Today's Broadcast is a Re-Broadcast of @cityofhardeevillesc687
A
Mayor
soccer
will
be
here
in
a
couple
of
minutes
thanks
good
morning.
Everyone
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
members
of
the
board,
who
are
up
here
if
you're
going
to
speak,
is
if
your
little
green
light
is
on
not
on
then
push
it
and
the
microphone
will
turn
on.
Okay,
we're
gonna
get
right
into
it.
We
have
I,
think
a
nice
crowd
today
and
a
lot
of
interest
in
our
Housing
Trust.
A
So
let's
get
going
right
away
and
we
will
start
as
as
we
all
know
there
was
a
new
committee
formed
and
councilwoman
Howard
was
graciously
agreed
to
Kickstart,
start
that
for
us,
so
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Alice.
To
give
us
an
update.
B
I
met
July
10th
at
Chambers
and
I'm
going
to
discussion.
We
had
a
good
attendance.
We
had
two
people
that
could
not
make
it.
Rob
Merchant
was
nominated
by
Kurt
to
be
chairman
and
elected
unanimously,
and
then
they
picked
up
vice
vice
chairman
Dan
Frazier
volunteered
to
be
the
vice
chairman.
We,
the
group,
still
needs
to
elect
a
secretary.
B
With
similar
language,
the
NOAA
said
the
group
could
do
the
same
exercise
that
was
done
as
the
north
of
the
broad
in
2014
to
adopt
a
form-based
code
and
look
at
those
and
Rob
suggested
doing
a
table
right
away
of
all
the
entities
involved
to
see
where
what
we
have
in
common
and
what
we
don't
have
in
common
growth,
boundaries
and
service
area.
Agreements
are
a
possibility.
They'd
like
to
talk
about,
and
common
standards
for
corridors
such
as
Transportation
was
also
mentioned.
B
The
leverage
that
Beaufort
Jasper
Sewer
Water
Authority
has
due
to
Water
and
Sewer,
was
discussed
and
Danny
mentioned
from
Jasper
County
that
they
would
they
would
wish
they
had
a
green
print
map
like
Beaufort
County
has
so
that
was
talked
about.
They
will
meet
again
on
July
31
first
and
will
present
at
the
next
meeting.
They
need
to,
like
I
said
they
need
to
elect
a
secretary
and
also
come
up
with
a
catchy
name
or
acronym
for
the
committee.
A
A
We
have
the
remainder
of
our
meeting
devoted
to
the
Housing
Trust
we've
gotten
yes
right,
oh
I
know
the
agenda
says
that
Brad
is
going
to
be
the
presenter,
but
we
do
have
I
think
all
the
Housing
Trust
board
members
here
today
or
if
not
most
of
them
and
Miss
Tommy
Hoy
is
going
to
be
given
the
presentation
Brad
or
will
you.
C
Yeah
mayor
good
morning
to
you
good
morning,
thank
you
all
for
again
just
giving
us
some
time
on
the
agenda
this
morning
to
give
y'all
an
update
on
the
Beaufort
Jasper
Housing
Trust.
Our
six-month
update
just
want
to
just
mention
to
you
right,
quick,
of
course
a
hand
did
some
handouts.
Those
handouts
consists
of
that
PowerPoint
that
would
be
used
for
presentation
and
also
a
action
plan
that
also
will
be
referenced
in
the
presentation.
C
We

and
she's
from
the
town

Port
Royal
myself,
Victoria

who

so
local
committee
I,
am
the
communications
and
advocacy
co-chair
and
Courtney
hampson,
who
is
representing
the
town
of
Bluffton?
Who
is
not
here
with
us
today?
Oh.
E
I
heard
you
I
apologize:
okay,
all
right,
okay,
purpose,
Mission,
Vision
and
core
objective,
so
I'm
not
going
to
go
through.
All
of
that,
you
all
have
it
or
either
it's
up
on
the
screen.
I
am
going
to
do
the
purpose
to
support
the
increased
preservation
and
production
of
affordable
housing
across
the
media
across
the
eight
jurisdictions,
with
the
focus
on
serving
households
at
or
below
100
of
the
area
median
and
income,
with
a
special
focus
on
housing
that
supports
families
at
60
and
Below
of
the
Ami.
E
The
mission,
the
mission
of
the
Beaufort
Jasper
Housing
Trust
Fund,
is
to
create
and
preserve
affordable
housing
in
the
Beaufort
in
Jasper
County.
Our
vision,
the
vision
of
the
Beaufort
Jasper
Housing
Trust
Fund,
is
that,
regardless
of
their
social,
economic
status,
individuals
and
families
in
Beaufort
and
Jasper
counties
are
able
to
remain
in
their
homes
or
find
high
quality,
safe,
well-maintained,
Housing,
close
to
their
place
of
employment.
E
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
these
but
create
new
housing.
Our
objectives
is
to
create
new
housing
or
units
or
rehabilitate
or
preserve
existing
housing
units
for
households
at
or
below
100
of
the
area.
Median
income,
with
a
strong
focus
on
houses
at
or
below
60
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income
strengthen
relationships,
build
trust
and
engage
partners
and
stakeholders
ensuring
and
organized
and
collaborative
approach
to
Regional,
Housing
challenges
and
leverage
outside
funding
from
Banks
corporations
for
the
philanthropic
institutions
and
federal
state
and
local
governments.
E
So
in
the
late
May
early
June,
2023
HUD,
release,
which
you
see
here,
is
the
area
median
income
for
Beaufort
and
Jasper
counties.
Now,
if
you
look
at
Beaufort
County
the
median
family
income
that
number
it's,
it's
just
mind-blowing,
you
know
it's
just
it's
no
word
sword.
It's
just
very
mind-blowing
down
in
Jasper.
County
is
not
as
high,
but
it
is
up
there.
So
these
are
the
families
and
the
groups
that
we
are
trying
to
make
it
a
little
more
feasible
for
them.
E
You
know
just
kind
of
make
it
comfortable
where
you
can
live,
where
you
work,
work
where
you
play
and
just
is
have
fun
without
you
know
being
stressed
about
housing,
so
what
I
did
print
off?
What
beautiful?
What
Bluffton
has
on
our
website
is
kind
of
a
more
of
a
breakdown
with
30,
50,
60,
80
and
100.
This
is
what
we
go
by
in
the
town
of
Bluffton.
E
If
anyone
wants
that
just
reach
out
to
us,
because
HUD
doesn't
really
have
it
broken
down,
how
we
need
to
see
it,
you
know
the
numbers
are
kind
of
they
make
it
for
you
to
calculate
it
yourself,
but
on
the
town
of
Bluffton
website,
I
have
posted
a
more
feasible
breakdown
of
where
everything
sits
with
the
extremely
low
to
the
moderate.
So
that's
just
kind
of
a
breakdown,
and
if
you
look
at
it
like
I,
said
it's
scary,
because
that
Beaufort
County
median
income,
where
how?
E
How
is
that
you
know
how
are
we
making
it
for
those
that
you
know
just
work,
a
regular
nine
to
five
job?
So
that's
what
we're
here
to
do
and
I'm
now
going
to
pass
it
over
to
Miss,
Wendy
and
she's,
going
to
give
you
a
bigger
picture
of
what's
going
on.
D
D
E
So
the
extremely
low
is
at
the
is
the
30
okay
yeah,
the
extremely
low
is
30.
Very
low,
like
you
said,
is,
is
50
and
then
our
80
is
considered
low.
Okay,
80
is
considered
low.
A
G
I'm
number
two
on
the
tag
team,
so
let's
get
to
the
next
one:
okay,
so
a
lot
of
this
material
I
think
you
will
find
familiar
because
we've
covered
it
in.
G
And
the
IGA
pretty
much
reflects
the
asicara
Robinson
study,
showing
the
five
priorities
providing
accessible,
affordable
housing,
overcoming
barriers
to
Affordable
development,
ensuring
a
regional
approach
for
affordable
housing,
understanding
the
tools
and
resources
and
identifying
a
stable
and
reliable,
dedicated
Source.
Needless
to
say,
if
we
don't
have
number
five
we're
going
to
have
a
really
hard
time
doing
number
one,
and
these
were
the
timelines
in
the
study,
and
we
actually
by
the
time
we
form
the
trust
we
were
one
quarter
off.
G
G
So
we've
pretty
much
gone
through
the
early
steps,
funding
the
trust,
passing
the
ordinance
developing
the
organization
we
now
have
reports
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff
financing
the
pro
projects.
We
are
very
fortunate
to
be
able
to
team
up
with
Community
works
because
they
really
know
this
business.
They
know
how
to
fund
it.
They
know
the
underwriting
they'll
be
underwriting
the
projects,
not
not
to
mention
the
advice
that
we
get
when
we
need
it.
So
thank
you
to
them.
G
So
that's
part
of
the
financing.
We
we
have
developed
key
criteria
and
Tony
Alfieri
is
here
and
he
is
the
main
person
for
that.
He
actually
has
a
lot
of
background
in
tax
credit
deals,
so
he
has
been
really
helpful
with
that
the
pipeline
we
have
just
started
Community
work
sent
out
on
RFP
in
May
and
we
did
get
a
response
right
now.
There
are
four
or
five
that
are
in
the
close
to
ready
stage.
G
G
And
Regional
Housing
coordination,
Dixie
Lanier,
who
she
is
on
a
business
trip
today,
I
think,
but
she
and
Vicki
are
head
of
the
communications
committee.
This
was
a
a
committee
we
just
formed
when
we
had
our
retreat
in
May
and
we
will
really
benefit
from
that.
We'll
be
able
to
keep
you
much
more
informed.
We
can
send
out
newsletters
and
things
like
that.
G
We
can
develop
marketing
materials
and
Dixie
has
a
lot
of
experience
in
that
this
is
impossible
to
read
the
action
plan
timeline,
but
suffice
it
to
say
we
pretty
much
have
accomplished
all
the
items
for
year,
one
here
and
we're
hard
at
work
on
year.
Two,
the
one
thing
I
would
say
that
we
have
not
fully
accomplished
is
the
finance
and
we
need
more
dedicated
funds
than
what
we
have.
G
And
this
is
even
more
impossible,
but
it
basically
reinforces
what
we've
already
been
saying:
we've
passed
funding
ordinances,
we've
gotten
some
funds,
starting
with
Arbor
funds
for
Year
One
we've
got
the
board
structure.
The
committee
structure
we've
had
a
retreat,
we've
partnered
with
a
cdfi,
and
we
are
going
to
get
better
at
providing
updates.
Now
that
we
have
a
committee
to
do
that.
G
Board
roles
and
structure
again,
I
think
you
pretty
much
know
this,
but
our
boards,
we
have
an
executive
committee
which
is
comprised
of
the
officers.
The
governance
committee,
Matt
Davis,
is
in
charge
of
he's.
The
head
of
IT
Finance
is
Michelle
and
Michelle
is
not
here
today.
G
G
And
defining
policies,
that's
that
support
our
activities,
project,
evaluation
and
financing.
Again,
that's
Tony!
That
committee
has
put
together
a
model
to
use
so
that
we
can
prioritize
projects
that
come
along
the
way
and
the
new,
the
new
new
committee
communication
and
advocacy
is
the
one
that
Dixie
and.
G
I
think
I
told
you
about
that
one
already:
okay,
we
had
our
planning
session
on
May
12th
Tammy
was
our
facilitator
and
Community
Works,
basically
provided
all
the
support
for
it.
We
have
developed
the
action
plan
that
is
in
your
handout.
I
think
you've
got
a
separate
handout
that
shows
what
we
prioritize
and
how
we're
doing
in
them.
There
were
33
action
items.
G
We've
we're
also
discussing
things
more
than
six
months
out.
So
in
the
future,
for
example,
we
would
like
to
be
able
to
do
land
banking.
We
would
like
to
be
able
to,
for
example,
on
the
tax
credit
deals
which
usually
get
flipped
after
15
years.
We
would
like
to
be
in
a
position
down
the
road
to
buy,
buy
those
and
keep
them
affordable,
and
we
will
always
be
in
in
fundraising
mode
I'm
sure
we're
going
to
have
a
retreat
in
the
fall.
A
I
think
we'll
we'll
come
back
around
everybody
should
make
their
notes
and
we'll
we'll
ask
questions
at
the
end.
F
Oh
all
right,
thank
you
and
it's
good
to
see
everyone
again
and
we
really
wanted
and
I
know
some
of
the
questions
and
I
know
that
mayor
you
had
reached
out
to
folks
ahead
of
time
to
prepare
any
additional
questions,
so
certainly
want
to
be
able
to
have
time
to
answer
those,
but
we
know
that
Community
engagement,
Outreach
and
pipeline
is
super
critical.
F
One
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
mention
that
we
did
accomplish
just
recently,
and
then
this
was
in
partnership
with
the
town
of
Hilton
Head
Island
Hilton
Head
Island
wanted
to
do
an
asset
map
of.
F
Non-Profits
and
local,
affordable
housing
developers
and
partners,
but
that
also
came
up
in
our
board
meeting-
is
that
the
regional
fund
needed
to
do
that
as
well.
So
we
can
determine
who's
doing
what
across
the
region
in
terms
of
affordable
housing,
whether
you're
a
developer,
you're,
a
partner,
you're
a
resource,
and
so
we
focused
and
honed
in
on
this.
F
So
this
is
now
a
live
link
thanks
to
Beaufort,
County
GIS
has
mapped
it
and
I,
don't
know
if
you
could
pull
that
up
real
quick
for
me
and
you
can
kind
of
see
what
it
looks
like
and
obviously
so
here
is
the
actual
map
that
was
mapped
by
Beaufort
County
and
again
thanks
to
the
town
of
Hilton,
head's
leadership
and,
of
course,
the
housing
fund.
F
This
also
includes
organizations
that
may
be
Statewide
so,
as
we
know,
there's
some
developers
that
maybe
not
be
local
and
also
our
state
housing
and
some
of
the
other
resources
and
partners.
So
actually,
when
you
click
on
those
little
icons,
they
pop
up
and
they
show
you
what
organization
and
where
they
are
their
addresses
and
such,
and
so
this
would
be
an
ongoing
built
website
that
we
would
continue
to
update
and
be
a
resource
for
the
community
here
in
the
region.
So
we
were.
F
That
was
a
big
project
that
we
identified
as
a
need
both
for
each
local
government
entity,
but
also
for
the
Regional
Housing
fund.
So
you
could
go
back
to
the
thank
you.
We
did
Focus
that
map
predominantly
on
housing
related
sources.
So
a
lot
of
people
mention
churches
and
you
know
other
types
of
non-profit
services,
but
we
really
tried
to
hone
in
on
if
they
provided
some
sort
of,
even
if
it
was
rental
assistance,
even
if
it
was
utilities
as
something
associated
with
housing.
F
We
mentioned
that
also
we've
been
focused
on
some
of
the
policy
and
advocacy
efforts.
Obviously
you
know
we're
very
excited.
You
know
the
leadership
of
Senator
Davis
with
the
s284
passage.
F
I
know
that
a
lot
of
local
government
entities
are
now
looking
at
the
Accommodations
Tax.
You
know.
Originally
the
bill
had
accommodations
and
Hospitality.
F
What
was
actually
changed
and
passed
was
allowing
for
the
a
tax
up
to
15
percent.
It
does
have
a
sunset
right
now
of
the
seven
years.
The
other
thing
that
was
added
to
the
legislation
that
will
be
required
per
ordinance.
If
you
do
decide
to
go
forth
with
the
15,
is
a
housing
impact
analysis.
I
tried
really
hard
to
say:
can
we
use
an
existing
study?
Can
we
use,
but
my
understanding
from
the
municipal,
Association
and
Josh
actually
at
the
town
of
Hilton
Head,
is
that
we
do
need
to
respond
to
those.
F
So
there
may
be
an
opportunity.
Maybe
we
need
to
update
the
Bowen
study.
These
are
all
items
that
we
at
the
housing
fund
are
I,
think
taking
into
consideration,
but
you
will
need
to
have
that
hacked
analysis
by
second
reading
of
an
ordinance
if
you
decide
to
move
forward
with
that,
and
so
we're
happy
to
help
advise
communities
about
that.
So
so
we're
in
the
process
of
looking
at
that.
F
Certainly,
you've
got
your
Regional
Housing
fund,
we'd
love
to
see
if
you
do
do
Accommodations
Tax,
that
some
of
that
goes
towards
your
dedicated
funding
for
the
future
of
the
housing
fund,
because
we
know
we
need
to
leverage
those
resources.
The
three
million
dollar
budget
item
did
get
passed.
I
know
Brad
has
been
working
with
the
senator
Davis
staff
on
when
that
would
come
through.
F
So
that
would
add
to
the
commitment
that
each
of
you
have
put
in
place
for
the
housing
fund
to
add
funding
and
I'll
go
into
more
detail,
but
we
had
over
seven
million
dollars
in
initial
request,
so
the
2
million
that
we
have
for
this
year,
in
addition
to
leveraging
community
work,
those
that
three
million
will
be
helpful
for
other
projects
from
a
state
Housing
Finance
position.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
this.
When
I
go
into
project
pipeline,
our
state
Housing
Authority
had
paused
tax
credits
for
2023.
F
So
if
you
haven't
heard
from
your
constituents,
I'm
sure
you
will
David
Bennett
and
others
who
are
trying
to
do
tax
credit
projects
in
the
region
were
not
able
to
submit
for
2023.
what
happened.
Was
there
were
projects
previously
approved
through
State
housing?
You
know,
tax
credits
are
one
of
our
number
one
tools
and
that
they're
trying
to
make
sure
that
those
deals
are
complete
and
have
the
full
funding
because
of
construction
cost
increases,
labor
cost
increases,
and
so
they
did
have
a
workshop
a
couple
weeks
ago.
F
They
are
going
to
have
a
quicker
round
this
year.
So,
but
there
are
some
questions
about
the
qualified
allocation
plan
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
may
mean
for
this
region,
in
particular
with
the
point
system.
So
we
definitely
are
keeping
our
eye
on
that,
but
the
2023
round
did
not
happen,
which
means
projects
that
may
have
been
planned
for
this
round
would
be
delayed.
So
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
sense
of
that
that
advocacy
effort,
so
the
other
thing
we're
looking
at
is
any
other
types
of
barriers.
F
Obviously
we
need
State.
Housing
is
one
in
the
community
and
then
we're
also
working
with
local
developers.
There's
a
lot
of
developers
that
have
met
with
with
the
Brad
about
land
that
they
have
that
they
might
want
to
offer
for
affordable
housing.
They
may
have
a
project
they
want
to
try
to
develop.
F
So
there's
a
lot
of
technical
assistance
happening
with
developers
that
may
not
be
as
experienced,
and
some
of
the
ideas
we're
talking
about
is
hosting
a
housing
Symposium
hosting
some
educational
opportunities
for
some
of
those
folks
that
may
not
be
as
Savvy
in
affordable
housing
development,
but
have
land
opportunities.
F
So
this
is
the
letters
of
intent,
so
we
did
launch
a
letter
of
intent.
The
goal
of
that
was
we
met
with
lots
of
people
who
said
they
had
projects,
but
you
don't
really
have
a
project
until
you
actually
have
an
application
and
you
apply
for
funding,
and
so
we
went
ahead
and
launched
the
letter
of
intent.
I
know
Brad
mentioned
to
that
to
you
before
we
had
about
seven
developers
respond
to
the
letter
of
intent,
a
7.7
million
dollars
in
initial
requests.
F
F
So
once
we
got
the
letters
of
intent,
we
did
a
threshold
criteria
and
I'm
going
to
share
with
you
that
in
your
packet
to
see
if
they
were
eligible
and
if
they
were
ready
to
go,
and
so
those
five
projects
are
now
an
underwriting
about
a
total
of
87
million
dollars
in
Project
costs,
so
the
7
million
that
they're
requesting
and
then
of
course,
leveraging
those
and
about
296
units
you'll,
see
that
fourth
bullet,
which
is
three
of
those
projects,
are
tax
credit
projects,
which
means
they
could
be
asking
for
grant
money.
F
They
could
be
asking
for
subsidy,
they
could
be.
It
could
be
a
longer
term
for
repayment.
Most
of
these
tax
credits
go
for
20
years,
which
means
we
may
not
see
the
money
come
back
immediately.
So
when
we
talk
about
revolving
the
housing
fund,
it's
gonna.
It
could
get
a
little
bit
more
difficult
for
those
particular
projects,
and
so
that's
what
the
committee
and
the
board
is
analyzing.
When
would
we
do
subsidy
and
leave
the
money
in
the
project
for
a
long
period
of
time?
When
would
we
look
for
it
to
revolve?
F
Those
are
all
a
part
of
the
analysis,
so
you
can
see
the
amount
of
the
range
that
projects
were
requested,
I'm
going
to
show
you
a
map
of
where
they're
represented
in
just
a
second.
You
know
various
incomes
and
both
for-profit,
non-profit
and
again,
as
I
mentioned
they're,
currently
in
underwriting
right
now,
of
course,
we
are
beholden
to
when
they
submit
their
information
to
us,
as
you
all
know,
so
the
longer
that
they
delay
giving
us
the
information
the
longer
it
takes
us
to
underwrite
the
project.
F
So
these
are
the
ones
that
are
in
underwriting
this.
These
are
the
locations
and
again
a
couple
of
those
developers
that
have
not
submitted
more
application.
Materials
are
in
technical
assistance,
so
we've
got
a
couple
developers,
one
in
Jasper
that
was
initially
interested
is
still
working
with
Brad
on
a
potential
project.
So
there's
a
couple
other
projects
that
may
not
be
listed
here
that
we
might
be
working
with
but
have
not
submitted
a
full
application.
F
This
is
what
we
call
our
threshold
criteria.
So
the
first
thing
we
look
at
from
a
score
of
five
three
one
and
if
it's
an
exception
to
policy,
is
these
items?
Obviously
we
take
all
this
from
the
Beaufort
Jasper
housing
fund
study.
When
we're
trying
to
prioritize,
we
look
at
not
only
what
the
Ami
they're
serving
obviously
their
development
experience.
Is
the
project
really
ready?
Do
they
have
the
entitlements
that
they
need
to
move
forward?
Obviously,
if
they
don't
have
the
right
zoning
that
project
could
take
longer.
F
F
What
type
of
guarantees
they
have
and,
of
course
we
want
to
see
where
are
they
actually
going
to
be
located
in
the
community
and
is
essentially
located
that
it
could
really
serve
the
region?
So
those
are
the
the
types
of
things
once
we
evaluate
that
we
ask
invite
them
for
a
full
application,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
process.
Here
of
what
we
went
through,
we
did
a
letter
of
intent.
Did
they
meet
this
high
level
threshold
criteria
here
on
the
right?
Are
they
ready
to
go?
F
Do
they
need
more
technical
assistance,
so
they
may
not
be
ready
now,
but
they
need
to
work
with
us
or
a
development
partner
to
get
them
ready,
a
full
application
which
would
go
to
underwriting
with
Community
works.
The
loan
committee
would
review
that
present
to
the
board
on
the
Beaufort
Jasper
Housing
Trust
board.
The
board
approves
if
we're
going
to
fund
it,
there'll
be
a
loan
agreement.
A
promissory
note
agreed
agreements
you're
all
familiar
with
those.
Of
course
we
have
to
monitor
the
project
and,
of
course,
we
hope
to
get
the
money
back.
F
So
that's
kind
of
the
high
level
process
mayor
that
would
be
a
part
of
that
threshold.
Review
criteria
so
ongoing
Outreach
we
mentioned
we're
trying
to
build
pipeline.
We're
inviting
other
development
Partners
to
the
region
as
well.
Homes
of
Hope
is
a
developer.
That's
looking
at
some
Pro,
some
opportunities
in
Beaufort
County
and
the
city.
F
We've
talked
with
other
developers
who
are
interested
Humanities
Foundation
that
may
not
be
located
in
the
region,
but
they're
developers
in
in
South
Carolina,
so
just
oops
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
a
variety
of
projects
underway
or
in
conversations,
but
no
necessarily
real
project
at
this
time.
So
we
know
developing.
That
pipeline
is
super
important.
F
We
are
working
on
with
the
chamber
and
the
Community
Foundation,
the
Low
Country
on
maybe
doing
a
housing
forum,
and
so
that's
something
that
the
Community
Foundation
has
reached
out
to
us
about
about,
maybe
hosting
something
to
get
more
folks
educated
on
affordable
housing,
so
more
Outreach
and
engagement,
and
then,
of
course,
we're
still
working
with
State
housing
and
some
other
partners.
So
a
lot
going
on
a
lot
of
sausage
being
made
as
I
would
say
no
shovels
in
the
ground
yet,
but
we're
getting
closer.
So
we're
super
excited
about
that.
F
But
I
will
pause
there
mayor
for
questions
as
well
as
the
team
here
and,
of
course,
as
Wendy
and
Vicki
mentioned,
we
have
several
other
board
members
here
and
also
the
CEO
of
community
work
story.
Is
here
as
well
great.
A
Thank
you
all
for
a
very
thorough
presentation,
I
think,
there's
probably
a
lot
of
questions
so
I'd
like
to
start
with
the
board,
so
local
board
members,
everybody
up
here
and
also
there's
a
number
of
board
members
sitting
out
there.
So
please,
if
you
any
of
the
board
members
and
then
when
we
get
to
the
public,
if
you
have
a
question,
just
raise
your
hand
and
come
up
to
the
podium,
so
everybody
gets
on
film
and
we
have
a
record
of
everything
today.
I
I
I
A
There's
a
I
think
it's
should
be
on
the
soloco
tabs
on
the
website,
but
we
all
agreed
and
there's
a
10-year
schedule
of
payouts
for
each
of
the
eight
jurisdictions.
Okay,
I'm
sure
we
could
dig
that
up.
I'm,
not
sure
it's.
F
I
D
Just
such
a
few
questions,
I
guess:
I
love
the
breakdown,
I
love
to
see
the
Committees.
When
you
have
your
chairs
and
co-chairs,
how
do
y'all
meet
y'all
meet
as
a
board
to
discuss
what
each
of
y'all
are
doing?
I
mean
I,
guess
the
most
important
thing
right
now
is
the
lint,
the
development
and
funding.
So
you
have
two
people
that
are
chair
and
Coach
here.
How
do
you
interact
with
the
rest
of
the
board.
G
G
The
regular
committees
have
they.
They
are
scheduled
to
meet
in
the
what
was
the
off
Minds
before
we
started
doing
Zoom
board
meetings
and
all
of
them
have
met
once
and
some
of
the
Committees
are
not
going
to
need
to
meet
that.
Often,
for
example,
governance,
which
has
met
a
lot
to
begin
things,
but
they
may
not
need
to
meet
monthly.
The
committee
that
you
just
mentioned
the
development
committee.
J
D
F
Them
finance
and
the
underwriting
and
finance
project
committee
is
is
different,
so
that
is
the
underwriting
committee,
and
that
is
actually
they
meet
on
an
ongoing
basis
when
we
have
applications
and
those
projects
are
brought
to
the
board
for
evaluation
and
so
right
now
all
those
letters
of
intent
were
brought
to
the
board
of
directors.
F
K
You
know
figure
out
which,
which
ones
we
want
to
fund
or
prioritize
the
funding
of
those
and
I'm
actually
chatting
a
couple
times
a
week
with
the
community
Works
underwriting
staff
who's
actually
doing
the
the
heavy
lifting.
If
you
will
they're
putting
together
the
package
analyzing,
you
know
the
criteria
that
we
set
off
and
creating
a
basically
memo
for
an
approval,
so
I'm
I'm
chatting
with
them
pretty
much
during
the
entire
process.
D
F
D
K
Together
also
part
of
our
budget
is
to
do
a
instead
of
an
asset
mapping
for
the
services
we're
actually
going
to
hire
an
appraiser
slash,
Market
study
firm
to
give
us
a
Beaufort
Jasper,
look
on
all
what
is
either
affordable,
housing
through
a
HUD
program,
a
tax
credit
program
and
or
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing,
so
Class,
C
and
D.
You
know
perhaps
mobile
home
park
thanks.
K
So
we
are,
you
know
in
in
the
throes
of
gathering
that
information,
okay,.
K
D
D
L
I've
got
two
things:
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we
have
an
understanding
as
to
what
other
what's
happening
throughout
the
communities
in
terms
of
Housing
and
have
a
full
inventory
of
that,
because
that's
going
to
tell
us
where
we
need
to
go
and
how
we
need
to
push
things
forward.
L
That's
something
I've
asked
Our
Town
staff
to
keep
a
track
on
not
just
on
Hilton
Head,
but
also
around
the
community
as
well,
because
that's
most
important
to
make
certain
that
we're
not
oversaturating
when
that
time
comes
we're
not
even
close
to
that.
Now.
The
second
one.
It's
a
simple
question,
but
it's
going
to
Warrant
a
lot
more
conversation
from
the
municipalities
on
284.
L
F
On
the
housing
impact
analysis,
I'm,
actually
working
on
the
town
of
Hilton
Head
one,
as
you
probably
know
mayor,
but
yes,
one
of
the
things
that
we
wanted
to
see
is
if
we
could
do
a
regional
one,
because,
as
you
know,
impact
study
could
be
ten
thousand
dollar
for
each
of
you
right,
and
so
that
was
one
question
that
we
had
for
the
municipal
Association.
B
F
Working
with
the
Home
Builders
Association
on
those
questions
that
are
in
the
legislation
because
they're
the
ones
that
put
the
legis
the
language
in
there
to
go
into
the
the
detail
of
development
cost.
So
I
think
that
we
just
need
to
get
some
more
answers
for
for
that.
But
it
does
have
to
happen
before
second
reading.
L
Right,
I,
just
I,
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
take
a
look
at
additional
funding
for
the
authority
to
make
certain
that
that
the
cash
is
there
right,
because
there's
so
many
requests
that
are
coming
through.
If
there's
an
opportunity
to
to
increase
that
from
the
municipality
standpoint,
that
would
be
very
beneficial.
Now
again,
it
is
you
know
a
lot
of
conversation
from
the
individual
municipality.
F
G
F
Be
it's
specific
to
the
language
and
the
legislation,
so
I
think
my
understanding
is
to
literally
check
each
box
that
you've
responded
to
that
that
area
and
recognizing
that
you
know,
land
costs
have
to
be
associated
with
that.
The
only
the
only
concern
I
have
about
each
government
entity
being
able
to
do
it
as
a
regional
is
your
land
costs
may
be
different
than
Bluffton
may
be
different
than
city
of
Beaufort,
or
your
permitting
fees
or
your.
So
there's
some
there's
some
intricacies
in
there
that
we're
hoping
could
generalize
right.
L
And
I'm
stretching
a
little
bit
further
than
probably
what
the
intent
is.
But
if
there
is
that
opportunity-
maybe
not
now,
but
to
have
it
rewarded
in
the
future.
To
for
the
municipalities
to
put
funding.
A
B
As
a
follow-up
to
that
question
that
the
mayor
had
regarding
the
housing
analysis,
time
is
of
the
essence,
of
course,
and
I
know
you
realize
that
to
get
this
analysis
done
and
who
would
you
have
to
get
approval
to
refresh
the
Boeing
report
because
it
was
excellent
report,
but
it
is
old,
yeah.
F
Yeah
I
think
I
think
we
talked
to
them
charge
to
update
it
and
to
determine
what
the
timeline
of
that
would
be.
Obviously
we'd
be
looking
at.
You
know,
hopefully
less
than
the
time
it
took
to
do
the
original
one,
since
we
had
a
lot
of
the
Baseline
there,
but
that
was
kind
of
the
idea
that
we
brought
up
at
the
last
board
meeting,
which
was
just
last
week
and.
B
F
G
J
I
I
hear
you
saying
that
you're
talking
developers
about
certain
areas
and
all
that,
what's
the
connect
between
that
and
the
planning
commissions
of
all
the
different
entities,
I
mean
you
could
be
planning
something
and
it's
not
going
to
fit
into
the
Planning
Commission.
Do
you
have
a
free
warning
so.
F
Part
of
that
that
threshold
criteria-
that's
a
great
question-
is
you
know
if
the
project
is
ready
to
go,
and
so
part
of
it
is
looking
at
the
permitting
zoning
fees,
the
planning
to
make
sure
that
the
project
is
in
line
with
whatever
the
local
government
entities,
Planning
and
Zoning
requirements
are
so
they
they
either
are
coming
to
us
because
and
they
already
have
those
entitlements
or
they're
early
early
on
looking
at
a
piece
of
dirt
and
we're
connecting
them
like.
F
F
I
am,
and
I
am
not
going
to
the
Planning
Commission,
but
I
know
Brad
has
been
meeting
with
different
folks
and
and
developers
are
attending,
but
and
if
there
are
certain
meetings
that
you
think
we
should
be
at,
that
would
be
really
helpful
if
you
know
you're,
if
you're
working
with
someone
in
particular
that
would
be
helpful
for
us
as
well.
Well,.
J
J
F
Those
no
it's
a
great
point.
We
do
need
to
make
sure
that
these
things
that
you're,
you
know
it's
eligible
to
even
build
like
you
said.
If
it's
a
multi-family,
it
does
align
with
the
zoning
or
if
it's
single
family,
it
aligns
with
the
zoning
and
also
I,
think
those
developers
would
be
coming
to
you
to
probably
say
hey.
Could
we
have
density
or
can
we
have
this
or
they're,
usually
asking
for
permission
for
something
right,
right,
awesome.
C
Imagine
just
can
you
correct
on
that?
For
example,
we've
had
a
few
that
I've
met
with,
for
example,
a
Bluffton
land
owner
of
that
approached
us
and
I
wanted
to
find
out
more
about
the
Housing
Trust,
and
so
he
just
again
have
the
property
there
and
I.
Think
at
this
point,
he's
been
in
conversation
with
the
planning
department
just
to
set
up
that
initial
meeting,
to
figure
out
what's
feasible
for
that
property
or
not.
J
D
Maybe
just
what
Brad
just
said
that
I
think
it
just
trying
to
keep
everyone
on
the
same
Loop
you
need
to
make
that
call
I!
Think
it's
you.
It
might
be
the
board.
You
need
to
make
that
call
to
Heather.
If
it's
Bluffton
and
say
hey
heads
up
this
guy
came
to
us
and
I
kind
of
look
over
here
and
I.
Don't
see
that
a
light
bulb
went
off.
A
A
Do
we
have
that
list?
Can
you
give
us
because
we're
all
representing
the
jurisdictions,
and
it
may
go
back
to
Mr,
Kemp's
question?
We
knew
who
they
were
well.
We
could
understand
what
stage
if
they
have
met
the
permitting
and
they've
approached
these
us
as
jurisdictions.
Are
you
able
to
publish
who
these
seven
people
are.
F
We
can
send
them
to
you.
Yes,
I
think
we're
a
little
bit
cautious
of
when
they're
in
underwriting.
You
know
to
be
super
public
about
their
information
and
their
resource,
but
I
think
you
all,
as
Representatives
could
see
who
those
are
I
mean:
Commonwealth,
wota,
Cooper,
David,
Bennett
and
Willie
Cohen
and.
F
A
Number
of
units
exactly
they're,
all
the
other
questions
I
had
who
they
are
a
description
of
what
their
project
is.
A
A
H
Yeah
mm-hmm
thanks
for
a
good
presentation
by
the
whole
team.
This
morning,
you
know
initially,
when
we
were
standing
up.
The
trust
I
think
the
idea
from
a
an
inducement
mechanism
was
that
it
would
be
a
short-term
Bridge,
low
interest,
inpatient
revolving
Loan
Fund
to
sort
of
fill
that
hole
to
get
folks
out
of
the
ground.
H
But
my
understanding
sort
of
word
on
the
street
sort
of
outside
looking
in
is
that
that's,
maybe
not
what
a
lot
of
the
folks
that
are
trying
to
get
housing
out
of
the
ground
need
right
now
they
either
need
a
direct
sort
of
subsidy
to
help.
You
know
with
some
kind
of
incentive,
whether
it's
impact
fees
or
development
fees,
or
they
need
a
longer
term,
inpatient
or
patient
funding
right
at
a
lower
interest
rate.
H
Given
what
credit
markets
are
looking
like
right
now,
so
those
subsidies
or
those
longer
term
financing
schemes,
I
think,
are
a
little
different
than
the
initial
sort
of
program
intent
of
the
trust.
How
does
the
board
sort
of
anticipate
you
know
weighing
through
what
we
do,
because,
obviously
we
we
created
and
I
think
I've
heard
it
sort
of
peppered
throughout
the
presentation?
There's
a
concern
about.
We
have
a
finite
amount
of
money
with
a
limited
sort
of
annual
funding
stream.
G
Now
it's
a
combination
of
things.
One
issue
is,
as
I
said
earlier,
it's
basically
tax
credit
deals
that
are
providing
affordable
housing
in
both
counties.
G
We
are
talking
to
at
the
largest
home
builder
in
the
state
right
for
affordable
housing,
which
is
a
possibility,
and
that
is
a
type
of
entity
that
would
actually
be
borrowing
money
on
a
shorter
term
basis,
with
the
tax
credits
to
make
the
numbers,
work
and
I'm
sure
Tony
could
give
you
a
big
big
lesson
on
this.
G
Wherever
they
have
gaps,
they
can't
afford
to
pay
interest
on
it
and
make
the
numbers
still
work.
So
then
we
look
at
the
situation.
Okay,
who
is
building
affordable
housing?
Currently,
because,
if
we're
in
the
business
of
helping
affordable
housing
be
created,
we
need
to
be
able
to
work
with
those
that
are
right
now
doing
it
in
anticipation
of
having
more
different
types
of
entities,
building
the
housing.
G
So
in
that
scenario,
right
now
for
year,
one
we
had
about
2
million
from
arva
and
a
part
of
that
goes
to
community
works,
of
course,
because
they're
basically
are
operating
end
of
things
and
then
we
were
able
Senator
Davis
was
able
to
give
us
three
million
dollars
from
the
state
which
would
come,
probably
October
or
November
we're
going
to
be
constantly
working
on
that
stuff.
We
got
a
lot
more
work
to
do
with
the
Housing
Authority
with
the
state,
but
basically
we're
looking
at
what
is
happening
now
and
how
can
we
expedite
it.
F
F
The
7.7
million
you
know
could
be
between
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
committee
works
could
be
leveraged
right.
So
then,
what
the
committee
would
do-
and
you
know
Tony-
could
speak
to
this-
obviously
is
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
use
500
000
and
put
it
in
a
loan,
but
to
make
this
deal
happen
because
we
want
it
to
happen,
we
may
leave
in
half
a
million
dollars.
F
We'd
have
to
make
that
decision
and
bring
it
to
the
board
to
evaluate
you
know
that
particular
project
of
how
much
subsidy
we
would
consider,
but
the
benefit
of
increasing
the
fund.
The
three
million
that
this
that
the
senator
was
able
to
get
would
allow
a
little
bit
more
flexibility,
so
the
board
will
underride
it
based
on
what?
How
much
can
we
revolve
and
still
make
the
project
feasible
and
happen
and
how
much
needs
to
stay
in
their
project,
and
so
that
is
part
of
the
discussion.
F
I
think
what
a
couple
of
the
concerns
were,
for
example,
like
in
long-term
goals,
is
rental
subsidy
things
like
that
that
we'll
never
see
again
down
payment
assistance.
Things
like
that,
maybe
funds
that
would
be
should
be
pure
subsidy,
but
for
these
projects,
how
do
we
align
the
debt
with
some
subsidy
to
make
the
project
feasible?
So
that
would
be
a
part
of
the
analysis.
L
I
I
mayor
brought
up
something
really
important.
That
I
think
needs
to
be
a
big
part
of
this
conversation.
L
That's
capital
markets
in
how
it's
driving
the
the
opportunities
that
are
currently
presenting
themselves
and
if
the
funding
is
staying
true
or
if
it's
starting
to
dry
up
or
whatever
we're
seeing
because
we're
we're
in
a
very
interesting
time
within
Capital
markets
right
now-
and
it
is
a
big
driver
as
to
what
we're
going
to
see
in
the
future,
so
I
think
that,
as
you
all
move
forward,
having
some
kind
of
a
thumb
on
that
and
how
it's
affecting
the
projects
and
Reporting
letting
us
know
letting
the
community
know
how
that's
that's,
working
is
going
to
be
really
important
because
that's
probably
the
biggest
driver
outside
of
the
funding
that
they
could
get
from
from
different
organizations.
L
M
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
based
on
kind
of
the
two
comments
there
I
know
when
we're
talking
about
looking
to
fund
something
that's
going
to
be
a
a
tax
credit
or
a
15-year
investment.
It's
tying
up
the
funds
for
a
long
time.
If
this
is
something
that
is
going
to
be
funded
through
tax
credits,
and
it's
only
going
to
have
a
15-year
requirement
on
it
for
affordable
affordability,
are
we
going
to
get
anything
additional
for
the
investment
we're
making?
Can
we
make
the
affordability
last
longer?
M
I
mean
some
of
the
projects,
we're
talking
doing
we're,
talking,
40
50
years
of
affordability,
but
if
we're
only
going
to
help
a
project,
that's
still
only
going
to
be
15
years,
we're
seeing
them
all
renovate
and
turn
over
to
market
rate
units.
Now
in
our
town,
because
they're
hitting
that
15-year
repayment
is
there
anything
that
we're
gaining
from
funding
these
besides
15
years
of
affordability
that
we're
seeing
now.
F
I
mean
the
minimum.
The
requirements
that
are
in
the
current
policy
is
20
years.
If
there
is
a
determination
that
soloco
money
requirement
is
going
to
be
longer,
we
can
make
that
requirement.
I,
just
don't
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
development
Community
would
respond
to
that
I
know.
Some
of
the
tax
credit
deals
are
30
years
depending
I
mean
a
lot
of
the
for-profit
folks.
Do
15
and
the
non-profits
do
30.,
but
we
could
add
additional
deed
restrictions
or
requirements
to
it.
F
M
My
it's
really
just
kind
of
going
around
the
fact
that,
like
if
we
do
a
15-year,
no
payment
loan
to
them
and
then
pretty
much.
What
they're
going
to
do
is
they're
going
to
go
from
affordable
to
non-affordable
when
they
sell
it
to
somebody
who's
going
to
run,
affordable,
they're
going
to
pay
us
back.
You.
M
G
F
The
road
probably
or
the
other
opportunities
you
guys
know
as
part
of
the
study
sort
of
in
year.
Two
and
three
was
for
us
to
start
looking
at
land
banking,
and
if
we
were
to
land
bank,
then
we
could
Brown
lease.
It
I
think
like
some
of
you
guys
are
already
doing
with
properties.
So
then
that
way
it's
in
perpetuity
and
that
way
we're
actually
offering
them
land,
plus.
Maybe
some
financing.
I
F
Think
that
was
sort
of
the
long-term
Vision
right
that
we
would
be
able
to
maintain
that
but
you're
right
that
that
is
a
that
is
one
of
our
challenges
in
terms
of
just
keeping
it
into
the
in
perpetuity.
The
other
thing
is,
one
of
a
couple
of
the
developers
are
looking
at
acquisition
and
preservation
of
existing
units,
because
we
know
that
new
construction
is
going
to
be
long
term.
It's
going
to
be
more
complicated,
but
some
developers
are
looking
at
trying
to
acquire
existing
properties,
turning
them
into
affordable
housing.
F
I
As
you
go
just
to
follow
up
on
what
John
started
and
then
Harry
from
my
point
of
view,
having
that
information
about
the
who,
what
when,
where
the
and
their
location
is
very
important
to
the
county,
because
we
don't
want
a
project
to
come
to
us
and
say:
oh
geez,
you
know
what
we
didn't
think
about
access
management
of
that
project
because
it
may
be
on
a
major
road.
You
want
it
here,
but
it
can't
be
there
because
there's
another
project
right
next
door.
I
F
F
Good
timing,
because
some
folks
are
we're
just
in
early
discussions
now
I'm,
not
saying
that
that
list
shouldn't
go
to
you
as
well,
but
I
call
them
Tire,
kickers
yeah.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
waste
your
time
or
your
staff's
time
with
Tire
kickers
until
we're
ready
to
do
that,
but
for
the
ones
that
are
ready
to
go
to
full
underwriting
I
think
you're.
That
would
be.
That
may
be
the
right
timing.
Great.
J
M
Just
leave
them
real,
quick,
I,
know,
y'all
are
took
proposals
and
you're.
Looking
at
a
lot
of
these
are
going
to
underwriting
and
doing
a
lot
of
stuff
like
that.
What
about
projects
that
may
already
be
in
progress
but
may
need
things
like
impact
fees
paid,
may
need
permit
fees
paid
to
help
offset
some
of
those
costs
as
they
move
forward.
M
It
doesn't
I
I
mean.
Is
there
the
opportunity
for
that
now
and
how
would
they
go
about
applying
for
those
things
separately
from
what
y'all
are
doing
for
like
these
15
years,
and
these
kind
of
underwriting
things
is
just
trying
to
make
sure
because
I
haven't
seen
applications
for
that
or
proposals
for
that?
Is
there
a
process
for
that
now,
county.
G
Has
a
process
I
think
this
is
named:
Chuck
Atkinson
I
think
they.
M
Can
reimburse
like
the
60
80,
but
there's
some
that
are
100?
No,
they
don't
qualify
and
even
at
80
they
only
qualify
for
two-thirds
I
think
it
is
or
50
something
like
that.
So
there's
still
the
cost,
and
and
not
just
that,
depending
on
the
number
of
units
they
only
budget
so
much
so
it
may
be
above
and
beyond
what
they
budget.
So,
if
somebody's
looking
to
do
just
10
units
somewhere
making
paying
those
impact
fees
or
paying
the
permitting
fees
or
bjwsa
capacity
fee
credits
may
help
make
some
of
those
things
work.
M
M
That
so
I'm
talking
about
not
financing
and
having
to
pay
back
an
interest.
I'm
talking
about
hey
capacity
fees
need
to
be
paid.
Is
there?
Is
there
a
program
to
allow
capacity,
fees
or
bjwsa
or
something
again,
money
that
may
not
come
back,
but
an
investment
to
see
affordable
housing
bill?
Is
there
any
way.
G
To
do
that
in
wsa,
we're
meeting
with
you
know
they
have
a
new
GM
because
that's
kind
of
an
obvious
one
to
say:
okay,
you
guys
it's
if
you
it's
time
for
you
to
play
it's
time
for
you
to
be
part
of
the
solution,
so
we
don't
have
anything
resolved
with
them.
Yet
I
don't
know
how
long
it
would
even
take,
but
we
are
working
chipping
away
at
those
kinds
of
things,
but.
F
F
We
do
the
program,
and
so,
if
that
is
the
will
of
board
in
the
board
of
Jasper,
you
know
be
for
Jasper
housing
fund.
We
could
offer
those
types
of
grants,
but
then
we
recognize
that
there,
those
will
be
quickly
heated
funds,
and
so,
if
that's
something
that
soloco
would
like
us
to
consider,
I
think
we
could
consider
that
we
just
have
to
would
then
budget.
F
M
B
C
B
H
That
can
I
sort
of
build
off
of
that
I
think
I
tend
to
agree
with
with
councilwoman
Howard,
but
it's
a
little
deeper
than
that
and
somewhere
in
this
presentation,
I
know
in
the
initial
intent
of
standing
it
up.
I
mean
y'all
are
on
the
front
lines
of
this.
H
This
housing
issue
across
the
region,
I
think
between
the
the
volunteer
board
and
then
Community
work
staff,
those
conversations
you're
having
with
developers
and
all
the
players
I
think
make
you
the
most
knowledgeable
in
the
region
on
what
are
the
barriers
and
I
think
to
that
point,
the
idea
was
that
at
some
point
the
trust
comes
back
to
the
aid
appointing
jurisdictions.
To,
let
us
know
are
there
some
regulatory
barriers
that
we
need
to
be
working
on
I
mean,
for
example,
the
city
tied
to
a
certain
Ami.
H
We
discount
your
development
fees
by
about
50
percent,
we're
working
through
a
code
and
development
process
review
right
now,
where
I
think.
If,
if
I
get
my
way,
it'll
be
zero
right,
I
mean.
Why
are
we
charging
people
to
build
housing
at
the
same
time
we're
putting
money
in
to
figure
out
all
these
creative
inducements?
So
I
guess
that's.
My
question
is:
is
there
any
sort
of
timeline
for
your
group
to
package
up
regulatory
barriers
that
each
of
the
jurisdictions
should
be
considering
changing
to
to
be
helpful
and
not
not
harmful
over
time?
Absolutely.
G
We've
started
doing
it,
we're
in
the
process
of
sending
out
a
letter
initially,
but
I've
met
with
the
county,
for
example,
to
talk
to
them
about
it.
I
haven't
met
with
the
other
jurisdictions,
yet,
okay.
H
H
My
last
comment
is
on
your
the
way
you
vet
projects
shoot
I,
just
closed
it
yeah
right
there,
the
number,
nine
geography,
how
many
municipalities
receive
a
positive
impact.
You
know
we
talked
a
little
bit
again
in
the
standing
up
of
the
organization.
H
It
wasn't
so
much
about
municipalities
getting
priority
but
but
more
along
the
lines
of
Workforce
centers,
and
that
my
understanding
is
that
good
policy
is
that
we
try
to
induce
housing
closer
to
Workforce
centers,
because
if
you
look
at
some
other
regions
that
build
housing
way
over
here
in
your
Workforce
centers
are
over
here.
It
creates
this
Transportation
heartburn
that
we're
already
dealing
with
in
other
areas,
so
is.
That
is
how
many
minutes
pouties
receive
a
positive
impact.
H
Is
it
saying
the
same
thing
that
I
am
in
terms
of
you
know
what
is
the
priority
on
Workforce,
centers
and
I,
because
I
might
suggest
modifying
that,
because
I
could
argue,
there's
some
of
Bluffton
that
is
actually
in
the
unincorporated
County.
That
would
be
considered
a
pretty
significant
Workforce
Center,
but
might
not
be
scored
that
way.
Because
of
of
your
threshold
review
the
way
your
threshold
reviews
were.
Does
that
make
sense,
yeah
yeah.
F
No
I
mean
we
are
looking
at
that
we're
looking
at
you
know,
Transportation.
You
know
location
to
your
point
that
it's
not
in
a
certain
area,
but
we
what
we
were.
What
we
didn't
want
to
do,
though,
is
negate
the
value
of
just
because
it's
in
a
rural
part
of
Jasper
County.
F
H
F
F
H
Well,
I
mean
because,
in
the
case
of
like
rural
I
mean
in
case
of
Hardeeville,
you've
got
this
really
great
sort
of
industrial
base.
That's
being
created
and
well
I
mean
girl
in
terms
of
Workforce.
That's.
F
And
then
and
then,
but
then
that
to
your
point,
then
we'll
have
to
evaluate.
Is
it
zoning
and
some
of
that?
But
we
do
have
that
as
a
as
a
Target,
because
we
also
just
want
to
make
sure
that
to
your
point
that
folks
can
get
where
they
need
to
get
to
work.
School
employment
and
things
like
that.
Yeah.
K
It
answers
you
can
change
it.
I
mean
that's
a
great
suggestion,
so
it
becomes
municipality,
slash
Workforce,
but
there
there's
also
a
you
know,
a
common
underwriting
strategy
to
do
a
capture
rate
to
know
you
know
your
census.
Data
by
you
know
really
the
right
around
the
project,
and
you
know
understanding
what
those
you
know.
The
income
strata
is,
you
know
within
one
mile
within
two
mile
within
three
mile,
but
there's
there's
many
ways
to
to
slice
it
and
to
talk
through.
K
D
I
just
finished
mine.
You've
got
your
region
sitting
right
here,
so
I
think
this
is
a
place
to
bring
and
I
think
I'm.
Looking
around.
We
have
county
level
staff,
we
have
administrators.
We
have
Town
managers
everyone's
here,
so
this
is
a
good
place
to
bring
that
as
opposed
to
going
from
place
to
place
and
spinning
your
wheels
I
think
I
mean
we
usually
have
Council
here.
I
guess:
I
want
to
I'll,
learn
more.
When
you
give
us
a
seven
I
know
we
sat
with
our
liaison.
D
The
town
sat
with
there,
liaison
I
felt
there
was
and
I,
don't
know
how
you
deal
with
yours,
but
I
felt
there
was
real,
strong
response
when
they
were
all
asking.
What
our
wishes
would
be,
what
we
would
see
I
nobody
mentioned,
tax
credits
and
I
feel
like
that's
I,
don't
know
if
we're
trying
to
hit
a
home
run
or
if
we
just
do
it
right.
A
Okay,
we
have
a
couple
of
you
got
in
trouble
with
their
hands
raised
and
from
the
board,
and
we
are
running
out
of
time
so
before
I
I
call
on
everyone,
I
think
there's
some
questions
here.
That
may
be
may
help
us
understand
once
you
get
us
who
these
projects
are.
So
like
the
mayor,
salka's
point:
if,
if
they're
all
tax
credits,
then
then
we
might
have
an
issue
we
may
not
so
I
think
we
need
to
have
that
information
and
I.
A
G
It
there
might
be
also
focusing
more
on
the
impediments.
I
mean
we
know
what
the
big
ones
are.
We
all
across
the
land,
djwsa
impact
fees
Etc,
but
from
what
I've
seen
so
far
because
of
those
impediments
other
than
the
tax
credit
guys
who
can
make
it
work
we
so
that
we
have
a
whole
bunch
of
stuff.
We
have
to
do
more
or
less.
At
the
same
time,
it's
what
I'm
saying
we
have
to
work
on
that
stuff
too.
A
My
concern
is
the
tax
credit
guys
to
get
their
points
right,
the
rural
parts
that
may
be
the
future
employment
centers.
They
just
can't
qualify,
Casper,
County,
can't
qualify
and
I'm
sure,
there's
idmc
in
places
because
of
the
way
that
tax
credit
system
is
so.
If
we
are
so
geared
to
that
side
of
it,
then
we're
going
to
limit
where
we
can.
We
can
go
with
this
I.
A
I
have
one
question
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
the
hands
raised
in.
In
the
start
it
talked
about
there's
a
couple
things
mentioned
regarding
one
second,
let
me
get
back
to
that.
F
You
know
some
of
these
multi-family
units
that
are
kind
of
naturally
affordable
rents
that
they're
trying
to
preserve
and
not
get
them
turned
into
luxury.
So
that's
what
we
mean
by
preservation,
great.
A
I
I
think
that's
great.
Now
we
I
I
saw
that
Mr,
Stewart
and
Mr
Alfieri
both
had
their
hands
up
because
we're
recording
it
will
be
preserved
better.
If
you
come
up
to
the
podium
and
talk
into
the
microphone.
K
Thank
you
very
much.
First
and
foremost,
you
know
the
the
long
dated
repayment.
Is
it
a
grant?
Is
it
a
subsidy
that
that
has
been
an
exception
in
our
underwriting
from
day
one?
You
know
we
we
talked
about
it.
You
know
basically
in
every
board
meeting
it's
it's
not
great.
It
was
basically
what
was
presented
to
us
in
in
these
packages.
K
Understand
exactly
what
you're
saying
relative
to
the
tax
credit
deals
coming
in
I.
Think
as
time
goes
on
and
other
developers
know
and
understand,
you
know
our
role
and
Mission.
We
will
see
other
deals
with
the
the
tax
credit
developers
basically
are
used
to
working
with
housing.
Trust
funds
used
to
you
know,
trying
to
find
any
and
all
soft
funds
that
they
can
get
so
that
that's
basically
what
what
came
to
us.
So
you
know
in
in
the
process.
K
We
will
continue
to
call
elongated
repayment,
either
Grant
or
a
subsidy
15
17
years
an
exception,
but
I'd,
probably
you
know,
come
back
and
and
make
a
recommendation
that
you
know
each
of
the
board
members.
Then
you
know
bring
it
to
you
all.
You
know
Rel.
You
know
before
we
before
we
do
it
before
we
commit.
K
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Okay,
we
are
over
scheduled,
but
the
last
couple
months
we
were
under
so
kind
of
the
just
real
quick
I
know.
There's
this
was
really
helpful.
I
hope
everybody
gained
something
from
this.
A
A
Addition
to
the
growth
you're
you're
already
on
it,
the
next
meeting
is
August
22nd
in
Bluffton,
I
I
feel
like
I'm
cutting
off
the
conversation
I.
If
you
don't
mind
Brad,
whoever
you
get
together
with
I'll,
put
you
on
the
agenda.
A
So
even
if
it's
only
five
minutes,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
every
question
is
exhausted
and
there
may
be
further
questions
once
you
send
us
the
information
about
who
these
projects
are,
the
the
intended
start
dates
and
and
the
more
specific
of
each
one
and
and
then
we
may
have
questions
for
you
at
the
next
meeting.
Does
that
make
sense
to
everybody?
I.
A
And
if
there
are
any
sensitive
information
that
you
want
us
to
not
publicize,
please
just
make
that
known
and
we're
all
used
to
confidentiality.
Some.
F
Clear
mayor,
you.
A
A
F
Ask
that
project
the
letter
of
intent,
start
date
and
translation
and
then
the
second
piece
which
may
be
a
little
bit
longer
mayor
soccer,
is
the
the
pipeline,
because
we
do
have
20
plus
developers
that
are
in
some
form
of
pipeline,
that
we
could
share
with
you
that
that
may
take
us
to
look,
and
that
could
be
not
as
much
information.
That's
true,
okay,
thank
you.
A
And
I
think
a
couple.
Other
points
came
up
to
add
to
that:
are
these
owner
rent
and
the
the
15-year
question
that
came
up?
How
long?
How
long
are
these
to
remain
affordable?
A
So
I
think
you
know,
there's
five
six
bullet
points
that
have
been
brought
up
here,
that
if
you
could,
rather
you
know
not
make
it
a
10-page
report,
just
something
nice
and
and
the
Top
Line
information
is
that
is
that,
okay,
with
the
board,
everybody
good
with
that,
okay
and
I'll
get
in
touch
with
the
board.
A
If
there
are
any
other
items
that
anybody
wants
to
have
on
next
month's
agenda,
just
I'll
reach
out
to
you
and
you
could
make
a
suggestion
and
we'll
get
that
put
together
in
the
next
week
or
two.
Thank
you.
Everybody
have
a
good.
