A
As
our
summer
intern
in
the
resilience
office,

we're
really
excited
to
have
her
help.
This
summer,
she's
a
graduate
student
over
at
the
college
champion
with
a
background
in
environmental
science
and
sustainability,
so
really
excited
and
she's
she's
helping
us
update
our
sea
level
rise
strategy
and
helping
us
get
better
on
our
communication
tools,
working
on
a
lot
of
really
neat
storyboards
and
visuals,
and
working
with
all
the
different
departments
across
the
city
to
to
update
this
important
work.
A
B
Great
great,
thank
you
very
much,
kalyn
and-
and
you
know,
we'll
lead
off
the
meeting
and
and
hastings
great
to
see
you
thank
you
again.
We
have
to
meet.
You
know,
we've
wonderful
contributions
from
from
bob
and
laura
and
excited
to
have
jack
and
andrew
on
as
well
and
so
wanted
to
wanted
to
introduce
them
and
and
give
them
an
opportunity
to
introduce
themselves
as
well.
So
you
know
jack
joins
us
as
as
bob's
substitute
you
know,
replacement
for
bob
and
jack
really
really
need
great
resume.
C
So
I
will
say
in
my
five
years
in
the
army
I
was
in
the
army
corps
of
engineers
for
all
five
of
those
years,
three
of
those
years
were
sort
of
becoming
an
airborne
ranger
and
training
troops
and
the
military
side.
But
for
two
years
I
was
on
the
side
that
is
like
doing
this
project.
Here
I
was
managing
military
construction
in
okinawa.
C
B
B
You
know
very
relevant
clean
water,
advocacy,
habitat
restoration
and
pollution,
monitoring
and
reporting,
and
also
it's
really
need
to
have
a
free
of
charge
program
for
mobile
pump
out
services
in
the
harbor
so
andrew.
If
you
could,
please
give
us,
give
us
introduce
yourself
and-
and
you
know,
flesh
out
the
details.
Thank
you.
D
D
I
think
really
really
important,
obviously,
for
the
future
of
the
city
of
charleston
and
surrounding
areas
so
yeah,
I
I'm
charleston
waterkeeper
I've
been
with
the
organization
now
for
about
10
years,
and
so
I've
seen
kind
of
the
full
arc
of
this
issue
from
just
first
recognizing
that
sea
level
rise
was
an
issue
to
now
taking
steps
to
work,
to
confront
it
and
so
really
pleased
to
be
part
of
this
but
yeah.
You
know
charleston
waterkeeper,
environmental
advocacy
organization.
D
We
do
kind
of
a
our
strategy,
our
approach
to
sort
of
a
mix
of
of
activities
from
what
we
call
kind
of
boots
in
the
water
stewardship
and
as
he
mentioned,
that
can
be
everything
from
water
quality
testing
to
to
you
know,
habitat
restoration,
to
you,
know,
mobile
pump,
outs
and,
and
that
sort
of
thing
we're
also
engaged
in
what
we
call
clean
water
advocacy.
And
so
you
know
we
work
to
make
sure
that
environmental
laws
are
followed
and
we
work
to
hold
folks
accountable
for
following
those
laws.
D
You
know:
we've
been
fortunate
to
draw
a
big,
a
big
constituency
of
support
from
the
charleston
community.
It's
a
community
that
I'm
sure
you
all
are
aware,
loves
the
water
loves
to
spend
time
in
and
around
the
water.
It's
why
the
city
is
where
it
is.
It's
why
our
community
is
oriented
the
way
it
is
so
I
think
these
issues
obviously
are
very
important
and
then
I'm
thrilled
to
be
part
of
this
group
to
work
to
tackle
some
of
them.
So,
thanks
for
having
me.
B
Our
pleasure,
thank
you
so
now
again
appreciate
both
y'all
joining
us
and
in
the
time,
and
so
that
said
a
quick
point
of
order.
I'm
going
to
looking
at
the
agenda,
geordi's
finally
agreed
to
give
a
update
on
union
pier,
so
I'm
going
to
throw
that
as
the
as
the
3a
directly
after
the
update
from
the
city
so
jordy.
Thank
you
very
much
for
for
agreeing
to
do
that.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
hey
good
and
jack
and
andrew
on
behalf
of
the
the
city
part
of
this
committee.
Thank
you
thank
you
for
joining
and
whatever
welcome
you
know,
I've
spoken
with
both
of
you.
All
that
I
will
say
is
I
I
I'm
always
delighted
to
to
be
surrounded
by
what
I
call
rsps,
really
smart
people
and
so
the
I
would
count
you
as
the
as
as
an
rsp,
both
of
you
and
for
the
committee.
You
know,
you
know,
engines
and
motors.
E
You
know
they
have
a
lot
of
power
in
them,
whether
that's
horsepower
or
torque,
and
I
don't
know
if
you're
a
horsepower,
torque
but
you're,
clearly
a
strong
addition
to
the
committee
and
we
appreciate
it.
So
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
a
brief
reference
to
the
to
our
intern
hastings
merrick.
Just
just
so,
you
know
we
we
put
this
advertisement
out.
Had
a
lot
of
applications
come
in
from
a
lot
of
really
smart.
E
Smart
young
people
and
hastings
was
clearly
one
of
the
best
and,
as
we
talked
with
her
and
I
saw
her
experience,
she's
come
on
so
she's
gonna
help
us
over
the
summer.
One
of
the
things
that
we
know
that
the
city
needs
to
do
better
with
is
communicating
all
the
things
we're
doing,
and
hastings
is
helping
with
us
with
that.
So
if
you
see
her
around
or
she
pings
you
or
emails,
you
and
she's,
asking
on
on
my
behalf
or
the
mayor's
behalf
or
cayden's
behalf,
so
help
her
out.
E
E
Fortunately,
senate
and
house
staff
had
been
preparing
for
this
and
for
some
other
efforts
by
the
army
corps
engineers,
so
in
the
house
version
house
representatives
version
of
the
worker
bill,
there
is
language
to
authorize
moving
forward
with
the
project
that
build
house
bill
was
passed
in
a
strong
majority
vote,
380
to
50
or
60
370.
Something
like
that.
It's
a
pretty
strong
vote,
past
house
committee
or
house
before
the
house.
So
it's
waiting
for
senate
consideration.
E
The
senate
has
its
own
version
and
within
that
version
there
is
also
authorization
language
to
move
forward
with
the
army
corps
project
here
in
charleston
and
in
I
think,
eight
17
other
cities.
So
that's
good
or
17
other
locations.
Terrific,
the
senate
is
the
senate
schedules.
You
may
know
they
determine
it
sometimes
on
a
day-to-day
or
week-to-week
basis.
It's
it's
different
than
the
house.
E
So
and
at
that
point,
once
the
design
agreement
is
negotiated,
that
would
become
a
request
to
city
council
for
the
city's
funding
of
that.
So
we've
talked
about
this
before,
but
things
are
moving
along.
So
that's
really
good.
I
will
also
note
that
we
mentioned
the
shore
act,
which
is
legislation
that
would
enable
the
army
corps
of
engineers
to
do
more
things
with
sierra
csrm
projects
and
studies.
E
E
E
I
have
had
a
discussion
meeting
with
the
folks
up
in
new
york.
They
have
a
number
of
csrm
projects
underway
up
there
from
really
starting
in
hurricane
sandy,
but
there's
a
larger
one,
I'm
talking
with
them
to
see.
If
they
might,
they
want
to
give
you
you
all
a
briefing
at
some
point
in
the
future
about
what
they're
doing
so
that
could
be
that's
a
future
tbd
but
we'll
see.
E
So
those
are
that's
an
update
on
the
three
by
three
I'm
very
excited
to
announce
that
that
the
comprehensive
integrated
water
plan
that
you
all
pushed
hard
for
is
moving
forward.
As
you
know,
we
put
a
procurement
out
in
april.
We
closed
a
procurement
in
may.
We
had
five
major
submissions,
five
different
teams
with
substantial
submissions
to
us.
E
We
reviewed
those
internally,
a
selection
committee
of
seven,
including
two
members
of
city
council,
including
councilman,
mike
seikins
who's.
Listening
we
went
through
the
the
selection
committee
process
and
selected
a
team
again
five
submissions
that
we
selected
or
the
committee
selected
the
best
team
that
they
thought
could
could
do
the
work,
and
that
is
a
team
led
by
black
veatch,
which
is
and
stephen
o'connell
a
local
firm
or
a
national
firm
with
a
local,
strong
local
presence
here.
E
They
know
a
whole
lot
about
about
the
hard
infrastructure
and
how
the
city
operates.
That
and,
and
does
that
you
know
well-known
folks
here,
the
team
has
a
number
of
partners
in
it.
There
are
three
other
key
partners
whose
name
I
would
just
like
to
mention
to
you.
So
black
veatch
bio,
habitat
with
which
is
the
leading
nature
based
features
natural
based
engineering
firm,
the
ceo,
which
is
based
here
in
charleston,
keith
bowers.
You
may
know
him
delighted
to
have
them.
E
E
They
will
do
some
of
the
coastal
engineering
and
the
coastal
sort
of
analysis
workforce
to
make
sure
we
have
all
those
things
lined
up,
and
then
there
are
a
number
of
other
subs.
We
are
working
through
with
them
a
final
scope
instead
of
deliverables
for
them
and
once
that
we
agree
on
that
schedule,
stroke
deliverables
once
we
agree
on
that,
we
will
work
to
get
them
under
contract
and
hopefully
they
will
get
historic
work
for
us
in
in
august.
E
So
that's
all
very
encouraging
and
then
you
may
or
may
not
know,
but
city
council
did
through
its
ad
hoc
budget
committee
as
well
as
the
last
city
council
meeting.
It
did
agree
to
move
forward
with
an
additional
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
water
plan
city
councils
to
us
to
take
another
action
on
that
in
the
future,
to
I
guess,
fully,
approve
and
and
appropriate
that
money,
but
that
feels
good
and
I'll.
Just
thank
councilman
seeking
and
others
for
their
leadership.
E
On
that
strong
supporter
and
we're
delighted
for
that,
then
the
rosemont
resilience
plan
that
is
moving
forward.
You
know
we
have
a
idea
to
to
put
a
scope
of
work
out
on
the
street
real
soon,
if
we
can,
if
the
water
plan
team
wants
to
do
that
in
the
community,
wants
them
to
do
that.
That's
another
possibility,
with
with
the
procurement
contract
that
we
have
written
procurement
proposal,
we
have
written,
we'll
see
where
that
goes.
E
We
are
lamsey
is
applying
for
money
from
a
nif,
with
a
grant
application
from
nif
with
to
have
the
community
contribute
to
apportions
to
the
funding
of
this
resilience
plan.
So
that
would
be
really
good.
It's
encouraging
that
nif
with
moved
lamps
application
for
this
further
along
in
the
process.
So
it's
a
very
good
sign
and
if
that
occurs,
then
we'll
be
able
to
have
with
the
city
money
and
with
ramsey's
money
or
the
nif
with
money
we'll
be
able
to
develop
a
strong
resilience
plan
for
that
community.
E
B
Thank
you
very
much,
dale
all
great
to
hear,
particularly
well
on
all
items.
I
see
I
see
in
your
background
the
beginnings
of
the
rosemont
rosemont
plan.
So
that's,
that's.
That's
a
good
thing.
I
know
that's
a
then
long
time.
I
was
excited
to
hear
the
progress
there
so
with
that
said,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
in
the
meeting
I'd
love
to
hand
it
over
to
majority
now
to
talk
to
union
peers
unless
there
are
any
questions
or
comments
for
dale
relative
to
his
updates.
B
F
Hey,
thank
you:
hey
good
and
y'all.
I
apologize
I'm
in
route
to
greenville
to
speak
to
a
group
of
teachers
and
counselors
up
in
the
upstate
today.
So
sorry
for
the
distracting
background.
Just
quickly
wanted
to
announce,
obviously
this
friday
or
maybe
not
obviously,
but
this
friday
we
are
having
the
transition
of
leadership
for
the
port.
F
Melvin
will
be
assuming
that
on
friday,
fail
to
run
out
for
first
female
to
run
a
top
10
container
and
or
operate
awards.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
You
may
have
also
heard
that
we
are
engaging
and
moving
forward
with
the
redevelopment
of
union
pier.
So
just
briefly,
you
know
it's
an
exciting
opportunity
for
the
city
and
for
the
port.
F
It's
about
70
acres
on
the
peninsula
prime
real
estate.
That
has
been
long
talked
about
to
be
redeveloped,
in
fact
a
vision
of
mayor
riley's
many
many
years
ago.
So
we're
excited
to
be
moving
forward
with
that
there
will
be
some
opportunities
for
community
engagement
later
this
summer
and
fall
so
stay
tuned
for
notices
on
that
and
just
wanted
to
make
mention
of
that
and
say
it's
good
to
see
everybody.
I
hope
everybody's
having
a
great
summer
and
again
I
apologize
for
my
audio
and
video
this
morning
as
I'm
in
route
to
greenville.
B
Thanks
jordy,
I
appreciate
that
it's
very
very
exciting,
about
barbara
taking
over.
It's
obviously
jim's
done
a
wonderful
job
and
you
know
excited
to
see
that
success
continue
for
the
port,
any
other
notes
or
comments
on
kind
of
union,
peer
redevelopment
items
or
anything
along
those
lines
that
you
want
to
share,
or
I
know
it's
early
stage,
so
I
don't
want
to
sort
a
car
before
the
horse.
B
B
E
Yeah,
I
just
wanna-
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
here
so
union
peer
terminal
redevelopment
is,
is
you
know
an
important
project
for
the
city
for
the
region?
We're
thankful
that
the
port
and
lowe
have
brought
jacob
lindsay
back
the
former
city
planning
director
to
help
manage
that
process
and
just
show
you
where
the
city
is
in
touch
with.
We
are
in
touch
with
both
lowe
and
dan
batista
and
jacob
lindsey,
as
well
as
support
on
this.
E
We
see
this
as
a
great
evolving
partnership,
so
there
is
a
lot
of
communication
on
a
regular
basis
for
us
and
of
course,
this
will
also
impact
whatever
happens
with
the
army
corps
project.
So
there
is
a
there's,
a
collaboration
and
a
trusted
partnership
there.
So
that
should
be
that's
at
least
reassuring
to
us
right
now.
It's
great
thanks
and
I
think
I
would
toss
it
to
cash
into.
She
has
a
pretty
cool
event
this
afternoon.
G
G
Our
second
water
dialogue
series
this
afternoon
we
will
get
a
presentation
from
the
states
chief
resilience
officer
ben
duncan
and
one
of
ben's
lead
staff,
members
on
the
statewide
resilience
plan
and
and
what
the
state
is
is
doing
with
this
newly
created
office
and
then
dale
will
also
provide
us
with
some
information
on
other
states
like
louisiana,
texas
and
and
the
resilience
work
that
they've
done
so
I'd
love
for
everybody
to
join.
It's
at
four
o'clock
should
run
about
an
hour
and
I'll
be
happy
to
send
out
the
registration
link
if
y'all
are
interested.
B
B
B
With
regards
to
me
occurrence
for
july
and
august,
there's
not
a
lot
of
action
items
for
the
convorty
committee,
dylan
gil
and
I
talked
about
this
for
those
two
months
prior
to
september.
It
may
make
sense
to
move
to
ad
hoc
meetings.
I
would
obviously
love
to
open
that
up
for
discussion.
Get
everybody's
thoughts
there,
but
you
know
september
is
when
you
know
we
should
be
ramping
back
up
again.
B
A
lot
of
people
also
had
a
town
with
summer
going
on
and
all
that
so
proposed
thought
there
is
that
we
move
to
calling
meetings
for
july
and
august
at
basically
the
chair's
discretion
which
would
really
be
triggered
by
is
there
something
either
informationally
or
from
a
requisite
feedback
standpoint
for
us
to
for
us
to
handle
in
those
two
months.
So
that
said,
I
would
love
to
open
that
up
for
comments.
Questions
from
the
committee.
A

Where
does
vertibills
are
generally
non
generally
non
controversial.
They
they
generally
get
strong
bipartisan
support
that
could
they
could
be
once
the
house
and
senate
passed
their
versions,
they
could
go
to
conference
and
boom.
Kick
it
out
and
pass
the
bill.
They
could
pass
the
conference
report
pretty
quickly
and
not
without
any
controversy
in
september
or
october.
E
E
It's
a
separate
legislative
action
by
the
house
and
senate
that
would
give
the
army
corps
the
money,
specific
money
for
the
charleston
ped
process.
Okay,
and
there
are
strong
indications
that
our
congressional
delegation
would
support
that,
but
until
the
authorization
is
done,
it's
sort
of
you
do
that
in
a
stepwise
fashion.
E
E
We
would
then
work
through
that
get
that
tidied
up
and
agreed
upon,
and
I
think
that
is
what
we
would
then
suggest
that
city
council
consider
as
it
considers
how
to
fund
the
city's
contribution
to
ped.
So
that's
how
that
would
work.
I
I
I
think
again
our
schedule
is
still
q4
2022,
q3
q1
of
2020
three.
E
I
have
been
doing
that
on
a
regular
basis,
meeting
with
groups
of
20
and
30
people
online,
as
well
as
in
person,
and
just
getting
to
know
some
folks
and
then
talking
to
them
what
the
city
is
doing,
including
with
the
army
corps
of
engineers
project.
So
there
is
some
curiosity
about
that.
I
think
it's
useful.
Well,
you
know,
I
think
people
understand
things
better,
we'll
see
where
that
goes.
E
I
had
an
awesome
meeting
with
the
lowcountry
model,
a
model,
a
ford
club
with
folks
from
all
across
the
region,
and
the
best
thing
was
is
I
got
to
tell
them
about
the
project
and
they
got
me
got
to
show
me
these
old
old
ford
model,
a
vehicles,
and
that
was
just
a
lovely
benefit
to
me.
So
so
we
are
trying
to
communicate
this.
But
again,
I
think
we
need
congress
to
do
some
some
of
their
work
first
and
then
we
would
move
forward
with
with
more
information
about
this.
Does
that
make
sense.
H
It
does
I
I'm
just
concerned
about,
I
know:
you're
working
hard
to
try
to
you
know
have
have
appearances
before
civic
groups
and
some
summer
is
tough.
I'm
just
concerned
that
the
level
of
awareness
about
the
project
in
general
is
is
lower
than
perhaps
it
should
be,
and
you
know
we
need
to
be
aware
of
that.
Even
though
it's
summer.
E
D
A
E
Know-
and
they
want
a
briefing
on
this,
and
so
I
do
think
we
have
to.
I
have
to
continue
to
work
to
explain
what
this
is
and
what
it
is
not
and
where
we
are
and
where
we
are
not
but
and
what
could
be
forthcoming,
but
there's
a
fair
level
of
awareness.
I
think
people
may
wonder
what's
happening
right,
and
so
that's
my
job
is
to
help
to
try
to
explain
that
you're,
the
community,
the
committee's
publication,
you
know
is,
is
useful.
E
B
B
