A
B
C
Ask
that
question
all
right
get
my
stuff
out.
The
way
in
case
I
need
to
make
notes
all
right
good
evening,
mayor
and
Council.
As
you
know,
this
is
our
first
Town
Council
budget
workshop
for
the
budget
year,
23
24..
We
will
have
another
one
on
Tuesday
May,
the
30th,
which
is
the
day
after
Memorial
day,
so
we'll
be
back
in
here
and
we'll
go
over
CIP
and
we'll
also
have
the
DMO
here
as
well
to
talk
about
their
next
year's
expenditures.
C
Did
during
the
first
reading
of
the
budget
I'm
going
to
go
through
some
of
the
economic
factors
or
budget
goals
go
over
the
budget
and
I'll
go
a
little
more
detail
than
I
did
by
department
and
stuff
we'll
go
through
and
again.
If
you
have
any
questions,
please
feel
free
to
just
stop
me
and
let
me
know
as
we
go
through
I
know.
C
We
went
through
several
of
them
during
the
first
reading,
so
I
think
we
got
some
out
the
way,
but
we
can
address
anything
else
that
comes
up
so
again
to
talk
about
the
economic
factors.
These
are
just
an
overview,
gives
you
our
per
capita
median
family,
and
we
also
added
in
our
area
meeting
income
this
year.
So
we
can
have
that
to
track
and
keep
up
with
as
we
move
forward,
as
well
as
our
median
housing
costs
and
unemployment
rate
to
compare
for
the
county
and
the
state.
C
So
whenever
this
last
time,
but
just
to
reiterate
these
are
some
of
our
economic
drivers,
you
can
see
how
they've
changed
over
the
last
year
with
health
care
and
education
going
down
a
little
bit:
accommodations,
food
and
entertainment.
Going
up
about
three
percent
retail
going
down
about
a
percent
and
a
half
professional
and
scientific
and
management
staying
pretty
level,
and
then
construction
actually
going
down
close
to
about
three
percent
from
last
year.
I
just
remember
these
are
percentages.
These
are
not
actual
numbers.
C
C
Yes,
so
we
have
not
heard
yet
as
far
as
I
know
for
about
our
credit
rating
review,
but
so
right
now
we
are
still
the
same.
We
have
excellent
credit
position
with
double
A
Plus
for
standard
and
poor
and
aa1
for
Moody's.
We
are
still
hoping
to
have
that
by
the
time
we
do
second
budget
reading
in
June
and
know
whether
we'll
stay
the
same
or
whether
we
may
get
an
opportunity
to
move
higher
in
our
credit
rating.
C
So
again,
the
goal
of
the
budget
is
to
continue
to
deliver
on
the
Strategic
plans,
priorities
and
our
mission
and
vision
of
the
town
that
Council
has
established
that
we
review
annually
and
that
we
set
really
every
two
years
to
work
towards.
We
make
sure
our
budget
reflects
that,
so
we
this
budget
reflects
growth
management
which
is
affordable,
housing
long-range
planning
and
also
working
to
update
some
of
our
Master
plans.
C
As
you
know,
we've
started
our
buck,
Island
simmonsville
community,
and
once
we
get
that
one
adopted
we'll
decide
whether
we
want
to
move
guthy,
Schultz
or
an
Old
Town
or
where
we
may
need
to
go
next
for
our
updating
our
plans,
also
with
Watershed
and
resiliency
May
River
action
plan,
our
regional
Partnerships
and
protection
of
that,
and
as
well
working
to
get
a
lot
of
our
capital
projects
moving
forward
and
trying
to
get
them
completed.
So
there's
quite
a
list
of
them
there
that
we're
continuing
to
work
on
and
will
continue
into
23-24.
C
So
we're
going
to
go
through
an
overview
of
the
funds,
as
the
mayor
said,
we're
going
to
talk
about
instead
of
four.
Now
it's
five,
because
we
added
the
special
Revenue
fund
this
year,
which
is
our
hospitality
and
local
accommodations
because
of
the
increase
we've
had
in
them.
They've
become
more
major
funds
versus
just
secondary
funds.
C
So
before
we
get
into
the
general
fund,
we'll
do
our
overall
Consolidated
budget
to
show
you
where
the
total
budget
for
the
year
is,
and
you
can
see
for
fiscal
year
24
it's
proposed
to
be
about
just
short
of
78
million
dollars.
Last
year
the
total
Consolidated
budget
was
about
73..
A
little
over
I
will
point
out
again
like
I
did
last
time.
If
you
look
in
special
Revenue
funds
for
fiscal
year
23,
there
are
zero
because
we
didn't
account
for
those
last
year
and
then
this
year
there's
a
little
over
9
million.
C
So
even
though
the
total
Consolidated
budget
is
up
about
four
and
a
half,
nine
million
is
in
special
Revenue.
So
if
you
take
out
the
special
Revenue,
we
would
be
down
about
four
and
a
half
million
over
where
we
were
last
year.
Just
wanted
to
point
that
out,
so
that,
because
we're
not
really
looking
at
Apples
to
Apples
over
fiscal
year,
23
and
24
because
of
the
new
funds
that
we're
accounting
for
in
our
Consolidated
budget,
foreign.
C
So
a
few
highlights
recognizes
a
little
bit
of
slowdown
that
we've
had
in
construction
and
permits
over
the
last
year.
It
does
recommend
to
keep
our
property
tax
millage
the
same
at
38.5
mils
that
includes
our
ad
valorem
and
as
well
as
our
debt
millage.
This
is
pending
reassessment
which
is
going
on
at
the
County
right
now.
So
once
we
get
an
idea
of
what
reassessment
will
do
we'll
come
back
to
council
to
discuss
what
that?
C
You
know
we
did
our
class
and
comp
last
year,
which
gave
about
an
average
of
around
seven
percent
for
all
employees,
and
we
did
two
percent
Merit
in
January,
so
that
was
about
a
nine
percent
and
the
current
budget
Year
we're
in
for
next
year
we're
looking
to
do
a
two
percent
cost
of
living
which
will
bump
everybody's
pay,
as
well
as
the
pay
bills.
Two
percent-
that's
one
of
the
things
that's
new!
C
Now
that
we
did
the
class
in
comp,
one
of
the
reasons
that
hit
was
so
high
was
because
we
always
did
Merit
increases.
We
didn't
do
anything
to
adjust
our
pay
bans
throughout
the
year,
so
this
will
adjust
our
pay
ban
to
try
to
keep
up
as
well
as
have
two
percent
to
adjust
people
within
our
pay
bands,
so
we'll
recognize
the
growth
and
then
we'll
also
recognize
performance.
So
that's
a
little
something
different
for
this
year,
but
it'll
it'll
be
for
the
vast
majority
of
our
employees,
a
four
percent
increase.
C
It
also
works
to
invest
in
our
public
infrastructure.
As
you
know,
we've
got
a
lot
of
projects
going
on
I
think
they
were
down
here,
getting
started
on
Bridge
Street
for
sewer,
so
again,
public
sewer,
streetscapes
parks
and
all
as
well
as
doing
projects
throughout
all
of
our
community.
So
we've
got
phase
five
sewer,
that's
been
awarded,
we've
got
street
lights,
sidewalks
on
Buck
on
simmonsville
we've
got
the
barn
project
out
on
New
Riverside,
so
we're
doing
throughout
the
entire
Community
for
our
capital
projects.
C
It
also
supports
our
strategic
Partnerships
that
we
have
outside
with
other
partners.
We
have
our
Palmetto
Breeze
match
that
we
do
for
public
transportation.
That's
a
little
short
of
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
our
public
defender's
office
that
we
partner
with
to
do
engine
defense.
That's
part
of
our
court,
where
the
provide
an
attorney
for
somebody
who
can
afford
it.
A
A
C
I'm
more
glad
to
get
them
and
if
you
would
like,
even
if
it's
not
part
of
the
budget,
we
can
have
them
come
sometime,
maybe
in
the
fall
and
have
them
do
an
update
on
how
their
ridership
and
programs
are
going
because
I
don't
think.
We've
heard
from
them
because
I've
been
here
yeah,
so
I
don't
know
if
it
was
pre-covered
since
the
last
time
we
heard
from
them.
So
it
wouldn't
be
bad
to
have
them
in
here
and
just
give
an
update
on
how
ridership
and
programs
and
all
that
are
growing.
E
B
C
He
comes
at
strategic
planning,
but
again,
if
we
want
to
have
him
more
frequently,
we
can
always
have
him
come
more
frequently
to
council,
like
maybe
once
every
six
months
and
see
if
that
addresses,
or
we
can
do
once.
You
know,
we've
gotten
to
where
we've
I
know.
One
of
the
issues
we
had
with
drci
is
you'd,
hear
from
them
at
strategic
plan
or
budget,
and
then
wouldn't
really
hear
a
lot.
So
now
we
have
them
coming
every
quarter
to
give
updates
and
I
think
that's
helped.
E
A
C
It
down
the
other
thing
with
Don
Ryan
Center
as
well
is
city
of
hardyville.
You
know
we
do
partnership
with
them,
they
actually
contract
us.
We
are
hoping
that
they
will
approve
a
three-year
extension
of
that
contract
at
their
June
meeting
and
then
you'll
have
it
on
your
agenda
for
June
to
approve
our
side
of
it,
and
they
seem
pleased
with
that.
C
C
Also
an
Accommodations
Tax
requests.
We
have
a
Historic
District
Welcome
Center,
which
is
the
Hayward
house,
as
well
as
our
DMO,
which
is
the
Hilton
Head
Bluffton
Chamber
of
Commerce,
and
that's
that
percentage
based
on
the
revenue
from
State,
Accommodations
Tax
and
we'll
get
into
that
more
as
we
get
into
the
different
sources.
C
C
One
of
them
is
some
of
it's
just
updating
some
rates
that
haven't
changed
in
a
while,
like
the
off-duty
police
officer,
with
the
cost,
with
the
increase
we've
had
with
salaries
benefits,
and
all
that.
It's
just
adjusting
that
for
the
first
time
in
about
three
or
four
years
to
make
that
more
in
line
same
thing
with
our
cleaning
fee,
we
just
renewed
our
cleaning
contract,
and
now
the
cleaning
for
per
cleaning
has
gone
up.
C
So
we're
just
passing
that
on
for
the
rentals,
we
would
add
the
Buckwalter
Place
Commerce
Park
in
there,
and
that
is
the
one
for
the
amphitheater.
So,
just
while
we're
talking
about
that,
the
part
B
is
what
we
consider
the
amphitheater
park.
That
is
the
one
we
just
purchased
from
Cigna,
where
it
has,
and
we
had
discussions
about
potentially
breaking
it
up
and
running
it
as
different
sections,
but
with
it
being
completely
gated
and
somebody's
doing
something
the
amphitheater
and
you
still
have
other
people
in
the
green.
C
It
just
made
more
sense
to
rent
out
the
entire
park
within
the
gate
as
an
event
venue,
and
then
we
would
also
have
Park
a
which
is
our
current
one
in
our
Veterans
Park.
They
can
still
be
rented
out
as
well,
so
the
fees
that
are
proposed
for
there
are
there
are
are
right
there,
so
it's
very
similar
to
what
we
charge
for
Wright,
family
and
Martin
family
park.
Now
we
wanted
to
keep
it
in
line
with
that,
since
so
we
didn't
want
to
create
an
undue
burden
by
on
this
new
park.
C
C
C
It's
been
a
while,
since
we
had
one
we
had,
somebody
ask
came
in
and
asked
if
they
could
have,
if
we
would
make
them
a
print
down
copy
and
we
didn't
have
a
cost
in
there
for
being
able
to
do
that.
We
have
it
in
there
for
a
lot
of
our
other
plans.
So
we
wanted
to
make
it's
pretty
much
the
same
as
printing
into
and
doing
one
for
our
storm
water,
ordinance,
I,
think
it's
75
or
90.
What
do
we
set
it
at
12
pages,
I,
think,
90
and
90.
C
D
C
With
it
being
in
Kohler
and
back
so
it's
so
we
wanted
to
make
it
reasonable,
but
we
didn't
want
to
make
it
just
so
that
everybody's
going
to
come
in
and
ask
for
one
and
we're
going
to
lose
a
bunch
of
money
off
of
it,
but
so
that's
a
new
one,
that's
in
there
and
then,
as
well
as
the
storm
water
maintenance
fees,
there's
another
in
Pez
inspection
fee.
Now
that
we
have
stormwater
ponds
and
Facilities
that
are
finishing
up
and
coming
online.
A
B
H
C
And
it's
in
the
but
and
they
actually,
we
don't
get
into
the
actual
like
what
y'all
don't
get
all
of
that
when
we
go
through
it
like
they
may
have
Wright
family
park
maintenance
and
within
that
they
might
have
dock
staining
Mulch
and
all
the
breakdown
in
there.
But
they
have
maintenance
for
every
Park
and
they
have
a
maintenance
schedule.
C
E
A
E
C
C
This
year,
so
the
general
fund,
as
you
know,
with
accounts
and
reports,
Financial
Resources
for
the
town's
primary
operating
fund
and
its
primary
resources-
are
property
taxes
license
permits
and
intergovernmental,
so
start
out
talk
about
our
property
taxes.
So
our
estimated
value
of
a
meal
went
over
this
during
first
reading.
As
you
can
see,
it's
gone
up
by
about
about
thirty
thousand
dollars
over
last
year
per
Mill,
which
is
about
30
million
dollars
worth
of
estimated
value
for
fiscal
year.
24
again
to
remember
this
is
pre
reassessment
with
act.
C
388
reassessment
is
capped,
so
the
most
a
property
can
go
up,
is
15
percent
but
and
I
don't
know
how
much
we're
actually
going
to
go
up
to
capture
with
so
many
properties
turning
over
in
the
last
four
or
five
years,
but
we're
assuming
that
it's
still
going
to
be
a
pretty
significant
increase.
We
may
cap
out
at
our
15
percent,
but
because
you're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
people
who,
if
you
lived
here
for
five
six
years,
the
property
value
increases.
C
You
haven't
captured
that
on
your
property,
you'll
probably
hit
that
cap
of
15
percent,
but
it
is
capped
at
15
percent.
So
this
shows
you,
our
millage
rate.
Being
for
operating
general
fund
is
36.8,
for
our
debt
service
is
1.7,
recommends.
Keeping
that
the
same.
Also,
keep
that
note
in
there
on
reassessment
just
gives
you
a
kind
of
a
pie
chart
breakdown
of
what
makes
up
our
our
revenues
you
can
see
about.
C
This
gives
it
to
you
in
numbers
with
a
little
more
breakdown,
so
you
can
see
where
the
license
and
permit
percentage
comes
from.
What
makes
that
up?
You
can
see
your
business
licenses,
franchise
fees,
the
municipal,
Association
Collections,
and
you
can
see
some
of
those
are
going
up
based
on
the
growth
that
we've
had
we're
going
to
have
more
brokerage,
more
Insurance
things
like
telecommunication
are
actually
going
down
because
less
people
have
phones
in
their
home
now
and
stuff
like
that.
So
we're
you
know
you
can
see.
C
So
this
tells
you
where
it
goes
you
can
see
about.
58
goes
to
our
one
of
our
key
things,
our
people
and
then
the
other
30
goes
to
making
sure
that
we
can
operate
the
town
and
continue
to
move
forward
and
then
the
rest
of
it's
going
out
for
projects
and
debt.
But,
as
you
can
see,
we,
the
vast
majority
is
invested
in
operations
in
our
town
and
our
employees.
C
And
this
gives
you
that
financially
breaking
down
with
the
numbers,
so
you
can
see
where
the
increase
in
our
salaries,
you
know
the
increase
in
operations
and
whether
how
that's
broken
down
the
rest
of
it.
With
the
transfer
out
to
CIP
and
arpa,
we
should
be
finishing
up
arpa
this
coming
budget
year
right.
C
Kind
of
talked
a
little
bit
about
these,
but
these
are
some
of
the
highlights
for
the
general
fund.
We
talked
about
the
cost
of
living
and
the
Merit.
It
does
include
our
PTO
payout
that
we
do
for
up
to
24
25
hours.
Most
employees
take
advantage
of
that,
and
they
do
so
right
around
Thanksgiving
and
time
for
the
holidays.
It
does
include
the
additional
one
percent
increase
on
the
employer
side
of
retirement
I
think
we
have
one
more
year
left
of
that.
Before
we
finish
out,
it
was
a
seven
percent
increase
over
five
years.
C
I
think
we
got
one
more
year.
Left
also
includes
five
percent
for
our
employer
health
insurance
increase
at
the
state
and
there's
also
some
new
positions
proposed
went
over
these
in
first
reading.
Nothing's
changed
with
this,
but
it
shows
a
part-time
Administrative
Assistant
to
help
in
Communications
and
community
outreach.
That's
to
really
help
them
with
a
lot
of
the
rental
and
administrative
stuff
that
we
have
going
on,
that
we've
seen
that
growth
in
what
them
trying
to
do,
town
events
and
all
that
that's
a
Debbie
Lindy,
Ted
and
tia
that
provide
some
support
to
them.
C
To
allow
them
to
continue
to
grow
what
they've
done
it
takes
the
part-time
customer
service
up
front
a
position
it
makes
it
full-time.
I
can
tell
you.
We've
been
advertising
that
part-time
customer
service
position
now
I
think
for
like
four
or
five
months,
and
not
not
gotten
anybody
so
we're
looking
to
make
that
full
time
and
it'll
help
with
the
amount
of
business
license
and
everything
we've
got.
We
see
continuously
needing
additional
help
up
there,
especially
if
somebody's
out
vacation,
sick
or
any
of
that
kind
of
stuff.
C
It
also
puts
into
backfill
position
and
finance
for
upcoming
retirement.
We
actually
have
Cindy
is
going
to
be
retiring,
November
and
November.
So
this
allows
us
to
go
ahead
and
fill
her
position
and
have
somebody
here
to
go
through
the
audit
with
her
so
that
we
have
that
experience
before
she
before
she
leaves
so
that
position
will
go
away
after
Cindy
leaves
that
position
will
balance
back
out
same
thing.
C
We
did
when
Vicky
retired
and
then
it
as
this
budget
year
currently
y'all
move
the
full-time
Deputy
Clerk
of
Court
to
two
part-time
Court
assistants.
It
carries
that
forward
and
so
we'll
be
well.
We've
got
one
more
of
those
to
fill.
We've
been
holding
on
filling
it
because
we
brought
in
the
assistant
judge
this
year
and
we
use
those
funds
to
cover
that
cost
for
the
rest
of
the
year,
and
then
we
have
the
option
to
switch
our
property
acquisition
administrator
right
now
we
contract
that
and
we
have
it
in
the
budget.
C
So
if
we
decide
that
it's
not
working
out
in
contract,
we
want
to
bring
it
in
and
do
it
as
a
part-time
position
or
contract
position.
We'll
have
the
ability
to
do
that
and
the
funds
in
the
position
available
for
that
and
I
mentioned
in
the
first
reading,
similar
to
how
we
had
Benny
when
he
was
here,
he
kind
of
was
part-time,
retired
and
handled
a
lot
of
that
stuff.
C
E
C
A
body
that
you
know
right
now,
we
have
a,
we
have
two
firms
under
contract
and
they
working
yes,
okay
and
the
discussion
has
been
based
on
what
their
charging
us
to
do
and
how
fast
they
can
actually
move,
whether
we're
happy
with
them
or
not.
We
want
to
have
the
position
available
in
case
it
doesn't
work
out.
C
We
can
bring
somebody
in
staff
on
it,
so
we'll
have
the
this
will
allow
us
to
have
the
funding
in
the
part-time
position
available,
but
if
the
contract's
working
well
and
we
want
to
keep
it
contracted,
we
won't
fill
the
position
if
it
doesn't
work
well
with
the
contract
or
the
cost,
to
start
succeeding.
What
the
what
we're
getting
for
results-
and
we
want
to
bring
somebody
in.
We
have
the
ability
to
do
that.
How
long
have
they
been
working.
G
Been
working
for
about
four
months
right
now
we
were
putting
out
a
scope
and
actually
determining
if
we
wanted
them
to
start
on
Gerard
or
Maiden.
We
make
the
Headway.
We
thought
was
some
internal
connections
on
Gerard,
so
we're
going
to
turn
them
loose
on
that
and
they
may
assist
Richardson
with
some
legal
action
as
well
and
moving
through
property
acquisition,
if
needed,
in
conjunction
with
ghost
roads
and
Sewer.
A
G
We
we
gave
them
some
internal
internally
discussions,
different
directions.
We
were
going
to
have
them
not
help
on
the
sewer,
because
Mark
had
been
working
that
for
so
long
and
put
them
over
on
Gerard
and
now,
because
we
may
be
needing
to
move
into
some
more
legal
action.
It
we're
investigating,
if
it's
cheaper,
to
use
them
to
augment
our
legal
team
instead
of
using
the
legal
team,
so
I
think
Felicia
and
Richardson
have
been
working
on
price
comparisons.
On
that.
C
C
So
again,
some
of
the
spinacher
highlights
and
then
we'll
get
into
the
Departments
is
it
supports
professional
development
and
our
staff?
Certifications
also
continues
our
contract
for
garbage
service.
I
will
say
we
have
received
notice
from
them
about
Recycling
and
some
issues
they're
having
I
think
they
are
closing
a
recycle
center.
That's
closed
and
they're
going
to
have
to
start
hauling
further,
so
they're
we're
going
to
have
to
sit
down
with
them
and
work
through
some
details
on
that
counties
receive
the
same
notice.
C
So
we'll
keep
you
up
to
date
on
how
those
conversations
go
over
the
next
few
weeks
and
see
see
how
that
may
affect
my
recycling
service
or
our
cost
per
recycling
container
again
it
supports
our
PD
recruitment,
our
mental
health
program.
We
talked
about
our
class
three
officers,
our
historic
preservations
programs,
and
we
talked
about
Don,
Ryan
Center
and
the
different
programs
they
put
on.
C
It
also
keeps
our
Partnerships
that
we
have
got.
Let's
see
43
our
crossing
crossing
guards,
domestic
balance,
assistance,
drug
task,
force
and
so
forth,
talked
about
our
neighborhood
plan,
updates
continuing
our
vehicle
lease
program
for
our
police
to
keep
them
their
equipment
up
to
date
and
also
enhances
our
support
of
affordable
housing
initiatives
and
we'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more
as
we
move
forward
and
then
our
beautification
committee
work
plan,
so
I'm
going
to
start
going
through
by
Department.
C
Here
and
again,
if
you
have
any
questions,
feel
free
to
ask,
you
can
see
everybody's
up
a
little
bit
based
on
position.
You
can
see
the
police
is
the
big
one,
because
they've
got
non-sros
that
are
new,
but
we
have
the
Grant
in
there
to
offset
that
expenditure.
So
when
you
add
in
I,
said
nine
I
think
it's
six
sorry,
six
sros
class,
three
sros.
So
when
you
we
have
a
grant
to
offset
that
that's
going
to
be
the
majority
of
their
increase.
That's
associated
with
that.
C
C
C
Job
my
statement
I
apologize.
They
make
up
35
of
our
budget
and
then
you
can
hold
it.
Next
biggest
department
is
going
to
be
growth
management,
followed
by
it
public
services
and
stuff
like
that.
So
so,
last
year,
when
we
did
the
class
and
comp
we
kind
of
broke
down-
and
we
talked
about
like
what
our
average
pay
is,
our
median
pay-
and
we
went
through
some
of
that
stuff.
C
So
I
wanted
to
kind
of
revisit
that
again
this
year
and
show
how
things
are
progressing
up
and
discontinue
that
conversation
from
last
year,
so
pre-class
and
comp.
This
was
what,
before
May
of
last
year
before
Council
adopted
it,
our
average
salary
was
around
62
and
a
half.
Our
median
salary
was
around
56..
You
can
see
currently
after
class
and
comp,
and
our
two
percent
Cola
we
did
in
January,
our
average
salary
is
just
is
just
over
69
000..
C
C
Currently
it's
about
33
30,
and
then
you
can
see
again
we're
pushing
close
to
about
11
percent
increase
over
where
we
were
to
where
we
are
today
for
our
employees
for
their
increase
for
the
average
pay
increase
over
the
last
year.
Looking
at
what's
proposed,
you
would
see
with
the
two
percent
Cola.
It
would
actually
take
our
average
salary
over
seventy
thousand
dollars.
C
It
would
take
our
median
salary
to
about
63
and
a
half
thousand,
and
that
would
be
an
average
increase
of
about
fourteen
hundred
dollars
per
employee
through
the
town,
and
then
we
get
our
average
hourly
rate
up
to
just
short
of
thirty
four
dollars
an
hour
with
the
two-year
mid-year
Merit.
You
can
see
it
would
take
us
up
about
the
average
employee
up
about
another
fourteen
hundred
dollars,
that'd
be
about
twenty
eight
hundred
dollars
total
for
the
year
and
get
our
average
hourly
rate
up
to
about
34.65.
C
Part
of
that
as
well,
is
kind
of
looking
at
where
everybody
falls
kind
of
within
ten
thousand
dollar
bands
within
the
town.
As
you
can
see
before
pre-class
and
comp,
we
had
seven
that
were
below
forty
thousand
dollars.
Afterwards,
we
only
had
we
had
those
seven
went
away
and
we
you
can
see
the
break
down
there.
We
had
27
that
were
below
50
27
that
were
50
to
60.
C
So
this
gives
breakdown
of
the
number
of
personnel
per
department,
and
so,
as
you
can
see,
there's
150
approved
full-time
for
the
current
fiscal
year.
We
would
go
to
157
next
year.
Again,
six
of
those
are
sros.
One
would
be
taking
the
part
time
to
full-time
at
customer
or
no
sorry
the
would
it
be
the
full
is
that
the
full
time
for.
C
C
Finance
and
admin
the
what's
the
point:
five
there.
That's
the
part,
that's
a
customer
service
up
front.
Thank
you.
Sharing
that
position.
Sorry
I
had
a
brain
lapse
there
and
then
the
one
would
be
the
one
in
finance
and
admin
would
be
the
Gap
one
that
we're
going
to
be
covering
for
Cindy
until
her
retirement.
Then
you
see
the
other
ones
are
part-time
for
the
customer
service,
part-time
for
our
the
five
sworn
in
the
police
department
and
then
part-time,
being
split
between
I.T
and
executive.
C
C
That's
what's
making
up
the
increase
in
the
salaries,
the
the
big
increase
there
and
that,
like
I,
said
that'll,
be
there
to
help
support
the
growth
we've
seen
as
we
have
Lindy
doing
more
events
throughout
Town
she's,
really
needing
assistance
for
people
who
are
wanting
to
do
rentals,
who
need
to
just
have
somebody
go
and
show
them
the
the
rotary
center,
take
them
down
to
Martin,
family
and
just
to
fill
out
the
paperwork.
Do
the
special
event
permits
her
doing
the
events
of
taking
a
lot
of
that?
C
It's
really
taxed
her,
so
this
will
allow
this
will
give
them
the
support
they
need,
based
on
the
amount
of
events
that
they've
taken
on.
So
that's
where
that
that's
coming
from
and
as
well
as
a
good
portion
of
their
operating
is
the
events
they
actually
put
on
and
that's
part
of
the
transfer
that
we
make
from
Hospitality
tax
is
to
put
on
the
town
events,
the
Fourth
of
July,
the
movie
series,
Christmas
parade
and
so
forth.
B
C
A
C
So
into
the
executive
office
salaries,
the
increase
we
have
here
is
an
increase
for
half
of
one
of
the
positions.
We
are
splitting
a
position
with
it.
We
have
somebody
who's
working
in
it
and
also
doing
our
Dei
program,
so
she's
being
split
50
with
50,
with
a
half
position
reporting
to
Chris.
For
that
another
half
me
working
in
I.T
and
administrative
support.
So
that's
a
little
bit
of
an
increase
in
change
in
there
foreign.
C
G
H
C
Part
of
that
is
that
shared
position
up
front
and
the
benefits
now
that
it'll
be
going
from
part-time
to
full-time.
It
will
receive
full
benefits
to
that
position.
It's
got
a
little
increased
cost
in
there.
The
big
operating
decline
is
taking
out
the
comp
plan
because
it
we
don't
we're
done
so
that
gets
to
be
removed
from
the
budget.
C
C
C
The
goal
for
next
year
is
to
have
that
funded
at
a
similar
level,
which
is
290
000,
which
is
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
increase
over
where
it
was
this
year.
I
can
tell
you
that
I
think
out
of
the
additional
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We
gave
him
I,
think
Vicky's,
just
about
used.
All
of
that
so
I
think
having
those
funds
will
they'll
get
used
so,
but
it
does
have
an
increase
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
there
for
next
year.
A
C
We
haven't
utilized
it
because
we
haven't
had
a
need
for
it.
This
is
the
first
year
we've
actually
expended
all
of
our
funds
in
the
past
that
affordable
housing
what's
been
left
has
gone
into
the
carried
forward
into
the
affordable
housing
CIP
fund
and
we're
using
those
funds
or
what
will
be
used
for
the
May,
River,
Project
and
other
ones
like
that.
If
we
get
to
a
point
where
we
need
more
money-
and
you
want
to
take
some
out
of
there-
I
think
we
can
we
can
move.
A
C
A
And
I
know
we've
asked
for
more,
but
if
she
does
have
leftover,
I,
don't
use
it
or
lose
it
year
to
year
and
I
I
was
always
the
impression
unless
it
got
changed
somewhere
that
it
would.
She
would
always
have
that
money
if
she
had
five
thousand
left
it
goes
now.
She
has
295
000.,
it's
not
that
it
goes
because
she's
using
it
or
losing
it
now.
So.
C
To
carry
money
from
one
budget
year
to
the
next
budget
year,
it
has
to
be
carried
in
some
sort
of
fund,
and
you
can't
you
don't
so.
When
your
general
fund,
Runs
Out,
you
adopt
a
brand
new
general
fund,
we
either
have
to
put
that
money
in
our
like
our
Reserve
fund.
We
have
to
put
it
in
our
Capital,
not
capital
reserve.
What's
what
I'm
looking
for
not
our
debts?
C
C
E
That's
not
new,
that's
what
was
happening
was
well.
What
was
happening
was
even
when
Mark
was
here,
the
CI,
the
fun
got
large,
because
we
we
hadn't
done
it.
We
hadn't
done
a
project
yet,
and
so
this
what
they
did
is
they
started
rolling
it
over
to
what
he
just
said
to
the
CIP
from
the
CIP,
so
it
could
be
utilized
for
a
housing
program.
So.
H
I
just
explained
really
quickly,
so
my
first
year
Mark
had
requested
that
that
accumulated
moved
over
to
CIP
for
the
affordable
housing
project,
and
so
that's
when
that
first
occurred
and
annually
since
then,
whatever
was
left
over,
we
moved
over
to
the
CIP
one.
One
of
the
reasons
for
those
one
is:
we
were
trying
to
work
on
a
major,
affordable
housing
project
that
we
needed.
Capital
funds
for
the
other,
is
when
you
accumulate
a
lot
in
unassigned
fund
balance,
and
then
you
pull
from
that
to
fund
operations
in
the
next
year's
budget.
H
A
There's
3
580
left:
okay,
I
wonder
if
it
was
35,
000
and
Vicki.
If
I
was
Vicky,
I'd
be
using
Johnny
on
the
spot,
and
it's
really
not
taking
care.
I
just
feel
like
there's
more
of
an
urgency
to
use
it.
Is
there
no
way
to
Market
and
I
get
with
a
rating
I'm
all
about
the
rating,
but
is
there
any
way
to
Market
somewhere
that
now
affordable
housing
committee
doesn't
expect
35
000
to
go
to
that
project?
That
Vicky
can
pull
from
that
without
having
to
get
a
whole
new
budget
and
I'm.
E
That
it
wasn't
being
used
so,
but
now
we
have
a
housing
program
and
there's
money
there
to
fund
it.
You
know
and
and
that's
what
it
was
all
about
and
so
and
we
had
never
actually
ran
out
of
money
before
in
in
the
almost
eight
years
that
I've
been
sitting
at
the
table
this
this
last
time
was
the
first
time
we've
ever
had
that
situation.
A
F
A
B
F
C
Don't
know
what
other
options
the
thing
I
would
say
is
based
on
the
way
it's
been
handled.
Technically,
every
dollar,
that's
sitting
in
the
affordable
housing
program
to
use,
has
been
carryover
from
this
program.
So
the
one
point,
however,
many
dollars
million
dollars,
that's
sitting
in
there
came
from
this
program.
Correct
did
yeah
so
I
mean
that's,
that's
your
carry
forward,
so
the
the
discussion
we
can
have
is
we
have
to
put
a
number
associate.
We
can't
if
you
want
to
give
a
program
free
reign
and
give
it
a
blank
check.
I.
C
Think
that's
a
that's
a
scary
thing
to
do
right,
I
think
what
we
can
do
is
we
can
say
if
you
want
to
use
some
of
those
funds
that
we've
carried
forward
to
help
supplement
the
program
is
we
can
look
at
doing
a
transfer
to
make
that
happen
and
then,
as
we
do
like
mid-year
budget
amendments,
if
she's
getting
ahead,
we
can
always
move
money
back
over.
The
other
thing
to
remember
is
we're
also
going
to.
We
also
have
a
new
pot
of
fun.
That's
a
new
phone
set
of
funds.
C
That's
going
to
be
available
with
the
state
law
that
passed
and
I'll
get
into
that
in
a
minute
which
is,
we
can
now
use
up
to
15
percent
of
our
Accommodations
Tax
on
affordable
housing
projects.
So
we
can
have
that
conversation
if
we
want
to
use
that
to
help
support
more
of
what
we're
doing
with
our
affordable,
Housing
public-private
Partnership
and
let
those
funds
go
back
to.
A
But
next
year,
if
per
carryover
is
I,
don't
care
if
it's
twenty
dollars,
that's
a
you
know,
that's
helping
somebody
I
just
don't
want
the
affordable
housing
slide
to
show.
There's
all
this
money
to
go
toward
a
housing
project
when
we
know
good
and
well,
it
needs
to
go
to
Neighborhood
assistance
and
I
Mark
lost
over
that,
but
he's
not
here
anymore.
So
I'm
glad
we
all
know
it.
How
does
life
acquisition
carry
over
here
CIP?
E
Again,
when
that
fund
got
larger,
we
talked
about
last
time.
They
moved
a
million
dollars.
I
think
it
was
wasn't
it
recently,
because
the
problem
Lisa
is,
as
you
know,
is
if,
if
we
hadn't,
they
hadn't
created
the
the
CIP
for
housing,
this
number
would
be
1.4
million
dollars
right
now
or
something
like
that.
That
was
the
only
reason
it
ever
got
created.
E
A
D
Keep
it
not
necessarily
clearly
in
the
same
thing,
but
not
shortened
each
year,
funding
this
this
funding
the
same
amount,
no
matter
how
much
was
left.
You
know
if
there
was
a
balance
here,
don't
stop
funding
it
just
because
it's
sitting
at
fifty
thousand
dollars
continue
to
put
the
same
amount
in
every
year,
which
has
been
occurring.
The
same
amount
has.
C
D
C
F
It's
there,
but
but
it
can
easily
get
confused.
That's
what
I'm
afraid
of
I!
Don't
I
don't
want
housing
to
eat
it
up
because
matter
of
fact
you're
getting
ready
to
do
a
project
and
you
can
easily
get
confused
so
I
want
when
we
started
this
program.
This
program
was
supposed
to
stand
on
his
own
leg
and
and
that's
why
it's
important.
A
A
Maybe
it's
quarterly
to
see
where
she
is
I
worked
long
ago
with
a
business
and
dealt
with
federal
government
and
it
was
use
it
or
lose
it,
and
it
was
the
most
worthless
spinning
of
money
that
almost
like
hoard
items,
because
they
knew
the
next
year
you're
going
to
lose
it
and
I'm.
Just
not
a
fan
of
that
and
I
don't
want
Nikki
to
go
down
a
path
of
oh,
my
god.
A
I've
got
10
000
left
in
this
December
and
I
have
to
put
it
to
somebody,
and
you
know
she's
passionate
about
this
I
would
do
it.
I'd
find
people
in
applications
and
then
that
just
puts
her
in
a
really
bad
place
when
January
she
might
still
need
that
money,
but
then
or
whatever
the.
But
you
know
what
I
mean
crossing
over
a
budget
year
and
I.
Just
don't
want
to
put
her
in
that
position
because
it's
such
a
great
program
now
so
y'all
or
stead.
C
A
C
C
F
C
Else,
but
the
fund
balance
would
be
the
the
CIP
money
that's
sitting
there
could
serve
that
role
now
in
the
future.
If
we
need
it
because,
like
you
said
it's
but
I
said
we'll
we'll
look
into
it,
we'll
come
back
with
some
options
next
meeting
and
we
can.
We
can
dig
into
it
a
little
once
once
we
have
our
thoughts
better
and
give
you
all
some
options
that
that
are
supportive
of
what
you're
wanting
to.
E
Do
before
we
move
on
so
I'm
clear
because
again,
I
mean
I
I,
understand
what
we've
been
doing,
but
on
the
transfer
back
that
you
just
mentioned
a
minute
ago,
for
example,
if
we
needed
another
50
000,
you
could
go
over
to
the
CIP
housing
fund.
If
it's
a
large
number
which
it
has
been,
you
transfer
it
back.
I
guess.
The
question
in
my
mind
on
this
topic
would
be
what
do
we
project?
In
other
words,
once
the
actual
program
kicks
in
on
the
on
the
housing
side,
with
Mr
herb
curtisman?
E
F
C
Got
that
in
here
on
what
those
numbers
would
look
like
right
and
that's.
Why
I
think
we
have
the
option
to
visit
that
and
and
say:
okay,
if
we
want
to
designate
this
for
affordable
housing
and
actually
use
that
for
our
projects,
then
that'll
help
reduce
the
burden
or
what
we
may
need
from
that
CIP
to
free
it
up
to
support.
A
C
Then
I.T,
like
I,
mentioned
one
of
the
there's
a
half
position.
That's
going
into
I.T.
That's
raised
their
salaries
up
a
little
bit
for
that
part
portion
of
that
position
and
benefits,
and
then
they
have
just
some
operating
with
some
increases
to
you
know
how
software
is
once
you
get
in
them
every
year,
they're
going
to
increase
their
maintenance
and
operating
costs
you
every
year,
so
we're
seeing
those
Microsoft
all
those
kind
of
things
increase
year
over
year.
So
they've
got
some
of
those
in
there.
C
Legislative
Department,
this
is
y'all,
you
see,
keeping
no
increase
on
pay,
make
sure
we
say
that
publicly
and
staying
level
and
just
the
benefit
in
there
is
just
the
increase
that's
coming
in
from
the
increase
to
retirement
and
insurance
coming
from
the
state
and
then
operating.
We
have
elections
this
year,
so
we
have
to
put
in
there
for
election
expenses
to
be
able
enough
to
cover
a
runoff
and
the
election.
So
we
have
to
cover
two
elections.
C
And
then
Municipal
Court,
this
is
going
up
slightly
over
last
year,
just
based
on
increases
as
well
as
we
have
the
new
associate
judge
that
got
appointed
last
year
and
where
that
part-time
position
covered
the
salary
last
year,
we'll
have
to
cover
that
we'll
have
to
include
that
part-time
salary
for
this
year,
so
there's
a
little
increase
there,
but
the
benefits
are
down
because
we
took
that
part-time
to
two
or
that
full
time
to
two
part-time.
So
it
removes
the
insurance
and
all
Police
Department.
C
Here's
where
we
see
the
increase
from
the
SRO
positions,
it's
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
total
and
then
you
can
see
the
benefits
as
well
in
there
and
then
part
of
the
increase
in
operating
is
our
vehicle
lease
that
we're
continuing
forward.
It
goes
up
a
little
bit.
It
goes
up
year
over
year
as
we
get
more
vehicles
on
it.
C
C
Public
Services
increase
in
Pay
benefits
a
little
bit
and
then
operating
pretty
much
he's
keeping
you
know,
keeping
everything
running,
there's
no
new
positions
in
there
for
public
services
this
year,
as
we
get
closer
to
the
new
Riverside
Barn
coming
online,
and
if
we
start
moving
forward
like
what
we
brought
in
evercore.
He.
This
is
a
department
where
next
year,
we'll
probably
be
looking
at
some
new
positions
because
he's
going
to
need
them
to
be
able
to
maintain
the
parks
that
we're
adding
in
and
that
we're
constructing
throughout
the
town.
E
C
Actually
he's
fully
staffed
at
step.
Four
he's
got
one
part-time
person,
a
set
of
a
full-time
right
now
so
he's
he
just
hired
two
people
in
the
last
couple
of
months.
Very
good
and
Chris
doesn't
know
this
yet,
but
nothing
like
throwing
Financial
stuff
randomly
out
in
the
middle
of
meeting
for
Chris.
One
of
the
things
Derek
and
I
talked
about
is,
is
maybe
looking
at.
How
he's
got
that
part-time
position
he's
using
a
full-time
position
for
a
part-time
personnelist?
C
C
All
right
so
Derek
also
oversees
a
beautification
committee
work
plan.
You
can
see
one
of
the
new
items
that
they
added
in
for
this
year:
seasonal
planning
for
the
pots,
I,
don't
know
if
you
notice
that
all
of
our
potters
and
Planters
throughout
Old
Town,
they
completely
redid
them
this
year.
I'll
say
they
look
great
I'll
May
disagree,
but
I
think
they
look
a
whole
lot
better
and
they're
all
uniform
now.
C
So
he
added
in
for
the
beautification
committee
to
come
up
with
a
plan
to
replant
those
annuals
every
year
to
make
sure
that
they're
consistent
they're
all
the
same
that
they're
looked
nice
year
over
year,
foreign
town
wide.
This
is
where
we
do
our
residential
garbage
collection,
our
insurance
for
all
our
equipment
and
premiums.
This
is
where
our
Palmetto
Breeze
match
comes
from
our
reformed
reforestation
program
and
all
that.
C
F
C
It
phase
two
will
be
it
and
that's
that
we're
actually
marketing
it
out
in
RFP
right
now
asking
for
interest
to
develop
it
because
we're
carrying
a
lot
of
utility
tax
credits,
we're
carrying
and
carrying
the
CIP
project
forward
for
years.
So
we've
put
it
out
and
we've
asked
people
to
come
in
and
give
us
proposals
on
how
they
would
develop
our
pads
out
there
and
and
try
to
move
that
forward
as
quickly
as
we
can.
So
we
can
kind
of
get
some
of
these
things.
We're
holding
off
the
books.
C
So
special
Revenue
funds.
This
is
where
we'll
talk
about
some
of
the
changes.
Some
of
the
things
we
were
talking
about
earlier,
our
Hospitality
taxes,
two
percent,
that's
collected
in
all
prepared
meals,
food
drinks
throughout
the
town
and
and
so
for
fiscal
year.
24,
it's
estimated
to
make
about
3.8
million
dollars,
and
then
interest
is
just
minimum,
it's
better
than
it
was,
but
it's
still
minimum
in
a
fund
like
this.
C
Now
you
can
see
about
72
percent
of
it
gets
transferred
out
into
CIP
projects,
and
then
the
other
28
is
going
to
be
transferred
out
into
the
general
fund
to
offset
expenses
that
we
have
like
councilman.
Frazier
was
talking
about
earlier
for
police
at
events
for
cultural
activities,
for
things
like
that,
this
gives
you
that
breakdown
on
where
those
funds
are
going,
and
this
tells
you
some
of
the
funds
that
the
CIP
that
the
hospitality
funds
are
going
to
support.
C
C
Half
of
it
would
go
into
the
general
fund
to
offset
expenses
that
we
have
for
like
we
talked
about
with
our
police
that
go
out
and
support
events
that
receive
Accommodations
Tax
like
Mayfest
arts
and
seafood
and
stuff
like
that,
and
the
other
portion
would
go
to
the
CIP
and
I
think
we
were
proposing
to
use
it
for
the
interior
Renovations
for
Squire
Pope.
Is
that
right,
Chris
or
I'm?
Sorry,
the
interior
Renovations
require
Folk.
D
D
C
Going
to
be
absorbed
into
the
gym
right,
we
just
wanted
to
show
you
where,
where
it's
going,
to
support
other
priorities
throughout
the
town
right
right,
okay,
and
like
the
69
639
that
we
said
we
talked
about:
where
could
we
use
it?
We're
like
it
makes
sense
to
use
for
Squire
Pope.
That
doesn't
mean
that
it
has
to
go
to
square
pop,
it
go
into
CIP
and
we
can
use
it
for
any
project
that
ATAC
supports.
C
So
this
gives
you
the
revenue
side
of
it,
so
we
were
estimated
to
generate
about
1.6
million
dollars
and
local
Accommodations
Tax
for
next
year,
and
then
you
can
see
the
vast
majority
of
it,
as
we
mentioned,
goes
out
to
CIP
projects
and
then
a
little
bit
into
the
general
fund,
and
these
are
the
CIP
projects
that
the
local
Accommodations
Tax
are
supporting
in
next
year's
fiscal
year.
Next
year's
budget
foreign.
B
G
Great
application
in
front
of
the
federal
department
of
transportation
that
is
to
be
announced
in
June,
and
that
is
to
look
at
an
overall
pathway,
pedestrian
safety
study
not
only
for
the
historic
district
but
moving
up
along
goatee
Schultz
and
then
coming
up
in
a
study
area
into
Buck,
Island
simmonsville
as
well.
So
at
this
point
in
time,
we
haven't
moved
forward
waiting
on
that.
G
That's
a
two-piece
application
which
had
the
overall
study
and
then
could
go
into
actual
design
of
crosswalk
improvements,
the
engineered
design
phase
of
it
so
we're
at
a
standstill
right
now
for
another
month
on
it.
Our
plan,
then
one
way
or
the
other
will
move
forward
with
the
funding
that
we
currently
propose
for
pathway
and
pedestrian
safety
improvements
that
will
continue
phase
two
of
the
crosswalk
improvements
for
ADA
compliance
and
fiscal
year.
24.
G
we'll
move
forward
with
that
at
least,
and
then
we'll
put
on
what
we
can
through
our
Professional
Services,
focusing
on
more
comprehensive
traffic
safety
and
then
bring
those
forward.
I
would
say
would
probably
come
back
to
you
and
workshop
in
October
or
January
with
some
ideas
is
that
is
the
Hope
another.
B
Well,
that's
what
the
point
I
wanted
to
get
to
is
making
that
a
priority
I'm
glad
to
know
that
we're
doing
like
a
comprehensive
one
with
our
other
area
too,
but
that
area
is
just
becoming
increasingly
more
dangerous.
Just
coming
here
today
like
without
having
you
know
that
designated
signage
pedestrians,
just
walk,
Whenever,
However
and
I
witnessed
someone
almost
being
hit
just
in
coming
here.
So
it's
like.
We
have
to
to
do
something
there.
D
C
C
We
can
look
at
more
of
that
in
the
interim
until
we
get
to
design
and
and
because
the
thing
is
I
hate
to
go
out
and
make
an
investment
on
something
and
then
rip
it
all
up
when
we
do
the
streetscape
in
another,
you
know
nine
to
12
months,
but
we
can
always
look
at
temporary
like
we
did
like.
We
didn't
really
Splash
in
Life.
B
C
All
right,
so
this
goes
into
what
we
talked
about
in
the
first
reading.
We
put
a
little
bit
to
talk
about
how
we
calculated
what
transferred
into
the
general
fund
and
from
hospitality
and
the
local
accommodation
Stacks.
So
you
can
see
the
breakdown
per
Department
and
then
kind
of
the
methodology
that
Chris
followed
when
he
calculated
that
below
it.
C
So
if
we're
putting
on
an
event
and
staffs
having
to
do
it,
then
technically
a
portion
of
me
is
supervising
staff
that
is
supervising
that's
involved
in
it.
So
we
can,
we
can
account
for
something,
that's
indirect
direct,
would
be
the
police
being
down
there.
Actually
shutting
roads
down,
that's
a
direct
cost.
Indirect
is
HR
having
to
hire
the
police
and
train
them
and
maintain
them
to
make
sure
they
can
be
down
there
to
do
that.
They
may
that
may
be
0.2.
That
may
be
two
percent
of
their
overall
cost.
C
When
you
have
events
like
Mayfest
arts
and
seafood
that
get
Accommodations
Tax
support
the
police,
the
cost
for
covering
for
the
police.
For
that
event
is
now
here
and
we
don't
have
to
Grant
it
to
them
and
then
turn
around
and
pay
it
back.
So
it
just
cuts
out
that
that
step
within
for
these
kind
of
events,
like
that
I
think
that
makes
perfect
sense
to
me
so
we'll
get
into
stormwater
next
I
think
we
all
know
what
the
stormwater
fund's
for
it's
one
of
our
favorite
ones.
C
It
protects
the
water
and
Water
Resources
The
Watershed,
and
make
sure
that
we
control
the
water
as
it
flows
throughout
and
stays
clean,
so
this
recommends
keeping
our
utility
our
stormwater
utility
fee.
The
same.
This
just
gives
you
a
comparison
of
those
around
us.
Hilton
heads
a
little
low
beaufort's,
a
little
higher
Hilton
head's
higher
just
to
give
you
where
the
fees
are
throughout
the
county.
C
C
So
you
can
see
stormwater
utility
fee.
This
gives
you
the
breakdown
of
how
that
works
or
the
numbers
that
are
associated
with
the
percentages
you
saw
and
how
that
change
is.
So
you
can
see
the
stormwater
utility
fee
where
we
talked
about
those
new
fees.
We
show
like
a
thirty
seven
thousand
dollar
increase.
C
C
C
G
C
It's
been
about
20
years,
so
this
will
give
us
a
good
Baseline
to
say
here's
what
we
look
like
a
little
over
20
years
ago.
Here's
where
we
are
now.
How
are
our
programs
working
you
know,
are
we
are
we
what's
out
there
compared
to
where
we
were
and
are
we
do?
We
need
to
make
any
changes
or
are
we
doing
well
continues
to
support
our
drainage
and
ditch
maintenance
that
we
perform?
C
C
This
will
give
us
not
only
where
we
are
now,
but
how
we're
looking
in
the
next
10
20
30
years
and
what
may
be
areas
that
are
going
to
be
impacted
in
the
future,
so
we
can
make
plans
on
how
to
better
address
it
and
then
again
it
supports
our
partnership
with
USC
board
for
the
water
quality
and
microbial
Source
tracking,
where
they
do
the
the
lab
analysis
for
us.
We
do
the
sampling,
they
give
us
the
results,
and
then
it
supports
our
debt
payment
for
our
geo
geo,
Bond,
So
speaking
of
debt.
C
This
takes
us
to
our
last
fund
for
tonight,
The
Debt
Service
fund.
This
is
where
we
account
for
the
accumulation
of
our
payment
of
interest
in
principle
on
our
long-term
debt
obligations.
Thank
you.
We
are
limited
on
what
we
can
bond
for
our
general
obligation
against
our
general
fund
at
eight
percent
of
our
estimated
assessed
value.
So
you
can
see
we
can
Bond
up
to
our
debt
limit
is
about
seven
and
a
half
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
26
A
little
over
26
million
the
debt.
We
have
that's
applicable
to
the
limit
for
fiscal
year.
C
As
you
can
see,
that
represents
our
debt
limit
actually
going
up
because
assessed
value
went
up,
but
you
can
also
see
we
pay.
We
have
about
400
000
Less
in
payments
based
on
payments
that
were
made
in
our
principal
being
reduced
on
our
debt,
so
the
amount
we
because
that's
based
on
our
principle
of
our
debt-
that's
out
there.
C
So
these
are
our
debts
that
we
carry.
We
have
two
Geo
bonds.
We
have
one
that
we
did
for
that's
being
paid
by
stormwater
utilities
and
that's
going
to
support
a
lot
of
these
sewer
projects
that
we're
undertaken,
and
we
also
have
another
one
that
was
used
for
the
law
enforcement
center
back
in
2010.,
and
you
can
see
that
on
the
right.
It
shows
the
amount
of
principal
and
interest
that
we'll
pay
for
fiscal
year
24,
which
means
that
the
outstanding
debt
will
be
reduced
by
that
principal
amount
that
we
have.
C
And
we
have
two
tax
increment
Finance
bonds,
one
we
did
in
December
of
2005
January
2006,
where
we
issued
10
million
and
4
million
to
do
Bluffton
the
Hampton
Parkway,
as
well
as
some
streetscape,
and
then
sewer
projects,
the
one
that
we
issued.
This
current
fiscal
year
is
being
used
for
the
new
Riverside
Barn
project
to
support
its
completion
and
escalate
the
schedule
for
getting
that
done.
So
you
can
see
both
of
those
are
highlighted
in
blue
for
our
Tiff
bonds
and
those
are
set
to
expire
when
the
Tiff
district
is
set
to
expire.
C
C
G
Yes,
sir,
once
we
get
going,
it
shouldn't
be
terribly
long,
we're
working
through
what
the
final
submittals
need
to
be
to
be
for
Jasper
for
their
pre-construction
meeting
to
turn
off
the
loose
turn
loose.
The
contractor,
our
hope
is
that
by
late
summer,
meaning
probably
mid-july
late
July,
that
Zeke
will
be
out
on
site
and
then
it
shouldn't
it
should
not
be
long.
It
should
be
for
the
end
of
the
calendar
year.
C
Same
thing,
we
talked
about
earlier:
that's
the
development
of
our
pads
two
and
a
half
million.
That's
where
the
rest
of
that
is
yes,
sir.
It's
supposed
to
go
for
the
construction
of
all
that
parking
and
everything
back
in
there,
as
well
as
the
horizontal
for
the
pad
Construction
infrastructure
and
everything.
That's
part
of
that
Economic
Development.
C
D
C
On
on
that,
one
we
haven't
spent
I,
don't
think
we've
spent
anything
out
there,
because
I've
been
here
so
I'm,
ready
to
like
I,
said
ready
to
move
it
forward,
one
way
or
the
other
all
right.
So
this
takes
us
to
our
fund
balance.
This
shows
you,
our
fiscal
year,
22
our
fiscal
year
estimate
for
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year
for
23..
C
So
you
can
see
we're
looking
at
the
general
fund
going
up
slightly,
but
the
hospitality
tax
is
exceeding
expenditures
right
now,
so
it
and
local
accommodations
and
all
that
looks
like
it's
caring
forward
exceeding
our
Revenue
estimates
and
as
anticipated,
to
grow.
That's
where
again,
we
can
have
some
conversations
on
the
new
law
with
the
15
for
the
local
accommodations
fund.
How
we
want
to
address
that
and
we'll
now
that
we
know
that
that's
coming
we've
been
approved.
We
can
look
at
that
as
we
prepare
some
conversation
for
next
meeting.
D
H
So
so
just
explain
a
little
bit
on
the
slide,
so
the
fy23
estimate
is
basically
saying
in
a
lot
of
these
funds.
We
have
projects
that
these
dollars
are
for
or
expenses
that
these
properties
are
for
just
they
haven't
been
completed
so
like
the
CIP
program,
a
lot
of
that
there
are
projects
that
are
out
there
that
are
already
being
planned
to
be
executed.
So
what
fy24
column
is
saying
is:
if
we
do
everything
we
say
we're
going
to
do
for
next
fiscal
year,
we're
all
spent
down
those
dollars.
G
C
Won't
know
until
it's
just
like
what
happened
with
buck
constant.
We
projected
that
to
be
done.
Last
fiscal
year,
Well
we
ran
into
an
issue
with
the
contractor.
It
took
12
months
to
get
it
rewarded,
and
here
we
are
so.
This
is
an
estimate
if
they,
if
they
do
everything
that
they
feel
think
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
get
done.
If
the
schedule
runs
as
it's
supposed
to
be,
that's
where
we
would
be
no.
C
We
can
always
hope
and
dream,
but
yes,
based
on
past
history,
We're
Not
Gonna,
you
know
we're
probably
overestimating
foreign,
so
we
also
have
some
fund
balance
policies
that
we
like
to
keep
one
is
our
emergency
Reserve
fund,
which
is
15
of
all
budget
expenditures,
which
is
8.8
million.
We
have
our
unassigned
Reserve
fund,
which
is
30
35
of
all
budgeted
general
fund
expenditures
which
is
9.3,
and
then
we
have
our
Capital
asset
Reserve
fund,
which
is
50
of
the
total
annual
depreciation
up
to
the
maximum
of
the
most
recent
five
years
of
depreciation.
C
So
for
fiscal
year,
24,
that's
estimated
to
be
about
630
thousand
dollars,
so
this
exceeds
our
essential
levels
of
fund
balance
Reserve.
So
we're
in
a
healthy
position
and
I
will
say
this
fund
balance
policy
that
y'all
adopted
last
year,
Chris
actually
and
Heather,
were
just
the
gfoa
conference.
Chris
gave
a
presentation
on
it
and
we
also
wanted
one
of
three
national
awards
for
this
policy
that
we
adopted.
So
it
is
a
strong,
while
very
highly
recognized
policy
that
y'all
put
into
place
to
make
sure
financially
long
term.
C
C
A
few
things
at
the
state
level
that
may
impact
that
we're
keeping
an
eye
on
bills
and
budget
items
as
284
was
signed
by
the
governor
and,
as
we
talked
about
that,
allows
up
to
15
percent
of
your
state
and
local
Accommodations
Tax.
That
number,
that
is,
there,
is
what
15
of
our
of
our
budget
would
be
for,
based
on
estimates
for
fiscal
year,
24
that
can
go
for
affordable
housing
projects.
So
that's
a
little
short
of
about
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
C
Help
better
it's
better
than
what
we
had
before.
No
doubt
they
were
going
to
allow
Hospitality
tax,
but
that
got
taken
out.
If
we
could
have
done
15
of
hospitality
tax,
then
that
would
have
been
a
significant
number.
The
key
to
remember
is
right
now
we're
using
a
lot
of
the
state
and
local
to
go
to
support
CIP
projects,
so
this
would
be
potentially
a
good
source
for
say
our
affordable
housing
CIP
project.
C
But
if
we
start
taking
away
to
use
for
other
programs,
then
it
may
impact
the
schedule
at
which
we
can
accomplish
some
CIP
projects.
So
it's
a
balancing
act,
but
it's
some
things
again.
We
can
talk
about
as
we
continue
to
see
our
local
accommodations
and
our
state
accommodations
stay
at
a
high
level.
C
It
gives
us
some
things.
It
gives
us
some
hope
that
we
can
use
this
for
projects
or
for
priorities
that
we
have
funding
requests.
Y'all
know
about
a
lot
of
these,
but
we've
put
in
for
a
lot
but
500
000
crisps
got
for
to
go
to
our
tour
projects.
I
think
we
may
have
already
spent
that
before
we
even
got
it.
We
did
get
the
5.29
million
for
the
state.
Bjwsa
actually
got
that
and
we're
working.
You
saw
the
press
release
on
that
we're
working
to
get
the
contract
fertilized
and
move
that
forward.
C
There
was
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
Appropriations
for
the
police
department
in
the
state
budget
and
there
were
two
million
for
the
new
Riverside
trail
in
the
state
budget.
We're
monitoring
that
to
see
whether
it
gets
through
now
that
they're
in
conference
committee,
I'm,
hoping
we'll
know
something
by
the
first
next
week
and
then
there's
also
three
million
to
support
the
Regional
Housing
Trust
Fund.
That
was
in
there
as
well.
So
we're
watching
that
to
see
if
it
comes
through
and
then.
D
E
H
C
We
looked
back
at
what
he
had
funded
within
the
state
previously,
and
we
submitted
a
couple
things
that
lined
up
with
his
priorities
in
in
the
president's
priorities
and
one
that
we
put
in
for
was
police
equipment
based
on
the
new
radios
they're.
Transferring
out
body
cameras
stuff
like
that,
and
the
way
we
found
out
that
we
made
his
cut
and
was
actually
in
his
recommended
budget
was
by
a
news
story
that
showed
up
in
our
news
feed.
We
didn't
hear,
we
didn't
hear
it
from
him.
C
C
The
state
level
sets
money
for
affordable
housing,
but
it's
to
go
towards
project
like
construction
projects.
It's
one
of
those
things
I
know
Vicki
is
looking
into
a
couple
to
apply
for
to
look
for
grants
for
affordable
housing,
but,
at
the
same
time
we're
also
pushing
the
Buford
the
Housing
Trust
Fund.
For
some
of
these
that
are
going
to
go
towards
regional-wide
construction
or
programs
that
they
need
to
be
approaching
these
as
well.
We're.
F
F
F
C
So
a
couple
other
bills
that
may
have
impacts
on
the
town
that
we're
watching
may
not
be
budgetary
may
be
budgetary,
but
one
is
there's
a
house
bill.
That's
going
through
they're
trying
to
push
it.
It's
stuck
in
committee
right
now,
which
would
prohibited
municipality
from
enacting
an
ordinance
that
stops
the
rental
of
residential
dwelling
to
a
short-term
guest.
C
Some
of
the
language
that,
in
there
is
in
there
is,
can
be
interpreted
to
say
that
we
can
no
longer
set
regulations
around
them,
which
means
that
we
may
not
be
able
to
say
how
many
you
can
have
where
they
can
go.
What
the
regulations
are
about
it.
We
might
be
able
to
still
collect
our
fee,
but
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
necessarily
regulate
right
now.
There's
a
grandfather
clause
in
there
that
says
that
if
you
have
something
before
this
is
adopted,
it
may
get
to
stay,
but
we
wouldn't
necessarily.
C
If
we
went
back
in
to
change
it,
we
may
run
into
issues
down
the
line,
so
we're
monitoring
that
there's
been
several
towns
that
have
gone
and
spoke,
including
mayor
Murray
from
Beaufort
Hilton,
Head,
Mount
Pleasant,
several
others
that
have
gone
up
and
spoke
at
the
committee
and
fail
and
and
trying
to
make
this.
Let
let
it
let
local
rule
home
rule
control
what
we
do
with
short-term
rentals,
but
so
we're
monitoring
that
to
keep
up
in
case
it's
going
to
impact.
What
we've
done
on
short-term
rentals
well,.

The
other
one
is
sentencing
enhancements
for
persons
who
commit
certain
additional
crimes
on
pre-trail
pre-trial
release
on
bond.
So
this
is
for
you
know
you
get
into
a
situation
where
somebody
may
get
arrested
for
domestic
violence
high
and
aggravated.
Will
they
get
out
on
Bond
and
while
they're
out
on
bond,
they
go
and
do
domestic
violence
high
and
aggravate
it
again.
C
So
we
were
just
watching
that
we
don't
know
how
it
may
affect
our
court,
because
we
don't
do
a
lot
on
those
kind
of
charges,
but
we
do
issue
some
bonds,
so
we'll
have
to
keep
an
eye
on
that.
Just
see
how
it
may
affect
our
court
operations
if
it
gets
passed,
so
just
a
couple
things
in
the
hopper:
they
didn't
get
past
this
year,
but
everything
that's
in
the
hopper
for
this
year
will
be
considered
next
time
they
go
into
session
in
February.
So
it's
still
in
play.
C
C
and
then,
where
we
are
in
the
process,
this
wraps
up
budget
Workshop
one
unless
there's
any
additional
questions
or
things
that
we
want
to
discuss
and
then
we'll
get
into
budget
Workshop
2
on
Tuesday
at
five
we
will
have
the
chamber
DMO
here
to
talk
about
what
they're
going
to
do.
Chris
and
I
will
do
some
research
and
conversation
to
come
back
on
the
com,
some
of
the
items
we
talked
about
tonight
and
then
we'll
get
into
the
CIP
projects.
At
that
point
in
time,
I.

The
conversation
that
you
and
you
Chris
and
I
had
before
about
looking
at
possible
incentives
to
food
and
beverage
establishments
on
who
would
be
using
like
compostable
items,
whether
it
was
through
some
type
of
thing,
similar
to
what
Arbor
did
where
they
like
present
receipts
or
whatever,
and
get
like
a
cop,
or
something
for
that.
If
we
could
explore
ideas
on
living
items
like
impossible
items,
you
know,
as
we
talk
about.
