Description
Athens City Council February 25, 2020
A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
F
and
City
Council,
it's
Monday
February
24th,
7:00
p.m.
and
we
are
having
a
committee
meetings
tonight.
I
will
note
that
we
have
one
minor
modification
on
the
agenda
under
transportation.
We
do
have
some
additional
information
about
the
upcoming
closing
for
the
Richland
pedestrian
passageway,
which
we
think
is
important
to
give
that
information
out
tonight,
rather
than
wait
till
next
Monday
when
it
already
be
closed.
So
we'll
start
off
a
city
and
safety
services,
councilmember
grace
chairs
this
and
is
joined
by
councilmembers
Paul
and
Clodfelter
Thank.
B
You
president
Isley,
the
first
item
on
our
agenda
is
to
talk
about
Athens,
beautification
2020,
and
we
are
fortunate
to
have
some
guests
here
to
talk
to
us
about
that.
I
believe
Martina
Costanza,
as
is
going
to
be
our
guest
speaker.
So
if
you
would,
please
come
to
the
podium
and
introduce
yourself
and
sign
in
please
if
you
would.
C
D
C
What
we
want
to
talk
about
our
mission
is
to
focus
on
Athens
beautification
throughout
the
month
of
April,
and
so
Athens
beautification
month
would
be
an
opportunity
for
collaboration
between
the
community
and
the
university
and
to
combat
the
climate
Craig.
We
want
to
do
that
through
some
climate
change
actions,
including
tree
planting,
the
removal
of
invasive
plants
and
also
planting
pollination
gardens.
These
efforts
would
all
go
towards
making
Athens
County
more
resilient
and
more
sustainable,
and
then,
in
order
to
reach
that
goal,
we
have
written
up
some
requests
for
the
city
of
Athens.
D
D
The
second
one
is
to
the
city
of
Athens
will
support
Athens
beautification
by
supply
staff
time
to
this
effort,
and
we
would
like
to
ask
for
the
use
of
the
keep
southeast
Ohio
beautiful
trailer
for
the
use
of
tools
and
equipment.
We
also
invite
the
partnership
of
the
Athens
shade
tree
Commission
on
the
Athens
Arbor
Day
committee,
to
assist
with
providing
tree
planting
instruction
and
requirements
for
care
and
feeding
the
trees.
We
would
like
to
request
that
at
April
2020
be
known
as
Athens
beautification
Month
for
our
city
and
larger
community.
Thank
you.
E
Think
this
sounds
absolutely
wonderful
and
I
actually
ran
on
most
of
those
issues,
so
I'm
totally
in
agreement
with
you.
My
only
question
at
this
point
is:
would
you
be
open
to
having
community
volunteers
as
well
or
do
you
want
to
just
have
those
few
committees
and
then
have?
Oh
you,
students
doing
that
for.
C
F
E
G
G
During
that
month,
there's
gonna
be
opportunity
for
community
folk
to
be
able
to
get
a
tree
that
we've
we've
gotten
two
hundred
and
sixty
trees,
or
something
that
we've
gone
ahead
and
purchased.
So
we
are
going
to
be
having
a
tree
giveaways
and
tree
demonstration
on
how
to
care,
feed
and
plant
them,
and
then
I
also
think
that
if
people
don't
have
the
opportunity
or
can't
plant
their
trees,
there
will
be
opportunities
for
other
people
of
our
community
to
go
in
help.
G
C
Say
typically,
whenever
we
like
organize
an
event
and
we
invite
people
to
come,
I
think
we
usually
have
around
15
people
that
will
show
up-
sometimes
it's
less,
sometimes
it's
more
but
I.
Think
there's,
usually
a
good
turnout
with
students
and
I
think
that
if
we
were
also
involving
community
members,
we'd
be
able
to
have
even
more
well.
H
When
you
mentioned
eradicating
invasives
it's
music
to
my
ears
with
that
said,
you
know
we
have
the
opportunity
to
bring
back
a
riparian
forest
just
south
of
the
community
center,
which
one
of
the
big
tasks
that
we
have
ahead
of
us
with
that
project
is
the
removal
of
invasives
or
at
least
starving.
It's
a
long
term
project,
but
I
would
love
to
have
you
helping
with
that,
and
I
will
also
open
the
door
for
you
to
come
to
our
meeting
that
we're
having
at
noon
on
March
12th
to
talk
with
ODNR
and
Bonner.
H
She
has
been
a
real
champion
alongside
those
of
us
who
have
been
involved
with
being
able
to
use
this
particular
16
acre
tract
of
land,
to
bring
it
back
to
life
and
get
the
trees
a
fighting
chance
with
getting
rid
of
a
large
amount
of
invasives
that
are
that
are
throughout
that
whole
space.
So,
if
you'd
like
to
jump
in
earlier
than
and
attend
that
meeting,
I
would
encourage
every
one
of
you
to
come
and
kind
of
hear.
A
This
is
it's
an
exciting
opportunity.
I
know
that
been
the
past
barb
Harrison
has
helped
us
coordinate
beautification
day
when
we've
had
as
many
as
a
thousand
students.
So
if
I
understand
now
we're
expanding
to
a
month
beautification
month
and
it's
our
job
then
to
identify
locations,
since
you
all
have
ordered
the
trees
so
I'm
assuming
then,
as
we
identify
locations,
will
be
notifying
you
barb,
so
that
you
can
then
your
office
and
the
two
of
you
can
help
us
in
recruiting
than
the
volunteers.
Do
I
have
the
process
kind
of
right.
B
Thank
you,
I
think
it
would
be
great
for
us
to
have
maybe
a
sit-down
meeting
between
University
and
city
folks
to
identify
some
times
and
locations
and
ways
of
advertising
hey.
We
need
volunteers.
This
date,
this
time
to
both
community
members
and
I
know
in
past,
when
it's
beautification
day,
we've
had
teams
of,
like
people
form
teams
to
go
volunteer
for
Athens
beautification
day,
and
it's
just
rather
than
everybody
going
all.
B
G
And
I
want
to
bring
Sam
into
this
because
something
else
that
we've
been
doing
with
beautification
day
month.
Time
is
working
with
you
guys,
making
a
master
list
so
that
we
can
coordinate
all
the
opportunities
for
people
to
come
out
and
do
great
stuff
for
our
community
and
the
crisis
emergency.
This
is
directly
related
to
the
crisis
emergency.
That's
why
it's
being
planned
the
way
it
is.
B
I
I
G
I
would
I
would
suggest
that
we
either
forward
it
to
the
Athens
Arbor
Day
committee,
because
and
Adam.
This
is
about
another
thing
that
we've
been
doing.
We've
been
identifying
various
spaces
over
the
last
year
year
and
a
half
and
then
mapping
them
out.
So
if
we
can
put
those
all
on
that
central
mapping,
that
would
probably
be
the
best
the
best
out
there.
So.
G
And
that's
the
other
thing
it
will
be
in
for
on
the
website
where
the
city
website,
where
be
the
opportunities
for
us
being
able
to
put
out
the
trees
that
we
have
purchased
and
some
of
the
opportunities
to
pick
them
up
and
other
programs
rhyme
along
with,
though
you
or
the
things
that's
going
on.
So
my.
J
A
E
C
Don't
think
we
have
any
specific
plans
regarding
that
yet
I
think
that
would
also
be
something
that
we
would
have
to
discuss
with,
like
the
Arbor
Day
committee
and
the
shade
tree
Commission
become
I.
Think
so
far,
we've
mostly
been
focusing
around
the
trees,
but
that's
something
that
was
definitely
gonna
happen.
Okay,
your.
A
B
If
there
are
plans
to
vote,
but
it
could
be
something
that
that
trees
purchased
by
the
city
or
labor
tools
provided
yes,
okay,
thank
you
at
this
time.
We
we
won't,
prohibit
a
request
it
later,
but
it's
at
this
time.
That
was
what
they
said.
Okay,
thanks.
Okay,
next
on
the
agenda
for
this
committee
is
the
need
for
a
new
boiler
for
the
community
center.
The
community
center
is
currently
operating
on
its
original
boiler
that
was
installed
in
1999
and
last
year.
E
B
B
You
and
be
there,
the
bid
process
was
initiated
in
2019,
but
was
unsuccessful,
so
they're
hoping
to
go
through
source
wall
for
procurement
of
the
the
new
boiler
and
the
replacement
boiler
system
will
be
a
high-efficiency
model
at
97%,
and
the
current
system
is
81%
efficient.
What
didn't
so?
It
is
a
significant
improvement
in
efficiency,
the
other
comments
or
questions.
Okay.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
regarding
a
solar
battery
for
the
water
treatment
plant
and
I'm.
B
H
This
is
kind
of
a
nice
segue
coming
off
of
efficiencies.
Yes,
so
going
back
to
late
September
early
October
of
2019,
we
were
made
aware
an
AEP
pilot
program
for
microgrids,
and
so
we
reached
out
and
contacted
a
EP
about
this
to
see
to
learn
more
about
it,
as
well
as
to
learn
what
kind
of
assets
had
to
be
in
place
in
order
to
create
a
microbrew
micro
grid.
H
A
micro
grid
needs
a
solar
array
and
needs
a
battery
system
to
be
fed
by
the
solar
array
and
then
that
battery
can
be
used
during
periods
of
low
or
no
light
to
generate
power
at
the
solar
array.
So
it's
council
knows,
and
everyone
who's
watching
tonight
knows
that
we
have
a
a
roughly
a
230
kilowatt
solar
array.
That's
DC!
It's
178
kilowatt,
AC
power,
that's
generated
by
that
solar
array
that
is
fed
into
the
power
into
the
water
treatment
plant.
H
We
informed
AP
as
to
what
we
had
in
place
and
that
this
was
a
solar
array.
Feeding
into
a
critical
asset
for
the
city
of
Athens
also
indicated
to
AEP
that
we
have
some
real
challenges
when
we
were
affected
by
the
derecho
many
years
ago,
and
fortunately
the
worst
of
things
didn't
happen,
but
it
was
possible
that
we
could
have
lost
complete
power
to
the
water
treatment
plant
and
that
to
have
to
be
a
site
to
test
something
like
this
would
be
a
great
place
to
do
it.
H
They
were
looking
at
three
different
sites
across
the
state.
Potentially
four
we
were
just
recently
notified
after
many
exchanges
back
and
forth
between
a
company
called
warm
early
worldly
is
out
of
Tennessee.
They
are
a
company
contractor
that
specializes
in
micro
grids
and
storage
systems,
and
they
are
working
with
AEP
and,
like
I
said,
we
were
just
notified
recently
that
we
have
been
selected
to
be
a
pilot
site
for
a
micro
grid
down
at
the
water
treatment
plant.
H
So
what
will
become
before
council
is
a
temporary
easement,
temporary
construction
easement
for
them
to
come
in,
deploy
this
this
micro-grid
battery
system,
as
well
as
to
hook
into
our
solar
array
and
to
the
water
treatment
plant
and
for
a
period
of
two
years.
They
will
be
piloting
this
because
everyone's
still
trying
to
learn
about
these
and
how
they
can
be
best
utilized,
starting,
small-scale,
but
eventually
thinking
bigger
scale,
not
just
here
in
Athens
but
everywhere.
So
what
will
be
coming
before?
H
Council
is
again
asking
for
councils
approval
to
have
a
temporary
construction
easement,
so
the
thinking
gate,
access
to
the
site
have
access
for
a
period
of
two
years.
At
the
end
of
that
two-year
period
of
time,
AEP
will
literally
be
giving
us
this
micro
grid
system,
where
we
continue
to
use
it
and
have
will
have
full
access
and
control
over
this
micro
grid
to
do
a
number
of
different
things,
but,
most
importantly,
its
resilience.
Its
resilience
for
one
of
our
critical
assets
here
in
the
city
of
Athens.
H
H
What
they
told
us
today
is
that
they
would
like
to
under
this
pilot
they
would
be
exercising
this
system
typically
once
a
month
to
see
how
it's
working
to
get
the
data
they
can
I
feel
that
it's
for
them
to
have
complete
access
to
the
data
that's
being
generated
by
this
micro
grid
and
to
learn
from
it
is
appropriate
as
we
move
forward.
The
other
thing
to
share
this
is
a
95
percent
match.
In
other
words,
they
would
cover
95
percent
of
the
micro
grid
cost.
H
E
G
Think
that
the
resilience
cannot
be
underestimated
because
going
forward
we're
going
to
be
you
know
we
are
the
economic
linchpin
of
the
county
too,
and
so
we
need
to
have
our
build
our
capacity,
our
resilience
to
be
able
to
bring
in
people
when
they're
at
their
worst
to
when
they
have
a
lot
of
crisis
and
I.
Think
that's
essential
going
forward.
Absolutely
community
and
resilience
is
two
of
those
parts
of
that
sustainability
seat
that
I'm
always
talking
about
so
and.
E
B
The
the
data
that
AEP
will
be
collecting
or
throughout
this
study
I
assumed
that
we
would
have
access
to
that
information
in
terms
of
you
know
how
how
well
it
is
working
and
and
what
changes
or
improvements
need
to
be
made
going
forward
with.
You
know,
hopefully
looking
to
two
more
systems
like
that
for
the
city
over
time,
but
yeah.
Hopefully
we
would.
We
would
also
be
able
to
utilize
the
data
or
have
access
to
it,
to
give
it
to
the
people
who
understand
it
properly
to
use
it.
H
I
believe
that,
to
be
the
case,
I
will
certainly
ask
them
again
to
make
sure
that
that
we
will
have
access
to
it,
but
I
will
ask
find
out
for
you.
Thank
you.
The
other
thing
just
to
share
with
counsel
real
quick
is
that
the
the
other
two
current
sites
are
in
larger
metropolitan
areas.
So
the
other
thing
that's
exciting
is
that
we're
being
looked
at
down
in
the
southeastern
Ohio
and
in
particular
here
in
Athens,
to
have
something
like
this,
so
it's
it's
fascinating.
Pretty.
H
This
will
begin
right
after
our
last
payment
to
this
it'll
sit
there
and
go
live
middle
as
well
as
construction
on
this
is
going
to
happen
soon.
Well,
let
me
see
if
I
have
dates
in
here
projected
dates
for
you.
But
again,
it's
all
predicated
upon
council
passing
this
temporary
easement
to
gain
access
to
the
site.
I
can
get
you
that
information,
councilmember
Eisner
up.
H
I
H
Is
and
it's
a
contained
system,
it's
it's
basically
a
conic
sized
structure
that
will
be
behind
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
in
between
the
solar
array
and
the
the
physical
building,
and
then
there
will
be
some
extensive
training,
both
with
our
operators
or
at
least
an
operator
for
the
water
treatment
plant.
The
fire
department
will
be
trained
as
well
as
to
how
the
battery
operates
and
any
precautions
that
there
are
on
their
end,
but
there
will
be
a
containment
system
that
this
battery
is
sitting
in.
So
we
feel
confident
about
this
system.
I
H
A
B
It
is
time
for
the
renewal
of
the
contract
that
Athens
has
with
the
Washington
County
Jail,
and
we
do
have
agreements
with
with
other
jails
in
the
state,
but
Washington
County
is
the
only
one
that
requires
that
council
approve
the
contract,
and
so
this
is
I
believe
the
same
as
the
agreement
was
last
year.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
and
it
is
the
copy
of
the
contract,
is
on
our
drive?
B
It's
when
our
own
Regional
Jail
is
full
and
sometimes
there's
a
need
to
house
inmates
in
other
jails
and
having
this
contract
with
Washington
County
allows
us
to
utilize
space
there
if
they
have
it
available,
and
that
designates
that
the
amount
of
$68
per
day
for
each
person
incarcerated
in
the
Washington,
County
Jail
would
be
paid.
So
any
comments
or
questions
regarding
the
Washington
County
Jail
contract.
J
B
However,
I
know
from
conversations
that
I've
had
that
the
last
few
times
we've
been
looking
for
bed
space,
Washington
County
was
also
full,
and
so
it's
yeah
that
this
I'm
not
sure
how
often
the
we
utilize
the
Washington
County
Jail
space,
because
I
think
there's
is
often
full,
but
this
allows
us
to
utilize
their
their
bed
space
if
they
have
any
available,
but
often
yes,
you're
you're,
correct
the
Regional.
Jail
does
not
have
very
many
beds
for
female
inmates
and
those
are
are
frequently
the
ones
that
are
needed.
A
A
K
Yes-
and
we
thought
it
was-
was
pertinent
at
the
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
to
mention
this
because
by
the
next
time
we
we
get
together
this,
this
project
will
be
started
and
Richland
Avenue
will
be
closed
and
that's
starting
on
March,
2nd
for
179
days.
The
projected
reopening
of
that
of
that
area
by
Porter,
Hall
and
West
Green
will
happen
on
9/11
for
vehicular
traffic.
K
So
just
just
remember
be
aware:
the
the
detours
will
be
going
up
very
soon
and
I'm
sure
we'll
all
forget,
but
you
know
you
forget
a
couple
times
and
then
you'll
what
we'll
be
in
a
new
pattern
and
it'll
be
over
very
quickly
as
time
goes
on
so
Transportation
Committee
this
evening,
I'm.
Sorry,
mr.
mayor
I,
didn't
know
if
you
had
anything
additional
to
add
to
that
or
we're
good.
H
K
All
right
on
to
our
regularly
scheduled
program,
so
Transportation
Committee
this
evening.
We
have
three
points.
The
first
one
is
as
yet
another
Street
closure
and
so
we're
moving
through
these
a
little
bit
sooner
in
the
year
and
I've
been
very
appreciative
of
the
of
the
work
that's
been
done
and
the
the
documents
that
are
being
delivered
to
us
on
our
drive.
We
do
have
a
the
the
Athens
Uptown
art
event,
which
is
sponsored
by
a
Mac.
This
is
a
street
closure,
that's
going
to
be
on
August
15th,
and
that
is
a
Saturday.
K
It's
Union
Street,
just
for
one
block
between
Congress
and
Court,
and
so
this
will
not
impact
any
intersections.
It
all
just
will
just
eliminate
Union
Street
from
8
a.m.
till
11
p.m.
allowing
/
set
up
and
and
tear
down
same
as
same
as
what
it's
been
in
the
in
the
prior
years
and
and
I
think
the
members
of
a
Mac
for
putting
this
together.
Does
anybody
have
any
specific
questions.
I
I
will
take
the
second
item
here
on
tonight's
agenda:
the
Stimson
Avenue
LPA
agreement.
This
is
a
little
bit
different
of
an
LPA
agreement.
We
have
these
with
the
Ohio
Department
transportation
here
and
then
and
this
one
for
the
Simpson
Avenue
2021
project.
This
is
a
pretty
much
of
a
standard
agreement
allowing
the
city
to
administer
this
project
partially
using
federal
funds,
and
so
this
agreement
lists
the
proposed
ODOT
contribution
of
two
million
one
hundred
twenty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifteen
dollars
for
this
project.
I
That
represents
95
percent
of
the
eligible
costs
for
this
project,
and
this
is
secured
through
the
small
city
program.
So
council
will
be
seeing
an
ordinance
come
together
to
appropriate
funds
for
this
construction
of
this
project.
This
will
this
will
happen
later
once
we
have
a
full
estimate
from
the
designer
which
includes
the
utility,
relocation
costs
and
other
items.
K
We're
moving
right
down
through
the
list
here,
the
last
one.
This
one
might
might
take
a
little
bit
longer
because
I'm
getting
ready
to
say
the
the
P
word
parking,
continuous
parking
in
the
same
location-
and
this
is
a
this-
is
a
asking
for
an
amendment
to
to
regulation.
Seven
five
three-
and
this
was
something
that-
and
this
is
going
going
back
to
September
one-
and
this
is
education
for
some
people
that
weren't
here.
K
Captain
Harvey
from
from
the
police
department
had
had
made
a
suggestion
of
moving
cars
in
in
ordinance
to
comply
with
the
24-hour
rule,
and
he
was
making
a
suggestion
of
moving
them
20
feet
from
where
they
were
originally
parked,
and
this
was
mostly
to
combat
the
issue
that
we've
run
into
now
on
that
at
all,
cities
have
that
you
cannot
chalk
a
tire
anymore,
and
so
we
spoke
about
it
in
September
kind
of
took
the
temperature.
It
was
very
cold,
so
nothing
really
happened
with
it.
K
This
one
is-
and
this
one
is
this
one
specifically
just
looking
at
where
we
have
spaces
that
are
delineated
so
painted
spaces
on
our
honor
right
away,
that
they
want.
The
vehicle
must
be
moved
to
a
different
space,
and
this
is
the
suggested
change
and
that's
why
I
forwarded
it
seemed
like
you.
Couldn't
you
couldn't
really
read
the
exact
word
that
was
there
the
exact
sentence
that
was
that
was
being
suggested
for
change.
K
So
this
is
something
that
that
everybody
we're
still
we're
still
working
with
them.
You
know
I
want
to
remind
everybody
that
so
many
council
people
have
come
before
us
trying
to
solve
this.
This
dilemma
and
I
think
I
think
the
thing
that
I
was
thinking
about
is,
as
I
had
my
conversation
with
with
captain
Harvey
today
is
you
know
where
we
are
currently
with
the
24-hour
rule?
Do
we
still
have
a
storage
problem?
K
I
personally
believe
we
do.
You
know,
and
it's
something
that
I
I
personally
you
know
I
someone
parked
a
vehicle
on
my
property
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
I'd
probably
be
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
work
with
it.
So
you
know
with
the
city:
it's
the
same
way.
You
know,
I,
believe
that
we
do
need
to
offer
parking
and,
of
course
that's
you
know,
that's
that's
part
of
the
thing
that's
part
of
whatever
right
always
do,
but
if
we
start
to
have
storage
of
vehicles,
so
that's
you
know
this
is
this
is
proposed.
K
K
Another
area
that
was
that
was
mentioned
was
was
Wallace
over
on
the
on
the
east
side,
but
those
aren't
full
boxes
there,
they're
just
there
lines
that
may
become
a
foot
or
two
off
of
the
off
the
curb,
and
what
they're
there
there
for
is
to
encourage
parking
so
that
you
can
fit
as
many
vehicles
as
you
can,
so
it
basically
encourages
that
you'll
have
the
proper.
You
know
that
you
can
maximize
the
amount
of
vehicles
on
that
street
during
the
times
that
it's
necessary
Oh.
K
E
L
B
B
A
lot
of
people,
my
own
honor,
included,
who
drive
somewhere
every
day
but
frequently
Park
in
the
exact
same
space
on
the
street,
so
my
daughter
leaves
for
school
in
the
morning.
I
was
back
if
the
space
right
in
front
of
our
house
is
available.
Shiri
parks
there.
So
it's
parking
enforcement
happened
to
go
by
after
three
o'clock
two
days
in
a
row.
Her
car
would
be
in
the
same
spot.
So
even
though
she
left
and
returned
there's,
there
would
not
necessarily
be
any
way
of
knowing
that
she
had
moved.
B
G
I
think
that
something
like
this,
especially
in
the
closer
in
neighborhoods
but
I,
can
see
where
the
line
marking
would
go
ahead
and
I
wouldn't
I
think
that
what
we're
doing
for
citizens
is
making
blocking
the
car
even
harder,
because
if
there
was
some
place,
I
haven't
driven
my
car
but
I'm
going
out
to
walk
it.
24
hours
and
the
space
in
front
of
me
is
open,
but
there's
no
other
place,
except
for
four
blocks
down
the
way.
G
That's
you
know
that's
a
hassle
for
people
who
we
want
to
encourage,
not
to
bribe
and
to
encourage
walking
and
those
sort
of
things,
and
this
is
kind
of
like
making
putting
once
again
parking
as
a
fundamental
driver
of
what
should
be
other
things
in
our
neighborhoods
and
that
we
need
to
get
away
from
this
24-hour
period.
This
may
work
for
maybe
a
48
hour
or
a
72
hour
period,
which
I
think
we
need
to
move
towards
because
we
need
to
get
away
from
walking,
especially.
E
G
D
K
I'll
also
make
mention
to
that
this
isn't
this:
is
there
isn't
an
idea
that
we're
gonna
do
delineated
spaces
everywhere
in
the
city,
the
cost
and
maintenance
of
maintaining
that
much
more
striping
is
just
not.
It
sounds
like
they
do
this
in
areas
where
they
want
to
encourage.
You
know
parking
in
certain
places
so
that
if
you
know
that
it
flows
better,
you
can
fit
the
vehicles
that
seem
to
need
to
be
there.
So
we're
not
gonna
have.
I
L
K
K
K
E
E
Please
forgive
me
that
in
the
meet
for
the
meter,
maids
the
people
that
work
with
parking
enforcement,
but
for
the
the
example
that
member
grace
brought
up
of
someone
who
leaves
during
the
day
and
comes
back
to
the
very
same
spot.
That
would
almost
suggest
that
those
that
the
parking
enforcement
personnel
would
have
to
drive
around
a
lot
and
take
pictures
with
their
cameras
at
multiple
times
a
day,
because
you
wouldn't
you
know
her
daughter-
might
be
coming
home
at
3:00
every
day.
E
K
And
you
know
so
right
now
we
have.
We
have
one
person.
That's
is
tasked
with
that,
because
they're,
the
only
one
that
can
drive
the
right-hand
Jeep.
So
with
with
these
new
with
that
new
technology,
you
can
actually
task
more
people
to
just
drive
a
regular
vehicle
and
they're,
not
they're,
not
driving
a
slow
week.
Mall
they're
still
gonna
drive
within
the
speed
limits,
but
they
will
they'll
be
able
to
cover
more
ground
and
they'll
be
able
to
also
employ
more
people
throughout.
K
So
right
now
you
do
have
people
that
can
kind
of
game
the
system
because
they
know
when
these
people
go
home.
They
know
if
there's
a
holiday
weekend
well,
they
might
be
able
to
squeeze
three
days
out
of
you
know,
out
of
a
space
and
not
have
to
move
it.
So
I
think
with
you
know
that
new
technology,
and
that
was
kind
of
when
this
was
coming
forward.
I
was
you
know
if
we're,
if
we're
already
thinking
about
new
technology,
is
that
going
to
solve
the
problem
or
help
or
help
with
some
the
policing?
E
H
H
As
you
know,
if
I
parked
in
front
of
my
house,
which
would
be
dangerous,
cuz
and
got
in
my
car
the
next
morning
and
drove
into
work
and
then
the
evening
drove
back
and
parked
in
the
exact
same
space,
it's
not
likely
that
the
position
of
my
tires
my
wheels
are
going
to
look
exactly
the
same,
but
again
I
need
to
dig
deeper
into
the
technology
behind
this
whole
system.
You
know
not
just
the
license
plate
reader,
but
what
geo-tagging
is
there?
What
is
the
specificity
of
the
images
they're
looking
at?
Is
there?
H
Is
it
like
facial
recognition,
but
for
a
car-
and
it's
looking
to
see
is
everything
look
the
same
as
it
did
a
day
or
two
ago?
So
counsel
just
know
that
I
need
to
better
understand
the
system
as
well.
It
wouldn't
I'm
not
opposed
to
asking
asking
captain
Harvey
to
come
and
talk
to
this
issue
into
itself.
That'd.
K
G
Our
only
agenda
item
tonight
is
a
total
49
certificate
of
registration
that
is
now
being
asked
for
by
the
city
and
the
being
filled
out
by
horizon.
Do
you
want
to
details
or
anything,
it's
pretty
straightforward.
This
is
our
new
system
that
we
put
together
to
make
it
easier
to
do
some
of
these
right
away
things,
but
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
lot
of
oversight
through
that
process,
and
so
that's
the
city.
What
the
city
is
doing
now
is
fulfilling
that
process.
G
A
Just
by
way
of
background
last
year
or
at
the
end
of
December,
2018
Council
passed
an
ordinance
that
put
into
place
this
new
legislation
and
we're
complying.
We
worked
with
Ricker
and
Eckler,
and
the
law
firm
to
assist
us
with
this,
so
that
we
would
be
complying
with
federal
and
state
regulations.
So
we've
worked
through
that
added
this
to
it
and,
as
I
understand
we're
going
to
get
maybe
10
to
15
of
these
applications
that
will
be
coming
through
the
registrations.
A
I
First
of
all,
we
have
already
discussed
and
started
read
an
amendment
for
purchasing
new
software
for
the
city's
financial
systems,
specifically
in
the
auditor's
office,
and
it
turns
out
that
we
authorized
an
expenditure
of
funds
for
the
new
software,
but
we
did
not
appropriate
the
money,
so
we
will
be
amending
the
ordinance
next
week
to
and
will
have
to
pass
this
on
suspension,
and
this
is
specifically
a
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
a
contract
with
CMI.
It
comes
out
of
our
Capital
Improvement
funds.
I
I
I
I
Staying
with
further
appropriations,
we
have
some
decreases
to
to
push
through.
We
need
to
reduce
the
the
tourism
to
12.1
to
0
TC
300
by
$6,000.
This
was
an
over
budgeting
for
the
Athens
City
County
Visitors
Bureau,
and
so
we
will
be
decreasing
by
$6,000
any
questions
from
the
committee
on
the
decrease
in
amounts.
Other
council
members
have
to
get
over
budget
I'm,
not
sure
the
exact
mayor
Hecht
is
not
oh,
she
is
he
with
this
tonight,
we're
not
sure
exactly.
L
I
do
the
revenue
that
was
in
the
budget
and
I
think
that
some
of
these
things
we
look
at
and
we
think
it's
gonna.
The
the
TGT,
of
course,
is
our
hotel.
Our
lodging
tax,
and
the
thing
is
the
only
thing
we
put
in
that
tourism
fund
from
there
anymore
is
the
money
that
we're
gonna
send
to
the
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau.
So
it
really
has
to
be
budgeted
exactly
what
we
think
we're
going
to
get,
and
so
it
was
just
the
budget
have
more
money
in
it.
L
J
L
Did
leave
it
increased
but
not
actually.
I
was
gonna,
reduce
it
by
seven
thousand
dollars
and
that
would
still
be
two
thousand
dollars
more
than
what
we
got
last
year.
So
it's
we've
got
a
good
cushion
in
there
now,
even
for
that
one,
but
that
might
have
been
the
thinking,
but
I
don't
think
that
much
is
gonna
come
in.
Oh.
I
Yeah
questions:
okay,
thank
you.
Moving
on,
we
have
another
decrease
in
101.7
180c
500
by
$130,000.
This
was
originally
budgeted
for
lease
payments
for
the
parking
meters,
but
we
decided
to
purchase
them
outright
so
that
that
money
can
be
decreased
in
that
in
that
fund.
Any
comments
or
questions
about
parking
meter,
good
decision.
Yes
thank.
L
Yes,
that's
out
of
the
general
fund.
It
just
goes
back
into
the
fund,
so
you
probably
haven't
seen
very
many
unappropriate
of
balance
sheets,
but
it
will
go
into
the
unappropriated
balance.
The
money
is
available
as
we
move
along.
If
somebody
needs
something,
then
we
can
appropriate
it
and
so
yeah.
Thank
you,
but
we
do
need
that
in
the
general
fund
anyway,.
K
L
No,
we
have
a
loan
we
have
in
our
budget.
Are
the
loan
payments?
Okay,
but
the
calculations
were
done,
I
don't
remember
now,
I
could
go
back
and
look
at
it.
We
went
all
through
that
where
we
looked
at
what
the
company
was
charging
us
to,
let
us
it
was
a
lease
to
buy
kind
of
thing
for
five
years
and
then
what
we
would
pay
an
interest
at
our
local
bank
is
so
minimal
that
it
was
just
more
worthwhile
saved
us.
L
I
I
Okay,
in
the
last
appropriation
we
have
is
a
grant
award
for
the
fire
department
for
some
equipment.
This
would
be
to
appropriate
in
the
FEMA
fund.
Five.
Eighty
eight
point:
five,
eight
zero
TC
six
hundred
of
three
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty
two
dollars.
We
would
then
transfer
from
five
eight
eight
to
the
general
fund
and
appropriate
for
the
equipment
purchase.
I.
Have
that
correct,
Auditor,
perfect,
all
right,
any
questions
about
the
fire
department,
they
by
turnout
gear
Oh,
any
other
questions
about
this.
That.
I
Okay,
if
there's
no
further
questions,
that's
all
we
have
for
appropriations
and
transfers
and
we'll
move
on
in
the
second
item
on
our
agenda.
The
service
Safety
Director
plan,
and
that
is
refers
to
his
going
on
leave
to
serve
in
the
to
be
deployed
in
his
position
as
a
colonel
in
the
mr.
stone
and
the
Ohio
National
Guard
and
US
Army
and.
I
The
plan
that
we
will
be
presenting
from
the
administration
next
week
is
that,
while
service
Safety
Director
Stone
is
absent
from
the
city,
the
police
chief
chief
payal,
will
be
serving
as
both
service
Safety
Director
and
the
Chief
of
Police.
Most
of
his
focus
as
I
understand
from
the
administration
will
be
on
service
Safety
Director
duties,
but
he
will
still
be
performing
the
least
the
statutory
responsibilities
or
functions
of
the
chief
of
police.
I
Repercussions
of
these
moves
will
be
that
the
number
of
police
lieutenants
will
be
decreased
by
one
in
our
in
our
city's
FTE
staffing
and
the
excuse
me
that
will
be
increased
by
one
and
the
patrol
officers
will
be
decreased
by
one,
and
this
will
be
a
permanent
change,
but
we
could
go
back
to
the
the
older
numbers,
if
necessary
and
possibly
through
attrition
once
service
safety.
Director
stone
is
back
in
our
Civic
in
the
position
of
service
safety
director.
I
This
plan
should
save
them,
the
the
city
quite
a
bit
of
money,
given
that
we
won't
be
paying
service
safety
director
stone
his
salary,
and
we
will
just
be
doing
these
two,
please
to
10%
stipends
for
Captain
Harvey
and
for
chief
pile
there.
Any
questions
about
the
service
safety
director
absence
plan.
Yes,.
J
I
F
H
Because
to
file
we'll
still
be
here
and
operationally,
captain
Harvey
will
be
directing
things
within
the
police
department,
but
he's
still
gonna
be
attending
briefings
in
the
police
department.
He's
still
gonna
be
well
aware
of
everything
going
on,
but
we'll
also
be
serving
the
in
the
capacity
of
the
interim
service
Safety
Director,
okay.
H
It
also
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
observe
functionally
some
of
the
lieutenant's
that
are
serving
in
that
role,
because
we
won't
have
the
same
Chief
of
Police
forever,
and
so
it
adopts
actually
opens
up
some
opportunities
for
to
observe
some
of
the
other
officers
within
the
police
department
structure.
I
had.
F
H
To
that
well,
we
had
to
bring
someone
up
from
somewhere
and
for
them
to
come
up
from
the
patrol
officers
into
that.
Lieutenant
role
is
what
was
the
most
obvious
direction
to
go
with
this
as
we
move
forward
and
as
my
customer
Carl
mentioned,
you
know
in
time
we
could
actually
revert
back
and
draw
down
from
the
number
of
lieutenants
and
bring
back
that
patrol
officer
again.
You
know
in
a
year
and
a
half
time
out,
possibly
two.
J
H
Our
current
deputy
service
safety
director,
our
deputy
servicing
directors,
is
deeply
involved
in
a
lot
of
things.
Now,
with
the
restructuring
that
has
gone
on
in
with
my
staff,
he
will
certainly
be
continuing
to
do
his
functions.
He
may
pick
up
a
few
additional
functions
as
as
we
move
forward,
but
I
also
know
that
chief
Pyle
has
has
been
in
a
lot
of
the
meetings
that
are
going
on
within
for
my
staff,
and
this
current
is
watching.
What's
going
on
and
understanding
how
things
function,
these
is
even
sat
behind
Andy
stones
desk,
mm-hmm
yeah.
F
Just
one
other
comment:
yes,
thank
you
to
your
point.
These
are
very
different
jobs,
so
so
I
agree
with
with
that
sentiment,
but
I
also
understand
these
are
very
talented,
gentlemen,
so,
but
understandable
if
there
will
be
a
learning
curve,
just
to
go
back
real,
quick
again
to
the
number
of
patrol
officers,
just
to
be
clear
that
we're
we're.
Okay
with
that,
especially
given
some
of
the
concerns
that
we're
seeing
on
the
Westside
we're
gonna
have
a
fewer
patrol
officers
on
the
streets
correct
with
this
transition,
no
okay,
miss
I'm,
a
submissive
ten.
L
H
I
I
I
We
should
be
able
to
pay
this
off.
That
would
leave
us
a
little
over
three
hundred
ninety
thousand
dollars
remaining
on
the
note,
and
we
should
be
able
to
pay
that
off
in
five
or
six
years.
At
that
rate,
and
as
as
auditor
Hecht
noted,
we
got
a
very
good
rate
through
our
local,
our
local
bank,
and
we
have
budgeted
the
interest
and
everything
in
this
amount
of
what
the
current
I
believe.
