Athens City Council Advances Building Code Plan
Adoption of a building code for Athens moves toward virtual certainty after a regular council meeting. A first draft was presented, with a citizen-council committee reviewing provisions on zoning and district standards. The meeting also covered a bond-related funding plan for three city funds and an assessing board for the North Hill sewer project. No action was taken on East State street paving as solicitor plans to confer in Columbus on legalities of altered assessment shares. A Johnson Outboard Motor demo accompanied discussions on potential emergency flood response boats.
