Welcome Some exciting changes are headed to the Westerville Community Recreation Guide this year and next. Midsummer, residents will receive a bonus guide between the spring and fall issue. This special edition will have more content and a few new classes and programs to consider with the grand re-opening of the Westerville Community Center.

In 2021, this publication will be appearing in your mailbox on a bi-monthly (every other month) basis. Because residents will receive two more publications each year directly from the City, we will be discontinuing the “City Reporter” pages in the Westerville Magazine, which is published by CityScene Media. Westerville Magazine will remain in production

by CityScene.

Around city Westerville Helps

Seeks to Bridge the Gap

The City of Westerville has expanded a financial assistance program that has long existed in Parks & Recreation for reduced or waived program fees to other public services, including utility bills, sidewalk maintenance and home improvements. Westerville Helps will now house all financial assistance opportunities for residents in need.

Residents who are located inside city limits and meet certain household income criteria may apply for one of several programs to help manage financial hardship.

Westerville Helps was developed to reinvest some funding back into the community for public aid in certain categories.

PARKS & RECREATION An assistance program has been in place for reduced or waived fees with Parks & Recreation programming since the 1980s. Managed by the Westerville Parks Foundation, eligible uses of financial assistance include registration fees, daily passes, classes and recreation facility passes.

The Foundation raises funds annually (primarily through the Bunny Hop 5K) to support the program, which is available to residents via an application process. In this category, Federal Poverty Income Guidelines for the National School Lunch Program determine eligibility.

UTILITY BILLING This part of the Westerville Helps is entirely unique, because it is based on the generosity of the community.

The source of funding in this category is generated by a $1 opt-in donation elected by existing customers.

The City bills an average of 17,200 accounts each month. Of these, 80 accounts reach the shut-off point each month – which means no payment has been received for 60 days.

The Utility Billing office does not shut off utilities in extreme winter weather conditions (below 32 degrees) and will make payment arrangements for any customer – preferably prior to shut-off day. Westerville Helps offers another option to residents who may be unable to make the electric portion of their utility payment.

The program offers eligible and approved residents a maximum $500 credit per year, which can be used at one time or over several months. Residents must meet the Federal Poverty Guidelines for the National School Lunch Program to apply.

SIDEWALK MAINTENANCE One of two programs offered for home maintenance and improvement aid, Westerville Helps provides a category to assist with public sidewalk repairs.

Property owners are required to maintain the sidewalk abutting their property. While many municipal programs provide 30-days notice to homeowners to make repairs, Westerville’s program has been more accommodating.

As an option, a homeowner may choose to have the City make the repairs and provide reimbursement upon receipt of an invoice, or may make repayment over a five-year period with no interest (as a property tax assessment).

The cost associated with making sidewalks ADAcompliant is borne by the City. With the passage of the 2% income tax levy and recognizing the significant loss of street tree canopy, the City made another sidewalk policy revision by accepting the financial responsibility of making repairs to any sidewalks damaged by tree roots beginning in 2009. In 2018, Westerville City Council agreed to make repairs/replace all sidewalks at the end of the current program cycle – accelerated and scheduled to occur in 2021.

Until that time, Westerville Helps will provide a credit to eligible property owners of up to 50% of the sidewalk replacement costs up to a maximum of $1,500. See eligibility requirements in the table on the next page.

HOME IMPROVEMENTS Aging and unkempt homes, particularly those owned by individuals who are unable to maintain their properties due to physical, financial or other hardships, are common complaints received by the Code Enforcement division. In the past, staff has worked with a variety of nonprofit organizations, family members, churches and more to help guide homeowners to resources after code complaints. This program aims to address problems to the exterior of homes before reaching enforcement processes.

Eligible property owners would be able to receive reimbursement of renovation expenses up to 50% of a $10,000 exterior home remodeling project (maximum reimbursement is $5,000). Qualifying reimbursements include windows, doors, porch and/or patio remodeling and construction, siding, landscaping, lighting, handicap ramps, and exterior painting.

WFD LEADS THE WAY WITH PEDIATRIC CPAP

The Westerville Division of Fire (WFD) has partnered with Nationwide Children’s Hospital to equip all medic vehicles with pediatric CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) equipment. WFD is among the first emergency medical service (EMS) providers to carry the equipment full-time to treat infants and children in respiratory distress, helping avoid the invasive procedure of intubation* with better long-term outcomes.

The custom device was designed by WFD medics and emergency medical specialists experienced in helping the youngest patients overcome breathing obstructions and/or facilitate rest from work of breathing (caused by a medical issue). Further, medics worked with manufacturers to develop a piece of tubing that facilitates the airflow needed for small patients.

“We want to use CPAP en route to the hospital instead of intubation when possible,” said Frank Orth, M.D., WFD’s Medical Director. “Intubation is an invasive procedure, and the goal is to avoid having to admit these children for long-term health care if we can eliminate work of breathing through CPAP. What we see in CPAP use is that it helps us prevent further deterioration and the difficulty of weaning off ventilation if intubated.”

“The innovation is in the design and retro-fitting of equipment to work for this purpose. But it doesn’t exist yet as an entire kit and we’re eager to share our success with manufacturers so that EMS providers everywhere have access,” said Chief Miller.

Westerville and National Children’s Hosptial plan to monitor results and future cases to study the intervention of patients who start on CPAP and continue treatment in the emergency department. Further, WFD plans to offer demonstrations and gather Central Ohio-area departments interested in implementing the strategy.

“This is a good opportunity to capture some of the good work and start the momentum to learn in the field,” said Dr. Orth. “Other departments are right behind us on this because it makes sense.”

Nationwide Children’s Hospital joined WFD firefighter/ medics at the Tuesday, January 21 Westerville City Council meeting to discuss the program. Throughout the year, WFD medics and NCH physicians and educators will present the kit and procedure to professional audiences.

CPAP in adults is a standard intervention for emergency care. WFD was among the first in the state to carry adult CPAP equipment.

“We’re excited to be one of the pioneers in this and know it will have a major impact in EMS,” said Fire Chief Brian Miller.

“Westerville Fire was in front of this for use in adults, and pediatric CPAP is now part of our protocol if we have a child in respiratory distress.”

Part of the innovation will be monitoring the data to push for the manufacturing of a full kit for pediatric use, says Chief Miller. The pediatric kits include about $100 in equipment (tubes, ports, masks, depending on size); four kits have been assembled for each of the medics responding to medical emergencies in and around Westerville.

WESTERVILLE DIVISION OF FIRE WELCOMES

NEW DEPUTY CHIEFS Westerville recently welcomed two new Deputy Chiefs to the Westerville Division of Fire (WFD). With a few months under their belts, Deputy Chiefs Mindy Gabriel and George Sorge are reflecting on what they’ve learned and what they’re looking to accomplish.

A 17-year veteran of the fire service, Deputy Chief Gabriel is excited to make her mark in an organization that puts the wellbeing of residents first.

“I have loved meeting all the people, both in the City and the Fire Division. There are so many talented people here who are committed to the residents of Westerville,” she said.

With a proven track record of developing innovative programs for the evolving fire-based EMS, Chief Gabriel is focusing on providing the men and women of WFD with the tools they need to be a success.

DEPUTY CHIEF MINDY GABRIEL

“I want to increase training opportunities and make sure we are best utilizing documentation software to provide data that drives our training and departmental focus,” she said. “We’ll also explore new equipment options in cardiac monitoring and continue to invest in the growth and development of our skilled firefighter/paramedics.”

Deputy Chief George Sorge is overseeing fire and rescue operations in the City. He brings 23 years of fire service to his position.

“We’re going to continue to protect the residents, visitors, business owners- anyone who lives, works and plays in the City of Westerville and Blendon Township — with cutting-edge fire protection and emergency medical services.”

Deputy Chief Sorge has a heart for teaching and developing the talent of firefighters/ paramedics. A state of Ohio Fire Instructor, he prioritizes training and education.

DEPUTY CHIEF GEORGE SORGE

“I’ve developed a number of training programs on topics like high-rise firefighting, firefighter self-rescue and multi-rescue company drills,” said Chief Sorge. “Westerville’s firefighters/ paramedics are committed to continual education.”

Welcomes New Manager Meet Brian Gorenflo. Brian is an IT-sort of guy.

Information Technology. As-in taking apart computers at a young age. As-in always recruited to fix family and friend’s computers and devices. As-in excited to help manage what the City sees as another municipal utility: the WeConnect data center and fiber network.

WHAT LED YOU TO THIS INTEREST/PROFESSION? I have always been fascinated by technology. I enjoyed taking apart VCR’s, cassette players, old computers, etc. I wanted to see how electronics were put together and try to repair them. Of course, as always, you have plenty of left over screws when you put them back together.

My grandfather was a radio tech in the Army and had a workshop in the attic where he would repair old transistor and vacuum radios. My father has always been a tinkerer as well and interested in technology. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. I never saw myself making a career out of it, but my interest and talent led me in this direction. I wake up every morning and enjoy what I do; there is never a dull moment.

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE A DATA CENTER? A data center is a “secure” building built with redundancy at its core to ensure uptime and reliability. It is redundant in power, internet, cooling, building access and fire suppression to protect the data it houses. Since it is built to be accessible and reliable 24/7, it is a great place to colocate a business server and network equipment for continuous uptime as well. Think of a data center as an upscale “condo” for servers and computer equipment.

We provide power, air conditioning, clean air and comfortable living quarters for that type of equipment.

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE WHAT YOU DO? On a small level, I manage the day-to-day operations and business development for a 16,000-square-foot community data center that is e-connected to miles of fiber that runs throughout the City. Many office buildings within Westerville are already connected, and we can offer fiber internet at an attractive rate for businesses of all sizes, including small and mid-sized organizations and companies. My job is to share the unique advantage businesses have here that is not available anywhere else in the United States.

10

CITIES DON’T OFTEN OPERATE IN THIS SPACE. DID WESTERVILLE’S ACTION HERE AS THE FIRST COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE MUNICIPAL DATA CENTER OWNER AND OPERATOR IN THE NATION ATTRACT YOU TO THIS POSITION? We recently built a new home in Westerville and love the community. I have always been intrigued what the benefits of true, municipally managed data centers could offer. Now I’m able to be directly involved, firsthand, along with many others to help foster the growth and lay out a strategic roadmap for the future success of this enterprise.

WHY ARE DATA CENTERS IMPORTANT FOR BUSINESS? Most businesses rely on having good internet connectivity and access to their files and applications on a constant basis. Data centers offer a highly reliable level of service. Many compliance guidelines currently recommend moving your data to the “cloud.” A data center is the hub of the “cloud,” where you have the option to fully move your data to the “cloud” or to move your “business-critical” applications and hardware into a rack where you have physical access. WeConnect offers both options and better yet, we can customize a business need to lead it in the right direction for safe, compliant protection.

WHAT ROLE COULD A DATA CENTER HAVE AS A RESIDENTIAL AMENITY? WeConnect is the data center and fiber network, which ultimately could be the backbone to enable a highspeed internet offering to residents. In some other cities across the U.S., this is treated like another utility, and Westerville already operates in that space. While we’re not there yet, this could someday be a reality. The possibilities are endless.

SO WHAT’S IT LIKE BEING THE IT GUY IN THE FAMILY? I am the “extended” family IT guy. I enjoy helping friends and family with their technology and simplifying the complexity to make it easier to use and understand. It hasn’t been so much computers lately as it has been installing “smart home” devices and configuring them to work the way they are advertised.

Join WPD: DIVISION OF POLICE

The Time is Now

The Westerville Division of Police (WPD) is recruiting men and women to join the department, with testing available now through March 11, 2020. With some of WPD’s most tenured officers nearing retirement and new leadership, WPD is seeking the next generation of men and women who will serve our motto of “Being There When Needed.”

WHAT MAKES WPD SPECIAL? Training. WPD’s organizational philosophy is high-visibility, total-resource policing. There are many opportunities for advancement within the department, including patrol, K-9, investigations, school resource officers, crime prevention, joint tactical team members and task force positions. Training and professional development are priorities at WPD. The more advanced our agency, the better we can serve the community we serve.

Diversity. We value diversity in our agency and know our differences – from our beliefs to our backgrounds – make us a better organization. Westerville is genuinely a welcoming community and it’s growing. WPD wants its officers to have full, enriching careers and be part of the fabric that makes up its vibrant community.

Leadership. Specifically, WPD is “Westerville First.” Under the leadership of Chief Charles Chandler, WPD stays focused on Westerville and its needs, issues and trends. That has involved strategic decision making that centers around professional development and prioritizing work that enhances public safety at home. Find out more at www.westerville.org/police.

HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? Whether you’re already certified in law enforcement or you know someone who may be interested in a law enforcement career, WPD has programs for more than one stage of life:

q For students beginning at age 14, WPD offers a one-week Youth Police Academy in the summer.

q

After students complete that program, they can enroll in the Westerville Youth Explorers program.

This is a pre-professional program for young adults to gain real law enforcement experience and exposure to help guide a potential career choice.

Westerville Division of Police K9 Fiji retired in January after seven years of service. The 9-year-old Belgian Malinois has transitioned to retirement in the home of Sgt. Bryan Schwartz, her partner since 2013.

Schwartz was 19-years into his career in law enforcement when he and Fiji became partners. With Schwartz’s promotion to a patrol management position, the team completed their transition on Saturday, January 11.

Fiji worked as a specialist in the detection of narcotics, with skills in tracking, area and article searches, criminal apprehension, and handler protection. She was called for service nearly 1,200 times in her career, resulting in the seizure and investigation of more than $2 million in illegal narcotics and U.S. currency related to narcotic investigations.

Fiji and Schwartz were an award-winning team. Last August, they won first place in the Rastin Challenge competition for firefighters, law enforcement officers and K9 teams in

12

Mount Vernon, Ohio. The duo also earned medals (10 gold, four silver and five bronze to be exact) at competitions throughout the state and region. Fiji earned a life-saving medal and two exceptional duty medals at WPD. “Fiji always took her work seriously, and I’m really proud of her,” says Officer Schwartz. “I feel like we’ve done well by WPD’s long tradition of excellence in the K9 program. She has been unique in the program due to the fact that she is a female police K9. Typically, you see male working dogs in this job.

She is very energetic and loves playing with tennis balls, so I’m looking forward to her having more time for that.”

Schwartz said Fiji has been a good fit in all her roles from day one. “She is one of the family. It’s like having another child.”

WPD PROMOTES OFFICERS DIVISION OF POLICE

CHARLES CHANDLER WPD CHIEF

IN “WESTERVILLE FIRST” RESTRUCTURING WPD Chief Charles Chandler had some new ideas when he took the helm of the department last August. Among them was an organizational restructuring to streamline and modernize operations of the department. This new structure features the promotions of many officers you know, and aligns the system with Chief Chandler’s “Westerville First” strategic priority.

The primary command structure includes the removal of two positions that were previously considered command staff positions. Those positions were reallocated to frontline supervisory roles. The addition of a sergeant to investigations and a lieutenant to professional standards, will help provide better investigative services to the

community and assist in the goal of achieving national law enforcement accreditation for the division. Under the new structure Assistant Chiefs and the Captain have bureau commander responsibilities reporting directly to Chief Chandler. The new executive level structure includes the promotion of two former Lieutenants, Ron McMillin and Tracey Myers, who each have spent the majority of their law enforcement careers at WPD. This structure features the elimination of the Corporal rank with 15 promotions, including six new Lieutenants, seven Sergeants, a Captain and Assistant Chief. This restructuring did not include the addition of more supervisory positions but a shift in titles, placement and responsibilities.

2020 Census Begins

For the first time, U.S. Census Bureau accepts online, phone and mail responses

The City of Westerville is joining the U.S. Census Bureau and community partners to help ensure every resident is counted in the 2020 Census when it opens on Wednesday, April 1.

Responses to the census can only be used to produce statistics. By law, all household and business survey responses to the U.S. Census Bureau are kept completely confidential.

With an estimated 300 million-plus citizens in the United States, it may be tempting to think that a single response won’t count for much—but that would be incorrect. Census data impacts the daily lives of citizens, informing how more than $675 billion in federal dollars should flow back to state, county and local-level infrastructure and community projects. The data collected also helps determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives.

New in 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau will accept online responses. Each home will receive an invitation to respond to a short questionnaire— by phone, mail or online.

The Westerville Public Library (126 S. State St.) will offer a dedicated census station for residents to complete their surveys online. A station will also be available at Otterbein University’s Courtwright Memorial Library (138 W. Main St.) for students and members of the public.

Survey respondents leave their mark on history and join a tradition of civic responsibility first established in 1790.

Learn more about the census at www.2020census.gov.

WE COUNT:

HOW YOUR RESPONSE TO THE 2020 CENSUS HELPS WESTERVILLE REPRESENTATION This data gives the City a better high-level understanding of who our residents are and insight into their evolving needs. It can help inform decisions about future programs and infrastructure updates.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS This data is crucial to economic development in communities, informing prospective businesses with accurate data about the City.

DISASTER RECOVERY Census responses help the City prepare for a disaster. Aid organizations, like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), use this data as well when planning recovery efforts after a widespread emergency.

Improvement Projects “Spring Up” Soon

As the weather warms up and the days grow longer, the City is ramping up improvements planned for 2020.

Here is a look at some of the major projects on the horizon:

UPTOWN IMPROVEMENTS

Pavement resurfacing, sidewalk improvements and other updates along State Street, between Walnut and Home Streets, are expected to resume early in March or April. The Uptown Improvement Project will bring Westerville’s historic area into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This project is expected to be completed in November. Get updates at www.westerville.org/uptown.

NEW SIGNAL AT TOWERS TRAIL AND COUNTY LINE ROAD

Westerville’s first Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) at the intersection of Towers Trail and County Line Road will be installed this spring. Sometimes called a High-Intensity Activated crossWALK (HAWK) beacon, these signals create safer, more efficient pedestrian crossings on busy streets. They are often tied to the traffic signal system, so pedestrian wait times may vary. Read about this project at www.westerville.org/PHB.

IMPROVEMENTS ON NORTH STATE STREET Water Line Updates: The City is “retiring” an aging waterline in Uptown to ensure the continued delivery of excellent water services for years to come. These critical infrastructure improvements involve replacing a water line on North State Street, between West Home Street and Broadway Avenue). Following the replacement, crews will connect homes from West Home Street to West Broadway Avenue to the new water lines. Please watch for workers in the area and traffic adjustments during this work.

North State Street Widening Project: To improve traffic conditions and make way for continuing business development in the area, the City is widening northbound North State Street, between Hoff Road and Polaris Parkway. Get project updates on the GoWesterville interactive map, www. westeville.org/construction.

Charter Review to Fulfill 10-Year Duty

The Charter for the City of Westerville is the guiding document for the City’s governance — a “mini-Constitution” of sorts. Every 10 years, Westerville City Council appoints a Charter Review Commission, residents who are charged with the full review of the Charter to provide recommendations for updates, revisions and edits that best reflect City programs, services and community governance needs.

A five-member Commission last met in January 2010, reviewing the Charter in-depth, with a focus on fine-tuning the City’s time-tested document. The group proposed a number of amendments to existing Charter language and relevant edits. This committee will consider the same objective, with any proposed modifications posted online on the City of Westerville website at www.westerville.org for resident review.

Special thanks to the following individuals who will serve on the Charter Review Commission in 2020:

Larry Jenkins, Chair Lavonne Bailey, Vice Chair Dennis Blair John Bokros Megan Reamsnyder

For more information, please contact the Clerk of Council’s office at (614) 901-6410.

GET HIP TO In addition to providing reliable power services, the Westerville Electric Division (WED) oversees a number of programs focused on energy efficiency and sustainability.

For large and small commercial and industrial (C&I) customers, WED offers BusinessWISE (or, the Westerville Incentive Savings for Efficiency Program), which offers financial incentives for energy-saving initiatives.

“Through this program, the City empowers the Westerville business community to do what they can to conserve energy. It helps the environment and also helps keep the cost of power low for all customers by reducing peak usage,” said Westerville Electric Utility Manager Chris Monacelli.

The program offers rebates for lighting fixtures, lighting controls, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) upgrades and custom efficiency projects.

These improvements, both small and large, add up to make a significant impact over the years: 2016 - 12 projects, paid $136,000 in incentives, 21,900 MWh lifetime savings

2017 - 19 projects, paid $98,000 in incentives, 17,300 MWh lifetime savings

2018 - 33 projects, paid $519,000 in incentives, 79,500 MWh lifetime savings

Read up on the program at www.westerville.org/ businessWISE. 18

POLICE/COURT

FACILITY UPDATE

Last November, Westerville voters said yes to a 0.96 mill request to combine operations of the Westerville Division of Police (WPD), Emergency Communications (9-1-1), Investigations and Mayor’s Court and bringing these departments together under one roof.

Since that time, the City has been at work on the initial steps to get the property at 229 Huber Village Blvd prepared for transformation into the new Westerville Police/Court Facility.

Here are the latest activity milestones, with construction and renovations starting late this year or early 2021.

Architectural firm Brandstetter-Carroll retained to complete design work Final plan design is expected in late spring/early summer 2020 Westerville City Council to approve the final design; plans will be submitted to Planning Commission and then Building Department for review Concurrently, City administration will work to prepare for sale of $15 million bond issue in the fall 2020 Project goes out to bid in the fall, with bid award contemplated in October/November time frame (this year) Construction schedule expected to be at least 12 months for occupancy in late 2021/early 2022

Meet Katie Sass WESTERVILLE’S EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR

For the past 14 years, Katie Sass has brought her trademark enthusiasm and optimism to various roles with Westerville Parks and Recreation. Today, she helps oversee customer service operations at the Westerville Community Center, rental operations and helps with technology adoption and integration, leading the way with a bright smile and unwavering commitment to making a resident’s day. Katie brings that same positive attitude to everything she does, especially when spending time with her husband, Shawn, and two young children. It’s this consistent energy that inspired her colleagues to nominate her as the City of Westerville’s 2019 Employee of the Year.

YOU’VE DEDICATED YOUR CAREER TO HELPING RESIDENTS THROUGH WESTERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GET INTO THIS LINE OF WORK? I love working with kids and I love sports, which I did part-time as an instructor for active preschool classes and a birthday party leader. As I progressed into a few different roles, I started to enjoy the facility end of the operation and wanted a change from programming.

FROM ADOPTING NEW TECHNOLOGY TO EMBRACING CHALLENGES, YOUR COLLEAGUES APPRECIATE YOUR POSITIVE OUTLOOK. WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO BRING THIS ENERGY TO YOUR WORK? I think new technology intimidates some people. I like finding new ways of doing things and showing staff how it can make their job easier. It’s fun to see the ‘light bulbs’ go on. New technology brings new opportunities. We have started to embrace that more and more, and learn from our mistakes. Sometimes even I have to remember that! The more positive you are, the better the reaction will be to change.

WHAT IS SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR ROLE THAT MIGHT SURPRISE RESIDENTS? I am the state coordinator for the Ohio Senior Olympics state games. I get the opportunity to work with athletes from all over the midwest, bring them to Westerville and help them fulfill their competitive spirit with others in their age group. It keeps me in the programming mindset.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF YOUR JOB? Not a day in recreation is the same. There is always a new opportunity or a new challenge every day so boredom is never an issue!

WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU’D LIKE RESIDENTS TO KNOW ABOUT WESTERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION? We always have the best interest of the residents at the forefront of our projects/programs/ideas. We’re very passionate about our patrons. We all find and fight for what is best for them. We really do work hard to make life better for the residents of Westerville.

City Expands Eco-Friendly Programs with

PILOT COMPOST DROP-OFF

The Westerville Public Service Department is adding a pilot project compost “drop-off” this spring to its list of environmentally-friendly programs for residents.

Through the program, residents can place compostable food waste items in marked 64-gallon receptacles at City facilities located at 350 Park Meadow Rd. and 469 Westdale Ave. 24-hours a day, seven days a week. The containers will be serviced weekly by Columbus-based GoZERO. Neighboring cities like Bexley and Upper Arlington have recently launched programs of their own.

Kevin Weaver, Westerville’s Public Service Director, says Westerville City Council recommended staff look into composting as a continuation of ongoing sustainability efforts.

“We’re pleased to bring this program to residents, which will allow them to participate in the reduction of food waste without the work of maintaining a compost pile in their yards,” Weaver said. “The City is aiming to divert at least 10 tons of food waste from the landfill with the program this year.”

The program is made possible by a grant of up to $9,240 (the maximum reimbursable amount) from the Solid Waste Authority of Ohio’s (SWACO) Community Waste Reduction Grant program.

Westerville is one of four communities receiving grants to start or expand community composting from the organization.

This program is optional and offered free-ofcharge to residents.

Find more information at www.westerville.org/ composting.

Johnston-McVay Park

ADDS PLAY, GREEN SPACE TO SOUTHEAST SIDE Construction of Johnston-McVay Park, located at 480 S. Hempstead Rd., begins soon. Its completion will fulfill a vision set forth in the Westerville Parks & Recreation master plan (Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces, or “PROS” for short) to invest in and create a park in the southeast area of the City.

According to Westerville Parks and Recreation Director Randy Auler, the park was designed to delight.

“Each park in Westerville is designed as a ‘signature space.’ With unique interactive elements that reflect its location, educational themes and, of course, the needs and imaginations of park users in mind.”

“This was already a beautiful piece of property.

We want to enhance the existing scenery with elements that will remind people of all ages what it feels like to play outside and interact with nature,” said Randy Auler.

The City worked with residents to create a blueprint for the park that honored the deeply philanthropic and nature-loving Johnston and McVay families. After a series of public meetings, the final design: q Preserves the property’s natural beauty and mature trees. q Implements whimsical and educational play elements. q Adds a realigned entry drive and bridge, shelter, restroom, trail network, parking lot, creek interaction zone and much more.

“This was already a beautiful piece of property. We want to enhance the existing scenery with elements that will remind people of all ages what it feels like to play outside and interact with nature,” said Auler.

For a glimpse of what is to come, review the final design at www.westerville.org/parks.

NATURE TRAIL ALMOST COMPLETE at Heritage Park If you enjoy nature and getting into the woods, a new trail will be available this spring at Heritage Park, 60 N. Cleveland Ave., thanks to a grant from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Environmental Education Fund and partnership between Westerville Parks and Recreation (WPR), Westerville City Schools (WCS) and Eclipse Aerial & Mapping LLC. Along with WPR staff, volunteers from WCS, Otterbein University, Eclipse Aerial, FACT, Metro Parks and JP Morgan Chase donated more than 56 hours to create the 1,200 ft. trail and 6,000 sq. ft. natural play area. Students from WCS mapped out the trail and created an electronic version of their work. They will be presenting their work to Westerville City Council this spring.

Counselor in Training Program

Westerville Parks and Recreation (WPR) is excited to offer a new program for ages 14-18 for teens interested in becoming a Camp Counselor. A Counselor in Training (CIT), has the opportunity to volunteer with main day camps, be engaged with Kids Fun Clubs, or gain hands-on outdoor education training and volunteer in outdoor education camps. The purpose of the program is to provide young adults the opportunity to gain work experience, develop marketable skills, enjoy recreational activities and learn the importance of volunteer service.

“The main function of a CIT is to provide assistance in the organization and implementation of a summer day camp,” said Chelsea VanAssche, Camp Supervisor for WPR. “The goal of the program is to help transition campers into counselors and create responsible and young leaders who can contribute positively to day camps and the Westerville community. By the time they are able to work as a camp counselor, they are well equipped with the training and experience to be strong counselors and provide high-quality day camp programming.”

CIT Requirements q

Complete an online application available at www.westerville.org/camps.

Application deadline is Friday, April 3.

q Qualified candidates will be contacted for an in-person interview throughout April; final offers will be made in early May. q

It’s th at eas y!

The City is testing new technology to help Uptown Westerville visitors find public parking options from a free mobile application.

In February, small sensors were installed in the asphalt of 350 parking spaces in four public lots, (see map for A, B, C and D lot location.) These sensors communicate space vacancies to the ParkingGenius mobile application, which in turn tells users how many spaces are available in real-time. The app will even give turn-by-turn directions to the parking lot.

“As the heart of our community, Uptown Westerville is a beloved and popular destination for visitors and residents,” said City Engineer Scott Tourville.

“We’re hoping this service makes finding parking as easy as possible.

One benefit of the program is the ability to capture occupancy data for the various lots.

“This data is a powerful tool for us and can help inform future decisions about parking in Uptown,” Tourville said.

The technology will not capture personal information, such as license plate numbers, car make or models, etc. Only information related to the use of the monitored parking spots will be recorded.

The pilot program will run in Uptown for up to 16 months, after which point Westerville City Council will evaluate its success and determine if the program will continue.

The mobile application indicates only the number of open spaces and cannot be used to reserve specific parking spots.

If you have driven along Cleveland Avenue, between County Line Road and Polaris Parkway, between 2018-2019, you may recall a large mound of dirt where DHL Supply Chain’s new North American headquarters now stands. What you might not know is how the City and the company worked together to save tens of thousands of dollars in project costs.

You’ve heard it said that people should not make mountains out of molehills. But this particular mound of dirt posed quite the conundrum. Approximately 25,000 cubic yards of dirt were moved to DHL’s site from other development sites. The company determined they did not require that much worm food, which created some challenges including the cost and logistics of transporting the material.

Staff from the City and company put their heads together and created a plan: DHL would raise their site by 3-6 inches to utilize 6,000 cubic yards from the pile and the City would allow them to use an existing structure to cross Alum Creek to transport the rest to land owned by city off Africa which is anticipated to need the fill material when it develops.

The collaboration and creative problem solving paid off with more than $30,000 in cost savings for DHL Supply Chain and the City.

Westerville Par tnership Studies Workforce:

STRENGTHENING TALENT PIPELINE KEY TO FUTURE SUCCESS After a year of careful research and planning, The Westerville Partnership (the City, Westerville Area Chamber, Westerville City Schools, Westerville Public Library and Otterbein University) has a plan to expand upon opportunities that would strengthen the area workforce.

A series of facilitated discussions and online surveys of more than 3,500 people (including Westerville employers, post-secondary students, high school students and counselors) revealed insight into some of the difficulties within Westerville’s workforce including:

IT SKILLS ARE IN HIGH DEMAND AMONG MOST SECTORS

THREE-QUARTERS OF EMPLOYERS WHO RESPONDED TO THE ONLINE SURVEY REPORTED BEING “SATISFIED” OR “VERY SATISFIED” WITH THE WESTERVILLE WORKFORCE.

?

SKILLED TRADE AND MANUFACTURING PROFESSIONALS ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY

ENTRY LEVEL

ENTRY-LEVEL AND LOWER-WAGE JOBS ARE “VERY CHALLENGING” TO FILL

FEW EMPLOYERS ARE UTILIZING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

This research helped the Partnership identify a number of strategic recommendations in key categories: Talent Development, Talent Attraction and Workforce System Alignment.

Like a game of “connect the dots,” many of the resources needed by members of the workforce and employers already exist within Westerville and broader Columbus Region. From higher education, access to free training resources and the development of the future workforce, the key points are all within reach in Westerville and the two counties in which it sits.

“No day in the City of Westerville is ever the same and we need to consistently communicate what’s happening in the community with our residents,” said Christa Dickey, Community Affairs Director. “Tell Westerville will give users a direct line to the City, as well as offers the City a way to share the latest on construction, events, videos and more.”

Powered by See.Click.Fix., the mobile application will feature a sleek new design that is easy to use.

As always, service requests can be submitted through the website at www.westerville.org/servicerequest.

To download this digital extension of the City’s customer service team, simply visit your mobile application store (Google Play, Apple App Store) and search “Tell Westerville” to download.

CITY FIFTH IN

INTERNATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY RANKING The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) named Westerville number five of 30 communities ranked by sustainability.

ICF evaluates communities on the basis of their performance in six key indicators: broadband connectivity, knowledge workforce, innovation, digital equality, advocacy and sustainability.

The City was honored for its many environmentally friendly programs like BusinessWISE, a Westerville Electric Division program that provides incentives for businesses that perform energy-saving facility upgrades.

30

In October, ICF announced that Westerville was an overall international 2020 Smart21 community. Since then, the City and 20 other communities engaged in a more intensive application process to be considered for the organization’s list of 2020 Top7 Intelligent Community.

Westerville has the distinct honor of being the first City named to both lists on its first attempt for recognition in 2019. The ICF announced the 2020 Top7 honorees in February.

Learn more about the process of recognition at www.intelligentcommunity.org.

The Westerville Parks & Recreation Department is pleased to offer online registration for classes, programs and shelters. Online registration streamlines the process of registering by eliminating the need to wait in long lines on registration day.

Any household that has previously participated in a Parks and Recreation program, pass, or facility reservation may already have an online account.

Those wanting to sign up for the first time will need to create an account through our online registration site www.westerville.org /registration. Click “Create an Account” and follow the prompts.

Proof of residency is required in order to be eligible for the discounted resident rates.

With your active online account, you will be able to view class information, process registration and reservations, make secure credit card payments and view class enrollment counts from your home or office 24 hours a day! You can even make changes to your household and member’s information–fast, easy and secure. User name/passwords and household information can be changed once you log in. Click on “My Accounts.”
