okay,
good
lana,
it
works
in
our
business
license
department
and
she
just
earned
her
accreditation
and
business
licensing
which,
which
is
a
difficult
thing
to
do.
D
D
Chief
todlock,
I
know
you're
here
there
you
are
a
retirement
announcement
and,
and
it's
a
lot
of
mixed
feelings
chief-
keeps
trying
to
convince
me
that
it's
it's
his
time
to
leave
and
I
keep
trying
to
convince
him
how
much
we
need
him.
But
after
eight
years
as
our
fire
chief
chief
tadlock,
has
has
decided
to
retire,
his
last
day
is
october.
D
D
I
miss
the
part
where
you
you've
been
with
us
for
34
years
chief,
you
don't
look
34.
How
did
that?
How
does
that
happen?
So
a
couple
new
teammates
here
at
the
town,
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
great
staff
members
joining.
I
I
see
nick
pay
here
who
works
in
planning.
I
I
do
want
to
share
with
you
today
a
few
senior
staff
members
matt
defford.
I
saw
mack
it's
a
snazzy
suit
in
the
back
room.
D
He
he
recently
joined
us
from
mount
pleasant,
as
the
associate
general
counsel
and
and
mack
is
here
with
us,
as
the
staff
attorney
general
counsel
with
us.
Mack
will
work
very
closely
with
curtis
coltrane,
his
office,
josh
and
and
all
of
us,
as
we
work
to
accomplish
those
elements
of
the
strategic
plan.
D
D
He's
got
considerable
experience
in
the
technology
field
and,
most
recently
he
was
the
chief
technology
officer
for
the
town
of
bluffton,
he's
been
with
beaufort
county
school
district
and
the
rutherford
regional
health
system
and
hit
the
ground
running,
especially
when
our
wi-fi
went
down
today
and
tom
and
his
team
quickly
found
out
what
the
problem
was
so
good
job
tom,
and
that
was
you
passed
the
first
test
and,
and
last
but
not
least,
mr
bob
bromage,
director
of
public
safety.
We've
been
talking
about.
D
We've
been
talking
about
bringing
on
on
board
a
director
of
public
safety
for
some
time
we
talked
a
lot
about
it
at
budget.
We
talked
a
lot
about
it
as
we,
we
worked
on
our
short-term
rental
program,
our
community
safety
code
enforcement
program,
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
have
bob
here
with
me
and
with
us
more
than
31
years
of
law
enforcement.
D
D
G
Yes,
sir,
I
know
you've
got
a
lot
of
things
to
attend
to
a
lot
of
people
interested
in
something
other
than
a
dull
report
from
me.
So
I'll
try
to
be
brief.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
other
board
members
who
served
with
me.
I
saw
dr
anna
ponder
I'm
in
the
parking
lot
she
serves
as
our
vice
chair,
also
charlie,
walczak,
bob
johnson,
david
fingerhunt,
peter
christian,
and
our
new
member
kay
bayless.
G
G
I
also
want
to
thank
some
town
staff,
especially
I
know
missy
lueck
is
here
in
the
audience,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
she
did
with
us,
as
well
as
teresa
haley,
who
was
our
board
secretary.
They
both
got
well-deserved
promotions
and
we
congratulate
them
and
wish
them
well.
We
miss
them
and
we
thank
them
for
their
service
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
the
town
manager
and
his
staff
as
we
serve
as
your
board
of
zoning
appeals.
G
G
So
thank
you
to
the
public
planning
committee
for
moving
those
amendments
along.
I
also
want
to
again
thank
ms
lueck
and
also
the
town
manager
for
helping
us
move
along
amendments
to
our
rules
of
procedure,
which
greatly
affect
our
hearing
process,
welcome
amendments,
and
I
think
they
will
serve
the
board
well
in
future
years,
but
we
also
enjoy
a
policy
of
continuous
improvement.
D
Thank
you,
ma'am
and
then,
lastly,
miss
angie,
stone
who's,
our
assistant
town
manager
and
heads
up
our
communications
program
to
provide
a
brief
update
on
on
things
that
we're
doing
to
get
our
message
out
and
and
connect
better
and
be
more
involved
in
the
community.
So
you
know,
arguably,
this
is
communicating
about
communicating.
So
thank
you.
H
H
So,
first,
yes,
okay,
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
something
that
we
did,
that
really
flows
across
all
of
our
communication
efforts
and
that
is
to
enhance
our
ability
to
communicate
with
everyone,
regardless
of
language
spoken,
regardless
of
ability
to
speak
or
hear
at
all.
We
implemented
interpretation
services
this
year.
H
They
are
available
to
all
of
our
staff
in
the
field
in
the
office
and
provide
us
ability
to
communicate
in
over
240
languages,
including
american
sign
language,
and
we've
only
had
this
in
place
for
a
very
short
period,
but
we've
already
utilized
it
across
several
departments
and
have
utilized
spanish,
arabic
and
mandarin,
and
this
has
enabled
us
to
be
able
to
communicate
at
the
time
of
contact
with
someone
instead
of
having
to
try
to
come
back
later,
when
someone
was
available
to
speak
to
us
in
english.
So
this
has
been
tremendously
helpful
to
us.
H
In
addition
to
our
interpretation
services,
we
have
begun
translating
much
more
to
spanish
than
we
than
we
have
before.
We've
also
implemented,
google
translate
on
our
website
to
ensure
that
people
have
access
to
our
web
information
in
all
languages
and
have
created
a
mini
spanish
site
that
will
allow
folks
to
get
information
that
is
directly
translated
to
spanish,
where
there
is
code
or
emergency
service
implications.
H
So
our
website
statistics,
you
may
remember,
we
launched
a
brand
new
refreshed
mobile-friendly
site
last
year
and
what
we
have
found
is
that
most
of
our
traffic
is
coming
through
on
mobile
devices.
So
we
made
a
very
good
move
last
year
when
we
did
this,
we
had
over
2
million
visitors
in
the
last
year.
H
Lots
of
information
is
being
accessed.
This
way,
we've
got
all
departments
participating
in
this,
so
we're
collaborating
across
the
organization.
Our
I.t
group,
our
technology
and
innovation
group
supports
us
a
great
deal
with
gis
information
making
bringing
the
stories
to
life
with
maps.
So
we've
got
a
great
team
across
the
organization.
That's
helping
with
these
efforts
to
communicate
the
you
can
see
here.
What
the
the
highest
hits
are
on
our
pages,
most
of
it
town,
council,
covert
information,
public
parks
and
pathways,
and
also
our
permits
and
licensing.
H
This
is
website
traffic
for
our
mini
spanish
site
again.
This
has
only
been
in
place
for
a
short
period
of
time,
but
we've
already
had
a
good
number
of
visitors,
and
one
of
the
things
that
struck
me
is
one
of
the
the
highest
hits.
There
is
on
the
contact
us
page,
so
we've
got
people
who
are
now
able
to
access
information
on
how
to
contact
us
much
more
easily.
H
We
also
have
posters
and
placards
in
all
of
our
lobbies
that
let
folks
know
that
interpretation
services
are
available,
we're
going
to
do
a
an
envelope
stuffer
to
send
out
with
business
licenses
and
other
communications.
That
again
lets
folks
know
that
translation
and
interpretation
services
are
available.
H
So
we've
we've
made
efforts
across
all
of
our
platforms
to
modernize
our
communications
without
losing
touch
with
folks
who
prefer
traditional
communication
methods.
Our
social
media
has
grown
tremendously.
Over
the
last
year,
we
have
grown
our
audience
to
over
63
000
folks,
we've
got
tons
of
people
who
are
interacting
with
us
and
some
of
that
engagement
or
that
growth
is
due
to
kelly
spinella's
diligence
in
responding
to
and
acknowledging
comments
and
really
creating
that
rapport
with
our
with
our
fans.
Our
followers.
H
Email
marketing-
this
is
really
more
our
traditional
gov
delivery.
So
folks
can
come
to
our
website
and
sign
up
for
topics
that
they're
interested
in
to
receive
our
news
releases
to
receive
information
on
very
specific
topics.
We've
got
a
huge
following
here:
we've
got
31
000
subscribers
and
we've
grown
that
by
11.
In
this
last
year
we
send
out
about
400
bulletins
a
year
and
we
have
a
huge
open
rate.
H
So
we've
got
folks
who
are
who
are
signed
up
and
who
are
accessing
the
information
when
it
comes
into
their
inboxes
additional,
more
traditional
methods
of
communication.
We
have
a
variety
of
campaigns
and
collateral
that
we've
been
involved
in
developing.
You
may
recognize
some
of
this.
The
redistricting
effort
covered
19,
short-term
rentals.
H
All
of
these
all
these
initiatives
that
the
town
took
part
in
the
communications
team
worked
closely
with
those
departments
to
develop
collateral
that
could
be
passed
out
door,
hangers
information
again
in
english
and
spanish,
to
ensure
that
folks
who
need
the
information
are
able
to
access
it.
We've
even
done
we've
gone
back
to
the
real
basics,
carolyn,
and
I
showed
up
at
the
sandalwood
food
pantry
one
morning
and
handed
out
brochures
on
the
home
repair
and
sewer
connection.
H
We
had
two
or
three
people
come
in
that
day
and
the
next
day
with
applications,
so
we're
hitting
every
avenue
we
can
to
ensure
that
we're
getting
the
message
out
there,
media
and
interviews
carolyn
also
reaches
out
to
her
contacts
throughout
the
area
and
pitches
stories
about
our
initiatives.
We've
had
tons
of
folks
do
interviews
and
we've
been
mentioned
in
quite
a
few
publications
throughout
the
year.
H
C
H
C
Well,
you
got
the
internet
going
today,
so
I'm
sure
you
can
cover
that.
It's
I
think
communication
is
the
key,
and
now
that
we
are
pushing
a
lot
of
work
downstream,
planning,
commission
and
et
cetera
and
staff
is,
is
intimately
involved
in
those
discussions.
I
think
it
will
help
community
members
with
getting
real
information
versus
misinformation,
so
the
sooner
the
better
we
get
that
part
done
where
the
community
can
engage
with
our
boards
and
commissions.
I
think
the
better
off
will
be
so.
Thank
you
again
for
your
efforts
and
your
report
today.
H
A
A
C
C

C

I
I
Improvement
project
is
a
way
is
on
hold
weighting,
the
end-to-end
analysis
being
conducted
separately
by
the
town
by
our
independent
contractor,
then,
as
a
result
of
the
26
recommendations
that
were
made
by
town
council,
d.o.t
reported
that
most
of
those
have
been
accepted
and
will
be
incorporated
into
the
project,
including
a
revised
intersection
design
at
squire,
pope
and
chamberlain
drive.
That's
where
there
will
be
now
two
turn
lanes
rather
than
that
u-turn
lane.
I
That
was
originally
proposed,
a
revised
intersection
design
for
spanish
wells
and
wild
horse
road
introduction
of
11-foot
interior
through
lanes
through
within
the
stony
community
to
minimize
some
of
the
impact
that
is
going
on
there.
A
meandering
of
the
278
westbound
lanes
through
jenkins
island
to
improve
the
carter
feel
as
you're
going
through
there,
two
bump
out
pedestrian
overlooks
were
proposed
for
inclusion
in
the
bridge
design.
I
So
there
would
be
viewing
platforms
out
there
on
the
proposed
new
bridge
structures
that
would
be
going
in
there
and
finally-
and
I
think,
maybe
of
most
current
interest
to
this
community,
there
will
be
a
repaving
from
yacht
cove
down
to
arrow
road.
They
anticipate
letting
the
contract
in
september
that
road
desperately
needs
to
be
repaved.
I
That
is
a
state
highway.
It
is
not
the
town's
responsibility.
We've
been
putting
pressure
on
d.o.t
about
that,
so
that
road
that
desperately
needs
to
be
repaved
is
going
to
be.
That
is
going
to
be
done.
That's
a
5.2
million
dollar
project,
so
there
are
good
things
going
on
with
our
transportation
needs.
Mr
mayor,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Our
our

hilton
head
with
authorizing
the
implementation

gullah
history

education

the
town,
and
the
anecdotal
comment
was
was
that
permeated
the
discussion
was
that
with
further
education,
we
have
can
have
a
greater
understanding
and
respect
for
all
of
our
neighbors
on
the
island,
and
there
was
a
genuine
interest
in
advancing
this
to

council
with
the
recommendation
of

full
support.
A
L
Thank
you

parking
management
services.

M
We

Lots
of
seeds

planting
for
years

N
N
N
She
has
been
an
advocate
for
our
interests
and
our
efforts
from
day
one
having
had
the
chance
to
hear
some
of
what
she
wanted
to
do
to
enhance
the
appeal
of
our
neighborhoods
has
become
nothing
more
than
a
deferred
dream
in
the
pursuit
of
a
replacement.
Let
us
not
find
someone
that
simply
goes
along
to
get
along,
as
this
would
be
a
complete
embarrassment
to
the
leadership
jen
brought
to
this
position.
N
At
the
end
of
last
year,
jim
mcewen
and
the
office
of
cultural
affairs
proposed
an
educational
program
for
the
community
on
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
That
program
was
met
with
a
lot
of
oppositions
and
questions.
We
are
grateful
for
their
efforts.
In
continuing
this
conversation,
it
is
quite
disturbing
to
hear
that
jen
and
other
people
in
our
community
experience
and
threats
for
opening
the
subject
of
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
N
N
How
do
we
thank
someone
for
being
an
ally,
someone
who
stood
by
when
who
was
someone
who
stood
by
you
when
it
was
not
politically
or
professionally
expedient
to
do
so?
Someone
who
fearlessly
spoke
the
hard
truths
when
honesty
was
unpopular
and
unwelcome
someone
who
refused
to
be
silenced
or
turned
away
from
her
friends,
someone
who
lived
her
values
and
helped
us
clarify
our
own
someone
who
was
always
willing
to
speak
truth
to
power,
regardless
of
the
cost.
Jen
was
all
of
this.
Her
advocacy
was
powerful.
N
She
made
a
difference
that
will
impact
our
community
long
after
she's
gone
the
land
and
cultural
preservation
task
force
has
worked
on
a
program
for
town
officials
and
staff
to
educate
them
on
the
history
of
our
gologici
culture.
This
is
a
rich
and
essential
part
of
our
history
here
for
all
citizens
and
visitors
alike.
N
I
encourage
the
leadership
of
the
town
council
and
members
of
our
community
to
continue
the
work
of
this
strategic
plan
as
we
strive
to
create
a
theme
of
one
island,
one
community
respectfully
submitted
levine
stevens
chair,
the
town
of
hilton
head
island,
land
and
cultural
preservation,
task
force
and
the
hilton

group.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
O
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
Mr
mayor,
mr
orlando
and
council
members,
the
oca
was
created
to
serve
and
grow
the
arts
and
cultural
assets
of
the
island.
I'm
concerned
that
our
first
director
of
the
office
of
cultural
affairs
was
run
out
of
town
by
a
town
council
member,
while
the
arts
and
cultural
groups
of
hilton
head
are
currently
concerned
about.
The
future
of
this
office.
O
Councilwoman
becker
is
celebrating
at
the
fact
that
a
town
employee
left
her
job
and
moved
to
a
whole
different
state
because
she
felt
unsafe
for
her
family
in
our
community
due
to
the
animosity
created
by
the
councilwoman's,
irresponsible
dissemination
of
an
edi
training
video.
This
is
reprehensible,
especially
since
the
edi
training
is
something
that
you
must
have
to
apply
for
most
grants
and
sponsorships,
and
not
just
for
the
arts,
but
for
any
non-profit.
O
Edi
training
is
required
to
work
on
wall
street
even
walmart
requires
edi,
yet
councilwoman
becker
is
fighting
it
for
town
staff
and
the
community
at
large.
Even
though
she
claims
to
be
an
educator,
this
council
should
be
ashamed
of
the
way
a
town,
employee
and
residents
were
targeted.
It
is
unacceptable
to
have
them
called
out,
by
name
in
an
extremist
and
antagonistic
environment
by
councilwoman
becker
at
contentious
political
rallies
and
have
councilman
harkins
and
stanford
support
her
so
openly.
O
As
a
sad
moment
for
this
community
town
council
spent
one
million
dollars
after
feeling,
unsafe
from
one
meeting
closed
town
hall
for
months
and
still
limits
capacity.
What
was
done
to
help
this
employee,
who
was
simply
doing
their
job
after
a
council
person
ignited
an
extremist
fire
against
them
openly
and
in
public.
O
There
is
a
disconnect
between
the
cultural
community
of
this
island
and
some
on
this
council.
It's
a
growing
industry
that
contributes
40
million
dollars
to
local
economy
annually,
creates
jobs
and
drives
tourism
and
quality
of
life
beyond
measure.
What
we
do
will
not
always
fit
your
agenda.
Ms
becker,
I
know
many
of
you
love
the
economic
impact
and
community
cohesion
created
by
the
lantern
parade
and
other
cultural
events,
but
there
is
a
great
deal
of
organizing
and
collaboration
that
goes
into
creating
these
events,
and
the
oca
is
essential
for
that.
O
O
Councilwoman
becca,
you
claim
to
be
a
supporter
of
the
local
arts
community,
although
I'm
only
speaking
for
myself,
I
can't
think
of
a
single
organization
that
believes
this
of
you.
You
bill
yourself
as
a
strong
leader.
Yet
continually
are
divisive,
disruptive
and
uncooperative,
while
the
oca
and
golighty
task
force
seek
to
build
a
more
inclusive,
economically
dynamic
and
enlightened
community.
You
seem
to
be
interested
in
tearing
those
efforts
apart.
A
J
Typically,
I
don't
respond,
however,
when
there
is
such
a
litany
of
accusations,
unwarranted
and
unfounded,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
say
those
words
unwarranted
and
unfounded.
I
can
tell
you
that,
with
great
respect
for
the
arts
community
and
many
friends
within
that
community,
I
have
tremendous
amount
of
support
there
as
well.
In
addition
to
that,
miss
mcewen's
work
here
in
the
isle
on
the
island
at
the
town
brought
us
incredible
events.
P
Then
the
other
issue
is
the
formation
of
a
technical
working
group
which
will,
I
believe,
will
also
add
to
the
overall
outcome
of
of
the
corridor
project.
It
should
consist
of
the
town,
county
and
residential
participants
and
really
serve
the
community
in
a
better
way.
That
way,
the
idea
behind
the
technical
working
group
is
to
have
people
in
that
group.
That
can
add
that
have
a
technical
value
add
to
the
whole
process.
P
I've
communicated
with
councilman
ames
on
the
importance
of
the
island's
resilience
to
climate
change
and
the
resulting
increase
in
sea
level
in
precipitation
and
into
storm
systems.
It's
something
we
don't
see
immediately,
but
if
it
happens,
we
need
to
be
adequately
prepared
for
that.
So
we've
taken
the
initiative
to
plan
a
symposium
on
resilience
in
march
of
2023
and
would
look
at
the
town
of
hilton
head
to
be
the
key
sponsor
of
that
event.
P
We
would
like
hilton
head
island
to
be
the
leading
light
to
other
barrier
islands
in
south
carolina
on
this
important
issue
and
look
forward
to
your
guidance
on
this
and
in
this
process
we've
also
approached
parents.
Islands,
mr
steven
woodall,
who's
in
the
audience
is
the
as
a
retired
navy,
u.s
navy
captain
who
has
made
the
link
to
paris,
islands
and
combining
federal
elements
to
our
hilton
head.
I
think,
will
increase
our
success
for
overall
funding
of
infrastructure,
that
is
to
be
possibly
need
to
be
put
in
place.
Thank
you.
I.
A
Q
Thank
you,
council
and
staff.
Thank
you
especially
for
the
draft
mou
and
statement
of
work
that
you
sent
us
last
friday.
After
our
past
experience
with
the
county
on
this
project.
Our
tactical
working
group
now
representing
close
to
nine
thousand
petition
siders,
is
extremely
gun,
shy
about
loopholes
and
imprecise
wording
in
the
statement
of
work.
That
would
once
again
cause
misdirection
of
the
work
as
it
did
in
two
thousand
twenty.
Q
Hence
we
suggest
the
following
editions
and
I've
sent
a
list
to
miss
wittemeier
additions
and
changes
to
the
town
statement
of
work
to
ensure
that
the
independent
review
does
not
lose
its
focus
and
produces
the
data
intended,
including
fair
and
accurate,
planned
comparisons
and
exposure
of
missing
and
hidden
parts,
and
especially
potential
new
ideas
that
existing
consultant
may
have
missed.
And
again
I
want
to
reiterate
I'm
very
impressed
with
mksk's
work,
but
they
stopped
at
spanish
wells
road
and
dealt
mainly
with
beautification
issues
and
our
traffic
issues.
Q
These
words
are
not
new
most
that
I've
provided
here
today
are
a
topical
grouping
of
the
words
that
my
technical
working
group
colleagues
have
sent
you
earlier
today
and
of
critical
parts
from
the
original
sao
statement
of
work
that
were
left
out
or
understated
in
the
town's
new
statement
of
work.
So
essentially,
we've
provided
an
analysis
of
the
gap
between
the
new
statement
of
work
and
the
old
statement
of
work.
Q
Q
A
S
S
My
name
is
skip
hoagland
windmill,
harbor
you're,
in
violation
of
foia.
How
much
more
corruption
can
taxpayers
stand
from
this
council?
It's
so
bad.
It's
become
an
embarrassment.
This
entire
council
just
keeps
voting
and
rubber
stamping
tax
money
to
be
illegally
and
even
criminally,
issued
and
misused
by
not
just
our
non-profit
chamber
but
others.
This
is
not
funny
money
or
monopoly
lawyer
gruber
just
found
guilty
of
three
ethics
violations
and
he's
still
employed.
S
Harkins
lennox
mccann
all
committed
fraud
and
lied,
saying
they
saw
the
legal
chamber
of
tax
accounting
lawyers
coltrane
and
gruber
committed
fraud
and
scheme,
the
legal
tax-funded
chamber
contract
with
no
accounting
provisions
with
lennox
and
ames
drafted
by
the
by
the
bluffton
lawyer,
terry
finger.
Yes,
all
taxpayers
got
the
middle
finger.
S
Miss
becker
voted
for
chamber
tax
theft.
I
want
to
know
why
you
did
that
mr
brown,
I'm
not
going
to
make
a
comment
about
you,
cpa,
john
troyer.
Orlando
have
hired
a
town
audit.
They
call
a
positive
external
audit
report
done
by
green
finney
firm.
This
audit
is
a
fraud
and
it's
not
a
tax.
It's
not
an
audit
that
taxpayers
can
trust.
S
I
called
green
finney
and
asked
them
do
they
agree
with
me
that
this
was
just
an
audit
of
numbers
that
john
troyer
cpa
handed
them
and
would
not
catch
crimes
committed
by
town
insiders.
They
agreed
only
an
external
independent
forensic
audit
could
assure
taxpayers
no
insider
corruption,
cheating
waste,
embezzlement,
fraud,
kickbacks,
payoffs,
etc.
S
S
How
do
we
trust
a
hired
audit
when
all
officials
who
control
millions
of
our
tax
funds
have
been
caught
committing
corruption?
It's
time
to
clean
this
house,
mr
lennox?
As
a
past
banker,
will
you
agree
to
a
forensic
audit
today
right
now?
If
not,
why
not
respond
to
everybody
in
this
room?
That's
what
I
thought
lennox
you
mccann
harkins
will
lead
this
council
soon
disgraced.
S
S
B
U
U
U
This
is
the
watchdog
citizen
of
the
year
award
and
we
we
actually
gave
one
at
the
bluffton
and
we're
also
going
to
give
one
here
because
skip
deserves
it.
This
is
a
gorgeous
award
that
jack
back
there
is
the
artist
of
I'll
show
you
the
award.
Okay,
that
skip
is
getting
and
I'd
like
to
read
it.
It
says:
identifying
corruption
in
the
palmetto
state,
first
amendment
freedom
of
speech,
which
is
not
really
allowed
here.
U
Most
of
the
time
I
came
here,
new
I've
only
been
here
a
year
and
a
half
and
the
few
times
I've
been
here.
It
has
been
unbelievably
rude
by
this
council,
and
so
I
I
just
the
way
you
treat
people,
especially
people,
new,
the
southern
hospitality.
It's
nothing!
There's
enough,
no,
I
better
go
back
to
california.
I
thought
that
was
a
blue
state,
but
they
are
nicer
to
us
there
than
they
are
here.
U
I'll
tell
you
that
this
is
the
second
amendment
right
to
bear
arms
and
forbidden
scwatchdog.com,
and
I
want
to
read
this
one
man:
a
passion
can
accomplish
more
than
one
million
with
just
a
passing
interest.
There
are
three
classes
of
people,
those
who
see
those
who
see
when
they
are
shown.
Those
who
do
not
see
that's
by
leonardo
da
vinci
in
1484
people
need
dramatic
examples
to
shake
them
out
of
their
apathy
and
their
dishonesty.
J
J
Now,
while
I
understand
that
and
we're
looking
for
ways
to
provide
some
safety
and
to
control
some
of
the
overcrowded
aspects
of
our
pathways
with
e-bikes,
regular
bikes,
carts,
segways
one-wheelers
and
you
name
it,
the
issue
that
I
have
with
this
ordinance
is
that
it
only
said
segments
out
one
portion
of
the
e-bike
population
of
users.
It
focuses
solely
on
the
businesses
that
are
renting,
e-bikes
and
requiring
them
to
put
on
regulators
to
control
their
speeds.
J
That
does
nothing
to
do
with
providing
safety
on
our
pathways.
With
regard
to
the
ease,
when
you
think
about
that,
you've
done
two
things.
You've
left
out
those
folks
who
own
their
own
e-bikes
here
on
the
island
and
those
folks
who
bring
their
e-bikes
on
to
the
island
to
use
on
our
pathways
and
nothing
regulates
those
e-bikes.
J
So
there's
that
and
then
there's
this
second
part.
That
is
really
needs
to
be
considered
because
of
that.
We
have
now
limited
our
commerce,
our
businesses
on
the
island,
from
fully
being
able
to
use
their
products
and
to
me,
if
you're,
going
to
make
a
regulation-
and
I
am
not
the
world's
biggest
regulator-
be
honest
with
you.
I
think
folks
may
know
that
about
me.
J
But
if
we're
going
to
have
a
regulation,
then
it
sure
needs
to
apply
aid
to
everybody
and
it
needs
to
be
productive
in
terms
of
its
goal.
If
you
have
a
problem-
and
you
want
to
have
a
solution,
then
you
have
to
attend
to
the
details
and
within
the
details,
are
the
devil
and
then
this
one
I've
just
stated
clearly
why
I
cannot
support
this,
and
I
don't
know
why
anyone
up
here
can
so
passing
this
regulation
on
to
the
second
reading,
and
here
tonight
will
do
nothing
more
than
hamstring.
A
V
Steve
mueller
10,
south
forest
beach
and
and
I'm
I'm
a
little
late
to
this
discussion
because
I
read
it
in
the
paper,
but
I'm
on
the
bypass
every
day
of
my
life
for
the
past
three
and
a
half
years
and
when
I
read
about
electric
bikes
can
go
up
to
almost
30
miles
an
hour
and,
and
I
see
daily,
the
families
right
across
the
street
from
the
beach
who
sometimes
don't
know
which
way
the
beach
is.
There's
lots
of
confusion
in
the
children
and
the
elderly
people.
V
H
V
And
I
wrote
to
a
council
member
to
try
to
understand
what
the
reason
was
why
they
was.
You
would
support
such
a
thing.
I
never
got
an
answer
back,
so
I
was
trying
to
find
out
tonight
why
y'all
would
do
such
a
crazy
sort
of
thing,
particularly
in
that
aspect.
So
it
seems
to
me
that
it's
just
not
nuanced.
V
When
you're
talking
about
publicly
owned
bypass,
my
understanding
is
they're
not
going
to
be
allowed
in
the
gated
community,
so
the
beach
is
great.
You
got
about
five
or
six
miles
of
pathways,
but
when
you
talk
about
pope
and
north
and
south
forest
beach,
where
the
preponderance
or
tourists
and
families
and
curves,
and
if
you
try
to
talk
about
education,
people
who
are
in
here
for
the
weekend
or
the
week,
I
mean
it's
just
to
me.
I
don't
have
your
insight
into
why
you
would
support
it.
V
I
see
every
day,
tragic
things
that
happen
and
potential,
and
I
see
baby
carriages
and
young
people
and
bicycles,
and
now
I'm
seeing
these
e-bikes
with
these
big
tires,
and
you
know
they're
going
to
continue
to
evolve
and
all
I
can
picture
is
coming
around
the
curve
and
seeing
six
of
them
barreling
down
coming
around
the
corner.
It's
just
kind
of
scary
to
me,
but,
like
I
said,
I'm
sure
you
have
a
lot
more
wisdom
about
this
than
me.
V
W
W
Just
can't
go
faster.
I
don't
care
if
you're
on
a
bike
but
it'd
be
20
miles
an
hour
15
miles
an
hour,
but
certainly
the
bikes
that
come
up
on
the
path
and
go
along
with
20
or
30
miles
an
hour
on
these
windy
roads,
roundy,
walk
paths,
you
don't
even
see
them
coming.
I
mean
it's
even
a
challenge
on
a
bike
to
watch
out
for
walkers.
Dare
I
say
it's
a
walking
path
to
begin
with
just
an
idea.
R
Mayor
council,
my
name
is
jim
stevenson
and
live
on
the
island.
My
wife
and
I
have
e-bikes-
I
broke
my
back
two
years
ago
and
I'm
one
of
those
guys
that
have
the
fat
tires
on
the
e-bike
and
we
love
to
take
our
bikes
out,
and
I
just
I
just
fought
cancer
here
recently.
So
I'm
gonna
get
back
on
the
bike
here
soon,
but
I'm
not
one
of
these
believers
in
laws
and
restrictions
and
all
these
things
coming
in
because
who's
going
to
enforce
it.
R
R
Crimes
with
guns
by
adding
more
laws,
you're
not
going
to
do
that,
you
have
to
expect
people
to
be
responsible,
caring
people
that
are
out
there,
and
you
know
what
you're
going
to
run
into
people
that
aren't
and
things
are
going
to
happen.
And
what
are
you
going
to
do
when
you
put
all
the
e-bikes
onto
the
road?
Now
you
got
cars
with
the
e-bikes
and
issues
with
that
you
know.
R
Oh,
oh,
we
need
more
laws
and
more
of
this
and
more
that
and
I'm
just
you
know,
we
need
to
be
careful
how
many
laws
we're
going
to
throw
out
there
in
a
community
and
because
you
got
the
enforcement
issue.
How
are
you
going
to
do
that?
Put
a
cop
on
every
corner,
you
know,
and
so
that's
all
I
have
to
say
about
that.
I
just
y'all
need
to
think
about
all
of
this
and
how
you're
gonna
enforce
it.
Laws
aren't
gonna
solve
your
problem.
T
T
The
way
I
read
it,
it
simply
requires
the
businesses,
the
rental
companies,
to
put
a
sticker
on
a
bike
and
hand
out
a
pamphlet
that
asks
for
etiquette
on
the
roads.
I
asked
you
guys
you
all
last
time
you
drove
down
278
how
many
bikes
just
pedal
bikes.
Did
you
see
stop
at
each
intersection
where
the
octagonal
sign
is?
If
you
got
a
handful
in
a
week,
you'd
be
lucky
that
just
doesn't
happen
anymore.
T
The
mass
of
these
bikes,
adding
the
weight
of
the
people
at
the
speed
they're
going
increases
proportionately
for
the
force
on
an
impact
and
without
providing
some
limit
to
one
of
those
three
factors
force
master
acceleration.
All
we're
doing
is
asking
for
injuries
that
are
going
to
happen.
They
will
happen.
It's
just
a
given
fact.
Enforcement,
as
the
other
gentleman
mentioned,
is
basically
non-existent.
I
mean
it's
a
statistical
improbability
that
an
enforcement
officer
is
at
an
intersection
at
the
time.
Somebody
goes
through
an
intersection
and
doesn't
stop
on
a
bicycle,
let
alone
walking.
T
The
walkers
are
better
and
joggers
are
better
than
a
bicyclist.
So
I'm
asking
you
all
to
reconsider
this
ordinance
as
it's
currently
written
to
take
into
account
some
measure
of
increasing
the
safety,
because
that's
what
this
is
all
about,
without
impinging
on
the
amenities
for
visitors
without
causing
undue
necessary
activity
on
the
part
of
the
businesses.
Some
of
the
businesses
went
out
and
bought
bikes
a
year
two
years
ago,
e-bikes
they
made
a
decision
what
kind
of
bike?
T
T
Last
time
I
was
on
a
beat
a
beach
here.
Two
weeks
ago,
high
tide,
everybody
squeezed
up
two
sets
of
two
e-bikers
came
rolling
through
at
more
than
12
miles
an
hour.
They
had
to
veer
through
one
of
those
canopies
that
people
sit
under
with
half
a
dozen
people
in
order
to
miss
some
kids
that
were
sitting
on
the
beach
following
another
set
of
people
came
through
and
they
look
like
a
snake
going
through
the
people
sitting
on
the
beach.
T
I
We
are
not
going
to
ban
bicycles
on
our
pathways
in
this
town,
so
we
can't
ban
e-bikes.
I
wish
we
could.
I
disagree
with
the
state
law,
but
that's
the
trap
that
we
find
ourselves
in.
That
is
the
reason
that
this
ordinance
has
been
drafted
and
that's
the
reason
behind
the
whole
idea.
Thank
you.
Timmy.
J
J
A
K
We
talked
a
lot
about
trying
to
regulate
speed
and
that
was
certainly
resisted
by
manufacturers
and
renters
of
e-bikes
to
to
do
anything
to
the
bike
itself.
To
prohibit
speeds
beyond
12
miles
an
hour
would
in
essence,
invalidate
the
warranty.
So
this
this
ordinance,
I
think,
represents
a
logical
and
viable
first
step,
and
I
assure
you
if
it
doesn't
work,
there'll,
be
a
step.
K
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
I'll.
Go
back
to
communication
is
the
key.
I
would
encourage
all
citizens
to
stay
involved
on
this
particular
topic.
Resting
assured
that
tonight's
vote
is
not
the
end
all
when
it
comes
to
safety
on
our
pathways.
Our
town
manager
has
been
diligent
about
taking
notes.
His
staff
has
done
the
same.
We've
had
lots
of
discussions
at
a
committee
level
about
what
we
can
do
differently
on
our
pathways
to
make
them
safer,
much
of
which
will
be
capital
expenses
on
our
part,
so
more
to
come
on.
A
I
A
X
On
may
13th
of
this
year,
hud
issued
a
announcement
of
a
real
location
to
the
town
of
cdbg
cv
funds
in
the
amount
of
approximately
a
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars.
These
funds
became
available
when
other
cdbg
grantees
did
not
apply
for
or
they
declined
their
awards.
So
the
reallocated
funds
were
made
available
to
grantees.
X
X
2020
funds,
the
regular
cdbg
funds
that
amount
did
not
change
the
allocation
was
was
still
the
same,
and
by
conducting
this
amended
plan,
we
will
then
submit
to
hud
the
the
revised
plan
for
their
review
and,
if
they
accept
it,
the
town
will
be
eligible
for
this
additional
cdbg
funding
and
we
are
proposing
to
use
it
for
the
same
activities
that
were
in
the
original
2020
cdbg
plan.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
C
I
K
I
O
Y
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
mayor,
council,
town
manager.
Well,
first,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
collective
leadership,
as
outlined
by
councilman
stanford
at
the
lats
committee,
you're,
making
a
difference,
you're
moving
the
project
in
the
right
direction,
modified
signals,
additional
considerations
that
the
county
and
and
the
state
have
included
now
and
revised
modified,
preferred
alternatives.
Y
So
briefly,
the
recommendation
right
consider
a
resolution
of
of
the
town
of
hilton
island
executing
an
mou
with
beaufort
county
outlining
the
critical
path
of
the
william
parkway
gateway
corridor
project,
including
two
key
components,
independent
and
analysis
and
simulation,
as
well
as
the
adaptive
traffic
signal
component.
That's
baked
into
here.
Y
Y
Earlier
this
year,
number
three:
that
the
town
retain
an
independent
consultant,
one
that
does
not
have
previous
or
current
relationships
with
scdot.
To
do
the
independent
review.
They'll
do
the
end-to-end
simulation
analysis
and
it
will
extend
beyond
the
project
limits
that
were
set
in
the
nepa
document,
which
were
evaluated
during
even
our
work
with
mksk
and
hdr
earlier
this
year,
and
it's
outlined
in
the
scope
and
I'll
talk
about
the
extent
of
that
project
just
just
in
a
minute.
Y
But
it
will
go
beyond
the
current
limits
that
the
scdot
and
the
county
have
had
identified.
We
also
need
to
make
sure
that
we
consider
the
project
impacts
and
a
true
mitigation
assessment
opportunities
to
mitigate
the
impacts
that
we
don't
have
a
clear
definition
on
right
now.
So
I
think
that
deeper
dive
will
help
us
with
mitigation.
Y
As
you
know,
this
money
has
been
money
budgeted
in
this
year's
cip
to
address
all
signals
on
hilton
island
there's
been
a
request
to
synchronize
our
project
with
beaufort
county
and
we're
actively
trying
to
get
there.
I
will
tell
you
that
we
will
have
the
adaptive
traffic
signal
rfp
out
for
the
for
the
town,
with
an
option
with
a
county
to
do
that.
Synchronization
and
the
goal
is
to
have
it
out
by
september,
one
okay.
Y
We
already
have
contracted
with
mksk
to
do
an
engineering
opinion
of
probable
costs
for
all
of
the
recommendations
that
were
included
by
council
of
26
recommendations,
and
so
that
will
be
going
in
a
parallel
effort.
Along
with
the
independent
review,
if
supported
by
council,
the
town
and
county
will
coordinate
with
scdot
as
part
of
the
nipper
process.
They
have
to
do
a
value
engineering
exercise,
and
you
know
the
idea
there
is
to
eliminate
any
unwanted
costs,
improve
function
and
quality
and
to
to
make
sure
you're
getting
a
a
long-term.
Y
I
do
want
to
address
some
citizen
comments
that
we
received
earlier
today,
and
I
know
that
some
of
them
were
covered
earlier
by
by
citizens
during
their
comments,
there
was
some
concern
expressed
about
making
sure
that
comments
filed
with
scdot
would
be
part
of
the
review
process.
Well,
that's
absolutely
true.
We
will
make
sure
that
that
the
consultant
that's
brought
on
board
will
have
that
information
available
and
consider
formation
of
a
technical
working
group.
That's
I
def!
That's
a
council
decision.
I
have
a
technical
working
group
that
includes
brad
schrader
with
mksk.
Y
Number
three
consultant:
modeling
expertise
and
experience
should
be
fully
described
and
evaluated
in
the
consultant's
rfp
process
and
not
within
the
scope
of
work
in
the
scope
of
work.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
we
define
what
modeling
needs
to
happen
needs
to
occur,
our
expectations
for
the
modeling,
but
absolutely
the
expertise
and
modeling
would
come
out
in
a
qualification
for
a
preferred
firm
as
we
move
through
the
vetting
process.
So,
yes,
that's
that's
built
in
the
specific
scope
of
work.
Y
End-To-End
study
should
explicitly
stay
from
moss
creek
to
wilborn
road
other
intersections
should
also
be
added
in
this
part,
and
a
map
should
be
included.
I
I
want
to
point
out
at
this
point
the
limits
that
we're
looking
at
we've
expanded
the
cross
island,
palmetto
bay,
road
evaluation,
all
the
way
to
sea
pine
circle.
So
it
will
include
point
comfort,
arrow
road,
intersection,
target,
signalized
intersection
as
well
as
sea
pine
circle
and
then
on
the
business
route.
We've
gone
past
wilborn
road
we've
gone
to
whooping
crane
way
in
indigo,
run
drive.
Y
We
think
that
those
those
termini
makes
make
the
most
sense
and
give
us
a
deeper
understanding.
That
would
impact
the
corridor
and
the
recommendation
for
throughput
simulation,
so
we've
expanded
it
significantly
beyond
what
was
has
been
evaluated
al
already,
what
we
rec,
what
we
evaluated
with
mksk
hdr
and
what
the
citizens
had
requested
in
the
previous
draft
of
the
mou.
Y
Y
There
were
seven
items
listed
in
the
previous
draft
scope
of
work
again
with
bradstrader's
expertise
and
through
calls
with
five
highly
qualified
potential
engineering
consultants.
We
grouped
a
few
of
those
together,
they're
all
they're,
all
included
the
intent
is
being
met,
but
we
can
certainly
refine
a
little
bit
on
those
base
cases.
Y
The
specific
measurement
results
should
be
stated,
such
as
traffic
delay
costs
and
not
not
included
costs
and
issues
and
they're
not
currently
defined
clear
enough
in
the
scope
of
work.
We
will.
We
will,
as
part
of
the
evaluation
and
selection
criteria,
have
those
items
clearly
defined
and
to
meet
the
expectations
so
that,
when
consultants
respond
to
the
rfp
that
they
are
providing
us
their
their
input
and
expertise.
Y
On
that,
I
would
say
that
this
is
an
rfq
we're
going
to
qualify
a
high
caliber
firm
would
like
to
have
the
benefit
of
them
to
help
us
refine
the
final
scope,
and
that's
why
I'm
saying,
materially
as
as
included
the
scope
along
with
this
mou,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
95
of
the
way
there.
Let
the
experts
that
we
contract
with
get
us
the
other
five
percent.
Y
Y
Y
Step
two
is
to
procure
a
qualified
consultant
to
do
the
end-to-end
work
again
outlined
in
the
scope
that
was
attached
in
the
packet
to
do
the
end-to-end
simulation
and
analysis
items.
Two
and
three,
you
know
same
kind
of
thing.
It
would
be
an
rfq
qualifying
the
team
and
then
define
finalizing
scope
of
work
and
getting
it
out.
Third
main
bullet
is
to
finalize
the
engineering
opinion
of
probable
costs.
Again,
that's
with
mksk
and
their
and
their
transportation
sub-consultants
as
well.
To
give
us
an
idea
of
what
the
recommendations
that
council
made.
Y
What
the
true
cost
is.
Our
estimated
cost
is
to
see
where
there
is
additional
costs
or
cost
savings
that
can
be
part
of
additional
discussions
with
council.
We
also
contract
with
mksk
to
add
some
additional
graphics
to
do
a
digital
model
of
the
corridor.
Again,
I've
talked
about
experience
as
you
move
through
the
corridor.
It's
going
to
be
very
important
for
everyone
to
understand.
Y
I
E
A
S
Selfishness
and
greed
always
finds
an
excuse
to
justify
profit
over
people
in
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
stent
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
oysters.
S
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
all
this
40
years
ago,
including
bluffton,
buford
and
hardyville.
This
would
have
made
living
here.
Even
more
exclusive
and
islands
simply
can't
open
the
floodgates
to
all
without
a
controlled,
enforced
master
land
blend.
I
repeat:
we
are
headed
for
10
pounds
in
a
five
pound
bag
and,
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
we're
already
at
six
pounds.
I
blame
the
kick.
S
The
can
down
the
road
politicians,
elected
elected
officials
who
haven't
a
clue
how
to
balance
responsible
growth
with
maintaining
the
natural
environment
that
drew
them
here
and
now
they
have
phobed
off
their
responsibility
to
remediate
the
damage
on
the
folks
at
south
carolina,
prt
and
blame
others.
The
traffic
and
over
development
has
already
caused
some
long
time,
residents,
businesses
and
tourists
to
leave,
and
it
seriously
impacted
the
gullah
community.
S
These
same
elected
officials
were
aided
and
vetted
by
unscrupulous
dishonest
lawyers
who
rather
line
their
pockets
by
overcharging
taxpayed
legal
fees.
Google
hilton
head
overcharged
legal
fees
and
these
town
attorneys
have
the
same
horses
in
the
development
races
as
the
elected
officials
creating
huge
conflicts
with
their
real
estate
development
clients.
S
These
unethical
lawyers
include
finger
coltrane,
alford
and
serial
ethics
violation,
josh
gruber.
We
also
have
dishonest
compromised
town
managers
and
cpas
who
avoid
forensic
audits
that
would
confirm
their
illegal
tax
use.
We
identified
it's
legalized,
highway
robbery
now
with
the
mass
exodus
of
many
from
big
cities
to
our
area.
It
will
only
get
worse
and
we
can
be
assured
of
ten
pounds
in
a
five
pound
bag
if
a
master
land
plan
is
not
forced.
S
Q
I
just
have
a
quick
question
for
mr
mr
shawn:
let's
get
your
name
mixed
up.
Does
the
statement
of
work
that
you
are
executing
allow
provision
for
calculations
of
a
second
bridge
instead
of
expanding
the
present
bridges
so
as
to
divert
traffic
out
of
stony
and
down
to
the
tourist
south
end
directly
without
affecting
stony?
Is
that
one
of
the
cases
you'll
study?
Y
Y
As
you
recall,
as
we
narrowed
down
our
list
to
the
26
recommendations,
we
did
look
at
bypass
and
elevated
structures
through
stony
and
so
absolutely
that's
part
of
the
body
of
work
that
will
be
looked
at
a
second
bridge.
We
did.
We
did
talk
with
all
five
of
the
folks
that
we
met
with.
I
promise
you
that
brad
we
brought
brad
schrader
here.
He
and
I
spent
two
and
a
half
days
together.
Y
We
quickly
and
he's
highly
respected,
because
we
got
phone
calls
with
all
these
firms
quickly
within
within
a
day
notice
and
talk
with
them
about
alternative
alternative
ways
to
get
to
the
island.
Other
other
applications
application.
I
mean
the
whole
litany
of
things
that
have
been
discussed,
whether
it's
mass
transit,
whether
it's
other
technology
advancements.
Y
We
also
looked
at
the
the
study
that
was
provided
by
the
coastal
conservation
league
that
was
done
by
smart
mobility
to
look
at
some
other
other
perspectives.
So
so
the
answer
is
absolutely
yes.
It
will
look
at
all
alternatives
that
have
been
part
of
the
universe
so
far
and
provide
flexibility
for
them
to
identify
new
new
alternatives
that
were
not
evaluated
so
far.
So
yes,.
R
R
Spanish
wolves
area
up
where
the
cross,
island,
parkway
and
the
toll
booths
were
removed
and
it's
it's
a
real
hassle
trying
to
merge
in
there
at
times
it's
kind
of
dangerous
at
times,
and
I
I
just
wonder
how
long
we
have
to
deal
with
that.
Is
there
money
available
to
finish
the
task?
Is
it
sedot
funds?
That's
doing
it
or
is
it
also
part
of
hilton
head
so.
D
Thank
you.
Yes,
sir.
I
I'll
ask
you
to
talk
to
mr
sean
over
there,
because
he
can
fill
you
in
with
those
details
one.
Yes,
it
is
a
department
of
transportation
project.
We
have
been
working
with
them
along
the
way
it
is
their
project.
Is
their
project
scope?
It
is
their
budget
there's
a
lot
of
details
that
go
into
it
right,
and
so
it
is
since
it's
a
state
road
we're
simply
a
a
party
to
to
it,
but
they
are
definitely
the
ones
with
the
funding
and
they're.
Definitely
the
ones
controlling
that
project.
D
You
ask
some
very
good
questions
in
terms
of
danger.
I
I
feel
the
same
way
I
drive
that
way
in
the
morning
we're
working
with
them
on
it,
but
there
is
a.
There
is
a
a
final
plan
that
will
be
in
place:
they're,
not
there,
yet
right,
they're,
repaving
right
now,
but
sean
can
provide
that.
I
think
looking
at
an
illustration
and
comparing
some
notes
with
him.
We'll
answer
your
very
good
questions.
Sir
great
thank.
U
U
U
A
D
I
I
Y
I
Walking
myself
out,
if
you
go
to
mount
pleasant
on
a
busy
day,
I
was
there
on
a
busy
saturday.
You
come
across
the
ravenel
bridge
and
you
have
a
path
of
six
to
eight
miles.
Where
there's
a
traffic
signal
at
just
about
every
mile.
I
had
to
stop
once
because
those
signals
manage
that
traffic
going
through
there
beautifully.
So
that's
not
a
scientific
study,
but
that
certainly
impressed
me
about
how
those
signals
work.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
Y
J
They
set
and
they
looked
over
the
details
and
thought
creatively
and
intelligently
and
technically
and
gathered
together
close
to
nine
thousand
signatures
on
a
petition
of
people
who
have
confidence
in
the
work
that
they've
done,
and
I
think
that
the
what
we
have
here
is
a
good
representation
of
those
of
those
thoughts.
And
thank
you
all
for
doing
that.
Work
to
two
things.
J
One
is
to
answer
the
question
about
a
master
plan
in
the
way
that
I
can
and
I'll
give
you
what
I
can
say.
What
I
can
say
is
that
one
of
my
concerns
with
regard
to
the
bridge
has
to
do
with
opening
up
more
space
for
more
cars
to
come
on
to
a
limited
capacity
island
that,
as
we
probably
all
can
at
least
anecdotally
say,
is,
if
not
at
capacity,
maybe
past
capacity.
J
A
master
plan
is
really
important
and
it
hasn't
been
done
as
I
understand
it
if
it
wasn't
here,
but
but
we
have
a
town
manager
who
is
committed
to
looking
at
this
island
and
I've
spoken
to
him
many
times
about
many
aspects
of
various
areas
along
the
corridor
and
throughout
the
island,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
I
have
every
confidence
in
his
determination
to
making
the
very
best
island
that
we
can
have
and
constructing
districts.
That
makes
sense.
J
That
does
not
mean
that
I
support
any
additional
capacity,
a
stretch
of
our
capacity,
and
so
I'm
hoping
that,
through
this
independent
study
and
this
work
that
we're
taking
on
now,
perhaps
we
can
find
some
some
mechanisms
and
maybe
some
new
ideas
that
will
create
a
better
hilton
head
in
the
future
than
what
previously
we
would
have
been
confronted
with.
I
also
am
going
to
ask
my
council
members,
and
I
think
I
I
forwarded
you
an
email
earlier.
J
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
have
representation
from
the
group
that
has
worked
so
hard
and
talked
to
so
many
people
about
this
project,
but
we
need
that
technical
working
group
to
include
those
citizen
volunteers
on
it.
I
believe
in
previous
conversations
that
we've
had
together
a
number
of
us
have
also
agreed
to
that
privately.
J
So
I'm
asking
at
this
point
I
think
sean
mentioned
that
would
have
to
come
from
the
council
and
I'm
asking
us
all
to
agree
here
as
part
of
this
mou
resolution
that
we
include
the
steve
bear
technical
group
as
part
of
this
working
group
moving
forward,
almost
9
000
people,
in
addition
to
myself,
are
asking
for
that.
Thank
you.
A
And
second
of
all,
I
would
refer
back
to
public
planning
committee
for
a
discussion
there
or
whether
we
want
to
do
a
working
group
as
we're
doing
this,
because
I
want
to
discuss
the
benefits
to
pros
and
cons
having
outside
people.
Besides
for
the
consultants
that
we
have
getting
involved
in
this
project,.
D
Yes,
sir,
and
and
members
of
council,
just
to
clarify
I
apologize,
I
was
a
little
confused
for
a
second
wondering
if
you
were
talking
about
a
master
plan
as
sean
was
talking
about
the
the
corridor
and
the
adaptive
signals
that
typically
respond.
So
we
all
know,
I
responded
the
mayor's
request
to
speak
at
a
council
meeting,
so
I
was
being
very
polite
and
respectful
of
the
process.
So,
yes,
mayor
mccann,
I
can
speak
about
that.
You
know
want
to
answer
the
question
and
I
have
experience
in
master
planning.
D
Yes,
yes,
I
do
in
bluffton,
I
put
together
what
they
have
as
a
growth
framework
map
and
it
really
started
driving
the
future
for
rezonings
and
infrastructure
investment,
where
you
somewhat
divine
your
center
of
town
and
your
edge
of
town,
protecting
your
edge
in
environmental
areas,
much
different
situation
here.
So
to
answer
that
question:
yes
ma'am,
I
do
have
that
experience.
D
One
thing
that
is
baked
into
our
strategic
plan
as
we
meet
on
september,
8th,
we'll
dive
a
little
deeper,
but
in
the
strategic
plan
we
have
a
couple
of
different
elements:
a
couple
different
strategies
on
real,
a
real
challenge
of
the
status
quo
for
zoning
and
development
standards
and
growth
on
our
island
right
and
so
from
a
layered
approach.
We
we
have
started
by
understanding
and
learning
about
the
mid-island
district,
as
we
know
it
as
far
as
the
water
is
deep
and
as
all
the
way
down
to
matthews
right.
D
So
it
includes
mitchellville
and
bagal
and
grassland,
but
it
also
includes
northridge,
plaza
port
royal,
plaza
and
pieces
in
between.
I
think
that's
our
first
big
step
to
truly
understand
a
district,
a
series
of
neighborhoods,
but
but
bigger
than
that
we
will
start
diving
into
as
an
aside.
Sean
is
putting
a
great
team
in
place.
He
just
hired
and
promote
actually
promoted
missy
lueck
to
run
the
community
planning
arm.
D
She's
got
a
lot
of
great
experience
in
the
long
range
community
planning
we've
aligned
ourselves
with
some
smart
folks
internal
as
well
as
external,
the
big
first
step
we'll
take.
In
addition
to
really
you
know,
attaching
it
to
even
sean's
assessment
of
the
corridor
here
is
to
take
a
look
at
the
island
from
a
growth
framework
perspective
right
most
of
the
island
is
behind
the
gates,
I.e,
it's
already
been
master
planned,
there's,
not
much
to
say
about
that.
It's
getting
a
contract,
it's
in
a
planned
unit,
development.
D
It
is
what
it
is
for
the
most
part
outside
the
gates.
There's
lots
to
do,
but
not
a
lot
to
do
at
the
same
time
right
there,
there's
23
or
so
different
zoning
districts
on
our
zoning
map.
In
fact,
five
six
seven
shades
of
yellow
sean
knows
it
drives
me
crazy,
four
units,
eight
units
somewhere
in
between
so
let's
dive
into
a
real
growth
framework
on
our
island.
Let's
define
those
centers
and
edges.
D
D
It's
not
just
that
easy
to
change
purple,
which
is
resort
district
to
non-purple
non-resort
district,
because
there
are
taking
legislations
legislation,
there's
there's
case
law.
There's
there's
risk
and,
and
there's
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
yeah
it's
time
and
I've
been
talking
with
town
council
and
if
you
have
been
paying
attention
along
the
way
it
is
in
our
strategic
plan.
I'd
be
happy
to
share
that
with
you.
An
island
master
plan
is
is
very
much
a
part
of
that
layer
right.
We
know
great
places.
D
D
We're
not
just
planning
a
park
up
on
the
north
end
that
used
to
be
a
golf
course:
we've
selected
a
district
and
are
using
the
park
as
that
as
that
public
investment,
the
anchor
the
public
anchor
as
we
think
about
the
future
of
our
island-
and
it
doesn't
mean
more,
is
better,
but
it
could
be
less
in
certain
areas
and
more
in
certain
areas
to
allow
a
zoning
and
development
standards
framework.
That
is
what
we
intend
through
a
master
plan.
J
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
for
that
explanation.
I
think
everyone,
the
the
educational
part
of
this,
for
all
of
us
is,
is
so
critical
as
we
understand
what
the
government
here
in
hilton
head
is,
is
doing
and
been
thinking
about
and
is
planning
for
the
future.
It's
a
particular
interest
of
me.
It's
where
I
spend
an
awful
lot
of
my
time
talking
with
our
town
manager
and
our
mayor
and
other
council
members.
J
A
U
D
Well,
I
I
haven't
included
bluffton
in
a
town
of
hilton
head
island,
strategic
plan
master
plan,
but
but
know
that
we're
very
connected
in
in
the
region.
I
know
that
we're
paying
attention
on
the
road,
the
adaptive
traffic
signal,
as
just
one
case
study
or
example,
here,
defining
a
master
plan
is
an
illustrative
master
plan
defining
you
know,
defense.
U
D
U
S
One
more
comment:
if
I
could
just
give
me
a
few
few
minutes,
we're
42
years,
we're
40
years
late
for
a
master
plan
to
to
really
protect
what
we
have
but
and
we
can't
go
back
it's
just
history.
We
can't
go
back.
We
got
to
go
forward,
but
it's
not
too
late
to
to
stop
it
and
put
a
master
plan
together
to
prevent
the
10
pounds
in
a
5
pound
back
from
occurring
and
I've
got
a
study,
I'm
going
to
be
giving
studies
to
y'all
and
I'm
happy
to
give
it
to
everybody
in
this
room.
S
And
you
don't
want
to
hear
this,
but
it's
true.
Actually,
tourism
out
of
control
tourism
too
much
tourism
can
actually
destroy
the
very
community
where
we
all
live.
That's
something
that
we're
going
to
have
to
really
look
at
and
nobody's
really
talked
about
that
and
it
and-
and
I
think
the
perfect
example
is
check-in
and
check-out
day
everybody's
been
in
check-out
check-out
day
on
friday
and
saturdays
to
bumper.
All
the
way
it
to
bluffton
bluffton
is
not
helping
us
because
we
have
to
go
through
bluffton.
We
got
to
go
through
hardyville.
S
We
have
one
road,
all
the
way
to
95.
and
we've
got
bluffton
is
just
300
prove
this
prove
that
everything
gets
approved,
because
we
have
corrupted
officials
that
have
horses
in
the
race.
So
we've
got
to
look
at
the
tourism
and
figure
that
out,
and
we
certainly
got
to
defund
this
chamber
and
for
three
or
four
or
five
million
dollars.
We
need
to
put
that
money
towards
buying
land,
buying
up
land
and
stopping
the
insanity.
We
don't
need
to
promote
hilton
head
facebook
and
technology.
S
A
L
L
Had
to
do
with
certain
words
that
were
no
longer
in
the
agreement,
I'm
at
the
point
I'm
ready
to
move
forward.
I
think
we
have
spent
enough
time
dealing
with
trust
issues.
I
think
we
are
there,
but
I
would
like
to
I
think
you
said
that
once
you
get
into
the
rfp
conversations,
those
words
would
be
a
part
of
what
is
developed
is.
Y
Did
I
hear
you?
Yes,
sir?
I
think
again,
I
think,
with
the
scope
of
work,
I
wanted
to
have
a
level
of
confidence
that
we
are
95
percent
of
the
way
there.
We
we
learned
an
awful
lot
in
the
phone
calls
with
the
with
these
high
caliber
engineering
firms,
along
with
brad
schrader.
I
want
to
give
a
five
percent
opportunity
for
them
to
help
inform
and
refine
the
scope
so
that
it
meets
all
of
our
expectations.
Y
L
K
K
I
would
anticipate
something
coming
back
from
beaufort
county
in
terms
of
the
counter
to
this
I'd
be
pleased
that
this
flew
through,
but
I
think
we
can
expect
some
sort
of
a
counter
from
beaufort
county.
So
let's
not
be
surprised
when
that
happens.
I
do
have
a
very
significant
concern
and
it
pertains
to
duration
and
cost.
K
We
have
continued
to
defer
this,
to
the
extent
that
I'm
worried
that
the
grant
funding
we
have
from
the
infrastructure
bank
could
be
at
risk,
and
I
am
relying
totally
on
senator
davis,
saying
more
than
once
in
public
that
that
infrastructure
bank
is
not
at
risk
and
therefore,
and
based
on
senator
davis's,
comment
I'll
support.
This
going
forward,
alex.
A
Y
A
I
L
I
Accepted
finally,
mr
mayor,
I
moved
to
approve
a
resolution
of
the
town
of
hilton
head
island
authorizing
the
town
to
enter
into
an
option
agreement
for
