A
B
Mean
and
welcome
to
Athens
City
Council,
it's
Monday
October,
2nd
at
7
p.m.
and
we
are
in
regular
session
tonight,
we'll
be
reading
a
series
of
ordinances
and
resolutions.
Our
first
item
of
business
is
to
establish
a
quorum.
We
have
six
of
our
seven
council
members
present
tonight
with
us.
The
second
item
of
business
is
disposition
of
minutes,
and
these
are
for
the
regular
session
held
September
18
2017
could
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes.
C
B
D
B
Nay,
the
motion
carries
and
these
minutes
have
been
approved.
We
now
have
communications.
I
have
one
item
that
I've
we've
received
an
announcement
that
Athens
Transit
is
having
a
free
day
on
Friday
October
6
all
day,
so
you
can
ride
to
places
and
get
to
the
bike
path.
Cells
park,
places
beyond
even
to
the
plains,
so
encouraging
people
to
take
advantage
of
that
are
their
communications
from
other
council
members.
E
It's
probably
transit.
This
Friday
is
also
Athens
there
you
stand
down
at
the
fairgrounds,
the
County
Fairgrounds
and
it's
from
10
a.m.
to
2
p.m.
anticipated
services
for
those
who
are
veterans
or
for
the
homeless.
Our
benefits,
information,
legal
services,
health
training,
food
boxes,
housing,

job
search,
information,
supplies,
haircuts
and

E
F
E
The
fairgrounds,
it's
doubt
the
fairgrounds
from
10
a.m.
to
2
p.m.
I,
will
also
be
down
there.
Reading
a
proclamation
at
the
beginning
of
that
homecoming
is
going
to
be
upon
us
this
weekend,
Saturday
I've
provided
counsel
with
the
map,
which
is
the
same
map
as
last
year
with
one
minor
modification
to
it.
The
staging
area
has
typically
been
down
on
on
factory
Street
factors
Street
and
Riverside,
which
is
down
by
Ohio
University's
parking
services.
E
E
The
route
is
going
to
be
going
up,
West,
Union
and
then
jogging
down
onto
South,
Congress,
/,
Richland
Avenue
over
to
President
Street
and
then
up
Court,
Street
to
Washington
Street,
and
then
crab
link,
traversing,
East,
Washington
to
college
and
then
College
it'll
be
heading
south
and
then
turning
once
again
onto
East
Union
and
then
disbanding
as
it
did
last
year
at
the
corner
of
Terrace
and
East
Union.
So
you've
got
that.
E
Coming
up
next
week,
tarik
an
October
8th
through
the
14th
is
fire
prevention
week
and
so
more
to
come
on
that
there'll
be
a
lot
of
fire.
Training
updates,
PSA
is
on
fire
and
fire
prevention,
and
then
finally,
I
showed
these
to
Council
last
week,
I
don't
know
if
this
can
come
up
yeah
you
get
a
good
screenshot
of
that.
These
are
we're,
calling
them
pucks,
but
these
are
the
Walker
wheels
carrier
boards.
E
B
You
we'll
move
on
to
ordinances
for
third
reading,
the
first
one
being
106
17.
It's
the
only
ordinance
for
third
reading
tonight
as
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
Safety
Director,
to
enter
into
an
LPA
state
project
agreement
with
the
Ohio
Department
of
Transportation
for
sign
replacement
on
us
routes,
3350
and
state
route
62
and
declaring
an
emergency.
This
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Pappy,
Thank
You,
president.
G
Nicely
I
moved
to
adopt
zero
106
17
and,
as
we've
discussed
in
our
committee
meetings,
the
state
is
taking
on
a
hundred
percent
of
the
cost
of
some
redesigned
signs
that
they
believe
are
more
visible
and
light
efficient
in
terms
of
especially
at
night
for
drivers
to
see,
and
they
want
to
replace
those
signs
within
our
city
limits
and
need
our
permission
to
do
so.
So
that
is
what
this
ordinance
about.
We.
B
A
B
Nay,
the
motion
carries
and
the
ordinance
is
approved.
We
have
an
ordinances
now
for
second
reading.
107
17
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
design
engineering
of
the
Richland
pedestrian
improvements.
This
is
project
311
and
introduced
by
councilmember,
pappi
and
I
do
believe.
We
had
a
citizen
who
wants
to
come
up
to
the
podium
to
citizens,
okay
to
come
up
and
make
a
comments.
Thank
you.
G
G
B
H
Name
is
Mary
Costello
and
I'm.
Speaking
on
behalf
of
myself,
although
I
I
do
have
friends
who
share
my
view,
and
one
of
whom
is
here
and
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
speak,
you
come
up
here
to
anyway,
I've
been
concerned
about
this
proposal
for
a
tunnel
I'm
concerned
about
that
crossing
as
a
driver,
I
I,
find
it
extremely
frustrating
and
I
have
wondered
all
all
along
why
there
isn't
a
pedestrian
light
there,
because
if
there
were
a
pedestrian
light
there,
the
students
would
bunch
they
wait
for
their
turn.
H
H
This
isn't
a
great
way
to
manage
this
problem,
so
I
would
love
to
see
a
pedestrian
light.
There
I
have
talked
to
some
people
on
City
Council.
It
sounds
like
there
may
be
problems
with
that,
but
but
I'd
like
to
know
what
they
are
and
I
would
really
like
to
see
that
solution
discussed.
It
would
be
a
lot
cheaper
and
even
if
the
tunnel
goes
through
we're
looking
at
a
couple
more
years
of
this
congestion
to
have
a
pedestrian
light,
at
least
during
the
interim
time.
H
So
anyway,
that
that's
pretty
much
my
concern,
I
I,
wonder
too.
If
there
had
been
research
done
to
see
if
people
would
actually
use
the
tunnel
and
I
have
one
more
concern,
which
is
that
a
lot
of
money
was
spent,
creating
a
wonderful
sidewalk
there,
taxpayer
money
and
I
suspect
that
that
will
be
disrupted
and
have
to
be
rebuilt
with
the
tunnel
and
and
that
that
concerns
me
that
we
would
have
built
that
sidewalk
and
now
we're
going
to
chop
it
up
and
build
a
tunnel.
H
B
I
I'm
gonna
work,
my
hat
because
all
the
lights
bother
my
eyes.
I'm
John
stofflet
live
at
7:00
Braun
Avenue
here
in
Athens,
and
I
was
just
listening.
If
the
sidewalk
is
replaced,
why
don't
you
make
it
get
to
a
mural
and
start
there?
The
idea
of
having
city
sidewalks
here
in
there
even
up
Court
Street
down
both
sides,
have
the
property
owner
and
the
city
get
together
cement
and
that
implant
already
designed
ceramics
and
that
kind
of
thing
to
make
images
that
the
owner
of
the
property
would
like.
I
C
My
name
is
Lee
Gregg
and
I'm.
Speaking
as
a
private
citizen
and
I'm
concerned
about
this
tunnel,
that's
been
proposed
and
money
has
been
obtained
for
it,
because
I
feel
that
what
I
don't
know
that
perhaps
there's
a
lot
of
research
I
understand
that
this
has
been
done
on
other
another
campuses
areas
and
other
cities
with
campuses.
But
I
didn't
see
anything
and
the
paper
there
was
no
discussion
or
that
I
was
aware
of
and
I
really
feel
very
concerned
about
this
amount
of
money.
C
It
doesn't
matter
whether
it's
a
grant
from
the
state,
it's
our
tax
payer
money
and
there
will
be
money
coming
from
the
city
as
well
and
we'll
dis
actually
be
used.
You
know
if
this
is
going
to
be
a
safety
concern.
It's
going
to
solve
problems.
Then
it's
well
worth
it.
But
if
there's
been
no
research
done
and
I
see
as
I
Drive
down
Richland
Avenue
and
I
used
to
work.
I
worked
in
Porter
Hall
for
decades,
see
students
crossing
that's
the
most
convenient
point
for
them,
and
now
we
have
going
to
Baker
Center.
C
B
You,
sir,
and
thank
you
for
the
comments.
This
is
a
second
reading,
so
two
weeks
from
now
we'll
have
a
third
reading
and
perhaps
there's
the
time
for
administration
to
be
able
to
address
some
of
the
questions
that
have
been
raised
tonight.
So
thanks
for
the
comments
we
appreciate
them
will
now
read
ordinance
one
zero,
nine
one
seven.
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
auditor
to
reduce
2017
year
into
pro
creations
and
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Reisner
ordinance.
One
ten.
B
J
J
The
amendment
is
that
is
because
engineering
Public
Works
had
another
request
to
add
another
vehicle
to
this
list.
It's
a
1967
dump
truck.
It
was
not
added
at
the
time
because
they
couldn't
the
the
title
was
not
located.
It
has
since
been
located,
and
so
they'd
like
this
added
on
to
this
ordinance
and
for
additional
information.
This
vehicle
has
three
hundred
and
seventy
three
hundred
fifty
eight
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirty
three
miles.
So
it's
definitely
been
used
to
extent,
and
so
that's
the
reasoning
for
the
amendment.
Okay,
so.
B
B
We
now
have
ordinances
for
first
reading,
ordinance,
114
17
as
an
ordinance
providing
for
the
issuance
of
423,000
$411
of
notes
by
the
city
of
athens,
ohio
and
anticipation
for
the
issuance
of
bonds
for
the
purpose
of
renewing
notes
previously
issued
for
the
purpose
of
paying
part
of
the
costs
of
acquiring
a
new
pumper
truck
and
related
equipment
and
declaring
an
emergency.
This
is
introduced
by
councilmember
riser.
Thank.
D
D
B
B
Thank
you
for
the
comment.
Ordinance
116
17
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
mayor
to
join
a
coalition
of
municipalities,
retaining
special
counsel
for
purposes
of
initiating
litigation
to
challenge
the
constitutionality
of
amendments
to
chapter
7,
18
of
the
Ohio
Revised
Code,
relating
to
municipal
income
tax
and
declaring
an
emergency,
and
this
is
introduced
by
all
members
of
council.
F
State
to
the
court
about
the
usurpation
of
Home
Rule-
and
this
is
an
example-
a
very
good
example
of
the
state
trying
to
claw
back
our
home
rule
and,
at
the
same
time
it
seems
every
time
they
do
that
with
you
know,
usurping
our
home
rule.
It's
also
usurping
money
that
comes
to
the
city,
so
we
are
going
to
be
gathered
partnering
with
a
lot
of
cities.
F
J
K
F
J
B
E
To
add
to
this,
you
know
in
talking
with
our
tax
administrator
Tina
Timberman
Tina
said
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
business
tax
that
if
we
didn't
fight
this,
that
income,
the
income
tax
for
business
or
the
business
tax
going
forward
would
be
$15,000
$15,000,
which
the
council
and
to
the
audience
here
may
not
sound
like
a
whole
lot
of
money.
But
what
that
is
one
foot
in
the
door
for
that
to
go
further
each
time
with,
wearing
and
eroding
away
home
rule,
we've
got
a
great
tax
administrator
who's
who's.
E
So,
on
top
of
things
to
the
point
where
the
Ohio
Municipal
League
engages
with
her,
often
as
to
other
municipalities,
so
I
really
encourage
Council
to
move
forward
on
this
as
we
do,
it
would
be.
Four
thousand
dollars
is
a
sliding
scale
for
municipal
municipalities
are
larger
than
us,
there's
also
which
didn't
exist
in
the
small-cell
lawsuit
a
scale
that
goes
all
the
way
down
to
municipalities
at
five
thousand
or
less.
E
So
it's
opening
the
door
for
smaller
villages
to
be
part
of
this
lawsuit
we
were
successful
under
small-cell
were
what
was
decided
upon
was
single.
Subject
where
other
things
were
being
pushed
into,
what
was
to
be
a
single
subject
issue
so
therefore,
and
as
the
law
director
has
indicated,
you
know
we're
looking
to
have
somewhere
in
the
order
of
fifty
to
a
hundred
and
probably
looking
more
on
the
high
end
of
other
municipalities
that
are
also
very
concerned
about
their
own
home
rule.
B
F
F
Administration
has
define,
septic
and
included
the
word
domestic.
So
that
means
that
there
would
not
be
any
industrial
Scarry
septic
going
into
our
wastewater
treatment
plant
and
personally
I'm
satisfied
with
the
changes
that
were
done
with
the
definition
changes
and
some
of
the
other
language
changes
for
this
ordinance.
Thank
You
mayor.
C
E
Was
another
comment
that
came
up
in
council
if
you
recall
a
member
cuts,
this
was
raised
the
question
as
to
whether
that
higher
flow
rates
does
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
run
more
efficiently.
I
did
speak
to
the
manager
of
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
and,
in
my
conversation
with
her,
what
she
informed
me
is
with
the
city
of
Athens.
We
have
such
a
strange
Evan
flow,
a
volume
that
comes
into
that
plant.
For
obvious
reason,
the
Siwan
schools
in
session
flows
go
way
up
when
school,
that's
out
in
the
beginning
of
May.
E
Those
flows
go
way
down.
So
it's
constantly
a
balancing
act
to
get
the
system
to
operate
efficiently.
At
any
rate,
the
other
thing
that
I
gleaned
from
the
conversation
that
I
had
with
her
was
that
at
higher
rates
a
lot
of
times
depending
on
how
high
that
is,
it
also
becomes
a
tough
balancing
act
with
everything
that's
going
on.
In
most
it's
sludge
on
the
sludge
end
of
things
and
having
to
balance
that,
how
long
do
you
keep
things
in
the
digester?
E
L
B
F
Cost
so
when
people
come
forward,
they
will
companies
they'll
have
to
pay
a
certain
amount
of
money
which
is
0.05
per
gallon,
so
I
don't
know
how
big
those
septic
sewage
sucking
plants
are
feminine,
thousands
of
gallons-
maybe
not
so.
This
is
charging
for
them
to
be
able
to
use
our
wastewater
treatment.
F
C
E
About
but
it's
it
is
five
cents,
a
gallon
for
receiving
septage,
which
our
wastewater
treatment
plant
council
knows
is
designed
to
do
that.
That
was
part
of
the
agreement
when
we
have
the
major
overhaul
of
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
to
translate
that
for
council,
as
well
as
those
who
are
here
are
here
tonight
at
five
cents
per
gallon
is
about
seven
to
eight
times
more
than
what
it
is
for
standard
residential
sewage
that
is
going
through
our
sewer
system
and
finding
its
way
to
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
E
I
also
want
to
mention,
because
this
was
again
in
the
previous
ordinance,
but
it's
timely
now
is
that,
in
conversations
with
our
city
engineer,
you
know
for
the
haulers
themselves
the
haulers
who
are
bringing
septage.
They
are
held
to
pretty
high
standards
mafic.
They
are
held
to
very
high
standards
for
what
they
are
hauling.
They
are
responsible,
that's
their
livelihood,
so
kind
of
going
back
to
the
good
versus
the
bad
versus
the
ugly
of
what
could
come
in
that
they
are
pretty
conscious
again.
E
This
is,
as
the
city
engineer's
informed
me,
this
being
their
livelihood
they're
tracking,
pretty
much.
What
they're
receiving
too
is
terms
of
what
they're
sucking
up
and
bringing
to
the
septage
receiving
station,
but
going
back
to
that
five
cents.
I
think
it's
important
for
the
public
to
know
that
there
is
a
difference
between
what
gets
hauled
in
and
and
received
at
the
septic
receiving
area
versus
what
comes
through
the
city
sewer
lines
into
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
I.
F
Think
that
it's
important
to
mention
because
of
the
definition
change
that's
in
the
previous
ordinance
that
there
won't
be
industrial
waste
and
definitely
not
fracking
waste.
So
people
should
rest
assured
and
I
and
with
the
wastewater
treatment
upgrade
that
we
did,
we
do
have
the
capacity
to
be
able
to
do
absorb
this
sort
of
hulling
and
at
one
point,
if
we
don't
have
the
capacity,
we
can
stop
it,
because
thank
you,
Verizon.
B
D
E
Reisender
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that
right
now,
I
can
certainly
find
out.
I
would
imagine
it's
an
account
system.
That's
set
up
as
each
truck
rolls
in
I.
Don't
know
whether
they
pre-register
there
aren't
really
all
that
many
haulers
and
when
it
comes
to
this
septage
were
talking
about
here,
which
is
in
the
ordinance
count.
M
D
D
No,
but
I
guess
my
point
is:
is
there's
not
so
much
do
they
have
it
the
ability
to
do
it,
but
would
we
have
the
the
methodology
in
place
for
such
an
event?
If
someone
just
drove
up
and
said
I'd
like
to
dispose
of
this,
could
it
be
done
and
could
someone
at
the
plant
say
oh
sheesh,
where
there's
no
problem,
we
have
a.
We
have
a
procedure
for
that.
It's
all
written
down
right
right
here.
This
is
how
we
do
it
and
that'll
be
somewhat.
Thank
you
very
much.
Yeah
good.

Athens

I
think.
Over

years
we've
worked
out
some
some
you
know,
difficulties
and
things
that
were
going
on
and

all
those

Thank
you
now
we'll
move
on
to
resolution
917.
This
is
a
resolution
of
the
athlean
City
Council,
declaring
that
the
facilities
decisions
of
the
Athens
City
School
District,
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
the
city
and
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Pappy
Thank.
G
G
The
city
of
Athens
Ohio,
section
1,
the
city
of
Athens,
is
a
vibrant,
diverse
and
intellectually
active
community
that
values
the
education
experience
of
its
citizens
and
the
planning
process
there
in
athens
city
council
through
legislative
decisions,
guide,
city
planning,
economic
and
infrastructure
improvements,
and
hereby
urges
the
athens
city
school
district
to
utilize
data
and
information
available
from
the
city's
commissions
and
committees
as
a
CSD
facilities
plans.
Move
forward
section
to
the
clerk
of
council
is
hereby
directed
to
transmit
a
copy
of
this
resolution
to
the
superintendent
of
the
acting
city,
schools,
section
3.
G
This
resolution
shall
be
in
full
force
and
effect
at
the
earliest
moment,
permitted
by
law
upon
its
passage
and
approval
by
the
mayor.
I
would
just
like
to
make
a
comment
about
this.
We
have
received
some
correspondence,
one
from
a
school
board,
member
and
several
other
emails
from
constituents
in
the
community.
As
third
word
representative,
three
of
the
schools
within
our
district,
two
of
the
schools,
West
elementary
and
East
elementary
many
of
those
residents
who
live
in
the
Third
Ward
attend
those
two
schools
elementary
school.
G
G
Not
only
do
I
need
to
hear
from
the
constituents
in
the
Third
Ward,
but
I
also
hear
from
members
of
this
entire
voting
community
and
that's
how
I
view
my
role
here
as
a
city
council
representative,
and
so
there
is
no
ulterior
motive
that
I
have
in
terms
of
bringing
this
resolution
forward
other
than
to
express
my
feelings
and
others
feelings
on
council
regarding
the
planning
process
and
that
we
believe
I
believe
in
the
city
that
there
will
be
impacts.
I,
don't
totally
know
what
those
impacts
will
be.
G
B
B
We
have
a
motion
and
second
will
now
open
it
up
for
discussion.
What
we'll
do
is
begin
with
council
members,
first
city
administration.
We
will
move
to
audience
members
who
could
come
to
the
podium
after
that
and
then
each
have
three
minutes
to
present.
If
they
have
some
comments
to
Bank
Council
members,
I'll
start
with
you,
some
overspending.
J
I
did
receive
communications
from
constituents,
as
have
all
of
our
all
council
members
and
I'm
sure
we'll
hear
some
from
some
tonight
I'm
unclear
what
problem
we're
trying
to
solve
with
this
resolution.
Part
of
the
resolution
does
urge
the
City
School
District
to
seek
out
information
and
data
from
Council,
but
we
do
have
our
mayor,
who
served
on
the
Facilities
Commission,
the
Facilities,
Committee
and
so
I
feel
like.
That
was
a
an
important
piece
to
bridging
communication
between
those
two
entities.
J
I
would
also
add
that
we
have
to
recognize
and
respect
that
the
City
School
District
has
its
own
elected
board
that
is
charged
with
overseeing
the
administration
of
the
school
district.
Their
goal
is
to
create
fair
and
equitable
and
sustainable
educational
system
for
our
students,
that
is
their
priority.
J
J
They
have
had
numerous
meetings
where
and
they
have
been
very
flexible
and
available
when
we've
members
have
had
questions
and
open
to
feedback
when
it's
made
available
and
I
think
once
their
decision
is
made
collaborate,
collaboration
with
load,
both
entities
will
be
made
easier
once
we
have
a
clear
plan
ahead
of
us,
but
we
have
to
respect
their
need
to
work
with
their
process
and
their
decision-making,
and
so
what
I
would
prefer
to
see
is
something
that
it
has
more
of
a
spirit
of
collaboration
than
what's
presented
before
us
tonight.
Thank
you.
B
L
Right,
thank
you
and
I
would
I
would
also
like
to
kind
of
echo
similar
similar
points.
The
thing
that
that
gets
me
on
on
this
piece
is:
is
that
being
on
City
Council
I
am
I,
am
in
charge
of
making
decisions
for
attendance,
we're
a
mile
radius,
which
is
the
city
of
Athens,
the
Athens
City
School
District
is
a
little
bit
over
88
square
miles
and
so
I.
L
Yet
the
school
board
is
still
working
on
this
and
they're
still
they're
still
moving
forward,
trying
to
work
through
the
process
and
make
sure
that
that
they
have
everything
figured
out
before
they
do
determine
what
plan
it
is
and
the
plan
keeps
changing.
You
know,
depending
on
whether
whether
they
find
that
their
their
parcels
are
not
large
enough
to
to
handle
the
schools
that
they
want
to
and
and
and
also
just
kind
of
gauging
what
the
community
is
is
providing
feedback
at
the
school
board
meetings.
So
I,
you
know,
like
you
know.
F
F
Said
well
that
made
me
that
may
work
and
that
may
not
as
a
city
planner
has
identified,
we
are
a
inclusive,
very
plan
oriented
community.
We
are
starting
on
our
comprehensive
plan.
We
do
sustainability
plans,
we
do
recreation
plans,
we
do
bike
and
pedestrian
plans
and
what
I
think
that
we're
trying
to
put
forward
on
at
City
Council
is
that
true,
the
the
school
district
is
large,
but
there's
a
lot
of
people
and
facilities
in
the
city.
F
They
have
to
do
with
school,
and
you
cannot
argue
the
fact
that
many
of
the
monies
from
those
citizens
go
forward
from
the
city.
What
I've
gotten
from
many
many
people
throughout
the
city
who
may
or
may
not
have
children,
they
don't
feel
like
they're
being
listened
to,
they
don't
they're.
The
planning
process
has
not
been
inclusive
and
I
think
that
people
would
like
to
just
say
there
are
other
information,
such
as
our
sustainability
and
our
comprehensive
plan
that
need
to
be
to
be
looked
at
during
this
process.
F
I
think
that
the
idea
that
you
can
go
and
and
at
the
steering
committee
and
stand
up
for
three
minutes-
that's
not
planning!
That's
not
an
inclusive
process
for
people
who
may
not
have
kids,
so
they
didn't
hear
from
the
PTO
and
because
this
is
a
really
large
impact
on
the
structure
and
the
Society
of
our
city
and
the
county.
I
think
that
what
we're
trying
to
say
is:
let's
work
together:
let's
do
things
by
consensus
and
identify
things
identify
you
know,
opportunities
and
identify
costs.
F
You
know
at
one
point:
there
was
a
rumor
that
well
we're
going
to
develop
something
and
there's
going
to
be
a
road
that
goes
up
to
it
and
who's
going
to
pay
for
the
road.
You
know
we
as
the
city
need
to
be
included
in
those
discussions,
because
that
has
a
huge
impact
on
the
infrastructure
that
we
built
or
the
infrastructure
that
we're
planning
to
build.
F
And
it's
not
really
a
good
process
to
have
people
talking
about
whether
it's
the
school
district
or
the
rumors
about
like
a
street,
that's
going
to
cost
1
million
dollars
and
who's
going
to
pay
for
it.
Well,
what
the
city
will
pay
for
it?
Well,
that's
not
good
planning,
it's
not
professional,
it's
not
inclusive
and
in
the
end,
run
because
there's
all
these
rumors
going
around
that
says
that
they
need
to
be
more
inclusive
and
use
the
city.
We
have
some
really
good.
D
Naturally,
when
things
begin
to
calm
at
8,
we
know
and
a
plan
is
developed
and,
of
course
the
city
will
get
more
involved
with
it,
but
at
this
stage
we
normally
wouldn't
my
concern
about.
This
is
two
things.
One
is
what
is
my
role
as
the
city
councilman
into
this
nth?
The
second
Ward
southside
of
athens
and
my
job
is
to
see
that
the
best
possible
things
can
happen
to
that
to
my
warden,
the
people
that
live
there.
After
that,
it's
the
city
of
Athens,
that's
my
concern.
D
That's
my
oath
of
office
is
to
the
city.
It's
not
the
Athens
County,
it's
not
the
any
other
entity,
so
I
have
to
concentrate
on
what
do
I
think
is
in
the
best
interests
of
the
city.
It
may
or
may
not
conflict
or
benefit
others,
but
that's
where
I
have
to
look
at.
That
has
to
be
my
point
of
reference.
D
What
I'm
concerned
about
here
is
that
there's
another
entity
involved
here
as
a
quasi
governmental
agency,
the
Athens
City
School,
District,
they're
elected
by
the
citizens
of
the
district,
which
includes
the
city
of
Athens,
but
other
municipalities,
country
in
the
county
and
I.
Just
don't
think
it's
a
good
policy
for
one
governmental
agency
to
be
colliding
with
another,
at
least
not
at
this
stage.
I
I,
don't
know
what
the
plans
are
yet
from
the
school
district.
D
So
that's
where
I'm
coming
from
when
this
looking
at
what
I
think
is
best
for
the
city,
I
think
at
the
moment
the
best
thing
to
do
is
let
the
school
board
proceed
with
its
normal
operations
and
then,
when
we
know
what
they
are,
then
we
can
jump
into
it
with
both
feet.
That's
why
I'm
standing
at
right
now,
Thank
You.
N
N
We
don't
know,
what's
gonna
happen
with
the
school,
the
school
district
as
such
commented
from
rusty
written
houses
emailed
to
us
in
which
he
acknowledges
that
the
school
board
has
not
finished
its
master
facilities
plan.
Yet
so
I
respect
that
I
acknowledge
that
there
are
rumors
out
there
and
they
concern
me
sometimes
but
again,
they're
just
rumors
I
do
believe
that
councilmember
poppy
is
not
being
adversarial.
My
interpretation
of
this
resolution,
which
is
non
legally
binding,
it's
just
a
resolution,
is
not
adversarial,
but
rather
in
the
spirit
of
communication.
That's
how
I
interpret
it.
E
Other
than
I
believe
you
know
last
week
in
in
times
past
I've
been
abundantly
clear
as
to
you
know
what
my
sense
is
and
what
my
feeling
is
as
the
chief
executive
to
the
city,
you
know,
and
the
only
person
in
any
role
close
to
that
on
the
steering
committee
I
was
very
clear
during
the
steering
committee
process
that
that
I
couldn't
imagine
the
city
of
Athens
being
with
with
zero
public
education
in
the
city.
So
and
I
will
continue
along
that
same
vein.
E
You
know,
vote
up
or
vote
down
anything
in
the
future
and
I
think
that
that's
something
that
our
city,
as
well
as
those
I
can't
speak
for
those
outside
the
city
limit
proper,
but
I
think
that
that's
appropriate
to
to
remind
everyone
that
the
electorate
will
decide
at
the
end
of
the
day
as
to
what
happens
ultimately,
wherever
this
goes
but
again,
I
as
I've
mentioned
in
the
past.
I.
Really
could
not
imagine
the
city
of
Athens
not
having
any
schools
in
here
which
again
my
I
saw.
E
B
O
Madam
President
is
a
matter
of
order.
I
had
planned
to
submit
this
letter
to
Councilman
Smedley
and
then
found
out
this
morning
that
day,
indeed,
there
would
be
public
participation,
so
in
deference
to
and
respect
for
the
26
people
who
signed
this
letter
rather
than
area
in
reading
it
I'm
going
to
now.
So
if
you'd
be
so
kind
as
to
start
your
time
right,
that
guy
can
get
it
under
three
minutes.
How
can
do
council
members
medley
and
other
members
of
council
every
learner
every
day?
That
is
the
model
of
the
Athens
City
School
District?
O
Thirteen
months
ago,
our
school
districts,
Board
of
Education
appointed
as
16
member
steering
committee
to
help
develop
a
long
term
facilities
plan.
This
committee
was
comprised
of
current
and
former
educators
parents
of
current
and
past
students,
community
members,
representatives
of
Ohio
University
and
as
it
pertains
the
City
Council
our
mayor
over
the
course
of
the
past
13
months.
The
steering
committee
met
in
public
eleven
times
in
room
105
of
building
21
on
the
ridges.
The
committee
hosted
to
community
input
meetings
at
Athens,
High
School.
O
This
resolution
range
some
conspiracy
theories
to
a
desire
to
maintain
the
status
quo.
The
status
quo,
where
two
of
our
elementary
buildings
pass
zero
of
the
twelve
state
performance
indicators,
while
the
other
two
buildings
passed.
Eight
and
nine
of
those
indicators.
This
past
school
year
is
unacceptable
and
one
of
the
many
reasons
why
the
facilities
steering
committee
spent
so
much
time
discussing
plans
to
ensure
equitable
educational
opportunity
for
every
learner
every
day.
Ensuring
the
continued
welfare
of
the
citizens
of
Athens
is
certainly
one
of
the
many
responsibilities
of
council.
O
However,
adopting
a
resolution
where
council
clearly
has
the
cart
before
the
horse
only
serves
to
polarize
the
community
and
risk
the
future
educational
opportunities
for
our
district
students,
both
inside
and
outside
of
the
city
limits.
We
urge
you
to
set
this
resolution
aside
and
permit
the
governmental
body
charged
with
overseeing
the
education
of
our
community's
youth
to
complete
the
tasks
they
were
elected
to
address.
Thank
you.
P
Hi
I'm
Julia,
stout
and
I'm
speaking
on
my
own
behalf,
I'm
a
property
owner
on
the
Near
East
Side,
my
children
attended,
East,
Elementary
I
also
attended
East
Elementary
I
bought
a
house
there
because
it
was
near
East
elementary
and
when
the
so
she
first
came
up,
my
gut
reaction
was
well.
We
have
to
save
East,
but
it's
a
very
nuanced
issue.
I
attended
some
meetings.
P
I've
listened
to
all
the
facts
and
as
the
mother
of
a
child
with
the
disability,
I
have
to
say
that
this
current
system
we
have
is
not
equitable
and
fair
to
kids
with
disabilities.
The
resources
are
spread
on
a
month,
spread
out
over
multiple
schools.
Instead
of
being
concentrated
in
one
school,
my
daughter
was
not
able
to
get
or
have
access
to
many
resources
that
would
have
really
helped
her
move
forward.
P
I
had
to
switch
her
to
beacon
school
to
try
to
access
things
like
a
sensory
room
and
I
also
want
to
say
that
my
son,
both
my
son
and
my
daughter,
the
kindergarten
class
at
East
Elementary
had
24
kids
in
it.
In
one
tiny,
room
and
I
had
to
actually
pay
someone
I
had
to
pay
my
son's
kindergarten
teacher
to
tutor
him
outside
of
class,
because
she
didn't
have
the
time
during
the
school
day,
because
her
class
was
so
crowded.
P
A
friend
of
mine
who
teaches
in
another
district
says
she
never
has
more
than
16
in
a
kindergarten
class,
because
kindergarten
has
a
lot
of
ground
to
cover
these
days.
You
have
to
come
out
of
kindergarten
being
able
to
read
so
I
think
what
matters
most
and
what's
fair
and
equitable
to
everybody
is
not
necessarily
a
small
school
but
small
classrooms,
functional
schools
and
that
may
or
may
not.
P
That
could
look
a
variety
of
different
ways
and
I
would
like
to
encourage
people
to
keep
an
open
mind
and,
judging
from
the
number
of
street
signs
or
yard
signs
in
my
neighborhood,
a
lot
of
people
in
my
neighborhood
are
passionately
wanting
to
preserve
East
Elementary,
but
I
want
to
say
that
there's
more
than
one
way
to
look
at
that
issue
and
that
what
really
matters
is
equality
and
and
and
a
good,
a
good
education.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Q
My
name
is
Barbara
stout.
That
was
my
sister
and
I
also
attended
East
elementary
school
I
own
property
on
the
east
side,
I
don't
have
any
children
or
grandchildren,
I
have
nieces
and
nephews.
So
some
people
have
said
like
I,
don't
have
a
stake:
I
don't
have
a
horse
in
this
race,
but
as
a
citizen
of
this
community,
every
citizen
in
this
community
has
a
horse
in
this
race
because
we
all
live
in
and
will
grow
old
in
the
society
and
the
community
that
is
created
by
the
children
that
we
educate,
I
have
to
say.
Q
During
this
meeting,
I
felt
like
I'm
in
the
middle
of
an
Adele
song
rumor
has
it
I
mean
rumor
yeah,
rumor
I
saw
the
signs,
I
saw
the
signs
and
I
and
I
thought
I
love,
East,
oh
I
went
to
East,
we
can't
get
rid
of
East
and
then
I
took
the
time
to
educate
myself.
I
went
to
board
meetings,
I
talked
to
people,
I
went
on
the
internet
and
I
have
to
say
I've
come
away
with
nothing
but
respect
for
the
Board
of
Education.
It
is
such
a
complex
issue.
Q
You
start
reading
the
state
rules
and
regulations
for
facilities,
planning
and
I
am
just
in
awe
of
the
school
board
members
that
they
have
waded
through
this
with
all
the
very
complex
issues
about
funding
and
other
things,
I
understand
that
this
will
affect
the
city
of
Athens,
but
it
affects
the
plains.
It
affects
Chansey.
Q
It
affects
the
entire
school
district
and
to
put
forth
a
resolution
before
the
school
board
has
finished
doing
what
they're
charged
with
doing
and
what
they
have
put
a
lot
of
time
thought
energy,
deep
thought
into
I
think
is
actually
very
disrespectful
to
the
school
board
and
to
the
steering
committee
who
have
spent
time
I
mean
my
mind
was
blown
when
I
read
some
of
these
regulations.
The
complexity
of
it
all
is
deep
and
a
resolution.
Just
it's
deeply
disrespectful
to
our
elected
school
board.
That's
all
I
have
to
say.
R
Okay
good
evening,
Thank,
You
counsel,
plated
nicely
and
all
the
council
members
for
all
your
services
and
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Noriko
Kanzaki
and
I'm.
Speaking
on
my
own
behalf,
I
have
a
serious
concern
and
comment
about
this.
One
read
resolution
regarding
identity,
school
district,
first
of
all,
city
of
Athens,
provides
provides
less
than
half
of
the
district's
student
body.
Having
the
resolution
to
interfere
with
the
school
board
process
is
akin
to
interfere
with
the
life
of
everyone,
not
just
city
of
Athens
in
the
district.
R
Secondly,
I
do
agree.
Portion
of
our
resolution
does
that
we're
at
changing
the
existing
identity,
Schools
district
facilities
would
represent
a
historic
shift
in
K
to
12
education
in
this
city.
Yes,
historic
shift
that
part
is
needed
now
historic
shift
in
special
education
so
that
children
with
disabilities
have
a
shot
in
their
life.
R
Historic
shift
in
that
students
with
disabilities
can
go
to
the
same
school
as
their
peers,
historic
students
that
students,
like
my
son,
who
had
very
severe
autism,
can
go
to
school
locally
by
the
way
he
can't
and
not
be
rejected
from
all
of
the
local
schools.
Historic
shift
that
students,
like
my
son,
can
learn
functional
communication
and
behavior
strategies
so
that
he
could
live
in
my
own
house
with
my
own
family.
R
Currently
he
can't-
and
we
are
not-
these
services
are
not
present
now
in
the
district,
so
historic
shift
is
needed
well
in
closing
I
hope
when
City
Council
considers
intervening
with
school
board
process,
you
hope
hope
you
know
that
your
actions
can
have
a
tremendous
impact
on
people
with
disabilities.
Thank
you
thank.
A
A
S
Evon
City
School
District
is
currently
in
the
process
of
master
facility
planning
process
because
our
buildings
have
reached
to
the
end
of
their
psycho.
Several
of
our
buildings
have
met
the
state's
2/3
rule,
meaning
that
the
maintenance
cost
of
the
building
has
exceed
the
cost
of
building
new
ones.
It
means
our
students
does
not
just
deserve
new
facilities,
but
need
them.
S
Chairwoman,
Kinsley
was
at
last
month's
school
board
meeting
I
think
she
heard
a
in
firsthand
about
the
condition,
what
kind
of
conditions
our
buildings
are
and
and
what
the
need
of
our
students
are
as
Evans
City
school
started.
Spending
in
four
years
is
unlikely
to
replace
all
four
elementary
schools
and
certain
new
configuration
and
school
closing
will
be
necessary
at
this
point,
as
the
school
district
does
not
have
a
concrete
plan.
Yet
it
is
hard
to
assess
the
exact
in
fact
impact
to
the
city.
S
So
it
seems
to
me
that
we
just
witnessed
how
the
taxpayers
money
are
wasted
in
the
time
spent
on
discussing
and
reading
this
resolution,
when
all
the
council's
members
say
is
that
we
need
to
wait
for
more
details
to
come
out
in
terms
of
the
content.
The
citizen
do
not
need
the
City
Council's
representation
of
our
best
interest
in
educational,
economic
and
social
needs
in
participating
in
the
decision-making
process
of
our
k-12
education
concerned.
Citizens
can
fully
function
to
go
to
the
school
board,
meeting,
write,
talk
and
communicate
to
the
school
board
members
and
vote.
S
In
the
meantime.
According
to
school
districts,
official,
only
around
less
than
half
of
our
students
lived
within
the
city
limits.
The
City
Council
does
not
have
right
to
hijack
or
insert
itself
into
the
a
CSD
planning
process
through
the
claim
of
representation.
As
for
the
line
on
the
zoning,
the
language
does
not
sound
friendly
or
run
the
risk
of
cursing
a
school
district
out
of
the
city
to
seek
more
Hospital
Township.
S
The
City
Council
would
be
going
against
the
mayor's
wish
to
keep
the
school
in
the
city
and
against
the
city
residents
interest
by
losing
some
revenue
from
school
district.
Employee
income.
Tax
I
was
surprised
to
hear
the
word
inclusive
being
used
as
very
unfriendly
and
not
considering
the
effect
on
the
decision
of
the
school
district.
The
idea
of
the
neighborhood
school
seems
pairen
and
wholesome,
but
is
only
hauls
them
when
we
have
equal
neighborhoods,
and
that
is
not
the
reality
of
our
school
district.
S
S
This
is
boo
in
the
cities
that
serves
most
student
is
the
Morrison
Elementary
and
most
of
the
students
go
on
go
to
the
school
on
the
bus.
At
certain
point,
we
really
need
to
ask
our
school
really
neighborhood
schools,
judging
from
our
current
location,
where
they
really
disliked
and
located
as
the
neighborhood
schools
I
feel
there
are
a
lot
of
things
we
need
to
and
a
lot
of
concept.
We
need
to
think
through
and
I
highly
respect.
S
All
the
council
persons
here,
because
I
think
you
guys
are
smart
and
visionary
city
planners
and
I
would
really
love
to
see
the
the
City
Council
SiC
winning
solutions
with
the
city
school,
so
our
city
will
not
only
have
good
on
city
schools,
but
also
have
a
better
city
that
increases
the
city
residents,
life
quality
and
that
was
a
bring
city
more
revenue.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
K
I've
struggled
all
the
way
through
this
process
about
what
I
believe
about
Athens
as
well
as
Athens
City
Schools.
Do
I
believe
that
anyone's
at
fault
do
I
believe
that
miss
Pappy
did
the
wrong
thing.
By
bringing
up
the
resolution,
no
I,
don't
I
believe
she
did
what
she
did,
because
she
is
in
a
plate
in
a
position
where
she,
where
the
town
itself
is
built
on
a
system,
that's
unequal
and
she's,
simply
representing
the
people
that
she
needs
to
represent
in
her
and
her
ward
am
I
happy
about
it.
K
No
am
I
happy
about
it
because
nobody
can
see
the
system
for
itself
the
reason
why
things
happen
the
way
they
happen.
We
have
some
small
towns
in
our
area
where
manufacturing
left
and
we
have
a
big
center
group
of
voters
which
vote
as
a
single
voting
bloc,
because
you
simply
can
in
your
own
interest.
Is
it
wrong
to
vote
in
your
own
interest?
Is
it
wrong
to
fight
for
it?
K
No,
it
isn't
it's
exactly
what
you're
supposed
to
be
doing,
but
you
have
to
look
at
the
larger
system
that
there
is
a
group
of
people
out
here
with
desperate
needs
for
the
school
district.
At
the
last
to
today,
Anna
Rico
had
an
a
had
a
goose
egg
on
her
head
from
her
son
hitting
her
in
the
head.
You
didn't
mean
it
and
you
don't
mean
it,
but
this
is
what's
happening
and
we
need
to
address
it.
K
K
Our
superintendent
is
afraid
of
speaking
up.
Our
school
board
is
afraid
of
speaking
up.
People
in
the
community
are
speaking
up,
and
some
of
those
reasons
are
they've
got
letters
telling
them
not
to.
There
was
a
letter
that
came
to
City
Council
tonight,
signed
by
I,
don't
know
I
I
had
at
least
10
people
sign
it.
I
didn't
hear
it
read:
I'm,
not
sure
what
happened
to
it,
see
I,
don't
think
it's
anyone's
intention,
but
we
have
to
look
at
the
system
that
you're
working
in
not
the
system
that
you
want.
K
There
are
people
on
the
outside
and
they're
telling
you
they
have
needs.
It
wasn't
hard
for
me
to
find
Michael
Wyman,
who
was
a
small
school
supporter
in
Chansey.
Doing
things
for
children.
I
walked
in
this
door
and
asked
it
wasn't
hard
for
me
to
find
my
goal
at
the
high
school.
It
was
an
Upward
Bound
student
I
got
on
Facebook
and
looked
for
work.
K
These
things
aren't
hard.
They
aren't
hard
to
hear
your
neighbors,
even
if
they
don't
find
you
at
pickup.
You
have
to
look
at
the
system
that
we're
working
in
and
work
with
it.
We
are
asking
you
to
wait
after
the
election,
so
people
aren't
afraid
to
use
their
voices.
That's
all
we're
asking
I
didn't
ask
Michael
to
change
his
views
about
small
schools.
I
didn't
I
just
want
the
system
to
work
correctly.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
I.
T
CouldÃve
name,
my
name
is
Meredith
Pryce,
Mullins
and
I
am
a
resident
of
Athens.
I
would
just
like
to
thank
the
council
tonight
for
discussing
possible
and
ongoing
changes
with
the
Athens
City
School
District
and
how
those
changes
might
affect
the
city
and
the
taxpayers.
I
think
the
process
should
be
transparent
and
I,
appreciate
your
willingness
to
plan
and
to
work
to
make
sure
the
process
is
done
thoroughly
and
I
would
like
to
comment
on
a
few
of
the
public
meeting
with
the
steering
committee.
T
I
know
it
was
maybe
publicized,
but
I
wasn't
aware
of
the
meetings
until
the
steering
committee
had
already
narrowed
down
their
options
and
then,
when
I
was
aware,
I
did
attend
steering
committee
meetings.
However,
the
public
wasn't
allowed
to
speak,
so
I
just
want
to
reiterate
how
much
I
appreciate
you
working
with
the
city
and
the
school
district
to
come
up
with
a
viable
solution.
So
thank
you.
A
I
B
G
F
F
Good
planning
means
collaborating
with
a
lot
of
difference.
Takeovers
and
many
many
people
have
come
forward
to
City
Council
and
said
that
they're
concerned
and
being
a
planning
nerd
we're
going
through
our
comprehensive
plan
and
I
would
I
guess.
Maybe
the
thing
is
is
that
we
are
asking
what
I
would
like
to
see
this
the
school
board
to.
F
Go
along,
you
know.
This
I
have
heard
from
many
many
people
that
the
steering
committee
wasn't
like
really
inclusive
and
that
there
are
people
outside
of
people
who
have
cities
who
have
school-aged
kids
that
are
now
concerned
about
this
because
they
are
feeling
not
not
included,
and
so
I'd
like
to
say
many
communities
use
City
facility
planning
as
part
of
their
comprehensive
plan,
which
we
are
doing
right
now
and
I
would
just
like
to.
F
This
is
just
like
say
to
the
schools
the
school
board
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
are
not
feeling
very
included,
and
ultimately,
that
may
not
be
good
for
the
outcome
of
the
facility
planning.
Better
outcomes
means
better
planning
goes
into
it,
and
then
everybody
you
know
is
is
included
and
happy.
F
Well,
happy
is
not
a
good
word,
but
the
satisfied
and
that
it's
the
best
case
for
the
schools
and
the
community.
So
I,
don't
think
we're
not
like
saying.
Well,
we
don't
want
schools
here
or
we
want
this
or
we
want
that.
I
guess.
Maybe
what
this
is
saying,
that
a
lot
of
people
have
been
approaching
the
City
Council.
That
say,
is
that
says:
they're
not
feeling
included
in
the
planning
process.
Better
planning
always
means
better
outcomes
and.
B
G
N
N
B
And
if
I
understand
the
procedure
right,
when
somebody
believes
that
somebody,
the
committee
of
the
whole
or
the
person
who
designated
the
ordinance
to
begin
with,
we
could
come
back
and
say
they
believe
it's
an
appropriate
time
to
bring
it
forward
again.
Then
they
could
could
do
that.
Sometimes,
we've
laid
something
on
the
tape
we've
tabled,
something
and
we've
said,
but
we're
going
to
bring
it
back
in
two
weeks
right
now.
I
think
this
is
a
more
open-ended
realized,
probably
in
recognition.
B
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
councilmember
concepts,
but
perhaps
in
recognition
of
the
fact
that
the
Athens
City
School
Board
is
still
in
the
midst
of
working
through
their
planning
process
and
their
final
recommendations,
which
might
not
come
until
next
I.
Think
April
is
their
deadline.
April
2018,
if
I
understood
from
the
last
board
meeting.
B
We
have
three
voting
to
postpone
indefinitely
and
so
all
those
against
postponing
indefinitely
you
have
three
so
we're
tied,
and
so
that
means
that
that
I
need
to
make
a
vote,
and
what
I
will
say
is
that
I
understand
that
all
all
parties
concerned
have
been
interested
in
collaborating
and
coordinating
the
processing
and
the
process.
I
understand
and
I
and
I
do
believe.
Council,
member,
Pappy
intent
behind
his
resolution
is
very
sincere
about
the
concerns
for
the
for
the
school
district.
B
However,
I
do
believe
in
the
the
vested
interest
and
responsibilities
of
the
Athens
City
School
Board
for
doing
their
planning
process
and
to
give
them
the
the
time
and
the
confidence
that
we
have
in
their
process
and
allow
them
that
time
until
the
April
deadline.
So
I
would
vote
in
favor
of
the
motion
to
postpone
indefinitely.
B
Okay
and
think
it
I'd
like
to
thank
everybody
for
coming
tonight.
We
have
a
few
more
items
of
business.
So
if
you'll
stay
patient
with
us,
we'll
work
through
those
those
other
motions
and
announcements,
are
there
any
announcements
that
need
to
come
up
in
light
of
next
week's
meetings?
Committee
meetings?
A
B
We
do
have
a
motion
to
remove
an
ordinance
from
the
table
and
this
is
ordinance
one
zero,
eight,
seventeen
and
this
is
an
ordinance
amending
athens
city
code,
title
three,
administrative
provisions,
chapter
3.07,
administrative
departments,
boards
and
commissions
to
add
section
3.0,
seven
point:
seven:
six
to
establish
the
athens
city,
affordable,
housing,
commission.
This
is
introduced
by
councilmember
fall.
Thank.
F
I
R
B
B
A
B
I'll
go
ahead
and
speak
to
that.
The
mayor
has
requested
to
reappoint
Rose
dicus
for
another
three-year
term,
which
would
expire
on
September
3rd
2020
and
also
then
to
appoint
Douglas
Brooks
and
we
have
received
mr.
Brooks
is
resume
and
he
would
be
filling
the
unexpired
term
of
Laurie
Kenny,
whose
term
expires
January,
21st,
2018
so
moved
second,
so
we
have
a
motion
and
second
for
these
reappointment
of
reappointment
and
a
new
appointment
to
the
disabilities.
Commission,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye.
A
B
Nay,
thank
you
very
much
for
those
people
who
are
gonna
be
who
have
volunteered
in
the
past
and
will
be
doing
so
in
the
future,
and
we
have
the
Athens
Municipal
Arts
Commission
brochure
that
received
some
review
at
last
week's
committee
meetings
and
former
councilmember
Carol
Patterson
is
here
tonight
I
think
you've.
Maybe
you
could
give
us
just
a
brief
report.
I
know:
we've
received
the
final
copy
of
this
correct.
M
Josh
and
I
added
that
was
not
discussed,
but
last
week
was
the
word.
Local
and
I
was
reading
it
over
just
before
I.
Send
it
not
that
this
doesn't
say
anywhere
in
the
document
that
what
was
really
after
it's
local
artists
being
able
to
have
their
work
in
the
places
that
are
developed
here
so
I
added
that
word
other
than
that,
there's
nothing
new
that
we
had
not
discussed.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
