I
I'm
doing
great
doing
terrific
hope
everyone
is
so
thanks
for
taking
time
to
join
us.
Let
me
turn
off
my
phone.
Sorry
about
that,
and.
I
I
Amen,
thank
you
all
right.
So
we're
going
to
move
right
along
and
talk
about
our
2020
budget.
I
think
y'all
saw
that
amy
had
sent
out
the
charts
on
and
figures
for,
the
monthly
reports
through
june
and
she'll
give
an
update
on
that
and
then
talk
about
our
financial
position.
As
we
stand
right
now,
amy.
G
So
I
had
sent
the
monthly
reports
out
to
you
all.
Last
night
I
was
just
going
to
briefly
go
over
them
revenues
for
july,
as
you
can
see,
we're
still
well
under
our
budgeted
our
target
numbers
for
revenues
in
the
general
fund,
except
for
property
taxes
and
business
licenses,
which
we
seem
to
be
doing,
okay
and
obviously
so
far,
and
then
for
enterprise
funds,
we're
obviously
well
under
budget
for
all
of
those
as
well
continue
to
be
under
budget
under
target
expenditures.
G
You
know
we're
still.
We
haven't
done
the
amendment
yet
to
show
where
we've
we
cut
the
seven
million
dollars
from
everyone's
budgets,
but
we'll
do
that,
probably
in
october.
So
then
these
charts
will
change
a
little
bit,
but
we're
still
under
at
this
point
and
then
storm
water
is
doing
well.
G
No
concerns
we're
tracking
over
budget
for
revenues
and
under
for
expenditures
which
some
of
that
is
probably
we
haven't
done,
some
things
that
we
have
planned
to
do
yet.
So
I
wouldn't.
I
wouldn't
expect
that
much
of
a
just
to
continue
to
track
that
much
under
budget
in
the
next
few
months,
so
update
on
our
revenue
loss
projections.
G
I
just
did
a
very
quick
slide
on
this,
just
because
we've
talked
about
this
so
often
I
know
you
all
know
about
it,
just
to
kind
of
show
you
that
we're
still
tracking
on
our
projections
of
revenue
losses,
our
hospitality
did
better
than
we
thought
it
would,
but
still
obviously
way
under
where
we
should
be
so
right
now
we're
at
about
32
million.
G
G
I
G
E
G
So
our
2021
budget
is
really
where
we
wanted
to
focus.
Today.
We
have
some
proposed
municipal
golf
course:
fees
that
we
wanted
to
talk
with.
All
of
you
about
that.
We'll
later
take
to
the
golf
course
commission,
and
then
we
have
our
health
care
budget
that
went
to
the
hr
committee
a
few
weeks
ago
and
then
just
our
working
plan
for
the
rest
of
the
21
budget.
G
So
the
golf
course
fees
of
what
we're
proposing
my
office
mayor's
office
and
the
golf
course
manager
and
lori
yarborough
had
worked
on
this
together
because
of
the
new
course.
It's
going
to
cost
about
200
000
more
in
operations,
because
we'll
need
additional
staff,
agricultural
supplies
and
additional
equipment
to
to
maintain
the
golf
course.
So
the
rate
increases
will
help
with
that.
But
it
will
also
be
more
reflective
of
this
new
course
as
well,
and
what
we
should
be
charging
to
play
at
that
at
the
course.
G
F
Yeah
yeah,
so
we're
just
going
to
kind
of
breathe
through
pretty
quickly.
One
thing
we're
following
the
same
structure
here
as
we've
had
in
the
past
as
far
as
city
residents,
tri
county
residents
and
then
non-resident
being
anyone
outside
of
charleston,
berkeley
or
dorchester,
and
I
think
another
thing
to
point
out
is
important
as
we're
still
we're
not
going
to
be
increasing
junior
fees.
One
of
our
big
goals
is
to
hit
juniors
all
different
demographics.
Really
all
of
our
programs
will
remain
consistent
with
where
they
are
now
and.
F
So
so
what
we're
doing
is
kind
of
tearing
it
to
where
we're
catering
rates
to
be
as
close
as
possible
to
where
we
were
with
city
residents.
If
you
look
with
city
senior
with
a
residence,
only
a
three
dollar
increase
same
thing
with
city
residents,
seniors,
62
and
older
right
now
and
then
on
weekends,
just
saturday
and
sunday,
as
opposed
to
friday
through
sunday
we're
doing
25
so
moving
down
to
the
to
the
tri-county
area,
a
little
more
increase
than
we
had
hoped.
F
But
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
we
keep
the
city
residents
consistent
with
where
they
were
20
green
fee
to
play.
Golf
and
charleston
is
pretty
unheard
of
all,
obviously,
almost
anywhere
really
but
25
30
and
35
same
sort
of
tier
there
and
then
obviously,
with
the
non-residents,
we're
hiking
it
up
a
good
bit
more
same
pitch.
We've
had
in
place
for
a
couple
years
now,
so
nothing's
really
changed
and
looking
at
60
green
fees
for
non-residents
and
50
for
seniors
and
really
that's
on
a
percentage.
F
Non-Resident
it's
60
dollars
weekday
and
weekend
kind
of
just
figured
what
does
a
tourist
care
if
it's
a
weekday
or
weekend,
so
it's
one
flat
rate
there.
Instead
of
going
up
another
five
or
ten
bucks
on
the
weekend,
any
questions
there.
I
F
We
don't
we
don't
do
that
for
our
programs
either
we
have
for
all
of
our
leagues
the
we
do
different
leagues
for
elementary
middle
and
high
school,
that
we
host
out
here,
everything's
consistent.
All
of
our
classes
are
consistent.
All
our
tournaments
are
consistent
for
everyone,
so
we
just
distinguish
on
a
day-to-day
great
basis
and
that's
it.
C
Yeah
marshall,
thank
you
to
a
couple
of
questions
and
I'm
a
golf
hacker,
so
I
and
I
can't
wait
for
this
course
to
reopen
I'm
so
excited
about
it.
Couple
questions
sort
of
observations.
The
these
rates
are
still
very
reasonable.
I
mean
I
think
these
are
very
generous
rates
and
I'm
not
advocating
that
we
jack
them
to
the
point
that
the
public
is
not
able
to
to
to
enjoy
this.
But
how
did?
How
does
this
compare
with
other
municipal
golf
courses
up
in
north
charleston
and
westbrook
in
those
areas?
C
F
Well,
you
know:
I've
looked
at
those
are
the
two
obvious
municipal
courses,
crowfield
being
the
most
one
of
the
more
comparable
municipal
forces
to
us
and
that
it's
city
owned
and
operated
and
brokefield.
I
think
their
base
rate,
their
let's
say,
or
their
peak
rate,
is
52
bucks
to
ride
on
a
weekend
in.
F
E
G
Up,
I'm
comparison
comparison,
comparing
I'm
sorry
our
rates
to
other
golf
courses,
there's
a
couple
slides
back
that
we'll.
C
C
F
Just
totally
missed
that
on
the
right
there,
that's
ultimately
what
we
compared
other
courses
with
the
majority
of
courses
post,
just
a
rate
with
the
golf
cart
included.
F
We
have
a
good
portion
of
our
customers,
walk
which
we
encourage
I'll
show
you
in
the
next
slide
here,
but
in
comparison,
the
carts
with
the
cart
is
really
what
you're
working
off
of
with
other
courses.
So
just
keep
that
in
mind.
Get
to
that
slide
with
that
image
is
talking
about.
F
Down
here,
real
quick
at
the
bottom
user
feeds,
that
is
what
we
charge
annual
pass
holders
again.
Keep
that
in
mind
the
next
slide,
but
we're
going
to
look
at
doing
away.
D
F
That
and
you'll
see
why,
in
a
second
here,
juniors
are
showing
a
little
increase.
One
thing
I
want
to
note
on
juniors
is:
we
are
exploring
options
that
it's
going
to
stay
at
ten
dollars
and
you
know
there's
not
a
junior
rate
out
there,
that's
enormous,
but
there's
not
many
of
that
there
for
ten
dollars
either,
but
we
are
trying
to
look
at
ways
for
friends
of
the
muny
to
help
subsidize
a
program
and
probably
alongside
first
tee,
even
to
offer
free
goal
potentially
for
all
juniors.
F
So
that's
something
where
we've
been
in
discussion
with.
We
haven't
had
any
official
discussion,
but
it's
a
great
concept
and
I
think
it's
something
we
could
pull
off
potentially
and
so
that's
the
direction
we're
going
to
try
to
go
there
and
then
this
twilight
deal
down
here
is
just
when
we
let
play
come
out
late
afternoons.
F
F
Tournaments
put
outing
in
tournaments
together.
Outings
are
more
like
your
fundraiser
type
of
events,
where
we
charge
a
little
bit
more
more
like
in
the
40
to
45
range
for
golf
and
carts
the
tournaments.
We
factor
in
our
city
tournaments,
where
they're
and
those
are
ones
over
weekend
spans
where
we
don't
see
as
much
revenue
from,
but
it's
a
great
way
to
get
the
public
out
here
playing
golf.
So
that's
why
it's
kind.
B
Yeah
I
yeah
I
I
I
I
I
do
feel
like
this
is
very
reasonable.
My
husband's
group
is
like
councilmember
shade.
Nobody
can
wait
to
get
on
and
the
the
course
as
it's
come
together.
You
know
everybody's
been
holding
their
breath
that
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
more
expensive.
So
I
think
you
know
the
majority
of
people
who
play
this
course
regularly
going
to
be
very
happy
that
we're
keeping
everything
reasonable,
especially
for
the
for
the
city
residents.
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
ask-
and
maybe
it's
of
ms
wharton
so
of
the
increases,
the
total
to
almost
a
million
bucks.
Does
that
get
us
to
the
achievement
of
covering
the
200
000
operating
and
a
little
bit
of
rainy
day
net
or
how
does
that
affect
to
what
we
need
to
make.
F
Yeah
we're
overall
and
I've
looked
at
this
in
depth,
with
laurie,
matt
and
and
stephanie,
I
think,
are
on
the
line
too,
but
we
showing
just
over
2.6
million
in
revenue,
we
focus
on
the
admissions.
F
Obviously
that's
what
people
ask
first
question
people
ask
that's
what
our
biggest
portion
of
our
revenue
is,
and
I
do
want
to
point
out
one
thing:
if
you
look
at
the
bottom
here:
the
quantity
of
sales
for
2021
that
we're
projecting
49
000
rounds,
we
did
right
around
57
000
rounds
in
2019.,
so
we're
trying
to
present
a
pretty
conservative
number
here,
and
I
say
that
2018,
which
is
also
a
normal
year
as
far
as
no
construction
on
the
course
or
clubhouse
or
anything
we
did.
We
were
right
around
50
000
rounds.
F
We
had
a
couple
of
like
record.
I
think
we
had
a
year.
We
had
the
snow
in
january
and
of
record
rain
in
december,
so.
D
F
So
forth
so
we're
strictly
relying
on
day-to-day
traffic,
and
so
the
weather
becomes
our
big
best
friend
and
worst
enemy,
so
we're.
I
think
that
49
000
safe
number,
but
it
is
important
to
see
we're
not
trying
to
throw
out
an
absorbent
number
there
just
to
get
to
the
to
the
bottom
line
so
showing
just
over
2.6
total
in
revenues.
All
of
the
quantities
same
thing,
the
breakdown
of
resident
versus
non-resident,
is
fairly
consistent.
With
what
we've
seen
we
are
expecting
a
little
more
non-resident
traffic,
which
I
think
is
safe.
F
F
What
was
the
2.6
that
for
for
total
revenue-
and
I
think,
our
expenses
that
we
have
set
up
now,
which
I
don't
think,
is
finalized,
but
we're
right
around
2.4,
so
showing
a
200
000
profit
at
the
end
of
the
year.
F
Right
now,
it's
probably,
I
think
it's
67
we're
non-resident.
That's
fluctuated,
you
know
a
percent
or
two
over
the
years
and
it's
not
an
enormous
number.
The
the
percent
of
revenue
for
rounds
is
a
little
more
than
that
and
obviously
we'll
see
that
increase.
I
think
we'll
see
non-resident
play
increase
too,
but
we'll
definitely
see
the
dollars
per
round
from
non-residents.
Go
up
with
the
higher
grades.
K
And
let
me
ask
something:
does
it
make
I
don't
play
golf
right?
I
talk
a
good
game.
K
But
if
a
person
like
me
wanted
to
go
out
and
buy
a
gift
certificate,
for
I
don't
know
four
rounds
of
golf,
could
you
do
that.
F
E
K
I'm
just
wondering
if
it
makes
sense
to.
I
don't
know
how
we
market
that
or
make
that
known,
because
if
people
did
that,
it
would
in
effect,
give
us
more
money
up
front.
F
J
K
C
K
F
We've
got
crew
that
comes
and
dies,
I
don't
they
hadn't
been
out
in
a
few
years.
You
should
come
and
dive
and
then
used
to
sell
them
back
to
us
as
much
sense
as
that
may
and
we
turn
around
and
sell
it.
So
there
that's
out
there
too,
what
else?
Moving
on
the
annual
passes
here,
the
when
you
look
at
the
yearly
calls.
This
is
a
little
confusing
just
because
we're
we're
going
to
try
to
do
it
a
little
differently
in
regards
to
the
user
fee.
F
So
we
currently
charge
a
three
dollar
user
fee.
When
our
pass
holders
play
right
now
they
can
you're.
Looking
at
the
annual
prices,
450
600
650
800,
that's
basically.
Basically
we
just
do
an
equation
based
on
the
amount
of
rounds.
Try
to
do
a
break.
We
were
trying
to
do
a
break
even
at
about
50
rounds
a
year
which
is
once
a
week,
and
so,
if
you
played
more
than
that,
we
had
options
in
place
to
discount
the
golf
for
you.
So
the
important
part
here
is
this
is
not
a
membership.
F
This
is
essentially
a
bulk
rate
discount.
So
we
don't.
If
you
in
comparison
to
other
courses
that
you're
used
to
playing
or
if
you're
a
member
somewhere
else
that
comes
along
with
sometimes
a
full
membership
or
range
balls
that
are
included
or
tournaments,
that
you
have
special
access
to
so
on
so
forth,
so
this
is
more
or
less.
If
you
play
x
amount
of
rounds,
it's
worth
it
for
you,
that's
how
we
sell
it.
F
It's
a
way
to
get
to
lower
the
price
for
your
seniors
that
are
out
here
on
two
three
weeks,
two
three
day
a
week
basis
and.
F
Less
people
doing
this
program
honestly,
I
don't
know
that
I
have
any
idea
what
will
turn
of
it.
I
I
will
say:
we've
had
a
lot
of
new
requests
from
people,
I'm
not
familiar
with,
which
is
exciting,
but
too
much
of
this
play
has
been
a
concern
in
years
past,
just
with
lowering
it
effectively
lowers
your
green
feed
of
where
you
end
up
having
the
bulk
of
your
prime
play.
Your
8
o'clock
a.m
to
10
a.m.
F
In
these
in
these
sections
here,
so
it
we
don't
want
it
to
affect
the
bottom
line
too
much.
I
don't.
We
also
don't
want
to
have
to
cut
it
off
at
a
certain
quantity
either.
So
this
is
an
estimate
that
you
know
you're
going
from
450
a
year
to
a
thousand
a
year
that
may
affect
some
of
it
right
there.
F
What
we've
also
done
is
based
it
off
of
a
60
round
a
year
basis
compared
to
a
normal
rate
and
that's
kind
of
the
break-even
point,
and
but
you
want
you
know
overall
from
iran,
you
want
these
people
there.
These
are
kind
of
your
bread
and
butter.
These
are
people
that
are
there
regularly
that
are
building
up
your
golf
course
that
enjoy
being
out
there.
F
I
just
think
there's
a
fine
line
and
too
much
and,
and
that
comes
from
two
discounted
two.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
presentation
in
my
worries.
In
a
nutshell,
I
don't
I
don't
know
if
y'all
I
just
briefly
have
much
to
say
on
that,
but
that
same
structure
eliminating
the
user
fee,
which
ups
the
upfront
cost
and
and
the
projected
total
income
there
with
that
said,
is
just
based
on
135
of
these
participants
at
those
dollar
amounts.
F
F
Range
prices
we're
we're
looking
a
little
better
experience
on
the
range
we've
got
a
new
strip.
We've
got
a
lot
bigger
range
teeth,
it's
been
leveled,
better
grass,
better
conditions,
all
the
way
across
the
board
same
thing
with
the
putting
green.
We
also
have
a
three
whole
short
game
area
that
is,
will
not
be
of
any
charge
to
people
and
all
in
all
we're
looking
at.
I
think
I've
shown
a
little
bit
of
a
increase
in
quantity
of
sales.
F
I
think
that
would
be
just
because
of
the
bigger
range
t,
a
little
more
interest
in
the
facility
and
also
drier
conditions,
so
better
drainage
out
there
just
getting
more
traffic
on
the
range
so
nominal
increase
here,
but
that's
what
we
are
working
with
on
the
golf.
F
That's
important,
because
that's
your
second,
that's
our
second
highest
revenue
line.
I
think
we're
well
within
what
any
golf
course
does
around
here
is
20
to
28
dollars,
probably
for
the
cart
itself.
Obviously
we
have
a
lot
of
walkers
still
40
of
our
play.
Walkers,
whereas
actually
crowfield's
manager
told
me
recently
they
have
over
90
percent
of
their
rounds
are
riding
rounds.
So
that's
the
difference,
the
hitting
revenue,
but
it's
great
for
the
public.
It
comes
out
and
fights.
F
Here's
your
comparison
of
other
courses
basically
just
put
these
in
order
proximity
from
our
golf
course
again,
it's
a
hard
it's
hard
to
compare
what
we
offer
to
others
when
you
factor
in
location
what
it
is,
the
membership
options
and
kind
of
the
overall
target
for
what
the
facility
is
in
the
private
sector,
that's
profitable,
or
a
member
equity
golf
course,
or
a
municipal
course
just
trying
to
survive.
F
We
are
obviously
well
below
rate-wise,
where
we
stand
now
with
anyone
with
our
increase.
It
puts
our
non-residents.
F
You
know
up
to
these
couple
courses
up
in
mount
pleasant,
stone,
ferry
and
then
our
residents,
of
course,
should
still
be
the
most
affordable
raider
in
town,
and
these
are
our
weekend
peak
very
max
rates,
including
golf
carts.
F
Revenue
from
that
standpoint,
but
I
think
that
fits
the
mold
for
what
we
are.
It's
the
municipal
facility.
It's
easy
to
walk,
it's
a
good.
It's
a
good
way
to
promote
it.
I
think,
but
yeah
there's
a
lot
of
courses,
shadow
moss
being
one
that
factors
the
court
fee
into
the
green
fee
and
you
play
it
whether
you
walk
a
ride
unless
you're
a
member.
J
I
Marshall
go
back
to
the
to
the
screen
where
you
had
the
residents,
the
tri-county
residents
and
the
non-residents,
and
does
anybody
else
differentiate
the
city
from
the
tri-county
area
to
the
non-residents.
I
I
mean
it
would
seem
to
me
you're
either
in
the
city
or
you're.
Not
you
know,
you
know
to
get
a
differential
and
if
you're
going
to
have
a
three-way
tier,
I
I
would
question
whether
you,
you
add
a
little
more
fee
to
those
other
tri-county
citizens
who
do
not
live
in
the
city.
I
mean
all
of
our
taxpayers
are
helping
to
pay
for
this
and
it's
not
really
a
money,
a
big
profitable
operation.
I
I
mean
it's
a
great
facility
experience
and
all
like
that,
and
I
think
our
citizens
ought
to
get
the
primary
benefit.
I
So
I
just
that's
the
only
question
I
have
you
only
before
you
had
a
five
dollar
differential
between
somebody
who
lived
in
the
city
and
somebody
who's
from
somerville
say
not
picking
on
them,
but
anywhere
else
in
the
tri-county
region.
I
And
then
then
you
go
up
a
whole
nother
25
to
30
dollars
to
get
somebody
from
columbia
so
or
somebody
from
out
of
state.
I
just
questioned
whether
we
ought
to
have
a
little
more
bump
on
the
other
non-city
residents
right.
F
We
did
you
know
we
backtracked
and
increased
it
a
little
more
than
we
originally
had
it,
and
it's
you
know
that
pitch
makes
perfect
sense,
you're
in
the
city
you're,
not
with
the
exception
of
several
homeowners
that
live
on
this
golf
course
that
are
not
in
the
city
and
it
becomes
a
day-to-day
operationally.
The
difficult
part
is
controlling
who's,
who,
in
the
sense
that
you
have
a
lot
of
renters,
you
have
a
lot
of
people
moving.
H
F
You
know
it's,
the
tri-county
area
in
itself
seems
like
quite
a
stretch
for
for
what
we're
offering.
If,
if
we
were
to
do
any
break
for
those,
I
I
think
it's
come
up
where
we
could
maybe
reach
out
to
the
county
town
of
james
island,
san
andreas,
public
service
district
and
any
kind
of
tier
there
to
see
if
they'd
want
to
subsidize
it
for
their
residents
and
charge
a
higher
premium.
I
have
looked
at
the
numbers
and
combining
them,
and
I
can't
I
don't.
F
Exact
rate,
but
I
want
to
say
it
was
going
to
work
out
to
be
like
40
45
50.
If
we
were
to
combine
the
tri-county
and
non-residents
to
get
to
the
same
total
number
it
was,
it
wouldn't
be
astronomical.
If
we
were
to
combine
the
tri-county
non-resident,
it
would
just
be
a
much
bigger
leap,
obviously
from
tri
county
based
on
our
previous.
I
Numbers,
I
understand
so
I'm
just
curious.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
doughnut
holes
and
you
might
live
west
ashley
and
it
says
charleston
on
your
driver's
license,
but
you
live
in
the
county.
How
far
down?
Do
you
all
inquire
or
go
to
determine
whether
somebody
lives
in
the
city
or
not.
F
Well,
we've
gotten:
we've
relied
exclusively
on
the
gis,
where
our
staff
have
to
look
in
the
into
the
gis
and
the
difficulty
is.
Our
staff
seems
to
have
a
lot
of
fat
fingers
that
hit
too
many
numbers
and
letters
when
they're
typing
addresses
in
becomes
hard
to
find.
But
we've
been
working
on
programs
to
have
the
customer
if
they
want
to
get
the
city
resident
rate
to
be
equipped
with
that
information
before
they
arrive,
whether
they
go
through
red
track
online
or
another
feature
that
would
have
to
come
become
available
later.
F
F
We
could,
I
think
we
could
safely
go
by
zip
codes
if
we
needed
to
by
county.
There
might
be
one
or
two
that
are
a
little
wonky,
but
that
would
be
easier.
B
I
F
Yeah,
it
just
depends
if
those
customers
turn
out.
I
mean
I
I
I
could
look
farther
into
where
the
bulk
of
those
come
from,
if
it's
james
island
residents,
if
it's
people
traveling
from
wherever
but
there's
other
options.
F
You
know
outside
of
the
city
and
outside
of
james
allen,
john's
island
and
in
west
ashley
to
where
they
can
get
themselves
discounts
through,
whether
it
through
membership
or
other
programs
at
the
courses
to
where
they
make
free
for
this,
but
all
in
all,
you
lose
a
little
and
you
have
increased
rates,
you're
still
still
making
out
in
the
good.
So
it's
certainly
an
option.
I
C
Marshall,
would
you
mind
going
back
to
the
that
the
pass
chart
you
had
up
there
right
here:
yeah
annual
fees,
so
that's
a
huge
increase
from
450
to
500
thousand
dollars
on
the
sudden.
So.
C
F
The
adage
with
with
memberships,
like
they
say,
with
real
estate,
10
percent
of
your
players,
10
percent
of
your
sales
people
sell
90
percent
of
homes
play
90
of
the
rounds.
The
difference
here
is
that
it's
people
join
those
memberships
to
be
a
member
to
have
a
a
place
to
go
that
they
otherwise
wouldn't
be
able
to.
H
C
H
F
If
you
play
100
rounds
a
year,
if
you
play
70
rounds
a
year,
if
you
play
150
times
a
year,
so
that's
the
incentive,
if
they're
here,
two
three
days
a
week,
your
senior
residents
that
live
around
here
we've
got
a
couple
of
groups
that
play
three
days
a
week,
especially
if
you
play
weekends,
when
we
don't
offer
senior
discounts,
it's
a
much
better
deal
and
we
kind
of
fish
it
like
that.
We
talk,
we
don't
we
don't.
We
don't
really
sell
this
program,
it's
more
hey!
F
This
is
what's
offered
if
you
this
is
where
your
break
even
is.
If
you're
not
going
to
play
that
much
golf,
don't
do
it.
F
H
F
We
aren't
charging
the
user
fee
in
this
program
so
that
no,
that
is
it's
just
three
dollars
a
round,
but
at
50
times
that
puts
you
up
to
600
and
of
course
it
is
still
a
leap
but
we're
comparing
it
to
the
rate
increase
on
a
dollars
per
round
basis.
So
it's
if
you
play
90
rounds
in
a
year.
It's
a
three
dollar
per
round
increase
is
what
that
comes
to
right.
C
J
F
F
Well,
there's
with
the
the
non-residents
I
would
that
may
be
debatable.
I
would
agree
it's
it's
kind
of
a
perk
that
I
don't
know
is
necessary
for
people
who
aren't
in
the
city.
I
think
it's
you
know,
city
seniors,
make
up
what
is
it
about
60
70
percent
of
of
these
pass
holders?
F
F
J
Yes,
they
don't
have,
they
don't
have
to
buy
it.
If
they
want
to
play
pay
per
round,
they
can
do
that
and
they'll
probably
figure
it
out
economically.
What
works
out
best
for
them.
F
Right,
it's
17
bucks,
a
pop
to
play
for
as
a
senior
resident
so
and
if
they
want
to
come
in
the
afternoons
seven
days
a
week,
they
can
play
for
15.
So
there's
there's
options
out
there
for
everybody
this
is
more
or
less.
This
is
a
again.
This
is
kind
of
your
people
that
you
want
people
at
your
course
frequently.
C
F
There
you
know
we're
going
to
kind
of
follow
a
food
cost
basis
there.
So
we
have
I've
spoken
with
some
friends
in
the
restaurant
industry,
which
isn't
like
more
just
kind
of
figuring
out
the
ins
and
outs
of
how
you
come
to
certain
pricing.
It's
all
over
the
place,
but
and
we're
not
necessarily
a
business
from
that
standpoint.
But
it's
certainly
an
opportunity
to
show
some
if
nothing
else
make
sure
we
cover
our
expenses
in
there.
Our
food
cost
is
somewhere
between
45
50.
F
F
Though
you
know,
that's
all
the
way
across
the
board
a
lot
of
it's
straightforward,
we're
just
trying
to
make
sure
we
keep
track
of
the
food
costs.
That's
all
we're
doing
with
it.
I
F
Might
be
another
discussion,
but
shooting
for
I'd,
say
first
of
november
would
be
a
goal,
but
we're
gonna
have
to
have
that
conversation.
We
certainly
don't
want
to
trample
the
course
too
much
for
where
it
stands
at
that
time.
So
we'll
have
to
have
that
conversation
over
the
next
month
or
so
here.
Gotcha.
F
In
the
meantime,
if
any
of
you
want
to
come,
take
a
tour
around
shoot
me
an
email,
it's
a
good
time
to
come
check
it
out.
It's
pretty.
G
So
on
to
health
care,
which
was
reported
out
to
hr
committee
a
few
weeks
ago,
we
have
a
1.5
million
increase
in
health
care
costs
from
2020.
It's
a
7.8
percent
increase,
mainly
due
to
increase
in
claims.
We've
had
we'll
have
some
very
high
dollar
claims
that
will
continue
into
2021.
G
G
G
So
these
this
is
the
summary
really
of
where
the
increases
are.
So
you
see
medical
went
up
significantly
because
of
the
claims,
so,
whereas
we
were
at
21.4
million
last
year,
we're
at
23
million
this
year
in
total
costs,
and
then
these
are
the
premiums.
This
will
show
you
the
increases
for
the
employees
in
that
far
right
column,
depending
on
what
what
plan
our
employees
enroll
in
you
just
want
to
look
at
that
real
quick.
You
have
any
questions
on
that.
G
That's
vision
and
dental
vision
did
not
increase
at
all
dental
increased,
so
total
employee
contributions
for
medical,
dental
and
vision
is
3.5
million,
which
covers
about
15
percent
of
our
health
care
costs.
So,
even
though
we're
increasing
it
they're,
not
absorbing
you
know
the
city's
absorbing
absorbing
the
most
cost
for
health
care.
G
And
still
they
could
still
be
on
our
plan,
but
they
pay
a
higher
premium
for
that
as
a
retiree.
Julian
can
answer
that,
probably
better
than
I
can
but
go
ahead.
L
K
Okay,
I'm
exposing
two
people
here,
the
mayor
and
I
turned
65
this
month.
So
I
know
in
some
private
pla
I
mean
well
peter
does
too
so.
K
That's
right
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
you
go
throughout
the
city's,
I
don't
know
1800
or
so
employees
how
many
almost
65
or
older
that
the
city
is
still
supplementing
the
full.
You
know
benefit
on.
L
I
I
don't
really
know
those
stats,
but
I
would
say
that
there
are
probably
not
very
many
employees
that
are
that
at
that
age
you
know,
because
just
I
would
say
you
know,
there's
probably
not.
I
don't
know
for
sure.
K
At
65
or
older,
that's
a
lot
creamy.
E
E
Well
b
is
still
your
prime
a
is
kicks
in
after
you
know,
a
is
more
for
hospitalization.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,.
G
G
So
we've
been
getting
those
backs
and
back
and
we're
compiling
those
into
a
complete
list
which
we'll
go
over
over
with
you
hopefully
next
week,
I'm
trying
to
schedule
a
meeting
for
next
week
and
then
we'll
schedule
the
department's
head
meetings
over
the
next
few
weeks.
G
So
we
plan
to
just
meet
with
these
these
departments.
Please
fire
tnt
it
public
service
and
parks,
because
those
are
our
biggest
our
biggest
departments
that
have
the
biggest
expenses.
Everyone
else
really
didn't
ask
for
much
more
or
reduce
their
budget.
So
usually
those
are
the
departments
that
we
meet
with.
So,
if
you're,
all
okay
with
those
with
those
departments
and
we'll
set
those
meetings
up.
I
No
problem-
the
meeting
you
referred
to
for
next
week
is
that
of
the
budget
ad
hoc
committee
or.
G
G
Okay
and
then
we're
playing
hoping
for
september
9th
to
go
through
that
complete
list.
I
haven't,
set
the
the
meetings
out
yet
because
then
you
just
need
to
verify
with
the
clerk's
office
that
it
won't
interfere
with
any
other
committee
meetings
which
I
don't
think
they
will.
But
I
just
want
to
make
sure-
and
those
are
the
dates
that
we're
looking
for.
G
G
E
B
Can't
be
there
either
amy.
I
have
a
long-standing
dentist
appointment
or
something
okay.
G
G
We
talked
about
local
options:
sales
tax
in
our
last
meeting.
There
are
some
questions
on
you
know
our
revenue
fund
and
whether
we
give
100
of
that
back
in
what
we
want
to
do
with
that.
So
I
just
thought:
I'd
talk
about
that
and
how
how
the
how
the
rollback
fund
and
the
refund
fund
work
together.
G
We
had
this
presentation
a
few
years
ago,
but
I
understand
most.
A
lot
of
you
are
new,
so
the
way
that
this
is
distributed
per
county
is
71
of
it
is
allocated
to
tax
rollback.
67
of
that
71
is
distributed
to
the
county
and
33
is
to
the
municipalities
and
that's
based
on
the
municipality's
population.
As
a
percentage
of
the
total
population
of
all
the
municipalities
in
the
county,
clear
claire's
mud.
G
And
then
the
revenue
fund
is
the
rest
of
the
29,
goes
to
the
revenue
fund
and
that's
based
on
50
percent
on
the
location
of
the
sale
and
50
based
on
population,
and
that's
the
fun
that
we
were
talking
about
that
we
do
not
have
to.
We
do
not
have
to
give
back,
but
we
do
roll
back
from.
You
have
to
get
back
no
matter.
G
G
I
G
So
you
have
to
where
you
have
to
you,
have
to
use
the
rollback
fund
as
a
tax
credit.
The
revenue
fund
is
flexible
unless
100
of
it
is
pledged
as
a
tax
credit,
which
is
what
the
city
did
in
1990..
The
original
law
was
passed
in
1990
and
so
we've
always
given
100
percent
back
our
result.
We
did
a
resolution
in
1990
to
pledge
100
of
the
revenue
fund
as
a
tax
credit.
B
Amy
is
there,
is
there
some
then
a
correlation
to
the
mills?
I
thought,
when
you
explained
this
to
me
directly
a
couple
years
ago,
that
we
we've
always
given
back
a
hundred
percent
to
the
the
homeowner,
as
you
said,
but
something
that
we
then
we
can
actually
have
a
higher
cap
on
that
on
the
mills
annually.
G
B
On
me,
sorry,
there's
no
correlation
between
what
we
can
do
under
the
millage
rate
versus
the
way
that
we
deliver
back
the
roll
back.
If
we.
G
G
And
so
like
I
said,
we
originally
approved
100
of
revenue
by
resolution,
so
we
would
need
another
resolution
to
change
it.
We
just
would
need
to
decide
what
percentage.
G
So
we
want
to
change
it
from
100
to
what
and
I
have
some
slides
that
show
where,
where
we
might
want
to
be
with
that,
and
because
we
talked
with
legal
about
procedures,
how
this
would
work
because,
in
effect
it
would
be
a
millage
increase.
They
think
that
we
need
a
public
hearing
notice
at
least
15
days
in
advance,
and
we
would
also
need
an
ordinance
to
amend
the
budget
that
would
that
would
require
three
readings.
G
So
if
we
change
our
pledge,
our
pledge
that
we're
giving
100
back
right
now,
we've
not
received
any
of
our
assessment
numbers
from
charleston
county
we're
expecting
we're
hoping
that
we're
going
to
get
them
by
by
tomorrow
afternoon.
If
not,
it
will
be
early
in
the
week,
and
because
this
is
a
reassessment
year,
it
will
take
us
some
time
to
calculate
the
millage
rate
and
the
tax
credit
factor
rate,
because
we
need
to
calculate
the
rollback
and
everything
else.
So
it'll
take
us
a
little
bit
of
time.
G
Usually
when
we
get
the
assessments,
we
look
at
it
and
do
a
reasonable
test
with
it,
and
we
often
send
it
back
and
we
go
back
and
forth
to
the
county
a
few
times
before
we
get
a
final
number.
So
just
to
give
you
perspective
that
it
will
take
us
a
little
bit
of
time
to
do
that.
Calculation,
charleston
county,
wants
those
values
no
later
than
september
25th,
so
we're
kind
of
running
out
of
time
and
berkeley
county
starts
asking
us
in
the
middle
of
august
for
them
because
they're
they
want
them
immediately.
G
G
G
We
kept
25
percent
and
gave
back
75
of
that
fund.
The
effect
would
be
the
tax
credit
factor
would
be
zero,
zero,
zero,
seven
zero
and
that
it
would
be
an
equivalent
millage
increase
of
two
point:
three
one
mills,
and
that
would
be
the
tax
increase
to
our
citizens
in
charleston
county.
G
If
we
kept
50
of
it
and
still
gave
back
50,
then
you
see
the
effect,
it
would
be
an
effective,
a
4.62
millage
increase
and
tax
increase
of
54
dollars
in
charleston
county
for
our
citizens.
And
then
you
see
the
same
numbers
below
for
berkeley
county.
K
Amy,
a
mill
equates
to
about
1.1
million
in
revenue.
G
That's
correct
we'll
get
that
that
number
again
when
we
get
the
numbers
from
charleston
county
because
it
fluctuates
a
little
bit.
I
think
last
year
is
1.3.
So
we'll
see
what
that
rate
is
just
go
back
to
that
last.
C
G
C
C
And
then,
if
you
roll
back
75,
then
we
would
collect
an
additional
16
million.
G
A
K
A
G
G
It's
confusing
for
sure.
So
then
we
just
did
just
a
property
tax
calculation,
just
to
show
you
if
we
gave
back
75
or
if
we
gave
back
50
what
that
would
do
to
a
property
tax
bill.
So
you
see
at
100
at
718
on
a
300
000
house
and
giving
back
75
percent
be
745,
and
only
giving
back.
50
would
be
772
charleston
county,
and
then
this
would
be
berkeley
county.
G
G
Yeah
so
lost
tax
credit.
It's
calculated,
as
is
the
total
loss
credited,
which
is
that
calm
comes
from
the
shade
that
you
asked
me
about
by
the
total
appraised
value,
so
growth
and
revenue
is
a
potential
increase
in
the
tax
credit
factor,
which
means
a
lower
net
millage
over
since
1990
this
year.
It's
really
hard
for
us
to
estimate
loss
because
of
everything
being
said.
G
G
and
it's
just
hard
to
estimate
the
growth
increase
value
by
beyond
one
year.
So
growth
and
loss
revenue
over
the
years
has
always
resulted
in
a
higher
tax
credit
factor
and
lower
effective
millage
rate.
So
before
proven,
19
growth
and
loss
revenue
is
expected
to
continue.
You
know
this
over
the
years.
We've
done
really
well
with
this
and
have
been
able
to
provide
that
to
our
citizens.
G
G
So
we
have
the
2020
census
that
we'll
get
we're
supposed
to
get
the
results
in
march,
but
we've
heard
that
it's
delayed
some
like
everything
else
is
delayed.
So
that's
another
little
bit
of
an
uncertainty
for
us,
so
we're
gonna
have
to
be
super
conservative
with
how
we
how
we
project
this
out
just
so,
we
don't
end
up
giving
back
more
than
we
should
or
not
enough,
which
would
be
worse
actually.
G
So
with
us
only
having
six
months
of
revenue
to
work
with
the
nuclear
trend
and
stick
like
I
said
it's
kind
of
difficult
for
us
to
predict,
but
everything
is
difficult
for
us
to
predict
this
year.
Honestly.
So
I
know
I
don't
know
I'm
just
thinking
for
2020.
It
would
be
really
hard
to
kind
of
get
this
done
in
time
and
it
might
be
better
for
2021.
B
G
So-
and
we
would
just
do
all
this
through
the
budget
process
for
2021
so
you'd
have
all
the
procedural
I
mean
everything
would
flow
exactly
like
it
would
right
with
the
budget.
You'd
have
the
three
the
three
readings
we
could
do.
The
resolution
at
some
point
before
that
and
then
have
the
three
readings
in
december.
Like
we
always
do,
we.
B
G
Well,
it
would
be
in
our
2021
budget,
though
the
revenue
would
because
we
would
get
we'll
get
the
majority
of
that
in
20.
Usually
in
december
we
get
a
good
portion
of
that,
so
we
would,
it
would
be
in
our
that's
how
we
would
project
the
2021
property
tax
revenue
would
be
taking
this
into
consideration.
I
Okay,
thank
you.
The
reason
it
came
up
you
know
at
this
11th
hour
was
that
with
our
revenue
shortfall
that,
if
you
garnered
some
of
the
local
option,
revenue
side
that
we're
allowed
to
it
would
offset
some
of
our
revenue
shortfall
for
this
year,
but
but
amy
makes
a
good
point
would
have
to.
If,
if
we
have
to
have
a
public
hearing
and
three
readings,
we
basically
have
to
get
it
done
in
september
before
this
year's
tax
bill
goes
out,.
G
That's
right,
and
so
we
don't
even
have
the
assessment
numbers.
Yet
that's
what
makes
me
nervous
about
it
because
we
would
actually
have
to
get
it
on
this.
Next
we'd
have
to
do
something
this
next
meeting
september,
8th
meeting-
and
I
don't
have
the
I
don't-
have
the
assessment
numbers
to
even
calculate
it.
So
there's
no
way
we
could
get
it
on
on
the
september
8th
meeting,
because
I
don't
even
have
the
numbers
to
be
able
to
do
it.
I
But
I
mean
you
do
know
that
if
you
just
pick
that
50
marker
you
had,
or
example,
and
and
kept
half
of
the
29,
that
it
would
equate
to
approximately
something
like
five
or
six
million
dollars
right.
G
B
I
think
we
should
make
a
big
deal
out
of
of
retaining
the
the
way
that
we've
calculated
the
loss
for
since
1990,
in
honor
of
the
350th
anniversary
of
the
city,
just
citizens,
I
mean
honestly,
citizens
are
not
aware
of
of
what
we
do
compared
to
some
of
the
other
municipalities
in
our
in
our
region.
I
Fireworks
or
something
the
concern
I
had,
I
I
it
does
make
us
unique,
and
I
don't
know
that
it's
appreciated
by
our
citizens
that
I,
I
think
we're
about
the
only
municipality
around
that
gives
the
full
100
percent
tax
relief
back
to
our
citizens
and
it
just
comes
as
a
little
credit
on
your
tax
bill
and,
and
nobody
knows
really
how
it's
calculated.
I
So
it
just
feels
like
a
little
blessing,
a
little
gift
there
whenever
you
see
it
on
your
tax
bill,
but
it's
it's
kind
of
mysterious.
You
know
where
it
where
it
comes
from.
C
I
I
will
tell
you,
mr
man,
that
I
pay
very
close
attention
to
that,
because
it
makes
a
huge
difference
on
your
your
your
tax
bill.
C
K
Warren
yeah,
thank
you,
mr
may.
I
I
number
one
I
want
to
thank
amy
for
putting
this
these
slides
together,
but
if
we
would
I'm
sure
she's
gonna
follow
them
to
us
kind
of
look
at
this.
Do
some
homework
and
circle
back
real,
quick.
I
think
that
would
be
in
keeping.
I
don't
think
we
have
to
make
all
this
sausage
today.
G
No,
if
we
want
to
consider
this
for
2021,
I
mean
we'll
obviously
have
we'll
have
to
make
some
big
decisions
on
how
much
we
want
to
give
back
and
how
much
we
want
to
keep
and
things
like
that,
so
we,
but
I
just
wanted
to
point
all
that
out
for
2020.
I
just
don't.
I
don't
know
that
we
can
make
it
work,
but
we
can
definitely
look
at
it
for
2021
and
we
have
a
lot
more
discussion
about
it
and
numbers,
especially
once
we
get
the
assessment
from
the
county.
G
G
So
other
business,
the
tax
anticipation,
note
and
stormwater
bond
refunding
we
put
the
rfp
out
and
got
them
back,
and
we
have
an
interest
rate
of
0.44
for
the
tax
anticipation,
though
yeah
that's
pretty
pretty
good
we're
borrowing,
20
million
dollars
to
get
us
through
the
end
of
the
year.
The
closing
will
be
on
september
22nd,
it
matures
on
april
15th
and
it's
callable
at
par
on
or
after
march
first,
so
we
could
pay
it
as
early
as
march
1st
pay
it
back
any
questions
on
that.
I
K
G
And
then
we
had
an
opportunity
in
the
market
we
had
talked
about.
You
know
the
possibly
refunding
our
stormwater
bond,
but
at
the
time
it
was
almost
better
for
us
to
wait
a
year
to
do
it,
but
market's
just
favorable
right
now
for
us
to
go
ahead
and
refund
that
we
we,
you
will
see
it
on
the
september
8th
council
meeting
and
it's
right
now
it's
for
about
not
exceeding
34
million
for
that
bond.
G
G
And
then
we
have,
after
one
year
of
tax
law,
allows
we
could
convert
the
tax
because
it
will
be
a
taxable
bond.
I
should
have
said
that
in
the
prior
slide,
we
can
convert
it
to
a
non-taxable
bond
which
would
provide
additional
savings.
The
conversion
would
be
at
approximately
80
percent
of
the
interest
rate.
So
that's
where
the
additional
savings
comes
from
and
in
the
ordinance
that
you'll
see
on
tuesday,
it
authorizes
us
to
go
ahead
and
convert
that
without
it
coming
back
to
council.
G
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
amy
for
this
excellent
work
on
on
looking
at
this
2012
stormwater
revenue
bond.
Does
this
400
000
in
annual
savings
go
into
you
know,
stay
in
the
storm
water
fund
I
mean.
Is
that
like
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
we
have
now
additionally
per
year?
H
H
Well,
I
think,
there's
maybe
one
or
two
around
here.
I
feel
bad
for
matt.
His
list
is
going
to
have
to
get
a
little
a
little
longer
during
these
reports,
but
that's
good
stuff.
Thanks
guys,
councilmember.
K
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
think
you
know
early
in
the
year
taylor
last
year
I
think
earlier
this
year.
I
think
we
spent
with
something
like
sixty
thousand
dollars
of
the
kind
of
hire
our
financial
advisor.
E
K
It's
certainly
being
more
more
cost
effective.
Doing
this
I
mean
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
savings
I
mean
that's
just
great.
I
just
can't
wait
until
the
rest
of
our
bonds
come
up
and
become
callable.
I
do
believe
interest
rates
gonna
be
low
for
the
next
two.
Maybe
three
years.
G
E
K
I
I
do
have
a
question,
mr
myth.
I
I
know
we're
going
back
to
our
department
heads
and
asking
about
you
know
for
them
to
any
cuts,
and
I
know
they're
gonna
be
busy
about
doing
that.
I
did
not
ask
the
question:
do
we
have
any
consulting
contracts
out
there
that
can
be
pushed
in
pushed
off
a
year
or
what
not
can
we?
You
don't
have
to
give
me
the
answer
today,
but
I
mean:
can
we
look
into
that
and
maybe
get
a
response
sometimes
next
week
sure.
K
I
So
so
I
do
want
to
just
accentuate
that
ten
percent
request
to
the
departments
was
for
operating
expenses
and
not
to
cut
salaries
or
employee
benefits,
or
anything
like
that.
Right.
