Description
City of Charleston Ad Hoc Budget Advisory Committee 9/14/22
A
D
Rick
we'll
pick
it
up
offline
thanks.
D
C
F
F
C
E
C
All
we're
sharing
with
them
back
in
2016,
we
had
a
bike
that
bike
lane
Crossing
closing.
A
C
C
That's
the
five
oh
yeah,
so
then
they'll
play
the
next
two
games
at
at
home.
Rick
is
the
best
of
five
of
the
best
of
three
I
got
the
impression
with
just
the
best
of
three
I
I
I
I
was
talking
to
them
this
morning
and
they
led
me
to
believe
it
was
the
best
of
five
Peter.
But
you
know
I
could
be
wrong.
I
well,
I
I,
read
it
pretty
quickly.
This
morning,
I
just
was
trying
to
follow
their
when
their
next
game
was.
If
we
have
another
game,
it's.
H
H
All
right
have,
we
did
y'all,
go
ahead
and
get
started.
No.
A
H
Yeah
and
and
Amy's
here
good.
So
let
me
go
ahead
and
call
this
ad
hoc
budget
advisory
committee
meeting
to
order
and
ask
you
to
join
me
in
a
moment
of
silence
in
prayer.
H
Amen,
thank
you
so
much
so
we're
just
going
to
be
walking
through
some
of
our
departmental
requests
for
next
year
and
it's
not
surprising
to
council
members
that
the
top
of
everyone's
request
is
to
take
some
consideration
which
we
have
been
all
doing
of,
of
General,
payroll
and
and
wages
for
and
benefits
for
next
year.
H
So
I
I
know
that's
on
everybody's
top
of
mind,
and
we
certainly
will
work
on
a
plan
to
do
this
as
much
as
we
can
for
next
year
on
that,
but
just
just
to
let
you
know
on
the
top
of
everyone,
every
Department's
prioritized
lists
is
is
to
address.
You
know,
pay
pay
overall
in
the
city,
but
that
being
said,
they
they
each
have
a
additional
requests,
for
you
know
specific
equipment,
some
some
positions
and
Amy's
going
to
walk
us
through
I.
Think
four
of
them
today.
H
What
their
specific
requests
are,
I,
guess
kind
of
over
and
above
their
their
normal
budgeting
needs
is,
is
the
way
I
think
we're
presenting
that
right.
Amy!
That's.
E
Right
so
it's
anything
about
their
base
budgets
and
so
we'll
start
with
planning,
preservation
and
sustainability
and
so
Robert's
on
here
to
kind
of
walk
everybody
through
that
Robert
I'm.
Assuming
do
you
have
a
PowerPoint.
F
I
do
if
yeah
I
have
a
share
button.
A
note
I
don't
have
share
so
Jennifer
Andrew.
If
I
could
possibly
share.
That
would
be
great
or
Amy
I.
E
F
All
right
so
just
again
just
to
kind
of
Orient
the
committee,
as
well
as
anyone
who
may
be
watching
this
real,
quick,
the
department
of
planning,
preservation,
sustainability.
Our
specific
mission
is
to
improve
the
built
environment
and
the
quality
of
life
for
all
people
in
the
City
of
Charleston.
F
We
do
this
with
a
focus
on
being
waterproof,
being
inclusive
and
being
balanced
in
our
approach,
and
then
you
can
see
some
of
our
core
functions
there,
as
well,
specifically
at
the
top
of
those
core
functions,
is
to
use
the
comprehensive
plan
that
the
city
council
adopted
as
their
guiding
policy
directive
and
use
that
in
our
efforts
to
create
a
more
resilient
and
Equitable
future
for
the
City
of
Charleston.
Again
more
specifics
are
listed
there
as
well,
not
to
belabor
them.
F
This
is
the
department,
as
of
now
and
and
I,
want
to
start
off
my
budget
presentation
by
acknowledging
the
mayor
and
this
Council
or
the
complete
Council,
as
well
as
this
committee
and
and
Amy,
and
the
team
in
bfrc.
Thanks
to
the
efforts
of
last
year's
budget
process,
we
were
able
to
improve
our
position
count
to
help
address
some
of
the
services
that
we
deliver
to
the
community.
F
Specifically,
we
were
able
to
get
a
position
in
our
planning
division
to
help
address
our
annexation
efforts
again,
not
to
I
think
we
have
this
kind
of
conversation
yesterday
not
to
push
out
our
boundaries
any,
but
to
take
care
of
some
of
those
inconsistencies
where
we
have
these
donut
holes
as
I.
Think.
A
recent
editorial
in
the
posting
Courier
reminded
everybody
where
we've
got
kind
of
these
breaks
in
city
services,
where
it
creates
quite
a
bit
of
consternation
and
confusion
for
folks
about
what
jurisdiction
has
responsibility
for
their
trash
storm
water
other
things.
F
So
that
position
has
been
a
a
great
ad.
Additionally,
we've
been
able
to
add
some
additional
support
in
our
preservation
division
to
help
us
address
issues
out
in
the
the
area
of
bar
jurisdiction,
where
we've
unfortunately
had
some
some
activity
occurring.
That
is
not
supporting
the
adopted
preservation
ordinance
for
the
City
of
Charleston.
So
this
is
what
the
department
looks
like
right
now.
This
team
supports
more
than
110
public
meetings
per
year.
F
That
includes
supporting
Council
Council
committee
meetings,
as
well
as
all
of
our
various
boards
and
committees
that
the
department
is
responsible
for
Staffing
this.
That
110
doesn't
include
all
of
the
public
Outreach
meetings,
the
efforts
that
we
do
in
conjunction
with
assisting
our
neighborhood
associations
with
their
meetings
and
other
special
event,
type
activity
that
this
team
also
supports
in
one
way
or
another.
F
So
again,
I'm
going
to
continue
with
this
tagline
that
I
used
in
last
year's
budget
presentation,
because
I
do
think
it's
still
very
relevant
to
the
discussion
around
planning
and
the
Department's
operations
coming
into
the
next
fiscal
year.
You
know
we
continue
to
be
this
evolving
historic
City
and
that
juxtaposition
of
those
two
concepts
of
trying
to
preserve
that
history
and
the
things
that
have
made
Charleston
great
and
and
make
Charleston
a
destination
not
just
for
folks
who
want
to
visit
and
go
home.
F
Conversation
I
think
around
what
does
Charleston
look
like
going
forward
once
again,
I've
broken
my
my
budget
request
into
kind
of
three
areas
of
of
I.
Think
categorization.
If
you
would
the
very
first
one
is
restoration
and
just
the
cost
of
service
adjustments.
This
category
you're
asking
for
a
little
over
or
a
little
under
29
000
in
additional
funding
from
our
current
base.
This
represents
about
1.8
percent
of
our
total
2023
requests,
and
it
is
an
increase
of
over
a
little
over
46
percent
of
what
we
requested
last
year.
F
This
would
restore
money
to
our
our
budget
program
that
was
cut
due
to
the
the
covid
cutbacks
that
occurred
a
couple
years
ago.
We
still
are
not
back
to
our
pre-pandemic
budgeting
level
for
things
as
simple
as
even
our
postage
certified
mail.
F
Additionally,
we
have
a
number
of
services
that
we
use,
such
as
municode
and
a
few
other
Digital
Services,
where
the
cost
of
those
Services
have
gone
up.
So
we
need
to
be
able
to
cover
those
costs
in
just
a
another
couple:
miscellaneous
things
we
need
to
replace
some
office
chairs.
That's
actually
added
a
few
thousand
dollars
to
this
list
and
then
providing
security
here
at
the
Gilliard
for
public
meetings.
F
Again,
there's
some,
the
the
police
department
did
a
security
audit,
there's
some
things
in
there
that
we'd
like
to
be
able
to
do
just
to
make
this
facility
during
all
those
night
public
meetings
that
we
do
be
more
secure
for
our
citizens
coming
as
well
as
our
staff
that
are
conducting
those
meetings.
And,
of
course,
if
you
have
any
questions
on
anything,
please
councilman
shade.
Please
stop
me
and
and
ask.
C
You
know
one
of
the
questions
have
come
up.
Some
of
my
constituents
Robert
about
security
is
I
know
we
have
a
a
security
guard
at
the
entrance,
but-
and
you
mentioned
security
for
public
meetings.
What
about?
What
is
your
charge?
I
mean
that
in
a
way,
what
is
your
responsibility
for
that
building
for
everyday
General
operation
time?
Is
that
coming
out
of
your
budget,
or
is
that
coming
out
of
somebody
else's
budget.
F
No,
the
the
regular
operation
security,
I
I'm,
not
sure
whose
budget
that
comes
out
of,
but
that
is
not
out
of
my
budget
I,
would
assume
that's
out
of
the
real
estate
or
facilities
budget.
However,
the
overtime
that
is
required
to
cover
Security
in
those
evening
meetings
for
Planning,
Commission,
bza
bar
those
things.
Those
have
been
requested
that
the
planning
department
make
that
budget
ask
to
cover
those
requests
since
they're
directly
attributable
to
our
work.
So.
C
E
So
it's
really
ours.
They
would
be
in
charge
of
anything
for
their
shows
or
anything
like
that
and
to
answer
your
question
in
terms
of
where
it's
budgeted,
we
have
a
building
budget
for
the
Gilead
Center
and
that's
where
we
budget
those
type
of
lead,
building
wide
expenses
did
that
answer
your
question.
E
That's
completely
our
expense,
we
don't
hire
security
for
their
shows
or
anything
like
that
with
their.
They
want
a
security
for
their
shows,
and
they
would.
That
would
be
their
responsibility,
but.
E
E
F
Yes,
sir,
so
so
that's
our
request
relative
to
just
continuing
to
try
to
get
an
effort
to
restore
those
pre-pandemic
budget
items.
Mainly
it's
in
our
supply
area.
The
the
one
area
that
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
I,
I
missed
and
I
apologize
was
prior
to
the
pandemic.
F
You
know
this
department
across
all
of
our
divisions,
really
does
quite
a
bit
of
work
in
the
community
and
Outreach,
and
and
what
have
you,
and
so
one
of
the
asks
that
I
get
routinely
and
I
know
our
folks
in
bfrc,
because
we
constantly
are
going
to
them
and
asking
well
if
I
move
a
little
bit
from
here
to
here
can
I
make
this
Hospitality
purchase
because
we
have
this
open
house
or
we
have
this
community
event
that
we're
trying
to
work
on
the
the
working
with
the
city
Expo
things
like
that,
so
we
are
again
requesting
to
get
that
hospitality
budget,
it's
a
relatively
small
amount,
but
having
that
ability
to
to
do
that
at
these
events
is
I.
F
Think
an
important
component
to
the
work
that
the
team
does
out
in
the
community
all
right
next
people
so
again,
I
don't
want
to
belabor.
This
I
think
this
goes
back
to
what
the
mayor
said
at
the
introduction.
We
all
know
that
the
backbone
of
City
operations
is
really
the
people,
the
folks
that
are
out
there
doing
the
work
every
day
and
the
services
that
they
are
providing
the
constituents
in
our
community,
and
so
this
one
we
are
asking
for
an
increase
relative
to
our
people
portion
of
our
budget.
F
If
you
would
of
approximately
287
thousand
dollars,
this
does
represent
just
under
19
percent
of
our
requests,
and
this
actually
is
a
reduction
from
what
we
had
requested
last
year.
In
this
category
we
are
looking
at
four
I'm.
Sorry,
a
five
new
positions
relative
to
this
request.
The
very
first
one
is
a
position
that
both
myself
and
Gianna
have
been
talking
about
for
a
while.
We
actually
do
this
service
with
one
of
our
planning
division
planners.
F
However,
the
the
need
and
the
the
focus
has
grown
such
that
neither
Gianna
or
I,
believe
that
it's
appropriate
for
it
to
be
a
secondary
or
in
the
tertiary
component
of
somebody's
responsibility.
I
think
collectively.
F
We
feel
like
this
position,
has
the
ability
to
have
really
drastic
change
in
in
getting
affordable
housing
projects
moving
through
our
very
involved
system
faster,
even
with
all
of
the
improvements
and
I
guess,
I
need
to
underscore
that
you
know
our
TRC
team,
each
of
our
departments
and
divisions
that
handle
development
have
worked
extraordinarily
hard
and
continue
to
work
hard
on
finding
ways
to
improve
getting
affordable
housing
projects
out
of
our
systems
as
quickly
as
possible.
F
However,
we
do
continue
to
find
a
need
for
someone
to
help
expedite
those
projects
and
that's
really
what
this
affordable
housing
concierge
offers
as
a
position,
someone
who
can
help
navigate
our
processes,
but
also
stay
on
everybody.
Both
the
city
side
of
the
team,
as
well
as
the
outside
side
of
the
team
on
these
affordable
housing
projects,
just
make
sure
that
things
aren't
getting
missed,
that
there
aren't
unnecessary
delays
occurring
from
any
lack
of
communication.
F
Or
what
have
you
so
an
important
position
we
would
add,
actually
be
looking
for,
like
I
said
Gianna
and
I.
Both
have
put
this
position
in
I
think
we
both
agree
to
as
long
as
one
of
us
gets
it.
We're
very
happy
I
think
that,
given
the
nature
of
the
development
work
that
we
do
in
the
planning
department,
this
is
we
would
make
a
really
good
fit.
F
We've
been
doing
this
work
for
a
while,
but
there
it
is
additionally
just
like
last
year,
you
know
the
work
of
the
Civic
Design
Center
keeps
expanding
the
requests
that
they
get
for
providing
additional
images
documents,
documentation,
assistance
with
design
projects,
both
internally
from
other
departments,
as
well
as
using
their
expertise
in
in
more
of
a
community
setting
that
continues
to
grow,
and
so
we're
once
again
requesting
another
Urban
Design
professional
for
the
Civic
Design
Center.
F
Just
cannot
underscore
enough
of
the
work
that
that
division
within
planning
does
and
and
how
much
it
helps
to
be
able
to
see
what
we're
talking
about.
Not
just
you
know
some
words
and
tables
and
some
numbers
on
a
on
a
page
but
actually
see
what
that
means,
often
in
real
time
in
some
of
these
meetings
that
that
that
team
helps
facilitate
next,
we
are
asking
for
a
Mobility
planner.
F
This
is
a
position
that
in
in
working
with
our
resiliency
officer
or
I'm,
sorry,
not
resili,
our
sustainability
officer
working
with
Katie
as
well
as
working
with
my
fellow
Robert
over
in
TNT.
F
We
believe
that
a
Mobility
planner
will
offer
us
an
opportunity
to
to
capitalize
on
some
of
the
mobility
related
efforts
that
are
going
on
in
the
community
and
regionally
and
provides
a
great
linkage
point
between
land
use
planning
that
we're
working
on
as
well
as
again,
some
of
those
Transportation
related
projects,
sidewalk
infill
projects,
things
like
that,
where
this
could
be
an
opportunity
to
have
a
person
once
again
sort
of
like
the
affordable
housing
concierge
dedicated
to
that
work,
working
across
departments
to
help
facilitate
and
get
some
of
those
projects
done,
as
well
as
work
with
our
capital
projects,
team
and
others
on
possible
Revenue
options
to
help
assist
with
some
of
those
those
projects.
F
Next
two
positions:
I
want
to
speak
about
just
for
a
second,
so
the
the
city
has
begun
the
work
of
creating
an
entrepreneurial
resource
resource
center.
This
will
be
in
the
city,
the
housing
project
at
James
Lewis.
This
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
that
we
have
there
and
the
work
has
already
begun.
We
expect
that
that
facility
will
come
online
and
be
available
to
us
to
begin
serving
the
community
there,
the
latter
part
of
next
year.
F
So
we
are
asking
to
begin
the
process
of
Staffing
that,
ultimately,
we
believe
that
we
will
need
a
partial
year
of
a
coordinator
that
will
help
get
the
folks
in
get
their
documentation
review
that
for
the
folks
that
are
going
to
be
using
that
Center
and
then
we
believe
again
because
of
the
admin
that's
going
to
come
with
that
and
some
additional
admin
that
we
already
have
a
need
for
in
our
business
and
Neighborhood
Services
Group
that
we
also
need
in
an
administrative
professional
to
assist
us
with
there.
F
F
In
addition
to
what
the
mayor
said
and
what
you
all
that
are
on,
particularly
on
the
HR
committee,
have
talked
about
with
regard
to
compensation,
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
found,
particularly
in
the
planning
profession
and
the
folks
that
work
in
the
planning
department
in
that
field
in
general,
in
addition
to
being
properly
compensated
financially,
one
of
the
other
big
things
that
helps
attract
and
retain
and
retain,
is
a
huge
piece
of
this.
F
Is
the
opportunity
to
continue
to
develop
professionally
the
ability
to
be
able
to
network
with
other
Professionals
in
the
field
attend
learning
things
you
know,
planning
as
a
profession
is
not
static.
It
continues
to
evolve.
Councilman,
Appel,
I
think
you
know,
we've
had
some
of
these
conversations
before
about
the
the
ongoing
nature
of
you
know
what
is
zoning
and
what
is?
F
So
we've
made
a
pretty
significant
request
to
be
able
to
reinstitute
and
I,
say
reinstitute,
because
my
understanding
is
there
used
to
be
some
budget
for
staff
development
that
had
fallen
off
in
more
recent
years,
even
prior
to
the
pandemic,
so
we're
building
that
as
a
new
request.
So
those
are
and
then
finally,
over
time,
you're
going
to
probably
hear
this
from
every
Department
again.
F
You
know
we've
been
working
for
the
last
couple
years
where,
when
folks
need
to
work
a
meeting
at
night-
and
these
are
again
the
hourly
folks,
not
the
not
the
folks
like
myself
and
other
department
heads
or
managers,
but
the
the
hourly
folks,
the
base
salary
folks
when
they
have
to
work
a
meeting
until
eight
o'clock
at
night.
That
means
the
next
day
or
Friday
they're
working
a
shorter
day,
which
means
there's
reviews
that
are
not
getting
done.
F
There
are
customers
that
are
going
to
be
helped
on
Monday
that
we
could
have
gotten
back
to
a
phone
call
or
what
have
you
on
on
Friday
but
because
we
had
to
offset
those
hours
is
not
happening
so
we're
making
a
request
to
be
able
to
have
some
overtime
in
our
budget,
specifically
for
our
zoning
and
preservation
teams,
who
you
know
we're
quite
a
few
night
meetings.
F
So
this
would
be
what
our
org
chart
would
look
like
if
we
were
successful
in
being
able
to
add
these
positions
that
I've
requested
here,
we
would
add
that
affordable
housing
concierge
to
my
admin
team,
we
would
the
ERC
positions
would
be
working
with
our
office
of
women
and
minority-owned
businesses
or
Enterprise
Manager,
the
mobility
planner.
We
would
look
to
add
to
our
planning
Division
and
then,
of
course,
that
additional
Urban
designer
we
would
look
to
add
to
this
event.
Design
Center
any
questions
on
people
and
seeing
none
all
right.
C
I
have
a
question
for
you.
Yes,
sir
and
I
had
to
step
off
for
a
few
seconds,
but
when
you
go
back
to
the
public
review,
boards
and
I
had
a
step
out
if
I
miss
this
I'm.
Sorry,
but
one
of
the
things
and
councilmember
Wayne
and
I
had
discussed
this
following
the
history
commission
meeting
the
folks
who
serve
on
these
boards.
C
C
I
mean
not
only
do
we
not
pay
them
anything
if
they
Park
in
a
garage
or
on
the
street.
We
don't
even
cover
the
cost
of
doing
that.
I,
don't
even
think
we
Supply
them
water
or
coffee
or
any
kind
of
Refreshments
doing
the
meetings
if
they
bring
something.
That's
fine,
but
I
really
do
think
that
all
of
our
boards
and
commissions,
whether
it's
in
your
department
or
somebody
else's
Department,
we
should
be
covering
the
costs
of
parking
and
at
least
just
some
basic
Refreshments
for
these
folks.
C
That's
at
least
we
could
probably
do
for
the
folks
who
dedicate
that
time
and
energy
for
us.
So
that
should
be
a
very
small
item,
but
that's
something
I
think
that
all
department,
heads
I,
would
hope
who
are
responsible
for
more
boards
or
commissions
members,
but
take
that
into
consideration.
F
So
councilman,
so,
while
I
can't
speak
for
every
other
boards,
I
do
know
that
we
do
cover
validate
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
for
parking
for
our
board
members
that
it
that
support
Planning,
Commission
bza
bar
here
at
the
gillyard,
so
I,
don't
know
about
if
they
attend
things
at
other
facilities.
But
I
do
know
that
we
validate
their
parking
here
Additionally.
F
F
F
All
right
so
then,
finally,
we
do
have
some
projects.
These
projects,
as
you
might
imagine,
just
because,
whenever
you're
doing
a
a
project,
they
generally,
although
nothing
compared
to
the
extent
of
what
you
get
in
a
capital
project
they
generally
are
bigger
dollar
amounts
more,
more
zeros
with
asterisks
in
them,
so
the
projects
portion
of
our
requests
do
equate
to
just
over
1.2
million
dollars.
F
This
does
account
for
almost
80
percent
of
our
20
23
requests.
It
is
less,
though,
than
what
we
requested
last
year
by
almost
19
percent,
and
part
of
that
is
because
we
last
year
we
requested
full
funding
for
the
zoning
ordinance
and
the
peninsula
plan.
F
It
was
funded
in
part,
and
so
this
year
we
only
have
to
ask
for
a
part
of
that
funding.
So
the
the
big
ticket
item,
if
you
would,
is
going
to
be
that
zoning
ordinance
rewrite
phase
two
funding.
Last
year
you
did
fund
the
first
half
of
what
we
believe
will
be
a
million
dollar
project.
F
So
we
don't
know
what
numbers
are
going
to
come
back
on
that
and
we
all
know
what
is
happening
or
has
been
happening
in
the
marketplace
with
regards
to
just
escalating
costs,
even
for
things
like
services
that
does
play
into
the
next
one,
where
we
have
requested
some
additional
money
in
this
budget
request
for
the
peninsula
plan,
I
think
we
were
a
little
ambitious
in
our
or
conservative
in
our
budget
request
last
year
for
what
we
thought
we
could
be
cure
for
those
additional
services
that
we
need
to
support
staff
who
will
take
the
lead
on
the
peninsula
plan?
F
So
it
won't
be
a
consultant-led
project,
but
we
we
did
acknowledge
and
we
do
acknowledge
that
there
is
expertise
that
we
need
in
order
to
do
a
the
the
kind
of
job
that
the
community
and
the
neighborhoods
on
the
peninsula
need
for
that
plan
to
be
successful.
We
we
need
some
additional
Services
that
we
can
procure
here
and
we
need
a
little
additional
funding
for
that
project.
F
F
Think
it's
a
Rochelle
state,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
up
fit
that
we're
going
to
have
to
complete
the
the
the
outfitting
for
the
c-store
Convenience
Store
Market
element
of
it,
as
well
as
the
the
co-working
type
operation
that
we're
going
to
have
for
the
the
main
portion
of
the
entrepreneurial
Resource
Center.
Additionally,
we
we've
requested
money
once
again
to
be
able
to
try
to
update
our
historic
property
surveys.
F
All
of
our
surveys
for
our
historic
districts
are
woefully
out
of
date
that
compromises
our
ability
to
get
grant
funding
to
help
offset
costs
for
projects
both
private
and
public
projects
in
those
areas.
Additionally,
and
then-
and
this
won't
come
as
a
surprise
to
some
of
y'all
who've-
been
in
some
of
these
email
chains-
there's
other
neighborhoods
outside
of
the
peninsula
that
wish
to
explore
the
possibility
of
their
their
neighborhood
receiving
some
kind
of
historic,
designation
and
acknowledgment.
F
Additionally,
this
is
an
area
of
funding
request
that
allows
us
to
leverage
the
city
dollars
with
grant
opportunities.
In
fact,
we
think
there's
opportunity
for
up
to
30
plus
thousand
dollars
from
the
state
that
if
we
have
city
funding
to
to
do
some
portion
of
this
project,
maybe
we
don't
do
it
all
in
one
year
that
we
can
get
some
some
grant
funding.
Finally,
we
have
the
settlement
communities.
F
You
know
that
was
a
big
piece
of
what
came
out
of
the
comprehensive
plan
effort,
and
so
we've
been
working
diligently
to
take
that
to
the
next
level,
Council
approved
via
Ways
and
Means
A
few
meetings
ago,
a
Grant
application
to
be
submitted
to
get
some
additional
funds
so
that
we
can
go
to
that
next
place
in
terms
of
inventory
and
researching
our
settlement
communities
and
do
specific
Outreach
to
those
communities
to
find
out.
F
You
know
what
they
need,
what
they
want
from
us
with
regard
to
helping
them
take
whatever
Next
Step
they
may
be
looking
for
for
those
neighborhoods
and
communities,
and
then
finally,
there
we've
been
working
in
our
BNS
group,
specifically
on
a
King
Street
facade,
Improvement
program.
You
know,
while
vacancies
are
way
down
on
King
Street,
we
still
do
have
some
vacancies
we'd
like
to
see
if
we
have
an
opportunity
to
create
some
kind
of
incentive
or
programming
to
help
improve
those
those
properties.
F
So
with
that,
this
is
kind
of
the
summary
of
Where,
where
our
budget
requests
are
for
fy23
for
planning
and
preservation.
A
fair
amount
of
money,
obviously
is
in
those
projects.
Most
of
those
projects,
though,
are
one-time
expenditures.
They
don't
have
ongoing
reoccurring
costs.
F
We
do
have
obviously
with
restoration
requests
in
our
particularly
new
positions.
We
would
have
some.
You
know
ongoing
costs
relative
to
those
requests
and
with
that
I'm
prepared
to
answer
any
questions,
foreign.
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
Can
you
touch
again
on
this?
The
survey
for
I
guess
historic,
Outreach
and
settlement
communities
beyond
the
peninsula.
What
is
that
for
again
yeah.
F
F
Some
today
is
my
God
help
me
46th
birthday,
and
so
some
of
those
surveys
are
even
older
than
I
am
at
this
point
because
they're
from
earlier
in
the
70s,
so
so
I
guess,
if
y'all
want
to
give
me
a
birthday
present,
just
rubber
stamp
this,
and
that
would
be
great
anyway
happy
birthday.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So.
F
F
Maryville
ashleyville
is
one
of
those
areas
where
there's
there's
I,
don't
know.
If
it
clearly
calls
itself
a
settlement
Community
or
at
least
it
holds
a
lot
of
the
characteristics
of
a
settlement
Community
where
again
they're
I'm
sorry
it
is,
it
is
yeah.
So
so
that
would
be
one
of
the
communities
where
we
would
be
looking
to
do
a
deeper
dive
on.
F
You
know
well
that
one's
a
I
think
a
little
easier
in
that
those
the
boundaries
of
that
Community
have
been
pretty
well
established,
but
there
are
other
settlement
communities
where
again,
just
because
lack
of
documentation
relative
to
settlement
communities,
they
just
weren't,
given
a
lot
of
attention
or
or
thought
about.
Unfortunately,
you
know
the
extent
of
those
settlement
communities.
Jack
Primus
is
one
you
know
up
on
Cane
Hoy,
where
we
will
be
doing
some
of
this
work.
F
So
it's
to
work
with
those
communities,
not
not
tell
them
anything
to
be
clear,
but
to
work
with
them
in
trying
to
help
understand
where
the
the
kind
of
the
boundaries
of
the
community
are
and
what
the
community's
interests
are
relative
to
you
know
are
they
looking
for
future
development
and
what
would
that
look
like
within
the
community?
Are
they
not
looking
for
future
development?
F
Are
they
trying
to
kind
of
protect
that
neighborhood
that
Community
kind
of
in
that
that
state,
in
an
effort
to
hold
on
to
that
history
that
that
you
know
created
them
as
they
are
so
on.
A
That
note,
let
me
ask
you
a
question.
Actually
have
you
ever
seen
where
a
community
like
Maryville
or
ashleyville
had
something
passed?
Where
would
prevent
people
from
buying
two
or
three
houses,
tearing
them
down
abandoning
property
lines
and
putting
in
mcmansions.
A
E
F
No,
no,
there
are
there
are
so
you
know,
though
there
are.
There
are
different
zoning
controls
that
you
can
use
to
limit
the
scale
of
development.
If
that
is
the
the
community
want
to
keep
from
the
creation
of
the
quote:
unquote:
mcmansion
type
development.
Now
again,
as
we
continue
to
balance
the
protection
of
of
neighborhoods
against
the
you
know,
the
need
for
additional
housing
and
affordable
housing
and
those
kinds
of
things
we're
going
to
want
to
have
a
larger
conversation
about.
F
You
know
those
types
but
we're
going
to
get
into
a
lot
of
that
I
think
with
the
zoning
rewrite,
but
to
your
point:
yes,
so
that
would
that
is
one
of
the
tools
that
can
exist
under
zoning
controls
that
can
minimize
reduce
opportunities
for
the
consolidation
of
lots
and
the
creation
of
you
know
mcmansion
type
developments,
particularly
in
a
historic,
Community.
Okay,
thank
you,
foreign.
D
Don't
don't
tell
Matt
Fountain
I'm
intrigued
by
this
affordable
housing,
concierge
position
and
I
I'm
happy
to
see
that
this
is
part
of
the
budget
request,
because,
if
you've
spoken
to
Gianna,
if
you've
spoken
to
others
in
the
private
sector
that
are
trying
to
do
affordable
housing
in
the
City
of
Charleston,
it's
very
it's
very
complicated,
and
sometimes
we
can,
you
know,
be
a
bit
of
our
worst,
our
own
enemy,
a
lot
of
times
when
you
have.
D
D
D
Do
we
envision
whether
through
this
staff
person
or
otherwise,
we
can
start
developing
ideas
for
how
we
can
perhaps
amend
our
zoning
ordinances,
amend
some
of
our
practices
to
help
provide
less
friction
in
the
regulatory
process
for
affordable
housing
projects,
while
making
sure
we
take
care
of
storm
water
and
aesthetic
considerations?
And
things
like
that.
F
Absolutely
so
the
for
those
of
you
who
know
Chloe
stuber.
She
acts
in
this
role
currently,
but
she
splits
her
Focus
between
trying
to
take
care
of
this
working
with
our
settlement,
Community
effort
working
with
our
other
projects
in
our
planning
division,
which
is
why
we
feel
like
between
Gianna
and
I.
We
feel
like
we
need
this
to
be
a
full-time.
This
is
someone's
focused
effort,
but
that's
absolutely
a
big
part
of
what
she
does
in
that
capacity.
Is
the
affordable
housing
concierge?
F
F
Honestly,
if
you
looked
at
our
calendars,
you'd
see
probably
a
dozen
meetings
a
month,
at
least
on
all
of
our
calendars
specifically
around
this
issue,
because
it
is
important
to
us,
but
it's
also
one
of
those
unwieldy
things
that
just
trying
to
get
your
hands
around
everything
can
be
difficult.
So
it's
something
we're
continually
continuing
to
work
on
and
this
position
would
give
us
a
point
person
whose
primary
focus
is
just
that.
D
That
is
just
fantastic,
so
well
done
on
that
and
I
think
we
should
fund
that
position.
I
think
it's
very
important!
Thank
you.
A
I
do
have
one
more
along
the
line
that
you
just
finished
talking
about
when
it
comes
to
doing
a
lot
of,
in
particular
owner
occupy,
affordable
housing
that
can
be
placed
west
of
the
peninsula.
You
know
West
Ashley,
James,
Island,
Johns
Island,
sometimes
can
take.
A
The
form
of
you
know
eight
six,
eight
ten
Lots
our
rules
right
now,
I
think
if,
if
it's
over
now
think
of
the
well
before
they
have
to
comply
with
the
same
guidelines,
basically
as
somebody
doing
a
200
house
subdivision
over
at
odd
mode,
Miss
Shaw
Johnson
be
familiar
with
this
I
think
it's
eight
townhouses
we're
trying
to
do
over
there
somehow
rigged.
It's
all
affordable
housing.
A
Eventually,
it's
for
owner
occupied,
affordable
housing,
but
our
subdivision
rules,
I
think
go
down,
goes
down
a
little
bit
too
far
to
the
point
to
win
that
adds
to
the
cost
of
creating
a
photobomb,
so
I
think
that
a
simpler
guideline
should
be
I,
don't
know,
maybe
it's
10
lines,
it
certainly
shouldn't
it
shouldn't
be
less
than
10
and
that's
where
we
are
now.
A
You
know
the
guidelines
for
doing
a
a
new
subdivision.
That's
going
to
be
put
on,
100
acres
is
one
thing,
but
it
shouldn't
be
the
same
for
infill
and
particularly
when
you're
trying
to
create
affordability.
So
if
you
can
look
into
that,
as
we
look
into
this
Adu
I
know,
the
Adu
is
already
on
the
agenda,
but
the
process
of
getting
victories
one
at
a
time
is
there
a
way?
Have
you
seen
a
way
that
we
can
maybe
have
a
charette
around
these
ideas?
A
Councilman
Pell
has
been
pumping
ideas
since
he's
been
on
the
council.
We
have
good
conversations,
but
getting
to
the
actual
action
steps
is
the
transition
that
we
need
to
create
more
efficiencies
around
anyway.
I
just
want
to
throw
that
out.
F
Not
to
oversell
it
but
I
think
once
we
get
the
process
begun
for
the
zoning
rewrite
councilman
you're
going
to
see
a
lot
more
of
that
Synergy
of
kind
of
conversations,
throwing
some
some
different
ideas
together
and
see
where
we
can
get
more
than
just
one-off
victories
as
we're
working
through
that
process.
I
I
truly
believe
we
will.
We
will
see
a
lot
of
that
as
we
are
working
through
that
process.
E
Okay,
next,
we
have
Recreation
and
I
believe
Lori
is
on
to
go
through
that.
B
I
am
Amy.
Are
you
going
to
share
your
screen
with
the
with
the
budget
request
information
I
can
if
you'd
like
me
to
Sure
that'd
be
great.
B
So
let
me
start
by
saying
that
that
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
to
talk
to
you
all
I'll
try
not
to
go
too
in
depth,
because
just
like
Robert
I
can
talk
forever
about
the
work
that
happens
over
here
in
the
recreation
department.
So
I
don't
want
to
take
up
all
the
time,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
I
go
through
and
at
least
explain
and
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
so
I'm
going
to
be
one
of
the
few
people
in
the
world
that
are
going
to
share
that.
B
While
coved
was
a
terrible
thing
in
our
in
our
community
and
I
know,
there
was
lots
of
loss.
There
was
one
positive
thing
that
I
can
see
every
day
that
came
out
of
coved,
and
that
was
our
communities,
love
and
desire
to
have
Parks
and
Recreation
facilities
and
programs
and
events
and
activities
in
their
communities
and
around
where
they
live
and
work.
We
have
seen
that
since
the
since
the
original
shutdown-
and
we
continue
to
see
it
now-
our
numbers
and
participation
are
back
above
pre-coved
numbers
we're
at
close
to
6
800
children.
B
This
fall
playing
sports,
which
is
huge,
so
we're
we're
very
excited
about
that
and
you
couple
it
with
the
with
the
traction
that
we've
started,
seeing
from
The
Parks
and
Recreation
master
plan
and
the
the
use
of
some
some
funds
for
this
year
that
had
not
been,
we
had
not
knew
we
were
going
to
have
that
are
going
to
be
put
into
some
facilities,
and
then
the
discussions
we've
been
having
at
the
standing
Rec
committee
level
about
how
we
could
fund
different
Parks
and
Recreation
projects
that
are
needed
in
each
part
of
the
community.
B
It's
just
a
lot
of
great
things
that
are
happening
in
Recreation
right
now,
so
I'm
happy
that
we're
I'm
able
to
talk
to
you
all.
The
theme
to
my
budget
this
year
is
is
returned
to
coved
numbers,
because,
basically,
that's
what
we're
asking
for
I'm,
not
looking
to
do
an
ad
to
staff
I'm
not
looking
to
to
create
new
this
or
that
we're
basically
trying
to
regain
funding
that
we
had
prior
to
coved
when
covet
hit.
We
understood
our
role
in
helping
to
keep
expenses
down
while
still
providing
Services.
We
did
that.
B
We've
used
soccer
goals
where
we've
welded
them
back
together.
We've
we've
kept
orders
down
and
equipment
and
supplies.
We've
we've
cobbled
together
orders
for
different
things
in
our
office
supplies
departmentally
to
make
things
work
and-
and
we
really
reached
the
point
of
now-
we've
got
to
have
some
of
these
funds.
B
These
expenses
returned
back
to
where
they
were
before
so
I'll
quickly
hit
some
of
that
over
time
in
our
department
has
essentially
not
existed
since
coved
and
in
order
to
have
full-time
folks
working
for
you
out
in
the
field
on
and
in
my
in
my
department,
it
is
actually
out
in
the
field
they're
standing
on
ball
fields
and
Courts
at
night,
so
we
need
overtime
and
then
I'm
going
to
run
through
a
Litany
of
other
things
that
are
going
to
sound,
like
wow
you're,
trying
to
buy
things
for
the
department.
B
But
it's
really
just
passing
them
on
to
our
program
number.
So
when
you
see
uniforms
and
protective
clothing,
that's
the
the
right,
the
the
increase
in
cost
for
ordering
uniforms
for
our
Sports
programs
right
now,
there's
a
shortage
of
another
number
of
items,
including
things
like
football
helmets
and
cleats,
and
things
like
that.
So
all
of
the
costs
for
all
those
things
are
really
really
high
right
now,
including
the
uniforms
we
put.
All
the
kids
in
the
printing
costs
are
up,
so
I
need
to
have
that
number
restored.
B
The
pool
supplies,
while
we've
had
great
cost
savings
from
MLK
and
having
that
new
dome
put
on
that,
our
parks
department
was
able
to
put
on.
We
still
have
a
need
for
pool
supplies
in
the
form
of
fluorine
and
other
chemicals
that
we
have
to
buy
every
year
use
Sports.
We
need
to
continue
to
buy
and
add
to
our
our
ability
to
have
an
inventory
for
balls
and
equipment.
We
have
held
off
buying
new
windscreens
at
Beau,
Charleston,
tennis
center
and
Maybank
Tennis
Center.
B
We
need
to
purchase
some
of
those,
and
then
we've
got
a
number
of
of
other
supply
issues
where
we've
not
purchased
new
flooring
for
our
swimming
pools,
just
things
that
we
need
to
buy
in
order
to
offer
our
programs
and
have
them
cover
the
robust
number
of
community
members
that
are
participating.
We've
got
a
couple
of
employee
travel
and
training
requests.
That's
basically,
though,
for
our
swim
program
and
our
gymnastics
program
both
of
those
programs
have
coaches
and
and
City
and
instructors
who
must
travel
with
those
those
kids
as
they're
participating
so
those
costs.
B
Give
you
a
great
positive
story:
Daniel
Island
rec
center,
since
it's
come
online,
is
really
really
doing.
Well,
the
the
revenues
are
running
High.
The
the
the
participation
is
really
good.
The
the
church
that
we're
now
renting
to
on
Sundays
had
their
big
kind
of
welcoming
for
everybody.
Last
Sunday
I
think
the
mayor
was
there
and
they
had
a
record
number
of
folks.
So
things
are
really
going
well
on
Daniel
Island
and
the
residents
they're
enjoying
and
filling
up
the
rec
center
that
we
provided
them.
B
Our
tennis
programs
are
bringing
in
more
more
Revenue
as
well.
That's
the
the
teaching
programs
that
we
have
so
where
we
have
asked
for
additional
expenses.
That
revenues
come
coming
in
high
as
well
got
a
number
of
Capital
Equipment
items
that
are
that
are
in
here.
Non-Capital
include
equipment
items
things,
we've
not
purchased
from
the
past
that
we
now
need
to
replace
things
like
mats
in
our
gymnastics,
center
tables
and
chairs,
and
our
playground,
buildings
and
community
centers
we've
got
some
new
stairs.
We've
got
a
new
lift.
We
need
to
purchase
for
pools.
B
We
need
to.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
enough
dry
deck
flooring.
So
all
of
those
things
are
things
we've
not
had
money
for
in
the
last
three
years,
so
we're
asking
for
that
to
be
put
back
into
our
budget.
Additionally,
we've
asked
for
some
part-time
and
seasonal
dollars
to
go
into
our
budget,
as
our
numbers
have
increased
and
we're
now
running
a
full
calendar
again
and
we'll
end
with,
with
with
just
a
couple
of
comments
that
I
can
make
in
terms
of
our
revenues
being
up
this
year.
B
Our
expenses
are
up,
but
our
revenues
are
up
as
well.
That
trend
has
been
across
else
the
board
and
everything
from
concessions
to
summer
camps
to
programs.
So
we're
very
excited
about
that.
But,
in
addition
to
revenues
being
up,
we've
also
increased
the
number
of
Partnerships
we're
working
with
across
the
community.
I
know
you
all
approved
a
an
agreement
we
have
with
the
wings
program.
That's
now
started
at
Arthur
Christopher
Community
Center.
B
We've
now
got
35
kids
in
that
program,
we're
doing
the
same
good
type
of
Partnerships
at
other
places
like
Saint
Julian,
we're
working
with
with
Charleston
County
School
District
we're
working
with
be
a
mentor
working
with
Cradle
to
Career.
The
boxing
program
over
at
1099
King
Street
is
going
really
well
and
they're
having
good
numbers
over
there.
B
So
there's
a
lot
of
Partnerships
that
are
happening
in
the
community
that
don't
necessarily
require
a
city,
employee
or
a
city
dollar
to
run,
but
because
of
the
the
facilities
that
you
all
help
fund
and
provide
for
each
area
of
the
community.
We're
able
to
bring
in
Partners
to
help
really
give
it
a
more
robust
programming
and
I
think
that's
really
being
seen
in
some
of
our
our
communities.
I'm
hearing
great
things,
I'm
also
happy
to
tell
you
all
that
the
business
Enterprise
Manager
that
our
Parks
and
Rec
master
plan
recommended
that
we
hire.
B
We'll
have
a
new
business,
Enterprise
Manager,
starting
with
our
rec
department
and
that
will
hopefully
bring
in
additional
dollars
and
and
and
partners
and
programs,
not
necessarily
to
bring
in
tourists
but
to
provide
things
that
will
make
our
own
community
and
our
own
citizens
have
much
more
participation,
we're
going
to
definitely
work
on
wellness
and
helpfulness,
and
things
like
that,
so
I'm
very
excited
about
that
position
getting
started
and
that
it
could
mean
some
some
additional
Revenue
coming
into
the
department
that
we
would
in
turn
put
right
back
into
our
citizens,
which
is
what
we
do.
B
You
know
our
dollars
are
not
spent
on
on.
You
know,
fancy
this
or
or
that
it's
we've
learned
to
work
pretty
well
in
this
new
new
world,
we're
doing
a
lot
of
webinars
so
that
everybody's
getting
they're
keeping
their
trainings
up.
It's
kept
the
cost
down,
it's
kept
travel
down,
but
we
are.
We
are
busy
doing
that
work
and
and
need
to
have
all
of
our
funding
restored
to
that
level
of
free
covet.
B
To
continue
to
do
that,
so
I
I,
don't
really
have
anything
specifically
that
I
need
to
to
share
with
you,
except
to
say
thank
you
for
considering
our
additional
funding
and
I'll
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
C
C
Two
two
questions
and
one
of
the
issues
that
came
up
earlier
this
summer
was
swim
instructors.
Yes,
so
are
we
covering
to
make
sure
that
we
have
all
that
that
taken
care
of
well.
B
I'll
start
answering
that
by
thank
you
for
helping
with
the
15
an
hour
increase,
yet
you
all
voted
on
a
couple
of
meetings
ago.
I'm
hopeful
that
you
all
will
continue
to
look
at
the
pay
metrics
across
the
board.
B
B
Some
of
we
had
some
parents
that
are
interested
in
their
lifeguard
certification
so
that
they
can
help
out
more
and
be
lifeguards,
and
so
we've
got
a
new
lifeguard
certification
class.
This
coming
weekend,
we've
got
2
12
of
those
folks
signed
up
to
take
that
certification.
We
did
a
lifeguard
certification
two
weekends
ago,
we'll
be
doing
another
one
in
October,
so
we
are
definitely
reaching
out
council
member
said
trying
to
trying
to
get
certifications
out
there
in
the
community
so
that
we
can
hire
more
folks.
B
The
other
portion
of
that
that
I
think
is
helpful
to
us
is
that
we
are
going
to
start
working
with
budget
and
finance
to
start
cobbling
some
part-time
positions
together
into
full-time
positions,
trying
to
find
folks
that
are
looking
for
full-time
work,
there's
just
not
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
right
now
in
the
job
market.
Looking
for
part-time
work,
we
just
don't
have
that
many
applications
coming
in,
but
that
is
key
to
us
as
being
able
to
have
lifeguards
and
have
swim
lessons
in
the
future.
So.
C
B
You
know
if
you
looked
at
other
places
around
us,
they
all
do
some
different
things
and
a
lot
of
people
say
well
Lori.
Why
don't
we
just
do
a
waiver?
Why
don't
we
just
do
this?
We're
we're
a
we're,
a
public
type,
a
pool,
and
because
of
that
we
are
required
to
meet
the
DHEC
requirement
to
the
letter.
B
B
We
are
held
to
a
very
high
public
standard
because
we
are
a
public
pool,
the
closer
we
get
to
twenty
dollars
an
hour,
the
more
it's
going
to
help
make
us
a
place
that
folks
are
going
to
say
wow,
they
look
how
much
they're
paying
we
have
people
that
leave
us
for
50
cents
an
hour.
So
that's
just
the
job
market
right
now
and
and
so
the
closer
you
bring
all
of
those
hourly
rates
up.
B
C
I
would
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
we
need
to
do
because
swim,
lessons
such
an
integral
part
of
our
community
I
mean
we
in
in
a
drowning,
is
so
preventable
in
losing
one
person
one
child,
because
we
didn't
have
adequate
Staffing,
because
we
didn't
pay
enough
money
is
on
on
us,
so
I
I
would
just
whatever
you
need
to
do
whatever
you
need
from
Council.
You
certainly
got
my
support
to
make
sure
that
that
is
funded
to
the
level.
You
think
it
needs
to
be
funded.
C
B
And
I
appreciate
some
of
the
creative
thinking
that
came
out
of
last
summer
council
member
councilmember
Waring
put
me
in
touch
with
Barbara
dillagarde
over
at
CCSD,
and
they
were
able
to
supply
a
couple
of
of
water
safety
instructors
to
teach
classes
and
we
made
pool
space
available
and,
and
so
that
was
a
cost
savings
for
both
the
district
and
the
city.
And
yet
City
children
got
those
lessons.
B
So
so
there
was
some
creative
thinking
going
on,
but
we
are
definitely
working
to
make
sure
that
we're
offering
as
many
trainings
as
we
can
and
I
know,
HR
is
is
tired
of
hearing
me
talk
about
the
need
for
for
higher
higher
wages,
but
I'll
continue
to
talk.
C
And
one
one
more
question:
before
I,
let
you
go
and
I
would
presume
this
is
more
under
the
parks.
Department,
expense,
but
I
saw
earlier
in
one
of
our
media's
lighting
for
the
tennis
centers.
Yes,
Jessica
Paula
to
the
parks
department
budget,
not
your
budget.
B
Any
kind
of
improvement
to
a
a
facility
like
that
will
show
up
in
the
parks
department,
so
the
lighting
for
Charleston
Tennis,
Center
Maybank
Tennis
Center,
will
both
will
come
out
of
the
the
parks
department
budget.
Typically,
we
kind
of
draw
the
line
in
smaller
equipment
like
bleachers
and
players,
see
players,
benches
and
Nets
soccer
goals.
Those
kind
of
things
those
are
those
are
covered
out
of
recreation
and
the
bigger
items
are
covered
in
our
parks
department.
So,
okay.
C
B
C
A
Good
job
bro
I
want
to
start
off
by
thanking
you
and
I'll.
Tell
you
why?
Two
years
ago,
when
we
were
in
the
depth
trying
to
put
together
covert
budget
I
mean
we
were
down
to
literally
counting
pennies
and
I
remember,
you
went
back
and
looked
through
your
numbers
again
and
came
up
with
some
ideas
that
I
remember
seeing
somewhere
between
two
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
somewhere
like
that,
but
it
was.
A
It
was
a
breath
of
fresh
air
when
you
don't
want
to
furlough
people
and
keep
people
on
board.
Okay,
that's.
H
A
And
for
you
to
be
coming
now
and
asking
just
to
be
restored
to
where
you
were
prior
I,
just
can't
tell
you
how
highly
that
speaks
of
what
you
do
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
what
you
did
a
year
year
and
a
half
ago
I
mean
you,
you
step
right
up
and
quite
frankly,
being
out
here
in
the
hinterland
and
Council.
We
don't
know
the
specifics
sometimes,
but
you
know
dollar
conceived
would
be
better
years,
so
so
I.
A
We
all
appreciate
you
so
much
I
think
you
need
to
know
that
when
it
comes
to
WL
Stevens
pool,
you
know
we
renting
the
psds
I
mean
changes
boxing
playground.
He
is
50..
A
How
much
are
we
paying
for
that,
and
is
that
becoming
a
new
normal,
that's
and
that
can't
become
a
new
normal
W.L
Stevens
is
surrounded
by
got
to
be
a
thousand
homes,
if
not
more.
B
Right
well,
councilmember
I.
First,
thank
you
for
for
the
kind
words
I
appreciate
that
I
try
to
spend
the
city's
money
like
I,
do
my
own
and
that's
pretty
carefully
so
so
anyway,
but
speaking
about
renting
St,
Andrews
parks
and
playgrounds.
A
couple
of
things
about
that.
B
It's
allowed
us
and
the
cost
is
pretty
nominal.
They're
charging
us
a
fee,
a
per
Lane
per
hour
fee
that
includes
the
lane
rental
and
their
price
for
lifeguards,
but
we're
able
to
split
our
practices
up
a
little
bit
between
our
between
MLK
and
their
pool
and
and
take
care
of
our
kids
in
the
winter
months
in
that
pool.
B
It's
also
helped
because
it's
a
slow
time
in
their
swimming
pool
and
it's
allowed
the
PSD
to
keep
their
pool
kind
of
moving
for
their
members.
It's
not
a
long-term
solution,
but
it's
certainly
affordable
enough
right
now
and
our
parents,
those
300
families
of
smart
swimmers,
those
those
families
pay
to
train
with
our
with
our
swim
coaches,
to
go
to
swim,
meets
and
for
the
lane,
rentals
and
use
of
a
pool
at
the
city's
pools
and
at
this
pool
we're
having
to
rent.
B
So
we're
trying
to
keep
that
as
cost
neutral
as
we
can
and
I
feel
like
our
friends
over
at
St.
Andrews
have
been
very,
very
fair
with
us,
and,
and
so
we
do
a
lot
of
things
together
where,
if
they
don't
have
something,
we
try
to
share
what
we
have
with
them.
So
it's
been
a
it's
been
an
economical
situation,
I've
just
not
had
it
even
budgeted
for
so
at
this
point,
we're
just
asking
that
that
little
bit
of
money
that
we're
paying
out
be
put
into
the
budget.
B
B
And
I
wouldn't
go
swim
in
it
either.
So
we
need
to
do
that
and
it's
so.
It's
worked
out
really
well
for
both
parties,
because
most
of
their
their
members
tend
to
swim
in
the
mornings
and
during
the
day,
so
that
late
afternoon
hour
has
been
a
time
that
they've
been
able
to
set
aside
four
lanes
for
the
city.
H
Lori,
thank
you
for
all
you're
doing
I
appreciate
everything
that
you're
doing
I.
We
had
one
of
your
very
dedicated
volunteers
show
up
at
city
council
last
night.
He
was
asking
me
a
couple
of
questions,
but
he
had
said
that
the
downtown
groups
are
having
to
travel
more
to
outside
areas.
H
Is
that
a
big
expense
for
us?
Are
we
paying
for
them
to
travel
to
Mount,
Pleasant
and
other
areas?
I.
B
I'm
not
sure
which
volunteer
what
sport
that
was,
but
we
what
we've
done
is
the
only
sport
that
we've
got
a
few
less
kids
participating
in,
and
this
has
been
a
trend
for
the
last
couple
years
has
been
tackle
football,
but
we
are
staying
just
within
the
city
to
play
tackle
football,
so
we
will
either
be
playing
all
of
our
football
games
either
at
Stonyfield
and
then
the
Saturdays
that
the
Citadel
is
using
Stonyfield
will
be
probably
either
at
Ravenel
or
at
at
the
new
Camp
Road
field,
over
behind
the
old,
the
Camp
Road
Middle
on
James
Island.
B
So
all
of
our
football
games
will
be
in
those
areas.
Daniel
Island
is
staying
on
its
own
for
flag
football
and
soccer
so
that
those
parents
don't
have
to
travel.
Gatzenberg
gives
us
all
the
soccer
fields.
We
need
downtown
for
soccer,
James,
Island,
baseball
and
West.
Ashley
baseball
are
the
same
and
we
have
enough
fields
at
Bayview
and
at
West
Ashley
Park.
So
our
moving
around
is
really
minimal
and
we've
been
able
to
do
that.
We
have.
H
Okay,
well,
I
can
talk
to
you
a
little
more
in
detail
about
what's
right
later
on
yeah.
He
also
asked
about
you
know
about
cameras
and
around
the
wreck
areas,
and
that
may
be
a
parts
item
on
that.
I
guess
well,.
B
I
will
I
will
say
and
I
shared
this
with
with
the
mayor
when
I
met
with
him
earlier
to
discuss.
My
budget
I
did
ask
for
some
money
so
within
the
parks
department,
budget,
for
maintenance
and
for
capital
projects,
they
have
a
number
of
customers
and
one
of
them
is
Recreation,
since
some
of
the
facilities
they
handle
are
Parks
and
Recreation.
I
did
ask
for
some
some
additional
dollars
for
updated
security
cameras
so
that
we
could
better
monitor
some
of
our
facilities.
B
B
Some
of
our
older
facilities
don't
have
it
at
all,
and
so
we're
not
always
able
to
do
that,
but
but
in
the
the
instance
of
that
shooting
of
the
young
young
man
several
weeks
ago,
at
Martin
Park
on
a
Saturday,
the
police
were
able
to
get
to
use
all
of
the
footage
we
had
from
our
show
and
Pull,
and
so
that
that
helped
them.
B
But
we
share
all
that,
but
some
our
bigger
tennis,
centers
James
on
Rec
Center,
none
of
those
have
security
cameras
and
it
certainly
would
be
beneficial
for
our
staff
to
have
some
of
safety
security
measures
like
that.
We
don't
have
any
kind
of
security
guards
at
any
of
your
any
of
your
Parks
or
any
of
our
facilities.
H
A
Know
a
prior
to
you
prior
to
Hugo
wow
prior
to
covet.
You
know
that
big
seated
tree
over
there
W.L
Stevens
close
to
the
road
that
the
people
used
to
like
to
have
decorate
as
a
Christmas
tree.
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
people
missed
that
thing.
What
do
we
need
to
put
in
this
budget
to
be
able
to
do
that?.
B
I
think
I
think
I'd.
Let
Mr
cronsberg
answer
that,
because
it's
a
question
of
of
can
that
tree
still
be
decorated.
That
way
and
do
we
have
the
ability
for
them
to
put
the
lights
up
and
and
take
them
up
because
it
it's
it's
all
a
matter
of
putting
lights
up
and
then
just
turning
on
the
timer.
So
if
there's
a
way
to
do
that,
Mr
konsberg
and
his
in
his
electrical
folks
could
certainly
answer
that.
Okay,.
H
Hey
Laurie,
you
mentioned
a
couple
of
times
that
fees
were
increasing
better
than
last
year
and
more
activity.
H
Do
you
have
like
a
estimated
annual
amount
that
you're
thinking
will
receive
it
kind
of
helps
justify
things?
If
you
will,
when
we
know
that
extra
income
is
coming
in,
just
wondered
if
you
had
a
annual
well.
B
When
we
broke
it
down
there
by
division,
we
were
able
to
kind
of
chart
what
our
tennis
program
has
brought
in
at
Charleston
Tennis
Center.
We
have,
we
have
a
new
new
or
he's
been
here
with
the
city
three
years
now,
but
he's
really
developed
a
really
good
foundation
of
lessons
and
Clinics
and
camps.
So
we
have
a
pretty
good
historical
tracking
of
his
work
and
his
income.
B
So
we
definitely
raised
that
budget
by
at
least
Thirty
or
forty
thousand
dollars
this
year
over
to
next,
because
we
really
feel
like
we'll
bring
that
in
our
are
you
Sports
numbers
are
up
so
that
Revenue,
all
of
the
revenues
are
are
predicted
through
what
we've
taken
in
through
the
month
of
June,
when
we
put
our
budgets
in
and
then
the
historic
tracking,
so
we
definitely
have
I.
B
Think
the
last
time
when
I
met
with
my
budget
analyst,
we
were
about
350
000
over
Revenue,
which
is
great
I,
have
some
over
expenditures
as
well,
but
but
it'll
certainly
help
keep
us
in
a
at
least
a
you
know,
a
cost-effective
position,
but
we
continue
to
sell
sponsorships
for
teams.
B
I'm
hoping
the
new
business
Enterprise
Manager
will
bring
in
some
new
folks
that
want
to
partner
with
our
department
and
with
our
city
and
we're
we're
an
exciting
place
to
be
right.
Now
my
phone's
ringing
off
the
hook
about
Stoney
field
and
the
track,
and
what
can
we
do
there
when
Burke's?
Not
there
this
or
your
Rec
Department's,
not
using
it?
B
What
else
can
be
used
for
and
I
just
think,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities
right
now,
while
folks
are
looking
at
us
and
seeing
the
great
works
that
you
all
have
have
put
in
the
community
that
we,
we
really
make
those
places
well
used,
so
I'm
really
excited
about
getting
Justin
working
with
us
and
and
what
he
can
help
produce
in
the
next
six
months
or
so,
because
Thomas
or
one
of
our
Consultants
Tom
O'rourke
had
always
felt
like
the
number
he
could
bring
in
was
maybe
an
additional
200
thousand
dollars.
I
E
B
A
Yeah,
thank
you
I'm
glad
you
mentioned
Stoney
field,
some
of
us
and
I,
don't
know
if
you
ever
saw
that
drawing,
but
some
of
us
saw
this
is
going
back
years
ago.
Some
were
not
on
council
at
the
time
it
was
a
drawing
and
a
movement.
Small
movement
in
the
community
tear
Downs
doing
it,
for
you
turn
it
into
Green
Space
and
follow
it
would
be
a
dog
park,
so
I'm
so
happy
to
hear
about
how
Tony
Phil
is
being
looked
at
in
a
wanting
way
man.
So
this
it's
wonderful
glad
to
hear.
B
Well,
I
appreciate
that
councilman
we'll
pass
that
along
to
the
folks
that
helped
do
it.
It's
it's
really
great,
to
see
it
Pour
down
rain
and
30
minutes
later
Burke's
over
there,
with
all
35
of
their
players
practicing
and
before.
If
we'd
have
been
doing
that
they
would
have
not
been
out
there.
We'd
have
been
protecting
the
field
for
their
game
coming
up.
So
it's
just
it's
really
cool
to
see
those
high
school
students
having
that
that
facility
to
play
in
just.
A
Just
do
you
think
Wildlife
Expo
will
have
a
used
foot
when
in
February,
when
they,
you
know
how
they
dominate,
how
to
use
Broadband
Park.
Will
that
be
maybe
an
extension
to
somebody.
B
It
certainly
could
be
I
mean
they.
Everyone
had
the
the
wisdom
and
fourth
foresight
to
say:
how
could
we
use
this
place
as
a
as
a
you
know,
maybe
a
place
for
some
concerts
or
special
events.
B
If
it
doesn't,
you
know,
bump
into
wreck
use
or
virtues,
but
I
can
certainly
see
that
it
would
be
it's
it's
certainly
a
good
service
after
it
rains
or
anything
like
that,
you
can
you're,
certainly
out
there
and
the
Cooper
Bridge
Run
is
going
to
do
the
first,
the
first
special
event,
the
Sunday,
the
first
Sunday
in
October
they're,
going
to
do
the
kids
run.
We
haven't
had
a
kids
run
in
a
couple
years
because
of
cobed,
and
they
didn't
want
to
do
it
in
the
spring.
B
E
B
You
want
me
to
do
that
one
please,
so.
The
golf
course
has
asked
for
additional
dollars
and
I
had
invited
Marshall
to
join
in
on
this
meeting,
I'm,
not
sure,
if
he's
in
here
or
not
but
they're
looking
for
new
money.
This
does
not
include
money
for
restrooms
or
anything
like
that.
This
is
all
for
for
adding
some
positions
so
that
they
have
more
folks
that
can
work
the
front
desk.
That
can
help
do
other
work,
especially
during
the
busiest
times
of
the
year.
B
They
use
occasional
and
temporary
staff
as
needed.
They
also
would
like
over
time
more
overtime,
because
the
way
they
do
their
shifts
during
the
bit
the
growing
season
they've
got
to
bring
in
folks
really
early
in
the
morning
and
get
them
off
the
course
before
play
gets
catches
up
to
it.
So,
there's,
six
and
seven
day
a
week,
mowings
and
and
Green's
keeping
work
that
has
to
go
on
they've
got
some
some
equipment
leases
that
they
want
to
bring
in
and
use.
B
When
you
get
a
great
course,
you've
got
to
take
care
of
a
great
course,
and,
and
so
it
they
are
asking
for
some
additional
dollars
for
equipment
and
for
supplies
they
want
to
bring
in
someone
they
want
to
bring
in
you
know,
Amy.
Will
you
go
back
one
I'm?
Sorry,
they
had
a
request
in
there
for
to
do
some
Tree
Management
we've
got
a
lot
of
trees
in
there.
B
We
need
to
be
checking
those
regularly
for
hanging
limbs
in
any
dead
areas
like
that
also
they
they
want
to
put
in
some
netting
along
Mabank
Highway.
We
get
a
number
of
broken
windshields
and
car
windows
every
year
that
come
in
that
that
are
claims
from
the
golf
course
and
it's
very
difficult
to
figure
out
which
foursome
or
which
group
hit
that
car.
B
So
the
city
pays
for
those
those
claims
and
so
we're
looking
to
put
some
netting
in
both
some
restoration
of
old
netting
and
then
some
new
areas
to
do
that
protection.
Thank
you.

that
that
needs
to
be
more
we've,
we've
always
kind
of
gotten
by
with
the
maintenance
dollars
and
and
cents
that
we
had,
but
the
more
that
you
can
verify
and
and
top
dress
and
use
chemicals
and
fertilizers.
B
The
better
your
ground
is
going
to
be,
and
the
more
wear
and
tear
and
holding
they're
going
to
play
all
of
the
right
now
Boykin
Powers
our
head
golf
pro
is
running
programs
for
kids
and
adults.
B
Every
space
you
can
find
on
the
course
in
the
teaching
areas,
so
we're
trying
to
get
make
sure
that
Boykin
and
his
program
have
enough
supplies
for,
for
all
those
classes,
and
those
kids
continue
to
see
rising
in
in
prices
with
having
to
do
with
gas
and
oil
and
all
of
our
cleaning
and
janitorial
supplies.
The
cost
of
of
food
goods
for
our
our
Grill
and
snack
bar
continue
to
go
up.
B
So
there's
a
number
of
needs
that
that
the
munis
needed
and
asked
for
in
years
past
and
hasn't
quite
quite
gotten
funded
to
the
fullest,
but
they
have
asked
for
additional
dollars
this
year
to
help
keep
the
course
in
the
great
shape
it's
in
and
make
sure
we
continue
to
have
65
000
rounds
each
year
played
and
continue
to
make
it
as
affordable
as
possible
for
everyone.
So
I
think
that
should
should
hit
most
of
that
Amy.
D
C
Yeah
I,
just
I,
just
want
to
make
a
comment
that
it's
not
my
Aaron
golf
balls
that
I'm
going
over
the
highway
Lori.
So
don't
believe
me
for
my
my
golf
shots
cracking
windows,
but
whatever
we
need
to
do
because
the
the
golf
course
is
turning
a
nice
little
profit
by
the
way.
C
B
It
was,
it
was
in
the
neighborhood
of
three
to
four
hundred
thousand.
Wasn't
it
in
the
positive
and
I
mean
we've
had
some
expenditures,
but
we
can
we
continue
to.
We
continue
to
see
our
revenues
go
up
there
as
well,
so
yeah.
C
Peter,
it's
those
houses,
it's
those
houses
on
Golf,
View
that
are
concerned
about
California.
That
may
be
true.
Rick
I'm,
not
sure
the
Golf
View
people
are
the
the
one
on
me
being
Harbor.
But
my
point
is
what
the
Laurie's
presentation
we've
spent
so
much
time
and
energy
redoing.
This
golf
course
we've
got
to
maintain
it
to
the
level.
C
It
is
getting
a
lot
of
a
positive
attention
and
it's
a
major
asset
for
the
city
now
so
I
would
certainly
urge
my
other
committee
members
to
support
her
with
every
increase
that
they
need
on
on
the
golf
course.
H
Yeah,
you
know
I
I
heard
this
morning
that
through
August
they
were
well.
Of
course
everybody
knows
that
2021
was
a
record-breaking
year
for
the
golf
course,
but
they're
up
a
thousand
rounds
over
where
they
were
last
year
is
is
what
I
heard
this
morning.
So
they're
they're
doing
some
incredible
work
and.
B
That's
that's
a
hundred
percent
tied
to
the
drainage
issues
that
have
been
that
have
been
fixed
over
there,
because
poor
Marshall
and
his
crew
had
so
many
days
before
where
they
would
not
even
be
able
to
open
the
back
nine
or
we
couldn't
open
the
range,
and
so
with
that
being
able
to
control
that
water
and
getting
that
course
back
up
real
quick
after
heavy
rains.
It's
really
kept
the
amount
of
play
on
the
course
very
heavy,
but
you
wouldn't
know
it
from
going
out
on
it.
B
The
the
greens
and
the
tee
boxes
are
in
great
shape.
The.
C
Other
the
other
thing
the
design
has
helped
some
of
the
neighborhoods
in
terms
of
drainage
as
well
creating
those
retention
plans.
So
it's
not
only
is
a
great
golf
course,
but
it's
done
some
things
for
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
as
well.
You
know
Kevin,
it's
the
old
story,
build
it
and
they
will
come
there.
D
So
nice
of
you
to
ring
you
know
sometimes
I'll,
just
let
others
keep
the
Praises
I.
Don't
have
to
do
it
all
the
time
myself,
but
I
just
wish
I
knew
how
to
play
golf
I'm
more
of
a
water
person,
but
you
know
I
applaud,
Troy,
Miller
and
everybody
else
involved
in
that
effort.
I
think
it's
a
perfect
example
of
you
know
this
sort
of
public-private
Partnerships
that
are
going
to
take
us
to
the
next
level
in
the
City
of
Charleston,
very
excited
to
hear
more
I.
D
Think
all
of
them
brought
on
that
Enterprise
Manager.
Is
that
right,
because
we
have
so
many
wonderful
assets
and
so
many
opportunities
to
tap
into
so
much
of
the
wealth
and
the
value
that's
created
in
our
city,
all
the
time
right,
sort
of
some
of
our
resources
and
getting
cut
in
a
little
bit
on
the
action
and
I'm
just
really
excited
to
see
what
that
position
will
bring.
But
let's.
G
I
have
another
very
long
list
for
you,
so
I
will
try
to
get
through
this
efficiently.
I
have
West,
chapel
and
Edmond
most
online
with
me,
as
well,
just
in
case
I
need
any
backup.
I
want
to
thank
bfrc
for
taking
all
of
our
requests,
putting
them
together,
working
with
us
to
kind
of
streamline
the
process.
So
with
that
being
said,
I
just
want
to
share
my
screen
for
a
minute
which
will
be
the
my
bud,
the
parks
department
budget
request.
G
Can
everybody
see
that
which,
let's
see,
make
sure
I'm
sharing
the
right
screen?
Sorry
screen?
One
share
all
right
is
that
on
yes,
okay,
so
our
number
one
priority
is
pay
increase
for
all
our
employees
across
the
board.
G
G
You
know
we're
right
now
we're
30
percent
down
and
budgeted
staff
members
that
runs
across
the
board
from
project
management
through
facilities,
maintenance
and
grounds
maintenance,
and
it
you
know
it's
tough
when
we're
building
new
stuff
every
year
to
take
care
of
it
all
to
this
level
that
everybody
expects
it
to
be
taken
care
of
and
I'm
going
to
get
into
the
list
of
parks
and
Facilities
that
we've
added
over
the
last
five
years
in
a
minute.
Our
second
priority
was
overtime.
G
Prior
to
the
the
covid
budget
crunch,
we
had
a
large
overtime
budget
that
we
utilized
to
get
the
work
done,
whether
it
was
a
rainy
week
or
the
lack
of
employees
right
now
are
are
overtime
is
consumed
by
both
the
downtown
and
West
Ashley
Farmers
Market,
so
that
pretty
much
eats
up
our
budget
for
overtime.
G
With
our
low
Staffing
rates,
we
haven't
planted
a
lot
of
trees,
Street
trees
in
the
past
couple
years,
because,
quite
frankly,
we
water
trees
on
the
weekends
we
got
to
water
trees
if
we
plant
trees,
all
the
the
various
special
events,
spilato
holiday,
trash
patrols.
After
hours,
urban
forestry
emergency
Street
tree
watering
athletic
field
work.
When
we
get
all
of
these
rains,
we
can't
do
the
work
in
the
week
and
to
make
up
for
our
low
and
Staffing
levels.
G
We
do
have
employees
that
want
to
work
overtime
and
we
get
a
lot
of
work
done
on
the
weekends,
so
the
the
increase
gets
us
closer
to
really
what
we
need
it
to
be
in
the
past.
I
will
admit
before
my
time
there
was
probably
a
little
inefficiency
with
the
overtime
that
was
spent.
G
So
this
has
been
really
a
a
good
reset,
but
it
does
limit
the
kind
of
work
that
we
can
get
done
after
hours
to
supplement
through
all
the
extra
work
we're
doing
in
the
week
due
to
our
staffing
levels
and
extra
duties
that
were
required
requested
to
do
so.
It
kind
of
skipped
over
one
two
to
three.
We
lost
three,
but
our
fourth
priority
was
some
some
new
equipment.
We
need
a
small
mini,
excavator
that'll,
make
us
more
efficient.
G
We
don't
have
one
we've
typically
been
borrowing
them
or
rent
them,
and
this
would
just
make
us
a
lot
more
efficient
in
doing
Park
Improvement
projects
throughout
the
city.
Now,
if
you'll,
let
me
pause
here
for
a
minute.
I
want
to
take
this
off
the
screen
and
I
just
want
to
read
to
you
all
what
we've
added
in
the
past
five
years
and
I
hope
you'll
bear
with
me,
and
let
me
read
through
this
list.
G
These
are
not
only
Parks
but
they're
also
facilities.
Each
one
of
them
requires
maintenance,
as
you
all
know,
so,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
do
this.
This
is
over
the
past
five
years
and
it'll
also
include
some
work
that
we've
gotten
accomplished.
We've
taken
on
the
the
134
Cannon
Street,
which
is
the
Charleston
Arts
Center.
We
have
the
darif
praise
house
and
park
that
was
renovated
and
added
into
our
portfolio,
MLK
pool
enclosure,
locker
room
upgrades
and
complete
mechanical
system
upgrades.
G
All
of
that
stuff
requires
daily
daily
and
weekly
maintenance,
we're
getting
ready
to
take
on
the
IAM
grounds
and
Fountain.
It
is
a
huge
class,
a
detailed
park
space
with
a
fountain
like
you've,
never
seen
before.
We
have
the
Danny
Allen
Rec
Center
police
department,
forensic
Center,
Waring,
Senior,
Center,
Municipal,
Golf
Course,
enhancements
car,
Richardson,
Park
and
event
building,
which
will
be
coming
open
soon.
G
The
tech
center
garage,
the
West
Edge
parking
garage,
The,
Visitor,
Center
renovation,
the
alma
Dungey
Community
Center
renovation,
Dimitri
Park,
full
renovation,
resultant
that
was
damaged
from
three
hurricanes,
Susie
Jackson
Freedom,
Memorial
Garden
and
Fountain
Corrine
Jones,
community
garden.
All
of
the
FEMA
parcel
maintenance
projects,
numerous
playground,
equipment,
Renovations,
Mulberry,
Park,
partial
renovation.
We
we've
got
another
a
phase
or
two
to
get
done.
We
just
haven't
been
able
to
pull
the
trigger
on
that.
G
Yet
a
new
park
over
on
Smith
Street
Shiloh
park
with
the
fountain,
the
the
trolley
Barn
parking
lot,
was
added
to
our
portfolio,
Stony
field
renovation
and
all
of
the
new
requirements
that
it's
going
to
take
to
take
care
of
a
Synthetic
Turf
and
a
synthetic
track.
I
will
have
to
say
that
Laurie's
saying
that
special
events
can
happen.
There
is
not
going
to
be
an
easy
thing.
We
really
need
to
protect
that
investment.
G
Any
use
outside
of
traditional
Recreation
programs
on
Stony
field
is
going
to
require
a
very
robust
protection
program
that
is
going
to
cost
somebody
a
lot
of
money
to
make
that
happen,
because
we
can't
just
go
drive
vehicles
on
it.
We
can't
stink
tents
on
it,
but
it's
it's
a
it's
a
wonderful
resource
that
we
need
to
protect.
G
Park,
Shore,
Hardscape
and
Landscape
enhancements.
There's
additional
maintenance
on
the
that
kind
of
stuff
completed.
West
Ashley,
Bikeway,
resurfacing
phase,
one
Tennessee
basketball
resurfacing.
All
the
time.
We've
we've
renovated
almost
nine
and
a
half
acres
of
painting
projects
in
the
past
five
years
out
of
83
hard
courts
that
we
serve
St,
Julian,
Divine
facilities
and
park
enhancements.
We
just
renovated
that
entire
facility.
G
When
you
do
those
things
you
got
to
keep
up
with
it
right,
Smoke
Stack
stabilization,
with
more
work
to
come,
City,
Gallery,
building,
envelope,
repairs,
we've
got
a
new
park
on
Daniel
Island,
Fallen,
Tree
Park,
we've
installed
an
irrigation
system
out
at
Stanley.
Chisholm
got
a
Portland

Getting
ready
to
do
the
next

soon
completely

Moultrie,
Park
and
playground
additional
maintenance
requirements
for
the
battery
project,
just
daily
leaf
collection,
litter,
Patrol
and
flower
plantings.
G
We've
got
Clements
Fair,
Road
Landscape
enhancements.
That's
a
lot
of
work
to
keep
an
eye
up
on
those
medians
on
Clements
Ferry
Road
and
make
sure
that
they
look
just
as
good
as
any
place
else.
In
the
city
we
have
new
field
lights
at
Governors,
Park,
Riley
field,
Bayview
and
Stoney
with
new
lights,
comes
additional
use
and
requires
additional
maintenance
to
keep
our
grass
green.
G
In
2018
we
hired
someone
just
to
do
focus
on
Public
Safety
facilities.
We've
renovated
fire
station
six
fire
station
7
is
out
for
bid.
We've
renovated
fire
station
12
we're
renovated.
We
have

a

new

complete
that

G
We've
done
working
over
probably
12
or
13
Park
houses
across
the
city,
the
city.
So
that's
a
partial
list
of
five
years
of
work
that
doesn't
include
the
five
years
prior,
so
now
I'm
going
to
get
back
to
my
list.
Unless
anybody
has
a
comment
or
a
question,
let
me
share
this
screen.
G
Susan
judge
her
Dina
did
accuse
me
of
practicing
law
without
a
license
one
time
so
that
so
I
just
wanted.
That
jumps
me
back
right
into
our
budget
request.
Requests
are
a
request
to
get
us
back
to
that.
Pre-Pandemic
2019
budget
levels,
like
Lori,
has
in
a
lot
of
her
requests
inflation
all
of
the
above
all
of
the
materials
that
we
use
on
a
daily
basis.
We've
asked
for
an
increase
in
each
line
item
you
can
see
here.
G
All
of
these
are
are
so
sorry
supplies
and
you
go
through
the
list.
Agricultural
Supplies,
that's
the
fertilizer
to
keep
our
grass
growing
and
robust
with
all
of
the
extra
use
we
got
to
have
more
fertilizer
and
guess
what,
with
the
issue
over
in
Ukraine
and
Russia
right
now,
all
of
the
raw
material
for
fertilizer
comes
from
Ukraine
fertilizer
I'm,
hearing
three
400
increase
in
cost,
so
it's
not
cheap
just
to
buy
the
fertilizer
painting,
materials,
construction,
materials,
general
maintenance,
numbers
plumbing
and
electrical
supplies.
Painting
and
marking
supplies.
G
That's
for
our
athletic
fields,
equipment,
repairs!
You
know
back
to
the
the
oils
and
mower
parts,
blower
parts,
you
name
it.
Everything
is
costing
more
money
now:
Fountain
maintenance
parks
and
supplies
and
pumps
same
thing:
it
all
costs
more
money,
now
janitorial
supplies,
dock
maintenance,
painting
and
marking
small
hand,
tools,
janitorial
supplies,
gas,
oil
lubricants
and
again
back
another
one
overtime.
G
G
Along
with
that,
what
I
didn't
cover
up
here
we
have
14
new
staff
positions,
we're
requesting
we're
still
30
percent
down.
We,
we
were
very
conservative
over
the
past
two
or
three
years
and
asking
for
anything
knowing
that
our
our
with
our
coveted
budget
was
well
knowing
that
we
still
have
the
open
positions.
We
still
have
to
ask
for
these
positions.
G
You
know
we
we're
asking
for
for
trash
Crews,
which
was
a
recommendation
out
of
the
Novak
plan
a
while
ago,
is
to
designate
a
trash
crew
for
the
peninsula
and
designate
a
trash
crew
for
off
Peninsula,
and
they
will
focus
on
trash
in
our
Parks.
So
our
grounds
Crews
can
focus
on
cutting
the
grass
pruning
the
Shrubbery
and
and
taking
care
of
the
small
things
that
happen
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
G
New
qat
is
just
to
kind
of
qat.
Is
a
quality
assurance
Tech
they're
a
little
bit
higher
paid
maintenance
person
that
has
a
little
bit
better
eye
for
detail
and
can
identify
problems
and
get
the
work
done.
Juvenile
pruning
crew.
You've
all
heard
me
talk
about
urban
forestry.
We
have
one
urban
forestry
crew
right
now
for
the
entire
city,
we
probably
have
over
80
000
trees
in
the
city,
we're
planting
trees
every
day
and
all
of
the
new
subdivisions
that
are
being
constructed
all
of
those
young
trees.
G
We
can
alleviate
or
eliminate
future
maintenance
if
we
have
a
a
juvenile
tree
pruning
crew.
That
goes
around
knows
what
they're
doing
and
can
correct
issues
before
they
happen.
So
you
look
at
Crossing,
Limbs
and
bad
crotches
and
trunk
structures.
You
can
fix
a
lot
of
that
when
that
tree
is
very
young
and
eliminate
the
future
maintenance
requirements,
20
30
years
down
the
road
we
should
be
doing
it.
It's
a
request
that
we
have
again
with
all
of
these
requests.
It's
real
really
hard
to
prioritize,
so
how
we've
done
it
is,
of
course,
pay.
G
We
went
through
our
staffing
requests,
our
supplies,
requests
and
again
I'll
keep
going.
Unless
anybody
has
any
questions,
you
know
resurrecting
again
our
funding
for
tree
pruning.
We
have
a
Waterfront
Park
white
Point,
Garden,
Hampton
Park.
These
are
the
kind
of
are
iconic
parks
that
we
haven't
pruned
trees
in
over
three
years.
They
need
a
good
pruning
cycle
which
will
make
them
more
resilient
to
storm
winds
and
are
just
invigorate
their
ability
to
grow.
G
So
I
know
that
on
my
next
line
item
here
is:
that's
playground,
maintenance.
You
know
the
playground
maintenance
line
item
for
the
a
couple
years
that,
prior
to
covid,
we
we
were
able
to
replace
one
or
two
full
playground
equipments
around
the
city,
because
these
some
of
these
were
20.
30
years
old,
we'd
like
to
get
that
funding
back
up
to
the
250
that
we
had
prior
to
covid,
it
really
helps
these
small
neighborhood
parks
and
it
really
affects
the
people
that
live
there.
G
When
you
put
a
shiny
new
playground
in
there
and
and
people
really
feel
good
about
it.
The
next
thing
in
the
in
the
list
up
there
on
page
two.
Fourth,
one
down
the
Charleston
Parks
Conservancy,
we
have
a
request
to
increase
their
annual
compensation.
The
250
000,
the
Charleston
Parks
Conservancy,
does
a
wonderful
volume
of
work
throughout
the
parks
they
program,
they've
engaged
they
activate,
they
have
Community
Gardens,
they
provide
a
wonderful
service
to
the
citizens
and
they
and
they
help
us
and
and
taking
care
of
these
elevated
Park
Styles.
G
We
have
another
request
of
forty
thousand
dollars
annually
that
we
worked
with
the
mayor
about
both
of
these.
With
the
mayor
of
the
Charleston
Parks
Conservancy
came
in
and
talked
to
the
mayor
about
their
request
for
funding
the
Clemson
program.
That's
done
work
over
on
the
Bikeway
Corrine
Jones
community
garden,
Ardmore
Park,
Medway,
Park
where's,
our
third
community
garden,
WL.
A
G
G
So
we
don't
have
to
continually
to
come
back
and
and
ask
for
these
good
cost
saving
projects.
We've
got
repairs
that
we
need
to
do
to
the
vendu
fountain
down
at
Waterfront
Park,
the
Pineapple
Fountain.
The
infrastructure
in
those
systems
are
so
old
that
the
pipes
that
connect
the
pumps
to
the
vaults
to
the
actual
Fountain-
that's
self
they're
failing
so
we
have
to
re-sleeve
them.
We
have
to
get
specialty
contractors
in
there
to
do
that.
G
Work
continuing
on
Down,
the
Line,
Market
Hall
window,
glazing
and
paint
Dock,
Street,
Theater,
window
glazing
and
paint
again
back
to
some
of
those
fire
station
renovation
projects.
We
got
a
request
to
do
some
painting
over
at
Greenberg
municipal
center.
Our
brittlebank
Park,
pier,
is
the
roof
on
that.
Pier
structure
needs
to
be
replaced,
gastonbury
Park
swing
structures.
G
You
may
have
heard
through
constituent
letters
and
communication
that
we've
taken
the
swings
down
out
there
at
that
park,
because
each
one
of
them
are
they're
rotten
and
they're
unsafe,
and
it's
a
big
ticket
item
to
get
to
get
replaced.
It's
about
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars.
We
estimate,
because
it's
not
something
that
we
can
do
in-house
they're
very
detailed
designed
and
we
have
to
get
a
contractor
there
to
do
that
work.
G
We
got
requests
from
the
police
department
to
do
some
headquarter,
Renovations
you're,
looking
at
painting,
carpeting
desks,
lobbies,
all
of
that
stuff
we've
been
doing,
and
a
lot
of
the
fire
stations
is
just
quality
of
life,
things
for
the
for
the
our
employees
that
that
are
use
those
facilities,
the
Brigade,
Street
warehouses.
We
got
a
lot
of
requests
to
do
work
in
there
from
the
police
department
coming
back
around
to
Urban
Forest
being
in
our
street
tree.
We
don't
have
a
comprehensive
Street
tree
inventory.
G
We
need
that
from
liability
points
of
view,
and
it
helps
us
with
our
man
the
management
of
our
Urban
Forest,
which
you
know
when
you
come
to
our
new
neighborhoods,
with
all
the
trees
and
our
more
senior
neighborhoods.
If
you
will
the
trees
really
make
these
places
a
lot
of
times,
imagine
the
places
without
trees.
We
just
need
the
ability
to
know
what
we
have
where
we
have
them,
and
then
also
that
plan
would
tell
us
what
we
really
need
to
manage
and
maintain
that
Urban
Forest
right
now
we
have
one
crew.
G
We
have
three
open
crew
leaders,
a
bunch
of
other
openings
back
to
contract
pruning,
so
we
haven't
pruned
trees,
kind
of
palm
trees,
Downtown
West,
Ashley
or
Daniel
Island
for
the
past
three
years,
so
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
get
the
arpa
funding,
so
we
are
currently
pruning
trees
on
the
lower
Peninsula,
Upper
Peninsula
and
Daniel
Island,
the
palm
trees.
That
is,
you
know
they
drop
fronds.
They
drop
berries,
they're,
a
nuisance,
they're,
a
safety
issue,
and
you
know
due
to
the
cuts
from
from
covid.
G
All
of
those
Professional
Services
got
whittled
down
to
the
bare
minimum.
So
we
just
we
need
to
re-establish
those
budgets,
safety,
crew,
signage,
we're
always
getting
asked
to
do.
Landscape
renovation
projects.
We've
had
a
wonderful
experience
over
on
the
east
side.
Hampstead
Square
go
down
there
experience
it
experience
that
part.
It
is
incredible.
We
did
all
of
that
internal
design
service
with
Charleston
Park's
conservancy,
and
we
all
built
it
together
with
the
neighborhood.
It
was
an
incredible
project.
It
looks
wonderful.
G
We
would
like
to
do
those
things
elsewhere:
Ferguson
Village
rag,
Square
rag,
Mall,
extension,
Washington
Square.
We
have
lots
of
parks
everywhere
that
were
built
20
or
30
years
ago,
and
that
was
it.
So
we
just
need
a
way
to
keep
constantly
reinvigorating
those
public
spaces
additional
spot
supplies
for
keep
Charleston
beautiful
program.
You
know
we
have
a
wonderful
volunteer
base
that
Jamie
Gillette
gets
out
there
and
they
just
did
a
lot
of
work
on
the
Bikeway
yesterday
and
all
of
that
stuff
costs
money.
G
We
like
to
get
those
folks
out
there
with
safety
equipment
and
the
right
equipment
to
to
clean
up
the
litter.
So
they
do
a
wonderful
job
plant
Replacements
throughout
the
city,
whether
it's
gateways
or
Parks.
We
just
need
a
little
bit
of
money
to
actually
buy
those
plants.
We
need
some
spare
trucks
when
our
trucks
break,
we
don't
have
spare
trucks
and
it
it
really
affects
the
way
we
do
business.
G
We
need
new
chip
truck
and
chipper
for
our
forestry
Crews
and
we
need
a
little
Stone
storage
building
out
at
Stony
field
to
store
the
new
gator
and
broom
equipment
that
we
have
out
there
to
take
care
of
that
part
again
back
to
the
third
page.
These
are
again
at
the
end
of
the
list:
more
overtime
increases
across
facilities
and
grounds
maintenance.
With
our
climate
action
plan,
we
have
an
electric
blower
requirement
that
we
we
get
rid
of
our
gas
powered
blowers
by
the
middle
of
next
year.
G
We
anticipate
that's
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollar
cost.
We
have
to
upgrade
our
electrical
systems
to
to
add
the
the
charging
systems
and
the
multiple
battery
packs
it's
going
to
be
a
different
way
of
doing
business,
but
it
takes
the
infrastructure
to
provide
that
service.
G
I
do
fear
that
right
now
we've
got
a
couple
of
electric
equipment,
but
we
can't
get
the
batteries
so
it'll
if
it's
fun,
it'll
it'll
it'll
be
a
interesting
to
see
if
we
can
actually
get
the
batteries
for
the
equipment
and
then
back
to
the
tennis,
Center's
death,
Charleston
Center
lighting,
Maybank
Tennis,
Center
lighting,
James,
Island,
rec
center
pool
shade
structure.
G
This
isn't
a
full-time
pool
covering
this
was
a
shade
structure
that
was
requested
by
the
council
member
Parker
over
there
and
we've
heard
from
the
public
that
that
the
decking
around
that
pool
is
very
tight
and
it
gets
very
hot.
So
we'd
like
to
move
the
fence
out
a
little
bit
and
create
a
little
shade
garden
for
the
people
that
use
that
pool
and
then
another
request
from
our
Recreation
Department.
G
Another
internal
client
is
the
third
floor.
Flooring
at
St
Julian
Devine,
so
they
can
adapt
that
space
and
to
use
it
for
a
dance
floor.
So
that
was
a
lot
of
words
and
a
lot
of
talk
happy
to
take
any
of
your
questions
and
see
how
I
can
help.
C
Thank
you
go
if
you
can
go
back
to
the
previous
page
Jason,
so
the
the
CPD
Brigade
Warehouse.
What
is
our
lease
on
that?
How
much
time
is
left
on
that
lease.
G
Is
some
that
that
is
a
a
request
from
the
police
department
to
to
do
some
Renovations
in
that
space,
so
that
it's
a
little
bit
more
suitable
for
how
they're,
using
it.
C
I'm
just
wondering
we're
doing
some
conversation
about
that
space
and
I.
Remember
when
we
were
at
the
forensic
facility
building
off
of
bees,
ferrylands
had
talked
about
this
facility
and
I
thought
we
were
looking
for
a
new
home.
That's
that's
exactly
yeah,
that
is
correct,
councilman,
I
think,
or
at
least,
though
I
think
we
have
another
seven
to
eight
years
on
that
lease.
That's.
E
C
Amy,
you
and
you
broke
up
a
little
bit
between
what
you
and
Rick
were
saying.
So
we
have
to
give
how
many
days
months
notice,
foreign.
C
H
C
Yes,
okay
and
Jason.
The
other
question
to
the
next
page
on
those
lightings
I'm,
presuming
that
we're
getting
state-of-the-art
lighting
for
those
tennis
centers.
Yes,.
G
Sir
we've
already
have,
we
already
have
proposals
from
super
green
and
that
they're
all
LED
remote,
controlled
Sports
Court
lighting,
because.
C
G
You
know
they
and
well.
If
you
can
jump
in
there,
they
come
with
a
pretty
robust
warranty
system,
but
the
LED
lights.
You
don't
have
to
replace
them.
They
don't
have
as
much
issues
as
our
as
some
of
the
old
school
lights
that
we
have
out
there.
We
can't
even
get
parts
for
them.
We
we
used
to
try
to
get
parts
for
them
on
eBay.
It
was
kind
of
they
don't
make
them
anymore.
G
You
might
find
a
pile
of
them
somewhere
junk
somewhere,
but
it's
just
it's
kind
of
that's
what
we
have
to
do
kind
of
like
the
golf
course
before
we
renovated
the
golf
course
irrigation
system.
They
were
buying
irrigation,
heads
and
irrigation
parts
off
of
eBay.
So
let
me
kind
of
fixed.
C
That
I
I
know
that
one
of
the
issues
that
some
folks
I
talked
to
about
the
the
tennis
center
is
that
if
they
want
to
have
tournaments
out
there,
that
was
hampering
them.
So
I
guess
this
is
going
to
help
enhance
all
of
that
competition
and
availability.
G
As
well
all
of
the
the
vendors
put
together
proposals
with
all
of
the
candle
values
and
should
satisfy
any
of
the
tournament
and
Recreation
sport
lighting
requirements.
E
G
A
G
Right
now,
Grounds
Maintenance
makes
up
about
20
to
23
of
the
I.
Think
it's
like
47
openings
out
of
150
151,
so
it's
Grounds
Maintenance
facilities,
maintenance,
we've
had
a
plumber
and
an
HVAC
Tech
position
open
for
three
years.
A
And
the
average
period
for
the
the
maintenance
people,
if
you
fall
pocket,
what
is
it
I
mean
we
advertise
it
for
what?
How
many
bites
we
get.
G
I
I
mean
I
I
know
the
HR.
Has
that
information?
It's
you
know
like
for
the
forestry
staff
I
think
they
used
that
it
was
25
or
3.
500
hits
eight
applicants.
C
So
that's
for,
like
the
plumbing
the
HVAC,
the
pump
tax
on
the
facility.
A
G
And
then
real
quick
on
that
cedar
tree
and
if
you
remember
the
tree,
we
used
to
put
in
an
Avondale
the
proximity
to
the
power
power
lines
or
initiative.
Dominion
told
us.
We
couldn't
put
the
tree
back
in
in
Avondale,
but
we'll
we'll
look
again
and
see
if
we
can
get
in
there
to
to
the
cedar
tree.
It
just
costs
money,
it
all
have
to
be
redone.
So.
A
I'm,
just
telling
you
I
mean
I
got
to
be
a
couple
of
thousand
people
that
living
around
those
diesel
Forest
West,
Oak
Forest,
you
know
all
up
for
us
would
be
surprised
if
you
kicked
they
get
at
the
adults.
You
know
it's
been
up
for
years
and
you
know
anyway,
yeah
we'll
talk
about
it.
The.
D
Right,
thank
you,
Mr,
Mayor
and
Jason.
Thank
you
for
that
presentation
and
I
think
it
goes
about
saying
that
we've
got
a
big
sprawling
city
with
a
lot
of
needs
and
we
don't
have
sufficient
resources.
It
appears
to
get
everything
that
we
want
done
to
state.
The
obvious
I
would
just
like
to
point
out
and
I've
had
several
conversations
with
everybody
about
act,
236
that
the
legislature
passed
this
June.
D
Essentially
what
it
does
is
it
broadens
local
governments,
authority
to
impose
fees,
and
specifically,
it
allows
fees
that
do
not
provide
specific
individualized
benefits
to
aores
the
public
and
receive
benefits
more
broadly
in
exchange
with
a
fee.
So
we
could
create
a
city
of
Charleston
beautification
fee
that
folks,
residences
or
businesses
hey
doesn't
have
to
necessarily
be
a
lot.
D
You
know
looking
nice
things
of
that
nature.
We
can,
even
if
you
want
to
get
real
crazy
with
it.
You
can
even
set
up
different
fees
for
different
regions
of
the
city,
like
you
have
a
West
Ashley
unification
fee,
John's,
Island
Etc,
but
these
could
be
kept
in
separate
accounts
and
only
used
in
those
individual
areas.
I
mean
you
know.
D
We
need
to
get
creative
with
the
way
we
can
generate
resources
and
I
think
that
if
folks
understood
that
there
was
a
direct,
tangible
connection
between
what
they
were
paying
and
what
they
were
getting
it
and
they
were
seeing
it
every
day
that
could
be
a
potential
winner.
So
that's
much
broader
discussion
than
we
got
time
for
today.
D
I
just
thought:
I'd
sort
of
make
that
note
here
for
everybody,
as
we
continue
to
try
to
find
ways
to
fund
what
we
need
to
fund
to
do
what
we
want
to
do
for
the
city
thanks.
G
G
I'll
tell
you
that
we
have
a
wonderful
team
over
here.
We
have
a
lot
of
dedicated
long-time
employees
and
so
that
that
our
first
priority
would
go
a
long
way
and
hopefully
it'll
help
us
with
retention
and
recruiting
gotta.
H
Thank
you,
Jason
and
Edmund
Wes
for
all
y'all
dude,
remarkable
inventory
of
assets
and
parks
that
we
have
in
our
citizens,
love
and,
and
we
keep
adding
to
it.
As
you
note
so,
I
know
it's
a
ongoing
huge
job.
Thank
you.
Thanks
for
what
y'all
do.
E
G
Yeah,
if
so
it
kind
of
caught
me
a
little
off
guard
last
night
with
the
question
I,
it
would
be,
it
would
be
if
you
want
me
to
kind
of
go
through
some
of
the
ballpark
stuff.
The
Joe
rally
ballpark
just
it's
not
just
locker
rooms
and
and
and
gender
issues.
There's
there's
lots
of
things
that
Major
League
Baseball
has
required.
I'm
happy
just
to
go
through
that
stuff.
G
With
you,
I
I,
prepared
a
little
bit
of
an
outline
I
can
either
share
my
it's
just
a
real,
quick
email
that
I've
shared
with
Amy
today.
I
think
it
would
help
you
understand
the
scope
of
the
work
I.
E
E
C
G
E
So
really
those
were
the
only
two
requests
it
has.
This
current
MLB
upgrades
that
they're
asking
for
just
that.
We're
still
working
on.
C
You
mayor
so
on
the
golf
course
is:
I,
don't
see
anything
here
about
the
bathrooms
absolutely
so
we.
E
G
Okay,
yeah,
just
to
help
you
understand
we,
we
do
a
lot
of
maintenance,
type
renovation,
work
in
our
maintenance
budgets
and
then
there's
there's
projects
that
we
kind
of
Define
as
capital
projects
that
either
get
through
the
capital
plan
or,
like
Amy,
said
funded
through
Reserve
I.
C
Don't
know
how
that
I
was
going
to
fall
into
motivation
or
a
new
capital
project,
so
I
guess
replacing
a
porta
potty
would
not
be
a
renovation
project.
I.
E
You
know,
and
so
we
discussed
coming
back
in
October
with
Capital
Improvement
plan
again,
so
we
can
do.
We
can
talk
about
that.
Then.
E
E
So
I
think
Jason
went
through
that
fast
and
got
us
back
on
time.
So.
E
Okay,
so
I,
then
we
so
we
have
the
fire
department
next
councilmember
shade.
If
he
thought
you
got
worn
out
before.
C
So
so
that
that
idea
of
freaking
out
of
a
fire
hose
is
now
coming.
E
I'll,
let
let
Chief
karia
talk
to
you
about
that
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen.
I
How
you
doing,
how
was
everybody
today
doing
well
good
I,
told
Amy
that
every
time
I
try
to
share
my
screen,
something
something
happens
and
I'm
sure
it's
it's
user
error.
It's
on
my
part,
but
she's
being
kind
enough
to
share
the
screen
for
us.
Can.
I
You
thank
you
Amy,
as
I
start
today,
I
mean
we
have
30
requests
from
the
fire
department
and
it
was
from
a
list
of
probably
108
requests
that
were
submitted
within
the
department.
But
this
will
be
my
third
or
fourth
budget
presentation
to
the
city
and
something
that
always
strikes
me
is
the
amount
of
high
quality
work
that
bfrc
does
Amy
and
her
team
pretty
phenomenal.
I
I
K
cross
is
a
pretty
important
partner
for
all
of
us,
so
I,
just
in
a
world
where
we
tend
to
point
out
the
negative
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
we
set
a
couple
of
positive
things
to
start
the
conversation
so
in
the
30
requests
that
we
made
the
the
number
one
request
for
the
fire
department
is
to
obtain
the
Staffing
to
put
a
new
ladder
company
in
service
on
John's
Island.
So
that's
the
very
first
request.
I
It's
15
positions,
it's
a
little
over
one
million
dollars,
would
remind
everybody
that
we
did
submit
a
Grant
application
with
the
federal
government.
It's
called
a
safer
Grant,
and
if
we
get
that
Grant,
the
federal
government
will
pick
up
100
of
the
cost
of
these
firefighters
for
three
years
and
then
there
has
to
be
a
commitment
from
the
city
to
to
keep
the
Staffing
on
for
another
two
years.
But
obviously,
if
we
put
the
ladder
company
in
service,
the
thought
would
be
that
this
would
be
something
that
would
go
on
for
everyone.
I
The
cost
is
one
million
dollars,
but
what
I
would
also
say
is,
as
we
look
at
the
Staffing
in
the
fire
department
and
we
plan
out
when
the
fire
recruit
academies
will
start
in
fiscal
23..
We
have
one
Academy
that
will
start
in
February
it'll,
be
a
shorter
Academy
that
we
hire
previously
trained
firefighters,
but
then
we'll
have
the
longer
Traditional
Academy
that
will
start
in
July,
so
I
believe.
I
If
we
move
forward
with
the
firefighters
for
this
new
ladder
company,
we
could
go
ahead
and
count
on
a
July
start,
which
would
of
course
cut
the
cost
in
in
half
for
the
year,
at
least
for
salary
and
the
the
importance
of
this
unit
is,
it
would
enhance
fire
protection
on
John's
Island
for
every
fire
that
we
get
dispatched
to.
We,
we
dispatch
at
least
two
ladder
companies
to
handle
different
things
on
the
fire
scene,
So.
I
Currently,
with
our
Auto
Aid
agreement,
One
ladder
company
comes
from
John's
Island
or
St
John's
fire
and
the
second
ladder
company
comes
from
station
10,
which
is
in
the
Avondale
section
of
West
Ashley,
so
placing
a
ladder
company
on
John's
Island
itself
would
greatly
enhance
our
ability
to
protect
all
those
neighborhoods
and,
if
you've
gone
over
to
John's
Island.
Lately
you
see
the
explosive
growth
that
is
occurring
in
those
neighborhoods.
I
Another
reason
that
this
would
be
important
to
us
is
that
the
the
long-range
planning
for
Saint
John's
fire
calls
for
them
to
to
shift
their
fire
protection
more
towards
the
kiawa
area
and,
while
I
don't
have
a
timeline
for
that,
I
do
know
that
those
things
are
on
the
drawing
board
for
that
fire
department.
So
it's
going
to
be
important
for
us
to
go
ahead
and
plan
for
increased
protection
from
the
city
perspective
and
get
it
there
prior
to
the
shift
from
St
John's.
I
The
the
second
request
from
the
fire
department
is
to
add
a
mechanic,
and
our
intent
is
to
address
the
growing
number
of
apparatus
and
smaller
vehicles
that
we
have
in
the
department.
So
currently
we
have
24
engines
and
six
ladders
and
Aerials
and
a
whole
host
of
other
vehicles.
But
if
you,
if
you
look
at
the
the
list,
you'll
see,
we
probably
have
about
a
hundred
passenger
vehicles
that
operate
throughout
the
department
and
so
to
handle
that
load.
I
We
have
three
mechanics
we
can
see
every
month,
we
track
the
number
of
repairs
that
we
do
to
our
apparatus.
We
track
the
number
of
routine
maintenance
items
that
we
address
in
the
shop
and
what
we
have
found
is
if
we
could
add
one
more
mechanic
and
give
that
mechanic
the
capability
to
be
mobile,
then
we
could
handle
the
smaller
repairs
in
the
city
without
bringing
those
fire
apparatus
to
Milford
Street,
which
then
it
cuts
down
on
the
mileage
in
the
wear
and
tear
on
the
apparatus,
but,
more
importantly,
for
the
fire
department.
I
The
third
thing
on
our
list
is
related
to
diversity,
Equity,
inclusion
and
belonging.
So
obviously
there
was
a
long
presentation
at
the
Public
Safety
Committee
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
it
related
to
Staffing
and
retention.
But
all
the
conversations
that
we've
been
having
at
Public
Safety
or
with
Council
over
the
last
18
months
to
24
months
has
had
some
type
of
diversity,
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
component.
I
So
the
fire
department
has
tried
a
whole
host
of
different
strategies
to
increase
the
diversity
of
the
department
and
just
as
a
reminder,
the
department
is
92
percent
of
white
male
and
obviously
I
want
the
fire
department
to
reflect
the
community
we
serve.
If
we
can
do
that,
we're
going
to
provide
better
protection
to
that
Community
because
we're
going
to
make
deeper
connections
with
them
as
we're
providing
service.
I
So
far,
the
different
strategies
that
we
have
tried
have
have
not
increased
the
diversity
of
the
department.
So
we
are
making
a
request
of
seventy
five
thousand
dollars
to
bring
in
a
consultant
to
look
at
what
we're
doing.
Look
at
the
approaches
that
we've
already
taken
and
help
us
devise
approaches
for
the
future
so
that
in
the
next
several
years
we
can
see
that
diversity
in
the
department
increase.
I
Related
to
that,
but
somewhat
different
is
a
request
for
leadership.
Training
in
the
fire
department,
so
I've
been
here
just
a
little
over
four
years
and
in
the
time
that
I've
been
here,
the
we
have
25
Chief
officers
in
the
department
and
67
of
those
Chief
officers
have
been
put
in
place
since
I've
been
here.
So
a
lot
of
the
the
issues
that
we
find
in
the
department
that
don't
have
a
clear-cut
answer
to
them.
I
There's
a
request
to
restore
to
firefighter
positions
and
what
we
did
to
increase
our
recruitment
efforts
and
our
diversity
efforts
was
we
combined
two
vacant
firefighter
positions
and
with
that
combination,
that's
how
we
created
the
recruiter
and
the
the
diversity
position
in
the
department.
So,
as
we
approach
full
Staffing
in
the
fire
department
and
just
as
an
aside,
we
just
put
a
fire
academy
in.
We
have
14
people
in
the
current
fire
academy,
but
with
those
14
people,
our
operational
vacancies
are
at
19.,
so
we
are
constantly
chipping
away
at
that
vacancy
number.
I
We
have
a
Communications
FTE
requested
and
what
we
find
is
in
the
fire
department.
We
have
so
many
portable
radios.
We
have
so
many
mobile
data
computers.
We
have
software
that
is
dedicated
solely
to
the
fire
department
to
track
firefighters
inside
burning
buildings
and
the
lift
to
program
those
radios,
the
lift
to
update
those
mobile
data
computers
and
to
make
sure
that
the
software
is
acting
and
functioning
as
it
should
is
more
than
we
can
handle
without
some
assistance.
I
So
we
have
a
request
in
for
that
when
we
made
the
presentation
at
the
Public
Safety
Committee
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
related
to
Staffing
and
retention,
pay
and
retention,
one
of
the
things
I
was
saying
is
I
only
have
the
capacity
in
the
training
division
to
train
26
to
30
firefighters,
at
one
time,
new
firefighters
and
in
2018,
our
vacancy
rate,
or
our
vacancy
number
got
up
to
79
positions.
So
we've
been
chipping
away
at
that
very
very
steadily,
but
what
it
has
done
to
the
training
division
of
the
fire
department.
I
The
next
request
is
for
a
medical
operations
officer.
We
should
surpass
24
000
calls
this
year
in
the
fire
department
and
of
those
24
000
calls,
probably
13
to
14.
000
of
them
will
be
Medical
in
nature.
The
way
we've
been
approaching,
the
medical
component
of
the
fire
department
is
just
a
piecemeal
things
together
and
try
to
get
training
and
try
to
get
equipment
and
Resources
by
taking
from
different
line
items
or
or
taking
people
out
of
the
Operations
Division
and
assigning
them
to
a
medical
component.
I
So
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
add
a
medical
operations
officer
that
will
coordinate
the
medical
program
for
the
fire
department
will
coordinate
the
recertifications
that
we
need
for
our
firefighters
to
be
emergency.
Medical
technicians
coordinate
The,
Ordering
of
the
specialized
equipment
that
we'll
need
to
keep
delivering
medical.
C
I
We
also
have
a
request
to
replace
carbon
monoxide
alarms
for
the
Fire
Marshals
division.
Obviously,
carbon
monoxide
is
colorless,
odorless
and
tasteless,
so,
as
are
Fire
Marshals
are
going
into
different
businesses.
If
there's
a
gas
leak
in
a
restaurant
say
on
the
peninsula,
we're
not
going
to
know
that
necessarily
without
having
some
type
of
detection
system
in
place.
So
we
already
have
carbon
monoxide
alarms
for
staff.
We
just
need
to
go
ahead
and
replace
those
the
ones
that
we're
currently
using
have
a
three-year
shelf
life.
I
The
next
one
is
related
to
the
special
operations
of
the
fire
department.
I've
said
before
in
the
public
safety
meetings,
we
have
a
whole
host
of
Special
Operations
companies
in
the
fire
department.
We
deliver
hazardous
materials
mitigation
to
the
city.
We
have
Urban
search
and
rescue
collapse.
We
have
a
Marine
Division,
we
have
Swift
water,
we
have
a
whole
host
of
of
teams,
but
in
order
to
staff
those
teams
I
need
to
be
able
to
incentivize
our
firefighters
to
do
something
extra
for
the
department.
I
So
an
approach
that
was
taken
previously-
and
this
was
well
before
my
time
in
the
fire
department-
was
that
Personnel
who
took
on
the
extra
duties
of
Special
Operations
would
get
a
five
percent
incentive
to
take
on
that
Duty
because
it
does
require
extra
training
and
that
extra
training
is
off
duty.
But
it
also
requires
a
huge
time
commitment
over
time
that
five
percent
incentive
was
removed
with
the
thought
process.
I
That
Personnel
could
make
up
the
money
just
through
overtime,
as
they
trained
say
in
hazardous
materials,
and
what
we
found
especially
going
through
the
the
pandemic,
is
that
we
didn't
have
the
money
to
operate
with
that
model.
We
simply
did
not
have
the
overtime
money.
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
return
a
a
static
monetary
incentive
to
those
assigned
to
the
Special
Operations
Division.
So
we
can
go
ahead
and
build
up
that
capacity
back
in
the
fire
department.
I
The
the
next
item
on
the
list
is
related
to.
Let
me
make
sure
I
got
my
list
in
front
of
me.
It's
real.
It's
related
to
accommodations,
so,
obviously,
with
all
the
discussions
that
have
gone
on
with
accommodations
and
late
night,
ordinance
that
type
of
thing
there's
an
increased
requirement
on
the
Fire
Marshals
division
in
the
fire
department
to
make
sure
that
we're
out
and
we're
in
these
businesses
and
we're
inspecting
them
and
our
approach.
I
The
the
next
thing
on
our
list
is
just
really
when
you
think
about
a
firehouse
there.
There
is
a
huge
component
of
the
firehouse
that
it
is
like
a
a
restaurant
or
a
home.
We
obviously
have
a
kitchen
in
each
facility
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
hood
systems
in
those
kitchens
get
inspected
annually,
so
we're
requesting
funding
for
that.
I
When
you
see
Thames,
that
is
basically
it's.
It's
active
shooter!
It's
how
we
partner
with
the
police
department
to
make
sure
that
police
and
fire
are
operating
very
proactively
in
active
shooter
instance.
So
this
request
is
a
one-time
request
of
six
thousand
dollars
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
equipment
and
training
that
we
need
to
continue.
That's
one
of
those
special
teams
that
we've
got
wow
next
is
a
request
again
for
another
incentive
for
those
Personnel
in
the
fire
department
who
are
taking
on
extra
Duty
for
us.
I
I
The
next
thing
on
the
list
and
you'll
see
it's
it's
a
pretty
big
price
tag,
but
this
is
something
that
I've
requested
every
year
since
I've
been
in
Charleston
and
it's
to
establish
a
dedicated,
Community
risk
reduction
group
in
the
fire
marshal
division.
This
would
entail
eight
positions
that
are
dedicated
to
creating
a
safer
Charleston.
So
as
a
bit
of
an
aside
currently
in
the
fire
department,
we
are
having
extensive
conversations
about.
I
I
I
What
we
don't
find
is
that
there's
a
proactive,
sustained
presence
in
the
community.
What
we
want
to
do
is
we
want
to
identify,
prevent
and
solve
problems
for
the
community
before
they've,
even
identified
them
for
themselves.
We
want
to
provide
proactive
training
on
hands-only
CPR,
for
example.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
community
is
trained
on
the
dangers
of
cooking
fires.
We
want
to
make
sure
people
can
use
fire
extinguishers.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
be
back
in
the
schools
teaching
things
like
stop,
drop
and
roll.
I
If
you
think
about,
when
probably
all
of
us
were
in
school,
having
the
fire
department
come
in
was
a
pretty
regular
thing,
but
over
time
things
in
the
fire
service
in
general
have
shifted.
We
don't
have
a
sustained
presence
in
the
schools.
We
have
focused
time
in
the
schools,
typically
during
October,
when
it's
fire
prevention
month,
but
what
we
would
like
to
do
is
we
would
like
to
go
ahead
and
partner
with
the
schools
partner
with
the
community
to
make
sure
that
every
single
day
we
are
out
making
the
community
a
safer
place
to
be.
I
The
the
next
request
is
it's
a
annual
service
for
something
called
a
plum
event
and
in
a
firehouse
there's
a
big
yellow
tube
that
attaches
to
the
fire
truck
to
make
sure
our
firefighters
don't
breathe
in
diesel
exhaust,
so
it
detaches
from
the
apparatus
automatically
when
they
get
a
call.
When
we
back
back
into
the
firehouse
we
attach
that
tube
manually,
we
just
need
money
for
the
annual
inspection
program.
I
The
next
item
is:
it's
called
bailout
train
the
trainer.
I
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
to
do
is
we
have
to
provide
our
firefighters,
a
small
rope,
a
hook
and
a
descending
device,
so
that
if
they
get
caught
in
a
burning
building
and
say
they're
on
the
third
floor
of
the
building,
they
have
the
ability
to
use
this
rope
to
get
out
the
window
and
to
get
to
the
ground
before
you
know,
before
anything
really
bad
happens.
In
order
to
do
that,
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
we
maintain
our
certifications
and
we
can
still
train
and
teach
our
firefighters
that
that
skill
set.
I
Next
down
is
a
request
for
additional
mobile
data
mobile
mobile
data
computers
that
we
use
in
the
fire
apparatus.
This
would
enable
us
to
go
ahead
and
put
this
equipment
in
the
reserve
apparatus
that
we've
got
so
that
when
apparatus
breaks
down,
we
have
equipment
to
train.
We
don't
even
have
to
transfer
the
equipment,
we
have
equipment
ready
in
the
reserve
apparatus,
but
it
becomes
a
specially
important
when
we
have
a
hurricane
or
another
natural
disaster
bearing
down
on
us
and
we
have
to
stand
up
units
in
the
fire
department.
I
The
mobile
data
computers
are
how
we
receive
calls
from
the
dispatch
center.
It's
how
we
receive
our
routing
instructions.
It's
how
we
receive
information
about
the
calls
to
to
say
it's
a
confirmed
fire
or
it's
a
confirmed,
auto
accident
with
somebody
trapped
in
the
vehicle
that
type
of
thing
the
next
request.
I
This
is
when
we
actually
may
be
able
to
accomplish
in
the
current
budget
year,
but
it's
it's
just
adding
money
so
that
our
Honor
Guard
members
can
get
new
uniforms
has
to
happen
every
couple
of
years
and
we
spend
so
much
money
in
firefighting
gear
that
we
often
Overlook
these
smaller
things
that
the
next
one
down
is
a
request
for
funding
for
our
Marine
units.
I
We
have
two
boats,
one
of
those
you
voted
on
funding
last
night
to
repair
the
larger
of
the
two
boats,
but
we
also
have
a
smaller
one
and
we
don't
have
any
money
dedicated
specifically
to
maintaining
our
marine
assets.
That
185
000
you
see
is
for
vehicle
maintenance
in
general
in
the
fire
department,
so
we'd
like
to
have
fifty
thousand
dollars
dedicated
just
to
the
Marine
units,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
all
the
preventative
maintenance
is
done.
I
And
hopefully
we
can
avoid
these
big
ticket
repairs
like
we
experienced,
and
that
came
before
you
last
night
for
funding.
I
The
next
thing
is
an
SCBA
compressor
and
obviously,
when
you
see
firefighters,
we
have
those
air
tanks
on
our
backs.
Those
air
tanks
are
rated
at
45
minutes
of
air,
but
in
order
to
get
45
minutes
of
air,
you
have
to
compress
it
down,
so
the
equipment
that
we
are
going
to
in
October
is
going
to
require
us
to
compress
the
air
at
5500
PSI.
I
I
It
will
lessen
our
downtime
to
fill
those
bottles
up
and
get
us
back
in
service,
so
we
have
one
dedicated
air
unit
that
can
be
mobile
and
go
around
and
fill
those
bottles,
and
then
we
also
have
compressors
strategically
placed
throughout
the
city.
We
don't
have
one
on
James
Island,
so
we'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
add
that
the
next
request
goes
back
to
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
I
We
know
that
this
is
a
heavy
lift
for
us.
We
know
that
we're
not
equipped
necessarily
to
handle
this
on
our
own.
That
goes
back
to
the
the
request
for
our
consultant
to
come
in
and
partner
with
us,
so
we
can
create
a
better
Charleston
fire
department.
We
also
know
that
the
people
we
have
tasked
as
leading
the
effort
with
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
are
going
to
require
specialized
training.
So
we
do
have
a
request
into
earmark
funding
specifically
for
diversity,
training.
I
Getting
to
the
last
couple
of
requests
again,
you
see
Thames,
that's
the
the
active
shooter
type
special
team
in
the
fire
department
and
we
need
to
go
ahead
and
purchase
them
additional
different
radio
equipment,
so
they
can
function
and
interface
with
the
police
department
a
little
better.
I
The
next
request
is
a
is
a
pretty
significant
increase
to
our
travel
and
training
budget
and
what
we,
what
we
find
is
that
the
Charleston
fire
department
is
a
special
group
of
people.
I
The
whole
team
really
is,
but
we
also
find
that
we
have
got
to
get
outside
the
Charleston
fire
department
if
we
want
to
keep
pushing
this
fire
department
forward,
if
we
want
to
maintain
our
Cutting
Edge
reputation,
not
even
related
to
just
firefighting,
but
if
we
want
to
be
a
leader
in
community
risk
reduction
and
if
we
want
to
be
a
leader
in
Code
Enforcement,
we've
got
to
do
something
outside
the
Charleston
fire
department.
So
with
a
group
of
400
people
in
the
department,
we
would
like
to
bump
up
that
training
budget.
I
So
we
can
send
people
outside
Charleston.
Have
them
come
back
and
inform
the
larger
team
about
what
is
going
on
in
the
fire
service
in
general,
you
see
another
request
for
an
FTE.
This
is
for
Logistics,
obviously,
with
a
team
of
400
people
with
17
firehouses,
with
a
separate
location
for
the
Fire
Marshals,
a
separate
location
for
training,
a
separate
location
for
the
logistics
function.
I
Okay,
the
next
request
is
a
maintenance
issue.
It's
just
preventative
maintenance
for
all
the
overhead
doors
and
the
bi-fold
doors
that
we've
got
in
the
firehouses.
Obviously,
if
we
can
engage
in
preventative
maintenance,
it's
going
to
lessen
how
often
these
Doors
Break
when
these
Doors
Break
It
becomes
an
operational
issue
for
us.
It
reduces
our
response
times
or
I'm.
Sorry,
it
increases
our
response
times.
It
reduces
our
Effectiveness
and
sometimes
we
actually
have
to
shuffle
units
around
to
try
to
keep
coverage
in
place
just
because
we
can't
get
doors
open.
I
The
next
is
another
request
for
preventative
maintenance
funding.
Each
of
our
firehouses
has
an
emergency
generator
and
in
order
to
keep
those
generators
operating
and
to
extend
their
life,
we
obviously
need
to
engage
in
preventative
maintenance.
So
the
request
for
twelve
thousand
dollars
is
to
have
annual
maintenance
for
those
generators.
I
I
I
I
So
having
all
the
equipment
in
one
place
to
be
able
to
pull
to
the
scene
would
be
a
huge
benefit
for
the
Fire
Marshals
division
and
the
last
request
we've
got
is
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
it's
for
particulate
resistant,
flash
hoods,
firefighters
when
they
put
their
masks
on
with
those
air
tanks.
They
have
to
pull
up
a
hood
and
the
hood
is
designed
to
protect
their
neck
and
their
ears
from
getting
burned.
I
But
what
we
find
is
that
firefighters,
it
studies,
are
showing
that
the
rates
of
cancer
of
certain
types
of
cancer
in
firefighters
are
incredibly
High
much
higher
than
the
general
population
and
one
of
the
areas
that
studies
are
focusing
on
is
this
neck
and
head
area.
So
with
these
different
hoods,
it
would
block
the
Smoke
Out
from
getting
around
this
area
of
a
firefighter.
Currently,
the
hoods
that
we
currently
use
are
porous
and
the
smoke
is
going
to
to
get
through
them
and
it's
going
to
get
to
our
firefighters
skin.
I
H
H
That's
a
lot
to
digest.
Thank
you
chief
for
presenting
that
any
questions
from
anyone.
H
See
thank
you
very
much
just
wanted
to
add
on
the
position
you
were
talking
about:
the
community
risk
reduction
and
the
logistics
person,
those
that
you're
coming
those
with
those
positions.
Those
would
need
to
be
fully
sworn
fully
trained.
I
Not
necessarily
the
logistics
position
would
be
a
civilian
position,
so
no
Advanced
firefighting,
training
whatsoever.
The
community
risk
reduction
positions
I
think
we
could
design
them
either
way.
If
we
wanted
them
to
have
code
enforcement
responsibilities,
in
addition
to
community
risk,
then
they
would
need
to
be
trained
as
firefighters.
I
However,
if
we
wanted
to
not
have
code
enforcement,
if
we
just
wanted
them
to
focus
on
creating
a
safer
Community
for
us
there's
nothing
that
says
we
couldn't
bring
in
School
teachers
who
maybe
just
want
a
change
of
career,
we
could
bring
in
retired
School
teachers,
and
then
they
wouldn't
need
to
have
firefighter
training.
They
would
obviously
need
to
have
a
family,
a
familiarity
with
what
we
do
and
why
we
do
it,
but
they
wouldn't
necessarily
need
to
have
the
certifications.
H
I
H
Well,
you
got
us
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
Chief,
so
it's
only
been
a
few
hours,
so
we're
probably
getting
getting
an
ear
full
here,
but
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
for
everybody
else.
The
other
presenters
already
gone,
but
I
I
think
the
the
requests
have
been
very
thoughtful
and
have
tried
to
be
focused
on
the
the
priorities
and
things
y'all
feel
you
need
the
most.
H
So
we
really
appreciate
that,
like
you
say,
you
went
from
120
or
30
items
down
to
34,
so
thank
you
for
giving
it
that
scrutiny,
because,
if
as
as
has
happened,
particularly
if
we
focus
on
on
some
pay
adjustments,
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
all
these
wish
lists
for
all
the
Departments.
But
we're
going
to
do
our
best
council,
member
Shea.
C
And
I
think
that
screen
was
taken
off
a
little
bit
premature.
But
what
is
the
overall
increase?
Chief
percentage
of
wise
from
previous
budgets
to
this
year's
budget.
I
That
would
that
would
come
close
to.
We
have
about
a
40
million
dollar
budget
right
now,
so
maybe
maybe
nine
to
ten
percent
increase
yeah.
I
There
are
several
Personnel
requests
in
there
and
and
the
the
largest
one,
the
very
first
request
for
those
15
positions.
Just
as
a
reminder,
we
do
have
a
Grant
application
in
with
FEMA
and
if
that
gets
picked
up,
then
that
would
be
100
funding
of
those
positions
for
three
years
when.
I
The
original
timeline
that
FEMA
told
us
was
that
all
the
grants
would
be
disbursed
by
September
30th,
but
what
we're
finding
is
they
are,
they
are
way
way
behind
and
it
doesn't
look
like
they'll
get
them
all
out
by
September
30th
we're
trying
to
get
an
updated
timeline
from
FEMA.
We
just
haven't
yet.
I
H
And
I
guess
it
goes
without
saying,
but
y'all
explored
any
other
grants
that
would
have
covered
any
of
these
additional
expenses.
Yes,.
H
E
Sure
so
we
don't
have
anything
scheduled
I
think
until
next,
not
next
week
but
the
following
week,
so
we'll
go
over
the
rest
of
the
budgets
then,
which
would
be
I.T
police,
I,
hope,
public
service
and
TNT.
Okay.
I
E
Will
be
the
ones
that
we
go
over
next
and
I'll?
Send
you
their
lists
their
request
list
before
then,
so
you
can
look
them
over.
E
Then
we're
doing
an
inventory
of
all
the
revenues
to
council
member
of
health,
so
we
can
have
a
chat
about
that,
so
you
can
see
all
the
revenues
that
we
currently
collect
and
the
last
time
that
they've
been
increased,
so
we're
looking
at
that
too.
So
we
can
have
some
information,
so
we
can
have
those
discussions
as
well.
You.
E
E
D
A
Where
thank
you,
Mr
may
I
I
had
to
step
away
for
a
minute
while
Chief
Curry
was
doing
his
presentation.
Did
we
oh
did
you
he
addressed
the
compensation
issue
with
the
firemen
at
all?
Is
that
built
into
his
numbers,
which.
H
H
I
Yes,
sir
I
was
just
getting
the
camera
set
back
up.
Nothing
in
the
fire
department's
budget
deals
with
the
the
annual
salary
or
the
hourly
rate
assigned
to
firefighters,
that'll
be
K
cross
working
on
that.
What
our
budget
did
address
is
different
incentives
that
we
could
put
in
place
to
drive
up
the
performance
in
the
fire
department
in
areas
like
the
Special
Teams,
restoring
a
percentage
in
increase
to
Personnel
who
do
the
extra
work
safer,
the
Hazardous
Materials
team
or
the
the
Marine
team.
A
Well,
I
guess
maybe
let
me
just
get
to
the
bottom
line
when
we
finish
this
budget.
Well,
we
address
the
compensation
issues
that
the
rank
and
file
I
call
them
Rank
and
file.
Firemen
that
have
been
approaching
City
Council
meetings
talking
us
individually,
having
signs
along
neighborhood
streets
is
any
of
that
going
to
be
addressed.
Maybe
I
should
ask
that
of
the
men
in
this
budget.
H
I
I
think
councilmember
that
that
will
be
handled
in
a
more
Global
Way.
You
know
regarding
all
of
our
employees,
and
so
so
I
think.
The
answer
is
no,
that
it
wasn't
specifically
outlined
in
these
budget
requests
here
today,
because
we're
working
with
HR
and
finance
to
do
a
more
Global.
If
you
will
pay
adjustment
for
all
of
our
employees,.
A
I
I'll
I'll
Circle
back
with
with
Kay
and
with
Amy
just
to
find
out.
You
know
where
we
are
specific,
I
mean
I,
think
the
mayor's
right,
it's
probably
a
global
conversation,
but
if
we
can
drill
down
a
little
bit
into
where
we
are
specifically
with
the
fire
department,
I
think
we
can
probably
better
start
to
answer
that
question.
A
E
E
You
all
approve
that,
because
we
have
to
fix
some
of
the
compression
issues
and
all
that,
so
there
will
be
more
to
come
in
terms
of
a
global,
but
also
taking
into
consideration
the
study
that
Ryan
did
for
all
of
the
beginning,
pay
and
and
seeing
what
we
can
do
for
everybody
in
the
city.
Please
fire
everybody
to
get
those
beginning
pay
rates
more
where
in
line
where
they
need
to
be
and
then
pushing
that
through
the
pay
plan.
So
that's
cut.
E
Where
I
see
this
going
and
just
seeing
what
we
can
do
you.
A
E
A
A
I
I
was
chatting
with
Chief
jalazada
at
some
point
at
some
point
last
week,
I
believe
the
the
strategy
that
we're
going
to
engage
in
is
to
take
fiscal
year
23
to
come
up
with
a
proposal
that
will
take
Decay
into
the
mayor
into
the
into
Amy
to
integrate
the
fire
marshal
division.
Into
the
Fire
pay
plan
in
fiscal
24..
I
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
we're
pretty
thoughtful
in
that
and
with
all
the
other
pay
conversations
that
we've
had
we,
we
know
we
have
to
address
the
Fire
Marshals
division,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
do
it's
it's
what
we
actually
need
to
do
so
we're
going
to
take
the
first
couple
of
months
of
fiscal,
23
and
Hammer,
something
out
so
we'll
have
it
as
a
budget
proposal
for
the
next.
The
next
year.
E
So
that
was
it
really
just
in
two
weeks,
we'll
go
over
the
the
rest
of
the
Departments
they'll
be
able
to
present
their
their
budgets
to
everybody
and
just
we
might
need
to
start.
We
might
need
to
find
a
couple
extra
meeting
times,
especially
since
we're
gonna
be
going
through
all
those
revenues
and
all
that
so
I'll
work
to
do
that,
and
just
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
