Weekly
update

back
now
in
council

know
we've
been
bouncing
around
a
little
bit
of
late,
but
we're
back
and
I'll
tell
you
what
I
had
a
meeting
earlier
today
up
in
gloucester
for
the
land
bank
and
it's
gloomy
out
there
kyle.
So
are
we
looking
at
gloomy
weather
for
the
next
few
days
or
so
or
what
is
it
going
to
look
like
over
the
next
seven
day,
outlook.
B
B
B
B
Due
to
this
delta
variance,
hurt
we're
more
likely
to
see
more
deaths,
going
up
as
statewide
seeing
more
deaths
on
the
uptick
rise
to
this
delta
variance
surge.
Please
everyone
be
safe
out.
There
warrior
mask
and
social
distance
along
with
each
other
six
feet
apart
and
will
get
fruit
is
one
way
or
the
other
in
ohio
athletics.
Football
is
in
louisiana
tomorrow
at
8
pm
in
lafayette
louisiana.
B
Luckily,
vita
it's
long
gone
down
that
same
area
now
nicholas
is
embedding
that
same
once
again
and
field
hockey
is
home
again.
Next
friday
we
got
soccer
triangle
fame
day,
the
24th
or
the
23rd,
and
we
got
volleyball
training
gold
next
friday,
the
24th
and
then
football's
away
again
next
saturday
in
northwestern
12
p.m.
Kickoff
time.
A
Against
northwestern
northwestern
and
kyle
you,
you
got
to
say
hi
to
your
buddy
again
this
past
weekend,
because
it
was
a
tourniquet
gold
football
game.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
it
was
the
other
thing.
That's
really
cool
is
that
kyle
got
to
go
down
onto
the
field
for
the
first
time
in
eight
years,
it's
it's
pretty
cool
being
down
there
on
the
field.
Isn't
it
yes,.
A
And
it'll
happen:
kyle
yeah,
I
know
you
a
couple
things
to
bring
up
today,
actually
quite
a
few
things.
The
first
one
importantly,
is:
we
have
a
boil
order,
a
boil
advisory.
A
A
This
will
be
for
campbell
street
south
of
stimson
avenue,
including
25
and
35,
and
a
half
east
stimson
avenue.
So
keep
that
in
mind,
if
that's
the
within
the
proximity
of
which
you
live.
The
other
thing
I
think
ryan,
has
the
map
he's
going
to
put
up
it's
that
time
of
year
again,
so
it's
the
2021
leaf
pickup
and
I've
got
the
schedule
and
you're
looking
at
the
map,
the
area
one
which,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
area,
1.
A
A
That
pickup
will
begin
october
25th
and
run
through
the
29th
november
15th
through
the
19th
and
december
6th
through
the
10th,
and
I
should
also
point
out
that
there
will
also
be
good
always
mentioned
in
the
holiday
tree
pickup
at
this
point
in
the
game.
That'll
take
place
december
25th
of
this
year
and
run
through
january
28th
of
2022
to
rid
yourself
of
your
holiday
tree.
A
The
the
this
leaf
pickup
is
a
great
program,
and
really
we
encourage
everyone
to
take
advantage
of
this
to
where
you
just
on
those
days,
make
sure
your
leaves
are
raked
down
to
your
curbside
and
our
back
truck
the
leafer
will
come
through
and
take
care
of
those
for
you.
A
We've
got
several
openings
here
in
the
city
of
athens,
the
first
one
I
want
to
mention
that
we're
currently
looking
to
hire
a
full-time
account
administrator.
A
This
is
an
individual
that
will
perform
tasks
in
billing
and
accounting
receivable
functions.
The
position
is
a
classified
service
of
the
city,
requires
a
six-month
probationary
period
and
is
covered
by
the
fair
labor
standards
act.
It's
a
full-time
position
monday
through
friday,
eight
to
four
pm.
A
It
is
also
listed
as
a
pay
grade,
four,
with
a
starting
hourly
rate
of
seventeen
dollars
and
seventeen
cents
also,
as
we
all
recognize,
have
a
generous
health
care
package
paid
holidays,
sick
leave,
vacation
time,
comprehensive
health
care
plan,
so
on
and
so
forth.
So,
if
you're
interested,
we
encourage
you
to
reach
out
to
the
hr
director
at
you
can
call
them
at
seven
740-592-3367.
A
Cents
per
hour,
everything
that
I
mentioned
with
the
previous
supplies
as
well
again.
This
is
a
the
classified
service
for
the
city
and
is
non-exempt
under
the
provisions
of
the
fair
labor
act.
Standards
act
if
you're
interested
in
that
position,
or
at
least
applying
and
to
get
on
the
eligibility
list,
reach
out
to
again
hr
at
the
numbers
that
I've
already
given
to
you
to
apply
for
that
as
well.
A
So
again,
if
you're
interested,
I
would
encourage
you
to
reach
out
and
apply
to
get
on
the
eligibility
list.
You
know
we've
seen
as
kyle
indicated
on
the
front
end,
we've
been
watching
these
numbers
arising
continuing
to
rise.
These
were
yesterday's
numbers.
We
haven't
received
today's
numbers
yet,
but
we
have
exceeded
a
thousand
positive
cases,
one
one
thousand
three
to
be
exact.
A
I
have
asked
had
people
ask
me,
you
know:
are
these
numbers?
Are
they
just
becoming
additive
going
up
and
up
and
up,
and
not
removing
people
who
have
gone
through
14
days
with
the
virus,
at
which
point
they
would
roll
off?
No,
they
are
rolling
off.
We
have
had
a
large
number
of
people
roll
off
the
active
case
list.
So
these
what
you
see
in
this
list
of
1003
is
1003
cases.
The
other
thing
and
kyle
mentioned
this
as
well.
A
A
A
A
A
A
If
you
have
any
questions
regarding
the
vaccine
and
as
kyle
mentioned
to
me
before
we
began
today,
and
I've
heard
this
elsewhere
that
you
know
it.
It's
there's
a
likelihood
high
likelihood
that
individuals
who
are
between
the
ages
of
I
believe,
four
five
to
eleven.
A
Five
to
eleven
will
be
eligible
by
late
october
to
get
the
vaccine,
which
is
wonderful
news,
because
we
are
certainly
are
seeing
a
lot
of
covet
19
running
through
our
k
through
6
group
of
young
individuals.
So
so
keep
that
in
mind
as
well
a
pleasant
announcement.
A
We
offered
the
position
a
position
here
in
the
city
of
athens.
It
was
the
new
director
or
it
was
a
director
position
for
engineering
and
public
works
and
sully
alabaga
accepted
that
position
solely
had
worked
for
odot
ohio
department
of
transportation
for
many
many
years
and
has
worked
in
our
district
and
has
also
worked
with
my
service
safety
director,
who
was
the
former
director
for
engineering
and
public
works,
andy
stone.
A
A
couple
of
things,
meeting
wise
meetings
that
are
coming
up.
The
recreation
advisory
board
is
meeting
tomorrow,
thursday,
the
16th
at
5
30
to
6
30
at
the
athens
community
center
activity,
room
c
and
city
council,
as
usual,
will
be
meeting
here
monday
evening
at
7
pm
on
september.
20Th,
so
mark
your
calendar
for
that
some
other
things
that
are
going
on
that
are
pretty
interesting
and
hopefully
you
find
of
interest
as
well.
A
The
league
of
women
voters
for
athens
county
have
a
candidate
forum
slated
for
september
21st
at
7
00
p.m,
and
that
will
be
a
candidate
forum
for
the
at-large
candidates
who
are
running
for
those
positions.
We
have
three
at-large
elected
officials,
council
members,
and
there
will
be
three
incumbents
who
are
running
for
re-election
and
two
challengers,
so
I
think
it
would
be
interesting
to
listen
to
the
five
of
them
as
to
what
their
positions
are
when
it
comes
to
all
things.
City
council
at
large
in
particular
also
the
pop-off
fest.
A
Is
this
weekend
starting
friday
and
running
through
sunday
out
at
lake
snowden.
I
was
just
talking
with
county
commissioner
krish
meal
about
that
and
that
they
he
feels
that
they
are
prepared
and
ready
for
that
event.
A
To
be
taking
place
the
tomorrow,
I
will
be
attending
the
ohio
mayor's
alliance
up
in
columbus,
where
I'll
be
sitting
there,
with
mayors
from
across
the
state
discussing
everything
ranging
from
our
census
counts
and
whether
we
feel
that
we
may
have
experienced
undercounts
to
a
number
of
different
topics,
broadband
and
things
of
that
nature,
so
I'll
be
attending
that
all
day
tomorrow
and
then
on
friday,
I
have
a
conference
call
with
governor
dewine
and
lieutenant
governor
hughstead
to
discuss
some
of
the
things
that
we
are
experiencing
in
here
in
athens,
I'll,
be
accompanied
by
nine
other
small
city,
mayors
or
smaller
city
mayors
from
across
the
state
as
well
and
again
kind
of
weighing
in
on
things
that
we
are
experiencing,
and
I
certainly
trying
to
identify
ways
in
which
the
governor
and
lieutenant
governor
can
possibly
help
in
our
community.
A
So
looking
forward
to
that
as
well
kyle.
Thank
you
as
usual.
It's
always
great
having
you
I'm
glad
that
you're
doing
well,
I'm
glad
that
you're
getting
your
your
rufus,
the
bobcat
fix
in
every
time
you
attend
a
game
or
somewhere
that
you're
I
enjoy
watching
your
facebook
postings,
where
you
are
with
rufus
and
thank
you
for
tuning
in.
Hopefully,
you'll
join
us
again
next
week
for
the
next
press
conference
with
the
mayor
and
