THREE RIVERS SCHOOL Ms. Holly Simms, Principal of Three River Middle School attended tonight’s meeting. Ms. Simms had answers to questions from the previous meeting for council. She reported that 84 of 186 TRS students attended all 12 years at Three Rivers School; that’s 45% of students. She also stated that 164 of 186 students attended all four years of Taylor High School; that’s 88%. Lastly, Ms. Simms shared the past three years of standardized test scores for all grades which showed a negative impact from the COVID shutdown. However, in the past year, the scores in most subjects and grades have already improved to be on par or better than pre-COVID levels. Council agreed that the turn-around in these scores was very commendable. COMMITTEES: Finance – Dave Moorman No Report. Light, Water and Sewer - Fran Romweber No Report. Maintenance – Joe Bonner No Report. Police & Fire – Bill Deters No Report. Planning & Zoning – Bev Bolser Bev talked about a zoning variance for a property at 410 Three Rivers Parkway – the white house next to the BierMarkt. The area was zoned B2 (business) by North Bend in June, 1972 and the home was built in 1893. The owner (Mr. Navarro who also owns the BierMarkt) now wants to renovate the home and take occupancy. According to Bryan Snyder of the Hamilton County Planning and Zoning department, the house is considered a “non-conforming structure” due to the fact that it is a residence dwelling in a B2 (business) zone and also the remodel will not meet the setback requirement on the property line adjacent to the BierMarkt. The owner must submit an application including a variance request to Hamilton County after which a Board of Zoning Appeals meeting will need to be scheduled. On June 17, Bev called Mr. Navarro and left a detailed voicemail to let him know this information and what steps he needs to take to move this forward. The ball is now in his court. Law & Ordinance – Max Morgan Max reported that he has been busy with violation notices. He asked council about action taken by the Village after a second or third notice is sent. Scott Sollmann stated once a nuisance is declared via resolution, other legal processes can proceed if necessary. Minutes, June 27, 2022 Beautification – Fran Romweber Fran stated she raised $2,500 in contributions and has confirmed with Genesee & Wyoming Railroad that they will contribute the additional $2,500 for the removal of three trees on railroad property adjacent to the President William Henry Harrison memorial site. She has also asked the railroad to waive the application fees. We are working with Kevin’s Tree Service regarding the insurance requirements the railroad requires. COUNCIL’S OLD BUSINESS Bev Bolser asked about the status of the federal grant request North Bend submitted to Congressman Chabot’s office. Marilyn stated we have not heard from them to-date. Bev suggested we should reach out to them for any updates. LAW DIRECTOR’S OLD BUSINESS Scott emailed a copy of the updated Employee Handbook to council prior to the meeting. One question proposed was how to handle carry over of vacation days from one year to the next year. Council members did not have an issue with employees carrying over leftover vacation days since we have been doing this in the past. MAYOR’S OLD BUSINESS No Report. COUNCIL’S NEW BUSINESS No Report. LAW DIRECTOR’S NEW BUSINESS Scott stated he did not locate any information regarding when Sunset Avenue became a dedicated street. Marilyn did not locate any information either. Scott asked about the repair to Sunset Drive. Joe Bonner stated it’s the Village’s responsibility to repair Sunset Avenue from St. Annes entrance to the end of the curb, as that’s how we determine the street’s dedication. Rick received a proposal of $31,000 for this repair. Dave Moorman made a motion to repair Sunset Avenue from St. Annes entrance to the end of the curb for $31,000. Bev Bolser seconded the motion. Motion carried 100%. MAYOR’S NEW BUSINESS/ REPORT No Report. OPEN TO THE FLOOR Dave Moorman would like Mayor Sammons to report on the Mayor’s Conference he attended in June.
