Goose Creek Dead – May 14, 2012

Let the obituary read that Goose Creek died May 14, 2012. Listen to File 10 & 11 for the official discussion.  The commission voted 2 – 0 to pull the zoning overlay application from the Rural Zoning Board. The video of the zoning board’s last meeting was posted last week (see the side bar).  Chris Day mentioned residents in the area calling and emailing him that they were against it. I am glad they did but it is complete BS that this was not known before. A few years ago the Preble County Chamber had 40 or 50 county people offer their views on economic development.  I took that survey; I told the interviewer that there were people in that area who were against development – Goose Creek, I remember him looking at me like I was from Mars. I relayed that story to Jane Marshall at the time. Goose Creek was turned down for two JRS grants after that meeting.

There was more, please review the audio as it was a 4 hour meeting and I don’t feel like typing anymore today.

They have invited the Board of County Commissioners, Economic Development Director Shawnda Combs, Matt Appenzeller, a representative from the Partnership and Kleingers & Associates.

Rules outlined in letter.

Letter signed by Matt Appenzeller and Manfred Schreyer.

Chris Day - Well it would have been nice if the Chamber had questions they would have contacted us prior to initiating a public forum. I guess at this point with the news that we did not receive the JRS grant and we have just discussed.. the commission taking a different role or look at this. I don't know that there is a whole lot to speak on other than what was in the press release.

Connie mentions last paragraph and "We will fight on." It didn't say we would fight on for Goose Creek. That is not the way people read it.

Preble County Fair Board meeting of May 16, 2012

A video of the May 16, 2012 Preble County Fair Board meeting is posted below. Anyone hoping to see an acceptance or movement on the offer made by Mary Bullen will find this meeting frustrating.  While the offer was made in November of 2011, it essentially remains at that very same point.  There was a comment alluding to “rash” decisions, at seven months I don’t think “rash” is a word I would use. Review the video, review the last couple videos and draw your own conclusion.

Register Herald letter to the Editor – May 9, 2012

Posted on by
Reply

I would like to thank the Register Herald for printing my letter to the editor in this week’s paper. There are a couple more good letters from concerned citizens about Goose Creek in the paper so get out and buy a copy. 

In order to combat the usual commission BS and deny tactics I am posting the letter and links to the corroborating evidence which shows that the current commission was than truthful with the citizens of Preble County in their response printed in the prior week's RH. I think it is worth noting that all three of the current commissioners were endorsed by the Preble County Republican Central Committee and all of the committee is up for re-election in 2014. This commission needs replaced and it is time that the Central Committee members come clean on where they stand on the issue.

_______________________________________________________________________

Register Herald letter to the Editor printed in May 9, 2012 paper:

I would like to address the deficiencies in the Preble County Commission response to being rejected a third time for JRS grant funding at Goose Creek.

The excuse that the project did not fall short because it wasn’t feasible is misleading at best. The project has finished last twice in two years and now has the stigma of having been rejected three times in less than ten years. Obviously, if more funds were available, more projects may be funded; it does not mean Goose Creek will ever be one of them.  Unless the primary source of funding is to be the Preble County taxpayer, it is reasonable to conclude the project will continue to be rejected under similar terms.

The Board of Preble County Commissioners response ignored their own audio record and meeting minutes. They know full well that on January 25, 2010, while in discussion with State Economic Development officials, the question of proximity to rail was raised in discussion on Goose Creek. Also covered at that meeting was the issue of high local income taxes being a source of a growing negative trend.  This commission was told that high salaried decision makers are moving companies to areas with lower income tax rates and rejecting locations that approached the two percent level.  The subject of imposing a 1% income tax on the Goose Creek area was raised as a means of paying for the project cost.  It was then noted that the local school district had a 1.75% income tax and was already close to the two percent threshold.  Property taxes can be abated, income taxes cannot.

The major stated deficiency given at the April 23, 2012 debriefing was lack of control of land rights. The JRS grant application was for a 200 acre site, of which the commission only has option on 30.29 acres and none of that fronts Rt. 127 or has rail. The commission owes another $423,000 on an option to buy those 30.29 acres of land and it is due July 9, 2012. State officials again noted the lack of rail at Goose Creek and that five of the six sites approved had rail and the other was in downtown Cleveland.  Rail is important and Goose Creek does not have it.

The commission also mentioned a stagnant housing market as an excuse. This commission raised the Conveyance Tax by one mill on August 26, 2009 and that is a commission- created drag on the real estate market.

In other words, there are indeed unique deficiencies at Goose Creek that have made it a three time rejected project. Those deficiencies have been explained to this commission multiple times over multiple JRS applications. 

The Commission response claimed “Economic Development and job creation has been, and will continue to be, the number one priority of the county commission.” They did not mention that on the morning of January 25, 2010, they voted to build a landfill leachate line to Lakengren instead of the Camden route that previous Commissions had planned and intended. The Camden route had frontage on Rt. 127 and railroad access. There is no economic development potential with the Lakengren route. On October 11, 2006 it was estimated that the county will be dealing with landfill leachate for 60 years. Long after most of us are gone the negative impact of this commission will continue to be felt.

HIT Foundation Consolidated Plan – Economic Development Update – Pork Fest Lawsuit

Posted on by
Reply

File 2 has the HIT Foundation representatives in for a presentation on the Consolidated Plan mentioned at the Monday meeting. Bill Hutton does most of the talking. Bob Stonecash cuts to the chase and takes issue with Goose Creek being the only thing mentioned under economic development and asks that it be broaden.  Bob is right that it needs to be broadened. Why it is a prevalent view throughout the county and not this plan is something this Commission needs to examine. Take some time and listen to the audio files.  Apparently, Shawnda Combs the Preble County Economic Development Director and Jeff Seifert the President of the Preble County Partnership headed up or were at least part of the committee that prepared the document. That should tell people what they have long suspected – Goose Creek has been the dominate focus. That negatively impacts other areas in the county that have already invested in infrastructure. In File 5 it was suggested that a person would not volunteer information unless it was asked for. I have no idea if that was the case but the result was Goose Creek being the only effort listed. Listen to the audio and draw your own conclusion.

I am thinking about the leachate case that begins again on May 7. If jobs and development are the main priority then that line should never have gone to Lakengren.There is a line that states what is of most benefit to Preble County.

I’ll also remind this commission that early in Shawnda’s employment there was a request made for a very expensive program that covered the very same info being requested by the HIT Foundation.  With both Shawnda and Jeff Seifert on a committee that information should not need to be asked for, it should have been volunteered. See also file 5.

File 3 is Shawnda Combs and an Economic Development Update. This was a very good presentation that contrasted with the HIT meeting.  It was however clear that she was still pushing Goose Creek. I will say this on the issue; both the Stateline and Camden could probably have the infrastructure needed for less than Goose Creek. That is the issue, one over looks tens of millions of dollars worth of development at 156A and Camden has rail. Goose Creek is farmland behind a truck stop with traffic issues.

Also mentioned was the May 17 meeting on TIF’s, JEDD’s and more. When first presented I took issue with the meeting as the first thing mentioned was it being held to bring other county ED officials up to speed. That has been corrected or at least better explained. However, if this event is as important as claimed (and it could be), it should be videotaped and put on YouTube to expand the possibility that more local officials can view it and refer to it in the future.  It seems short sighted to go to the time and expenses involved with holding this type of event and then allow the information to all vanish with the attendees walking out the door.  If Preble County is going to hold an ED event to bring people up to date then let’s be up to date, record the meeting and put it on the web.

Bill Hutton reports Shawnda Combs reluctant to commit to any specific items. Mentions master plan.

Mary Bullen reports that Shawnda was on a committee and did not participate very much at all and was not very helpful at getting information together in that area.

I've had similar comments made to me by others, most of whom wanted me to know what was going on but not mention their names.

Bill Hutton mentions that it is up the Commissioners and department of development as to how detailed the plan is. "For the public, the more detailed we can be the better." Agreed   

Commissioner Stonecash – ..my whole thing is that jobs cure an awful lot of this. Agreed  

Please listen to the file for a better understanding and to form your own opinion.

Kim Keller - lack of mention on community development coverage. Eaton is no longer a set-aside.

22 Minute mark  Mary Bullen – We would like to make it clear that they (Shawnda Combs and Jeff Seifert) were asked to lead a committee. Ok, so each group was supposed to lead their own committee to research different areas.

Commissioner Stonecash – The townships you are saying?

Mary Bullen – No, I mean Shawnda was part of she was a committee chair to lead the economic development information. Was given an example, a couple of examples of other communities.

Bill Hutton she was doing work barriers at that time.

Mary Bullen – Ok

Bill Hutton – It was clarified latter that we needed the economic development.

Comments by Chris Day on overall housing focus.

Mary Bullen – I would personally ask you, to give someone, whether it's Shawnda or Kim or somebody a deadline to get the information to us. So that they have to complete it within your specified time limit. Two weeks would be great.

Chris Day – We will come up with a strategy and a list of things as quickly as we can.

26.5 Minute mark   Commissioner Stonecash offers opinion to appoint Kim to be on that… I think we would be better off.

Shawnda asks if any commissioner will be in attendance for May 17 meeting. My question is this; given the importance of the subject matter and the probable time constraints of the officials invited to attend, why has there been no mention of videotaping it and putting it on YouTube? It could be viewed by more people at their leisure and increase the benefit of going to the time and expense of holding the meeting in the first place. It would also allow people to refer back to what was really said during the meeting for future reference.

Commissioner Stonecash – ..should we also have her get with Shawnda? I think we would like for you to get with Shawnda and get a statement as to what is going on. I mean we can't be specific in all instances but saying Goose Creek was the only project going is far from true.

Preble County Commissioners Discuss Press Release Response to Third Goose Creek Rejection by State

Posted on by
Reply

This was an almost four and a half house audio cd. Luckily a good bit could be skipped over.

File 2 & 4 are a two part discussion on what to include in a press release to the Register Herald that was due by noon that day. Shawnda Combs was credited with the original press release but it became a collaborative effort over the course of this discussion. The end result was a series of excuses and misleading statements that ignored the commission’s own audio record and official transcripts. The article that appeared in Wednesday’s Register Herald is essentially an attempt to cover up a poor project (Goose Creek) championed by three commissioners that have been in government to long. It failed to release a truthful account of the costs expected.  I recommend listening to the audio files and drawing your own conclusion. While there is verbal indication of backing off at Goose Creek it needs to be noted the press release that appeared in the Register Herald had a last paragraph that started with “We will fight on”.  Indicative of the Commission being less than truthful was that at the May 1, Rural Zoning Board meeting the commission had not pulled their request for rezoning of Goose Creek (see video). File 4 had Commissioner Stonecash claiming the land owner has been less than cooperative. Bob commented he is in favor of paying the option which has $423,000 due by July 9 but he also mentioned lengthening the option to 10 years. His statements were at odds with Connie's comments on commission agreement that no more General Fund money would be spent on the Goose Creek project. The commission blamed misinformation put out by others for the Commission’s inability to gain public support for a project rejected three times by the state.  The inability of this commission to articulate a convincing case for Goose Creek indicates they have a poor case, poor verbal skills or both. They have continually berated the ragtag opposition to the project. The opposition lacks anywhere near the resources of the county. This commission raised the conveyance tax by one mill to pay for an economic development director that is unable to change public opinion. If anything opposition to Goose Creek has greatly grown under her tenure. This commission needs replaced and that can start in November with the defeat of Chris Day. Misstatements and misrepresentations have characterized a Preble County Commission guilty of incompetent decisions. The taxpayers need a change of leadership.
