RES-0001-2018 TO HONOR AND COMMEND CHIEF DENNIS MURPHY FOR TWENTY-FOUR YEARS OF DISTINGUISHED SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS OF THE COMMUNITY OF THE CITY OF GAHANNA. The Mayor honored Chief Murphy for his years of service, followed by former Mayor Jim Mcgregor and State Representative Ann Gonzales; President of Council, Brian Larick, led all Council members to present proclamation. Chief Murphy presented the following speech: City Council, Mayor Kneeland, Safety Director Thomas, City Attorney Ewald, distinguished guests, friends and fellow veterans. First and foremost, I want to thank God for all his blessings he has bestowed upon me, my family and the division of police. Police Chaplin City of Gahanna Page 1 City Council Meeting Minutes January 16, 2018 Guido Mangiantini, my Rabbi, shared with me Daniel 2:21 “He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” We have always had a strong Chaplin corps and I appreciate their dedicated service and support to the division and the residents of Gahanna. To my loving wife Ellen for sharing this 36 year journey together with prayers, humor and patience. You are my love and inspiration, and I never would have made it without you. And thank you to our amazing daughters who we could not be more proud of. I know it wasn’t always easy having your father as the Chief of Police. From the book of Virtues, there is a story entitled, “The Sword of Damocles” which is a wonderful tale about “if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.” It is a great reminder that if we aspire to any kind of high office or job, we must be willing to live with all the burdens that come with it. I would like to recognize the five previous police chiefs who have lead the division: James Sager 1958 - 60 Robert Brandon 1960 - 71 Roger Shirtzinger 1971 - 89 Robert Kelly 1989 - 94 Daniel Stumpf 1994 - 97 I want to thank Mayor Jim McGregor and Safety Director Robert Keyes for promoting me to chief and trusting me to lead the organizational and cultural change of our department. It wasn’t always pretty and in hindsight, I might have done a few things differently. But their deep abiding faith allowed us to fight the righteous battles that needed to be fought and never once was political convenience or correctness a factor in the equation. Both Jim McGregor and Robert Keyes are wise and honest men. I appreciate their friendship and sage counsel throughout the years. When I was sworn in as chief in these chambers, my mission from Mayor McGregor was clear and concise; “Keep Well the Bridge.” From the story of “Horatius at the Bridge” when in the late sixth century B.C., the King of the Etruscans raised a great army and marched towards Rome. The city had never been in such great danger and the fathers knew if the Etruscans gained the bridge, there would be no hope for their town. Although an allegory, I understood the mission and the mayor’s intent to protect Gahanna from not only the Etruscans but anyone or anything that jepordized the health, safety and welfare of our residents and businesses. I want to thank Mayor Becky Stinchcomb who always had my back and City of Gahanna Page 2 City Council Meeting Minutes January 16, 2018 for that I cannot thank her enough. Loyalty is a precious and rare leadership trait, often misunderstood and usually given only lip service. Our lines of communication were open, honest and without ambiguity. While I thrived in that environment, it might have been uncomfortable for others but it was always in the best interest of the division and the city. Mayor Stinchcomb was a great supporter and champion of the division of police and the entire chain of command. To Mayor Kneeland and the Safety Director Thomas your journey continues and you have been entrusted with a phenomenal group of law enforcement professionals. The trajectory of this organization is moving upward rapidly. I am confident in it and the leaders in place to move the division to heights that anyone would be envious to achieve. For the past 20 plus years, I have been blessed with three great deputy chiefs. Larry Rinehart, Ken Bell and Jeff Spence. There is a season for all things and these gentlemen were the right men, at the right time, supporting me in accomplishing our mission. Loyalty, trust, and honesty are non-negotiable and while rare in most professions we are blessed with an abundance. I have been honored to work with two consummate professionals whose job title of “office manager” does not do them justice. My first nine years was with Sharon Wigal and these past 12 years with Terrie Snider. Their loyalty, candor and friendship is immeasurable. It was uncanny the number of times that both Sharon and Terrie either slapped their foreheads or bit their hands in a manner that I found so familiar to my own mother’s Italian communication skills. I discovered that I was able to make them laugh and cry -- often at the same time. Without their support, hard work, dedication and loyalty we would have floundered as an organization. Over these past 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with many directors and deputy directors. You know there is a lot of talent when they are recruited by other cities as they continue their career progression. But I would be remise if I did not call out our service director Dottie Franey. She is an incredible person and priceless asset to our city. Her leadership and mastery of her profession is the gold standard for all others to aspire. I must thank all the city workers who support the police department every day. From the parks workers who shovel our snow, cut our grass and lift really heavy things -- like the weight room; to the service department who keeps our fleet running safe and reliably; and the street department who reacts to every police request without hesitation, and often times in the middle of the night. Technology is a wonderful thing but it doesn’t run by itself. On more than one occasion, I heard the IT guys muter the word “Neanderthal” after leaving my office. City of Gahanna Page 3 City Council Meeting Minutes January 16, 2018 My definition of leadership has evolved throughout the years. “Mission first, troops always” was the foundation of my Army experience. As chief, I learned that leadership includes the “willingness to accept the burdens and the risks, the potential embarrassment, and the occasional failure of leading men and women.” My leadership epiphany occurred when I realized that in a mature, professional organization, as found in the Gahanna division of police, that leadership is to, “provide them guidance when they need it, and give advice when they ask for it, but let them do their jobs.” I could not be more proud of the men and women of this Division. The citizens and businesses, respect, appreciate and love our officers and staff. This did not occur through happenstance nor was it an overnight project, but an arduous journey that must continue into the future. My dad told the story of a co-worker who once said, “Rome was not built in a day.” My dad’s response, “I was not the foreman on that job.” When I started this job as chief, I thought we could change the organizational culture in one year -- I missed that mark by four years. We set, maintained and did not deviate from tough, realistic standards. We started by pulling a lot of weeds in order to have a pretty garden. Beginning with physical fitness, requiring phenomenal people skills, focused on problem solving and trusted to accomplish their mission we have developed a lean, agile, and responsive law enforcement agency. In the most simplistic of terms great police work involves helping good people who need help and arresting bad people who need arrested. Our supervisors with their gold badges are the standard bearers insuring accountability department wide while encouraging innovation and developing future leaders. I am honored to have been involved with the promotion of every supervisor in our department. I am especially proud of our female offices who represent 11% of the uniformed force and 27% of our entire work force. No other agency in central Ohio can make this same claim. We must continue to strive for diversity but not only in color and ethnicity but thought, opinion and ideas. We must embrace THIS meaning of diversity in order to continue the very best service to our great community. There has been an effort to divide the police and those that we serve. This effort runs deep across the nation but we are blessed in Gahanna to have such a professional organization and the support of our residents and businesses. Together, we have weathered Y2K, 9-11, the Gahanna lion, the ice storm of 2004, Hurricane Ike in 2008, the recession, the nationwide assault on the law enforcement profession and God only knows what is around the corner. But with His blessings, I am confident that the division of police is trained, equipped and prepared to deal with whatever may come. Our City of Gahanna Page 4 City Council Meeting Minutes January 16, 2018 officers will run to the sound of gunshots and face evil without compunction. They fear not Etruscans nor any man for they wear the full armor of God and will keep the peace, protect your property, fight crime and the fear of crime thus allowing our community to thrive and flourish. I am honored to have served on the same team. When I retired from the Army, I did not miss the Army. I missed the people who were my brothers and sisters who put everything on the line and only asked the same in return. Now that I am retiring from the police department, I will not miss the department, and I sure as hell will not miss Monday night council meetings. I will miss these brave officers and dedicated staff who will always be in my heart and prayers. I wish them all this same opportunity to stand in front of council on their retirements and enjoy their families in future adventures. Speaking of which, Ellen and I look forward to seeing new places and meeting new people around the country. Our goal is to visit every national park in our 5th Wheel RV, visit old Army buddies until they unplug my extension cord or coil up my garden hose. But no matter where we go and who we meet I will speak proudly and think fondly of my brothers and sisters of the Gahanna Division of Police I know in my heart that I leave this city in good hands with a police department second to none. My friends, “Keep well the bridge” and may God continue to bless our division of police, the City of Gahanna and the United States of America. 2. School Board Update None. D.

Visit Gahanna invested significant dollars in promoting the Cocktail Trail, which included advertisements in regional and national magazines, at travel shows, printed marketing materials and digital marketing. The Trail was met with tremendous enthusiasm and success, as residents and visitors experienced many Gahanna restaurants and breweries for the first time and resulted in establishing returning customers for the businesses. In addition, more than 90% of the folks who redeemed their passports after “exploring” the Trail did more than just order the featured cocktail at the participating locations - they planned evenings and events around their experience, dining and trying new dishes.
