A
Good
afternoon
and
welcome
once
again
to
the
mayor's
weekly
press
conference
again
I'm
coming
to
you
live
from
my
home,
where
I'm
doing
my
level
of
social
distancing,
but
also
in
lots
of
communications
throughout
the
day,
with
meetings,
as
well
as
meeting
virtually
and
in
conference,
calling
with
a
lot
of
people
throughout
the
day.
As
you
can
just
about.
Imagine
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
off
today.
It's
a
real
dreary
day
outside
and
talk
the
most
pleasant,
but
it's
probably
mid-40s
or
so,
but
as
usual,
I've
got
Kyle
Johansson.
B
A
Thank
You
Kyle
is
usually
does
a
great
job
informing
the
public
about
the
seven-day
outlook
when
it
comes
to
weather.
I
know.
Another
thing
that
you
track
really
closely
is
as
much
as
I
do
is
you're
really
tracking
things
on
the
national
and
state
stage
when
it
comes
to
kovat
19,
do
you
want
to
give
us
a
brief
update,
as
was
told
today
at
the
governor's
press
conference
about
the
Ohio
numbers.
A
So
I'm
going
to
start
with
with
a
new
development.
One
of
the
things
that
we
noticed
is
that,
with
the
closing
of
the
utility
billing
office,
that
and
a
lot
of
people
who
would
come
into
that
office
face
to
face
and
purchase
the
dollar
50
trash
bag
stickers
for
an
extra
bag,
and
also
recognizing
that
during
these
times,
when
everyone
is
staying
home
that
we're
likely
all
generating
more
trash
than
we
normally
would
when
we
are
home
from
roughly
you
know,
4:35
p.m.
A
through
the
evening
and
then
up
in
the
morning
and
off
to
work
again
or
getting
kids
off
to
school
or
whatever.
So
a
lot
more
trash
is
being
generated.
So
let
me
read
this
to
you
again
due
to
the
Cova
19
response
efforts
in
the
city
of
Athens,
we're
going
to
change
things
up
a
little
bit,
giving
people
options
for
purchasing
extra
bag,
trash
extra
trash,
stickers
and
yard
waste
bags.
A
There
will
be
a
table
set
up
inside
the
main
door
into
the
city
building
and
we
will
set
out
the
stickers
and
bags
where
people
can
pick
them
up
in
person.
Citizens
can
also
call
ahead
at
the
engineering
of
Public
Works
at
seven
four:
zero,
five,
nine
three,
seven
six:
three:
six
during
regular
business
hours
and
purchased
their
yard
waste
bags
and
sticker
brush
stickers.
Only
again,
that's
not
for
the
extra
stickers
for
your
your
trash,
your
refuse,
but
these
are
for
the
yard,
waste
bags,
yard
waste
and
brush
stickers
again
dollar.
Fifty.
A
You
can
call
ahead
before
arriving
to
pick
them
up.
It
will
be
left
outside
the
front
door
at
30,
current
Drive
on
the
west
side
of
the
stick
in
the
city,
any
stickers
or
brush
bags
purchased
will
be
added
to
your
billing
address
on
your
next
utility
bill.
We're
trying
to
do
this
in
order
to
kind
of
minimize
the
amount
of
cash
exchange.
A
So
we're
trying
to
kind
of
minimize
that
expense
for
people
knowing
full
well
that
people
with
putting
extra
bags
out
so
again,
please
reach
out
to
the
city
and
purchase
the
the
extra
refuse
bags
stickers
for
your
bags
and
again
contact
utility
billing.
You
can
call
them
at
five,
nine,
two,
three
three
four
for
that,
so
again
strongly
encourage
people
to
do
so.
Other
things
going
on
in
the
city,
the
the
police
department
wants
to
remind
people
that.
A
A
A
You
know
with
the
the
six
foot
separation
with
social
distancing
and
knowing
that
likely
as
the
weekend
rolls
on
that
it
is
going
to
get
nicer
outside
in
comparison
to
today,
you
know
and
in
the
Uptown
area,
where
we
see
a
lot
of
people
walking
about.
We
also
see
a
lot
of
people
who
are
going
to
be
walking
in
areas
of
the
city
where
they
may
not
be
sidewalks.
A
You
know,
good
examples
are
the
south
side
and
the
Far
East
neighborhood
do
not
have
sidewalks
and
there's
other
areas
city
in
the
city
as
well,
where
sidewalks
may
not
be
an
option
to
walk
on.
I
am
really
reaching
out
to
implore
people
if
you're
driving
in
these
areas
that
do
not
have
sidewalks,
please
drive
slowly.
A
Extra
caution
is
necessary
because
there
will
be
people
out
trying
to
get
fresh
air
trying
to
get
exercise
likely
walking
their
pets,
but
and
people
with
small
children
walking
about
and
strollers,
please
his
extra
caution
when
you're
driving
about
throughout
the
neighborhoods,
because
you
know
we
want
to
be
respectful
of
each
other
in
the
Uptown
area.
You
know
please
just
make
sure
that
if
you
are
walking
on
Court
Street
or
in
the
Uptown
area
granted
the
sidewalks
are
in
a
lot
of
places.
A
So
keep
that
in
mind
as
well.
Some
other
things
that
are
going
on
around
the
city
with
arts,
Parks
and
Recreation
I.
Think,
if
you
don't
know
by
now,
if
you
frequent
some
of
these
places,
you
you
have
seen
it.
If
you
do-
and
that
is
that
we
have
taped
off
the
playground
equipment
to
where
it
is
not
to
be
used,
we
have
also
taped
off
the
pavilions
and
the
abilities
are
closed.
The
bathroom
facilities,
restroom
facilities
and
our
parks
are
currently
closed
as
well.
A
The
most
recent
closure
and
I
think
I
may
have
mentioned
this
last
week,
if
not
I'm
mentioning
it
now,
and
that
is
that
we've
closed
down
the
bass,
outdoor
basketball
court
area
has
been
taped
off
tennis
courts
and
the
skatepark
to
reduce
gatherings
of
people
and
likely
high
levels
of
contact
between
people.
So
those
have
been
shut
down.
The
parks
themselves
are
opened,
they're
open
as
well
as
at
this
point
in
time.
A
The
dog
parks
are
open,
but
just
make
note
that
some
of
that
may
change,
depending
on
the
severity
of
things
as
we
move
forward.
You
know
the
last
thing
I
want
to
share
with
everybody.
I
know
that
that
everyone
is
doing
the
best
they
can
and
being
creative
with
the
Stan
home
process
or
telecommuting.
A
A
Please
keep
this
in
mind.
It's
something
that
that
my
police
chief
mentioned
to
me
today,
and
it
really
really
resonated
with
me
that
the
whole
thing
with
the
social
distancing
and
stay
at
home.
You
know
the
one
thing:
keep
us
in
mind
that
the
coronavirus
it
doesn't
have
legs.
It
can't
fly,
it
can't
move
around
it's.
It
can't
move
we're
the
people
who
are
moving
around
so
the
more
we
move
around
the
warp
more.
We
run
the
risk
of
spreading
the
coronavirus
around.
