I think it's on the far uh East End of Columbus I'm not for sure but but again it seems like we are tearing down property and again I believe this home was built in 1924 three bedrooms one bath P this from the Franklin County arti website this afternoon coming in here to City Council in 2004 um 33 2004 the propably look like this and again it looks like the city wants to tear down these properties but again I would like to know why that property was torn down because on the Franklin County artist website looked like it was in uh cut clean crisp uh condition we also talk about affordable housing when property sit like this unidolized and sit into the land bank we don't want property being torn down we want some acquisition to be taking place immediately today that that proper sits to the city of clumb to a land bank and it sits like this and we just want to understand why is this continue going on when we in struggling with affable housing homeless people and population out here and again if we want to do some let's look at some otherized changes now not just having property sit all around town to sit unidolized and unoccupied what really frustrates me today now we have an empty lot and all we want to see is some affordable houses that it used to sit back there in 1924 was built at that time again we want something to be done now with the city of Columbus we don't want vacant land to set and not ready to be to be developed as quickly this city is constantly growing this city is a great opportunity that we need more affordable houses than anything in Columbus Ohio all through state of Ohio thank you for the time but again I would like to know why was that property torn down thank you for your time thank you director director thank you president Harden uh traditionally when we have to tear down a property it is due to the severe structural damage that does not allow it to be rehabbed and sold um we are selling the lot for new single family home

thank you very much council president we forgot to mention this today but this is on the agenda um appreciate it I have one ordinance and rules and reference committee this evening before I introduce the next ordinance I would like to invite Anton white to the podium tonight's ordinance is ordinance 2778 2022 to enact section 23 17.52 harassment of el election officials and to declare an emergency in recent years the role of voting location workers has become increasingly challenging for a variety of reasons including covid-19 pandemic changes in election law and of significant concern a dramatic increase in harassment of election officials Reuters has report reported on more than 900 threatening and hostile messages to election administrators and staff in 17 States similarly the commissioner of the US election assistance commission Benjamin H hoveland commented that pull worker harassment is a real problem and it's taking a toll in the public service servants who run our elections in March of this year the Brennan Center for justice published results of a survey of almost 600 elected officials election officials excuse me that showed the following more than 75 % said threats against election administrators and staff had increased in recent years the percentage saying that they are very worried about political leaders interfering in future elections has nearly tripled since before 2020 more than 34s of local El election officials say social media companies have not done enough to stop the spread of false election information about one in six election officials reported in the poll that they have been threatened person personally in more than half of those inst instances were not reported to law enforcement nearly a third of the respondents said they feel their local government could do more to support them the execution of free and fair elections is an obligation for elected officials but that will become increasingly challenging if residents fear that they will face harassment for their service the code Provisions included in this ordinance seek to proactively enact protections for local pole workers by prohibiting the kinds of harassment that could serve as a deterrent to Residents serving during elections emergency action is requested to immediately enact new section 231 17.52 in advance of this November's general election I know that in August um I got a call because we were there was election of pole workers that were harassed at stclair Baptist Church on uh I'm sorry Salem Baptist Church on Sinclair Road and uh there was some concern because the of the response time of our department and the division of police and of course made a couple of calls and they got out there as soon as they could but um the the threat was real and that individual threatened to come back to uh harm those pole workers later in the day we know that pole workers um can be you know that could be thank thankless work and especially during recent years when political tension was and in many cases still is incredibly High doing all we can to protect pool workers is extremely important regardless of your political affiliation or non-affiliation it is the responsibility of every resident to be mindful of our pole workers and to make sure that we show them the respect they deserve for their service to our community so without further Ado I would like to turn the floor over to Anton white our director of the Franklin County Board of Elections and thank you for joining ing us this evening to share some important words on this legislation thank you thank you council member Rey uh president Harden president proen Brown members of council uh uh council member Remy I want to thank you for your leadership on this and sponsoring this important piece of legislation uh for our poll workers here in the city of Columbus you know as you you just said you know democracy does work best when we have free and fair elections and the Cornerstone sustaining that democracy is to make sure that we recruit train and place ction day poll workers uh here in Franklin County so I want to just personally take a moment to thank uh the thousands of residents who will step up here in Franklin County and answer that call to serve on Election Day this coming November 8th um who will serve as po workers in in our County um because without you we would not be able to administer an election here in the county and we thank you for your service um protecting pole workers and administering Fair uh impartial accurate elections are our top priority um I want to just take a moment tonight uh just to provide some perspective on the impact of this legislation and what that means uh for the poll workers who will serve here in the city of Columbus uh so for the November 8th 2022 general election uh here countywide we we plan to operate 309 polling locations that's throughout the county and our goal and we are currently on track uh to recruit train and place 5,000 pole workers and that's an unprecedented number uh so what that means for the city of Columbus we'll operate 199 polling locations here in the city uh we will place if we um meet our goal of 5,000 pole workers uh we will place some three 3,363 pole workers here in the city of Columbus and that represents about 67% of our total election day Workforce so as you can see um this legislation is important it protects the vast majority of our our pole workers who will serve uh our residents here in Franklin County and and so um again we appreciate your leadership on this council member Remy we appreciate uh council members all what you're doing um to protect our po workers uh not only in the city of Columbus but in Franklin County uh we appreciate you taking this proactive safety step um I appreciate you bringing a Wess to this issue and and really giving our local law enforcement another tool to help protect our pole workers and most of all thank you for

president thank you um director you insinuated your on your way towards 5,000 or the 3300 that you need for Columbus um how's that going in terms of recruiting uh co-workers for this uh General cycle and uh are there is there something that you can share tonight about how if one is interested and becoming a PO worker that they can get that information out sure um thank you uh I always like to get a Shameless plugin anywhere I go so uh anybody that any Resident of Franklin County that's interested in serving as a pole worker can call our office at 614 525 5393 I'll repeat that 614 5 525 5393 uh or you can also visit our website at vote. franklincounty ohio.gov um poorer recruitment um has been going uh very well actually um but we know that we we never we never stop because um circumstances happened we we've had a pandemic you know that's uh impacted our abilities um to to recruit pole workers and so um we're excited about the opportunity that hope reach our 5,000 goal uh and so um we will continue to ask residents to step up and and serve both Democrats and Republicans we we conduct our elections in a bipartisan fashion and so we need both um uh Democrats uh Republicans and um unaffiliated or or Independents to step up for this election your uh selfless plug remind me of a plug of my my own is uh in high school we started youth at the booth and so just a reminder that any young person High School uh senior can take uh a paid day off from school to work at our elections and that's throughout the state of Ohio so I would also encourage young people uh to use that and get

as a PO worker and I loved it I loved um the opportunity I loved my crew that I worked with I worked with veteran I worked with a single mom I worked with it was literally like a cross-section of Columbus on a church in Broad Street on Broad Street and um we got to say hello to every voter that came in people who were voting for the very first time new Americans who were voting for the very first time people brought in their children like it really was an amazing way to spend election day I'm usually an election day voter but I voted early and it was the best uh it was really just the best experience and so I just want to put in a plug for folks that it's another way especially I think after covid if you are an extrovert and a people person this is a even if you're not it's still a
