Description
Athens City Council - May 10, 2021
B
Thank
you,
president
nicely.
Oh
good.
I
am
on
unit
I
had
to
double
check.
Thank
you
very
much
council
for
letting
me
bring
this
forward
I'll
just
give
a
real
brief
background,
and
then
I'm
going
to
let
jessica
thomas
who
is
the
chair,
chair
or
president
for
ayuba,
the
athens
uptown
business
association
under
the
chamber
of
commerce.
B
4301-82,
which
authorizes
municipalities
to
have
designated
outdoor
refreshment
areas
we
did
discuss
it.
I
discussed
it
with
several
of
the
ayuba
members
last
year,
but
since
so
much
was
in
flux
as
to
what
could
be
done
and
what
couldn't
be
done.
I
decided
that
last
year
was
not
a
time
to
take
it
up,
but
this
year
again
in
my
conversations
and
attending
the
yuba
meetings
to
discuss
dora,
I
felt
that
it's
it's
time
to
bring
this
forward.
B
Something
to
point
out
about
adora
is
that
the
city
can
set
up
the
time
frames
in
which
doors
can
operate
and
allow
for
people
to
have
a
beverage
outside
the
outside
of
a
bar
or
a
bar.
Slash
restaurant
and
I
believe
jessica
thomas
is
going
to
speak
to
what
is
in
the
application
for
the
city
of
athens,
taking
on
a
dora,
and
I
believe
that
currently
in
the
state
of
ohio,
there
are
it's
greater
than
35
cities.
B
B
It
was
working
just
fine
that
there
were
no
negative
incidents
that
have
occurred
within
their
dora
and
I
think
another
notable
city,
that's
comparable
to
the
city
of
athens,
is
oxford.
Ohio
home
to
miami
university
of
ohio
also
has
a
dora
and
has
had
it
for
some
time.
Marietta,
I
believe,
is
the
most
recent
to
put
the
application
through
the
department
of
commerce.
B
It's
a
department
of
commerce
that
has
the
final
authority
to
approve
the
designated
outdoor
refreshment
areas.
So
there
is
a
a
path
in
which
something
would
have
to
follow
with
my
initiating
it
council,
taking
it
up
and
hopefully
adopting,
and
then
it
goes
through
the
department
of
commerce
and
works
that
path.
So
I'm
going
to
pass
this
over
to
jessica
thomas,
who
has
worked
very
closely
with
a
number
of
people
to
include
danny
underhill,
the
executive
director
for
the
athens
county
chamber
of
commerce
so
jessica.
C
C
It's
a
pretty
simple
process.
The
commerce
has
put
state
or
department
of
commerce
is
put
together,
but
it
primarily
just
me
leaves
it
in
local
authorities
hands.
We
can
come
in
and
look
at
an
area
that
we
think
would
be
benefited
from
adding
some
vibrancy
with
some
more
activity,
some
gathering
making
it
a
more
social
atmosphere,
gathering
all
the
information
which
is
pretty
easily
spelled
out
in
the
I
sent
one
of
the
documents
to
everyone
just
if
they
wanted
to
look
over
it.
C
C
We
talked
immediately.
This
would
be
a
summer
thing.
There
are
some
around
the
state
they
all
pretty
much
run
the
same,
but
when
they're
open
it
changes
a
little
bit
and
that's
one
of
the
pluses
of
the
dora
as
as
a
local
authority,
you
can
change
that
and
open
and
close
it.
The
service
safety
director
can
make
that
decision.
C
The
dates
we
thought
worked
best
for
athens
were
post-graduation
pre-move-ins,
so
may
7th
to
august
15th
thereabouts
depending
on
the
year.
Obviously,
that
gives
us
our
summer
crowd.
Our
summer.
Quiet
down
streets
are
a
little
quieter
plenty
of
parking
all
that
good
stuff,
but
kind
of
opens
it
up
to
make
it
just
a
really
local
casual
social
feel
of
town.
C
It's
a
pretty
pretty
interesting
concept
when
I
saw
it
in
marietta,
I
thought
it
was
really
wild
and
I
thought
it
was
really
fun,
but
basically
anyone
with
a
liquor
permit
would
be
able
to
be
included.
They
would
sell
a
drink
in
a
simple
cup.
It
would
be
labeled
stickered
printed
whatever
you
do
and
you
can
only
drink
in
that
cup.
You
know
just
the
drink
from
that
establishment.
C
You
can
take
it
out
on
the
streets.
You
can
walk
up
and
down.
You
can
go
to
a
non-liquor
establishment
if
they
have
a
a
sign
that,
in
our
minds,
is
like
the
traffic
signal
of
a
green
you
can
go
in
and
out
of
places
retail
other
non-liquor
serving
restaurants
hang
out,
eat
food
there
shop,
you
know
whatever
you're
going
to
do
we're
hoping
this
will
spur
just
some
more
seating
and
things
parklets
uptown
that
we
could
just
kind
of
have
hangout
areas.
C
We've
discussed
a
few,
maybe
ideas
for
that
places
that
sell
it
would
have
a
different
color
just
to
signify
that
you
can
buy
a
door
a
drink
and
they
want
to
participate
it's
up
to
each
individual
individual
business
and
we
would
be
touching
base
with
all
of
them
saying
yes,
they
want
to
or
do
not
and
then
the
red
would
say.
If
you
don't
want
to
participate,
then
you
know
no
one
is
obligated
to
it's.
Basically,
the
simplest
way
is
that
all
laws
are
in
place,
except
for
open
container
within
our
boundaries.
C
During
the
times
that
we
have
set,
we
would
have
boundary
signs
that
would
indicate
when
you're
inside
the
boundaries
and
that
you
cannot
take
alcohol
beyond
that
boundary
yeah.
The
mayor
mentioned
oxford,
has
one
marietta
is
currently
finishing
theirs
and
putting
theirs
in
place.
Chillicothe
powell
bowling
green
kent
akron,
I
think
toledo,
even
there's
a
lot
and
several
college
towns
and
they're
all
you
know,
looking
at
the
maps
relatively
close
to
campuses
and
it's
summertime,
and
most
of
them
are
doing
it
when
the
students
aren't
around,
and
it's
just
pretty
interesting
idea.
C
We
want
to
really
attract
people
into
athens
and
uptown
from
the
hocking
hills
in
the
summer,
and
we
had
a
lot
last
summer,
and
this
is
another
thing
that
people
are
going
to
talk
about
if
we
can
get
this
kind
of
moving
along
and
in
place
for
the
uptown
area,
that's
the
basics
of
it.
I
kind
of
wanted
to
leave
plenty
of
time
just
for
everyone
to
ask
as
many
questions
as
they
wanted
to
get
in.
I
feel
like
there
might
be
a
few
thank.
E
C
We
are
definitely
not
thinking
late
night,
we're
not
thinking
like
younger
people
necessarily
out
late
during
those
dates,
thursday
5
to
10
saturday,
sunday
or
friday,
saturday
noon
to
10
sunday
12
to
8..
So
it
would
definitely
be
geared
more
towards
what
we
expect
to
be
more
an
older
adult
crowd,
families
that
maybe
are
just
uptown
and
we're
going
to
continue
exploring
ideas
that
can
be
added
on
down
the
line.
C
That
would
make
it
not
a
just
hang
out
and
drink
on
a
sidewalk,
which
I
think
a
lot
of
people
would
get
bored
of
pretty
quickly,
but
to
make
it
more
of
a
social
gathering
aspect.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
research
just
yet
on
it.
You
know,
marietta
is
still
finishing
in
oxford,
just
started
last
the
ones
that
are
most
comparable
to
us.
So
those
are
things
we
want
to
reach
out
and
find
out.
F
C
C
So
that's
where
you
could
call
police
or
you
could
call
you
know,
tell
them
you
just
have
to
leave
none.
I
don't
imagine
that's
going
to
be
a
huge
issue
earlier
in
the
day,
not
a
lot
of
people
that
maybe
are
going
to
push
their
way
into
places.
I
mean
we
hope
I
don't
think
it's.
I
don't
see
it
being
a
a
big
issue,
but
you
know
it's
something:
we'd
have
to
talk.
We
could
call
around
and
see
if
anyone's
had
that
as
a
problem.
C
You
know
we
want
to
get
more
of
the
mid
to
late
20
people
that
want
to
live
and
stay
in
athens
and
grow
our
community,
and
these
are
things
they
really
want
to
see
in
the
communities
that
they
live
in.
You
know,
if
you
go
to
a
short
north
or
an
area
like
that
with
a
gallery
hop.
There's
things
like
that,
you
can
add
on
down
the
line
that
will
really
add
to
it.
Also.
C
C
F
C
Yeah,
we
can
definitely
expand.
You
know
by
having
more
parklets.
I
can
you
know,
there's
some
sit-down
restaurants
that
didn't
do
apartment
last
year,
because
it
wasn't
necessarily
beneficial
because
they
couldn't
have
alcohol
on
the
sidewalks
and
they
couldn't
have.
You
know
people
drinking,
but
would
they
do
this?
This
is
a
way
better
way
for
them
to
use
a
parklet,
yeah
and
there'd
still
be
limits
on
the
number
of
spaces
taken
up.
Some
of
that
you
know,
might
have
wiggle
room,
but
there's
a
there's.
C
A
G
C
So
they
are
not
road
closures
and
that
is
from
the
auva
perspective,
largely
one
of
the
perfect
parts
about
it.
We
have
a
lot
of
talks
over
the
years
of
people
thinking
you
know,
pedestrian
areas
would
be
great.
It
doesn't
very
often
come
from
the
business
community
or
the
people
that
live
in
those
areas,
and
this
is
kind
of
a
perfect
cross
section
where
you
have
the
the
social
aspect
of
the
of
the
outdoors
wandering
and
strolling
and
drinking.
But
you
also
then
maintain
traffic.
All
doors
maintain
normal
traffic
patterns.
C
Okay
legacy
street
events
would
still
be
able
to
take
place.
You
know
boogie
on
the
bricks
wouldn't
be
affected.
Last
call
all
of
those
you
can
shift
around
within
your
dora,
but
traffic
would
be
maintained.
I
mean
I
don't
know
that
there
have
been
any
accidents
or
that
there
haven't
been.
I
I
think
it's
early
enough
in
the
evening.
I
don't
think
it's
been
a
problem
that
I'm
aware
of.
C
H
Grace,
thank
you,
president
nicely
jessica.
Thanks
for
all
the
information
that
you
sent
in
advance,
I
enjoyed
reading
through
everything
on
the
drive.
It
really
was
informative
and
provided
a
lot
of
information
and,
and
thanks
for
being
here
tonight,
I
think
that
encouraging
more
sort
of
outdoor
social,
walk
and
visit
and
check
out
our
local
shops
and
restaurants
and
businesses
is
is
absolutely
something
we
we
want
to
encourage
and
just
some
of
the
comments
as
far
as
concern
about
behavior
or
crowd.
I
Council
member
fall,
thank
you.
You
talked
about
going
down
to
depot
and
such
and
I'm
wondering
how
you
know:
food
food
vending
food
carts,
one
one
of
the
broom
fest
week,
things
were
was
in
the
depot
parking
lot
and
that
seemed
to
really
really
work
and
I'm
wondering
how
food
and
beer
carts
are
going
to
be
worked
because
they
kind
of
have
a
different
licensing.
So
thank
you.
I
think
that
the
idea
is
awesome.
I
agree
with
you
know.
Sarah
and
the
adult
beverage
doesn't
mean
that
you're
going
to
be.
C
C
Really
there
wouldn't
be
any
other
food
trucks
or
carts
or
or
anything
that
would
really
come
into
play
with
it.
It's
going
to
be
along
the
boundaries.
If
the
food
trucks
you
know,
if
the
burrito
buggy
or
whatever,
if
they
are
up
there,
you
know
they
could
get
food
and
wander
with
that
they're
not
really
confined
by
space
already,
but
it
can
be
definitely
turned
off
and
on
so
it
doesn't
affect.
C
You
know,
brew
events
that
are
going
on
already
and
then
one
thing
I
actually
was
reading
today,
just
as
ways
to
monitor
were
things
that
some
places
use
wristbands
and
the
day
that
you
get
your
first
drink.
You've
got
a
wristband
so
that,
when
you're
out
on
the
street,
it's
very
clear
that
you
are
participating
in
the
dora
that
you
are
following
the
rules
and
that
they
can
easily
see.
A
Okay,
do
we
have
any
final
comments
or
questions
from
council
members
or
administration?
I
do
want
to
give
a
moment
for
a
summary,
and
I
want
to
give
a
moment
if
there
are
any
questions
from
our
attendees
looks
like
we've
got
ben
ziff
council
members.
If
then,
the
mayor,
then
we'll
turn
to
the
any
comments
from
our
attendees.
J
J
B
So
a
couple
of
things
as
I
was
listening
to
the
questions
coming
from
council
members
number
one
is
that
I
did
mention
that
I
spoke
to
the
mayor
of
chillicothe
and
he
seemed
to
feel
that
it
was
benefiting
downtown
chillicothe
to
the
point
that
they
have
revised
theirs.
They
have
amended
their
actual
dora
to
include
other
areas
in
the
downtown
area,
expanded
it
and
again.
B
Mayor
luke
feeney
did
not
indicate
to
me
that
they
had
experienced
any
problems
with
dora,
in
other
words
excessive
drinking
or
other
things
going
on.
So
that's
number
one
number
two
absolutely
the
parklets
will
be.
I
think
something
that
I
believe
that,
within
the
number
of
of
parklets,
that
that
andrew
chicky,
the
service
deputy
service
safety
director
has
identified
that
could
go
in
the
uptown
area,
finding
the
right
locations
that
we
may
see
an
expansion
of
parklets,
which
fits
well
with
adora.
B
B
I
don't
want
to
have
to
deal
with
that,
and
so
they
would
have
a
red
sticker
which
would
indicate
that
they're
not
participating
in
the
dora.
So
well
I
mean
they're
going
to
be
in
the
dora
footprint.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
share
real
quick,
if
I
may
president
nicely,
because
I
think
this
is
important
for
the
viewing
audience
to
see
those
who
are
tuning
in
tonight.
If
I
could
just
share
screen
really
quickly-
and
I
know
we're
operating
on
a
time
crunch-
can
council
see
that
okay.
B
Yes,
good
all
right,
so
what
you're
looking
at
is
the
map
that
would
be
in
the
application,
and
that
is
the
boundaries
of
the
dora
and
you'll.
Make
note
in
particular
that
congress
is
not
in
the
dora,
nor
is
college
street,
but
carpenter
state,
washington,
union
and,
as
was
mentioned
union
all
the
way
down
to
depot
and
station,
and
that
is
because
we
do
have
athens
in
court
and
to
allow
for
them.
A
Thank
you
and
very
quickly,
so
this
is
part
of
an
application
process.
We
would
need
to
advertise
in
the
newspaper.
The
ordinance
would
need
to
come
forward.
It
would
need
to
have
the
three
readings
and
we
are
intent
on
having
those
three
readings
that
we
get
adequate
notice
in
public
and
then
I
would
like
to
see
if
any
of
our
attendees
tonight,
if
you
would
indicate
by
raising
your
hand
if
you
wanted
to
make
a
comment
or
ask
a
question.
K
Good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
all
for
taking
time
to
take
this
up
and
a
special
thanks
to
jessica
thomas
for
taking
the
time
to
present
this
to
council
in
shorts
as
the
chamber
of
commerce
support
of
this
measure
and
think
that
it
is
important
to
continue
to
drive
additional
revenue
and
business
into
the
uptown
area,
not
just
from
young
professionals
that
you
hope
to
attract
and
stay
here,
but
also
from
the
tourists
who
will
be
coming
to
this
area.
Thanks
to
some
of
the
economic
developments
and
the
outdoor
recreation
that
is
happening.
K
A
L
L
By
passing
this
resolution,
and
just
to
in
case
you're,
not
aware
power
clean
future
ohio,
they
are
working
with
cities
and
governments
across
the
state
of
ohio
to
really
work
towards
our
future,
our
our
clean
energy
and
future,
and
it
does
provide
a
lot
of
tools
and
resources
that
the
city
can
utilize,
in
particular,
towards
carbon
reduction,
and
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
the
entire
resolution.
You
all
can
do
that,
and
maybe
we
will
when
it
is
at
regular
council.
L
But
I
will
note
that
this
resolution
would
not
only
authorize
the
city
to
participate
in
power
clean
future
ohio,
but
it
would
also
recognize
the
city
as
a
bronze
level
powered
clean,
future
community
and
section.
One
of
the
resolution
would
commit
the
city
to
a
goal
of
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
working
with
the
office
of
the
mayor.
L
G
L
So
it's
slightly
different
than
what
we're
doing
here
with
2010
levels
and
there's
lots
of
reasons
to
do
that
and
why
the
federal
government
is
doing
that
and
why
power
clean
future
ohio
and
why
the
city,
but
anyway
just
so
we
know
this
is
2010
levels,
50
below
2010
levels
by
2030.,
good
question
here:
good
comment,
member
cloudflare,
anyone
else.
Yes,
members,
medley.
E
Remember
crowl:
this
is
just
a
more
of
a
comment
just
to
connect
this
proposal
to
previous
discussion
and
any
other
environmental
proposal
or
resolution
that
we
passed.
It
does
state
here
that
the
city
for
speaking
about
the
dora
that
the
service
safety
director
can
establish
the
type
of
cup
that's
used,
and
I
would
hope
that
and
given
our
tendency
to
be
more
environmentally
friendly,
if
the
door
would
proceed
that
we
pick
a
very
easily
disposable,
environmentally
friendly
cup.
L
I
I
B
B
I
I
felt
knowing
our
city,
knowing
our
citizens
we
can
30
to
me-
was
a
bar
too
low,
and
that's
why
I
asked
councilmember
crowl
to
change
that
language
to
read
50
by
30..
I
also
had
asked
the
clerk
of
council
some
time
ago
if
she
would
pull
all
resolutions
or
and
or
ordinances
that
had
anything
to
do
with
the
climate
and
I'm
proud
of
this
city.
B
I
mean
there's
a
lot
that
has
already
been
done,
a
lot
that
has
been
initiated,
everything
from
the
green
fleet,
which
was
an
ordinance
to
a
number
of
resolutions,
as
was
mentioned
by
councilmember,
fall
and
and
others
is
that
I
am
a
firm
believer
that
we
can.
We
can
meet
and
likely
exceed
50
by
30.
L
L
L
So
we
were
looking
at
the
greenhouse
gas
admissions
connected
with
those
three
areas
you
can
get
into
agriculture.
You
can
get
into
all
types
of
different
areas
which
are
much
harder
and
I
think
it'll
be
nice
to
have
a
consultant
that
is
dedicated
to
figuring
some
of
this
out,
but
I
think
we're
going
to
learn
a
lot
through
the
process.
Remember
eisner,
okay,
question
at
all:
it's
it's!
The
actual
answer
is
it's
in
metric
metric
tons.
F
F
F
E
L
L
B
It
councilmember
eisner
is
is
basically
as
easy
as
looking
at
our
energy
consumption
for
all
84
of
our
mercantile
accounts
for
the
city
and
if
we've
switched
over
everything
to
led
lighting
and
notice,
our
electric
bill
has
dropped
down
that
electric
bill,
that'll
that
that
the
rate
of
consumption
of
electricity
reflects
our
carbon
footprint
and
therefore
to
use
that
as
one
of
several
metrics
to
sit
and
say
this
is
how
well
we're
doing
or
not.
The
same
holds
true.
You
know.
B
Six
years
ago
we
didn't
have
an
electric
vehicle
to
be
found
in
the
city
and
by
migrating
our
fossil
fuel
fleet
over
to
evs.
That's
another
metric
that
can
be
used
based
upon
the
fact
that
we
are
not
literally
burning
the
fossil
fuel
to
run
our
vehicles
on
our
city
streets.
So
there's
several
things
that
can
be
used
as
our
metric.
L
G
I
was
just
wondering
if
the
way
it's
kind
of
related
to
measurement
if
the
measurements
of
the
greenhouse
gas
emission
reductions
take
into
account
anything
related
to
carbon
or
carbon
or
greenhouse
gas
sequestration.
So
if
we
plant
more
trees
in
the
city
or
we
put
in
more
long
rooted
perennial
flowers
or
you
know
other
things
like
that,
will
will
that
be
counted
to
offset
some
of
the
emissions
or
or
do
you
know
if
that's
part
of
the
equation.
I
I
want
to
point
out
that
a
lot
of
these
programs
that
we're
starting
on
are
going
to
include
audits
and
so
they're
going
to
audit
the
systems.
Just
like
we're
doing
with
our
audit
of
electric
vehicles,
then
you
know
we
have
concrete
data
that
the
audit
has
collected
and
then
benchmarks
to
go
forward
to
be
able
to
match
the
goals
of
50
by
30
with
the
benchmarks
we
need
to
get
to
before
30..
I
L
Remember
fall,
you're,
absolutely
right
and,
and
the
the
knowing
where
you
are
in
order
to
improve
is,
is
obviously
key
and
we
do
have
a
2015
benchmark
within
the
environment
and
sustainability.
Commission.
But
again
it
didn't
include
everything.
We
hope
that
the
consultant
will
work
with
the
city
to
get
a
more
exact
sort
of
baseline
from
2020.
L
B
Not
a
question,
we
also
have
the
performance
or
perfection
group
that
came
forward
with
an
audit
of
the
city
in
2011,
so
we
there
is
data
that
exists,
that
we
can
fall
back
on
and
say.
This
is
what
our
emissions
were
back
then,
because,
as
we
went
worked
with
that
group,
we
were
kind
of
treating
things
a
la
carte,
but
even
then
we
were
changing
lights
over
to
t8s,
which
now
we
have
led
so
yeah.
I
Great,
thank
you
just
two
agenda
items.
We
have
a
historic
properties
process
that
you
can
go
through
in
order
to
designate
your
property
as
a
historic
property.
The
code
office
and
the
planner
would
like
to
see
a
fee
associated
with
that.
When
the
pros
first
ordinance
went
through
with
the
with
the
process,
there
was
no
fee
associated
with
it.
This
would
put
in
a
70
fee
that
would
go
in
our
code
chapter,
one
that
all
our
fees
now
go
into
questions.
I
F
I
There,
yes,
I
think
that
that's
a
good
point
and
it's
a
good
thing
for
the
administration
to
think
about.
Thank
you.
So
any
other
questions,
great.
The
next
agenda
item
our
word,
one
council,
member,
brought
it
forward
so
I'll
hand
it
over
to
her.
So
thank
you,
council,
member,
it's
medley!
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
member
fall.
First,
I
wanted
to
give
some
quick
thanks
before
we
get
back
into
this
conversation.
I
wanted
to
thank
law
director,
lisa
eliason,
president
nisly
clerk
of
counsel,
w
walker,
peggy
lee,
who
you
all
heard
from
a
few
weeks
ago
from
southeast
ohio,
legal
services
and
jody
ricard
of
athens.
Metro
housing
who's
also
been
helping
behind
the
scenes
on
this
lots
of
learning
on
my
part
in
researching
from
my
colleagues,
even
as
rece
as
recently
as
this
afternoon.
E
So
we
are
specifically
adding
source
of
income
to
section
c
of
that
ordinance
which
which
focuses
on
discrimination
and
housing
and
and
there's
like
a
laundry
list
of
groups
that
we
are
that
the
ordinance
already
has
it
that
encompasses
people
who
you
can't
discriminate
against
and,
as
I'm
sure,
you've
seen
in
the
ordinance.
It
includes
creed,
color,
sex,
sexual
orientation,
gender
identity,
expression
and
so
on.
Someone
with
a
disability,
the
familial
status
and
again
what
we're
doing
is
adding
source
of
income
to
that
list
of
groupings.
E
E
The
second
update
is
that
we
spoke
to
our
new
insurance
carrier
to
confirm
that
they
would
in
fact
defend
us
if
we
were
to
face
a
challenge
or
a
loss
or
civil
suit
of
some
kind,
and
they
confirmed
that
they
would
indeed,
so
that
was
good
information
and
lastly,
during
our
the
third
update,
is,
is
about
the
penalty
section.
Last
time,
when
we
discussed
this,
there
were
some
questions
about.
E
So
that's
how
it
is
now
we
could
leave
it,
as
is
that's
the
way
it's
always
been
and,
like
I
said
this
ordinance
has
been
in
existence
protecting
other
folks
we're
just
adding
sources
of
income,
so
we
can
leave
it.
As
is
option.
Two
would
be
to
make
a
few
modifications,
namely,
is
to
clarify
the
degree
of
the
misdemeanor
right
now.
E
Option
two
would
be
in
most
in
line
with
a
higher
revised
code,
and
currently
the
state
is
in
the
process
of
doing
something
similar
of
what
we're
doing
they
are
proposing
to
add
to
their
fair
housing
law,
a
line
in
there
that
would
include
a
source
of
income
as
well
and
and
the
penalty
associated
with
that.
That
revision
keeps
it
as
a
civil
penalty.
E
It
would
make
subsequent
effects
offenses
in
a
two-year
period
a
higher
offense.
It
would
also
include
jail
time
and
higher
fines,
and
that's
outlined
in
your
drive
and
based
on
the
conversations
that
I
have
with
law.
Director,
elias
and
option.
Three
would
not
be
recommended
because
it's
not
in
line
with
the
wire
revised
code.
F
E
Yeah,
that's
my
understanding
and
that's
the
caveat
is
the
amendment
that
I
mentioned,
that
is
adding
source
of
income.
It
was
only
recently
introduced,
so
I
guess
of
option
four
might
be
to
table
the
penalty
discussion
until
after
ohio
passes
and
finalizes
its
amendments,
but
going
ahead
and
including
source
of
income
to
the
other
sections.
I
I'm
not
I'm
not
100
sure
whether
we
would
want
to
table
just
one
section,
because
then
we'd
have
to
go
and
amend
the
new
ordinance,
so
we
just
tabled
the
whole
thing.
I
I
think
that
makes
the
most
sense
from
a
administrative
point
of
view.
Instead
of
going
ahead
with
the
ordinance
and
leaving
out
the
penalty
to
come
back
to
after
we
passed
the
ordinance
and
reintroduce
another
ordinance,
so
I
think
we
just
we
need
to
table
the
whole
thing
or
so.
A
Well,
and
let
me
suggest
another
option,
because
sometimes
we
have
seen
legislation
language
at
the
state
legislature
for
a
year
or
more,
and
we
have
a
recommendation
from
the
law
director
to
go
with
option.
Three:
that's
closest
to
the
ohio,
revised
code
penalty
option
two,
so
we
could
go
with
that,
get
the
legislation
passed.
If
we
need
to
amend
later
we
could.
You
know
if
there
was
the
will
of
the
council
to
amend
later
to
make
it
in
line
with
something
the
legislature
might
change.
H
But
but
if
our
penalty
is
lower,
then
the
state,
if
the
state
would
put
in
in
place
a
harsher
penalty
it
could
that
could
always
still
be
the
one
that
is
chosen
locally.
So
if
that
makes
sense,
so
I
guess
I'm.
I
am
agreeing
with
with
president
nicely
that
we
we
should
probably,
I
would
say,
follow
the
law
director's
recommendation
and
then
either
we
could
change
our
local
code
to
match.
If
the
state
does
change
or
if
the
state
changes
it,
it
could
always
be
enforced
under
orc
rather
than
local
code.
E
B
E
J
Thank
you,
remember
smedley.
I
just
wanted
to
first
off
just
thank
you
for
pursuing
this.
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
thing
to
add
into
our
ordinances.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
all
this
work
and
research
and
putting
in
the
time
and
effort
of
it
on
this.
I
also
yeah,
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
sort
of
tag
on,
and
I
guess
agree
with
president
nicely.
J
E
I
L
Thank
you,
president
eisley.
First
on
our
agenda
tonight
is
arts,
west
and
structural
repairs.
If
you
are
not
aware,
the
public
is
not
aware
that
a
person
in
an
automobile
fleeing
law
enforcement
was
going
at
a
high
rate
of
speed
west
on
west
union
and
failed
to
navigate
the
curve
at
arts
west
and
struck
the
building.
L
We
should
have
more
information
by
our
next
meeting
in
terms
of
actual
estimates
for
the
repairs,
but
we
do
need
to
appropriate
this
money,
asap
and
I'll.
Just
say
that
I
was
able
to
be
at
arts
west
this
past
weekend
for
their
I'm
not
sure
what
it
was
called
pots
and
plants
and
presents-
and
it
was
great,
emily
beveridge
did
a
wonderful
job
and
then
my
my
son
found
his
mother
a
wonderful
mother's
day,
present
and
great
people
and
really
well
done
event.
L
G
F
D
L
L
This
position
was
initially
included
in
the
2019
staffing
levels,
but
was
never
hired.
So
there
is
not
there
aren't
funds
appropriated
for
this
position.
Currently
the
office
thought
that
we
would
discuss
this
at
committee
and
then
request
the
appropriation
once
everything
had
been
finalized.
The
position
description
is
in
council's
drive.
L
L
Vacancy
okay,
seeing
now
we'll
go
on
to
the
next
item,
which
is
the
lease
agreement
with
the
united
seniors
of
athens
county.
I
think
most
of
council
is
aware
that
the
for
some
time
now
I
don't
know
exactly
how
long
it
could
be
decades.
The
united
states
space
within
the
athens
community
center
for
their
office
and
their
gatherings,
and
this
would
be
a
an
extension
of
that
leased
agreement
for
a
period
of
10
years
from
I
believe,
august
of
2021
through,
I
believe,
december
of
2031.
L
L
These
are
added,
if
I
understand
correctly,
to
every
department
within
the
city,
the
ordinance
that
established
the
specific
allocation
amounts
for
each
department
came
from
2015
and
the
the
internal
service
fund
pays
for
vehicles
and
equipment
and
I.t
equipment,
etc,
and
so
it
is
important
to
update
this
and
make
sure
that
the
specific
allocation
from
each
department
is
correct,
based
on
their
the
the
equipment
and
vehicles.
They
have
and
understand
that
the
vehicles
is
kind
of
set.
L
It's
a
it's
a
relatively
easy
thing
to
track,
but
you
can
imagine
that
I
t
equipment
and
different
types
of
equipment
are
used
in
offices
and
added,
obviously,
since
2015
and
keeping
track
of
all
of
those
numbers
and
how
these
applications
should
be
updated
is
what
the
auditor's
office
is
looking
to
update,
and
so
that
is
what
we
were
looking
at
next
week.
Auditor
heck
is
there
anything
I
missed
there,
or
can
you
explain
that
better.
D
Oh,
I
just
I
don't
know
if
anybody
has
any
questions
about
any
of
it,
we
are
required
to
have
this
process
in
place,
which
includes
a
policy
plus
the
the
funds
that
transfer
money
from
either
to
a
to
the
internal
service
fund
or
to
the
general
fund
for
services,
and
the
only
thing
that
I
would
like
to
add.
Besides
we've
we've
asked
to
change
those
numbers,
it's
pretty
straightforward.
What
we're
trying
to
do
the
other
part
would
have
to
do
with
how
often
these
are
reviewed.
D
D
You
know
we'd
like
to
put
a
review
schedule
in
place
and
probably
have
it
match
up,
because
it
does
make
a
difference,
and
we
do
have
to
be
accountable
for
the
money
that
we
transfer
from
proprietary
funds
into
other
funds
and
in
particular,
really
all
funds
should
be
held
accountable.
But
you
know
we.
We
looked
at
different
things
about
we've
added
a
few,
but
also
things
that
have
changed
but
yeah.
D
So
it's
you
know,
that's
a
lot
of
leeway,
and
now
one
and
the
other
one's
pretty
specific,
so
we'd
like
to
you
know,
put
some
language
out
there
and
then,
if
council
wants
to
question
it,
it
can
be
a
lot
of.
It
won't
change
very
much,
and
if
you
have
an
extra
computer
here
and
there
that's
not
going
to
change
those
percentages,
it's
not
worth
going
through
a
whole
process
but
same
with
a
vehicle.
D
The
number
of
vehicles
doesn't
change,
but
sometimes
it
does,
and
that
makes
a
difference
in
how
much
these
funds
and
departments
have
to
transfer
that
money.
So
we
we
have
some
samples
and
we've
sent
information
to
debbie.
So
unless
you
have
any
questions,
that's
about
all,
I
can
tell
you
right
now.
A
F
F
D
That
I
don't
know
that
would
be
up
to
it
to
come
up
with
a
plan
or
a
program.
I
I
wouldn't
know
where
to
start
with
something
like
that,
I'm
not
an
I.t
person,
and
so
what
we've
done
really
by
what
we
do
with
the
cost
allocation
process,
is
big
items
that
we
that
we
can
track
and
and
just
use
those
you
know
well.
F
It'd
be
analogous
to
the
amount
of
electricity
each
department
would
use.
You
have
a
meter,
the
meter
runs,
you
go,
oh
that's
how
many
kilowatt
hours
they
did
it's.
It
is
absolutely
possible
and
it's
done
all
the
time
I
mean.
Certainly
spectrum.
Does
it
they
meter
how
much
data
flows
going
into
my
computer
all
the
time
and
then
I
don't
know
it,
but
they
then
turn
the
dial
somewhere
and
they
say
you're
using
too
much.
I'm
going
to
turn
you
back,
oh
you're,
not
using
much
at
all.
D
F
D
D
Yeah
we've
we've
been
asking
for
help
with
this.
That's
not
really
something
my
office
can
do
is
to
figure
that
out
the
reason
we
have
an
easy
way
to
get
the
vehicles
and
equipment
like
lawn
mowers,
and
things
like
that
is
they
have.
They
have
a
system,
the
iwork
system
that
they
use
all
their
information
is
in
there
that
can
be
pulled
out,
and
then
we
can
use
that.
Otherwise,
we
don't
know
you
know
what
gets
serviced
on
a
regular
basis
or
you
know.
D
L
L
The
first
one
is
a
valve
exercise,
exerciser
machine
for
the
water
department.
You
if
this
rings
a
bell
to
you
means
you're
on
council
last
year
we
discussed
this,
but
it
was.
The
machine
was
not
purchased
due
to
taking
careful,
keeping
being
very
careful
with
our
budget,
but
it
is
a
machine
that
is
now
needed.
This
is
a
machine
that
is
90
000
and
it
does
exactly
what
a
valve
exerciser
does
it
sort
of
safely
turns
valves
on
and
off
and
creates
them
and
and
enables
them
not
to
get?
L
L
L
L
L
G
G
She
said:
new
legislation
is
needed
for
the
west
union
street
project
project
322
an
authorization
and
appropriation
of
100
000
is
needed
from
account
220
to
cover
right-of-way
acquisition
services.
Since
the
project
contains
federal
funds,
the
city
needs
to
contract,
with
an
ohio
department
of
transportation,
approved
right-of-way
acquisition
firm.
That
will
follow
the
federal
right-of-way
acquisition
process.
G
The
fee
does
not
include
funds
for
the
actual
easements.
These
will
be
known
later
after
appraisals
are
completed.
If
the
easements
aren't
donated,
which
is
always
a
good
option.
The
cost
for
the
right-of-way
acquisition
firm,
includes
meetings,
negotiations,
appraisals
and
closings
for
each
parcel
identified
for
an
easement.
G
It
is
typical
for
this
work
to
be
directly
hired
through
a
design
consultant,
but
in
this
case
they
offered
to
remove
it
from
their
contract,
so
the
city
avoids
paying
additional
fees.
So
that
is
what
I
have
at
this
point
from
jessica
adain.
I
will
try
to
either
answer
your
questions
or
find
out
the
answers
to.
L
L
G
B
There
will
be
some
lightning,
it
won't
be
extensive,
whitening
that
goes
on
on
west
union.
There
will
also
be
the
roundabout
at
the
intersection
of
shaffer
and
west
union.
That
too
will
require
some
right-of-way
expansion
so,
and
I
can
can
get
more
detail
on
what
the
west
union
project
will
entail
moving
forward.
B
E
G
I
believe,
when
there
were
some
sort
of
public
events
for
people
to
see
the
plans
for
west
union
street,
that
the
the
recent
engineer,
our
past
engineer
and
jessica
edine
were
talking
about
weenie
wednesdays,
and
they
were
considering
that
in
in
terms
of
how
to
handle
the
traffic
on
west
union.
So
you're
right,
that's
a
really
key
thing
on
the
west
side,
any
other
questions
from
council
members.
G
G
Okay.
The
second
item
is
potentially
kind
of
a
fun
one.
I
think
boone
troyer
is
the
person
that
that
created
this.
He,
of
course,
is
the
executive
director
of
the
the
tourism
and
convention
bureau
and
boone
somehow
got
about
200
or
250
motorcycle
riders
to
come
to
athens
on
june
17th
they're
going
to
be
riding
around
southeast
ohio
and
he
somehow
encouraged
them
to
come
into
athens
and
they
apparently
they're
going
to
be
here.
He
thinks
from
approximately
4
p.m,
to
7
p.m,
or
something
like
that.
I
We've
we've
had
the
vulcan
writers
association
come
a
couple
years
ago
for
one
of
their
conferences
or
rides,
I'm
not
sure
what
they
call
them.
So
this
is
following
on.
They
had
from
what
was
done
under
paige
alice.
They
really
really
loved
the
athens
area
and
so
now
they're
coming
back
again.
So
this
is
building
on
other
things
that
have
been
going
on.
We
did
close
down
the
street,
then
for
them,
and
and
did
some
other
things
because
they
were
here
for
multiple
days.
So
I
think
I
support
this.
H
Five
thousand
three
hundred
dollars
and
our
fire
department
would
like
to
give
the
all
of
this
equipment
to
the
waterloo
volunteer
fire
department.
It
is
used
equipment,
but
according
to
our
chief
rimer,
it
is
in
better
condition
than
anything
that
the
waterloo
fire
depart
volunteer.
Firefighters
have
currently,
so
we
hope
that
this
could
perhaps
benefit
another
department.
So
that
is
the
the
first
item
on
the
agenda.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
or
comments.
H
H
H
It
will
serve
the
entire
city
and
if
we
do
find
increasing
levels
of
the
cova-19
virus
in
a
particular
sample,
then
that
helps
us
to
be
forewarned
and
put
out
some
public
service
announcements
and
hopefully
help
communicate
with
the
members
of
the
community
that
they
there
may
be
increasing
infection
levels
with
some
geographic
targets.
And
so
that's
that's.
What's
really
useful
about
these
waste
water
monitoring
is.
It
gives
a
little
bit
of
advance
notice
before
too
many
infections
would
show
up
and
also
helps
it
to
be
pinpointed
to
a
particular
part
of
the
city.
B
Just
a
quick
comment
that
there
is
no
match.
This
is
100
coverage
for
this
particular
equipment
as
we
move
forward
and
as
councilmember
grace
indicated
that
what
this
does
is.
It
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
identify
increases
in
the
viral
load
in
our
wastewater
four
to
seven
days
ahead
of
actual
cases
manifesting
themselves.
B
Ohio
university
has
additional
sampling
as
well.
This
will
give
us
the
opportunity
to
put
sampling
at
the
richland
avenue,
lift
station
the
depot
lift
station
and
at
a
site
off
of
home
street.
I
believe
which
will
allow
us
to
again,
as
was
indicated,
isolate
where
outbreaks
may
be
occurring
before
they
actually
occur,
and
for
us
to
message
out
to
the
city
to
take
extra
caution
in
different
sectors
in
the
city
of
athens.
So
this
is
a
great
opportunity.
Again.
There
is
no
cost
on
the
city
side,
there's
no
match
from
the
city.
H
A
Councilmember
grace
we'll
move
on
to
our
special
session.
Now
the
first
item
is
being
establishing
a
quorum
and
all
members
of
council
are
present.
I
have
a
series
of
ordinances
for
a
third
reading.
The
first
one
is
4621,
an
ordinance
amending
athens,
c
code,
title
37,
landscaping,
regulations,
and
this
is
introduced
by
councilmember
paul.
I
This
updates
our
landscaping
ordinance
that
we
require
when
commercial
commercial
development
is
occurring.
It
puts
in
new
definitions
that
are
absent
in
the
legislation
as
it
stands.
Currently,
it
expands
the
use
and
requirement
of
native
species
use
in
different
plantings.
It
also
outlaws
the
use
of
hazardous
noxious
or
invasive
species,
as
outlined
by
the
state.
I
A
I
A
The
motion
carries
in
the
ordinances
approved
ordinance.
47-21
is
an
ordinance
of
ending
athens
city
code,
title
13,
general
offenses,
chapter
13.07,
miscellaneous
offenses,
to
add
section,
thirteen
point:
zero,
seven
point:
zero,
six
point:
one
litter
and
a
men's
six
section.
Thirteen
point:
zero:
seven
point:
zero:
seven
citation
this
is
introduced
by
council
member
fall.
A
I
Okay,
thank
you.
I
feel
like
I'm
freezing
here.
This
is
sometimes
when
you
change
one
ordinance,
some
of
the
other
things
don't
work
out
through
the
process
to
be
logically
where
they
live
now,
and
so
this
is
moving
litter
outside
of
the
other
ordinances
and
putting
it
where
it
makes
the
most
sense.
I
A
H
G
A
Oh,
thank
you,
member
eisner,
and
with
that
we
are
going
to
take
the
vote.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved
right
goodness.
49-21
is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
title
1,
general
provisions
to
include
lands,
the
landscaping
permit
fees
introduced
by
council
member
fall.
I
I
F
I
Can
I
can
I
take
us
a
special
second
for
this
now
that
that
we
have
an
official
in
30
days
celebration
tree
program.
I
would
like
to
challenge
people
to
find
ways
of
celebrating
people
that
are
special.
Who
may
have
touched
you,
especially
over
the
coved
time,
and
I'm
going
to
do
the
first
buy
for
the
serum
for
the
celebration
tree
to
celebrate
two
people
who
were
instrumental
in
a
lot
of
environmental
stuff
that
the
city
has
done.
We've
we've
lost
not
only
john
nause,
but
also
mason
chambers.
I
A
A
Any
questions
or
comments
from
council
members,
elected
officials
or
our
attendees
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
oppose
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved
burdens.
51
21
is
an
ordinance
of
her
affirming
the
disposal
of
certain
fire
department
equipment
no
longer
needed
for
a
municipal
purpose,
and
this
is
introduced
by
council
member
grace.
H
You
member
fall
and,
as
the
title
states,
we
are
affirming
that
the
the
fire
department
is
authorized
to
dispose
of
equipment
that
it
no
longer
needs,
and
this
is
different
equipment
than
was
mentioned
in
in
committee.
Just
previously,
this
equipment
is
a
cutter
package,
a
ram
package,
spreader
package
and
a
supply
adapter,
and
this
particular
equipment
was
replaced
by
a
manufacturer
with
like
but
better
equipment,
and
so
this
was
this
particular
batch
was
no
longer
needed
by
our
department.

Yes,.
G
Two
quick
things:
one
just
an
update,
as
far
as
I
know,
there's
still
not
a
topic
that
they're
going
to
focus
on
yet
for
this
grant,
but
they're
really
trying
to
decide
that
so
hopefully,
by
the
next
meeting.
They'll
have
a
topic
also,
this
one,
I
don't
think,
has
to
be
an
emergency
because
the
deadline
is
june
17th
so
because
of
tonight's
special
session.
I
think
there's
plenty
of
time
to
get
this
passed.

you
all
the
very
best

I
really
am

am
excited
for
this
job.
I
will
be
working
as
a
regional
representative.
First
for

Excuse
me
for

can't
be
