We

With

all
that

do

as
we
meet
here
today
and
as
we
pray
amen.
D
A
Agenda
is
receive
any
changes.
D
Request
for
approval
the
person
who's
made
that
request
asked
for
it
to
be
removed.
E
One
other
note
is
the
public
hearings
that
were
scheduled
by
the
little
country.
Council
of
government
I
think
they
made
a
mistake
and
advertised
it
for
6
P.M
for
the
public
hearing.
So
we
were
gonna.
We're
gonna,
monitor
that
and
try
to.
A
A
To
sign
in
well
she's,
not
here,
we
don't
have
assignment
I.
Have
it
already:
it's
sitting
out
there,
here's
a
sign-in
sheet
it
this
public
Hearing
in
Michelle
Knight.
We.
D
Have
done
a
lot
of
our
projects
for
a
lot
of
middle,
a
lot
of
modern
income
families.
F
A
A
But
before
that,
let's
let's
move
to
a
document
agenda
versions
or
a
second
any
discussion,
all
in
favor
say
with
saying
aye
opposed.
Thank
you
and
we
have
a
one
small
executive
session
item
which
we'll
go
to.
Is
there
a
motion
to
go
into
executive
session
for
personnel
matters,
everybody
and
Associate
credit
appointment?
That's
for
you,
34.70
A1
sure
any
discussion
all
in
favor.
A
A
Crazy
schedule
right
now,
I'll
talk
about
it
with
those
of
you
in
here
good
evening.
We
are,
we
need
it
for
when
we
have
executive
session,
we
need
to
talk
when
we
don't
expect
yourself,
I.
Think
it's
very
confusing
it's
confusing
to
me.
So
it
has
to
be
confusing
cold
pressed.
Everyone
else
was
in
the
background
you
pulled
for
it.
Yes,
I
think
we
should
keep.
These
means
whether
we
have
executive
session
or
not,
I
think
it's
just
too
confusing
to
go
up
an
hour,
because
the
goal
is
not
to
have
executive
session.
G
Hours
and
you
have
an
executive
session-
starts
at
five.
A
lot
of
people
are
still
going
to
be
sitting
here
at
length
of
time.
Is
it
not
something
we
couldn't
judge?
In
other
words,
make
the
time
five,
but
if
you
have
a
very
heavy
agenda
and
you
speculate
that
it's
going
to
go
a
while
that,
maybe
you
make
executive
session
come
in
that
particular
month,
early.
H
G
H
A
Urgent,
that's
going
on,
like
we
had
10
years
ago,
when
there's
so
much
development
was
going
on.
So
we
just
need
to
trim
down
our
agenda
right.
We
do
have
a
lot
we're
doing.
Udits
I
mean
we
have
a
python
right
right
now.
Next,
three
months,
some
of
those
we
can
put
in
the
workshop
we're
gonna
talk
about
two
meetings.
A
month.
Remember:
I,.
A
I
I'll
roll
with
the
flow
whatever,
but
I'd
look
back
at
the
last
first,
eight
years
or
so
I
was
here
and
the
reason
we
changed
it.
Four
o'clock
was
because
it
was
10
o'clock
getting
through
and
when
we
go
into
executive
session
most
of
the
time
these
items
that
we're
discussing
sometimes
I
need
a
lot
of
conversation
tonight.
I
It
didn't
and
when
you
sit
out
here
for
three
or
four
hours
and
you
go
in
there,
everybody's
kind
of
burned
out,
you
know
and
not-
maybe
not
as
sharp
I
know,
I'm
not
once
I've
sat
here
for
three
hours
since
I
would
be
at
the
beginning,
so
time
wise,
I,
don't
care
whichever
you
want
to
put
it
on
the
front.
We
had
it
on
the
back
before
everybody.
G
A
D
J
A
A
There
was
action
there
will
be
action
from
the
executive
session.
It's
regarding
the
appointment
of
an
associate
judge.
Is
there
a
motion
to
appoint
James
Andrew
Smith
as
the
associate
judge
to
work
under
Judge
Bush,
the
contract
would
be
signed
by
our
town
manager
and
our
faults
were
to
keep
it
concurrent
with
the
time
frame
that
Judge
Bush
Defender,
which
started
in
January
to
keep
that
contract
within
the
same
time
frame
of
three
years.
Is
there
a
motion?
K
A
We
can
go
through
minutes
the
minutes
from
December
13th
2022.
Did
anyone
see
any
changes
that
need
to
be
made.
A
Now
this
is
where
we
wiggle
around.
Who
is
here
we
can
do
the
Martin
Luther
King,
the
student
of
the
month.
E
A
Agreement
update
not
here,
you
can
do
it.
You.
E
A
Do
that,
and
we
can
just
do
that:
Martin
Luther
King
Proclamation-
that
in.
A
A
And
through
the
town,
well,
it's
Juneteenth
which
the
town
made
up
holidays,
there's
some
great
information
on
the
site:
Bluffton
MLK,
owned
activities
and
I.
Don't
have
it
on
my
calendar,
but
we
have
a
what.
F
D
A
A
Watton
to
be
a
Texas
10th
of
January
2023.,
please
look
on
our
site
and
we'll
get
social
media
out
about
Monday.
L
B
J
A
J
M
D
J
A
contract
you
know
that's,
we
know
how
much
residential
we're
going
to
get,
how
much
commercial,
what
the
public
dedications
are,
and
things
like
that.
However,
with
that
said,
comes
time
to
time,
there
can
be
amendments
to
those
agreements.
For
example,
Palmetto
Bluff
was
the
only
amendment
to
the
development
agreement.
We
did
this
past
year
in
terms
of
the
docs.
Now
sometimes
you
know
we
hear
92.
So
if
there's
eight
percent
that
lies
outside
of
the
development
agreement,
so
that's
under
a
hybrid
of.
J
Where
the
walk
subdivision.
J
The
Buck
Island
simmonsville
neighborhood
plan
the
areas
that
are
covered
by
that,
as
well
as
the
goathy
Schultz
neighborhood
plan
and
some
other
little
pockets
here
and
there,
but
and
all
of
that
you
can
see
for
the
public
that
is
here
and
watching
online.
We
do
have
our
permit
finder
map
that
we
continue
to
refine
and
update
to
make
sure
that
all
of
those
developments
and
the
where
they
are
in
the
perfect
process
shows
up.
So
we
continue
to
kind
of
add
more
and
more.
J
D
J
That
information
is
there
on
the
website,
that's
a
little
bit
harder
to
say
where
we're
at
with
terms
of
build
out,
because
since
that's
form-based
code,
it
really
is
the
flexibility
of
the
developer
under
guidelines.
But.
J
We
know
what
we
have.
One
thing
I
do
want
to
highlight
and
something
that
you'll
hear
different
in
the
coming
years
is
if
I
were
to
zoom
in
here.
Just
give
me
an
example
on
the
expiration
dates:
the
development
agreements,
the
first
one
is
getting
ready
to
expire
in
2024,
and
that
is
Bluffton
Village.
So
that's
where
the
library
is
on
Bluffton
Road,
so.
J
All
the
specifics,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
we
are
already
looking
into
that.
Essentially
the
the
base.
Zoning
does
not
change
so
until
an
unless
Council
rezones
it
it
still
will
remain
planned
development.
However,
what
we'll
be
doing
in
the
next
year
and
a
half
is
to
make
sure
that
all
the
obligations
of
the
development
agreement
have
been
met.
So
is
the
developer
done
everything
that
they
laid
out?
For
example,
some
of
the
other
agreements
have
connections,
interconnectivity,
that's
shown
or
public
space.
That's
dedicated,
and
things
like
that.
J
J
Labruz
to
kind
of
outline
what
what's
next,
because
this
will
be
the
first
one
that
actually
is
ready
to
expire
you'll,
see
too
these
dates.
Some
of
these
dates
are
really
far
off
the
longest
of
which
is
2057
for
Palmetto
Bluff
and
the
Schultz
tract,
and
that's
one
in
part,
because
the
state
essentially
put
a
stop
clock
Timeout
on
all
permits
and
plans
when
the
economy
kind
of
slowed
down
a
bit.
So
they
really
took
that
out
of
our
hands
and
just
stopped
all
permits
and
plans
for
a.
D
D
J
Been
talk
about
doing
that
again
because
of
covid,
but
I
don't
believe
they
did
that
so
we're
carrying
on
as.
A
J
Believe
they
could
do
that
at
any
time
if
the
state
decides.
So
we
do
monitor
that
and,
like
I
said,
that's
how
we
knew
about
the
covid
potential,
but
as
far
as
I
know,
that
has
not
been
enacted
or
approved
at
this
point.
J
So
but
that's
really
nothing
that
we
can
do
when
the
state
says
it's
on
hold
they're
on
hold
and
then
we
just
again
make
sure
that
we've
acknowledged
that
and
move
forward,
but,
like
I
said
the
first
one's
Village
or
first
ones
left
in
Village,
which
right
now
they're
at
78
build
out.
So
there
is
still
some
commercial
left
to
be
used.
They
may
choose
not
to
build
it,
they
don't
have
to,
but
that
is
what
they
they
could
essentially
build
a
little
bit
more
out
there
and.
I
J
D
A
Helped
us
with
that
was
that
McNair
that
helped
us
was
it.
N
I
J
Went
looked
at
the
state
law
and
the
development
agreement
act
and
they
really
don't
speak
to
what
happens
after
it
expires.
So
it's
silent
on
that.
What
we've
again
our
stand
is
that
the
bay
zoning
still
would
say
plan
development,
so
the
uses
would
still
be
the
same
uses
that
were
approved
as
part
of
the
agreement,
but
they
would
have
to
follow
the
current
code.
E
G
N
Over
the
next
18
months
to
try
to
figure
out
exactly
where
we
are
so,
we
will
be
prepared
mid-summer
of
24
without
positioning
and
iron
out
as
hard
as
we
can
I.
F
N
Staff
is
well.
N
Issues
we've
been
talking
about
them
and
we
will
continue
to
talk
with
the
municipal,
Municipal
Association,
other
land
use
lawyers
and
we'll
we
will
do
what
is
right.
Legal
and
fair.
A
J
A
D
J
All
right
so
scroll
down
before
you
show
that
summary
here.
N
J
A
F
D
D
J
We've
got
some
time,
but
the
first
two
that
we're
really
going
to
concentrate
on
is
Bluffton,
Village
and
then
Village
of
verdier,
which
are
two
of
the
smaller
development
agreements.
So
at
least
they're
a
little
bit
more
manageable
to
figure
out
where
we're
at.
As
far
as
that
goes.
J
We've
already
started
talking
about
it
figuring
it
out,
so
that
we're
not
you
know
a
month
out
trying
to
figure
out
what
that
means.
So
we
should
be
well
prepared
and
be
able
to
well
inform
all
the
property
owners
and
the
developers
of
what
their
clear
expectations
are
moving
forward.
So
that's
awesome.
J
But
just
kind
of
I
know
I
kind
of
went
through
some
of
the
sheets.
J
Lot
of
information
and
numbers
in
there
A
lot
of
it
was
presented
and
given
to
you
at
strategic
planning.
We
try
to
keep
a
handle
on
that.
What
I
will
say
is
that
we
are
starting
to
slow
down
in
terms
of
our
pace
of
how
quickly
the
developments
are
being
built
out.
So
last
year,
when
I
was
before
you,
we
were
at
52.
F
J
On
WE
tweak
the
data,
depending
on
what
we're
trying
you
know,
just
those
details
that
we're
trying
the
story
that
we're
trying
to
tell
we
didn't.
Have
it
broken
down
in
percentages
prior
to
2020,
which
we
certainly
can
can.
J
G
J
And
what
we've
done
now
is
we
keep
track
of
those
two
different
statistics,
so
you'll
see
here
and
I'm
just
zooming
in
so
you
can
see
the
heading
of
what
we
do
track.
We've.
J
And
then
the
NXT
that
are
held
by
the
development
rights
Bank
by
the
town
and
then
also
the
utilize,
the
utilize
is
what
you
may
not
see
in
the
actual
built
environment.
That's
what
you
see
on
paper
so.
F
J
Are
subdivisions
and
lot
lines
that
are
already
done,
so
that's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
different,
but
yes,
you're
correct,
so.
H
J
Could
do
is
show
you
we
could
do
a
report
that
shows
CEOs
or
the
certificates
of
occupancy
that
have
been
issued.
So
that's
something
that
I
can
break
out.
So
maybe
maybe.
D
D
J
J
B
J
J
That's
all
I
had
can.
A
I
brought
this
up
with
Stephen
just
I
know.
This
is
all
happening
and
I
think
it's
good
we're
getting
a
handle
as
we
get
closer
and
we're
gonna
have
a
little
bit
of
a
break
but
I
think.
A
D
D
A
J
A
I
F
G
A
We
is
everyone
up
to
date
on
these
and
all
we.
M
D
A
That's,
okay,
that's,
but
we
have
we're
kind
of
playing
around
with
our
agenda
so.
D
A
Moving
to
the
workshop
I.
P
So
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
y'all
and
then
pass
it
over
to
Glenn
for
some
technical
information.
Just
as
a
reminder
in
general,
the
Sarah
Riley
hooks
property
is
on
the
contributing
sources
in
the
historic
district
and
purchased
by
the
town
in
December
28th
of
2020.
P
We
came
to
you
in
November
of
last
year
and
began
to
initially
discuss
during
strategic
planning
potential
uses
that
Council
might
see
fit
for
both
the
structure
itself,
as
well
as
the
property,
and
we
use
that
feedback
to
go
ahead
and
create
a
public
survey
that
was
distributed
in
paper
at
the
Arts
and
seafood
festival
in
October,
and
it
has
been
online
since
then.
As
of
this
morning,
we
have
had
138
responses
online
and
it's
still
active
if
folks
want
to
give
more
input
to
that.
P
P
What
we're
seeing
as
priorities
are
flexible
use,
open
lawn
space
as
well
as
Boardwalk
potential
Boardwalk
access
to
ug
code.
So
this
starts
to
inform
us
from
a
staff
perspective
and
having
that
discussion
with
you,
what
potential
uses
do
we
really
see
for
the
property
so
that
we
can
properly
assess
it
and
go
ahead
and
make
sure
that
we've
got
those
uses
available
to
us
as
we
come
up
with
a
design
and
Engineering
plans?
P
And
to
that
end,
this
is
when
we
engage
our
cohort
across
the
hall
with
London's
historic
preservation
is
to
say:
okay,
what
should
our
next
steps
be?
And
at
that
point
in
time,
knowing
that,
since
we've
taken
it
into
possession,
we've
been
doing
periodic
sap
assessments
of
the
property,
there's
been
some
minor
minor
work
done,
obviously
in
stabilizing
the
grounds
to
keep
them
secure
as
far
as
vandalism
and
that
kind
of
thing,
as
well
as
roof
tarping.
And
what
have
you
that
Derek's
team
has
been
taken
care
of
as
we
move
forward.
P
Come
and
give
you
an
overview
of
what
the
findings
are,
because,
depending
upon
your
direction,
our
next
steps
and
our
cost
estimates
that
we're
going
to
develop
are
going
to
be
dependent
upon
where
you
would
like
staff
to
take
this.
So
at
that
point,
I'm
just
going
to
bounce
a
virgin's
presentation
and.
A
While
you're
doing
that
there
are
people
that
came
in
we
got
out
of
these,
you
know
keep
on
it.
We
got
out
of
the
executive
session
early,
but
we
also
knew
some
the
student
of
the
month
and
presentations
people
didn't
expect
to
be
your
class,
so
we're
going
to
go
through
this
and
then
we're
going
to
jump
back
so
we're
kind
of
playing
games
just
making
the
best
use
of
everyone's
I
apologize,
but
we
haven't
forgotten
anyone
we
are.
A
We
are
on
items
Workshop
item
12,
which
is
the
Sarah
rally
hooks
update
good
evening
good
evening.
So.
Q
The
background
information
about
the
resource
known
as
the
Sarah
Rodney
hooks
Cottage,
located
at
number
76
Bridge
Street,
just
to
remind
you,
it
is
part
of
the
local
Old,
Town
Bluffton
historic
district.
That's
the
local
designated
region,
that's
shaded!
In
green
on
the
map.
It's
highlighted,
for
you
is
number
16..
It
is
not
part
of.
Q
To
remind
you,
we
have
a
new
or
fairly
new
definition
of
what
a
contributing
resource
is.
This
is
something
that
you
all
adopted.
Last
year,
resources
any
building,
structure,
site,
object,
feature
or
open
space
as
designated
by
Town
Council.
That
adds
the
historic
association's
architecture,
qualities
or
archaeological
values
that
relate
to
the
documented
significance
of
a
historic
district.
Contributing
resources
are
shown
on
the
map.
I
just
showed
you
has
approved
and
amended
by
Town
Council
foreign.
Q
To
give
you
some
clarification,
aerial
view
of
the
property
highlighted
in
red
on
Bridge
Street
and
joining
the
cove
I.
Q
Some
photographs
since
on
the
historic,
preservationist
I
love
old
photographs,
the
resource
was
first
surveyed
in
2001.
This
was
shortly
before
Sarah
Bradley
hooks
passed
away,
so
she's
still
in
Residence.
At
this
time
in
the
house,
the
house
was
re-surveyed
as
part
of
the
2008
survey.
Q
Q
Q
Q
This
is
the
side
of
the
building
where
the
chimney
is
so,
as
as
Kim
mentioned,
we
had
meters,
go
out
and
do
a
report.
Their
summary
is
based
on
the
findings
of
the
report.
The.
Q
Of
the
rear
Edition,
it's
not
feasible
that
rear
Edition
is
not
deemed
to
be
historic
and
we're
contributing,
and
that
was
a
later
addition
has
extensive
amount
of
structural
damage,
observed
significant
portions
of
the
roof
wall
and
floor
framing
exhibit
conditions
that
are
Beyond
repair.
That's
due
to
incentive
exposure
to
the
elements,
hence
the
rooftart
and
an
active
termite
infestation.
Q
Q
Based
on
this,
the
staff
was
making
the
following
recommendations
to
demolish
the
non-historic
northern
half
of
the
structure,
which
is
not
contributing
and
what
we
call
multiplying
the
historic
Southern
half
of
the
structure
until
preservation
plans
are
complete
and
the
structure
is
ready
for
rehabilitation.
This
is
going
to
include
things
like
stabilization,
further
protection
from
the
elements
and
for
staff
to
continue
to
monitor
the
current
condition,
I
open
to
any
questions
or
comments
that
you
might
have
you
know.
Q
I
can
only
say
that
the
I
said
that
when
I
first
looked
at
it
before.
I
I
I
N
P
D
F
P
All
the
great
details
clearly
on
what
it
would
take
to
come
up
with
the
with
the
conceptual
plans
and
the
engineering
final
designs.
But
are
we
headed
in
the
right
direction
and
in
thinking
of
reflecting
the
community's
highest
use
that
more
open
space
on
the
lawn?
Perhaps
picnic
flexible,
use,
open
lawn?
If
it's.
P
P
That
the
building
potentially
could
be
used
for
ancillary
Park
use,
additional
restrooms
classroom
and
Museum
interpretive
Center
recognizing
each
of
those
not
only
have
building
implications,
but
then
also
long-term
use
implications
for
Staffing
operations.
That
kind
of
thing.
So
before
we
go
herding
cats,
we
wanted
your
input
to
see
what
direction
you'd
like
us
to
start
going
on.
G
Q
D
G
Yeah,
the
only
other
question
I
have
is
this
is
just
a
personal.
F
D
G
It's
like
when
you
have
a
historic
building
from
Through,
My,
Lens
I
think
it's
always
great.
If
we
can
find
a
use
of
whatever
the
use
may
be
where
people
can
go
inside
the
building,
I
I
always
get
heartburned.
You
know,
we've
got
the
garden
of
army
house
and
nobody
goes
in
that,
often
to
my
knowledge
and
then
I
know
when
Mr
Marx
was
building
I'm
going
to
work
on
the.
G
That
was
my
only
comment
to
him
was
please:
whatever
you
do,
whatever
retail
application,
you
may
have
at
least
make
it
something
to
the
public,
cannot
just
walk
on
the
exterior
and
look
at
the
building,
but
come
inside
and
see
what
it
was
at
the
time.
That's
as
much
history
as
you
can
get
right
there.
So
I.
F
Q
F
H
Well,
we
we're
talking
kind
of
shyly
about
them,
percentage
that
we
might
be
able
to
preserve.
I
have
a
different
opinion.
I
think
we
should
try
and
replicate
what
was
there
and
not
think
about
what
what
we
lost.
Let's,
let's,
let's
build
back.
What
was
there
and.
E
B
A
A
A
And
I
just
hadn't
seen
water
here
so
I,
don't
even
I,
don't
even
know
how
to
get
out,
but
think
of
that
I
think
those
residents
are
beautiful,
all
around
front
and
back
are
here
and
we're
going
to
have
another
venue
for
parties
and
alcohol
and
bands
and
I
would
caution
personally,
let's
head:
let's
err
on
the
side,
Notch
trash,
just
everything
it.
F
A
A
Whatever
it's
going
to
be
down
the
road
we're
gonna
have
non-profits
we're
gonna
have
people
that
can
help
us
with
tours
one
day
right
now.
We
just
don't.
We
have
the
Hayward
house
and
we
have
us.
We
have
a
Garvin
Garvey
house
that
never
gets
showed
so
I
think
we're
evolving
into
more
groups.
That
would
want
to
in
mind
so
passive.
Don't
forget
family
history,
we've.
I
I'd
like
to
add
on
I
agree,
it
doesn't
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense
to
me
to
spend
fifty
thousand
dollars
or
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
mothballing.
I
You
know
documenting
what
is
there,
how
it's
built
and
get
all
that
instead
of
spending
tons
of
money
to
say
something
that
we're
going
to
put
in
a
dumpster
I'd?
Much
rather
see
you
know,
I
mean
if
we're
going
to
tear
it
down
and
build
a
reconstruct
it
yeah.
I
E
A
I
I
D
P
P
E
Can
have
the
conversation
about
financing
for
that,
but
we
need
to
have
meters
or
whoever
come
in
and
help
us
figure
out
what
that's
going
to
look
like.
So
we
don't
take
that
portion
off
and
do
damage
to
more
damage
to
others.
So
there's
going
to
be
some
some
work,
that's
going
to
have
to
be
done
there
before.
We
know
exactly.
A
I
Historical
story,
the
story,
not
the
structure,
I
mean
the
story
of
the
structure,
but
not
the
value
of
the
structure.
As
far
as.
Q
Q
Q
D
P
Think
so
definitely
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
forward
with
the
immediate
infestation.
Obviously
we
need
to
do
that
regardless
and
we'll
work
with
motors
to
get
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
what
might
be
salvageable.
What
could
potentially
go
into
future
uses
and
we'll
come
back
and
workshop
with
us,
perhaps
in
April
and.
P
H
We
know
we
have
serious
Financial
commitment
to
reconstruction,
so
all
these
other
ideas
and
Concepts
what
to
do
with
the
rest
of
the
property
should
be
secondary
to.
L
A
D
A
A
This
month
and
we
had
executive
sessions,
but
again
it
was
usually
longer
than
normal.
This
time
it's
shorter
than
normal,
so
we
kind
of
played
around
our
agenda
a
bit
because
we
've
everyone
here
that
wanted
to
be
here
to
listen
to
some
certain
presentations.
So
we
are
going
to
try
to
get
back
to
normally
go
back
to
presentation,
celebrations
and
recognition.
So
they
see
the
principle
of
you.
F
D
A
A
A
Yes,
no
one
back
here
does
whatever
yes,
so
the
student
of
the
month,
I
always
say
this
because
they're
just
amazing,
gosh
an
administrator
ago
put
together
the
student
of
the
character
trade,
a
very
big
focus
on
character
development,
so
each
cluster
ours
is
the
largest
and
I
can't
even
guess
how
many
now,
probably
15
or
16
000
kids
from
the
middle
Elementary
to
high
school,
can
all
nominate
a
student
and
so
Esther
you're
part
of.
D
A
Crowd
when
you're
one
Middle
School
of
three
and
we
have
two
high
schools
and
we
have
six
seven
Elementary,
so
it
all
bundles
up
and
each
of
the
Clusters
gets
a
student
a
month.
So
you're
one
of
the
only
clusters
we
have,
but
we
think
ours
is
the
most
important
which
is
blocked
in
you
have
been
picked
from
all
of
this
to
be
here.
A
So
we
like
celebrating
yes
and
we
think
it's
very
important,
so
your
trait
was
courage
and
tolerance
and
your
principal
took
the
time
out
of
her
night
out
of
her
super
busy
day.
She's
so
proud
of
you,
oh
dear
hello
principal,
so
you
stood
out
amongst
them
with
that
trait.
So
who
wants
to
talk
about
that?.
F
And
has
met
that
head-on,
trying
to
make
sure
he's
on
very
little
with
his
peers.
He
still
has
to
go
out
occasionally
in
the
USC,
but
he's
not
scared
of
that.
He
knows
it.
He
faces
it
and
he's
really
bold
about
saying
that
I've
been
what
I
can
and
cannot
do,
and
so
he
has
taken
on
the
fact
that,
while
he's
young
he's
going
to
face
a
battle,
he's
gonna
win,
so
that
courage
is
one
that
I
think
a
lot
of
adults,
but.
A
A
A
D
E
So
we
give
out
challenge
coins
to
young
men,
just
like
you
who
are
brave
and
courageous,
and
so
anywhere
you
go.
We
don't
give
them
out
to
too
many
people
so
anywhere
you
go,
you
can
take
it
out
and
show.
F
F
A
A
A
A
A
We
have
is
the
chamber:
ready,
are
y'all
ready?
Next,
we
have
the
presentation
of
our
design
marketing
organization,
they
don't
have
locked
in
Chamber.
L
Yeah
well
good
afternoon,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Ariana
pernice
and
I'm
with
the
Hilton
Nevada
Island
Bluffton
Chamber
of
Commerce
I'm.
Here
to
present
our
quarterly
report,
happy
New,
Year
kind
of
feels
a
little
short
after
all
of
that,
so
Asher
was
quite
incredible,
so
kudos
to
him
and
all
his
fights
ahead.
So
if
I
can
I
will
move
quickly
through
July
through
September.
L
Perfect,
thank
you
awesome.
Well,
thank
you
again.
So
I'm
just
quickly
through
we're
going
to
do
July
through
September
and
we're
going
to
start
with
our
paid
media
Partnerships,
we
were
excited
to
talk
about
the
town
of
Bluffton
and
through
that
we
did
a
partnership
with
gardening
gun.
It
was
a
digital
platform
effort
promoted
through
social
media
and
their
Talk
of
the
South
e-newsletter
that
ran
through
July
through
September.
L
L
So
it
was
it's
kind
of
an
extended,
extended
piece,
but
we
actually
had
the
print
ad,
the
social
media,
as
well
as
the
digital
article
there.
So
again,
we
continue
to
have
great
Partnerships
on
the
paid
side
of
efforts
and
we're
seeing
great
results
for
those.
So
once
we
have
the
numbers
Italian
on
the
local
pout,
we'll
be
able
to
share
those
coming
up.
L
When
you
look
at
how
we're
doing
overall
with
heads
and
beds,
you
know
we
look
at
that
as
a
three-month
snapshot.
And
what
we're
doing
here
is
you
know
really
tracking
towards
that
September
time
frame
where
we
see
things
really
pick
up
from
a
tourism
perspective.
But
if
we
look
at
what's
what
we
like
to
call
kind
of
the
piece
that
that
really
seals
in
is
that
the
rate
or
Revenue
per
available
room
is
actually
up
1.6
percent
year
over
year
within
that
September
time
frame,
which
is
a
really
nice
to
see.
L
But
we
haven't
necessarily
grown
occupancy,
so
we've
been
able
to
hold
occupancy,
not
grow.
It
necessarily
but
demand
a
higher
rate
from
our
visitors,
which
is
great
so
we're
keeping
that
in
perspective
and
trying
to
grow
responsibly
into
the
beds
that
have
been
allotted
here
for
the
town
of
Bluffton.
L
When
you
look
at
how
we're
bringing
people
to
the
destination
to
understand
all
that,
we
have
to
offer
here
in
the
town
of
Bluffton,
we
look
at
it
through
kind
of
that
digital
front
door,
and
so
we
have
our
social
media
efforts
where
we're
really
the
goal
of
really
gaining
followers
in
those
platforms
of
Facebook
and
Instagram,
and
we
they
love
a
great
shot
of
the
May
River
or
of
activities
going
on.
So
you
can
see
some
of
those
pieces
here.
L
People
are
engaging
and
it's
been
great
to
see
the
efforts
through
the
social
media
as
well
as
our
vacation
planner.
Our
paid
media
efforts,
as
well
as
our
digital
efforts,
have
really
LED
people
to
the
website.
The
Standalone
Bluffton
website
has
done
really
well.
This
is
the
first
time
we're
reporting
year-over-year
results.
As
you
know,
we
had
a
year
under
our
belt
just
a
bit
ago,
so
we're
actually
able
to
Showcase
how
well
it's
done.
L
We've
worked
in
Partnership
for
quite
some
time
to
have
that
Standalone
platform
available
to
our
partners,
as
well
as
to
those
who
are
interested
in
learning
more
about
Bluffton
and
making
it
their
trip
for
travel.
So
what
you
can
see
here
is
under
sessions.
That
means
how
many
times
people
are
coming
to
the
website
to
visit
was
up
year
over
year
by
52
percent
and
then
the
most
important
pieces.
Are
they
doing
something
when
they
get
to
the
website,
and
they
absolutely
are
here.
L
We
see
that
they're
actually
clicking
out
to
all
of
those
businesses
and
partners
that
we
have
listed
on
the
website
and
that's
that
45
year
over
year.
So
it's
really
great
that
they're
coming,
but
are
they
doing
something
and
absolutely
they
are
so
it's
great
there's
an
average
of
20
events
held
between.
L
As
well
as
865
active
participants
within
those
events,
I'm
not
going
to
read
them,
but
you
can
see
them
listed
here.
It
was
a
pretty
busy
July
through
September
time
frame
with
lots
of
ribbon
headings
and
events
held
throughout
the
that
time
frame.
L
So
we've
talked
a
little
bit
about
earn.
Excuse
me
about
paid
media,
we're
going
to
talk
about,
earned
media
and
that's
again
where
it's
more
relationship
built
again,
we're
not
by
any
means
paying
for
these
efforts
in
public
relations,
you're
keeping
relationships
up
on
the
other
side,
with
editors
and
really
working
to
have
those
articles.
Hopefully
they're
fitting
for
the
destination
be
brought
to
life,
and
here
you
can
see
for
the
July
through
September
time
frame.
L
That
was
done
quite
well
with
40
placements
about
the
destination
which
really,
if
you
had
to
go
out
and
buy
that
which
you
wouldn't
do
it
is
the
84
184
000
there
that
you
would
have
to
pay
for
that,
and
that's
not
what
we
did.
L
So
you
can
see
here
that
over
the
course
of
time,
July
through
excuse
me
for
the
time
frame
that
I'm
reporting
on
July
through
September,
that
we
had
of
just
the
official
Bluffton
vacation
planner
over
5000
requested
and
at
the
combined
effort
of
the
we
had
over
18
000.,
so
all
in
all
a
very
successful
quarter.
Thank
you
for
having
me
I'll.
Take
any
questions.
If
there
is
any
questions.
A
Just
a
reminder
on
the
planner:
we
are
keeping
the
section
for
businesses
to
be
business,
all
business
licenses
in
the
town
that
fit
your
sections.
We
are
continuing
and
looking
at
least
not
here,
but
but.
L
Working
closely
on
all
of
that,
yes,
so
the
town
has
been
and
locked
up
with
us
along
the
entire
way,
reporting
updates
and
opportunities
that
come
by
we
check
in
with
Steven
and
his
team
to
understand.
I
can
rely
on
my
partner
Kayla.
L
A
Yeah
great,
thank
you
so
much
see
a
student,
so
we
will
move
on.
Is
everyone
here
well
yeah,
so
item
five
in
our
presentations?
Is
the
annual
Palmetto
Bluff
development
agreement
update?
This
is
a
Heather
did
it
earlier.
We
have
an
annual
requirement
of
active
groups
and
development
agreements
to
come
in
and
do
an
update
and
a
helmetal
block
has
the
most
active
group
and
our
others
are
done
by
Heather.
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
dated-
and
we
don't
know
where
all
those
people
are
so
will
good
evening.
Hello,
good.
O
O
Okay,
so
yeah
we're
here
for
our
annual
development
agreement,
update
all
right
and
thank
you
for
having
us
happy,
New,
Year,
Happy,
New
Year,
so.
O
Entry
in
Department
of
Loft,
you
can
see
that
may
River
Chapel
in
the
background
pictures
of
the
South
Street
Partners
here,
Chris,
Randolph
and
Patrick
Melton
were
unable
to
attend
tonight,
but.
F
O
Let's
start
with
real
estate
sales
department
of
Bus
Sales
that
that
were
closed.
Obviously
2021
was
just
you
know
almost
anomaly.
As
far
as
the
real
estate
sales
2022
started
fairly
strong,
but
seemed
to
taper
off
in
the
last
probably
two
quarters
as
far
as
overall
sales.
O
Even
that
being
said,
though,
I
would
have
left
managed
to
have
315
million
in
sales
in
2022.,
so
we
were
still
again
we're
turning
up,
except
for
that
anomaly
of
2021.
and.
M
O
Automotive
Bluff
sales
closed
so
again,
205
closings
in
2022,
but
you
look
at
the
price.
The
the
average
price
per
home
or
property
was
that,
obviously
up
because
we
were,
if
you
go
back,
we
weren't
far
off
315
million
with
205
closings
versus
391
million
in
2021,
but
we
had
372
closings
came
with
their
CEOs.
I
actually
got
an
update
on
this
slide
after
we
put
the
presentation
together,
we
added
two
cos
today
so
as
of
today,
we
are
at
902
for
the
number
of
CEOs
issued
within
500
block.
O
O
We
are
preparing
our
subdivision
applications
so
that
we
can
plant
those
for
release
here
shortly
and
we
anticipate
submitting
for
a
subdivision
by
the
end
of
January.
O
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
an
additional
81
lots
that
block
him
for
the
Moreland
forests
that
are
actually
in
the
permitting
stage
with
town
we
are
currently
under
stormwater
review
and
after
we
receive
our
storm
water
review,
then
we'll
submit
our
final
plan
for
approval
so
that
we
can
get
those
81
Lots
permitted
for
release
as
well.
O
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
a
and
we'll
get
into
it
a
little
bit
further
with
the
Montage,
but
we
we
are
expanding
the
existing
granted
residential
product
that
that
is
across
the
street.
If
you
will
from
from
the
Montage,
we
have
amended
that
approved
development
plan
to
add
eight
additional
lots
and
we'll
be
building
those
homes.
Once
once
we
get
our
final
approval
using
our
time
out
of
bluff
Builders
program,
we
have
a
conditional
permit
for.
O
We're
just
waiting
on
CCC
with
with
the
state
to
give
us
our
final
permit
and
then
we'll
we'll
move
forward
with
developing
those
eight
additional
homes
in
the
Branded
residential
product,
I'm
sure,
all
of
you,
anyone
that
has
visited
recently.
We
have
so
many
people
that
visit
Palmetto
Bluff
just
to
eat
at
Buffalo's
and
it's
been
closed
for
some
time
now.
Under
renovation,
we
are
anticipating
a
mid
to
late
February
reopening
of
we
invested
over
a
million
dollars
in
the
renovation
for
coming
up
for
buffaloes.
O
The
shooting
Clubhouse
I've
got
some
information
and
some
slides
on
that.
But
we
finished
construction
of
a
new
Clubhouse
for
the
shooting
club.
We
also
upgraded
the
course
we
have
actually
separate
courses.
Now
we
have,
we
call
the
members
Loop.
We
have
a
super
sport,
any
of
you
that
are
into
shooting
it's
a
different
format.
O
You
get
a
shooting,
we've
got
six
stations
of
Sporting
Clay
Super
Sport.
We
have
a
fee
task
course:
we've
added
an
archery
range,
we've
added
trap
and
skeet
now,
and
then
we
have
six
additional
stations
that
we
kind
of.
We
call
our
are
like
club
like
for
the
Montage
visitors
who
may
not,
you
know,
be
very
active
Shooters,
maybe
first-time
Shooters.
We've
got
six
nations
that
are
set
up
more
towards
the
beginning
shooters.
O
Another
project
that
I
am
very
active
in
right
now
is
our
nine
hole
golf
course.
We
were
recently
permitted
through
the
town
to
begin
construction,
and
we
are
currently
clearing
and
grubbing
and
stuffing
and
getting
ready
for
a
golf
course
design
build
team,
King,
Collins
they'll
be
coming
in
to
do
to
start
their
Earth
moving
and
shaping
of
the
golf
course
by
by
the
end
of
mid
to
end
of
February
they'll
be
on
site
and
I've
got
some
additional
slides.
O
We
would
move
into
the
presentation.
Arborina
is
actively
under
construction.
The
the
50
slips
that
we
have
permitted
under
our
Marina
permit
of
of
those
50
slips.
We
currently
have
all
of
the
floats
have
been
installed.
Larry
I,
don't
know
I'm
sure
you're
up
there
once
or
twice
a
week
of
the
New
River,
but
you
can
completely
so
we
have
all
the
floats
installed.
O
They
have
all
piles
are
driven
for
the
floods
and
we
will
be
finishing
the
the
pier
head,
so
we
have
all
of
the
the
precast
piles
are
driven
for
the
peer
head.
We
have
all
the
pile
caps
are
in
place
and
by
the
end
of
the
month,
we'll
actually
start
setting
all
the
concrete
panels
to
build
the
formal,
pierhead,
Florida
marina
itself,
we'll
get
into
a
little
bit
further.
O
Now
that
we
have
actually
received
your
blessing
to
develop
an
agreement,
amendment
to
move
forward
with
dry
stack
storage
on
Big
House
Island,
they
can
judge
you
with
Maria
we've.
Actually
We've
engaged
a
Consulting
team
to
start
a
design
on
the
dry
stack
and
we're
working
on
site
layout
for
Big
House
Island
on
how
we
can
do
that
in
addition
to
our
nine
hole
golf
course
we
have
the
Anson
what
we're
right
now,
just
referring
to
as
the
Hanson
18-hole
golf
course.
O
We
have
engaged
and
consulted
and
a
golf
course
architect
there
is
that
just
public
knowledge
now
more
or
less
well.
Well,
everyone
knows
we've
engaged
consulted,
but
we
have
it
we're
not
really
releasing
details
on
who
we're
working
with.
Yet,
but
we
are
we're
excited
to
move
forward
and
have
another
golf
course
in
our
portfolio
and,
lastly,
the
Palmetto
Bluff
builders
that
we
touched
on
in
our
update
last
year.
O
Currently
have
we
have
five
houses
under
construction,
the
Palmetto,
Bluff
Builders,
two
of
those
have
already
sold
and
I
believe
they
sold
in
10
days
of
release,
and
we
currently,
if
I,
only
have
500
construction.
We
have
two
more.
You
know
we
have
to
go
through
the
same
dot
process
for
for
those
homes,
just
like
any
other
home
builder.
We
have
two
more
that
are
in
the
kind
of
design
Improvement
stage
that
will
be
starting
soon.
O
Do
you
have
anything
to
that
kind
of
hard
to
see
here
at
this
point,
you're
still
working.
O
Maybe
yeah
so
just
this
is
an
outline
as
you
can
see
all
of
our
development.
You
know:
we've
got
Wilson
Village
in
Moreland,
River
Road
that
have
all
been
built
out
and
now
we're
we're
starting
to
move
South
towards
Moreland
and
then
down
to
Anson
big
house
Island.
O
O
Didn't
bring
this
up,
but
in
association
with
the
nine
hole
course
we're
actually
expanding
our
Inland
Waterway
to
allow
anyone
with
a
boat
and
like
a
electric
boat
on
the
Waterway
would
be
able
to
access
our
knighthole
course
via
both
should
they
should
they
choose
to
do
so.
O
One
of
the
large
projects
that
we
have
that
it
will
be
a
almost
multi-year
project
once
we
get
permitted,
is
our
actually
marketing
what
we're
for
the
marketing
road
to
Hanson
right
now,
our
access
to
ants
in
the
big
house
island
is
through
the
the
gravel
rock
roads
that
we
will
use
primarily
for
construction,
but
we're
going
to
build
a
a
new
road
to
Hanson
and
big
house
Island.
O
That's
in
the
permitting
stages,
we're
in
the
storm
water
review
for
that
as
well,
and
we
anticipate
projected
to
have
our
permit
in
March
to
April
of
this
year.
That's
the
yellow
line.
Yes,
so
that
line
takes
us
branches
off
just
before
Moreland
Forest
and
winds
all
the
way
down
through
areas.
What
we
refer
to
as
stayus
all
the
way
down.
M
O
We'll
be
pulling
that
South
as
we
go.
We
actually
installed
overhead
power
to
The
Big
House
Island,
so
that
we
have
power
for
the
marina.
We
installed
that
along
the
construction
road
it
it
will
go
underground
once
we
get
to
Big,
House
Island
and
then,
as
we
build
our
way,
North
out
of
big
outside
then
we'll
pull
that
underground
power
up
north
and
loop,
it
all
together
somewhere
in
the
middle.
O
O
Concept
plan
of
the
the
shooting
club
and
what
I
was
talking
about
is
we've
refined
this
Loop,
of
course,
now
we've
upgraded
the
landscape
and
we've
upgraded.
The
shooting
stands
we
have
put
in
the
Super
Sport
course,
which
is
the
six
stations
run
right
along
here,
and
then
we
have
the
additional
Club
course
that
we
have
a
little
easier
setup
for
some
beginning,
shooters,
We've
added
track
and
state.
O
We
have
an
archery
range
now
we
have
a
feed
test
scores,
so
that
has
was
a
tremendous,
a
lot
going
on
in
that
shooting
club
that
nobody
was
aware
of
almost
until
it
was
finished
and
they
think
yeah
and
it
just
turned
out
great,
updated
the
clubhouse
we
now
have
retail
available
within
the
clubhouse
retail
clothing
shelves.
Obviously
I
believe
we
are
at
Beretta
dealer
now.
What's
the
program
referred
to
actually
right.
D
But
yeah
we,
we
are
a
full
Beretta
dealer
and
have
all
their
clothing
products
available
in
the
clubhouse.
O
Here's
our
nine-hole
golf
course
that
we're
so
excited
about.
What's
going
to
be
so
unique
about,
this
is,
as
you
can
see,
we're
going
to
create
that
the
blue
is
the
Inland
waterway
that
we're
going
to
expand
up
to
the
north
to
allow
water
access
to
the
course,
and
we
have
the
course
right
now
that
elevation
is
about
elevation
25..
O
The
elevation
in
the
Inland
Waterway,
the
water
elevation
is
set
at
10
and
a
half.
So
that's
going
to
allow
that
Designer.
He
actually
is
going
to
make
some
pretty
severe
cuts
to
get
down
to
that
elevation,
and
then
it's
going
to
use
all
of
that
that
cut
to
fill
and
make
all
of
these
large
verbs
and
damage
that
you
see
some
of
them
up
to
Elevation,
50
plus.
O
So
here
you
know
in
the
whole
country
we're
going
to
have
quite
a
bit
of
elevation
change.
We've
had
a
small
amount.
You
know
within
that
50
acre
parcel
the
other
very
unique
thing
about
this,
and
it's
hard
to
see
here,
but
this
is
will
actually
be
designed
as
a
reversible
route,
so
it
could
play
you
can
play
clockwise
one
day.
One
through
nine,
you
can
play
clock
clockwise
one
day
and
then
to
mix
it
up.
If
they
choose
to
do
so,
they
can
actually
route
it
and
play
it.
Counterclockwise.
O
Montage
residential:
this
is
a
picture
of
one
of
the
existing
one
of
their
existing
homes
in
the
Resident
Montage
residential
program
and
we're
going
to
be
adding
eight
additional
homes
and
extending
the
Great
Lawn
in
between
the.
O
Renovation,
just
a
few
pictures
of
what
we're
doing
inside
the
we've
actually
added
a.
O
Inside
it's
just
it's
it's
really.
It
was
gutted
to
the
to
the
studs
and
completely
redone
kitchen
was
completely
upgraded.
New
electrical
new
grease
grease
trap.
All
new
kitchen
equipment
there's
been
a
redesign
of
the
bar
and
the
interior,
so
we
are
all
extremely
excited
for
that.
Reopening.
G
M
O
Again,
Builders
five
homes
under
construction,
two
more
in
the
pipeline
and
I
mean
big
plans
for
that
build
a
cell
product.
They
have
taken
off
and
they're
doing
doing
great
I'm
sure
all
of
you
are
interested
in
the
Montage.
O
2021,
even
though
their
occupancy
was
down
just
a
little
bit
from
from
a
year,
the
Year
previous
they
did
introduce
mayor
I,
know
you've
been
to
the
bus
to
the
coffee
shop.
I.
Think
I
asked
you.
If
you'd
been
out
there,
I
was
going
to
take
you
for
a
cup
of
coffee
sitting,
guard
him
in
there,
but
no
I,
don't
think
so.
That's
not
funny.
So
we
have
Dave
the
Montage
within
the
river
house.
They
opened
Buzz
coffee
shops,
I
have
not
been
there.
O
They
opened
a
a
new
Speakeasy
downstairs
in
the
old
wine
cellar
and
the
River
House
Restaurant
and
all
of
those
have
been
too
far.
O
Increased
their
Village
home
participation
from
to
54
from
40
from
the
previous
year,
and
it
looks
like
they
caught-
are
slowly
catching
up
on
all
the
missed
weddings
and
from
the
during
the
closures
of
covid,
because
they've
hinged
to
have
a
record
85
weddings
on
property
last
year,
atacs
that
that
Montage
paid
to
the
town
of
Boston
1.82
million
dollars.
A
M
One
comment
I
didn't
want
to
mention
because
I
know
it
came
up.
Last
year
we
are
holding
another
town
hall
at
Palmetto.
G
To
believe
you-
and
we
had
asked
also
about
our
mobile
Town
Halls
at
some
point,
and
that's
staff
will
be
calling
you
about
that.
We
would
love
to
entertain
it,
and
that
was
that's
just
across
the
board
or
a
way
to
get
to
know
the
town
better.
Absolutely
another
question.
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
A
F
A
I
A
A
Excited
to
see
what
you're
gonna
bring
to
you,
so
thank
you
very
much
and
I
won't
tease
you
about
your
dancing.
We
do
have
Martin
Luther,
King
holiday
Monday.
Please,

sign-in
sheet.
Oh,

a
sign
of
sheep
outside
and
it
is
for
our
next
item,
which
is
going
to
be
the
the
information
from
A
Low
Country
Council
governments.
A
It
just
goes
on
and
on
so
please
sign
on
that
sheet,
because
it
gives
Michelle
the
ability
to
say
this
is
how
many
people
were
here
tonight.
Please,
please,
No,
One's
Gonna
call
call
you
just
please
sign
it
before
you
leave,
especially
after
public
after
this
information,
so
we
are
ready
for
our
public
hearing.
D
A
A
B
Out
back
here,
we
are
here
tonight
for
the
2023
needs
assessment,
public
hearing
for
the
town
of
Bluffton.
This
program
statement
is
literally
hot
off
the
press.
We
got
it
yesterday.
Gonna
do
our
normal
advertisement.
B
If
anyone
from
town
staff
or
Town
Council
has
someone
approach
them
to
tell
them
that
they
feel
or
to
tell
you
that
they
feel
they
have
been
discriminated
against
in
the
sale
and
Rental
of
Housing
and
real
estate
resident
residential
real
estate
transactions
are
in
the
provision
of
brokerage
services.
B
They
can
call
us
at
Lowcountry
Council
of
governments,
and
we
will
take
their
information
and
forward
it
on
to
the
appropriate
groups
regarding
the
matter
so
that
it
can
be
investigated.
If
need
be.
B
This
year,
low
to
moderate
income
for
Beaufort
County.
All
of
our
community
development
block
grant
projects
have
to
benefit
a
majority
of
low
to
moderate
income.
People
are
addressed
a
slum-like
situation
or
address
an
urgent
need
for
Beaufort
County.
As
of
June
2022,
a
four-person
family,
their
income
would
have
to
be
under
69
350
a
year
to
be
income
qualifying.
That
number
will
go
up
or
down
based
on
the
number
of
people
in
the
house
and
for
2023.
B
We
are
expecting
to
receive
across
the
state
19.7
million
dollars
in
cdbg
funds
for
the
South
Carolina
Department
of
Commerce
to
divide
Out
Among.
Basically,
three
major
programs,
the
action
plan
that
I
mentioned
that
was
hot
off
the
press.
B
The
comment
period
for
it
is
from
yesterday
until
February
7th
of
this
year.
All
comments
should
be
submitted
to
Lisa
Ross.
Her
email
address
is
here
in
the
presentation,
as
well
as
her
mailing
address.
B
If
there
are
things
that
you
think
maybe
need
to
be
considered
for
that
action
plan
that
aren't
in
it,
we
certainly
encourage
you
to
provide
written
comments
and
also,
if
you
would
like
to
go
to
a
public
hearing
at
the
state
level,
they
are
having
one
on
January
25th
at
2PM
at
the
South
Carolina
Department
of
Commerce
offices,
that
is
at
1201,
Main,
Street,
Suite,
1600
and
I.
Think
it's
going
to
probably
be
on
the
15th
floor,
but
they
are
in
a
public
hearing
for
this
program
statement.
B
The
community
development
program
will
have
the
Lion's
Share
of
that
19.7
million
dollars,
and
they
basically
have
four
set-asides
well
actually,
five
set
of
sides
that
you
can
pursue
different
types
of
projects.
In
the
first
set
aside,
the
community
infrastructure
there's
10.9
million
dollars
available
in
that
application
request
deadlines
are
March,
17th
and
application.
Full
deadlines
are
April
17th.
This
is
our
water
sewer,
drainage,
roads,
project
of
which
Bluffton
has
utilized
tremendously
in
the
past.
B
There's
a
maximum
amount
of
one
million
dollars
that
you
can
apply
for
now
under
this
program
and
waivers
can
be
looked
at
under
certain
circumstances
in
that
program
to
up
that
Max
even
further
Community
enrichment
has
three
million
dollars
set
aside
for
it.
This
is
our
fall
facilities
set
aside
our
application
request.
Deadlines
are
August
15th
and
our
full
deadlines
are
September
15th.
B
Basically,
in
this
program
there
are
three
state
priorities
that
they
look
at.
One
is
increasing
economic
competitiveness.
The
second
priority
is
addressing
education
and
Workforce
Development
issues,
and
the
third
priority
is
to
address
safe,
safe
and
healthy
communities,
and
some
of
the
things
that
are
listed.
There
are
examples
of
the
types
of
priorities
that
we
can
do:
Under
the
types
of
projects
that
we
can
do,
Under
the
set-aside.
So
we
could
look
at
things
like
streetscape.
We
could
look
at
demolition
of
what
we
call
White
Elephant
buildings
that
are
owned
by
public
entity.
B
We
could
also
do
demolition
of
residential
structures
that
are
considered
attractive,
nuisances
that
are
vacant
under
this
program:
fire
substations
fire
trucks,
libraries,
a
number
of
facility,
type
ish
projects.
The
maximum
funding
here
is
750
000.
That
is
an
increase
from
last
year,
which
is
probably
a
long
time
coming
due
to
construction
issues
because
I
there
are
not
many
buildings
that
you
can
do
now
for
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
have
it
been
for
a
long
time,
then
our
next
set
aside
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
local
priorities.
B
There's
one
million
dollars
allocated
here.
This
is
what
used
to
be
special
projects.
They
basically
renamed
this
and
our
priorities
here.
Their
fall
deadline
request
again
August
and
September,
but
our
priorities
here
are
to
look
at
Economic
Development
priority
or
projects
or
things
that
support
economic
development
that
aren't
eligible
under
the
business
development
program
and
then
there's
also
public
health
and
safety
type
projects.
We
can
still
do
sidewalk
projects
under
this
set
aside.
We
can
still
do
some
historic
preservation
under
this
set
aside.
B
The
new
thing
that
they've
added
in
here
is
this
resiliency
and
narrowing
the
digital
digital
divide
and
that
I
think.
Basically,
we
haven't
given
been
given
a
lot
of
instruction
or
Direction
about
that,
but
I
think,
basically
what
they're
looking
for
there
is
trying
to
bring
Broadband
into
rural
areas
that
may
not
have
access
to
that
now.
B
Our
next
set
aside
I
want
to
talk
about,
is
neighborhood.
Revitalization.
This
again
is
a
fall
deadline.
You
actually
have
a
project
like
this
right
now
that
we're
going
to
do
a
public
hearing
on
to
close
and
hopefully
do
our
monitoring
tomorrow
and
wrap
this
up.
So
with
this,
you
have
to
have
a
comprehensive
plan
for
a
neighborhood.
That's
within
walking
distance
of
a
commercial
center
like
your
goat,
Peak,
Schultz
neighborhood
is
we
address
multiple
activities
and
it
could
be
Water
and
Sewer
or
drainage
infrastructure.
It
could
be
sidewalks
lighting
cameras.
B
We
could
use
some
minor
housing
repair,
meaning
purchasing
material
for
you
to
work
on
the
exterior
of
the
house
with
a
non-profit.
We
can
do
Demolition
and
clearance
of
dilapidated
or
vacant
properties.
There
are
attractive
nuisances
and
we
can
use
a
small
portion
of
that
money,
possibly
if
it's
recommended
in
the
plan
to
address
public
services,
so
maybe
have
a
crime
watch
program.
That
kind
of
a
thing
maximum
for
this
set
aside
now
is
750
000.
B
It's
gone
up
since
y'all
receive
money
under
the
said
side,
and
the
main
reason
for
that
is
that
we
found
that
the
infrastructure
components
of
these
projects
tend
to
be
very
expensive
and
as
such,
if
you
have
a
water
or
sewer
knee,
you
typically
use
all
of
the
money
toward
that
and
you
don't
have
the
option
to
do
other
activities
which
the
goal
is
to
do
multiple
activities
in
the
in
the
project.
B
Non-Competitive
program,
basically,
you
can
pursue
anything,
that's
listed
under
Community
infrastructure
or
Community
enrichment.
The
idea
being
behind
this
that
you've
got
everything
done,
but
for
having
a
check
that
you
could
start
work
within
60
days
of
a
grant
award.
So
you've
done
your
environmental
review,
You've
Done.
All
of
your
acquisition
you've
done
all
of
your
due
diligence.
Getting
your
permitting
your
bid
plans
together.
That
kind
of
thing
and
the
project
typically
is
something
that
cannot
wait
till
a
regular
competitive
funding
round.
B
Under
the
Community
development
programs
require
10
match
on
bluffton's,
always
been
very
good
at
over
matching
and
that's
helped
with
their
scoring
and.
B
The
business
development
program
has
two
million
dollars
in
it.
This
is
non-competitive
as
well.
Just
like
our
ready
to
go
program,
you
basically
make
an
application
request
and
you
have
to
turn
it
in
30
days
later.
But
the
idea
in
this
program
is
that
you're,
addressing
or
you're
putting
in
public
infrastructure
to
help
newer
expanding
businesses
that
are
creating
jobs
and
investing
in
the
community
monetarily
to
be
able
to
do
the
things
that
they
need
to
do.
B
That
being
said,
typically,
this
program
maxes
at
ten
thousand
dollars
per
job,
committed
those
companies
that
commit
jobs
and
commit
investment.
They
have
to
assign
performance
agreements
with
the
state
and
with
the
town
stating
that,
if
they
don't
make
meet
these
commitments
that
they
understand
that
they
may
have
to
pay
this
money
back.
B
The
jobs
that
are
created
here,
51
of
them
have
to
go
to
low
to
moderate
income
people,
meaning
these
have
to
be
the
type
of
jobs
they
call
them.
Cdbg
qualifying
jobs.
51
of
them
have
to
be
the
type
of
jobs
that
can
be
done
with
the
high
school
diploma
in
a
Year's
experience
work.
So
while
some
of
the
jobs
may
be
degree
jobs,
a
lot
of
them
are
more
skilled
training,
jobs
and
then,
finally,
the
remaining
money
of
the
19.7
million
dollars.
B
Five
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
it
goes
into
our
regional
planning
program.
That
is,
money.
That's
divided
among
the
10
cogs
of
which
Low
Country
Council
of
governments
is
one
so
that
we
can
do
these
public
hearings.
B
We
can
meet
with
staff
when
there
are
projects
that
they
want
to
develop,
and
also
so
we
can
host
development
days,
which
will
have
one
of
those
probably
late
spring
early
summer
for
this
region,
and
then
the
remaining
money
goes
to
State,
Administration
and
technical
assistance
to
allow
them
to
come
down
to
meetings
and
help
us
develop
projects
as
well.
B
Opportunity
zones
are
still
under
the
scoring
criteria
receiving
bonus
points
when
we
compete
for
an
application,
so
that's
still
in
place
and
performance
thresholds
are
still
in
place.
So
basically,
a
community
can
have
up
to
three
active
grants
if
they
have
two
open
grants
that
are
less
than
30
months
old
and
only
one
of
them
is
a
neighborhood
project.
Only
one
of
them
is
a
non-competitive
project
and
you
don't
have
more
than
one
project
in
the
same
neighborhood
in
your
community.
Then
you
can
pursue
a
final
project
to
have
three
open.
B
Lastly,
the
last
three
slides
are
about
our
low
country,
Regional,
Home
Consortium.
In
addition
to
ranking
tonight
your
needs.
We
do
ask
that
you
consider
what
your
housing
needs
are
separately
and
get
in
touch
with
us.
Our
home
Consortium
has
three
objectives:
the
rehabilitation
of
substandard
housing,
increasing
accessibility
to
adequate
and
affordable
housing
and
supporting
the
development
and
availability
of
safe,
decent,
affordable
housing.
We
submit
our
action
plan
just
like
the
states
now
for
cdbg
to
Hood
in
April.
B
So
if
there
are
things
that
you
think
we
should
consider
for
your
area
while
we're
doing
that,
we
ask
that
you
get
in
touch
with
us
in
the
next
couple
of
months
after
you
discuss
that
with
your
staff
and
that's
all
that
I
have
as
far
as
our
needs
assessment.
A
Let
me
do
public
hearing,
okay
questions.
Okay,
first
call
for
public
hearing
for
item
11
1,
which
is
the
town
of
Bluffton,
needs
assessment
for
housing,
public
facilities
and
economic
development.
A
A
Public
comment:
the
item
under
11
public
hearing
and
final
reading
of
the
con,
the
Bluffton
needs
assessment
for
housing,
public
facilities
and
economic
development.
Public
hearing
is
closed
questions
we
need
to
write
rank
again,
one
two
three
four
five
many
years,
but
are
there
questions
of
Michelle
and
is
that
where
we're
going
now
is
to
rank
okay,
any
questions
I.
G
Have
a
question
there
that
you
mentioned
in
the
beginning
of
the
presentation
that
is
spread
out
through
all
Jake
calls
right.
That.
B
E
B
Out
all
the
non-entitlement
communities
in
the
state
I
think
right
now,
between
counties
and
towns.
There
are
a
total
of
17
entitlement
communities
and
they
do
not
participate
in
this
set
aside
in
our
region.
The
only
entitlement
community
that
we
have
is
the
town
of
Hilton,
Head,
Island
and
I.
Think
they
get
roughly
I.
Think
it's
around
200
000
a
year
somewhere
in
that
neighborhood,
so
they
run
their
own
programs
like
state
and
they
set
their
own
priorities.
B
So
they
don't
compete
against
us
and
then
I'd
have
to
I'd
have
to
actually
look
them
up
and
read
them.
I
can
give
you
a
good
get
I
say
yes,
I
can
probably
hit
three-fourths
of
them
without
are.
G
F
B
That
have
been
contacted
that
were
eligible
have
been
city
of
Beaufort,
town
of
Bluffton
and
Hilton.
Head
Island
and
the
City
of
Beaufort
and
town
of
Bluffton
right
now
have
chosen
not
to
be
entitlements
because
they
compete
well
in
this
program
and
what
they
receive
in
Grants
is
greater
than
their
allocation
every
year.
Thank
you,
I'm.
Sorry,
that's
probably
way
more
than
clothes.
A
And
you.
A
A
E
N
D
N
A
Is
there
a
motion
to
rank
2023
in
order,
affordable
housing
for
low
moderate
income,
individuals,
families
and
seniors
number
two
transportation
and
pedestrians
safety
number
three
residential
rehab
of
housing
for
safe
and
dry
housing
number
four
infrastructure
improvements,
including
water,
sewer
and
drainage,
and
number
five
restoration
of
properties
or
facilities
of
Special
Value
to
the
community.
A
That's
your
news,
so
next
is
number
two
which
is
closing
out
a
program
so
we're
at.
B
All
my
glasses,
so
I
can
read
what
I
wrote
anyway
in
2000
December
2018,
the
town
of
Bluffton
was
awarded
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
goethi
Schultz
neighborhood
revitalization
project,
and
in
that
project
we
were
to
install
sidewalks
along
gothi
and
Schultz
roads,
along
with
some
ancillary
drainage
and
install
Lighting
in
that
area
as
well.
The
total
project
at
the
time
was
974
thousand
dollars,
with
5000
or
500
000
being
Grant
funds
and
the
other
474
and
change
being
local
money
that
was
provided
by
the
town.
B
This
project
is
a
benefit
524
people
of
which
71
or
371
people
were
low
to
moderate
income.
At
this
point,
we
are
substantially
complete
with
the
project
we
had
to
do
a
project
Amendment
to
take
out
a
sidewalk
component
of
Schultz,
and
the
reason
for
that
was
that
there
were
too
many
utility
conflicts
along
the
sidewalk
path
that
were
discovered
after
we
got
construction
underway.
B
So
we
were
able
to
negotiate
to
do
some
small
drainage
improvements
to
basically
re
reslope.
The
ditches
I
think
that's
the
right
word
for
it.
I'm
not
an
engineer.
So
I'm
gonna
cut
basically
clean
that
up
not
maintain
it
but
basically
clean
it
up,
and
we
had
already
done
the
lighting
we'd
already
done
the
sidewalks
for
goathy,
so
our
budget
and
basically
decreased
by
about
ninety
six
thousand
dollars.
B
D
B
A
B
E
The
money,
basically
so
in
my
understanding
why
this
one's
on
the
agenda
tonight
is
they
were
coming
for.
The
community
needs
assessment
when
the
first
one
we
did,
and
they
normally
would
have
had
to
schedule
a
public
hearing
here
anyway.
So
we
were
able
to
knock
out
two
birds,
one
stone
by
having
the
public
hearing
right
now,
while.
A
A
Grant
second
call
for
public
comments
on
the
public
hearing
concerning
the
program,
performance
and
accomplishments
for
goathy,
Schultz,
neighborhood,
revitalization,
Grant,
third
and
final
call
for
public
comment
for
this
public
hearing
concerning
program,
performance
and
accomplishments
for
Goku
Schultz,
neighborhood,
revitalization,
Grant
public
hearings
close.
Thank
you
Michelle.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here.
D

The
agreement
includes
a
commitment
from
the
town
of
Bluffton
for
177
339.40
and
a
10
contingency
to
pay
be
paid
from
the
appropriate
Town
funds.
So
much
any
discussion
all
in
favor,
say
by
saying
aye.
A
B
C
Yes,
good
making
America
Council
so
I'm
gonna
go
over
through
some
background
some
discussion
items
and
ask
for
your
approval
so
to
go
back
to
1990
Hilton
Head
Island
passed
a
real
estate
transfer
fee.
The
reason
for
this
was
to
purchase
property
and
preserve
property
throughout
the
island
and
I'll
go
more
of
that
in
a
minute.
But.
C
C
It
was
on
to
say
that
purpose
is
to
acquire
land
while
it's
still
available
to
be
held
in
perpetuity
or
believe
it
believed
to
be
needed
by
the
public
in
the
future
and
also
to
acquire
already
vote
land
or
development
rights
in
order
to
convert
its
public
use,
store
open
space
and
redefine
in
accordance
for
the
towns
comprehensive
plan.
So
that's
how
they
Define
their
need
and
use
of
those
funds.
C
D
C
C
Of
the
things
that
the
town
of
Hilton
Head
has
documented
as
benefits
that
have
resulted
from
this
fee,
preservation
of
open
space,
public
access
to
waterways,
space
for
passive
and
active
recreational
needs,
preserving
wildlife,
habitat
protect,
environmentally
sensitive
lands,
protect
culturally
and
historically
significant
sites
provide
more
storm
water,
filtration
space
for
Capital
Improvement
projects,
demand
for
probabilities,
have
increased
town
wide
and
reduce
demand
for
other
public
facilities
and
service
needs.
C
So
just
to
look
at
if
we
have
something
in
place
in
town
of
the
past
five
years,
there's
just
five
year
comparison,
we
would
have
raised
15
million
dollars
over
the
past
five
years.
In
2021
alone,
it
would
have
been
5.7
million.
So
if
you
look
at
our
land
acquisite
acquisition
budget
that
would
have
had
a
significant
impact
on
what
we've
been
able
to
do.
C
Be
made
that
the
fee
had
some
negative
impact
on
real
estate
transactions
over
time.
The
best
gauge
we
have
is
the
housing
price
index
have
national
state
and
local
level
data
on
that.
If
you.
P
D
C
The
state
delegation
requesting
that
to
take
a
look
at
this
allowing
other
jurisdictions
to
potentially
enact
their
own
feet.
D
A
Gone
about
a
tax
to
include
affordable
housing,
but
we
met
with
Senator,
Davis
I,
think
all
of
them
have
opportunity
to-
and
this
was
a
point
he
is
understanding
now
and
he
can
show
that
a
realtor
has
an
effect.
It
hasn't
affected
real
estate
sales
on
Hilton,
Head
and.
D
C
C
A
But
he
didn't
think
we
needed
to
do
this,
but
of
course.
A
And
I've
been
talking
about
this
for
years
and
we've
had
so
many
new
people
come
in
and
out.
People
have
forgotten
that
Hilton
Head
has
a
transfer
fee.
A
B
G
A
It
is
gonna
happen,
it's
gonna
take
two
years,
the
state
and
in
two
years,
Right
audience
just
to
be
proactive
on
it
and
and
then
Senator
Davis
felt
like
he
could
address
it
with
the
lobbyists
for
the
Real
Estate
Association,
which
we
have
proven
it's
proven
over
there.
It
didn't
stop.
It
didn't
inhibit
the
buyer
pays
for
growth.
Perhaps
there's
some
way
it
could
go
to
help.
Otherwise.
D
I
E
A
D
A
A
B
F
H
C
This
is
a
follow-up
to
the
discussion
had
during
a
strategic
plan
and.
N
C
Step
for
us
in
pushing
this
project
forward
to
have
a
formal
agreement
between
these
jurisdictions.
This
outlines
how
we
approach
the
implementation
of
this
project.
So
again,
the
purpose.
C
The
IG
this
focuses
on
defining
the
scope,
defining
the
commitment
and.
C
As
a
Project
Lead
defining,
how
much
will
each
research
pay
in
the
tentative
schedule
so
I'll
go
through
all
of
these
first,
the
background
we
know
this
very
well
so
I
want
to
spend
a
lot
of
time.
I
hope
way
back
in
May
of
2017
Staff,
first
protected
human
DNA
behind
the
southern
Crest
Campground,
and
it
continued
to
test
since
then
and
I
think
there's
around
roughly
45
a
positive
test
rate
for
anybody
named
in
that
area.
C
So
the
preservation
of
the
New
River
Room
surrounding
watersheds
was
added
to
the
plan
of
adopted
by
Council
and
Still
Remains
there.
Today
in
FY
21,
we
issued
a
five
million
dollar.
D
D
C
C
The
town
and
the
jurisdiction
is
generally
applied
for
the
South
Carolina
South
Carolina
infrastructure
investment
program.
Grant.
This
grant
could
potentially
cover
5.9
million
of
the
7.9
million
cost,
as
you
just
discussed
before.
We
won't
know
about
the
results
of
this
grant
until
February.
C
N
C
Of
the
things
that
we
want
to
make
sure
we
outline
pretty
deliberately
and
thoroughly
is
the
justification
for
our
participation
in
the
program,
and
these
swearrises
are
addressed.
D
C
The
agreement,
if
they
go
over
them
here
but
failing.
F
A
D
C
Systems
as
key
to
protecting
the
water
quality
benefits,
so
these
are
the
three
key
terms.
There
are
terms
that
are
included
in
agreement.
That's
within
your
packet,
so
the
jwsa
will
serve
as
a
project
manager
of
the
project.
Each
jurisdiction
will
commit
to
the
project.
Regardless
of
the
availability
of
grant
funding.
C
All
non-grant
expenditures
were
put
people
on.
Equally
any
scope.
Changes
require
approval
of
all
parties.
Bjwsa's
regulation
requires
Property
Owners
within
300
feet
of
public
server.
To
connect
it.
C
With
the
county
and
helping
to
uphold
that
that
requirement,
not
more
than
often
than
once,
a
quarter
bjwsa
will
reconcile
expenditures,
provide
backup
to
the
county
in
town,
and
we
will
reimburse
our
our.
C
Would
go
to
mediation,
so
those
are
the
key
terms
within
that
agreement.
C
The
tentative
schedule
was
defined
during
the
Grant
application
process,
and
this
was
also
included
within
the
the
agreement
and
final
design
is
identified
for
March
24th
final,
permitting
done
by
June
24th,
the
first
station
for
bids
September
24
and
a
no
later
than
construction
start
date.
June
1st
of
25.
F
C
C
At
a
staff
level
and
whether
or
not
they
want
to
put
it
forward
to
their
Council
I
think
the
important
thing
is
for
the
IJ
to
define
a
mutual
commitment
of
all
jurisdictions.
Mutual
commitment
funds,
regardless
of
Grant
funds
and
a
rough
timeline.
So.
I
But
I
guess
we
just
haven't
gotten
that
far.
So
this
is
the
first
thing
to
thank
God
and
y'all
and
everybody
else
who
finally
moving
somewhere.
I
wish
it
wasn't
another
two
years
before
they
start
construction,
but
it
you
know,
maybe
maybe
it
doesn't
have
to
be
two
years.
You
know,
maybe
maybe
some
really.
D
A
C
P
Yeah
you're
exactly
right,
that's
as
we
were
putting
the
skip
Grant.
I
P
D
P
There
are
no
engineered
designs
for
a
vacuum
system,
and
so
that's
where
it's
at
it
just
has
not
gone
through
engineered
design
at
all.
Yet.
C
P
A
E
H
To
support
what
Larry
is
concerned
about
the
timeline
because
being
in
the
business
three
parts,
three
entities:
that's
working
on
this-
it's
like
it
should
get
a
little
bit
more
priority,
all
time,
wise,
okay,
the.
E
A
A
A
A
A
On
in
the
community,
that's
our
manager
report
is
there
anything
y'all
want
more
information
agenda.
