We
had
a
budget
workshop

May

If
there
are
no
changes,
is
there
a
motion
to
accept?
Second,
second,
any
discussion,
all

favor,
say
by
saying
aye

opposed
that's
unanimous,
followed
by
May
30th.
It
was
a
budget
Workshop
meeting
in
a
minute
changes
it's
not
as
their
emotion
to
accept
these
minutes,
any
discussion
all
in
favor
state
by
saying,
aye
aye.
Thank
you
moving
on
to
presentation,
celebrations
and
recognitions
real
hard.
A
We
might
miss
this
to
celebrate
the
character
trait
of
the
month
it
this
is
done
by
in
and
y'all
can
come
up.
We
get
our
student,
who
is
Avery,
Rogers
come
on
up
Avery
and
your
family
and
your
teacher.
The
school
district
does
this,
but
we
just
feel
it's
important
since
we
have
such
a
young
community
that
we
celebrate
our
students
who
who
win
anything.
So
it's
a
character
trait
of
the
month.
Our
district
pictures.
A
We
compilate
half
of
our
district.
Our
cluster
is
almost
half
of
our
district,
but
this
is
in
every
cluster
in
the
county,
so
from
kindergarten
to
12th
grade
each
month.
These
names
are
put
into
a
to
a
pile
and
then
they're
selected.
So
you
won
out
of
every
school
in
the
Bluffton
cluster
and
some
we
think
it's
worth
letting
people
know
who
you
are.
So
you,
your
trait,
was
forgiveness.
So
do
you
have
a
teacher
that
wants
to
talk
about
this?
Oh
man.
D
A
We'll
see
her,
thank
you.
You've
got
a
lot
on
your
shoulder.
It's
a
lovely
family
and
we
have
a
lovely
certificate
for
you,
which
could
go
to
help
for
scholarships
and
references
and
all
kind
of
things
you're
going
to
have
to
do
Renee
and
then
the
coin
is
very
special
because
they
really
only
give
it
out
to
people
is.
A
A
Juneteenth
proclamation
in
Selena,
if
Selena
Chisholm
would
come
up.
She's
gonna
accept
this
we're
at
our
start,
while
you're
walking,
whereas
on
January
1st
1863.
President
Abraham
Lincoln,
signed
the
Emancipation
Proclamation,
which
declared
the
enslaved
peoples
in
any
state
or
designated
a
part
of
a
state
to
then
this
or
and
forever
agree.
Whereas
this
Proclamation
paved
the
way
for
the
passing
of
the
13th
Amendment
to
the
Constitution,
which
formerly
abolished
slavery
in
the
United
States
of
America.
A
E
To
do
so
well,
I
just
want
to
say
that
this
event
is
just
to
show
the
accomplishment
that
our
culture
have
achieved
throughout
the
years
and
it's
just
to
bring
people
in
unity.
Now
Friday
we
have
our
food
truck,
which
is
going
to
be
from
5
to
10
p.m,
at
the
buck,
Walters
Commerce,
Park
and
then
Saturday
is
the
big
event.
The
8th,
Annual
Juneteenth
Festival,
that's
going
to
be
between
4
and
10
p.m.
E
A
A
Friend
and
anniver
and
gun
violence
awareness
month,
so
we're
honored
to
read
this
for
you.
Whereas
gun
violence
touches
every
segment
of
our
society
of
all
ages,
it
increases
the
probability
of
death
and
incidents
and
of
domestic
violence.
Race
is
the
likelihood
of
fatality
by
those
who
intend
to
injure
others
and
among
those
who
attempt
suicide.
A
It
places
children
and
young
people
at
increased
risk
of
physical
harm
and
injury
and
disproportionately
affects
our
communities
of
color,
whereas
gun
violence,
Awareness
Month
honors
the
many
lives
that
have
been
cut
short
by
gun
violence
in
our
country
and
our
community
and
supports
efforts
to
reduce
gun
related
crimes
in
the
United
States.
For
us,
it
is
important
to
recognize
Community
organizations
which
assist
families
that
have
been
directly
impacted
by
gun
violence
and
provide
a
Continuum
of
Care
to
grieving
parents,
spouses,
family
members
and
friends
who
must
continue
to
provide
for
surviving
family
members
rest.
A
The
town
supports
continued
Statewide
efforts
to
strengthen
gun
safety
laws
and
educate
the
community
on
safe
gun
storage,
whereas
it
is
appropriate
to
set
aside
time
to
honor
those
Americans
whose
lives
are
cut
short
each
year
by
gun
violence
and
the
countless
survivors
whose
lives
are
forever
altered.
Now,
therefore,
Alisa
sulka
near
the
town
of
Lupton,
on
behalf
of
the
Town
Council,
to
hereby
Proclaim
June
2023
in
Bluffton,
is
gun
violence
awareness
month
and
urge
all
citizens,
businesses,
organizations
and
agencies
to
work
collaboratively
to
reduce
gun
violence
in
our
community.
G
A
A
Council
had
asked
that
our
town
attorney
get
an
attorney
general's
opinion
on
some
of
our
public
comment,
because
we've
strengthened
some
of
our
rules
since
we've
been
at
the
municipal
Association,
so
it
is
published
it's
on
the
Attorney
General's
site.
I
thought
I
would
just
go
over
a
couple
of
things
to
Allegra
it,
but
it
did
give
us
comfort
that
our
reasonable
Rules
of
Order
were
within
the
jurisdiction
of
what
we
can
do,
and
it
was
basically
confining
the
comments.
A
I'll
just
read
this:
combining
the
comments
to
three
minutes
per
meeting,
regardless
of
whether
the
person
is
speaking
on
their
own
behalf
or
an
agent
for
others.
Meeting
attend
days,
made
them
not
donate,
transfer,
yield
or
give
all
or
any
portion
of
their
speaking
time
to
another
person,
and
that
was
really
fair
by
the
attorney
general
and
did
not
prohibit
the
freedom
of
the
first
amendment
protection.
All
public
comments,
or
could
sorry
are
to
be
conducted
from
the
podium
and
directed
to
the
Town
Council
as
a
whole
and
not
too
many
member
thereof.
A
All
speakers
help
confine
their
comments
to
issues
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
Town
Council.
They
shall
not
use
the
per
the
period
to
advertise
Awards
or
businesses
or
candidates
for
public
office.
Any
speaker
that
violates
these
rules.
The
protocols
may
be
ruled
out
of
order
by
the
presiding
officer.
A
These
comments
have
been
ruled
out
of
order
shall
immediately
cease
and
desist
from
future
I
mean
from
further
improper
comments
and
the
refusal
of
an
individual
to
desist
from
further
improper
comments
may
be
subject
to
removal
from
the
meeting
and
or
citation
under
our
section
2.49
of
the
Talent
Code.
Please
read
that
overall
I
think
everyone
understands
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
get
that
in
the
so
we
have
public
comment
and
I
will
eat
this
and
be
able
to
talk.
Maybe
we'll
move
to
our
hearing
I'll,
let
you
call
everyone
Andrew
keel,.
H
Andrew
Keel
I
live
at
22,
Trail
Ridge,
Retreat,
Wilson,
South
Carolina,
so
I
was
coming
up
because
I
had
a
couple
questions.
As
you
know,
I
live
in
midpoint
subdivision
and
plans
are
moving
forward
there
and
when
did
the
DRC
meeting
or
the
preliminary
development
plan
and
I
was
under
the
impression
that
the
preliminary
development
plan
would
then
have
to
go
to
planning,
Council
I
believe
unless
I
misunderstood
a
person
I
talked
to
there
from
the
town
stated.
That
was
the
case.
H
I
just
provoke
emailed
Mr
Frazier.
He
said
that
once
there's
a
preliminary
development
plan
approved
by
the
DRC,
it
doesn't
go
to
Planning,
Commission
and
then
I
guess
I'm,
not
sure
what
happens
after
that.
So
I'm
trying
to
get
clarification
as
to
what
exactly
the
process
is
now
I
found
the
department
of
growth
management
customer
service
center
application
process
table
that
was
on
the
town
website.
That
indicates
that
it
would
have
to
go
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
therefore
have
some
public
comment
now.
H
I
understand
this
is
a
PUD,
so
the
Pud
agreement
May
alter
that.
But
then
again
when
I
read
the
puds
section,
which
the
amendments
to
master
plans
then
follow
on
five
eight
eleven
a
it
says,
the
development
plan
shall
be
submitted
to
the
development
review
board
or
its
designated
agent
and
such
other
professional
advisors.
The
town,
May
designate,
so
I'm
kind
of
curious
why
this
chart
doesn't
apply
and
therefore
the
preliminary
development
plan
doesn't
go
to
the
Planning
Commission.
H
I
would
like
to
know
that,
because
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
an
issue
because
there's
other
developments
that
are
going
to
be
started
again,
that
everybody
comes
in
and
amends
their
master
plan
like
in
Southern,
Oaks,
I,
think,
there's
43
Acres
that
somebody
wants
to
build
on
now
so
I
imagine
they'll,
amend
their
master
plan
and
just
like
at
at
the
Halston
Park
meeting
three
or
four
meetings
ago,
where
they
want
to
build
on
the
the
other
side
of
the
road
going
to
the
Community
Park.
This
might
be
an
issue.
H
A
A
K
Skip
Hoagland
windmill,
Harbor,
Miss
Sulkin.
We
need
a
law
compliance
pledge,
you
send
emails
from
your
town
and
personal
real
estate,
emails
to
Bill
miles
of
the
chamber,
Kim
Likens
and
Bill
Harkins
pass
Hilton,
Head
council
members
to
say,
stop
and
get
Mr
Hoagland.
It
is
not
a
fact.
Both
you
and
liken's
defamation
lawsuit
were
both
frivolous
and
malicious
and
schemed
with
you
and
others.
Miss
silke
I
am
a
in
technology
business
and
these
emails
have
been
captured
off
these
servers
and
you
will
and
will
be
used
against
you.
K
K
You
use
illegal
tax
money
to
join
the
town
of
Bluffton,
with
Orlando
to
become
a
Hilton
Head
chamber,
member
versus
your
own
money,
who
is
a
member
since
you
use
tax
money,
just
you
and
town
employees
or
all
taxpayers
in
Bluffton,
plus
the
Hilton
Head
Chambers,
using
Millions
to
of
tax
money
for
its
illegal
use.
Miss
silke!
Is
it
not
a
fact
the
50
million
dollar
judgment
you
won
against
me
with
Murdoch
lawyers
was
frivolous,
malicious
and
scheme
to
silence
my
voice
with
from
exposing
your
lives
and
Corruption?
K
Is
it
not
a
fact
that
your
lawsuits
were
ruled
against
the
rule
of
law
and
and
a
judge
was
caught
lying
saying?
He
saw
enough
evidence
to
allow
my
case
to
go
to
trial.
Miss
sulka,
you
understand,
I
will
seek
lawsuits
in
the
same
50
million
from
you,
since
you
did
lie
with
your
Murdoch
lawyers
and
I
have
all
the
evidence
on
my
side.
Miss
sulka.
You
committed
illegal
acts.
Criminal
perjury,
you
scheme
to
harm
not
only
me,
but
my
innocent
wife,
who
also
accused
of
committing
fraud
and
conspiracy
to
hide
50
million
dollars.
K
It's
massive
Insanity.
You
will
pay
a
big
price
for
this
Miss
silicon.
You
are
in
trouble,
you
are
you
and
your
crooked
Murdoch
lawyers
will
never
collect
an
insane.
50
million
judgment
against
me
fact
is.
You
owe
me,
50
million
for
your
illegal
acts
and
your
extreme
violations
to
the
First
Amendment
rights.
I,
never
defamed.
You
I
spoke
the
truth
about
you.
K
K
L
K
L
K
A
Follow
up
on
that
and
I
think
our
town
attorney
might
not
remember
this
and
I'm
looking
to
retreat,
but
at
the
Heritage
Foundation
Retreat
we
showed
the
video
of
the
history
of
the
Heritage
right
and
Ben.
Frazier
was
one
of
the
key
people
and
he's
over
all
the
landscaping
and
sea
times,
and
it
was
an
interesting
thing.
He
said
in
this
video
that
I
hope
we
send
out
one
day
it's
a
fabulous
video
is,
he
leaves
Bluffton
and
the
sun
is
rising,
he's
late
for
work.
A
A
They
do
a
thousand
women,
a
smart
woman's
lunch
which
we've
been
part
of
with
the
women
in
the
town,
supporting
that
and
I
walked
in
on
wsav
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
Tina
Taya
Shaw
was
talking
about
Bluffton
Mama
day,
so
I
immediately
called
her
and
immediately
called
Dr
henchy
and
thanked
him.
They
raised
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
at
last
year's
luncheon
to
buy
a
mobile
mammo
van,
so
Tina
has
made
it
an
effort
to
get
them
in
Bluffton
they're
coming
June
21st
Debbie
sent
out
the
info.
A
You
just
go
on
wsav,
slash,
Bluffton
Mamo
day
and
insured
or
not
memo.
You've
got
to
set
up
a
time,
but
it's
really
for
the
ladies,
who
are
not
insured
they're,
not
going
to
charge
anything
if
you
do
have
insurance
they're
going
to
try
to
process
it,
but
it's
just
fabulous.
So
if
everyone
can
spread
that
that
is
just
man
drop
the
mic
moment
on
that.
So
I
did
want
to
let
everyone
know
that
Terry
I
didn't
mean
to
stop
you,
but
I
just
didn't
want
to
interrupt
the
public
comment.
N
No
I
just
wanted
to
say
for
the
record
that,
prior
to
the
meeting
today
at
about
a
quarter
to
five
Mr
Hoagland
approached
me
gave
me
the
POA
from
Miss.
Greeley
I
told
him.
That
was
fine,
but
he
had.
He
was
limited
to
three
minutes
and
that
if
he
went
over
three
minutes
he
undoubtedly
would
be
disturbing
our
meeting,
keeping
us
from
moving
forward
that
he
would
be
escorted
out
and
he
would
probably
be
given
a
citation.
A
A
We
have
issues,
you
know,
Mr
Keel
gets
up
and
he
has
issues
and
wants
answers,
and
you
know
he's
being
patient
and
waiting
for
this,
which
I
hope
we
can
get
an
answer,
maybe
now
or
get
with
him,
and
we
this
gentleman
actually
asked
our
judge
to
get
an
AG
opinion,
so
we
did
and
right
wrong
or
indifferent.
We
just
wanted
to
make
sure
our
rules
were
reasonable
and
based
on
what
they
said.
There
wasn't
one
that
wasn't
reasonable,
so
I
hope
those
are
listening
know
we
are
trying
to
be
as
respectful
as
possible.
A
At
the
same
time,
we've
got
business
to
do
and
we
are
a
working.
Council
and
I
am
a
working
mayor
and
we
all
have
families
and
you
all
have
families
and
we're
holding
you
up,
but
this
is
important
for
our
residents,
so
we
have
40
000
of
them.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
we,
our
heads,
are
in
the
game,
so
I
do
apologize
anything
else
from
Council
Heather.
Do
you
want
to
just
get
with
Mr
Keel
on
those
questions?
Okay,
because
I
agree,
there
should
maybe
be
some
kind
of
format.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
bringing
that
to
our
attention
anything
else.
Okay,
we
have
moved
up
consent
agenda
because
just
this
one
time
only
because
we
need
to
get
something
approved
before
we
go
into
our
formal
items,
so
there
is
a
consent
agenda
section
now.
Is
there
anything
anyone
would
like
pulled
off
for
more
discussion?
A
Is
there
a
second
any
discussion,
all
in
favor,
step
by
saying
I
I
opposed
that's
unanimous.
Next
we
have
a
public
hearing
and
this
is
for
our
2024
budget.
So
it's
approving
the
town
of
Bluffton
fiscal
year,
2024
proposed
Consolidated
budget
I'm
gonna
call
first
call
for
public
comment
on
our
budget
during
the
public.
Hearing.
A
C
C
The
amount
that
we
sent

greater
Bluffton
chamber
or
the
Hilton
Head
Bluffton

there
and
then
also

15
percent
that
we
are
going
to
use
for,
affordable
housing
that
we
are
now
allowed
to
do
so,
underneath
the
state
law
that
was
passed
this
year,
Capital
Improvement
fund
increased
by
63
900.
That
is
that
four
percent
of
that
that
we
cut
from
the
Bluffton
Hilton
Head
Bluffton
Chamber
of
Commerce.
C
It
was
an
eight
percent
Force,
going
staying
in
the
local
Accommodations
Tax
forced
going
to
CIP
projects,
we're
going
to
move
that
over
and
that
was
that
increase
of
60
900
that
you
see
there
so
remember.
We
had
eight
percent
of
local,
a
tax
that
was
going
to
fund
four
percent
staying
in
local,
a
tax,
we're
going
to
use
that
to
offset
expenses
that
we
have
and
then
the
other
portions
going
over
to
CIP
to
help
offset
CIP
projects
that
can
go
for
they
can
look
away.
C
C
So
I'm
gonna
go
through
our
funds
real
quick
again.
This
is
our
Consolidated
budget
broken
up
by
funds.
So
you
can
see
our
total
budget
for
the
years
proposed
to
is
proposed
to
be
78.
000.
Excuse
me:
78
million
572
643
dollars.
This
is
a
7.2
percent
increase,
but
I
will
again
just
like
I've
done
all
the
other
ones
point
out
that
we
are
now
tracking
our
special
Revenue
funds
as
part
of
one
of
our.
C
Our
special
Revenue
funds
now
includes
hospitality
and
local
Accommodations
Tax,
so
the
previous
year,
you'll
see
in
23
there's
a
zero
in
that
line
and
24
it's
9.3
million
dollars.
So
if
you
remove
that
out
of
the
budget
for
this
year,
it's
actually
of
a
decrease
of
about
four
million
dollars
over
where
we
were
last
year.
We
just
didn't.
Have
the
we
didn't
track
those
funds
in
our
Consolidated
budget
this
year
we
are
so
there's
that
you
can
see
that
Zero
versus
the
nine
million.
That's
what
is
showing
that
increase
that's
in
there.
C
So
so
what
is
our
current
Consolidated
budget
do?
Some
of
the
highlights?
Is
it
recognizes
some
of
the
Slowdown
we've
had
in
the
growth
for
residential
construction
that
we've
seen
it
keeps
our
property
tax
millage
the
same
at
38.5
meals
as
I've
said
numerous
times
it
is
pending
reassessment,
that's
ongoing
at
the
County
right
now.
So
once
we
start
getting
more
reassessment
updates
we'll
provide
that
to
council
and
we'll
have
to
revisit
our
millage
once
we
get
what
the
increase
in
values
are,
and
we
have
to
do.
C
C
Yeah
yeah,
yes,
sir
yeah
I'm,
assuming
the
property
values
are
going
to
continue
to
go
up.
I
was
wondering
if
you
saw
something
I
didn't
know.
The
the
key
to
remember
is
during
reassessment
the
max
with
act.
388
that
a
property
value
can
increase
is
15
percent.
So
this
is
a
lot
of
times
for
our
longtime
homeowners.
C
We
talked
about
neighborhood
assistance
as
part
of
our
affordable
housing
priority
historic
preservation.
I
mentioned
funds
that
can
go
to
Squire
of
Hope,
with
one
of
our
major
historic
renovation
projects
right
now.
Enhancing
quality
of
life.
We'll
talk
about
that
in
CIP
for
a
lot
of
the
sidewalk
sewers
and
other
projects
we're
doing
throughout
the
town
Parks.
C
It
also
works
to
keep
our
pay
competitive.
As
we
talked
about,
we
did
our
class
in
comp
Study
last
year,
so
between
our
class
and
comp
study
and
our
Merit
increase
that
we
have
in
our
current
budget.
That's
about
to
end
all
employees
got
on
average
of
about
a
seven
percent
increase
from
that
and
then
a
two
percent
from
the
Merit
increase.
So
we
had
about
nine
percent
on
average
increase
last
year
this
year,
it'd
be
about
four
percent,
two
percent
Cola,
which
would
a
lot
bump
our
pay
bands
up
to
keep
us
competitive.
C
So
when
we
do
our
next
class
in
comp,
our
pay
bands
aren't
staying
stagnant
while
we
see
salaries
grow
and
then
the
other
would
be
a
mid-year
Merit
increase.
So
that's
about
a
13
increase
over
the
last
two
years
for
our
employees,
as
we
talked
about
in
our
second
Works,
our
first
Workshop
we've
gotten
our
mean
and
median
salary
for
our
employees
actually
above
the
Ami
level,
so
we're
beating
our
County
for
median
income.
Here
at
the
town,
so
that's
something
we've
done
over
the
past
two
years,
Clarity.
I
C
Right
and
the
and
the
cost
in
the
cola
cost
of
living
adjustments
will
allow
us
to
keep
that
from
being
so
start
so
drastic
in
the
future
and
then,
as
I
talked
about
and
invest
in
public
infrastructure.
You
can
see
a
list
of
a
lot
of
our
CRP
projects
that
are
ongoing
and
that
we
have
in
the
future
there.
C
So
it
does
propose
some
master
fee
schedule
changes.
Some
of
this
is
to
catch
up
with
the
cost
of
actually
doing
stuff.
We
mentioned
off-duty
police
pay.
That's
to
recognize
the
increase
we've
had
for
the
cost
of
a
police
officer
from
where
we've
been
bumping,
pay
up,
retirement's
increased
Insurance
increase
so
forth.
It
does
add
a
new
rental
fee
for
the
Buckwalter
Park
that
we
purchased
the
old
evercore
park.
That
is
now
our
Buckwalter
Amphitheater
Park.
So
it
creates
a
rental
fee.
C
We
added
one
in
there
for
some
things
that
we
didn't
have
for
printing
copies
of
documents.
Like
our
comp
plan,
we
had
somebody
asked
for
a
hard
copy
of
that
and
it's
about
seventy
dollars
to
print.
So
we
added
a
fee
in
there
for
anybody
who
wants
a
hard
copy.
We
are
going
to
put
it
in
the
library
so
in
the
future,
you'll
we'll
have
our
comp
plan
and
some
of
our
other
plans
we're
going
to
ask
the
library
to
put
them
on
the
Shelf.
C
Was
that
what
you
were
going
to
say,
mayor,
okay,
and
then
we
also
added
one
more
stormwater
fee.
It's
the
same
amount,
it's
just
a
re-inspection
fee
versus
whenever
we
have
to
go
out
and
inspect
ponds
that
have
been
closed
out
and
there's
the
map
for
the
portion
of
the
buckwater
park
that
will
now
be
rentable
and
we'll
you'll
be
able
to
either
rent
Park
a
or
Part
B
or
all
of
it
together
for
a
uniform
fee.
C
I
think
Park
a
is
a
little
cheaper,
I
would
think
with
the
amphitheater
and
all
that
I
think
it's
300
and
this
one's
600,
if
you
want
to
rent
them,
both
together,
it'd
be
900
for
the
for
renting
both
of
them.
So
it's
just
a
lump
of
the
two
together
so
and
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
rent
this
for
birthdays
and
I
have
a
feeling.
C
So
for
this
we
use
we
use
what
we
charge
for
other
parts,
what
had
already
been
set
by
Council.
So
when
we
looked
at
the
fee
to
charge
for
this
one,
we
looked
at
the
amount
of
land
that
there's
to
rent
the
amenities
that
are
there
for
power
for
being
able
to
have
the
whole
area
fenced
off
and
secured.
And
we
looked
at
Oyster,
Factory
and
Wright
family
or
Martin
family
and
looked
at
what
we
charged
for
those
and
made
it
the
same.
O
C
That
working
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
recommend
and
I
went
over
it
because
I
talked
about
the
rental
fee
is
bumping
our
cleaning
fee
up
and
it's
for
that
reason,
because
we
redid
our
cleaning
contract
for
the
town
and
they
raised
their
fee
to
do
a
cleaning
after
event.
So
we
have
made.
We
did
that
to
break
even
to
make
sure
that
what
we
pay,
the
contractor
is
being
the
same
as
what
we
charge
for
that.
We'll
track
that
and
see
what
we
what
it
looks
like
just
like
we
do
with
other.
C
If
we
need
to
adjust
that
rate,
we
can
come
back
to
council
and
have
that
conversation,
but
without
having
rented
it
out
before
it's
hard
to
adjust
to
guess
how
much
power
usage,
water
usage
and
all
that
we're
going
to
see
and
how
much
additional
maintenance
and
upkeep
we're
going
to
see
until
we
actually
see
what
kind
of
people
ran
them
and
what
that.
What
that
looks
like
over
the
next
year
or
two?
A
I
think
does
that
600
a
day
plus
the
cleaning
fee,
Break
Even
of
Staff
time
and
maintenance
and
I-
think
that's
where
we
kind
of
wanted.
We
want
this
to.
We
don't
want
to
lose
money
on
it,
but
I,
don't
think
we
ever
thought.
Parks
were
going
to
be
a
money
maker.
So
are
we
losing?
Are
we
breaking
even
I.
C
Think
we
track
that
we
can
look
into
it
and
one
of
the
things
that
affects
that
is,
if
you're
a
non-profit,
we
normally
let
you
rent
it
for
free.
So
a
lot
of
that
reduces
the
amount
of
Revenue
because
I
would
say,
probably
a
third,
if
not
half,
of
who
wants
to
rent
our
facilities
or
non-profits,
so
that
that
affects
that.
C
B
Yeah
and
I
was
I
was
thinking
when
we
were
advised
this.
You
know
four
or
five
years
ago,
whatever
the
the
non-profits
were
a
half
of
what
a
normal
fee
was.
It
wasn't
supposed
to
be
free
because
we
have
a
lot
of
non-profits
that
are
legit,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
non-profits
that
aren't
really
non-profits
that
are
utilizing
their
opportunity
for
certain.
B
You
know
for
some
of
this
stuff
I've
witnessed,
especially
at
the
Oyster
Factory,
Park
and
and
even
at
the
other
parts,
when
there
is
an
event
on
Saturday
night
I've
had
to
call
Stephen
or
somebody
to
get
there
to
come
and
trash
cans
are
overrun
and
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
goes
in.
You
know
not
just
a
small
birthday
party
so
to
speak,
but
there
there
is
a
lot
of
expense.
C
And
we've
actually
addressed
that
with
flexing
of
staff,
so
we
have
a
staff
or
two
that
actually
work
on
the
weekends
now
to
address
that
as
Devin
to
have
them
all
work,
the
same
schedule
and
having
to
have
them
called
in.
So
we
we've
handled
a
lot
of
that
by
having
people
at
least
one
or
two
people
here
on
the
weekends
now,
with
the
events
to
be
able
to
go
and
address
that
plus.
O
C
O
C
M
Not
a
question
just
a
comment
while
we're
on
the
subject
in
it's
Council,
Minnie
Hamilton
said
he
didn't
know
the
rest
of
council's
thoughts.
I'll
weigh
in
on
mine,
I
agree
in
regards
to
non-profits,
but
when
it
comes
to
for-profits
I
think
we
should
be
looking
to
do
more
than
just
break,
even
in
the
sense
of
we
do
spend
a
lot
of
money
in
parks,
and
it
is
a
lot
of
effort
and
time
even
from
public
works
and
maintaining
and
keeping
the
parks
up
to
date
and
and
upfitting
them.
M
So
it
would
almost
be
kind
of
at
you
know,
disadvantageous
to
to
create
them
and
not
expect
to
be
able
to
to
have
some
type
of
Revenue
that
goes
beyond
just
just
break,
even
because
we
tout
ourselves
to
be
known
for
parks
and
what
we're
doing
here.
So
it
has
to
kind
of
make
sense
too
and
being
able
to
continuously
man
them,
especially
as
we're
adding
on
more
more
Parks.
O
Richard
Dooney
the
only
problem
that
we're
going
to
run
into
that
with
that
is
that
we're
going
to
tax
people
out
of
the
parks,
and
we
don't
want
to
do
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
we
the
park,
is
accessible
to
the
community.
So
you
don't
want
to
look
for
a
profit,
because
that
means
that
they
can
use
in
parks
and
a
lot
of
people
who
would
like
to
use
the
parks
probably
couldn't
afford
it.
But.
M
That's
for
non-profit,
if
it's
for-profit,
no
different
than
whether
it's
the
beef
or
Waterfront
Park
or
any
other
Parks,
even
the
parks
that
we
have
now
sometimes
there's
multiple
people
running
to
want
to
be
able
to
rent
these
parks
for
their
Festival
events
or
music
events
are
going
on.
It's
not
the
same
as
a
family,
wanting
to
do
a
birthday
party
or
anything
else,
because
those
are
still
first
come.
First
serve
and
non-profits
aren't
waived
into
the
same
fee
criteria
as
the
for-profit
I'm.
Just
saying
in
that
breakdown,
it
should
be
looked
at
differently.
C
Well,
and
as
we
and
Larry
had
a
question
well
and
as
we
have
the
new
Riverside
Barn
come
on,
that's
going
to
be
a
completely
different
kind
of
fee
schedule
that
we're
needing
to
look
at
with
that
Barn
venue
and
stuff
like
that.
So
it
can
continue
to
be
a
longer
conversation.
I
do
have
one
comment,
but
I
can
hold.
I
can
keep
mine
until.
B
Yeah-
and
this
was
before
your
time
when
we
revised
these
rules
and
stuff
I'm-
quite
sure
there
was
a
stipulation
in
there
that
the
part
could
be
used
by
a
non-profit
for
so
many
times
a
year,
not
I
think
it's
four.
They
can
use
it
for
10
or
whatever,
because
you
know
I'll
just
throw
it
out
there
the
way
it
is
because
I
shoot
from
the
hip.
A
B
C
I'll
point
out,
as
we
start
talking
about
fees,
and
we
talk
about
our
cost-
we're
going
to
get
in
in
a
minute
to
talk
about
our
local
atax
hospitality
and
how
we've
recalculated,
what
we
transfer
from
those
to
offset
some
of
our
expenses
that
we
use
to
handle
some
of
these
events.
So
now
we
have
those
transfers
coming
in
and
they
help
offset
some
of
the
costs
for
that
department.
C
So
just
keep
that
in
mind,
as
we
start
talking
about
what
we
generate
and
the
positions
and
that
kind
of
stuff,
we
also
have
those
other
Revenue
sources
that
are
going
to
be
coming,
that
we're
going
to
Chris
has
done
the
calculation
on
that.
Allow
that
we're
going
to
transfer
those
in
to
help
offset
some
of
those
costs
as
well.
So
there's
just
another
aspect
of
that
to
keep.
C
To
the
the
right,
the
police,
but
also
Lindy
and
Debbie,
because
and
tia,
because
a
lot
of
stuff
they
do
is
marketing
the
events
or
Lindy
is
going
out
and
meeting
them
on
side
and
securing
it
so
they're
their
costs
can
be
offset.
So
some
of
that's
being
it's
going
to
start
being
done
with
that
transfer
from
accommodations
and
Hospitality.
So
just
to
keep
that
in
mind,
that
was
part
of
that
calculation.
That
Chris
did
this
year.
Okay,.
C
Okay,
so
to
move
on
from
that
that
takes
us
to
the
value
of
a
mill.
So,
as
you
can
see
from
fiscal
year
23
to
the
fiscal
year
24,
it
grew
by
about
about
thirty
thousand
dollars
a
little
more
of
value.
So
that
means
one
meal.
Last
year
was
worth
a
little
short
of
295
this
year,
it's
estimated
to
be
worth
about
two
about
329,
328
thousand
dollars,
so
that
shows
the
Positive
Growth
that
we
have
in
the
community
for
the
land,
value
and
I
think
we'll
see
that
again
increase.
C
C
And
then
I
already
talked
a
good
bit
about
this.
It
includes
the
some
of
it
includes
the
cola
and
the
mid-year
Merit
includes
the
PTO
payout
for
25
hours
that
we
do
for
our
employees
to
allow
them
to
sell
back
a
little
bit
of
time
for
those
that
don't
use
it
and
are
good
stewards
of
it.
It
includes
an
increase
in
our
retirement
contribution
for
all
of
our
employees
of
one
percent
I
think
we
have
one
more
year
left
of
that
to
increase.
It
went
upset
it's
going
up,
seven
percent
over
five
years.
C
That
was
the
state
past,
that
it
also
includes
five
percent
increase
in
our
costs
for
employer
and
health
insurance
through
Piva.
It
does
have
a
few
new
positions
in
it.
One
is
a
part-time
position
and
Community
Communications
and
community
outreach,
which
we
just
talked
about
events
and
how
that's
growing
and
that's
why
we
need
that
additional
position.
It
does
talk
about
moving
a
part-time
position
to
a
full-time
and
customer
service.
C
We
are
doing
a
backfill
for
a
position
that
is
retiring
and
I,
think
in
November,
and
so
this
is
in
finance.
So
we'll
get
somebody
in
they'll
Us
train
each
other
she'll
she'll
train
her
replacement
and
when
she
retires
in
November,
this
person
will
step
into
her
role
and
that
works
out
well,
because
they're
responsible
for
the
audit
working
with
our
audit,
so
they'll
be
able
to
train
them
through
this
current
fiscal
Year's
audit.
C
C
That
was
what
Lisa
wanted
as
we
transitioned
and
we
brought
in
a
part-time
judge,
and
then
we
talked
a
lot
about
the
class
III
sros
that
the
police
department
are
working
to
fill
I
think
they
have
three
and
they
have
three
more
that
they
weren't
trying
to
get
in
through
the
process
now.
So
we
can
have
them
as
soon
as
school
gets
done
their
school
as
soon
as
we
can
after
school
starts
thing
with
that
is
those
are
all
Grant
funded,
so
those
are
will
not
cost
the
town.
C
Anything
they're
100
funded
through
a
grant
through
the
state
and
they're
in
partnership
with
the
school
district
and
the
sheriff's
office,
so
they're
working
with
us
on
the
training
and
then
the
school
district
sets
the
rate.
They'll
work
the
same
hours
as
school
officers,
School
teachers
and
staff
staff
do
and
they'll
be
all
for
the
summer
Christmas
just
like
they
are,
and
then
they'll
only
have
jurisdiction
over
the
school
that
they're
working
at.
B
C
The
only
time
there
would
be
any
cost
to
us.
If
say,
we
wanted
to
use
them
for
say
like
the
Christmas
parade
and
they
were
out
for
school
and
we
wanted
to
say:
hey
you
want
to
come
block
traffic
or
help
direct
traffic.
We
might
have
to
pay
them
extra
duty,
pay
to
come
in
and
do
something
like
that,
but
they
can't
they
don't
have
a
resting
power.
They
can
just
do
some
guidance,
it's
given
to
them
all
right.
C
So
a
couple
of
the
more
expenditure
highlights
it
does:
support
professional
development
and
our
staff
certifications
continuing
to
grow
our
staff,
especially
our
Police
Department,
where
we
have
a
bunch
of
young
officers
and
getting
them
certifications
and
building
their
skill
set
continues
our
contract
with
waste
management
for
garbage
surface.
It
supports
ipd
recruitment
retention,
our
mental
health
programs.
That
also
again,
we
talked
about
the
class
three
office
already
historic
preservation
and
our
Don
Ryan
Center
for
innovation,
foreign.
C
It
also
maintains
the
same
level
of
support
that
we
have
with
a
bunch
of
our
Partnerships
with
lutzy
crossing
guards.
Special
investigations
Partnerships
with
the
Sheriff's
Office
and
includes
funding
for
our
neighborhood
plan,
updates
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
Buck
on
simmonsville
right
now
and
then
we'll
figure
out
where
we
want
to
go
after.
C
We
do
that
one
and
then
it
also
continues
our
vehicle
lease
program
for
the
police
department
and
we
talked
about
affordable
housing
several
times,
but
it
is
a
priority,
so
it
is
listed
continuously
and
you'll
see
that
and
then
it
also
does
our
beautification
committee
work
plan,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
getting
into
the
special
revenues,
and
this
is
again
a
new
one.
We
normally
this
hasn't
been
in
here
previously,
so
this
is
These.
C
That's
collected
on
all
prepared
foods
beverages
so,
as
you
can
see,
for
fiscal
year,
24
to
scrolling
to
the
point
where
it's
estimated
to
be
about
3.8
million
dollars
and
then
the
expenditures
out
for
that,
as
you
can
see,
the
majority
of
it
about
72
percent
is
going
in
for
CIP
projects
and
the
other
is
coming
into
the
general
fund
to
support
operations
of
the
town,
our
local
Accommodations
Tax.
This
is
collected.
Three
percent
on
Gross
proceeds
derived
from
rental
and
charges
for
sleeping
accommodations.
I
will
point
out.
C
Four
percent
of
it's
going
to
the
general
fund.
Four
percent
will
go
to
CIP,
so
we
will
repurpose
it
to
programs
that
are
priorities
for
Council.
It
also
proposes
begin
with
the
ACT,
274
or
Senate
284
I
forget
what
act
number.
It
is
56,
something
like
that
where
we
can
now
take
15
percent
of
accommodations
and
local
Accommodations
Tax
and
put
them
towards
affordable
housing
programs
to
begin
moving
that
15
percent
into
our
Capital
project
for
affordable
housing
foreign.
C
C
C
The
permit
fees
are
whenever
construction
is
done,
for
review.
Stormwater
utility
fees
are
collected
annually.
So,
to
give
you
an
idea,
fiscal
year,
23
was
about
2
million
a
little
over
2
million
Social
Security
24
is
only
estimated
to
increase
a
little
over
thirty
thousand
dollars
and
you
can
see
licensing
permits
anticipated
to
go
up
slightly.
C
So
that
gives
you
the
kind
of
breakdown,
with
total
expenditures.
The
majority
going
out
to
CIP
or
Debt
Service
to
help
pay
for
the
debt
obligation
that
we
took
to
continue
the
storm
sewer
projects
that
we
were
doing
the
stormwater
projects
and
then
about
I.
Guess
that's
about
a
third
or
not
even
a
third,
about
with
a
335
thousands
going
to
the
general
fund
to
offset
the
expenditures
related
to
our
stormwater
operations.
C
So
then
we
have
our
CIP
fund.
This
is
where
all
of
our
capital
projects
get
done,
that
we
are
have
a
lot
in
progress
and
we're
continuing
to
push
on
this
gives
you
a
breakdown
of
where
the
revenues
come
from.
From
that
you
can
see
it
totals
about
almost
29
million
dollars
and
then
the
expenditures
break
down
on
where
those
funds
are
going
between
storm
water
and
sewer
projects,
road
projects,
facilities,
land
acquisition,
housing
and
so
forth.
C
And
just
to
give
you
an
idea,
we've
talked
about
projects
underway.
You
can
see
what
the
proposed
budget
for
this
year
was
was
about
a
little
over
36
million
next
year.
It's
about
to
go
down
about
seven
and
a
half
million,
that's
from
the
amount
of
projects
that
we're
pushing
forward
and
getting
those
projects
moving
forward,
so
we're
not
anticipating
having
to
carry
as
much
forward
as
we
did
last
year.
C
This
gives
you
a
breakdown
on
where
those
which
funds
are
supporting,
which
projects.
So
you
can
just
kind
of
see
all
that
together,
it's
a
lot
on
a
chart.
This
is
available
for
anybody
who
wants
to
see
it
and
they
can
look
at
it
more
detailed,
but
it
gives
you
a
breakdown
of
where
it's
coming
in
from
general
fund
Hospitality
tax,
local
Weight
tax,
state
aid,
tax,
storm
water
fees,
our
Tif
bonds,
go
bonds
and
so
forth.
You
can
see
exactly
where
each
project
is
being
funded
as
we
continue
to
move
forward.
C
And
this
just
gives
you
an
idea
of
where
our
projects
are.
This
is
kind
of
a
zoomed
out
version,
so
you
can
see
where
they're
at
as
we
cover
all
of
the
all
of
the
town
in
different
locations
and
then
a
breakdown
for
a
lot
of
the
ones
we
have
going
on
in
Old
Town
to
include
a
lot
of
sewer,
streetscape
and
other
projects
like
that,
then
our
last
fund
is
our
debt
service
fund.
This
is
where
we
borrow
money,
and
then
we
have
to
track
it
and
pay
it
back.
C
C
And
then
I'm
sorry,
7.5
million
dollars.
I
was
looking
at
the
subtotal
up
there
for
revenues
before
the
transfer
ends,
and
then
you
can
see
kind
of
a
breakdown
of
where
those
funds
are
coming
from
to
pay.
Our
debt
about
a
third
is
coming
from
general
fund
about
a
third
is
coming
from
the
CIP
fund
and
then
with
storm
water,
special
and
Debt
Service
fund
and
special
Revenue
fund.
Oh
I'm,
sorry
we're
back
on
Consolidated
budget
I
was
thinking.
We
were
still
on
that
service
yeah.
C
That's
that's
a
breakdown
of
our
Consolidated
Budget
on
how
our
budgets
made
up
apologize.
I
got
ahead
of
myself.
As
you
can
see,
the
general
fund
makes
up
about
38
percent
of
the
budget.
Our
CIP
makes
up
the
next
largest
person
portion,
which
is
about
37
percent,
followed
by
our
special
Revenue
funds,
which
are
new
this
year,
which
is
hospitality
and
accommodations,
and
then
you
can
see
our
debt
service
and
our
stormwater
funds.
C
So
again,
this
is
final
reading
and
the
public
hearing
was
closed
earlier.
So
if
council
is
good
with
what
we
have
and
we've
come
to,
then
I
would
ask
Council
if
you
would
please
adopt
the
budget
so
that
we
can
put
it
in
place.
Beginning
July,
1.
and
I
can
answer
any
of
the
questions
that
you
have
before
you
decide
to
take
any.
C
C
A
C
Yeah,
that's
all
I
wanted
I'm.
Sorry
I
just
want
to
make
sure
before
I
sat
down,
I
think
Natalie
and
her
team
for
what
they've
done.
Chris's
involvement,
all
the
senior
staff
council's
input
that
you
give
us
throughout
the
process
with
all
of
that.
It
makes
this
so
much
smoother
to
do
it
so
quick
and
thank
you
for
everybody
for
being
involved
and
being
engaged.
So
sorry,
I
did
not
mean
interrupt.
A
Too
next
we
have
formal
agenda
agenda
items
which
we
have.
Three
first
is
Natalie
consideration
of
a
resolution
for
the
2024
budget,
marketing
plan
presented
by
Hilton
Head
Bluffton
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
in
accordance
with
contract.
20
22-35
is
the
town
of
bluffton's
designated
marketing
organization,
and
we
have
our
chamber
here.
So
thank
you
all
for.
Q
Staying
yes
good
evening,
mayor
and
Council,
this
is
the
year
two
of
the
contract
that
was
put
into
place
last
year
for
2022-35,
and
this
is
a
per
state
law
where
30
percent
of
our
state,
Accommodations
Tax,
is
submitted
to
our
DMO
to
use
for
promoting
and
advertising.
On
behalf
of
the
town,
ATAC
met
on
May
16th
to
review
the
proposal
by
the
DMO
and
has
recommended
that
Town
Council
award
the
second
year
to
the
DMO
of
the
contract,
which
will
begin
on
July
1st
20.
Q
Q
Q
B
Q
A
F
A
A
C
Yes,
ma'am
I
would
say
if
the
the
revenues
are
lower
than
anticipated
or
whatever,
and
that
budget
would
need
to
adjust.
It
would
just
be
us
sitting
down
with
the
chamber
and
seeing
what
needs
to
be
adjusted
to
reflect
the
priorities
of
to
make
sure
you
know
where
that
funding
was.
It
might
be
15
going
for
this.
C
It
may
need
to
drop
down
to
five
percent
versus
that,
and
we
can
do
that
throughout
the
years
we
start
seeing
what
revenues
come
in,
but
one
thing
I
would
just
point
out:
is
they
they
do
lag
so
like
the
quarter
that
ends
June
30th?
We
may
not
get
that
check
until
September,
October
or
not
October
like
August
or
September.
So
we
won't
start
seeing
this
fiscal
year
numbers
until
we
get
closer
to,
but
we
can
review
that
each
each
one
and
see
how
we're
looking
and
then
we
can
have
those
conversations
it.
C
J
A
Q
Q
This
is
a
preview
of
what
we
have
currently
between
state
and
local
Accommodations
Tax.
There
is
a
little
over
almost
2.8
million
dollars
available
for
distribution
between
the
two
funds.
The
first
applicant
is
Society
of
Bluffs
and
artists.
This
is
their
annual
request
and
they're
requesting
fifteen
thousand
dollars
in
support
of
promoting
the
Arts
in
the
low
country
and
Beyond.
A
M
A
So
your
amount
requested
was
15
000,
Mount
recommended
fifteen
thousand
from
Society
of
Bluffton
artist
and
I
saw
Christy
came
in.
Thank
you.
Are
there
questions
on
this
per
this
application?
Any
questions
of
Christy
or
of
Natalie
Mount
requested
15
000.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
amount
recommended
of
fifteen
thousand
for
Society
of
Latin
artists
their
second?
Second,
any
discussion,
all
in
favor,
say
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
next
is
the
symphony.
Yes,.
Q
The
Hilton
Head
Symphony
Orchestra
has
come
before
ATAC
and
Town
Council
for
their
2023
Bluffton
concerts.
They
have
requested
48
628.
They
are
proposing
to
have
two
concerts,
one
to
coincide
with
the
historic
arts
and
arts
and
seafood
festival
and
then
in
other
holiday
Pops
concert
that
will
be
held
at
St
Gregory.
A
I
I
I
think
I
think
that
it
adds
such
a
new
dimension
to
our
community.
I
mean
it's
like
it
takes
us
up
to
another
level
and
I
will
say
even
the
the
Pops
concert
I
tried
to
get
into
Saint
Gregory
last
year,
I
couldn't
had
to
go
to
Hilton
yeah,
because
they're
sellouts
I
mean
you
know
the
community
supports
them.
You
know
thoroughly
so
that
I
think
they're.
Just
wonderful
yeah.
A
A
L
Q
A
We
have
Robert,
what's
the
Albert,
that's
Tim
last
and
the
board
is
all
here.
So
we
have
people
here,
they're
questions
of
any
of
them
are
of
Natalie
owned.
This
the
amount
recommended
was
150
requested
and
the
amount
recommended
by
our
atax
was
150.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
that
recommendation?
I.
O
A
Q
A
F
Q
Their
initial
application,
what
was
submitted
was
for
an
oyster
roast
and
then,
when
it
came
to
ATAC
it
had
blossomed
into
the
roots
and
River
Festival.
It
was
formed
by
ATAC.
They
liked
the
change,
but
they
had
requested
that
blackwoody
come
back
with
an
amended
application.
We
have
met
with
blackwoody
to
go
over
some
discussion
and
any
questions
that
they
may
have.
We
do
have
the
next
quarter,
application
coming
due
on
June
30th,
so
it's
just
around
the
corner.
Atac
did
still
recommend
eleven
thousand
dollars
for
the
festival.
A
Q
Some
of
the
things
did
change,
and
so
the
budget
had
changed,
but
we
they
needed
to
come
back
without
amended
budget.
So
in
the
meantime,
a
text
still
wanted
the
committee
to
still
proceed.
So
that's
why
they're
recommending
at
least
eleven
thousand
dollars
and
then
there'll
still
be
time
to
come
in
prior
to
the
event
when
an
attack
meets
in
August.
Q
For
ATAC
Awards
our
reimbursement
based,
so
while
this
is
awarded,
we
would
still
need
to
see
those
invoices
to
then
reimburse
it.
So
at
least
there's
a
comfort
for
the
committee
that
this
the
ATEC
is
recommending
that
at
least
this
funding
come
through
and
we
have
had
instances
in
the
past
where
ATAC
has
gone
back
to
an
organization
and
said
hey.
We
really
think
that
you
need
to
ramp
up
your
advertising
and
come
back
with
another
proposal
which
they
did
the
May
River
theater.
Q
B
I
I
guess
the
only
thing
and
again
you
know
they
all
come
in
with
a
higher
request
and
then
when
they
go
through
the
process,
the
money
comes
down.
So
this
budget,
as
it
says,
is
17
000.
The
atax
committee
said
we'll
give
you
11
of
the
17.
we're
talking
about
them.
Coming
back
for
the
additional
portion
within
two
weeks
and
I
guess.
The
only
question
in
my
mind
would
be:
is
the
delay
impact
them
in
any
negative
way?
I,
don't
know
the
answer
to
that.
I
Q
A
So
I
have
question.
Reading
through
this
I
had
marked
it.
The
application
was
larger,
so
you
look
at
the
application
amount,
and
then
the
committee
breaks
it
down
on
the
budget
that
y'all
can
work
with
right.
So
any
group,
its
initial
application,
could
be
anything.
But
what
we
look
at
is
what
in
Thanking
us
for
this
group,
that
that's
it
to
make
sure
we're.
F
A
Q
A
So
my
thing
is
just
trying
it
with
the
money
we
have.
If
it
was
a
legit
expense
and
again
they
may
not
spend
17.
They
may
give
you
receipts
for
five.
Why
aren't
we
allowing
it
like
we're
allowing
others?
So
my
My,
Hope
and
I've
got
a
question
on
who
we
can
ask
too,
because
I
don't
want
to
mess
up
this
recusal
and
up
here
at
the
dias.
My
thought
is
to
at
least
let
the
applicant
have
what
was
budgeted.
A
What
was
recommended
requested
and
recommended
when
we
might
not
pay
it
out,
but
if
it's
legit
expenses,
what
no
harm
no
foul
we've
got
a
huge
amount
of
money
we
got
to
spend
so
I'd
like
to
make
it
easier
for
applicants
as
long
as
our
attacks
is
focus
in
on
that
I.
Don't
want
to
give
more
than
that's
going
to
get
us
in
trouble.
So
if
we
did
that
and
I,
don't
know
what
they're
thinking
because,
but
if
we
did
that,
what
would
a
group
like
this
come
back
to
to
re-look
at
the
initial
application?
Q
J
A
N
B
I
R
A
R
R
So
there
was
a
lot
of
little
things
like
that
in
there,
so
we
suggested
for
them
to
come
back
and
make
it
a
festival
and
not
a
oysterose,
because
we
didn't
have
the
application
or
their
new
stuff
for
a
festival
which
would
be
a
totally
a
different.
Oh
sorry,
different
scoring
even
on
the
scoring
of
the
sheet.
If
it's
a
festival,
you
get
more
points.
R
So
that's
the
reason
why
we
suggested
to
go
ahead
and
let
them
advertise
it
come
back
and
all
the
other
things
they
change,
because
they
could
be
asking
for
a
lot
more
right.
So
we
didn't
want
them
to
be
penalized
because
they
were
changing,
so
they
still.
We
we
suggested
that
they
still
get
their
advertising
budget
and
then
we
could
go
ahead
and
the
next
one
comes
in.
We
can
actually
see
everything
for
a
festival.
Then
we
could
a
grant
whatever
else
they
needed.
A
I
Well,
I
I
feel
like
because
of
the
unknowns
and
we're
not
hurting
them.
I,
don't
know
I'm
saying
what
I
believe
to
be
factual,
I,
don't
know
if
we
approve
the
11
000,
that's
already
been
screened,
they're
coming
back
in
two
weeks,
they
may
bring
a
totally
different
package
in
is
what
it
sounds
like
which
they
didn't
have.
They
couldn't
do
their
job
without
it.
So
let
it
go
through
the
process.
B
Thank
you,
yeah
I,
agree
and
I
kind
of
you
know.
I
mean
out
of
respect
for
our
committee
too,
not
saying
that
we
can't
override
their
decisions
in
any
way.
I
didn't
do,
I,
didn't
see
the
applications
and
study
and
I
know
we
have
the
criteria
that
you
know
these
eyes
have
got
to
be
dotted
and
these
T's
got
to
be
crossed
and
we
we've
not
given
money
to
other
people
because
they're,
you
know
the
things
that
just
it
didn't
wasn't
didn't,
follow
the
rules
so
to
speak.
A
What
we
I
got,
it
I
mean
I'm
I
got
it
I
just
continue
poor
Natalie.
She
hears
me
all
the
time
and
I'm
glad
you
have
three
members.
We've
got
to
recruit
more
people
to
come.
Ask
for
this
money
because
it's
so
vital
and
we
have
two
new.
You
know
every
quarter.
We
seem
to
get
one
more
new
one.
So
it's
kind
of
nice,
it's
getting
more
competitive,
but
let's
really
handle
these
new
applicants,
so
they
don't
get
overwhelmed.
We
don't
need
to
make
it
hard
for
everybody
to
get
so
anything
else.
A
A
Any
discussion
all
in
favor,
say
by
saying
aye
aye
opposed.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
Natalie.
Next
we
have
consideration
of
oh
it's
Derek.
Yes,
that's
why
I
use
dressed
up
consideration
of
a
resolution
to
procure
an
emergency
standby
generator
for
Town
Hall.
Yes,
I'll
have
to
be
lengthy,
Derek.
A
B
P
Have
to
do,
but
yes-
and
this
is
very
simple-
obviously-
we've
solicited
some
quotations
quotes
from
some
vendors
and
obviously
we're
looking
for
approval
for
a
generator
for
the
town
hall.
Obviously
you
see
that
is
coming
engineering
Cummings
emergency
power
source
is
the
vendor
that
we
would
like
to
proceed
with
with
your
approval.
We
want
to
give
Council
Council
approval
to
give
Town
manager
to
proceed
in
a
contract
to
enter
with
Cummings.
To
get
this
generator
ordered.
P
A
A
M
P
Obviously
the
general
be
located
right
behind
here
next
to
Calhoun
station,
it's
going
to
be
on
a
pad
that
will
actually
go
in
effect.
Every
time
we
lose
power,
that's
just
not
for
storm
any
times,
I!
Think
in
the
past
few
years
we've
had
some
outages
during
events,
Council
meetings
in
this
building
and
we
just
lose
power
and
obviously
it's
good
to
have
or
key
equipment
to
keep
it
up
and
going
because
obviously
everything
one
year
being
up
and
going.
P
A
Not
that
hard
we
have
two
items
or
our
newspaper
which
I
love
that
he's
back
sitting
back
there.
There
will
be
action
from
executive
session,
one
is
Personnel
matters
regarding
Town
Council
appointments
and
Boards
committees
and
commissions,
boyak,
3470,
A1
and
number
two
is
Personnel
matters
relating
to
town
manager,
annual
review,
34.78.
F
A
A
Is
there
a
motion
for
that
one?
Your
second
any
discussion,
all
in
favor
say
but
saying
aye
aye
opposed.
Next
we
did
our
review
annual
review
of
our
town
manager.
Is
there
a
motion
to
increase
our
town,
manager's
salary,
which
corresponds
with
the
study
that
was
done
for
Town
managers
to
174,
473
dollars
and
five
cents?
