I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
this
coming
Saturday
June
24th.
We
are
having
a
Employee
Appreciation
event,
we're
shutting
down
the
Buckwalter
Recreation
Center
so
that
all
the
employees
can
come
there
and
enjoy
some
food
and
some
recreational
activities.
I
understand,
there's
going
to
be
bounce
castles,
water,
slides,
a
Duncan
booth
that
a
certain
individual
that
remain
nameless
will.
E
D
C
A
G
G
G
G
G
G
There's
some
that
are
a
little
late
right
now
are
in
a
governmental
or
low
we're
still
waiting
our
state
aids
to
subdivision
for
the
fourth
quarter,
but
typically
we
don't
see
that
until
the
July
and
August
time
frame,
we
did
get
our
homestead
exemption,
which
I
have
talked
about
before
the
total
that
Beaufort
County
and
all
the
municipalities
received
was
4.8
million
dollars.
The
general
foreign
fund
portion
of
the
homestead
exemption
was
2
million
seven.
G
Seventy
four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
forty
dollars
for
those
of
y'all
I
know
there
are
some
new
faces
on
on
the
finance
committee.
For
those
of
you
that
don't
know
what
the
homestead
exemption
is
a
complete
exemption
of
taxes
on
the
first
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
fair
market
value
of
your
legal
residence
for
homeowners
that
are
over
age,
65,
totally
and
permanently
disabled
or
legally
blind,
and
to
get
this,
if
you're
eligible,
you
need
to
contact
the
County
Auditor.
G
So
that's
the
first
one
finds
the
forfeitures
are
also
currently
lagging
I.
We
don't
think
they're
going
to
hit
budget
but
they'll
be
pretty
close
and
then
miscellaneous
revenues
and
use
of
Prior
year
fund
balance.
The
that
looks
like
we
haven't
done
much
there,
which
we
really
haven't
the
use
of
Prior
year
fund
balance
is,
is
basically
a
placeholder,
so
we
can
expend
funds
there's
a
part
of
the
slide
that
I'll
explain
later
on
down
the
road.
Can
you
go
to
the
next
next
page?
Please.
C
G
Have
expenditures
it
looks
like
the
majority
of
our
departments
this
year
are
going
to
have
surpluses
currently
and
I'm,
probably
going
to
get
you
to
scroll,
keep
scrolling
it.
You
need
to
probably
go
down
like
to
the
third
page
of
expenditures,
so
that'd
be
less
Revenue
one
and
then
there's
another
Revenue
page
in
the
two
expenditure
pages.
G
G
You
have
two
more
pages
it'll,
be
on
the
last
page
of
the
okay,
so
detail
of
expenditure
so
y'all
see.
So
we
have
everything
from
the
the
different
departments
as
a
531
and
and
I
kind
of
struck,
a
total
up
top
to
show
y'all
where
we
are
and
it's
about
119
million
dollars.
And
then
there
was
uses
of
our
fund
balance,
there's
22
million
dollars
that
we
transferred
over
in
the
CIP
fund,
and
that
was
all
budgeted
or
done
via
ordinance.
You
had
nine
million
dollars.
G
It
was
originally
budgeted
for
the
CIP
for
them
to
fund
various
projects.
We
had
the
condemnation
of
helsman
way,
which
was
an
ordinance
2235,
the
condemnation
of
Melrose
Landing
for
900
or
1
000,
1
million
plus
dollars
and
22
37.
We
had
funding
ordinance,
22
41,
that
use
fund
balance
to
purchase
1505
North
Street
for
630
000
in
a
transportation
project
of
six
million
dollars,
and
then
funding
ordinance
2023-11.
G
G
H
G
H
G
G
G
Whenever
we
get
done
with
the
role
in
critical
lands
program,
so
there'll
probably
be
a
discussion
on
what
it.
Hopefully
you
can
find
something
to
do
with
that.
Fifty
one
thousand
dollars
so
anyways,
that's
all
I
have
for
those.
We
are
going
to
be
redeeming.
The
2013,
a
bond
which
we
you
know
pass
an
ordinance
on
and
we'll
be
paying
that
off
before
the
fiscal
year
end
out
of
fund
balance,
we're
also
going
to
be
paying
our
fourth
out
of
ten
payments
to
The
Culinary
Arts
Institute
for
TCL.
G
In
the
amount
of
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars,
half
a
million
dollars
is
our
portion.
Fifty
thousand
dollars
is
the
town
and
blufftons
Portion,
and
then
250
is
the
school
district's
portion
we
put
on
our
next
app
for
something
that
we
have
to
do
so
as
soon
as
we
get
done
with
our
budget,
we'll
be
starting
on
our
2023
audit.
So
we've
gotten
a
list
of
schedules
that
aren't
needed
from
the
auditor
and
we're
we're
getting
that
up
and
going
right
now
and.
G
G
B
G
H
G
There
were
would
be
30
line
items
for
supplies,
and
then
they
may
be
office,
supplies
or
medical
supplies
or
cleaning
supplies
or
they're.
All
supplies
supplies
their
supplies
are
supplies,
so
we've
commenced
those
down
the
the
department
codes
are
going
to
be
fairly
clay.
They
won't
be
close
to
what
the
organ
object
codes
are
already,
but
the
the
way
Venus
is
going
right
now,
they're,
getting
away
from
the
organ
object
codes
that
go
into
departments,
so
it
was
something
that
we
needed
to
do
anyway,
but
also
helps
us
with
our
project
accounting.
G
G
G
G
Are
we
on
now?
That's
that's
in
a
different
fund
and
I
can
I
I
was
I.
This
These
funds
are
really
for
land
preservation.
You
know
fee
simple
purchases
and
and
easements
and
I
guess
that
was
part
of
the
20
million
out
of
the
25
million
dollar
bond.
This
is
a
20
million.
There
is
a
five
million
dollar
in
there.
The
five
million
dollars
I'd
be
more
than
happy
to
prepare
a
schedule
for
you
when
I
get
back
and
get
it
to
you
tomorrow.
H
A
Could
Mr
Williams
commend
you
and
Mr
butts
and
your
staff?
You
guys,
have
done
an
incredible
job
this
year.
As
you
come
to
the
end
of
our
fiscal
year,
I
mean
I,
don't
think
it's
ever
gone
so
smooth
it's
been
more
transparent
than
what
it
is
right
now.
So
again,
you
guys
have
done
an
incredible
job.
I
know
you
never
get
enough
credit
for
for
things
that
happen.
You'll
get
credit
for
things
when
they're,
when
they're
not
correct,
but
I
can
tell
you
guys
have
done
a
great
job.
So
thank
you.
G
H
G
A
A
K
Sure
thing
I'm,
Sarah
weathers,
as
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
Fripp
Island
Public
Service
District.
We
also
have
the
chairman
of
the
commission
with
us
here
today.
We
are
here
in
regards
to
the
general
obligation
Bond
issuance
that
the
commission
has
determined
necessary.
They
are
seeking
to
Issue
5
million
250
000
worth
of
General
obligation
bonds.
These
are
to
address
some
kind
of
sudden
unexpected
needs.
K
These
bonds
are
being
issued
outside
of
the
district's
eight
percent
debt
limit,
so
these
bonds
will
be
put
to
a
vote
by
their
qualified
voters
of
the
district.
So
even
if
authorized
by
County
Council,
they
will
still
need
to
be
approved
by
voters.
In
the
district,
there
is
a
corresponding
millage
increase
that
will
occur,
we're
still
working
with
the
financial
advisors
to
determine
exactly
what
that
will
be,
and
it
will
also
depend
on
the
what
is
approved
by
the
electors,
but
the
process
for
how
this
will
work.
K
Works
through
title
6,
chapter
11.,
it's
a
pretty
lengthy
process
even
with
the
qualified
electors,
it
kind
of
adds
another
layer
there.
But
the
timeline
that
we
have
proposed
is
that
at
your
June
meeting
you
will
hopefully
approve
a
resolution
calling
for
a
public
hearing
and
give
first
reading
to
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
issuance
of
the
bond
subject
to
the
referendum
in
July.
We
would
actually
hold
the
public
hearing
and
then
hopefully
give
second
favorable
reading
to
the
ordinance
and
then
in
August.
K
We
would
hopefully
ask
that
you
enact
the
ordinance
and
then
adopt
another
resolution
that
would
call
for
the
referendum.
We
would
then
at
that
point
in
August
work
with
the
election
commission.
We've
already
been
in
communication
with
them,
some
to
let
them
know
that,
hopefully
this
will
be
in
the
pipeline
and
what
the
notice
will
look
like,
but
following
August,
if
the
ordinance
is
enacted
and
the
resolution
is
adopted,
we
would
then
work
closely
with
the
election
commission
to
get
this
on
the
ballot
at
the
November
general
election.
K
If
it
is
a
successful
referendum,
we
would
come
before
you
one
final
time
for
you
to
adopt
a
resolution,
affirming
the
results
as
certified
by
the
election
commission
and
once
that
whole
process
is
through.
The
district
would
then
begin
communicating
with
the
banks
and
hopefully
get
the
bonds
issued
before
the
calendar
year
is
out.
So
it's
a
lengthy
process,
but
one
that
the
commission
has
determined
necessary
and
we
hope
you
will
as
well
so
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
on
the
process
or
the
bonds
and
kind
of
what
they're
looking
for
there.

E

A
few
months
ago,
you
were
presented
with
a
bulk
of
this
information,
some
of
it's
going
to
be
a
repeat,
but
today
we
have
have
brought
the
Plan
full
circle,
so
I'd
like
to
introduce
Kyle,
Theodore,
I'm,
Mark,
Baker
and
niele
Bot
I
hope
I
got
your
name
right
with
wooden
partners
and
they're
going
to
present
our
Parks
and
Rec
master
plan.
Thank
you.
P
Thank
you
very
much.
Mr
chairman
members
of
council
Mr
Greenway.
My
name
is
Mark
Baker
and
we
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
not
only
to
present
to
you
today
but
to
work
on
this
project.
It's
been
a
very
exciting
Journey.
To
begin
to
look
at
how
we
can
enhance
and
improve
the
Park
and
Recreation
system
for
Beaufort
County.
We
learned
a
lot
in
this
journey
and
we're
going
to
share
with
you
that
Journey
again,
my
name
is
Mark
Baker
with
one
Partners
Kyle
Theodore
with
wood
and
partners
and
delay
bot
with
next
practice.
P
Partners
are
the
essential
Consultants
that
make
up
this
team
and
the
planning
process
that
we've
gone
through.
What
we're
going
to
do
today
is
work
through
this
agenda
very
quickly
as
quickly
as
we
can.
We
have
a
lot
of
information
to
cover,
but,
as
you
look
at
the
agenda
that
we
have
up
on
the
screen,
each
of
those
represent
the
an
element
of
the
planning
process
that
we've
gone
through,
which
has
been
very
comprehensive.
The
demographics
and
studying
that
Community
engagement,
programs
and
services,
analysis
and
Staffing
parking
facility
inventory.
P
What
do
you
have
today
going
forward
and
then
combining
all
of
that
to
come
up
with
a
level
of
service
analysis,
in
other
words,
projecting
out
what
the
recreation
needs
are
for
your
constituents
and
then
developing
mapping
that
shows
where
those
facilities
are
and
how
those
services
are
being
delivered
and
identifying
the
gaps
in
service.
So
the
equity
mapping
is
a
very
important
part
of
that
and
then
a
sports
and
tourism
and
economic
impact
assessment.
P
P
A
capital
Improvement
plan
and
what
those
costs
would
be
if
you
move
forward
with
the
recommendations
that
that
we're
projecting
and
then
the
next
steps
in
US
wrapping
up
the
the
master
plan,
but
first
a
little
bit
about
the
firms
that
are
working
on
this
wooden
Partners.
Many
of
you
know
are
firm
and
know
us.
We
are
working
with
Beaufort
County
on
many
projects,
specifically
Park
and
Recreation
design
facility
design,
we're
a
physical
Park
planning
firm,
but
we're
also
a
Deeds
assessment
firm.
P
If
you
look
at
the
bottom,
half
of
the
slide
park
and
rec
needs
assessments
that
we've
worked
on:
Savannah
Charleston
Columbia
for
cities
and
then
counties
Richland,
County,
Columbia,
Richmond,
County
and
Georgia,
and
then
Columbia
County
in
Georgia.
We
just
finished
up
a
significant
plan
for
them
in
three
major
Parks,
three
or
four
major.
P
P
Parks
that
we're
working
on
with
you,
a
lot
of
you
know
pretty
exciting
parks
that
you
have
going
on:
Buckwalter
Burton,
Wells,
new
Riverside,
which
is
exciting,
we're
also
working
for
the
town
of
Bluffton,
new
Riverside
Barn
Park,
which
is
really
going
to
be
exciting
and
then
just
finished
up.
Low
Country
celebration.
Now,
if
you've
been
to
Hilton
Head
lately,
but
one
of
our
parks
there
on
the
island
and.
Q
They
asked
me
to
keep
it
short.
I
promise
I'll
be
done
by
six
o'clock,
I'm
sure
I'm
just
kidding
my
name
is
nilipat
I
am
the
founder
and
CEO
with
next
practice,
Partners,
formerly
a
principal
with
Pros
Consulting.
When
we
started
the
project,
I
have
done
a
couple
hundred
of
these
plans,
all
over
the
country,
Anchorage
Alaska
to
Allentown
Pennsylvania,
and
everything
in
between
and
I've
had
the
fortune
of
working
with
Kyle
and
mark
from
before
I
had
any
gray
hair.
Q
So
it's
been
a
long
time,
but
but
so
again
it's
a
it's
a
pleasure
to
sort
of
help
bring
this
combination
of
hyper
local,
like
they
are,
with
the
original
expertise
and
our
national
expertise
to
one
of
the
fastest
growing
communities
that
I've
recently
worked
with.
That
is
Beaufort,
County
right
and
so
part
of
the
thought
as
we
go
with
these
plans
is
looking
at
again.
Q
So
that's
the
body
of
work
and
the
experience
that
has
been
born
fraud
to
this
project,
so
quick
snapshot
of
the
planning
process
in
general.
We
look
at
this
in
three
steps
right.
Any
of
these
Master
plans
are
in
summary:
where
are
we
today?
Where
do
you
want
to
go
and
how
can
we
help
get
there
right?
So,
as
we've
gone
through
all
of
this,
that
was
the
idea
in
the
early
stages
to
assess
the
existing
conditions
which
we're
going
to
share
in
a
moment.
Ask
the
community
where
they
want
the
county
to
go.
Q
Add
in
the
trends
and
demographic
shift
that
we're
seeing
and
then
working
with
staff,
the
capital,
Improvement
recommendations,
all
the
rest
to
say
what
does
that
road
map
for
the
future?
Look
like
so
a
couple
of
ways,
one
quick
thing
to
start
as
well
play
Beaufort
County.
This
was
a
multilingual,
Ada,
accessible
and
mobile
friendly
website
that
is
still
live
as
well
82
different
languages.
Q
Every
meeting
was
publicized
here
in
advance,
so
at
the
end
of
this
process,
when
you're
about
to
adopt
the
plan,
every
Community
has
two
people
that
are
going
to
show
up
and
tell
you
I
didn't
know
about
this
plan.
Nobody
asked
me
clearly.
This
wasn't
me
valid.
Now
you
can
point
to
a
24
7,
365
mechanism
that
was
available
for
every
Community
member
from
anywhere
anytime.
Q
So
if,
after
20
months
of
this
being
available,
if
they
chose
not
to
engage,
shame
on
them,
it's
not
for
your
staff's
lack
of
trying
right
and
that's
a
big
part
of
similar
to
your
budget
process,
introducing
transparency,
also
in
the
process
that
people
know
what's
happening
and
once
the
plan's
done
it'll
be
uploaded
here
as
well.
So
people
also
get
to
continue
seeing
the
findings
and
the
results,
so
as
the
community
goes
so
well,
the
plan
and
as
I
mentioned
you're
one
of
the
fastest
growing
agencies.
Q
I
know
this
is
based
on
Census
Data,
as
well
as
esri,
Environmental,
Services,
Research,
Institute
and
census
projections.
They
are
at
best
projections
right
from
five
years
out.
The
key
point,
though,
to
recognize
here
is
national
average,
for
growth
is
about
0.75
to
0.80
you're,
almost
twice
that
right
and
continuing
to
grow
at
at
least
25
to
30
percent
higher
than
National
averages
for
the
next
15
years
right.
So
that's
a
significantly
higher
population
base
that
will
require
Recreation
and
parked
needs
that
we've
got
to
be
planning
for.
Q
In
addition
to
that,
this
is
the
eight
segment
breakdown.
The
bottom
in
blue
is
the
under
18.
All
the
way
to
the
top
is
75,
plus
the
yellow
and
the
blues.
If
you
look
at
the
extreme
right
hand,
side
2037,
that's
going
to
be
the
largest
chunk
of
the
population
and
I
refuse
to
call
them
seniors.
They
don't
behave
like
it.
It's
very
much
an
active
adult
population.
That's
going
to
be
more
than
two
out
of
five
people
in
the
county,
41
percent.
Q
At
the
same
time,
we
have
40
percent
projected
in
the
next
15
years
that
are
under
the
age
of
35.,
which
means
on
one
hand,
you're
going
to
have
active
adults.
On
the
other
hand,
families
with
young
kids
that
this
plan
has
to
look
at
from
a
multi-generational
perspective,
which
we
have
race
and
ethnicity,
continues
to
diversify
to
some
degree
about
one
in
three
people
on
average.
But
30
percent
are
what
the
census
calls
any
other
than
white
alone.
Q
Hispanic
Latino
on
the
right
hand,
side
about
one
in
seven
individuals
that
are
part
of
from
an
ethnicity
standpoint,
a
Hispanic
or
Latino
in
ethnicity,
as
we've
seen
across
the
country
as
well.
Different
race
and
ethnic
groups
also
have
different
Recreation
preferences,
and
so
the
idea
is
to
ensure
that
you're
looking
at
a
customized
approach,
county-wide
as
well,
that
meets
different
residents
and
their
needs
the
way
they
have
it.
Q
Ultimately,
though,
it's
also
a
matter
of
income
and
what's
realistic
and
affordable,
you
have
a
higher
than
average
education
level
and
a
higher
than
average
income
level
in
the
county,
which
means
what's
good
enough
in
most
places,
isn't
good
enough
in
Viva
County,
the
blue
bar
is
the
per
capita
income.
The
Orange
is
the
median
household
income
per
capita.
Is
every
individual
household?
Is
every
person
over
the
age
of
16
living
under
the
same
roof
for
both?
Q
You
are
significantly
higher
than
State
and
National
averages
certain
expectation
of
quality
and
a
certain
availability
of
disposable
income
that
this
could
potentially
bring
to
ban.
All
this
then
looks
at
the
recreation,
participation,
Trends
and
no
surprise
with
the
top
two
here,
Golf
and
Tennis.
The
red
line
is
the
national
average
of
100.
This
is
done
by
the
sports
and
facility
industry
Association
every
year.
They
look
at
this
annual
census
and
the
national
average
is
what
this
each
and
every
sport
Fitness
activity
is
compared
to
Unfortunately.
Q
They
don't
count
for
pickleball
in
this
in
this
categorization,
but
the
way
it's
grown
in
the
last
couple
years.
It's
a
matter
of
time
before
it
starts
getting
included
in
this
as
well.
This
doesn't
mean
people
participate
in
this
activity
within
the
county.
They
could
be
going
anywhere.
It
simply
means
your
constituents
like
to
participate
in
this
activity,
no
matter
where
they
go
Fitness,
a
majority
of
them
walking
for
exercise
swimming
Pilates
weight
lifting
are
all
at
or
higher
than
National
averages.
A
few
others
are
lower.
Q
Some
of
that
could
also
just
be
a
function
of
additional
indoor
Recreation
spaces
which
allow
for
a
number
of
these
activities,
which
you
as
a
county
overall,
are
deficient
as
we're
about
to
show
you
in
some
of
the
later
slides
and
then
outdoor
activity
again,
there's
a
reason.
People
want
to
be
here
and
love
being
here
as
well.
Q
M
Q
So
good
point
and
that's
why
I
said
right:
this
isn't
something
that
people
do
in
your
geography.
It
simply
means
people
living
in
Beaufort,
County
do
or
do
not
participate
in
that
activity,
no
matter
where
they
go,
so
they
could
be
doing
this
anywhere
in
the
country,
but
it
just.
This
is
a
survey
of
your
residence
that
was
undertaken
12
months
ago.
Okay,.
A
Q
Below
National
averages-
or
they
may
have
one
or
two
that
are
higher
than
national
average.
You
have
almost
six
of
the
top
ten
that
are
higher
than
National
averages,
so
specifically
I,
think
anywhere
105
or
closer
to
110
and
higher
is
significantly
higher,
most
of
them
cluster
closer
to
the
mean
right,
so
they'll
be
95,
200
or
100
to
105.
You
know
a
couple
of
them:
fishing
biking
both
are
like
close
to
110
or
almost
130.
That's
much
higher.
P
Mark
yeah,
listen,
Community
engagement
has
been
a
very
important
part
of
this
study,
as
it
should
be
to
reaching
out
to
the
community,
and
what
we
found
is
that
it's
a
community
that
cares
deeply
about
this
topic:
Recreation
of
people
with
a
lot
of
very
vocal
and
outspoken
opinions.
As
we
participated
in
this
community
engagement
process,
which
honestly
helped
us
quite
a
bit
through
the
planning
process,
because
we
can't
do
it
without
the
participate
participation
from
the
community
resident.
P
We
conducted
public
meetings
at
Buckwalter,
Burton,
Wells,
Dale,
Scott,
Lynn
Brown,
each
of
those
centers
and
the
participation
was
phenomenal.
We
had
a
lot
of
people
come
and
a
lot
of
very
outspoken
and
a
lot
of
very
verbal
comments
that
were
very
helpful
and
then
additional
meetings
with
staff
device
can
Allen
by
by
Zoom
Beaufort
County
Sports
Council
and
the
Parks
and
Recreation
advisory
committee.
So
I'm
gonna,
let
Kyle
go
over
what
we
heard
and
what
some
of
those
findings
were.
F
Thank
you
and
y'all
have
heard
this
before
we
presented
previously
to
you.
So
if
I
cover
it
too
quickly,
please
don't
hesitate
to
interrupt
me
or
throw
your
hand
up
and
ask
me
to
to
back
up
a
little
bit,
but
when
we
started
as
Mark
just
mentioned
with
the
community
engagement
meetings,
in
addition
to
the
general
input
that
we
received
sort
of
generically,
we
also
solicited
input
by
asking
three
specific
questions
and
those
were
what
are
the
strengths
of
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department.
F
J
H
F
Q
So
here's
the
thing
when
you
have
meetings
like
this
that
are
all
subjective
in
nature.
If
you
had
100
people
like
me,
show
up
you
better
believe.
The
most
important
thing
in
Beaufort
County
is
more
Cricket
fields
which
may
not
be
reflective
of
the
entire
Community,
which
is
why
you
need
a
public
opinion
survey
that
is
scientific
and
statistically
valid.
Q
That's
what
this
process
through
EDC
did
they
send
this
out
randomly
to
households
throughout
the
county
mailed
several
thousand
of
these,
because
usually
you
get
about
a
ten
percent,
maybe
15
response
rate
and
the
community
exceeded
the
goal
we
had.
The
goal
was
300
for
your
sample
size
to
be
statistically
valid.
Q
We
got
almost
20
percent
higher
than
that,
and
all
the
mumbo
jumbo
on
the
last
line
just
means
that,
for
any
process
to
be
scientific,
I
have
to
be
able
to
repeat
the
process
over
and
over
again
and
get
consistent
results,
and
what
this
tells
me
is
95
out
of
100
times.
If
I
were
to
do
the
survey,
the
results
you
will
get
will
be
in
a
margin
of
error
of
plus
or
minus
5.2
percent.
Q
The
sample
also
matches
the
demographics
of
the
community
at
large.
So
you
know
this
is
representative
of
the
larger
Community.
It's
not
taken
over
by
any
special
interest
group.
It
is
random,
it
is
anonymous
and
it
is
only
your
residence
that
I've
taken
this
survey,
unlike
anything
online
where
you
have
no
way
of
knowing
who
took
the
survey.
Q
So
this
was
done
as
a
combination
of
first
a
male
where
they
had
an
option
to
do
it
through
a
call
center
on
the
phone
and
they
had
a
one-time
use
Link
per
household
if
they
wanted
to
take
it
online.
So
that's
how
this
survey
was
administered.
I
I
emphasize
this,
because
that's
critical
and
building
trust
in
the
findings
you're
about
to
see
so
I'm
going
to
pause
for
a
moment.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
the
survey
process,
I'm
happy
to
answer
that
or
further
elaborate
okay.
Q
So
then
in
general,
this
is
in
the
last
again
right.
This
was
done
in
2022,
so
in
the
last
eight
or
nine
months
you
have
about
four
to
five
percent
higher
than
national
average
for
participation
or
visitation.
It's
about
82
nationally.
That
people
say
yes,
they
have
visited
a
park
in
the
last
two
years
or
a
recreation
facility.
Q
Overall,
the
physical
condition,
only
seven
percent
rated
it
as
poor
additional
16,
though
rated
as
fair
right
so
about
almost
one
and
four
said:
it's
fair
or
poor.
If
I'm
being
nitpicky
I
would
say
your
goal
in
the
future
ought
to
be.
Can
we
shrink
the
number
of
people
that
rate
you
as
good
and
grow
the
ones
that
say
excellent?
Q
Twenty
percent?
No
matter
what
you
do
in
life,
you
know
are
going
to
be
unhappy
with
you
right.
Some
of
it
is
perception.
Some
frankly
is
a
reality
depending
on
where
somebody
lives
in
the
county.
But
beyond
that
I
think
that's
really
the
goal
to
Aspire
for
how
they
learn
about
it.
Word
of
mouth
is
the
biggest
one
currently
followed
by
the
two
digital
tools:
Facebook
and
the
company's
website.
Q
How
they
would
like
to
learn
are
still
more
digital
tools
right
so
again,
more
and
more
as
people
see
this
as
well
for
the
younger
audiences,
if
they're
teenagers,
it's
usually
Tick
Tock,
if
they're
in
their
20s,
it's
more
Instagram,
30s
and
40s,
it
could
be
Twitter,
Pinterest,
Facebook
and
so
on.
Right
and
then
the
County
website
continues
to
be
a
go-to
Avenue
for
folks
as
well,
followed
by
email
notifications.
So
in
general
a
largely
digital
Outreach
is
what
they
would
like
to
have
in
the
future
program.
Q
Q
Those
that
have
participated,
though
only
four
percent
rated
the
programs
as
poor
right.
That's
wonderful!
If
you
get
people
they
like
it,
you
have
about
in
this
case
76.
So
more
than
three
out
of
four
have
said,
you
are
good
or
excellent.
Another
nitpicky
point:
I'd
love
to
reduce
the
ones
that
say
good
and
grow
the
ones
that
say
you're,
excellent
barriers
right.
This
is
a
great
opportunity.
Q
It's
low
hanging
fruit
and,
it's
frankly,
the
least
expensive
barrier
to
overcome
lack
of
awareness
more
than
one
in
two
people
have
said
they
don't
participate
because
of
lack
of
awareness
nationally.
This
is
always
in
the
top
three
reasons.
Frankly,
because
there's
just
so
much
out
there
right
from
you
know
all
the
activities.
People's
lives
are
busier,
all
the
rest,
but
that
average
is
about
30
to
32
percent.
Q
In
our
case,
it's
54
right,
so
I
think
dedicated
investing
in
telling
your
story
in
more
branding
and
Outreach
continue
to
look
at
ways
to
have
staff
grow.
What
you're
doing
as
well
is
certainly
going
to
help
bring
more
people
to
the
programs
as
well
to
participate
in
programs
activities
and
events
not
interested
too
busy.
Clearly,
you
can't
control
that.
Otherwise,
two
of
your
top
four
are
don't
know
what
programs
are
offered
or
not
aware
of
facility
locations.
Q
What
people
are
most
willing
to
fund
right?
That's
always
a
big
piece
here
is
trails,
and
connectivity
is
number
one
28
rated
that
in
one
of
their
top
four
choices,
develop,
Trails
connect,
existing
Trails,
develop,
walking,
biking
trails
and
the
third
one
is
developing
new
indoor,
rec
centers,
replacing
the
old
aging
ones
followed
by
a
new
family,
Aquatic
Center,
so
trails
and
Recreation
slash
aquatic
facilities
are
certainly
very
big
on
the
community's
priorities
for
funding
followed
by
the
top
rounding
of
the
top
five
is
fix.
Q
Q
They
want
you
to
spend
on
taking
care
and
improving
what
exists
right,
improve
maintain
existing
parks
and
Facilities,
followed
by
acquire
new
Parkland
and
open
space,
and
then
developing
new
indoor
pool
or
Aquatic
Facility
and
new
indoor
Rec
facility,
so
maintain
what
exists
plan
for
the
future,
with
the
growth
coming
and
then
fix,
upgrade,
add
new
recreation
facilities,
slash
aquatic
facilities
overall
value.
Again,
you
have
about
17
percent
that
are
very
dissatisfied
or
dissatisfied
cumulatively
back
to
the
80
20..
That's
always
going
to
be
there.
I
think
where
we
have.
Q
The
biggest
opportunity
is
38
today
on
neutral.
How
do
we
convert
them
into
fans?
Followers
Advocates
right,
because
the
more
they
use
it.
The
more
they're
going
to
vote
to
fund,
preserve,
protect
and
be
stewards
in
the
future
right.
So
that's
an
area
for
growth
for
us
as
well,
certainly
to
look
forward
and
then
based
on
the
pandemic.
These
are
some
encouraging
numbers
in
general,
based
on
the
pandemic.
This
is
Nationwide.
We
ask
people.
How
is
the
perception
of
value
change?
Q
What
do
you
think
of
Park
strike
Open
Spaces
now,
when
things
were
closer
in
some
places
you
didn't
have
access
for
a
period
of
time,
only
seven
percent
said
that
the
value
in
their
minds
is
decreased
compared
to
that
seven
times.
As
many
50
of
the
respondents
said
in
their
minds,
the
perception
of
value
has
increased
somewhat
or
significantly
right,
and
if
people
perceive
the
value
being
higher,
they're
willing
to
pay
for
it,
and
that's
where
we
ask
the
next
one.
Q
Only
three
percent
said:
reduce
funding
for
parks,
recreation
trails
and
open
space
17
times,
as
many
more
people
said,
increase
funding
for
parks,
recreation
trails
and
open
space
in
general.
What
we've
seen
across
the
country
is
this
has
gone
from
it's
nice.
It's
important
to.
It
is
essential
to
physical,
mental,
social
and
emotional
well-being,
quality
of
life
Talent
attraction.
If
people
can
work
from
anywhere
they
choose
where
they
get
a
great
quality
of
life
and
access
to
Recreation
and
the
outdoors,
and
that's
what
we're
seeing
in
survey
after
survey
across
the
country.
Q
N
N
N
Q
So
if
I
use
internet
questionnaires,
only
I
have
no
way
of
limiting
who
takes
it,
whether
they
live
in
the
county
or
not
versus
these
were
sent
to
household
addresses
acquired
from
within
the
county
boundaries,
and
any
response
that
came
outside
of
the
county
boundaries
was
discarded.
So
if
somebody
gave
it
to
somebody
else,
they
they
send
it
out
with
a
different
address
that
wasn't
in
the
county.
That
would
not
be
accepted,
so
only
your
residents
and
constituents
were
allowed
to
vote
or
show
their
share
their
input
for
the
future.
N
N
Q
N
Q
That's
a
great
observation
and
I'll
tell
you
to
build
on
that
point,
because
this
is
random
and
limited.
We
basically
duplicate
the
survey
questionnaire
and
through
SurveyMonkey
also
have
it
on
the
project
website.
I
showed
you
for
anybody
to
take.
So
if
any
of
your
constituents
did
not
randomly
get
the
survey
mailed,
they
still
have
the
opportunity
to
take
the
survey.
We
simply
weigh
the
responses
differently
and
in
the
report
that
we'll
get
you,
you
will
see
a
side-by-side
comparison
of
the
Internet
only
survey
and
the
statistically
valid
survey.
Q
Correct
and
if
there's
a
special
interest,
you're
right
and
if
there's
a
special
interest,
the
internet
survey
can
be
skewed
a
lot
more
by
a
certain
special
interest
group
asking
everybody
to
go,
fill
the
survey
and
you
will
see
the
differences
right,
so
that
gives
you
a
better
sense
to
say
which
ones
are
truly
Community
priorities
which
ones
are
driven
by
a
special
interest.
Group:
okay,
good!
Thank
you.
Okay,
so
very
quickly,
then
program
assessments
going
back
to
the
existing
conditions.
Q
Q
F
And,
as
Neely
mentioned
from
the
survey
that
was
completed,
one
of
the
most
important
things
to
your
constituents
is
that
you
upgrade
and
take
care
of
the
facilities
and
parks
that
you
currently
have.
So
in
order
to
understand
that
our
team
inventoried
and
assessed
all
parks
and
Facilities
within
your
purview.
The
image
on
the
left
there
that
shows
the
county.
F
All
of
the
red
dots
that
are
shown
are
the
parks
and
Facilities
that
we
visited
over
a
two-day
period
and
during
those
visits
we
inventoried
and
assessed
each
Park,
and
it
was
rated
good,
fair
or
poor,
and
then
each
facility
or
component
that's
located
within
the
park.
So
you
know
basketball,
courts,
tennis,
courts,
the
community
centers,
but
the
important
thing
was
the
overall
rating
of
the
park,
as
as
we
visited
each
of
them
independently
and
in
general.
F
F
B
F
F
In
addition,
we
created
a
unique
Park
models
for
Beaufort.
County
parks
are
a
system
of
delivery
of
Recreation
services,
and
so
how
those
are
used
in
Beaufort
County
is
entirely
unique
to
Beaufort
County
and
couldn't
apply,
for
example,
as
Mark
was
saying
in
Columbia
County
Georgia,
so
we
started
off
after
we
completed
the
inventory
developing
Park
models
that
are
specific
for
Beaufort
County
and
they
range
in
size,
starting
with
neighborhood
parks,
which
are
the
smallest
of
the
park.
F
Types,
a
quarter
to
10,
10
acres
and
some
examples
of
of
those
types
of
parks
are
Shell,
Point,
Parks,
Scott,
Community,
Center
or
Broomfield.
The
community
park
is
in
the
10
to
50
acre
range.
It's
slightly
larger.
Some
examples
of
those
are
Corson
tape,
part
left
in
Center
or
Wesley
Felix,
St,
Helena,
Park
and
then
the
largest
of
the
three
is
regional
parks
and.
Q
Q
Okay
got
it
so,
just
as
a
as
a
framework,
this
is
a
singular
structure
that
allows
you
to
see
all
that
the
community
has
access
to
it's,
not
just
what
the
county
provides.
It's
also
what
the
other
service
providers
in
the
county
provide
as
well.
This
one
go
on
the
screen.
The
column
on
the
extreme
left
is
a
park
type
Trail
or
outdoor
amenities
and
indoor
amenities
from
left
to
right.
Q
The
second
column
is
everything
that
the
county
has
itself,
based
on
the
classifications
that
Kyle
just
shared
right,
so
Neighborhood,
Community,
Regional,
Parks
and
so
on
to
its
right
are
other
service
providers
right
so
again
from
the
different
entities
held
in
that
Islands,
an
example
as
well.
What
are
the
cities
also
provide
offerings
within
the
county
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
total
inventory
and
then
against
your
current
and
your
future
populations?
What
does
that
translate
to
in
terms
of
a
level
of
service?
Q
So
what
we
have
here
in
that
shaded
green
area
is
what
is
a
recommended
level
of
service
in
the
future,
based
on
your
community's
responses,
based
on
demographic
shifts
and
based
on
Recreation
trends.
So
what
that
allows
you
to
do
then,
is
2022
So
currently
and
in
five
year
increments,
27
and
2032.
You
can
see
if
you
build
nothing
else.
Q
Q
Q
Yeah,
so
this
is
how
each
of
these
Equity
maps
and
I
know
Mark.
You
have
a
comment
to
make
so
I'll
call
on
you
in
a
moment
here,
but
the
way
this
map
reads
on
the
top
left
is
the
legend
that
says
what
amenity
is
shown
in
this
case.
The
top
left
is
neighborhood
parks
on
the
top
right
is
the
recommended
level
of
service
that
says
it's
half
an
acre
per
thousand
people
is
the
standard.
Q
Q
So
if
the
park
were
one
acre
in
size
based
on
the
standard
of
half
an
acre
per
thousand,
the
ring
would
go
out
till
it
captures
two
thousand
people
in
it.
If
it's
on
half
an
acre
park,
it
would
go
out
and
it
captures
a
thousand
people.
The
reason
this
is
valuable
is
because
it
also
factors
in
density
of
population.
P
You
want
to
add
something:
Mark
yeah,
so
one
of
the
fun
things
that
we're
beginning
to
do
is
we
look
at
these
maps
and
identify
gaps
in
service
area
is
begin
to
think
how
we
address
the
needs
for
the
more
rural
areas
in
the
county.
If
you
look
at
the
top
of
the
map,
you
see
those
three
parks.
There
are
basically
serving
the
Sheldon
and
Dale
area
right
and
then
just
below
that
you
see
two
green
circles
that
are
on
ladies
Island
and
below
that
and
to
the
right
one
on
Saint
Helena
Island.
P
So
if
we
begin
to
look
at
those
areas
that,
as
Kyle
mentioned,
are
geographically
isolated
because
of
the
way
the
rivers
and
streams
about
our
County,
we
begin
to
think
about
access
to
Recreation,
as
it
relates
to
Creeks
marshes
and
Geographic
boundaries.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
we're
going
to
do
when
we
look
at
the
service
areas
on
ladies
Dale
and
Sheldon,
they
brought
up
in
the
north
ladies
island
in
the
East
and
then
Saint
Helena
Island
to
the
to
the
east
and
south.
D
A
Q
That
a
half
an
acre
per
1000
people
for
one
thousand
correct:
that's
for
neighborhood
parks.
In
addition
to
that,
this
is
Community
Park,
which
is
two
acres
per
thousand
people
right.
That's
in
addition
to
the
half,
an
acre
for
neighborhood
parks.
So
here
you
can
see.
If
you
look
just
in
the
north
of
the
county,
there
seemed
to
be
significant
gaps.
If
you
look
at
each
map
by
itself,
they
seem
underserved.
Q
Q
Q
And
undeveloped
natural
resource
Park,
so
this
is
again
an
area
to
explore
as
well
where
we
have
gaps
in
natural
resource
areas.
The
community
and
I
know
you
all
are
obviously
investing
and
talking
about
that
as
well.
The
Community
Values
that
too,
in
terms
of
access
to
natural
and
Open
Spaces,
is
the
potential
for
some
of
this
undeveloped
space
to
be
only
mildly
developed
where
there
is
still
room
for
Passive
Recreation
that
the
community
wants
and
desires
right.
Q
So
it's
looking
at
each
of
these
Maps
individually
and
then
together
to
see
County
wide
across
all
these
amenities.
What
might
be
that
best
fit
for
each
type
of
recreation
use
based
on
different
parts
of
the
geographic
distribution
in
the
county?
So
far,
so
good,
okay,
special
purpose,
inherently.
These
are
special
purpose,
one-off
sites,
so
this
is
simply
documenting
where
they
are.
Q
Q
Unpaved
Trails
also
some
overlaps
and
some
gaps
as
well.
So
as
we
plan
for
the
future,
this
gives
you
and
the
staff
a
very
defensible
approach
to
be
able
to
look
at
this
transparently
and
see.
Where
are
they
gaps?
Where
might
be
better
connect?
What
already
exists
to
what's
new
that's
going
to
be
built
because,
ultimately,
what
the
community
wants
is
connectivity.
Q
Skate
parks,
splash,
pads
and
dog
parks,
so
you
can
see
a
number
of
these.
We
mentioned
dog
parks,
Splash
Pad,
Trails,
indoor,
Rec
spaces,
where
quantity
deficient.
Now,
if
you
think
of
Meeting
those
needs,
you
can
also
look
at
access
to
say
where
might
be
provide
for
those
kinds
of
amenities
in
the
future.
Q
Q
Q
Do
you
have
a
need
for
this?
Yes
or
no,
and
to
what
extent
is
your
need
being
met,
those
that
say
they
have
a
need
that
is
unmet
and
state
that
something
is
important
to
them.
That
becomes
a
high
priority,
so
I
know
for
a
fact
in
Beaufort,
County
Cricket
fields
are
a
huge
unmet
needle,
but
they're
important
to
five
people.
Q
Q
It's
simply
saying
in
this
case
they
may
be
a
lower
unmet
need
compared
to
the
other
amenities.
So
what
you
see
on
the
top
natural
areas,
wildlife,
habitats,
Green
Space,
is
the
highest
combination
of
importance
and
unmet
need
water
access,
no
surprise,
paved
walking,
hiking
trails,
Nature,
Center
and
nature
trails,
Indoor,
Aquatic
and
swimming
facilities
fishing
areas,
and
then
this
was
a
surprise
for
me.
Shooting
ranges
for
guns
and
archery
one
among
the
high
priorities
too.
So
we
zoomed
in
to
show
you
just
the
high
priorities
here.
These
are
all
your
high
priorities.
Q
Look
at
three
from
the
bottom
senior
centers
indoor,
gyms,
Community,
Rec
Center.
Basically
they
are
all
indoor
Recreation
spaces,
essentially
right.
All
of
them
are
high
priorities,
three
above
that
indoor
walking
jogging
track
and
then
slightly
higher
up
Indoor
Aquatic
swimming
facilities.
Six
of
your
top
high
priorities
can
literally
be
one
facility
with
Recreation
Aquatics,
multi-generation
multi-purpose,
all
together
trails
and
connectivity
balance
of
active
passive
space.
Q
Q
Similarly,
we
did
that
for
programs
as
well,
and
in
that
case
too,
adult
adult
day
trips
senior
four
of
your
top
five
are
shaped
by
essentially
your
population
demographic
shifts,
as
I
said,
41
of
the
population
is
going
to
be
over
the
age
of
55..
Most
agencies
I
know,
do
a
great
job
meeting
the
youth
needs.
Q
It's
often
either
the
teenagers,
because
they
don't
want
any
structured
recreation
or
it's
the
families
who,
in
my
case,
I'm
more
of
an
Uber
driver
for
my
kids,
going
from
one
class
or
one
activity
to
the
other
or
the
active,
or
does
that
don't
often
get
served
as
well.
So
where
can
we
create
more
of
these
multi-generational
opportunities
and
let
programs
Drive
future
facility
and
capital
design?
Q
That's
going
to
be
the
key,
but
last
thing
before
then
we
get
into
the
final
recommendations
is
looking
at
the
sports
tourism
strategy
as
a
part
of
this,
as
well
looking
at
the
fact
that
you
already
are
a
wonderful
destination
and
just
by
way
of
background
I
worked
at
Disney
at
the
Wide
World
of
Sports.
I
was
part
of
the
team
for
the
Super
Bowl
in
Indianapolis.
Q
Worked
for
the
Olympics
in
Greece
and
was
also
part
of
the
local
organizing
committee
for
the
college
football
championship
in
Indianapolis,
where
the
dogs
won
you're,
welcome,
Shannon
and
I'm.
Now
part
of
the
NBA
All-Star
host
committee
as
well.
So
I
speak
from
that
all
those
lenses
in
terms
of
the
mega
events
and
the
local
ones
as
well
as
we
looked
at
some
of
these
Avenues
and
obviously
you
have
some
Investments
that
are
going
in
place.
Buck
Walters
got
Fields
coming
in
burden
world's
got
feels
coming
in
generally.
Q
Q
Everybody
with
an
earshot
of
you
is
building
bigger,
more
all
the
time
right
and
so
part
of
the
goal,
and
something
like
this
is
not
to
duplicate
what
someone
else
is
doing.
Unless
you
can
do
it
10
times
bigger
than
them,
and
to
see
what
is
not
being
served
at
all
that
we
may
be
able
to
look
at
and
leverage
the
fact
that
you
already
are
a
destination.
Q
Q
Girls
volleyball,
because
when
a
guy
plays
there's
one
person
that
goes
with
him
when
a
girl
plays
the
whole
family
goes
with
her,
and
so
we
had
significantly
more
heads
on
Bad
theme
parks,
all
sorts
of
stuff
economic
impact
in
general
and
then
again
pickleball
as
it
continues
to
grow.
Is
that
another
opportunity
to
think
about
as
well?
Q
Q
You
know
baseball
and
softball
certainly
a
demand.
You
continue
to
have
tournaments.
It's
not
going
away.
It's
here
to
stay,
but
the
Specialty
Sports
are
where
we
really
think
there's
opportunities
for
you
to
explore
and
look
into
archery
shooting,
Beach
and
sand
volleyball
right
a
lot
of
things
that
don't
require
you
to
build
a
whole
bunch
of
facilities
where
your
natural
infrastructure
can
help
a
lot
more
as
well.
Skateboarding
BMX,
Road,
cycling,
sport,
climbing.
Q
So
we
have
all
this
outline
in
the
report.
We
have
some
estimations
in
terms
of
how
many
tournament
days,
how
many
participants
estimated
spending
over
five
years,
what
that
can
result
in,
but
in
a
nutshell,
the
idea
would
be
looking
at
one.
Where
can
you
generate
return
on
investment
without
spending
significant
amounts
of
capital
up
front,
so
you're
prioritizing
the
community
use
and
sports
tourism,
and
where
are
there
gaps
and
Niche
sports
that
you
could
look
at
versus
simply
competing
with
the
others
on
the
same
team
sports
that
everybody
else
is
already
doing
so?
Q
Not
very
many
and
that's
the
thing
why
there's
an
advantage
I
wouldn't
have
gone
down
that
rabbit
hole
looking
into
it,
if
not
for
the
fact
that,
in
your
priority
investment
ratings,
the
community,
rated
archery
shooting
ranges
as
a
high
priority
higher
than
an
outdoor
Amphitheater
or
even
Community,
Gardens
wow.
So
that's
where
it
sort
of
got
us
thinking
more
into
that
as
well
is
archery,
an
area
that,
because
there
is
such
a
gap
in
from
a
sports
tourism
standpoint,
people
aren't
doing
it.
It's
an
Olympic
sport.
It's
going
to
be
there.
P
B
P
That
I
think
we
should
keep
in
mind
as
we
think
about
sports
tourism
is
what
parks
do
you
have
in
place
today
that
can
be
good
host
sites
for
those,
so
that
you're
serving
your
local
population,
your
local
residents,
as
well
as
creating
a
framework
for
Economic,
Development
and
Tourism
and
and
you've
got
three
great
sort
of
regional
parks,
Buckwalter
Burton,
Wells
and
Oscar
Frazier.
All
Oscar
Frazier
is
already
being
used
for
tournaments,
but
the
others
have
have
tremendous
opportunities.
P
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
them
as
they
relate
to
some
of
these
new
tournament
opportunities
that
needle
is
talking
about,
particularly
at
Burton
Wells,
great
opportunities
for
some
of
those
softer
sort
of
archery
and
and
disc
golf,
and
things
of
that
nature
that
if
you
could
develop
those
facilities,
you'd
have
a
great
opportunity
and
you
fill
a
niche.
But
unlike
softball,
there's
tremendous
competition
in
building
and
operating
tournament.
P
Softball
facilities
throughout
the
county
I
mean
throughout
the
state
and
Southeast
where
cities
and
counties
who
don't
have
the
beach
and
the
natural
draw
that
we
have
have
been
building
tournament.
Facilities
to
attract
residents
for
economic
development
I
mean
yeah
Recreation
activity
for
economic
development.
If.
P
B
P
P
Yeah,
okay.
So
thank
you.
That's
a
very
good
observation.
So
what
what
we
do
when
we
start
to
look
at
Capital,
Improvement
Investments,
is
take
all
of
the
information
that
we've
received
today.
That
Nile
has
gone
over
the
Kyle's
gone
over
and
we
begin
to
think
about
the
park
models
and
we
think
how
do
we
mail,
those
together
where
we
can
take
advantage
of
your
existing
physical
assets
and
bring
in
some
of
the
recreation
needs
that
have
been
in
the
master
plan
throughout
the
planning
process,
because
you've
got
good
assets
today
in
terms.
P
Plants,
so
how
do
we
maximize
the
value
of
those
and
then
what
do
we
do
outside
of
those
existing
assets?
So
we'll
talk
about
two
sort
of
groups
of
opportunities
for
you?
First
is
in
the
existing
Parks.
You've
got
11
neighborhood
parks
we'll
go
through
those.
The
improvements
we're
projecting
there
in
all
of
those
Parks
is
about
10.5
million
dollars,
and
you
see
that
at
the
top
of
the
slide
we're
going
to
go
through
each
of
these
as
we
as
we
walk
through
it.
First
Agnes
major
and
Booker
T
Washington.
P
P
The
recreation
service
in
that
very
rural
area
in
the
Northern
Parkway
of
Agnes
major
centers
in
poor
condition,
needs
to
be
improved
same
for
Booker
T
Washington.
You've
got
a
lot
of
these
centers
in
the
county
that
really
you've
had
deferred
maintenance
honestly
over
the
years
and
need
to
be
improved
and
are
in
poor
condition,
but
at.
M
P
So
the
next
is
the
Broomfield
Center,
and
this
on,
ladies
island,
is
an
interesting
sort
of
anomaly
and
when
you
begin
to
think
about
some
of
these
centers,
where
you've
built
centers
throughout
the
county,
many
of
which
may
not
be
in
need
Broomfield,
is
one
of
those
There's
an
opportunity
to
improve
course
and
Tade.
We're
looking
at
improving
two
Community
neighborhood
parks
to
elevate
them
to
be
more
Regional
in
the
way
they
deliver
Services.
One
is
course
and
date
on.
P
C
H
P
Come
to
that
one
in
a
minute
they
could
also
fall
into
that
category.
Bruce
Edgerly,
Port,
Royal,
Center,
a
nice
facility
there's
some
improvements
that
are
being
made
now.
We
are
pleased
to
see
those
who
encourage
those
improvements
to
go
forward,
add
paid
parking,
add
ball
field
lights
and
a
couple
of
other
improvements
there
Charles.
H
P
Quite
old,
it
does
have
some
structural
and
some
other
sort
of
Integrity
problems
to
the
building
to
the
structure
itself.
There
are
some
Renovations
that
are
going
on
now.
I
think
that
those
are
fine,
ultimately
we'd
like
to
see
this
facility
be
removed
and
replaced.
It's
serving
a
very
important
constituent
population.
P
P
P
Well,
the
building
was
yeah
Dale,
a
really
nice
Center
well
located
in
serving
the
population.
Well,
we've
got
a
few
improvements
in
recommendations
there
for
improvement.
That
was
one
of
our
community
meetings.
We
met
in
this
facility
very
well
attended.
David
Smith
is
the
other
one
that
is
on
ladies
Island,
and
this.
P
Not
being
well
used
and
it
could
be
excluded
from
your
system
and
not
renew
that
lease
Francis
Jones
is
on
dafusky
island.
It's
fine,
there's
some
improvements
that
have
been
made
there
and
new
improvements
that
are
being
considered
as
you
move
forward.
We
think
those
are
good
glory,
pot's
a
really
nice
center.
P
It's
renovations
to
the
kitchen
have
just
been
completed
and
the
need
to
improve
the
parking
in
there.
A
couple
of
other
minor
improvements
included.
Shell
points,
good
condition,
a
very
nice
park
in
that
neighborhood
meeting
the
need.
There
are
a
couple
of
recommendations
there
Scott
now
Scott
is
another
one
of
these
centers.
That's
kind
of
been
we've
been
struggling
with
this
one.
To
be
honest
with
you,
what
to
do
there
so.
H
P
Given
you
three
options:
go
to
option
three:
don't
renew
the
lease
and
move
the
activity
here
to
Wesley
Felix,
we
think
St,
Helena,
Park
and
Wesley
Felix
could
be
improved
with
a
small
gym
and
Community
Center.
It
really
could
be
a
wonderful
way
to
meet
the
needs
on
Saint
Helena
Island.
If
you
look
at
the
map,
the
dot
on
the
right
is
Wesley
Felix.
P
Shows
another
just
improved
the
center
of
the
basketball,
tennis
and
one
of
the
ball
fields.
There's
two
ball
fields
at
Scott:
one
is
across
the
road
and
one
is
adjacent
to
to
the
center
option.
One
would
keep
one
of
those
and
then
option
two
would
be
relinquish
both
of
the
ball.
All
of
the
outdoor
Playing
Fields
had
just
improved
the
center.
Keep
in
mind
that
if
you
have
ball
fields,
there
you're
really
beginning
to
tax
your
maintenance
Crews
to
go
out
and
go
and
maintain
those
facilities.
When
really
they
aren't
getting
the.
P
P
P
Center
wow,
what
a
great
asset
in
Bluffton
a
great
Recreation
asset.
It's
got
soccer.
It's
got
a
gym.
It's
used
as
a
Civic
building
for
quite
a
lot
of
activities,
there's
some
recommendations
for
improvements
there
at
a
splash
pad.
We
still
have
a
lot
of
interest
in
your
community
meetings
and
survey
for
water-based
Recreation,
we're
doing
a
lot
of
splash
pads
throughout
the
southeast,
where
they
are
a
great
way
to
deliver
water-based
Recreation
at
a
more
affordable
way.
P
H
P
The
community
Parks
we're
recommending
that
it
be
expanded
to
be
a
little
more
Regional
and
the
way
it
delivers
Recreation
services
at
a
gym,
a
small
community
center
gym,
thirty
thousand,
not
the
big
Burton,
Wells
or
Buckwalter
size
facilities,
dog
park
and
a
couple
of
other
facilities.
So
with
course,
and
tape
and
Wesley
Felix.
You.
M
M
P
H
H
P
Riley
another
great
facility,
quite
old,
but
some
of
the
facilities.
There
are
very
nice.
The
The
Pavilion
you
see
on
the
bottom
left
wow.
What
a
really
cool
and
well-loved
facility
ball
fields
need
to
be
reconfigured
so
that
they're
easier
to
operate
and
maintain
concession
in
the
middle
new
concession
said
that
they're
more
more
traditional
I
mean
conventional.
The
way
they
deliver
Services
Wesley
Felix
is
the
other
Park.
P
So
that's
the
community
Parks
now
Regional
Parks,
they're,
three
or
four
of
those
in
the
county,
recommending
about
close
to
forty
thousand
40
million
in
improvements
there
Buckwalter
wow,
what
a
great
Recreation
asset
in
the
middle
of
Bluffton
current
plans
call
for
adding
four,
ultimately
artificial
turf
fields.
There
this
facility
is
very
heavily
used.
You
have
a
tremendous
Demand
on
soccer,
it's
hard
to
keep
that
term
alive
and
healthy
and
vibrant.
P
P
Is
well
loved
and
got
tremendous
positive
feedback
from
the
constituents
that
we
hold
renovate
the
existing
restrooms
that
are
out
by
the
soccer
field
is
recommended
to
expand
that
with
concessions
at
a
maintenance
facility
and
then
complete
the
tennis
center.
If
you
notice
the
master
plan
at
the
top,
the
left
end
of
that
sort
of
Panhandle,
there
is
a
tennis
center,
which
is
meeting
a
would
would
go
to
beat
a
tremendous
demand
in
the
Bluffton
region
could
be
a
very
nice
addition.
P
M
P
M
P
P
P
P
P
P
Third
baseball
field
there,
together
with
the
three
on
the
left,
you'll,
have
a
facility
that
could
be
used
for
regional
tournaments
here
and
serve
your
local
constituents
as
well
as
the
soccer
you've
got
a
pretty
significant
soccer
presence
here,
the
gymnasiums
there's
such
demand.
There
you'll
be
recommending
the
additional
gymnasium
space
and
then
to
address
a
lot
of
the
sports
tourism
opportunities.
Climbing
walls,
zip
lines,
indoor
outdoor
archery,
shooting
ranges,
BMX
biking,
sand
volleyball.
All
of
these
things
would
fit
very
nicely
in
Burton
Wells.
P
P
P
Them
you've
had
some
roof
difficulties,
continue
to
renovate
those
they're
important,
very
important
assets.
I
mean
we're
County,
surrounded
by
water.
If
we
can't
engage
our
children
in
swimming,
then
I
think
we're
Miss
serving
our
our
residents
and
wow
what
a
great
opportunity
to
teach
our
kids,
how
to
swim
and
and
have
that
as
a
recreation
opportunity,
meds
field
another.
Now
this
is
sort
of
an
anomaly.
It's
a
field
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
neighborhood,
very
little
parking,
it's
hard
to
use.
P
P
Great
asset,
Camp,
Saint,
Mary
wow
I
would
encourage
you
to
support
passive
Parks
programming
there
on
that
site
and
then
other
facilities
outside
of
your
existing
parks
that
had
a
high
priority
rating.
That
really
do
need
to
be
addressed
as
a
recommendation
for
a
Indoor,
Aquatic
and
swimming
facility,
and
more
than
just
what
you
have
in
your
three
pools,
but
really
an
indoor
Aquatics
facility
and
finding
a
home
for
that
it
might
be
in
the
okatee
area.
P
Ranges
for
both
guns
and
archery
I
scored
very
high
in
your
public
opinion
survey.
I
know,
you've
said
you've
been
some
a
lot
of
controversy
about.
You
know
if
you
want
to
do
shooting
ranges
in
in
Beaufort
County,
but
your
constituents
found
it
to
be
high
ranked
or
it
did
great
right,
indoor,
walking
and
jogging
very
popular.
You
have
the
example
at
Burton.
Well,
I
mean
Buckwalter
in
the
bottom.
You
know
if
you
could
build
the
new
gyms,
that
Wesley
Felix,
St,
Helen
and
Corson
Tate
certainly
should
include
those
in
those
centers
As.
P
You
move
forward
outdoor
Amphitheater,
we
mentioned
the
Burton
Wells
has
got
that
great
Amphitheater
opportunity
at
the
end
of
the
lake.
You
could
improve
that
to
become
a
great
venue
for
events,
outdoor
Aquatics
and
swimming.
We
think
that
those
are
very
important.
You
need
a
pool,
an
outdoor
pool
somewhere,
another
one,
perhaps
at
Wesley
Felix
St
Helen-
is
that
Center
is
expanded
and
then
seniors.
P
We
think
that
the
seniors
programming
at
Wesley,
Felix
and
Corson
Tate
should
be
very
much
part
of
the
program.
As
you
add
those
and
then
the
indoor
gyms
there
as
well
and
then
finally
community
centers,
the
two
at
Wesley
Felix
in
Corson,
Tate
and
then
splash
pads,
add
those
to
Burton
wells
in
Bluffton.
I
H
P
P
Don't
think
that
they
would
be
if
you
compared
the
maintenance
of
a
pool
to
a
splash
pad,
there's
a
lot
of
Maintenance.
It
goes
annual
maintenance.
It
goes
into
a
pool
as
well.
Certainly
the
capital
Improvement
or
the
investment
would
be
less
for
a
Splash
Pad,
but
you
should
maintain
the
pumps
in
the
system.
What
we
typically
recommend
is
a
race
circulating
system,
which
means
that
you
don't
it's
not
potable
water,
that's
being
discharged
and
very
wasteful,
but
you
recirculate
the
system.
P
I
M
M
P
M
P
H
M
H
C
P
H
P
Total
Capital
Improvement
costs
it's
about
100
million
I'd,
say
10-year
plan
10
million
a
year
or
something
like
that
wow
as
you
begin
to
go
forward.
So
what
we
want
to
do
now
is
just
open
it
up
for
questions
yeah
next
steps,
we're
going
to
modify
we'll
continue
to
take
input
through
staff
from
you
and
we'll
modify
and
finalize
the
plan.
P
P
A
C
P
Side
of
it,
the
the
well
when
you
talk
about
water
parks,
water
parks
can
get
very
large
if
you're
going
to
do
a
water
park
with
water,
slides
and
play
structures
in
in
standing
water
and
all
of
that
I
think
it
becomes
Regional.
And
then
you
should
do
sort
of
a
regional
program.
If
you're
talking
about
splash
pads,
those
can
be
spread
out
and
done,
they're
smaller
and
you
can
do
those
more
regionally
throughout
the
county.
So
thank
you.
O
H
P
M
P
Good
question:
Bert
Wells,
is
a
really
a
unique
piece
of
land,
our
firmed
at
the
original
master
plan.
Back
in
how
do
you
know,
maybe
2
000
I'm,
trying
to
remember
when
it
was
done,
and
now
we've
recently
done
this
update.
If
you
look
at
the
core
of
that
piece
of
land
there,
it's
primarily
Wetland,
but
it's
not
salt
marsh
Wetland.
It's
wooded
Wetland
and
it's
beautiful
wooded
Wetland.
So
you
think
it.
H
P
P
C
P
M
C
H
A
A
Is
that
something
that
that
you
all
recommend
is
say
if
we
don't
have
the
cash
to
do
it,
whether
that's
something
that
talk
about
archery,
you
know
supplying
land
for
a
a
third
party
to
come
in
and
actually
run
an
archery
facility
or
the
the
the
the
Putt-Putt
golf
thing
that
that
you
have
on
there
right.
How
does
that
work
into
your
study?
Or
is
that
something
you
just
look
at
County
facilities
run
by
the
county
maintained
by
the
county
paid
for
that
have
been
Services
towards
the
the
public?
No.
P
I
think
public-private
Partnerships
are
a
great
way
to
begin
to
meet
some
of
the
demand
that
we've
identified
so
we're
identifying
the
demand
and
then
the
next
step
is
begin
to
think
about
strategies
for
implementation,
but
public-private
Partnerships
are
commonly
used
in
the
recreation
industry,
not
only
for
recreation
facilities,
but
for
food
and
beverage.
It's
not
uncommon
for
Recreation
departments
to
partner
with
private
sector
to.
P
Q
Couple
of
suggestions
as
well:
there
are
specific
entities
called
one
of
them.
Is
a
sports
facility,
Authority
sfla,
that
they
are
basically
in
the
business
of
running
sports
facilities,
for
you
right,
so
you've
got
the
land
you
build
them
and
their
goal
is
to
help
run
that
in
a
way
that
promotes
Financial
sustainability
and,
of
course,
tourism.
Q
There's
an
entity
called
go
a
that
actually
works
with
Park
and
Recreation
agencies.
There's
one
in
Indianapolis
you're
welcome
to
come
visit
me
I'd,
love
to
take
you
there,
but
we've
got
our
version
of
you
know.
Burden
was
in
Buckwalter
called
Eagle,
Creek
Park,
in
which
they've
designed
an
entire
zipline
course,
and
they
essentially
run
as
a
third
party
vendor
in
the
regional
park
in
the
city.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
these
opportunities
in
terms
of
providers.
Q
You
don't
have
to
be
all
things
to
all
people
right.
What
you
have
is
the
asset
in
terms
of
land,
and
you
know,
depending
on
each
of
these
kinds
of
offerings.
The
partnership
could
certainly
look
very
different,
but
we're
seeing
more
and
more
of
these
from
Healthcare
and
insurance
providers
to
not
only
be
used
as
a
facility,
but
also
be
partners
in
terms
of
naming
rights
and
corporate
sponsorships
because
of
the
wellness
component.
And
then
you
have
third
party
vendors
and
operators
that
can
actually
run
these
for
you
as
well.
So.
N
D
To
hear
the
report
and
be
advised
that
the
administration
will
be
bringing
recommendations
on
a
funding
plan
for
paying
for
some
of
these
improvements,
many
of
a
lot
of
the
improvements
are
already
underway.
They
were
mentioned
here
and
we're
making
some
other
modifications
to
the
overall
structure
and
organization
of
Parks
and
Recreation
as
well,
and
we'll
be
reporting
back
to
you
on
those
very
short
ones:
okay,
yeah.
