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.

Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) - Renner
In anticipation of tonight’s City Council meeting, I am forwarding the following
information for your report. Since we are only less two weeks into the new year, my
report is geared towards looking ahead for the CVB in the first quarter of 2018:
· Travel Show Season - If you’re dreaming of escaping the cold and snow,
head to the AAA Great Vacations Expo this weekend (Jan. 19-21) at the
Greater Columbus Convention Center. The Visit Gahanna team will be there
all weekend, greeting guests and sharing information on all of the unique
places to experience in Gahanna. Stop by their booth, show them the Visit
Gahanna mobile app that you’ve downloaded to your phone, and receive a
free gift from the Visit Gahanna team! The following weekend (weekend of
Jan. 26-29), part of the team will participate in a travel show in Charlotte,
NC, meeting with tour operators and marketing experiences in Gahanna,
while other team members will participate in a local wedding show, meeting
with brides and grooms and selling Gahanna as an ideal wedding destination.
· Marketing Efforts - Over the last two weeks, the Visit Gahanna team has
been busy negotiating and purchasing ad buys in regional, national and
international advertising/media outlets as part of its 2018 marketing plan for
Gahanna. Artwork for long lead ads has also been already created and
submitted, while new marketing materials also are being created.
· Herbal Cocktail Trail, Part 2 - On February 1, 2017, Visit Gahanna
launched the Herbal Cocktail Trail to highlight Gahanna’s designation and
reputation as the Herb Capital of Ohio and to create a product offering
designed to drive visitor traffic to Gahanna. The Trail featured 8 select
business partners, each of whom crafted a signature cocktail. 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. In the next several weeks, Visit Gahanna will unveil the 2018 Herbal
Cocktail Trail Passport, which will feature brand new cocktails to sample and
savor from both returning and new partners.
· Herbal Trail Adventure Pass - Building upon the success of the Herbal
Cocktail Trail, Visit Gahanna will officially launch its new Herbal Trail
City of Gahanna Page 11
City Council Meeting Minutes January 16, 2018
Adventure Pass on January 22. While the Herbal Cocktail Trail is geared
towards our adult visitors, the Herbal Trail Adventure Pass provides fun and
entertaining options for families of all ages to enjoy together. The Herbal
Trail Adventure allows participants to earn a sticker when they take
advantage of exclusive discounts and offerings that are only available at 14
participating locations with the Adventure Pass. After earning 5 stickers,
they can redeem their Pass for a free gift provided by Visit Gahanna.
· Visit Gahanna Annual Breakfast Meeting - On Tuesday, February 27,
Visit Gahanna will hold its Annual Breakfast Meeting, “Tourism: Sowing
Seeds of Prosperity,” at LaNavona, located at 154 N. Hamilton Rd.,
Gahanna. We will look back at our efforts to drive visitors to Gahanna in
2017, and honor and recognize business partners whose dedication to the
Gahanna community helped the Bureau to generate economic impact for our
businesses. We are especially excited to announce that the meeting will
feature a keynote presentation by Mr. Roger Brooks, one of the world’s most
sought after speaker on the subjects of tourism, downtown development and
destination marketing (rogerbrooksinternational.com). The meeting is open to
the public; tickets are available online at visitgahanna.com.
