A
We
will
now
call
the
beaufort
county
board
of
education
legislative
committee
meeting
to
order
it
is,
let's
see
tuesday
march
29,
2022
5
30
p.m,
and
we
have
a
quorum.
All
of
our
committee
members
are
present,
angela
middleton
patricia
fidrich
wisniewski
and
myself,
christina
guads.
A
A
A
Next
up,
we
have
approval
of
our
agenda.
We
have
a
motion
from
one
of
the
committee
members
to
approve
the
agenda.
A
A
I
just
want
to
report
that
ms
cartlage
has
joined
us
and
board
member
earl
campbell
has
joined
us
next
up
on
the
agenda.
Is
our
committee
scope,
since
this
is
our
first
meeting
and
I
have
drafted
a
potential
committee
scope
and
I
thought
it
might
be
easier
if,
if
we
had
a
draft
and
I'm
certainly
open
to
any
suggestions
or
wordsmithing,
maybe
robin
you
could
make
it
a
little
larger.
A
And
I'll
just
read
it
because
rachel's
has
joined
us
by
phone,
so
the
beaver
category.
I
can
see
it.
I
think
you
can't.
Okay,
I'm
sorry!
Yes
all
right,
but
I
don't
need
to
read
it.
Everybody
can
see
it.
A
A
couple
comments
from
me
is
one
I
thought
it
was
important
that
we
mentioned
you
know
we're
advising
the
full
board.
It's
we're,
not
a
separate
entity
with
separate
authority,
we're
you
know,
providing
guidance
on
legislative
positions
and
assisting
with
developing
the
board's
annual
legislative
platform
and
year-round
advocacy
plan
in
the
past
we
have
had
kathy.
A
Robine
has
been
great
about
drafting
the
legislative
agendas
or
platforms
after
board
input,
and
then
also
I
thought
it
was
important
to
mention
that
we
we
specifically
have
a
legislative
lobbyist
that
that's
we're.
You
know
not.
We
won't
be
lobbying
specifically
up
at
the
state
house,
so
dr
wisniewski.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
had
one
suggestion
and
it's
simply
because
of
we
have
an
item
on
the
agenda
today,
that
is
in
regard
to
a
town
of
hilton,
head
ordinance
and
the
scope
presently
speaks
towards
just
legislative
positions,
and
I
don't
know
if
we
want
to
include
any
local.
C
You
know
laws
or
regulations
in
there
as
well,
but
they
do
have
impact
on
us
and
our
budget,
and
obviously
just
by
the
the
one
that's
on
our
agenda
today.
So
perhaps
we
want
to
amend
it
slightly
to
include
local
and
statewide
legislative
and
regulatory
positions.
C
A
Yeah,
why
don't
we
let
the
others
comment
and
then
we
can
yeah
sure
move
forward?
Okay,
so
trisha
thank.
D
You
that
was
going
to
be
my
suggestion
also
that
we
maybe
include
our
local
entities.
You
know
the
elected
officials,
municipalities,
states
or
the
any
impending
rules
and
regulations
that
might
be
more
local
as
well.
So
I
agree
with
rachel.
A
So
our
a
simple
suggestion
would
be
to
just
put
before
before
the
word
guidance.
We
could
say.
A
A
D
A
A
I'd
love
to
hear
wendy's
comment
of.
I
know
what
you're
driving
at
rachel
just
seems
like
it's
a
little
hard
to
understand.
A
So
I
like
that,
how
do
the
other
committee
members
feel
about
that.
A
A
A
All
right
there
being
none,
we
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
scope
and
bring
it
forward
to
the
board.
At
the
next
meeting,
madam
chair,
I
move
that
we
approve
the
legislative
committee
scope
as
written
in
a
second,
a
second
all
right,
miss
thank
you,
angela
and
thank
you
trisha,
any
further
discussion
there
being
none
all
those
in
favor,
aye,
aye
aye.
A
The
scope
is
approved
as
written
unanimously.
B
So
I
have
it
correct
I
added
on
local
regulatory
and
state
legislators,
so
that
was
the
only
thing
that
we
changed
correct,
exactly
okay,
I
want
to
make
sure
I
got
it
correct.
A
Okay,
well,
this
was
one
of
dr
rodriguez's
suggestions
for
today's
agenda
and
alternatives
to
teacher
certifications.
As
we
all
know,
our
district
and
all
the
other
districts
statewide
and
nationally
are
having
a
hard
time
recruiting
and
retaining
qualified
teachers.
A
F
F
Then
we
also
have
the
kate
program,
and
that
is
for
cte
teachers,
and
then
we
have
teach
for
america,
and
then
we
have
a
couple
of
other
programs
that
the
state
endorses
to
bring
teachers
out
of
a
regular
workforce
into
the
classroom.
F
F
If
I
am
a
say,
I
am
a
mathematician
and
I
work
for
say
walmart
and
I've
done
accounting
and
I
wanted
to
change
careers,
and
I
want
to
go
into
the
classroom.
F
F
F
You
must
have
a
degree
in
the
certificate
that
they
will
give
you
it's
a
three-year
program.
Yes,
you
can
teach
when
you're
going
through
the
program,
it
is
rigorous.
At
best
you
go
into
the
classroom
with
no
experience,
then
you
have
to
attend
classes
to
pick
up
the
pedagogy
piece.
So
it
is.
It
is
a
tough
program.
F
F
F
F
A
Thank
you,
miss
walton,
dr
wisniewski,.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Miss
walton.
Can
you
tell
me
what
some
of
the
the
arguments
have
been
against
removing
these
barriers?
I'm
just
I'm
trying
to
think
you
know
it
would.
It
makes
absolute
sense
that
if
the
public
charter
schools
are
able
to
do
this,
I
don't
I'm
not
sure
why
the
public
schools
would
not
be
allowed
to
do
this.
So
can
you
give
me
some
an
idea
of
what
some
of
the
arguments
against
it
have
been
in
the
past.
F
I
I
think
they
their
arguments
have
not
been
fully
convinceable,
because
we
argue
about
the
same
things.
Every
year.
It's
it's.
We
need
to
have
control,
we
need
to
make
sure
we
haven't.
We
put
qualified
teachers
in
front
of
the
classroom,
we're
responsible
for
84
districts,
and
all
of
them
must
be
equal
across
the
board.
Their
relief
for
the
charter.
Schools
is
just
that.
That
is
a
separate
entity.
Even
though
it's
a
south
carolina
school
district
in
itself,
they
feel
that
there's
more
control
of
the
charter
schools
than
there
are
with
the
public
schools.
F
C
Thank
you,
for
that.
Is
there
any
any
way
that
you
could
perhaps
provide
the
committee
with
maybe
a
listing
of
the
different,
the
hoops
that
you
guys
are
having
to
jump
through
a
list
of
the
barriers
that
you
see
as
being
the
most
difficult
to
overcome
just
list
them
out,
as
as
you
see
them
for
the
different
programs,
so
that.
E
C
Yes,
because
this
is,
this
is
kind
of
new
for
me
at
least
to
wrap
my
my
head
around
and,
of
course,
I
think
it's
a
important
topic.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
look
at
what
it
is
that
you're
suggesting
we
we
remove,
so
that
you
know
we
can
make
a
good
suggestion
to
the
full
board.
F
F
Then
they
will
give
you
experience
for
the
years
that
you've
worked
in
a
field.
If
you
were
a
chef,
they
give
you
x
amount
of
years,
but
they
don't
go
up,
but
so
many
years.
So,
if
I
brought
in
a
chef
with
25
years
of
experience,
they
will
give
them
only
six
years
and
a
master's
degree
which
puts
them
very
low
on
the
salary
schedule
so
coming
from
private
industry
into
a
classroom.
With
all
of
that
experience,
the
state
still
knocks
them
down,
because
they
can't
get
credit
for
the
work
experience
fully.
C
Thank
you
and
that
example
is
really
helpful
too.
Last
question,
madam
chair.
My
apologies.
Do
you
know
of
any
organizations
that
have
advocated
against
these
alternative
teachers,
certification
routes
or
again,
making
changes
to
them.
F
No,
I
do
not.
I
I
do
not
we're
pretty
much
all
on
the
same
page.
We
need
some
relief
with
certification
and
then
south
carolina
really
doesn't
have
a
true
reciprocity
program
either
because
we
will
get
teachers
from
out
of
state,
that's
certified
in
elementary
and
middle
school
and
they
come
to
us.
South
carolina
will
look
at
their
credentials
and
say
we
will
certify
you
in
elementary,
but
not
middle
school.
A
All
right
patricia
fidrich.
D
D
That's
correct
and
also
is
it
isn't
it
true
that
maybe
some
of
the
teacher
organizations
like
scea
and
palmetto
state
teachers
association
are
against
the
idea
of
allowing
teachers
non-certified
teachers
into
the
classroom
has
have
they
not
had
a
big
pushback
on
this?
They.
F
Had
a
big
push
back
on
the
last
initiative
and
that
initiative
was
let
classified
individuals
go
into
the
classroom
that
have
no
degrees,
no
education.
No
anything.
There
was
a
push
back
on
the
abc
teach.
In
fact,
at
one
point
they
were
saying
they
called
it.
Anybody
can
teach
the
abc
program,
but
you
still
have
to
have
a
degree
with
that
program.
F
You
still
have
to
go
through
testing
with
that
program,
but
the
last
initiative
was
if
you're
classified
if
you're
anyone-
and
you
think
you
want
to
teach-
then
we're
going
to
let
you
go
into
the
classroom
without
any
support
or
any
guidelines
or
teaching
to
get
you
to
where
you
need
to
be
as
a
classroom
teacher
that
was
the
biggest
pushback.
A
Angela,
I
thank
you,
miss
walton
for
the
information
I
came
in
through
the
alternative
certification
program
many
months
ago.
So
my
question
is:
do
teachers
that
those
teachers
that
are
in
the
pace
program
in
the
cape
program
do
they
have
to
pay
for
the
master's
level
courses
that
they
have
to
take,
because
I
know
I
had
to
take?
F
I
think
at
some
point
when
we
got
the
loan
from
or
the
grant
from
the
sarah
organization,
we
helped
facilitate
or
pay
for
the
k
teachers,
loans
that
they
had
to
take
in
order
to
become
certified,
but
that
will
dried
up
and
we
have
not
done
that
since
how
long
ago
was
that
about
four
years
ago,
wow.
G
A
very
straightforward
argument,
it
seems
to
me,
is
that
we
want
to
be
on
equal
footing
with
charter
schools.
I
think
that's
an
easily
digestible
thing
to
put
out
there
that,
hopefully
wouldn't
irritate
everybody,
it
seems
so
simple
and
it
from
what
you
were
saying
alice.
I
think
that
would
take
us
a
huge
step
toward
where
we
want
to
get
so.
I'm
not
sure
how
we
would
push
that,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
if
we
focus
just
on
that,
a
very
simple
message,
we
just
want
to
be
equal
to
charter
schools.
G
G
Splash
over
effect
for
us
also,
I
know
there
are
a
couple
of
bills
up
there
now
that
the
the
association
is
pushing
on
about
vouchers.
So
you
know,
I
think
the
timing
might
be
good
to
try
to
get
that
message
out.
I'm
not
sure
how
the
committee
would
formulate
the
message
and
get
it
out,
but
I'd
suggest
that
would
be
a
good,
a
good
initial
step.
G
A
Footing
with
the
charter
schools,
I
don't
make
any
sense.
So
what
would
the?
How
would
the
committee
like
to
address
this?
A
C
I
think
that
the
first
question
that
I
have
is
is:
is
there
any
legislative,
any
legislation
that
is
pending
right
now?
That
perhaps
is
looking
to
address
this,
and
if
so,
what
stage
is
it
in
you
know,
so
that
we
can
look
towards
that
legislation
first
to
see,
if
there's
any
amendments
that
we
could
suggest
there,
since
it's
already
moving
through
the
process.
C
If
not,
we
have
to
start
completely
from
scratch,
then
I
think,
looking
towards
the
actual
statutes
that
are
prohibitive,
that
miss
walton
suggested
or
talked
to
would
probably
be
the
best
way
to
start
looking
at
it
just
to
look
at
the
actual
language
that
is
prohibited
right
now
and
also
see
if
there's
any
language,
that's
moving
through
the
system
that
could
perhaps
be
modified.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Trisha.
A
Was
exactly
my
thoughts
trisha,
so
would
you.
A
I'm
happy
to
or
to
yes
go
ahead
robin
I
see
your
hands
up.
B
A
So
if
the
committee
is
in
agreement
with
this,
I
could
send
an
email
to
to
her
asking
her
to
please
address
this.
Your
question
rachel,
is,
you
know
what
is
currently
before
the
legislative
general
assembly
this
year
regarding
this
topic.
Does
that
sound
reasonable.
C
I
think
so
I
don't
know
if
she
I
mean
I,
I
can't
recall
what
her
contract
currently
provides
for
in
terms
of
her
coming
to
meetings
or
just
providing
guidance
via
email
or
something
like
that.
I'm
just
trying
to
think
of
the
most
cost
beneficial
way
to
go
about
doing
that.
A
I
think
it
will
be
fine.
I
mean
it's
a
it's
not
on
an
hourly
basis
or
the
contract.
It's
you
know
on
a
it's
a
monthly
ba.
Well,
it's
really
an
annual
basis.
It's
divided
into
monthly
payments.
So
and
it's
expected
that
she
will,
you
know,
come
and
report
to
the
board,
and
this
could
be.
This
is
one
of
the
the
questions
that
the
legislative
committee
thinks
would
be
of
interest
to
the
board
and
since
she's
going
to
come
to
the
next
board
meeting,
I
don't
think
we.
E
D
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
ask
alice
if
we
were
allowed
to
be
on
equal
footing
with
the
charter
schools
and
have
the
same
percentage
of
uncertified
teachers
as
teachers.
What
kind
of
difference
does
she
think
that
would
make
as
far
as
our
vacancies.
F
That
that's
a
that's
a
tough
question,
but
if,
if
we
look
at
say
right
now
right
this
moment,
we
have
314
vacancies
for
next
year.
D
F
A
D
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
know
that
greenville
under
the
new
schools
of
innovation
law
that
passed
applied
for
as
made
all
their
schools,
I'm
not
sure
exactly
how
how
if
it's,
how
it's
played
out,
but
they
had
basically
said
they'd
like
to
make
all
of
their
schools
schools
of
innovation
and
then
what
they
were
able
to
do
was
to
make
two
requests.
I
I
A
F
We
have
been
working
on
that
in
fact,
charleston
and
greenville
as
well
have
their
own
copycat
version
of
the
pace
program
in
place.
Now
I
think
it's
teach
charleston
and
I'm
not
too
sure
what
the
greenville
model
is
named,
but
it's
a
community
effort
in
greenville.
F
We
are
in
the
process
of
doing
research
now
to
see.
We
could
not
duplicate
that
here
in
beaufort,
so
that
we
could
have
a
teach,
buford
or
come
work
for
beaufort
and
put
those
programs
in
place,
and
then
we
would
have
the
same
requirements
or
the
same
kind
of
support
that
the
state
has
in
place
to
surround
those
non-certified
teachers,
some
balance
and
backup
support,
while
they're
in
the
classroom
even
to
have
training
separate
and
apart
for
their
normal
classroom
duties.
F
So
we
are
we're
researching
that
right
now,
jill
and
her
acquisition
team
is
has
been
in
touch
with
the
state.
We've
already
done
our
application,
so
we're
well
on
the
way
of
trying
to
create
our
own
here
in
beaufort.
A
A
I
A
All
right,
so
it
seems
like
our
next
steps
is,
for
I
will
contact
lynn,
stokes
murray
tomorrow
and
ask
her
the
question
we
were
discussing
and
and
have
her
give
us
information
at
our
next
board
meeting,
and
then
we
can
go
from
there,
whether
we
want
to
bring
it
back
to
the
committee
or
how
we
want
to
proceed
anyway.
B
A
All
right
next
on
our
agenda
is
meeting
with
the
beaufort
delegation,
and
this
I
know
earl
campbell
has
brought
up
on
more
than
one
occasion
and
robin's
going
to
give
us
a
little
background.
B
I
received
an
email
from
their
liaison
cindy
maxie
today
and
she
is
first
she
wanted
to
know.
She
said
right
now.
Their
schedule
is
really
busy
and
I
told
her
and
she
her
question
was:
did
we
have
any
board
members
going
to
columbia
and
I
said
the
meeting.
What
we
won
is
with
the
full
delegation,
as
well
as
with
our
full
board,
and
we
have
had
those
meetings
in
the
past,
so
she
is
asking
for
specifics.
What
do
we
want
to
meet
about?
B
What
is
the
topics
so
that
she
can
help
facilitate
that
and
wes
newton
is
the
chair
of
of
the
delegation
so
that
that's
what
I
have
so
far.
A
And
can
I
ask
you
an
so
the
south
carolina
school
boards
association
does
have
the
program
where
board
members
can
go
visit,
their
respective
legislative
delegation
at
the
capitol
and
this
year
it's
I
believe,
it's
april
27th
right
and
how
many
board
members
are
signed
up
for
that
right
now
I
have
three
okay.
B
A
Right,
dr
wisniewski.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
just
going
to
suggest
because
I
know
they're
in
session
and
and
that's
a
very
difficult
time
to
get
them
nailed
down.
I
wonder
if
they
would
be
agreeable
to
doing
a
zoom
meeting.
I
think
that
that
might
be
more
easily
scheduled
than
an
in-person
meeting
just
wanted
to
make
that
suggestion.
A
Yeah
I
like
that
suggestion
rachel,
the
other
thing.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
who's.
J
J
Okay,
one
thing
I
think
we
need
to
talk
to
them
about.
I
know
the
governor
is
talking
about
funding
formula
again
now
they
do
this
every
several
years
and
we
still
have
the
same.
J
Area
we
was
20
years
ago
and
my
my
concern
is
why
can't
they
pass
a
a
it's
unfortunate
funded
for
me
that
they
can
stick
with
and
stop
trying
to
change
it
every
year.
My
my
other
thing
is
that
the
state
of
georgia
this
week
just
passed
it.
You
know
they
introduce
a
bill
to
bring
back
retired
teachers
and
they
will
be
able
to
draw
a
full
salary
plus
their
pension
and
the
other
thing
that
I
think
they
need
to
look
at.
A
A
So
the
I
think
those
are
good
suggestions
for
agenda
items.
We
could
also
have
the
once
the
meeting
was
confirmed
by
zoom.
We
could
have
the
chair
of
the
delegation.
Wes
newton
converse
with
our
chair
david
strivinger,
to
finalize
agenda
topics
and
really
the
when
we've
done
it
done
the
done
board
meeting
with,
for
example,
our
county
council.
Although
that's
not
been
the
full
board
and
the
full
council,
it's
been
a
you
know,
respected
members
from
each
whoever
is
requesting.
A
The
meeting
has
been
the
one
that
has
been
able
to
finalize
the
agenda
so
since
we're
requesting
it,
we
could
be
the
ones
to
finalize
it.
I
also
think
fiscal
autonomy
should
be
on
there.
I
know
we're
you
know
in
the
midst
of
working
on
that,
but
I
really
think
that
should
be
one
of
the
agenda
items.
C
So
I
agree,
I
think
those
are
the
two
most
pressing
that
we
have
especially
the
the
funding
one,
since
that's
going
through
right
now,.
D
D
A
So
we
can,
we
could
have
robin
re-contact
cindy
maxie
who's,
the
executive
assistant
to
the
delegation
and
say
that
this
was
discussed
at
legislative
committee
and
that
at
the
current
time
we
thought
it
would
be
easiest
for
all
involved,
especially
because
they're
well
into
their
legislative
session.
To
do
a
zoom
meeting
with
the
two
respective
bodies
and
suggested
topics
include,
and
you
want
to
just
list
those
four
which
are
funding
formula.
A
D
Are
we
certain
that
retired
teachers
can't
come
back?
I
I
thought
that
they
had
eased
up
on
some
of
those
roles,
so
I
think
we
need
to
find
out
that
first
is
alice
still
on
here.
She
might
yes.
F
Yes,
retired
teachers
can
come
back.
There
are
a
couple
of
rules
that
they
must
follow.
There
is
the
10
000
salary
cap
that
applied
to
any
retired
teacher
who's,
not
going
to
be
teaching
in
a
high
needs
school.
F
F
F
So
after
june,
first
we
can
offer
them
a
contract.
They
must
be
going
going
to
a
high
needs
school
in
a
high
needs.
Subject:
area
the
state
has
since
relaxed
that
a
little
bit.
So
almost
everything
is
high
needs
now,
so
then
we
must
complete
a
waiver
request
form
for
each
one
of
those
teachers
send
to
the
state
department.
F
Have
them
approve
it
so
that
they
can
be
exempt
from
that
waiver
requirement.
So
it's
a
process,
a
lot
of
hoops
versus
just
saying.
If
you're,
a
retired
teacher,
you
can
come
back
without
all
those
hassles,
so
they
are
able
to
come
back
only
a
few
teachers
like
pe
teachers.
We
can't
bring
back
if
they're
retired
because
that's
not
considered
a
high
need
area
elementary
teachers
not
consider
a
high
needs
area
based
on
the
state's
definition
of
high
needs.
F
So
there
are
some
kinks
in
that
system
that
will
keep
some
retired
teachers
out,
but
basically
retired
teachers
can
come
back.
D
F
Is
correct,
they
can
come
back.
The
state
must
approve
that
they're
in
a
high
need
school.
So
when
we
apply
for
the
waiver
we
say
alice.
Walton
is
coming
back
and
she's
going
to
be
at
x,
elementary
school,
which
is
a
high
poverty
school,
and
then
the
state
will
agree
to
give
relief
for
from
that
ten
thousand
dollar
salary
cap,
and
then
we
can
bring
them
back
at
their
full
salary.
D
Okay,
thank
you
so
so,
madam
chair,
I
think
that
that's
some
clarification
on
that
topic.
I
also
think
that
we
should
discuss
with
the
legislative
group
about
the
what
we
were
just
discussing
about
the
equal
footing
with
charter
schools
being
able
to
hire
25
percent
of
our
workforce
being
without
teacher
certifications.
I
think
we
should
add
that
also.
A
A
You
know
non
traditional
certified
teachers
for
the
classroom
or
something
like
that.
I.E,
retirees
and-
and
you
know,
non-certified
staff.
G
E
H
Okay,
I
was
gonna
say
that
I
definitely
support
the
the
the
the
motion
to
talk
about
bringing
the
retired
teachers
back,
because
they're
they're
definitely
needed
right
now
through
this
pandemic
and
what
we
have
going
on.
So
I
would
definitely
hope
that
we
could
definitely
put
that
in
there
and
also
due
to
some
of
the
reasons
of
that
mrs
walton
just
stated.
That's
what
I
was
going
to
say.
J
Yes,
the
program
that
I
was
talking
about
the
bill
for
georgia.
Those
teachers
can
come
back
with
no
penalties
and
get
their
full
salary
and
keep
this
drawing
a
retirement
period.
I
Thank
you,
and
this
may
not
be
something
to
ask
the
legislative
delegation,
but
at
an
operations
committee
meeting
the
clock
expressed
a
lot
of
frustration
with
osf
and
they
wanted
there's
like
we
need
to
talk
to
the
legislative
delegation
about
the
processes
etc,
because
it's
causing
delays
and
extra
expenses
for
our
referendum
project.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
you
want
to
bring
up
with
the
legislative
delegation,
but
the
clock
had
mentioned
that.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We
could
have
that
as.
E
A
Fifth,
thank
you.
That's
that
seems
good,
so
robin
you're
good
to
reach
back
out
to
cindy
maxie
and
suggest
zoom
and
suggest
these
five
topics.
B
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
want
to
make
sure
I
have
the
topics
funding
formula,
bringing
back
retired
teachers
or
are
we
going
to
list
it
under
recruitment,
recruiting
non-traditional
which
would
under
that
would
be
charter
equal
footing
with
charter
schools
and
then
retirees
with
full
pension
and
full
salary.
Then
we
have
fiscal
authority,
school
start
date
and
osf
issues.
A
All
right
any
further
discussion
on
this
topic,
the
meeting
that
we're
just
with
beaver
delegation
ingrid.
A
A
Alrighty
next
up
is
the
town
of
hilton
head
island
is
entertaining
a
ordinance
for
short-term
rentals,
and
this
was
a
request
by
rachel
for
tonight's
meeting.
So
I'll.
Let
her
discuss
this
or
start
the
conversation.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
have
a
very
cursory
understanding
presently
of
what
the
town
of
hilton
head
is
looking
to
do,
but,
based
on
what
I've
been
told,
is
that
they're
going
to
be
looking
to
implement
some
short-term
rental
ordinances
in
a
tiered
fashion,
so
the
first
tier
is
dealing
with
garbage
collection
and
noise
and
things
like
that
and
then
it's
my
understanding
that
the
next
tiers
will
be
focused
on
perhaps
restricting
the
amount
of
short-term
rentals
that
are
allowed
on
hilton
head.
C
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
early
still.
I
believe
they
had
a
meeting
last
tuesday
on
the
first
tier,
but
it's
something
that
I
wanted
to
bring
to
our
attention
now,
in
anticipation
of
it
potentially
being
on
a
future
agenda
for
the
town
of
hilton
head,
so
that
we
can
have
it
on
our
radar
and
and
kind
of
discuss
how
that
may
impact
us
being
that
a
lot
of
short-term
rentals
are
second
home
owners,
and
that
is
the
bulk
of
our
operating
revenue.
C
So
it
obviously
impacts
us
if
there's
a
restriction
placed
there
on
hilton
head.
It's
my
understanding
that
the
restriction
could,
you
know,
deter
people
from
purchasing
a
second
home
on
helenheim.
I
Yeah
I
mean-
I
know
a
little
bit
about
this,
and
I
know
that
that's
a
very
big
topic
right
now,
but
I
want
to
as
we're
putting
on
people's
radar.
What
I
want
people
to
understand
is
that
our
low-income
housing
developments
are
being
converted
into
short-term
rentals
by
out-of-state
investors,
so
the
oaks
which
had
it
actually
has
our
largest
percentage
of
low-income
students
of
all
the
apartment
complexes
at
81
of
our
students,
currently
reside
at
the
oaks,
they're
being
come,
they're
being
sold
and
now
put
on
airbnb
for
140
a
night.
I
It's
not
good
for
our
students,
so
I
don't
think
they're
trying
to
restrict
trade
or
make
it
prohibitively
expensive
or
difficult,
but
they're
just
trying
to
control
the
hilton
head
brand
control,
the
livability
and
sustainability
of
hilton
head
and,
to
be
honest,
make
sure
we
don't
end
up
want
to
becoming
one
of
those
coastal
communities
with
you
know
a
lot
of
low
rent
housing
for
for
tourists,
so
that's
kind
of
the
other
side
of
that
debate.
Thank
you.
I'm
gonna
put
my
hand
down.
A
So
it
it,
you
know
it's
still
in
the,
I
guess,
you'd
say
the
discussion
point
with
hilton
head.
You
know
how
they're
going
to
handle
these.
I
think
I
read
that
there
they
want
to
have
short-term
rental
performance
standards,
unquote,
looking
at
all
these,
all
these
things
in
terms
of
permitting
and
etc,
and
yes,
the
way
I
see
that
it
could
potentially
affect
us
is
what
you
just
mentioned.
Rachel
is
that
you
know
these.
A
These
short-term
rentals
would
be
taxed
at
at
six
percent
through
property
taxes
and
those
are,
are,
you
know,
contributing
to
our
operating
expenses
and
to
our.
E
A
G
Oh
yeah,
I
was
just
gonna
say
I
don't
think,
there's
anything
for
the
board
to
do
at
this
point
or
any
other
point.
I'm
not
sure
what
the
board
could
do
to
to
try
to
influence
the
town
of
hilton
head
on
on
how
they're
handling
short-term
rentals.
I
I'm
not
standing.
I
understand
the
revenue
side,
but
I
don't
see
that
there's
anything
we
could
actually
do.
I
think
it's
it's
way
beyond
our
purview
to
start
getting
involved
in
those
kinds
of
things.
Unless.
E
A
C
I
I
simply
think
that
it's
important
that
we
keep
an
eye
on
it,
because,
if
they're
talking
about
restricting
quantity
of
short-term
rentals,
I
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
our
numbers.
I
don't
know
if
tanya
has
those
or,
if
we're
able
to
get
those
from
you
know
the
treasurer's
office
or
elsewhere
of
I.
I
do
know
that
the
treasurer's
office
has
insight
into
you,
know
six
percent
on
hilton
head
specific.
They
can
look
at
the
tags
and
and
see
that
now
the
number
of
those
that
are
actually
short-term
rentals.
C
I
I
don't
know
if
we
have
insight
into
those
numbers,
but
I
would
like
to
do
if
we
are
going
to
try
to
have
any
influence.
I
think
it
should
be
backed
up
by
by
data
and
say
this
is
how
this
might
affect
us.
Otherwise,
I
agree
with
you
david.
We
don't
have
really
any
influence,
but
if
we
are
able
to
at
least
make
an
argument
or
a
case,
I
think
that's
our
our
duty.
There.
A
All
right,
any
other
members
like
to
comment.
A
All
right
so
we'll
I
guess,
keep
our
antennae
up
and
pay
attention
to
the
you
know
what's
going
on
regarding
this.
So
before
we
adjourn,
we
need
to
decide
on
the
next
meeting
time
and
I
said.
B
A
That
was
going
to
be
my
suggestion
as
well.
Does
that
work
for
the
committee
members
and
for
our
liaison
wendy.
A
E
A
Yeah,
for
me,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
5
30..
I
can
really
start
four
or
later,
but
I
know
rachel
you're
under
more
of
a
constraint
I
think
than
I
am,
and
angela
and
angela
both
of
you.
Yes,
what
works
for
you,
ladies?
A
Right
and
trisha
do
you
have
any
requests
or.
D
No
I'm
available
whatever
works
for
anybody
else.
A
Okay,
david.
B
A
Can
we
meet
so?
Can
we
meet
after
that
because
we
may
have
information
to
bring
back
yeah?
So
would
you
want
to
do
what
about
the
thursday
that
I
just
accidentally
mentioned.
B
That
would
be
the
day
for
the
ad
hoc
north
of
I
mean
south
of
the.
That
would
be
the
day
for
the
ad
hoc
bluffton.
If
the
ad
hoc
bluffton
group
is
going
to
be
meeting.
A
G
A
That
seems
so
that
would
be
monday,
so
it
wouldn't
be
the
night
before
colombia
for
some
of
us.
B
Change
that
would
be
that
would
we
would
have
just
had
an
agenda
setting
or
on
that
day,
on
the
25th
at
2
30.
We
have
ad
hoc
north
of
