and
we

as
part
of
that
once
we
start
so
we'll
get
moving
with
the
ordinances
for
third
reading
108
22..
This
is
an
ordinance
amending
app
and
city
code,
Title
Five
Public,
Utilities
chapters,
5.02
garbage
and
rubbage
and
5.05
Recycling
and
anti-scavaging
regulations,
and
this
is
introduced
by
council
member
Swank.
C
Okay,
as
I
click
through
all
this
and
get
to
the
right
screen
be
ordained
by
the
Council
of
the
city
of
Athens.
I
won't
read
this
all.
C
This
is
11
pages
and
we
have
gone
over
it
in
committee,
we've
gone
over
it
first
and
second
reading
section
one
Athens
city
code,
Title,
Five,
Public,
Utilities,
chapter
5.02,
garbage
and
rubbish,
and
5.05
Recycling
and
anti-scavaging
regulations
are
hereby
amended
to
read,
is
attached
here
too
and
Incorporated
herein
by
reference
section,
two,
the
ordinance
shall
be
in
effect
and
full
force
upon
its
passage
and
approval
by
the
mayor
for
discussion
on
this
I
would
like
to
thank
a
few
people,
some
who
are
here
tonight
and
some
who
are
not
I'll
start
with
the
folks
who
are
here,
Mr
crowl
on
my
left,
Mr,
Riggs
and,
of
course,
even
though
he's
not
with
us
this
evening
because
of
military
service
Mr
Stone
we
this.
C
This
is
a
classic
example
of
how
the
legislative
body
and
the
administration,
by
getting
an
early
start
on
an
issue,
can
work
hand
in
hand
to
craft
something
that's
going
to
serve
the
citizens
of
the
city.
Well,
essentially,
what
this
11-page
document
does
is
bring
everything
under
one
umbrella
simplifies
it
lays
it
out
and
we're
hoping
when
we
get
around
to
doing
the
contract,
which
is
step
two
in
this
and
be
in
separate
ordinance,
There,
Will,
Be
Few
to
any
changes.
The
only
one
I
can
think
of.
C
We
may
need
to
change
the
32
gallon
to
something
else
depending
on
what
industry
standards
are
at
the
time,
but
I
move
that
the
council
passes,
0-108
8-22.
D
B
C
Ordinance
also
has
to
deal
with
trash,
but
it
deals
with
terms
of
licenses
be
ordained
by
the
council,
the
city
of
Athens,
Ohio,
Section,
1,
Athens
city
code,
Title,
1,
General,
Provisions,
chapter
1.03,
code
fees
established
to
add
the
following
and
they're.
Only

and
recyclers
haulers
late

of
one
hundred
dollars
and
solid

haulers
license
five
hundred
dollars.
B
B
If
not
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.

F
Thank

Crowell.
This
much
like
previous
ordinance
is
very
much

City
excuse
me.
G
G
H
You,
member
Eisner,
there
are
a
number
of
Appropriations
in
this
ordinance.
The
first
is
14
500
to
the
general
fund.
The
mayor,
this
is
to
cover
a
pers
contribution,
as
discussed
at
committee,
and
that
first
reading
through
this
year
end
and
then
the
second
appropriation
is
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
to
the
Arts
Parks
and
Recreation
income
tax

273,
and
this
is
for
storm
sewer
improvements
in
the
new
leased
space
at
our
West
State
Street
Recreation
Fields.
Thank
you,
president
Eisley.
B
D
B
We
now
have
ordinances
for
second
reading,
the
first
one
being
ordinance,
113,
22
and
ordinance,
granted
a
special
use
permit
to
the
dairy
barn
Arts
Center
to
replace
an
existing
directional
sign
located
at
the
corner
of
Richland
Avenue
and
dairy
Lane
in
the
city's
right-of-way.
This
is
introduced
by
council
member
Grace.
E
Thank
you
and
the
amendment
that
I
am
offering
this
evening
is
simply
strikes
section.
Two.
The
language
of
that
section
is
the
special
right-of-way
permit
is
contingent
upon
the
sign
the
size
of
the
sign
being
no
larger
than
50
square
feet
and,
as
we
discussed
in
committee
meeting,
the
up
a
proposed
sign.
The
designed
sign
is
somewhat
larger
than
that.
It
is
62
square
feet
or
approximately,
and
this
it
is
not
a
requirement
that
the
size
being
a
larger
than
50
square
feet.
E
E
This
design
sign
will
include
a
section
that
could
be
changed
out
to
highlight
the
exhibits
that
are
happening
in
real
time,
which
I
think
is
a
significant
benefit
to
the
dairy
barn
and
for
individuals
coming
into
the
city.
Looking
for
events
at
the
dairy
barn,
and
so
this
amendment
would
just
reduce
that
or
eliminate
that
size
restriction
and
would
allow
them
to
put
up
the
sign
that
they
have
proposed
in
their
application
and
just
for
clarity.
E
The
existing
sign,
the
old
sign
that
is,
there
is
very
nearly
the
same
size
as
the
proposed
new
sign.
The
executive
director
of
the
dairy
barn
is
here
and
available
to
provide
us
with
more
information
and
details.
If
anyone
has
questions
or
comments,
she
is
willing
and
and
prepared
to
answer
those
I
believe.
Okay,.
B
B
So
if
it's
amended,
it
doesn't
need
to
go
to
the
to
the
board
of
zoning
appeals.
We
can't
amend
the
size
here
so,
if
I'm
understanding
your
Amendment
right
now,
what
you're
suggesting
then
is
113
.,
putting
in
that
section
rather
than
50
square
feet,
no
larger
than
62
square
feet
is
your
suggestion.
E
I
I
was
just
suggesting
that
we
strike
that,
because
the
design
sign
was
included
in
their
application
but
I'm
open
to
having
I
think
technically,
it's
slightly
larger
than
2
62.
It's
like
62
points
something
so
I
think
we
could
go
with
no
larger
than
63
square
feet.
If
that
makes
members
of
council
more
comfortable.
My
initial
that
I
thought
was
just
a
strike
section
too.
B
E
Okay
I
will
adjust.
My
motion
to
amend
to
the
amendment
would
be
that
to
strike
50
and
insert
63.
okay.
B
And
discussion
amongst
we'll
start
with
council
members
and
then
move
on
to
Mayor
Patterson
council
member
Swank.
C
B
I
think
there
was,
if
I'm,
understanding
correctly
from
the
conversation
there
was
an
indication
from
the
architect
that
the
changeable
nature
to
be
able
to
put
the
special
exhibits
or
guests
in
to
that
sign
was
contingent
on
the
sign
being
that
size
and
that
to
if
I'm
understanding
right
that
the
architect
would
not
be
able
to
scale
that
down
in
a
way
that
the
special
exhibits
signs
would
still
be
readable
by
the
public
from
the
roadway.
Now,
why
don't
we.
D
B
I
Yeah
sure
so
my
name
is
Leon
Audrey
I'm,
the
director
of
fit
Dairy,
Barn
Arts
Center,
and
to
what
I
think
answer.
Maybe
some
questions
is
that
the
top
reason
that
we
really
would
like
to
redo.
That
sign
is
because
the
way
that
it
does
now
is
larger
than
the
proposed
sign
as
far
as
like
actual
space
that
it
is
taking
up.
But
a
lot
of
that
is
taken
up
with
big
red
poles
that
aren't
necessary,
so
we're
replacing
it
with
a
sign
that
will
take
up
less
space.
I
But
the
part
that
says
dairy
barn
and
the
interchangeable
parts
that
will
say
quill
National
when
cool
National
is
going
on,
will
also
be
visible.
If
we
reduce
the
size
of
the
sign
too
much,
then
that
interchangeable
part
and
the
dairy
barn
doesn't
read
quite
as
visibly
as
with
a
full
62
square
feet
that
were
we're
proposing.
B
C
I'm,
looking
at
the
sign,
it's
a
very
lovely
sign,
I
I,
if
I
interpret
what
you
said,
the
part
in
the
middle
which
is
white
will
be
interchangeable.
Yes,.
I
C
That's
great
again,
as
I
said,
I
was
very
much
in
favor
of
what
they
presented
last
week,
but
my
fellow
council
members
thought
we
needed
to
follow
code
and
and
now
we're
not
following
code.
So
I'm
just
wondering
is
it
simply
because
the
sign
won't
be
as
effective
without
the
interchangeable
part.
The
reason
for
the
change
in
if.
E
J
With
that
amendment,
I
would
strongly
suggest
that
either
in
section
two
or
elsewhere
in
here
that
we
also
indicate
that
this
is
an
open
space,
zoned
OS,
so
that
that
doesn't
confuse
individuals
in
the
future
to
where
they're
thinking.
Well,
you
did
it
over
here.
Therefore,
in
a
b
Zone
I
would
like
to
have
something
the
same
size.
So
it's
specific
we're
talking
specific
to
something:
that's
zoned
as
open
space,
OS.
B
D
E
B
C
If
you
remember
at
the
last
meeting
when
we
got
to
this
topic,
the
subject
of
Ohio
University
paying
those
fees
came
up
and
I
received
an
email
from
the
law
director
on
Wednesday
of
this
week
passed-
and
this
is
what
she
said,
remember
Swank.
You
asked
whether
the
alarm
activation
fees
set
forth
in
Athens
city
code,
ACC,
3.10.04
D
applied
to
Ohio
University.
C
Definition,
State
subscriber
is
any
person
firm,
Corporation
partnership,
state
agency
or
entity
which
purchases
leases
contracts
for
or
obtains
an
alarm
system.
She
then
goes
into
the
second
paragraph
and
suggests
that
we
contact
Chief
Reimer
directly,
so
we
can
explain
what
he
considers
to
be
a
false
alarm
for
which
Ohio
University
may
be
billed
and
his
process
for
billing.
So,
according
to
law,
director
fire
alarm
is
as
defined
by
Chief
Reimer.
We
can
collect
that
money
that
fee
that
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
here.
B
Thank
you
for
the
additional
information,
any
other
comments
or
questions
all
right.
Thank
you.
We'll
move
on
now
to
ordinance
11522.
This
is
an
ordinance,
amended
Athens
city
code,
Title,
One,
General,
Provisions,
chapter
1.03
code
fees
established,
and
this
is
introduced
by
all
members
of
council,
and
you
remember,
we
went
through
these
fees
last
week
and
some
of
them
are
clarifying
and
putting
into
the
correct
section
of
code
into
Title
One
these
alarm
and
activation
fees.
B
Also,
the
sewer
rates
and
open
burning
permit
inspection
fees,
mobile
vendor
fees
vending
per
month,
and
some
other
fees
that
have
been
outlined.
Shared
Transportation,
optional,
dwelling
unit
certificate,
Micro,
Wireless
cell
tower
permits,
as
well
and
I.
Think
that
highlights
most
of
the
fees
that
are
highlighted
in
this
with
the
changes.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
about
this
ordinance.
B
Basically,
when
the
university
is
not
in
full
session
and
it
had
been
Thursday
through
Sunday
and
what
we're
adding
now
is
Monday
Tuesday
and
Wednesday
from
5
P.M
to
10
P.M,
so
to
expand
that,
especially
for
us,
we
have
special
events
during
the
summer.
From
what
I'm
remembering
of
the
discussion.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments.
B
If
none
we'll
move
on
to
11722,
this
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
safety
director
to
enter
into
an
LPA
state
project
agreement
for
municipal
Bridge
inspection
program,
Services
services-
and
this
is
the
2023
renewal
and
declaring
an
emergency
it's
introduced
by
council
member
Reisner
and
if
no
comments
or
questions
from
anyone
we
will
move
on
to
11822.
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
safety
director
to
suspend
temporarily
the
fee
for
parking
at
metered
spaces
in
the
municipal
parking
garage
and
that's
introduced
by
council
member
Reisner.
B
If
no
questions
or
comments,
we
will
move
on
to
1
1922.
This
is
an
ordinance
suspending
Athens
city
code,
section
7.05.03,
continuous
parking
in
the
same
location
from
Monday
December,
12
2022
through
midnight
on
January,
8
2023
and
declaring
Indy
it's
January,
15th
15th.
Excuse
me
not
8
15,
it's
15th,
2023
and
declaring
an
emergency.
This
is
introduced
by
council
member
Reisner.
B
D
B
Opposed,
nay,
thank
you.
We
will
now
move
on
to
our
committee
meeting.
The
first
portion
of
this
is
a
presentation
from
Mr
John
schmiedin
who's
been
the
chair
of
the
community
relations
commission
for
previous
times,
and
now
with
it
reactivated
we're
we're
happy
to
see
that
that's
the
group
seems
to
be
thriving
and
what
better
time
so.
K
Welcome
Mr
schmeeting.
Thank
you
glad
to
be
here.
Presentation
seems
like
a
strong
word,
but
I'll
do
my
best.
I
would
like
to
start
by
registering
a
complaint
at
City.
Council
in
the
city
of
Athens
have
been
poaching.
Our
members
on
both
Mike
and
McCary
and
Alicia
Rogers
are
no
longer
part
of
the
commission
and
seems
patently
unfair,
so
we've,
you
know
it's
been
an
interesting
time
for
for
everybody
right
these
last
couple
of
years
and
it
has
affected
how
we've
done
things
as
a
commission.
K
There
were
periods
when
we
were
not
meeting
because
we
were
required
to
meet
in
person,
and
some
of
us
are
getting
older
on
this
commission
and
we
chose
not
to
do
that
and
so
partly
because
of
those
kinds
of
difficulties,
and
partly
just
because
we
maybe
weren't
quite
smart
enough.
There
were
things
we
didn't
do
and
things
we
missed.
Community
conflicts
that
I
wish
we'd
jumped
into,
but
hopefully
much
of
that
time
has
passed.
K
One
thing
I
wanted
you
to
know
is
that
the
people
on
the
commission
wear
a
lot
of
hats.
So
sometimes
it's
a
little
hard
to
say
what
is
a
project
of
the
commission
and
what
is
a
project
that
the
commission
is
supporting.
K
There
are
a
bunch
of
different
organizations
we
work
with,
including
the
racial
Equity
Coalition
of
Athens
County,
the
Essen
County
Foundation,
including,
and
maybe
particularly
the
racial
Equity
Fund,
which
is
a
new
project,
Athens
area
mediation,
service,
the
Athens,
City,
School,
District,
the
city
of
Athens,
of
course,
various
folks
and
departments
at
the
University
that
we
work
closely
with,
and
sometimes
it's
their
project
and
we're
just
trying
to
lend
a
supportive
voice
and
sometimes
we're
doing
it
together,
and
sometimes
it's
kind
of
our
project.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
K
In
the
last
couple
of
years.
One
of
the
things
we've
done-
that's
been
particularly
successful.
Was
a
community
read
where
we
would
work
closely
with
the
Athens
County
library
system,
and
there
will
be
a
community
read
happening
again
in
the
next
few
months.
That's
kind
of
been
initiated
at
the
University
level
and
we'll
we'll
work
closely
with
them
to
help
make
that
a
community-wide
event
and
the
anti-racist
book
clubs
which
took
many
forms
and
many
variations,
the
latest
being
not
exactly
a
book
club.
K
K
K
The
primary
thing
we've
done
is
about
three
years
ago
we
decided
as
a
commission
that
we
wanted
to
focus
on
having
an
impact
on
the
local
school
systems
and
that's
what
we've
tried
to
do
so
for
the
last
two
years.
This
now
being
the
third
year,
we've
had
a
class
and
sometimes
a
drop-in
group
weekly
at
the
high
school,
with
that's
basically
exploring
race
and
anti-racism,
and
sometimes
that's
been
for
credit.
K
Sometimes
not,
and
those
have
been
very,
very
successful,
at
least
by
the
reports
of
the
students
and
we've
also
done
some
training
for
school
district
Personnel
on
implicit
bias
and
other
important
issues
and
we're
now
working
with
John
Rogers,
who
left
the
high
school
to
become
the
principal
at
the
middle
school
and
he's
very
interested
in
doing
programming
at
the
middle
school.
So
we're
working
closely
with
him
and
we'll
see
what
develops
and
also
with
some
other
Community
Partners,
including
the
OU
theater
department
and
the
Bobcats
lead
change
organization.
K
K
So
those
things
are
happening
and
I
think
that's
good.
We've
also,
recently
largely
thanks
to
Micah
kind
of
resumed,
a
role
where
we're
screening
handling
listening
to
some
citizen
concerns
and
there's
just
been
a
handful
of
those
so
far,
Alan
member
Swank.
That's
what
I
should
be
saying
right
has
referred
that
to
us
and
others
through
Micah's
office
and
partly
what
we're
doing
is
figuring
out.
K
What
is
our
role
and
we're
not
interested
or
equipped
to
be
an
enforcement
body,
but
we
may
be
a
good
place
to
to
listen
to
people
and
to
help
mediate
and
to
make
referrals.
So
that's
what
we're
trying
to
sort
out
there,
two
more
things.
One
is
that
we've
been
talking.
We
haven't
gotten
too
far.
Yet,
but
sometime
in
the
next
few
months,
we
will
probably
come
to
council
with
some
suggestions
to
change
the
code
that
created
this
Commission.
K
K
So
we
just
like
to
clarify
some
of
that
kind
of
language
and
make
it
clear
see
if
you
agree
with
what
we
think
we
ought
to
be
doing,
and
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is
I
I
would
like
to
invite
members
of
council
members
of
the
audience.
If
you
like
to
cease
referring
to
Athens
as
a
bubble,
it's
not
always
clear
what
people
mean,
but
it's
you
know.
Athens
is
a
wonderful
place
and
we
like
Athens,
we
love
Athens,
so
many
good
things
when
we
describe
it
as
a
bubble.
K
It
sounds
like,
what's
being
said,
is
it's
a
place
where
everyone's
safe
from
all
the
difficulties
of
the
outside
world,
and
that's
that
is
true
for
some
of
us?
That
is
how
we
experience
it
and
for
some
of
us
that
is
not
how
we
experience
it,
particularly
for
people
of
color
and
people
from
disadvantaged
groups.
So
the
bubble
thing
is
a
little
weird
we're
doing
the
best
we
can.
We
want
to
be
better
and
better
at
these
things.
That's
that's
a
great
conversation
to
have,
and
how
can
we
do
that,
but
thinking
we're
already.
K
B
L
You
and
thank
you,
John
schmuting,
for
your
many
years
of
service
spanning
decades
with
this
commission
I'd,
be
curious
about
to
hear
your
thoughts
about
training
and
preparation
of
members
of
this
commission.
Given
the
responsibility
to
respond
to
complaints
and
concerns
about
such
topics
as
discrimination,
do
you
feel
that
the
committee
is
positioned
and
its
members
trained
adequately
to
do
that?
Work.
K
Well,
I
doubt
that
anyone's
ever
trained
adequately,
some
of
us
have
a
fair
amount
of
experience
in
that
realm,
and
some
have
none
so
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
thing
for
us
to
do
to
take
on
to
more
specifically
talk
about
that
with
a
training
Focus.
What
are
we
trying
to
do
who's
equipped
to
do
it?
How
do
we
support
each
other?
How
can
we
do
a
better
job
of
it?
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
I.
D
D
B
Talking
about
I,
just
you
know,
are
we
talking
about
Harmony?
Maybe
not,
but
are
we
talking
about
community
and
how
do
we
make
this
a
stronger
Place
yeah
and
we
do
have
some
new
resources.
We
have
a
new
Dei
coordinator,
deia
diversity,
Equity
inclusion
and
accessibility
coordinator.
That
can
help
us
with
these
kind
of
things.
So
yeah
I
was
going
to
ask
one
other
question:
do
you
have
any
vacancies
currently
that
you
want
to
advertise
since
we've
coached
or
been
accused
of
poaching
them?
Some.
B
K
We've
got
a
very
solid
group.
Excellent
Lacey
officially
will
need
to
leave
and
we're
looking
forward
to
working
closely
with
her,
but
we
do
have
somebody
with
a
lot
of
experience
and
who
and
wisdom
who's
very
interested
in
joining
us.
So
she'll
come
to
the
meeting
on
Wednesday
and
then
we'll
we'll.
M
Yes,
thank
you
very
much
John
for
all
you
do
I'm
sure
she
does.
You
specifically
mentioned
that
you're
not
really
positioned
to
do
enforcement
and
I
get
that
probably
comes
about
as
in
when
we
have
an
ordinance,
for
example,
that
says
that
you
cannot
discriminate
against
members
of
the
community
that
want
to
rent
from
you
and
I'm
a
little
puzzled,
based
on
my
conversations
with
the
law
director
about
how
that
process
works,
work
because
it's
my
understanding
that
it's
never
been
enforced,
so
I'm,
hoping
that.
Maybe,
though,.
D
M
K
Think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
then
they're
you
know
off.
In
some
situations
there
will
need
to
be
enforcement
and
I
mentioned
the
place.
The
the
idea
that
code
was
changed
10
years
ago
or
so,
and
the
original
code
gave
us
the
power
of
subpoena
to
call
witnesses
and
investigate,
and
we
felt
that
really
was
at
odds
with
our
primary
goal
of
educating.
J
I've
done
I
also
want
to
share
with
you
and
I
can
send
you
some
documents.
The
summer
at
the
National
League
of
cities,
words
and
Leadership
meeting
and
one
of
the
big
conversations
became.
You
know
elected
officials
experiencing
hostility
experiencing
threats.
There
was
actually
a
survey
that
was
put
together.
I'd
also
like
to
share
that
with
you
in
the
commission
and
maybe
consider
doing
some
type
of
de-escalation
training
or
you
know
simple
Discord.
It's
really
interesting
from
a
political
standpoint,
how
things
have
really
kind
of
decayed.
If
you
will.
D
L
J
K
Yeah
yeah,
thanks
for
that
was
not
on
my
radar
at
all.
So
thank
you
for
mentioning
that
I'll
bring
it
up
at
our
meeting
on
Wednesday,
so
yeah
great
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
not
done
for
a
while.
Now
is
what
we
used
to
call
Food
For
Thought,
where
we'd
have
community
members
come
together
to
discuss
important
issues,
particularly
around
diversity
in
the
community,
and
that
might
be
an
interesting
conversation
to
have.
How
do
how
do
we
both
protect,
but
also
inform
our
city
officials?
K
B
G
G
Talking
about
the
passion,
Works
Street,
closing
you
all
recall.
At
the
beginning
of
the
year,
we
had
a
Council
had
a
list
of
Street
closings
at
the
city
authorized
and
we
decided
this
year
to
approve
all
of
them
in
one
one.
Big
ordinance
get
a
get
a
dentist
of
having
separate
ones
coming
to
us
all
the
time,
but
the
caveat
from
the
deputy
service
safety
director
was
try
to
leave
some
room
in
the
calendar
for
those
unexpected
requests
for
Street
closings,
and
this
happens
to
be
one
of
them
yeah.
G
J
Can
speak
to
it
briefly?
Thank
you.
This
was
something
that
came
to
us
as
a
request
for
a
New
Year's
Eve
event
to
where
they
would
be
dropping
a
rather
large
passion,
Works
flower.
Instead
of
dropping
the
ball
for
for
the
new
year
with
the
countdown
they
all
wanted
to
do.
Several
things
in
front
of
of
passion,
work
Studio,
as
well
as
an
event
that
would
be
in
a
restaurant,
a
few
doors
down
at
Zoe's.
J
G
I
had
the
description
and
their
initial
request
form.
Basically,
it's
just
what
you
just
mentioned,
but
it
mentions
early
events
will
be
kid-friendly,
followed
by
a
band
food
truck
dancing
and
passion,
Works
parking
lot
and
hopefully
Street
in
front
of
the
studio
at
midnight.
We
will
drop
a
passion.
Flower
I'll,
have
the
Time
Square
ball
to
ring
in
the
New
Year
and
then
there's
18
other
pages
that
follow
in
this
form.
That's
all
been
filled
out
and
checked
and
looks
like
it's
in
proper
order.
C
I
have
one
question:
I
guess
this
is
what
page
two
location
parking
lot
of
passion
Works
in
East,
State
Street
between
North
College
and
Mill,
Street
I,
would
I
would
assume.
As
you
come
up,
State
Street.
We
would
put
barriers
there
and
then,
where
he
stayed
is
one
way
and
Mill
streets
one
way
or
the
other.
C
We
could
put
barriers
there
at
least
separating
the
two
today
I
stopped
in
at
Domino's,
because
they
have
a
drive-through
and
and
I'm
very
much
in
favor
of
this
but
I
think
and
I
talked
with
the
manager
at
length.
This
is
the
first
he
heard
of
it,
but
he
was
requesting
that
someone
either
from
code
or
whatever
Administrative
Office
is
appropriate.
C
Come
speak
with
them
sooner
rather
than
later,
to
figure
out
how
they
could
do
traffic
and
the
events
still
take
place
because
the
way
the
drive-through
works.
Now
you
access
the
drive
through
from
Mill
Street
and
exit
onto
State
and
make
a
left,
and
this
would
be
X
the
cars
exiting
right
in
the
middle
of
of
the
the
party.
His
second
concern
was-
and
he
pointed
out
at
New,
Year's
Eve.
They
do
not,
thank
goodness,
do
not
have
as
many
pickups
as
they
do
deliveries,
but
they
are
swamped.
C
G
J
You
know
I'd
be
happy
to
work
with
Mr
Baker,
as
well
as
the
law
firm
right
next
door,
because
there
is
a
way
in
which
you
can
probably
loop
around.
So
you
come
in,
as
you
mentioned,
to
the
drive-through
window
again
granted
permission
from
Malika
at
all
and
have
them
be
able
to
loop
around
and
go
back
out
onto
Mill
Street.
We
can
explore
that
like
I'll.
Certainly
look
into
that
I
think
that
would
be
the
most
logical
solution
to
that
that
problem
for
that
evening,
right
right.
J
C
B
President,
a
question
just
that
I
noticed
that
the
security
Life
Safety
plan
and
the
first
aid
plan,
so
this
would
be
part
of
a
security
plan,
is
saying
we
would
need
your
help
in
advising
this
plan.
So
I
think
we
probably
need
some
of
those
details
before
it
comes
for
sure
presentation
as
an
ordinance.
E
G
If
this
could
be
ironed
out
before
next
session,
we
could
get
an
ordinance
together,
I
suppose,
okay,
all
right
next
Uptown
improvements
project
number
329..
J
You
know
for
that
piece
of
legislation.
We
are
just
looking
for
changing
things
lightly
on
this,
because
this
is
for
the
Uptown
improvements
project
for
which
we
have
a
received.
A
grant
will
be
receiving
funding
from
ODOT
on
that,
but
we
just
got
word
last
week
that
the
rtpo
regional
transportation
planning
organization
run
through
Buckeye
Hills,
Regional
Council
is
awarding
the
city
ninety
one
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty
seven
dollars
in
funds
which
can
be
going
towards
this
project.
J
So
basically
you
know
we
want
to
with
the
ordinance
0822
provide
the
funds
for
the
first
time.
Our
first
day
is
engineering
through
this
money.
So
it's
accepting
it
and
using
it
for
that.
J
Sure
so
the
Uptown
Improvement
project
is
basically
it'll,
be
a
grant
that
allows
us
to
kind
of
redo
the
streetscape
on
State
Street
to
include
Mill
Street,
which
was
a
suggestion
from
council
member
Swank.
J
You
know,
because
initially
it
was
just
going
to
be
State
Street
and
it's
between
college
and
Congress,
but
also
Court
to
Mill,
Street
or
Court
to
college
on
Mill
Street
as
well,
and
then
it'll
also
include
Washington,
Street
and
that'll,
be
between
college
and
Congress
and
it'll
be
redoing
the
streetscape
to
look
a
lot
like
West
Union
between
Congress
and
Court
Street.
So
it's
giving
a
facelift
addressing
some
Ada
issues
that
you
may
have
noticed
on
some
of
those
streets.
J
I
just
had
a
conversation
with
the
owner
of
Tony's
on
West
State
Street,
and
they
were
trying
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
their
establishment
more
Ada
accessible.
They
currently
have
a
ramp,
but
it
doesn't
mean
ADA
requirements.
So
we'll
certainly
look
at
how
we
can
do
that.
Much
like
we
did
on
West
Union.
J
So
this
is
going
to
be
a
good
project,
we'll
change
out
the
lighting
on
those
streets,
because
currently
it's
the
concrete
poles
with
the
Cobra
headlights
that'll
be
much
like
the
ones
you
see
on
West,
Union
and
some
benches
along
there
as
well,
maybe
not
benches.
That
curve
outwards,
maybe
they're
benches
that
curve
inwards.
So
people
can
actually
have
conversations.
C
Mr
Mayor
will
any
of
this
include
roadways
or
is
it
more
of
the
the
reason
I
ask?
Is
you
well
know
in
many
of
those
areas
over
time
the
road
has
sunk
so
far
that
the
curbs
are
this
high
and
I
didn't
know.
If
this
was
going
to
include
some
of
the
road
Rays,
we
might
be
able
to
bring
that
up
a
little
bit
if
that's
just
another
project
for
another
day,
no.
J
We
can
we
can
weave
that
in
the
other
thing
that
I
would
really
like
to
weave
into.
This,
too,
is
something
that
we've
been
struggling
with
for
a
number
of
years,
with
settling
bricks
on
Court,
Street
and
elsewhere.
Is
we
are
hard-pressed
to
keep
our
Ada
curb
cuts
to
where
it's
less
than
a
half
inch?
You
know
it
should
be
flush,
and
so
part
of
this
project
is
also
going
to
be
looking
at,
possibly
putting
in
stamped
concrete
at
the
crosswalks
at
the
intersection
of
Washington
State
Street.
J
You
know
I
would
encourage
anyone
on
Council
to
take
a
field
trip
with
with
Carolyn
Bailey
Lewis,
as
I
did
to
where
she
showed
me
the
challenges
that
she
has
and
in
particular
at
the
intersection
I'm
kind
of
going
off
topic
a
little
bit
so
I'm
I
apologize
president
nicely,
but
it
took
me
to
the
intersection
of
court
and
Union
and
there's
some
real
significant
challenges,
not
only
on
the
the
East
West
nor
South,
but
the
diagonals
to
get
across
it's
something
that
the
sidewalk
commission
has
been
our
ad
hoc
committee
brother
has
been
discussing.
H
Thank
you,
member
Eisner,
Mr
Mayor
I
believe
that
this
project
will
include
putting
electric
lines
into
the
ground.
We.
J
Sure
hope
so
councilman
we
just
had
a
meeting
this
last
week
with
AEP.
The
main
conversation
was
about
switching
out
all
of
our
Cobra
headlights.
The
high
pressure
sodium
lights
with
LEDs
were
the
first
city
as
I've
been
told,
we've
risen
to
the
top
of
AEP
stack
to
go
ahead
and
do
that,
but
they
also
mentioned
that
there's
a
a
new
program
that
they're
going
to
have
to
where
it'll
be
helpful
to
communities
who
want
to
put
utility
lines
underground.
J
So
we
did
mention
right
away
that
you
know
State
Street
we'd
certainly
like
to
do
that
on
state.
The
easier
one
is
going
to
be
Washington
Street
to
bury
the
line,
so
we
are
going
to
look
into
it.
We
tried
it
with
West
or
with
the
Simpson
Avenue
project,
and
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
was
not
cost
effective
for
us
to
go
to
city
blocks
for
1.5
million
to
put
those
utility
lines
underneath
it
was
just.
J
H
I
I
completely
understand
the
cost
considerations.
It
needs
to
make
sense.
I
know
you're
aware
that
on
West
State
Street
there
coming
off
of
Court
Street,
we've
had
I've
been
contacted
by
businesses
there
for
some
time
about
the
pigeons
which
love
to
sit
on
those
lines,
kind
of
in
front
of
Tony's,
and
it's
very
difficult
to
park
there
or
your
car
is
just
covered,
and
the
city
graciously
took
the
suggestion
to
put
one
of
those
owls
up
on
the
AAP
pole.
H
G
E
J
J
One
of
the
levers
that
can
be
utilized
with
a
cic
is
historic:
tax
credits
so
working
with
them
and
then,
as
everyone
is
aware,
you
know
with
our
city
planner
not
being
in
the
office
yet
still
working.
We
certainly
need
some
help
in
that
area
of
of
the
city
planning
work,
so
so
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
will
be
helping
with
with
some
of
that
load
that
we're
seeing,
but
we're
just
asking
for
authorization.
J
You
know
I
should
add
to
that
as
well,
that
they
were
instrumental
in
getting
the
Armory
project
into
the
state
capital
budget.
They
were
very
helpful
in
bringing
individuals
through
the
armory
that
would
have
some
level
of
Engagement
with
the
vibrant
communities
Grant
through
Ohio
Southeast,
most
notably
the
lieutenant
governor
touring
through
the
Armory,
along
with
a
number
of
other
elected
officials,
State
elected
officials
going
through
the
Armory
and
certainly
helped
with
coordinating
that
as
well.
So
it's
been
great.
B
E
Yeah
I
would
agree
with
that,
because
we
will
need
to
have
a
new
remote
work
agreement
addendum,
and
so
it
would
be
helpful
if,
in
addition
to
the
change
of
dates
and
the
fee,
that
there's
a
broadened
scope
of
work
or
a
more
detailed
scope
of
work,
moving
forward.
Other
questions
from
the
committee,
any
questions
from
other
members
of
council
member
Swank,
Mr.
J
Yeah,
thank
you
I.
Don't
you
don't
think
he
threw
me
a
curve
apart.
Well,
at
this
point,
I
don't
know
I
mean
some
of
it
is
predicated
upon
when
our
city
planner
can
come.
You
know
back
in
and
and
so
we're
filling
a
pretty
significant
Gap
with
the
workload,
that's
typically
in
the
planner's
office,
so
they
could
be
helpful
even
further
because
they
are
so
much
so
involved
with
the
city.
But
to
that
question,
I'm,
not
100
sure
as
to
whether,
where
we'll
be
when
this
extension,
when
it
comes.
C
E
Are
there
any
other
questions
from
Council
yeah
anything
else,
Mr
Mayor
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
audience
Okay
then,
if
we
could
have
sort
of
a
more
detailed
addendum,
then
and
specific
says,
is
the
administration
requesting
a
suspension
at
first
reading?
E
E
Thank
you,
and
next
we
are
returning
to
the
rental
permit
language
from
at
290301
and
I
believe
we're
going
back
to
just
striking
the
4A
period
of
more
than
six
months
during
any
single
calendar
year
from
that
description
of
when
a
rental
permit
is
required
are
there.
This
is
something
that
has
been
discussed
in
a
fair
amount
of
detail
in
previous
meetings.
Does
anyone
have
questions.
E
All
residential
property
within
the
city,
owned
for
rental
purposes
or
occupied
by
a
party
other
than
the
owner
shall
require
a
rental
dwelling,
short-term
rental
or
rooming
house
permit
from
the
office
of
Code
Enforcement.
Traditional
motels
and
hotels
are
excluded
from
the
necessity
of
obtaining
a
rental
dwelling,
short-term
rental
or
rooming
house.
Permit
non-traditional
long-term
rentals
in
hotels
and
motels
are
not
excluded
and
that
I
read
it.
Leaving
out
the
struck
language
right.
H
E
N
So
Rob
delacco
live
on
Morris
Avenue
here
in
the
city,
just
for
representing
myself,
so
yeah
I
didn't
mention
this
during
the
last
discussion,
but
I
mentioned
afterwards
that
this
is
changing
it,
so
that
what's
happened
in
the
past
is
traditionally
professors
when
they
are
out
of
town
for
the
summer,
have
let
their
place
be
rented
out
sort
of
under
the
table,
Word
of
Mouth
kind
of
thing
no
advertising
you
originally
had
talked
about
having
a
stipulation
in
there.
N
That
would
only
require
a
rental
permit
if
there
was
some
kind
of
advertising
going
on,
which
would
have
made
an
exception.
This
sort
of
exception
continue,
but
even
the
situation
remember
Carl
just
mentioned
where
charging
kids
to
stay
I
think
I
paid
my
parents
rent
for
a
while
when
I
was
an
older
but
a
young
adult
still.
But
you
know
in
that
in
that
time
frame
after
college
I
think
I
paid
my
parents
rent,
so
that
would
qualify
then
for
a
permit.
N
Doesn't
sound
like
a
great
idea
to
me?
I,
don't
know
if
the
not
advertising
was
the
right
solution.
It
sounded
like
it
was
okay,
but
it
doesn't
provide
any
flexibility
for
someone
who
in
a
one-time
situation
may
want
to,
and
it
would
never
happen
again,
but
we're
now
saying
that
they
have
a
rental
permit,
which
means
they
have
to
have
an
inspection
done.
N
They
have
to
have,
as
somebody
discussed
with
me
after
the
meeting
last
time,
have
to
have
outlets
on
three
walls
in
the
bedroom
have
to
have
a
closet.
Any
of
those
things
don't
happen,
and
then
you
can't
even
get
the
permit.
So
it's
it's,
maybe
making
this
something.
That's
something
that's
completely
unenforceable
and
for
a
very,
very
short
term,
or
maybe
an
exception
case,
somebody's
violating
the
law
when
they
do
that.
It
doesn't
seem
to
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
make
somebody
a.
D
H
Just
Mr
deloc.
E
C
A
M
E
The
first
one
is
Title
VII
traffic
and
then
the
next
is
title:
13,
General,
offenses,
and
there
are
these-
are
long
documents
and
include
a
lot
of
changes,
but
some
of
them
are
changes
to
definitions
such
as
a
motor
vehicle
now
includes
except
motorized,
bicycles,
electric
bicycles,
that's
been
added
into
the
language
for
clarification
and
threshing.
Machinery
hay,
baling
machinery
and
agricultural
tractors
have
been
struck
from
the
language.
Perhaps
a
record
of
this
is
historical
significance.
E
It
shows
some
changes
in
in
vehicles
on
our
roadways,
so
there's
changes
to
definitions
and
changes
to
the
requirements
and
meanings
of
walk
signals
and
and
what
what
laws
are.
In
effect
when
pedestrians
are
in
crosswalks.
E
And
then
there
is
also
a
section
on
fleeing
and
eluding
obedience
to
traffic
officers
and
specification
of
the
level
of
offense
as
being
a
a
first
degree,
misdemeanor
and
more
information
and
updates
regarding
emergency
vehicles
and
the
requirements
of
the
types
of
lights
that
those
vehicles
are
to
display.
E
And
a
the
specification
in
the
section
under
prohibition
of
studded
tires,
and
that
is
that
a
person
may
operate
a
motor
vehicle
that
is
equipped
with
retractable.
Studded
tires
with
the
studs
retracted
at
any
time
of
the
year,
but
shall
operate
the
motor
vehicle
with
the
studs
extended
only
as
provided
in
the
subsection,
which
is
November
through
the
15th
of
April.
E
So
again,
it
is
a
significant
document
with
a
quite
a
few
additions
and
some
deletions
to
align
our
local
traffic
code
with
Ohio
Revised
Code.
Are
there
questions.
M
You
have
to
confess
that
you
know
I'm,
usually
pretty
good
at
keeping
up
with
all
this
stuff,
but
I
I
just
felt
like
I
couldn't
get
through
all
of
it
in
the
kind
of
detail
that
really
is
required
and
and
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
or
I
guess
I'm
curious
why
the
towing
ordinance
stuff,
which
comes
pretty
much
directly
out
of
the
orc,
is
included
in
traffic.
That
to
me,
is
a
separate
issue,
so
that
surprises
me
I,
don't
really
understand
how
that
fits,
at
least
from
my
perspective.
That
seems
rather
odd
to
me.
M
E
I
think
it's
simply
because
they
fall
under
Title
VII
of
our
city
code
and
that's
so
we
are
making
adjustments
to
specifically
to
title
seven
to
align
it
with
orc
and
towing
falls
under
a
Title
VII
of
our
local
code,
I'm
getting
nods
of
agreement
from
our
clerk.
So
hopefully,
but
that's
the
correct
explanation.
E
So
when
this
type
of
a
project
is
taken
on
by
our
law
director
and
her
staff,
they
would
look
at
it,
and
we
have
have
done
these
before,
where
it's
looking
at
all
of
the
things
that
fall
under
our
traffic
ordinance,
which
is
Title
VII
and
aligning
those
with
orc
and
just
for
a
point
of
clarification.
E
Often
things
are
charged
under
orc
and
not
necessarily
charged
under
city
code
and
so
from
the
law
director's
office
like
from
their
perspective,
it's
beneficial
if
there's
alignment
so
that
we
don't
have
contradiction
between
what
our
local
codes
say
and
what
the
law
enforcement
would
be
charging
under
are
there?
Does
that
help?
At
all
members
be
honest.
M
Discussion
about
the
towing
ordinance
some
time
ago
and
so
I
guess
it
seemed
so
some
alignment
there
would
to
me
be
kind
of
logical,
so
I'm,
that's
where
I'm
a
little
puzzled.
Yeah.
B
H
The
way
I
Towing
is
identified
here
as
a
very
particular
vehicle
in
the
street
and
how
it
relates
to
you
know
what
they
are
Towing
and
how
they
are
Towing
and
the
actual
traffic
issue
and
not
not
their
ability
to
tow
on
private
or
public
or
what
they're
being
what
they're
charging.
For
that.
That's!
Why
I
understood
this
to
be
here,
but.
M
M
Well
it,
but
also
thank
you
for
that.
However,
under
7.07.03,
for
example,
disposition
of
abandoned
Motor
Vehicles
seems
not
to
fit
that
at
least
it
seems
to
me,
but
again
you
know
I,
guess
I'd,
like
some
clarification.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
E
Yeah
I
agree:
it
is
a
lot
of
Pages
a
lot
of
information
and
having
specific
questions
for
the
law,
director
I
think
will
be
helpful
next
week.
Thank.
M
L
Yes,
yes,
I
would
just
add
that
give
the
length
of
the
document
I
would
recommend
one
more
pass
it
looking
for
unnecessarily
gendered
language
in
7.03.02,
I
notice,
some
references
to
himself
and
I
wonder
if
that
section
might
also
benefit
from
an
updated
title
right
now.
That's
7.03.02
is
attaching
bicycle
or
sled
to
vehicles
in
an
updated
language.
L
On
page
9
of
22
indicates
that
we
have,
from
my
vantage
point
in
a
very
positive
way,
added
skateboard,
an
electric
bike
to
be
added
as
things
that
should
not
be
pulled
behind
vehicles
and
great
for
that.
Given
some
fatal
accidents,
I've
heard
of
in
the
area
with
skateboards
being
pulled
by
cars,
but
I
would
think
that
saying
something
more
current
than
attaching
bicycle
or
sled
to
Vehicles
might
be
worth
of
consideration.
E
M
But
a
minor
issue:
member
Grace
but
I've
seen
electric
scooters
all
over
the
place
and
that
doesn't
exactly
fit
with
bicycles
or
electric
bicycles
or
skateboards,
so
that
to
me
I
mean
I'm,
seeing
more
and
more
of
those.
So
some
reference
to
that
I
think
might
be
helpful.
E
C
I
would
like
to
see
us
take
this
up
again
in
committee
on
the
10th,
so
that
we
won't
have
time
to
read
it
and
two
so
that
we
can
have
the
law
director
here
to
ask
questions.
I
really,
don't
think
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
bring
this
up
next
week
for
first
reading,
with
the
multitude
of
questions
that
we
have
today,
and
otherwise
we
could
be
bogged
down
for
45
50
minutes
with
the
law
director
next
week
going
through
this
point
by
Point
by
point.
C
C
E
That
that
seems
reasonable
I
think
we
should
check
with
the
law
director.
She.
E
Okay,
and
also
just
her
ability
to
attend
committee
meeting
since
she
does
not
usually
attend
committee
meetings,
might
also
be
helpful.
E
E
As
she's
indicated
that
there's
not
a
rush,
so
we
can
absolutely
take
time
to
read
through
it
and
organize
our
questions.
Thank
you.
E
Next,
we
have
updates
to
title
13,
which
is
General
offenses,
and
this
is
our
our
City's
criminal
code
and
again.
The
reason
for
this
is
for
alignment
with
orc
and
once
again
it
does
include
a
wide
range
of
changes
to
a
very
wide
range
of
topics
from
criminal
mischief
to
impersonating,
an
officer
and
the
level
offense
of
offense.
That
is,
that
able
to
be
charged
depending
on
the
intention
of
the
the
impersonator
and
definitions
of
what
critical
infrastructure
facilities
are
and.
E
E
So
does
anyone
have
questions
specific
to
this
or
a
request
similar
to
the
request
for
Title
VII
I'm,
seeing
nods
from
member
spielness
that
we
continue
this
to
committee
meeting
when
our
law
director
could
be
present
and
have
so
that
members
of
council
could
have
had
more
time
to
review
and
think
about
this
lengthy
document?
Are
there
other
questions
of
or
comments
from
the
committee?
C
Well,
they
particularly
gets
down
to
gambling
here
with
the
change.
That's
coming
on.
January
1st
in
terms
of
sports
betting
here
in
Ohio,
I
think
I
would
hope
the
law
director
could
delve
into
that,
because
my
guess
is
since
that
isn't
in
place.
Yet
whatever
we
have
here
probably
doesn't
take
that
into
account.
We
want
to
make
sure
we
have
that
covered
too.
J
E
Yes,
I
I
agree,
so,
as
some
of
the
questions
may
be,
very
straight
may
have
very
straightforward
answers
that
could
come
through
email
and
they
would
decrease
discussion
time.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
members
of
the
audience?
B
B
L
O
Thank
you,
council
member
McCrary.
As
you
may
know,
the
city
entered
into
a
contract
with
ahrc
for
our
solid
waste
collection
in
July
of
2020.
They
began
operations
at
that
time.
O
They
they
have
to
make
assumptions
on
how
they're
going
to
to
provide
those
services
for
a
three-year
contract.
That
contract
was
from
July
of
2020
to
to
20
July
to
June
2023..
O
As
we
all
know,
things
have
changed
quite
a
bit
since
2020,
including
costs.
Thankfully,
the
landfill
costs
for
the
ahrc
dispose
of
solid
waste
at
the
local
landfill.
That's
costs
have
not
increased
significantly.
However.
Fuel
costs
have
gone
from
two
dollars
and
30
cents
when
the
contract
began
to
I.
Just
looked
at
the
fuel
costs
this
evening
and
it's
525
for
diesel
locally,
so
those
those
costs
have
more
than
doubled.
For
for
the
our
contractor.
In
addition
to
that,
the
contractor
is
has
asked
that
we
consider
their
labor
cost
increases.
O
They've
had
to
pay
more
for
their
for
their
Manpower,
as
we
know
we're
the
city
struggles
with
with
Manpower
trying
to
get
enough
people
and
to
to
work.
It's
just
difficult
to
get
able
bodies.
Now
their
costs
have
gone
up
and
they
have
some
cost
increases
for
vehicle
expenses.
They
estimate
that
from
July
2020
to
the
end
of
the
contract
that
the
fuel
costs
will
be
an
additional
58
thousand
dollars
for
them
just
for
fuel
itself,
they
also
are
looking
at
Labor
and
vehicle
expenses
increases
as
well.
Staff.
O
So
in
the
contract
we
don't
have
a
very
viable
way
to
adjust
for
those
costs.
It's
our
contract
says
that
each
February
and
August,
the
contractor
in
the
city,
will
review
changes.
The
customer
base
and
other
factors
that
may
need
to
increase
or
reduce
the
fees
included
as
part
of
this
agreement.
Any
such
changes
mutually
identified
as
as
necessary,
will
be
submitted
for
appropriate
approvals,
and
that's
about
all
we
have
in
the
contract.
O
I
would
really
like
to
not
have
to
come
to
you
and
do
this
again,
so
the
new
contract
will
have
some
some
automatic
adjustments
associated
with
it,
but
we
are
in
this
contract
and
ahrc
has
requested
some
additional
Monies
to
cover
these
expenses
that
they've
incurred
since
the
beginning
of
the
contract
staff
thinks
that
the
fuel
costs
are
significant
enough,
that
it's
something
we
should
consider.
We
don't
think
that
the
labor
and
vehicle
expenses
necessarily
would
be
something
that
we
would
would
include
on
there.
O
As
you
know,
the
solid
waste
fund
is
is
we're
we're
trying
to
get
us
be,
as
even
as
we
can,
you
know
not
have
accesses
or
deficiencies.
We
think
that
we
could
probably
absorb
that
amount.
Before
the
end
of
the
year.
We
found
that
there
are
some
expenses
that
we
won't
incur
so
we're
our
budget
for
2022.
O
The
expense
side
of
that
budget
won't
be
as
as
large
as
what
we
had
estimated
and
we
think
we're
going
to
get
a
little
more
Revenue,
so
we
may
be
able
to
cover
that
for
the
end
of
the
year.
There's
no
way
we
could
cover
all
the
fuel
labor
and
vehicle
expenses
associated
with
the
ahrc's
requested
change.
They
give
us
a
lot
of
detailed
information
and
I
have
that
available.
If
anybody
has
any
questions,
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
L
Thank
you,
director,
Riggs
I
will
start
with
a
question
for
either
your
for
the
mayor
I'm
wondering
if
we
have
any
similar
contracts
that
we've
needed
to
update
in
response
to
changes
and
expenses
like
gasoline
or
fuel.
O
No
okay,
yeah.
Typically,
our
contracts
are
going
to
be
a
year
18
months.
This
is
a
three-year
contract,
so
this
is
where
you
would
see
that
kind
of
an
issue
coming
up,
and
you
want
to
have
that.
You
don't
want
to
have
be
changing
your
Solid
Waste
contractor
every
year
right,
so
you
really
want
to
do
this
multi-year
contract.
But
this
is
the
downside
to
that.
Thank.
O
Says
they
I,
don't
I,
don't
believe
we've
ever
done
this
before,
and
this
is
kind
of
unusual.
Like
I
said
we
went
from
a
diesel
of
two
dollars
and
30
cents
starting
you
know
in
2020
to
where
we
are
today.
We
think
those
fuel
costs
are
going
to
go
down
by
the
time
we
get
to
the
end
of
the
contract.
I'd
love
to
see
four
dollars
and
fifty
cents
or
475
and
ahrc
has
made
some
estimates
along
that
line.
O
L
You,
the
last
question
I'll
ask
right:
now
is
just
kind
of
about
my
interpretation
of
your
response
as
being
somewhat
optimistic
when,
with
regard
to
our
ability
to
recoup
the
additional
funds
that
we'd
be
spending
and
we've
had
sort
of
an
unstable
environment
for
making
these
kinds
of
projections
with
the
impact
of
the
pandemic
and
such
so
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
elaborate
on
what
is
going
to
happen.
That
impacts
our
budget
favorably
when
it
comes
to
waste
yeah.
O
I
actually
do
if
you,
if
you
could
allow
me.
O
To
the
end
of
August
that
I
and
I
from
September
October
November
December
I
made
some
let's
go
based
on
where
we've
been
in
the
past
and
that's
what
I'm
looking
at
it.
Also.
This
also
shows
on
the
far
column,
the
far
right
column,
what
was
budgeted
for
the
2022
calendar
year,
the
totals,
and
then
you
can
see
over
here,
September
October
November
December
those
columns.
This
is
where
I've
estimated,
where
we
think
we're
going
to
be
with
the
the
expense
and
then
where
we
think
we're
going
to
be
with
the
revenue.
C
A
documents
that
you
denied
about
19
of
these
so
get
ready
the
two
budgeted
columns
here
the
perfect
book
is
garbage
fund.
This
is
expense.
The
other
one
is
revenue.
Well,
what?
What
are
the
differences.
O
Between
the
two
columns,
the
column
to
the
the
far
right
column
is
what
we
is
a
revised
budget
for
2022.
That
was
what
was
budgeted
the
column
the
right
next
to
that
is
where
we
are
to
date
with
my
projections.
Okay,.
C
So
and
I
would
assume
the
same
holds
true
on
the
second
sheet.
Yes,
sir,
so
the
revised
budget
of
expense
is
a
2.1
million
dollars,
that's
the
bud.
That
was
what
was
budgeted.
Okay
yeah
and
the
revised
budget
revenue
is
1.9,
yes,
which
is
a
deficit
of
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Yes,
so
you're
projecting
right
now
would
be
two
hundred
thousand.
That
was
the.
C
C
And
you're
saying
with
that
144
000
to
the
good
we
could
absorb
58.
This
request
is
58
000.,
so
instead
of
having
144
000
to
start
the
year,
which
would
be
nice,
we're
only
going
to
start
the
year
with
the
roughly
half
of
that.
O
Yeah
and
what
this
does
is
this
actually
decreases
our
cushion
that
we
have
available
so
yeah
yeah.
It
will
have
effect
on
our
residents
exactly.
C
So
my
preference
would
be
not
to
have
to
touch
that
144
000,
because
that
tells
me
that
you're,
you
folks,
have
done
a
very,
very
good
job
of
managing
the
budget.
Both
sides,
the
expenses
and
the
revenue
and
I,
would
be
inclined
not
to
want
to
touch
that
which
raises
this
question.
C
O
So
so
this
is
an
Enterprise
fund.
It's
supposed
to
be
self-sufficient
and
I
know.
We've
had
issues
where
we've
had
to
inject
money
into
this
fund
to
keep
it
solvent.
That's
another
possibility,
I,
don't
know
I.
J
C
This
is
a
this
is
a
tough
one.
It
it
really
is
because,
yes,
sir
anyone
who's
been
in
business
for
themselves
knows
when
they
sign
a
multi-year
contract.
They
are
they're,
they're,
they're
bound
to
that,
and
things
do
come
up.
I
guess
the
first
question
I
would
ask
in
regards
to
that
is
what
expense
reductions
as
ahrc,
taken
to
mitigate
what
they're
saying
it
is
a
shortfall.
C
That
yeah,
you
know
I
was
in
the
yearbook
business,
and
there
were
times
in
that
34
years
that
paper
costs
went
through
the
roof,
but
we
were
locked
into
a
two
or
three
year:
contract
with
the
school
district
and
and
I'm
not
advocating
what
I'm
about
to
say
by
any
means
because
I
agree
with
you,
we
don't
want
to
be
changing
haulers
every
year,
but
if
I
were
to
go
to
a
school
district,
hey
our
paper
costs
have
gone
up.
I
need
to
raise
the
price
for
your
book.
C
C
So
if
there's
any
way
that
we
can
find
a
a
cash
store
for
lack
of
a
better
term
somewhere
that
we
don't
have
to
diminish
the
144
000
that
you
folks
have
worked
so
hard
to
carry
over
to
next
year.
That
would
be
wonderful
and
I
agree
with
you
labor
vehicle
expenses.
Everything!
F
C
H
Thank
you,
member
McCary,
director
Riggs.
So
will
the
balance
that
we
have?
Let's
say
it's
144
000
dollars?
Will
that
impact
what
we
are
going
to
have
to
do
to
rates
in
order
to
pay
the
next
contract?
The.
O
In,
in
my
opinion,
the
more
cushion
we
have,
the
more
flexibility
we
would
be
able
to
give
to
the
rate
increases,
and
we
want,
as,
as
you
know,
we've
worked
before
on
getting
those
like
Razor
Edge,
as
close
as
we
can,
with
a
with
less
of
a
cushion
we'd
have
to
have
a
little
more
buffer
because
we
don't
want
to
crash
and
get
a
negative
fund
here.
O
So
yeah
I
think
the
more
more
buffer
that
you
have,
the
more
cushion
that
you
have
underneath
the
more
flexible
you
can
be
with
with
some
of
the
rate
proposals
that
you
would
maybe
need
to
do
coming
up
next
year.
H
H
O
O
We
could
what
what
what
happens
is
you
know
this
is
all
fluctuates
every
month
to
month,
year
to
year
these
fluctuate.
So
you
can't
go.
You
can't
go
negative.
You
have
to
have
enough
fund
there
so
that
you,
if,
if
your
Revenue
decreases
and
your
expenses,
don't
that
just
not
going
negative,
so
that's
that'll.
Let
us
get
a
little
bit
closer
to
break
even
again
and
give
us
a
little
a
little
bit
of
breathing
room
in
case.
We
don't
quite
make
that
what
but
with
that
cushion
underneath,
does
that
make
sense.
H
Yes,
it
does,
and
let
me
ask
also
about
you
know,
as
member
spike
said
looking
forward
to
the
future
in
the
next
contract
and
how
we
work
in
this
language
that
you
read
from
the
contract
is
very
interesting.
I
think
it
is
kind
of
you
know
an
Athenian,
let's
work
on
this
together,
a
kind
of
kind
of
thing,
but
it's
really
vague
as
a
contract.
It's
like!
Oh
really.
What
does
that
mean
exactly
so
looking
forward?
H
O
Is
that
the
way,
so
we
think
the
city
will
win
either
way
here,
because
if
you
don't
have
those
escalator
Clauses
in
a
contract,
the
contractors,
the
bidders
have
to
assume
some
liability.
Some?
What
happens
if
the
price
goes
up,
so
they're
going
to
bump
up
their
costs
to
cover
for
that
almost
like
insurance
and
just
in
case
something
would
were
to
go
up.
O
If
we
put
this
in
here,
where
we're
going
to
tell
them
we'll
cover
you
for
those
for
those
High
bumps,
then
we
can
get
a
probably
get
a
lower
cost
from
the
bidders
coming
in.
So
we
think
this
is
going
to
help
us
either
way
whether
the
prices
are
stable,
rise
or
or
fall,
we'll
end
up
with
better
prices
from
the
bidders.
H
I
appreciate
member
Swank's
business
experience
experience
that
I
don't
have
at
the
level
that
he
has
I'm,
maybe
a
little
bit
more
open
to
the
fuel
costs
that
HRC
has
has
taken
on
whether
it
comes
from
from
the
garbage
fund
or
from
maybe
Revenue
replacement
from
the
arpa
funds.
Knowing
that
we
just
went
through
reappropriating,
our
own
budgets
to
recruit
include
those
costs
for
all
of
our
departments,
which
had
more
costs
from
Fuel
and
other
expenses.
So
I
appreciate
you
bringing
that
to
council's
attention.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
We
care.
L
O
O
The
worst
case
scenario
would
be
ahrc
says
we
can't
perform
the
contract
anymore
and
then
we'd
be
scrambling
to
try
to
find,
but
we
can't
let
Solid
Waste
pile
up.
We
have
to
find
some
way
to
to
provide
solid
waste.
It
might
be
more
expensive
than
this
additional
cost.
So
that
would
be
the
worst
case
scenario.
I.
Think.
L
Thank
you
final
question
from
Committee
Member,
then
we'll
move
to
others,
a
council
member
swink.
O
G
G
They
can't
do
any
or
as
far
as
I
can
tell
haven't
done
anything
on
their
part
to
reduce
their
costs.
I
mean
if
it
would
mean
layoff
of
personnel.
I
mean
drastic
action
on
their
part
in
order
to
keep
to
the
terms
of
the
contract,
but
instead
they
come
to
us
and
they
say
we
can't
do
it.
You
have
to
give
us
more
money,
or
else
we
can't
take
your
trash
so
we're
now
in
a
in
over
a
barrel.
G
Well,
okay,
here's
the
money:
where
do
we
get
the
money
we
go
to
the
taxpayer
and
we
say
we're
going
to
raise
your
rates?
Okay,
and
this
just
continues
it
it
doesn't,
it
doesn't
stop
and
they
have
no
motivation.
There.
There's
no
reason
for
our
for
them
with
the
with
the
contract
to
say:
I
need
to
become
more
efficient.
I
I
need
to
change
my
operating
model.
Somehow,
perhaps
I
need
to
get
away
from
Diesel
and
find
something
cheaper,
the
threat
that
they
could
give
us
to
say
that.
G
G
As
far
as
you
know
that
got
lit
under
us,
you
had
everybody
in
the
world
coming
in
here
saying
that
was
the
worst
decision
city
has
ever
made
in
the
history
of
the
world
and,
and
we
had
to
backtrack,
I
mean
we
we
had
came,
we
caved
in
even
though
they
that
that
other
bidder
was
was
was
lower,
cheaper,
so
I
guess
what
I'm
getting
at
is
that
if,
if
we
do
as
perhaps
as
you're
saying,
maybe
we
don't
want
to
find
another
contractor,
but
if
we
did-
and
we
actually
actually
decided
to
do
that,
it
would
mean
going
up
against
a
lot
of
public
opposition,
and
it
would
mean
sticking
to
your
guns
and
saying
yes,
I
know
it'll
put
you
out
of
business,
but
I've
got
a
community
here
to
run
I
gotta
I.
G
G
J
We
had
the
option
to
rebid,
that's
what
we
ended
up
doing
I
think
it's
kind
of
being
talked
about
briefly
or
in
different
ways.
Again.
This
was
has
been
mentioned
that
we
will
go
out
to
bed
again,
we
have
to
by
law.
You
know
at
the
end
of
this
contract
and
so
I'm,
just
asking
Council
and
the
viewing
audience
tonight
and
those
who
are
here.
You
know
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
what
the
bids
do
come
in.
Looking
like,
because
they're
in
lies,
potentially
rate
changes.
J
If
all
the
bids
come
in
higher
much
like
what
happened
with
two
bids
that
came
in
in
the
last
round,
you
know
to
where
one
we
saw
an
increase
I
believe
it
was
by
a
million
or
more,
and
so
that
was
a
big
change
from
what
was
the
previous
contract
with
that
particular
hauler
here
in
the
city
of
Athens.
So
just
throwing
that
out.
There
is
something
that
we
need
to
be
cognizant
of
when
we're
talking
about
rate
changes
and
things
of
that
nature.
J
C
We've
had
a
request.
We've
had
some
questions
answered
that
we
don't
have
answers.
We've
had
some
questions
asked
that
we
don't
have
answers
to.
What
do
we
do?
Do
we
bring
this
up
for
first
reading
next
week
with
all
of
this
uncertainty
on
Claire
lack
of
clarity,
or
do
we
try
to
get
some
of
this
stuff
answered?
First,
I'm
hearing
opinions
all
over.
L
O
This
request
that
ahrc
has
made
was
for
to
the
end
of
the
contract,
so
the
58
000
for
the
and
I'm
specifically
talking
about
fuel
the
58
000
requested
is,
is
to
the
end
of
the
year
to
the
end
of
the
contract.
So
so,
there's
no
specific
time
frame
associated
with
sounds.
L
Like
they
would
like
just
before
the
end
of
the
contract,
they
would
like
at
least
58
000
by
that
time
by
the
okay
into
this
calendar
year.
Thank
you
any
questions
from
the
audience
on
this
topic.
Yes,.
P
Mary
abel48
Strathmore
several
years
ago
in
the
discussion
of
solid
waste,
and
when
we
went
to
single
stream
recycling,
it
was
decided
that
all
of
us
in
the
city
were
to
have
the
large
Blue
recycled
containers
which
are
pretty
large,
and
the
discussion
at
that
time
was
the
reasoning
being
that
there
would
be
a
vehicle
that
would
be
able
to
pick
up
those
big
bins
and
dump
them
into
the
truck
which,
if
you
go
to
other
cities,
that's
pretty
common
I'm,
wondering
one
that
has
never
happened.
P
I,
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
happen
or
if
you
know
but
I'm
wondering
whether
or
not
residents
could
have
a
choice
of
going
to
a
smaller
recycling
blue
container.
If
you
don't
have
that
much
Recycling
and
which
to
me
might
make
more
sense
and
the
other
thing
is
also
the
whole
storage
issue,
I'm
sure.
P
As
you
drive
around
Athens,
you
see
those
containers
sitting
in
front
of
houses,
garages
and
whatever
so
I
I
just
bring
that
up
as
one
of
those
things
when
you're
having
the
solid
waste
discussion
to
see
whether
or
not
there
could
be
any
other
consideration
given
to
that.
Thank
you
thank.
L
You
very
much
question
for
the
mayor:
do
we
typically
have
Community
input
forums
as
part
of
the
trash
contract.
J
Typically,
no,
this
council
member
Swank
indicated
the
last
time
we
had
again
the
the
conversation
in
the
bid
opening
and
so
on
so
forth.
It
created
a
lot
of
public
input,
but
not
about
things
like
Miss
Abel
was
bringing
up
with
the
smaller
bins.
You
know
the
other
thing
too.
J
You
reminded
me
that
not
only
these
larger
96
gallon
bins,
but
also
the
the
the
chip
it
was
with
those
that
was
for
a
truck
that
not
only
has
the
arm
that
can
pick
it
up,
but
it
can
read
the
you
know
the
chip
and
identify
that
bin
is
at
50,
Longview,
Heights
or
wherever
in
the
city
so,
and
that
never
came
to
fruition,
which
is
really
kind
of
disappointing
I've,
been
in
other
communities
that
have
that
kind
of
a
feature
for
the
trucks,
it's
better
on
the
the
actual
laborers
that
are
working
because
they're
having
to
hoist
extremely
heavy
bins
and
I'm
guilty
of
that
I
think
we
over
pack
our
recycling
bin,
but
we
recycle
a
lot
so
Point
well
taken
to
where
we
could
can.
J
B
So
it
sounds
like
we
as
council
member
swanks
indicated:
we've
got
a
lot
of
different
opinions,
a
few
questions
that
could
be
clarified,
perhaps
by
ahrc
some
things
that
we
can
think
about
for
a
future
contracts
that
might
save
money,
and
so
we
appreciate
those
suggestions.
So
maybe
this
could
come
back
out
of
the
October
10th
I.
L
B
Committee
meeting
with
some
answers
to
the
questions
I.
L
Think
that
would
be
my
recommendation
that
we
also
provide
an
opportunity
for
questions
with
the
law
director
specifically
about
that
contract.
Yes,.
L
I
think
so,
and
I
think
that
he
might
also
appreciate
questions
in
advance,
especially
about
things
that
they've
done
to
reduce
costs.
That
sort
of
thing,
oh
and
last,
comment
from
the
mayor.
J
Just
really
quick-
and
it's
just
that
you
know
having
read
through
this
document
in
terms
of
what
they
were
asking
for
for
the
labor
and
the
vehicle
expenses.
You
know
I
strongly,
am
opposed
to
to
paying
that
because
we're
talking
about
fuel
costs.
So
therefore,
you
know
to
to
figure
out
how
we
crack
this
nut
when
it
comes
to
the
fifty
eight
thousand
dollars
is
the
only
thing
that
we're
talking
about
thank.
L
You
so
it
sounds
like
our
next
step
would
be
to
bring
this
back
to
committee.
October
10th
was
it
okay?
Thank
you.
Our
second
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
salt
pit
roof
repair.
This
is
not
the
first
time
we've
discussed
it,
but
we
do
need
to
consider
a
request
for
an
increase
in
costs
for
this
project.
L
I
was
pleased
to
correspond
with
Jessica
Adin
and
confirm
that
this
isn't
really
something
that
we
have
a
choice
on.
We,
this
salt
storage
tank
is
located
at
the
water
treatment
plant
and
the
city
has
received
a
bid
to
increase
sorry.
We
need
one
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
more
to
allow
the
city
to
award
the
bid
to
have
these
repairs
made.
L
So,
if
possible,
it
would
be
beneficial
for
the
ordinance
to
be
approved
after
two
readings
so
that
the
contract
can
be
signed
in
October
and
the
contractor
Can
Begin
work
in
November
all
kinds
of
bad
things
will
happen
to
our
water.
If
we
don't
take
care
of
this,
so
I
will
ask
first
for
questions
from
the
community.
Yes,
councilmember.
C
I,
don't
think
bad
things
going
to
happen.
We
don't
want
to
alarm
the
public,
but
I
would
ask
this
respectfully
and
then
this
is
not
the
first
time
tonight.
It's
not
for
the
first
time
in
the
last
six
or
seven
months,
but
when
we
have
agenda
items
such
as
this,
it
would
be
very
nice
if
we
had
written
documentation
on
our
Drive
Friday
when,
when
the
clerk
puts
them
out,
there's
nothing
on
here.
It
would
be
nice
to
know
the
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
back.
C
When
we
were
talking
about
the
the
rental
thing,
it
would
have
been
nice
to
to
have
that
Amendment
it
it's
it's
very
difficult
for
a
council
person
I
think
to
sit
here,
's,
something
for
the
first
time
and
be
asked
to
offer
public
comment
on
it
and
I.
Just
really
would
respectfully
request
that
anything
on
the
agenda,
anything
that
we're
going
to
discuss,
whether
being
committee
or
General
Session,
that
we
have
the
requisite
documentation
and
if
it's
just
to
draft
that's
fine,
just
put
draft
across
the
middle.
C
So
we
know
where
the
starting
point.
But
when
we're
hearing
things
for
the
first
time
it
it
kind
of
puts
us
in
a
in
a
reactionary
mode,
because
you
know
if
we
find
out
about
this
on
Friday
I've
got
Saturday
Sunday
and
all
day
Monday.
To
do
a
little
bit
of
research.
Google
is
a
wonderful
thing
and
we
all
have
neighbors
on
either
side.
C
We
can
ask
opinions,
but
here
at
seven
o'clock,
boom,
110
000
after
we've
been
just
asked
for
58,
and
all
of
that
I'll
put
on
my
Auditor's
I,
said:
wow
where's,
all
this
money
going
so
just
a
just
a
respectful
request
going
forward
would
be
very,
very
helpful,
I
think
for
all
of
us
to
do
the
best
job.
We
could.
Thank
you
president
nicely.
B
So
it
in
turn
puts
the
pressure
on
Administration
to
help
us
so
that
when
we
see
an
email
or
something
that
we
think
that
would
be
helpful
background
say:
could
you
drop
it
in
you
know
in
the
the
agenda
and
or
the
shared
drive
and
I
know
I'm
guilty
of
the
same
thing
this
afternoon,
I
found
something
and
I
said:
I
think
we
better
have
this
on
a
shared
drive
and
so
Debbie
was
able
to
get
it.
Our
Clerk
of
council
was
able
to
get
it
on
immediately,
but
so
we'll
we'll.
L
L
Things
will
happen
in
our
bathtubs
that
we
don't
want
to
see.
Our
clothes
will
be
all
dingy
smelling
and
our
dishes
will
have
spots.
So
those
are
the
kinds
of
concerns
we're
trying
to
avoid
yeah
Mr,
Mayor
she's.
J
Trying
to
process
just
for
clarification,
please!
This
is
softening
salt.
You
know
our
water
is
hard,
so
it's
the
softening
salt
that
goes
into
making
our
water,
so
soft
and
velvety
the
water
quality
will
always
stay
the
same.
You
look
at
our
CCR
and
you'll
see
in
our
consumer
confidence
report
that
our
water
quality
is
best.
J
You
know
part
of
the
issue
too,
was
that
this
came
in
slightly
over
the
engineer's
estimated
bid
price
during
the
bid
opening,
but
it
was
under
the
10,
so
it
still
qualifies
as
a
viable
bid.
We
just
didn't
appropriate.
You
know
as
much
as
we
should
have
with
this
particular
project.
So
that's
the
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
that's
going
towards
this.
J
This
is
going
to
be
a
challenging
project
just
to
share
that
that's
the
the
the
roof
on
the
salt
pit
is
going
to
require
a
lot
of
hand
labor
for
individuals
to
be
down
there
to
do
the
cribbing
to
get
the
forms
in
place
and
operating
in
a
Subterranean
environment
to
get
that
repaired,
the
the
roof.
You
know
unless
something
crazy
happens,
is
not
going
to
fail,
but
you
know
to
council
member
would
carry
his
point.
J
J
The
the
Connector
Road
is
closer
to
Athens
Public
Transit
over
in
that
area.
Oh.
L
Thank
you,
other
council
members
with
questions
on
this
topic.
Audience
members
and
I.
Think
the
question
would
be
a
logistical
one
about
the
consideration
for
requests
that
this
be
addressed
in
two
readings
so
that
the
contract
can
be
signed
in
October
and
the
contract
contractor
Can
Begin
work
in
November
president
nicely.
Can
you
is
that.
B
L
B
B
H
Thank
you,
president
nicely.
We
have
two
items
really
on
our
agenda
tonight.
We
have
the
public
defender,
contract
and
then
appropriation.
So
let's
first
talk
about
the
public
defender
contract,
just
to
remind
everyone
that
the
city
of
Athens
collaborates
with
the
County
government
on
supporting
our
public
defenders.
These
are
it
gives
us
the
ability
or
for
Indigent
persons
who
are
charged
with
city
ordinance,
violations
or
Ohio
revised
code
violations
inside
the
inside
our
city
to
have
legal
representation.
H
So
this
becomes
a
little
complicated
each
year
as
we
negotiate
this
contract
or
not
negotiate
but
settle
our
portion
of
it.
I
will
remind
city
council
or
inform
you
if
you
were
not
aware
that,
beginning
in
July
of
2021
and
going
through
June
of
this
year,
the
state
of
Ohio
decided
to
cover
a
hundred
percent
of
this
contract.
H
H
We
had
appropriated
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
for
the
full
calendar
year,
but
we
will
only
be
having
to
expend
16
910.32
cents
for
the
second
half
of
this
year.
H
So
there
are,
is
there
is
approximately
thirty
eight
thousand
dollars
that
will
be.
That
will
be
available
now,
I'm
very
happy
that
the
auditor
is
here,
because
this
is
Financial
expertise
a
little
bit
beyond
my
own
and
one
of
my
questions,
if
the
auditor
doesn't
mind
joining
us,
is
the
six
months
next
is
from
January
of
2023
to
June
of
2023..
If
I
understand
correctly,
that
won't
be
in
another.
Sixteen
thousand
that
will
go
back
more
to
what
they
used
to
be.
Q
Yes,
you're
exactly
right.
Our
budget
for
next
year
will
include
the
full
payments
for
the
end
of
next
year.
Right
because
that's
how
we
budget
is
for
our
our
fiscal
year,
which
is
a
calendar
year,
so
you're
right.
H
So
this
item
is
to
discuss
this
payment
of
of
16
910
dollars,
and
you
can
see
on
your
drive
this
agreement
that
the
County
Commissioners
have
already
agreed
to,
and
it's
simply
our
duty
to
agree
to
pay
for
this.
Second,
six
months
of
2022,
even
though
obviously
we're
already
in
September
and
the
amount
is.
D
H
This
year,
because
the
state
of
Ohio
having
picked
up
the
first
six
months
of
2022.,
any
questions
from
the
committee
on
this
item,
other
members
of
council
member,
was
that
state
money,
just
a
One-Shot
deal
I
believe
so
I
mean
we'll.
Take
it
again.
Oh
absolutely
I
think
it
was
a
covered.
Related
okay
offer
other
members
of
council
members
of
the
audience,
Administration.
H
Okay,
we'll
go
on
to
our
second
item,
which
is
Appropriations,
and
we
have
three
Appropriations
to
discuss.
The
first
one
is
a
five
thousand
dollar
appropriation
to
the
Athens
enhancement
fund,
which
will
be
for
the
community
Halloween
expenses
and
in
particular
this
will
be
for
the
passion,
Works
honey
for
the
heart
parade
and
I.
Don't
have
any
additional
information
on
that.
Would
the
mayor
like
to
provide
anything
or,
as
I've
said
it
all,
you've.
J
J
So
we've
used
the
Athens
enhancement
fund
for
a
sundry
of
different
things
in
the
past,
everything
from
the
flowers
that
you
see
up
on
Court,
Street
to
to
the
Athena
award
to
other
things
that
serve
the
greater
good,
and
we
feel
that
this
is
since
we're
kind
of
rethinking
the
Halloween
block
party
to
make
it
more
family
friendly
to
this
inappropriate
use
to
be
able
to
fund
this
request.
For.
J
H
My
teenage
son
is
working
on
a
thesis
about
the
last
sort
of
20
years
in
Athens
and
the
things
that
have
happened
in
Athens
that
make
it
a
really
special
place,
and
it
keep
feels
like
his
lifetime
is
maybe
special
in
this
way.
Passion
works
is
one
of
those
things
that
he
identified,
as
you
know,
becoming
a
really
it's
everywhere.
You
know
the
pawpaw
Festival,
you
know
everywhere.
H
You
see
this
wonderful
organization
and
I
have
been
in
the
honey
for
the
heart
parade
myself
inside
a
costume,
I'm
sure
the
mayor
has
to,
and
it's
a
wonderful
time
and
I
really
am
supportive
of
the
city
Administration
and
the
city,
making
Halloween
a
family
community
event
as
much
as
possible
until
we
get
into
the
later
hours.
But
then
it's
okay
to
have
the.
D
Rest
of
the
gang
have
a
good
time.
H
Anyway
and
honey
for
the
heart
is
just
such
a
fabulous
that
that
I
would
am
in
support
of
this
mayor.
You
want
another
comments,
just.
J
Really
quick,
just
FYI
the
parade
is
from
five
to
six
approximately
and
the
Halloween
block
party
will
completely
be
done
by
10

two
hours
per
request
of
a
lot
of

to
give
them
enough
time
to
go
home,
get
their
kids
all
dressed
up
and
send
them
out
into
the
neighborhood
so
you're,
referring

the
neighborhood

J
H
Members
of
the
public
any
comments:
okay,
moving
on
to
the
next
item,
a
little
bit
more
difficult
or
larger
amount.
Anyway,
you
have
seen
an
item
on
our
Drive
regarding
overtime
in
the
city
of
Athens,
and
this
specifically
is
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
appropriated
the
general
fund
for
fire
wages
through
the
year
end,
and
this
includes
mostly
overtime
but
also
pension
and
the
the
other
things
impacted
by
paying
overtime.
H
You
can
see
on
your
drive
there
that
it
is
calculated
at
about
478
thousand
dollars
for
our
excellent
firefighters,
and
this
is
an
appropriation
necessary
for
our
safety
Services.
Any
questions
from
the
committee
on
this
appropriation.
H
Q
Sure
by
law
were
required
to
pay
our
people
who
work.
Everybody
is
and
thank
you,
and
so
you
know
we
budgeted
at
the
end
of
last
year,
for
what
we
thought
would
be
the
budget
for
the
year
and
then
there
were.
There
were
really
a
lot
of
things
went
into
play
here,
but
they
made
changes.
Staffing
changes
at
the
fire
department.
We
now
have
six
lieutenants
instead
of
three,
and
so
that's
just
kind
of
mixed
up
a
lot
of
things.
Q
We
added
two
positions
to
help
with
some
carryover
to
hire
new
people,
and
it
just
involves
a
lot
of
overtime
for
the
fire
department.
It's
a
24
7
operation
and
when
people
so
people
are
filling
in
for
these
positions,
and
we've
had
one
retirement
so
far
this
year,
but
it
just
gets
expensive
when
we're
paying
overtime
hours
plus
they
have
shift
pay
depending
on
when
they
work.
Q
That's
an
added
cost
added
on
to
their
paychecks,
depending
on
the
shifts
that
they're
working
so
and
it
also
affects
Medicare
and
and
they're
police
and
fire
pension
fund,
and
all
that.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
the
money
in
in
their
budget
to
pay
that,
if
the
money's
not
appropriated,
then
it's
not
available
for
me
to
go
ahead
and
write
the
checks
that
makes
sense.
Q
Council
has
that
power
over
the
budget
and
is
the
checks
and
balance
for
what
we
spend
or
you
know,
I
could
just
write
checks
in
my
office
or
whatever,
but
it
has
to
be
appropriated
and
that's
up
to
council
so
that
everybody
sees
that.
Does
that
answer
your
question
so
yeah
and
I
know
it
seems
like
a
lot
of
money,
but
those
are
the
calculations
we
did.
Q
It's
just
like
I
said
several
changes
this
year
and
trying
to
hire
new
people
to
fill
these
different
positions
and
in
anticipation
of
losing
some
firefighters
for
this
year.
So
you
know,
I,
don't
know
six
months
or
so
from
here,
it'll
all
even
out,
but
right
now.
This
is
what
we
think
we
need,
and
you
know
in
the
big
picture.
Hopefully
we
won't
need
all
of
that,
but
at
least
we'll
have
it
in
the
budget.
C
H
Administration
dad
members
of
the
public
okay,
going
back
to
our
final
item-
is
thirty:
five
thousand
dollars
to
the
general
fund
for
ages
through
the
end
of
the
year.
Q
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out,
but
you
already
know
this
but
yeah,
it's
fun237,
which
is
a
court
Grant
fund
and
they
pay
people
out
of
there
and
they
want
to
use
up
all
the
money
for
one
thing
and
so
they're
going
to
stop
paying
one
of
the
people
out
of
that
fund
by
the
end
of
the
year.
Just
so
they
can
use
it.
