Description
Athens City Council - June 21, 2021
A
B
C
Have
a
couple
items
tonight,
president
nicely:
first
off
we
there
was
a
ribbon
cutting
for
the
bailey
trail
system,
doanville
trailhead
that
occurred
this
afternoon
with
representation
from
odnr,
as
well
as
the
abandoned
mine
lands
director
and
then
tomorrow,
at
11
or
wednesday,
at
11.
Sorry,
the
23rd
at
11.
There
will
be
a
ribbon
cutting
ceremony
for
the
microgrid
down
at
the
service
garage
feeding
off
of
the
water
treatment
plant
solar
array,
so
encourage
anyone
from
council.
C
A
A
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We
have
a
motion
and
second
for
approval
of
70
21..
Do
we
have
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
our
elected
officials?
Our
council
members
or
our
public
members
were
attending
tonight,
if
not
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye,
close,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
E
E
We
mistakenly
used
factory
street
when
station
street
was
intended,
and
this
is
to
include
the
area
where
athens
uncorked
is
and
that
development
louis
louise,
I
believe,
maybe
no
longer,
but
that's
that
location
and
so
any
further
liquor
establishments
that
come
into
that
area
would
be
included
as
part
of
the
dora.
That's
one
of
the
changes.
E
Another
change
is
that
initially
the
plan
was
to
have
the
the
dora
area
come
down
union
street
to
depot
street,
which
is
right
on
the
edge
of
sort
of
the
cat's
den,
and
we
realized
we
wanted
to
include
star
of
india
as
well
as
ciro,
and
so
this
amendment
extends
it
a
little
bit
further
down
west
union
street
to
smith
street,
and
I
know
that
the
mayor
has
been
working
closely
with
yuba
on
this
proposal.
Would
he
would
the
mayor
like
to
continue
with
amendments?
E
C
Will,
as
was
pointed
out,
another
error
was
the
sanitation
plan
where
the
sanitation
plan
spoke
to
the
dora
being
within
the
uptown
franchise
area
or
district
and
the
while
the
dora
does
by
and
large
exist
within
the
franchise
district.
It
does
extend
beyond
the
franchise
district,
so
I've
provided
to
council.
All
of
you
should
have
received.
C
A
little
bit
earlier,
a
little
while
ago
and
you'll
see
in
bold
where
the
amended
changes
are
for
this,
where
it
now
reads
I'll
just
address
the
amended
language.
The
dora
is
largely
contained
within
the
city's
franchise
district
for
trash
and
recycling,
and
then
it
goes
on
to
speak
to
the
athens.
Hawking
recycling
would
be
picking
up,
as
they
typically
do
seven
days
a
week
within
the
franchise
district.
What
was
included
was
the
portion
that
is
outside
of
the
franchise
district
which
reads
now.
C
This
is
in
addition,
the
portion
of
the
dora
that
resides
outside
the
city's
franchise
district
is
west
union
west
of
congress
street
down
to
smith
street
and
includes
depot
street
and
station
street.
The
city
will
be
adding
two
on-street
trash
receptacles
to
west
union
between
congress
and
smith
street,
which
will
be
monitored
and
emptied
by
city
staff.
C
C
You
know
brought
into
the
franchise
district's
plan
and
expand
that
plan
moving
forward,
hopefully
certainly
by
next
year.
I
believe
by
next
year
so
and
then
that
way,
the
city
employee
would
not
be
emptying
those
receptacles.
This
is
no
different
than
what
the
city
does
for
the
trash
receptacles
along
the
bike
path
down
at
the
end
of
courier
and
other
locations
where
we
have
them
outside
trash
receptacles
outside
of
the
franchise
district.
A
Thank
you.
So
we
have
a
motion
and
second
now
for
amending
and
that
one
is
to
amend
the
streets
that
are
listed
so
that
they
are
correct
and
consistent
between
the
ordinance
and
also
the
auba,
the
uptown
business
association
application
and
the
second
one
is
to
add
additional
details
for
the
area
outside
our
solid
waste
district
area
for
sanitation
and
I'll
see.
Are
there
members
who
want
before
we
move
to
see
if
there's
any
discussion
or
questions
from
council
members?
F
A
A
G
F
F
A
A
It
could
be
brought
back
at
a
later
date,
but
it
would,
if
not
added
on
it
would
die
at
the
end
of
the
year
on
december
31st,
the
the
ordinance
would
I
see
it
so
so
here.
So
our
path
is
we're
going
to
amend
first
then
spin,
a
motion
to
suspend
and
and
that
vote
and
then,
if
you
want
to
then
the
the
motion
to
table
so
right
now,
any
other
comments
on
our
amendments.
H
E
The
go
ahead.
Sorry,
the
reason
yeah,
the
reason
being
is
that
I
do
believe
the
athens
uptown
business
association
is
ready
to
move
forward
on
this,
and
they
do
hope
that
there
can
be
a
late
summer
benefit
for
the
uptown
business
area.
With
the
with
the
designated
area
for
adora,
and
I
will
say
that
they
began
working
on
this
in
early
april
and
I've
been
meeting
weekly
and
I
think
that
they
have
done
due
diligence
to
make
this
work
and
certainly
the
research.
A
G
E
Thank
you
so,
with
all
due
respect
to
members
medley's
points,
if
if
if
it
was
not
ready
to
go
forward,
I
a
hundred
percent
agree
that
that
we
could
table
and
and
wait
for
it
to
be.
But
I
do
believe
that
there
is
an
economic
benefit
for
the
city
of
athens
this
summer,
and
so
I
am
making
a
motion
to
approve
zero
one.
Second,.
A
B
B
There
is
a
process
to
update
the
doras,
that's
in
the
template,
so
there
is
that
ability-
and
I
think
that
with
because
we
are
coming
out
of
covid,
it
will
help
to
build
community
and
to
get
people
out
in
a
in
a
nice
outdoor
sort
of
thing.
That
will
be
really
good
for
our
community.
So
thank
you.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
jessica.
Thomas
she's
done
a
huge
amount
of
work
on
this,
so
thank
you.
I
I
So
my
only
concern
with
that
is
that
with
there
being
the
dora
and
now
it
would
be
an
open,
carry
environment,
open,
open,
container
environment.
Excuse
me,
there
isn't
a
designated
pedestrian
crosswalk
with
the
entire,
the
the
southern
side
of
union,
for
them
to
cross
that
so
they
would
be
on
the
north
side,
but
there's
no
actual
pedestrian
designated
walkway
for
them
to
cross
over
to
go
down
station
over
to
depot.
I
D
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
echo
some
of
member
falls
statements
and
expressed
my
appreciation
to
jessica,
thomas
and
ayuba
members
for
the
the
work
that
they
put
into
this.
I
think
in
in
some
ways,
starting
it
kind
of
late
in
the
summer
gives
a
shortened
period
to
test
it
out,
see
how
it
works
and
it
can
be
adjusted
and
amended
as
needed
moving
forward.
D
So
if,
if
community
council,
businesses,
others
find
things
that
should
be
adjusted
prior
to
a
full
summer
next
year,
then
I
think
that's
something
that
could
be
done
and
also.
I
believe
there
is
a
crosswalk
at
the
little
roundabout
that
is
at
smith
street,
where
smith
street
comes
into
union
that
that
roundabout
is
at
smith
union,
and
there
is
a
crosswalk
there.
I
Could
I
just
just
add
one
for
just
something.
Thank
you,
member
grace
just
addressing
the
the
crosswalk.
I
know
there
is
one
down
there
at
the
roundabout,
but
with
the
dora
not
including
the
south
side
of
union
street,
then
technically
people
aren't
allowed
to
walk
on
that
portion
of
the
road
with
an
open
container.
I
E
E
It's
just
a
little
bit
of
an
odd
as
depot
street
goes
down
to
station
street,
there's
that
island
there
sort
of
in
the
middle,
and
it's
not
exactly
clear
where
the
best
place
is
to
cross
the
street.
So
quite
frankly,
I
think
that
we
could
have
our
engineering
and
public
works
department,
examine
that
and
see
what
might
be
the
best
solution.
I
don't
think
it's
specifically
dora
related,
though,
in
my
opinion,
thank
you.
C
So
in
direct
response
to
the
crosswalk
I
I
did
reach
out
to
acting
director
of
engineering.
Public
works
jessica,
dine
on
this
point
unto
itself
and
she
gave
me
a
synopsis
and
just
to
read
this
to
council.
If
I
may
that
there
are
several
factors
that
need
to
be
evaluated
when
reviewing
an
uncontrolled
crossing
location,
which
is
what
this
would
be.
I
don't
think
council,
and
I
know
I
don't
want
to
put
an
another
traffic
light
on
west
union.
C
The
things
that
are
are
evaluated
are
lighting,
85th,
percentile
for
speed,
number
of
lanes,
geometry,
pedestrian
volume,
traffic
volumes,
distance
from
other
intersections
and
crossings
and
other
such
factors.
She
did
go
back
and
look
at
the
crash
reports.
Of
course,
these
are.
There
was
one
vehicle,
pedestrian
conflict.
It
was
an
individual
who
was
in
a
parking
space
who
was
had
a
conflict
with
a
vehicle
and
and
the
other
one
was
two
vehicles
that
had
conflict
in
that
area.
There
were
no
reported
in
2018,
2019
or
2020.
C
She
provided
that
to
me.
She
did
review
the
site
today
and
that
site
would
be
the
west
side
of
depot
street
north,
which
is
the
dead
end
and
depot
street
south,
and
she
said
she
is
concerned
about
the
geometry:
to
put
an
uncontrolled
sidewalk
there,
the
the
geometry
of
the
intersection
and
pedestrian
visibility,
but
if
she
would
like
for
me
to
do
a
full
review
that
she
would
do
so,
I
am
going
to
ask
her
to
do
a
full
review
of
that
particular
area
to
see
what
we
can
do.
C
It
was
just
mentioned
at
the
the
smith
street
roundabout
or
west
union
mini
roundabout.
That
is
600
feet
from
the
intersection
in
question
of
depot
and
west
union.
So
to
to
all
everyone's
points
when
it
comes
to
the
crosswalk
and
remember
smedley,
I
know
that
that
was
in
your
questions
to
me
as
well.
It
is
certainly
something
that
I
am
asking
the
dr
the
acting
director
to
look
into
to
see
again
in
her
opinion
whether
it
fits
with
what
is
needed
in
that
area
for
a
crosswalk,
okay,.
F
F
F
It
just
feels
like
it's
being
rushed
a
little
bit
on
from
my
perspective,
and
I
know
works
been
happening
since
april,
but
even
tonight
we're
fixing
problems
that
are
just
recently
identified
and
so
that's
my
perspective
and
I
know,
there's
general
support
for
it
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
my
justification
for
it.
Thank
you.
F
G
I
have
a
question
and
I
I
read
what
the
mayor
put
up
there,
but
that
was
very
quick,
so
I
guess
I'm
unclear
if
you
have
a
dora
cup
and
you
say
from
uncorked
and
you
want
to
go
to
the
skull.
Are
you
allowed?
Is
that
dora
continuous
down
through
there
so
where
you
cross
the
street
and
you
go
down
depot
and
around
or
whatever?
So
it's
it's
continuous,
so
you
would
be
good
crossing
or
not.
G
B
C
That
south
side
of
west
union,
as
it
goes
down
the
south
side,
is
largely
residential,
while
it's
probably
in
a
b
zone.
Those
are
all
rentals
up
and
down
there.
And
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
to
the
intentional
to
where
the
dora
footprint
is
really
where
there
are
drinking
establishments
by
and
large,
and
so
that
was
the
logic
behind
that.
A
Okay,
so
I
appreciate
all
the
discussion:
we're
going
to
take
one
more
comment
from
councilmember
ziff
see
if
anybody
else
wants
an
opportunity
to
speak,
that
hasn't
spoken
as
of
yet,
but
we
do
have
a
motion
and
a
second,
and
my
comment
would
be
that
it
does
sound
like
we
have.
The
the
acting
director
of
public
works
who's
going
to
investigate
this.
A
So
the
motion
on
the
floor
right
now
is
you
either
approve
it
or
you
don't
in
its
present
form
with
its
definitions
with
its
sanitation
area
with
its,
however
safe
or
unsafe.
You
think
that
area
is
for
for
the
pedestrians,
so
council
members,
if
and
we'll
open
it
up
for
one
final
round
to
see
if
there's
any
other
people
who
have
not
spoken
before
so
I
want
to
give
everybody
an
opportunity.
I
Thank
you,
president
isolated.
So
thank
you,
mayor
patterson,
for
all
that
information
as
well
and
totally
agree.
We
you
don't
want
to
be
putting
it
just
all
over
willy
nilly.
The
section
I
was
referring
to
was
just
this
section
from
the
roundabout
to
depot
not
extending
up
so
in
just
there's
just
the
field
there
there's
no
housing
or
anything.
So
that's
my
that's.
My
final
thought.
For
the
night
there
we
go.
A
K
Thank
you.
I
do
appreciate
all
the
conversation
deliberation
and
particularly
the
point
that
this
is
an
ordinance
that
can
be
updated
as
needed,
and
I'm
just
wondering
to
mayor
patterson.
If
you
have
any
sense
of
how
long
the
more
thorough
safety
investigation
would
take
compared
to
the
goal
of
beginning
in
late
summer,
with
the
dora.
C
A
C
A
And-
and
I
want
to
give
an
opportunity
for
the
members
of
the
public
who
are
here
tonight-
and
I
wasn't
sure
us
if
mr
ostrike
was
raising
his
hand,
would
if
you
would
like
to
speak.
Yes,
we
could,
we
can
recognize
you
just
give
us
your
name
and
address,
so
we
have
it
for
the
viewing
public
and
for
for
our
record.
L
Yeah,
it's
art,
oh
straight
91,
south
may,
in
the
great
city
of
athens
yeah.
I
just
I
feel
like
if
we
can
practice
this
for
three
weeks
or
four
weeks.
I
think
that's
the
only
you
know
july
15th
through
august
15th
at
most.
I
think
it
would
be
a
really
good
way
for
us
to
understand
and
make
the
changes
necessary
for
how
it
could
really
be.
What
I
see
is
a
boon
for
the
summer
of
22..
L
You
know
so
just
give
it
a
shot.
I
understand,
there's
probably
going
to
be
some
issues,
there's
always
issues
when
we
change
things,
and
you
know
knowing
that
this
has
a
time
limit
on
it.
I
think
that
you
know
it's
a
kind
of
a
perfect
little
opportunity
for
us
to
play
with
something
that
could
be
awesome
for
for
athens,
so
yeah.
That's
all
I
got.
C
Thank
you
because
I've
been
answering
questions
but
didn't
have
a
chance
to
comment.
I
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
this
was
a
yuba,
the
uptown
business
association
that
came
forward.
So
it's
not
just
you
know
drinking
establishments,
it's
other
retail
on
within
the
yuba
footprint.
So
that
was
number
one
number
two
is
that
to
answer
one
of
several
questions
that
councilmember
smedley
had
sent
to
me
so
councilman
smedley.
C
Thank
you
for
reaching
out
with
the
questions
that
you
did
have,
and
this
is
a
good
time
to
remind
everybody.
The
city
already
has
an
existing
section
in
code.
It
is
9.12.22
sidewalks
and
gutters,
and
it
speaks
to
the
fact
that
the
businesses
in
the
uptown
area
and
within
the
dora
they
are
responsible
for
litter
control
and
the
and
no
obstructions
of
the
sidewalks
and
whatnot
to
include
18
inches
out
into
the
gutter.
C
So
that
is
something
that
I
think
that
we
I
know
I
will
get
that
out
and
have
your
rotation
to
the
businesses
that
you
are
responsible
for
any
litter.
That
is
on
your
sidewalk
or
out
in
the
gutter
area.
But
that
again
we
will
be
deploying
dump
trash
receptacles
on
west
union
in
areas
where
we
currently
don't
have
them,
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that
as
we're
looking
at
potential
in
the
future
replacement
of
our
big
belly
system
uptown.
So
that's
a
different
conversation
for
a
different
day.
A
M
M
Hi
thanks,
thank
you,
president
nicely
jessica,
thomas
owner
co-owner,
brennan's,
coffee
cafe
and
the
chair
of
the
uptown
business
association
thanks.
My
wi-fi
keeps
kind
of
cutting
out,
so
I
kind
of
trying
to
raise
my
hand
and
kept
glitching
yeah.
I
just
want
to
echo
what
art
and
steve
said
that
this
is
definitely
a
good
way
to
sample
this,
to
get
a
little
bit
of
hand
on
on
what
we
think
will
be
happening
next
summer.
M
We've
done
a
lot
of
looking
around
and
talking
great
research
from
us
from
a
class
last
week
and
it's
something
that
benefits
the
entire
uptown
area.
What
these
students
came
back
with
the
numbers
are
just
phenomenal.
You
know
most,
the
places
are
15
to
20
percent
increases
in
retail
and
non-liquor
establishments
during
their
dora
hours.
M
They've
had
really
very
low
low
numbers
to
some
having
zero
negative
consequences.
Most
are
saying
that
you
know
they
would
recommend
it
to
any
community
in
the
area
and
there
are
about
56
now
in
ohio,
so
they've
been
going
on
for
a
while
now
and
we've
not
had
any
issues
anywhere.
So
I
really
think
we
can.
We
can
kind
of
we
can
observe
this
summer.
We
can
look
at
the
trash
situations
and
we
can
really
keep
an
eye
on
where
we
see
our
troubles.
M
A
F
A
A
Suppose,
nay
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
Thanks
for
all
your
comments
and
discussion
tonight,
I
appreciate
it
we'll
move
on
now
to
ordinance
75-21.
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
disposal
of
a
trackhoe
in
the
department
of
engineering
and
public
works.
That
is
no
longer
needed
for
a
municipal
purpose
introduced
by
councilman
member
grace.
D
Second,
council
member
fall.
Thank
you.
Member
fall,
and
this
is
the
process
that
our
department
of
engineering
and
public
works
needs
to
go
through
in
order
to
properly
dispose
of
equipment
that
they
need
to
replace
with
alternate
equipment,
and
so
they
will
be
disposing
of
a
2014
caterpillar
trackhoe
through
trade-in.
I
A
A
K
D
Bidder
or
cooperative
purchasing
program
in
the
language
of
the
ordinance
so
and
it
it
may
be
like
we
don't
have
a
specified
amount
that
we
would
be
getting
a
trade-in
on
our
old
track
code
that
we
are
trading
in.
So
I'm
not
sure
if
that
is,
is
relevant
in
this.
As
far
as
which
option
they're
able
to
proceed
with,
I
don't
know
if
perhaps
the
mayor
or
the
auditor
has
any
clarification
on
that.
A
G
G
A
Okay,
and
is
that
so
are
we
comfortable
then,
with
proceeding
with
approval
of
the
ordinance
or
a
vote
on
the
ordinance,
as
is
okay
all
right?
We
have
them,
but
thank
you
for
the
question,
though
councilmember
reisner,
we
have
a
motion,
a
second
for
approval,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
A
The
next
one
is
ordinance
78
21.
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
the
financial
support
from
the
city's
transient
guest
tax
for
the
bayley's
trail
system,
along
with
other
recreational
activities,
and
this
is
introduced
by
councilmember
crowell.
E
F
B
Thank
you.
I
want
to
point
out
a
couple
of
people.
Who've
had
a
real
impact
on
this
over
the
last
couple
years,
and
one
of
them
was
was
pete,
who
you
know,
was
dogged
in
a
lot
of
what
he
did
with
this
project,
which
I
think
is
really
nice,
that's
pete,
copsus
and
then
paige
ellis.
Who
was
in
charge
of
the?
B
C
I
just
want
to
circle
back
around
to
I
remember
smedley's
comment.
I
agree
with
you
wholeheartedly
and
that
is
the
you
know
the
grace
of
the
city,
the
citizens
of
athens,
to
approve
the
arts
parks
and
rec
levy
to
make
those
kinds
of
improvements.
You
know
you
know
we
already
have
funding
for
that,
which
would
be
through
that
the
recreation
levy
that
exists
right
now.
So
I
it's
interesting.
I
just
had
a
conversation
with
director
moore
earlier
today
about
that
topic.
So,
but
duly
noted,
I
appreciate
that.
A
N
N
Optimized
trail
system,
east
of
the
mississippi
river,
we're
just
going
to
be
in
a
better
and
better
position
to
continue
to
leverage
public
and
private
investments,
not
only
for
the
bailey's
trail
system,
but
for
all
our
outdoor
recreation
opportunities,
and
we
really
look
forward
to
making
this
a
regional
strategy
to
increase
ohio's
tourism
and
providing
that
value
to
the
state
and
opening
the
door
for
long-term
investment
here,
which
has
been
lacking
for
a
long
time.
So,
thank
you
all.
J
H
A
Opposed,
nay,
okay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
Thank
you.
Ordinance,
79
21
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
all
actions
necessary
to
accept
a
northeast
ohio,
public
energy
council,
nopec
2021
energized
community
grant
fund
and
declaring
an
emergency
introduced
by
councilmember
crowl.
E
E
The
city
had
previously
entered
into
a
grant
agreement
with
nopec
and
to
receive
one
of
these
grants,
and
I
believe
the
city
administration
plans
on
using
this
for
some
solar
powered
lighting
on
the
east
side
of
athens,
and
this
simply
allows
the
mayor
of
athens
to
accept
this
grant
these
grant
funds.
Thank
you,
president.
Nasa.
A
C
I
would
encourage
council
and
the
viewing
audience
to
take
a
drive
over
to
the
far
east
neighborhood
townsend
over
to
grand
park.
The
the
six
lamps
that
we
got
with
last
year's
no
peck
grant
is
now
fully
functional
to
where
we
have
mid-block
lighting
over
there,
and
this
would
continue
to
increase
that
as
a
basically
a
pilot
project
where
we
don't
have
a
power
grid.
We
now
have
solar
power
lighting
and
making
those
neighborhoods
more
well-lit.
C
D
A
Motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
Ferdinand's
8121
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
safety
director
to
execute
supplemental
electric
line.
Easements
and
rights
of
way
for
the
stroud's
run
clark
line
with
the
ohio
power
company
aep
and
declaring
an
emergency.
This
is
introduced
by
council
member
fall.
B
A
N
A
E
E
A
E
E
Thank
you
and
as
read
by
president
nicely,
this
would
allow
our
service
safety
director
to
accept
bids
into
doing
this
work.
It
also
amends
the
2021
appropriation
ordinance
to
appropriate
from
the
unappropriated
balance,
two
hundred
thousand
dollars,
which
is
approximately
the
estimate
that
we
received
for
the
repair
of
the
roof.
A
J
A
E
A
J
A
E
E
E
J
E
Thank
you,
member
grace
just
to
remind
everyone.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
a
of
a
staffing
change
in
the
auditor's
office,
creating
two
income
tax
administrator
positions
where
previously
there
was
a
single
tax
administrator
and
then
another
position
in
the
office,
and
this
would
create
two
income
tax
administrators.
Thank
you,
president.
Nicely.
J
A
F
E
D
Second,
from
council
member
fall.
Thank
you.
Member
fall,
and
I
think
the
the
reason
for
the
suspension
is
clear
in
the
title
of
this
ordinance
that
we
are
declaring
a
real
and
present
emergency,
given
the
structural
condition
of
our
fire
department
headquarters,
and
they
would
like
to
be
authorized
to
be
in
the
repairs
as
soon
as
possible.
A
D
Grace,
thank
you
president
nicely,
and
this
is
the
ordinance
that
we
discussed
last
week
and
it
includes
an
appropriation
ordinance
appropriating
from
the
unappropriated
balance.
The
sum
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
the
general
fund
fire
and
authorizes
the
service
safety
director
to
expend
up
to
the
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
structural
repairs
to
our
fire
department
headquarters
and
I'm
making
a
motion
that
we
approve.
A
F
Thank
you,
president
nicely.
I
believe,
if
you
can
remind
me
during
committee
chief
reimer
mentioned,
that
they
he's
still
on
the
lookout
for
an
alternative
site
or
a
new
site
and
just
making
a
note
to
maybe
ask
him
to
come
back
within.
I
don't
know
before
the
end
of
the
year
to
see
how
where
that
stands,
because
I'm
sure
we'd
all
like
to
see
them
in
a
and
a
better
facility.
Thank.
C
One
of
the
things
members,
medley
and
council
as
a
whole,
one
of
the
things
I've
requested
of
chief
reimer,
is
once
they
do
start
to
get
ready
to
make
the
repairs
to
fully
document
the
extent
of
the
damage
to
that
building.
So
that
way,
we
can
bring
it
forward
to
council
and
again
as
a
reminder
to
the
council
in
the
viewing
audience
that
that's
a
66
year
old
building
that
is
nearing
the
end
of
its
useful
life.
K
A
A
The
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved
we
now
have
ordinances
for
first
reading.
8521
is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
title
9,
general
regulations,
chapter
9.06,
intoxicating
liquors,
narcotics,
section,
9.06.04,
possession
of
opened
bottle
or
container
of
beer
or
liquor
and
establishment
of
a
glass-free
zone
introduced
by
councilmember.
B
B
B
B
I
A
A
E
F
C
I
I
don't
thank
you
thank
you
for
letting
me
off
the
hook.
I
know
I
don't
have
that
time
frame
right
in
front
of
me.
I
will
get
it
to
council,
even
if
you
are
on
recess
I'll,
make
sure
that
I
will
address
that
and
get
it
out
to
you
because
you'll
take
it
up
again
when
you
come
back
off
of
your
july
break.
B
Thank
you.
I'd
also
like
to
follow
with
what
council
member
crowl
said
about
zach.
He
also
helped
with
the
county
auditor
and
the
county
treasurer
and
the
delinquent
house
program
that
they
did,
and
so
the
land
bank
and
so
he's
been
instrumental
in
a
lot
of
things
that
are
sustainable
and
making
our
community
resilient.
Thank
you.
A
A
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
We
we
discussed
this
extensively
last
week.
It's
not
a
new,
I
it's
not
a
new
idea
or
anything
because
it
was
also
discussed
extensively
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
When
the
plan,
when
title
23
is
changed,
that's
our
zoning
code.
It
has
to
go
through
a
process
that
is
established
by
the
ohio
revised
code.
B
One
way
to
establish
that
process.
To
start
it
is
for
council
to
ask
planning
commission
by
a
resolution,
to
please
look
at
the
following
information
and
give
your
recommendations
on
what
you
think
and
how
it
could
be
changed
or
those
sort
of
things.
The
planning
commission
has
their
own
process
and
they
have
their
own
case,
how
their
cases
are
heard
and
such,
but
it
will
be
public
public
meetings
that
they
have
twice
a
month
once
the
re.
B
The
recommendations
are
given
back
to
council
and
one
of
a
multitude
of
things,
but
most
most
likely
it
will
be
changes.
Council
will
look
at
it.
We
may
make
changes,
it
would
go
through
a
public
hearing
and
then
that
would
be
voted
on
in
a
regular
three
reading
vote.
So
this
is
just
the
start
of
a
process
that
has
a
lot
of
eyeballs
on
it.
So
that's
the
that's
the
idea
behind
just
the
resolution,
so
I'm
I
ask
that
we
adopt
the
resolution.
A
O
B
Okay,
thank
you.
We
we
asked
paul
here
in
case
somebody
had
some
questions
and
that
the
mayor
or
I
couldn't
answer,
though,
we've
been
looking
at
this
for
quite
a
while
the
planning
process,
the
comprehensive
planning
process
had
hundreds
of
hours
of
input
to
this
idea
of
parking
changes,
and
so
thank
you,
paul.
Are
there.
J
Thank
you
yeah,
my
my
question.
After
going
through
the
proposal
here,
the
resolution-
and
I
guess
this
to
the
planner,
what
do
you
see
as
the
the
major
impact
and
outcome
that
these
changes
will
have
in
terms
of
one
parking
in
general
and
two
encouraging
more
development,
the
uptown
area,
particularly
apartments
and
renters,
who
may
or
may
not
have
a
vehicle
and
need
someplace?
To
put
it,
that's
the
thing
that
bothers
me,
the
most
so.
O
J
O
I
think
in
general
to
your
point,
your
question
this
this
likely
would
spur
some
development
within
our
community.
I
don't
think
it
would
be
a
lot,
but
I
would
think
that
we
would
have
parking
areas
that
is
land
use
that
is
currently
for
the
to
hold
private
people's
private
property.
Their
cars
would
then
be
could
potentially
be
used
to
develop.
Housing,
which
is
much
needed
in
our
city,
could
be
developed
apartments,
condos,
single-family
homes
multi-unit,
you
name
it
to
the
uptown
area.
O
I
think,
and
we
just
had
a
good
example
last
week,
I
believe,
with
the
board
of
zoning
appeals,
there
was
a
proposal
for
the
former
faults:
building
historic
building
right
at
the
corner
of
court
in
union
right
across
the
street,
from
college
green
potential
developers
looking
to
purchase
the
property
and
convert
the
second
and
third
floors
into.
I
think
20
units
of
a
single
bedroom,
one
permitted
occupant
undergraduate
rentals,
absolutely
no
opportunity
to
provide
parking
on
on
that
site.
O
It's
a
historic
building
and
that
variance
was
denied,
and
so
I
would
expect
that
we
would
see
it
that
building
sit
vacant
for
a
very
long
time.
It
is
important
with
a
lot
of
our
in
our
historic
commercial
area.
A
lot
of
property
owners
really
need.
They
need
rental
to
make
those
buildings
work
and
we've
got
design
guidelines
in
place
right
now
to
make
sure
that
work.
O
That's
done
on
historic
buildings
in
the
uptown
district,
maintain
that
historic
fabric
we
just
I
just
sat
through
an
hour
meeting
prior
to
this
one
with
our
preservation
board,
as
they
reviewed
plans
for
65
and
67
south
court,
which
is
a
little
professor
and
court
street
coffee.
Many
of
you
know
they've
been
working
on
that,
and
so
that
was
so
projects
like
that.
O
Having
giving
flexibility
to
the
property
owner
and
to
a
developer
or
to
a
business
owner
to
make
a
better
choice
about
how
much
parking
they
think
they
need
to
make
their
business
work.
Just
to
me
that
gives
flexibility
to
make
those
decisions,
take
some
flexibility
away
from
or
some
authority
away
from
the
city,
but
gives
it
to
property
owners
to
make
some
decisions.
O
I
don't
know
you
know
you
say,
there's
what
negative
impacts.
Don't
know
it's
it's
hard
to
predict.
What
negative
impacts
will
happen
until
we
we
implement
change?
I
can
certainly
think
of
a
lot
of
negative
impacts
that
we're
having
to
our
existing
regulatory
schedule
for
parking,
though,
and
that
would
include
environmental
impacts,
land
use,
impacts,
floodplain
impacts,
congestion,
reliance
on
single
occupancy
vehicles
impacts
our
ability
to
walk
places.
Our
ability
to
to
use
public
transit
and
to
ride
bicycles,
makes
a
makes
an
unsafe
city,
and
traffic
is
an
incredibly
incredibly
noisy
endeavor.
O
J
J
O
B
We
need
to
also
look
at
the
the
cost
of
parking
with
some
of
the
other
things
that
we
have
been
talking
about
lately,
meaning
you
know
rentals
that
are
affordable,
rentals
that
are
not
only
designated
towards
undergraduates,
but
but
smaller
rentals
like
one
and
two
bedroom
houses
that
will
help
the
mix
of
our
neighborhoods
in
the
mix
of
our
uptown
to
be
able
to
get
people
in
right
now,
there's
like
a
mis
mismatch.
We
have
parking,
but
then
a
lot
of
times
it
may
be
sitting
empty.
F
D
And
she
had
okay.
Thank
you.
I
just
had
a
thought
regarding
like
what
remember
reister
and
a
planner
love
brought
up
that
the
potential
development
of
the
fallits
building,
that
not
only
would
the
proposed
change
require
fewer
parking
spaces,
but
it
also
allows
for
the
parking
spaces
to
be
farther
from
the
from
the
building.
F
I
have
since
had
a
conversation
with
a
local
business
owner
who
lives
and
works
in
the
city,
and
there
was
a
lot
of
interest
in
seeing
what
this
could
provide
for,
for
that
particular
business.
It
offers
creative
options
to
to
businesses,
and
but
I'm
also
pleased
that
this
is
not
tonight's
vote,
isn't
the
end
of
it
as
a
member
fall
explained.
F
This
is
the
first
step
in
many
steps,
and
so
we
just
welcome
everybody
to
get
involved
and
learn
as
much
as
you
can
and
ask
questions
along
the
way
and
and
exchanges
will
are,
are
possible.
So
if
that's
necessary,
there
is
a
curbside
conversation
coming
up.
It's
called
the
curbside
conversation
on
june
24th
at
5
30
at
armory
park,
if
anyone's
interested
in
joining
that.
F
E
Thank
you
yeah.
I
think
that
remember,
fall
and
remember.
Smedley
have
hit
this
on
the
head
and
in
terms
of
the
steps
here,
and
that
this
is
a
step
to
get
this
process
going
and
we're
not
approving
these
changes
tonight
and
I'll.
Just
just
sort
of
answer.
Remember
reisner's
questions,
at
least
in
my
mind.
E
E
They
will
be
looking
for
a
place
to
park
that
car
and,
as
we
all
know,
a
lot
of
the
the
things
in
our
code
were
created
in
order
to
keep
people
from
from.
You
know
parking
their
car
for
long
periods
of
time
in
our
residential
neighborhoods
and
and
those
who
have
been
around
for
a
long
time
know
that
sometimes
cars
would
be
parked
for
weeks
if
not
months,
and
then
we
had
no
place
for
those
of
us
who
don't
have
driveways
to
park
our
own
vehicles
in
our
neighborhoods.
E
Well,
we've
tried
to
solve
that
with
the
24
hour
and
now
the
72
hour
parking
rule.
So
I
think
we
have
moved
code
in
a
lot
of
positive
directions,
and
this
is
another
step
in
the
right
direction.
I
think
to
get
away
from
that
car
culture
to
emphasize
alternative
modes
of
transportation,
including
athens,
public
transit,
but
remember
eisner,
that's
one
concern
of
mine
is
if
the
cars
are
still
here.
If
we're
not
out
of
that
car
culture,
that's
serious!
Everybody
has
a
car
kind
of
thing.
B
A
A
One
thing
I
did
want
to
announce
that
I
think
we've
been
perhaps
referring
to,
or
I've
at
least
made
council
members
and
commission
members.
Aware
of
is
that,
as
of
august
1st,
when
council
returns
from
their
july
recess,
we
will
be
meeting
in
person
and
in
council
chambers,
and
likewise,
if
we
have
any
public
hearings,
those
will
also.
We
will
ask
for
public
comments
in
person.
A
A
And
do
we
have
a
second
from
council
member
fall?
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
oppose,
nay
all
right.
We
welcome
kay
back
to
richard
and
that's
that's
a
difficult
board
to
serve
on,
and
I
know
many
of
you
have
watched
that
and
the
fact
I
know
council
member
reisner
has
gone
to
somebody
watch
those
meetings
and
and
follows
them
as
well
as
the
planning
commission.
So
thank
you
next
motion
that
we
need
to
make
is
for
approval
of
the
may
21st
2021
financial
reports.
L
A
H
H
Dang
it
okay,
because
I
do
have
some.
You
know
things.
I
was
going
to
show
you
in
the
way
of
paperwork,
but
that's
not
working
out
very
well
for
me.
So
two
things
then
one
is
that
our
community
rights
group
turned
in
some
paperwork
today
to
attorney
general
yost
and
also
to
pardon
me
prosecutors
around
the
state,
including
keller,
blackburn,
and
these
letters
are
concerning
past
instances
where
our
roadways
could
have
been
polluted
by
oil
and
gas
brine
and
we're
asking
the
attorney
general
to
investigate
that.
H
The
beginning
of
the
bill,
both
in
the
house
and
senate,
have
the
same
language
that
I
was
going
to
show
you.
But
you
can't
see
me,
but
it
says,
to
enact
into
our
revised
code,
establish
conditions
and
requirements
for
the
sale
of
brine
from
oil
and
gas
operations
as
a
commodity
and
to
exempt
that
commodity
from
requirements
otherwise
applicable
to
brine,
and
that
seems
really
discouraging
that
we
already
have
a
very
lax
regulations
on
oil
and
gas
brine,
and
now
they
want
to
sell
it
to
our
communities
to
put
on
our
roads.
H
A
You
appreciate
your
time
within
the
three
minutes
and
we
appreciate
your
waiting
to
to
speak
with
us
tonight.
I
know
this
topic
came
up
once
before
when
that
was
under
consideration,
and
we
confirmed
that
the
city,
our
particular
city,
was
not
using
brine
but,
as
you
say,
one
one
municipalities
practice
affects
another
and
we're
all
interrelated.
