Description
Athens City Council July 10, 2020
A
A
Many
things
are
in
order:
we've
gotten
guidance
from
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control
Gunnar
white.
In
my
DeWine
over
the
last
few
months.
More
recently
and
more
locally,
we
saw
a
spike
in
the
number
of
cases
in
the
county.
Our
mayor,
Steve
Patterson,
has
led
the
way
on
the
concern
regarding
the
spread
of
the
virus
and
what
we
might
do.
Referencing
the
Dayton,
then
Columbus
and
Cincinnati
ordinances
to
require
face
coverings.
Council,
member
croucher,
the
Dayton,
ordinance
and
I
know
that
all
council
members
have
responded
to
numerous
public
queries
out
of
the
conversations.
A
A
The
draft
document
we
have
her
review
tonight
recovers
face
requires
face
coverings
over
the
nose
and
mouth
in
certain
settings
and
its
complaint
driven
the
Athens
Police
Department's
empowered
to
enforce
this
an
issue:
a
100
dollar,
administrative,
fine,
with
an
appeals
process.
If
a
person
wishes
to
appeal
a
citation,
there
are
four
places
where
we
would
be
required
to
wear
a
face
covering
when
entering
and
exiting
or
waiting
in
line
a
place
of
business.
A
That's
open
to
the
public
and
well
inside
the
business
and
areas
intended
for
public
use,
any
city
building
any
public
transportation
like
the
buses
and
if
bus
stops
any
outdoor
space.
If
you
cannot
maintain
a
six-foot
distance,
there
are
also
12
exceptions,
a
medical
condition
or
developmental
disability
children
under
the
age
of
10,
if
you're
eating
or
drinking
at
a
restaurant
or
bar
schools
and
childcare.
A
From
our
discussion
tonight,
we'll
follow
our
usual
procedures.
We'll
have
comments
from
Council
members
leading
with
councilmember
grace
comments
from
our
mayor
and
other
elected
officials
and
following
this
with
any
members
of
the
public
who
may
wish
to
make
a
comment
or
direct
a
question,
and
we
will
have
a
three-minute
limit
for
the
comments.
So
thank
you
very
much.
We'll
start
with
councilmember
grace.
B
B
These
really
really
stood
out
to
me
as
critical
reasons
for
actively
doing
something
actively
speaking
to
our
community
and
highlighting
that
that
this
is
really
something
we
all
all
need
to
do
together.
In
the
past
couple
of
days,
I
know
I
have
seen
statements
from
many
beloved
local
businesses.
They
are
closing
some
do
to
staff
members
who
have
tested
positive
and
some
due
to
an
abundance
of
caution
just
because
of
the
rise
in
cases
in
our
in
our
region
and
I.
B
I
love
our
community
and
our
local
businesses,
and
the
evidence
is
absolutely
indisputable.
Wearing
face
masks
in
public
reduces
the
spread
of
this
disease
and
I
say
that
from
reading
countless
research,
studies
and
I
say
that
as
someone
with
a
master's
in
public
health,
this
is
this
is
not
a
fact
that
is
debated.
We
know
that
the
that
wearing
a
face
covering
helps
it
will
save
lives
and
if
we
want,
if
we
want
to
move
forward
as
a
community,
someone
use
the
language
with
me
that
you
know
this.
A
hashtag
save
fall
semester.
B
We
we
here
in
Athens
love
the
vibrancy
of
a
bus
student
community
and,
and
we
understand
the
value
of
in-person
interactions
in
in
all
levels
of
school,
and
we
then
we
have
a
responsibility
to
do
everything
we
can
to
slow
the
spread
of
this
disease
to
protect
everyone,
especially
the
vote
most
vulnerable,
and
to
to
make
it
possible
for
our
schools
and
our
businesses
to
reopen
and
as
quickly
as
possible,
that
those
are
those
are
my
reasons.
I
I,
think
I
think
it
is.
B
It
is
time
and
and
I
so
appreciate
all
the
work,
our
our
law
director
and
mayor
and
president
of
counsel
and
clerk
of
Council,
I
I
know
all
of
us
spent
a
lot
of
hours.
Working
on
this
in
a
short
time
and
I
really
appreciate
the
the
willingness
to
of
everyone
to
come
together
during
our
recess
and
discuss
this
and
bring
it
forward.
And
yes,
I
I
just
saw
a
message
from
president
nicely
pop
up,
I
think
but
I'll
address
that
again,
like
schools.
B
All
school
settings
are
excluded
because
we
do
not
have
the
authority
to
put
rules
in
place
in
school
building
in
for
school
districts
they
have
their
own
governing
body
and-
and
we
are
therefore
entirely
excluding
those
settings
from
this
ordinance,
but
what
we
do
everywhere
else,
what
we
do
at
the
gym
at
Kroger
at
a
restaurant,
even
even
standing
in
line
for
take-out,
will
influence
what
those
educational
facilities
are
able
to
do
and
so
I
think
it's
really
important
to
recognize
how
interconnected
our
entire
community
is-
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Thank.
A
B
C
C
This
is
our
responsibility
with
the
oath
of
Ossus
that
we
all
spoke,
which
we
all
are
hewing
to
when
we
protect
the
health
and
safety
and
welfare
of
our
citizens,
and-
and
this
is
exactly
why,
because
we
know
our
community
much
better
and
if
we
are
saying
we
need
to
have
universal,
you
know
face
coverings
in
the
most
places
that
we
can
logically
have
it
be
in,
and
that's
our
our
oath
of
office
and
our
right
as
home
rural
people
in
Athens
Ohio.
Thank
you.
D
Others
are
worried
that
people
are
gonna,
come
in
and
make
them
sick,
and
even
though
not
everybody
likes
to
think
about
this,
not
only
is
our
number-one
employer
in
town
Ohio
University,
but
those
students
really
enhance
our
local
economy
and
if
we
can't
flatten
the
curb
I'm
really
afraid
that
the
parents
of
some
of
the
öyou
students
won't
let
their
kids
come
here.
This
fall.
D
If
the
numbers
keep
shooting
up,
it
could
seem
like
too
dangerous
of
a
place
for
them
to
come,
and
so
we
as
a
community,
have
to
pull
together
to
wear
these
masks
and
flatten
the
curb
curve,
so
that
you
know
we
can
still
still
remain
a
good,
economically
beneficial
town
and
when
we
won't
get
further
devastated.
If
thousands
of
students
don't
become.
Thank
you.
Thank.
E
Thank
You
president
nicely
and
thanks
to
everyone
for
taking
the
time,
putting
all
this
effort
in
to
get
this
together
so
quickly.
I
know
it
wasn't
easy
and
I
wanted
to
stress
what
was
already
mentioned
by
member
grace.
How
important
it
is
that
this
go
into
place
to
help
our
most
vulnerable.
So
many
can
have
this
and
be
just
fine,
but
there
are
a
large
population
of
people
who
who
get
this.
E
F
Well,
first
of
all,
I
just
want
to
say:
I,
agree
100%
for
the
need
and
the
necessity
and
I
want
this
thing
passed
as
absolute
soon
as
possible,
I
mean
the
counts
going
up
and
I
know
there
are
people
out
there
who
will
object
to
it
and
there's
those
out
there
who
will
object
to
the
data
they
don't
like
what
they
see.
So
they
will
fall
into
denial
or
find
some
way
to
cuckoo
it.
But
unfortunately,
but
then
the
facts
speak
for
themselves.
If
we
are
in
a
crisis.
F
What
I
want
to
speak
to,
though,
is
the
section
on
exemptions
if
anyone's
following
they're
printouts
in
section
2,
paragraph
J
individuals,
while
acting
in
their
official
capacity
as
Public,
Safety,
employee
or
emergency
responders,
when
wearing
a
mask
covering,
would
interfere
with
or
limit
their
ability
to
carry
out
their
official
duties
or
functions,
I
want
what
I'm
wondering
is.
How
does
the
that
employee
in
a
situation
decide
for
themselves?
I
need
to
take
the
mask
off
and
the
reason
I'm
asking.
F
That
is
because
you
know
we
recently
had
a
demonstration
uptown
and
we
had
police
officers
walking
around
with
no
masks
on,
even
though
there
were
large
crowds
there
and
maybe
were
wearing
masks.
They
weren't
I've
heard
an
explanation
about
why
that
was.
But
what
I
fear
is
that
if
there
are
not
clear
guidelines
about
when
and
where
and
how
to
wear
a
mask
for
public
employees,
including
ourselves,
that's
not
setting
a
very
good
example
for
the
public.
F
So
I
would
really
like
to
see
somehow
this
stiffened
up
a
little
bit
to
policy,
not
necessarily
within
the
ordinance,
but
maybe
within
the
personal
policy
itself,
some
guidelines.
They
say
this
is
when
you
can
wear
it,
and
this
is
when
you
can't
and
just
because
it's
uncomfortable,
that's
not
a
reason
to
take
it
off.
A
G
G
H
D
Club
filter
I
have
a
question
and
then,
if
someone
would
be
willing
to
answer
it,
I
have
a
follow-up
comment.
First,
I
wonder:
if
I
am
reading
the
document
correctly
and
let
me
go
back
there,
please
in
part.
What
is
the
name
of
this
section?
Sorry,
this
is
section
9.12
0.01
in
definitions
where
it
said
it
starts
on
page
4
and
goes
to
page
5
in
the
first
full
paragraph
that
begins
at
the
bottom
of
page
4
and
goes
on
to
page
5.
D
D
Well,
you
know
it's
been
my
experience
that
in
churches
people
sit
close
together
in
synagogues.
They
sit
close
together
in
mosques
they
play,
they
pray
close
together
and
I've,
read
that
there
have
been
multiple
cases
in
the
United
States
of
choir
practices
in
churches,
where
something
like
80
or
90%
of
the
people
in
the
room
where
the
choir
is
practicing
come
down
with
coronavirus
because,
as
you
probably
know,
when
you
sing
the
the
droplets
the
the
virus
go
further
than
when
you're
just
talking
in
a
normal
voice.
D
B
Many
of
the
churches
in
Athens
are
not
open,
though
they
they
legally
could
be
the
the
ones
that
I
know
of
and
are
continuing
to
really
value
and
and
make
a
top
priority.
The
health
and
well-being
of
their
congregants
and
thus
are
are
continuing
to
hold
their
services
online,
and
so
that
I
I
would
certainly
personally
strongly
urge
everyone
to
to
continue
to
worship
from
home
and
and
can
and
I
I
certainly
hope
that
that
churches
will
continue
that
practice.
B
All
right,
I
do
know
of
some
churches
in
some
places
where
they
they
have
held
parking
lots
services
where
everyone
stays
in
their
car
and
but
hey.
But
those
are
my
thoughts
on
that.
If,
if
that
answers
your
your
question,
I,
don't
know
if
the
law
director
has
any
thoughts
on
our
authority
in
that
matter
that
she
wants
to
contribute.
Thank
You
member
grace.
C
Thank
you,
my
concern
when
hearing
people
say
well
we're
doing
it
for
the
vulnerable
people
right.
We
don't
know
how
and
that
kind
of
says.
Oh
the
younger
people
aren't
as
vulnerable,
but
they
act
as
vectors,
but
we
don't
know
exactly
what
happens
if
people
get
an
you
know
less
severe
case
of
Cove
in
nineteen.
We
do
not
know
the
long-term
implications
on
everything
from
neurology
to
oregon
issues
later
in
life.
There
were
issues
with
influenza
pandemic
that
there
were
things
later
in
life.
C
Everybody
knows
chickenpox,
you
can
get
shingles
later
in
life,
so
it's
very
important
that
everybody
is
at
risk
everybody
and
to
even
Honan
in
is
that
it
will
be
the
mother
of
all
preconditions
that
you
would
ever
never
ever
ever
want
with
insurance.
The
military
has
said
that
they
will
not
take
kovat
19
people
to
this.
It's
it's
I
think
we
need
to
emphasize
the
every
single
person,
no
matter
what
the
age
or
how
severe
you
may
get
it.
You
are
at
risk
for
some
severe
lifelong
impactful
experiences
that
you
would
probably
rather
not
get.
C
F
F
A
J
A
F
A
F
A
G
Thank
you
and
this-
and
this
was
to
help
a
member
reissner's
conversation.
I
did
I
did
have
I
didn't
have
a
call
with
the
city
county
or
the
upon
City,
County,
Health,
Department
and
right
now
the
space
requirements.
You
know
so
a
building
you
you
you're,
allowed
to
have
X
amount
of
people.
You
know
that's
rated
to
have
so
many
people
in
there.
It's
different
if
you
have
a
restaurant
versus
the
retail
space,
but
currently
right
now
there
are
new,
lower
lower
capacities
for
for
all
businesses
based
on
kovin.
A
D
If
we
could
jump
to
the
define
that
people
would
receive
if
they
violate
the
mask
ordinance,
it
sounds
like
it
would
be
$100
off
the
top,
and
if
people
do
not
successfully
appeal
that
or
pay
the
fine
within
30
days,
it
would
go
on
the
record
as
a
misdemeanor
to
me.
I
do
think
that
would
get
people's
attention
for
sure
and
that's
probably
why
you're
proposing
such
a
large
amount,
but
we
have
so
many
people,
who've
lost
their
jobs
and
are
unemployed
or
who
are
already
low
income
before
this
even
started.
D
That
I
just
wonder
if
that
would
be
hard
for
a
lot
of
people
to
pay
and
I.
Just
from
my
own
personal
opinion,
I,
just
wonder
if
it
would
make
sense
to
start
with
a
with
a
fee
of,
say
$50,
which
I
still
think
would
get
most
people's
attention
and
then,
if
there's
a
second
violation,
maybe
go
to
a
hundred.
But
a
hundred
seems
a
hundred
would
probably
be
fine
in
a
in
a
wealthy
place.
D
But
we
are
not
as
wealthy
as
we
were
in
January
and
I
think
it
could
be
considered
almost
punitive
to
people
who
are
struggling
financially
right
now,
who
might
actually
be
the
people
least
likely
to
have
a
mat,
a
mask
right
away
and
so
I
I
would
just
ask
you
to
think
about
that.
A
little
more,
please
councilmember,
grace
I.
B
I
felt
that
we
want
a
fine
that
nobody
wants
to
have
to
pay
and
I
also
to
the
enforcement
part
that
I
don't
think
there
will
be
a
single
instance
of
a
police
officer,
walking
up
to
someone
and
say:
hey
I
see
you
don't
have
a
mask
on
here's
your
hundred
dollar
fine.
This
is
this
will
be
something
that
is
handled
in
a
very
positive
supportive
way.
B
We
will
be
many.
Businesses
already
have
supplies
of
masks
that
they
are
willing
to
give
to
patrons,
and
this
is
likely
something
that
would
start
at
that
level
where
someone
in
a
business
is
not
wearing
a
mask
the
business
owner
says
to
be
here.
You
need
to
wear
a
mask.
If
you
don't
have
one
I
have
one
in
different
businesses
will
give
them
or
sell
them,
I
believe
and
I'll.
B
Let
someone
else
verify
this,
but
I
believe
that
we
as
a
city
are
also
going
to
be
working
to
very
soon
have
masks
available,
so
that
if
the
police
are
called
to
respond
to
someone
who
doesn't
have
a
mask
or
as
I'm
willing
to
mouth,
the
first
step
is
going
to
be.
You
need
to
wear
this
to
protect
those
who
are
around
you
here
is
a
mask,
and
here
are
some
information
about
why
it
will.
It
will
not
be
an
immediate
BAM
I
happen
to
see
you
sneaking
through
the
over
there.
B
D
B
Is
because
that
is
a
matter
of
enforcement
which
we
leave
to
the
executive
branch
of
our
government
in
terms
of
oh,
they
want
to
enforce
the
law
and
they
have
some
latitude
with
that,
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
it?
If
someone
does
not
appeal
or
does
not
pay
the
fine,
it
doesn't
automatically
become
a
misdemeanor
conviction.
They
then
they
receive
a
citation
to
come
to
court.
That
is,
and
it
is
a
misdemeanor,
so
I
take
a
minor
misdemeanor
citation
because
they
didn't
pay
the
fine.
B
There
are
lots
of
other
circumstances
where
that
can
happen,
and
often
if
someone
appears
in
court
and
says,
hey
I
got
this
citation
for
not
paying
a
fine,
the
judge
can
say:
have
you
paid
your
fine
now?
Yes,
I've
paid
my
fine
okay
case
dismissed,
so
it's
not
an
automatic,
they
didn't
do
it.
They
have
a
criminal
conviction,
and
so
that's
I
wanted
to
clarify
that
also
Thank.
E
Did
thank
you
I
appreciate
the
question
from
member
Claud
filter.
I
do
agree.
It
needs
to
be
at
that
at
the
level
of
100
dollars
and
I
appreciate
member
graces
explanation
of
how
what
that
would
look
like
in
reality
and
I
do
know
that.
Certainly
the
American
elaborate
he
has
mentioned,
possibly
using
some
of
the
cares
act,
funding
to
purchase,
masks
and
provide
those
for
free
to
the
public
and
to
some
businesses.
E
K
K
Going
back
to
March
I
believe
that
Governor
Dewayne
had
done
had
done
an
amazing
things
under
immense
pressure
with
a
lot
of
the
closings
of
different
businesses,
and
things
seem
to
be
going
in
a
real
positive
direction.
Even
to
the
point
that
at
one
point,
Governor
DeWine
had
mentioned
that
masts
were
going
to
be
mandatory
and
then
a
couple
days
later.
K
After
having
three
active
cases
for
over
six
weeks,
and
then
things
went
from
linear
to
exponential
we're,
seeing
more
and
more
cities
across
the
state
of
Ohio
taking
into
their
own
hands
a
way
in
which
they
can
protect
the
citizens
in
which
they
serve
by
having
masks
ordinances
and
for
the
city
of
Athens
to
take
this
up
at
this
point
in
time,
I
think
is,
as
elected
officials.
The
most
responsible
thing
that
we
can
possibly
be
doing
at
this
juncture
in
time
is,
as
was
indicated,
you
know.
K
K
The
present
that
has
increased
and
again
this
is
cumulative,
but
is
increased
to
eight,
so
nine
total
that
do
I
believe
is
telling
the
other
telling
thing
is.
If
you
look
closely
at
the
Health
Department,
they
often
City
Health
Department
out
in
the
city,
County
Health
Department's
daily
reports
is
not
just
the
number
of
cases,
but
the
number
of
active
cases,
as
councilmember
grace
has
pointed
out.
K
The
one
metric
that
I'm
always
looking
at
is
the
number
of
recovered
cases
and
in
comparison
to
the
number
of
active
cases,
we're
currently
at
76
active
cases
and
34
recovered
cases
not
more
than
then
six
or
four
days
ago
we
had
29
active
and
29
recovered.
So
we've
reached
that
point
in
which
the
actives
have
far
exceeded
the
number
of
recovered
cases
here
in
the
city
of
Athens
to
address
the
issue
of
nursing
homes
and
required
masking
that
kills
a
member
rise.
They're
brought
up.
K
But
I
think
that
that
is
worth
looking
at
the
language
council
memorizers
to
see.
If
we
truly
do
need
to
add
that
or
whether
that
is
being
managed
fun
to
itself
the
we
we
do
have
the
opportunity
to
use
charismatic
cares,
act,
money
or
a
portion
of
it
to
purchase
additional
face
coverings.
The
disposable
surgical
masks
for
businesses
that
need
them
to
distribute,
as
well
as
having
the
police
department,
have
extra
face
coverings
with
them
as
they're
out
and
about
we're
also
going
to
be
using
some
of
the
carries
act
funding
to
produce.
K
Hopefully
this
Tuesday,
we
will
have
one
or
two
thousand
uniform
signs
that
can
be
posted
in
business,
on
their
doors
or
windows
or
somewhere.
That's
highly
visible
and
recognizable
to
where
it's
a
uniform
message
that
is
going
out.
That
speaks
to
the
mandatory
nature
of
having
to
have
face
coverings
to
come
into
that
place
of
business.
We
are
also
looking
at
on
the
big
belly
trash
receptacles
in
the
Uptown
area,
having
wraps
put
on
them
that
are
reminders
to
people
that
you
are
required
to
wear
a
face
covering
when
out
in
the
public.
K
I
do
want
to
speak
briefly
if
I
may
to
the
issue
of
the
schools
that
came
up
earlier.
This
was
indicated.
The
optin
City
School
District,
any
school
district
has
its
own
governing
body
to
include
the
school
board.
We
have
no
jurisdiction
over
our
--then
City
School
District.
That
holds
true
as
well
for
universities
and
colleges,
State
University,
Ohio
University.
K
K
I,
don't
you
know
councilmember
Clodfelter,
you
mentioned
flattening
the
curb,
what
we're
seeing
in
Athens
right
now,
Parkins
of
the
language
and
the
conversations
that
were
being
had
back
in
early
March
in
doing
what
we
needed
to
do
to
flatten
the
curve
and
here's
how
we
can
flatten
the
curb.
And
if
you
look
at
our
curve
right
now,
it's
an
upward
trajectory.
It's
weird.
You
know
in
looking
at
this
and
I'm,
not
saying
this
is
an
alarmist
I'm.
C
K
K
We
were
just
recently
informed
that
the
the
last
major
organizer
that
being
Ohio
brew
week,
that
they
were
hoping
that
maybe
things
would
would
change
throughout
through
the
summer
later
on
in
the
summer,
but
the
executive
director
for
a
homebrew
week
has
pulled
the
plug
on
this
year's
event,
with
the
hope
that
things
will
be
better
next
summer
to
where
they
can
re-engage
again.
They
will
do
some
virtual
things,
but
they're
there.
K
K
K
K
There
is
testing
going
on
here
in
Athens,
there's
testing
at
poblanos
Hospital.
There
is
testing
at
at
Holzer
clinic,
there's,
also
testing
that
can
be
done
at
CVS,
Pharmacy
drive-through
on
East,
8th
Street.
You
do
not
need
to
call
and
schedule
a
time
to
do
any
testing
at
the
CVS
on
the
State
Street.
K
However,
again
I
can't
stress
this
enough.
If
you
suspect
that
you
are
you're
you're
exhibiting
symptoms
of
CO
vat19,
you
need
to
contact
your
primary
care
provider
and
if
you
don't
have
one
Oh
Glenn
s,
Hospital
OhioHealth
will
work
with
you.
If
you
don't
have
a
primary
care
provider,
but
you
need
to
go
through
the
proper
assessment
through
your
primary
care
provider
and
then
they
will
call
over
to
that
where
the
testing
takes
place
for
Owen
s
hospital
and
not
overwhelmed
and
already
increased
load,
emergency
room
at
Oh,
Blin
s,
hospital
and
so
again.
K
I
can't
stress
that
enough,
Oh
Blin
s
Hospital,
has
seen
a
significant
rise
in
people
coming
into
the
emergency
room,
but
again
the
the
the
proper
way
for
being
tested.
If
you're
concerned
that
you
may
have
covered
nineteen
is
to
go
through
your
your
primary
care,
physician
or
again,
you
can
go
through
CB
s
and
be
tested
there.
K
C
One
less
becomes
another
casting
yeah.
What
about
tracing?
How
because
I
think
that
there
hasn't
been
a
lot
of
information
for
people,
so
we're
getting
some
more
questions
about
tracing
they're,
doing
contact
tracing
through
the
health
department,
those
sort
of
things
it's
not
like
these
cases
are
just
arriving
and
they
go.
Oh
look
at
that.
There's
other
things
that
happen
behind
each
one
and
contact
tracing
and
stuff,
so
that's
happening.
Thank
you
that.
K
That
is
probably
the
the
vast
majority
of
the
workload
that's
going
on
with
the
health
department.
Right
now
is
contact
tracing
they're,
they're,
doing
I
believe
at
this
point
a
great
job
at
doing
the
contact
tracing
they
haven't
been,
they
have
a
heavy
load,
they
haven't
been
overwhelmed,
but
they
have
a
heavy
load.
K
A
A
H
A
A
You
yes,
so
thanks
for
asking
that
and
then
councilmember
Crowell.
If
is,
if
we're
through
the
initial
discussion
amongst
the
council
members.
Yes,
we
would
like
to
open
it
up
to
questions
from
attendees
or
comments
that
they
may
have
to
make.
I
will
be
setting
the
timer
and
it
will
be
three
minutes
that
people
have
if
they
have
a
comment
that
they
wish
to
make,
and
we
can
proceed
with.
We
can
proceed
with
some
of
those
with
the
help
of
Scott
Thompson,
our
co-host
here
on
the
zoom
meeting.
A
N
N
I
live
at
176,
North,
Congress,
Street
I
am
just
chiming
in
I've,
already
mentioned
a
few
times
in
the
chat
that
I
do
not
understand
the
exception
for
bars
and
restaurants
on
613
30th,
dr.
pouchy
listed
bars
as
the
riskiest
setting
and
after
we
have
reopened
our
bars
and
restaurants
on
Court
Street.
That's
part
of
when
we've
seen
these
massive
spikes
in
cases
throughout
the
city,
so
it
doesn't
really
make
any
sense
to
me
to
list
an
exception
for
two
very
high-risk
areas.
N
In
fact,
council
and
grace
even
mentioned
how
multiple
businesses
have
already
had
to
shut
down,
because
their
employees
are
become
are
becoming
vectors
of
infection
because
they
are
being
infected
and
I.
Think
that's.
Another
thing
needs
to
be
understood.
Is
that
this
isn't
just
about
people
going
to
restaurants
and
bars
who
are
choosing
to
make
these
risks?
There
are
people
who
are
being
economically
coerced
or
coerced
via
the
website
that
was
made
by
Ohio
Department
of
Job
and
Family
Services
to
report
people
who
would
not
be
going
back
to
work.
N
Employees
are
being
coerced
to
go
back
into
jobs
that
this
City
Council
is
currently
failing
to
make
safe.
There's,
no
strong
reason.
We
should
be
creating
exceptions
for
what
has
already
been
established
as
some
of
the
riskiest
settings
where
we
already
have
employees
getting
sick
because
their
employers
aren't
enforcing
these
policies
on
their
own.
Trusting
employers
has
evidently
failed
and
I
think
it's
it's
highly
irresponsible
for
the
concerns
of
I'm,
not
sure
I,
guess
it
wasn't
fully
explained
during
the
meeting.
N
But
what
appears
to
be
the
concerns
of
business
owners
to
overrule
the
concerns
of
employees
and
the
community
at
large
that
will
be
affected
by
exponential
growth,
as
we
make
exceptions
for
the
most
risky
settings
in
which
people
are
congregating
specifically
to
take
off
their
masks.
Discuss
talk,
drink
what-have-you,
I'd,
really,
love
to
hear
an
explanation
as
to
why
that
oversight
was
made
and
why
that
was
not
a
concern
of
the
City
Council,
the
employees
of
these
bars
and
restaurants,
or
the
specific
advice
of
the
head
epidemiologist
in
the
country.
Thank.
A
You
Erin
for
making
the
comment,
and
perhaps
I
was
reading
a
little
bit
too
fast.
When
I
read
the
12
exceptions
is
only
while
you're
eating
or
drinking
at
the
restaurant
bar.
So
at
other
moments,
when
you're
waiting
or
if
you
get
up
from
your
table
to
go
to
the
restroom.
And
you
leave
your
area
where
you
might
be
with
your
family
and
you're
walking
through
the
general
crowd.
You're
put
on
your
mask,
but.
N
A
A
J
My
name
is
Kelly
Blauser
I
live
at
135,
North,
Lancaster
Street
and
first
I'd
like
to
say
I'm
in
complete
agreement
with
everything
that
Aaron
just
brought
up
right
now.
The
state
of
Ohio
Department
of
Health
says
that
6.7%
of
tests
that
they
have
run
him
come
back
positive,
that's
one
out
of
every
15,
the
people.
So
if
there
are
15
people
on
a
bar
like
in
a
bar
on
a
patio,
that
means
odds
are
one
of
is
positive
by
their
statistics
and
I
know.
J
That's
a
simplification,
but
I
think
that's
really
important
that
we
look
at
it
now.
My
and
you've
all
mentioned
flattening
the
curve.
But
what
you
fail
to
mention
is
that
when
we
flatten
the
curve
we
were
in
lockdown,
we
didn't
have
open
bars.
We
didn't
have
open
restaurants,
we
didn't
have
open
coffee
shops
like
it's
a
very
different
situation
that.
J
This
list
of
exemptions
basically
reads
like
a
laundry
list
of
high-risk
situations,
so
I
just
really
fail
to
understand
how
it's
worth
going
through.
What
is
certain
to
be
a
bit
of
a
struggle
to
enforce
these
mask
regulations
when,
in
essence,
here
at
the
same
time
avoiding
enforcing
them
in
all
of
the
high-risk
situations?
J
That
really
matter
like
this
is
not
a
no
like
a
situation
where
we
can
kind
of
compromise,
like
health
professionals
have
emphasized
that
it's
not
just
math
worrying
but
consistent
mask-wearing
that
is
important
here
and
so
to
have
these
gaps,
particularly
as
Aaron
said
at
bar
environments,
where
I
mean
something
like.
Are
you
eating
and
drinking
you're
perpetually
eating
and
drinking
in
a
bar
environment
or
in
a
restaurant
environment?
J
So
no
I,
don't
think
that
that's
going
to
keep
us
safe
and
I
would
strongly
urge
all
of
you
to
look
at
this
list
of
exemptions
like
I
want
to
know
which
of
these
exemption
ste.
You
have
the
power
to
take
off
of
this,
because,
frankly,
with
these
exemptions,
none
of
us
are
going
to
be
safe.
That's
all
I
have
to
say
there.
Thank
you.
So
much.
B
Hey
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
in
the
process
of
working
on
this
ordinance,
we
did
not
take
any
of
the
list
of
exemptions
lightly
at
all,
and
I
would
like
to
ask
a
law
directly
and
if,
if
she
would
speak
to
councils
authority
or
lack
thereof,
to
regulate
whether
which
businesses
may
be
open
or
not.
At
this
time,.
I
When
we
were
looking
at
what
the
exemptions
are,
we
recognize
the
Ohio
Department
of
Health,
their
mandate
of
six
feet
between
tables
or
groupings
and
in
this
exemption
clearly
stated
that
if
a
patron
is
not
at
their
table,
then
they
have
to
wear
a
face
mask
it's
something
that
council
can
further
discuss.
I,
don't
believe
that
we
are
going
to
have
the
authority
to
completely
shut
down
a
business.
I
am
fairly
confident
of
that
and
that's
to
further
discuss
that
they
they
certainly
can.
A
P
A
L
Name
is
yeah
you're
a
little
bit
4590
to
that
summer,
road,
but
I
do
get
in
to
Assam
quite
a
bit
and
my
second
important
books.
They
predict
how
climate
change
would
cause
this
disease
and
I.
Think
you
guys
should
look
into
that.
I
also
take
you
to
the
red
phase
with
the
probe,
please
rally
for
attempted
murder,
assault
and
other
crimes
for
not
further
than
that,
and
not
only.
That
example
is
the
congee.
L
This
resolution
doesn't
need
to
be
passed
for
people
to
be
charged
with
attempted
murder,
actually
person
premeditated
murder,
the
case
already
expertise
about
it.
I
wear
a
gas
mask
and
it
works.
Fine
doesn't
bother
me
at
all
to
think
along
stronger
and
I,
often
minister
of
sacred
space,
Church
I've
been
doing
polar
than
here.
You
know
people
don't
have
to
go
to
church
these
things.
Now
they
can
interested
online
and
one
of
my
sermons
that
God
wants
people
to
social
distance
so
and
the
other
things
I
do
want
council
to
you.
L
A
I'm
going
to
ask
a
question
for
just
before
we
begin
with
mr.
swag
I
need
to
direct
Scott
Thompson.
If
he
could
do
a
double
check.
Somebody
said
they
were
wanting
to
know
note
that
they
were
speaking
I'm,
not
sure
how
that
indicates
for
you
and
the
cue
Scott,
but
if
you
could
do
a
double
check
for
us,
that
would
be
great.
Thank
you.
So
much
we're
trying
to
recognize
everybody
that
does
want
to
speak
or
make
a
comment.
We
now
have
mr.
Ellis
fight.
Q
Thank
You
Allen
Swank
forty
town
someplace
here
in
Athens,
first
of
all,
like
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
council
members
who
have
asked
through
email
and
answered
questions
to
email
this
week.
It's
been
quite
a
load,
have
two
very,
very
quick
questions.
First
question
does
counsel,
have
the
authority
to
have
businesses
require
masks
as
an
example,
the
Costco
company?
I
Well,
in
this
ordinance,
it's
a
mandate
that
in
a
business
that
you
wear
a
mask,
a
private
business
can
certainly
make
a
decision
about
who
comes
into
the
business
and
who
doesn't
and
if
the
private
business
doesn't
want
someone
in
because
they
don't
wear
a
mask,
then
certainly
just
like
Costco.
They
can
ask
the
person
to
leave
in
this
situation.
I
Look,
there's
sign
on
the
door
that
says
that
this
community
enforces
their
mask
ordinance,
I'm,
asking
you
to
wear
a
mask
if
the
person
would
refuse,
then
this
is
complaint
driven
and
has
certainly
a
phone
call
could
be
made
to
the
police
to
come
and
have
a
discussion
with
the
person
they
are
about
wearing
a
mask
and
perhaps
give
them
information
about
why
you
need
to
wear
a
mask
and
provide
the
mask.
So
private
businesses
do
have
the
right
to
decide
who
comes
onto
their
property.
They
could
certainly
say
to
a
person.
I
Q
That's
good
and
that's
that's
a
perfect
segue
to
question
number
two
today,
I
had
to
run
down
to
one
of
the
local
big-box
stores
to
get
some
repair
materials
and
quite
a
few
people
were
in
the
store
without
masks.
Quite
a
few
well,
over
50%
people
have
different
views
on
masks,
but
if
a
person
wanted
to
file
a
complaint,
who
should
they
complain?
Who
should
they
call?
What
would
be
the
process
for
that?.
B
Well,
this,
our
local
police
department,
has
the
authority
to
issue
citations
for
this
order.
So
if
that
that
would
be,
I
would
recommend
calling
the
non-emergency
number,
and
you
could
also
request
that
the
proprietor
or
manager
of
the
the
business
first
initiate
that
conversation
with
a
customer
and
and
then
if
they
could
also
decide
whether
or
not
they
wanted
to
follow
up
with
a
call
to
the
police
department.
Great.
Q
Well,
what
I'm
trying
to
avoid
here
is
what
could
possibly
be
a
very
contentious
situation,
because
there
are
people.
You
know
unfortunately,
adamant
on
both
sides
of
this
issue,
where
there
really
shouldn't
be
sides
and
waiting
for
you
know
mr.
lead
to
confrontations
but
appreciate
your
answers.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
action
on
this
council.
Okay,.
A
R
My
name
is
Britton
Posey
I
live
on
force
to
drive
in
Athens
mayor
Paterson
present
nicely
distinguished
councilmembers.
Thank
you
for
taking
my
question
and
allowing
me
to
ask
these
important
important
details.
I
work
in
a
hotel
and
restaurant
in
the
local
area
and
being
back
on
that
after
being
furloughed
for
eight
weeks,
it
has
seen
a
boom
in
business,
which
is
great
for
the
area.
However,
it
has
caused
much
concern
not
just
to
me
but
to
fellow
employees
and
also
fellow
guests
that
come
and
stay
with
us
and
visit
Athens.
R
Is
you
know,
like
the
previous
caller
said,
there
is
very
there's
a
very
big
debate
about
this,
unfortunately,
and
I
guess.
My
first
question
is
how
do
businesses
protect
themselves
for
those
that
refuse
to
comply
with
the
mask
words?
And
you
know
I,
don't
know
you
know
Councilwoman
very
spoke
on
this.
You
know
I
guess
to
involve
the
local
police
department,
but
at
what
level
you
know,
do
we
take
care
of
this.
R
Thank
you
for
that
answer.
The
other
big
question
I
get
I
am
24,
21,
25
and
often
Athens
and
oh
you
especially
with
students.
Come
back,
is
known
for
its
party
culture
and
that's
not
something
that's
alive
and
well
in
Athens,
I,
myself
don't
take
part,
but
many.
My
age
do.
It
has
been
very
alarming
to
see
around
the
city
of
Athens
that
house
parties
have
continued
with
no
social,
distancing,
I,
wonder
how
Council
is
addressing
this
and
I.
R
Don't
know
if
it's
in
the
order,
specifically
foremast,
but
house
parties
are
obviously
a
big
issue
and
often
in
other
areas
you
know
such
as
Florida
and
have
been
the
cause
of
big
spikes
in
cases.
So
I
wanted
to
know
how
Council
was
addressing
this
and
how
the
police
department
is
taking
this
very
seriously
on
complaints
at
house
parties
and
large
gatherings.
Okay,.
A
K
Thank
You
president
Isley,
and
thank
you
caller
on
this,
so
the
police
department,
the
governor's
order,
is
still
in
effect
and
as
I
understand
it,
it's
indefinite
for
gatherings
of
10
or
more
unrelated
individuals,
and
so
the
police
department
will
respond
to
gatherings
they
see
and
remind
them
about
and
and
basically
mandate
that
they
disperse
from
that.
From
from
that
area,
we
also
have
the
nuisance
party
ordinance
that
we
use
again.
K
You
know,
and
they
can
say
this
is
a
city
mandate.
This
is
being
requested
because,
as
I
understand
it
a
lot
of
businesses
that
even
those
that
are
requiring
now
for
face
coverings,
if
someone's
coming
into
their
establishment
that
they're
getting
pushed
back
and
other
than
issuing
a
trespass
or
something
like
that
or
claiming
that,
if
someone
won't
leave,
maybe
a
lot
of
businesses
feel
like
they
don't
have
enough
to
behind
them
to
be
able
to
enforce
that,
and
this
ordinance
will
certainly
help
with
that.
C
Quickly
to
follow
up
on
the
mayor,
Patterson
was
saying:
business
is
now
required
shoes
and
shirt
service,
especially
restaurants,
and
things,
and
if
you
don't
have
shoes
or
shirts,
they
can
ask
you
to
leave
and
that's
a
very
common
thing
and
it
happens
all
the
time
and
so
with
the
mandate.
It
will
definitely
help
employees
be
able
to
ask
that
of
people,
but
most
businesses
if
they're,
especially
in
servers.
C
A
S
I'm
sherry
Oliver,
I
love
it
1:26,
Lamarr,
Drive
I,
want
to
thank
council
and
the
mayor
for
moving
this
through
so
quickly.
I
feel
like
this
is
incredibly
important,
especially
as
our
numbers
continue
to
rise
every
day.
I
do
want
to
ask
if
either
councilor.
The
mayor
can
comment
on
the
exemption
for
responders.
K
K
But
if
a
police
officer
is
let's
say,
there's
been
a
complaint,
for
you
know
a
theft
at
a
store
or
something
like
that.
The
police
officer
is.
It
has
been
told
that
you
will
wear
a
mask
when
you
get
out
and
when
you
are
dealing
with
the
store
manager
or
whatever,
and
so
that's
our
our
the
way
things
are
going
to
be
managed
moving
forward.
K
Even
if
an
officer
were
to
let's
say,
come
up
to
a
house
that
is
having
a
house
party
where
there's
clearly
more
than
than
10
unrelated
people
that
are
at
on
the
porch
or
something
like
that
that
they
would
wear
a
face
mask
when
they
went
up
to
that
porch
as
well
to
it
address
that
situation.
But
if
there
is
something
serious
going
on
that
requires
them
to
not
have
to
wear
that
mask.
T
Is
this
for
me,
this
is
I'm.
Sorry,
thank
you.
So
much
Thank
You
counsel
for
pass
the
floor.
I'm
taking
this
up.
This
is
really
important.
Thank,
You,
Merce,
mayor
Paterson,
very
very
briefly-
is
there?
Is
there
a
feasible
way
for
the
police
to
to
pass
out
masks
to
those
who
are
not
wearing
masks
before
issuing
citations
or
fines
that
that
be
step?
One
I
know
they're
doing
that
in
some
cities
my
name
is
Steve
Richter
I'm.
T
K
K
Response
by
the
place
to
something
that
there
will
be
a
warning,
but
if
the
individual
persists
to
wear
it,
then
they
will
be
cited.
Your
your
comment
about
the
facemask
giving
a
face
mask
first,
is
not
a
bad
one.
At
all.
Again,
we
certainly
can
use
some
of
the
cares
act.
Money
for
kovat
19
that
has
come
to
the
city
to
where
our
officers
do
have
a
cache
of
these
disposable
face,
masks
that
they
can
can
hand
out,
but
you
raise
a
good
point.
A
P
I
was
wondering
if
we
get
information
from
the
contact
tracing
yeah
a
little
in
1381
place.
If
we
get
information
from
the
contact
tracing,
that
would
help
identify
possible
sources
or
pinpoints
of
where
the,
where
the
infections
are
occurring
or
coming
from,
would
that
help
decide
what
could
be
needs
to
be
closed
down
or
what
needs
to
be
limited
or
or
what
moves
we
need
to
make
other
than
what
we've
making
now.
A
Thanks
for
the
for
the
question
and
I'll
attempt
some
of
this,
but
I
also
want
to
draw
it
a
law
director
to
I
know,
there's
been
some
other
questions
on.
Could
we
close
bars
could
be
called
the
sale
of
alcohol
and
this
law
director
I?
Think
the
last
thing
you
indicated:
that's
something
that
the
governor,
you
know,
Kay
honor,
you
know,
has
the
authority
over
and
the
city
does
not
have
jurisdiction
to
create
law.
That
would
be
different
from
what
the
state
law
would
be
so
blond
director
Eliassen.
I
P
Asked
if
there
was
information
through
contact
tracing
that
will
help
us
identify
places
or
sources
of
infection
that
we
could
help
that
we
help
us
decide
what
steps
to
take
other
than
the
ones
were
taking
now,
like
maybe
closing
down
bars
and
restaurants
and
I.
Think
if
we
found
that
there
were
serious
number
of
infections
that
could
be
traced
back
to
a
certain
party
or
a
certain
event,
we
would
probably
do
something
about
that.
So.
I
K
I
I
mean
I,
can
can
tell
you
what
what
I
know
in
my
conversations
almost
daily
with
the
public,
you
know
mouthing
City
County
Health
Department
is
because
of
HIPAA
there's
only
certain
information
that
can
be
dispersed.
They
cannot,
they
cannot
issue
out,
addresses
and
things
of
that
nature
and
with
contact
tracing
they
can't
with
that
either
I
mean
that
falls
under
health
guidelines
or
at
HIPAA
the.
K
What
what
they
do,
though,
is
for
first
responders
EMS
fire
in
police.
Those
are
addresses
if
they
are
within
your
jurisdiction.
They
are
issued
to
those
entities
so
that
they
know
if
they're
having
to
respond.
They
know
what
they're
responding
to,
but
that
is
not
information
that
is
available
to
the
to
the
public.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
it's
it's
typically
not
information.
That's
even
available
to
me
I.
P
K
We
are,
we
do
have
access
to
information
about
active
and
in
total,
and
also
recovered
cases
within
the
city
of
Athens
that
data
Miss
Walker
we
can
get,
but
we
can't
get
it
to
where
it
hones
down
to
say
what
the
numbers
are.
Looking
like
in
a
neighborhood
on
the
west
side
or
the
south
side
or
the
central
central
core
of
the
city.
A
U
Brian
Clark

Ohio.
First
I
want
to
commend
the
City
Council
as
well
as
our
citizens,
for
their
apparent
general
support
for
this
I
think
the
data
clearly
suggests
wearing
masks,
reduces
disease
transmission
and
it
seems
like
it's,
a
no
brainer.
The
other
thing
I'm
hearing
from
people
in
the
community
is
a
concern
about
the
hotspots
of
infection
relating
back
to
bars
and
restaurants
and
I.
U
Think
I
would
go
a
step
further
and
likely
link
it
back
even
closer
to
bars,
based
on
the
epidemiological
data
that
I've
seen
and
I'm
hearing
our
law
director
say
that
we're
sort
of
hamstrung
from
state
orderers
about
that.
We
really
can't
do
anything
about
that.
So
I
guess
I
would
encourage
our
council
members
to
think
about
alternative
and
creative
strategies
to
mitigate
those
hotspots.
I,
don't
know
the
answer
to
that,
but
I
think
some
creative
legal
sleuthing
could
likely
lead
to
interesting
ways
to
hats,
particularly
alcohol.
U
A
M
Claudia

Drive.
This
goes
along
with
the
comments
already
made
and
the
concern
for
the
bars
and
I
just
have
kind
of.
It
may
be
a
solution
for
this
if
we
are
following
the
distancing
ordinance
couldn't
that
be
translated
to
maximum
capacity
for
establishments
and
then
to
make
sure,
then
that
we
enforce
at
that
way,
so
that
we
avoid
those
crowded
places
where
people
can
just
take
their
masks
off.
M
A
Thank
you
for
the
comments.
It's
a
good
idea
and
we
probably
you
know
as
part
of
our
education
program,
to
to
be
able
to
share
with
the
businesses
some
suggestions
on
that
you
know
and
how
there
and
also
work
with
them
on
how
they're
maintaining
that
six-foot
distances.
Mary
Patterson
did
you
have
a
comment
on
that?
I
did.
K
To
kind
of
follow
on
to
what
miss
Claudia,
Gonzales
vallejo
was
saying
that
you
know
the
governor's
directive
for
reopening
and
in
particular
for
bars
and
restaurants.
It's
it's
clearly
stated
in
there
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
set
up
whatever
their
square
footage
is
for
where
the
patrons
said
that
they
have
to
maintain
six
foot
of
distance
between
groups.
K
Groupings
of
people
that
do
come
in,
which
is
a
little
disconcerting
I
feel
like
that.
That
was
kind
of
a
flaw
in
the
governor's
directive,
but
there
already
is
basically
by
by
the
square
footage
of
the
space
and
the
six
foot
separation
that
they,
that
kind
of
by
default
creates
a
limit
to
how
many
people
can
actually
be
in
an
establishment.
But
but
Claudia
I.
Clearly,
AM
aware
that
there
were
several
places
that
completely
disregarded
that
over
the
past
weekend
or
two
in
terms
of
social
distancing,
which
was
extremely
disturbing
and.
A
B
Thank
you,
I
was
just
wanting
to
bring
that
comment
into
the
public
discussion
as
well
and
and
to
amplify
that
by
saying.
None
of
us
here
think
that
if
we,
if
everybody
just
wears
a
mask-
and
that's
that's
the
only
thing-
we
do
that
suddenly
everything's
gonna
be
all
sunny
and
rosy
and
that
this
is
gonna
fix
everything
we.
B
We
want
to
be
very
aware
that
anyone
that
we
interact
with
we
could
possibly
be
spreading
this
disease
to
them.
Whether
we
have
any
symptoms
or
not,
and
I
just
want
to
highlight
that's
what
wearing
mask
is
about.
It
is
about
recognizing
each
individual's
responsibility
to
think
of
and
care
for
their
community.
This
is
about
doing
what
we
can
to
keep
our
neighbors
safe
and
healthy.
I
have
wonderful,
dear
neighbors,
that
I
love
that
are
at
high
risk
for
this
disease.
My
parents
live
not
far
away.
They
are
high
risk
to
this
disease.
B
There
are
children
and,
as
member
Paul
mentioned
earlier,
everyone
is
at
risk
because
we
don't
know
what
the
long-term
complications
of
this
disease
could
be.
I
read
a
study
from
a
hospital
in
London
there
were
serious,
neurological,
symptoms
related
to
the
disease,
neurological
symptoms
and
people
who
had
no
respiratory
symptoms,
even
there's
so
much.
We
still
have
to
learn
medically
about
this,
but
we
do
know
that
it's
better
to
not
get
it
and
it's
better
like
I
I
want
to
do
everything.
I
can
do
not
risk
possibly
infecting
anyone
else.
B
Anyone
and
I
think
that
member
cots
is
said
it
really
well.
If,
if
this
saves
one
person
from
being
on
a
ventilator
it,
it
is
worth
it
it
and
and
I
just
I
want
to
highlight.
Don't
don't
think
now,
people
are
gonna,
wear
masks
and
that's
the
solution
keep
in
mind.
This
is
part
of
a
plan,
part
of
it
part
of
an
approach.
Wear
mask,
maintain
distance
and
just
think
of
it
as
one
of
thing,
one
of
the
things
we
can
do
to
keep
our
whole
community
healthy
and
strong,
vibrant,
socially
and
economically.
A
K
I'll
be
brief.
President
Isley
I
do
want
to
point
out
to
anyone
who's
who's
on
this
tonight,
I
increase
people
to
go
to
corona
corona
virus.
Oh
hi,
Oh
gov.
There
is
a
public
health
advisory
system
that
has
but
put
into
place.
It's
pretty
simple.
It's
color
coding
on
a
number
scale
to
where
level
one
which
is
yellow
is
public.
Emergency,
active
exposure
level.
Two
is
level
two
public
emergency
as
increased
exposure
and
spread.
K
Athens
County
is
currently
at
level
two,
and
so
people
might
be
thinking
about
this
while
we're
doing
it
now
and
what
could
be
going
on
in
the
rest
of
the
county
and,
unfortunately
or,
however,
you
want
to
think
of
it
level.
Three
public
emergency,
which
is
very
high
exposure
and
spread
limited
activity
as
much
as
possible.
It's
at
level
three,
which
is
red,
color
coded
red,
that
governor
DeWine
has
been
enacting,
countywide
face
coverings,
and
so,
as
I
understand
it.
O
My
name
is
Cynthia
Bronte
I'm
live
on
Blackburn
Road
in
Athens.
I
have
concerns.
I
have
kids
going
to
the
fair
for
4-h.
How
are
they
going
to
enforce
the
face
masks
at
the
fair
will
that
be
solely
on
the
fair
board
and
the
fair
committee
members,
or
will
they
have
some
type
of
backup
to
help
with
that.
H
The
necessity
to
eat
or
drink
means
that
your
mask
has
to
be
removed
in
order
to
do
that,
but
I
don't
know
if
a
sense,
it's
remembered
grace
if
we're
allowed
by
rules
to
read
through.
Certainly
these
exceptions,
because
lots
of
people
are
talking
about
the
exceptions
and
there
aren't
really
that
many
exceptions
and
I
want
to
make
it
clear
and
if
we're
gonna
pass,
if
we're
gonna
do
this,
you
know
quickly
through
emergency
session
on
Monday
is
their
album
of
reading
through
the
entire
ordinance,
or
at
least
some
of
them
very
pregnant
I.
A
Think
the
the
sections-
and
that
would
be
fine,
I,
think
the
be
it
ordained.
I,
don't
know
that
we
need
all
the,
whereas
is
alright,
no
County
just,
but
certainly
the
the
four
conditions
under
which
we're
requiring
it
and
then
the
twelve
exceptions
and
councilmember
grace.
You
want
to
read
through
those
yes.
B
Absolutely
thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
be
it
ordained
by
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Athens,
Ohio,
section
one
effective.
Immediately.
All
individuals
within
the
city
of
Athens
shall
wear
a
face
covering
over
the
individuals,
nose,
mouth
and
chin
in
accordance
with
the
following
a
when
entering
exiting
or
waiting
in
line
to
enter
a
place
of
business
that
is
open
to
the
public
and
while
inside
a
place
of
business
as
to
the
areas
within
the
place
of
business
that
are
accessible
to
and
are
intended
for.
B
The
use
of
the
public
B
when
entering
exiting
or
waiting
in
line
to
enter
a
city
of
Athens
operated,
building
or
facility
that
is
open
to
the
public
and
while
inside
the
city
of
Athens,
operated,
building
or
facility.
As
to
the
areas
within
such
city
of
Athens
facility
that
are
accessible
and
are
intended
for
the
use
of
the
public
sea
in
any
public
transportation,
such
as
a
bus
or
other
public
transit
vehicle,
a
taxi
or
ride-sharing
vehicle,
any
other
vehicle
for
hire
or
at
a
transit,
stop
or
waiting
area
for
any
public
transportation.
B
However,
an
employer
may
require
such
documentation
frontof
from
an
employee
in
accordance
with
state
and
federal
law,
item
b,
children
under
10
years
old
item
c
restaurant
&
bar
patrons,
while
eating
or
drinking.
If
a
patron
is
not
seated
at
his
or
her
table
or
at
the
bar.
A
face
covering
is
required.
B
So
long
as
physical
separation
of
not
less
than
six
feet
is
maintained
or
while
walking
or
exercising
outdoors
with
other
members
of
the
same
household
G,
while
actually
engaged
in
exercising
in
a
gym
or
other
similar
indoor
facility.
So
long
as
physical
separation
of
not
less
than
six
feet
is
maintained
and
the
individual
wears
a
face
covering
at
all
times
when
not
actually
engaged
in
exercise
H.
B
When
individuals
are
alone
or
able
to
maintain
a
physical
separation
of
not
less
than
six
feet
in
their
work,
office,
conference,
room
or
other
work
space
not
intended
for
the
general
public
I
went
inside
a
personal
or
commercial
vehicle,
either
parked
or
moving.
That
is
not
a
vehicle
described
in
Section
one
C,
so
that
references
the
ride
sharing
via
coal's
and
city
transit
buses.
B
Those
are
vehicles
where
it
is
required
and
so
just
to
clarify
what
that
reference
was
J
individuals,
while
acting
in
their
official
capacity
as
a
public
safety,
employee
or
emergency
responder,
when
wearing
a
face
covering,
would
interfere
with
or
limit
their
ability
to
carry
out
their
official
duties
or
functions.
These
include
peace
officers,
firefighters
and
other
public
safety
or
emergency
medical
personnel
that
support
public
safety
operations.
B
Okay,
individuals
complying
with
the
directions
of
Public,
Safety
employees
or
emergency
responders,
as
described
in
section
2,
J
L,
an
individual
completing
a
task
who
would
be
out
of
compliance
with
industry,
safety
standards
like
NEC,
OSHA,
NFPA,
etc.
And
then
we
have
the
definitions
and
the
first
definition
is
face
covering
a
face
covering
means,
a
piece
of
tightly
woven
cloth,
fabric
or
other
material
that
fully
covers
the
mouth,
nose
and
chin,
and
that
is
secured
with
ear,
straps
or
otherwise
secured
so
as
to
prevent
slipping
a
face
covering
may
be
factory
made
or
may
be.
B
Handmade
and
improvised
from
household
materials
face
coverings
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
bandanas
scarfs
medical
mask
and
cloth
mask
and
also
include
respirators
in
95
masks
or
other
personal
protective
equipment
that
provides
a
higher
level
of
protection
than
a
face
covering
defined
in
this
section.
A
face
covering
shall
be
worn
so
as
to
cover
the
nose
mouth
and
chin
in
compliance
with
the
CDC's
guidance
on
wearing
face
coverings.
B
The
next
item
defined
is
place
of
business,
which
means
any
facility
building
or
structure
operated
by
or
or
a
business
engaged
in
the
sale
or
other
transaction
of
any
kind
for
anything
of
value
in
exchange
for
goods,
commodities,
services
or
temporary
lodging,
and
that
is
open
to
the
general
public
or
by
appointment
and
includes,
but
is
not
limited
to
grocery
stores.
Retail
stores.
B
Any
violation
of
this
section
shall
be
considered
an
administrative
offence
requiring
a
fine
of
$100
payable
to
the
city
of
Athens
through
the
Athens
City
Police
Department.
Any
person
cited
with
a
violation
of
this
ordinance
who
wishes
to
appeal
the
violation
shall
visit
the
Athens,
City
Police
Department,
and
requests
that
an
appeal
be
set
before
the
appeals
board
established
for
this
purpose
by
the
Athens
City
County
Health
Department.
The
decision
of
the
appeals
board
shall
be
final.
B
B
D
D
Someone
on
the
here
said
they
ought
to
be
ten
I
believe
he
said
ten
to
twenty
meters
apart
I've
seen
mentioned
that
people
should
be
20
to
25
feet
apart,
but
the
general
consensus
seems
to
be
that
people
definitely
need
to
be
further
apart
than
six
feet.
But
I
don't
know
if
you're
looking
at
other
public
health,
health
sources.
B
Just
to
address
that
this,
this
whole
pandemic
is
a
situation
where
we
are
learning
every
day.
We
are
learning
from
scientists
are
our
physicians,
our
public
health
directors,
management
and
workers,
and
what
has
been
recommended
consistently
is
six
feet,
distance
and
I.
Think,
though,
there
are
certainly
times
when
I
personally
feel
that
that
is
inadequate,
and
certainly
if
I
was
in
an
enclosed
room
with
the
and
I
would
not
be
comfortable
not
being
masked
within
six
feet
of
someone.
B
However,
we
it
it's
helpful
to
introduce
rules
that
people
are
already
familiar
with
unless
other
authorities,
such
as
the
CDC
or
the
Ohio
Department
of
Health,
are
putting
out
different
recommendations,
and
so
I
just
I
think
that's
for
me.
What
it
came
down
to
is
consistency
with
what
people
have
been
hearing
which,
and
is
you
know.
This
is
much
of
this,
like
I,
carefully
read
a
lot
of
the
state
orders
and
this
weather
for
distancing
or
mass
requirements,
as
well
as
CDC
guidelines
and
recommendations
and
and
I
I
agree.
B
I
feel
that
having
consistency
with
what
we
have
for
the
rules
in
the
city
and
what
would
be
in
place
outside
our
city
limits
to
the
best
extent
and
again,
consistency
with
what
people
have
been
hearing,
it
just
makes
it
a
little
less
daunting
and
intimidating
for
people
to
understand
what
the
rules
are.
What's
expected
of
them
does.
A
A
I
just
wanted
to
give
her
an
opportunity.
We
can
also
check
later
check
on
the
record
to
see
what
the
other
questions
are
and
whether
we've
been
answer
answered
them.
We
had,
we
did
have
several
other
people
that
raised
their
hand,
looks
like
Virginia.
If
you
could
give
us
your
full
name,
and
your
address
and
you'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak.
A
A
Okay,
as
we
said,
we'll
be
posting
the
draft
Thank
You
councilmember
grace
for
reading
through
that
we'll
post
a
draft
on
the
city
website,
so
that
people
can
be
looking
at
it,
and
we've
welcomed
everybody's
comments
on
the
discussion
tonight
and
everybody's
efforts
towards
helping
get
this
draft
document
ready.
We
really
appreciate
this
so
without
any
other
comments,
then,
thanks
for
your
time
and
we'll
see
you
at
7
p.m.
on
Monday
night,
then
for
the
reading
of
the
ordinance
and
hopefully.
