The
next
section
is
send
us
some
comments.
Is
there
anyone
who
wishes
to
address
the
executive
committee
this
time.
A
None
we
move
on
to
item
number
seven
on
our
agenda,
which
is
a
discussion
to
ratify
an
amendment
to
the
creation
agreement
for
membership
and
representation
to
the
Low
Country
Council
of
government
boards
to
increase
Beaufort
County's
representation.
Sabrina
Graham
executive
director
of
low
Cog
will
make
that
presentation
if
she's
present.
My
understanding
is
the
purpose
because
of
the
reapportionment
done
in
2020
that
our
our
population
in
Beaufort
County
population,
increased
relative
to
other
counties
in
low
Cog
and
we
are
entitled
to
additional
representation,
is
Mr
Graham
president,
yes
she's
coming
forward.
G
G
Members
what's
proposed
is
29
members
on
the
board.
Beaufort
County,
initially
had
eight
members
and
based
on
the
growth
in
population
with
each
year,
has
come
to
11
members.
If
we
were
to
continue
with
the
same
proposal
based
on
an
increase
in
membership
per
20,
000
members
in
population,
Beaufort
County
would
have
14
members
on
the
Cog
board,
which
would
be
very
disproportionate
to
all
of
the
other
counties.
G
So
what
is
proposed
for
you
today
is
that
we
cap
the
membership
at
the
11
that
we
currently
have
for
Beaufort,
County,
Hampton
and
Colleton
County
would
remain
at
six
members
and
Jasper.
Who
currently
has
five
would
go
to
six,
so
we
would
have
a
total
of
29
members
again
11
for
Beaufort
and
six
for
Carlton,
Hampton
and
Jasper
counties.
The
membership
still
includes
for
each
County,
one
minority
representative
and
one
at
large
member,
and
also,
if
you
have
municipalities
with
populations
of
1501
15,
yes,
I
said
it
right,
1501
or
greater.
G
They
are
entitled
to
one
member.
So
in
Beaufort
County
you
have
a
representative
from
the
city
of
Beaufort,
Bluffton,
Port,
Royal
and
Hilton
Head
Island.
That's
a
part
of
that
11
membership
for
Beaufort,
County
and
I'm
happy
to
go
into
greater
detail.
I
believe
you
all
had
in
your
packets.
This
information,
or
certainly
I,
can
take
any
questions
you
might
have.
A
H
G
It
varies
by
county
for
Colleton
County,
for
example,
the
city
of
Walterboro
has
a
member.
The
town
of
Edisto
has
an
advisory
member
and
Yemassee,
which
sits
in
half
of
the
two
counties
has
an
advisory
member
for
Hampton.
There
are
I,
believe
four
counties:
four
municipalities,
I'm
sorry
that
has
a
member
on
the
board
and
who
am
I
leaving
out
Jasper.
They
also
both
of
the
municipalities.
There
also
have
a
member
on
the
board
so.
H
There
are
four
members
in
Hampton:
did
you
say
yes,
four
municipalities
into
the
six?
Yes.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
the
other
two
hardyville
is
represented
as
part
of
Jasper.
Is
that
correct?
Yes,
sir
and
then
similarly
Embassy
is
represented
as
part
of
Colleton
yeah.
A
Got
you
okay,
thank
you.
Any
other
questions
or
comments,
questions
and
counsel.
Before
we
ask
before
I
asked
promotion,
Mr,
Paul.
C
You
know
I
I,
understand
the
problem
of
mushrooming
population
and
how
that
affects
the
number
of
people,
but
it
does
seem
to
me
that
in
all
other
Realms,
when
that
happens,
you
go
back
to
awarding
the
seats
based
on
the
populations,
not
freezing
them
at
some
point
in
time.
So
you
know
I
know
in
the
past
we
were
about
half
of
maybe
we
were
half
of
the
population
now,
obviously
more
than
that,
but
we're
really
talking
about
being
whatever
it
is.
A
third
of
the
representation.
So
I'm
not
clear.
C
G
I'm
not
sure
if
I
fully
understand
your
question,
it's
based
on
population
but
capped
at
a
number
that
would
be
manageable
and
I
think
fair
and
representation
of
the
of
the
four
counties,
but
it
is
still
based
on
population.
So.
G
C
So
we
have
whatever
that
percentage
is
70
or
80
and
we
would
have
about
35
or
40
percent
of
the
representation.
So
I
still
not
it's
not
clear
to
me.
Why
that
why
that's
a
good
thing
for
Beaufort
County,
yeah.
G
I
can
certainly
defer
to
the
Cog
board
members
that
are
on
the
Beaver,
County
Council
I,
believe
the
effort
was
made,
and
there
were
several
meetings
in
the
discussion
to
make
sure
that
everyone
had
good
representation
and
worked
again
together
as
a
region
and
that
the
other
counties
also
had
representation.
I
Yeah
and
Thomas
Graham's
Point.
What
Stuart's
getting
at
is
is
that
he
feels
like,
if
you
have
a
county,
should
dominate
the
the
membership
of
the
board
to
to
a
greater
extent
than
what's
being
proposed,
and
our
discussion
at
the
Cog
board,
the
board
of
directors
we
tried
to.
We
tried
to
formulate
the
board
so
that
everybody
has
equal
well,
it
is
not
equal
but
a
fair
representation.
So
therefore,
we
came
up
with
the
11
for
Beaufort
and
six
for
the
other
forms
municipalities.
A
Any
other
questions,
Miss
Graham,
all
right
hearing,
none
I'll
ask
for
a
motion
to
to
approve
to
ratify
the
amendment
for
the
change
in
the
membership
of
low
COG.
I
A
We
need
to
have
a
roll
call
on
this,
or
can
we
approve
it
without
checks?
I'm,
okay,
with
it?
Okay,
for
that
all
right
without
objection,
then
we'll
does
this
need
to
go
to
full
Council
I?
Think
it
does
yes,
sir.
That's
what
I
thought?
Okay,
so
we'll
the
motion
would
be
to
move
it,
to
move
it
to
council
for
a
final
approval.
So
without
objection,
then
we'll
really
do
exactly
that
we'll
approve
it
and
to
move
move
forward
to
council.
A
Thank
you.
Miss.
Graham
item
number.
Eight,
thank
you,
which
is
recommend
approval
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
chapter
2,
article
6
division,
three
section
2-347,
the
Beaufort
County
code
of
ordinance
is
establishing
entry-level
salaries
for
certain
elected
officials,
including
members
of
Catholic,
excluding
members
of
County
Council.
Let
me
point
out
this
is
Scott.
Marshall
is
going
to
talk
to
us
a
little
bit
about
this.
A
This
is
the
this
is
information
only
we're
not
going
to
vote
on
anybody's
salary
today,
but
we
are
going
to
get
a
background
of
the
context
of
what
what
the
current
numbers
look
like
for
the
similar
counties
throughout
the
state
and
what
the
current
starting
salaries
are
for
entry-level
folks
in
these
positions.
A
So
after
we've
had
the
presentations
today
and
any
questions
that
you
all
may
have,
then
in
the
next
step,
what
I'm
suggesting
is
that
we
come
back
and
with
recommendations,
hopefully
from
staff,
on
what
those
numbers
should
look
like
and,
of
course
many
council
member
can
weigh
in
at
that
time
if
they
think
it
should
be
different
from
the
staff
representation
Marshall.
You
have
the
floor.
Thank.
J
You
Mr
chairman
good
afternoon
and
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
executive
committee.
The
chairman,
is
correct.
The
title
of
that
agenda
item
is
a
bit
misleading,
we're
not
asking
you
to
approve
an
ordinance
or
are
recommending
approval
of
an
ordinance
at
this
time.
This
information
is
presented
to
you
as
information.
J
Only
at
the
request
of
some
council
members
and
the
information
that
was
requested
was
to
compare
our
elected
officials
salary,
the
offices
for
whom
you
set
entry
level,
pay
per
Beaufort,
County
or
events
to
compare
those
entry
level,
salaries
with
counties
that
are
in
the
tier
one,
as
determined
by
the
South
Carolina
Association
of
County.
So
that's
what
we've
done.
There
are
a
few
different
sets
of
data
in
here
they
can
be
confusing
if
you
don't
read
the
fine
print
on
all
of
them,
but
I
can
boil
this
down
pretty
quickly.
J
Did
you
we?
We
did
not?
Okay,
no
sir,
but
it
it
occurred
to
me
that
this
was
probably
a
better
explanation
than
anything
we
had
in
the
package,
so
I'll
just
fast
these
out.
J
Thank
you,
council
members,
that
with
us,
via
WebEx
or
Zoom,
or
whatever.
B
J
J
This
is
presented
as
information
only
for
your
consideration,
as
you
can
see,
Council
chair
and
vice
chair
and
council
member
we
are
are
fairly
healthy,
near
the
top
of
the
Heap
when
it
comes
to
comparing
ourselves
to
tier
one
counties.
As
far
as
the
other
offices,
we
are
pretty
close
to
the
bottom,
and
so
this
is
presented
for
your
information
again.
J
This
is
under
your
authority
to
determine
what
these
entry
level
salaries
are
per
Beaufort,
County
ordinance,
and
so
this
is
presented
for
your
informational
purposes
and
to
give
you
some
reference
and
to
inform
you
of
the
issue,
should
you
decide
to
give
further
directions
to
staff
for
further
study
or
to
recommend
a
change
to
the
ordinance
to
bring
back
to
you,
Etc,
so
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
at
this
time
or
help
with
discussion.
Lots.
H
When
you
are
looking
at
hi
Scott
when
you're
looking
at
Council
share
Vice
chair
council
member
and
you
have
those
salaries
set
up,
I
see
the
other
salaries
in
comparison
by
looking
at
each
County
and
the
other
material.
You
provided
and
you'll
recall
that
a
couple
of
years
ago
we
eliminated,
we
had
a
salary
that
hadn't
been
adjusted
for
about
a
decade
and
then
we
also
had
a
stipend
that
was
added
to
the
salary,
but
that
stipend
was
eliminated.
And
now
we
only
have
a
salary.
J
H
J
To
my
knowledge,
no,
we
have
not
unless
the
information
they
provided.
The
election
commission
was
a
a
combined
which
reasonably
should
have
been,
because
when
the
election
commission
is
determining
filing
fees,
they
are
considering
overall
compensation.
Okay,.
A
A
All
okay,
but
it
is
a
good
question.
Logan
you
had
a
question
I.
J
That
is
a
great
question:
Mr
Cunningham
I'm,
so
glad
you
asked
it.
We
are
squarely
in
tier
two.
We
are
not
a
tier
one.
County
never
have
been
and
likely
never
will
be.
C
Yes,
sir,
it's
always
sending
me
two
things,
one
if
all
of
the
homes
that
are
planted
Bluff
to
build
out
we're
going
to
double
our
population,
so
we
probably
will
but
there's
a
thing
called
service
population.
We
have
a
very
high
service
population
compared
to
a
lot
of
other
ones,
two
and
a
half
million
people
a
year
whatever.
So
it
I've
always
viewed
us
that
we
really
should
compare
ourselves
to
to
your
ones.
J
All
right
well,
while
that
may
be
true
and
I,
would
not
argue
that
point,
because
I
don't
find
anything.
You
say
to
be
not
factual
right
now.
The
fact
of
the
matter
remains
that
that
tier
rating
is
based
solely
upon
your
population
and
the
the
counties
are
grouped
accordingly
for
a
reason:
there's
a
reason
they're
in
four
different
groups
or
five
different
groups.
J
However
many
we
grouped
them
and
as
soon
as
we
hit
the
200
000
Mark
in
in
10
more
years
with
the
census,
my
money
is
on
the
fact
that
that
line
for
tier
one
county
is
going
to
move
sure,
and
so
we
likely
will
always
be
grouped
with
with
two
are
two
counties.
A
Yeah,
let
me
just
make
a
quick
comment
there.
This
we've,
we
have
debated
this
topic
at
Council
numerous
times
and
the
the
argument
goes
something
like
this
that,
while
we
are,
if
you
only
look
at
at
bad
population,
we're
at
tier
2
County
but,
as
the
sheriff
often
says,
we're
at
for
service
population,
which
Mr
Rodman
mentioned
that
we're
250
000
off
of
250
000
and
maybe
even
more
at
certain
times,
and
so
the
question
becomes
what's
really
reflective
of
the
of
the
needs
of
this
county.
A
Is
it
has
a
service
population
or
is
it
actual
popular
I
mean
we're
not
going
to
solve
that
issue
today,
I'm,
just
simply
saying
that
that's
the
that's
the
discussion
we've
had
numerous
times
and
what
we've
done
is
we've
aired
on
the
side
of
service
population.
So
if
you
can
call
your
own
conclusions,
yes,
sir
yeah.
F
Logan
go
ahead:
I'm
fine
with
you
know,
I've
taken
the
numbers
on
tier
one.
I've
talked
to
you
guys
before
in
debates
about
where
I
think
we
should
be
for
pay
for
everyone
across
the
county.
To
be
honest,
I
didn't
really
care
what
other
people
are
paying
in
other
counties.
I
just
think
we
should
be
fairly
compensating
our
area.
We
know
what
our
cost
of
living
is
and
the
areas
you
need
to
improve
on.
F
It
really
makes
no
difference
to
me
what
Charleston
or
Greenville
or
Columbia
any
of
them
do.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
comparable
to
be
able
to
get
the
best
talent,
because
f11
have
one
job
and
they
have
to
get
the
best
talent
here
in
Beaufort
County
for
our
residents
and
I,
don't
know
who
these
high
numbers
are
I
wish,
maybe
on
the
blue
numbers
for
the
high,
if
we
could
have
figured
out
where
those
areas
are,
but
if
we're
going
to
compete,
we
got
to
put
a
better
product
out
there.
F
If
we
want
to
keep
the
best
silence
and
our
homegrown
Talent,
we
have
to
make
sure
they're
compensated
and
it's
pretty
clear.
Based
on
these
numbers,
we
are
pretty
low
tier
one
tier
two
call
it
whatever
you
want,
but
there
is
a
little
bit
of
a
disconnect
there.
A
This
would
be
a
that's
a
good
question.
Mr
Cunningham
I
appreciate
your
comments.
A
I
think
this
is
a
good
time
for
any
of
us
who
has
some
concerns
to
to
let
staff
know
what
types
of
questions
or
concerns
we're
going
to
have
when
it
when
it
comes
forward
with
an
actual
recommendation
on
in
each
one
of
these
categories.
One
of
these
elected
officials
they
and
and
what
you
suggested
is
very
interesting,
because
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
so
think
about
that
before
we
before
we
move
on
from
this
item.
A
If
there's
something
that's
specific
that
you'd
like
to
see
or
hear
from
from
staff
when
they
come
forward
with
with
fill
in
the
blanks,
we
think
that
the
Clerk
of
Court
should
make
X
number
of
dollars
in
Beaufort
County.
A
H
Have
a
question
Mr
chairman:
yes,
sir
I
remember
going
over
this
recently
and
I:
don't
believe
that
what
I'm
seeing
is
accurate,
I'll
tell
you
why
there
were
raises
given
back
in
2020
and
I,
think
the
sheriff
and
the
clerk
and
the
treasurer
a
romance
are
the
green
numbers.
What
we
think
people
are
making
here,
no.
J
Me
just
be
clear
about
one
thing
and
that
might
help
free
up
a
lot
of
confusion.
We
are
not
talking
about
salaries
of
anyone
who
is
currently
in
an
elected
position.
We
are
talking
about
entry-level
salaries
for
those
positions
for
someone
who
is
newly
elected.
Those
are
two
entirely
different
things.
So
if
we
have
given
raises
to
individuals
that
are
in
an
elective
office
that
is
not
applicable
to
this
particular
topic
of
conversation
right
now,
Mr
Cunningham
I
heard
you
mention.
You
know,
I.
H
Don't
follow
up
just
for
a
moment
before
you
jump
back
to
Mr,
Cunningham
sure
go
ahead.
That
hundred
and
eighty
three
thousand
dollars
is
a
starting
salary
for
the
sheriff
in
a
county
somewhere.
Yes,
that's
the
starting
salary.
J
J
If
you
look
at
page
15
of
your
packet,
the
back,
that's
that's
that's
what
I
was
getting
to
to
answer.
Mr
Cunningham's
concern,
page
15
of
your
packet
has
the
backup
information
for
those
figures
and
it
shows
each
County
and
what
that
offices,
entry
level
salary
is
don't.
H
J
J
J
H
A
A
J
K
Me
yeah
Mr
chairman.
Let
me
make
sure
I
understand
I
appreciate
the
the
final
sent
out.
Yes,
so
I
know
that
way.
We
have
Buford
County,
Sheriff,
I'm
gonna
use
the
sheriff
for
the
okay
that
the
base
salary
for
the
sheriff
is
112..
That's
the
starting
salary
going
for
if
I
became
sheriff
today.
That's
where
my
salary
was
will
be.
K
The
current
sheriff
is
making
more
than
that
and
I
and
I
see
that
yes
183
for
Richland,
that's
the
base
salary
yeah,
so
they
serve
in
Richland
County
may
be.
Making
more
than
183..
Is
that
I.
C
Other
question
when,
when
we
increase
the
starting
salary
for
individuals,
does
that
trigger
an
adjustment
up
the
line
based
on
years
of
service?
Or
is
that
totally
independent
of
that.
J
J
J
Any
other
questions
or
any
more
information
I
can
provide.
Again.
This
is
presented
to
you
for
information
staff
is
glad
to
take
your
direction
to
provide
additional
information
or
additional
study
or
to
come
back
with
a
revised
ordinance
as
you
please.
Yes,
sir,
that.
C
May
be
a
question
for
Eric
or
both
of
you
in
terms
of
putting
together
a
recommendation,
given
that
it's
elected
officials
is
that
something
that
staff
needs
to
do,
or
is
that
better
done
by
a
small
group
of
council
members
since.
A
C
L
Whether
that's
a
concern
yeah,
we
were
providing.
We
wanted
you
all
to
be
aware
of
the
situation
you
have.
You
have
one
you
elected
at
least
the
Probate
Judge
two,
two
new
elected
positions
coming
in
the
auditor
and
Probate
Judge
that
will
be
coming
in.
We
wanted
you
all
to
know
where
they
would
come
in
at
versus
what
the
market
is
doing
in
other
jurisdictions.
So
you
ought
to
have
the
information
and
we
don't.
We
don't
have
a
position
on
either
way.
A
Are
you
suggesting
and
I,
don't
think
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
to
have
a
commit,
a
subcommittee,
if
you
will,
of
of
this
of
this
Council
to
work
with
staff
to
come
up
with
some
numbers.
I'll
leave
that
to
you
and
Joe.
Are
you,
volunteering
I've.
L
A
A
A
H
A
A
A
But
before
you
leave
there
are
you:
are
you
volunteering
to
be
on
this
committee?
Sounds.
A
So
Irish
there's
a
third
person:
okay
yeah,
but
all
right,
but
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
use
my
quote:
unquote:
Authority
here
as
a
chairman
executive
committee
to
appoint
a
subcommittee
of
the
executive
committee
to
work
with
staff,
I.E,
Mr,
Marshall
and
anyone
else
on
staff
who
wishes
to
participate
to
come
up
with
some
suggestions
to
bring
before
us.
Let's
see
it's
now
what
October
10th?
How
about
November
by
November?
Is
that
reasonable?
You
need
three
readings.
L
We'll
get
three
readings
for
January:
that's
that's
fine,
we'll
we'll
do
it.
Whenever
we
do
it
make
it
retroactive,
then
we
don't
need
to
worry
about
one
of
the
positions,
because
that
doesn't
happen
until
June
the
audience
in
June,
so
it
only
it'll
only
potentially
affect
the
probate
salary.
If
we're
a
month
behind,
then
we
can
make
it
records.
Yeah.
Okay,.
A
L
It's
not
a
big
deal.
It
only
affects
one
elected
official.
So
if
we
finish
the
new
base
salaries
in
January,
then
that
would
affect
the
potential
salary
of
the
income
and
Probate
Judge,
because
the
order
does
not
take
a
office
until
June
of
23.
So
we
can
get
this
done
and
if
it's
done
after
the
Probate
Judge
takes
her
office
or
takes
office,
then
they
will.
We
can
make
it
retroactive
to
January
1.
A
L
A
K
You
go,
go,
you
mentioned
seven
office.
Well,.
J
L
Chairman
Somerville,
can
you
ask
for
a
motion
to
establish
the
subcommittee
and
bring
back
a
recommendation
in
November.
A
I
certainly
can
I
have
a
motion
to
establish
the
subcommittee
consisting
of
of
Mr
Herbert,
Sean,
Mr,
Rodman
and
Miss
Howard
to
to
work
with
staff,
politically
Mr
Marshall,
to
come
back
to
specific
recommendations,
for
these
are
the
Sixers,
the
sixth
or
seven
six
six
October
at
our
November
executive
committee
meeting.
A
A
A
Next
item
is
item
number
nine
recommend
approval
of
a
resolution
to
approve
arpa
funded
sign-on
bonus
policy,
fiscal
impact,
500
000
from
Harper
funds
appropriated
under
ordinance,
222.
J
I'm
available
to
do
that,
Mr
chairman,
if
you
like,
I,
can
run
through
the
particulars
of
the
program
or,
if
Council
wants
to
go
ahead
and
take
a
vote
on
it.
It's
your
call
I'm
here
for
you,
please,
please
so
ordinance
22,
20,
22
16
was
passed
third
and
final
reading
on
March,
28th
and
part
of
that
ordinance
specify
the
use
of
our
performance
and
designated
500
000
toward
recruitment
incentives
for
Public
Safety
positions.
J
What
staff
is
asking
is
your
consideration
of
the
resolution
in
your
packet
exhibit
a
of
that
resolution
is
a
human
resources
policy
document
which
defines
a
program
that
provides
incentives
using
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
arpa
funds.
The
program
will
provide
a
sign
on
bonus
of
five
thousand
dollars
for
new
employees
in
EMS,
the
detention
center
and
the
sheriff's
office.
Please
note
that
the
narrative
on
page
18
of
your
packet
specifies
a
total
of
2500
for
a
sign
on
bonus,
and
that
is
incorrect.
J
J
The
program
components
are
the
employee
must
remain
employed
with
Beaufort
County
at
least
one
year.
They
are
Provisions
that
prevent
double
dipping,
meaning
an
employee
can
only
receive
this
bonus
and
this
relocation
stipend
one
time
during
the
whole
life
of
the
program.
Current
employees
who
separate
after
the
effective
date
of
this
program,
are
not
eligible
for
a
sign
on
bonus
earlier
than
one
year
following
their
separation
of
employment.
J
Now
that's
to
keep
if
I'm
an
employee
in
EMS
and
I
hear
we
have
this
program
well,
I'm,
going
to
quit
and
I'm
going
to
come
back
in
six
weeks,
I'm
going
to
get
my
five
grand.
That's
that's!
This
is
to
prevent
that
the
program
will
be
implemented.
The
first
day
of
the
first
month,
following
council's
approval
of
the
resolution
and
the
program
will
terminate
when
we've
expended
all
of
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
arpa
funds
or
December
31st
2024.
J
B
A
You
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
we're
now
in
discussion,
questions
for
Mr,
Marshall
or
anybody
else.
K
I,
just
Mr
chairman
I
just
got
one
quick
question:
a
radius
of
30
miles
yes
from
headquarters
here.
Yes,
if
I
look
at
North,
would
that
put
me?
Oh,
you
got
a
map,
that's
what
I
thought!
That's
what
I
thought!
That's
what
I
thought?
Okay,
I'm,
fine
Mr
chairman
go
ahead.
Mr.
B
J
H
Cool,
let's
say,
let's
just
say,
becomes
effective.
July
1st
and
people
are
being
hired
all
the
time.
If
someone
was
hired
on
June
30th,
they
don't
qualify.
H
Yeah
I
know
okay
and
30
miles
for
reimbursement
of
moving
costs.
J
H
Oh
no,
submission
of
of
receipts.
J
No,
but
you
do
have
to
provide
proof
of
residency.
H
H
I
I
might
Paul
yes,
sir
yeah
I
to
to
take
it
back
off
of
Larry's
concerned.
I
was
I
was
contemplating
the
same
thing.
We
have
a
clawback
honor
requiring
them
to
after
they
get
the
signing
bonuses
on
the
requirement
to
requiring
them
to
stay
a
year.
If
they,
if
they
turn
a
leave
before
the
year,
then
the
Callback
goes
into
effect.
Is
that
correct?
J
And
again,
this
is
this:
is
a
draft
policy
we
can
make
whatever
revisions
that
you
would
like
to
make.
You
feel
comfortable
before
you
bring
it
to
the
full
Council
for
Dutch
all
right.
A
A
You
yeah
yeah
we're
gonna
have
to
have
a
cut
off
on
everything.
For
example,
if
you
don't
like
the
year,
what
do
you
like
a
year
and
a
half,
or
maybe
it's
too
long
too
short?
You
can
make
that
as
a
as
a
motion
to
amend
at
some
point
along
the
way,
but
I
do
we
have
a.
We
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
improve
the
resolution
as
it's
currently
written,
so
I'm,
gonna,
I'm
gonna
call
a
question
on
that.
Unless
somebody
wants
to
make
an
amendment.
L
You
are
just
making
a
recommendation
right
and
if
you
all
have
feedback
for
us
we'll
be
glad
to
make
changes
and
recommendations,
and
you
all
can
move
it
on
accounts.
So
if
you
prefer
two
years
for
the
claw
back,
then
I
think
that's
consistent
with
what
other
jurisdictions
do
and
you
know
whatever.
Whatever
changes
you
all
want
to
make
yeah
to.
F
Yes,
sir,
before
we
send
it
to
council
to
discuss
it
that
way
to
council
ahead
of
time,
let
me
make
sure
I
think
our
our
job
is
to
keep
people
in
the
county,
not
just
getting
here.
If
we
want
to
keep
them
here,
we
got
to
put
out
the
best
product
possible,
and
two
years
is
a
time
for
us
to.
You
know,
show
them
exactly
what
the
county
is
about
and
fixing
an
entire
environment.
A
H
May
I
ask
I'd
like
to
suggest
I
think
that
the
relocation
bonus
is
good,
but
I
think
that
people
who
receive
it
should
submit
receipts
for
payment
up
to
a
maximum
of
twenty
five
hundred
dollars,
rather
than
just
a
blanket
rant
of
twenty
five
hundred
dollars.
A
F
H
A
H
A
E
Yes,
sir
Chris,
if
I
might
yeah
in
normal
times,
I
would
100
agree
with
Mr
McAllen
on
this
side.
I'd
be
all
for
the
receipts
and
all
and
all
of
that.
However,
in
a
period
where
remote
work
is
becoming
more
the
norm
than
not,
and
if
you're
trying
to
attract
people
to
actually
come
to
the
county,
I
would
I
would
be
in
favor
of
just
doing
the
flat
2500
yeah.
A
Thank
you,
Chris,
we'll
come
back
to
that
in
just
a
minute
where
we
are
right
now
is
one
year
versus
two
years.
Can
I
call
a
question
on
that
one
I'm
gonna
call
a
question
on
the
amendment.
I
think
it
was
Logan's
Amendment
initiative,
correct,
Logan,
Paul.
I
Paul
before
you
call
a
question
yeah,
you
find
my
I'm
I'm
wrestling
with
this,
because
here
we
are
we're
trying
to
establish
an
ordinance
to
recruit
and
retain
we're,
trying
we're
actually
dealing
with
with
the
issue
of
retention
as
well
as
recruitment,
and
for
us
to
do.
You
have
the
or
initiate
the
sign-in
bonuses
that
were
that
we're
contemplating
and
only
limit
them
to
a
two-year
commitment.
I
A
K
Mr
chairman,
before
you
vote,
I'm,
not
I'm,
ready
to
vote,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
saying
that
the
second
2500
would
come
the
second
year
or
they
received
that
the
first
year,
but
they
have
to
stay
for
two
years.
Is
that
the
motion?
That's
on
the
floor?
No.
J
Not
not
as
I
understand
it
as
I
understand
it.
The
motion
is
on
the
floor
is
just
with
regard
to
the
amount
of
time
that
you
have
to
stay
in
the
employee
of
the
county
before
you
have
to
pay
back
any
of
your
bonus
right
now.
The
way
that
the
policy
is
drafted
is
that
you
would
get
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
upon
higher
and
then
20
in
the
remaining
2500
of
your
sign-on
bonus
at
the
completion
of
your
probationary
period
of
employment
got
you
and.
A
's
clear,
if
you
don't
like
the
two
years,
Mr
Dawson
suggests
that
he
doesn't
like
the
twos.
If
you
don't
like
the
two
years,
then
vote
against
this,
and
if
it
fails,
then
you
can.
We
can
come
back
and
have
another
motion
for
three
years
or
four
years
or
five
years
or
whatever.
Whatever
this
body
likes,
Mr
chairman.
F
Before
I
vote
can
I
ask
a
question
this
might
be
for
Eric.
How
often
do
we
hire
within
the
county
to
move
employees
to
a
different?
We.
L
F
My
question
is
I'll,
say:
I
know
exactly
what
I
say.
What
my
question
is,
though,
if
we're
about
retention
and
retaining
two
years
is
just
for
their
bonus,
they
have
to
have
to
stay
in
that
specific
position,
but
that
doesn't
mean
they
can't
transfer
to
another
department
after
those
two
years
and
that's
still
a
form
of
retention
for
us
in
Beaufort
County.
That's.
J
Correct
I
believe,
if
they
transfer
to
another
department,
that
is
not
one
of
the
original
departments
that
was
eligible
for
the
bonus.
The
spirit
of
the
program
I
believe
would
require
them
to
pay
back
that
money.
In
other
words,
I,
agree
with
you
if
they
come
to
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
decide
on
as
a
deputy,
and
they
want
to
move
to
voter
registration
and
then
then
they're
not
really
eligible
for
that
Public
Safety
sign-on
bonus
anymore
completely.
I
E
I
A
Okay,
so
it
goes
from
one
to
two
now.
What
was
the
other
amendment
that
somebody
suggested
they
wanted
to
make
or
did
I
miss
something
before
we
move
back
to
the
main
motion
Larry?
That
was
yours,.
L
Yeah,
that
was
the
receipts
on
the
2500
reimbursement
on
the
moving
expenses.
H
Yeah
provided
for
the
relocation
bonus
maximum
of
2500.
That's.
A
H
A
H
Thank
you
for
the
relocation
up
to
twenty
five
hundred
dollars.
Okay,.
A
All
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
require
receipts
up
to
the
2500
relocation
reimbursement
and
leaving
the
five
thousand
dollar
retention
fee
as
it
stands
right.
Does
that
sound
right,
Mr,
Allen,
okay,
all
right
any
comments
or
questions
about
that
that
motion
to
amend,
ment,
hearing,
none
I'll
call
a
question:
do
we
need
to
call
doing
any
roll
call
on
this?
One.
A
L
Is
a
required
receipt
to
reimbursement
up
to
twenty
five
hundred
dollars,
and
the
only
reason
I
said
that
you
probably
need
to
do.
A
road
call
is
because
of
council
member
Herbert
Sean
expressing
that
he
would
vote
against
the
motion.
A
Well,
let
me
let
me
make
sure
that
we're
clear
on
one
thing:
you
can't
you
don't
need
a
clawback.
If
you
require
receipts,
do
you
push
turn
in
the
receipt
you
get
the
reimbursement,
there's
no
need
for
a
clawback,
we're
not
going
to
give
them
2500
and
then
say
Oh
by
the
way
you
didn't
give
us
receipt.
You
owe
us
1400
bucks,
for
whatever
the
difference
turns
out
to
be.
A
A
So
I'm
gonna
say
this
is
approved
without
objection.
Unless
there's
an
objection,
I.
C
Got
a
comment:
Mr,
chairman,
okay,
go
ahead,
a
separate
vote,
if
you
would
actually
when
you,
when
you
go
and
move
you've
got
a
lot
of
other
expenses
and
things
that
hit
you
that
you
may
not
necessarily
have
receipts
for,
and
anybody
who's
going
to
relocate
is
probably
going
to
hit
close
to
this
number
anyway.
So
to
me,
I,
I,
I
I,
don't
think
it's
worth
going
through
the
hassle
of
getting
the
receipts,
I
think
you're
better
off
just
to
pay
them
and
be
done
with
it
once
they
prove
your
residency.
C
J
I,
if
I
could
there
is
an
administrative
cost
attached
to
tracking
the
expenses
up
to
including
the
2500?
There
are
many
expenses
that
that
an
employee
May
incur
that
aren't
evident
right
away,
but
they
might
know
hey
I
haven't
used
all
my
2500
allies.
J
I
still
have
a
storage
space
in
Statesville
Georgia,
so
I'd
like
to
claim
my
storage
space,
and
so
we'd
have
to
be
really
clear
with
how
we
allow
them
to
reimburse
and
what
the
time
limit
is
on
on
submitting
all
reimbursements
and
I
would
maintain
that,
given
the
relatively
small
amount
2500
per
per
employee
to
relocate
here,
the
administrative
costs
on
the
other
side
of
that
may
not
make
it
worth
it.
That's
just
my
two
cents
worth
I'll
be
quiet
now,
because
I
wasn't
asked
for.
B
That
Mr
chairman
I'd,
like
to
make
a
comment
too.
Please
I
I
agree
with
councilman
Rodman,
because
you
you
move,
you've
got
expenses
such
as
deposits
for
for
your
electric
deposits
for
this
deposits.
For
that
they're
not
going
to
get
reimbursed
you're
just
going
to
have
to
eat
it
or
pay
it
I,
guess
and
I
agree.
I
think
this
is
kind
of
the
minimum
amount
and
to
require
the
receipts
as
kind
of
extreme.
A
Thank
you,
I
I
happen
to
share
that
view.
That's
why
we're
going
to
call
the
roll
on
this
one
and
if
you
honestly
think
that
they
should
provide
receipts
and
you
go
yes,
if
you
think
they
shouldn't.
Oh,
no
and
we'll
see
where
it
goes.
Ask
the
clerk
to
please
call
the
roll.
F
K
D
I
can
come
back
to
him:
councilmember
Rodman,
no
council,
member
Howard,
no
councilmember
Lawson.
I
D
A
Okay,
all
right
all
right,
let's
move
back
to
them!
Thank
you
very
much.
Are
there
any
other
amendments?
I'm
not
aware
of
any
of
this,
we
can
move
on
to
the
main
motion
item
number
nine,
as
amended
I'm,
sorry,
as
amended
with
the
two
years
versus
the
one
year,
okay,
without
any
additional
amendments,
I'm
going
to
call
the
question
on
the
main
motion
item
number:
nine,
which
is
to
recommended
resolution
to
approve
our
percentage
sign-on
bonus
as
amended.
A
A
I
I
moved
to
amend
the
motion
that
the
clawback
Clause
require
a
five-year
stay
before
that
they
have
to
reimburse
the
county.
A
Five
years,
okay,
so
we
go
your
emotion
or
sorry.
Your
amendment
is
to
go
from
two
years
to
five
years
for
Paul
background
right
because
we're
currently
two
okay,
fine
anybody
want
to
comment
on
that
or
go
and
go
ahead,
and
let
me
go
ahead
and
call
a
question
on
it.
Everybody
understands
it.
I
mean
we've
been
talking
about
it
for
a
long
time.
A
All
right
can
I.
Do
this
without
objection
or
there
hasn't
been
a
second,
oh
boy.
Is
there
a
second.
A
Tick:
tick,
tick,
tick,
tick!
All
right!
The
amendment
dies
for
lack
of
a
second
now
we're
back
to
the
main
motion,
which
is
to
recommend
approval
of
a
resolution
to
approve
our
performance
of
time
on
both
as
amended
from
two
one
year
to
two
years
in
which
is
emotion.
It's
been
motioned
and
seconded.
A
D
Sir
councilman
Rodman,
yes,
council,
member
Howard,
yes,
council,
member
Lawson.
I
F
A
Yeah
all
right!
Well,
let
me
let
me
rephrase
that
I'd
like
a
motion
to
approve
item
10,
which
is
Darwin
Cleveland
item
11,
which
is
appointment
of
Colonel,
wander
Grant,
also
to
low
carb,
and
the
third
one
is
Steve
phobes
to
The
Economic
Development
Corporation
could
I
have
a
motion
on
that.
Please
some
move,
Mr
chairman
a
second
okay.
C
L
A
Are
subject
to
that
verification?
That's
a
good
points
too.
I
assume
that
Alan
Hilton
Head
appointed
and
reappointed
him,
but
you're
right
waiting
to
confirm
that.
So
we
now
I
have
a
motion
to
give
me
a
point
or
appoint
all
these
three
of
these
folks,
it's
been
seconded
can
I
prove
that
without
objection,
subject
to
the
confirmation
of
Steve
folks.
A
Is
that
a
yes,
okay,
those
three
are
approved
without
without
exception.
Subject:
confirmation
with
Steve
Jobs
appointment
reappointment
by
the
town,
Hilton
Head,
and
that
concludes
all
matters
on
our
agenda.
We
are
Mr
chairman,
yes,
sir,
before
you.
I
Close,
we
just
appointed
reappointed,
Steve
folks
to
the
Beaufort
County
Economic
Development
board.
I
Where
are
we
with
the
reappointment
of
I
believe
it
was
Mike
asklo
for
the
South
Carolina
Alliance
board.
A
I
A
I
You
can
imagine
and
I'm
asking
you
to
put
it
on
your
next
executive
committee
agenda
if,
if
it
hadn't
been
done
already,
foreign.
L
We
need
to
check
with
the
sca
to
make
sure
that
if
you
recall
several
months
ago,
there
was
an
attendance
issue,
as
reported
by
the
sca
Southern
Carolina
Alliance.
So
let
us
verify
that
with
clerk
council's
office,
if
that
issue
has
been
corrected
so
that
we
and
we'll
make
sure
I'll
work
with
the
clerk
council's
office
to
make
sure
it
gets
added
to
the
executive
committee
meeting
or
an
appropriate
Committee
in
November
to
take
be
taken
care
of
all.
