Description
Athens City Council - May 22, 2023
B
B
Our
first
item
of
business,
though,
is
to
establish
the
Quorum,
and
all
members
of
council
are
present
for
our
one
reading
resolution.
I'll
read
the
title
of
it.
This
is
our
523,
a
resolution
determining
the
petition
to
establish
the
ridge's
new
community
Authority
district
is
sufficient
and
complies
with
the
requirements
of
Ohio
Revised
Code,
section
349.03
in
form
and
substance,
setting
the
time
and
place
for
a
hearing
on
the
petition
and
authorizing
the
notice
by
publication
of
such
hearing
and
declaring
an
emergency,
and
this
is
introduced
by
all
members
of
council.
C
B
For
the
NCAA
petition
and
that,
as
mentioned
was
the
rather
large
document,
it
contains
some
of
the
details
of
establishing
the
community
Authority
and
then
also
contains
our
code
chapter
or
excuse
me,
title
23
and
then
also
a
marketing
analysis
and
a
summary
of
that
analysis
and
some
maps
and
we'll
be
seeing
a
few
of
those
Maps
tonight.
The
other
thing
that
council
members
have
been
provided
is
the
end
of
the
new
community
Authority
process,
as
defined
by
Ohio.
B
Revised
Code
and
I
will
state
that
the
this
petition
and
the
process
has
been
worked
on
by
Mr
Joe
retchie,
who
has
visited
us
before
back
in
February
2023
and
then
again
in
April.
He
has
worked
with
Bricker
and
Eckler
law,
firm
and
and
has
also
worked
in
concert
and
collaboration
with
our
law
director
to
make
sure
that
this
petition
meets
all
of
the
requirements
as
set
up
in
the
Ohio
Revised
Code,
and
so
this
I'll
just
to
give
a
brief
summary,
then
of
the
process
that
we're
going
through
tonight's.
B
B
We
do
have
under
consideration
tonight,
also
a
potential
purchase
agreement
and
then,
as
mentioned
before,
we
will
be
moving
forward
then
later
with
the
tax
incremental
financing
and
then
the
CRA,
the
community
reinvestment
area,
so
those
will
all
be
pieces
of
legislation
that
will
be
moving
forward
with
the
timeline
on
this
is
the
one
resolution
one
reading
resolution
tonight
for
the
petition.
The
hearing
on
the
14th
15.
Excuse
me
15th
of
June,
and
that
will
be
them.
Council
will
have
a
meeting
and
to
consider
the
ordinance.
B
Following
that
public
hearing
we
have
put
out
a
press
release
for
the
public
hearing,
we'll
also
be
putting
out
other
announcements
posting
it
on
the
website,
we'll
share
it
with
a
Community
Association.
So
we
can
make
sure
that
that
people
in
the
in
Athens
are
informed
about
this
and
Mr
wretchy
is
here
to
make
a
brief
presentation.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
members
for
entertaining
this.
This
is
an
ongoing
and
iterative
process,
so,
as
was
described
by
council
president
nicely,
the
there
are
several
elements
of
legislation,
but
there's
also
that
integration
with
what
Ohio,
University
its
staff
and
its
Board
of
Trustees
are
doing
in
helping
move
this
forward.
D
As
as
you're
aware
from
our
previous
presentations,
the
department
of
administrative
services
at
the
state
has
to
approve
all
of
this
too,
but
this
is
how
we
get
it
started
the
petition,
the
intended
creation
of
the
new
community
Authority
and
then
introducing
other
legislation,
the
tax
income
and
financing
and
Community
reinvestment
act,
areas
that
help
support
the
building
of
infrastructure
at
the
site,
so
I.
This
is
a
means
of
just
summarizing
the
300
pages
that
was
sent
to
you
in
the
form
of
the
petition.
D
The
petition
has
a
pretty
detailed
Market
study
that
was
done
for
all
of
the
elements
that
we're
talking
about
in
the
project
as
well
as
ohm
engineering
has
provided
engineering
details
on
infrastructure,
both
the
public
infrastructure
that
would
need
to
be
done
for
new
increments
of
development,
as
well
as
the
the
anticipated
site,
work
and
infrastructure.
That
is,
the
the
responsibility
of
individual
developers
of
sites.
So
that's
all
in
the
in
the
package
as
well
as
other
details
about
it.
D
As
you
know,
the
the
property
is
all
in
the
city
of
Athens,
so
it
would
all
be
subject
to
your
zoning
regulations.
So
this
this
would
be
the
one
of
many
times.
I
would
be
before
you
assuming
success
in
the
creation
of
the
new
community
Authority,
you
get
many
cuts
at
this.
Everything
has
to
be
zoned.
There
are
some
lot
splits
that
are
required,
we'll
be
back
to
you
for
that.
So
there
are
many
elements
of
as
I
say,
iterative
process
of
partnership
with
the
city
and
with
the
university
to
make
this
work.
D
D
Is
it
really
would
look
like
a
lot
like
it
did
in
the
early
20th
century?
So
when
the
when
all
those
buildings
were
built
and
repurposed
you'd
have
a
campus
that
is
pretty
much
intact
as
it
was
originally
designed.
So
that's
the
that's.
The
goal
goal
is
to
have
that
historic,
campus,
repurposed
and
revitalized
in
much
of
the
structural
elements
that
exist
now.
D
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
the
sort
of
layout
of
the
campus,
and
this
has
been
very
carefully
developed
with
Ohio
University,
the
dark
green,
the
many
buildings
that
are
dark,
green.
Those
are
the
ones
that
Ohio
University
has
made
significant
investments
in
and
is
using
they're
using
most
or
all
of
those
buildings.
Right
now,
the
remainder
of
the
buildings
are,
you
can
see
by
the
key.
There
are
certain
buildings,
the
the
light
green
color.
D
Those
are
buildings
that
would
be
transferred
to
the
new
community
Authority
by
Ohio
University.
Then
there
are
other
buildings
that
would
be
transferred
subject
to
a
lease
back,
so
the
university
is
using
a
portion
of
those
sites
of
buildings
and
we
would
have
at
later
stages
we
would
with
a
three-year
planning
process.
We
would
terminate
those
leases
and
use
those.
D
So
it's
a
stage
development
that
permits
the
university
to
continue
using
all
the
buildings
it
currently
owns
and
operates,
plus
some
of
the
buildings
that
it's
using
on
a
temporary
basis
or
for
storage
and
then
there's
some
there
are
buildings
that
would
be
have
more.
Limitations
could
only
be
used
if
we
could
find
a
replacement,
for
example,
the
printing
operation,
which
is
quite
active
there
at
the
fridges,
so
it
it
has
sort
of
three
stages
of
use
in
sharing
the
space
with
Ohio
University.
D
That's
the
historic
campus
and
all
of
that
would
be
subject
to
a
condominium,
mixed-use
condominium
that
would
be
set
up
with
Ohio
University
and
that's
how
we
would
would
operate
the
shared
space.
The
next
slide
has
to
do
with
this
is
an
exhibit
to
a
proposed
purchase,
option
agreement
that
we
are.
We
are
proposing
to
the
city
of
Athens,
so
this
has
to
do
with
land
that
is
currently
Park
land
by
the
city
and
having
restrictions
on
it
that
have
been
placed
by
the
state.
D
So
again,
this
is
a
a
precondition
of
any
transfer
would
be
figuring
out
the
release
of
that
that
restriction
by
the
state,
as
well
as
the
restrictions
that
are
on
the
rest
of
the
property
that
it
be
done
by
the
university.
But
if
you
look
at
that
Park
land,
that's
all
that
is
sort
of
the
gold
in
there
that
city
land
there
are
three
Parcels.
One
is
the
road
Park,
the
other.
D
The
larger
parcel
is
about
9.5
Acres
or
so,
and
that's
where
the
shelter
house,
the
miniature
golf
course
and
the
playing
field
is
and
then
and
some
picnic
benches
and
Park
area
there.
The
south
portion
of
that
following
Dairy
Lane,
opens
up
into
the
parking
lot
and
the
play
Park
the
the
playground
park
that
is
at
the
corner
of,
as
you
know,
on
at
the
corner
of
the
site.
The
hatched
marks
are
what
we're
proposing
to
acquire.
D
So
it
is
a
total
of
about
eight
Acres
of
the
19
acres
and
it's
comprised
of
about
six
acres
at
the
top
of
the
site
that
is
up
close
to
piggary
Lane,
a
one
a
little
over
one
acre
parcel
that
is
adjacent
to
the
parking
lot
and
just
south
of
the
storage
that
the
university
is
using
for
trailer
storage
and
Boat
Storage.
So
along
that
area
and
then
there's
a
0.4
acre
parcel,
that's
just
the
edge
of
the
Brick
Lane
this
that
goes,
that
has
a
tree
line
adjacent
to
it.
D
So
the
Parkland
is
south
of
the
Parkland
includes
north
of
the
tree
line,
but
the
active
Park
is
south
of
the
tree
line.
That
0.4
acres
is
is
important
because
it's
along
a
line
that
could
be
Town
Homes
along
that
Brick
Lane.
So
those
are
three
parcels
and
we
have
a
purchase
proposal
to
the
city.
It
has
not
been
negotiated,
but
it
is
a
proposal
subject
to
further
negotiation.
D
It's
on
a
slightly
different
track
than
this
petition,
but
I
want
to
be
clear
that
those
are
all
the
things
that
comprise
the
comprehensive
plan
for
the
ridges
and
I
want
to
keep
all
that
on
the
table,
even
though
they're
in
separate
track
that
this
would
come
come
along
at
a
later
date
and
it
would
be
included
in
the
new
community
Authority
and
amended.
The
District
of
the
new
community
Authority
would
be
amended.
D
E
B
Two
comments
to
make
before
we
turn
it
over
to
questions
from
Council,
Members,
First
and
then
Administration,
and
then
our
audience
members.
If
there
are
any
questions-
and
this
is
our
service
safety
director-
is
not
able
to
be
with
us
tonight-
we're
very
glad
that
our
deputies
service,
Safety
directors
is
here,
but
I
will
offer
two
quotes
that
information
that
service
safety
director
stone
shared
with
us
today
and
one
of
them
is-
and
he
says
we
could
quote
him
on
this.
B
B
F
I'm
not
sure,
if
I'm
trying
to
follow
the
process,
if
these
are
appropriate
now
or
down
the
road
and
the
reason
I
say
that
is
they're
not
appropriate.
Now
and
don't
relate
to
the
resolution,
then
I
can
say
them
for
another
time.
So
I'll
start
with
a
question.
If
it's
something
that
we
need
to
discuss
later
on,
that's
fine
and
we
can
kick
it
down
the
road,
the
hatched
areas
in
that
drawing
where
we
have
green
and
yellow
and
and
maroon
number
34.
F
D
So
it
is
intended
to
be
housing
and
the
reason
that
we
we
we're
having
to
do
a
significant
amount
of
infrastructure,
improvements
on
The,
Ridges
campus
and
so
all
the
infrastructure,
that's
new
would
be
accessible
to
that,
so
that
actually
makes
it
the
easiest
to
make
it
housing.
So
those
are
the
the
sites,
so
they
that's.
That's
it
simply.
F
F
D
Well,
I
think
your
predisposition
is
shared
probably
by
everybody
in
this
room
this,
that
the
CDC
building
is
part
of
what
the
university
owns
and
will
continue
to
own.
So
it's
marked
as
building
27,
so
it'll
always
be
owned
by
Ohio
University,
it's
not
being
transferred.
It
will
be.
You
know
the
area
around,
it
will
be
improved,
but
the
area
that
the
the
CDC
is
using
will
continue
to
be
the
CDC.
D
So
in
fact
the
the
likelihood
is
that
the
CDC
may
have
the
opportunity
to
expand
if
they
wish
to,
because
they're
going
to
be
families
living
there
and
I.
Imagine
that
they
would
want
to
have
the
quality
provision
of
child
care
the
way
the
CDC
has
done.
Historically,
so
we
have
met
with
them.
We've
walked
the
property,
we
know.
What's
I
think
we
know
what's
important
to
them.
D
E
Thank
you.
So
this
is
kind
of
a
related
question
in
that
it
appears,
at
least
in
the
hash
marked
area
where
the
baseball
field
is,
and
then
you've
got
that
hash
area.
That
is
that
you
were
just
talking
about,
but
then
right
next
to
that
is
another
park
for
kids,
so
I've
had
some
constituents
have
some
concerns
about
wanting
more
and
better
Parks.
You
know
around
the
the
community
for
kids,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
we
don't
completely
abandon
that
as
a
mission
that
we
provide
some
space
for
kid
activities
and
Parkland.
D
So
so
that
existing
Park
and
playground
would
continue
to
be
just
the
way
it
is,
and
we're
not
wishing
to
disturb
that,
in
fact,
quite
the
opposite.
It's
with
the
new
community
Authority.
There
may
be
some
ability
to
support
further
development
of
that
playground
area,
because
you
know
there'll
be
kids
there
and
and
the
more
use
the
the
better
the
services.
D
So,
even
in
this
plan,
the
the
shelter
house,
which
actually
was
being
used
this
evening
by
Boy
Scouts
I,
think
the
shelter
house,
the
picnic
area,
the
creek,
the
little
bridge
that
would
all
stay,
Parkland
so
and
and
the
connecting
Parkland
to
this.
It
won't
be
the
whole
parcel.
There's
that
path,
bike
path
and
connectivity
between
the
shelter
area
and
the
playground
area.
D
Of
course,
the
parking
will
stay
the
parking
so
we're
not
disturbing
most
of
the
uses
of
the
site
and
in
our
purchase
agreement,
we've
stated
it
in
the
alternative:
either
pay
you
for
the
land
or,
alternatively,
give
you
or
arrange
two
acres
of
active
Recreation
somewhere
else
on
the
site
and
including
the
recreation
of
the
miniature
golf.
If
that's
a
desire
of
the
the
city,
so
it
could
be
that
the
money
serves
better,
maybe
there's
another
place
for
the
miniature
golf
or
a
playground,
but
that's
the
proposal.
Thank.
G
G
D
It's
just
that,
okay,
so
it's
it!
That's
not
a
very
dense
area,
but
we're
hoping
to
do
make
that
a
if
you
can
picture
town
homes
on
that
Brick
Lane,
a
kind
of
European
feel
and
then
the
park
is
obviously
walkable
and
it's
walkable
up
to
the
ridges,
and
then
it
foreshortens
the
view
of
The
Ridges.
If
you're
coming
around,
if
you're,
walking
or
riding
your
bike
or
driving
across
the
turnabout
you'll
see
at
the
bottom
of
the
hill,
there'll
be
more
it'll,
be
more
active,
so
it
kind
of
invites
you
up
the
hill.
D
So
the
idea
is,
if
you're,
if
you're
one
of
the
things
that's
seen
as
a
kind
of
burden,
is,
if
you're
down
at
the
at
the
bridge
and
you're
looking
up
the
hill.
It's
like
it
looks
this
thing
because
you're
looking
at
the
tower,
if
you
look
at
the,
if
you
focus
on
the
park,
it's
like,
oh
that's,
an
easy
walk,
and
so
what
I
found
is
like
people
will
walk
in
a
mall
parking
lot
or
outlet
mall
parking
lot
for
a
mile
or
Disney
World,
but
they
don't
like
to
walk
any
this
instance.
H
I
want
to
start
with
the
one
slide
that
Council
got
to
see
of
the
site
in
Traverse.
City
I
did
have
the
opportunity
to
go
up
to
Traverse
City
and
look
at
their
kirkbride
building,
and
it's
really
kind
of
been
been
stuck
in
my
head
as
to
what
this
is,
what
the
The
Ridges
can
become.
I
got
to
tour
through
the
condominium
complexes.
The
Condominiums
themselves,
which
were
were
gorgeous
quite
honestly
and
I,
could
see
them
being
very
attractive
to
owners
here
in
the
city
of
Athens.
H
Also
within
that
slide-
and
you
didn't
see
it
very
well-
I,
don't
imagine-
is
you're
also
looking
at
snapshots
of
some
of
the
outbuildings
that
are
in
Traverse
City
on
that
compound
and
to
see
some
of
the
elk
buildings
that
exist
now
up
at
The,
Ridges
being
repurposed
into
other
amenities.
Several
of
them
were
restaurants,
some
were
little
shops
little
stores,
it
was
again
quite
the
site
to
actually
get
to
experience,
and
the
buildings
are
exactly
the
same.
H
Ours
has
cooler
looking
couple
is
because
they
lost
theirs,
but
they
also
had
some
other
features
that
ours
lost
back
in
the
day,
but
anyway,
I
just
want
to
share
that.
I
also
want
to
Echo
what
director
Stone
was
saying
and
that
that
I
I
truly
believe,
as
do
other
officials
here
in
the
city
of
Elkins.
This
is
the
last
shot
for
The
Ridges
campus.
It's
the
last
shot
for
having
something
that
is
truly
going
to
change
the
the
landscape
here
in
the
city
of
Athens.
H
You
know
we're
always
talking
about
affordable
housing
here
in
the
city
of
Athens,
and
this
is
our
shot
for
that
as
well
with
The
Ridges,
potentially
creating
700
units
up
there.
Think
about
that
for
a
minute
you
know
so
the
Water
Project
that's
happening
out
on
682
and
56.
That's
190,
plus
housing
units.
H
This
would
be
700
potentially
I
also
want
to
touch
briefly
on
the
the
park
areas
that
you
saw
that
were
hash
marked.
We
have
been
thinking
through
other
potential
areas
for
a
miniature
golf
course
as
much
or
as
little
as
that.
Golf
Course
is
used
one
of
the
big
challenges
with
our
miniature
golf
up
there,
which
is
kind
of
ironic
that
it
is
maintained
by
havar,
as
well
as
the
businesses
that
sponsor
the
holes.
H
It's
not
Ada
accessible,
so
now's
our
opportunity
to
create
a
new
miniature
golf
that
is
truly
Ada
accessible
to
where
we
are
furthering
our
mission
to
make
sure
that
we
are
an
all-inclusive
Community.
There
are
several
areas
that
we
were
looking
at.
You
know:
I
was
just
looking
at
some
today.
You
know
we
have
seven
acres
south
of
the
library
to
put
a
miniature
golf
course
by
the
library
and
its
use
would
be
pretty
interesting.
Could
it
be
located
elsewhere,
that
is
on
flatter
Terrain?
H
That
is
more
easy
to
access,
absolutely,
even
speaking
with
Mr
Brooks
who
here's
what
here
with
us
tonight,
you
know.
Is
there
the
potential
for
finding
another
OU
property
to
where
we
could
put
a
miniature
golf
course?
That's
operated
by
avar
maintained
by
havar
but
owned
by
the
city
as
we're
moving
forward.
So
there's
lots
of
options
for
some
of
those.
We've
already
put
a
lot
of
money
into
the
West
State
Street
ball
fields.
We
will
continue
to
do
so
so
much
so
that
we
now
have
field
one
and
field
two.
H
It's
priority
for
fem
for
women's
softball
down
there
that
have
priority
when
it
comes
to
games
so
that
we
basically
are
meeting
is
a
city
Title
Nine,
with
access
to
recreational
spaces,
because
I
know
there
is
an
old
ball
field
up
there,
but
that
ball
field
is
a
little
used
by
anybody,
and
so
I
just
need
to
say
that
to
council.
I.
H
Think
that
that
this
is
a
really
important
project
moving
forward
when
we're
talking
about
the
the
small
acreage
that
Mr
Ritchie
is
talking
about.
That's
in
this
hash
mark
the
the
playground
equipment
will
be
preserved.
Nothing
is
happening
with
the
playground
equipment,
as
was
indicated,
I
also
think
that
it
gives
us
a
real
opportunity
to
enhance
a
lot
of
the
playground
area
to
where
it
continues
to
be
of
service
to
our
community.
B
Somebody
referred
to
the
miniature
golf
course
as
a
gym
and
I.
Think
The
Ridges
is
a
gem
and
all
the
buildings
on
it.
So
this
is
an
important
moment
for
us
to
be
able
to
move
forward
as
a
community
and
do
it
in
collaboration
with
the
university.
So,
okay,
well,
we've
had
a
motion
in
second
ask
questions
made
comments
and,
if
we're
ready,
then
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
B
B
I
would
like
to
make
one
announcement
that
we
are
modifying
the
agenda.
We
got
some
good
news
that
councilmember
Krell
is
chair
of
the
finance
and
Personnel
committee
will
bring
up
that
the
courts
have
received
some
grant
funding
for
an
intensive
probation
officer
position
for
the
next
two
years.
So
we
do
want
to
mention
that
tonight
at
the
committee
meeting,
so
as
legislation
may
be
required
later
on
for
Appropriations,
we
have
done
our
proper
steps
in
the
process.
B
The
first
item
for
the
committee
of
the
whole
is
untagged
bags
stickers
sold
in
advance
and
the
council
member
Reisner
brought
this
to
our
attention
a
few
weeks
ago
and
in
Consulting
with
the
mayor,
they
have
decided
that
ordinance
number
10221,
which
council
members
have
on
their
Drive,
is
in
need
of
being
amended.
What
happened
when
102
21
was
passed
was
that
the
stickers,
the
possibility
of
using
them
was
or
the
stickers
themselves
the
program
of
purchasing
stickers
separately
was
eliminated.
B
What
we
haven't
accounted
for
is
that
there
are
unused
stickers
out
in
the
community,
including
in
the
possession
of
council
member
Eisner,
but
other
citizens
I'm
sure
and
so
we're.
What
we're
wanting
to
do
and
I
think
it's
a
laudable
goal.
Council
member
Reisner
is
to
to
amend
our
ordinance
so
that
we
can
honor
the
purchase
the
already
purchased.
I
I
A
few
weeks
ago
of
having
an
extra
bag
of
trash
and
I
have
15
stickers
in
my
little
junk
drawer
and
I,
put
it
on
the
bag
and
put
it
out
there
and
I
got
billed
for
5.25.
That's
when
I
discovered
that,
somehow
or
other,
with
a
lack
of
due
diligence
on
my
part
as
much
as
anybody
else,
starting
with
ordinance
61-20
of
May
26
2020,
the
see
section
well,
not
section
but
chapter
1.03
down
down
down
to
special
Hall
and
extra
bags.
I
That's
that's
up
to
them,
but
the
fact
is,
there
are
stickers
out
there
in
the
community.
I
know
I'm,
not
the
only
one
I
can
think
of
a
couple.
Other
people
that
have
them
and
I
think
they
should
be
honored
until
they're
they're
all
gone.
You
know,
however
long
that
may
take
yeah
50
years
from
now
the
sticker
pops
up
it,
no
I'm
dead,
serious
here
it
it's
it's
just
a
matter
of
basic
fairness.
I
You
know,
if
you
buy
something-
and
you
say
well,
I
should
be
able
to
use
it
as
part
of
the
public
trust
in
it
I.
So
that's
why
I
come
next
Monday.
The
help
of
the
law
director
and
the
clerk
of
council
will
put
an
orders
together
that
will
amend
this
to
where
those
stickers
will
be
honored
and,
as
I
said,
I
have
no
desire
to
reinstitute
the
program.
I
I
C
F
B
J
A
J
Know
there
could
be
an
opportunity
and
an
exchange
of
of
doing
that
to
do
a
couple
of
things
one.
We
still
have
a
litter
bag
program
and
bundled
sticks.
You
know
a
simple
solution
would
be
to
trade
in
those
those
excess
stickers
for
something
that
we
already
have
that
exists
without
involving
the
the
hauler,
the
trash
contractor.
J
H
Andrew's
right,
you
know,
another
potential
option
could
be
that
we
have
a
an
amnesty
is
not
the
right
word.
We
have
a
refund
period
of
time
to
where
you
know
free.
In
your
case,
you
said
you
have
15
stickers
that
you
paid
a
dollar
fifty
a
sticker.
So
you
know
you're
22.50
that
we
could.
We
could
open
up
potentially
open
a
refund
program
for
anyone
who
digs
through
their
junk
drawer
and
finds.
H
F
B
I
am
going
to
propose
that
we
move
forward
some
very
clear
or
simple
language
to
amend
the
ordinance
and
that
will
work
with
Administration
on
the
best
way
to
move
forward
on
this
and
we'll
do
our
best,
also
to
publicize
that
to
get
the
information
out.
But
if
people
have
those
stickers
the
way
to
turn
them
back
in,
we
don't
need
to
figure
it
all
out
here
tonight,
because
we've
got
a
great
Administration.
B
This
is
suggested
by
the
national
league
of
cities
and
council
members
did
receive
a
copy
of
that
on
their
hard
drive
council
members,
McCary
and
mayor
Patterson
and
I
met
on
Friday
to
just
tweak
the
language
on
it
and
what
we
did
was
gave
the
top
part
of
the
information
so
paper
council
members
now
have
a
paper
copy
of
that
and
you
can
see
and
they
may
have
the
new
one
on
their
shared
drive.
Also
that
the
grade
in
area
at
the
top
of
the
document
is
shared
just
as
background
information.
We've
slightly
rearranged.
B
The
title
of
the
resolution
and
we've
also
acknowledged
the
work
of
council
member
Grace
in
her
resolution,
1020
that
acknowledges
declaring
race
Equity
as
a
Health
crisis
in
in
Athens
City
and
then
at
the
bottom,
where
the
national
league
of
cities
had
encouraged
us
to
commit
to
a
community
centered
around
courage,
love
and
belonging.
What
we
have
in
adopted
is
the
city's
vision
statement
and
inserted
that
at
the
bottom,
that
Athens
is
a
welcoming,
Forward,
Thinking
and
diverse
community
that
celebrates
its
eclectic
college
town
Roots,
while
growing
sustainably.
B
K
Thank
you,
president
nicely
I
am
supportive
of
this
resolution
and,
as
you
mentioned,
have
been
part
of
the
National
League
of
cities.
Efforts
with
the
racial
equity
and
Leadership
I
really
appreciate
that
they
have
encouraged
cities
to
reaffirm
their
commitment
to
racial
Equity,
even
if
they
have,
as
we
do
a
resolution
declaring
racism.
A
Public,
Health
crisis.
K
So
I
especially
encourage
Council
to
actively
engage
in
this
recommitment
such
that
we
might
consider
on
an
ongoing
basis,
regularly
making
this
kind
of
statement
with
different
members
of
council
present
and
making
sure
that
we
also
consider
opportunities
to
invite
Community
input.
Since
inclusion
is
at
the
center
of
this,
I
believe
that
the
Athens
community
relations
commission
and
the
racial
Equity
Coalition
of
Athens
County
would
be
very
supportive
of
this
kind
of
resolution
and
hope
that
all
members
of
council
will
participate
in
discussions.
G
G
B
F
Thing
my
dad
wasn't
an
English
Professor
too
we'd,
be
here
forever
I
I
I
heard.
Remember:
McCary
mentioned
something
that
kind
of
I
think
he
started
down
a
pretty
good
path
here.
As
you
all
remember,
we
spent
an
inordinate
amount
of
time
on
the
single-use
plastic
bag
ordinance
and
in
doing
that.
What
we
did
was
engage
appropriate
Representatives,
both
individuals
and
organizations
in
the
community
to
lend
their
support
to
it.
One
was
the
group
rethinks
Athens,
rethinks
Plastics
and
the
other
was
the
Athens
environment
and
sustainability
commission.
F
Picking
up
on
remember,
mccary's
comments.
There
I
think
it
might
be
worth
our
while
to
engage
the
two
groups
that
he
mentioned:
the
community
relations
being
one
to
to
help
us
fine-tune
this
to
Athens.
The
the
national
league
of
cities
is
a
big
organization.
Representatives
representing
cities,
large
small
and
in
between,
but
but
I
think
we
could.
F
H
Came
to
us
through
the
race,
Equity,
race,
equity
and
Leadership
Institute
that
councilmember
McCary,
Lacey,
Rogers
and
myself
were
all
part
of
that
team
going
through
the
Institute
I
want
to
share
that
number.
Two
I
want
to
kind
of
put
an
exclamation
mark
on
something
that
councilmember
McCary
mentioned.
I
feel
strongly
about
this,
and
that
is
that
with
every
Change
in
city
council
governments
change
government,
the
the
the
way
that
council
is
constituted,
changes
it'll
change
in
January
to
where
you
have
two
new
council
members.
H
Three
new
council
members
and
a
new
council
president
and
I
am
asking
Council
to
strongly
consider
that
you
we
reaffirm
this
every
other
year,
if
not
every
year,
as
we
move
forward
in
this
path,
I
would
encourage
every
year.
But
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
lose
continuity
with
what
is
in
this
resolution,
as
we
move
forward
in
time,
because,
let's
be
real,
we're
not
all
going
to
be
elected
forever.
You
know
unless
you
die
in
office
and
then
that's
right,
I
know
don't
do
that.
I'm,
not
encouraging.
C
Just
to
sort
of
join,
remember
Krall
on
some
wordsmithing
in
the
the,
whereas,
regarding
resolution,
1020
I
would
recommend,
acknowledges
the
work
of
the
council
by
declaring
racism
a
Public,
Health
crisis
right
right
right
right.
Thank
you,
yeah,
that's
certainly
worded.
It
sounds
like
racial
Equity
is
right.
B
F
Those
are
a
little
different
and
it
kind
of
muddles
it
a
bit.
However,
if
we
are
going
to
include
those
there
is
one
area,
category
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
right
word
is.
That's
conspicuously
missing,
as
it
relates
to
our
unique
situation
here
in
Athens
in
Athens
County,
and
that
is
socioeconomic
status.
B
K
B
C
J
No
I
I,
so
I
I
brought
a
map
and
I
didn't
put
it
on
the
on
the
drive,
but
you
can
see.
Imagine
you
had
a
square,
that's
your
property
like
like
the
square
and
then
a
railroad
comes
through
and
cuts
it
in
half
and
that's
what
happened
here.
So
you
have
a
piece
of
property
on
the
bottom,
a
piece
of
property
on
the
top.
They
have
the
same
parcel
number.
J
C
F
C
The
piece
that
is
sold
to
the
library
would
be
the
library's
responsibility
and
it's
I
think
very
little
open
land,
because,
if
I
remember
from
previous
Maps,
a
part
of
the
building
is
actually
on
the
parcel
and
it's
a
very
small
parcel
so
or
piece
of
a
parcel.
So
the
it's,
it's
not
a
whole
lot
of
upkeep,
but
that
would
be
entirely
transferred
to
the
library,
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
other
members
of
council
members
of
the
community
Administration
any
further.
C
This
one
is
a
an
easement
that
AEP
has
requested
an
easement
from
the
city
of
Athens
and
along
Elliott's
Bill
Road,
and
they
currently
have
a
20-foot
easement,
but
have
requested
to
expand
it
to
a
40-foot
easement
due
to
the
three-phase
power
which
I
don't
actually
know
what
that
involves
other
than
what
I
read
back
and
forth
from
the
AEP
Communications.
But
the
city
owns
a
piece
of
land
off
of
Kenny
drive
that
the
our
end
of
that
from
the
Kinney
Drive
perspective
goes
along.
C
Elliottsville
and
AEP
has
a
power
line
that
goes
through
that,
because
it
is
not
in
the
public
right-of-way,
but
actually
cuts
through
the
the
city's
parcel.
It
needs
to
be
done
through
an
easement,
rather
than
a
use
of
the
right-of-way
did
I
get
that
correct,
so
they
they
need
to
expand
their
existing
easement
due
to
upgrading,
like
I,
saw
one
of
the
maps
provided
by
AEP
shows
new
polls
and
other
upgraded
electric
service
work.
D
L
Hi
I'm
Rob
delach
live
on
Morris
Avenue
here
in
the
city,
just
a
question
about
this
easement.
It
doesn't
sound
like
it
would
impact,
but
just
to
make
sure
there's
the
potential
for
a
sure
juice
path
that
the
city
was
seeking
a
Federal
grant
for
that
would
connect
from
elliottsville.
Is
it
elliotsville,
always
get
it
yeah,
elliottsville
Road
on
that
city,
property
back
to
behind
Kenny
Drive
behind
the
school
and
just
making
sure
this
wouldn't
impact
that
so
it
would
still
allow
that
access
is
all
right.
H
It's
still
the
plan,
especially
with
the
fire
Services
operations
that
are
going
on
down
there
or
in
the
future,
will
be
going
on
and
the
new
EMS
station
So.
The
plan
is
to
have
open
up
an
access
onto
elliotsville,
Road,
and
so
we've
been
working
with
AEP
and
they're.
Aware
that
that's
what
our
our
intentions
are
yep
sounds
good.
Thank
you.
C
C
So
this
is
the
the
paperwork
is
has
been
completed
and
the
ballot
Dropbox.
My
knowledge
is
still
there.
It
has
been
there
and
is
there,
and
it
was
discovered
that
this
was
a
circumstance
where
they
needed
to
get
a
permit
for
use
of
the
Cities
right
away
and
so
have
filled
out
the
paperwork.
To
do
so.
Are
there
questions
from
members
of
the
committee
on
this
title?
49.
C
C
It's
currently
Sunbelt
Rentals
previously
Bedrock
rentals,
but
they
recently
received
a
use
of
the
right-of-way
permit
for
updating
their
sign
and
would
like
to
amend
that
to
allow
them
to
put
up
a
fence
and
a
space
for
storage
of
equipment,
and
they
did
provide
diagrams
of
where
that
fence
would
be,
and
it
would
and
stated
that
it
would
go
just
inside
so
on
on
their
building
business
side
of
the
sign
and
there's
also
a
note
that
Chief
Reimer
stated
the
fence
would
not
be
an
issue
in
accessing
fire.
Hydrants.
F
F
But
it's
it's
granting
use
of
the
city
right
away
for
commercial
business
on
a
busy
road
and
where
I'm
going
with
this
is
down
on
East,
State
Street
and
it
seems
we're
getting
more
and
more
creep
into
the
right
of
way
down
there
every
day
which
is
causing
all
kinds
of
traffic
problems
from
a
visual
standpoint.
It's
become
dangerous.
So
we're
good
on
this
that
this
isn't
gonna
cause
that
kind
of
visibility
or
a
line
of
sight
problems.
C
J
C
Thank
you.
Are
there
questions
from
other
members
of
council
members
of
the
community,
okay,
okay
and
one
more
title,
49
special
right-of-way
permit.
This
is
for
use
of
the
city's
property
located
at
286,
West
Union
and
the
applicant
is
Ben
abfall,
who
is
treasurer
of
the
Athens
County
Agricultural
Society,
which
what
all
that
means
is
that
there
is
a
proposal
for
a
fence
to
section
off
a
new
camping
area
at
the
fairground,
and
this
fence
is
on
sort
of
what
I
think
of
as
the
the
back
of
the
fairground.
C
It's
not
on
the
Union
Street
side,
but
it
would
be
along
I,
believe
that's
Jefferson
and
which
runs
parallel
to
Blick.
That
helps
people
to
visualize
sort
of
where
this
is
so,
maybe
not
so
much
the
back,
but
the
side
yeah
of
the
the
side
and
it
is,
but
it
is
not
adjacent
to
Union
Street
they.
They
would
like
to
have
permission
to
put
up
a
fence
to
section
off
a
camping
area
or
ideally,
I
believe
for
the
fair
in
August.
G
H
The
Fairgrounds,
the
the
house
that
was
there
has
been
demolished
and
removed,
and
director
Stone
noticed
that
there
was
some
land
being
moved
around
with
a
large
bulldozer
and
realized
right
away
that
that
was
work
that
was
going
on
within
the
cities
plotted
it's
kind
of
a
continuation
of
Jefferson
but
parallels
Herald.
Drive
issues
indicated.
H
I
should
also
state
that
there
is
another
platted
alley
within
the
fairgrounds
that
they
would
also
like
to
have
that
used
under
a
special
right-of-way
permit
as
well.
I
want
Council
to
be
aware
that
the
fairgrounds
unto
itself
during
the
Civil
War
there
was
an
awful
lot
of
federal
troops
that
were
marshaled
and
mustard
and
marshaled
out
of
the
fairgrounds
one
individual
in
particular.
There's
a
historical
marker
down
there.
That
speaks
to
sergeant
major
Milton
Holland,
who
was
an
African-American
Soldier.
C
H
The
special
right
permit
can
be
revoked
if
that
were
not
to
be
in
compliance
with
what
we
put
in
the
language
of
this
particular
right-of-way.
Permit.
So
I'm
asking
Council
to
consider
strongly
consider
adding
that
language
and
we
can
help
with
the
languages
we
craft
it
for
the
special
right
away.
Permit.
C
E
Oh,
thank
you,
mayor,
I,
appreciate
that
a
potential
addition
that
you
proposed
that
sounds
wonderful,
but
I
want
to
go
in
a
little
different
direction.
I'm,
not
sure
if
we
can
really
talk
about
this
at
all
I
just
said
this
is
my
ward.
I
know
people
who
own
the
townhouses
across
the
street
and
and
I
personally
would
not
be
thrilled
in
terms
of
my
property
values
to
have
big,
honk
and
ugly
chain
link
fence
there.
E
J
C
And
we
certainly
have
had
it
often
images
of
of
the
proposed
fence,
as
in
our
previous
I,
the
previous
item,
we
considered,
they
include
a
artist
rendering
or
picture
of
the
fence
they
intend
to
put
up
on
West
Union.
So
we
could
request
I
believe
that
that
would
be
a
reasonable
request
that
we
could
ask
for
more
details
regarding
the
appearance
and
the
type
of
fence
they
intend
to
put
up
yeah.
It
just
specifies
chain
link
events
and.
E
To
be
honest,
thank
you,
so
I
want
to
follow
up
on
what
you
just
talked
about
I,
completely
appreciate
that
they
would
want
to
have
a
barrier
to
prevent.
You
know
people
from
coming
in
and
not
paying,
but
I
have
to
wonder
if,
perhaps
and
again,
maybe
I'm
just
off
on
this,
but
could
they
have
a
fence
on
the
other
side
where
the
where
they
actually
go
into
the
part?
In
other
words,
the
part
the
campground
is
outside
of
where
you
can
get
in
and
actually
do
stuff
in
the
fair.
H
K
C
G
Just
for
clarification,
the
request
that
they
need
is
just
for
the
portion
that
crosses
that
alley.
Correct,
oh
God,
I
mean
I
I,
believe
in
the
city
of
Athens.
You
still
have
to
get
a
permit
to
put
up
a
fence,
but
they
are
requesting
this
right-of-way
use
in
this
application,
which
is
just
Those
portions,
of
the
very
end
of
the
fence
on
the
south
and
on
the
North.
C
C
C
F
F
F
F
The
map
there's
five
faces
behind
yeah,
but
I'm
talking
about
this
response
to
that
yeah,
but
it
was
five
right
there
at
the
back
of
Larry's.
You
know
that
parking
lot
there,
the
whatever
that
electrical
supply
company
is
but
those
first
five
right.
There
I
mean
you're
sitting
right
in
the
middle
of
Yogi
Bear's
Campground.
H
There
there's
that's
where
the
camp
is
right
now
is
in
that
area,
so
they're
talking
about
expanding
the
camping,
but
it's
not
like
there
wasn't
camping.
Now,
all
of
a
sudden
there's
going
to
be
camping
because
that's
generally
the
spot,
especially
for
all
those
who
bring
animals
for
4-H.
You
know
so
they're
close
to
where
their
animals
are
all
those
kinds
of
things.
So
this
is
really
nothing
new.
F
A
H
C
B
J
J
So
the
the
design
is
for
is
for
roundabout
at
the
682-56
intersection
there.
So
ODOT
has
reviewed,
because
we
were
talking
about
two
State
routes
that
are
intersecting
in
that
particular
location
and
have
determined
that
a
roundabout
is
warranted
in
that
particular
location.
So
the
design
is
for
roundabout
in
that
space
has.
H
Shut
down,
I
can
certainly
submit
you
know
the
plan
would
be
much
like
the
Richland
or
the
I'm.
Sorry,
the
Stimson
Avenue
roundabout
to
where
traffic
was
diverted
to
to
one
side
as
the
construction
was
going
on
and
we
built
half
the
roundabout
and
then
diverted
to
the
other
side.
I
mean
that
will
be
the
optimal
way
to
treat.
C
E
E
Okay,
so,
as
you
know,
I
live
in
University
Estates.
That's
my
ward
and
there's
been
some
communication
back
and
forth
regarding
the
fairly
close
proximity
to
the
University
of
States,
Boulevard
access
and
also
lurig
road.
So
what
we've
been
requesting
is
that
we
would
like
to
have
as
part
of
this
design
process
and
as
for
future
discussion
about
what
can
happen
there,
we
really
need
a
right
turn
lane
into
University
Estates
coming
up
682.
E
We
need
a
left
turn
lane
into
lurig
Road
we're
going
to
have
hundreds
of
new
drivers
right
across
the
street
in
those
apartments
over
the
next
couple
of
years,
so
that,
in
addition
to
the
other
traffic
we're
already
seeing,
we
think
that
it's
appropriate
to
request
that
that
be
part
of
this
process
and
I
have
lots
of
documentation
to
ver
to
to
justify
that
which
we've
already
shared
with
the
city,
so
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
it,
although
I'd
be
happy
to.
If
you
want
me
to.
E
I
recognize
that,
but
it's
so
close
and
the
ramifications
of
those
changes
would
further
justify
I.
Think
having
this
taken
care
of
and
I
know
that
this
is
not
odot's
responsibility.
It
is
the
city's
responsibility
we
have
talked
to.
Odot
talked
to
Regional
Planning,
Commission
Etc,
and
it's
very
clear
that
this
is
a
city
responsibility,
and
so
it
seems
reasonable
to
take
that
into
consideration.
H
Okay,
having
said
that,
we're
now
we're
talking
about
two
completely
different
things:
we're
talking
about
a
potential
city
project
at
the
base
of
University,
Estates
and
perch
on
green
and
this
being
the
ODOT
project.
That's
happening
at
the
intersection
of
682
and
56.,
and
we
can
again.
We
can
certainly
continue
to
explore
what
could
be
done
in
the
vicinity
that
you're
speaking
to
and
you
know,
maybe
applying
we're
gonna-
have
to
continue
to
put
together
a
capital
stack.
I.
Think
Council
needs
to
understand
that
as
well.
H
That
1.4
million
dollars
is
not
necessarily
going
to
mean
the
price
tag
of
a
new
roundabout,
we're
going
to
continue
to
go
after
other
ODOT
funding,
and
it
is
possible
to
as
we're
looking
at
other
ODOT
funding
that
we
look
for
other
funding
that
possibly
corrects
changes
the
intersection
or
the
stretch
of
682
that
you're
referencing.
It's.
B
E
One
more
point,
though,
as
part
of
this,
there
was
supposed
to
be
my
understanding:
was
there
supposed
to
be
a
sidewalk
by
Kershaw
green
all
the
way
to
the
well
we'll
be
the
roundabout
and
then
going
towards
the
elementary
school
and
a
crosswalk
across
because
there's
the
bike
path
there.
So
that
is,
should
be
part
of
this
as
well.
H
We
got
notification
back
from
the
grant.
That
is
safe
routes
for
all
I
believe
something
like
that
to
where
we're
applying
to
get
a
sidewalk
that,
as
you
just
indicated
and
is
correct,
that
it
would
have
gone
down
682
near
the
roundabout
and
then
all
the
way
out
to
Morrison
Gordon
Elementary
School
and
we
did
were
not
awarded
that
Grant
we're
gonna.
We're
gonna
apply
again
with
the
hope
that
we
get
that,
because
I
think
that's
that's
just
vital
in
terms
of
getting
pedestrians.
E
H
It's
getting
a
little
bit
off
topic,
you
know
with
the
roundabout
and
this
funding
you
know.
I
can
certainly
talk
with
you
offline,
because
okay,
now
you're
talking
about
something
that
has
had
to
do
with
with
water
Cooper,
that
did
the
construction.
Where
you
know
they
were
the
the
owners
of
the
property.
Okay,.
K
A
K
H
Intersection
I
mean
that
is
part
of
that.
The
application
process
in
which
we
were
awarded
that
where
they
recognize
that
incidents
at
the
again,
the
intersection
of
682
and
56,
scored
to
where
they
funded
us
to
have
to
to
build
this
project
to
deconflict,
as
well
as
the
vehicle
stacking.
You
know,
let's
be
real
five
cars
at
a
traffic
light
and
it
happens
as
a
traffic
jam.
But
this
this
little
certainly
alleviate
that
as
well
on
682
and
56..
J
It
does-
and
this
is
very
similar
to
what
we
were
just
discussing
about-
how
the
the
grant
funding
works
so
stemson
Bridge,
we
were
awarded
3.2
million
dollars
for
construction
of
that
bridge,
we're
seeking
funds
again
for
for
design
which
we're
required
to
to
pay
for
and
then
it
is
also
an
80
20
match.
So
we
will
have
to
come
up
with
20
additional
funding
for
that
project.
F
L
Rob
delac
Morris
Avenue
here
in
the
city
just
want
to
make
a
point
really
I
made
it
before.
When
this
project
came
up
for
discussion
months
ago,
is
Simpson
Avenue
Bridge,
there's
lots
of
Runners
and
Walkers
that
cross
that
bridge
currently,
and
it
would
be
nice
to
see
pedestrian
improvements
on
the
bridge,
maybe
moving
the
lanes
over
a
little
bit.
H
It's
kind
of
like
me,
yes,
pain,
a
little
bit
bigger
picture
of
this
project.
Aside
from
from
repairing
slash,
replacing
some
of
the
bridge
decking,
which
is
significantly
needed
right
now.
It
would
also
include
pedestrian
passageway
across
that
bridge,
because
you're
right,
it
is
the
bridge-
is
wide.
It's
got
a
wide.
H
It's
a
it's
a
good
sized
Bridge.
It
would
include
lighting
much
like
the
rest
of
the
decorative
lighting
that
we
see
in
the
city
of
Athens,
so
it
would
have
new
Lighting
on
the
bridge
itself
crossing
over
and
then
we're
also
looking
at
doing
some
accent
lighting
on
the
steel
superstructure
of
the
bridge
below
to
make
it
look
more
attractive
as
you're
crossing
the
bridge.
But
the
plan
is
to
yeah
create
sacred
passage
to
get
across
the
river,
especially
for
those
who
enjoy
frequenting
bong
Hill.
L
I
might
have
one
more
comment
about.
This
is
consider
the
bike
path
going
under
the
bridge
that
currently
is
not
lit
and
I've
heard
complaints
from
a
number
of
community
members
that
it's
it's
a
barrier
to
people
early
in
the
morning
running.
They
come
from
the
University
and
they
don't
go
under
that
bridge
because
they
don't
feel
it
safe
and
they
turn
around.
If
there's
a
restroom
put
in
at
the
fire
station,
having
lighting
under
the
bridge
as
part
of
this
project
might
be
useful
too,
there
will
be
that's
good
excuse.
K
K
This
is
for
project
320
and
we're
looking
at
an
increase
of
350
000
from
the
store
Fund
in
order
to
install
a
new
system
with
a
different
design.
The
system
is
intended
to
remove
water
from
sludge
and
right
now,
the
system
in
place
is
only
operating
at
50
percent
efficiency,
which
adds
to
our
expenses.
So
this
is
a
time
sensitive
matter,
and
our
city
and
Safety
Services
director
would
appreciate
our
support
for
this
in
increased
appropriation
and
authorization
questions
from
the
committee.
Yes,
don't
swim
for
Swank
two
cross
questions.
F
K
To
the
first
question,
we
are
talking
about
a
relatively
new
system
that
we
wouldn't
have
expected
to
need
a
new
design
on,
but
we
are
or
sorry
new
components,
but
I
don't
have
an
answer
to
the
question.
The
second
question
about
the
lifespan
of
the
replacement
design,
which
wouldn't
be
selected
yet.
J
It
is
sort
of
a
larger
system
for
dewatering.
Dewatering
is
a
process,
this
particular
process.
We
currently
use
a
conveyor
and
press
system
which
was
new,
but
we're
contending
that
there
were
design
errors,
because
the
the
water
content
in
the
sludge
is
much
higher
than
what
was
specified
and
what
that
means
for
us
is
when
the
water
content
is
remains
in
the
sludge
we
take
that
away
and
we
have
to
pay
the
Tipping
fees
for
disposal.
That's
we're
paying
for
that
water
that
should
be
pressed
out.
J
J
Imagine
a
giant
screw
that
pushes
the
the
sludge,
this
is
kind
of
gross,
but
it
pushes
it
and
then
essentially
dries
it
down
to
a
to
a
lower
moisture
content,
which
is
a
more
sustainable
operation
than
what
we
it's
more
in
line
with
what
we
expected.
The
reason
why
we're
asking
for
this
and
and
the
corrections
is
you
know
we
are
currently
resolving
the
the
challenges
with
the
the
designer
and
the
construction
team,
and
that
may
take
a
while,
but
we
still
have
to
be
operational.
F
K
Thank
you
for
the
question
and
response
other
questions
or
comments
from
committee
members
I'll
just
specify
again.
This
would
be
350
000
from
sewer
fund
750.637
transaction
code
500,
and
this
would
be
a
time
sensitive
matter
that
we
would
want
to
accelerate
once
we
bring
it
to
council
questions
from
other
council
members
Administration
in
the
additional
comments.
K
G
G
This
is
our
city
Administration,
looking
and
preparing
for
the
summer,
we
occasionally
have
a
number
of
pool
season,
cancellations
for
rentals
at
the
at
the
city,
pool
in
terms
of
weather,
caused
cancellations,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
there's
enough
in
the
rec
fund
refund
line
prior
to
council's
recess
in
July.
So
this
is
a
one
thousand
dollar
appropriation
in
order
not
to
have
complications
during
the
month
of
July
for
the
refund
line.
Are
there
any
questions
about
this
appropriation?
Yes,
member
Eisner.
I
G
Believe
the
city
Administration
believes
it'll
be
it'll,
be
the
appropriate
amount
of
money
to
cover
okay,
other
questions
from
the
committee.
Other
members
of
council,
City,
Administration
I,
need
to
add
members
of
the
public.
Okay.
Moving
on
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
appropriation
of
215
000
to
the
capital
fund,
this
is
for
the
this
building.
G
H
Just
briefly,
as
you'd
indicated,
you
know
215
000,
it
will
include
returning
the
Bell
to
the
belfry,
putting
a
clock
mechanism
in
the
four-faced
clock
which
the
face
is
there,
but
there's
no
arms.
There's
no
mechanisms
inside
so
we'll
we'll
bring
the
clock
back
to
life
again
to
include
Lighting
in
the
cupola.
J
Like
to
add,
also,
you
know,
armoring
the
cupola
and
and
helping
with
with
water
tightness
will
help
the
council
clerk's
office
as
well
to
protect
that
for
the
future.
But
it
is
a
it's
very
exciting
we're
looking
at
about
115
000
for
the
clock
and
Bell
portion
and
improving
the
cupola
and
approximate
100
000
for
for
TB,
a
portion
of
that
is
assessment.
J
We've
talked
with
several
conservators
that
are
looking
at
the
project
and
one
of
the
quotes
I
got
back
was
it
seems,
complicated
and,
and
it
is
complicated
because
of
how
heavy
was
attached
at
the
water
treatment
plant
to
safely
remove
her
and
and
keep
her.
You
know
intact
and
safe
and
then
and
do
the
improvements
so
I'm
very
excited
about
this
and
making
her
available
to
the
public
to
view
again.
G
G
This
position
has
changed
hands
in
terms
of
the
person
in
the
position
and
it
has
been
the
payroll
cost
for
this
position
was
approved
from
2022
2022,
2023
and
2024
for
22,
2022
and
2023,
and
then
the
2024
appropriation.
When
we
go
through
that
budget
process
later
this
year,
it
will
be
included
there
tonight,
we're
just
acknowledging
and
and
thanking
the
the
courts
for
getting
this
grant.
