Few
noteworthy
items
about
what's
happening
in
the
finance
division
before
we
get
into
numbers
and.
D
The
register
of
deeds
office
along
with
communications,
recently
ran
a
reminder
across
all
of
our
media
outlets,
including
gas
station
tv,
that
a
free
service
called
property
fraud
alert
is
available
to
all
beaufort
county
property
owners.
All
you
have
to
do
is
go
to
the
rod,
webpage,
sign
up
for
email
alerts
and
anytime
there's
a
transaction
involving
your
property
you'll
get
an
email
on
that
course.
D
You
all
know
about
that,
but
with
ads
running
on
on
tv
and
radio
these
days
with
companies
wanting
to
to
sell
a
product,
we
just
wanted
to
remind
our
citizens
that
you
do
have
this
free
service
available
here
at
the
county
on
march
15th,
our
registrar,
mrs
green,
will
be
giving
a
presentation
to
the
bluffton
men's
fellowship
at
rose
hill
that
will
be
regarding
deed
fraud,
as
well
as
electronic
title
issues,
so
very
happy
that
mrs
green
is
getting
out
into
our
community
and
doing
some
of
those
things.
D
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
a
couple
of
people
in
our
finance
department,
sue
simpson,
who
prepared
four
batches
of
w-2s
for
beaufort
county.
Ladies
island
saint,
helena,
fire
district,
the
fusky
island
fire
district
and
bluffton
township
fire
department,
as
well
as
janet
andrews
for
preparing
the
1099s
for
beaufort
county.
That's
a
huge
job
and
a
big
thanks
to
to
those
two
individuals
that
got
everything
out
by
january
31st.
That's
a
that's
a
mammoth
undertaking
and
you're
going
to
hear
from
hayes
as
well
as
from
pinky.
G
Hello
all
thank
you
dale,
so
our
travel
expense
or
our
travel
reconciliation
form
right
now,
as
of
today
to
me
it's
a
little
confusing,
so
I
thought
I
would
revamp
it
and
give
it
a
fresh
new
look.
I've
been
told
by
finance
staff
that
it's
been
in
place
and
implemented
for
a
number
of
years.
They
were
thinking,
maybe
15
years.
I
don't
know,
maybe
more
so
so
what
I
did
was
I
revamped
it.
I
sent
it
out
to
sarah
and
whitney
eric
hayes
dale.
G
I
talked
to
janet
andrews
in
our
office
about
it
as
well
as
lori
sexton
in
our
office,
and
we
all
and
hayes
and-
and
we
all
agree
that
that
the
new
form
looks
more
user-friendly
than
our
outdated
form.
So
that's
what's
up
on
the
screen.
Right
now
is
an
addendum
to
our
travel
policy.
What
I
did
is,
I
took
the
handbook
and
found
the
travel
policy,
and
so
I
cited
what
which
page
we
are
amending
so
in
red.
G
Are
the
changes
to
the
travel
policy
and
mainly
the
changes
encompass
the
areas
of
the
rates,
the
subsistence
amounts.
Currently,
we
use
the
gsa
rates,
so
employees
have
to
go
out
and
research
where
they're
traveling,
by
putting
in
their
zip
code
to
gsa.gov
and
find
out
what
the
subsistence
is.
G
Every
time
you
all
travel
so
by
eliminating
that
one
step
could
save
a
lot
of
time,
and
so
what
we
did
is
we
put
in
the
new
policy
that
the
per
diem
rate
will
be
for
breakfast
twelve
dollars,
lunch,
seventeen
dollars
and
dinner
twenty
six
dollars,
and
that
totals
fifty
five
dollars
a
day.
That
is
consistent
with
the
gsa
rates.
Anytime,
you
all
travel.
G
I
searched
just
about
all
of
the
top
cities
in
south
carolina
as
well
as
charlotte
and
atlanta
and
such
and
it's
right
in
line
with
that,
so
feel
free
to
go
out
there
and
test
it
too,
to
make
sure
that
you
all
are
in
agreement
with
with
changing
those
rates
to
that.
So,
like
I
said
in
red,
I
wish
I
would
have
brought
my
red
paper,
so
I
could
follow
along,
but
I
did
not
mine's
black
and
white.
H
I
G
G
So
when
you
guys
come
back
the
second
item
in
red,
you
have
10
days
from
the
time
you
return
from
travel
from
your
trip
to
return
your
receipts
and
to
fill
out
the
new
travel
expense
reconciliation
report,
so
you
guys
can
get
reimbursed
for
your
mileage
and
your
subsistence,
and
so
the
next
down
the
page
47,
the
next
section
in
red
for
overnight
trips,
pretty,
is
either
paid
in
advance
upon
or
upon
return.
So
if
anyone
needs
an
advance,
then
of
course
we
will
advance
the
money,
if
not
fill
out
this.
Yes,
sir,.
E
G
Oh,
we
might
need
to
change
it,
then!
No,
no,
you
don't
we
okay,
we
don't
want
to
change
it
too
far.
Past.
We
definitely
don't
want
to
go
over
30
days
because
it
may
cross
over
in
fiscal
years.
So,
but
we
can,
we
can
up
it
to
20.,
no,
no,
no,
no,
leave
it
10.,
okay,
all
right,
and
so
the
next
section
in
red.
G
If
a
check
is
being
printed
for
reimbursement
opposed
to
ef
eft
payments
to
employees
bank
account,
please
specify
what
the
check
is
supposed
to
be
is
to
be
mailed
sent
in
our
office
or
held
for
pickup.
I
don't
think
that
was
in
the
policy
as
it
currently
is
adopted,
so
we
want
to
add
that
language
there
and,
if
per
diem,
is
issued
in
advance
to
an
employee
who
can
no
longer
attend
training.
Please
return
to
check
to
finance.
G
Do
not
allow
an
employee
to
cash
the
check
and
give
money
to
another
employee
that
messes
up
our
records
tremendously.
So
we
would
want
the
money
back
either
the
check
return
or
either
the
cash
paid
to
the
treasurer's
office
and
notify
and
finance
notified
employees
are
required,
and
we
put
this
in
there.
The
employees
are
required
to
attend
conference
or
training
sessions
which
justify
said
travel
and
expenses.
Abuse
of
the
travel
policy
could
result
in
disciplinary
action.
G
Responsible
for
the
county
for
the
county's
finances
and
welfare,
so
we
definitely
do
not
want
employees
abusing
travel
and
and
acting
like
it's
vacation
right.
So
we
definitely
pay
for
employees
to
go
to
these
conferences
and
training
for
that.
For
that
reason,
for
conferences
and
training,
so
a
mileage
we'll
say
the
same
with
the
addition
of
a
little
a
little
bit
more
wording
in
that
paragraph,
so
it's
mileage
will
be
reimbursed
at
the
irs
rate
and
that's
what
you
guys
have
right
now.
G
The
rate
right
now
is
58.5
cents
and
they
change
that.
Every
january
mileage
may
be
verified
through
the
finance
department
through
tools
such
as
mapquest
or
google
maps,
and
things
like
that
and
there's
your
rates,
breakfast
lunch
and
dinner
with
the
total
and
then
a
detailed
hotel
receipt.
So
we
don't
want
a
hotel
receipt
with
just
the
total.
It
needs
to
be
detailed
per
night,
so
we
can
get
that
rate
per
night
to
plug
into
the
to
the
form.
Meals
which
are
included
in
your
registration
or
training
are
not
reimbursable
under
any
circumstance.
G
Okay,
so
that
is
the
old
form
which
has
multiple
boxes
separating
lodging
meals
and
mileage,
and
then,
if
you
keep
going
down
and
then
there's
the
new
form
where
it
puts
all
of
it,
just
in
one
box,
so
you've
got
your
your
dates
and
you're
going
from
beaufort
to
myrtle
beach
or
wherever
the
miles
you
traveled
from
and
then
and
then
the
dates.
If
you
were
there
five
days,
you
would
have
five
different
dates
and
then
at
the
bottom,
you
would
put
from
myrtle
beach
to
to
be
for
back
to
buford
with
your
mileage.
G
G
C
A
G
H
It
looks
like
this
is
kind
of
set
up
for
trips.
For
the
most
part,
can
we
also
keep
a
monthly
log
of
mileage
and
turn
it
in.
B
G
E
M
A
brief
overview
of
the
january
financial
statements
there
on
page,
the
overviews
are
on
page
eight
and
nine
of
those
handouts,
we're
tracking
kind
of
where
I
thought
we
should
be.
Our
revenues
that
we've
collected
to
date
are
about
85
percent
of
budget.
For
the
year
that
we've
completed
it
should
be
about
58..
The
driver
behind
that
is.
We
created
the
majority
of
our
property
tax
revenues.
M
We
actually
collected
95
million
of
the
100
million
dollar
budget,
so
that's
really
driving
where,
where
we
are
as
far
as
collections
of
revenues,
we
we
also
there's
some
revenues
that
are
down
licenses
and
permits
and
intergovernment
revenues
continue
to
lag
I'll
speak
specifically
to
the
to
the
excuse,
me
intergovernmental
revenues.
M
We
just
got
our
second
quarter
check
on
friday
for
1.8
million
dollars.
That's
why
this
is
continues
to
lag.
They
used
to
be
the
the
quarter
would
close
and
then,
by
about
the
20th
of
the
following
month,
we
would
get
those
revenues
since
the
census
has
been
about
two
months,
so
it
is
causing
a
lag.
It
will
catch
up
by
year,
end
we'll
do
ar
the
year
and
to
catch
it.
All
up
that
brings
me
to
expenses
which
are
on
page
9.
M
M
M
Well,
I
mean
I'm
always
concerned,
but
july
july,
through
november,
gives
me
a
lot
less
heartburn
than
when
I'm
in
january
15th
and
there's
not
not
what
I
think
should
be
in
there,
but
yeah
it
should
enter.
Stevens
is
really
in
the
process
of
collecting
everything.
M
Should
turn
around
by
the
end
of
the
year?
That's
a
good
point,
good
point:
our
expenditures
are
tracking
kind
of
right
where
we
thought
they
should
be.
We've
completed
about
58
percent
of
the
year
and
and
we've
expanded
57.
M
There
aren't
a
whole
lot
of
outliers.
If
you
look,
it
is
kind
of.
F
M
It's
a
good
budget,
guys
good
job,
good
job
with
me
good
job
myself.
It
is
where
it
should
be.
So
you
know
it's
tracking.
You
know
there
are
some
outliers,
but
we're
good
we're
good
there
and.
M
Page
10
through
13.
and
so
but.
N
If
I
could,
mr
chairman,
thank
you,
please
brian
flewelling,
here,
hey,
you
know
on
the
ex
the
revenue
and
expenditures
detail,
I'd
appreciate
it.
If
you'd
have
the
percentage
the
same
way
as
you
do
in
the
other
sheets,
just
giving
us
the
variance
it's
a
little
a
little
hard
for
us
to
pick
out
the
variance
a
percent.
M
C
Very
good,
thank
you
for
that
presentation
very
well
done.
Item
number
11
on
the
agenda
update
from
budget
director
pinky
harriet
on
the
school
year,
2023
budget
process.
B
C
Skipped

sorry,
I
did
not
scroll
far
enough.
My
apologies
number.
Nine!
That's
that's!
How
you
do
presentation
of
the
fiscal
year,
2021
annual,
comprehensive
financial
security,
yeah.
M
216
pages
david
irwin
who's,
the
partner
in
charge
from
baldwin
and
jenkins,
will
be
given
a
detailed
overview
of
it
at
the
next
council
meeting.
So
I'm
not
going
to
bore
you
all
to
death
twice
with
it,
so
I'm
just
going
to
kind
of
hit
the
highlights.
As
I
see
them,
and
if
you'll
have
any
questions,
I
can
ask
them
and
try
to
answer
them.
First,
I
need
to
thank
all
my
staff.
I
need
to
thank
you
in
in
other
departments
within
the
county
because
doing.
F
M
Page
document
I'm
good,
but
I'm
not
that
good.
My
staff
helped
a
lot
to
get
this
done
in
a
timely
manner.
Obviously,
we've
done
it
earlier
than
we
have
in
the
past.
We
set
more
goals
for
ourselves
for
next
year
to
get
it
done
even
more
expeditiously
but
yeah
my
staff.
M
This
won't
be
here
without
them.
So
I
needed
to
do
that.
As
I
said,
before,
actual
audit
was
performed
by
norman
jenkins.
They
issued
what
I
would.
The
layman's
would
call
a
clean
opinion.
What
us
when
I
was
a
an
auditor,
we'd
call
an
unqualified
opinion,
but
which
is
good,
which
they
didn't
find
any
material
weakness
in
any
deficiencies,
internal
controls
and
or
any
reportable
conditions.
M
The
biggest
thing
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
was
the
general
fund
had
a
change
in
the
fund.
Balance
of
about
17.8
million
dollars,
which
was
due
to
a
lot
of
2021,
was
just
a
weird
year
with
covet.
Everybody
was
pulled
back,
it
was
people
didn't,
spend
money.
We
made
more
money
than
we
thought
that
we
had
projected.
M
It
was
kind
of
all
over
the
board.
I
wouldn't
expect
to
see
this
going
this
large
of
a
carryover
going
forward
in
the
future.
I
think
this
is
the
one
off
everything's
because
of
covet,
so
then
I
wanted
to
point
out
that
we
had
five.
We
had
four
findings
in
question
costs
in
the
2020
audit.
M
As
of
this
audit,
they
were
all
resolved
all
four
of
them,
so
we
cleared
up
all
those
issues
and
then
the
the
big
news
is
that
we
didn't
have
any
for
this
year.
So
that's
a
really
good
thing.
I
think
that
the
finance
department
budget
department,
everybody,
are
headed
in
a
very
positive
direction
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
get
there
but
david
irwin
will
do
a
much
more
detailed
dive
on
this.
C
C
O
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
committee
understands
the
magnitude
and
the
cost
of
this.
This
is
going
to
be
something
that
is
going
to
be
very
costly
to
the
county.
If
you
all
undertake
this,
it's
going
to
be
very
costly
and
consuming
of
staff
resources.
O
We
at
the
staff
level
do
not
really
think
that
it's
necessary
we've
hired
people
or
we
have
people
in
place.
Now
that
can
manage
our
fixed
assets,
move
them
forward,
and
we
would
recommend
that
you
all-
let
us
do
that
for
the
year
and
not
do
this
audit
and
save
that
money,
because
we
think
we
can
correct
whatever
issues
there
might
have
been
in
the
past.
Regarding
regarding
the
situation,
so
that's
my
recommendation.
B
B
We
just
want
to
audit
some
practices
that
we've
done
in
the
past
to
ensure
that
we're
doing
everything
correctly.
So
we
we
shouldn't
be
using
the
term
forensic
audit.
A
Ask
some
comments,
please
I'm
not
sure,
what's
causing
this
concern
at
this
first
I've
heard
of
it
in
three
years.
A
I
think
if
there
is
any
concern,
it's
certainly
a
lot
easier
to
develop
a
template
internally
and
have
the
department
heads
provide
whatever
an
inventory
is
on
hand
of
the
items
that
we
are
seeking
clarification
on,
and
then
we
can.
Someone
can
review
those
internally
and
see
if
there's
anything
that
causes
them
any
heartburn.
But
I
I
don't
agree
that
we
need
to
have
another
firm
come
in.
C
Okay,
I'll
take
a
bite
at
this
one
so
where
this
came
from
was
the
internal
or
the
outsourced
internal
audit,
as
I
call
it
that
was
conducted
and
finished
sometime
in
the
tail
end
of
2021,
and
one
of
the
issues
that
they
identified
was
that
there
was
no
fixed
asset
listing
previously.
C
Maintained
now,
from
my
perspective
and
I'm
guessing
from
the
perspective
of
the
average
taxpayer,
a
lot
of
the
tax
money
that
we
collect
goes
towards
stuff.
Fixed
assets,
vehicles,
equipment,
computers.
You
know
the
list
goes
on
and
on
and
on,
but
from
my
perspective,
it's
not
a
good
thing
for
us
to
sit
here
and
say:
hey
we,
we
spent
your
money,
but
we
don't
know
where
it
is
and
where
it's
sitting.
C
I
don't
think
that
you
know.
Forensic
audit
is
necessarily
a
great
thing
to
undergo.
It
comes
with
a
whole
bunch
of
negative
connotations.
It's
hard
it's
expensive,
but
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
for
the
taxpayers,
because
we
can
say
to
the
taxpayers
with
certainty
from
an
outside
party.
This
is
what
we
spend
your
money
on.
This
is
what
we
still
have.
This
is
what
we
don't
have.
This
is
where
your
money
went.
C
So
I
think
from
accountability
perspective.
It's
a
good
thing.
It's
a
good
thing
from
a
transparency
perspective
for
the
taxpayers
as
well.
I
don't
think
that
what
we
should
do
after
we
have
an
internal
audit
that
flags
such
a
huge
deficiency
is
saying.
Oh
everything's,
fine,
we'll
go
ahead
and
we'll
audit
it
ourselves.
I
don't
think
from
a
transparent
team
from
an
accountability
perspective
that
that
is
an
appropriate
way
to
go.
My
opinion.
E
I
Can
I
make
a
comment,
mr
chairman
chairman,
I'm
very
familiar
with
internal
property
controls
that
can
be
done.
It's
my
understanding.
The
county
didn't
have
a
system
before.
I
think
that's
what
this
pointed
out,
that
we
needed
internal
property
controls.
I
I
think
it
can
be
done
internally
with
oversight
by
the
county
administrator,
who
is
ultimately
responsible
anyway,
and
I
I
don't
see
the
added
expense
necessary,
but
I
do
think
this
will
institutionalize
what
we
needed,
which
was
internal
property
control
and
it
will
take
work,
but
we
can
do
it
and
I
think
it
can
be
done
internally.
O
We
in
the
past
didn't
have
anyone
on
staff
that
was
capable
of
being
able
to
do
this,
and
you
all
have
corrected
that.
You
authorize
us
the
funds
to
hire
several
people
back
in
the
fall
or
earlier
this
year.
I
can't
remember
exactly
which
now
late.
F
F
O
F
O
Know
a
printer
or
you
know,
a
hammer
or
a
shovel
or
something
you
know
I
don't
you
know
it
could
or
a
lot
more,
but
you
know
I
don't
know
what
we're
going
to
do
about
that,
because
that
stuff
could
have
been
missing
for
many
many
years.
So
I
I
don't
know
what
purpose
it
would
serve,
we're
going
to
correct
it
moving
forward.
We
do
we're
going
to
develop
a
fixed
assets
list
and
we
will.
We
will
make
sure
that
we
have
that
stuff
available
in
the
future.
C
Yeah
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong,
but
if
we,
if
we
did
an
audit
and
there
were
things
that
were
missing,
then
there
would
be
an
adjustment
that
would
be
made
in
the
books
that
would
flew
through
to
the
cafe
and
then
we
would
be
telling
the
public
hey.
This
is
what
happened.
This
is
what
actual
flick
staff
sets.
Are
we
made
an
adjustment?
Here's?
Why
and
here's
how
much
it
is.
Is
that
correct.
J
Yes,
you
are
correct.
I
had
he
had
to
bring
the
accountant
up
here
to
respond
just
to
add
a
little
more
context.
J
J
Both
of
those
employees
were
the
two
that
were
responsible
for
maintaining
our
fixed
assets
listing
inside
of
our
accounting
system.
So
when
they
departed
beaufort
county,
it
took
some
time,
let's
see
a
little
more
than
a
year
now
for
us
to
replace
people
that
possessed
those
skills
and
whose
focus
was
fixed
assets.
J
So
that
was
the
reason
we
were
deemed
on
the
internal
audit.
It
wasn't
that
we
never
had
anyone
doing
it
that
we
lacked
a
you
know,
a
passion
for
keeping
up
with
it
or
that
we
wanted
to
be.
J
You
know
vague
or
obscure
in
our
accounting
or
tracking
of
counties,
assets
or
anything
like
that
was
simply
one
of
those
vacancies
that
took
a
while
for
us
to
fill
and
she
devoted
to
staff
time
to
do
now.
We
have
that,
which
is
why
we
think
we
can
carry
on
with
this
recommendation
without
having
to
go
through
an
entire
internal
audit.
C
One
more
one
more
question:
can
you
point
me
to
the
page
in
the
agenda
packet
that
has
the
amounts
of
the
rfps
that
we
received
back?
I.
J
Don't
know
that
off
the
top
of
my
head,
do
you
happen
to
have
that
rana.
J
P
Good
afternoon,
mr
chairman,
I'm
dave
thomas
director
of
purchasing.
There
were
two
responses.
One
was
around
the
80
000
phase
and
it
wasn't
as
intense
and
remember.
This
is
an
forensic
audit
that
they're
gonna
look
at
everything
over
five
thousand
dollars
and
the
way
it
was
written
we
want
them.
We
wanted
them
to
look
and
provide
the
service
to
look
at
not
only
equipment
but
also
real
property,
so
the
second
bid
that
we
received
was
like
188
000..
That
did
not
include
everything.
C
K
K
So
that's
the
kind
of
order
that
I
would
have
wanted
to
see
and
one
where,
by
having
an
oversight
group
or
whatever
somebody
inside
in
the
system
or
somebody
outside
the
system,
needs
to
tell
us
we're
doing
something
wrong
and
not
be
afraid
to
say
that
to
us
as
a
council,
if
you
got
staff
on
board,
that
would
would
pinpoint
and
say
dave
is
doing
something
wrong
and
I
told
him
to
stop
and
he's
not
doing
it
and
bring
that
forward.
You
know
that's
the
kind
of
thing
that
I
want.
K
I
don't
know
whether
you
have
that
in
staff.
So
when
we
talked
about
it
order,
that's
the
kind
of
flavor
I
was
looking
for
so
that
you
know,
if
you
have
somebody
like
mr
greenway
who's,
the
your
immediate
supervisor
and
he's
doing
something
wrong,
but
you
don't
want
to
tell
nobody
about
that
because
you'll
fail
your
job,
I
think
as
council.
We
need
to
know
that
and
somebody
on
the
outside
may
be
willing
to
do
that
other
than
you.
That's
where
I
come
in
that
way.
You
know
whether
we
do
it
or
not.
K
H
Yeah
and
I
do
believe
you're
on
the
right
track
to
to
catch
up
internally
what
what
you
need
to
do,
and
but
I
do
think
you
know
if
you
run
across
a
case
like
half
the
lawnmowers-
have
disappeared.
It
may
lend
itself
at
some
point
in
time
to
a
forensic
audit.
But
if
we
get
to
that
point
it
it
ought
to
be
an
executive
session.
So
we
know
what
it
is
and
we
go
forward
because,
really,
as
joe
said,
it's
pretty
much
criminal.
What
you're!
B
Yeah
one
one
comment,
I
would
say
the
reason
we
are
doing.
This
is
actually
twofold:
one
we're
setting
a
dollar
value
of
things
that
we
think
are
very
important
to
us
and
those
really
have
depreciation
values
and
those
are
the
things
you
tag
everything
else
below
that
becomes
what
is
called
a
consumable.
B
So
that's
the
kind
of
audit
I
would
expect
we
should
be
doing
is
every
so
often
we
take
a
physical
inventory
for
insurance
purposes,
because
our
insurance
is
dependent
upon
that
and
depreciation.
Where
are
they?
We
have
so
many
buildings,
so
you
know
the
chairs
in
here
are
here
today
that
doesn't
mean
they're
going
to
be
here
next
year.
They
might
be
someplace
else,
but
when
you
did
an
audit,
if
you
had
an
outside
company,
come
in
and
physically
audit
everything
they
go
through
and
they
tag
everything,
so
I
think
we're
on
the
right
track.
B
F
P
C
Okay,
so
this
was
a
discussion.
Only
item
in
the
journal
sentence,
I'm
getting
from
council
is
that
we
do
not
want
staff
to
move
forward
with
the
internal
audit,
so
we
can
move
on.
I
will
make
one
final
point,
though.
It
is
alarming
to
me
that
we
started
with
the
assertion
that
this
item
was
too
expensive
and
that
dollar
figure
was
not
presented
to
us
in
the
agenda
packet
and
we
started
from
research
and
it's
too
expensive
without
having
any
sort
of
quantification.
What
that
actually
means.
C
L
Well,
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
brief
update
on
our
fiscal
year
23
budget
process.
Currently
we,
as
you
well
know,
we
are
preparing
a
three-year
cip
plan
for
to
incorporate
in
fiscal
year
23.
and
as
of
now,
the
committee
has
met
on
several
occasions
and
ranked
the
project.
L
We
are
preparing
the
draft
cip
book
for
administration
to
review
for
modifications,
and
once
those
modifications
are
complete,
we
will
present
to
council
a
full
list
of
funded,
partially
funded
and
unfunded
projects
that
are
that
have
been
submitted
recently
for
the
capital
improvement
plan
during
the
fiscal
year
23
budget
regular
budget
process,
I
should
say
we
have
now
received
all
of
our
departmental
budget
requests
for
fiscal
year.
23
we're
reviewing
all
of
the
requests
and
the
submissions
and
getting
clarifications
from
department
heads.
L
We
are
also
continuing
to
work
with
finance
closely
to
condense
our
chart
of
accounts
moving.
As
you
recall.
Last
year
we
did
a
lot
of
cleanup
in
our
general
fund,
we're
moving
on
to
some
of
our
other
funds
to
try
to
consolidate
our
chart
of
accounts,
we're
also
working
on
revenue
projections
for
the
upcoming
fiscal
year.
We
have
learned
that
the
south
carolina
revenue
and
fiscal
affairs
office
has
issued
a
memo
on
millage
rate
increase
limits
for
fiscal
year,
23
of
a
4.
L
4.7
percent
increase
due
to
cpi
increasing
from
calendar
calendar
year
2020.
That
is
also
the
percentage
that
revenue
fiscal
affairs
will
be
using
to
calculate
millage
increase
limitations
plus
any
applicable
increase
in
population
as
well.
So
that's
currently,
where
we
stand,
is
there
any
questions?
I
can
answer.
C
Any
questions
from
the
committee,
anybody
in
the
class
chambers
nope
all
good,
very
good.
Thank
you.
Miss
harriet
that
takes
us
to
item
number
12
on
the
agenda,
recommend
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
for
approval
of
splitter
2022,
local
accommodations
and
local
hospitality
tax
grant
awards.
That
will
be
shannon
miller
good
afternoon.
B
Chairman,
I
have
one
yeah
and
then
york
is
next.
Q
All
right,
as
I
look
at
the
applications
that
were
submitted
down
at
the
bottom,
the
tabernacle
baptist
church
for
the
completion
of
the
harriet
club
monument.
Q
The
response
was
that
it's
not
being
funded
because
the
project
doesn't
meet
the
scope
or
fit
the
scope,
but
once
completed
then
they
can
apply
for
atax.
And
can
you
elaborate
on
on
why
the
position
is
that
it
doesn't
fit
the
scope?
Can
you
can
you
give
some
clarification
here?
Sure.
R
In
discussions,
it
was
sort
of
discussed
that
the
statue
itself
perhaps
would
not
be
as
big
of
a
tourist
draw
for
the
amount
of
money
they
were
asking
for.
They
did
have
some
funds
in
their
request
for
marketing
and
advertising
of
the
statue
to
bring
folks
here
once
it
is
built.
So
the
comment
on
the
spreadsheet
is
related
to
once
the
statute
is
completed.
We
could
award
some
marketing
and
promotions
funds
for
that
tourism
of
the
statue.
K
Mr
barber,
thank
you
is,
is
something
that
that's
more
subjective
right
now
than
it
is
actually
based
on
any
procedure
that
we
have
done
in
the
past
is.
K
K
They
don't
have
those
numbers,
but
is
that
what
you're?
Looking
for.
K
And
I
can
tell
you
that
there's
a
lot
of
activity
there
with
the
robert
small
plus
next
door,
to
that
would
be
the
harriet
tubman
monument
which
will
again
generate
even
more
flow
of
tourism
in
that
area.
But
I
can
tell
you
that
I
don't
think
the
church
at
this
time
has
actually
the
alvey.
K
They
can
do
that
to
tell
you
exactly
how
many
people
actually
stop
by
there,
because
people
pass
by
the
all
the
time
they're,
not
counting
them,
nobody's
out
there
counting
them,
but
they
are
constantly
looking
at
that
that
they,
the
bustle
of
smalls,
and
this
particular
monument
for
harry
tugman,
would
even
increase
traffic
down
that
area.
K
So
I
don't
know
how
to
measure
that
I
don't
know
how
they
would
measure
that
to
make
them
eligible,
but
promoting.
It
is
one
thing
having
that
monument
there
to
me
means
that
we
are
really
investing
in
that
that
that
community,
at
that
site,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
found
very
disturbing
and
I'll
say
it
was
that
when
they
had
the
bus
of
robert
smalls,
that
was
not
the
first
site
for
that
bus.
K
Nobody
wanted
that
bus
and
tabernacle
stepped
up
and
said
we'll
put
it
here
at
the
church.
I
hate
for
this
to
go
down
negatively
at
this
time,
so
I
reserve
some
inclusion
of
that
request
at
this
time,
so
I
probably
will
vote
negatively
negatively
to
the
recommendation.
O
Yeah
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
clear
that
is.
This
is
a
little
bit
beyond
just
being
able
to
prove
numbers
as
the
number
of
people
that
would
go
to
the
site.
It
boils
down
to
the
local
a-tax
ordinance.
It
says
that
the
only
thing
that
are
eligible
are
cultural
tourism,
recreation,
buildings
or
facilities,
and
you
know
we're
not
sure
that
a
statue
could
you
look
into
that
or
a
monument
would
fit
the
definition
of
either
a
building
or
a
facility.
You
always
county
council.
O
Whenever
the
recommendation
was
made
to
me,
I
basically
felt
like
it
was
not
an
issue
that
we
could
fund
a
for
a
statue,
you
all
as
council.
If
you
want
us
to
allocate
some
funding
to
that,
you
have
the
right
to
say.
We
think
this
is
a
facility.
This
is
a
building
if
you
feel
that
that
is
a
if
a
statue
comports
with
that
definition,
because
there
is
really
no
definition
in
the
code
in
the
local
ordinance
that
I
saw
that
talk
about
a
building
a
facility.
K
I
appreciate
if
you
would
actually
research
that
for
me,
as
far
as
the
definition
and
whether
it
could
be
because
I
would
hate
to
put
this
council
in
jeopardy
because
of
this,
but
I
sure
would
like
to
know
that.
K
H
Chris
stu
here
oh
alex,
go
ahead
and.
I
I
I
think
I
understand,
but
why
it
wasn't
selected
annual
book
sale
for
friends
of
beaufort,
county
beaufort
library,
but
I
didn't
understand
the
reason
it
said.
Installation
on
a
facility
owned
by
another
entity
was
questionable.
Is
that
was
that
your
application,
which
number
is
that
oh.
C
H
Yeah,
let
me
go
back
to
the
statute
for
harriet
tubman.
I
don't
know
whether
it
fits
or
doesn't
fit.
It
does
seem
to
me,
though,
that
she's
an
important
part
of
our
history
in
this
county
and
in
some
form,
if
we
can
help
make
it
happen,
with
some
kind
of
a
contribution
wherever
we
get
the
funds,
I
think
something
we
ought
to
seriously
consider.
I
S
C
Mr
chairman,
seconded
by
councilman
flewelling,
without
objection,
we'll
go
ahead
and
approve
this.
Do
we
have
any
objections?
I
do
okay,
councilman
dawson.
You
can
go
ahead
and
do
a
roll
vote,
glover,
okay,
glover
and
dawson.
There's
the
two
two:
no
votes
on
this
item.
I
B
C
I
T
T
To
cover
item
14,
which
is
general
provision,
updates
parks
and
rec
library
and
viruses
are
all
fees
I
like
to
cover
both
at
the
same
time.
Yes,
please
do
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much,
so
it
has
been
a
while,
since
we
have
discussed
these
particular
impact
fees,
the
particular
vice
study
was
presented
in
august
of
2020,
so
it's
been
a
while.
T
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
start
by
recapping
in
very
broad
terms,
the
tishler
by
study,
in
particular,
the
four
fees
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about,
and
then
the
three
methodologies
very
quickly
that
are
used
and
the
service
areas
related
to
the
four
fees
so
parks
and
rec.
There
are
two
service
areas,
north
and
south,
of
the
broad
cost
allocation
methodology,
for
this
is
population
growth,
the
library
fee.
There
will
be
two
service
areas,
one
north
one
south,
and
that
is
also
population
cost
allocation.
T
Population
for
the
residential
fee
and
then
vehicle
trips
or
the
trip
generation
tables,
as
we
also
know
them
for
the
non-residential,
and
then
fire
is
a
little
unique.
We
have
the
north
of
the
broad
service
area
and
the
bluffton
fire
service
area,
and
that
is,
they
used
the
edu
equivalent
dwelling
unit,
formulary
or
methodology
for
determining
that
I'll
get
into
what
that
specifically
means
here
in
just
a
second.
H
T
I
took
out
of
tishlerbice's
presentation
that
they
made
and
I
thought
they
were
relevant
because
they
break
down
a
comparison
between
the
current
fee
that
we
have
and
then
their
methodology
and
what
the
new
fee
is
going
to
be.
So
if
it's,
okay,
I'm
going
to
walk
through
from
the
top
left,
where
it
says
north
of
the
broad
service
area,
they
used
improvement,
costs
per
person,
regional
parks,
community
parks,
neighborhood.
T
T
T
F
F
T
T
The
park
fee
for
bluffton
area
is
13.85
currently
for
ladies
island.
It's
429
per
dwelling
unit,
and
this
is
any
size
dwelling
unit
for
port
royal
island.
It's
81
and
for
st
helen
and
fripp
is
775.
T
T
F
T
Continue
down
that
list,
we
can
look
at
just
as
an
example.
Let's
take
a
2
000
square
foot
house
that
would
be
in
the
housing
unit
square
foot,
section
1751
to
2000
the
multiplier
based
on
the
improvement.
Cost
per
person
is
2.5,
and
that
would
that
fee
for
that
size
house
based
on
that
occupancy,
is
868
as
compared
to
the
average
of
321.
T
T
T
T
T
T
T
Service,
industrial
and
institutional
is
covered
by
the
trip
generation
tables
or
the
cost
per
non-residential
vehicle
trip
based
on
each
one
of
those.
T
If
you
go
down
to
institutional,
the
multiplier
is
5.36,
which
would
be
139
dollars
per
thousand
square
foot
of
institutional
space,
so
fire
impact
fees,
fire
impact
fees
are
calculated
a
little
differently
and
it
took
me
a
while
to
get
my
head
around
exactly
what
an
edu
represents,
because
they
use
equivalent
dwelling
units
for
both
residential
and
non-residential
applications.
T
T
T
T
T
F
T
Want
to
point
out-
and
I
apologize
for
not
doing
this
earlier-
the
current
fee-
that
was
a
appeared
to
be
a
typo.
I
did
not
change
their
their
fee
on
their
tisler
vices
powerpoint
because
it
wasn't
mine,
but
the
average
what
they
did
is
they
took
the
edu
and
put
it
in
that
column.
The
average
currently
is
482
for
an
average.
So
if
you,
if
you
look
back
there,
there
will
be
an
increase,
but
it's
pretty
nominal,
but
I.
T
T
F
K
T
T
T
This
could
be
a
fairly
substantial
number
every
year.
However,
if
we
don't
include
it,
inflation
will
outpace
the
fees
and
there
will
be
a
huge
delta
over
five
years
of
perhaps
you
know,
20
25-
and
I
know
that's
a
large
number,
but
looking
at
where
we
are
now,
we
could
have
a
huge
delta
over
a
few
years.
T
N
Thank
you
chuck.
Thank
you
very
much
for
for
dropping
this
on
us.
I
wish
I
had
had
a
chance
to
review
it
over
the
weekend
because
I'm
sure
I'll
have
questions
and
ask
for
some
refinements.
Therefore,
mr
chairman,
I
don't
think
it's
appropriate
for
us
to
be
voting
on
this
today.
I
think
we
need
more
time
to
evaluate
it,
the
yeah
I'll
stop
there.
Thank
you.
H
Chris
stu
here
go
ahead,
yeah
a
good
presentation,
very
comprehensive,
easy
to
understand.
I
do
think
the
inflation
piece
makes
sense
going
forward
and
my
take
is
that
this
will
be
very
favorable
for
affordable
or
workforce
housing
which
we're
all
concerned
about.
I
I
do
think
brian,
given
that
we
have
to
have
three
readings.
It
would
seem
to
me
that
it's
logical
to
move
it
forward
and
then,
if
we
have
some
major
issues,
we
could
bring
it
back
to
committee.
H
So
I
will
make
a
recommendation
for
items
13
and
14
for
approval
to
go
on
to
council
at
first
reading.
C
N
When
everybody's
done,
I
have
another
one,
sir,
I
think
you're
it
I'd,
be
interested
in
having
a
a
bit
of
advice
from
the
legal
department
regarding
the
ability
of
council
to
obligate
future
councils
for
an
increase
without
a
vote.
I
don't
believe
that
automatic
cpi
increases
are
allowable.
N
I
think
that
that
we've
run
across
that
in
some
other
measure
that
we
had
a
year
or
two
ago
which
escapes
me
at
the
moment,
but
I
think
that
the
the
advice
that
we
got
was
that
we
couldn't
couldn't
obligate
future
councils
for
an
increase
without
a
vote,
so
we
can
we
can.
We
can
require
them
to
discuss
them
at
her.
In
other
words,
we
can
put
it
on
an
agenda
for
next
year's
council
meetings,
but
we
can't
we
can't
require
them
to
approve
something.
E
Go
ahead,
paul,
did
you
call
me
chris?
How
are
you
thank
you?
Well,
a
couple
of
things.
One
is,
I
think,
folks
watching
us
think
that
if
we
pass
an
ordinance
to
implement
a
an
impact
fee
that
it's
a
good
idea
that
it
just
automatically
happens
throughout
the
county,
passing
an
ordinance
is
just
a
small
part
of
it.
It's
getting
the
municipalities
to
agree
is
is
what
really
counts,
and
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
as
reminding
everyone
who's
interested
in
listening
to
this,
but
just
because
we
pass,
it
doesn't
mean
the
municipalities.
E
Well,
there
are
lots
of
examples
around
right
now,
but
we
we
passed
impact
fees
that
are
that
we
think,
as
a
body
are
needed
and
municipalities
that
say
no
so
sometimes
with
a
reason,
sometimes
without
a
reason.
The
second
thing,
I
would
say
is,
I
think,
any
any
fee
fixed
fees
should
be
should
be
indexed
for
inflation,
because
it
just
creates
a
problem
in
the
with
the.
F
E
S
I
just
wanted
to
see
mr
wellington
brings
up
a
good
point
and
I'll
be
happy
to
think
about
that
and
research
it
and
get
back
to
council.
O
Very
good,
if
I
may
elaborate
on
the
cpi
that
language
is
in
our
current
ordinance,
if
you
recall
several
months
ago.
Well,
it's
been
two
or
three
years
ago
now
we've
been
dealing
with
this
that
long
we
brought
when
interim
county
administrator
john
weaver
was
here.
We
brought
before
you
all
a
proposal
to
raise
the
impact
fees
because
of
that
cpi
language
in
the
impact
fee
ordinance
previous
staff
had
not
done
that.
O
For
some
reason,
it
was
going
to
be
a
a
pretty
big
jump
in
the
impact
fee,
so
you
all
authorized
us
to
wait
until
the
impact
fee
study
was
complete
before
we
raised
the
current
impact
fees
using
cpi
that
cpi
language
is
in
our
current
ordinance
and
has
been
for
years,
and
I
think
it
is
legally
and
statutorily
correct.
Underneath
the
impact
fee
statute
or
our
impactv
consultant
would
have
told
us
to
remove
that,
so,
just
for
just
for
that,
whatever,
whatever
that
information
is
worth.
C
Okay,
thank
you
for
that.
I'll
provide
a
final
comment,
but
I'm
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned.
You
know
the
items
that
councilman
somerville
and
customers
willing
raise
are
a
little
bit
concerning
to
me.
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this
to
be
very
forward
to
council,
but
you
definitely
do
have
concerns
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
council
before
you
go
ahead
and
take
a
vote
and
to
do
a
roll
call
vote.
C
Q
I
C
C
C
C
H
Yeah,
this
is
one
of
those,
if
I
remember
back
historically,
where
they
don't
have
a
lot
to
do
in
between
assessments,
and
then
they
have
a
lot
to
do
when
there
are
assessments-
and
I
do
think-
with
the
rise
in
property
values,
some
people
are
going
to
feel
very
good
about
the
fact
that
it
went
up
but
they're
also.
H
We
may
get
a
large
number
of
objections,
so
you
may
want
to
give
some
thought
to
whether
we
need
any
temporary
people
or
some
temporary
expansion
of
the
committee
just
to
make
sure
we
work
through
the
assessments
appeals-
and
we
may
have
looked
at
this
in
the
past.
I
can't
it.
