Description
Town of Hilton Head Island, Town Council Meeting July 19, 2022, 3 PM
Meeting Agenda available at https://www.hiltonheadislandsc.gov/towncouncil/agendas
B
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
Mark
and
good
afternoon
members
of
council
I'm,
Jeff
Buckley
Town
engineer,
and
yes,
this
is
a
an
item
in
our
strategic
work
plan
very
important
to
us.
I'm
going
to
be
heading
it
up.
Here's
the
the
purpose
statement
within
the
plan
it
kicks
off
in
July
of
22,
and
it's
going
to
run
through
July
of
23,
that's
phase
one
you
will
call.
As
Mark
mentioned
there
was
a
resolution
from
the
greater
Island
Council.
B
It
came
forward
to
the
Planning
Commission
last
October
and
was
forwarded
onto
Town
Council
in
April.
It
was
a
unanimously
approved
by
Council
since
that
time,
I
have
sent
that
resolution
and
your
approval
to
the
County
Administrator
and
key
Strath
at
the
county
and
I
know.
At
that
time
there
were
questioned.
What's
next,
what
is
Staff
going
to
do?
B
What
do
we
do
from
this
point
on
that
resolution
basically
said
that
the
greater
Island
Council
recommends
the
Town
and
County
councils
work
together
on
a
long-term
agreement
for
the
recycling
and
landfill
needs
of
the
island
and
the
county.
Since
that
time,
I
have
been
talking
with
County
staff.
We
have
set
up
monthly
meetings
with
key
personnel,
Solid
Waste
and
Recycling
director
Cindy
Carter
myself,
Neil
Desai
Public
Works
director
we're
also
going
to
involve
the
greater
Island
Council
Peter
Christian,
as
chairman
of
the
sustainability
advisory
committee.
B
B
Also
of
note,
just
last
month,
the
county
approved
a
solid
waste
management
plan.
This
is
a
20-year
plan
to
guide
their
efforts.
There
are
five
major
goals
listed
there.
Of
course
we
have
a
lot
of
mutual
goals
in
common,
but
we're
going
to
work
together
on
the
greater
Island
Council
resolution,
getting
amendments
Etc
in
place
as
we
move
forward
over
the
coming
year.
B
B
C
You
thank
you
Jeff
is.
It
seems
to
me
that
there
are
two
main
issues
here.
One
is
trying
to
find
a
site
for
a
new
disposal
for
a
new
dump
if
you
will
Southern
Beaufort
County
right
center.
Yes,
we
know
that
the
one
in
Jasper
County
is
is
reaching
capacity,
and
so
is
that
going
to
be
a
Thrust
of
yours.
B
Yes,
yes,
I
understand.
The
county
is
going
to
renegotiate
with
Hickory
Hill
waste
management
for
that
landfill
site.
I,
understand
they've
applied
for
permits
to
expand
that
site
to
build
20
years
of
new
capacity
into
that
site,
but
yeah
the
more
options
we
have
and
the
closer
proximity
to
Hilton
Head,
the
the
more
you
know,
marketable
and
feasible,
is
going
to
be
to
get
higher
recycling
numbers
and.
C
D
From
my
perspective,
listening
to
a
number
of
people
in
the
community
there's
a
great
deal
of
cynicism
relative
to
our
commitment
to
recycling,
and
this
seems
to
emanate
from
the
as-is
situation
where
trucks
come
in
and
have
on
their
on
their
signage.
We
recycle
only
to
find
out
they
really
don't
when
they
head
to
the
dump.
Many
of
them
have
to
pay
an
extra
fee
for
that
recycling
to
be
dumped
in
a
certain
location
and
that
that
has
resulted
in
the
cynicism
of
what
we
were
doing
today
and
I.
I.
D
Think
and
I
know
what
you're
doing
is
good
we're
heading
in
the
right
direction,
but
I
think
we
have
to
have
an
ongoing
progress
communication
program
with
the
community
so
that
they
a
know
what
the
problem
is
and
then
B
know
what
we're
doing
to
look
at
Solutions,
so
I
would
encourage
these
presentations
are
important,
but
this
is
a
a
project.
That's
going
to
extend
for
a
number
of
months,
the
next
couple
years
and
I
think
Community
Education
is
going
to
be
important
to
get
support.
D
E
F
F
B
Yes,
that
is
the
case
and
right
now,
I
think
we
got
folks
here
from
public
works,
but
as
a
workaround
to
to
let
people
recycle
anyone
to
recycle
that
may
not
have
a
decal
to
dump
there
they've
stationed
the
decal
reader
up
at
the
actual
dumping
bins.
So
you
could
go
in
and
drop
off
your
recycling
and
I.
Think
if
you
got
up
there
and
didn't
have
a
decal,
they
would
wave
you
through
and
and
I
think
that's
kind
of
a
work
around
given
the
layout
of
of
the
site
and
the
infrastructure.
B
F
G
H
B
Yeah
I
think
there
could
be
infrastructure
changes
out
there,
I
think
with
the
traffic
demands,
we
could
better
separate
traffic.
There's
a
you
know:
a
class
two
centered
down
the
road
at
the
end
of
Summit
Drive.
A
lot
of
truck
traffic
coming
through
I
think
we
separated
traffic
there
but,
as
we
just
said
getting
recyclables
available
to
everyone,
you
know,
even
without
the
decal
is
key
and
so
I
think
there's
infrastructure
improvements.
We
can
make
to
decide
to
make
that
more
functional
and
easier
for
folks
to
use
yes,
sir.
I
Know
councilman
Harkins
made
a
statement
that
there's
cynicism
in
the
community
because
the
collectors
of
recycled
materials
aren't
actually
recycling.
It
I've
asked
previously
to
confirm
that
so
that
our
residents,
who
are
paying
a
recycling
fee
can
make
a
decision
as
to
whether
or
not
they
want
to
continue
supporting
that
at
their
expense.
I
It
would
be
my
goal
that
we
had
100
percent
recycling
on
the
island,
but
I
think
it's
misleading,
disingenuous
if
citizens
are
paying
for
something
that
they're
not
not
receiving
so
I
again
request
that
we
confirm
that
this
is
happening
or
not
happening,
so
the
residents
can
get
an
answer.
Thank
you.
G
A
A
Next
most
recently
I
received
a
a
few
phone
calls
and
a
few
emails
about
our
beach
regulations.
So
I've
asked
Josh
Gruber
our
Deputy
Town
manager
to
give
a
a
brief
synopsis
of
the
issue
that
we
that
we
encountered
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
then
also
a
little
bit
about
our
current
ranks
and
what
we
do
moving
forward.
Thank.
J
You
Josh
thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
members
of
council,
Mr
Orlando
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
items
as
as
Mr
Orlando
had
indicated
first
and
foremost
I
want
to
let
you
know
about
an
upcoming
event.
Mark
your
calendars.
The
public
planning
committee
on
August
4th
at
9
00
a.m
is
going
to
be
holding
a
meeting
and,
at
that
time,
they're
going
to
be
receiving
a
presentation
from
PCI
Municipal
Services
PCI
Municipal
Services
is
the
firm
that
we
are
recommending
that
we
move
forward
with
in
terms
of
our
beach
parking
management
and
enforcement.
J
We've
been
working
with
them
over
the
course
of
the
last
month
to
really
develop
kind
of
a
very
comprehensive
plan
that
looks
at
each
of
our
individual
areas
separately
and
provide
solutions
to
those
particular
areas.
Part
of
what
really
Drew
us
to
this
firm
is
the
fact
that
they
are
a
boutique
firm
who's
wholly
focused
on
providing
high
quality,
Municipal
parking
and
Management
Services
to
Municipal
clients.
Only.
They
also
tailor
and
are
flexible
to
each
of
their
needs
to
meet
their
clients,
unique
circumstances
and
obviously
I
think.
J
Most
of
you
would
agree
that
we
are
not
like
necessarily
other
people,
and
so
the
fact
that
they
were
willing
to
come
in
and
create
a
solution
that
is
tailored
to
our
specific
needs,
really
got
us
excited
so
mark
your
calendars.
For
that
that's
been
in
the
works
for
a
while.
We
want
to
make
sure
sure
that
people
are
aware
and
can
listen
and
attend,
as
that
goes
forward.
J
I
also
want
to
highlight
very
quickly
some
Recaps.
From
the
recent
holiday
weekend.
The
beach
operations
team
was
out
in
full
force
from
July
1st
through
July
4th.
We
had
a
presence
in
our
parks
on
the
beaches
and
within
all
of
our
facilities
from
5
a.m.
Until
10
pm
each
day
obviously
was
a
very
busy
time,
but
as
of
now,
there's
been
no
major
incidents
to
report
that
have
come
back
at
any
of
the
Town
facilities.
J
Additionally,
the
Palmetto
Breeze
was
busy
all
four
days
providing
shuttle
service
and
we
were
able
to
estimate
that
at
any
given
time.
The
Overflow
lot
at
uscb
was
about
three
quarters
of
the
way
full
and
that's
a
new
record
for
us
in
terms
of
the
volume
of
people
that
are
utilizing
that
as
a
viable
parking
option,
the
on
July
5th
the
day
following
the
July
4th
holiday
staff
worked
with
Turtle
trackers,
Shore
Beach
services
and
others
to
arrange
for
a
beach
cleanup,
as
has
historically
happened.
J
We
have
a
lot
of
revelers
and
people
who
want
to
be
out
on
the
beach.
The
night
of
July
4th.
This
year
was
no
exception,
and
so
there
was
a
significant
volume
of
trash
that
was
left
on
the
beach
and
staff
was
out
there
with
other
organizations
to
make
sure
that
that
got
cleaned
up
as
quickly
as
possible.
In
addition,
they
also
had
Pro
disposal
place
an
additional
25
96
gallon
trash
cans
to
try
and
anticipate
the
additional
increase
in
volume
of
waste.
J
Areas
where
fishing
is
prohibited
are
delineated
by
markers
that
are
placed
in
the
dunes
and
their
designated
swimming
areas,
areas
outside
of
those
markers.
It
is
permissible
for
fishing.
However,
there
are
several
additional
regulations
that
are
in
place:
one
you're
not
allowed
to
use
quote-unquote
bloody
bait.
We
do
have
staff
that
goes
up
and
they
will
inspect
to
see
what
forms
of
bait
are
being
used.
J
Now,
what's
a
little
bit
difficult
about
enforcement
of
that
is
that,
as
most
of
you
know,
with
fishing,
you
may
not
know
what
it
is
that
you
are
going
to
catch
until
you
have
actually
landed
it
on
the
beach.
So
the
way
that
we
have
approached
the
enforcement
of
that
regulation
is
that
you
are
presumed
to
not
be
shark
fishing
until
you
catch
a
shark,
then
you
are
determined
to
be
shark
fishing
and
you
must
cease
fishing
at
that
point.
J
That
sounds
a
little
bit
convoluted,
but
again,
knowing
that
the
language
is
in
place
and
knowing
the
practicalities
of
enforcing
it.
That
is
how
we
have
gone
about
working
both
with
staff
and
with
Shore
Beach
services
to
address
those
concerns.
If
and
when
they
do
come
up
in
terms
of
concerns
regarding
the
treatment
of
animals
that
was
part
of
what
had
come
across.
J
Some
of
the
correspondence
that
we've
received,
we
were
contacted
the
South
Carolina
Department
of
Natural
Resources
they're,
the
state
agency
who's
in
charge
of
regulating
fishing
within
the
state
of
South
Carolina.
We
asked
them
to
look
at
both
videos
and
photographs
that
had
been
provided
to
us
as
part
of
these
issues
and
based
upon
their
observations.
They
did
not
observe
anything
that
would
constitute
a
violation
or
mistreatment
of
the
animals.
J
J
We
know
that
there's
likely
to
be
some
discussion
about
best
practices,
and
so,
as
we
go
forward
with
talking
about
improving
our
beach
Master
plans
and
overall
Beach
experiences,
one
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
with
staff
is
asking
them
to
survey
other
communities
to
look
at
what
are
in
fact
the
best
practices
of
this
issue.
We
know
that
there
are
vocal
people
on
both
sides:
people
passionate
about
their
Beach
experience,
people,
passionate
about
recreational
opportunities
and
outdoor
Lifestyles.
We
understand
that
so
we
want
to
kind
of
see.
J
K
Hopefully,
each
one
of
us
and
our
visitors
are
also
pitching
in
and
respecting
our
Island
as
they
use
it
since,
since
the
comment
was
made,
that
DNR
didn't
see
any
issues
with
what
clearly,
we
all
saw
I'm
going
to
adjust,
plead
and
ask,
and
perhaps
we
can
create
an
ongoing
campaign
of
informing
our
visitors
and
residents
and
all
who
come
here
to
enjoy
Hilton
Head
Island.
To
remember
that
we
do
protect
our
Wildlife
here.
K
I'm
also
going
to
ask
that,
as
we
see,
people
do
things
that
aren't
nice
to
our
Wildlife,
that
we
take
a
moment
and
ask
them
to
remember
that
on
Hilton
Head
we
have
a
standard.
That
is
that
we
protect
and
we
preserve
and
we
honor
our
wildlife
and
our
environment,
and
it's
because
of
that
that
they're
coming
here
it's
because
of
what
we've
preserved
and
protected
in
the
past.
That
brings
people
back
and
makes
them
want
to
become
residents
and
continue
the
cycle
that
we
have
here
on
Hilton
Head.
K
If
we
don't
do
that,
then
we
look
with
chance
of
losing
it
all
so
I'm
going
to
ask
everyone
here
to
spread
the
word
I'm
going
to
ask
that
in
some
article
that
some
paper
may
be
writing
that
they
mentioned
clearly
that
on
Hilton
Head,
we
protect
our
Wildlife,
that
we
honor
the
environment,
and
we
would
ask
everyone
to
make
sure
that
they
remember
that
when
they're
here,
I
disagree
with
the
assessment
that
was
made
and
I'm
asking
for
everyone's
help.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
Josh.
Thank
you
very
much,
Josh
good
job,
all
right
last
but
not
least,
Mr
Sean
Sean's
here
to
give
an
update,
Mary
Council
to
you
and
the
community
to
let
us
know
what
really
has
transpired
on
the
William
Hilton
Parkway
Gateway
Corridor
project,
since
we've
last
had
our
most
recent
public
meeting,
which
was
a
few
months
ago,
the
joint
public
meeting
between
Beaufort,
County,
Council
and,
and
all
of
you
so
Sean.
Thank
you
for
your
steadfast
approach
on
this
project.
Thanks.
L
We've
had
related
to
the
project
not
to
go
back
to
October.
But
that's
when
you
approve
your
recommendations.
We
received
a
response
from
Beaufort
County
staff
early
part
of
the
year
and
then
ask
County
Council
to
plan.
You
know
to
approve
that
as
well
and
send
that
on
to
us-
and
that
came
about
the
time
the
scdot
had
their
public
meeting
on
the
modified,
revised
preferred
alternative.
I.
Think
something
like
that.
L
Everybody
good
all
right,
so,
on
April
5th,
we
had
the
benefit
of
the
scdot
public
meeting
at
the
Island
rec
center.
We
had
the
benefit
of
hearing
from
County
staff
and
County
Council
on
the
responses
to
our
26
recommendations
and
at
the
April
5th
Workshop
of
council
I
led
a
discussion
to
go
through
each
one
of
those
26
recommendations
and
to
get
benefit
of
comments
from
our
Council
Beaufort
County
council
members
that
were
there.
L
We
had
Senator
Davis
in
attendance
and
also
we
had
staff
from
the
county
in
the
town
that
shared
opinions
we
later
convened
at
Beaufort,
County
Administrative
Office
on
April
21st,
where
they
had
asked
sedot
to
come
in
and
provide
some
additional
information
related
to
the
modified
preferred
alternative.
The
reaction
to
the
Town
Council
recommendations
as
well,
as
you
know,
kind
of
share
some
thoughts
between
participants
on
their
on
the
recommendations.
So
we
we
know,
we
heard
some
County
council
members
didn't
necessarily
agree
with
the
recommendations.
L
L
So
this
is
a
lot
on
one
slide,
but
but
bear
with
me.
These
are
the
steps
that
are
outlined
for
each
or
for
to
to
get
to
where
I
think
we've
got
Town
consideration.
We've
got
the
information
needed
to
make
a
decision
and
we've
we've
gone
through
kind
of
the
exhaustive
process
here.
So
you
know
the
first
and
next
step
is
executing
an
mou
or
an
agreement
with
Beaufort
County
that
puts
all
this
stuff
in
place.
L
We
agree,
along
with
the
county,
to
do
this
work
step
one
through
nine,
and
at
the
end
of
that
we
will
be
in
a
position
to
make
a
decision.
I
mean
it's
that's
a
simple
oversubful
location
of
this
whole
process,
but
that's
what's
outlined
here:
okay,
so
number
one
kind
of
memorializes,
this
County
Council
Town
Council,
have
an
agreement
that
if
we
do
these
things
we
will
have,
we
will
be
ready
to
make
a
decision
and
move
forward.
L
How
are
you
doing
at
scope
of
work,
timing
and
so
forth?
Agreement
on
the
Adaptive
signalization
system,
I
think
we're
in
agreement.
It's
just
a
matter
of
timing.
I
think
we
have
it
programmed
in
our
CIP
to
do
all
the
signals
on
the
island.
We'd
love
to
coordinate
that
with
a
county
to
make
sure
Mainland
signals
are
part
of
the
project
because
it's
important
to
synchronize
all
of
them
and
then
also
have
the
maintenance
operations
in
place
so
that
we
don't
lose
the
benefit
of
putting
them
in.
L
So
that's
that's
another
mou
or
an
agreement,
and
then
the
third
one
is
agreement
on
the
Community,
Development,
Corporation
and
I
know
that's
advanced
Dancing,
In
Parallel,
but
is
certainly
related
to
this
project
and
the
benefits
that
we've
talked
with
Senator
Davis
about
of
creating
that
and
having
State
funding
associated
with
it
all
right,
so
I'm
going
to
dive
in
a
little
bit
in
the
next
step,
the
complete
to
end-to-end
analysis.
So
we've
been
talking
about
this
now
for
a
few
months.
L
You
know
we
had
a
third,
a
90,
90
day,
shot,
clock
or
and
I
think
it's
been
100
days,
since
we
had
that
initial
discussion,
so
I'm
ready
to
again
to
begin
with.
You
know,
filling
your
expectations
and
executing
the
work
so
because
of
the
shot
clock
we
had
reached
out
to
our
transportation
expert
at
mksk
to
get
some
advice
on
folks.
That
might
be
qualified
to
do
it
in
that
time
frame
you
know
night
and
that
was
90
to
100
and
I,
think
it
got
shrunk
to
90..
L
L
We
had
a
Mark
and
I
had
a
conversation
with
him,
along
with
Brad
Strader
with
mksk,
and
we
had
a
level
of
confidence
that
he
was
asking
the
right
questions
and
and
they
could
perform
some
level
of
analysis
and
and
if
that
was
the
direction
that
the
Town
and
County
were
going
collectively,
then
you
know
that
was.
That
was
an
option.
L
So
we
need
to
talk
about
well,
I'm,
sorry
and
then
Beaufort
County,
because
they
have
Kimberly
Hornet
on
call
preferred
to
yeah.
Let's
go
forward
with
Kimberly
horn.
We
have
him
on
an
on-call
contract.
We
can
execute
that
more
quickly
and
if
that's
an
option,
then
we
can
move
forward
with
them
together.
L
If
that's
the
direction
of
counsel
which
I'm
not
suggesting,
then
that's
an
option.
Okay,
we
need
to
decide
if
we're
ready
to
move
forward
on
our
own.
The
funding
and
I'll
have
Senator
Davis,
confirm
it,
but
I,
but
I've
asked
him
last
week
in
conversation,
the
the
funding
that
the
state
had
identified
to
do
this
project.
It
could
be
made
available
to
us
on
a
reimbursement
for
this.
This
effort.
If
we
decide
to
go
and
procure
an
independent
consultant
to
do
the
work.
Okay,.
L
L
We
know
that
there
was
maybe
a
little
bit
of
movement
on
some
of
those
recommendations
closer
to
where
the
town
was
with
the
recommendations
and
there's
kind
of
a
hard
line,
but
I
think
in
order
to
do
the
evaluation
to
understand
impact
mitigation
funding,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
know
exactly
where
Beaufort
County
is
and
how
that
evaluated.
It's
very
important
when
we
cost
out
the
options
to
know
are
we
is
it
a
10
foot
wide
breakdown
lane
or
shoulder?
L
Is
it
six
feet
wide
and
there's
already
been
some
movement,
so
one
final
position
on
those
recommendations
from
Beaufort
County
and
that
will
be
a
requirement
in
the
mou
that
we
would
enter
with
a
County
on
this
overall
scope.
Okay,
to
complete
the
work
number
five,
we
will
work
with
mksk
and
their
team
to
do
the
evaluation
of
probable
cause
engineering,
probable
costs
for
all
the
recommendations,
so
that
we
can
speak
intelligently
to
know.
Is
there
cost
savings
with
our
recommendation
or
is
it
more?
L
Does
it
cost
more
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what's
the
net
gain
or
or
not
deficit
that
we
have
to
make
up
with
this?
You
know
with
this
project,
I
will
say
that
MKS
can
HDR
help
the
project,
look
at
the
the
traditional
cultural
property
impact
and,
based
on
that
evaluation,
we
were
able
to
move
scdot
to
not
do
the
the
u-turns
right,
so
we
made
so
there's
opportunity.
We
need
to
have
that
assessment
because
it's
part
of
the
decision
making
process.
L
We
need
to
have
a
level
of
comfort
through
this
complete
impact
mitigation
assessment
for
the
whole
for
the
corridor.
We
really
need
to
understand
that
down
to
the
you
know
the
finest
detail
that
we
can,
because
we're
going
to
get
one
chance
to
get
it
to
get
it
right,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
asking
for
everything
we
need
to
as
this
project
moves
forward.
But
that's
a
critical
point
and
a
critical
step
in
this
process
complete
the
value
engineering.
L
There
is
already
a
process
and
again
some
benefit
of
talking
with
Jonathan
guy
at
Kimberly
horn.
That's
part
of
the
NEPA
process,
they're
required
to
do
it,
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
review
it,
but
really
it's
where
where's
an
opportunity
for
cost
savings,
and
can
we
reprogram
that
funding
back
into
the
project
and
so
everything's,
not
just
an
ad
as
we
get
toward
the
end
of
this
process.
The
coordination
of
a
meeting
on
the
on
the
Gateway
project,
we'll
coordinate
that
with
Town
Council?
L
L
Where
are
we,
as
it
impacts
project
budget,
from
what's
being
projected
to
the
the
final
configuration
that
would
be
represented
as
a
result
of
this
process,
and
we
have
mksk
again
working
on
the
cost
evaluation,
but
also
on
some
fly-throughs
to
really
be
able
to
understand
the
experience
through
the
corridor
and
make
sure
that
that's
represented
when
we
have
these
discussions
at
the
end,
I
think
that's
a
critical
element
and
then,
at
the
end
you
know
it's
back.
It's
Town
Council
consideration
for
consent
and
we're
talking
about
the
bridge.
L
The
corridor
impacts
the
mitigation
we'll
continue
through
the
design.
You
know
we're
trying
to
get
the
the
alignment
and
the
key
elements,
and
it
will
continue
through
our
mou
to
be
involved
in
a
partnership
through
all
elements
of
design
through
the
end
of
the
project.
Critical,
that's
the
critical
critical
path.
Does
it
make
sense?
You
have
any
questions
on
that.
L
We
can
open
up
questions
at
the
end
too,
but
that's
what
I
see
as
the
path
forward
to
get
us
from
where
we
are
today
to
where
we
would
need
to
be
to
make
a
decision
now
I'm
going
to
go
on
for
one
next
slide
here
next
steps
in
schedule.
So
do
we
want
to
move
forward
with
Kimberly
horn?
Who
has
the
relationship
with
D.O.T?
We've
got
some
concern
about
the
independent,
the
Optics
about
independence
and
being
objective,
I
trust,
Jonathan,
guy,
I,
trust,
Brad,
Strader,
but
I
do
understand.
The
concern.
L
I
have
some
concerns
about
Optics
as
well.
I
think
data
is
data,
methodology
and
scope
of
work
is
going
to
be
methodology
and
scope
of
work,
but
if
the
direction
is
to
move
forward
with
them,
that's
an
option.
We
do
have
an
option.
It'll,
take
about
six
to
nine
months
for
town
the
town
to
procure
its
own
engineering
consultant.
L
We
could
have
we've
already
started
to
draft
the
RFQ.
We
could
have
it
on
the
street
in
about
a
week
and
it'll
be
out
for
30
days
becure.
A
contractor
estimates
that
we've
heard
are
about
six
to
nine
months.
To
complete
this
end-to-end
analysis
and
to
have
some
some,
you
know
products
to
evaluate
at
the
end,
although
we'll
be
evaluating
it
all
the
way
through
you
know
the
the
schedule
I
put
on
that
is
today.
L
I
would
love
to
get
from
Town
Council
move
forward
with
the
county
and
Kimberly
horn
or
move
forward
independently
with
our
own
consultant
to
do
the
work.
Knowing
that
you
know
those
are
the
steps
that
we
need
to
go
through:
okay,
I'm,
going
to
come
back
to
that.
Okay.
The
next
step
is
to
finalize
the
mou,
this
big
mou
that
incorporates
all
of
these
steps.
Okay,
we
think
we
can
have
that
no
more
than
in
60
days
and
take
that
forward
to
both
our
both
councils
for
through
the
administrator
and
manager
for
consideration
and
agreement.
L
Okay,
that's
the
the
big
mou
that
says.
If
we
agree
to
do
it
and
we
agree
to
do
it,
this
way
we're
moving
forward
in
Partnership
to
reach
an
agreement
at
the
end
of
this
process,
we'll
move
forward
with
mksk
I've
already
signed
a
job
order
with
them
to
do
the
engineering
opinion
of
probable
cost,
along
with
the
graphics
and
the
fly-throughs,
to
help
us
with
that
experience.
So
that's
in
place,
it'll
be
done
concurrent
and
parallel
with
the
end-to-end
analysis,
but
I
don't
want
to
hold
them
off
too
much
longer.
L
We
know
that
there's
going
to
be
some
discussion
here,
maybe
tonight
and
then
coming
forward
about
a
stop
in
consideration
to
establish
that
Corporation.
You
know
I
think!
That's
us!
That's
the
town!
You
know
working
forward
on
that,
but
establishing
that
was
another
key
element
of
this
process
and
once
that's
stood
up,
then
I
think
we
can
celebrate
that
that
accomplishment.
L
Again,
there's
basically
two
options
on
on
the
table:
I
think
option
two
based
on
the
fact
that
we
need
to
have
that.
There's
some
work
that
still
needs
to
be
evaluated
and
at
the
Optics
to
make
sure
that
we
are
meeting
the
entire
of
of
our
citizens
that
option
option
two
to
do
it
on
our
own
might
be
the
best
Direction
I'm
going
to
bring
Senator
Davis
up.
M
M
Also,
you
guys
are
to
be
commended
for
the
initiative
you've
taken
with
the
Stoney
Community
Development
Corporation
I
mean
you
guys
took
the
bull
by
the
horns.
You
you
passed
a
resolution,
I
believe
was
three
or
four
months
ago.
Now,
on
the
strength
of
that,
we
were
able
to
secure
a
five
million
appropriation
from
the
state
I've
already
spoken
with
our
federal
delegation.
As
soon
as
that
is
stood
up
and
given
the
things
that
it
stands
for,
I
think
there's
an
excellent
opportunity
for
federal
funds
coming
in
to
supplement
these
State
dollars.
M
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
last
of
the
four
things,
the
four
things
being:
the
mksk
recommendations,
the
signalization
coordination
between
the
county
and
the
in
the
in
the
city
and
the
Stoney
CDC,
the
last
being
the
end-to-end
simulation
and
and
I
suspect.
That's
going
to
be
the
focus
of
a
lot
of
discussion
with
this
Council
all
I
can
do
is
share
with
you.
My
steps
and
my
thoughts
in
that
regard.
M
M
I
spoke
with
secretary
Hall
about
this
I
think
it
was
back
in
April
when
we
first
had
the
joint
meeting
between
the
town
and
the
county
about
the
need
to
do
some
new
end-to-end
simulations
with
the
revised
scope
and
she
indicated
at
that
time.
It
was
going
to
take
six
to
nine
months
and
may
have
cost
upwards
of
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
she
expressed
no
concerns
in
either
of
those
respects
either
in
regard
to
the
length
of
time
needed
to
do
the
simulation,
nor
in
regard
to
the
cost
so
and
and
I
appreciate
efficiency.
M
I
appreciate
the
attempt
to
save
money,
but
there's
risk
here
being
Pennywise
and
pound
foolish
by
tell
telescoping
your
simulation
period
into
90
days,
which
seems
to
be
kind
of
arbitrary
if
we're
being
told
that
it's
going
to
take
six
to
nine
months
and
the
Secretary
of
Transportation
is
saying
she
sees
that
as
reasonable
and
not
threatening
either
the
dot
project
or
the
Sip
funding.
I'm,
not
sure
why
we're
trying
to
telescope
things
down
into
the
90-day
window.
So
that's
one
observation
I'll
make.
M
The
second
is
in
regard
to
the
consultant
that
is
selected
and
obviously,
to
a
material
degree.
That's
a
subjective
determination
as
to
who's
best
qualified
I
can
only
offer
you
with
this
analogy,
I
view
your
role
here,
I'm
an
attorney
so
I,
look
at
things
in
terms
of
how
do
I
represent
a
client
and
how
do
I
best
represent
that
client.
M
By
analogy
you
are
the
attorney
for,
or
you
represent,
the
citizens
of
Hilton
Head
and
you're,
trying
to
put
yourself
in
the
best
position
to
make
the
best
possible
decision
on
behalf
of
your
constituents.
I,
don't
have
anything
bad
to
say,
I,
don't
know
anything
about
Kim
Lee
horn
I
can
say
that
there
is
always
the
danger
in
my
experience
when
you
hire
a
consultant
for
there
to
be
confirmation.
Bias
in
that.
M
If
you
have
an
existing
relationship
with
an
agency
that
obviously
has
a
material
interest
in
seeing
its
project
proceed
in
the
way
that
its
Engineers
designed
it
there
is
going
to
be
a
tendency
if
you
have
an
extensive
existing
relationship
with
that
agency
to
go
ahead
and
confirm,
what's
been
proposed,
and
if
this
town
truly
has
as
it's
objective,
to
put
itself
in
the
best
position
to
make
decisions
on
behalf
of
your
constituents,
it's
not
simply
merely
a
matter
of
Optics
and
what
what
people
might
say.
I
think
it
goes
to
substance.
M
M
You
you
choose
and
perhaps
even
more
important
is
the
scope
of
work
and
the
thing
that
you
want
that
consultant
to
do.
Okay,
it
doesn't
matter
how
good
your
consultant
is.
If
the
scope
of
work
you're
performing,
isn't
going
to
put
you
in
a
position
to
qualitatively
assess
various
options
and
then
to
say.
M
I
think
that
that
that
Colin
set
forth
an
extremely
good
critical
path.
The
devil
is
in
the
details.
You
guys
are
going
to
be
wrestling
with
some
of
those
details
tonight.
These
are
my
thoughts
and
they're.
My
thoughts
only
I
recognize
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I'm,
not
the
principal
in
this
transaction.
The
principals
are
the
town
of
Hilton
Head
in
Beaufort
County,
in
interaction
with
the
D.O.T,
so
but
anything
that
I
can
do.
You
know
to
share
my
thoughts.
M
I
I
set
forth
some
draft
mous
just
simply
to
get
the
ball
rolling
to
look
at
in
terms
of
what
they
might
look
like,
but
any
way
that
I
can
be
of
assistance
to
your
efforts
in
this
regard.
Let
me
know
because
I
have
said
at
the
end
of
the
day
to
continue
the
attorney
analogy.
You're
my
client
and
so
I
advocate
on
your
behalf
of
the
D.O.T
I
advocate
on
your
behalf
to
the
public
at
large,
and
so
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
M
That
I
had
stated
during
that
joint
meeting,
that
there
was
an
importance
to
do
this
independent
end-to-end
simulation
and
that
it
be
important
that
it
be
done
by
a
consultant
that
is
truly
independent,
so
that
you
get
the
best
possible
information
and
there
was
agreement
in
that
regard
with
all
the
Beaver
County
Representatives
that
were
then
in
place,
and
you
know-
and
so
here
we
are
two
or
three
months
later
and
that
hasn't
been
done.
I
can't
speak
to
as
to
why
it
hasn't
been
done.
M
C
Senator
you've
been
an
invaluable
Ally
and
I
sincerely
appreciate
all
that
you've
done
to
try
to
keep
all
of
these
moving
pieces
into
some
coordinated
approach.
It
is
vital
for
us
to
move
forward
with
the
mou
with
the
county
that
cements
the
fact
that
we
are
50
50
Partners
in
moving
this
project
forward.
You
began
that
discussion
and
that
has
been
very
valuable
to
us,
and
that
is
a
key
ingredient
that
I
think
needs
to
be
done
first,
so
that
we've
got
that
locked
down
with
respect
to
the
end-to-end
analysis.
C
I
do
not
believe
that
kimly
horn
is
the
only
one
that's
out
there.
Neither
do
I
believe
that
scdot
has
had
a
relationship
with
all
qualified
Engineers
across
the
country.
That's
just
that's
that's
beyond
belief,
so
I
believe
that
we
should
move
forward
with
an
independent
examination
by
a
consultant
that
we
choose
and
coordinate,
of
course,
with
the
county
moving
forward.
C
The
other
pieces
of
this
seem
to
be
falling
together.
The
concept
of
the
Development
Corporation.
Thank
you
for
securing
those
funds.
That's
amazing!
Five
million
dollars
we
can,
we
can
do
so
much
with
that
and
if
we
get
more
from
the
federal
government,
that's
even
icing
on
the
cake,
that's
terrific
and
again
that's
because
of
your
efforts.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Mr
Stanford.
K
Thank
you,
Senator
Davis.
Your
efforts
here
tonight
very
well
excuse
me
could
have
turned
the
tides
and
where
this
may
have
headed
otherwise,
so
your
efforts
have
not
gone
unappreciated
by
many
of
us
here
and
more
than
8
000
close
to
9
000
people
who
have
signed
a
petition
to
see
this
done
in
this
way.
That's
why
this
is
so
important.
K
Clearly,
it's
not
so
I
hope
that
we
all
agree
here
tonight
that
we
make
every
effort
to
take
the
good
advice
that
we've
been
given
to
listen
to
our
constituents
and
the
residents
of
this
island
and
that
we
do
it
out
of
respect
for
them,
but
also
to
preserve
and
to
protect
Hilton
Head
Island.
If
we
don't
look
carefully
at
what
we're
doing,
we
may
be
in
a
position
where
we
are
taking
our
future
and
making
it
something
that
none
of
us
could
have
ever
dreamed.
K
It
would
be
when
we
moved
here
whenever
that
was
when
we
enjoyed
the
time
that
brought
us
to
the
Asylum.
All
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
moments
ago
and
I
continue
to
talk
about
and
we'll
talk
about
some
more
so
thank
you.
I
appreciate
it
and
I
hope
that
we
all
listen
carefully
tonight
and
agree
that
in
true,
independent
study
needs
to
be
undertaken
and
managed
and
controlled
by
Hilton
Head
Island
for
Hilton
Head
Island.
Thank
you.
F
L
Would
say
somewhere
south
of
800
that
Senator
Davis
had
had
mentioned
the
initial
estimate
on
the
Kimberly
horn,
although
I
don't
think
it
included
necessarily
everything
that
the
scope
of
work
I
think
we
need
to
complete
the
end
on
analysis.
We'll
do
was
around
250.,
so,
let's
say
somewhere
between
250
and
800.
Okay,.
F
F
A
Sure,
well,
we've
been
working
on
this
for
some
time
and
and
my
initial
thoughts
quickly
are
to
Senator
Davis.
Thank
you.
You
know
echo
echo
everything
I'm
hearing,
Senator,
Davis
and
I
talked
while
we
were
all
in
Charleston,
just
kind
of
a
project
update
as
we're
getting
ready
for
tonight.
So
I
I
appreciate
appreciate
the
confidence
he
provides
to
me
in
in
US
thinking,
through
this
scenario
and
and
of
course,
the
same
to
Sean
for
getting
his
arms
around
this
project.
A
You
know
it
was
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
arrived
here
and
asked
asked
about
this
small
little
project
and
since
then
I
think
we've
come
a
long
way.
Your
26
recommendations,
we've
held
firm
on
I,
think
the
the
good
part
is
we're,
probably
we're
trying
to
determine
a
probable
cost
to
them
right.
There's
some
things
of
those
26
recommendations
within
the
project
scope,
some
things
that
are
out
I've
heard
from
Gray
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
people,
this
independent
analysis
and
I'm
all
for
it.
A
I
I
I
come
to
the
conclusion
that
that
our
community
is
split
because
of
a
perception
of
lack
of
data
and
it
in
order
for
us
to
move
forward.
I
think
the
independent
study
makes
sense
and
we
should
move
forward
with
the
independent
study.
But
there's
a
part
of
me
that
continually
asks
the
question:
will
we
ever
satisfy
citizens
who
do
not
agree
with
the
basic
concept
of
expanding
the
bridge
and,
and
my
priority
at
this
time,
is
to
move
forward,
get
the
answers
and
you're
providing
us
a
way
to
do
that.
I
O
O
O
My
name
is
Skip
Hoagland
windmill,
Harbor
I've
lived
here
for
47
years.
Like
many,
we
chose
Hilton
Head
for
the
clean
environment
and
the
Frasier
vision
of
low
density
high-end
retirement
in
terms
of
destination,
not
the
Myrtle,
Beach
and
Charleston
big
city
life
yet
non-stop,
develop
over
development
traffic
never
ends.
O
Selfishness
and
greed
always
finds
an
excuse
to
justify
profit
over
people
and
the
environment,
and
what
we
don't
need
is
more
traffic
on
a
single
Road,
one
Bridge,
all
the
way
to
I-95
this
new
300
million
dollar
bridge
will
mimic
what
a
stint
does
for
your
heart,
yet
will
do
nothing
but
increase
traffic
Island
Wide
along
with
more
runoff
pollution.
That's
already
choking
our
Creeks,
our
Rivers,
our
estuaries
and
polluting
our
oysters.
O
In
just
30
years,
it
took
millions
of
years
to
create
the
powers
that
be
never
had
the
horse
sense
to
develop
a
proper
Hilton,
Head
Master
land
plan
that
would
have
stopped
this,
including
Bluffton,
Beaufort
and
hardyville.
This
would
have
made
living
here
even
more
exclusive
Islands,
simply
can't
open
the
floodgates
to
all
without
a
controlled
and
enforced
Master
land
plan.
O
I
repeat:
we
are
headed
for
10
pounds
in
a
five
pound
bag,
we're
already
at
six
pounds.
In
my
opinion,
I
blame
to
Kick
the
Can
down
the
road
elected
officials
who
haven't
had
it
have
a
clue
on
how
to
balance
responsible
growth
with
maintaining
the
natural
environment
that
Drew
them
here
and
now
they
have
fobed
off
their
responsibility
to
remediate
the
damage
on
the
folks
at
South,
Carolina,
DOT
and
blame
others.
The
traffic
and
over
development
has
already
caused
some
long-time
residents,
businesses
and
tourists
to
leave.
O
We
all
keep
electing
part-time
Mayors,
who
are
Builders
developers,
real
estate
agents,
lawyers
and
incompetent,
big
spender,
big
spender,
retire
Executives,
who
have
mastered
revolving
door;
leadership
positions
that
stroke
their
egos
while
doing
as
much
harm
as
possible
to
what's
want
to
watch.
What
once
was
that
to
what
was
once
a
majestic
landscape.
O
These
same
elected
officials
are
aided
and
abetted
by
unscrupulous
dishonest
lawyers
who
rather
line
their
pockets
by
overcharging
tax,
paid
legal
fees,
Google
Hilton,
Head,
overcharged
legal
fees,
and
these
these
attorneys
have
the
same
horses
in
the
development
races
as
the
elected
officials
creating
huge
conflicts
with
their
real
estate
and
development
clients.
These
unethical
lawyers
include
finger
Coltrane,
Alfred
and
serial
ethics,
violator,
Josh
Gruber,
who
also
have
dishonest
compromised,
and
we
also
have
dishonest
compromised
how
manager
and
CPAs
who
avoid
forensic
audits
that
would
confirm
their
illegal
tax
use
that
we've
identified.
O
This
is
all
legalized,
highway
robbery.
Now,
with
the
mass
Exodus
of
many
people
from
big
cities
to
our
area,
it
will
only
please
cut
that
bill
off
now
with
the
mass
Exodus
of
many
from
big
cities.
Through
our
area,
it
will
only
get
worse
and
assured
that
we
will
have
10
pounds
in
a
five
pound
bag
if
the
master
land
plan,
please
turn
that
Bell
off.
If
the
master
land
plan
is
not
forced
to
stop
traffic
and
the
building
and
development
insanity.
O
P
P
But
what
I've
heard
here
today
from
many
of
you,
it's
been
an
answer
to
prayer
and
I,
just
feel
so
encouraged
about
the
town,
keeping
the
authority
of
this
all-important
project
and
and
what
it
has
as
the
implications
for
you
know,
decades
and
generations
to
come
for
our
entrance
to
our
beautiful
island,
and
it
sounds
like
you
guys,
are
all
getting
on
board
of
keeping
it
a
beautiful
entrance
and
for
that
I
really.
Thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
So
I'm
just
going
to
go
right
to
my
suggestion.
P
My
one
suggestion
would
be:
why
don't
you
and
and
you're
kind
of
doing
this
I
think
but
anyway,
in
coordination
with
Beaufort
County
and
scdot
Implement,
a
state-of-the-art
adaptive
traffic
signal
system
from
Buckwalter
Parkway
to
Coligny
Circle
then
allow
it
to
work
for
several
months
and
collect
data.
That
would
be.
That
could
be
invaluable
to
the
independent
traffic
study.
What
if
the
Adaptive
traffic
signal
system
alone
raised,
Peak
traffic
performance
from
an
F
to
a
c,
where
the
scdot
preferred
alternative
only
raises
it
from
an
F
to
a
d.
P
N
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
Mr,
Town
manager,
council
members,
I
have
just
come
up
in
this
meeting
with
a
new
Battle
Cry
for
the
town
of
Hilton.
This
we
are
the
town
of
Hilton
Head
and
we
are
proud
of
being
here
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
putting
up
with
us
with
all
our
comments.
David
Ames
has
allowed
me
to
to
discuss
things
and
Mark
as
well
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
that.
N
N
I
think
that
the
way
we
approached
it
is
in
the
early
days
was
to
suggest
Alternatives
than
to
inform
stakeholders
and
then
Implement
and
then
install
a
traffic
system
and
see
where
it
goes
wrong
and
I
think
we
really
need
to
turn
that
around
I
think
the
sooner
we
can
get
a
traffic
system
installed
and
I'm
glad
that
all
the
efforts
are
being
made.
The
sooner
we'll
know
where
the
bottlenecks
are
the
sooner
we
can
actually
intelligently
look
at
what
needs
to
be
done,
whether
we
need
six,
eight
Lanes
10
lanes.
N
We
have
then
a
foundation
on
which
we
can
build,
and
so
everybody
wants
to
see
a
good
entrance
into
Hilton
Head,
a
new
technology,
new
methods.
We
are
quite
positive
about
what
it
can
bring
to
the
islands,
but
right
now
we
don't
know,
and
so
the
sooner
that
we
can
get
the
data
from
a
traffic
system-
that's
installed,
24
7,
365
days
a
year.
You
can
change
it
around
to
allow
other
inroads
to
come
into
that
mainstream.
N
Q
Q
Yeah
before
I
start
within
my
time,
I'm
going
to
answer
Mr
ames's
question:
will
we
ever
have
enough
data
when
you
go
to
the
doctor
and
you
get
bad
news,
you
sort
of
bear
it.
If
it's
come
from
a
Mayo,
Clinic
doctor
and
he's
got
or
she's
got
MRIs
and
x-rays.
Your
first
part
of
your
comment
was
correct.
Community
is
split
because
it's
a
profound
lack
of
data
we're
going
to
spend
three
or
four
hundred
million
dollars,
but
the
community.
It's
going
to
be
good
news
and
bad
news,
no
matter
what
we
need.
Q
The
data
I'm
compiling
a
report
card
on
the
278
project
and
its
Dimensions
include
analytic
approach,
transparency,
timeliness,
consultant
experience
and
Independence
County
influence
and
response
to
Citizen
inputs.
Initial
grades
and
preliminary
report
card
are
not
good,
but
you
folks,
here
U7,
can
change
that.
Q
Senator
Davis
has
developed
a
plan
on
how
to
rapidly
accomplish
it,
he's
even
developed
a
statement
of
work.
Why
aren't
we
using
that?
Why
has
it
been
two
or
three
months
now
that
this
has
been
percolating
and
we
don't
have
a
search
for
an
independent
consultant
and
the
preliminary
contract
with
them?
Why
are
we
using
a
pre-chosen
consultant,
whose
background
shows
no
depth
of
experience
in
the
types
of
analyzes
required?
I
spent
about
an
hour
on
the
KH
website
and
I
can't
find
anything.
They've
done,
that's
related
to
what
we're
doing
they
build
things.
Q
They
do
great
construction
projects,
but
I
haven't
seen
any
complex
network
analysis
in
any
of
their
examples.
Same
thing
with
mksk
mksk
has
done
a
tremendous
job,
I,
really
like
the
work
they've
done,
but
they're
beautifying
a
project
whose
overall
traffic
flow
is
unknown,
while
we're
folk.
Why
are
we
focusing
mainly
on
the
mksk
26
they're,
not
equally
on
finding
a
provable
solution
to
our
overall
congestion
problem
from
end
to
end?
Not
just
the
scodt
small
part?
Why
are
we
letting
Beaufort
County
run
the
show
again?
Q
They
show
a
few
signs
of
detailed
knowledge
or
interests
and
there's
a
well-documented
body
of
evidence
of
them.
Hiding
data
and
corrupting
a
fair
process
and
I've
got
written
examples
of
that.
If
you
ever
want
to
see
it
from
Freedom
of
Information,
Act
probes
and
leaked
data,
they
just
want
to
push
a
Brute
Force
plan,
whether
it's
correct
best
for
a
town
or
just
places.
A
better
plan.
Q
I
hope
you've
also
noticed
the
recent
voter
approval
rating
of
the
County
council
person,
who
pushed
their
inadequate
and
unproven
plan
taxpayers,
really
one
of
Mayo
Clinic
type
study
to
find
solutions
to
our
problem.
The
path
has
been
laid
out.
It's
been
paid
for
times
allotted
and
even
a
stapler
work's
been
developed.
Why
are
we
moving
so
slowly
since
I'm
running
out
of
time?
In
my
last
words,
please
do
not
provide
Town
consent
prior
to
seeing
the
independent
consultant's
report.
Please
do
not
provide
Town
consent
before
seeing
that
report.
That's
the.
F
F
Full-Time
residency
is
close
to
40
000,
so
they're
about
30.
Some
odd
thousand
people
missing
today
and
from
the
petition
I
just
encourage
us
to
continue
to
be
transparent,
I
think
the
critical
path
that
our
town
manager
has
laid
out
before
us
is
a
good
one,
one
that
we
obviously
support
and
I
think
the
community
needs
to
know
that.
So
we
need
to
message
that
as
loud
and
as
clear
as
we
can,
with
our
updates,
with
our
news
releases
on
our
Town's
website.
F
As
far
as
this
critical
project
is
concerned,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
are
instilling
confidence
in
the
community
that
we
are
doing
the
best
that
we
can
to
get
this
right
and
that
misinformation
doesn't
have
the
opportunity
to
creep
in
so
I
just
like
to
suggest
that
to
us
moving
forward.
Thank
you.

With
these
little
guys,
a
lot
has
changed
and
some
things
still
remain
the
same.
It's
still
the
best
place
to
have
children
and
families
and
go
out
and
explore,
and
to
be
amazed
about
the
adventures
and
the
creativity
that
this
island
allows
small
children
to
grow
and
to
experience,
and
we
had.
We
had
an
opportunity
with
them
to
our
little
Aussie
who's
three
had
an
opportunity
to
go,
hear
a
terrific
new
band
over
at
Celebration,
Park,
I,
believe
they're
doing
this
every
Thursday
night
or
so
called
the
Tower
of
funk,
and
she
brought
her
Qatar.
K
It's
because
we
want
to
protect
this
island
for
those
who
come
next
and
I.
Thank
you
all
for
helping
us
do
that.
But
take
a
moment
if
you
can
sit
back
clear
your
mind
of
all
of
what's
going
on
in
the
world
and
take
a
fresh
look
at
Hilton
Head.
It's
amazing
out
there
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
Thank.
H
Yeah
soloco
met
June
28th
Tuesday
morning,
and
the
sole
agenda
item
was
the
discussion
among
the
town
managers
and
Eric
Greenway
from
Beaufort
County
Council
of
the
proposed
Regional
Housing
Trust
Fund.
There
has
been
further
discussions
between
Town
manager,
Orlando
and
Eric
Greenway
regarding
those
benefits
anticipated
to
taxpayers
on
Hilton
Head
Island,
which
most
of
you
are
in
an
effort
to
justify
the
expense
or
the
investment
in
a
Regional
Housing
Trust
Fund.
We
are
waiting
to
received
the
proposal
from
from
Beaufort
County,
which
identifies
those
benefits.
H
E
I
H
You
John
the
f.
A
committee
met
this
morning
at
10
o'clock
and
we
are
advancing
a
resolution
on
the
five-year
Consolidated
cdb
G
program,
we're
also
advancing
two
recommendations
to
Town
Council
pertaining
to
impact
fees
from
Beaufort
County,
specifically,
the
transportation
impact
fee
and
the
library
impact
fee
expect
to
see
those
within
the
next
20
or
30
days.
G
G
We
breathe
wide
vegetation
buffers
to
development
and
produce
habitat
for
the
Wildlife,
we're
only
12,
whereas
in
this
game,
so
whereas
parks
and
natural
Recreation
areas
ensure
that
the
beauty
of
our
community
can
provide
a
place
for
the
children
and
adults
to
connect
with
nature
and
whereas
the
House
of
Representatives
has
designated
in
June
July
as
Parks
and
Recreation
month.
Therefore,
I
John,
J
McCann,
mayor
of
town
of
Hilton
Head
by
proclaimed
July
as
Parkland
Recreation
month,
recognition
that
device
from

Thank
you.
Congratulations.
Great

Amount
of

that

cause
the
first

number

is
just
identification
of
the
project.
That's
been
submitted
that
occurred
in
December
I
got
involved
in
March
I've
been
to
the
board
of
directors
at
Indigo,

I've
been
to
the
ARB
at
Indigo,
run
I've
been
to
the
town
here
to
speak
to
people
in
charge.
If
you
look
at
this
map,
you'll
see
the
closest
house
to
the
proposed
site
for
the
pickleball
courts
is
338
feet.

There's
another
article
here
that
shows
that
12
DB
should
be
the
adjustment,
because
of
that.
That's,
according
to
the
American
national
standards,
Institute
I,
measured
average
37
decibels
in
my
backyard.
Yesterday,
then
I
put
it
on
a
chart.
There
are
two
pages
here:
just
identifying
a
study
done
for
a
lawsuit
in
Massachusetts
about
pickleball
courts
that
were
350
feet
away
from
a
spot
where
they
measured
a
53
decibel
line
across
here,
and
here
is
the
37
average.
So
we've
got
a
difference
of
15
decibels.
10
decibels
is
a
sound
energy
10
times
the
lower
amount.
I
E
U
Hello
to
all
of
you,
I
would
like
to
read
this
into
the
record.
It's
addressed
to
all
of
you,
I'm
here
to
state.
In
my
humble
opinion,
we
need
a
police
department
or
a
sheriff
who
is
responsive
and
has
enough
staff
to
cover
our
little
slice
of
paradise.
There
have
been
many
incidents
in
the
past
couple
of
years
that
were
handled
far
from
satisfactorily
or
not
at
all.
I
was
one
of
those
incidents
put
a
senior
citizen
through
what
I
went
through
is
unconscionable.
U
I
was
rear-ended
by
a
drunk
driver.
The
other
driver
stayed
after
he
hit
me
and
showed
me
all
of
his
alcohol
bottles
that
he
had
had
imbibed.
He
waited
10
minutes.
No
one
showed
up.
I
was
on
the
phone
with
9-1-1
the
entire
time,
and
all
the
woman
kept
saying
was
look
at
me.
Don't
look
at
him,
it's
kind
of
funny
to
say
when
you're
on
the
phone
and
very
cold
comfort,
the
entire
chime
that
I
was
there,
the
other
driver
was
trying
to
get
at
me.
U
He
banged
on
my
car
windows,
which
the
9-1-1
operator
heard
he
stood
in
front
of
my
course
so
I
couldn't
leave.
He
tried
all
the
passenger
drawers
and
the
hatch.
No
one
should
have
to
be
alone
on
a
dark
Street
waiting
as
long
as
I
did.
The
timing
was
such
that
as
soon
as
the
major
arrived,
the
driver
had
just
sped
off
approximately
30
to
60
60
seconds
prior
to
her.
U
It
took
a
full
25
minutes
before
an
actual
Deputy
arrived
and
when
I
asked
the
major,
why
are
we
waiting
and
couldn't
she
start
the
paperwork?
Do
you
know
what
she
said
to
me?
She
wasn't
qualified
to
take
an
accident
report.
Now,
if
you
get
to
the
position
of
major
and
you
can
fill
out
an
accident
report,
what
does
that
say.
U
You
can't
be
serious.
The
story
gets
worse.
Trust
me
much
worse
and
I'd
be
happy
to
convey
it
to
any
one
of
you
who
would
like
to
know
and
might
be
interested
as
I've
spoken
with
more
and
more
people
on
this
subject,
I'm
finding
there's
a
lot
more
Happening
Here
than
any
of
us
realize.
I
spoke
to
a
woman's
in
Sea
Pines.
She
had
to
lock
herself
in
her
master
bathroom
for
over
15
minutes
waiting
for
a
deputy
to
arrive
again
cold
comfort.
U
U
U
U
V
K
U
Beginning
of
a
trend,
how
many
guns
have
been
stolen
in
the
past
three
years
out
of
automobiles
here,
I
have
to
say:
I,
don't
think
those
guns
are
leaving
the
area
so
fast
I
think
they
constitute
an
ongoing
threat
and
I
hope.
We
aren't
too
late
in
looking
into
this
issue,
I
feel
as
if
we're
paying
additional
fees
for
policing
over
and
above
the
amount
we
pay
in
real
estate
tax
from
a
surcharge,
the
police
should
have
a
bigger
presidents
on
this
island.
Sadly
they
don't
the
minimal
uptick
in
police
presence.
U
This
spring
was,
in
my
opinion,
due
to
the
sheriff
having
a
Challenger
in
the
primary.
The
fact
that
it's
an
election
year
may
account
for
the
slightly
more
visible
deputies.
We
see
and
I've
been
told.
The
sheriff
has
a
lot
of
swagger.
Well,
all
I
can
say
is
you
can
have
all
the
Swagger
in
the
world,
but
it
doesn't
count
for
a
thing
if
your
residents
don't
feel
safe
and
protected.
U
In
conclusion,
thanks
to
covid
we're
now
seeing
more
tourism
than
we've
ever
seen
before,
with
the
addition
of
approximately
25
000
additional
tourists
a
week
during
this
season
clearly
indicates
the
need
for
more
police
services.
Our
new
town
manager
comes
from
Bluffton.
They
have
a
police
department.
He
should
be
able
to
come
up
with
a
quick
approximation,
of
course,
without
that
much
trouble
if
you've
done
it
in
Bluffton.
This
must
be
addressed
one
way
or
another
and
I.
Thank
you
for
listening.
W
My
name
is
Suzanne
Smith
I
live
in
Port
Royal
Plantation
on
Collins
Point,
Road,
mayor
Town,
Council,
Members
and
town
manager.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak.
This
is
not
in
what
I
originally
wrote,
but
I'm
listening
to
miss
Becker
wanting
to
protect
our
Island
and
our
four-legged
creatures
are
animals
are
fish
Etc.
We
also
need
to
protect
the
residents.
W
Crime
has
been
getting
worse
in
our
little
piece
of
paradise,
and
if
we
don't
keep
it
in
check,
it
will
no
longer
be
the
paradise
that
the
residents
have
been
enjoying
and
some
people
already
feel
like
their
Paradise
has
been
gone.
I
will
also
negatively
impact
our
tourist
industry.
Our
most
recent
shooting
of
a
tourist
in
Celebration
Park
was
kept
off
the
front
page
of
the
newspaper.
Obviously
an
attraction
we
don't
want
to
publicize.
W
As
you
know,
this
isn't
our
only
shooting.
We
have
robberies.
Drug
issues,
vandalism
and
more
people
now
have
a
limited
people.
Most
people
now
know
we
have
a
limited
police
presence
on
the
island,
so
speed
limits
are
rarely
adhered
to
and
running.
Red
lights
has
become
a
sport
when
I
go
through
a
light,
as
it's
turning
I
look
behind
me
just
to
count
how
many
people
have
come
behind
me
and
go
through
the
red
light,
I've
counted
five
and
six
people,
I
say
to
my
husband:
this
is
unbelievable.
W
We've
just
made
it
through
the
light
and
all
these
people
have
gone
through
behind
me.
Many
of
our
vacationers
are
lovely,
but
too
many
have
no
respect
for
the
island
words
residents
with
and
with
little
police
presence
to
keep
them
in
line
I'm,
not
disparaging
the
Beaufort
County
Sheriff's
office.
They
have
an
entire
County
to
cover
and
we
can't
be
their
number
one
priority:
we're
the
only
municipality
in
Beaufort
County
without
their
own
police
force,
and
none
of
the
others
come
close
to
the
number
of
tourists
that
we
receive
every
year.
W
As
you
know,
for
some
time,
I
have
been
requesting
a
cost
analysis
to
have
our
own
Police
Department.
Although
mayor
McCann,
you
told
me
at
one
point,
you
would
do
that.
You
have
since
told
me
it's
too
soon
too
soon
for
what
you
have
sued,
Beaufort
County
over
the
additional
fees
of
our
taxes
for
the
Beaufort
County
Sheriff's
Office,
but
you
don't
know
what
it
would
cost
for
our
own
Force.
Please
do
the
cost
analysis
and
give
the
residents
the
opportunity
to
make
a
choice
as
to
who
we
would
like
to
have
protect
us.
G
R
O
Skip

I
have
questions
anyone
can
understand,
regardless,
if
you're,
honest,
educated
and
competent
crooked
or
corrupt.
Why,
after
being
educated
on
this
atax
issue,
does
council
continue
voting
to
approve
the
illegal
criminal
misuse
of
millions
of
tax
funds
to
the
chamber
and
non-profits?
Why
did
you
vote
in
favor
of
illegal
chamber
a
tax
funding
without
any
valid
contract
oversight,
accounting
and
proven
performance
metrics?
O
This
council
is
also
allowing
the
chamber
to
take
over
a
million
dollars
of
our
tax
funds
to
Canada
to
generate
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
salary
for
Bill
Miles,
a
two
million
dollar
house
in
Indigo
run
from
his
money
laundering.
This
Council
has
allowed
Gruber
and
Orlando
to
use
tax
funds
illegally
to
pay
for
their
own
chamber
memberships,
as
well
as
memberships
for
this.
For
the
elected
officials,
it's
a
quid
pro
quote:
who
were
tax
members?
If
it's
paid
with
tax
monies,
the
town
is
violating
my
foia
to
see
chamber
accounting.
O
Why
does
council
keep
approving
Aid
tax
funds
to
the
illegal
chamber
when
tourism
promotion
is
done
for
free
by
technology,
local
search
and
social
media?
Certainly
you
all
understand
this.
If
you
don't
understand
technology,
you're,
not
qualified
for
public
service,
honest
public
service
is
appreciated,
but
not
dishonest
service.
So
now
I
go
around
the
room
and
ask
for
your
answer:
will
you
fix
this
tax
scam
and
fraud
to
all
taxpayers?
Just
answer
yes
or
no
or
say
nothing
and
admit
guilt?
O
X
Time
manager,
Orlando
and
members
of
the
Town
Council.
First
of
all,
thank
you.
I
know
that
Dr
Gene
Furr
has
been
in
touch
with
your
staff
about
starting
another
oyster
collection,
place
and
you've
been
working
very
kindly
with
her
and
Gene.
Does
a
wonderful
job
with
volunteers
collecting
oysters
over
at
honeyhorn
right
now
and
has
done
a
project
over
at
Harbor
Town,
and
we
have
all
the
projects
lined
up
mainly
with
volunteers.
We
really
appreciate
you
spearheading
that
and
working
on
that
councilmember,
Samford
and
built
recycling.
X
Part
of
the
problem
with
recycling
is
contamination
and
when
they
picked
the
products
up,
if
they're
too
badly
contaminated,
they
won't
take
them,
and
it
varies
between
five
percent
and
20
contamination,
as
we've
indicated
to
you
before,
when
you
recycle
and
you
bring
it
to
the
landfill,
you
pay,
if
you
dump
it
as
trash,
you
pick
up,
they
pick
up
the
fee
automatically.
It
needs
to
be
reversed
and
Alex.
X
They
are
still
checking
the
code
at
the
entrance
and
I
I
know
that
they
say
that
they're
not,
but
they
are,
and
obviously
they're
on
Saturday
and
I
was
checked
right
at
the
gate
and
that
needs
to
change
because
we
need
to
have
everybody
ability
to
recycle
and
we
need
to
educate
people
and
education
is,
is
a
key
to
this
entire
process.
Last
and
the
last
minute,
each
town
and
municipality
has
their
own
corporate
culture
and
their
own
priorities,
and
ours
I
believe,
is
staying
as
close
to
our
constituents
as
possible.
X
Where
else
can
you
come
up
to
complain
about
a
sign
on
your
street
about
the
speed
limit
where
your
police
force
should
be
going
and
items
that
are
seemed
trivial
to
many
others,
but
you
folks
diligently
listen
to
all
the
good
all
the
bad
process
it
and
then
you
use
your
common
sense
to
sort
it
out
and
come
to
a
logical
conclusion
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that
service
and
sitting
here
and
listening
to
myself
and
all
the
others
who
come
before
me.
Congratulations
keep
it
up,
don't
stop!
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

I'm
speaking
solely
for
myself
today.
As
you
know,
I've
announced
that
I'm
going
to
run
for
Town
Council.
This
fall
so
I'm,
just
speaking
with
regard
to
myself
and
e-bikes,
and
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
moving
this
forward.
As
you
know,
I've
long
been
concerned
about
safety
and
health
of
everyone
on
this
island
and
dealing
with
this
issue
is
a
very
tough
issue.
V
There's
there's
a
lot
of
folks
concerned
about
it
and
trying
to
tackle.
It
has
been
very
difficult
under
the
constraints
that
you
have
to
operate

invaluable

Linux,
listening
with
attention
when
I
sent
information
about
the
photos
and
some
of
the
distances
on
the
pathways
