VIII. Reports
A. Mayor - Lance Westcamp
City of Groveport Page 5
City Council Meeting Minutes May 26, 2020
Mayor Lance Westcamp thanked Brad Beatty from the American
Legion Robert Dutro Post, Warren Motts, the Groveport Police
Department, BJ King, and Jessica Reeves for making Memorial Day
happen in the City of Groveport. He and BJ King had worked on the
event for a while even with people trying to talk them out of holding the
event. It was a big success in spite of being very different and
something everyone had to adjust to. Lewis Compton did an excellent
job singing. The Mayor thanked Brad Beatty again for thanking the City
of Groveport for still following up on Memorial Day during the
COVID-19 pandemic. It shows what Memorial Day means to all of us
here in Groveport. He thanked the Trees & Decorations Committee for
the banners honoring twelve veterans displayed on the City's light
poles. Mr. Dildine, Trees & Decorations Committee Council
Representative, gave accolades to Patty Storts for finding the company
who designed the banners. Groveport’s veteran banners are some of
the best of the many Mr. Dildine has seen while riding through other
towns. The banners will go to the families of the veteran being honored.
Mr. Dildine agrees with Mayor Westcamp this looks to be a "no end in
sight program" for Groveport. Mayor Westcamp praised Warren Motts
for his excellent speech and for getting Chanel 4 to cover the event. He
also thanked Rick Palsgrove, Southeast Messenger Editor, for his
article covering the event as well. All shedding a great light on
Groveport. And the officers all wearing masks and making everyone
very proud of our police force.
B. Administrator - BJ King
Administrator BJ King updated Council on the matter of the inspection
of the trees on Front Street. The arborist found three trees on Front
Street that he recommended be removed with an additional two trees
on Elm Street. The trees are either dead or have dying root systems
and/or decay in the crown. Walt Wagner is getting several quotes for
the removal of the trees so the City can know the extent of the costs of
removing the trees.
The online survey on trash collection options was launched last week
for community feedback. It will be advertised again. To date there have
been 166 responses; of those 166, just shy of 50% have voted to
maintain status quo (using their own trash bins), and the second, at
about 30%, was the status quo and the 64 gallon recycling carts. Once
more responses come in Council will be updated.
On the matter of the Aquatic Center, the Governor announced that
pools could open but municipalities needed to consult with its local
City of Groveport Page 6
City Council Meeting Minutes May 26, 2020
county health department. The day after the May 18 Committee of the
Whole meeting, Franklin County Health Department came out with a
strongly worded memo stating that they strongly discourage the
opening of public pools. The FCHD thinks the requirements will be too
hard for staff to maintain. Mr. King thinks the City would be creating an
impossible situation for staff to maintain at the Groveport Aquatic
Center. Everyday more and more public pools are announcing their
closure for this season. Mr. King thinks the correct decision is for
Groveport to keep the Aquatic Center (outdoor pool) closed for the
remainder of this season. Council Member Cleary inquired that if all
the COVID-19 related safety procedures are reduced and the rules
change during the 2020 pool season, would it be feasible to open the
outdoor pool since it is full of water and ready. Mr. King deferred to
Recreation Director Kyle Lund. Mr. Lund stated that a decision needs
to be made because potential lifeguards will need to look for other
employment if Groveport’s pool remains closed. Mr. Lund noted that
the pool’s water and chemicals can be maintained to open up at a later
date but FCHD specifically states that if a public pool chooses to open,
they request it to be no earlier than July 1st. At that time Groveport
would have to reapply a statement that Groveport meets all the criteria
and have them bless the City’s opening procedures and policies. One
of the biggest challenges is the requirement of subdividing the pool;
not necessarily in 6’x6’ pods but possibly a pod for each individual
family that would be reserved and paid for online for a determined
amount of time, like 90 minutes or 3 hours. The pool would then close
for cleaning and reopen for a new round of reserved sessions. Many of
Groveport’s Aquatic Center amenities like the slides, lazy river,
sprayground, in-water playground, etc. would still be closed. Council
Member Hilbert agrees a decision needs to be made now. The
Administrator could make the administrative decision to close the pool
down for the season but Administrator King would like the support of
Council in doing so. In this circumstance, given the unprecedented
nature of shutting down the pool for an entire season, Mr. King would
like a motion to be made by Council. For now, the pool will remain full
of water for the observation of any leaks or other issues to be
addressed before the water is drained and the pool gets prepared for
the winter. Administration wants to stay on top of any issues before the
opening season 2021.
Council Member Lockett wanted to know if a resident had a concern
about the safety of a tree near their residence, who would they contact.
Mr. King advised residents can call the Administration offices to leave
City of Groveport Page 7
City Council Meeting Minutes May 26, 2020
their contact information and Mr. King will have Walt Wagner go out to
determine if the tree is the responsibility of the City or the homeowner. If
it is determined to be the responsibility of the City, arrangements will be
made to have the tree inspected. Mr. Lockett wants the City to get
ahead of the mosquitoes this year. Mr. King will get back to Council
about when the first spraying will be scheduled. The City will be looking
to schedule its own sprayings in between the scheduled Franklin
County sprayings.
A motion was made by Council Member Hilbert, seconded by Council Member
Dildine, for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Groveport, to not
open the Aquatic Center outdoor pool for the 2020 season. The motion carried
by the following vote:
Excused: 1- Hutson
Yes: 5- Cleary, Dildine, Grashel, Hilbert and Lockett

Palsgrove for the fantastic article in the Southeast Messenger on
Groveport’s Memorial Day ceremony. The City is moving forward with
the purchase of the property at 480 Main Street. Closing is scheduled
City of Groveport Page 8
City Council Meeting Minutes May 26, 2020
for this Friday; asbestos testing is scheduled to be completed tomorrow
and the City has contracted with Colvin Gravel for the demolition of the
structure. The work should be all wrapped up in the next couple of
weeks. There was some confusion last Thursday with a box truck
parked in front of Ace Hardware; it was thought to be one of the three
food trucks the City has scheduled. The truck was back on Friday and
the City came to find out they were selling meat out of the box truck.
Captain Blevins quickly dispatched the people and told them that
selling meat on the street was not allowed. In the face of that situation,
since the City is getting more and more requests from food trucks,
Groveport will be implementing a permit process requiring every food
truck to submit credentials and health department certification and
submitting the days they will be scheduling to be in Groveport. This will
allow the City to vouch for that food truck’s certification and promote
their schedule on Facebook. Phillips Coney is scheduled to be back in
Groveport.
Administrator King and Recreation Director Kyle Lund had gone over
the plan to allow the City to open the Recreation Center at a reduced
capacity by limiting the number of patrons in the facility at any given
time, spreading out equipment, and closing certain amenities that the
staff would be unable to keep patrons safe during this pandemic. Mr.
King believes Mr. Lund has come up with a very solid plan.
