From YouTube: Athens City Council Meeting 03-24-08
Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
B
Would
mention
that
this
is
rezoning?
A
section
between
will
be
the
Louis
Lewis
retail,
the
restaurant
section
and
the
Depot
itself.
A
small
wedge
of
property
in
between,
if
presently
is
the
whole
area,
is
actually
technically
a
manufacturing
zone.
But
since
it
was
developed
as
a
PUD
at
the
time
and
fell
through
the
cracks
in
terms
of
whether
you
could
have
residential
or
not,
and
since
was
state
city
property
at
the
time
and
still
is
it
kind
of-
was
not
required
to
have
a
zoning
change.
B
This
piece
of
property
is
not
owned
by
the
city
and
therefore
has
to
go
through
a
rezoning
change
due
to
work.
The
recommendation
of
the
Planning
Commission
is
to
go
from
a
manufacturing
industrial
zone
to
an
r3
which
is
multi-family
residential
I've
heard
some
feedback
from
citizens
who
are
recovering
idea
and
obviously
didn't
want
to
come
with
something
about.
B
They
would
like
to
see
more
commercial
there,
so
they
would
actually
where
they
were
to
bring
up
to
me
the
idea
of
putting
it
as
a
b3
rather
than
horses,
but
I'd,
say
the
recommendation
for
Planning
Commission.
It
is
r3
and
that's
all
I
really
have
to
say
about
it.
I
read
a
lot.
I've
been
doing
a
lot
of
reading
on
this
and
there's
a
whole
stack
of,
and
history
of
the
depot,
with
its
various
people's
names
on
I
recognize
right.
B
A
C
President,
because
I
was
cleaning
out
some
papers,
I
found
over
30
591
an
ordinance
that
concerns
me
a
little
bit.
It
was
passed
on
the
2nd
of
December
1991
and
it
who
made
some
changes
and
it
would
still
I
think
in
operation
because
it
wasn't
the
rezoning
had
to
do
with
how
we
do
the
city
would
allow
development
to
take
place
and
I
think
Oh
35
91
at
at
the
least,
would
have
to
be
perhaps
some.
C
Suspended
or
or
reversed
or
whatever,
because
it
says,
I'm
well,
there
are
a
number
of
things
that
are
there.
I
think
we
were
gonna
pass
it
out
to
you,
but
haven't
gotten
around
to
it.
I
have
200
reasons
why
I
haven't
at
this
point
that
they're
almost
all
done.
First
of
all,
the
section
one
said
that
some
William
Tremblay
was
granted
a
number
of
variants
to
permit
provision
of
parking
on
an
adjoining
lot
under
other.
C
C
West
Union
the
standard
anyway
goes
on,
who
talks
about
the
depot
land
space.
Some
I
personally
was
involved.
I
think
that's
the
only
thing
I
ever
voted
on
at
the
station
project
and
I
remember.
We
were
told
that
it
was
going.
We
were
going
to
rent
out
that
front
triangle
for
a
spaghetti
for
parking
for
a
spaghetti
warehouse
that
was
going
into
that
building
and,
of
course,
it
never
materialized
that
we
have
a
lease
for
a
dollar
a
year
forever.
C
And
if
it
seems
to
me
that,
since
what
well
police
has
done,
we
have
no
choice
on
his
about
a
40
year
lease.
So
they
think
I
have
to
carry
hunter
repeatedly
if
we
could
get
rid
of
it
and
we
couldn't
anyway.
I
think
that
oh
three
13591
would
really
like
to
go
over
that
and
review
what
the
implications
are
for
over
13591.
C
With
respect
to
the
present
rezoning
before
we
go
much
further
and
to
that
end,
I
did
ask
the
mayor
to
consider
this
mayor,
not
the
previous
one,
to
consider
rezoning
our
space
o
open
space,
which
would
permit
the
parking
and
would
be
in
keeping
with
what
was
in
the
previous
work,
but
at
the
same
time,
for
for
the
reason
that
open
space
would
permit
parking
and
we
would
have
the
best
the
design
done.
According
to
the
present
standards,
with
respect
to
landscaping,
it
would
look
better
than
it
doesn't.
D
This
is
a
recommended
change
in
the
the
zoning
of
the
area.
So
when
we
make
zoning
changes,
it
goes
through
the
Planning
Commission
and
through
City
Council.
The
Planning
Commission
has
an
option
of
having
a
public
hearing
and
they
waived
it's
right,
their
right
to
a
public
hearing
in
lieu
of
City
Council
having
our
required
public
hearing.
So
everyone
didn't
receive
a
copy
of
that
memo.
D
But
you
know
it
just
is
a
little
bit
of
an
unusual
request
and
I'm
really
grateful
that
member
Bane
did
dig
out
the
documents
from
when
this
and
unit
development
came
through
because
Planned
Unit
development
sin
a
way
can
serve
as
a
voting
overlay,
so
their
their
use
is
approved
for
that
land,
even
without
changing
the
base
zone
that
that
area
has
already
been
through
a
planning
process
and
and
been
approved
by
the
Planning
Commission
and
by
council.
So
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
will
happen
after
the
hearing
is.
E
B
Yes
mayor
while
well
two
things:
one
I
know
what
you
were
asking
for:
a
site
map
which
I
have
not
received
about
this
particular
zone.
I
think
you
were
asking
me
that
Nancy
last
at
the
last
committee
meeting
and
I
think
there
might
be
one
available.
B
A
B
Once
you
presented
to
them
and
I
look
over
their
shoulders,
how's
that
sound.
F
A
D
D
C
A
A
A
B
A
A
I
have
no
objection
from
a
number
of
counsel,
while
one
of
the
people
that
have
an
ordinance
here
tonight
await
some
papers
to
show
up.
We
do
have
two
presentations
that
we
are
going
to
be
going
through.
How
would
council
feel
about
something
to
one
of
those
first
and
then
come
back
to
our
special
session?
Were
there
any
objections
that
a
public
hearing
is
done?
The
public
hearing
is
done.
Okay.
Thank
you,
okay,
seeing
no
one
wishing
to
make
any
further
comments.
A
E
A
H
That
introduce
myself
I'm
Pete,
warrior
I'm
with
the
Athens
Soil
and
Water
Conservation
District
and
I'd
like
to
thank
council,
the
mayor
and
the
staff
of
the
city
for
inviting
us
here
to
give
a
little
presentation
on
who
we
are
and
what
we
are
and
to
kind
of
reaffirm
our
relationship
with
the
city
of
Athens
in
providing
technical
assistance
and
educational
assistance
on
matters
of
natural
resource
conservation,
I'm,
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
supervisors
and
with
me
I,
have
the
vice
chairman.
Harold,
Dodd
and
I
also
have
Cathy
Bobo
over
here.
H
Who
is
district
manager
and
I
feel
that
I
work
for
Cathy,
rather
than
the
other
way
around
and
Cathy,
is
the
one.
Who
is
the
point
of
contact
person
for
the
Soil
and
Water
Board.
She
works
very
directly
with
the
safety
service
director
and
she
is
the
person.
That's
there
at
the
office
every
day
and
Maja's
and
runs
the
office.
H
So
the
salon
and
water
districts
were
formed
back
in
the
30s
by
the
federal
government
to
act
as
the
community
liaison
between
the
federal
government
and
the
local
community
in
terms
of
distributing
funding
to
the
local
communities.
We
still
perform
that
function
today
and
we
have
very
close
relationships
with
the
US
Department
of
Agriculture
and
our
CS,
and
all
that
Cathy
explain
that
a
little
more
detail.
H
The
need
for
technical
assistance
and
educational
program
will
continue
to
grow
and
I
just
wanted
to
assure
you
tonight
that
the
Ephesus
and
Water
Conservation
District
will
be
there
to
serve
you
so
I'm,
going
to
turn
the
program
over
to
Kathy
now
and
I
think
she
can
explain
what
we
do.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
I
My
vision
is
leaders
in
responding
to
the
changing
conservation
needs
of
rural
and
urban
communities
for
providing
quality,
technical
and
educational
assistance.
Espy
also
mentioned
there
is
a
Southern
Water
District
in
every
County.
We
happen
to
have
been
formed
on
the
May
10th
of
1946
and
we
were
the
47th
district
to
form
in
Ohio.
We
are
governed
by
a
board
of
five
supervisors,
two
of
which
you've
met
here
tonight
and
again,
our
mission
is
to
promote
the
white
shoes
and
enhancement
of
our
natural
resources,
Athens
County's
natural
for
current
and
future
generations.
I
I
Any
citizen
that
is
18
years
of
age
residing
in
the
county
is
eligible
to
serve
as
a
port
supervisor,
and
anyone
that
is
18
years
of
age
and
either
owns
land
or
resides
in
the
county
is,
is
able
to
vote
for
supervisors
and
that
actually,
our
election
actually
takes
place.
During
our
annual
meeting,
which
is
in
the
Falls
each
year,
you
all
are
invited
to
come
if
you'd
like
to
our
current
staff,
consists
of
a
district
manager,
the
district
technician,
the
conservation
education
coordinator,
that
is,
part-time,
administrative
assistant
and
an
intermittent
equipment
manager.
I
I
Some
of
the
technical
systems
that
we're
able
to
provide
to
the
residents
of
this
well
Athens
city
residents
and
the
county,
even
our
soil,
home
site,
drainage
and
erosion
evaluations
as
well
as
landslip
evaluation.
And,
of
course,
we
can't
forget
the
agricultural
assistance
that
we
provide
to
our
agricultural
community.
That's
kind
of
our
base
roots,
how
we've
got
started
and
we
certainly
can't
forget
to
specifically
provide
to
them.
I
We
also
provide
assistance
for
riparian
buffers,
detect
the
waters
of
the
state
and
also
the
streams
in
Athens
County
and,
as
you
can
see,
we're
going
to
fit
that
you
have
there
with
the
streams
with
riparian
buffers
along
the
stream.
I
guess
we
all
have
to
remember
that
we
live
in
the
watershed
and
we
all
live
downstream
of
someone,
so
what
we,
what
they
do,
affects
us
and
what
we
do
affects
them.
The
other
important
part
of
our
program
is
our
education
program.
I
Harold's
theory
is
if
we
can
educate
our
youth
about
our
natural
resources,
protection
of
our
natural
resources,
as
well
as
recycling
hands
with
their
program
we'll
be
doing
good
and
I
think
we
do
a
pretty
good
job,
but
we
all
know
that
education
is
a
continual
thing.
Last
year
we
provided
145
presentations,
education
programs
to
close
to
4,700
people,
and
some
of
those
programs
included
school
programs.
Those
are
the
some
of
the
piece
that
we
did
with
the
school.
I
We
have
workshops
for
both
adult
and
youth
education,
I'll
put
a
quick
plug
in.
We
have
a
conservation
connection,
tour
coming
up
in
April
the
19th,
and
it's
actually
there's
going
to
be
at
the
drive
of
your
stuff
tour
and
there's
four
stops
that
we're
going
to
visit.
It's
windy,
hills,
horse,
farm,
Gainesville,
Park
with
our
new
sewage
treatment
facility,
GreenEDGE
Gardens,
which
is
an
organic
vegetable
farmer
and
Jeff
and
Michelle
Greenfield,
who
in
SunPower
we're
going
to
tour
their
home,
and
it
runs
on
solar
and
wind
energy.
I
J
I
I
I
have
some
information
for
you
too,
but
this
is
it.
This
is
a
an
excellent
program,
and
last
year,
at
the
this
happens,
high
school
team
won
the
area.
Competition
and
represented
us
at
the
state.
Competition
and
I
know
that
we've
had
some
teams
from
Athens
representives
at
the
national
competition
as
well.
Nancy's
son
is
one
there's.
Teams
I
knew
she
was
you
familiar
with
mrs..
I
Actually
2008
marks
that
20th
year
for
the
Ohio
Envirothon
we've
had
really
good
success
with
it.
The
other
big
program
that
we
do
is
the
third
grade
water
fest
it's
held
at
Athens,
High
School.
We
work
with
the
ecology
Club
there
and
the
students
peer
teach
as
well
as
they
have
about
12
to
15
other
agency
personnel
come
in
and
set
up
stations
that
the
third
graders
can
rotate
around
and
it's
an
all-day
event
and
we
have
close
to
home.
I
Actually,
we
average
about
500
students
at
this
event
so
and
it's
coming
up
soon
here
and
they're,
just
some
other
education
activities
that
we
offer
some
outreach
activities
is
the
district
provides
a
$500
district
scholarship
for
students
pursuing
a
career
in
natural
resources
or
agriculture,
and
actually
the
deadline
for
that's
the
28th
of
this
month,
which
is
Friday.
So
if
you
know
of
anybody,
that's
interested
have
them
see
me
and
then
we
also
provide
a
scholarship
for
a
forestry
camp
which
is
through
House
military
Association
and
that's
at
Camp,
Muskingum,
I,
believe
and
I.
I
I
Communications
through
public
service,
those
are
some
of
the
things
we
do.
Next,
we
have
a
newsletter,
that's
getting
ready
to
go
out
here,
real
soon,
you're
getting
a
first
glimpse
of
it
there.
That's
that's
the
front
page
of
our
nixon's
that
are
going
out
and
and
if
you
want
to
be
on
our
newsletter
mailing
list
by
all
means
we're
glad
to
put
you
on
there.
I
Some
of
the
service
programs
that
we
offer
to
the
residents
in
the
county
and
some
you're
probably
familiar
with
again,
is
the
seedling
sale.
You
guys
have
probably
purchased
some
of
the
tree
seedling
sale
tree
seedling
tree
seedlings
through
our
office
I
think
we
are
each
about
40,000
of
those
things
we
handle
it.
As
you
can
hear
we're
right
in
the
middle
of
of
that
right
now.
Actually
and
then
the
other
big
one
I
think
is
the
aerial
photos
we
have.
I
We
have
a
lot
of
a
really
nice
supply
of
historical
photos
in
our
County
and
we
get
a
lot
of
people,
that's
interested
in
coming
in
looking
at
those
seeing
how
the
land
has
changed
over
time.
I
think
we
have
them
as
far
back
as
1939
is
in
there
and
I
think
maybe
twelve
thirteen
year
increments
up
to
the
eight
1980s.
So
so
then
my
question
you're,
probably
thinking
which
is,
is
I,
guess
basically
because
in
working
with
the
mayor
and
Yahoo
through
the
land
development
ordinance.
I
F
B
I
J
I
I
Yeah,
so
that's
why
we're
here
tonight,
I
guess
just
to
kind
of
give
you
enough
that
update
on
what
what
we
do
for
you
with
the
land,
development
ordinance
and
you
go
I'm
sure
familiar
with
the
land
development
ordinance
and
basically,
what
it
is,
is
a
document
that
requires
planning
to
prevent
some
of
those
pictures
that
you
just
saw
stormwater
that
address
the
stormwater
management,
erosion
control
and
land
slips,
and
the
reason
this
we
kind
of
got
involved
in
this
is
back
in
the
90s
late.
There
I
think
finally,
late
80s,
Early
90s.
I
Yeah,
okay,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
development
pressures
issues
going
on
with
the
city
down
on
the
East
End
and
that's
where
you
saw
some
of
those
pictures
from
and
so
because
of
some
of
the
flooding
and
the
stormwater
problems.
There
were
the
district
conservationist
that
was
in
our
office
at
the
time.
Rick
Patrick
had
the
foresight
to
say:
hey,
we
can
help.
We
can
help
you
guys
with
this.
You
know,
let's
put
together
some
type
of
an
ordinance
to
to
plan
for
some
of
these
things,
and
so
from
91.
I
Guess
I
should
say
that
there
is
no
fee,
no
there's
no
fee
inside
the
city
or
outside
for
either
either
place.
You
guys
are
paying
for
that
at
this
point,
and
the
last
thing
I
guess
we
have
here
is
that's
in
the
the
Memorandum
of
Understanding
is
to
provide
some
erosion
control
of
stormwater
management
training.
That's
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
the
discussion
was
to
be
able
to
provide
some
training
for
some
city
employees,
because
I
guess
they
are
looking
at
some
of
these
job
sites.
I
As
far
as
you
know,
what's
acceptable,
what's
not
and
I
mean
when
they're
doing
some
inspection
types
of
thing
just
to
be
aware
of
you
know
best
management
practices
that
are
being
applied
or
they
being
applied
properly.
Are
they
making
a
difference?
That
kind
of
thing
so
with
that
this
is
my
contact
information
and
we're
glad
to
answer
any
questions.
If
you
have
any
my.
D
Question
is
really
related
to
what
kind
of
review
you
can
do
for
property
owners
or
developers
as
they're
going
through
the
process.
One
of
the
things
that
we
hear
often
is
that
it's
really
expensive
when
they
get
into
looking
at
the
engineering
for
a
stormwater
management
and
things
like
that
and
that
the
soils
engineering
you
mentioned,
having
a
relationship
with
an
engineer
is
that
something
that's
available:
that
property
owners
would
be
able
to
get
that
kind
of
technical
like
really
detailed
technical.
I
I
What
we
can
do
for
individuals
is
basically
do
the
soils.
Investigations
go
out,
determine
the
type
of
soil,
that's
there
and
give
them
the
characteristics
and
what,
if
there
is
any
limitations
that
they
have
that
they
may
be
faced
with
when
they're,
when
they're
actually
going
to
build
on
that
site?
It's
not
saying
that
they
can't
build
their.
This
is
just
saying
this
is
what
you
this
is
what
you
might
come
up
against
to
me.
I
B
Thanks
thanks
Kathy,
why?
The
reasons
why
we
wanted
this
to
be
presented
is
because
we
want
to
cycle
through
our
code
offices,
eventually
in
some
of
our
employees
just
so
they
they
know
you're
there.
That's
the
first
contact
to
recommend
you
for
homeowners.
It's
it's
I,
just
say
it's
the
first
step
to
decide
whether
they
need
to
hire
an
engineer
or
something
like
that.
So
it's
a
cheap
step
in
there
and
I
know
I.
Think
I
have
a
copy
of
your
soil
atlas
for
the
county,
which
I
find
very
instructive
yeah.
So
thank
you.
A
A
G
A
Myself
kind
of
wondering
about
the
contract
that
we
have
with
you
folks
and
I.
Maybe
my
question
really
needs
to
go
to
one
of
your
governors
there
in
the
sense
that
is
shortly
after
that
was
when
we
started
back
then
supplementing
your
budget
by
about
12,000
I.
Think
so
is
that
still
the
same
amount?
A
A
With
your
permission,
we'll
jump
back
to
our
secessionist
you're
rolling
are
now
in
receipt
of
the
aforesaid
mentioned
documents
that
we
needed
to
go
forward
so
called
a
special
session
bath
and
City
Council
March
24
2008.
We
do
have
a
forum
with
five
of
the
six
present
setting
members
of
council
frozen
ordinances
for
second
reading.
A
Jump
back
the
committee
mr.
Issa,
thank
you.
Oh
24:08,
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
mayor
to
submit
a
fiscal
year.
2008
community
housing,
Improvement
Program
chip
grant
application
to
the
office
of
Housing
and
Community
Partnerships
Ohio
Department
of
Development
and
designating
Hokkien
Athens
Carey
community
action.
You
see
as
a
community
health
improvement
program,
grant,
contract
administrator
and
declaring
an
emergent.
You
want
to
talk
to
the
mayor.
While
okay,
we.
A
M
The
city
of
Athens
has
been
resupplying
for
receiving
grants
through
the
chip
program,
which
provides
a
variety
of
housing
services,
since
2003
I
believe
was
the
first
one
that
our
agency
was
involved
with
and
our
agency
administers
as
synod.
The
application
administers
that
program
for
the
city
of
Athens.
We
obviously
get
paid
for
doing
that.
All
of
our
funds
come
out
of
the
administrative
budget
of
those
grant
applications.
M
Again
the
grant
was
submitted
2003
again
in
2004
for
a
two-year
period
in
2006
for
two
years
that
graham's
wrapping
up
right
now.
The
city
is
again
eligible
to
apply
for
funding
in
2008.
I
spoke
with
the
mayor
and
Paula
several
weeks
ago
to
go
over
the
some
changes
that
had
occurred
in
the
application
process
for
this
year.
The
more
I've
gotten
into
looking
at
those
changes,
the
more
that
will
affect
how
and
yep
an
application
is
to
be
prepared
and
I
just
thought.
M
It
was
fair
to
council
and
to
the
mayor
to
spot
those
changes
for
you,
so
we're
all
in
the
same
page
and
we
don't
build
up
expectations
or
we
know
what
the
prospects
really
are
for
receiving
this
fun
this
year.
Has
that
okay,
great,
that
pretty
much
summarizes
the
situation.
We're
in
I
was
head
of
training
six
weeks
ago.
M
The
state
conducted
and
the
application
process
has
several
changes
this
year
in
the
past,
applications
were
rated
scored
competitively,
and
it
was
certainly
advantageous
for
the
grantee,
in
this
case
the
city
to
come
up
with
match
money
for
the
Grand.
The
program
used
to
allow
there
was
a
source
of
match
money
that
didn't
require
the
city
donate
the
money.
M
If
we
provided
to
down
payment
assistance,
home
ownership,
assistance
for
a
family,
the
value
of
that
private
mortgage
money
was
counted
as
matched
for
the
grant
and
that's
what
we
did
we're
successful
doing
that
six
weeks
ago,
or
so
at
that
application
training
of
the
state.
We
discovered
that
the
state
of
Ohio
will
no
longer
allow
that
for
no
particular
reason
other
than
they
just
won't.
Allow
it
anymore.
M
That
has
an
impact
on
the
city's
grant
application,
because
in
order
to
get
those
priority
points
to
make
the
application
more
competitive,
other
funds
would
have
to
come
in
to
the
grants
and
I.
Don't
know
that
that
those
funds
are
available
now.
The
second
factor
that's
changed
is
that
in
the
past
state
always
encouraged
applicants
to
target
certain
areas
within
the
city
or
the
county
or
wherever
there
was
no
competitive
advantage
to
doing
that,
and
there
was
no
real
reason
to
do
it
and
we
didn't
do
it.
M
More
renters
students
typically
qualify
us
as
in
the
census
and
in
the
demographics.
The
state
looks
at
students
would
be
the
biggest
population
of
low
to
moderate
income.
People
in
the
city,
but
they're
all
renters
I,
think
it's
3/4
or
something
live
better.
The
housing
units
in
the
city
of
Athens,
your
rental
units,
so
we're
by
definition
only
going
with
the
quarter
of
the
the
housing
units
and
the
vast
majority
of
them
are
not
low
and
moderate-income.
M
M
Another
factor
that
is,
if
you
target
an
area
they're
gonna,
make
you
the
city,
contribute
or
budget
a
large
percentage
of
the
grant
application
into
that
target
area
and
then
come
up
with
other
resources.
Other
matching
funds
in
that
target
area
to
I,
don't
think
it
makes
sense
this
time
around
and
the
third
and
final
issue
is
not
I.
Don't
know
that
it's
necessarily
germane
now,
but
the
state
of
Ohio
because
of
reduced
funding
on
this
federal
level,
is
looking
at
grantees
revolving
loan
funds.
The
city
of
Athens
years
ago,
generated
some
revenue.
M
We've
only
been
in
business
for
five
years
and
there
hasn't
been
enough
time
for
any
of
the
paybacks
to
come
back
to
the
city.
Yet
there
was
money
in
that
housing
revolving
loan
fund.
The
state
of
Ohio
would
require
that
the
city
use
it
as
money
for
the
chip
application
that
could
be
used
as
part
of
the
match.
Money
go,
but
there's
no
money
there.
M
They
are
also
going
to
be
looking
at
every
applicants.
Economic
development
revolving
loan
fund.
If
there
is
a
sufficient
balance,
uncommitted
balance
in
there
are
LF.
They
will
require
that
the
applicant
use
that
money
for
its
chip,
application
again
I,
don't
know
the
status.
The
city's
economic
development
revolving
loan
fund,
if
it's
over
two
hundred
thousand,
if
there's
anything
over
two
hundred
thousand,
that's
not
committed.
M
B
There's
like
that
in
terms
of
24:08,
you
could
continue
with
the
reading.
That's
just
authorizing
me
to
do
it,
but
I
wouldn't
go
forward
unless
I
got
a
harder
look
at
our
finances
and
for
how
to
look
at
what
we
intend
to
actually
use
this
chip
money
for
at
the
time,
and
that's
why
I
brought
Doug
here,
because
I
realized
that
the
landscape
has
changed
for
this
type
of
grant
over
time.
D
M
B
M
For
counsels,
information
I
spoke
with
the
city's
field,
representatives
at
state
house,
office
of
housing
and
community
partnerships
and
just
kind
of
bounce
some
ideas
off
her
about
you
know
this
is
gonna,
be
tough
for
the
city
of
Athens
to
to
pull
off
this
time
around,
because
it
you
changed
the
rules
in
the
middle
of
game
on
us.
Well,
actually
right
at
the
end
of
the
game
and
I
explained
to
her
that
targeting
I
just
didn't
think
was
gonna
work
in
the
city
of
Athens.
M
She
understood
that
and
I
asked
her.
You
know
well,
that
is
that
gonna
hurt
the
city's
application
too
much,
maybe
maybe
not.
Who
knows
what,
if
we
don't
I
mean
there's
no
requirement
that
we
target
with
you
target,
there's
no
requirement
that
you
come
up
with
match
money
if
they
don't
come
up
with
any
matching
money.
What
happens
you
know
how
many
points
do
they
lose
because
an
applications
from
the
city
still
going
to
be
competitive?
M
Well,
maybe
I
go
back
to
2003
the
first
time
I
stood
here
and
told
council
I,
don't
think
there's
a
chance
in
hell.
This
application
is
going
to
fund
because
he
experienced
the
city
it
had
about
10-12
years
before
that.
Well
I'm,
glad
in
stake
my
reputation
on
that,
because
it
was
fun.
Okay,
the
next
year,
2004
I
said
you
know
you
we're
good
to
go
and
and
the
application
was
funded,
scored
grade
the
same
thing
two
years
ago.
M
Matter
of
fact,
I
think,
two
years
ago,
the
application
that
the
city
of
Athens
submitted
was
the
number
one
ranked
application
in
the
state
that
funding
round.
Some
of
that
is
not
my
doing
it.
Some
of
that
has
to
do
with
again
the
demographics
in
the
city,
yet
it's
somewhat
skewed
in
the
census,
but
according
the
census
happens
among
poorest
communities
in
the
state.
M
Any
application
submitted
by
the
city
of
Athens
gets
a
lot
of
distress
points
in
the
rating
scale.
There
may
be
enough
distress
points
to
override
the
lack
of
a
target
area
and
the
lack
of
matching
funds.
Who
knows
it's?
A
crapshoot,
okay
and
I
honestly
I
mean
I've
enjoyed
the
relationship
with
the
city
last
five
years,
very
hopeful
that
an
application,
whether
this
round
of
the
next
round
would
be
funded
loved
to
continue
that
work
with
the
city.
But
it's
up
to
you,
it
seems
to
me
there's
two
or
three
things
can
be
done.
J
M
Submit
the
application,
without
even
worrying,
about
meeting
some
of
these,
these
this
new
criteria
and
see
what
happens,
we
can
not
submit
it
all
and
try
and
lay
the
groundwork
for
submitting
an
application.
Next
year,
I've
talked
with
the
mayor
and
all
about
some
ideas
about
how
we
might
be
able
to
come
up
with
some
match
money
without
having
to
dig
it
out
of
the
city's
coffers.
I
think
that
might
work.
J
M
M
Application
deadline
for
this
is
May
7th
year,
so
we
have
seen
there's
a
couple
public
hearings
for
this
that
have
to
be
conducted.
One
of
them
is
scheduled
for
this
Wednesday
I'll
go
ahead
and
take
care
of
that.
So
it's
that
requirements
in
that.
If
we
proceed
and
certainly
give
me
two
or
three
weeks
down
the
schedule.
M
M
The
hearing
they're
saying
that's
very
convoluted,
but
there's
a
ton,
a
housing,
Advisory
Committee
meeting
Wednesday,
which
is
a
combination
of
the
cities
and
the
counties
advisory
committees.
They
convene
conduct
at
the
same
time
in
this
very
room.
At
the
same
time,
there's
going
the
city
is
going
to
conduct
its
first
public
hearing
for
this
chip.
Rent.
That's
a
procedure.
The
state
dissolved
wasn't
actually
encouraged
to
do
so.
M
L
Just
real
briefly
before
you
go
sure
if
the
city
did
commit
to
providing
matching
funds.
What
are
we
talking
about
here?
Will
close
for.
Q

Further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
of
adoption
of
ordinance
25,
the
late
I
proposed
the
ordinance
has
been
adopted,
coordinates
2808,
an
ordinance
closing
portions
of
court
Street
and
Washington
Street
on
Friday
June,
20th,
July
18
and
all
of
it
15
for
a
cruise
in
ordinance,
2908,
an
ordinance
closing
a
portion
of
Court
Street
between
Washington
and
State
Street
from
8
a.m.
on
Saturday
July
19
to
1
a.m.
A
E
G
A
A
N
A
On
discussing
this
further
in
committee,
we
don't
have
to
do
that
right
now.
We
can
discuss
in
committee
and
then
do
whatever
sure
why
don't
we
do
it?
Okay,
ordinance,
3308
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
Safety
Director
to
purchase
one
unmarked
police
vehicle
ordinance,
3408,
an
ordinance
establishing
the
allocation
of
sewer
service
charges
to
the
sort
of
death
done
758
limiting
operating
budgets
in
order
to
reduce
short-term
debt,
amending
the
2007
appropriation
ordinance,
a
proactively
to
January
108
and
declaring
an
emergency.
D
We
consider,
over
thirty
nine,
oh
eight
under
suspension
of
council
rules.
Second,
the
reason
for
the
suspension
is
there
is
a
deadline
for
the
grant
application
and
we
need
to
have
the
easements
and
the
rights
of
way
secured
for
that
grant
application
process.
We
are
not
committing
any
funds
to
this
project.
D
This
ordinance
accepts
a
limited,
warranty,
deed
from
hoster
clinic
and
declares
an
emergency,
and
this
is
for
a
portion
of
the
the
right-of-way
for
the
proposed
Road
and
there
will
be
three
other
ordinances
following
this
for
the
other
portions
of
that
road
and
I.
It's
my
understanding.
The
law
director
has
reviewed
the
documents
they
have
all
done
required
signatures
and
it's
all
good
to
go.
That.
A
I
think
when
we
have
a
special
session,
it
is
a
limited
agenda.
You
don't
have
all
the
things
that
we
would
normally
have
on
our
agenda
and
I
think
we
would
be
a
little
remiss
not
to
mention
that
we
did
receive
several
comments
from
community
members
and
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
email
messages
from
brandy,
Sexton,
Amanda,
McLain,
Jenny,
Farber,
Terrell,
Mingus,
Jennifer,
Bell,
Terry
Stotts,
the
Cleveland
and
a
Sara
Lee,
most
of
whom
I
think
worked
at
a
blintz
Ospital
and
have
raised
some
objections.
D
And
I've
responded
to
each
of
the
people
individually,
who
did
send
emails
explaining
that
we're
not
using
city
funds
for
this
project?
That
was
really
the
main
objection.
A
lot
of
folks
pointed
out
that
many
of
our
existing
city
streets
have
potholes,
which
you
know
Andy's
working
on
repairing
as
best
he
can
with
called
patch,
but
that
we
could
be
using
our
tax
dollars
to
maintain
existing
streets
and
really
expressing
concerns
about
whether
we
would
use
city
tax
funds
for
this
project,
which
we
are
not
doing.
D
The
the
ordinance
that
authorized
application
for
the
Parc
funds
I
think
was
passed
previously.
So
all
we're
doing
in
this
whole
series
of
ordinances
is
accepting
thirteen
and
easements
for
the
where
the
road
is
going
to
be
built.
So
Holzer
will
be
using
some
grant
funds
and
their
own
funds
to
construct
the
road
in
which
we
will
then
accept
as
a
public
road,
because
it
provides
access
to
I,
believe
four
different
properties.
A
P
A
Okay,
perfectly:
are
we
ready
to
adopt
all
those
in
favor
of
adoption
of
ordinance,

Thank

Mr.
president,
this
evening,
the
presentation
from
an
assembly
Prince,
who
is
the
director
of
Arts
West
and
she
and
I,
have
been
meeting
and
discussing
some
of
the
planning
and
programs
that
have
been
happening
and
I
have
been
attending
those
as
well
at
arts,
West
and
so
with
great
honor
and
I
judge
that
miss
Prince.
Thank.
T
You
Thank
You
counsel,
I'll,
be
very
brief.
I'll
give
a
very
broad
overview
of
all
the
wonderful
and
exciting
things
that
we're
doing
at
our
twist
and
invite
you
to
join
us
this
weekend
for
obs
teas
presentation
of
a
Glass
Menagerie,
Tennessee,
Williams
first
play,
which
is
Thursday
through
Saturday
at
8:00
p.m.
and
Sunday
at
2:00
p.m.
T
T
So
our
mission
is
to
make
facilities,
resources
and
opportunities
available
to
arts
organizations,
individual
artists
and
community
residents,
and
we
harness
focus
which
is
sometimes
difficult
for
all
individuals
engaged
in
the
creation,
performance
and
exhibition
of
the
Arts
and
promotes
activities
preserving
the
beauty,
heritage
and
culture
of
our
town,
and
so
here
is
a
couple
of
image
that
are
displayed,
so
you
can't
see
how
exciting
there,
but
it's
performing
arts,
music,
visual
arts.
We
have
meetings,
classes
and
workshops.
T
These
are
our
boards
and
commissioners.
We
have
an
advisory
consortium
which
is
a
non-voting
advisory
board
for
art
West,
which
is
Robert
winters
and
Michael
towbar
they're,
both
members
of
the
Arts
Commission
William
cook,
Constance,
Gabbard,
Barbara
Fiocchi.
You
can
read
this
linda
McVicker
Marilyn
and
Guy
Romano
Christina
Salerno.
T
This
is
the
Athens
Municipal
Arts
Commission
town
meeting
at
the
community
center
in
March
of
2005,
which
was
gathering
information
and
public
input
about
the
need
for
a
Performing,
Arts
Center.
So
there
and
you
were
there
and
you
were
there-
and
this
is
our
performance
space
prior
to
renovations,
and
these
are
some
things
in
support
of
our
mission.
We
have
a
200
seat,
accessible
performance
space,
a
parking
lot
Allah
be
with
kitchenette.
T
We
have
over
500
events
per
year,
so
far
access
to
the
Performing
Arts
to
over
2,500
schoolchildren
through
partnerships,
performances
and
classes,
and
that's
going
to
be
higher
this
year,
which
is
very
exciting
rehearsals
and
performance
spaces.
We
offer
incubation
to
area,
arts
organizations
and
individuals,
technical
support
to
local
theater
groups
and
musicians,
office
and
administrative
support
to
theater
groups
and
musicians,
and
here
we
see
some
very
famous
local
musicians,
JD
Hutchison
and
the
local
girls
on
our
opening
July
9
2000
play.
T
P
J
T
This
is
our
definition
of
incubation.
It's
touring
companies,
bands
activities
that
work
with
arts
West
as
a
home
base
and
perform
at
other
locations
in
the
community.
Some
of
these
activities
could
result
from
classes
and
workshops,
while
others
could
be
designed
from
their
very
conception
with
touring
as
their
specific
purpose.
Right
now,
we're
incubating
the
Aqua
bear
Legion,
which
is
a
collective
of
bands
from
all
over
the
state
of
Ohio
and
the
Appalachian
progressive
Education
Center,
and
this
is
a
picture
of
home
jacking.
T
T
Here's
a
brief
overview.
A
total
number
of
events,
including
Arts
West,
presents
rental
activities,
classes,
workshops,
art
exhibitions
and
meetings
for
2007,
762,
total
attendance
and
people
served
as
21,000
647
and
grants
and
gifts,
totaling,
56
thousand
five
hundred
and
eighty
three
dollars.
So
that
was
good
and
here's
some
more
detailed
list
of
the
grants
and
support.
J
T
This
was
this
year:
I
did
snuck
in
a
couple
2008.
This
is
project
reuse,
which
was
a
partnership
with
Reeves
industries,
and
they
did
a
reusable
Fashion
Show
and
our
own
mayor,
while
was
a
celebrity
judge
in
the
fashion,
show,
and
that
was
during
the
snowstorm.
But
we
had
over
a
hundred
people
in
attendance.
T
E
I'd
like
to
say
briefly,
Thank
You
Emily,
for
for
sharing
and
presenting
I
think
something
that
we
talked
about
in
our
discussion
at
her
at
your
office.
Was
that
frequently
in
the
community?
Your
events
happen
at
night
in
the
community.
We're
not
always
aware
of
what's
happening
at
arts
West,
because
those
of
us
that
might
be
driving
home
or
that's.
B
T
T
The
old
boiler
was
from
1964
because
I
found
the
receipt
and
it
was
about
forty
five
percent
efficiency
and
we've
moved
up
to
over
90
percent
efficient
now,
and
our
next
step
is
in
air-conditioning
units
for
the
facility,
which
are
from
the
early
80s
and
weren't,
designed
to
work
with
theatrical
lighting,
which
generates
quite
a
bit
of
heat,
and
we
are
not
100%
sure
that
we'll
get
through
this
summer.
I
know
I
keep
lands
and
buildings
very
busy.
Coming
by
to
check
on
that.
T
We've
we've
been
pursuing
grants
to
get
a
new
air
conditioning
system,
but
we're
looking
at
something
about
twenty-five
to
thirty
thousand
for
an
air
conditioner
which
would
include
insulating
the
attic
or
the
belfry
of
Arts
West.
So
that's
something
that's
definitely
going
to
come
up
this
year
was.
G
D
Just
want
to
say,
good
work,
I
think
you
really
impressive
report
of
the
different
activities
are
going
on.
I
know
that
a
lot
of
different
folks
in
the
community
from
a
lot
of
different
segments
of
the
community
are
using
the
space
and
really
appreciate
what
a
welcoming
place
it
is
for
people.
Thank.
T
You,
yes,
it's
very
exciting
and
we
haven't
had
any
rumbles
and
but
such
a
diverse
amount
of
use
from
children's
programming
to
punk
rock
shows
to
theater
to
the
law.
Swimming
go
theatre
company
they'll
be
putting
on
a
batboy
the
musical
in
May,
really
looking
forward
to
that.
Based
on
the
report
from
the
Weekly
World
News
batboy
found
in
the
cave
definitely
check
that
out.
K
P
N
13
repair
only
their
three
home
rehabilitations
and
one
down
payment
in
the
past
years,
he
has
informed
us
that
he
did
two
dama
payment
assistance.
She
said
it's
very
tough
again
in
terms
of
finding
you
have
to
have
a
you,
can't
exceed
a
certain
dollar
mil
for
mortgage
and
how
difficult
it
is
to
find
the
LMI,
individual
or
family
matched
up
with
a
home
based
home
value.
N
N
You'd
also
sit
one
of
the
other
suggestions
that
I
guess
that
would
take
more
time.
Maybe
a
year
would
laughs
before
we'd
apply
would
be
partnering
with
Habitat
for
Humanity
and
targeting
a
demolition
project
and
then
having
them
rebuild
and,
of
course,
we
know
there's
at
least
one,
if
not
two
in
the
city
that
they'll
be
pursuing
this
year
for
demolition,
we
have
a
vacant
house
as.
N
B
Keep
going
on
it
again,
all
you're
doing
is
authorizing
us,
and
if
we
decide
we
need
to
put
the
money
match
in
we'll.
Let
you
know
okay,
I
wanna
be
sure
we're
our
budget
is
before
I
go
and
commit
to
something
like
that.
I
want
to
investigate
more
of
a
revolving
loan
fund
and
just
find
out
the
ins
and
outs
of
that
I'm
cognizant
of
it,
but
I
do
not
know
how
they
apply
directly.
P
D
D
Never
poli
without
it
and
because
we've
done
some
downpayment
assistance
at
some
point,
people
should
pay
back
into
the
revolving
loan
fund,
but
that
hasn't
happened
so
far,
mm-hmm,
just
because
we're
pretty
early
in
that
process.
The
other
fund
that
was
mentioned
because,
with
the
Station
Street
project,
payment
that
goes
into
the
enhancement
fund
and
we
use
that
money.
It's
not
a
revolving
loan
fund.
G
L
Just
wanted
to
voice
strong
support
for
getting
this
submitted
and
I.
Think
it's.
If
we're
looking
at
ponying
up
somebody
for
matching
funds,
it's
with
the
payoff
of
bringing
$300,000,
possibly
into
rehabilitating
houses
and
getting
more
homeowner
occupied
houses
in
Athens
and
I.
Think
what
that
adds
to
the
community
far
outweighs
relatively
small
I,
don't
want
to
say
small!
Every
time
we
spend
ten
to
twenty
thirty
thousand
dollars.
That's
a
lot,
but
it's
relatively
small
compared
to
our
budget
and
I.
Think
that
the
the
payback
would
be
great
on
this.
Okay.
B
There's
also
the
question
of
the
target
air
we
have
to
determine
and
that
that
to
me,
I
need
to
look
at
the
dialogue
I
had
with
him.
Is
that
you,
you
know
it's
not
like
you
can
just
throw
it
over
the
whole
city,
yeah
pick
locations,
and
once
you
start
going
at
once,
you
pick
out
location,
we're
committed
to
that
location
and
again
it
sound
like
that
when
they
revamped
us,
they
weren't
really
sure
what
there
are
all
the
ins
and
outs
of
it
there.
B
P
D
R
I
was
just
gonna,
throw
a
few
things
out
there
about
the
revolving
loan
fund.
We
don't
talk
about
it
very
often,
and
I
can't
speak
to
whether
we
can
use
it
for
them
for
the
chip
funding
or
not.
But
you
might
recall
that
fund
is
operated
through
EDC
Gary
Sealy
and
we
have
three
loans
out
there.
Now
one
of
them
just
ended.
The
Athens
mulder
machine
Damons
is
still
on
the
list.
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
status
is
of
that.
R
In
recent
years
there
has
been
a
substantial
amount
of
money
in
there.
It's
been
harder
for
them
to
get
lungs,
there's
a
lot
of
paperwork
to
go
through
and
several
years
ago
the
interest
was
much
lower
than
what
you
could
get
at
a
bank,
and
it
was
more
appealing
now,
with
the
interest
rates.
Dropping
people
can
go
out
and
get
other
funding
and
not
have
to
go
through
the
paperwork
that
they
have
to
with
EDC,
and
so
that
money
is
there.
I
just
wanted
to
remind
you
that
we
used
that
money
to
purchase
our
twist.
N
R
N
Q
My
house
on
land
contract
was
just
coincidence
and
from
that
point
on
began
to
go
around
recruit
all
my
neighbors
and,
of
course,
as
you
see
how
things
have
moved
along
since
88,
and
we
have
a
mayor
sitting
here-
I
love
the
neighbor
everybody.
This
is
the
most
consolidated
single-family
neighborhood
and
probably
in
that
part
of
town
on
the
west
side
of
Athens,
so
I'm
saying
The
effect
of
a
king
of
a
community
Block
Grant.
It
was
that
it
affected
a
whole
transformation.
Q
P
P
J
R
K
R
It's
that
loan
payoff
season
time
is
what
we're
getting
ready
for
here
and
we've
already
started
some
of
the
process.
The
first
thing
I
want
to
mention
I,
had
brought
up
last
week
about
our
water
system
revenue
nodes,
which
is
also
called
our
EPA's
litigation.
Fine
coming
up
with
you
know
that
we
have
bond
council
operate
well.
What
happened
with
that
was
when
I
called
the
bank.
R
As
you
know,
there
are
a
lot
of
things
going
on
with
interest
rates
right
now
and
I
called
and
got
an
estimate
of
2%
for
what
our
loan
might
be.
When
we
do
this
in
May,
but
that's
not
said,
they
would
like
us
to
wait
till
closer
to
the
end
of
April
to
set
that
amount,
which
would
probably
be
to
our
advantage
anyway.
So
we're
going
to
start
the
paperwork
through
counsel
without
an
interest
rate
in
there,
but
we
will
have
the
interest
rate
by
third
reading
in
May.
R
If
that's,
okay
and
Debbie,
did
you
get
that
paperwork
from
Dennis
Rawley?
Oh
okay,
I
thought
so
so
anyway,
if
anybody
has
any
objections
to
that
I
mean
we
can
take
what
they
want
to
give
us
now.
We
can
wait
and
see
it's.
It's
still
gonna
be
much
better
than
what
we've
ever
in
the
past.
That's
for
sure!
So
that's
one
loan
we
have
coming
up
on
this
other
paper.
R
R
The
water
fund
has
not
had
the
funding
issues
a
certified
this
had
in
recent
years,
but,
as
you
recall
not
very
long
ago,
we
moved
almost
almost
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
$182,000
out
of
the
water
fund
and
into
the
sewer
fund.
Well,
actually,
the
total
was
even
more
than
that,
almost
$250,000
for
the
red
tackies
that
went
back
20
years
as
you
recall
that
were
totally
put
in
water,
and
now
we
split
down.
So
we
don't
have
the
money
to
pay
off
that
$200,000
loans
in
the
next
month
or
so.
R
One
year
one
year
note,
Hocking,
Valley
Bank
should
also
be
a
favorable
interest
rate,
and
then
we
need
to
do
a
few
things
like
appropriate
the
interest
to
go
ahead
and
pay
the
interest
off,
which
is
about
$7,000,
and
the
next
thing
would
be,
let's
see.
Well,
we
need
an
appropriation
for
that
EPA
litigation
note
and
that
paid
well
in
that
paperwork
just
came
through
from
Dennis
Rowley,
so
that
will
come
before
you.
R
Then
we
have
the
community
center
bonds
and
the
parking
garage
note,
East,
State,
Street,
notes
coming
up.
The
community
center
bonds
are
set.
Our
payment
schedule
is
sad.
That
was
a
16
year
bond
schedule
and
the
money
is
there
the
the
tax
taken
off
of
our
income
tax
revenue
that
goes
in
there,
and
so
that's
automatic
the
amount
that
we
pay
is
set
just
like
owd
a
loans,
it's
automatic
transfer,
but
we
need
$25
additional
corporation
for
interest,
not
sure
how
we
quite
miss
that
amount.
R
R
O
R
R
B
We
have
we
have
a
price
from
last
year
that
we
put
together
for
evaluation
about
72,000.
That's
actually
to
do
a
structural
analysis.
Do
the
drain
pipes
are
in
bad
shape.
We
would
also
want
to
look
at
eventually
as
a
lighting
system,
some
of
the
conduit
they're
shorting
out
slowly
and
that's
why
the
lights
keep
going
out.
This
is
the
you
know,
the
lights
I
think
on
that
I
forget
which
floor
it
is
if
I
can
imagine,
because
otherwise
the
kids
will
hang
out
there,
but
the
fact
is
they
will.
G
R
B
R
H
R
If
we're
still
on
track
for
200
thousand,
if
not
we'll
let
you
know,
we
have
a
little
bit
of
time
on
these,
but
we've
done
these.
We've
done
the
parking
garage
and
these
State
Street
know
through
our
bond
Council,
and
so
we
start
this
process
a
little
bit
at
least
talking
about
it,
because
he
does
our
paperwork
and
the
way
that's
been
handled,
it's
very
different
and
in
the
past
in
case
we
don't
pay
off
the.
R
R
But
in
the
past
we
have
gone
out
nationally,
where
our
bond
Council,
what
we've
advertised
nationally
and
there
would
be
star
mine
and
we
would
have
to
sit
by
the
phones
and
take
all
the
interest
offers
coupons
and
and
all
the
things
that
go
with
a
an
issuance
of
that
size
and
whoever
offers
us
the
best
deal.
As
till
we
go
with.
R
So
we
need
appropriations
for
all
of
this
stuff.
These
are
just
some
things
that
you
know
as
we
knew
the
original
budget
adopted
dealt
mostly
with
the
personal
services
and
some
of
these
other
things
weren't
quite
addressed
in
there,
and
we've
also
done
some
moving
around
between
debt
funds
and
funds,
as
we're
doing
with
the
sewer
fund,
where
we're
moving
some
of
the
payments
out
of
the
actual
fund
and
putting
five
and
two
just
keep
a
little
easier
to
track
and
front
by
two
fine.
R
R
J
R
R
R
I
think
I
would
rather
reduce
the
budget
now
and
then
see
where
we
are
instead
of
running
the
risk
which
is
discussed
with
you
before
all
those
reductions
in
appropriations
at
the
end
of
the
year
of
having
the
ability
to
spend
money
that
we
don't
actually
bring
in
throughout
the
year,
because
the
Appropriations
are
too
high,
we
can
always
increase
them
later
on
if
the
revenue
comes
in
and
they
need
money
I'd
rather
do
it
that
way.
So
this
worksheet
shows
a
total
decrease
of
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
in
the
community
center
fund.
R
R
J
K
R
G
R
Shows
that
the
center
column
is
the
two
thousand
seven
actual
expenditures.
A
total
is
eight
hundred
and
eighty
five
thousand
three
hundred
what
the
our
proposed
budget
would
be
about
nine
hundred
thousand.
So
it's
it's
not
much
more,
but
just
a
very
small
amount,
but
it
is
less
than
the
1
million
nine
thousand.
C
R
R
C
It
safe
to
summarize,
if
I
same
time
but
I
do
appreciate
it
down
before
I
make
my
generalization,
sighs
I,
do
appreciate
the
way
you
left
the
money
in
those
areas
that
we're
seeing
increasing.
That
would
be
natural
gas,
electric
and
fuel,
but
is
it
safe
to
say
that
the
first
part,
the
100's
our
savings
on
personnel?
The
sudden
the
increases
in
the
three
two
to
three
hundreds
are
mostly
administrative
support,
which
we
hadn't
budgeted
initially
right
right
and
then
the
last
things
are
reductions
that
are
small
but
in
the
areas
of
well.
R
C
R
C
P
R
J
P
R
P
R
E
R
Q
E
C
O
Know
some
of
you
I,
don't
know
all
of
you,
so
I
am
Gina
Jeremiah
with
the
Athens
County
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau,
and
quite
honestly,
I'm
here
to
answer
your
questions.
I
understand
that
you
had
concerns
last
week
or
some
some
concerns
were
raised
and
you
might
need
me
to
address
them.
I
think
that
I
addressed
some
in
an
email
to
you
in
terms
of
the
professionalism
of
Tim
Tyler,
who
I
am
sorry,
is
not
here
this
evening.
O
E
I
think
some
some
thoughts
relevant
to
this
issue,
or
maybe
concerns
about
safety
and
preparation,
my
ability
and
just
what.
K
O
O
We
have
either
hay
bales
that
were
prepared,
100,
110
hay
bales
to
put
up
for
air
bags,
I've
spoken
with
Dave
stirrer
voice,
who
has
been
involved
in
the
past
for
the
race
who
has
access
to
some
air
bags,
which
are
about
7
7
to
8
foot
by
4
three
to
four
foot:
huge
air
sacks,
basically,
which
I
understand,
are
much
more
comfortable
to
run
into
than
hay
down,
so
hopefully,
hopefully
we'll
get
them
that
it
looks.
I
spoke
with
Dave
today
and
he's
gonna
track
that
down.
O
We
also
have
a
200-foot
crowd,
control
fence
for
Court
Street,
and
you
know
I'm
sort
of
new
to
this.
I
don't
have
a
historical
perspective,
so
we've
put
together
a
committee
of
some
folks
who
have
been
involved
with
it
in
the
past
as
well
as
us
who
will
have
our
first
meeting
next
week.
So
Dave
is
on
that
and
as
Jim
fuller
and
Andy
Krauts
are
with
sport
Sciences
at
Ohio
University.
So
if
any
of
you
want
to
serve
on
that
committee,
that
would
be
wonderful.
G
A
A
So
that
is
the
precedent
that
I
really
think
that
council
members
need
to
consider.
Another
thing.
I
know
Tim
is
claiming
to
be
bringing
500
bicyclist
for
this
I
do
have
a
roughly
doubt
how
many
volunteers
that
takes
I
know
when
we
did
the
Criterion's.
You
know
there
were
race
is
going
on
Friday
nights.
There
were
races,
it
just
was
never-ending,
it
seemed
like,
and
when
these
people
are
running,
you
have
to
keep
crowds
back.
You
have
to
have
people
all
along
the
route
that
is
telling
people
I'm.
A
Sorry,
it
doesn't
look
like
anybody's
here,
but
any
second
right
around
that
corner
is
going
to
be
coming
a
bunch
of
it's
that
kind
of
a
thing
and
then
again
you
know
the
other
concerns
that
were
mentioned.
Thank
you
know
are
things
that
we
need
to
consider.
So
those
are
the
points
that
I
would
ask
your
committee
to
think
about.
D
I
would
also
I'm
kind
of
thinking
back
to
the
discussion
that
we
had
about
the
proposed
street
luge,
and
you
know
all
the
really
in-depth
meetings
and
consultations
that
happen
to
look
at
the
route
and
safety
and
make
sure
everything
was
okay,
with
the
fire
chief
in
terms
of
access
through
town,
given
the
number
of
roads
that
were
proposed
to
be
closed.
So
you
know
some
of
these
events
are
there
different
than
the
International
Street
Fair?
That's
closing
one
main
thoroughfare
and
some
little
bits
of
side
streets.
You
know
this.
D
This
event
like
the
street
luge
is
looking
at
closing
a
larger
number
of
streets
and
I.
Just
don't
know
if
we've
had
the
input
from
the
Safety
Forces
about
the
route
and
what
that
does
in
terms
of
access
through
the
rest
of
the
town.
I
know
when
the
the
proposal
came
forward
about
the
street
luge
that
we
there
was
a
pretty
detailed
review
of
what
the
safety
plans
were.
We're
hay
bales
were
going
to
be
actually
looking
at
the
documents
about
the
liability,
insurance
and
I.
D
B
The
original
format
I
think
you've
got
packets.
On
that
one
point
concerning
the
this
race
bicycle
race:
it's
going
to
take
it
around
in
front
of
the
Baker
Center
and
the
first
round
through
the
staff
meeting,
did
change
the
route.
It
basically
fell
back
on
the
old
brick
bacterium
route,
which
is
I.
Think
at
this
point,
I
can
bring
it
up
a
staff
meeting
again,
if
will
be
addressed,
I
suspect
numerous
times
you
for
the
event.
B
It's
I
think
most
the
police
and
fire
felt
comfortable
with
that
route
in
place,
because
that's
one
that
has
come
across
before
they've
seen
it
before.
As
you
know,
so,
I
will
bring
it
up
at
staff,
but
as
I
say
right
now,
the
it's
it's
a
much
more
condensed
and
familiar
route
than
it
was
originally
proposed
at
the
first
rendition
of
this
bike
race.
But
we
can
look
at
the
cost
and
again
we
can.
We
can
also
discuss
the
route
again
at
staff
meeting.
I
know
the
street
luge
was
a
little
bit
different.
B
Animal
was
new
and
it
was
taking
it
about
the
same
route
that
was
impacting
the
original
course
that
was
designated
here,
mostly
closing
off
the
Richland
Mulberry
Street
and
President
Street
Nexus,
which
was
done
acceptable
to
the
fire
and
police.
At
the
time
just
so-so,
there
has
been
discussion
already
on
some
level
of
safety.
I
suspect
there'll
be
more
as
he
gets
closer
yeah.
O
I
can
do
that
I'd
also
like
to
just
sort
of
respond
to
a
couple
of
things
that
were
set
up
here.
First
of
all,
you
know
I'm
I'm,
obviously
with
the
Visitors
Bureau
and
I've,
been
approached
by
Tim
back
at
the
end
of
November
early
December
to
assist
with
bringing
an
event
similar
to
the
previous
Britt
criterium
to
Athens
I've
only
been
with
a
bureau
for
about
a
year
and
a
half.
O
No
one
has
ever
asked
for
our
help
to
bring
any
similar
event
to
this
to
this
Uptown
area,
since
I've
been
there
or
I,
would
imagine
in
the
last
ten
years
anyway.
So
just
to
respond
to
what
you
were.
You
were
saying
about
having
a
little
bit
of
a
concern
bringing
in
an
outside
promoter
who
clearly
does
this
for
a
living
and
is
expecting
to
make
a
certain
amount
of
money.
O
So
you
know
it's
not
necessarily
my
place
to
go
out
and
seek
people
to
help
us
put
on
an
event
like
this,
but
if
somebody
comes
to
us
and
asks
us
for
our
assistance,
that's
my
job
and
I'm
happy
to
do
whatever
I
can,
which
is
why
I'm
here,
as
far
as
the
documents
looking
for
insurance
and
that
sort
of
a
thing
I'm
happy
to
produce
whatever,
is
you
need
again
I'm
I'm
new
to
this
part
of
it?
I,
don't
know
what
your
your
expectations
are.
O
So
I
think
that
it's
fair
to
ask
me
about
so
at
any
time.
If
you
want
any
of
that
information,
I'm
happy
to
share
any
of
that
review.
Tim
has
been
very
open
to
work
with
very
easy
to
work
with
and
very
responsive
whenever
I've
had
a
and
I've
had
a
lot
of
questions
and
I
do
a
lot
of
talking
so
I
have
to
I
have
to
ask
a
lot
of
questions
because
I
have
to
know,
but
at
any
time
any
of
you
have
any
concerns
or
questions
feel
free
to
email
me
and
I.
O
O
And
I
have
talked
to
a
few
other
local
people
in
in
Athens.
Obviously,
a
lot
on
this
and
Jim
has
been
involved
with
a
previous
race.
Also
and
I
know
there
have
been
issues
there's
there
whenever
you're
organizing
anything
this
this
large.
There
are
always
issues
for
the
people
who
are
involved
in
it
and
not.
Everybody
gets
along,
so
I
know
that
he
has
somewhat
of
a
history
in
Athens
some
people
who,
like
him
a
great
deal
and
enjoy
working
with
him
and
other
people,
had
tension,
that's
to
be
expected.
O
I
do
know,
after
talking
with
a
considerable
amount
of
people
about
Tim,
that
he's
done
a
lot
to
promote
bicycling
throughout
Ohio
and
people
like
coming
to
Athens
for
races
and
people
like
coming
to
Uptown
Athens
for
races,
and
this
is
a
very
good
economic
opportunity
for
Athens.
So
if
Tim
makes
a
couple
hundred
dollars
on
this
particular
race
or
whatever
it
is,
that's
in
the
budget,
I
can
tell
you
what
the
budget
doesn't
show
any
more
than
five
hundred
dollars.
Q
You
know
I
find
myself
excited
about
something
like
this
happening
in
Athens
again,
but
there
is
something
that
exists
now
that
didn't
exist
before
when
the
criterion
was
hearing
I,
wonder
if
councils
really
thought
about
that
at
the
street
level.
Is
that
the
lower
part
of
court
Street
was
the
bricks
that
were
installed
by
some,
not
so
significantly
skilled
people.
O
Q
Q
D
Just
to
be
fair
to
our
our
talented
and
hardworking
Street,
Department
I'd
like
to
say
there
are
some
pretty
unique
circumstances
in
that
block
of
court
Street,
where,
with
there
are
some
large
storm
tunnels
that
make
it
difficult
to
do
the
work
on
that
part
of
the
street.
They
had
a
very
limited
amount
of
vertical
space
to
work
with
to
try
to
level
those
and
they
were
using.
D
They
were
recycling
bricks
using
the
ones
off
of
Jeff
Hill
that
had
special
bumps
on
them,
because
it
was
a
steep
hill
and
they
were
designed
for
the
horses
host
to
be
able
to
get
a
better
purchase
as
they're
going
up
the
hill.
So
I
just
I
think
that
we
do
have
some
pretty
skilled
folks
working
the
mr.
cutter.
Anything.
J
A
B
J
C
Our
law,
our
paddling,
to
go
over
a
proposal
that
Jim
celery
brought
forward
concerning
outside
operations
and
Patrick
returned
information,
and
all
of
you
have
a
copy
of
it.
The
first
item
that
you
have
outlined
in
blue
is
OAB
407
and
to
I.
Think
Patrick
passed
that
to
each
of
us
to
show
us
that
there
are
all
he
thinks
in
the
noise
ordinance
and
also
in
the
zoning
code
articles
that
would
cover
what
the
citizens
that
live
north
of
them,
the
downtown
were
asking
the
10:00
p.m.
to
7:00
a.m.
C
there
section
of
a
lady
407
is
outlined,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
I
can
remember
this
pretty
well,
and
it
says
those
businesses
without
side
operations
that
have
noise
or
sound
between
the
hours
of
10:00
p.m.
and
7:00
a.m.
each
day
Sunday
evening
through
Saturday
morning
or
between
the
hours
of
12
a.m.
and
7
a.m.
Saturday
and
Sunday
mornings
in
such
a
matter
is
to
be
plainly
audible
at
a
distance
of
50
feet
from
the
building
structure.
C
C
C
It
wasn't
quite
asking
it
that
way:
I
was
just
wondering
if
they
were
aware
of
a
lot
of
times
things
kind
of
drop
off
the
edge
after
we
get
through
reading
a
few
times.
I've
noticed
you
know,
I.
Think
information
can
will
flow
more
readily
I've
seen
it
already.
So
you
could
ask
him,
you
know
here
we
have
it.
This
is
our
attempt
showing.

C
And
then
that
also
said
that
we
could
work
on
this
onei
code.
We
were
so
inclined
and
I
was
and
I
must
admit
that
I
don't
read
b3
general
business
zone
as
a
regular
practice,
but
I
was
surprised
at
what's
in
there,
and
this
would
be
on
page
23
16
butts
already
in
there
all
businesses
services
are
processing,
she'll
be
conducted
wholly
within
an
enclosed
building,
except
for
the
sale
of
automobile
fuel
lubricants
and
fluids.
I
suppose
you
could
say
there.
F
S
C
Displays
tortured
vehicles,
in
other
words,
sort
of
the
equivalent
of
a
gasoline
station,
and
then,
if
you
look
at
two,
it
says
no
building
customer
will
use
for
night
operations
and
I
realize
this
is
totally
out
of
date
and
why
we
really
need
to
revise
our
code,
such
as
a
bakery
or
milk
bottling
and
distribution
station.
All
the
same.
Anything
that
has
night
operations
shall
have
any
opening
other
than
stationary
windows
are
required.
C
C
Zoning
permit
it
the
problem
that
is
being
caused
in
that
neighborhood
and
then
we
could
say
commercial
recreation.
If
drinking
is
that's
what
it
is
under
six
at
least
200
feet
for
many
are
zones.
So
it
seems
to
me
that
the
existing
archaic,
outdated
zoning
code
that
we
have
already
covers
outside
operations
well.
S
Yeah
I
can
I
can
just
tell
you
that,
as
to
the
section
of
1
under
the
B
3
regulations,
there
I
know
that
I
had
spoken
with
the
code
enforcement
office
about
this,
that
it's,
how
we've
been
enforced
this
in
the
past,
is
to
interpret
where
talks
about
this
is
all
businesses.
Services
are
processing
the
they
basically
use
that
as
a
regulation
on
the
actual
point
of
sale.
S
So
so
long
as,
for
instance,
you
know
there
are
no
actual
sales
taking
place
outdoors
or
no,
you
know
people
aren't
able
to
actually
order
food
out
there
if
they're,
if
the
business
is
being
conducted
indoors
and
then
they're
just
taking
it
outdoors,
and
that
has
not
been
deemed
to
be
a
violation
of
that
section.
Always
that's
how
it's
always
been
interpreted
in
the
past.
So.
C
S
My
recommendation
on
that
had
been
I
mean
based
upon
the
letter
that
we
had
gotten
from
from
mr.
celery
and
in
the
previous
committee
meeting
we
had
talked
about
areas
within
500
feet
of
a
residential
zone.
My
recommendation
would
be
to
look
at
that
section,
3,
which
talks
about
eating
eating
and
drinking
establishments,
and
just
adding
that
into
there.
If
we
wanted
to
say
that
businesses
within
a
in
our
three
that
are
conducting
outside
operations,
that,
if
they're
within
500
feet
of
any
residential
zone,
that
they
would
have
to
cease
operations
by
a
certain
time.
S
C
C
S
K
C
J
B
J
C
I
was
just
I'm,
remember,
asking
Debbie
Walker
to
look
up
this
up
for
me
with
respect
to
my
new:
do
you
move
down
to
on
Columbus
Road?
You
know,
because
of
the
hours
of
operation
and
so
on
so
forth,
so
I
mean
the
hours
of
operation
are
important,
because
people
who
live
in
our
one
zones
that
are
often
close
to
be
three
zones,
have
reasonable
expectations
concerning
noise.
Okay,
so
the.
D
C
D
My
understanding
was,
there
was
some
resistance
to
the
use
of
strike
through,
so
it
was
a
little
difficult
for
folks
to
see
exactly
what
was
being
changed,
but
again,
I
wasn't
here
for
for
all
of
the
back-and-forth
about
that.
But
if
you
look
at
the
section
in
24
or
23,
Oh
407
about
VIII's,
it
used
to
say
eating
and
drinking
establishments,
and-
and
that
was
like
a
category
and
then
within
that
it's
at
drive-in
eating
and
drinking
places,
summer,
gardens
and
Road
houses.
D
The
principal
buildings
shall
be
at
least
200
feet
from
any
r1r,
so
it
was
not
all
eating
and
drinking
establishments.
It
was
drive-throughs
and
outdoor
places.
So
when
the
zoning
code
was
last
amended
in
looking
at
those,
it
was
all
those
specific
things
were
taken
out
and
it
was
left
to
apply
to
all
restaurants,
which
I
feat
by
theme
was
not
the
intention.
I
just
think
that
we
have
existing
restaurants
that
are
closer
than
that
to
residential
zones
and
don't
have
that
kind
of
impact.
I
think
original.
D
J
C
I
mean
making
decisions
that
they're
probably
not
really
prepared
to
me,
and
then
then
we
send
it
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
their
citizens
for
the
most
part
and
they're
not
planners,
and
then
they
change
it
around
the
way
they
think
it'll
be
better
and
then
we
get
it
back
and
it's
got
strikethrough.
So
you
know
I
wouldn't
begin
to
guess
what
we
were
thinking
at
the
time.
I.
C
C
You
go
through
and
you
think
oh
I
hope
to
goodness
nothing
changed.
That
was
important
in
this,
because
what
we
really
need
is
a
planner,
or
at
least
a
consultant
who
can
come
in
and
take
our
word
ease,
Oneko
to
make
it
reasonable,
but
in
the
absence
of
such
a
movement
at
this
point
in
time,
I
will
ask
for
water
activities
to
give
me
a
resolution
and
we've
been
voted
up
or
down
next
week.

J
C
Ready
grace
stood
in
front
when
the
liquor
permit
was
up
for
groanings,
and
he
gave
an
absolutely
fabulous
expert
witness
statement
and,
of
course
it
was
on
a
very
fine
point
about
whether
the
moral
moral
position
of
the
of
the
applicants
that
he
talked
about
how
this
is
really
a
unique
situation.
Likewise,
some
others
down
the
street
would
be
similarly
unique
where
you
have
the
terrain
and
the
facing
of
the
positioning
of
the
of
the
of
the
facility
are
such
that
they
create
a
nuisance.
In
this
very
specific
case.
C
F
C
C
C
P
C
C
C
A
A
A
Figure
why
that's
all
yeah?
That's
what
up?
That's,
how
I
remembered
I
remember:
it
started
off
with
classes
bench
breakfasts
and
it
grew
from
there
into
you
know.
Other
places
have
wanted
it
and
Sarah
was
mayor
and
she
basically
came
up
with
a
list
of
recommendations
of
what
how
wide
the
sidewalk
needs
to
be,
and
all
that
and
I
think
it
was
reduced
to
ordinance
form
and
that's
all.
It
is
I.
Think.
C
P
C
C
E
P
G
Q
It
takes
if
this
takes
up
a
lot
of
parking.
I
think
that
previously
existed
and
worked
well
and
makes
it
a
little
more
difficult
to
find
parking.
Downtown.
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
I
hope
that
the
Transportation
Committee
will
take
another
look
at
at
allocation
of
special
use
zones.
In
that
regard.
Thank.
P
Q
I
need
questions
about
that
specifically,
do
we
we,
as
citizens,
have
to
pay
a
fee
for
to
use
a
parking.
You
know
parking
years
or
whatever
the
business
businesses
as
far
as
out-of-town
business,
especially
that
use
the
the
loading
zones
and
such
the
question
is:
is
there
any?
Is
there
any
thief
or
that
do
they
have
I
mean
I?
Don't.
