Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
Our
first
item
of
business
is
to
establish
a
quorum
and
all
council
members
are
present
except
Michelle.
Patty.
Excuse
me,
how
could
I
miss
her
so
well
look
forward
to
her
return.
Next
week
we
now
have
ordinances
for
a
third
reading,
the
first
one
being
ordinance
57
17.
This
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
water
line,
replacement
on
avon
and
a
portion
of
Dalton
Avenue,
which
is
project
number
310.
It
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Butler
Thank.
B
You
president
nicely
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
adopt
ordinance
57
17.
Sorry,
thank
you.
If
you
recall,
this
ordinance
is
an
attempt
to
improve
our
aging
infrastructure.
This
authorizes
the
city
service,
Safety
Director,
to
expend
up
to
four
hundred
and
sixty-seven
thousand
dollars
from
the
water
fund
to
address
this,
this
need
and
again
as
noted,
this
would
replace
water
lines
on
Avon
and
a
portion
of
Dalton.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
C
C
D
A
E
Thank
You
president
nicely
this
ordinance
is
to
do
our
annual
street,
paving,
which
is
a
really
important
part
of
what
the
city
does
every
summer
and
of
note
is
the
fact
that
we
will
be
doing
more
street
paving
this
summer,
because
we
were
able
to
allocate
more
funds
to
this
project
because
of
our
recent
levy
that
we
passed.
So
we
appreciate
folks
supporting
that
levy.
That
means
that
we
get
to
contribute
more
to
the
city's
infrastructure,
so
I
move
to
adopt
ordinance,
0:59,
17,
okay,.
A
D
A
B
You
president
nicely
we
discussed
this
committee
and
then
obviously
we're
on
third
reading
there's
a
number
of
items
here
that
are
no
longer
needed.
We
have
a
scale:
a
couple
of
waste
water
pump,
motors
to
raw
wastewater
pump
basis
to
raw
wastewater
pump
out
volumes
and
impellers,
and
a
few
other
smaller
motors
as
well,
15
horsepower
and
again
this
authorizes
the
city
service,
Safety
Director,
to
dispose
of
these
these
items
and
to
other
government
agencies,
nonprofits,
501,
C,
3
s,
etc.
Thank
you
and.
D
F
Know
Ricker
Stalin
went
on
and
went
to,
eBay
wrote
him
wherever
to
see
what
the
value
was
and
the
value
was
was
low.
It
was
a
little
over
$1000
for
the
weir
pumps
and
scale.
He
never
could
really
find
a
comparable
price,
but
for
the
motors
of
the
pumps
he
did
his
due
diligence
and
it
ranged
as
I
remember
correctly,
between
a
thousand
$20
to
$1500
for
some
of
these
items,
but
again
it's
a
above
a
thousand,
so
this
is
the
right
way
to
dispose.
F
A
D
A
D
You,
madam
president,
as
discussed
in
committee,
this
is
basically
moving
some
funds
around
seven
thousand
five
dollars.
Will
we
go
to
the
community
center
fund
for
comm,
Corp,
Hopewell
health,
wellness
program,
$6,100
to
capital
improvements,
fund,
police
department
and
twenty-five
thousand
to
internal
service
funds,
to
cover
claims
for
service
garage
fire
and
increase
in
the
total
appropriations
by
set
amount?
A
Second,
all
right:
we
have
a
motion
and
second
any
other
comments
or
questions.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye,
opposed,
nay
motion
carries
the
ordinance
is
approved
ordinance.
Sixty
two
seventeen
is
an
ordinance
amending
ordinance,
five,
seventeen,
the
2017
staffing
levels
in
the
mayor's
office
and
declaring
an
emergency.
This
is
introduced
by
the
finance
and
Personnel
Committee.
Thank.
D
You,
madam
president,
I
move
that
we
adopt
sixty
two
seventeen.
Second,
this
is
a
small
amendment
to
the
ordinance
of
five
seventeen,
as
you
can
see
on
your
copy
on
your
hard
drive
where,
where
it
says
general
mayor,
Administrative,
Coordinator
we're
striking
out
well
increased
to
one
through
eight
3117,
that's
being
changed
to
one.
B
A
G
H
That's
quite
prepared,
but
yes,
you
know
we've
we're
new
to
being
in
the
cemetery
business
and
there
are
different
laws
about
that
now
and
what
kind
of
funds
you
can
use
and
who
can
work
where
and
naturally
it
makes
sense
for
George
our
lands
and
buildings
director
to
supervise
the
you
know:
maintenance
for
the
cemetery,
but
he
also
does
it
for
the
all
over
the
city,
so
he
it's
better
for
him
to
be
able
to
share
people,
but
we
need
to
be
able
to
pay
them
appropriately.
H
We
have
splits
with
other
funds.
This
is
all
within
the
general
fund.
However,
the
staffing
ordinance
needs
to
match
that,
as
you
recall,
we
have
someone,
you
know
say
Andy,
as
EPW
he's
paid
partly
out
of
water,
partly
out
of
sewer,
partly
out
of
streets.
So
this
is
nothing
unusual.
We
have
several
other
people
in
the
city
that
are
paid
from
different
areas.
H
However,
the
staff
they
has
to
match
up
how
we
need
to
pay
them
and
we
need
I
believe
a
full-time
person
in
cemetery
and
part-time
and
lands
and
buildings
so
that
George
isn't
using
his
lands
and
buildings
person
at
the
cemetery
and
vice
versa.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
still
have
your
information
on
that
and
what.
D
H
G
That's
true,
but
its
staff.
This
morning,
George
and
Wilson,
our
deputy
director
plans
and
buildings
was
stating
that
he
needed
to
have
all
hands
on
deck
and
ready
to
have
the
cemetery
spruced
up
the
auditors
offices,
who
stated
that
it
has
to
be
thorough,
all
general
fund.
So
that
was
my
one
question
is
why
cemetery
deemed
a
proprietary
endeavor.
A
H
We
have
a
part-time
person
in
the
cemetery
who
works
year-round,
but
only
part-time,
but
in
you
know
this
time
of
year,
there's
a
lot
more
to
do,
and
so
he
needs
to
be
able
to
share
both
of
these
people.
So
they
can
work
together,
whether
they're
working
on
city
buildings
or
in
the
cemetery.
So
we're
talking
about
low
hourly
wages,
and
you
know
seasonal
person
and
part-time,
not
full-time,
no
benefits.
It's
just
a
matter
of
getting
to
a
number
of
positions
in
the
staffing
ordinance.
A
H
A
A
A
G
We
came
to
this
place
due
to
the
restriction
we
used
to
have
as
needed,
and
then
it
was
requested
that
we
identify
numbers.
You
know
to
fill
those
laws,
so
that's
kind
of
the
back
history
of
how
we
got
to
this
right
now.
It's
showing
one
seasonal
worker,
one
seasonal
landscaper,
but
three
cemetery
maintenance.
H
Well,
he
doesn't
have
three
cemetery
maintenance
people,
that's
the
other
thing.
These
positions
aren't
necessarily
all
going
to
be
filled,
but
he
has
a
seasonal
person
that
he
needs
for
the
cemetery.
So
we
need
to
add
a
seasonal
line
in
our
staffing
ordinance
for
the
cemetery
and
then
we
need
a
part-time
person
in
the
lands
and
buildings.
Okay,
so.
I
D
D
A
D
A
We'll
move
on
to
ordinances
for
second
reading,
and
there
will
be
one
other
of
these
in
the
second
reading
that
will
also
be
suspended.
Just
forewarn
you
and
an
amend
and
amend
to
one
more
but
ordinance
6417
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
southeast,
Ohio
public
energy
counsel,
known
so
pack
and
eight
has
agent
for
the
city
to
enter
into
a
natural
gas
program
agreement
with
the
Northeast
Ohio
Public
Energy
Council,
which
is
known
as
no
Peck,
and
this
is
introduced
by
all
members
of
council
ordinance.
A
65
17
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
Safety
Director
to
submit
an
application
and
enter
into
a
water
supply.
Revolving
loan
account
agreement
and
designating
dedicated
repayment
source
for
the
loan.
This
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Butler
ordinance.
66
17
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service,
Safety
Director,
to
acquire
right-of-way
to
advertise
and
accept
bids
where
necessary
and
enter
into
contracts
for
construction
engineering
services
and
right-of-way
acquisition
services
for
the
West
Union
Street
sidewalk
extension
project.
That's
project
number:
three:
zero:
nine
introduced
by
councilmember
Papy
ordinance,
sixty
seven.
A
Seventeen
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service
Safety
Director
to
advertise
and
accept
bids
where
necessary
and
enter
into
contracts
for
construction
and
engineering
services
for
the
East
State
Street
us
33
project
number
288
and
authorizing
the
auditor
to
make
an
interfund
transfer.
This
is
introduced
by
councilmember
pappy
ordinance.
Sixty
eight
seventeen
is
an
ordinance
amending
the
2017
appropriation
ordinance
and
is
introduced
by
councilmember
Eisner.
A
H
A
D
D
E
I
A
D
H
These
are
bank
charges.
The
bank
has
changed
the
way
we
get
charged
for
things
we
actually
don't
get
charged
for
a
lot
of
things,
but
now
we
are,
and
so
these
are
bank
charges
on
the
Municipal
Court
bank
accounts,
and
originally
the
amount
was
a
little
bit
higher.
It
included
some
charges
from
2015.
However,
there's
already
money
in
place
encumbered
on
a
Pio
to
pay
those,
so
really
all
we
need
is
a
approval
to
pay
2016
fees,
which
is
the
six
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
eight
thousand
dollar.
Okay,.
D
H
A
D
A
Nay,
the
ordinance
has
been
amended
and
read
for
the
first
time
then
ordinance.
Seventy
17
is
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
lease
of
property
not
currently
needed
for
a
municipal
purpose,
and
this
is
introduced
by
councilmember
fall.
I
believe
that
those
are
the
last
of
the
ordinances
for
tonight,
so
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
so
moved.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye.
D
B
You
president
Isley
this
evening
we're
fortunate
enough
to
have
a
guest
in
our
presence
here
who
has
driven
in
from
out
of
town
to
give
us
an
update
on
the
progress
of
our
municipal
pool.
Mr.
Keith
Hall
is
here
from
MSA
prior
to
maybe
him
jumping
into
the
presentation.
I
can
also
see
if
the
administration
wants
to
offer
anything
as
well
as
part
of
the
introduction.
Thank
you.
C
G
Welcome
you
here
this
evening
and
you
will
be
going
through
the
slides
that
takes
you
in
terms
of
his
latest
and
close
to
final
construction
estimate,
and
then
we
will
ask
that
you
look
closely
at
this
schedule
in
terms
of
saving
through
the
ordinances
to
be
able
to
get
this
out
to
be
rewarded.
This
summer.
F
Speaking
of
which
I
mean
what
sort
of
safety
director
just
mentioned,
something
that
we've
been
talking
about
within
the
staff,
especially
this
morning,
is
the
thought
of
having
a
decommissioning
event
for
our
43
year
old
swimming
pool
as
we
transition
from
the
old
to
the
new.
But
again
this
which
you've
got
before
you
is
kind
of
the
culmination
of
everything
that's
been
gone.
It
has
got
into
this
project
at
this
point
in
time,
obviously,
probably
still
some
tweaking
to
be
done
as
we
move
forward.
But
what
forward
at
the
presentation?
Thank.
B
K
This
is
just
our
process.
I've
always
I've
had
this
slide
in
here
from
day
one.
You
know
we
started
out
with
some
community
engagement
last
summer,
pretty
intense
and
then
went
into
a
schematic.
Design
went
through
some
design
development
now
we're
into
construction
documents
and
I'm
doing
a
little
bit
of
catch-up
tonight
with
you
on
some
of
the
activities
we
did
through
the
design
development
process.
K
K
So
if
you're
going
to
have
a
decommissioning
event
got
to
get
there
quick,
otherwise
the
general
contractor
is
going
to
do
that.
For
you,
the
run
through
some
of
the
amenities,
this
has
always
been
theirs,
and
you
know,
since
the
last
time
you
know,
we've
been
talking,
will
have
a
main
activity
pool
it's
zero
entry,
the
sprayground,
the
top
pool
and
I'm
going
to
show
a
plan
with
all
this
on
there.
K
In
a
minute,
the
lap
pool
with
a
connected
deep,
well
diving
pool
to
run
out
sides,
some
pool
amenities
which
include
climbing
walls,
slides
geysers
and
some
shade
structures
typical
stuff,
the
pool
house
which
tonight
you're
going
to
get
your
first
of
you
in
terms
of
what
it
looks
like
architectural,
the
pool
equipment
building
it
sort
of
runs
parallel
to
the
to
the
pool
house
and
then
the
the
pool
itself
we
have
administration
in
between
us.
We've
made
a
conscious
decision
to
move
forward
with
the
saltwater
coordination
or
the
salt
chlorination
system
for
the
pool.
K
So
it's
it's
commonly
called
a
saltwater
pool
is
going
to
be
what's
bid
and
so
we're
going
to
move
forward
with
that
the
cost
estimate.
This
is
the
same
estimate
that
I
was
presenting
back
a
few
months
ago.
We
don't
feel
like
it's
changed
a
whole
lot.
I
am
just
now
getting
into
updating
this
based
on
where
we
are
at
in
construction
documents
and
we're
at
about
80
percent.
K
So
I
have
a
more
information
and
I'm
going
to
you,
know,
sort
of
get
my
consultants
involved
and
tighten
this
up
a
little
bit,
but
we
feel
as
if
we're
we're
on
target
with
the
budget
and
everything
we
are
pushing
the
limits.
Since
we,
since
we
did
go
to
the
the
salt
water
chlorination
type
system,
we
are
sort
of
you
know
pushing
on
some
budgets.
K
So
what
we're
going
to
do
to
protect
ourselves
through
bidding
a
little
bit
is
we're
going
to
we're
going
to
put
in
some
alternates
into
the
bid
some
things
you
want,
but
at
least
it
allows
us
to
put
the
put
the
project
together.
If
we
start
to
kind
of
approach
over
that,
you
know
go
over
the
estimated
cost.
A
K
Is
it's
mostly
a
site
site
cost
and
some
different
things
we're
doing
and
everything
and
that's
that's
pretty
typical
it'll
creep
up
and
then
it
will
sometimes
start
to
creep
down
a
little
bit.
So
I
still
think
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
within
the
the
money
that's
been
allocated
for
the
project.
So
thanks.
K
This
is
an
overall
site
plan,
I'm
going
to
immediately
just
go
to
the
next
slide,
because
it's
a
little
it
zooms
in
on
a
little
bit
better.
But
you
can
start
to
see.
This
is
not
too
much
different
than
what's
been
presented
in
the
past.
You
know
if
you
come
in
at
the
front,
there's
the
the
the
pool
house
building
on
one
side
we're
going
to
have
the
that's
this
side
right
here.
K
I
would
call
that
more
of
the
administrative
side
and
I'll
show
some
blown-up
plans
and,
what's
actually
in
that
side
and
on
the
other
side,
is
more
of
the
restrooms
and
user
amenities
you
get
the
splash
pad
the
top
hole,
the
zero
entry,
the
slides
and
then
the
lap
pool
with
the
dive
well,
as
well
as
the
pool
mechanical
building.
That
will
be
accessed
off
the
side.
K
Driveway,
that's
err!
The
splash
pad
you've
heard
me
I'm,
you
know
a
number
of
times
and
you
you've
got
it
on
your
wall
out.
Here
talk
about
the
essence
of
Athens
and
that
exercise
if
you've
gone
through
and
we
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
in
turn
evaluating
that
and
trying
to
figure
out.
You
know
how
we
can
use
that
process
that
you
went
through
to
influence
through
the
design
of
the
project
so
that
the
design
of
the
project
reflects
what
the
community
is
all
about
or
its
essence.
K
So
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
in
that
essence
program
was
your
your
folk
art
and
all
that
stuff,
and
so
we're
looking
at
the
splash
pad
is
an
opportunity,
maybe
to
do
a
little
bit
of
an
art
amenity
on
the
on
the
splash
pad
surface
itself.
So
that's
primarily
going
to
be
some
epoxy
coverings
on
the
ground,
won't
be
stained
concrete,
because
stained
concrete
will
fade
over
time,
so
it'll
be
long-lasting
and
again.
K
This
is
one
of
those
things
that
sort
of
adds
to
the
cost,
and
you
know
with
every
time
we
add
something
like
this:
we're
pushing
the
limits
of
it.
So
we
we're
going
to
bid
the
project
that
allow
us
to
make
decisions
as
we
as
we
bid
the
project.
But
we
think
this
is
a
pretty
cool
idea
and
helps
give
that
area
some
some
visual
interest
as
well
as
it
ties
it
to
the
community.
K
K
If
you
look
at
my
pointer
and
then
another
one
right
there,
and
so
that
essentially
takes
that
community
room
and
makes
it
a
covered
outdoor
shelter,
you
can
close
the
one
door
off
to
the
pool
and
still
host
birthday
parties
in
September
when
you're
getting
that
third
season
Alvia
out
of
the
splash
pad
itself.
So
we
think
that's
going
to
offer
you
lots
of
versatility
as
well
as
well,
maybe
a
little
bit
of
ROI
on
the
rentals.
You
know
down
the
road
as
you
you
know,
go
to
the
community
with
it.
K
K
We
have
a
these
two
areas
right
here.
Those
are
showers
and
then
the
areas
below
are
just
changing
rooms
without
showers,
so
you
can
go
in
there
and
you
can
just
go
into
a
stall.
It's
almost
like
a
fitting
room
in
a
store
and
change
without
having
to
work
around
stopping
your
toilets
and
kids
trying
to
touch
toilets
and
do
all
that
stuff.
K
So
then
we,
the
other,
you
know
the
lockers
that
face
the
pool
area,
the
mechanical
room
and
stuff
like
that
support
space
and
then
down
further
on
the
site
towards
the
river
is
where
we've
located
the
concessions,
the
in
a
separate
building.
The
concessions
are,
you
know,
they're,
not
really
cooking
food
in
there,
most
of
that's
pre,
wrapped
or
pre,
or
pre,
cooked
or
pizza
being
brought
in
and
served,
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
I
don't
think
it's
going
to.
We
don't
have
a
cooking
hood.
K
What
I'm
trying
to
say
is
we
don't
have
a
hood
in
there
or
anything
like
that
for
folks
to
be
doing
cooking
and
everything,
it's
got
a
little
bit
of
storage
with
it.
We
thought
there
was
a
need
to,
and
there
is
a
need
to
put
maybe
a
couple
restrooms
down
at
that
end
of
the
pool
so
that,
if
you're
down
at
the
lap
pool
you're
not
having
to
go
all
the
way
up
to
the
pool
building,
you
can
come
to
this
building
and
have
access
to
a
couple.
Restaurants.
K
The
guards
will
have
a
room
in
here,
also
that
they
will
go
to
for
their
breaks
and
sort
of
is
their
base
camp
and
then
everything
in
purple.
With
the
exception
of
this.
Well,
this
one
room
here,
it's
got
labeled
historic.
That
room
is
primarily
pull
storage
and
that's
you
know
primarily
for
the
the
ropes
and
stuff
coming
off
the
lap
lanes
and
whatever
other
things
come
off.
The
water
need
to
be
stored
within
a
a
locked
area.
K
You
know
basically
we're
going
to
do
some
add
alternates
to
the
project.
So
you
may
choose
and
I
know
this
could
be
kind
of
painful,
but
the
splash
pad,
for
example.
That
is
something
that
could
be
built
two
years
down
the
road
that
allows
you
to
do
the
salt,
water,
chlorination
generation
system
right
now,
so
we'll
we'll
build.
You
know
them
into
the
bid
as
add
alternates
that
so
when
it
goes
to
bid,
it
will
come
in
under
bid,
and
we
can
add
these
things
into
it.
K
If
the
money
allocated
will
out
to
do
it
and
that
protects
everybody,
we
would
do
that
anyway.
So
and
then
this
is
the
building.
We
went
through
some
variations
in
style
with
the
building
with
administration
and
with
the
recreation
folks
and
presented
a
number
of
options,
and
this
is
what
we
land
it
on.
The
the
main
feature
of
this
is
two
very
simple
buildings
with
two
sloping:
roofs
sloping
a
couple,
different
directions.
K
With
this
feature,
going
down
the
middle
and
providing
a
you
know,
a
covered
entry
that
secondary
function
is
a
shelter
during
storms,
and
things
like
that
not
I
mean,
if
there's
a
major
event
coming
through,
they
got
to
get
out
of
there.
They
got
to
get
into
buildings.
This
is
if
it
starts
raining
and
it
looks
like
it's
blowing
over.
K
This
is
a
place
to
go,
stand
for
15
minutes
or
so,
while
the
storm
goes
through
and
they
open
bet,
they
open
the
pool
back
up
this
structure
and
I'm
going
to
show
you
small
renderings,
but
it's
sort
of
twist
through
and
the
whole
idea
with
that
is
that
it's
taking
on
the
language
of
the
river,
so
that
gets
back
to
the
essence.
You
know
it's,
it's.
The
whole
design
is
as
we
go
through.
K
K
We
talked
about
so,
as
you
can
see,
we're
taking
advantage
of
the
the
high
ceiling
space
bringing
a
lot
of
natural
light
into
it,
and
you
can
start
to
see
that
metal
canopies
twisting
twisting
out
of
there
and
then
this
is
as
if
you're
standing
underneath
of
that
canopy
and
then
some
of
the
materials
you're
seeing
is
we've
always
felt
like
you
know,
brick
is
going
to
it
needs
to
be
a
brick
building.
I
mean
Athens
is
about
its
brick,
but
we
don't
feel
like
it
needs
to
be
a
red
brick.
K
Necessarily,
you
can
kind
of
see
some
of
the
variations
in
the
brick
that
we're
looking
down
at
below
here
and
then
going
up
a
certain
height
with
it,
and
then
the
area
between
the
roof
and
the
top
of
the
brick
being
a
wood
finish
like
a
vertical
wood,
siding
up
there
and
again,
you
know
we
got
you
know.
I
am
showing
some
of
this.
You
know
a
couple
different
variations
in
it.
K
We
we
tend
to
like
going
more
toward
a
you
know,
a
you
know,
great
town
or
even
getting
into
something
that's
more
of
a
blend
between
a
gray
and
a
red
versus
you
know,
going
all
the
way
red,
but
we
we're
trying
to
an
administration
hasn't
seen
this,
and
actually
you
guys
are
probably
the
first
so
we're
trying
to
get
some
input
on
some
of
that.
What
I'm
trying
to
see
say
and
get
a
feel
for
where
everybody
would
be
and
then
another
one
of
the
essence
pieces
is.
K
If
you
look
in
the
upper
right
hand,
corner
there's
some
metal
work
that
keeps
showing
up
in
a
lot
of
your
a
lot
of
the
essence
images
and
we
have
some
gates
that
we
needed
to
design
across
the
front
of
that
breezeway
to
secure
the
site.
So
we
want
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
money
there
and
do
some
very
decorative
ornate
gates
that
reflect
some
of
this,
and
so
you
can
kind
of
see
how
we
have.
K
We
did
that
we're
essentially
going
to
take
that
and
copy
it,
but
it
needs
to
be
a
little
more
full,
so
people
can't
reach
through
and
try
to
unlatch
on
the
other
side,
so
we'll
have
some
wire
mesh
behind
it
or
if
you
want
to
kind
of
think
of
it.
As
you
know,
a
nicer
chain
link
behind
it
with
this,
with
this
ornate
metal
in
front
of
it,
and
it's
we
feel
pretty
strongly
that's
going
to
look
very,
very
nice.
Oh
we're
very
happy
with
where
that's
landing
and.
K
Yeah
and
then
again,
this
is
to
say
this
is
a
straight
on
two-dimensional.
Elevation
of
the
whole
thing
this
is
this
is
what
it
will
look
like
from
the
front
parking
lot.
You
know.
Unfortunately,
it
is
the
back
side
of
the
restrooms,
so
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
put
glazing
down
low,
but
we
think
with
the
materials
and
the
sloping
of
the
rooms,
and
this
this
this
canopy
going
through
the
middle.
K
But
this
gets
back
to
this
particular
scheme
is
starts
to
try
to
demonstrate
what
the
you
know.
Maybe
the
more
brownish
reddish
brick
mix
here
with
a
wood
siding
above
would
look
like,
and
then
this
is
more
the
black.
You
know
sort
of
gray
tone
and
then,
and
then
this
gets
more
into
maybe
a
warmer
red
or
brick
and
then
just
some
other
L.
This
is
the
elevations
for
the
concessions
building.
This
we've
brought
this
canopy
down
to
the
concessions
building
to
provide
some
sort
of
trellis
coverage
at
the
concession
itself.
K
We
already
have
a
little
bit
of
a
cantilever
projection
out
there
anyway
to
cover
up
that
right
at
the
concession
itself,
and
what
this
is
is
we.
We
are
really
really
hoping
that
as
the
project
you
know,
gets
built
and
open,
and
we
leave
town
that
the
community
comes
and
takes
it
over.
We
think
an
awful
lot
of
you
know
again.
K
I
keep
talking
about
this
essence
thing
and
we
think
an
awful
lot
of
it
and
we
think
the
more
that
that
is
realized
and
you
go
to
your
arts
community
I
think
we
we've
heard
it
there's
they.
They
have
some
level
of
funding
and
everything
there's
lots
of
opportunity
for
them
to
come
in
and
start
looking
at
other
areas
to
do
things
in
here,
whether
it's
hanging
things
and
and
that's
what
this
starts
a
show.
You
know
we've.
K
You
know
like
for
one,
for
example,
one
of
the
items
that
we
identified
is
we
have
the
lockers
we're
going
to
put
lockers
in
somebody
can
come
in
and
do
an
artistic
application
of
those
lockers,
and
that
would
be
a
really
cool
thing
in
that
little
pocket.
So
we're
just
going
to
this
is
something
we're
going
to
give
the
administration
as
it
moves
forward,
and
you
know
it
can
be
implemented
through
the
community
at
night.
K
You
know
again,
I
would
look
at
it
as
a
palette
to
really
one
of
the
things
we
always
said
about
this
is
this
is
like
an
oasis
over
here
of
downtown
Athens.
So
the
more
of
what
you
view
downtown
Athens
is
and
Athens
is
the
more
we
can
sort
of
maybe
push
that
over
there
and
give
this
a
little
bit
of
a
an
Athens
fish
feel
I,
think
the
more
successful
or
a
date
so
and
that's
it.
C
Like
to
commend
you
on
taking
something
that
was
a
fairly
difficult,
long
process
and
putting
pictures,
it
always
helps
people
to
have
pictures
to
points
that
I
would
like
to
point
out,
for
the
citizens
is
that
season
extension
for
the
community
room
is
a
really
smart
idea.
I
think
that
the
splash
pad
and
the
garage
doors
is
a
really
great
idea
and
I
like
this
season,
that
you
can
do
it
and
who
knows,
we
may
be
getting
four
seasons.
It
gets
really.
C
Climate
change
and
also
I
think
that
for
I'm
happy
that
people
are
going
with
the
salt,
water,
chlorination
I
think
that
I've
heard
pretty
regularly
from
people
in
the
community
that
that's
about
to
Athens.
Also,
it's
not
just
physical
and
and
visual,
but
that's
also
going
and
doing
a
progressive
design
and
engineering
so
that
we
can
reduce
the
amount
of
toxic
chemicals
and
I'd
like
to
see
that
as
not
an
alternate
add-on,
I
would
see
the
people
would
be
much
more
inclined
to
say.
C
K
If
I
can
build
in
add
alternates
that
allows
a
piece
of
it
to
come
in
under
budget,
and
then
we
can
pull
those
things
in
to
get
us
the
budget
that
just
makes
it
a
much
simpler
process
for
everybody,
and
that's
really
the
intend
you
don't
want
to
have
too
many
of
these
either.
So
we
got
it.
We
really
got
a
target.
Those
I
agree
with
you,
I
think
the
splash
pad
is
it's
a
basic
requirement.
K
It's
been
on
the
table
for
a
while,
but
whether
or
not
we
do
the
the
the
essence
stuff
to
it.
That's
really
what
I
was
talking
about
that.
That
would
be
the
alternate
piece
of
it.
So
just
that
you
understand
that
now,
I
don't
know.
If
we
can
get
it
back
up
on
the
screen,
the
materials
I
did
pass
over,
but
that
the
materials
on
that
middle
canopy,
peg
piece
they're
like
these.
These
these
are
ribbons
or
they're
they're
panels.
K
And
so,
when
you
look
up
you're
going
to
see
the
bottom
of
corrugated
metal
is
what
you're
going
to
see
and
then
they'll
have
a
ceiling.
That's
here
or
a
roof
material
I
should
say
on
top
of
them,
the
all
the
ribs
are
going
to
be
a
metal
roof,
and
so
we're
looking
at
like
a
like
a
galvanized
metal.
So
it's
you
know
kind
of
a
progressive
finished
contemporary
city,
so
you
can
kind
of
start
to
see.
You
know
how
that
sort
of
fits
in
to
everything
else.
So
it's
not
a
black
roof.
K
B
L
L
That's
that
really
wants
to
put
it
in
put
in,
and
you
said
no,
so
this
is
you
know
you
can
correct
me,
but
this
this
process
kind
of
the
same
way
in
other
communities
too,
when
you,
when
you
start
to
open
up
the
idea
of
changing
a
piece
of
infrastructure.
This
big
two
other
points
one
was
I,
was
thinking
about
the
user
group,
which
is
children,
and
you
know
they
like
to
dive.
They
like
to
swim
around
a
lot
of
them,
don't
show
up
with
goggles.
K
Easier
on
your
eyes:
okay,
yeah,
if
you
there
is
an
the
easiest
way
to
explain.
That
is
that
there
is
a
concept
out
there
now
called
fair,
queen,
fair
bear
paddle
and
it's
swim.
Lessons
and
they're
going
in
and
building
swimming
pools
within
shopping,
centers
and
those
are
all
saltwater
pools,
and
it's
for
that.
It's
focused
on
kids
little
kids.
It's
for
that
specific
reason!
That's
why
they
chose
to
go
with
that.
That's.
L
K
The
heritage
trees
are
all
implied.
Okay,
those
those
are
not
going
away.
Yeah
I
think
the
last
time
I
was
here.
I
said
you
know:
I
have
a
landscape,
architect
would
kill
us
if
we
had
to
take
those
away.
So
those
are
I
think
from
a
community's
perspective,
there's
thirst
and
we've
we've
adjusted
that
if
you
look
at
the
site
plan,
though
like
out
in
the
parking
lot,
this
is
where
we're
going
to
have
to
sort
of
look
at
sort
of
cost.
K
E
K
The
last
time
we
talked,
we
talked
about
deep
and
coming
up
and
going
deep
on
the
other
end,
if
you
remember,
and
that's
basically
what
we're
moving
forward
with
I
think
it's
don't
holding
this
but
I
think
it's
four
foot
six
then
comes
up
to
three
foot,
six
and
then
back
down
to
four
foot.
Six,
but
I
can
get
that
information
back
to
them.
So
you
can.
K
We
got
a
cross-section
through
it,
and
we've
been
off
that
decision
for
several
months
now,
so
we
just
took
what
we
what
came
out
in
the
last
meeting,
but
it
definitely
you
know
when
you
dive
in
so
it
comes
down.
Slopes
down,
goes
up
to
a
plateau
and
then
slopes
down.
So
you
can
die
from
both
ends
and
that
was
based
on
input
from
the
last
meeting.
If
I
remember
correctly,.
B
F
Something
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
again
to
counsel
I'm
sure
you've
seen
this,
but
it's
worth
bringing
up
again
since
the
comment
about
trees
in
the
parking
lot
area
came
up.
The
other
thing,
that's
a
feature
that
was
built
into
the
parking
area
up
front,
was
having
access
off
of
East
Park
Drive,
but
as
well
a
community
center
Drive
but
they're
offset
from
each
other,
so
that
someone
can't
just
use
this
as
a
cut
through
to
where
they're
trying
to
go
from
one
side
to
the
other.
B
I
K
At
the
ends,
when
you
dive
in
that,
if
I
remember
correctly,
the
conversation
was
about
you
know:
how
can
we
make
the
lap
pool
more
usable,
and
so
we
had
a
discussion
about
what
you
need
to
make
it
at
a
certain
depth
where
they
dive
in,
but
when
they
get
to
the
middle,
we
can
bring
that
up
and
go
across,
and
then
there
was
discussion
about
diving
being
able
to
dive
from
both
ends.
If.
I
If
I
could
perhaps
challenge
that
assertion,
because
that's
not
my
memory,
my
memory
is
that
there
was
concern
that
there
would
not
be
enough
lanes,
and
we
were
told
that
or
I
should
say
that
too
much
of
the
pool
would
be
utilized
by
the
the
lap
swimmers
and
we
were
told
that
it
would
be
able
to
be
moved
some
of
the
lap
lanes
so
that
it
would
open
up
more
of
the
pool
for
others,
or
vice
versa.
That
was
part
of
the
conversation
too.
I
K
I
K
K
You
know
maybe
during
high
use
times,
there's
no
four
six
lanes
available
that
he
has
ripped
off
and
during
low
use
times
he
pulls
all
the
reps
aside
and
there's
you
know,
however,
that's
managed
operationally
I
think
eight
lanes
is,
is
going
to
give
you
what
you
need
good.
That's
that's
a
lot
of
lights.
I
K
K
F
K
L
L
K
K
B
A
F
Hopefully,
I
didn't
give
away
my
only
copy
just
ago,
I
apologize
Council
for
not
getting
this
out
to
you
earlier.
What
I?
What
is
working
way
down
tonight
is
a
just
a
basic
draft
that
was
brought
forward
to
the
Transportation
Improvement
District
meeting,
which
is
under
our
we're
one
of
18
t
II's
or
education
improvement
districts
in
the
state.
These
fall
under
Ohio,
Department
transportation,
and
these
are
basically
four
it's
an
economic
development
mechanism
under
ODOT,
and
this
is
for
fiscal
year
18
coming
forward.
F
The
local
Transportation
Improvement
District
consists
of
city
of
Nelsonville
representation,
Athens
Township
representation,
county
representation
and
the
city
of
Athens
representation,
as
well
as
it's
chaired
by
the
county
engineer,
Geoff
Maiden.
There
were
two
proposals
that
came
forward
at
the
last
meeting,
which
I'm
blanking
on
the
date
of
that
last
meeting.
I
think
it
was
in.
F
Cape
on
which
is
central,
Athens
fiber-optic
network,
if
you
flip
to
the
next
page
just
was
actually
showed
up
on
the
street
tour.
Last
Friday
you
got
to
see
the
map,
and
now
you
have
the
narrative
behind
this.
But
again
this
is
a
draft
that
came
forward
to
the
tid.
This
is
not
the
whole
grant
package
that
it
is
due
at
the
end
of
the
month
to
go
before.
F
Okay,
ta
da
meeting
was
the
15th
I
know
the
viewers.
Don't
have
this
map
in
front
of
them,
but
basically
I'll
kind
of
boil
this
down
to
the
essence
of
what
this
grant
is
asking
for:
it's
basically
to
pull
fiber
optics.
That
would
be
city-owned
fiber
optics
through
our
existing
conduits
in
the
Uptown
area.
It
would
go
from
the
armory
down
court,
Street
all
the
way
down
court
Street
to
President
Street.
Now,
there's
a
partnership
component
to
this
as
well
on
your
maps
that
you
have
it
for
you.
F
What
we
have
reached
out
to
Ohio
University
to
partner
on
is
to
be
able
to
use
their
utility
tunnel
that
runs
under
President
Street
and
underneath
Richland
Avenue
to
Knoxville
bridge.
They
have
agreed
to
allow
us
access
to
that
tunnel
to
continue
the
fiber
and
then
the
fiber
would
go
back
into
our
conduit
all
the
way
down
to
Shaffer
Shaffer
and
Richland
Avenue.
At
that
point
again,
another
component
of
this
grant
is
to
have
conduit
laid
under
ground
and
then
slung
under
the
Oxbow
or
the
sorry.
F
We're
also
running
conduit
with
the
West
Union
Street
improvement
down
to
Congress,
and
so
that
would
have
fiber
pulled
through
it
as
well
again.
This
is
a
clip
successful,
so
I
need
to
keep
throwing
that
out.
There
caveat
wise
if
we're
successful
in
getting
this
is
that
we
could
run
conduit
through
that
portion
of
West
Union
and,
as
you
can
see,
there's
some
some
dots
along
West
Union.
Those
are
sorry
long
court
Street,
those
are
essentially
nodes,
connection
nodes
to
where
we
can
hook
up
to
or
traffic
lights.
F
We
could
also
possibly
and
again
I
say
I
have
to
scout
this
with
possibly
have
city
Wi-Fi
at
some
of
these
locations.
As
we
lay
this
fiber
into
the
ground,
we
could
mount
Wi-Fi
stations
along
the
way.
The
project
is
the
city
engineers
has
SPECT
at
this
point
in
time.
We're
looking
at
about
a
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
project,
the
Transportation
Improvement
District,
will
pay
25
percent
up
to
25
percent
of
the
project
or
total
dollars.
F
F
The
big
thing
too,
for
transportation
is
that
this
allows
us
connectivity
for
the
city
buildings,
but
equally
important
connectivity
for
our
traffic
lights
up
and
down
this
corridor,
we're
finally
getting
fiber
optics,
making
that
much
more
efficient,
as
well
as
cameras
using
what
the
fiber
that
we
have
to
put.
You
know
the
cameras
that
we
do
have
up
and
down
this
corridor,
getting
them
off
wire
and
getting
them
onto
fiber.
G
A
F
A
A
Then
one
other
question
about
what
they're
calling
phase
1a
my
understanding
on
this
Paige
that
tentative
schedule
it
where
it
says,
there's
one
part
of
it
that
refers
to
kind
of
planning,
but
it's
actually
designed
construction
hardware,
installation
all
rolled
into
phase
one.
Is
that
correct?
That's.
A
F
C
Well,
thank
you
I'd
like
to
put
forward
that
this
also
will
establish
our
presence
as
a
city
that
does
infrastructure
development
like
this.
There
has
been
discussion
a
couple
times
in
the
State
House
of,
as
in
other
states,
basically
making
it
taking
away
home
rule
of
being
able
to
make
this
sort
of
infrastructure
improvement.
So
I
think
I
think
that
it's
important
to
get
the
fact
that
we
already
have
conduit
down
is
important
to
mention
and
that
this
is
for
me.
C
It's
like,
however,
many
years
ago
and
people
are
like
well,
maybe
we
should,
you
know,
build
roads.
Well,
you
know
everybody's,
not
using
horses.
We
need
roads
and
everybody's
like
well,
that's
so
expensive,
but
it's
a
backbone
of
our
infrastructure
and
where,
when
I've
been
out
in
in
areas,
people
complain
about
the
fact
that
we
don't
have
broadband
throughout
the
area
and
the
rates
and
speeds
are
sad
sometimes,
and
we
can't
see
ourselves
as
being
an
economic
powerhouse
in
the
Southeast
region.
B
You
I
agree
with
councilmember
fall
and
appreciate
the
forward-thinking
ideology
here
of
our
public
works
director
and
the
executive
branch
administration,
supporting
this
forward-thinking
process,
I
think
again,
just
basically
considering
the
the
technological
advances
that
will
enhance
safety
of
the
foremost
as
well
as
Commerce
and
development.
I.
Just
think
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
begin
to
lay
the
groundwork
now
to
continue
to
plan
for
the
future.
To
me,
it's
a
small
investment
with
a
good
positive,
big
outcome.
Thank
you.
I.
F
Well,
at
this
point
with
this
project,
and
this
grant
they
don't
right.
No,
but
but
well.
Let
me
get
council
an
example
if
this
is
helpful
when
I'm
thinking
economic
development
and
we're
looking
at
this
particular
project.
If
this
comes
to
fruition,
which
I'm
hopeful
and
that
is
that
a
strategy
that's
been
used
in
other
cities,
that
that
have
city
owned
and
controlled
fiber
is
to
use
that
as
an
incentive
for
business
X
that
believes
they're
going
to
bring
safe,
ten
twenty
jobs
to
the
city
of
Athens.
F
One
of
the
things
you
can
do
any
city
could
do
this.
Is
you
can
leverage
the
fiber
that
you
own
by
giving
them
a
pair
of
fiber,
maybe
two
pair
of
fiber?
But
you
can
you
can
strike
an
agreement
to
where
you
have
to
demonstrate
X
amount
of
growth
of
employees
over
time,
and
you
use
that
fiber
at
the
Dublin
Dublin
Ohio
model
that
I'm
mentioning
and
so
there's
a
lot
that
can
be
done
and
I'm
personally,
not
taking
Athens
County,
EDC
I'm,
just
thinking,
city,
economic.
C
Debate
they
have
looked
at
broadband,
and
so
bringing
them
in
may
help
leverage
other
resources
for
money,
I
mean
I
would
think
that
they
would
have
come
out
with
this
sort
of
model
a
while
ago
and
I
just
would
like
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
stepping
on
toes
and
seeing
whether
there
is
something
that
they
have,
that
they
can
bring
to
the
table.
Does
that
make
sense?
It.
F
Does
but
I
pretty
much
guarantee
you
there's
no
Stoke
toes
being
stepped
on
with
this
process.
There's
there's
a
lot
of
bigger
ideas
that
are
floating
out
there
with
broadband
that
there's
conversations
that
the
EDC
is
involved
in
that
I'm
involved
in
the
use
involved
in
and
oh
use
is,
is,
as
all
of
us,
keenly
interested
in
what
we
can
do
in
the
future.
But
this
is
a
city
project
as
we're
looking
at
us.
Something
else
just
to
share
real
quickly
about
that,
since
we're
talking
about
you
know,
shows
an
economic
development
component
to
this.
F
But
you
know
we
have
several
city
schools
and
how
interesting
would
it
be
to
have
you
know,
high-speed
Internet
that
we're
able
to
work
with
the
Athens
County
or
Athens
City
School
Board,
to
be
able
to
partner
and
have
fibre
to
our
schools?
Again,
that's
just
an
idea,
but
it's
conversations
that
I
think
could
be
had
and
should
be
at
if
we're
successful
in
doing.
Thank
you
thunder.
D
It
just
dawned
on
me
if
we
put
in
our
own
Farber
and
I'm
all
for
it
I
think
it's
a
phenomenal
idea.
In
fact,
I'd
like
to
see
it,
go
all
the
way
down
Richland,
instead
of
just
stop
it
fire
station
I
like
see
it
all
the
way,
but
up
to
your
house,
you
know
exactly,
but
our
connection
then
to
the
internet
would
be
to
Ornette.
F
F
D
I
You
for
memory,
cochran
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
concern,
as
always,
was
the
cost
of
sense
and
I.
Look
at
the
map
and
I'm
a
little
concerned
with
whether
the
thought
of
the
economic
development,
at
least
in
this
area
as
proposed,
is
kind
of
a
pipe
dream,
as
opposed
to
if
it
were
shifted
out
more
on
State
Street,
East,
8th
Street,
something
like
West,
8th,
Street
or
something
so
places
where
we
would
have
them
more
open
space
for
real
economic
development.
I
I
see
that
as
a
limitation
for
for
the
proposed
girls.
F
I
can
certainly
do
that.
I
can
also
share
this
with
you,
which
a
Hydra,
partment
transportation,
Fred
Vogel
was
the
one
who
created
this
for
us,
and
this
is
basically
a
one-mile
radius
I
believe
that's
correct,
half
a
mile
radius
1
mile
radius
of
businesses
within
the
Uptown
area,
and
if
you
look
at
this
rather
dark
line
of
spots,
that's
along
there.
Those
are
all
businesses
up
and
down
the
rich
Linette
up
and
down
the
court
Street
corridor,
but
not
saying
that
all
of
course
streets
necessarily
Building
wise,
is
built
out.
F
I
think
there's
some
opportunity
that
you
can
see
in
some
of
the
existing
buildings
to
where
they
can.
It
gives
a
building
a
property
owner
the
ability
to
start
to
think
maybe
differently
that
if
I
can
pipe
high-speed
into
this
building
to
that,
maybe
I
can
do
something
different
with
the
second
through
fifth
floor
or
fourth
floor
or
whatever.
F
But
you
raise
a
good
question
and
a
valid
one
in
terms
of
if
you're
thinking
actual
physical
growth,
where
people
can
grow
yeah
sure,
but
I
would
also
contend
that
there's
still
growth
right
here
on
Court
Street
and
Richland,
Avenue
and
others,
as
opposed
to
just
open
space
I
think
there's
existing
structures
that
we
could
see
some
internal
development.
Let
me
just
say
real
quick
businesses
within
the
businesses
within
these.
The
radius
that
I
just
mentioned
to
you,
3684
businesses
and
employees
within
that
same
zone
is
twenty-seven
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy-six
now
granted.
F
F
But
we
can
certainly
you
know
as
we
look
at
this
member
Magee
is
I
just
mentioned
early
on,
be
using
the
West
Union
improvement
area.
You
know
to
the
end,
well,
what's
to
say
once
we
if
we're
successful,
and
we
get
this
and
it's
we
were
working
at
the
part
of
Phase.
Two
is
Impa
list.
You
know,
would
it
be
great
if
we
punched
a
conduit
and
fiber
all
the
way
down,
West
Union
to
682
in
terms
of
development
and
sure
go
the
other
way
as
well?
F
You
know
I
mentioned
a
minute
ago,
backbone,
possibly
having
a
backbone
or
at
least
laterals
a
spine
that
runs
the
full
length
of
the
bike
path
to
hold
sir
clinic
on
one
end
and
to
I.
Don't
know
what
Eclipse
or
I
guess
that
sounds
a
Salus,
but
as
far
as
you
can,
within
the
city
or
partner
throughout
the
county,
get
everyone
else
on
board
to
and
say,
let's
get
that
last
mile,
if
we
can
but
again
we're
talking
big
we're
talking
expensive
too,
when
you
start
going
yeah.
I
E
Any
other
questions
I
think
one
thing
that
would
be
helpful
is
to
see
a
more
clear
picture
of
where
the
funding
would
actually
be
coming
from,
whether
it's
you
know
the
mix
of
what's
capital
improvement.
What's
what
streets
what's
coming
from,
which
fund
and
we'll
work
with
the
clerk
on
this
for
next
week,
then
first
jury
fit.
D
You,
madam
president,
I
got
three
bullet
points
here:
transient
guests,
tax,
staffing
and
appropriations
and
I'm
bringing
up
the
topic
of
transient
gas
tax.
I
know
that
that
ordinance
is
not
doable
while
we
do
it
every
year
or
so,
but
I
like
to
get
the
ball
rolling
to
see
where
we're
at
what
it
will
be,
how
much
for
bringing
in
and
hear
from
the
administration,
then
from
auditor
and
the
travel
tourist
bureau
and
all
other
stakeholders
Council
included.
So
who
wants
to
get
the
ball
rolling
administration?
Oh.
F
Hotel
lodging
2016
2017
in
the
total
for
2015
is
four
hundred
and
six
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty
nine
dollars.
The
five
percent
county
fee
is
twenty
thousand
dollars
20400
and
fifty
three
and
71
cents
leaving
a
balance
of
three
hundred
and
eighty
six
thousand
$66
19
cents
from
there
I
mean
I
can
go
through
all
these.
G
G
D
C
Don't
fault
the
contract
was
for
three
years
and
I
think
that
may
be
something
that
we
want
to
discuss
with
the
transient
guests
talks.
There
is
there's
other
people
who
are
out
that
pot
of
money
right.
Then
it
also
pays
for
the
economic
development
council
for
part
of
it
they
get
a
set
amount.
You
know
no
matter
how
well
or
how
bad
the
transit
yes
tax
makes
for
that
year.
They
get
a
set
amount
and
we
may
want
to
look
at
whether
that
would
be
a
similar
model
to
go
with
the
Visitors
Bureau.
G
D
G
A
G
G
H
The
seventy
very
much
always
get
out
thirty
five
percent-
it's
thirty
five
percent
to
the
EDC
until
it
reaches
its
max,
but
the
fact
is,
as
the
service
Safety
Director
alluded
to
we're
required
by
state
law
to
give
them
fifty
percent.
The
other
50%
is
supposed
to
go
into
our
general
fund.
The
EDC
is
not
part
of
the
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau.
That's
our
choice
to
give
them
that
money.
H
The
other
part
of
the
fifty
percent
is
we
provide
the
office
space
on
the
State
Street
for
the
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau.
So
the
reason,
the
money
that
we
put
into
the
tourism
fine
really
has
nothing
to
do
with
it.
Doesn't
it
doesn't
the
split
that
we're
required
to
get?
We
have
a
tourism
fund
and
we
pay
the
EDC
out
of
that
fund.
Also,
that's
why
it's
seventy
percent
going
in
there!
H
It's
it's,
not
all
going
to
the
visitors
bureau
or
all
to
the
EDC
that
we
pay
both
of
those
obligations
out
of
that
fund,
and
that
comes
to
about
seventy
percent
of
what
we
take
in
and,
as
I
said,
VRC
not
only
refers
to
how
much
we
did.
The
visitors
go,
but
also
we
are
supposed
to
put
the
balance
in
our
general
fund,
so
we
might
want
to
make
some
changes.
There
pay
the
EDC
out
of
our
general
funds.
H
No,
this
is
a
contract
that
we've
had
same
kind
of
splits
for
quite
a
while
used
to
be
50,000
for
the
EBC
I
think
when
I
was
on
council,
but
or
at
least
early
in
my
auditor
days,
and
so
that's
how
that
is
the
to
split
that
we
put
in
that
fund
is
just
to
meet
our
obligations.
It
really
has
nothing
to
do
with
what
we
have
to
what
the
o
RC
says.
C
Because
those
transient
guests,
tax
money
is
directly
related
to
the
economic
development
that
the
Visitors
Bureau
goes
out
and
does
with
the
hotel
ears
and
everybody
else
who
does
one
of
our
biggest
industries
in
the
city,
which
is
tourism
and
I,
think
that
it
that's
an
essential
thing
to
identify
as
one
of
our
biggest
economic
drivers
in
the
city.
So
I
just
want
to
say
that
that
everybody
is
getting
a
bit
more
money,
because
the
work
that
they've
been
doing
I
just
want
to
say.
Thank
you.
Mm-Hmm.
G
G
I
just
again,
I
think
part
of
the
reason
this
is
coming
forward
is
because
the
fact
that
our
general
fund
is
so
tight
and
it'd
be
interesting,
that
parsed
through
the
numbers
and
determine
exactly
what
I
understand
what
you
know
the
author's
saying
that
ordinance
authorized.
Seventy
percent
into
the
tourism
fund,
but
other
things
are
being
spent
out
of
that
that
we
may
want
to
look
at
that,
and
this
agreement
is
through
the
end
of
December
by
ordinance
right
now.
This
year,.
J
J
This
is
just
about
the
most
confusing
thing
that
we
deal
with
so
just
to
kind
of
recap:
how
were
funded?
We've
received
ninety
five
percent
of
the
county
lodging
tax.
They
have
a
three
percent
tax.
We
received
thirty
five
percent
of
the
city
tax,
that's
also
a
three
percent
tax.
So
when
someone
stays
in
hotel,
they
pay
the
sales
tax,
but
they
also
pay
this
additional
within
the
city
limits
of
Athens,
an
additional
six
percent
in
tax
just
to
clarify
our
building,
we
do
rent
our
building
from
the
city.
J
J
So
there
is
an
additional,
probably
ten
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars
in
cost
wrapped
up
and
what
we
do
to
maintain
the
building
and
keep
it
lights
on
in
there
as
well.
So
not
all
of
the
cost
of
that
building
is
absorbed
by
the
city,
just
the
general
maintenance
on
the
bigger
projects
that
happen
there
and
just
to
clarify
over
the
course
of
the
last
five
years.
We've
patched
the
roof
twice
and
we've
had
an
antique
beam
installed
downstairs
to
support
the
entire
infrastructure
of
the
house
because
it
was
built
in
1846.
J
So
occasionally
there
are
some
things
that
do
have
to
take
place
there.
So
are
there
any
questions
about
that
I
think
in
2016,
I
think
our
general
take
on
that.
35%
was
about
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars.
We
like
the
percentage
because
we're
competitive,
and
we
know
that
when
that
percentage
exists,
rather
than
a
flat
rate
that
there's
a
little
bit
of
risk
involved
for
us.
But
when
we
grow
we
make
more
money
and
we
have
more
money
to
invest.
J
So
that
percentage
is
hugely
important
to
us
and
if
there
was
an
opportunity
for
us
to
get
50%
I
would
certainly
take
it
and
there's
certainly
always
more
things
that
we
can
do,
but
what
we
have
really
enjoyed,
and
you,
if
you'd
like
for
me
to
send
you
a
chart
of
what
our
funding
has
looked
like
over
the
course
of
the
last
ten
years.
I
can
pour
that
to
you
so
that
you
can
see
the
growth
that
we
have
enjoyed
and
it's
a
result
of
the
investment
that
our
businesses
have
made.
J
It
was
nice
at
the
hotel's
luncheon.
Last
week
we
heard
from
two
of
our
properties,
one
who
was
named
one
of
the
top
twelve
properties
of
their
kind
in
the
US,
the
Fairfield
Inn,
and
also
the
Ohio
University,
and
received
their
customer
service
award
of
all
of
the
property.
Since
there
are
some
very
high-end
properties
that
their
management
company
finds.
So
not
only
are
we
generating
additional
income,
but
we're
providing
top-notch
service
too,
and
so
that
investment
is
hugely
important
to
the
job
that
we
do
in
promoting
the
city
and
the
county.
A
Just
I
would
agree
that
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
see
a
history
and
Thank
You
page
for
the
background
information,
but
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
see
the
industry
like
I
have
different
papers
of
what
our
transient
guests.
Tax
income
has
been
over
the
years.
So
we've
been,
you
know
back
in
a
let
2011.
A
We
were
at
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
now
we're
at
four
hundred
and
eight
thousand
and
that
percentage
and
what
then
has
been
given
historically
to
the
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau,
and
then
the
economic
development
council.
I
know.
We've
got
that
cap
that
flat
cap
on
the
economic
development
council,
but
just
it
take
a
look
at
the
two
of
them
side-by-side
because
that's
that's
our
dilemma.
H
To
put
it
in
perspective
after
two
quarters:
last
year
the
EDC
had
their
sixty
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
and
it
has
increased
and,
as
Paige
said,
amazingly,
we
fill
up
these
hotels.
We
get
new
ones,
we
fill
them
up
and
not
just
for
oh
you
events,
and
so
it's
a
big
boom.
This
member
fall
sad
tab
that
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau
managing
what
goes
on
and
keeping
the
hotels
for
all
nuts,
where
we
all
love
it.
Money.
J
G
F
E
D
G
Riser
you're
not
losing
coverage,
it's
actually
affording
it
at
the
entry
level,
which
is
where
we
need
it.
We
were
still
catching
up
from
previous
retirements
and
promotions
that
have
resulted
in
trying
to
hire
new
patrol
officers.
So
anyone
out
there
that
wants
to
be
a
patrol
officer
for
the
city
of
Athens.
There
will
be
announcement
coming
soon
about
the
next
hiring
process
have
to
cast
a
wide
net.
G
D
L
D
F
Okay,
that's
also
coming
from
the
police
department
I'm
going
to
move
thirty
thousand
dollars
from
their
TC
100
into
TC
200
300,
and
this
is
for
not
anticipated
cost
it's
training
polygraphs.
They
had
to
do
several
polygraphs
recent
and
then
to
fund
the
cpt
training.
That
is
the
lyrically
of
looking
at
doing
the
bias
free
policy
training
which
would
implement
training
the
trainer
with
that,
so
that
we
would
be
able
to
continue
to
do
training
in-house
as
opposed
to
constantly
having
to
farm
out
and
go
get
the
training
elsewhere.
F
G
H
G
The
last
one
and
I
I
in
my
mind,
we're
gonna,
discuss
it
receiving,
was
generator
and
how
to
fund
that,
or
maybe
that's
still
in
the
process
of
exploration,
the
generator
for
this
city
hall
and
a
lot
of
industries.
When.
D
B
F
With
the
city
treasurer
or
again,
conversation,
the
city,
auditor
and
I
have
had
is
possibly
going
through
a
local
institution
for
a
low-interest
loan,
but
what's
needed
again
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I've
mentioned
this
before
a
couple
weeks
ago.
Not
last
week
is
the
fact
that
we've
got
a
serious
need
for
backup
generation
for
this
building,
as
well
as
all
of
the
law
building.
F
So
right,
look
good
a
quote,
as
I've
mentioned,
to
counsel
before
you
know,
for
a
diesel
generator
at
270
mm,
I,
believe
somewhere
in
that
neighborhood
272
for
a
single
generator
that
has
a
step-down
transformer
that
would
sit
there
and
do
both
the
law
building
as
well
as
the
city
billing.
The
other
option
is,
we
discussed,
was
going
the
three
hundred
ninety
two
thousand
dollar
route
to
have
two
separate
gas
generators
to
power,
both
the
buildings.
But,
as
we've
been
thinking
this
through,
you
know
it's
kind
of
a
criticality
of
the
buildings.
F
G
We
took
it
back
to
staff
again
about
the
diesel
versus
natural
gas,
but
frankly,
they
really
fell
in
line
with
determining
that.
The
diesel,
in
the
way
this
would
operate
would
be
clean,
efficient
and
and
the
rare
instant
you
know,
and
we
had.
We
have
the
workaround
for
any
time
in
terms
of
getting
diesel
if
a
region
is
out
of
power,
but
we
we've
just
felt
really.
They
really
landed
on
supporting
that
as
the
proposal.
I
Could
I
just
ask
at?
Has
there
been
any
exploration
of
alternate
energy
sources,
the
other
solar
or
wind
generators
for
this
kind
of
proposal?
If,
if
you're
talking
about
two
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
dollars,
you
said
would
seem
to
me
that
that
would
you
could
get
quite
a
bit
of
energy
from
solar?
Well,
I
would
just
have
set
you
consider
that
as
an
option.
F
Well,
I
mean
that's
a
good
question
for
a
building
that
the
roofline
tends
to
face.
You
know
run
north-south
as
opposed
to
something
like
our
twist,
which
is
its
roofline.
You
know
is
right
in
line
it's
east-west
and
so
you've
got
a
nice
flat
surface
to
amount.
A
number
of
solar
panels
see
it
I,
don't
know
where
we'd
mount
it
you
know,
I
expose.
L
Thank
you:
has
the
city
ever
explored
the
idea
of
just
buying
space
on
a
server
and
having
not
owning
any
servers
on
site?
You
know
my
understanding
is
something
like
that
is
actually
a
little
bit
more
cost-effective
than
maintaining
your
own
servers
and
then
that
eliminates
that
that
need
for
that
kind
of
backup
system.
G
You
heard
councilman
riser
actually
speak
to
that
earlier
tonight.
I
felt
that
for
at
least
in
the
last
four
or
five
years
that
council
really
wanted
to
own
their
own
infrastructure
when
it
comes
to
the
IT
technology,
Ohio
University
at
one
point
had
offered
to
host
as
a
backup
server
in
their
building
and
there's
I.
Just
never
really
got
traction
as
a
work.
More
of
a
level
of
reluctance
see
on
that.
So.
F
And
I
can't
speak
for
the
audit.
Maybe
maybe
the
auditor
wants
to
speak
to
confidentiality
and
security
of
servers
for
information
that
that
her
department
has,
as
well
as
the
police
department
and
being
able
to
again
make
sure
that
the
information
that's
being
processed
through
that
department
is
properly
managed
and
maintained.
But.
H
Just
quickly,
we
have
our
own
servers
for
our
financial
software
there's
a
lot
of
confidential
information
on
there,
and
we
also
have
to
be
able
to
connect
with
our
software
provider.
Whenever
there's
an
issue
they
can
remotely
go
in,
and
you
know,
manipulate
our
servers
and
our
computers
from
where
their
offices
are
and
there's
just
a
lot
of
other
things
involved.
With
doing
that,
we've
also
been
on
the
Status
had
their
own
IT
audits.
The
last
three
years,
I'm
sure,
memorized
or
realizes,
is
to
the
importance.
Well,
everybody
does
of
managing
your.
H
You
know
electronic
information
and
it's
just
a
really
big
deal,
and
we
are
looking
at
more
like
secondary
backup
with
our
servers
and
not
just
trying
to
move
it
somewhere
else,
but
having
our
own
backup
and
then
also
having
it
backed
up
somewhere
else,
which
we
are
doing,
but
it's
just
more
complicated
than
just
putting
everybody
some
you
know
down
the
street
or
in
the
cloud
as
we
know,
the
cloud
has
been
packed
before
it's
just
really,
there's
no
sure
bet.
As
far
as
security
and
as
a
government
agency
we're
responsible
for
any
confidential
information.
H
That's
leaked
out
there
all
of
our
tax
files,
thousands
of
accounts
every
bit
of
that
information
is
confidential.
So,
even
though
there's
a
lot
of
information
we
provide,
that
is
public.
We
have
people's
bank
accounts,
we
have
their
social
security
numbers.
We
have
a
lot
of
information
that
we
really
need
to
be
careful
about
and
so
yeah
we
might
end
up
on
a
city
server,
but,
like
I
said,
when
we
have
issues
and
for
to
do
our
own
backup
on-site,
we
also
have
a
backup
off-site
way.
H
We
have
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
our
software
company
then,
and
there
sometimes
you
know
if
there's
an
outage
on
the
weekend
or
if
it's
somewhere
else
and
happens,
it's
just
more
complicated
for
us
to
get
back
up
and
running
talk
to
our
two
IT
director
about
this
kind
of
stuff.
You
know
pretty
regularly
and
so
I
don't
know
where
we'll
end
up,
but
those
are
just
other
things
to
think
about.
