Description
City of Charleston City Council Meeting 4/28/2020
A
D
E
Councilmember
wearing
I
was
reminded
us,
the
at
the
Charleston
water
service
board
at
this
morning
that,
even
though
your
dad
got
richly
deserved
accolades
for
his
service
on
City
Council
Jane
Andrews
Public
Service
District
there
for
many
years
he
served
on
CP
w
now
Charles
and
water
surface.
How
many
years
was
actually.
B
16
years
and
they
were
kind
enough,
you
know
one
of
the
things
in
lieu
of
flowers.
We
asked
with
contributions.
He
said
to
the
Waring
Center
for
seniors,
who
you
know
maybe
can't
afford
to
pay
the
full
rate.
We've
got
three
senior
centers
within
about
a
mile
and
a
half
I'm,
not
seeing
your
centers
but
senior
apartment
complexes
than
about
a
mile
and
a
half
of
that
Senior
Center
and
some
of
those
people.
F
A
C
E
A
Not
gonna
sing
these
lyrics,
but
I
thought
these
lyrics
would
be
appropriate
for
what
we're
going
through
today.
So
bear
with
me
as
I.
Read
these
lyrics
when
this
him
I
think
we'll
all
recognize
in
a
short
order:
Eternal
Father
strong
to
save,
whose
arm
death
bond
the
Restless
wave
who
bids
the
mighty
ocean
deep
its
own
appointed
limits,
keep
well
hear
us
when
we
cry
to
thee
for
those
in
peril
on
the
sea,
upon
the
terrace
dark
in
rude
in
bidis,
angry
tone
with
cease
and
give
the
wild
confusion.
A
E
I
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
if
I
may,
I
would
like
to
I
know,
it's
part
of
our
committee
for
public
works
to
talk
about
only
for
the
engineers
project,
but
since
I
have
a
little
news
for
y'all
and
the
vast
majority
of
our
comments
were
about
that
extension.
If
you
don't
mind,
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
share
that
with
you
now,
okay,
mayor.
E
And
I
read
those
this
afternoon
so
as
we
discuss
the
other
day
and
our
meeting
I
think
it
was
Friday
about
requesting
an
extension
was
comment
period.
I
think
I
shared
with
y'all
that
that
I
had
basically
requested
an
extension
even
before
then
release
the
plan,
because
I
felt
like
we
needed
a
little
more
time.
This
is
such
a
important
and
a
long-lasting
project
for
our
city.
It's
really
critical
that
we
all
have
the
time
to
digest
it
and
have
the
ability,
so
the
Army
Corps
Colonel
Rachel
hundred
got
back
to
me
this
afternoon.
E
Very
good
news
and-
and
it
surprised
me
a
little
bit-
it's
even
better
than
I
expected,
because
I
thought
that
she
would
just
give
us
a
longer
period.
But
what
she
offered
us,
which,
which
I
again
I
think
is
great,
is
to
in
essence
have
a
second
comment
period
that
would
not
occur
until
of
the
first
part
of
next
year,
2021.
So
we're
currently
under
the
60-day
comment
and-
and
that
would
run
its
course
and
we're
going
to
urge
everyone
to
make
comments
and
dig
into
the
plan
and
all
like
that.
E
That
additional
comments
can
be
made
for
a
30-day
period
that
they'll
open
it
up
to
will
will
literally
be
able
to
save
comments
throughout
their
balance
of
20/20
with
all
kinds
of
engagement
and
then
load
them
up
if
you
will
put
them
in
when
the
comment
period
reopens
at
the
first
part
of
next
year.
So
it's
it's
a
lot
more
than
saying
they're
extending
from
60
to
90
days.
It
really
almost
gives
us
a
ten
month
period
in
which
to
engage
the
public
and
to
get
comments
and
be
able
to
enter
them
into
the
process.
B
Mr.
Muir
I
think
that
I
have
to
agree
with
you
I
think.
That's
wonderful!
Did
you
discuss
what
at
the
turn
of
the
year?
Will
it
be
then
a
30-day
period
of
60-day
period
of
what
would
it
be
on
it'll.
B
B
D
It
mr.
milk
comes
from
Mitchell
aye
aye
I'm,
happy
to
hear
that,
because
I
had
a
lot
of
calls
from
the
people
in
my
district,
especially
this
roads,
not
area
and
where
bridge
view
is
located
here,
terrified
that
is
not
coming
in
their
area,
so
I
was
my
form,
was
ringing
off
the
hook.
Dealing
with
it.
D
So
I
believe
this
would
give
us
more
time
to
even
look
at
it
and
really
make
this
decision,
and
the
Corps
of
Engineers
would
look
at
very
seriously
because
they
feel
that
they're
being
left
out
orbit
and
so
far
as
they
are.
Those
areas
which
is
are
probably
low-income
areas
are
errors
that
people
you
know
african-american
areas
they
feel
it
did
being
left
out
of
it.
So
I'm
glad
that
they
extended
this.
So
we
can
give
them
more
time
to
hear
what's
going
on
and
to
learn
with
more
going
on
to
get
there.
F
Thank
you
very
much.
I
do
appreciate
you
helping
the
Corps
come
to
this
I
guess,
untraditional
decision
for
extending
or
having
a
different
way
of
engaging
public
comment.
So
thanks
for
the
work
that
you
put
into
that
mayor,
I'm
just
wondering,
are
we
going
to
try
and
schedule
an
official
council
work
session
during
the
60
days
or
what's
your
plan
or
bring
us
together?
So
we
can
start
to
you
know
here's
sort
of
the
same
information
in
the
same
room
or
same
zoom.
E
E
Delving
into
this
project
during
the
60-day
comment
period,
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
the
Corps
if,
prior
to
the
end
of
the
60
days,
that
we
get
as
many
people
to
go
ahead
and
dig
to
it
give
their
comments.
Even
if
they're
considered
initial
comments.
I
don't
want
this
to
be
a
situation
where
folks
read
this.
Oh
I'll
just
wait
until
next
year.
To
make
my
comment,
it
will
really
be
helpful
if
we
can
go
ahead
to
the
best
of
our
ability
to
make
comments
during
the
first
60
days.
E
So,
yes,
won't
people
urge
people
to
do
that
as
soon
as
we
get
to
where
we
can
have
physical
meetings
again
we'll
do
it
I'm
glad
to
schedule
a
separate
workshop
for
council
to
go.
Have
mr.
Wilford
make
a
entire
presentation
and
I
did
want
to
add
about
their
offer
that
they've
never
done
this
before
and
chorus
for
any
other
community
I
think
it's
way
beyond
the
fact
that
we're
in
the
midst
of
coronavirus,
I
think
it's
also
a
realization
of
how
important
impactful
this
project
is
to
this
community.
A
I
would
still
pick
up
on
what
you
just
commented
on.
I
think
the
danger,
like
all
things,
that
we
are
as
human
beings,
see
an
opportunity
to
respond
and
comment
for
a
second
opportunity
in
2021
and
we
can
relax,
and
that
is
the
exact
opposite
of
what
we
need
to
be
doing.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we
engage
our
community,
get
these
comments
and
engage
with
one
another
as
to
what
we
should
be
doing
with
this
project
and
then
build
on
that
in
2021.
A
E
J
You
mr.
mayor
and
again
kudos
to
you
for
working
with
the
Army
Corps
to
secure
this
additional
public
comment,
concession
I
know
that
the
federal
and
state
government's
regulatory
procedures
can
sometimes
be
pretty
difficult
to
contend
with.
So
I
I
can't
stress
enough
how
how
happy
we
should
all
be
to
have
this
additional
opportunity
and
I
thought.
I
might
just
add
that
perhaps
you
know
the
focus
could
be
over
the
next
60
days,
trying
to
tackle
some
of
the
bigger
picture
issues
here.
J
Looking
at
the
the
report,
I
mean
it
is
a
major
undertaking
with
a
lot
of
implications
and
I
think
that
that
can
be
perhaps
a
focus
of
our
time
over
the
next
60
days.
Just
be
talking
about
this
price
tag,
talking
about
this
concept,
talking
about
how
we
want
to
address
some
of
these
issues
at
a
10,000
foot
level,
I
think
that
could
be
a
good
way
to
do
it.
Thank
you.
E
F
There
I
mean
I
know
that
the
conversations
that
I've
had
with
people
since
the
report
came
out.
My
encouragement
is
that
really
we
have
the
perfect
I'm
timing
in
terms
of
looking
at
this
with
the
overview
as
you're
saying,
because
we're
about
to
start
our
comp
plan
so
I
know
we're
gonna
have
a
report
on
that.
An
update
on
that
from
mr.
F
Lindsey
in
a
second-
and
it
seems
like
those
two
things-
can
dovetail
so
perfectly
that
we're
not
gonna
compartmentalize
we're
gonna
incorporate
these
serious
decisions
we
have
made
at
the
Army
Corps
report
at
the
same
time
as
we're
making,
you
know
even
more
serious
decision
how
we
want
to
support
our
vision
for
community
next
ten
years,
so
it
seems
like
it
all
just
sort
of
comes
together.
Absolutely.
E
K
E
If
we
could
move
forward
to
petitions
and
communications,
we
are
very
blessed
to
have
with
us
this
evening.
Dr.
Cady
Richardson,
with
the
Department
of
Health
and
Environmental
Control,
we've
been
giving
council
and
the
public
an
update
on
a
very
regular
basis
on
our
response
to
covin
19
oftentimes
at
beginning
of
each
one
of
those
reports.
We'll
give
you
all
the
numbers,
but
you
know
we
all
see
the
numbers
in
the
press
and
on
on
the
news
media
every
day
and
dr.
E
L
L
He's
amazing,
okay,
so
this
is
the
agenda,
what
I
hope
to
cover
and
I
promise
not
to
talk
about
too
many
MERS,
but
the
numbers
for
today
just
came
in,
and
today
we're
reporting
a
total
of
five
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirty
five
people
who
tested
positive
for
coca
19.
These
are
the
numbers
as
of
yesterday,
but
today's
just
reported.
Unfortunately,
that
includes
one
hundred
and
ninety
two
deaths
statewide
in
Charleston
County.
We
have
four
hundred
and
thirty-eight
cases
now
and
in
seven
deaths.
L
Obviously,
it's
very
important
to
remember.
No
one
is
immune
to
this
disease
and
there's
currently
no
vaccine.
We
know
this
is
a
very
serious
and
rapidly
evolving
public
health
event.
We've
have
an
average
of
149
new
infections
statewide
per
day.
That
is
down
slightly
from
180
new
infections
per
day.
The
governor,
we
all
know,
ordered
the
stay
home
or
work
order
on
April.
L
L
H
L
L
So
87
percent
of
those
with
Kovac
19
who
have
died
in
our
state
have
been
age
61
or
over
on
the
Left.
We
see
reported
cases
and
then
the
second
bar
graph
looks
at
death.
So
we
see
that
those
who
have
been
tested
is
much
more
of
the
bell
curve
that
that
we
often
see
but
the
death
to
the
right,
which
means
our
older
population.
Moving
over
to
the
pie,
charts
can
Americans
make
up
about
27%
of
South
Carolina's
population,
but
showing
the
huge
disparities
here
with
race.
L
They
comprise
43%
of
copán,
19
cases,
statewide
and
56%
of
like
a
deaths.
We
believe
that
this
is
hard
at
least
because
african-americans
are
disproportionately
affected
by
conditions
such
as
cardiovascular
disease,
diabetes,
asthma
and
obesity,
and
people
with
such
conditions
are
at
a
higher
risk
for
severe
illness
from
the
19
years.
We
recognize
the
critical
need
to
address
these
inequities
to
reach
communities
at
higher
risk.
L
We
are
collaborating
with
our
state
and
local
partners,
including
local
churches
and
housing
authorities,
the
state
office
for
minority
affairs
and
the
office
on
Aging,
as
well
as
so
many
more
and
what
I
working
to
enhance
our
outreach
efforts.
We
do
need
to
do
more,
we're
expecting
us
to
reach
high-risk
groups
and
clearly
working
to
form
more
partnerships
to
help
express
how
conditions
such
as
diabetes,
asthma
and
obesity
exacerbate
Kovan,
19,
symptoms.
L
Here,
we've
all
heard
that
projections
may
suggest
that
the
curve
has
begun
lovable.
However
many
who
are
affected
or
continued,
we
continue
to
see
those
affected
and
we're
concerned
that
currently
we're
not
testing
not
to
be
able
to
interpret
these
projections
cause.
We
do
want
to
bring
it
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
these
project,
cautious
about
what
they
show.
What
we
see
here
and
what's
important
to
remember,
is
that
ITA's
would
work
to
flatten
the
curve.
People
will
continue
to
be.
L
An
infected
host
of
cases
will
continue
to
be
reported
and
unfortunately,
deaths
will
continue
to
occur.
So
what
this
bar
graph
shows
is
the
daily
cumulative
total
in
red
and
the
number
of
cases
reported
daily
in
the
blue
bar
graphs.
So
we
do
see
that
that
our
absolute
peak
was
around
the
8th
of
April,
but
then
again
around
the
15th
of
April.
We
had
a
peak.
L
So
these
are
some
of
the
response
activities
and
the
DHEC
has
been
conducting.
We
continue
to
deviations
of
suspect
and
confirmed
cases
we're
working
with
partners
across
the
spectrum
to
communicate
prevention
messaging.
Thankfully,
our
WIC
services
are
now
a
hundred
percent
mobile
or
over
the
phone,
and
we
have
over
4,000
new
WIC
users,
since
that
has
happened.
We've
expanded
options
in
a
variety
of
food
categories
to
address
X
shortages,
we're
working
on
increasing
availability
of
our
public
health
data,
these
guards
and
increasing
testing
capacity
in
rural
areas
and
at-risk
communities.
L
Interestingly,
surveys
show
that
the
back
a
vast
majority
of
Americans
do
support
strict
shelter
in
place,
policies
that
are
intended
to
limit
the
spread
of
disease.
80%
of
those
surveyed
by
the
Kaiser
Family
Foundation
said
that
they
could
shelter
in
place
for
at
least
another
month.
We
need
only
to
ask
South
Carolinians
to
make
great
sacrifices
through
social
distancing
closures
and
other
methods
to
reduce
the
spread
of
probit,
19
and
I
know
many
are
waiting
for
a
time
that
we
can
fully
loosen
restrictions.
L
You
can
read
all
the
different
sort
of
protections
that
will
be
put
in
place
with
with
DHEC
and
the
governor
and
counties
and
municipalities
across
our
state
as
we
reopen.
We
are
protecting
our
communities
and
the
public
as
much
as
possible,
and
this
includes
on
the
health
and
safety
of
workers
in
critical
industries.
L
So
these
are
some
of
the
guidelines
for
opening
up
America
again
and
as
we
look
at
this
and
and
think
about
sort
of
a
timeline
which
I
know
everyone
would
like.
We
continue
to
say
that
there
is
no
set
timeline,
that
we
can
give
that
the
data
will
drive
the
timeline,
but
when
the
time
comes
and
more
restrictions
are
relaxed,
it
will
remain
critical
that
everyone
continues
to
take
steps
to
stop
the
spread
of
disease
steps,
just
the
spread
of
the
disease
and
flatten.
L
The
curb
include
the
things
that
we
have
been
saying
and
you
have
been
saying
with
us
from
the
beginning,
including
practicing
social
distancing,
which
means
remaining
six
feet
apart.
No
crowds
or
large
events
wearing
a
pasquale
out
in
public,
and
that
means
a
club
face
covering
disinfecting,
frequently
touched
items,
often
regularly
washing
your
hands
and
monitoring
for
symptoms
and
staying
home
when
sick
or
when
you're
in
contact
with
someone
who
is
sick.
L
Once
the
rate
of
infection
is
assuredly
low,
we
need
to
then
take
the
steps.
Nearly
every
single
plan
recommends
to
move
for
needed,
amp
up
the
testing
infrastructure
to
acceptable
levels.
We
need
to
make
the
public
health
workforce,
we
conduct
isolation
and
contact
tracing
plans
for
monitoring
locations
to
when
we
need
to
get
more
restrictive.
Should
things
go
wrong?
We
want
to
see
testing
probably
available
in
the
community
for
people
who
have
symptoms.
We
currently
have
the
testing
capacity
between
our
public
health
lab
and
our
health
care
facilities.
L
Who've
also
ramped
up
their
ability
to
to
run
these
kovat
19
tests,
but
more
people
do
need
to
be
tested.
We
know
we
will
know
that
this
is
happening
when
we
see
a
downward
trajectory
of
positive
tests
as
a
percentage
of
total
tests
over
a
14
day
period.
Right
now
we
see
about
a
10
to
11
percent
positivity
rates
over
every
ten
people
tested.
L
One
of
those
is
positive
and
we
want
that
rate
to
fall
considerably
from
there,
which
will
be
showing
that
we
are
able
to
test
those
with
mild
symptoms
such
that
we
better
diagnose
and
then
can
isolate
and
contact
race
to
further
decrease
infections.
This
expanded
access
to
testing
must
be
paired
with
access
to
information
and
personal
protective
equipment,
essential
workers.
L
L
It's
not
at
a
place
where
a
positive
test
for
sure
means
that
someone
is
a
mean
or
that
that
person
could
return
to
work,
and
we
are
false.
Positives
and
false.
Negatives
may
lead
to
poor
decision
making
about
personal
protective
equipment
mask
or
so
decreasing
social
distancing
and
then
I'm
I'm
happy
to
to
take
them
at
this
time
and
I
will.
L
H
You
did
answered
partly
with
regard
to
collaboration,
certain
tears
and
other
organizations,
large
vulnerable
populations.
Yes,.
I
L
Yeah
one
at
a
time
would
be
great.
Thank
you.
So
I
cannot
answer
the
question
whether
it
has
already
resulted
in
increased
testing.
I
know
that
it
has
resulted
in
collaborations,
which
are
to
be
on
the
forefront
or
soon
to
be
available
include
mobile
testing
options.
That
I
understand
are
in
development
in
Charleston,
County
and
parts
of
the
state.
B
L
They've
really
been
at
the
forefront
of
take
among
FQHC,
so
those
are
some
of
the
tests.
It
is
that
I
know
about
that.
Have
occurred
and
I
mean
I
guess
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
continue
to
watch
the
demographics
to
see
sort
of
who
gets
tested
and
the
zip
code
data
that
comes
out
as
far
as
where
the
positives
are
I.
Don't
I,
guess
we'll
have
to
sort
of
think
about
how
best
to
be
able
to
measure
that,
because
we
don't
really
break
down
sort
of
the
number
of
tests.
L
L
Immunity-
yes,
yes,
no,
we're,
definitely
not
relying
on
hurt
immunity
in
South
Carolina,
unfortunately,
I
think
we
have
done
a
good
job
of
flattening
the
curve,
but
we
don't
have
these
sort
of
prevalence
studies
that
have
been
done
in
the
state
of
Washington
and
in
New
York
City.
Yet
we
suspect
that
that
the
prevalence
in
South
Carolina
is
actually
going
to
be
quite
low,
which
means
that
the
vast
majority
of
South
Carolinians,
we
believe,
are
still
vulnerable
to
the
infection.
So
we
absolutely
must
increase
testing.
L
We
must
increase
testing
across
South
Carolina,
particularly
in
rural
areas,
and
particularly
in
African
American
communities,
and
that
was
one
of
those
metrics
I
was
talking
about
that.
We
want
to
see
the
the
number
of
positive
tests
increase,
a
decrease,
sorry,
which
will
show
that
we're
actually
testing
more
people
before
they're,
more
severely
ill
or
have
symptoms
that
may
cause
them
to
need
to
be
hospitalized
or
have
more
severe
consequences.
Thank.
H
F
J
Mare
I
just
had
a
quick
question.
Dr.
Richardson
I
really
appreciate
that
presentation.
It's
great
to
be
able
to
hear
from
an
expert
on
these
issues.
You
know
we're.
We
come
from
a
variety
of
different
backgrounds:
I'm,
certainly
not
a
medical
doctor
epidemiologist
anything
to
that.
To
that
nature,
I
wanted
to
ask
you
about
a
certain
theme
that
sort
of
emerged
in
the
discourse
nationally
about
this
issue
and
there's
beginning
to
be
an
opinion
out
there
advanced
by
some
medical
professionals
that.
J
This
is
much
more
like
the
flu
and
sort
of
the
issues
that
we
experienced
with
that
on
an
annual
basis
then
previously
anticipated
in
the
early
days.
It's
now
that
a
bunch
of
data
has
come
in
both
from
around
the
country
and
around
the
world.
It
appears
this
is
still
a
minority
position
nationally,
certainly
not
what
dr.
Falchi
is
talking
about
or
dr.
Burks
is
talking
about,
but
I
wanted
just
to
kind
of
get
your
take
on
this.
Now
that
some
data
has
come
in
where
this
stands.
In
your
opinion,.
L
I've
heard,
that
is
what
how
I
started,
bringing
it
up.
I
do
think
that
there
are
aspects
of
of
Coppa
19
that
are
similar
to
the
flu,
and
we're
certainly
concerned
that
one
of
those
aspects-
maybe
there's
some
seasonality,
and
that
we
may
actually
see
a
worsening
of
rates
of
infection
in
the
fall
and
winter.
We
hope
it
just
hasn't
been
around
that
long,
whereas
case
fatality
rates
are
the
number
of
people
who
died.
L
L
The
regular
seasonal
flu
is
about
point
one
percent
I'm,
so
about
sixteen
times
higher
than
a
usual
year
of
the
seasonal
being
said.
If
we
were
to
test
everyone
right
now,
you
know
that
that's
the
key
part,
how
many
people
have
we
missed,
and
we
need
to
be
testing
more
figure
that
out
I.
Don't
think
that
it
would
be
enough
to
drop
the
tally
number
down
to
what
a
seasonal
flu
year
would
be
addition.
We
certainly
see
different
coming
ill
from
cope
19
than
the
seasonal
flu,
so
in
that
respect,
although
that
clearly
also.
L
L
B
Thank
you
mr.
mayor,
and
thank
you
also,
dr.
Richardson
forgiving,
all
this
valued
information.
Obviously
testing
resonated
in
your
talk.
Do
we
have
any
feel
for
where
the
funding
is
going
to
come
to
be
able
to
implement
the
level
of
testing
that
you
indicated
that's
needed.
In
particular,
it
will
come
to
local
governments
that
will
assist
in
that
effort.
L
L
E
M
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
Katie.
Thank
you
so
much
for
coming
and
spending
some
time
with
us.
Katie
is
a
regular
attendee
at
our
health
and
wellness
committee.
We
always
get
to
hear
all
sorts
of
great
stuff
from
her
and
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
have
a
question.
I
heard
you
I
think
say
on
the
antibody
testing
side
of
things
that
there's
been
some
false
negatives,
it's
not
as
reliable
as
you
might
like,
as
we're
devising
a
strategy
to
get
out
on
the
back
side
of
this.
M
L
Testing
will
improve
and
I
think
there
is
already
the
next
generation
of
antibody
tests
that
are
being
developed
right
now.
We
have
to
better
correlate
positive
IgG,
which
is
the
long
term
antibodies
with
immunity,
and
then
more
time
will
also
help
to
tell
us.
You
know
how
long
that
immunity
may
last,
if
indeed,
people
are
immune
with
antibodies,
so
I
do
believe
there
will
be
a
working
for
antibody
testing,
I,
just
I,
don't
and
I.
L
Don't
think
the
CDC
believes
that
we
are
there
yet
then
our
current
antibody
tests
help
with
surveillance
and
that's
what's
happened
in
New,
York,
City
and
the
state
of
Washington,
and
we
certainly
hope
that
that
will
come
to
South,
Carolina
and
we'll
use
that
and
we're
very
appreciative
of
what
MUSC
is
doing
right
now.
They're
doing
studies
looking
at
serve
a
high-risk
group
in
their
hospital,
those
who've
been
working
in
the
emergency
departments
and
the
covert
wards
and
comparing
them
to
lower
risk
employees.
L
H
L
L
We
were
sort
of
third
and
then
we
dropped
a
nine
and
now
thankfully,
we're
at
19
so
we're
almost
in
the
Midway
there.
Certainly
our
case,
fatality
rate
is
lower
than
the
state
as
a
whole
and
I.
Think
that
says
a
lot
about
our
health
care
days
here
and
the
health
care
that
that
people
receive
in
our
communities.
Did
someone
ask
about
that
or
not
oh
I,.
L
H
L
That
that's
that's
what
that
means,
and
we
we
believe
that
it's
it's
likely
higher
than
the
seasonal
flu,
but
again
without
sort
of
widespread
testing.
It's
a
little
bit
difficult
to
to
get
that
number.
We
know
that
there's
some
super
spreader
events
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
the
large
gatherings
are
are
such
a
risk
right
now,
and
so
one
person
could
be,
and
a
large
family
gathering,
for
instance,
who
may
be
infectious
and
and
many
of
those
at
that
event,
may
then
become
symptomatic
and
be
diagnosed.
L
So
for
some
of
those
events
that
are
not
is
very
large.
What
we
need
to
do
to
begin
on
the
downward
side
of
the
curve
is
really
to
get
that
are
not
below
one.
We
have
you
know
each
positive
person,
in
fact
less
than
one
other
person
I
do
not
think
that
we're
there
yet,
but
you
know
that's
sort
of
what
we
what
we
believe
when
we
see
a
flattening
and
then
a
downward.
N
You
mayor
I
appreciate
that
and
dr.
Richardson
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
and
serving
on
our
health
and
wellness
committee
as
well
and
I.
Don't
think
any
of
us
imagined
that
any
of
this
was
going
to
happen
when
we
developed
that
committee,
but
indeed
that's
got
incredible
amount
of
expertise
from
from
the
Senate,
all
the
College
of
Charleston,
from
MUSC
from
Roper
from
Charleston,
County
Schools
and
it's
a
great
committee
and
I
think
it's
helped
us
a
lot.
N
But
just
wanted
to
ask
you
on
I
know
that
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
DHEC
had
put
out
kind
of
a
prediction
of
cases
starting
to
come
down
and
I.
Think
last
week
was
supposed
to
be
it
I
think
it
was
958,
but
the
cases
ended
up.
I.
Think
for
this
past
week,
at
a
thousand
41
and
I
heard
you
say
kind
of
leveling
out,
but
does
that
change
the
thinking
of
it
going
down?
But
I
think
the
scale
had
said.
Maybe
a
hundred
cases
a
week
after
this
week
or
something
like
that?
Yes,.
L
You're
talking
about
dr.
Eric,
Brenner's
projection
and
that
is
still
on
our
website
he's
a
long
term
epidemiologist
with
the
World
Health
Organization,
as
well
as
with
the
CDC
and
DHEC,
and
we've
been
lucky
to
have
him
assist
us
with
some
of
those
numbers.
We
we're
also.
We
also
look
at
the
University
of
Washington
and
they
do
projections
out
about
sort
of
how
many
total
deaths
we
may
have
by
the
beginning
of
August.
L
We
we
do
believe
that
we're
starting
to
decrease.
We
don't
feel
like
that.
We're
hopefully
at
this
point
on
an
increase
really
hoping
that
we
have
sort
of
all
the
pieces
in
place
to
protect
our
communities,
especially
those
who
are
most
vulnerable.
When
we
do
open
up
again
so
I
would
say
for
dr.
Brenner's
projections:
I,
don't
think
they
have
changed
for
from
those
numbers
that
you're
talking
about
I,
don't
know.
If
he's
actually
redone
them,
they
will
be
posted
when
he
does.
L
But
I
do
know
that
the
University
of
Washington's
projections
do
continue
to
say
that
believe.
We've
hit
our
peak
deaths,
but
that
is
with
the
caveat
that
we
stay
continue.
Our
serfs
stay
at
home
order
through
the
end
of
May.
So
if
that
doesn't
hold
true
I
think
now
they're
actually
saying
the
middle
of
June
and
they
are
increasing
their
estimate
of
the
total
number
of
deaths
for
South
Carolina.
L
E
K
You,
mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
how
are
you
all
doing
today?
Good
very
good
I
want
I
wanted
to
just
give
you
a
brief
update
in
regards
to
a
comprehensive
plan
and
I'm
going
to
attempt
to
do
a
screen
share
here
so
we'll
see
if
I
can
bring
this
up
and
I
believe
that
you
all
should
be
seeing.
Hopefully,
we
can
see
I
screener,
very
good,
Thank
You
mr.
mayor.
So
first
thing,
as
you
all
know,
is
that
we
are
in
a
kind
of
linear.
K
It's
pandemic,
surprisingly,
the
things
that
we
have
planned
for,
but
we
still
have
to
deliver
the
comprehensive
plans
during
this
year
and
we
are
operating
under
our
deadline,
which
is
February
2021
by
state
law,
although
we
would
like
to
do
it
earth
Rath
plan
by
the
end
of
this
calendar
year
and
we've
been
working
tirelessly
behind
the
scenes
to
help
create
a
new
condition
adjusted
for
the
coronavirus
social
distancing.
That's
still
gonna
allow
us
to
deliver
this
plan
on
time
now.
K
This
slide
is
timeline
and
brief
shows
the
tasks
that
we
had
originally
laid
out
for
you,
and
this
is
the
presentation
that
I
gave
to
you
back
in
March
March
night,
and
this
was
our
original
projection
stick
when
we
can
do
those
things
and
then
this
shows
our
current
timing,
based
on
current
conditions
into
the
coronavirus
social
distancing.
So
obviously
we
are
done
with
our
pre-planning
work.
K
We
have
begun
the
kickoffs
for
these
plans,
but
our
community
partner
input,
which
is
all
the
work
with
your
constituents
with
all
of
our
community
partners,
such
as
the
Medical
University,
Institute,
shins
neighborhood
organizations,
as
well
as
what
we
had
hoped
to
call
our
Civic
labs,
which
is
going
to
be
a
really
great
public
engagement
exercise
with
experts
and
comprehensive
planning.
We're
not
able
to
do
those
things
now,
because
they
are
in-person
exercises
now
we
can
definitely
shift
some
of
them
virtual,
but
in
person
in
public
meetings
is
the
best
way
to
have
these
conversations.
K
So
we
are
currently
hoping
to
shift
these
into
late
July
in
August.
Based
on
what
we
currently
know
about
the
time
that
we
might
be
most
able
to
have
in-person
meetings,
they
may
be
under
social
distancing
guidelines.
We
may
be
having
in-person
meetings
with
everyone
six
feet
apart
wearing
personal
protective
equipment,
but
for
now
we
are
going
to
move
these
public
events
out
into
quarter,
3,
July,
August
and
early
September,
when
we
think
you
might
have
the
best
chance
to
actually
gather
together.
K
We
still
are
going
to
be
working
to
draft
the
plan,
finalize
it
toward
the
end
of
the
year
and
head
toward
an
approval
under
our
state
deadline.
Now
we're
lucky
here,
because
we
have
an
incredibly
I,
have
the
privilege
of
working
with
an
incredibly
experienced
staff
of
people
who
have
done
this
before
and
who
are
really
true
professionals
and
planning.
K
We
also
have
a
great
set
of
consultants
that
we
have
selected
with,
with
the
help
of
many
of
you
who
have
sat
on
our
consultant
selection
committees,
and
thank
you
for
doing
that
for
the
council
members
who
participated
in
those,
so
we
have
great
staff.
We
have
great
consultants,
there's
plenty
of
expertise
to
help
us
deliver
those,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
have
to
have
in-person
public
engagement
to
help
give
us
direction
about
the
future
of
our
city
and
to
ship
to
this
to
this
next
slide.
Here
this
is
our
new
plan.
K
Currently,
we
are
hoping
to
hire
our
consultants,
and
these
will
be
coming
to
you
at
your
next
council
meeting
in
May
and
I
want
to
begin
with.
The
the
most
important
of
all
of
these
consultants
is
the
the
consultant,
that's
helping
us
with
climate
change
with
flooding
and
with
how
we
address
issues
related
to
water,
and
that
is
our
top
level
concern
and
then,
secondarily,
we
are
focusing
on
issues
of
housing,
affordability
and
hopefully
we
can
go
ahead
and
hire
these
consultants
and
begin
the
process
of
analyzing
our
conditions
and
get
them
to
work.
K
So
that's
gonna
commute
your
next
council
meeting.
We're
also
gonna
hope
to
launch
our
online
input.
Now.
This
is
on
schedule
with
what
we
were
anticipating
even
before
the
virus
hit.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
an
online
input
where
people
can
log
on
we
can.
They
can
engage
our
surveys
to
give
us
input
on
the
comprehensive
plan
for
the
course
of
the
rest
of
the
year
and
that's
on
schedule.
With
our
original
plan
in
July
I'm
sit
through
September,
assuming
that
we
can
meet
even
under
social
distancing.
K
K
We
want
to
have
our
Civic
labs,
which
are
going
to
be
a
series
of
interactive
discussions
with
experts
from
housing
from
transportation
in
in
matters
of
climate
change
and
flooding,
and
those
things
again
will
occur
later
in
the
summer,
so
we
have
pushed
these
activities
off
until
we
think
we
can
actually
have
them
safely
now
with
that
sad
down
at
the
bottom.
This
is
our
goal
right
now
we
want
to
meet
our
state
deadline
of
delivering
a
comprehensive
plan
by
February
of
2021.
However,
we
anticipate
readjusting
our
schedule
as
needed.
K
If
we
get
into
the
summer-
and
it
turns
out,
it's
not
possible
for
us
to
safely
meet
to
have
large
meetings
with
your
constituents
and
to
engage
all
the
people
that
we
need
to
talk
to
when
we
craft
this
plan,
then
we're
gonna
push
things
back.
We
are
not
going
to
bring
forward
a
comprehensive
plan
until
it
has
robust
input
from
all
of
the
citizens
in
the
city
who
want
to
participate
and
for
us
for
Charleston
to
some
degree.
That
means
meeting
in
person.
K
So
that's
our
current
approach
and
it's
a
very
short
update,
but
I
wanted
to
just
let
you
all
know
that
we
are
first
of
all
hoping
to
do
this
great
work
that
we
know
is
so
important,
but
also
thinking
about
how
we
do
it
safely
heading
into
summer
season
in
the
fall.
So
with
that
I'll
conclude
this
presentation
just
say
thank
you
for
everyone
who
has
participated
in
our
consultant
procurement
meetings
and
we
will
be
bringing
those
to
you
at
your
next
meeting
in
May.
So
mayor
I'll
hand
it
back
to
you,
hey.
E
F
Thank
you.
Sorry.
Mr.
mayor,
yes,
thank
you.
We
had
essentially
a
kickoff
meeting
of
Human
Resources
Council
members
now
make
up
the
Human
Resources
Committee,
and
we
realized
that
we're
all
brand
new
to
this
opportunity
to
support
our
human
resources
department
and
a
great
staff
that
they're
established
to
provide
services
and
and
benefits
for
primarily.
F
A
ton,
for
example,
I
didn't
know
that
in
the
very
first
bill
that
the
federal
government
put
forward
the
Congress
put
forward.
That
was
primarily
to
impact
communities,
people's
ability
to
go
through
the
virus,
health
and
safety
aspect
that
there
was
a
essentially
an
unemployment
insurance
part
of
it
that
people
can
to
stay
home
if
they
have
reasons
because
they
have
children
at
home.
That
don't
have
any
other
health
care
options
during
this
pandemic
and
they
can
they
can
if
they
choose
to,
but
they
don't
have
to
use
their
personal
leave.
F
They
can
opt
to
stay
home
and
then
they
would
volunteer
that
the
bill
requires
that
they
would
be
paid
60
percent
of
their
full-time
salary.
So
we
we
received
information
about
a
few
of
our
staff.
Members
are
making
that
decision
to
people
working
full-time,
somebody's
gotta
be
at
home
with
that
with
it.
It
was
very
happy
to
know
about
that.
Bell
I
didn't
realize
that
that
had
gone
into
effect,
almost
right
away
as
soon
as
the
pandemic
was
recognized
administration.
F
We
went
on
from
that
kind
of
information
gathering
or
disseminating
to
our
council
members
to
begin
talking
about
the
resolution
that
this
council
had
put
forward
that
we
all
agreed
on
and
then
the
agreement
for
the
resolution
was
to
ask
the
Human
Resources
Committee
to
study
and
make
some
sort
of
recommendation
about
introducing
a
family
life
paid.
Family
life
leave
benefit
from
employees
and
again
I
was
very
impressed
and
I
think
we
all
were
to
appreciate
the
the
background
work
that
Miss
cross
and
her
staff
had
already
been
doing
in
response
to
our
resolution.
F
So
they've
done
a
detailed
study
of
we're
gonna.
We
we
put
forward
a
benefit
for
them
to
look
at
a
benefit
that
would
be
equal
to
federal
government's
paid
twelve
weeks
and
said
they
worked
with
the
twelve
week
as
the
extreme
medicine
that
an
employee
could
ask
to
be
paid
during
a
family
life
leave
event
all
the
way
down
to
two
extra
weeks
and
categorized
that
by
the
overall,
the
demographics
we're
waiting
to
get
that
chart.
F
They
wanted
to
fine-tune
it
a
little
bit
before
they
circulated
it
out,
but
we
saw
it
on
our
zoom
meeting
as
a
shared
document
and
a
lot
of
comparative
study
of
33
employers
that
we
haven't
seen
that,
let's
yet,
but
they
talked
us
through
some
of
the
determinations
that
they've
made
and
what
other
employers
do
for
family
life
leave.
So
I
feel,
like
we've
got
a
you
know,
a
great
wealth
of
comparative
information.
The
Commission
on
women
had
also
done
some
of
their
own
comparative
homework
like
that.
F
So
I
forwarded
that
to
our
committee
members
early
this
week,
so
I
thought
we've
got
a
great
baseline
of
being
able
to
make
some
sort
of
recommendation
our
decisions
and
bring
them
back
to
the
council.
We
started
out
as
I
think
on
the
women's
Commission.
We
started
out
not
really
assuming
that
this
would
have
to
be
a
budget
year
decision
because
other
communities
have
implemented
it.
F
You
know
in
the
midst
of
a
current
budget,
but
I
think
out
of
respect
for
the
way
that
our
budget
process
is
gonna,
kick
off
the
spring
and
go
that
we
will
probably
make
a
recommendation
to
the
council
and
then
it
would
be
implemented
for
the
2021
budget.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity.
I
really
want
to
just
make
a
public.
Thank
you
and
a
statement
of
gratitude
to
K
cross
on
her
Department
for
all
the
background
that
they've
worked
hard
on.
E
E
A
You,
mr.
mayor
the
Public
Safety
Committee,
met
yesterday
afternoon.
As
you
can
see
from
your
agenda,
we
had
a
very
ambitious
agenda
to
cover
yesterday
items
to
a
B&C
I'm
going
to
try
to
lump
together.
We
received
from
court
administration
some
information
regarding
pending
cases,
including
DUI
cases.
Back
in
August
of
2019.
It
was
reported
a
total
of
396
jury
trial
cases
were
pending,
including
the
167
DUI
cases
that
number
changed
a
little
bit
in
November
of
2018
to
398
jury
trials
and
183
duis.
A
Once
a
week,
the
municipal
judges
are
holding
pretrial
conferences
for
week-long
sessions
of
that
they
have
resolved
total
of
196
cases.
So
the
pretrial
conferences
are
working
very
well
they're,
reducing
the
number
of
caseloads
that
were
experiencing
in
additional
court
and,
as
you
know,
municipal
court
has
kind
of
taken
a
hiatus
handling.
Only
those
cases
that
involve
folks
who
are
in
detention
and
not
handling
anything
else.
Besides,
these
kind
of
emergency
type
matters,
the
we
extended
the
application
process
for
municipal
judges
went
through
the
end
of
March.
A
We
received
a
total
of
19
new
applicants
Friday.
The
committee
is
going
to
meet
to
sort
of
sort
through
those
19
applicants
to
decide
if
we
want
to
interview
all
of
them
and
come
up
with
a
schedule
of
how
to
handle
these
applicants
and
then
make
a
recommendation
to
the
mayor
for
those
positions.
So
good
news
on
on
that
front,
we
asked
the
two
Chiefs
chief,
curry
and
chief
Willis
to
give
us
out
of
a
state
of
a
report
acid,
that
particular
departments.
A
A
lot
of
information
was
received
from
both
of
them
and
we'll
try
that
reduces
as
fast
as
I
can
and
they
give
you
sort
of
a
sense
of
where
our
departments
are.
I
will
tell
you
that
we
were
very
fortunate
that
both
of
our
Chiefs
or
who
we
have
doing
this
a
pandemic
crisis,
the
they
are
working
together,
hand
in
hand
with
all
of
us,
and
we
should
be
very
fortunate
and
very
appreciative
of
their
efforts.
A
A
A
The
bad
news
with
I
think
that
we
are
gonna
be
facing
and
we'll
be
addressing
this
in.
Our
budgets
is
facilities
for
the
fire
department
at
some
point
in
time.
We're
gonna
lose
milford
street
and
we
need
to
find
a
replacement
facility
for
that
and
he
listed
a
bunch
of
stations
that
are
either
in
need
of
repair
or
replacement
and
including
station
22
on
cane
hoy
station
23
on
Johns
Island
station
10,
when
essentially
stations
15
on
chemistry,
station
16
of
Ashley
Hall,
Plantation
Road
in
station
20
off
of
prime
field
Road.
A
So
we've
got
some
facility
issues
that
will
need
to
be
addressed
in
town.
Sometime
in
the
main,
in
the
near
future,
with
our
fire
department,
chief
Reynolds
gave
us
a
sort
of
a
same
report.
We
got
in
his
department.
Of
course
the
highlight
revolved
around.
Where
are
we
doing
with
our
racial
bias?
Audit?
He
hired
a
compliance
manager,
Wendy's
driver
I,
think
just
started
recently:
he's
realigned
the
office
of
community
oriented,
oriented,
policing
and
traffic
office
of
community
oriented
policing.
A
A
Thirty
new
hires
in
the
June
2020
class
and
anticipated
a
thirty
more
hires
in
September
of
2020
property.
Comms
are
tinta
trending
down
violent
crimes
are
trending
up
aggravated
assaults,
particularly
with
since
the
:
nineteen
experience
has
trended
up
a
little
bit,
but
he
wanted
to
emphasize.
The
city
is
very,
very
safe
place
for
us
to
live
capital
improvements.
The
West
Ashley
for
release,
forensic
Center,
which
will
consist
of
22,000
square
feet,
should
be
completed
by
on
time
in
early
2021.
A
A
He
did
mention
other
issues
about
a
joint
fire
police
training
facility
regarding
rescue
you
task
force,
so
overall,
both
fire
chiefs
have
working
hand
in
hand
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
facing
our
community.
No
action
is
required
and
no
action
is
taken.
That's
just
for
information
purposes.
Only.
E
Thank
you
and
I
think
many
of
you
all
know
and
maybe
saw
pictures
that
the
fire
department
responded
so
promptly
and
admirably
to
put
out
fires
at
on
Percy
Street.
Just
this
afternoon
there
was
quite
a
blaze
going
on
there.
They
were
on
the
scene
within
two
minutes
of
getting
the
call
and
did
just
a
terrific
job,
I
think
both
chief
Reynolds
and
chief
courier
on
the
line.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
for
either
of
them,
four
of
the
chairmen,
anybody
all
right.
Well,
thank
you
for
that
report
again.
E
B
Obviously
we
met
yesterday.
We
all
know
that
drainage
is
a
huge
problem
for
the
city
of
Charleston,
huge
concern
for
really
all
of
us,
but
we're
getting
some
many
victories
and
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
those
victories
in
those
liq,
Tereza
kind
of
happen.
Across
the
city
we
had
to
update
of
the
church.
Creek
Base
and
I'ma
ask
mr.
fountain
to
touch
on
the
specifics
or
cliff
note
virgins
summarizing
those
AI
one.
Two
and
three
mr.
fountain.
G
G
We
have
one
additional
property
currently
in
real
estate,
closing
two
more
that
have
been
approved
by
council,
but
we're
waiting
for
owner
agreements
to
move
to
closing,
and
then
we
have
one
that
was
recently
approved
by
council
at
the
last
meeting
for
acceptance
of
the
the
grant
that
will
move
into
the
process
and
we
have
one
more
property
coming
to
Council.
For
acceptance
on
a
grant
that
we
received
notice.
We
were
awarded
at
the
next
council
meeting.
That's
about
a
total
of
nine
million
dollars
of
property
acquisition
and
demolition.
G
That's
occurred
in
the
basin
and
has
returned
a
pretty
good
amount
of
area
to
progress
to
sort
of
help.
Help
combat
the
flooding
that
also
ties
into
our
our
plans
and
Church
Creek
in
general,
which
were
tied
into
our
National
Fish
and
Wildlife
Foundation
approach
that
we
sort
of
adopted
after
the
dialogues
discussion
to
look
at
doing
some
natural
system
floodplain
and
wetland
enhancements
on
the
basin
to
supplement
some
of
the
long-term
large-scale
infrastructure
projects
that
have
been
identified
out
there,
which
is
actually
item
2.
G
We
are
planning
to
go
out
with
a
solicitation
asking
for
qualifications
from
design
firms,
consulting
firms
on
the
converting,
the
buyout
properties
into
multi-use
properties,
where
we're
basically
enhancing
how
much
drainage
benefit
we're
getting
versus
just
a
grass
field,
whether
they
can
be
detention,
features
whether
they
can
be
urban
forests,
other
naturalized
wetland
systems.
Other
approaches
we're
looking
to
put
that
out
and
have
a
firm
on
board
this
summer.
G
That
will
also
let
us
run
that
project,
which
has
a
lot
of
outreach
component
directly
into
the
other
National
Fish
and
Wildlife
Foundation,
grant
that
we
were
notified.
We
will
be
receiving
about
a
month
ago,
which
was
the
almost
1.4
million
dollar
grant
award
for
doing
that
same
type
of
project,
but
on
a
much
larger
scale
on
large-scale
prej
parcels
in
the
area.
So
we'll
continue
into
acquiring
some
of
those
properties
and
working
through
that
design
work
in
the
fall
early
next
year.
G
G
Recently,
the
work
we've
been
doing
in
collaboration
with
Charleston
County
for
adding
drainage
capacity
under
Glenn
McConnell
to
as
the
kind
of
gets
the
widening
that
road
to
basically
restore
the
pre-existing
connection
that
from
like
daughter,
er
down
through
Long,
Branch,
Creek
and
out
out
to
the
South
this.
This
is
one
of
the
outfall
as
the
church
creek,
the
church
Creek
Basin
originally
had.
It
would
provide
some
significant
benefits
to
the
church
Creek
basin,
as
well
as
to
the
the
basement
like
otter
or
which
has
some
flooding
as
well.
G
For
quite
some
time,
they've
asked
us
to
partner
with
them
on
another
National,
Fish
and
Wildlife
Foundation
grant
to
look
at
basically
making
those
improvements
to
Long
Branch
Creek.
So
we
had
a
discussion
that
that's
our
next
likely
application
for
grant
funding
on
that
system
Noah's
one
of
the
the
actual
funding
agencies
for
NIF
with
as
well.
G
So
this
is
really
a
nice,
a
nice
opportunity
for
us
to
leverage
again
leverage
another
agency,
as
well
as
leveraging
the
County
of
Charleston
who's
agreed
to
partner
on
this
project
and
leveraging
existing
projects
that
we're
doing,
plus
this
Dutch
dialogues,
approach
of
kind
of
reen,
a
chiral
izing
and
building
resiliency
for
four-foot
flood
relief
projects.
Mr.
G
Yeah
absolutely
so.
The
the
Weston
Sampson
study
looked
at
sort
of
a
few
different
options
in
the
area
and
what
I
mean
one
of
the
approaches
they
took
was
the
sort
of
a
traditional
pump
station
approach
that
that's
still
one
of
the
things
we're
looking
at
is
sort
of
a
long
term
project
in
the
basin.
But
it's
it's
obviously
much
more
expensive,
much
more
complex
approach.
G
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
take
some
of
their
other
recommendations,
like
the
the
reconnection
of
the
like
daughter
or
pathway,
and
again
leverage
some
ongoing
projects
with
the
Glenn
McConnell.
Widening
is
a
really
good
opportunity
to
say.
Okay,
we
have
a
project.
The
county
has
a
project
we
can
build
both
of
these
projects
at
the
same
time,
use
each
other's
resources
and
get
get
a
lot
more
done
by
the
same
amount
of
money.
So
the
light
daughter
work
is
one
of
the
things
that
Weston
Sampson
had
recommended.
G
We
think
that's
that's
sort
of
one
of
these
near-term
projects,
so
we
obviously
still
have
a
series
of
improvements
we
have
to
make,
but
we're
currently
in
the
encroachment
permitting
process
with
Geo
T.
On
that
project
we've
been
discussing
with
the
county
to
incorporate
it
into
their
design
work,
so
there
there
is.
There
is
a
good
kind
of
short-term
pathway
for
some
of
these
Weston
Sampson
recommendations.
G
G
Yeah,
absolutely
I
don't
have
as
good
a
segue
into
the
pump
station
as
I
did
between
the
first
two,
but
the
pump
the
pump
station
is
something
that
we've
been.
We've
been
talking
about
a
little
bit
at
the
Public
Works
Utilities
Committee
over
the
last
few
sessions
and
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
highlight
in
a
little
more
detail
and
that
the
Concord
Street
pump
station
actually
services
to
two
major
drainage
projects.
G
Sort
of
historical
drainage
projects
in
the
last
20
or
30
years
of
the
city
of
Charleston's
are
the
one
of
the
first
major
drainage
projects
in
Cal
human
East,
which
is
an
underground
tunnel
system
that
drains
much
of
the
kind
of
east
side
of
the
peninsula
on
the
Concord
Street
area,
as
well
as
the
Market
Street
project
that
we
added
they
added
another
tunnel
to
trains
for
the
Market
Street
basin
and
connected
into
that
existing
deep
tunnel
system
and
enhanced
that
pump
station.
As
that
project
went
in
so
this.
G
Basically,
we
have
a
pump
station,
it's
about
20
years
old,
most
of
the
electrical
system,
mechanical
pump
systems
and
the
actual
kind
of
functionality,
control
systems
of
that
pump
station
and
one
of
the
issues
we've
had
over
the
last
year.
So
is
it's
in
a
pretty
harsh,
pretty
harsh
environment.
It's
exposed
to
a
lot
of
saltwater,
it's
very
humid.
Obviously,
in
Charleston
hard
on
electrical
systems,
that's
a
very
beautiful
pump
station,
but
it's
a
little
bit
aged.
So
we've
had
we've
had
sort
of
increasing
incidents
of
maintenance
issues
and
failures.
G
We've
had
to
go
out
and
make
kind
of
repairs
or
make
upgrades
into
the
system.
We
have
had
some
parts
that
are
no
longer
supported
by
manufacturers.
Luckily,
we
have
a
really
wonderful,
independent
firm
that
we
work
with
on
on
this
station,
who
sort
of
hand
cobble
together
many
of
the
systems
that
we
still
have
out
there
and
really
has
a
good
understanding
of
what
works
and
what
doesn't
on
the
station
and
he's
done
great
job,
helping
us
keep
it
running,
but
one
of
the
things
we've
we've
done
over
the
last
six
months.
G
I
said
hey.
This
is
becoming
a
real
issue,
so
we've
developed
a
really
a
20
year,
capital,
an
ONM
plan
for
the
pump
stations,
in
order
to
say
here's
what
we
need
to
be
spending
on
an
annual
basis,
so
we
can
analyze
this
out
budgeted
into
our
budgets,
but
on
the
short
run,
of
course,
we
don't.
We
haven't
been
doing
that,
so
we
don't
have
it
set
up
with
that
approach.
G
So
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
is
probably
raise
some
awareness,
the
committee
and
then
see
if
there
are
any
questions
regarding
this-
that
we
would
likely
need
to
look
at
using
some
of
our
either
a
small
project
budget
or
some
of
our
capital
budget
to
kind
of
jumpstart
that
approach
to
get
some
of
the
deferred
again
deferred
maintenance
costs
bandaged
so
that
we
can
look
into
replace
in
the
electrical
systems.
Look
into
replacing
these
pumps
and
looking
to
replace
in
the
computer
systems
before
we
have
any
more
serious
issues
that
we
can
address.
That's.
B
A
pump
system
that,
prior
to
that
system
being
put
in
the
mill,
pointed
this
out
so
good
yesterday
that
those
of
us
are
old
enough,
remember
prior
to
that
system
being
put
in
East,
Bay
and
Calhoun,
used
to
flood
literally
by
the
number
of
feet,
not
by
inches
and
so
did
a
meeting
in
a
meeting
in
Calhoun.
That's
the
pump
station
that
mr.
fountain
just
spoke
about
being
about
20
years.
I,
don't
know
how
many
years
overdue
now
for
maintenance,
but
if
we
don't
get
those
things
fixed
and
we'll
go
back
to
what
was
so.
B
Thank
you
on
that.
Mr.
mr.
fountain,
we
bring
these
projects
up,
so
all
12
council
members
can
begin
to
think
not
begin.
You
already
are
engaged
on
projects
and
needs,
and
your
own
districts
we've
made
this
request
before
the
smaller
project
list.
I,
don't
know
if
mr.
fountain
has
heard
from
all
12
council
members
on
projects
that
they'd
like
to
see
come
forward
in
their
respective
districts,
but
the
floor
is
certain
to
open
up
today,
but
certainly
call
mr.
fountain
and
let
them
know
if
there's
a
project
of
two
in
your
area.
B
That
you'd
like
to
get
on
that
list,
councilman
Griffin
kale,
have
been
very
good,
very
engaged
at
on
this
process
on
this
stormwater
committee
and
act
aid.
It
is
definitely
and
obviously
the
man
it's
a
team
approach,
pushing
forward
because
there's
drainage
problems
that
we
have
is
gonna,
take
a
collective
and
just
not
one
or
two
people
pushing
got
to
be
thirteen
or
along
with
all
staff
and
everything.
Now
we
had
a
report
from
mister
Wilbert
on
the
seawall
and
mister
will
look.
M
O
Yeah,
sir
mr.
chairman,
I'll
be
happy
to
do
that.
So
just
in
general,
we
on
April
20
Army
Corps,
put
out
the
tentative
selected
plan
for
a
60-day
comment
period,
which
is
why
we're
hearing
so
many
comments
from
the
public
about
the
opportunity
perhaps
to
to
speak
longer.
This
is
the
time
where
the
Army
Corps
is
seeking
the
comments
from
the
public,
which
will
become
part
of
the
record
in
their
report
from
a
city
perspective.
You
know
this
is
one
of
the
threats
that
the
city
faces.
O
This
particular
solution,
which
is
a
primarily
a
flood
wall
solution
where
the
wave
attenuation
system
is
really
designed
to
protect
the
city
from
storm
surge
and,
as
we
all
know,
storm
surge
is
probably
the
most
deadly,
the
most
costly
threat
that
we
face,
but
it's
just
one
of
the
many
threats
that
we
face
and
now
is
the
time
for
the
public
to
engage,
want
to
encourage
the
public
to
engage.
We
put
a
link
on
our
website.
We've
also
encouraged
people
to
go
to
the
army.
O
Lawyers
website
read
the
report,
look
through
the
storyboard
that
I
presented
yesterday,
which
I
won't
go
through
today.
That
takes
you
kind
of
through
the
project.
Look
at
the
benefits.
Look
at
the
costs.
Look
at
what
they're
proposing
the
Army's
very
interested
in
your
comments.
Obviously,
the
city
is
very
interested
and
we
in
the
city
will
continue
to
engage
with
the
Army
over
the
next
18
months
till
we
get
to
a
final
report
which
will
be
sometime
in
May
of
2021,
so
this
is
just
the
beginning.
O
We
and
one
last
point
you
know
up
till
this
point.
We
were
really
determining
if
the
army
felt
we
had
a
by
the
release
of
the
tentative
selective
plan,
they've
determined
and
feel
that
we
have
a
project
that
meets
federal
interest
interest
and
the
cost-benefit
ratio
is
favorable
that
we
would
be
able
to
be
competitive.
Therefore,
that's
why
we're
going
to
continue
to
go
forward
and
now's
the
time
for
public
comment
to
unveil
the
project
that
everybody's
been
working
on.
Mr.
O
O
There's
a
link
there
for
not
just
a
really
good
video
of
the
commander
over
there
explaining
the
project,
but
also
another
link
that
will
take
you
to
the
storyboard
which
really
walks
you
through
the
project
takes
you
a
couple
times
to
get
through
it
to
learn
how
to
work.
It
there's
a
lot
of
ways
that
you
can
even
expand.
What
the
storyboard
shows
you
on
the
first
page
and
I
would
encourage
as
many
people
as
possible
to
go
to
that
so
use
those
tools.
O
That's
why
they
do
they've
really
gone,
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
trying
to
educate
the
public
in
this
time
of
not
being
able
to
have
public
meetings.
The
second
thing
you
mentioned
is
on
our
website.
The
city's
website,
under
both
the
storm
water
department
and
the
resilience
department
on
in
our
sea
level,
rise
strategy.
There
is
a
link
to
all
of
the
city
projects
ongoing
on
the
the
drainage
projects,
all
the
work
that
mr.
fountains
been
doing
and
his
team's
been
doing
for
for
quite
some
time,
and
it
covers
the
entire
city.
O
And
it's
really
interesting.
I
think
people
find
an
interesting
go
on
there
and
just
see
how
much
work
is
really
going
on
in
the
city,
and
it
covers
the
entire
city,
and
we
put
that
together
about
a
year
ago,
as
a
collaborative
effort
would
certainly
the
stormwater
to
parkland
our
GIS
department
and
then
miss
mccain
from
our
department
put
that
together,
and
it
was
just
a
great
effort
so
that
the
citizens
can
see
the
amount
of
work.
That's
really
going
on,
and
it's
pretty
impressive
to
take
a
look
at.
Thank.
B
You
for
sharing
that,
because
we
need
to
push
that
information
out
to
the
public,
so
they
can
see
a
lot
of
things
going
on.
There's
a
wonderful
momentum
that
came
out
of
that
Dutch
dialogues
and
that
momentum
is
continuing.
So
we
want
the
people
to
want
us
to
tap
in
as
well
as
people
we
represent.
Mr.
Muir,
that's
pretty
much
the
extent
of
my
report.
B
E
Thank
you
and
and
I
will
pick
up
on
that
suggestion
and
schedule
for
us
to
have
a
workshop
meeting
just
on
this
Corps
of
Engineers
presentation.
So
we
can
go
through
it
from
A
to
Z,
even
though
many
comments
make
may
still
be
forthcoming.
But
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
exercise
for
for
us
to
engage
in.
So
it's
another
committee
with
lots
going
on
a
lot
to
report,
but
no
action
again
required
by
council.
So
we'll
keep
moving
on
to
Committee
on
ways
and
means
give.
E
E
B
E
M
E
Unfortunately,
due
to
some
technical
reasons,
we
haven't
been
able
to
schedule
dr
B&B
a
are
eating,
yet
we're
still
working
on
that
public
input.
Part
I
hope
that
have
that
worked
out
soon,
but
we
still
haven't
done
that.
But
it's
come
to
my
attention
today
that
this
matter
really
didn't
have
a
substantive
conversation
with
some
of
the
DRB
members,
which
would
have
been
a
very
wise
thing
to
do.
In
addition
to
that,
the
format
of
it
it
turns
out
I'll,
admit,
is
it?
E
N
E
E
F
E
K
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
recently
passed
a
change
in
terms
of
the
baseball
at
elevations
and
what
this
does
is
it
grants
to
property
owners
who
happened
to
be
in
joining
districts
that
are
affected
by
that
change,
the
additional
height
so
that
they
are
not
penalized.
So,
for
example,
if
you
were
in
a
base
flood
elevation
that
has
to
go
up
two
feet,
this
grants
the
additional
two
feet
to
to
those
locations
and
it
equalizes
out
the
changes
that
we
have
recently
made
to
to
our
flawed
elevations.
It's
simply
an
ordinance.
E
E
H
K
E
E
Would
you
mind
if
we
step
back
on
just
one
matter,
I'm
putting
miss
Johnson
on
the
spot?
Here
we
we've
passed
in
ways
and
means
the
budget
for
some
of
those
extra
CDBG
funds
and
the
question
didn't
come
up,
but
miss
Johnson,
Gianna,
Johnson
and
Chris
Jordan
have
really
been
working
hard
on
a
plan
to
help
those
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
those
who
may
risk
becoming
homeless
and
I
thought
if
we
could
just
labor
a
couple
more
minutes
if
Gianna.
P
Mayor,
certainly
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
about
this
from
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development.
It's
our
Community
Development
Block,
Grant
Program,
as
well
as
our
housing
opportunities
for
persons
with
AIDS
program.
One
component,
as
was
detailed
in
the
documents
we
sent
to
you
and
council,
was
assistance
for
persons
experiencing
homelessness.
P
Currently
that
amount
which
is
300
a
little
over
three
hundred
and
thirty-two
thousand
dollars,
would
literally
assist
people
who
are
homeless,
with
both
temporary
and
permanent
lodging,
which
could
be
hotel
rooms.
We
are
working
hard
to
do
more
permanent
housing,
which
means
rental
in
those
cases,
for
these
individuals
that
funding
could
also
be
used
for
transportation
and
other
related
expenses.
We
are
working
with
180
place
in
this
regard:
origin,
South,
Carolina
in
the
navigation
center
to
get
persons
who
are
facing
these
challenges
in
housing.
The
other
component
of
this
is
for
homelessness.
P
There
are
those
who
are
currently
in
apartments.
They
are
struggling
to
stay
in
those
apartments,
and
so
we
are
providing
a
little
over
a
hundred
and
thirty
two
thousand
dollars
to
help
those
persons
who
are
encountering
those
challenges
because
of
the
pandemic,
because
they've
been
furlough
for
a
number
of
different
reasons,
and
once
we,
since
we've
secured
the
approval
from
you
all
I,
sent
an
email
to
HUD
this
afternoon,
asking
when
we
would
see
a
grant
agreement
from
them.
P
The
goal
is:
once
you
have
signed
that
grant
agreement,
we
would
do
a
request
for
applications
from
our
local
housing
providers
who
are
in
this
industry.
If
you
will
to
help
us
get
this
money
on
the
street
and
get
it
in
the
hands
of
those
individuals
who
need
it.
The
most
we're
also
having
conversations
with
truck
not
at
way
amanda
Lorenson
like
given,
so
that
we
partner
with
them
to
help
leverage
these
funds
against
other
dollars
that
are
on
the
street.
E
A
Wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
your
work
at
all
of
that,
but
I
may
have
mentioned
this
earlier,
that
a
woman
walked
in
my
office
one
day
just
off
the
street.
Looking
for
our
assistance
and
it's
a
simple
things
that
they're
looking
for,
that
they
need
that
we
take
for
granted,
and
so
when
things
like
this
pop
up,
they
don't
so
severely
impacted
on
needs
that
they
have.
So
thank
you
for
what
you
do
with
all
of
that.
