Athens City Council - December 14, 2020
A
A
B
Great,
I
have
we
have
a
powerpoint
prepared
tonight
for
everyone,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
jump
into
that
in
just
a
second
and
thanks
again
for
giving
us
time
for
our
yearly
report
to
the
city
council.
It's
as
what
we've
been
doing
as
the
athens
city
commission
on
disabilities.
B
C
B
As
you
may
know,
we
have
13
members
on
our
disability
commission
and
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
recent
pictures.
So
some
of
these
pictures
are
from
years
past.
B
B
We
have
a
great
and
dedicated
commission
list,
so
these
are
the
people
that
have
served
in
2020.
B
So
what
do
we
do?
What
we
try
and
do
is
to
be
a
voice
for
people
with
disabilities
within
the
city
and
beyond
many
come
to
us
with
questions
and
concerns,
but
we
also
actively
and
proactively
seek
to
make
change.
B
B
We
worked
really
hard,
and
this
has
been
you
know-
a
dream
of
ours
on
the
commission
to
have
a
center
for
independent
living
based
in
athens
county
and
we're
getting
very
close
to
the
social
opening
up
an
office
we've
been
working
on
housing
accessibility
who
will
speak
in
a
little
bit
has
been
working
really
hard
on
that
as
well.
I'm
collaborating
with
the
age-friendly
athens
to
work
on
improvements
worked
on
installing
a
permanent
ramp
at
arts.
B
West
recruited,
four
new
members
to
the
commission
and
we
celebrated
the
30th
anniversary
of
the
ada
at
the
mary's
press
conference
and
one
one
thing
that
I
really
noted
during.
That
is
how
much
we've
accomplished,
but
how
much
more
we
still
need
to
to
do
so.
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
pass
this
off
to
noah.
D
D
D
This
summer
we
did
a
walk
and
roll
a
lot
of
state
street
where
the
much
needed
streetscape
was
taking
place
in,
I
believe,
2022
between
college
street
and
congress.
While
we
were
writing
that
report,
we
also
created
a
separate
document
with
some
general
recommendations
for
future
streetscaping
projects.
D
D
E
Thanks
noah,
I'm
dr
diane
bouvier
and
I
am
presenting
for
the
chair
of
the
advocacy
committee,
sly
mata.
So
this
is
an
interesting
committee.
It's
been
reformed
this
year,
so
they
are
just
sort
of
finding
their
way
and
developing
some
protocol
for
what
they'd
like
to
do
this
year,
one
of
the
things
they're
working
on
is
a
statement
for
black
lives
matter,
which
also
includes
some
thought
about
the
intersectionality
between
disability
and
black
lives.
E
But
one
of
the
things
that
this
committee
sees
is
that
it's
really
important
for
all
people
to
be
able
to
participate
in
having
the
ability
to
be
remote
is
actually
an
accessibility
issue.
So
we
hope
to
work
on
this
this
year
as
something
that
we
should
have
long
term
in
the
state
and
we're
looking
for
partners.
So
one
of
the
things
we'd
like
to
have
is
partners
who
work
on
this
with
us.
So
if
there's
anybody
who
would
like
to
partner
with
us
on
this,
please
let
us
know.
Thank
you.
E
Now
we're
going
to
go
on
to
the
education
and
outreach
committee
highlights
with
carol
dr
carolyn
lewis.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Diane.
F
So
this
year
we
placed
some
focus
on
adding
younger
creative,
diverse
minds
to
our
community
commission
and
to
our
committees.
This
committee
is
chaired
by
me,
co-chaired
by
me
and
barry
dilley.
There
are
five
other
members.
Barry
has
been
a
relentless
advocate
for
center
for
independent
living
as
far
back
as
the
early
2000s.
F
So
we
hope
to
see
it
come
to
fruition
in
2021..
The
hallmark
as
babies
alluded
to
earlier
to
this
committee's
work
culminates
each
november
with
the
athena
award
event.
It
was
a
challenge
to
produce
a
virtual
award
ceremony
this
year,
but
thanks
to
the
talents
of
one
of
our
newest
commemora
commission
members,
claire
geisticum,
we
had
a
flawless
event.
If
you
missed
it,
it
is
archived
on
the
city's
facebook
page
passionworks
patty
mitchell
is
this
year's
recipient.
F
We
continue
to
produce
programs
on
woub
radio
and
live
interviews
on
w-a-t-h.
Our
outreach
to
civic
and
veterans
groups
has
been
successful
and
we
will
continue
interviewing
past
and
present
commissioners
for
the
oral
history
project.
One
interview
that's
already
finished
is
with
dr
joe
bermy
and
barry
and
it's
on
youtube.
Clara's
work
again.
F
Finally,
the
best
for
this
committee
of
the
six
commissioned
athena
award
trophies
was
permit
was
commissioned
the
president
to
paddy.
So
we
are
calling
our
artists
to
submit
a
design
for
a
new
award.
The
deadline
is
january
31st,
so
the
last
award
that
we
had
we
had
commissioned
six
of
them.
The
last
one
was
given
to
patty
this
year.
F
The
communications
committee
promotes
the
work
of
the
commission,
as
chaired
by
claire,
we're
keeping
her
busy
this
year.
We
begin
monthly
news
that
are
using
columns
to
the
editors
about
editor
about
voting
access,
housing
pandemic,
pods
parking,
covert,
19,
managing
aids,
living
with
disability
and
family
advocacy,
claire
also
revamped
our
facebook
page,
and,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
in
cooperation
with
the
education
and
outreach
committee,
developed,
edited
and
produced
the
athena
awards
ceremony.
F
B
Thank
you,
everyone!
Thank
you
for
those
kind
words
carolyn,
and
this
is
our
executive
team
and
I
I
just
could
not
imagine
working
with
a
better
group
of
people.
That's
me
davey
noah
trembley,
dr
diane
bouvier
and
dr
carolyn
lewis,
just
amazing
people,
and
I
think
we
complement
each
other
really
well.
B
We
wanted
to
just
publicly
thank
barry,
dilley
and
scott
dennis
who
are
leaving
the
commission
at
the
end
of
this
year.
They
have
both
been
with
the
commission
since
it
started
basically
in
the
early
2000s
and
have
have
really
seen
tremendous
growth.
So
many
amazing
things
done
and
they're
still
going
to
be
involved,
just
not
as
full
full
commission
members.
So
we
just
really
thank
them
for
their
dedication
and
service,
so
the
best
ways
to
join
us.
The
best.
The
three
ways
that
that
are
you
know
we
are
very
inclusive.
B
We
try
and
get
as
much
diversity
of
thought
and
opinion
and
disability
as
we
possibly
can.
Please
email
us
at
disabilities,
commission
at
ci.athens.oh.us,
follow
and
message
us
on
our
facebook
page
or
you
can
just
get
in
touch
with
city
hall,
get
in
touch
with
patty
at
the
mayor's
office.
To
who
does
great
support
for
us,
you
can
watch
any
of
our
meetings
on
facebook
live
on
the
city
of
athens
page
and
again,
just
please
visit
our
facebook
page.
We
try
and
publicize
every
single
thing
we
do
and
keep
the
public
informed.
B
So
again,
just
thank
you
very
much
for
the
ongoing
support
of
city
council,
mayor
patterson
and
the
community.
We
we
greatly
appreciate
it
and
are
looking
forward
to
to
another
year
of
doing
this.
Thank
you.
A
And
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
I
think
your
report
shows
how
just
how
busy
your
committees
have
been,
and
I
first
was
getting
an
inkling
of
this,
because
the
director
of
the
government
channel
was
saying
there
were
a
lot
of
subcommittees
meeting,
and
so
it
shows
and
tremendous
amount
of
growth.
And
so
that's
wonderful,
yeah.
G
A
Comments
or
questions
from
council
members,
I'm
checking
to
see
council
member
smedley.
I
Wisely
and
thank
you
all
for
coming
today
and
presenting
it's
I'm
very
proud
to
be
the
a
member
of
the
commission,
as
the
city
council
appointed
member,
it's
great
to
see
the
work
that
the
commission
does
on
a
monthly
basis
and
to
see
it
summarized
so
succinctly
is
pretty
impressive.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
hard
work.
It's
it's!
It's
been
a
great
honor
to
work
alongside
you.
B
J
Yes,
thank
you.
I
think
that
you
missed
out
on
one
of
the
things
that
you
really
helped
the
city
with,
and
that
was
with
the
comprehensive
plan
and
all
the
support
and
work
that
you
guys
helped
with
through
the
whole
planning
process,
and
so
that
makes
our
plan
that
much
better.
I
think
that,
because
of
the
outreach
that
the
planners
office
did
and
planner
paul
did,
I
think
that
it's
a
really
strong
document
for
everybody
in
the
city,
and
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
making
it
that
way.
B
Absolutely
thank
you,
councilmember
fall,
and
I
do
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
city
planner,
paul
logue.
He
often
comes
to
our
committee
in
full
commission
meetings
to
get
input
and
guidance
as
to
many
city
officials
and
people
who
work
for
the
city.
So
we
really
appreciate
that
and
try
try
and
continue
to
work
closely
with
the
city
if
we
can
get
out
ahead
of
things
rather
than
trying
to
fix
things
later.
That's
what
we
try
to
do.
J
A
All
right-
and
I
just
want
to
do
one
double
check-
to
make
sure
for
our
participants.
We
have
some
other
attendees,
but
I'm
not
seeing
any
hands
raised.
So
once
again,
thank
you
for
being
with
us
tonight
taking
the
time
and
for
all
the
other
time
you
take
during
the
year
for
all
your
work
thanks
all
right,
we'll
move
on!
Oh
did
councilmember
grace.
Are
you
just
waving
goodbye
or
okay?
A
Okay,
thanks.
I
didn't
want
to
miss
a
comment
all
right,
we'll
now
move
on
to
our
finance
and
personnel
committee,
and
this
is
chaired
by
council
member
crowl
and
joined
by
council
members,
reisner,
kotzus
and
smedley.
K
K
This
is
a
part
of
the
or
it
goes
in
hand
with
the
contract
which
we
had
a
first
reading
of
at
our
prior
meeting,
and
it
will
have
a
third
a
second
reading
tonight,
the
contract
and
a
third
reading
next
week.
K
We
would
like
to
align
this
settlement
with
that
contract,
so
we,
the
proposal,
will
be
to
introduce
it
during
committee
tonight
to
have
a
first
reading
at
our
regular
council
meeting,
which
is
tonight
and
then
next
week,
be
suspending
the
rules
and
proposing
a
an
adoption,
a
vote
on
adopting
this
settlement.
K
This
settlement
comes
from
a
grievance
that
the
patrol
officers
excuse
me
the
the
police
officers,
both
the
patrol
lieutenants,
as
well
as
communication
officers
had
with
the
city
of
athens
regarding
emergency
pay
and
the
city
administration,
and
the
police
union
representatives
have
been
discussing
how
to.
K
Deal
with
this
grievance
that
was
filed
on
behalf
of
of
these
officers
through
very
in-depth
deliberations
they
have.
The
union
has
agreed
to
withdraw
with
prejudice
so
without
being
able
to
bring
that
back
their
grievances
with
this
settlement
in
the
the
settlement,
which
was
proposed
actually
by
the
city
and
was
accepted
by
the
union,
so
it
was.
It
was
a
way
for
the
city
to
to
settle
this.
K
The
city's
favor,
although
both
both
parties
benefit
from
it,
but
basically
it
was
to
pay
60
hours
of
straight
time,
pay
to
all
employees
within
the
police
union
who
worked
a
majority
of
their
hours,
so
that
would
be
120
hours
or
more
in
the
year
of
2020,
during
specifically
during
the
pay
periods
of
numbers,
8,
9
and
10.,
and
so
we
are
able
to
utilize
funds
to
provide
for
these
safety
officers
from
from
the
cares
act
to
settle
this-
and
this,
I
think,
is
a
good
way
to
settle
this
grievance
and
to
move
forward
with
the
new
contract
with
a
clean
slate.
K
Basically-
and
I
think
it's
been
good
work
on
the
part
of
the
city
to
to
wrap
this
up.
So
that
is
the
settlement
that
we
have
in
our
one
drive
and
is
being
presented
tonight
during
finance
and
personnel.
K
And
again
we
will
have
this
open
as
at
first
reading
during
our
council
meeting
any
questions
on
member
eisner.
K
It
does
not,
in
fact
that's
a
good
question
member
eisner,
it
does
not
exceed
50
000
and
it
could
actually
be
signed
directly
by
the
mayor
because
of
that
because
of
being
under
fifty
thousand
dollars.
But
I
believe
the
city
administration
thought
it
best
to
discuss
with
council
and
have
this
come
through.
Council.
H
K
L
If
we
were
to
get
questions
about
this,
excuse
me
from
the
general
public.
How
would
you
succinctly
explain
what
these
payments
are
for.
K
You
know
that's
a
good
question.
Remember
cloudfilter.
I
believe
that
I
would
say
that
there
is
is
there
was
some
question
as
to
whether
the
kovid
pandemic
is
a
situation
necessitating
emergency
pay
for
the
police
officers,
and
there
has
been
some
back
and
forth
about
whether
that
is
the
case
and,
of
course,
and
grievance
was
filed
and
the
the
language
I
don't
know,
I
don't
believe
ssd
files
with
us
tonight.
K
I
don't
know
if
mayor
patterson
wants
to
speak
to
this,
but
I
believe
that
the
the
possibility
was
was
that
this
type
of
situation
that
we're
in
could
be
determined
to
be
an
emergency
situation
necessitating
overtime
pay.
K
Unless
we
have
settled
this
in
this
form,
which
then
means
that
going
forward
that
would
not
be
an
option
for
them
to
declare
that
they
are
that
they
require
overtime,
pay
to
work
during
a
situation
like
this
mayor.
I
don't
know
if
I
have
misspoken
there,
but
I
believe
that
remember
cloudfelder.
That
is
why
this
is
in
the
this
is
to
the
advantage
of
both
the
city
and
the
union.
Also
is
fine.
With
this
settlement.
H
H
It
takes
a
lot
of
different
factors
that
would
not
be
thought
of
in
advance.
I
think
so
I
and
also
the
idea
that
the
an
emergency
was
declared
by
the
governor,
as
opposed
by
the
by
the
the
city
itself,
so
I
I
believe
that
that
matter
has
been
corrected.
Is
that
is
that
true,
mr
mayor,
that.
G
H
Okay,
so
I
I
think
we're
in
better
shape
now
going
forward,
and
I
I
certainly
do
understand
the
the
point
of
view
of
the
of
the
the
union.
I
mean
the
the
wording.
Was
there,
you
know
legally
what
how
do
you
define
an
emergency
and
so
on
and
that
well,
that's
where
it
worked
out
so
put
it
behind
us,
get
get
going
forward.
A
Thank
you
tonight.
J
We're
looking
at
a
agreement
that
has
been
negotiated
between
the
city
and
the
company
of
zio
for
some,
they
would
like
to
conduit
for
fiber
optic
conduit
down
for
projects,
and
the
city
is
working
with
them
to
piggyback
on
the
project,
because
it
helps
the
city
in
exchange
for
this
agreement,
which
is
right-of-ways,
you
know
special
right-of-way
permits
and
other
sort
of
issues
like
that
is
that
a
good
way
of
describing
it
mayor.
G
I
I
would,
I
probably
wouldn't
have
used
the
term
piggybacking,
but
it's
it
is
working
with
zayo.
You
know
for
the
needed
easement
to
put
this
line
through
and
work
that
could
also
be
done
for
the
city
of
islands.
J
Right,
maybe
parallel
would
be
a
better
thing,
so
this
will
be
asked
to
be
in
to
be
suspended
this
evening
and
are
there
any
other
questions
or
the
map
is
on
it?
Basically,
it's
along
the
bike
path
running
you
know,
between
a
blindness
area
and
down
towards
stem
center
area.
Now
member
causes.
C
Yes,
thank
you,
and-
and
I
just
wanted
to
to
make
no
note
that
I
had
just
found
out
earlier
this
week,
that
in
dodd-ridge
county
west
virginia,
which
is
part
of
the
north
bend
rail
trail
they're
laying
fiber
along
the
whole
length
of
that
which
basically
stretches
through
the
whole
county.
And
so
it's
really
interesting
to
see
how
these
these
old
rail
lines
are
now
providing
a
new
form
of
delivery
and
transportation.
K
J
Yeah,
the
the
mayor
is
better
prepared
to
say
specifically,
but
yes,
so
there.
G
If
I
may,
there
is
that
map
associated
with
this
particular
ordinance
that
I
would
would
suggest
that
you
look
at
it's
basically
going
from
682
armitage
road
and
then
across
the
river
and
then
through
west
state
street
park
and
up
state
street.
So
yes,
chris,
is
correct,
and
then
it
goes
all
the
way
to
simpson
avenue
to
the
the
city
corporate
line
at
the
stimpson
avenue
bridge,
the
easement
is
to
run
through
west
state
street
park
to
make
this
work.
The
rest
of
it
is
using
city
right-of-way.
D
H
You
yes
in
terms
of
mileage,
how
many,
how
many
miles
are
we
talking
here
five
miles.
G
G
Councilman
reisner,
I
would
guess
that
this
is
probably
approximately
two
miles.
No
two.
H
H
I
Thanks
member
fall
yeah
I
was
just
trying
to
make
sure
I
understood
the
map.
Does
this
impact
any
residents?
Do
we
know
at
this
point?
It
does
not.
G
I
Does
not
okay,
I
think
that's
all.
I
wanted
to
clarify
and
just
great
to
see
this
sort
of
development
happening
thanks.
D
G
And
one
thing
to
add
to
this:
you
know
it's
significant,
that
this
line
is
running
up
west
state
street
and
then
it
it
continues
on
to
where
state
street
by
domino's
pizza,
you
know,
diverges
towards
state
east
state
goes
in
one
direction
and
mill
continues,
and
this
will
run
down
mill
to
1804
away
1804
away
to
the
new
roundabout
and
then
we'll
terminate
there.
G
My
point
for
bringing
that
up
is
that
with
the
waste
west
state
street
leg
of
this,
it
is
interesting
because
it
does
go
right
right
through
the
west
side
neighborhood
and
it
we
believe
it
affords
us
some
opportunities
in
the
future.
With
that
conduit
running
through
there
yeah,
yeah
and
elsewhere.
You
know
the
whole
length
of
it,
but
just
wanted
to
point
that
out.
Since
you
asked
remember,
spending
well.
J
And
on
the
simpson
avenue
project,
there's
also
going
to
be
conduit,
so
I
think
that
this
is
all
taking
it's
the
web.
That's
coming
together!
That's
great!
Thank
you,
mr
cotsas.
C
Yes,
and
so
and
last
week
I
also
had
a
conversation
with
a
gentleman
from
fort
collins
colorado,
who
was
who
was
in
the
process
of
helping
with
the
the
a
public
owned
fiber
system
that
runs
through
through
fort
collins.
I
mean
is
this
something
that
we're
kind
of
starting
to
slowly,
anticipate
being
maybe
another
city
service
sometime
in
you
know,
in
years
to
come.
C
Either
or
I
was,
I
was
very
interested
to
hear
that
fort
collins
was
kind
of
taking
it
on,
as
as
a
as
a
city-based
service.
G
One
of
the
yes
member
causes-
I
mean
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
four
plus
years
now,
is
being
able
to
at
some
point,
as
our
conduit
system
is
built
out
or
building
out
that
we're
able
to
find
a
way
forward
to
lay
city-owned
fiber
in
there
in
that
conduit
and
possibly
use
that
for
as
an
economic
development
tool.
There's
a
number
of
different
things
you
can
do
with
that.
I
think
dublin.
G
G
J
Close-
and
I
I
think
part
of
that
is
also
from
leadership
that
andy
stone
had
from
the
beginning
of
being.
You
know,
thinking
forward
thinking
progressive
thinking
about.
Well,
we
already
have
the
streets
open.
We
might
as
well
start
doing
this
and
you
and
him
working
together
to
make
it
reality.
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
example
of
what
could
happen
connected
with
the
fact
that
we
have
all
these
awesome.
J
You
know
rail
trail
sort
of
opportunities
too.
So,
okay,
thank
you!
That's
the
economic!
Oh
I'm
sorry
amber
stanley.
I
G
It's
underway
right
now,
remember
smedley,
it's
just
that
this
easement
needed
to
be
that's.
Why
we're
we're
having
it
suspended
this
evening
to
get
this
in
place
so
that
zeo
can
continue,
because
they
are
moving
in
a
east
to
west
path
as
opposed
to
the
other
way
around
the
other
way
around.
They
would
have
been
stopped
quite
a
while
ago,
because
they
didn't
have
that
easement
in
place.
So.
F
F
M
M
G
has
some
cares,
act
funding
that
they
are
going
to
be
allocating
on
a
a
rolling
basis,
and
the
city
of
athens
would
like
to
apply
for
some
of
this
funding
to
be
used
for
a
waste
water-based
covid19
surveillance
program,
and
this
is
something
we
talked
about
previously.
M
That
is
happening
in
just
one
location
in
the
city.
If
we
were
able
to
get
this
fund
or
this
this
grant,
we
would
be
able
to
do
more
monitoring
to
have
much
more
specific
information
to
possibly
predict
spikes
by
more
down
to
neighborhood
areas
or
smaller
regions,
rather
than
just
knowing
hey
somewhere
in
the
city.
M
We
we
have
increasing
numbers
coming,
and
this
is
a
project
that
the
city
will
be
coordinating
with
ohio
university
because
they
they
plan
to
do
increased
wastewater
surveillance
and,
of
course,
working
with
our
local
health
department
to
monitor
the
presence
of
the
virus
in
the
community
and
track
infection
records.
So
the
this
opportunity
just
came
up
last
week
and
because
the
funds
are
being
awarded
on
a
rolling
basis,
we
want
to
get
our
application
in
as
quickly
as
possible,
so
we're
the
application
is
going
to
be
for
81
200.
M
Based
on
the
information
I
have,
and
I
I
think
it's
a
really
fantastic
opportunity
for
the
city
to
to
get
this
type
of
information
funded,
funded
through
cdbg
cv
funds.
So
I
will
be
bringing
that
in
council
and
and
also
asking
for
suspension
of
the
rules
to
move
that
along
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
I
have
not
much
more
information
than
what
I've
already
said.
But
if
there
are
questions
I
I
or
hopefully
the
mayor
will
attempt
to
answer
them.
Yes,
member
claude
felter.
This.
L
Does
sound
like
it
would
be
providing
really
helpful
data,
and
I
just
wonder
if
any
of
the
key
players
involved
are
already
in
discussions
with
people
at
oblena's
hospital,
which
you
know
would
be
really
impacted,
potentially
by
by
spikes
in
covid
cases,
and
I
I
would
hope
that
the
public
health
community
would
be
part
of
the
group
that
you
know
that
would
receive
the
results
and
the
data
generated.
We.
G
G
G
So
if
the
with
the
university
doing
five,
we
felt
I
felt
that
it
was
vitally
important
that
we
have
more
granular
information
as
to
what
our
viral
load
looks
like
we've
identified
three
sites,
one
of
them
being
the
richland
avenue
lift
station,
which
is
right
at
the
round,
richmond
avenue
roundabout.
That
would
capture
viral
load
in
the
south
side
of
the
city.
G
A
second
one
would
be
the
depot
street
lift
station,
which
would
give
us
a
snapshot
of
the
west
side
of
the
city,
and
then
the
third
site
would
be
a
a
manhole,
accessible
manhole
at
hope
street
home
street,
rather
which
would
capture
the
west
or
the
east
side.
G
So,
with
this
particular
grant
mechanism,
the
community
development
block
grant.
This
is
the
cdbg
cv,
which
is
the
cares
act.
Allocation
they've
got
72,
27,
sorry,
0.2
million
dollars
that
they
have
dedicated
towards
this,
and
we're
thinking
that
for
us
to
expand
our
system,
it
would
likely
cost
about
50
to
60
dollars.
So
that's
in
the
ballpark
of
what
we
would
be
requesting
via
this
granting
mechanism.
C
Yes,
thank
you,
and
so
so,
just
just
just
for
clarification,
the
the
ou
for
the
additional
five
sites
they
are
already
setting
those
up.
The
additional
three
sites
are
what
we're
applying
for
and
how
fast.
If,
if
everything
happens,
the
way
it's
supposed
to
could
could
these
be
in
place.
G
Remember
concepts
I
think:
that's
just
going
to
depend
on
how
quickly
they
turn
this
these
applications
around
and
notify
individuals
of
being
awarded
or
not.
I
don't
know
I
don't
have
any
intel
on
that.
G
I
can
try
to
get
that,
for
you
remember
katsas,
but
we're
hoping
that
it's
quick,
I
mean
it
is
using
cares
act
money
to
to
do
this
so
and
we
again
in
working
closely
with
the
university
know
the
vendors
that
they
are
using
to
get
their
auto
samplers
and
in
the
equipment
they
need,
plus
some
of
the
sampling,
which
is
really
kind
of
interesting.
G
The
assays
for
the
samples
for
the
five
on
campus
are
going
to
be
done
on
campus
they're,
going
to
be
doing
them
here
at
ou
and
match
the
the
testing
that
is
currently
being
done.
Our
samples
are
sent
up
to
ohio
state
they're
being
sampled
up
there,
so
they're
going
to
basically
kind
of
cross
reference
those
samples
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
the
same
values.
G
C
L
I
think
it's
really
great
that
this
data
could
help
us
determine
if
spikes
are
going
to
be
happening
on
the
west
side,
the
east
side
or
the
south
side.
Is
there
any
plan
in
the
future
to
try
to
also
get
this
kind
of
data
from
the
north
side,
or
you
know
from
any
other
spots
in
athens
or
to
request
more
money
to
do
that.
G
How
we
we
possibly
could,
if
there's
more
coronavirus,
relief
coming
from
the
federal
government
in
2020,
2021,
rather,
okay,
there's
a
possibility
that
we
could
have
additional
testing
sites.
But
we
felt
that
this
pretty
much
covers
the
larger
swaths
of
what
we
would
be
seeing
coming
into
the
system
and
and
compare
that
in
a
lot
of
ways
to
what
the
viral
load
looks
like
from
the
five
campus
sites.
G
Campus
plans
to
have
theirs
ready
to
roll
january.
Have
it
actually
ready
to
go
before
the
students
do
come
and
move
back
into
the
residence
halls?
That's
the
main
thrust
from
the
university
is
to
look
at
the
the
residence
halls.
M
Are
there
any
other
questions
yeah?
I
would
just
think
that
I'm
certain
that,
because
the
city
will
be
working
with
the
health
department
and
the
university
in
watching
these,
the
numbers
and
compiling
the
data-
and
I
know
that
the
health
department
of
course
works
closely-
is
in
close
communication
with
ableness
hospital
and
ohio
health
as
the
as
is
the
university.
M
I'm
sure
that
that
will
be
beneficial
just
for
for
planning
purposes
on
everyone's
part
and
also
just
from
the
city's
perspective,
to
be
able
to
really
target
messages,
perhaps
to
to
neighborhoods
and
say,
hey
folks.
Here
you
know
we
really
need
to
be
mindful
of
of
our
our
daily
daily
behaviors
and
distancing
and
masking
just
because
of
of
the
information
we're
gathering.
So
I'm
I'm
excited
about
this
opportunity
for
the
city
and
if
there's
nothing
else,
then
that
that
concludes
this
committee
meeting.
Thank
you.
A
J
Thank
you.
I
move
that
we
adopt
135
20..
Second,
thank
you.
This
has
gone
through
by
close
to
six
months
of
looking
and
public
hearings
and
other
public
hearings.
It's
a
process
that
is
very
well
put
forth
by
the
orc.
The
ohio
provides
code
of
what
exactly
has
to
happen.
J
A
A
The
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
Thank
you.
Ordinance
136-20
is
an
ordinance
designating
the
zone
for
the
lyric
road
annexation
area
and
is
introduced
by
councilmember
fall.
J
Thank
you.
I
move
that
we
adopt
136
20..
Second,
thank
you
now
that
we
have
accepted
the
annexation
of
it.
Now
we
need
to
zone
it.
This
has
also
been
through
several
public
meetings,
public
hearings
and
other
types
of
meetings.
It
follows:
through
we
have
to
have
some
kind
of
zone
for
land.
That's
in
the
city.
It
will
be
zoned
r3.
M
Grace
I
I
just
want
to
very
briefly
thank
the
developers
who
have
have
really
been
willing
to
work
with
the
city,
have
come
to
multiple
council
meetings
and
and
different
commission
meetings,
and
have
been
just
just
really
great
to
work
with
and
open
to
communicating
and
sharing
their
ideas
and
hearing
what
we
would
like
to
see
happening.
So
I
just
wanted
to
to
add
that,
in
that
this
is
this,
is
I
I
look
forward
to
seeing
what
what
they're
able
to
do
as
far
as
affordable
housing
in
that
area.
A
If
not
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
I
oppose
nay,
the
motion
carries
in
the
ordinance
is
approved.
Thank
you,
jordan
is
137.
20
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
safety
director
to
enter
into
an
lpa
state
project
agreement
with
the
ohio
department
of
transportation
to
install
wet
reflective
pavement
markings
on
state
routes,
33
and
50,
and
declaring
an
emergency.
This
is
introduced
by
council
member
cotsas
president.
C
Nicely,
thank
you.
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
adopt
zero
137
20..
Second,
thank
you,
and
once
again
this
is
a.
This
is
a
job
that
odd
is
taking
on
on
us
50
and
33..
It's
a
it's!
A
repainting
of
of
some
of
the
markings
on
the
pavement
going
out
to
bid
in
march
happening
sometime
next
construction
season.
A
K
Thank
you,
president
eisley.
This
is
our
annual
budget
ordinance
service
safety.
Director
pyle
has
worked
very
hard
with
the
individual
departments
in
the
city
of
athens
and
the
auditor
and
the
mayor's
office
to
put
together
this
budget
in
a
very
difficult
year
and
projecting
into
what
will
prove
to
be
another
very
difficult
year.
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
they
put
together.
Very
extensive
budget
is
available
on
our
drive.
H
A
G
Brief
comment:
I
I'd
like
to
to
recognize
my
executive
assistant,
patty
whitmer,
put
in
countless
hours
collating
pulling
together
all
the
data
coming
from
the
department,
heads
and
all
departments
so
put
a
lot
of
time
into
this
and
really
has
been
the
lifeblood
of
synthesizing.
All
this
information.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
and
thanks
from
all
of
us
to
her
too,
all
right.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay,
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
A
The
next
ordinance
is
one
forty
one
twenty
and
this
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
2021
staffing
levels
and
non-union
compensation,
repealing
all
ordinances
inconsistent
there
with
and
declaring
an
emergency,
and
I
might
add,
on
this
process,
that
what
we're
going
to
be
suggesting
tonight
is
an
amendment
to
this,
and
this
would
be
to
be
adding
a
an
environmental
coordinator
and
the
description
of
the
pay
grade
levels
are
on
your.
The
google
drive
for
council
members
to
have
seen
before
this.
So
we'd
have
a
motion
and
second
to
amend.
A
K
K
Not
only
does
it
work
with,
you
know
our
environmental
regulations,
but
it
also
is
directly
connected
to
our
you
know
our
safety
to
our
to
our
sewage
department
and
our
water
department,
and
in
fact,
the
proposal
to
pay
for
this
position
is
to
pay
80
percent
of
the
position
from
our
storm
water
fees,
10
from
our
sewer
and
10
from
our
water
and
the
city,
residents
and
councils,
aware
that
we
have
proposed
raising
some
of
these
rates
primarily
to
to
pay
our
debt
obligations,
but
the
stormwater
fee
increase
specifically
will
help
fund.
K
This
proposed
position-
and
that
is
all
I
have
to
say
about
14120.
J
I
I
want
to
point
out
that
that
the
reporting
requirements
that
are
required
for
storm
water
management
and
the
other
types
of
management,
the
systems
that
we
have
that
are
going
to
be
overseeing
by
this
person,
is
really
important.
J
You
know,
we've
had
a
long
time
ago,
problems
with
epa
reporting
and
we've
gotten
our
hands
slapped,
and
so
this
is
a
really
important
position
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
all
the
requirements
that
we
have
to
follow
to
make
sure
that
health
and
safety
of
our
citizens
is
followed
and
is
reported
in
the
right
way
and
that
it's
a
system
that
really
is
working
and
that
we
can
count
on.
So
thank
you.
C
Yes,
thank
you,
and
you
know
I'm
if
we
can
always
figure
a
way
to
to
bring
these
these
types
of
operations
under
our
umbrella,
I'm
in
support
of
it.
You
know,
80
of
this
is
coming
from
those
those
those
storm
sewer
fees.
I'm
sorry,
I
think
I
got
that
incorrect,
but
those
fees
have
not
been
raised
in
a
decade.
So
I
I
don't.
I
don't
have
an
issue
with
with
seeing
an
increase
there
after
10
years.
M
A
Thank
you
any
other
comments
or
questions
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
second
for
amending
141,
20
and
we've
had
the
discussion
so
now
we'll
vote
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay,
okay,
the
motion
carries
the
ordinance,
has
been
amended
and
read
for
the
first
time.
Thank
you.
A
K
Thank
you,
president
eisley
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
adopt
zero
one.
Forty
two
twenty.
K
This
is
our
annual
fringe
benefit
package,
very
extensive,
as
you
can
imagine,
dealing
with
overtime,
vacation
retirement
insurance,
all
of
the
the
package
of
being
employed
by
the
city
of
athens
again,
this
is
for
non-union
personnel
and
I
look
forward
to
voting
for
it.
Thank
you.
A
J
Oh,
thank
you.
I
say
this
every
time.
This
comes
up.
It's
really
important
that
the
non-union
people
are
represented
by
us
because
we're
the
only
kind
of
representative
for
them
because
they
don't
have
a
union.
You
can
think
about
these
as
the
administrative
assistants
and
stuff,
that's
always
been
kind
of
left
in
the
wayside,
because
they
don't
have
unions.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
do
this.
Thank
you.
A
F
A
The
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
We
now
have
ordinances
for
second
reading,
and
for
these
I
will
be
reading
through
the
titles.
I
will
pause
briefly
after
each
one
so
that
if
there
is
a
comment
or
question
from
a
council
member
or
a
member
of
the
public,
we
have
an
opportunity
for
that
to
occur.
A
144
20
is
an
ordinance
adopting
the
2040
comprehensive
plan
for
the
city
of
athens
and
repealing
all
ordinances,
inconsistent
therewith
and
is
introduced
by
council
member
fall
ordinance.
145
20
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
mayor
to
submit
an
application
to
participate
in
the
appalachia
regional
commission,
governor's
office
of
appalachia
programs
and
to
execute
contracts,
as
required,
introduced
by
council
member
cotsas
ordinance.
146
20
is
an
ordinance
amending
ordinance,
2015,
athens
city
code,
title
vii,
parking
regulations,
chapter
7.05.26,
regulation
of
city,
parking
lots
and
declaring
an
emergency
and
is
introduced
by
council
member
katsis.
C
President
knightley,
yes,
I
I
do
have-
I
did
get
a
a
notification
today
that
I
do
need
to
amend
zero
one.
Forty
six,
twenty.
A
Okay,
and
so
you
have
a
motion
and
yes
for
amending
yes,.
C
And
this
this
comes
from
from
city
safety,
director
chief
pyle.
Basically,
he
would
like
to
add
some
additional
fees
that
have
that
come
through
the
processing
of
these
of
these
parking
fees,
just
to
go
back
just
a
little
bit.
140
620,
of
course,
is
our
parking
garage,
monthly
monthly
fees
that
people
would
have
if
they're
going
to
park
there
on
a
regular
basis.
C
What
chief
pyle
would
like
to
add
is
two
dollars
to
cover
an
online
fee,
two
two
dollars
to
cover
a
permit
fee
and
then
two
dollars
to
cover
the
merchant
processing
fee.
So
that
would
add
a
you
know:
a
total
of
six
dollars
to
the
to
the
fees
that
are
already
up
for
consideration.
C
So
I
will
also
remind
everyone
that
that
chief
pyle
in
this
or
or
any
of
the
the
ssds
will
have
the
the
opportunity
to
to
work
with
people
if,
if
they
are
purchasing,
say,
for
example,
multiple
parking
passes
and
and
producing
a
package
deal.
So
it's
just
another
way
to
make
sure
that
that
we
are
able
to
capture
the
the
amounts
that
we
need
to
in
order
to
continue
to
pay
off
the
improvements
to
the
parking
garage.
A
C
Is
which
are
the
credit
card
fees
you
know,
and
actually,
if
I
can
just
because
I
dealt
with
merchant
processing
fees
for
for
ages,
when
you,
you
know,
you
have
people
talking
about
shopping,
local,
local
and
things
like
that
whenever
you
pull
your
credit
card
out.
Three
percent
of
that
goes
directly
to
the
credit
card
company.
So
you
know
you
might
be
collecting
some
some
flight
miles
or,
or
you
know,
or
cash
back
or
things
like
that,
but
it
does
impact
the
the
local
retailer.
C
C
A
It
gives
us
a
fuller
understanding
of
what
the
fee
is
about.
Thank
you,
okay,
all
right,
so
we
have
the
motion
in
second
and
if
no
other
comments
or
questions
all
those
in
favor
of
amending
one,
forty
six
twenty
say:
aye
aye.
