Athens City Council - June 7, 2021

Great,
thank
you.
I'm
also
getting
that
warning
of
unstability
so
mind.
If
I
don't.
This
is
something
that
the
law
director
has
been
working
a
lot
on.
It's
a
right-of-way
easement
for
aep
to
be
able
to
complete
one
of
their
projects,
one
of
their
line
projects.
These
are
supplemental
to
the
original
discussion.
C
D
E
F
D
D
D
D
This
would
allow
us
to
expand
that
on
avon
and
euclid,
with,
hopefully,
four
more,
as
you
just
indicated,
remember
crowl,
which
is
I'm
glad
that
you
did,
is
that
the
the
true
length
of
those
streets
is
north
to
south
and
so
mid
block.
There
is
little
to
no
lighting,
because
the
lighting
grid
runs
east
west,
as
remember
krell
just
indicated.
So
this
will
allow
us
to
expand
that
by
a
couple
more
streets,
which
is,
I
believe,
a
great
project.
F
F
Seeing
none
I'll
move
on
to
the
second
appropriation,
which
is,
we
have
been
receiving
tax
payments
for
the
downtown
redevelopment
district,
the
drd
and
we
realized.
We
now
need
to
add
the
administrative
fees
that
are
necessary
for
that
they
are
not
very
much
and
the
appropriation,
the
request
is
to
add
five
dollars
to
fund
596
transaction
code.
300.,
I
will
repeat:
that's
five
dollars
any
questions
on
the
drd.
D
I
just
have
a
couple
items
to
share
with
council
and
the
viewing
audience
tonight
president
nicely
number
one.
I
just
received
this
today.
It's
a
letter
from
the
ohio
housing
finance
agency
and
it's
a
letter
indicating
that
the
ohio
housing
finance
agency
has
granted
an
award
of
2021
housing
credits
to
an
affordable
housing
development
which
is
crenshaw
green.
So
this
is
great
news
that
they
were
able
to
get
that
for
that
110.
D
I
believe
it
is
a
unit
project
as
they
move
forward.
So
I
wanted
to
share
that.
The
other
thing
to
share
with
council
is
that,
this
afternoon,
from
1
30
to
3
o'clock,
there
was
myself
and
eight
other
mayors
that
met
with
governor
dewine
for
an
hour
and
a
half
to
discuss,
needs
and
that
we
see
in
southeastern
ohio
well
actually
around
the
state.
It
was
mayors,
representing
cities
similar
in
size
to
athens.
D
D
My
question
was:
can
that
grant
also
be
used
for
data
storage,
which
is
a
significant
amount
of
money?
And
after
doing
a
little
research?
The
governor
indicated
that,
yes,
that
granting
mechanism
can
be
used
for
storage
of
your
bwc
footage.
So
that
was
great
news,
because
that's
probably
one
of
the
larger
expenses
with
our
body
worn
cameras
which
are
vital.
Our
police
department
really
likes
having
bwc's
when
they're
having
to
respond.
D
E
A
G
Fine
I'll
be
quick.
I've
never
had
that
happen
before,
but
I
don't
know
too
hot
out
there
or
something
anyway.
I
just
wanted
to
let
everyone
know,
because
the
audit,
while
the
majority
of
the
work,
is
done
in
my
office
and
we
are
the
contact
for
the
honor
of
state.
We
rely
on
every
other
department
in
the
city
to
provide
their
information
and
reports,
and
so
we
didn't
have
a
management
letter
which
is
kind
of
a
big
deal,
but
we
also
got
our
award
again
this
year.
G
Here's
my
certificate,
I
don't
know
if
I've
had
maybe
10
or
12
of
these
out
of
this
17
years,
but
I
did
one
thing.
I
found
out
this
time
that
I
just
wanted
to
comment
on
because,
as
I
said,
it
is
a
group
effort
and
everybody
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
do
and
what
I
tell
them.
They
can
do
and
can't
do
anyway.
Only
ten
percent
of
the
people
audited
by
the
state
get
this
award.
G
A
Thank
you,
auditor
hecht
and,
as
you
say,
all
the
departments
that
help
contribute
to
that
make
it
happen.
Yeah
we
couldn't
do
it
alone
all
right.
Thank
you.
We'll
move
on
now
to
ordinances
for
third
reading
ordinance.
6221
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
mayor
to
enter
into
a
10-year
lease
agreement
with
the
united
seniors
of
athens
county
for
space
utilization
in
the
community
center,
and
this
is
introduced
by
council
member
crowl.
F
A
D
F
E
A
Okay,
any
comments
or
questions
from
our
attendees,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
signify.
By
saying
I
I
I
opposed
nay
motion,
curious
and
the
ordinance
is
approved
ordinance.
64
21
is
an
ordinance
amending.
The
internal
service
fund
cost
allocation
policy
established
by
ordinance,
124
15..
This
is
introduced
by
council
member
carl.
F
E
A
A
F
F
F
A
F
Typo,
essentially,
there's
no
changes
to
the
the
pertinent
information
in
this
ordinance,
but
we
did
have
the
name
of
the
group
incorrect
previously,
and
this
is
to
be
understood
understandable,
as
we
had
a
previous
group
of
kawasaki
riders.
They
ride
vulcan
cruising
motorcycles
and
they
came
a
few
years
ago
and
enjoyed
city,
restaurants
and
hotels
and
held
their
annual
meeting
here
in
athens,
and
we
closed
a
portion
of
union
street
on
one
day
for
them
to
be
able
to
all
pull
in
together
and
enjoy
uptown
athens.
F
We
repeated
the
name
of
that
association,
the
vulcan
riders
in
this
ordinance-
and
in
fact
this
is
a
different
group
which
actually
makes
me
really
pleased
to
know
that
there
are
many
groups
that
are
coming
to
this
area.
Thanks
to
the
athens
county
convention,
visitors
bureau
work
to
promote
our
windy:
nine,
our
scenic
roadways
that
motorcycle
enthusiasts
like
to
enjoy
and
using
athens
as
a
base.
F
So
this
year
they
they
are
coming
and
staying
at
the
ohio,
university
inn
and
other
local
establishments
and
going
to
our
restaurants
and-
and
I
believe,
they're
going
on
the
hocking
valley,
scenic
railway
and
having
a
parade
in
athens.
So
this
is
the
valkyrie
riders
cruisers
club,
and
this
little
portion
from
union
to
college
is
simply
closing
that
for
them
so
that
they
can
park
their
motorcycles
in
mass.
A
A
Any
comments
or
questions
from
our
attendees
see
none
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye,
aye
no
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
Ordinance
6821
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
mayor
to
enter
into
a
sub-recipient
contract
with
ohio
university,
authorizing
the
expenditure
to
implement
wastewater
based,
covet
19
surveillance
program
and
declaring
an
emergency.
This
is
introduced
by
council
member
grace.
B
You
members
medley:
this
ordinance
allows
the
the
city
to
partner
with
university
in
spending
grant
dollars
to
help
us
with
future
monitoring
of
our
wastewater
system
for
potential
viral
outbreaks,
specifically
coveted
19,
but
in
the
future.
We
may
also
be
able
to
use
this
for
other
things
that
that
may
happen
in
the
city
for
other
infectious
disease
detections.
B
A
E
B
From
council
member
fall,
thank
you.
Member
fall,
and
this
ordinance
does
very
much
exactly
what
the
title
states.
It
authorizes
our
service
safety
director
to
enter
into
a
contract
for
design
engineering
services
for
the
water
treatment,
plant,
softener
rehabilitation
project,
and
this
is
a
project
that
has
been
needed
for
a
little
while
and
was
put
on
hold
and
the
design
engineering
authorization
is
to
expend
up
to
50
000
for
this
project.
A
And
council
members
might
note
that
before
reading
this
ordinance
that
earlier
in
the
evening
I
had
said
we
might
need
to
amend,
suspend
and
approve
we're
only
needing
to
amend
the
next
ordinance
tonight.
Council.
Member
grace,
there's
no
need
to
suspend
tonight.
Clerk
of
council
has
told
us
ordinance.
7021
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
disposal
of
certain
fire
equipment,
no
longer
needed
for
a
municipal
purpose
introduced
by
council
member
grace.
B
And
this
amendment
is
just
to
make
sure
that
our
ordinance
complies
with
and
matches
our
our
city
rules
for
donating
equipment
and
so
section
two
of
the
ordinance
currently
reads.
The
service
safety
director
is
hereby
authorized
to
dispose
of
said
equipment
by
donating
it
to
the
waterloo,
volunteer
fire
department,
we're
not
under
our
rules
allowed
to
specify
to
whom
we're
donating
it
at
the
outset
of
the
process.
So
it
will
be
removing
the
language
donating
it
to
the
waterloo,
volunteer
fire
department
and
replacing
that
with
simply
donations,
so
dispose
of
said
equipment
by
donation.
B
A
You,
okay
thanks
yeah
and
auditor
heck
thanks
for
alerting
us
to
the
to
the
process,
making
sure
we're
following
the
correct
policy
that
we've
set
up.
Thank
you.
So
we
have
a
motion
and
second
for
amending
this
ordinance.
Is
there
any
discussion,
any
questions
or
comments
from
council
members
elected
officials,
our
attendees?
A
Okay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
has
been
amended
and
read
for
the
first
time,
we'll
now
move
on
to
ordinance
71-21.
This
is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
title
1,
general
provisions
to
add
title
45
fees
to
include
a
fee
for
an
historic
preservation,
design,
review
application,
and
this
is
introduced
by
council
member
fall.
C
A
If
not
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
I
I
oppose,
nay
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved
great.
Thank
you
thanks.
Ordinance.
7221
is
an
ordinance
in
mending
athens
city
code,
title
iii,
administrative
provisions,
unlawful
discriminatory
practices,
and
this
is
introduced
by
council
member
smedley.
E
A
If
not
we'll
ask
to
see
if
we
have
any
comments
or
questions
from
our
attendees,
and
I
do
see
that
damon
crane
has
raised
his
hand,
and
so
are
you
and
if
you're
wishing
to
speak
to
this,
you
would
be
allowed
three
minutes
up
to
three
minutes
of
comments
and
would
give
us
your
name
and
address.
So
we
have
this
for
the
record
and
also
for
those
viewing
on
the
live
stream.
A
I
The
organizations,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
are
united
athens
county
tenants,
the
ohio
poverty
law
center,
my
sister's
place,
survivor,
advocacy,
outreach
program,
hawking,
athens,
perry,
community
action
project,
southeast
ohio,
habitat
for
humanity,
southeast

sub-chapter
of
the
national
lawyers
guild,
the
ohio
chapter
of
the
national
lawyers
guild
and
the
appalachian
peace
and
justice
network.
The
letter
reads
as
follows:
urathon
city
council,
on
april
12,
2021
city
council,
member
arien,
smedley
proposed
a
change
to
athens
city
code,
section
307,
62
c.
I
This
change,
or
rather
addition
to
the
code
language
would
ban
discrimination
in
housing
based
on
source
of
income.
Source
of
income
refers
to
how
a
tenant
pays
their
rent,
the
most
common
form
of
source
of
income
discrimination
occurs
when
a
landlord
refuses
to
rent
to
a
tenant
who
receives
a
public
housing.
Subsidy
such
as
a
section
8
housing
choice,
voucher
or
rental
assistance
from
community
action
agencies.
I
In
august
of
last
year,
the
aspen
institute
predicted
that
30
to
40
million
families
would
lose
housing
this
year
due
to
the
effects
of
the
covet
19
pandemic.
Many
of
these
families
may
be
eligible
for
public
housing
assistance
which
would
allow
them
to
achieve
long-term,
sustainable
rental
assistance.
I
Without
this
ordinance,
athens
tenants
could
be
refused
housing
solely
because
they
receive
government
assistance
to
pay
their
rent
united
athens
county
tenants,
along
with
the
undersigned
organizations
implore
city
council,
to
enact
this
ordinance
as
soon
as
possible
to
protect
our
neighbors
family
and
friends
from
source
of
income
discrimination.
The
coveted
19
pandemic
has
exacerbated
the
inequities
that
exist
in
our
society.
It
is
up
to
athens
city
council
to
close
the
gap
by
ensuring
secure
and
safe
housing
for
all.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
A
A
Motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
So
thank
you
all
right.
We
have
one
ordinance
for
second
reading.
I
will
read
the
title
I'll
pause
and
see
if
there
are
any
comments
or
questions
ordinance.
6521
is
an
ordinance
amending
the
2021
appropriation
ordinance
and
authorizing
the
auditor
to
make
an
interfund
transfer
introduced
by
council
councilmember
crowl
any
comments
or
questions.
E
A
A
7421
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
creation
of
an
athens,
uptown
designated
outdoor
refreshment
area
known
as
adora,
and
this
is
introduced
by
all
members
of
council,
and
I
believe,
council
member
crowl
has
spoken
to
this
before
this
is
an
application
process
for
what
would
be
a
five-year
program
with
proposed
dora
in
certain
areas
of
the
city
council,
member
crowl.
Would
you
be
willing
to
speak
briefly
to
this.
F
A
I
suppose
it's
maybe
similar
to
an
ad
hoc
committee
as
opposed
to
a
standing
committee,
and
that
you
know
it's
a
pilot
program.
We
tend
to
think
of
as
we're
going
to
try
something
for
a
trial
for
a
short
period
of
time
to
see
if
it's
effective
and
works
and
the
I
think,
the
time
parameters
of
the
application
to
the
state
it
being
five
years
would
indicate
longer
than
a
typical
pilot
project.
A
D
More
explanation,
you
know
once
this
goes
through
council
and,
if
council
approves,
then
it
goes
to
the
ohio
department
of
commerce
it
for
approval
once
they
approve
all
of
the
the
establishments
that
have
liquor
permits
have
to
now
apply
for
a
liquor
permit.
That
is
similar
to
the
same
liquor
pip
they
have
whether
it's
a
d1
or
d5,
whatever
that
is
plus.
It
will
also
have
a
dora
indicator
on
that
application.
D
J
I'm
specifically
in
the
ohio
revised
code,
the
code
section
that
creates
these
doras,
it
does
say
at
any
time
the
legislative
authority
may
dissolve
all
or
part
of
the
outdoor
refreshment
area.
So
that's
built
in
that.
If
things
aren't
working,
the
revised
code
says
that
we
can
so
it
could
be
at
any
time.
J
F
Thank
you
president
nicely.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
I
did
hear
from
one
citizen
who
was
concerned
about
the
containers
that
would
be
used
for
this
program.
As
I
reassured
that
citizen
and
I'd
like
to
reassure
the
public
today,
the
subcommittee
took
very
close
consideration
of
the
proper
container
to
use
for
this.
F
Now
you
might
understand
that
there
are
health
code
reasons
why
these
would
have
to
be
single
use,
containers
and
they
did.
The
ordinance
does
require
them
to
be
100
compostable.
I
realized
that
that's
not
perfect
in
a
perfect
world,
but
it
does
give
a
give
some
possibilities
for
the
the
waste
disposal.
F
They've
talked
to
ahrc
and
and
gone
through
all
the
potential
waste
management
of
the
cups,
but
they're
also
open
to
perhaps
in
the
future.
For
this
initial
go
around,
they
really
had
to
work
with
all
the
local
businesses
who
might
make
this
a
success,
and
the
local
businesses
had
to
be
a
part
of
this
commitment
to
to
purchasing
cups
for
their
establishment.
So
I
know
that
they
are
open
to
looking
in
the
future
towards
possibly
a
stainless
steel
cup,
that
more
local
tourists
to
athens.
F
J
The
the
section
of
the
revised
code
is
very
specific
about
what
can
and
cannot
happen
in
adora,
and
I'm
looking
at
the
section
that
says
a
requirement
that
beer
and
intoxicating
liquor
be
sold,
served
solely
in
plastic
bottles
or
other
plastic
containers
in
the
area.
I
suppose
a
compostable
cup
would
be
acceptable
too,
but
absolutely
what
I've
read
is
absolutely
no
glass
or
it
doesn't
even
allow
for
a
permanent
container
like
well.
I
guess
a
plastic
container,
but
I
don't
care
about
it.
How
do
you
feel
so?
A
D
Thank
you,
president
nicely.
I'm
glad,
I'm
glad
that
you
mentioned
that
it'll
also
only
run
thursdays,
fridays,
saturdays
and
sundays,
within
restrictive
times,
not
to
go
beyond
10
pm
on
thursday,
friday
and
saturday.
I
believe
sunday
is
until
8.
If
I'm
not
mistaken.
The
other
thing
is
that
ohio
revised
code
even
speaks
to
the
size
for
a
city
our
size.
A
Great
and-
and
I
noticed
that
jessica
thomas
is
among
the
attendees
and
she
as
council
member
crowl,
referred
to
her.
She
is
president
of
the
uptown
business
association,
so
jessica.
I
wasn't
sure
if
you
were
wanting
to
make
any
kind
of
comments
while
we're
discussing
this
tonight,
she
does
have
her
hand
raised.
A
K
A
Great
thank
you
for
the
comment.
Thank
you
all
right.
Well,
we
will
be
having
additional
readings
of
the
the
ordinance
so
stay
tuned,
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
one.
Now
75
21.
This
is
an
organized
authorizing
the
disposal
of
a
track
hoe
in
the
department
of
engineering
and
public
works.
That
is
no
longer
needed
for
a
municipal
purpose
introduced
by
council
member
grace.
B
Thank
you
president
nicely.
This
is
the
disposal
that
I
referenced
just
a
bit
ago
during
her
committee
meeting
and
we
have
a
track
hoe
that
no
longer
meets
these
needs,
and
this
ordinance
authorizes
disposal
of
that
trackhoe
to
be
used
as
a
trade-in
credit
toward
the
purchase
of
a
replacement
track.
B
A
Thank
you
any
comments
or
questions
from
council
members,
elected
officials
or
attendees
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
the
the
corollary
ordinance
7621.
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
purchase
of
a
replacement
trackhoe
for
the
engineering
and
public
works
department
introduced
by
councilmember
grace.
Thank.
B
B
Ten
thousand
four
hundred
twenty
eight
dollars
and
eighty
cents,
water
maintenance
fund,
ten
thousand
four
hundred
twenty
eight
dollars
and
eighty
cents
sewer
maintenance
fund
and
the
service
safety
director
is
authorized
to
accept
bids
where
necessary
and
enter
into
a
contract
with
the
lowest
and
best
bidder,
or
to
use
one
of
the
city's
cooperative
purchasing
programs
to
acquire
that
replacement.
Trackhoe
and
the
total
expenditure.
Authorization
is
for
sixty
thousand
six
hundred
eighty
six
dollars
and
forty
two
cents.
F
F
F
and
the
service
safety
director
will
obviously
be
bids
and
will
be
entering
into
a
contract
with
the
lowest
and
best
builder,
and
possibly
using
one
of
the
city
of
athens's
cooperative
purchasing
programs.
So
this
is
something
we
need
to
get
done,
and
this
is
the
first
reading
of
that
necessity.
Thank
you,
president
nicely.
D
D
We'll
have
a
better
idea
as
to
whether
we're
going
to
start
replacing
plywood
panels
roofing
panels
up
there
as
well.
So
we
just
don't
know
that's
why
we
have
the
additional
20
000
in
there,
so
that
we
don't
have
to
worry
at
this
point
in
time
about.
You
know
the
ten
percent
above
the
estimated
cost
of
that
repair
and
again
taking
into
account
building
materials
expenses
at
this
point
in
time,.
E
A
A
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
mayor
to
pay
a
one-year
membership
fee
to
the
outdoor
recreation
council
of
appalachia,
known
as
orca,
to
provide
financial
support
from
the
city's
transient
guest
tax
for
the
bailey's
trail
system,
along
with
other
recreational
activities
and
as
introduced
by
council
member
crowl.
Thank
you.
F
So
we
have
discussed
this
for
many
years
in
the
past
about
how
the
city
and
the
county
may
support
this
project
and
orca
has
now
gone
to
this
membership
fee,
and
we
had
a
wonderful
presentation
by
executive
director
jesse
powers
about
the
work
that
they're
doing
in
this
regard.
So
this
is
authorizing
the
mayor
to
to
pay
a
one
year,
one
year
membership
fee
of
ninety
thousand
dollars.
F
Ninety
thousand
dollars
was
the
original
amount
that
we
were
considering
paying
on
a
yearly
basis
for
twenty
years
and
that
that
might
still
be
a
possibility,
but
as
its
current
stands
with
the
county,
county's
decisions
on
their
support
of
the
project,
athens
right
now
would
be
doing
this
one
year,
commitment
to
membership
in
orca
and
then
looking
at
the
way
things
are
going
to
move
forward.
So
the
ninety
thousand
dollars,
as
previously
planned,
should
come
from
the
transient
guest
tax.
F
C
C
It
was
always
looking
at
our
resources
first
so
that
it
ensured
that
the
profits
stayed
within
our
communities,
and
that
was
the
big
discussion
that
we
had
for
many
months
and
I'm
happy
to
see
that
it's
going
progressing
quickly
like
we
hoped
and
it's
it's
a
great
project
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
it's
under
local
control
with
local
money.
Thank
you.
D
I've
I've
mentioned
this
many
many
times,
I'm
going
to
say
it
again
is
that
the
the
money
for
this
90
000
is
coming
from
what
was
came
out
of
the
transient
guest
tax,
and
I
think
that
needs
to
be
very
clear
to
everybody
that
this
is
not
coming
from
city
income
tax.
This
is
coming
from
the
hotel
tax
that
has
existed
here
in
the
city
of
athens
for
many
years.
A
Okay,
thanks
and
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
council
members,
elected
officials
or
our
attendees
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
ordinance
79-21.
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
all
actions
necessary
to
accept
a
northeast
ohio,
public
energy
council,
nopec
2021,
energized
community
grant
funds
and
declaring
an
emergency
introduced
by
council
member
crowl.
F
F
F
F
F
Again,
the
fees
associated
with
the
drd,
the
administrative
fees,
as
mentioned
in
the
committee
meeting,
so
this
is
authorizing
the
auditor
to
make
the
following
transfers
from
the
cdbg
funded
general
fund
in
the
amount
of
1622.28
cents
from
the
same
under
the
street
fund,
220
in
the
amount
of
1728.33
same
cdbg
fund
to
the
water
fund
in
the
amount
of
2016.38
cents
and
then
also
from
the
cdbg
fund
to
the
sewer
fund
in
the
amount
of
two
thousand
sixteen
dollars
and
thirty
nine
cents.
Thank
you,
president
nicely.
A
A
If
not,
then
we'll
move
on
to
ordinance
81-21.
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
safety
director
to
execute
supplemental
electric
line.
Easements
and
rights
of
way
for
the
shroud's
run
clark
line
with
the
ohio
power
company
aep
and
declaring
an
emergency
as
introduced
by
capital
member
fall.
C
A
Is
there
a
motion
from
account?
Oh
well,
but
let's
do
the
motion
and
second
and
then
we'll
entertain
any
comments.
So
do
we
have
a
motion
for
cancelling
this
hiring
freeze,
review
made
by
council
member
fall
seconded
by
council
member
crowl,
and
then
I
believe
that
we
had
a
comment
from
auditor
hecht.
C
C
A
A
Yes,
the
mayor
is
happy,
I
think,
we're
all
happy
as
a
symbol
of
beginning
just
beginning
to
return
to
to
a
more
normal
working
environment.
So
and
thank
council
members
too.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
all
for
your
leadership
during
this
time.
This
has
not
been
easy
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
input
and
a
lot
of
long
hours,
also
from
our
clerk
of
counsel,
debbie
walker
and
our
law,
director,
elias
and
and
patients
from
our
mayor.
So
there
you
go
an
oversight
from
our
auditor
all
right.
A
C
I
would
just
like
to
say
thank
you,
because
the
the
they
have
done
a
huge
amount
of
work
with
all
the
stuff.
That's
been
going
on.
It's
it's
great
with
the
development.
The
downtown
redevelopment
districts,
which
was
from
the
state,
really
gave
us
a
tool
to
be
able
to
use
for
for
saving
historic
buildings
and
using
them
as
anchors
to
do
redevelopment
and
economic
development.
So
thank
you.
A
There
are
these
little
icons
that
say
the
government
channel
or
scott
thompson
and
those
two
people
and
their
intern
have
spent
more
hours
setting
up
zoom
meetings
because
we
switched
from
a
a
year
ago,
last
march,
to
zoom
meetings
remote,
not
only
for
council,
but
for
all
of
our
commission
meetings
and
a
myriad
of
other
meetings
for
planning
for
conferences
that
just
couldn't
have
happened
without
your
help.
So
we
want
to
thank
the
both
of
you
and
acknowledge
all
your
work,
there's
scott!
Thank
you!
Okay
and
ryan.
D
D
I
don't
I
don't
say
that
in
just
I
say
that
from
the
standpoint
that
you
know
having
to
learn
new
technologies,
knowing
that
we
live
in
southeast
ohio
and
knowing
that
granted
we're
the
largest
city
in
southeast
ohio,
but
we
still
have
broadband
issues
and
that
you
were
able
to
make
this
almost
look
easy,
scott
and
ryan.
So
thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart
for
everything
that
you
guys
have
done
and
continue
to
do
we're
not
out
of
the
weeds.
