Description
Athens City Council November 4, 2019
A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
Athens
City
Council,
it's
Monday
November
4th
2019
at
7:04
p.m.
we're
in
regular
session
tonight,
and
our
first
item
of
business
is
establishing
a
quorum.
We
do
have
one
member
of
council
who
will
be
with
us
shortly
and
for
that
reason
we
do
have
a
quorum,
but
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
entertain
a
motion
to
amend
the
agenda.
A
What
we
will
be
doing
is
moving
the
reading
for
the
the
third
reading
for
the
ordinance
on
Bailey's
down
below,
following
our
second
and
first
readings,
of
the
amendments
that
will
give
her
time
to
get
here
so
that
she
can
participate
in
the
discussion
in
the
vote.
Could
I
have
a
motion
for
amending
the
agenda?
Please
so.
A
Think
for
amending
the
agenda
all
right!
Thank
you.
So
thank
you
for
asking
now
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
opposed,
nay
cadet
motion
carries.
We
have
the
disposition
of
minutes
for
the
special
session
of
City
Council
held
on
October
14th,
as
well
as
the
regular
session
held
on
October
21st.
If
I
could
have
a
motion
for
approval
of
those
minutes
so
moved
second.
B
A
We
have
a
motion
in
second
for
approval
of
the
minutes,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed,
nay.
The
motion
carries
under
communications.
We
do
have
three
items
from
the
division
of
Liquor,
Control
and
I'll.
Go
through
those
briefly
council
members
have
all
received
a
copy
of
them.
The
first
one
is
for
the
Nelsonville
grocery,
and
this
is
to
be
an
application
to
act
as
a
liquor
agency,
and
our
law
director
has
investigated
this
for
us
and
that
that
kind
of
agency
status
is
allowed
for
five
businesses
in
the
town.
A
This
would
be
the
second
one
and
the
the
agency
may
sell
beer
wine
and
low-proof
mixed
beverages
for
on-premises
consumption
with
the
appropriate
d-class
permits.
So
this
is
for
the
Nelsonville
grocery,
that's
thirty
west
Stinson,
Avenue,
Gary
and
Jane
Edwards
as
the
owners
and
council
responses
would
need
to
be
postmarked
no
later
than
November
12.
A
The
second
one
is
for
transferring
a
liquor
license
for
the
coroner
on
Union,
which
is
located
120
West,
Union
Street,
and
that
is
transferring
that
liquor
license
an
application
to
transfer
it
to
the
restaurant
known
as
cero.
At
the
same
address
and
that
any
responses
from
City
Council
once
again
would
need
to
be
submitted
by
November
22nd.
A
The
third
one
is
transferring
a
liquor
license
from
Wilson
enterprises
at
33,
north
Court
Street
to
D
and
J
Athens
LLC
at
77
north
court,
and
this
is
for
D
1,
which
is
beer
only
on-premises
consumption
and
a
sealed
container
for
carryout.
It's
also
for
D
2,
that's
wine
and
mixed
for
on-premises
consumption
or
a
sealed
container
for
carryout
and
then
G
3
for
the
liquor
for
on-premises
consumption
only
until
1:00
a.m.
in
the
morning.
The
any
responses
to
that
would
be
mean
to
be
offered
by
November
29th.
D
You
president
Isley,
it's
nice
to
see
full
crowd
here
this
evening
on
the
eve
of
election
night,
I
was
just
encouraging
citizens
eligible
to
vote,
get
out
there
and
vote
tomorrow.
It's
exciting
the
opportunity
to
participate
in
our
democracy,
so
it
was
one
thing
I
want
to
share.
I'm.
Second
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
I
have
than
in
receipt
here
of
many
emails
in
support
of
the
Bailey's
trail
system,
probably
the
most
number
of
emails
I've
received
in
a
very
very
long
time.
D
C
E
You
I
too,
wanted
to
emphasize,
especially
to
this
audience
because
I'm
sure
quite
a
few
of
you
sending
emails
that
I
receive
your
emails,
have
read
every
one
of
them.
I
particularly
took
into
account
those
emails
from
citizens
of
Athens
County
who
live
outside
of
the
city
of
Athens,
who
paid
taxes
to
the
city
of
Athens.
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that.
So
you
understand
your
your
voice,
it's
not
being
discounted,
but
I
didn't
read
them
all.
Thank
you.
F
G
A
So
we
will
now
go
to
ordinances
for
second
reading
and
what
typically
happens
on
both
second
on
the
second
readings
is
that
I
read
the
title.
I
will
ask
briefly.
If
there
are
any
comments,
I
do
not
believe
we're
suspending
any
of
these
ordinances
tonight,
so
it
will
be
a
quick
read
through
on
the
on
those
ordinances.
A
A
Reisner
no
comments
question
one
ordinance.
One
1719
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
auditor
to
reduce
2019
year-end
appropriations
and
is
introduced
by
councilmember
arise.
Now
no
comments
or
questions
1
1
1819
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
Safety
Director
to
enter
into
contract
with
Finley
fire
equipment,
company
Inc
to
purchase
a
fire
pumper
truck
and
declaring
an
emergency
introduced
by
councilmember
Reisner
no
comments
or
questions.
1
1919
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
disposal
disposal
of
a
1997
fire
pumper
truck
no
longer
needed
for
a
municipal
purpose.
This
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Butler.
A
H
Basically,
this
will
be
a
code
change
to
and
to
help
certain
parties
uptown
be
able
to
afford
Uptown.
Perking
first
is
7.05
point
to
to
a
section:
3
low
intensity
zones
and
all
accessible
parking
spaces
will
be
50
cents
per
hour.
So
that's
through
the
whole
city.
It's
the
accessible
parking
spaces.
That's
the
change,
that's
happening
in
the
council
in
the
code
and
then
there
will
be
also
a
change
in
that
parking
will
be
too,
and
so
that
would
be
7.0
5.25.
H
A
E
You
I
think
anything
that
would
lower
the
cost
of
parking
for
the
citizens
of
Athens
is
commendable
and
I
supported
on
I
would
mention
that
my
memory
of
what
happened
when
we
agreed
to
raise
the
hours
was
that
the
reason
being
that
the
city
seemed
concerned
with
some
of
the
workers
in
the
restaurants
and
the
bars
taking
up
the
parking
spaces.
There
was
some
sort
of
statement
by
the
administration
damara
indicating
that
there
would
be
some
concessions
for
those
workers
who
would
have
to
be
paying
increased
costs.
E
C
A
C
Did
member
constitute
and
have
a
conversation
with
city
planner,
Paul
Logue,
and
you
know
one
of
the
conversations
that
we've
heard
as
we
made
these.
The
first
changes
earlier
in
the
spring
or
early
summer
was
the
the
movie
theater
scenario
where
you
go.
Uptown
and
you'd
have
to
leave
the
movies
in
order
to
defeat
the
heat.
The
meter
planar
Loeb
mentioned
that
he
did
reach
out
to
the
movie
theaters
and
did
not
get
a
response
back.
So
there
was
no
conversation
or
communication
about
that.
So
he's
you
know
hearing
hearing
some
of
these
adjustments.
G
So
again,
it's
not
that
much
of
a
change
in
terms
of
revenue
and
it's
affording
people
the
opportunity
to
safely
to
where
they're
not
worried,
well
they're
at
dinner,
or
at
a
movie
to
worry
about
whether
or
not
they're
gonna
come
back
their
vehicle
with
a
parking
fine.
So
it
was
working.
It
was
a
compromise
with
with
hearing
the
citizens
and
working
through
it.
I
think
that's
the
right
thing
to
do.
A
G
Before
this
came
up
in
committee-
and
that
is
that
b3
zoning
is
basically
designed
for
a
suburban
neighborhood,
whereas
a
B
to
D
is
designed
for
an
urban
neighborhood,
and
this
has
been
in
the
Comprehensive
Plan.
It
was
in
the
original
comprehensive
plan
to
rezone
the
north
court.
Street
block
it's
in
the
new
comprehensive
plan
once
that
finally
gets
codified
by
Council,
but
it's
in
there
as
well,
and
so
it's
never
been
entertained
to
remove
it
from
the
Comprehensive
Plan.
G
You
know,
and
it's
also
a
tool
that
we
can
use
to
where
the
businesses
on
the
ground
floor
or
the
first
floor
do
not
have
to
provide
parking,
and
we
know
from
the
parking
study
that
the
North
Block
of
court
Street
from
state
up
to
carpenter,
that
there
is
a
large
percentage
of
parking
available
there
for
those
retail
customers
to
park
a
free
meter.
Otherwise
it
won't
be
free,
a
open,
metered
space
to
be
able
to
go
into
that
business.
G
H
A
F
I
So
what
what
what
I
tried
to
do,
and
and
so
it
kind
of
just
faded
away,
because
people
are
very
concerned,
and
so
it's
back
again
and
I-
don't
disagree
that
perhaps
some
kind
of
special
zoning
should
exist
for
that
block
of
Court
Street.
But
I
am
a
little
concerned
about
the
parking
and
so
I
went
to
court.
I
The
code
office
last
week
to
try
and
find
out
exactly
how
many
parking
places
were
required
for
each
one
of
the
businesses,
but
I
just
did
from
fern
to
carpenter
on
both
sides
and
the
information
I
got
was
not
as
accessible
because
they
they
included
for
the
addresses
both
residential
and
businesses.
So
I
couldn't
come
up
with
the
figure
right.
I
So
what
I
would
like
to
know-
and
maybe
people
on
City,
Council
and
city
administration
could
tell
me
how
many
parking
places
will
be
forgiven
if
you
change
the
zone
from
a
b3
to
a
B
to
D?
And
that
is
my
question.
So
maybe
someone
from
council
can
determine
that
or
find
that
out
from
the
code
office,
I
I
couldn't
get
specifics
on
that.
Okay,.
J
Block
124
Morris
Avenue
here
in
the
city,
represent
myself.
One
point
I'd
like
to
make
I've
spoken
to
support
of
this
at
the
planning
meetings.
But
one
of
the
things
to
keep
in
mind
with
this
is
removing
the
parking
requirements
does
not
mean
that
the
businesses
will
not
provide
parking.
It
means
that
they
don't
have
to
so.
J
If
they're,
a
wise
landowner
or
or
landlord
or
business
owner,
they
may
find
it
neat
that
they
need
to
have
some
parking
available
and
they
will
still
acquire
that
parking
and
provide
it
for
their
customers
or
their
employees
or
their
tenants.
So
all
this
does
is
gives
them
flexibility.
It
says
for
the
ground-floor
business
you
don't
have
to
have
parking,
but
again
they
still
could
do
that
if
they
feel
it's
necessary.
So
it's
really
giving
flexibility.
That's
not
just
car
wash.
A

A
Questions
or
comments,
okay,
thank

It's
been
read
for
the
first
time,
we'll
move
on
to
ordinance
123
19,
and
this
is
an
ordinance
providing
for
the
issuance
of
a
$150,000
of
notes
by
the
city
of
Athens
Ohio,
in
anticipation
of
the
issuance
of
bonds
for
the
purpose
of
renewing
notes
issued
for
the
purpose
of
paying
part
of
the
cost
of
design
engineering
and
the
water
treatment
plant
facilities,
improvements,
project,
3:07
and
declaring
an
emergency
introduced
by
councilmember
Reisner.
Thank.
B
You,
madam
president,
I'm
not
going
to
read
the
whole
ordinance
of
sections
the
title
pretty
much
crystallizes
everything
that
needs
to
be
said,
we're
paying
down
on
a
on
a
note
that
we
borrowed
in
order
to
do
the
planning
for
the
water
treatment
plant.
This
will
pay
part
of
it,
whilst
others,
some
I,
think
probably
by
next
year,
will
be
able
to
pay
the
whole
thing
off.
Thank.
A
You,
if
no
comments
or
questions
we'll
move
on
to
ordinance
120
419.
This
is
an
ordinance
providing
for
the
issuance
of
$170,000
of
notes
by
the
city
of
Athens
Ohio,
in
anticipation
of
the
issuance
of
bonds
for
the
purpose
of
renewing
notes
previously
issued
to
pay
part
of
the
costs
of
improvements
to
this
municipalities,
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
declaring
an
emergency
and
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Reisner.
Thank.
B
You,
madam
president,
this
is
very
similar
to
the
previous
ordinance
only
and
so
the
water
treatment
plant.
This
is
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
again,
this
is
to
pay
the
cost
of
the
design
and
engineering
by
an
amount
of
$170,000
and
I
believe
by
this
next
year
of
the
year
after
the
debt
will
be
paid.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
ordinance,
125
Oh,
any
questions
or
comments
on
that.
Okay,
ordinance,
120
519
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
Safety
Director
to
hire
a
water
laborer
supervisor
at
a
pay
rate
of
up
to
40
percent
through
the
assigned
pay
grade
and
is
introduced
by
the
finance
and
Personnel
Committee.
Thank.
A
Thank
you
if
no
other
questions
or
comments
on
that
one.
What
we'll
do
now
is
move
on
to
the
ordinance
for
third
reading
and
there
is
room
in
here
in
the
front
seat
in
the
front
row
if
you'd
like
to
come
in
and
there's
also
room
over
in
the
back
yeah,
so
I
just
raise
your
hand
if
you've
got
a
spare
seat
buy
yours,
so
somebody
can
sit
and
we'll
kind
of
try
and
keep
track
of
that.
B
B
Discussion,
I
didn't
fine,
yes,
the
reason
I
would
I'm.
Making
a
motion
to
table
is
that
I
would
like
to
have
some
more
information
concerning
the
the
financial
burden.
This
may
place
on
the
city
and
I'd
like
to
have
an
independent
financial
consultant
located
by
the
city,
to
look
at
the
various
data
that
we
have
analyzed
it
and
come
back
with
reports
as
soon
as
possible,
because
I'd
like
to
move
with
this
as
quickly
as
we
can
I'd
like
to
have
it
on
tabled
again
by
our
next
session,
if
possible.
But
that's
that's
my
reason.
B
A
E
Been
sitting
here
poring
over
these
figures,
trying
to
make
sense
out
of
them
and
I
want
everybody
in
this
audience
to
understand
this.
There's
probably
nobody
in
this
room.
That's
opposed
to
the
bailey's
trail
system,
nobody,
okay,
but
what
we're
talking
about
when
we,
when
Jeff,
makes
this
kind
of
motion
to
table
we're
talking
about
looking
at
the
finances
and
seeing
what
it's
really
gonna
cost
him,
what
it's
really
gonna
bring
in
and
I
agree
with
what
he
said.
E
It
may
be
unpopular
to
all
of
you
here
to
show
up
and
hear
this,
but
I
don't
think
we
have
the
information
that
we
need
on
this.
Yet
I've
looked
I've
been
poring
through
this
I
see,
inconsistencies
and
a
short
break
so
that
we
can
finally
get
the
information.
I
think
would
benefit
everybody
in
Athens,
especially
those
people
who
are
going
to
be
paying
for
so
I
would
thank
you
for
your
motion.
K
Yes,
thank
you
and
I
appreciate
everyone's
consideration
in
in
an
adjustment
of
the
schedule
this
evening.
Yeah
I
absolutely
support
the
Bailey's
trail.
This.
The
building
of
this
the
project
and
I
support
the
city
investing
in
this
project.
However,
as
member
McGee
said,
I
also
have
been
reading
reading
thoroughly
analyzing
trying
to
understand
the
numbers
that
have
been
provided
to
us
and
presented
to
us
and
I've
I
found
multiple
cases
where
there
are
inconsistencies
and.
K
This
this
is
a
significant
ask
for
the
city
and
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
absolutely
certain
before
we
enter
into
an
agreement
of
of
what
our
obligation
our
financial
obligation
is,
and
so
thank
you,
member
Eisner
for
I'm
bringing
the
motion
again.
I
also
would
hope
that
we
could
have
a
thorough
analysis
and
have
our
the
concerns
of
the
city's
long-term
financial
obligation
answered
before
our
next
session.
A
B
D
You
president
Isley
I
am
not
in
favor
of
tabling
and
I'm
optimistic
about
moving
forward
I'm
such
of
the
opinion
because
of
the
withdrawal
section
that
exists
within
the
document.
Any
member
may
withdraw
from
Orca
upon
90
days
written
notice
to
each
of
the
other
members
as
why
I
stand
at
the
moment.
Thank
you.
A
And
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
members
here
that
are
interested
in
making
brief
comments,
perhaps
about
Bailey's
and
I
have
discussed
this
with
the
law
director
and
since
you
all
are
here
tonight,
rather
than
taking
the
vote
on
tabling
and
having
it,
everybody
leave
for
the
evening
when
you've
taken
the
time
to
come,
we
would
like
to
open
it
up
for
comments
from
the
public.
What
I
will
do
is
I
will
set
the
timer.
Some
of
you
are
familiar
with
it.
A
Some
of
you
aren't
it's
three
minutes
and
we
really
need
to
honor
that
tonight
so
that
enough
people
get
the
chance
to
make
a
comment
when
you
go
over,
it
makes
it
unfair
to
somebody
else
and
I:
don't
really
need
to
be
in
the
position
of
doing
that.
Trying
to
enforce
that
I
shouldn't
have
to
you
should
keep
track
on
your
own
and
when
the
buzzer
goes
to
stall,
that's
what
no
it
Trembley
did
for
us
last
week
before
we
go
to
the
public
comments.
G
I
know
the
council
has
been
pondering
over
this
for
quite
some
time,
although
this
has
been
a
project
that
everyone
has
been
well
aware
of
for
a
number
of
years
now.
I
also
want
to
state
that
we,
someone
has
been
highly
recommended
to
the
city
as
a
third
party
to
review
the
Performa
that
quantified
Ventures
has
put
forward
and
I
am
waiting
to
get
correspondence
back
from
the
individual
who's
up
in
the
Cleveland
area.
So
someone
highly
recommended
I'd
like
to
work
quickly,
I'm
getting
this.
G
The
Performa
looked
at
and
get
some
answers
for
council,
but
you
know
when
I
look
at
the
the
need
for
us
to
diversify
our
local
economy.
You
know
I,
believe
that
the
Bailey
trail
system
is
one
of
the
ways
in
which
we
can
do
that.
But
I
appreciate
counsels,
conscious,
conscious,
conscious
and
cautious
maneuver
on
this.
A
L
A
A
E
That
the
entire
council
might
not
have
received
the
email
that
had
been
sent
out
originally
from
Seth
Brown
to
don
McCarthy
at
answering
certain
questions
been
raised,
including
the
number
of
expected
visitors,
but
the
very
last
question
was:
can
they
really
opt
out
of
paying
the
money
back,
and
the
answer
was,
since
this
is
not
a
general
obligation
bond
issued
by
the
city
of
Athens,
the
city
can
get
out
of
payments.
There
will
be
political
and
financial
implications
to
such
an
action.
I
have
no
idea
what
he's
talking
about
mr.
E
Brown
appeared
at
the
very
first
hearing
concerning
this
six
weeks
ago
or
something,
and
we
really
didn't
I-
feel
have
the
opportunity
to
get
some
of
those
questions
answered
and
I
don't
care
whether
he
answers
them
by
email
or
whether
he's
here
in
person,
but
I
certainly
would
like
to
know
what
he's
talking
about
when
he
says
what
financial
implications
those
are
so
I
do
want
to
emphasize
that
when
you're
you're
going
with
this
city
can
opt
out,
what
does
that
really
mean?
So,
okay,.
K
Don't
some
member
grace
yeah
and
that's
just
the
eye
I
felt
comfortable
and
confident
with
the
language
of
the
ordinance
thing
and
the
city
can
choose
to
withdraw.
However,
when
I
read
through
all
the
information
in
from
quantified
ventures,
there
is
this:
the
city
can
close
out
the
contract
by
assuming
its
portion
of
the
EIB
through
traditional
debt,
and
that
like
much
much
like
memory,
McGee
I'm
like
well
I
I,
would
like
to
know
what
exactly
they
the
they
mean
by
that.
What
what
is
the
city
obligated
to
in
terms
of
of
the
debt.
A
So
we'll
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
and
what
I
would
ask
people
I
know
you're
in
support
of
the
many
of
you
are
in
support,
I
shouldn't
assume
everyone
is,
but
rather
than
having
18
people
say
the
same
thing.
If
you
have
something
new
to
add
wonderful
and
if
you
just
want
to
sit
and
be
here
and
be
supportive,
then
that
is
fine
too,
and
that's
certainly
an
indication
to
us
with
a
full
house
tonight.
So
don't
feel
compelled
to
come
up
to
three
minutes
to
repeat
what
the
previous
person
said.
M
Thank
you,
I've
mixed
feelings
about
this,
but
I
think
having
an
understanding
of
the
money
and
what
we're
committing
to
what
the
opt-out
would
really
mean.
We
have
a
range
that
we're
paying.
Are
we
going
to
end
up
paying
the
top
amount,
all
the
time
and
I
think
there's
something
to
be
said
for
this
20
year,
commitment
for
council
members
understanding
what
we're
really
getting
into
here.
I'm
in
favor
of
this
but
I
feel
like
as
member
grace
just
mentioned.
M
Some
of
the
language
seems
a
little
contradictory
and
I
think
the
comments
about
the
political
fallout
is
we're
not
the
only
ones
that
are
entering
into
the
same
contract.
The
county
is
doing,
making
the
same
monetary
commitment
and
I
think
we
would
have
trouble
entering
into
any
other
commitments
with
the
county
or
the
Port
Authority
if
they
should
decide
to
take
out
the
bond
on
on
our
behalf
in
the
future,
and
I
also
think
the
fact
that
this
trail
is
not
in
the
city
limits
that
we
we
really
need
to
be
able
to
justify.
M
Why
we're
we're
using
City
dollars
for
this
I've
sat
in
on
all
of
these
meetings
and
I'm,
not
a
financial,
professional,
exactly
but
I
think
I
appreciate
that
the
mayor's
already
made
a
contact
from
the
name
that
recommended
to
us
and
I'd
like
to
see
them
have
an
opportunity
and
counsel
can
move
this
along
as
fast
as
they
want.
Once
we
have
a
better
understanding
of
what's
going
on
being
said,
I
won't
be
overly
upset.
M
A
N
A
N
Good,
okay:
the
projections
are
six
point:
nine
million
dollars
in
government
receipts
through
all
the
different
members
of
Orca,
but
nobody
has
said
with
this
pay
for
success
program.
What
percentage
of
what
the
receipts
are,
what
the
ratio
is
between
government
receipts
and
the
payout
is
the
greater
the
success
theoretically,
the
greater
the
margin
of
payout,
but
nobody
has
set
this
lineal
or
progressive
amount.
Yet
I've
searched
through
I've
had
30
different
documents
opened
on
my
desk
between
browsers
and
paper
documents
and
I
have
yet
to
find
out
anything
delineating
that
specific,
okay.
N
N
Don't
we
have
not
once
mentioned
at
least
publicly
or
any
document
that
I've
seen
offsetting
that
carbon,
and
yet
we
as
a
community
for
the
best
to
be
carbon,
conscious,
environmentally
conscious,
globally,
conscious
diversification,
conscious
of
other
people's
and
everything
else,
all
these
progressive
ideas,
but
nobody's
mentioned
carbon
debt
I
have
gone
through
and
I
have
done
some
calculations
there
is
that
spreadsheet,
which
burnt?
Maybe
that's
not
gonna,
work
out
too
well,
but
I've
minimized
this
to
the
most
conservative
fashion
possible
to
create
the
smallest
carbon
debt.
N
You
possibly
can
four
hundred
eighty
one
thousand
people,
five
percent
of
a
hundred
eighty
one
thousand
coming
in
from
outside
of
250
miles
the
professionals,
the
balance
being
within
a
30-mile
travel
radius
of
any
trail
end
and
the
least
I
can
come
out
with
carbon
offset
that
is
in
photovoltaic
language.
Solar
photovoltaic
panels
is
2.5
megawatts
of
solar
photovoltaic
to
carbon
sensitive
offset.
N
All
that
fossil
fuel
being
burned
by
the
Subarus
and
that's
just
to
break
even
if
we
don't
put
any
carbon
offsets
in
then
there
is
no
break-even
we're
just
going
down
the
pipe
in
the
direction
of
what
some
people
in
the
federal
administration
they
don't
care
about.
Either
I
mean
if
you
realize
that
that
particular
administration
doesn't
think
global
warming
is
real.
So
the
question
is:
does
this
council
and
does
this
community
believe
in
global
warming?
A
F
F
We
had
a
grants
committee
meeting
this
morning
and
we
had
probably
twice
the
requests
for
feeding
people
in
Athens
County,
so
economic
challenges
have
been
with
us
but
seemed
to
be
growing,
especially
for
people
outside
the
fringes
of
the
city
of
Athens
and
I,
see
this
as
the
biggest
opportunity
to
transform
lives
in
Athens
County.
Since
I've
lived
here
in
30
years
to
date,
four
million
dollars
have
already
been
raised
of
grant
funding
no
city
county
money.
We
are
serving
as
fiscal
agent
for
phase
one
of
the
trail,
which
is
being
built.
F
Now
a
lot
of
us
have
been
on
the
trail.
It
is
stunning
it
will
build
14
miles
of
trail
by
the
end
of
December
and
I
have
to
share
with
you
a
story
that
one
of
my
colleagues
called
me
this
morning.
He
wanted
to
be
here
tonight,
but
he
couldn't
be
here:
Reverend
Peter
Galbraith
from
Nelsonville,
and
he
was
with
some
friends
last
week
and
relatives
in
one
of
his
wife's
relatives
lives
in
Alaska
and
was
asking
him
about
the
bailey's
project.
So
this
is
a
national
spotlight
on
Athens
County
right
now.
F
It's
also
been
the
most
collaborative
project.
I
have
ever
worked
on
in
Athens
County.
There
are
probably
15
or
20
individuals
and
organizations
that
are
all
pulling
together
to
make
this
happen,
so
I
think
that's
significant
and
something
to
pay
attention
to
I.
Don't
think
you're
going
to
get
the
level
of
detail
on
the
finances
that
you're
seeking
but
I
admired
your
effort
to
try
and
find
them
because
their
projections,
you
know
so
they're,
not
the
past
I.
F
O
Well,
I'm
Julie,
Paxton,
Pugin,
southern
Maple,
Grove
Way
in
Athens
I
am
a
professor
of
economics
at
Ohio,
University
and
I
study
economic
development
and
poverty
alleviation.
I've
also
worked
at
the
World
Bank
and
have
spent
a
career
working
on
poverty
alleviation
projects
and
I
would
have
to
say
that
this
is
the
most
exciting
economic
development
project
that
I
have
seen
for
Athens
County
in
our
region,
and
maybe
I
mean
it's.
It's
unique
in
so
many
ways
and
I
feel
like
this
pay
for
success
model
that
they're
offering
really
does
reduce
the
city's
risk.
O
There
are
a
lot
of
ways
that
were
protected
from
those
financials
and
the
investment
in
the
pay
for
success
model,
and
it's
worked
in
a
lot
of
other
fields.
This
is
the
first
time
it's
been
used
in
an
outdoor
rec
project
which
is
really
exciting
and
it
has
garnered
national
attention.
So
a
lot
of
people
are
very
excited
about
it.
It
has
all
the
hallmarks
of
best
practices
and
economic
development.
It
is.
O
It
has
the
broad
coalition
that
Susan
mentioned
is
a
sustainable
use
of
our
natural
resources,
unlike
the
extractive
industries
that
have
been
here
for
years
and
years
where
we
take
things
out.
This
is
a
sustainable
use
of
our
beautiful
natural
resources.
It
promotes
health
and
wellness
for
our
communities
and
it
attracts
and
retains
citizens
that
would
like
to
live
in
an
area
with
a
high
quality
of
life
and,
most
importantly,
from
an
economic
development
standpoint.
The
the
benefits
of
economic
development
are
widespread.
This
transcends
just
the
hospitality
industry.
O
All
of
us,
living
in
the
city
of
Athens
and
in
southeastern
Ohio
are
going
to
benefit
from
this
one
way
or
another.
Whether
or
not
we
ride
a
mountain
bike
or
do
like
to
hike
on
the
trails
or
our
bird
watchers.
Even
if
we
never
step
foot
on
it,
we're
going
to
benefit
because
of
the
tax
implications,
we're
going
to
be
raising
a
lot
revenue
through
the
tax
base
for
better
schools,
better
hospitals,
better
infrastructure,
better
services
in
my
class
that
I
teach
we
are
working
on
issues
to
maximize
the
local
benefits.
O
We're
working
with
the
village
of
Chauncey
to
include
affordable
housing
options
through
you
know,
as
the
process
of
gentrification
would
inevitably
occur.
We're
working
with
the
Commissioner
of
New
York
housing
that
is
guiding
the
class
in
offering
a
lot
of
different
options
that
will
help
protect
citizens
in
Athens
County
and
we're
also
working
on
a
historic
signage
throughout
the
trail
system
and
at
the
trailhead.
So
that
will
also
create
a
sense
of
place
and
encourage
our
visitors
to
visit
other
areas
within
Athens.
E
O
P
P
Think
in
my
email
it
was
very
clear
that
for
our
business
to
remain
relevant
for
the
long
term,
Athens
has
to
be
relevant.
I.
Look
at
this
as
a
project
that
couldn't
meet
those
standards
integrator.
So
so,
from
my
standpoint,
I
think
you've
made
a
huge
mistake
in
tabeling,
something
that
has
momentum
behind
it.
P
P
Q
Name
is
Chris
Monday,
9,
Garfield,
Avenue
I
have
no
interest
in
this,
though,
when
I
heard
about
it,
I
did
consider
trying
to
buy
something
and
chauncey,
but
that's
life,
I
fantasize
about
things
all
the
time
so
anyway,
I
think
that
it's
a
great
project
I
look
forward
to
it
coming
tabeling
it
for
what
you
guys
say
would
be
like
a
week.
The
an
attempt
to
do
the
table
it
for
a
week
to
like
get
something
straight
for
money.
That's
going
out
of
our
town.
Q
It's
a
week.
It's
I,
I
appreciate
it.
I
appreciate
those
of
you
who
want
to
consider
this,
because
even
I
mean
even
if
every
person
in
here
stands
up
and
says
that
the
developers
are
100%,
trustworthy
I
mean,
as
we've
seen
blatantly
time
and
time
again
is
that
they're
not
always,
and
if
there
is
something
hidden
in
it.
Q
If
there
is
something
that
doesn't
make
sense,
highly
appreciate
that
you
guys
are
trying
to
make
sense
of
it
and
that
you're
trying
to
hurry
because
it
is
an
awesome
project,
so
one
week's
time
is
doesn't
seem
like
as
a
big
of
a
disaster
as
what
I
feel
like
some
people
are
making
it
out
to
be
I
appreciate
your
comments
about
being
concerned
about
gentrification,
because
it
does
seem
inevitable.
I
worry
about
it
and
I'm
glad
that
people
are
thinking
about
it
and
hoping
to
prevent
it
on
a
massive
scale.
I
Jonah's
gonna
ask
you
56
9th
Street
and
I'm,
not
representing
anyone
but
myself,
except
perhaps
maybe
the
20
25
people
that
I
talked
to
in
the
last
several
weeks,
or
many
social
and
community
organization
events
that
have
said
to
me.
What
is
this?
Ninety
thousand
dollars?
What
is
this
about
so
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
some
people
have
had
years
to
work
on
this
and
have
engaged
them
in
this.
I
These
are
great
kind
of
projects,
but
the
fact
that
many
many
people
in
our
town
are
hardly
aware
that
this
is
even
going
on
and
so
I
came
tonight
to
voice
some
of
their
concerns.
I'm
running
in
reference
to
ordinance
zero
one,
one,
zero
one,
nine
providing
fun
funding
for
the
Bailey's
trail
system
in
general.
I
have
no
objection
to
the
establishment
of
this
particular
system
trail
systems.
I
What
troubles
me
is
how
and
why
city
cops
on
the
city
of
Athens
administration
could
authorize
an
annual
commitment
of
ninety
thousand
dollars
for
20
years.
Several
financial
consequences
come
to
mind.
State
funding
could
continue
to
dwindle.
The
decrease
in
oh
you,
student
enrollment,
will
cause
a
decrease
in
City
payroll
taxes.
Both
students,
staff
and
faculty,
and
with
the
cost
of
health
care,
increasing
Athens
payroll
costs,
will
continue
to
increase.
With
this
in
mind,
is
it
fiscally
prudent
to
commit
city
funds
to
Bailey's
trail
system?
I
I
Installing
motion
sets
solar
lights
in
areas
of
the
city
with
limited
streetlight
visibility,
although
the
city
would
like
to
purchase
the
AEP
streetlight
system
as
a
solution
to
the
problems
with
current
streetlights,
this
is
going
to
take
some
time
and
walking
at
night
in
some
neighborhoods
is
scary
when
streetlights
are
not
functioning.
So
we
could
talk
about
environmental
and
sustainability,
promoting
the
use
of
reusable
shopping
bags
for
providing
free
use,
reusable
bags
with
the
city
slope
logo
would
really
go
a
step
towards
working
out
the
elimination
of
plastic
bags.
I
I've
got
20
seconds,
left,
Johnny,
actualizing
on
city
properties,
the
planning
of
native
tree
shrubbery,
grasses
and
flowering
plants
to
promote
a
healthier
ecosystem
for
bees,
insects
and
butterflies.
As
representatives
of
our
city,
I
am
sure.
Some
of
these
items
are
also
on
your
wish
list
and
I
hope.
You
weigh
them
against
a
20-year
indebtedness
that
this
ordinance
would
impose.
Thank
you.
R
My
name
is
Meredith
Erlewine
I
live
at
one
Brian
Road
here
in
Athens,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself,
but
I
should
say
that
I
own
Athens
bicycle
here
in
Athens,
Ohio
I've
lived
in
Athens
since
1986
I
love,
but
I
discovered.
My
love
of
mountain
biking
right
here
in
Athens
in
1991
and
I've,
been
obsessed
ever
since
I'm
in
support
of
the
Bailey's
trail
project
and
I
have
a
few
comments.
R
I'd
like
to
make
as
a
certified
mountain
bike,
tour
guide
and
credentialed
mountain
bike
skills,
instructor
I've
been
providing
tours
and
clinics
in
destination
mountain
bike
locations.
Since
the
early
2000s.
From
my
experience,
I
can
tell
you
that
mountain
bikers
travel
to
great
places
so
that
they
can
enjoy
beautiful
forests
and
practice
their
sport.
They
like
to
visit
new
towns,
they
like
to
meet
new
people
and
they
like
to
get
to
know
new
trail
systems,
mountain
bikers,
rent
hotel
rooms,
we
shop
at
grocery
stores.
We
fill
up
at
gas
stations
in
our
Subarus.
We.
R
And
we
pay
local
people
for
services
in
2019
alone,
I've
personally
spent
44
nights
out
of
town
for
the
purpose
of
my
tour
guiding
and
clinic
stuff
that
I
do
I've
camped,
I've,
rented
hotel
rooms
and
cabins
I've
stayed
in
lodges
and
I've
read
and
rented
Airbnb
I've
spent
money
everywhere.
I
went,
and
my
point
isn't
my
own
personal
impact
as
like
one
mountain
biker,
but
that
every
place
I
went
there
were
between
20
and
12,000
other
mountain
bikers
doing
like
what
we
love
to
do.
R
There's
mountain
bikers
doing
this
all
over
the
country
all
over
the
world.
All
the
time
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
them
here
and
reap
the
benefits
in
my
own
community.
That
I
see
happening
all
these
places
that
I
go
visit.
There's
not
very
many
places
in
the
country
with
such
a
huge
piece
of
land
available
as
a
blank
slate.
The
Bailey's
has
the
potential
to
offer
more
mileage
of
trails
than
anywhere
else
within
hundreds
of
miles.
That
is
a
unique
thing
to
mountain
bikers,
I
can't
think
of
anywhere
else.
R
I've
been
in
any
of
my
28
years
of
mountain
biking.
That
has
anything
close
to
what
we
could
create
here
and
with
so
many
major
partners
at
the
table,
ready
to
contribute
who
have
been
working
for
so
long
I
think
it
would
be
ashamed
to
purposely
purposefully
vote
to
miss
this
opportunity
and
of
course,
I
was
thinking
about
this
as
a
vote
pitch.
Not
a
table
comment.
I
hope
that
everybody
here
has
a
passion
that
takes
you
places
and
gives
you
satisfaction.
R
It
could
be
hunting
shopping,
running
music,
art
watching
your
kids
play
soccer
or
hockey
anything
that
takes.
You
places
that
when
you
get
there,
you
experience
the
fellowship
and
the
shared
excitement
that
mountain
bikers
do
when
we
visit
a
mountain
biking,
destination
and
everywhere,
I've
gone
for
the
past
year
or
more
mountain
bikers
from
all
over
the
Midwest
and
the
East
Coast
has
said
Meredith.
When
is
the
Bailey's
going
to
be
done,
I'm
ready
to
come
visit
you
in
Athens?
R
J
Rob
black
124
Morris
Avenue
here
in
Athens,
Ohio
I,
am
an
officer
in
the
bicycle
club
here
serve
on
several
other
bike
committees,
so
involved
in
the
biking
community.
Here,
like
actively
I,
have
already
invested
in
a
property
in
Chauncey
by
the
way
to
reveal
that
so
I
purchased
a
small,
very
small
house
and
I'm
currently
remodeling
it.
So
in
order
to
have
renters
in
it,
but
I
really
want
to
say
that
one
thing
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
we
cannot
pass
up.
J
We
should
move
quickly,
I,
don't
want
to
say
you
should
not
table.
Of
course,
we
should
probably
think
things
through,
but
I
don't
want
to
see
a
delay
I'm
a
little
afraid
that
if
we
reset
the
clock
here
we're
good
to
go
back
through
three
readings,
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
do,
but
it
may
not
be
just
a
week,
delay
that
might
that's
another
month
or
month
and
a
half
at
least
if
we
have
to
reset
the
clock
on
the
readings.
J
There's
other
funding
waiting
on
this.
Even
the
county
is
sitting
there
waiting
for
this
to
be
passed
to
make
their
move
with
the
funding.
So,
let's
do
it
as
quickly
as
we
can.
The
other
thing,
I
like
to
say,
is
there's
already
things
in
the
works
because
of
the
potential
of
this
project.
Tomorrow
night,
the
Bicycle
Club
is
organizing
a
meeting
to
put
together
a
mountain
bike
festival
trying
to
determine
what
the
scope
of
that
might
be.
The
four
that
are
there.
We.
S
Have
a
sustainable
trail
development
course
in
our
curriculum,
so
they
will
be
highly
utilized.
We've
already
started
partnering
with
the
Appalachian,
Conservation,
Corps
and
other
groups.
So
again
this
is
happening.
You
know
some
of
the
the
other
things
that
are
exciting
our
Spurs
and
and
bike
path.
Connection
to
Hocking
College
we've
got
a
new
Nature
Center,
that's
that's
coming
online
right
on
campus
and
so
there's
possibilities
of
connecting
to
don't
ville,
trailhead
and
and
just
the
the
programming
alone
in
terms
of
interpretation.
S
You
know
you
mentioned
birding,
but
that
doesn't
have
to
go.
You
know
on
it's
separate.
You
know,
I
see
that
our
eco
guides,
my
students
who
know
their
birds,
their
trees,
their
ecosystem.
You
know
guiding
Bound
bike
tours
and,
and
so
you
know
that
including
other
programs
working
with
kids
doing
bicycling,
you
know
events
and
things
like
that
and
I
just
think.
There's
such
a
community
development
health.
You
know
we
put
care
for
our
environment
care
for
people
and
character
a
fair
way
to
access
these
dollars,
and
this
experience
I
think
it's
it's
a
win.
T
I've
spent
time
up
here
in
front
of
this
committee
in
front
of
this
room,
and
many
of
you
talking
about
various
case
studies.
I
am
not
here
today
to
read
it
reiterate.
Those
as
you
are
very
well
aware.
I
have
shared
many
of
those
with
you.
I've
offered
myself
up
to
answer
any
questions
to
engage
in
dialogue
because
I
think
that
is
an
important
part
of
this
process.
T
This
project
has
been
in
front
of
the
community
for
almost
four
years
now
and
has
been
brought
up
in
front
of
City
Council
for
probably
the
last
year
and
a
half
and
pay
for
success
as
well,
whether
you
table
it
or
not.
That
is
your
choice.
That
is
your
vote,
but
I
am
here
to
tell
you
that
what
else
do
we
have
coming
down?
The
pike
that's
going
to
bring
people
here.
T
What
else
do
we
have
if
there's
another
project
that
you
all
have
been
working
on,
that
have
been
created?
Then
please
share
and
if
it's
something
I
believe
in
I'll
stand
behind,
you
I
will
work
with
you
on
it.
This
project
has
garnered
many
many
people
and
many
different
organizations,
and
most
of
them
are
not
trail
users
and
will
not
use
the
trail,
but
they
know
something
good
when
they
see
it.
T
We
care
for
the
betterment
of
this
community
and
they
are
not
asking
you
or
wanting
you
to
do
anything
that
will
put
this
community
or
this
city
in
a
harm's
way.
Financially,
they
want
what's
best
for
this
community.
I
ask
you,
as
someone
said
earlier,
there
are
many
reasons
to
say
no,
but
it
takes
guts
and
courage
to
say
yes,
we
might
not
know
exactly
what
the
future
holds.
T
No
one
can
predict
that,
but
we
can
make
informed
decisions
and
we
can
think
about
and
look
at
other
places
who
have
done
exactly
what
we
are
trying
to
do
and
we
have
seen
that
success.
Yes,
there's
many
different
ways
to
measure
it,
but
we
know
that
spending
comes.
We
know
that
people
come
to
this.
We
have
put
many
things
in
place
to
ensure
that
people
will
come
in
play
come
here,
so
whether
you
do
it
or
not,
just
know
that
a
lot
of
people
care.
U
Hello
I'm
Terry
Boyle
I'm,
representing
the
Athen
City
County
Health
Department.
Our
address
is
2
7,
8,
West,
Union
Street.
No
financial
involvement
in
this,
but
I
have
had
the
great
opportunity
to
be
involved
in
some
of
the
planning
meetings
with
this
representing
health.
So,
like
I,
said,
I
work
with
the
health
department
I'm
a
health
educator
there
I
coordinate
a
grant
called
creating
healthy
communities.
I'd
stood
here
before
in
front
of
you
I'm
here
again
today
again
to
urge
you
to
support
the
Bailey's
trail
system.
U
I'm
gonna
try
to
keep
my
statement
short
and
to
just
three
points.
First
I've
seen
a
lot
of
confusion
for
funding
for
projects
in
our
county.
Lately,
I've
seen
this
in
the
newspaper
on
social
media
and
Facebook
comments,
and
even
in
person
with
our
community
members
and
I,
wanted
to
shed
light
on
this,
because
I
think
it's
very
important
to
understand
and
it's
very
important
that
the
community
is
provided
the
correct
information
so
starting
out
the
Chauncey
bike
spur
funding.
I'm
is
not
coming
from
taxpayers
dollars.
U
That's
coming
from
Oh
dots
tap
programming,
which
is
Transportation
Alternatives
program.
I.
Think
there's
been
a
lot
of
confusion
about
that.
They
get
that
funding
from
the
gas
tax.
The
funding
we
are
requesting
of
you
today
is
not
directly
coming
from
our
residents
dollars.
It's
coming
from
transient
guests
tax
dollars
from
people
visiting
our
area,
staying
in
hotels,
arabes,
etc,
very
specific
funding
sources
for
very
specific
and
important
projects.
U
Secondly,
the
Bailey's
trail
system,
along
with
its
sister
projects
as
I
like
to
call
it
like
the
Chauncey
bike,
spur,
will
provide
direct
benefits
to
our
citizens.
It
will
provide
an
access
route
to
food,
medical
services,
community
resources,
jobs
and
more
that's
huge
for
our
area,
I've,
driven
on
State
Route
13
many
times
and
passed
people
on
the
side
of
the
road
in
a
wheelchair
and
a
bicycle
walking
you
can
actually
get
on
Google,
Maps,
I,
don't
know
if
they've
updated
it
and
see
people
photographed
doing
this.
U
We
know
this
is
not
safe
and
we
know
it's
happening
all
over
our
County
and,
unfortunately,
there's
been
accidents
resulting
in
deaths
and
injuries
from
lack
of
infrastructure
to
support
these
alternate
forms
of
transportation.
This
project
will
make
our
residents
for
especially
because
of
all
the
sister
projects
that
are
attached
to
it
and
lastly,
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
is
an
incredible
opportunity:
the
funding
options,
partnerships,
national
attention,
Community
Partnership
and
growth-
may
not
come
around
again
for
our
area
with
an
oniony
community
like
this.
U
So
please
don't
ignore
the
benefits
this
will
have
on
our
community.
The
valleys
trail
system
will
create
opportunities
for
better
health
outcomes,
economic
development
and
transportation
and
I
just
say
this
too,
because
I
know
the
economic
development
and
tourism
is
important,
but
I
don't
want
you
to
miss
the
opportunity
it
provides
for
our
own
residents
here
in
our
county.
We
have
a
chance
to
impact
that,
and
that's
it.
Thank
you.
H
A
We
have
four
in
support
of
tabling
two
against
one
abstention,
so
the
motion
has
been
table
or
the
the
ordinance
has
been
tabled
and
if
I
understand
from
councilmember
reissner's
comments
as
well
as
others.
There
is
interest
in
moving
that
forward
as
quickly
as
we
can
to
answer
some
of
the
questions
about
the
financial
obligation
for
this,
and
you
have
made
contact
mer
Patterson
with
an
independent
advisor.
A
A
K
K
K
At
the
third
reading,
so
just
for
those
who
are
concerned
about
it
being
an
extended
delay.
If
we're
able
to
receive
the
answers
on
the
the
city's
financial
obligations
and
exactly
how
the
funding
structure
works,
it
could
be
brought
back
at
third
reading.
It
would
not
start
over
at
first
reading
correct.
A
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion.
Do
we
have
a
second
okay
motion
and
second
for
the
appointment
of
an
alternate
to
the
housing,
Appeals
Board,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed,
nay,
thank
you.
It's
been
approved.
We
now
have
suggestions
for
three
new
members
of
the
disabilities
Commission
councilmember
McGee.
Thank
you.
I.
E
Would
first
say
that
the
disability
Commission
of
which
I'm
a
member,
had
the
opportunity
to
do
some
interviews
for
the
committee
Commission
and
we
came
up
with
three
excellent
nominations
who
have
been
recommended
by
the
mayor.
They
would
include
some
more
add
our
who
is
say
her
own
words,
goal-oriented
and
energetic
dual
master's
degree
graduate
in
counseling
and
higher
education.
We
were
quite
impressed
and
believed
that
he
would
bring
some
good
qualities.
E
A
Thank
you
have
a
motion.
We
have
a
second
second,
okay,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed,
nay.
The
motion
carries
and
they've
been
appointed,
thank
thanks
to
both
to
all
of
those
people,
those
four
individuals
for
their
service
and
for
announcements
for
the
committee
meeting
next
week.
If
committee
chairs
could
check
with
all
due
speed
to
make
sure
whether
or
not
they
have
committee
meeting
committee
items
for
discussion,
finance.

The
other
was
East
Union
Street
from
court
to
basically
to
the
top
of
Jeff
Hill
to
University
terrorists.
We
requested
that
they
allow
us
to
shift
that
particular
Street,
that
being
east
Union
to
Washington
Street.
They
have
agreed
so
now,
it'll
be
Washington
between
college
and
Congress
and
State
Street
between
College
and
Congress
as
well.
So
we're
quite
pleased
that
they
did
authorize
us
to
go
ahead
and
shift
that
and
to
remind
council
for
the
tap
grant.
G
It
was
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
a
a
five
percent
match
on
the
city
side
and
the
safety
grant
was
five
hundred
and
five
thousand
dollars
again
a
five
percent
match
with
that
which
we'll
start
budgeting
for
that.
Looking
into
the
2023
construction
season,
it'll
be
not
too
dissimilar
from
what
council
has
seen
on
the
West
Union.
G
Improvements
between
college
are
between
court
and
Congress,
except
larger,
so
it'll
be
a
really
nice
enhancement
of
the
Uptown
area,
with
the
uptown
decorative
lighting
on
state
and
Washington
Street.
We're
also
exploring
some
other
things
again.
No
promises
Council,
but
we
are
exploring
to
see
we
will
do.
G
A
You,
if
no
other
announcements,
we
always
have
an
opportunity
for
citizens
to
speak
on
legislative
items
and
city
services
and
that
were
not
covered
on
the
agenda.
So
if
there's
anything
different
that
we
haven't
mentioned
previously,
you
could
have
up
to
three
minutes.
Okay,
if
not,
we
could
have
a
motion
for
adjournment.
