The

member
of
County
Council
Lawrence
McKellen,
who
is
the
vice
chair,
who
is

Two

of
council
are

That's
Gerald,
Dawson
and
Tom
reads.
The
other
remaining
members
of
council
are
in
Chambers.
Therefore
we
do
have
of
the
amount
necessary
to
conduct
business
of
council.
Would
you
all
rise
for
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
A
Of
the
United
States
of
America
and
to
the
Republic
for
which
it
stands,
one
nation
under
God,
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all
public
notification
of
this
meeting,
has
been
published,
posted
and
distributed
in
compliance
with
the
South
Carolina
Freedom
of
Information.
Act
I
would
ask
that
a
member
of
council
make
a
motion
to
amend
today's
agenda
by
removing
item
number
seven
from
the
executive
session
to
be
included
in
the
public
hearing
and
action
items.
Mr
chairman,
as.
A
And
seconded
Sarah
did
you
get
who
moved
in
seconded,
okay,
dueling,
motioned
and
seconded?
Is
there
any
discussion
seeing
none?
The
agenda
has
been
amended
now.
I
would
like
a
motion
and
second
for
the
amended
agenda,
so
movement
I'll.
Second,
it
okay,
duly
motioned
and
seconded
by
Mr
Cunningham
and
miss
tabernick.
Any
questions
seeing
no
questions.
This
will
be
approved
without
objection
and
there
are
no
objections.
A
C
However,
there's
a
real
opportunity
to
radically
order
the
corrosive
culture
that
has
engulfed
this
past
administration
just
one
example
of
the
corrosive
culture
just
one
on
January
5th
of
this
year
there
was
a
three-hour
Planning
Commission
meeting
regarding
a
staff
proposed
term
Amendment
to
the
CPO.
It
would
have
quickly
turned
seen
Helena
Island
into
another
Hilton
Head.
It
would
have
destroyed
a
way
of
life
that
has
existed
for
literally
hundreds
of
years.
C
The
surprise
term
amendment
was
apparently
drafted
by
the
county
attorney.
The
Proposal
was
forcefully
pushed
by
her
and
the
County
Administrator.
The
effort
had
all
the
appearances
of
a
sleazy
backroom
deal.
That
would
greatly
benefit
a
specific
developer,
literally
within
minutes
of
their
presentation.
The
Planning
Commission
smelled,
the
rat
and
further
recognized
this
was
a
pathetic
attempt
to
create
a
go-around
for
a
developer.
C
Now
we
have
come
to
learn
those
staff.
Members
had
apparently
been
holding
dozens
of
secret
meetings
behind
closed
doors.
With
the
developer
and
his
team.
The
community
was
kept
in
the
dark,
apparently
not
the
developer,
the
hubris
and
arrogance
they
insisted.
The
term
Amendment
had
absolutely
nothing
to
do
with
Pine
Island.
D
C
There
should
be
a
thorough
investigation
of
events
leading
up
to
that
Planning
Commission
meeting
eight
weeks
ago,
I
stood
before
this
body
and
requested
Mr
greenway's
termination
I
was
verbally
assaulted
by
one
council
member
for
doing
so
open
your
eyes
change
the
culture
clone
house,
where
needed
times
of
the
essence,
no
confidential
settlement
to
pay
out
the
greenway
when
we're
clearly
indicate
a
cover-up.
Additionally,
even
her
actions
of
poor
Judgment
at
least
terminate
the
employment
of
Miss
Ward,
Academy
attorney.
C
E
Mr
passman,
you
must
be
replaced
as
chairman.
Unfortunately,
you
were
as
bad
as
Robin
and
Somerville
I.
Ask
you
to
never
disrespect
me
interrupt
me
nor
storm
out
of
this
room
and
violate
my
legal
POA,
legal
doc
to
speak
three
minutes
for
Ms
Greeley
or
anyone
else
that
wants
me
to
speak
on
their
behalf.
Mr
passman.
You
serve
the
public
interest,
we
don't
serve.
You
citizens
come
here
to
speak,
to
help
this
Council
as
professionals
and
should
be
thanked
for
coming
lawyer,
Kevin
and
Hobart.
You
both
lied.
E
There
is
no
law
that
prevents
my
POA
to
speak
for
others,
and
also
my
own
three-minute
comment
hand
it
to
me
right
now.
If
it
exists
also,
it's
absurd
to
even
care
who
speaks
three
minutes.
What
difference
does
it
make
whose
voice
it
is
it's
the
message
it
seems:
you're
disdain
from
my
facts
and
voice
overshadows
your
any
reality
or
law
compliance.
I,
provide
counsel
today,
a
road
map
to
follow
the
cleanup,
our
financial,
legal
and
judicial
corruption
in
this
County.
E
Chambers
Etc
I
offer
you
a
study
by
the
Yankee
Institute
on
School
District
waste
and
Corruption,
and
had
a
forensic
audit
study
on
small
town
and
county
corruption
by
Columbia
Law
School,
and
how
to
how
independent
CPAs
and
FBI
audits
will
work
a
copy
of
the
outdated
but
relevant
relevant
relevant
forensic
article
of
the
Palm
Beach
CBB,
DMO
or
chamber
audit
that
resulted
in
prison
in
Palm
Beach.
This
Council
must
not
only
audit
all
the
chambers
and
CB
cbbs
and
dmos,
but
terminate
all
of
them
and
hire
an
ad
agency
to
run
this
in-house
legally.
E
As
a
professional,
I,
I
will
work
with
your
committee
to
fix
this
and
do
this
for
free
no
charge,
and
please
don't
tell
me
the
lawyers,
know
more
than
I
do
about
the
laws
they
don't.
Lastly,
we
need
to
audit
Maria
wall,
our
treasurer
and
the
article
on
the
on
the
packet
on
the
last
audit.
It
was
performed
about
10
years
ago
on
our
treasure,
and
we
need
to
do
it
again.
It
is
way
past
time
to
clean
up
Beaufort
County.
We
must
stop
the
waste.
E
F

E
E
E
E
E
H
H
A
I
would
like
a
motion
in
second
for
a
public
hearing
and
third
reading
of
an
ordinance
amendment
to
provide
for
a
modified
millage
rate
for
the
levy
of
tax
for
school
purposes,
for
Beaufort
County
for
the
fiscal
year,
beginning
July,
1,
2023
and
ending
June
30th
2024
and
to
make
Appropriations
for
said
purposes.
I'll
make
the
motion
Ms
tabernick
makes
the
motion
Miss
Brown
makes
the
second
dueling.
B
B
E
It
is,
and
you're
gonna
get
it
ending
corruption
and
waste
in
your
public
school
here
is
your
road
map,
but
I'm
going
to
hand
it
to
you
on
how
the
FBI
former
FBI
agents
CPAs
are
going
to
do.
The
audit
of
the
school
district
I
can
read
the
just
the
first
little
bit
of
this
for
you
and
in
order
for
school
boards
and
their
employees
to
protect
and
monitor
schools.
A
E
Is
going
down?
Okay?
Well,
it
might
want
to
go
down
more
because
because
we
we're
going
to
discover
a
lot
of
ways
but
I'm,
not
you
know
what
I'm
not
going
to
go
ahead
and
comment
I'm
going
to
just
let
you
read
this
I'll
give
it
to
you,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
once
we
get
through
the
forensic
audits,
everything
is
going
to
go
down
everything.
A

I

following
two
items:

South
Carolina

code,
section
30-4-70
A2
to
receive
legal
advice
on
matters
covered
by
the
attorney
client
privilege
regarding
Mr,
Eric
Greenway.
So.
A
J
Fort
Fremont
closes
out
a
350-year
legacy
of
coastal
fortifications
in
Port
Royal
sound
beginning
in
the
mid
16th
century.
It
also
represents
the
closing
chapter
of
America's
coastal
defense
system
before
the
dawn
of
air
power.
Fort
Fremont
is
an
example
of
the
most
advanced
military
technology
of
its
time.
It
would
parallel
the
B-17
and
aircraft
carrier
of
World
War
II.
The
F-35
of
today
Fort
Fremont
was
an
important
part
of
the
Beaufort
culture
very
similar
to
Paris
Island
and
the
Marine
Corps
Air
Base.
Today
in.
I
I
It
became
the
first
capital
of
Florida
and
they
explored
the
back
country
from
this
location
for
more
than
a
century,
with
the
object
of
building
a
highway
from
This
Magnificent
Harbor
to
Mexico
City.
So
the
sound
was
known
to
the
Spaniards.
It
was
known
to
the
French,
who
actually
got
here
first
and
followed
and
created
the
first
Protestant
colony
in
the
New
World
on
Paris
Island
over
my
shoulder
and
that
colony
was
a
failure.
The
Spaniards
replaced
them.
I
It
was
part
of
Spanish
Florida
when
the
English
arrived
150
years
later,
and
this
was
became
as
a
consequence,
a
Battleground
in
the
18th
century,
between
Spanish
interests
in
Florida
and
Saint
Augustine
and
the
English
colony
in
Carolina
and
in
Charleston
and
back
and
forth.
These
wars
went
many
of
them,
Naval
Wars,
many
of
them,
employing
as
all
the
sailors
Knew
by
then
the
magic
of
Port
Royal
South.
But
when
the
Civil
War
came,
Confederates
defended
the
harbor,
but
it
was
basically
indefensible
against
large
Naval
forces.
I
in
a
four-hour
cannonade,
which
would
have
been
deafening
from
where
we're
sitting
Was
Heard
for
miles
from
Savannah.
Nearly
to
Charleston
it
was
called
The
Day
of
the
big
gun
shoot
during
the
Civil
War.
This
Harbor
that
we're
looking
at
was
filled
with
ships.
It
would
be
hundreds
of
ships
in
this
Harbor
there
was
a
thousand
foot
dock
with
a
railroad
on
top
off
of
Hilton
Head.
I
I
So
this
was
a
major
U.S
government
installation
in
the
heart
of
the
South.
It
was
the
headquarters
of
the
U.S
army
Department
of
the
South.
But
more
importantly,
it
was
the
headquarters
of
the
United
States
Navy
South
Atlantic,
blockading
Squadron,
so
the
biggest
ships
in
the
Navy
were
here,
and
so
it
became
and
and
that's
really
where
the
story
of
Fort
Fremont
starts
with
that
huge
Civil,
War
military
operations
and
installations
on
Hilton
Head
on
Saint
Helena
Island,
on
Paris
Island
and
in
Butte.
H
After
the
Civil
War
we're
going
to
see
a
massive
change
in
technology,
that's
going
to
revolutionize
the
military.
During
the
Civil
War,
we
had
Ironclad
ships,
we
had
rifle
cannons,
but
they
were
all
made
out
of
iron
and
they
were
not
terribly
effective,
but
it's
technology
is
going
to
change
after
the
Civil
War,
we're
going
to
see
steel
produced
and
steel
is
much
harder.
So
now
we
have
a
new
materials
to
make
armor
out
of
for
ships.
So
we
can
have
these
armored
ships
made
with
steel
in
a
much
more
resistance.
H
A
shot
because
I
have
steel.
I
can
make
stronger
barrels
for
my
guns.
I
can
rifle
and
machine
these
much
better
and
the
rifling
is
the
spirals
are
cutting
the
barrel
that
allows
it
to
shoot
further
with
more
accuracy,
and
we
can
also
now
have
breech
loading
guns
that
can
lock
from
behind.
So
I
can
load
my
gun
from
behind
I
don't
have
to
go.
Have
the
whole
black
powder
muzzle
loading
Cannon
head
before
now?
H
You
can
put
it
in
with
greater
precision
and
can
put
it
through
much
more
armor
than
anything
we
had
in
1860s
World
difference.
A
military
historian,
ER
Lewis
would
say
that
the
change
between
the
Civil,
War
and
1890
in
artillery
technology
was
the
greatest
that
would
be
seen
since
invention
of
artillery
in
the
14th
century
to
the
introduction
of
the
nuclear
projectile
in
the
1950s.
So
there's
been
a
huge
change
in
gun
technology.
At
the
same
time,
it's
not
just
the
steel
but
also
the
powder
that
fires.
These
guns
is
different.
H
We
have
new
chemical
makeup
and
so
like
cordite
is
invented
now
and
it's
still
a
widely
used
military
explosive,
even
today
smokeless
power
of
His
event
during
this
period
of
time,
and
it's
not
just
chemical
composition,
but
it's
the
details
of
how
you
make
the
grain
how
fast
they
burn.
So
much
like
the
skill
of
firing,
a
solid
rocket,
solid
fuel
rocket,
it's
that
same
kind
of
Technology,
that's
been
developed
in
these
gunpowder
and
this
new
powder.
So
our
weapons
of
this
day
are
much
much
greater.
H
H
They
are
now
equipped
with
these
fine
long-range
guns
and
they
now
become
the
dominant
threat
of
the
late
19th
early
20th
century.
This
is
the
threat,
the
French
and
English,
with
bombard
cities
like
Cairo
and
reduce
them
to
Rubble,
because
they
were
unable
to
defend
them.
So
this
is
how
the
world
was
seeing
the
threat
from
this
new
technology.
Big
battleships,
are
the
threat
of
the
era
and
new
guns
and
fortifications
on
the
ground
or
what
you
have
to
have
to
defend
against
them.
I
One
of
the
most
important
at
first
things
that
happened
after
the
Civil
War
is
they
built
a
railroad
to
Port
Royal
sound
which
didn't
exist.
It
was
the
first
connection
of
the
sea
Islands
to
the
mainland.
The
advantage
that
railroad
is
it
brought
coal
to
Port,
Royal
South.
So
when
the
coal
was
delivered,
the
Navy
followed.
H
In
1872,
Robert
Smalls
was
in
the
South
Carolina
legislature
and
he
pushed
through
a
resolution
to
the
Secretary
of
War,
calling
for
them
to
put
a
Navy
station
on
Paris
Island
and
eventually
he
would
go
into
Congress
where
he
would
continue
his
support
for
a
Navy
station.
Here
in
the
Beaufort
Court
Royal
area.
They
eventually
opened
a
Navy
station
here
and
a
cooling
station.
I
They
created
in
the
1890s
on
Paris
Island,
the
largest
Dry
Dock
in
the
United
States.
This
is
the
period
when
the
U.S
Navy
was
switching
from
sail
to
steam.
All
the
Navies
of
the
world
need
polling
station.
This
was
the
principal
Kohli
station
because
of
the
railroad
for
the
Caribbean
and
South
American
U.S
fleets.
This
would
be.
H
The
biggest
Dry
Dock
south
of
Norfolk-
in
fact
it
is
the
only
Dry
Dock
south
of
Norfolk
Virginia,
that's
capable
of
taking
these
new
modern
battleships
of
these
new
modern
armored
Cruisers.
So
this
becomes
at
this
point
a
strategic
Navy
Basin
that
it
provides
coal
and
it
provides
a
top-line
support
to
the
ships
and
they
can
repair
the
hulls
of
even
the
biggest
ships
in
the
U.S
Navy.
H
Following
the
Civil
War
National
strategy
and
emphasis
in
the
United,
States
shifted
from
to
recovery
from
war
and
all
of
our
Coastal
fortifications
went
into
neglect.
The
military
was
busy
taming,
the
west
and
Coastal
defenses
became
something
that
was
no
longer
important
in
the
rest
of
the
world.
Technology
is
moving
forward
and
they're
developing
these
battleships
or
developing
new
high
quality
artillery,
and
this
is
going
on
worldwide
and
in
1885
president
Grover
Cleveland
appointed
Endicott
board.
H
This
was
headed
by
secretary
War,
Endicott,
William
Endicott,
and
the
board
would
meet
initial
report
in
1886
and
they
said
the
conditions
of
our
Coastal
defenses
were
just
unbearable.
It
cannot
be
allowed
to
stay
like
that
and
they
made
recommendations
for
fortification
and
improvements
identified,
29
places
that
needed
fortifications
and
11
of
which
were
critical
in
that
list
of
29,
Savannah
and
Charleston
on
the
list.
But
Beaufort
is
not
on
the
list.
They'll
take
international
events
to
bring
Buford
into
the
play
of
modern
Fort
technology.
I
So
the
USS
Maine
was
here
on
patrol
and
in
the
harbor
and
while
they
were
in
the
harbor
several
times,
they
entertained
the
local
population.
So
the
merchants
and
the
social
leaders
and
the
political
leaders
of
Beaufort
were
invited
to
come,
have
lunch
with
the
captain
of
the
ship.
Captain
sigsby
and
the
officers
got
to
know
the
people.
The
people
got
to
know
the
officers.
The
crew,
which
was
large,
would
go
ashore
on
payday
and
make
friends
with
everybody
in
town.
H
At
that
point,
somebody
in
the
war
department
realized
that
we
had
this
big
Dry
Dock,
the
only
Dry
Dock
in
the
South
that
could
take
on
and
repair
these
big
Capital
ships
that
were
in
our
Navy
we're
going
to
start
operations
against
a
power
in
the
Caribbean,
and
this
fort
was
totally
undefended
and
that's
what
put
Fort
Fremont
on
the
map
we
had
to
have
a
fort
here
to
defend
the
polling
station,
and
especially
this
big
Dry
Dock,
as
well
as
this
fine
Harbor.
That's
here.
I
And,
of
course,
that
event,
which
killed
300
or
more
Sailors
on
the
ship
was
very
much
followed
by
the
local
news
media
and
very
much
lamented
by
the
many
friends
that
the
crew
had
made
here.
The
destruction
of
the
USS
Maine
was
a
personal
matter
to
Beaufort
and
to
Port
Royal
South
and
of
course
it
was
the
Spanish-American
War
and
the
attempt
to
defend
this
Harbor
again,
which
led
to
the
creation
of
Fort
Fremont.
The
United
States
declared
war
on
Spain
in
in
April
1898.
I
H
By
early
may,
we
had
temporary
batteries
in
place
here,
submarine
mines
were
in
place
and
in
the
summer
they
would
actually
place
the
mines
across
the
Beaufort
river.
Behind
me,
the
temporary
batteries
were
a
temporary
expedient.
They
were
located
to
my
left
about
a
thousand
yards.
They
immediately
began
construction
of
what
would
become
Fort
Fremont.
The
large
batteries
would
House
of
large
guns
battery
four
Nance
rapid
fire
guns.
The
smaller
battery
was
completed
by
June
of
1898.
I
H
F
Well,
Fort
Fremont
was
named
for
a
Major
General
John
Fremont.
He
was
actually
a
local
boy,
so
to
speak.
He
was
born
and
grew
up
in
Savannah
Georgia,
just
south
of
us,
and
went
to
college
in
the
College
of
Charleston
up
just
north
of
us
in
Charleston.
He
served
in
the
Army
and
primarily
initially
as
a
Explorer
as
army.
Forts
were
generally
named
for
army
officers
and
he
was
connected
locally.
F
We
are
sitting
in
the
number
three
gun
position
of
a
three
gun
battery
Jessup,
which
had
three
10-inch
disappearing
carriage,
large
caliber
guns,
breach
loading
guns.
Their
purpose
was
to
engage
the
warships
that
might
be
entering
the
harbor
and
Port
Royal
sound
we're
here
now
at
the
second
battery
that
was
part
of
Fort
Fremont.
This
is
battery.
Four
Nance
was
named
for
Army
officer
that
was
actually
killed
during
the
Spanish-American
War
during
the
Battle
of
San
Juan
Hill
battery
for
an
ants
mounted
two
British
made
4.72
inch,
Armstrong
quickfire
guns.
F
They
were
called
quick
fire
because
they
loaded
were
loaded
with
a
complete
cartridge
and
it
in
time
of
action.
They
could
fire
four
to
six
rounds
per
minute.
The
purpose
of
battery
formats
was
to
defend
the
Minefield,
which
was
the
other
component
of
the
Endicott
Coast
artillery
or
or
Coast
defense
system,
a
Minefield
with
controlled
mines
controlled,
meaning
that
they
were
connected
electrically
to
Shore
and
could
be
fired
on
command
from
Shore.
F
That
control
station
would
have
been
probably
shared
with
the
plotting
room
and
in
order
to
protect
the
Minefield.
Obviously,
an
enemy
would
want
to
interfere
with
that.
Might
send
vessels
small
ships
in
here
at
night
to
try
to
interfere
and
this
battery
would
take
those
vessels
Under
Fire.
If
there
was
some,
there
was
suspected
that
they
were
doing
something
to
interfere
with
the
mines,
such
as
pulling
up
the
cables
and
cutting
those
the.
H
D
Was
this
disciplined
and
regimented,
they
even
had
little
times
were
specified
lengths
of
time
15
minutes
for
lunch,
15
minutes
at
breakfast
20
minutes
of
supper.
They
had
to
practice
their
skills.
They
were
training
and
doing
maintenance
constantly.
If
you
can
imagine
with
these
big
guns,
they
had
to
have
skills
in
and
practice
the
skills
in
artillery
mine
laying
signaling,
which
involved
in
our
case
at
Fort,
Fremont
the
use
of
the
fire
control
tower,
which
was
pretty
sophisticated
and
advanced
signaling
technique.
D
Then
they
also
had
to
practice
the
typical
military
skills
marching
and
drilling
Small
Arms,
fire,
first
aid
and
so
forth.
In
addition
to
that,
they
also
had
participated
in
athletics.
They
had
physical
training
PT
and
they
also
had
sports
teams.
So
this
was
to
keep
them
physically
fit
so
that
they
could
continue
their
their
duties
because
they
were,
it
was
pretty
rigorous
at
Fort,
Fremont.
H
When,
eventually,
the
decision
was
made
to
move
a
dry
dock
and
the
cooling
station
in
the
Navy
station
up
to
Charleston,
then
this
fort
no
longer
became
significant.
There
was
nothing
left
here
that
was
to
be
protected.
At
that
point,
1911
the
last
troops
were
transferred
out
and
the
fort
was
closed.
I
In
1901,
the
mayor
of
Charleston
and
the
United
States
Senator
Pitchfork
Ben
Tillman
in
South
Carolina
wanted
this
to
move
from
Beaufort
County
to
Charleston
County,
because
there
are
more
votes
in
Charleston
County
and
the
mayor
wanted.
The
U.S
Corps
of
Engineers
in
the
Navy
to
dredge
the
harbor
of
Charleston,
because
battleships
in
those
days
required
26
feet
of
water,
Charleston's
natural
Harbors,
15
feet
of
water.
Port
Royal
is
30..
You
know
what,
in
order
for
Charleston
to
sustain
its
Port,
it's
commercial
Port.
It
had
to
dredge
the
harbor.
I
I
H
The
fort
did
its
job
the
deterrent
for
anybody
that
wished
to
attack
these.
It
provided
protection,
in
fact,
the
whole
endicotta
system,
although
never
challenged
in
this
era.
Here
in
the
United
States,
provided
some
300
major
guns,
Coastal
guns,
to
protect
major
areas
and
left
the
United
States
at
the
beginning
of
the
20th
century,
with
his
well-defended
Coastline
as
any
place
in
in
the
world,
but
I.
I
I
would
just
like
to
say
that
it's
a
magnificent
artifact
of
an
era
and
it's
an
era
that
has
been
neglected.
The
turn
of
the
20th
century,
the
naval
station
across
the
river
here,
and
so
it's
a
it's
a
piece
of
History,
that's
disappearing
and
the
friends
of
Fort,
Fremont
and
Beaufort
County
have
preserved
it
for
the
use
of
the
public
and
as
a
memorial
to
that
moment
in
history,
Fort.
J
Fremont
closes
at
350-year
story
of
Homeland
Security
addressing
European
imperialism
in
the
19th
century.
It's
a
tale
of
how
geography,
technology
and
National
Security
creates
a
transition
for
America
to
become
a
global
power.
It's
also
a
wonderful
snapshot
of
America.
In
the
beginning
of
the
20th
century,
the
friends
of
Fort,
Fremont
and
Beaufort
County
have
a
valued
partnership,
working
in
tandem
to
preserve
the
fort's
integrity
and
promote
the
historical,
natural
and
cultural
aspects
of
the
Court
most
important,
we're
always
looking
for
creative
ways
to
enhance
visitor
experience.
