A
B
A
D
That
part
of
it
is
not
in
executive
session,
so
so
that's
why
I
figured
that
the
initial
start
of
the
whole
conversation
it
needed
to
be
taking
place
in
executive
session,
because
it's
about
the
contracts,
so
so
it's
and
then
from
that
control.
That
conversation
can
stem
that
information
that
what
you're
talking
about
so
is
your
question.
C
G
F
F
F
F
E
Other
problems
we're
doing
okay,
we
need
to
talk
about
engagement
because
technically
you
are
scheduled
for
the
14th,
which
is
during
spring
yeah,
so
I
was
going
to
suggest
we
have
moved
finance
to
the
seventh
at
five
o'clock.
Do
you
want
to
move
your
meeting
during
the
week
of
either
the
on
the
sixth
or
the
fifth?
Do
we
want
to
know
the
meeting
that
we
first.
E
D
E
F
F
E
A
F
H
H
H
What
proved
out
of
that,
in
my
opinion
at
least,
is
that
50
acres
and
all
one
site
is
going
to
be
a
very
difficult
challenge.
Addition
to
that,
we've
also
met
with
charleston
county
and
some
other
murph
that
we
visited
and
made
a
lot
of
sense
that
they
broke
those
components
up.
Another
thing
that
became
apparent
to
us,
and
especially
looking
at
charleston
county
is
their
murph
is
state-of-the-art
facility,
which
is
second
to
none
and
that's
exactly
where
we
want
to
be.
H
K
H
H
So
we
started
looking
internally
and
where
we're
looking
at
right
now
is
moving
forward
at
our
public
works,
south
campus,
so
taking
the
space
that
we
already
have
is
already
in
industrial
use,
putting
about
a
25
000
square
foot
building
there
we'll
have
to
do
some
rerouting
on
how
we
use
that
site
and
then
look
at
some
smaller
equipment.
So
again
they
had
some
state
of
the
art
big
long
equipment
at
charleston.
There
are
some
other
technologies
out
there
that
smaller
but
same
purpose.
H
C
H
L
K
K
A
Were
doing
ecosystems
and
learning
about
the
importance
of
the
water,
the
air,
the
nutrients
returning
back
to
the
soil,
to
provide
food
for
the
plants
and
how
we
could
be
better
stewards
of
the
environment
so
that
our
plants
would
be
healthy.
Our
food
would
be
healthy
things
like
that,
and
so
we
were
studying
composting
and
recycling
and
it
just
tied
all
in
with
the
project
that
we
were
working
on.
The.
L
H
C
H
Their
third
and
final
reading
at
council
meeting
you'll
start
to
see
more
action
and
implementation
of
those
projects,
so
they
are
actively
working
on
it,
coordinating
with
our
partners
on
all
the
different
projects
and
you're
about
to
see
a
lot
more
output
on
that
so
councilman
rodman.
That
is
my
report
so
glad
we
take
any
questions.
It's.
G
G
H
No,
this
is
something
we'll
follow
up
on
with
them,
so
d.o.t
world
they
separate
mainline
from
ramps
so
when
they
say
one
set
or
278
they're
going
to
pay
that
they
may
not
necessarily
be
talking
about
their
ramps,
so
gotta
clarify
and
make
sure
that
we're
talking
the
same
language.
But
yes,
I
think
they're
not
talking
definitely
about
278,
so
they
have.
C
B
H
G
Secondly,
the
light
at
I
think
it's
tidewatch
there's
been
some
conversation
over
time
about
whether
we
could
put
a
increa
change
the
signals
in
order
to
improve
the
safety,
because
it
is
congested
and
have
been
fatalities
along
462.,
what's
kind
of
the
status
of
that
in
terms
of
rolling
it,
either
into
the
current
project,
or
literally
just
going
and
doing
it
sooner
because
it
looks
to
me
like
the
pavement
is
already
there.
It's
just
a
matter
of
changing
the
signals.
H
Yeah,
so
we
have
a
schedule
just
to
have
the
turn
signal
to
be
installed.
If
we
didn't
have
information
from
dot,
we
could
go
and
install
that
right
away
as
part
of
our
signal
maintenance
agreement.
However,
they
have
already
made
us
aware
that
they
have
studied
that
signal
and
that
it
did
not
warrant
a
left
turn
signal,
so
that
was
2018
three
years
ago
now
four
years
ago.
So
we
are
updating
that
signal,
so
we
can
make
justification
that
it
does
meet
that.
H
H
G
H
I
can
talk
through
so
the
first
one
is
a
purchase
of
a
tiger
cat
truck,
so
this
is
basically
a
mower
arm.
This
helps
us
get
a
lot
of
brushes
cut
in
an
expeditious
manner.
We
have
an
existing
one
that
has
a
pretty
high
mileage
for
the
work
that
it
does.
This
was
something
we
were
able
to
do
with
a
source
well
contract,
so
rather
than
bidded
out
a
traditional
bid,
it's
on
state
contract.
We
have
a
cost
for
244,
700
or
572
dollars.
H
H
Is
this
is
for
the
building
hvac
replacement
here
on
the
admin
building,
so
this
building,
as
you
all
are
aware,
is
30
years
old.
The
rooftop
unit
is
together,
holding
together
with
some
gum
tape
right
now
they
actually
quit
making
the
parts
to
our
hvac.
It's
that
old.
So
in
one
way
it's
valuable
because
it's
antique
and
other
way
it's
not
viable
because
it
barely
works.
H
H
This
would
be
funded
out
of
geo
bond
that
we
have
already
obligated.
So
the
staff
recommendation
is
to
make
a
ward
on
that
project
and
then
another
hvac.
This
is
for
burton
wells,
hvac
replacement.
That
is
not
quite
as
old,
so
not
quite
as
valuable,
but
it's
a
20
year
old,
rooftop
in
need
of
repair
or
in
need
of
replacement.
We
had
four
bids
or
four
bidders.
B
H
G
I
J
H
The
original
lawsuit
that
we
had
to
repairs
on
the
building,
so
we've
moved
forward
with
doing
repairs
on
this.
Two
things
is
the
roof
and
hvac
units
and
those
will
both
address
the
mold.
The
roof,
we're
working
on
a
separate
solicitation,
that'll
be
coming,
hopefully
next
bfc
meeting
so
they're
kind
of
separate,
but
they
work
together
in
tandem.
H
B
G
Any
other
comments:
are
they
seeing
none
any
objection
to
voting
on
all
three
of
these
together,
not
seeing
any
these
will
stand
approved
without
objection
that
takes
us
to
items
number
11
and
12..
I
assume
john
you're
going
to
talk
to
us
and
you
need
a
scorecard
to
keep
up
with
john.
He
keeps
getting
new
grants
all
the
time
to
apply
for,
and
even
though
we
talked
about
a
little
bit
at
finance,
we
may
have
some
people
on
board
that
weren't
on
that
meeting.
N
C
N
Each
year,
but
it's
allocated
to
each
airport
based
on
a
formula
so
for
the
commercial
airports
and
planements
and
certain
other
things
for
the
general
aviation
airports.
It's
basically
your
size
and
classification
of
the
airport.
So
that
would
be
a
pretty
standard
amount
each
year
that
we
will
apply
for.
The
second
is
aig
competitive.
N
So
that's
inside
of
the
the
first
category,
but
each
year
for
the
next
five
years
as
part
of
the
bil,
there
will
be
20
million
dollars
available
for
competitive
grants
for
airports
that
own
their
own
tower
control
tower,
like
we
do
at
hilton
head
and
that
tower
is
in
the
federal
contract
program,
which
ours
is
so
that
is
a
useful
program,
because
that
can
help
upgrade
the
equipment
inside
the
tower.
So
that'll
be
something
that
we'll
look
for.
That
notice
of
funny
opportunity
is
not
out
yet,
but
I'll
probably
be.
N
I
think
that's
due
out
in
either
april
or
may
so
I'll
be
coming
forward
again
to
talk
about
applying
for
some
of
those
funds
so
that
we
can
upgrade
the
tower
and
then
the
last
is
the
airport
turmoil
program
that
we
talked
about
during
the
finance
committee
and
that's
the
one
that
we
have
submitted.
That
submittal
was
is
due
next
week,
but
we're
a
little
bit
ahead
and
that's
one
where
I
said
the
faa
has
about
97
million
a
year.
N
M
N
B
B
N
G
C
H
Right
away,
along
with
soul,
road,
so
whitsel
road
is
a
legacy
road,
we're
trying
to
perfect
our
right
of
way.
This
is
a
section
that
actually
some
of
the
community
citizens
from
the
community
came
and
approached
us,
but
we
weren't
able
to
do
major
repairs
on
it.
There's
a
section:
it's
actually
a
five
mile
long.
H
Page,
which
is
state-owned
and
then
there's
five
miles
that
is,
is
county
owned
and
through
that
five
miles
towards
the
end
of
it.
There's
a
group
of
homeowners
that
live
at
the
very
end,
which
is
on
the
marsh
there
to
the
far
right
and,
as
you
can
see,
there's
a
couple
spots
there
where
it
goes
over
the
marsh
and
this
area
during
a
high
high
tide,
really
floods,
where
for
a
period
of
a
couple
hours,
those
those
homeowners
are
stranded.
So
if
they
had
any
emergency
needs,
they
ignored
the
traffic.
The
ems
committee
there
so.
H
The
with
the
citizens,
and
in
order
for
us
to
expend
funds
on
it
in
any
meaningful
way,
we
were
going
to
need
this
right
away,
so
we
don't
have
any
plans
as
far
as
paving
for
this
road,
but
this
at
least
gives
us
the
flexibility
to
do
some
improvements
later
to
take
a
look
at
that.
So
that's
what
this
one
is
for
whitser
road,
the
second
one
is
for
kusal
river
drive.
This
is
a
similar
legacy,
road,
just
perfecting
the
right
of
way.
H
O
H
M
So
I
met
with
the
community
a
couple
of
times
and
told
them
the
only
way
we
could
correct
that
problem,
and
it
not
continue
would
be
for
them
to
sign
over
the
right
of
way
and
they're
working
to
do
that
right
now,
so
that
we
can
put
in
the
necessary
pipe
and
to
carry
the
water
under
the
road
instead
of
it
going
over
the
top
of
the
road
and
washing
it
out.
So.
J
I
G
H
So
this
continues
the
theme
of
perfecting
the
right-of-way
and
then
once
we
had
the
right-of-way
perfected.
We
loaded
up
into
our
dirt
road
pavement
plan,
and
this
is
year
three
of
our
dirt
road
paving
plan.
So
again
we
have
a
five-year
dirt
road
paving
plan.
The
three
roads
that
are
included
in
this
year
would
be
twickenham
road,
north
view,
road
and
rainbow
road.
So
we
put
out
a
solicitation.
We
had
two
bidders.
H
We
had
a
cost
estimate
just
a
little
over
2.5
million
dollars,
and
the
bids
came
in
just
a
little
over
2.6,
so
within
2
that
is
fantastic.
Given
today's
economy
and
what
we're
seeing
in
bids
and
then
they're
even
more
more
specific
they're,
less
than
one
percent
are
right
at
one
percent
of
each
other,
so
we
feel
very
comfortable
in
the
competitiveness
of
these
bids
as
typical
on
our
dirt
road
pavements.
H
We
put
in
a
contingency
of
just
general
contingency
as
well
as
mucking,
so
the
road
bag
is
there
and
it's
and
it's
not
very
good
suitable
for
construction.
We
put
a
contingency
factor
in
there,
so
we
have
a
contingency
of
184
000
a
little
over
that
which
brings
us
to
a
total
contract
value
of
2
822
989.
H
Excuse
me,
not
contract
bay,
our
value
that
we
work
from
so
our
this
would
be
funded
from
tag
fees.
That's
where
we
pave
our
roads
from
is
from
from
tax
fees,
which
has
the
balance
there,
as
shown,
so
our
recommendation
would
be
to
move
forward
with
the
jh
tires
construction
bid
or
the
year
three
resurfacing.
H
G
M
M
I'm
doing
this
is
twofold:
I'm
providing
public
information,
but
I'm
also
gonna
give
staff
direction
and
saves
me
from
having
to
write
an
email
after
this
is
all.
Over
this
afternoon
I
was
contacted
by
skype
today
saying
that
there
will
be
a
hearing
tomorrow
in
colombia,
with
the
senate
committee
on
a
bill
called
s-984.
M
That
is
the
tag
fee
fix
from
the
supreme
court
ruling
and
they've
asked
me
to
drive
up
there
tomorrow
and
testify
before
that
hearing
at
three
o'clock
tomorrow.
So
I'm
going
to
go
to
columbia,
help
the
association
and
counties
out
on
that,
so
that
you
are
aware
of
that.
So
if
that
gets
out
of
committee
tomorrow,
that
issue
can
get
dealt
with
during.
M
Correct
the
tag
fee
items
so
here's
the
direction
for
staff
jared
tom
and
whitney.
I
need
talking
points
about
how
this
is
going
to
affect
us
financially
what
we
used
to
tag
fee
far
and
what
the
legal
ramifications
are
for
us
if
we
continue
and
do
not
have
this
resolved
during
this
session.
So
anyway
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions
about
that.
If
anybody
has
any
that's
wonderful.
H
G
O
Anybody
online
yeah
jared
the
trickingham
road
has
been
a
problem
road
for
us
for
years
and
to
finally
get
to
the
point
where
we're
getting
paid,
it's
going
to
save
us
a
lot
of
man-hours
and
actually
supplies
that
is
always
needed
during
the
inclement
weathers
out
in
that
area.
So
I'm
glad
to
see
this
coming
about.
Mr
chairman,
I
hope
that
we
approve
this
recommendation.
Thank
you
gerald
second,.
H
Yeah
we're
usually
about
a
million
dollars
a
mile
as
far
as
the
construction
that
includes
drainage
and
all
so
I
don't
have
the
numbers
in
front
of
me
as
far
as
exact
mileage,
but
that's
about
right.
Okay,
one
thing
to
note
too,
on
just
just
for
everybody:
we
put
one
out
every
year
based
off
of
our
cycle,
so
we
already
have
a
five
year,
we're
working
on
starting
another
five
year
review
so
