A company wants to put solar panels on the carport of the new Bexley police station, but one of the key planners for the station wants to make sure the city doesn't get burned.
At the Dec. 8 city council meeting, David Cohen, with Dovetail Solar & Wind, and landscape architect Mark Scheiber offered the presentation on behalf of Solar Vision, the company that wants to install the panels to generate electricity for the station.
Cohen explained that the company recently obtained grants to allow it to take on projects in Bexley and Athens, Ohio. The Bexley project would entail installing 540 panels on four carports, with Solar Vision paying for the $935,000 construction and ongoing maintenance of the panels and other equipment.
Under the agreement, Bexley would pay Solar Vision for the electricity generated by the panels. Cohen estimated that the panels would generate betwen 15 and 20 percent of the electricity used by the station, and that this would translate into a savings of $2,267 in energy costs in the first year of the contract and $75,000 over 20 years.
Bexley would have an option to buy the equipment down the road, Cohen said.
Councilman Jeff McClelland asked what would happen if better technology became available five or 10 years down the road.
Cohen said big leaps in solar technology are not anticipated.
Lee Nathans, chairman of the Bexley Police Citizens Advisory Committee and for 10 years a leading advocate and planner for the station set to open this month, took exception to Solar Vision's sunny predictions.
He pointed out that many hours went into planning the design of the station, and the city hired the best environmental engineer in the state to make sure Bexley had a "green" building that was LEED (Leader in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. He is concerned that adding the panels at this late date could jeopardize that certification.
The city's architects considered and rejected adding solar panels because they did not believe they would generate enough power to the building, Nathans added.
He called for an independent analysis of all of Solar Vision's estimates for costs, engineering and energy savings, at the expense of the company.
The new police station replaces a structure built during Harry Truman's presidency, Nathans added. In response to Solar Vision's presentation, Nathans repeated the motto of Truman's home state, Missouri: "Show me."
The next step, according to council President Matt Lampke, will be to have City Attorney Lou Chodosh review the contract submitted by Solar Vision. Before council considers the project, the plans will have to be reviewed by the planning commission, board of zoning appeals and the tree commission, he noted.
The city is planning an open house for the new station at 559 North Cassingham Road for Dec. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The station is not expected to be operational until Dec. 31, after which it will be restricted to those with police business.
A ribbon cutting and dedication will be held in the spring.
The new building triples the space available at the current station, built in 1950 as a fire station.

John Matuszak reports: New police headquarters for Bexley police.
It's an all-points bulletin - Bexley will have a new police station.
On Oct. 14, after a decade of debate and indecision, Bexley city council voted 5-1 to approve $850,000 in additional spending for the police station project, paving the way for a groundbreaking in the next couple of weeks.
A meeting of the Board of Control - made up of the mayor, auditor an council president - will be held to award one of seven construction bids for the station.
Council President Matt Lampke cast the lone no vote, expressing concern over the future financing of the $7.4 million station with the city's increasingly tight budget. He re-stated his preference for having residents vote on a bond issue for the station.
Lampke did vote yes to allow the ordinance on the additional funding to go forward on its second reading. Councilman Mark Masser was absent, and six votes were needed to suspend the third and final reading.
Councilwoman Robyn Jones commented that the project has had more than enough discussion and was overdue for a final vote.
The 20,000 square-foot station, replacing a 55-year-old building about one-quarter of that size, is slated to be built on property purchased earlier this year on Delmar Avenue on the city's north end.
Councilman Ben Kessler, who was instrumental in shifting the focus of the project to the Delmar site as a cost-saving measure, pointed out that the current station is "literally falling down" and needs to be replaced.
Kessler added that, regardless of what happens with the station, the city is going to have to make drastic changes in its finances in the coming year.
Mayor John Brennan is convening a citizens task force to study the city's revenue and expenditures, and he expects to have recommendations by next April or May. Those recommendations could include a tax increase request on the ballot.
To get the city through it current budget crunch, council could also enact a temporary reduced income tax credit without a vote of the residents, according to Brennan.
The current budget picture has Bexley's end of the year balance down to $200,000 by the end of 2009.
Mayor Brennan told council he has been able to squeeze spending a little bit more, but he can't get to the $1 million balance Kessler had asked for.
Budget discussions will continue at a finance committee meeting on Tuesday, Oct, 21 at 6 p.m. in city council chambers.
In other business, city council voted 5-1 to defeat a proposed restriction on picketing in front of a specific residence.
City attorney Lou Chodosh determined that the law would be unconstitutional and unenforceable.
The ordinance was drafted after residents complained about protesters outside the home of a Bexley doctor who performs abortions.
Chodosh predicted long, expensive legal challenges on First Amendment grounds if the ordinance passed. And he added that it wouldn't keep picketers from marching up and down the street.
He also pointed out that the city already has at least 12 ordinances on the books to handle protesters who get out of hand.
"Leaving this alone is the best course of action we can take. We can protect our citizens without it," Chodosh said.
Again, Lampke cast the lone vote in favor of the ordinance, arguing that police officers culd be trained to enforce the law.
The measure drew a large crowd during debate last month, before i as tabled for further study. No residents spoke or or against the ordinance at last night's meeting.
An America in Bloom award was presented by ground maintenance supervisor Mark Moore. Bexley received a first-place award among 32 cities entered nationwide for landscaping, and a second-place awardamong six cities with populations between 10,000 and 15,000.
Moore said Bexley needs to mount a large-scale volunteer effort to earn a first-place mention next year.

Human rights activist scolds Ohio Ethics Commission.
In a major report released today, the WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM human rights activist accused the Ohio Ethics Commission of violating the human rights of the children of Bexley Mayor John Brennan.
Additionally, the activist charged the ethics commission with violating other human rights of the mayor and his wife.
Among the several human rights violations listed in the report, the WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM activist identifies the most outrageous as the action of the Ohio Ethics Commission in using public resources to investigate allegations made in an unsigned anonymous letter.
The WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM human rights activist report labels the commission’s conduct as giving weight to “Stalinist-like secret allegations.”
The human rights activist report charged the commission with “basic disregard and contempt for the human rights” listed in the 1948 universal declaration of human rights made by the United Nations.
The report also labels the state ethics commission’s conduct as “an outrage to the conscience of mankind.”
Two of the mayor’s children applied for part-time summer jobs at the Bexley recreation department. They were both employed as counselors and had just begun work when secret charges were made.
The commission’s use of public funds to give life to an anonymous letter is “outrageous.”
The children were employed at the hourly rates of $7.00 and $7.25 per hour. A city official said the pay range for the counselor jobs was $7.00 to $10.00 per hour.
Recreation director Doug Jackson confirmed that the mayor’s children received no preferential treatment. They were placed on a waiting list like other applicants. Hiring from the waiting list was conducted in its usual fashion for part-time summer city employees.
After the irresponsible conduct of the Ohio Ethics Commission came to light, a spokesman for the commission said that it is lawful for a public official’s family members to be employed by a public agency.
Despite the lawful arrangement, and more importantly, despite the presumption of lawful behavior required by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ethics commission took official action based on anonymous allegations.
Compounding the violations of human rights, the spokesman for the ethics commission asserted that Ohio law entitles a parent to the pay that a minor receives.
An anonymous attorney with years of practice in juvenile law, commented that the ethics commission spokesman was misstating basic principles of Ohio law. “Children are not slaves of their parents” the lawyer said. “Whoever says otherwise is ignorant of Ohio law.”
The WCRX-LP, 102.1 human rights activist’s report is a scathing rebuke of the conduct of the Ohio Ethics Commission. The activist’s report lists ten specific human rights violations by the Ohio Ethics Commission in the report. As identified in the report, the violations are:
“Article 1. All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.”
Children of public officials do not lose their eligibility for public employment. In acting on anonymous allegations, the Ohio Ethics Commission is creating a special hurdle for employment for the children of public employees.
“Article 2. A person’s rights and freedoms cannot be limited because of “political or other opinion, … social origin, … birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs…”
The fact that a person is the child of a public official cannot be the basis for any penalty, disqualification or disability to public employment.
“Article 7: All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.”
In using public resources to investigate anonymous allegations, the ethics commission is inciting discrimination against the mayor, his wife and children.
By investigating anonymous allegations, the Ohio Ethics Commission acted arbitrarily and improperly precipitated the employment resignations of the mayor’s children.
“Article 9. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile” and “Article 10. Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.”
“Article 11. Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defense.”
Article 12. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.
Employment is also a basic human right and the Ohio Ethics Commission improperly interfered with the summer jobs of these two persons.
The ethics commission has violated the human rights identified in Articles 21, 22 and 23.
“Article 21… Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.”
“Article 22. Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.”
“Article 23. Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favorable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.”
The WCRX-LP, 102.1 FM human rights activist also cited the Bexley mayor, city attorney and city council as complicit in these human rights violations for not resisting the scandalous action of the Ohio Ethics Commission.
The activist’s report praises the Bexley city staff. They are complimented for their firm respect for the human rights of the mayor’s children throughout this affair.

Bexley, Ohio. An open letter to the community of mayoral candidates.
To the eight candidates seeking the solitary mayor’s desk.
Help preserve the secret ballot.
No yard signs this election. Please.
Don’t ask us to put your signs in our front yards. Help preserve the secret ballot.
One of the many benefits to the long and frequently unopposed tenure of Mayor David Madison was that we didn’t have to choose sides in a very public way in our neighborhoods.
For the mayor’s race at least, we didn’t have to display partisan posters because there was no opposition.
In the current election, it’s almost as if at least one candidate lives down the block from everybody in this little town.
With so many names in the race for mayor, every resident of Bexley knows at least two of the candidates. Many probably know five or six of the candidates. The school-age daughter of one of the editorial collective members even knows one of the candidates. Some members of the WCRX-LP editorial collective have been approached by three candidates with requests to display campaign signs in their yards.
How do you choose which yard sign to display?
That is a choice Bexley residents don’t need this election.
The candidates should let us make our choice in secrecy at the voting machine not in our front yards.
Candidates for mayor, don’t ask us to put your sign in our front yards.
