Welcome We’re heading into fall with the return of big events and lots of recreational programming to enjoy. The Great Westerville Pumpkin Glow is here October 20-24 (page 20), and we’re back in the park to experience the pumpkin trail, family activities, food and entertainment. A special thanks to the Rotary Club of Westerville for hosting the 4th of July activities this summer. Record-breaking crowds came out to the Westerville Sports Complex to enjoy activities and entertainment, capped off with a spectacular fireworks display in the new Heritage Park-area location. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive on the new site, so look for even more to enjoy at next year’s celebration.

For your safety, the City of Westerville follows the U.S. Center for Disease Control and the state of Ohio regarding wearing of masks or facial coverings. Visit www.westerville.org for additional information.

Cover Image: C-40 stands tall as the centerpiece of First Responders Park, 374 W. Main St. The 20th anniversary observance of 9/11 will take place at the park from 7:30-9:30 p.m. on September 11. Information on the ceremony can be found of page 4.

Never Forget: City Planning Special Observance for 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Two decades after the deadliest attack on U.S. soil, Westerville residents will gather to reflect on the worldchanging events of 9/11, the years that followed and discuss their hopes for the future. A formal observance will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11 at First Responders Park (374 W. Main St.) with temporary displays, lighting and video presentations. The exhibit will remain in place through 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 12. Westerville City Manager Monica Irelan says the organizing team for the observance designed the event keeping in mind those who lived through 9/11 and also those who were not yet alive. “Twenty years ago, the country made a promise to ‘Never Forget’ the events of Sept. 11, and we’ve held strong to that, overall.” said Irelan. “However, we recognize that there’s a whole generation of young adults, teens and children who may feel detached, and yet, so much of their lives have been shaped as a direct result of these events.”

The enduring legacy of 9/11 is the brief moment in time afterward when the country seemed to unite for love of country and compassion for neighbors. The City is endeavoring to recapture that feeling, giving attendees the opportunity to record and share their vision and hope for the future. Families and people of all ages are encouraged to attend. Some footage of the towers and aftermath, as well as dispatch communications audio will be presented. This will be a secular event. The Westerville Chaplain Corps plans to host a separate event at First Responders Park at 12 p.m. Find event details and updates at www.westerville.org/ neverforget.

The event will pay special tribute to the first responders and civilians who showed untold courage during the attacks and in the days, weeks and months that followed. Attendees will walk through an immersive experience that curves through the park, which was expanded and renovated with community support in 2019. The park prominently features “C-40,” twisted steel that fell from the North Tower of the World Trade Center. See “The Story Behind” on the next page. In addition to audio/visual presentation elements, the event will include live music and storytellers reading children’s stories about 9/11. “We want everyone who walks through to leave with an understanding of what happened, the impact and with the hope that they can impact the future,” said Irelan.

The Story Behind: “C-40” at First Responders Park You know it by sight, but are you aware of its name and history? The 2.3-ton piece of twisted steel has stood at Westerville’s First Responders Park since 2009. It fell at least 100 stories to the ground at 10:28 a.m. on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. If you’re close, you can see an increasingly fading spraypainted “C-40” on the side of the steel. As excavation began after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center buildings in New York City, the marking showed where the steel was installed on the North Tower, between its 98th-101st floors. “C-40” was obtained from the New York-New Jersey Port Authority from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) where it was studied as part of the federal investigation into the collapse of the towers. Westerville was one of the first communities in the state of Ohio to make a request for a piece of steel to become part of a memorial that would be dedicated to first responders. Retired Westerville firefighter Tom Ullom led the effort to secure the steel for Westerville, along with Mayor Kathy Cocuzzi and former Parks & Recreation Administrator Michael Hooper. In 2008, the trio traveled to the East Coast to find “C-40,” learning later it was located just above the impact site of American Airlines Flight 11. That flight, a Boeing 767, was the first hijacked terrorist plane that crashed into the tower that day, carrying 76 passengers, 11 crew members and five terrorists.

Ullom arranged to have the steel escorted into Westerville in September 2009, led by first responders to its final destination as centerpiece to First Responders Park on W. Main Street. The steel was treated and mounted to stand vertically in the park, then dedicated in 2010 to honor the service and sacrifice of all first responders at the park’s first opening. In 2019, the park was renovated and expanded around “C-40.” More than 12 years ago, an entire public space was designed around “C-40.” To this day, Westerville gathers around it each year on special occasions, not the least of which will be the upcoming 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks and the day it fell to Earth. You will see it adorned with flowers, cards and memories of a patriotic community honoring the idea to “Never Forget” the sacrifice of first responders who lost their lives to save others that terrible day. You’re invited to stand close to “C-40,” touch the steel and honor the lives lost that day while experiencing messages of hope through the eyes of a new generation on Saturday, Sept. 11 at 7:30 p.m.

“I remember it had an eerie feeling to it,” said Cocuzzi. “It was as if we were drawn to that piece over all the other twisted pieces. It had a sense of sadness to it when we first noticed it that tells its own story about the magnitude of what happened.”

THE LAST “WESTERVILLE” HONOR FLIGHT

“Westerville For Honor Flight” Sunsets

Seven hundred Westerville and Central Ohio veterans taken on an all-expense paid tour of their memorials in Washington, D.C. Twelve years of flights, some $400,000 in total fundraising to charter Southwest and American planes. Dozens of fundraising events, ranging from concerts to breakfasts to parades. More than a 1,000 people gathered at John Glenn International Airport for emotional “welcome home” ceremonies. And a dedicated committee of some 20 volunteers with a heart for servicing those who served worked together for more than a decade. “Westerville For Honor Flight” has had a good run. The Thursday, Sept. 23 flight will be the last Westerville community-sponsored flight. The committee who manages the fundraising efforts will sunset, but Honor Flight Columbus will continue conducting the local effort for military veterans. “Back in 2008, our goal was to ensure the remaining World War II veterans had this opportunity,” said Julie Colley, Westerville resident and current chair of the Westerville For Honor Flight committee. “Sadly, many of those veterans are gone now, and we evolved into offering Korean and Vietnam veterans this tour of honor. Looking back on what this community has accomplished is awe-inspiring, and everyone in Westerville should be proud of what we did together.” Colley says there was a sense of urgency 12 years ago to fund these flights. At the time, it was estimated about 1,000 WWII veterans died each day. Honor Flight Columbus had a waiting list for the scheduled trips despite having about two flights each month. Getting as many soldiers and military personnel there from the “Greatest Generation” was an opportunity Westerville couldn’t pass up.

Fosselman chaired the committee for about 10 years. In addition to helping raise funds, the group created opportunities for the entire community to participate. The “Welcome Home,” for instance, is an event that became a highlight of the day. That post-flight event has attracted hundreds of residents, along with marching band musicians and companies from veteran and military organizations. Westerville resident Jeff Reschke has had a hand in organizing many fundraising events, including the annual Pancake Breakfast at the American Legion Post #171. For years, Reschke and the Westerville Lions Club wrangled members of the School Board, City Council and dozens of other organizations to serve food and bus tables for breakfast patrons, many of whom were veterans dressed in recognition of their branch of service. “We were doing really grassroots fundraising, and Westerville made it happen,” said Reschke. “From eating pancakes to pulled pork sandwiches at 4th Friday, we were able to see this was a community cause people wanted to bring their kids to and be a part of. It has been a really special project.” Reschke and others say they will continue to support Honor Flight and its local impact on military veterans through Honor Flight Columbus. If you’re interested in supporting future flights, donations may be made by check (to “Honor Flight Columbus”) or secure credit card payment at www.honorflightcolumbus. org. Donations are tax-deductible; Honor Flight Columbus is a 501c3 organization. For more information please visit www.honorflightcolumbus.org.

That first year, the committee, led by former Westerville City Councilmember Diane Fosselman, put together representatives of the City, Westerville City Schools, residents, businesses and service clubs to produce events that would raise funds for the inaugural community-sponsored flight. It was scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 10, 2009, escorting about 100 veterans and their guardians (volunteers who stayed with each veteran throughout the day).

The community welcomes back Honor Flight Veterans from one of the first flights.

HISTORIC ARMORY TO TRANSFORM

COhatch CREATING COWORK, DINER’S SPACE Westerville’s historic Armory (240 S. State St.) is being converted into a property that will serve the community as a coworking space, start-up incubator, event venue and familyfriendly food and entertainment destination. The plan is a collaboration between the City of Westerville and COhatch. “The vision for the COhatch collaboration on the Armory renovation begins a public process to repurpose a space to benefit our residents, workforce and visitors,” said Westerville City Manager, Monica Irelan. “This is an opportunity to introduce a destination-oriented, mixed-use development on the southern edge of our thriving, historic Uptown. COhatch is the right company to help identify collaborative opportunities that advance private industry revitalization and fulfill our promise to the Westerville community.”

COhatch, an organization assisting communities by helping them re-envision spaces as “Town Hall 2.0” hubs, hopes the site will provide access to activities, amenities and services to live a life that balances work, family, well-being, community and philanthropy. The organization has more than 20 locations open or under construction nationwide. The Armory was originally dedicated in 1939. It supported military operations up until 2005. With the COhatch collaboration, the Veterans Memorial currently in place at the Armory will move to an expanded facility at the Westerville Sports Complex (325 N. Cleveland Ave.). For more information on COhatch and what the collaboration will bring to the Westerville community, visit www.cohatch.com.

DORA Update The Uptown Westerville designated outdoor refreshment area (DORA) opened June 17 with more than 10 businesses participating. Open Thursdays and Fridays from 5-10 p.m. and Saturdays from 12-10 p.m., the DORA provides an opportunity for Uptown visitors to enjoy a beverage from a participating business while strolling through shops and experiencing all Uptown Westerville has to offer.

How it Works, Why it Matters The Council/Manager Form of Government

REVIEW HOW YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT OPERATES When Westerville voters head to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 2, they will elect Westerville City Councilmembers to fill four seats for four-year terms. With these citizen representatives serving as the legislative body, the professional management of the City is executed through a Council-appointed, highly-trained municipal administrator. Oversight and management of day-to-day operations are the responsibilities of this administrator, the City Manager, who serves as the City’s chief executive. This “Council-Manager’’ form of government helps eliminate party politics to promote a consistent approach to governance, and save public dollars by eliminating waste and enhancing accountability for the delivery of services and programs. This form of government is part of the City’s legacy. Frustrated by unacceptable services and infrastructure, the Westerville community voted to approve it by a twoto-one margin more than 100 years ago. On January 1, 1916, Westerville became the first (then) village in Ohio to adopt the Council-Manager system. Today, more cities than not across the nation are professionally managed, with nearly all central Ohio suburban communities led by a Council and a City Manager. As you prepare to cast a vote for future Council members in November, take a minute to learn about the role of Council and the City Manager. WHAT IS WESTERVILLE CITY COUNCIL? Members serve at-large, which means they are to represent everyone in the community, not a specific ward or district. There are seven elected members who act as Westerville’s only legislative body; setting policy, establishing goals and approving and overseeing the City’s annual budget. Council votes among themselves to elect officers, who serve as Chair, Vice Chair, Mayor and Vice Mayor. The Mayor and Vice Mayor are ceremonial and represent the City at events, ribbon cuttings and proclamations. Council also hires or appoints City staff members who report directly to Council. These positions include the City Manager, Clerk of Council and Law Director. Council meets twice a month, on the first and third Tuesdays. Meetings air live on WestervilleTV (www.westerville.org/tv) or via the website by selecting “Watch Public Meetings” from the right hand side menu options. Read Council bylaws at www.westerville.org/councilbylaws.

WHO IS THE CITY MANAGER? In 1915, Westerville was struggling with poor utility service, massive flooding and crumbling infrastructure. This led to the adoption of the form of government which allows for the professional management of these issues. In the modern era, professionals are trained in public affairs and municipal administration, including city planning, finances, public safety and much more. The City Manager hires and directs staff. Westerville’s current City Manager, Monica Irelan, was City Manager in Painesville, Ohio for four years. Prior to that, she held city management positions in the cities of Troy, Grosse Pointe Farms in Michigan and the City of Napoleon, Ohio. She holds a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science and Legal Certificate from the University of Detroit Mercy and a Master’s in Public Administration degree from Wayne State University in Detroit. Westerville has had 16 City Managers. Irelan is the first woman to hold the position. WANT TO SERVE? In October, the Clerk of Council’s office will advertise for vacancies on various Westerville Boards and Commissions. If you have an interest in serving, consider applying for one of these positions. You can view a list of existing vacancies on page 27, or you can visit the website in early October for details. Serving on a Board or Commission is considered an informative pathway to City Council service, although not required to run for a Council seat. Visit www.westerville.org/applybc for more information. FIND MORE AND CONSIDER MORE? You can find more information on City Council, the City Manager’s Office and each City department at www. westerville.org. Want to take a deeper dive? Consider the Westerville Citizen Academy, returning in April 2022. WCA is an eight-week (each Thursday) course providing a hands-on and interactive approach with all City departments and personnel.

MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS: How You Can Help Abuse Survivors You’re out to dinner with a group of friends and you notice it: a friend you haven’t seen in a while seems...different. It was supposed to be an intimate group night out, but their partner showed up unexpectedly. They take your friend’s phone at the table to read text messages and make cruel comments about your friend to the group. You think something’s off, but you don’t know what to say. So you say nothing and hope for the best. Abuse takes on many forms. It does not discriminate by age, gender, orientation, religion, economic conditions or race. While there is no one way to define abuse, it is typically marked by an abuser attempting to gain power and control over another using a variety of methods. The Center for Family Safety and Healing (TCFSH) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital partnered with the City of Westerville to open an area facility in 2019. According to the TCFSH website, residents should be aware of the following warning signs that someone may be suffering abuse:

WARNING SIGNS

•

Physical injuries, such as broken bones, fingers, wrist, unexplained bruising

•

Claims of being “clumsy” or “accidentprone”

•

Covering injuries with makeup or clothing that may be inappropriate for the season or occasion

Add these numbers to your phone: Emergency: Call or text 9-1-1 immediately If it’s not safe to talk or text, offer clues to the 9-1-1 communications technicians. They are trained to help! Franklin County Children Services Child Abuse Hotline (24/7): (614) 229-7000

CHOICES for Victims of Domestic Violence (Franklin County) (24/7): (614) 224-4663

Those who think they are seeing signs of abuse are encouraged to approach survivors privately with empathy and trust. Listen to their story. Understand that leaving an abuser is usually incredibly complicated for the survivor. Offer to provide or contact resources for help (domestic violence hotlines can help assist survivors with a place to stay, legal protection and planning). Remind the survivor that they are loved and that help is available. Remember to always call 9-1-1 in an emergency. Knowing that someone cares and is concerned for their wellbeing could be the first of many important steps for a survivor to find a way out of a dangerous situation. Find resources to help at www.familysafetyandhealing.org.

NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE-BACK DAY NATIONAL PRESCRIPTION DRUG TAKE-BACK DAY SATURDAY, OCT. 23 10 A.M. - 12 P.M. The Westerville Division of Police (WPD) is encouraging residents to check their cabinets for unneeded prescription drugs ahead of National Drug Take-Back Day on Saturday, Oct. 23. Removing unnecessary prescription medications from the home eliminates the opportunity for individuals to find and abuse them. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported record-high overdose deaths during the pandemic. Current data indicates more than 90,000 overdose deaths in the 12-month period ending November 2020, a 29% increase from the prior 12-month period. In addition to participating in prescription drug take back events, WPD offers a 24-hour drop box in the lobby at the headquarters (29 S. State St.) Please read the list to the right before bringing medications to WPD. Alternative Drop-off Locations Meijer Pharmacy #181 (100 Polaris Parkway) WalMart Pharmacy #10-5857 (50 E.

Heed the Beeps!

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 3 -9

Fire Prevention Week Focuses on Sounds of Fire Safety The Westerville Division of Fire (WFD) and the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) want residents to “Learn the Sounds of Fire Safety” this Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 3-9). The campaign places equal emphasis on ensuring those who have trouble hearing or who are unable to hear have an understanding of the warning signals available to them. In 2020, when many professionals and students were sent home to work remotely, more people began tuning in to the different chirps and tones emitting from their warning systems. It’s from this realization that NFPA organizers say they decided to emphasize the importance of understanding the audible warnings from carbon monoxide (CO) and smoke alarms.

“CO and smoke detectors, when functioning properly, are designed to give you some sort of an indication if something is wrong. Whether it’s reminding you to change the batteries, inspect the device or that there is truly carbon monoxide or smoke present, these indicators always mean you need to stop what you’re doing and pay attention,” said WFD Chief Brian Miller. “Don’t chance it. These devices save lives.” NFPA asks residents to “keep an ear out” for the following list of sounds: •

• •

A continuous set of three loud beeps—beep, beep, beep—means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out. A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed. Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced.

REMINDER: All smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years. Chief Miller says smoke and CO alarms must meet the needs of all in your home, especially those with disabilities and adaptive needs. Testing and regular battery replacement are essential. Learn more about Fire Prevention Week and find resources for individuals who would benefit from adaptive equipment at www.westerville.org/fpw.

APPLIANCE AUDIT COULD HELP SAVE ENERGY, COSTS The experts at the Westerville Electric Division are encouraging residents to sweep their homes for signs of inefficient appliances this fall. Energy saved today can result in money saved later. The City purchases power from the market, however, other bill components like the cost of transmission are largely out of Westerville’s control. Those prices are based on, among other things, the highest peak consumption days in any given year. Inefficient appliances require much more energy to perform, they can have a real impact on your utility bill. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the top three uses of home electricity in 2020 were: 1. Space Cooling (16%) 2. Space Heating (14%) 3. Water Heating (12%)

SIMPLE STEPS TOWARD SMART CHANGES: SPACE COOLING The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that residents can reduce air conditioning-related energy usage by up to 50% by switching to a highefficiency product and taking other actions to lower cooling costs.

SPACE HEATING Heating requires more energy than other home systems, accounting for about 42% of the average American utility bill. According to the DOE, Energy Star-rated smart thermostats save users an average of $50 per year.

Did you know? Replacing clogged air filters can reduce your home’s energy consumption by up to 15%!

Did you know? The City offers a rebate program for residents who use Nest programmable thermostats. Learn more at www.westerville.org/nest.

WATER HEATING The average household spends between $400-$600 annually on water heating alone. Energy Star-certified electric storage water heaters can save the average family of four up to $3,500 over the lifespan of the appliance. Did you know? The DOE says if all home water heaters were certified through the Energy Star program, emission levels equivalent to those from 15 million vehicles would be removed each year.

Learn more about how adjusting, replacing or simply maintaining appliances in these areas can help save money and energy consumption at www.energy.gov. As a not-for-profit Public Power provider, the Westerville Electric Division is community-owned. Serving approximately 40,000 residents, the utility provider keeps a steady, forward-moving current of programs, creating opportunities for customers to save money and help protect the environment. Have a question about your household’s electricity usage? Call the Westerville Electric Division at (614) 901-6700.

PUBLIC SERVICE

Enhancing Community Initiatives LEAF COLLECTION SCHEDULED Annual leaf collection with Westerville Public Service (WPS) begins this October with the same zone-based collection periods as in the past. Residents are reminded to rake all leaves to the tree lawn between the sidewalk and the street, but not rake leaves into the street, while also keeping basketball hoops off the street. “Keeping leaves out of the street protects the City’s stormwater quality,” said Kevin Weaver, WPS Director. “This will help maintain on-street parking and keep neighbors and City workers safe.” Weaver also stated that keeping basketball hoops off the street will allow workers to complete the project more frequently. Leaf collection schedules are mailed to residents in late September. For more details and instructions, visit www.westerville.org/leafcollection, and to keep track of leaf collection progress, visit the Westerville Road Warrior map at www.westerville.org/roadwarriors. COMPOSTING EXPANDED A fourth composting location as been added to the three food/waste drop off locations already in place. More than 100,000 pounds of food/ waste has been diverted from the landfill to date. The additional bins are located at Huber Village Park (362 Huber Village Blvd.) near the Pointview water tower. The three locations already in place include 310 W. Main St., 469 Westdale Ave. and 370 Park Meadow Rd. HYDRANT FLUSHING COMPLETED Hydrants are flushed yearly to help clear the water lines of particulates that may build up over time. During the process, crews check the hydrants and valves for any operational issues which need to be addressed in order to keep the hydrants in good working order for fighting fires. Please contact the Westerville Department of Public Service at (614) 9016740 with any questions, concerns or help with any of these services. The Department is open from 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information on all of the services Westerville Public Service offers the community, visit www.westerville.org/service.

HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE SATURDAY, SEPT. 11 8 A.M.-2 P.M. PUBLIC SERVICE COMPLEX 350 PARK MEADOW RD.

SHREDDING DAY SATURDAY, OCT. 9 9 A.M.-2 P.M. HOFF WOODS PARK 556 MCCORKLE BLVD.

CLEAN STREAMS BEGIN WITH Y U Residents, visitors and business owners are called to commit to protecting Westerville’s source water from their own yards.

When rain falls and snow melts, water drains from lawns and paved surfaces (streets, parking lots, etc.) into local streams directly and via stormwater facilities. Westerville receives most of its water from Alum Creek, just north of Main Street. Water is extensively filtered by the City before it reaches households but local animals and plants don’t receive the same benefit.

More information about Ohio Stormwater Awareness Week is available on the City’s website, www.westerville.org.

OHIO STORMWATER AWARENESS WEEK OCT. 17-23

Consider taking the following steps at home to help protect water for all:

•

Never place yard waste, including leaves, or litter in the road or in storm drains.

•

Properly dispose of chemicals and hazardous waste (Fall Household Hazardous Waste Collection is Sept. 11. See page 23 for details!)

•

Pick up trash and debris around your yard and neighborhood.

•

Ensure pet waste is disposed of properly. Bag it and trash it.

•

Consider planting a rain garden featuring native plants and trees. (Westerville residents might qualify for a rebate on materials! Visit www.communitybackyards. org for details.)

WELCOME JONATHAN BENTLEY FIRST-EVER DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION DIRECTOR JOINS STAFF Jonathan Bentley spent the summer making big moves. First, he rose to the top of a qualified candidate list for a new full-time position on City of Westerville staff, accepting the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Director position last June. Then, he packed up his family and moved 137 miles west back to Central Ohio. It’s all part of Bentley’s professional commitment to helping communities show leadership in inclusivity and equity. Bentley comes to Westerville from the City of Youngstown, Ohio, where he served as Executive Director and Equal Employment Officer of its Human Relations Commission. He was hired by Westerville City Manager Monica Irelan after she formed the position earlier this year. In Youngstown, Bentley managed the City’s Human Relations Commission, mediating and/or resolving dispute and settlements on various issues of discrimination in the areas of education, fair employment and fair housing. He also created workforce programs to match individuals with available employment opportunities, and managed other employment and career training needs in Youngstown and the surrounding region. Bentley has also conducted training with law enforcement agencies. “Jonathan brings experience that will truly shape our inclusion efforts as a community,” said Irelan. “He can help us centralize and fully form our ideas as well as maximize the impact we can have when it comes to policy development and partnerships. Westerville has a tradition of attracting strong talent, and Jonathan will be exceptional in this role.” The DEI position was created by Irelan to build upon Westerville City Council and administration’s work in

forming legislation and programs to promote a safe, inclusive community. The posting of the position captured praise from other public officials. Bentley says Irelan’s language that the DEI director will “bridge the gap between internal programs and external efforts, building alliances with organizations confronting racism” was resolute, bold and attention-getting. “It was very clear to me that Westerville is serious about internal and external development to be a gold standard community in diversity, inclusion and equity,” said Bentley. “We have to define the role of local government in that objective and invite partners to come along with us. Westerville’s work is already known, so we really are setting the pace for the communities within the state of Ohio, and obviously beyond as evidenced by comments in Ann Arbor.”* Bentley holds a Masters of Science in Higher Education from Youngstown State University. He graduated from The Ohio State University with a bachelor’s in clinical psychology. He and his family, including wife Selena and young children, are now settling in Central Ohio near family. The public is invited to meet Bentley at the Westerville City Council meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 7, which is Council’s first meeting after summer recess. For more information on the City of Westerville City Manager’s Office, please visit www.westerville.org/cmo.

DEI POSITION GAINS RECOGNITION *In a May 17 public meeting of Ann Arbor, Michigan. City Councilmember Linh Song said she has been researching the role of “DEI officers” in other communities such as Minneapolis, Minnesota and Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids, Michigan.

“I want to do a shoutout to Westerville, Ohio — a population of 40,000 — and how they have a job description up for their DEI director,” she said. “For folks who are unfamiliar with this and how it differs from internal HR work, diversity, equity and inclusion for Westerville, Ohio, looks like a way to promote an environment of gender, generational, racial, religious and ethnic diversity to position them as a leading community of inclusion in central Ohio.”

Phones Down, Heads Up: REMEMBER SCHOOL ZONE SAFETY THIS FALL Westerville City Schools are back in session and the Westerville Division of Police (WPD) is asking motorists to help keep students safe. DITCH THE DISTRACTIONS Road conditions can change in an instant, especially with increased pedestrian activity. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel until you reach your destination. FOLLOW THE RULES Each school has a designated drop-off and pick-up plan and/or area for students. These plans are designed for the safety of students and drivers alike. Drivers who ignore plans or designated areas put children in danger when crossing traffic in busy parking lots. BE PATIENT Remember there are new students and drivers unfamiliar with the schools and their procedures at the beginning of the academic year. Give yourself plenty of time to get your child to and from school. BE AWARE OF SCHOOL BUSES, THEIR LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS It is unlawful to pass a school bus dropping off and picking up students when warning lights are activated (ORC 4511.75). DIVIDED HIGHWAYS Where a highway has been divided into four or more traffic lanes, a driver need not stop for a school bus approaching from the opposite direction which has stopped for the purpose of receiving or discharging children. NO SPEEDING Adhere to the posted 20 mph speed limits while school is in session or while school zone warning flashers are operational. TARGET ENFORCEMENT WPD will conduct targeted enforcement in school zone areas, but it’s up to motorists to be aware of their surroundings and drive with the safety of all in mind.

How to Host a Special Event in Westerville For individuals and organizations looking to host their next event at a City of Westerville facility, a special events permit is required. These permits are needed for festivals, performances, competitions or other organized public events in which public rights of way or public property will be used or significantly impacted as a result of the event, and which, due to reasonable public safety concerns, foreseeably require the involvement of public personnel and equipment dedicated to assisting in the event. There are two types of special events: COMMUNITY SPECIAL EVENTS

Events in which the main purpose is to benefit the local community, and for which no individual receives a monetary gain for coordination of the event. PROFESSIONALSPECIAL EVENTS

Events in which the main purpose is to produce a financial benefit for an individual or an organization. INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW PRIOR TO ORGANIZING YOUR SPECIAL EVENT: All special event applications are due 90 days before the proposed event. The application can be found on the City website, under the government tab and Clerk of Council.

Access the Special Events Permit Application at www.westerville.org.

Required for full approval are: • the application, • special event fees, • refundable $300 deposit fee, insurance information (as described in application) • signed approval letter.

Special duty fees are paid directly to the police department and park reservations are made directly through the parks department and paid to the parks department.
