Description
Athens City Council - February 21, 2022
A
B
B
B
C
B
Mayor
patterson
of
communications,
we'll
move
on,
we
have
a
full
agenda
tonight.
We
have
some
ordinances
for
third
reading
and
when
we
read
those
for
the
third
time
we
do
include
include
a
brief
summary
of
it
and
then
see
if
there
are
any
final
comments
or
questions
and
then
move
on
to
the
vote
for
the
ordinances
for
second
reading.
We
are
doing
just
that.
We
are
reading
it
for
the
second
time
the
title
of
the
ordinance.
There
is
typically
not
discussion.
B
There
is
sometimes
a
suspension
and
we
do
have
a
suspension
of
one
ordinance
tonight.
I
think
that
needs
a
to
be
completed
in
time
for
a
grant
authorizing
a
grant
application
to
the
safe
routes
to
school
program
and
then
ordinances
and
resolutions
for
first
reading.
There
will
be
some
explanation
of
those
as
we
talk
about
them
for
the
first
time
so
ordinances
for
third
reading
122.
B
D
D
D
We
have
to
do
this
periodically
in
order
to
have
the
last
five
years
of
the
correct
tax
rates
in
the
municipal
code.
So
the
change
here
to
this
to
the
code
is
the
following:
effective
january
1st
2017
changed
from
2016.
the
tax
shall
be
levied
at
a
rate
of
1.85
percent
and
that's
a
change
from
1.65.
B
D
And
this
is
the
housing
revolving
fund
loan
administration
agreement
as
mentioned,
and
this
agreement
between
the
ohio
department
of
development
in
the
city
of
athens
is
for
the
period
from
january
1st
22
to
december
31st
2026.
So
it
is
a
five-year
agreement
and
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
this
ordinance.
B
F
D
D
This
is
you
know,
the
ohio
department
of
development
administers
the
federal
program
called
the
community
development
block
grant
cdbg,
which
you
may
have
heard
in
front
of
council
before
they
also
do
the
home
investment
partnerships
program
and
both
in
the
the
the
city
is
a
excuse
me
eligible
recipient
of
funds
from
both
of
these
programs,
and
we
have
used
these
funds
to
finance
certain
activities
for
for
many
many
years
mayor.
Could
you
provide
us
with
some
of
the
uses
of
this
fund
yeah
a
lot.
G
Of
this
is
for
lmi
home
improvements,
you
know
replacing
heating
and
cooling
systems,
it's
been
used
to
repair
or
replace
a
roof
on
qualified
applicants,
homes
here
in
the
city
of
athens,
and
this
ordinance
is
basically
giving
hapcap
the
hocking
athens,
perry
community
action
group.
The
ability
to
administer
this
as
opposed
to
the
city
administering
it
we
have
in
the
past
for
for
many
years,
been
the
the
primary
administrator,
but
in
communications
with
glenn
crippen
at
hapcap.
G
You
know
their
success
at
being
able
to
qualify
for
other
funding
streams
that
that
are
similar
to
this.
We
felt
that
it
would
be
good
to
have
hapcap
manage
this
particular
program
for
the
city
of
athens,
but
the
citizens
would
still
apply.
They
would
apply
through
hapcap
to
get
this
type
of
of
loan
to
again
make
home
improvements.
D
Thank
you
mayor.
I
found
the
pertinent
language
I
was
looking
for.
The
development
goals
are
one
improving
the
affordable
housing
stock
and
two
providing
for
the
affordable
housing
needs
of
low
and
moderate
income
persons
in
designated
areas
of
the
housing
revolving
loan
fund.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
and
part
of
the
reason
hapcap
is,
is
that,
as
the
mayor
said,
that
agency,
that
provides
so
many
of
those
wrap-around
services
for
our
clients
in
athens
county.
So
this
is
a
it's
a
good
partnership,
all
right.
We
have
a
motion,
and
second
then,
and
if
no
other
questions
we'll
have
the
vote
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
B
D
D
To
be
updated
in
the
2022
appropriation
ordinance,
including
5
000,
appropriated
to
the
general
fund
for
the
auditor's
office
for
a
new
printer
copier,
six
thousand
dollars
to
the
general
fund,
fire
for
structural
repairs
to
the
fire
department
headquarters
and
one
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
the
tax
incremental
finance
fund
for
the
school
share.
The
athens
city,
school
district
share
of
that
tax,
incremental
financing,
and
then
the
section
two
of
this
ordinance
includes
includes
the
transfers
between
funds,
including
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
general
fund
to
the
cemetery
fund.
D
Five
thousand
dollars
from
the
parking
garage
fund
to
the
general
fund,
150
000
from
the
american
rescue
plan
act
fund
to
the
community
center
fund,
135
600
from
the
parking
garage
fund
to
the
parking
garage
debt
fund
and
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
water
fund
to
the
water
treatment
plant
improvement
debt
fund,
waste
water,
water
treatment,
plant
approval
debt
fund.
Thank
you,
president.
Eisenhower.
Okay,.
B
H
I
Thank
you,
president
nisely.
As
a
reminder,
this
is
a
project
to
help
us
interconnect
our
city
buildings
with
fiber
in
the
ground,
replacing
our
outdated
point-to-point
microwave
system
and
in
section
three
we
indicate
that
the
service
safety
director
would
hereby
be
authorized
to
expend
up
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
american
rescue
plan
act.
Funds
for
said
project,
and
this
project
is
one
that
would
be
taking
place
over
five
years
and
six
different
phases
for
the
purpose
of
improving
our
internet
connectivity.
H
B
B
And
mine
does
not
have
it,
so
I
will
move
right
here.
Okay,
this
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
execution
of
a
contract
reopener
with
the
athens
city,
fraternal
order
of
police,
ohio,
labor,
council
inc
and
the
city
of
athens
patrol
officers,
lieutenants
and
communication
officers
concerning
wages,
and
this
is
introduced
by
the
finance
and
personnel
committee.
Thank.
J
B
F
F
H
B
H
I
Mccary,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
a
controversial
topic
for
many
community
members
who
have
concerns
over
how
much
law
enforcement
is
compensated
for
their
work,
and
I
understand
that
these
negotiations
don't
all
unfold
in
front
of
the
public,
so
that
this
proposed
one
thousand
dollar
one-time
retention
payment
might
be
significantly
less
than
what
may
have
been
requested
and
I
think,
providing
that
kind
of
context.
In
addition
to
council,
member
crowl's
comments
is
important
to
note.
Okay,
thank
you.
J
Yes,
thank
you,
president
eisley.
I
also
want
to
just
mention
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
having
monies
for
services,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
that's
being
done,
there
is
efforts,
and
there
is
a
program
in
place
to
provide
crisis,
intervention
and
screening
that
I
think
answers
a
lot
of
the
questions
about
where
money's
going.
J
In
addition
to
you
know,
police,
and
that
is
a
developing
program,
and
also
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
providing
sufficient
funding
for
our
police
means
that
we
get
the
best
quality
police
officers
and,
in
my
experience
with
the
city,
they
really
are.
So
I
just
want
to
have
that
for
the
record.
Thank.
F
Jordan
pays
all
six
months,
franklin,
member
stillness.
I
would
like
to
respond
to
your
comment
on
police
funding.
The
major
cities
give
literal
billion
or
like
tens
of
millions,
even
to
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
to
their
police,
more
funding
than
some
countries
have
for
their
militaries,
and
yet
they
are
still
terrorizing
their
citizens.
J
K
K
I've
never
had
any
problem
with
it.
I
think
they
have.
They
do
a
pretty
good
job,
considering
what
we
have
to
do
with
the
transient
population,
and
I
say
transient,
I
mean
students
who
come
in
and
have
an
attitude
sometimes
that
where
yoko
is
here
or
something
okay,
but
I
think
it's
necessary,
sometimes
because
I've
seen
them
stolen
from
us,
so
to
speak,
you
know
police
force
and
it's
one
good
one
you
have
to
pay
doesn't
mean
you
don't
pay
for
other
services.
Other
services.
B
H
D
L
L
Court
and
not
congress
yeah
congress.
So
let
me
read
this:
whereas
the
city
received
one
million
five
thousand
dollars
in
odot
transportation,
alternative
program,
tap
funds
for
construction,
whereas
the
project
limits
are
west
washington,
street
between
congress
and
college
and
state
street
between
congress
and
college,
and
whereas
the
project
will
review
the
recommendations
in
the
active
transportation
plan
completed
in
2018
and
includes
improving
the
safety
of
the
area
for
bicycles
and
pedestrians
by
adding
standard
amenities,
safety
items
and
com.
L
H
G
Just
a
point
of
clarification,
as
you
read
the
second,
whereas
it
states
that
it's
west
washington
street
between
congress
and
college
west
should
be
struck
from
that,
because
that's
actually
east
and
west
washington
street
in
between
college
and
congress,
that's
an
editorial
chain
or
a
just
a
grammatical
change.
I
don't
think
that
this
warrants,
unless
clerk
of
council
feels
it
needs
to
be
amended
back
to
first.
G
G
We
did
just
a
little
bit
of
historical
knowledge
for
anyone
watching
when
we
did
do
the
improvement
on
west
union
and
between
congress
and
court
street.
They
did
mill
it
down
when
I
noticed
that
there
was
all
brick
underneath
there.
I
said:
let's
rethink
this,
but
when
we
did
mill
it
there
was
so
much
concrete
patchwork
that
had
been
done
on
that
particular
street
that
in
extra
work
that
would
have
to
go
into
that.
To
start,
you
know,
rethinking
the
curb
cuts
and
all
of
that
in
that
section
we
just
went
ahead
and
pressed
forward.
F
H
B
L
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
this
ordinance
that
was
discussed
in
committee
has
been
read
twice
before
it's
the
type
of
ordinance
that
we
do
every
year
in
order
to
dispose
of
older
vehicles
that
just
simply
aren't
worth
keeping
any
longer.
So
I
would
urge
everyone
to
vote
for
this,
so
I
will
make
a
motion
that
we
adopt
0,
9
22.
B
H
B
E
M
B
J
J
M
B
B
B
B
Council
members,
elected
officials
or
the
audience,
if
not
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
Ordinance.
14
22
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
purchase
of
softening
salt
for
the
water
treatment
plant
and
is
introduced
by
council
member
mccary.
N
B
H
I
Thank
you.
This
has
come
up
in
city
and
safety
services
we're
on
the
third
reading.
I
am
most
excited
about
the
quality
intended
for
this
restroom
facility,
including
the
family
restrooms,
and
the
desire
to
make
this
a
durable
structure
that
can
withstand
the
elements,
vandalism
and
anything
else.
We
need
it
to.
A
I
Right,
so
we
are
in
many
ways
trying
to
keep
up
with
current
trends.
In
this
case,
it's
decentralizing
some
of
our
technological
operations
in
partnership
with
a
firm
bssi
that
we
have
had
council
members
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
with.
I
appreciate
those
who've
taken
time
to
look
thoroughly
at
contracts
and
seek
neutral
parties
input.
This
is
something
that
our
city
and
safety
services
director
is
especially
strongly
in
support
of,
and
I
would
like
to
encourage
folks
to
pass
this.
B
E
I
B
I
Thank
you
president
nicely.
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
adopt
ordinance
1722.
Second,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
folks
realize
how
important
it
is
that
we
have
safe
fire
safety
facilities
and
we
did
find
some
additional
structural
repair
needs
in
the
midst
of
trying
to
do
all
we
can
to
keep
our
current
headquarters
standing
up
as
long
as
we
can.
So.
This
is
a
very
important
piece
to
pass
for
the
safety
of
those
who
work
for
our
fire
department,
and
I
hope
folks
will
support
this.
L
B
I
I
appreciate
the
enthusiasm
on
this
one
as
it
is
immediate
follow-up
to
the
previous
ordinance
discussed.
Not
only
are
we
trying
to
make
repairs
to
keep
what
we've
got
standing
as
long
as
possible,
but
we
know
we
just
need
an
entirely
new
fire
station.
This
has
been
on
the
books
for
some
time
and
if
we
could
make
it
magically
appear
tomorrow,
we
would
but
I
would
hope
that
we
can
adopt
this,
so
it
can
happen
as
soon
as
possible.
I
B
O
Thank
you
president.
I
actually
just
had
one
question
actually
for
administration,
and
I
remember
we
had
talked
about
additional
sort
of
like
open
house,
town
hall,
sort
of
style
meeting
about
the
fire
station
at
the
because
there
was
one
last
month
at
the
community
center,
and
I
heard
there
was
gonna
be
another
one
in
march,
was
there
a
confirmed
date
for
that?
Yet.
B
All
right,
thank
you.
So
there
will
be
time
for
additional
public
comment.
Yes,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved,
we'll
now
move
on
to
ordinances
for
second
reading
and
ordinance
10
10
22
there
it
is
now
is
an
ordinance
granting
a
special
right-of-way
use
permit
to
paul
richard
owner
dba,
good
works,
100
central
avenue
to
construct
an
accessible
parking
space.
This
is
introduced
by
council
member
grace.
M
B
K
Well,
through
airspeed,
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
that
we're
giving
away
public
right-of-way
for
this
type
of
system.
It's
a
new
built
building
they've
already
have
three
variances.
They
went
through
zoning
board
of
appeals.
I
assumed
for
that
two
of
them,
of
course,
had
setback
issues
which
I
understand
on
the
corner
lot.
That
can
be
a
problem.
On
the
other
hand,
the
other
one
was
a
variance
for
a
lot
of
coverage,
36
30
versus
36,
so
they
went
up
to
36.
K
Now
they
don't
have
room
for
parking,
so
we're
going
to
use
public
right-of-way
for
this.
So
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
about
how
this
is
going
down.
I
understand
it's
a
good
cause,
etcetera,
etcetera,
but
the
fact
is
that
I
look
down
the
road
and
say
this
is
a
parking
space
and
I
should
have
planned
better
on
this,
especially
if
they're
going
to
go
over
coverage.
K
On
another
note,
I
noticed
looking
at
it
and
walking
around
almost
doing
a
geoscio.
There's
two
electric
meters
on
this
thing.
Two
electric
meters
usually
imply
that
it's
a
duplex.
This
is
an
r1
zone
25
years
ago.
The
citizens
in
that
area
down
zoned
it
from
r2
to
r1,
I'm
hoping
it's
not
going
to
need
another
variance
for
that
in
theory
as
an
r1,
it
only
requires
it
requires
three
unrelated
people,
no
more!
Thank
you.
Okay,.
P
Brock
galac
morris
avenue
here
in
the
city,
speaking
for
myself,
yeah
I
serve
in
the
bza
and
it
did
come
before
us.
This
did
come
forth
a
couple
times
for
variances,
but
honestly,
if
you
build
and
try
and
replace
any
building
in
the
city,
especially
the
near
the
near
neighborhoods
like
the
west
side
and
near
east
side,
you
cannot
rebuild
a
house
legally,
according
to
our
code,
our
zoning
code,
because
it
restricts
the
ability
to
replace
the
house.
I'm
in
right
now
probably
would
not
fit
on
the
property
based
on
coverage
or
setbacks.
P
P
Most
of
our
lots
are
below
the
standard
lot
size
now,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
this
problem
repeatedly
because
our
code
is
essentially
written
badly.
So
I
think
that's
my
partial
explanation
for
why
this
project
has
some
variances,
but
I
do
think
it
was.
It
seemed
reasonable
to
me
as
a
citizen
here,
not
speaking
from
the
original
appeals
necessarily
but
as
a
citizen
from
my
observations,
they
were
reasonable
requests.
I
think
so.
Okay.
B
B
E
Two
weeks
ago,
at
our
last
regularly
scheduled
meeting
when
we
discussed
this
ordinance,
there
were
a
couple
of
areas,
at
least
that
the
law
director,
I
believe,
according
to
my
notes,
was
going
to
look
into
one
had
to
do
with
process,
particularly
the
complaint
process,
and
the
second
had
to
do
with
sanctions
and
penalties,
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
we
have
an
update
on
that.
Perhaps
we.
N
N
N
So
if
you
look
at
307
69,
it
talks
about
other
legal
action,
but
looking
at
307
99
is
the
penalty,
so
the
penalty
is
any
person
firm
or
corporation
violating
any
provision
of
this
section
or
any
amendments
or
supplements.
There,
too,
shall
be
guilty
of
a
minor
misdemeanor
and
upon
conviction
shall
be
fined
not
more
than
150
and
each
and
every
day
which
discrimination
continues
shall
be
deemed
a
separate
offense.
N
N
There's
another
section
here:
307
69,
that
talks
about
other
legal
action
and
it
states
that
nothing
in
this
section
of
the
code
shall
prevent
any
person
from
exercising
any
right
or
seeking
any
remedy
to
which
he
or
she
might
otherwise
be
entitled
or
from
filing
any
complaint
with
any
other
agency
or
court
of
law
event
for
equity.
So
that
means
that
an
individual
could
file
a
civil
action
also
if
there
were
a
violation.
N
I
Thank
you
so
much.
I
do
want
to
express
appreciation
for
the
work
that
our
law
director
has
done
to
help
clarify
what
this
process
looks
like.
It
is
not
new
for
the
athens
community
relations
commission
to
field
discriminatory
complaints.
However,
this
particular
ordinance
is
updating
our
understanding
of
racial
discrimination
as
being
inclusive
of
discrimination
based
on
hair
style
and
texture.
I
Personally,
I
feel
very
moved
by
reports
of
experiences
of
many
colleagues
and
citizens
who
have
expressed
that
they
have
been
discriminated
against,
but
haven't
been
aware
of
all
of
their
recourse
and
a
lawsuit
can
seem
very
intimidating.
I'm
appreciative
that
this
is
a
citizen
based
commission
that
can,
as
the
law
director
indicated,
refer
to
either
mediation
or
potential
investigation
by
police,
which
could
lead
to
prosecution,
but
I'm
really
grateful
that
this
doesn't
preclude.
You
know
a
civil
suit
that
might
more
accurately
reflect
the
kind
of
impact
that
someone
might
experience
under
this
circumstance.
I
I'd
also
just
add
that
president
neisley
and
I
were
able
to
speak
to
the
athens
community
relations
commission
chair
john's
meeting
just
this
morning
to
confirm
the
understanding
that
this
is
a
responsibility
of
the
commission
and
that
the
educational
piece
will
be
an
important
component.
I'm
also
recognizing
that
this
would
extend
to
ohio
university.
I
think
that
was
a
question
at
one
point
that
this
discrimination
wouldn't
be
allowed
anywhere
in
athens,
such
that
I
do
believe
it
will
be
important
to
be
in
dialogue
with
ohio,
university's
office
of
equity
and
civil
rights.
I
Compliance
where
currently,
ohio
universities,
students,
staff
faculty,
would
likely
take
such
a
complaint
without
necessarily
knowing
that
they
have
these
additional
avenues
and
resources.
So
I
appreciate
the
willingness
and
the
service
of
our
athens
community
relations,
commission
and
all
those
who've
been
working
on
this.
N
I
just
had
one
thing
to
add
and
remember:
mccary-
and
I
were
discussing
this
but
to
to
understand
this.
This
is
the
portion
of
the
athens
city
code,
and
this
applies
to
things
that
happen
in
the
city,
not
something
that
happens
outside
the
city
limits,
but
it
would
have
to
be
something
that
happens
in
the
city
of
athens.
D
N
Well,
that's
interesting:
there
are
things
in
our
city
code
that
do
apply
to
a
high
university
property,
for
instance
our
city
income
tax.
That
definitely
applies
to
ohio
university
property
because
we
taxed
the
employees,
and
so
this
would
be
something
that
would
apply
also
to
ohio
university
property.
A
lot
of
times
ohio
university
will
have
well
since
their
state
property,
the
state
code
applies,
and
maybe
where
we
have
disorderly
conduct.
We
wouldn't
the
police,
wouldn't
cite
under
the
city
code,
because
the
state
code
would
allow
for
that.
I
B
Any
other
questions
or
comments,
council
members,
other
elected
officials
or
our
audience
members
all
right.
If
not,
that
will
be
read.
That's
now
been
read
for
the
second
time
ordinance.
26
22
is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
section
9.11.10,
faith
coverings
in
public
spaces
and
declaring
this
ordinance
an
emergency
measure
to
extend
through
may
31st
2022.
H
M
M
M
I
guess
the
term
used
to
be
fully
vaccinated
but
sort
of
adding
to
the
the
ongoing
changes
and
and
unpredictability
of
covid,
and
we
really
need
to
have
a
higher
percentage
of
individuals
not
just
vaccinated
twice
but
but
having
a
booster.
This
most
recent
variant
has
shown
that
it
has
the
ability
to
get
past
our
initial
vaccination
and
we
have
an
even
lower
percentage
of
our
population
that
has
received
a
booster
shot.
M
I
I
believe
that
fewer
than
20
26
of
athens
county
residents
have
received
a
booster
dose.
So
my
my
purpose,
with
bringing
up
that
information
is,
is
that
we
have
a
lot
of
vulnerable
individuals
still
in
our
community.
There
are
a
lot
of
families
that
have
children
under
five
years
old,
who
don't
have
the
option
of
vaccination,
and
we
have
community
members
who
have
different
health
vulnerabilities
that
are
immunocompromised
or
immunosuppressed
for
different
reasons,
and
we
still
have
a
fairly
high
case
rate.
M
M
M
I
would
like
to
offer
an
amendment
to
this
ordinance
that
will
change
the
effective
date
to
keep
a
mask
mandate
in
place
through
the
end
of
march,
so
to
march
31st
2022,
and
the
only
other
thing
I
want
to
highlight,
as
as
part
of
discussion
before
I
make
that
an
official
motion
is
I've.
I've
received
some
comments
about
you
know.
Well,
no
one
else
anywhere
around
us
is
requiring
masks.
Other
places
aren't
doing
it.
Other
cities
are
dropping
theirs.
B
I
You,
president
knisley,
I
just
want
to
express
appreciation
for
this
amendment
and
support
for
it
just
building
on
council
member
grace's
comments.
I
do
recognize
that
what
makes
athens
largely
distinct
is
the
university
presence
and
the
students
who
are
about
to
be
headed
out
on
spring
break,
let
alone
faculty
staff
who
are
going
to
be
traveling
likely
to
places
where
masks
aren't
being
enforced,
and
I
believe
that
giving
us
some
time
to
see
the
impact
of
that
once
folks
can
return
to.
Athens
is
wise.
B
J
Okay,
thank
you
very
much,
president
eisley,
and
for
the
other
comments
of
member
grace
and
mccary,
I
agree
with
the
mat
the
the
march
change,
but
I
would
like
to
add
to
that
a
little
bit.
I
too
have
done
a
lot
of
reading
about
this.
I
have
put
it
on
facebook
to
add
for
local
facebook
to
ask
people
on
the
west
side
and
other
groups
what
they
think.
J
I
think
member
mccrary
sort
of
alluded
to
that,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
they
are
in
transition
in
trying
to
get
their
policy.
They
haven't
gotten
it
nailed
down
yet
but
they're
trying
to
get
their
policy
set
so
that
it
is
a
transition
from
full
masking
everywhere
to
kind
of
gradually
get
to.
First
letting
people
in
the
dorms
not
wear
masks
if
they
don't
if
cases
are
diminishing
and
then
finally
in
the
classroom.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
graduated
thing,
as
I
understand
it
or
less
that's
the
discussion
at
this
point.
J
J
I
have
entered
information
and
and
emails
have
come
to
council
with
clear
scientific
evidence
showing
that
masks,
work
and
anyone
who
says
otherwise
is
just
being
misinformed.
So
I
want
to
be
absolutely
clear
that
that's
in
the
record
and
that
we
are
not
giving
license
to
people
to
say
I
don't
wear
a
mess,
no
big
deal.
No,
it
really
is
a
big
deal,
as
member
grace
indicated
it
does
affect
people's
health
and
there
are
scientific
studies
showing
that
that
we
have
entered
into
in
the
in
the
record.
J
So
I
we
also
received
a
group
of
a
letter,
an
email
from
16
health
professionals
who
have
asked
that
it
be
extended.
So
we've
gotten
again
issues
people
on
both
sides.
We
also
have
a
new
omicron
variant
that
may
be
more
dangerous
and
maybe
more
contagious.
That
is,
as
you've
heard
in
hong
kong
is
having
a
terrible
problem
with
covid.
Their
hospitals
are
full
and
it's
it's
it's
a
nightmare,
and
we
want
to
see,
if
maybe
that's
going
to
be
an
issue
too.
J
Let's
see
a
couple
other
points
I
want
to
make.
I
did
ask
chief
pyle.
This
is
the
other
side
of
the
story,
though
I
did
ask
chief
pyle
for
the
complaint
calls
about
complaints
about
not
wearing
masks
and
since
the
beginning
of
2022,
we've
had
five
complaints
and
there's
been
no
citations
in
all
of
2021.
J
There
were
65
in
all
complaints
about
five
per
month
with
no
citations,
and
the
goal
has
always
been
according
to
chief
pyle,
that
we
want
to
encourage
people
to
wear
masks
and
to
offer
non-compliant.
People
masks
so,
and
he
estimates
that
approximately
40
of
people
in
the
stores
are
not
wearing
masks
or
are
wearing
masks.
J
Excuse
me,
so
I
think
one
of
the
concerns
is
it's
really
not
being
enforced,
but
on
the
other
hand,
some
there
are
some
businesses
who
feel
that
it's
important
to
have
it
on
the
record
so
that
they
can,
because
it's
their
preference
to
keep
their
employees,
and
you
know,
clients
and
customers
safe
that
having
that
as
a
record
is
positive.
So
pardon
me
for
extending
this,
but
I
have
another
point
I'd
like
to
make.
J
While
I'd
like
to
end
the
mask
mandate
at
the
end
of
march,
I
also
propose
that
in
the
meantime,
we
look
at
the
potential
for
creating
a
new
mask
mandate
that
would
be
driven
by
triggers
in
terms
of
icu
capacity
and
rates,
so
that,
if
ice,
that
the
local
hospitals
have
a
capacity
of
hardly
anything
left,
and
obviously
this
would
have
to
be
determined
that
we
would
say.
Okay
now
the
mass
mandate
is
going
to
be
is
gonna
automatically
or
in
some
easy
way.
J
I
don't
know
how
it's
done,
I'm
still
new
yet
be
in
force
again,
and
when
it's
not
it's
it's,
it
goes
back
to
not
being
in
force.
So
I
think
that
having
a
a
trigger
mechanism-
and
I
think
there
are
organizations
that
do
this
sort
of
thing
for
emergency
information.
So
if
we
track
the
data
and
create
this
kind
of
emergency
sort
of
it
works
if
we're
in
trouble,
I
think
that
will
help
and
I've
gotten
some
support
from
people.
J
E
E
Now
that
we
kick
this
back
to
first
reading
and
we
only
have
one
more
meeting
in
the
month
would
it
be
appropriate
to
go
ahead
and
suspend
the
rules
this
evening
to
get
this
passed
because
we're
going
to
have
to
suspend
them
next
week,
even
if
it's
a
special
meeting
and
secondly,
so
that
we
can
give
the
citizens
of
athens
notice
now
not
on
the
very
last
day
of
the
existing
mass
coordinates
that
this
will
extend
until
march
31st.
So
we
can
give
a
clear
message.
B
B
B
D
D
So
I
think
it's
more
the
signs
that
are
out
and
I
don't
think
they
will
disappear
so
I'm
comfortable
for
one
having
a
special
session
next
week
and
giving
the
citizenry
a
week
to
talk
about
the
amendment
tonight
instead
of
jumping
through
and
doing
it
tonight,
but
that's
just
one
opinion.
Thank
you.
B
And
I'll
tell
you
what
let's
do,
let's
what
we
have
on
the
floor
right
now
is
an
amendment
to
change
the
end
date
and
we're
having
the
discussion
on
that.
So
if
we
can
see
if
there
are
any
other
comments
and
amongst
council
members,
and
then
we
will
move
to
other
elected
officials
in
the
audience
as
well,
councilmember
grace
thank.
M
M
M
Folks,
we
have
a
new
variant.
That
is,
is
putting
our
our
community
at
risk
and
we
need
to
keep
going
longer.
So
I
do
want
to
want
to
be
open
about
that
and
say
that
there's
a
another
variant
that
that
has
to
be
watched
for
a
little
bit
and
I
I
have
certainly
thought
about
the
possibility
of
changing
front,
rather
than
a
set
date
changing
to
a
set
of
parameters.
M
But
just
as
as
we're
discussing
whether
or
not
the
public
would
have
enough
notice
when
we
passed
this
ordinance
for
the
public
to
be
informed
of
when
the
hospital
hospitalization
rate
drops
below
a
set
mark
or
when
the
case
rate
drops
below
us
at
mark
and
so
for.
Anyone
to
know
when
masks
are
required
and
when
mask
are
not
required,
it
would
get
really
complicated
and
it
would
be
difficult
to
educate
people
about
what
the
current
status
is.
Is
my
concern
with
that
type
of
a
proposal.
J
Thank
you,
president
nicely.
I
guess
my
comment
would
be
that
I
think
it's
worth
the
discussion
about
doing
it.
The
way
I
was
suggesting,
but
regarding
the
issue
right
now,
we
could
always
my
thought
was
that
we
could
pass
the
organ
said
as
is,
and
then
repeal
it
when
we
want
to
so
we
wouldn't
have
to
go
through
this
special
session
thing.
J
B
F
F
I
personally
think
it
would
make
more
sense
to
just
keep
it
at
the
current
date
and
then
let's
say
you
know
just
in
case
there's
a
you
know,
the
variant
of
concern
becomes
an
issue
or
if
we
like,
and
it
could
just
be
repealed
if
it
turns
out
pay
covets,
no
longer
a
huge
problem
here
and
it
is
below
the
you
know
scientifically
recommended
levels
of
transmission
for
that
to
be
safe.
Okay,.
M
But
if
I've
really
gone
back
and
forth
both
ways,
because
it's
we
can
extend
for
different
lengths
of
time
and
have
and
who
knows
when
we'll
need
to
be
back
to
discuss
it
again,
this
the
other
thing
dr
gaskell
said
is,
is
the
only
thing
that
has
been
really
predictable
about
this
pandemic
is
the
unpredictability,
and
so
it
has
has
been
a
challenge.
But
I'm
trying
to
to
reflect
that
that
we
are
hearing
the
concerns
from
everyone.
B
H
L
B
Okay,
the
motion
carries
with
one
one
descent
so
that
amendment
passes
it's
been
read
for
the
first
time
and
as
mentioned,
we
will
move
towards
a
special
session
next
monday
night,
so
that
this
can
be
read
and
passed
or
voted
on.
Excuse
me
we'll
now
move
on
to
ordinances
for
first
reading.
Oh
excuse
me.
Yes,
yes,
in.
E
B
It's
it's
set
either
way,
we've
done
it
both
way
either
way,
and
so
we'll
have
discussions
this
week
and
we
will
let
people
know
and
we'll
have
it
published
on
our
agenda
to
make
sure
we
have
people
know
and
what's
slightly
different
about
a
special
session.
Just
for
point
of
matter
is
that
it
is
just
that
and
it's
only
for
the
purpose
of
reading
the
ordinances.
So
we
don't
have
the
usual
communications
reports,
other
businesses
and
things
like
that.
L
L
L
L
H
B
L
L
In
this
case,
we're
mainly
talking
about
road
salt,
which
I
think
everybody
here
is
familiar
with-
is
that
nice
white
powder,
that's
left
on
your
car
after
the
snow,
is
all
gone,
which
believe
me,
it's
not
intentional
from
the
city,
but
it
does
do
wonders
of
getting
the
ice
off
the
streets,
so
I
could
read
through
the
various
sections,
but
I
don't
really
think
that's
that's
necessary.
It's
on
everyone's
drive.
So
when
this
comes
up
for
a
vote,
I
highly
recommend
that
we
we
adopt
it.
Okay,.
B
I
B
I
The
first
time,
okay,
so
we
did
speak
about
this
at
committee,
but
the
idea
is
to
continue
to
improve
our
recreational
facilities
whenever
possible.
So
we
would
like
to
get
some
new
tennis
and
pickleball
courts,
and
this
was
a
this
is
a
authorization
for
our
city,
safety
services,
cities,
service
safety,
director
to
advertise
and
accept
bids
where
necessary
and
enter
into
contract
with
the
lowest
and
best
bidder
for
design
services
for
said
tennis
and
pickleball
courts.
B
E
I
E
That
said
before,
we
get
this
too
far
down
the
road.
I
think
we
really
need
to
get
a
handle
on
what
that
figure
should
be
and
talking
to
two
ohio
tennis
firms
today
describing
what
we're
going
to
do.
They
said
we
better
be
at
least
to
300
000
if
we
hope
to
do
a
project
like
we
talked
about
last
week.
E
In
which
the
rec
advisory
board
has
been
talking
about
doing
it
just
seems
to
me
something
difficult
to
sell,
sell
to
the
public
when
we're
talking
about
spending
a
quarter
million
dollars
on
recreation
and
then
coming
back
to
the
public
and
asking
for
another,
fifty
thousand
dollars
more,
which
we
will
have
to
do.
If
we
want
to
do
the
project
as
it's
currently
designed.
B
E
G
C
I
was
just
going
to
comment
that,
because
until
we
have
our
design
services
done,
we
won't
know
exactly
what
it's
going
to
cost.
We
often
for
big
projects
do
the
design
separately
and
I
think
we
have
an
ordinance-
that's
gone
through
here
just
for
design,
but
because
this
is
combined,
we
really
aren't
going
to
know
and
and
because
this
combines
both
of
those
we
should
probably
move
forward.
That's
my
opinion
and.
B
H
J
H
J
Stillness
yeah,
I
guess
honestly,
when
I
read
this,
I
thought
it
seemed
to
me
anyway
kind
of
odd
to
lump
those
together
that
that
was
my
first
thought
is
as
long
as
we're
down
this
road.
It
seems
as
though
design
in
in
my
experience
is
done
first
and
then
once
that's
done,
because
if
it's
done
by
the
same
group,
it
seems
like
they'd
have
a
reason
to
want
it.
I
don't
know
I
it
just
seemed
odd
to
me.
So
I
I
just
need
to
comment
on
that.
B
C
My
opinions
from
experience-
and
the
fact
is
we
do
have
a
highly
qualified
engineer
working
for
the
city
who
comes
up
with
most
of
these
estimates,
to
begin
with,
to
give
us
an
idea
of
what
we're
going
to
be
working
with,
but
we
can
separate
it,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
that's
necessary
if
you
want
to
move
it
along.
Okay,.
B
E
B
B
B
B
H
B
I'm
striking
that,
thank
you
any
other
questions
or
comments
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
3122.
This
is
an
ordinance
granting
a
special
use
permit
to
marietta
memorial,
healthcare,
inc,
206
columbus
road
to
allow
parking
and
a
monument
sign
in
the
city's
right-of-way
introduced
by
councilmember
grace.
M
Thank
you
president
nicely,
and
yes,
this
ordinance
does
exactly
what
the
title
says.
It
is
granting
a
permit
to
marietta
memorial
to
allow
them
to
have
parking
and
their
sign
on
the
city's
right-of-way,
which
we
know
on
columbus
road.
That
right-of-way
is
is
very
wide
and
we
discussed
this
in
committee
last
week.
I.
M
B
M
B
D
D
D
B
This
is
r122
a
resolution
to
appropriate
two
parcels
of
real
property
and
fee
simple
by
warranty
deed
and
to
appropriate
real
property
for
a
temporary
right-of-way
easement
for
a
highway
project
identified
as
the
west
union,
athens,
west
union
street.
Pursuant
to
a
high
revised
code
719.04
and
revised
code
719.05
and
revised
code
163
is
introduced
by
all
members
of
council
and
council
member
crowl.
I
believe
you
will
lead
off
on
this.
D
D
D
So
after
all
this
consideration
and
talking
with
the
director
of
the
engineering
public
works
department
and
the
mayor
and
the
service
safety
director
and
council
members,
I
thought
okay.
So
what
are
the
routes
that
could
this
cut
through
are
proposed
for
this
cut
through
well,
one
is
harold
avenue
and
which
is
right
by
larry's
dog
house
and
shooting
it
straight
over
to
west
state
street.
D
That's
one
route
and
then
another
route
kind
of
winds.
Back
to
this,
the
the
the
owner's
property
that
is
being
proposed
for
eminent
domain,
taking
the
straight
shot,
puts
you
out
right
at
the
first
baseball
field,
as
you
enter
the
park
on
your
right
and
that's
not
an
ideal
place
to
create
an
intersection
because
of
the
activities
that
will
be
going
on
there
and
the
number
of
children
in
the
area.
D
It
also
would
be
a
straight
shot,
and
we
all
know
that
people
who
tend
to
speed
will
do
so
more
readily
on
a
very
straight
road
than
on
a
curving
road,
but
mostly
it's
because
of
where
that
road
would
access
the
park.
It
sort
of
would
create
another
dangerous
intersection
in
a
heavily
congested
area
where
the
proposed
route
to
the
private
property
that
needs
to
be
taken
under
this
eminent
domain
action
curves
is
more
of
a
curving
road.
D
It's
not
taking
anybody's
house.
It
is
taking
a
lot,
an
open
lot.
Next
to
the
homeowner,
who
owns
the
lots
house,
and-
and
I
don't
this
is-
this-
has
been
difficult
for
me
to
to
support
this
this
taking,
but
but
I
but
I
do
and
it
it.
It
enters
west
state
street
about
200
yards
from
where
those
baseball
fields
start.
So
it's
in
a
much
safer
place
in
terms
of
the
number
of
children,
a
number
of
parents
and
others
who
will
be
specifically
accessing
the
baseball
field
area
of
the
park.
D
Parts
of
this,
because
I
do
feel
it's
very
important
and
should
be
read
into
the
record-
and
people
should
hear
it
today,
whereas
it
is
necessary
for
the
public,
convenience
and
welfare
to
acquire
two
parcels
of
real
property.
Parcel
19wd1,
which
is
a
part
of
parent
parcel
ol882
in
fee,
simple,
by
warranty,
deed.
More
particularly
described
in
the
attached,
exhibit
a
and
parcel
19
wd2
in
fee,
simple,
by
warranty,
deed.
D
More
particularly
described
in
the
attached,
exhibit
a
both
for
a
highway
project
identified
as
athw
west
union
street,
with
reservation
of
access
in
the
city
of
athens,
athens,
county
ohio
and
then
I'm
going
to
dump
jump
down
a
whereas
to
whereas
the
fair
market
value
of
the
property
and
the
rights
title
interests
and
estates
therein
and
the
structures,
if
any
situated
thereon
to
be
appropriated
for
a
temporary
right-of-way
easement
and
for
fee.
Simple
title
by
warranty.
D
B
J
This
is
really
uncomfortable,
as
you
said,
and
it's
never
been
done
actually
in
athens
before
so.
I'm
concerned
that
the
message
I'm
getting
from
some
people
is
that
they
feel
as
though
this
has
been
sort
of
not
getting
enough
public
reaction
to
this
issue.
But,
as
you
pointed
out,
there
have
been
public
meetings
about
this
and
we
have
published
that
this
was
going
to
be
done
and
it's
been
going
on
for
three
years
and
also
there
was
a
question
about.
J
J
Exactly
thank
you
for
pointing
that
out,
but
in
the
concerns
that
people
have
I
wanted
to,
and
and
thank
you
for
the
comments
about
why
this
is
important.
But
I
would
like
to
ask
the
mayor
if
you
could,
please
add
to
what's
already
been
said
about
the
value
of
this
and
why
we
should
be
voting
for
it.
G
Sure
you
know
and
remember:
crowl
has
already
mentioned
several
of
them.
You
know
back
in
february,
16th
of
2017
we
had
the
16-inch
water,
mine,
water
main
break
that
occurred
down
in
that
area.
Unfortunately,
it
didn't
inc
occur
in
the
intersection
of,
say,
central
avenue
and
west
state
street
had
it.
It
would
have
opened
a
lot
of
people
in
the
apartment
complexes
as
well
as
the
homes
down
there.
You
know
so.
Safety
is
a
big
issue
that
we
see
down
there.
G
You
know
we
have
a
lot
more
athletics,
taking
place
in
what
state
street
park
and
if
ems
needs
to
get
there
quickly,
they
traditionally
are
coming
via
shaffer
avenue
from
west
union
and
then
looping
back
around
and
heading
into
the
park.
This
would
change
that
in
terms
of
response
times
to
get
to
that
area.
It
would
also
affect
response
times
for
ems
and
for
police.
G
The
herald
avenue
is
an
area
where
we
see
the
potential
for
economic
development
to
occur
along
the
just
north
of
larry's
doghouse
up
in
that
area.
So
this
opens
that
up
it'll
also
to
some
degree
balance
out
the
traffic
flow
that
runs
through
that
particular
part
of
the
city.
You
know
the
west
side
and
along
the
west
union
corridor,
we've
got
athens
public
transit
that
has
their
their
garage
down
in
that
area
where
they
have
to
go
all
the
way
up
to
shaffer.
G
If
they're
going
to
be
turning
in
different
directions
as
well
as
coming
back
in
they've
got
basically
one
way
in
one
way
out
once
you
get
beyond
central
avenue.
The
same
holds
true
for
the
service
garage
and
a
lot
of
traffic
that
currently
is
going
to
be
going
up,
state
street
or
shaffer.
This
allows
them
to
access
west
union
and
balance
traffic
flow
out
as
well,
and
you
know
I
again,
we
were
seeing
the
growth
of
sports
in
that
area.
G
So
there's
a
you
know,
going
to
be
continue
to
see
a
large
volume
of
vehicles,
and
at
this
point
the
only
way
to
get
in
there
is
again
going
to
be
from
from
shaffer
from
west
state
street
east
of
shaffer.
You
know
everyone's
funneling
in
to
get
to
west
state
street
park.
You
know
using
that
this
one
offset
a
lot
of
that
traffic
flow
to
where
the
other
option
is
to
come
strictly
off
of
west
union.
E
Safety
getting
vehicles
into
that
area,
so
something
could
happen
or
something
positive
could
happen
in
a
negative
situation,
in
other
words,
there's
one
way
in
and
there's
one
way
out.
Well,
I
got
some
calls
this
week
and
it
dawned
on
me.
There
are
quite
a
few
neighborhoods
in
this
city
that
are
one
way
in
and
one
way
out,
mr
reiser,
your
neighborhood
new
cunning
soviet,
your
neighborhood
briarwood
norwood.
E
E
E
E
E
The
citizens
felt
was
the
best
way
in
we
talk
about
citizen
input.
This
hasn't
been
going
on
for
three
years.
This
has
been
going
on
for
23
years
and
in
a
post
article,
which
one
of
your
forebears
may
have
written.
It
was
made
very
clear
that
not
only
was
blue
rhine
drive
a
bad
way.
All
of
these
were
bad
lays.
E
E
It's
going
to
be
a
cut
through
if
I'm
in
white's
mill-
and
I
want
to
go
to
columbus
road.
How
am
I
going
to
go?
I'm
going
to
go
down
union
street,
I'm
going
to
cut
through
harold
avenue,
I'm
going
to
get
up
to
central,
make
a
left
on
central,
get
to
2nd
avenue,
drive
up
past
the
auditor's
house
and
I'm
on
columbus
road,
and
one
of
the
reasons
I
might
do
that
there
are
people
who
hate
roundabouts
and
we're
about
to
put
in
another
roundabout
at
the
corner
of
union
and
shaffer.
E
We're
not
going
to
do
that.
Fantastic
we've
already
got
the
barbie
round
about
about
100
yards
up.
We
don't
need
ken
to
match
glad
to
hear
that
a
lot
of
people
are
very,
very,
very
happy
about
that
first
responders,
other
than
ems.
The
majority
of
our
first
responders
are
coming
from
uptown,
both
the
sheriff
and
the
police
straight
down
west
state
street
or
from
the
fire
department
on
ridgeland
avenue
or
the
existing
fire
department.
They
wouldn't
use
this.
E
E
We
often
talk
about
well,
the
people
wanted
this,
and
the
people
wanted
that.
Yes,
the
people
who
know
what's
going
on
in
this
town,
we're
down
to
one
paper
one
day
a
week,
the
athens
news,
a
printed
paper,
unfortunately,
don't
have
the
post
anymore
printed,
and
the
message
are
what
three
days
a
week.
Most
people
don't
know
this.
B
I
think
you
have
one
of
several
options
right
now.
You
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
table
and
I
think
the
only
way
that
it
ever
on
that
it
is
before
us
and
that
it
would
only
be
if
the
person
who
made
the
motion
and
seconded
it
agreed
to
remove
that
and
accept
a
motion
to
table
the
other
option
and
which
I
don't
think
is
going
to
happen.
B
B
D
D
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
input.
I
you
know.
Member
swank,
I
wish
that
everybody
paid
attention
to
to
city
council
and
read
their
newspapers,
whether
it's
the
printed
copy
of
the
post.
I
picked
up
on
my
way
up
the
stairs
here
this
today
or
or
our
other,
our
other.
You
know,
newspapers
and
and
the
radio
etc.
D
D
M
Before
coming
to
the
point
where
we
are
now,
if
I
I
have
not
ever
been
asked
to
consider
an
imminent
domain
and
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
projects
in
athens,
so
I
it's
not
something
that
is
taken
lightly
or
acted
on
quickly.
So
I
believe
that
there's
likely
been
a
lot
of
consideration,
a
lot
of
thought
and
analysis
given
before
coming
to
the
point
of
asking
council
for
this
action.
Do
you
would
you
like
to
comment
on
on
that?
G
G
G
G
So
that's
a
long-winded
answer
to
your
question,
but
in
terms
of
design
engineering-
and
I
remember
well,
the
public
forum
that
occurred
down
at
the
innovation
center.
So
not
only
was
there
one,
it
was
one
that
was
strategically
placed
in
an
area
where
people
who
lived
near
where
that
project
was
going
to
take
place,
had
easier
access
to
be
able
to
attend
that
public
hearing
or
forum.
We
may
have
had
several
it's
been
so
long
ago.

A
couple
of
couple
of
points,
one:
if
we
vote
on
this
resolution
and
it
fails,
I
believe,
that's
the
end
of
the
that's
the
end
of
the
process.
I
mean
I
and
I
and
I
I
I'm
remembering
something
that
that
director
stone
said
in
response
to
a
question
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
and
I
don't
know
if
he
had
the
legal
authority
to
to
state
that
unequivocally.
D
N
The
resolution
isn't
appropriating
the
property.
The
resolution
is
a
resolution
to
authorize
a
court
action
which
is
then
a
petition
in
athens,
county
common
police
court
to
take
the
property
by
eminent
domain.
Now
we
also
would
ask
to
immediately
be
able
to
go
on
the
property
and
when
the
petitions
filed,
the
amount
here
has
to
be
deposited
with
the
court
with
the
clerk
of
courts.
N
N

D
D
You
know
more
citizen
input
is
always
a
good
thing
and,
as
I
try
to
say
from
the
very
beginning-
and
I
think
members
be
on
this-
also-
is
that
this
eminent
domain-
this
is
the
most
serious
thing.
I
think
I've
been
a
part
of
in
terms
of
sitting
on
on
city
council,
so
I
I
don't
take
it
lightly.
But
to
go
back
to
what
my
initial
comments,
I
think
the
due
diligence
has
been
done.
D
B
Thank
you.
So
we've
had
the
comments
here.
I'm
going
to
take
entertain
a
comment
from
the
mayor.
Then
I
know
we
have
several
members
who
have
waited
two
hours
to
make
a
comment.
We're
going
to
give
you
three
minutes,
I'm
going
to
time
it,
but
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
gets
an
opportunity
to
comment
tonight
so
mayor,
patterson
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
to
the
audience.
Members.

Q
The
issues
that
have
been
presented
to
council
is
a
justification
for
extending
harold
road
to
west
state
street
and
therefore
requiring
the
taking
of
a
residential
property
on
west
state
street.
As
is
stated
in
the
proposal,
I
realize
there's
a
circular
language
going
on
it's
only
about
money,
but
the
money
is
about
taking
the
property.
Q
Health
and
safety
and
emergency
access,
two
emergency
provider
outfits
along
with
oblena's
hospital,
its
emergency
room,
ohio,
health,
urgent
care,
are
already
within
minutes
of
west
state
street.
We
are
so
fortunate
to
have
that
on
the
west
side,
emergency
access,
the
bike
path
from
west
union
to
the
lower
end
of
west
state
park,
offers
excellent
access
to
emergency
responders
at
the
far
end
of
west
state
street.
It
may
seem
on
that.
I
would
recommend
that,
but
I
have
been
told
that
at
the
end
of
ball
games,
many
not
many.
Q
Q
The
next
issue
is
traffic
congestion
and
traffic.
Congestion
needs
to
recognize
the
situation
on
west
union
and
also
west
state
and
shaffer.
Remember
little
league
activities.
Last
two
months
is
two
months
of
heavy
traffic
on
some
weeknights
and
weekends
enough
to
justify
the
taking
to
appropriate
harold
road
extension.
Q
B
Q
Third
item
economic
development,
which
was
not
discussed
tonight-
and
I
don't
know
what
the
economic
development
projects
that
are
projected
for
the
west
state
street
herald
harold
avenue
area
are,
I
would
assume
they're
spelled
out
in
the
arc
grant
which
I
have
not
seen.
But
you
have
to
ask
yourself
what
type
of
development
would
benefit
from
a
minimal
two-lane
curvy
road
that
would
not
be
better
positioned
on
columbus,
road
or
east
state
street,
both
streets
with
optimum
access.
K
Follow
up
with
mary
street,
I
attended
the
february
25th
meeting
2020
for
this
development
of
this
I
was
actually
in
opposition
of
it.
I
wrote
some
commentaries
down
on
that,
basically
saying
in
general,
I'm
opposed
to
the
opening.
I
recognize
that
there's
the
building
of
major
medical
facilities,
our
ohio
health,
will
further
consent,
congest,
shaffer
and
union
intersection,
and
need
to
open
the
herald
beltway
to
reduce
that
injection.
I
my
word,
of
course,
is:
I
live
on
the
other
end
of
central.
This
is
going
to
turn
that
whole
area
into
beltway.
K
At
that
point,
what
you're
going
to
see
is
you're
going
to
go
down.
Second
you're
going
to
go
towards
down
central,
then
cut
to
west
state.
Also,
you
can
avoid
the
traffic
signal
on
shaffer
and
union,
so
my
concern,
of
course,
is
that
we've
got
park
down
there.
We
have
increased
speeds,
we
have
about
four,
or
is
it
five
speed
bumps
in
the
parking
in
the
park
there
by
state
street
park,
because,
of
course,
people
go
too
fast?
This
is
not
going
to
slow
anybody
down.
K
If
you
look
at
the
commentary,
most
of
it
says
well,
I
can
get
there
faster,
it's
taking
too
long
to
get
in
and
out.
So
I
have
every
expectation.
It'll
have
25
mile
length,
speed
limits,
just
like
east
state
street,
which
of
course
I
think
one
of
the
replies
was
well
we'll
tell
the
police
about
it
in
the
commentary.
K
If
I
look
at
the
commentary
I
have,
I
said,
I
expect
the
opening
to
increase
traffic
through
second
central
and
west
state
street
corridor.
Reducing
traffic
flows
restore
slaughter,
rear
street
cut
through
the
response
of
that
says,
thank
you
for
your
comments.
The
traffic
flow
cannot
be
modeled.
It
is
anticipated.
The
route
to
the
uptown
area
will
remain
in
west
union
street.
K
K
It
sounds
like
something
out
of
hitchhiker's
guide
to
galaxy,
we're
going
to
do
a
bypass
and
just
take
it
out,
but
at
the
same
time
I
don't
see
this
as
something
favorable
or
even
worth
the
taking
of
somebody's
property.
I
asked
how
old
this
person
is
60
years
old,
go
ahead.
Tear
yourself
up,
take
your
property
away
from
somebody
for
six
at
60
years
old,
what
they
had
they've
lived
on,
they
lived
there
and
because
we
need
a
bypass
on
this
thing,
some
kind
of
beltway-
I
don't
know
so
in
general-
I'm
opposed
to
it.
K
K
Essentially,
what
you're
seeing
is
the
west
state
street
park
is
overused,
so
we're
paved
it's
in
a
welfare
area.
We
spend
a
million
dollars
in
remediation
and
penalties
to
fix
that
welfare
area.
That's
the
second
largest
well
field.
We
have
we're
just
about
to
ready
to
put
a
bunch
of
trucks
through
it
and
cars
through
it.
That's
all
I'm
going.
B
E
E
B
G
B
B
B
We
have
three
items
for
other
short
items
for
business
and
then
we'll
be
finished.
One
is
the
motion
to
accept
the
january
22
financial
reports.
If
I
could
have
a
motion
for
approving
these
moved
by
council
members,
if
and
seconded
by
second
second
by
council
member
swank,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
and
we
have
a
motion
to
accept
the
january
2022
credit
card
transactions,
so
moved.

Hi
jordan,
payblow
61
franklin.
I
would
like
for
council
to
pass
a
resolution
opposing
the
ohio
house
bill
454,
which
basically
outlaws
gender
affirming
care
for
transgender
youth
in
ohio
and
forces,
nurses,
counselors
and
teachers
and
school
workers
to
out
their
transgender
children
to
their
parents,
which
is
which
actively
endangers
them.
