A
Great
so
there
you
have
it
with
the
weather
outlook
here
in
the
city
of
athens.
I
was
just
looking
at
something
online
the
other
day
and
it
was
basically
showing
you
know,
states
in
the
united
states
that
are
kind
of
stable
when
it
comes
to
their
coveted
19
cases,
in
other
words,
kind
of
flattening
out.
It
also
showed
states
that
are
on
the
decrease,
and
then
it
showed
states
that
were
on
the
rise.
So
I
think
the
most
notable
in
terms
of
increases
that
I
had
seen
were
texas
arizona.
A
B
A
B
A
So
let
me
start
with
with
road
improvements
or
infrastructure
work.
That's
going
on
in
the
city
of
athens
to
start
with
the
columbus
or
columbia
avenue
retaining
wall
and
sewer
repair
project
that
began
on
june
15th.
That
project
will
continue
on
that's
a
project
that
is
between
madison
avenue
and
briarwood
drive,
so
keep
in
mind
that
there
is
some
work
going
on
back
there.
A
I
do
not
believe
that
they
are
limiting
traffic
flow
on
colombia,
but
just
know
that
there
is
work
on
there,
so
you'll
likely
see
construction
crews
going
throughout
that
area.
College
street
closure
today
began
at
8
a.m,
we'll
hopefully
close
out
at
4
p.m
and
that's
for
brick,
repair
along
college
street
and
that
is
between
east
washington,
street
and
mill
street,
so
hopefully,
that'll
be
wrapping
up
within
the
next
couple
of
hours.
A
A
I
want
to
talk
briefly
about
things
that
are
going
on
with
the
athens
arts
parks
and
recreation
and
community
center,
but
but
all
things,
arts,
parks
and
rec.
Let
me
start
with
the
community
center
I
mentioned
this
last
week.
Is
they
have
their
new
temporary
hours?
This
began
on
june
15th
monday
through
friday,
they'll
be
open
from
6
a.m,
to
8
p.m.
A
They
will
be
closed,
midday
from
12
to
1
p.m,
and
that
is
for
doing
cleaning
going
through
and
cleaning.
Then
they'll
be
open
from
one
to
two
for
senior
hours.
Only
so
those
are
for
our
senior
citizens
to
be
able
to
after
the
cleaning
access
the
equipment
and
then
they
will
also
be
open
saturdays
from
eight
to
two
p.m
and
then
closed
on
sundays.
A
The
aerobic
areas,
as
well
as
things
that
are
going
on
with
the
tracks.
So
let
me
kind
of
go
through
some
of
these.
To
start
with,
the
community
center
will
open
to
members.
Only
memberships
will
be
sold
during
that
time,
and
you
can
inquire
at
the
front
desk
at
the
community
center.
All
patrons
must
check
in
at
the
front
desk
with
the
staff
there's
a
keypad
for
the
membership
entry
that
has
been
temporarily
removed,
so
you
won't
be
using
your
own,
the
keypad,
to
put
in
your
own
information.
A
The
showers
won't
be
available,
nor
will
the
drinking
fountains,
except
for
the
drinking
fountain,
where
you
can
refill
a
refillable,
reusable
bottle
that
will
be
working.
The
basketball
courts
will
not
be
open.
They
have
moved
into
the
basketball
court
area,
though
some
of
the
aerobic
equipment,
so
they
you'll
be
able
to
use
that
loaned
equipment
such
as
basketballs
ping,
pong
balls,
cool
sticks,
gloves,
clickers
and
other
items
will
not
be
available.
A
The
medicine,
balls,
mats,
bands
etc
items
that
you
would
work
to
do
some
isolated
motor
movement.
Those
two
will
not
be
available.
Lockers
will
be
available,
but
they
will
be
limited.
Masks
will
not
be
required,
but
are
recommended
when
you
are
actively
when
you
are
not
actively
exercising
the
room,
rentals
and
shelter
house.
Rentals
are
not
available
at
this
time.
A
The
playgrounds,
though,
to
update
everyone
who's
watching
the
playgrounds
in
my
conversation
just
minutes
ago
with
the
director
of
arts,
parks
and
recreation,
terry
moore,
but
the
plan
is
to
have
the
playground
areas
open
next
week.
They
will
be
posted
that
we
are
still
under
the
covet.
19
pandemic,
so
use
the
playground
equipment
at
your
own
risk.
We
are
encouraging
people
to
bring
their
own
hand
sanitizer
and,
and
if
there's
a
large
gathering,
please
wear
a
mask
when
you're
using
the
playgrounds,
but
again
they
the
playground
areas
will
be
opening
up
next
week.
A
A
A
It
would
increase
your
kilowatt
hour
price
by
0.2
cents,
which,
on
average
for
most
of
us,
we
use
somewhere
around
900
kilowatt
hours
a
month
in
our
for
a
residence
and
what
that
translates
to
is
about
a
dollar
sixty
to
a
dollar.
Eighty
more
a
month
for
your
utility
bill
for
money
that
will
be
collected
and
it'll
go
towards
solar
projects
on
municipal
buildings
throughout
the
city
of
athens.
A
A
So
mark
your
calendars
for
that,
as
we
move
forward.
Other
than
that,
I
don't
have
any
other
updates
for
everyone
who's
tuning
in.
I
do
want
to
encourage
people,
though,
please
continue
to
social
distance,
continue
to
wash
your
hands
frequently
and
wear
a
face
mask
when
you're
out
in
public,
as
I
often
do,
if
not
always
do
when
I'm
out
and
about
keep
a
face
mask
on
one
of
the
the
most
important
things
I
think
we
can
do
for
each
other
is
to
wear
a
face,
mask
it's.
What
you're
doing
by
wearing
a
face
mask?
