Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
committee
good
afternoon.
Last
time
we
met
which
I
think
was
September.
I
gave
you
all
some
numbers
from
our
Register
of
Deeds
Department.
Today,
I
would
like
to
do
something
similar
from
the
assessor's
office,
one
of
our
division
departments
tis
the
season
so
legal
residence
applications.
As
of
last
Wednesday
November,
the
16th,
the
department
had
received
8143
legal
residence
applications.
That's
the
four
percent
request.
Applications.
E
A
E
So
uptick
from
this
time,
a
year
ago,
when
we
were
averaging
about
780
per
month-
and
if
you
have
any
curiosity
about
the
busiest
Office
of
the
assessor
in
the
county,
that
would
be
the
Bluffton
office,
the
in
the
last
week,
858
walk-ins
to
that
department,
seeking
assistance
and,
of
course,
the
big
reason
for
that
was
the
the
mailing
of
the
tax
bills
on
November
1st.
And
despite
the
efforts
to
ask
people
to
get
in
early,
they,
they
typically
wait
for
those
tax
bills
and
they
come
in
and
start
those
applications.
E
Miss
Sanders
has
done
a
great
job
with
her
staff
in
taking
the
approach
of
all
hands
on
deck.
She
knows
what's
on
the
horizon,
and
that
is
the
quadrennial
reassessment.
Next
year,
she's
been
making
Community
presentations
in
preparation
for
that
reassessment.
She
spoke
at
Stan
for
land
taxpayer,
empowerment
workshop
on
October
29th,
as
well
as
the
Hilton
Head
legal
staff
professionals,
meeting
on
November,
8th
and
the
Beaufort
city
council.
Just
last
Tuesday.
E
She
has
a
presentation
scheduled
with
Hilton
Head
Town
Council
after
the
first
of
the
year,
and
our
hope
is
that
the
other
municipalities
will
take
advantage
of
the
County's
offer
for
her
to
come
and
present
her
knowledge
about
the
reassessment
and
how
it
affects
property
owners
in
our
County.
And
if
there
are
any
groups
or
organizations
out
there.
That
would
like
for
her
to
come
and
and
speak
to
your
meeting
or
event.
E
F
F
F
E
F
C
Passman
good
I
believe
that
the
assessor's
office
by
December
of
this
year
will
have
the
reassessment
done
for
the
next
six
months.
They
will
be
tweaking
things
and
notices
of
reassessment
to
all
the
properties
that
have
been
reassessed
and
I.
Believe
it's
133,
000
properties
here
will
receive
that
notification
by
June
so
that
if
there
is
appeals
they
can
start
then
between
June
and
November,
when
the
next
tax
bills
would
go
out.
F
F
E

H
Getting
the
budget
going
I'll
address
that
in
a
little
bit,
we've
also
hired
new
grants
administrator
where
Shannon
Milroy
was
here,
it's
Ryan
Lewis.
He
he's
already
cut
his
teeth
with
the
state
Accommodations
Tax
Board.
They
had
a
couple
revisions
that
they
wanted
to
do
and
they're
planning
on
presenting
next
next
finance
committee
meeting
we
had
Bryson
Campbell.
H
H
H
Here's
kind
of
the
snapshot
of
the
budget
calendar.
We
had
a
meeting
with
with
the
assistant
County
administrators
last
week
and
kind
of
went
over
the
timeline,
we're
doing
it
a
little
bit
differently.
This
year
we
are
using
there's
an
employee
compensation
portion
in
clear
gov,
where
we
can
upload
and
run
certain
scenarios
where
you're
not
uploading
massive
spreadsheets.
It
should
make
us
make
it
easier
for
us
to
do
we're
planning
on
getting
all
that
kind
of
uploaded
and
in
we're
going
to
have
County
Council
sessions
in
January.
H
But
our
goal
is
to
have
the
last
reading
of
the
budget
in
the
first
County
council
meeting
in
June,
and
although
y'all's
calendar
has
not
been
set
yet,
but
when
it
is,
we
can
kind
of
lock.
These
dates
down
a
little
bit
better
kind
of
after
January
is
kind
of
up
in
the
air
a
little
bit,
but
but
we'll
lock
everything
down
a
little
bit
better
and
probably
get
more
detail.
H
H
A
I
I
might
move
your
laptop,
so
I
don't
mess
it
up,
just
don't
drop
it
good
afternoon,
as
Hayes
said,
I
won't
repeat
all
the
things
with
the
numbers,
but
I
wanted
to
go
over
a
couple
things.
As
we
said,
we'd
come
back
with
periodic
updates
of
where
we
are,
how
it's
going
or
how
are
we
in
relationship
to
deadlines
and
schedules,
and
we
have
through
to
the
end
of
2024
to
obligate
the
funds
obligation
is
the
difficult
portion.
I
Actually
it's
more
than
promising
it's
working
out
the
actual
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
plans
and
agreements,
and
so
we
are
through
almost
I
started
in
February.
So
we're
almost
to
10
months
11
months,
and
we
are
about
48
percent
obligated
at
this
point,
so
we're
ahead
of
schedule
there,
however,
that
doesn't
mean
we
slow
down.
We
think
that
that
getting
the
obligation
portion
is
important.
I
I
Some
of
the
unobligated
funds
are
awaiting
minor
property
issues,
as
we've
talked
about
investments
in
Parks
or
community
centers
or
other
issues.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
ownership
of
property,
as
we
know,
is
the
same
thing
with
Ferry
Terminals,
and
things
like
that.
So
there
should
be
some
chunk
expenditures.
The
some
of
the
obligated
portions
have
as
you've
seen
been
in
Workforce.
I
We
have
done
some
infrastructure
issues,
the
big
chunks
programs
that
will
follow
quickly.
That's
why
I
feel
confident
that
we
can
go
through
the
obligation
process,
as
we
are
waiting
for
federal
funds,
announcements
or
state
fund
announcements,
so
that
we
can
use
this
money
as
match
as
opposed
to
a
sole
funding
source
in
certain
areas.
So
Broadband
is
a
major
focus
of
the
funding
and
that's
awaiting
the
plan
of
what
the
state
will
do
so
that
we
don't
double,
spend
and
actually
may
go
a
long
way.
I
Patrick
has
been
Patrick
Hill's
been
very,
very
helpful
in
trying
to
leverage
those
funds,
water,
sewer
infrastructure.
As
we
know,
those
are
long-term
planning
processes
and
so
we're
working
with
Grant
Program.
It's
called
skip,
South
Carolina,
it's
a
water
and
sewer
grant
program
in
the
rural
areas,
the
health
centers.
As
we
know
we
want
to
have
those
throughout
the
county.
Those
are
not
included
in
obligated
funds
either
because
of
property
issues
and
Recreation
projects.
I
We
know
that
those
take
time
and
we
are
working
with
Chuck
and
his
staff
on
those
plans,
but
we
feel
confident
if
there's
any
questions
you
have,
but
that
number
37
the
big
round
numbers
a
little
bit
higher
than
that
we
are
hopefully
with
a
favorable
result
later
in
my
other
presentations,
we'll
get
to
almost
18
million
obligated
and
feel
like
we're
moving
forward
in
the
right
direction.
So,
if
you
have
any
questions.
C
I
We
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
a
good
question
I.
We
want
to
make
sure
for,
in
certain
cases,
School
District
May
own,
a
piece
of
property
that
we
maintain
the
building,
we're
trying
to
work
out
those
issues
not
in
a
purchase
situation,
but
a
transfer
potential
situation
to
clarify
the
plat
on
St
Helena,
for
example,
to
look
at
where
the
county,
where
the
community
building
might
go.
If
we're
going
to
put
it
attached
potentially
to
the
library
or
adjacent
to
a
park.
I
B
H
So
you
all
agree
to
do
the
PLT
and
I
kind
of
want
to
give
y'all
an
update
of
where
we
were
last
year
when
we
did
it
because
it
kind
of
went
through
and
I
want
to
kind
of
give
y'all
how
much
it
paid.
But
last
year
we
gave
allowed
employees
to
cash
in
up
to
60
hours
of
PLT
and
479
employees,
cashed
it
in
and
that's
roughly
40
to
45
percent.
Depending
on
what
time
of
year
it
is.
We
range
from
1200
to
1300
employees
depending
on
the
seasonality.
H
The
total
cost
of
the
PLT
was
775
000.
You
know
when
they
called
about
it
was
to
see
if
we
could
fund
it.
I
looked
at
our
current
progression
as
far
as
Personnel
Services
and
we
had
it
in
gap
positions.
So
we
could
afford
to
go
ahead
and
do
it
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
everybody
that
I've
supported
that
from
the
employees,
the
participating
employees.
It
means
a
lot
to
the
people
that
do
participate
in
this
program.
So
thank
you
all
for
that
next
slide
and
then.
H
A
H
Have
a
bond
payment
coming
up,
I'll,
let
her
know
and
and
and
they
know,
that
we
have
payroll
every
two
weeks
and
they
know
that
we
have.
What
would
our
AP
you
know?
Rip
is
running
a
million
to
two
million
dollars
every
week,
and
so
they
kind
of
they
have
those
expectations
and,
and
they
run
cash
flow
models
and
and.
J
H
H
We
she
doesn't
mind
calling
me
I,
don't
mind
calling
her,
but
if
we
have
something
unusual
like
this,
and
especially
in
the
the
window
that
we
had,
this
come
up
in
I'm
going
to
let
her
know
it's
coming,
because
because
it's
only
fair
to
her
and
her
staff,
but
you
know
I
need
to
make
sure
also
that
somebody's
there
to
make
that
deposit
on
Wednesday
afternoon.
If
that's
when,
because
we're
trying
to
get
it
paid,
we
HR
is
trying
to
get
it
to
us
by
noon
tomorrow.
H
B
H
A
H
Just
run
through
the
financial
highlights
really
quick:
I
have
a
tax
of
financial
statements
and
that
they're
they're
a
part
of
the
packet.
The
the
revenues
are
still
kind
of
low,
which
is
to
be
expected
this
year
this
time
of
year.
We
won't
really
see
anything
in
I'll,
have
a
different
report
to
you
in
February,
but
our
general
fund
expenditures
overall,
are
are
lower
than
we
expected,
which
allows
for
PLT
payouts
and
stuff,
like
that.
H
We've
been
using
the
general
fund
and
and
using
the
general
fund
fund
balance
for
Capital
expenditures,
and
we
have
a
capital
Improvement
fund,
which
is
still
technically
part
of
the
general
fund.
But
it's
not
it's
fun
1040,
instead
of
one
thousand
and
we're
getting
them
there.
So
we
can
get
these
projects
that
take
more
than
a
year
to
get
done
done
and-
and
it
seems
like
it's
hard
with
the
purchasing
process
and
the
vetting
process
and
the
Engineering
Process
to
get
something
done
within
a
year.
H
But
we
we've
had
some
big
things
that
have
gone
on.
We
purchased
several
properties
from
thcl
totaling,
730
thousand
dollars.
We
proceeded
with
a
condemnation
of
Helms
and
William
Melrose
Landing
for
a
total
of
4.9
million
dollars.
Now
we
closed
the
Myrtle
Park
fund
and
distributed
the
funds
as
instructed
by
y'all.
Earlier
we
had
that
ordinance
and
went
through
all
that
go
to
the
next
page.
The
Beaufort
Executive
Airport
has
operating
income
of
four
forty
four
thousand
dollars
to
date,
which
is
great.
H
The
Hilton
Head
Island
airport
has
operating
income
right
now
of
about
568
thousand
dollars.
Solid
race
in
a
recycling
fund
has
managed
to
keep
its
expenditures.
15.26
percent
lower
than
budgeted
budget
to
year
to
date
amounts
and
the
stormwater
utility
has
done
the
same,
keeping
theirs
at
19.22
percent,
lower
than
budgeted
year-to-date
amounts.
H
K
H
B
M
You,
chairman,
council
members,
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
with
you:
I,
have
a
presentation
and
am
I
able
to
move
okay,
so
you
can
move
through
this
I'll.
Try
I
have
a
lot
of
information.
I
know
you
gave
me
15
minutes,
I'll
try
to
get
through
it
quickly.
I
expect
a
lot
of
the
slides,
will
beg
questions
and
I'd
be
happy
to
meet
with
council
members
off
offline
to
answer
it
or
answer
it
here
today.
M
The
idea
is
to
let
you
know
what
we've
been
thinking
about
on
product
and
why
we've
arrived
at
the
thoughts
we
have.
No
final
decisions
are
made.
Obviously
you
provide
the
guidance
as
well
as
staff
and
we've
been
working
or
liaison
with
Hank
and
Mark.
Davis
and
Rob
Merchant
have
helped
some
of
our
thinking
here,
as
we
go
through
different
projects,
so
really
just
to
get
guidance,
so
I'll
just
go
through
it
next
slide.
M
This
is
the
agenda
item.
Basically,
you
know
with
the
green
text
that
was
just
approved
by
voters
with
all
of
the
pressure
on
Housing,
Development,
I,
think
and
I
hope.
You
agree
that
a
balanced
Community
Workforce
housing
that
you
need
to
have
balance,
and
so,
if
we're
not
purposeful
on
reserving
some
space
for
future
generations
to
make
a
living,
we'll
have
just
more
traffic
next
slide.
M
We
our
theme,
you
know
that
resonates
with
investors,
people
bringing
good
paying
jobs
to
Beaufort
County
are
the
environment,
the
skilled
and
ready
Workforce.
We
know
that's
challenging,
but
we
still
think
we
have
an
Ace
and
a
hole
compared
to
other
communities
in
the
United
States,
with
some
2
000
transitioning
Marines
in
our
County
each
year,
and
then
I
give
Charlie
Stone
the
bulk
of
the
credit
here,
but
unparalleled
support.
M
M
How
we
go
about
generating
projects
we've
had
some
438
leads
in
our
five
years,
we're
just
over
five
years
in
existence
and
and
our
work
plan.
Pretty
much
exists
of
this
marketing.
Networking
product
development
and
we've
been
doing
piecing
that,
together
for
five
years,
Workforce
branding
and
culture
working
closely
with
the
planners
and
the
administrators
in
each
jurisdiction,
and
then
a
lot
of
partnership
and
teamwork.
M
I
had
shown
you
this
at
your
strategic
session
last
year,
I'll
just
bring
it
up
again,
a
company
with
operations
in
New,
Jersey
and
California
realizes
they
need
a
distribution
in
the
Southeast
U.S.
They
find
this
property
that
comes
available
on
the
30th
of
January
2021
and
by
February
8th,
it's
under
contract,
and
this
company
is
looking
at
the
encouragement
of
Jared
fralick.
There
are
some
issues
with
the
road
out
there
and
they're
looking
at
developing
the
adjacent
10.
M
We
got
a
good
system
working
out
here
with
the
head
knot,
so
we're
doing
real
well
with
the
advancing
of
the
slide
I
better,
not
nod
my
head.
Inadvertently,
though
we
have,
we
keep
score,
and
most
of
you
have
seen
this,
but
we're
nearing
1300
jobs
that
are
averaging
45,
just
under
46
000,
and
have
projects
with
a
projected
investment
of
quarter
billion
dollars.
M
So
we
we
show
this
to
everyone,
try
to
be
real,
transparent
about
what
we're
doing
and
what
the
results
are
and
then
I
know
some
jurisdictions
take
pride
in
the
fact
that
we've
gotten
incentives
coming
back
in
from
the
Department
of
Commerce
to
help
Beaufort
County
businesses
grow
I.
This
is
where
there'll
be
questions,
but
I
won't
get
bogged
down
in
this
because
I'm
going
to
honor
my
15
minutes,
but
it
takes
a
lot
of
leads
to
get
to
the
53
completed
projects.
M
So
this
is
some
436
leads
and
they
stay
in
various
States
and
they
are
dropped
and
we
do
look
at
why
they're
dropped
oftentimes,
it's
outside
of
our
control
company
decides
not
to
invest,
decides
to
invest
where
they
already
are.
A
lot
of
questions
could
be
asked
here.
Next
one
and
these
I
won't
dwell
on,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
times.
I've
I've
picked
up
on
the
fact.
Well,
you
know:
Beaufort
County
is
the
largest
investor
in
the
Beaufort
County
Economic
Development
Corporation.
M
Where
are
the
projects
going
so
I've
graphed,
where
the
projects
are
going
in
terms
of
community
blf,
being
Bluffton
Hilton,
Head,
Island,
Beaufort,
Port,
Royal
and
Beaufort
County
BC
next
slide.
I've
also
provided
an
analyst,
an
analysis
of
where
the
Investments
are
going,
the
bulk
of
the
Investments
Beaufort
County
and
then
the
other
jurisdictions
where
the
jobs
are
going.
We've
graphed
this,
so
some
1300
jobs
and
you
can
see
we've
graphed
that
and
I
can
provide
you.
The
detail
on
that
next
slide
retain
jobs.
M
You
can
see
here
like
where
Port
Royal
was
looking
like
a
tiny
little
sliver.
They
did
well
with
retaining
some
jobs.
That's
largely
Stone
Works,
going
from
Hilton
Head
to
Port
Royal
next
slide:
The
Landing
Pad
this
morning,
I
met
with
a
company
over
at
the
don
Ryan
Center
for
Innovation,
an
Israeli
company.
That's
looking
at
The
Landing
Pad.
This
is
space
where
companies
exploring
Southeast
U.S
we're
inviting
them
to
come
here
and
SC
South
Carolina
Department
of
Commerce
is
doing
the
same,
inviting
these
companies
to
come
to
our
landing
pads.
M
So
we
had
the
Japanese
firm
SkyDrive
come
here.
This
morning
we
met
with
a
company
with
out
of
Israel
looking
to
establish
operations
in
Beaufort
County
as
well,
so
next
slide
and
SkyDrive
is
a
flying
drone.
Interestingly
enough,
as
a
result
of
the
marketing
or
or
free
ink,
we
got
on
this
company.
We
have
two
other
Jerome
companies
looking
at
Beaufort
County,
and
these
are
passenger
carrying
drones
and
the
other
company
that
we're
talking
to
again
at
another
company
out
of
Israel
has
drones
that
provide
security.
M
So
on
demand
you
can
you
can
call
upon
that.
Drone
I
can
tell
you
more
about
that,
but
next
slide
and
we're
going
to
get
to
product
right.
That's
what
you're
expecting
to
hear
about
I
I
think,
what's
good
about
what
we've
done
and
basically
succinctly
in
five
years
we
have
not
upset
the
environmentalist
and
we
haven't
upset
the
people,
not
in
my
backyard,
and
we
like
to
stay
on
that
side
of
the
Ledger.
M
We
work
really
closely
with
the
Environmental
Group
and
on
some
of
the
products
that
we'll
be
showing
you
and
even
some
of
the
dollar
amounts.
We
expect
that
Rural
and
critical
lands,
or
this
new
organization
that
will
handle
the
proceeds
of
the
penny
tax
will
work
with
us
to
preserve
land
in
areas
where
we're
actually
creating
investment
opportunities
for
businesses
and
the
the
probably
the
third
bullet
there
is
is
that
we
try
to
work
really
closely
with
the
Marine
Corps
another
group
we
do
not
want
to
tick
off,
but
oftentimes.
M
M
So
in
terms
of
the
quality
of
the
project,
we're
hoping
that
we'll
be
able
to
show
you
and
look
at
the
clawback
provisions
of
the
contract
if
the
jobs
aren't
what
we
expect,
but
it
is
90
percent
lease
which,
along
with
that
mirror
case,
shows
that
if
we
have
it,
it
moves
pretty
quickly
next
slide
and
I'm
guessing
you're,
advancing
the
slide
right,
I'm,
making
eye
contact
with
the
right
person.
Okay,
good
you're,
doing
great!
Thank
you,
Buck
Walter
Place!
M
M
Next
slide,
the
Magnus
SPEC
Building
is
fully
leased
and
we'll
get
into
it
in
the
next
agenda
item.
But
the
first
tenant
would
like
to
build
the
221
000
square
foot,
building
down
the
road
from
this
site,
and
we
have
signed
a
development
agreement
for
the
construction
of
a
second
SPEC
Building.
That's
expected
to
be
online
72
000
square
feet
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2023.
next
slide.
M
This
is
a
pad
site.
Commerce
gave
us
a
grant
of
200
000
dollars
to
build
the
pad
there.
We
have
an
Albany
company,
a
Cosmetics
company,
looking
to
go
under
contract
on
this
parcel.
This
is
in
the
Commerce
Park
next
next
site,
our
next
one.
Now
we're
going
to
get
fancy
here,
we're
going
to
press
we'll
go
now
once
this
will
show
you
the
Commerce
Park
and
then
we'll
click
it
one
more
time,
and
it's
going
to
show
you
that
the
first
star
shows
you
where
the
SPEC
Building
is
going.
M
One
of
the
issues
we
have
with
product
and
people
say:
okay
well,
Beaufort
Commerce
Park
has
been
our
main
source
of
product.
This
is
a
primitive
outline
of
where
most
of
the
parcels
are
located
and
most
of
them
have
some
prohibitions
due
to
the
Aku
Zone,
either
accident
prevention
or
or
noise
considerations.
What
we
do
wanting
to
be
in
the
good
stead
of
the
U.S
Marine
Corps
is
anytime.
We
have
any
Prospect.
Looking
in
that
area,
we
have
the
Marine.
M
We
provide
a
complete
transparency
to
the
Marine
Corps,
to
evaluate
the
nature
of
the
business,
the
materials
that
they
would
have
there
if
they
would
be
explosive
or
concerns
about
the
number
of
people
in
the
particular
facility.
So
with
what
we
have
left
in
the
Beaufort,
Commerce
Park
I
think
it
would.
M
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
juggling
next
thing
as
we
look
at
Economic,
Development
and
I.
Think
the
council's
seen
this
before
environments
number
one
in
this
County
for
sure
education,
Economic,
Development,
Workforce,
skill,
development
and
Workforce
housing
are
key
and
then
Transportation.
So
with
everything
you
have
going
on.
We
don't
expect
to
be
the
only
spoke
on
a
wheel
there.
There
are
even
more
important
spokes
than
economic
development,
but
they
feed
Economic
Development.
So
we'll
be
happy
to
support
those
things.
M
As
we
look
at
sites,
we
look
at
oftentimes
a
year
about
Transit
Orient
development
or
infrastructure,
Orient
development,
I'm,
a
proponent
of
infrastructure
development
and
where
all
of
that
comes
together
right
in
the
middle
is
where
we
want
to.
We
want
to
pick
our
sites,
and
so
that's
that's
what
we've
been
doing
as
we
evaluate
sites
next
slide.
We
look
at
Short
Term,
something
that
could
be
accomplished
in
24
months,
medium
term,
48
months,
four
years
and
long
term
might
be
five
to
seven
years
next
slide.
M
One
study
on
the
libeko
site
and
we're
working
with
Mark
Davis
to
get
the
phase
two
estimate
and
staff
is,
is
kind
of
running
that,
but
that's
moving
forward.
We
just
have
numbers
in
there
as
as
placeholders.
All
of
these
need
to
be
tightened
up
as
we
get
more
serious,
but
libiko
is
one
that
we
are
working
with.
Staff,
fun
and
I
would
say:
that's
that's
the
the
project,
the
product,
that's
on
the
on
the
front
burner.
M
We
can
Market
that
site
in
a
way
that
sits
well
with
the
residents,
certainly
with
councilman
Dawson
and
the
environmental
groups
next
slide,
and
this
is
our
medium
medium
or
no
short-term
projects,
and
some
of
these
have
numbers
attached
to
them,
but
just
we'll
jump
down
to
the
bottom
Buckwalter
Crossroads.
This
is
property
owned
by
Tom
Zinn,
we're
working
with
him
to
get
that
certified
through
the
Palmetto
sites.
I
I,
don't
think
that
we'd
have
any
real
Budget
on
that
at
this
point.
M
But
if
we
were
to
control
it
as
product,
there
might
be
an
infrastructure
spend
out
there
in
order
to
lock
the
use
as
something
that
the
County
Council
would
like
to
see
on.
Let's
see
going
back
up
to
the
top
at
Hilton
Head
airport,
we
have
a
group
interested
in
investing
about
18
million
dollars
out
there,
creating
46
jobs
and
we're
working
with
John
rembolt
on
that
in
order
to
acquire
property
from
Hilton
Head
and
then
turn
it
over
to
the
county.
M
It
might
be
our
hope
week
to
see
if
we
can
get
90
percent
of
that
acquisition
funded
by
the
FAA,
but
John
remboltz.
On
top
of
that
and
we'll
work
with
him
on
that
yemassi
Chilton
properties,
it's
850
Acres
out
there.
Just
so
you
know,
I
have
a
budget
number
in
there,
but
I
have
a
a
group
out
of
Britain.
M
That
is,
would
look
at
the
site
for
construction
or
or
production,
making
electric
vehicles
electric
trucks
at
that
site
and
they,
like
the
rail
access
I,
also
have
a
local
company
looking
at
making
rail
cars
out
there
and
they
like
the
rail
access
to
that
site.
There
might
be
a
way
we
can
do
this
project
without
having
to
involve
County
funds,
just
working
with
the
owner
of
the
property.
Now
and
getting
these
end
users
and-
and
so
there
might
be
a
limited,
spend
out
there.
M
The
price
you
see
up,
there
is
taking
it
down
a
third
at
a
time,
as
you
may
have
recalled,
or
maybe
don't
recall,
but
a
predecessor,
economic
Development
Group
tried
to
move
this
project
forward
and
I'm
proudly
running
along,
aren't
I
I'm
going
to
zip
it
pretty
quickly,
but
they
try
to
take
the
whole
site
down
at
once
and
we
think
we
can
take
it
down
in
one-third
tranches
and
if
a
company
wants
more
than
they
can
bite
that
off,
we
think
being
in
conversations
with
the
owner
of
the
property.
Tease
us
up
quite
well.
M
If
an
end
user
comes
along
and
I
might
be
visiting
with
this
British
company
up
in
Toronto
next
Thursday
or
Friday
to
see
what
their
interest
is.
But
there
are,
there
are
a
lot
of
opportunities
and
then
I'll
go
to
the
I.
Think
it's
my
last
slide
or
second
to
last
slide
long
term
and
obviously
a
lot
of
conversations
with
the
County
Council
staff
and
the
town
of
Bluffton.
But
one
of
the.
A
M
Up
there
we're
working
with
the
chamber
on
reuse
of
the
naval
hospital
and
one
that's
been
out
there
I
think
it's
a
non-starter,
but
some
land,
just
south
of
the
whale
branch
that
was
proposed
and
next
slide
are
properties
that
we've
looked
at
over
time.
That
we
did
not
pursue
and
next
slide
would
probably
be
the
the
price.
If
you
did
everything
I'm,
not
suggesting
you
do
everything,
but
it
just
shows
you
what
we
have
in
these
different
buckets.
M
M
J
J
E
A
G
M
K
M
Well,
Charlie
and
I
feel
blessed
to
do
it
here
and
we
like
to
think
that
things
we
do
in
the
various
municipalities
benefit
all
all
Beaufort
County
residents,
but,
as
somebody
grew
up
in
a
family
of
seven
kids,
sometimes
on
Christmas
Day
somebody's
looking
at
somebody
else's
pile
and
wondering
if
they
were
treated
fairly
by
Santa
Claus.
So
we
we
do
try
to
provide
some
analysis.
B
M
M
G
B
M
L
Well,
a
couple
things
again:
you
all
have
four
new
council
members
coming
on
agenda.
We
we
went
through
this
several
months
ago
with
the
Myrtle
Park
issue,
whereby
you
know,
committee
gave
some
indication
of
something
I'm,
not
sure
where
the
city
of
Beaufort
is
on
this.
They
should
at
least
be
approached
about
doing
the
same
thing
and
taking
some
stance
on
the
issue
about
selling
it.
For
that
price.
L
We
should
go
out
and
Market
the
property
for
the
terms
that
we
think
is
fair
and
then,
when
we
put
that
deal
together,
we
bring
that
to
you
all
for
you
all
to
make
a
decision
on
whether
or
not
you
accept
the
terms
of
that
agreement
and
with
regards
to
the
job
site,
Development
Fund.
If
this
property
is
sold-
and
we
put
our
proceeds
into
that-
then
we're
going
to
be
another
800
and
something
thousand
dollars
based
on
what
you
all
just
did
into
the
job
site,
Development,
Fund
and
I'm,
not
sure
in
Hayes.
L
If
you
could
get
for
me
the
amount
of
money
that
each
municipality
is
putting
into
the
same
job,
Development
Fund,
because
the
recurring
theme,
as
you
all
know,
from
many
people
that
serve
on
the
economic
development
board,
is
that
this
is
a
Cooperative
effort
of
all
the
municipalities
and
it's
a
model.
That's
established
for
The
Economic,
Development
Corporation
for
everybody
to
participate
equally,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
and
I
want
to
encourage
the
County
Council.
N
Would
piggyback
on
what
Eric
is
saying?
First
of
all,
if
we're
talking
price,
it
probably
lends
itself
to
Executive
session,
not
signal
to
the
world
we're
home
to
sell
for,
but
more
importantly,
I
thought
for
some
time.
Not
only
are
we
putting
the
bulk
of
the
money
into
the
economic
development,
but
we
have
very
little
representation
at
the
board
level
and
I.
Think
that's
something
you
come
back
with
a
new
Council.
J
Not
only
jobs
would
be
okay,
but
to
increase
our
tax
base,
getting
it
away
from
residential
tax
rates
to
more
of
a
commercial
tax
base
and
I
want
to
see
them
move
forward,
and
if
every
time
we
talk
about
funding
now
there
is
a
difference
of
an
opinion.
We
need
to
really
settle
down
on
that,
and
you
know
we
we're
supposed
to
have
a
presentation
every
year
from
The
Economic,
Development
Corporation,
as
well
as
Southern,
Carolina
I.
Think
we
need
to
do
that,
and
so
we
all
can
be
on
the
same
page
moving
forward.
J
M
If
I,
if
I
could
just
say
the
the
the
math
that
the
administrator
just
used
to
say
that
we're
actually
increasing
our
expenditure
to
800
000,
it's
not
true
using
the
same
logic
you
use
for
Myrtle
Park,
the
208
000
was
spent
in
2019.
we're
asking
that
it
be
realized
back
into
the
site
and
job
fund.
So
we're
actually
going
to
be
replenishing
your
own
funds
back
into
the
fund,
so
that
would
that
would
be
the
point
there.
M
The
as
far
as
discussing
price
points
and
I
I'm,
all
in
favor
of
transparency
and
speed.
I
would
imagine
most
of
you
went
into
government
for
in
order
to
increase
the
efficiency
when
it
comes
to
government.
So
let
me
explain
the
conversations
I've
had
with
the
city
of
Beaufort
first
piece
of
land.
We
we
let
go
at
twenty
thousand,
an
acre,
even
though
the
appraisal
said
it's
worth.
30.
they're
incentivizing
the
deal
per
acre.
M
M
So
if,
if
it's
to
and
and
something
we've
had
on,
our
presentation
since
I
got
here
was
to
improve
our
brand
by
being
simple
Swift
and
certain.
When
people
ask
a
question,
you
give
them
an
answer,
is
it
the
perfect
answer?
Probably
not
could
somebody
criticize
it
they
probably
could?
But
if
you
have
the
conversation
and
open-
and
somebody
has
the
opportunity
to
say
that
makes
sense,
we
bought
it
for
this,
we
didn't
buy
it
to
make
money,
we
bought
it
to
Foster
investment.
M
M
Every
time
I
appear
here,
it's
time,
I'm
not
spending
out
there
selling
what
you've
hired
me
to
do,
which
is
economic
development
and
investment
opportunities
that
don't
alienate
our
residents,
don't
alienate
people
care
about
the
environment
and
don't
alienate
the
U.S
Marine
Corps
and
add
Grand
list
and
quality
jobs
for
residents.
That's
what
I'm
trying
to
do
if
I'm
not
doing
what
you
expect
me
to
do.
Please
let
me
know
thank
you.
B
B
We
need
to
make
sure
everyone
knows
where
money
is
being
spent
where
it's
coming
from,
where
it's
going,
and
especially
when
it
comes
to
some
of
the
economic
development
things
that
we're
doing
and
we're
in
a
unique
situation
right
now
where
we
do
have
four
new
Council
people
coming
on.
So
it's
not
something
we
want
to
make
a
decision
now.
That
would
would
be
affected
by
those
four
Council
people
that
have
to
live
by
our
decisions.
B
We've
seen
that
happen
before
so
I
guess
at
this
point,
Mr
Williams,
is
something
that
we
can
add
to
our
next
finance
committee
meeting
and
and
look
at
this
little
closer.
Is
that
something
Eric
that
you
think
that
would
be
the
best,
the
most
appropriate
unless
there's
another
committee
meeting,
such
as
executive
committee,
that
they
can
handle
it
sooner
otherwise,
I
think
would
bring
it
back
up
with
some
type
of.
P
We've
included
the
town
of
Bluffton,
Charleston,
County
and
I
believe
Dorchester
County
as
a
as
a
comparison
and
realizing
it's
not
a
straight
line
item
comparison,
because
every
Community
has
a
different
way
that
they
calculate
fees
as
you'll
find
as
you
go
through.
This
I
just
wanted
to
start
out
by
saying
that
we,
these
fees,
that
our
department
currently
charges
were
established
in
the
spring
of
1999,
and
so
we're
a
lot
has
happened
since
that
time.
P
If
you
look
at
prices,
you
know,
there's
been
quite
an
increase
as
far
as
inflation,
but
in
addition
we've
adopted,
that
was
in
the
adoption
of
our
zoning
and
development
standards.
Ordinance.
Since
that
time,
we've
adopted
a
Community
Development
code.
There
are
quite
a
number
of
additional
requirements
when
we
go
through
a
permit
that
we
go.
You
know
this
new
code
requires
of
us
and
every
time
we
amend
it,
or
you
know
and
I
think
that
all
of
this
is
good
for
the
community,
but
it
definitely
increases
the
amount
of
work
that
hap.
P
You
know
that
we
need
to
administer
the
code
as
we
go
through
this
list
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
item
by
item,
but
I'm
certainly
willing
to
answer
any
questions.
One
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
highlight
is
that
the
simplest
permits
and
applications
that
people
seek
in
our
department
we're
really
looking
at
a
nominal
increase.
You
know
basically
following
cost
of
living.
So
when
we
look
at
such
things
as
a
minor
subdivision,
the
zoning
permit
a
family
compounds.
P
P
Another
thing
I
want
to
bring
your
attention
and
I
know
that
there's
this
is
Beaufort
County
and
we
love
our
trees
and
every
time
trees
come
down.
I
know
that
all
of
you
hear
about
it
right
now,
we're
working.
You
know
the
cost
to
mitigate.
If
somebody
is
developing
a
parcel
and
they
can't
work
around
a
specimen
tree
and
they
remove
that
tree,
we
basically
require
them
either
to
plant
back
on
the
lot
or
to
pay
into
the
tree
fund,
and
you
know
the
way
our
structure,
our
fees,
are
currently
structured.
P
That's
a
bit
of
a
bargain.
As
far
as
paying
into
the
tree
fund.
It
does
not
reflect
the
cost
of
planting
a
you
know
a
tree
on
the
site,
and
so
things
like
that
we
wanted
to
address
adjust.
You
know
to
basically
not
only
to
be
fair
and
reflect
the
actual
cost
of
things,
but
we
think
that
it
also
I
think
policy
wise
might
lead
to
more
people,
reconsidering
whether
it's
worth
it
to
remove
a
tree
or
you
know
not
to
plant
back
on
site.
So
I
wanted
to
draw
that
to
your
attention.
P
P
You
know,
and
so
you
know
and
then
I
think
the
final
page.
Here
we
added
this.
Some
of
these
fees
may
seem
you
know
shocking
at
first,
but
you
know
development
agreements,
and
this
is
something
the
amount
of
work
necessary
when,
when
somebody
is
doing
a
development
agreement
on
our
end
to
make
sure
that
we
are
entering
into
an
agreement
that
we
could
live
in
live
with
during
the
term
of
the
agreement,
it
requires
a
lot
of
work
on
our
part.
P
You
know,
and
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
if
somebody
is
seeking
that
route,
that
the
cost
of
us
making
sure
that
we
are,
you
know
doing
the
best
looking
over
the
document
making
sure
that
we're
comfortable
with
it.
You
know
that
these
fees
reflect
that
cost,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
recommended
these
are
all
new
fees
for
development
agreements.
Currently,
there's
no
fee
structure
in
place
to
reflect
that.
P
One
final
note,
and
none
of
these
go
into
the
Planning
and
Zoning
departments,
all
the
fees
that
are
collected
go
into
the
general
fund.
So
regardless
you
know,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
amount
of
work
that
occurs
in
our
Department,
based
on
the
the
workload
the
permits,
the
zoning
amendments,
all
the
things
that
come
into
our
office.
B
C
B
J
P
P
P
B
N
P
B
L
B
I
Yes,
sir
hello
again
yeah,
it
has
requested
to
do
these
together.
I'll
describe
them
separately,
though
number
11
is
the
second
part
I
made
I
think
it
was
in
two
months
ago
for
the
good
neighbor
fund,
where
we
request
this:
the
cities,
the
municipalities,
to
make
their
requests
for
their
allocation
I've
attached
those
letters
they
all
fit
with
our
joint
planning
and
arpa
initiatives.
If
you
have
any
question
on
those,
I
can
elaborate,
but
Beaufort
is
going
to
further
affordable
housing.
I
I
Secondly,
it's
actually
very
exciting
I
know
I'm,
not
here
to
judge
anybody
else's
presentation,
but
this
is
exciting,
because
our
nursing
initiative
that
we
started
first
has
really
grown
and
the
second
phase
of
that
we're
talking
about
building
a
pipeline
for
the
medical
field
and
nurses.
So
we
started
with
filling
that
pipeline.
So
we
worked
with
the
high
school.
We
worked
with
the
colleges
we
worked
with
the
hospital.
So
that's
when
we
launched
what
was
called
the
path
program,
people
achieving
their
highest
I
can't
take
credit
for
that.
That's
a
Russell
maxley
program.
I
That's
why
he's
here
to
support
he's
been
a
good
driving
force
behind
this
thinking
holistically
about
the
medical
community.
People
are
trained
for
all
facilities,
even
though
before
Memorial
is,
is
the
most
bought
in
in
the
process.
However,
this
has
then
fostered
a
need
for
capacity.
We
can
get
more
in
the
pipeline,
but
now
we
need
to
be
able
to
educate
and
train
and
not
have
multiple
entities
build
multiple
facilities
in
which
to
train
them.
I
So,
as
I
wrote
into
the
agenda
item
summary
I
did
forget
a
word,
so
excuse
my
grammar
trying
to
get
it
in
in
time,
but
it's
Innovative,
but
we're
not
the
first
there's
an
example
in
Lexington,
where
a
hospital
and
the
University
of
South
Carolina
system
have
come
together
to
have
a
joint
facility
to
greatly
increase
the
capacity,
but
it's
not
just
the
capacity
and
the
number
of
students
and
nurses.
It's
also
the
quality
of
the
training,
the
modern
nature
of
the
facility
in
which
they're
trained
I
attached
a
floor
plan.
I
I
This
will
then
create
one-way,
mirror
situations
with
the
best
possible
simulations
debrief
rooms
and
classrooms,
but,
additionally,
it
creates
capacity
for
testing
and
certification.
There
is
not
a
local
testing
and
certification
Center.
In
fact,
people
have
to
travel
great
distances
to
do
so
so
in
this
facility,
not
only
where
our
people
not
have
to
expend
resources
to
go
somewhere,
it'll
actually
attract
people
to
the
area.
This
is
again
would
be
located
at
Before,
Memorial
Hospital
in
their
space,
but
City
County,
uscb
and
the
hospital
will
be
contributing
to
this
renovation.
B
I
L
Right
I
just
like
to
say
one
thing
a
few
months
ago,
several
months
ago,
as
you
all
are
aware,
we
were
at
odds
on
certain
issues
with
Beaufort
Memorial
Hospital
I
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity,
since
he's
here
today
to
thank
Mr
Baxley
for
the
job
that
he
did
working
with
me
to
navigate
that
process.
To
help
put
that
issue
behind
us
and
restore
a
positive
working
relationship
between
the
county
and
Beaufort
Memorial
Hospital
they're,
great
Partners
Russell
has
my
high
esteem
and
deep
professional
respect
and
I
enjoy
working
with
him.
I
C
Q
C
C
B
B
Q
Yes,
sir
good
afternoon,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
committee,
we
are
asking
for
this
body's
approval
of
some
funding
from
the
geoit
technology
infrastructure,
Bond,
to
fund
a
new
applicant
tracking
system.
Basically-
and
it's
much
much
more
than
that,
this
will
replace
our
Legacy
system.
That's
attached
to
munis.
It
will
give
us
an
enhanced
user
experience.
It'll
give
us
greater
efficiency
more
capability
than
we
have
with
our
current
system.
Our
responsiveness
will
be
better
between
applicant
and
organization.
Our
responsiveness
will
be
better
between
human
resources.
Q
Department
and
hiring
manager
should
speed
the
process
they're
already
over
a
dozen
local
governments
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina
that
have
this
product
and
are
using
this
product
and
as
best
we
could
tell
they're
very
satisfied
with
this
product,
and
so
we're
asking
for
your
support
in
replacing
what
we
currently
have,
which
is
need
the
user
friendly
nor
efficient
with
this,
and
it
should
help
with
our
recruiting
efforts
as
well.
It
gives
us
expanded,
recruiting
capability.
B
L
C
B
L
We're
gonna
we're
looking
for
you
all
to
make
a
recommendation
to
council.
We
can
do
the
more
detailed
presentation
at
Council.
We
just
want
to
make
sure
you
all
want
us
to
pursue
this
at
the
staff
level
right
now
to
put
the
details
together
on
this
particular
deal,
I
think
councilmember
Lawson
you're,
already
fairly
aware
of
the
issue.
D
D
So
this
is
mullet?
Street
I
mean
all
joy,
Landing
right
here
with
the
boat
ramp,
as
you
can
see
the
highlighted
Parcels
here
it
is
one
parcel
that
is
point
approximately
0.4
Acres
the
purchase
of
the
property
as
it
is
currently
listed,
and
it
is
listed
with
a
real
estate
agent
at
this
time.
So
it
is
on
the
public
market.
D
The
house
you
see
right
here
is
actually
part
of
the
purchase,
so
the
purchase
or
the
listing
together
are
the
two
yellow
Parcels
that
you
see
here
as
well.
As
this
other
highlighted
parcel
here,
they
are
being
sold
together.
The
family
does
not
wish
to
have
the
parcels
taken
apart
for
reasons
of
the
County
Purchasing
it,
so
the
county
would
be
buying
it
all
together.
D
J
D
A
D
D
D
That
is
including
the
house.
It
would
be
up
to
Council
and
our
administrator
to
determine
what
use
of
the
house
we
would
have
or
what
we'd
like
to
do
with
the
home.
But
the
purchaser
is
fully
aware
of
our
desire
to
expand
the
parking
of
all
joy
boat,
landing
and
the
need
for
it.
This
family
has
been
here
for
quite
some
time.
B
That
any
any
purchase
then
would
be
approved
by
Council
and
again.
This
is
in
my
district,
and-
and
this
is
one
of
those
things
that
is
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity-
the
house
sells
again
you'll
never
have
this
opportunity.
That
is
probably
one
of
the
the
more
heavily
used
boat
Landings.
We
only
have
a
couple
in
Bluffton,
so
you
know
obviously,
for
me
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
at
least
look
at
this
and
move
forward
and
to
see
if
we
can
make
things
work
on
on
the
piece
of
property.
B
B
A
D
It
was
brought
to
our
attention
a
short
time
ago,
like
I,
said
we
are
still
in
the
process
of
obtaining
an
appraisal,
so
the
family
has
agreed
that
the
appraisal
is
going
to
be
taking
consideration.
So
I'm
stating
one
point,
the
1.9,
but
that
price
May
fluctuate
either
way
in
addition
to
that,
by
the
time
this
comes
in
forward
in
front
of
council
I
would
have
worked
with
engineering
to
be
able
to
explain
to
council.
C
D
A
D
O
D
B
So
in
in
taking
Mr
Dawson's
question
is,
is
we
they
want
to
sell
the
whole
things
that
we
wanted
to
purchase?
It
would
have
to
purchase
the
entire
thing
it
would
then
be
up
to
Council
of
of
if
we
did
decide
to
purchase
it
and
gonna
have
to
go
through
a
vote
that
wouldn't
just
purchase
it
of
what
we
did
with
it,
and
that
would
be
either
then
to
sell
the
house
separate,
tear
the
house
down,
use
the
house
for
other
purposes.
D
N
C
B
K
Very
good
I
share
the
same
concerns
that
I've
already
heard
and
that
this
is
a
very
expensive
piece
of
property,
pushing
two
million
dollars,
and
it
seems,
as
though
we'd
be
purchasing
me,
apparently
a
rather
nice
house,
which
I
can't
imagine
that
taxpayers
of
Beaufort
County
have
a
use
for
so
I
would
be
interested
to
see
what
the
the
options
are
for
that
piece
of
property
as
well,
but
I
do
share
those
concerns.
Whether
it's.
N
J
J
Q
B
D
D
F
B
All
right
any
more
discussion
before
we
take
a
vote
I
want
to
ask:
if
there's
any
objection,
they
need
to
take
a
roll
call.
Is
any
objection?
I,
don't
see
any
objection
all
right,
so
we
will
then
this
passes
without
objection.
We
will
then
move
this
to
County,
where
we
can
get
more
information
from
you.
So
thank.
