VII. ADJOURNMENT
A
To
the
august
24th
meeting
of
your
aiken
city
council,
we
appreciate
you
being
with
us
and
apologize
we're
starting
a
few
minutes
late,
because
our
executive
session
went
over
but
appreciate
your
patience
and
understanding
on
that.
At
this
time,
we're
going
to
have
our
invocation
and
our
pledge
I'm
going
to
ask
our
city
manager,
mr
stewart
beadenboe,
to
lead
us
in
our
invocation.
C
A
Meetings
with
public
forums
in
which
many
opinions
are
expressed
in
the
business
of
the
city
must
be
conducted
as
such.
Disciplined
honorable
and
professional
decorum
is
paramount.
Courteous
and
respectful
communication
is
expected
during
public
kings.
All
questions
and
statements
from
the
public
shall
be
directed
to
the
chair
and,
if
you
wish
to
speak,
please
raise
your
hand,
and
I
will
certainly
recognize
you.
F
A
A
A
A
C
C
One
is
a
historical
marker
for
our
rich
jewish
merchant
history
that
we
have
in
aitkin,
and
the
second
one
is
a
marker
that
will
go
in
front
of
the
lagree
morgan
house
on
lauren
street
known.
I
guess
most
recently
is
number
10
downing
street,
and
I
know
alan
you
have
with
the
for
the
jewish
merchant
marker.
Steve
silver
is
here,
who
we've
heard
from
on
past
things,
and
also
for
the
lagree
morgan
house.
I
H
H
H
Was
going
to
be
a
big
ceremony
at
usc
aiken
and
as
part
of
the
weekend,
we
were
going
to
unveil
this
historical
marker
at
the
green
morgan
house.
So
you
know
y'all
know
what
happened.
Of
course,
everything's
been
canceled
since
then
just
about-
and
it
looks
like
we're
going
to
have
to
cancel
our
next
meeting.
H
J
Actually,
I
do
have
a
comment,
mr
riddick.
Okay,
in
my
college
days,
I
used
to
work
at
number
10
downing
street,
and
I
would
have
to
recite
this
history
all
the
time,
so
it's
very
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
with
miss
ginny
and
miss
jan
when
they
owned
it
at
the
time
as
a
restaurant.
But
this
was
a
big.
This
is
a
big
deal
and
it
was
something
that
we
always
told
our
guests
proudly.
F
K
Good
evening,
fine,
thank
you
ellen.
We
absolutely.
We
ran
aiken
30
minutes
our
first
trip
through.
I
saw
that
the
how
lagree
morgan
house
was
for
sale.
We
had
no
idea,
or
we
were
even
looking
at
a
house
and
we
said
to
the
real
estate
gentleman
I
said:
can
we
I
want
to
see
this
house
we
weren't
there
30
minutes
before
we
put
a
contract
on
the
house.
Wow
and
within
10
days
had
closed
on
the
house.
K
It's
just
one
of
those
charming
properties,
and
I
have
to
tell
you
with
the
lovely,
charming
people
that
walked
past
that
house
every
day.
My
husband
said
to
me,
and
I
even
asked
stewart
I
said
stewart-
is
it
okay
for
me
to
serve
a
case
of
wine
a
week
as
long
as
you're
not
selling
it
because
and
my
husband's?
K
How
do
you
do
that
and
I
said
well,
people
walk
past
and
then
they
come
in
then
they
want
to
see
the
house
and
he
said
well
and
there
were
a
couple
of
people
there
and
he
said
who's
there
and
I
said,
I'm
not
sure
their
names,
he
absolutely
love
aiken
and
we
thank
you
all
so
much
for
the
hospitality
and
alan's
just
been.
I
mean
the
most
recent.
G
F
F
E
D
H
I
H
Were
discussing
this
and
that
about
it
and
and
they're
having
a
big
thing
at
the
museum,
a
big
exhibit
which
will
deal
mostly
with
the
merchants,
and
so
I'm
thinking
man.
Why
don't?
We
do
some
kind
of
historical
marker,
because
these
merchants
have
been
an
aching
forever
and
a
day,
and
so
so
they
started
raising
money
for.
L
H
And
stephen
has
done
all
the
research,
it's
unbelievable,
what
he's
done,
and
so
that's
kind
of
where,
where
this
started
and
and
basically
we
would
like
to
ask
permission
to
put
it
downtown
in
front
of
several.
There
are
several
stores
that
this
her
uraske
brothers
owned,
stephen's,
just
ancestors.
L
That,
I
think,
is
concierge
real
estate
and
folly.
So
those
those
three
stores
at
one
time
were
were
were
all
swarovski
brothers
stores.
So
that's
that
we
thought
that
might
be
an
interesting
site
to
to
place
the
marker.
But
the
marker
is
really
about
the
broader
history
of
the
jewish
merchants,
in
in
the
town
and
and
we've
identified
over
40
sites
in
town
that
at
one
time
had
jewish
merchant
ownership
and
in
the
1950s
there
were
over
20
stores.
At
that
time.
L
That
were
that
were
owned
by
jewish
merchants
and,
as
most
of
you
know,
the
the
the
those
those
families
and
people
in
those
families
were
very
active
in
the
civic
life
of
the
town
and
and
and
even
statewide
in
a
number
of
cases.
So
we're
trying
to
honor
that
history,
at
the
time
of
the
100th
anniversary,
both
in
a
in
an
exhibit
to
tell
that
history
of
the
jewish
community
here
at
the
museum
and
and
alan,
is
a
part
of
that
process.
L
A
number
of
the
the
the
we're
working
with
with
lauren
virgo,
who
runs
the
museum,
the
jewish
historical
society
of
south
carolina's
involved
in
supporting
what
we're
doing,
but
in
talking
to
alan,
we,
a
more
permanent
remembrance
of
that
might
would
be
the
idea
of
a
marker
in
town
and
there's
some
draft
verbiage.
That's
in
the
package
there's.
C
H
A
Well,
I
think
I
think
everyone
on
council
obviously
is
a
rich
part
of
our
heritage
and
yeah,
and
we
want
to
recognize
history.
I
think
it's
something
probably
we
could.
We
could
ask
staff
to
take
a
look
at
in
a
timely
manner
and
come
come
to
us
with
that
recommendation
so
that
we
could
approve
that
with
the
council
council
approval
and
get
that
get
that
moving
forward
for
you.
L
D
A
L
I
think
yeah
I
was
mentioning
to
alan
before
just
as
a
side
issue
of
we'll
see
where
we
can
find
some
folks
to
focus
on
it.
But
there
are
there's
a
very
rich
history,
obviously,
and
they
can
along
a
lot
of
dimensions
and
there
are
a
lot
of
markers
in
town,
but
the
the
idea
of
creating
some
walking
tours
of
some
of
those
markers.
M
A
C
A
A
K
G
E
M
J
A
All
right,
very
good,
moving
down
old
business
item
number
two:
this
is
a
second
reading
and
publishing
of
an
ordinance
authorizing
economic
development,
incentives
for
a
project
developed
by
wood,
woodford,
trace
s-c-l-l-c
by
title
and
ordinance
authorizing
certain
economic
development
incentives
pursuant
to
ordinance
number
08122018
of
the
city
of
aitkin
code
of
ordinances,
for
a
project
developed
by
woodford,
trace,
south
carolina
llc,
approving
an
economic
development,
inducement
and
incentive
agreement,
and
other
matters
related.
There,
too,
is
there
a
motion.
A
C
C
We
are
recommending
one
year's
worth
of
incentives
for
cost
not
to
exceed
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We
estimate
it'll
be
around
98
000
based
on
the
ordinance
and
any
it
is
a
reimbursement
one
year
after
co.
So
the
fees
include
building,
permit
fees,
water
and
sewer,
tap
fees
and
related
development
fees.
So
this
is
before
you
tonight
for
second
reading.

concept
plan.
A
C
You
we
do
have
this
item
before
you
tonight
for
a
second
reading,
and
one
comment
I
want
to
make
is:
I
know,
subsequent
to
first
reading,
we
we
did
put
this
in
your
packet.
We
received
a
letter
from
the
steeplechase
association.
They
submitted
this
to
us
from
their
environmental
consultant
regarding
the
blue
line
stream
and
it's
in
relation
to
item
number
two
of
the
conditions,
which
is
at
a
jurisdictional
determination
by
the
army
corps
of
engineers
being
provided
by
the
developer
and
any
other
land
disturbance
permitted
by
scd-heck.
C
C
C
A
A
C
C
C
It
looks
like
the
bids
for
the
project
came
in
well
under
that
came
in
around
291
thousand
dollars,
but
anyway
we
were
very
pleased
to
get
this
and
there
is
a
deadline
for
us
to
sign
this.
If
we
want
to
accept
it,
I
have
to
return
it
to
them
by
the
9th
of
september
so
and
we
were
they
were
nice
enough
to.
Let
us
know
about
30
days
prior
to
that
deadline.
A
G
C
F
A
F
C
As
a
teaser
for
our
next
meeting,
we
have
gotten
approval.
Finally,
we've
had
a
lease
a
proposed
lease
that
that
I've
been
working
with
the
fbo
on
for
more
time
than
I
care
to
admit,
but
the
faa
has
finally
approved
it.
So
that
means
we
bring
it
back
to
council
for
a
lease
extension
and
should
a
lease
extension
be
granted
to
the
fbo.
C
A
A
A
E
A
C
C
C
A
lot
of
those
are
paid
for
with
our
depreciation
money
earmarked
for
replacement
of
said
equipment
among
the
non-capital
items.
We're
recommending
a
four
percent
adjustment
for
all
first
responders.
I
there
are
night
approximately
90
sworn
officers,
but
when
you
factor
in
the
fire
personnel
and
dispatchers
it's
about
120
employees
to
keep
pace
with
the
sheriff
in
north
augusta
public
safety.
We
do
recommend
in
the
in
there
an
additional
one
percent
cost
of
living
for
all
employees,
including
public
safety
personnel,
and
we
recommend
designating
298
thousand
dollars
for
municipal
building
consolidation.
C
That
project
to
have
as
council
directed
us
when
we
purchased
the
building,
made
the
pass
the
agreement
to
purchase
the
building.
Once
it's
completed,
that
we
would
try
to
replenish
our
reserve
or
have
money
in
our
reserves
to
minimize
any
financing
that
needs
to
be
done.
We
also
recommend
that
the
water
and
sewer
fund
have
eighty
one
thousand
four
hundred.
Ninety
five
dollars
be
added
for
economic
development
projects
related
to
infrastructure,
and
we
recommend
replenishing
our
stormwater
depreciation
fund
260
thousand
dollars.
Those
are
the
highlights.
We
discussed
a
number
of
other
things.
C
D
I
do
have
a
question
to
help
me
understand
this.
Among
the
highlights,
you
got
four
percent
adjustment
first
responders.
One
percent
adjustment
for
all
employees,
then
two
hundred
ninety
eight
thousand
twenty
dollars
for
the
municipal
consolidation
and
then
81
495
dollars
for
the
water
and
sewer
and
then
260
thousand
dollars
for
storm
water.
D
C
Some
of
it
is
going
into
the
fund
for
the
cash
to
put
down
for
the
project,
and
then
a
portion
is
for
some
of
the
I.t
work
that
we'll
want
to
do
at
the
building.
That's
thirty!
Five
thousand
eight
hundred
ninety
dollars,
the
eighty
one
thousand
four
hundred.
Ninety
five
is
part
of
the
undesignated
or
excuse
me,
unspent
funds,
we're
recommending
that
we
put
in
for
economic
development
projects
for
infrastructure.
These
are
different
funds.
Remember
the
the
first
paragraph
is
general
fund
money.
I
C
The
second
paragraph
is
water
and
sewer
revenue
which
is
and
money
which
is
the
re.
The
primary
revenue
source
is
what
our
customers
pay
us
each
month
for
their
water
and
sewer
bill,
260
thousand
dollars
or
surplus
a
portion
of
that
going
to
our
stormwater
system
depreciation
fund.
That
fund
is
paid
for
by
the
monthly
fee
which
most
residential
owners
pay
7.90
a
month.
So
there
are
different
funding
sources.
C
C
The
507
000,
if
you
look
on
the
in
your
agenda,
it's
the
exhibit
a
the
the
exhibit
a
that's
in
the
carry
forward
requests.
Yep,
you
see
the
first
one
fund
one
and
then
you
see
the
various
items
a
lot
again.
Some
things
we've
already
ordered
like,
for
example,
public
safety
has
ordered
some
vehicles,
there's
back
orders
on
the
ford
motor
company
police
cruisers
and
I
think
that's
indicative
of
the
pandemic,
with
raw
material
availability
again
paid
for
with
depreciation.
C
Things
of
that
sort.
You've
got
the
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
for
the
pay
adjustment
for
public
safety.
First
responders
should
counsel
being
vote
for
that.
That
would
go
into
effect
in
the
first
payroll
received
by
those
individuals
after
october
1st,
and
then
we've
got
some
other
projects.
We've
been
working
with
the
chamber
on
our
geo
fencing
project,
that's
due
to
expire
at
the
end
of
this
year
and
then
just
various
other
items.
B
B
G
C
C
That
is
certainly
an
option.
Should
council
want
to
go
that
route?
We
just
recommended
doing
it
after
q1
of
the
fiscal
year,
so
it'd
be
in
effect
for
three-fourths
of
the
budget
year.
But
again
it
certainly
does
it's
still.
It
was
within
our
unspent
funds,
but
it's
something
again
a
date.
It's
a
floating
date.
It's
just
a
recommendation.
I
D
C
D
J
C
I
mean
we
like
the
hampton
avenue
sidewalk
project.
For
example,
if
you
look
down
it's
the
two
three
fifth
from
the
bottom
yeah,
that
project
is
almost
complete.
However,
we
do
not
pay
the
contractor
until
the
work
is
fully
done.
That
was
a
600
plus
thousand
dollar
project
and
it
was
not
done
by
the
close
of
the
fiscal
year.
So,
for
example,
with
that
project
I
mean,
if
you
want
to
put
it
in
reserves,
we
still
need
to
pay
for
the
work
done,
because
they're.
C
D
C
D
A
B
J
A
Like
to
point
out
with
public
safety
also,
you
know
there
are
only
employees
who
are
not
do
not
participate
in
our
in
our
city
retirement,
so
so
they're
actually
being
asked
by
the
state
to
contribute
more
each
year.
So
in
a
lot
of
ways,
this
is
just
offsetting
some
of
the
things
that's
being
put
on
them
for
that
retirement.
C
They
do
put
nine
and
point
seven
four
percent
of
their
pre-tax
pay
into
the
police
officer's
retirement
system.
I
know
this
is
something
I
will
say.
I
had
numerous
conversations
with
the
chief
and
I
think,
based
on
just
the
with
the
other
department,
I
mean
the
the
other
public
safety
and
law
enforcement
departments
around
you
know,
council.
I
A
All
right
very
good,
this
first
reading,
I
know
we
have
several
requests
for
information.
I
I
want
to
see
some
of
the
fun
balances
on
water
and
sewer
and
some
of
those
other
accounts
that
we're.
I
know
we're
moving
so
much
some
to
to
refund
appreciation.
So
I'd
like
to
see
what
that
fund
balance
is
also
but
okay.
J
J
A
This
is
first
reading,
so
all
those
in
first
reading
in
favor
of
the
first
ring
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
fy
2021
budget.
Please
raise
your
hand,
that's
councilwoman
price,
councilwoman
gregory,
the
mayor,
councilwoman,
diggs,
councilwoman,
all
those
opposed
as
councilman
waltz
and
councilman
jaredo.
The
motion
passes.
A
All
right
going
down
new
business
item
number
three.
This
is
the
first
ring
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
chapter
11
of
the
aitkin
city
code,
entitled
municipal
development
commission
by
title
ordinance,
amending
section
11-2
of
the
aitkin
city
code
regarding
the
membership
of
the
municipal
development
commission.
A
C
A
A
I
think
it's
just
a
matter
of
that.
We
have
confidence
and
faith
in
the
people
that
have
been
appointed
on
us
to
that
this
could
happen,
and
I
I
hope,
I'm
not
misstating
what
council
agreed
to,
but
I
think
at
this
point
we
want
to
pass
it
on.
We
want
to
present
it
at
first
reading,
but
I
think
we
want
to
even
amend
on
first
reading.
A
This
ordinance
change
so
that
it
would,
it
would
remove
the
three
council
members
ex-officio,
that's
not
to
say
that
we
can't
attend,
but
it's
just
to
remove
that
to
have
that
separation,
because
certainly
we
will
be
working
hand-in-hand
and
we'd
like
a
chance
if
it
passes
on
first
reading
to
work
with
the
commission
run
some
things
by
to
come
by
and
solidify
it.
But
we've
also
asked
staff
to
come
up
with
some
wording
that
would
empower
the
commission
to
come
up
with
its
own
bylaws
and
set
as
as
we
move
forward.

Mr
dangerfield,
what
we
discussed
in
the
work
session
was,
you
know
if
we
have
council
people
there
ex
official,
whatever
and
they're,
adding
to
the
discussion,
then
they
come
back
when
it
comes
to
us
when
you
bring
it
back
to
us,
then
there's
a
deficit,
a
learning
deficit,
an
information
deficit,
and
I
maintained
that
I
I
thought
it
was
better
to
just
let
you
all
work
on
it
and
then
bring
it
to
all
of
us
at
one
time
and
then
we're
all.
On
the
same
level.
G
N
J
I
I
D
Again,
my
concern
goes
to
go
into
aitkincourt.
Then
we
should
look
at
the
aiken
gore.
Yes,
and
are
we
doing
that
correctly
because
it's
the
same
thing
if
you've
never
been?
It
is
the
same
thing
and
quite
frankly,
I'm
not
going
to
go
because
now
they
can't
the
temptation.
Is
there
to
ask
you
a
question
which
they
do
in
aitkin
court
and
we
chime
right
in
and
talk
about
it,
which
I
don't
have
a
problem
with,
but
it
seems
that
there
is
a
problem.

The
city
engineer
approved
the
design
of
the
water
and
sewer
service.
The
site
and
landscape
plan
comply
with
our
tree
preservation
and
landscaping
regulations.
The
sign
be
ground
mounted
and
have
a
sign
area
of
no
larger
than
24
feet.
If
a
single
sign
or
the
combined
square
footage
of
a
double
sign
that
a
secondary
emergency
entrance
with
a
crash
gate
be
provided
and
if
possible,
function
as
a
construction
entrance
and
the
detention
pond
maintenance
road
and
that
a
traffic
analysis
study
be
approved
by
our
own
call,
traffic
engineer
and
dot.
A
Comments
from
council
all
those
in
favor,
please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous.
Thank
you.
I
have
number
200
petitions
and
requests.
This
is
a
resolution
to
purchase
property
at
1754
columbia,
highway
north
by
tyler
resolution
authorizing
the
purchase
of
attractive
land,
totaling
29.30
acres
located
at
1754
columbia,
highway
north.
Is
there
a
motion?
A
C
C
This
property
is
around
29.3
acres
and
will
adequately
meet
the
needs
for
a
new
plant.
The
acquisition
cost
is
215
000,
which
is
below
the
250
000
market
price,
and
is
it
appraised
value?
There
will
be
some
minor
environmental
cleanup
to
be
done
at
the
site.
There
was
a
former
small
non-chain
garage
on
the
northeastern
part
of
the
property
and
is
adjacent
to
the
old
landfill
east
on
gun
range
road,
and
the
cleanup
cost
will
be
much
less
substantial.
C
C
There
is
that's
a
crude
map
somebody
drew
and
the
water
plant
the
current
water
plants
in
the
center
left,
with
the
yellow
box
around
it
directly
across
the
height.
Thank
you
pointer.
That's
the
current
water
plant.
The
the
water
plant
proposed
purchase
is
there
and
to
give
you
some
idea.
Generations
park
is
down
back
yep
right
there.
So
that's
sort
of
the
rough
area
where
this
property
is
it's
been
for
sale
for
quite
a
while.
I
had
an
appraiser.
I
trust,
review
the
appraisal
and
that
was
appropriate.
C
C
C
C
The
second
thing
is,
the
mask:
ordinance
is
expires
september.
16Th
is
an
emergency
ordinance.
So
if
council
does
nothing,
it
will
expire
september,
the
16th
so
do
we
wish
to.
If
we
want
to
bring
the
mask
ordinance
back,
got
a
couple
of
options.
We
could
include
include
it
on
a
very
full
agenda
september
14th
or
we
could
potentially
have
it
as
a
special
meeting.
Maybe
thursday
september
10th
start
that
at
five
o'clock
one
item
only
which
would
be
renewal
of
the
mass
coordinates
be
an
emergency.
C
I
would,
unless
council
wants
to
do
it
as
a
traditional
two
reading
ordinance,
we
would
pursue
an
emergency
ordinance
to
extend
it
an
additional
61
days
and
should
a
majority
to
pass
that
if
you
would
add
the
61
days
on
to
the
expiration
date
of
the
first
ordinance,
so
it
would
expire
around
november,
15th
or
16th.
I
haven't
counted
the
days
yet,
but
would
council
prefer
to
have
it
have
this
as
a
standalone
special
meeting,
maybe
on
thursday
september
10th?
Or
would
you
want
to
include
it
on
the
regular
meeting
monday
september
14th?
C
A
C
C
The
finance
department
has
been
adding
accounts
to
bill
for
the
fire
fees.
They
have
added
all
accounts
that
are
identified
with
a
structure
on
the
parcel.
So
as
of
august
14th
and
again
based
on
council
questions,
last
time
we
have
added
4226
accounts
to
be
billed
both
with
and
without
water
service
of
those
accounts.
One
of
the
questions
we
got
last
time
was
how
many
lots
fall
into
the
category
of
the
max
billing.
C
C
We
added
only
61
of
those
were
added
in
2020
in
terms
of
they
were
not
billed
just
due
to
you
know,
for
it
was.
It
was
an
error
on
our
side
and,
as
I
noted
at
the
last
meeting,
any
mistakes
on
our
end,
we're
certainly
not
going
to
retroactively
bill
property
owners
for
our
mistake.
So
it's
just
going
forward.
C
So
only
six
percent
of
the
1049
again
1049
of
those
4
226
accounts
are
billed
at
the
maximum
of
45
dollars
a
month.
522
of
those
4
226
accounts
are
billed
at
the
minimum
of
12
a
month,
which
would
be
the
minimum
charge.
If
I
own
a
lot
that
has
no
improvement
on
it,
no
structure,
if
it's
just
a
little,
would
it
like
those
can
still
yeah.
J
J
J
J
J
Okay
and
I'm
sorry,
if
I
wasn't
clear-
probably
wasn't
clear-
that's
really
the
number
I
I
I'm
searching
for
miss
ivy,
who
is
you
know
she
has
been
very
passionate
and
done
so
much
homework
and
really
has
brought
a
lot
of
interesting
information
to
the
table
and
the
the
latest
was
a
state
statute.
Is
that
correct,
sir?.
C
J
C
Is
correct,
I
believe
I
mean
she
was
one
that
was
not
called,
I
mean,
I
know
we.
We
there
was
an
individual
that
lived
in
aiken
estates,
which
is
on
city
fire.
The
previous
owner
was
paying
fire
and
when
she
bought
the
house
four
years
ago,
we
never
billed
her
for
fire.
We
called
it
started
billing
her.
She
called
me
and
was
curious
about
this
charge
of
45,
and
I
explained
it
and
she
said
I
don't
like
it,
but
I
understand
it.
J
So
and
thank
you
for
clarifying
the
statute,
we
just
keep
getting
all
this
information
and
I
really
don't
know
how
to
I
want
to
be
fair.
Obviously,
but
I
mean
if,
like
miss
bros
said
you
know
it
it
kind
of
it's
what
it
is,
but
I
still
am
curious
about
how
many
people
fall
in
that
category
I
mean
you
could
just
email
that
to
me.
