A
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
Athens
City
Council,
it's
Monday
evening,
August
14th
at
7:03
p.m.
tonight.
We
are
in
session
with
committees,
four
of
them
in
preparation
for
next
week's
full
business
meeting
where
we
will
be
considering
ordinances
in
between
tonight
and
next
Monday
night's
meeting.
There
will
be
a
Friday
lunch
meeting
with
City
Council
members
and
president
Nellis
and
some
of
his
administrative
staff.
B
C
C
We
have
looked
at
people's
budgets
halfway
at
the
halfway
mark
in
June
and
early
July
and
I
have
some
suggestions,
but
I
told
the
mayor
today,
I'd
like
to
talk
to
him.
First,
sometimes
people
have
little
money
sitting
there,
but
in
their
minds
and
plans
it's
spoken
for,
and
so
we
have
have
looked
at
some
but
I.
You
know
like
to
talk
to
the
mayor
about
it.
$10,000
in
the
general
fund
isn't
huge.
The
thing
is
we
don't
have
it
in
the
unappropriate
of
belem
or
that
has
not
changed
for
several
months.
C
C
Contract
was
a
budgeted
for
this
increase
at
midpoint,
W
and
I
had
a
conversation.
The
mayor
and
I
have
leased.
It
I
have
it's
kind
of
complicated
the
way
the
public
defenders
contract
runs
because
their
their
budget
depends
on
what
the
percentage
they're
subsidized
by
the
state
and
it
reimbursement
they
get,
and
this
stays
on
different
fiscal
year
than
we
are
and
by
the
time
they
adjust
their
budget.
We
are
exciting
our
contract
for
the
year
until
mid
year.
C
If
you
look
at
that
contract
they'll
see
that
it's
effective,
January
1st
through
the
end
of
the
year
that
we
didn't
the
city
didn't
sign
off
on
it
until
mid
year,
which
is
typical.
It's
been
like
that
for
many
and
so
by
then
they
realized
that
their
reimbursement
had
been
reduced
slightly
from
the
state.
So
the
the
amount
has
increased.
C
Our
budget
from
the
beginning
of
the
year
was
based
on
what
we
paid
last
year
with
a
small
increase,
but
they
had
to
increase
what
they're
asking
for
in
their
contract
for
the
second
half
of
this
year,
and
we
just
don't
bite,
nearly
$9,000
will
probably
cover
it
to
say
10.
So
that's
that's
where
we
are
now:
we've
already
made
one
payment.
We
made
two
a
year.
C
First,
payment
was
just
under
sixty
thousand
this
next
one
will
be
almost
75
thousand,
which
is
a
bit
of
a
jump,
but
I
talked
to
the
Commissioner's
Office
today
and
they're,
pretty
sure
that
that
the
reimbursement
percentage
is
going
to
go
back
up
from
40
to
45
percent
and
that
our
bills
costs
next
year
will
go
down
slightly,
but
we
don't
know.
In
the
meantime,
we
have
an
invoice
for
seventy-five
thousand
and
we're
just
short
about
nine
thousand
dollars
to
pay.
It
remember
penny
so.
F
That
was
where
I
was
wondering
where
a
lot
of
this
was
coming
from,
because
there
has
been
a
reduction
in
a
public
defender
cost
through
the
state.
Again
a
state
budget
could
I
guess
but
I
don't
know,
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
you
spoke
to
the
commissioners,
because
that
was
my
question
one
of
my
questions,
but
how
do
they
know
that
that's
going
to
change
I
mean?
Why
do
they
think
it's
gonna
go
back
up
to
45.
C
Because
of
what
they've
been
told
by
representative
from
the
Ohio
Public
Defender's
Office,
but
we
don't
know
so
they
think
it
will.
But
we
won't
know
until
next
year
we
won't
be
billed
again
by
the
local
commissioners
until
February
or
March
by
then
we
should
know,
but
we
don't
know
that
it
well,
but
she
seemed
pretty
confident
from
what
she's
been
told
at
the
state
level,
but
it
could
change
okay,
so
you
know
I'm
just
hoping
she's
right
and
it
will
go
back
down.
B
B
C
It
came
on
up
to
Debbie
to
give
counsel,
and
in
the
past,
as
long
as
I
can
remember,
it's
been
doing
over
first,
so
I
assume
that
would
be
the
date
on
this
one,
because
sometimes
we
had
trouble
getting
it
passed
by
council
in
time
when
recess
was
August
at
least
for
three
meetings.
But
anyway,
it's
our
time
inside
millage,
for
the
city
of
Batman's
and
for
our
portion
taking
kanan
catch
him.
C
C
G
C
A
B
H
It's
EPW
engineering
public
works.
We
need
to
look
at
30000
for
sludge,
morsel
edge,
more
sludge.
You
know
we're
likely
to
have
to
because
of
the
land
and
the
land
transfer
or
loaning
of
the
the
the
lease
agreement,
depending
on
how
that
turns
out
with
the
land
itself,
we're
gonna
have
to
go
back
to
belt,
pressing
and
then
taking
and
setting
off
the
landfill,
and
that
cost
is
gonna,
see
a
cost
increase
in
that
so
and
then
the
generator.
H
We
also
need
that
generator
for
the
for
this
building,
as
well
as
the
law,
building
and
conversations
with
the
auditor.
Earlier
today,
we
kind
of
thought
weird
things:
one:
could
we
possibly
take
a
loan
from
ourselves
or
the
treasurer
Mary
Ann
McClure,
but
we
felt
that,
given
the
interest
rates
that
we
can
get
that
we'll
go
that
route
instead,
because
we're
looking
at
two
hundred
and
seventy
four
thousand
dollars
to
get
generation
for
these
buildings,
but
it's
desperately
needed.
You
know
every
time
our
server
takes
a
hit
because
of
a
power
outage.
H
It's
not
only
effort
to
come
in
and
reboot
things,
but
we
run
the
risk
of
losing
a
server
which
would
be
even
worse
without
having
backup
generation.
I
did
reach
out
to
I.
Think
I
sent
this
to
I,
know
I,
sent
it
to
Kristin
Isley,
president
counsel,
and
hopefully
it
went
and
got
distributed
throughout
the
rest
of
Council
I
didn't
reach
out
to
third
son
and
asked
Jeff
Greenfield.
H
What
his
recommendation
on
this
is
to
because
of
the
question
that
was
raised
about
having
green
energy
driving
our
backup
generation,
and
he
said
that
at
this
point
in
history,
that's
probably
cost
prohibitive
to
do
that.
Plus
it
wouldn't
be
prudent
during
the
winter
months,
with
the
ability
to
recharge
a
battery
bank.
If
we
had
a
winter,
our
power
outage
because
of
ice
or
snow
or
whatever
that
it's
not
the
way
to
go,
you
do
solar
backup
power
generation.
He
didn't
advise
it.
D
H
I
think
I,
provided
the
quotes
for
both
to
City
Council.
To
do
gas
would
require
two
separate
gas
generators
which
would
cost
about
three
hundred
and
ninety
four
thousand
dollars,
as
opposed
to
one
diesel,
backup
generator
for
both
buildings,
which
would
be
two
hundred
and
seventy
four
thousand
dollars.
So
it's
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
difference
without
dollar
difference
between
the
two
and
my
thoughts
are
this
and
I'll
share
this
with
Council,
as
I've
shared
with
my
staff.
H
Is
that
for
the
number
of
times
a
year
more
frequently
lately,
but
not
long-running
I
think
are
allowing
this
power
outage
this
year
was
when
the
telephone
poles
went
down
and
the
city
building
was
without
it,
power
I,
don't
know.
If
the
law
building,
you
were
doubt
without
power,
but
it
was
it
the
full
three
days
as
well,
there's
a
long
time,
but
anyway,
three
days
so
it'd
be
three
days
of
diesel
generation
for
power.
The
second
longest
this
year
was
a
day
we
were
out
for
a
day.
E
H
Share
this
with
gas,
because
I
think
this
is
important
as
well.
The
quote
that
we
got
for
$394,000
was
just
for
two
generators
likely
we'd
have
to
we'd,
have
to
enlarge
our
service
line
coming
in,
because
our
service
lines
currently
wouldn't
be
able
to
handle
the
amount
of
gas
that
is
gonna
that
would
be
required
to
run
both
of
these
I.
Don't
know
what
the
size
of
our
line
is
to
the
buildings,
but
again
likely
have
to
increase
the
size
of
gas
transmission
line.
Everybody.
B
I
You,
as
you
know,
I,
was
somewhat
skeptical,
considering
the
fact
that
you
had
brought
this
up
right
after
I
believe
this
fall
had
mentioned
something
about
the
need
for
conserving
resources
going
green.
You
know
in
general,
as
an
environmentalist,
my
question
to
you
is
system.
It's
really
a
series
of
questions
have.
It
seems
to
me
that
you're
suddenly
saying
that
we
need
to
have
energy
for
two
buildings,
and
yet
we
have
a
crucial
area.
That
is
basically
just
the
electronics
dealing
with
the
websites
and
such
so
I
have
two
questions.
I
One
could
could
those
particularly
sites
be
moved
to
the
community
building,
which
is
actually
solar,
powered
from
what
I
understand
and
actually
doesn't
it
have
some
sort
of
backup
generator
already
so?
Could
we
move
that
over
there
and
save
the
public
this
275,000
and
and
maybe
avoid
having
to
go
through.
I
Doing
the
diesel
system,
and
if
not,
could
we
at
least
can
sitter
instead
of
maintaining
two
buildings
that
full
function,
it
seems
that
we
have
just
a
very
small
amount
of
the
buildings
that
would
actually
need
covered
for
electricity.
Are
there
ways
to
basically
shut
down
certain
sections
of
the
buildings?
For
instance,
I?
Don't
see
any
reason
why
the
court,
if
there's
an
emergency,
if
there
was
a
power
outage,
why
the
court
would
have
to
be
in
business
during
that
time
they
may
disagree
with
me.
I
H
Let
me
let
me
share
this
with
you:
one
can,
with
the
gutting,
there's
not
enough
room
over
at
the
community
center
for
putting
our
servers
in
there,
as
well
as
having
to
redo
a
lot
of
stuff
when
it
comes
to
the
cabling.
The
whole
nine
yards
I
mean
I
I
believe
that
that
would
be
equally
expensive
to
now
relocate
completely
the
server's
over
to
the
community
center.
Yes,
it
does
have
a
backup
generator.
It's
not
solar
powered.
H
You
know
the
the
solar
that's
coming
in
is
minimal
into
the
community
center,
but
and
then
I
would
contend
that
there's
a
lot
that
goes
on
in
this
building.
Aside
from
just
the
server's
NIT
and
I
would
say
the
same
for
the
law
building.
You
know
the
auditor's
office
is
in
there,
there's
the
police
department,
which
has
its
servers
or
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
these
two
buildings
to
sit
and
and
hamstring
us
by
not
having
a
backup
generator.
C
Questions
but
I
would
like
to
add
something,
and
the
mayor
already
addressed
the
server
situation
in
City
Hall.
However,
we
have
our
own
servers
in
our
office
and
in
our
building
and
as
far
as
not
having
access
to
anything
and
I
know
exactly
what
you're
saying
about
Port
I've
had
discussions
and
seen
what
is
required
for
municipal
courts
for
disaster
recovery
is
set
forth
by
the
legislature
was
several
years
ago.
C
C
I
know
that
David
does
actually
want
to
move
the
server
room
and
include
ours
with
it.
But
I
can't
imagine
that
wouldn't
be
a
huge
undertaking
and
also
be
costly.
So
that's
just
what
I
would
add
to
that.
We
do
have
our
own
servers
in
the
auditor's
office.
It
would
be
without
so
it's
not
just
the
ones
in
City
Hall.
C
H
Also
would
add,
you
know
in
the
case
of
a
significant
power
outage.
You
know
the
community
senator
becomes
a
cooling
station
warming
station,
whatever
it
becomes
a
refuge
for
individuals,
I
believe
this
building
could
be
as
well
since
the
citizens
we
have
some
space
Isis
and
to
just
qualify
what
the
others
are
saying
about:
David
petting
talking
about
hitting
the
server
it's
it's
putting
the
backups
or
somewhere
else,
which
is
something
that
is
kind
of
standard
procedure.
H
These
days
when
it
comes
to
two
servers,
just
making
sure
that
your
backup
server
and
your
regular
server
aren't
co-located
in
the
same
place,
you
have
some
level
of
redundancy.
So
so
that's
it's
referring
to
with
finding
a
different
location
which
we've
thought
of
several
places.
You
know
possibly
putting
it
right
up
the
street
or
maybe
an
arch
West
or
somewhere,
but
we
are
looking
at
that
as
a
backup
location,
but
that's
just
about.
D
Just
struggling
a
little
bit
with
some
of
these
power
outages
and
damages
that
have
been
done
to
particular
Fire
Department
headquarters
and
loss
of
three
computers.
We
are
going
through
our
insurance
company
and
attempt
to
try
to
have
that
reimbursed
directly
to
us
because,
as
you
heard,
the
auditors
say,
there's
no
money
to
move.
But
we
will
be
talking
this
week
and
looking
to
see
there's
any.
But
what
we
can
adjust
in
terms
of.
H
B
C
I
actually
was
out
of
the
office
last
week,
except
for
Monday
when
I
worked
and
then
came
to
council
meeting,
but
on
Wednesday
and
Debbie
was
made
aware
of
this
by
Laura
the
deputy
auditor,
that
we
need
an
appropriation
of
32,000
and
the
core
fund,
the
judges,
computer
funds
for
that
transfer,
the
ordinance
those
transfers
always
get
tricky,
but
to
transfer
that
money
from
the
judges
computer
fund
to
the
clerk
computer
fund.
You
have
to
have
an
appropriation
in
place,
so
you
have
that
money
to
transfer.
C
Then
you
transfer,
then
you
re
appropriated
and
the
other
fun
to
spend,
and
we
forgot
that
first
step.
So
we
need
this
$32,000
appropriation.
This
is
just
a
few
up
when
I
go
back
to
look
at
OAD
817
from
last
Monday,
and
so
we
forgot
that
beginning.
So
we
can't
do
the
transfer,
because
we
don't
there's
no
appropriation
in
that.
B
A
A
F
You
Athens
public
transit.
We
do
have
somebody
here
representing
Athens
public
transit
tonight,
Michael
Lachman
administration.
Would
you
like
to
update
us
on
University,
courtyard
service
and
Michael?
If
you
want
to
come
to
the
podium
I,
don't
know
if,
if
you
have
appropriate
information
as
well,
I
want
to
go
ahead.
D
J
So
what
I
can
tell
you?
The
university
4-yard
shuttle
service
is
the
surface
for
that
apartment,
complex,
run.
Historically,
the
far
history
was
run
by
the
city
of
Athens
for
a
period
of
time,
and
more
recently,
it's
been
run
by
the
University
and
due
to
some
changes,
they've
made
with
their
internal
procedures
for
transportation
parking,
they
are
no
longer
going
to
be
running
that
service
they've
reached
up
with
us
the
possibility
that
we
might
take
that
contract,
not
as
most
of
you
know,
we've
already
use
third-party
contracting
and
run
the
summit.
J
Now
to
do
this
we
need
an
additional
bus
and
efforts
and
negotiations
of
how
University
transportation
the
shuttle
bus
that
they've
been
using
from
that
surface
is
available
for
us
to
purchase
the
tricky
part
about
purchasing
that
bus
is
that
cap
cap
currently
has
some
money
in
a
capital
replacement
fund
that
has
been
collected
over
the
years
in
contracts.
This
is
something
that
the
State
Department
of
Transportation
has
allowed
us
to
put
together.
J
So
there
is
some
money
there
to
put
put
to
purchase
and
we
intend
to
capture
the
entire
cost
of
the
bus
through
the
port.
Our
contract,
however,
but
that's
only
going
to
happen
over
time.
So
what
we're
working
on
right
now
is
getting
a
purchase
contract
in
place
that
allows
for
that
that
purchase
price
to
be
reimbursed
to
the
city
and
also
we
need
to
get
an
ordinance
on
the
books
to
approve
the
purchase
of
the
vehicle
and
also
to
accept
it
as
a
closet.
H
J
I
J
E
Remember
fall
well,
one
of
the
questions
was
answered.
Thank
You,
Patrick
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
also,
for
being
you
know,
having
the
ability
to
take
on
a
contract
like
this
I
always
worry
about,
like
overwhelming
the
capital
assets
that
you
have
or
the
people
out
sets,
and
how
will
that
be
affected
by
this
contract?
Is
there
going
to
be
need
new
people
being
employed
or.
D
G
J
J
K
K
I
I
I
just
don't
I
understand,
that's
not
part
of
this
plan,
but
I
I,
surely
hope
it's
something
that
you
will
consider
because
I
think
it's
essential
for
both
the
safety
of
the
citizens
and
the
other
drivers
and
in
general
I
think
it
gives
a
sense,
a
much
better
reputation
if
we
do
provide
extended
extensive
public
transportation
that
would
be
used
in
this
kind
of
balance.
So
again,
thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
thank.
H
F
D
L
F
C
F
J
J
F
J
If
we
continue
on
our
current
trajectory,
we
could
get
into
a
situation
which,
on
our
highest
productivity
routes,
we
could
wind
up
having
more
passengers
than
we
have
capacity
on
our
current
buses.
So
one
thing
we
started
to
look
at
is
the
possibility
the
need
arose
to
purchase
a
used
heavy
transit
bus
for
several
at
government
auction.
This
is
a
placid
vehicle,
that's
typically
disposed
of
after
twelve
years
of
life,
unlike
our
lighter
transit
vehicle
truck,
but
when
I
was
just
talking
about
us.
J
Disclosing
about
this
is
a
vehicle
that,
after
its
federal
useful
life,
still
often
has
a
fair
amount
of
useful
life
in
it
if
it's
properly
so
currently
right
now,
we
have
three
in
this
category
that
we
use
for
the
summit
service.
One
of
those
is
over
800,000
miles,
that's
one.
So
the
thinking
is.
We
would
like
to
be
in
a
position
that
if
an
auction
came
along
with
one
bus
or
several
in
favorable
condition
that
we
could
bid
on
that
auction
and
possibly
get
ourselves
some
vehicles
in.
J
However,
I
just
spoke
with
the
o
top
representative
in
flump
us
this
morning
and
she
suggested
that
that
might
be
something
that
could
be
available
in
the
future,
but
we
first
have
to
get
through
the
procedural
hurdles
of
what
do
we
need
to
do
legally
and
legislatively
to
be
ready
to
make
that
kind
of
auction
purchase.
I.
Think
one
thing
that's
important,
for
you
all
to
know
is
price
range
of
these
auctions.
So
I
did
a
survey
about
deals,
calm
and
the
low
end
was
around
$3,700.
The
high
end
was
around
fifteen
thousand
five
hundred.
F
So
I
have
a
couple
questions
a
if
we
purchase
these.
Where
would
we
park
them?
Where
do
we
restore
them
because
I
think
we
have
tight
space
for
that?
But
secondly,
is
there
anything
administrative,
Lee
or
legislatively
that
we
do
that's
similar
to
this?
So
we
know
legislatively
how
to
move
forward
I'm,
not
recalling
anything
but
I,
don't
know
everything
the
clerk
says
no
I,
don't
know
not.
A
H
Given
as
Michael
was
mentioning,
I
mean
I,
went
to
and
I
encouraged
council
to
this
to
go
to
you
know:
gov
deals,
calm
and
look
at
what
they've
got
you
can.
What
you
need
to
do
is
click
on
buses
and
buses
and
bands.
I
think,
is
what
it
says.
Something
like
that
and
I
went
to
it
and
Michael's
right,
the
not
that
you
were
wrong,
but
it
was
I
saw
the
same
things
in
terms
of
the
the
distribution
in
terms
of
costs
and
in
conversations
with
Michael
he's
actually
identified
in
the
past.
H
That
identified
it
a
couple
bosses
that
we're
very
recently
Christ
and
also
it
been
well-maintained
inspected.
Yet
there's
a
location
you
can
go
to
to
have
them
there.
There's
inspection
documentation
with
the
buses
themselves,
but
yes,
I
mean
since
it's
such
a
short
window.
It's
it's
kind
of
like
going
on.
H
C
Compare
it
to
when
we're
budgeting
and
the
police
department
says
they
need
a
new
vehicle
the
next
year.
So
we
stick
38,000
in
their
budget,
haven't
picked
it
out
made
any
promises
to
buy,
but
we
put
the
money
in
there.
So
when
they're
ready
to
go
out
and
make
a
decision,
the
money
is
there
for
them
to
purchase.
As
Debbie
said
you
know,
the
way
we
operate
is
the
money
should
be
in
place
before
you
make
a
promise
to
purchase
president.
A
A
Know
we
can't
do
ization
to
authorize
half
cap
to
enter
to
be
able
to
enter
into
the
auction,
but
then
there
would
be
another
factor
of
just
like
we
appropriated
different
items
like
for
the
generator
and
the
sludge.
Would
we
be
wanting
to
move
forward
with
the
money
for
the
appropriating
for
the
buses.
G
A
H
C
C
C
D
G
H
H
F
The
need
sounds
like
it's
urgent,
I
guess.
We
need
to
establish
that
there's.
The
need
is
there,
which
is
what
you're
saying
and
then
everything
moves
forward
from
there
and
I
think
it
would
give
us
a
better
time
to
see
where
the
monies
are
going
to
come
from.
That
would
make
me
more
comfortable
than
a
suspension
or
anything
else,
and
then
you.
M
M
H
F
F
F
O
It'll
be
the
same
as
what
we
did
last
year,
so
we'll
have
more,
were
planning
on
city
streets
hook
closed
at
the
Valero,
so
from
state
court
Street
from
State
Department,
her
clothes
nn.
So
we
could
stage
down
by
bronies
bronies
for
that
area
and
then
the
whole
street
will
close
at
1:00
p.m.
I'd
be
better
than
your
past.
It
will
put
the
South
State
job
after
that,
so
snakes
will
both
end
at
12:30
left
with
the
black
spear
music,
starting
at
6:00
p.m.
on
the
north
stage
and
then
6:30
on
this
house
tape.
O
F
How
did
things
work
with
that
time?
Last
year,
12.
O
G
G
A
It
is
position
962,
$75,000
a
year
total,
but
that's
for
the
city
and
then
another
65
to
70
thousand
for
the
university
yeah
I
do
have
one
come
or
just
a
question.
We
read
the
honey
for
the
heart
of
the
parade,
which
is
a
grand
event
and
really
enjoyed
it.
Lots
of
families
there,
but
the
only
thing
that
I
noticed
is
is
the
honey
for
the
heart.
O
Yeah
I
think
I
speak
with
Patti
in
here
I'm,
usually
at
the
salsa
days,
I
pop
the
trunk
get
the
North
stage.
We
can
see,
we
mean
the
other
thing.
Is
you
know
we
have
our
stretch
schedule
so
if
they
start
a
little
later
as
well,
because
you
know
we
try
and
time
it
up
so
it
works
out,
but
you
know
there
they
have
so
many
people
have
to
get
there,
so
they
may
start
earlier,
but
we
could
not
play
to
see
if
we
do
like
this.
We.
O
H
I
I
have
spoken
to
several
merchants
who
plan
a
little
bit
of
a
complaint,
their
restaurant
owners,
and
they
indicated
that
some
other
business
actually
drops
off
because
the
vendors
are
permitted
to
sell
so
early
I.
Don't
recall
what
time
they
permitted
to
sell,
but
I
did
want
to
express
on
I
was
concerned
that
actually
that
people
who
should
be
benefiting
from
a
local
festival
like
us
or
actually
maybe
losing
business.
So
if
anything
could
be
done
to
prepare
yeah.
O
O
H
You
to
that
issue,
one
of
the
things
that
was
different
last
year
in
comparison
to
previous
years
was
was
relocating,
where
the
vendors
were
they
migrated
down
on
to
further
east
on
East,
8th
Street.
So
on
the
east
side
of
Court
Street
were
in
the
past,
they
had
been
on
the
west
side
and
they
were
right
there
in
front
of
several
dining
establishments.
But
anyway
you
look
at
it.
There's
going
to
be
dining
establishments,
but
I,
don't
I,
don't
lock
it.
Your
comment,
I
think
that
that
I've
often
thought
about
that
too.
H
O
I
One
other
point:
as
far
as
parking,
there
always
seems
to
be
a
real
problem.
I
know
that
University
goes
through
a
period
of
cracking
down
on
parking.
I
just
wondered
whether
there
would
be
any
opportunity
to
explore
having
parking
not
merely
at
the
fairgrounds
but
even
further
out
and
where
they
hold
the
number
fest
and
maybe
have
some
buses
that
would
carry
people
into
town.
So
we
don't
have
that
apartment
problem.
You
know
I'm,
not
sure
who
communicated
yeah.
O
O
So
they
don't
realize
you
let
the
fairgrounds
but
I,
think
that's
a
great
idea.
You
know,
because
there
is
a
lot
of
space
borrowing.
We
have
any
grain
or
anything
like
that.
You
know
if
it's
muddy,
that
is
a
pit
up
there,
but
they
have
plenty
of
space
and
it's
unused
as
far
as
I
know.
During
Halloween's,
though,.
G
F
H
F
F
D
D
F
D
D
F
D
A
Government
channel
can
help
us
start
publicizing
now
start
talking
about
it,
announcing
it
with
every
reading
of
the
ordinance,
maybe
there's
something
that
we
can
I
mean
they're
gonna
need
to
park
Constance
and
the
walk.
Probably
if
they
can
or
have
somebody
draw,
you
know,
drop
them
off
to
the
back
side
of
a
road
that
is
open
if
they
would
need.
You
know,
because
of
mobility
issues
too,
to
be
able
to
be
closer
but
I
think
with
enough
advanced
preparation,
we
can
get
some
information
out
for.
D
D
F
B
F
F
M
O
P
P
O
P
O
We
love
it,
I
mean
we,
you
love
it,
it's
a
lot
of
work,
but
it's
a
great
event
and
it's
been
changing
and
that's
where
we're
trying
to
keep
working
one
of
the
nice
things
about
flashers.
We
save
some
money
because
we
did
cut
back.
You
know
it
is
a
lot
of
money
but
you're
cheaper
than
before,
because
we
ended
an
hour
earlier.
So
one
of
the
things
I
was
stressing
again
would
love
to
use
the
street
or
something
other
than
music.
During
the
day
we've
had
some
people
reach
out.
O
They
wanted
to
do
a
mile
run
from
the
armory
to
Baker,
but
that
wouldn't
really
work
except
the
stages.
But
you
know
some
groups
have
reached
out
about
using
the
street
enough.
You
know
a
way
other
than
it's
being
used
right
now
and
I.
Think
that's
going
to
happen
next
few
years,
something's
going
to
come
out.
That's
going
to
be
oh
wow,
I,
never
thought
that
you
know
so
and
also
I
want
to
mention
we're
working
on
Saturday
October
27th
for
2018
I
know
we
used
to
come
in
here
and
request
a
street
closure.
O
H
F
H
Yeah
I'd
like
to
follow
up
on
that
I
I
appreciate
that
you
are
looking
for
other
things
to
do.
I
think
that
honey
for
a
heart
honey
for
the
heart
has
been
huge
for
bringing
families
out
on
an
event
that
typically,
they
steer
clear
up.
I'm
interested
I'm,
really
intrigued
by
someone
to
go
see
a
movie.
H
So
I
support
that,
if
the
notion
is
family-friendly
things
earlier
in
the
day
that
could
bring
people
out
to
enjoy
when
the
street
is
already
closed
down
and
I,
think
I
should
share
to
that
I'm
not
going
to
disclose
anything.
But
you
know:
we've
really
been
brainstorming
safety
features
that
we're
building
into
this
event,
given
some
of
the
global
climate
issues
that
we've
observed
that
we've
all
heard
about.
H
So
we're
constantly
looking
at
different
ways
to
do
business
in
this
rather
large,
the
city's
largest
event
so
and
Thank
You
Brandon
for
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
this
for
all
the
years
in
Jonathan,
home
Burke
and
everyone
else
and
city
staff
for
being
involved
in
all
the
pre-planning.
The
pre-planning
takes
the
months.
You
know.
Pre-Planning
starts
eight
months
out
if
I'm
not
mistaken.
H
F
F
H
For
the
LPA,
which
is
the
local
web
project
agreement
and
again
it
is
an
amendment
to
that
project.
It's
a
hundred
earth,
seven,
seventy
one
thousand
four
hundred
and
forty
six
dollars
for
this
project
Oda
is
covering
that
cost.
This
is
to
put
cameras
with
the
the
33
project,
East
8th,
Street
project.
Right
there.
H
There
we
did
ask
whether
there
could
be
some
level
of
our
being
able
to
control
the
camera
or
L
to
jump
on
and
control
it
and
said:
no,
you
can
you
can
stream
it
and
look
at
it,
but
we
can't
sit
there
and
zoom
and
pan
and
do
any
of
those
things
with
the
camera.
So-
and
this
is
this
is
a
project
that
has
been
doing
statewide.
You
know
on
all
the
the
state
highway
system,
you
see,
cameras
all
over
the
place
and
this
will
be
the
first
camera.
That's
in
the
southeast
corridor,
33
there's.
B
E
F
E
H
H
F
D
As
you
know,
Athens
is
the
only
city
of
district
10
that
is
allowed
to
do
these
local
led
projects.
They've
requested
that
we
did
this
with
our
project
they'll
fund
it
100%
I
personally,
would
not
like
to
damage
that
relationship.
It's
a
closed
circuit
camera
system.
There
have
statewide
I,
actually
ask
the
question:
if
it
would
have
the
ability
to
read
the
license
plates,
it's
not
it's
an
our
license,
plate
reader,
so
I
think.
D
F
M
D
M
F
M
F
I
would
just
come
in,
and
this
has
been
a
long-term
planning
project
and
ODOT
district
10
initially
was
discussing
a
more,
maybe
progressive
way
to
move
traffic
with
the
diverging
diamond,
diverging
whatever
and
and
then
the
state
at
up
in
Columbus
decided
that
they
did
not
like
that
project,
so
they
brought
it
down
to
what
is
being
currently
configured.
So
maybe
by
collecting
data
you
know,
I
can
only
see
traffic
continuing
to
increase.
So
maybe
that
is
data
that
will
be
well
served
for
later
on
down
the
road
I.
H
Concur
with
with
the
service
Safety
Director
in
terms
of
the
relationship
that
we
have
with
district
and
the
relationship
that
we
have
with
ODOT
in
general,
and
we
look
at
all
the
transportation
alternative
fundings
that
we've
gotten
were
in
the
queue
for
the
next
three
years
for
some
pretty
major
projects,
and
the
last
thing
I
think
we
want
to
do
is
to
really
kind
of
paint
ourselves
with
our
own
black
eye.
Moving
forward
with
this.
So
again,
these
are
their
traffic
flow
cameras,
they're
all
over
the
state
right.
E
E
F
F
H
P
F
G
F
E
K
B
Q
P
You
president
nicely,
we
have
four
items
this
evening:
traffic
boxes,
our
bench
project,
water,
tap
and
the
County
sewer
corridor.
I
will
likely
lean
on
some
of
my
colleagues
from
Council,
as
well
as
the
mayor's
office
and
a
few
of
our
members
in
the
audience
to
help
me
with
this
evenings
agenda
first
beginning
with
the
traffic
boxes.
P
This,
as
you
recall,
would
be
a
continuation
of
the
thriving
SS.
Excuse
me,
essence
of
Athens
and
our
mission
that
council
has
supported
to
continue
to
embrace
projects
within
the
city
limits
that
are
within
the
essence
of
Athens.
So
this
is
specific
to
the
traffic
boxes.
The
public
works
director
and
municipal
Arts
Commission
and
the
city
administration
had
identified
a
number
of
boxes
around
town
that
would
be
appropriate
for
this
we've
already
installed
a
number
with
the
first
go-around.
This
would
be
the
second
go-around.
P
The
theme
would
be
to
again
be
purely
Athens
or
to
acknowledge
sort
of
an
Athens
esque
message.
That
was
the
message
encouraged
from
the
new
Sports
Commission.
We
do
have
a
presentation
of
some
of
the
work
this
evening,
as
well
as
a
Municipal,
Arts
Commission
newly
newly
minted
member,
miss
Kelly
Lawrence
is
here
to
weather.
P
We
have
any
questions
for
her
or
any
other
guy
he's
I
do
believe
she
was
part
of
the
process
correct
and,
and
if
you
want
to
speak
at
the
podium
thanking
us
Florence
briefly,
the
raps
will
be
removed
after
three
to
five
years,
depending
on
their
condition.
Also,
this
discretion
of
the
city
administration
City
in
general,
if
I
they
need
to
be
removed
and
a
five
hundred
dollar
honorarium
is
awarded
for
each
design,
miss
Lawrence.
If
anything
else.
F
F
H
I
mean
I
can
speak
to
that
personally.
There's
the
one
in
one
box,
wrapped
in
particular,
where
I
find
myself
peeling
off
stickers
on
it
on
occasion,
but
I
think
by
and
large
the
traffic
box
wraps
that
are
out
there.
The
ten
you
know
I'd,
say
the
vast
majority
aren't
being
tagged
with
stickers
or
whatever
and.
F
H
A
H
It
comes
right
off
the
stickers
if
you
get
them
early,
the
stickers
come
off
quickly
as
well,
but
you
know
the
one
that's
down
there
by
on
the
corner
of
Court
Street
and
President
Street.
That
was
the
one
that
used
to
have
all
kinds
of
signage
hanging
all
over
it,
and
that
doesn't
happen.
That's
the
one
where
I
find
stickers
on
occasion
and.
Q
Are
most
of
these
signed
I
mean
I
would
hope
the
artists
would
sign
them.
So
not
sure
we
know.
L
G
H
H
Q
D
M
I
was
just
gonna
ask
where,
where
they
were
gonna
go,
and
it
sounds
like
that's
already
been
answered.
Thank
you,
but
I
will
I
will
mention
that,
and
this
is
just
a
point
that
usually,
when
you
do
add,
distort
type
of
element
to
to
to
the
public.
You
do
find
that
you
do
get
less
vandalism
in
that
situation,
so
I
would
think
that
it's
probably
better
than
what
it
has
been
mmm-hmm.
I
Mcgee
Thank
You,
councilmember,
Butler
I
just
wanted
to
say,
I,
really
like
the
fact
that
these
projects
show
Athens.
They
include
items
of
Athens
and
parts
of
Athens.
No
I
think
it's
wonderful
that
we
actually
have
a
project
that
we're
putting
out
to
tourists
and
people
who
come
in
here
that
actually
reflect
Athens.
Thank
you.
I
H
Meredith
I
just
want
to
mention
one
more
thing
about
these
were
haps.
The
popularity
of
them
is
that
we've
heard
from
some
of
our
police
officers
when
they're
controlling
the
lights
of
me
repeating
the
stadium
at
the
the
ridges
rap.
That's
on
that
particular
traffic
box
are
two
of
them,
actually
that
they
often
get
asked
by
passers-by.
Can
you
please
take
a
photo
of
me
with
whomever
in
front
of
this
round
they
like
them?
P
On
we
have
a
presentation
this
evening
too,
we
have
a
number
of
members
present
from
an
art
bench.
Project
I
believe
miss
Donna,
Goodman,
Marsha,
Schubert,
Chris,
Paul,
Roxanne,
Roxanne,
Groff,
carry
gun,
Tracy
mark
barber,
flowers
and
sis
westendorf
or
Westendorf,
or
here
this
evening.
The
discussion
regarding
me
and
Bart
bench
has
been
something
that
has
been
on
their
mind
and
and
I
do
believe.
They
are
accompanying
with
a
visual
presentation.
This
evening,
too,
it
should
be
accessible
on
that
computer.
P
N
Have
them
give
the
actual
PowerPoint
kind
of
thing,
so
the
art
Kench
group
sprang
out
of
the
Athens
conservancies
desire
to
develop
an
art
and
poetry
tale
on
one
of
our
preserves
and
that
actually
was
an
eidetic
Chris
Paul
with
counsel
we
convened
a
small
group
of
board
members
and
citizens
residents
of
Athens
County
to
see
if
we
could
come
up
with
a
suitable
place
for
that,
and
we
were
not
able
to
do
that.
We
just
couldn't
find
what
we
thought
was
the
perfect
place.
N
So
in
our
discussions
we
sort
of
landed
on
the
idea
well,
how
about
putting
some
interesting
art
benches
in
special
places
up
on
the
bike
trail
and
in
areas
where
maybe
maybe
people
could
sort
of
rest
and
renew
and
areas
that
were
interesting
and
that
didn't
exactly
have
benches
at
this
time.
So
the
group
continued
to
meet
totally
independently
of
the
Athens
Conservancy
and
it
is
independent
of
the
other
conservative.
N
This
point
we've
been
meeting
for
two
years
and
we
have
we're
here
tonight
to
update
you
on
our
project
and
to
ask
for
to
propose
our
first
art
bench
location
to
you
and
to
ask
for
your
approval.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
this
over
to
Carrie
Gunther
Seymour
yeah,
the
other
artists
I
also
want
to
mention,
is
Marcia
Schubert,
and
these
two
are
the
two
people
on
the
group
that
are
artists,
so
Gary's
going
to.
N
R
Here
we
go
okay,
so
we
are.
The
art
committee
have
named
ourselves
and
I
love
that
we
came
after
the
essence
of
Athens,
because
we
are
basically
tailgating
on
the
essence
of
essence,
because
we
are
also
trying
to
bring
some
Beauty
to
the
Athens
area,
specifically
along
the
Hocking
white
path,
as
Donna
mentioned
before
about
two
years
now.
Trying
to
organize
ourselves
find
the
perfect
artists
to
begin
the
project
with
and
begin
fundraising
efforts,
and
we
feel
like
we're
at
that
weight.
So
we're
happy
to
be
here
tonight
and
share
with
you
yeah
okay.
R
So
we
have
that
all
set
up,
though
we
are
spearheading
this
project
and
believe
me,
we
are
very
passionate
and
dedicated
women.
We
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
this
is
a
community-based
project.
If
our
community
is
not
involved
in
this
project,
it
will
not
be
successful,
and
so
we
want
to
make
that
perfectly
clear.
R
Okay,
we
want
to
get
local
businesses
involved,
not
just
for
sponsorship
and
money
of
that
type.
Fundraisers
to
have
them
become
involved
in
well
as
well
and
be
as
excited
about
it
as
we
are.
We
have
set
up
a
selection
process,
we're
gonna
there,
it's
going
to
be
twofold,
so
we're
starting
with
the
first,
which
is
Invitational
so
this
time
round,
we
chose
the
artist
okay,
cool,
the
we
decided
that
we
wanted
to
work
with
people
that
we
knew.
We
could
count
on
that
knew
how
to
do
this
work,
who
knew
about
safety.
R
We
knew
about
safety
standards.
We
knew
about
working
with
the
kind
of
materials
we
would
need
to
create
industrial
benches
that
expand
up
to
time.
Its
kind
of
graffiti
could
stand
up
to
you
know
people
trying
to
beat
them.
We
know
a
lot
of
the
vandalism
that
happens
around
and
surrounding
areas,
so
we
work
very
hard
and
landed
on
to
young
men
that
we
know
that
are
excellent
artists.
R
B
R
And
there's
an
absolutely
perfect
way
to
patch
there
and
your
chickies
already
been
out
with
us
to
look
just
to
see
if
it
taking
feasible.
To
put
something
like
that
there
we
brought
the
artist
there,
you
can
see
Jeff
and
oh
my
gosh
Todd.
Thank
you
standing
there
with
Marcy
and
Donna
and
Roxanne,
and
we
did
a
wonderful
site
view
there
and
it
was.
R
Some
of
you
may
be
aware
of
the
bridge
that
you
cross
to
get
to
West,
8th
Street,
there's
all
those
neat
Boulton
and
old
wood
and
and
bent
metal,
and
then
there's
that
beautiful
iron
that's
been
patinaed
for
years
and
years
from
the
railroad
bridge
that
they
fell
in
love
with,
and
they
said.
Oh,
we
need
to
incorporate
all
this
into
our
artwork
and
make
this
part
of
the
project
and
we
were
like
yes.
R
Yes,
yes,
so
we've
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
with
them
working
through
designs
and
talking
with
them
and
I
will
really
free
iterate.
They
are
willing
to
talk
with
anyone,
who's
interested
in
their
project
and
would
like
to
spend
some
time
with
them.
This
is
the
rendering
that
they
came
up
with
after
we
all
spent
our
time
together
and
made
our
decisions,
and
this
is
a
rather
loose
rendering
that
you
can
see
the
organics
of
it.
We
will
have
organic
material
as
well
as
heavy
metals.
R
All
of
them
are
very
permanent
and
lasting
as
vandalism
proof
as
possible.
Again.
I
reiterate:
these
are
artists
who
know
about
safety
requirements.
They
know
about
materials.
They've
done
a
lot
of
installation
art
work,
particularly
in
the
Marietta
and
surrounding
areas
they're
they're
trustworthy.
They
have
an
excellent
reputation,
they
come
highly
recommended,
and
so
let
me
take
you
on
just
a
little
tour
who
they
are:
here's
Todd
and
Jeff
in
their
studio
space,
and
that
is
their
logo
for
resolve
studios.
R
The
other
visuals
I
included
for
you.
This
is
a
piece
that
was
created
for
the
art,
exhibit
flow
which
Marcy
Schubert
was
co-chair
up
and
they
simply
brought
together
all
these
materials
that
were
found
and
people
are
so
fascinated.
I
spent
hours
and
hours
and
hours
looking
in
this
piece
of
art
that
had
all
kinds
of
midst
and
pennies
and
things
to
do
he's,
men
are
mega
talented
and
what
I?
What
I,
really
loved,
was
what's
Todd's
statement
and
I
know.
R
You've
all
had
time
to
spend
with
it,
but
as
I
walk
the
Athens
bike,
I
could
not
help
but
think
the
strip
with
blacktop
does
far
more
than
serve
as
a
connection
of
two
or
more
places
where
you
ride
from
one
to
the
next.
The
bike
path
connects
two
worlds:
one
natural,
the
other
man-made.
The
bike
path
is
a
causeway
that
allows
one
to
reconnect
with
nature
only
a
little.
L
R
That's
what
we'd
like
to
do
we'd
like
to
give
people
the
opportunity
to
connect
with
nature
in
our
city
in
our
County
in
a
beautiful
way,
and
these
beautiful
benches.
This
is
the
first
one.
We've
worked
very
hard
to
pull
this
together.
We
have
this
amazing
sketch.
We
know
what
we
want
to
do:
we're
ready
to
move
forward
with
fundraising.
We
already
have
partners
who
are
willing
to
fundraise
with
us.
R
We
know
we're
gonna
get
this
money
and
we
know
this
vintage
gonna
be
felt,
and
what
we
need
to
know
is,
if
perhaps
it
could
be
on
this
piece
of
property
that
we've
found.
It
seems
to
us
to
be
perfect
and
could
be
a
lovely
way
to
send
people
out
that
direction,
maybe
visit
little
fish
heart
and
beyond.
R
So
we're
here
tonight
to
ask
for
your
assistance.
These
artists
are
prepared
to
assist
with
the
installation
of
the
piece
and
they
have
put
together
their
own
little
packet.
That
says
what
they
need.
Their
requirements
and
Donna
can
give
you
more
information
about
that,
because
I
mean
you're.
Gonna
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
that.
But
if
you
have
any
questions
concerning
the
artwork
itself
or
these
two
gentlemen
or
resolved
studios
or
anything
about
any
of
us,
I
would
be
happy
to
field
those
questions.
Kitt
thank.
P
E
You
you
all
know
me
personally,
on
a
personal,
just
very
humanist
level.
This
is
very
gratifying
to
see
a
project
that
comes
out
of
just
going
and
traveling
in
other
places
and
come
back
and
morph
into
exactly
what
fits
Athens
I.
Think
some
of
the
things
that
need
to
be
re-imposed
is
that
one
that
you
are
fundraising
the
playing
amount
so
for
maybe
a
small
donation
from
Athens
in
terms
of
body
helping
out
or
some
money,
but
very
small
to
that.
E
The
bench
will
then
become
the
property
of
Athens,
because
it
will
be
on
our
property
along
the
bike
path.
We
won't
need
to
do
a
right
away
agreement
or
anything.
It's
the
community's
gift
to
Athens
in
Athens
gifted
to
the
community
and
I
think
that
those
two
things
are
really
important
to
take
home
tonight
and
that
what
you're
seeking
is
basically
the
like
the
agreement
that
we
did
with
the
Arts
West
artist.
E
K
R
B
N
You,
okay,
so
I
met
with
Andi.
Today
we
have
trouble
getting
our
schedules
together,
but
we
went
out
there
together
today
and
we
walked
out
to
the
site
and
he
we
had
already
had
this
checked
out
with
Andy
Stone's
office.
Jessica
Dean
worked
with
us,
probably
eight
to
twelve
months
ago
regarding
the
location,
so
we
already
knew
that
the
city
engineer's
office
was
okay
with
the
potential
location.
It
wasn't
in
the
middle
of
a
power
line
or
a
right-of-way,
or
anything
like
that.
So
Andy
went
out
there
with
me
I
shot
on
the
site.
N
He
took
some
paint
and
he'd
marked
the
general
area.
He
said
he
had
no
problem
with
it.
We
talked
about
the
orientation
of
the
pens
how
far
off
the
bike
path
that
will
be
probably
five
to
six
feet
off
the
path.
Just
oh,
it's
not
in
anybody's
way,
and
he
had
no
problem
with
it.
We
talked
about
what
we're
going
to
expect
at
the
city
or
we're
hoping
to
expect
at
the
city,
and
that
would
be.
We
would
like,
if
possible,
the
city
to
do
a
little
bit
of
leveling
of
the
site.
N
If
you
look
at
it,
we
also
will
need
the
city
to
pour
a
small,
concrete
pad
of
reiden
rebar,
and
the
artists
will
come
out
and
install
the
bench
and
we'll
they'll
actually
oversee
the
pouring
of
the
concrete
in
summer.
We
also
wondered
if
possibly
the
city
might
be
able
to
donate
a
tree.
I
know
that
you
city's
thinking
down
a
number
of
ash
trees
and
I'm,
hoping
that
possibly
one
of
the
trees
that
you
have
to
replant
could
be
a
tree
that
will
be
over
this
bench
to
provide
this
in
shade.
N
E
E
N
You
it's
up
above
the
wetlands,
it's
almost
almost
where
the
spur
meets
the
existing
older
bike
path,
very
close
to
the
newish
bridge
that
goes
across
the
river
to
route
682,
and
so
it's
a
little
bit
elevated
over
the
wetland
area.
So
there's
really
nice
to
do
the
wetland
and
there's
this
beautiful
arc
in
the
path
set
overlooks
that
and
it
it
looks
east.
So
it
gazes
to
these.
K
H
H
G
H
Idea,
I
just
tell
you
upfront
as
I'm
looking
at
this
I
look
at
the
what's
going
to
be
the
Frank
Murphy
wetlands
preserve,
which
is
it
the
new
bike
path
spur
to
the
Columbus
Road,
possibly
in
the
future,
assessing
that
for
a
site
that
also
has
some
high
ground
that
looks
down
on
what
will
be
probably
our
best
birding
sites
in
the
city
about
them.
So
I
yeah
below
with
this
I,
like
this
I.
N
Already
have
that
that
one
picked
out
as
well
so
and
the
other
there's
one
other
site
in
the
city
that
we
are
thinking
about,
I'll
just
mention
it,
and
that
is
around
the
community.
Gardens
I,
don't
know
about
you,
but
every
time
I
go
past.
The
community,
gardens
and
I'm
on
my
bike.
I
always
have
to
stop
and
gaze.
So
beautiful,
there's
so
many
interesting
things
to
look
at
so
another
site
that
wouldn't
it's
it's
another
possible
venture
Slade.
E
Also
like
to
point
out
that
this
process
that
has
come
out
of
this
group
will
serve
as
a
model
for
other
park
benches,
the
bike
benches
that
that
could
go
on
in
the
future.
It
sets
out,
you
know,
expectations
and
how
to
do
fundraising
and
the
expectations
of
the
city
and
anybody
donating
a
bench,
and
so
it
will
be
a
great
model
for
these
others.
People's
faces,
something
that
the
community
can
move
and
move
into
and
and
such
Thank.
I
You
I
would
applaud
you
I
think
it's
wonderful,
it's
really
a
wonderful
band
chance,
I,
miss
Goodman
I,
would
certainly
applaud
you.
I
would
just
make
one
suggestion.
Please
bring
some
of
your
benches
into
town
and
I
would
suggest
one
by
the
courthouse
and
and
get
up
to
the
Athens
County
Bar
Association
to
it,
because
I
think
that
we
should
definitely
do
it
and
I
I
think
that
you
all
are
providing
some
inspiration
that
we
really
need.
So
again.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
That's.
F
Just
wanted
to
comment
that
the
quality
of
the
art
and
the
organic
nature
of
it
totally
is
setting
a
bar
for
more
benches
to
come
and
what
other
art
projects
that
that
Athens
has,
and
you
need
to
take
your
hats
off
to
to
providing
that
level
of
artistic
quality.
So
I
really
appreciate
that,
and
thank
you
thank.
P
N
H
Could
number
Butler,
but
it's
also
something
that
we
do
budget
for
eMac,
the
Municipal
Arts
Commission.
You
know
I
think
this
past
year
we've
got
you
almost
fifteen
thousand
dollars
into
art
projects
which
has
been
murals
and
the
wraps
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
we
can
continue
and
will
continue
to
budget
for
them.
Well
I'm
looking
at
this-
and
it
is
this
correct
that
this
bench
is
going
to
be
just
south
of
five
thousand
dollars
and
four
thousand
nine
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
So
we're
talking
budgeting
into
a
mad
me
something
similar
to
that.
A
I
E
P
N
R
We
really
are
a
committee,
we
all
have.
We
all
bring
certain
gifts
and
skill
sets,
so
we
do
tag-team,
but
our
very
first
fundraising
event
is
is
set
up.
We
didn't
want
to
move
forward
without
knowing
how
all
of
you
felt
about
our
project.
R
That's
made
that
day
and
make
a
flag
that
will
be
held
up
on
the
day
that
we
dedicate
the
first
pitch,
and
this
is
going
to
be
an
afternoon
or
a
set
fee
which
is
not
a
large
fee,
but
it's
mostly
to
get
the
word
out
there
for
people
to
know
what's
happening.
We
also
have
a
new
Facebook
page,
which
went
up
about
two
weeks
ago,
a
very
quiet
launch
of
a
Facebook
page,
which
already
has
75
friends
when
we
make
it
official
I.
R

G
H
His
opinion
in
reading
Oh
rc7
forty
three
point:
one
two
through
seven,
forty
three
point,
one
four:
that
the
administration
is
the
authority
to
to
do
this,
but
he
also
felt
that
it's
probably
prudent
for
council
to
having
put
together
an
ordinance
authorizing
this
resident.
The
resident
will
be
paying
for
the
extension
up
to
the
property
itself.
H
M
H
M
M
F
D
H
I
So
this
is
a
side
topic,
but
I
praised
on
several
occasions.
My
concern
for
the
safety
of
students
who
cross
the
bridge
to
go
over
to
Long
Hill
and
walk
on
the
that
area
and
I've
been
told
that
it's
outside
city
limits.
So
the
city
of
course,
can't
do
anything
to
protect
the
safety
of
its
citizens
and
I'm
a
little
distressed
that
we
would
instead
be
providing
water
to
people
outside
the
city
limits
and
yet,
at
the
same
time,
use
an
excuse
that
we
have
no
power
to
do
anything.
I
H
I
As
to
the
strength
of
an
argument
that
we
have
no
authority
or
any
power
whatsoever
to
do
something
that
protects
our
citizens,
because
I
think
we
really
need
to
do
something.
Someone
I'm
gonna
get
buy
a
car
one
of
these
days,
especially
I,
believe
with
the
new
traffic
that
will
be
experiencing
from
the
roundabout.
So
that's
my
concern
and
I
hope
you'll.
Take
that
into
account.
Thank
you.
I
F
D
E
P
Comments
moving
forward
with
the
County
sewer
corridor,
the
administration
has
some
updates.
I
know
that
my
colleague
on
council
comes
from
a
burp
all
worked
extensively
as
well
and
past
working
with
the
county
and
the
city
looking
at
disagreements
to
potentially
move
forward
with
this
extension
through
the
corridor
of
our
sewer
system.
As
you
recall,
we
extensive
improvements
to
our
city's
sewer
system
a
few
years
back
invested
millions
of
dollars
in
this
project
and
it's
been
working
efficiently
and
effectively
now
continued
to
receive
updates,
but
mayor's
office.
D
You
originally
passed
the
ordinance
allowing
us
to
enter
into
this
agreement.
The
agreement
has
never
been
signed
because
we
have
to
negotiate
rates
and
one
honey.
So
our
most
recent
discussion
wound
up
and
you
should
have
received
in
your
box
VirtualBox
there,
the
new
agreement
with
the
strike
throughs
and
the
different
changes
that
we
just
regarding
it's.
H
B
B
H
Yeah,
one
of
the
things
we
had
to
do
is
negotiate
the
rate
with
the
further
the
the
city
shall
invoice
the
county
at
a
rate
of
70
percent,
of
its
current
user
sewage
rate
for
the
sewage
treatment
based
upon
the
cumulative
Court
of
portable
water
flow
on
a
monthly
basis.
Another
thing
that
we're
going
to
be
tracking
is
I
and
I,
which
is.
B
H
And
so
it's
not
anticipated.
However,
one
of
the
things
that
we
looked
at
closely
since
we're
not
providing
water
out
in
that
area
we
are
receiving
the
will
be
receiving
sewage.
Obviously,
with
the
sewer
line
is
we'll
be
monitoring
at
three
tie-in
points
into
the
city,
and
what
will
be
monitoring?
Is
the
water
use?
That's
going
on
in
that
area.
H
And
what
we're
receiving
we'll
also
be
looking
at
at
any
uptick
in
the
intensity
of
the
sewage
that
we're
receiving,
and
what
will
happen
is
is
if
we
see
a
discrepancy
of
8%,
there
ends
up
becoming
essentially
kind
of
a
surcharge
or
a
penalty
charge
that
comes
into
place
and
it
can
increase
at
a
half
a
percent
a
year
if
it
continues
or
if
it
goes
up.
So
we've
built
that
in
but
that
penalty.
H
D
D
Yes,
the
county
is
preparing
to
move
forward
with
their
public
hearings
the
next
step
in
their
process.
They
are
also
obligated
funds
under
federal
loans,
similar
to
what
we
work
with,
and
so
they
are
indeed
requesting
adoption
of
these
modifications
so
that
they
can
get
their
public
hearing
scheduled
they're
under
the
federal
law,
which
it
expires,
September
30th,
in
order
to
try
to
obtain
their
greatest
reach.
Moving
for
similar
to
what
we've
talked
about
with
our
water
treatment
plan.
So.
E
A
little
background
I
think
it's
an
order
because
it
has
been
such
a
long
process.
This
was
put
forward.
This
has
been
talked
about
in
our
last
comprehensive
plan.
Some
of
these
issues-
TransAm,
truly
but
I-
think
it's
important
for
people
to
understand
that
it's
sewer,
not
water,
that
the
county
is
taking
on
all
responsibility
for
passing,
filling
those
certain
things
it's
their
pony
to
go
out
and
do
these
public
hearings.
Basically,
we
are
entity,
that's
sitting
in
the
background.
That
said,
this
makes
sense
for
the
city.
E
F
So
I
have
a
question
on
the
map
when
you
think
of
sewage
and
issues
with
sewage,
you
know
we're.
We
know
that
they're
having
difficulties
with
their
septic
systems
out
there.
This
is
one
of
the
reasons
they
they
want
to
put
in
sewer
lines
and
what,
when
you
look
at
the
map,
the
the
red
or
pink
there's
pieces
that
butt
up
against
our
city
limits
so
I'm,
just
kind
of
thinking
of
environmental
issues
or
quality
issues
that
way,
I'm
thinking
that
these
areas
are
more.
F
Wooded
fields
not
as
developed
that
the
blue
areas
are
what
are
more
developed,
and
this
is
future.
Outgrowth
is
the
red
areas,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
the
public
understands
that
the
areas
they're
going
for
currently
our
areas
that
are
already
developed
currently
have
septic
needing
to
upgrade
and
all
those
kinds
of
things
and
then
I
think.
Another
comment
for
historical
purposes
is
the
EPA
has
been
talking
to
Evans
County
government
for
quite
some
time
about
their
concerns,
just
like
they
have
in
the
city
of
Athens.
F
N
F
E
The
county
was
like
well,
we
want
this,
and
this
and
this
because
we
want
to
you
know,
do
these
developments,
but
our
line
was
we're
not
going
to
provide
sewer
for
these
sort
of
areas
because
one
they
are
not
they
don't
subject,
they
don't
have
houses
on
them
and
we're
not
interested
in
help
in
doing
out
of
city
development.
That
potentially
could
be
a
drag
on
our
city
taxes,
and
that
was
for
me,
the
bargaining
line
that
I
would
not
vote
from
above,
and
the
county
came
to
our
point.
H
Know
I
should
to
that
point.
Let
me
read
this
because
I
think
this
is
important
and
it
kind
of
highlights
what
number
fall
was
just
mentioning
and
anything
is
about
alluded
to
by
several
of
you
under
Section
four
service
area,
the
exhibit
a
a
that
you
were
just
referring
to.
It
includes
up
to
fifteen
hundred
total
equivalent
single
family
units,
of
which
no
more
than
four
percent
will
be
commercial,
and
no
more
than
one
percent
was
the
industrial
ESF
use.
H
These
percentages
shall
be
based
upon
the
county
auditor's
parcel
identifications,
any
new
resident
any
new,
non-resident
taps
beyond
the
initial
design
may
be
reviewed
by
the
city
and
compliance
with
these
percentages.
Any
additional
taps
beyond
the
1500
ESF
use
must
be
subject
to
a
separate
future
agreement
between
the
county
in
the
city.
H
Capacity
fee
at
the
current
city
fee
structure,
in
effect
at
the
time
of
the
tap
the
current
currently
$3,000
per
es,
fu,
which
the
county
shall
collect
and
pay
the
seventy
percent
revenue
collected
with
the
capacity
faith
in
the
city
of
what
no
no
connections
to
the
system
shall
be
made
on
the
force
main
providing
flow
to
the
city's
system
unless
the
flow
is
independently
monitored.
So
this
is
speaking
to
additional
monitoring
of
this
for
accountancy.
H
P
E
R
E
E
H
I
Just
want
the
record
to
note,
as
the
City
Council
Commissioner
for
the
disabilities
and
I
have
not
received
any
notice
from
any
member
of
the
Commission
as
to
this.
Nor
have
I
received
any
recent
notice
of
any
meetings.
So
I
do
want
to
make
that
clear
that
if
they're
asking
city
council
to
increase
the
members
that
I
suppose
at
least
of
a
courtesy,
they
should
at
least
send
us
an
email
that
would
indicate
exactly
what
they're
asking
the.
I
A
D
E
Going
for
it,
you
will
be
on.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Sometimes
these
things
get
overlooked
sometimes,
and
maybe
we
should
just
as
a
side
make
sure
that
all
the
liaisons
on
council
know
which
Commission's
they're
kind
of
overlooking
and
that
sort
of
stuff.
So
we
know
that
whether
we're
missing
it
or
not
like
we
have
to
find
a
new
council
person
to
go
on
to
the
sustainability
at
some
point,
because
Jennifer
was
the
liaison,
so
I
think
make
sure
that
you're,
like
I,
have
a
spreadsheet
I
got
you
know,
and
so.
D
F
H
Know
just
to
throw
this
out
there
remember
McGee
I
think
it
might
have
been
in
your
favor
to
reach
out
to
Laura
edge
the
chair
of
the
Commission
and
ask
for
those
minutes
or
anything
else.
If
you
all
of
a
sudden,
we're
dropping
off
dropped
off
the
radar
for
that
in
particular.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate.
I
E
Okay,
so
that
will
come
forward.
Okay
and
last
on
our
agenda
is
our
parking
amendments?
If
this
isn't
the
parking
permit,
modeled
experimental
permitting?
This
is
looking
at
changing
our
ordinances
and
our
language
in
the
code
to
update,
because
now
we're
not
necessarily
talking
about
parking
meters,
we're
talking
about
pay,
centers
and
those
sort
of
languages.
This
will
update
the
code
for
all
that
language,
because
now
we're
going
into
the
future
with
these
and
I
think
that
will
help
yeah
Park
mobile
I.
E
E
L
H
E
I
Thank
you,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
on
the
parking
garage
like
another
since
I'm
one
of
these
people
that,
through
my
office,
I
have
a
monthly
payment
and
I
have
a
reserved
spot.
I've
noticed
that,
quite
often
the
lower
levels
of
the
parking
garage
are
not
being
used
and
though
sometimes
oftentimes,
when
it's
high
use
in
the
rest
and
I've
noticed
that
visitors
to
Athens
or
citizens
can't
find
parking
spaces
in
the
parking
garage.
I
H
See
the
same
thing,
especially
during
the
summer,
where
I
think
a
lot
of
likely
students
are
leasing,
some
of
these
spaces
and
then
they're
gone
for
the
summer,
and
so
that
space
is
just
sitting
there
not
being
utilized.
We
could
explore
some
things.
Emember
Magee
I
mean
one
thing
that
we
worked
really
hard
at
when
I
was
on.
Council
was
the
the
vendor
spaces,
because
I
often
scratched
my
head
too
wondering
why
this
space
is
just
sitting
here
and
no
one's
in
it.
H
Yeah
it's
been
leased
by
somebody
and
I
believe
it's
got
language
in
requiring
them
to
be
there
for
a
certain
person.
So
many
days
a
week
or
a
percentage,
Lamont
I,
don't
remember
what
it
was,
but
we
can.
We
could
explore
some
different
options
along
those
lines,
but
if
someone
is
leasing,
it
they're
leasing
it.
I
I
H
Can
certainly
you
know,
city
planner
following
is,
is
doing
a
parking
assessment
in
a
large
parking
study.
It's
on
underway
right
now,
as
it's
moving
forward
and
I
think
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
significant
portion
of
a
comprehensive
plan
moving
forward,
but
maybe
we
can
yeah
this.
This
will
either
be
a
significant
portion.
We
can
get
it
into
the
comprehensive
planning
or
maybe
something
out
of
the
study.
We
can
augment
it
because
I
think
the
parking
garage
is
being
looked
at
to
a
degree
within
this
study.
H
I
think
most
of
it,
though,
is
taking
place
on
the
streets
for
the
parking
study
to
include
loading
zones.
That's
another
area
where
I
know
we're
going
off-topic
just
a
tad,
but
we
aren't
talking
about
parking,
and
that
is
the
loading
zones
and
do
loading
zones
need
to
be
marked
from
7:00
a.m.
or
whatever
the
beginning
point
is
to
2:00
p.m.
which
can
interfere
with
people
wanting
to
go
to
a
restaurant
in
the
Uptown
area
over
the
noon
hour
or
something
for
lunch.
So
yeah
we're
looking
at
a
lot
of
parking
issues.
