Athens CIty Council - November 1, 2021

Okay,
we
have
a
motion
in
second
for
approval
of
108.21.
Do
we
have
any
questions
or
comments
from
council
members
from
elected
officials,
administration
or
anybody
in
the
audience,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
B
B
As
in
the
title
in
section
one
and
then
in
section
two
we'd
like
to
add
the
following.
The
service
safety
director
is
further
authorized
to
expend
said
funds
for
separate
lease
agreements
entered
into
this
year
from
the
20
20
20,
20,
20,
22,
appropriation,
ordinance
and
then
finally,
section
three
would
be
added.
D
B
E
The
fact
that
the
service
safety
director
did
sign
the
master
equity
lease
agreement
that
didn't
really
obligate
the
city
to
anything
in
particular,
except
that
when
we
enter
into
individual
leases,
each
of
those
leases
will
be
subject
to
the
master
equity
agreement.
So
he
signed
it.
We're
saying
we're
affirming
his
signing.
A
C
B
B
A
F
A
Opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved,
ordinance.
111
21
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
mayor
to
enter
into
or
to
extend
the
agreement
with
the
board
of
athens
county
commissioners
for
the
purpose
of
obtaining
the
services
of
the
public
defender's
office
through
december
31st
2022
and
is
introduced
by
council
member
crowl.
A
G
B
A
If
none
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
I
oppose
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
Ordinance.
112
21
is
an
ordinance
providing
for
the
issuance
of
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
notes
by
the
city
of
athens,
ohio
in
anticipation
of
the
issuance
of
bonds
for
the
purpose
of
renewing
notes
previously
issued
for
the
purpose
of
paying
part
of
the
costs
of
acquiring
a
new
fire
truck
and
related
equipment
and
declaring
an
emergency
introduced
by
council
member
crowl.
Thank.
B
A
We'll
now
move
on
to
ordinances
for
second
reading,
and
I
will
read
the
title
we
do
have
a
few
of
these-
that
we
will
be
amending
tonight.
So
there'll
be
some
discussion
and
I
do
believe
that
we
have
a
few
people
from
our
audience
who
are
here
tonight
to
speak
to
the
various
ordinances,
and
we
will
allow
time
for
that
as
well.
A
E
B
A
I
If
you
elevate
the
price
of
the
parking
pass
for
the
motorcycle
you're,
discouraging
people
from
riding
motorcycles-
and
I
think,
with
the
parking
problem
that
athens
has
during
peak
times,
it
might
be
wise
to
encourage
people
to
be
riding
motorcycles
instead
of
driving
cars.
That
would
contribute
to
the
parking
problem.
I
The
other
consideration
that
you
should
think
about.
As
you
elevate
the
price
of
the
parking
permit
for
motorcycles
is
that
if
you
raise
the
price
so
much,
the
people
who
ride
motorcycles
will
just
make
the
decision
to
put
quarters
in
a
meter
for
the
three
months
of
the
year
that
they
ride
the
motorcycle
instead
of
buying
the
pass
for
the
entire
year.
I
I
So
I
would
even
go
to
an
extreme
and
say:
maybe
you
could
consider
eliminating
the
motorcycle
parking
fee
to
encourage
more
people
to
ride
motorcycles
and
have
athens
viewed
as
a
greener
town
and
a
motorcycle
friendly
town,
and
so
I
just
came
in
tonight
to
have
you
guys
consider
those
as
you're
casting
your
vote,
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
consider
voting
against
raising
the
parking
permit
fee.
Okay,.
A
F
A
And,
and
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
the
only
information
I
have
right
now
is
is
that
many
of
these
fees
were
reviewed
by
the
co-directors
office
and
other
departments
throughout
the
city,
trying
to
take
a
look
at
the
the
actual
administrative
costs
for
these,
and
they
felt
that
they
also
explained
that
some
of
the
fees
had
not
been
updated
for
a
long
time.
We
can
verify
the
particular
information
is
a
good
point.
We
can
verify
the
particular
information
for
the
motorcycle
fee
and
when
was
the
last
time
that
was
increased.
A
J
A
Ordinance
114
21
is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
title
11,
business
regulations,
chapter
11.04,
vending
peddling
and
soliciting
section
11.04.03
regulation
of
vendors,
peddlers
and
solicitors
penalties,
and
this
is
introduced
by
councilmember
reisner
and
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
amendments
tonight.
But.
A
And
that
I
was
keeping
track
informally
up
here
for
the
three
minutes
you
can
come
to
the
podium,
as
the
previous
speaker
did
list
your
name
and
address,
and
whether
or
not
you're
representing
a
particular
group.
I
do
set
the
timer
for
three
minutes
and
there's
a
little
light
indicator
on
the
podium
so
that,
when
your
time
starts
to
run
out
it'll,
let
you
know.
K
K
It's
clear,
the
community
in
this
part
of
athens
doesn't
have
any
issue
with
this
and
I
would
question
the
money
motivations
of
anyone
who
does
it's,
not
any
politicians
job
to
protect
other
businesses
from
competition,
and
there
is
no
reason
to
keep
food
trucks
from
vending
near
north
court
street
at
night
when
parking
is
free.
In
fact,
my
family
is
offering
to
willingly
put
nighttime
vending
spots
in
front
of
our
store.
This
would
actually
help
people,
but
the
change
you're
supporting,
isn't
good
for
anybody.
K
It's
not
good
for
small
business,
not
good
for
local
business,
not
good
for
athens
citizens,
not
good
for
working
class
americans.
We
have
more
abandoned
taxi
spots
than
usable
vendor
locations
and
ev
chargers,
so
rich
people
can
charge
their
teslas.
While
I
drag
a
generator
around
town
to
meet
health
requirements,
I'm
so
glad
barely
anybody
gets
to
have
stupid
parklets
a
couple
months
out
of
the
year.
K
These
are
all
just
token
changes
supposed
to
make
a
are
they
supposed
to
make
up
for
the
hardship
my
industry
endured
through
covet
city
council
changed
the
rules
on
uptown
parking,
so
the
richest
man
in
town
could
build
another
bar
in
his
parking
lot.
Why
cut
deals
for
the
rich
and
powerful,
but
not
local
business?
K
You
could
do
better,
but
instead
you're
criminalizing
me
and
my
employees,
because
we
dared
to
do
what
was
necessary
to
survive,
I'm
risking
everything
to
make
sure
my
employees
can
pay
their
bills
while
people
like
jeff
reisner,
don't
bother
asking
questions
and
already
made
up
their
mind.
You
could
have
asked
to
hear
our
side
of
the
story,
but
you
don't
care
about
us
or
the
fact
that
most
of
the
food
trucks
in
this
town
are
now
gone
permanently.
K
It's
clear,
we
have
every
reason
to
doubt
your
motivation
and
sincerity.
These
are
people's
lives
that
we're
talking
about
and
you
haven't
done
anything
for
them
and
now
you're
trying
to
hurt
them
more
you're.
Trying
to
hurt
me
and
trying
to
hurt
my
employees
all
is
not
yet
lost.
We
haven't
given
up.
I
recently
applied
for
a
variance,
but
if
the
mayor
appoints
people
like
jeffrey,
it's
looking
more
like
a
death
sentence
and.
L
K
K
J
Howdy,
my
name
is
alex
schwartz.
I
live
at
36th
central
and
I'm
just
here
representing
myself,
I'm
just
here
mostly
to
support
so
my
buddies
here,
and
you
know,
I
think
we
probably
all
know
more
people
who
have
had
food
truck
businesses
here
in
town
than
there
are
people
who
currently
run
food
truck
businesses
here
in
town.
J
I
think
in
general
you
know,
I'm
just
speaking
in
general
terms
that
we
could
take
a
look
at
the
uptown
vending
situation,
see
what
we
can
do
better
to
facilitate
businesses
up
there,
because
the
majority
of
the
days,
the
the
vending
spots
that
are
there
are
left
empty.
You
know,
and
I
think
that
that's
a
missed
opportunity.
You
know
for
local
workers,
for
local
business
owners
and
people
in
athens
in
general.
J
You
know-
and
that
goes
all
the
way
down
like
there's
a
lot
of
small
businesses
that
like
to
support
local
local
farms,
and
you
know
attempting
to
play
their
employees,
employees
living
wages
and
health,
insurance
and
whatnot,
and
just
in
general,
trying
to
do
better
so
that'd
be.
My
plea
is
that
we
take
a
look
at
uptown
vending
and
food
trucks
in
general
and
just
try
and
do
better.
J
A
A

This
is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
title
13,
general
offenses,
chapter
13.07,
miscellaneous
offenses,
section
13.07.07,
citation
introduced
by
councilmember
fall
if
no
questions
or
comments
we'll
move
on
to
117-21.
This
is
an
ordinance
of
mending
athens
city
code,
title
nut,
29,
housing
regulations,
chapter
29.12,
premises
and

A
A
No
questions
or
comments
we'll
move
on
to
ordinance
119-21.
This
is
an
ordinance
of
many
death
and
city
code,
title
1,
general
provisions,
chapter
1.03
code
fees,
established
sections,
5.04.08
sewer
rates
and
declaring
an
emergency.
This
is
introduced
by
all
members
of
council
and
have
no
questions
or
comments
on
this
one.
A
M
B
It
already
has
ten
thousand
dollars
in
this
ordinance
for
payroll
for
tc100,
but
this
would
add
for
tc
transaction
codes
200
to
300,
and
the
reason
for
this
are
that
the
arts,
parks
and
recreation
department
has
not
only
identified
the
need
for
additional
funding
for
their
lease
payments,
but
they
also
had
some
additional
expenses
this
summer
with
the
swimming
pool,
including
the
amount
of
chlorine
that
they
had
to
purchase
as
well
as
some
expenses
with
a
wreck
truck
and
then
this
enterprise
lease
vehicle.
So
that
is
the
reason
for
the
amendment.
A
A
N
A
Excuse
me
124
21,
and
that
is
an
ordinance
amending
the
2021
staffing
levels
authorized
by
ordinance
141-20.
This
is
introduced
by
council
member
crowl
and
if
no
comments
or
questions
on
that
ordinance,
we'll
now
move
on
to
ordinances
for
first
reading,
125
21
is
an
ordinance
amending
the
2021
appropriation
ordinance
and
is
introduced
by
council
member
crowl.
B
A
B
B
This
would
be
administered
by
the
human
resources
director
working
with
the
individual
department
heads
and
the
amounts
would
be
as
follows.
For
an
associate's
degree,
the
incentive
dollar
amount
would
be
250
dollars
per
year
that
works
out
to
approximately
nine
dollars
and
sixty
cents
per
pay
period
or
per
paycheck.
B
For
a
bachelor's
degree.
It
would
be
750
per
year,
which
is
about
28
and
85
cents
per
paycheck,
and
if
they
went
on
actually
to
get
a
master
master
or
doctorate
degree,
that
would
be
up
to
a
thousand
dollars
per
year
or
38.46
per
paycheck
for
the
professional
certifications.
If
they
got
one
of
those,
it
would
be
250
per
year
and
two
would
be
500
per
year.
B
A
G
E
G
Require
an
associate's
degree
for
people
in
my
office,
but
they
go
on
to
get
a
bachelor's
degree
which
would
make
them.
You
know
more
valuable
in
my
office.
They
would
get
it
for
that,
but
not
for
the
associate's
degree
that
I
require
and
same
with
all
the
licensure
fees
for
the
plants
and
stuff
like
that.
B
Well,
it
was
fast
pending
additional
information
from
the
city
administration,
and
I
would
also
like
to
read
into
the
record
the
results
of
a
of
a
survey
that
the
city
of
athens
did
just
to
make
sure
we
have
the
correct
data
on
record.
The
the
question
was
asked
of
city
employees.
How
well
does
city
of
athens
recognize
my
value
and
32
percent
of
employees
said.
I
feel
I
am
highly
valued.
B
A
L
B
We
all
had
asked
for
other
cities
that
had
tried
to
put
together
this
plan
and
we
did
get
a
list.
I
did
get
a
list
of
cities,
but
not
any
information
about
how
it
was
going
for
them.
So
the
city
administration
said
they'd
look
into
asking
those
cities
additional
questions,
so
we
had
more
information,
and
perhaps
the
auditor
can
speak
to
us.
G
D
G
What
we
already
have
in
place
there
was
a
lot
of
information
put
out
last
week,
but
is
an
evaluation
that
all
the
supervisors
would
use
and
that
they
would
be
trained
on
by
our
hr
director.
So
we
have
that
in
place,
but
that's
also
additional
information
on
on.
That
is
something
we'll
ask
for
from
clemens
nelson.
They,
our
representative,
there
was
just
said
he
was
too
busy
last
week
and
he
would
get
with
us
this
week,
because
the
hr
director
wanted
to
ask
him
about
some
other
information
regarding
our
staffing
and
our
compensation
plan.
G
A
L
B
Thank
you,

isaiah

and
declaring

introduced
by
councilmember

H
A
O
We
talked
about
this.
It's
a
fairly
straightforward,
right-of-way
license.
We
do
these
by
going
in
the
first
one
when
it's
established
goes
through
council
after
10
years.
It
is
administratively
renewed
unless
there's
some
type
of
problem
and
the
city
council
doesn't
like
it,
it
can
come
back
to
council.
Why
do
we
do
right
away?
Well
right
away?
O
Is
the
city
the
city
has
it's
important
to
have
right-of-ways,
because
this
is
where
we
do
things
like
put
parking
meters
or
streets
or
sidewalks,
and
sometimes
people
would
like
to
do
something
in
that
right,
away,
put
a
fence,
put
a
sign,
and
it's
just
good
for
us
to
be
able
to
know
what's
going
on
with
our
right-of-way,
because
in
the
future
we
may
have
to
use
that
right
away
to
expand
a
road,
and
then
we
know
what's
going
on
with
it
before
that
and
helps
us
make
better
decisions.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
O
Thank
you.
This
is
not
the
first
time
people
have
heard
of
this.
This
particular
ordinance
is
updating
our
off-street
parking
requirements.
These
are
the
requirements
people
have
when
they
build
a
business
or
rentals
or
any
of
those
other
things
of
off-street
parking.
We
have
worked
with
our
other
areas
of
parking.
We've
done
a
lot
with
uptown,
looking
at
using
the
parking
lot
more
efficiently.
It's
gotten
a
lot
better.
O
We've
looked
at
on-street
parking,
we
have
a
72-hour
permit
now,
so
that
helps
with
the
issues
of
walk
in
the
car,
and
this
is
the
last
leg
of
the
stool
that
makes
parking
in
athens.
I
want
to
read
the
warehouses.
I
won't
read
the
whole
like
18
pages,
but
it
says,
whereas
city
council
resolution
1021
requested
city
council,
that
the
city
planning
commission
consider
amending
the
off-street
parking
regulations
requirements.
O
That
was
the
first
time
these
ordinance.
This
ordinance
was
heard
when
it
was
a
resolution
that
was
read
at
council,
talked
about
in
a
committee
meeting
and
then
voted
on
by
council.
So
the
planning
commission
got
it.
The
planning
cash
says,
whereas
the
athens
city
planning
commission,
voted
five
to
zero,
to
recommend
amending
chapters
23.08
and
23.140,
with
modic
modifications
to
the
resolution.
O
O
O
That's
a
long
time
and
many
many
many
things
have
changed
in
athens
since
then.
So
basically,
what
this
does
is
update,
especially
table
b,
which
is
all
the
the
numbers
that
go
along
with
your
type
of
development.
Those
have
all
been
updated
to
best
management
practices
of
what
other
cities
and
planning
commissions
have
done.
O
It
also
puts
in
some
language
to
where
businesses
can
share
lots,
which
is
something
right
now
that
churches
can
do
on
sunday,
where
they
can.
They
have
a
joint
use
with
other
parking
lots
around
them
so
that
they
can
have
their
events
on
sunday.
So
it's
already
worked
well
in
that
case,
so
that
expands
it,
and
then
it
has
exceptions
which
I
think
is
the
the
meat
of
most
of
this,
because
we've
talked
a
lot
about
affordable
housing,
about
sustainability,
about
uptown,
becoming
more
viable
about
business
development
and
about
affordable
housing.
O
We
did
a
tif
for
once,
some
of
the
universal
housing
we've
annexed
property
so
that
we
can
have
development
area
for
other
types
of
moderate
or
low
income,
housing
such
as
out
on
by
arming
road.
So
those
are
all
ways
that
we
can
do
it.
Parking
is
another
way,
so
we
have
an
exceptions
which
is
23.08.6.
O
You
can
also
have
designated
downtown
redevelopment
districts,
which
is
something
that
we've
done
out
on
west
union
and
where
the
cider
house
is
great
program,
lots
of
money
with
that,
one
from
the
state,
special
improvement
districts,
operative
zones
or
innovation
zones,
and
then
owner
occupied,
duplex,
infill
or
rental
conversion.
Rental
must
have
had
a
valid
rental
permit
for
three
of
the
last
five
years.
So
what's
this
saying?
O
O
There's
also
exceptions
for
development
sites
in
r3,
b2,
b2d,
b3
and
m
zones
that
are
within
1500
feet
of
an
existing
public
transit
service
stop,
and
that
is
a
you
know.
Somebody
says
what
happens
if
our
bus
goes
away.
Well,
this
exception
would
go
away
if
downtown
redevelopment
zone
districts
went
away
as
a
city
pro
as
a
state
program.
That
exception
goes
away.
O
There's
b2d
uptown
business
zone
with
one
and
two
bedroom
housing
units,
something
that
has
been
shown
over
and
over
through
the
economic
development
commission
has
been
telling
us
this.
The
other,
the
planner
and
other
is
that
we
need
one
and
two
bedroom
housing
units
residential
tax,
increment
financing,
project
developments
with
at
least
50
universal
design,
housing
with
net
zero
or
lead
certification.
O
So
these
are
all
things
that
we
want
to
encourage
because
we
have
been
told
over
and
over
again
that
sustainability
is
important,
that
increasing
the
availability
of
different
types
of
housing
is
important,
making
the
best
use
of
our
land
that
we
have
so
that
you
know
so.
It's
not
very
much
flat
land
and
making
sure
that
it
can
be
used
in
ways
that
a
that
help
the
community
and
also
the
property
owner,
so
that
that's
basically
it
in
a
nutshell.
A
O
D
Thank
you,
president
nicely
member
fall.
I
have
a
mix
of
comments
and
questions
about
this
particular
ordinance.
Last
I
spoke
on
this.
I
said
I
needed
to
watch
the
last
planning
commission
meeting,
which
I
did
and
it
was
very
helpful,
walking
folks
through
the
changes
and
the
justification
for
those
changes
and,
first
off,
first
off,
I
wanted
to
express
appreciation
to
those
volunteer
members
of
the
planning
commission.
They
do
dedicate
a
lot
of
time
and
some
pretty
complex
issues
and
appreciate
their
time
and
effort.
D
Based
on
what
I
heard
and
what
I
read
before
us
tonight,
it
has
addressed
a
number
of
the
concerns
that
I've
heard
from
west
siders.
In
particular,
there
has
been
suggestion
that
we
revisit
the
process
that
we've
been
through,
for
this
particular
ordinance,
perhaps
asking
that
we
have
an
ad
hoc
committee
be
created,
but
I
feel
confident
in
the
process
that
we
have
gone
through.
D
D
And
a
number
of
other
comments
that
I
made
related
to
the
motive
behind
this
particular
ordinance
comes
from
a
lot
of
plans
that
have
been
put
forth
already
that
member
fall
mentioned.
We
want
to
be
a
pedestrian
friendly
city
and
want
to
encourage
alternatives
to
vehicles,
which
I
think
a
number
of
us
would
support
for
a
number
of
reasons.
D
I
think
we
need
to
be
more
proactive
about
the
condition
of
our
sidewalks
so
that
we
can
create
ordinances
like
this,
that
make
it
more
more
of
a
pedestrian
friendly
environment
and
also
create
an
actually
an
actual
more
pedestrian
environment,
where
we
have
a
safe
passage
on
the
sidewalks.
So
I
would
ask
that
yeah,
so
I
would
simply
ask
that
we
that
maybe
administration
come
forward
with
some
plans
on
how
we
can
better
enforce
our
current
laws
that
improve
sidewalks.
D
D
If
we
can
get
some
more
information
on
where
that's
coming
from
I'd
like
to
know
that,
and
also
it
was
suggested
that
relieving
the
burdensome
parking
requirements
would
also
decrease
rents
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
evidence
somewhere.
I
know
that
was
suggested.
I
would
like
to
just
see
that
somewhere.
D
D
O
It's
not
going
to
occur
very
much
on
the
smaller
developments
around
here
because
they
have
you
know
they
find
the
right
level
of
parking,
and
most
of
them
are
going
to
feel
that
they're.
Okay
with
that
level,
this
is
definitely
for
much
larger
spot.
Those
are
companies
that
specialize
in
management
and
these
sort
of
things.
This
is
not
an
unusual
requirement
to
go
in
order
to
convert
the
the
property
and
from
parking
into
something
else.
Does
that
help?
O
I
think
so
so,
like
lowe's,
you
know,
lowe's
has
okay,
but
walmart
has
a
huge
parking
lot
and
what
do
they
use
it
for?
Well,
it's
used
for
semi
parking
and
things
and
it's
in
rotten
shape,
and
they
may
find
that
it's
beneficial
to
to
do
something
with
it,
and
then
they
would
have
to
fulfill
these
requirements.
D
O
F
I
have
a
few
questions
and
I
think
the
first
one
is
probably
the
simplest.
I
am
curious
about
the
the
parking
spot
sizes
because
I
find
it
difficult
to
visually
understand
what
I've
heard
previously,
which
is
that
our
parking
spots
in
athens
are
larger
than
they
need
to
be
and
that
that
vehicles
are
not
getting
bigger.
So
we
can
have
smaller
and
it's
just
not
my
perception
of
vehicles
getting
smaller
and
I
don't
have
the
kind
of
visual
memory
that
can
compare
sizes
of
parking
spots.
O
For
you
know,
for
commercial
development
and
like
r3s,
you
need
to
have
a
certain
amount
of
green
space
still
even
after
your
parking,
so
that
helps
balance
it
on
east
state
street.
We
had
fat
lanes
and
when
we
did
east
state
street,
we
narrowed
the
lanes
because
that's
what
people
find
works,
the
best
to
do
all
the
to
fulfill
all
the
objectives
of
safety
and
accessibility.
O
You
know
speed
limit
and
those
sort
of
things.
It's
kind
of
the
sign.
The
same
idea
is
that
things
are
smaller
and
cars
are
actually
getting
smaller,
and
so
you
don't
need
as
much
cement.
That's
basically
it
now
it's
an
upper
level,
it's
how
they
do
it
is.
How
did
they
do
it?
It
has
to
be
a
base
of
150
square
feet,
but
if
you
needed
something
really
big
that
that
would
be
required,
you
could
do
it
if
you
needed
something
bigger,
but
it
has
to.
F
F
Thank
you
I'll.
I
would
appreciate
that,
and
my
second
is
about
appreciating
the
process
that
this
has
gone
through
back
and
forth
between
planning,
commission
and
council.
I
appreciate
that
that
provided
lots
of
opportunities
for
input,
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
what
some
of
the
primary
concerns
have
been,
some
of
which
may
have
been
addressed
through
changes,
but
even
the
basic
question
of
who
might
be
most
inconvenienced
to
buy
these
changes,
especially
with
regard
to
parking
parking,
yeah.
O
I
think
I
don't
know,
I
guess
there
was
concern
with
the
distance
of
certain
of
around
that
exceptions.
I
think
that
people
were
concerned
about
the
exceptions
were
being
was
too
great,
of
a
distance
like
from
the
transit
stop
and
those
sort
of
things,
so
those
were
were
reduced
and
some
of
the
other
exceptions
were
changed.
O
I
just
from
a
from
my
point
of
view.
I've
had,
I
lived,
you
know
in
the
near
neighborhood
area
and
there's
been
less
on
street
parking
over
the
years
and
whether
that's
because
people
are
living
closer
in
they've,
don't
drive
as
much
there's
less
people
at
school,
those
sort
of
things,
so
we
may
find
that
it's
not
really
as
much
of
an
issue.
Okay,
thanks
does
that
make.
F
F
I
was
hoping
to
get
some
clarification
on
how
council
approaches
the
decision
to
establish
work
groups
versus
task
force,
tax
courses
versus
ad
hoc
groups
and
I've
been
made
aware
of
the
concern
that
these
can
sometimes
be
used
just
to
hold
up
processes
or
send
something
to
committee
to
die.
So
I
am
looking
for
commentary
on.
F
O
C
A
C
If
I
could
jump
in,
I
would
say
that
a
difference
that
I've
noticed
is
the
there
was
a
task
force
or
an
ad
hoc.
I
don't
remember
what
it
was
called,
but
a
group
created
to
look
at
on-street
vending
a
few
years
ago.
There
was
the
affordable
housing
task
force.
They
were
groups
set
up
to
specifically
look
at
an
issue
that
the
city
did
not
already
have
a
process
for
really
thoroughly
reviewing,
and
in
this
case
we
have
a
a
process.
This
is
something
that
has
been
talked
about
with
in
multiple
venues
it.
C
It
is
part
of
the
comprehensive
plan,
and
then
the
planning
commission
has
very
carefully
and
thoroughly
reviewed
it
and
had
opportunity
for
public
input,
and
so
I
would
say
that's
a
difference
that
I've
noticed
like
we
didn't,
have
a
venue
through
which
to
to
really
analyze
and
discuss
and
get
participation
on,
affordable
housing
or
on
on
food
truck
vending,
whereas
we
do
on
this,
this
particular
process.
So.
F
Thank
you,
that's
helpful,
just
to
clarify.
So
that
means
because
we
already
have
a
planning
commission
that
can
work
through
this
sort
of
thing.
That
means
it
would
be
if
we
had
anything
more
appropriate
for
there
to
be
a
task
force
rather
than
ad
hoc.
Am
I
understanding
the
distinction
correctly
or
is
there
a
distinction.
B
If
we
reduce
the
parking
for
the
housing
that
students
live
in,
then
those
cars
have
to
go
somewhere
and
the
fear
is
that
they
will
go
in
front
of
my
house
and
that
I
won't
have
space
to
park.
My
car-
and
this
was
a
problem
in
the
in
the
city
of
athens
a
few
decades
ago
before
we
instituted
the
24-hour
parking
rule.
But
can
you
just
address
that
argument.
O
O
Nobody
is
is
like
guaranteed
a
spot
right
in
front
of
your
house.
You
know
sort
of
thing.
My
street
every
spot
is
in
front
of
my
house
and
the
house
across
the
street
because
they
can't
park
on
their
side.
So
there
you
already
have
you
know
if
you're
gay
fight
about
spots-
and
I
think
that
when
you
look
at
this,
hopefully
you
know
people
would
be
able
to
update
it
more
regularly
than.
However
many
years
from
2004
these
plans
and
like
our
comprehensive
plan,
is
written
to
look
20
years.
O
What
do
we
want
to
look
like
in
20
years?
And
that
was
the
same
thing
as
like
the
east
state
street
project-
was
that
people
were
concerned
that
we
put
bicycle
bicycle
gutters
is
what
people
call
them
and
wider
sidewalks
and
they
were
worried
about
that,
and
I
think
that
it's
shown
that
it
works.
It
hasn't
stopped
east
state
street,
from
functioning
and
in
15
years
it's
going
to
look
even
better,
because
a
lot
more
people
are
going
to
be
riding
bikes
and
stuff.
That's
already
happening
with
all
the
e-bikes
and
everything.
A
C
I
think
the
the
fact
that
unless
someone
gets
a
72
hour
parking
permit,
there
is
still
a
24
hour
parking
restriction
in
place,
and
so
that
really
prevents
that
storage
parking
solution
of
someone
who
lives
very
close
to
campus
is
not
going
to
want
to
have
to
walk
half
a
cross
halfway
across
town
in
order
to
move
their
car
every
24
hours.
So
I
think
that
that
that
that
issue
is
really
addressed
through
through
the
24
and
72
hour,
parking
restrictions.
A
C
C
O
A
C
A
E
A
O
A
B
We
had
an
excellent
presentation
on
this
recommended
addition
to
the
athens
sustainability
plan
at
committee
meeting
last
week,
and
I
just
we
have
the
full
plan,
not
quite
as
long
as
remember
grace's
sections,
but
a
good
12
pages,
just
over
12
pages,
and
I
just
want
to
outline
the
the
major
portions
of
this
plan
priority.
One
in
the
new
section
is
to
assess,
as
with
any
good
sustainability
assessment,
we
need
to
know
what
we
have
so
priority.
A
N
Hi,
thank
you.
My
name
is
amy.
Delaca
live
on
morris
avenue
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
athens
environment
and
sustainability,
commission
and
the
lead
author
of
the
biodiversity
action
plan.
I
just
want
to
really
express
my
gratitude
to
council
for
taking
this
up,
and
I
want
to
invite
any
audience
members
who
have
more
questions
about
the
plan
or
about
the
work
of
our
commission
to
attend
our
meeting.
N
A
B
Thank
you
in
connection
to
some
other
business
that
we've
discussed
at
council.
Previously,
we
had
a
d3
liquor
permit
that
was
presented
to
us
by
the
department
of
liquor,
control
for
a
local
establishment
called
boozy
bubbles
and,
as
I
expressed
at
committee
meeting
I
I
was
curious
about
this
liquor
permit
proposal
because
of
the
nature
of
the
establishment.
It
is
a
an
establishment
that
that
sells
a
tea
drink
with
bubbles
with
tapioca
bubbles.
I
wasn't
sure
if
the
tapioca.
B
Counted
as
a
food
item
which
is
necessary
to
have
this,
I
wasn't
sure
what
else,
although
member
ziff
helped
us
out
with
what
else
was
for
sale
at
this
establishment.
This
establishment
shares
a
space
on
court
street
with
another
business
that
does
sell
food,
and
I
just
had
a
lot
of
questions
about
what
our
role
was
in
in
receiving
this
permit,
and
so
I
had
some
conversations
with
the
law
director
and
we
contacted
each
of
us.
B
The
division
of
liquor
control
because
I
wanted
more
information
and
the
information
that
I
got
from
the
division
of
liquor.
Control
indicated
that
there
would
be
two
inspections
of
the
business,
an
initial
inspection
which
they
believed
had
already
happened,
and
then
a
final
inspection.
Once
these,
the
business
had
submitted
all
the
additional
paperwork
and
that
they
had
notified
the
division
of
liquor,
control
that
they
had
satisfied
all
the
requirements
and
they
were
ready
for
that
final
inspection
in
terms
of
what
they
are
allowed
to
do
in
terms
of
food.
B
B
So
I
just
want
to
let
council
know
that
I
had
talked
about
at
the
committee
meeting
that
I
might
request
a
review
member
reisner
member
fall,
who
were
on
council
the
last
time.
This
happened
provided
some
valuable
information
for
me
now
that
I
know
that
the
division
of
liquor
control
has
a
process
that
they
will
evaluate
this
business
to
make
sure
it
falls
under
the
appropriate
business
to
to
be
able
to
have
this
item.
B
L
President,
actually
I,
on
the
same
note,
member
krill,
I
actually
had
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
an
employee
of
that
business.
While
I
was
at
work
the
other
day-
and
I
was
like-
oh
you
work
here,
can
you
tell
me
anything
about
what's
going
to
be
happening
with
this,
and
maybe
we
should
reach
out
to
the
actual
business
owner
at
some
point?
Get
information
directly
from
them.
L
But
what
I
heard
from
the
employee
at
least,
was
that
their
intention
was
to
sell
liquor
at
a
the
columbus
branch
and
then,
if
they
were
to
actually
attempt
to
sell
alcohol
at
the
court
street
location,
they
would
actually
move
to.
A
separate
location
on
court
is
what
I
was
told
by
the
employee,
which
seems
a
little
odd.
