B
B
Regarding
ordinance,
101
and
sex
I
have
vetoed
ordinance,
101
o-6,
a
labor
agreement
with
asked
me
local
2403,
concerning
wages
and
working
conditions.
The
ordinance
was
amended
by
council
to
include
a
new
section
7,
an
article
for
recognition
of
union
I
consulted
with
the
city
law
director
to
determine
if
the
amendment
was
permissible
under
Ohio
Revised
Code,
their
research
found
that
of
our
c
section.
41
17.1
OB
provides
in
part
that
the
legislative
body
must
approve
or
reject
the
submission
as
a
whole.
B
This
section
of
the
o
RC
has
case
history
in
a
1991
decision
by
the
Court
of
Appeals
of
Ohio,
7th
Appellate,
District,
Belmont,
County
and
judge
O'neal's
decision.
It
is
clear
that
quote
the
public
employer
who
engages
in
negotiation
of
separate
and
apart
from
a
legislative
body
such
as
a
city,
council,
labor
negotiations
or
administrative
actions
separate
and
apart
from
legislative
actions,
Ohio
Revised,
Code,
730
1.05
provides
that
the
powers
of
the
legislative
authority
of
a
city
shall
be
legislative.
Only
I
shall
perform
no
administrative
duties.
B
Oh
five,
I
did
speak
with
a
member
of
the
property
owners
association
on
the
phone
at
length.
I
understand
he
may
be
here
tonight
and
I
did
tell
him
that
I
would
recognize
him
under
announcements,
not
announcements
and
other
business,
but
opportunity
for
citizens
to
speak
on
our
agenda
and
that
delay.
It's
my
understanding
that
a
count
a
committee
of
council
will
be
reading
this,
possibly
next
week,
so
I'm,
sorry,
okay
and
possibly
a
little
later
after
after
further
action.
So
it
is
an
ongoing
mission.
Are
there
other
communications?
D
C
Very
timely
manner:
I
wasn't
always
our
fault
that
we
were
delaying
the
first
show
as
an
office,
but
you
know
the
deadline
to
submit
and
suddenly
we
have
to
send
those
audits
out
to
a
lot
of
people
that
we
get
grants
all
our
grand
tours
and
federal
clearing
houses
and
things
like
that
by
September
30th,
so
great
one.
Well,
we.
B
B
Has
a
former
treasurer
for
the
city
and
a
veteran
of
a
few
of
those
audits?
I
would
also
like
to
mention
that
you
got
rid
of
several
things
that
had
been
ongoing
for
many
many
years
that
kept
showing
up
some
very
time-consuming
items
that
finally
got
taken
care
of
after
Oh
a
good
10
15
years
on
a
couple
of
them.
That
I
know
good
work
on
that
too.
I.
C
B
C
G
A
couple
of
items
from
a
litter
control
standpoint
I
think
you
here,
where
we've
advertised
that
position
we
had
25
or
30.
Applicants
will
be
went
through
testing
now
separated,
but
since
the
antenna
council's
clearly
was
to
enforce
that
I
overtime
to
code
up
to
phone
officers,
Saturday
and
Sunday
the
first
weekend,
they
were
out
last
weekend.
They
issued
36
warnings
in
21
tickets.
Now
this
past
weekend,
I.
F
G
One
officer
each
day
added
to
the
first
time
that
he
issued
13
warnings
and
five
tickets,
and
it's
appeared
that
when
people
saw
they
were
about
to
get
a
ticket
that
quickly
cleaned
it
up.
Although
a
lot
of
tickets
that
we
issued
were
second
offenses
from
the
previous
weekend,
so
we
were,
they
were
$40
tickets.
G
The
other
item
is
a
reminder
to
everybody
about
parking
over
24
hours
on
the
city
streets
through
the
summer
that
was
maybe
15
20
25
tickets
being
issued
last
week.
We
issued
many
seven
would
remind
that.
We
do
have
parking
available
at
the
fairgrounds
I.
Think
it's
$65
a
quarter.
It's
a
lot
cheaper
than
getting
ticketed
like
those
were
the
items
I
had
taste
counselor.
The
best
councilmembers
have
questions.
B
D
Six-Second,
this
ordinance
came
out
of
the
comprehensive
planning
process.
It's
one
of
the
recommendations
to
help
ensure
that
we
have
ongoing
performance
measurement
and
benchmarking.
It
creates
a
review,
Advisory
Commission
that
will
look
into
how
we're
going
to
be
able
to
measure
progress
a
lot
as
we
proceed
with
the
comprehensive
plan.
Further.
F
B
A
Just
as
you
stated,
mr.
president,
this
is
an
ordinance
accepting
a
sign
from
the
king
car
club,
which
I
believe
most
of
members.
Most
members
of
council
are
familiar
with.
They
wanted
to
submit
this
sign
to
council
as
a
gift.
It's
a
wooden
sign,
I
believe
I
submitted
photos
via
email
to
all
council
members.
A
H
B
I
President
I
move
that
we
adopt
ninety
seven,
oh
six.
This
is
an
ordinance
to
just
increase
the
expenditure
from
capital
improvement
for
arts
west.
This
expenditure
is
still
within
the
range
of
what
was
raised
in
terms
of
the
fundraisers,
and
the
purpose
of
the
money
at
this
point
is
that
they
are
currently
building
a
backstage
bathroom,
which
makes
the
facility
compliant
with
Actors
Equity,
so
that
equity
actors
can
perform
at
arts
with,
and
so
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
for
the
importance
of
that
change.
I
B
H
Move
adoption
of
over
ninety
eight-
oh
six,
okay,
this
is
an
Inc
dollar
increase
to
the
utility
billing
for
the
staffing,
rather,
the
I
guess
the
as
your
wages
for
the
litter
control
officer
that
we
provide
staffing
for
essentially
its
recommendation
coming
out
of
the
clean
committee
to
get
a
enforcement
component
within
four
litter
control
within
the
city
for
gluten
control.
Remember.
E
J
The
advantage
of
the
clean
committees
under
proposal
is
that
it
will
hit.
It
will
hit
everyone
equally,
and
that
means
that
the
large
entities
who
are
who
may
have
litters
amongst
them
will
also
be
charged,
as
will
the
others.
This
one
will
raise
enough
for
the
salary
for
benefits
and
for
transportation
and.
J
H
Basically,
going
to
be
one
dollar
on
all
the
utility
bills
when
I
say
y'all
util
do
is
this
would
be
correlating
with
what
you're,
seeing
for
I
believe
water
taps
and
recycling
bills.
Unlike
there's
a
there's,
actually
an
inconsistent
between
that
and
the
garbage
bill
says
some
billing
is
pool
together
in
terms
of
garbage.
So
therefore
who'll
be
a
little
bit
it'll
be
the
entire
everybody.
Who's
got
a
gets.
A
bill.
Utility
bill
vary.
A
I
B
L
H
This
is
essentially
adding
the
title,
little
control
officer
to
all
the
sections
that
the
widow
control
officer
will
be
enforcing.
This
includes
502,
o3d,
preparation,
storage
of
litter,
502
eleven
uncollected
rubbish
and
refuses
nuisance
and
I
believe
another
section
err
1307
actually
to
Morris
1307,
oh
six
littering
of
public
waves
and
the
net
last
section
would
be
a
citations
issuing
of
citation
twenty-nine
1202
again,
this
is
recommendations
from
the
clean
committee
on
in
terms
of
the
enforcement
aspect
of
it.
B
J
But
I
was
advised
by
various
entities
who
are
larger
national
organization.
That
would
be
good
for
us
to
repeal
it
and
start
over
and
I
have
to
say.
I
do
not
have
the
companion
piece
to
start
over,
but
I
definitely
think
we
will
repeal
a
100.
Oh
six
with
us
and
I
hope,
you'll
all
vote
for
it.
There.
I
B
L
B
I
L
Ordinance,
if
you
have
a
copy
in
front
of
you,
is
a
rather
large
looking
ordinance,
but
it
doesn't
do
a
whole
lot.
There's
a
there's,
almost
a
page
full
of
movement
of
some
funds
anywhere
from
$100
to
$15,000
within
various
funds
within
the
city,
for
their
share
of
the
city's
workers,
compensation
payment
for
the
second
half
of
the
year.
These
funds
have
these.
This
payment
has
already
been
made
so
need
to
reimburse
these
funds
for
the
or
move
this
money
around,
so
that
the
funds
will
have
it
to
go
to
replace
that
money.
L
Thirty,
three
thousand
dollars
from
the
issue
to
funds
from
maybe
three
years
ago
that
were
were
not
utilized
in
a
project
and
we're
moving
these
into
the
street
rehab
fund
about
thirty
thousand
dollars
from
the
general
under
the
auditor's
office
to
pay
for
some
training
costs
in
to
pay
for
some
temporary
employees,
which
they've
been
forced
to
hire
for
several
positions.
They
have
open
now
and
approximately
five
thousand
dollars
from
the
underage
drinkers
fund
to
help
pay
for
some
overtime
officers
for
the
Halloween
week.
For.
B
D
B
D
President,
this
ordinance
grants
some
variances.
This
is
done
at
the
end
of
Hudson
Avenue.
It's
currently,
there
are
two
primary
structures.
Are
two
houses
there
already
there
were
some
issues
with
location
of
the
lot
line
between
the
houses.
This
moves
the
lot
line
so
that
it
isn't
encroaching
on
on
either
of
the
houses
and
the
variances
are
for
the
the
the
Lots
are
both
narrower
than
our.
Our
code
currently
allows
and
have
a
smaller
lot
size
and
side
setbacks
where
the
new
lot
line
will
be
require
variances.
D
B
D
President
members
of
council,
this
was
brought
to
my
attention
after
our
committee
meeting.
We
do
have
a
recommendation
from
the
Planning
Commission
to
grant
these
variances.
This
is
in
the
plains,
and
the
drawing
is
attached.
The
property
owner
is
basically
wanted
to
provide
an
easement
to
the
rear
of
the
property
and,
at
the
recommendation
of
the
Planning
Commission
decided
to
actually
do
a
lot
split
so
that
there's
a
driveway
that
has
its
own
road
frontage
rather
than
having
an
easement
across
the
remainder
of
the
property.
D
And
the
lot
frontage
is
only
30
feet
where
90
feet
is
the
permitted
minimum.
That's
only
going
to
be
used
for
a
driveway
to
access
that
fatback
lot
and
the
residual
property
is
again
gonna
have
a
slightly
smaller,
overall
square
footage.
Eighteen
thousand
four
hundred
seventy
four
instead
of
twenty
thousand
and
the
lot
frontage
will
be
slightly
smaller
than
the
90
foot
permitted
minimum
other.
D
G
B
D
President,
we
considered
this
tax
abatement
program
fairly
recently
and
we
extended
the
abatement
period
for
another
five
years,
and
then
we
received
information
from
a
HUD
Department
of
Development
that
that
was
only
allowed
to
be
extended
twice.
So
we
need
to
repeal
this.
This
is
the
tax
abatement
that
is
in
the
Uptown
area,
where
property
owners
that
do
renovations
can
actually
receive
an
abatement
on
the
value
of
the
improvements
if
they
bring
it,
have
the.
D
H
G
D
B
B
L
D
A
B
D
This
ordinance
designates
the
University
of
States,
the
the
newly
annexed
area
as
being
part
of
the
first
Ward
when
we
discussed
it
in
committee
that
seemed
logical,
since
it's
pretty
much
continuous
with
the
existing
first
Ward.
So
Paul
is
gonna,
get
to
represent
the
a
couple
of
folks
who
live
there
and
then,
as
more
people
move
in
when
the
city
goes
through,
redistricting
it'll
be
based
on
population,
so
it
may
cause
a
shift
in
the
lines.
But
what
if
we
will
continue
to
have
four
Ward's?
Oh.
B
F
H
B
D
President,
this
ordinance
does
exactly
what
the
title
says
and
we
have
a
recommendation
from
the
Planning
Commission.
This
was
also
something
that
has
been
brought
up
in
the
comprehensive
planning
process
and
in
the
Mill
Street
area
planning
process
that
that
Amazone
in
the
middle
of
such
a
residential
areas
kind
of
out
of
place.
So
we
will
actually
be
rezoning
that
to
in
our
three
other.
B
E
B
B
K
J
H
B
H
L
F
H
Areas,
tourism
fund
from
22
to
12,
1,
2014
thousand.
This
is
for,
if
I
understand,
correctly
increase,
anticipating
an
increased
costs
for
the
garbage
police,
rather
police,
trash,
pickup
and
solid
waste
for
the
upcoming
Halloween.
So
we're
moving
money
for
that,
there's
also
a
general
fund
there,
Oh
100
101
207,
if
I
understand
it
correctly.
This
is
going
from
this
is
overtime
pay
for
the
police
for
the
past
tense.
If
I
got
this
correct,
is
that
correct?
H
Okay?
And
this
is
all
time
what
compare
okay,
so
this
cover
is
the
overtime
that's
been
generated
within
for
the
past
year.
Section
2,
of
course,
is
a
is
moving
some
of
the
same
stuff
around.
It
also
includes
the
money
coming
out
of
the
tourism
fund
for
the
same
stuff.
If
I
reading
it
the
same
overtime,
pay
and
increase
cost.
So
this
is
mostly
police
appropriation
or
enforcement
or
services
city
services.
F
F
H
L
H
K
G
All
the
way
we
already
had
some
appropriate
in
the
tourism
from
this
additional
14
and
with
what
you
earlier
approved,
of
the
judge,
transferring
money
to
do
the
jail
and
in
the
County
Courthouse
using
Hocking
correctional
for
the
Regional
Jail.
People
who
are
off-duty
should
be
adequate
to
meet.
What
we
have
his
projected
expenditures
for
outside
of
the
payment
over
time
for
all
of
our
officers
will
be
work
which
Paul's
taken
care
of
in
another
section
on
this.
J
K
G
We
can
always
recede
into
the
general
fund
that
unless
Council
has
designated
something
else
and
part
of
it,
I
think
the
auditor's
office
recommendation
on
that
was
because,
as
these
were
donations,
whereas
in
the
tourism
fund,
it's
all
really
the
collection
of
the
tax
on
both
that
tax
in
the
hotels
motels
that
it
would
be
cleaner
not
to
mix
that
just
leave
it
in
the
general
fund.
We
have
plenty
of
expenses
in
the
general
fund
for
Halloween.
They
can
do
it.
We
can
on
paper,
we
know
what
it
is
and
how
much
it
is.
We.
J
C
L
B
A
President
I
move,
we
consider
ordinance
one
1206
under
suspension
of
the
rules.
Second,
the
reason
for
the
suspension
is
I
too,
am
in
communication
from
the
e
city
service,
Safety
Director
ray
Haslett
that
one
the
work
is
already
done
on
this
project
and
in
order
to
process
the
issue
to
funds,
we
must
show
our
portion
and
the
paperwork,
so
in
turn,
we
would
need
to
pass
this
ordinance.
Your.
B
Other
comments,
all
those
in
favor
of
adoption
of
ordinance
112
us
as
I
posed
the
ordinance
has
been
adopted,
ordinance
one
1306,
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
service,
Safety
Director
dinner
into
a
lease
agreement
with
the
Athens
County
Agricultural
Society
and
declaring
an
emergency
remember
flowers.
Mr.
A
C
L
A
All
council
members
are
aware
we
are
in
receipt
of
the
lease
agreement.
I
will
just
highlight
briefly
some
of
the
school.
Some
of
the
highlights
that
we
discussed
last
week
in
committees
on
the
lease
agreement
with
the
fairgrounds
for
the
parking.
One
of
the
main
changes
was
the
percentage,
forty
five
percent
of
the
fair
board,
forty
five
percent
of
the
city,
and
then
ten
percent
will
go
to
pay
back
the
sidewalk
construction,
and
this
is
a
five-year
agreement.
H
B
B
All
those
in
favor
of
adoption
of
ordinance,
one
1306
aye,
those
opposed
the
ordinance
has
been
adopted
now
for
resolutions
for
second
reading,
are
o
806
a
resolution,
accepting
the
amounts
and
rates
as
determined
by
the
budget
commission
and
authorizing
the
necessary
tax
levies
and
sort
of
and
certifying
them
to
