Mayor's Press Conference - May 25, 2022
A
Once
again
to
the
weekly
update
with
kyle
johansen
and
the
mayor
and
we're
going
to
kind
of
shift
things
around
a
little
bit
today
and
usually
I
have
the
proclamations
on
the
back
end
of
the
press
conference,
but
I'm
going
to
bring
them
forward.
Since
I
have
two
today
and
I'm
going
to
start
with
one.
That
was
a
request
that
came
from
the
gillum
frank
vfw,
post
8804.
A
Many
local
residents
witnessed
the
signing
of
the
charter
and
the
club
club's
pledge
to
serve
the
community
and
whereas
veterans
of
the
vfw
post
8804
play
a
vital
role
in
serving
communities
community
and
providing
valuable
services
through
their
veterans,
helping
veterans,
annual,
fundraising
program
event
that
is
held
in
waterloo
or
by
the
waterloo,
hot
rod,
association,
annual
vehicle
show
and
whereas
the
waterloo,
hot
rod
association
will
hold
the
hot
rods.
Clubs
2022
rally
in
the
valley
vehicle
show
on
may
28th.
A
A
And
I'm
going
to
give
just
a
little
bit
more
information
on
that
that,
like
I
said,
is,
is
may
28th
from
11
to
8
p.m.
It's
in
the
walmart
parking
lot
on
east
state
street
here
in
athens
behind
the
burger
king
area,
so
live
bands.
Craft
shows,
kids
games,
50,
50
pace,
face,
painting,
there's
music,
that's
going
to
be
played;
there's
a
10
registration
fee,
so
go
and
check
this
out.
So
thank
you,
gentlemen.
A
All
right,
I
know
I've
kelly
lowry
and
a
number
of
other
people
who
are
here.
The
second
proclamation
was
sent
to
me-
and
I
felt
this
was-
was
so
poignant,
given
everything
that
we've
all
been
enduring
for
the
past
two
years,
but
you
know
most
notably
our
community
health
care
workers.
You
know
on
the
front
line
every
day
you
know
the
health
workers
throughout
the
city
and
the
county.
A
You
know
absolutely,
you
know
not
just
deserve
they.
They
are
entitled
to
the
respect
for
everything
they're
going
through.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
steve
patterson,
the
mayor
of
the
great
city
of
athens,
ohio,
do
hereby
proclaim
june
6th
of
2022
as
community
health
workers
day
here
in
the
city
of
athens,
and
it
should
be
the
city
of
athens
and
athens
county.
Should
it
not
okay,
I'm
not
going
to
amend
it,
but
I
certainly
want
to
highlight
that
I'm
kelly,
if
you'd
like
to
come
up.
A
A
A
All
right,
kyle
fill
us
in
on
all
things:
weather,
sports
and
covet
19.
B
B
Tomorrow
morning
to
afternoon,
thunderstorms,
high
of
82
low
63
friday's
hit
or
miss
thunderstorms,
be
scattered.
High
of
74
low
56
saturday
began
memorial
day
weekend,
high
of
74
low
54
showers
in
the
morning
sunday,
mostly

with
a
brightly
cloudy
skies,
high

mostly
sunny
skies,
low
65,
mostly
clear
next
tuesday
night,
three
low

mostly
sunny,
and
next
wednesday.
We
got
sunny
skies,
I
am
94.,
well
69
and
don't
forget.
Trash
is
moved
next
week
so
like.
B
If
your
trash
day
is
on
the
monday,
it'll
be
a
tuesday
juice
will
be
a
wednesday.
Wednesday
will
be
your
first
day.
First
will
be
a
friday.
Friday
will
be
a
saturday
and
so
on
and
coronavirus
cases.
In
the
last
week,
last
two
weeks
or
so
united
states
averaging
roughly
around
a
hundred
thousand
cases
per
day,
because
it's
not
just
the
kids
are
going
up
with
mass
golf's,
because
it's
a
graduation
season
still
wrapping
up
this
month.
B
Now
normally
start
run
of
ours.
Kids
going
around
now
they
are
tracking
the
monkey
parts
which
is
more
coming
from
monkeys
and
actually
can
be
transmitted
to
humans,
but
there
is
actually
a
vaccine
for
it
right
still
right
now,
because
right
now
we
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
be
a
bigger
word
for
us
yet.
But
several
states
has
the
florida
utah
massachusetts
and
new
york
and
of
course,
africa
has
150.
Other
countries
are
seeing
the
monkey
park
spraying
around.
B
It's
just
like
a
chicken
pox,
but
it's
kind
of
like
you
get
these
rashes,
but
you
can
actually
don't
have
to
get
hospitalized
from
as
easily
as
kova
does,
but
there's
actually
a
vaccine
for
monkey
parks,
as
well
as
the
crown
of
virus
and
coronavirus
vaccines.
They
just
saw
the
pfizer
and
modernist
should
be
approved
for
ages,
2,
muffled
deforest
by
june
15th,
just
in
time
for
the
june
team
festivals
that
are
coming
up.
We
had
ours
on
college
green
june,
18th,
3
p.m,
to
6
p.m.
B
Saturday,
and
that's
about
three
weeks
away
and
then
sports
for
our
flex.
We
got
the
cover
heads
both
mac
tournaments,
where
all
you
baseball
are
wrapping
up
this
week
and
then
copperheads
are
back
this
upcoming
saturday.
Well,
this
upcoming
sunday
I'll.
Take
that
back
this
upcoming
summer
june.
7Th
is
the
first
home
game,
barbarian,
stadium,
705,
p.m,
post
game
fireworks
and
there
are
90
home
games
and
the
last
one
is
july
23rd,
and
also
not
long
after
that
we
got
the
all.
You
have
flex
events
starting
up
and
running
it
like
the
pee
and
pusa.
B
A
The
cycle
will
start
all
over
again
kyle
and
a
big
circle,
a
big
circle,
with
a
football
in
the
fall.
Of
course,
thanks
kyle,
you
know
just
as
a
reminder
to
everyone.
The
city
of
athens
just
restarted
the
sampling
coming
from
the
richland
avenue,
lift
station,
the
depot
lift
station
and
a
site
that
we
were
able
to
sample
viral
load,
covered
19
viral
load
at
the
library
in
the
vicinity
of
the
athens
city.
A
Library-
and
you
know
the
things
look
fairly
stable
in
terms
of
the
viral
load,
that's
being
sampled
in
the
sewage
as
it's
coming
into
the
wastewater
treatment
plant,
but
it
is
still
elevated.
So
it's
certainly
reflective
of
the
cases
that
we're
still
experiencing
here
within
the
city
and
just
wanting
that
to
be
out
in
people's
minds
that
you
know
sure
you
can
be
vaccinated,
you
can
be
vaccinated
boosted,
you
can
be
vaccinated
boosted,
boosted
and
the
you
know.
You
are
still
there's
still
a
possibility
of
you
becoming
infected.
A
A
Be
smart,
the
ohio
university
project,
that
is
the
west
you
or
east
union
street
and
south
college
street
that
project
is
still
moving
along.
They
I
go
by
it
all
the
time
that
street
stretch
of
street
is
still
closed,
that
street
being
east
union,
basically
between
court
street
and
university
terrace.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind.
It's
also
closed
to
pedestrian
crossing.
A
If
you're,
trying
to
cross
from
college
green
and
head
up
college
street
you'll
be
detoured
all
the
way
up
to
court
street,
which
really
isn't
all
that
far
and
use
it
that
way
so
college
gate
is
closed
and
so
keep
that
in
mind,
as
well
as
the
roadway
tax
amnesty
program
that
is
june
1st
through
the
30th
again,
just
as
a
reminder
that
people
can
get
caught
up
on
taxes
that
they
may
not
have
paid
and
in
some
cases
because
they
didn't
know
they
were
required
to
pay
city
income
tax.
A
A
And
get
more
information
on
the
amnesty
program,
the
dora
just
a
good
reminder:
the
designated
outdoor
refreshment
area
here
in
the
city
of
athens
that
basically
runs
from
carpenter
street.
All
the
way
on
court
up
to
union
and
then
west
union
down
to
the
vicinity
of
depot
street
is
the
footprint
and
the
dora
is
live
every
thursday,
friday,
saturday
and
sunday,
thursdays
from
5
to
10
fridays
and
saturdays.
It
is
live
from
noon
to
10
pm
and
then
on
sundays.
A
It
is
live
from
noon
to
8
pm
to
where
you
can
have
a
designated
dora
cup
with
a
beverage
in
it
of
your
choice,
but
it
must
be
consumed
within
the
dora
footprint.
You
cannot
leave
the
dora
area
and
just
kind
of
meander
through
the
city
of
athens
with
an
alcoholic
beverage.
In
your
hand,
that
will
get
you
in
trouble.
A
The
last
thing
I
have
is
the
school
or
the
school
schools.
You
know
at
least
the
schools
in
the
athens
city,
school
district.
I
believe
correctly,
if
I'm
wrong,
anybody
that
I
think
they're
wrapping
up
tomorrow
afternoon
tomorrow
at
the
end
of
school
yay.
I
know
my
daughters
are
excited.
Graduating
from
fourth
grade
and
moving
on
to
fifth-
which
I
don't
think
is
graduation,
but
to
them
it
is
they're
excited
the
athens
city
pool.
A
The
pool
is
going
to
be
open.
This
coming
weekend
pool
passes
are
on
sale,
they
have
the
pre-season
sale
and
that
starts
the
26th
from
11
to
2
p.m.
The
27th
from
12
to
6
p.m.
At
the
city
pool
main
office.
So
you
can
pick
up
your
passes.
A
The
you
know
I'm
going
to
encourage
you
to
go
to
the
city's
website
and
look
at
the
pricing.
I
mean
there's
all
kinds
of
different
programs
as
individual
adult
individual
youth,
individual
senior
household
punch
cards
for
20
visits,
10
visits.
A
I
have
to
say
catherine,
ann
jordan,
director
of
arts,
parks
and
recreation,
has
done
a
fantastic
job
and
has
hired
a
new
new
pool
manager.
Who
also
is
awesome
and
is
doing
great
things
annie
is
her
name
and
you're
going
to
see
annie
there
at
the
pool
a
lot
this
summer.
You
know
given
guidance
to
the
lifeguards.
We
still
are
looking
for
people
who
might
be
interested
in
lifeguarding
this
summer
and
getting
certified
as
a
lifeguard
that
is
going
on
currently,
but
always
looking
for
more
lifeguards
and
probably
more
staff.
A
But
we
are
well
staffed
right
now
at
the
city
pool,
which
is
great
news.
As
kyle
had
indicated.
This
is
memorial
day
weekend.
It's
quickly
approaching,
there
will
be
a
memorial
day,
parade
down
court
street
and
it
will
terminate
at
the
west
union
cemetery,
and
there
will
be
a
summit,
a
cemetery
ceremony
for
memorial
day
at
11
a.m
at
the
west
union
cemetery,
which
is
always
a
a
great
reminder
to
remember
those
who
paid
the
ultimate
price
in
protecting
our
country
and
our
citizens.
A
And
so
hopefully,
everyone
will
at
least
make
note
of
what
memorial
day
is
all
about.
And
if
you
have
the
chance
to
go
up
to
the
west
union
cemetery,
please
attend
and
other
than
that.
I
really
hope
that
everybody
enjoys
your
memorial
day
weekend
and,
as
kyle
indicated,
just
keep
in
the
back
of
your
mind
that
trash
and
recycling
is
offset
as
it
will
be
for
juneteenth,
which
is
right
around
the
corner
from
memorial
day
same
thing.
So
thanks
for
tuning
in
hopefully
you'll
join
kyle,
and
I
again
it
won't
be
for
a
while.
A
It
won't
be
until
I
think
somewhere
in
the
vicinity
of
the
15th
of
june
or
yeah.
The
third
week
in
june
is
when
we
will
have
the
next
because
of
my
attendance
at
conferences
and
meetings
in
the
washington
dc
area
and
all
that
good
stuff.
So
join
us
again
in
three
weeks.
Take
care.
