Heavenly
Father
may
we
learn
to
love
our
neighbors
more
deeply
so
that
we
can
continue
to
create
a
peaceful,
caring
and
just
community
and
as
we
pray
for
our
families
and
friends,
may
we
help
each
other
in
times
of
loss
and
sorrow,
patience,
love
and
understanding.
Just
as
you
love
and
help
each
of

to
give
this
Council
the
ability,
the
will
and
the
knowledge
to
do
good
for
the
citizens
of
this
community
and
all
this
I
ask
in
your
name,
amen.
A
A
C
A
A
Well,
Annie
comes
up
I.
Do
we
have
another
boy

Okay.
We
gave
you
Annie
a
bit
of
time,
Services
first.
A
F
F
Bread
is
a
building
inspector
as
well
for
about
two
months.
Four
months.
All
right
time
flies
so
so
the
two
building
inspectors,
Sydney
Holland
who's,
been
with
us
for
a
couple
of
years
now,
has
actually
been
promoted
to

is
great

C
Got
Marcia

30.,
so
she
had
been

previously.
She
had
been

then

It's
a
sand.
Shark
week
we're
asked
the
University
of
South
Carolina
Beaufort
when
we
say
Bluffton
is
fully
accredited
Prince
of
baccalaureate
institution
within
the
University
of
South
Carolina
system
and
whereas
uscb
provides
specialized
instruction
in
19
undergraduate
degree
programs.
Two
graduate
degrees
to
fulfill
its
mission
to
respond
to
Regional
needs,
draw
upon
Regional
strengths
and
prepare
graduates
to
contribute
locally
nationally
and
internationally,
whereas
uscb
is
primary.
A
primary
Regional
resource
for
exceptional
skilled
Health
Care
Professionals
teachers,
Hospitality
managers,
science-based
researchers
and
computational
troubleshooters
in
the
South
Carolina
Low
Country.
A
J
A
K
And
this
is
Brian
Sullivan
he's
our
marketing
manager.
Thank
you,
mayor,
sulka
and
council
members
for
allowing
us
to
come
and
do
a
presentation
on
what
Palmetto
Breeze,
which
our
official
name
is
the
Lowcountry
Regional
Transportation
authority,
and
what
we
do.
We
are
a
five
County
Authority
and
we
do
both
urban
and
rural
Services,
which
is
important
because
that's
how
our
grant
money
comes
in
both
rural
and
urban.
K
Right
there,
okay
I
got
it,
and
this
just
shows
some
of
the
services
we
do.
We
have
seven
commuter
routes,
we
have
a
a
route
once
all
the
commuter
buses
come
in
from
the
outline
areas
they
transfer
in
Bluffton
to
different
locations.
A
lot
of
them
are
on
Hilton
Head.
We
have
one
bus
that
just
serves
the
Bluffton
area
and
I'll
get
into
where
that
goes
on
the
next
slide.
K
K
You
have
to
put
in
an
ADA
Paratransit,
meaning
that
if
someone
cannot
get
to
a
bus
stop
and
they
live
within
three
quarters
of
a
mile
of
the
route,
we'll
go
to
their
door
and
pick
them
up
and
say
they're
going
to
any
store
or
any
services
that
are
within
three
quarters
of
a
mile
over
the
route,
and
we
take
them
there
and
we
do
it.
This
time
have
eight
registered
Ada
passengers
in
Bluffton
that
use
the
service
and
they
have
to
fill
out
an
application
and
and
be
approved
that
way
through
their
position.
K
We
have
demand
response
services
and
that
that
is
similar
to
dialeride
in
other
areas,
where
folks
can
call
in
and
see
if
there's
a
at
the
time,
they
want
a
trip
available,
and
we
do
about
20
to
25
trips
a
day
for
folks
that
just
call
in
and
say,
hey,
I
need
to
go
to.
Dialysis
can
I
get
a
ride
to
my
doctors
and
it
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
Bluffton
Breeze
and
we
charge
by
the
mile
fairly
reasonable.
K
It's
five
dollars
for
up
to
10
miles,
and
so
that's
very
popular
and
and
I'm
glad
that
we
can
fulfill
people's
needs.
We
have
done
some
special
events
just
recently
the
Mayfest
as
they
couldn't
find
a
private
Charter
operator.
Generally,
we
wouldn't
do
anything
that
the
private
Charter
operators
would
do,
but
there
was
none
available
and
I
believe
we
may
be
online
for
the
next
Festival
as
well.
We're
happy
to
help
out.
We
do
the
dupusky
ferry
parking
shuttle
right
now.
It's
behind
Tanger
two.
K
Here
is
during
hurricanes,
but
there
can
be
any
kind
of
natural
disaster
and
if
the
EOC
opens-
and
we
are
esf1
we're
in
charge
of
transportation
and
I
know.
During
Matthew,
we
took
about
375
people
to
the
shelter
in
Jasper,
County
and
so
we're
there.
We
activate
anytime.
The
EFC
is
activated
we're
on
duty
and
ready
to
help.
K
This
is
the
map
of
all
the
commuter
routes
and
when
you
look
at
it,
it's
pretty
amazing
that
we
bring
people
in
from
all
of
these
areas
and
that's
what
I
wanted
to
talk
about
as
they
come
in
from
all
these
areas
as
far
as
Walterboro
and
Allendale
and
when
they
get
to
Bluffton
the
bus
and
in
that
takes
them
around
Bluffton.
We
take
employees
to
RSI,
which
is
Resort
Services
Industries
on
Buck
Island.
We
serve
two
Parkers.
We
go
to
the
Bluffton
High
School.
We
have
a
worker
there.
K
We
do
some
services
in
Buckwalter.
We
have
employees
to
the
McDonald's,
the
Pizza
Hut
in
there
Vineyard
and
then,
as
we
head
up,
we
serve
the
the
Wendy's
and
I
know.
That's
part
out
of
Bluffton,
but
Zaxby's
the
Walmart
up
there.
All
the
employees
that
come
from
the
outlying
areas
come
here
and
then
we
distributed
them
around
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
go
back
and
get
them.
They
get
back
on
their
bus
to
Allendale,
Hampton
colington,
and
it
really
provides
it's
a
two-way
street.
K
K
It
is
funded
through
FDA
and
also
by
the
town
of
Bluffton
and
well,
it's
part
of
the
urbanized
area
and
we
operate
eight
to
five
thirty
Monday
to
Friday
and
the
route's
a
little
hard
to
see
here.
But
the
majority
of
it
is
us
going
along
the
Bluffton
Parkway
that
up
and
down
is
where
we're
coming
from
Walmart
to
town
hall,
and
we
also
serve
the
new
RV
park.
K
That's
the
National
Golf
Course
and
we
do
pick
up
people
there
and
we
have
some
regular
Riders
I
have
to
say
that
it's
it's
a
slow
grow.
We
have
tried
a
lot
of
things
and
we're
not
done
trying
and
here's
the
slide
on
that
that
we
reduced
the
schedule
early
in
the
year,
because
we
were
very
short
of
drivers
and
we
had
to
look
at.
Where
can
we
be
more
efficient?
K
So
we
went
from
three
drivers
on
the
route
to
two
drivers
by
removing
two
hours
in
the
middle
of
the
day,
and
we
did
that
because
there
weren't
a
lot
enough
ridership
and
we
didn't
have
enough
drivers
and
so
we're
getting
ready
in
the
fall
to
put
back
that
third
driver.
But
we're
looking
at
something.
K
K
There
are
a
lot
of
people
that
would
like
to
come
to
Bluffton
that
used
to
come
to
Bluffton
that
used
to
go
to
the
farmers
market
and
come
into
town,
and
they
don't
want
to
drive
on
278
anymore,
and
so
we're
hopeful
that
we
can
Market
that
and
get
some
more
ridership
up,
so
that
we're
doing
what
we.
What
our
mission
is,
is
to
get
people
around
public
transportation
and
the
Ada
service.
K
Do
you
still
need
service?
Are
you
still
there?
So
then
we
have
that
list
and
then
usually
as
soon
as
the
Hurricanes
announce
the
phones
light
up
and
we
get
another
50
or
100
people
well,
the
day
of
the
event
in
the
morning
we
have
a
call
center
and-
and
everybody
can
call
in
and
we
make
routes
for
the
drivers
to
go
pick
everybody
up
and
we
get
them
to
the
shelter,
so
I
think
we've
gotten
really
good
at
it.
Unfortunately,
and
hopefully
we
won't
get
to
practice
this
year,
does
anybody
have
any
questions.
B
I
see
you
as
imperative
to
the
long-term
term
solution
to
the
transportation
needs
in
the
area
of
the
region.
I'm
a
little
surprised.
Your
ridership
has
not
increased
to
a
point
that
you'd
like
it
to
I
hope
that
you're
making
a
really
sound
effort.
But
my
question
really
is
you
know
the
goal
was
ultimately
to
connect
the
Hilton
Head
to
bring
the
the
workers
back
and
forth.
K
Well,
I
have
to
say
that
it's,
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
funding
and
the
way
we're
funded
is
based
on
two-year-old
statistics
through
the
FTA,
and
so
in
order
to
have
that
big
of
a
growth
we
need,
we
need
a
big
growth
of
funding
and
I
have
been
told
that
we
may
be
part
of
the
next
sales
tax
referendum,
and
that
would
do
it.
We
need
to
be
able
to
purchase
buses
and
hire
more
drivers,
not
with
the
grant
money.
K
What
what
we
use
is
primarily
our
funding
is
grant
money
and
local
match,
and
so
it's
very
hard
to
make
a
big
push
without
a
substantial
amount
of
funds,
and
so
right
now
we've
developed
service
on
Hilton
Head,
but
it's
seasonal.
It's
very
popular
and
I
want
to
say
the
first
two
years
it
wasn't,
and
so
we
didn't
give
up
on
it.
We're
carrying
40
to
50,
000
Riders,
just
from
Memorial
Day
to
Labor,
Day
and
I
know.
It's
made
a
huge
difference
over
there.
I
have
to
tell
you.
K
We
were
a
little
surprised
that
folks
here
aren't
so
interested
in
leaving
their
car
in
the
driveway
or
in
the
parking
lot
and
get
on
the
bus,
but
we're
not
giving
up
and
we're
going
into
year
three,
and
that
was
the
year
the
trolley
took
off.
So
we're
really
hopeful
that
we'll
we'll
get
a
solid
base.
A
L
A
A
M
I
think
just
in
talking
to
some
residents,
another
initiative
that
might
Aid
in
that
could
be
a
partnership.
You
know
we
discussed
is
because
there's
no
commuter
designated
commuter
area,
a
lot
of
people
aren't
comfortable
or
know
what,
if
they
do
want
to
use
that
as
a
ride
chair
like
where
they
Park
in
their
car
because
other,
if
there's
not
a
designated
spot,
I'm
not
going
to
leave
my
house
to
get
on
the
bus
somewhere,
because,
where
am
I
parking
when
I
do
leave
to
to
utilize
them
instead
of
my
personal
vehicle.
M
A
Steven's
taking
notes
right
anything
else,
thank
you
very
much.
Next,
we
have
the
Hilton
Head
Bluffton
Chamber
of
Commerce
Tom.
You've
been

While
you're
coming

I
saw
two
more
Boy
Scouts
come
up.
Are
they
here
for
the
same
badge
and
I
saw
a
young
man
in
the
back?
Is
he
here
for
gotta
embarrass
them
all?

A
Thank
you
Tom.
Thank
you.
That's
the
end
of
presentation,
celebrations
and
recognitions.
Next,
we
move
on
to
public
comment.
Public
comment,
as
you
know,
is
a
privilege
not
a
right.
It
is
something
we
need
to
go
over
with
our
rules.
So
if
y'all
just
bear
with
me,
each
speaker
is
limited
to
three
minutes
per
meeting,
regardless
of
whether
the
person
is
speaking
on
their
own
behalf
or
as
an
agent
for
others,
they
may
not
donate
transfer,
yield
or
give
any
or
portion
of
their
speaking
time.
A
There
can
to
be
conducted
from
the
podium
and
directed
to
Town
Council
as
a
whole
and
not
to
any
member
of
Bureau
of
speakers
shall
be
mindful
and
respectful
of
those
participating
in
or
present
at
the
meeting.
Speakers
shall
be
expected
to
be
civil
in
their
language
and
shall
refrain
from
comment
or
behavior.
That
involves
disorderly
speech
or
action
name,
calling
personal
attacks,
threats,
obscene
or
indecent
remarks
and
are
disruptive
actions.
A
Combine
confine
your
comments
to
the
jurisdiction
of
This
Town
Council.
If
you
violate
these
rules,
you'll
be
ruled
out
of
order
by
the
presiding
officer
and
any
person
who
comments
have
been
ruled
out
of
order
shall
immediately
cease
sentences
from
further
improper
comments.
This
is
refusal
of
an
individual
to
desist
from
this
may
be
subject
to
removal
from
the
meeting
and
or
a
citation
under
our
section
2.49
of
the
code.
A
These
are
our
rules,
and
our
rules
are
are
part
of
our
ordinance
and
our
ordinance
is
the
law
of
this
town,
so
I'd
just
like
going
over
that
and
with
y'all
here,
you
kind
of
understand
how
we
try
to
run
a
business
meeting.
So
with
that,
if
you
come
up,
say
your
name
and
address.
Even
if
we
know
you,
we
need
it
for
our
minutes
and
I
will
pass
it
on
to
Marcia
Michael.
G
Council,
my
name
is
Thomas
nutton.
She
is
correct.
I
did
come
here
to
speak
on
a
consent,
agenda
item
number
five
and
some
of
the
specific
language
within
there
and
had
some
concerns
about
it.
However,
I
have
spoken
to
miss
Kimberly,
Jones
and
she's
used
my
concerns
regarding
that
item.
So
I
really
have
nothing
formal
on
the
agenda.
To
speak
of
I
would
like
to
say
how
lucky
the
town
is
to
have
staff
who's
willing
to
engage,
communicate
and
work
collaboratively
to
solve
problems
and
I
do
think.
Also.
G
Your
constituents
should
also
know
that
I
think
this
Council
really
does
work
in
the
behalf
of
them
and
is
looking
as
a
team
out
for
their
best
interests.
So
hopefully,
if
you
don't
get
enough
credit
for
that,
I
hope.
You
acknowledge
that
you
really
do
a
good
job
and
I
appreciate
what
you
guys
do
for
your
community.
Thank
you
and.

O
Laughs

Hoagland
windmill,
Harbor,
David,
Lauderdale's,
excellent
column,
sloppy
government
in
the
packet
about
the
latest
Beaufort
County,
Greenway
Scandal,
should
strike
fear
in
the
heart
of
every
corrupt,
incompetent,
County,
employee,
mayor
attorney
and
elected
official.
We
all
know
what
corruption
is.
It's
Insider
dealings,
bribery
quid
pro
quo,
nepotism
pay
to
play
Kickbacks
and
more
now
is
the
time
during
this
holy
self-inflicted,
County
disgrace
to
speak
up
on
the
issue.
It
has
severely
damaged
our
community
and
cause
embarrassment
to
honest
council,
members
and
employees
alike.
O
We
must
all
understand
dishonest
acts
by
County,
Employees
lawyers,
Mayors
and
Council
council
members
further
degrades
the
system,
it's
a
curse
to
society
and
totally
against
democracy.
Corruption
continues
to
flourish
here.
Weak
law
enforcement,
lack
of
accountability
have
created
an
environment
where
this
Behavior
has
gone
unpunished
and
and
it's
systematic
issues
such
as
lack
of
transparency,
foia
compliance,
fraudulent
internal
audits,
fraudulent
budgets
that
both
only
show
the
numbers,
the
Insiders
like
Greenway,
salka,
Gruber
and
Orlando-
want
you
to
see,
has
further
created
multiple
opportunities
for
these
immoral
Craven
people
to
abuse
power.
O
We
must
focus
on
robust,
enforced
laws,
regulations
and
full
Financial
transparency.
Remember
we
all
have
the
power
and
it
starts
with
ourselves.
Let
us
not
support
corruption,
the
greatest
evil
in
our
society
and
remove
it.
People
are
silent
in
such
situations,
but
being
silent
is
not
acceptable.
Raising
our
voices
toward
exposing
wrongdoing
is
a
first
step
to
fight
corruption.
O
Combating
corruption
is
challenging,
but
measures
can
be
taken.
The
most
important
steps
is
improving
the
court
system
and
the
institutions
responsible
for
ensuring
accountability.
We
can
do
that
by
Council
hiring
an
outside
forensic
auditor,
preferably
somebody
out
of
state
without
any
tithes,
to
local
insiders,
to
conduct
a
thorough
forensic
audit
of
the
entire
Beaufort
County
and
all
those
who
receive
tens
of
millions
of
our
tax
money
with
zero
oversight
for
the
last
50
years.
O
This
includes
the
school
district,
our
Treasurer,
the
town
of
Hilton
Head,
the
town
of
Bluffton,
the
Hilton
Head
Bluffton
chamber,
Burr,
Foreman
law,
firm
and
bonds,
and
millions
of
hospitality,
tax
and
a
tax
funds
have
disappeared.
Tumor
is
Soak
as
lap,

and
pet
he's
not
fit
to
be
a
mayor.
Fingers
should
be
fired
and
arrested.
The
Hilton
Head
chamber
is
corrupt.
We
need
honest
leadership
and
yeah.
You
smile
Miss
Silka,
but
you,
but
you
need
to
be
investigated.
A
O
A
C
N
O
A
A
B
B
But
that
is
not
what
life
is
all
about
and
that's
not
what
government
is
all
about,
and
so
you
guys
are
the
Future
Leaders
you're,
our
future
you're
going
to
grow
up,
and
some
of
you
are
going
to
be
sitting
up
here
at
the
podium
one
day,
making
really
good
decisions
on
behalf
of
your
community.
So
we
all
of
us
here
are
glad
you're
here
tonight
and
we're
grateful
that
you
have
a
civic
interest.
So
thank
you.
A
Y'all
all
need
to
meet
Mr
hinz
back
there,
because
when
you
get
into
high
school
you're
going
to
want
an
internship-
and
he
will
get
your
name
okay
and
you
got
a
reference
letter
from
all
of
us
just
by
dealing
with
that.
Okay
I
want
y'all
to
know
something
and
I'm
going
to
take
a
couple
minutes
if
y'all
were
humor
me.
I
just
gave
this
to
Fred
guys
this
young
man's
name,
Chris
Singleton
Chris
Singleton
played
baseball
at
Charleston
Southern.
He
was
freshman
year.
He
got
a
call.
A
His
mom
was
one
of
the
people
in
the
Emmanuel.
Shooting
and
y'all
were
just
babies
and
he
was
a
freshman
in
college
to
get
a
call
to
say.
His
mom
had
met
her
fate,
so
God
spoke
to
him
and
he
is
on
a
circuit
and
we
all
went
to
the
municipal
Association
and
he
was
our
speaker
and
I.
Think
everyone
in
this
room
that
heard
him
would
say
that
it
was
probably
the
best
speaker,
we've
ever
heard
ever
so
if
you
can
Google
him.
A
If
y'all
want
to
do
some
reading
and
get
this
book,
it's
a
super,
easy
read:
it
teaches
you
unity
and
empathy.
It
teaches
you
to.
You
might
not
agree
this
man's
a
little
far
gone,
but
I
wonder
what
his
story
is.
You
know,
I
wonder
what
how
an
upbringing
make
someone
do
that
you
might
not
agree,
but
you
can
understand
someone's
story
and
appreciate
where
they're
coming
from
and
where
you're
coming
from
and
that's
what
your
badges
really
kind
of
focused
on.
A
But
this
is
a
fabulous,
easy,
easy
I'll
approve
it
read
and
I
would
get
you
really
to
get
it
or
Google
him
on
YouTube
and
see
if
you
can
see
one
of
his
one
of
his
talks,
because
it's
pretty
darn
amazing
so
I
bought
this
for
Fred
because
he
was
not
able
there
last
weekend
and
it's
just
a
good
thing.
It'll
make
you
feel
good.
So
that's
all
I
got.
A
Of
course
you
will
I
want
to
quiz
him
and
all
the
rest
of
you,
so
nothing
else
from
mayor
and
Council.
We
have
formal
agenda
agenda
items,
which
is
why
we
are
here
today.
We
have
a
lot
of
fun
business
to
go
over.
That
I
think
are
is
very
encouraging.
First
up
is
consideration
of
an
ordinance
amending
to
the
town
of
Bluffton,
Municipal
Code
of
ordinances,
chapter
21,
emergency,
permitting
procedures
to
civil
emergencies,
to
record
to
record
all
code
requirements
related
to
Emergency
Management
to
one
Consolidated
chapter.
This
is
the
final
reading.
A
Q
This
was
to
summarize
it
real
quick.
There
were
no
substantial
changes,
there's
no
changes
in
the
real
purpose
of
the
ordinance.
We
were
just
consolidating
several
chapters
into
one
chapter
to
address,
all
of
whatever
emergencies
may
arise:
civil
emergencies
hurricanes,
whatever
that
may
be
just
to
get
those
in
all
one
one
location
so
that
things
weren't
inadvertently
overlooked
and
there
were
no
changes
from
first
reading.
So,
if
you
so
choose
there
is
a
proposed
motion
on
the.
A
Screen
and
whenever
we
change
our
ordinances,
we
have
two
meetings
that
we
do,
and
this
is
really
more
housekeeping
and
helpful
for
our
citizens.
So
if
there
are
no
questions
at
council,
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
amendments
to
the
town
of
Bluffton,
coat
of
ordinances,
chapter
21,
Emergency,
Management,
civil
emergencies,.
A
R
R
R
So
a
little
background,
as
you
all
know,
you
approved
the
account
plan
and
the
revised
strategic
plan
in
2022
in
the
past.
Our
focus
on
economic
development
has
been
primarily
with
drci
and
that's
our
small
business
startup
and
growth
program,
also
our
mcip
and
Buckwalter,
and
the
buckwalt
development,
with
a
focus
on
trying
to
identify
a
corporate
headquarters
in
that
that
property
that
the
town
loans
out
there
and
very
quickly
our
updated,
build
out
numbers.
R
So
some
of
the
areas
of
concern
that
we're
trying
to
address
with
the
incentive
ordinance
is
one
is
traffic
and
I'll
kind
of
show
that
you
that
in
future,
slides
since
I
show
you
some
maps,
but
commercial
development
obviously
is
lagging
our
residential
growth.
So
there's
a
lot
of
demand
for
additional
commercial
there's,
a
lack
of
private
sector
Services
industry.
So
these
are
service
oriented
businesses,
there's
a
really
high
demand
for
these,
and
obviously
that
that
growth
in
that
particular
area
is
not
kept
up
with
a
pace
of
population.
R
So
if
you're
looking
at
just
the
Incorporated
area
population
again,
this
is
2020
2021.
It's
30,
000
people
in
this
Incorporated
area.
Today,
it's
closer
37.38,
but
this
is
at
that
point
in
time
and
again
here
is
your
study
area
population
over
51,
000
and
the
businesses
are
around
1900
businesses
within
an
area
and
then
west
of
Buckwalter.
You
can
see
the
population
of
26
26
000,
which
is
51
and
331
businesses,
which
is
only
17
of
businesses.
E
R
R
R
So
we
took
a
look
at
our
labor
force
within
within
the
study
area
and
and
this
this
particular
chart
does
it
by
industry
so
identifies
the
total
employed,
the
amount
in
particular
Industries
and
the
percent
of
the
total
employed
and
it
Compares
it
to
the
U.S
percentage.
And
then
this
low
location
quotient
out
to
the
right
here
is
basically
the
U.S
average
is
one
and,
if
you're
lower
than
one
then
you're
below
the
national
average,
for
that
particular
industry,
you're
above
one
you're
above
national
average.
So
we'll
look
looking
at
these.
R
R
And
here
again
you
can
see
that
computer
tech,
mathematical
life,
physical,
social
sciences
and
Healthcare
support
or
wealth
below
the
national
average
I
also
highlighted
here,
Healthcare
practitioners,
because
it's
right
about
on
the
national
average
and
so
the
difference
there
is
Healthcare
practitioners
or
your
doctors,
Healthcare
support
staff.
Is
your
nurses,
your
techs,
your
medical
equipment
tax,
your
medical
billing
Specialists?
R
The
next
series
of
graphs
is
a
what
we
call
a
void
analysis,
so
it
kind
of
puts
these
little
dots
on
the
map
of
where
the
numbers
of
businesses
are
located,
and
this
particular
one
is
all
of
service
sector
businesses.
So
this
spans
the
game
of
all
kinds
of
different
types
of
service
sectors
at
First
Look.
R
This
just
looks
at
your
dental
dentist
Dennis
office.
Again,
concentrating
on
278
Bluffton,
Road,
Old
Town,
there's
Pharmacy,
seeing
a
similar
Trend
one
of
the
positives
are.
You
are
seeing
that
that
in
the
the
Buckwalter
Development
Area,
which
is
one
of
our
focuses
from
economic
development
in
the
past,
it
is
working
those
getting
those
types
of
services
out.
R
R
R
R
So
we
looked
at,
we
started
with
the
comp
plan
and
in
the
account
plan,
it
done
as
these
town
center
and
Village
nodes,
which
are
in
those
particular
areas
of
the
high
population,
low
business
sector
areas,
and
we
looked
at
what
are
the
corridors
or
roadways
that
support
that
that
may
have
commercial
or
even
residential
potential
development
for
for
certain
types
of
affordable
housing
developments,
and
so
we
had
Bluffton
Parkway
West
of
Bluffton
Road
Local
to
Parkway
North
of
Bluffton
Parkway
and
South
Carolina
Highway
71
between
46
and
278.
And
you
see
that
here.
R
R
So
here
we
are
with
our
Target
Industries
and
professions
and
they
fall
in
Healthcare,
dental
Home,
Health,
pharmaceutical
retail,
Child
Care,
affordable
housing,
mixed-use
commercial,
Flex
use
spaces.
So
this
this
is
interesting
because
a
lot
of
the
service
sector,
which
there's
a
lot
of
demand
for
and
low
Supply
use
these
office
up
front
Warehouse
in
the
back
type
of
spaces
to
expand
their
services
and
there's
an
extremely
amount
of
high
demand
for
these
types
of
office
spaces
for
those
those
Industries
and,
of
course
we
won't
ignore
corporate
headquarters.
R
You
know
if
someone
from
a
corporate
headquarters
came
to
us
and
wanted
to
leverage
this
in
order
to
encourage
them
to
come
here.
We
definitely
would
try
and
work
out
a
deal
with
them,
so
we
didn't
want
to
exclude
to
be
eligible
for
the
incentive
in
the
ordinance
is
proposed
that
developments
that
are
consistent
with
the
account
and
strategic
plans
that
these
incentives
will
support
development
that
is
unlikely
to
occur
or
may
not
occur
at
the
desired
scale
that
it
would
have
if
they
were
not
available.
R
E
R
So
potential
incentives
that
we
included
in
the
first
draft
of
the
ordinance
are
here
now
it's
important
to
note
that
we
cannot
waive
any
of
these
fees
listed
and
we
cannot
severely
discount
them,
but
what
you
can
do
and
they
have
so
when
a
developer
comes
through.
They
still
have
to
go
through
the
normal
process,
pay
all
the
normal
fees.
But
what
you
can
do
is
you
can
develop
a
grant,
approve
a
grant
to
Developers
for
as
an
incentive
that
once
they
fulfill
their
end
of
the
bargain
once
they
fulfill
their
obligations.
R
R
It
is
a
grant
that
is
equal
up
to
50
planning,
building
fees
collected
by
a
town
and
or
50
of
the
business
license
fees
for
collected
for
up
to
five
years,
100
up
to
100
of
you
for
gas,
water,
Sewer,
Authority
capacity
fees
and
then
there's
also
a
clause
that
any
other
incentives
determined
by
Council
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
It
also
writes
in
the
ordinance
that
the
council
May
leverage
some
state
laws
that
offer
property
tax
credits
for
abandoned
buildings,
as
well
as
task
cards
for
installation
of
fire
sprinkler
systems.
J
J
M
M
We
have
a
Workforce
that
is
here
that
we
could
retain
what
businesses
are
going
to
be
needed
to
incentivize
them
to
remain,
as
it
would
be
more
advantageous
to
attract
who
we
already
have
those
coming
right
out
of
high
school
or
those
who
are
already
working
here.
Child
Care
is
definitely
going
to
be
one
of
those
because
that's
a
concern.
A
lot
of
you
know.
Families
have
but
other
than
that,
like
what
other
things
are
going
to
be
needed
to
keep
them
here.
M
As
we
combat
the
one
problem
of
trying
to
incentivize
those
deficit
businesses
we
don't
have,
then
how
do
we
once
we
get
them
here?
They're
still
going
to
have
that
issue
of
having
the
workers
to
keep
those
businesses
going.
So
it's
like,
while
we're
addressing
one
problem.
What
do
we
do
to
also
address
the
other
problem?
That's
going
to
come
once
we
once
we
solve
that
yeah.
M
We
have
the
child
care,
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
recognized
incentives
in
addition
to
the
one
you
have
here,
but
what
you
know
that
Workforce
that
is
here,
you
know
those
students
who
would
just
Master
a
skill
and
don't
need
to
go
off
necessarily
to
a
four-year
College.
What
can
we
do
to
keep
them
here?
Opposing
them?
Q
B
A
E
E
R
Long
as
they're
in
one
of
the
areas
identified
and
one
of
the
the
industries
of
professions
that
is
identified,
yes,
that
would
qualify
them
to
be
considered
for
Council
for
a
council
Grant,
so
they
would
apply
and
if,
if
an
ordinance
is
approved,
staff
would
develop
a
policy
procedure
around
managing
these
applications.
Applications
will
come
in
Stafford
events
make
sure
we
get
any
specifics
or
answer
any
questions.
Ultimately
they've
presented
at
Council
for
your
approval
and
again
the
way
it's
structured
is.
This
would
be
a
grant
after
they
fulfill
their
obligations.
E
E
B
A
B
A
Go
back
go
back
slide
where
it
shows
no
business,
isn't
new,
Riverside
and
I
wonder
where
y'all
live.
Where
do
you
live
boys?
Men,
young
men?
Where
do
you
live
a
little
bit?
I
live
in
Boston,
Square
Boston,
here,
okay,
but
what
neighborhood
Lawton
station
okay
kind
of
sort
of
near
there?
Does
everyone
I
live
in
Hampton,
Hall?
Okay,
so
the
y'all
are
in
this
area.
We're
talking
about
and
I
love
this,
because
there's
not
a
thing.
This
town
can
do
about
traffic,
not
a
thing.
A
One
question
is:
how
can
we
package
this
and
take
it
to
EDC
and
I
know
I'm
on
that
committee,
because
there's
also
if,
if
the
Economic
Development
Corporation
sees
that
these
are
true,
Economic
Development
projects
for
us
I
would
think
we
have
kind
of
a
help
on
that.
Like
an
aid,
so
business
wants
to
open
up
a
daycare.
A
R
A
A
P
A
B
A
R
So
the
last
little
reassessment
was
in
2018
and
Council
reduced
Millers
as
part
of
that
reassessment
by
two
Mills
from
4235
to
40.35
and
then
the
following
year
in
2019
Council
reduced
millage
Again
by
1.85
Mills
to
38.5,
where
it
has
remained
ever
since
so
the
reassessment
for
this
year
was
an
appraisal
date.
As
of
December
31st
2022..
R
We
did
not
get
the
data
from
the
county
until
after
the
approval
of
our
budget,
so
the
budget
was
adopted
at
the
38.5
Mills
and
as
part
of
reassessment
we
can
adjust
our
millage,
so
the
revenue
neutral.
So
as
part
of
the
reassessment
you
calculate
how
much
your
Mills
would
adjust
to
keep
your
Revenue
the
same
year
over
year
and
so
right
now
we're
38
and
a
half
mils
and
the
revenue
neutral
back
would
be
34.3
mils.
R
The
sale
also
allows
councils
and
local
jurisdictions
to
increase
knowledge
in
reassessment
years
based
on
CPI
and
population
growth.
So
if
we
just
took
one
year's
worth
of
Capi
and
population
growth,
we
could
technically
increase
our
millage
up
to
40.6.
There's
also
a
three
year.
Look
back,
so
you
can
do
a
lot
more
than
that,
but
that's
the
one-year
metric.
R
R
R
If
that
median
home
value
did
not
change.
This
would
be
in
our
millage
goes
to
36.
That
would
be
a
reduction
annually
of
33.61
if
the
home
increased
five
percent
it'd
be
a
reduction
of
9.41
if
their
home
increased
10
percent
they'd
be
paying
14.79
more
and
if
their
home
increased
to
the
cap.
The
state
cap,
it
caps
it
at
15
increase
in
any
one
reassessment.
R
This
also
not
only
reduces
millage
but
also
addresses
too
large
on
budgeted
items.
One
is
the
waste
management
came
to
us
after
the
approval
of
the
budget
about
a
recycling
cost
increase
that
is
in
their
contract.
So
they
have
a
pause
in
the
contract
that
if
the
market
for
recycling
recyclables
causes
their
cost
to
sending
an
increase,
they
can
approach
the
town
to
renegotiate.
They
have
done
that.
They
originally
came
to
us
with
an
increase
per
residential
unit
of
four
dollars
and
27
cents.
R
We
have
since
got
them
down
to
two
dollars
and
down
two
dollars
from
what
they
originally
came
to
us
with.
Actually,
our
our
negotiation
caused
them
to
go
renegotiate
with
their
recycling
hauler
to
get
those
costs
down.
The
second
item
is
a
proposal
from
our
chief
that
would
cost
us
annually
275
000,
and
this
is
to
readjust
the
pay
step
plans.
So
what
does
two
things?
One
is
as
part
of
the
budget
process.
Our
surrounding
jurisdictions
increase
their
base,
pay
for
incoming
officers,
entry-level
officers,
so
now
Bluffton
is
the.
R
We
pay
the
lowest
out
of
the
region
for
our
incoming
officers,
so
this
would
adjust
that
up
to
to
match
our
surrounding
our
neighbors.
The
other
thing
it
does
is:
it
includes
steps
that
provide
incentives
for
meeting
certain
Milestones,
whether
it
be
certain
types
of
training
or
education,
or
certain
types
of
awards
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
increase
the
step
and
increase
the
pay
if
they
achieve
those
Milestones.
It
also
would
allow
for
us
recruiting
new
officers
to
the
police
force.
R
With
the
calculation
that
we
brought,
it
does
not
include
just
just
this
is
just
for
your
information
does
not
affect
impact
anything
right
now,
but
their
allow
property
owners
are
allowed
to
appeal,
so
it
doesn't
factor
in
any
appeals
that
are
successful.
It
also
doesn't
factor
in
any
non-resident
to
resident
changes
that
occur
prior
to
January
14th.
R
B
R
They
have
traditionally
come
back
to
us
every
one
or
two
years
to
talk
about
different
cost
changes
and
see
if
we
can
renegotiate
after
the
last
contract
was
signed.
We
have
said
no
to
all
those
questions
or
asks,
but,
like
I
said
recycling
was
so
volatile.
They
did
have
a
clause
that
allowed
them
to
come
back
to
us.
For
that
particular
reason.
M
Not
a
question
but
just
a
discussion
while
we're
having
this
conversation.
I
know
you
have
to
include
the
reduction
here
to
make
it
palpable
for
some
as
it
you
know,
sadly,
has
become
a
a
sticking
point
politically
for
some
people
to
say
that
you
know
they
reduce
the
meals
that
we
didn't
reduce
it.
My
concern
is
always
that,
while
we
save
and
residents
save
in
the
immediate
we
pay
for
it
in
the
long
run,
you
know
we
see
ourselves
now
with
an
infrastructure.
M
You
know
that
we
have
to
keep
up
with
with
the
development
and
the
increase
in
population.
We
have
Services
also
that
suffer
because
of
it.
The
police
department
has
been
without
eight
positions.
Now
we
haven't
filled,
but
they
had
to
go
without
being
able
to
fill
those
positions
and
knowing
that
our
building,
you
know,
is
going
to
continue
in
the
sense
of
the
amenities
we
offer
to
Residents.
M
You
know
to
what
the
average
is
in
the
area
and
so
I
just
want
to
challenge
those
to
not
just
think
of
being
able
to
say
we
didn't
reduce
the
meal.
But
what
services
are
we
able
to
provide
to
keep
our
residents
here
safe
and
be
able
to
keep
up
with
our
infrastructure
needs
when
these
conversations
come
up.
P
P
I
I
totally
applaud
that
effort,
because
we
never,
we
never
have
a
chance
to
say
we're
going
to
give
something
back
and
and
especially
when
you
want
to
give
something
back
to
everyone
at
the
same
time.
So
even
even
though
it
may
cost
us
to
to
do
business
a
different
way,
I
believe
that's
why
we
hired
the
best
of
staff
to
make
sure
they
manage
things
in
a
different
way,
so
keep
your
eyes
on
the
prize
and
as
always,
try
to
find
a
way
to
to
award
our
constituents.
Thank
you.
E
I
I
agree
you
would
reducing
while
we
can
and
still
accomplish
the
two
things
that
we
didn't
get
included
into
in
the
budget.
It
makes
perfect
sense
for
me,
I'm
more
than
proud
to
say,
I
wish
our
officers
made
more
money
than
any
other
officers
in
in
the
area
or
anywhere
else.
I
know
we
can't
do
that,
helping
them
retaining
them,
making
their
lives
better
and
appreciating
them
is
always
important
to
me.
E
The
recycling
I
think
we
had
this
conversation,
there's
an
alternative
that
we
we
could
just
stop
the
recycling
just
how
Waste
Management
that
we
don't
want
the
recycling
program
anymore,
I'm,
against
doing
that,
we
can
save
the
money.
We
could
give
back
a
little
bit
of
money
back
to
our
taxpayers,
but
I
think
most
of
our
taxpayers
would
appreciate.
Having
the
recycling
services
I
know,
my
immediate
family
would
I
I
think
this
is
helping
the
citizens
with
their
tax
bills.
We
can
always
go
up.
E
M
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
counter
what
counts.
Hamilton
said.
Thank
him
for
his
compliment,
but
he's
correct.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
save
residents,
and
so,
while
it's
a
financial,
save
coming
back
again
to
Services
they're
not
saved,
you
know
when
we
were
in
a
place
being
short
staffed
with
officers,
thinking
about
retention
and
even
the
quality
for
them.
M
In
addition
to
Residents,
we've
had
officers
who
are
working
overtime
and
working
additional
hours
to
fill
in
where
we
had
gaps
of
not
being
able
to
provide
for
those
positions,
and
so
residents
pay
for
that.
When
we've
had
people
ask
well
how
come
I
can't
get
Patrols
in
my
neighborhoods
or
how
come
you
know,
officers
used
to
be
able
to
do
whatever
how
come
we
don't
have
it
anymore
and
the
response
was
well.
We
don't,
we
didn't,
have
the
staff
at
the
time
to
provide
it.
M
So
if
we're
dealing
with
the
problem,
when
it's
a
problem,
it's
too
late,
it's
like
I'd
rather
look
at
look
at
the
the
road
ahead
and
how
do
we
address
things
before
we
get
there,
because
we
know
that,
as
our
population
increase,
services
are
going
to
increase,
the
need
for
staff
is
going
to
increase.
You
know
we're
building
more
amenities,
we're
going
to
have
an
additional
need
for
staff
to
maintain
those.
A
B
B
We
have
had
trouble
with
retaining
officers,
but
part
of
that
was
we
let
our
wage
and
salary
plan
get
behind
us
and
lapse,
and
we've
revealed
our
weakness
that
we
were
like
13
or
whatever
it
was
backwards
in
our
pay,
and
we
were
trying
to
make
up
that.
This
is
trying
to
make
up
for
that
again
since
that
wage
and
salary
analysis
took
place
because
of
the
people
around
us.
The
other
part
of
it
is-
and
this
is
really
where
I'm
going
with
you-
is
we're
still
a
little
bit
in
the
growth
mode.
B
We
still
have
commercials
that
we're
talking
about
that
is
finally
starting
to
catch
up
with
the
rooftops,
and
the
mill
will
continue
to
grow
in
value
for
the
next
amount
of
years.
Is
that
a
fair
assessment
in
your
opinion?
Yes,
so
for
me
personally,
I
think
the
arguments
are
sound
but
I'm
good
with
where
your
recommendation
would
be,
and
let's
see
where
we
end
up
a
few
years
from
now.
A
A
A
So
how
dare
we
cut
either
I,
just
don't
want
and
I
think
all
of
you
are
important,
but
we
have
gone
through
that
process
for
all
of
Staff.
But
how
do
we
keep
these
officers
excited
to
work
for
this
Chief
in
this
town?
And
you
know,
let's
just
be
very
careful
about
skimming
too
much
over
the
time.
Smart
in
the
end
of
the
budget
year,
you
know
where
we
know
where
we
are,
but
don't
be
afraid
to
bring
this
up
to
us
through
Stephen
that
this
is
stuff.
A
B
R
Correct
so
it's
a
little
tricky
when
you
break
it
down,
because
we
still
have
our
Tiff.
So
technically
we
only
get
50
of
the
properties
from
Texas
go
to
general
fund.
The
other
sits
in
our
debt
service
fund
for
tip
dust
Service,
as
well
as
projects
that
fall
within
the
tip.
So
it
looks
a
little
funky
because
of
that,
but
that
is
a
factor
as
well
as
here
we
have
our
debt
service
Mill
of
1.7,
which
again
that
only
goes
in
debt
service,
paid
that
service
or
or
a
couple
of
products.
Good.
P
R
M
To
crack
out,
that's
not
what
I
was
implying.
What
I
was
saying
is
we
were
not
able
to
retain
a
lot
of
officers,
they
weren't,
leaving
and
going
in
the
other
field,
some
left
and
went
to
Hardeeville
or
what
left
and
went
to
neighboring
places
where
they
could
get
more
money?
And
it's
like
you
have
to
think
about
that.
E
So
I
I
think
the
reason
we're
even
talking
about
this
tonight
if
I'm
putting
the
whole
package
together
properly,
had
these
requests
and
and
from
the
police
department
and
from
Waste
Management
all
have
been
done
before
budget
time.
We
could
have
saved
money,
cut
money
somewhere
else,
probably
and
made
it
all
work,
but
because
the
budget's
already
done
it's
the
only
way
we
can
provide
this
service
to
our
officers
in
the
service
to
our
people
with
the
recycling
increases
is
to
do
it
this
way
and
is
that
somewhere.
R
A
A
Any
discussion
all
in
favor,
say
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
that's
unanimous,
yeah,
the
good
stuff
we
work
on
guys
and
we
care
about
our
police,
get
with
him
too
yeah
great
job.
We
have
a
consent
agenda
so
on
the
consent.
Agenda
are
a
lot
of
items.
We
would
stay
here
till
11
o'clock
at
night,
but
the
most
important
I
feel
are
the
monthly
reports
and
you
can
look
on
them
online
and
see
what
the
police
is
doing.
Finance
projects.
Everything
is
in
that
item
number
one.
A
We
usually
vote
on
this
as
a
whole
consent
agenda.
Is
there
anything
we
need
to
remove
and
I
believe
Mr
finger
said?
We
didn't
need
to
remove
item
number
two
three,
because
whenever
we
sit
here
and
we
have
someone
that
might
have
conflict,
they
can't
vote
on
it
and
for
this
particular
item
one
of
our
councilmen
has
a
conflict.
So
he
will
not
vote
on
this.
He
will
recuse
himself
I
guess
so,
with
the
exception
of
item
number
three,
which
is
to
an
approving
Amendment
to
the
agreement
with
eagles
field.
B
A
A
A
That's
unanimous
y'all
get
to
go
home
because
now
we
go
on
Executive
session.
Is
there
a
motion
to
go
into
executive
session
for
personnel
matters
regarding
Town
Council
appointments
boards,
committees
and
commissions,
Freedom
of
Information
Act
3470
A1
their
second
any
discussion
all
in
favor
step
by
saying,
aye
aye
all
opposed
we're
an
executive
session,
Terry
you're
going
to
tell
them
they
don't
have
to
stay.
We
might
have
action
from
executive
session,
but
it'd
be
on
a
committee.
