Athens Council Adopts Three New Ordinances
Athens City Council unanimously approved three new ordinances and two resolutions at a Monday meeting. One ordinance allows the city to condemn property owned by Paul and Donna Brown at 42 Race St in the Urban Renewal area, with a petition to the Common Pleas Court likely this week and a June or fall docket target. another ordinance funds police and water plant vehicles, and a third continues condemnation procedures. The council also approved resolutions transferring city funds to Athens National Bank and Hocking Valley Bank, and a resolution honoring retired City General Superintendent Clyde Beasley for 30 years of service. A tabled item would extend water service to Oakmont Subdivision, to be revisited with developers. the cable franchise ordinance remains on the table for amendments. Additional funds of 3000 are authorized for the recreation commission to hire staff and build facilities for after-school and teen activities starting in fall.
