YOUR PASSPORT TO FITNESS, FAMILY AND COMMUNITY

Westerville Community Center “Expanding” its Value For more than 16 years, the 96,000 sq. ft. Westerville Community Center has provided a destination to fitness, community and fun for tons of thousands of residents and visitors. With more than 2,500 programs each year, it has truly become the center of the Westerville community.

Why purchase a passport with the Westerville Community Center versus one of the big-box fitness locations? Nearly 20% of gym members quit their gym because they don’t fit in or feel intimidated. (marketwatch.com). In additional to the strong sense of community, the center is home to a:

Westerville Community Center Passport holders remain loyal to the facility and staff because of the quality programming and services they receive. It’s where their children learn to swim, make lasting friendships and learn to become active and healthy. Teens experience their first adventures without mom or dad, attend group events and learn to be physically fit away from team sports. Adults relax while getting fit because their kids are enjoying a top of the line Sprouts Wait Room, meet new friends with similar interests while attending educational classes, enjoy a pickup game of basketball while their kids are learning how to cook, be creative, celebrate a friend or attend an activity. Older adults have social support, stay active and possibly attend a class with their children or grandchildren.

GYMNASIUM Basketball courts available (two full courts or four half courts) (Tuesday night passholder appreciation night) Special Tuesday night passholder appreciation night where the gymnasium is open on the passholders.

It is this loyalty that allows for the continual improvement of the facility, most notably the upcoming Community Center expansion which will include improved fitness areas, a new place for older adults, an upgraded area for nature lovers and exciting new additions to indoor pools.

Remembering

Officer Anthony Morelli

Officer Eric Joering

End of Watch, February 10, 2018 The Westerville Division of Police (WPD) would like to extend a sincere thank you to the community for their support after the tragic loss of Officer Eric Joering and Officer Anthony Morelli, who were killed in the line of duty on Saturday, February 10.

Officer Morelli was a 29-year veteran of WPD; Officer Joering had been with WPD for 16 years.

Please continue to keep their families in your thoughts as they work through these difficult times.

We ask that you also continue to support your Westerville Division of Police officers, communications and support staff, for they too have lost two members of their family.

While our hearts are absolutely broken, together we will remain Westerville Strong.

CLEVELAND AVENUE, SCHROCK ROAD IMPROVEMENTS

A STUDY IN COOPERATION

The City is partnering with the City of Columbus and the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to improve congestion and safety along both Cleveland Avenue (between I-270 and the JP Morgan Chase & Co. signal) and Schrock Road (between Schrock Hill Court and Cleveland Avenue) by adding lanes and improving safety. The improvements now in progress are a testament to the good things that happen when agencies work together.

Construction, which kicked off last summer, is expected to be complete late this year. However, the journey to this point officially started with a 2009 study as a result of ongoing congestion and vehicle accidents reported in the area, as well as the continuing expansion of Mt. Carmel St. Ann’s hospital. Westerville, Columbus, Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) and ODOT worked together to implement a number of interim countermeasures to improve conditions at the intersection, but a more permanent solution was needed. That study assessed safety and traffic demand in the area and confirmed that improvements were needed.

In the years that followed, Westerville worked with Columbus and the state to almost completely fund this $14 million project with grants, lessening the burden on residents for these infrastructure improvements.

Funding achievements include a $5 million grant through the Ohio Department of Transportation’s Safety Funding program, a federal grant of $5 million and an Ohio Public Works Commission grant of $3.35 million.

Construction can sometimes cause temporary congestion. This project is engineered to keep motorists moving alongside the extensive renovations.

Through traffic and access to businesses, Sharon Woods Metro Park, and Mt. Carmel St. Ann’s hospital are being maintained at all times, however, single lane closures should be anticipated between 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

What’s Happening at Cleveland and Schrock?

Measures to improve motorist and pedestrian safety.

Adding northbound and southbound lanes along Cleveland Ave Adding additional eastbound lanes on Schrock Rd to provide dual left and dual right turn lanes onto Cleveland Ave Installing new sidewalk on the north side of Schrock Rd between Schrock Hill Ct and Cleveland Avenue Extending the multi-use path on the east side of Cleveland Avenue from I-270N to JP Morgan Chase & Co. signal with connections to Sharon Woods Metro Park and Mt. Carmel St. Ann’s Improving street lighting and utilities

Green Runs Deep in Westerville There’s no doubt about it; environmentallyfriendly initiatives are important to the Westerville community. The City has created several programs to help municipal, business and residential activities reduce negative impacts on the environment through responsible land use and minimal pollution. Here a few other specific ways the City of Westerville works to keep our community green:

The City of Westerville participates in a joint contract with Franklin County Public Health (FCPH) for environmentally friendly mosquito control services to help reduce the spread of West Nile virus.

Each spring, the City partners with environmental groups to host a rain barrel, garden and composting workshop to encourage “backyard conservation.” See page 23 for details.

Celebrate our environmentally-friendly community at the annual Party at the Creek, where City and local environmental organizations offer nature-themed activities and entertainment for the whole family. See page 24 for additional details.

All of Westerville’s drinking water passes through granular activated carbon (GAC) filters during the treatment process. This sustainable resource can be removed, reheated to high temperature to burn off contaminants and then returned to the City for use.

How You Can Help We can all lend a hand to help protect the environment in Westerville:

8 8

•

Clean up litter.

•

Use environmentally friendly materials and follow application instructions carefully for fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides to maximize outcome with the least impact.

•

Never put anything into a storm water drain other than storm water. (A single gallon of oil can pollute 100,000 gallons of water!)

•

Do not disturb or mow the area near stream banks.

This helps limit erosion and filter pollutants prior to entering the stream.

•

Clean up after your pets. Fecal matter can be very damaging to ecosystems.

WESTERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT • (614) 901-6500 • www.wester ville.org

The Westerville Electric Division (WED) launched a holiday light recycling program. In exchange for holiday lights, participants received high-efficiency light bulbs.

Have an old refrigerator or freezer? Let WED recycle them for you in exchange for $50! Learn more at www.westerville.org/takemyfridge.

Each year, the City hosts a Household Hazardous Waste collection in partnership with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio (SWACO) to allow residents to properly dispose of common hazardous waste. Learn more at www.westerville.org/hhw or see page 26.

Spring is the time of year to dispose of your old documents at the Westerville Parks and Recreation Shredding Day, offered free of charge through a partnership with Fireproof Records Center and Community Computer Alliance. Residents may bring up to five boxes for onsite shredding. Also accepted are computer parts and electronics. Learn more on page 22.

Westerville has been a Tree City USA for 42 years due to its extensive Urban Forestry program maintaining around 14,000 trees. The City’s tree canopy helps the environment by improving air quality, filtering dust and other pollutants from the air absorbing carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen.

The City works with residents to keep yard waste out of curb inlets and catch basins, which helps keep fertilizers and pesticides out of our water system.

All hydrants are flushed once a year to help clear the water lines of particulates that may build up over time. Learn more at www.westerville.org/publicservice.

Much of the City of Westerville is accessible on foot or bicycle, including sharrows on roadways and more than 44 miles of recreational trails, allowing residents the opportunity to get some exercise and reduce their carbon footprints.

The City is responsible for storm water management (curb inlets, catch basins, manholes,etc.) to minimize flood risks. Because this system directs rain water into our waterways, it’s important to keep these receptacles free of pollutants. Keeping pollutants from entering our reservoirs and watercourses makes for a healthier environment and protects our drinking water supply.

Protecting our source water leads to better drinking water and lower treatment costs.

Arbor Day is the

WESTERVILLE WAY Arbor Day falls on the last Friday in April, but it’s an everyday way of life in Westerville. In fact, the City celebrates 42 years as a National Arbor Day Foundation Tree City USA in 2018. Cities that have achieved Tree City USA status have met four core standards of sound urban forestry management: maintaining a tree board or department, having a community tree ordinance, spending at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and celebrating Arbor Day. This distinction is held by only 16 communities in the country, three of which are in Ohio.

Trees provide a number of benefits to a community. In a study completed by the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Illinois it was found that trees reduce stress and increase recovery time. Additional benefits of trees to a community: Reduce costs for energy, stormwater management, and erosion control. Trees yield three to five times their cost in overall benefits to the city.

$

25

%

Cut energy consumption by up to 25 percent.

Studies indicate that as few as three additional trees planted around each building in the United States could save $2 billion annually in energy costs.

Boost property values across the community.

Properly placed trees can increase property values from seven–20 percent. Buildings in wooded areas rent more quickly, and tenants stay longer.

Trees have always been important to Westerville and that has helped to shape the community into a “City within a Park.”

The upkeep of Westerville’s canopy is something the City takes seriously, especially as the area becomes increasingly developed. City Ordinance 907.05 requires the replacement of trees that are removed for construction purposes. Trees are often replaced at a 1:1, up to 5:1 ratio based on the size of tree scheduled for removal. While it can be hard to see mature trees removed, or heavily wooded sites cleared, the removal of these renewable resources allows for the dispersing of trees on the development. In some cases replacement on site is not feasible, therefore trees will be planted elsewhere around the City where trees may not be as abundant. A comprehensive inventory of City trees is available for viewing at www.westerville.org/urbanforestry.

“In addition to the inventory of trees, we are working to build an inventory of sites available for planting,” said City of Westerville Arborist, Matt Ulrey. “These sites are prioritized based on the need of the area and the value a mature tree in each site would provide.”

Ulrey encourages residents not to plant trees that will grow tall underneath power lines and be sure to call before you dig, 811 or 1-800-362-2764, to have underground utilities marked.

The City continues to make and consider changes to improve tree care operations for best success of new trees and preservation of existing trees. Additional information on the and Urban Forestry in the City of Westerville can be found at www.westerville.org/parks.

Build stronger ties to your neighborhood and community. Trees and green spaces directly correlate to greater connections to neighbors.

Westerville Zoning Code Update Last spring, Westerville adopted a new Comprehensive Community Plan, the first revision in 60 years. The plan, “Imagine Westerville,” looks at the past, present and future opportunities in each district of the community.

A complementary tool to this plan to help best leverage smart community development and implement long-term planning is the zoning code. The existing Westerville Zoning Code was written in 1978; it too was due for an update. Planning and Development staff have been leading an effort to review and update Westerville’s zoning code, a project in development with community input, multiple Planning Commission meetings and workshops and City Council approval. The zoning code update, now underway, will continue through the year. Its progress will be documented online at www.westerville. org/zoningcodeupdate. Information on opportunities to learn more about zoning, land-use planning and how updates may affect properties in the City of Westerville can be found at www.westerville.org.

WESTERVILLE CELEBRATES

NATIONAL BIKE MONTH IN MAY

Since 1956, National Bike Month has showcased the many benefits of bicycling and encouraged the community to give bicycling a try. Bike Month is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists and celebrated in communities from coast-to-coast. Benefits of bicycling include: saving money on gas, reduced car wear and tear, lower fossil fuel emission (which benefit the environment) and improved personal health.

To kick off National Bike Month, Westerville will be hosting a Bike Rodeo and Community Bicycling event in the Recreation Program facility parking lot, 64 E. Walnut St. on Saturday, May 5. Free bicycle safety checks and e-bike demonstrations will be offered by Trek and bicycle helmets will be given away by the Westerville Parks and Recreation Department (while supplies last).

Other participating vendors will include the Central Ohio Greenways, Franklin County Metro Parks, Ohio to Erie Trail, Rails to Trails Conservancy and the Westerville Bicycle Club. Additional information can be found on page 22.

As part of National Bike Month, National Bike-to-Work Day will be held on Friday, May 18. This initiative originated in 1955 by the League of American Bicyclists and is endorsed by the American Medical Association.

Westerville is a proud bronze-level, Bicycle Friendly Community with more than 44 miles of trails that include two Central Ohio Greenways trails (Alum Creek and Big Walnut Trails), a State trail (Ohio to Erie Trail) and U.S. Bicycle Route 50. As a City within a Park, Westerville takes cycling and its trails seriously!

New Bike Laws in Effect HB 154, which passed in December 2016 and took effect last spring, makes Ohio one of more than half of the states to put in place a three-foot passing law.

Under the new law: “The operator of a vehicle overtaking another vehicle shall pass to the left at a safe distance and shall not again drive to the right until safely clear of the overtaken vehicle. When a motor vehicle overtakes and passes a bicycle, three feet or greater is considered a safe passing distance.”

The three-foot passing distance is a standard supported both by the American Automobile Association and the League of American Bicyclists.

The Ohio Departments of Health and Transportation also have started a “Your Move Ohio” campaign “to encourage active transportation and educate all road users about safety across all forms of transportation.” “Your Move Ohio” is a joint effort of the Ohio Departments of Health and Transportation to encourage active transportation and educate all road users about safety across all forms of transportation.

On the Homefront

HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION HELPS SOME REDUCE PROPERTY TAX BILLS It’s no secret that Westerville continues to be a desirable place to live. If you live in a Westerville neighborhood, it’s likely that in the last few years you’ve witnessed a home with a “for sale” sign one day and gone the next. Regional residential property values have grown over the years. In fact, median home values in Westerville rose just under 19% between 2016 and 2017 according to the Columbus Board of Realtors- the second highest value growth of any Central Ohio community. The most recent reappraisal process conducted in Franklin and Delaware counties found an overall increase in total assessed property valuations of approximately 10.8% in Westerville.

While such success is something to be celebrated, it could result in higher property tax bills for some, despite the state’s reduction factor for property taxes which attempts to offset growth in property tax bills associated with inflation in property values.

Additionally, there are programs in place to assist seniors and residents meeting certain requirements.

Low-income seniors and Ohioans with disabilities with an Ohio Adjusted Gross Income (OAGI) not exceeding $32,200 can reduce their property tax bills with the Homestead Exemption. This exemption allows

W WESTERVILLE TELEVISION

qualified homeowners to exempt up to $25,000 of the market value of their home from local property taxes as long as the value of the exemption does not exceed the value of the home.

According to the Ohio Department of Taxation, taking advantage of this exemption does not negatively impact the local schools system. School districts and local government are reimbursed by the State for the amount taxpayers save through this exemption.

To take advantage of this powerful tax tool, applications for exemptions on real property must be filed through the county auditor on or before December 31 of the year for which the exemption is to be applied. For mobile or manufactured homeowners, applications must be submitted on or before the first Monday in June of the year before the exemption is to take place.

For more information on this tool, visit the Ohio Department of Taxation online at www.tax.ohio.gov or call taxpayer services at (800) 282-1780.

Westerville TV Cuts Cords

It’s no secret media trends have changed radically over the decades. Where cable was once king of the airwaves, consumers are moving to Internetonly households and mobile devices ready for digital streaming services. “Cutting the cord” from traditional cable services in favor of digital streaming can help cut costs for consumers.

The City of Westerville is taking advantage of the benefits of viewers moving from traditional television to other programming resources.To accommodate the growing desire for digital content, the City of Westerville launched Westerville TV as a central hub for in-demand video on an on-demand basis, including footage from Westerville City Council meetings, events,

interesting “behind-the-scenes” stories and more.

The switch will help the City save an estimated $17,000 in public dollars per year.

City staff are working to fine-tune this portal so that it best fits viewer needs. Your patience is appreciated as we work to make Westerville TV the best it can be.

Westerville TV replaced WOCC-TV, also known as Channel 3, operated by and in partnership with Otterbein University’s Department of Television due to a sharp decline in viewership.

FLOODING: Flooding is caused by spring thawing (snow and frozen grounds melting in the spring), heavy rains, snow melt runoffs, flash floods, and mudflows.

Flash floods can bring walls of water from 10 to 20 feet high.

A car can be taken away in as little as two feet of water so do not drive into flood waters.

Communities particularly at risk are those located in low-lying areas, near water, or downstream from a dam.

To stay safe during a flood, go to the highest ground or floor possible.

DRIVING IN FOG: Make your vehicle visible to others both ahead of you and behind you by using your low-beam headlights since this means your tail lights will also be on. Use fog lights if you have them.

Never use your high-beam lights. Using high beam lights causes glare, making it more difficult for you to see what’s ahead of you on the road.

To ensure you are staying in the proper lane, follow the lines on the road with your eyes.

In extremely dense fog where visibility is near zero, the best course of action is to first turn on your hazard lights, then simply pull into a safe location such as a parking lot of a local business and stop.

If there is no parking lot or driveway to pull into, pull your vehicle off to the side of the road as far as possible. Once you come to a stop, turn off all lights except your hazard flashing lights, set the emergency brake, and take your foot off of the brake pedal to be sure the tail lights are not illuminated so that other drivers don’t mistakenly run into you.

City of Westerville lifeguard Jared Iannarino ready to help.

AQUATICS

BECOME A LIFEGUARD WITH THE CITY OF WESTERVILLE

Each year, the City of Westerville hires lifeguards to join the team and keep both the Westerville Community Center Watering Hole and Highlands Park Aquatic Center (HPAC) safe. The job begins a young adult on a journey of responsibility and accountability, experience that will serve them well in future positions.

Being a lifeguard is about being part of something bigger than yourself; it is about being part of a team whose main role is watching out for the well-being of those around them.

Westerville Parks & Recreation is always looking for mature young adults to serve as lifeguards. Training and certification is provided, as are many other enriching experiences. A lifeguard gains important life skills, including problem-solving, working as a member of a team and effective communication skills. They are also part of the safety team that works to keep the pool safe, including acting as a first responder if there is a medical emergency at the pool.

28

“It is the most rewarding experience,” said Matt Berkal, 15-year veteran lifeguard and City of Westerville employee. “Lifeguarding is not just a pool skill, you can use these skills throughout your life.”

Information on upcoming lifeguard certification classes can be found on page 30. Job applications are available online at www.westerville.org/jobs. For additional information, call the Aquatics Manager at (614) 901-6510.

FUN FACTS Famous lifeguards include President Ronald Reagan (credited with 77 rescues in one summer), Vice President Joe Biden, actor Sean Connery (the original James Bond), rocker Gene Simmons (KISS) and actor Vince Vaughn.

Fitness Instructor Robin Andes works with a participant during a BOSU class.

FITNESS &WELLNESS STAYING FOCUSED ON FITNESS THROUGHOUT 2018

According to a report published by the American College of Sports Medicine, two top fitness trends for 2018 are HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training,) which consist of short bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by a short period of rest or recovery and group exercise (instructor-led classes with more than five participants.) The City of Westerville offers a safe, fun and welcoming atmosphere for the community to be active and engage in both trends, as well as many additional avenues of exercise.

“The Westerville group fitness class participants become a family,” said Fitness Instructor, Robin Andes.

“Everyone looks out for each other and share a special camaraderie throughout the session.”

More than 80 group exercise, yoga, Pilates and/or meditation classes, led by certified instructors meet each week. Classes offer a variety of formats and utilize a wide-range of equipment including free weights, resistance bands, gliding discs, medicine balls, BOSUs, Pilates circles, Yoga straps and blocks.

“If you are new to fitness or would like to learn how to incorporate different movements and equipment into your fitness routine, our classes will meet your needs.” said Westerville Parks and Recreation Program Supervisor Megan Arnold. “Once you find a class you love you may enroll for the entire session at a lower rate per class.”

Participants may drop-in to one of the many group exercise classes by purchasing a trial drop-in pass at the Community Center front desk for $7.50 ($5 for residents), based on space availability (no drop in for yoga or Pilates).

“The Westerville group fitness class participants become a family.

Everyone looks out for each other and share a special camaraderie throughout the session.”

SPORTS SOFTBALL LEAGUES

WITH WESTERVILLE PARKS AND RECREATION

“A swing and a drive....awaaay back....goneee” This is an iconic phrase fans yearn to hear during softball season.

When asked why he keeps coming back, Sailor says, “The people! It doesn’t get any better. I just literally love the game and being around others that do too!”

This spring brings the return of Westerville’s popular softball leagues, with more than 11 leagues offered to the community on six different days of the week. These leagues include Coed, Men’s Open (Competitive), B-leagues (Less-Competitive), and Church leagues and play at Hoff Woods Park.

Interested in joining one of the great softball leagues offered this season? See page 47 for details.

Chuck Sailor, Site Supervisor and Chief Umpire in Command has been involved for nearly 50 years with the recreational leagues. Starting back when there were less than five leagues and he was just merely a rookie umpire, Chuck now attends five nights of the week at Hoff Woods Park, supervising the games.

CONNECTING PRESCHOOLERS TO NATURE

With spring weather approaching and winter blues behind you, it is time to get your little one outside.

According a survey conducted by Natural England, fewer children are experiencing nature directly, with the majority of children playing indoors more often than out. While there is plenty to learn while attending an indoor class, a benefit to getting back outdoors to experience new growth, fresh air and warmer weather.

Regular direct access to nature can: Increase self esteem and resilience against stress and adversity.

Additionally, a study completed by the Children and Nature Network shows positive links between direct experiences in nature and children’s mental, emotional and physical health and well-being.

Your preschooler will love nature while they tour a park, learn about how bears hibernate, find fairy hiding places or just explore and possibly develop responsible environmental behavior through the many Westerville Parks and Recreation outdoor classes.

See page 52-54 for a full list of outdoor preschool classes offered this spring.

Improve concentration, learning, creativity, cognitive development, cooperation, flexibility and self-awareness.

Prevent childhood obesity.

YOUTH IMAGINATION AND NATURE IN PLAY

UPCOMING ACTIVITIES These programs were designed specifically for children to expand imaginations and pair activities with movement and physical activity to the many natural activities available this spring with Westerville Parks and Recreation.

With technology use at an all-time high, the expansion of a child’s imagination is of utmost importance. When a child is on a playground or in nature fostering the growth of individual imagination, problem solving and personal development- imaginary play will begin. Outdoor play can promote a sense of curiosity and wonder of the natural world. At the very least, they can help kids to develop appreciation of nature and science.

Nature Playdate, ages 6- to 12-year-olds, pg 19

Sand, water, wetlands, frogs, birds and trees are just a small portion of what can be found in more than 11 natural play areas throughout the City of Westerville. A map and full list of locations are available on pages 98-99.

CREATIVE ARTS

ADULT MAKE TIME FOR YOU

If you’ve ever thought longingly about spending a few hours a week learning something new, being social or quietly creative, this section of the Recreation Guide is for you.

If your own desire to enjoy a program at the Community Center isn’t reason enough for you to sign up, maybe you’ll feel better knowing that science supports the decision as well. According to a study by The Ohio State University, adults who participate in enjoyable leisure activities experience lower levels of depression and improved positive, physical and psychosocial states.

Between kids, work and family obligations - the list of demands for your time may seem never ending. Maybe you stumbled upon this page while looking for an exercise class or springtime activities for an older adult or child in your life or maybe you thought you’d just take a peek for yourself. If glancing at the following pages makes you sigh or think “If only I could,” then it is a sure sign that it’s time to make time for you.

POLICIES & PROCEDURES Fair Share Policy The City of Westerville Parks and Recreation Department is largely financed through City Income Tax dollars. Therefore, to be considered a “Resident” in our registration process, you must live or work full time within the corporate City Limits of Westerville or be a spouse or child of such person.

“Non-resident” applies to all others. Even though you may have a Westerville mailing address or live within the school district, you may not live within the Westerville City Limits.

Resident/Non-resident Rates To receive discounted resident rates, Westerville residents will be required to present identification such as a valid driver’s license, photo ID card, utility bill or pay with a check with an address printed by the bank. Individuals employed full time in the Westerville City Limits will need to provide proof of employment on company letterhead with the signature of the personnel director or president or a current paycheck with their employer’s name and address along with a valid driver’s license. If a household has been granted residency status due to providing proof of Westerville income tax withholding and it is later revealed that a full refund of these taxes occurred, the City of Westerville reserves the right to collect the difference between the resident fee paid originally for the activity or pass and the appropriate non-resident fee.
