President Vicki Hoppe called the regular Sharonville Council meeting of February 26, 2019 to order at 7:04 p.m. A moment of silence was held followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by Kurt Irey.

ROLL CALL ♦ In attendance for Roll Call were Council Members: Rob Tankersley, Mike Wilson, Charles Lippert, Shayok Dutta, Dave Koch, Sue Knight and Paul Schmidt. Also in attendance were Mayor Kevin Hardman, President Vicki Hoppe, Safety Service Director Jim Lukas, Auditor Ed Cunningham, Treasurer Kurt Irey, and Department Heads: Community Development Director John Creech and Police Chief Steve Vanover. Mark Piepmeier was absent with notice.

MINUTES ♦ The Minutes from the regular council meeting of February 12, 2019 were approved as written and distributed.

REPORTS AND COMMUNICATIONS ♦ MAYOR – KEVIN HARDMAN o Deferred to the guest speakers in attendance.

♦ SAFETY SERVICE DIRECTOR – JIM LUKAS o George Glover and Tim Gilday from the Mill Creek Conservancy District led a very detailed discussion involving the Mill Creek Conservancy District and its future. A packet describing its history and the issues the District faces now was provided to Council, a copy of which is attached to the Minutes. The future of the District and the Mill Creek itself is in danger if decisions on how to run it and how to fund it are not taken. . Mr. Lippert reviewed a topic brought up at the Sharonville Convention Center’s presentation having to do with flood channel vs. barrier dam. It was said that the flood channel is currently controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers who is handing over control to the MCCD, based on a decades-old contract, and after all of their projects are completed. In opposition of that, it was said that the barrier dam is controlled by the City of Cincinnati. After Mr. Lippert and Mr. Gilday’s discussion, it was learned that information has surfaced that might change control agreements with the barrier dam ultimately having that responsibility be split. However, for the sake of the discussion, assuming the City of Cincinnati controls the barrier dam, why would the MCCD consider taking over the barrier dam if it currently does not have to fund it. Mr. Gilday reminded Council there are five options they’ve come up with, that being only one of them. Nothing has been decided on

2/26/2019 pg. 1 any of these topics, but felt they had to include all aspects in this decision-making process. Another topic raised was in reference to a hearing in front of Judge Luebbers where approval of these options would be finalized. That will happen after more public hearings and committee hearings are had. o Explanation of Legislation: . 2019-04 was amended to include Section II so that Council is aware of any changes made to the policy manual. . 2019-05 was the subject of the public hearing earlier this evening. . 2019-09-E: relates to the vehicles the City would like to dispose of. . 2019-R-04-E: Mr. Creech presented the application last meeting. . 2019-11-E deals with a piece of legislation that Council passed last November for the purchase of property. That purchase is complete and had remaining funds and the City is requesting those remaining funds stay in the CIC instead of going back to the general fund to allow for funding of other improvement projects. Late delivery was requested due to the amendments made to the Ordinance. . 2019-R-02-E: deals with Duke and the remainder due on the Chester Road project and is requesting support from Council.

RESIDENTS DESIRING TO BE HEARD BEFORE COUNCIL ♦ None.

OTHER MATTERS TO BE HEARD BEFORE COUNCIL ♦ Chief Vanover was asked by Mr. Tankersley to explain to Council the reasoning behind Ordinance 2019-12 which deals with the disposing of abandoned vehicles. Due to a code from the ORC, the City is required to process paperwork on all abandoned property on the lot. Tow companies have issues with junk titles and disposing of the abandoned property so this ordinance will help them process their paperwork for a fee, covering costs of sending certified copies of owners or lien holders in an attempt to assist in the disposal of vehicles. ♦ President Hoppe recognized Mr. Dutta’s award for business/hospitality professions is the Champion Award for bringing the Ms. Ohio Pageant to Sharonville and furthering visitor tourism.

ADJOURNMENT ♦ The motion by Mr. Lippert to adjourn the meeting was seconded by Mr. Wilson. President of Council Vicki Hoppe adjourned the meeting at 8:26 p.m.

Rebuilding and Reinforcing the Mill Creek Watershed

1 History of Mill Creek

• 28.4-mile stream beginning in Butler County and ending in the Ohio River in Cincinnati • Late 1800s/early 1900s: Mill Creek was a dumping ground for industrial and agricultural waste • 1945: Barrier dam pumping station built at mouth of Mill Creek • 1960: Stream described as extremely polluted by ODNR • 1962: Mill Creek Valley Conservancy District (“MVCD”) established to address flooding • 1995: 17 political jurisdictions agreed to work together to save the stream and its drainage area

2 BOUNDARY ESTABLISHED FOR MVCD

3 Mill Creek Valley Conservancy District

• Local sponsor for the Army Corps of Engineers flood control project for the Mill Creek Valley • Seeks responsible flood control options for the Mill Creek flood plain in Hamilton and Butler counties • Currently owns and maintains completed sections of the flood control project

4 History of Funding

• In the past, the MVCD has received funds from several communities to continue its work – City of Cincinnati, City of Sharonville, Village of Evendale • MVCD has lost funding and community support over the years • As sections are transferred from the Corps to the MVCD, the MVCD will incur additional costs for maintenance

5 6 Ohio 2016 Capital Funding

• MVCD was awarded $200K from the current State of Ohio capital budget for rebuilding and reinforcing the Mill Creek – Project is part of a larger plan to improve habitat, water quality, recreation, economic development and flood reduction • $200K will be used to obtain easements the Army Corps of Engineers requires to complete the reinforcement • Actual construction will be paid for using $4 million of federal funding

7 Ohio 2018 Capital Funding • MVCD was awarded $150,000 in the 2018 State of Ohio Capital Budget for stream corridor improvement projects • Funds will be used for property and conservation easement acquisition to obtain over 100 additional acres of floodplain in the MVCD corridor • The additional acreage will be used to leverage an additional $500,000 of donated property and over $2 million in state and federal grant funds to make critically important stream corridor improvements, including – Flood plain reconnection to reduce local flooding and, in turn, flood insurance rates – Storm water controls to reduce combined sewer overflow volume entering the Mill Creek during rain events – Construction of a recreational trail network in alignment with existing trail plans in Sharonville, Evendale and Reading – New and re-development of currently underutilized parcels along the MVCD corridor for retail, commercial, industrial and residential land uses to increase local tax revenues and job creation 8 Importance of Renewed Funding

• Mill Creek has a history of significant flooding • MVCD needs funding and easements to work with the Army Corps of Engineers on a flood control plan to address repeated flooding of homes and businesses along the creek • As the Army Corps fades out, Mill Creek will have greater responsibility • Reaching out to Mill Creek Valley communities of Cincinnati, Reading, Sharonville, St. Bernard, Arlington Heights, Elmwood Place, Evendale and Lockland

Importance of Easements

• MVCD is working with property owners along the Mill Creek to obtain permanent easements – MVCD owns the Mill Creek itself but requires permission to cross other property to get to the actual Mill Creek • Permanent easements will: – Provide access so the Army Corps can reinforce the Mill Creek using $4 million of federal funds – Provide the MVCD with permanent access to the Mill Creek to perform maintenance on the Mill Creek after the Army Corps turns sections over to the MVCD • Easement discussions providing a good opportunity to renew and reinforce relationships with communities

• Determine Conservancy Mission and Scope • Identify District Boundary • Select Assessment Method • Coordinate Implementation with Stakeholders and Partners District Boundary

Current Boundary • Metes and Bounds recorded in Official Plan • Approximately 14,300 parcels

• Mill Creek Flood Control Channel • ~$4.8 MM / year • ~$30 / month per parcel • ~$360 / year per parcel District Boundary

Channel and Barrier Dam • Inclusion of Barrier Dam protection (up to 506’) • Approximately 20,500 parcels

• Channel and Dam • ~$10.5 MM / year • ~$43 / month per parcel • ~$515 / year per parcel District Boundary

Watershed • Mill Creek Watershed (Hamilton County) • Approximately 183,000 parcels

• Channel and Dam • ~$10.5 MM / year • ~$5 / month per parcel • ~$60 / year per parcel Conservancy Assessment Considerations Assessment Methods

• Parcel Value • Flood Benefit ◦ Depth of Flooding from Historic Event ◦ Level of Protection Provided ◦ Flooding Factor • Watershed Approach ◦ Area / Impervious Area ◦ Landuse Code ◦ "Equivalent Residential Unit" (ERU) • Combination Conservancy Assessment Considerations Current Stormwater / Flood Fees

• Hamilton County Stormwater District (HCSWD) • Member municipalities/townships • Cincinnati SMU • City of Cincinnati parcels (ERU ranges from $50-60 per year) • MSDGC (In Development) • Either all MSDGC customers or potentially all contributors of stormwater to MSDGC system Next Steps Path Forward

• Identify Scope of Assessment • Scope of Conservancy District • District Boundary • Potential Assessment Methods • Obtain Funding for Plan and Appraisal Record Update • Ohio Water Development Authority • Revise Official Plan • Prepare Appraisal Record • Implement OPTIONS FOR MVCD FUTURE

1) Keep current District boundary with no provision for increasing funding - Not feasible due to unreliable funding sources for future especially considering possible future expenditures - May request Court to dissolve District - Property and responsibility for channel improvements would probably fall to abutting jurisdictions

2) Keep current District boundary and establish a district fee - 14,300 parcels - $4,800,000 per year required - $28 per month per parcel / $335 per year per parcel

3) Adjust current District boundary to include parcels protected by Barrier Dam and establish a district fee - 20,500 parcels - $10,500,000 per year required - $43 per month per parcel / $515 per year per parcel

4) Adjust current District boundary to the Hamilton County portion of watershed without Barrier Dam and establish a district fee - 176,800 parcels - $4,800,000 per year required - $2.25 per month per parcel / $27 per year per parcel

5) Adjust current District boundary to the Hamilton County portion of watershed and include the Barrier Dam and establish a district fee - 183,000 parcels - $10,500,000 per year required - $5 per month per parcel / $60 per year per parcel
