Athens City Council - November 8, 2021
A
Once
we
move
into
that
vote
to
go
into
executive
session,
everyone
will
be
asked
to
leave
the
room
and
as
soon
as
we're
finished
with
that,
we'll
welcome
you
back
into
the
room.
We
will
then
convene
our
committees
that
are
meeting
tonight.
We
have
all
five
committees
meeting
along
with
a
special
presentation
from
the
economic
development
council.
A
A
Our
first
item
of
business
is
establishing
a
quorum
and
all
members
of
council
are
present
we'll
now
move
into
ordinances
for
third
reading.
10321
is
an
ordinance
amending

10321

Opposed

the

Ordinance.
114

is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
title
11,
business
regulations,
chapter
11.04,
vending
peddling
and
soliciting
section

I
feel
all
frustrated
and
a
little
worn
down.
But
beyond
that,
I'm
still
hopeful.
You
know,
I
think
everyone
here
is
mostly
coming
at
it
from
perspective
of
trying
to
do
what
they
think
is
best.
You
know
so,
I
think,
there's
good
faith
there,
but
I'd
ask
just
take
special
considerations
to
it
and
if
you
could
put
it
off
and
spend
some
time
thinking
or
talking
about
what
we
can
do,
instead
of
just
increasing
the
fines.
G
Some
james
wonky
55
north
court
hotshot's
food
truck,
have
a
prepared
statement.
So
after
last
week,
I've
had
some
time
to
reflect
on
how
I
want
to
be
perceived,
and
I
really
just
want
you
to
understand
my
motivations
and
what
we've
been
going
through
as
a
new
business
during
covid
and
to
hopefully
restart
the
conversation
on
vending.
G
How
else
are
they
supposed
to
even
afford
a
house?
Not
everyone
can
buy
a
million
dollar
building
or
is
willing
to
lease
a
property
for
thousands
of
dollars
from
a
landlord
who
might
attempt
to
seize
their
assets
if
they
fall
behind.
This
isn't
fantasy
and
has
happened
to
multiple
local
business
owners
on
court
street,
who
I
know
frankly,
corporations
rule
the
world.
G
I
highlight
this
by
again
asking
who
even
benefits
from
this
rule
change.
Where
are
the
people
I
harmed
by
setting
up
outside
my
family
business
with
my
neighbors
and
landlords
permission?
The
only
thing
I've
done
is
attempt
to
save
my
employees,
jobs
and
the
only
complaint
I
got
was
from
another
vendor
who
didn't
understand
the
circumstances,
something
I
can't
be
mad
about
because,
like
me,
he's
probably
on
the
verge
of
financial
ruin
as
a
result
of
these
ridiculous
rules.
G
Finally,
where
are
the
people
who
support
this
change?
I
haven't
seen
anybody
speak
in
favor
and
I
kind
of
think
they're
nowhere
to
be
found.
I'm
not
asking
for
the
world
from
you,
I'm
just
identifying
a
problem,
I'm
open
to
conversation
and
working
hard
to
find
fair
solutions
where
other
vendors
can
potentially
set
up
at
night
outside
of
our
business
on
court
street,
and
I
would
like
to
formally
request
a
sponsorship
from
one
of
you
to
help
me
make
this
change
happen.
Positive
change.
G
Finally,
I
want
to
let
you
know:
I
have
not
avoided
accountability
for
my
actions,
because
I've
been
going
to
court
every
week
with
judge
grace
where
I'm
attempting
to
prove
legally.
At
least
some
of
these
rules
are
over
restrictive
and
unconstitutional,
and
if
I
lose
frankly,
I
don't
know
what
difference
it
makes
to
lock
me
up
or
increase
fines.
So
please
support
local
business
and
vote
no
to
this
change.
H
You
I
was
thinking
it
might
be
helpful
for
all
interested
persons
to
understand
where
council
makes
decisions
regarding
the
kind
of
overall
analysis
of
food
trucks.
Sort
of
bending
sort
of
pieces
is
that,
typically,
if
we
were
to
take
the
suggestion
to
have
a
larger
conversation
about
food
truck
vending
and
athens,
can
we
clarify
where
that
happens?.
A
Before
there
was
conversation
between
the
administration
and
several
council
members
who
led
that,
and
I
believe,
council
member
mcgee
began
some
of
the
conversations
and
then
it
was
completed.
The
last
set
was
completed
by
councilmember
crowl,
and
so
I
would
say
that
once
again
that
that
you
know
I
would
think
I
would
open
the
discussion
or
the
possibility
for
discussion
that
that
same
in
the
same
way
and
that
did
involve
vendors,
yes,
councilmember
crowl.
Thank
you.
I
So
what
what
happened?
Member
mccary
is
that
we
did
have
some
issues
and
we
wanted
to
to
hear
from
the
vendors,
and
so
we
convened
an
ad
hoc
vending
committee,
which
included
all
vendors
who
wanted
to
participate.
There
were
only
two
that
actively
participated,
and
it
also
included
a
bricks
and
mortar
restaurant
owner
to
have
that
perspective.
I
I
It
was,
I
believe,
a
constructive
committee,
but
for
numerous
reasons,
including
the
sort
of
diversity
of
voices
that
were
not
there,
it
it
it.
It
didn't
lead
to
a
lot
of
changes
and
there
was
a
sticking
point
with
what
the
city
recommended
was
the
best
sort
of
situation
for
the
city
and
what
comparable
communities
throughout
southeast
ohio
offer
to
vendors
and
with
what?
I
I
So
I
think
it's
a
different
conversation,
but
I
would
be
happy
to
work
with
any
members
of
council
to
open
up
a
dialogue
once
again
with
vendors.
You
know
with
no
guarantees.
I
think
the
city
administration
has
done
what
they
can
to
open
up
additional
spots
throughout
the
city.
So
it's
not
now
just
restricted
to
east
union
street.
I'm
not
sure
that
any
vendors
take
advantage
of
those,
and
maybe
we
can
have
a
discussion
with
vendors
to
find
out
what
the
problems
are.
I
And
we
don't
you
know
we
want
to
keep
a
balance
between
our
support
of
both
vendors
and
and
brick
and
mortar
restaurants.
So
I
do
think
if,
if
a
ad
hoc
committee
gets
convened
again
that
that
brick
and
mortar
restaurant
perspective
is
very
important
and
very
helpful,
and
I
don't
pretend
to
to
know
the
ins
and
outs
of
either
vendors
or
brick-and-mortar.
So
I
was
there
really
to
try
to
facilitate
conversation
and
to
listen.
I
A
J
C
There's
we
talk
about
vending,
but
there
is
also
vending
and
peddling,
I'm
not
sure
if
people
really
understand
the
difference
between
those
type
of
of
different
levels
that
we
have
in
this
particular
ordinance.
You
know
so
maybe
andy
probably
could
put
it
in
the
least
amount
of
words
for
the
biggest
amount
of
impact.
K
Yeah
permit
is
just
the
opportunity
to
sell
out
of
a
mobile
type
setup
and
from
anywhere
any
any
private
property
in
the
city.
Vending
in
this
particular
instance
is
talking
about
selling
use
of
public
property
to
sell
from,
and
that's
what's
regulated
more
strictly
in.
The
city
of
athens
is
the
use
of
public
property,
and
I
think
that's
what
council.
K
C
I
Crowl
yeah,
if
I
can
just
follow
up
on
director
stone's
comment,
that
specific
recommendation
came
from
the
vendors
that
they
that
they
thought
that
that
was
in
their
best
interest
to
have
a
monthly
rather
than
an
annual
fee,
because
there
are
for
certain
months
of
the
year
where
they
are
not
able
to
vend
or
they
can't
vent
for
one
reason
or
another
so
being
able
to
pay,
it
monthly,
obviously
helped
them.
So
that
was
something
we
could
implement,
that
we
talked
to
the
city,
administration
and
council
approved
and
the
vendors.
I
I
I
feel
like
we're
still
in
a
very
strange
world
coming
out
of
covid,
and
I
don't
know
if
how
much
that's
impact
the
vendors,
so
even
the
conversation
would
help
me
learn
more.
I
feel
like
that.
We
might
get
back
to
something
like
a
normal
athens
with
regular
vendors
in
the
future.
That's
just
my
two
cents.
Okay,.
H
A
C
A
C
D
A
C
B
C
D
A
119
21
is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
title
1,
general
provisions,
chapter
1.03
code
fees,
established
section,
5.0,
4.08
sewer
rates
and
declaring
an
emergency,
and
this
is
introduced
by
all
members
of
council
and
just
described
well
I'll.
Let
for
a
motion
and
second,
first
of
all
do
we
have
motion.
A
A
C
Is
something
that
we
have
done
better
lately
about
following
up
on
and
making
sure
that
we
don't
spend
years
between
having
fees
increase
we've
done
that
before?
But
I
think
that
now
and
we
also
put
something
into
most
of
the
ordinances
for
a
review
time,
for
these
sort
of
things
too.
So,
okay,
thank
you.
D
L
I
Thank
you,
member
grace.
After
you
know,
collective
bargaining
with
the
union,
the
city
administration
agreed
on
the
new
contract,
as
did
the
union,
and
this
is
simply
authorizing
the
mayor
to
officially
approve
this
agreement
with
the
with
this,
with
this
union,
we'll
be
doing
this
two
different
unions.
Thank
you,
president.
Okay,.
A
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second
for
approval,
any
comments
or
questions
from
council
members,
elected
officials,
administration
or
our
audience.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
We
now
have
ordinance
122-21.
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
mayor
to
execute
an
agreement
with
the
american
federation
of
state
county
and
municipal
employees,
afscme
local
24032,
concerning
wages
and
working
conditions,
and
this
is
introduced
by
the
finance
and
personnel
committee.
I
A
C
I
I
I
had
a
small
issue
recently
and
I
was
delivering
a
item
to
the
epw
garage
and
got
to
meet
our
assistant
director
and
quite
a
pleasant
gentleman,
and
this
is
a
situation
that
he
was
hired
under
and
I
I
feel
that
we
definitely
need
to
meet
the
original
hiring
agreement.
So
did
I
say
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
this.
A
B
A
B
I
Thank
you,
member
eisner.
This
is
discussed
at
committee
and
readings
the
issue
of
during
our
difficult
2020
year,
moving
around
the
percentages
within
arts
parks
and
recreation
for
the
program
specialist
in
arts,
and
we
are
simply
removing
moving
this
back
into
the
original
distribution,
the
fte
for
this
full
position
to
come
out
of
270.940.
A
A
L
I
Thank
you.
The
reason
being
is
that
this
actually
would
be
the
fourth
reading
of
this
ordinance,
but
because
we
amended
at
the
third
reading
to
add
some
simple
legal
language
and
an
emergency
clause
in
order
to
pass
this
more
quickly.
This
is
now
it
was
returned,
obviously
to
first
reading
and
now
this
is
the
second
reading,
but
I'd
like
to
suspend
the
rules
and
pass
this
tonight.
Thank
you,
president.
Okay,
thank
you.
B
E
A
Okay,
all
right.
If
no
questions
from
council
elected
officials,
administration
or
audience
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved
and
there
will
be
a
series
of
ordinances.
Now,
where
I
will
read
the
titles,
113
21
is
an
ordinance
amending
certain
sections
of
athens
city
code,
title
vii
traffic
code,
chapter
7.04,
chapter
7.05,
parking
regulations
introduced
by
councilmember,
reisner,
councilmember
eisner.
Yes,.
A
D
A
M
Thank
you
president.
I
just
wanted
to.
I
want
to
thank
our
amazing
clerk
of
council
for
getting
us
the
history
on
on
the
the
pricing
for
motorcycle
parking
permits
and
then
just
just
because
I
know
people
are
raising
concerns
about
the
price
and
the
cost
of
it,
but
just
using
a
fairly
simple
inflation
calculator
that
you
can
use
on
the
old
internet
out
there,
it's
essentially
almost
the
same
price
that
it
was
based
on
inflation
when
it
was
first
created.
A
N
A
A
A
O
I
A
A
Okay,
have
no
questions
or
comments
we'll
now
move
on
to
one
31-21.
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
safety
director
to
enter
into
an
lpa
state
project
agreement
with
the
ohio
department
of
transportation
for
new
pavement
and
guard
rail
replacement
on
stimson
avenue
and
declaring
an
emergency
introduced
by
council
member
eisner.
A
A
A
H
A
A
This
is
chaired
by
council
member
fall
and
joined
by
council
members,
reisner,
grace
and
smedley.
So
we'll
take
just
a
moment,
and
this
might
be
new
to
some
of
you.
But
what
we
have
remaining
on
the
diocese
are
the
members
who
are
on
the
planning
committee.
They
stay
up
there.
The
other
council
members
go
down
here.
It's
the
council
members
up
here
on
the
dyas
who
will
discuss
things
first
then
open
it
up
to
other
questions
from
all
the
other
council
members
and
then
open
it
up
to
the
public
to
make
comments.
C
C
What
the
economic
development
council
is
is
one
of
our
ways
that
we
help
the
city
and
the
county
to
do
economic
development.
We
fund
this
the
development
council,
along
with
the
county
and
the
university,
so
it's
a
all
hands
on
deck
process
and
they
do
a
multitude
of
different
types
of
planning
and
development
planning.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
coming.
O
Thank
you
good
evening,
everybody
and
thank
you,
council,
member
paul
for
inviting
me
to
speak
tonight.
I
give
this
presentation
every
year
ahead
of
the
annual
membership
renewal
for
the
county.
Excuse
me
the
city
to
the
economic
development
council,
so,
like
council
member
paul,
said
the
city,
the
county
and
the
university
all
pay
into
the
edc,
in
addition
to
the
port
authority
in
ohio
health
and
I'm
going
to
try
and
go
quickly.
I
know
you
guys
have
a
really
packed
agenda
today.
O
So
the
point
of
this
every
year
is
just
to
give
you
all
an
overview
of
the
activities.
Economic
development
council
has
been
engaged
in
throughout
the
year,
so
this
year
we've
continued
to
do.
You
know,
grow
and
help
our
existing
businesses
grow
and
expand.
We've
supported
entrepreneurship,
site
development
efforts
and
industry
diversification
efforts,
so
we
don't
remain
so
reliant
on
government
jobs.
O
You
know
we've
taken
up
the
remote
work
strategy
this
year,
I'm
examining
what
works
for
athens
county
and
the
city
of
athens,
in
addition
to
continuing
to
advocate
for
infrastructure
improvements
and
I'll
get
I'll
get
into
all
of
these
in
more
detail
throughout
the
presentation.
But
this
slide
just
provides
you
an
overview.
O
O
This
year
we
actually
got
some
money
from
communities
for
techno
technical
assistance
and
planning
site
development
and
then
of
course,
code.
The
19
related
losses.
We've
tried
to
connect
our
businesses
with
as
much
state
and
federal
funding,
stimulus,
money
as
possible,
and
so
in
total,
it's
just
under
3
million
that
the
ed
helped
secure
in
investments
this
year.
O
I
do
one
of
these
each
year
that
I
give
this
presentation
a
business
retention
expansion
spotlight
this
year,
it's
rocky
brands.
They
were
awarded
125,
000
job
jobs,
ohio,
revitalization
grant
for
their
expanded
warehouse,
which
is
actually
in
hawking
county.
So
it
was
a
joint
project
with
hawking
county
athens
county
since
rocky
brands
headquarters
is
in
nelsonville
in
athens,
county
and
we'll,
of
course,
feel
the
indirect
induced
economic
benefits
of
that
expansion
from
hawking
county
in
athens
county.
So
that
was
60
60
new
full-time
jobs,
280
retained
full-time
jobs.
O
They
made
a
minimum
of
an
investment
of
1
million
and
project
an
annual
payroll
of
just
under
2
million,
so
we
expect
the
the
direct
sales.
This
is
an
estimate
using
our
jobs,
eq
economic
and
workforce
data,
software
direct
sales,
output
of
7
million
and
a
compensation
impact
of
just
over
3
million.
O
This
doesn't
necessarily
pertain
to
the
city,
but
I
like
to
include
it
so
that
folks
know
you
know.
The
economic
development
council
serves
the
county
and
there
are
a
lot
of
areas
of
opportunity
throughout
the
county.
Not
just
the
city
that
have
a
lot
of
economic
development
potential.
Chancy,
gloucester
and
albany
are
three
that
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
with
leadership
in
those
communities
this
year.
You
know
the
bailey's
trail
development
around
the
bailey's
trail
and
chansey
gloucester.
O
You
know
they're
really
great
efforts
to
revitalize
the
the
downtown
area
and
gloucester
some
of
those
historic
buildings
and
then
albany.
Of
course,
that's
the
last
of
our
flatlands
and
we
have
leadership
out
at
the
village
of
albany.
That's
very
motivated
to
get
some
development
out
there
opportunity
zones.
This
does
pertain
to
the
city
because
we
have
an
opportunity
zone
that
runs
along
stimson
avenue.
O
Just
a
reminder:
this
is
a
tax
credit.
It's
either
a
deferral
or
complete
expulsion
of
or
complete
forgiveness
on
capital
gains
tax
if
and
invested
into
a
opportunity,
a
qualified
opportunity
zone.
The
opportunities
owns
our
federal
program,
it's
based
on
census
tracts,
and
we
have
three
throughout
the
county
the
issue
with
opportunity
zones
to
date.
You
know
they
were.
O
The
purpose
of
them
is
to
incentivize
private
investment
in
low-income,
rural
and
urban
communities.
We
haven't
really
seen
them
take
off
in
rural
communities.
I
think,
as
the
program
was
intended
to
as
much
as
the
program
was
intended
to,
and
that,
in
my
opinion,
is
due
to
a
lack
of
technical
assistance,
aka
handholding,
to
get
them
propped
up
in
southeast
ohio
in
our
region,
so
luckily
buckeye
hill,
our
local
development,
organ
or
our
local
development
district
excuse
me-
has
hired
a
consultant
to
help
with
technical
assistance
for
their
eight
counties.
O
Athens
is
one
of
those
so
moving
into
2022.
I
have
a
slide
on
this
kind
of
looking
ahead,
but
we're
going
to
get
that
opportunity.
Zone
phone
propped
up
for
simpson
avenue,
it'll
happen
so
I'll.
Leave
that
there
oh
and
also
we
also
had
a
line
item
in
orca's
power,
grant
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
for
opportunities
and
assistance.
O
That
business
was
acquired
by
a
business
out
of
washington
state
earlier
this
year,
so
their
plans
have
shifted,
they're,
keeping
their
existing
workforce
and
operations
at
their
current
location,
but
will
not
be
expanding
into
the
new
building.
So
the
port
has
scaled
down
that
project.
It
will
now
be
a
60,
000
square
foot,
building
truly
speculative,
no
end
user
secured
yet,
and
we
continue
to
build
out
our
funding
sources
for
that.
We
just
kate-
and
I
just
applied
for
a
eda
grant
last
week
for
the
construction
of
the
building.
G
D
O
I
want
to
build
the
first
one
too,
so
we
a
key
finding,
obviously,
was
that
a
lot
of
the
programs
that
started
driving
the
whole
remote
work
strategy
phenomenon
that
came
of
proven
19
focus
on
attraction,
efforts
from
high-profile
or
for
coastal
cities.
You
know
highway
journeys
from
coastal
cities.
That's
not
going
to
be
the
best
strategy
for
us,
as
jason
and
brent
explain
to
you
all.
You
know
we
need
to
focus
on
a
strategy
that
yields
returns
on
investment,
that
about
address
our
priority
areas
as
a
city
and
as
a
county.
O
So
I
bolded
the
enhancing
upwards
socio-economic
mobility
opportunities
for
existing
residents.
You
know,
rather
than
attracting
some
high
age
earners
to
come,
live
and
work
in
athens.
We
know
we
have
a
lot
of
folks
here
who
might
be
underemployed,
who
would
really
benefit
from
some
remote
work
opportunities
here
in
athens
county?
So
how
can
we
lift
them
up?
The
other
one
I
wish
I
would
have
folded
is
the
top
one
increasing
athens
incomes
and
local
spending
to
be
recirculated
locally.
O
and
then
I
just
pulled
this
chart
because
I
have
to
reiterate
it.
I
love
this
chart.
It's
showing
that
really
for
a
remote
work
strategy.
The
earners
that
are
making
between
50
and
100
000
generate
50
of
the
estimated
impact
so
they're,
the
ones
that
are
creating
induced
jobs,
employment
induced
labor,
income
and
outputs.
O
So
you
know-
and
that
I
have
to
note-
is
still
well
above
our
household
median
income
right,
so
we
still
have
some
work
to
do,
but
that's
where
our
energy
should
be
focused,
not
necessarily
on
people
making
150
000
more,
that
they
don't
need
assistance
to
help
relocate
themselves
to
happiness,
okay,
infrastructure
projects.
You
know
a
lot
of
the
state
and
federal
money
stimulus
money
that
came
out
focused
on
infrastructure
projects,
so
the
edc
is
doing
all
it
can
to
advocate.
O
For
some
of
these
specifically
sewer
and
broadband
expansion
projects,
albany
and
chancey
were
working
on
that
and
then,
of
course,
I
think
this
council
is
very
privy
to
to
all
of
the
work
going
around
broadband
expansion.
So
we
continue
to
work
closely
with
paul
issuerwood
and
the
hapcap
team
on
broadband
expansion
and
we
serve
on
the
advisory
committee,
because
we
of
course
know
that
accessible
and
affordable
internet
now
is
a
basic
utility.
D
O
That
and
then
I
want
to
spotlight
this
business
view
magazine
feature
so
kate
perrini
is
a
product
specialist.
This
would
not
have
happened
without
her.
I
think
we
found
out
that
we
were
selected
for
the
the
feature
story
like
a
week
before
I
went
on
the
trinity
leave.
So
kate
did
a
great
job
of
coordinating
interviews
and
whatnot,
so
we
were
featured
at
athens
county.
We
pitched
this
to
businessview
magazine
for
their
buildback
stronger
edition.
O
They
were
really
curious.
I
wanted
to
to
spotlight
on
the
approach
that
the
city
and
county
had
taken
to
coven
19
recovery.
So
if
anyone
hasn't
council
members
haven't
seen
this
article
we're
more
than
happy
to
share
the
link
with
you,
I
want
everyone
to
read
it,
but
I'm
a
big
thanks
to
kate
for
all
of
her
efforts
on
that.
While
I
was
out
she
made
this
happen,
I
include
this
in
in
this
slide
every
year,
it's
just
the
programs,
the
economic
development
tools
and
programs
that
our
city
helps
manage
and
administer.
O
So
the
tax
incentive
review
council,
the
tiff
along
east
8th
street.
You
know
we
do
that
reporting
each
year.
With
the
help
from
the
auditor
and
the
mayor,
we
manage
our
enterprise
zone
agreements
downtown
redevelopment
districts,
which
this
will
be
the
first
year.
We
have
to
actually
report
on
the
drds
revolving
loan
funds
and
then
something
new
that
we
did
through
the
port
authority.
This
year
was
issue
revenue
bonds
for
the
voter
cooper
housing
project
which,
as
you
all
know,
will
create
affordable.
O
These
are
our
partnerships,
whether
administrative
operational
or
just
general
partnerships.
You
know
we
can't
work
in
a
silo,
so
we
rely
on
a
lot
of
strong
partnerships
and
continue
to
foster
those
to
get
our
work
done
and
to
leverage
opportunity
for
the
city
and
the
county
and
then
looking
forward,
I'm
gonna
get
that
building
built,
we're
gonna
hit
that
speculative
building
built,
and
then
I've
been
working
very
closely
with
city
planner.
O
Paul
logue
on
a
vibrant
communities
grant
so
that's
a
jobs,
ohio
program
that
is
actually
for
communities,
not
businesses,
and
so
we
will.
The
focus
of
that
grant
request
will
be
for
the
armory
rehabbing,
the
armory
and
creating
a
co-working
space
industry
diversification
efforts
are
always
ongoing.
We're
working
with
buckeye
hills
on
a
study
now
actually
to
help
identify
where
best
to
diversify,
we'll
continue
to
build
out
that
remote
work
policy
and
then
opportunity
zones,
of
course,
and
then
the
one
the
second
to
last
bullet.
O
You
know
workforce
challenges,
it's
not
an
athens
problem,
it's
not
a
ohio
problem,
it's
a
national
problem,
but
the
edc
is
committed
to
continuing
to
work
with
our
workforce
partners
to
see
how
we
can
bridge
gaps
between
the
skills
that
our
our
businesses
so
badly
need,
and
some
of
our
training
facilities,
our
educational
institutions,
to
to
bridge
those
gaps,
and
I
think
that's
it.
I
tried
to
go
quick.
I
hope
that
was
fascinating.
O
O
Yeah,
I
actually
just
had
a
call
with
paulo
today
about
that.
You
know
I
think
they're
going
to
assist
with
this
grant
that
we're
putting
together
for
vibrant
communities.
Given
some
of
the
work
that
they're
doing,
I
think
with
cost
estimates.
They
should
be
able
to
contribute
to
this
portion
of
the
the
grant
narrative
in
terms
of
what
the
cost
is
going
to
be
to
to
rehab
the
armory.
We
want
to
make
sure
those
numbers
are
accurate
before
we
submit
that
grant.
E
So
great
yeah,
I
only
asked
because
I
it
was
great
to
see
your
involvement
with
remote
work
efforts
and
understanding
that
and
the
opportunities
that
we
have
going
forward
and
we
had
previously
entered
into
a
contract
with
senator
creek
crisis
to
analyze
that
even
further.
So
I
wondered
if
there
was
any
partnerships.
O
O
Yes,
so
enterprise
zone
agreements
are
it's
an
incentive
program
that
encourages
businesses
to
to
make
capital
investments,
create
more
jobs,
increase
payroll.
So
the
way
it
works
is
if
a
business
makes
an
investment
in
real
property
value
and
the
real
property
value
of
a
property
increases.
They
get
a
60.
O
You
can
technically
go
above
60.
We
don't
ever
go
above
60,
because
that
requires
school
board
approval.
We
don't
want
to
take
from
the
school
boards
or
from
our
schools,
but
it's
a
60
tax
abatement
on
any
improved
property,
so
which
is,
it
can
be
significant
if
you're
putting
a
couple
million
dollars
into
a
building
60
of
the
improved
property
of
that
building
can
be
a
good
incentive
for
a
business.
So
that's
how
that.
A
And
development,
thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
we'll
move
on
to
finance
and
personnel
committee,
that's
chaired
by
councilmember,
crowl
and
joined
by
council
members,
reisner
and
smedley,
and
we
have
one
item
on
that
and
I
know
that
we
also
have
our
hr
director
and
our
auditor
and
our
service
safety
director
here
to
to
help
with
some
of
that
information.
Tonight
too,.
I
I
P
There
are
a
few
items
that
we're
proposing
to
change
to,
for
the
for
the
non-unions
benefit
package,
the
first
one.
Second,
four
vacation,
it's
a
it's
a
cleanup
of
language
for
for
fire
personnel
and
it's
they'll
receive
their
48
hours
due
under
the
under
the
contract.
So
essentially,
what
this
will
do
is
eliminate
the
potential
for
doubling
their
vacation.
When
that's
not
the
intent,
you
know
so
there's
a
certain
amount
of
time.
You
get
your
bonus
experience.
You
get
your!
P
P
Section
16
of
the
non-unions
benefit
ordinance
ad
wording
that
unused
military
hours
will
be
removed.
September
30th
and
the
new
hours
will
be
added
october
1st.
So
this
is
just
a
putting
it
on
a
different
schedule,
not
taking
anything.
It's
just
changing
the
schedule,
section
21
paid
holidays
we
would
like
to
add.
Juneteenth
is
one
of
one
of
the
federal
holidays
that
our
employees
would
recognize.
P
Section
22
promotions
ladder
will
transfer
to
motion
new
hires
and
current
employees.
This
is
just
a
addition.
In
section
b,
employees
would
receive
their
birthday
holiday
upon
the
completion
of
their
probationary
period.
So
you
need
to
complete
your
probation
and
you're
entitled
to
your
birthday
holiday.
P
So
what
this
was,
what
this
is
intended
to
address
is
there's
sometimes
in
our
non-union
employees
career
they
may
top
out
they'll
reach
their
highest
range
of
their
pay
and
then
they're
they're
stuck
so
when
we,
when,
when
you
pass
a
cost
of
living
allowance,
they
receive
something
of
an
allowance,
but
it's
not
counting
towards
their
benefits,
their
retirement.
Things
of
that
nature.
I
E
P
E
P
E
P
P
P
The
proposed
pay
ban
for
each
position,
and
then
I
also
took
and
put
every
position
that
is
in
the
non-union
and
if
there
were
more
than
one
put
that
in
there
so
that
we
could
see
more
comprehensively
that
there
are
more
than
one
fire
captain.
So,
instead
of
just
fire,
captain
pay
grade
nine,
we
have
all
three
captains
and
what
their
various
rates
are.
P
So
this
is
a
little
bit
more
expansive.
If
you
see
on
the
right
with
justification,
most
of
them
are
raised
to
minimum
of
pay
band.
Some
of
those
again.
This
goes
back
to
why
I
separated
out
with
positions
like
multiple
positions:
multiple
people
in
the
same
title,
some
movement
through
the
pay
ban,
based
on
what
would
happen
if
a
person
was
raised
to
the
minimum
of
a
pay
ban
and
there's
a
person,
that's
been
in
that
position
for
a
long
time
and
all
they
would
do
would
benefit
from
a
cost
of
living.
P
P
I
B
H
I
I
D
I
N
N
One
thing
I
really
wanted
to
do-
and
this
was
a
discussion
at
council-
was
to
talk
to
our
hr
consultants,
clemens,
nelson
and
so
ron
reached
out
to
them,
because
he
had
questions
for
them.
Also
and
drew
esposito
has
been
our
representative
for
all
these
years
and
anyway
he
was
busy
all
last
week
and
got
back
to
ron
this
morning,
and
so
we
have
a
meeting
with
him
tomorrow.
So
I
don't
have
anything
to
add
to
that.
N
Until
we
do
that,
I
think
he
will
be
a
more
neutral
person
and
who
has
likely
dealt
with
different
entities
who
have
employed
this
process.
We
got
not
as
many
responses
to
our.
How
is
it
working
email,
as
we
did
to
people
who
have
have
policies
through
our
previous
email,
and
you
know
basically
they're
happy
with
it,
but
I
feel
like
that's
only
one
side
of
it.
You
know
we
can
go
through
and
pick
out
all
the
real
good
ones.
N
D
D
A
A
C
Well,
as
some
of
you
might
remember,
council
came
forward
and
asked
the
planning
commission
to
look
at
short-term
rentals.
Many
people
in
the
community
asked
for
it
to
be
investigated
and
also
in
our
comprehensive
plan.
It's
been
talked
about
in
those
other
things,
so
I
put
together
with
other
people
on
council,
a
resolution
just
pretty
like
the
parking
process.
C
A
resolution
goes
forward,
goes
planning,
commission
planning,
commission,
holds
meetings,
informational
meetings
and
a
public
hearing,
so
the
short-term
rental
is
now
back
to
us
with
the
recommendations
from
the
planning
commission.
So
that's
what's
in
front
of
you
right
now
is
just
the
changes
to
residential
zones.
This
isn't
dealing
with
the
b
zones
or
anything
because
we
did
that
several
years
ago.
So
basically,
what
it's
doing
is
for
r1
areas.
C
It
is
establishing
a
requirement
for
a
short-term
rental
permit
if,
by
the
keeping
of
not
more
than
two
renters
by
a
resident
owner
for
periods
less
than
30.
30
days,
it
does
not
allow
for
non-owner
people
to
have
a
short-term
rental
like
you
do
for
long-term
rentals,
and
then
it
it.
The
changes
for
the
long-term
rentals
is
just
basic
definitional
changes
and
making
sure
that
they
are
up
to
date
with
the
provisions
of
the
chapter
29,
which
is
our
housing
code.
C
C
C
That
was
that
will
reflect
the
changes
chapter
17,
which
is
the
short-term
rental
fee
tax
and
title
one
which
will
have
the
fees.
So
one
thing
I
would
like
to
say
why
it's
being
brought
up
right
now.
It's
partly
because
I
you
know
it
came
forward,
it
was.
It
spent
the
maximum
amount
of
time
that
it
could.
With
the
planning
commission,
the
planning
commission
did
hold
like
the
parking
one.
They
did
hold
a
public
hearing
on
it.
C
They
got
many
many
input
from
lots
and
lots
of
different
citizens.
They
did
their
magic
balancing
act
that
they
do
just
like.
The
parking
is
that
they
go
and
they
look
at
all
the
input,
both
in
person
in
the
emails
talking
with
people
on
the
street,
all
that
sort
of
input
for
the
planning
commission
and
they
put
together
this
recommendation.
H
Thank
you.
You
mentioned
the
athens
2040
comprehensive
plan,
which
I
appreciate,
and
I
wasn't
able
to
find
anything
specifically
about
short
term
or
long
term
rentals,
but
I
do
see
in
our
section
on
housing
and
neighborhoods
that
the
significant
number
of
rental
housing
units
skis
athens
market
heavily
towards
housing
for
ohio
university
students
and
puts
an
immense
burden
on
the
limited
resources
of
city's
code
enforcement
and
community
development
office.
C
C
Services
that
are
better
there
than
other
areas
in
the
city
what's
found
is
a
lot
of
times
that
affordable
housing
or
those
sort
of
issues
kind
of
get
voiced
off
onto
the
resource
poor
area.
They
tend
to
have
better
outcomes
if
it's
shared
throughout
the
whole
city.
You
know,
and
that
way
you're
not
just
putting
the
affordable
housing
in
one
area
sort
of
thing.
So
does
that
kind
of
explain
that.
H
That
answers
that
adds
some
knowledge.
I
am
wondering,
though,
are
we
expecting
that
census
creates
opportunities
for
property
owners
to
do
short-term
rentals,
for
example,
in
different
ways,
will
we
see
or
expect
to
see
more
properties,
go
toward
rental
purposes
and
less
or
fewer
be
available
for
permanent
residence.
C
C
I
think
that
what
we
saw
through
covid
is
that
a
lot
of
people
are
land
rich
in
athens.
They
may
be
in
that
house,
but
they
may
be
struggling
to
make
ends
meet.
They
may
not
want
to
go
and
have
people
in
their
house
full
time
all
the
time.
So
it
may
offer
some
people
an
opportunity
to
make
some
money
from
their
house,
but
maybe
be
able
to
stay
in
their
house,
maybe
be
able
to
change
it
over
from
a
rental
into
maybe
they're
moving
back
into
town
and
those
sort
of
things.
L
But
there
are
people
who
would
be
as
member
faulted,
more
able
to
afford
living
in
a
house
if
they
could
rent
out
a
bedroom
or
two
on
busy
weekends
and
things
like
that
with.
So
I
don't.
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
I
just
I
don't
see
rental,
long-term
rental
properties
being
converted
to
short-term
rental
properties
and
because
of
the
restrictions
on
where
you
can
have
a
not
owner
occupied.
I
don't.
E
So
this
does
offer
the
opportunity
for
short-term
rentals
in
our
ones
and
then
also
non-resident
owner
residents
are
offered
this
opportunity
in
in
our
ones
if
they
have
butt
our
r2
r3
and
any
b
zone.
So
if
we
can
get
a
map
of
that,
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
to
kind
of
get
a
sense
of
what
communities
were
talking
about.
That
would
be
helpful.
E
H
C
November
22nd,
thank
you
here
in
council
and
I
I
want
to
say
something
about
you
know.
People
have
a
concern
when
we've
talked
about
the
meeting
back
in
in
council
and
everything.
However,
if
we
have
a
public
hearing,
that
does
not
mean
that
you
have
to
be
here
saying
something
for
it
to
be
put
into
the
record.
So
if
you
want
to
email
it
in
or
you
want
to
facebook
it
in
that's
fine
and
that's
perfectly
acceptable,
and
that's
the
same
for
anything
that
we've
talked
about.
C
L
I
just
from
some
of
the
comments
that
I've
received.
I
want
to
clarify
that
this
ordinance
creates
a
permitting
process
for
short-term
rentals,
which
currently
does
not
exist.
That
doesn't
mean
that
short-term
rentals
do
not
exist.
It
just
means
they're
not
currently
permitted
within
the
city,
and
so
I
think
the
fact
that
if
you
go
on
vrbo
or
airbnb
and
look
for
a
short-term
rental
in
athens
there,
there
are
a
few
but
very
very
few
and
and
they
as
long
as
you
are
renting
a
space
out
for
less
than
six
months
of
the
year.
L
You
could
do
that
right
now
without
any
permitting
any
regulation
and
there's.
The
fact
that
there
are
very
very
few
to
me
tells
us
that
there's
very
little
there's
there's
not
a
huge
demand
for
it,
so
it's
not
going
to
be
well
once
once
we
put
a
whole
structure
of
rules
in
place
to
make
sure
that
they
are
being
permitted
and
that
the
transient
guest
taxes
are
being
collected
appropriately.
L
C
And
and
one
of
the
things
with
part
of
it
being
in
chapter
29,
the
housing
code
where
the
permitting
process
is
is
talked
about.
This
means
that
that
can
be
updated.
If
we
find
that
there's
tweaks
that
we
need
that,
need
that,
don't
they
don't
need
to
go
through
the
planning
commission,
because
they're
not
dealing
necessarily
with
changing
zones.
So
it's
a
way
of
updating.
C
I
D
I
I
The
compromise
that
was
made
through
the
planning
commission
and
through
your
work
member
fault
not
to
have
a
blanket
process
in
r1
zones,
but
to
restrict
it
to
major
arteries,
and
then
the
abutting
zones,
I
think,
is
the
is
the
right
compromise
to
make
this
work
effectively.
And
I
would
agree
with
the
member
grace
that
the
permitting
process,
because
we
do
know
that
there
are
current
active
short-term
rentals
in
the
city-
does
allow
us
to
have
more
control
over
where
they
are
and
how
they
are
run
and
the
economics.
Thank
you.
Q
K
G
K
G
K
Goes
and
says
you
know
what
I'm
going
to
rent
out
my
house
under
vrbo
and
I'm
going
to
bring
kathy
the
the
money
for
the
transit
guest
tax,
and
you
know
I
don't
know
that
many
people
are
doing
that.
But
this
mechanism
then
creates
that
list
that
then
allows
the
transit
guest
tax
to
be
collected
as
well.
So
there's.
K
That
went
in
from
planning
commission
to
do
this.
It's
the
best
I
got
you
know.
I
don't
know
that
we
could
threaded
the
needle
much
more
from
that.
So
you
know
obviously
there'll
be
plenty
of
opportunity
for
comment
associated
with
the
reading
for
the
ordinance
and
if
you
want
to
take
in
more
consideration,
but
you
know
I
I've
exhausted
my
ability
to
make
it
any
better.
I
think.
L
I
would
say
we
could
probably
get
information
from
the
tourism
board
on
how
frequently
our
hotels
are
full
and,
or
you
know
how,
how
frequently
we
have
sort
of
like
high
capacity
and
weekends
which,
as
part
of
the
university
community,
you
can
probably
guess
what
those
are
or
of
the
athens
community.
You
know
what
what
our
high
capacity
times
are
and
those
so
we're
likely
to
fill
up
places
that
have
permits
during
that
time.
C
A
J
J
J
R
R
R
R
But
how
is
the
code
office
that's
currently
under
staff
going
to
find
out
if
the
person's
present
or
just
the
owner
of
the
dwelling
somebody
said,
there's
no
demand
to
me.
This
appears
to
be
another
solution.
Looking
for
a
problem
looks
like
the
infamous
pollinator
program.
You
know
many
people
have
signed
up
for
that
so
far
zero.
R
D
E
S
S
S
C
C
S
L
S
A
We're
not
in
any
way
wanting
to
increase.
I
mean,
I
don't
think
our
intent
is
just
as
safety
director
stone
said
it's
to
designate
a
permitting
process
so
that
we
can
control
it.
So
we
can
can
gain
some
transient,
guest
tax
and
but
also
we
don't
want
our
rentals
going
from
75
percent
rentals
in
the
city
to
80
percent,
because
they're
more
short-term
rentals
exactly
right.
So
that's
what
I
wanted
to
be
sure,
but
we
can.
We
can
clarify
with
the
law
director's
office
to
make
sure.
S
S
S
D
A
C
T
T
Somebody
explaining
I'm
not
understanding,
here's
my
concern,
I'm
not
concerned
about
r2
r3,
any
visa,
I'm
concerned
only
about
r1
and
I'm
concerned
about
the
near
east
side,
neighborhood
for
two
reasons:
one
using
your
common
sense
that
is
going
to
be
the
neighborhood.
That
is
the
most
affected
by
any
movement
by
this
government
body
and
two.
That's
where
I
live
now.
T
L
It
says:
short-term
rentals,
non-resident
owner
short-term
rentals,
the
keeping
of
not
more
than
three
adult
renters
plus
related
children
by
a
non-resident
owner
for
periods
of
less
than
30
days
on
r1
lots
that
abut
an
r2
r3
or
any
b
zone,
or
that
the
principal
home
fronts
on
east
state
street
carpenter,
street,
lancaster
street
or
columbus
road.
So
it
has
to
be
on
one
of
those
streets
or
that
the
property,
the
lot
abuts
an
r2
or
an
r3
zone.
T
C
T
T
T
T
I
understand
if
they,
but
if
they're,
renting
it
out
temporary
you're,
going
to
get
a
different
crowd.
That's
been
my
concern
from
the
beginning
and
that's
my
concern
here
tonight,
but
apparently
you're
trying
to
run
this
through,
with,
with
total
disregard
to
the
general
public
and
the
quality
of
life.
That's
going
to
be
there's
no
upside,
there's
no
upside
for
the
living
conditions
in
an
r1
zone
and
there's
a
hell
of
a
lot
of
downside
potential.
A
C
J
C
C
J
I
have
a
driveway
and
I
have
a
garage
if
I
have
two
more
people
in
my
house,
I
can
no
longer
fulfill
the
obligations
of
a
single
family
house
because
I
do
not
have
two
additional
parking.
All
I'm
asking
is:
do
those
rules
still
apply
about
having
adequate
parking
as
it
would
if
you
were
renting
a
house
to
a
family
for
a
year
and
they
had
three
cars
and
of
course
one
ends
up
on
the
grass,
because
you
know
no
one,
and
I
understand
why.
J
R
Alan
swank
40
towns:
let's
go
back
to
this
occupied
versus
present.
If
you've
ever
tried
to
rent
a
hotel
room
here
on
graduation
weekend,
it's
pretty
crazy
process.
There
are
people
that
literally
line
up
at
the
door
of
the
oun
and
other
hotels,
exactly
six
months
or
nine
months
out
to
be
the
first
person
in
line,
in
other
words,
hotels,
are
hard
to
find
during
graduation
weekend.
R
So
let's
say
that
I
live
in
an
r1
neighborhood
over
40
townsend
that
I
want
to
rent
my
property
out
for
graduation
weekend
and
I'm
going
to
go
so
far.
You
know
what
maximize
this
I'm
gonna
make
it
a
three
night
minimum
thursday
night
friday
night
saturday
night
and
I
can
buy
this
ordinance,
only
rent
it
to
two
people
and
I
might
be
able
to
get
fifteen
hundred
dollars
for
that.
R
J
R
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
we're
asking
you
to
slow
this
down,
because
there
are
stay
in
your
house.
What's
that,
did
you
let
strangers
even
1500?
Would
you
let
strangers
have
your
house
for
the
weekend
absolutely
yeah.
I
don't
know
why.
I
would
do
that
because
my
daughter
lives
right
across
the
street
okay,
but
you
know
what
I'm
giving
you
fifteen
hundred
dollars.
M
M
R
C
J
D
C
I
think
one
thing
that
I
I
have
some
disappointment
in
is
that
we
trust
our
neighbor
so
little
and
we're
trying
planning
commission
tried
very
very
hard
to
thread
that
needle
between
trusting
your
neighbors
and
trusting
what
they
do,
trusting
that
they
want
the
best
for
their
house
because
they're
the
owner
and
they
live
there
and
going
and
having
the
other
extreme
of
what.
If
this
or
what?
C
If
that
that's
already
happening,
if
we
make
a
law
that
says
you
cannot
have
a
short-term
rental,
it
will
not
stop
short-term
rentals
in
the
city,
because
there
will
be
people
who
will
go
forward
and
do
it
and
presently
we
have
short-term
rentals
out
there
that
are
not
causing
any
problem.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
make
it
much
more
of
a
regulated
market
so
that
you
don't
have
problems
and
that
you
don't
have
impacts
or
interference
with
the
other
uses
of
those
neighborhoods
they're
out
there.
They're
working
people
like
dynamic
bay
has
them.
A
C
A
D
A
Already
had
several
minutes
over,
you
can
do
one
more
question
and
then
for
two
minutes
and
then
we're
going
to
have
we're
going
to
go
on
to
our
other
committee
items
because
we
do
have
a
public
hearing
and
we
have
an
opportunity
for
people
offering
feedback.
So
three
minutes
for
mr
dillac
two
minutes
for
mr
stropher.
A
U
Rob
black
live
on
124
morris
avenue
in
the
near
eastside
neighborhood
in
r1
zone,
and
I
think,
as
it's
been
stated
already
by
folks
in
city
council
by
the
mayor
and
service
safety
director
stone,
it's
the
wild
law
west
out
there
right
now.
If
there
is
demand
for
this
in
excess,
it
would
be
happening.
U
We
have
something
that
I
think
we're
afraid
the
sky
is
falling,
the
sky
could
fall
right
now.
The
way
it
is
there's
nothing
to
stop
it.
This
is
a
reasonable
proposal
that
has
been
well
vetted
through
a
long
process
and
it's
finally
here
I'm
glad
to
see
that,
and
I
would
like
to
see
this
legislation
passed
to
regulate
short-term
rentals
in
my
neighborhood.
U
I
would
like
to
see
that,
but
I
would
also
like
to
see
my
neighbors
have
the
opportunity
to
have
a
short-term
rental
if
that's
what
they
need
to
do
financially
to
stay
in
the
house
that
they're,
currently
owning
or
maybe
even
purchase
a
house
and
occupy
it
and
have
a
short-term
rental
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
in
that
house.
Those
are
the
kind
of
things
we
need
to
do
in
this
town
to
make
it
a
better
place.
U
Stopping
all
short-term
rentals
is
not
going
to
make
the
city
a
better
place.
We
need
those
opportunities
for
people
and
I
fully
support
this
up
this
legislation.
I
haven't
seen
all
the
dots-
and
you
know,
details
exactly
here
on
this
look
forward
to
reading
the
details,
but
from
what
I've
heard
tonight,
I
fully
support
that.
I
would
like
to
see
this
go
forward,
but
again
the
sky
is
not
falling.
This
is
not
going
to
ruin
the
city,
it
is
going
to
make
it
a
better
place.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
P
P
And
respect
a
nice
neighborhood
but
be
able
to
afford
to
live
in
it.
I
think
is
helpful
and
I
wasn't
clear
on
the
rules.
I'm
not
running
any
short-term
rental
now,
but
I
would
like
to
do
it
I'd
like
to
see
it
regulated
and
I'd
like
to
pay
taxes
on
it,
because
I
think
that's
the
right
thing
to
do
to
help
the
city
out
and.
G
D
P
T
Thank
you.
I
asked
beg
really
for
you
not
to
allow
short
term
rentals
in
the
r1
zone.
You
have
all
your
b
zones,
you
have
your
r3,
you
have
your
r2.
Those
are
intended
for
business.
R1
is
our
most
restrictive
zone
for
a
reason
it
is
sacred
if
r1
is
sacrificed
for
political
favor.
This
body
and
administration
will
do
the
vast
majority
of
citizens
a
disservice
in
the
taking
of
our
property
rights
that
we
bought
and
paid
for
when
we
purchased
our
property.
T
E
A
L
Okay,
thank
you
president
nicely.
We
have
just
one
item
on
our
agenda
this
evening,
and
that
is
the
consideration
of
a
contract
and
administrative
services
contract
with
between
the
city
and
hapcap.
I
think
the
the
partnerships
that
the
city
forms
are
one
of
our
strengths.
It
enables
us
to
really
do
some
some
things
beyond
our
borders,
as
well
as
within
by
partnering
with
agencies
such
as
hapcap,
and
this
is
a
contract
that
would
grant
hapcap
the
administrative
services
responsibilities
for
the
cdbg
allocation
funds.
L
The
city
is
eligible
for
allocation
funds
every
even
year,
and
a
portion
of
those
includes
fair
housing
program
which
we
already
have.
A
contract.
Hapcap
already
administers
that
for
us,
and
there
is
a
maximum
percentage
of
the
grant
that
hapcap
can
charge
for
this
administrative
service
and
that
maximum
percentage
is
15.
However,
the
contract
up
for
our
consideration
is
for
13,
because
the
city
would
still
be
handling
some
pieces
which,
notably
the
city
of
athens,
will
cover
costs
associated
with
citizen
participation
and
project
selection
aspects
of
the
cdbg
program.
L
C
L
L
The
fair
housing
services
is
a
max
of
five
percent
of
the
grant
and
that's
7500,
and
then
19500
would
be
the
the
13
for
general
administration,
leaving
project
expense
available
of
123
000.
So
I
would,
I
would
love
to
see
some
some
of
the
ideas
that
the
administration
has
already.
I
I'm
certain
there's
more
than
a
hundred
and
twenty
three
thousand
dollars
worth
of
projects.
Q
Q
We
but
hapcap
has
a
strong
track
record
in
terms
of
knowing
how
to
navigate
through
that
state
system,
to
write
the
grant
correctly
to
get
that
be
able
to
be
eligible
and
receive
grants
of
that
nature.
But
we
can
certainly
get
a
list
together
for
you.
But
again,
it'll
also
include
some
some
granting
mechanisms
where
we
have
not
been
successful.
L
And
getting
those
like
the
rpeg
and
critical
infrastructure
are
separate
from
and
and
would
involve
different
administration
fees
where
we
if
we
were
to
get
those
grants,
but
I
I
think
half
cap
knows
what
they're
doing
and
they
do
this
well
and
so
we're
fortunate
to
have
the
opportunity
to
partner
with
them.
Are
there
questions
from
council,
but
but
prior
to
first
read
just
a
list
of
some
of
the
projects.
Past
and
future
would
be
fantastic.
