A
D
Good
evening
and
welcome
to
the
June
8th
meeting
of
the
Aiken
City
Council,
we're
gonna
call
it
to

at
this
time,
and
we
appreciate
everyone
being
here.
This
is
our
first
meeting
together
and
sometimes
so.
We
appreciate
everyone.
Who's
followed
us
online,
but
it
is
nice
to
be
in
a
room
and
and
for
those
at
home
or
those
who
are
watching
online.
D
We
won't
let
you
know
that
we
have
the
room
social
distance
and
have
taken
precautions
for
safety,
and
we
certainly
appreciate
everybody
abiding
by
that
we're
going
to
open
this
meeting
with
an
invocation
which
will
be
followed
by
a
pledge,
and
we
have
with
us,
pastor,
Paul,
Bush,
pastor
good
good
evening
and
he's
going
to
write
and
deliver
our
invocation
and
then
afterwards,
we'll
ask
chief
barranco
to
come
up
and
lead
us
in
our
in
our
pledge.
So
at
this
time,
if
you
so
desire,
please
stand
while
we
pray.
E
Let
us
pray
God
I
have
any
follow
laws.
We
only
bow
before
you.
We
thank
you
for
another,
blessed
beautiful
day,
which
you
have
given
us
god.
We
thank
you
for
the
course
that
we
traveled
throughout
the
day.
The
people
that
you
allowed
us
in
town
is
our
prayer
that
maybe
something
we
said.
I
did
allow
them
to
see
the
Christ
in
us
that
your
name
I
get
the
glory.
E
Now
that
you
brings
toward
the
end
of
another
workday
and
allowed
us
to
symbolize
sails
together,
where
we
have
an
assembled
in
a
while

we
enter
this
building
even
with
you
in
our
hearts
and
in
our
minds
God.
We
ask,
as
you
bring
us
together
in
this
meeting,
that
you
continue
to
bring
your
world
back
together
for
the
enemy
that
has
come
in
and
scattered
to
of
people
abroad,
the
obvious
that
you
might
bring
peace
back
into
our
lives.
E
God
the
world
may
try
to
steal
I
happiness,
but
we
are
glad
that
they
can't
steal
our
joy,
because
I
joy
comes
from
you
God.
We
pray
for
the
leaders
of
this
world.
We
pray
for
the
leaders
of
this
free
nation
God.
We
pray
for
their
moment
everything
Heavenly
Father
from
the
state
level
to
the
local
level.
God
we
pray
for
our
men.
We
pray
for
our
cabinet
god.
We
pray
for
their
leadership
and
guidance,
heavenly
father
that
they
would
consult
you
and
the
things
in
which
they
have
to
decide.
E
Then
god
we
pray
for
us,
our
County,
our
people.
We
pray
for
humanity
God.
Allow
us
to
remember
that
together
we
will
stand,
but
divided
will
fall.
So
in
all
things
that
we
do
allow
us
to
consult
you
as
you
lead
us
down
the
path
that
you
would
have
us
to
go
as
you
lead
god.
We
will
follow
these
and
all
other
blessings.
We
ask
in
your
name.
D
We
will
be
wiping
down
the
podium
after
each
speaker
and
we
have
obviously
a
mark
on
the
floor
that
we
ask
you
to
stand
at
to
be
appropriate
for
the
microphone
at
this
time.
Let
me
share
our
guidelines
for
our
meetings.
It's
nice
not
to
have
to
read
a
minted
meeting
meeting,
say:
meetings
Republic
forms
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
hearings.
D
All
questions
and
statement
from
the
public
shall
be
directed
to
your
chair.
If
you
wish
to
speak,
raise
your
hand
and
I
will
most
certainly
recognize
you.
Please
approach
the
podium
and
state
your
name
and
address
in
order
to
allow
an
opportunity
for
everyone
who
wishes
to
address
council
speakers
should
limit
their
comments
to
the
subject
being
discussed.
D
G
H
D
Thank
You
council,
on
the
digs
all
those
in
favor,
of
accepting
the
agenda
as
presented.
Please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous.
Thank
you.
The
minutes
were
given
out
to
council
before
our
meeting
so
that
they
could
read
and
review
at
this
time.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
the
minutes
as
presented
by
move
Thank
You
counsel.
Councilman
waltz
deserves
a
second
Thank
You
Councilwoman
Umbro,
all
those
in
favor
of
accepting
the
minutes
that's
presented,
please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous.
Thank
you.
D
I
A

D

D
K
That's
not
exactly
the
way
the
city
code
reads,
but
in
effect
that's
the
way
it
works.
Well,
I
can
go
into
more
detail
if
you
like
I,
don't
have
the
code
in
front
of
me,
but
there's
there's
more
to
it
than
just
saying
it
runs
concurrently
with
your
term
as
mayor
or
the
other
city
council
members.
Okay,.

Meeting
we're
going
to
move
on
down
old
business
I'm
number
two
hundred
businesses
as
a
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
approving
the
sale
of
1417,
Thorpe
Lane
to
Dexter
Smith
by
title
and
ordinance
approving
the
sale
of
property
located
at
14,
17th
or
plain
to
Dexter
Smith.
Is
there
a
motion.
D
I
You,
the
mr.
Smith,
has
made
an
offer
on
the
city-owned
property
at
this
address.
If
this
was
family
property
that
the
city
acquired
through
the
forfeited
land
Commission
at
no
cost,
and
since
we
acquired
it,
we
spent
eight
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seven
dollars
to
clean
up
the
property
and
to
get
the
title
cleaned
up.
So
that
is
what
we
are
recommending.
We
sell
this
to
the
Smith
family
and
he
has
agreed
to
that
and
it
is
before
you
for
second
final
reading
this
evening.
Lunch.
D
D
H
F
I
Garrideb,
thank
you.
We
do
periodically
review
our
water
and
sewer
service
charges
over
the
past
five
years
or
so
councils
been
very
clear
that
we
need
to
run
our
utility
is
an
enterprise
fund,
and
so
taking
that
we
conducted
a
rate
study
in
2017,
and
we
now
have
before
you
two
rate
increases.
The
rate
increase
in
2017
was
for
water,
our
sewer
rate.
I
In
addition,
we
present
for
council
consideration
a
water
rate
increase
which
would
be
about
48
cents
per
resident
average
residential
user,
which
is
we
consider
residential
average
user
800
cubic
feet,
but
for
folks
on
fixed
income
in
the
elderly,
if
they
don't,
they
typically
use
a
lot
less
cubic
feet
of
water
per
month.
So
we
have
before
you
tonight.
This
proposed
water
rate,
increase
for
councils,
consideration
and
sewer
increase.
D

C

I
I
I

Any
comments
or
questions
from
Council
none
all
those
in
favor
second
reading.
Please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous.
Thank
you.
I'm
number
five.
This
is
a
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
to
set
the
FY
2020
21
millage
rate
by
Tyler,
an
ordinance
to
provide
for
the
levy
of
taxes
for
ordinary
City
purposes
in
the
city
of
Aitkin.
For
the
fiscal
year
beginning
July,
1
2020,
said
the
millage
of
62
Mills
and
to
provide
for
the
expenditures
thereof,
is
their
motion
so.
A
I
D
D
Moving
down
low
business
side
number
six.
This
is
a
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
adopting
certain
line-item
expenditures
for
FY,
2021
and
I'm,
going
to
ask
our
city
manager
to
walk
us.
Walk
us
through
this
I
think
this
is
where
we
have
certain
members
on
on
items
that
the
benefit
from
the
budget
right
that.
I
Is
correct?
Mr.
mayor,
we
have
been
advised
that
several
budget
expenditure
line
items
need
to
be
voted
on
separately
because
several
council
members
serve
on
boards
receiving
these
general
fund
appropriations.
I
believe
mr.
Smith,
the
appropriate
procedures
to
do
this
one
at
the
time
and
then
each
council
member
will
use.
I
Recuse
himself
will
leave
the
room
momentarily
and
we'll
take
a
vote
and
then
they'll
come
back
in
and
then
the
next
council
member
will
leave
and
cetera.
Thank
you.
The
first
item
is
the
aiken
Downtown
Development,
Association,
$60,000
and
I
believe
Councilwoman
Diggs
is
on
that
board,
so
she
is
recusing
herself
very.
D
A
D
D
D
I
G
G
D
Okay,
I
believe.
Our
last
item
is
for
a
funding
item
for
lower
Savannah
Council
of
Governments
best
friend
Express
and
the
mayor
plugged.
Him
is
recusing
herself,
so
this
time
I
will
entertain
a
motion
for
funding
out
of
this
year's
budget.
Considering
for
lower
Savannah
Council
of
Governments
and
the
best
ranked
request
for
$21,000,
is
there
a
motion,
I
suppose.
H
D
The
deeds
is
there.
A
second
second
Councilwoman
Brawl
appreciate
that
any
comments
from
the
audience
in
comments
from
Council.
It's
raining
easier,
all
right
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor
of
the
funding
with
$21,000
for
lower
Savannah,
Council
of
government
and
best
friend
Express.
Please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous,
with
a
recusal
from
miss
price.
D
D
All
right,
very
good
and
I
believe
we're
good
to
move
it
down
to
item
number
seven.
Now,
yes,
okay!
Thank
you,
sir
I'm
number.
Seven
is
the
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
to
adopt
a
budget
for
FY
2021
by
Thailand
ordinance,
adopting
a
budget
proposed
by
the
city
manager,
containing
estimates
of
proposed
revenues
and
expenditures
by
the
city
of
Aitkin
for
the
fiscal
year,
beginning
July,
1
2020
and
ending
June
30th
2021
in
declaring
that
it
shall
constitute
the
budget
of
the
city
of
Aitkin.
Is
there
a
motion
so
moved
so?
D
I
You
I
will
not
read
the
memo
into
the
record
as
I
did
last
time.
Several
things
I
want
to
point,
highlight
no
millage
increase,
which
we
established
two
agenda
items
ago,
so
the
millage
will
state
62.
The
value
of
a
mill
is
estimated
to
be
a
hundred
seventy
eight
thousand
three
hundred
and
eighty
dollars,
which
is
about
two
and
a
half
percent
higher
than
last
year.
We
are
not
recommending
increases
to
our
solid
waste
fund,
nor
to
our
stormwater
fund.
I
And
do
you
want
to
comment
that
the
budget
does
reflect
as
we
discussed
last
time,
reductions
in
the
hospitality
tax
fund
projected
revenues,
we've
reduced
20%
and
we
were
just
addres
Bini
downward
by
50%
for
accommodations
tax.
We
believe
a
common
list
since
hospitality
taxes
prepared
food
served
at
restaurants.
Of
course,
what
we
discovered
during
the
pandemic
is
your
franchise
restaurants
that
have
a
drive-through.
I
Their
revenues
were
stable
or
drop
modestly,
of
course,
restaurants
that
were
solely
sit
down
or
had
for
tax
revenue
during
the
pandemic,
while
the
exec
state
of
emergency
was
in
effect,
we
believe
those
numbers
will
pick
up
but
I
believe
us
as
long
as
the
seat
reduction
stays.
We
did
reduce
that
20%
our
eight
tax
revenues.
Again,
we
just
conservatively
believe
that
people
are
going
to
be
reluctant
to
travel.
I
One
question,
though,
I
know:
we've
had
some
of
the
individuals
that
reached
out
to
us
about
extending
the
accommodations
tax
payment
deadline,
which
you
can
pay
your
accommodations
tax
and
your
hospitality
tax
for
that
matter,
without
penalty
for
March,
April
and
May
by
June
20th.
Some
of
those
individuals
that
sent
public
comment,
mr.
Joe
Sonny's
firm,
for
example,
they
paid
their
accommodations
tax
within
the
last
week
or
so
for
so
they're
up
to
date
and
I
know.
I
We're
gonna
recommend
at
this
point
that
we
not
extend
that
further.
As
someone
council
inquired
about,
we
are
gonna
watch
those
funds,
since
they
are
discretionary
based
because
should
we
rebound
faster
than
we
believe
we
would
be
glad
to
come
back
to
Council
midway
through
the
budget
year,
which
would
be
after
the
holidays
after
the
1st
of
January,
and
maybe
look
at
potentially
revising
our
budget
upward,
but
on
the
same
token,
but
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
coin
of
the
token
to
mix
metaphors.
I
We
would
certainly
we're
going
to
be
very
cautious
with
our
spending,
and
should
we
see
that
there's
an
impact
on
revenues
greater
than
we
anticipate
we'll,
come
back
and
adjust
the
revenues
and
expenditures
downward.
We
believe
we've
got
a
good
conservative
budget
or
historically,
the
general
fund
stays
strong,
as
I
noted,
even
during
the
Great
Recession
period
of
Oh
8
through
11,
which
is
what
we
saw.
The
so-called
dot-com
bubble
burst
in
99
2000,
early
Oh
1
and
the
I
guess.
The
other
recession
that
we
looked
at
was
around
1990
91.
I
C
C
bean
Bo,
it's
very
difficult
to
come
up
with
just
what
we
think
it
might
be,
but
I
think
that
everyone
has
tried
very
diligently
to
do
that
and
the
fact
that
we
have
that
ability
or
look
at
it
again
if
things
go
up
or
down
is
reassuring.
But
this
is
a
fantastic
budget
that
you've
put
together.
I
mean
the
presentation
left,
nothing
to
be
asked,
I
mean
everything's
right
there.
Thank.
I
You
I
want
to
commend
staff
from
the
department
level
to
the
staff
and
finance
and
the
city
manager's
office,
for
helping
me
put
this
together.
One
thing
I
failed
to
mention,
because
it
is
really
not
part
of
our
annual
budget.
The
voters
set
the
budget
for
the
one
percent
capital
project
sales
tax
and
round.
Four
is
what
we
are
currently
collecting.
We,
as
you
are
all
aware,
have
borrowed
ahead.
To
do
some
prop
jump
start
some
projects.
I
We
are
suspending
any
new
projects
or
expenditures
of
C
PST
for
at
least
through
August,
and
the
reason
is
we
will
not
know
the
full
effects
of
those
revenues
until
around
July
31st
I
think
it
doesn't
take
a
Nobel
Prize
economists
to
determine
that
the
revenues
from
that
they're
going
to
be
down
so
therefore
we're
suspending
any
new
projects.
We
are
still
collecting
funds,
but
again
that
is
going
to
pay
back
work.
I
B
Sir
I
think
this
is
a
great
budget
done
a
really
good
job
on
it.
I
think
it's
a
little
aggressive
in
this
economy
that
we're
in
I
think
cutting
accommodations
Hospitality's,
but
a
great
thing,
however,
I
have
to
listen
to
the
experts
out
there
who
said
to
look
out
for
the
end
of
the
year.
We
could
have
a
ricochet
from
this
virus
and
to
me
it's
always
easy
to
raise
a
budget
than
traditional
over
one
and
I
think
we
could
have
cut
a
little
more
in
this
going
into
it,
I'm
not
condemning
it.
B
D
Duly
noted,
Mr
Bowles,
thank
you
for
your
comments.
The
other
comments
from
Council,
okay
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor,
the
second
reading
of
the
ordinance
to
adopt
a
budget
for
FY
2020
21.
Please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
Councilwoman
price
Councilman
Gregory,
the
mayor,
councilman
Diggs
councilman
throw
councilman
Jared.
Oh
all
those
opposed,
councilman
volts.
The
ordinance
passes
well
done
and
well
stated.
Mr.
Woltz.
Thank
you
for
that.
Thank.
I
You
and
we
will
watch
we're
gonna,
be
very
slow
with
those
expenditures
because
I
take
what
the
council
member
mr.
Walt
says,
agreed.
We,
if
you
have
to
come
back
with
cuts,
we
won't
have
spent
ourselves
into
a
hole
per
se.
It's
just
again
councils
been
very
clear,
this
council
in
previous
iterations
to
get
the
job
done,
but
be
very
conservative
with
how
you
manage
the
funds,
the
taxpayers,
funds
and-
and
we
will
endeavor
to
do
that
even
more.
So
thank.
D
You
thank
you
and
I
would
I
would
echo
what
councilwoman
paul
said
to
just
say.
Thank
you
to
the
staff
to
you
to
our
finance
director
assistant
manager
and
yourself,
putting
together
a
really
good
conservative
budget
and
in
tough
times.
So
we
commend
all
of
you
for
presenting
this
to
us
and
putting
it
together
for
us.
Thank
you
for.
J
I
I
H
D
You
Stuart
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
number
eight.
This
is
a
second
reading
in
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
city
code
to
regulate
street
performances
by
title
in
order,
some
ending
the
akin
city
code
to
add
chapter
24
article
to
do
my
Roman
numerals
for
to
regulate
street
performances.
Mr.
Jared
Oh.
Is
there
a
motion?
Yes,.
F
D
I
You
we
do.
We've
worked
with
staff
from
various
departments
as
well
as
the
a
DDA
to
develop
an
ordinance
to
allow
for
street
performances,
including
busking.
It
is
allowed
that
busking
and
street
performances
are
allowed
in
larger
cities
and
around
the
country
we
modeled
it
on
several
South
Carolina
cities,
ordinances,
that's
written
to
allow
for
ache
and
specific
concerns.
I
We
sort
of
it
applies
citywide,
but
we
know
the
unique
nature
of
our
downtown
business
zone.
We
designated
some
locations
in
the
downtown
business
area
initially,
and
the
city
manager
or
his
or
her
designee
will
have
the
ability
to
modify
that.
We
would
report
that
to
Council,
but
we
would
not
have
to
bring
an
ordinance
back
every
time
we
want
to
modify
it
and
again
we
would
do
that
with
care
and
deliberation,
but
we
do
have
the
map.
There
is
one
change:
the
first
reading
we
had
the
Wilcox
as
a
location,
but
they
betcha.
I
That
was
an
error.
They
are
not
a
designated
busking
location.
We
did
talk
to
all
the
adjacent
business
owners
and
property
owners
at
these
current
at
the
current
map
to
get
the
the
approval.
So
we
it
does,
as
I
say,
apply
citywide
private
property.
You
still
would
need
the
permission
of
the
property
owner,
also
Public
Safety,
meaning
little
pee
little
less
public
safety
is
taken
into
account
if
I
wanted
to
perform.
I
Say
in
a
busy
part
of
whiskey
Road
next
to
the
sidewalk
that
would
little
pee
little
less
Public
Safety
will
probably
dictate
that
that's
not
a
good
idea,
so
we
would
have
that
ability
to
in
the
interest
of
safety,
to
have
them,
have
the
performer
move
in
a
more
safe
location
within
public
areas,
also
taking
into
account,
since
we
do
have
a
registration
component
to
it.
That
is
primarily
to
be
aware
of
other
paid
events,
for
example,
if
you
could
perform
in
hopeless
Gardens.
I
If
you
want
to
reserve
June,
30th
and
I've
already
reserved
it,
you
call
up
you'll,
say:
well,
it's
already
reserved
so
same
concept
with
street
performing,
so
it
is
before
he
is
something
that
staff
and
has
been
aware
of,
and
we
began
working
on
this
before
the
pandemic
and
it
kind
of
was
put
aside
as
we
altered
our
approach
to
manage
through
the
pandemic,
but
we're
bringing
it
to
Council
for
a
second
final
reading.
Should
it
pass.
We
are
ready
to
begin
issuing.
It
is
tomorrow.
I
D
I
Is
correct
they
it
would
be
first
come
first
serve
before
I.
Think
it's
practical
reasons
we
certainly
won't.
You
formers
are
allowed
to
have
a
container
or
a
music
musical
case
to
collect
tips
or
what-have-you.
So,
yes,
the
the
stated
or
the
it
is.
Someone
implied
that
it
is
first-come,
first-served
again
similar
to
the
concept
of
if
you've
reserved
a
the
the
broom
below
us.
The
conference
center
is
for
rent
and
if
you
want
to
rent
it
tomorrow,
you
could,
if
you're
the
first
one,
if
no
it
has
not
been
booked.
I
I
I
That
is
correct,
it
does
not.
It
has
to
be
each
time
you
want
you,
you
purchase
your
permit.
That
gives
you
the
ability
to
perform
and
then,
when
you
need
to
do
when
you
want
to
do
a
performance
again,
if
it's
in
the
downtown
business
area
or
a
city
property,
you
would
need
to
reach
out
to
us
to
make
sure
it's
available,
but
there
would
not
be
a
charge,
then
to
say
if,
if
every
Friday.
L
I
I
M
M
M
I
D
J
I
love
that
we're
doing
this,
but
on
the
busking
locations
I
wish
there
were
a
couple:
Southside
locations,
added,
artists
and
I
know
it's
a
case-by-case.
They
can
come
and
request.
But
what
jumps
out
at
me
is
Virginia
acres,
there's,
sometimes
the
venting
and
things
that
go
on
out
a
lot
of
Walker's,
a
lot
of
sports,
a
lot
of
movement
and
that
could
potentially
be
a
great
busting
location
in
my
opinion.
But
if
somebody
were
to
want
to
do
that
there,
you
guys
would
consider
it.
Yes.
I
I
Reason
is,
this
is
only
for
the
downtown
business
zone
due
to
the
unique
nature
of
our
downtown
business
zone.
Unlike
the
rest
of
the
city,
we
believed
it
was
appropriate
for
the
downtown
business
zoning
area
only
to
designate
locations
for
busking
activities
and
again,
as
I
said
earlier,
this
is
a
fluid
document.
We,
the
staff,
and
we
would
share
this
with
council-
can
make
changes
to
locations
additions
or
deletions
within
the
downtown
business
area,
but
it
is
in
effect,
citywide.
I
D
You
I
think
one
question
I
would
have.
Is
the
locations
that
we've
identified?
Is
there
power
accessible
and
is
it
actually
cut
on
I
know
we
we
just
had
and
we'll
probably
speak
to
it
a
little
bit
earlier
but
later,
but
we
we
had
the
graduation
parade
and
with
with
the
PA
that
the
city
manager
just
previously
mentioned,
I
got
roped
into
saying
up
eight
speakers
alone
for
a
drought
which
worked
right
and
we
appreciate
all
the
organizers
but
but
to
say
I
know.
D
A
D
I
Close
by
I
can
speak
of
that.
We
we
will
certainly
check,
but
yes,
a
lot.
I
can't
say
that
a
hundred
percent
of
them
you
could
plug
in,
but
most
of
them
do
just
looking
at
the
locations
and
knowing
kind
of
what
we've
been
working
on
recently.
But
yes,
for
example,
there's
a
couple
on
the
map.
I
I
would
not
swear
yeah.
F
D
D
F
D
Right
item
the
force
is
the
second
reading
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
city
code
to
regulate
street
performances,
all
those
in
favor
on
second
reading.
Please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous,
thank
you
and
and
Stewart.
Thank
you
to
you
and
staff
for
working
to
to
make
this
come
about.
I
know
it's
been
a
lot
of
research
and
looking
at
other
cities
too.
What
works
and
appreciate
appreciate
the
effort
that
you
put
into
this.
N
D
You
all
right
we're
gonna
move
down
to
new
business
I'm
number
one.
This
is
a
first
ring
of
an
ordinance
to
annex
property
at
pine
log,
Road
and
Richardson's
Lake
Road,
and
improve
a
concept
plan
by
Thailand,
or
that's
the
annex
to
the
corporate
limits
of
the
city
of
Aitkin,
certain
property
owned
by
Robert,
O
Collins
and
located
at
the
intersection
of
pine
log
road
in
Richardson's,
Lake,
Road
and
two
zone,
the
same
planned
residential
PR
and
to
approve
a
concept
plan.
Is
there
a
motion.
J
D
I
Thank
you.
We
do
have
before
council
tonight,
first
reading
of
this
ordinance
to
build
a
second
phase
of
Kemper
downs
and
in
accordance
with
the
policy
adopted
by
council
in
2006.
This
property
must
be
annexed
to
the
city
and
comply
with
the
plan.
Residential
zoning
must
have
a
concept
plan
reviewed
with
a
recommendation
sent
by
the
Planning
Commission
to
City
Council.
The
developer
is
proposing
to
build
these
units
on
27.
O
D
O
I
apologize
if
I'm
repeating
something
that's
already
on
the
fourteen
points.
I
didn't
make
that
meeting,
but
one
of
the
issues
that
we've
had
is
speeding.
Maybe
better,
is
basically
a
fairly
straight
road
with
a
slight
upgrade
to
a
stop
sign
and
my
concern
is
the
traffic
coming
out
of
a
new
subdivision
there.
It's
just
going
to
increase
the
traffic
and
the
city
of
Aitkin
has
been
very
good
about
having
police
patrol
out
there.
They
put
up
a
sign,
giving
your
speed
slowdown
and
so
forth,
and.
D
O
What's
coming
right
out
at
the
meeting,
talked
about
speed,
bumps
or
something
and
I
got
an
impression.
Maybe
that
was
in
the
new
subdivision.
I
think
it's
something
that
should
be
considered
for
Old
Bay
Meadows,
just
to
slow
the
traffic
down
as
it
comes
out
going
to
what's
going
to
be
the
1x1
interest
medal.
D
I
D
O
K
O
So
forth
and
I
briefly
mention
it
just
to
bring
something
up
that
I
know
I
believe
was
addressed
the
last
time
to
is
just
the
one
entrance
to
one
exit
and
that's
on
kind
log
which
at
certain
times
of
the
day,
can
get
very
busy
and
I
know
there
was
a
traffic
study
done
and
so
forth,
but
we're
basically
going
to
be
doubling
the
size
of
the
subdivision.
There
that's
going
to
be
entering
an
accident,
I.
C
C
A
O
K
O
O
I
said
he
probably
has
nothing
to
do
with
that,
but
you
know
there's
a
concern
that
that'd
be
impacted,
but
my
biggest
concern
was
exactly
what
was
pointed
out
in
seeing
the
last
minute
it
seemed
to
me
everything
was
focused
on
the
new
subdivision,
whereas
my
concern
is
that
stretch
of
Bay
Meadows
Road
that
runs
in
front
of
my
house.
So
it's
just
a
nice
straight
slightly
up
hill
and
we
do
get
traffic
in
there
and
some
of
it
is
quite
speedy.
You.
L
The
annexation
474
new
units
is
somewhat
troubling
for
me.
In
my
past
comments
about
this
expansion
I
have
brought
to
attention
the
problem
of
only
one
entrance
to
Kemper
downs.
After
watching
the
meeting
recently
I
realized,
there
are
no
other
options
for
entry
for
proposed
phase
2.
With
that
being
said,
I
would
like
for
you
to
address
a
few
issues
as
plan
they
met.
As
drive
will
double
in
length.
We
already
experienced
traffic
issues.
There
are
residents
that
are
travelling
wave
50
mile
per
hour,
limit
service
and
delivery
trucks
fly
on
our
road.
L
Adding
74
more
homes
to
this
road
will
be
a
nightmare.
I
am
NOT
against
phase
2
entirely.
There
will
be
14
multifamily
buildings
with
3
townhomes,
each
more
people,
more
cars,
condensed
into
the
area.
I
feel
that
the
new
phase
should
be
single-family
homes,
only
Kemper
downs
as
it
stands
our
single-family
homes.
If
the
Builder
would
revamp
their
proposal
to
single-family
home
only
it
would
decrease
the
number
of
people
and
traffic
on
the
street.
Please
don't
misunderstand
me:
I'm,
not
against
townhomes
I
against
overloading
the
area
with
excessive
traffic.
L
I
would
like
for
you
to
consider
this
option.
In
the
last
meeting,
the
builders
stated
that
there
is
a
market
for
townhomes
I'm.
Sure,
that's
true.
If
the
second
entrance
were
an
option,
I
wouldn't
care
if
they
were
all
Township
I
feel
that
the
last
meeting
was
very
positive
comment.
Safety
issues
of
our
streets
were
noted.
The
following
lists
or
ideas,
I
feel,
would
benefit
or
subdivision
if
faith
truth
against
reality,
one
single-family
home
only
this
would
lower
the
amount
of
traffic
to
speed
humps
on
Bay
Meadows
Drive
people
already
speed
on
my
street
notice.
L
B
D
Thank
you.
Miss
Abbey
for
free
meta
and
I.
Also
I,
don't
know
if
Lee
McElhaney
is
here
or
not,
I
got
an
email
from
him.
I
think
he
spoke.
They
spoke
at
the
Planning
Commission,
maybe,
but
why
the
same
concerns
as
well
as
increased
buffer
and
leaving
some
established
trees.
So
it
was
a
request
of
that
masseur.
N
D
N
D
D
N
A
K
N
N
A
N
N
Actually,
the
townhomes.
Looking
at
traffic
studies
nationally,
one
nationwide
townhomes
actually
produced
less
traffic
in
a
subdivision.
It's
approximately
half
the
number
of
cars
come
from
townhomes
as
they
do
regular
residential
homes,
single-family
homes
and
we
are
at
as
I
think,
is
37%
open
space.
If
we
went
to
single-family
homes,
you
know
we
could
go
down
to
a
20%,
open
space
and
actually
get
over
a
hundred
there.
We
couldn't
do
that
because
of
the
probably
the
traffic
would
be
too
much
for
the
road,
but
he
making
out
single-family
homes.
N
It
really
is
not
gonna
gonna
help
the
traffic,
because
single
family
homes
generate
more
traffic,
they
have
more
people
that
live
in
them.
Usually
I
have
kids
that
have
a
car
and
so
traffic
actually
increases
with
single
family
homes
and
I
have
been
any
other
questions
you
I'd
like
that
about
this
home.
Well,
we
are
doing
a
lot
of
amenities
for
this.
You.
N
It's
gonna
be
a
nice
tough
division.
It's
you
know
there
were
questions
about
the
homeowners
association
having
to
and
we're
willing
to
work
if
the
existing
homeowner
association
wants
to
team
with
the
second.
We
do
want
a
separate
covenants
because
of
just
to
keep
them
just
to,
because
we
can
police
it
better
people
who
don't
want
sheds
that
are
ugly
in
the
neighborhood.
Now,
if
you
know-
and
you
know
certain
sales
at
home
stuff
any
questions
you
have
on
that.
C
N
C
Want
growth,
but
we
want
also
be
mindful
of
our
taxpayers,
who
are
already
here,
so
it's
always
that
delicate
balance
between
them,
but
when
I
looked
at
this
and
I
attended
through
YouTube
the
meeting
with
Planning
Commission,
and
it
was
very
good-
the
feedback
that
you're
doing
a
a
3500
foot
walking
trail
with
an
all-weather
surface,
a
half
acre
dog
park.
These
are
amenities
that
were
not
in
the
original.
But
one
thing
that
kind
of
stuck
out
to
me
and
listening
to
some
other
applications
were
that
were
there
that
night
is
the
buffer.
C
C
Think
that,
for
some
of
the
people
that
back
up
to
it
that
are
on
Woodruff,
they
said
gosh
if
they
could
do
that,
that
would
really
make
a
big
difference
to
them.
The
other
thing
is,
it
was
discussed,
but
isn't
part
of
the
conditions
and
I
in
your.
There
were
two
developers
who
attended
via
videoconference,
I.
N
N
C
But
I
know
you're
good
to
your
word,
but
it's
always
good
to
have
it
in
writing
that
you
know
that
road
would
be
taken
care
of,
because
we've
had
issues
with
that
with
other
developments
in
the
past,
so
I
think
for
the
citizens
that
I
talked
to
you
know
when
they
heard
this,
and
they
heard
the
price
points
were
really
good
price
points
that
you
know
those
are
going
to
be
nice
homes.
So
those
two,
those
two
things
would
help.
N
You
know
a
lot
of
times
we'll
come
in
and
have
the
contractor
film
everything
because
he's
gonna
fix
it
when
he
leaves,
if
he
doesn't
that,
wasn't
there
before,
like
a
pothole,
you
know
he'll
film,
the
whole
road
and
if
there's
anything
else,
will
you
know
fix
anything
that
occurs.
You
know
any
crack
in
her,
maybe
overlay
or
whatever
we
have
to
do,
but
but
we
fix
what
would
break
yeah
and.
C
N
Well,
I,
don't
know
just
the
main
road
yeah.
Okay,
typically
you
put
those
every
six
hundred
feet
and
be
like
two
or
three
and
we're
putting
a
couple
in
ours
down
that
same
road
just
to
slow
people
down
I.
Think
it's
a
good
idea.
We
might
do
some
different
things,
but
to
be
attractive.
Calling
devices
is
whether
calls
all.
B
A
N
B
N
N
You
typically
need
at
least
20
feet
passing
you
know
in
a
subdivision
or
eighteen
feet
for
getting
emergency
vehicles
in
and
any
type
of
development.
You
need
that.
You
know
you
got
a
twenty
six.
Well,
you
know
pavement
24,
foot
white
pavement
you
can
park
on
one
side.
If
you
have
cars
parking
on
two
sides
of
the
road,
they
can't.

This
is
a

of
an
ordinance
to
adjust
the
budget
for
an
emergency

to
the

G

I

Good
any
comments
from
the
audience
comments
from

from
Council
hearing;
none

Please
raise

that's

Thank
you.
Moving
down
your
business
iron
number

This
is
a
resolution
to
acquire,
plus
or
minus
point
nine
five
acres
of
a
portion
of
a
parcel
located
at
2301,
South,
Santa
Avenue
by
title,
a
resolution
authorizing
the
acceptance
of
property
from
FCP,
akin
LLC
is
their
motion.
So.
I
You
as
part
of
the
powder
house,
connector
centennial
extension
project.
This
is
a
critical
piece,
the
retention
pond
that
is
located
between
Centennial
Business
Park
in
the
Westminster
memory
care.
That
is,
we
need
that
pond
to
begin
the
extension
of
centennial
and
as
part
of
this,
at
no
cost
to
the
city
for
the
pond
in
exchange,
we
will
take
ownership
of
the
pond
and
then,
ultimately,
as
we
manage
a
and
develop
a
regional
retention
solution,
when
the
the
whole
area
of
the
property
has
built
that
stormwater
will
be
part
of
that.
I
So
the
developer,
that
property
changed
hands
last
year
and
we
discussed
with
the
new
property
owner
we'd
begun
discussions
with
the
old
property
owner.
It
was
subsequently
sold
and
again
we're
pleased
that
at
least
the
dirt
is
not
costing
us
anything,
and
it
was
always
our
expectation
back
when
we
began
working
in
earnest
on
this
road
four
years
ago
that
we
were
going
to
take
possession
of
that
stormwater
and
and
put
it
in
the
regional
pond.
So
this
is
it
worked
out,
as
the
plan
was
designed
to
thank.
D
F
C
D
Right
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
of
this
resolution,
please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous
Thank
You

This

motion.
G
D
I
Woodford
tres
development,
which
is
the
apartments
located
off
of
Owen
Street
as
part
of
the
agreement
that
council
requested
the
developer,
they
must
construct
a
portion
of
the
so
called
Tommy
Neilson
connector,
and
in
order
to
do
that,
that
is
property
that
has
been
deeded,
that
we
have
the
rights
over
deed
to
and
we
must
grant
them
a
construction,
a
temporary
construction
easement.
So
they
can
go
on
our
property
and
make
those
improvements.
So
this
ordinance
will
allow
them
to
do
that.
Very
good
is
that
and
mr.
I
D
A
H
A
I
Yes,
in
October
of
2018
Council
passed
a
resolution
accepting
property
owned
by
this
limited
partnership
to
construct
this
connector
road
from
an
area
near
the
Walmart
detention
pond
towards
Dougherty
Road.
One
condition
of
the
agreement
was
that
we
would
transfer
the
so
called
paper
Road.
Once
we
obtained
clear
title,
we
worked
with
Aiken
County.
They
transfer
the
property
to
us
at
no
cost
in
july
2019
and
then
we
begin
a
lengthy
quiet,
title
process
which
was
completed
in
February
of
2020,
and
we
are
now
ready
to
begin
transferring
this.
D
D
G
I
State
has
notified
us
that
they
have
received
this
application
for
a
franchise
certificate
of
franchise
Authority
amendment
from
Comcast
under
state

Secretary
of

county
of
this
application,
and
we
must
respond
in
kind
within
65
days
at
the
date
of
the
request,
and
they
have
requested
an
amendment
of
their
certificate
to
serve
five
additional
Meuse
municipalities
in
South
Carolina,
as
listed
to
include
the
city
of
Aitkin.
So
this
is
before
council
tonight
to
approve
the
application.
I
A
I
A
I
K
A
A
D
All
right
with
that
said
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
application
to
amend
that
stage
say
if
it's
a
franchise
Authority
requested
by
Comcast
cable
communications.
Please
raise
your
hand
and
that's
unanimous.
Thank
you
moving
down
to
number
200
petitions
and
requests.
This
is
an
acceptance
of
rural
infrastructure,
Authority
grant
for
highway
1
sewer
project.
I
You
Council's
been,
you
know
we
I'm
pleased
to
bring
to
you
this
request
for
an
acceptance
of
a
$500,000
grant
for
this
work,
and
we
will
be
coming
to
Council
later
this
year.
Our
portion
of
the
match
will
be
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars,
but
this
is
just
a
I
know:
council,
since
especially
over
the
last
five
years,
be
aggressive
trying
to
trying
to
hit
grants,
and
this
is
a
good
good
grant.
I
I

I
I
A
I
F
I
Have
a
cost
I
know,
council
will
was
interested
in
how
much
it
was
going
to
cost
to
move
up
one
of
the
few
positives
of
the
pandemic
was
it
enabled
us,
since
our
buildings
were
closed,
we
got
a
lot
of
work
done
and
a
lot
of
the
mood
we
saved
a
tremendous
amount
of
money
being
able
to
move
in
bits
and
pieces
over
the
time,
so
that
was
I.
Guess
we
try
to
find
silver
lion.
Make
lemonade
out
of
the
lemons
into.

Also
I
want
to
say
in
and
in
time-
and
we
had
a
press
conference
last
last
week,
but
in
time
would
with
so
many
protests
and
demonstrations.
I
think
it
speaks
volumes
for
our
city,
the
peaceful
demonstrations
that
we've
had
the
communication
that
we've
had
come
out
of
that
and
as
we
continue
to
work
forward
to
to
to
reach
the
goals
of
the
common
goals,
but
I
feel
compelled
at
this
time
to
say
to
Chief
barranco
and
our
public
safety.
