In the Matter of Update With ID Networks

Commissioners met with Doug Blenman with ID Networks to get an update with the CAD project. The discussion began about the status of the original 2024 CAD project contract and the factors contributing to project delays. Mr. Blenman explained that the initial phase of the project in 2024 focused on getting the general CAD system operational. While the original implementation timeline was approximately four months, several unforeseen issues delayed progress. Server preparation took significantly longer than anticipated, delaying implementation of the new servers. Additionally, obtaining and validating GIS data proved more complex than expected. The project team enhanced the mapping data beyond what was originally provided, and a system demonstration was completed in January 2026, including the ability to enter calls into the CAD system. Additional project requirements emerged during implementation, including the need to incorporate protection orders, warrants, and civil process information into the system. These requirements had not been identified during the initial project planning and required development over the past year to ensure all court-related information would be available in one location. Mr. Blenman stated that delays across multiple project components also affected the implementation of automated unit recommendations and dispatch functionality. Configuration of the GIS and CAD systems proved more complicated than anticipated, but the necessary setup was completed last month. Data conversion is nearing completion, and software installation and user deployment are expected to begin within the next two to three weeks. Commissioner Scherer shared concerns expressed by fire chiefs regarding delays in developing fire run cards. The request to begin run cards was made on January 21, with an expectation of completion by February; however, the information was not received until March, resulting in approximately a three-month delay. Doug reported that the final version of the run cards has now been completed. Commissioner Wippel asked how future system changes would be managed once implementation is complete. Mr. Blenman explained that ID Networks will not perform routine updates after project completion. Instead, authorized county personnel will receive login credentials to maintain and update the system. He also noted that Ohio code requirements and code creation presented additional unexpected delays. Much of the system has been customized specifically for Pickaway County, and some level of ongoing system adjustments should be expected. Sheriff Hafey noted that the new system will consolidate records into one location. Mr. Blenman stated that four data analysts have been dedicated to data conversion over the past 12 months. He also noted that some data from the previous Central Square system could not be validated or converted correctly. Commissioner Wippel asked Mr. Bennett if he had additional comments. Mr. Bennett stated that he had repeatedly been instructed to delay work and requested an opportunity for the fire chiefs to preview the system before implementation so they could prepare their agencies. Mr. Blenman responded that a system review is planned within the next few weeks, including a demonstration of the iPad application currently operating with the system. He reiterated that the goal remains to have Pickaway County fully operational by the end of the third quarter (August or September). Sheriff Hafey asked about the run card development process and communication between ID Networks, Central Square, and fire personnel. Discussion followed regarding incorrect data received from Central Square and revisions that were required as additional information became available. Robert Adkins, IT Director stated that information often lacked a central location during development, resulting in multiple revisions. Discussion then turned to project management and communication. Mr. Adkins noted that approximately 20% of the projects had been invoiced and asked who was working as project manager. Doug stated that he serves as project manager when available, while Helen has been acting as the CAD project manager. Mr. Blenman also confirmed that he will conduct training for new users. Mr. Adkins expressed concerns regarding communication, stating that he had difficulty receiving responses to questions and felt communication had primarily occurred through Captain Phil Relli. He noted that tasks originally expected to take days or weeks had extended into months and that the overall project has now lasted approximately two years. Mr. Blenman apologized for the communication concerns and stated that delays in completing the run cards were intended to ensure they function correctly before the system goes live. He added that changes and refinements will continue after implementation and that the county will be able to make future modifications once the system is turned over.

EMA Director, Tiffany Nash, manager of the 911 Center, stated that she would like to be notified immediately when issues arise rather than learning about them during later meetings. She also noted that her office had repeatedly asked how they could assist but had not received responses. Mr. Blenman agreed to ensure Ms. Nash is included in future project communications. Mr. Adkins asked what the largest remaining obstacle to implementation is. Mr. Blenman responded that there are no significant issues currently preventing implementation and reaffirmed that the system is expected to go live by August or September. Mr. Blenman concluded by stating that once a go-live date is selected, the county will proceed with implementation even if a final data conversion must be completed afterward. He committed to providing at least 24 hours' notice before the final conversion and indicated that performing multiple data conversions, if necessary, would not present a problem. Although some requested data additions are not typically included in similar projects, ID Networks agreed to incorporate them for Pickaway County. The project team reaffirmed its commitment to having the system live by the end of the third quarter, with users expected to begin operating the system immediately following training.

In the Matter of Analysis of Big Darby Creek Scenic River

Mr. Bob Gable, Heather Doherty, and Mike McNutt with Ohio Department of Natural Resources Scenic Rivers stopped in to talk about the Big & Little Darby Creeks Conservation Project. Mr. Gable began stating that as State and National Scenic Rivers, both Big & Little Darby Creeks are characterized by exceptional water quality and abundant aquatic life. They system is home to diverse aquatic species and offers outstanding recreational opportunities. In late 2024 the ODNR Division of Natural Area and Preserves initiated a two-phase conservation project for the Big & Little Darby Creek System to determine how to protect these at-risk streams. Darby Creek is home to 100 fish species, in which 5 are endangered, and 45 freshwater mussel species and 8 of those species are federally endangered or threatened. ODNR’s goal is to share the information it gathers and provide guidance to central Ohio communities with the goal of precenting declines and protecting this exceptional river system.

Percent of farmland lost and timeframe. 1-2.Goals and Objectives – List measurable outcomes. 1-3.Partnerships – Identify collaborating jurisdictions or organizations. 1-4.Public Engagement Plan – Describe outreach to landowners, farmers, and community. 1-5.Integration with Comprehensive or Regional Plans – Explain alignment with other planning efforts. 1.-1. Need for the Plan: Describe the farmland preservation or planning challenges addressed. Percent of farmland loss and timeframe. Pickaway County is located in the rapidly expanding Central Ohio region, just 29 miles south of downtown Columbus. Although regional growth has been anticipated for years, the pace and scale of change in Pickaway County shifted dramatically following the recent announcement that Anduril will establish one of the largest defense manufacturing operations in the world within the county. This, along with other major economic investments, has accelerated local growth beyond that of many neighboring counties. According to the USDA, over 13,000 acres of farmland were lost in the county between 2017 and 2022. This is about 4% of the total land area in the County. This downturn is relatively recent – prior to 2017, agricultural acreage was growing slightly in the county. Pickaway County has never had a comprehensive land use plan or coordinated growth strategy; these changes, however, make it more critical that the County adopt one. The County aims to capitalize on regional momentum by aligning new economic development opportunities with its agricultural economy and community values. While industry and employment trends have shifted significantly in recent years, agriculture remains both a major economic driver and a defining element of the county’s identity. To better understand the conditions in the county

and what can be done, the Pickaway Progress Partnership (P3) launched an Agricultural Study in 2025 to help define the future of agriculture in Pickaway County, to be completed in 2026. The study has already produced a draft list of recommendations aimed at addressing key challenges. These recommendations focus on: • Managing growth by directing development to designated economic opportunity areas while protecting rural character and quality of place. • Stewarding the land by conserving critical agricultural acreage, supporting long-term farming uses, and maintaining soil and water health to ensure future productivity. • Advancing prosperity by sustaining the viability of farming today and for future generations, maximizing existing resources and programs, and supporting strong local markets and community networks. Despite this investment agriculture, the County lacks a land use plan—an essential tool for implementing strategies associated with the major themes shown above. Without a unified growth framework, Pickaway County may struggle to leverage economic development occurring in the northern portion of the county or to coordinate the resources needed to preserve farmland and support agricultural operations meaningfully. The Land Use Grant from the Ohio Department of Agriculture would allow the County to begin applying what it has been learning during the Study and maximize work that has already been done. The grant would strengthen the County’s capacity to guide land use in a way that integrates economic development with agricultural preservation and supports the rural quality of life that residents value. 1-2. Goals and Objectives of the Land Use Plan 1. Build strong channels of cooperation between townships, municipalities, and the County, identifying opportunity areas and potential implementation actions in a collaborative way that addresses diverse needs. 2. Develop a clear future land use map and character framework that is aligned with local planning efforts. 3. Define key objectives for the preservation of agricultural land that consider private property rights and balancing economic development opportunities. 4. Identify areas where growth is appropriate in the county, where there are sufficient conditions to advance industrial and commercial development and higher-density housing to provide the jobs and housing to keep pace with anticipated growth. 5. Provide a streamlined list of implementation actions that may be taken by the county, landowners, and partners to advance agricultural preservation and maintain rural character traits throughout the county’s communities. 6. Identify and encourage land use strategies that can advance smart growth principles in the county, including but not limited to conservation subdivisions, property acquisition, agricultural zoning, the establishment of buffer areas, and others. 1-3. Partners and Consultants The County is partnering with Pickaway Progress Partnership (P3) to manage the ongoing Agricultural Study. P3 will also manage the land use plan in partnership with the County. While the County is the lead applicant, P3 will manage the consultant and will build the coalition, including townships, villages, and cities within the county, the Pickaway Soil and Water Conservation District, and other stakeholders. P3 is in a strategic position to partner with all of these groups closely and has already begun this important work. The land use plan will be completed with the assistance of Planning NEXT (PN). Planning NEXT is a national community planning consulting practice based in Columbus, Ohio. The firm has successfully led comprehensive plans for communities of all types for nearly three decades, including numerous plans that have garnered awards from National and State Chapters of the American Planning Association. PN has earned a very strong reputation throughout the country for its portfolio of countywide comprehensive plans, having completed more than 20 in the past five years alone. Of these, many have been in the Central Ohio Region, and many more have been in rural and agricultural counties.

PN is already working with the County on the Agricultural Study, which will be completed in in 2026. The scope of work for this Study is available in Attachment 6. If the County secures funding through this grant, the timeline of the Agricultural Study will be adjusted to align engagement events with key milestones in the land-use planning effort described in this scope of work (Attachment 3). For more information on the firm please consult our website (https://www.planning-next.com/) and see additional qualifications in Attachment 5. 1-4. Public Engagement Plan As noted, the public engagement in this land use plan will rely heavily on the work being done for the Agricultural Study (See Attachment 4-2 for a detailed scope of work). However, this scope of work for the land use plan includes several public engagement components. The Project Management and Communication Plan will identify the schedule for key stakeholder engagement and define a unified project messaging suite that will be used in all communications relating to the project. The Project Management and Communication Plan will be developed in the early stages of the project and will also establish a more defined set of goals and principles for the process itself. Staff will work with PN to identify a general timeline for the stakeholder meetings included in the scope below and other key touchpoints with County Commissioners, Township Trustees, and local officials as needed. Staff will also identify who will be invited to the stakeholder workshops with the help of PN. • The Agricultural Committee will be the base invitees for the stakeholder workshops identified in this scope of work. The Agricultural Committee was established in XX using the following methods – • The county, P3, and the Agricultural Committee will identify additional stakeholders for each of the meetings. Inclusion criteria include but are not limited to community members with contradictory viewpoints, landowners, committee members, elected officials, agribusiness professionals, or academic representatives. • The project may also include an online engagement opportunity that can reach a broader public. An interactive map portal would be used to engage community members and solicit comments on the draft future land use map. The Land Use Stakeholder Workshop is designed to test preliminary ideas for the plan in a charette- style engagement effort centered around concepts relating to planned growth and form-based concepts. This is the analytical round where what is learned from the Agricultural Study can be tested with the community, e.g., “If we heard you correctly...” A significant emphasis of this round will be on how land is used in the City. (“Where and how will we grow?”). High-quality photos and illustrations will be used to help convey land use, transportation, and other choices and their impact on the quality of place. The Online Stakeholder Engagement will confirm the implementation actions identified by the Planning Team and allow community members to highlight their priorities. This will be broadly available online to reach as many community members as possible. The Agricultural Committee will be instrumental in marketing the online engagement. 1-5. Integration With Comprehensive or Regional Plans The County will use the land use plan as a roadmap for growth, development, and conservation. The plan is not a legally binding document, but it can serve as a foundation for land development regulations, zoning ordinances, budgeting decisions, and more—all carefully coordinated with local policies and plans. Key to Step 2 in the Scope of Work is the identification and synthesis of existing planning guidance from regional and local, sub-County, planning work. A high-level map of existing land use, zoning (if applicable), and future land use (if applicable) will be the base for the land use analysis and ultimately the county-wide future land use map. The Planning Team will fill gaps in the county where land-use guidance does not exist and provide helpful data for communities, particularly townships that already have comprehensive plans. Townships are not compelled to update their respective plans or land use regulations, but may rely on constraints data mapping (like floodplains, steep slopes, and utility access) to make updates to plans or regulations in the future. Maintaining a centralized set of data and a clear, well-developed process for establishing land use direction can bolster local planning work without steamrolling it, preserving the unique land use guidance and planning tradition of each township or municipality. As noted, the county is within the fast-growing Central Ohio Region. The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning

Commission (MORPC) has developed several relevant plans, including the Central Ohio Regional Water Study, which has already been used in the Agricultural Study. This project will also rely heavily on data that is collected and curated by MORPC. Other state and regional plans will be identified as noted in Step 2 of the Scope of Work.

Attachment 2. Plan Adoption and Implementation

Narrative The land use plan is intended to be adopted by the Pickaway County Commissioners. The plan will include a detailed list of implementation options that address different goals that have or will be developed primarily through the Agricultural Study and the County’s Economic Development Plan. The Agricultural Study will provide guidance the is specifically focused on protecting agriculture, while this land use plan will identify ways to integrate the extensive work being completed around agriculture and positioning it within the county’s land use. By engaging townships, municipalities, and other partners throughout the process, the Project Team will refine implementation options, identifying only the highest-priority actions to help carefully guide momentum, funding, and staff time in the ensuing years. Currently, Pickaway County is primarily agricultural, with 88% of the land area being used for agricultural production in 2022 (USDA 2017-2011 Estimates). Pickaway County ranks high in the state for the number of acres of farmland, compared to many other agricultural counties; however, it does not rank as highly in the number of farms that are protected by ODA easements (only 5 easements covering about 620 acres of land). There is a significant opportunity to understand the barriers farmers in the county face when applying to these programs. The Agricultural Committee represents a significant social asset that can spread the word and represent a large cross-section of the county and ensure that the land use policy presents a clear path toward land use goals that are in alignment with existing work, like the ODA programs.

Attachment 3: Scope of Work

This scope of work focuses on land use, establishing a unified land-use map and associated recommendations. This is a component of the comprehensive plan, not the entire plan. To take advantage of the existing work and this opportunity from the State, the county commissioners will adopt this land use plan, with the option to move forward in the future with a complete Comprehensive Plan. The land use plan will integrate modern planning tools, including agricultural zoning approaches, conservation strategies, and smart-growth principles such as clustered development and growth boundaries, all informed by a well-defined framework and meaningful GIS data. The scope of work was developed with the following assumptions: 1. This project will leverage the planning work underway, including engagement and research conducted during the Agricultural Study and the Economic Development Plan. a. The Agricultural Study is being completed by PN and the project engagement will stretch to supplement engagement efforts, particularly public engagement events that are included in the Scope of Work. b. The County has already commenced this work and procured funding for the project. The budget for this Agricultural Study should be considered the County match, and far exceeds the required 10%. 2. The plan is not intended to interfere with or override local purview to set growth and development policy. Townships and municipalities in the County may use data, analysis, or recommendations from this planning effort. Representatives from these areas will be included in the planning process to ensure that recommendations in the plan are actionable and aligned with existing policies and goals at the local level. 3. The proposal is for a land use plan, not a comprehensive plan: a. The County has undertaken other planning efforts, including the Economic Development Plan and the ongoing Agricultural Study, that specifically target economic development and other key features often included in comprehensive plans. This scope of work includes tasks to complete a specific subsection of a

comprehensive plan – the land use plan. b. The grant will provide funds to support additional engagement, a bolstered agricultural and land use inventory, review, and inventory of county-wide zoning and land use planning, and the development of the first unified land use map and framework. These are all eligible items per the ODA grant and would provide significant benefits for the County. Below are the tasks recommended for executing the land use plan. They are organized into six components and include a list of associated deliverables. 1. Project Coordination (Project Initiation through Close) 1.1. Establish a project Management and Communication Plan: PN will develop a plan to engage stakeholders at two workshops. The communications plan will include timelines, messaging, and intended outcomes for all workshops and any public communication. Additionally, the management and communication plan will track participation, particularly the geographies represented by participants within the county, to ensure broad representation across all corners of Pickaway. The project team will build a strong list of stakeholders, starting with the Agricultural Committee. The Committee members were chosen by, and the committee is chaired by P3. The chair has worked in the industry with farmers for many years. P3 carefully selected Committee members throughout the whole county, representing most of the townships, and providing the opportunity for all townships and communities. The group has already managed communications, identified strengths and weaknesses, and directed policy recommendations for the study, and will be instrumental in identifying additional stakeholders and representing different areas of the County in the land use plan. 1.2. Maintain ongoing project coordination, including check-in meetings and invoicing: PN will schedule and lead biweekly coordination meetings and will provide monthly invoices and progress updates. Deliverables: 1. Management and Communications Plan 2. Biweekly coordination meetings 3. Monthly Progress Reports and Invoices 2. Review Existing Land Use Planning 2.1. Local Plan Review: PN will identify all local plans and zoning codes in Pickaway County and incorporate them into a set of generalized maps, illustrating where different regulations exist. This will include collecting zoning and future land use regulations where they exist throughout the County and standardizing them to illustrate county-wide regulations. The team will also use regional datasets to build an existing land use map, providing a clear picture of where the County is today and what the communities would like to see in the future. PN will identify how different zones or land uses are clustered in a brief memo and accompanying spreadsheet. 2.2. Regional Plan Review: The team will collect relevant policy direction and trends from the regional/state planning context (ODOT, OEPA water study, etc.). Where appropriate these plans may influence land use guidance. Deliverables: 1. Land Use Analysis Maps and Assumptions Memo (Existing Land Use, Zoning, and Future Land Use maps) 2. Regional Plan Memo 3. Analyze Existing Land Use (Month 1-2) 3.1. Identify spatial trends in land use: Using available County auditor and land cover data, PN will highlight specific opportunity areas throughout the county where there is contiguous productive agriculture, where there has been significant land cover change, and other relevant spatial trends. 3.2. Map relevant features that will inform a land use strategy: PN will map environmental constraints, service boundaries, soil quality, and other important spatial information to inform the future land use map. These are limited to data that is readily available to the public or the County. The features included will be identified with the stakeholder engagement that has already been conducted as part of the Agricultural Study, staff input, and PN expertise. Deliverables: 1. Land Use Trends map series

2. Key Features map series 4. Test Conceptual Land Use Direction (Month 3-6) 4.1. Summarize insights from the Agricultural Study: These insights will include the early findings that relate to land use. PN will synthesize the goals and policies developed during the Agriculture Study process to guide early iterations of the future land-use framework. These will be tested and refined with staff, the Agriculture Committee, and stakeholders. 4.2. Conduct a virtual staff workshop: This workshop will identify an approach to mapping and identifying/defining character areas and growth strategies. PN will provide the maps and assumptions developed in the land use analysis and develop key questions to guide the workshop. 4.3. Establish principles to identify growth and conservation areas: The Agriculture study will provide overall goals for the position of agriculture and development in the County. Using the additional land use analysis, the Team will be able to develop specific policy guidance to be included in the plan. Principles are developed based on the staff workshop and using community input from the Agriculture Study and the economic development plan. 4.4. Develop a draft future land use map and character descriptions. PN has helped communities across the country develop or refine future land use maps and policy. PN uses a character based approach to future land use planning. Character Areas are types of neighborhoods, districts, or corridors that share similar attributes in their form and function. Attributes may include the size and type of buildings and their relationship to the street; the surrounding street and block pattern; parking and access; as well as typical types of development or mix of development The attributes of each Character Area are described in a matrix with written descriptions and example images. Each Character Area includes one or more primary and secondary Development Types that occur within the area Development Types are site-specific building forms often associated with a particular land use. 4.5. Hold the land use stakeholder workshop: to identify changes that should be made to the drafted future land use map and the character types. Meeting preparation and summary completed by PN. Deliverables: 1. Staff Workshop materials, attendance and facilitation, Summary Memo 2. Draft Future Land Use Map 3. Stakeholder Workshop materials, attendance and facilitation, Summary Memo 5. Refine and Develop the Land Use Strategy (Month 7-12) 5.1.Finalize the future land use map: combining feedback from staff and stakeholders. 5.2. Outline implementable actions (projects, policies, programs): Implementation is the point of planning. To get there, it takes envisioning what is possible, engaging at key stakeholders and the public, analyzing previous success, affirming direction, and developing a realistic plan with clear implementation steps. Implementation steps will be based on the land use map and corresponding character descriptions as well as research conducted throughout the process. Recommendations may include actions such as undertaking a comprehensive planning process or establishing a public- private partnership to create a revolving fund for land acquisition or the purchase of development rights. These are options the County may or may not pursue in the future. Staff and stakeholder input is critical to identifying implementation actions that are feasible and address the highest- priority goals. 5.3. Engage Stakeholders Virtually: This task will provide stakeholders and the public to respond to a draft of the implementation actions to be included in the final plan. Engagement will take the form of an online questionnaire that prompts community members to rank their top priority actions, helping the Project Team refine the actions included in the final plan. 5.4. Deliver a complete draft document (Word Document). PN anticipates the land use plan to include Introduction (including a brief engagement summary), Goals and Policies, Future Land Use Map, Character Area Framework, and the Implementation Matrix. 5.5. Provide the final document: (this includes up to two rounds of staff comments and consultant edits). Once the plan is adopted, PN will provide a PDF containing separate technical appendices, relevant data collected throughout the process, GIS map files, and other source files. Deliverables: 1. Final Future Land Use Map 2. Draft Implementation Matrix 3. Online Survey or Alternative Engagement Activity 4. Draft Land Use Plan 5. Land Use Plan, Adoption Draft

Timeline The process has been designed to be completed within twelve months from the date of authorization, but the schedule may be adjusted as part of the scoping process in consultation with Staff.

In the Matter of Land Use Plan with Jamie Greene

Jamie Greene with Planning Next Group, met with the Commissioners today wanting to focus on the Land Use Plan or the Grant that was received. He felt that after speaking with the County Administrator a couple weeks ago he felt like it would be good time to check in with the commissioners. He wanted to report on the Ag study that has been active. The committee met last week, and we had a number of farmers. Had almost a 100% of the group. Many of them came directly from the field. Where we are with them right now, we have drafted a set of projects, policies and programs. Have gotten a lot of good feedback. Mr. Greene said what he really wanted to check in about was with the Land Use Study. The grant has some specific objectives for it. They want to be map detailed. He said that there is some great geographic data that we have access to. They want us to be documenting the use, the natural features, what is used as agriculture. Also, where development pressures exist. They want it to be clear that there is not just mapping involved. Public engagement is a critical part. They don’t want this to be just technical study; they want the engagement. They are familiar with some concerns at a county level. What they shared with the ag committee a little about what the land use plan is. Wanted to be very clear about what it is not. It is not zoning, not a comprehensive plan, also not rigid. Want to be clear that the Land Use Plan is not an incentive for growth. This is a plan that takes stock of the agricultural, the open spaces, but also tries to identify where growth might be. The first task is to take stock of what already exists and to see if that can be knitted together. The Land Use Plan is intended to be a guide to make good decisions. Particularly useful when might be looking for state support for infrastructure or other grants. Mr. Greene wants to make sure to facilitate this in a way that sets the right things to get the right perspective of what it is and what it isn’t for folks. Meant to be a resource for them.

In the Matter of Sue Moore Ashville Energy Discussion

Sue Moore and Dave Horning met with the Commissioners to discuss the Ashville Energy Center that will be built with the Data Center that will potentially be located on SR 752. Which is known as the Dresbach property. Ms. Moore has been a lifelong Pickaway County Resident, and a 35-year property owner and resident of the Ashville Area that lives on Marcy Road in Madison Township. Ms. Moore states that she has a strong objection to the Power Plant as well as many residents feel the same. Ms. Moore is here asking the Pickaway County Commissioners to pass a resolution of non-support for the PowerConnex Ashville Energy Center. It is a proposed 800-megawatt natural gas power generation facility. Ms. Moore stated that the power plant will feature 74 turbines to run the natural gas. A referendum has been submitted in which needed 498 signatures from the village, and on May 5, 2026, they turned in a new petition which had 875 signatures. With the number of signatures that were received gives an idea of how the people of Ashville feel about this. Ms. Moore also spoke about the power resting with the Ohio Power Siting Board. They must approve anything with power generation. The status of the referendum signatures lies at the Village of Ashville Office. They have until this coming Friday, which will be May 15th, to turn this petition over to the Board of Elections to certify the signatures and then it goes on the ballet in November. Ms. Moore states that gas fired power plant is what their objection is. She said PowerConnex is so focused on gas because it is far, far less expensive to power this with natural gas. They are against natural gas because of all the bad things natural gas spews out through emission stacks. Ms. Moore went on to say that the data center came in hard and came in fast and they don’t give the opportunity for village people to explore. They need to know what they are doing to the land, and to the people. She believes that elected officials carry more weight. Harrison Township has already submitted a letter in opposition to it, and the Village of South Bloomfield has also sent a letter of opposition. Mr. Horning states the Ohio Power Siting Board will be holding public hearings for people to come up and talk and will be having open houses at Teays Valley. The important consideration is that the Ohio Power Siting Board wants to know what the noise impact is going to be, and what the pollution impact is going to be. He states the problem is people don’t have the information about how much pollution is going to be generated. He thinks the public needs to know, Mr. Horning believes that all requirements of the Ohio Power Siting Board should be done and made publicly available before any open houses. Mr. Horning said that they have a general timeline without specific dates for the public hearings. Mr. Horning then wanted to discuss that the county people need help, and have someone represent them. He is here today to recommend that Pickaway County hire an attorney to help represent the villages when the big developers come to town. He said that the experts that we have on our village council are accomplished people, but not economic development experts. The community doesn’t know what to ask for. Lastly, Ms. Moore said they are asking the County Commissioners to make a statement that they are not in favor of the gas fired turbine driven electric generation on that site.

In the Matter of Pickaway WORKS Update with Chuck Reisinger

Chuck Reisinger, Pickaway WORKS, met with the Commissioners to provide an update. Mr. Reisinger began by saying that good things are happening. The focus is currently about what we are doing in the community and as far as career tech as far as a lot of our kids get the skills they need. Mr. Reisinger provided data relating to the Career Readiness for Pickaway County Students. Currently 20 seniors are enrolled in the Senior Construction Pilot Program partnership with Pickaway-Ross CTC. They are responsible for their own transportation to PTCTC. Fourteen (14) of the students have received 1 industry credential, Ten (10) students have received 2 industry credentials, Six (6) students have received 3 industry credentials, and Four (4) students are actively working with Pickaway WORKS to find an apprenticeship opportunity. Mr. Reisinger explained that the State of Ohio is strongly advocating work-based learning. Pickaway WORKS is partnering

with schools to find companies that will assist. The State has made it possible to employ 16/17-year-olds. Work-based learning is a significant portion of each school’s annual report card. On June 5, 2026, there will be an employer-focused meeting to brainstorm ways to introduce students to local industries. Teays Valley now has an on-site electrical program for students that Eastland-Fairfield CTS employs the teacher. Mr. Reisinger said that there has been ongoing conversation with Anduril concerning student training.

In the Matter of CDC of Ohio for Community Development Block Grant

Thomas Perry, CDC of Ohio met with the Commissioners to discuss the Pickaway County 2026 CDBG Community Development Program Project Proposal Forms that have been submitted to the CDIS process. We got an estimate for McCarty Associates LLC for the Village of Tarlton. The final allocation number is going to be about $228,700.00, and our allocation is $222,400.00. So, the Village of Tarlton would owe $6,300.00. This is to essentially to stabilize Town Hall Structure. Then the NRG would be $200,380.00 for cosmetic upgrades. Hoping to use that allocation to stabilize the building. We received one from Village of Darbyville for the sidewalks to the Dollar General for $128,130.00. There have been some issues with their allocation project in 2024. I sent out the quotes for them and never got anything back for them. The Engineer doesn’t seem to be very responsive there, and I think they would be a good candidate for 2028. Then received a proposal from Circleville Township for Logan Elm Park. The Logan Elm Park is to keep existing playground, but to put rubber down to replace mulch. Mr. Perry states that he believes that Darbyville and Circleville Township would be good candidates for 2028. He says that this is the Village of Tarlton’s last year eligible with their income surveys. They had gone from door to door to get people to tell them what their income was, and that information used for the Harrison Street project that will expire this year. If they want to be eligible again, they will have to go door to door. There has been a lot of participation there. In addition to stabilizing the town hall, there will be resurfacing Tarlton Road and Redding Street, culvert repairs on Tarlton Road, Main Street storm improvements, and sidewalk on Harrison Street. In addition to the Neighborhood Revitalization Grant in Tarlton, Mr. Perry’s recommendation is that Pickaway County spend its CDBG Allocation in the Village of Tarlton as well since they have identified priority projects with the help of a responsive architect and engineer, along with the fact this is the last year they are eligible for CDBG infrastructure funding without redoing a village wide income survey.

In the Matter of Discussion with City Of Circleville Mayor Blanton

Mayor Michelle Blanton met with the Commissioners, and Kelly Kight from the Pickaway County Building Department. Ms. Blanton wanted to ask what the process looks like to get a Certificate of Appropriateness. She wants to make sure that everyone is communicating the same process with the business owners. She said that she is responsible for the policy and making sure that it is executed properly and would like to be under the same understanding of what that process is and what the policy is. So, then she can respond to constitutes that come to talk to ask questions. Mrs. Blanton states that a situation came up where a local business that didn’t make it over to the City Administration Building to get the sign permit went to the Pickaway County Building Department for a permit that they thought was all that was needed and that they were finished. Businesses located in the downtown Historic District must have a Certificate of Appropriateness for an exterior sign, and the business outside of the Historic District does not need a Certificate of Appropriateness. There are extra steps that need to be taken with the businesses in the downtown Historic District. All changes in the Historic District must be approved by the Historic District Review Board. Mrs. Blanton stated that the City of Circleville now has a Code Enforcement Officer that has been hired and has been going out and making sure that everyone is abiding by the codes. Letters have been sent to multiple businesses that have not gone through the proper procedure of getting the Certificate of Appropriateness. Mr. Kight said that there can be an easy fix from the Pickaway County Building Department. The Pickaway County Building Department can make sure that the business has the Certificate of Appropriateness for the Historic District before they will issue a building permit. Commissioner Henson mentioned that maybe they may want to make Certificate of Appropriateness be city wide and not just for the Historic District. Mr. Kight then said that normally with a zoning board a COA is used for citywide type of document. If the document could be changed to citywide and not for just Historic District it can be taken care of that way as well. Ms. Blanton is going to speak with City Planner about a possible change of the Certificate of Appropriateness document.

Each political subdivision with a police or sheriff’s department that employs volunteer peace officers will be made a member of the Fund and each Fund member must establish a “Volunteer Peace Officers’ Dependents Fund Board” to administer claims for the benefits from the Fund and will only meet to objectively verify eligibly that files for assistance. (This is not a county-wide board as each political subdivision with a policing agency must establish its own board.)

One of the five elected board members must be identified as chairperson and another as the secretary by the members of the board.

Board members must be named by April 22nd, and initial terms last one year. Each board’s secretary must submit all of the following information to the Ohio Department of Commerce, which has been tasked with administering this fund: name and address of board members, names of the board’s chairperson and secretary, and a certificate indicating the current assessed property valuation of the Fund member.

Each Fund member pays an initial premium of $300–$500, which is based on the member’s assessed property valuation (ORC 143.06). Additional premiums may be required. The benefit amounts are (1) $1,000 award to a surviving spouse, plus $300/month; (2) $125/month to the parent or guardian of dependent children; (3) $300/month for disabled volunteer peace officers.

Sheriff Matthew Hafey and Brad Washburn, County Auditor, have agreed to be appointed by the commissioners to the board. Commissioner Gary Scherer offered the motion, seconded by Commissioner Harold Henson, to appoint the following members:

On September 23rd, 2026, at 10:15am I arrived to the Circleville Municipal Court for designated Dangerous Dog Owner, Chip Gillian’s Hearing due to him not being in compliance. His dog, Milo, was designated in June of 2026. He has since received multiple continuances. Today Chip continues to not be in compliance with liability insurance and registered his Dangerous Dog. Keith Brewster Assistant Law Director gave Chip 6 more weeks to comply and obtain liability insurance and a Dangerous Dog tag. Keith also stated he is going to drop original charges for failing to register and failing to confine but still charge him for dangerous dog act. Keith then stated that my first set of charges I filed due to Chip not being in compliance have not been charged/dismissed, etc. Yet so the second set of charges I filed for him not being in compliance after 30 more days cannot be charged.

In the Matter of Farmland Preservation Program Overview

Amanda Bennett and Kirk Hines of the Ohio Department of Agriculture met with the Commissioners to provide an overview of the Farmland Preservation Program. Ms. Bennett explained that the program’s purpose is to preserve Ohio farmland for agricultural production. She discussed available Land Use Planning Grants, their purposes, and eligibility requirements. Two types of plans are supported: a Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which guides a community’s future development by outlining its vision, goals, and policies for land use, infrastructure, and public facilities; and a Farmland Preservation Plan, a locally adopted policy document that establishes a community’s vision, goals, and strategies for protecting agricultural land from conversion to non-farm uses. Pickaway County received the Comprehensive Land Use Plan Grant. Ms. Bennett also reviewed farmland protection tools available through agricultural security areas. These areas benefit farmers by protecting against non-agricultural development, establishing a critical mass of land to help keep farming viable, and providing possible tax benefits. They also promote agricultural retention by creating designated areas in which agriculture is encouraged and protected. One or more landowners with at least 500 acres of contiguous farmland may request enrollment for a 10-year period from the boards of county commissioners and township trustees. Ms. Bennett further explained the Local Agricultural Easement Purchase Program, Agricultural Easement Donation Program, and Beginning Farmer Tax Credit Program. Pickaway County currently has five agricultural easements, all purchased through the Local Agricultural Easement Purchase Program. Four easements are located in Walnut Township and total 370 acres, and one easement is located in Pickaway Township and totals 232 acres.

In the Matter of Pickaway Addiction Action Coalition

Ms. Metzger stated that PAAC is requesting $165,000.00 from the Commissioners to support prevention initiatives designed to strengthen substance-use prevention, promote mental wellness, reduce access to medications, support student well-being, and create healthier school environments throughout Pickaway County. PAAC’s current outreach efforts focus on engaging parents and youth at critical developmental stages when exposure to peer pressure, social media, and substance-use risks may increase. During the 2026–2027 school year, PAAC provided approximately 732 second-grade students across all four Pickaway County public school districts and one private school with an Operation Parent resource book. PAAC also plans to expand this

prevention education effort to incoming sixth-grade students by mailing the middle/high school edition of Operation Parent directly to their households for the 2027–2028 and 2028–2029 school years. The guide addresses topics relevant to adolescents and their families, including social media, anxiety, depression, vaping, alcohol, drugs, and gaming. PAAC’s second prevention strategy will provide sophomore students from public and private schools throughout Pickaway County with a countywide educational speaker event and youth rally focused on mental wellness, coping skills, resilience, and help-seeking behaviors. Ms. Metzger also discussed additional areas the requested funds would support, including Medication Safety and Prevention, Substance-Free School Environment Signage, Branding Revamp, Peer Recovery Mentorship Programming, and Community Wellness Outreach.

Scott and Lisa Barr met with the Commissioners regarding the Grid Growth East Transmission Project. Mr. Barr expressed concerns about the project’s potential effects on farms and family-owned land, homes and property values, private wells and groundwater, drainage systems, streams, wetlands, wildlife, and the rural character of Pickaway and Fairfield counties. He stated that the proposed project includes 765-kilovolt transmission lines supported by towers approximately 175 feet tall. Proposed routes extend through Pickaway and Fairfield counties. Mr. Barr reported that residents received an initial mailer in early August and more specific information several weeks later. Mr. Barr noted that the project is part of a 13-state initiative reportedly under development for four years, while affected residents learned of it approximately two months ago. He emphasized the importance of action by local governments and requested that the Commissioners and Township Trustees take a formal position regarding the project.

Mr. Barr stated that individuals on or near a proposed route have until October 15 to submit written comments, after which the company will begin determining the final route. He expressed concern that the timeframe is insufficient to notify affected landowners. Mr. Barr requested that the Commissioners adopt a resolution establishing higher standards and strict expectations for the company’s conduct. He stated that proactive action by the Commissioners and township trustees could improve efforts to stop the project and that existing infrastructure and technology may offer alternatives to establishing a permanent easement through farmland and residential areas.
