Description
Athens City Council - January 23, 2023
B
And
welcome
to
Athens
city
council
tonight
we're
in
committees.
We
have
an
important
presentation,
a
report
that's
coming
to
us
tonight
and
what
I
will
suggest
is
that
the
transportation
committee,
since
this
is
such
a
wide-ranging
discussion,
that
for
the
transportation
committee
at
least,
that
all
members
of
council
stay
up
at
the
Deus
and
after
we
have
the
presentation,
any
Council
comments
or
Administration
comments.
I
know
that
there
are
maybe
some
members
in
the
audience
who
also
want
to
make
comments,
and
that's
fine
for
you
to
do.
We
have
a
three-minute
limit
on
that.
C
You,
madam
president,
as
you
mentioned,
the
way
the
committee
will
operate
is
we'll
hear
your
your
presentation
and
then,
since
this
is
a
working
Council
session,
then
Council
will
then
be
Avail
to
ask
questions
and
make
comments
and
so
on,
and
then,
when
all
that's
finished,
we'll
move
to
elected
officials
who
may
wish
to
chime
in
and
then
we'll
move
to
the
the
audience
who
may
wish
to
speak
on
this
I.
Don't
know
if
the
president
wants
to
add
the
emails
that
we've
been
getting
about
this
to
the
to
the
record
or.
B
D
You
hello,
my
name
is
Diane
Bouvier
and
I
chair
the
ad
hoc
pedestrian
accessibility
committee.
What
began
as
a
resolution
by
former
city
council
member
Ariens
medley
to
address
the
inaccessible
state
of
our
sidewalks,
became
a
year-long
journey
for
this
city
and
for
this
committee,
when
we
talk
to
people
during
the
year
and
told
them
about
this
project,
we
often
heard
stories
about
people
falling
breaking
an
arm,
a
shoulder
twisting
an
ankle.
D
They
wanted
say,
trees
and
benches
signage
and
more
services
closer
to
where
they
lived.
Tonight.
We
do
our
final
presentation
highlighting
recommendations
that
came
from
this
community.
We
know
these
will
cost
money
and
we
believe
the
Athens
community
is
ready
to
support
having
better
sidewalks.
So,
let's
begin
with
Stephanie.
E
Athens
is
a
unique
Place.
34.9
percent
of
Athenians
walk
their
commute,
the
third
highest
rate
of
any
city
of
any
size
in
the
entire
country,
and
this
is
remarkable,
not
least
of
all,
because
out
of
the
38
miles
of
sidewalks
in
this
city,
nine
are
out
of
compliance
with
the
Ada
of
886.
Corners
373
have
problems
ranging
from
missing
detectable
warning
grid
to
not
having
a
ramp
at
all
and
that
doesn't
even
touch
the
37
miles
of
sidewalks.
E
We
need
to
build
to
give
every
street
in
Athens
a
sidewalk
on
at
least
one
side,
given
that
Athens
is
out
of
federal
compliance
and
therefore
risking
not
qualifying
for
future
Federal
funding.
It
might
seem
pretty
ambitious
that
this
committee
is
recommending
going
above
and
beyond
Federal
Ada
standards,
but
the
Ada
is
the
bare
minimum
required
by
a
law.
E
E
It's
not
great,
is
it
and
here's
the
other
direction
where
there
isn't
even
paint
it's
not
very
safe
or
comfortable
or
even
logical,
and
we
could
build
these
crosswalks
in
every
corner
and
be
in
compliance
or
we
can
go
above
and
beyond
to
make
places
that
are
safe,
intuitive,
comfortable
and
beautiful,
make
high
quality
places.
Why
give
ourselves
The
Bare
Bones
when
we
can
do
better
Athens
has
all
the
ingredients
to
be
a
pedestrian
paradise
and
every
reason
to
embrace
it.
E
Our
cute
walkable
downtown
is
a
large
part
of
why
parents
feel
comfortable
dropping
their
kids
off
at
University
here.
Imagine
if
we
not
just
allowed
but
encourage
pedestrianism,
Beyond,
Court
Street,
add
in
the
economic,
physical,
mental,
social
and
environmental
benefits.
We
know
increase,
walking,
brains
and
then
add
one
more
fact:
sidewalks
last
a
lot
longer
than
roads
anywhere
from
25
up
to
80
years.
Anything
we
build
today
will
still
be
in
good
repair
when
my
small
children
are
pushing
strollers
of
Their
Own.
E
F
That's
a
lot
and
there's
a
lot
of
information
in
there
in
addition
to
the
recommendations,
but
we
tried
to
organize
the
recommendations
by
categories
as
you
see
here
on
the
screen.
This
is
how
they're
organizing
the
report
as
it
stands
now
in
the
draft
you've
you've
seen
like
I,
said,
there's
about
50
or
exactly
I
think
it
is
50
recommendations
in
the
report
right
now
about
a
third
of
those
are
in
the
last
category.
F
F
So,
as
far
as
some
of
the
key
recommendations,
I'll
talk
about
just
a
handful
like
I,
said:
there's
50,
there's
way
too
much
to
go
into
detail
here
today
in
this
presentation,
but
the
recommendations
are
based
on
best
practices.
What
the
community
came
up
when
we
were
researching
these
topics
and
also
what
we
heard
from
the
community.
So
you've
heard
a
little
bit
about
the
survey
we
had
784
responses
to
the
survey
plus
we
had
Focus
sessions
and
other
things
going
on.
F
We
got
a
lot
of
community
input
and
that
really
helped
us
build
this
report.
So
that's
really
a
key
piece
of
the
information
we
used.
So
the
first
item
on
this
list,
though,
is
implementing
a
list
of
prioritized
sidewalk
and
accessibility
projects
that
we've
included
in
the
in
the
the
report.
So
that's
one
recommendation,
there's
37
items,
there's
a
lot
of
information
here.
F
The
top
item
in
this
sidewalk
project
list
is
the
intersection
you
see
on
the
left
here,
which
are
all
probably
familiar
with
Union
and
Court
Street,
where
there's
the
scramble
Crossing
or
the
barns
dance.
If
you
want
to
use
that
term
for
it,
but
it's
not
exactly
very
accessible
as
it
stands
currently
and
I'm
going
to
play
a
video
here
that
one
of
our
audience
members.
F
G
Probably
the
centerpieces
of
Athens
and
the
campus,
however,
it
is
terribly
dangerous,
Crossing
these
streets,
the
curb
cuts,
are
not
really
cuts.
When
you
go
up,
you
have
to
really
pay
attention
to
whether
you're
going
to
go
backwards
or
forwards
when
you
get
there
and
if
you
get
to
a
curb
cut,
that's
not
accurate
or
appropriate.
You
can
find
yourself
going
backwards
in
the
chair.
G
Also,
many
of
the
streets
are
not
even
and
as
you
can
see
here
at
the
College
Bookstore,
the
street
actually
makes
me
go
sideways
and
I
feel
like
I
want
to
fall
over
going
to
the
center
of
the
street.
There
are
too
many
holes
and
you
have
to
really
avoid
going
to
the
center
and
by
the
time
I
get
to
the
middle
of
the
street.
G
F
All
right,
so
thank
you
to
Dr
Lewis
for
putting
that
video
together
and
the
support
she
had
to
do
that
as
well.
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
the
slide
deck
here
so
that
intersection
we're
all
familiar
with
the
right.
It's
pedestrian,
friendly
right,
I.
Think
of
it
as
being
that
it's
designed
more
for
pedestrians
than
probably
any
intersection
in
town,
but
it's
still
not
very
accessible.
Now
to
the
city's
credit,
the
city
Engineers
know
this
is
an
issue
and
they
have
plans
to
already
try
and
work
on.
This
intersection
improve
the
accessibility
of
this
intersection.
F
So
this
is
a
top
recommendation,
but
we
already
know
that
the
city
already
has
this
high
on
their
list,
so
they
have
intentions
to
update
this
intersection,
to
make
it
more
accessible
so
to
go
down
the
list
a
little
bit
here.
Looking
at
the
second
item,
create
a
sidewalk
program
and
there's
some
sub
recommendations
on
this.
This
is
really
one
of
the
cruxes
of
our
report
is
where
other
cities
have
tried
to
improve
their
sidewalk
condition.
They've
had
the
same
problems
same
challenges.
We
Face
here
at
Athens.
F
It's
not
a
new
problem,
but
many
cities,
even
in
Ohio,
have
tried
to
fix
this
problem
and
try
to
address
it,
and
one
of
the
things
they've
done
usually
is
created
a
sidewalk
program,
so
formalize
a
program
to
help
fix
our
sidewalks
and
that
can
be
multi-faceted.
A
couple
of
the
items
on
here
include
enhancing
the
sidewalk
condition
assessments,
so
the
engineers
have
done
assessments.
The
planning
office
has
done
assessments.
F
Previous
to
that,
we
would
suggest
that
those
should
be
updated
for
a
complete
inventory
of
the
city's
pedestrian
infrastructure
and
that
the
standards
should
be
set
up
so
that
it's
clear
when
they
do
these
assessments,
whether
or
not
a
particular
piece
of
infrastructure
is
accessible
or
not.
They
make
that
really
clear
right.
Now,
it's
not
so
clear
in
the
results
that
they
have
in
their
in
their
assessment,
adopting
and
communicating
sidewalk
standards.
F
So
in
the
past,
there's
been
arguments
about
whether
or
not
a
particular
piece
of
sidewalk
needs
to
be
replaced
in
2015
when
the
city
did
a
sidewalk
project
on
three
streets
in
the
city,
it
became
a
point
of
contention
that
the
engineer
said
this
needs
to
be
replaced
and
somebody
could
easily
argue
well
I,
don't
think
it
does.
There's
no
standards.
The
city
has
adopted
to
say
exactly
what
it
means
to
be
accessible
or
For,
That
Sidewalk
to
be
in
good
usable
condition,
and
we
recommend
that
the
city
establish
those
standards.
F
F
So
that's
also
an
important
facet
of
this.
Like
Diane
said
it's
going
to
cost
money.
How
the
city
can
pay
for
this
is
is
a
tough
question.
We
have
some
ideas
about
that,
but
we
don't
have
any
real
solutions
and
I
think
that's
where
the
real
discussion
about
this
will
go
down
down
the
road
work
with
neighborhoods
develop
10-year
plan
so
engage
with
the
communities
on
this.
F
Adopt
what
is
a
multimodal
design
guide
from
ODOT,
so
they
finally
got
on
board
with
this
just
this
summer
and
published
a
multimodal
design
guide
for
pedestrian
infrastructure,
and
it's
really
well
done
so.
I
would
say
to
my
opinion,
surprisingly
well
done
for
ODOT
and
I.
Think
it's
something
that
the
city
should
look
at,
make
sure
it's
what
they
agree.
F
And
lastly,
I'm
not
going
to
really
cover
this
much
detail,
but
we
did
make
a
graph
a
chart
here
to
try
and
organize
some
of
the
recommendations.
This
is
just
over
half
of
them
in
a
format
that
you
could
easily
try
and
consume
and
say
the
upper
left
here
short
range
high
impact
or
best
bang
for
your
buck.
You
can
do
them
quickly,
you
can
get
them
done
cheap,
and
so
this
can
help
Focus.
F
H
H
Even
though
matching
dollars
are
required
for
Grants,
they
provide
the
majority
of
funds
for
streets
and
sidewalks,
for
example
the
Stimson
Avenue
project
as
you're,
aware
of,
and
the
upcoming
West
Union
and
West
Washington
Street
project.
So
a
lot
of
exciting
things
have
happened
and
are
in
the
works
note
that
arpa
funds
are
not
accessible
for
this
purpose,
but
maybe
in
the
future.
H
H
We
are
not
meeting
our
legal
and
moral
obligations
to
provide
people
with
disabilities
and
for
the
rest
of
us
with
safe
and
passable
walkways
because
of
the
systems
we
had
if
you'll
just
take
a
second
to
read
the
quote.
There
we'd
really
appreciate
this,
for
is
from
the
usodot
guide
for
maintaining
pedestrian
facilities.
H
So
the
Federal
Highway
Administration
says
City
should
give
get
creative
with
their
fundraising
funding.
Excuse
me
enough,
so
we've
identified
some
funding
models
for
discussion
and
the
first
one
is
the
sidewalk
replacement,
City
resident
cost
sharing
program,
and
so,
in
some
places
it's
a
blended
funding
model
which
a
City
offers
a
50
50
shared
cost
for
property
owners.
The
city
then
creates
a
program
in
which
property
owners
coordinate
their
own
sidewalk
repairs.
H
Of
course,
this
would
be
overseen
by
code
enforcement
and
making
sure
that
the
quality
standards
are
met,
and
then
once
it's
done,
they
can
apply
for
50
percent
to
be
paid
by
the
city.
The
issues
there,
some
City
staff
believe
this
option
would
be
too
complicated
and
special
programs
would
need
to
be
created
to
assist
low-income
homeowners
who
cannot
pay
as
they
have
in
Columbus,
with
a
special
City
program.
For
that
purpose.
H
Number
two
annual
sidewalk
assessment
cost
sharing
program
the
sidewalk
subscription.
The
city
would
divide
itself
into
four
sidewalk
Improvement
districts
based
on
current
wards.
Then
each
word
would
coordinate
sidewalk
and
pathway
repair,
allowing
for
complete
Street
rehab
using
Athens
City
standards
in
a
continuous
Corner
ramp
to
Corner
ramp,
continuous
ribbon.
The
funding
model
considers
Frontage
foot
traffic
and
property
ownership.
City
staff
did
not
specifically
comment
on
this
model,
and
in
this
model
there
would
be
a
flat
fee
for
low
traffic
areas.
H
Again.
This
is
very
there's
so
much
more
to
this.
Obviously,
another
option
that
was
raised
was
inside
millage
and
it's
very
clear
from
talking
to
Jill
Thompson,
the
county
auditor,
that
this
is
not
an
option
at
this
time.
Another
one
is
county-wide
sales
tax,
which
has
been
used
in
some
areas,
but
again
this
is
one
that
we
believe
would
not
be
accepted,
because
County
residents
don't
particularly
want
to
pay
for
city
sidewalks,
unfortunately,
but
perhaps
someday
in
the
future.
That
might
be
an
option.
H
H
So
this
is
an
issue
in
that
Athens
has
a
street
fund
that's
used
for
curbs
to
replace
adjacent
sidewalks
if
streets
are
torn
up
and
occasionally
to
pave
new
sidewalks
similar
to
funding,
prioritized
Street
projects.
Athens
need
to
create
a
process
for
funding
ongoing
sidewalk
projects
and
have
an
account
item
specifically
for
sidewalks.
Currently,
it's
one
item
and
there's
some
work
being
done.
That
is
not
separated
out,
so
many
cities
have
shifted
to
a
model
where
the
city
Administration
manages
city-wide
sidewalk
remediation,
new
construction
and
even
snow
removal.
H
Okay,
grants
covered
the
majority
of
Street
projects
and
the
federal
and
state
government
has
said
that
cities
have
to
have
an
ADA
transition
plan
which
is
being
worked
on
right
now,
I
know
or
if
we're
not
making
progress
on
a
plan,
and
then
implementing
that
plan
we
will
not
qualify
for
Grants
to
improve
streets
or
sidewalks
in
the
future.
Therefore,
our
position
is,
we
really
need
to
do
something
come
up
with
the
solution
to
get
our
sidewalks
up
to
code
and
then
I
will
bring
it
back
to
Diane.
Thank
you.
D
D
D
If
you
looked
at
any
of
the
images
that
quantify
the
sidewalks
the
curb
ramps,
the
places
that
are
accessible,
not
accessible,
we've
reviewed
City
practices
and
we've
talked
with
City
staff
to
try
to
get
an
understanding
of
what
our
current
processes
are
and
hear
what
it
is
that
people
are
are
working
with
and
concerned
about.
We've
looked
at
state
city
and
federal
codes
and
law.
D
D
We
conducted
the
survey
and
we
had
784
responses.
783
of
them
were
really
interested
in
us
improving
sidewalks.
One
said
this
is
a
really
biased
survey,
not
not
sure
it's
not
it's
not
anything
to
do
that
for
for
vehicle
for
drivers
and
we're
like.
Yes,
that's
true,
it
was
not,
but
there
were
so
many
comments,
saying
sidewalks.
We
really
want
to
have
better
sidewalks
and
the
focus
groups
were
really
telling
of
what
was
important.
D
I
thought
for
the
focus
groups.
The
thing
that
stood
out
to
me
when
I
was
doing
them
was
for
all
the
comments
that
I
heard.
When
I
did
the
disability
Group
about
just
one
I
mean
I
just
want
to
get.
There
was
like
the
phrase,
and
it
wasn't
about
I
want
shade,
trees
and
I
want
benches
and
I
want
to
look
at
artwork
and
I
want.
It
was
nothing
to
do
with
the
environment.
D
Sidewalks
are
a
public
good.
So
it
has
this
interesting
combination
of
individual
property
owner
responsibility,
but
also
the
city
has
a
responsibility
to
make
sure
our
sidewalks
has
a
Continuum
meet
the
Ada,
so
they
have
the
enforcement
ability,
but
not
necessarily
the
time
or
the
will
to
make
that
happen,
because
it
is
very
timely.
I
mean
time
intensive
to
use
our
code
enforcement
process
to
fix
sidewalks,
but
it
is
a
public
good
which
means
that
it's
something
as
a
public.
D
D
So
what
we
need
is
a
commit
commitment,
sorry,
a
commitment
from
both
the
city,
leadership,
city,
council
and
the
community.
To
make
this
happen,
and
it's
time
we
want
our
sidewalks
to
be
accessible.
It's
a
moral
imperative
that
we
build
the
future
that
we
would
like
to
have
and
and
do
more
than
just
the
minimum.
D
So
I
wanted
to
thank
the
city
council
for
taking
this
up
and
appointing
a
committee
and
for
the
all
of
the
work
that
people
have
done
and
the
city
staff
have
done,
and
you
were
you
received
copies
of
our
report
and
we're
hoping
if
you
have
comments
that
you'll
just
make
them
in
that
Google
Drive
draft
by
February
1st
the
voinovich
school.
Some
experts
at
the
wonderbridge
school
have
agreed
to
help
with
final
editing
and
formatting
we're
hoping
we'll
get
everything
finished
by
March.
D
So
you
have
a
draft
version
in
essence,
but
this
is
just
the
first
step.
There
really
is
a
long
way
to
go.
It's
not
like
this
is
done.
When
the
report
is
done,
it's
really
important
that
it
keep
going,
and
so
we
also
want
to
thank
all
of
our
survey.
Respondents.
We
heard
you
we
listened.
We
read
what
you
wrote.
We
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
your
voices
continue
and
I
personally
want
to
thank
the
committee.
D
It
was
an
amazing
group
of
people
to
work
with
and
we
all
had
different
skills
talents
approaches,
thoughts
and
how
we
wanted
to
do
this,
but
I
think.
As
a
group
we
really
came
together
so
Steve
Patterson,
mayor
of
Athens
I'd,
like
to
thank
you
for
your
participation
and
Rob
dillock
Neil
Ryan,
who
is
our
student
representative,
salve
spelledness
and
Stephanie
Hunter,
but
they
really
did
an
amazing
job,
so
I'm
so
proud
of
us
as
a
group.
D
C
I
I
Documents,
178
pages,
so
if
you're
nearing
the
completion
of
your
current
book,
this
would
be
a
good
next
one
to
pick
up
and
I'm
serious
about
that
and
there's
some
interesting
things
in
here.
A
very
interesting
things.
What
one
is
a
technical
question,
then
one's
a
comment
which
I
think
you'll:
have
it
I
hope
you
have
an
answer
for
well.
What
is
grinding
and
I
love
the
fact
Rob
that
you
talked
about
priorities
and
the
number
two
priority
is
city-wide
sidewalk
grinding.
Well,
what
is.
D
That
so
there's
a
company
that
actually
the
city
used
to
help,
make
the
sidewalk
safer
and
have
less
tripping
hazards.
When
there
are
two
sidewalks
that
join
like
this
they're,
not
level
a
company
can
actually
they
call
it
Precision
cutting,
but
many
people
don't
use
that
term
or
grinding.
They
use
tools
that
actually
lower
it.
If
you
go
on
Court
Street
you'll
see
a
lot
of
examples
of
it.
So
when
sidewalks
shift,
if
it's
more
than
half
an
inch
lip,
then
it
no
longer
is
accessible
for
many
people.
D
J
Solved
it
up.
Well,
it's
it's
Milling
is
another
term.
That's
used
where
they're
Milling
down
that
uneven
surface.
There
are
restrictions
on
the
height
of
the
heave,
though
toward
the
Integrity
of
the
concrete
underneath
it
it
can
only
Mill
so
much
off
to
correct
it.
But
we
did
we
hired
a
company
that
came
through
and
did
the
Lion's
Share
of
the
Uptown
area
to
to
make
it
88
accessible
it.
J
I
The
second
question
the
video
showed
the
intersection
of
court
and
Union
Street,
which
is
on
the
East
End
of
the
Fairly
recently
completed
Union
Street
approval
project,
which
I've
repeatedly
said
as
a
member
of
this
council
is
one
of
the
most
picturesque
parts
of
our
city
and
of
the
upcoming
project
can
look
as
good
we'll
be
in
good
shape.
That
said,
you
pointed
out
some
flaws
that
we
have
here
we're
about
to
embark
on
Washington,
Street
and
State
Street
and
Mill
Street
beautification
project.
I
D
We
have
a
few
recommendations
that
actually
address
some
of
what
you're
talking
about
some
of
it
has
to
do
with
with
making
sure
everyone
who
touches
the
project
and
has
some
responsibility
for
making
sure
the
Ada
is
met
is
named
and
that
they
get
the
training
they
need.
So
the
city
of
Columbus
now
requires
their
contractors
to
have
Ada
training
and
they
offer
free
training
once
a
year
in
the
spring
that
anyone
can
go
to.
D
They
also
require
in
their
contracts
for
there
to
be
a
an
ADA
person
named
within
the
construction
team.
So
if
the
city
has
an
ADA
concern,
they
have
somebody
who
is
responsible
for
making
sure
it's
done
right
and
our
city
staff
also
need
to
understand
the
Ada.
So
they
know
what
things
are
not
accessible
so
for
like
the
court
and
Union.
What
we're
now
recommend
recommending
is
that
they
think
about
crosswalks
not
having
bricks
but
using
paved
concrete.
D
F
So,
in
addition,
that
project
you
mentioned
the
Uptown
streetscape
Improvement
project
on
Washington
and
state
streets,
the
disabilities
commission's
accessibility
committee
that
Diane
and
I
both
serve
on
has
done.
We
call
Walk
and
Roll
audits
ourselves
gone
out
and
we
some
of
these
are
virtual
because
they
were
during
the
pandemic
and
we
cataloged
all
the
issues
that
we
saw
and
came
up
with
recommendations
and
pointed
out
the
details
to
the
city
engineers
and
provided
them
with
a
document
to
help
guide
them.
F
We
think
to
make
some
good
decisions
about
how
to
improve
the
accessibility
of
the
streetscape
as
it's
being
redesigned,
so
we're
hoping
that
they're
going
to
take
those
recommendations
and
incorporate
them
and
help
help
advise
them
on
the
project.
But
we
don't
know
for
sure
how
well
that's
going
to
go
or
exactly
how
it's
going
to
play
out.
But
we
have
taken
the
time
to
work
with
the
city
Engineers
already
to
try
and
make
sure
that
project
is
done
well,
because
it's
really
critical
that
it's
done
right.
C
K
Thank
you.
Yes,
I'd
like
to
thank
this
group
for
excellent
work
and
comment
that
it
is
very
consistent
with
what
we
see
in
our
Athens
comprehensive
plan
has
over
50
references
to
sidewalks,
but
specifically
in
the
history,
culture,
artistic
and
creative
Spirit
section
where
we
have
nine
goals.
One
of
them
pertains
to
sidewalks
and
improving
Uptown
sidewalks
is
it's
heading
with
particular
focus
on
accessibility
and
incorporate
local
history
during
the
design
process,
as
recommended
in
the
essence
of
Athens
plan?
K
There's
another
section
that
also
mentions
incorporating
more
art
onto
even
sidewalks,
so
I
guess.
My
question
is
whether
art
came
up
in
your
discussion
or
if
anyone
can
clarify
what
we
might
mean
by
focusing
on
incorporating
local
history
during
the
design
process,
when
trying
to
improve
uptown
sidewalks.
E
E
I
think
people
would
absolutely
be
looking
for
that
when
I
ran
a
pop-up
survey
Uptown.
That
was
a
lot
of
the
feedback
that
we
got.
Is
people
mentioning
beautification
and
adding
interest
to
the
sidewalks
I?
Think
if
sorry
I'm
not
wearing
right
now,
I
think
that
our
recommendations
would
dovetail
with
that
really
nicely
adding
more
historic
references
to
it.
L
You,
member
Reisner,
thanks
to
the
committee
for
this
excellent
work,
really
is
a
very
impressive
report.
I
apologize.
If
the
answer
to
my
question
is
in
the
report,
I've
looked
very
closely
at
the
priority
list
of
37
priorities
and
and
most
of
the
other
areas
of
the
report.
Do
you
have
all
have
a
recommendation
for
current
neighborhoods
that
currently
don't
have
sidewalks?
L
D
D
So
one
of
the
recommendations
is
that
we
actually
have
people
work
with
sidewalks
or
yeah
work
without
work
with
neighborhoods
to
figure
that
out
and
I
spoke
with
Rob
foell.
Who
is
the
director
for
the
MBA
program
at
OU
and
he
and
asked
him
about?
Would
the
MBA
students
be
interested
in
taking
this
on
as
a
project
to
develop
10-year
plans
with
each
neighborhood,
and
he
said
yes,
so
if,
if
there's
an
interest
in
pursuing
connection
connecting
with
neighborhoods,
they
are
really
interested
in
doing
that
and
they
can
help
with
things
like
communication.
D
They
can
help
with
explaining
around
the
Ada
they
can
help
with
trying
to
identify
like
which
side
of
the
street.
If
we
do
one
side
which
one
should
it
be,
if
we,
if
we
start
out
here,
then
where
would
we
go?
How
much
would
it
cost
so
figure
out
some
of
those
kinds
of
things
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
really
exciting
project
for
the
students
too.
D
So
so
we
do
have
an
idea
that
neighborhoods
in
themselves
really
are
important
and
they
they
do
each
have
their
own
name,
their
own
feel
and
the
survey
comments.
Some
people
said
you
know,
we
don't
want
any,
and
some
people
said
we
don't
have
any
but
we'd
like
them,
but
a
lot
of
them
also
talked
about
traffic
coming.
L
You
so
you
answered
part
of
one
of
my
other
questions
too,
which
is
the
idea
of
having
sidewalks
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
It's
not
the
committee's
recommendation
that
that
be
sort
of
I
mean
I
saw
that
Madison.
It
was
recommended
for
one
side
of
the
street
West
State
Street
going
past
the
Innovation
Center
it
was.
It
was
recommended
to
add
on
the
North
side,
so
I
guess
it's
dependent
on
all
the
situations.
D
Of
I
think
Case
by
case
initially,
we
initially
every
sidewalk
on
one
side
of
the
street
every
place
on
one
side
of
the
street
should
have
them.
So
that's
an
initial,
that's
not
that's
like
meeting
Ada
minimums
is
having
a
sidewalk
on
one
side
of
the
street,
but
if
we
want
to
make
it
this
the
community
we
want,
then
we
probably
would
have
sidewalks
on
two
sides
of
the
street.
Okay.
B
B
J
Well,
back
to
Ms
bovia's
question
of
me:
if
I
would
like
to
say
anything,
I
I
have
to
admit
the
Lion's
Share
of
everything
that
came
out
of
this
report
really
came
from
the
team
that
you
pulled
together.
You
know
I
served
in
kind
of
an
A
administrative
capacity,
and,
talking
about
you,
know
the
ordinances.
The
way
things
work
at
this
point
in
time.
J
B
N
My
name
is
Natalie
Whitman
and
I
live
at
38
Fairview
Avenue
I
was
very
fortunate
to
grow
up
in
Athens
and
I
left
and
learned
a
lot
of
different
things
about
the
world
and
moved
back
here
a
little
over
10
years
ago
and
have
chosen.
This
is
my
home
as
an
adult
I
work
at
Ohio,
University
and
I've
made
a
lot
of
deliberate
choices
to
have
a
high
quality
of
life
day
to
day,
and
one
of
the
most
impactful
for
me
was
to
get
rid
of
my
driving
commute.
N
So
I
planned
out
where
I
wanted
to
live
in
this
city
and
waited
till
the
right
house
came
along
so
that
I
could
have
that
walking,
commute
and
so
I
could
also
support.
Local
businesses
on
foot
I
walked
here
tonight
and
it
was
lovely,
but
I've
also
had
a
lot
of
walks
that
were
not
lovely,
not
feeling
safe
and
I
have
fallen
myself
on
North
Lancaster,
on
2nd
Street
and
on
State
Street
in
snow
and
poor
weather
and
bad
judgment
moments.
N
Athens
is
a
wonderful
place
to
live,
of
course,
and
but
it's
not
perfect,
and
we
can
do
a
lot
to
make
it
better
and
I
think
that
this
is
one
of
the
best
opportunities
for
us
to
do
that,
to
take
a
step
forward
and
to
make
choices
that
are
good
for
our
community
and
we'll
draw
more
people
to
Athens
to
visit,
but
also
to
live
here.
I'm
100
willing
to
support
this
initiative
through
something
like
a
tax
levy
or
a
cost
sharing
program.
N
I
think
that
initiatives
like
this
that
promote
the
livability
in
our
city
need
Community
contributions
of
ideas
and
of
time
and
of
money,
because
change
doesn't
happen
magically
so
I
hope.
The
council
feels
the
same
way
that
I
do,
which
is
that
this
initiative
is
in
the
best
interest
of
Athens
future
and
the
future
of
its
citizens,
because
I
think
that
the
pedestrians
really
can
create
a
lot
of
impact
in
a
town.
N
I
always
think
about
how
many
people
come
out
for
the
Court
Street
events
when
the
streets
shut
down
and
it's
all
pedestrians
and
I
think
about
how
amazing
that
economic
impact
is
and
how
more
opportunities
like
that
can
influence
the
culture
of
town
and
make
it
a
more
welcome
place
for
everyone,
as
well.
As
you
know,
helping
our
businesses
through
the
slow
months,
so
I'm
excited
to
see
how
great
Athens
can
be
in
the
future
and
I'm
definitely
willing
to
invest
my
taxes
and
my
time
in
this
project
and
other
projects
like
this.
B
G
B
G
You
and
I
just
want
to
thank
this
committee
and
I
have
been
one
of
those
people
who've
been
running
around
and
around
on
the
sidewalks
trying
to
find
a
curb
cut.
I
can
use
it's
not
dangerous,
so
whatever
you
can
do
to
make
this
possible
for
Athens,
starting
with
court
and
Union
streets
and
wherever
else
we'd
go
just
to
make
it
right
to
put
the
money
behind
it,
that
we
can
do
it
right
for
the
city
and
for
the
people.
G
You
still
seen
me
trying
to
go
here
and
there
no
curb
cut
but
I
think
it's
getting
better
if
I'm
not
mistaken
on
that
end
of
town,
but
just
whatever
you
can
do,
I
encourage
you
just
make
it
happen
for
this
City
And
for
those
of
us
who
in
wheelchairs
who
have
carriages
who
are
walking,
who
wear
high
heels,
get
stuck
in
the
holes
and
all
those
kinds
of
things.
So
thank
you
for
taking
us
up,
really
appreciate
it
and
look
forward
to
something
happening
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
O
Good
evening
my
name
is
Amy:
delac
I
live
at
124,
Morris
Avenue,
full
disclosure,
I
am
married
to
one
of
the
committee
members
and
what
I
really
wanted
to
add
to
the
conversation
is
how
important
this
is
from
a
sustainability
perspective.
I'm,
the
chair
of
the
environment
and
sustainability.
Commission
councilman
cross
sits
on
that
committee
as
well,
and
we
have
a
a
plan
with
a
number
of
goals
for
20
30
our
hours
at
the
sustainability
plan
and
as
good
as
we're
doing
on
people
walking
to
work.
O
You
said
what
about
38
39,
34
34.9,
our
goal
for
2030
is
to
have
70
of
our
community
routinely
walking
or
bike
riding
on
their
daily
errands
and
their
work
commute.
So
that's
a
huge.
That's
that's
twice
the
percentage.
That's
a
huge
number
I,
don't
know
if
we'll
make
it,
but
one
of
the
ways
that
we
can
try
to
make
it
is
by
improving
this
infrastructure.
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
the
city
recently
had
a
greenhouse
gas
inventory
completed,
that
is
on
the
city's
website,
so
you
can
all
refer
to
it.
O
We
as
a
city
are
doing
very
well
on
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
general,
but
that's
a
large
part
because
of
our
electricity
aggregation
program
and
our
renewable
electricity
portion,
our
transportation,
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
I
don't
have
to
remind
the
community
that
we
are
in
a
climate
crisis
and
we
need
to
do
everything
to
to
mitigate
that
crisis.
Transportation
accounts
for
57
of
the
city's
greenhouse
gas
emissions
overall
and
77
percent
of
the
residential
sectors,
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
O
The
best
way
to
bring
that
down
you
know
one
way
is-
is
to
have
electric
vehicles,
but
we're
not
going
to
bring
that
number
down
substantially
unless
a
lot
more
people
are
walking
and
biking
and
feel
safe
and
comfortable
doing
so
so
really
hope.
The
council
and
the
city
will
take
these
recommendations
into
account.
The
the
committee
has
done
an
excellent
job.
Thank
you.
P
Everyone
Matlock
I,
live
at
35,
Morris,
Avenue
and
every
day,
I
walk
to
and
from
work,
which
is
about
a
mile.
So
I
have
a
lot
of
experience
with
the
sidewalks
of
Athens.
I
know
what
their
strengths
are.
I
know
where
they
let
you
down,
sometimes
literally
let
you
down,
but
my
eyes
were
opened
a
few
years
ago,
when
my
elderly
mother
moved
to
Athens,
she
was
wheelchair,
bound
I
spent
seven
years
pushing
her
and
her
wheelchair
around
the
streets
of
Athens.
P
That
was
an
eye-opening
experience.
Okay,
stretches
of
straight
and
sidewalk
that
looked
pretty
clear
and
straight
and
easy
turned
out
to
be
nothing
like.
Okay,
you
have
different
pavement
textures,
you
have
an
enormous
drop
off
with
a
curve.
You
have
very
limited
opportunity
to
get
on
and
off
the
sidewalk.
There
are
little
obstacles
everywhere,
sometimes
in
desperation
not
very
often,
but
occasionally
I
had
to
move
her
out
into
the
lane
of
moving
traffic
just
to
get
down
the
street.
That's
crazy!
No
one
should
have
to
do
that
on
foot
or
in
a
wheelchair.
P
Q
My
name
is
Nat
Flanagan
and
I
live
at
10,
Ford
Street,
which
is
adjacent
to
the
Fort
Street
Fairview
Avenue,
stairs
going
up
and
down
those
stairs
are
part
of
my
daily
routine.
Whether
it's
to
go.
Do
my
laundry
because
I
live
in
a
rental
unit
to
go,
buy,
groceries
to
go,
get
lunch
and
when
I
was
in
school
and
hopefully
we'll
be
in
school
again
to
go
to
class.
Q
These
stairs
generally
are
in
disrepair.
They
are
falling
apart.
There's
large
gaps
in
between
slabs
of
them.
They
are
not
level
on
the
stairs
themselves
and
they're
hard
to
get
around
on
when
my
legs
are
working.
Just
fine
on
December
1st
this
past
year,
I
became
very
aware
of
how
hard
it
could
be
when
your
legs
are
not
working.
Q
Just
fine
when
I
was
struck
by
a
car
in
the
city
of
Chicago,
I
returned
to
Athens
for
the
holiday
season
to
rest
and
moving
around
the
city
on
crutches
was
probably
one
of
the
more
difficult
experiences
of
my
life
in
terms
of
getting
around
the
sidewalks,
not
just
on
the
stairs
by
my
house.
Aren't
level
they're
not
level
all
the
way
through
Court,
Street
and
even
on
parts
of
Stimson,
and
it
is
very,
very
difficult
to
get
a
again.
R
Okay,
my
name
is
Jackson
sawai
I
live
at
81,
Grosvenor
and
I
before
moving
to
Athens
I
lived
in
California
in
a
neighborhood
that
actually
had
a
fair
amount
of
gun
violence,
and
this
is
maybe
a
dubious
comparison
to
make.
But
when
I
walked
down,
my
street
here
in
Athens
pushing
a
stroller
with
my
my
children
in
it
I
actually
I
literally
look
over
my
shoulder
constantly
to
see
if
a
car
is
going
to
come
run
us
over,
because
the
street
is
so
narrow
and
the
sidewalks
are
inaccessible
to
strollers.
R
That
I
I,
don't
know
at
any
given
moment
if
I'm
about
to
be
run
over
by
a
car
and
I.
Actually,
this
is
a
strange
feeling.
I
had
the
other
night
of,
like
wow
I,
feel
more
nervous
walking
around
Athens
than
the
neighborhood
I
used
to
live
in
where
people
were
getting
shot
and
I.
Don't
know.
That's
like
it's
kind
of
an
extreme
example,
but
it's
a
feeling.
I
have
like
I,
actually
fear
walking
down
the
street
with
my
kids,
because
I
can't
get
out
of
the
way
unless
I'm
constantly.
R
Looking
over
my
shoulder,
it's
just
a
bizarre
feeling.
I
feel
a
little
like
weird,
even
bringing
it
up,
because
gun
violence
is
a
whole
thing
in
its
own
right,
but
I
thought
it
was
worth
expressing
here
that,
like
it's,
it's
weird,
it's
like
I
I
fear
walking
down
the
street
my
own
street,
so
I
I
support
pretty
much
anything
to
to
help
make
this
better.
H
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna,
since
I
was
a
Committee
Member
there.
So
now,
as
a
city
council,
member
I
just
want
to
say
how
amazing
this
committee
was
because
we're
not
quite
done
yet
and
what
amazing
leadership
that
Diane
Bouvier
gave
us,
and
we
were
so
pleased
that
we
had
a
chance
to
add
Stephanie
as
a
non-official
Committee
Member,
who
has
now
become
our
incredible
sidewalk
expert.
So
it
was
a
wonderful
experience
working
with
all
of
you
and
thank
you
very
much.
So,
let's
move
on
and
make
it
happen
right.
C
S
Request
an
appropriation
of
seventy
thousand
dollars
to
expand
the
sidewalk
Improvement
project
under
phase
one.
We
had
an
alternate
bid
with
the
original,
the
original
bid
to
expand
the
work
onto
Schaefer
Street,
but
at
the
time
we
had
not
appropriate
the
money
to
fund
it.
The
increase
of
seventy
thousand
will
allow
us
to
award
the
alternate
bid
and
continue
the
sidewalk
improvements
from
West
Washington
over
onto
Shafer
street.
So
that's
what
the
increase
is
for.
We've
got
a.
We
got
a
pretty
good
bid.
It's
a
good
price.
C
S
J
I
do
I,
do
you
know
and
I
I
often
think
of
former
council
member
area,
this
medley,
because
the
early
conversations
about
what
you
just
heard
from
the
ad
hoc
committee
on
sidewalks
was
the
condition
of
Shaffer.
So
to
add,
this
I
think
is,
is
being
responsible,
I
think
it's
also
going
to
make
correct
a
lot
of
sidewalk,
that's
in
very
poor
condition
due
to
the
materials
that
it's
made
from.
F
F
One
thing
to
note
from
the
report
we
just
we
just
gave
you
recently-
is
that
the
data
really
shows
the
west
side
has
some
of
the
worst
sidewalks
in
the
city,
and
this
is
one
of
the
key
areas
that
really
needs
improving
to
help
get
folks
enable
folks
in
that
neighborhood
to
be
able
to
get
to
the
grocery
store.
For
example,
that's
when
I
think
one
of
the
key
things,
but
also
the
hospital
medical
services,
the
city
county
health
department.
Many
amenities
are
something
they
can't
really
get
to.
Now.
F
T
I
love
that
this
is
something
that's
happening.
I
always
get
really
excited
as
a
as
a
long-standing
member
of
the
service
industry.
I
know
a
huge
number
of
the
service
industry.
Folks
in
Athens,
live
on
the
west
side
and
a
large
percentage
of
them
walk
to
work
Uptown
and
that
road
in
particular
right
there
that
sidewalk
on
Schaefer
is
treacherous
to
say
the
least.
It's
it's
less
of
a
sidewalk
and
more
of
a
I,
don't
know
a
rolling
River
of
brick.
T
B
B
K
Thank
you,
president
nicely
we'll
begin
our
city
and
Safety
Services
committee
meeting
with
five
items
on
our
agenda
this
evening.
First
item
pertains
to
our
water
treatment,
plant
salt
storage,
Rifts
lab
and
beam
replacement
project
number
354,
and
this
pertains
to
a
cost
increase.
We
need
to
increase
the
appropriation
by
sixty
thousand
to
the
water
fund
for
piping
removal
and
replacement
and
interior
concrete
repair,
and
this
will
involve
updating
amending
an
ordinance,
126
22
to
increase
the
authorized
expenditure
in
the
water
fund
from
365
000
to
425
000..
S
Materials
and
labor,
primarily,
we
are
going
to
self-perform,
we've
already
started
self-performing
a
good
portion
of
it
to
bring
the
costs
down.
This
was
discovered
so
we're
replacing
the
the
roof
of
the
the
salt
pit,
and
to
do
that,
you
have
to
remove
the
salt
and
prepare
the
space
and
when
we
were
doing
that,
we
discovered
an
issue
with
one
of
the
the
pipes
down
at
the
bottom
of
the
salt
pit.
S
So
it
was
a
discovery
that
we're
mandated
to
to
replace
it's,
not
something
that
we
have
the
option
to
do
at
some
other
point.
This
would
be
the
lowest
cost
Point
as
well.
We
don't
want
to
put
the
roof
on
and
then
take
the
roof
off
to
to
get
to
it.
This
is
our
best
chance
to
to
fix
everything
down
in
the
pit.
While
we
have
to
have
the
opportunity
I.
K
Questions
from
any
other
committee
members,
other
council
members,
City
Administration
audience
all
right.
We'll
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item
a
storm
sinkhole
at
30
crin
drive
a
line
replacement.
So
this
is
due
to
a
sewer
line
drain
that
has
collapsed
and
must
be
replaced
and
it's
created
a
sinkhole.
So
that's
obviously
an
issue
that
we
need
to
pay
some
quick
attention
to,
and
it's
going
to
be
estimated
at
a
cost
of
one
hundred
thousand
we'll
need
to
pull
from
our.
Let's
see.
K
M
U
S
No
very
very
deep,
so
this
this
storm
line
connects
current
and
Second
Street,
so
imagine
get
to
the
bottom
of
Second
Street
and
then
it
has
to
go
from
Curran
over
the
hill
and
down
further.
So
it's
very,
very
deep
and
just
over
time
that
section
collapsed
and
probably
one
of
the
deepest
parts
that
you
can
get
to
so
unfortunately,
you
know.
Typically
we
could.
We
could
do
that
work
ourselves,
we're
going
to
do
a
portion
of
the
Excavating,
but
it
is
so
deep.
J
Just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
councilman
reisner's
question.
You
know,
as
I've
been
briefed.
What
has
failed
is
a
21-inch
line,
but
that
21
inch
line
fed
into
a
12
inch
line
that
feeds
into
a
24
inch
line.
So
So.
The
plan
is
to
replace
the
whole
thing,
with
a
24
inch
line
as
I
understand
it
so
and
Deputy
service
safety
director,
chicky,
is
spot
on
and
that
this
is
It's
deep,
since
it
runs
down
that
Hill
no
Safety
First.
K
T
S
My
understanding
is,
it's
it's
more
than
25
feet
geez
and
you
have
to
to
think
that
the
equipment
that's
coming
in
and
out
of
that,
that
lot
is.
Is
there
heavier
equipment?
That's
you
know,
driving
through
there
on
a
regular
basis.
So
it
you
know
it's
a
lot
of
wear
and
tear
very
deep
down
that
over
time,
just
up
just
failed.
K
I
And
this
will
be
a
quick
preview.
This
was
apologize.
This
wasn't
supposed
to
be
on
tonight's
agenda,
but,
like
all
good
Council
people,
we
got
our
items
to
to
the
clerk
of
council
and
didn't
get
back
with
her
quick
enough
to
get
them
removed
from
the
from
the
agenda
so
by
law.
We
do
need
to
at
least
briefly
touch
on
these
and
I
will
go
very
very
quickly.
I
I've
been
working
with
a
group
called
Athens
rethinks
plastics
for
several
months
now
about
addressing
the
single-use
plastic
problem
now
in
this
country,
but
in
the
world,
and
they
will
be
coming
they've
been
working
on
this
for
years.
In
fact,
I
have
been
working
on
in
conjunction
with
the
Sierra
Club
and
secured
a
grant
from
that
organization.
This
will
be
coming
before
Council
on
February
13th,
which
is
a
committee
meeting.
I've
worked
with
the
law
director
to
draft
a
a
draft
ordinance.
I
We've
also
worked
with
the
the
auditor,
who
provides
some
valuable
information
in
the
last
couple
days
about
that,
so
it
is
in
draft
form,
ready
to
go
and
we'll
be
for
Council
before
you
show
up
that
evening.
The
13th
so
you'll
have
time
to
review
it.
The
Athens
plastic
group
will
be
making
a
presentation
that
evening
and
that
will
have
an
opportunity
to
discuss
it.
The
second
item
remember
McCary
and
I
met
with
the
mayor
a
couple
Fridays
ago.
It
had
a
very,
very
productive
meeting,
and
some
good
coffee
I
must
admit.
I
I
appreciate
that
and
one
of
the
items
was
the
farmer's
market.
Our
current
code
reads
and
I'm
going
to
read
one
sentence:
the
city
of
Athens
shall
set
aside
a
portion
of
the
East
State
Street
recreation
center
for
the
express
purpose
of
maintaining
an
area
for
persons
to
sell
agricultural
products
grown
by
themselves.
I
I'll
be
very
clear:
we're
not
doing
anything
to
the
farmers
market.
What
we
want
to
do
is
something
to
code
that
brings
code
and
compliance.
What
with
it,
what
with
what
is
actually
happening
and
being
sold
at
the
market,
not
only
food
products,
but
also
what
is
sold
there
through
the
Athens
Art
Guild
I've
contacted
the
the
manager
of
the
market
they're
going
to
help
us
draft
that
part
of
it.
It's
a
very
probably
one
of
the
shortest
ordinances
in
our
book
of
ordinances.
I
To
draft
this,
to
make
it
clear,
so
we
simply
bring
the
code
in
line
with
what
is
happening
at
the
market.
Very,
very
simple:
that's
on
the
farmer's
market!
So
again,
I'll,
say
nothing's
going
to
happen
to
the
farmers
market,
we're
just
going
to
change
the
code
to
make
it
reflect
what
happens
down
there.
H
I
So
the
city
chartered
the
farmers
market
Association
as
caretaker
and
regulator
of
this
area
Okay,
so
the
market
does
has
it
does
have
its
rules
and
my
brain
in
the
charter.
I
assume
and
the
law
director
is
not
here.
Kathy,
I
guess
to
me:
it's
pretty
obvious
that
and
as
caretaker
and
regulator
of
this
area,
so
they
have
rules
that
they
enforce
down
there,
but
I
will
bring
that
up
with
the
and
if
you'd
like
I
can
ask
I
see
the
mayor
saying:
maybe
we
should
confer
Ence
okay,
yes,.
J
V
L
Absolutely
my
question
is
just:
how
much
do
we
and
I
think
this
is
what
you're
talking
about?
How
much
do
we
need
to
put
into
the
ordinance
about
what
is
allowed
and
how
much
do
we
need
to
say
the
farmer's
market
is
responsible
for
deciding
what's
allowed
right?
That's
what
we're
getting
at!
Thank
you.
Yes,.
I
We
will
talk
about
this
on
the
13th
of
which
time
we
can
delve
deeper
in
this,
but
in
the
interim,
when
my
when
I
have
a
conversation
with
the
well
I'll,
actually
bring
that
up.
The
third
item:
pickling
tennis
ball
quartz
possible
additional
funding
at
this
point
in
time
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
Mr
Mayor,
it's
my
understanding.
This
is
going
to
go
back
to
bid
which
is
an
administrative
function,
and
would
you
want
to
describe
it
or
you
want
me
to
I
mean
I.
J
Can't
I
can't
and
I
I
think
I
misspoke
when
we
met
the
last
time,
but
but
what
we
will
go
back
out
to
bid
with
is
we're
going
to
increase
the
amount
for
that
project.
I
believe
it's,
the
engineer's
bid
will
be
450
000
dollars,
which
is
a
significant
increase,
and
then
it
also
you
know,
like
any
other
bid
in
the
city.
What's
permissible
is
for
us
to
if
necessary.
You
know,
go
ten
percent
above
that,
depending
on
the
bids
that
come
in.
J
I
I
S
I
K
L
L
Before
but
it
does,
it
does
sound
like
pickleball
and
Tennis
Courts
tonight
is
the
night
that
this
has
been
officially
presented
at
committee.
So
my
question
and
I
realize
we're
not
quite
there
yet.
But
my
head
is
thinking
about
a
half.
A
million
dollars
is
what
we're
talking
about
for
pickleball
and
Tennis.
Courts
are
those
two
things
separated
in
the
in
the
document?
Do
we
know
how
much
we're
spending
on
pickleball
and
how
much
we're
spending
on
tennis
courts
or
are
we
just?
L
Are
we
lumping
these
together
as
one
big
because
they're
two
separate
locations
right,
I'm,
just
curious,
because
we've
been
talking
about
pickleball
for
a
long
time,
it
seems
like
I
think
originally
we
were
talking
about
200
about
250
000.
This
is
getting
bigger
and
bigger,
and
bigger
and
I
want
to
wrap
my
head
around.
You
know
where,
where
all
this
money
is
going
to.
S
So
it's
a
it's:
it's
One
Singular
lump
sum
project
the
we're
not
going
to
perform
one
without
the
other
they're
they're.
It's
a
with
that.
You
know
our
our
plans
to
bring
some
of
that
cost
down
from
the
estimate
is
to
this
directly
by
the
asphalt
for
the
for
the
project,
as
opposed
to
including
that
in
the
project
price
and
then
paying
for
the
overhead
and
things
like
that
related
to
the
asphalt.
A
S
L
S
It
means
based
on
the
the
quantity
needed
we
contact
the
plant
directly,
we
direct
purchase
the
the
asphalt
from
the
plant.
The
asphalt
shows
up
and
is
is
the
labor
portion
is,
you
know,
is
put
in
and
installed
by
the
by
the
contractor,
but
we're
we're
paying
for
the
the
cost
directly
to
the
to
the
plant
for
the
asphalt.
I
I
Why
I
could
go
on
and
on
and
on
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there
aren't
other
places
that
we
could
investigate,
and
one
that
came
up
today
was
over
there
by
the
fire
station,
because
we
own
that
land
now
well
as
soon
as
these
documents
inside,
we
will
own
that
land
and
pickleball
and
tennis
courts
will
not
take
up
a
significant
amount
of
Green
Space
and
the
fact
that
we
paint
them
green.
We
could
call
the
Green
Space.
S
J
J
I
I
can
say
that
if
we
start
exploring
alternative
locations
for
this,
that's
going
to
likely
scrub
anything
being
built
this
year
and
having
to
look
at
the
surface
condition
the
soils,
the
area
and
so
on
and
so
forth
is
could
could
significantly
delay.
You
know
the
build
out
for
the
pickleball,
with
tennis
ball.
Of
course,.
K
Amir
I
would
like
to
kind
of
contextualize
the
this
project
with
pickleball
and
Tennis
Courts,
with
other
priorities
of
Arts
Parks
and
Recreation
in
general,
since
I've
joined,
Council,
I've
primarily
heard
about
need
for
increased
resources
for
the
swimming
pool
and
then
I
feel
like
pickleball's
kind
of
been
after
that.
But
I
know
that
there
are
many
different
places.
We
could
enhance
our
resources
and
our
facilities,
but
does
this
cost
to
increase
change
anything
in
terms
of
its
priority
level?
J
I
do
I
do
to
answer
your
question.
I
feel
you
know
that
the
need
for
good
quality,
pickleball
and
tennis
ball
courts
has
been
heard
and
I
agree
and
I
think
that
we
should
continue
down
this
path.
You
know
to
your
point:
I
look
at
places
like
Camp
Rutan
on
the
south
side
of
the
city,
significant,
you
know,
you
know
need
for
repairs
down.
There
is
priority.
J
You
know,
I
would
defer
to
Catherine
Ann
Jordan,
the
director
of
Arts
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
the
rec
Advisory
Board
as
to
what
any
movement
up
and
down
the
priorities.
Look
like
moving
forward,
but
you
know
I
always
say
this
and
it's
true.
We
have
750
Acres
of
recreational
lands
in
the
city
of
Athens
granted,
a
lot
of
that
is
primitive
and,
and
which
is
great.
It
lends
itself
to
our
tree
canopy,
which
is
what
drives
down
or
drives
up
our
carbon
sequestration.
J
We've
made
great
strides
and
at
increasing
better
football
pitches
soccer
fields
we,
you
know,
but
that's
a
long
answer
to
your
short
question,
but
you
know
the
the
the
the
what
we're
talking
about
for
the
pickleball
and
tennis
ball.
Courts
I
think
is
appropriate
for
us
having
something
that
will
be
high
quality
and
we'll
draw
people
here
to
play.
Pickleball
and
tennis
in
the
future.
I
To
answer
your
question:
if
you'll
go
back
to
the
December,
say
the
exact
date
to
save
the
time
of
look
and
if
you'll
go
back
to
the
December
15th
Parks
and
Recreation
Recreation
Advisory
Board
video,
it's
very
clear,
the
pickleball
was
the
number
one
priority
of
The
Advisory
Board.
You
can
watch
it
right
in
the
video
I
mean
it's
right.
There
I
mean
they
were
emphatic
and
that's
at
the
top
of
the
list.
K
F
On
Glock
live
on
Morris
Avenue
here
in
the
city,
I'm
just
a
little
confused,
because
what
I
guess
I've
been
hearing
things
over
the
years
and
now
it
all
seems
to
have
changed,
for
example,
related
to
this
project,
for
example,
the
talk
was
that
the
tennis
courts
were
going
to
be
vacated
new
courts
built
somewhere
else
and
that
the
space
was
going
to
be
used
for
auxiliary
parking
for
the
farmers
market.
Is
that
idea
thrown
out
then,
and
is
that
something
that's
going
to
communicate
into
the
Farmers
Market?
F
Has
anybody
looked
at
what
the
parking
Situation's
been?
We've
only
had
the
market
there
in
the
winter,
though
so
do
we
know
what
the
capacity
issues
are,
but
you're
looking
at
me
confused,
like
you've,
never
heard
this
before,
but
that's
what
I
was
hearing
for
years,
and
so
we've
we've
not
looked
at
this
auxiliary
parking
issue.
It's
not
it's
something!
That's
not
the
city's
not
considering
doing
anymore.
I
The
pickleball
courts
would
go
adjacent
to
the
roller
rink,
in
other
words,
in
a
different
spot
right,
nothing
yeah,
two
different
spots
through
the
roller
rink
there
you
know:
okay,
yeah,
nothing
would
be
going
on
the
existing
tennis
courts.
That
would
still
be
open
and
you
are
absolutely
right
when
the
discussion
is
the
farmers
market
about
moving
down
that
that
space
would
be
used
for
something
one
time
they
talked
about.
I
F
I
Years
and
it
hasn't
gone
anywhere,
and
the
thought
was
that
gives
us
a
substantial
sub
base
on
which
to
put
quartz.
So
that
was
the
leading
reason
to
put
that
there.
Again,
though,
my
concern
is
even
that
I
have
pictures.
I
can
show
you
from
2018,
but
the
water's
this
deep
yeah.
So
you
have
nothing
on
the
existing.
F
S
It's
an
adjustment
of
the
space
back
there,
so
in
the
in
the
one
corner
we
have
what's
a
Gaga
pit,
which
is
kids
play
it's
a
it's
a
small
area.
The
idea
would
be
where
that
generally
is,
is
to
expand
that
North
South
a
bit
and
then
reconfigure
the
roller
hockey
area.
Currently,
we
kind
of
just
I'm
gonna
slapped
it
in
there
because
it
was,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
space
to
to
to
reuse
that
space
in
a
more
efficient
manner.
Essentially,
so
we.
V
L
Okay,
I
appreciate
that
information
and
I'll
just
leave
with
this,
which
is
that
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
been
done
on
this
I
am
very
hopeful
that
the
tennis
and
pickleball
Community
also
appreciates
the
work.
That's
been
done
when
the
city
I
know
that
the
soccer
Community
would
be
very
pleased
with
a
half
a
million
dollars
being
put
into
soccer
facilities,
so
I'm
just
hopeful
that
the
pickleball
and
tennis
community,
which
I
would
love
to
join,
is
very
happy
with
this.
Thank
you.
O
Us
again
and
councilman
Swank
I
want
to
council
member
I
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
up
the
plastic
bag
issue.
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
presence
under
the
Christmas
tree,
but
it
is
another
line
item
in
our
sustainability
plan.
It
actually
doesn't
have
any
metrics
associated
with
it.
It
just
says
we
should
reduce
our
single-use
plastic
bag
use
and
so,
if
you're,
if
you're
interested
at
all
in
feedback
from
the
environment
and
sustainability,
commission
or
we'd
be
happy
to
probably
do
you
know,
vote
on
a
resolution.
O
I
I
O
K
U
Thank
you,
president
nicely.
We
have
just
one
item
on
the
agenda
for
Planning
and
Development
this
evening,
and
that
is
the
2023
Professional
Services
contract
for
planning,
project
management,
Economic,
Development,
advocacy
and
government
relations
services
that
our
city
Administration
would
like
to
have
council's
approval
to
enter
into
a
contract
for
all
of
those
things
with
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
and,
as
members
of
council
I
believe,
are
well
aware.
U
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
has
been
working
for
and
with
the
city
for
some
time
and
has
been
very
helpful
in
work
towards
procuring
funding
for
Armory
project,
and
they
will
work
extensively
on
that
project,
especially
if
our
Appalachian
communities,
Grant
application,
is
successful,
because
that
will
give
us
funding
to
work
on
that
project,
and
so
it
would
be
very
beneficial
to
have
the
services
of
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
to
continue
with
us
in
that
work.
But
they
will
also
collaborate
with
the
city
on
a
lot
of
other
planning.
U
Project
management,
development
and
one
of
their
Specialties
is
a
government
relations
services
and
the
because
the
contract
will
be
for
an
amount
of
greater
than
50
000.
We
need
our
action
to
approve
this,
and
the
request
is
for
a
contract
amount
of
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
per
month,
which
would
be
ninety
thousand
dollars
for
the
year.
Have
I
outlined
the
pertinent
information.
J
J
I
I'd
also
like
to
mention
the
council
that
the
contracts
that
we
have
had
we
we
kept
extending
month
after
month,
which
ultimately
led
to
or
getting
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
state
capital
budget
which,
if
you
think
about
it,
is
a
return
on
investment
for
every
dollar
invested
into
having
them
help
us.
It
was
a
return
of
a
little
bit
more
than
fourteen
dollars.
So
there's,
in
my
opinion,
a
lot
of
value
to
continue
to
work
with
Sunday
Creek
Horizons,
especially
as
their
team
continues
to
to
grow.
U
Yeah
and
am
I
correct
that
this
would
be
sort
of
a
we
start
fresh
with
a
new
contract.
It's
not
an
extension
of
previous
and
therefore
Council
would
look
for
specifications
in
that
contract
in
terms
of
the
work
details
which
we
know
can
change
depending
on
what
funding
is
awarded,
but
yeah,
some
more
more
specifics
as
to
what
we
hope
to
gain
through
this
partnership.
Are
there
questions
from
the
committee?
Yes,
members
be
on.
H
J
Member
asked
the
question
about:
where
are
we
at
with
the
Armory
I
would
say
that
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
was
invaluable
in
US,
putting
together
a
Appalachian
community's
Grant
implementation
Grant
so
through
the
Appalachian
communities
funding?
That
is
the
500
million
dollars
that
the
governor
has
set
aside
from
their
arpa
share
for
the
Appalachian
counties.
J
We
were
able
to
through
Sunday
Creek
Horizon's
partner
with
the
Coshocton
collaborative,
which
is
a
co-work
share,
workspace
project
up
in
Coshocton
the
builders
Club
in
Somerset,
as
well
as
two
separate,
a
co-work
space
and
a
theater,
the
Logan
theater
in
Logan
in
Hocking
County.
So
we
likely
will
not
hear
back
on
that
request
that
we've
The
Proposal
we
put
forward
until.
J
J
I
still
feel
that
our
proposal
is
strong
because
it
shows
wide
diversity
of
locations
throughout
Appalachian
Ohio,
but
I'm.
A
realist
so
just
know
that
it's
it
we'll
see
how
it
goes.
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you,
mayor,
you're.
Welcome,
because
I
don't
want
anybody
to
think.
Oh
yay,
we've
got
this.
No,
it's
it's
going
to
be
I
think
highly
competitive,
but
we
really
made
a
strong
case
and
sunnycreek
Horizons
put
together
an
outstanding
prospectus
and
proposal
that
went
to
the
governor
or
that
went
to
Goa
as
well
as
odod.
U
Thank
you
and
just
to
add
on
to
that.
In
my
other
job,
I
work
for
Hopewell,
Health,
Centers
and
I
contributed
to
their
Grant
application
for
funding.
Through
the
same
so
there
there
are
many
applicants
and
many
worthwhile
projects,
but
just
have
to
wait
and
see
how
how
the
rubric
works
out
member
McCary.
K
Thank
you,
I
was
wondering
to
what
extent
the
contract
will
specify
specific
projects
that
are
going
to
be
worked
on
by
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
in
the
course
of
that
year.
So,
for
instance,
will
it
be
Armory
and
advocate
for
this
and
do
this
with
our
academic
development
plan,
which
I
know
are
interrelated,
but
will
we
see
some
even
flexibility
in
case
projects
are
added
or
changed
so
wondering
what
the
contract
will
say?
Yeah.
S
So
there's
three
parts
in
my
mind
that
we're
focusing
on
the
first
is
coordination.
You
know,
if
we're
successful
the
Appalachian
communities
Grant,
there's
a
high
level
coordination
that
has
to
happen
that
we
need
typically
that
type
of
that
type
of
work.
We
we
self-perform
a
lot
of
that
in
this
case,
without
having
our
city
planner,
available,
100
percent,
something
that
we
we
just
need.
A
lot
of
extra
help
with
so
that's
kind
of
the
part,
too,
is
some
of
the
responsibilities
that
typically
we
would.
S
We
would
self-perform
we're
just
not
able
to
to
do
that
full
capacity,
so
they're
going
to
help
us
with
that.
The
the
third
part
is,
you
know,
there's
a
chance
that
we
we
don't
get
all
the
funding
that
we
need,
which
means
we've
got
to
get
creative
and
and
look
for
additional
sources
for
funding
to
get
this
across
the
finish
line
and
we
need
we
need
the
full
strength
of
Sunny
Creek
Horizons
to
to
assist
us
in
that
in
that
effort.
S
So
those
are
the
the
three
things
that
we're
we're
focused
on
with
this
particular
contract
and
it's
it's
primarily
focused
on
the
armory.
In
the
Army
project
off
the
ground,
both
the
building-
you
know
the
physical
structure
and
then
the
the
second
phase,
which
is
the
shared
workspace
and
getting
that
operational.
K
Thank
you,
I
did
have
a
second
question,
I'm,
just
looking
for
a
little
additional
context
for
where
we
tend
to
do
these
contracts
with
Consultants.
This
is
the
price
tag
is
kind
of
reminding
me
of
that
which
we
have
with
real
our
racial
equity
and
Leadership
consultation,
friends
who
are
helping
us
with
trainings
and
other
things
on
an
ongoing
basis,
so
I'm
thinking
with
diversity
initiatives
now
with
kind
of
Economic
Development.
Are
there
other
areas?
We
have
historically
used
Consultants
on
a
like
an
annual
contract
basis.
J
You
know
I
I,
don't
know
if
there's
an
answer
to
your
question
100,
but
you
know
we
have
memberships
with
other
entities,
the
Athens
County
Economic,
Development
Council.
You
know
we
pay
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
the
EDC
for
the
purpose
of
Economic
Development
and
identifying
end
users
for
different
buildings.
They
were
instrumental
in
in
helping
Athens
mold
the
machine
come
back
in
line
in
the
city
of
Athens
they've
been
instrumental
in
other
other
endeavors,
quaidel
or
diagnostic
hybrids.
Back
in
the
day,
they
were
certainly
helpful
in
that
venue.
J
We
by
Statute
are
also
payers
to
the
Convention
of
visitors
bureau
by
Statute,
meaning
that
half
of
the
revenue
that
comes
into
the
city
for
our
transient
guest
tax
or
our
hotel
tax
goes
directly
to
them.
That's
by
Provisions
within
the
orc
that
that
is
done,
but
the
return
on
investment
again
is
is
worth
you
know
paying
that
for
as
well
as
the
EDC.
We
also
since
we
are
part
of
I
serve
on
Orca.
K
M
Yes,
just
gonna
add
another
example,
which
would
be
our
legal
firm
that
we
use
for
HR
Consulting.
We
pay
a
retainer
every
year
and
then,
if
we
ask
them
to
come
in
for
issues
or
to
review
our
Compensation
Plan,
you
know
we
pay
depending
on
the
time
and
stuff
for
that.
But
we
have
been
doing
that
for
quite
a
few
years.
U
You
auditor
and
the
other
thing
I
to
me:
it's
in
a
we're
paying
a
fee
to,
in
this
case,
a
an
organization
that
has
a
group
of
people
with
expertise
that
we
could
not
afford
to
hire
all
these
individuals
and
their
expertise
to
work
for
the
city
and
it's
somewhat
comparable
to
our
I.T
support,
and
you
know
someone
who
to
maintain
servers
and
equipment
and
sometimes
the
level
of
expertise
needed
for
some
of
this
work.
It
makes
sense
to
just
hire
a
consulting
firm
to
do
that.
So
are
there
other
questions
from
the
committee?
I
U
U
J
Can
tell
you
from
my
work
with
the
Ohio
mayor's
Alliance
of
which
I
serve
on
Oma.
It
is
very
typical
for
large
cities,
cities
to
have
advocacy,
you
know
through
whomever
that
they
deem
as
the
best
Advocate
to
help
them
with
securing
potential
funding,
whether
it's
through
the
state
or
the
federal
level.
It's
quite
a
honestly,
depending
on
what
you're
trying
to
what
fronting
you're
going
after
yeah.
Yes,.
U
We
have
also
had
city
employees,
who
are
experts
in
their
field
that
have
gone
and
testified
about
legislation
that
would
impact
us.
So
it's
not
a
pain,
a
lobbyist,
but
is
having
a
city
employee
who
can
communicate
with
state
level
legislators
regarding
issues
that
directly
impact
the
city,
so
that
is
another
form
of
advocacy
that
we
would
do
at
the
state
level.
I.
U
I
don't
know
about
a
process.
I
would
say
that
we
probably
as
Council,
need
to
see
the
terms
of
the
contract
which
we'll
have
before
we
authorize
entering
into
it
and
and
I
think
that
there's
there's
not
a
guarantee
with
this
type
of
work.
Thus
far
historically
they've
been
very
successful,
but
but
with
Grant
applications.
You
don't
know
mayor.
J
You
know
it's
the
the
type
of
advocacy
when
you're
looking
for
state
and
federal
funding,
it's
very
different.
You
know
we're
living
in
a
time
where
there
is
significant
amounts
of
money
flowing
both
within
the
state
and
from
the
federal
level
and
I'm
sent
new
information
from
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
at
least
once
a
week.
Are
you
looking
at
Ira?
You
know,
are
you
what
are
are
you?
J
Are
you
setting
yourself
up
in
which
to
take
advantage
of
the
inflation
reduction
act,
which
is
what
Ira
is
you
know
the
Armory
is
part
of
that
and
looking
at
okay,
if
we're
going
to
put
energy
efficiencies,
slash
geothermal,
slash,
solar
or
whatever,
with
the
Armory
project,
then
it
would
behoove
us
to
also
look
at
that
30
percent
tax
credit
that
we
could
get
through
the
inflation
reduction
act,
but
a
lot
of
that
would
be
managed
by
Sunny
Creek
Horizons.
You
know
you
work
on
the
paperwork.
To
make
sure
this
can
happen.
J
Yeah
we've
got
a
great
team
down
at
engineering
and
public
works,
but
when
it
comes
to
all
these
other
new
programs,
it's
like
drinking
from
a
fire
hose
every
day
when
I'm
looking
at
the
different
potential
granting
programs
that
are
out
there,
the
ones
that
are
it
seems
like
there's
something
new:
that
pops
up.
Every
other
day,
electrification
is
another
one,
that's
come
at
us.
Well,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
proper
EV
charging
stations
and
strategically
placed
in
the
city.
J
U
To
briefly
sum
up,
I,
don't
think
that
we
can
expect
Ace,
we,
we
can't
say
Sunday,
Creek
Horizons.
You
need
to
show
us
this
particular
dollar
return
on
investment
at
this
timeline,
but
we
can
certainly
ask
for
reports
of
on
their
activity
on
their
work
and
the
progress
that
they
make
on
different
advocacy
efforts,
and
there
are
many
different
Avenues
and
it's
really
beneficial
to
have
people
who
specialize
in
keeping
track
of
them
and
the
requirements
for
each
funding
opportunity.
K
Thank
you.
That's
no
secret
that
I
have
been
passionate
about
our
comprehensive
plan
since
joining
city
council,
our
Athens
2040
plan
and
I
do
recognize
that
it's
this
kind
of
planning
work
that
helps
us
make
progress
on
those
things
incremental
progress
toward
these
goals
that
we've
been
talking
about
for
the
last
year
and
a
half
and
I
am
just
looking
for
a
little
comment
on
Our
intention
to
have
this
Consulting
organization.
Sunday
Creek
Horizons
specifically
look
for
opportunities
to
help
us
Advance
our
progress
with
the
plan.
U
L
L
Thank
you,
President
nisley.
We
have
a
number
of
items
on
finance
and
Personnel
tonight,
starting
with
Appropriations.
The
first
item
is
twelve
hundred
dollars
to
the
general
fund
for
the
auditor's
office.
This
is
for
a
new
check
scanner.
The
auditor's
office
check
scanner,
which
is
used
on
a
daily
basis
as
deposits
come
in
and
they
can
use
the
scanner
to
make
those
deposits.
It's
used
quite
a
bit,
and
it
has
it's
not
working
great
I.
Think
is
the
report
that
I.
M
L
L
Okay,
thank
you
moving
on
to
the
next
appropriation
and
there
are
two
here
and
I'm
going
to
ask
the
auditor
if
she
has
additional
information.
These
are
both
for
the
the
court
900
to
the
municipal
court
to
the
general
fund
and
nine
thousand
dollars
to
the
DUI
court,
but
I
don't
have
any
other
information.
Does
the
auditor.
M
I,
don't
either
really
and
I.
Think
I
told
you
I
was
waiting
for
a
call
back,
I
believe
the
the
9000
to
the
DUI
Court
was
entered
into
the
budget
document
last
year,
minus
a
zero.
It
has
a
thousand
dollars
in
there
now
and
they
want
to
bump
that
up
to
10,
000
and
I'm,
not
sure
about
the
general
fund
900
dollars
that
they
need,
but
I
can
certainly
we'll
find
out
by
Monday
when
you
introduce
the
ordinance
I
hope
you
do
put
it
in
there.
M
L
Okay,
thank
you.
Yes,
we
will
get
more
information
on
the
transaction
class
for
those
items.
Any
questions
from
the
committee
on
these
two
other
Council
public
administration.
All
right.
The
last
item
on
under
Appropriations
is
our
paying
our
bills.
We
owe
a
will
appropriate
173
thousand
dollars
to
the
Sewer
debt
fund.
This
is
for
our
payments
in
2023,
both
in
January
and
July.
M
This
one
in
particular
we
we
have
about
1.4
million
in
in
sewer
fund
debt
payments,
but
this
is
the
one
that
came
to
us
late
last
year.
My
first
payment
was
in
December.
We
didn't
get
the
amount.
Until
later.
Last
year
we
asked
and
Council
has
passed
an
ordinance
to
pay
that
prior
year,
Bill
and
appropriate
that
amount
for
that
January
or
for
that
December
15th
payment.
But
this
will
take
care
of
our
next
payment,
which
is
six
months.
L
Thank
you
for
that
information.
Any
questions
from
the
committee
on
the
department
of
council
public
administration-
okay,
great,
that
is
it
for
Appropriations.
We
also
have
some
inner
fund
transfers
and
I
I
received
some
information
about
a
correction
today
from
what
we
see
on
our
agenda
on
the
third
item.
But
we'll
start
with
the
first
item.
This
is
eighty
thousand
dollars
to
other
administrative.
This
is
for
the
cemetery
fund.
This
is
a
fund
balance
increase
as
I
think
we're
aware
the
cemeteries
don't
produce
very
much
revenue
these
days.
L
L
M
V
M
I
I
L
M
I'm,
sorry,
for
that
last
minute,
thing,
I'm
kind
of
glad
I
was
reviewing
this
today,
though,
so
the
reason
we
were
making
these
transfers
is
because
the
money
we
don't
have
money
automatically
going
into
these
debt
funds,
except
for
the
sewer
fund.
We
do
because,
when
I
first
started,
we
were
in
trouble
making
payments
for
our
sewer
debt,
so
we
automatically
put
a
percentage
approved
by
Council
into
the
sewer
debt
fund.
M
For
these
other
funds
that
have
a
debt
fund,
we
have
to
move
the
money
from
the
fund
into
the
debt
fund,
so
parking
garage
is
one
that
we
just
did
and
the
water
fund
is
the
other
one.
So
this
is,
as
you
know,
member
crowd
just
said:
we're
moving
from
the
Waterfront
to
the
water
debt
fund,
396
thousand
dollars.
L
L
H
M
We
because
the
general
fund
is
mostly
tax
dollars
and
considered
General
obligation.
We
can
use
general
fund
monies
for
almost
anything
any
other
fund.
It
doesn't
work
that
way.
You
know
with
the
funds
going
back
to
the
general
fund,
so
I'm
going
to
say
two
years
ago,
or
so
we
borrowed
money
from
the
general
fund
because
it
had,
we
can
borrow
money
from
ourselves,
save
the
interest
and
pay
it
back,
but
we
do
have
to
have
an
ordinance
with
with
a
plan,
and
so
that's
what
that
is.
M
V
U
For
added
Clarity
like
we
made
some
improvements
to
the
parking
garage
and
our
parking
meters,
and
then
there
was
a
pandemic
that
resulted
in
a
drastic
reduction
of
income
from
the
parking,
and
so
there
was
a
a
lot
less
money
than
anticipated
going
into
our
parking
fund.
So
in
order
to
maintain
the
expenses
that
we
had
incurred,
the
city
general
fund
loaned
money
to
the
the
parking
fund,
and
now
the
parking
fund
has
is
recovering
and
can
pay
some
of
it
back.
L
L
This
is
really
just
the
money
was
incorrectly
clerical
error
put
in
the
wrong
lines,
and
so
what
you
see
here
in
the
transaction
classes
are
are
the
amounts
that
are
needed
in
those
what
they
have
currently
and
the
amounts
that
they
needed.
You'll
see
that
last
transaction
code
600
line.
That
is
where
the
bulk
of
this
money
went.
L
It's
not
adding
any
new
money,
it's
just
correcting
the
amounts
that
need
to
be
in
the
in
the
two
to
three
hundreds
and
the
500s,
and
not
in
the
in
the
600s
you'll,
see
that
large
decrease
from
the
600s
and
then
the
more
size
and
the
increases
into
the
200
and
300s
and
the
500s.
So
this
was
just
caught
and
we
are
correcting
ordinance
15522.
Our
2023
budget
questions
from
the
committee
on
this
change
of
the
council
to
the
administration
need
to
add.
M
I
was
just
going
to
add
that
this
is
a
correction
from
the
budget
from
last
fall
and
the
multiple
spreadsheets
that
each
department
has,
and
these
amounts
were
just
put
in
the
wrong
column
and
need
to
be
moved
over.
But
now
that
we've
passed
it
with
these
amounts,
we
just
have
to
increase
and
decrease
understood.
