A
Engagements
respecting
others
and
their
viewpoints
in
finding
solutions
for
the
betterment
of
life
at
a
time
we're
going
to
get
all
of
us
for
even
public
comment.
Is
there
any
public
comment
pertaining
to
attend
the
items?
Here's
the
public
comments.
Public
comment
is
closed
and
we
are
on
to
Workshop
items,
starting
with
Hilton
Head
blessing
Chamber
of
Commerce
DMO
presentation,
hi
Ariana,.
C
C
Thank
you,
so
we
always
like
to
start
with
what
our
vision
and
Mission
are
for
our
efforts
going
forward
and
as
we
live
every
single
day.
So
as
a
vision,
we
have
a
welcoming
world-class
Community
embracing
nature,
culture
and
economic
vibrancy
for
residents
and
visitors,
with
a
mission
to
stimulate
the
regional
economy
while
enhancing
the
quality
of
life.
For
all.
C
Thank
you.
We
talk
a
lot
about
the
governance
component
of
our
organization
and
how
we
work
closely
with
the
town
and
all
the
staff
members
in
the
community
and
I
thought.
We
did
a
gear
slide.
That
I
think
really
shows
how
closely
tied
we
are
with
not
only
the
Town
Council,
the
town
staff,
all
the
community
and
organizations,
but
we
are
governed
as
well
by
our
board
of
directors.
We
do
have
a
contract
with
the
town
of
Bluffton.
C
We
do
an
annual
independent
audit,
there's
also
State
governance
in
terms
of
the
state
tourism
board
Turk,
which
is
their
governance,
Town
Council,
as
yourself
ASAP
committee
as
well,
which
we
were
at
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
and
then
we
are
also
an
accredited
organization
by
destinations,
International
destinations.
International
is
our
governing
body
for
tourism,
and
so
that
is
something
that
we
have
as
well,
which
is
less
than
200
dmos
in
the
country,
100
yeah.
C
C
So
when
you
look
at
occupancy
how
many
heads
were
in
beds
contributing
to
our
accommodation,
tax
collections,
so
for
the
year
of
2022
we
had,
we
ran
on
average,
a
61
occupancy
with
an
average
daily
rate
or
ADR
306
dollars
with
a
revenue
per
available
room.
So
if
you
take
all
the
rooms
available
every
single
day,
what
would
that
come
to
it's
188.80?
So,
overall,
that
was
a
really
good
performance.
When
we
look
at
how
those
are
looked
at,
we
were.
C
We
were
down
each
of
the
Year
prior
by
5.1
percent
in
revpar,
and
that
we
understand
is
up
against
an
anomaly
year
when
we
had
covid
and
people
were
kind
of
coming
in
drugs.
So
right
now
we're
looking
as
a
benchmark
back
at
2009
teen
and
really
setting
our
efforts
and
in
lens
on
what
that
2019
would
look
like
in
comparison
as
we
look
forward
to
24.
C
C
And
then,
when
we
look
at
how
many
of
those
who
visited
the
destination,
what
was
their
impact
when
they
visited
so
they
left
over
207
million
dollars
within
our
community
when
they
were
coming
here
for
tourism,
and
then
we
like
to
put
together
a
slide
that
Aggregates
all
the
revenues
generated
for
Hospitality,
local
accommodation
as
well
as
state
accommodation.
We
give
you
the
The
Five-Year
plus
base
year
here
for
you
to
see.
C
I
would
have
to
go
back
and
look
your
year,
I
just
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me,
but
we
were
actually
down
the
Year
from
the
year
prior
by
9.3
and
that's
what
actually
brought
down
our
rev
par.
So
our
occupancy
is
Right
signing
as
well.
I
will
confirm
councilman
yeah
if
it
was,
if
any
other
year
was
higher,
but
again
we're
going
off
of
coming
off
of
covered
years.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
it
wasn't
a
year
prior
might
have
been
slightly
higher.
I.
C
Don't
have
that
right
in
front
of
me
foreign,
we
look
at,
you
know,
January
through
December,
the
number
of
visitors
to
the
destination
was
431
000,
but
the
jobs
generated
from
tourism
is
2500
or
2526
and
I
love
to
look
at
that
number.
So
when
we
talk
about
what
does
tourism
do
from
the
business
side,
it
employs
our
community.
It
employs
our
neighbors.
It
employs
those
that
maybe
directly
touch
tourism
or
indirectly
touch
tourism,
because
it's
those
that
we
exchange
with
every
single
day
when
we're
at
retail
on
an
Excursion.
C
C
Work
with
the
College
of
Charleston
to
do
that
economic
impact
I'm
happy
to
dig
into
a
little
bit
further
on
the
on
the
exact
equation
of
how
he
gets
that.
But,
yes,
that
is
specific
to
Bluffton
as
a
whole.
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
not
town
of
Bluffton
specific,
but
we
are
with
Bluffton
see
for
our
website.
We
had
over
194
000
visits
with
shakes
handshakes
to
our
partners,
our
business
partners
of
over
47
000,
which
is
really
nice
to
see.
So
again.
C
Yes,
we
have
our
brick
and
mortar,
but
what
we
like
to
do
is
ensure
that
people
are
really
connecting
with
the
place
that
they're
visiting
the
most,
which
is
the
website
and
that's
kind
of
our
virtual
front
door
and
we're
making
sure
those
handshakes
are
exchanging
for
our
partners
and
it's
really
wonderful
to
see
the
year-over-year
growth
on
that
opportunity.
The
Bluffton
and
Regional
vacation
planner
fulfillment.
C
So
where
were
we
in
terms
of
those
opportunities?
So
in
2021,
the
first
book
for
the
town
of
Bluffton
was
produced.
The
original
was
a
total
of
8
000,
but
we
had
two
efforts
of
of
production
there
and
this
year
we're
at
25
000
and
we're
looking
forward
to
building
out
next
year's
book,
which
is
exciting,
and
then
we
had
over
76
000,
distributed
on
the
regional
planner.
C
So
those
events
that
were
specific
to
Bluffton
were
36
events
that
our
organization
held
and
we
had
over
1400
participants,
which
is
wonderful
to
see
and
when
we
also
break
out
who's
talking
about
Bluffton
in
the
media
and
with
our
Media
Partners
in
the
out
Market,
you
can
see
we
had
over
148
mentions
and
when
you
look
at
that,
those
impressions
are
eyeballs
that
could
see
the
the
you
know,
pieces
that
were
produced
regarding
the
town
of
Bluffton.
It
was
over
540
million,
which
equates
to
an
ad
value
of
over
397
thousand
dollars.
C
What's
so
great
about
this
is
again
we
would
never
go
out
and
purchase
that
for
397
thousand
dollars,
but
we
were
yet
people
because
of
our
relationships.
The
great
work
that
our
Communications
teams
does
to
Foster.
Those
relationships
was
able
to
ensure
that
we
had
those
mentions,
and
those
eyeballs
river
is
just
a
quick
snapshot
of
those
Awards
and
mentions
people
are
talking
about
us
again
telling
us
how
much
they
love
the
town
of
Bluffton
and
we'd
love
to
hear
that.
C
So
with
all
that
and
our
learnings
that
we
had
from
22,
how
are
we
going
to
approach
23
24
as
we
look
forward
and
I?
Think
the
one
thing
to
note
is
we're
on
the
radar
and
we
are
making
we're
bringing
the
opportunity
of
visiting
Bluffton
to
people
and
they
are
they're
very
excited
about
it.
So
our
overarching
goal
of
the
marketing
plan
is
to
drive
qualified
visitation
to
the
destination.
C
First
and
foremost,
we
want
them
not
to
just
visit
but
to
put
their
head
into
bed
for
the
evening
for
several
evenings,
and
then
we
want
to
them
to
engage
with
our
businesses
and
our
partners
here
in
the
community,
restaurants,
excursions,
retail
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
it's
very
important
that
we
tell
that
full
story
and
we
tell
that
often.
C
Who
are
we
talking
to
when
we
target
the
demographic
of
of
those
we're
looking
to
bring
into
the
destination
they're
an
affluent
traveler?
They
have
150
000
to
250
000,
plus
household
income,
they're
educated
with
53
percent
have
an
undergraduate
degree
or
higher
they
travel.
They
take
two
to
four
trips
per
year
and
they
stay
on
average
5.3
nights
this
year
they
skewed
a
bit
more
mail
in
past
I've
talked
to
you
about
the
woman
being
the
decision
maker.
C
C
So
it
was
something
we're
watching
and
we're
learning
more.
We
aren't
dramatically,
you
know,
shifting
things
at
this
point,
but
we
are
monitoring
it
and
making
sure
we
do
put
those
pieces
in
front
as
well
into
our
mix,
but
one
word
marketing
and
we're
marketing
to
both
men
and
women
in
the
household.
We
will
be
talking
to
them
about
these
six
top
Pockets
top
topics.
Excuse
me
a
tongue
twister
for
a
Tuesday.
C
C
With
that
approach,
the
strategies
that
will
take
us
to
ensure
that
we
are
talking
about
those
pieces
in
depth
are
these
five
strategies
that
we
have
listed
here.
We
will
work
to
build
brand
awareness
and
support
qualified
visitation
to
the
destination
amongst
Target
out
markets.
So
when
we
look
to
cast
the
net
of
qualified
visitors
and
we're
looking
for
that
specific
demographic,
we
want
to
talk
about
those
six
key
areas
of
Interest.
C
We
don't
just
cast
a
net
willy-nilly
and
throw
it
out
there
and
hope
we
catch
when
we're
pulling
them
through
the
funnel
of
thought
process.
When
they're
considering
travel,
we
really
look
at
who
has
a
propensity
in
key
markets
that
we
know
one
can
drive
here.
Two
can
get
here
on
an
airplane.
Have
the
household
income
we're
looking
for
so
we're
really
targeting
those
Outreach
efforts
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
only
getting
the
the
consumer
that
we're
looking
for,
but
also
using
our
budget
wisely.
C
So
we
want
to
drive
deeper,
Discovery
and
exploration
of
the
destination
with
storytelling
and
and
efforts
revolving
around
those
key
attributes.
So
as
you've
seen
initial
efforts
around
that
deeper
storytelling,
we
will
continue
those
efforts
working
very
closely
with
many
of
these
town
of
Bluffton
community
members,
where
we're
really
diving
deep
into
not
just
the
history
but
really
the
emotional
side
of.
Why
do
you
love
the
town
of
Bluffton?
What
brought
you
here?
How
long
have
you
been
here?
Why
did
you
ensure
that
your
business
is
here
year
after
year
and
telling
that
story?
C
So
we
will
continue
to
tell
those
on
many
different
platforms,
which
will
be
exciting
and
we'll
use
a
different
mix
of
targeted
methods
to
identify
reach
most
qualified
users,
which
we
just
talked
about
and
create
an
understanding
and
respect
for
the
delicate
ecosystem
of
the
destination,
so
not
just
the
May
River
but
ensuring
our
environment
going
forward
as
a
whole.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
when
people
come
to
the
town
of
Bluffton,
they
respect
the
Town
Bluff
and
they
understand
the
importance
of
the
May
River.
C
C
Foreign,
so
this
slide
I
thought
was
really
helpful
in
showing
the
breadth
of
different
tools
we
have
in
our
tool
kit.
So
we
like
to
call
this.
The
travel
journey
and
we've
spoken
at
length
and
over
different
conversations
about
today's
traveler
is
much
different
than
yesterday's
traveler
and
that
being
said,
we
need
to
ensure
that
we
have
an
always-on
approach,
that
as
a
consumer
ourselves,
we
know
that
our
phone
is
ringing
someone's
talking
to
us
the
TV's
on
the
radio's.
C
Let's,
let's
do
this
I
want
to
make
a
decision
on
on
travel
for
our
family
and
that's
why
you
see
this
wheel
here
and
this
approach
that
we
take
in
different
areas
of
travel
when
it
comes
to
decision
making
so
search
engine
marketing.
It's
all
the
ads
that
you
see
in
the
out
Market
that
are
trying
to
get
your
attention
with
beautiful
pictures
and
imagery
and
copy
to
book.
Now
we
talked
about
the
meetings
and
group
segments
so
being
relevant
when
meetings
and
groups
are
being
booked
both
domestically
and
internationally.
C
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
beating
that
drum
and
making
sure
that
groups
know
that
this
is
a
wonderful
place
to
have
to
host
their
group
and
add
on
a
day
to
the
front
or
to
the
back
end
of
their
trip.
We
want
to
research
and
survey.
We
are
constantly
going
out
and
making
sure
that
people
are
hearing
about
us
knowing
that
we're
here.
What
did
they
do
while
they
were
here,
and
so
we
have
placed
those
opportunities
throughout
the
travel
Journey,
so
we're
constantly
engaging
them.
C
So
one
of
the
greatest
things
about
being
omnipresent,
if
you
will
is
you,
can
use
your
website
as
a
home
base,
but
when
you
send
an
email
that
has
a
link
in
it
or
you
have
a
social
media
platform
that
has
not
only
your
efforts
on
it,
but
it
has
those
that
have
enjoyed
the
destination
already
and
that's
being
placed
on
the
social
media
platforms
and
it's
driving
them
back
to
the
website.
That
is
people
getting
that
confirmation
that
this
is
a
wonderful
place.
I
can
tell
you
all
day
long.
C
The
town
of
Bluffton
is
great,
but
adding
in
the
those
that
have
visited
and
using
their
their
pictures
to
help
tell
that
story
has
really
helped
our
social
media
grow
year
over
year,
and
it's
done
really
well
for
us.
We've
talked
about
the
book
and
that's
been
a
wonderful
piece
for
us
to
get
into
someone's
hand
and
use
it
as
that
piece
of
real
estate
to
be
a
constant
reminder
and
the
public
relations
piece
that
has
worked
really
hard
for
us
well
beyond
the
budgets
that
we
have
to
extend,
but
back
to
the
media
Partnerships.
C
This
is
one
that
we
have
grown
year
over
year.
We
have
seen
ourselves
in
Southern,
Living
and
gardening
gun,
and
we
will
continue
to
have
those
efforts
and
build
upon
the
awareness
that
we
have
built
within
those
channels,
but
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
reach
a
little
further
to
reach
different
communities
that
might
be
looking
for
travel
into
the
town
of
Bluffton.
C
And
so
we've
worked
very
closely
with
different
community
members
to
identify
and
understand
how
we
can
best
reach
and
communicate
different
things
that
are
happening
within
this
community
and
so
we'll
be
looking
Beyond
gardening
gun
to
channels
such
as
essence
or
ebony.
Also
we're
exploring
black
southern
belle
and
we're
also
looking
into
the
Latino
audience
and
that
audience
transacts
a
little
bit
differently
in
terms
of
maybe
not
a
particular
publication,
but
might
be
more
on
the
social
media
channels.
C
So
again,
you're
going
to
see
that
our
programming
for
this
year
will
talk
to
the
masses
through
a
gardening
gun
or
a
travel
and
Leisure
or
Southern
Living,
but
we'll
also
look
to
work
within
Community
specific
messaging
to
the
channels
that
we
just
spoke
about,
which
will
be
very
exciting.
As
we
work
to
get
a
little
closer
to
those
efforts.
C
But
when
we're
always
in
process
of
being
always
on,
we
want
to
ensure
that
we're
checking
ourselves
continually
continuously.
So
we
have
efforts
in
place
beyond
our
contract
that
we
report
monthly
quarterly,
as
well
as
annually
to
the
town
and
the
town
staff,
and
we
are
constantly
checking
and
monitoring
and
based
on
our
things,
many
of
them
being
digital.
C
However,
based
on
conversations
with
Town
staff,
today
we
were
hoping
to
readjust
that
to
380
to
400
000,
based
on
our
recent
collections
on
the
atax
side
of
things
and
we'll
rethink
the
forecast
of
where
that
will
be
so
just
a
slight
adjustment.
What
does
that
mean
for
our
programming?
The
programming
would
not
nothing
would
be
removed,
but
we
would
just
reduce
our
efforts
within
the
categories
that
we
just
spoke
about.
C
So
if
I
was
going
to
do
a
hundred
dollar
buy
I
would
do
a
75
dollar
buy
with
something
today
based
on
those
new
projections,
and
so
we
want
to
be
responsible
in
those
efforts
and
that's
why
we
bring
forth
that
small
adjustment.
Today
again,
it
was
originally
425
back
in
March
and
today
we're
anticipating
that
for
the
new
fiscal
year
being
around
380
to
400
000..
D
D
A
D
D
C
And
I
think
that
brings
up
a
good
point
of
where
we're
trying
to
diversify
that
conversation
of
who
we're
reaching
so
I
think
we
have
established
a
great
conversation
with
the
Southern
Living
readers
who
skewed
just
slightly
older,
probably
in
that
40s
50s
age.
And
then
we
have
our
gardening
gun
who's
a
little
bit
in
their
30s
and
their
40s.
C
And
then
we
have
more
of
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
the
African-American
Community
with
the
essence
and
Ebony
and
the
black
southern
belle,
and
then
we'll
reach
out
to
the
Latino
Community
as
well
again,
all
within
reason
based
on
the
new
projections.
But
we
will
continue
our
efforts
to
to
engage
those
audiences
and
make
sure
we're
telling
that
full
story
of
the
town
of
Bluffton
and
bringing
them
to
different
experiences
throughout.
C
You
do
skew
younger,
and
that
was
great
and
we
have
been
targeting
anywhere
from
35
to
55,
knowing
that
that
share
of
wallet
is,
has
a
propensity
to
spend
and
has
been
really
from,
not
just
the
media
piece,
but
also
from
those
that
have
visited
and
I'll
make
sure
that
I
share
the
economic
impact,
as
well
as
the
visitor
Professor
that
really
Define
that
breakout.
But
yes,
we
target
the
35
to
55
age
range.
A
I
appreciate
the
Heritage
tourism
and
the
galagichi,
but
I've
always
been
a
big
proponent
way
back
to
I.
Can't
even
tell
you
the
year
we
started
it
I'm
going
to
send
you
that
info,
yes,
working
on
it
on
the
Heritage
tourism
I,
think
that
hits
all
ages
all
demographics
that
you
could
promote
in
all
the
magazines,
not
just
focus
it
on
Ebony
or
whatever.
The
this.
F
A
C
A
A
A
B
So
mayor,
council,
the
other
item
that
like
chasmine
Frazier
mentioned,
was
that
she
brought
up
was
talking
about
a
way
to
incentivize
businesses
to
go
to
compostable
like
to
go
containers
and
stuff
like
that,
have
had
a
chance
to
pull
anything
additional
together
on
that.
The
focus
was
to
worry
about
what
was
actually
going
to
be
in
the
budget
presentation
for
the
neighborhood
assistance
and
that
kind
of
stuff.
B
But
if
that's
something
that
we
want
to
continue
and
investigate,
it
was
part
of
what
was
discussed
during
strategic
planning
when
we
brought
up
the
green
initiatives.
But
there
wasn't
a
majority
support
to
really
get
into
a
lot
of
that
this
year.
So
we
haven't
focused
a
lot,
but
if
it's
something
that
we
want
to
revisit,
we
can.
B
So,
just
to
remind
everybody
where
we
are
in
the
process
we're
at
our
second
budget
Workshop.
This
one
is
mostly
focused
on
CIP
I.
Do
want
to
follow
up
with
items
that
came
up
during
the
first
budget
workshop
and
that's
a
talk
about
the
neighborhood
assistance
program.
I
know
one
of
the
things
that
Council
talked
about
was
wanting
to
have
it
so
that
we
can
track
it
year
over
year.
B
Chris
and
I
had
a
conversation
afterwards,
the
next
morning
and
worked
on
some
ways
and
he
brought
up
a
very
good
what
I
thought
was
a
good
idea,
which
I
think
should
hopefully
allow
us
to
do
so.
We
already
have
several
Grant
programs
or
programs
that
we
do
that
we
track
year
to
year.
We
use
them
as
what's
called
a
signed
fund
balance.
We
have
different
categories
within
our
fund
balance
that
we
maintain
and
one
of
them
is
assigned.
B
It
means
it's
assigned
to
a
program
so
long
as
all
of
our
fund
balance
obligations
are
met.
All
our
the
council
was
set
in
place
that
we'll
keep
these
funded
at
a
certain
level
and
we'll
continue
the
programs
year
over
year.
It
doesn't
affect
anything
to
do
with
our
rating,
because
we're
not
carrying
forward
money,
we're
actually
funding
programs.
We
already
have
a
few
of
these
and
I
have
those
listed
there.
B
We
do
our
preservation
grant
that
way
that
we
started
this
year
or
a
thing
that
might
have
been
last
budget
year,
where
we
did
the
historic
preservation
Grant.
We
do
it
with
the
proactive
preservation
where,
if
we
have
to
actually
go
out
proactively
and
a
property,
that's
fallen
and
they're
allowing
to
get
derelict
and
we
need
to
repair.
We
also
do
that
with
our
tree
remediation
program
as
well,
so
we
would
look
recommend
that
we
treat
the
neighborhood
assistance
program
that
same
way
where
we
set
a
funding
level.
B
If
we
get
to
a
year
where
we
don't
expend
all
the
funds,
whether
we
want
to
allow
that
money
that
level
that
we
funded
at
to
grow,
to
follow
all
that
or
we
can
say
what
we're
recommending
to
fund
it
at-
is
to
start
it
at
four
hundred
thousand
dollars,
which
would
actually
be
two
full
years
of
funding
that
we
have
provided
in
the
past.
But
to
give
you
a
level
of
you
know
this
year
we
added
an
additional
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
there.
So
it
would
allow
us
to
do
that
four
additional
times.
B
So
if
Council
moves
a
hundred
thousand
to
a
budget
amendment
into
the
general
fund,
because
we
need
more
money
for
that
year,
the
next
year,
if
so
long
as
our
fund
balance
obligations
are
met,
we
would
bump
it
back
up
to
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
any
additional
funds
or
carry
forward
that
we
would
have.
So
we
would
look
to
keep
it
at
that.
A
level
good
I'll
keep
going
a
little
bit
and
then,
when
we
get
to,
then,
if
you
have
any
questions
I'll
between
Chris
and
I,
we
can
try
to
address
them.
B
So
with
the
new
law
that
was
passed
at
the
state
with
the
state
and
Accommodations
Tax,
we're
allowed
to
move
15
percent
of
state
and
local
Accommodations
Tax
into
affordable
housing
projects.
What
we
would
propose
to
do
is
to
do
that
for
fiscal
year
24
and,
as
you
can
see,
that
would
be
what
those
funds
would
equate
to
with
the
state
and
the
local.
B
So
it
would
be
just
short
of
four
hundred
thousand
it's
like
394
395.,
and
then
we
would
move
those
into
our
affordable
housing
Capital
project
to
support
our
affordable
housing
projects.
We
would
then
take
four
hundred
thousand
and
move
it
into
this
new
fund
to
support
the
neighborhood
assistance
that
program
to
carry
forward.
B
So
instead
of
just
moving
that
400
000
over
the
a
tax
would
allow
us
to
cover
that
for
the
first
year,
not
really
impact
either
program
with
the
new
Pro
program
that
we
have
and
then
we
would
continue
year
over
year
to
put
that
15
percent
towards
our
affordable
housing
projects
and
allow
the
neighborhood
assistance
program
to
sit
outside
of
that,
so
they're
not
dependent
on
each
other.
So
the
neighborhood
assistance
program
would
set
in
its
own
assigned
fund
balance.
B
B
Yes,
and
no
so
what
we
would
do
is
continue
the
neighborhood
assistance
program
in
the
general
fund
like
we
are
now.
We
will
continue
to
fund
it
at
the
same
level
that
is
in
there.
This
will
serve
as
almost
a
fund
balance
so
like
this
year,
wherever
right,
the
reserve
so
like
this
year,
whenever
we
ran
out
of
funds-
and
we
came
back
to
ask
and
y'all-
were
like
well
where's-
the
hundred
thousand
dollar
coming
from
in
the
future.
It
would
come
from
this.
A
B
You
would
still
have
to
do
a
budget
amendment
because
you
would
be
moving
funds
from
an
assigned
fund
balance
into
our
general
fund.
It
would
also
allow
you
all
to
be
involved
to
make
sure
that
you're
tracking
the
expenditures,
because
again
we
don't
want
to
provide
a
blank
check
to
any
fund
to
be
able
to
operate.
We
won't
count.
You
know,
want
y'all
to
be
involved
and
make
sure
you're
reviewing
to
make
sure
you're
good
with
transferring
that
money
over
and
make
sure
that
it's
going
to
support
the
way
Council
wants.
A
B
Correct
but
then
we
can
talk
about
if
we
have
that
hundred
thousand
dollars
left
over.
Do
we
want
to
raise
that
limit
from
400
to
that
amount?
The
400
would
be
the
starting
point,
but
we
know
that
would
be
there.
That
would
be
what
we
would
set
as
our
policy
to
keep
that
amount
there
year
over
year
and
it
becomes
your
reserve
in
case
you
need
it,
but
we
would
still
fund
the
neighborhood
assistance
program
in
our
regular
operating
budget
just
like
we
have
been
doing
year
over
year.
So.
B
A
B
Like
it
would
be
addressed
in
a
carryover
amendment
that
we
do
every
year
so
like,
for
example,
this
year,
when
we
carry
forward
addition,
we
had
revenues
over
expenditures
last
year,
so
we
carried
it
forward.
We
put
some
in
land
acquisition,
we
put
some
in
some
small
projects
and
most
of
it
goes
to
CIP.
What
we
would
do
is
we
would
use
funds
like
that
and
replenish
it
back
to
where
it
needs.
F
B
The
goal
and
the
reason
it
doesn't
affect
our
credit
rating,
is
because
it
goes
in
line
with
our
Reserve
policies
that
says
that
we're
going
to
maintain
our
emergency
Reserve
we're
going
to
maintain
our
Capital,
our
are
not
Capital
project,
Capital,
Equipment
reserve
and
so
long
those
are
being
met.
Then
we
replenish
all
these
other
funds.
If
we
get
into
an
emergency
a
situation
where
we
run
out
of
there's
no
fund
balance,
we
don't
need
to
be
funding
additional.
G
A
B
It's
it's
there,
which
we
as
needed.
It's
there
as
needed,
because
again
we're
we're
working
to
address
this
moving
forward,
because
we've
run
into
a
situation
we
haven't
ever
had
to
deal
with,
which
is
we
ran
out
of
money.
So
in
the
past
that
hasn't
been
the
case,
so
this
would
provide
us
that
that
buffer
in
case
we
ever
need
to
go
back
and
have
those
funds
again
and
if
we
run
into
something
that's
unseen,
like
Oh,
wait,
we're
you
know,
building
stops,
we
run
into
a
recession.
We
still
have
that
400
000.
B
D
D
Maybe
it
could
start
with
the
affordable
housing
committee,
but
we
probably
need
some
help
from
staff
to
give,
because
we
don't
know
what
all
the
numbers
are
out
there
today,
but
I
think
we
need
to
revisit
that
and
that's
probably
part
of
the
issue
to
help
deplete
These
funds.
A
little
quicker
too,
you
know
because
the
spending
is
I'd.
B
A
G
A
I
think
maybe
there's
some
incentives
with
those
companies.
Like
one
issue
with
say
the
shutters
was
the
guy
would
do
the
roof,
but
he
had
to
pay
his
business
license.
Based
off
of
what
he's
donating,
I
mean.
There's
some
there's
some
things
we
could
look
to
and
to
help
these
people
who
want
to
donate
their
time,
but
then
they
they
have
to
pay
a
building.
Permit.
G
G
Just
say
that
was
a
bad
spot
in
roof
if
you
just
prepare
the
best
spot,
but
now
we're
repairing
the
entire
room.
So
so
they
wouldn't
get
their
call
back.
That's
so
that's
what
they
that's.
What
made
the
price
go
up
from
five
to
ten
and
then
once
we
realized
that
some
of
the
mobile
homes
were
single
wide
with
10,
but
when
it
was
a
double
wide,
it
was
15..
So
that's
what
the
numbers
change
and.
F
B
And
we've
had
a
lot
more
applicants
yeah
than
we've
had
previously
and
that's
a
that's,
a
well
good
and
bad.
It's
bad
that
we
have
so
many
that
we
have
to,
but
it
speaks
of
accolades
to
Vicki,
for
what
she's
done
to
get
people
into
the
program
and
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
right.
When
I
say
this,
I
was
looking
at
Heather
I.
Remember
we
put
in
the
fee
schedule
we
put
where
if
somebody
is
going
through
affordable
housing,
so
that
include
neighborhood
assistance,
their
fees
be
waived
yeah.
B
B
Would
be
adopted
as
part
of
the
fee
schedule
for
this
next
budget
and
we've
had
some
official
things
that
we've
done,
but
this
would
actually
put
it
in
writing
and
make
it
official
business
license
are
unique
because
there's
a
law
state
that
dictates
what
we
can
and
can't
do
permit
fees
or
things
that
we
gener
that
we
establish
that
we
can
address
good.
Thank
you
for
that.
B
B
There'll
be
mechanisms
in
place
to
make
sure
that
every
year
we
can
revisit
this
policy
to
see
how
it's
working
and
make
sure
if
it
needs
to
be
adjusted,
we
can
do
so,
but
at
least
we
will
have
something
in
place
and
we'll
have
that
reserved
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
next
year.
If
we
need
it,
we
have
it
already
built
in
place.
B
Okay,
so
we're
going
to
get
into
the
CIP
part
of
it
now
so
as
with
usual
start
off
with
the
overall
Consolidated
budget.
So
we
see
what
we're
talking
about
as
a
whole.
Before
we
get
into
a
specific
one,
as
you
can
see,
the
CIP
budget
makes
up
almost
the
largest
the
general
fund.
A
few
tenths
of
a
point
percentage
points
larger,
but
our
CIP
projects
are
about
37
percent
of
our
overall
budget.
B
So
as
we
talk
about
the
Town
Council
strategic
plan
priorities
and
our
vision
and
Mission,
we
talk
about
cips
and
then
there's
just
some
of
these
that
are
listed
here,
including
ones
that
have
come
up
numerous
times.
In
our
conversations.
Thank
you
and
then
so.
Now
we're
going
to
get
into
the
CIP
fund.
B
Already
talked
about
it
being
37
percent,
that's
where
we
also
do
our
restricted,
committed
and
assigned
to
expenditures,
and
you
can
see
it's
for
capital
projects
that
are
primary
non-recurring
in
nature,
we're
normally
single
single
items,
and
it's
anything
that
requires
a
threshold
of
5000
except
roads,
building
computer
which
are
50
000.,
so
our
guiding
documents.
Yes,
sir.
D
Will
you
have
land
acquisition,
I,
don't
know
the
appropriate
place
to
ask
this
question
to
bring
it
up.
It's
really
for
Council
and
it
made
me
think.
I.
Think
Larry
asked
a
question
once
before.
Sometime
back,
you
know
about
making
your
money
work
for
you
and
I'm
a
big
believer
in
land
acquisition
and
I
think
we
should
be
buying
land,
and
this
again
this
was
something
I
pushed
for
my
first
year
and
proud
to
do
it
and
proud
We
budgeted
it.
D
But
I
asked
the
question:
should
there
be
a
cap
at
some
point,
a
reasonable
cap
I,
don't
know
what
that
cap
would
be,
but
we
had
almost
five
million
dollars
there.
Whatever
the
number
was
staff
said
we're
going
to
move
a
million.
You
know
because
you're
trying
to
make
some
of
it
work,
we
still
got
our
buffer,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
we
would
get
to
a
place
where
we
would
put
a
cap
on
something
like
that.
D
We
can
always
come
back
the
following
year
and
increase
it,
but
otherwise
you
get
say
that
you
had
10
million
dollars
sitting
there,
your
money's,
not
working
for
you,
you
know,
so
you
get
to
a
threshold
there
where
it
may
be
seem
like
it's
unreasonable,
I,
don't
know
I'm,
throwing
that
out
for
discussion.
Well,.
A
A
B
And
Dan
and
I
chatted,
I'm,
sorry,
Catherine,
Wood
and
I
chatted
about
that
briefly,
and
you
know
it's
similar
to
the
neighborhood
assistance
program
in
that.
If
we
would
ask
what
that
number
needed
to
look
like
five
years
ago,
we
might
have
said
two:
three
million
is
plenty
now
we
would
say
two:
three
million
won't
buy
a
single
piece
of
property
on
Buckeye
and
simmonsville
that
we
may
be
interested
in.
B
So
now
is
5
million
enough
or
if
we're
interested
in
a
larger
piece
of
property,
do
we
really
need
10,
12,
15
million
dollars,
so
I
think
it's
it's
kind
of
one
of
those
things
where
if
we
want
to
as
Council
adopts
the
budget,
we
look
and
see
how
things
are
what
properties
come
up?
How
it's
being
spent
Council
may
say,
look
we're
hesitant
putting
more
money
into
it
until
we
spend
some
versus.
B
If
we
want
to
set
a
cap
which
may
you
know
if
we
and
and
I'm
good,
either
way,
because
if
we
said
just
like
the
neighborhood
assistance,
if
we
set
a
fund
amount,
we
can
always
revisit
it
year
over
year.
But
if
we
it's
really,
you
know
if
Council
starts
feeling
uncomfortable
with
putting
too
much
money
aside.
For
that
one
light
item
we
can
always
y'all
can
always
stop
that
whenever
you
want
to.
E
D
Do
I
just
think
the
mayor's
point
is
that's
I'm
with
her
that
let's
get
more
aggressive
in
that
area
and
start
I
mean
we
got
money.
Usually
the
money
rolls
over.
Let's
start
utilizing
and
targeting
we,
you
know
we
did
a
report.
Stephen
was
here,
we
did
a
a
map
and
we
had
the
town
manager
go
out
and
look
at
areas
that
we
might
be
interested
in
and
you
know
we
didn't
come
up
with
anything.
But
again
we
should
always
approach
that.
A
B
That's
correct,
that's
correct
and,
and
just
last
year
I
mean
the
we
ended
up,
not
using
the
funds
from
that
line
item.
It
got
moved
into
that
line
item,
but
we
actually
used
the
municipal
Improvement
funds.
The
one
point
the
1.2
to
buy
the
evercore
park
where,
if
we
didn't
have
those
funds
there
when
it
came
out
of
this,
so
it
had
been
down
over
a
million
too.
So
just
we
did
spend
some,
but
not
out
of
that
thought
not
well.
It
ended
up
on
paper.
We
did.
G
G
B
So
just
some
guiding
documents.
We
mentioned
some
strategic
plan,
comp
plan,
May
River
Watershed
action
plan.
All
of
our
neighborhood
plans,
you,
the
current
needs
and
available
funding.
We
have
our
Five-Year
Plan
that
we
review
and
go
through,
and
then
we
set
up
our
project
planning,
construction
and
maintenance.
B
Would
be
the
neighborhood
plans
because
we
have
butt
colony
and
we
have
Nancy
Schultz.
We
have
both
of
them
and
we're
updating
the
consumersville
plan
now
foreign.
So
here's
the
sources
of
revenues
that
we
use
as
you
can
see,
the
hospitality
tax
makes
up
about.
18
makes
up
18
and
a
half
percent.
The
Tiff
is
after
that
and
then
the
fund
balance
within
our
CIP
from
projects
that
carry
forward
year
over
year
makes
up
about
42
percent
of
that.
D
A
B
Edge
tax
is
huge
age.
Tax
is
continuing
to
grow,
as
our
population
increases
and
more
people,
as
you
heard,
from
the
amount
of
visitors
that
we
have
coming
in
they
like
to
eat,
so
our
age
tax
is
continuing
to
grow
and,
as
you
can
see,
supporting
right
now
we're
using
it
to
help
support
our
capital
projects.
As
we
talked
about
last
month,
it's
also
being
transferred
in
to
offset
some
of
our
expenses
that
goes
into
the
hospitality
portion
of
our
operating
the
town
and
we're
also
everything
left
my
mind.
B
I
apologize
I'll
get
to
it
eventually.
So,
as
we
also
talk
about
where
they're
being
expended,
these
are
the
breakdown
of
the
different
type
of
projects
that
we
have.
As
you
can
see,
the
largest
is
our
Park
projects,
followed
by
storm
water
and
sewer
projects,
and
then
there's
your
land
acquisition
number,
which
is
a
little
short
of
4
million
and
then
Economic
Development,
Road
facilities
and
so
on.
B
So,
where
are
capital
projects
taking
place?
This
is
kind
of
a
zoom
out,
so
you
can
see
the
entire
town
and
you
can
see
they
stretch
throughout
the
entire
town,
all
the
way
from
new
Riverside
all
the
way
up,
Buck
Island,
Buckwalter
and
throughout
the
town,
and
then
these
get
into
our
older
into
Old
Town,
where
we
have
streetscapes
pocket,
Parks,
sewer
projects
and
so
on,
where
it's
a
little
more
densely
populated
just
to
be
able
to
break
them
down.
So
you
they
can
be
seen
a
little
easier.
B
Go
through
a
little
some
of
these
groupings,
so
we
can
kind
of
go
through
and
see
where
we
are
with
some
of
our
capital
projects.
What
what's
going
to
be
coming
off
this
current
fiscal
year
and
then
what
we
plan
to
address
next
fiscal
year?
So
you
can
see
these
are
storm
water
and
sewer
projects.
We
have
the
Buck
Island
phase,
five,
which
was
just
awarded
we're
working
to
get
them
under
construction.
B
We
have
our
sewer
connections,
which
is
an
ongoing
policy
that
we
keep
in
place
for
anybody
that
needs
assistance
in
connecting
to
existing
sewer.
Then
we'll
have
historic
districts,
phase,
four
five
and
six,
which
will
be
one
project
together:
Bridge
streetscape
or
continuing
down
Bridge
Street
from
the
current
one
into
the
next
phase
to
design
it
comprehensive
drainage
plan
improvements,
Stony,
Crest
campground.
B
E
B
So
just
some
things
that
are
looking
to
be
done.
Hopefully,
by
the
end
of
this
month
I
mean
we
are
in
June
right
nope
into
next
month.
Before
we
change
fiscal
years
is
historic
district
phase
two
and
three
Zeke
is
out
there
working
we're
hope
hopeful
he's
going
to
be
done.
It
should
be
quick,
but
we'll
we'll
count
it
when
it's
done.
B
The
first
Bridge
streetscape,
we're
just
down
to
I,
think
the
lights
and
some
of
the
Landscaping
streetscaping
like
the
vegetation
to
be
done
and
we'll
get
that
one
wrapped
up
here
and
then
Buck
Island,
Road
drainage
improvements
and
we're
just
waiting
on
as
built.
So
we
can
sign
that
one
off
and
get
that
off
and.
A
H
H
Project
the
project
is
done,
Downstream
we're
working
with
the
apartment
complex
for
them
to
do
some
VMP
maintenance
and
we've
worked
through
giving
them
notice.
They
I'd
have
to
get
an
update
on
when
they're
scheduling
maintenance,
but
that's
happening
Downstream
over
this
next
fiscal
year,
we'll
be
monitoring.
Not
only
does
this
project
perform
as
intended
for
prevention
of
flooding,
but
does
Downstream
maintenance
improve
the
overall
drainage
area
and
then,
if
not
we're
going
to
have
to
come
back
with
another
CIP
project
in
25.
F
A
A
D
D
B
There's
a
low
area
there
well,
there's
low
end
highs
and
the
the
water
gets
across
the
other
side.
There's
a
wetland
area
for
it
to
go
down
and
that's
where
they're
working
Downstream
on
that,
because
that
gets
on
private
property
to
get
them
to
clean
up
their
side
to
make
sure
that
the
water
can
flow
efficiently
through
there.
Our
portion
makes
sure
that
it
gets
from
one
side
of
the
road
to
the
other,
faster
now
they're
working
with
the
private
landowners
to
get
it
from
that
side
of
the
road
to
the
ditch
down
near
K.
H
So
we
had
this
discussion
at
the
Buck
Island
simmonsville
neighborhood
meeting
the
initial
one,
because
folks
had
obviously
the
same
question
and
we're
really
curious
about
storm
water,
design,
calculation,
reviews
and
projects,
and
don't
you
review
that?
Well,
yes,
we
do
for
a
project,
but
when
we
can
have
four
units
on
an
acre
now
that
we've
extended
sanitary
sewer,
those
are
individual,
mobile
home
permits.
We
don't
review
those.
H
So
if
we
think
about
the
number
of
infill
that's
come
in
through
there,
we've
had
a
lot
of
impervious
surface
added
that
has
no
storm
water
control
requirements
whatsoever.
We've
got
a
couple
confounding
factors
for
sure
it
is
the
downstream
maintenance
piece.
The
upsizing
I
said
the
culverts
truly
was
just
to
move
the
water
because
dot
hadn't
upsized
the
culverts
and
they
needed
that
maintenance
and
they
wouldn't
do
it.
That's
just
to
move
it,
but
we've
got
more
going
on
out.
H
This
is
part
of
the
reason
where
the
impervious
surface
restoration
program
out
of
the
May
River
Watershed
action
plan
and
Beyond
working
with
the
school
district.
We
know
we've
got
a
lot
of
impervious
surface
with
new
Mustang
in
in
the
middle
school
there.
Where
can
we
do
some
Public
Public
Partnerships,
perhaps
get
319
grant
funding
for
restoration
projects
to
get
more
water
in
the
ground
where
we
can?
So
it's
not
even
entering
this
Wetland
system.
A
H
Well
and
we're
discussing
these
options
are
coming
through
the
neighborhood
program
updates
the
program,
the
neighborhood
plan
updates
of
what
issues
are
you
seeing
as
residents
in
the
community
that
you
want
addressed?
Obviously,
drainage
is
one
of
them,
but
then
that's
another
layer
of
bureaucracy
and
review,
and
so
there's
there's
the
give
and
take
of
it
yeah
it's
it's
not
an
easy
fix.
Unfortunately,
yeah
sir.
H
B
Them
because
he
doesn't
do
it
properly
enough
and
it's
one
of
those
things
where
we're
hesitant
to
spend
Town
funds
on
state
roads
or
because
some
of
like
some
of
simmonsville
is
not
even
in
the
town.
But
it's
one
of
those
things
where
Derek
and
I
have
had
the
conversation
where
we
just
got
there
and
start
doing
it
ourselves.
I.
E
F
F
A
B
Only
thing
that
will
come
out
of
there
once
they
finally
sign
off
on
it
is
just
the
bmps
where
they
have
the
stable,
yeah
that'll,
be
the
only
thing
that
removes
so
projects
that
we
have
planned
to
be
completed
in
fiscal
year.
2324
is
Buck
on
Timmonsville
sewer
phase,
five,
the
four
five
and
six,
as
well
as
the
president
drainage
improvements.
B
Thank
you
all
right.
So
then
we
go
into
roads
and
you
can
see.
These
are
the
ones
that
we
have
in
there,
which
is
Calhoun,
Street,
streetscape
pathway,
pedestrian
safety
improvements,
and
we
heard
Council
last
meeting
that
that's
something
they
want
to
see
us
to
work
on
at
a
higher
priority.
So
we
we
took
that
note
as
well:
War
Street
lighting,
continuing
on
ghost
roads,
Boundary
Street
streetscape,
as
well
as
wayfinding.
As
a
new
item
to
review.
A
A
B
And
we're,
and
so
we're
doing
that
along
with
our
streetscapes,
so
we're
trying
to
work
with
them
now,
so
that
when
we
dig
up
Boundary
Street
for
drainage
that
we
can
put
in
their
duck
duck
line
the
conduit
whatever
they
need.
So
they
can
then
come
back
and
underground
all
the
utilities.
And
we
can
get
all
the
power
lines
out
of
old
town.
So
that's
where
those
funds
are
going
to
go
towards.
B
A
reforestation
that
we
can
use
that
for
so
all
right,
so
projects
for
roads
that
should
be
completed
in
23
is
the
buck
on
simmonsville
sidewalks
and
lighting
they're
out
there
working
on
that
last
phase.
Now
you
can
see
JS
out
there,
because
The
Shield's
neighborhood
that
I
think
is
as
well
as
the
Boundary
Street
lighting.
Once
we
have
the
boundary
Street's
done,
we've
got
to
get
the
lighting
in
and
that
should
wrap
up
once
for
fiscal
year.
B
So
and
then
a
new
project
in
24
is
wayfinding.
I
put
a
couple
in
here
wanted
to
show
our
current
one
that
we
have
in
Old
Town,
as
well
as
what
we
have
at
Buckwalter
and
just
to
talk
about
what
the
idea
is
behind
that
really,
when
you're
looking
at
forty
thousand
dollars,
that's
not
for
the
signage
it's
to
have
somebody
come
in
and
tell
and
look
at
do
we
want
to
expand.
A
B
B
They
cleaned
it,
but
it's
starting
to
fade,
and
so
so
it's
now
like
do
we
refresh
it
and
expand
it
or
do
we
want
to
look
at?
You
know
updating
like
our
map
to
look
differently
or
do
we
want
to
put
maps
in
more
places
in
town
now
that
more
people
are
visiting
and
our
old
town
is
really
Renovations
have
kind
of
expanded.
So,
but
that's
what
that
project
consists
of,
so
it's
not
actually
putting
them
in
next
year.
B
B
So
what
we
hope
to
complete
in
fiscal
or
we
have
is
the
the
stabilization
of
Squire
Pope.
That
was
where
we
stabilized
it
so
that
we
could
do
what
we're
doing
now,
which
is
a
renovation.
We
completed
the
law
enforcement
Center
to
complete
the
exterior
improvements,
and
then
we
did
some
improvements
to
the
rotary
center.
B
So
what
we're
hoping
to
get
close
or
completed
in
24's
substantial
completion
on
The,
Squire,
Pope,
Carriage,
House
that'll,
be
on
the
renovation
portion
of
it.
We
still
would
have
to
work
on
the
interior
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we're
working
on
partnership
to
design
the
interior
on
law
enforcement
center
is
HVAC.
Some
interior
painting
upfitting
just
doing
some
things
to
get
it
updated
a
little
bit
on
the
inside
and
then
the
town
hall
is
our
safety
security
enhancements
and
Generator
the
generator
we're
hoping
to
have
it
ordered
by
into
this
fiscal
year.
B
B
So
land,
affordable
housing
and
economic
development,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
funds
in
there
for
land
acquisition.
Our
affordable
housing
project
is
under
design
and
then
we've
talked
about
the
Buckwalter
place
multi-county
commercial
park.
We
talked
about
it
at
first
reading,
a
little
bit
about
having
those
funds
set
aside
for
potentially
the
pad
developments
that
we
have
left
in.
There.
B
D
D
Is
there
any
Economic
Development
monies
that
would
help
the
town
potentially
build
a
building
there?
There
can
be
yes,
sir,
so
it
might
be
something
that
maybe
we
discuss
at
some
point
to
see
what
would
happen
if
we
actually
built
a
building
on
one
of
the
paths
so
with
funding
from
other
means.
So.
B
So
next
week
or
so
we'll
see
if
we
have
any
applicants
on
that,
but
what
we're
you
know
instead
of
trying
to
cast
a
line
out
there
and
try
to
catch,
you
know
something
that
may
or
may
not
be
out
there.
We've
tried
that
for
two
or
three
years
we're
trying
a
little
bit
more
direct
approach
and
say:
hey.
We
want
to
develop
the
site
now,
do
you
have
a
partner?
B
Do
you
have
somebody
who
may
be
looking
for
a
site
you
come
to
us
propose
what
you
want
to
do,
let's
review
it
we'll
find
out
what
may
be
in
the
best
interest
of
the
count,
the
town
bring
that
to
council
and
review
and
then
make
a
determination
if
we
want
to
move
forward
with
that.
If
not,
then
you
know
having
that
conversation
with
John
O'toole
and
trying
to
go
through
the
state
to
see
if
there's
funding
that
can
be
used
for
SPEC
Building.
A
Development
ate
the
land
they
they
donated,
and
then
there
were
claw
back
Provisions
like
the
company
would
build
the
building,
but
then
the
EDC
and
the
City
of
Beaufort
are
on
the
hook
for
some
number
of
months.
If
it's
not
filled
and
if
it's
empty
and
we
just
gotta
our
council's
got
to
be
thinking
a
different
way.
A
If
it's
something
that
we
want
to
partner
with,
because
I
kind
of
sit
back
and
listen
and
like
oh,
we
were,
we
were
kind
of
arguing
over
the
cost
of
land,
so
we've
got
to
kind
of
get
our
head
wrapped
around
it.
But
to
have
someone
come
in
I
mean
our
industry
is
different
than
Beaufort.
You
know,
maybe
it's
like
what
was
built
behind
Myrtle
Park.
Maybe
it's
I
think
a
Class
A
space
with
Warehouse
in
the
back
or
you.
F
E
Thing
we
were
talking
the
other
day
down
about
what
I
brought
up
was
you
know,
since
covid
the
world
has
changed,
you
know
you,
don't
big
corporations,
don't
have
these
huge
buildings
with
300
people
and
they're
working.
You
know
more
people
are
working
for
home
from
home,
and
you
see
offices
and
stuff
that
are
much
smaller
in
size.
E
Been
looking
I
mean
they
have.
A
core
building
has
been
empty
for
God
knows
how
long
it's
still
empty
beautiful
place
in
the
same
place.
We're
talking
about
spending
money
in
nobody's
not
biting
on
that
for
some
reason,
is
it
the
cost
of
it?
Or
is
it
just
these
corporations?
Don't
want
to
put
that
many
people
in
one
bot
so
to
speak,
it's
not
necessary,
probably
to
carry
on
there.
B
E
A
The
expansion
of
just
like
Myrtle
Park
I
mean
those
jobs
are
going
to
go
to
hardyville,
so
we
retained
and
then
they've
almost
doubled
the
number
of
employees
they
were
able
to
hire
out
of
those
two
buildings
because
they
were
able
to
expand
and
their
businesses.
We
all
know
the
people.
You
know
that
it's.
A
F
E
F
B
And,
like
the
mayor
said,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
go
into
getting
to
there.
It's
a
conversation
we
can
have,
but
that's
they've
kind
of
you
have
contact.
The
first
thing
that
has
to
be
done
is
decide.
What
do
we
want
to
build
and
what
do
we
want
to
Target?
Because
if
we
want
to
build
to
Target
a
certain
industry,
we
gotta
design
it
to
that
where
then
it
becomes
limited
to
that.
E
B
It's
set
aside
what
we've
done
for
when
we've
had
previous
people
look
at
the
site
and
us
having
to
talk
about
the
parking,
the
horizontal
infrastructure.
So
that's
where
that
funding
and
that
estimate
comes
from
for
what
we
would
need
is
based
on
every
time
we
have
somebody
look
at
it.
We
revisit
that
number!
That's
where
that
that
amount
is
set
up.
E
E
D
B
B
Going
forward
the
next
one
is
Parks,
and
this
is
you
can
see.
It
includes
Oyster,
Factory,
Oscar,
Frazier,
I,
think
I
went
through
all
those
no
need
to
rehash
so
ones
that
were
completed
or
will
be
completed
in
23.
Is
we
have
the
parking
lot
at
Oyster
Factory
Park?
We
were
down
there
parked
in
it
today,
but
we're
working
on
signage,
and
then
we
have
The
Hardscape
and
Landscape
at
well,
not
The
Hardscape,
there's
Landscaping!
That
is
it's
supposed
to
start,
I,
think
mid-june.
B
So
it
may
it's
going
to
be
right,
borderline,
whether
it's
done
this
year
or
not,
and
then
we
have
The
Hardscape
and
Landscape
improvements
at
Orchard
Factory
park
near
the
rotary
center.
That's
underway
right
now
we
completed
the
May
River
pocket
park
and
we've
done
some
Park
improvements
throughout
the
town,
including
the
Richard,
Street
pocket
park
and
stuff,
like
that,
some
random
improvements
there
and
then,
if
you've
been
out
to
a
rotary
center,
we've
put
a
door
in
front
of
the
bathroom
to
try
to
limit
nose.
A
B
So
some
part
projects
we
hope
to
complete
in
fiscal
year.
20
and
23-24
is
the
Oyster
Factory
Park
the
big
Pavilion
area
down
there.
You
saw
the
design
of
that
at
the
last
quarterly
Workshop
that
we
did
Oscar
Frazier
Park.
You
can
see
the
design
for
the
splash
pad
and
then
various
Park
improvements
that
we're
looking
at
play,
equipment
at
Dubose
Park.
B
A
new
one
here
is
the
new
Riverside
Village
Park.
This
is
new
because
it's
part
of
the
land
swap
that
we
made
over
at
New
Riverside
Village
next
to
where
the
library
was
supposed
to
go.
So
as
part
of
that
agreement,
it
included
us
building
a
playground
there.
Just
so
you
know
having
conversations
with
the
developer
about
that
so
I'm
trying
to
reach
out
and
have
another
meeting
with
them.
B
So
we
can
figure
out
long
term,
whether
that's
the
best
use
or
not,
but
right
now
the
agreement
says
that
by
December
30
by
the
end
of
2024,
we
are
supposed
to
have
that
completed
as
part
of
the
land.
The
land
swap
agreement
there.
So
we're
putting
the
CIP
in
there
for
that
project
so
that
if
we
do
have
to
construct
it,
we
have
to
have
it
done
by
the
end
of
24..
B
So
we're
going
to
I.T.
This
is
all
Tracy's
projects,
so
we
have
our
con,
so
we
get
hey,
we
spread
it
around.
Everybody
in
this
is
a
continuation
of
upgrading
and
adding
to
our
community
safety
cameras.
We
always
have
things
that
come
up.
We
realized
when
we
did
Bridge
streetscape.
We
didn't
include
cameras
in
that,
so
we
needed
to
make
sure
that
as
we're
putting
the
that,
we
want
to
look
look
at
doing
something
there,
including
our
Network
improvements
and
continuing
our
document
management
system
that
we're
implementing
right
now.
B
A
Been
asked
several
challenges:
I
didn't
know
when
to
bring
it
up
the
cameras.
Can
we
not?
Is
there
a
possibility
of
getting
them
on
like
the
website
like
the
county
cameras
where
people
can
actually
go
on
and
see
them
or
is
that
a
whole
nother
budget
thing
you've
got
to
consider
and
the
second
thing
is
I've
had
five
different
people
ask
me
and
I
here,
one
way
or
the
other?
F
B
Are
outside
at,
like
Wright
family
park,
to
make
sure
that
nobody's
damaging
them
or
we're
trying
to.
We
have
traffic
intersections
that
we
monitor
for
evacuations
and
hurricanes
and
stuff
like
that.
If
we
wanted
to
look
at
doing
something
like
putting
a
webcam
up
at
Wright
family
park
or
at
the
dock,
or
something
like
that,
that
would
probably
be
a
something
that
we
could
look
at
and
make
sure
that
we
have
the
infrastructure
to
be
able
to
handle
that
as
well
as
work
with
the
website
to
see
if
we
could
get
that
on
there.
E
I
will
say:
I've
always
supported
the
camera
system
from
when
Joey
was
here.
We
got
the
first
ones,
I
think
it's
money
well
spent,
but
I
do
on
a
few
occasions.
I
had
I,
don't
know
if
we
have
the
best
we
should
have
or
the
best
out
there
or
the
cheapest
out
there.
What
the
deal
is,
but
many
times
we're
not
being
able
to
go
back
and
see
what
we
were
looking
for.
You.
E
A
B
A
lot
of
times
it's
more
of
them,
being
pointed
at
the
right
place
at
the
right
time
when
they're
noted,
because
if
we
have
them
pointed
at
a
shelter
to
make
sure
that
nobody's
damaging
the
shelter
and
then
they
go
to
the
playground
and
do
something.
Then
we
may
not
but
yeah
understood,
and
we
share
that
same
same
value.
Yeah.
B
All
right
so
again
to
the
end
here,
just
kind
of
go
over.
These
are
all
our
CIP
projects
and
this
kind
of
gives
you
a
breakdown
of
the
different
funding
that
goes
into
each
project.
So
you
can
see
kind
of
the
breakdown
between
whether
it's
H
Tax
local,
a
tax
storm
water,
utility
Tiff,
where
which,
what's
going
into
each
project,
to
support
it
to
make
it
successful.
B
B
So
that's
just
keep
that
in
mind.
This
isn't
written
in
stone.
We
can
come
back
and
revisit
it
every
year,
but
this
just
kind
of
gives
you
an
idea
of
what
we're
looking
at
for
some
of
these
projects.
Moving
forward
like
Oyster
Factory
Park,
new
Riverside
Barn,
you
can
see
the
network
improvements
so
on
and
so
forth.
B
So
to
wrap
us
up.
This
brings
us
back
to
our
overall
Consolidated
budget.
We've
talked
about
every
aspect
of
it
now
now
that
we've
gone
through
CIP
and
just
to
as
a
reminder,
it
is
a
little
short
of
78
million
dollars
for
our
overall
budget
and
as
a
reminder,
I've
talked
about
this
every
time.
It
is
new
that
we
are
now
have
the
special
Revenue
funds
in
there.
So
if
you
look
at
the
special
Revenue
funds,
it's
9
million
a
little
over
9
million.
B
So
this
would
take
us
to
the
end
of
our
second
budget.
Workshop
The,
Next
Step
should
Council
not
have
anything
additional
or
any
questions
would
be
for
us
to
take.
What
we've
discussed
during
these
two
workshops,
including
what
we
talked
about
tonight
with
the
neighborhood
assistance
program,
go
back.
B
We
will
need
to
amend
the
budget
ordinance
to
address
that,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
the
language-
and
everything
was
good
with
council
tonight,
so
we'll
go
back
and
before
we
get
to
second
reading,
we'll
have
that
addressed
and
we'll
be
able
to
to
move
forward.
We'll
say
I
did
forget
one
thing
and
it
will
be
very
quick,
and
this
is
more
so
for
our
public
or
so
than
Council.
But
I
did
want
to
remind
everybody
about
our
Capital
Improvement
dashboard
and
to
go
on
there.
This
is
a
couple
of
them.
B
We
have
Bridge
Street
streetscape.
You
can
see
it's
under
construction.
You
can
see
projects,
progress
for
construction,
you
can
see
the
budget
breakdown,
our
data
sheets
and
then
I
also
have
Squire
Pope
on
here.
So
you
can
see
it
under
construction.
Just
make
sure
if
you
have
any
for
the
public
really
any
Capital
project
that
we're
working
on.
You
can
go
to
this
dashboard.
It's
on
our
website
under
our
map
gallery
and
keep
up
with
all
of
our
CIP
projects.
I
always
like
to
make
sure.
As
we
say,
we
have
a
map.
A
D
D
D
B
A
B
And
get
our
projects
done,
yeah
and
one
thing
to
remember:
we
carried
over.
We
did
an
additional
10
million
dollar
Tif
bond
that
we
didn't
get
to
spend
last
year.
So
that's
a
lot
of
our
carryover
for
Tiff,
because
we
only
spent
a
few
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
this
fiscal
year
on
the
phase
one
over
there.
So
we're
carrying
forward
a
good
bit
of
that.
