From the Desk of Mayor Kevin M. Hardman
On the evening of April 11, I witnessed one of the many reasons that I am proud to serve this community
and to call Sharonville home. As rain poured outside, several dozen Sharonvillians converged on our city’s
Community Center. Their reason -- to help another Sharonville family thrust into sudden need. Hundreds
of people around this community answered the call for help by filling a truck full of goods, providing financial assistance and offering services to provide answers to that family’s continuing needs. It was you -- our
residents and businesses -- not asking what government or somebody else can do but what you can do and
then doing it.
The following pages are filled with ways the City of Sharonville serves. Yet every day, there are so many
needs that are fulfilled by our residents, our businesses and local non-profit groups vital to maintaining our
thriving community. Every weekday, Sharonville residents deliver meals and a smile for our city’s homebound elderly through the Meals on Wheels program. Sharonville businesses, like Loth, Inc., grow a culture of service among their employees and executives. Hundreds of elementary, middle and high school
students are educated here in Sharonville about active ways to make other people’s lives better. Church
groups daily reach out to the community through simple ways, like providing a meal for a new mother and
her family.
These unselfish acts of caring and giving are what make a community. Recognizing this, Sharonville’s elected officials and employees are always receptive to ways the City can assist in these good deeds. We are
here to serve. And with summer just around the corner, SharonFest returns to Gower Park. Over the last
two years, this festival has earned thousands of dollars for local charities. The City is pleased to provide
support for this now annual event brought to you by the SharonFest organizers. I hope to see you there
for a little fun and a lot of giving. Because, that is what Sharonville does.

Rumpke Trash Pickup
A few reminders regarding trash pick up:
• All mattresses and box springs out for pickup must be encased in plastic and
sealed with tape (duct tape or masking tape). Bags for mattresses and box springs
may be purchased at U-Haul (11800 Reading Road in Sharonville) for about $3-$5
per bag.
• Also, remember there is a limit of 10 containers or items for trash removal by
Rumpke. The containers cannot weigh more than 75 lbs. loaded, must be sturdy
enough to hold the contents, and must have handles and lids. No loose garbage
is to be set out. No garbage is to be put into cardboard boxes. Cardboard boxes
must be broken down and flattened out and tied or taped together.
• Refrigerators, ice makers, window air conditioners, freezers or any other appliance
containing chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants must have the CFC removed before it will be picked up. The certified technician will need to put a sticker on the
appliance showing the CFC has been removed. Also, tape documentation, from
Rumpke, to the appliance, verifying that a certified technician has removed the
CFC. This documentation may be obtained by going to Rumpke’s website or by
stopping by the Public Works Office. Without this verification, the appliance will
not be picked up. When purchasing a new appliance, you are encouraged to tradein the old appliance.
• Furniture such as desks, chairs, couches, dressers, tables, etc. can be placed at the
curb for Rumpke pick up. Furniture with bed bugs MUST be wrapped and sealed
with plastic. Also, please DO NOT take apart the furniture – leave it in one piece
when placing it at the curb.
Installing a New Driveway or Apron
563-1177
4
You must obtain a permit to install a new driveway from the Sharonville Building Department. The fee to install a new driveway is $25 and it must be inspected and meet
City specifications. There is no fee or permit required if you are only installing a drive
apron; however, you must give the City a 24-hour notice before pouring concrete.
Please call the Public Works Department at 563-1177 before starting a driveway or
apron project for specifications and requirements.
Street Projects for 2013

to Crowne Point Dr.). There will also be various curb and sidewalk repairs throughout
the city where needed.

From the Desk of
Chief Aaron E. Blasky
The City of Sharonville Police Department has a long and proud history of service to the
people and businesses of our community. My recent promotion to Chief of Police has been
an exciting and humbling experience. Throughout the first fifteen years of my career, I have
had the privilege of learning from and serving with the men and women of the Sharonville
Police Department. I have felt and witnessed firsthand the honor that comes with wearing a
Sharonville Police Department uniform.
I now have the pleasure of being in the position to lead the Sharonville Police Department
as we endeavor to continue to improve the high level of service provided to the community.
I look forward to building strong relationships with those we have sworn to serve. Moving
forward, our growth and progress is a challenge I recognize, have prepared for, and willingly
accept. Our ultimate success will be absolute. I hope the Sharonville Police Department is seen
as approachable and that our commitment to building a foundation of teamwork within our
community is apparent.
Police Officer
Ray Hugentobler
Clerk/Dispatcher
Amanda Healey
Additionally, I would like to announce our 2012 Officer and
Civilian of the Year award winners. Each year, the members of the Sharonville Police Department recognize their
coworkers who best exemplify qualities such as integrity,
teamwork, and professionalism. For 2012, Police Officer Ray
Hugentobler was chosen as Officer of the Year, and Clerk/
Dispatcher Amanda Healey was chosen as Civilian of the
Year. I would like to commend both Ray and Amanda for
their leadership and the example they set for the rest of
the department as we perform our duties.
The Sharonville Police Department understands that the recent mass casualty shootings and
armed assailant attacks throughout the country are a source of anxiety for some. The Department of Homeland Security issued a guide in 2008 on good practices for coping with an active
shooter situation, which can be found online at http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/active_
shooter_booklet.pdf. The advice offered in this guide is meant to inform the public if ever faced
with a violent encounter by a gunman. The advice DHS gives is: evacuate, hide out, and take
action. Although this document is titled, “Active Shooter How to Respond,” the information it
offers can be used in any type of violent encounter.
Because the Sharonville Police Department is dedicated to keeping the citizens of the Sharonville community safe, we have recently sent Officer Kevin Dye and Officer Cheryl Price to
A.L.I.C.E. training. A.L.I.C.E. is an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. These tactics can be used in any type of violent encounter and the philosophy is very similar to that of DHS’s avoid, hide out, and take action. We want the citizens in the Sharonville Community to feel safe.
To help reach this goal, Officers Dye and Price are available to
train local businesses and members of the community in these
techniques. We are also hoping to implement this philosophy
in our local schools. Our goal is to empower people so that
they are better prepared if ever caught in a violent
situation. If you are interested in having Officers Dye and
Price speak at your place of business, church, or community
meeting, please contact Officer Price at (513)563-1147.

A Summary of Key Activities and Projects
• Commercial and residential construction approval (permit) fees were up 11% in 2012 compared to
2011. This is in spite of a 50% waiver of all approval fees for Princeton High/Middle School construction activity. In 2012 a total of $57,400 in fees were waived for Princeton construction activity.
• Total Building and Planning deposits in 2012, which includes construction approval, zoning, planning,
and engineering fees, equal $255,308. Without the Princeton construction approval waivers, total
deposits would have exceeded $312k, which would have been the highest annual deposit ever recorded
by the Planning Department. The current highest is $281,983 from 2005.
• Cost of construction (valuation) was also up considerably, again due in large part to the Princeton
school project. 2012 valuation was $69,784,414.00 which is the highest ever recorded in Sharonville,
or at least over the past twenty years of annual reports. It will be difficult to match the 2012 numbers
anytime soon, but if we keep hitting our valuation average of around $30 million, and if we don’t have
large economic development waivers, then our revenues should continue to account for approximately
50% of our operating budget.
• After an exhaustive search, the City hired Chris Xeil Lyons as the new Economic Development Director.
She will be located in the Administration Department but will work closely with the Building and Planning Department whenever necessary. Her first day with the City was on June 11.
• As one of the implementation tasks for the Downtown Strategic Master Plan, the Planning Department
created a new zoning district for mixed use residential and commercial opportunities in the downtown
area. The Downtown Master Plan identified a need for additional residents in the district to support
existing businesses and encourage growth for future commercial opportunities. Sharonville is the only
city along the I-275 northern belt that has a traditional central business district. The unique character
of downtown Sharonville has the potential to attract more of a residential mix, particularly at a time
when people are beginning to turn attention back toward urban and semi-urban lifestyles.
• A number of restaurants were torn down and rebuilt in 2012, to include the Hauck Road McDonalds,
the Hauck Road White Castle and the Waffle House on Sharon Road. • The Code Enforcement Task Force conducted a group drive in the Hilltop area, to include Mefford and
Sharondale. They came away with approximately 33 property maintenance and zoning cases of varying degree. They also conducted a group drive in the west side neighborhood of Valdosta, Algiers,
Continental, etc., to look specifically at Huber Homes rental properties. The drive resulted in approximately 13 maintenance cases of varying degree.
• Twin Creek Preserve is open and available for general enjoyment. The project site is an 8.3 acre wetland and natural preserve with more than 2,100 feet of restored stream channel and riparian floodplain. It also includes an education/recreation trail system to enjoy plant and animal species in natural
habitat. Please take a look at the Mill Creek Watershed Council website for information, updates, and
photographs: http://millcreekwatershed.org/confluence-project.html
563-0033
• Renee Frisbie joined the Planning Department on December 17, 2012 following the retirement of Joyce
Haas. Renee was selected from a list of fifteen candidates provided through the Civil Service process. She finished first on the Civil Service exam with a score of 98%. She has a bachelor’s degree in
psychology, a graduate degree in occupational therapy and four years of previous work experience with
the City of Plymouth, Michigan, first as a finance clerk, then as program coordinator in the recreation
department.

There are some things we can do to make sure the food at our outdoor picnics and
barbeques is safe. Let’s start at home, with the preparation of the food.
•Before touching any food, wash your hands for a full 20 seconds with warm
running water and soap.
•Wash all fresh fruits and vegetables.
•Wrap all raw meats well and place them in a seal tight container to prevent
any juices from contaminating any other food. Place raw meats on a layer
of ice on the bottom of the cooler and under all other food.
•Use a separate cooler for drinks. Separating the drinks from the other cold
food will help protect the food from exposure to warm air when the cooler
is opened and closed.
•Ice used for packing coolers should be separate from ice used in drinks.
•Pack cold food in enough ice to keep them at 410F or below.
•If taking hot food to a picnic, wrap the food well and place it in an insulated cooler or container. Keep hot food at 1350F or above.
•Try to limit the time the food is out of the refrigerator or off any heat
source. Pack the coolers just before it is time to leave for the picnic.
Once a perfect picnic location has been selected, it is time to start cooking!
Don’t forget to pack the sunscreen with at least a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15! In addition, if mosquitoes are out, a good repellant will help protect against mosquito-bourne diseases. Find the best repellant for you and your family by going to cdc.
gov and searching insect repellant.
Have fun and enjoy a safe, healthy picnic.

•Wash your hands! The best way is with running water, soap and paper
towels. If not available, use a hand sanitizer or anti-bacterial disposable
towelette.
•If grilling, remove the raw meat from the cooler once the grill is hot and
ready to go.
•Cook meats thoroughly! It is always best to have a food thermometer, but
if not, ensure the juices run clear and are not pink or red.
•Have a clean plate or container ready to place the cooked meat on and
never use the same container used to store the raw meat.
•Once the meat is ready to eat, take all other food out of the coolers.
•Protect food from insects. Use food tents or napkins over the food.
•Containers of cold food can be placed on top of a larger container with ice.
Push the ice up the sides of the container to the same level of the food to
keep food safe and out longer.
•Sterno and a chafing dish can be used to keep hot food safe. Use caution
if using this method.
•After serving, do not allow cold or hot leftover food to sit out more than
two hours or one hour if the outside temperature is above 900F.

It has been a long winter! Soon, we will be enjoying the longer daylight; the temperatures will be warmer and picnics are right around the corner. Eating outside just
seems to make food taste better, whether it is in our own backyard or in one of our
wonderful parks in Sharonville.
