Athens City Council - September 27, 2021
A
A
B
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
The
first
item
on
our
agenda
this
evening
is
a
discussion
about
the
security
key
card
access
system,
and
this
is
something
that
has
been
discussed
previously
in
committee,
but
it
has
been
several
months.
I
think
maybe
in
march,
is
when
we
last
discussed
this
and
what
we
are
considering.
What
the
city
administration
has
been
researching
and
looking
into
is
updating
all
of
our
city
locations.
I
believe
all
of
them
correct
mayor
to
have
a
keycard
access
system
there.
B
There
is
I've,
I
believe,
on
our
shared
drive,
some
information,
it's
the
contract,
as
currently
as
it
is
currently
worked
out.
There
are
some
significant
price
increases
over
what
we
discussed
in
the
spring.
I
believe
we
we
discussed
that
the
the
likely
cost
was
150
to
200
thousand
dollars
and
this
well,
let's
see
it
was.
B
C
So
this
was
something
that
came
up
probably
two
years
ago
really
when
we
started
looking
at
things
like
the
number
one,
the
security
of
all
of
our
buildings
here
in
the
city
of
athens.
You
know
I
was
really
kind
of
looking
at
some
of
the
security
or
lack
thereof
with
the
city
building
itself
and
everything
that's
housed
in
this
building.
C
But
you
know
switching
over
to
something:
that's
that
is
easier
to
switch
out
when
employees
leave.
We
can
deactivate
or
change
the
code
on
the
swipe
cards
so
that
people
so
that
we're
keeping
this
building
as
secure
as
possible
and
once
again
it's
not
just
this
building,
it's
all
the
building.
We
started.
Looking
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
we
looked
at
the
water
treatment
plant.
We
looked
at
community
center,
the
law
building
we,
the
police
department
or
the
headquarters
over
there,
the
fire
department
as
well
and
initially,
as
remember
grace,
was
saying
it
was.
C
We
were
looking
at
about
260
000
to
replace
everything.
We'd
identified,
one
of
the
subcontractors
came
through
and
identified
other
doors
in
the
city
of
athens
again
at
the
engineering
and
public
works
building
again
some
other
doors
here
as
being
doors
that
that
needed
to
be
replaced,
and
so
that,
coupled
with
the
municipal
court,
they
were
not
included
in
the
first
round
of
looking
at
things
looking
at
replacing
the
security
of
the
doors
themselves,
and
so
that
cost
has
since
gone
up
as
councilman
grace
indicated
has
gone
up
to
351
000.
C
I've
got
356
000,
but
351
000,
and
there
was
again
so
this
is.
We've
been
looking
at
this
for
a
long
time.
This
isn't
something
we
pulled
out
of
the
air
over
the
past
few
weeks
or
months
with
the
the
company
security
door,
with
the
the
companies
called
atrium
going
back
and
forth,
and
making
sure
that
the
law
director
was
comfortable
with
the
contract
itself.
C
C
B
C
Well,
all
the
exterior
doors
on
the
first
floor,
they're,
all
old,
antiquated
doors
that
again
are
not
weather
efficient.
You
know
in
terms
of
us
mitigating
energy
loss
through
those
doors,
whether
it's
in
the
summer
or
the
air
conditioning
or
during
the
winter,
with
with
heating.
So
I
mean
it's
it's
every
exterior
door
on
the
city
building
and
in
terms
of
the
second
floor,
the
numbering
of
them.
I
don't
know
what
those
you
know
numbers
correspond
to,
but
clearly
they
are
doors
that
have
been
identified
as
needing
to
have
a
security
system.
C
D
I
was
first
wanting
to
say
I
appreciate
the
attention
to
the
sustainable
sustainability
factor
here,
and
I
heard
a
couple
of
conflicting
things
from
one.
At
one
point,
I
thought
it
was
just
exterior
doors,
but
it
sounds
like
there
will
be
some
interior
doors
in
different
buildings
based
on
security
needs.
That
could
be
on
the
second
floor,
but
would
be
in
those
more
sensitive
areas.
Do
I
understand
that
correctly.
D
C
D
And
then
my
other
question
is
about
alternative
service
providers
that
caught
my
attention,
that
this
has
been
a
pretty
abrupt
price
increase
with
the
warning
that
it
can
go
up
again
by
a
little
more
if
we
wait
too
long.
So
it
concerns
me
that
it's
kind
of
pushing
us
to
take
quick
action
without
knowing
whether
there
are
other
industry
competitors
who
perhaps
aren't
anticipating
this
big
increase
as
we
transition
into
the
new
year.
Are
there
other
vendors
who've
been
considered
for
this
service.
C
C
E
A
I
did
have
a
question.
This
arises
in
my
mind,
and-
and
I
know
we
were-
we
got
some
additional
information
on
the
last
items
that
whether
or
not
a
quote
a
bid
was
needed,
and
in
this
case
is
this
one.
That
has
that
particular
circumstances
that,
since
this
is
a
particular
vendor
that
it's
not
necessary
to
have
bids
submitted
or.
C
A
So
I
do
notice
that
the
the
original
submission
was
from
july
13th
so-
and
I
understand
that
I
know
it
needed
to
go
through
review
of
the
city
review
of
the
law
director,
but
we
are
approaching
the
october
15th
deadline.
I
know
with
some
of
our
department
of
transportation
when
we
sometimes
apply.
Excuse
me
it
was
7
july
31st,
not
the
13th.
A
I
transpose
the
numbers,
but
with
some
of
ours
you
know
they're
saying
they
need
a
commitment,
and
so
I'm
assuming
that
this
quote
holds
till
october
15th
and
my
earlier
phrase
that
I
dropped
off.
Mid-Sentence
sorry
is
that,
with
some
of
our
ohio
department
of
transportation
grants
they
are
sometimes
willing
to
say
if
you
have
started
the
legislation
by
that
date
that
that's
considered
reasonable.
So
that's
my
question
with
this
fast
approaching
deadline
would
start
of
the
legislation
having
one
reading
be
sufficient.
G
G
Would
it
not
be
better
to
say
do
this
building
city
building
first
install
a
system
and
see
how
it
works
out
and
then,
if
we're
satisfied,
okay,
move
on
to
community
center
or,
however,
we
prioritize
our
buildings
move
into
it
gradually.
Now
I
know
you're
going
to
save
all
the
costs
and
so
on.
Yeah
costs
did
rise
greatly
during
covid.
I
remember
the
price
of
lumber
about
18
months
ago
was
something
like
400
dollars
a
thousand
square
feet.
Then
it
went
up
to
1600,
but
right
now,
it's
down
to
450
prices,
dropping
why?
G
B
G
G
If
there's
a
contract,
how
can
we
don't
have
a
limit
in
it?
Why
don't
we
say,
listen,
yeah,
we're
more
than
willing
to
entertain
you
guys
to
come
down
here,
but
forty
dollars
a
night.
Is
our
limit
we're
not
going
to
go
any
higher
than
that?
If
you
don't
like
the
way,
we
do
business
well
find
someone
else.
H
Thank
you,
member
grace,
I'm
certainly
in
support
of
modernizing
our
doors
and
doing
the
swipe
card.
That
is
just
a
best
practice
for
any
government
entity.
I
will
second
some
of
the
other
comments
expressed
by
my
colleagues,
although
we
may
not
be
required
to
go
to
bid
given
where
we
found
this
particular
vendor,
given
the
cost
it
just
might
be
a
good
idea
to
do
that
if
we
don't
have
comparables
at
this
point,
it
would
be
good
to
know
what
about
this
particular
vendor.
H
But
again,
if
we
didn't
go
to
bed,
we
wouldn't
necessarily
know
that
and
would
second
the
other
issue
of
expediting
the
the
process
for
the
sake
of
being
able
to
stay
within
that
total
amount,
which
is
actually
361,
318,
not
351.,
so
that's
kind
of
where
I
feel
about
it.
I
think
it's
a
good
idea,
and
I
think
it's
I
mean
there's
some
other
hr
things
that
can
happen
with
the
swiping.
H
You
know
when
people
coming
in
and
out
and
what
time
and
that
might
be
important
for
other
reasons
and
security
obviously
is
important,
but
I'd
want
to
make
sure
we're
going
with
a
vendor
that
meets
all
of
our
needs,
but
not
necessarily
at
that
cost.
If
there
are
other
vendors
out
there,
the
other
thought
that
I
had
and
which
might
provide
a
cost
savings,
we're
talking
about
adding
security
with
the
swipe
card
system,
but
then
also
replacing
doors
for
energy
efficiency
reasons.
H
F
You,
member
grace,
I
was
looking
through
the
list
of
the
buildings,
and
you
know
it's.
You
know
pretty
much
everything
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
athens,
which
is
great.
I
do
think
it's
a
good
idea.
I
think
having
swipe
cards
and
things
is
as
members
right,
they
said
best
practice,
but
I
do
definitely
have
reservations
with
us
currently
already
planning
on
building
a
new
fire
department
headquarters
a
whole
new
location.
It
seems
somewhat
unnecessary
to
then
also
now
update
the
doors
to
the
existing
fire
department
headquarters.
F
I
I
I
I
I
I
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
about
that
open-ended
piece
of
the
of
the
contract,
and
my
other
question
really
is:
is
that
standard
in
this
business?
I
mean
it'd
be
great
to
know
some
companies,
you
know
say:
hey,
let's
just
try
to
slip
in
the
whole,
the
whole
shebang
and
other
companies
say
that
we'll
do
it.
For
you
know
this
per
diem
or
some
companies
say
no,
that's
on
us
or
I'm
a
little.
You
know
this,
I
don't
know
of
companies
and
then
on
the
energy
efficiency.
I
I
also
really
appreciate
that
that
piece
of
this,
but
what
I
know
about
building
envelopes,
is
that,
if
you're
really
concerned
about
energy
efficiencies,
just
doing
doors
is
not
going
to
get
you
there.
If
your
windows
are
all
50
years
old,
then
just
securing
the
doors
is
going
to
help
a
little
bit.
I
But
if
the
windows
are
you
know
if
the
air
is
going
out,
the
windows
you're
not
getting
too
far
by
by
doing
the
doors,
and
just
in
my
thoughts
too,
to
remember
smedley's
comment
is
that
my
guess
is
because
the
doors
interact
with
the
swiping
system
that
they
probably
don't
separate
those
two
projects.
You
know
they
want
to
do
those
both.
But
again
I
don't
know
anything
about
this
industry.
It
just
seems
like
a
lot
of
money
and
it
could
be
potentially
a
lot
more
money
than
what
we're
reading
here
with
361..
B
And
I
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
think,
as
as
several
members
have
said,
I
think
this
is
a
good
idea.
I
think
this
is
the
right
direction
for
the
city
to
go,
and
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
do
everything
at
once.
Just
having
things
part
way
is
generally
more
complicated
because
then
well,
some
people
need
keys
and
well
then
they
have
to
go
to
the
other
building.
B
B
Yeah,
I
don't
see
the
government
channel
listed
so
just
like,
knowing
which
doors
are
which
and
and
I
how,
how
many
actual
doors
are
being
replaced,
how
many
of
them
are
exterior
doors?
How
many
are
interior
doors
and
how
many
is
it?
Are
they
just
adding
the
the
swipe
card
mechanism
to
existing
doors,
just.
B
So
and
and
again,
then,
oh
after
five
years
at
750
a
month,
should
we
agree
to
that
monitoring
fee
then
what
happens
we'll
have
the
system
in
place?
Do
we
have
to
have
this
monitoring
system
to
be
able
to
use
it?
Is
there
something
that
we
could
do
instead
now
or
you
know,
or
that
we
will
have
to
do
five
years
from
now?
B
D
So
I'm
curious
about
the
is
there
a
likelihood
that
the
failing
failure
of
their
technological
systems
could
result
in
a
greater
financial
cost
to
us
than
what
we
were
paying
upfront
since
that's
what
they're
saying
is
their
maximum.
So
since
we're
getting
more
information,
I
would
love
to
hear
that
too.
B
And
yes,
it
does
also
specify
that
citywide,
the
company
will
train
owner
on
setup
for
first
five
doors.
I
hope
that
once
we've
learned
how
to
use
the
first
five
doors
that
we'll
be
able
to
apply
that
knowledge
to
all
subsequent
doors,
but
it
just
like,
is
there
any
anticipation
that
further
training
will
be
necessary
or
just
they've
they've,
put
in
some
very
specific
terms
that
then
lead
to
questions
of
well?
What,
if
that
isn't
adequate
or
what?
If
there
are
needs
beyond
that,
so.
B
G
G
B
Well,
it
says
atrium
recognizes
and
agrees
that
the
data
is
and
shall
at
all
times
remain
proprietary
to
client
for
itself
and
on
behalf
of
its
designated
users,
so
and
client
shall
retain
all
right,
title
and
interest
in
and
to
the
data.
Atrium
shall
acquire
no
right
title
or
interest
in
or
to
the
data.
So
I
I
think
the
data
question
is
is
spelled
out
pretty
clearly
yeah
that
answers
the
question.
I
He
brings
up
a
very
good
point,
though,
and
I
can't
believe
this
is
a
wi-fi
system
that
that's
where
maybe
the
data
could
get.
You
know
if
this
is
simply
a
hard
wire
interacting
with
the
car,
then
the
information
you
know
doesn't
get
out
there
further
than
the
device.
I
don't
know
again.
This
is
not
my
area.
I
want
to
make
one
point,
though,
for
the
public
and
for
anybody
paying
attention
to
some
earlier
comments
about
the
big
bellies.
I
This
is
the
opposite
situation.
Right,
big
belly
was
a
contract
where
we
decided
we
wanted
to
get
out
of
an
annual
expense
right
and
so
that
we
thought
we
could
handle
the
recycling
and
trash
pickup
and
not
have
to
pay
50
000
a
year
to
have
these
very
nice
units
and
that
there
was
lots
of
reasoning
behind
why
we
feel
like
that
was
a
good
decision.
I
This
would
be
entering
into
a
contract
which
would
be
nine
thousand
dollars
a
year
which
you
we
really
couldn't
move
on
from
right,
the
big
bellies
we
can
say:
okay,
we're
done
and
they
removed
them.
We
put
our
own
cans,
we're
good.
This
one
is
more
difficult.
I
just
want
to
make
a
distinction
there
that
these
are
very
different.
These
are
the
opposite,
really
decisions.
Thank
you.
B
B
Okay,
then
I
I
feel
confident
that
we
will
be
discussing
this
more
in
the
future.
Next
item
in
the
on
the
agenda
this
evening
is
to
appropriate.
Oh
sorry,
the
fiber
network
project
from
arpa-
and
this
is
fantastic-
I'm
excited
that
we
do
have
access
to
arpa
funds
to
upgrade
our
fiber
and
what
project
specifically,
is
this
going
into
there?
Well.
C
You
know
the
best
practices
out
there
we're
putting
conduit
underground
with
each
project,
and
so
we
have
somewhere
between
six
and
seven
miles
of
conduit,
that
runs
through
the
city
that
is
city
conduit
and
so
with
that
and
with
the
arpa
money.
This
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
finally
work
with
a
contractor
to
thread
the
pipe
with
144,
conduit
or
144
fiber
and
finally
get
ourselves
off
of
our
microwave
system,
which
is
old.
C
C
They
primarily
provide
broadband
to
school
systems,
but
they
also
work
with
cities
and
local
governments,
townships
and
counties,
and
so
chief
pyle
has
been
engaging
with
them,
but
gray
bar
is
the
other
company
that
we
have
been
engaging
with
quite
a
bit
on
our
plan
for
getting
fiber
in
phases.
We
see
five
phases
at
this
point
in
time
and
possibly
six.
C
The
first
phase
would
be
to
work
with
whomever
to
get
us
the
fiber
that
we
have
been
talking
about
for
a
while
up
to
arts
west.
It
also
keeps
us
in
line
with
phase
two,
which
would
be
to
continue
that
fiber
run
all
the
way
down
to
the
service
garage
as
well
as
engineering
and
public
works
in
the
code
office.
C
C
For
that
particular
conduit
on
east
state
street
phase,
four
is
going
from
here
down
mill
street
in
the
conduit
that
we
had
placed
and
possibly
even
tap
into
the
conduit
that
will
be
on
stimson
avenue,
so
those
two
will
parallel
each
other
and
then
from
there
off
to
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
then
from
there
again,
the
last
phase
would
be
to
have
a
run
that
goes
out
east
state
street.
So
this
is
a
big
project.
C
It's
a
very
important
project.
It
makes
us
gives
us
more
resilience
in
terms
of
a
city
with
our
own
broadband
being
able
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
the
trees
being
in
full
foliage
during
the
summer
months,
when
our
microwave
shot
is
typically
becomes
impacted
by
the
foliage,
most
notably
the
microwave
shot.
That
goes
from
north
hill
over
to
arts
west,
as
well
as
the
microwave
shot
that
goes
over
to
engineering
and
public
works
in
the
code
office.
C
The
other
thing
some
of
you
may
have
heard
most
recently.
We
had
a
pretty
significant
issue.
We
still
do
with
frontier
here
in
the
city
for
the
phone
lines
to
where
we
had
several
citizens,
a
large
area
of
citizens
here
in
the
city
that
you
know
had
no
communications
when
it
came
to
their
phone
system.
Now
we're
talking
fiber,
but
you
know
the
there's,
there's
some
pretty
interesting
things.
C
C
F
C
That
you
know
we'd
like
to
have
half
a
million
dollars,
go
into
this
project
coming
out
of
the
arpa
fund
in
the
city.
At
some
point,
we
are
going
to
have
to
put
out
an
rfp
request
for
proposals.
Again
we're
going
to
start
with
these
two
companies.
We
have
tried
working
with
other
companies
and
one
of
them
we're
just
having
a
difficult
time
having
them
get
back
to
us.
C
Some
of
that
may
just
be
that
a
lot
of
fiber
installers
are
maxed
out
right
now,
because
there's
so
much
business
out
there,
but
currently
graybar
and
again,
as
chief
file,
was
telling
me
this
other
council
of
governments.
You
know,
may
be
interested
in
bringing
forward
a
request
for
proposals,
a
proposal
on
the
project
and
we'll
do
it
in
phases.
Like
I
said,
that's
what
that's!
What
we're
going
to
request.
E
Thank
you
I
remember.
Oh
so
recently,
columbus,
the
legislature
was
talking
about
preempting
our
ability
to
do
something
like
this
of
of
having
municipal
broadband,
and
so
that's
always
an
issue,
quite
frankly,
the
sooner
the
better.
Because
then,
if
they
do
preempt
us,
we
would
be
hopefully
grandfathered
in,
but
you
know
that's
something
that
they
have
looked
at
before
and
hopefully
they
got
their
hands
slapped
and
some
blow
back
when
they
put
that
out
that
it
won't
come
around
again.
Thank
you.
H
C
Believe
it'll
cover,
you
know
the
majority
of
those
phases.
You
know
I'm
anticipating,
that
of
the
five
phases
and
probably
cover
four
of
them,
which
then
gives
us
the
opportunity,
because
he's
going
to
be
over
time.
These
aren't
going
to
be
that
you
know
we're
just
going
to
sit
there
and
get
these
going
one
right
after
another,
and
so
it
kind
of
opens
up
the
possibility
for
with
the
second
allocation
next
year,
which
will
come
in
at
the
time
same
time
that
the
first
allocation
came
in.
C
So
we're
talking
mid-summer
next
year
that
we
could
finish
up
that
if
we
find
that
we
utilized
all
500
000,
and
we
can
use
some
of
the
next
year's
round
of
apple
money
to
finish
that
project.
But
we
seem
to
feel
that
you
know
we
can
comfortably
cover
the
majority
of
these
phases
with
the
500
000
and
that
would
include
the
gear.
That's
necessary.
You
know,
I
I
think
council's
aware.
C
You
know
when
we're
doing
this,
we're
looking
at
replacing
the
security
cameras
at
the
roundabout
security
cameras
on
court
street
with
upgraded
cameras
and
having
the
fiber
having
that
fiber
connectivity
to
those,
as
well
as
a
lot
of
our
signal
boxes
in
the
city
of
athens
again
that'll
happen.
It'll
occur
in
phases,
so
the
run
out
east
state
street
will
capture
the
signal
boxes
on
east
state
street
to
get
fiber
to
those,
as
well
as
the
possibility.
I
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
thank
the
city
administration
for
having
this
foresight
when
we
do
our
major
arteries
to
put
in
that
conduit,
because
that
is
such
a
huge
difference,
better
pulling
the
fiber
through
the
conduit
versus
having
to
dig
up
and
lay
it
is,
you
know
a
huge
cost
difference.
So
I
appreciate
that
that
has
been
done.
I
I
Right,
that's
why
I
don't
know
either
was
it
20
years
ago
when
they
made
a
larger
one,
and
there
was
some.
You
know
there
were
some
issues
with
that
knock
on
micah,
that
that
there's
been
no
problems,
but
there
were
some
concerns
which
is
the
height
of
the
tower
and
the
guidelines
the
wires
etc
and
might
be
nice
to
get
rid
of.
But
I
don't
know
what's
all
on
that,
but
thank
you.
F
C
I
B
J
Well,
not
much
really,
but
just
a
couple
comments.
The
fact
is,
I
think
everyone's
aware.
I
hope
the
reason
we
can
use
arpa
funding
is
because
the
shutdown
period
when
people
didn't
have
access
to
the
internet-
and
I
feel
like
this-
is
still
a
real
important
thing
to
be
able
to
provide
especially
moving
forward.
Number
two:
is
it's
going
to
be
pricey?
I
don't
see
us
getting
the
money
together
to
do
this.
J
C
I
feel
like
we
really
need
to
to
get
this
project
going
so
that
it's
there
and
in
place,
because
all
indicators
are
that
this
this
may
come
back
up
again,
that
the
state
legislation
will
will
figure
out
a
different
way
to
preempt
communities
from
being
able
to
have
fiber
the
upside
in
sharing
that
with
council
and
the
viewing
audience
the
upside
is
that
this
is.
We
are
not
creating
you
know,
retail
or
wholesale
fiber
or
broadband
to
anyone.
This
is
fiber
for
our
own
buildings,
and
so
there's
not.
E
C
C
There's
no
doubt
about
that
in
my
mind,
but
just
know
that
I
have
the
honor
of
working
with
this
group
that
is
watching
carefully
and
understanding
trying
to
read
the
tea
leaves
with
the
way
that
the
speaker
and
the
president
of
senate
are
thinking
what
they
want
to
try
and
do.
But
this
project
again,
I
fully
have
full
confidence
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
this
to
go
through.
So
hopefully,
council
sees.
This
is
a
worthy
project
for
the
city
of
athens.
K
K
Some
things
we
hadn't
talked
about,
though,
yet
are
you
know
the
importance
of
remote
work
nowadays,
the
pandemic
has
demonstrated
that
remote
work
is
critical
for
many
people
and
it
can
possibly
bring
people
to
athens,
as,
as
you've
heard,
a
presentation,
a
report
from
the
voynich
school
fiber
access
for
that
supporting.
That
is
important.
K
So,
for
example,
if
the
city
were
to
successfully
redevelop
the
armory,
which
is
something
that's
been
talked
about,
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
that's
being
connected
with
this
project
or
maybe
if
it
can't
be
with
these
phases.
One
of
the
next
days
is
next
year's
funds,
but
that
should
be
considered
as
an
important
piece
of
the
puzzle
here.
K
I
think
the
armory
is
sitting
there
not
getting
a
whole
lot
of
use
yet,
but
it
has
a
lot
of
potential
and
I
think
we
should
invest
in
that
if
we
can
with
every
opportunity
the
other
thing
just
municipal,
broad
pain,
really
gets
at
selling
broadband
to
customers
right
to
residents.
Mostly
that's
what
that
means,
and
that
would
be
something
that
would
greatly
enhance
our
ability
to
lure
people
here,
because
they're
not
then
dependent
on
one
choice
or
maybe
a
second
poor
choice.
K
We've
talked
about
one
of
those
tonight
for
internet
and
having
a
municipal
broadband
that
has
gigabit
fiber
up
and
down
load
speeds
would
be
a
huge
boon
to
remote
work
here,
and
people
coming
here
to
do
that,
and
also
supporting
the
people
here
already
doing
it.
So
great
project
like
to
see
more
of
this
and
continue.
B
B
If
this
is
a
recreation
equipment,
and
they
would
like
to
trade
that
in
there's
a
trade-in
allowance
of
4798
and
it
will
be
traded
in
for
a
new
mower
of
all
power
equipment,
and
I
do
not
have
the
price
information
of
the
new
mower.
This
is
just
the
legislation
for
the
disposal.
So
if
we
need
legislation
for
acquisition
simultaneously,
we'll
need
to
I'll
need
some
more
information.
B
B
A
I
I
and,
as
the
auditor
has
talked
about
what
we
can
use
arpa
funds
for
this
is
one
of
those
cases
where,
during
the
coveted
pandemic
city
code,
office
responsible
for
the
garbage
fund
has
seen
a
drastic
reduction
in
ticket
and
special
hall
revenue,
and
we
can
use
arpa
funds
to
shore
up
funds
that
have
been
impacted
by
the
covet
pandemic.
So
this
would
be
an
appropriate
use
of
of
arpa
funds,
so
that
would
be
transferring
into
the
unappropriated
balance
of
of
760..
G
I
I
C
C
One
of
the
other
things
is
that
you
know
when
you
look
at
that
salary
increases
everywhere.
You
know
that
are
matching
or
trying
to
match.
You
know
increased
increases
in
inflation,
those
keep
going
up
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
should
be
doing
a
better
job
of
is
recognizing
that
you
know
every
year
or
every
other
year.
C
But
we
feel
that,
with
with
appropriating
this
arp
of
money
for
helping
to
backfill
lost
revenue,
it's
going
to
put
us
on
much
better
footing
and
then
moving
forward
with
the
increases
in
those
rates.
We
should
be
doing
well,
but
again,
I
think
we
need
to
be
vigilant
every
year
in
looking
at
that
revenue
and
the
other
expenditures
that
are
associated
with
the
service
being
provided.
If
that
makes
sense
that
you
know
we're
just
constantly
tracking
that
you
know
and
at
a
minimum
you
know
doing
an
adjustment
every
other
year.
C
C
H
Like
I
guess
you
can
interpret
my
question
in
two
different
ways:
is
it
enough
or
is
it
too
much?
And
so
what
I
was
trying
to
get
at
is
is
this
enough,
because
we've
heard
we've
talked
a
lot
about
this
particular
line
item
and
it
sounds
like
it's
enough
and
but
you
know
I
guess
that
could
be
a
question
for
anyone
any
number
of
any
one
of
these.
H
J
J
I
I
There
is
the
income
tax
levy,
but
this
would
be
up
to
the
city
administration
and
the
new
director
of
arts,
parks
and
recreation
when
they
are
on
board
to
decide
how
that
you
know
what
the
the
costs
that
they,
the
fees
that
they
need
to
run
their
programs,
how
how
those
will
be
impacted
in
order
to
have
a
arts
parks
and
recreation
department
that
is
insolvent.
But
again,
this
is
a
use
of
the
arpa
funds
that
is
allowable
to
backfill.
D
I
I
Adopted
an
ordinance
in
in
august
86
21
for
sunday,
creek
horizon's,
workplace
development
at
the
armory,
as
mr
delock
was
was
talking
about.
However,
we
never
appropriated
the
money
for
that,
so
this
is
simply
correcting
or
or
finishing
up
that
process
of
appropriating
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
again.
These
are
arpa
funds
that
we
can
use
for
this
to
arpa
so
that
that
project
can
go
forward.
I
Moving
on
to
the
next
item:
again,
we
authorize
the
mayor
to
for
the
city
to
become
a
member
of
the
outdoor
recreation
council
of
appalachia
orca,
but
we
never
appropriated
the
membership
dues.
So
we
will
also
next
monday
be
appropriating
the
ninety
thousand
dollars
for
the
membership
dues
and
and
and
may-
or
perhaps
you
can
fill
me
in-
are
these
2021
dues
or
2022
dues.
These
are.
I
I
This
was
money
for
the
court
community
corrections
fund
fund
235
and
we
are
required
to
return
that
amount
since
it
was
unused.
So
this
is
appropriating
13
thousand
seven
hundred
fifty
dollars
into
that
court.
Community
corrections
fund,
since
it
was
unused
any
questions
from
the
committee.
Other
members
of
council,
yes,
remember,
mccary.
I.
I
B
B
It's
a
specific
level
of
probation.
So
when
someone
has
has
been
convicted
through
the
court
process,
there
can
be
different
levels
of
sort
of
oversight,
surveillance
and
this
would
fund
an
intensive
probation
program.
So
there's
there's
someone
who
who's
regularly
checking
up
on
an
individual.
So
I'm
I'm
guessing
here.
I
don't
know
for
sure,
but
my
guess
would
be
that
they
have
not
had
as
many
individuals
in
that
program,
as
perhaps
there
have
been
in
past.
I
From
from
the
yes,
please
approach
that
question:
oh,
okay,
okay,
thank
you
very
much,
okay!
Moving
on
other
questions
from
the
audience,
no,
okay.
Moving
on
to
the
next
item,
this
is
an
appropriation
for
some
new
replacement
parking
garage
meters.
We
have
six
parking
garage
meters
that
need
replacement,
and
so
this
would
be
appropriating
two
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
to
the
parking
garage
fund
for
meter
replacement.
I
I
bring
this
up
as
a
positive,
because
I
just
wanted
to
remark
how
much
more
the
parking
garage
is
being
used
recently.
I
you
know,
get
to
see
the
number
on
almost
a
daily
basis
and
it's
good
to
see.
There
was
a
while
there,
where
it
was
it
didn't
move
much
from
270
or
280
or
however
many
spaces,
and
and
now
when
I
go
in
I've,
got.
I
Go
up
a
few
floors
in
order
to
find
parking,
so
I
think
that's
a
sign
that
that
some
of
the
revenue
is
returning
any
questions
about
two
thousand
enter
dollars
for
six
new
meters,
other
members
of
council,
the
public,
the
mayor.
Okay,
thank
you
that
ends
appropriations
and
transfers,
and
then
we
have
one
other
item
which
again,
I
think
is
positive
news,
which
is
the
public
defender
contract.
I
I
I
I
I
believe
the
number
I
have
here
is
we'll
only
be
required
to
spend
43
585
and
50
cents
for
the
2021
calendar
year,
and
so
we
will
be
working
with
the
auditor's
office
if
there
is
a
decrease
of
the
appropriation
and
then
so
then
there's
a
savings
for
the
2022
calendar
year
as

We
know
that
the
first

of
2022.
We
will
likely
be
back
at
about
that
