City Council Members talked about changes to the AUBA trick-or-treat, extending the 72-hour Residential Parking Permit and updated the Wellhead Protection Plan at Monday night’s meeting.
Athens Uptown Business Association will hold its annual trick-or-treat again this year. The date and road closures are tentative, but the city wants to avoid impacting uptown business sales for the holiday.
Members also reviewed the Residential Parking Permit. The one year pilot program was implemented this year. Permits are $25 and allows residents to park in one location for 72 hours. The project was successful.
The permit benefits citizens without residential parking access or garages.
Mayor Steve Patterson said he encourages council to continue this program for another year.
Councilman Crowl discussed modification to Wellhead Protection and Drinking Water, Title 39. Due to a recent spill, the City updated the language and changed the requirements for reporting a spill.
Members confirmed the LPA agreement for the Richland Avenue Pedestrian Passageway Project.
The Planning and Development Committee also changed the language for Housing Regulations. The easement for Hillcrest Drive was also tabled.
