to

Councilmember
Butler
is
not
able
to

but
all
other
council

Our

and

I

motion
to
approve
the
minutes.
Second,.
D
C
A
D
C
You
I
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
I
had
heard
some
very
good
things
about
the
Athens
Police
Department's
for
recent,
a
situation
where
they
had
stopped
a
person
who
was
apparently
stealing
packages
on
montrose
avenue
and
who
was
Karen
eggs
and
sealed
weapon
and
I
just
wanted
to.
Although
I've
been
known.
E
C
E
Don't
know
if
it's
as
much
a
communication
as
an
announcement
and
James
Stanley,
who
is
one
of
our
city
prosecutors,
will
be
leaving
in
January
early
January
to
take
the
positioner
become
meigs
county
prosecutor
and
a
new
attorney
will
be
joining
our
office.
Her
name
is
Jessica
branner
and
she
will
be
a
city
prosecutor
when
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
her,
she
will
join
us
in
January
and
she's.
E
F
Those
money's
coming
in
to
through
the
garbage
fund,
the
other
communication
I
have
is
that
I've
received
a
couple
letters
from
residents
who
live
in
the
Dalton
area
near
the
two
houses
that
are
used
to
be
the
wine
national
forest
ranger
stations
or
more
homes,
structures
and
concern
about
what
those.
What
ultimately
happens
with
those
properties
were
talking
to
about
for
Dalton
and
to
Dalton,
and
that
will
be
discussed
tomorrow
in
the
planning
commission
as
we
move
forward,
but
just
wanted
everyone
to
be.
No.
A
And
I
don't
think
we
have
any
communications,
then
from
the
auditor's
office,
so
we'll
move
on
then
to
ordinances
for
third
reading.
The
first
one
is
ordinance:
149,
16
and
ordinance
declaring
certain
vehicles
no
longer
needed
for
a
municipal
purpose,
and
this
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Pappy.
Thank.
C
G
F
Just
have
a
brief
comment
on
that:
I
had
a
conversation
earlier
today
with
the
mayor
of
cool
bill
who
was
interested
in
these
vehicles.
Not
as
part
of
the
process
is
that,
among
the
other
things
that
can
be
done
with
the
vehicles
with
disposition,
donation
to
another
municipality
is
one
of
those
they
were
looking
for
a
police
cruiser
and
there
wasn't
a
cruiser
in
that
list.
But
again,
this
ordinance
kind
of
speaks
to
what
the
different
ways
in
which
vehicles
can
be
what
the
disposition
can
be
up.
Those
vehicles
donation
is
wanted.
Okay,.
A
D
A
B
You
Madame
president
I,
and
hereby
make
a
motion
that
we
adopt
150
16.
This,
of
course,
is
our
annual
budget.
This
will
be
for
2017.
A
spreadsheet
of
the
budget
is
a
home
everyone,
a
computer
and
it
lists
by
the
departments
and
what
the
various
funding
lines
are
for,
but
to
cut
to
the
chase
or
budget
for
next
year
looks
to
be
40
million
one
hundred
four
thousand
and
five
dollars.
No
sense,
that's
what
we're
voting
for
it.
B
A
B
B
B
A
A
D
A
Those
opposed,
nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved
now
we'll
move
on
to
ordinance,
152,
16
and
ordinance,
adopting
a
fringe
benefits
package
for
non-union
personnel
within
the
city
of
Athens
and
repealing
all
ordinances
inconsistent
there
with
and
declaring
an
emergency,
and
this
is
introduced
by
the
finance
and
Personnel
Committee.
Thank.
A
So
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
amend
the
language
as
described
by
councilmember
Reisner
and
its
defining
the
pay
period
beginning
the
year
and
then
also
the
number
of
hours
as
I'm
understanding
the
language.
You
read
to
us
correct,
ok,
so
the
motion
and
a
second
to
amend,
152
16,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
C
B
C
B
A
C
A
Nay,
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved
ordinance.
153
16
is
an
ordinance
amending
Athens,
City,
Code,
Title,
7
traffic
code,
chapter
7.02
equipment,
loads
to
add
sections
for
operation
of
low
speed
under
speed
utility
vehicles
or
a
mini
truck
upon
any
street
or
highway
within
the
city
of
Athens
and
declaring
an
emergency.
This
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Pappy.
Thank.
G
G
So
we
have
had
conversation
over
the
last
couple
months
in
consultation
with
service
safety,
director,
the
mayor,
ohio
university
staff,
the
Chief
of
Police,
the
Chief
of
Police
from
Ohio
University,
discussing
the
usage
current
usage
of
these
type
of
vehicles
and
how
we
wanted
to
consume
them
operate
on
our
streets.
So
this
is
our
third
reading
for
this
ordinance.
A
And
as
I
understand,
we
do
have
an
inspection
system,
so
it
calls
for
headlights,
taillights,
horn,
windshield
and
a
variety
of
requirements
that
need
to
be
met
and
directional
signals
in
the
lap
belt,
and
that
is
also
part
of
the
state
law.
Okay,
all
right.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
for
approval
of
153
16.
Are
there
any
other
additional
comments
or
questions
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
nay,
we
have
one
negative
vote
and
so
six
to
six
to
one
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
A
G
B
D
B
Movably
adopt
154
16
before
we
vote,
I'd
like
to
read
the
the
ordinance
section
1,
the
2016
appropriation
ordinance
1
2015
is
hereby
amended
by
appropriating
from
the
unappropriate
of
balance
of
some
of
500
6420
dollars
to
sewer
debt
fund.
758
TC
404,
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
design
loan
increase
in
the
total
appropriations
by
set
them
out.
C
A
A
Is
there
any
other
business
that
administration
or
council
members
are
aware
of
where
the
auditors
author,
you
all
right
now
we
have
an
opportunity
for
citizens
to
speak
on
legislative
items
and
city
services
not
covered
on
the
agenda,
and
is
there
anybody
that
wishes
to
