VIII. PUBLIC COMMENTS: To comment on a topic not scheduled for a Public
Hearing, please fill out a Speaker Form and return it to the Clerk of Council
BEFORE the start of the meeting. When called upon, proceed to the microphone,
state your name and address, and proceed with your comments. You will have

Ms. Estella Crews of 4434 Redonda Lane expressed concerns regarding certain
neighborhoods. She asked what more can be done regarding the upkeep of
business and residential properties. She reported that she sees auto repairs
shops in the streets, car dealerships from homes, tall grass, tire debris, trash
cans left out, and burning trash. Ms. Crews also reported that she frequently
sees vehicles parked in fire lanes and that currently she is dealing with a duck
and chicken problem. She shared that neighbors have called the police and
stated that she does not know the ordinance for having fowl in a
neighborhood, but that the ducks and chicken are running amuck and leaving
their droppings, which creates a medical hazard for her. Mayor Page thanked
Ms. Crews for bringing these issues to Council and asked City Manager to have
Code Enforcement Supervisor Max Fuller speak with Ms. Crews to address her
concerns.
Ms. JoAnne Orihood of 14 Oak Street stated that there is a situation on West
Worley, about a block from the end of the street. She explained there is a
vacant lot that she believes is owned by the City and children who live across
the street are riding their electric and gas bikes around a track they made on
the property. She stated that there are 2 - 4 bikes riding around the track on a
regular basis, and sometimes others with bigger bikes join them. Ms. Orihood
asked what could be done about this as she feels this is not the right place for
such activity. She added that the neighbors living nearby are frustrated
because it is very disturbing, particularly to the elderly people and people who
work at night. Mayor Page stated that staff will work with Code Enforcement to
address the matter.
Ms. Vickie Nelson of 202 East Main Street shared that she is a lifelong resident
of Trotwood and that she is a truck driver who has parked her truck at Devers,
with their permission, for over 25 years. She made Council aware that the truck
drivers they see are members of the community; no one is coming off of
Interstate 70 to park in Trotwood. She shared that the average pay for a truck
driver is $67,000 per year and further, they are not a strain on City resources
because they are not home but only for short periods of time to see their
family. Now, she has no place to park her truck. Ms. Nelson said zoning told
her to develop a parking lot; however, she believes there are empty parking
lots in Trotwood and doesn't see the need to develop another lot. She shared
that she has heard road conditions is a big concerns. Ms. Nelson stated that
City buses are heavier than a semi with an empty trailer. She added that she
agrees trucks should not be parking in residential areas, but that is not what
she is asking. She is simply asking to park at a business who has given her
permission to do so. She stated that she has been told all the other
communities don't allow it, but she believes Trotwood is special and has
something other communities do not have. Ms. Nelson shared that currently,
her truck is parked 100 miles away so she will spend over four hours picking up
her truck, which is time lost with her family. She explained that she has looked
around for places the City might consider for truck parking and believes the
junior high, which has a huge parking lot, would be an ideal place that would
City of Trotwood Page 3
City Council Meeting Minutes - Final June 3, 2024
be out of the way and able to withstand the weight of a truck; she just needs a
nearby place to park her truck. Mayor Page first thanked Ms. Nelson for being a
Trotwood resident, then stated that she would discuss the issue with the City
Manager and someone would get back to her. Ms. Nelson reminded Mayor
Page that when she talked to zoning their solution was for her to develop a
parking lot for trucks, which she doesn't understand since there are many lots
already available.
Clerk Landis stated that Melanie White registered to speak about wifi service
and lot splits. Mr. Larry White announced from the audience that Melanie
White was unable to attend the meeting.

OR07-24 Exhibit A
City Manager Pope explained that in an effort to mitigate inflation, this
Resolution will allow the City to offer a 20% discount on refuse to those who
qualify for and participate in the homestead exemption program.
Council Member Vaughn asked City Manager Pope if there had been any
studies as to the overall impact on the community as far as general revenue
lost and the cost to be carried by other taxpayers. City Manager Pope shared
that if 15% of the City's current accounts qualified and participated in the
homestead exemption program, the lost revenue would be approximately
$47,150 in 2025 and $50,686 in 2026.
Council Member Vaughn asked if City Manager Pope felt this discount would
decrease the delinquent accounts, and that monies the City won't collect due
to the discount wouldn't have been received anyway. City Manager Pope
shared that he has received many complaints from residents on a fixed income
who can't pay there bill so he believes this discount help residents.

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final June 3, 2024
OR08-24 AN ORDINANCE BY THE TROTWOOD CITY COUNCIL REPEALING
CHAPTER 151 “EMPLOYMENT PROVISIONS” OF THE TROTWOOD
CODES OF ORDINANCES AND ENACTING NEW CHAPTER 151
“EMPLOYMENT PROVISIONS,” AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Attachments: OR08-24
OR08-24 Exhibit A
Deputy City Manager Kellum explained that one of the revisions to Chapter 151
is simply a housekeeping measure as Council previously voted to include
Juneteenth as a paid holiday for employees; therefore, the holiday needed to
be added to the policy.
Deputy City Manager Kellum discussed a revision to help curtail the abuse of
the policy regarding holiday pay. She explained that currently if a person uses
sick time the day before a holiday, the policy allows them to receive holiday
pay before returning to work the day afterwards. She added that the idea
behind benefits is to reward employees for good behavior, not for poor
performance or attendance. She recommends adding a provision that
employees must work the day before and the day after a holiday in order to
receive the benefit and that this is also the generally accepted practice.
Another revision explained by Deputy City Manager Kellum is the need to
revise vacation time for employees in their first year of service. She explained
that currently such employees only earn 40 hours of vacation time. However,
in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code, employees with 1 - 4 years of
service should earn 80 hours of vacation time. She added that this revision will
help with retention and recruitment, and bring the City into line with state law.
Deputy City Manager Kellum then discussed injury leave, which is a benefit
that is easily abused. She explained that the current policy allows a person
who is off with a work-related injury to receive up to 90 days of paid time off
without using their accrued sick time, vacation time, and/or personal time. She
pointed out that this is the same amount of time allowed under the Family
Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and that the policy also includes part-time
employees. She pointed out that if the employee does not feel they are able to
return to work after 90 days of paid time off, they can then use their earned
sick time, vacation time, and/or personal time. Deputy City Manager Kellum
stated that this policy could be easily abused. She explained that the purpose
of worker's compensation is to rehabilitate an injured employee and get them
back to work as quickly as possible, even if in a restricted capacity. Therefore,
she is proposing to limit the number of days of paid time off for a work-related
injury to 45 calendar days for full-time employees and 30 calendar days for
part-time employees and that the Human Resources Department (HR) be
responsible for certifying an injury, at their discretion. She added that currently
there are no requirements that claims be certified.
Deputy City Manager stated that the last recommendation applies to
departments with a small staff, or those with only one employee. She
explained that there are times when the needs and demands of the job do not
allow the employee to take their earned time off so it is being proposed that
select management have the option to cash in one week of vacation time. She
added that this will also limit the liability when those employees retire.

City Council Meeting Minutes - Final June 3, 2024
Council Member Moore asked Deputy City Manger Kellum if employee injuries
have been an issue. Deputy City Manager Kellum explained that currently
there are a couple of issues that had HR staff not have been aggressive in
addressing the City's legal rights, they could have been more serious, then
added that she feels this type of behavior can be cancerous. Council Member
Moore asked about the certification being at the discretion of HR. Deputy City
Manager Kellum explained that HR staff will evaluate each case as to the
likeliness that the injury is a result of work-related activity, not due to
horseplay; they will talk with supervisors and witnesses, and work with the
managed care organization and third-party administrator to make the
determination. Council Member Moore asked if there are any exceptions to the
number of days granted based on the department or occupation. Deputy City
Manager Kellum stated that the benefit is based on the type of injury and that
most claims are certified. She reminded Council Member Moore that she wants
to be proactive and that this is simply a safeguard for some trending situations.
Deputy City Manager Kellum added that each case will be reviewed exercising
due diligence. Council Member Moore shared that she doesn't like to see
punitive measures taken when only a few are the cause of the problem.
Deputy City Manager Kellum explained that the policy already contains a
provision that the City Manager has the authority to extend the leave, if
necessary.
Council Member Vaughn asked if these revisions are consistent with other
cities of similar size. Deputy City Manager Kellum answered yes and added
that in addition to the department's research, they work with our HR
departments. Council Member Vaughn then asked if, with the exception of the
City Manager's discretion, employees have other avenues if they disagree.
Deputy City Manager Kellum advised that employees can appeal a decision
through the worker's compensation system. Council Member Vaughn asked if
the Civil Service Commission is involved. Deputy City Manager Kellum said
they are not involved in work-related injuries. Council Member Vaughn then
asked if an employee still accrues sick time and vacation time when they are
off for a work-related injury. Deputy City Manager Kellum explained that
employees still accrue such benefits during their absence due to certain legal
protections.
Council Member Vaughn asked Deputy City Manager Kellum if she has
reached out to the unions. Deputy City Manager Kellum replied that she had
not. Council Member Vaughn commented that he expects it will be brought up
during the next round of negations.
Mayor Page requested a Motion to adopt Ordinance No. OR08-24 as an
emergency. A Motion was made by Vice Mayor Brown, seconded by Council
Member Gales, and the Motion CARRIED by the following vote:

OR09-24 AN ORDINANCE BY THE TROTWOOD CITY COUNCIL AMENDING
THE 2024 WAGE SCALES ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. OR37-23
TO ADD A PART-TIME, NON-UNION POSITION, AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY.
Attachments: OR09-24
OR09-24 Exhibit A
Deputy City Manager Kellum announced that the EMT collaboration between
Trotwood-Madison High School and the City's newly implemented Explorer
Program has two students that have completed and passed the EMT course
and they are ready to take the state certification test. She reminded Council
that offering this course to high school students is an innovative and proactive
way to "grow our own" first responders. She explained that the first step is to
add the EMT-B position so that once these students pass the state test, the City
can hire them.
Council Member Vaughn asked about the vetting of these applications and
what steps are required to ensure they are qualified applicants. Deputy City
Manager Kellum explained that a background check, driving record check,
fitness for duty evaluation, and drug testing are always performed to determine
the applicants suitability; she added that psychology exams are only ordered
for certain full-time positions. Council Member Vaughn then asked if this is an
EMT course or EMT and Fire course. Deputy City Manager Kellum stated that
this course is only for EMT. Deputy Chief McInturff confirmed that the course is
the same nationally-accredited course taught at Sinclair College; same
requirements, same standards, same test, it is simply taught in a remote
location.
Mayor Page shared that she is excited about this program and appreciates the
work that has been done to establish the partnership.
After the vote, Clerk Landis added for the record, this ordinance and the
previous ordinance, OR08-24, are being adopted as emergencies in order for
the provisions to go into effect immediately rather than at the expiration of 30
days per the Charter, and that all other requirements to notice a public hearing
were completed.
Mayor Page requested a Motion to adopt Ordinance No. OR09-24 as an
emergency. A Motion was made by Council Member Vaughn, seconded by

Attachments: R24-46
City Manager Pope explained that this Resolution will extend the moratorium
on multi-family housing to December 31, 2024 so that the City can work to
update the land use policy.
Council Member Moore asked City Manager Pope to explain the pros and cons
of the moratorium. City Manager Pope explained the purpose of a moratorium
and in this instance, how it provides the City time to review the land use policy
in order to determine how to move forward as a community. He added that the
con is that developers cannot pursue multi-family housing until the moratorium
expires. Council Member Moore asked when the current moratorium expires
and asked for confirmation that his is simply an extension. City Manager Pope
confirmed that this is an extension and that the current moratorium expires
July 31, 2024.

take advantage of this service.
Vice Mayor Brown agreed with Council Member Gales and added that she
recently learned detectors are needed in each bedroom. She then reminded
everyone that it is June and a great time to engage with your neighbors. Vice
Mayor Brown mentioned the first concert of the summer series is scheduled for

to meet. She shared how important it is to attend such meetings in order to
know what is going on in your neighborhood and that it provides a way to get
to know your neighbors.
Council Member Vaughn stated that he hopes everyone keeps in mind what is
going on politically, regardless of who you support, remember that we all have
to be thankful for the sacrifice of so many that have preserved our rights. He
added that we all owe to one another as citizens, to look out for each other
and give thanks to those that provide and make sacrifices every day. He shard
that believes we all deserve to be free and that people paid the price for us to
do so.
C. City Manager
City Manager Pope shared information from the recent news article about the
increase in home values in the City of Trotwood.
In addition, he addressed Ms.Crews and reminded her that he has teams out

pace due to the weather. He acknowledged that he is aware of the significant
amount of people working on cars in her area and that some have received
legal notices and others have even gone to court.
City Manager Pope advised Ms. Orihood that he would talk with her about her
concern, which he believes can be resolved by working together.
