I'm
Natalie
hefter-
and
this
is
your
Beaufort
County
moment
in
the
1930s
honeyhorn
on
Hilton
Head
Island-
was
owned
by
two
men
from
New
York,
Alfred,
Loomis
and
Landon
Thorne.
They
entertained
hunters
and
enjoyed
their
visits
to
Hilton
Head.
But
while
they
were
not
here,
Alfred
Loomis
had
a
laboratory
at
his
home
in
Tuxedo
Park
New
York.
There
he
entertained
some
of
the
nation's
best
scientific
Minds.
H
He
was
involved
with
the
invention
of
loran
radar
system
and
funded
many
scientific
projects
during
World
War
II,
his
cousin
was
Secretary
of
War
Henry
stimpson,
so
he
was
very
involved
in
many
of
the
projects
during
the
war.
It's
hard
to
imagine
a
sleepy
little
Hilton
Head
Island
full
of
its
rattlesnakes
having
hosts
two
Alfred
Loomis
and
some
of
his
scientific
minds,
but
they
did
enjoy
their
visits
to
Hilton
Head
Island
I'm,
Natalie
hefter-
and
this
has
been
your
Beaufort
County
moment.
I
J
Welcome
everybody:
my
name
is
John
remold
and
I'm.
The
airport
director
here
at
Hilton,
Head,
Island,
airport
and
I
am
super
excited
on
both
a
professional
level
and
a
personal
level
to
be
here
to
do
what
we're
doing
today,
a
quick
story
about
just
me
and
my
family.
We
live
in
the
North
part
of
the
county
and
we
often
do
kind
of
a
staycation
up
there
up
around
Fripp
Island,
so
I
am
very
familiar
with
the
blue
shirts.
J
We've
been
out
there
many
times
with
the
Fripp
Island
Patrol,
my
I've
seen
a
nest
boil,
which
is
awesome
and
we've
been
on
countless
Turtle
inventories
in
the
evenings
and
that
and
the
the
one
event
I've
not
seen
I've,
not
seen
a
marmalade.
So
I
cannot
wait
for
that
someday.
My
children
could
be
here
to
tell
the
story
about
what
you
do
and
don't
do
on
the
beach.
They
know
how
to
fill
in
the
holes.
J
J
His
wealth
in
the
town
and
I
said:
there's
no
better
thing
to
put
in
the
Hilton
Head
Island
airport
terminal
than
a
turtle,
so
we're
very
enthusiastic
to
to
unveil
this
today
very
glad
that
you're
all
here
and
we
want
to
welcome
our
town
councilwoman
here,
Ms
Becker,
thank
you
for
being
here
and
do
we
have
any
of
their
elected
officials
in
here
that
we
need
to
recognize.
We
have
the
masks
on
so
this
whole
disguise
thing
kind
of
throws
me
off
sometimes,
but
thank
you
all
for
Gathering.
J
K
Well,
this
is
exciting
whenever
anyone
says
to
me
Amber
that
that's
just
not
gonna
happen
or
Amber.
That
can't
be
done.
That's
when
I
make
it
happen.
I
guess
I
like
a
challenge,
but
these
statues
are
part
of
a
series
that
a
lot
of
towns
do
for,
like
cows,
around
town
or
oysters
around
town
and
I
just
order
one
so
when
I
call
them
in
Chicago
and
ask
for
one
instead
of
100
they're
like
oh,
it's
Amber
in
Hilton
Head,
so
we'll
get
one
every
year.
K
K
Thank
you,
Town
Council,
it's
up
to
date,
but
Myrtle
my
mask
is
falling.
It
represents
a
turtle,
that's
actually
a
turtle
that
we
track
with
DNA
and
she
is
she's
been
recognized
by
the
scientists
at
University
of
Georgia,
because
she
is
a
super
mom,
which
means
that
she
has
daughters
that
are
nesting,
which
means
her
daughters
are
30.
She
has
to
be
at
least
60
and
she's,
probably
older
than
that.
She
lays
up
to
eight
nests
in
a
season
which
is
more
than
we
have
ever
recorded
on
any
other
turtle
on
our
beach.
K
K
We
want
the
tourists
to
come
in
and
see
her
immediately
and
know
that
they're
here
to
see
turtles,
possibly
on
the
beach
and
then
we'll
give
them
the
message
on
our
website
the
QR
code
to
let
them
know
what
they
can
do
to
help
with
that
impact
on
the
turtles.
Okay,
so
thank
you
for
all
chromie.
This
is
my
staff
over
here
in
the
blue
shirts.
They
go
out
on
the
beach
at
five
o'clock.
K
L
Hi
I'm
Mira
Scott
I'm,
the
artist
who
has
painted
this
sculpture,
I'm,
currently
working
on
number
three
and
I've
got
the
help
of
the
children
at
St
Francis
school,
which
is
just
down
the
street
a
little
bit,
but
I
also
wanted
to
make
a
point
of
recognizing
Renee
hush
hour,
who
had
volunteered
material
and
I.
Can't
even
imagine
how
many
hours
to
build
this
vintage
travel
trunk.
L
The
components
are:
antique
brass
50
year
old,
leather,
off
of
upholstery,
old
upholstery
out
of
Chicago
and
a
lot
of
love.
And
if
you
look
closely
at
this
particular
travel
trunk
you'll
see
that
the
stickers
that
she's
accumulated
are
from
all
of
her
travels
from
here
down
through
the
Caribbean
up
the
coast
a
little
bit
over
to
the
Azores.
So
she
kind
of
shares
her
little
travel
Ventures
with
you.
So
it's
rather
appropriate
that
she
be
on
a
travel
trunk
in
the
Hilton
Head
Island
airport
and
we're
thrilled
to
have
her
here
and
focus.
L
You
know
it's
a
it's
a
nice!
It's
a
nice
welcome
for
people,
but
it's
also
a
huge
educational
component,
which
is
critical
with
the
volume
of
people
that
come
to
Hilton
Head.
As
all
you
volunteers
know,
it
is
so
difficult
to
get
the
word
out
to
every
single
visitor,
that's
only
here
for
maybe
seven
days
and
hopefully
with
this
type
of
product
out
there
in
the
community
and
the
QR
codes
and
the
signs
the
word
will
get
out
and
our
Superstar
will
be
world
renowned.
G
G
G
Susan
and
I
have
been
here
for
18
years,
and
we
know
the
positive
impact
libraries
can
make
in
our
community.
Today's
library
is
a
new
town
hall,
full
of
vibrant
mixture
of
programs
and
offerings
as
a
board
member
I
know
firsthand
the
impact
that
we
can
make
and
how
important
it
is
to
have
people
spend
their
time
and
talents
on
making
Beaufort
County
a
better
place.
G
M
H
This
is
Natalie
hefter,
and
this
is
your
Beaufort
County
moment,
starting
in
the
1740s
Indigo
was
introduced
to
the
Carolinas
Eliza
Lucas
and
Andre
Devoe
are
credited
with
bringing
the
process
to
fruition
here
in
South
Carolina.
While
it
wasn't
introduced
in
Beaufort
County
until
the
1750s
by
then,
it
had
already
expanded
to
be
one
of
South
Carolina's.
Most
important
exports
in
the
late
1740s
England
passed
a
bounty
on
Carolina
Indigo,
which
greatly
increased
production
here,
the
processing
of
indigo
involved
along
several
days
of
fermenting
the
plant
in
Vats
of
urine
and
water.
H
Once
that
had
happened,
then
the
dye
was
left
out
of
the
solution
to
dry
packaged
up
in
barrels
and
shipped
to
England.
By
1775,
over
1
million
pounds
of
indigo
was
exported
from
the
Carolinas
by
1802.
However,
there
was
no
longer
an
export
for
Indigo,
as
most
Planters
had
turned
their
eyes
towards
Sea
Island
cotton.
I
N
My
memory
Campbell-
and
this
is
Beaufort
County
moments.
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
food.
Today.
Food
has
been
a
great
part
of
our
life
in
terms
of
gathering
food
and
preparing
them.
Our
food
is
based
on
the
land
and
the
sea.
The
land
food
has
always
been
rice.
We
don't
feel
we
have
eaten
dinner
unless
we've
had
rice.
N
Rice
was
mixed
with
various
items
from
the
sea
like
oysters
or
shrimp,
and
when
they
are
cooked
with
rice
in
one
pot
we
call
it
a
rice
or
shrimp
or
an
oyster
Perlo,
and
then
we
have
the
watermelons
and
the
sweet
potatoes.
Sweet
potatoes
was
always
eaten
with
fish
and
fresh
fish
with
gravy
and
a
sweet
potato.
N
We
raise
them
as
well
as
we
prepare
them
with
shrimp
and
tomatoes.
Some
people
would
call
that
a
gumbo
and
that's
what
exactly
what
it
is:
okra
gumbo
and
so
enjoy
the
food
of
the
Low
Country,
because
it's
been
very
much
a
part
of
our
history
is
Emory
Campbell.
This
has
been
your
Beaufort
County
moment.
I
O
P
Earth
is
a
very
special
place.
Not
only
is
it
our
home,
but
it's
the
only
planet
that
scientists
know
of
where
life
exists.
The
diversity
of
life
on
Earth
is
amazing,
from
microscopic
algae
to
Cypress,
trees,
from
protozoans
to
worms
to
Eagles,
mushrooms
and
bacteria.
The
keys
to
life
on
Earth
are
the
climate
and
the
presence
of
liquid
water
along
with
the
right
organic
compounds.
P
Earth
is
not
too
hot,
not
too
cold.
Its
distance
from
the
Sun
and
atmosphere
keep
temperatures
moderate,
allowing
water
to
remain
liquid,
which
is
essential
for
cellular
processes
that
support
life
to
take
place.
Radiometric
dating
indicates
that
the
Earth
is
somewhere
around
4.5
billion
years
old.
It's
constantly
undergoing
large-scale
changes
due
to
the
effects
of
plate
tectonics.
P
It
takes
just
over
365
days
for
the
earth
to
make
one
revolution
around
the
Sun
and
it
takes
24
hours
for
the
Earth
to
rotate
once
the
Earth's
axis
is
also
tilted
at
23
degrees,
which
causes
seasonal
variation
in
weather.
People
have
long
wondered
if
there's
life
beyond
our
own
Planet,
our
search
for
life
beyond
Earth
First,
requires
scientists
to
find
other
stars
that
have
planets
revolving
around
them.
These
are
called
exoplanets.
P
In
most
cases,
these
planets
are
very
difficult
to
find
and
see
so
scientists
look
for
evidence
that
there
is
a
planet
present
without
ever
seeing
the
planet
itself.
One
way
to
do
that
is
to
look
for
stars
that
are
rotating
in
a
way
that
indicate
they
have
a
planet
revolving
around
them.
Let's
take
this
example.
This
is
a
star.
That's
rotating,
without
a
planet.
Compare
that
to
this
star,
that's
rotating
with
a
planet.
You
can
see
it's
moving
very
differently.
It
wobbles
another
method
is
called
the
transit
method.
P
P
The
easiest
planets
to
find
are
the
largest,
and
so
far
most
of
the
planets
discovered
are
large,
jupiter-like
planets
that
do
not
have
the
right
conditions
for
supporting
life.
Scientists
are
looking
for
planets
in
the
habitable
zone,
also
known
as
the
Goldilocks
zone.
What
is
the
habitable
zone?
It
depends
on
the
size
and
temperature
of
the
star,
but
it's
the
region
around
a
star
where
it's
not
too
hot,
not
too
cold,
so
that
water
remains
in
a
liquid
state.
P
Nasa's
Kepler
mission
is
designed
specifically
to
search
our
region
of
the
Galaxy
for
Earth-like
planets
using
a
very
powerful
telescope.
That's
focused
on
space
at
a
small
area
within
the
summer
triangle.
Already
thousands
of
planets
have
been
discovered.
Only
a
handful,
however,
have
the
right
conditions
to
potentially
host
life
going
forward.
Scientists
must
study
these
planets
in
more
detail.
Looking
at
speed
of
rotation,
atmospheric
conditions
and
whether
there's
any
liquid
water
present,
the
Earth
is
a
unique
Planet
among
many
many
other
planets
that
we're
only
just
beginning
to
discover.
P
A

to
improve
this
community
that
we
may
have
different
ideas.
Q
Q
Also
for
this
meeting
that
you
would
anointed
that
you
would
bless
it
that
it
would
have
a
sense
of
peace
and
Grace
as
we

sometimes
controversial,
sometimes
challengings,
but
always
the
questions
and
challenges
of
life
and
living
in
community
together
bless
this
day

very
much.
A
A
E
Sir
mayor
council,
members
of
the
community,
just
one
item
I
know:
we've
got
a
big
agenda,
but
just
an
item
of
interest,
flood
mitigation
assistance
grants
so
for
more
information
and
I'll
say
that
a
couple
times
please
contact
our
senior
grants,
administrator,
Marcy
Benson
but
FEMA,
the
Federal
Emergency
Management
agency
and
the
South
Carolina
Department
of
Natural
Resources,
announced
the
application
period
for
flood
mitigation
assistance,
grants
it
opened
on
September
30th.
It
closes
on
December
1st,
so
that's
an
important
date.
E
The
program
makes
available
funds
to
reduce
or
eliminate
risk
of
flooding,
repetitive
flooding.
That's
a
key
word
repetitive:
flooding
to
buildings
insured
under
the
national
flood
insurance
program.
Applications
must
be
for
either
a
repetitive
lost.
A
repetitive
loss.
Excuse
me
or
severe
repetitive,
loss
of
structure
so
process.
Individual
Property
Owners
must
apply
for
funding
through
the
town
and
then
the
town
submits
these
applications
to
the
depart.
South
Carolina,
Department
of
Natural,
Resources
and
FEMA
for
review
and
consideration.
I
know
that
we've
had
some
success
with
that
in
the
past.
E
I
know
that
there
are
flood-prone
properties
on
our
Island.
I
think
that
this
is
a
brilliant
opportunity
for
the
Community
member,
the
resident
and
the
town
and
the
federal
government
to
come
together
and
help
solve
some
of
these
site-specific
and
and
Watershed
specific
issues,

F
F
T
U
As
a
clergy
person,
I'm,
not
sure
I
can
do
this
in
three
minutes.
Okay,
I'll
try
my
best
I'm
Mary
McCann
members
of
the
Town
Council
I'm
here
today
to
talk
about
the
legislation
you're
about
to
vote
on
with
regard
to
housing,
whether
we
are
in
the
Pulpit
or
serving
the
public
as
elected
representatives.
U
U
Besides
being
the
dream
place
in
the
Eden
that
for
most
of
us
who
have
worked
a
lifetime
to
come
here
and
retire
here
and
live
out,
our
dream
that
we
aspire
to
for
all
our
careers,
that
Hilton
Head
is
a
place
that
cherishes
and
respects
the
diversity
of
people
who
yearn
for
a
living
who
work
hard.
Who
who
are
appreciated
here
today
is
the
beginning
of
that
day.
It
is
a
day
of
symbolic
importance
and
real
substantive
legislative
action.
U
That
demonstrates
that
we
walk
the
walk
and
we
talk
just
like
we
talk
the
talk
and
I
know
about
that.
As
we
quote
scriptures
city
council,
which
is
you
shall
love
thy
neighbor
as
thyself.
That
seems
to
me
to
be.
You
know,
a
piece
that
unites
all
of
us,
no
matter
who
we
are
and
I
want
to
quote
from
Isaiah
chapter
65,
because
and
I
want
you
to
listen
to
this,
because
I
think
it
relates
to
this
issue.
U
Isaiah
said
they
shall
build
houses
and
inhabit
them.
They
shall
plant
Vineyards
and
eat
their
fruit.
They
shall
not
build
an
another
inhabit,
they
shall
not
plant
and
another
eat.
For
like
the
days
of
a
tree,
shall
the
days
of
my
people
be
and
My
Chosen
shall
long
enjoy
the
work
of
their
hands.
These
workers,
who
beautify
our
lawns,
teach
our
children
repair
our
businesses,
man,
our
fire
trucks,
our
ambulances,
police,
our
streets
and
homes,
take
care
of
our
sick
and
our
senior
citizens
work
hard
for
us
and
help
us
enjoy
our
lives.
U
Now
it's
our
turn
to
let
them
build
their
own
habitation
plant,
their
own
garden,
enjoy
the
work
of
their
hands
for
their
families
and
for
their
future.
The
question
is
Count
Council.
Are
you
going
to
give
them
a
hand
up?
That's
the
question
for
you.
We
listen
to
the
rhetoric
that
providing
a
public-private
partnership
for
Workforce
housing.
U
U
We
as
clergy-
and
you
heard
it
from
my
distinguished
colleague
in
his
beautiful
invocation-
are
here
today
and
we
represent
a
spectrum
of
Faith
Traditions
which
see
the
moral
imperative
clearly
as
one
of
the
Sheriff's
Office
Sheriff
Offices
police
chaplains,
which
I
do
as
a

I,
took
a
ride
along
and
visited
all
the
neighborhoods
in
the
Hilton
Head
like
chimney.
Cove
recently
I
saw
how
workers
live
and
I
asked
this
question:
can
we
do
better
I
respectfully,
ask
you
to
ask
that
question
too.
U
Can
we
do
better?
Many
of
the
Working
Poor
and
others
in
the
middle
class
are
is
what
this
is
about.
This
is
the
beginning
of
a
long
process
of
investing
in
human
resources
that
helped
make
Hilton
Head
the
leading
place
for
people
to
visit
and
live
here.
This
is
our
chance
to
give
these
folks
some
skin
in
The
Game
of
Life.
Helping
to
provide
housing
is
similar
to
I.

U
R

The
first
one
is:
what's
the
status
of
the
lawsuit?
Did
it
ever
happen?
What's
going
on
the
second
one
is:
what
are
you
going
to
do
about
us?
Paying
three
times
for
police
protection
seems
a
bit
ridiculous
to
me
and
lastly,
the
3.6

you
didn't
pay.

V
C
This
resolution
holds
broad
implications
for
Arts
funding,
not
only
in
our
town
but
across
the
state.
Thousands
of
jobs
are
dependent
upon
organizations
that
could
be
adversely
affected.
I'm
urging
you
to
pull
this
item
from
the
agenda
until
a
dialogue
can
be
carried
on
with
stakeholders
who
were
never
notified
of
this
resolution
in
advance.
C
Competition
for
these
scarce
funds
could
change
dramatically.
If
this
plan
is
successful
without
specific
changes,
this
could
be
a
huge
obstacle
for
many
organizations,
not
just
here,
but
throughout
the
state.
I'll
give
you
an
example
of
a
change
that
makes
sense
and
that
would
be
changing
the
DMO
allocation
or
eliminating
it
all
together.
If
you're
looking
for
more
freedom
in
how
atex
money
is
spent,
that
makes
sense.
I
know
this
is
a
hard
sell
on
the
state
level.
We
all
know
that,
but
Tom
is
pretty
effective.
C
C
W
Good
afternoon,
I'm
here
today,
on
behalf
of
the
Coalition
of
Island
neighbors
I've
got
a
few
cautionary
comments
about
the
resolution
for
funding
Housing
Programs,
that's
on
today's
agenda.
First
of
all,
we're
grateful
that
you're
exploring
multiple
funding
sources.
Neither
are
businesses
nor
our
local
taxpayers
should
take
this
on
alone.
In
addition
to
the
sources
identified
in
your
resolution,
please
consider
changes
to
business,
license
fees
and
short-term
rental
licenses.
W
Coin
supports
your
ask
to
increase
the
state
housing
tax
credits
appropriation,
although
we
recognize
that
it
may
be
more
than
40
million
that's
needed
for
all
the
needs
across
the
state.
As
far
as
atacs
and
H
Tax
repurposing
goes.
We
urge
you
to
carefully
consider
the
unintended
consequences
of
this
resolution
without
increasing
the
total.
A
tax
and
age
tax
rates
advocating
to
redirect
existing
funds
towards
housing
will
increase
competition
for
those
dollars
locally.
W
That
means
that
our
non-profits
will
likely
get
reduced
allocations
so
which
one
of
these
applicants
are
you
willing
to
defund

Symphony,
Orchestra,

Coastal
Carolina,

rec
Lowcountry
Golf
Course
owners,
Hilton,

Wine

Food
Coastal
Discovery
Museum
arts,

Choral,
Society,
Dance
Theater.
The
list
goes
on
and
on-
and
you
know
all
those
applicants,
as
well
as
I,
do
as
the
need
for
housing
funding
is
being
explored.
You
should
advocate
for
all
potential
sources
to
avoid
harming
any
local
organizations.
W
N
X
Good
afternoon
Mr
Mayor,
Mr,
Orlando
and
Town
Council
Members.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
again
today,
I
appreciate
the
efforts
that
you
have
made
to
prepare
this
Workforce
housing
framework,
which
we
will
hear
about
again
later.
This
is,
however,
not
the
first
such
study
to
be
authorized
and
adopted.
X
X
As
I
said
in
my
comments
at
the
last
Town
council
meeting,
we
wish
Workforce
housing
to
be
your
number
one
priority.
With
this
Council
and
our
future
Council,
we
have
collected
over
500
residents
signatures
on
petitions,
asking
you
to
make
this
the
number
one
priority
in
our
town.
Our
citizens
want
real
action
and
commitment.
X
Y
Y
Y
We
get
full
from
the
town,
we
get
full
support
from
the
fire
department.
We
get
full
support
from
the
Sheriff's
Office
to
school
and
local
businesses,
but
to
this
day
we
have
nothing
on
the
island
that
formally
serves
or
honored
Dr
King
in
any
shape
or
form
whether
it's
a
sign
a
plaque,
a
bench
with
his
name
on
it.
Y
A
park
named
after
him,
so
I'm
here
today
to
ask
the
counselor
to
approve
an
area
in
the
mid
Island
Park,
something
to
honor
Dr
King
in
his
memories
in
our
community,
something
that
we
all
can
work
together.
Town
Council
the
Town
members
of
the
community
to
create
something
in
honor
of
Dr
King,
but
not
just
for
us.
This
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
get
to
be
more
diverse.
It
gets
us
to
work
together
continually
like
you're
doing
today
with
all
cultural
and
our
historical
pieces
with
on
the
island.
Y
Y
Might
this
take
a
small
statue,
a
plaque
or
Bridge,
or
just
even
a
bench,
something
with
his
name
in
is
what
I'm
pleading
today
this
area
can
feature
leaders
of
the
community
as
well.
As
you
all
know,
we
have
leaders
in
this
community
who
are
doing
great
things.
We
can
have
that
area
to
recognize
those
those
individuals
as
well.
Maybe
this
site
can
be
a
historical
map
for
visitors
from
to
come
on,
Hilton,
Head
and
see.
Y
These
are
just
a
few
of
my
ideas
that
I
was
thinking,
but
we
can
work
to
towards
that.
Once
we
possibly
get
a
vote
on
this
I
ask
you:
how
can
we
continue
to
build
a
Beloved
Community
where
we
all
stand
work
together
in
equal
sociology,
socially,
socially
and,
more
importantly,
love
for
the
beautiful
community
of
Hilton
Head
that
we
have?
Thank
you
again
for
allowing
me
to
speak
and
I
hope
you
both
allow
us
to
do
this.
Thank.
Z
And
Town
Council
in
our
Christian
scriptures
in
the
first
letter
of
John,
he
writes
how
does
God's
love
abide
in
anyone
who
has
the
world's
goods
and
sees
a
brother
or
sister
in
need
and
yet
refuses
to
help?
He
goes
on
to
say
little
children,
let
us
love
not
in
word
or
speech,
but
indeed
and
Truth.
We
are
coming
together
today
to
make
our
words
into
Deeds.
Z
I
want
to
take
the
time
to
remind
you
of
where
how
far
we've
come
in
this
journey
in
such
a
short
time.
Just
since
August
12th
three
months
ago,
when
the
people
in
52
units
of
Chimney
Cove
received
word
that
they
were
going
to
be
evicted
from
their
homes
in
30
days
on
August
12th,
we
found
ourselves
basically
unprepared
for
the
eventual
departure
of
300
people
from
beside
us,
from
our
Island
and
from
our
Workforce
I
was
fit
to
be
tied.
Many
people
were
outraged.
Z
We
were
all
frustrated
and
the
people
of
Chimney
Cove
were
scared.
Our
friends
from
Deep
Well,
Low,
Country
immigration,
Volunteers
in
medicine,
Boys
and
Girls,
Club,
Consumer,
Credit,
Counseling,
Low,
Country,
legal
volunteers
and
other
non-profit
Services
organizations
joined
together
at
Christ
Lutheran
Church.
To
help
these
Hilton
Head
citizens
find
some
options.
We
gave
them
all
the
help
that
we
could
give
them,
but
what
we
couldn't
give
them
was
any
housing
that
they
could
afford
in
our
area.
They
were
going
to
be
in
essence
of
evicted
from
Hilton,
Head
and
the
area.
Z
We
have
come
a
long
way
since
August.
When
we
started.
We
were
not
all
unanimous
as
to
how
important
it
was
to
tackle
the
issue
of
affordable
housing
or,
if
it
was
possible
to
accomplish.
But
today,
just
three
months
later,
we
are
in
a
different
place.
We
all
realize
how
necessary
it
is
to
deal
with
this
problem.
We
all
realize
that
we
need
to
be
creative
in
our
Solutions.
We
all
realize
that
it's
a
necessity
for
us
and
our
future.
Z
This
change
of
heart
is
due
to
the
compassion,
the
energy
and
the
people
of
Hilton
Head
and
to
the
people
who
form
the
Hilton
Head
home
Coalition
and
to
you
and
your
dedication
to
find
workable
solutions
to
this
problem.
When
we
met
on
September
6th
mayor,
you
said
you
were
not
happy
that
this
had
not
been
done,
but
you
all
have
now
done
something.
Z
You
raised
the
challenge
to
come
up
with
a
framework
by
November
1st,
and
you
have
seen
that
through
to
this
day,
you
are
doing
God's
work
here,
even
though
it's
not
labeled
as
such,
on
your
resumes
I.
Thank
you
for
that
on
September
6th
I.
Ask
you
all
not
to
waste
the
suffering
of
the
people
of
Chimney
Cove
and
you
haven't
wasted
it.
You
have
used
it
to
come
to
a
different
place
in
this
community,
but
this
is
not
done
yet
by
some
miracle.
Z
The
people
of
Chimney
Cove
got
a
reprieve
on
that
eviction
date
and
that
was
supposed
to
happen
on
September
12th,
and
they
are
still
with
us
on
the
island
today,
but
their
presence
with
us
is
still
under
great
threat
and
if
they
are
asked
to
leave
again,
there
are
still
not
enough
places
for
them
to
go.
I
asked
you
to
commit
to
Workforce
housing
plan
with
the
funds
necessary
to
see
it
through.
The
town
is
with
you.
Don't
wait
for
a
referendum,
be
bold
continue.
Z
AA
Thank
you
very
much
I'm
Sandy
Gillis
with
the
Deep
Well
project,
and
you
have
weighty
matters
ahead
of
you
today
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
service
and
and
I
Echo
Reverend,
crons's
hope
for
wisdom.
I
have
a
very
small
piece
of
information
to
share
today,
and
that
is
an
update
with
what
is
happening
at
chimney.
Cove.
AA
AA
Eight
of
the
families
have
already
moved
since
that
August
lease
termination
letter,
four
of
those
families,
I
am
thrilled
to
report,
did
find
alternative
housing
right
here
on
Hilton
Head,
one
of
them
purchased
their
own
mobile
home
that
they
own,
and
then
they
found
a
great
landlord
with
one
of
our
native
Islanders,
who
had
some
land
available.
Three
of
the
other
families
are
in
new
apartment
rentals.
Here
on
the
island,
two
families
did
find
housing.
Unfortunately,
in
Bluffton
okatee
they
were
both
apartment.
Rentals
and
two
families
did
opt
to
leave
the
area
completely.
AA
One
went
back
home
to
Wisconsin,
we'll
wish
them
well,
this
winter
and
one
Family.
Actually,
they
were
on
here
on
a
Visa
and
their
visa
had
expired
and
they've
returned
to
the
Bahamas
traditional
families.
In
addition
to
these
eight
report
to
us
that
they
have
found
alternative
housing,
they
just
have
not
relocated
yet.
So,
if
you
do
the
math,
that
leaves
the
universe
of
families
that
we've
been
working
with
19
families
who
do
remain
at
chimney,
Cove
and
report
to
us
that
they
continue
to
look
for
housing.
AA
They
have
just
not
been
able
to
find
anything.
Yet
we
do
have
emergency
funding
to
help
them
with
that
relocation.
They
just
can't
find
anything
for
report
that
they
would
prefer
to
to
rent
an
apartment
here
on
the
island.
Four
said
that
they
are
deep
into
the
investigation
process
of
what
it
takes
to
purchase
a
mobile
home
and
then
find
a
place
for
it
on
the
island,
the
other
11
families
just
say
they
don't
care
what
kind
of
housing
they
find.
They
just
really
want
to
stay
on,
Hilton
Head.
AA
So
that's
the
interim
report
we'll
be
happy
to
share
additional
reports
in
another
30
to
40
days.
My
Takeaway
on
this
is
these
folks
do
want
to
stay
here.
They've
been
working
at
it
hard
we've
had
some
successes,
but
there
are
more
people
still
there
than
have
been
able
to
find
places.
So
if
we
could
just
find
a
few
more
places
for
them
on
their
Island,
they've
demonstrated
what
great
residents
they
are.
AA
AB
Afternoon
Council
mayor
George
paletta,
live
in
Sea
Pines
Plantation
I'm,
very
happy
to
see
that
the
discussion
on
the
North,
Point,
Public,
private
Workforce
housing,
is
moving
forward.
I
personally
believe
this
project
would
take
five
years
to
implement
to
with
fruition
and
knowing
how
government
works,
knowing
how
the
details
and
the
rules
have
to
be
implied
applied.
AB
AB
I
recently
went
to
one
of
the
biggest
boondoggles
Hilton
Head
has
ever
seen.
Aquaman
Aquaman
was
supposed
to
be
Workforce
housing
for
our
workers,
nurses,
doctors,
whatever
from
the
hospital
which
got
a
big
resounding
thing
of
oh
yeah.
Well,
a
one
bedroom
is
2
000
a
month
plus
plus
that's
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
be
after
tax
money.
AB
The
three
bed
two
bedroom
is
36
000
after
tax
money
and
the
three
bedroom
is
48
000
a
year
plus
plus
plus
the
administration
fee
is
500,
the
application
is
150,
the
garage
is
250,
a
dog
is
25
a
month,
plus
an
initial
fee
of
175.,
so
that
we
have
that
bull
of
which
we
were
supposed
to
get
a
number
of
Workforce
housing
or
low
income.
Housing
I
would
like
to
know
how
many
units
have
been
designated
and
what
is
the
rent
for
those
units?
AB
The
other
thing
is
that
we
have
chimney
Cove
sitting
there
just
sitting
there
right
now,
it's
time
to
move
on
it,
move
on
Chimney
Cove.
It
has
to
be
fast
tracked
and
it
can
be
done.
You
have
investors
in
this
community.
You
have
very
wealthy
people,
you
have
Banks
and
you
also
have
opportunity
to
get
outside
funding.
We
cannot
wait.
Five
years
for
a
template
on
what
you
want
to
do
for
the
future
and
I
will
bet
one
hundred
dollars
with
any
one
of
you,
including
interest
that
this
project
will
not
finish
in
five
years.
AC
Mr
Mayor
members
of
council
Mr
Town
manager,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
I'm
here
very
briefly,
and
simply
today
to
say
thank
you.
You
have
taken
plenty
of
criticism
over
the
months
and
years
on
the
issue
of
Workforce
housing.
Today
is
a
day
to
say
thank
you
for
what
you've
done
to
get
us
to
this
point
with
the
framework
for
moving
ahead
at
its
core.
This
housing
issue
is
a
simple
one:
to
grasp
to
be
a
great
Community.
You
need
a
great
Workforce
to
get
a
great
Workforce.
AC
You
need
to
find
and
attract
capable,
happy
workers
to
attract
those
capable
happy
workers.
You
need
good,
safe,
affordable
housing
for
them
to
live
in.
You
are
getting
to
that
point.
The
the
rationale
is
simple.
We
know
the
execution
is
difficult.
There
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
urgency,
that's
needed
to
move
this
forward
and
some
bold
smart
thinking
as
we
go
along,
but
today
just
thank
you.
Thank
you.
AD
First,
we
thank
you
all
for
putting
Workforce
housing
at
the
top
of
your
priority
agenda
and
moving
quickly
to
address
the
critical
components
to
solving
the
housing
issues.
It
is
of
utmost
importance
to
the
entire
community
and
the
Arts
Council
strongly
supports
your
efforts
regarding
Workforce
housing.
AD
AD
The
towns,
Arts
and
Cultural
organizations
have
not
had
an
opportunity
to
have
a
dialogue
to
understand
the
potential
impact
of
this
resolution
on
their
atax
grants.
Depending
on
how
such
a
change
is
implemented,
it
could
have
a
significant
impact
on
funding
for
our
Arts
and
Cultural
Community,
as
well
as
those
across
the
state.
AD
There
should
be
public
stakeholder
input
before
asking
our
state
delegation
to
pursue
this,
so
we
are
requesting
that
the
vote
on
this
item
be
deferred.
The
Arts
Council
leadership
would
very
much
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
meet
and
work
with
Town,
Council
and
staff
on
this
subject
to
move
this
forward
quickly.
A
AE
A
AE
Your
name,
please
sure
my
name
is
Cheryl
cave
and
yeah
I'm
here
in
reference
to
the
petals
and
stars
entrepreneur,
Day
pop-up
Market.
This
is
to
lighten
the
load
a
little
bit.
So
you
guys
I
really
do
appreciate
the
opportunity
mayor
McCann,
to
address
the
council
and
to
invite
you
to
this
event.
It's
an
event
for
kit.
AE
It's
fun
they're,
going
to
be
out
selling
everything
from
golf
balls
to
slime
to
cupcakes
at
The,
Shelter,
Cove,
Community,
Mark,
Park,
it's
going
to
be
November
20th
I
do
have
Flyers
that
I
could
leave
for
you
guys
it
is
a
fun
event
and
the
third
one
this
year,
the
first
well,
the
second
one
that
we
had
was
on
the
campus
of
uscb,
Bluffton
and
mirasolka
came
out
the
greater
chamber
of
Bluffton,
a
greater
Bluffton
chamber.
Commerce
came
out
super
fun.
Super
fun.
Kids
had
a
great
time,
a
lot
of
them
what
they
sold.
AE
They
went
back
and
bought
from
the
other
vendors
that
was
there,
but
that's
okay.
They
had
fun,
so
lots
of
families.
Lots
of
parents
get
involved
with
it
and
we
really
would
love
to
see
you
guys
there
featuring
this
event
will
feature
Rick,
Hubbard
and
Young
and
Restless.
So
he's
going
to
be
out
playing
some
Lively
music,
so
everybody
can
come
and
enjoy
so.
A
That's
it.
Thank
you
just
give
them
the
Christmas
joke
with
the
mouth
sure
I.
Thank
you
for
the
time.
Thank
you
very
much
the
consent
agenda.
For
today
we
have
two
items
on
the
consent
to
gender.
We
like
to
keep
them
together
for
one
vote.
Are
there
anybody
who
wants
them
changed,
separated
discussed
for
anybody
unique.
A
N
A
A
A
AF
A
A
D
D
You
know
I've
heard
business,
license
fees
potentially
being
increased.
A
good
Senator,
Tom
Davis
has
asked
us
to
help
him,
make
the
request
at
the
state
level
and
I'm
hearing
out
loud.
The
concerns
about
potentially
some
unintended
consequences
here,
but
I
think
this
opens
the
door
for
us
to
have
a
dialogue.
I
think
that
the
demand,
what
amounts
of
funding
that
we
will
need
to
accomplish
this
goal
May
and
increase
our
attacks
or
H
Tax
from
a
percentage
level.
D
We
don't
know
the
answer
to
that
yet
and
I'm
going
to
trust
us
as
a
council
and
our
town
manager
that
when
the
time
comes,
that
we
start
to
be
able
to
use
a
tax
monies
in
a
different
manner
that
we're
not
going
to
look
to
replenish
the
activities
that
come
from
our
non-profits
I
think
that's
important
to
our
economy.
It's
important
to
do
with
our
community
operates
so
Robin
Peter
to
pay
Paul
is
not
the
intent
here
as
the
way
I
read
it.
D
Okay,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
the
public
is
having
some
confidence
that
we
are
now
opening
the
door
for
a
dialogue
with
file
state
delegation
to
change
it.
It
needs
to
be
changed
with
that
being
said,
we've
got
another
item
on
here
today
around
housing.
That
I
think
we
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
intimately
about
what
we
can
control
as
far
as
funding
is
concerned
without
having
going
to
the
state
level.
So
those
are
my
comments.
AF
It's
gone.
Thank
you.
We
have
identified
Workforce
housing
as
a
top
priority
here
on
this
island,
we're
also
working
to
generate
as
many
different
sources
of
revenue
to
fund
this
issue
that
we
can
possibly
find.
This
is
not
an
allocation
of
funds
to
Workforce
housing.
This
is
merely
asking
the
legislature
to
alter
the
laws
so
that
this
could
be
considered
when
we
get
around
to
time.
To
consideration
of
that,
we
will
certainly
be
listening
to
everyone,
we're
not
taking
a
dime
away
from
anyone.
AF
A
F
Clearly,
as
you
look
at
the
numbers
and
I
think,
maybe
a
lot
of
people
in
the
public
have
haven't
had
that
opportunity.
This
is
clearly
clearly
not
a
situation
where
we're
robbing
from
Peter
to
pay
Paul.
The
Arts
are
very
important
to
this
community.
There
are
a
lot
of
things
that
are
very
important
and
it's
not
the
intent
to
diminish
support
for
one
in
favor
of
another.
F
S
The
challenge
for
Workforce
housing
is
directly
related
to
the
number
of
people
who
visit
the
island
and
that
direct
correlation
is
one
reason
why
it
makes
sense,
at
least
to
me
why
Accommodations
Tax
and
to
somewhat
of
a
lesser
degree,
Hospitality
tax,
is
a
part
of
solving
the
revenue
side
of
the
workforce,
housing
challenge
tourists
pay
that
money
into
our
economy
and
I
think
it
makes
imminent
sense
for
them
to
contribute
to
solving
the
workforce
housing
problem
through
those
revenues.
Thank
you.
Thomas.
T
Thank
you.
I
want
to
point
out
to
those
concerned
about
the
grant
funding
for
arts
and
culture
that
this
proposed
legislation
does
not
use.
The
word
redirect
we
are
expanding
the
uses
of
these
tax
revenues
and
the
entire
source
of
hospitality,
tax
and
Accommodations
Tax
over
the
past
three
years
has
grown
disproportionately
to
the
uses,
and
in
my
judgment
this
makes
a
lot
of
sense
in
expanding,
not
redirecting
our
ability
to
use
these
expanding
sources
of
revenue.
V
We
all
know
Workforce
workhouse
housing
is
important.
Workforce
housing
is
important.
We
all
know
that
there's
never
been
an
audit
on
any
of
the
a
tax
monies
or
the
hospitality
tax
monies.
We
all
know
that
the
aid
tax
monies
are
distributed
to
non-profits
illegally.
We
all
know
that
that
they're
distributed
to
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
Bill
Miles
without
any
audit
or
any
idea
of
where
this
money
is
going.
We
know
that
a
million
dollars
has
been
taken
to
Canada
of
atax
funds.
We
know
it's
illegally
used,
we
know
it's
illegally
issued.
V
So
what
I'm
calling
for
is
a
defunding
of
the
three
or
four
million
of
Bill
Miles
and
the
Chamber
we
don't
need
it
anymore.
Technology
creates
the
tourism
that
we
have
here
for
free.
It's
a
new
world.
The
DMO
model
is
an
old
failed
business
model.
It
doesn't
work,
we
don't
need
it
Facebook
does
it
for
free,
so
get
rid
of
this?
Let
the
chamber
go
back
to
just
being
a
chamber
representing
plumbers:
electricians,
beauty,
salons,
a
chamber
is
not
supposed
to
be
involved
in
any
of
this,
get
rid
of
it.
V
Take
the
money-
and
let's
put
all
that
money
to
this-
to
the
workforce,
housing
and
and
things
that
make
sense.
You
know
we
have
what's
the
population
Now
50,
60,
000,
permanent
population,
I,
don't
know
we
got
three
million
tourists
coming
here.
We
got
one
road,
all
the
way
to
I-95.
We
got
enough,
we
got
enough
and
all
this
Workforce
housing
has
been
created
because
it's
over
development
we've
just
gone
too
far.
We've
allowed
too
much
but
we're
in
we're
in
it.
V
Now
we
can't
get
out,
we
can't
go
back,
so
we
got
to
look
forward.
So
yes,
we
need
that.
We
need
a
lot
of
things,
but
let's
defund
Bill
Miles
I
guarantee
you
I
will
put
50
000
of
my
money
on
the
line.
If
the
same
amount
of
tourists
is
not
created,
making
Bill
Miles
go
back
to
running
a
chamber
and
getting
rid
of
the
DMO
and
putting
those
tax
monies
to
the
benefit
of
all
of
us.
You'll,
never
notice
a
difference.
It'll,
never
change!

AG
Good
afternoon,
gentlemen,
I
see
that
the
lady
is
missing.
My
name
is
Miriam
manetti
and
I've
been
a
resident
of
Hilton
Head
for
23
years
now,
and
when
I
came
here
in
2000
as
a
realtor
and
I
was
asked
to
serve
on
some
committees
for
The
Association
of
Realtors,
and
they
asked
me
to
serve
on
two
and
one
was
community
service
and
they
wanted
me
to
serve
on
another
one.
My
question
was:
who
helps
poor
people
and
low-income
people?
AG
Is
there
a
committee
and
I
was
told
there
wasn't
one
and
I
said
we
should
have
one
and
the
person
told
me
well.
If
you
want
one,
why
don't
you
start
it?
So
in
2000,
I
was
the
founder
of
the
affordable
housing
committee
for
the
Hilton
Head
area.
Association
of
Realtors
and
I
also
worked
with
Joan
mustard,
who
at
that
time
was
the
director
for
the
Lowcountry,
CDC
and
I.
AG
Can
you
imagine
that
today
house
under
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
Bluffton,
so
that
being
said,
I'm
hearing
talk
about
this
resolution
and
I
have
some
questions
about
it,
but
I'm
sure
they
can't
be
answered
now,
but
have
you
sought
any
funding
beyond
the
state?
I
know
that
HUD
does
fund
the
state
when
it
comes
to
housing
and
that
there
is
money
available.
AG
So
that
is
a
question
that
I
would
like
to
have
a
follow-up
on
and
I
would
like
to
thank
you
all
for
continuing
after
20
some
years
to
keep
talking
about
affordable
housing
and
I
agree
with
the
people
in
this
audience.
That's
been
a
long
time.
I
have
a
granddaughter
that
came
here,
she's
graduating
from
college
next
year
and
it
hasn't
been
settled.
Yet
we
need
to
do
something.
Not
it
doesn't
have
to
be
big
start
small,
don't
eat
that
elephant
all
at
once.
One
bite
at
a
time.
Thank
you.
A
AH
You
have
all
very
eloquently
stated
that
this
resolution
will
only
ask
our
delegation
to
implement
and
propose
legislation
at
the
state
level.
There
will
be
adequate
dialogue
at
that
level
to
address
all
of
those
concerns
and
I
would
urge
you
to
pass
this
resolution.
We
are
way
behind
the
curve
on
this
particular
item
and
we
need
to
get
ahead
of
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
You
all
make
a
very
valid
points.
Speaking
about
changing
the
attacks,
however,
I
don't
see
how
this
makes
any
sense
without
changing
the
30
to
dmos.
If
you
want
really
want
to
free
up
this
atax
money,
that
is
something
that
has,
you
know,
been
a
restraint
all
along
and
so
and
also
for
other
towns
too.
They
should
be
able
to
determine
how
much
money
they
want
to
spend
on
that
as
well.
So
I
would
urge
you
to
to
make
that
part
of
this.
AI
AI
These
apartments
are
not
affordable,
they've,
most
of
them,
the
majority
have
been
turned
into
bed
and
breakfasts.
The
rent
is
one
thousand
eight
hundred
a
month
or
two
thousand
two
hundred
a
month.
Who
allowed
this
to
happen?
You
a
normal
person
who
lives
here,
cannot
get
a
condo
and
no
tourists
can
afford
it,
because
there's
eight
or
ten
of
them
who
put
their
credit
cards
together
their
money
together
they
have
ten
thousand
dollars.
They
can
easily
afford
these
condos
or
a
house.
AI
So
I
want
to
know
what
happened.
Who
dropped
the
ball
on
this?
A
new
person
coming
to
Hilton
Head
cannot
find
an
apartment
or
condo
why
this
is
a
chimney
coat
issue.
If
that
did
not
come
up,
would
y'all
be
sitting
here
doing
trying
to
do
affordable
housing?
It
should
have
been
done
a
long
time
ago
in
the
next
10
years.
AI
The
rent
will
be
3,
000
or
5
000
a
month.
If
you
don't
do
something
and
we
need
this.
Affordable
housing
approved
I
heard
the
lady
from
deep
well
say,
like
50
people
have
found
places
or
whatever,
but
I
thought
there
were
300
people
being
displaced
from
chimney
Cove.
What
about
the
rest
of
them?
What
are
they
still
at
chimney?
Cove,
you
know
this
is
an
important
issue
that
should
not
have
been
put
on
the
Shelf.
AI
AI
A
D
A
A
D
I
apologize
because
I
went
back
and
watched
the
FNA
meeting
from
July
19th
when
we
talked
about
this
and
and
I
missed
these.
These
points
so
I
want
to
bring
them
out
tonight
for
discussion
and,
of
course
not
everybody
on
Council
was
there
for
this
conversation
regardless,
so
the
impact
fees,
I
guess
the
the
first
concern
I
have
is,
as
we
start
to
get
in
this
world
of
housing.
D
Okay
and
you
start
to
look
at
the
menu
of
impact
fees
that
definitely
will
affect
us
being
able
to
put
housing
on
the
ground.
Okay,
so
the
the
abate
process-
I'm,
not
quite
clear
on
all
right
I
need
Clarity
on
that.
How
do
we
put
folks
that
are
in
a
position
to
put
affordable
housing
on
the
ground,
be
in
a
position
to
Abate
those
those
fees?
D
That's
maybe
too
far
in
the
weeds,
but
I
think
it's
important,
because
Mr
Landon
has
been
doing
a
bang-up
job
with
trying
to
provide
better
customer
service
for
those
that
want
to
do
business
on
Hilton
Head
and
we
don't
need
an
additional
hurdle
along
the
way,
and
in
the
last
that
there's
talk
on
page
five
about
Representatives.
That
will
talk
about
the
priorities
of
the
expenditures
of
these
impact
fees.
I,
don't
know
who
those
representatives
are.
D
AJ
Good
evening
Mr
Mayor,
Mr,
Orlando
members,
Council
so
I
understand
you
have
three
separate
questions,
so
I'll
try
to
take
those
in
order,
the
first
one
being
the
relationship
with
Workforce
and
affordable
housing.
So
as
the
impact
fee
program
exists
today,
there
is
currently
already
an
exemption
for
qualified,
affordable
housing
developments
and
it's
based
upon
a
sliding
scale.
AJ
So
the
more
affordable
the
units,
the
more
it
qualifies
for
a
credit,
and
so
this
intergovernmental
agreement
that's
proposed
today
would
not
change
that
existing
program,
and
my
understanding
is
that
that
credit
is
in
line
with
enabling
legislation
that
was
passed
to
the
state
that
provides
for
it
and
then
that
credit
is
provided
by
Beaufort
County,
since
they
are
the
ones
that
are
providing.
So
ultimately,
there
wouldn't
be
any
kind
of
impact
on
the
affordable
housing
nature.
As
long
as
you've
got
a
qualified
development
that
would
otherwise
meet
those
criteria.
AJ
AJ
So
what
would
happen?
Is
anybody
who
is
looking
to
build
new
development,
because
a
lot
of
existing
development
does
not
require
an
impact
fee,
but
anybody
who's
looking
to
build
new
development
would
need
to
go
to
the
county,
show
them
what
type
of
development
they're
looking
for
the
county
would
calculate
the
impact
fees
that
are
due.
AJ
They
would
collect
that
impact
fee
provide
a
receipt,
and
then
the
obligation
for
the
town
is
to
check
and
verify
that
the
receipt
has
been
provided
prior
to
issuing
a
building
permit
and
based
upon
our
conversations
with
Beaufort
County,
it's
their
intent
to
create
an
online
portal.
That
would
allow
that
to
happen.
So
you
wouldn't
require
to
go
to
physically
one
of
the
counties
buildings.
You
would
be
able
to
go
online,
submit
your
paperwork,
get
a
copy
of
your
impact
fees
that
are
due
pay
them
and
get
a
receipt
and.
O
D
I
guess
where
I'm
going
as
far
as
our
agreement
is
concerned,
I
understand
it's
their
intent.
I
would
like
to
force
that
by
having
it
a
part
of
the
agreement,
because
I
mean
I,
don't
want
folks
that
want
to
do
business
on
Hilton
Head
have
to
travel
all
the
way
to
Beaufort.
Yes,
sir
and
I
mean
you
show
up
and
you've
got
one
document
less
the
requirement.
Now
you
got
to
make
another
trip.
AJ
AJ
D
AJ
I'm
going
to
break
this
in
half
because
we're
dealing
with
two
separate
impact
fees-
one
is
Library
the
library,
the
service
area
for
the
library
is
exclusively
Hilton,
Head
Island,
so
we
are
only
dealing
with
the
Hilton
Head
Branch,
the
CIP
Improvement
plan.
That
is
a
that
is
created
by
the
library
board
for
that
particular
facility.
AJ
That
is
the
list
of
projects
that
impact
fees
would
be
eligible
to
be
spent
on
when
it
comes
to
the
transportation
impact
fees,
the
county,
the
town
provided
the
county
with
a
list
of
its
CIP
projects,
and
there
was
a
spreadsheet
that
was
included
at
the
committee
level
that
outlined
those
projects
again,
as
the
fees
are
collected,
those
fees
would
then
be
eligible
for
those
projects.
There
is
no
ranking
or
hierarchy
list,
of
which
ones
comes
first.
D
D
But
the
production
of
that
conversation
is
what
I'm
concerned
about
it's
one
thing
to
have
the
information
come
before
us.
We
talk
about
it
and
we
send
it
back
to
the
county,
but
being
a
part
of
those
discussions,
because
it's
going
to
be
our
folks
that
are
paying
into
the
system.
Okay,
I'm,
just
not
a
hundred
percent
comfortable
with
that
process,
is
how
the
information
gets
back
and
how
the
party
lists
will
be
dealt
with
right
and
I
hear
what
you're
saying
Josh
you've
only
given
us
what
you
know:
I
get
it,
but
again.
AJ
AJ
E
F
D
D
B
F
B
F
AF
T
A
AF
Yes,
this
is
what
went
through
the
finance
and
administrative
committee.
All
I
was
trying
to
do
is
to
clarify
the
exact
dollar
amounts
going
into
each
of
the
two
alternate
funds,
we're
receiving
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
Good
Neighbor
funds
and
all
I'm
saying
is
instead
of
saying,
it'll
go
partially
to
One,
Fund
and
partially
to
another
that
we
have
the
dollar
amount
going
into
one
and
the
balance
going
to
the
other.
That's
the
sole
purpose
of
my
amendment.
In
addition
to
the
five
million
dollars.
AF
This
doesn't
make
reference
to
the
five
million
dollars,
but
it
would
be
in
addition
to,
and
why
do
you
want
to
do
that,
because
we've
identified
well,
first
of
all,
all
I'm
doing
is
clarifying
the
dollar
amounts
Mr
Mayor,
but
we
have
certainly
identified
that
the
Regional
Housing
Trust
Fund
is
a
vital
and
important
tool
for
the
town
to
use
to
work
on
our
Workforce
housing
project.
Secondly,
we've
identified
the
strong
need
for
the
Community
Development
Corporation
to
deal
with
trying
to
fund
improvements
to
the
historic
communities
here.
F
R
I
V
You
I'm
all
for
the
galagichi
Community
I've,
been
here
47
years,
I'm
for
affordable
housing,
I'm
for
a
lot
of
things,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
worthy
to
help,
but
I
caution.
All
of
you
as
a
lawsuit
that
I
just
filed
against
you
for
the
for
the
public
funds
used
in
in
Sea
Pines
propagated
community
you've
got
to
be
careful
because
state
law
is
very
specific.
It
says,
and
it's
a
Supreme
Court
ruling
and
it
was.
V
It
was
won
by
one
of
my
current
lawyers
up
in
Greenville
that
states
that
you
cannot
use
public
funds
for
private
purposes.
It's
not
for
the
public,
good
reason,
use
and
reason
you
can't
just
use
public
funds.
Just
for
anything.
You
can't
fund
a
lot
of
non-profits
because
it's
worthy
and
it
sounds
it's
heartfelt.

I'd
like
to
amend
that
okay
I
move
that
we
approve
the
resolution
adopting
the
workforce
housing
framework,
with
a
condition
that
the
town
manager
identify
a
minimum
of
one
million
dollars
in
recurring
funds
to
be
utilized
for
the
implementation
of
the

framework
and
similar
Workforce

objectives.
Commencing
with

2023
budget
year,.
A

I,
don't
know
early
90s,
I,
guess
right
and
it
keeps
bubbling
up
and
it's
made
its
way.
You
know
in
and
out
of
committee
and
that
sort
of
thing
I'm
asking
that
moving
forward
there'll
be
a
place
holder
on
the
town
council's
agenda
under
the
town
manager's
report
for
housing.
Okay,
that
keeps
the
ball
right
in
front
of
us.
Mr
Orlando's
done
a
great
job
of
workshopping
what
he
needs
to,
but
having
it
in
front
of
us
so
that
the
public
knows
exactly
what
we're
doing
at
every
meeting.
A
E
Part
of
the
critical
next
steps
as
part
of
the
housing
framework
in
your
packet
and
available
for
the
community.
Some
of
those
next
steps
are
for
me
to
put
together
a
a
annual
funding
plan
right,
assess
revenues
and
put
together
that
fund
plan
I'll
incorporate
that
million
dollars
this
fiscal
year.
I
have
some
thoughts
on
where
I
can
move
some
funds
around
to
accomplish
that
and
then
bring
that
forward
as
well
into
the
next
fiscal
year
through
the
budget
process.
Okay,.

Just
just
for
clarity,
if
you,
if
you
go
to
our
website

click
on
our

for

there
are
live

on
all
of

items,
the

being
one
item:
if

There
are
four
goals,
several
strategies
and
even
more
next
steps,
it's
very
clear
in
there
what
that
packet
is,

for

would
you
like

S
We
had
a
Marathon
at
a
Sprint
Pace
for
the
last
65
days
and
produced
this
framework
that
we
as
a
community,
failed
to
produce
over
the
years.
What
is
so
extraordinary
about
this
framework
is
that
it
is
a
comprehensive
commitment
to
solving
the
workforce
housing
problem.
Up
to
this
point,
we've
been
shooting
at
a
single
Target.
S
A
AF
I
think
that
there
is
some
concern
about
what
this
means.
Does
it
mean
we
are
approving
construction
of
the
project
starting
soon?
No
we're
simply
approving
the
concepts
outlined
in
the
plan
by
the
extensive
team
of
experts
that
have
been
there.
So
we
know
what
it
could
look
like
and
then
we
will
implement
it
in
installments
over
time
as
funding
is
available
and
Council
approves.
A
AF
V
Comment
is
after
living
here
for
47
years.
Why
did
we
not
develop
a
master
land
plan
40
years
ago
to
prevent
us
to
being
in
the
situation
that
we're
in
with
the
traffic
and
the
over
development
and
so
forth,
and
so
on?
The
environmental
impacts,
I
just
don't
get.
Why
we're
now
doing
that?
I?
Guess
it's
better
than
nothing,
but
does
that
mean
that
we're
going
to
develop
more?
Does
it
mean
there's
more
development,
more
roads,
more
cars
on
the
road,
more
housing
needed
you
know
what's
got
us
here?
V
Is
the
Kick,
the
Can
down
the
road
politicians,
the
developers,
the
chambers,
everybody
greed,
money,
money,
money,
nobody
considering
the
environment,
nobody
considering
the
fact
that
we
got
one
road
and
one
Bridge,
all
the
way
to
I-95
and
Bluffton
and
hardyville
they're
doing
the
same
thing.
You
got
that
leadership
in
Bluffton
with
Lisa
Selco
she's
a
real
estate
agent.
All
we've
had
for
Mayors
for
the
last
35
40
years
as
lawyers
Builders
developers.
It's
just
been.
It's
just
been
a
disaster.
You
know
when
I
came
here.
V
47
years
ago,
I
came
here
for
the
Charles
Frazier
vision
of
a
high,
a
low
density
high-end
Resort
retirement
community
with
the
environment
to
be
where
we
could
eat
the
oysters
we
could,
we
could
enjoy
a
clean
environment.
We
destroyed
that
because
we
had
a
town
manager,
Steve
Riley
and
all
these
Mayors
and
all
these
conflicts
have
ended
us
here.
So
I'd
like
to
see
that
that
master
plan,
that
Mid
Island
master
plan
and
how
much
more
development
is
going
to
be
involved
in
that
you
all
got
to
wake
up.
We've
destroyed
this
poor
place.
