B
B
Thank
you
mr.
Johnson,
and
mr.
McCaskill
appreciate
you
being
here
tonight,
I'd
like
to
go
over
the
guidelines
of
our
meeting
at
this
time.
Meetings
are
a
public
poem
in
which
many
opinions
are
expressed
and
the
business
of
the
city
must
be
conducted
as
such.
Disciplined
honorable
and
professional
decorum
is
paramount.
Courteous
and
respectful
communication
is
expected
there
in
public
hearing
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.
B
Please
approach
the
podium
and
state
your
name
and
address
an
award
order
to
allow
an
opportunity
for
everyone
who
wishes
to
address
council
speaker
should
limit
their
comments
to
the
subject
being
discussed
and
each
speaker
will
be
given
five
minutes
to
address
an
issue.
It
may
only
address
an
issue
once
unless
questions
from
Council
or
opposed
to
the
speaker.

Card
is
just
what
the
southern
City
Film
Festival
is
about.
It's
kind
of
save
the
date
and
we're
requesting
that
we
have
if
we
could
have
for
banners
placed
the
Richland,
Ave
and
Lawrence
Street
intersections
and
one
Park
Avenue,
whiskey,
Road
and
South
boundary
and
then
the
two
on
the
end
of
the
alley.
This
is
to
advertise
the
our
second
annual
southern
City
Film
Festival.
L
L
Atlanta
has
now
taken
over
from
both
Hollywood
and
New
York
City.
It
is
the
number
one
film
location
in
the
united
states
of
america,
and
so
Aiken
is
poised
on
the
edge
to
have
a
lot
of
film
industry
participants
close
by
our
local
area.
Last
year
we
brought
in
1500
people.
We
showed
40
films
this
year.
72
films
are
going
to
be
shown
over
three
full
days.
We've
been
working
with
the
welcome
center
on
I-20
so
that
they'll
have
information
about
this
working
with
the
South
Carolina
theatre
conference
that
brings
in
about
a
thousand
students.
L
We
will
be
running
shuttle
buses
from
the
USC,
a
campus
downtown.
So
hoping
you
know
this.
This
is
a
good
opportunity
for
for
inexpensive
family
fun,
five
dollar
film
tickets
and
we're
pleased
to
announce
that
this
year
we
are
going
to
be
using
the
Center
for
african-american
history,
art
and
culture
as
one
of
our
venues
for
the
Film
Festival,
giving
them
one
of
their
first
opportunities
for
a
broad
educational
opportunity
to
really
get
people
over
to
the
center
and
introduce
them
to
that
location.
K

Miss
Colleen
read
the

If
there's
any
questions,
I've
made
a
couple
brief
comments
about
it.
It's
on
the
gateway
to
the
city
on
Richland
Avenue.
D

One

of
three
in
the
United

about
20
350
visitors
from

The
next

That
is
an
amendment
very.
E
M
Mayor,
as
you
know,
at
your
request,
we
are
presenting
several
requests
tonight
through
a
budget
amendment
ordinance
based
on
several
unique
opportunities
to
promote
economic
activity
and
tourism.
This
year,
using
funding
from
the
hospitality
tax,
the
FY
2017
18
hospitality
tax
request,
the
following
$100,000
for
entryway
enhancements
$100,000
for
Parkway
improvements,
$60,000
for
three
local
museums
and
the
additional
request
that
was
just
discussed
in
terms
of
the
entryway
enhancements.
M
M
Entryway
signage
will
also
include
new
lettering
and
graphics
at
the
airport
to
properly
reflect
the
name,
change
from
Aiken
Municipal
Airport
to
the
Aiken
Regional
Airport.
At
the
present
time,
staff
is
in
the
process
of
obtaining
bids
for
the
work
and
will
amend
the
project
scope
if
required,
to
stay
within
the
budget
requested.
We
are
also
requesting
up
to
an
amount
not
to
exceed
$100,000
for
parkway
improvements
that
have
been
multiple
meetings
with
many
stakeholders
to
improve.
M
Parkway
connectivity
encourage
a
more
active
use
of
our
Parkway
system,
our
most
unique,
a
quakin
feature
while
maintaining
their
charm.
In
essence,
we
have
already
received
a
$25,000
donation
to
improve
lighting
put
in
walkways
in
a
gathering
area
for
the
take
parkway,
which
is
located
at
the
200
block
of
Park
Ave
South
West
between
Lawrence
and
Newbury.
This
money
would
help
us
complete
the
work
and
improve
other
Park
ways.
M
For
the
three
facilities,
in
addition,
the
the
the
amendment
that
was
offered
for
the
fourth
museum
as
well,
we
proposed
this
to
be
an
annual
payment
to
these
entities
directly
for
the
next
five
years,
budgeted
and
reviewed
by
the
council
each
year.
In
order
to
receive
these
funds,
the
three
museums
would
be
required.
M
Other
South
Carolina
municipalities
use
their
hospitality
tax
in
similar
fashions
and
we
have
included
in
the
agenda
item
mr.
mayor
the
comparative
list
of
columbia,
Spartanburg,
Charleston,
Anderson
and
Greenville.
These
municipalities
apportion
some
of
their
annual
Hospital
hospitality,
tax
proceeds
to
local
museums
and
other
similar
facilities
in
future
fiscal
years.
These
requests
would
only
be
considered
during
the
budget
preparation
process.
The
city
attorney
and
staff
will
be
prepared
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
on
this
item.
M
City
Council
approved
this
ordinance
on
first
reading
at
the
September
25th
2017
meeting
for
city
council
consideration
his
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
fiscal
year,
2017
18
hospitality,
tax
budget
and,
as
you
mr.
mayor,
we
have
representatives
from
all
of
these
entities
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have,
and
since
this
is
the
second
and
final
reading,
I
would
just
like
to
add
that
it's
been
an
honor
and
a
pleasure
to
work
with
all
of
these
entities
over
the
last
year
to
two
years.
M
Not
only
was
the
effort
called
akin,
together,
impressive
and
the
amount
of
private
sector
donations
that
they
were
able
to
raise,
but
they
also
employed
a
strategy
that
I
think
says
much
about
this
community.
Each
of
these
museums
could
have
gone
off
on
their
own
with
their
own
constituencies,
but
when
they
started
this
process,
they
agreed
to
join
hands
together
akin
together
to
make
this
work
and
I
think
that
not
only
reflects
very
highly
on
the
individuals
that
have
been
involved
with
this.
J
N
H
H
Conditions
are
section
3,
a
B
and
C
and
and
the
the
paragraph
preceding
a
B
and
C
the
last
sentence
in
order
to
receive
these
funds
and
three
museums
were
required
to
do
the
following.
Before
receiving
the
funds,
museums
will
provide
a
plan
on
how
the
funds
will
be
spent
and
the
spending
plan
is
and
that
this
fitting
plan
is
completed
by
each
museum,
the
copy,
the
guestbook
showing
off
visitors,
names
and
towns,
document
the
in
city
and
Iowa
City
residents
and
inclusions
city's
logo
or
Tourism
logo
on
the
website
and
in
marketing
pieces.
I
I
H
B
H
Would
be
as
long
as
were
giving
credit
to
people
and
not
to
be
too
self-serving,
but
mr.
Ebner
has
been
long
committed
to
the
to
the
Gaston
Gaston
livery
stable,
to
the
extent
that
he's
been
out
there
with
shovels
and
rakes
and
implements
of
destruction
of
various
types
that
that
he's
put
in
the
sweat,
equity
and
so
I
commend
him
for
that
along
with
these
other
folks,
but
that's
the
only
thing
I
only
question
I
had
mr.
mayor.
Thank
you.
Yes,.
D
Couple
comments
and
last
time
I
had
some
grumbles
and
I've
talked
to
some
staff
members
and
I
think
we've
that
staff
is
going
to
abide
by
the
next.
To
the
last
paragraph
that
the
city
of
manager
wrote
about
in
future
years
in
future
fiscal
years.
These
requests
will
be
considered
during
the
budget
preparation
process.
I
think
that's
very
important
that
we
do
that
and
then
the
so
that
was
my
main
grumble
about.
D
How
did
we
get
these
names
listed
so
once
we
do
that
in
the
future,
and
that
would
put
it
in
there
and
then
also
it
was
mr.
merry
or
somebody
in
the
home
okie
said
we
should
set
a
percentage
of
this
tax.
Part
of
that
so
I
think
that
needs
to
be
put
into
the
budget
for
next
time.
So
I
support
the
amendment
end
of
these
funds
and
that's
it's
the
group
out
here
knows:
I've
worked
with
all
of
these
groups
through
aching,
carp
and
directly
and
indirectly
on
all
three
of
them.
D
The
other
thing
we
have
committed
through
the
capital
project
sales
tax
is
two-way
signs
and
fixing
the
sidewalks
from
all
three
locations.
So
that'll
go
in
with
the
other
work.
That's
being
done,
so
you
can
go
from
one
to
the
other
on
a
walking
tour
and
we've
already
started
looking
at
that
kept
the
project
sales
tax
money
and
then
the
city
is
also
doing
some
way.
Sobs,
so
that'll
that'll
be
another
enhancement
for
the
connect
for
three
items
together:
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
thank.
D
B
Moving
down
to
number
four
under
old
business,
this
is
a
second
reading
of
public
king
of
an
ordinance
to
annex
property
at
the
corner
of
whiskey,
road
and
Daughtery
Run
Road
zoning
plan
commercial
and
improve
a
concept
plan
by
title.
This
is
an
ordnance
annex
property
owned
by
Marion,
but
but
you
chuck
and
to
zone
the
same
plan
commercial
PC
and
to
approve
a
proposed
concept
plan.
Is
there
a
motion?
Mr.
D
D
There's
been
a
lot
of
background
work
by
the
city
and
the
owner
and
the
developer
and
neighbors
around
that
area.
To
make
this
thing
happen
early
on,
when
we
first
met
in
early
part
of
the
year,
there
was
going
to
be
a
sleeve
put
in
for
the
sewer
line
for
this
particular
project
and
regarded,
as
is
turned
out.
The
Owens
Street
apartment
says.
D
And
so
the
sleeve
does
not
to
be
installed
by
the
city
project,
and
so
my
amendment
is
to
credit
the
developer
$10,000,
which
is
a
low
estimate
to
put
the
sleep
in
and
he
would
install
the
sewer
line
as
per
city
standard
of
Health.
For
the
project
to
install
the
sleeve
is
considerable
more
than
the
proposed
credit
I
guess.
Is
it
run
twenty
twenty-five
thousand
to
do
what
we
were
planning
to
do?
That's
when
I.
I
H
D
J
D
D
D
D
O
Yes,
my
name
is
Bill
Mosley
Mosley
real
estate
advisers
at
the
Charlotte
North
Carolina
26:12,
Danbury
Street.
Really,
nothing
has
changed
since
the
last
presentation,
except
for
the
request
for
the
reimbursement
on
the
sewer
extension
or
the
change
from
the
sewer
extension
from
the
sleeve,
and
that's
really
the
only
thing.
That's
changed
and
I
think
from
the
last
meeting.
O
The
plan
was
at
that
time
for
us
to
use
the
sleeve
with
the
apartment
complex.
So
when
we
were
up
here
two
weeks
ago,
that
was
what
plan
was
not
I.
Understand
that
changed
from
two
weeks
ago,
till
today
or
actually
last
week,
and
that's
that's,
what's
caused
the
request
and
I
have
nothing
to
do
with
the
apartment.
Complex
understand
the
Taco
Bell
go
and
it
was
all
part
of
the
negotiation
to
eliminate
the
sign.
That's
on
our
property
and
the
income
stream
from
that
sign.
It
was
all
part
of
that
original
negotiation.
J
D
D
O
O
H
Haire
absolute
first
is
there
in
any
of
our
packet.
Does
it
show
the
location
of
the
the
sleeve
anywhere?
Is
it
not
shown
anyway,
because
I'm
not
entirely
sure
I
mean
I
I
like
what
you
said
about
it
ultimately
serving
Daugherty,
but
that
may
means
this
go
in
parallel
to
the
new
right
turn
lane,
rather
than
under
well
I
would
thought
it
was
a
sleeve
I
would
have
thought
so,
but
I
don't
see
how
that
serves
Daugherty
more
because.
D
H
So
but
I
mean
did
all
the
details
of
that
or
they've
been
worked
out,
it's
doable,
it's
been
drawn
us
and
we
know
it
will
work
and
that
their
bite.
Okay,
next
question
is:
you
know.
Two
weeks
ago
we
had
both
the
package
presentation,
but
then
we
also
had
a
letter
of
submit
all
with
a
revision
to
the
site
plan
and
as
I
look
at
the
package
tonight,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
different
plans
and
I
I,
think
I
know
which
one's
the
right
one.
O
H
K
H
P
H
H
H
H
O
A
C
I'm
Andrew
from
the
Cask
former
resident
of
the
city
of
Aiken
I,
live
at
40.
Fun
would
drive
West
akin
to
1903.
It's
been
a
long
time
since
I've
come
to
the
City
Council
I.
Think
a
number
of
years
I
would
like
to
ask
the
City
Council
to
reject
this
plan.
I
Drive,
this
pathway
regularly
I
think
creating
a
business
that's
going
to
increase
in
and
out
traffic
there.
It's
simply
going
to
increase
a
danger
potential
where
tottaly
goes
into
whiskey.
C
C
You
know
I
believe
if
the
City
Council
looked
at
social
media
as
well
as
responses
akin
citizens,
the
akin
newspaper
I,
think
if
you
took
a
poll
of
the
residents
of
the
city,
I
think
you'll
find
that
frankly,
everybody
is
opposed
to
this.
It's
certainly
understand
the
developer
has
done
a
lot
of
work
he's
from
Charlotte,
not
from
Aiken
I.
C
Don't
think
he
recognizes
the
problem
that
we
have
with
the
truck
traffic
in
this
area.
You
know
the
Krispy
Kreme
when
that
red
light
comes
on
as
it
is
now.
You
take
your
life
in
your
hands
and
we
also
have
the
other
fast-food
place
next
to
it,
and
you've
got
a
left-hand
turning
lane
and
I.
Just
think
this
is
a
very
unwise
project
to
pursue
again
I
would
ask
every
city
council
member
check
with
your
constituents.
C
G
Name
is
Sabrina
page
I
live
at
one
on
one
with
mill,
Drive
apartment,
be
yourself,
come
on
chin
I,
don't
want
I,
think
talk
about
I
need
to
be
there.
It's
already
enough
Rick's
over
there
every
day
anyway.
So
what's
the
sense
not
putting
the
Taco
Bell
over
there.
Instead
of
coming
back
to
the
north
side,
a
lot
of
people
from
the
south
side
go
to
Northside
to
eat.
Taco
Bell
well,
I
put
not
put
Huckabee
all
right
there,
because
some
people
don't
want
to
just
drive
from
the
south
side
to
the
north
side.
G
H
H
Developments
go
on
property,
we
can't
pick
tell
somebody
who
they
can
sell
to
or
who
they
can't
sell
to.
As
long
as
it
means
zoning
and
as
a
legal
use,
city
I
can't
very
well
discriminate
against
that
and
I.
Don't
know
what
more
the
city
could
ask
with
that
property
than
to
push
then
to
limit
the
access
to
it
to
2
points
instead
of
the
entire
footage.
H
H
Cannot
and
should
not
intervene
in
a
private
property
sale
and
beyond,
limiting
the
the
access
to
it
ingress
and
egress
to
points
move
it
as
far
from
the
lights
as
possible
and
making
it
designated
directional.
Turning
only
there's
not
much
more,
the
city
can
do
there.
So
if
for
the
people
who
seem
so
concerned
about
it,
it's
really
a
matter
of
the
city
making
safer
a
piece
of
property
that
that
that
it
already
is
a
bit
of
a
traffic
problem.
D
K
Doctor
longer
is
leaving
and
before
dr.
Mulder,
if
you
wait
this
to
me,
I
just
want
to
thank
dr.
mole
nor
the
city
of
Aitkin
received
three
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
Lieutenant
governor
announced
that
and
that
came
from
his
agency.
So
he's
present
in
our
meeting
tonight
endorse
amount
of
council
government,
along
with
his
wife,
so
just
want
to
approach
me.
Thank
you,
dr.
Muller,
for
your
agency.
Pursuing
that
grant
for
us.

Moving
down
to

this
is
a
second

code
regarding

M
August
14th
City
Council
meeting
the
council
discussed
the
process
of
appointments
to
boards
commissions
and
committees.
It
was
noted
that
some
come
some
members
will
be
leaving
the
City
Council
may
have
appointments
due
for
the
various
boards
committees
and
commissions.
Those
council
members
felt
that
they
should
not
recommend
appointments
at
this
time.
But
look
the
new
council
members
make
recommendations
for
appointments
in
the
discussion.
Some
council
members
suggested
that
the
council
changed
the
process
of
appointments
so
that
boards,
Commission's
and
committee
appointments
coincide
with
the
election
of
the
council
members.
M
Our
city
attorney
has
drafted
an
ordinance
for

that
would
amend
the
city
code
regarding
the
process
for

would
allow
the
terms
of

to
run
concurrently
with

members
who
appoint
them.
M
City

Right
all
those
in
favor
I'm,
moving
down
to
new
business
number
one
under
new
business,
is
the
first
ring
of
an
ordinance
for
the
issuance
of
stormwater
system

bonds
for
an
amount
not
to
exceed
two
million.
Five
hundred
thousand,
that's
by

five
hundred

of

and

relays
thereto.
Is
there
a
motion.
M
Stormwater
aspect
of
these
infrastructure
projects
as
part
of
our
downtown
infrastructure
improvements
project.
We
have
asking
for
the
council's
consideration
for
a
series
of
revenue
bonds
to
be
paid
from
budgeted,
stormwater
fees
collected
from
our
customers.
These
bonds
are
for
an
amount
not
to
exceed
two
point
five
million
dollars
and
will
allow
us
to
pay
for
the
costs
of
engineering,
design
and
construction
of
certain
improvements
to
our
stormwater
infrastructure,
primarily
in
the
downtown
area,
as
well
as
administrative
cost
upon
legal
counsel
in
financial
management.
P
You
like
to
say
this
will
be
your
inaugural
issue
of
stormwater
bonds.
This
is
secured
from
your
stormwater
infrastructure
fund
and
as
C
manager,
Clem
indicated.
This
is
for
the
downtown
sewer
project.
This
is
anticipated
to
be
a
15
year
bond
and
hopefully
the
city
will
be
a
take
advantage
of
historically
low
interest
rates.
Thank.
E
D
Want
to
make
a
comment,
the
st.
my
tummy-
it
applies
to
this
also
about
your
dealing
with
state
property,
County,
property
and
city
property.
So
you've
got
the
same
issues.
The
other
thing
we
need
to
be
careful,
the
state's
going
to
come
to
you
and
say:
were
you
working
on
my
water
line?
I
want
you
to
take
the
street
I
think
we
need
to
be
very
careful
and
accepted
a
lot
of
state
highways
in
the
city
of
Aitkin.
That's
just
a
comment
so
that
you're
gonna
see
this
packet
counsel,
we'd.
D
D
M
Mayor,
as
you
may
recall,
in
January
of
2014,
the
city
purchased,
911
Maura
have,
as
part
of
our
plan,
to
extend
Christie
place
into
the
rear
of
the
public's
shopping
center.
The
property
was
annexed
into
the
city
in
May
of
2014
and
is
currently
zoned
rs.10.
The
property
was
originally
approved
for
sale
by
the
council
in
252
2015,
but
the
entity
that
had
originally
made
an
offer
to
us
this
is
for
the
house.
Portion
of
the
entirety
of
the
property
withdrew
his
bid.
M
M
While
we
are
not
envisioning
utilizing
this
property
for
an
entryway
into
that
Center,
we
want
to
leave
that
option
for
the
future,
but
the
home.
The
structure,
that's
on
the
site
has
no
use
for
city
use
and,
as
you
can
tell,
by
the
receipt
of
8
individual
offers
that
we
received.
There
are
entities,
folks
that
live
in
the
city
that
we're
interested
in
buying
the
house
for
a
variety
of
purposes.
M
The
proceeds
derived
for
the
sale
will
be
deposited
into
the
capital
project
sales
tax
to
account,
which
was
the
funding
source
for
the
initial
purchase
and
once
again
we're
talking
about
subdividing
the
parcel
and
keeping
the
let
the
land
for
potential
future
years.
But
the
house
never
did,
and
nor
does
it
now
have
any
value
to
the
city.
So
we
thought
it
made
sense
to
put
it
back
onto
the
tax
rolls
and
that's
what
this
proposal
was
proposing
to
do.
B
Maybe
assistant
city
manager,
sort
of
beanball
to
comment
I
and
I'm,
asking
I'm
asking
to
speak
to
the
process
of
dividing.
This
I
got
a
call
from
a
citizen
and
they
just
want
to
make
sure
that
every
system,
when
it
had
the
opportunity
to
do
the
same
thing
with
a
lot
as
far
as
splitting
it
in
this
manner
and
could
you
could
you
address
that
for
me
this
time?
Stuart,
yes,.
Q
Mr.
mayor,
thank
you.
The
law
can
be
subdivided.
This
is
something
that
we
went
to
the
planning
department
as
with
any
applicant,
to
subdivide
a
parcel.
It
was
reviewed
administrative
Lee
as
they
can
and
a
plat
has
been
stamped
approved
by
planning
and
should
counsel
wish
to
sell
this
property
it'll
be
recorded
at
the
dean's
office.
Very
good,
thank
you
for
that.
E
Q
Q
Q
Remember
we
were
going
to
raise
the
house
demolish
the
house,
so
we
went
ahead
and
this
was
back
soon
after
we
closed
on
the
property.
So
if
you
were
to
go
in
the
house
right
now,
the
air
conditioning
unit
is
gone
has
been
removed.
All
the
wiring
has
been
stripped,
there's
holes
and
all
the
sheetrock
for
testing
for
asbestos
and
lead
paint.
So
the
home
itself
needs
a
lot
of
work.
Q
But
but
if
you
look
the
current,
this
is
again
a
preliminary
plat
has
not
been
recorded,
but
the
square
there
is
the
existing
lot
and
then
should
council
approve
the
sale.
It'll
then
become
two
separate
parcels
lot.
4C
will
be
owned
by
the
buyer
and
then
lot
5c
will
continue
to
be
owned
by
the
city.
All
right.
Thank
you.
A
H
Q
Q
Property
and
as
mr.
Klem
stated
we
did
receive,
this
was
the
highest
bid.
We
listed
it
through
a
realtor,
so
this
this
sort
of
sale
is
a
little
different
than
other
sales
we've
done
in
that
of
property.
We
did
list
it
through
a
realtor
and
based
on
the
analysis,
the
reals
realtor
did
the
comps
and
so
forth.
Q
H
I'm
referencing
this
memo
I
want
to
say
that
Cory
Osteen
is
on
the
board,
with
recovery
road
ministries,
their
10
month,
long
free
residential
treatment
facility
for
drug
enough.
Our
recovery,
the
director
is
Gary
Corina,
a
pastor
at
Mill
Brook
practiced
and
the
president
is
Nick
gallon
who's,
the
Aiken
County
Jail
administrator.
They
currently
have
a
home
in
Granite
bill
that
houses
approximately
15
men
and
they're.
Looking
waiting
a
donated
home
for
women,
we
had
recently.
E
E
K
To
it,
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
got
the
appraised
value
that
that
was
the
reason
for
my
question
that
we're
paying
it
was
appraised
150
to
my
thousand
dollars,
and
we
are
getting
a
bid,
25,000
32,000
for
the
house
now.
But
it
is
not
the
total
property
that
the
Lots
divide
it
to
that
I
understand,
but,
and
we
have
a
house
that
is
a
problem
with
asbestos
in
proper
mold
and
everything
else.
It's.
B
B
M
Mayor
mr.
William
G
Smith,
president
of

SW,
is
requesting
the
city
to
accept
the
deed
of
dedication
for

of
this
subdivision.
They
are
recommending
that
the
city
accept
the
deed
of
dedication
for
the
streets
and
utilities
in
phase
one
of
the
Grand
Oaks
subdivision.
D
R
Good
evening,
all
yeah,
we
there's
actually
as
part
of
this
agenda,
there's
another
item
that
is
regard
with
regards
to
the
pond
tract.
That's
at
the
front
of
the
subdivision
as
you
enter
the
property.
But
yes,
this
is
just
pertaining
to
the
house,
to
my
knowledge,
the
houses
there.
There
are
also
condominiums
that
are
who.
H
B
Approval
of
a
resolution
accepting
deed
of
dedication
of
property
from
Northwest
Aiken
Development
Company,
the
property
designated
as
pond
tract.
My
title
resolution
authorizing
the
acceptance
of
property
owned
by
Northwestern
Aiken
Development
Company
is
their
motion
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much
comments
from
staff.
It's.
M
The
mayor,
Northwest
Aiken
development
company
owner
of
property
in
the
in
the
Grand
Oaks
subdivision,
is
requesting
the
city
to
accept
the
deed
of
dedication
for
the
area
designated.
As
quote
the
pond
tract,
this
area
was
formerly
known
as
the
detention
pond.
The
Grand
Oaks
subdivision
is
located
on
University
Park
Lane,
the
engineering
division
staff
is
inspected.
The
detention
pond
is
noted
in
the
deed
of
dedication.
They
are
recommending
that
the
city
accept
the
deed
of
dedication
for
a
portion
of
the
property
designated,
as
quote
the
pond
tract
for
council.
D
For
the
next
there's,
a
piece
of
this
has
to
come
because
the
the
two
stormwater
lines
don't
line
up
and
now
there
has
to
be
an
easement
through
the
other
property
which
this
Miss
Jones
is
group,
is
working
on
and
I
guess.
My
question
is:
it
is
the
kind
of
those
are
condominiums
or
they
were
started
out
as
that
they're
rentals?
Now
it's
typical
that
those
stay
is
private
property
and
why
not
mistaken
and
the
entrance
to
them?
What.
I
D
I
C
D
D
There's
there
is,
since
I've
been
on
council
there's
a
precedent
for
doing
what
he
said.
We
accepted
the
lines
to
the
meter
in
Cardinal
apartments,
their
own
Cardinal,
Street,
they're,
probably
a
different
name.
We
did
that
three
four
years
ago
because
that
had
never
been
accepted,
but
we
didn't
accept
the
roads
and
stuff.
We
did
just
what
John
said
and
I
think
there
would
be
two:
the
water
meter
type
of
Faerie
well,
there's
a
sewer
connections,
so
we
would
need
an
easement
only
across
that
property.
K
You're
not
talking
about
a
lot
of
road
in
that
small
subdivision,
you're
driving
the
subdivision,
you're,
seeing
the
houses
to
the
right
and
then
the
apartment
complexes
to
the
left,
and
it
is
a
circular
area
in
that
apartment
complex.
So
you're,
not
talking
about
a
lot
of
road
that
you
accepting
well.
D
But
I
think
the
issue
is
going
to
be.
If
I
accept
this
one,
what
do
you
do
with
other
apartment
complexes
when
they
come
into
the
city?
And
you
know
there's
there
departments
all
over
that
are
in
the
city
in
the
town,
so
I
think
we
just
need
to
follow
the
precedent
or,
if
there's
something
in
front
this
myth
prices
saying
that's
what
we
need
to
do.
That's.
D
A
B
And
that's
unanimous,
thank
you.
Nothing
under
petitions
and
requests
and
way
of
information
and
issues
and
updates.
I
would
like
to
say
this
letter
a
note
on
Thursday
October
19th
at
4:00
p.m.
and
the
council
chambers
will
have
a
council
workshop
to
discuss
pitch
and
reform
and
on
Sunday
October
29th
at
3:00
p.m.
we
invite
everyone
to
the
groundbreaking
for
our
new
public
safety
headquarters.
B
D
264,
which
is
the
update
on
the
railroad
stabilization
at
the
Wilcox
and
a
very
interesting
letter
about
the
cost
if
the
cost
was
a
myth,
much
less
than
it
is
now
and
asked
the
city
manager
take
a
look
at
this,
and
if
we
didn't
appropriate
that
amount
of
money
when
we
started
out
and
I
think
if
there's
any
place
that
the
hospitality
tax
and
tourism
would
be,
it
would
be
with
the
Wilcox
and
all
the
property
around
it.
So
we.
