Athens City Council - February 8, 2021
A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
athens
city
council,
it's
monday
february,
8th
at
7
pm
and
tonight
we
have
three
committee
meetings,
the
first
of
which
will
be
the
finance
and
personnel
committee.
That's
chaired
by
council
member
crowl
and
joined
by
council
members
rise
to
their
concert,
katsis
and
smedley.
B
President
eisley
excuse
me:
we
have
a
number
of
items
on
our
agenda
tonight
and
we
will
start
with
city
vacancies,
as
I
believe
everyone
is
aware.
We
requested
the
city
administration
to
have
council
review
any
vacancies
that
they
had.
B
The
city
had
opened
that
they
would
like
to
fill,
and
the
city
administration
has
been
very
good
about
doing
this
with
us
and
they
have
a
number
of
vacancies
they'd
like
to
put
forward
for
review
the
first
one
is:
there
are
currently
three
vacant
maintenance,
tech
positions
and
the
city
would
like
to
hire
two
of
those
open
positions.
B
One
of
the
former
mts
switched
and
took
another
position
became
labor
supervisor
and
there
are
are
currently,
I
believe,
about
nine
open
positions
in
epw,
so
this
would
be
filling
two
of
three.
B
C
I
I
don't
have
a
question.
I
just
have
a
comment
to
make,
and
that
is,
as
council
is
aware,
as
the
staffing
ordinance
came
forward,
vacancies
typically
in
a
non-coveted
time
frame,
the
city
can
fill
those
vacancies
as
they
come
available
as
long
as
they
are
on
the
staffing
ordinance.
We
have
been
doing
our
due
diligence
through
2020
and
now
into
the
beginning
of
2021
of
really
looking
closely
at
vacancies,
trying
to
be
as
fiscally
conservative
as
possible
with
revenue
coming
in,
and
so
just
as
a
reminder.
C
Those
watching
this
is
something
that
we
decided
in
under
coven
19
to
keep
council
apprised
of
vacancies
and
critical
needs
as
we
move
forward.
So
this
is
just
so
that
council
has
a
level
of
knowledge
as
to
what
vacancies
we
do
intend
to
fill
and
those
are
critical.
These
are
critical
vacancies
as
they've
and
we've
held
off
for
a
while,
but
we're
at
that
point
in
time
to
where
we
we
do
need
to
start
filling
some
of
the
vacancies
within
the
already
approved
staffing
ordinance.
D
I
just
want
to
say
I
I
agree
with
the
the
mayor
and
the
the
city's
need
to
fill
these
positions,
but
one
thing
that
that's
worrying
me
as
this
epidemic
drags
on
and
we
do
not
fill
positions
in
departments.
The
institutional
memory
disappears.
So
as
new
people
come
in,
they
don't
benefit
from
the
knowledge
of
older
employees
who
know
the
systems
who
know
the
the
ropes.
D
It's
almost
like
an
apprenticeship
there's
a
breaking
in
period
where
you
have
to
bring
new
employees
up
to
speed
and
if
there's
no
one
there,
who
really
knows
what
the
systems
are
all
about,
they're
at
a
serious
disadvantage,
and
so
does
the
city
we're
we're
behind
the
behind
the
curve
there.
So
I
think,
despite
our
financial
woes
at
the
moment,
safety,
service
and
health
are
are,
are
mandatory
here
to
get
these
people
in.
C
Mayor
just
to
assure
the
listening
audience
tonight
and
you
council,
member
reisner,
I
don't
100
disagree
with
what
you're
saying,
but
I
would
state
that
we
have
a
lot
of
depth
in
our
departments,
in
particular
the
ones
that
we
have
need
right
now.
So
there
is
enough
seniority
to
where
that
knowledge
can
be
transferred
on,
but
you're
correct,
but
we're
not
at
the
point
where
we're
losing
all
of
our
senior
or
even
midterm
employees
to
where
we're
having
a
brain
drain.
C
E
Yeah,
I
I
echo
the
marriage
sentiment.
I
would
say
that,
where
we've
been
cognizant
of
the
very
issue,
you've
mentioned
councilman,
councilperson
reisner
and
I
would
say,
for
the
vacancies
we're
talking
about
and
bringing
before
council
we've
pushed
right
up
against
the
edge
of
of
that
limit
to
say
that
if
we
don't
fill
the
positions,
we
will
start
suffering
from
the
attrition
without
the
institutional
knowledge.
E
So
now
some
some
departments
have
it
that
permanently
addressed
through
field
training
and
and
things
like
that,
like
the
police
and
fire
departments,
are
rather
buffered
against
an
issue
like
that.
So,
but
we
are
aware
of
it
and
and
have
been
contemplating
it
the
whole
time.
B
Thank
you,
chief
pyle,
any
other
questions
on
the
maintenance,
tech
positions.
Seeing
none
I'll
move
on
another
position.
I'm
sorry
yeah
going
too
fast
council.
A
F
And
so
this
this
question
is
for
administration,
so
you
know,
I
know
the
size
of
our
of
our
of
our
employment
work
force.
You
know
we
always
tend
to
have
open
positions
in
normal
times.
What
would
that
you
know
percentage
or
amount
of
of
open
positions
be
versus?
Where
we're
at
right
now
and
just
ballpark?
I
don't.
E
E
B
Moving
on
to
another
position
of
solid
waste
inspector,
we
had
a
previous,
solid
waste
inspector
transfer
over
to
arts
parts
and
recreation
that
leaves
an
opening
in
the
solid
waste
in
the
code
office.
B
This
is
a
a
revenue
position
in
terms
of
waste
tickets
for
the
city
and
the
ssd
and
mayor
are
asking
for
a
review
of
a
solid
waste
inspector.
G
E
Yeah,
it
is
a
it
is
what
you
you
colloquially
call
litter
officer:
okay,
thank
you,
the
patrol
on
the
weekends
and
issued
the
trash
tickets
to
the
house
parties,
and
things
like
that
and
right
now,
they're
only
covering
every
other
weekend,
because
they're
there
we're
two
one
each
weekend,
and
so
so
and
then
you
know
the
spring
season's
going
to
kick
up
and
parties
aren't
necessarily
outside,
but
they're
inside
and
there's
still
a
lot
of
waste
from
the
parties
that
are
happening
inside.
E
So
it's
it's
not
only
a
revenue
concern,
but
also
a
litter
concern
and
a
health
concern.
So
thank
you.
C
Mayor
yeah,
as
the
service
safety
director
indicated,
it's
solid
waste
and
litter
control
officers
is
what
their
titles
are
and,
if
you
think
about
it,
they're
they
are
critical
in
terms
of
some
of
the
safety
and
health
issues
that
we
see,
especially
within
the
rental
units,
the
rental
unit
areas,
whether
they're,
multi-unit
or
former
single-family
homes
that
are
converted
into
rental
units.
C
It's
critical
that
they're
out
inspecting
those
as
well
to
make
sure
that
they
aren't
becoming
health
hazards
in
terms
of
critters
that
we
don't
want
in
people's
backyards
or
rummaging
through
their
trash
and
strolling.
The
streets
of
court
street.
B
B
Sadly,
mr
garan
and
the
city
is
asking
to
hire
a
replacement
for
for
an
electricity
electrician.
H
A
question
just
a
comment
just
that,
based
on
the
responses
that
I've
heard
from
an
administration
and
the
response
to
member
casa's
question,
I'm
confident
these
are
positions
that
are
necessary
and
the
administration
wouldn't
be
proposing
them.
There
wasn't
a
dire
need,
so
I
appreciate
their
thoughtfulness
and
this
really
challenging
time,
and
that
would
support
these
these
proposals.
B
We
have
an
interesting
situation
in
that
the
richland
avenue
passenger
pedestrian
passageway
project,
which
is
substantially
complete,
does
have
a
doesn't
require
a
final
appropriation
for
in
the
amount
of
thirteen
thousand
dollars
which
is
for
a
hand
railing.
B
This
was
this.
Work
has
not
been
completed,
so
it's
not
a
prior
year
bill,
but
the
construction
engineering
firm
discovered
they
had
this
outstanding
invoice.
The
project
has
not
been
done,
but
the
money
had
not
been
appropriated.
So
this
is
thirteen
thousand
dollars
to
complete
a
hand
railing
for
the
richland
avenue,
pedestrian
passageway
project.
D
Just
to
clarify
make
sure
everybody
understands
this
is
just
an
appropriation
for
the
money.
It's
not
cutting
a
check
and
mailing
it
to
the
the
company
to
to
pay
them.
That's
up
to
the
administration.
G
I
can't
say
that
I've
been
in
the
market
for
hand
railings
lately,
but
13
000
sounds
somewhat
expensive.
So
I
just
wonder
what
is
the
size
of
this,
or
is
this
a
really
elegant
one
or.
C
I
don't
have
an
answer
as
to
the
elegant
nature
of
the
rail.
I
don't
think
it
is
elegant.
I
think
that
is
just
a
custom
rail
to
fit
with
the
project
and
anytime
you're
having
to
make
something
that
is
built
to
suit
it's
going
to
have
a
cost
associated
with
it.
So
I
can
get
more
details
if
you're
interested.
A
H
H
Where
exactly
is
it
going?
And
I-
and
I
assume
this
is
for
accessibility-
reasons,
which
I
appreciate,
of
course,
to
help
folks
make
their
way
through.
E
We'll
we'll
reach
out
to
jessica
dine
and
get
that
information.
I
didn't
get
into
the
the
details
with
her
really
was
just
kind
of
focused
on
the
process
of
appropriating
the
money
when
she
pointed
out
that
it
was
an
oversight
that
the
work
hadn't
been
completed
and
and
had
to
be
scheduled,
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So
we
we
just
gotta
the
price
of
it
and
put
it
in
the
process
to
get
it
funded.
G
I'm
curious
after
the
question
about
where
it
would
be
located
if
this
would
be
a
railing
that
would
go
over
the
whatever
you
call
the
thing
that
the
cars
go
on
that
arc
that
they
go
over.
Would
that
then
inadvertently
encourage
people
to
walk
on
that
when
we're
trying
to
get
them
to
walk
through
the
tunnel.
C
Yeah,
yes,
no,
I
it
is
not
on
the
roadway.
The
roadway
has
no
pedestrian
through
fair
at
all,
either
steps
or
along
the
walkway
itself.
So
we'll
get
you
that
information
we'll,
certainly
get
you
how
much
railing
we're
talking
about
as
well
as
where
that
railing
is
located,
whether
it's
along
a
pathway
and
that's
likely
the
case,
I
don't
recall,
there's
steps
which
would
require
a
railing
as
well,
but
I'll
get
all
this
information
for
council.
B
Okay
and
moving
along
in
our
agenda,
we
have
a
note
renewal
for
our
parking
meters
and,
as
everyone,
I'm
sure
is
aware,
we
have
not
been
having
the
revenue
come
into
our
parking
fund
for
a
good
solid
year,
so
this
has
become
a
bit
complicated,
but
we
would
like
to
appropriate
fourteen
thousand
one
hundred
dollars
to
the
parking
garage
fund
and
then
advance
transfer
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
general
fund
to
the
parking
garage
fund
in
order
to
pay.
This
upcoming
note,
renewal.
B
We
would
like
to
establish
a
payment
schedule
where
we're
paying
the
general
fund
back
for
this,
for
this
transfer
of
funds,
and
so
the
auditor's
office
has
recommended
at
least
five
thousand
dollars
each
year,
beginning
next
year
until
the
balance
is
repaid.
B
This
is,
unfortunately,
a
movement
of
money
that
is
necessary
due
to
the
lack
of
revenue
we've
been
receiving.
B
Yes,
auditor
hecht
great
to
see
you.
I
Thank
you
amber
crowl,
yeah,
just
to
add
what
you
said:
you're
exactly
right.
We
have
these
are
reno
renovations
that
were
done
a
few
years
ago
to
the
parking
garage
and
we
have
a
set
amount
that
we
have
to
pay
off
on
that
it's
not
as
flexible
as
some
of
our
other
ones,
but
anyway
we
budgeted
161
000
and
we
need
175
100
for
that
payment
plus
interest.
I
And,
yes,
we
are
allowed
to
use
general
what
we
call
general
obligation
funds
tax
dollars
that
go
into
the
general
fund
for
other
funds.
However,
we
have
to
be
extremely
careful
not
to
subsidize
proprietary
funds
like
water,
sewer
and
parking
garage,
and
so
so
we
are
letting
the
parking
garage.
Fun
borrow
the
money.
As
member
crowl
said,
it's
not
something
we
do
very
often,
but
we
have
done
in
the
past,
and
the
wording
in
the
ordinance
debbie
has
worked
really
hard
with
leanna
on
that
using
two
ordinances
from
the
past.
I
When
we've
done
that,
the
auditors
prefer
us
to
have
some
kind
of
payback
schedule,
the
amount
can
be
very
small.
The
last
time
we
did
it.
We
paid
it
back
much
earlier
than
what
we
put
in
an
ordinance,
but
at
least
we
had
a
guideline
for
minimum
payments
and
that's
what
our
payment
is
set
up
for
that.
So
the
hundred
thousand
dollar
loan
in
the
parking
garage
fund
is,
we
actually
have
two
loans.
I
You
know
coming
up
in
for
a
parking
garage,
but
one
of
them
is
is
paid
for
out
of
the
general
fund,
but
anyway,
part
of
the
hundred
thousand
dollar
loan
will
be
used
for
other
things,
but
the
main
thing
is
to
get
some
money
in
there
so
that
we
can
transfer
enough
into
the
parking
garage
debt
fund
to
make
our
payment.
F
Yes,
thank
you,
and
you
know-
and
this
just
goes
back
a
short
short
while
ago.
I
know
we
just
just
readjusted
the
fees
for
monthly
parking.
F
I
mean
I
understand
the
situation
that
we're
currently
in,
but
I
just
didn't
know
if
there
was
any
any
type
of
budget
runs
to
see
what
what
what
this
might,
what
this
funding
stream
might
look
like
in
the
in
the
near
to
longer
term
future.
I
Well,
according
to
the
deputy
auditor-
and
I
I'm
not
sure
where
she
got
this
information
or
just
looking
at
at
our
records,
it
we've
had
a
good,
a
good
amount
of
revenue
in
the
parking
garage
so
far
this
year,
and
so
we
all
know
a
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
having
students
in
town.
I
The
problem
is,
we
don't
know
what
will
happen
moving
forward,
and
so
we
need
to
go
ahead
and-
and
you
know,
make
sure
we
have
the
money
in
there
now
for
this
upcoming
loan
payment
and
then
move
from
there.
But
she
did
say-
and
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
in
the
administration
has
followed
this-
that
that
we,
you
know,
revenue
has
been
pretty
good
so
far
this
year,.
C
You
know
part
of
what
we're
anticipating
as
well.
Remember,
cautious
is
that,
as
we
see
more
and
more
vaccine
getting
out
there
and
into
arms
just
last
friday,
the
athens
city,
county
health
department,
vaccinated
1100
individuals,
primarily
k-12,
but
I
think
we
we
can
certainly
expect
more
of
that
as
we
move
forward
and
as
that
happens,
that's
when
we'll
start
to
see
again
an
uptick
in
people
utilizing
the
parking
garage.
C
C
It's
making
sure
that
we're
anticipating
movement
as
we
move
forward
in
time
to
get
through
this
pandemic.
So
you
know
it's
possible
that
when
we
look
at
third
quarter
and
beyond
that,
we'll
continue
to
see
a
rise.
C
Some
of
it's
predicated
for
sure
upon
what
ohio
university
does
with
instruction
next
fall,
but
so
that's
basically
what
we're
tracking
remember
cots.
This
is
great
question.
I
I
don't
think
any
of
us
have
lived
through
a
pandemic
before
so
it's
working
we're
kind
of
building
this
plane
as
we're
flying
it.
F
Hopefully,
once
in
a
lifetime
and
and
and
we're
on,
second
read
on
the
on
the
street
closures,
thank.
C
E
Just
a
couple
notes
on
potential
revenue:
you
know
anecdotally
speaking
the
mayor
and
I
both
see
a
lot
more
people
in
the
downtown
area
are
younger
students,
so
people
are
coming
back
to
town
the
numbers
today.
If
you
saw
from
the
health
department
there
were
only
nine
new
cases,
I'm
hoping
that's
accurate,
so
that's
a
positive
thing
and
then
the
new
rates
for
the
rental
spaces
and
the
additional
rental
spaces
is
now
in
effect
and
we're
sorting
out.
E
So
you
know
just
a
few
things
with
the
permit
system
and
the
county's
space
leasing
and
and
then
we'll
consider,
leasing
out
the
other
additional
would
leave
approximately
81.
I
think
spaces
that
we
could
lease
out
on
a
monthly
basis.
Those
hunting
licenses,
the
council
approved
in
december,
and
so
that
should
all
help
bring
parking
back
into
the
parking
garage.
Once
we
get
that
rolling
it'll
take
a
month
or
two,
but
we'll
get
that
rolling.
E
E
No
they're
they're
monthly,
where
we
would
set
them
up
as
people
would
do
it
monthly,
okay
and
it's
it's,
but
it's
it's
guaranteed
income.
So
that
would
be
a
good
thing.
You
know
it's
whether
they
utilize
the
space
or
not
that
they'd
be
paying
for
it
so
and
well,
by
the
way.
I
I
checked
out
just
for
a
second
to
get
a
hold
of
jessica,
and
I
have
some
answers
for
the
railing
whenever
it's
appropriate
to
give
you
that
information.
E
So,
with
regard
to
the
the
passageway
railing,
the
railing
is
for
two
stairwells
or
two
stairways
jessica,
didn't
know
the
length,
but
it
was
substantial.
This
is
customized
u.s
steel,
it's
all
powder
coated.
The
cost
includes
all
the
manufacturing,
the
coating,
the
shipping
and
the
installation,
the
hotels,
the
whole
nine
yards.
It
covers
everything.
So
that's
why
it's
it's
rather
pricey,
but
it
is
first
two
stairwells
going
into
the
passageway.
B
Okay,
any
other
questions
on
the
parking
meters
and
that
revenue
shift
the
fund
amounts
shifting.
Okay,
we'll
move
on
to
income
tax
revenue
to
remind
everyone.
Last
summer
we
passed
an
ordinance
removing
one
percent
of
income
tax
revenue
allocation
that
normally
went
to
the
transportation
assistance
fund.
The
reason
why
we
did
that
was
because
habcap
had
received
a
two
million
dollar
grant.
B
That
would
cover
our
match
through
2020,
but
we
now
need
to
move
that
one
percent
back,
so
we
we
did
decrease
the
the
general
fund
from
from
74
to
73
percent,
or
we
increased
excuse
me
that
one
percent
up
to
74
percent-
and
we
need
now
to
reverse
that
to
return
that
one
percent
allocation
to
the
transportation
assistance
fund
and
then
the
general
fund
allocation
will
return
to
73.
I
All
right,
I
don't
think
so,
I
think
that's
about
what
it
was.
The
one
percent
that
was
designated
for
that
fund
several
years
ago
seems
to
have
been
the
right
amount,
and
so
that
would
be
my
recommendation
is
to
go
with
that
was
nice
to
have
that
last
year,
too
bad,
you
know
we're
back
to
the
other
this
year,
but
it's
not
a
huge
amount
just
enough
to
keep
our
transportation
fund
going.
B
Thank
you.
I
will
note
to
council
that
we
will
be
asking
for
suspension
for
this.
The
auditor's
office
would
like
to
have
this
completed
by
the
end
of
february,
and
we
only
have
one
more
regular
council
meeting
in
this
short
month
of
february,
so
we
will
be
looking
to
suspend
the
rules
for
that
next
week.
B
The
the
auditor's
office
has
asked
for
an
authorization
to
reduce
appropriations.
B
We,
you
may
also
remember,
gave
the
auditor
this
authority
in
in
june
of
2020,
and
the
auditor's
office
is
asking
for
this
again
through
april
of
2021,
and
this
is
giving
them
giving
the
auditor
and
her
staff
the
authority
to
really
our
our
budget
and
the
sound
and
and
in
a
sound
way.
I
know
auditor
that
in
the
in
the
june
appropriation
or
june
ordinance,
we
specified
sort
of
amounts,
but
I
I
don't
know
if
that
that
will
also
be
done
in
this.
I
Well,
we
could
do
it
that
way.
We
did
that
in
june
and
then
in
august
we
did
it
without
amounts.
We
had.
I
don't
know.
I
Service
safety
director
pyle,
was
in
on
that
we
probably
had
about
10
different
funds
or
account
lines
that
we
reduce
for
that
one,
I'm
not
sure
where
we're
going
to
land
this
time.
I
do
know
that
some
of
the
revenue,
basically
we
we
get
a
budget
and
we
look
at
the
revenue
and
we
project
it
to
cover
the
budget
to
begin
with,
but
we
know
that
some
of
this
revenue
is
not
going
to
come
in.
So
for
me
to
go
in
and
reduce
those
revenue
amounts.
I
You
know
projected
revenue
amounts,
they
can't
go
below
what
our
appropriations
are
and
so
we're
gonna.
I
think
everybody
understands
how
that
works.
So
the
appropriations
have
to
come
down
to
be
less
than
what
we
our
certified
resources
are
gonna
be
so
we
would
like
to
just
be
a
general
one.
We
would
actually
have
a
list
of
it
that
we
could
share,
and
so
we
can
do
it
either
way
it
gets
a
little
cumbersome
in
an
ordinance
to
list
a
lot
of
account
lines
like
like
that.
I
But
that's
why,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
you
know
we
have
been
getting
an
ordinance
to
reduce
that
for
the
year
end
and
we
don't
list
every
single
one
of
them,
not
that
we
don't
have
a
record
of
that,
but,
like
I
said
it
can
be
kind
of
cumbersome
and
we
we
would
have
it
it's
just.
I
guess
it's
be
up
to
council
if
they
want
it
in
the
ordinance
or
not.
I
Mostly,
we
haven't
done
it
that
way.
We
did
do
it
that
one
way.
Last
summer
you
know
things
are
different
now,
so
I
guess
I
could
leave
that
up
to
you.
It
can
get
to
be
a
lot
of
them.
Some
of
them.
We
aren't
necessarily
reducing
very
much,
but
we
have
to
because
we
know
the
some
of
the
smaller
funds.
I
The
revenue
is
is
limited,
the
resources-
and
we
know
it's
not
going
to
come
in,
and
you
know
things
like
that,
so
I
would
just
like
to
start
our
year
off
right
without
budget
you
know,
department,
heads
and
supervisors
and
administration.
Everybody
council
included
not
thinking
that
our
revenue
is
necessarily
going
to
be
higher
than
what
it
is.
I
really
you
know,
I
don't
want
it
to
be
projected
to
be
higher
than
what
we
think
will
come
in,
because
you
know
things
are
so
different
in
the
past.
I
Often
it
comes
in
higher
than
we
even
think
sometimes
most
of
the
time,
but
that's
probably
not
the
case
now
so
so
we'd
like
to
get
it
adjusted
for
the
first
quarter.
That's
why
I
asked
it
to
go
through
the
end
of
april
so
that
after
the
first
quarter,
we
have
time
to
put
that
through
council.
You
know
in
order
to
you
know,
adjust
it
as
we
move
on
through
the
year.
So
I
guess
I'll
leave
that
up
to
council.
I
don't
know
how
many
account
lines.
I
We've
found
several
already
that
need
to
be
reduced,
but
you
know
I
don't
know.
C
Sure
you
know
if
council
is
is,
is
comfortable
with
this,
I
think.
Maybe
a
good
path
forward
is,
is
a
blanket
reduction.
The
we
have
a
mayor
auditor
meeting.
You
know
once
a
week
where
we
discuss
issues
like
this
and
then
we
can
certainly
brief
counsel
or
bring
it
forward
as
a
communication
during
regular
sessions
that
this
is
what
is
happening
as
we're
moving
forward
with
having
to
make
some
adjustments.
I
Not
that
we
won't
know
that,
and
I
have
sent
big
you
know
spreadsheets
of
information
to
council
in
the
past,
even
when
we
didn't
list
it
in
the
ordinance.
But,
as
I
said,
it's
I'll
leave
it
up
to
you
whether
you're
you
know
satisfied
with
getting
the
information
or
prefer
to
have
every
you
know
account
line
listed
separately
in
the
ordinance.
B
H
Thanks
member
crowl
I'd
be
comfortable
with
more
of
a
high
level
review
presented
to
council
or
shared
with
council.
I
don't
think
we
need
the
granular
details
unless
there
was
something
significant
that
administration
or
the
auditor
wanted
to
share.
I
I
feel
comfortable
with
more
that
high
level
review
for
us
and
for
the
general
public.
D
D
B
I
B
Okay,
so
we'll
see
that
coming
forward
next
week,
any
more
questions
off
the
committee
or
anyone
else
all
right.
Great.
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
our
last
item
on
the
stenson
avenue
improvements
project,
we
need
to
amend
last
year's
ordinance,
zero,
sixty
three
twenty
to
remove
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars,
which
was
an
authorized
expenditure
from
the
issue
two
fund
and
add
that
same
amount
to
the
street
rehabilitation
fund,
which
is
the
the
fund
from
which
the
loan
repayment
for
the
stem
stamina
project
will
be
made.
B
B
Some
helpful
emails
to
me-
and
I
appreciate
that
from
everybody
for
for
explaining
this
to
me,
but
I
believe
it's
I
understand
it
correctly.
It
is
really
this
transferring
of
the
money
to
be
in
the
proper
account
line
of
572
transaction
code
500..
I
Sure
this
actually
just
came
up
recently
heather
in
my
office
noticed
some
things
going
on.
She
went
to
leanna
and
they
contacted
epw,
and
this
is
just
these
are
our
money's
pass
through
type
monies
or
monies?
We
were
awarded
for
this
project,
400
000
from
opwc
and
400
000
from
odot,
and
we
actually
have
received
a
bill.
I
It's
short
notice.
This
really
just
came
to
my
attention
today,
but
that
we
would
like
we
would
like
this
to
move
through
council
in
february
so
that
we
could,
you
know,
stay
up
to
date
on
our
bills,
but
it's
money.
I
That's
coming
to
the
city
and
for
some
reason,
in
the
budget
this
year
it
was
budgeted
eight
hundred
thousand
in
590,
which
is
an
issue
one
or
two
fund,
and
we
we
use
that
for
these
kinds
of
grants
and
things
that
you
know,
it's
not
necessarily
issue
one
or
two
issue,
two
funds
anymore.
But
the
thing
is,
according
to
ordinances
from
last
year
that
the
deputy
auditor
looked
at,
the
money
has
has
all
been
paid
and
budgeted
out
of
572,
which
is
the
street
fund.
I
So,
rather
than
have
this
money,
you
know
the
revenue
and
appropriations
and
590
we
just
like
to
do
it
out
of
572,
where
everything
else
is,
and
so
what
we
need
to
do
is
adjust
the
budget
and
decrease
the
800,
000
and
590
and
then
increase
it
in
572..
I
So
it's
just
really
a
bookkeeping
change
here.
If,
if
that
makes
any
sense,
I
don't
know
if
anybody
has
any
other
questions
about
that.
B
Thank
you,
auditor
yeah.
That's
what
I
the
way.
I
saw
it
too
one
note.
The
director
adain
did
indicate
that
all
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
from
opwc.
B
Any
further
questions
or
comments
on
that
item
that
closes
finance
and
personnel.
Thank
you,
president.
Nicely.
F
I
missed
my
mute
button
there
for
a
second
president
nicely
thank
you
and
tonight
on
transportation
committee.
We
just
have
one
point:
this
is
the
residential
parking,
the
72-hour
permit,
and
so
basically
just
to
provide
some
history
probably
about
three
years
ago.
This
was
a
community
initiative
that
was
that
was
brought
forward
by
a
group
of
citizens
that
was
searching
for
solutions
to
not
having
to
walk
their
vehicle
every
24
hours
due
to
the
the
city-wide
24-hour
parking
rule.
F
So
this
is
a
permit
that
applies
to
certain
streets
in
the
city
of
athens
and
it
allows
people
on
those
streets
to
purchase
a
permit
that
then
allows
them
to
leave
their
vehicle
on
the
same
spot
for
72
hours
and
so
moving
forward.
The
reason
that
this
this
discussion
is
is
happening
tonight
is
that
member
smedley
received
a
communication
from
somebody
on
the
west
side
that
was
looking
to
see
how
it
was
possible
to
maybe
add
a
street
to
the
to
the
to
the
parking
to
the
parking
program.
F
There's
no
criteria
currently
right
now
that
would
would
allow
it
to
you
know,
go
through
a
process,
and
so
I
don't
believe
personally
that
I
would
want
to
see
one
person
on
every
street
making
the
request
and
then
we
just
keep
adding
them.
F
My
understanding
was,
and
looking
back
through
some
of
the
minutes,
this
program
was
was
designed
specifically
for
streets
that
didn't
have
off-street
parking
at
every
at
every
residence,
and
so
you
know
at
the
same
time
looking.
I
know
that
member
smedley
did
have
a
conversation
with
captain
harvey
he's,
not
against
the
idea
and
and
please
members
to
mentally
correct
me,
and
I
actually,
I
probably
will
lean
on
you
a
little
bit
more
because
this
was
the
only
thing
I
really.
F
I
walked
away
from
that
conversation
that
you
shared
with
me
he's
not
against
expanding
the
program.
Currently
right
now,
we've
had
as
many
as
12
permits
issued
per
year
last
year
was
nine
in
2021
we
have
eight
members
natalie.
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything
additional,
that
captain
harvey
communicated
with
you.
H
And
thanks
member
classes
yeah,
I
think
it's
outside
of
the
specific
request
to
add
this,
this
particular
street.
On
the
west
side.
I
think
it
might
be
valuable
for
us
to
talk
about
what
is
our
process
for
evaluating
the
program?
H
How
do
is
it
something
that
we
want
to
consider
expanding
and
if
so,
what
is
our
process
for
doing
that?
Is
it
checking
in
annually?
Are
we
automatically
excluding
certain
streets
and
if
so,
what
would
be
the
criteria
around
that?
H
So
I
think
before
we
say,
yay
or
nay,
on
that
particular
street,
I
think
it'd
be
important
for
as
you
to
your
point.
We
don't
want
to
be
adding
streets
as
requests
come
in.
We
kind
of
probably
need
to
have
a
more
formal
and
systematic
approach
to
how
do
we
address
expanding
the
program?
If
that's
what
we
want
to
do
and
beyond
the
program
itself,
I
was
hopeful.
H
We
could
have
a
conversation
too
about
looking
at
whether
or
not
we're
ready
to
expand
city
wide
the
length
of
time
where
you
can
be
parked
in
a
single
location
right
now.
It's
24
hours
outside
of
that
permit
program
and
based
on
the
feedback
that
I
received
from
captain
harvey
he'd,
be
open
to
to
lengthening
that
to
20
or
48
hours,
and
so
I'd
like
so
those
are
two
conversations.
Obviously
you
know
the
permit
program.
How
do
we
manage
that
going
forward
and
then
city-wide
parking
one
term.
F
Members,
oh
mayor,
thank
you.
C
F
Yeah,
and-
and
I
know
this
is
a
very
you
know-
just
I'm
just
putting
this
out
here
tonight,
mostly
to
kind
of
gauge
what
council
is,
is
thinking
if
they
have
had
any
conversations
about
this.
I
have
not.
This
is
the
first
time
that
this
has
come
forward
and,
and
it
is
about
on
an
annual
basis
because
we
did
it
did
go
to
ordnance
in
december
of
2019,
so
we
we,
we
have
kind
of
reviewed
this
almost
once
a
year
for
the
last
three
years,
member
cloudfelter.
G
Well,
I
didn't
have
an
in-person
conversation
with
anyone
about
this,
but
I
think
the
timing
of
of
bringing
this
issue
back
is
really
good,
because
that,
as
member
smedley
they
may
know
there
was
just
kind
of
a
facebook
blow
up
about
parking
limitations
of
exactly
these
issues.
The
need
to
move
a
car
every
24
hours
on
the
west
side,
facebook,
page
and
people
were
saying
well,
yeah,
council
never
does
anything
about
it.
So
I
was
really
pleased
when
you
broach
the
subject,
because
perhaps
we
will
actually
do
something
about
it.
G
I
have
one
question
and
it's
just
because
I
haven't
studied
that
permit
in
detail,
but
when
we
issue
those
permits
are
they
issued
only
for
people
only
two
people
who
live
on
those
streets
so
that
nobody
else
could
park
there
and
take
up
all
the
parking.
Okay,
good.
C
I
think
it's
good
to
remind
those
who
are
viewing
tonight's
council
meeting
that
this
started
as
a
pilot,
and
that's
why
there
was
specific
streets
identified,
and
it
was
because
one
of
the
citizen
really
wanted
to
see
this
happen,
and
so
we
deemed
it
as
being
a
successful
pilot
and
migrated
into
the
world
of
okay.
We're
going
to
continue
this
permit
process
moving
forward.
So
that's
why
there
was
only
certain
streets
identified
when
the
pilot
began.
C
The
the
other
thing
is
again
to
kind
of
echo,
remember
smedley
what
you
mentioned,
and
that
is
that
captain
harvey
who
oversees
parking
enforcement
that
40
48
hours
is
certainly
worth
exploring
and
and
if
certainly,
that
would
offer
relief
to
people
who
are
parking
on
the
streets
if
they're
parking
on
the
streets
city-wide
to
to
have
that
happen,
and
then
maybe
taking
this
in
steps
again.
C
Working
with
with
captain
harvey
is
to
see
if
that
is
doable
and
if
that's
doable,
then
we
look
to
see
about
expanding
the
permitting
process
in
the
future.
But
I
think
this
is
something
that
needs
to
be
staged
as
we
go
through.
Otherwise,
we
might
find
ourselves
in
a
situation
to
where
we
were
many
years
ago
to
where
we
noticed
there
was
a
lot
of
storage
parking
going
on
and
in
particular
on
some
of
our
narrower,
close
end
streets,
which
did
become
significant
problems
when
it
came
to
the
passage
of
safety
equipment.
C
You
know
fire
trucks,
ambulances
through
some
of
these
areas
and
not
to
mention
all
kinds
of
interesting
things
living
under
vehicles
that
were
sitting
there
for
months
and
months
on
end
and
not
moving.
B
B
This
is
a
big
concern
amongst
west
siders,
I'd
like
to
see
48
hours
for
parking
rather
than
24
hours
and
exceptions
for
some
for
the
72
hours
with
the
permit,
and
the
same
person
does
say
that
the
they
want
to
avoid
storage
parking,
that
residents
don't
want
finding
the
right
balance
is
tough
agreed.
Thank
you.
Member
cotsas.
H
Thank
you,
member
copsis.
The
mayor's
comments
just
reminded
me,
a
few
other
pieces
of
feedback
that
we
received
from
captain
harvey,
which
is
that
he,
when
I,
when
I
presented
this
question
to
him,
I
asked
him
if
it
if
it
made
sense
to
expand
parking
72
hours.
H
Since
that's
what
the
pilot
permit
program
allows
and
his
feedback
was
that
48
hours
made
sense
based
on
his
enforcement
abilities,
and
it
had
something
to
do
with
the
the
the
timing
of
which
his
staff
can
address
a
problem
vehicle
and
based
on
his
staff,
staffing
levels
and
the
timing
of
which
that
he
can
respond
to
a
situation.
H
A
72-hour
parking
citywide
could
see
potentially
a
problem
vehicle
being
in
unaddressed
for
up
to
five
days,
just
based
on
the
timing
of
when
staff
can
address
it
and
tow
it
and
all
those
all
those
sorts
of
things,
but
48
hours
seemed
doable,
and
so
that
was
that
issue
and
also
you
know
the
the
whole
the
the
reason
as
member
cost
member
cops
is
and
mayor
brought
up
that
the
24-hour
limit
was
introduced.
To
begin
with
was
to
address
the
storage
parking
in
storage
parking.
H
Obviously,
is
is
a
situation
where
you
have
cars
parked
for
a
length
of
time
and
they
take
up
spots
for
residents
who
live
in
the
neighborhood.
That's
all
that
said.
H
48
hours
is
still
a
very
limited
time,
so
they
would
still
need
to
move
their
vehicles
eventually,
but
it,
but
as
mentioned
it
does
offer
some
relief
for
those
who
are
still
living
in
town
and
really
not
going
in
a
lot
of
places,
especially
now
with
a
pandemic,
and
so
so
it
could
be
a
happy
medium
for
now,
and
I
would
still
and-
and
I
would
agree
with
the
mayor-
we
would
probably
want
to
take
steps
to
to
expanding
our
parking
limits,
maybe
revisiting
the
process
at
which
we
expand
the
permitting
program.
H
If
we
first
wanted
to
expand
to
48
city
wide
or
or
you
know,
evaluate
and
assess
and
review
whether
or
not
we
wanted
to
explain
into
48
hours
city-wide
and
then
see
how
that
goes,
and
then
maybe
revisit
the
piloting
program
to
see
if
we
wanted
to
expand
the
number
of
hours
or
the
number
of
streets
involved.
In
that,
I
would
be
in
support
of
that
sort
of
timeline,
and
that
way
we
don't
offer
too
much.
It
present
too
much
confusion
with
residents
as
well.
J
I
would
suggest
also
looking
at
zoning,
meaning
that
there's
really
no
reason
why
the
far
east
neighborhood
has
to
have
as
short
of
a
time
frame,
because
they
don't
have
as
much
pressure
over
there
from
people
who
are
parking
to
walk
to
school
or
to
uptown
or
something
a
lot
of
communities
deal
with
this
by
having
alternative
sides
of
roads,
and
so
you
can,
you
know,
park
tuesday,
wednesday
and
thursday,
and
then
the
street
cleaner
comes
through,
so
you
have
to
park
on
the
other
side,
the
other
days,
so
that's
another
way
of
enforcement,
but
if
we
did
a
zoning
with
the
outer
neighborhoods
being
less
intensive
with
the
hours
that
they
can
have
longer
hours,
that
would
also
free
up
some
enforcement
that
would
go
into
the
other
areas.
K
F
And
and
so-
and
I
just
have
one
one
quick
question:
actually
maybe
two
one
is
you
know
the
thing
that
I
worry
about
the
most
is
is
a
high
volume
street,
so
I
don't
know
if
we
have
to
have
some
sort
of
criteria
that
wouldn't
have
you
have
like
a
certain
level
of
cars
that
do
not
travel
on
that
street,
and
that's
you
know
there's
that
balance
once
again,
where
you
know,
if
you
do
have
more
cars
parking
on
the
street,
your
speeds
are
going
to
come
down,
so
there
is,
there
is
some
added
value
or
benefit
by
having
having
those
those
vehicles
there
longer.
F
The
second
thing-
and
this
is
actually
probably
for
chief
pyle-
is
where
we
at
with
the
license
plate
reader
and
the
vehicle
that
was
going
to
be
handling
that
that
was
supposed
to
be
maybe
speeding
up
more
the
process.
E
Yeah
that
was
part
of
the
budget
drawback
that
the
auditor
spoke
of
that
we
made
last
year
and
we
did
not
budget
for
in
2021
predicting
that
our
budget
numbers
would
not
allow
for
that
kind
of
purchase
and
implementation.
E
L
That's
one
issue
that
is,
I
think,
relevant.
If
we
talk
about
expanding
from
24
to
48
or
72
hours,
is
the
current
mechanism
for
enforcement
is
to
mark
like
chalk
the
pavement
and
take
a
photograph
of
the
car
in
the
position
and
that's
likely
to
stay
very
similar
for
24
hours,
48
72
hours?
I
think
reliability
of
enforcement
is
going
to
get
a
lot
trickier
and
I
we
we
personally
have
had
the
situation
happen
and
I
know
other
people
have
too
it.
It's
already
a
tricky
enforcement
thing.
L
But
this
this
is
finding
the
right
balance
between
preventing
storage
parking
on
some
of
these
close-end
streets
and,
like
I
like
remember,
falls
idea
of
you
know:
sort
of
creative
enforcement,
except
on
my
street
portions
of
one
side,
have
a
retaining
wall,
so
you
can
only
park
on
one
side
of
the
street.
There's
there's!
No
option
of
parking
up
against
the
retaining
wall,
that's
on
the
other
side.
L
So,
and
we
have
residents
on
my
street
who,
who
very
much
want
to
keep
a
24-hour
parking
ordinance
in
place
because
they
remember
when
they
could
never
find
a
place
to
park
because
of
storage
parking
and
even
are
concerned
about
expanding
to
48,
because
their
part
of
the
street
has
rental
homes
with
five
10
15
people
all
living
in
in
one
building,
and
then
other
homes
have
have
no
driveway
and
it's
just
one
person,
and
so
they
they
want
to
be
able
to
park
when
they
come
home
from
the
grocery
store
or
from
work.
L
This
is,
this
is
an
issue
that
has
come
around
multiple
times
in
my
time
of
paying
attention
to
to
local
governments
in
athens,
and
I
know
many
many
times
before
that
and
so,
and
even
even
the
ideas
of
hang
tags
or
for
permitting
different
things
like
that
are
tricky.
Because
do
you
issue
those
only
to
the
property
owner?
Do
you
issue
those
to
each
resident
who
lives
in
a
home?
How
many
parking
passes
does
a
residence
get?
How
do
you
ensure
that
that
a
renter
might
not
say?
L
Oh
well,
I
lost
mine.
I
need
a
replacement
and
end
up
having
a
few
extras
to
hand
out
to
friends
and
and
so
they're.
It's
a
it's
a
complex
issue,
and
I
I
appreciate
the
staged
approach
and
I
I
would
encourage
what
maybe
we
need
to
do
more
publicizing
of
the
the
permit
process
that
we
do
have
because
they're
they're,
you
know
at
most,
we've
had
a
dozen
people
take
advantage
of
that
and
so
so
we're.
L
I
think
I
think
that's
a
really
good
option
and
it's
being
minimally
utilized,
but
looking
at
at
possibly
zoning
or
or
expanding
adding
more
streets
to
that
is
something
I
I
would
be
in.
Favor
of
thank
you.
C
C
Some
were
in
isolation,
you
know
and
we're
in
a
real
difficult
situation
here
in
the
city
of
athens
as
across
this
nation
around
the
globe.
So
I
think
that
we
just
go.
We
do
this
smartly,
as
we
go
through
in
phases,
and
I
think
that's
the
more
prudent
way
to
go
and
again
we
still
are
under
a
pandemic
everybody.
We
still
have
people
who
are
under
quarantine.
We
have
people
that
are
in
isolation
in
their
homes,
and
so
I
think
we
just
be
smart
with
how
we
move
forward.
So
thank
you,
council.
I
Oh,
that's
fine.
I
appreciate
that
council
members
and
the
mayor
should
go
first.
I
was
sort
of
involved
through
my
neighborhood
association.
When
this
all
came
up.
I
I
would
say
that
joan
kananski
was
the
the
leader
of
that
and
worked
with
other
people,
including
the
administration
and
captain
harvey,
I'm
all
in
favor
of
having
a
set
of
rules.
I
There
are
some
rules
already
set
up
that
council
did
when
they
approved
that
project
review
would
be
good,
and
maybe
you
would
have
put
together
some
kind
of
committee
to
include
west
side,
of
course,
but
the
near
east
side
any
place
else
where
they
feel
anywhere
in
town,
really
that
where
they
might
deal
with
that,
so
I
was
mostly
just
gonna
say
I
would
like
to
see
that
reviewed
and
in
the
process
and
anything
we
can
do
to
improve
it.
I
F
Any
additional
comments,
yeah.
I
will
just
close
this
out
by
saying
I
did
this
was
a
few
years
ago
I
had
a
conversation
with
planner
paul
logan.
He
believed
that
he
spent
about
50
percent
of
his
time
trying
to
figure
out
where
to
park
to
cars.
So
this
is
not.
This
isn't
a
special
situation
to
our
city
alone.
F
It's
always
it's
always
a
challenge,
and
I'm
just
glad
that
we're
able
to
still
kind
of
continue
to
keep
thinking
about
it
and
working
on
it
and
and
making
adjustments
as
we
move
forward.
So
thank
you
so
much.
L
First,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion.
I
guess
do
I
need
to,
or
just
and
I
just
need
to
say
that
we
need,
I
need
to
amend
the
agenda
of
it
for
tonight
and
add
an
item,
the
agenda
for
the
committee,
and
that
is
that
we
would
like
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
we
will
need
to
amend
an
ordinance
from
last
year.
L
That
is
ordinance
1
2020,
and
this
ordinance
was
for
the
funding
for
getting
the
fiber
optic
capability,
the
lines
and
capability
to
arts
west,
and
I
know
funding
for
this.
We
were
working
on
doing
this
as
much
as
we
could
with
some
cares
act
funding
to
improve
access
to
arts
programming
during
this
pandemic,
and
we
just
we
will
need
to
be
updating
some
of
the
financial
information
ssd
pile.
L
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
chime
in
here
with
some
details
on
that,
as
far
as
where,
where
we
are
or
the
details
of
what
needs
to
happen.
E
Sure
sure
so,
last
year
we,
the
council,
authorized
the
expense
of
120
000
out
of
285
for
the
arts
west
fiber
project.
We
only
spent
of
that
120
000
around
38,
000
and
change.
That
was
for
the
government
channel
equipment.
I
don't
remember
what
that
thing
was
called,
but
all
the
thousands
it
goes
with
the
tricaster
or
something
like
that
and
then
anything
else
we
spent
came
out
of
a
different
fund
and
so
spoke
with
leanna,
just
briefly
leann
woods
of
the
honors
office.
E
Briefly
about
this,
and
so
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
amend
the
ordinance
to
the
corrected
account
line
that
we
funded
this
year
with
forty
thousand
dollars
and
that's
a
wreck
line.
I
think
I
know
clerk
walker
gave
you
the
correct
account
line.
E
It
should
be
around
88
000,
some
somewhere
somewhere
in
that
vicinity,
that
we
could
spend
to
complete
the
120
000,
but
we
only
have
appropriated
40
so
far,
so
that
the
amendment
would
be
to
change
the
line
for
the
remaining
balance
of
the
120
000.
And
then,
if
we
need
the
additional
48
000,
we
would
have
to
come
back
for
an
appropriation
as
well
to
put
that
money
in
the
correct
account
line.
L
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
clarification.
That's
mostly
bookkeeping
to
adjust,
which
which
fun
line
our
funding
is
in
and
what
the
ordinance
says
we're
allowed,
which
fund
we're
allowed
to
spend
it
out
of
for
this
project.
But
yes,
it's
good
that
this
project
is
continuing
to
move
along.
Are
there
any
questions
related
to
the
adjustment
to
the
funding
for
the
arts?
West?
L
Okay,
the
next
issue
on
the
agenda
is
for
the
washington
county
jail
contract,
and
this
is
something
that
council
approves
on
an
annual
basis,
and
it's
so
that
we
have
an
agreement
in
place
to
allow
our
law
enforcement
officers
to
house
inmates
in
washington
county
jail
in
the
event
that
there
is
no
space
for
them
in
the
regional
jail
located
in
nelsonville,
and
this
is
agreement
we've
had
in
place
and
we
have
in
place
with
some
some
other
locations
too.
L
I
believe,
but
washington
county
commissioners
require
that
council
approve
this,
their
particular
contract
and
our
current
contract
will
be
up
at
the
end
of
march,
so
we
just
need
to
get
this
in
process
and
I
have
a
draft
of
the
contract.
L
I
don't
know
if
that
is
last
year's
contract
or
if
this
is
a
this
year's
contract,
if
it's,
but
it's
I,
the
the
last
email
I
saw
was
we
were
waiting
to
hear
specifically
from
washington
county,
but
we
want
to
get
the
process
started
so
that
we
have
the
ordinance
in
place
to
approve
that
one
once
we're
all
ready
for
that.
Does
anyone
have
questions.
L
I
know
it's
the
prosecutor's
office
and
the
building
attached
via
via
the
walkway
there,
and
this
project
would
be
for
one,
a
single
generator
that
would
cover
both
buildings
and
the
the
recent
power
outage
that
I
know
caused
some
some
significant
technical
issues
for
individuals
in
that
building
and
and
even
some
lasting
delays
because
of
servers
going
down
things
like
that
sort
of
highlighted
the
that
this
is
something
that
is
needed
just
for
resiliency
for
local
government,
and
I
know
that
our
administration
has
a
a
draft
at
least
of
a
bid
proposal,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
hopefully
able
to
to
approve
that.
C
C
I
believe
it
was
2017
or
2018
where
we
had
a
couple
trans
mission
polls,
one
for
sure
that
went
down
it
led
to
roughly
a
three-day
power
outage
in
the
city
building.
We
did
get
a
quote
back
then
as
to
what
it
would
cost.
We
looked
at
natural
gas
versus
diesel
generation,
there's
currently
a
diesel
generator
that
powers
the
police
department
and
and
that
building,
but
it
it.
As
I
understand
it,
you
know
it's
pretty
limited
in
terms
of
what
it
powers
we
did
look
like.
C
I
said
at
natural
gas
versus
diesel,
but
for
the
limited
number
of
days
per
year
that
that
generator
needs
to
be
running
versus
the
cost
for
natural
gas
powered
and
as
well
as
emissions.
I
think
that's
important
to
have
this
conversation,
because
we
are
a
city,
that's
very
conscious
about
our
impact
on
the
environment
that
those
days
were
were
were
very
small
in
terms
of
having
to
be
used.
However,.
C
Again
with
the
incident
that
we
just
had,
you
know
two
weeks
ago,
on
a
friday
at
2
p.m,
where
we
had
another
extensive
power
outage,
you
know
city-wide
and
into
the
county
where
we
had
18
000
citizens,
dwellings,
houses
residents
without
power
to
include
the
city
building.
One
of
the
things
that
happened
in
this
also
happened
back
with
the
longer
power
outage
is
when
you've
got
power.
Outages
that
are
abrupt
like
that
city
servers,
take
a
hit.
C
A
lot
of
the
city,
computers
take
a
hit,
and
you
know
that
can
lead
to
added
cost
and
expense
as
well
things.
You
don't
think
about
not
only
people
time
to
get
things
rebooted
again
and
get
them
up
and
going,
but
what
the
impact
can
be
to
equipment
to
have
a
blackout
or
even
a
brownout
is
not
good
when
it
comes
to
electronics.
C
This
would
allow
what
we're
requesting
is
a
diesel
generator
we're
still
waiting
on
the
quote,
but
it
would
be
a
diesel
generator
that
is
able
to
power
both
the
city
building,
as
well
as
the
law
administration
building
in
its
entirety.
The
the
when
we
got
the
quote
the
last
time.
The
only
real
change
that
we
noticed
was
that
the
exhausts
the
exhaust
stack
had
to
go.
I
think
it
was
another
20
feet
higher
than
where
the
generator
is
now
laterally,
so
we're
exploring
this.
C
We
think
that
this
is
the
most
prudent
thing
to
do,
as
you
mentioned,
as
a
resilience
feature
as
well
as
a
cost
savings
feature.
You
know
when
we
have
a
lot
of
electronics
that
you
know
lead
to
a
lot
of
people
hours
to
go
in
and
resetting
things
and
fixing
things
as
well
as
potential
damage
to
equipment
when
you
have
rapid
shutdowns.
C
We
we
struggled
last
time
back
in
2017
because
of
the
cost.
It
was
a
cost
issue.
We
feel
now
in
conversations
with
the
auditor's
office
that,
with
the
the
refund
that
we
received
from
bwc,
this
is
a
safety
issue
for
people
who
are
working
in
buildings
and
all
of
a
sudden,
the
power
goes
down
as
well
to
where
we
could
potentially
be
using
some
of
the
bwc
refund
to
cover
the
cost
of
something
of
this.
This
nature,
so.
L
Yes,
president
nicely
just
a.
A
Process
question
and
I
would
agree
with
you
it's
a
safety
issue,
but
given
the
potential
cost
of
it,
does
this
need
to
go
out
to
bid.
L
E
Yeah
so
andrew
chicken,
I
met
with
the
law
director
today
and
went
over
the
draft
document.
She's
made
her
changes
and
will
be
sending
it
back
to
us
for
correction.
Then
we're
going
to
go
over
it
again.
Just
a
note,
we've
already
appropriated
the
money
council
already
appropriated
the
money
for
this
back
in
january.
E
Out
of
that
bwc
refund
money
and-
and
we
think
we
appropriated
enough
but
enough
to
cover
any
updated
costs
from
2017,
and
so
what
we
realized
is
we
didn't
have
council
authorization
go
to
bid.
So
that's
what
this
is.
This
request
is
for
the
authorization
to
actually
go
to
bed
and
spend
that
money.
That's
already
been
appropriated.
L
F
Yes-
and
I-
and
I
just
have
one-
you
know
because
I
you
know,
I
think,
about
this
investment
in
this
in
this
infrastructure
and
then
I
think
about
all
of
the
different
arms
of
government
that
are
located
in
a
very
small
space
and
so
what
I'm
thinking
is
and
and
these
I
know
this
generator-
could
be
picked
up
and
moved.
F
Is
this
something
that
do
we
do?
We
already
have
one
generation
raider
that
supports
the
police
station.
I
guess
I
guess
my
the
only
thing
that
I'm
thinking
about
is
we
put
this
here
and
then
we
move
the
police
or
the
courts
or
something
else
gets
moved.
I
guess
the
servers
will
always
remain
in
the
same
spot
and
that's
probably
the
ultimate
protection
that
you're
looking
for,
but
just
just
thinking
about
what
what
we,
where
we
may
be
with
our
where
our
staffing
may
be
located.
K
L
Good
question
ssd
piled.
E
Yeah,
so
the
the
current
generator
on
top
of
the
lab
was
installed
when
the
building
was
built
in
1986,
so
it's
35
years
old
and
counting,
and
they
can't
get
parts
for
it
anymore
and
that
generator
was
sized
only
to
provide
power
to
the
police
server
room,
which
was
an
add-on
when
we
developed
the
server
room
20
years
ago
and
the
police
dispatch
center.
So
it
doesn't
supply
power
to
the
environmental
controls,
whole
building
electric
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So
so
this
one
is
sized
to
keep
both
buildings
running.
E
So
it's
not
necessarily
portable,
but
if
we
did
move
offices
out
of
the
lab
for
some
reason,
if
we
build
a
new
station
or
they
they
combined
stations
that
we've
talked
about
over
the
years.
Things
like
that,
we
could
pick
this
up.
You
know
cost
money
to
move
it,
but
it
you
could
move
it
as
far
as
the
servers
and
stuff
so
yeah,
I
mean
it's
going
to
supply
power
to
both
buildings
and
keep
the
lights
on
and
the
heat
on
and
for
both
buildings.
E
F
L
Yeah,
that's
that's
just
what
I
was
thinking.
I
know
there's
been
discussion
about
the
police
department,
possibly
moving
or
court,
although
that
seems
way
far
in
the
future,
just
because
of
of
options
and
so
and
there's
no
way
that
the
city
building
would
be
empty.
So
I
think
keeping
power
to
that.
C
I
I
I
should
see
my
time
to
auditor
heck,
because
I
think
she
and
I
are
on
the
same
wavelength
just
to
remind
everybody.
The
auditor's
office
is
in
that
building.
The
tax
administrator
is
in
that
building,
there's
record
storage
in
that
building,
there's
the
law
director's
office
in
that
building
and
all
her
staff.
So
you
you.
C
You
mentioned
this,
and
I
agree
wholeheartedly
that
if
there
was
any
movement
of
a
department
out
of
that
building,
we
would
supplace
that
with
likely
other
residents
in
that
building
other
city
administration
in
that
building,
so
that
building's
not
going
anywhere
where
tenants
are,
could
be
moving
in
the
future.
So
and
we
can
have
that
conversation
at
a
different
time.
C
But
at
this
point
it's
making
sure
that
all
of
those
who
are
tenants
in
that
building
city
function
wise
that
they
have
the
security
of
a
backup
generator
when
needed,
as
well
as
the
city
building,
which
is
city
council.
It's
the
court
system
and
the
city
administration
that
is
in
the
city
building.
So
this
is
a
critical
piece
of
infrastructure
that
that.
J
E
Just
one
other
note:
if,
if
we
did
develop
the
southeast
regional
operations
center
and
and
fd,
the
fire
department
and
police
department
moved
into
a
center
like
that,
the
hq
generator
currently
is
80
kilowatts
and
and
if
we
did,
that
likely,
the
old
fire
department
building
would
be
shut
down
and
or
sold,
and
and
we
could
move
that
generator
to
down
to
this
site
if
we
needed
to
take
the
newer
one.
So
I
mean
there
are.
There
are
plenty
of
options
there.
I
Yeah,
no,
that
was
the
mayor,
was
right
on
track
with.
That
is
yeah
we
we're
also
in
there
and
that
the
current
generator
is
for
the
an
area
of
the
police
department.
Only
that
poll
that
went
down
three
years
ago
put
us
out
of
business
for
three
days.
It
that's
a
lot
of
time
for
us
to
have
the
entire
office
shut
down
for
one
thing,
and
then
it
happened
in
the
afternoon.
I
I
was
there
and
usually
when
you
have
a
sudden
shutdown
like
that,
you
lose
all
the
information
you've
been
working
on.
You
know
for
the
day
on
your
computer
and
it's
just
not
a
great
situation
and
so
yeah.
So
so
separating
you
know,
as
the
mayor
said,
there
are
other
offices
in
that
building
and
a
lot
of
storage
file,
storage
between
our
office
and
the
law
director's
office,
besides
our
actual
offices.
I
So
aside
from
the
police
department,
that
is,
you
know
on
the
bottom
floor,
so
yeah,
what
they
have
going
now,
you
know,
would
would
be
for
them
but
yeah.
Let's
just
don't
forget,
there's
offices
in
both
buildings,
two
buildings-
we're
talking
about
here.
Thank
you.
A
A
No
okay,
we're
having
council
next
monday
night
and
and
yes,
we
will
be
there.
Okay
and
we're.
