Thank

madam
mayor
pro-tem.
We
do
have
tonight
we're
honored
to
have
Jim
Headley,
the
executive
director
of
the
South
Carolina
Recreation
and
Parks
Association.
To
present
the
award
that
we
wanted
are
at
the
annual
conference
that
was
held
in
Myrtle
Beach,
the
2019
parks,
excellence
award
for
cities
with
a
population
of
30,000
and
greater,
and
this
is
recognized
for
the
renovation
and
revitalization
of
the
Eustace
Park
complex
and
I
would
like
to
ask
mr.
Headley
to
come
to
the
podium
and
make
some
remarks.
H
Thank
You
mr.
Pete
vote
honor
be
here
again
good
evening.
It's
certainly
a
pleasure
to
be
here
again.
Take
that
short
little
drive
over
from
our
offices
are
in
Lexington
right
on
I-20
over
here
to
to
do
a
little
celebration.
I,
don't
think
we
do
enough
of
that.
Each
of
you
give
your
time
and
certainly
staff,
especially
in
this
instance.
H
The
VRT
staff
gives
so
much
of
their
time,
they're
the
ones
that
are
out
there
that
the
you
know
public
doesn't
always
get
to
see
they're
there
prior
to
the
event
with
event
set
up
and
clean
up
afterwards
and
and
they
do
such
a
phenomenal
job
and
with
jessyca's
Campbell's
leadership.
It's
certainly
an
honor
and
pleasure
to
have
her
as
the
director
for
the
city
of
Aitkin.
H
She
actually
serves
on
the
board
of
directors,
as
with
we've
actually
I,
think
there's
about
four
or
five
staff
that
have
served
on
our
board
of
directors
for
the
Parks
Recreation
Association
on
behalf
of
its
SCR
pas
membership,
and
it's
over
1,100
members.
It's
great
honored
to
be
here
to
represent
the
2019
Park
Excellence
Award
for
population
over
30,000.
The
association's
vision
statement
is
creating
community
through
people,
parks
and
programs,
and
it
is
with
the
use
of
the
park
project
does.
H
All
of
that
it
is
was,
was
been
able
to
watch
it,
the
revitalization
of
it
going
back
all
the
way
through
the
years.
It
was
an
old
land
and
water
conservation
project,
but
many
many
many
many
years
ago
and
then
with
the
addition
of
the
lessee
price,
Senior
Services
Center
right
there
on
the
corner
and
connecting
that
whole
area
is
absolutely
phenomenal
and
is
really
going
to
be
help
that
community
create
the
vision
that
it
so
needs
and
and
desperately
deserves.
I
This
award
is
given
to
the
agency,
whose
new
renovated
or
revitalized
Park
has
shown
through
as
being
the
best
in
the
state
for
this
population.
Category
Eustis
Park
has
been
property
of
the
city
of
Aitkin
since
1897
originally
consisting
of
115
acres.
The
park
currently
sits
on
seven
point:
nine
four
acres
with
boundaries
defined
under
the
restriction
of
L
WCF
since
1970
in
2016
five
point:
five,
nine
acres
of
adjacent
property
was
purchased
for
development
of
a
senior
and
youth
center,
combined
with
one
acre
of
property
owned
by
the
city
for
stormwater
management.
I
This
makes
the
park
total
just
over
fifteen
point.
Five
acres
prior
to
revitalization,
the
park
featured
a
playground
with
swings
to
picnic,
shelters,
basketball,
courts,
tennis
courts
and
a
short
walking
trail
parking
was
limited
and
stormwater
runoff
had
created
multiple
landscape
issues
with
areas
of
washout
throughout
the
park
through
capital
project
sales,
tax
funds
and
an
lwc
F
grant
the
Eustis
park.
Revitalization
project
was
launched
concurrently.
The
city
also
proceeded
with
construction
of
the
senior
and
youth
center
funded
with
capital
project
sales,
tax
funds,
hospitality,
tax
funds
and
the
South
Carolina
Department
on
Aging
p.
I
Ip
grant
the
first
amenities
within
useless
Park
to
be
addressed
were
the
two
existing
tennis
courts.
One
of
the
tennis
courts
was
converted
into
for
pickleball
courts
during
the
rebuild
projects.
Next,
the
old
playground
was
removed
and
a
new
inclusive
playground
was
installed
to
accommodate
users
of
all
abilities
and
levels.
The
walking
trail
was
resurfaced
and
expanded
around
the
new
playground
location.
The
revitalization
included
the
installation
of
a
surface
parking
lot
with
a
DA
accessibility,
sidewalks
and
walking
trail
connectors
to
the
park.
I
Thanks
to
this
ambitious
project,
akin
residents
now
have
a
safer,
more
attractive
recreation
facility
that
is
a
source
of
great
community
pride
and
will
serve
citizens
for
generations
to
come.
It
is
with
great
honor
that
we
recognize
the
city
of
Aiken
with
the
2019
parks,
Excellence
Award
for
population
over
30,000.
A
D
G
Good
evening
good
evening,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
It's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
in
front
of
you,
such
honorable
counsel,
the
Aiken
County
Homeless
Coalition
is
a
grass
who
grassroots
organization
made
up
of
individuals
concerned
and
dedicated
to
addressing
the
needs
of
those
who
are
homeless
and
including
families,
children
and
students.
The
coalition's
goal
is
to
prevent
support
and,
when
possible,
reverse
homeless.
In
our
community
we
are
a
relatively
new
organized
entity
with
no
intention
of
becoming
a
501c3
excuse
me
entity.
G
Our
coalition
works
to
provide
a
platform
to
exchange
information
and
hence
and
support
the
delivery
of
existing
community
resurfaces
and
resources
and
raise
awareness
of
the
realities
and
difficulties
of
our
unseen
and
unheard
homeless
community.
We
also
believe
that
dialogue
is
the
key
in
developing
and
creating
change.
As
a
coalition.
We
welcome
the
opportunity
to
work
with
local
County
municipal
governments,
private
groups
and
agencies
to
identify
housing
needs
and
collaborate
on
solutions,
including
innovative
and
alternative
concepts.
I
would
like
to
mention
two
major
initiatives.
Our
coalition
coalition
has
held
and
had
speared.
G
For
many
of
us,
the
highlight
of
our
week,
maybe
will
be
a
Sunday
supper
meal
with
family
and
friends.
Since
May
of
this
year
on
one
Sunday
a
month,
our
Coalition
has
organized
with
the
help
of
members
of
this
community
is
Sunday
meal.
The
idea
arose
from
the
fact
that
area
soup
kitchens
do
not
operate
on
Sundays,
thereby
posing
a
serious
challenge
to
those
who
rely
on
such
programs.
G
Area,
churches
and
organizations
have
responded
to
this
challenge
by
providing
a
home-cooked
meal
and
staffing
and
local
area
church
here
in
the
city
where
those
who
are
homeless
can
safely
gather
to
eat
and
socialize.
During
several
of
these
dinners
toiletries,
food
and
even
hepatitis,
A
vaccines
have
been
made
available
to
them.
Flu
shots
will
be
available
in
our
October
meal,
where
we
expect
we
will
see
a
continued
increase
in
those
seeking
such
assistance.
B
G
Short,
this
is
the
program
required
by
the
US
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development.
Our
Coalition
has
been
involved
with
this
for
the
past
two
years.
Pit
count
is
a
volunteer
led
effort
to
try
to
capture
an
accurate
picture
of
the
number
of
homeless
individuals
living
in
the
community
based
on
certain
criteria.
This
data
collection
is
used
to
gauge
the
extend
of
homelessness
and
help
determine
the
services
needed
to
prevent,
reduce
it
or
end
it.
G
However,
we
had
found
that
this
data
collection
effort
has
its
challenges
and
limitations,
as
it
does
not
realistically
portrayed
an
accurate
picture
of
the
homelessness
situation
in
the
county.
We
have,
however,
use
this
community
tradition
as
an
outreach
activity
and
awareness
tool.
During
this
count,
we
have
organized
and
provided
health
screening.
Mental
health
screenings
coats
gloves
toiletries
to
reach
out
to
the
individuals
who
otherwise
will
not
be
seen.
My
name
is
Roxana
cert
and
I
am
the
chair
of
the
Aiken
County
Homeless
Coalition.
G
We
are
committed
to
the
idea
that
all
people
have
the
right
to
be
heard
and
to
be
treated
with
decency
and
respect.
We
further
believe
that
it
is
the
duty
of
a
decent
and
respectful
people
to
consider
consider
the
needs
of
those
truly
in
need.
To
this
end.
We
raise
our
voice
to
address
their
needs.
I
am
here
to
them
tonight
with
other
members
of
the
coalition
and
I
would
like
them
to
stand.
G
And
they
are
from
the
executive
board
representing
the
Coalition,
to
bring
awareness
to
you
who
have
the
ability
and
means
to
please
consider
the
plight
of
our
brothers
and
sisters
who
are
homeless
or
on
the
verge
of
homelessness
and
those
who
deal
with
housing
insecurities.
We
would
like
to
extend
an
invitation
to
dialogue
with
all
of
you.
You
are
also
called
cordially
invited
to
participate
with
us
and
attend
our
monthly
meetings
or
a
Sunday
meal,
or
volunteering
with
us
during
the
pit
count.
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
attention.
Thank
You.
A
Roxana
and
I'm
happy
to
be
a
part
of
this
Homeless
Coalition
team
as
well,
and
we
also
thank
you
for
providing
the
faith
IDs
to
people
who
don't
have
IDs
and
have
to
come
into
a
health
center
or
a
business
and
cannot
do
anything
without
those
IDs.
So
we
appreciate
all
of
the
work
you
do
here.
Omega
and.
B
G
On
125
you're,
Union,
Union
Street
and
as
the
st.
Mary's
Mother
Teresa's
hall
and
you
are
welcome
to
come
and
not
serve
or
welcome
to
volunteer.
We
are
also
on
the
pit
count
that
is
on
the
week
of
January
the
22nd,
and
we
are
gathering
groups
in
order
to
facilitate
activities
so
that
we
can
draw
out
the
homeless
individuals
to
come
and
we
offer
you
know
different
services
for
them.
While
we
count
their
their
numbers
conducted
a
pit
count.
Yet
we
did
that
last
year.
G
G
So
the
interesting
part
about
that
is,
there
are
certain
criteria
that
they
have
to
minute
and
that
criteria
is
in
and
that's
why
it's
kind
of
skewed,
because,
according
to
the
state
criteria
or
the
federal
criteria,
is
that
if
they
are,
if
they
spend
the
night,
regardless
of
where
it
is,
if
they
have
a
house
on
that
Wednesday
of
that
week,
they
are
not
considered
homeless.
So
we
cannot
count
them
for
the
pit
count.
G

D
You,
the

that
we
have
require
performance,
bonds,
letters
of
credit
and
other
stirrups
sufficient
surety
to
guarantee
the
infrastructure
of
developments
can
be
completed,
such
as
roads,
sanitary
sewers,
all
in
water
and
sidewalks.
In
October
2017,
we
amended
the
land
development
regulations
and
that
consequence
required
that
the
timing
of
the
guarantees
be
issued
before
a
grading
permit
is
issued
and,
subsequent
to
that
amendment,
we
have
found
that
the
timing
of
requiring
these
guarantees
could
be
more
appropriate
and
our
process
is
significantly
more
onerous
than
other
communities
and
counties
in
the
CSRA.

Moving

hearing
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
a
city
code
regarding
special
tax
assessment
for
real
rehabilitated,
historic
properties
by
title,
an
ordinance
amended.
The
Aiken
city
code
regarding
special
real
property
tax
assessments
for
real
rehabilitated.
D
You,
madam
mayor
pro-tem,
the
DRB,
is
reviewed
and
recommended
to
City
Council
that
the
city
could
be
amended
regarding
the
special
tax
assessments.
The
DRB
had
several
meetings
in
the
spring
and
summer
about
this
matter
and
considered
amendments
to
ensure
that
there
is
transparency
and
consistency
in
its
implication,
while
preserving
the
fundamental
incentive
of
a
ten-year
freeze
on
the
property
tax,
value
of
participating
properties,
and
since
we
have
in
the
inception
of
this
program,
22
properties
have
received
final
certification
and
two
more
have
received
preliminary
certification.
D
A
recent
application
for
assessment
brought
to
staff's
attention
that
there's
some
discrepancies
between
the
letter
of
the
law
in
the
city
code
and
the
actual
practice
since
the
program's
inception
and
the
Design
Review
Board
has
recommended
some
changes
to
provide
specific
direction
regarding
the
applicability
to
those
properties.
Having
received
certification,
there
are
seven
properties
that,
before
the
implementation
date
of
this
text,
amendment
this
assessment
period
is
not
yet
expired.
They
would
be
allowed.

comments
from

D
The
Aiken
community
theater
has
been
working
with
staff
in
our
parks,
recreation
and
tourism
department
regarding
the
building
located
at
the
corner
of
price
Avenue
into
notch
road,
one,
six,
one
three,
two
notch
Road
the
building
was
originally
constructed
by
the
Aiken
community,
Playhouse
in
the
late
1960s
and
until
2003
served
as
the
Playhouse
location
before
they
move
downtown
to
the
facility
on
Newbury
Street.
Since
2017
are
in
the
interim
period
between
2003
to
2017,
it
served
primarily
as
a
function
for
our
pottery
classes
and
storage
as
well.
D
The
least
that
has
been
is
council
tonight
has
no
annual
rental
charge,
but
the
theater
will
pay
$30
per
hour
per
city
staff
member
needed.
We
did
approve
this
at
first
reading.
At
the
September
23rd
meeting
I've
run
out,
representatives
from
the
theater
were
late,
and
we
had
already
passed
the
meeting.
So
we
have
mr.
Watley
here
tonight.
If
there
are
any
questions
or
questions
of
staff,
but
it
is
before
you
tonight
for
second
and
final
reading,.
M

N
Question
counselor
Jared:
oh,
the
facility
has
been
vacant
from
PRT
usage
for
three
years
and
there's
a
lot
of
capital
improvements
that
will
need
to
be
done
for
even
to
function
for
the
Playhouse
to
utilize
right
now.
They
can't
get
in
there
and
do
a
rehearsal
space,
but
in
terms
of
actually
opening
up
for
public
viewing
of
performances
or
for
another
entity
to
utilize
in
some
manner.
Is
it's
not
at
that
point?
N
J
J
J
K
K
K
We
do
not
at
this
point
we're
still
working
well
at
this
point
we
have
a
capital
campaign
committee
established,
but
until
the
police
was
formalized,
we
haven't
taken
any
action
yet
to
announce
a
capital
campaign.
Once
we
have
a
plan
for
the
kind
of
changes
we
would
like
to
make
in
the
facility,
then
obviously
with
council
in
the
city
staff's
blessing,
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
make
a
an
ask
document
and
pursue
the
fun
at
that.
K
K
Would
not
be
suitable
for
us
to
do
what
we
would
like
to
do
if
it
stays
in
its
current
position,
but
I
do
want
to
wave
this
flag
we're
not
proposing
a
grandiose
refit
of
the
facility.
It
certainly
won't
match
the
flagship
we
have
on
Newbury
Street.
It
essentially
is
going
to
be
a
stage
across
we're.
K
A
half
room
is
built
now,
where
the
old
stage
used
to
be
at
a
minimum
that
plus
ideally
later
on
some
seating
to
cover
the
slope
and,
depending
on
the
funding
and
the
community's
response,
some
repair
work
to
the
interior
for
better
insulation,
better
site
and
just
a
nice
stronger
building
any
of
the
theatrical
equipment
that
the
Aiken
community
theater
may
take
there
at
the
end
of
the
lease.
If
it's
not
renewed
in
its
five-year
increment
system,
we
would
remove
that,
but
the
changes
to
the
interior
of
the
building.
Otherwise,
what
would
remain.
N
K
Currently,
this
is
believe
it
or
not.
We
have
filled
up
the
the
theater
on
Newbury.
Street
is
because
our
programming
has
just
grown
so
well
we're
on
top
of
ourselves
for
rehearsals
we
do
10
plays
a
year
which,
in
our
year-round
season,
which
is
quite
elaborate
for
community
our
size,
we
cannot
adequately
rehearse
all
of
our
shows
in
the
current
facility,
because
once
the
season
starts
we're
in
a
pipeline
that
just
rolls
and
rolls
and
rolls
thanks
to
the
recreation
departments,
good
nature
they've
been
allowing
us
to
use
what's
available.
K
There
is
a
rehearsal
space
for
the
first
month
or
so
of
a
show
before
we
transfer
it
to.
We
call
it
the
mothership,
the
new
Berry
Street
Theatre.
So
it's
been
a
great
great
asset
to
us
in
that
regard,
but
in
the
earlier
iteration
of
this
there
was
discussion
about.
If
we
could
have
a
stage
in
some
comfortable
area
for
people
to
sit,
we
could
do
workshops
there.
K
We
could
do
small
performances
for
basically
workshop
graduation
events,
that
sort
of
thing-
so
that's
probably
at
this
point
our
highest
use
of
it
based
on
the
success
of
any
capital
campaign.
We
might
be
able
to
put
together
if
it
exceeds
what
we're
expecting
right
now,
then
great,
but
right
now
we're
looking
at
dressing
it
up
primarily
for
rehearsals
workshops
and
simple
performances,
nothing
to
rival
what
we
put
on
the
main
stage
or
the
Bechdel
experimental
theater
stages
in
the.
J
Facility,
thank
you
so
much
I
and
I'm.
A
major
fan
of
what
a
CT
does
and
I
think
you
know,
as
we
hear
this
and
I
think
about
that,
building
being
empty
and
used
and
really
the
longer
it's
not
used
the
worse,
its
condition.
I
like
the
vision,
I
like
what
you're
doing
I
like
that,
it's
being
repurposed
and
quite
frankly,
you
know.
After
five
years
we
can
address
all
these
things,
but
I
think.
For
the
meantime,
it
seems
like
the
right
direction
for
the
community,
for
your
mission
and
and
for
that
building.
F
F
K
N
L
K
D
E
K
A
E
A
L
D
We
have
before
you
tonight
second
reading
of
this
ordinance.
As
you
know,
the
voters
of
Aiken
County
November
6th
of
last
year
passed
the
fourth
round
of
the
capital
project
sales
tax
and
within
the
city's
list
of
projects
we
had
money
designated
for
upgrades
at
Smith
hazel,
including
us,
the
replacement
of
the
swimming
pool.
At
that
time,
based
on
the
information
that
we
had,
we
were
given
a
quote
of
$500,000
an
estimate.
Excuse
me
of
$500,000
that
was
in
late
2017.
D
So
we
brought
this
to
Council
at
work
session
last
week
and
had
some
good
good,
hard
discussion
about
this
project.
The
the
fact
it
came
in
almost
two
and
a
half
times
over
budget
and
weigh
that
against
the
the
timing
of
it
and
what
the
ordinance
is
recommending
that
passed
on
first
reading
is
that
we
do
some
additional
borrowing
ahead.
It
still
leaves
us
within
budget
of
the
money
set
aside
for
Smith
hazel.
However,
we.
D
To
complete
some
of
the
other
portions
of
that
renovation
project,
we
are
going
to
pursue
some
grants
similar
to
what
was
described
at
the
very
beginning
of
this
means
some
land
water
conservation
fund
grants
to
complete
some
of
the
exterior
work
that
was
on
the
ballot,
including
improvements
and
upgrades
to
the
walking
track
and
the
tennis
courts
and
basketball
court.
So
we
have
before
you
tonight
the
second
reading
of
this
interfund
alone
for
this
project
at
Smith,
hazel.
J
F
Just
want
an
ad
I'm,
gonna,
repeat
something
you
said
that
has
been
discussed
in
the
community
since
that
the
last
meeting
previous
meeting
about
this
part
is
that
it
does
a
lot
for
a
portion
of
our
community,
the
north.
That
will
help
to
improve
the
image
increase,
development
opportunities,
economic
development
opportunities,
and
that
is
what
many
folks
are
looking
at.
Plus.
We
were
liking
with
activities
for
many
children
who
do
have
transportation
this
past
summer
and
they
look
forward
to
that
pool,
opening
and
the
pleasures
of
just
being
in
the
water.
F
But
when
you
have
families
that
are
making
minimum
wage
working
two
or
three
jobs,
that
is
their
outlet,
their
only
outlet.
Many
folks
go
to
the
beaches
and
all
these
other
fun
stuff
and
my
children
are
included
with
that.
But
you
have
kids
that
never
leave
Aiken
South
Carolina.
That
pool
is
their
Beach.
So
it
goes
to
you
for
making
that
comment,
because
that
has
touched
a
lot
of
heart
and
you
meet
them
and.
A
I
just
like
to
say
this
pool
is
always
open
to
the
public.
It's
open
to
anyone
in
this
room
that
would
like
to
go
and
swim
there,
but
this
is
also
a
place
where
kids,
in
especially
in
district
one
end
on
the
north
side.
This
is
where
they
learn
to
swim.
There
are
no
families
with
pools
in
the
backyards,
so
this
is
like
their
Country
Club.
This
is
where
they
hang
out.
This
is
their
family.
Why?
A
So
this
is
definitely
an
asset
for
district
1,
but
especially
for
the
city
of
Aiken,
and
we
just
I
approve
I,
mean
I,
appreciate
the
support
from
my
fellow
councilmembers.
Now
we
did
have
one
councilmember
that
is
absent
tonight,
and
he
has
a
statement
that
I'm
gonna
read
out
to
you.
I
think
that
this
is
dick
to
our
who
represents
district
three
I
think
there
should
be
a
fixed
price
contract
with
no
provision
for
change.
I
also
advocate
a
daily
penalty
$5,000
if
the
project
is
not
completed
by
May
31st.
A
Finally,
we
should
ask
our
staff
to
aggressively
monitor
the
progress
of
this
project
and
make
periodic
reports
to
council
in
the
perfect
world.
I.
Think
spending
an
extra
seven
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand
dollars
to
meet
an
artificial
deadline
is
an
abuse
of
taxpayer
money.
What
added
effort
we
should
be
able
to
get
this
project
far
closer
to
the
original
cost.
The
addition
of
features
of
the
pool
not
discussed
by
council
was
not
appropriate.
L
Okay,
just
to
appreciate
that
it
is
going
to
be
a
positive
as
we've
discussed
and
I've
been
giving
credit
doing.
That
is
absolutely
it
brings
the
community
up
and
that
that
is
an
area
that
will
grow
the
city
can
see
these
houses
get
fixed
up,
it's
already
happening
and
there's
more
that
will
come.
This
will
benefit.
All
of
that.
With
that
in
mind,
we
better
address
the
parking
at
some
point
in
time.
There's
really
not
adequate
parking
for
those
who
want
to
drive
there.
L
I
took
swimming
lessons
in
the
old
Eustace,
Park
pool,
which
is
now
got
a
building
on
top
of
it.
That's
not
a
bad
ball
anymore.
It
also
probably
shows
my
age,
but
from
a
standpoint
of
it
is
the
only
pool
within
the
city
and
I
think
it's
positive
all
the
way
around,
and
we
should
look
at
it
that
way,
and
let's
look
at
the
parking
too
how
we
can
have
better
parking
for
everybody
in
sociated
outs,.
F
Let
me
just
say
that
you
hear
us
talk
about
districts,
each
one
of
us
sitting
here
represents
the
districts
and,
for
the
most
part,
the
issues
differ
in
terms
of
focus
and
need,
depending
on
which
district
you
represent,
and
I
will
tell
you
that,
as
I
watched
the
council
that
I
served
with
this
is
lessee.
Personally,
it
is
as
if
I'm
doing
it
for
examples.
Issues
are
different.
She's
dealing
with
culling
and
deer.
F
She
can
put
her
hat
on
as
if
we
represent
those
district
and
trying
to
understand
what
each
person
is
enduring
based
on
their
constituency
base,
and
that
is
the
beauty
of
this
council
that
we
can
shift,
and
these
folks
have
driven
the
community
that
we
are
written
in
there
and
seeing
the
need
and
the
problems,
and
we
can
shift
based
on
the
needs
and
empathize
and
sympathize
with
folks
as
we
address
those
problems,
and
that
is
that's
what
you
have
in
terms
of
the
beauty
of
this
council
that
serves
you.
The
city
of
Aiken
itself.

And
this
is
this
is
just
it's
important.
Our
job
as
a
council
is
to
is-is-is
safety
through
our
public
safety
is
Parks
and
Rec
through
our
community
needs
our
children,
our
elders
and
an
infrastructure
really
in
my
eyes
that
that
those
should
be
our
priorities,
and
this
particular
project
falls
within
the
priorities
of
a
City,
Council
and
I.
Don't
agree
that
we're
being
overcharged
because
we
need
this
done
by
a
certain
time.
We
are
pressuring
and
sure
there
may
be
some
costs
attributed
to
that.
J
But
it
is
not
fair
for
us
to
be
the
city
of
Aitkin
and
get
all
these
accolades
and
not
be
able
to
provide
a
basic
right
to
of
the
children
of
this
community,
not
to
mention
elders
that
maybe
want
to
go
to
a
swimming
hole.
So
I
I
think
that
if
you
see
the
plans-
and
you
understand
the
plans,
you
will
understand
the
price
tag,
it
is
a
different
scope,
and
so
it's
not
here's
what
we
budgeted
for,
because
we
just
we're
going
to
fix
a
pool.
J
Now
we
have
completely
revamped
a
project
that
is
5,000
levels
above
what
we
initially
intended
to
do.
So
it's
very
important
that
we
understand
that
as
a
community,
so
I
will
say
it
again.
It's
important
for
our
children
to
have
this
option
because,
like
Miss,
Councilwoman,
Diggs
and
Councilwoman
price
mentioned
not
everybody
has
the
opportunity
to
have
a
pool
in
their
backyard
to
have
a
community
neighborhood
pool
or
to
go
to
the
beach
or
the
lake.
They
don't
have
those
options
and
we
should
always
provide
that
option.
A
Did
not
agree
with
mr.
du
är
statement,
it's
an
abuse
of
taxpayers.
Money
I've
had
a
lot
of
comments
from
people
that
contacted
me
after
the
first
reading
and
said
this
is
the
waste
of
taxpayers
money.
Well,
these
people
pay
taxes
too.
So
why
can't
they
have
a
pool?
Why
can't
we
have
a
pool?
Why
can't
we
make
sure
that
all
the
the
needs
in
this
city
is
met?
I.
N
B
A
In
favor,
that's
unanimous!
Thank
you.
Moving
down
to
item
number
8,
second
reading
and
public
hearing
of
an
ordinance
to
sell
property
to
South
Carolina
Highway
Department
for
right-of-way
for
Hitchcock
Parkway
road
improvements
by
title
and
ordinance
authorizing
the
city
of
8.
Excuse
me:
yes,
the
city
of
Aitkin,
to
convey
real
property
to
the
South
Carolina
Department
of
Transportation.
A
D
He
was
made
aware
of
this
meeting,
so
we
can
discuss
this
item
and
if
we
want
to
continue
it
to
the
next
meeting,
that
is
fine,
but
we
did
attempt
to
have
someone
from
d-o-t
here
and
I
thought
he
was
going
to
be
here
based
on
the
conversation
I
had,
so
we
do
have
as
part
of
the
Hitchcock
Parkway
improvements.
They
are
in
the
right-of-way
acquisition
portion
of
the
project.
D
The
actual
shovels
in
the
ground
will
begin
summer
of
2020,
so
a
little
less
than
a
year
from
now,
so
as
part
of
their
right-of-way
acquisition,
they
are
approved.
They
wish
to
acquire
from
the
city
about
two-tenths
of
an
acre,
a
adjacent
to
Peggy's
Pond
property,
which
the
city
owns,
which
is
between
Dibble
Road
and
Highway
421,
and
the
probably
put
in
there
the
exhibit
a
that
we
got
the
day
of
the
meeting
and
I
know.
D
Council
had
questions
about
the
location
of
a
guardrail
and
so
on,
and
we
do
not
have
anyone
from
d-o-t
here
to
answer
those
questions.
However,
the
guardrail
is
going
to
not
be
in
the
center
of
the
road.
It
is
going
to
be
off
on
the
side
of
the
road
to
protect
I,
guess
folks,
from
going
down
the
there
is
a
small
embankment
at
that
at
that
location,
where
we
own
Peggy's
pond.
A
D
You,
madam
mayor
pro-tem,
as
we
were
discussing
in
briefly
in
the
work
session.
We
do
have
this
project
before
it's
at
second
reading.
I
would
like
to
state
for
the
record
where
we
were
on
September
23rd
and
where
we
are
now
at
the
September
23rd
meeting.
We
did
approve
first
reading
of
this
development
agreement,
this
ordinance
with
an
entity
that,
subsequent
to
first
reading
that
the
LLC
one
of
the
development
partners
withdrew
from
the
project,
and
we
were
notified
of
that
last
Wednesday,
I
believe
and
the
late
last
Thursday.
D
So
four
days
ago
we
got
a
call
that
the
developer,
the
the
owner
of
the
property
Beaufort
Street
LLC,
wished
to
continue
with
the
development
agreement.
As
written
and
I
know.
Tonight
we
have
the
engineer
for
the
project.
Tilden
Hildebrand
is
here
as
well
as
the
the
property
or
the
property
owner,
and
what
essentially
this
project
will
do?
Is
we
in
order
for
this
project
to
be
built?
We
must
upgrade
the
lift
station.
D
The
developer
has
agreed
to
pay
for
the
cost
to
upgrade
the
lift
station
and
then
upon
completion
and
inspection
and
review
of
the
cost.
We
will
then
remit
back
to
the
developer
up
to
70%
of
the
cost,
because
we
estimate
that
approximately
30%
of
the
cost
will
will
be.
The
part
of
the
portion
of
the
capacity
of
Presley's
station
will
be
on
this
upgraded
lift
station,
and
it
will
also
this
once
complete.
This
lift
station
will
also
allow
for
additional
development
and
sewer
access
in
that
general
area,
which
is
bordered
by
B.
D
First
Street
basically
goes
down
the
center
of
it
and
property,
both
on
the
left-hand
side
and
the
right
of
the
west
and
the
East
Side
all
the
way
over
near
where
the
spca
is
so.
We
have
before
you
tonight
the
second
reading
of
the
ordinance,
but
we
do
have
the
Beaufort
Street
LLC,
which
is
the
entity
that
the
property
owner
has
formed
for
this
project,
and
this
project
I
know
Kent's
councils.
A
O
O
A
Thank
you
moving
down
to
new
business
first
item
of
the
new
business,
it's
the
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
2019-20
budget
for
wood
wood
house
roof
and
painting
exterior
project
by
title.
It's
an
ordinance
amending
the
budget
of
the
city
of
Aitkin
for
the
fiscal
year,
beginning
July,
1st
2019
and
end
in
June,
30th
2020.
Is
there
a
motion
so.
L
A
D
You
we
do
have
before
you.
We
did
budget
in
the
in
our
annual
budget
maintenance
for
the
Woodward
house,
which
is
where
our
parks,
recreation
and
tourism
administration
offices
are
located
on
banks,
Mill
Road.
We
did
receive
three
sealed
bids:
the
total
for
the
new
roof
and
exterior
paint
came
in
over
budget
and
dude.
It
was
due
primarily
to
the
front
porch
roof
support
failure
as
well
as
lead
paint
at
the
Woodward
house,
so
that
resulted
in
the
overage
of
approximately
$24,000.
D
L
M
A
Moving
down
to
item
number
two
new
business:
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
budget
for
fiscal
year,
2019
20
and
approve
an
anti
fund
loan
for
the
purchase
of
road
cars
by
title.
It's
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
city
of
Aitkin,
to
amend
the
budget
for
fiscal
year,
2019
20
and
to
authorize
the
city
to
lend
up
to
seven
hundred
and
twenty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
and
thirty
dollars
to
provide
financing
to
fund
the
purchase
of
roll
carts
for
garbage
and
recycles
collection.
Is
there
a
motion
so
moved.
D
You
we
do
have
in
the
budget,
we
have
money
set
aside
for
purchase
of
garbage
trucks
which
we
have
already
ordered.
This
was
approved
through
the
normal
budget
process.
We
are
transitioning
and
we'll
be
rolling
out,
no
pun
intended
to
the
citizens
here
that,
with
the
the
the
new
garbage
trucks,
they
will
be
an
automated
trucks.
We
do
have
one
automated
truck
in
our
fleet.
We
are
going
to
move
to
all
automated
trucks
for
solid
waste.
D
D
So
as
part
of
our
solid
waste
fee
that
council
initiated
in
the
this
budget,
we
have,
for
the
first
time
a
cart
replacement
fee
of
78
cents
per
bill
per
month,
and
what
that
replacement
fee
allows
is
the
purchase
of
carts
these
carts
that
we're
recommending
that
we
borrow
ahead
and
pay
back,
will
last
approximately
12
years.
They
have
a
12
year
life
and
we
we
will
be
able
to
pay
the
loan
back
within
seven
years.
We
will
add
to
the
interfund
borrowing
the
local
LG
IP
rate,
as
we
pay
these
back
the
we
did.
D
We
have
done
a
lot
of
research
on
this.
It
started
I
think
when
one
selects
kirtland
it
became
the
interim
director
at
public
services
and
after
a
lot
of
back
and
forth,
we
believe
that
going
forward
this
plan
will
benefit
us
on
several
levels.
It
will
free
up
some
of
our
staff
as
well.
They
will
not
have
to
ride
on
the
back
of
the
garbage
trucks
and,
ultimately
that
will
allow
those
staff
members
to
begin
doing
some
work
in
our
in
our
grounds
and
picking
up
litter,
raking
and
and
doing
that
sort
of
maintenance
work.
D
M
Have
one
I
think
I
think
this
is
great
that
we're
doing
this
I
think
we
need
to
do
it,
but
I
also
think
we
need
to
strengthen
up
our
solid
waste
program
of
what
we
pick
up.
What
we
don't
pick
up
the
amount
of
stuff
we
pick
up
and
we
need
to
stand
behind
this
department
in
doing
that.
Not
I.
Have
somebody
come
to
say:
oh
I
didn't
have
it
out.
Can
you
come
back
and
do
it?
M
We
need
to
put
that
in
place
when
we
roll
like
this
program
and
stand
behind
him
and
give
these
people
some
backup.
I
talked
to
one
of
the
guys
on
one
of
the
grapple
trucks.
The
other
day
he
was
working
at
7:30
at
night.
He
said
you
know
I'm
just
happy
if
I
get
a
Saturday
off
because
we're
so
far
behind
I
mean
that's
just
you
know
it's
it.
M
These
Fetty
spent
a
long
time
filling
this
from
one
truck
up
more
than
once
at
one
spot,
and
we
need
to
back
them
up
and
if
people
put
more
at,
they
need
to
be
charged
for
it.
So
I
think
we
should
publish
it
in
the
paper
that
we're
gonna
do
it
for
for
a
period
of
time
beforehand
and
then
still,
even
if
we
get
a
call
from
somebody
saying
hey.
Can
you
help
me
at
this
time?
We've
got
to
say
no
and
move
forward
and.
J
We've
talked
about
that
for
two
years,
I've
been
on
council
and
we
haven't
made
any
decision
on
that
and
I
agree
with
Councilman
bolts.
We
I
mean
we're
only
complicating
the
app
of
the
operation,
which
we
have
a
very
good
one,
and
if
we
can
streamline
those
things,
it'd
be
a
lot
more
effective
I.
Don't.
D
Think
I'm
exaggerating
when
I
say
that
those
comments
are
music
to
staff's
ears
and
we
would
be
delighted
to
bring
to
you
very
soon
like
before
the
end
of
the
calendar
year
early
in
the
next
meeting
or
two
probably
will
say
the
first
meeting
in
November
a
recommendation
on
the
solid
waste,
the
the
yard
waste,
as
well
as
touch
on
some
of
the
other
issues
that
you
raised.
To
start
this
first
January.
First,
yes,
yes,.
M
D
Thank
you
I
appreciate
that.
That's
something
that
I
know.
We've
had
a
number
of
discussions
with
council
and
we
we
appreciate
that
we
will
bring
something
I
think
that
will
number
one
me.
The
citizens
needs
but
also
be
help.
The
operation
run
more
efficiently,
because,
certainly
the
more
efficiently
we
run
the
less
often
we
need
to
come
to
Council
for
rate
increases
and
when
we
have
to
come
for
rate
increases.
If
it's
run
efficiently,
they
should
not
be
as
drastic
say,
as
this
last
rate
increase
right.
D
I
L
D
D
Certainly
early
early
into
the
process
will
have
some
city
staff,
the
city
staff
that
would
be
on
the
back
of
the
truck
will
be
there
the
first
week
or
two
a
couple
of
weeks
to
make
sure
everything
everyone
has
an
understanding
of
how
the
carts
are
supposed
to
be
rolled
out
and
where
but
correct
once
this
is
implemented.
I
think
the
citizens
will
appreciate
it,
but
it
will
aid
in
staff,
efficiency.
L
A
Moving
down
to
item
number
three:
first
reading
of
an
ordinance
authorizing
the
city
of
Aitkin
to
convey
real
estate
to
prot
gross
rental
properties,
LLC
by
title
and
ordinance,
approving
the
sale
of
property
between
Park
Avenue
and
Richland
Avenue
to
prompt
row
rental
properties.
Llc.
Is
there
a
motion
so
moved.
L
D
We
have
been
approached
by
this,
the
entity
that
owns
the
property
and
there
is
an
abandoned
roadway
of
Berkeley
Street
between
Park
Avenue
and
Richland
Avenue.
The
there
is
no.
There
are
no
city
utilities
within
the
right-of-way
and
we
recommend
the
they
had
an
appraisal
done
of
the
property.
It's
a
very
specialized
type
of
appraisal,
abandoned
rights
away.
D
So
this
I
know
I
leaned
on
the
council
member
cheridave
s--
at
this
point,
but
I
do
think
it
at
this
time
we
are
bringing
the
council
first
reading
of
this
ordinance
to
convey
this
portion
of
property,
which
is
a
little
over
2
acres
to
proffer.
Oh
so
they
can
have
contiguity
I
guess
across
the
property
I
think
right
now
there
is
a
temporary
or
some
sort
of
improvement
or
structure
on
the
piece
that
is
owned
by
the
city.
That's
the
abandoned,
right-of-way
and
I.
A
A
F
This
document
that
we
have
has
lots
of
moving
parts
that
I
don't
quite
understand
and
I
looked
at
your
request,
along
with
the
other
land
sales.
That's
in
this
document
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
one
the
connection
of
our
selling
this
land
to
the
other
parcels
is
there:
what
are
the
other
things
planned?
What
should
I
know
that
I
don't
know,
and
if
I'm
asked
what's
going
on
with
this
I
cannot
explain
it.
The.
P
Adjacent
pieces
beside
this
have
been
in
the
pro
throw
family
for
a
very
long
period
of
time
for
simplicity
sake,
they
formed
the
LLC,
so
they
simply
didn't
have
to
run
around
and
get
a
bunch
of
different
signatures
of
a
bunch
of
different
family
members.
There
is,
this
is
a
was
a
plaited
Road
right-of-way.
P
So
if
they
council
did
approve
this
and
the
family
purchased
this
property,
they
still
could
not
go
and
develop
it
at
that
point
because
under
South
Carolina
law,
if
a
road
has
been
plaited,
it
can
only
be
used
for
Road
purposes
unless
you
go
through
the
formal
abandonment
process-
and
you
all
may
recall
one
that
was
in
the
newspaper
out
in
Windsor
with
the
corn
farmers
that
went
on
for
years
and
years
and
went
all
the
way
to
the
appellate
court.
So
it
is
by
no
means
a
sure
bet
that
they
could
ever
develop
this.
P
They
are
interested
in
exploring
the
option,
the
appraisal
and
it's
a
conversation
that
I
had
with
mr.
Giotto.
The
appraisal
does
reflect
to
the
limited
use.
It
was
a
very
expensive
appraisal.
It
was
very
hard
to
find
an
appraiser
that
was
qualified
to
appraise
Road
Rights
away.
We
actually
approached
a
number
of
appraisers
in
a
canned
trying
to
find
someone
local
and
they
all
said.
P
P
F
Q
I
represent
the
family,
it
is
their
intent
to
sell
the
property
as
a
city
block,
which
is
what
it
would
end
up
being.
If
you
notice
the
one
section
that's
closest
to
the
livery,
barn
really
has
limited
value
or
use
because
of
the
way
it's
shaped.
So
at
this
point,
I
mean
obviously
we'd
still
we
have
to
get
it
purchased.
Q
Then
we
still
have
to
go
through
the
abandonment
process,
which
is
a
six-month
process,
but
the
long-term
goal
would
be
to
market
this
city
block
and
it's
the
Gateway
take
and
it's
outside
the
opportunities
I'm
afraid,
but
it
is
we
would.
We
would
feel
like
that.
It's
a
would
be
a
great
development
opportunity
in
whole.
Q
What
that
final
product
would
be
at
this
point
we
don't
know,
but
but
it's
you
know
this-
this
family,
this
property's
been
owned
by
the
family
for
for
many
many
years
and
they
actually
do
on
to
other
pieces
that
are
inside
the
opportunities
on
that.
That
will
be
for
sale
as
well,
but
we
do
kind
of
feel
like
this.
One
is
gives
us
a
clean
slate
to
work
with
and
that
it
does
have
some
potential
for
the
family,
as
well
as
the
community
and.
F
Q
You
know
I
mean
if
you
dream
big,
a
big
apartment
complex
with
with
retail
space
down
front
like
something
you
see
on
Coleman
Boulevard
in
Charleston,
but
we
don't
really
have
that
formulated
at
this
time.
But
we
do
feel
like
that.
The
only
opportunity
to
make
any
sort
of
impact
with
it
is
to
combine
the
into
one
right.
F
A
L
A
A
D
You
we
do
again
heaven.
This
was
an
odd
sort
of
circumstance
and
again
it
does
involve
Mary
Gwyn
reached
out
to
me.
We
coin
bow.
Llc
is
purchasing
property,
it
it's
approximately
50
acres.
That's
an
old
Airport
Road
right
there
at
the
curve
across
from
citizens
park
years
ago,
when
the
d-o-t
pardon
me,
when
the
d-o-t
re
oriented
the
footprint
of
old
Airport
Road
citizens
of
a
little
tiny
portion
of
citizens,
part
was
separated
by
the
road.
D
A
B
K
P
This
would
this
proposal
is
to
purchase
the
entire
sliver.
The
point
three
eight
acres
is
the
entire
sliver
I
have
reached
out
to
the
landowners,
but
have
a
substantial
portion
in
front
of
their
piece
that
is
Todd
gall
and
Mike
Caldwell
I
believe
they're.
Their
entities,
designer
lives
and
I
did
tell
them
about
this.
I
knew
they
would
see
the
postings
and
I
said
we
would
certainly
be
willing
to
convey
to
you
in,
and
they
said.
Ok,
you
know
they
wasn't
very
pressing
on
them.
I
would
say,
but
I
have
started
the
discussions
with
them.
P
If
they'd
be
interested
in
doing
that,
my
clients
do
have
this
under
contract
to
purchase.
It
was
a
foreclosed
property,
so
the
bank
is
pressing
very
hard
on
them.
To
get
it
closed,
we
did
have
to
get
an
extension
to
come
in
front
of
you.
So
in
the
interest
of
time.
That's
why
we
did
it
where
we
would
just
be
acquiring
the
entire
point.
Three
eight
acre
sliver
and
then
would
go
to
the
neighbors
and
see
if
they
would
like
to
acquire
the
extra
portion
I
mean.
Also
there
was
one
it
is
not
plaited.
P
On
the
aerial
maps,
so
the
15
acres
that
my
clients
are
purchasing
is
in
the
county.
It
would
be
their
preference
that
this
also
was
in
the
county,
so
they
don't
have
one
tiny
piece
in
the
city
and
the
rest
in
the
county.
They
may
seek
to
annex
into
the
city
at
some
point
in
the
future
when
they
know
their
plans
for
the
property.
