I
highly
recommend

So

Court
street
to

for
the
7
pm,
showing
thank
you.
Member
eisner.
B
D
Thank
you.
Temporary,
yes,
and
I
did
want
to
share
a
communication
that
the
mayor
is
attending
a
wednesday
meeting
at
the
white
house
with
president
biden
and
his
administrative
staff,
and
this
is
discussing
the
effects
of
legislation,
the
american
rescue
plan
and
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
law
bill
that
has
been
passed
and
he'll,
be
there
with
mayors
from
columbus,
cincinnati,
cleveland
dayton,
akron
toledo,
youngstown,
lorraine,
illyria,
lima
and
lakewood,
as
well
as
debbie
phillips,
who
is
our
former
state
representative
in
southeast
ohio?
D
E
Thank
you,
president
pro
tem
reisner,
it
really
does
roll
off
the
tongue.
Certainly
does
I
would
like
to
move
to
table
this
this
ordinance
and
the
reasoning
behind
that
is.
We've
been
made
aware
that
the
ohio
legislature
has
unfortunately
passed
legislation
that
will
be
pre-empting
starting
on
the
23rd
of
september,
our
ability
to
or
any
municipality
our
ability
to
have
a
pay-to-stay
ordinance.
E
E
So
if
we
were
even
to
pass
this
ordinance
tonight,
it
would
not
go
into
effect
until
the
first
week
of
october
and
by
then
it
would
already
be.
You
know
you
know
null
and
void.
Unfortunately,
so
we
would
just
have
to
repeal
it
so
for
now,
I'm
just
moving
that
we
table
it
in
the
meantime,
with
the
hopes
that
maybe
a
municipality
who's
already
passed
and
we'll
challenge
it
in
the
future,
and
we
can
bring
it
back
up.
A
B
Well,
I
just
became
aware
of
it
about
20
minutes
ago,
and
I
didn't
see
the
5
30
email
that
we
all
received
from
rusty
rittenhouse.
This
hasn't
been
something
that's
been
on.
My
list
serve.
I
have
a
list
served
with
other
municipal
attorneys,
and
nor
has
the
ohio
municipal
league
discuss
this
in
any
of
the
newsletters.
So
this
was
really
news
to
me.
I
mean
I'm
well
aware
of
the
cincinnati
case
and
our
ordinance
certainly
was
very
similar
to
cincinnati,
including
the
125
dollar
cap,
on
attorney
fees.
B
B
C
C
And
I
also
read
his
email
again.
I
didn't
have
time
to
really
absorb
it.
I
didn't
have
time
to
to
dig
into
the
revised
code
and
see
what
exactly
he
was
saying.
I
didn't
have
time
to
do
any
of
that.
Nor
am
I
a
legal
expert,
so
it
wouldn't
be
worth
much
anyway,
but
if
we
are
basing
our
decision
tonight
based
on
this
last
sort
of
minute
information
without
an
opinion
from
our
law
director,
I'm
I'm
a
little
worried
about
that
course
of
action.
B
Well,
if
you
don't
table
it
and
it
does
go
into
effect,
I
mean
it
won't
go
into
effect
for
30
days
and
that
would
give
us
a
chance
to
repeal
it.
So
there
are
different
options
we
could
table
it.
I
could
issue
the
legal
opinion
and
you
could
bring
it
back
off
the
table
at
third
reading
and
pass
it
or
pass
it,
and
it
doesn't
go
into
effect
for
30
days
and
that
could
be
repealed.
So.
H
Oh
remember
michael
yes,
thank
you.
I
was
wanting
to
follow
up
on
the
possibility
of
community
member
confusion.
If
we
do
introduce
this
now
and
then
receive
contradictory
kind
of
guidance
at
the
state
level.
I
don't
know
if
that's
the
clarification
that
the
law
director
can
provide
in
terms
of
the
potential
for
that
confusion
or
if
someone
else
has
thoughts
on
that.
B
B
A
A
I
J
Absolutely
lucy
schwalle,
I'm
the
managing
attorney
of
southeastern
ohio
legal
services,
athens
office.
I
previously
had
a
written
invitation
from
council
member.
I'm
sorry
if
I'm
saying
that
wrong,
I'm
not
sure
if
that's
still,
in
effect,
so
I'd
like
to
ask
that,
because
our
funding
restrictions
prohibit
me
from
making
testimony
here
without
a
written
invitation.
K
J
I
you
know
have
been
in
touch
with
my
colleague
at
the
poverty
law
center,
who
absolutely
can
come
and
speak
to
you,
but
his
understanding
is
that
the
rent
control
ordinance
passed
by
the
state
legislature
would
not
preempt
pay
to
stay
so
again.
His
understanding
is
that
that
prohibits
the
rent
control
ordinances
that
have
been
passed
by
various
local
legislatures,
but
it
does
not.
Specifically,
you
know,
talk
about
people's
day
so
because
mr
rittenhouse
did
not
come
here
to
this
meeting
to
present.
J
J
Is
that
that
bill,
preempts,
rent
control
and
because
you
know
the
pay
to
stay,
isn't
necessarily,
you
know
changing
the
state,
the
code,
it
wouldn't
impact
like
law,
director
life,
and
I
haven't
researched
this
specifically
and
would
need
more
time.
But
that's
what
he's
telling
me
he
works
on
this.
You
know
stuff
every
day,
so
I
think
we're
all
taken
a
little
aback
by
this
right.
I
mean
this
has
been
in
place
for
a
while
too.
So
it's
not
like
this
was
a
new
state
law
that
passed.
B
So
revised
code
5321-19a,
apparently
the
new
language
is
going
to
talk
about
parties
to
rental
agreements
that
are
regulated
by
this
chapter,
but
then
under
5321.20.
It
does
specifically
talk
about
rent
contract
and
rent
stabilization,
but
they
use
different
language,
but
I
think
it's
probably
the
same.
The
rental
agreement.
J
J
G
Member
swine-
this
was
passed
on
june,
the
first
and
I
and
I
read,
and
I'm
no
attorney
and-
and
I
read
it-
the
same
way
that
and
look
it's
a
33-page
document
that
deals
primarily
with
the
hypervise
code
to
address
underground
utility
facilities
affected
by
construction,
to
exempt
mobile
computing
units
from
certain
building
regulation
to
make
changes
related
to
the
landlord
and
tenant
law.
This
is
like
going
to
kroger's
and
throwing
everything
in
a
golf
in
a
shopping,
cart
and
checking
out
as
one
family.
G
But
I
still
think
I'd
like
to
to
bring
this
to
a
vote
today
and
get
it
on
the
books
and
see
how
it
plays
out
because,
as
the
law
director
has
indicated,
even
if
we
pass
it
this
evening,
it
would
not
go
in
effect
to
30
days,
which
gives
us
plenty
of
time
to
communicate
one
way
or
another
to
the
general
public
which
may
alleviate
the
concerns
about
confusion
in
the
in
the.
In
the
public's
mind.
Okay,.
A
J
And
I
can
also
just
say
that
my
office
represents
you,
know,
individuals
who
are
at
risk
of
evictions,
and
we
hold
a
clinic
here
in
court.
So
you
know
southeastern
ohio.
Legal
services
can
also
do
our
part
to
communicate
to
you
know,
populations
that
might
be
impacted
by
this
about
any
uncertainties.
A
C
A
G
A
I
L
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
lucy's
comment.
I'm
sorry,
damon
crane,
united
athens
county
tenants,
you
know
zach
eckles,
who
lucy
mentioned,
is
with
the
ohio
poverty
law
center,
but
also
with
the
ohio
there's
a
tenant
protection
round
table.
I
believe
that
united
athens
county
county
tenants
participates
in.
L
We
had
a
monthly
meeting
just
this
last.
I
guess
a
week
ago,
on
monday-
and
you
know
this
is
made
up
of
tenant
attorneys
from
around
the
state
policy
advocacy
groups,
direct
assistance
organizations
and
everybody's
kept
a
real,
close
watch
on
legislation
at
the
state
level
when
the
rent
control
issue
came
up
back
in
june.
I
remember
zach
telling
us
about
that.
The
very
next
day
you
act,
and
we
were
all
very
dismayed
that
the
state
was
trying
to
preempt
home
rule
on
that
issue.
L
But
this
is
definitely
you
know
the
first,
not
only
we
at
you
act
and
zach
at
the
ohio
poverty
law
center
have
heard
about
this,
but
apparently
anybody
who
does
this
work
in
the
state
has
heard
about
it.
You
know
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
at
that
meeting
last
week
was
specifically
local
efforts
to
get
pay
to
stay
ordinances
passed.
We
discussed
the
effort
here
in
athens,
so
I
mean
anything's
possible.
Rusty
could
be
right.
L
A
C
Thank
you,
member
eisner,
as
discussed
at
committee
and
in
the
first
two
readings.
There
are
a
number
of
items
on
this
appropriation
ordinance
that
deal
with
increased
prices
for
fuel,
as
well
as
other
increased
supplies
that
the
city
has
to
budget
for
there's.
Also
some
costs
for
covid
sewage
testing,
which
gives
us
the
most
advanced
sort
of
warning
of
where
we
are
in
terms
of
our
our
level
on
the
city
of
athens.
C
To
the
recreation
fund
due
to
both
swimming
pool
and
soccer
expenses,
as
well
as
inflationary
changes,
and
we
also
had
a
donation-
a
grant
received.
That's
part
of
this
ordinance
as
well
as
a
donation
by
fiona
avocado
to
support
programs
at
arts
west,
and
then
we
also
have
additional
appropriation
for
the
survey
of
the
soccer
area
down
at
the
or
the
new
soccer
leased
space
and
then
also
another
grant
from
the
state
to
the
community
center
for
child
care.
E
A
This
is
really
interesting
stuff
from
the
audience
administration,
nothing
to
say
about
it.
Okay,
then,
we'll
call
for
a
vote,
all
those
in
favor
of
adopting
9822
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
All
those
opposed
signify
by
saying
no
okay,
it's
passed
9922
an
ordinance
authorizing
retroactive
pay
for
the
pool
manager
introduced
by
council
member
crowl.
A
E
C
A
A
C
M
I
J
M
We
do
have,
as
we
didn't
need
to
bid
this.
It
was
under
fifty
thousand
dollars.
We
have
a
contractor
place
now
and
you
know
it's
ready
to
go
as
soon
as
the
money
is
in
place
to
do
it.
The
you
know,
function
of
being
able
to
order
things,
but
we're
hopeful
that
by
the
end
of
this
calendar
you
can
have
that
work
done.
A
Well,
we've
had
a
second
for
it
and
I
like
to
call
for
the
vote
all
those
in
favor
of
adopting
ordinance,
101-22
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
you
guys
have
it
ordinance
for
a
second
reading
with
ordinances
for
a
second
reading.
We
usually
just
read
the
titles,
usually
no
real
discussion,
but
who
knows?
A
B
A
A
A
B
A
M
M
The
attached
changes
or
the
changes
are
attached
and
you
can
see
the
the
various
changes
with
the
strikeouts
and
then
the
the
additions
of
those
two
being
melded
together.
Additionally,
it
provides
to
the
member
schwank's
point
about
scavenging
5.02.23
has
some
additional
additional
information
about?
You
know
basically,
granting
ability
administration
to
be
able
to
enforce
our
scavenging
regulations
a
little
bit
more
firmly.
M
We
do
have
some
significant
problems
with
scavenging,
particularly
during
the
ohio
university
move
out
era
our
time
every
year
and
that
significant
amounts
of
scavenging
goes
on,
and
while
we
do
a
lot
of
planned
recycling
and
upcycling
of
material
that
is
thrown
out,
there's
also
a
significant
amount
of
unplanned.
That
is
not
very
well
controlled
and
results
in
a
lot
of
trash.
You
know
being
thrown
all
over
the
street,
as
people
are
peeling
through
rubbish.
A
B
Right
now,
it
says
that
the
licensed
hauler
has
to
carry
a
policy
of
three
hundred
thousand
slash
five
hundred
thousand,
I'm
not
like
to
clarify
that,
but
most
of
our
contracts
talk
about
a
million
dollars
per
occurrence
and
3
million
in
the
aggregate,
and
that's
for
bodily
injury
for
property
damage.
It
was
50
dollars
and,
I
think,
more
appropriate.
Although
council
could
discuss
it.
I
suppose
it
would
be
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
property
damage
if
the
truck
would
hit
a
building.
M
B
G
C
B
A
A
G
N
Morris
avenue
here
in
the
city,
I'm
just
representing
myself
500,
I
was
looking
at
the
the
other
ordinance.
I
think
it
is
that
has
the
textual
changes
to
the
existing
code.
I
thought
it
said
five
thousand
dollars
for
the
licensing
fee
and
I
was
wondering:
if
is
there
a
typo
again
or
is
it?
Is
it
literally
being
reduced
from
5000
to
500.
M
N
A
B
F
M
M
F
G
No,
never
spike
yeah.
The
reason
I
brought
that
up
is
on
the
far
east
side
when
one
exits
from
euclid
the
restaurant.
There
basically
has
a
structure
in
the
right-of-way
which
impedes
visibility
for
those
exiting
on
the
state
street.
When
you
move
to
avon,
you
run
into
the
same
thing
with
the
large
yellow
excavation
equipment
and
then
probably
the
worst
one
is
on
grand
park.
I
M
Seoul
specifically,
all
right-
and
I
I
I
don't
remember
ever
permitting
but
sold-
was
built
prior
to
me
being
a
service
safety
director
assigned
in
the
right
of
way
for
seoul.
So
it's
possible
that
that
is
a
function
of
either.
You
know
something
that
was
grandfathered
well
in
advance
or
something
that
was
there
for
the
the
maplewood
yeah.
It
wasn't
for
the
maple
leaf
that
wasn't
from
the
maple
woods,
sir.
So
we'll
take
a
look
at
where
that
is
relative
to
the
to
the
right
away.
G
Because
when
you
exit
on
those
streets,
the
markings
on
the
street
there's
a
white
bar
which
a
car
should
pull
up
to,
but
if
a
car
only
pulls
to
that
white
bar,
they
can't
see
particularly
those
cars
coming
from
the
east
from
menards.
So
what
that
forces
people
to
do
is
to
pull
all
the
way
into
the
crosswalk.
G
M
M
E
E
One
of
them
was
if
we
had
the
required
criteria
for
everything,
and
one
of
the
concerns
was
if
we
had
an
ordinance
in
place
in
our
code
that
would
meet
some
of
those
criteria
and
to
answer
that
is:
yes,
we
do
with
title
33
and
37
that
does
meet
the
requirements
for
having
a
specific
piece
about
trees
in
the
city
code.
So
we
have
that
and
then
there
was
also
a
question
if
this
was
so.
E
If
this
was
like
a
continuation
of
something,
I
think
this
is
the
first
year
that
ohio
has
received
funds
and
it's
expected
to
be
funded
in
ohio
for
the
next
five
years.
So
this
is
a
it
would
be
an
every
year
reapply
process
and
I
think
we're
also.
There
was
another
question
because
we
weren't
entirely
sure
how
much
we
were
gonna
ask
for
and
it
is
going
to
be
25
000
and
that
will
be
matched
by
the
city
with
use
of
our
tree
bank.
F
I
I
will
just
bring
up
the
the
point
that
member
spielness
made
as
to
the
location
of
trees
relative
to
our
sidewalks,
that
the
roots
of
trees
definitely
do
a
pretty
serious
number
on
the
level
status
of
sidewalks.
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
that
is
absolutely
something
to
keep
in
mind
that
it's
it's
very
nice
to
have
those
trees
between
the
sidewalks
and
the
streets.
E
I
had
a
very
enjoyable
meeting
with
the
ad
hoc
sidewalk
committee,
which
mr
delock
over
there
is
also
on,
and
I
expect
we
will
be
working
within
the
shade
tree
commission
we'll
be
working
quite
well
with
them,
as
this
project
goes
forward,
to
make
sure
that
we
do
address
that
because
it's
not
really
worth
it.
If
you
put
in
a
nice
new
sidewalk
and
then
it
gets
completely
wrecked
by
roots,
you
know
three
years
later
so
yeah
that
will
definitely
be
addressed.
Thank
you.
