Description
Athens City Council - October 10, 2022
A
An
important
important
part
of
that
is
that,
if
you're
using
municipal
bonds
or
tax-exempt
Municipal
Bond
funding
that
tax
credit
would
be
reduced
by
the
amount
of
the
interest
advantage
of
of
tax-exempt
bond
financing.
That'll
come
into
play
later
on.
When
I
talk
about
the
economic
analysis,
we've
done
all
right.
The
project
update
as
Andrew
said:
we've
been
working
hard
for
for
quite
a
while
on
this,
so
the
modules
are
purchased.
A
A
So
the
pool
City
Pool
has
a
parking
lot
shading
structure
at
both
sides
of
the
entrance
no
changes
there.
The
rec
center
is
going
to
be
roof,
mounted
we're
coordinating
with
a
re-roof
project,
that's
long
overdue,
and
so
that'll
be
nice.
As
soon
as
the
roofing
is
done,
we'll
start
our
work
and
then
the
ground
mounts
there
used
to
be
two
distinct
ground
mounts
one
between
the
river
and
the
library
and
one
behind
the
Holiday
Inn
because
of
flooding
issues,
potential
flooding
issues,
we've
combined,
oh
everything,
is
all
now
beyond
the
Holiday
Inn.
A
We
also
bumped
into
a
issue
at
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
The
utility
told
us
that
the
Transformer
that's
there
that
they
own
was
not
size,
big
enough
for
this
and
was
actually
pretty
old
and
so
soapak
has
stepped
up
to
use
some
of
their
carbon
fee
money
to
support
this
project
by
paying
for
the
the
city's
portion
of
getting
that
Transformer
upgraded.
A
So
there's
Again,
The
Familiar
project
layouts
for
the
three
sites
and
then
what
we
did
is
in
light
of
the
new
regulations
with
the
IRA
allowing
the
city
to
take
the
tax
credit.
We
have
to
say
what
would
happen
if
the
city
bought
the
system
with
cash
or
finance
a
system.
So
we
ran
four
different
scenarios:
a
cash
purchase,
the
straight
25-year
power
purchase
agreement
where
a
third
party
owns
a
system
and
simply
sells
energy
to
the
city.
A
A
The
system
is
slightly
larger
because
of
the
modules
that
we're
able
to
get
these
days
are
a
little
bit
more
energy
dense
and
so
pretty
amazing
impact
environmental
impact
that
this
project
will
have,
including
1834
metric
tons
of
CO2
per
year.
A
These
are
numbers
that
are
hard
to
even
read,
they're,
so
big,
but
more
than
two
million
pounds
of
coal
burned
per
year
of
electricity
would
be
offset
by
this
1.2
million
pounds
of
waste,
the
equivalent
of
1.2
million
pounds
of
waste
being
recycled
instead
of
landfilled
and
the
equivalent
of
4.5
million
miles
driven
by
an
average
passenger
vehicle
per
year.
These
are
all
from
the
epa's
greenhouse
gas,
equivalencies
calculator.
A
So
next
steps
I
owe
the
city
and
Lisa
an
updated
power
purchase
agreement
from
Oak
Tree
Capital
she's
already
been
through
this
review
of
a
legal
document
from
the
previous
financing
party
and
then
the
improved
PPA
terms
of
this
new
agreement.
Instead
of
the
PPA
terms
going
up
at
two
percent
per
year,
we've
reduced
that
to
go
up
at
1.75
percent
a
year.
A
That's
reflecting
the
increased
economics
of
the
the
tax
credit
being
30
percent
instead
of
26
percent
and
then
constructions
on
schedule
to
hopefully
begin
this
winter
at
the
field
and
then
in
q1
at
the
pool.
We
don't
want
to
have
any
construction
going
on
by
the
time
the
summer
hits
for
the
pool
and
then
the
community
center
we're
kind
of
waiting
at
the
process.
A
The
project
schedule
for
the
re-roof
so
we're
coordinating
closely
with
BTT
Architects
working
with
the
city
on
that
project
and
intend
to
follow
right
after
the
the
roofing
contractor
as
we
install
solar
on
that
roof
and
there's
a
picture
of
the
cacosing
headquarters.
Building
in
Westerville
and
we've
changed
our
mission
from
it
used
to
be
accelerating
the
shift
to
clean
energy
and
we're
focused
on
that
and
now
we
combined
our
mission
with
kokosing's
Mission,
which
is
creating
jobs.
A
B
C
Thank
you
for
the
very
helpful
presentation
with
the
PPA
hybrid
model.
It
sounds
kind
of
like
rent
to
own,
but
could
you
explain
the
option
to
purchase
it
six
years
in
thanks,
yeah.
A
So
with
the
previous
PPA
that
we
were
planning
on
working
with
as
well
as
you
know,
multiple
other
power
purchase
agreements,
the
one
that
the
city
already
is
in
the
one
that
we've
done
at
Federal
Hawk
schools
here,
basically
a
there's,
a
kind
of
a
public-private
partnership,
and
so
an
entity
with
a
tax
appetite
buys
the
system
pays
to
have
it
installed,
takes
the
tax
credit
and
then
takes
depreciation,
which
is
another
tax
advantage
to
Shield
income
from
other
parts
of
the
business
and
get
a
basically
a
time
value
of
money
Advantage
for
for
the
when
you
pay
the
taxes
on
it
and
then
builds
the
system
and
then
owns
and
operates
it
responsible
for
ensuring
it
operating
it,
maintaining
it
if
it
breaks,
we
are
not
paid.
A
The
PPA
document
itself
gives
the
city
the
ability
to
purchase
the
system
in
a
year
if
it's
purchased
within
years,
one
through
five.
The
price
is
very
high
because
we
would
have
to
pay
back
the
tax
credit
to
the
federal
government
and
recast
the
financials
to
recapture
the
accelerated
depreciation
after
that
has
all
happened,
though,
in
year
six,
the
project
price
is
a
lot
less
to
buy,
and
so
the
city
would
have
the
option
to
buy
the
project
in
any
of
those
years.
After
that,
thank
you,
yeah.
D
Well,
thank
you,
Mr
Greenfield
for
being
here
appreciate.
The
information
I
should
know
more
about
this
and
that
and
I'm
going
to
ask
some
basic
questions.
Are
we
paying
you
or
the
the
the
private
entity
a
per
kilowatt
hour
price
for
the
electricity.
A
D
A
Yes,
so
it's
a
little
tricky
the
tax
CR,
the
tax
rules,
don't
allow
us
to
name
a
sale
price
and
so
there's
a
what
they
call
a
terminal
value
floor
price
that
effectively
sets
the
price
and
it's
I
don't
have
it
off
the
top
of
my
head.
But
it's
going
to
be
in
the
actual
document
as
an
appendix
for
each
year.
What
the
terminal
value
is.
Okay,.
D
C
A
It's
a
good
question:
Micah.
The
system
is
going
to
come
with
a
data
acquisition
system
which
is
kind
of
boring
and
functional
in
the
background
and
tells
us
what
the
inverters
are
doing
and,
if
they're
all
performing
up
to
spec,
but
then
it
also
has
a
feature
showing
how
much
power
this
week,
this
month,
this
year
year
to
date
or
a
lifetime
system
lifetime,
the
system
has
produced,
and
we
also
are
able
to
show
that
the
equivalent
greenhouse
gas
reduction
goals.
A
A
E
Several
questions
today
seems
like
two
or
three
years
ago.
We
first
started
talking
about
this
when
folks
came
to
City
Rec
and
was
sharing
all
of
this,
so
the
first
question
has
to
do
with
that.
The
way
this
is
drawn
in
slide
number
seven
I
believe
the
tennis
courts
are
placed
right
up
against
the
back
of
the
Holiday
Inn,
and
if
you
remember
our
conversation
back,
then
we
thought
that
that
would
be
a
concern.
E
People
banging
tennis
balls
right
up
against
the
back
of
a
hotel.
Is
there
any
possible
provision
of
moving
those
away
from
the
back
of
that
hotel.
A
A
They
did
consult
us
and
asked
what
options
we've
got
and
where
would
be
the
most
economic
ways
to
use
the
existing
parking
and
to
deal
with
the
shading
Etc
and
the
existing
roads,
and
so
this
is
the
design
that
was
developed.
The
other
piece,
I'll
point
out
is
that
there's
a
in
the
red
there's
a
there's,
a
little
driveway
that
we're
putting
in
to
maintain
access
to
the
Community
Gardens
as
well.
E
Okay,
second
question:
what's
the
current
bond
market,
have
you
factored
that
into
the
agreement?
And
you
know
bonds
are
just
crazy
right
now,
but
we've
done
this
six
months
ago,
a
little
more
favorable
financial
position
than
it
is
today.
Yeah.
A
A
We
expect
that
it's
going
to
be
going
back
down
in
the
next
two
or
three
or
four
years,
but
we
have
no
idea
what
six
years
would
be.
So
we
used
the
same
number
in
our
assumptions.
A
Well,
no
effect
so
back's
very
in
favor
of
this,
in
fact,
has
one
of
the
most
favorable
kind
of
pro
solar
net
metering
Provisions
in
the
private
Crest
Marketplace.
So
we've
been
working
closely
with
them
there.
The
city
I'm
not
sure
how
many
facilities,
but
the
three
facilities
that
we're
powering
are
all
part
of
the
3p
rate,
which
I
guess
public
power
production
rate
or
something
like
that.
But
it's
basically
a
very
Advantage
rate.
It's
one
of
the
lowest
prices
of
of
anybody
selling
power
and
by
switching
to
solar.
A
A
Yeah,
so
so
sopec
members,
you
know
the
general
public
myself
included,
get
a
low
energy
component
of
their
electric
bill
and
then
these
facilities,
because
they're
such
large
energy
users,
it's
even
lower
it's
4.5
and
change.
A
F
Just
a
supplement,
a
lot
of
what
material
is
saying
that
your
rate
is
also
different
than
the
city's
rate
based
upon
you
having
the
100
Renewables.
So
you
know
for
residential
I
guess
the
100
renewable
energy,
which
is
coming
from
wind,
wrecks
out
of
Texas.
You
know
the
price
is
slightly
higher
for
the
residential,
but
we're
with
our
Mercantile
accounts.
Our
government
accounts
we're
not
on
the
100
renewable,
we're
on
the
standard
rate
and
and
again
to
your
point,
I
think
that
sopac
has
done
a
great
job.
F
E
The
last
question
the
at
the
end
of
six
years,
when
you
first
shared
this
with
us
two
or
three
years
ago,
I
picked
up
the
phone
and
called
a
a
mutual
friend
of
ours.
Tom
McCown
and
I
asked
him
about
this,
and
he
said
the
best
thing
to
do
would
be
to
ask
you
when
we
get
to
this
point.
So
the
question
is:
what,
in
similar
situations
like
this,
what
do
most
entities
do?
Do
they
do
they
purchase
it?
In
other
words,
would
the
city
buy
it?
E
Do
they
let
it
continue?
Well,
what
seems
to
be
the
the
most
common
method
of
you
know,
looping
that
we're
wrapping
this
whole.
A
Thing
up:
yeah
yeah
funny
you
mentioned
Atomic
helmet,
we're
actually
almost
done
building
a
project
at
Muskingum
University
that
he
was
involved
with
it's
it's
optionality
is
what
most
of
our
clients
want.
So
so
far
we
have
had
one
client,
Kent,
State
University,
opt
to
exercise
their
purchase
rights
under
a
PPA,
so
we
had
the
PPA
going
with
them
and
I
think
it
was
in
year.
A
Seven,
you
know
it's
probably
in
year
nine
that
they
decided
that
they
have
each
year
they
did
a
economic
analysis,
looked
at
their
cost,
to
borrow
money
and
kind
of
predicted,
the
future
about
inflation
and
and
said
you
know
what.
Now
the
tax
cuts
are
burned
off
on
this
project
and
we
can
buy
it
at
a
big
discount,
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
buy
it,
and
so
that's
Kent.
State
University
is
one
that
bought
it.
Several
others
have
not
exercised
that
they
decided.
A
You
know
what
we're
going
to
continue
to
buy
the
energy
and
let
you
all
own
and
operate
this
and
use
our
capital
for
other
things.
So
I
think
it's
a
case-by-case
basis
and
I
expect
some
of
you
might
be
on
city
council
six
years
from
now
and
will
evaluate
what
the
situation
is
at
the
time
and
make
that
decision
and
that
the
way
the
PPA
is
written.
D
F
Be
there's
there's
two
new
dog
parks
that
have
been
built
down
at
West,
State
Street
on
East,
State,
Street,
West
Adrian
always
happens,
and
those
are
what
are
going
to
supplies
the
the
former
baseball
diamond
that
was
turned
into
a
dog
park.
Okay,.
D
D
G
Order
to
fit
on
the
screen,
I.
D
G
A
F
Do
have
a
comment.
You
know
we're
extremely
fortunate
in
that
in
2018,
the
ballot
Initiative
for
the
carbon
fee
was
passed
by
76
percent.
We
have
a
real
opportunity
with
the
ability,
after
six
years
to
have
you
know,
to
completely
purchase
the
system.
You
know
I
believe
that
with
that
money,
that
is,
for
municipal,
solar
on
municipal
buildings
or
green
space,
that
a
a
wonderful
use
of
a
good
portion
of
that
as
it's
growing
and
it
brings
in
approximately
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
Is
that
a
lot
of
The
Debt
Service?
F
If
we
did
you
know,
go
up,
have
a
bond
purchase.
You
know
for
the
purchase
outright
purchase
of
this.
That's
an
option
that
we
have
as
a
city
to
recommend
that
to
sewpac
that
we
would
like
to
use
a
portion
of
this
so
get
service.
The
other
thing
to
think
about
is
that
with
us
having
this
system
and
purchasing
it
outright
at
that
six
year
mark
or
after
the
sixth
year
that
you
know
the
savings
alone
for
our
grid
energy
costs.
F
You
know
for
because
we
purchase
from
AED
everyone
else
in
the
city
that
that
can
now
be
deviated
to
other
projects,
because
we
budget
every
year
for
electric
consumption,
we
pay
to
pay
the
electric
bill
and
we're
talking
the
number
one
energy
consumer
in
the
city
or
a
city
Mercantile
account
anyway,
and
that
is
the
Wastewater
achievement
plan
number
two
is
the
water
treatment
plant
that
has
one
point.
You
know
178
kilowatt
kilowatt,
solar
array
with
a
microgrid
and
then
the
community
center
is
probably
the
third
highest
energy
consumer.
F
So
two
of
those
three
we
would
be
offsetting
our
budgeting
costs
each
year,
which
again
could
either
be
used
for
Debt
Service.
Then
now
we're.
F
Our
our
bond
payments,
Debt
Service
or
you
can
go
to
other
City
projects,
so
you
know
I,
really
believe
that
this
is
going
to
be
extremely
beneficial
to
the
city
of
Athens,
as
well
as
to
get
us
easily.
In
my
opinion,
to
our
50
reduction
of
our
carbon
emissions
by
2030..
F
You
know
I
I
could
go
on
and
on
and
on,
but
we
had
a
great
study
that
came
out
of
power
clean
feature
Ohio
already
addressing
per
capita
what
our
carbon
emissions
is
and
we're
one
of
the
lowest
and
that
we
are
the
lowest
in
the
state
for
City.
Our
signs
we're
one
of
the
lowest
in
the
nation,
which
is
amazing.
So
again,
you
know
being
good
stewards
of
the
planet.
Earth
I
think
that
something
like
this
is
is
well
worth
pursuing.
H
Yeah
I
have
to
say
that
this
is
very
exciting
and
I
really
compliment
all
of
you
that
have
been
involved
with
this
and
based
on
the
answers
to
the
questions
that
you
all
have
given
I'm
even
more
enthusiastic.
So
thank
you
very
much.
D
Thank
you.
Member
Grace.
We've
talked
to
Mr
Greenfield
about
pollinators,
perhaps
being
grown
underneath
these
is
that
still
part
of
the
plan.
Yes,
thank
you
very
much.
G
So
I
have
one
other
item:
yeah,
both
deputy
director,
chicky
and
I
have
looked
pretty
clearly
at
the
numbers,
and
so,
if
any
member
of
council
wants
to
look
at
the
numbers
of
the
various
options
that
Mr
Greenfield
talked
through,
we
can
help
talk.
You
through
those
and
I
do
believe
that
the
hybrid
approach
of
the
buyout
in
six
years,
assuming
we
can
get
Bond
financing
at
3.5
percent
or
better
six
years
from
now,
is
probably
the
best
way
to
go
for
the
city.
G
B
Great
moving
on
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda:
this
is
an
update
about
the
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
extension
and
I
am
going
to
defer
to
our
service
safety
director
for
most
of
it
or
the
mayor
hi,
but
I
I
believe
that
all
Council
had
access
to
a
document
providing
us
with
a
very
detailed
update
about
what
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
has
been
doing,
and
so
did
you
have
specific
items.
You
wanted
to
talk
about
Mr
Mayor.
F
F
You
know
what
we're
asking
is
for
Council
to
extend
that
contract
for
22
500
through
the
end
of
this
December
to
continue
their
work
on
the
Armory,
where
they
have
been
extremely
helpful
and
valuable
to
the
city.
Is
you
know
a
lot
of
their
work
on
understanding?
F
The
I
should
prefaces
with
the
lack
of
guidelines
at
this
point
in
time,
but
apparently
very
very
soon,
we're
going
to
see
the
guidelines
for
what
is
now
called
the
Appalachian
community's
grants,
which
is
the
half
a
billion
dollars
coming
out
of
the
state
share
for
arpa
and
having
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
once
those
drop
and
we
believe
they're
going
to
drop
within
the
next
week
or
so
those
guidelines
that
maybe
they
would
be
well
suited
to
to
look
to
see
what
is
the
best
way
to
posture
ourselves
to
go
after
funding
through
the
Appalachian
communities
grant
for
the
Armory
itself.
G
G
We
all
but
have
the
Ohio
Southeast
vibrant
communities,
Grant
they're,
not
gonna,
they're,
not
gonna,
say
that
until
we
get
all
of
our
financing
lined
up,
but
that's
9,
175
000
and
the
last
piece
is
the
Appalachian
communities
Grant,
which,
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
looks
like
it's
going
to
have
to
be
a
regional
request
and
the
connections
that
Ohio
or
I'm
sorry
Senator
Horizons
has
with
other
communities
across
Appalachia,
will
allow
us
to
coordinate
that
effort
to
make
this
request.
G
B
D
Well,
thank
you.
Member
Grace
I
think
that
under
Mr,
space's
leadership,
Mr
Rises
and
others
have
done
great
work.
It's
on
the
creek
Horizons
I
know.
There's
been
some
discussion
about
other
projects
that
they
might
be
able
to
contribute
to.
Are
we,
but
are
we
sticking
with
this
proposal
of.
F
Armory,
we
are
what
I'd
like
to
do
looking
into
next
year.
I
actually
started
to
budget
for
it
this
next
year
or
for
this
year
to
keep
them
on
as
a
consultant
on
things
like
our
EV
electrification
here
in
the
city
of
Athens,
as
one
big
project
that
we
really
need
some
help
with
and
some
other
things
there
are.
There
is
an
opportunity
just
to
share
real
quick
with
the
the
Appalachian
communities
grants.
F
There's
three
different
buckets
that
we're
looking
at
right
now,
as
we
were
being
told
by
director
maholic
from
odod
Ohio
Department
of
development,
is
that
there's
going
to
be
550
million
in
implementation
dollars.
That
comes
out
at
the
same
time
as
250
000,
Per
County
against
us
to
be
asked
for
and
applied
for
for
planning.
So
there's
planning
dollars
and
there's
this
year's
implementation
dollars.
And
then
next
year
there
will
be
the
450
million
in
implementation
dollars.
F
You
know,
technically,
we
could
apply
for
up
to
4.5
million
in
planning,
but
not
wanting
to
try
and
scarf
up
all
the
money
we're
going
to
hopefully
apply
for
about
half
of
that
for
mppy
and
one
of
the
big
topics.
That's
going
on
within
the
mayor's
partnership
for
progress
is
active
transportation
and
looking
at
connecting
a
lot
of
trails
that
currently
are
not
connected
with
each
other.
C
Yes,
director
Stone
Could,
you
elaborate
on
the
scope
of
collaboration
involved
in
the
Grant
application
that
would
be
at
the
regional
level.
G
So
all
indications
member
carrier
are
that
projects
that
have
a
a
regional
benefit
will
score
more
highly
in
the
rubric
that
will
be
published.
You
know
any
day
now
related
to
the
early
implementation
dollars,
one
of
the
very
one
of
the
categories
that
that
that
the
feedback
we've
gotten
is
going
to
be
square.
G
The
highest
is
if
there
is
a
project
or
series
of
projects
that
involve
more
than
one
community,
and
not
just
you
know,
County
in
the
city
kind
of
all
together,
but
actually
multiple
counties
and
across
the
region,
and
so,
for
instance,
in
the
Armory
Endeavor
we're
looking
at
a
a
project
that
will
facilitate
a
share
working,
co-working
environment
that
could
take
place
here
and
allow
for
for
folks
to
live
in
this
area
and
then
subsequently
have
a
a
place
to
to
work
from
time
to
time
and
that's
the
the
business
or
the
non-profit.
G
Ultimately,
that
will
run
and
be
the
end
use
of
the
Armory.
There
are
a
couple
other
communities
in
Southeast
Ohio
that
have
a
a
similar
project
on
deck
and
they're
shovel
ready
Shockton
is
the
one
that
is
most
aligned,
but
also
Somerset
is
another
one.
Gloucester
is
another
one
that
have
projects
that
are
similar,
that
if
we
could
create
a
Nexus
between
those
that
would
allow
for
us
to.
Basically,
we
justify
a
request
that
said
hey.
G
This
is
a
regionally
beneficial
project,
because
these
these
four
or
three
or
four
projects
have
some
sort
of
Arrangement
where
users
could
could
use
them
in
all
those
communities.
So
we
think
that
it's
it's
a.
We
think
it's
a
legitimate
ask.
We
really
do
and
it
will
be
a
strong
request.
C
B
Other
questions
from
the
committee
other
members
of
council,
okay,
any
questions
from
the
audience
all
right.
Thank
you
for
that
update.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
Mr,
chicky
and
moving
on
the
next
items
on
the
agenda
are
to
talk
specifically
about
updates
to
our
city
code
and
our
law.
Director
is
here
to
sort
of
talk
us
through
this
process.
Why?
This
is
something
that
we
do
and
what
is
involved
and
to
answer
questions
that
members
of
council
might
have
do
you
want
to
sort
of
take
it
from
there.
I
Sure,
thank
you.
So
about
a
year
ago,
I
came
before
Council,
because
one
of
my
projects
that
I
had
hoped
to
implement
was
to
update
our
city
code
and
it
hadn't
been
updated,
had
not
been
updated
as
far
as
traffic
and
criminals
since
about
1994.
In
fact,
the
OVI
law
was
very
outdated,
so
our
city
code
is
published
by
municode,
which
is
owned
by
Civic.
Plus
I
had
contacted
some
municode
wasn't
able
to
do
it
to
actually
update
our
code.
I
They
weren't
in
Ohio,
although
wow
they
weren't,
updating,
Ohio
codes,
I
looked
at
a
different
company
and
during
the
pandemic
learned
that
municode
was
doing
updates,
so
we
contracted
Services
of
Muni
code
to
actually
go
through
our
criminal
and
traffic,
and
last
year
I
presented
to
you
updates,
and
it
was
quite
extensive.
If,
if
you
recall
it
was
pretty
expensive
also,
so
we
did
that
and
the
reason
it
needs
to
be
done
before
the
end
of
the
year
is
so
that
it
can
actually
be
codified
into
the
code.
I
So
we
did
that
we
updated
Criminal
Traffic
and
it
all
came
to
a
head
when
we
had
the
city
police
cited
under
the
Athens
city
code
for
a
theft,
defense
and
the
code
still
said
that
misdemeanor
was
300
and
we
knew
that
under
the
Ohio
Revised
Code
it
was
actually
a
thousand
dollars
and
there
was
a
little
bit
of
concern
about
how
that
would
affect
our
our
criminal
case.
So
that's
when
it
really
came
to
a
head
and
I
knew
that
we
had
to
really
move
forward
and
update
it.
I
So
we
did
that
update
and
then,
if
you
I
know
that
we
all
actually
member
McCary,
worked
very
hard
on
this,
as
did
the
mayor
to
update
the
code
as
far
as
the
gender
language.
So
that's
something
that
was
done
this
year
each
year
the
Ohio
legislature
updates
their
Ohio
Revised
Code.
They
changed
the
revised
code,
they
add
things
they
delete
things
and
municode
has
provided
us
with
the
changes
from
titles,
seven,
which
is
traffic
and
the
general
offenses
which
are
13.
I
I,
carefully
reviewed.
Those
changes,
I
also
had
Jesse
branner
who's,
the
assistant
go
through
those
changes,
and
then
we
presented
those
two
clerk,
the
clerk
and
she
presented
those
to
you,
I
included
I
debated
because
under
705
31
is
the
private
Tollway
zones
and
I
debated
whether
or
not
to
present
that
to
you.
I
Knowing
that
we
had
had
an
ordinance
that
was
not
past
and
there
was
quite
a
bit
of
talk
with
Council
on
updating
the
towing
Provisions,
but
I
included
it
because
I
wanted
you
to
see
the
updated
language
from
the
Ohio
Revised
Code,
so
tonight,
I'm,
actually
going
to
recommend
that
you
strike
that
705
31
to
give
committees
or
the
person
who's
going
to
bring
this
forward
an
opportunity
to
actually
look
at
the
whole
Towing
section
under
the
private
Tollway
zones.
That
would
be
my
recommendation
recommendation
for
right
now.
I
I
think
there
were
some
concerns
about
that.
So
what
you
see
before
you
are
titles,
seven
and
that's
the
traffic
and
then
the
general
offenses.
There
aren't
as
many
for
title
13
General
offenses,
but
the
new
Provisions
that
were
passed
during
this
year
by
the
Ohio
legislature
are
underlined
and
the
things
that
have
been
removed
have
a
strike
through
them.
I
I
The
city
police
can
cite
under
the
city
code
and
then
some
of
that
money
comes
back
to
the
city.
It's
a
complicated
process,
but
the
city
police
do
often
cite
under
the
city
code
and
the
one
incident
where
they
cited
under
the
city
code,
and
it
still
said
three
hundred
dollars
was
a
problem
for
our
criminal
case.
So
I
just
think
that
it's
important
to
keep
this
updated
and
again
those
two
sections
had
not
been
updated
since
probably
1994.,
so
I'm
thankful.
D
D
D
I,
don't
you
know
I,
don't
know
when
the
you
know
how
recent
the
Ohio
revised
code
is.
D
Do
we
want
to
include
our
micro
Mobility,
our
e-scooters,
even
listed
here
under
the
exceptions
because
it
does
say,
accept
motor
size,
motorized,
bicycles
and
electric
bicycles,
knowing
that
we
have
these
in
our
community?
Do
we
want
to
list
them
there
to
draw
attention
to
that
exception?.
D
And
then
sort
of
you
know,
I
wasn't
terribly
concerned
about
that.
I
just
was
on
my
mind
and
I
thought.
Maybe
Mr
cheeky
would
would
stay,
but
it's
possible
that
director
Stone
could
can
answer
this
I'm,
sorry
that
that's
going
to
take
us
in
the
wrong
direction.
Let
me
just
continue
with
this
definition
under
BBB
vehicle
and
I'm
I'm.
Just
you
know.
Legal
language
confuses
me
beyond
belief.
D
D
D
I
was
under
the
impression
that
the
Ohio
Revised
Code
defines
a
bicycle
as
a
vehicle
and
allows
it
to
take
up
a
lane
of
traffic
that
there
is
no
requirement
that
this
seems
to
to
say
that
that
bicycle
has
to
move
over
to
the
right
hand.
Side
of
the
road
to
allow
passing
by
a
passenger
by
a
faster
vehicle.
D
Then
move
actually
going
backwards,
a
little
bit
7.0404.
D
I
was
just
curious.
It
seems
to
me
that
c
is
maybe
a
little
vague
in
the
case
involving
a
violation
of
this
section,
the
Trier
of
fact
in
determining
whether
the
vehicle
was
being
operated
at
an
unreasonably
slow
speed
shall
consider
the
capabilities
of
the
vehicle
and
its
operator
again.
Thinking
of
a
bicycle
I'm
wondering
how
the
Trier
of
fact
would
determine
whether
someone
was
riding
their
bicycle
at
an
unreasonably
slow
speed.
I
That
one
I
think
that,
when
we're
talking
about
the
prior
fact
that
would
be
court
right.
The
judge
and
just
here
here
it
states
that
the
judges
to
consider
the
capabilities
of
the
vehicle
and
the
operator.
I
D
One
happened
to
have
conked
out
right
across
the
street
from
my
house
this
weekend
and
so
I.
It
was
actually
laying
across
the
sidewalk,
so
I
picked
it
up
and
leaned
it
against
the
bushes
so
that
it
wasn't
obstructing
somebody
walking
down
the
sidewalk
and
I
haven't
ridden
one
of
the
new
scooters.
I
haven't
paid
a
lot
close
attention
to
them,
but
I
saw
there's
a
big
sticker
right
on
the
bottom.
D
That
says
no
riding
on
sidewalks
is
that
in
our
agreement
with
these
provider
that
that
the
these
devices
are
not
to
be
ridden
on
sidewalks,
yes,
okay,
so
sometimes
they
are,
of
course,
that
we
know
that,
but
I
was
also
surprised
that
they
seem
to
be
working
quite
well
on
Court,
Street
and
I
thought
that
we
had
geo-fenced
Court
Street
and
the
arteries
for
the
devices
not
to
work
in
that
area,
at
least
with
the
previous
provider.
G
Remember
crowd:
I
was
not
prepared
to
speak
under
this
particular
committee.
Title
VII
update
tonight
on
whether
or
not
the
geofencing
was
correct
on
Court
Street.
However,
I
can
inquire
with
that.
I
have
not
personally
seen
any
on
Court
Street
proper,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
it's
not
true
so
I
will
have
to
check
on
that.
D
Fine,
thank
you.
I
didn't
mean
to
put
you
under
anyway
that
just
came
up
as
I
read
through
this
today,
thinking
about
both
bicycles
and
e-scooters,
and
what
we
have
here
in
the
city
of
Athens
and
how
this
these
new
Revised
Code
apply
to
our
community.
Thank
you.
Law,
director.
H
You
I,
too,
wondered
about
the
I
agree
with
you
about
the
the
little
scooter
things
because
I've
seen
more
and
more
of
them
lately
and
they
seem
pretty
cool
actually,
but
I
can
see
how
they
could
be
a
little
bit
of
a
problem.
H
I
think
I'd
like
to
kind
of
transfer
that
into
the
fact
that
I'm
on
The
Pedestrian
accessibility
committee,
and
so
we
are
looking
at
pedestrian
in
a
broader
way
than
is
normally
considered
and
we're
looking
at.
You
know,
bicycles
and
anything
that
rolls
or
strolls.
So
there's
kind
of
that
the
electric
thing
is
a
little
beyond
that.
But
still
where
do
we
have?
H
How
do
we
get
those
can
under
consideration
as
part
of
our
thinking
about
being
more
pedestrian
friendly
in
general
and
trying
to
keep
our
vehicles
that
are
motorized
off
people
using
it
less
and
I
do
want
it
to
bring
attention
to,
and
this
seems
again
pretty
minor,
but
on
the
the
traffic
lights
and
all
that
I
can't
remember
what
page
that's
on
and
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
this
with
a
law
director
elizen,
but
it
brings
up
an
excruciating
detail
how
people
are
supposed
to
respond
to
every
possible
lighting
light
situation
and
one
of
the
things
that
doesn't
bring
out
really
so
I
didn't
see
it.
H
H
I
do
have
one
other
thing
go
ahead,
so
I
appreciate
the
comments
about
holding
back
on
Towing,
oh
before
I
say
that
one
of
the
things
that's
a
little
bit
confusing
with
this
is
that
this
doesn't
show
the
entirety
of
the
ordinances.
So
there's
like
the
change
was
C
or
something
but
b
and
a
weren't
aren't
there.
So
that's
a
little
bit
confusing
in
trying
to
go
through
this
and
I'm
wondering
if
we
ought
to
look
at
all
of
it.
Well,.
I
We
did
have
it
all
in
yeah
and
we
we
meaning
Debbie,
Walker
and
I,
discussed
how
best
to
present
this
and
the
most
cost
effective
way
to
do
it
as
far
as
being
codified,
but
we
can
certainly
add
those
back
in
so
that
you
can
see
them.
B
Well
and
I
was
just
going
to
say
when
member
Crowell
was
speaking
about
70404,
section
c,
which
is
an
addition.
It's
in
a
case
involving
a
violation
of
this
section,
the
prior
effect
in
determining
whether
the
vehicle
was
being
operated
at
an
unreasonably
slow
speed,
shall
consider
the
capabilities
of
the
vehicle
and
its
operator.
B
So
if
someone
is
cited
for
traveling,
so
slowly
that
they're
blocking
or
impeding
traffic,
the
additional
language
is
telling
the
court
take
into
account
the
capabilities
of
the
vehicle
that
has
been
cited,
and
so
we
we
can
see
the
whole
thing
if
we
pull
up
our
current
Muni
code
and
then
overlay
like
or
look
at
two
documents
side
by
side
as
far
as
okay.
Well,
what
is
the
addition
and
so
to
me,
reading?
What's
currently
in
our
code
and
then
referencing
the
language
to
be
added
to
me,
it's,
like.
B
Oh
well,
that
makes
sense
and
I
and
it's
clearly
an
improvement
as
far
as
taking
into
account.
The
capabilities
of
the
cyclist
I
would
hope
that
that
they
would
not
be
cited
for
moving
so
slowly
that
they're
impeding
traffic,
but
if
they
were,
the
court
is
to
take
into
account
the
type
of
vehicle
and
the
capabilities
that
it
is.
So
to
me,
that's
that's
an
improvement
on
our
current,
but
it
does
take
a
bit
of
looking
at
two
different
documents
to
see
the
whole
picture.
B
H
I,
actually
don't
have
a
problem
with
the
I.
Personally,
don't
have
a
problem
with
leaving
the
towing
Parts
in
there
what's
a
little
bit
confusing
and
I
guess
I
need
some
clarification
about
this
law,
director,
Eliason
and
maybe
Administration
that
in
Reading
over
you
know
the
orc
and
towing
it
at
nauseam.
There
are
some
things
that
aren't
included
in
here
that
are
part
of
the
orc
and
wondering
if
that
needs
to
be
incorporated
in
here
too.
H
Is
kind
of
included
in
here
already,
but
some
isn't
so
if
we
pass
this
with
the
entirety
of
it,
we
would
still
have
the
opportunity
to
revise
the
toying
ordinance
separately
is
my
understanding
right?
Is
that
correct.
I
Yes,
this
is
private
Tollway
zones
right.
These
are
the
zones
that
are
created,
I
mean
you
could
see
how
specific
this
is.
It
is
of
everything
every
eye
has
to
be
dotted
t-crossed
and
the
signs
have
to
comply
with
the
Ohio
Revised
Code.
So
we're
just
talking
about
the
private
toeway.
The
problem
is
when
it's
not
a
problem,
but
when
you
get
back
to
section
M,
we
refer
back
to
706
17,
which
is
the
amount
for
the
toe,
which
is
the
fifty
dollars
and
more
than
50
dollars.
H
Right,
but
there
are
some
specifics
in
here
regarding
Towing
procedures,
exactly
yes,
those
are
all
in
the
revised
code
right
exactly
and
something
not
mentioned
here.
That
I
think
is
relevant
and
perhaps
I
guess
I'm
a
little
bit
curious
about
this
violations
by
towing
companies
can
be
a
minor
Mr,
minor
misdemeanors
or
if
repeated
can
be
more
serious,
misdemeanors
and
I.
Think
people
need
to
know
that.
B
E
Guess
this
that's
following
up
on
this
would
be
a
question
for
the
law
director
if
we
were
to
strike
strike
7.05.31
from
this
from
our
discussion,
what
rules
and
regulations
would
be
in
effect
current
code,
the.
E
E
E
I
guess
I'm
inclined
I
mean
this
is
this
is
good
I
mean
I
spent
a
lot
of
it
and
I
I
must
say
and
I
want
to
commend
the
mayor
right
off.
The
bat
really
appreciate
the
administration.
Getting
all
these
materials
to
Debbie
and
Debbie
to
us
I
mean
it
really
there's
a
lot
of
work
this
weekend,
but
boy
I
feel
a
whole
lot
more
prepared
coming
this
meeting
than
you
know,
just
seeing
it
for
the
first
time.
E
So
thank
you,
everybody
who
was
what
was
responsible
for
doing
that,
but
you
just
pick
any
of
these
things
out
of
here.
For
example,
no
towing
service
shall
remove
a
vehicle
from
a
private
tow
away,
Zone,
except
pursuant
to
a
written
contract
the
status
of
some
really
clear
guidelines.
It
really
does
in
great
detail,
and
certainly
one
legislation
that
we've
passed
to
be
good
legislation,
but
also,
as
we
did
last
week,
to
do
it
in
a
timely
manner.
I
So
it
sounds
to
me
like
what
what
council
wants
to
see
is
the
entire
ordinance
section
so
that
you
can
see
the
references
if
there's
a
and
b
and
you
just
had
C
and
D,
which
we
can
do
that
and
then
there
are
some
other
questions
but
I
remember:
Krall
I
may
ask
you
I
may
email
you
to
be
more
specific,
so
I
can
try
to
answer
that.
So.
B
C
Go
ahead,
this
is
a
quick
question.
I've
been
looking
for
a
concept
that
I
know
is
jaywalking,
but
it
looked
like
looks
like
Ohio
Revised
Code
might
refer
to
as
pedestrians
walking
in
roadway,
but
I
am
wondering
if
you
can
direct
me
to
where
that
would
be
in
here.
B
So
the
only
thing
that
in
these
ordinances
are
things
that
changed
under
Ohio
revised
code
during
the
past
year
and
so
therefore
Unicode
then
contacts
the
city
of
Athens
and
says
hey.
These
are
things
you
need
to
update
if
you
want
to
stay
aligned
with
orc,
and
so
if
there
were
no
changes
to
those
particular
codes
in
the
in
the
past
year,
then
there
would
we
wouldn't
see
anything
in
the
ordinances
here
and
what
we
have
on
the
books.
Thank
you
currently
in
the
city
is
matches
what's
on
orc,
but.
C
E
This
is
a
procedural
question
and
probably
for
the
president
of
council
looking
at
the
calendar,
if
we,
if
we
continue
to
follow
the
schedule,
we've
followed
for
this
calendar
year
Counting
next
week,
the
17th
of
October.
We
have
five
regularly
scheduled
business
meetings,
the
17th
of
October,
7th
and
21st
of
November
and
the
5th
and
19th
of
December,
because
this
doesn't
involve
any
money.
B
I
Public,
but
if
it
doesn't
get
codified,
it's
fine
also
it'll
will
still
I
think
I'm
correct
in
saying
that
it
would
still
be
online
yes,
but
it
just
won't
be
in
the
updates
that
we
get
of.
I
We
are
working
on
in
my
office,
we're
working
on
Title,
11
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
going
to
get
to
you
before
in
time
and
there's
some
major
changes
in
Title
11
that
we're
going
to
present.
I
Well,
there
are
some
pretty
serious
questions
as
far
as
the
vehicle
motor
vehicle,
the
devices
that
we
have
in
town
right.
It
sounds
like
more
clarity.
Okay
is
needed.
D
B
B
J
D
Thank
you,
President
nisley.
We
have
one
item
on
our
agenda
tonight
and
that
is
the
community
center
roof
replacement.
This
would
be
amending
an
ordinance
passed
in
May
of
this
year:
zero
five,
twenty
zero,
fifty
ordinance
50
22..
D
D
The
original
authorization
in
May
was
for
432
900
dollars,
so
this
is
a
difference
of
fifty
two
thousand
one
hundred
dollars.
The
city
Administration
is
recommending
that
we
appropriate
another
sixty
seven
thousand
one
hundred
dollars
to
make
this
an
even
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
community
center
roof.
I
will
note
that
this
is
not
only
a
brand
new
roof,
but
does
include
solar
deck
board,
as
well
as
the
the
rack
anchors
for
the
solar
panels.
D
The
modules
that
we
heard
tonight
from
Mr
Greenfield
I
think
probably
the
best
place
to
take
these
additional
funds
from
is
our
Capital
fund
fund
580..
D
D
We
have
already
allocated
money
from
fund
272
as
well
as
273
and
City.
Administration
would
really
like
to
avoid
using
any
more
money
from
that
Levy
fund,
and
that
is
why
I
am
recommending
tonight
to
take
the
additional
money
from
from
580
our
Capital
fund.
D
We
want
the
city.
Administration
would
like
to
get
this
out
to
bid
so
that
we
don't
lose
any
further
time
and
but
they
can't
really
award
this
bid
until
this
amendment
passes
as
it
comes
in
higher
than
the
current
authorization.
E
G
For
instance-
and
this
is
new
information
as
of
this
afternoon,
but
we
got
what
wall
and
tennis
courts
this
afternoon,
that
was
85
over
the
architect's
estimate
and
8.5
85
over
the
architect's
estimate,
so
185
of
the
architect's
estimate
and
it's
a
function
of
just
demand
in
the
construction
industry
at
the
moment,
so
we're
seeing
probably
similar
circumstances
with
roofers.
G
And
so
you
know
that's
the
feedback.
Basically
that
we're
getting.
Is
that
we're
not
going
to
be
successful?
If
we,
because
you.
G
Under
under
the
under
state
law
is
that
a
design
professional
must
provide
an
estimate
for
public
Improvement.
That's
either
an
architecture
and
engineer
depending
upon
the
nature
of
the
construction
that
is
published
with
the
bid
and
a
public
entity
may
not
award
for
greater
than
within
10
percent
of
whatever
that
published
estimate
is,
and
so
the
feedback
we're
getting
is.
G
If
we
publish
an
estimate
based
upon
the
previous
number,
which
is
432
000
and
some
change,
you
know
nobody's
going
to
come
in
within
10
percent
of
that
so
they're
recommending
that
we
go
forward
with
480
485
000,
basically
as
the
that's
right
just
based
on
what
they're
seeing
in
the
market
right
now
now.
G
Down
you
know,
as
as
we
get
into
next
year
and
and
supply
chain
gets
a
little
better
and
and
labor
gets
a
little
a
bit
more
free
on
certain
trades.
But
for
the
time
being,
if
we're
to
visit
today,
the
recommendation
is
to
increase
the
architect's
estimate
to
495.
G
So
I
asked
to
have
the
additional
money
come
out
of
capital
because
I'm
trying
to
avoid
tapping
273
anymore,
that
we
have
to
you,
know
we're
zeroing
out
272,
which
is
the
levy
that
was
passed
to
build
the
community
center
back
in
you
know,
20
years
ago
we're
using
the
rest
of
the
money
in
that
fund
and
then
that
fund
will
go
away
basically,
but
we've
got
lots
of
capital
things
in
the
rec
world,
and
so
our
thinking
is
the
roof.
G
You
know
that's
a
logical
Capital
cost
just
like
the
roof
on
this
building
and
the
roof
on
other
buildings
in
the
city.
The
580
would
necessarily
be
used
for.
So
we
thought
that'd
be
an
appropriate
place
to
take
this
additional
money.
