our

were

Will

Thank
you

Next

agenda
is
appearance
by
citizens.
Crystal.
Do
we
have
anyone
sign
up
to
speak
this
morning.
C
Good
morning,
Alex
now
that
Council,
McCann,
Lennox
and
Harkins
have
been
replaced
and
leave
disgrace
for
their
lives,
corruption
and
fraud.
We
fully
expect
new
council
members
to
abide
by
their
campaign,
promises
to
be
fully
transparent,
accountable
and
approved,
spend
a
guard
or
guard
our
hard-earned
tax
funds
like
their
own.
C
We
will
expect
Council
to
comply
to
my
atax
foia,
to
see
full
accounting
from
the
chamber
and
other
non-profits
who
were
issued
Millions
illegally
under
Aid
tax
laws
and
to
also
fully
understand
how
and
where
all
these
millions
were
used
under
the
law
and
disappeared
with
zero
oversight
or
audits,
including
over
one
million
to
Canada.
Let's
make
this
non-profit
chamber
issue
a
priority
for
2023,
since
tax
funds
issued
are
so
large.
C
Let's
all
make
also
make
this
corridor
plan
a
top
priority
and
even
more
important
to
resolve
soon
then
fix
this
chamber
tax,
scam
and
fraud.
We
have
been
dealing
with
for
35
years.
Let's
actually
accomplish
these
important
issues
versus
avoid
them.
Take
a
council
vote
ASAP
and
hold
council
members
accountable
and
even
liable
if
they
keep
knowingly
voting
for
illegal
use
of
our
tax
funds.
Alex.
To
my
knowledge,
you
are
not
a
CPA.
Have
no
Financial
background,
have
no
understanding
of
town,
Audits
and
budgets.
C
Yet
you
vote
in
favor
of
millions
of
illegal
funding
to
the
chamber
every
year
and
many
non-profits
to
be
legally
funded,
like
the
boys
and
girls
club
for
your
friend,
Kim
Likens,
who
stole
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
you
support.
You
also
fund
the
illegal
tax
scam,
Low
Country
Golf,
Owners,
Association,
controlled
by
Bill
miles
past
a
tax
chair,
Brad
mayor
of
Palmetto
Dunes
and
Kerry
Corbett
Sea
Pines
violating
IRS
tax
codes
in
our
atax
laws.
C
You
have
no
knowledge
of
millions
of
legal
fees
overcharged
by
crooked
Town
lawyers
that
exceed
much
larger,
larger
cities
like
Myrtle,
Beach
and
Charleston.
You
have
never
asked
or
seen
Town
accounting
Town
budgets
nor
voted
for
a
forensic
audit
on
accounting
prepared
by
CPA,
Troyer,
Orlando
and
past
Steve
Riley,
who
I
contend,
have
prepared
fraudulent
Audits
and
budgets
once
the
town
of
the
chamber
undergoes
a
forensic
audit,
I
predict
arrests,
convictions
and
prison,
and
one
last
thing
Alex.
You
are
involved
with
the
greater
secret
Island
Council,
why?
C
A
Thank
you
and
we
would
want
to
also
recognize
councilwoman,
Bryson
and
mayor
Perry
in
attendance
today.
Welcome
to
the
conversation
first
order
of
business
consideration
of
proposed
amendments
to
provisions
of
Title,
11,
chapter
1
of
the
municipal
code
for
the
town
of
Hilton,
Head
Island,
to
provide
for
a
small
and
minority-owned
business,
Enterprise
utilization
program
and
a
corresponding
good
faith
effort
program
and
Mr
Troy.
Where
you'll
be
making
a
presentation
this
morning.
E
Right,
Richard
growth,
procurement
officer
for
the
town
a
few
months
ago,
I
was
tasked
by
Administration
to
come
up
with
do
some
research
and
come
up
with
some
recommendations
to
have
more
inclusivity
for
small
minority-owned
businesses
in
our
procurement
efforts
here
at
the
town,
so
I
went
out
and
reached
out
to
many
local
County
city.
State
governmental
entities
got
materials
from
them
researched
what
their
programs
were,
what
they
had
in
place.
What
worked
for
them?
E
What
didn't
work
for
them
and
came
up
with
a
recommended
utilization
plan
for
the
town
to
implement
for
that
purpose
of
being
more
inclusive
for
small
minorium
business.
The
key
elements
of
that
utilization
plan
work
to
enhance
our
productive
solicitation
of
those
entities
from
available
listings
maintained
by
the
town
or
other
governmental
entities
and
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
requiring
mandatory
contractor
participation
in
a
good
faith
effort
program
for
construction
projects
and
documenting
their
efforts
to
partner
with
small
minorium
businesses
for
inclusion
in
their
bits
and
metals.
E
Now
those
are
the
the
points
for
the
plan,
so
the
good
faith
effort
program
for
contractors,
kind
of
puts
the
illness
on
them
to
pre-bid,
identify
what
efforts
they're
making
to
include
those
kinds
of
those
entities
in
their
bid
process
and
then
follow
up
to
that
on
the
talent.
When
they're
awarded
the
contract,
they
have
documentation
requirements
that
document
the
utilization
of
those
entities
throughout
the
process
through
reporting
to
the
project
manager.
E
E
A
You
so
what
we'll
do
we?
We
all,
have
had
an
opportunity
to
review
the
materials
in
the
packet
and
show
the
questions
that
have
come
about
and
staff
if
there
are
questions
that
are
coming,
that
you
can
answer
at
the
moment.
Please
do
so
and
if
not
just
take
note,
okay
I
see
this
as
a
a
work
in
progress.
Okay,
to
get
to
a
point
that
this
plan
really
tailors.
What
we're
looking
for
here
on
Hilton,
Head,
okay,
so
with
that
I
will
start
with
councilman
Stanford
any
questions
or
comments.
You'd
like
to
make
thank.
F
F
Small
businesses,
minority
businesses
that
are
based
on
Hilton,
Head,
Island,
so
I
think
that
that
should
be
a
further
thrust
of
this
I'm,
not
claiming
that's
original
with
me
at
all,
but
it
is
something
that
is
worthwhile.
I
think
that
we
should
amend
this
plan
to
include
small
business
minority
business
that
is
based
and
operating
off
of
Hilton,
Head
Island,
but
I
think
this
is
a
great
job
and
I
look
forward
to
success
as
it
moves
forward.
Thank
you.
G
Yeah
Richard
good
work
I
have
to
admit
that
when
I
first
started
reading
this
I
said
this
is
the
kind
of
document
that
gives
government
a
bad
name,
but
but
in
giving
it
more
and
more
thought,
I
realized
that
virtually
every
word
in
there
serves
a
purpose.
So
on
that
score,
I
appreciate
what
you've
compiled
good
research
builds
confidence,
but
I
have
a
couple
of
comments
that
I'd
like
to
make
I
I,
don't
see
in
our
document
a
purpose
statement.
What
are
we
really
trying
to
achieve
and
and
More
in
layman's
terms?
G
What?
What?
What
is
the
outcome
that
we're
trying
to
achieve,
and
so
I
think
that
for
the
benefit
of
the
community,
not
necessarily
in
your
legal
document,
but
let's,
let's
describe
what
we're
really
trying
to
achieve
and
and
part
of
that
is
some
of
the
words
that
I
picked
out
of
this
is
provide
access
to
Capital
and
Credit,
in
other
words,
we're
giving
people
a
leg
up.
G
You
might
say
they
rank
minority
business
of
four
and
a
small
business
of
three
and
they
don't
even
talk
about
local
business
and
I'm
questioning
whether
or
not-
and
this
is
more
of
a
policy
question
whether
or
not
in
our
community.
We
ought
to
be
ranking
local
business
for
small
business,
three
and
minority
business
too,
and
and
the
reason
I
say
that
is
that
if
we
are
providing
capital
and
Lending
to
a
small
business
in
our
a
local
business
in
our
community,
we're
leveraging
dollars
for
our
own
economy's
benefit.
G
If
it's
a
small
business,
those
dollars
are
going
to
be
leveraged
even
further.
And,
of
course,
we
want
to
provide
the
minority
access
to
that
capital
and
credit,
and
whether
that's
Hispanic
Gala
woman
I'm,
not
as
those
aren't
issues
for
me
in
this
conversation,
minorities,
so
I
I
think
that
the
we
we
ought
to
make
sure
that
the
language
that
we're
putting
in
this
document
really
serves
Hilton
Head
purposes,
not
just
a
prototype
that
is
replicated
from
other
documents.
G
D
A
All
right
one
moment:
Mr
Oldman
I,
want
to
make
some
comments
myself
and
then
I'll
go
to
the
public.
Absolutely.
Thank
you,
sir.
Just
a
few
items
I
had
on
my
list
also
for
staff
to
to
recognize
I
think
that
councilman
Ames
is
absolutely
correct.
With
the
whole
purpose
statement.
You
know
that
we
we
developed
that
and
we
we
really
put
emphasis
on
the
local
aspect
of
it.
I'm
not
quite
sure
how
we
Define
local
at
the
moment,
but
maybe
it's
a
mile
radius.
A
I
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman,
you
indicated
the
staff
might
have
some
responses
to
questions
today
that
it
would
be
good
to
go
ahead
and
bring
them
in
so
a
couple
of
things
that
I've
heard
that
I
think
we
can
address
at
least
while
we're
we're
discussing
this
item.
One
is
with
regards
to
an
emphasis
on
local
businesses.
I
Our
existing
procurement
code
already
provides
for
a
local
business
Advantage,
so
we
have
language-
that's
already
built
into
the
code
that
if
you
are
a
corporate
headquarters
or
otherwise
meet
the
definition
of
a
local
business
that
has
a
certain
percentage
of
a
Workforce
on
the
island.
You
already
have
advantages
with
regards
to
our
procurement
processes.
I
Now
again,
because
if
we're
a
government
a
lot
of
times
it
comes
down
to
who
can
deliver
the
best
product
or
service
for
the
lowest
price,
because
we're
always
trying
to
keep
in
mind
using
taxpayer
dollars
wisely,
but
we
have
that
built
in
in
terms
of
local
preference
into
our
code
today.
So,
that's
why
it's
not
in
what
is
before
you,
because
that
language
is
already
a
part
of
our
existing
procurement
regulations
when
it
comes
to
addressing
a
purpose
statement
for
why
we're
doing
this,
can
you
hold
off
on
that.
A
I
Does
it
we?
We
have
guidelines
that
we
provide
to
staff
that
says
as
long
as
it's
within
one
of
these
buckets
here's
how
you
should
go
about
doing
it
so,
for
example,
if
it's
below
the
small
purchase
threshold
you're
supposed
to
try
to
find
a
local
business
that
can
provide
that
that
service?
First,
if
you
you
can't,
then
it's
okay
to
look
elsewhere,
but
the
guideline
is
you're
supposed
to
look
there.
I
First,
when
it
comes
to
a
formal
bid
process,
now
you're
talking
about
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
in
a
construction
project,
we
have
guidelines
that
set
forth
when
we
can
utilize
local
preference
and
when
we
can
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
wind
up
with
a
protest
or
somebody
else
from
another
business.
That
says
you
know
this
wasn't
done
according
to
the
appropriate
standards,
so
councilman.
I
Absolutely
and
that's
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
why
you
didn't
see
anything
about
a
local
preference
in
here
and
it's
because
we
already
have
that
in
the
code.
Okay,
what
we
don't
have
is
this
language
and
that's
kind
of
where
I
was
going
to
in
terms
of
why.
Why
are
we
doing
this?
We're
doing
this?
Because
one
of
our
strategic
initiatives
calls
for
us
to
research,
Trends
and
Implement
best-in-class
Municipal
Service
delivery.
I
Those
types
of
firms
to
the
greatest
extent
that
they
can,
when
they're,
providing
bids
to
us
for
certain
projects.
So
because
we've
seen
those
in
other
communities,
we
believe
that
we
need
to
look
at
including
those
within
our
code
as
well,
so
that
we
are
on
par
with
our
peer
community.
So
in
terms
of
developing
a
purpose
statement
for
why
we're
doing
this,
I
would
tell
you
that's
that's
the
making
of
a
purpose
statement
and
it's
for
us
to
make
sure
that
we're
delivering
those
Best
in
Class
services,
but.
F
G
Participation
is
key
because
that's
how
we
leverage
dollars
in
this
community
and
so
I
I
think
it's
right,
that
the
two
policies
that
we
had
the
proposed
policy
and
the
existing
policy
be
Amalgamated
and
that
people
don't
lose
sight
of.
The
fact
that
local
is
key
small
business
is
key.
Minority
is
key.
Thank
you
and
just
one
other
question:
does
disadvantaged
business
Enterprise
enter
into
this
conversation
at
all.
G
I
It
does
so
to
your
point:
the
language
that's
in
there
and
I
specifically
looked
up
the
capital
and
credit
language,
because
I
wanted
to
make
sure
it
was
cleared
on
the
record.
The
town
is
not
proposing
to
issue
capital
or
credit
to
any
business
that
that's
not
what
is
called
for
in
this
program.
That's
not
part
of
our
procurement
process.
What's
spoken
to
of
capital
and
credit
are
businesses
that
have
historically
not
had
access
to
those
same
markets
and
therefore
they're
considered
a
disadvantaged
business.
I
A
C
I
have
not
read
the
provisions,
and
it
seems
like
this
is
a
private
sector
initiative
to
me.
You
know
no
matter
how
worthy
heartfelt,
how
great
something
is
and
how
great
it
sounds,
doesn't
necessarily
make
it
legal.
The
Supreme
Court
ruled
that
you
cannot
use
any
public
funds
for
any
kind
of
private
purposes
or
initiatives
whatsoever.
This
does
not
benefit
the
entire
public
good
reason
and
use
I
think
you
need
to
get
a
legal
opinion.
C
I
I
think
what's
going
to
happen
this
year
with
not
only
me,
but
a
lot
of
people
that
are
going
to
be
coming
forward.
I'm
not
going
to
be
the
only
one
speaking
this
year
is
we're
going
to
want
to
know
much
more
about
how
our
tax
funds
are
legally
issued
and
how
they're
legally
used
and
we're
going
to
be
wanting
to
get
some
very
full
accounting,
even
some
forensic
accounting
on
all
of
this.
We
cannot
continue
to
just
hand
out
money
and
have
no
idea
how
it's
used,
where
it
goes,
etc,
etc.
C
So
I
think
that
the
lawyers
are
going
to
have
to
chime
in.
As
you
know,
a
recent
lawsuit
was
filed,
there
is
going
to
be
another
lawsuit
filed
and
there
actually
there's
going
to
be
a
number
of
lawsuits
filed
this
year,
but
the
recent
lawsuit
was
the
two
million
dollars
that
that
this
Council
approved
for
the
dredging
of
Harbor
Town
in
a
private
gated
community.
This
this
type
of
use
of
tax
funds
is
illegal.
That
money
needs
to
be
returned
to
the
taxpayers
and
there's
the
chamber
is
another
example.
C
C
I
think
you
need
to
be
held
liable
for
that
I
think
you're,
you're,
you're,
you're,
gonna,
you're
gonna
be
held
responsible
for
that.
So
I
caution,
you,
whatever
you
do
this
year,
whenever
you
vote
for
tax
money's
using
any
reason
for
any
purpose,
you
got
to
make
sure
that
it's
legal
and
you
got
to
make
sure
that
it's
reported
and
you
see
all
the
receipts
and
invoices
and
you
make
people
prove
it
and
you've
got
to
have
contracts.
C
J
I,
just
have
two
very
simple
comments.
One
is,
if
you
don't
know
where
you're,
where
you
are,
you
don't
know
how
you're
going
to
get
to
your
destination,
so
I
would
think
that
we
should
figure
out
our
current
procurement
activities
and
see
whether
this
is
needed,
because
we
may
be
doing
things
well
enough
or
just
not
codified,
and
the
second
comment
I
have
is
this
former
small
business
owner
there
were
times
when
I
would
run
into
a
an
opportunity
that
inherently
had
factors
in
it.
J
That
required
me
to
provide
mostly
Financial
stipulations,
that
I
couldn't
meet
as
a
small
business
owner
insurance
requirements
or
bonding
capability.
So
when
we
are
writing
our
procurement
contracts,
I
think
we
need
to
change
that
Focus
to
ensure
that
we
get
the
appropriate
applicants
that
we're
targeting
if
this
program
is
going
to
be
implemented.
So
just
don't
we're
going
to
need
to
be
consistent.
J
A
I
just
say
that
you
know
the
way
that
we
are
situated
as
to
items
like
this
come
into
subcommittee
before
they
go
to
council,
there's
not
necessarily
opportunity
for
Council
to
weigh
in
until
it
gets
before
all
of
us,
but
I
would
just
offer
up
to
to
my
colleagues
that
if
you
have
comments
and
questions,
please
bring
them
forth
to
us
so
that
we
can
ask
those
questions
on
the
next
go
around
on
this
on
this
topic.
Okay,
anything
else,
Stanford
I,.
F
Think
that
we've
given
some
comments,
we
have
some
ideas.
We
have
some
clarifications.
We
have
an
existing
program
which
may
or
may
not
need
to
be
harmonized
with
this,
so
I
think
you've
heard
the
initial
concerns
of
council
and
we'll
look
forward
to
further
reporting
on
this.
Thank
you,
good
steams.
G
Yeah
but
a
separate
Topic
in
today's
Town
council
meeting
we're
going
to
be
reviewing
amendments
to
the
budget,
it's
significant
dollars
and
I'm.
My
my
gut
is
telling
me
that
that
should
have
come
before
FNA
for
this
committee's
analysis
and
comments
before
it
goes
to
Town.
Council
I,
don't
know
if
that
was
an
oversight
because
of
the
holidays,
the
transition
to
a
new
Council,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
it
would
be
consistent
with
other
practices
in
other
committees.
If
we
did
that,
okay.
A
K
All
right
think
you
can
hear
me:
we
have
I,
have
not
traditionally
brought
a
budget
amendment.
You
know
my
two
years
in
I
haven't
brought
budget
amendments
through
FNA,
but
if
that's
the
will
of
counsel
and
desire
of
counsel
in
terms
of
process,
we're
happy
to
do
so.
I
think
a
lot
of
good
work
is
scrubbed
and
understood
in
committee.
So
if
that's
your
direction,
we
can
do
that
now.
It
complicates
today
Mr
Troyer
I'm.
Looking
at
you.
K
D
A
Okay,
so
I
guess
my
only
other
question
is
we
have.
We
have
not
had
that
as
a
practice
in
the
last
two
years.
This
is
not
necessarily
something
that
we
have
to
codify.
We
just
have
to
have
a
discussion
around
if
we
okay,
fair
enough
I'll
pick
out
some
names
point
taken
and
because
the
the
amount
of
times
that
we
experience
budget
amendments
has
been
limited,
I
think
it's
of
us
to
consider
going
in
a
different
direction,
particularly
with
some
of
the
items.
A
You
know,
maybe
they're
going
to
be
a
lot
of
questions
along
the
way
and
Mark
has
done
a
really
good
job
with
communicating
with
the
entire
Council
as
we
build
budget.
It's
not
a
surprise.
By
the
time
we
get
to
actual
Council,
which
I
think
deems
us
not
having
to
come
through
this
committee
to
get
to
Council
on
the
actual
budget,
all
right
so
we'll
talk
offline
about
it
and
develop
strategy
moving
forward.
Thank
you,
Council
Millions,
for
bringing
that
to
our
attention
anything
else,
people
good
on
it
all
right.
A
F
I
find
it
awkward
to
have
a
meeting
at
10
o'clock,
followed
by
a
meeting
at
three
o'clock.
It
leaves
a
hole
in
the
middle
of
the
day.
I
would
suggest,
and
I
would
move
that
we
change
the
time
for
finance
and
administrative
committee
meetings
to
one
o'clock,
assuming
that
those
meetings
are
followed
by
a
council
meeting
on
that
day,
it
makes
the
day
flow
better.
A
G
I
I
don't
feel
strongly
about
this,
but
my
reaction
is
that
the
the
sandwiching
of
this
meeting
between
lunch
and
Town
Council
feels
as
though
there
may
be
an
artificial
or
practical
adjournment
before
all
business
is
done
so
I
I
would,
if
we're
really
interested
in
maintaining
10
o'clock
as
the
time
is
there
another
day
that
makes
sense.
Is
there
an
advantage
to
having
this
be
on
the
same
day
as
Council
I
I,
don't
know,
I
don't
have
answers
to
that,
but
yeah.
A
Well,
I
will
speak
to
there's
one
practice.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
this
committee
implements,
and
that
is
agenda,
items
that
move
from
this
committee
to
council.
Okay,
that
that
will
not
happen.
Those
things
okay
and
you
know
giving
us
a
two-hour
window,
we'll
just
have
to
manage
agendas
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
appropriate
time
to
talk
through
items
and
that
that
two
on
two
hours
span.
