Proposed consent agenda items and legislation were discussed for the upcoming October 20 meeting.
It is seven thirty. We're going to go ahead and get started. This is a duly noticed workshop meeting of Hudson City Council, held in accordance with the Sunshine Laws of the State of Ohio, Section One Twenty One Point Two Two, and the City of Hudson Charter, Article Three, Section Three. If anyone has any comments to share, get my attention. Kyle. Thank you. Um I would just like to say thank you to Ms. Kitty Benke, uh, who has served as our economic development director for the past, I believe, three years now. Um, did a fantastic job at the position, and uh she's moved on now to uh be leading our area chamber of commerce. So she'll still be serving the city of Hudson and uh using all of her great connections and knowledge to help our city and its economy. So thank you, Katie, and thank you for your continued work. I'm still uh in this in the five stages of grief. I'm still in anger, so I'm I'm not gonna comment about Katie right now, but anyways, um Daniel. Uh yeah, yesterday, Councilwoman Diermo, uh the city manager, the mayor, and myself held a round round table uh with representatives from the schools, the parks, and the police chief uh to address uh the e-bike and microemidability devices. Uh we had a pretty collaborative discussion. Um wanted to have all of our ideas and plans kind of aligned, so that was one message coming from all angles of the city. Um we feel pretty good about where we're gonna land on um councilwoman de Armand and I are gonna work on that on that coming weeks, and we should be talking about here in the workshop. I'd say in uh two to three weeks. So Jeffrey, Samantha? Yep. Okay. Thank you. Um, just a few quick uh community updates from my side. Uh, I just wanted to say again thank you to the staff at the Northeast Ohio Girl Scout STEM Center for excellence. Uh they gave uh Council President Byrd, Mr. Sheridan, and I a tour, uh, and were very hospitable to us uh this past week. Uh this is a newer facility, uh, and the programming and the resources available for our youth is an amazing asset to this area. So congratulations to them and thank you. Um I do want to say also thank you to everyone who came out uh for the unveiling of the honorary street sign for the late Clark Rumizer. Clark's name will now forever be watching over that corner, that corner, which is the Clark Rumizer Corner. So thank you to everybody that came out, uh, Public Works and everybody else that uh helped make that possible, and obviously this council for the resolutions that we passed. Um, a couple other quick things. I'll be submitting my monthly article for the Hudson Life coming up here later this week. Um, as another reminder, the Hudson City School District is closed again this Friday for an in-service day. However, there will be a high school football game, which this uh week game is at 7 p.m. and it is a home game at Memorial Stadium here in Hudson. Uh this Saturday is also the Hudson City Schools Foundation's alumni hall of fame induction. So congratulations to all of those inductees.
