A
Good
afternoon
everyone
we're
back
from
recess.
We
are
now
doing
the
afternoon
session,
which
will
be
our
presentation,
capital
projects,
Parks
both
active
and
passive
and
Recreation.
So
we're
going
to
begin
with
you
Jerry.
B
Has
a
book
in
front
of
you,
I
didn't
I'll,
tell
you
why
I
have
a
book
is
I
didn't
realize
till
the
other
day
we
sit
back
here
and
stuff,
and
we've
got
four
TVs
and
I
didn't
realize
that
you
only
have
this
one
TV,
and
so
it's
a
very
nice
meeting
pleasure
I
printed
out
the
the
presentation
inside
of
that
there's
also
pictures
I
do
not
want
you
to
advance
the
pictures.
B
So
this
is
you
got
to
pay
attention,
so
don't
don't
go
to
the
pictures
when
we
start
to
the
pictures
again
and
it
might
have
just
having
one
TV
My
Hope
Is,
that
you
could
have
them
there
and
they're
tangible
and
then
also,
if
you
want
to
refer
to
them
later,
you'll
have
them
there
for
your
Congress
as
well
all
right.
So
how
long?
B
If
you
choose
or
just
watching
anything
so
the
infrastructure
plan,
they
would
say,
transportation
is
what
we
had
as
a
heading,
but
I
think
it's
going
to
get
into
infrastructure
overall,
we're
talking
about
capital
projects
and
parks,
and
just
this
morning
already,
we've
talked
about
millions
of
dollars
of
projects
and
we
talked
about
limited
amounts
of
funds
and
we've
talked
about
major
growths.
So
all
these
things
combined,
it's
like.
B
How
are
we
going
to
do
this
so
hopefully,
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
is
a
concept
and
a
plan
for
us
to
take
action
on
everything
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
and
because
of
that,
we've
got
to
talk
about
the
one
thing
that
we
have
going
on
and
we've
already
hit
it.
Oh
no.
This
is
my
Clicker
we've.
B
Beaufort
County
is
rolling
and
I
would
say
like
wildfire
wildfires
as
far
as
as
the
rest
of
the
state
as
well
by
a
show
of
hands.
How
many
of
you
have
moved
here
to
Beaufort
County
from
somewhere
greater
than
50
miles
away.
Raise
your
hand
please.
B
B
That's
what
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
today,
a
few
numbers
as
of
this
is
all
as
of
the
2020
census.
South
Carolina
was
the
11th
fastest
growing
state.
So
obviously
everybody
there's.
This
is
a
mass
migration
thing
that
is
bigger
than
us.
This
has
been
happening
covet
accelerated.
This
we're
seeing
movement
from
Northeast
of
the
country
down
to
Southeast
of
the
country
and
other
parts
of
the
country
as
well,
but
South
Carolina
is
the
11th
and
fastest
route.
B
Beaufort
County
is
the
seventh
fastest
growing
county
in
the
state,
so
out
of
46
counties
we're
in
the
top
top
tier.
As
far
as
how
fast
we're
growing
from
2010
to
2020,
we
grew
at
15.3
percent
and
our
population
is
187
000,
which
is
the
10th
rate,
so
we're
still
in
the
upper
tier,
maybe
not
quite
as
high
as
we
are,
as
a
ratio
of
growing,
but
very
fast
to
say
this.
So
we've
all
heard
the
saying
that
money
is
the
root
of
all
evening
right.
B
Well,
it's
not
it's
the
love
of
money.
That
is
the
root
of
volume.
Well,
so
goes
growth.
Growth
is
not
our
issue.
Our
issue
is
unplanned
growth.
If
we're
not
planning
for
growth,
it's
going
to
destroy
us.
If
we
plan
for
growth,
we
can
accommodate
it
and
that's
what
I
hope
we
do
here
in
the
future,
and
we
talk
about
here
today,
so
I
have
an
exercise
for
us.
I
was
going
to
get
you
guys
down.
B
We
just
got
done
with
lunch
and
set
you
in
the
table
and
do
a
tabletop
exercise,
but
in
spirit
of
doing
that,
we're
just
going
to
do
it
here,
as
as
we
talk
out
loud
to
one
another
but
just
participation.
My
wife's,
a
teacher
and
participation
is
a
grade.
So
if
you
don't
participate,
we'll
revise
and
do
something
different
I
need
you
to
think
about
a
lot
of
you
moved
here
for
some
reason,
one.
Why
did
you
move
here?
What
we
had
Beaufort
County
compelling?
A
B
E
Does
he
want
to
move
I
have
pretty
much
the
same
ingredients
a
place
to
come?
That
was,
you
didn't,
have
to
sit
inside
and
look
out
the
window
for
eight
minutes
and
when
you
were
outside
you
had
all
of
this
available.
You
have
Wildlife,
foliage
featured
so
you're
doing
some
trees,
yep
everything
that
you
really
didn't
have
an
Olympic,
decaying
Urban
environments,
which
I
spent
most
of
my
life
here.
So
this
was
a
big
opportunity.
Yeah.
F
B
Aesthetic,
it's
beautiful,
I,
don't
think
anybody
can
argue
with
that
all
right.
So
if
we
were
to
drill
back
on
that
and
go
to
the
next
level,
what
projects
that
we
could
do
or
can
do
or
will
do
in
the
future
that
play
into
that
so
Aesthetics
are
Community
or
quality
of
life.
What
what
projects
could
you
name?
That
would
enhance
that
reason
why
you
came
to
Beaufort
County.
B
Access
to
work
so
improving
our
boat
ramps,
I
don't
have
a
book
I'm,
always
looking
for
a
friend
with
a
boat,
so
I
agree,
that's
a
good
one!.
H
C
I
B
More
Recreation,
more
Recreation,
okay,
all
right
and
that's
across
the
entire
cane
Recreation
all
right.
What
else
any
other
ones
that
go
into
this?
The
reasons
that
you
named
all
right
so
out
of
the
projects,
just
a
handful
of
projects
that
we
named
here,
let's
put
some
price
tickets
on
that
so
enhance
the
boat
ramps
holy
time,
maybe
10
15
million
dollars
I
mean
something
in
that
genre:
20
million
dollars.
Pathways
we've
got
a.
We
got
a
master
plan
for
pedestrian
access
and
bicycle
pathways.
B
One
one
road
is
to
put
a
pathway
along
170.
I
mean
that
in
itself
is
millions
and
millions
of
dollars,
let
alone
the
rest
of
that
master
plan.
So,
let's
just
for
the
sense
of
Pathways,
let's
say
50
million
dollars
all
right.
What
was
some
other
ones?
We
heard
Transportation
Transportation
170
on
the
triangle.
Does
anybody
know
the
price
tag
on
that?
One
on
the
triangle?
B
B
Just
that
one
section,
so
we
can
say
that's
a
lot
of
money,
all
right
and
recreational
projects,
so
new
ball
fields,
new
center
I
mean
we're
talking
about
Mega
Millions
there
40
50
million
dollars,
maybe
even
more
I,
didn't
just
add
all
that,
but
just
listening
out,
that's
I
think
we've
listed
300
million
dollars,
plus
in
a
matter
of
five
minutes,
just
talking
about
things
that
keep
up
what
about?
B
How
long
will
it
take
to
build
all
that
stuff,
so
her
project
forever
we're
experiencing
that
on
278
right,
it's
taking
forever
to
build
Recreation
without
a
master
plan,
so
you
got
to
go
through
all
this
process.
So
let
me
I
had
a
feeling
that
some
of
these
projects
would
work
what
you
guys
were
going
to
say.
So,
let's
try
to
summarize
this
I
think
where
we
need
to
go
is
to
First,
create
the
vision
and
then
the
mission
they
Implement.
B
B
So
all
these
things
are
quality
of
life
and
I
think
with
a
long-term
Vision,
we
can
start
marching
in
a
far
Direction
in
unison
with
one
another,
with
this
in
mind,
so
to
take
this
one
step
further
and
turn
this
Vision
into
a
mission
statement,
which
is
kind
of
reiterating
some
of
the
things
y'all
just
said,
is
to
preserve
and
protect
and
enhance
the
quality
of
life
that
we
have
so
preserve
and
protect
us.
We
moved
here.
It
was
great
enhance
this.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
it
maintains
and
and
is
great
into
the
future
quality
of
life
and
a
sense
of
community,
both
Mr
Glover
and
Miss
Howard
I
mentioned
a
great
place
to
raise
a
family,
so
a
sense
of
community
in
Beaufort
County.
So
if
we
use
this
as
our
clean
a
vision
and
mission
statement,
as
we
talk,
I
think
this
is
going
to
guide
us
into
some
interesting
conversations.
B
We
can't
talk
2050
and
vision
without
talking
about
money,
so
these
are
the
typical
funding
sources
that
we
have
at
the
local
government
level
and
specific
to
Beaufort
County.
These
are
kind
of
what
you
could
see
as
ways
to
raise
funds
to
generate
these
projects
and
as
if
aspected
through
that
list.
B
Obviously,
what
sticks
out
as
the
most
powerful
tool
on
that
list
sales
and
use
tax,
60
million
dollars
a
year
is
what
our
one
penny
generates
roughly,
whereas
you
can
see
the
other
ones,
the
user
fee
and
and
different
ones
are
three
five
million
dollars
a
year.
So
there's
a
significant
difference
between
sales
and
use
tax
and
our
other
opportunities
history
lesson:
why
did
the
Indians
in
Arizona
make
their
Huts
out
of
adobe
huts?
B
B
It
is
for
lots
of
parts
of
the
world,
but
not
in
beef
or
not
in
South
Carolina,
because
we
have
we're
sitting
on
granite
a
whole
Rock
bed
of
granite,
so
we
use
the
resources
that
are
local
to
us,
the
best
inclement
the
capital
needs,
and
for
us
on
this
page,
the
resource
that's
most
abundant
to
us
is
sales
tax.
B
So
let's
take
a
look
at
this
and
see
how
sales
tax
compares
to
other
areas
of
the
state
and
how
we
are
similar
or
different
than
other
areas.
So
I
know
this
is
a
really
busy
slide.
This
is
from
Department
of
Labor.
This
is
a
snapshot
in
time
as
of
January
1st
22..
They
haven't
issued
23
yet,
but
I'm
sure
it'll
be
very
similar.
B
What
this
is
doing
is
explaining
the
different
sales
taxes
so
there's
six
different
sales
taxes,
local
sales,
taxes,
that
municipalities,
yeah,
been
enacted
by
general
assembly
and
state
statute
and
those
are
lost,
local
option
sales
tax,
which
is
a
property
relief
and
a
revenue
Capital
Revenue
fund
transportation,
capital
projects
careers
in
development.
This
is
a
specific
one.
Really,
the
only
place
that's
applicable
is
Myrtle
Beach.
B
It's
got
to
meet
certain
thresholds
before
that's
even
available
education,
Capital
and
school
district,
and
then,
lastly,
now
we
have
a
seventh
one
that
got
approved
last
year,
which
is
Green
Space,
which
we
are
the
premier
County
as
far
as
being
the
first
ones
to
use
that
that
penny
one
thing
I
know:
educational
capital
and
School
District
are
a
little
bit
different
from
one
another.
The
school
district
is
a
local
sales
tax.
B
That's
used
for
operating
to
offset
operating
costs
for
your
school
district
education
capital
is
just
for
Capital
Improvements
to
school
districts,
but
it
also
allows
for
higher
education
uses
as
well
as
debt
and
I'll
talk
about
that
more
in
a
minute.
So
a
couple
of
friends
that
we
can
pick
off
from
looking
at
this
map
of
Many
Colors
most
counties
have
either
one
or
two
sales
taxes,
so
the
state
sales
tax
is
six,
so
you
can
have
from
six
as
the
bare
minimum
was
zero
or
nine,
which
is
the
maximum
that's
allowed.
B
So
three
pennies
is
what
you
can
have
a
Max
most
have
one
or
two,
so
that
right
there
is
85
percent
of
the
counties
are
in
that
set
the
most
I.
Don't
know
if
it's
interesting,
but
the
part
that
jumped
off
the
meat
is
what
color
is
Beaufort
County.
Why
and
we
don't.
This
is
again
a
snapshot
as
of
May.
We
will
start
collecting
on
green
space,
but
as
of
January
1st
2020,
we
had
just
collectively
collected
our
transportation,
so
it
was
no
longer
into
effect.
We
have
zero
sales
tax.
B
B
Obviously
Charleston
and
Myrtle
Beach
are
very
much
tourist,
driven
I,
think
I'm
not
going
to
Charleston,
because
there
is
a
nine
percent
sales
tax
going
on
in
Charleston
I.
Don't
think
people
are
not
not
moving
to
Charleston
because
there's
a
nine
percent
sales
tax
in
Charleston
Jasper
County.
Obviously
we
share
a
lot
of
things
in
common
with
Jasper
County.
They
don't
have
the
same
tourism
problem,
for
whatever
reason
they
have
three
families
as
well,
so
to
say
that
three
pennies
is
something
that
is
far-fetched
or
unachievable.
B
I
would
beg
to
differ
with
that,
and
I
would
also
beg
that.
This
is
something
that
we
should
at
least
Garner
attention
and
explore
and
I
want
to
do
that
right
here.
So
how
does
our
Penny
compare?
I
already
said
that
we're
collecting
60
million
dollars
a
year?
That's
a
lot
right.
Well,
we
are
the
most
populated,
but
our
penny
is
the
fifth
most
powerful
in
the
state
and
you
can
see
who
we're
behind
obviously
Charleston's
the
biggest
with
135
million
and
then
Horry
County
is
up
there
too,
but
will
the
fifth
most.
B
This
was
as
of
2021,
which
is
the
last
year
that
we
had
a
full
collection
on
our
2018
Penny,
our
first
year
collection
in
2019,
our
first
fiscal
year.
We
collected
45
million
dollars.
How
do
we
collect
we
collected
for
about
two
and
a
half
years
and
we
reached
our
120
million
dollars?
Had
we
fully
collected
the
last
year
in
2022,
we
were
on
Pace
for
65
million
dollars.
Our
sales
tax
was
growing
at
18.
B
I
have
no
earthly
idea
how
to
explain
that
other
than
local
economy
and
covid
probably
had
a
factor
in
that
and
I
know
that's
not
sustainable,
but
it
is
it's
just
shocking
to
hear
that.
That's
how
it's
clearing
so
really
we're
higher
than
Lexington,
but
this
is
the
last
full
fiscal
year
that
we've
had
data
from,
but
per
capita.
How
does
it
stack
up?
B
B
Also
one
thing
to
note
is
that
on
the
per
capita
you
can
see,
Charleston,
Buford
and
Ori
are
in
the
almost
300
dollar
range
per
person,
where
the
next
level
is
Lexington
Richland
it's
in
the
200
range,
so
those
three
places,
including
ourselves,
are
33
higher
than
the
rest
of
the
state
as
far
as
the
power
of
the
collection
of
that
penny.
So
again,
this
strongest
and
second
highest
so
go
back
to
this
last
slide.
B
So
to
say
that
they're,
preparing
and
planning
for
their
groups
is
an
understatement
to
say
that
we're
not
planning
for
this
slide
is
very
accurate,
so
same
thing
with
Myrtle
Beach,
they're
they're.
At
and
Horry
County
is
at
95
million.
They
have
two
pennies,
so
they're
still
collecting
180
million
dollars
a
year
and
again
we're
collecting
zero
just
to
put
that
in
another
figure
for
Charleston
County.
That
means
every
two
and
a
half
years,
they're
pumping
a
billion
dollars
in
their
community.
That's
another
way
to
look
at
a
lot
of
money.
B
So
what
do
we
do?
Do
we
just
copy
Charleston
copy
and
paste,
not
exactly?
They
have
some
good
things,
but
not
necessarily
others.
One
thing
that
we
did
do
recently
is:
we
went
out
for
a
local
option
sales
tax.
That
did
not
ask
but
there's
various
ways
to
look
at
that.
So
the
local
option
is
one
that
once
it's
passed,
it
has
to
have
a
majority
of
a
petition
by
the
citizens
Court
to
come
off,
so
all
I
think
I'm
off
it
stays
on
there
forever.
Well,
Charleston
has
a
local
option.
B
Sales
tax,
so
I,
don't
think
the
local
option.
Sales
tax
gets
you
the
most
main
career,
but
there's
other
ways
to
accomplish
similar
benefits
to
that
and
I
think
there's
a
different
mix
that
nobody
else
in
the
state
really
has
that
I
I
think
would
make
the
most
important
thing
for
us
is
Beaufort
County
so
again
to
address
our
own
Community
needs
so
transportation.
We
always
talked
about
Transportation
councilman
tabernate.
You
talked
about
170
and
and
everything
we're
working
on
there
we're
already
trending.
On
that
we
talked.
B
Last
year
we
had
a
tax
committee.
We
started
working
that
up,
so
we
already
had
a
good
idea
that
transportation
is
needed.
Eric's
will
be
talking
in
just
a
second
about
our
facilities
master
plan.
Well
that
facilities
master
plan
is
300
million
dollars.
That
in
itself
is
just
governmental
facilities
for
the
canyon
that
doesn't
address
recreational
facilities
which
Chuck
will
talk
about.
B
It
doesn't
address
municipality
facilities,
so
I
think
there
is
the
opportunity
for
a
capital
project
penny
that
could
pay
for
those
improvements
that
that
are
so
needed
and,
lastly,
the
educational
opinion
so,
rather
than
the
district,
the
school
district
and
help
pay
for
offsetting
operating
costs,
the
educational
Capital
team.
B
So
the
interesting
thing
about
this
is
it
can
pay
back
school
debt
and
I'll
talk
about
this
in
a
little
bit
more
detail,
but
I
actually
had
a
recent
conversation
with
Dr
Premier,
and
he
pointed
me
in
the
direction
that
uscp
he
pointed
me
in
the
direction
of
Corey
County.
So
he
gave
me
this
story
and
in
2000
mid
2000s
for
whatever
reason:
Coastal
Carolina
split
off
from
USA.
B
At
the
time
there
was
four
Affiliates
you
had
obviously
USC
and
Clemson,
but
under
USA
there
was
USC
Beaufort
USC,
Aiken,
USC,
Upstate
and
USC
whatever
it
was
called
Coastal
Carolina
beforehand.
So
they
split
off
for
whatever
reason
and
they
were
on
the
verge
of
bankruptcy
and
dissolving
Coastal
Carolina.
Well,
at
that
point
in
2008
Horry
County
stepped
up
and
they
made
an
educational
Capital
Penny
and
they
made
it
for
15
years
and
that
in
itself
they
invested
into
Coastal
Carolina
and
helped
research
Coastal
Carolina.
B
Then
they
also
won
a
baseball,
National
Championship
and
got
a
lot
of
headlines
for
that,
so
their
enrollment
doubled
after
that.
But
without
that
investment
there
would
have
been
a
sunken
ship.
The
funny
thing
is
in
looking
up:
Horry
County,
they
said
80
of
it
is
going
to
go
to
their
school
district,
16
or
13
is
going
to
go
to
U.S,
C
or
Coastal
Carolina,
and
then
six
percent
was
going
to
go
to
their
Technical
College.
So
they
are
the
exact
blueprint
of
Beaufort
County.
B
They
have
one
school
district,
their
largest
school
district
in
the
state.
They
have
one
Technical
College,
and
then
they
have
one
Higher
Education
exact
blueprint
for
us.
So
recently
they
they
just
expire
in
their
15-year
Penny
last
year,
they're
preparing
for
it
to
extend
that
Penny
and
they
put
a
petition
for
another
15-year
educational
Penny
and
they
got
approved
68,
and
they
expect
that
over
the
next
15
years
that
that
Penny
will
produce
2.2
billion
dollars.
That
would
they
will
sink
into
education
in
Oregon,
so
quite
impressive.
B
So
once
you
put
all
these
together,
they're,
not
just
one
penny
or
two
pennies
they're
super
pennies
they're
working
on
something
amazing
that
for
US
60
million
dollars,
that's
180
million
dollars
a
year
that
could
be
invested
here
in
our
community.
So
definitely
something
for
us
to
consider.
So
what
does
it
look
like?
We
named
some
of
the
projects
already,
but
what
would
those
projects
look
like
this
to
give
you
an
idea
and
put
some
pictures
of
work,
so
this
is
in
Hanahan.
B
B
This
is
a
regional
I
think
this
is
a
Detention
Center,
a
law
enforcement
center,
that's
getting
something
of
life,
so
the
idea
that
this
could
be
paid
under
a
penny.
It's
absolutely
could
be
paid
under
a
capital
penny.
B
This
is
a
school
district,
so
again
school
districts
in
search
of
finding
property
for
more
schools.
This
could
be
a
way
for
me
to
fund
their
new
school
programs.
This
is
a
just
a
high-rise
building,
so
our
economic
development
is
not
going
to
get
involved
or
building.
That's
just
not
us,
but
to
say
that
we
couldn't
have
a
high-rise
building
that
had
a
global
headquarters
for
some
type
of
Industry.
Absolutely
that's
exactly
what
I
think
we
could
do.
B
Port
we
talked
about
art
and
fury
and
stuff.
Currently,
Transportation
doesn't
allow
it's
very
restricted.
In
addition
to
everything,
we're
talking
about
is
there's
also
two
pieces
of
legislator
that
we're
going
to
try
to
petition
our
state
delegates
for
and
is
the
definition
of
transportation
for
the
transportation
sales
tax
right
now,
like
I,
said
it's
very
restricted,
but
with
all
the
bipartisan
infrastructure,
Bill
and
all
the
funding
at
the
federal
level.
Our
definition
at
the
state
level
needs
to
match
the
U.S
dot
level,
and
inside
of
that
is
fairies.
B
Mass
transit
Aviation
the
way
all
the
above.
So
if
we
had
the
opportunity
with
local
option
tips
or
with
local
sales
tax,
then
this
is
something
feasible
airport,
like
I
said.
If
we
expand
that
definition,
50
million
dollars
at
the
airport
is
something
that
could
potentially
be
paid
through
sales
tax,
chairman
passman
you
mentioned
before
so
obviously,
this
is
in
Jasper
County,
not
necessarily
saying
that
we
should
search
for
things
outside
of
our
County,
but
with
some
mega
mega
millions
that
that
could
be
produced
with
with
these
super
pennies.
B
This
is
this
law
enforcement
center.
Sorry,
you
talked
about
law
enforcement
center,
Library
I
think
we
already
have
a
couple
libraries
that
are
pre-cr,
so
this
is
next
level
so
they're
taking
our
our
cultural
buildings
and
really
amping
them
up,
making
them
unique
and
highlights.
B
We
talked
about
recycling
in
the
past.
This
is
this:
is
state
of
the
art
equipment
inside
of
material
recovery
facility,
a
Coliseum,
so
there
is
no
place
in
Beaufort
County
for
a
gathering
of
five
or
a
thousand
people
or
greater
so
North
Charleston
Coliseum
was
built
in
the
90s
and
they
have
all
sorts
of
venues
that
run
through
there.
There's
no
reason
why
that
could
be
something
that
we
could
have.
Let's
dream
the
power
of
the
super
opinions
is
that
the
things
that
we
thought
that
weren't
necessarily
attainable?
B
Well,
maybe
they
are
now
with
with
this
type
of
Clinic
I
bought
it
we've
talked
about
Aquatic
Center.
It
went
through
the
product
sample
abroad,
it's
actually
doable
with
the
capital
penny
parking
garages.
This
is
one
in
Miami
that
doesn't
necessarily
look
like
a
parking
garage,
but
they
can.
They
don't
have
to
live
like
an
ugly
old
parking
garage,
so
you
can
do
a
parking
garage.
I
know,
city
of
Beaufort
needs
parking,
Hilton
Head
probably
needs
parking.
There's
places
there
are
parking.
B
Garages
can
fit
into
Capital
penny,
so
North,
Charleston
and
Charleston
have
a
bus,
rapid
transit
system.
They
are
feeding
this
into
their
existing
infrastructure
right
now.
Our
mass
transit
is
pretty
small,
but
it's
going
to
grow
and
what's
happening
in
Charleston
they're
having
to
retro
fit
a
rapid
transit
system
because
they
didn't
plan
for
it.
The
cost
of
their
fitting
30
30
miles
of
Rapid
Transit
from
Somerville
to
downtown
Charleston
is
about
one
and
a
half
billion
dollars.
So
we
could
get
in
front
of
that.
We
know
we're
growing.
B
B
Athletes
you
mentioned
Pathways,
chairman
passionate.
This
is
Reedy
Falls
in
Greenville.
People
come
to
Greenville
for
this.
In
fact,
my
family
has
come
to
this
just
just
for
this,
so
we
could
walk
over
this
pathway.
It's
beautiful
so
now
the
idea
of
just
completing
24
Pathways
in
our
existing
18
sales
tax.
Let's
take
our
Pathways
up
a
notch,
so
let's
make
them
beautiful.
Let's
make
them
attractions
where
we
can
attract
visitors
into
our
camp
into
our
community.
B
B
This
is
just
beautiful
Waterfront
in
Daniel
Island,
so
we
have
a
ton
of
water
from
us
and
there's
no
reason
why
we
keep
have
all
of
our
public-facing
waterfronts
to
look
this
good
or
better
I
love
going
to
Daniel
Island,
but
I'd
rather
go
to
Beaufort
or
Hilton
or
wherever
else
same
thing.
This
is
a
this
is
in
Charleston,
County.
I
believe
this
is
their
one
of
their
thoughts,
so
I
shared
this.
B
This
Sidetrack
for
a
second
I
shared
these
pictures
to
my
kids
as
I
was
telling
them
what
I
was
talking
about
today
and
they're.
Like
oh
I've,
been
there
I've
been
there
I've
been
there.
Oh
that's
interesting!
That's
in
Greenville.
They
did
not
say
one
of
these
pictures.
That's
in
Beaufort
and
that's
a
shame.
I
mean
the
fact
that
all
these
things
are
around,
but
none
of
them
are
here
is
something
that
we
should
look
inside
of
ourselves
and
say
you
know
what
this
is
something
that
we
really
need
and,
lastly,
boat
ramps.
B
Somebody
mentioned
boat
ramps.
So
the
idea
that
all
of
our
boat
ramps
look
like
White
Hall
is
beautiful.
It
is
what
I
think
every
boat
ramp
in
Beaufort
County
should
apply,
but
now,
with
the
funding
there,
I
think
we
could
achieve
that.
However,
I
know
there's
going
to
be
challenges.
I'm,
not
too
naive
to
realize
that
there's
some
people
that
that
are
deaf,
I
hear
you.
That
sounds
great,
but
this
is
the
one
that
I
hear
the
most
we've
only
constructed
one
turn
lane
in
2018
sales
tax.
B
B
Tax
does
not
equal
implementation
time,
so
we
collected
four
years
actually
in
two
and
a
half
years,
there's
no
way
we're
getting
all
the
projects
we
get
done
in
two
and
a
half
years,
and
with
that
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a
history
lesson.
B
Who
here
knows
not
allowed
to
answer
two
here:
news:
the
first
sales
tax
in
Beaufort,
County,
First,
Transportation
sales
tax
in
Beaufort,
County.
A
B
B
we
tried
in
2006
for
unsuccessful,
tried
again
in
1998
and
in
1998
Beaufort
County
was
a
Trailblazer
once
again,
just
like
on
Green
Space.
We
were
not
afraid
to
be
bold
and
try
Transportation
sales
tax
and
we
got
it
approved.
We
did
two
years
for
40
million
dollars.
Does
anybody
know
the
roads
that
it
funded?
J
B
It
had
a
bridge,
but
it
was
170.
so
that
40
million
dollars
we
stacked
up
with
Dot,
and
we
were
able
to
widen
13
miles
of
170
sc170
from
Bluffton
to
Buford,
including
two
Bridges,
two
miles
of
the
Broad
River
Bridge
and
the
kalawasi
bridge
all
the
sales
tax.
Again
we
were
the
first
ones
in
the
entire
state
to
try
out
Transportation
sales
tax.
The
next
one
to
try
out
Transportation
was
Charleston
County
in
2004..
That's
how
far
in
advance
we
were
on
other
accountants
in
2006.
That
was
the
next
sales
tax.
C
B
Was
six
years
152
million
dollars?
But
inside
of
that
we
got
some
major
projects,
so
this
here
is
17
lining
at
Gardens
corner
at
the
time
that
this
got
constructed.
This
was
one
of
the
most
deadly
sections
of
Railway
in
the
entire
country.
There
had
just
been
an
accident
with
Marine
recruits
on
a
bus
where
it
killed
a
bunch
of
those
recruits,
and
this
was
on
the
on
the
national
news
as
far
as
how
dead
of
the
stretch
of
Redwood.
So
with
our
money
from
sales
tax,
we
contributed.
B
We
are
not
the
only
player,
but
we
contributed-
and
this
was
six
miles
of
wide
and
inside
of
Beaver
County
from
21
to
the
Colleton
County
Line.
The
next
project
we
did
was
U.S
278.
We
ride
in
five
miles
of
278
from
sc-170
to
simmonsville
road.
So
at
that
point
we
had
six
Lanes
from
170
all
the
way
to
Moss
Creek
Plantation.
B
We
won
two
miles
old
Savannah
highway
so
from
the
Broad
River
Bridge
at
sc170
to
the
Paris
Island
Gateway.
That's
Parker's,
right
there
so
two
miles
that
we
wind
from
two
lanes
to
the
five
Lanes.
We
added
the
nuclear
Bridge.
We
had
the
existing
one,
we
added
the
second
one
there
on
the
left.
This
was
with
our
2000
sleep
sales
tax.
B
We
made
three
new
miles
of
Bluffton
Parkway
from
where
it
ended
at
burn,
church
and
tied
it
in
here
with
the
flyover
at
Bluffton
flave
into
278..
So
three
miles
of
Miami
this
one
week
in
sc170
we
caught
some
rfans
when
President
Obama
was
there,
he
had
done
an
infrastructure
deal
and
we
had
ready
to
go
projects
and
we
caught
major
funding
on
both
of
these.
So
a
lot
of
grant
funding
in
this
Boundary
Street.
This
was
the
last
project
on
2006
sales
tax.
Any
guesses.
When
this
project
completed.
J
F
B
Was
after
you
got
them
canceled,
so
I
actually
served
as
a
project
manager
on
the
construction
of
this.
It
started
in
2015
and
was
finished
in
2019.
Would
anybody
say
that
this
project
was
not
a
successful
project?
Was
it
successful?
Yes,
but
it
was
2006
I
got.
It
was
fully
funded
in
2012
and
not
finished
until
2019,
so
13
years
after
it
was
initiated,
this
project
got
completed.
All
those
projects,
I
just
listed,
were
all
2006..
Most
of
them
lasted
Beyond
2012.
was
the
program
successful,
absolutely
implementation,
not
the
same.
B
We
have
a
bridge
on
2018
four
miles
of
winding
and
the
and
the
278
bridge
this
bridge
we
knew
was
not
going
to
be
done
in
2028.
So
the
idea
that
we
haven't
got
it
started
is
not
an
accurate
statement.
The
same
thing
with
ladies
Island
Corridor.
So
this
project
goes
three
and
a
half
miles
of
improvement.
It's
72
million
dollars
is
the
price
tag
and
we've
got
30
million
dollars.
B
We're
working
through
it
now
and
lastly,
is
the
path
list
so
on
every
single
pathway,
24
Pathways
that
we
had
has
more
right-of-way
acquisition
than
the
entire
stretch
of
278
Corridor
project.
We
have
two
right-of-way
Acquisitions
on
the
corridor
and
every
one
of
these
has
three
or
more.
These
projects
are
just
as
difficult
as
any
other
Transportation.
Basically,
we
have
24
individual
Road
price,
but
we
got
to
do
right
away
acquisition,
utility
relocation
and
permitting
on
24
select
pathways.
B
Are
we
going
to
get
them
done
absolutely?
Will
we
get
them
done
in
four
years?
Definitely
not.
Will
we
be
successful?
Absolutely
so
don't
let
anybody
tell
you
that
we
haven't
been
successful
in
in
implementing
projects
this
other
statement.
This
is
regressive.
That's
the
first
thing
you're
going
to
hear
when
you
say
three
pennies,
that's
extra
tax!
Well,
is
it
let's
take
a
look
at
it
and
again
with
the
special
mix
of
the
super
pennies?
This
is
how
we
can
look
at
it.
So
just
say:
in
this
example,
a
family
makes
forty
thousand
dollars.
B
So
this
is
the
low
end,
forty
thousand
dollars
and
lives
in
140
000
house.
So
there
are
four
percenter
and
they
live
in
unincorporated
Beaufort,
County
I,
don't
know
where
that
120
000
house
is
in
Beaver
County.
But
let's
just
go
with
the
example,
so
their
tax
bills,
714
dollars
as
mentioned
educational
sales
tax,
can
pay
back
existing
debt.
Our
school
district
has
350
million
dollars
going
for
debt.
So
on
day
one
if
education
sales
tax
was
approved,
they
could
pay
off
that
existing
debt.
B
So
right
off
the
rip,
174
deduction,
County
debt,
part
of
our
County
debt,
could
be
projects
that
are
in
capital
project
sales
tax.
Again,
let's
just
assume
that
half
of
it
can
get
rolled
back.
So
all
together
we're
reducing
this.
This
person's
taxes
about
187
a
year
in
abdulillah
their
new
tax
bill,
526
or
26
discount
so
on
the
right
side
is
okay.
Well,
what
would
that
be
replaced
with
these
three
pennies?
B
So,
let's
assume
that
forty
thousand
dollars
a
year
disposable
income
is
twenty
percent,
so
eight
thousand
dollars
times
the
three
additional
pennies
is
240
a
year.
So
in
this
particular
case
this
is
still
the
basically
lowest
wage
out
there,
with
the
smallest
house
in
Beaufort
County.
His
taxes
do
go
up,
but
only
by
four
dollars
and
forty
two
cents
a
month
that
is
less
than
one
cup
of
coffee
at
Starbucks
and
with
that
they're.
B
Getting
this
overwhelmingly
large
investment
all
right
just
to
fast
forward
a
little
bit
same
example,
but
a
little
bit
more
Sally
a
little
bit
bigger
house,
500
000
house,
so
their
taxes
go
down
to
reduction
782
and
you
do
the
math
on
both
sides.
This
one
has
actually
a
decrease
in
taxes
of
2.67,
so
it's
nominal,
it's
not
like
the
lowest
is
paying
that
much
more
or
the
higher
ones
are
getting
that
much
less.
However,
let's
go
back
to
the
lowest
one
again,
so
this
forty
thousand,
so
the
the
school
district
has.
B
The
in
2019
went
out
for
350
million
dollars
in
in
bond
reference
that
was
approved,
overwhelmingly
approved,
that
was
half
of
their
facilities
master
plan.
There's
discussions
about
them
going
out
for
the
rest
of
that
half
potentially
early
as
this
November
23..
If
they
do
that,
that
is
700
million
dollars
in
debt
that
will
be
placed
on
ad
valorem
taxes,
so
their
debt
increases
from
the
174
on
the
last
page
to
348..
B
So
now,
on
day,
one
we
could
bond
that
money
out
of
Education
parole
back
to
taxes
and
then
their
their
bill
is
reduced
by
361,
and
you
compare
that
to
the
other
side,
it
still
stays
the
same
at
240
dollars.
So
this
individual
now
receives
a
decrease
in
taxes
of
ten
dollars
and
eight
cents
because
of
of
the
debt
increase
on
the
school
debt,
any
questions
on
that
no
I'll
burn
through
it
kind
of
fast
all
right,
I've
got
a
little
bit
more
ground
than
Pulver
and
I'll
get
through
it
all
right.
B
This
one
I
heard
this
when
we're
doing
the
tax
oversight
committee
advisory
committee.
This
is
one
that
we
had
well,
the
citizens,
don't
trust
local
government.
We
can't
do
anything
greater
than
four
years
or
or
whatever
the
years
are.
Well,
we
just
we
have
a
long
track
record
of
successfully
delivering
projects.
That
is
indisputable.
That
is
why
I
gave
you
those
pictures
in
hand.
So
you
can
go
tell
that
constituent.
Look
at
all
the
projects
we've
done.
There
is
basically
maybe
two
roads
in
Beaufort
County.
B
That
I
can
think
of
that
have
been
improved
over
the
last
25
years
of
which
sales
tax
was
not
involved,
and
that's
the
Harbor
Island
Bridge
and
I
think
the
riding
on
Sam's
Point
from
from
Walgreens
to
the
circle
didn't
have
any
sales
tax
money.
Every
other
Road,
that's
been
improved
in
the
last
25
years,
had
sales
tax,
so
we
are
successful
in
delivering
major
infrastructure
and,
secondly,
I
think
we
can
establish
a
tax
adverse
adversary
committee
advisory.
Sorry,
thank
you.
B
I
couldn't
get
it
out
advisory
committee
and
this
is
a
committee,
so
we
did
it
last
year.
It
was
one
of
them
that
made
a
recommendation
and
they
disbanded.
I
think
this
is
something
that
stays
with
the
program
and
it
can
stay
for
all
three
Innings
potentially
so,
rather
than
have
three
different
routes,
we
got
one
group
and
every
quarter
we
update
or
whatever
that
looks
like
we
can.
We
can
Hammer
that
out
all
right.
So,
lastly,
why
why
the
super
finish?
So
here's
the
major
bullets.
This
is
the
largest
feasible
Community
investment.
B
Now
we
have
remember
that
the
granite
in
our
asphalt
is
because
it's
abundantly
available,
it
may
not
be
cheap
to
do
granted
on
in
Hawaii
because
they
don't
have
Granite.
They
got
lava
stone.
So
here
this
is
our
most
abundant
resource.
Let's
use
it.
A
large
percentage
I
haven't
talked
about
this
comes
from
visitors
again,
that's
why
our
per
capita
was
so
highs,
because
we
got
a
lot
of
out-of-towners
playing.
Let
me
give
you
an
example
of
what
this
looks
like
and
the
power
of
Leverage
a
case
example
in
278.
B
So
when
278
started
it
was
a
240
million
dollar
project.
It
was
ranged
between
200
and
400
and
then,
as
they
were
fine-tuning
to
240
million
dollars.
This
was
Beaufort
County's
project.
It
was
our
vision,
dot
wasn't
even
on
board,
they
weren't
doing
anything
and
if
they
weren't
doing
anything,
they're
only
going
to
do
the
one
one
span.
So
we
said:
okay,
let's
go
put
this
out
of
referendum.
We're
gonna
get
80
million
dollars.
B
We
knew
at
the
time
that
one
that
was
not
the
cost
of
the
project
and
two
that
it
was
going
to
take
longer
than
four
years
to
build
this
position,
but
we
did
it
so
we
we
got
the
vision,
we
sold
it
to
the
public
and-
and
they
said
yes,
we
we
support
that.
Then
we
took
the
D.O.T
and
said
hey.
This
is
our
plan.
This
is
our
vision.
We
got
this
money.
Will
you
join
us
and
they
said?
Well,
we
got
one
Bridge,
that's
structurally
deficient.
We
can
contribute
40
million
dollars.
B
So
now
we've
got
120
million
dollars.
Half
of
the
whole
project
is
so
then
we
write
an
application
to
the
state
infrastructure
bank
and
say:
hey.
We've
got
this
vision
and
we've
got
this
local
match
where
you
come
join
us
and
they
said
yes
at
the
time
we
had
the
highest
rate
application
in
the
entire
State
when
we
applied
for
our
infrastructure,
Bank
funding.
B
So
now
we
got
120
million
dollars,
so
we've
got
a
fully
funded
project
of
which
we
put
in
80
million
dollars
so
for
every
one
dollar
that
we
put
in
and
then
two
dollars.
However,
this
doesn't
take
them
proud
to
our
visitors.
So
let's
just
say
that
and
we'll
get
this
back,
we'll
figure
out
exactly
what
this
number
Bill
Let's
just
use.
40
of
the
sales
taxes
paid
by
out
of
counters
so
follow.
We
put
the
math
I'll
go
through
it
kind
of
quickly,
but
just
trust
me
I,
like
men,
so
all
right.
B
B
Other
words
we're
saying
for
every
one
dollar
that
we
put
in
we're
attracting
four
dollars
from
somebody
else.
That's
the
power
of
Leverage
in
our
visitors
other
highlights
taxes
not
assessed
on
Necessities
sales
tax,
so
housing
gas
groceries
utilities
is
not
assessed
on
the
basic
necessities.
Now,
if
you
go
to
a
restaurant
and
prepare
Foods,
that's
a
different
story,
but
groceries
unprepared
Foods
is
not
taxed
as
mentioned
briefly.
It's
the
same
benefits
but
lost,
but
stronger
and
more
transparent.
B
So
we
do
get
property
tax
rollback
by
paying
off
old
millage
or
debt
millage,
as
well
as
it
has
a
sunset,
whatever
the
years
that
we
picked
25
years
or
whatever
that
is,
whereas
the
local
auction
sales
tax,
you
have
to
get
a
petition
of
the
majority
of
residents
sales
tax
growth
keeps
up
better
with
inflation
and
population
growth
than
property
taxes
every
five
years.
We
do
a
quadreneurial
reassessment
of
the
assessed
value
of
the
properties
in
Beaufort
County,
but
there
is
a
state
statute
that
caps
that
at
15.
B
So
unless
you
sold
your
property,
your
taxes
are
only
going
up
by
15.
My
house
in
the
last
year
or
two
years
has
gone
up
greater
than
50
percent,
so
that
is
not
getting
realized
on
Advil
or
impacts.
However,
as
cost
of
goods
cost
more
so
does
inflation
or
so
does
sales
tax.
It
captures
that
and
as
more
people
move
to
the
area,
sales
tax
captures
all
their
all
their
spending
as
well.
So
sales
tax
keeps
up
better
than
property
tax
and
flexibility
to
fund
Known
Unknown
projects.
B
B
Lastly,
so
this
Quality
of
Life
vision
plan,
it's
not
just
the
county
program.
It's
a
regional.
This
is
cooperative.
You
have
to
obviously
coordinate
with
municipalities.
Next
step
is,
is
lay
out
that
vision
and
plan
of
attack
to
everybody
establish
a
sales
tax
committee
and
coordinate
with
our
Community
Partners.
We
need
help
educating,
educating
folks
about
this
and,
lastly,
just
to
end
with
a
quote.
So
this
is
one
of
my
favorite
quotes.
B
It
reads
a
lot
different,
so
let
me
read
it
to
you:
we
choose
to
go
to
the
moon
in
this
decade
and
let
me
back
up
in
Ted
Beaufort
County.
We
choose
to
be
the
best
place
to
live
in
the
United
States
and
do
other
things
not
because
they
are
easy,
but
because
they
are
hard,
because
that
goal
will
serve
to
organize
and
measure
the
best
of
our
energies
and
skills,
because
that
challenge
is
one
that
we
are
willing
to
accept
when
we
are
unwilling
to
postpone
and
one
which
we
intend
to
win
and
I.
B
A
In
fact,
we
would
be
talking
about
two
decades.
Why
do
I
say
that,
because
we're
gonna
strange
one
for
Green
Space,
we
already
have
one
he
built
in
so
now
we
will
have
to
decide.
Do
we
want
to
go
after
one
more
pattern
or
two
points
that
will
be
our
decision
because,
as
I
started
off,
we
know
what
we're
going
to
look
like
in
20
years.
It's
your
presentation
that
says
how
do
we
get
there?
How
do
we
get
the
best
bang
for
everyone?
H
D
And
the
others
Jeff
some
of
the
pushback
that
I
think
you'll
hear
from
some
residents
it's
if,
if
Hilton
Head
is
the
number
one
go-to
destination,
County
as
a
whole
is
growing
one
of
the
fastest
in
the
nation.
Why
do
we
have
to
do
more
to
attract
more
people?
That's
going
to
be
a
key
pushback.
B
And
I
think
the
answer
is
we're
not
attracting
more
people.
People
are
coming,
whether
we
advertise
or
not.
That's
just
a
fact,
and
we
need
to
recognize
that
and
realize
that,
so
what
we're
doing
is
in
order
to
be
gridlock
on
your
on
our
road
Network
or
in
order
to
have
places
those
people
who
are
here
to
have
activities
to
do
we're
providing
for
those
specific
opportunities
we're
not
we're
not
deciding
for
future
growth.
Now
future
growth
we'll
use
these
facilities,
but
if
not
they're
coming
regardless.
K
Think
about
the
consequences
if
they
stop
coming
here.
Okay,
that's
that's
a
keep
one!
If
you
don't
come
here,
we're
going
to
have
no
economy,
that
is
our
economic
development
is
tourism
and
service
industry.
If
people
stop
coming
here
as
those
folks,
not
only
Island
would
like
for
us
to
attend
like
we
can
do,
our
economy
is
not
going
to
be
much
of
anything.
A
And
our
Treasurer
eloquently
pointed
out:
it's
not
one
area
of
growth,
it's
about
Bluffton,
it's
not
Hilton
Head!
It
is
in
the
entire
County,
that's
growing
and
will
continue
that
way.
So
all
of
the
things
that
we
can
do
to
assist
the
quality
of
life
by
doing
a
transportation
sales
tax
by
doing
a
capital,
Improvement
sales
tax
or
an
educational
sales
tax,
is
going
to
enhance
that
quality
of
life
without
burn
meeting
the
taxpayer.
B
I
know
that
was
a
lot
so
definitely
two
on
it,
but
as
you
listen
to
presentations
later
in
the
day
from
from
Eric,
as
we
taught
the
facilities
master
plan
and
it's
okay
as
we
talk
parts
and
Rec,
there's
a
lot
of
need
just
between
those
two
telephone
money
and
we
really
don't
have
a
plan
to
get
there
and
I
think
this
could
be
an
opportunity
for
that.
So
thanks.
F
Really
fascinating
the
you,
but.
F
F
The
school
district
can
be
included
in
projects-
it's
almost
like
sitting
down
with
them
to
get
them
to
buy
into
that
Penny
sale
tax
for
their
purposes,
because
they're
going
to
come
and
they're
going
to
come
to
us
for
money,
USC's
constantly
coming
to
us,
and
they
came
to
us
for
that
Center
that
they
want
to
put
out
there.
So
it's
really
taking
what
you
have
here
as
a
as
a
marketing
Tool
and
use
it
for
them
and
if
they
buy
into
it,
we
got
infrastructure
needs
here
in
the
county.
F
I
think
that's
to
me
over
the
next
year
and
a
half
that
could
be
a
win-win
situation
for
the
next
referendum.
Just
to
come.
It's
a
matter
of
sitting
down
with
the
school.
The
universities
and
the
school
district
see
if
they
could
buy
into
this,
as
well
as
municipalities,
yep,
because
they
will
be
included
in
this
as
well,
and
it
can
be
extended
to
doing
well
what
else
is
not
going
to
give
up
their
Penny
sale
tax?
That's
right,
yeah!
So.
H
F
Been
there
for
years,
they
will
probably
continue
and
it's
a
good
Revenue
source
for
Citizens,
where
I
talk
about
the
reduction.
The
only
problem
I
I,
see
that
could
happen
to
us
is
that
citizen
rules
view
us
as
getting
a
slush
performance
and
continue
to
raise
taxes,
but
if
we
can
level
off
and
show
them
that
we're
not
going
to
be
raising
their
taxes,
but
we're
going
to
also
improve
our
quality
of
life.
F
With
that
one
sense,
when
we
talked
about
the
last
one
cent
sale,
tax
I
asked
people
who
are
in
opposition
to
it.
I
said:
did
you
know
when
the
last
penny
started?
They
said
no
I
said:
did
you
know
when
to
stop?
They
said
no
I
said
in
that
two
and
a
half
year
period
of
time
you
raised
135
million
dollars
and
they
didn't
realize
that
yep
I
think
it's
a
good
selling
too.
If
we
can
get
more
Partners
to
buy
into
it
and
we'd
be
all
transparent
and
everybody's
above
board
moving
forward.
B
B
I
think
there's
opportunities
for
us
to
coordinate
in
Jasper
County
and
even
potentially
the
other
counties,
Colleton
and
Hampton,
all
the
ones
that
we
share
any
borders
with
and
and
encourage
them
on
a
similar
journey,
and
maybe
there's
some
way
to
reciprocate
to
show
them
that
hey.
This
is
a
regional
thing.
We
understand
a
lot
of
our
Workforce
comes
from
outside
of
our
boundaries,
so
I
think
it's
something
for
us
to
coordinate
with
those
entities
as
we
develop
them
all.
B
Jasper,
actually
on
this,
they
had
three
pennies.
They
fully
collected
as
of
December
their
transportation,
Penny
and
they're,
considering
a
new
Transportation
opinion
24..
So
that
would
be
in
line
with
our
considerations.
L
On
the
line,
you
are
all
good,
a
couple
things,
one
Jared,
your
creativity
continues
to
Astound
me
time
and
time
again,
we've
been
having
a
meeting
the
past
couple
weeks
with
David
and
myself,
and
you
and
the
team.
You
know
a
lot
of
different
ideas
for
the
county.
L
With
that
said,
one
of
the
things
that
I
said
in
that
meeting
with
you
was
I
wanted
to
get
a
head
start
on.
This
I
was
I
pushed
for
the
green
space.
I
was
very
surprised,
I
passed
because
we
did
not
have
a
lot
of
time
to
put
it
together,
and
it
was
very
quick,
quick.
We
even
had
to
call
an
extra
meeting
to
get
it
voted
on
in
time.
L
I
was
against
lost
because
of
no
end
date
and
I.
Think
part
of
it
passed
too,
because
you
put
it
on
with
two
different
referendums
at
the
same
time,
one
for
change
of
government,
one
for
loss
as
well
as
nobody
really
knew
what
the
funding
source
was
going
to,
because
again
that
got
passed,
I
believe
in
August,
and
we
voted
on
November
so
not
much
time
either.
So
one
of
the
things
I
think
if
we
are
going
to
go
down
this
road
of
doing
this,
there
is
still
an
end
date.
L
So
it's
something
I
can
get
behind
you're
the
first
person
to
even
make
me
waver
on
short-term
sales
taxes
and
I
told
you
that
before
I
don't
get
persuaded
very
easily,
but
you
have
definitely
done
that
over
our
last
couple
meetings.
L
So
the
end
date
is
there.
You
know
the
funding
goal.
Is
there
so
I
think
that
checks
a
lot
of
boxes
for
residents
here
in
Beaufort
County?
When
we
can
come
out
and
say
listen,
this
is
more
than
just
the
simplest
of
projects.
This
is
our
package.
This
is
what
we
have
thought
about
doing.
There
is
an
end
date,
there's
no
petition
to
end
it.
There
is
a
main
goal
for
the
cap
on
it.
Whatever
we've
had
to
put
that
on
based
on
the
algorithms
to
become
too
the
vibe.
L
L
So
if
the
school
board
decides
to
go
forward
with
the
sales
tax
that
we
put
forward
but
doesn't
reduce
the
debt,
then
our
residents
are
paying
more
they're,
not
getting
that
reduction
that
they're
supposed
to
get
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
and
we
have
time
we're
starting
these
conversations
now,
if
this
is
something
we
want
to
move
forward
with,
I
think
we
need
to
agree
in
the
next
couple
months
to
be
honest
as
a
counselor.
This
is
something
we
want
to
start
going
forward
because
we
have
to
go
talk
to
municipalities.
L
We
have
to
go
talk
to
the
school
board
and
we
got
to
iron
out
these
little
details,
because
if
it's
not
everyone
on
board,
there's
no
way
we
can
get
this
passed
at
least
I,
don't
believe
so,
and
then,
lastly,
whether
whether
people
like
it
or
not,
we
have
to
get
Bluffton
on
board
and
that's
you
know:
Joe
Eric,
Joe,
Mark,
myself
and
Paula.
That
area
is
going
to
be
a
huge
boating
area
on
this
referendum.
L
There's
not
a
lot
of
things
in
Bluffton.
We
talk
about
because
it
is
growing
the
way
it
is
so
you
know
we
talk
about
Buck
Walter's,
already
new
real
Bluffton
Parkway.
Is
it
already
a
new
road?
Yes,
we
talk
a
ton
about
278,
but
most
of
the
projects
we
talk
about
are
Hilton,
Head
and
Beaufort.
When
it
comes
to
roads.
L
Schools,
though,
is
in
Bluffton,
so
I
just
want
to
figure
out
how
we
ensure
that
you
know
those
four
districts
that
I
listed
on
board
with
this,
because
we're
gonna
need
that
support
to
get
this
across
that
50
line
I
mean
it's
just
statistics
of
the
way
the
Voting
is
going
to
go
so
I
I
really
am
on
board
for
the
idea,
I
think
it's
a
lofty
goal.
I
told
you
guys
when
I
first
got
on,
go
big
or
go
home,
so
I'm
open
and
willing
to
advocate
for
this.
L
If
we
can
come
up
with
a
plan
together,
all
11
of
us
with
your
team
Jared
and
the
rest
of
the
administration
team
to
get
this
done,
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
and
I
think.
If
we're
Progressive
now
we
can
make
the
improvements
without
being
the
congestion
and
overgrowth
of
Myrtle,
Beach,
Charleston
and
Greenville,
but
be
able
to
still
have
the
benefits
of
those
areas.
J
D
M
Yeah
pleasure
to
be
with
you
today
to
talk
about
the
capital
project
plan
that
we've
been
that
we're
working
on
for
your
budget
this
year
with
me
is
Pinky
Harriet.
You
know,
she's
standing
behind
me,
she's,
going
to
be
my
backup,
If
I
Stumble
on
a
question
or
don't
have
an
answer
for
some
of
these
projects.
M
What
I
want
to
do
is
just
give
you
a
brief,
brief
explanation
of
the
capital
projects,
Department,
it's
a
new
Department
new
team
for
the
county,
and
you
know
split
it
splitting
it
away
from
engineering
to
put
up
more
focus
into
the
capital
projects,
as
you've
seen
already
today,
with
the
master
facility
plan
and
all
the
other
plans
that
are
in
place
that
there
are
tremendous
needs
for
the
county
and
projects
that
are
rolling
year
after
year,
so
this
apartment
was
created
in
part
to
to
work
through
the
backlog
and
to
start
moving
forward
with
some
of
the
implementation
of
our
goals
and
visions.
M
We
have
two
documents
that
were
that
we
work
on
and
use
as
the
basis
of
our
program,
the
policy
document.
You
will
see
soon
we're
we're
drafting
a
short
policy
document
that
you
will
have
an
opportunity
to
report
on
or
provide
feedback
on
and
adopt.
It
basically
says
this
is
how
we
go
about
the
capital
planning
process.
M
It
we'll
just
explain
the
applicability
of
the
program,
the
process
that
we
go
through
with
selecting
and
identifying
and
selecting
our
projects,
the
process
of
adopting
that
and
rolling
it
into
the
plan
and
the
administration
of
that
plan.
After
it's
done,
the
program
manual
is
much
more
detailed.
We
actually
have
that
plan,
it's
a
2010
vintage
plan
that
was
put
on
put
together
by
the
engineering
department
again
a
number
of
years
ago.
M
That
goes
in
it
rolls
in
the
policy
document
as
part
of
one
of
the
chapters,
but
it
goes
into
much
more
detail
about
the
process
of
creating
a
committee
submitting
projects,
reviewing
projects,
ranking
those
projects
and
searching
funding
sources
to
implement
those
projects,
and
then
it
it
becomes
a
instruction
guide
for
the
capital
projects,
Department
and
project
managers
with
the
design,
construction
and,
ultimately,
the
maintenance
of
all
the
projects
that
come
out
of
that
plan.
M
Some
of
the
things
we're
currently
working
on
now
is
obviously
the
implementation
of
the
2023
plan.
The
projects
that
are
in
that
plan
we
are
a
small
But,
Mighty
group,
that
is
the
capital
projects
department.
Now
we
have
one
full-time
project
manager,
Mark
Sutton.
We
have
Mark
rosenow
our
facilities
manager
that
plays
double
duty
as
a
capital
projects
manager,
I'm
a
working
manager.
I
got
several
projects
of
my
own
that
I
am
supervising
and
managing
those
capital
projects.
In
addition
to
supervising
the
department-
and,
of
course
pinky
is,
is
our
backup.
M
M
So
that's
going
to
be
the
first.
Our
first
bullet
is
to
do
that.
We're
currently
in
the
process
of
updating
the
capital
plan.
I'm
going
to
show
you
here
in
a
moment
the
draft
of
that
and
kind
of
the
the
framework
that's
going
to
make
up
the
24
plan,
the
long
to
include
it
in
the
budget.
Excuse
me
we're
going
to
bring
forward
that
policy
document.
M
Like
I
said
a
few
moments
ago
and
then
starting
in
fiscal
year,
24
we're
going
to
start
working
on
that
program
manual
and
update
and
again
it's
it's
going
on.
13
years
old
and
oh
I
hit
the
wrong
button
with
the
next
fiscal
year.
You've
heard
Mark.
Excuse
me,
you've
heard
Chuck
and
Jared
both
speak
of
the
impacting
program
before
once.
The
new
impact
food
program
goes
into
the
implementation
phase.
M
We
will
be
assisting
with
the
management
record
keeping
of
that
program,
as
you've
heard
them
present
before
there's
a
finite
amount
of
time
for
spending
funds
he's
impacting
funds,
and
these
funds
are
typically
for
expansion
of
services
due
to
growth,
and
it
has
a
logical
Nexus
with
the
capital
Improvement
department
for
implementation.
M
We
are
asking
to
expand
staff
here,
see
that
when
the
budget
comes
out
to
increase
our
capacity
to
do
more
projects
faster,
more
in-house
and
less
dependence
on
using
consultants
for
project
management,
which
we
are
doing
currently
we're
doing
a
hybrid
of
both
right
now
and
then
with
the
planning
process.
As
we
develop,
this
new
program
guide
we're
going
to
look
at
the
selection
process
and
how
projects
are
submitted,
how
they're,
ranked
and
scored
and
what
changes
need
to
be
made
to
that
process,
not
really
changes
but
just
enhancements
to
the
process.
M
You
take
into
account
that
there
are
the
big
sexy
projects
and
I'll
call
them.
You
know
the
bridges,
the
Glorious
roadways,
the
two
buildings,
the
cars
are
one
next
door
and
then
there's
the
things
that
you
just
have
to
do
and
they're
not
they're,
not
glamorous
they're,
not
even
exciting,
but
if
you
don't
maintain
systems
in
the
building
roof,
HVAC
Etc,
if
you
don't
Remodel
and
refresh
dealerships
in
the
buildings
over
time,
the
buildings
are
not
being
maintained
in
those
targets.
M
They're
calling
a
disrepair
you'll
see
a
lot
of
that
in
the
capital
plan
and
again
it's
just
part
of
doing
business.
You
have
to
have
those
resources
in
good
condition,
to
support
this
to
have
to
do
their
job,
all
right,
so
I'm,
going
to
quickly
go
through
just
and
I
gave
you
this
for
multiple
reasons.
I
gave
it
to
you
because
it
is
pointing
out
his
hard
seamless
screen,
but
it
also
gives
you
something
to
refer
back
to
I
molded
a
underlined
draft.
This
is
a
draft.
M
This
is
still
going
through
the
process,
but
we
are
working
to
develop
this
program,
but
excuse
me
the
develop
this
plan
and
get
it
turned
in
as
part
of
the
budget
presentation.
The
process
goes
like
this.
You
have
a
call
for
projects.
Those
after
that
happened
back
in
the
fall.
M
Department
had
submitted
their
projects
in
January,
we
formed
a
committee
using
department,
heads
and
other
Representatives
departments
that
have
Capital
needs
to
get
kind
of
that
peer
growth
that
jury
selections,
as
it
were,
to
look
at
all
the
different
requests
from
the
different
departments.
We,
we
interviewed
several
departments
that
came
in
and
gave
presentations
on
their
on
their
projects,
and
then
the
committee
did
a
scoring
process
and
the
purpose
of
doing
the
scoring
process
is
you
have
all
these
projects
that
are
competing
for
funds.
M
Funds
are
going
to
be
limited,
and
so
we
wanted
to
have
some
kind
of
an
organization
process
to
present
with
the
budget
so
that,
as
you
have
those
limited
funds,
you
know
that
you're
using
those
funds
towards
the
most
critical,
the
most
important
projects
that
we
have
in
our
in
our
group.
We
pair
that
up
we're
currently
in
the
committee
ranking
process.
We
pair
that
up
with
Revenue
projections
and
then
we
ultimately
come
up
with
a
list
of
projects
to
go
forward
as
the
approved
budget.
M
The
this
is
a
summary
table
of
what
the
currently
is
submitted
when
you're.
Looking
at
this,
the
First
Column
is
2023,
that's
current.
That
is
actual
and
expected
to
be
spent
by
June
30th.
So
we
think
we're
going
to
end
a
year
with
about
30.
Excuse
me
74
million
dollars
in
projects
completed
or
underway.
M
Well,
that
would
be
the
completed
portion
because
any
project
that's
incomplete.
The
rollover
would
go
into
24
and
you
see
on
the
fully
funded
top
row
that
are
projects
that
we
know
are
fully
funded
they're
under
they're
under
design
they're
under
construction.
They
may
or
may
not
get
done
by
June
30th
they'll
roll
over,
but
it
also
includes
new
projects
that
are
fully
funded,
that
aren't
ready
to
start
until
next
year.
There's
a
lot
there's
a
large
chunk
of
partially
funded
projects.
We
have
money
for
design.
M
We
have
money
for
right-of-way
acquisition
or
land
acquisition.
We
may
have
money
for
construction,
but
only
for
the
first
phase
of
construction.
We
have
other
phases
that
come
after
that
falls
into
the
category
of
partially
funded.
Anything
beyond
24
is
the
non-funded.
Even
though
it's
in
the
fully
funded
row,
it's
actually
non-funded
after
2024
and
those
are
the
anticipated
needs
they
stay
in
that
column,
because
we
know
what
the
funding
source
is
going
to
be.
M
We
have
it
identified,
but
again
the
budget
only
goes
out
for
the
one
year
or
two
years
at
the
most
there's,
also
a
lot
of
special
funding
categories
that
are
in
the
2023
column.
Now
those
funding
sources,
impact
fees,
passive,
smart
funding,
Road
funding,
the
different
sources
of
Road
funding,
egg
tax.
Those
will
get
applied
to
the
unfunded
in
those
future
years,
so
they're
showing
up
in
the
unfunded
category
right
now.
M
607
million
dollars
plus
or
minus
of
project
requests.
203
projects
submitted
this
year,
you'll
see
most
of
them
on
these
slides.
As
comparison
last
year,
we
had
137
projects
at
about
460.
I
have
a
460
million
dollars,
so
the
needs
are
continuing
to
grow.
We
are
knocking,
we
are
chipping
away
at
the
park,
but
the
snowball
is
growing,
as
was
as
we
continue
to
chip
away
at
it.
M
I
put
together
just
a
few
slides
because
I
was
interested
to
see
how
it
kind
of
broke
down
by
department.
So
on
the
right.
Excuse
me
on
the
left.
You
have
a
table
of
all
the
different
departments.
You
submitted
request
in
your
dollar
signs
and
then
I
did
a
pie
chart
on
the
right.
When
I
did
this
first
pie
chart
there's,
obviously
one
huge
piece
of
pie
called
transportation
that
is
going
to
always
be
a
big
big
number.
M
You
know,
Jared
showed
you
some
of
those
needs.
He
showed
you
the
size
of
those
projects
in
the
dollar
signs
Associated
project
roads
are
obviously
not
cheap.
M
If
you
strip
away
that
dollar
sign
just
for
a
second
and
look
at
the
rest
of
them,
there's
still
one
big
huge
slice
of
pie,
that's
Parks
and
Rec
and
again
you
would
expect
that
because
they
have
so
many
needs
and
their
facilities
their
fields,
their
buildings
Etc
have
a
large
price
tag
when
you're
building
moves
and
expanding
those
and
building
out
the
master
plans
and
I
know
Chuck
and
Channing.
M
Speaking
of
that
here
soon
strip
away
the
parks
and
rec
and
start
to
see
a
more
even
distribution
of
Capital
project
requests
throughout
the
entire
accounting,
some
Pro,
some
Department
smaller
than
others,
but
the
distribution
starts
to
look
more
normal,
so
I
just
I.
It
was
interesting
to
me
to
see
where
the
biggest
chunk
of
money
was
going
and
then,
when
you
strip
that
away
what
really
is
getting
done,
Beyond
those
two
big,
those
two
big.
J
M
M
E
M
M
We're
at
the
committee
ranking
level.
The
next
step
is
to
pair
up
these
needs
with
the
revenue
sources
and
that's
when
and
that's
when
we'll
go
to
that
logical
step
where
airport
has
dedicated
funding
sources
coming
from
different
directions,
so
those
will
get
paired
up
with
their
needs
and
they'll
see,
there'll,
be
a
Delta
and
that
Delta
may
become
a
request.
You
did
that
as
an
airport
in
their
submission
that
is
probably
going
to
be
through
the
airport
through
Finance.
M
Be
working
I'll
be
working
extensively
with
Finance
I
thinking,
I'll
be
working
with
them
to
find
out
what
the
revenues
are
where
the
source
is
going
to
be,
so
we
can
roll
that
into
the
plan
instead
of
this
Project's
debate.
This
way,
this
project
will
be
this
way,
Etc
et
cetera.
Until
we
get
to
the
point
where
we
have
a
list
of
unfunded
projects
that
are
ranked
in
priority
in
in
you,
as
the
council
makes
the
decision
which
ones
to
fund
okay
moving
forward,
then.
M
And
I
will
not
go
over
every
single
one
of
these
because
there
is
not
enough
time
in
the
day
to
explain
everyone.
This
projects
to
you
but
I
do
want
to
highlight
just
a
few
of
these
all
into
two
categories.
As
I
said
a
second
ago.
These
are
the
big
sexies
or
they're
just
big
ones.
The
big
costs
are
the
must-haves.
M
So
you
see
within
the
current,
fully
funded
completion
of
the
Arthur
horn,
complex
the
administration
building,
roof
replacement,
which
you
can
hear
every
once
in
a
while,
and
you
see
when
you
came
in
the
building,
we
have
the
the
three
pools
for
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department.
That
is
an
ongoing
project
where
we
are
working
to
fix
the
roofs
fix
the
building
envelopes,
the
HVAC
systems
to
correct
a
lot
of
problems
that
these
pools
have
with
climate
control
and
and
corrosion.
M
That
sort
of
thing
you
see
those
projects
listed,
Port,
Royal
Library
is
in
design
and
that's
a
new
facility.
You've
heard
about
that's
on
the
list
and
then
the
dafusky
fairy
projects
that
are
Arbor
funded
they're
in
here
and
you'll,
hear
more
about
those
I'm
sure
from
Hank.
Tomorrow,
The
partially
funded
projects.
Again
these
are
projects
that
may
have
they
have
some
funding,
but
they
may
not
have
all
the
funding
they
need
to
finish
design
or
finish
construction
and
there's
a
long
list
of
those
as
I
mentioned.
M
These
are
the
ones
that
committee
has
spent
most
of
the
time
with
prioritizing
because
as
they're
as
these
projects
compete
for
those
additional
available
dollars,
these
are
ranked
in
prioritize
so
that
you
know
which
ones
are
kind
of
flowed
into
the
top
again
I'll
mention
a
few
highlights
in
here.
We
mentioned
earlier
this
morning
about
the
renovation
of
this
room
here
and
the
rest
of
the
building.
The
administration
building
office.
M
Renovations
is
in
here
another
I
guess
if
you
want
to
put
it
in
the
category
of
big,
and
sexy
is
the
headquarters
for
EMS,
that's
currently
under
design
we're
building
a
new
or
remodeling
fire
station
in
Sun
City.
As
you're
aware
of
you
mentioned
the
airport,
there
are
a
couple
there's
a
hanger
and
a
Runway
taxiway
in
this
list.
M
The
construction
material
recovery
facility
Jared
showed
a
picture
of
one.
That's
definitely
big
I,
don't
know
how
sexy
it
is.
It's
big
and
stinky,
but
it's
definitely
a
big
project,
that's
needed,
and
then
you
know
the
278
Corridor
Improvement
is
another
one.
That's
on
this
list.
You
see
several
Transportation
projects
in
this
list
of
partially
fundeds
that
are
still
looking
for
that
full
funding.
As
Jared
was
presenting
just
a
few
moments
ago,
then
you
get
into
the
unfunded
projects.
M
There
are
several
pages
of
these
and
I
won't
do
them
all,
but
some
of
the
let's
get
one
home
pages
on
the
transportation
ones
that
Jared
mentioned
any
of
these
I'm
not
going
to
go
over
them
again,
but
he
mentioned
the
triangle
project
to
Bridges
the
278,
the
170
Island,
one
project
that
I
highlighted
because
it's
such
a
large
dollar
amount
is
Road
resurfacing
as
a
civil
engineer
and
transportation.
M
Guy
myself,
you
know
the
importance
of
resurfacing
and
maintaining
your
roads
is
just
as
critical
as
building
the
new
ones
and
widening
them,
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
I
wanted
to
point
that
out
as
a
lead,
that
is
in
transportation,
plan
Parks
and
Rec
has
their
own
slide
as
well,
just
because
of
the
number
of
projects
they
have.
You
have
everything
from
the
expansion
of
their
Master
plans
at
the
Buckwalter
rec
center
and
the
Burton
Wales
Rec
Center.
M
You
also
have
community
centers
in
here
several
community
centers
and
they're,
not
exciting
projects
they're,
not
even
that
they're,
not
even
that
noteworthy.
But
if
you
don't
maintain
these
facilities,
that
are
community
centers
and
they
don't
keep
them
updated
and
keep
them
well
maintained,
they're
going
to
fall
in
disrepair,
you
have
several
projects
that
are
in
that
category,
where
we're
doing
some
upgrades
of
their
systems,
their
roofs,
their
finishes,
that
sort
of
thing
and
you've
got
several
of
them
listed
there,
including
Lauren
Brown
Center.
M
We've
got
that
currently
under
design,
going
to
be
a
very
scene
on
the
remodel
of
that
building.
The
unfunded
list
continues
with
different
departments
listed
out.
You
have
the
Broad
River
fishing,
pier,
probably
another
one.
That's
kind
of
high
profile,
solid
waste,
Transfer
Facility
gets
tossed
around
quite
a
bit.
That's
a
large
ticket
item.
That's
on
the
list.
Drainage
improvements
at
Shell
Point,
that's
kind
of
a
high
profile
project.
For
many
reasons,
nobody
likes
to
see
flooding,
Ms
Howard.
That's
an
example.
M
M
When
is
the
need
for
that
and
we're
going
to
fund
that
Highway,
170,
Corridor
campus
or
an
expansion
of
our
administrative
or
law
enforcement
we've
had
that
in
the
master
plan
we
talked
about
that
back
in
November,
looking
for
a
site
within
that
Corridor
that
can
be
used
for
such
a
campus,
Spanish,
moss,
Trail
pedestrian
bridge.
That's
one
of
my
projects
that
I'm
that
I'm
pushing
through
bidding
right.
Now,
it's
not
it's
a
highly
used
trail.
It's
very
important!
It's
infrastructure,
that's
failing!
M
Is
it
going
to
make
the
front
page
when
we
finish
it
and
have
a
big
we're
going
to
be
cutting
I
doubt
it?
But
if
we
don't
fix
it,
it's
going
to
fall
in
and
nobody's
gonna
be
able
to
use.
You
know
the
trails
but
a
very
important
project,
and
then
another
big
price
tag
went
on
here
is
I've
been
talking
with
mosquito
control.
Is
there
a
need
for
the
laboratory
and
that
carries
a
hefty
price
tag
and
it's
been
on
them
the
list
of
needs
year
after
year?
M
They
continue
on
you
get
into
the
Detention
Center.
The
Detention
Center
has
a
lot
of
updates
and
and
just
restoration
of
their
current
facility
that
they
have.
Some
of
them
are
safety
features.
Some
of
them
are
security
issues,
and
so
those
are
showing
they
show
on
the
unfunded
list.
I
think
it
was
mentioned
very
early
this
morning.
M
They
have
a
one
million
dollar
kind
of
set
of
side
that
was
put
there
for
him
to
help
their
needs
are
exceed
a
million
dollars,
so
we're
working
with
them
and
we're
ranking
and
prioritizing
their
needs,
which
ones
do
we
attack
first
with
one
second,
third
Etc.
M
It
is
the
hits
just
keep
coming
down,
so
the
plastic
parts-
okay,
she
has
some
needs
in
here
that
go
beyond
what
her
current
home
allows,
and
so
those
are
identified
in
the
plan,
and
then
you
know
even
even
finishing
up
the
list
with
collaborative
system
they
have
needs
that
have
been
identified.
Funding
is
not
completely
in
place
yet,
but
you've
heard
about
some
of
those
projects
that,
over
the
last
several
months.
F
Two
things
you
you
mentioned
the
ladies
Island
Hilton
Head
hangers,
that's
funded.
Oh.
F
It's
not
fun:
oh
okay,
okay,
then,
the
other
commissioner
Fremont,
eight
million
dollars,
let's
see,
what's
there.
M
Right
at
this
point,
let
me
go
back
to
a
previous
slide.
When
I
said
draft
bold
and
underlined,
we
apparently
have
got
a
number
in
the
wrong
column
on
that
one.
So
I'll
work
on
getting
that
correct.
M
If
that
is
the
case,
we'll
get
with
Stephanie
make
sure
we
haven't
made
a
nerve
in
the
translation
from
the
software
to
the
spreadsheet.
Okay.
Chair
has
several
options:
projects
as
well.
The
last
slides,
I
have
and
I
I
can't
speak
to
these
in
with
great
amount
of
knowledge,
but
this
is
in
the
hands
of
our
fleet
manager
and
Todd's
working
on
those
right
now,
he's
he's
doing
the
same
process
with
vehicles
that
I
just
explained
with
buildings
and
projects
he's
looking
at
the
needs.
M
He's
looking
at
prioritizations
he's
looking
at
what
funding
will
be
made
available
to
him
and
job
as
fleet
manager,
so
I'm
not
going
to
steal
this
under
and
try
to
talk
about
all
these,
but
you
got
two
or
three
pages
of
vehicle
requests
and
Equipment
request.
You
know
you
got
again
even
with
vehicles,
you
have
the
things
that
everybody's
excited
to
see
new
shiny
ambulances,
that
sort
of
thing,
but
then
you
have
lawn
molds.
You
have
pick
up
trucks.
M
M
Airport
operations
again
funding
sources
will
be
defined
at
some
point,
whether
or
not
the
I
don't
know
which
funding
sort
that's
going
to
be
at
this
time,
but
the
airport
has
quite
a
few
vehicle
requests
and
Equipment
request
on
here
and
again
you
have
these
with
you.
You
can
look
at
those
in
more
detail
later.
M
And
then
they
continue
on
with
you
know,
everything
from
dump
trucks
to
pick
up
trucks
to,
as
the
former
stormwater
manager,
I
remember,
buying
the
last
vacuum
truck.
It's
amazing
to
me
that
the
thing's
already
added
to
end
of
its
useful
life,
because
I
thought
that
was
a
once
in
a
lifetime
purchase
but
I,
nicknamed
it
Snuffleupagus.
Nobody
else
did
but
I
always
thought
that
the
the
truck
was
kind
of
neat
to
have.
M
H
M
F
Now
but
one
more
question:
let's
listen,
there's
some
about
a
year
or
two.
You
know
a
little
longer
than
a
couple
years
ago
we
were
talking
about
towels
and
emergency
towels
things
put
up
throughout
the
county
and
we
were
supposed
to
start
with
a
few
and
then.
F
H
M
P
K
Q
So
what
I
have
asked
our
staff
to
do
in
the
development
Recreation
division
is
to
add
context
and
support
to
what
you've
already
heard
today.
So
you
heard
the
Personnel
piece
the
needs,
some
of
the
challenges
there
we
talked
about,
Transportation
needs,
Jared
covered
a
lot
of
the
the
funding
options
and
funding
needs.
You
heard
from
the
CIP
folks
you
note
that
a
lot
of
stuff
in
my
division
is
on
that
list.
Q
In
addition,
for
that
to
round
us
out
for
the
day,
we
have
our
Parks
and
Rec
master
plan
consultant
wooden
Partners
here
today
and
Neely
is
going
to
join
online
I
believe
in
Indianapolis,
oh
somewhere,
where
it's
much
colder
than
it
is
here,
and
he
is
going
to
give
an
update
to
the
detailed
update
they're
going
to
give
on
where
we
stand,
we're
getting
pretty
close
to
wrapping
that
up
and
instead
of
giving
all
that
at
one
time,
we
thought
this
was
a
really
good
opportunity
to
sort
of
give
you
a
primer
here.
Q
We
are
where
we've
been
and
then,
when
we
get
the
presentation
in
a
few
weeks,
we
will
have
already
heard
most
of
it
once
so.
No
further
Ado
I
will
ask
our
library,
director,
Savannah
Dickman.
Please
come
up
and
provide
her
information.
Thank
you.
S
You
know
Librarians
don't
come
empty-handed,
so
we
always
try
to
give
away
things
for
free
and
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
you
had
our
latest
giveaways
that
we
provide
at
festivals
and
other
Outreach
events
that
we
attend
to
encourage
all
of
Beaufort,
County
guests
and
residents
to
read.
So
you
all
have
a
reed
bag.
It
says
read
on
the
cover
of
that:
it
has
our
logo
on
it
and
the
interior
contents
are
our
most
up-to-date
welcome
aboard
brochure.
S
You'll
know,
it
looks
you'll
see
that
it
looks
like
a
key
card
holder
that
you
would
get
at
a
hotel
and
that's
because
we
wanted
something
very
compact,
very
quick
that
would
hold
that
new
library
card
and
welcome
somebody
to
joining
the
library
system.
You
also
have
my
signature:
peppermint
I,
don't
brand
those
I
don't
buy
those
but
I
keep
them
stocked
in
my
office
so
that
people
will
number
one
want
to
visit
me
and
number
two
enjoy
that
visit.
S
S
Presently
you'll
see
in
the
map
next
there
across
the
county,
spread
out
and
planned
to
be
somewhat
equidistant
and
close
to
the
population
where,
where
it
lives,
works
and
plays,
we
have
the
downtown
Beaufort
Library,
as
well
as
on
the
second
floor
of
the
local
history
or
the
BDC
Beaufort
District
collection
archives
in
our
Bluffton
Library
you're,
very
familiar
with
that,
has
recently
been
renovated.
It
opened
last
January
with
a
new
upfitting,
our
Hilton
Head
Library,
very
close
to
the
airport,
our
lobiko
library,
Mr
Dawson
in
your
area
and
our
Saint
Helena
Library
Mr
villover.
S
S
S
You
see
a
young,
a
young
reader
holding
an
animal,
a
cat
dog.
We
have
special
story
times
throughout
the
year
where
students
get
to
read
to
their
favorite
pet.
You
also
see
in
the
other
corner
at
our
St
Helena
Library,
a
local
lecture,
or
perhaps
a
public
meeting
Maybe
by
your
governing
body
or
School
District
or
another
non-profit
organization,
using
our
meeting
room.
Of
course,
in
the
bottom
corner
we
have
books,
we
also
have
computers,
Wi-Fi
and,
as
I
mentioned
a
minute
ago,
our
local
history
collection.
S
S
When
you
check
out
a
book,
you
don't
swipe
your
credit
card,
just
ask
for
your
library
card.
It's
only
a
place
that
offers
a
place
to
sit
down.
You
can
pull
off
the
newspaper
or
a
magazine
and
browse
that
you
can
attend
a
story
time
with
your
kids
or
your
grandkids.
You
can
be
rewarded
in
the
summer
for
summer
reading
and
this
time
of
year
you
could
have
your
taxes
done
for
free
by
our
local
volunteer
organizations
that
host
that
service
in
our
libraries,
the
public
library,
is
way
more
than
books
and
I.
S
S
We
circulated
nearly
1
million
items,
666
000
physical
items.
You
can
hold
in
your
hand
or
watch
on
a
DVD
or
play
in
a
CD
player
and
162
446,
digital
or
downloadable
items.
We
answer
55
000
questions
that
was
fun
and
a
pleasure.
Our
web
page
received
304
000
website
hits
we
offered
50
000
Wi-Fi
sessions
to
use
that
in
comparison
to
my
previous
example,
that
would
be
a
lot
of
clips
of
coffee.
S
So
this
is
in
the
upper
right
hand,
corner
you
see,
students
who
are
standing
in
front
of
a
balloon
art
display
at
our
Hilton
Head
Library
just
completing
summer
reading.
You
see
a
gentleman
playing
music
for
a
lecture
that
was
held
at
our
Bluffton
Library.
You
see
a
library
director
in
a
cat
costume,
doing
story
time
for
kids
at
lamico.
You
see
adults
attending
a
writer's
writer
workshop
at
the
Hilton
Head
Library
in
the
upper
corner.
S
You
see
some
young
readers
who
have
dressed
in
their
cultural
costume
or
outfit
to
to
show
showcase
to
our
larger
Community
Hispanic.
Here
during
you
also
see
a
gentleman
from
the
lobica
library
holding
a
pumpkin
he's
about
to
carve.
You
see
our
staff
in
front
of
the
bookmobile
ready
to
encourage
people
to
read
and
a
traditional
program
in
the
bottom
corner,
where
we
offer
during
the
Christmas
holidays.
S
So
what
can
you
do
with
the
library
card?
Well,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
free
Wi-Fi
and
computer
usage.
We
also
have
the
best
deal
in
town
in
that
we
provide
free
facts,
scan
or
email
service.
It's
a
self-service
machine,
absolutely
costs
the
person
using
it
nothing
to
send
a
fax.
We
have
meetings
available
for
non-profit
use.
We
offer
summer
reading
our
libraries
serve
as
a
summer
free
meal
location.
We
also
offer
free
tax
preparation.
We
serve
as
a
polling
location
where
people
can
cast
their
ballot
every
once
in
a
while.
S
When
an
election
comes
up,
we
often
we
offer
Public
Training
in
workshops
on
everything,
from
canning
of
vegetables
or
other
types
of
things,
to
couponing
to
crafts,
to
beekeeping,
which
will
be
at
the
Bluffton
Library
pretty
soon.
We
also
have
on
our
shelves,
movies,
TV
series,
magazines
and,
of
course,
books
in
addition
to
the
physical
five
locations
and
two
bookmobiles.
We
also
operate
a
digital
library
that
makes
available
resources.
S
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week
to
all
card
holders,
you
probably
have
heard
and
I
hope
you've
experienced
hoopla
that
has
ebooks
audiobooks
movies,
TV,
music
and
now
magazines
available
at
the
touch
of
your
app.
We
also
offer
a
second
app
called
flips
48,
electronic
or
digital
versions
of
magazines.
S
This
past
year,
we're
very
proud
to
have
added
to
our
collection
online
access
to
the
New
York
Times
And,
The,
Wall,
Street
Journal,
and
within
our
in
the
walls
of
our
libraries.
You
can
access
ancestry.com
to
do
genealogy
research,
and
if
that
wasn't
enough,
we
expand
Beyond
Beaufort
County
to
provide
access
to
resources
in
19
counties
across
the
state
of
South
Carolina,
including
the
State
Library
itself.
We
participate
in
a
Consortium
called
Southland
on
a
lens.
S
So
what
that
means
for
the
Beaufort
County
card
holder
is,
if
you
need
an
item
from
your
Beaufort
County
Libraries,
you
can
get
it,
but
if
you
need
an
item,
that's
in
Anderson
or
Florence
OR
Jasper.
We
can
get
that
from
YouTube.
So
I
want
you
to
hear
it
from
the
residents
who
use
the
library.
S
My
favorite
one
is
in
the
middle
one
of
the
best
services
from
the
county.
These
quotes
were
given
to
us
voluntarily
in
our
strategic
planning
process
this
year.
Before
making
a
decision
to
move
to
Beaufort,
we
check
out
the
library
system
very
impressed.
It
was
make
or
break
criteria
when
choosing
a
place
to
retire.
I
think
our
library
system
is
amazing,
always
seeks
to
add
programs
that
help
inform,
entertain
and
educate
everyone
in
the
community.
The
library
system
is
extremely
valuable
for
students,
children,
parents,
grandparents,
adults,
Etc.
S
The
programs
offered
here
are
an
invaluable
resource
for
all
Beaufort
County
residents
and
perhaps
the
one
that
pulls
up
my
heartstrings
the
most
my
library
card
is
one
of
my
most
treasured
possessions.
I
am
94
years
old
and
the
library
opens
up
the
world
for
me
this
past
year
we
had
some
accomplishments
as
if
that
wasn't
enough,
you
know
in
terms
of
our
facilities,
we
completed
phase
one
of
Bluffton
Branch
Library.
As
you
see
director
to
burnik
cutting
the
ribbon
on
that,
we
have
replaced
public
computers
at
all
of
our
libraries.
S
We've
upgraded
the
3D
printer
at
St,
Helena,
Branch
Library.
We've
added
two
vehicles
to
our
our
Fleet
so
that
all
branches
have
an
opportunity
to
use
it
to
Local,
Schools
or
other
organizations,
and
then
we
celebrated
anniversaries.
In
case
you
didn't
know,
the
Bluffton
library
is
20
years
old.
The
saint
Helena's
Library
just
turned
10..
Beaufort
branch
is
about
to
turn
30.
This
Saturday
at
a
special
birthday
party
in
which
you're
invited
lovico
turns
20.
S
Later
this
summer,
in
Hilton,
Head
recently
turned
24.,
and
then
we
also
made
some
progress
in
special
projects
and
we've
increased
our
Outreach
to
the
Hispanic
speaking
population
in
our
community.
We
know
that's
a
growing
population,
especially
Southern
Beaufort
County,
and
we
have
made
it
a
special
effort
to
try
to
provide
events
as
well
as
collections
in
Spanish
language
too,
so
as
to
meet
their
needs.
S
S
I
mentioned
earlier
that
this
past
year
we
added
access
to
New,
York,
Times
and
Wall
Street
Journal.
We
also
expanded
our
hoopla
offerings
and
then
we
added
also
about
36
000
physical
items
to
ourselves.
So
the
idea
that
your
library
is
growing
is
impact
through.
We
also
updated
our
strategic
plan.
That's
available
online
I
encourage
you
to
look
at
it.
We
want
to
be
user,
focused
Focus,
also
on
our
collections,
create
welcoming
and
accessible
Library
spaces
and
also
deliver
timely,
relevant
communication
and
then,
lastly,
how
do
we
do
even
better
in
fiscal
year
24?
S
S
S
E
L
E
On
average
pieces
of
equipment,
do
you
have
in
each
Library?
You
can
use
to
access
those
things
while
they're
there,
while.
S
We're
there
we,
depending
on
the
size
of
each
Library,
the
number
of
Digi,
the
number
of
computers
varies,
but
we
have
anywhere
from
seven
eight.
That's
downtown
Beaufort
to
10
12
at
Bluffton.
Do
you
find
that
50?
It
has.
C
Been
okay,
thank
you.
Mr
chairman
I
have
a
question.
Yes,
it's
a
loaded
question
because
I
know
this
very
exciting
that
Port
Royal
is
coming
on
and,
like
you
said,
that
was
kind
of
a
lucky
deal,
but
we're
very
happy
to
have
it.
C
My
second
thought
is
and
I'm
sure
you
have
info
why
we
need
a
branch
in
prichardville,
because
people
say
we
have
one
in
Bluffton.
Why
do
you
need
another
one
and
it
goes
in
line
with
all
the
things
we've
talked
about
today:
the
growth.
But
can
you
speak
to
that?
Because
that's
a
hot
item
on
the
table
for
Council.
S
Sure
now
we
could
talk
about
that
for
a
long
long
time,
but
the
cliff
notes
version
of
that
is
that
in
the
area
that
you're
aware
we've
been
searching
for
land
just
in
that
one
stretch
between
278
and
Highway
46.,
there
are
about
13,
there
are
over
13
000
residents
and
each
one
of
those
has
to
drive
10
miles
to
get
to
the
Bluffton
Library.
Well,
we
know
that
that's
10
miles
on
the
surface,
but
10
miles
in
actuality
can
be
30
to
45
minutes
depending
on
traffic.
S
We
already
know
that
there's
an
active
interest
in
that.
It's
also
supported
by
our
strategic
plan
comments
over
a
hundred
comments
were
related
to.
Why
was
the
new
Riverside
Library
or
the
pritchardville
library
we
moved?
The
public
perception
is
that
a
library
in
that
area
is
not
supported,
even
though
it
is
I'm
desired.
The
library
has.
S
Expensive
plan
2010
and
it's
on
the
2040
plan
now
and
population,
continues
to
explode
in
that
area.
We
know
that,
based
on
anecdotal
evidence
by
residents
in
the
area
that
they
wanted,
they'd
like
to
see
it
there,
and
we
know
from
the
usage
statistics
of
the
Bluffton
Branch
library
that
the
Bluffton
library
is
stretched
to
accommodate
the
population
in
Bluffton
proper,
as
well
as
the
population
that
has
expanded
towards
percherville
and
the
Riverside,
and
also
all
the
way
up
to
hardyville.
S
Historically,
it
has
it
neck
and
neck
this
past
year
with
Hilton
Head
in
that
for
partial
of
the
last
fiscal
year,
Bluffton
stats
were
a
little
downplayed,
given
the
fact
they
were
closed
for
renovation,
not
fully
close,
but
their
meeting
rooms
and
different
things
definitely
curtailed
usage
of
that
bridge.
During
that
time,
thanks
any
other
questions
enjoy
your
peppermint
and
the
rest
of
your
afternoon.
C
S
S
The
only
thing
that
their
car
doesn't
allow
that
Beaufort
County
card
holders
can
access
his
digital
resources,
and
that
has
to
do
with
how
those
vendors
will
us
for
that.
So
if
a
person
living
in
Jasper
County
wanted
to
utilize
physical
and
digital
things
that
Beaver
County
card
owners
can
access,
they
can
get
it
out
of
County
card,
which
is
still
cheaper
than
Amazon,
but
they
can
use
physical
items
from
our
branches
or
bookmobiles
using
their
Jasper
credit
card.
C
N
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Stephanie
najid
I'm,
passive
Parks
manager
and
I
was
actually
very
interested
to
hear
what
you
had
to
say
during
Jared's
lovely
speech,
Regarding,
why
you
came
here
and
why
you
like
Luther
County
and
the
things
that
I
picked
up
were
nature.
Wildlife
and
outdoor
activities
and
I
have
the
amazing
job
of
managing
and
maintaining
role
in
critical
lands
that
the
county
has
purchased
to
be
simple
for
exactly
those
things,
so
something
I
wanted
to
just
start
with.
N
A
brief
National
statistic
is
something
I,
don't
think
many
people
know
outdoor
recreation
contributed
two
percent
of
the
national
GDP
in
2021.,
that
is
above
vehicle
sales
and
oil
and
gas.
So
it
is
a
very
high
demand,
National
activity
and
definitely
is
a
spotlight
and
a
great
opportunity
for
Beaufort
County.
N
You
will
also
hear
coming
up
I'm
not
going
to
take
anybody's
under,
but
there
was
a
Parks
and
Recreation
survey
and
passive
Recreation
and
hiking
trails
were
in
top
of
the
respondents
for
things
that
they
wanted
to
see
in
Beaufort
County,
so
that
will
get
elaborated
on
later,
but
also
ties
into
the
passive
Community
program.
N
So,
five
years
ago,
March
exactly
five
years
ago,
I
was
hired
to
create
Public,
Access
opportunities
and
passive
Recreation
outdoor
opportunities
for
the
properties
that
were
acquired
through
the
rural
and
critical
program
and
was
created
by
County
council
at
that
time.
As
the
passive
Parks
program.
Currently
we
have
a
overall
they're
just
under
14
000
acres
of
land
in
that
program
in
the
program
that
I
manage
and
maintain
that
is
encompassed
in
50
individ
different,
individual
properties.
N
14
of
those
are
actually
open
to
the
public
public
right
now
we
have
four
upcoming
new
passive
parks
that
you'll
see
highlighted
here
shortly.
That
also
includes
14
different
interagency
agreements
that
I
have
to
manage
and
cooperate
with
other
outside
entities
like
the
towns,
the
cities,
Marine
Corps,
Air,
Station,
State
DNR.
N
We
have
11
lease
agreements
with
private
and
government
agencies,
17
use
agreements
with
different
private
entities,
you
typically
non-profit
individuals.
There
are
two
organized
French
groups
that
we
currently
have
that
did
come
up
in
the
last
five
years.
We
also
have
an
additional
Fringe
group
that
has
just
reached
out
today
for
free
property
and
all
of
this
done
up
until
July
1st
last
year
with
just
me
and
then
as
of
July
last
year,
I
was
able
to
hire
a
park
ranger.
So
now
we
have
two
staff
to
accomplish
all
of
these
things.
N
We
also
have,
in
the
upcoming
year,
slightly
less
than
three
million
dollars
enroll
in
critical
Bond
funding
when
I
first
was
brought
on
board.
There
is
no
line
item
for
me
in
the
General.
Revenue
you'll
see
it
as
of
up
until
this
budget
season.
N
There
is
nothing
for
Passive
Parks,
except
for
in
the
rural
and
critical
Bond,
so
that
was
a
challenge
to
try
and
accomplish
what
has
been
able
to
be
accomplished
with
the
font
with
just
having
that
Bond
funding,
but
we
do
have
just
slightly
under
3
million
that
is
going
to
and
be
spent,
probably
by
the
end
of
end
of
calendar
year.
Next.
N
So
some
of
the
successes
we've
had
to
date,
we
were
able
to
open
up
Widgeon
Point
Preserve.
We
did
spend
about
1.
almost
1.3
million
dollars
on
that
property
to
have
a
beautiful,
hiking
trail
lots
of
people
out
there,
bird
watching
it's
got
a
picnic
Pavilion,
a
bird
blind
and
some
portable
toilet
restroom
shelter.
We
also
were
able
to
finish
the
loop
trail
around
Crystal
Lake
Park.
So
there
is
a
trail
that
goes
completely
around
the
lake
out
there.
N
Prior
to
me,
coming
on
board,
there
was
some
Renovations
done
to
an
office
building
there,
so
my
office
and
one
of
our
tenants
is
in
that
office
space
and
we
spent
about
400
000.
On
that
trail,
the
Fort
Frederick
Heritage
preserve
is
in
the
town
of
Port
Royal.
We
spent
just
over
a
million
dollars
on
that
and
that
was
in
combination
with
South
Carolina
DNR.
They
put
out
some
interpretive
signs
for
the
Fort
there
for
ruins,
and
then
we
developed
access
in
the
parking
in
the
picnic
Pavilion.
N
Also
looking
to
the
Future
to
do
a
peer
and
dock
out.
There
too,
we
also
were
able
to
spend
almost
1.7
million
at
Fort
Fremont
preserve
for
the
History
Center.
So
we
do
have
a
large
History
Center
there
that
has
a
great
diorama.
It's
got
a
conference
room,
there's
restrooms,
there's
Ada
sidewalks
people
can
view
the
fort.
We
have
interpretive
signage
and
the
friends
of
Fremont
man,
the
History
Center
at
certain
hours
and
as
they
build
their
volunteer
capacity,
they're
opening
it
up
for
more
hours.
N
N
Some
things
we
have
coming
soon
as
in
in
the
next
year,
the
next
12
months,
Whitehall
Park,
is
just
about
to
be
open.
We
are
in
the
final
stretch.
N
It
is
close
to
1.8
million
dollars
for
the
completion
of
that
project
and
includes
a
parking
area
entrance
gate,
multi-use
pathway
that
connects
to
the
existing
Boardwalk
that
goes
on
to
Wiz
Memorial
Bridge,
so
people
can
go
from
downtown
to
Meridian
and
back
piggy
Pavilion
with
restrooms
and
drinking
fountains
as
well.
We
have
Ford
shell
ring
not
on
Hilton
Head.
Coming
up,
it's
going
to
be
a
little
over
200
000
to
do
a
very
simple
hiking
trail,
an
interpretive
sign
and
small
parking
area.
N
We
have
Bailey
Memorial
Park
in
Bluffton
that
is
going
to
have
roughly
750
000
of
improvements,
including
parking
and
parking
for
golf
carts,
as
well
as
trails
and
Wildlife
blinds
through
the
wetlands
in
the
area
that
is
in
the
All
Joy
community
and
then
an
okatee
River
Park.
Also
in
the
Bluffton
okatee
area,
almost
two
million
dollars
for
a
multi-use
trail
parking
and
a
picnic.
Pavilion
as
well
also
right
there
on
the
headwaters
of
the
okatee
river.
So
it's
a
beautiful
scenic
view.
N
So,
as
you
can
see,
all
of
these
properties
previous
successes
and
coming
soon,
even
for
Passive
Recreation
we're
looking
at
about
two
million
dollars,
a
million
and
a
half
to
two
million
dollars
for
full
planning
permitting
and
then
development
of
these
properties
with
just
the
simplest
improvements
to
be
able
to
open
access
and
get
people
out
into
nature.
N
N
N
When
you
buy
land
you
can't
just
let
it
sit,
it
does
become
a
hazard,
so
things
like
vegetation
management,
Timber
management,
wildlife
and
plant
and
animal
surveys.
So
we
know
what
to
tell
people
that,
what's
on
the
property,
how
to
engage
them
in
the
conservation
of
the
property,
how
to
encourage
young
minds
to
be
mindful
of
what
they
do
in
nature.
We
need
to
be
able
to
know.
What's
on
the
property
and-
and
you
know
bald
eagles
at
Widgeon.
Point
are
a
huge
draw,
so
we
didn't
do
surveys
on
the
land.
N
N
We
also
want
to
start
things
like
prescribed
burning,
have
a
prescribed
burn
program
through
the
South
Carolina
Forestry
Department,
and
also
interact
more
with
South
Carolina
DNR
and
see,
if
there's
any
other
hunting
opportunities
available
on
potential
large
purchases
of
land
that
is
not
going
to
occur
on
many
properties.
There
is
an
opportunity
for
that
in
this
area
and
a
definite
Desire
by
some
of
the
public
to
have
that
occur.
N
So
in
order
to
accomplish
all
that,
we
do
need
some
increase
in
Staffing
Vehicles,
the
fiscal
year
24
budget
I'm
going
to
ask
for
a
passive
Parks
naturalist
to
add
to
our
staff
of
two.
So
we
will
have
a
staff
of
three
that
naturalist
position
is
going
to
do
mainly
focus
on
Environmental
Education
I
want
to
create
an
accredited
Environmental,
Education
Program,
there's
a
National
Standard,
and
so
hopefully
that
person
will
be
able
to
create
a
program
and
work
us
through
that.
N
That
person
is
also
going
to
coordinate
more
with
volunteers
and
The
Fringe
groups
and
get
more
volunteers
and
more
more
engagement
in
the
community.
Instead
of
just
having
something
passively
opened,
we
want
to
engage
the
community
to
actively
engage
with
parks
and
then
maintenance
will
also
require
additional
Park
Rangers,
whether
that's
hired
through
my
department
or
practicing
Recreation
I,
do
rely
on
other
departments
at
this
time
to
assist
in
a
lot
of
the
maintenance
responsibilities
of
these
properties.
N
As
far
as
mowing
grass
picking
up
trash
blowing
off
boardwalks
and
sidewalks,
so
we
will
need
some
additional
maintenance
folks,
especially
as
more
properties
come
on
board
some
priority.
Passive
part
projects
coming
up
include
new
Riverside
Regional
preserve.
This
is
a
piece
of
property
that
has
a
significant
donation
of
funds,
so
when
I
was
first
hired,
it
was
one
of
the
very
first
conceptual
plans.
N
I
created
the
engineers
estimate
five
years
ago,
was
seven
million
dollars,
I'm,
assuming
that's
going
up
in
price,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
it
includes
the
addition
of
a
I
think
slightly
over
half
mile
long
road
to
get
from
New
Riverside
Drive
to
our
actual
property.
So
for
the
last
five
years
we've
been
in,
the
county
has
been
in
several
discussions
with
adjacent
landowners
to
try
and
get
that
road
built.
N
So
we're
still
continuing
those
discussions,
Whitehall
Park
does
need
appear
in
a
dock,
so
I'm
hoping
we'll
be
able
to
get
that
done
very
soon.
Pineview
preserve
has
a
conceptual
plan,
we're
in
phase
two
planning
right
now,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
some
funding
to
accomplish
that
and
that's
on.
Ladies
Island,
there
are
some
Safety
and
Security
things
happening
at
Fort
Fremont
regarding
stairs
and
railings,
and
fencing
to
make
the
fort
safer
for
visitors.
N
So
we'll
have
some
of
those
projects
with
police
starting
soon
too,
and
then
I
have
various
conceptual
plans
in
and
around
property
small
pieces
of
property
that
we
own
adjacent
to
boat
Landings.
So
in
conjunction
with
Jared's
boat
landing
study,
we
can
develop
a
nice
little
park
at
station
Creek,
which
is
next
to
Buddy
and
zoo,
and
at
Jenkins
Creek
property,
which
is
next
to
the
eddings
point
boat
landing.
So
hopefully
there
will
be
some
coordination
between
our
departments,
so
we
can
make
those
boat
Landings
more
of
a
park.
N
Experience
and
not
just
a
place
for
people
to
go
dumping
a
boat.
Hopefully
you
know
back
and
enjoy
the
scenery,
and
you
know
bird
watch
at
the
same
time,
Bermuda
Bluff,
also
on
St
Helena
Island
is
another
one
of
those
two,
so
those
are
just
the
tier
one
and
two
properties
I
also
still
have
14
other
tier
three
properties,
which
are
properties
that
currently
have
no
plan.
No
Community
survey,
they're
vacant
land.
That's
ready
to
be
open
to
the
public.
We
just
need
a
vision
and
money,
so
it
is
definitely
a
long-term
plan.
N
I
have
when
I
first
started
created
a
a
long-term
work
plan
and,
and
those
properties
are
included
in
that
plan,
they're
just
the
lower
priority
due
to
various
factors
such
as
interest,
funding
and
Partnerships.
G
Mr
chairman
I
have
a
couple
questions.
First,
of
course,
Pond
View.
You
sit
here
in
stage
two
I'm
planning
right
now.
Can
you
kind
of
tell
me
what
the
next
steps
would
have
looked
like?
Yes,.
N
G
Okay
and
the
next
question
I
have
I
said
you
had
50
approximately
50
properties,
yes,
the
14
open
to
the
public.
Why
aren't
the
other
ones
open
to
the
public?
Do
they
just
not
have
boardwalks
or
there's.
N
There's
no
way
to
there's
no
way
to
enforce
any
like
if
somebody
starts
a
fire
that
would
be
a
hazard
to
the
neighbors.
It
would
be
a
hazard
for
us.
You
know
as
far
as
liability
and
insurance
reasons,
and
so
those
properties
are
closed
to
the
public
until
such
time
as
we
have
a
safe
way
of
providing
access.
M
G
G
K
A
F
Other
questions
yeah
go
ahead
and
quickly.
The
okatee
park
preserve
is
that
the
one
that
has
the
would
be
connected
to
the
yes,
yes,.
N
Oh
there's
several
okatee
Parks
there's
the
okatee
River
Park
is
the
one
at
the
pepper,
Hall
development
and
then
there's
the
okatee
regional,
preserve
that
you
just
approve
for
the
old
growth
forest
Network,
and
that
is
one
of
the
14
that
is
not
yet
open
to
the
public
and
then
there's
also
okatee
Marsh,
which
is
the
one
behind
the
animal
shelter.
F
N
In
order
to
see,
if
there's
a
way
to
put
a
Boardwalk
or
path
under
the
bridge
there
at
the
river,
it's
something
that
I'm
planning
on
looking
into
but
I'm
just
not
sure
if
it
can,
if
it
can
happen,.
F
E
N
E
Q
Last
but
certainly
not
least,
I
would
like
to
invite
the
Shannon
lope
our
passive
excuse
me,
our
active
parks
and
direct
model,
Parks
she's,
going
to
share
some
context
for
our
active
Recreation
programs
and
where
we
are
with
that
and
then
introduce
our
master
plan
consultant.
P
Click
it
out
yes
over
here:
okay,
okay,
so
I'll
start
with
one
of
our
larger
growing
programs
that
we
started
this
past
fiscal
year
is
our
senior
program
and,
as
you
can
see,
when
we
took
it
over
from
counseling
on
Aging,
we
had
two
original
centers
which
were
Burton
Wells
and
St
Helena,
since
when
we
took
it
over,
we
opened
it
up,
County
Wide
and,
as
you
can
see,
these
are
our
current
numbers
of
our
seniors.
P
In
the
programs
on
Bluffton,
we
have
64
Booker
t48
Burton
laws,
57
Port,
Royal,
50,
Scott,
Center
22
in
Saint,
Helena,
Center
39.,
so
it's
growing
rather
quickly.
The
next
is
just
I
put
up
some
pictures
to
show
you
guys
what
you
know
some
of
the
activities
they
do,
the
seniors
meet
every
day
at
each
Center
Monday
through
Friday.
We
take
them
on
field
trips
to
the
fair.
We
do
cooking
activities
with
them:
the
pumpkin
patch,
the
farmers
markets.
P
We
have
one
of
our
oldest
seniors
in
Bluffton
that
Turned
104
this
year.
P
P
Currently
at
our
centers,
we
provide
food
that
we
partner
with
low
country,
Council
government,
slow
Cog,
and
we
have
a
half
a
million
dollar
Grant
through
them
that
we
provide
food
at
Bluffton,
Burton
wells
in
St
Helena
food
is
currently
not
provided
at
Booker,
T,
Port,
Royal
and
Scott
and
when
I
say
not,
provided
it's
not
provided
by
low
Cog.
We
actually
purchased
that
food
and
the
staff
there
has
to
prepare
it
and
fix
it.
P
For
the
seniors
we
reached
out
to
low
Cog,
who
was
a
little
surprised
that
we
grew
as
rapidly
as
we
did
and
we'll
be
out
of
funding
for
our
food
at
our
other
centers
by
the
end
of
this
month,
the
first
of
next
month,
and
so
then
we'll
start
providing
the
food
for
those
centers
as
well.
H
K
Don't
want
to
under
I.
Don't
want
you
all
to
underestimate
the
impact
that
what
Shannon
and
her
team
has
done
with
the
senior
programming
in
this
county
has
had
for
them.
The
growth
in
those
programs,
since
we've
taken
it
back
over,
has
been
phenomenal.
We're
getting
a
lot
we're
getting
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
about
that.
K
P
Thank
you
and
and
I'll
say
thanks
Eric's
been
great,
you
know,
I
went
to
him
a
few
times
and
said:
hey
we're
going
to
run
out
of
money.
Don't
worry
about
it,
we're
going
to
get
it
done,
so
it
has
been
a
great
program
summer
camps.
Last
year,
it's
at
Lynn,
Brown
and
Bluffton
Center.
This
year
we
have
a
mount
for
Booker,
T,
Broomfield,
Burton,
wallsdale,
Gloria,
Potts,
Port,
Royal
and
Scott
Center,
as
well
as
Bluffton
Center,
so
we
hope
to
have
summer
camp
at
each
of
the
centers
throughout
the
county.
P
This
year.
With
that
said,
we
will
be
putting
in
the
budget
to
request
another
position
to
assist
our
programs
manager
with
the
seniors
and
the
summer
camp
as
she
handles.
Both
of
those
programs
have
any
questions
with
those
programs.
P
So
we
did,
we
started
it
out
after
talking
with
Eric
about
it.
We
started
it
out
that
we
advertised
it
for
our
County
Employees,
then
we're
going
out
to
the
local
municipalities
and
then
we're
going
to
do
a
lottery
system
for
the
public.
That's
great
yeah.
F
F
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
because
if
they
were
not
okay
with
the
program
performance
so
well,.
I
If
I
might
add
to
that,
I
I
visited
the
Burton
well
Center
on
sublitation
I
think
about
three
times
and
to
see
the
excitement
and
the
jubilancy
of
the
seniors
as
they
interact
each
other
the
times
that
I've
been
there
to
show
that
the
program
has
been
revamped
and
you
guys
have
done
an
excellent
job
of
revitalizing.
I
That
program
to
the
point
where
the
seniors
are
looking
forward
to
coming
and
spending
a
day
there
at
breaking
Wheels
I
hadn't
been
out
to
the
Booker
T
Washington
Center,
yet
but
I'll,
hopefully
I'll
get
around
the,
if
not
before
the
week
or
not
maybe
next
week,
but
to
see
the
program
and
the
state
that
it
is
now
versus
before
the
partnered.
With
the
elk
hog
I
mean
we
were
struggling
and
the
morale
of
the
atmosphere
wasn't
wasn't
that
pleasant
as
it
is
now
so
I
commend
the
administration.
I
P
Going
to
put
in
you
know
we'll
put
in
a
lot
more
money
for
the
senior
program
and
the
budget
this
year,
mainly
because
we
you
know,
we
have
found
that
it
is
an
important
program,
it's
important
to
keep
them
exercising,
keep
their
minds
sharp
and
we
hope
to
grow
it
even
more.
So
you
know
it's
a
great
program.
It's
nice
to
be
able
to
now
serve
the
community
from
four-year-olds
all
the
way
up
to
104
year
olds.
So
it
is
great.
P
So
we
kind
of
did
a
survey
with
each
of
the
centers,
but
on
average
they
come
from
nine
to
ten
and
stay
from
two
to
three.
E
P
With
alcohol
they
have
a
partnership
with
the
food
program,
senior
catering
that
comes
out
of
Orangeburg.
That
brings
the
food,
so
they
get
served
different
meals,
whether
it's
you
know
it's
a
full,
Dairy
and
and
nutritional
meal
with
the
meat,
the
vegetables.
You
know
the
starches
and
all,
and
we
also
have
snacks
and
stuff.
We
provide
coffee,
lemonade
and
things
like
that
for
them,
but
they
do
we.
P
We
make
sure
that
calendars
come
to
me
each
month
and
I
make
sure
that
there's
a
couple
of
crafts
on
there
they
do
field
trips.
We
make
sure
that
they
have
different
games.
They
play
trivia
with
them.
You
know
they
do
it's
a
they
do
chair
exercise
with
them.
Each
of
the
centers
we've
purchased
a
treadmill
for
them
so
that
they
they're
the
senior
treadmills
that
they
can
hold
on
to
and
walk.
E
Okay,
that's
a
great
program.
Congratulations.
A
E
P
And
I'll
be
honest
with
you
I'll,
be
you
know,
100
honest
with
you.
Some
of
them
do
rely
on
that
meal.
They
they.
They
really
do.
You
know,
and
you
know,
I
did
a
survey
with
them
and
you
know
asked
what
can
we
do
to
help
you?
Because
you
know
I
wanted
each
of
them
to
know
if
there
was
one
of
them
that
needed
help
on
the
side.
You
know,
let
us
know,
because
we
will
step
up
and
help
you.
So
you
know
a
lot
of
them.
Do
they.
They
rely
on.
F
Okay,
thanks
I'm
just
curious.
You
said
you
took
a
field
trip
to
the
State
Fair
in
Columbia.
P
They've
gone
to
the
fair
they've
gone,
they
did
the
Festival
of
Lights
this
year,
they've
gone
to
museums
in
Savannah;
they
they
they
go.
We
make
sure
that
they
go
on
their
field
trips
and
we're
now
even
planning
to
try
to
give
them
options
of.
Hopefully,
some
you
know
more
long-distance
field
trips.
Now
that
we
have
a
couple
of
buses-
oh
yeah,
sorry
I
did
forget
that,
so
we
do
have
in
addition
to
our
meals
that
are
served
inside
of
our
centers.
P
We
also
on
Fridays
partnered
with
low
Cog,
and
we
service
the
community
with
frozen
meals,
so
those
that
are
Homebound
and
can't
get
out.
We
deliver
meals
for
the
week
for
them,
and
so
we
have
a
bunch
of
part-time
staff
that
goes
out
in
to
different
routes
throughout
the
county
when
well,
I
think
that
I
don't
remember
what
storm
it
was
this
year
that
we
were
told
you
know
we're
closed.
We
got
a
shelter
in
and
myself
and
my
staff
spent
the
day
out.
I
Shannon,
if
I
might
speaking
of
the
seniors-
and
we
know
their
agent-
you
got
104
year
old
in
the
group
for
some
of
them
getting
on
and
off
like
a
bus
having
to
step
up
those
steps
of
problematic.
Where
are
we
with
the
upgrade
of
a
vehicle
where
they
can
actually
just
go
through
the
side
door
without
having
to
walk
up
those
steps.
P
So
the
two
new
buses
that
we
purchased
have
the
ramps
that
come
down
the
issue
that
we're
running
into
right
now
is
CDL
Drivers
and
the
fact
that
I
was
hoping
that
someone
was
going
to
be
able
to
come
in
and
do
that.
But
in
order
to
get
enough
drivers,
the
last
one
I
checked
into
was
over
six
thousand
dollars
an
individual
to
get
a
CDL
training
and
I
mean
we
need.
You
know
actually
one
of
each
Center
plus
a
couple
of
backups.
P
You
know
when
they're
out,
so
that
would
be
close
to
sixty
thousand
dollars
that
we
would
need
to
put
in
the
budget
to
do
that.
I
was
hoping
for
that
amount
of
money
that
we
could
hire
somebody
privately
to
maybe
come
in,
but
we
haven't
been
successful
in
doing
that.
We
also
did
this
year
ask
for
three
new
Vans,
because
last
year
the
vans
that
Eric
gave
us
the
money
for
we
ended
up
using
for
the
buses,
because
we
were
in
more
of
a
desperate
need
for
that.
P
But
we
are
going
to
ask
for
three
this
year
and
then
three
more
again
next
year,
hopefully
with
the
for
them
to
go
down
and
pick
the
seniors
up
the
seniors.
Some
of
them
do
like
the
smaller
buses.
Some
of
them
do
like
the
Vans,
but
the
newer
vans
that
we
did
get.
They
were
used,
but
both
of
them
have
the
wheelchair
access
and
that
actually
know
that
the
wheelchairs
can
be
locked
in
the
Vans
for
transportation.
P
So
on
to
Aquatics
with
our
Aquatics,
we,
you
know
with
the
pools
being
redone
the
Bluffton
pool
with
the
roof
that
was
redone.
We
were
able
to
add.
Now
we
have
the
Inflatables,
so
we
have
a
set
of
Inflatables
north
of
the
broad
and
a
set
of
Inflatables
south
of
the
rod.
This
has
been
a
very
popular
thing
on
Saturdays
that
we
do
it's
five
dollars.
The
kids
can
come
in
bounce
on
the
inflatable
swim,
you
know.
Do
the
obstacle
course,
foreign.
P
This
you
know
I
just
kind
of
flew
up
there.
I've
got
our
Beaufort
numbers
as
well
as
our
Bluffton
numbers.
P
P
We
haven't
slowed
up
the
slowest
that
we
had
was
through
covid
but
other
than
that.
Each
year
we
have
added.
Not
only
have
we
added
sports,
but
we
have
added
people.
P
You
know
I,
think
that
was
the
last
council
meeting
that
I
had
and
I
mentioned,
that
we
grew
just
in
basketball
this
year
by
25
teams.
So
you'll
see
a
little
bit
of
increase
in
as
far
as
the
uniforms
and
official
money
because
of
the
officials
and
stuff,
but
we
are
steady,
growing
and
are
going
to
be
more
and
more
and
more
of
need
of
facilities.
C
Have
a
question
please:
this
just
includes
the
programs
you
offer
Fred
folks.
This
does
not
include
use
of
our
Fields
by
schools,
correct,
correct,
so
I'm.
Sorry
to
ask
this
question,
but
in
light
of
what
I
just
went
through
with
you
and
talking
about,
why
do
we
charge
our
schools
to
use
our
fields
and
I
realize
it's
a
budget
issue?
P
So
we
we
actually
don't
charge
for
the
use
of
the
fields.
The
only
thing
that
we,
when
Brittany
and
I,
sat
down
and
negotiated
with
the
school,
the
school
actually
charges
us
and
they
charge
us
regular
price,
because
we
were
told
that
it's
up
to
each
individual
principal
at
the
school.
So
the
one
year
that
we
asked
to
use
the
fields
are
our
championship.
Football
games.
P
We
were
going
to
have
to
pay
over
three
thousand
dollars
for
use
of
the
two
fields
we
sat
down.
The
contract
had
expired
and
went
back
to
the
school
district
and
said
you
know
we're
going
to
continue
to
not
charge
you.
What
we
want
to
charge
for
is
materials
so,
for
instance,
our
guys
line
the
fields
for
them.
We
don't
charge
for
lining
the
fields
when
we
charge
for
the
chalk
that
we
use
to
lie
in
the
fields
we
don't
charge
for
the
bathrooms,
but
we
put
in
money
for
toiletries.
P
You
know
etc
for
the
fields
and
then
it
was
coming
out
of
our
budget
for
someone
else
to
use
and
it
needed
to
be
replaced
by
the
end
of
their
seasons.
So
that's
the
only
thing
we
actually
charge
for
we
don't
charge
for
any
use
of
the
fields
we
only
charge
for
the
cost
that
we
take
in
from
the
schools.
Q
So
that's!
This
is
one
small
piece
of
a
very
large
conversation
and
we
had
a
call
with
our
master
plan
consultant
last
week,
the
preparation
for
this
meeting
and
we
spent
a
large
portion
of
that
time
talking
about
field
usage
and
geographical
location
throughout
the
county.
And
if
you
look
at
the
total
number
of
fields,
you're
going
to
see
one
answer
that
meets
capacity.
However,
we
have
a
number
of
charter
schools
and
we
have
a
number
of
private
schools
who
use
our
Fields.
Q
Q
We
have
to
recoup
that
somehow
otherwise,
the
Parks
and
Rec
Department
winds
up
funding
their
Athletics
programs
in
part,
at
least
so.
If
they
are
playing
a
game
they
have
to
into
the
field,
because
we
have
to
prep
it
there's
a
maintenance
that
goes
into
that.
What
we're
charging
them
for
is
just
to
offset
what
we
cost
us
to
line
the
fields
for
practices.
Q
So
again,
it's
very
involved.
It
has
to
do
with.
You
know
how
many
fields,
where
they're,
located
how
far
they're
willing
to
travel
I
will
say
this
we're
doing
everything
that
we
can
do
to
help
accommodate
all
of
those
requests
and
the
amount
of
money
that
they're
paying
is
is
minimal.
It's
a
few
hundred
dollars.
C
Q
Q
H
C
F
Talking
about
useful
facilities
when,
when
they
were
raising
home,
accomplish
the
school
for
the
new
facility.
That's
there
now
the
community
actually
went
to
the
school
board
and
asked
them
to
save
him
for
community
activities.
Etc.
F
That
gym
is
old.
It's
probably
a
lot
of
renovation,
etc,
etc.
But
is
there
any
way
that
the
community
can
get
access
to
their
gym
through
some
type
of
memorandum,
understanding
with
the
school
district?
It's
not
being
used,
I,
don't
think
the
school
district
is
actually
using
it,
but
I
think
the
community
can
really
benefit
from
that
use
of
that
gym.
F
Q
That's
that's
a
great
point
and
oh
well,
the
at
the
last
Parks
and
Rec
board
meeting
that
specific
topic
came
up
and
what
we
told
the
board
is
that
we're
going
to
have
that
discussion,
unfortunately,
with
the
Divide
between
the
school
district
properties
and
what
their
rules
are
about,
the
use
of
their
facilities
and
public
use
of
those
facilities
and
mixing
children
in
public
and
times
and
all
that
stuff.
I
can't
answer
how
they're
going
to
respond,
but
we
are
going
to
have
that
discussion
with
them.
Yes
appreciate
that.
P
Yeah
Kenny
Mack
he
was
gonna,
he's
got
someone
that
he's
going
to
talk
to,
because
I
told
him
that
if
he
could
work
something
out
with
it,
he
had
talked
to
someone
about
it.
That
I
would
put
a
part-time
staff
out
there
to
open
up
a
few
evenings
a
week.
Oh
good.
K
We
we
will
have
that
discussion.
I'll,
have
that
discussion
with
Dr
Rodriguez
now
that
I
know
about
it
and
see
what
we
can
do
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
them
sounds
like
some
money
is
going
to
have
to
be
invested
in
the
facility.
So
we'll
we'll
investigate
that.
In
going
back
to
your
question
about
the
cost
of
the
fields.
D
K
K
This
and
their
staff
is
not
aware
of
what
I'm
getting
ready
to
say
when
it
comes
to
charging
other
public
entities
that
collect
tax
money.
To
do
things,
your
my
mind,
you're,
just
transferring
the
tax
money
from
one
tax
money
to
another
tax
money.
K
C
Coming
year,
that's
pretty
much
why
I
brought
it
up
if
Council
agrees,
I
think
we
should
look
into
it
because
you're
right
they're
already
paying
taxes,
they
are
part
of
our
school
district.
We
should
be
collaborating
and
supporting
them
and
I
get
it.
We
support
them,
but
I'm
not
sure
why,
if
they're
minimal
fees,
why
we
even
do
that
in
a
Jester
of
Goodwill?
We
could
eliminate
those
fees,
I,
don't
know
how
much
of
the
budget
it
is,
though,.
P
There
used
to
not
be
any
fees
for
that.
A
lot
of
that
came
from
them
asking
us.
Would
we
do
that
because
they
that
that
prevented
them
from
having
to
buy
equipment
by
the
truck
and
all
that,
so
they
ask
us,
would
we
do
it
and
we
just
said
25
bucks,
minimum
and
that's
two
guys
job
I.
K
Will
I
would
point
out
that
you
know
again
it'll
be
something
that
we're
doing
that
may
not
get
reciprocated
by
the
school
district
for
what
they
charge
us
to
use
their
their
facilities?
You
know
we
need
their
fields
and
things
like
that.
So
as
long
as
council
is
aware
of
that
and
is
okay
with
that,
then
we
as
County
Administration
will
go
investigate
the
possibility
of
what
we
can
do
through
our
Parks
and
Rec
program.
C
H
F
You
know
the
community
doesn't
really
understand
why,
because
they're
paying
taxes
on
both,
they
can't
have
the
use
of
that
facility
for
the
convenience
of
public
meeting
system,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
yeah
that
conversation
can
happen
and
we
can
further
a
good
relationship
with
the
school
district
yeah.
Thank
you.
F
And
while
we're
doing
this,
Looper
I
just
want
to
say
I
commend
you
for
opening
up
those
centers
and
I'm,
hoping
that
we
can
improve
those
sites.
As
we
move
programming
in
various
communities
and
stuff
yeah.
P
I
think
Eric
and
Eric
are
working
with
getting
that
doing
so.
Yeah
last
thing,
I
was
just
gonna.
Let
one
of
the
things
that
we
invested
in
this
year
and
we're
looking
at
investing
in
for
the
future
is
with
our
maintenance.
Is
our
robots
to
cut
each
facility.
P
These
have
the
ability
to
cut
to
an
acre
we've
started
out
with
six
sites.
We're
hoping
that
one
of
the
things
that
it's
going
to
do
is
eliminate
the
weeds
with
the
cross-contamination,
because
that
mower
will
be
specific
to
that
site.
P
So
it
won't
go
out,
bring
in
the
weed
to
come
back
so
in
the
long
run,
we're
hoping
that
not
only
will
it
save
so
that
the
guys
can
go
out
and
do
other
things,
but
it'll
save
as
far
as
the
chemicals
and
stuff
that
we
have
to
spray
out
and
control
the
leaves.
C
Another
thing
that'll
do
is
provide
Amusement
to
children
who
see
it
because
we
use
them
with
Sun.
City
and
I
was
sitting
at
the
ball
field
one
day
and
it
does
the
little
recruiter
comes
out
and
it's
got
eyeballs
and
it
looks
like
a
little
UFO
eating.
The
grass
it'll
provide
entertainment.
P
We
have
is
on
Zoom
or
you
want
to
introduce
I'm,
let
how
Mark
came
up
with
wooden
Partners
they've
got
the
master
plan,
not
complete,
but
it's
hidden
there.
Thank
you.
R
So
much
Mr
chairman
members
of
council
staff,
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
so
excited
to
be
working
on
this
project
and
share
with
you
guys.
The
update.
My
name
is
Mark
Baker
I'm
with
wooden
Partners
also
with
this
is
called
Theodore
with
wooden
partners,
and
we
have
online
nilebot
with
next
practice.
Thank
you,
giley
for
joining
us.
What
we're
going
to
do
today
is
walk
you
through
where
we
are
today,
give
you
an
update
on
the
parks
and
your
master
plan
and
then
answer
questions
you
may
have
we're
about.
R
Let's
say:
two-thirds
three
quarters
of
the
way
through
the
master
planning
process,
but
we
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
today
so
that
you
can
take
these
recommendations
into
consideration
forward.
So,
basically,
what
we're
going
to
do
today
is
talk
about.
First,
give
you
a
little
background
about
the
consultant
team
talk
about
the
planning
process.
We've
done
a
lot
of
work.
Looking
at
the
demographics
in
the
county,
we'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
that.
Community
engagement,
which
included
a
number
of
public
meetings,
as
well
as
a
public
opinion
survey.
R
We'll
share
the
results
of
that
with
you
and
then
talk
about
the
park
inventory
facility
assessment.
Your
staff
has
done
a
great
job,
helping
us
with
that.
So
thank
you
to
Shannon
and
Chuck
and
others,
and
then
later
we're
going
to
develop
a
level
of
service.
An
equity
mapping
we'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
that
process
and
then
wrap
up
with
sports
tourism
and
economic
assessment
and
ultimately
looking
at
Recreation
programs
and
then
we'll
close
the
presentation
with
Next
Step.
R
So
first
wooden
Partners
we're
a
Southeast
Regional
land
planning
and
Landscape
Architecture
Firm.
We
specialize
in
Park
and
Recreation
planning
design,
not
only
physical
Parks,
but
County
and
Citywide
needs
assessments,
we're
fortunate
to
be
working.
Several
parks
in
Beaufort,
County,
Buckwalter,
Oscar,
Frazier,
Burton,
Hills,
Whitehall,
Park,
new
Riverside.
R
You've
got
a
lot
of
exciting
weeks
happening
in
Beaufort
County
and
we're
very
pleased
to
be
a
partner
with
you
on
many
of
those,
as
well
as
Park
and
Recreation
Eastman's
Nate
Smith
throughout
the
southeast,
Charleston
County
Columbia
Richland,
County,
Augusta,
Georgia,
Richmond,
County,
we're
currently
just
wrapped
up
one
in
Columbia,
County
Georgia
for
the
entire
County
and
then
passive
and
active
youth
use
Recreation,
which
gives
us
our
Park
design.
So
it
gives
us
the
foundation
for
understanding
the
master
plan
and
the
needs
assessment
of
work.
T
Sure,
thank
you
Mark
good
afternoon,
everybody,
as
I
said,
my
name
is
nilay
putt
I
am
the
founder
and
CEO
with
next
practice.
Partners
also
have
the
pros
Consulting
team,
as
a
part
of
this,
in
my
previous
role
over
the
last
16
years,
I've
done
a
couple
hundred
of
these
plans
all
over
the
country
and
have
worked
a
lot
with
the
wooden
partners
team
as
well,
and
so
you
know
happy
to
share
our
sort
of
national
expertise
to
complement
the
regional
expertise
of
wooden
Partners
have
as
well.
T
The
next
theme
on
this
as
well
is
ETC
Institute
and
they
are
a
statistically
reliable
survey
firm.
So
the
the
survey
results
were
about
to
show
you
pay
independently,
administer
that
gather
the
data
and
they've
done
over
a
thousand
of
these
all
over
the
country.
So
they
are
the
leading
expert
when
it
comes
to
statistically
valid
surveys
that
truly
represent
the
overall
community
yeah.
Thank
you.
This
is
a
quick
snapshot.
T
Logo
wise
these
are
just
some
of
the
places
from
Anchorage
Alaska
to
Allentown,
Pennsylvania
and
everything
in
between
with
nationally
accredited
and
gold
medal
agencies.
Our
team
has
had
a
role
in
every
one
of
these
places
that
you
see.
R
Are
doing
across
the
country
to
Beaufort
County
so
we're
pleased
to
have
that
disappointing
process.
We
start
by
looking
at
where
you
are
today
today
Kyle's
going
to
talk
a
lot
about
today,
the
inventory
of
activity
facilities,
we
really
analyze
what
you
are
and
what
you
need
about:
Beaufort,
County
and
we'll
start
talking
about
where
and
thinking
about
where
you're
going
and
where
and
what
the
outcome
will
they
determine?
How
do
we
get
there,
and
so
that's
sort
of
in
a
nutshell,
the
many
stages
of
community
engagement.
T
If
I
had
a
penny
for
how
many
times
I've
spoken
on
mute,
I
could
retire
now.
Yes,
this
is
an
ADA,
accessible
and
multilingual
website.
The
the
community
input
information
that
we
have
as
well
and
just
progress
on
the
plan.
We
want
to
be
as
transparent
as
possible.
So
when
all
these
reports
are
done,
we
will
also
be
uploading
them
on
the
website.
So
the
community
can
see
them
at
any
time
and
see
the
progress
of
the
plan
as
well.
R
You
to
do
that,
take
a
look
at
the
data,
that's
being
gathered
there
and
also
add
your
comments
as
you
go
forward.
H
T
Sure,
looking
at
Census
Data,
you
are
one
of
the
fastest
growing
counties
and
systems
in
the
country
just
for
context
nationally.
The
growth
rate
is
about
0.7
to
0.8
percent.
In
general.
You
know,
barring
this
blip
and
again
it
seems
more
like
an
estimation
than
the
reality
that
you
see
from
2022
to
2027,
but
the
overall
trajectory.
T
If
you
see
from
2010
to
the
2020
census
and
the
next
15
years,
you
are
growing
anywhere
from
50
to
100,
faster
than
National
averages,
so
everything
that
I
heard
Shannon
talk
about
earlier
everything
I
heard
about
you
and
the
open
space
side
as
well
kudos
for
you
all
starting
to
think
and
plan
ahead,
because
the
people
are
coming
and
they
love
what
they
see
in
Beaufort
County.
That's
why
more
of
them
want
to
be
there.
T
The
other
piece
that
I'm
really
encouraged
to
see
you
do
is
the
senior
programs
that
you
just
discussed
as
well,
because,
as
you
see
from
the
eight
segment
standpoint,
the
yellow
and
the
light
blue
on
the
extreme
right
and
I
refuse
to
call
them
seniors.
They
don't
behave
like
it.
It's
really
an
active
adult
population.
That's
going
to
be
the
single
largest
group
in
Beaufort
County,
and
it's
projected
to
be
over
40
percent
of
the
entire
population.
More
than
two
out
of
five
people
in
the
county,
race
and
ethnically.
T
You
know
it
there's
a
consistent
sense
of
diversity.
If
you
would
over
time,
the
African-American
population
is
reducing
and
those
that
identify
as
two
or
more
races
continue
to
grow
and
the
Hispanic
Latino
population
is
about
13,
roughly
one
in
seven
in
the
county
as
well.
T
We
also
look
at
income
characteristics,
and
you
know
this
on
a
per
capita
individual
basis.
That's
the
blue
bar
the
Orange
is
the
household
income
everybody
living
under
the
same
roof
and
both
of
those
are
higher
than
State
and
National
averages,
which
is
a
good
sign
in
terms
of
disposable
income,
but
it
also
means
what's
good
enough
in
most
places
is
not
good
enough
for
Beaufort
County,
and
there
is
certainly
a
higher
expectation
of
quality.
T
The
next
three
slides
are
really
about
Recreation
participation.
Trends,
the
red
line
is
a
national
average
of
100.
Anything
above
that
means
it's
higher
than
national
average
does
mean.
That's
all
people
like
to
do
in
the
county.
It
just
means
that's
what
people
from
the
county
like
to
do
so.
Golf
and
Tennis
are
both
higher
than
National
averages
when
it
comes
to
General
Sports.
T
The
next
one
with
Fitness
is
much
more
prevalent
as
well.
Anything
from
walking
swimming
Pilates
and
weight
lifting
are
all
at
or
higher
than
National
averages,
and
the
next
one
is
activity
with
again
a
wide
variety
of
different
activities
that
are
again
higher
than
National
averages.
So
in
a
nutshell,
a
growing
Community,
aging,
diverse
and
sort
of
saying,
steady
in
the
diversification
higher
than
average
income
levels
and
certain
areas
marginal
growth
in
break
participation.
R
T
R
Recreation
Master
planning
needs
assessments.
It
certainly
has
been
integral
in
this
study.
We've
conducted
and
hosted
a
number
of
public
meetings
at
buckwalterberg,
Wells
Dale,
Scott,
Lynn
Brown,
a
great
attendant
at
those
centers
people
didn't
hold
back,
there's
a
lot
of
opinions
in
the
community
and
we
heard
and
listened
to
that,
for
example,
one
of
the
things
we
heard
was
that
you
needed
more
seniors.
Programming.
Shannon's
already
heard
that
and
taken
action
on
that,
so
we'll
say
continue
to
see.
R
Action
items
come
out
of
the
input
that
we
received
and
that's
in
addition
to
the
public
opinion
survey,
so
Community
engagement
is
both
both
in
person
as
well
as
digitally
on
the
web
page
and
in
person.
In
addition
to
that,
we
had
a
number
of
meetings
with
staff.
We
met
with
the
debusky
Allen
Council
via
Zoom
Beaufort
County
Sports
Council
gave
us
a
lot
of
good
information
and
then
the
part
we
asked
the
participants
three
questions.
R
First,
what
are
the
strengths
of
the
current
offerings
in
Beaufort,
County,
Parks
and
Recreation
system,
and
we
probably
have
20
different
30,
maybe
different
input
level
bullets
from
that
from
those
responses,
diversity
and
offerings.
The
county
does
a
great
job
in
offering
a
broadly
diverse
range
of
programs
and
activities
and
Facilities
a
lot
of
compliments
on
your
staff,
but
the
work
that's
being
done.
Hard-Working
people
really
do
everything
they
can
to
deliver
high
quality
services
fields
are
in
good
condition
or
those
two
Parks
Board
very
well.
R
Youth,
Athletics
and
Active
Sports
got
high
marks
and
participants
and
the
scholarship
the
recognition
of
their
scholarship
availability
for
people
to
participate
in
those
activities
and
then
partner
students
with
other
groups.
The
second
question
we
ask
is:
where
are
the
opportunities
for
improvement?
What
can
be
done
better
honestly?
Some
of
the
facilities
are
outdated
and
need
to
be
updated.
We
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
deferred
maintenance
over
the
years,
and
people
recognize
that
consider.
Excuse
me
consolidating
some
of
the
wildly
disappeared.
R
Playing
Fields
you've
got
planning
fields
that
are
really
in
a
very
wide
sort
of
geographic
area
and
hard
to
program
and
off
offer
services
through
we'll
come
back
to
that.
When
we
get
into
recommendation
facilities,
I
consider
developing
facilities
that
serve
local
residents
that
also
serve
as
tournament
facilities.
You've
got
a
great
opportunity
here
to
begin
to
think
about
offerings
of
tournament
Sports.
What
are
those
and
how
do
you
not
compete
with
other
tournament
sites
that
exist?
R
Honestly,
there
are
a
lot
of
tournament
facilities
already
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina
Georgia
that
offer
a
lot
of
those
Services
more
youth
after
school
activities,
artificial
turf,
the
County's
already
moving
forward
with
that
we're
currently
planning
adding
artificial
turf
to
a
realtor
Park
increase
offerings
for
seniors
and
again
some
of
those
actions
are
taking
place.
Now
rural
areas
are
underserved.
A
lot
of
the
rural
areas
in
Beaufort,
County
are
pretty
far
away
right
and
the
population
is
has
a
lower
level
of
density.
R
So
how
do
we
start
those
and
then
at
a
northern
Buck
culture
type
facility
somewhere
part
of
the
account,
and
then
we
ask
people
you
could
just
do
one
thing.
What
is
the
one
thing
you
would
do
to
improve
Park
and
Recreation
services
and
facilities
in
the
county,
and
we
got
a
wide
range
of
answers.
There,
affordable
programs
for
all
convenient,
Parks,
less
travel
time
less
difficult
to
do
right
in
this
County
because
of
the
geography
in
the
creeks
and
streams
and
rivers
that
exist.
R
The
marshes
develop
Fields
with
artificial
turf,
develop
the
central
Aquatics
facility,
I
thought
that
was
hurt
that,
in
a
number
of
occasions,
ad
programs
for
seniors
again
repeating
that
and
provide
more
programs
for
children
open
the
centers
up
that
are
close
and
we're
beginning
to
see
some
of
that
take
place
in
the
county.
Then.
R
Services
and
Facilities
to
reflect
different
needs
for
north
of
the
broad
and
south
of
the
broad
Recreation
user.
Pat
recognized,
Recreation
user
patterns
are
different
and
then
establish
dedicated
funding
for
those
outlying
areas.
Saint
husky,
Etc
next
is
Sparks
and
facility
assessment
I
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
sure.
O
And
in
addition
to
the
data
we
gathered,
gathered
public
and
Community
input,
we
also
did
started
us
visiting
all
of
the
active
arts
and
Facilities
that
Shannon
is
responsible
for
I'll
reiterate
what
Mark
said
that
was
very
obvious
to
us
is
the
impact
that
geography
has
on
how
Recreation
services
will
be
provided
to
these
communities,
because,
while
you
may
be
able
to
see
something-
or
it
seems
on
a
map
like
it's
very
nearby,
you
may
have
to
you
know
conserve
yourself
with
rivers,
streams,
marshes
to
be
able
to
get
from
the
negative
point
B,
and
that
has
a
big
effect
on
it:
the
ability
to
deliver
Recreation
services.
H
O
O
So
we've
collected
all
that
information
and
as
an
overview,
what
we
observe
as
we
as
I
mentioned,
the
geography
it
plays.
A
big
role
in
houses
and
services
are
pages
to
be
provided
at
many
facilities
are
old
or
damaged
and
disrepair
and
they
renovated
or
placed,
and
some
facilities
are
overused
everyday
use.
As
I
mentioned,
the
rural
areas
are
underserved
due
to
the
geographic
constraints
and
in
total
we
looked
at
40
properties
and
those
are
their
amount
of
use,
light,
medium
or
heavy
and
whatever
they
were
included.
O
Services-
and
it
consists
of
five
Park
models
and
Leona
is
going
to
talk
more
about
these
in
a
minute.
The
neighborhood
park
is
the
first
and
the
smallest
archetype,
it's
used
by
the
county.
O
It
serves
the
surrounding
neighborhood
and
in
many
instances
it
hasn't
worked
out
in
community
centers,
some
examples
of
neighborhood
parks
or
shell
Parks
Scott
communities
that
are
a
lot
of
people
use
the
other
parts
Etc.
The
next
largest
Arc
is
the
community
park
and
it
introduces.
K
O
And
some
examples
of
painting
parts
are,
there's
an
arc
enforce
and
take
part
Bluffton,
Center
or
Wesley
Felix,
and
then
the
largest
Regional
part,
and
those
are
the
type
of
parks
that,
as
Mark
mentioned
earlier
folks
may
come
into
our
area
to
partake
in
so
they
serve
the
local
constituents
that
they
also
need
raw
foods.
H
O
O
R
Before
so,
one
of
the
next
steps
is
to
develop
Equity
mapping.
This
is
where
we
take
all
the
inventory
and
assessment
work
that
colleges
reviewed
with
you
and
locate
them
on
a
map
and
then
begin
to
apply
the
level
of
service
in
the
park.
The
priority
system
again
begin
to
see
where
those
gaps
are
and
the
equity
mapping
will
help
us
match.
Parks
and
population
make
any
additional
comments
regarding
the
equity,
no.
T
So,
just
a
quick,
you
know,
building
on
the
the
park
and
facility
inventory
assessment,
we
also
looked
at
the
core
program
areas
that
Shannon
and
her
team
provide
as
well,
and
so
these
are
some
that
will
be
providing
recommendations
for
and
the
idea
really
being
that
for
future
recommendations.
The
program
needs
from
the
community
as
well
as
these
Trends
can
help
Drive
Park
and
facility
designs
and
recommendations,
the
critical
element
here,
the
public
opinion
survey.
Our
goal
was
300,
the
Beaufort
Community
showed
up
the
county-wide
community
showed
up
in
great
numbers.
T
We
had
over
350,
which
is
wonderful,
and
all
the
stuff
at
the
bottom
really
means
that,
for
anything
to
be
statistically
reliable,
I
can
repeat
the
process
and
95
out
of
100
times.
The
results
you
see
are
in
a
margin
of
error
of
plus
or
minus
5.2
percent.
That's
what
makes
this
truly
representative
of
your
entire
constituents
and
not
just
a
vocal
User
Group,
so
we
asked
them
for
usage
nationally.
This
is
82.
Beaufort
County
is
much
higher
for
visitation
in
to
any
parks
or
Rec
facilities
over
the
last
two
years,
which
is
great.
T
We
also
asked
them
on
the
next
slide
about
physical
condition,
and
this
is
where
only
about
seven
percent
rated,
that
as
poor,
if
I'm
being
nitpicky.
What
I
will
say,
though,
is
the
opportunity
for
the
future
is
how
do
we
reduce
the
number
of
people
that
say,
fair
and
good
and
grow
the
number
of
people
that
say
excellent?
Some
of
the
work
that
Mark
and
kylan
they're
doing
will
obviously
contribute
to
that,
and
there
is
more
to
come
in
terms
of
Iraq
programs
and
activities.
T
How
they
want
to
hear
the
number
one
way
they
prefer
to
find
out
about
programs
and
activities,
is
social
by
the
County
website
and
then
emails
we're
seeing
more
and
more.
You
know
at
all
ages.
Access
to
something
that's
online
is
definitely
a
preferred
mechanism
and
it's
more
cost
effective,
back
creation
program
participation.
This
is
right
at
national
average.
30.
T
I
think
part
of
the
hindrance
is
in
the
limited
number
of
Rec
facilities
that
you
have,
or
the
spaces
of
some
of
them
that
really
don't
accommodate
a
much
larger
audience
or
a
multi-generational
audience
that
you
would
need,
and
so
that's
where
we
have
the
current
participation
numbers
in
terms
of
quality.
Same
thing,
the
really
encouraging
sign
is
only
four
percent
up
rate
of
the
quality
is
poor.
T
The
ones
that
come
over
almost
80
percent
have
said
it's
good
or
excellent,
which
is
wonderful
again,
let's
grow
the
ones
that
say
we're
excellent
and
shrink
the
ones
that
say
were
Fair.
T
This
is
a
big
piece
right,
54
nationally.
This
is
one
of
the
top
three
reasons
the
largest
is
about.
You
know
on
average
is
30
percent
54
don't
participate
because
they
don't
know
what
is
being
offered.
The
fact
that
you
have
so
many
new
people
coming
in
also
contributes
to
that,
and
there
needs
to
be
an
additional
continued
investment
in
marketing
storytelling
at
a
marketing
branding
plan
as
well.
T
This
is
these
are
some
of
the
next
other
critical
questions
right.
What
are
people
most
willing
to
fund
connectivity
and
indoor
Aquatics
make
indoor
Recreation
and
Aquatics
make
up
the
top
four
highest
ones?
The
pool,
of
course,
needs
to
be
upgraded
as
well.
We've
talked
about
that
and
then
you
can
see
new
trails,
walking,
biking
trails,
indoor,
rec,
centers
and
replacing
the
smaller
outdated
ones
are
the
top
four
priorities.
T
Number
one
here,
29
almost
30
out
of
a
hundred
dollars.
They
would
want
to
focus
on
improve
and
maintain
what
exists
followed
by
acquiring
new
park,
land
and
Open
Spaces.
All
the
rest
followed
with
indoor
Rec
facility
renovating
existing
centers
and
then
new
pool
or
Aquatic
Facility
as
the
next
in
terms
of
value
about
17,
are
dissatisfied.
44
are
very,
are
satisfied
or
very
satisfied,
and
a
number
are
just
neutral.
T
This
is
nationally
a
really
encouraging
Trend
it's
same
as
year
as
well.
50
of
your
respondents
have
said
that
in
their
minds
they
value
Parks
trails,
open
spaces,
Recreation
somewhat
are
significantly
higher
than
they
did
before
the
pandemic.
Only
seven
percent
feel
the
perception
of
value
has
reduced
So.
Based
on
that,
we
asked
them
about
funding
and
a
majority
52
percent
would
want
to
increase
the
funding
for
parks,
recreation
trails
and
open
spaces
and
I
promise.
T
You
Shannon
has
not
given
me
anything
to
say
that,
but
this
is
really
a
huge
huge
boost
for
the
community
for
people
to
not
just
say,
I
need
something
but
to
say:
I
want
to
fund
this
as
well,
because
they
see
this
now
as
essential
to
quality
of
life
and
not
just
a
nice
to
have
amenity.
So
these
are
really
encouraging
signs
and
the
priorities
they
have
on
a
number
of
them
from
natural
areas.
T
I
know
you're
investing
in
both
ramps,
canoe
kayak
launches
as
well,
which
is
wonderful,
Trails
paved
hiking,
biking,
walking,
Nature
Center.
All
of
those
are
very,
very
high
priorities
across
the
county,
as
well
as
indoor
Aquatics
fishing
areas.
Shooting
ranges:
off-leash
dog
parks,
unpaved
hiking,
walking,
jogging
tracks,
Community
Gardens,
Amphitheater
senior,
centers,
outdoor
Aquatic,
Facility,
gym
and
indoor
Rec,
community,
centers
and
splash
pads.
T
T
R
Two
charts
are
what
we
call
the
PIR
charge:
priority
investment
ranking.
These
two
charts
are
going
to
form
the
foundation
for
going
forward
and
it's
a
it's
a
sort
of
outcome.
In
the
a
the
compression
all
of
the
survey
data
begin
to
indicate
where
those
priorities
are
highest
and
that'll
help
inform
our
work
as
we
begin
to
combine
the
input
from
the
a
public
opinion
survey
together
with
the
the
maps
and
look
at
priority
gaps,
the
gaps
in
Recreation
services
and
the
assessment
facilities.
R
You
will
take
that
and
move
forward
with
the
next
steps.
So
next
steps
is
that
we're
going
to
finalize
the
sports
tourism
strategy
assessment,
we're
going
to
look
at
the
short
and
long-term
recommendations
using
all
of
the
information
that
we've
just
reviewed
and
then
the
the
end
result
of
that
will
be
to
assign
Capital
Improvement
cost
to
each
of
those
items
so
that
when
we
bring
back
to
you,
you'll
not
only
have
the
recommendations
in
the
backing
of
the
public
opinion.
Q
Q
This
would
be
more
of
a
long
range
under
alternate
funding,
which
is
what
Jared
was
talking
about,
because
these
needs
get
into
many
many
millions
of
dollars
over
years.
So
this
is
going
to
be
sort
of
the
GPS
guiding
system
for
us
moving
forward.
Will
it
be
ready
before
we
get
into
first?
Second
third
reading?
Probably
yes,
but
whether
it
will
really
affect
what
we're
going
to
ask
for
for
the
next
fiscal
year,
probably
not
as
as
much
as
what's
already
been
described.
F
I've
been
waiting
for
this
study
for
some
time
to
further
improve
in
the
rural
community
recreational
program
and
now
I'm
hearing
that
is
not
going
to
be
ready.
Recommendations
about
the
rural
community
may
take
another
year
or
so
hit
the
budget
cycle.
F
You
know
I'm
sort
of
disappointed
to
say
the
least,
because
I
was
hoping
for
something
for
my
community
and
that's
been
there
for
the
last
five
years.
Recreational
Services
I
understand
that
something
things
are
coming
up
and
that's
fine,
but
I
I
need
to
have
these
sit
down
talk
with
staff,
I
guess
to
see
exactly
what
is
being
planned
for
my
community
as
it
relates
to
Recreation
activities
out
there
in
the
community.
F
So
I
just
say
that
but
I'm
looking
forward
to
a
report,
I
am
looking
forward
to
the
report
because
I'm
hoping
for
some
directions
as
far
as
Recreation
way.
F
The
future
you're,
just
not
addressing
the
immediate
needs
that
we've
been
trying
to
ask
the
team
for
say
hello.
So
with.
F
And
comment
I
do
have
a
question
about
one
of
one
of
the
one
of
the
recreational
activity:
that's
very
popular
in
Northern
Buford,
as
well
as
the
southern
Buford,
Escape
parks
and
normally
I
mean
Southern.
Buford
has
skateparks
Northern
Beaufort
right
as
far
as
the
town
is
concerned,
doesn't
have
skate
parks,
but
there
is
a
skate
park
in
Port.
Royal
are
y'all.
Looking
at.
R
H
F
The
skateboarders,
who
will
probably
young
kids,
were
not
at
the
public
meeting
like
the
Super
Bowl
group.
F
Really
a
popular
thing,
south
of
the
broad
in
the
Buckwalter
Community
there
is
this
capable
gold
part
there.
It's
a
county
park
is
really
actively
you
being
used
and
Port
Royal.
One
is
also
very
active,
but
it
needs
a
little
bit
of
upgrading
stuff.
C
Could
you
back
up
on
the
slide,
please
I'm
looking
at
the?
So
that's
the
money.
So,
if
I'm
looking
at
this,
if
I'm
reading
it
right
and
your
low
priorities,
green
look
at
the
ones
on
the
bottom
softball
program,
football
program,
volleyball,
tour,
you're,
saying
those
are
very
low
priorities
and
then
I'm
going
up
and
I
see
golf
lessons
and
leagues
are
a
higher
priority.
C
T
R
T
With
John's
a
combination
of
two
things,
one
is
important
to
people
and
found
that
what's
an
unknown,
meaning
the
sports
programs,
you
see,
are
really
important.
They
are
a
much
lower
unmet
need
the
pickleball
ones.
If
you
see
on
the
previous
one,
these
are
pickleball
programs,
but
if
you
go
one
chart
back,
pickleball
is
almost
high
priority.
T
It
is
literally
the
second
highest
and
the
medium
priority
for
pickleball
courts,
so
that
is
among
the
highest
numbers
I've
seen
for
pickleball
when
five
years
ago
it
wasn't
on
the
radar,
so
I
would
guarantee
five
years
from
now.
If
you
do
it
again,
it's
gonna
get
even
higher,
so
the
trajectory
is
trending
upwards.
T
In
this
case,
this
is
a
more
physical
infrastructure
Focus
priority
and
you
can
see
the
elements
that
are
much
higher.
Golf
courses
are
not
that
high
here
golf
courses
is
very
much
in
the
middle
to
the
lower
end.
What
as
high
as
trails
and
connectivity,
Open,
Spaces,
boat
ramps,
canoe,
kayaking
dogs,
centers
and
senior
centers,
so
the
reason
I
see
more
of
those
also
is
like
we
talked
about
your
demographics.
T
There
is
a
larger
over
55
population
than
there
is
an
under
18
population,
which
is
also
why,
in
many
of
the
sports
activities,
though,
there
is
a
an
active
participation
group
over
time
that
portion
of
the
population
is
not
growing
the
same
way
as
your
55
plus
population
is
growing,
which
is
what
is
influencing
many
of
the
high
priorities
you
see
here.
The.
R
Other
thing
we're
going
to
do
is
when
we
look
at
the
the
map
and
we
look
at
the
gaps
and
we
look
at
distribution.
One
of
the
things
we
found
is
that
you
did
have
a
lot
of
ball
fields
in
the
county,
but
they're
not
programmed
activities
and
they're,
more
Rural
and
character.
So
how
do
you
deliver
youth
Athletics
in
those
areas
when
we
begin
to
look
at
the
Gap
analysis
and
analyze?
What
your
current
enrollment
and
engagement
in
those
programs
are,
we
can
begin
to
forecast
about
what
those
needs
will
be.
H
T
It
is
so
Etc
the
service
they
get
a
10
to
15
response
rate,
so
they
send
this
to
maybe
three
or
four
thousand
households
for
that
size.
350
is
a
statistically
reliable
sample
because
they
are
ensuring
that
the
survey
sample
closely
aligns
with
the
demographics
of
Beaufort
County.
So
in
the
entire
survey
report
you
see
it's
a
pretty
even
gender
split,
it's
a
pretty
distributed.
Eight
segments
as
well,
and
the
race
and
ethnic
profile
also
matches
the
larger
County
demographics.
That's
what
makes
it
more
representative
of
your
constituents
and
the
larger
community.
D
A
We
are
wrapping
up
for
today,
I
took
notes,
I
have
five
takeaways
from
today.
During
our
conversations
today,
the
following
topics
said
ministration
needs:
where
does
County
want
to
sit
with
the
following
circles?
Where
do
we
think
Circle
should
be
based
upon
the
Surplus
we've
had
over
the
last
couple
of
years
and
projecting
for
the
future?
A
Second,
we
want
to
do
something
with
our
personnel
who
heard
statistics
about
the
number
of
personnel.
We
have,
how
we're
attracting
them,
how
we're
keeping
them
and
they
think
it
is
a
cola,
Merit
combination.
We
need
to
weigh
in
on
that.
Third
millage
millage
is
the
key
to
raising
taxes.
What
do
we
want
the
millage
to
be?
What
does
a
mill
equate
to
that
will
be
discussed
further
you're
not
going
to
make
these
decisions
tonight,
because
we
have
more
information
to
come
tomorrow,
but
that's
a
key
element.
A
Number
four
Parks
and
Recreation
just
heard
this
you've
heard
about
Parks
and
Recreation
from
our
staff
you've
heard
about
our
active
Parks,
our
other
Parks,
our
centers.
What
are
we
going
to
do
for
the
future
and
dealing
with
our
Board
of
Education?
As
far
as
what
is
an
equitable
distribution
of
usage
of
them
and
paying
for
the
usage
of
them,
we
can't
give
them
everything
for
free
and
they
charge
us,
that's
not
equitable.
A
Finally,
we
know
that
there
are
expenditures
from
the
general
fund
to
outside
entities.
We
want
to
know
exactly
what
we're
giving
for
the
money
we're
giving
them.
So
a
letter
is
going
to
go
out
from
us
says
we
want
some
specificity
for
the
dollar
amount.
We
know
some
of
them
are
based
upon
millage
only
and
others
are
going
to
be
provided
in
our
general
budget,
but
for
the
dollars
we're
giving
we'll
want
to
know
exactly
what
we're
getting.
So.
Those
are
the
five
takeaways
I.
A
This
is
not
a
one-year
deal
the
first
year
of
the
next
four
years
of
this
Council
that
was
elected
with
specificity,
to
meet
the
needs
to
have
a
quality
of
life
that
we
deserve
in
this
County.
We
all
said
we
came
here
for
a
reason
and
they're
all
great
reasons.
We
all
want
to
maintain
that
and
grow
because
we're
going
to
grow,
but
the
right
way.
So
it's
the
first
year
of
a
multi-year
plan
with
that.
Is
there
any
other
thing
to
come
before
us
instruments.
F
Yes,
sir,
your
last
cycle
of
council,
some
of
us,
were
assigned
different
agencies.
