Skip
hoagland
windmill
harbor
you're,
not
in
compliance
with
foia,
mr
tom
h,
lenox
as
chairman
of
the
finance
committee.
I
believe
you
owe
the
public
an
explanation
for
advancing
approval
of
hospitality,
tax
monies
to
the
south
island,
dredging
association,
ceta,
a
registered
south
carolina
non-profit,
if
seated
as
a
legitimate
non-profit
entity.
Why
are
they
exempt
from
applying
to
the
town
for
funds
through
the
aid
tax
process?
D
There
was
a
case
from
the
early
2000s
before
the
united
states
district
court
involving
the
harbor
town
yacht
basin
boat
slip
owners
association
described
from
the
filing
below
it
would
appear.
These
private
property
owners
were
at
one
time
financially
responsible
for
maintaining
their
own
dredging.
D
What
prompted
the
town
to
subtly
start
footing,
part
of
their
bill,
harbor
town,
is
a
member
of
a
non-profit
organization
called
south
island
dredging
association,
whose
members
own
property
adjacent
to
navigable
waters
on
hilton,
head
island,
seeded
contracted,
would
sell
safe,
harbor
to
dredge
certain
marinas
and
waterways
adjacent
to
property
of
its
members,
including
harbor
town
marina,
at
which
plaintiff's
own
members
own
boat.
Slips
council
was
recently
put
on
notice
via
email
from
the
town
consultant
lawyer,
cliff
where
he
relates
a
small
minority
of
c
pines.
D
According
to
this
email,
the
public
already
contributes
to
drudging
costs
via
a
portion
of
cpine's
gate
fees,
and
this
dredging
project
will
benefit
boehner
cove
creek,
a
prior
aborted
dredging
initiative
from
early
2022
helmed
by
stu
rodman,
who,
as
many
of
you
know,
owns
a
home
at
27
boehner
park
and
is
a
sitting
beauford
county
councilman
cliff
closed
by
stating
general
taxpayer.
Funds
should
not
be
allocated
to
projects
within
gated
communities
that
benefit
a
small
but
vocal
minority
who
knowingly
purchased
expensive
property,
fronting
waterways
prone
to
blockage.
D
D
Finally,
hasn't
the
town
place
themselves
squarely
in
a
legal
quagmire
by
approving
public
funding
for
private
purposes.
That's
illegal.
According
to
the
supreme
court
of
south
carolina,
not
only
is
it
against
the
law,
but
how
many
other
gated
communities
will
seek
the
same
amount
of
funds
and
how
many
non-profits
will
seek
to
ask
the
town
directly
for
funding
as
opposed
going
through
the
aid
tax
process?
D
A
A
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
members
of
the
committee.
I
wanted
to
briefly
touch
on
the
subject
of
school
impact
fees,
just
to
kind
of
let
you
know
where
that
issue
stands.
It
was
something
that
beaufort
county
had
adopted
last
year
in
2021
and
then
following
its
adoption,
the
county
received
a
lawsuit
from,
I
believe
at
least
one
or
more
residential
developers
challenging
portions
of
the
action
that
they
had
taken
in
response
to
that
the
county
rescinded
its
ordinance
to
put
in
place
school
impact
fees.
E
So
currently,
there
is
no
request
of
the
town
to
take
any
action,
nor
is
there
any
pending
action
before
the
county
with
regards
to
school
impact
fees.
If
you
have
any
questions
on
that
I'll
be
happy
to
answer,
but
want
to
let
you
know
in
terms
of
that
subject
matter:
it
is
effectively
dead.
As
far
as
we
are
concerned,
in
terms
of
having
to
take
any
action,
I
would
like
to
now
kind
of
cover
the
remaining
impact
fees
and,
as
the
chairman
had
indicated,
there
are
several.
E
We
have
had
a
long-standing
relationship
with
beaufort
county
for
the
collection
of
several
different
impact
fees
and
in
the
memo
that's
included
in
your
backup.
I
tried
to
go
kind
of
from
least
complicated
to
most
complicated,
and
I
will
do
that
today
in
terms
of
kind
of
providing
a
highlight
of
those
matters.
E
E
Their
impact
fees,
have
been
in
place
for
a
significant
period
of
time
and
beginning
in
2018.
They
began
the
process
of
conducting
the
studies.
That
would
then
be
the
basis
for
revisions
to
the
impact
fee
that
are
pending
before
us
now
and,
ultimately,
with
regards
to
library
impact
fees.
What
that
recommendation
is
is
that
our
impact
fees
be
updated.
That
will
ultimately
reduce
the
cost
of
what
is
being
paid,
and
it's
outlined
in
the
memo.
But
essentially
it's
it's
going
from
right
now.
E
553
dollars
per
new
single
family
residential
unit
and
553
dollars
per
new
multi-family
housing
unit
is
being
collected
at
the
time
that
a
development
permit
is
issued
under
the
new
fee
rate,
a
there's,
a
sliding
scale
that
would
be
created
based
upon
square
footage
of
the
residence
that's
being
constructed
for
a
residence.
That
is
one
thousand
square
feet
or
less.
It
would
be
a
hundred
and
fifty
one
dollars
all
the
way
up
to
a
residential
unit.
That's
four
000
square
feet
or
more
paying
417.
E
Yeah,
typically,
it's
on
new
growth.
Now,
if
you
have
an
existing
property,
particularly
commercial
property-
and
you
go
for
something
that
is
say,
1500
square
feet
to
something-
that's
4,
000
square
feet-
you
may
have
to
pay
upon
the
difference,
because
the
larger
footprint
would
create
more
demand
than
what
was
previously
allocated
for,
but
otherwise,
yes,
it's
almost
usually
used
on
new
development
right.
Thank
you.
E
We
have
had
a
long-standing
agreement
with
the
county
to
collect
parks
and
recreation
impact
fees.
However,
the
service
area
that's
currently
in
place
and
that
would
be
proposed
to
remain
in
place
under
the
county's
proposal,
is
essentially
all
of
the
south
of
the
broad
area.
So
if
you
take
the
broad
river
as
a
geographic
point,
all
of
those
areas
that
are
south
of
the
broad
river
are
within
this
park,
react
parks
and
recreation
service
area.
E
E
So,
rather
than
look
at
the
updated
study
and
the
figures,
and
what
would
that
translate
to,
we
start
from
a
position
of
the
counties
notified
us
that
the
language
that's
in
our
existing
agreement,
that
allows
us
to
retain
the
funds
that
are
collected
here
and
expend
them
here.
They
don't
believe
that
something
that's
allowed
under
the
navy
legislation,
because
the
service
area
covers
the
entire
south
of
the
broad
area.
They
believe
that
the
funds
collected,
even
though
they
come
from
hilton
head
island,
should
be
spent
within
the
entire
service
area.
E
And
so
we
had
some
concerns
with
that,
given
what
our
prior
relationship
was
and
the
fact
that
we
believe
that
the
funds
that
are
collected
here
needed
to
remain
here
for
the
benefit
of
the
parks
that
are
on
the
island.
So
because
of
those
concerns.
What
we
have
been
discussing
and
there's
a
pending
agenda
item
before
councilman
harkin's
community
services
and
public
safety
committee
for
monday,
the
25th
so
a
week
from
today
where
we
would
discuss
a
potential
land
swap
with
the
county.
E
There's
a
couple
of
parcels
that
are
owned
by
the
town
that
we
would
look
at
transferring
to
the
county
and
in
return,
there's
a
couple
of
parcels
that
are
owned
by
the
county.
That
would
be
transferred
to
the
town.
Specifically
some
of
the
parks
and
recreation
properties
that
are
still
in
the
county's
name.
E
F
E
F
C
E
They've
prepared
a
report.
If
we
would
want
to
agree
to
it,
we
can
to
go
along
with
the
updated
information,
but
again
because
of
the
concerns
about
collecting
the
fees
from
development
on
the
island
and
spending
those
fees
for
improvements
off
the
island.
We're
not
recommending
that
path.
At
this
time.
C
E
Obviously,
these
issues
are
not
mutually
exclusive
of
each
other.
If
we
go
down
that
path
and
we're
successful
great
that
solves
this
this
issue,
if
we
go
down
that
path
and
we're
not
successful,
we
can
always
come
back
to
this
sure
and
and
the
fact
that
they're
happening
fairly
contemporaneously
with
each
other
means
there
shouldn't
be
any
issues
with
that.
E
That's
our
concern,
yes,
and-
and
you
know
their
argument
and-
and
this
does,
I
think,
resonate
more
with
the
transportation
impact
fees
than
it
does
in
parks
and
rec
and
recreation.
Their
point
is
the
residents
of
hilton
head
island
have
the
use
and
enjoyment
of
recreational
facilities
that
are
off
the
island
and
our
counter.
That
was
yes.
While
they
may
have
that
use,
they
don't
make
a
lot
of
use
of
those
facilities.
E
We
typically
have
here
what
meets
their
needs,
and
so
that's
why
we
want
to
focus
on
keeping
those
funding
here
for
those
properties,
because
the
the
recreational
properties
that
are
in
bluffton
in
the
unincorporated
portions
of
the
county,
we
don't
believe,
are
heavily
utilized
by
hilton
head
residents.
Thank
you
all
right.
E
In
terms
of
transportation
impact
fees,
again,
we've
had
a
long-standing
intergovernmental
agreement
with
beaufort
county
to
collect
transportation
impact
fees
and
those
fees
have
been
historically
spent
on
infrastructure
projects
that
are
located
both
on
the
island
and
off
the
island
and
and
part
of
the
justification
with.
That
is
why
we
don't
necessarily
use
the
recreational
amenities,
it's
hard
to
argue
that
hilton
head
island
residents,
don't
use
the
roadways
that
are
located
off
the
island,
because
essentially
you
have
to
use
those
to
be
able
to
get
here,
and
so
that's
part
of
where
our
relationship
exists.
E
H
E
E
What
we
would
do
is
agree
that
we
will
not
issue
a
development
permit
unless
the
county's
impact
fees
have
been
paid
and
again
those
service
areas
cover
both
nor
are
both
on
the
island
and
off
the
island,
and
so
in
the
voluminous
amount
of
materials
that
were
in
your
backup.
Today
there
was
a
spreadsheet
that
listed
what
those
projects
were,
and
you
can
see
that
it's
a
fairly
healthy
balance
in
many
different
areas.
E
And
again
I
go
back
to
the
the
first
impact
fees
because
we're
recommending
this
for
transportation
impact
fees.
It
didn't
make
sense
to
us
that
we
would
tell
somebody
you
need
to
go
to
the
county
to
pay
the
transportation
impact
fees,
but
you
still
need
to
come
to
us
to
pay
the
library
fees
and
potentially,
a
parks
and
recreation
fee.
So
why
don't
we
just?
Have
you
go
to
one
place
and
pay
the
library
fees
and
the
transportation
fees?
C
E
This
has
been
discussed
directly
with
representatives,
both
staff
and
policy
makers
with
the
county.
We
have
joint
meetings
with
mr
greenway
and
mr
passaman.
They
are
supportive
of
that.
Ultimately,
their
concern
is
the
the
the
realm
of
impact.
Fees
appears
to
be
right
for
litigation
at
this
time.
There's
some
folks
within
this
state
that
are
kind
of
turning
that
into
a
cottage
industry
going
around
to
different
counties
and
filing
class
action
lawsuits.
Because
of
concerns
about
these
issues
and
so
for
the
county's
purposes.
E
C
C
F
First,
a
second
what
councilman
stanford
is
saying.
As
far
as
the
process
is
concerned,
we
we
continue
to
get
better
in
our
being
open
for
business
and
being
very
expedient
in
our
business
and
with
the
need
for
some
redevelopment
to
happen
on
hilton
ed.
I
just
don't
want
the
reputation
to
be
that
it's
a
pain
to
pay
some
fees
and
move
forward
with
the
project.
E
I
don't
believe
we
did
have
any
involvement,
the
first
time
around.
I
believe
it
was
exclusively
with
the
county,
because
what
they
were
updating
were
the
county's
impact
fees,
the
town,
it
does
have
its
own
impact.
We
have
a
transportation
impact
fee,
and
so
when
it
gets
to
the
point
that
we'll
need
to
update
that,
we
will
be
responsible
for
it,
but
I
don't
believe
we
had
any
involvement,
but
the
calculations
that
were
performed.
E
They
are
somewhat
controlled
by
statute,
because
the
elements
within
there
have
to
be
looked
at
in
terms
of
growth
capacity.
Anticipated
infrastructure
needs
your
cip
projects
and
then
impacts
to
affordable
housing.
So
all
of
those
things
are
requirements
within
the
enabling
legislation
that
then
have
to
translate
into
your
study
document.
E
E
G
A
E
Correct,
especially
the
transportation
impact
fees,
those
are
collected
by
us
remitted
to
the
county
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
then
they're
pooled
for
the
entire
south
of
the
broad
service
area
and
then
they're
tracked
within
the
counties.
Financial
documents
by
those
separate
service
areas,
the
library
impact
fee,
because
hilton
head
is
its
own
service
area.
It
is
segregated
to
just
that
particular
location
and
again
the
parks
and
recreation
fees
we're
currently
retaining
and
then
expending
on
those
properties.
E
Yes,
today,
ultimately
after
the
transfer
is
done,
any
fees
that
we
have
would
remain
with
us
and
we
would
basically
finalize
expending
those
on
those
properties.
The
collection
of
new
fees,
then,
would
be
for
a
question
for
council
about.
Do
we
want
to
use
that
as
a
potential
funding
source
for
parks,
but
we
would
put
that
in
place
via
our
own
ordinance,
rather
than
using
the
county
ordinance
and
an
intergovernmental
agreement.
A
A
F
A
A
Thank
you.
The
second
question
is
that
in
lieu
of
continuing
discussions
with
the
county
pertaining
to
the
collection
of
parks
and
recreation
impact
fees,
this
committee
recommends
to
town
council
that
it
focus
its
efforts
on
the
transfer
of
certain
parcels
from
beaufort
county
to
the
town
of
hilton
head
island
move
to
support.
Second,
any
public
comment.
A
C
A
A
B
A
Next
item
under
new
business
is
the
consideration
of
a
resolution
approving
the
five-year
consolidated
substantial
amendment,
as
required
by
the
u.s
department
of
housing
and
urban
development,
more
commonly
referred
to
as
hud
for
participation
in
the
community
development
block
grant
entitlement
program
marcy.
This
is
your
domain.
Yes,.
H
Thank
you
for
the
record.
My
name
is
marcy
benson
senior
grants
administrator
for
the
town
and
before
you
today
is
a
staff
recommendation
for
the
committee
to
forward
a
recommendation
to
town
council
for
approval
by
resolution
of
a
substantial
amendment
to
the
towns
2020
through
2024
five-year
consolidated
plan
in
2020
hud
accepted
the
town's
five-year
consolidated
plan,
which
included
the
2020
cdbg
funds
and
the
first
and
third
rounds
of
cdbg
covid
funds
also
referred
to
as
cdbg
cv
funds
a
little
tongue
twister
here
on
may
13th.
H
H
The
real
reallocated
funds
were
made
available
to
grantees,
who
demonstrated
the
capacity
to
quickly
expend
the
cdbg
cv.
Funds
and
grantees
eligible
for
the
reallocated.
Funds
were
limited
to
those
that
expended
99
percent
or
more
of
their
cdbg
cv
funds
by
january
4th
of
this
year.
So,
in
order
to
accept
this
reallocation,
hud
requires
that
the
five-year
consolidated
plan
be
amended
to
include
this
new
amount
of
funding.
H
As
of
the
end
of
june
this
year,
the
community
foundation
of
the
low
country
has
distributed
approximately
seven
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
of
the
2020
cdbg
funds
to
16
public
service
organizations
and
in
accordance
with
the
cdbg
administrative
services
spending
limits.
There's
a
pro.
There
was
approximately
38
thousand
dollars
of
the
2020
cdbg
and
cdbg
cv
funds
that
were
distributed
for
administrative
services.
H
Therefore,
this
substantial
amendment,
which
proposes
approximately
a
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars
in
cdbg,
covet
funding
to
address
prevention,
preparation
and
recovery
efforts
related
to
covet
19,
does
make
this
a
substantial
amendment.
The
draft
of
the
five-year
plan
substantial
amendment,
was
released
to
the
public
on
june
30th.
There
was
also
a
public
meeting
held
that
day.
H
There
were
no
public
comments
received.
There
is
a
summary
reflecting
these
results
and
that's
included
in
the
amended
plan
and
upon
submission
of
the
amended
plan.
Hud
will
review
it
and
if
satisfactory,
an
acceptance
notice
will
be
issued
and
a
revised
grant
agreement
will
also
be
issued
for
signatures
between
the
town
and
hud.
So
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
the
committee
might
have.
C
I
F
Thank
you
mostly
thank
you
again
for
all
your
hard
work.
There's
always
a
lot
of
material
and
detail
to
what
you
present.
Thank
you
for
being
able
to
pull
it
together
very
concisely.
For
us.
You
know,
as
I
was
reviewing
this
and
noticing,
that
we're
receiving
more
funds,
because
ultimately,
others
either
didn't
qualify
or
didn't
ask
right,
and
I
know
that
we've
been
keenly
focused
on
cdbg
as
a
funding
source
and
we
are
we're
able
to
get
these
funds
because
of
our
census
tracts
right.
F
So
I'm
just
curious
not
that
it's
germane
to
our
action
today,
but
in
the
future.
If
you
could
to
this
committee,
provide
us,
maybe
with
some
other
grants
that
may
be
out
there,
that
would
serve
the
purpose
of
enhancing
these
areas.
Okay,
I
had
the
pleasure
of
dialing
into
a
environmental
protection
agency
round
table.
F
So
I
think
that
we
can,
you
know,
do
a
little
bit
more
to
scratch
the
surface
on
this
and
see,
if
there's
some
other
opportunity
for
us,
if
you
could
kind
of
give
us
a
list
of
what's
out
there,
what
we
have
not
been
able
to
tap
into,
and
maybe
there's
some
opportunity
for
us
to
to
make
some
moves
at
the
policy
level
in
order
to
get
you
to
the
point
where
you
could
tap
in,
I
think
that's
nice
for
us
yeah.
Absolutely!
Thank
you.
H
A
B
A
A
I
J
And
I
would
add,
also
I
serve
on
the
committee
with
the
community
foundation
to
evaluate
grant
applications
and
we
are
scheduled
for
the
next.
The
next
set
of
grant
applications
are
open
now,
and
so,
if
any
agencies
are
interested
in
applying
for
those,
the
applications
are
available
and
we
will
evaluate
starting
on
august
11th,
so
that
next
set
will
be
that
we're
just
happy,
as
can
be
with
that
process.
J
Okay,
again
tell
council
to
previous
action
to
build
reserve,
diversify
revenue
streams,
invest
in
the
island.
All
of
these
things
continue
to
benefit
the
town
and
continue
to
help
the
town
have
resilience
when,
whether
it's
a
storm
or
whether
it's
coveted
to
to
thrive
in
the
midst
of
difficult
circumstances
and
so
may
preliminary
results.
As
the
chairman
said,
this
is
11
months
in
11
out
of
12,
and
so
we
are
getting
close
to
the
end.
May
you
can
see
these
are
general
fund
revenues.
J
May
is
not
a
big
collection
month,
but
we
did
have
a
higher
collection
in
may
of
2022
than
the
last
three
years
and
for
the
year
to
date
we
are
nine
of
11
months
greater
than
last
year.
So
we're
happy
to
report
that
our
revenue
strength
continues
again
we're
continuing
to
exceed
the
last
three
years.
This
is
year-to-date
revenues
and
so
year-to-date
collections,
11
months
in
we've
collected
41
million.
Our
budget
is
44,
and
so
we're
well
on
track
to
meet
and
exceed
the
budget
for
2022.
J
june
is
a
big
collection
month
and
so
the
way
that
we
record
revenues.
It's
got
to
be
due
for
june
30th,
and
so
it's
got
to
be
officially
owed
at
june
30th,
it's
got
to
be
measurable
and
it's
got
to
be
available
and
available.
We
measure
that
through
do
we
receive
that
by
july
31st
and
so
everything
through
july
31st
that
relates
to
june
30.
J
J
J
I
J
Look
at
our
revenues
11
months
in
and
so
some
of
the
seasonal
variation
is
out.
Our
tif
continues
to
work
well.
At
eight
percent
up
local
latex
continues
very
strong
at
35
percent
up
state,
a
tax,
very
strong
35
percent
up
real
estate
transfer
fee
last
year.
2021
was
a
record
year
and
so
we're
only
one
and
a
half
percent
behind
a
record
year,
and
so
we
are
very
pleased
with
that
age.
Tax
at
30
percent,
up
beach
preservation,
fee,
35,
up
electric
franchise
fee.
J
We've
had
some
communications
with
our
friends
at
palmetto,
electric
and
there's
a
seasonal
aspect
of
it.
There's
a
weather
aspect
of
it
and
and
so
we're
just
a
little
bit
behind,
but
that
happens
and
and
they
expected
that
and
and
our
numbers
did
not
surprise
them
at
all
road
usage
fee.
We
paused
on
our
collections,
and
so
this
stopped
earlier
in
the
year.
Storm
water
we're
almost
fully
collected
and
it's
very,
very
stable,
and
so
our
stormwater
numbers
are
what
we
would
expect
and
property
taxes.
We
talked
about.
J
Business
licenses
june
is
still
a
big
month
for
business
licenses,
and
so
we
can
say
we're
29
up
this
year,
but
june
will
be
significant
and
so
it'll
be
interesting
to
see
how
those
final
numbers
come
in
emergency
management,
our
ambulance
fees,
8.7
up,
and
so
that's
a
measure
of
activity
at
the
same
rates,
and
so
our
permits
are
down,
but
last
year
was
a
really
really
good
year,
and
so,
if
we're
off
just
a
little
bit,
that's
not
too
much
of
a
disappointment.
John.
F
J
J
One
of
the
things
that
we're
still
looking
at
is
how
much
of
that
is
a
timing
aspect,
and
so
businesses
have
a
choice:
do
they
want
to
pay
monthly
or
they
want
to
pay
quarterly
and
so,
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
consistent
from
year
to
year,
and
so
I
think,
we'll
have
a
more
full
picture
once
we
get
the
july
revenues
in,
but
we'll
I
have
a
little
bit
more
information
later.
Okay,.
F
A
J
Yes,
and
so
that's,
I
think,
would
be
a
good
discussion
for
another
day
to
talk
about
the
the
permits
that
we
keep,
because
we
do
have
separate
funds
for
those
and
just
kind
of
go
through
the
activity,
that's
related
to
those
permits
and
then
the
beaufort
county
we
collect
on
their
behalf
and
remit
to
them.
That's
a
different
thing.
So
I
think
yes,
that,
like
to
mr
harkin's
point,
this
is
streamlining.
C
On
the
road
usage
fee,
I
recall
the
reasons
that
we
suspended
it,
but
it
looks
like
the
legislature
has
gone
full
circle
and
possibly
opened
that
up.
It
probably
is
a
question
for
legal
advice
to
come
forward
to
us,
but
I
think
we
ought
to
look
at
the
effects
of
the
new
legislation
that
came
down
at
the
end
of
the
session
on
the
road
usage
fee.
I'm
not
asking
for
an
answer
right
now.
I'm
just
posing
the
question.
C
J
J
J
Have
it
soon
business
licenses
a
little
bit
of
this
we've
got
local
business
license.
Then
we
have
some
state
collected,
masc
business
license
revenue
and
we
also
have
a
little
bit
of
transportation
revenue.
I
think
we
should
just
talk
about
the
first
two,
and
I
think
this
speaks
a
little
bit
to
alex's
question.
J
I
think
you're,
seeing
that
difference
is
probably
more
in
tune
with
how
much
the
model
ordinance
added
to
the
change
in
activity,
and
so
we'll
have
a
little
bit
more
of
this
dynamic,
a
more
complete
picture
with
the
june
numbers,
but
I
think
you'll
see.
I
think
those
numbers
will
be
an
indicator
of
how
much
of
that
change
in
the
ordinance
came
back
into
our
revenues.
J
J
This
is
just
the
first
column
is
year
to
date,
so
it's
11
months
and
the
second
column
is
all
12
months
of
last
year,
and
so
what
this
shows
for
the
state
is
that
there's
large
collections
in
june,
and
so
what
I'm
just
trying
to
show
in
this
slide
is
that
june
is
really
important
and
we
need
june
to
get
a
full
picture,
and
so
it's
it's
less
than
a
full
year's
collection,
because
there
was
only
11
months
and
june.
Isn't
a
large
collection
month.
So.
F
J
No,
what
the
great
study
was
the
rate
study
was
based
on
the
previous
years,
and
so
we
had
a
neutral
stance
with
the
change
in
the
business
license
categories,
the
different
categories
that
the
business
is
reported
to
and
with
the
model
ordinance
it
changed.
A
number
of
different
categories
of
businesses
reported
to
and
those
rates
were
slightly
different
in
the
different
categories.
J
F
We
don't
have
to
reevaluate.
If
we
are,
I
mean
after
after
june
is
done,
we'll
have
a
better
picture,
not
a
totally
clear
picture,
because
we
still
have
some
overlap
between
the
two
when
the
ordinance
was
adopted.
I
guess
where
I'm
going
is:
are
we
free
and
clear
of
having
to
go
back
and
reevaluate
our
rates.
J
J
J
J
This
is
more.
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit.
We
are
82
spent
82
and
a
half
percent
spent
through
the
end
of
may
and
last
year
we
were
eighty
point.
Eight
percent
spent
through
the
end
of
may
and
us
and
a
couple
of
things
that
drive.
That
is
that
one,
our
budgets
are
a
little
bit
tighter
and
so
we're
showing
a
little
bit
higher
percentage
and
also
we
are
very
purposeful.
J
A
year
ago
we
were
holding
back
a
little
bit
just
because
of
a
nervousness
for
the
covid,
and
this
year
we
have
been
more
make
sure
that
we
go
and
do
what's
been
anticipated
in
the
budget,
and
so
what
that
will
mean
is
there
will
have
a
higher
utilization
of
our
budget
when
all
is
reported,
temporary
use
of
the
reserves
we're
looking
good.
If
you
just
look
at
that
bottom
line,
4.6
million
to
the
good
year
to
date
through
may
compared
to
1.7
million
year-to-date
may
2021,
and
so
that's
good.
J
J
I
J
I
think
is
worth
talking
about
and
you
can
see
2022
the
green
line
has
been
consistently
better
than
the
last
three
years
all
year
long
and
so,
as
we
go
into
our
one
of
our
most
important
months
june,
we're
positioned
well
that
we
should
put
some
money
back
into
the
general
fund
and
so
the
last
couple
of
years,
the
last
three
years
you
can
see
there
was
really
strong
june
collections
and
so
that
helped
at
the
end
of
the
year.
We
hope
to
have
something
similar.
E
J
Report
some
good
news
beach
fee.
May
we
again
a
very
similar
story
more
than
the
last
two
years
may
is
not
a
big
collection
month,
but
we
continue
the
same
trend.
Green
is
2022
higher
than
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
so
we're
it's
an
important
revenue
and
it
continues
to
do
well.
Hospitality
similar
may
is
better
than
the
last
couple
of
years
and
we
continued
to
do
better
than
the
last
two
years
for
hospitality.
J
J
J
I
think
we
need
our
stormwater
people
to
talk
about
that,
but
they
do
spend
there's
a
certain
amount
that
we
capitalize
each
year,
and
this
is
new
and
different
and
then
there's
most
of
the
activity
is
related
to
maintenance,
and
so
that's
about
keeping
the
system
in
good
operating
order,
and
so
I
think
that's
what
we
want
our
stormwater
people
to
talk
about
and
talk
about
how
they
measure
that,
how
they
determine
the
priorities
of
the
projects.
I
think
that
would
be
a
really
healthy
discussion.
J
J
J
If
any
one
revenue
item
might
be
in
might
be
bad
or
a
bad
collection
here,
we've
got
other
options
to
go
to
so
this
is
this
helps
to
offset
revenue.
Another
thing
I
wanted
to
talk
about
is
how
do
you
manage
to
a
recession?
If
you
just
look
at
this
pie
chart
of
our
budget,
our
debt
service
is
fixed.
We
have
to
pay
it
our
general
fund,
our
basic
town
operations
tone
council,
does
have
until
management
has
the
option
if
they
needed
to.
A
J
C
J
G
J
And
that's
that's
been
interesting
because
at
that,
at
the
very
start
of
the
coven,
we
were
the
first
jurisdiction
that
moody's
called
and
wanted
to
know
how
we
were
going
to
manage
through
the
covet
and
what
the
impact
of
covid
would
have
on
a
economic
or
an
economy
that
is
based
on
tourism
and
that
they
were
concerned.
And
so,
with
the
last
meeting
that
we
had
it's
been
a
couple
of
months
with
the
moody's
agency.
They
were
100,
satisfied
and
took
away
the
credit
watch
and,
and
they
they
sang
our
prices.
I
F
Yeah
john
thanks
for
going
through
these
slides
and
fairly
quickly,
still
trying
to
get
my
head
wrapped
around
some
of
it.
So
I'm
gonna
actually
a
very
direct
question
with
with
june
being
so
important
to
us
on
the
revenue
side
and
also,
as
we
went
through
the
expenditure
side,
a
lot
of
the
expenses.
F
J
We're
going
to
be
ahead,
we're
going
to
add
money
to
the
general
fund
balance
this
year,
okay,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
just
a
matter
of
you
know.
What
is
that
amount?
And
you
know
town
council
this
year
voted
to
increase
the
reserve
policy,
and
so
I
think,
adding
to
the
fund
balance
this
year.
It
works
very
well
with
that
new
policy
and
and
we'll
talk
about
the
amounts
here
in
very
soon
sure.
Thank
you.
C
J
No,
I
think
what
we're
seeing
is
and
speak
to
councilman
brown's
question.
Is
that
we're
a
more
complete
utilization
of
the
budget
and
so
there's
what
is
turned
back
or
we
call
turn
back
a
budget
not
expended
is
going
down
with
tighter
budgets,
but
what
we're
going
to
see
is
revenues
above
expectations,
and
so
we
can
are
happy
to
report
that
and.
D
The
adoption
of
the
town
of
hilton
head
budget
should
not
have
been
approved,
nor
should
have
the
fraudulent
town
audit
been
approved
by
green
fenney
farm.
Until
our
corrupted
town
officials
undergo
a
forensic
audit,
they
have
all
been
caught
at
illegal
criminal
acts
already,
including
fraud,
ethics
violations,
illegal
criminal
use
of
tax
funds
that
include
corrupted
town
manager,
mark
orlando
insider
from
bluffton
lawyer,
josh,
grouper
insider
from
buford
and
lawyer
curtis
coltrane
insider
lawyer,
who
drafted
a
fraudulent
contract
with
lawyer
terry
finger
to
fund
millions
to
the
hilton
hip
bluffton
chamber,
with
no
accounting
required.
D
Yes,
we
all
got
the
middle
finger.
Cpa
john
troyer,
once
forensically
audited,
will
reveal
crimes
such
as
embezzlement,
payoffs
laundering,
facilitating
illegal
funding
with
other
insiders,
steve
reilly,
the
past
30-year
town
manager
and
mark
orlando.
Once
this
forensic
audit
is
complete,
I
predict
will
be
prosecuted
and
probably
arrested,
based
on
the
private
investigations
and
information
already
provided
by
south
carolinawatchdog.com.
D
Note
an
interesting
fact:
never
in
the
300-year
history
of
south
carolina
or
the
entire
u.s,
when
a
forensic
audit
was
forced,
escaped
wrongdoing
and
waste
being
discovered
and
much
much
much
of
the
time
prison.
The
result
I'm
calling
for
a
forensic
audit
in
all
of
beaufort
county
since
so
much
illegal
criminal
tax
use
has
already
been
caught
and
the
overwhelming
majority
of
elected
officials
are
factually
dishonest,
crooked
and
corrupted.
D
It's
a
known
fact
hired,
cookie
cutter
financial
audits
only
show
the
numbers.
Insiders
want
us
to
see
by
design
to
hide
crimes.
Only
a
forensic
audit
identifies
crimes
in
waste.
Folks,
tens
of
millions
of
hardened
tax
dollars
money
have
for
the
last
40
years
in
beaver
county
has
disappeared,
with
zero
oversight,
transparency
and
accountability
or
real
audits.
D
It's
time
to
clean
up,
not
the
beautiful
swamp
where
nice
creatures
live,
but
the
cesspool
of
incestuous
baton
passing
backslapping
backroom
dealing
lying
stealing,
incompetent
corruption.
We
have
all
been
dealing
with
and
living
within,
beaufort
county
for
50
years
again

h,

I
hold
in
my
hand
evidence
that
you
conspired
and
no
knowingly
schemed
another
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
tax
theft
to
others
to
use
for
with
others
to
publicly
fund
the

the
private
