Athens City Council - March 22, 2021
A

Thank
you,
member
cotsas.
This
is
a
bit
of
bookkeeping.
We
need
to
renew
our
notes
in
order
to
pay
for
our
new
parking
meters.
Thank
you.
C
D
Perfect,
thank
you,
and-
and
this
is
once
again
we
discussed
this.
This
is
to
increase
the
the
expenditure
by
about
60
thousand
dollars
to
pay
for
additional
elements
that
were
discovered
once
construction
started
on
the
passageway.
A
Ordinance
28
28-21
is
an
ordinance
creating
the
union
street
downtown
redevelopment
district
in
the
city
of
athens,
declaring
the
improvement
of
certain
parcels
of
real
property
to
be
a
public
purpose
and
exempt
from
taxation
requiring
the
owner
of
the
parcels
to
make
service
payments
in
lieu
of
taxes,
specifying
the
plan
for
use
using
service
payments
to
promote,
promote
economic
development
and
job
creation,
authorizing
the
execution
of
an
economic
development
plan
and
establishing
a
fund
for
the
development
for
the
deposit
of
such
service
payments.
This
is
introduced
by
all
members
of
council
and
I
believe.
C
Thank
you.
I
move
that
we
adopt
28
21.
C
C
This
one
is
for
the
the
downtown
development
zones
you
they're
centered,
on
a
historic
district
later
in
the
committee
meetings,
I
have
a
short
vid
presentation
about
what
these
are
and
what
they
do,
because
they're
going
to
be
something
that
we're
using
in
the
future,
because
they
have
a
lot
of
benefits
and
then
centers
on
on
siemens,
and
that
area
will
be
able
to
capture
some
of
the
development
that
has
been
going
on,
especially
with
the
opelenus
and
ohiohealth.
A
A
A
C
Thank
you.
The
next
three
ordinances
were
introduced
brought
to
council
by
the
mayor.
The
mayor
has
been
going
through
language
in
terms
of
inclusiveness
and
black
lives
matter,
issues
that
have
been
brought
up,
so
he
has
been
doing
that
and
he
wants
to
update
some
of
the
fun
some
of
the
different.
C
A
Second,
by
councilmember
cloudfelter
and
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
council
members
elected
officials,
administration,
and,
if
not,
am
I
in
if
no
comments
or
questions
from
our
attendees
we'll
have
the
vote.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye
motion
carries
in
the
ordinance
is
approved.
A
C
A
C
I
also
want
to
point
out
with
the
story:
we
understand
that
sometimes
duties
and
possibilities
change
for
different
committees,
and
we
understand
that
some
of
the
names
are
not
in
in
conjunction
with
what's
going
on
now,
but
that
we
want
to
do
that,
maybe
in
a
grand
renaming
ordinance
or
something.
So.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Okay
from
council
members,
elected
officials,
administration
or
our
attendees
see
none
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
Thank
you.
Ordinance
3121
is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
title
iii,
administrative
provisions,
section
3.07.50,
establishment
of
the
athens
municipal
arts,
commission,
and
this
is
introduced
by
council
member
fall.
C
C
A
D
D
A
A
If
no
comments
or
questions
we'll
move
on
to
35
35-21,
this
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
compensation
of
greater
than
25
percent.
Through
the
assigned
pay
grade
for
the
newly
hired
assistant
director
of
epw.
That's
our
public
works
department,
and
that
said,
compensation
be
paid
retroactively
to
the
employee's
hire
date.
B
D
B
Thank
you
and
I'll,
just
as
discussed
in
committee
in
that
first
reading,
the
city
administration
has
done
a
very
nice
job
here,
particularly
the
deputy
service
safety
director,
to
look
into
some
of
the
flexibility
we
have
with
the
passage
of,
I
believe
it's
house
bill
444,
and
this
insurance
coverage
should
be
improved
as
well
as
save
the
city
some
money.
E
I
I'm
in
favor
of
of
this
ordinance.
I
think
the
insurance
program
is
a
good
one,
that
we
really
should
get
involved
with,
I'm
just
hoping
that
in
future
negotiations
with
other
vendors
and
people
who
do
business
with
the
city
that
they
can
be
reminded
up
front,
that
council
has
rules
about
how
long
it
takes
to
adopt
something
and
the
number
of
readings
that
it
should
go
through,
and
the
public
input
plus
transparency.
E
So
the
fact
that
we're
having
to
suspend
the
rules.
I
understand
this
as
more
of
a
of
a
problem
with
our
vendor
rather
than
with
the
city
itself,
but
I
would
would
hope
that
in
the
future
that
we
could
remind
them
that,
if,
if
you
want
to
do
business
with
the
city,
please
try
to
follow
our
rules.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
I
had
some
of
the
same
issues,
but
I
also
some
of
the
other
programs
that
we've
used
that's
been
endorsed
by
these
various
city
league
and
those
things
have
been
really
good.
Programs
and
we've
saved
a
lot
by
doing
this
sort
of
adoption
with
other
vendors
that,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
things
about
being
in
these
city,
leagues
in
the
ohio
municipal
league
and
such
so.
Thank
you.
Okay,
thanks.
F
Councilmember
reisner
to
your
point,
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
begun
is
that
my
executive
assistant,
patty
whitmer,
has
put
together
a
tracker
to
where
we're
tracking
the
renewal
dates
in
which
contracts
can
be
renegotiated
or
or
go
with
somebody
else
and
make
sure
that
we've
got
time
for
council
to
go
through
the
full,
full
reading,
three
full
three
readings
and
the
introduction
in
committee.
As
we
move
forward
in
the
future,
we
have
several
contracts.
F
We
have
lots
of
contracts
here
in
the
city,
everything
from
cell
towers,
on
the
parking
garage
to
the
one
that
council
is
is
working
through
tonight.
So
we
will
do.
We
will
do
a
much
better
job
moving
forward
in
the
future
to
where
we
know
what
is
in
front
of
us
what
the
timeline
is
to
either
renegotiate
a
third
party
contract
or
to
go
with
somebody
else,
and
that
way
it
gets
before
council
with
the
time
that
council
needs
to
get
it
through
the
the
appropriate
introduction
and
three
readings.
A
G
D
President
nicely,
thank
you,
you
know
as
as
spring
arrives.
This
is
almost
similar
to
a
a
bear
emerging
from
hibernation.
I
feel,
like
transportation
hasn't
had
much
to
talk
about
here
recently,
but
we
have
a
full
docket
tonight.
We
will
try
to
move
through
these
four
points
as
quickly
as
as
we
can.
D
D
D
We've
landed
on
the
the
idea
of
of
this,
and
this
is
what
we're
pitching
tonight
and
moving
forward
with
to
a
vote
is,
is
lifting
all
of
the
basically
allowing
the
72
parking
72
hour
parking
permit
to
be
available
for
all
streets
of
city
of
athens
now
all
streets.
D
If
you
qualify
for
the
same
the
same
prerequisites
that
exist
on
the
initial
program,
which
is
you
have
to
prove
that
you
do
not
have
off
street
parking,
that
you
are
a
resident
you're
willing
to
pay
a
fee
and
then
also
go
through
the
process
of
being
determined
that
this
that
these
things
are
true
by
the
code
office.
D
So
it's
not
something
that
I
s
that
we
that
we
believe-
and
this
is
we
as
in
director,
riggs
and
and
myself-
that
is
that
we're
going
to
see
a
large
amount
of
people
approach
this,
but
currently
right
now
we
have
a
program
that
only
serves
eight
citizens
of
athens
and
so,
and
it
also
excludes
a
large
population
that
just
does
not
reside
on
any
of
these
streets
that
are
currently
listed
in
the
in
the
program
that
that
is
now
an
ordinance
ordinance
that
went
from
a
pilot
to
to
an
ordinance
program.
D
So
we
believe
that
that
opening
it
up
might
actually
make
the
the
project
at
least
run
a
a
balance
instead
of
a
negative
currently
right
now
to
purchase
those
permits
and
only
provide
them
to
eight
people.
The
city
is
spending
more
money
than
what
the
program
produces
and
so
and
at
the
same
time,
we
also
myself,
as
I
was
looking
into
this
and
and
and
and
thinking
about
it
it.
D
It
wasn't
an
opportunity
for
every
person
in
the
city
to
really
have
this
ability
to
do
this
if
they
had
a
similar
situation
that
existed
on
the
original
streets,
so
that
that
is
that's
it
in
a
nutshell,
and
I
will
mention
member
smedley.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
additional
to
to
add
to
the
conversation.
H
Thanks
member
cutscents,
I
think
you
summarized
it
very
well,
it's
just
an
ability.
It
was
started
as
a
pilot
became
an
ordinance
and
it's
being
it's
being
managed
very
well
and
given
some
feedback
that
we
received
from
constituents,
this
was
an
opportunity
to
expand
and
a
successful
program.
Citywide.
D
Thank
you,
and-
and
I
will
mention
that
in
my
discussions
with
lisa
eliason,
that
her
initial
reaction
to
the
first
ordinance
was
that
there
there
could
be
a
legal
pushback
that
could
be
successful
because
it
wasn't
open
to
all
all
streets.
So
I
feel
like
we're
we're
alleviating
what
could
be
a
future
issue
and
also
giving
citizens
the
opportunity
that,
if
they
have
a
specific
situation
that
this
can
this
could
be
a
remedy
for
it.
I
Thank
you,
member
katsis.
I
just
I.
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea
to
expand
eligibility
for
this.
I
in
reading
through
the
draft,
I
was
just
thinking
that
perhaps
new
item
b
probably
needs
to
be
changed
because
it
it
currently
states
vehicles
parking
in
the
restricted,
72
hour
parking
zone,
but
there
won't
be
a
72-hour
parking
zone,
so
we
would
just
need
to
perhaps
delete
that
so
vehicles,
not
displaying
a
valid
permit,
will
be
subject
to
athens
city
code.
I
C
Thank
you.
I
saw
this
bee.
Thank
you,
sarah.
I
agree
with
the
idea
of
going
citywide.
I
think
that's
awesome,
I
think
in
the
future
we
should
add
language
to
a
model
ordinance
or
a
you
know,
one
that
we
are
trying
for
a
pilot.
We
should
have
automatic
review
after
error
and
and
maybe
two
years
that
it's
available
as
a
pilot.
You
know
it
makes
it
or
breaks
it
because
then
it
will
come
up
again
in
front
of
our
faces
about
it.
C
I
would
I
think
it's
important
to
emphasize
that
it's.
If
you
have
only
one
off
street
parking,
then
you
can
be
eligible.
I
think
that's
really
important,
especially
in
certain
neighborhoods,
where
there's
smaller
houses
and
and
older
people
tend
to
live
in
those
smaller
houses
like
ohio
and
and
those
areas,
and
this
will
really
help
them,
and
you
know,
walk
in
the
car
is
just
really
a
pain
for
a
lot
of
people,
so
this
is
a
really
great
step.
So
thank
you.
D
Okay,
thank
you.
Oh
member
grace.
I
I
thought
of
one
other
thing:
it
says
that
the
application
must
include
proof
of
residence
and
I'm
wondering
if
what
that,
like
I
mean
it,
it
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
permanent
residents.
So
if
someone
has
a
a
lease
with
their
name
and
the
address
or
you
know
since
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
do
move
about,
maybe
their
their
license
wouldn't
show
their
current
address.
So
do
we
have
it
defined
somewhere
what
counts
as
proof
of
residence.
I
So
yeah,
I
would
be
interested
in
knowing
specifically
what,
if,
if
they
have
specific
criteria
for
that,
and
perhaps
even
including
that
language,
so
that
when
when
this
is
publicized,
it's
easier
for
people
to
know
exactly
what
they
need,
what
information
they
need
correct.
J
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
I
agree.
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
the
points
that
have
been
made
about
this
bill.
I
think
it's
a
very
good
idea.
I
definitely
support
it,
but
I
would
like
to
just
emphasize
a
really
good
point
that
I
think
member
fall
made
as
just
a
a
matter
of
practice.
J
I
think
it
really
would
be
good
to
perhaps
say
in
the
language
of
the
ordinances
for
any
future
pilot
programs
when
we
would
be
reviewing
the
program
whether
we
want
to
make
that
one
year
out
two
years
out
what
have
you,
but
that
if
we
say
that
right
up
front
and
determine
that
right
up
front,
when
we
initiate
a
pilot
program,
then
it
will.
J
D
A
And
I'm
wondering
if
it's
so
much
a
pilot
program
as
it
is,
you
want
to
set
it
up
for
annual
review,
because
we've
moved
from
it
being
a
pilot
program
and
saying
you
know
it's
kind
of
like
an
ad
hoc
committee
that
has
a
very
specific
focus
and
time
and
now
we're
implementing
a
brand
new
policy,
and
if
you
bring
it
up
for
the
annual,
you
could
say
annual
review
on
the
effective
date.
You
know
the
300.
You
know
one
year
from
the
effective
date
of
the
signing.
You
know
of
the
of
the
ordinance
the.
D
The
pilot
already
had
a
had
an
annual
review
because
it
expired.
H
Thanks
member
copses
yeah,
I
think
I
was
understanding
the
comments
to
be
applied
to
any
future
pilots
and
and
was
just
gonna
agree
with
president
nicely
that
for
this
it
wouldn't
necessarily
be
applicable.
But
yes,
normally,
when
you
have
a
pilot,
it's
there's
a
time
frame
associated
with
it
that
you
have
to
bring
it
back
up,
so
that
is
already
kind
of
built
in
typically
into
a
pilot
program.
H
But
and
then,
of
course,
your
residence
will
tell
you
when
it's
time
to
review
something
right
when
we
hear
from
feedback
from
our
constituents,
which
which
was
the
case
for
this
particular
initiation
for
this
review-
and
I
think
maybe
that
was
law
director
eliason's
point
as
well.
Thank
you.
D
Perfect,
thank
you.
Any
additional
questions
comments
all
right,
we're
good,
okay,
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
to
vending,
and
so
yes
in
my
in
my
time
here
I
believe
we
we
have.
We
have
looked
and
reviewed
and
and
and
worked
on
on
the
vending
and
it's
it's
time
that
it's
going
to
get
revisited
again
now.
D
This
is
this
is
coming
from
administration
and-
and
it
was,
it
was
from
a
discussion
with
director
riggs
and
safety
service
director,
tom
pyle,
and
mostly
because
there
were
there
was
there
was
a
specific
issue
of
of
of
certain
vendors,
not
really
happy
with
the
way
things
were
working
and
director
riggs
said
I
feel
like
I
can.
D
I
can
do
better
here,
and
so
he
went
back
and
a
couple
months
later
came
forward
with,
with
with
a
little
bit
of
a
of
a
tune
up
and
and
basically
the
the
major
points
here
are
that
there
will
be.
D
It
thus
infuriating
some
of
the
other
vendors
who
were
showing
up
and
could
not
necessarily
use
the
spot
that
that
was
sitting
empty,
and
so,
additionally,
with
this
safety
service
director
tom
pyle,
reached
out
to
ohio
university
and
said
we
were
hoping
to
also
maybe
expand
the
program,
as
we
know
that
this
was
a
conversation
a
year
or
two
ago.
D
Maybe
it
was
even
longer.
They
tend
to
melt
together
about
trying
to
open
up
additional
areas
instead
of
just
having
the
east
union
area.
So
two
new
areas,
a
one
off
of
armory
street,
so
right
next
to
armor
the
armory
and
then
on
the
opposite
side
of
court
street,
well,
not
on
court
street,
but
on
south
congress
street
between
president
street
and
west
union.
So
this
would
be
in
a
lot
of
these
spaces
that
would
be
along
just
just
past.
D
Buffalo
wild
wings
next
to
the
the
old
psac
building,
which
I
cannot
remember
what
the
other
name
of
that
building
was
that
was
that
was
taken
down
by
the
university
a
few
years
ago.
Ou
wants
to
partner
and
that
they
would
be
providing
tables
in
that
green
space.
D
So
the
vendors
would
have
an
outdoor
eating
area
that
that
people
could
utilize
there
on
the
opposite
side
on
north
court
street,
you
have
the
ability
to
utilize
armory
park,
so
it
as
as
things
get
formulated
there
or
if
there's
events
or
things
like
that,
you
can
bring.
You
can
roll
your
your
kitchens
into
those
those
spaces
and
and
provide
food
for
events.
D
So
these
are
the
you
know
the
new
opportunities
that
that
vendors
would
be
able
to
choose
from,
and
then
let's
see
additionally,
the
times
change
a
little
bit
on
when
the
spaces
are
are
reserved
instead
of
4
a.m,
to
4
p.m.
Sunday,
through
thursday,
it
is
now
4
a.m,
to
12
p.m,
which
then
opens
up
those
spaces
to
to
anyone
else
after
after
12
p.m.
D
Sunday,
through
thursday,
4
a.m
to
12
a.m,
friday,
through
sunday
so
still
weekend,
you
have
a
the
vendors,
have
a
good
opportunity
to
to
set
up
shop,
but
it
does
open
up
early
afternoon
into
evening
that
those
spaces
can
be
used
by
residents
if
they
are
not
being
utilized
by
vendors.
D
The
other
additional
point
that
I
that
I
feel
is
is
is
worth
mentioning
too
is
the
fee
goes
from
125
per
month
up
to
200
per
month,
and
they
just
felt
like
it
was
time
to
to
kind
of
equalize
that
and
bring
it
in
line
with
what
what
other,
what
other
costs
are,
are
at
this
point.
So
that's
that's
it
in
a
nutshell.
Any
any
comments,
questions
at
this
point.
J
I
haven't
recently
reviewed
the
previous
member
contract
but,
as
I
recall,
there
was
some
language
in
there
that
was
a
little
bit
hard
to
understand
about
the
way
that
the
monthly
payments
were
going
to
be
calculated
or
something,
and
I
just
wonder
in
in
the
process
of
making
these
changes,
some
of
which
sound
excellent.
I
really
like
the
idea,
in
particular,
of
allowing
vendors
to
line
up
on
that
little
street
kind
of
in
in
front
of
bentley
hall
that
that
could
get
a
lot
of
customers
there.
J
I
wonder
if
that
language
is
going
to
be
clarified
as
well
to
the
vendors.
Will
it
just
be
200
per
month
period?
Yeah?
Okay,
thank
you
for
nodding,
your
head
mayor
patterson.
I
think
that's
a
good
move.
I
heard
from
a
couple
of
vendors
that
they
were
just
confused
and
I
so
I'm
glad
that
you're
alleviating
that
confusion
in
this
in
the
process
of
making
these
beneficial
changes.
D
And
if
you,
if
you
review
the
document
that
is
in
our
drive,
it
not
only
has
the
new
language
in
there,
but
it
has
the
old
language
crossed
out.
So
you
will
be
able
to
kind
of
see
what
has
been
you
know
streamlined
in
this.
D
Process
a
member
fall.
C
Thank
you
I,
this
is
long
overdue.
It's
great
thank
you
to
reaching
out
to
everybody
pete.
That
was
awesome.
I
think
that
we
should
broaden
our
view
also,
because
I
think,
if
one
of
the
things
after
covid,
I
think
that
people
are
going
to
want
to
eat
outside
a
whole
lot
more
and
that
with
the
coupled
with
the
parklets
that
we've
been
doing
and
the
model
that
we
did,
and
we
can
do
some
more
things
like
that
in
the
armory
and
these
other
things.
C
E
For
those
vendors
who
currently
are
holding
a
and
b
permits,
how
will
they
be
phased
into
this?
The
new
permitting
system
which,
since
there's
only
one,
would
not
have
a
letter.
F
I
don't
believe
we
have
any
b
permit
holders.
You
know
the
b
permit
process
was
one
where
if
an
individual
was
just
starting
up,
it
was
a
way
that
we
could
graduate
them
ultimately
up
to
an
a
permit
to
where
they're
paying
the
full
price.
It
was
over
the
course
of
three
years.
It
was
half
of
the
a
permit
cost.
Then,
a
year
later
it
was
up
by
x,
amount
more
and
then
year
three,
it
went
up
again.
F
It
was
graduated
and
then
then
they
under
the
old
ordinance.
Then
after
three
years
you
had
to
be
an
a
permit
holder.
So
I
don't
think
there
are
any
be
permit
holders
currently
remember
eisner,
but
okay
striking
this,
you
know
if
there
were
any
be
permit
holders,
then
it
just
you're
going
to
go
into
the
permit
period.
It's
going
to
be
a
flat
rate
200
to
all
vendors.
F
F
The
other
thing
that
I've
always
had
to
be
mindful
of
with
vending
spaces
is
to
continue
to
honor
those
who
are
bricks
and
mortar
restaurants
to
where
we're
not
necessarily
putting
food
trucks
right
in
front
of
them.
So
being
mindful,
you
know
so
with
armory,
you
know
the
and
those
would
be
by
the
way
they
would
be
the
parallel
parking
spaces
next
to
the
next
to
the
masonic
temple.
F
Thank
you
on
that
side,
which
would
be
the
west
side
of
armory,
not
the
head-in
parking
that
is
up
against
the
armory,
and
so
and,
as
was
indicated,
I
mean
that's,
giving
people
the
opportunity
to
to
better
for
us
to
have
people
better
utilize
armory
park
and
enjoy
the
outdoor
space
for
eating,
to
which
we
will.
We
have
picnic
tables.
F
D
Okay,
member
crowl.
B
Thank
you,
member
concess.
What
will
be
the
you
know?
The
issue
before
with
east
union
street
parking
spots
was
having
them
be
reserved
for
vendors
and
not
allowing
anyone
to
park
there
during
certain
hours.
So
will
all
of
these
spots
reserved
for
vendor
parking.
B
So
that
includes
every
spot,
we're
talking
about
all
the
spots
on
east
union.
So
all
the
spots
in
east
union
may
still
be
totally
empty
every
morning,
but
but
if
a
vendor
pulls
in
before
noon,
then
they
can
use
it
correct.
Yes,.
B
D
Any
additional
ques
member
grace.
I
Thank
you,
member
katsas,
just
going
off
of
what
member
crawl
was
saying,
how
and-
and
it
may
be
in
here-
and
I
missed
it,
but
will
there
be
a
change
in
the
number
of
reserve
spots
on
union
because
for
a
little
while,
the
goal
was
to
only
have
the
number
of
spaces
that
people
actually
had
permits
for,
because
that
was
the
only
place
that
the
permits
were
permissible.
So
how
many
of
those
spaces?
If
we're
opening
up
the
other
areas,
will
be
designated
okay.
F
F
What
you're
saying
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
You
know
do
we
do
we
need
to
have
what
is
it
eight
or
ten
vending
spaces
right
in
front
of
the
college
green
if
we're
going
to
expand
it
on
president
or
on
to
north
richland
avenue
or
south
congress?
Whatever
you
want,
whatever
it
is,.
J
And
just
to
clarify
mainly
for
the
benefit
of
the
public,
are
you
saying
that
if
a
vendor
purchases,
one
of
these
permits
and
say,
drives
drives
the
truck
in
in
the
morning
and
all
the
spots
are
taken
on
east
union?
They
can
then
go
to
the
other
two
locations
and
just
find
a
spot.
That's
open.
F
J
D
B
B
You
know,
12
to
15
spots
reserved
only
for
vendors
in
the
city,
and
we
may
only
have
two
vendors
with
licenses
and
we're
going
to
run
into
the
same
problem
we
had
before
of
of
citizens
saying
why
can't
I
park
here,
so
I
do
think
we
should
look
at
maybe
not
having
all
those
spots
on
east
union,
although
quite
frankly
I
think
that's
the
most
popular
spot
and
I
think,
on
a
normal
day
in
athens,
those
are
going
to
be
the
spots
that
vendors
come
back
they're
going
to
want
to
be.
Certainly
it's
the
most.
B
I
think
you
know
it's
the
closest
to
downtown
it's
the
closest
to
campus,
it's
very
nice
to
sit
at
the
monument
and
eat
your
sandwich,
so
I
think
those
will
still
be
very
popular
spots.
So
if
we
limit
those
to
only
a
certain
number
of
vendors
that
may
get
complicated
too
and
vendors,
you
know
I
don't
know-
I
think,
there's
still
some
things
to
think
about
for
with
with
these
changes.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
D
And-
and
I
see
that
safety
service
director
has
turned
on
his
camera,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done
on
this
so
far
and
also
director
riggs,
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
tonight.
G
So,
just
to
elaborate,
the
notion
with
the
revisions
would
be
to
draw
down
the
number
of
spaces
on
east
union
street,
probably
to
around
four
to
start.
G
We
were
thinking
two
to
four
at
the
on
the
south
congress
site
and
two
spaces
at
the
armory,
so
even
at
maximum
that'd
be
10
spaces
on
three
different
locations
total.
My
gut
tells
me
the
university
didn't
exactly
say
that
they
would
put
the
tables
down
there.
They
said
they
were
open
to
the
idea.
If
we
put
vending
there,
they
really
like
the
idea
of
providing
tables
and
chairs
for
that
area
because
it
fit
in
with
their
their
outdoor
seating
plan
and
their
covered
plan.
G
So
so
they
did
like
the
idea,
but
I
don't
have
a
commitment
from
them
in
any
way
other
than
you
know
you
build
it.
We
might,
we
might
take
advantage
of
it,
so
I
actually
think
that
space
would
be
really
popular
and
and
because
there's
typically
ample
parking
in
that
area.
I
think
it
could
be
very
popular
for
people
who
live
outside
the
city
to
drive
in
and
find
vendors
in
that
space
on
a
saturday
at
for
lunch
and
park
on
president
street
and
visit
a
vendor
and
eat
in
the
park
there.
B
Sorry
one
last
thing
we're
good,
I'm
sure,
you're
aware,
remember,
katzis
and
I
know
the
city
administration
is
aware
that
these
aren't
the
spots
that
the
vendors
have
identified
as
where
they'd
like
to
move
to
so
just
be
prepared
for
that
criticism.
B
They
are
interested
in
the
mill
street
area
and
and
moving
because
of
all
of
the
students
heading
down
that
way,
and
I
understand
some
of
the
issues
with
putting
vendors
in
in
those
spots.
But
if
we're
painting
all
these
changes,
as
you
know,
improvements
for
the
vendors,
you
may
not
hear
that
from
the
vendors
just
preparing
you
for
that.
Thank
you.
F
Also,
to
make
very
clear
that
there's
the
vending
in
athens
has
always
been
in
the
b
zone.
You
know,
and
or
with
permission
of
a
business
owner
in
a
b
zone
to
be
able
to
to
vend
as
opposed
to
an
r3
or
any
r
neighborhood.
F
F
To
the
to
your
point
about
mill
street
or
anything
else,
sam,
I
remember
crawl.
That
mill
street
is
zoned
r3
by
and
large.
D
And
and
just
to
reiterate
something
that
the
mayor
has
said
in
the
past
and
correct
me:
if
I'm,
if
I'm,
if
I
don't
phrase
it
correctly,
a
vendor
can
establish
a
partnership
with
a
private
property
owner
and
set
up
anywhere
that
they
want
to
so
that
that
is
the
golden
opportunity.
If
they
find
that
workable
space.
D
Okay,
all
right,
one
last
time,
all
right,
we're
good!
Okay
on
to
the
next
point,
we're
halfway
through
here,
but
we
are
on
easy
street
from
here
on
out,
and
this
is
the
2021
street
paving
project,
no
pun
intended
there
project
number
337.
This
is
an
expenditure
request
of
300
000
for
our
annual
street
paving
program.
D
That's
250,
000
from
the
rehabilitation
fund,
50
000
from
the
street
fund.
I
know
that
everybody
always
asks
what
what
are
the
lists
of
streets
that
are
being
being
considered
and
and
paid
this
year.
That
list
is
still
being
finalized.
I
did
have
a
conversation
with
epw
head
jessica,
dyn
today
and
she
said
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
her.
D
D
D
Some
people
do
enjoy
winter,
and
so
engineering
is
thinking
forward
to
next
winter
and
participating
in
odot's
cooperative
purchasing
program
for
for
road
salt,
and
so
this
is
something
that
we
do
every
year.
This
allows
us
to
to
enter
into
an
agreement
and
purchase
at
a
lower
bulk
price,
with
with
other
municipalities,
and
this
once
again,
this
is
the
exact
same
ordinance
that
we
would
be
passing
every
year
and
just
in
conversation
with
jessica
dine
today,
I
kind
of
I
asked
her,
I
said:
well,
we
had
a.
D
We
had
an
unusual
winner
this
year,
not
like
what
we've
seen
in
the
last
four
or
five,
and
what
did
we
use
in
in
road
salt?
We
did.
We
did
2
000
tons
for
our
first
streets
and
and
other
paved
surfaces,
and
the
request
this
year
is
to
purchase
1200
tons.
So
we
didn't
go
through
our
our
full
amount.
I
know
that
we've
always
tried
to
keep
a
reserve,
and
even
at
this
point
where
the
the
request
doesn't
even
equal
what
what
we
use
in
a
year.
D
Okay,
with
that,
I
am
I'm
done
with
transportation.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you,
president
nicely,
and
to
return
to
a
popular
discussion
of
city
contracts
and
trash
cans,
and
this
one
member
reisner
will
be
very
happy
to
know.
We
are
on
top
of
the
schedule
and
we're
starting
the
this
discussion
early
in
terms
of
when
the
contract
with
big
belly
comes
up
for
renewal
and
that
that
contract
is
set
to
expire
in
september
of
this
year
september.
27
2021.
I
However,
if
we
as
a
city
do
not
wish
to
renew
that
contract,
we
must
notify
them
at
least
three
months
in
advance
of
our
desire
to
separate
from
big
belly,
and
so
our
city,
administration
and
director
of
code
enforcement
have
been
reviewing
the
data
provided
to
us
from
big
valley
and
and
also
looking
at
our
options.
I
So
there's
there's
a
document
on
the
the
shared
drive
that
everyone
is
please
review
at
your
leisure
that
has
quite
a
bit
of
information
in
terms
of
what
data
that
we
have
gotten
from
from
big
belly
and
the
information
that
I
think
is
really
valuable
to
us
as
a
city
to
know
like
where
which
trash
cans
are
are
being
utilized
the
most.
I
How
are
we
doing
as
a
city
as
far
as
diverting
into
recycling,
instead
of
simply
having
it
all
go
into
landfills,
and
so
what
the
city
administration
has
laid
out
a
few
options
for
us
to
consider
going
forward
and
one
there
is
the
straightforward
option
of
continuing
the
agreement
with
big
belly.
I
However,
that
is
a
fairly
costly
agreement.
It
costs
3822
dollars
per
month
or
forty
five
thousand
eight
hundred
sixty
four
a
year.
They
they
did
communicate
with
our
assistant,
ssd
andrew
chicky
today
that
that
they
will
upgrade
all
of
our
containers
to
a
foot
pedal
operation
at
no
cost.
Should
we
renew,
however,
just
the
the
cost
of
the
lease
agreement
and
the
contract
with
them
is
is
pretty
significant.
I
So
if
we
instead
decide
to
separate
from
big
belly,
then
there
will
be
other
cost,
of
course,
to
consider,
because
we
will
need
to
either
enter
into
an
agreement
with
a
different
entity
that
would
again
lease
us
containers
or
what
I
believe
the
city
administration,
and
I
personally
think
is
the
best
option-
is
to
outright
purchase
our
own
containers
and
install
them
using
the
data
from
recent
years.
I
As
far
as
making
sure
that
that
we
have
the
highest
concentration
in
areas
where
we
collect
the
most
litter,
and
so
the
other
thing
that
councils
should
be
aware
of
is,
should
we
separate
again
from
big
belly?
I
There
is
a
cost
associated
with
the
removal
of
the
big
belly
containers,
and
we
don't
know
yet
what
that
is,
because
it's
not
spelled
out
in
the
contract,
but
mr
chicky
has
been
working
with
them
and
will
communicate
to
us
as
soon
as
as
he
knows
what
the
exact
cost
is
and
then
the
container
that
seems
like
it
would
be
a
good
option
for
the
city
to
to
switch
to
is
a
container
that
is
1900
per
double
unit
and
we
would
want
to
purchase.
I
Let's
see
was
it
28
units
mayor
so
so
there
would
of
course,
be
the
cost
of
purchasing
those,
but
we
would
then
no
longer
have
that
monthly
fee
going
to
big
belly
and
the
document
that
was
prepared
by
andrew
chickie
and
david
riggs
spells
out
that
we
we
would
see
significant
savings
to
the
city
for
for
changing,
because,
depending
on
on
the
precise
containers,
we
go
with
it,
it
would
cost
in
the
initial
year
somewhere
50
to
55
000
as
opposed
to,
and
then
then,
after
that,
we
would
not
have
nearly
this
as
much
cost
for
oh
and
oh,
actually,
it's
less
less
than
that,
because
that
that
includes
an
additional
option.
I
I
was
misreading
my
my
chart,
but
we
we
could
see
significant
savings,
even
even
at
the
for
the
within
the
first
year
of
switching
to
purchasing
our
own
containers.
I
From
my
understanding,
I'm
not,
I
don't
believe,
and
I
we
have
sent
a
message
to
our
law
director
for
verification,
but
I
don't
believe
that
any
council
action
is
required
for
the
administration
to
notify
big
belly
of
the
decision
to
that.
We
are
not
going
to
renew
this
contract,
but
once
we
have
firm
numbers,
we
will
need
an
appropriation
for
the
purchase
of
new
containers
and
for
the
cost
of
removing
the
big
belly
containers.
J
J
I
think
long
term
that
will
save
the
committee,
the
city
and
the
taxpayers,
lots
and
lots
and
lots
of
money
and
that's
wonderful,
while
hopefully
still
keeping
our
streets
clean.
I
do
wonder
if
anyone
in
the
in
the
process
of
all
these
decisions
and
negotiations,
if
anyone
is
talking
to
the
athens
hawking
recycling
center,
about
what
kind
of
containers
would
be
the
best
for
their
crews
as
they
come
around
and
pick
up
the
materials,
and
I
hope
that
that's
happening.
I
The
I
asked
about
that
at
the
last
mayor
auditor
meeting
and
one
because
some
some
containers
that
are
sold
require
putting
bags
in
and
changing
bags
out,
so
that
would
definitely
change
the
risk,
the
job
for
the
the
haulers
and
the
collectors.
So
we
would
not
be
going
with
a
container
that
that
involves
that
we
would
go
with
something
that's
similar
to
the
big
belly
and
that
there's
a
a
solid
container
that
you
can
lift
out.
I
I
know
that
there
was
additional
discussion
that
perhaps
foremost
in
people's
minds
because
of
recent
events
uptown,
we
need
some
sturdy
containers.
I
We
want
these
to
to
be
solid,
not
easily
damaged
or
moved
about
containers,
and
so
the
ones
that
seem
seem
to
be.
The
top
choice
would
be
that
they're
they're,
a
solid
steel.
I
They
they
look
nice
but
solid,
and
they
they
also
have
locking
doors
so
that
it's
less
likely
things
will
be
removed
when
they
are
not
supposed
to
be
or
that
that
large
items
would
be
added
to
it.
Like
you
know,
household
bags
of
garbage,
so
I
think
that
mr
riggs
and
and
mr
chicky
have
been
very
thorough
in
review
of
of
the
options
for
us.
E
I'm
a
little
confused
and
concerned
about
this
item
about
we
pay
for
the
cost
of
removal
of
their
property
off
of
our
property.
I
mean
once
the
lease
is
gone
as
far
as
I'm
concerned-
they're
trespassing.
E
I
know
I'm
serious
about
this.
I
mean
I
I
just
can't
imagine.
E
D
E
It
seems
to
me
that
we'd
have
a
very
good
case
in
court.
Say
your
honor,
that's
their
junk!
It's
on
our
property.
We
don't
want
it
well.
Why
don't
they
take
it
away?
Well,
your
honor.
They
say
we
have
to
pay
to
take
it
away.
Well,
sir.
That
makes
no
sense
case
dismissed.
I
So
I,
but
I.
E
E
I
So
are
there
any
other
questions
or
chief
pyle
or
mayor
patterson?
Are
there
things
that
I
did
not
clearly
explain
that
should
be
added
to
this
mayor
patterson?
Please.
F
No,
you
cover
everything
very
well,
remember
grace,
because
there's
a
lot
to
digest
here
with
with
the
options
I
do
want
to
direct
council's
attention
to
one
thing
and
it's
in
what
the
deputy
service
safety
director
provided
for
all
of
you,
and
that
is
the
dashboard
that
shows
20
or
42.9
diversion
with
the
recycling
component.
F
You
know
you're
all
well
aware.
You
know.
Five
years
ago
we
had
no
recycling
pedestrian
recycling
on
court
street,
so
it's
being
used.
People
have
gotten
used
to
it.
Do
we
need
a
high-tech
trash
can
system
to
continue
to
reflect
that
to
us?
I
don't
think
so.
It
has
been.
F
I
believe
big
belly
has
been
a
great
asset
to
begin
with,
because
it's
given
us
actual
data
that
we
can
look
at
to
see.
How
are
we
doing-
and
I
think
behaviorally
everyone's
gotten
used
to
it
so
to
have
a
side-by-side
product
that
we
purchase
outright
and
have
on
court
street
with
recycling
and
refuses
is,
will
be
great
and
continue
to
be
used.
I
would
like
to
get
reports
from
hrc
to
continue
to
demonstrate
here's
how
much
we're
collecting
in
terms
of
recycling
coming
out
of
your
recycling
bins.
F
F
The
reason
it's
that
low
is
because
ahrc
is
coming
up.
You
know
with
much
greater
frequency
under
contract
and
emptying
them
anyway,
so
they're
emptying
them
well
before
they
indicate
as
being
red
red
means
that
the
the
bin
is
actually
full.
F
So
you
know,
with
the
current
contract
that
we
have
with
hrc
they'll,
continue
to
come
up
and
empty.
All
of
these,
I
believe
six
days
a
week,
certainly
at
least
five
days
a
week,
but
you
know
it's
been
a
great
learning
experience.
It's
been
great
to
get
this
data,
and
so
I
just
want
council
to
know
that.
I
think
that
we're
well
on
the
way
to
go
ahead
and
transition
into
a
different
system.
I
I
So
we
may
want
to
add
to
that
and
and
sort
of
hopefully
get
the
best
deal
possible,
but
to
improve
our
garbage
and
recycling
facilities
at
our
parks
so
that
we
don't
have
the
sheer
number
of
open
top
containers
at
parks
and
also
our
parks.
Many
of
them
don't
have
options
for
recycling.
I
So
to
that's
one
thing
that
I
think
would
be
worth
considering
just
mr
mayor
to
put
that
to
you
as
far
as
when
this
administration
comes
back
with
a
request
for
a
number
to
be
purchased
and
jeff
we're
doing
this
in
a
timely
manner,
at
least
so.
I
believe
that
if
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments
that
ends
the
big
belly
discussion
and
the
next
item
is
for
consideration
security
access
key
card
system,
so
this
is
to
improve
increase
safety
for
our
employees
and
our
city
systems
and
equipment.
I
As
far
as
I
know,
it's
it's
regular
keys
and
the
the
city
administration
would
would
like
to
go
with
a
security
card
access
system,
so
that
then
these
cards
could
be
distributed
to
employees
and
coded
here
on
site,
with
access
to
the
locations
that
that
each
and
each
individual
employee
should
have
access
to
so
whether
it's
our
water
treatment
plant
or
our
court
offices
or
the
mayor's
office,
the
employee's
id
or
access
cards,
rather
would
would
grant
them
access
only
to
the
appropriate
locations.
I
And
if
we
should
ever
have
an
event
where
we
someone
needs
to
be
terminated
and
if
there
could
possibly
be
hard
feelings
or
anything
that
access
could
be
immediately
terminated
on
their
card
just
through
by
by
deleting
the
access
for
that
and
without
the
complication
of
requiring
that
the
keys.
However,
whichever
keys
that
employee
may
have
be
returned
to
the
city,
and
so
that
is
something
that
that
was
discussed
last
week
at
the
the
mayor
auditor
meeting.
I
I
believe-
and
I
have
in
my
notes
that
we're
looking
at
an
estimate
of
150
to
200
000,
to
get
all
the
doors
and
and
the
system
and
the
key
cards
is,
is
that
accurate
mayor
and
is
there
additional
information?
F
You
know
it
also
from
a
security
standpoint
here
in
the
city
of
athens,
with
all
of
our
all
the
locks,
the
lock
sets
that
we
have
in
the
city.
It
also
allows
us
to
you
know
either
semi-annual
or
annually
redo
the
the
codes
for
those
doors
with
the
card
swipes.
If
we
chose
to
you
know
it's
just
good
security
practice
to
stay.
On
top
of
that,
you
know
we.
F
We
have
a
very
antiquated
key
system,
actual
physical
key
system
here
in
the
city,
and
it's
it's
time
that
we
transition
to
a
different
way
of
securing
our.
H
F
G
The
the
the
rough
estimate-
we
don't
have,
the
actual
quote
yet,
but
the
rough
estimate
from
the
vendor,
who
is
on
power
purchasing
program,
and
so
we
don't
would
not
require
a
bid
process.
G
The
ref
estimate
was
between
150
and
200
000
for
91
of
the
doors
that
are
those
are
the
main
entrance
doors
and
security
doors
around
each
of
the
physical
plants
in
the
city,
and
I'm
not
clear
if
that
includes
some
of
the
replacement
doors
that
we
want
for
the
older
buildings.
For
instance,
we
would
like
to
replace
some
of
the
doors
in
city
hall,
with
energy
efficiencies,
energy
efficient
doors,
which
is
also
necessitated
because
of
the
wiring
that
has
to
be
retrofitted
into
a
system
like
this.
G
So
I'm
not
clear
if
that
that
rough
estimate
includes
the
replacement
of
those
doors
or
not,
but
but
we
can
put
it
all
together.
The
the
intended
pot
of
money
for
this
was
going
to
be
the
bwc
fund,
that's
already
appropriated,
I
believe,
and
ready
for
use,
and
we
thought
that
the
system
was
definitely
a
health
safety
issue
that
was
justify
the
expenditure
of
that
pot
of
money.
I
I
I
agree,
I
think
this
definitely
improves
safety
and
security
of
employees
and
and
physical
assets.
So
are
there
questions
yeah
member
councils.
D
Yes,
and
and
this
this
might
be
directed
at
at
ssd,
captain
pyle-
is
it
just
the
main
doors
like?
I
assume
you
know
I
you
know
like
hr,
has
a
lock
on
their
door.
Would
it
be
replacing
the
locks
on
on
office
doors
that
that
that
also
that
currently
have
them
yeah.
G
So,
while
they
looked
at
some
internal
doors,
high
priority
internal
doors,
security
doors,
for
instance,
the
evidence
room
and
the
police
department
would
be
one
such
door.
That
kind
of
thing
they
did
include
some
of
those.
But
the
majority
of
the
91
doors
are
the
external
access
doors
to
the
the
main
buildings
and
some
of
the
back
doors
and
things
like
that.
The
frequently
used
doors
and
would
not
initially
include
the
many
many
in
internal
doors
within
an
office.
E
G
Well
again,
that's
that's
a
room,
that's
inside
one
of
the
main
offices,
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
included
or
not
but
could
be
if
we
considered
it
a
high
security
access
door.
I
would.
A
B
B
However,
we
obviously
haven't
been
in
our
space
for
for
a
year
or
almost
a
year,
so
we're
not
aware
exactly
what's
going
on
in
the
city
building,
but
those
that
are
in
the
city
building
report
that
our
roof
is
doing
some
fairly
nasty
leaking,
and
not
only
is
there
some,
you
know
danger
to
the
structure
of
the
building,
but
some
of
the
leaks
are
right,
above
some
of
our
technology,
our
cameras
etc
within
the
city
council's
chambers.
B
So
unless
the
administration
has
any
kind
of
update
on
any
estimates
for
this
repair,
I
think
this
is
really
a
preliminary
discussion
and
giving
council
a
heads
up
that
we're
probably
looking
at
a
rather
expensive
but
necessary,
deferred
maintenance
item
on
the
city
hall,
roof.
B
F
F
It
would
be
two
to
three
times
that,
due
to
the
process
of
getting
it
up
there,
so
we
are
looking
at
at
several
options,
but
this
is
a
this
is
a
critical
there's,
a
critical
need
to
this.
We
need
to
get
that
roof
repaired
for
our
historic
city
hall
building
as
well
as
you
just
mentioned,
it's
there's
some
very
expensive
assets
that
are
in
council
chambers,
with
our
government
channel
cameras
that
are
right
below
where
some
of
this
leaking
is
taking
place.
F
F
You
know
there
may
be
some
structural
repairs
needed
underneath
with
the
actual
plywood
roofing
some
of
the
materials
and-
and
we
all
know
that
that
building
you
know,
construction
materials
right
now
are
much
more
expensive
than
they
were
pre-pandemic,
but
it
is
what
it
is
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
we
really
button
down
this
building.
B
D
Yes,
thank
you,
member
crowl,
just
just
out
of
curiosity,
because
you
know
I
always
hear
you
know
the
shingles
have
a
50-year
life.
Do
we
know
what
the
age
of
this
roof
is?
F
I
I
don't
know,
remember
crowell
mis,
member
costas,
I
I
I
can
we
can
try
to
find
out.
F
You
know
what
the
current,
what
the
current
age
is
of
our
our
roof
and
also,
I
forgot
to
add,
because
I
was
asking
the
deputy
service
safety
director-
who's
actually
been
up
in
the
void
between
city
hall
and
and
the
roof
that
area
as
to
whether
there's
some
other
things
that
we
might
be
able
to
do
to
further
insulate
this
building,
and
he
had
indicated
that
there's
a
possibility
that
we
could
blow
in
some
insulation
up
there
to
give
us
a
better
r
value
for
keeping
the
rest
of
the
building.
B
Okay,
any
other
comments.
Oh
no,
okay!
Thank
you.
We
will
move
on
now
to
the
next
item,
which
is
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
mechanic.
This
is
a
position
that
is
vacant.
It
was
made
vacant
when
there
was
a
transfer
within
the
city
from
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
to
the
city
garage
doing
their
due
diligence
city
administration
working
with
the
manager
of
the
wastewater
pavement
plant,
which
needs
this
position
filled,
wants
to
have
this
position
filled.
B
This
has
been
vacant
since
december,
and
the
city
administration
supports
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
manager
in
requesting
that
this
position
be
filled.
Are
there
any
questions?
Yes,
mr
pyle,
would
you
like
to
comment.
G
Just
just
real
quick
I've
had
a
couple
conversations
with
the
hr
director
now
and
we're
well
aware
that,
just
like
with
the
vacancy
of
this
position,
it
was
vacated
for
that
current
city
employee,
to
move
to
another
city
position
that
was
vacated.
G
It's
likely
that
this
position
will
also
be
filled
with
internal
candidates
and
the
positions
that
that
are
vacated
from
those
from
that
candidate
will
be
filled
and
there's
a
domino
or
trickle-down
effect.
I
I
would
like
counsel
to
authorize
us
if
that's,
if
that's
the
appropriate
request
to
to
go
ahead
and
fill
those
positions
until
we
get
to
a
position
where
we
know
we
have
to
test
and
hire
in
a
new
position.
G
If
you
follow
me,
if
we
fill
this
position
with
another
city,
employee
we'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
fill
that
position
and
that
position
is
filled
by
a
current
city
employee.
You
know
until
we
get
to
a
point
where
we
need
to
hire
from
outside
and
it
would
be
an
additional
cost
to
the
city
and
then
come
back
to
council
and
seek
approval
to
fill
the
position
with
a
new
test
and
an
outside
applicant.
B
I
appreciate
the
the
the
point
chief
pyle
and
I
I
think
and
and
anyone
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong-
I've
been
wrong
before
and
I
will
be
wrong
again.
The
council
does
not
need
to
approve
this
the
we
we
simply
requested
that
the
city
administration
pass
on
vacancies
to
us
for
review,
but
we
are
not
in
a
position
of
approving
these
things.
B
J
Yeah,
I
it's
good
to
know
that,
in
fact,
we
aren't
going
to
be
approving
or
disapproving
this,
but
I
think
it's
what
you
just
described-
city
safety
services,
director
pyle,
is
a
good
idea
to
just
to
keep
morale
up
in
an
enterprise
I
think
promoting
from
within
is
is
a
good
choice
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
that.
That's
your
plan
moving
forward.
G
Yeah
yeah,
just
today,
they
selected
two
candidates
for
two
other
positions
that
we
had
previously
brought
to
council
and
those
two
were
also
filled
by
current
city
employees
in
other
divisions,
and
so
you
know,
there's
likely
three
or
four
of
those
positions
moving
around,
and
so
it
just
makes
sense
to
us
to
go
ahead
and
fill
until
we
get
to
a
point
where
we
are
seeking
outside
and
new
position
to
fill
a
vacancy.
B
C
Member
fall.
Thank
you.
I
think
it
should
also
be
understood
that
these
employees
that
are
within
going
through
this
process,
we
have
a
lot
of
money
invested
in
these
employees.
You
know
they've
been
part
of
training,
they
are
integrated
into
all
the
systems,
they
know
how
the
city
works,
and
so
that
allows
for
quicker
training
for
specific
roles
and
stuff,
and
it
gets
the
employee
back
up
and
running
at
efficiency,
which
is
something
that
we
are
we
care
about.
So
thank
you.
B
B
Both
of
these
issues
are
really
sort
of
oversights
and
corrections.
The
first
one
is
the
athens
arts
parks
and
recreation
programs,
operation
manager.
Council,
you
may
recall
we
re,
we
approved
a
realignment
at
apr
and
a
employee.
There
was
promoted
from
their
previous
position
to
that
of
the
program
operations
manager
in
in
that
promotion.
B
B
B
B
E
So
let
me
get
this
straight.
The
employee
has
already
received
a
five
percent,
raise
correct,
correct
and
we
want
to
now
give
them
another
five
percent
raise
on
this
new
base.
Salary.
G
Yeah,
it's
it's
it's!
Actually
it
would
be
the
way
we
I've
written
the
order
with
debbie
with
the
ordinance,
I'm
sorry
clerk,
council
clerk,
debbie
walker
helped
me
write
the
ordinance
and
we
we
made
that
very
specific
to
her
10
to
her
previous
salary,
not
her
current
salary,
which
includes
5
right,
so
so
it
would
be
10
of
the
pay
grade.
6
salary,
retroactive
to
january
1st,
of
which
she's
already
received
five
percent
of
that
pay.
Up
to
this
point,
okay,.
B
I
Not
a
question
just
very
quickly
kudos
and
I
I
appreciate
the
acknowledgement
and
recognition
of
the
gender
pay
equity,
but
that's
very
important.
So
I'm
I'm
glad
that
that
is
not
being
lost.
B
Instead
of
a
10
bonus
such
as
chief
pyle's
interim
rate
was
set,
and
the
end
result
was
this
was
that
in
january
the
interim
director
of
epw,
who
was
also
still
the
assistant
director
of
epw
and
the
assistant
engineer,
did
not
get
her
two
percent
increase
in
in
january,
and
that
was
not
the
city
administration,
nor,
I
believe
council's
intention,
and
so
in
order
to
correct
this,
we
would
like
the
director
of
epw
to
receive
her
normal.
Two
percent
pay
raise
for
her
assistant,
engineer,
pay
rate.
B
So
this
is
also
a
little
fix
on
the
ordinance
so
that
it
reads
that
there's
a
ten
percent
pay
bonus
for
that
interim
position.
Instead
of
a
fixed
amount
and
again
much
like
the
position
we
just
discussed,
this
would
be
retroactive
to
the
date
from
which
she
would
have
been
eligible
to
receive
that
two
percent
pay
increase,
which
I
believe
is
january
1st.
A
C
C
C
Okay,
so
I
can't
get
to
my
enlarge
button,
but
there
I
go
should
have
practiced
this
sooner
right.
Okay,
zoom
jeff,
help
help
me
what.
B
H
You
hit
the
present
button
next
and
the
upper
right.
Yes,
okay,
okay,.
C
Okay,
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
all
the
different
types
of
downtown
redevelopment
zones,
tiffs
puds,
sids
and
everything.
So
I
think
that
it
will
help
people
to
understand
the
decisions
that
we're
coming
to
if
these
are
more
developed
in
people's
mind.
C
So,
as
we
know,
there's
lots
and
lots
and
lots
of
people
who
can
influence
development
in
athens
itself.
It
can
be
outside
players,
it
could
be
state,
it
could
be
federal,
it
could
be
just
everybody,
so
it's
a
very
complicated
system
and
it
has
a
lot
of
different
programs
and
stuff
that
are
appropriate
for
athens
and
not.
C
I
want
to
especially
talk
about
this
in
relation
to
housing
development,
because
one
of
the
tools
that
we
will
be
talking
about
later
in
the
in
april
is
deals
with
some
of
the
affordable
housing
commission
recommendations
and
the
affordable
housing
commission,
which
was
set
up
by
the
city
council
in
2017,
came
out
of
a
larger
study
that
the
university
the
city
did
on
housing
issues.
C
Their
responsibility
is
to
review
and
make
recommendations
to
the
city,
athens,
city,
government,
on
policies
and
procedures
related
to
housing
issues
and
they
use
affordable
housing.
Much
like
sister
commissions
and
committees
and
other
similar
cities
and
towns,
which
is
125
to
250.,
they
are
also
charged
with
including
different
types
of
of
housing
opportunities
and
increasing
the
diversity
in
the
housing
stock
that
we
have
in
athens.
We
know
that
it's
an
issue
with
train
with
retention
of
employees
and
getting
new
jobs
and
stuff
to
move
to
athens
because
of
our
housing
challenges.
C
So
the
development
is
also
inclusive
from
starter
homes,
to
retirement
mobility,
challenges
and
to
low
income,
so
they're,
looking
at
all
these
sort
of
challenges
and
opportunities
for
the
city
in
relation
to
those
sort
of
goals
and
housing
for
people
who
otherwise
can't
afford
housing
homelessness
under
homes,
those
sort
of
things.
C
We
get
to
plan
because
I'm
a
planner,
so
we
get
to
plan
plan
plan.
The
city
has
several
plans
that
look
in
in
just
intimately
at
housing
and
the
issues
surrounding
all
the
levels
of
housing,
from
starter
homes,
to
affordable
housing
to
temporary
housing
for
homeless.
C
We
also
adopted
2021
the
athens
comprehensive
plan
that
goes
into
this
at
a
neighborhood
level
and
then
also
because
of
the
dr
that
are
the
downtown
redevelopment
district
requirements
from
the
state.
We
also
have
ohio
downtown
redevelopment
district
plan,
so
so
what
these
are
is
we've
identified
through
all
those
planning
processes
and
the
stuff.
That's
come
down
from
the
city
and
the
state,
several
tools
that
really
work
and
for
for
the
city
versus
annexation,
changing
zoning.
C
If
you
look
at
the
comprehensive
plan,
they
suggest
certain
types
of
zoning
changes
in
certain
areas
of
the
city.
We've
done
that
with
uptown
zoning
changes
in
the
last
two
years,
cdbg,
which
is
the
community
development
block,
grant
and
other
grants
that
the
city
is
quite
successful
at
getting
and
state
development
tools.
So
I'm
going
to
talk
about
some
of
these
annexation.
C
People
want
to
annex
because
then
they
have
access
to
city
infrastructure,
but
it's
a
very
long
process
and
involves
not
only
the
city
council,
the
planning
commission,
the
county
commissioners
township
trustees,
and
it
has
public
hearings
at
each
level,
and
so
it
has
a
lot
of
public
transparency
and
scrutiny,
and
it
takes
a
bit
of
time
because
every
one
of
those
levels
have
certain
types
of
time
that
you
have
to
wait
for
the
public
hearing.
C
We've
done
that
with
with
wota
down
on
lurid
road.
That
is
a
load,
moderate
income
development
that
will
be
going
in.
We
annexed
that
we've
we
passed
that
in
the
net
last
year,
downtown
redevelopment
districts.
This
is
something
that
we
talked
about
tonight.
C
It's
a
relatively
new
tool
for
the
city
to
use-
and
one
thing-
that's
really
great-
is
centers
on
a
historic
building
or
district.
A
lot
of
tools
that
we
get
for
redevelopment
ignores
historic
buildings
and
that
can
cause
problems
because
an
ignored
historic
building
is
a
falling
apart.
Historic
building,
they're
limited
to
10
acres,
they
have
a
10-year
time
limit
and
they
have
businesses
and
mixed
uses
that
can
come
out
of
it.
C
C
What
you're
doing
is
building
investment
and
what
happens
is
you
get
an
increase
in
building
value
because
you
are
doing
infrastructure
development
people
are
upgrading
their
house,
their
businesses,
their
buildings
that
increase
the
property
tax,
because
the
amount
of
property
value
goes
up,
the
increase
in
building
value,
seventy
percent
of
the
property
tax?
That's
that
increase
goes
to
the
downtown
redevelopment
district
and
it's
for
the
downtown
redevelopment
uses
of
funds.
C
So
if
you
look
at
the
piggy
banks,
the
one
that's
the
big
one-
that's
the
city
and
the
smaller
one
is
the
downtown
redevelopment
they
get
to
keep
70
of
the
new
property
tax
and
the
city
gets
the
thirty
percent,
along
with
the
other
tax
users,
county
and
school.
C
The
the
drd
is
a
powerful
tool.
It's
well
in
the
very
beginning,
even
without
any
of
the
appreciation
happening
in
that
drd
well,
grants
to
owners
of
the
historically
designated
building
could
be
given
for
rehabilitation
of
those
buildings.
C
And
then,
as
the
drd
increases
in
value,
you
will
have
loans
that
can
be
put
towards
building
for
rehabilitation
of
other
buildings.
You
have
investment
in
public
infrastructure
and
there's
money
that
goes
to
contribute
to
making
sure
that
the
drd
is
an
economic
development
tool
and
then
one
of
the
things
that
this
didn't
have
was
in
certain
instances
we
get
redevelopment
charges
that
can
be
charged
on
other
users
in
the
redevelopment
zone
and
that
can
be
levied
on
tax
exempt
parcels.
C
So
historic,
maybe
a
parcel
in
one
of
the
zones
is
a
university
parcel.
The
redevelopment
charges
can
capture
some
of
that
money
that
they
are,
that
they
wouldn't
otherwise
not
be
paying
to
the
city.
So
this
is
a
really
good,
plus
plus
of
this
tool,
and
then
I'm
going
to
end
here
with
this
one.
This
is
the
best
thing
that
I've
ever
seen
to
talk
about
tips,
we're
going
to
give
come
forward
with
a
residential
tiff
out
in
university
estates.
C
So
the
tip
here
when
you
think
about
east
state
street,
you
have
your
base,
you
you
have
your
base
value
of
all
the
businesses
or
the
land,
and
the
taxes
continue
to
be
going
to
all
the
taxing
people
in
the
project
area,
and
this
is
looking
over
30
years,
because
tiffs
are
for
30
years
any
increase
in
the
taxes
that
are
brought
in
because
of
the
increase
in
the
value
of
that
land
goes
into
that
tiff
authority.
C
It's
that
smaller
piggy
bank,
when
we
were
looking
at
the
big
and
smaller
piggy
banks,
and
that
occurs
over
30
years
now.
One
of
the
big
one
of
the
really
good
things
about
tiff
is
that
this
increase
in
value
that
goes
to
pay
for
redevelopment
or
paving
can
pay
for
infrastructure
that's
put
in
from
the
very
very
beginning.
So
it
helps
to
kind
of
give
a
boost
to
any
sort
of
development
that
might
be
going
on
there
after
30
years.
All
the
taxes
are
going
into
the
general
fund
for
that
development.
C
It's
now
part
of
just
regular
city.
So
if
anybody
has
any
questions
or
anything.
B
C
I
questions
okay,
jeff.
E
Yeah
concerning
the
the
taxes
that
are
going
into
say
that
the
tiff,
the
the
city's
tax
base
is
based
upon
income
taxes.
You
know
personal
and
business,
we
don't
levy
a
property
tax.
We
do
get
some
property
tax
from
the
county
indirectly,
but
I
don't
see
how
an
increase
in
property
tax
taxes
is
benefiting
the
city
directly.
E
Now
we
could
argue
that,
well,
the
homes
are
being
filled
by
people
who
will
generate
personal
income
and
they'll
pay
taxes
on
that.
But
the
city
who
is,
I
assume,
as
in
the
case
for
university
of
states,
has
to
put
money
up
front
for
infrastructure,
the
streets
and
so
on.
How
are
we
getting
paid
back
mayor.
F
F
The
remittance
coming
from
the
increase
in
property,
valuations
started
coming
in
2004,
remember
eisner,
and
it
was
100
capture.
That's
a
traditional
tiff
30-year
tif,
which
that
tiff
will
sunset
in
2030,
after
which
time
everyone
who
is
entitled
to
their
distribution
of
the
property
tax,
which
you're
correct
that's
county.
F
They
will
be
made
whole
by
2030,
because
that
will
go
away
and
and
and
then
like.
I
said,
everyone
is
made
whole
with
the
neighborhood
tiff.
It's
the
same
process
once
that
tif
is
established
and
it
will
take
a
year
or
two
to
then
start
collecting
that
re
assessed
properties
as
as
properties
are
developed
and
now
there's
a
home
on
it,
which
was
otherwise
a
green
space.
F
Again,
the
county
will
remit
that
70
percent
to
the
city
into
that
drd
and
I'm
not
geared
into
that
tif
and
what
we
can
do
is
use
that
money
to
reimburse
a
general
contractor
who
has
had
to
put
in
the
infrastructure
by
city
guidelines
for
street
sewer
water
storm
that
if,
if
we
didn't
have
a
program
like
this
and
that's
what
we're
experiencing
here
in
the
city
of
athens,
puds
that
are
ready
but
they're
green
space
and
there's
no
road.
There's
no
water,
there's
no
sewer.
F
They
are
close
to
access
to
those
I.e
university
boulevard,
but
the
the
infrastructure
is
not
there.
And
so
this
is
a
tool.
That's
that
can
be
used
to
incentivize
a
developer
to
put
in
the
infrastructure
necessary
in
which
to
also
build
the
homes
that
would
would
be
for
sale.
And
so
we
can
use
that
money
as
again
as
it's
collected,
which
is
70,
and
we
can
use
that
to
reimburse
for
having
to
build
the
road
infrastructure.
I
Yeah,
I
just
think
it's
very
important
to
be
clear
on
this,
that
the
developer
for
a
residential
tiff,
the
developer,
put,
puts
the
money
into
an
upfront.
They
are
the
ones
who
paid
for
putting
the
sewer
the
streets,
those
things
in
and
then
so
that
the
city
is
not
paying
that
money
up
front
and
it
is
being
paid
by
the
developer.
F
C
I
think
that
it's
important
to
point
that
out
too,
because
when
you're
looking
at
this
particular
tif,
this
residential
one,
it's
becau,
because
it
fulfills
parts
of
our
comprehensive
plan
and
parts
of
our
other
adopted
plans
that
that
it
makes
that
that's
why
this
is
is
being
used
as
a
tool.
It
also,
I
think,
is
for
these
tools
to
look
at
what
wouldn't
be
there.
If
the
tool
wasn't
used,
there
would
be
very
little
property
tax
being
developed
coming
in
at
all,
for
particular,
especially
up
in
the
university
of
states.
E
Just
one
more
does
this:
does
the
tip
require
county
approval.
D
F
No,
no,
it
doesn't
require
a
vote
from
the
school
board
either
because
it
it
sunsets
after
10
years.
F
It's
a
10-year
tif,
as
opposed
to
a
traditional
tif,
where
you
do
have
to
go
through
that
process
where
you've
got
to
have
the
school
district
or
districts
approval
of
having
a
traditional
tiff
go
through,
which
is
what
we
did
back
in
2001.
Well,
not
me!
I
wasn't
on
council
or.
I
Or
for
the
school
districts
or
the
county
for
the
entities
that
do
collect
that
property
tax,
they
they
of
course
continue
to
collect
the
same
amount
that
they're
they're,
currently
collecting,
they're,
collecting
pre-development
and
then
after
the
tif
sun
sunsets.
I
Not
only
are
the
contractors
having
to
build
roads
and
sewers
to
city
specifications,
but
we're
also
negotiating
specific
sustainability
and
environmental
standards
and
the
universal
design
standards,
and
so
and
and
that's
not
something
that
the
builders
will
will
be
able
to
to
use
the
tiff
for,
but
it
because
it
only
goes
for
the
specific
infrastructure
that's
approved,
but
by
this
back
and
forth,
working
with
someone
where
the
city
is
gaining
housing
that
that
fulfills
a
need
for
the
city.
I
It's
been
identified
for
years
that
that
we
need
more
universal
design,
homes
and
more
homes
that
are
are
built
to
new
energy
efficiency
standards.
And
this
is,
I,
I
think
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
really
great
thing
for
the
city
to
utilize,
this,
this
specific
tool
to
increase
the
availability
of
housing
for
for
our
residents.
C
Right
and
I
I
think
it
should
be
pointed
out
using
the
the
three
major
tools
that
we
talked
about
tonight-
is
that
there's
there'll
be
close
to
150
needed
types
of
homes
being
developed
over
the
next
two
years,
and
I
you
know,
I
think
that
that's
because
the
administration
has
been
pretty
aggressive
using
these
new
tools.
Planner
call
is
amazing,
because
he's
just
like
being
able
to
identify
the
things
that
we
need
to
do,
and
so
I'm
so
I
think
it's
thank
you
to
be
able
to
go
through
with
these
mayor.
Go
ahead.
F
Yeah,
I
I
I
think
it's
important
just
to
again
reiterate
that
it
is
a
70
30.
You
know
tiff
for
these
neighborhood
redevelopment
tiffs
and
therefore,
if
it's
a
parcel
of
land
that
was
only
collecting
property
tax
on
it
by
whoever
owns
it,
and
now
it
becomes
a
property
with
a
home
on
it
as
well
that
valuation
is
going
to
increase
significantly,
which
means
even
the
30
share
that
is
going
to
go
to
the
county,
to
the
township
to
the
school
district
that
it's
likely
going
to
increase
anyway.
F
So
it's
in
a
lot
of
ways,
it's
win-win
for
everyone
in
terms
of
of
a
development
tool,
so
as
opposed
to
the
100
capture
under
a
traditional
tiff
to
where
the
base
goes
to
the
county.
The
school
district
in
the
township,
the
the
100
percent
over
time
goes
into
the
tiff
that
sold
for
east
state
street
improvements.
So
it's
very
different
with
a
70
30
versus
100.
C
Any
other
questions
great
well.
Thank
you.
If
you
have
any
comments
on
how
I
can
help
my
slides,
you
know,
so
that's
the
end
of
the
development
planning.
Okay,
thanks.
