When called upon, proceed to the microphone, state your name and address, and proceed with your comments. You will have three (3) minutes to speak. Ms. JoAnne Orihood of 14 Oak Street reminded everyone that a year ago, the City discussed communication and one takeaway was that residents wanted more interaction with Council Members. Ms. Orihood announced that Mayor Page and At-Large Council Member Rhonda Finley will be attending the next meeting of the Olde Town Neighborhood Watch group, which covers two Wards. She added that she connected with another neighborhood watch group and they will also be attending the meeting.

City of Trotwood Page 12 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final December 2, 2024 C. City Manager City Manager Pope discussed the paper manufacturing facility proposed in the City of Dayton at the corner of Little Richmond Road and Olive Road, which is surrounded by the City of Trotwood. City Manager Pope stated that the City is opposed to the facility and shared his concerns with PFAS and other chemicals contaminating the water the City of Trotwood buys from the City of Dayton, noise and pollution, and also truck traffic. He explained that he issued a press release advising of the upcoming public meetings. He also sent letters to the Dayton Planning Commission, the mayor, and the city commissioners discussing the importance of communication on matters of mutual interest. City Manager Pope reiterated that he is not opposed to development, but it must be the right kind of development. Council Member Vaughn questioned if the development is asking for an exception/exclusion from what is normally approved, because now they are having a hearing to possibly approve the request, even though there has been no change from their initial request and the initial reason the City of Dayton said no. He added that there is a lot to be concerned about, both for the City of Dayton and the City of Trotwood and he encouraged everyone to be heard. Council Member Gales asked if the City of Trotwood would have any rights to do anything, and added that she is very opposed. City Manager Pope stated that his first priority is the health, safety, and welfare of Trotwood residents and that he is working with the law office to take whatever steps are necessary, but he is hoping better heads will prevail in this situation. He then asked everyone to do their own research on paper mills. City Manager Pope added that he found it interesting that although the City of Dayton previously filed a lawsuit against Wright-Patterson Air Force Base over water contamination, they are entertaining a paper mill, which is known to emit dangerous chemicals into the air and water, and that the City of Trotwood also has residents whose water is supplied by a well. He explained that normally these types of businesses are in rural areas and not around homes. City Manager Pope stated that this company has a packaging company in Hamilton, Ohio. Council Member Moore asked for the dates and times of the meetings. City Manager Pope stated that the community informational meeting is scheduled for Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at the Dayton Metro Library on Abbey Avenue; he added that this information is also on the City's website. Planning and Zoning Administrator Tyler Hauck shared that the Planning Commission's public hearing to consider lifting the ban on paper mills is scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, 2024 at 4:30 p.m. and that their decision will be a recommendation to the Dayton City Commission. City of Trotwood Page 13 City Council Meeting Minutes - Final December 2, 2024 D. Council Members Council Member Moore thanked Clerk Landis and Mayor Page for their thoughtfulness and wished everyone a safe and blessed holiday season. Council Member Gales mentioned the upcoming community gathering on December 7th, and commented that although it is a little early for her to think about the holidays, she wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Council Member Clark wished everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays. Council Member Vaughn shared his beliefs about Christmas and asked that we support one another and come together to fight for freedom, liberty, and equal justice for all. E. Mayor Mayor Page commented that this has been a wonderful year and that it doesn't get any better than Trotwood. She added that her first year as mayor has been very eye opening. She added that she came in to office with the attitude that she simply wants to serve and that is still her desire. Mayor Page asked everyone to be safe during the holidays and thanked all those who have helped her along the way. She ended by stating that she is excited to see everyone in 2025. XV.
