Description
City of Charleston Council Meeting - February 11, 2020
C
Take
time
to
be
holy,
speak
art
with
thy
God
abiding
them
always
and
feed
on
his
word
as
we
come
here
to
do
the
job
for
the
city
of
Charleston
and
to
represent
our
various
district
in
our
constituents.
Let's
be
mindful
that
we're
here
as
servant
and
as
servant.
Only
and
let's
be
mindful
also
that
we
are
not
doing
things
for
personal
gains
and,
like
I
always
stated,
if
you
do
it
for
personal
gains,
that
might
things
that
say
you
need
to
go
home.
C
That
goes
for
me
too,
though,
I'd
be
I
actually
do
the
comments
are
missed
and
last
everyone
who
is
here
today
our
mayor,
councilmembers
and
everyone
who
else
is
in
this
chamber,
historical
chambers.
Tonight
we
ask
you
to
let
all
be
able
to
work
together
in
harmony
and
peace,
because
we
are
all
brothers
and
sisters
man,
it's
not
how
we
look.
We
are
brothers
and
sisters.
These
destinies
acts
in
your
name,
amen,
amen,.
B
Thank
you
all
for
being
with
us
this
evening
and
this
being
overly
competitive,
but
I
think
it's
always
thank
you
and
now
that,
in
the
most
unlikely
event
that
we
would
need
to
evacuate
the
building.
These
are
our
two
exit
doors
out
of
this
main
room
and
there's
a
exit
door
over
here.
In
that
unlikely
event,
please
do
not
use
the
elevator
but
use
the
two
stairs
going
down
and
then
the
one
stair
going
out
the
front,
but
I'd
just
like
to
share
that
with
folks.
B
B
B
Well,
as
the
league
began
as
a
mighty
political
experiment
designed
to
help
twenty
million
women,
carry
out
their
new
responsibilities
as
voters
and
to
encourage
them
to
use
their
new
power
to
participate
in
shaping
public
policy.
Whereas
the
league
has,
since
expanded
nationwide,
to
include
all
50
states,
more
than
700
local
communities,
Charleston
being
one
of
them
and
for
a
100
years
the
league
has
been
a
respective
nonpartisan
activist,
grassroots
organizations,
dedicated
to
empowering
voters
in
defending
democracy,
whereas
a
League
of
Women
Voters
of
the
Charleston
area.
This
chapter
was
founded
in
1947,
continues.
E
Thank
You
mayor
and
members
of
the
council.
Actually,
the
proclamation
is
so
well
written
that
I
don't
need
to
give
you
a
history
lesson
tonight,
really,
if
you
think
back
a
hundred
years,
women
who
had
marched
for
decades
in
all
kinds
of
weather
all
over
the
country
in
the
those
gosh
awful
dresses.
F
E
Hard
leather
shoes,
unforgiving
and
tight
and
miserable
without
water
bottles,
without
tennis,
shoes
and
with
very
few
public
facilities,
they
were
on
the
precipice
of
the
passage
of
the
19th
amendment.
Think
about
that
20
million
women
becoming
eligible
voters
to
participate
in
our
democracy.
If
you
think
about
that,
that's
an
incredibly
historic
moment,
not
simply
in
our
country,
but
in
the
history
of
mankind.
E
But
then
what
do
you
do
that
I
always
had
this
vision?
They
looked
at
each
other
and
said:
oh
no.
What
are
we
doing
and
the
conclusion
was
we
take
this
on
as
a
challenge
and
several
of
them
organized
the
League
of
Women
Voters
to
register
20
million,
first-time
voters
to
help
educate
them
about
the
issues
and
the
candidates
of
the
day
and
then
to
help
them
actually
do
their
first
vote.
What
a
what
an
inspiring
thing
to
have
been
a
part
of
our
work
continues.
E
We
still
have
voters
to
register.
We
still
have
candidate
forums
and
debates
to
help
educate
voters.
We
still
have
voters
guides
so
that
the
candidates
can
get
their
word
out
about
what
it
is.
They
stand
for.
The
work
continues,
but
with
your
support,
we
really.
We
really
know
that
we
have
a
chance
to
continue
to
live
up
to
the
principles
that
we've
all
set
aside.
E
Non-Partisanship
was
one
of
the
great
decisions
those
early
ladies
made.
It
made
them
welcome
in
every
community
across
the
country,
and
we
continue
to
hold
that
as
our
our
bedrock
principle
and
it
holds
us
in
good
stead.
A
year
ago,
you
voted
unanimously
to
encourage
the
passage
and
vacation
of
the
Equal
Rights
Amendment.
A
lot
of
good
things
continue
to
happen,
but
that's
one
more
thing:
we
need
to
get
accomplished.
We
thank
you
very
sincerely
for
this
honor
and
we
look
to
celebrate
it.
Thank
you.
B
So
we
don't
have
any
public
hearings
tonight
and
we're
gonna
move
right
along
to
approval
of
City
Council
minutes
from
January
14th.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
any
additions
deletions
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
so
we're
going
to
move
right
on
now
to
our
citizens
participation
period.
B
Close
to
20
folks
sign
up
so
we're
gonna
ask
when
you
come
forward.
Please
state
your
name
and
address
and
we're
going
to
ask
you
to
keep
your
remarks
to
about
90
seconds,
because
when
she
calls
time,
please
just
finish
whatever
thought
you
on
will
give
you
time
to
finish
your
sentence
and
all
like
that.
G
Black
History
Month
wrongful
accusation
rushed
to
judgment
to
more
african-americans
speaking
without
their
masters,
knowing
they
could
be
punishing
a
conspiracy.
That's
real
look
at
these
walls.
It
got
happened
to
black
people,
it's
so
happening
now.
The
public
safety
chairman
did
not
give
notice
of
executive
session
at
his
board.
He
did
not
do
that
so.
On
the
27th
I
got
some
from
department,
transportation,
US
Dept
occasion
for
the
u.s.
4th
Circuit
Court
of
Appeals.
A
camera
was
put
on
the
table
by
the
Internal
Affairs.
Who
was
there?
G
There
was
no
notice
little
notice
of
executive
sessions.
I
walked
in
the
room
several
times.
It
was
a
setup.
That's
what
I
believe
he's
a
former
US
Attorney
Mike
work.
There's
criminal
street
gang
statutes.
Many
our
young
people
can't
be
read
for
thousands.
He
cannot
even
read
how
they
go
and
simple
themselves
feed
him
assembly
some
of
themselves
away.
You
want
to
assemble
them
in
that
fashion,
criminal
criminal,
gang
prevention
act.
It
can't
read
so
how
they
going
for
how
they
gonna
cut
it
with
in
committee,
work,
evolved
or
Boeing
with
a
diamond.
G
What
are
gonna
work
for
this
is
about
race.
In
about
class
a
lot
a
Blackfoot
night
talking
about
does
assembly
of
our
young
people.
I
won't
talk
about
it
because
I
was
framed
and
set
up
by
black
folk
and
white
people
and
I
loved
every
minute
of
it.
That's
the
thing
about
me:
I
enjoy
this
because
being
unpopular
is
being
black.
The
whole
history
of
black
people
is
triumphant
adversity,
not
about
being
comfortable
of
your
people.
Ain't
comfortable,
you
shouldn't
be
comfortable.
That's
the
problem.
G
H
H
H
The
local
black
leadership
and
the
black
arista
see
did
you
say:
I
will
leave
a
sit
back
the
plant
while
major
Ronnie
work,
the
rich
for
the
rich
pardon
me
and
not
the
pole.
It's
not
even
a
black
and
white
thing.
It's
a
money
thing
wealthy
black
and
our
community
explorative,
just
like
white
folks,
exploited
us
from
the
white
folk,
not
good
white
folk.
The
jury
said
several
nonprofit
organization
have
been
established
in
the
black
community
by
blacks
to
benefit
blacks
which
are
funded
publicly.
Where
is
that
money
going?
H
I
A

J
F
Hello,
everybody
good
evening,
hi,
my
repulsive
I
lived
in
Darlington
County
for
73
years,
I,
packed
myself
up
and
I
moved
myself
to
my
dream
and
through
the
City
Housing
Authority
I
was
able
to
even
live
my
dream
to
live
downtown
Charleston.
Now
there
are
some
of
you
and
I
can
never
pronounce
your
name.
K
F
Only
got
very
sleepy,
we
only
got
12
places
in
our
parking
thing
and
I'm
the
ninth
on
the
list
to
be
in
the
parking
garage.
So
oh
I
have
reached
out
to
a
number
of
people
and
they
have
responded
back
to
me
and
mr.
sequence
is
trying
to
get
a
a
meeting
with
mr.
Benjamin
and
mr.
Somerville
and
but
I
like
to
put
a
face
with
everything
I
like
for
people
to
see
and
I
just
want
all
of
y'all
to
know.
If
you
do
not
love
Charleston,
don't
tell
me
about
it.
L
Good
evening
my
name
is
an
Auburn.
My
husband
and
I
have
lived
at
12
and
1/2
gansan
Street
for
the
last
21
years.
As
those
of
you
who
know
the
city
know
that
Harleston
Village
experiences
a
lot
of
flooding,
we've
had
flooding
both
in
the
street
and
in
our
house
over
the
last
several
years,
which
has
been
most
distressing
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
or
in
favor
of
the
new
revised
stormwater
manual.
I
understand,
I,
have
not
read
every
word.
L
I
would
challenge
anybody
in
this
room
to
ask
if
they
have
read
every
word,
it's
very
long
and
complicated,
which
tells
me
that
a
very
large
number
of
very
smart
people
worked
on
it.
Obviously,
it's
something
new
to
the
city,
but
I
feel
very
strongly
that
anything
that
week
the
city
can
do
to
mitigate
flooding
to
help
in
stemming
the
tide.
Sorry
bad
pun,
of
what
we're
experiencing
in
this
city
and
what
we
will
continue
to
experience
I
urge
you
to
accept.
It
I
understand
it's
up
for
a
second
reading
this
evening.
M
Hi
I'm
Susan,
Lyons
I'm,
not
gonna,
touch
this
tonight.
I
am
so
Thank
You
mayor
attack
the
moon
I'm,
so
grateful
that
we
have
an
extraordinary
stormwater
department.
Now
they
are
working
on
all
cylinders
to
make
sure
that
we
preserve
the
city.
We
love
that
we
build
it
in
a
way
that
makes
sense
in
light
of
see
rise
and
that
we
pay
attention
to
the
impact
the
water
increasingly
has
on
our
neighborhoods.
M
We
need
the
new
carefully
designed
stormwater
manual
as
a
development
guide
to
help
avoid
the
unnecessary
mistakes
and
miscalculations
such
as
have
occurred
in
the
past,
and
we
need
to
trust
our
stormwater
and
resilience.
Professor
professionals
like
matt,
fountain
and
mark
Wilbert.
I
urge
the
members
of
congress,
the
inclination
to
revert
to
past
practices
flooding,
which
is
what
our
future
surely
holds,
compels
a
better
approach,
please
on
second
reading,
which
I
realize
is
not
tonight's.
Coming
up
on
second
and
third
readings,
please
move
ahead,
approve
the
stormwater
manual
for
everybody's
sake.
Thank
you.
N
N
It's
the
nuance
that
I
refer
to
in
the
two
weeks
since
I
was
here.
I've
heard
rumblings
that
there
may
be
efforts
to
if
you
will
water
down
some
of
the
stronger
provisions
of
the
manual
in
the
second.
Perhaps
third
reading
I
urged
the
council
members
to
consider
any
average
to
water
down
this
document
very
carefully,
now
I'm,
a
lifelong
journalist,
retired
now
so
I
normally
don't.
N
A
O
Well,
we're
coming
out
in
mass
I'm
Laurie
Kramer
I
met
at
eleven
Gadsden
Street.
You
have
seen
my
home
in
the
paper
quite
a
few
times,
I'm
on
the
severan,
repetitive
lost
property,
we've
taken
up
to
32,
inches
of
water
and
our
on
our
property.
So
yes
I'm
here
to
say
again,
there's
a
whole
lot
of
us
out
here
that
are
living
this
flood
mass,
this
flood
horror
and
this
flood
reality.
The
stormwater
manual
is
exciting
for
us,
just
as
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
O
We're
seeing
progress
on
flooding,
I
have
to
say
the
recent
efforts
in
it
have
been
obvious
and
I
can
only
hope
for
more.
But
what
I
did
here
when
I
first
voted
for
you
was
that
infrastructure
was
going
to
matter
to
this
administration
and
infrastructure
is
what
we're
talking
about
here
and
it's
the
point
of
this
infrastructure.
That's
going
to
save
the
city.
We
can't
have
tourism
with
excessive
flooding.
We
can't
maintain
our
property
values
with
excessive
flooding.
O
I
I
am
well
I'm,
Lori's
husband
and
that's
a
hard
act
to
follow.
I
haven't
read
the
storm
document
myself,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
we
do
flood
continuously.
It's
an
ongoing
problem
throughout
the
city
and
any
efforts
to
curtail
a
solution
to
that
problem
is
not
feasible
and
I
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
time.
Some
people
have
gone
over
time.
We
do
need
to
think
about
the
future
in
the
future
is
not
the
past.
Thank
you.
P
That
was
a
bad
word
four
years
ago.
Only
and
now
we
have
five
people
waiting
for
grants
from
FEMA
to
elevate
their
homes.
I
think
this
is
a
conversation
that
I've
waited
for
for
four
years
and
I'm
thrilled
that
we're
moving
forward
and
I'll
still
be
here
to
make
sure
we
will
move
forward
that
embraces
the
stormwater
manual.
I
know
it's
extensive
and,
let's
not
fall
back
on
the
bad
practices
that
have
been
exampled
in
the
past.
Q
Q
My
name
is
Edward
good
I
grew
up
in
Charleston.
My
dad's
office
is
right
below
this
did
good
was
the
engineer,
but
I
mean
Houston
for
50
years,
my
next-door
neighbors
here
and
told
me.
There
was
a
meeting
today
about
diverting
traffic
on
golf.
You
drive
from
a
bank
which
would
put
it
right
in
front
of
my
house
and
on
the
10th
fairway
I,
don't
know
how
anybody
could
do
that,
because
these
guys
are
teeing
off.
I
have
taken
a
couple
of
pictures.
Q
I've
got
about
a
hundred
golf
balls
of
anybody
would
like
to
have
it
that
I've
collected
in
the
one
year
that
I've
been
here,
but
every
house
along
there's
collected
that
there's
no
way,
I
think
that
we
could
divert
traffic
onto
that
street.
It's
not
wide
enough
to
accommodate
a
truck
and
a
car.
At
the
same
time
and
people
driving
down
there
would
be
meeting
the
terrible
slicers
who
can
bounce
golf
balls
off
of
my
house,
and
the
traffic
would
be
coming
right
at
that
team.
Q
They
would
have
to
build
a
series
of
nets
or
wires
along
the
matter
of
fact.
My
daughter
was
here
from
California
about
4
weeks
ago
and
we
were
taking
a
walk
and
she
got
hit
in
the
throat
by
a
golf
ball
coming
off
the
10th
tee
and
took
her
to
the
ground.
Had
it
been
about
three
inches
higher,
it
would
have
put
her
eye
out,
but
they're.
Just
there's
too
much
activity
along
there
to
put
a
divert
traffic
I,
don't
think
the
traffic
become
like
because
people
are
playing
golf
all
right.
I
B
S
Hi
Suzanne
Hardy
52,
Prelude,
Street
I'm,
a
member
of
the
Charleston
Area
Justice
Ministry,
for
those
who
you
who
are
new
Cajun
is
a
local
nonprofit
organization
composed
of
33
orchids
organizations
and
congregations.
We
envision
a
future
of
a
thriving
community
liberated
from
unjust
systems.
Last
year,
Cajun
called
for
a
regional
housing
trust
fund
to
address
one
of
those
unjust
systems:
the
lack
of
affordable
housing
from
extensive
research.
We
identified
the
need
for
30
million
dollars
a
year
to
be
split
among
Charleston
North,
Charleston,
Mount
Pleasant
in
the
county
at
the
2019
Nehemiah
action.
S
We
gain
commitments
from
for
Charleston,
County,
Charleston
council
persons
to
champion
the
trust
fund
with
council.
Thank
you.
We
also
got
the
same
commitments
from
members
of
the
three
other
councils.
Recently,
the
Bloomberg
Harvard
report
also
recommended
a
regional
housing
trust
fund
and
they
recommended
cage
M
as
a
key
strength
and
the
community
organization
to
work
with
to
further
that
initiative,
we
met
with
the
mayor
last
week
and
heard
his
own
commitment
to
the
report
and
the
trust
fund
itself.
The
mayor
also
committed
to
partner
with
cage
him
to
get
there.
S
These
are
all
positive
steps.
We
want
to
commend
Charleston
on
their
proven
commitment
to
affordable
housing,
as
witnessed
by
the
significant
work
today
and
also
the
commitment
to
the
regional
fund,
and
we
recognize
as
to
you,
the
tough
road
ahead.
It's
going
to
take
strong
and
visible
leadership
by
Charleston
to
bring
this
regional
appear
ative
alive,
not
just
in
providing
our
own
funding,
but
in
bringing
other
municipalities,
we
asked
you
to
take
up
that
mantle
and
leave
the
area
to
make
affordable
time
housing
available.
T
T
We
would
do
the
affordable
housing
for
our
workers
and
our
diverse
populations
that
the
community
needs
to
remain
one
of
the
country's
best
communities
for
Cajuns
part.
We
have
worked
and
are
currently
working
with
North
Charleston
and
the
county
to
get
their
buy-in
to
the
regional
trust
fund
as
well.
We
are
committed,
we
are
persistent,
as
you
know,
and
we
will
partner
with
you
to
do
whatever
is
needed.
We
invite
you
to
our
Nehemiah
action
on
March,
the
30th,
the
7:00
p.m.

like
to
commend
the
Public
Works
Committee
for
the
arduous
work
they
have
done
to
the
only
construction
noise
ordinance
under
Chairman

engaged
in
a
very
lengthy
and
thoughtful

we
at
the
foundation
are
encouraged
and
hopeful
that
it
will
produce
a
robust

that
balances
quiet
enjoyment
with
construction
activity,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
full
implementation
of

I'd
also
like
to
comment
on

Manual.
K
Htf
remains
committed
to
the
Dutch
dialogues.
The
updated
manual
puts
important
Dutch
dialogue,
recommendations
into
practice
and
is
a
critical
component
of
the
city's
game
plan
to
address
flooding
and
climate
change.
We
commend
Council
for
taking
the
important
step
to
engage
citizens
with
educational
workshops
across
the
city
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
the
city
on
additional
measures
to
prevent
Phil
from
being
used
as
a
means
to
meet
flood
standards,
curb
flooding
and
improve
resiliency.
K
We
were
very
frustrated
by
the
lack
of
understanding
of
the
new
ordinance
by
board
members,
the
very
least
a
workshop
to
educate
board
members
when
the
ordinance
is
required,
but
we
believe
it
will
be
wise
for
council
to
go
one
step
further
and
provide
additional
clarification
on
the
ordinance
on
the
definition
of

and
it

and
ability
to
develop

we
are
committed
to
working
with

implementation
of

U
Good
evening
my
name
is
Cyrus
Buffum
I
reside
at
a
Wesson
Avenue
in
Hampton,
Park
Terrace
and
as
the
opening
prayer
was
centered
around
service.
I
too
would
like
to
ensure
that
my
comments
are
seen
through
that
lens
of
service
I'm
here
to
vocalize
and
to
submit
to
the
record
my
opposition
to
the
proposed
filling
and
destruction
of
Gadsden
Creek
and
the
implications
of
that
action
on
the
Gadsden
green
community.
U
As
this
is
the
largest
fill
project
mandated
by
the
city
I'd
like
to
educate
all
of
those
here
on
council,
first
of
which
I'd
like
to
commend.
Councilman
saccharine,
councilman
sea
kings,
councilmen
woman
Jackson,
all
of
whom
I've
had
private
conversations
with
and
who
have
lent
their
their
support
of
opposition
to
this
proposed
activity.
Now
for
those
unaware
on
the
west
side
of
town,
there
are
four
acres
that
are
proposed
to
be
filled
and
destroyed
in
order
to
add
four
additional
acres
of
upland
entitled
property
for
the
west
edge
project
of
that
3.93.
U
Six
acres-
and
this
is
from
a
survey
submitted
to
DHEC
and
the
Army
Corps
dated
April,
2nd
2019.
The
city
of
Charleston
holds
title
to
64%
of
that
critical
zone.
That
means
we,
the
citizens
own
64%
of
the
creek,
the
wetlands,
all
of
that
critical
zone
proposed
to
be
filled
now.
Certainly
if
an
application
before
DHEC
is
acting
on
behalf
of
property
owners,
I
assign
the
residents
the
city
had
to
have
lent
its
support.
U
What
was
submitted
with
the
application
was
a
2015
letter,
arguably
from
Reilly's
administration
that
serves
both
the
city
of
Charleston,
expressly
authorizes
the
activities
described
in
the
permit
application
submitted
to
SC
DHEC
I
urge
you
on
council
to
educate
yourselves
on
the
nuances,
the
technical
mechanics
of
this
issue
and
to
urge
the
call
of
service.
This
is
not
an
issue
that
should
be
unilaterally
decided
by
private
interests.
Thank
you.
A
V
William
Hamilton,
yes,
sir
I
know
I
noticed
the
tonight.
The
low
line
presentations
gonna
be
brought
before
council.
I
would
like
to
remind
everyone
in
this
rooms
that,
after
years
of
struggle,
we
are
on
the
verge
of
creating
a
real
rapid
transit
system
for
the
low
country.
Nowhere
needs
that
more
than
the
city
of
Charleston
workers,
the
people
that
live
here
as
the
historic
city
slips
away
from
the
rest
of
the
region.
It
has
to
be
reconnected.
V
This
cannot
be
done
effectively
by
a
system
operating
and
regular
traffic
on
Meeting
Street,
a
system
where
there's
nowhere
for
stations
nowhere
to
connect
with
other
bus
routes,
a
street-
that's
already
very
congested.
It's
critical
that
the
Rapid
Transit
System
go
down
the
old
railroad
line
that
can
be
done
in
a
way
where
it
can
still
be
a
wonderful
linear
park.
This
is
done
all
over
the
world.
It
went
to
before
the
recreation
committee
today.
Their
job
isn't
making
sure
that
a
hundred
thousand
people
can
get
in
out
of
the
city.
V
W
You
mayor
Tek
Lindbergh,
my
name
is
David
Engel
I
live
at
309,
still
no
Drive
I'm
a
lifelong
resident
of
Charleston
and
I'm.
Here
about
the
diversion
of
traffic
off
a
main
highway
on
the
Gulf
you
drive.
How
does
a
huge
mistake?
I
know
it's
you're
gonna
be
making
a
recommendation.
I
think
tonight.
I
hope,
you'll
think
about
the
citizens
that
live
on
Gulf
View,
the
children,
the
pets,
the
people,
the
bike
riders.
They
use
that
little
Street,
it's
a
very
narrow
street.
W
It
is
a
bad
idea
to
divert
all
of
that
traffic
for
people
who
want
to
take
a
left
on
rippln
off
of
Maybank
I
know
it's
a
d-o-t
situation.
I
noticed
council.
If
you
excuse
me,
but
we
cannot
pass
the
buck
here.
We
need
a
recommendation
from
City
Council
that
that
is
not
going
to
happen.
We
need
a
green
turn
light
on
that
light.
We
can
do
it.
The
citizens
will
help
you
petition
talk
to
our
state
senators.
Whatever
we
got
to
do,
but
with
the
construction
is
going
on.
W
B
R
Chair,
thank
you
can
I
just
very
briefly,
because
I
know
these
are
all
add-ons
to
our
original,
signup
and
I.
Think
many
of
about
to
talk
about
the
same
thing
to
mr.
Engel
talked
about
and
I
just
got
forwarded
a
copy
of
a
letter
that
came
from
Senator
Sen,
but
we've
seen
that
she
has
asked
us
and
we'll
begin
to
support
out.
But
just
so
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
other
people
are
now
involved
in
this
and
I've
if
you've
not
seen
a
letter
from
senator
since
she's
asked
us
to
think
more
about
it.
X
Pam
Bingham
from
Golf
View
Drive.
We
have
a
front
seat
picture
of
what
is
about
to
happen
in
our
neighborhood
and
my
husband
and
I
are
both
lifelong
members
of
rippln
Terrace.
Both
grew
up
wait
to
Rivlin
Terrace
school
together
since
first
grade
we
have
a
history.
There
we
bought
our
home,
raise
our
children
and
now
our
grandchildren
there-
and
we
are
just
asking
for
y'all
just
to
not
vote
to
approve
this.
X
This
would
be
a
detriment
to
our
neighborhood,
our
friends,
our
neighbors,
the
children,
the
pets
and
all
who
love
Rivlin,
Terrace,
we're
not
trying
to
pass
the
buck
and
say
that
the
other
problem
is
not
a
problem.
We're
just
saying
that
you're
making
a
problem
in
our
neighborhood
when
you
should
be
fixing
a
problem.
Thank
you.
Ma'am.
Y
My
name
is
Gail
Freya
and
I
live
at
two
one.
Four,
six
golf
you
drive
I've
been
there
almost
20
years.
I
too
urge
you
to
not
pass
through
our
neighbourhood
with
heavy
traffic.
It
is
a
narrow
road.
It
can't
handle
two
cars
passing
it
at
once
and
when
it
has
been
diverted
on
Maybank,
it's
impossible
to
even
take
a
left
out
of
my
driveway
and
get
off
of
my
road.
Y
Not
only
that,
but
because
those
of
us
who
live
there
bought
these
homes
because
of
the
beauty
and
serenity
of
the
golf
course
and
also
golf,
you
is
where
all
of
Riverland
Terrace
goes
to
enjoy
and
walk
their
babies
and
jog
and
walk
their
dogs
to
enjoy
the
beautiful
Municipal
Golf
Course,
please
I
beg
you
save
our
beautiful
street.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.

Hi,
my
name
is
Jim
Morissette
I
live
at

walkthrough
drive
a
couple,
Street
overs
from
the
Gulf
view
and
I'm
here.
Just
to
echo
the
same
sentiments
but
I
will
also
say:
the
process
seems
to
be
could
be
tweaked
a
little
bit.
People
woke
up
this
morning
to
find
this
out,
I
mean,
and
we
have
a
large
constituency
here
also,
so
it
just
shows
how
adamant
people
are
about
not
having
input
they're,
not
asking
anything
more
than
to
have
input
on
what
happens
through
the
street
in
front
of
them.
AC
I
had
a
baby
five
weeks
ago,
and
when
we
bought
that
house
I
envisioned
my
son
growing
up
and
riding
bikes
with
his
friends
and
collecting
golf
balls
and
selling
them
for
a
quarter,
a
piece
you
know,
and
so
I
spent
the
mourner
flop
morning,
firing
with
another
mom
between
feedings
and
diapers
changed
and
naps,
trying
to
get
the
word
out
so
that
everybody
knew
that
this
was
happening.
I
don't
feel
like
this
is
a
holistic
problem
to
the
or
solution
to
this
problem.
AC
People
run
that
red
light
all
the
time,
I
weighed
3
to
5
seconds
before
I,
even
think
about
pulling
out,
and
it
also
doesn't
address
people
turning
left
from
John's
Island
on
to
Riverland.
You
know.
We
know
that
that
intersection
is
a
preventive
problem.
My
neighbors
deny
we
have
been
often
first
people
on
the
scene
for
those
fatal
accidents
we
have
witnessed
it.
I
have
witnessed
one
myself,
so
I
just
would
really
appreciate
an
alternative
solution.
Thank.

here
you

I
would
like
for
you
to
meet

have

meet
with

and
a

so
that
we
can

The
West,
the
West
Side
neighborhood
association,
folded
to
support
the
development
of
gas
in
Crete,
and
now
we
support
it
fully
because
I
always
ask
people
if
you
have
a
problem
with
something.
What
is
your
solution?
The
city?
Don't
have
the
money
to
render
this
farm
fix
this
problem.
If
those
people
who
want
to
preserve
the
creeks
time
come
with
the
money,
so
those
people
won't
have
any
problem
being
sought
out
their
home
every
year.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AF
Yeah
mr.
mayor
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
don't
saw
the
chimed
in
on
the
cats
and
Creek
story,
because
Ghats
and
Creek
is
in
in
my
district
as
recent
as
yesterday,
I
had
a
meeting
with
representative
Gilyard,
as
well
as
the
executive
director
of
the
west
edge,
and
our
discussion
was
guests
in
creepy
and
I
have
also
reached
out
to
the
leadership
saving
gaps
in
creeks,
so
I'm
in
communication
with
them
as
well.
AF
I
do
think
at
some
point,
mayor
and
council
that
this
body
may
need
to
go
into
executive
session
and
have
a
discussion
with
the
leadership
of
west
edge
with
regard
to
gas
and
greek.
But
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
folks
are
aware
that
we
are
aware
of
the
issues
and
and
the
young
man
that
just
spoke
I'd
like
to
get
his
name
so
I
can
include
him
in
any
discussions
that
I
might
have
with
Tameka,
because
I've
already
reached
out
to
her
as
well.
So
I
appreciate
your
comment.
AF
B
Right
so
that's
the
end
of
our
citizens
participation
period.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
and
sharing
with
us
and
I
think
we
are
listing
so
petitions
and
communications.
We
have
two
reappointments
to
the
housing
authority
of
city
of
Charleston,
miss
wig
fall
and
mr.
Partlow
do
I
hear
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
any
discussion,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
he
opposed
the
eyes.
AG
B
I
think
the
next
business
license
committee
is
going
to
take
up
this
matter.
It's
before
the
house
right
now,
so
we
we
felt
some
urgency.
I
was
at
a
meeting
last
week
of
the
Municipal
Association
and
given
that
they're
considering
that
presently
we
just
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
get
word
to
them.
But
there
are
some
some
some
matters
that
the
business
license
committee
does
need
to
take
up
and
regard
with
this.
B
If
I
may
just
one
more
minute
council
member
Dale
chapeau,
when
when
we
were
in
Colombia
last
week,
the
the
key
provision
that's
harmful
to
the
city
of
h44
31,
is
regarding
the
funding.
We
all
agree
at
the
Municipal
Association
that
some
standardization
of
timing
and
application
forms
and
information
amongst
all
the
cities
in
the
state
is
a
positive
thing
and
I
think
there
will
be
continued
to
be
an
effort
to
amend
for
4
3
1
in
that
regard.
B
But
if
they
change
the
funding
calculation
from
a
gross
which
we
use
gross
proceeds
to
a
business
as
opposed
to
net,
it
will
literally
cut
our
knees
off
below
our
selves
and
from
a
funding
point
of
view
to
the
tune
of
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
to
the
city
of
Charleston
that
we
would
not
otherwise
be
able
to
make
up.
And
so
that's
a
critical
part
that
we
oppose
councilmember,
Dale
schiappa.
AH
That
way
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
because
I
as
I
read
this,
it
seemed
as
though
it
was
you
know,
taking
away
this
major
revenue
source
for
us
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
cut
clarify
that
as
Nancy
said.
Specifically,
this
bill
will
not
take
a
dime
away
from
the
city.
The
city
can
set
the
tax,
the
state
does
not
set
the
tax,
it
simplifies
the
city's
job
right.
B
Well
that
there
are
those
standardizations
there's
a
lot
of
scrutiny
about
what
the
bill
says,
and
it
does
in
fact
impact
our
funding
as
written
now,
there's
already
House
and
Senate
members
who
are
proposing
to
amend
that
portion
of
the
bill,
and
so
maybe
she's
referring
to
an
amendment.
But
as
it's
originally
written,
it
would
change
the
calculation
from
using
gross
proceeds
that
a
business
receives
to
net
and
so
easily.
B
AH
AI
You
mr.
mayor
I
did
pay
attention
to
this,
as
it
came
through
the
Municipal
Association
this
that
their
annual
meeting
this
summer
and
then
I
went
to
the
regional
session
that
several
of
us
attended
in
the
early
fall,
and
this
is
a
big
deal.
It
not
not
only
on
its
face
for
the
reasons
that
you
have
recited
mayor
about
the
change
in
our
in
our
revenue
scope,
but
also
in
the
change
of
the
state.
Actually,
then
controlling
the
license
application
process
and
the
you
know
the
data
that's
collected
from
the
businesses.
AI
The
whole
goal
on
paper
is
to
make
it
uniform
and
the
Municipal
Association
has
been
working
their
brains
out
to
develop
a
way
to
over
over
arch
the
municipalities
that
would
use
the
same
application
system.
They've
developed
software
that
we
can
all
take
advantage
of
we're
in
a
different
spot,
and
it
originally
because
the
city
had
taken
upon
ourselves
to
make
our
licensing
process
much
more
state-of-the-art
friendly
for
our
purposes,
to
catalog
and
and
require
people.
AI
AI
AA
Councilmember
or
pill
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I
am
very
much
in
favor
of
this
resolution.
I
think
this
is
a
massive
overreach
by
the
state
South
Carolina.
It's
an
assault
on
Home,
Rule
and
I'll.
Just
point
out
for
our
fellow
everybody
in
the
room
business
license
revenue
is
our
number
two
revenue
source
for
this
entire
city
after
property
taxes.
Okay,
so,
roughly
speaking,
our
property
taxes
go
to
fund
law
enforcement.
AA
Everything
else
essentially
runs
through
business
license
taxes,
so
we're
talking
about
here,
you
know,
speaks
directly
to
what
we
do,
what
we're
trying
to
do
on
an
everyday
basis
and
when
we're
talking
about
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
about
transportation,
about
flooding
about
all
these
different
things
that
we're
trying
to
address
in
the
coming
years.
It's
all
the
more
important
that
we
have
the
power
to
solve.
Charleston's
problems
here
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina
stay
out
of
the
way
so.
B
And
these
issues
that
council
member
Jackson
mentioned
councilman
Griffin
are
those
very
issues
that
I
would
like
for
our
business
license
committee
to
take
up
as
far
as
the
recommendations
for
Standardization
and
forms
and
all
like
that-
and
maybe
the
wording
of
this
is
a
is
a
little.
You
know
where
it
says.
If
the
business
license
tax
is
eliminated,
is
not
exactly
correct,
because
they're
not
they're,
not
h4,
431
doesn't
in
fact
proposed
to
eliminate
attacks,
but
it
changes
it.
R
B
AI
You
Mary
would
we
have
the
opportunity
then,
to
resolve
to
send
whatever
changes
to
a
resolution
that
that
the
license
committee
would
like
to
put
forward
without
having
to
come
back
to
Council
I'm
worried
about
the
timing
of
FSI
instead
of
something
they
would
be.
They
could
get
to
the
floor
quickly.
Well,.
B
A
few
of
our
friends
in
the
Senate
have,
since
the
other
day
last
week,
committed
to
me
that
they'll
keep
a
lid
on
this,
so
some
further
amendments
can
occur
so
as
long
as
the
business
license
committee
can
get
together
before
our
next
meeting.
I
think
we'll
be
okay.
I
do
council,
member
Gregory,
okay,.
A
B
AF
B
AI
AI
We
had
that
council
communication
discussion
based
on
our
small
cell
5g
ordinance
actually
before
my
new
colleagues
were
seated
in
January
and
I
know
that
at
that
point
we
said
we
asked
mr.
Adina
to
be
researching,
suggested
changes
that
our
citizens
were
asking
of
us
in
addition
to
some
of
the
things
that
she
wanted
to
to
recommend
to
us
to
amend
our
existing
5g,
ordinance
and
I
know
she's
been
hard
at
work
on
that.
AI
In
the
meantime,
there
has
been
another
pre-emptive
type
bill
at
the
state
legislature
that
has
being
rapidly
moved
through
to
again
it
restricted
the
local
governments
opportunity
to
regulate
anything
about
5g
installations.
So
I'd
like
I'd
like
you
to
call
on
mr.
Dina,
so
we
can
just
get
her
update
and
I
think
she
has
a
recommendation
for
us
to
take
forward
at
the
next
meeting.
So
can
we
just
do
that
as
continuing
item
communications?
Well,.
B
Let
me
let
me
say
this:
I
was
gonna,
ask
for
two
committee
reports
that
aren't
official
council
committees,
but
City
committees.
One
is
health
and
wellness
at
which
this
matter
was
discussed
and
the
Sardinia
was
there.
I
was
going
to
ask
mr.
seeking
to
chaired
the
meeting
just
the
other
day,
to
give
us
a
brief
report
and
as
part
of
that
Ms
for
Dina
wants
to
chime
in
it.
I
think
that'd
be
appropriate.
R
Thank
you
mayor
fellow
councilmembers.
The
health
and
wellness
committee
did
meet
Wednesday
February
5th
2020,
for
those
of
you
may
recall
this
as
a
committee
that
we
put
together
now
couple
three
years
ago,
the
mayor
of
suggestion.
It
is
a
very
well
attended
committee.
It's
made
up
of
a
number
of
people
in
the
community
who,
literally
just
flat-out,
show
up
and
are
really
interested
in.
What's
going
on,
it
is
chaired
by
Anton
Gandhi.
R
R
We
talked
about
all
the
updates
from
D
hack
in
terms
of
the
corona
virus
and
the
mumps
I
mean
a
lot
of
information
came
along
and
at
the
recommendation
of
the
mayor
and
this
council
we
also
took
up
the
5g
Wireless
radiation
awareness
and
matters
that
we
could
address
and
that
we
could
not
address.
Then
mister
Deena
was
there
and
I
know
she's
here.
So
I
just
want
to
get
her
back
up
on
this,
but
we
did
take
advice
from
mr.
R
Deena
before
we
began
our
conversation
in
the
committee
about
the
powers
that
the
city
have
has
or
don't
doesn't
have
to
address
the
installation
and
the
operation
of
five
G
cell
towers
within
the
bounds
of
the
city
of
Charleston,
and
for
those
of
you
both
on
this
council
and
in
these
chambers.
If
you
haven't
seen
one
of
these
towers,
you
ought
to
go,
take
a
look
they're
very
large,
they're,
intrusive
and
if
you
believe
everything
you
read
which
I
don't
but
I
think
this
is
fairly
accurate.
They
are
going
to
be
scattered.
Very
close.
R
It's
not
even
the
right
word
they're
going
to
be
populated
in
close
proximity
to
each
other,
so
they're
going
to
be
everywhere
and
currently
and
mr.
Deena
would
jump
in
as
soon
as
I
say
something
it's
not
right,
but
to
boil
down
the
about
five
or
six
minutes
she
gave
us,
which
is
a
comprehensive
view
on
the
law.
R
We
essentially
in
the
city
of
Charleston,
do
not
have
any
power
to
regulate
this,
even
though
we're
one
of
the
most
important
historic
city,
and
we
have
incredible
number
of
regulations
that
we
talked
about
all
the
time
in
these
chambers
over
what
happens
on
in
and
around
the
properties
in
the
city
of
Charleston.
For
some
reason,
this
one
just
completely
escapes
us.
We
have
nothing
to
say
about
it
and
those
towers
are
going
up
quickly.
So
the
Health
and
Wellness
Advisory,
Committee
sort
of
took
the
lead
for
mr.
R
Deena
and
unanimously
was
supportive
of
anything
that
this
council
can
do
to
encourage
Home
Rule
on
this
and
to
get
out
there
and
be
able
to
have
a
conversation
with
our
state
legislators
at
the
federal
level
and
really
goes
to
comes
back
to
the
FCC
they've
sort
of
put
the
kibosh
on
us.
We
don't
have
legal
tools
at
our
disposal,
but
we
certainly
have
tools
of
persuasion
and
advocacy
at
our
disposal.
So
what
I
will
tell
you,
as
the
committee
is
going
to
look
to
this
council
and
to
mr.
R
Deena
and
her
staff
to
put
together
as
strong,
awarded
and
stated
resolution
principally
look
at
I
mean
there's
lots
of
things
about
these
towers.
If
you
go,
look
at
them,
they're
really
horrible,
but
principally
we
were
interested
in
what
the
health
implications
are
of
what
goes
on
those
towers
and
so
with
scientific
research,
with
the
good
work
of
our
legal
counsel.
What
we've
asked
is
to
for
them
and
mr.
Deena
and
her
team
to
put
together
a
resolution
to
both
be
considered
by
the
committee
and
this
council
to
move
forward
and
am
I
missing
anything.
AJ
Thank
you.
It
comes
remember
that
sums
it
up
very
well,
there's
really
two
issues
that
are
ruminating
right
now.
One
is
the
health
issue
that
constituents
have
brought
forward
and
their
the
issue
as
to
what
extent,
if
any
radiofrequency
from
the
small
cell
towers
are
impacting
health
and
the
answer
there
is
that
there's
science
on
both
sides
of
the
issue.
Some
say
there
are
potential
health
effects,
others
scientists
say
they're
not,
but
as
council
members
seeking
said,
this
issue
is
out
of
our
hands.
AJ
We
should
also
encourage
our
state
representatives
to
do
this,
but
frankly
they
don't.
They
don't
have
much
authority
if
any
in
this
area
either
it
has
been
totally
preempted
by
the
federal
government,
and
so
we
need
to
turn
to
our
federal
legislators
and
ask
for
help
there.
The
other
issue-
that's
ruminating,
that
comes
remember,
Jackson
referred
to
a
short
while
ago.
Is
it's
House
bill?
AJ
Forty
to
sixty
two
and
and
this
is
it's
called
the
small
SC
small
wireless
facilities,
deployment
Act
and
it
attempts
to
severely
restrict
our
authority
to
control
our
rights-of-ways
with
respect
to
the
installation
and
the
design
in
the
aesthetics
of
small
cell
wireless
facilities,
and
what's
interesting
is
some
of
you
probably
know
is
this
bill
was
introduced
in
the
house
last
March.
It
was
passed
out
of
the
house
in
less
than
a
month
and
it
is
then
it
was
referred
to
the
Senate
in
March
of
2019.
AJ
AJ
How
much
we
can
charge
for
the
installation
on
public
rights-of-way
is
taken
out
of
our
hands,
and
so
we
in
that
respect
are-
and
this
is
this
bill-
is
moving
along
fast
in
the
Senate,
and
so
we
are
recommending
that
our
state
legislators
here
appreciate
the
uniqueness
of
the
city
and
its
historic
issues
and
in
other
areas,
and
that
we
slow
down
and
take
a
look
at
this
bill
and
not
pass
it
that
quickly.
We
have
an
ordinance
in
effect,
as
some
of
you
know
who
are
here,
we
passed
an
ordinance
a
couple
years
ago.
AJ
AK
AJ
AI
R
AI
I
think
ours,
my
senator
son,
represents
a
lot
of
us,
is
trying
her
best
to
slow
it
down
and
I,
don't
know
if
she
has
a
lot
of
support
from
the
Charleston
County
delegation.
But
again
this
is
one
more
example
of
how
our
our
local
authority
is
being
taken
away
from
our
site.
It
would
undo
the
ordinance
that
we've
had
on
our
books
for
18
months,
correct
it's.
It's.
AJ
Z
Miami
Shade
Thank
You
mr.
mayor,
so
when
we
pass
these
resolutions,
we
sent
them
off
to
our
local
delegation,
I
mean:
do
they
get
these
resolutions
and
do
we
send
it
off
with
a
cover
letter?
Well
from
you
that
what
happens
with
these
resolutions
had
to
be
passed,
we
pass
a
resolution
to
support
the
ER.
A
beam
pass
did
that
go
off
to
our
local
dela.
So
what
follow-up
do
we
have?
With?
With
this
sort
of
stuff
I
mean
we?
Z
You
passed
the
resolution
about
the
hate
crime
bill
to
Guinea
pass,
but
unless
we
have
that's
a
follow
up
with
a
hate
crime
bill
and
talking
some
other
folks
about
what
we
need
to
do
to
get
it
get
it
moving,
but
it
seems
like
unless
we
take
an
active
role
with
us
and
I
know:
we've
got
lobbyists
that
we
have
that
we
that
we've
worked
with.
That
would
unless
we
take
an
active
role
on
this,
we
pass
a
resolution
and
we
go
on
to
our
next
point
of
business
and
we
see
the
erosion.
Z
This
is
an
ongoing
process
with
the
erosion
of
local
home
rule,
so
our
local
legislators
and
I
know
I.
Think
many
of
us
around
this
table
have
a
good
connection
with
our
local
legislators.
If
they're
not
aware
of
this,
if
they're
not
aware
of,
what's
going
on
and
if
they're
getting
misinformation
about
what
is
taking
place
with
some
of
these
other
rules,
then
this
isn't
effective
and
they
can
come
back
to
us
and
say
well.
Why
don't
you
tell
me
why
didn't
realize
what
was
going
on?
Z
It's
not
accounting
health
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
on
a
regular
basis
unless
we
take
a
more
proactive
role
on
doing
something.
With
this,
that's
nice,
we
passed
a
resolution,
but
we've
got
to
do
more.
I
mean
I'm,
not
sure
what
the
answer
to
that
is,
but
we've
seen
that
we
need
to
either
collectively
do
something
with
contacting
our
local
legislators.
Writing
them
letters
or
even
caravanning
out
there
and
working
with
North,
Charleston,
Mount,
Pleasant
and
other
communities
who
this
impacts.
Z
All
of
us
and
I
just
don't
think
that
our
local
legislators,
I
just
texted
the
one
local
legislator.
Do
you
know
about
this
bill
doesn't
have
no
idea
about
it.
Well,
I
think
that's
just
sort
of
telling
of
what
is
happening
with
this
thing.
So
we've
we've
gotten
to
take
the
next
step
forward
on
this
I'm,
just
not
sure
how
to
do
that
and
how
we
go
about.
Taking
that
next
step,
we
got
to
do
something
else.
Besides
personal
resolution
count.
AL
Councilman
she
adjusts
it
extend
ourselves
to
our
relationships.
All
of
us
have
collective
relationships
with
our
delegation
that,
quite
frankly,
always
the
Congress
and
the
Senate
the
passed
resolution
you
just
living
feeling
sheet
of
people
without
action.
That's
part
of
the
action
steps
are
doing
that
so
sorry,
I
think
you're
on
the
right
path.
Yeah
councilman,
by
reaching
out
the
fan-in,
extend
an
hour,
our
tentacles
and
maybe
bringing
up
some
of
the
other
people's
up
to
speed.
AL
B
Absolutely
I
mean
we
can
pass
a
resolution,
we
send
it
to
them
by
email
and
in
the
mail,
but
there's
nothing
like
that.
One-On-One
conversation,
you
represent
a
certain
number
of
constituents
that
are
also
constituents
of
our
House
and
Senate
members
and
directly
communicating
in
their
face
on
the
phone.
However,
you
can
track
them
down.
It's
the
most
effective
I
mean
it's
a
busy
time
of
year.
For
them,
are
they
paying
attention
to
each
and
every
email
they
get
a
personal
contact
and
conversation
is
best
nope,
no
question
about
it.
B
Okay,
so
so
we'll
come
back
next
meeting
with
some
resolutions
from
the
business
license
committee
after
they
meet
and
just
from
our
legal
staff
on
this
matter
of
the
small
cells
any
further
just
that
concludes
the
report,
and
no
action
is
needed,
we're
just
receiving
that
for
information.
So
next,
we'll
move
on
to
our
more
formal
council
committee
reports.
First
up
is
community
development
and
council
member
Mitchell.
B
B
Correct
this
II
was
just
a
matter
of
conversation
in
a
dark
theme
staff
to
proceed
with
work
on
a
proposed
accessory
dwelling
ordinate.
But
but
madam
clerk
is
correct
by
voting
to
accept
the
report
of
the
committee,
we
would
be
approving
the
the
resolution
and
grant
agreement
with
the
CRC
which
actually
passed
at
ways
and
means
earlier
also
additional
funding
for
the
Humanities
Foundation
and
a
project
they're
working
on
to
rehab,
Archer
school
and
then
a
commitment
to
help
Reeve
enters,
but
first
before
adding
any
additional
funding.
B
AF
AF
It's
very
comprehensive.
It's
almost
like
a
one-stop
shop.
Anything
you
want
to
know
an
affordable
housing,
so
I
really
want
to
commend
everyone
that
worked
on
that
document.
It's
a
it's!
It's
a
great
job,
being
an
old
housing
person.
That's
a
really
good
piece
of
work.
Thank
you
and
the
young
lady
that
worked
on
it
with
us.
I
hope
we
can
convince
her
somehow
to
stay,
because
that's
a
really,
really
great
piece
of
work
that
was
done
and
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
here
not.
B
Natasha
Nicks
is
her
name
and
I
will
share
with
the
rest
of
Council
and
the
public
to
give
credit
where
credit
is
due.
This
is
not
any
kind
of
endorsement,
but
she
was
made
available
to
the
city
of
Charleston
her
services
in
time,
through
a
grant
from
the
Bloomberg
philanthropies
and
they've
been
helping
us
in
a
number
of
ways.
So
thank
you
to
Mayor
Bloomberg
for
for
his
assistance
on
this
counts.
Remember
we're
Thank.
AL
You,
mr.
mayor,
it
was
a
great
report.
I
am
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
of.
That,
though,
was
a
piece
that
I
think
our
planning
department
is
supposed
to
bring
to
us
next
at
the
next
meeting
on
creating
smaller
Lots
one
of
the
issues.
Listen,
you
guys
are
missing
up
by
not
being
on
community
development,
very,
very
good
committee.
AL
One
of
the
things
that
brought
up
is,
you
know
we
have
this
accessory
dwelling
unit
position
back
here.
What
is
that,
besides?
Creating
a
small,
a
lot?
Okay?
Well,
we
had
years
ago
decades
ago,
centuries
ago,
Freedman
cottages
created
and
a
little
smaller
Lots
a
part
of
success
of
the
peninsula.
Today,
if
you
tried
to
create
a
freedman
lot,
which
many
of
them
were
30
35
feet,
certainly
less
than
40
feet,
wise
man.
Thank
my
colleague
right
here
owns
a
house.
That's
on
the
lot.
AL
That's
35
feet,
wide
I've,
looked
it
up,
okay,
but
that
big
old
house
a
long
time
ago.
They
had
a
vision
long
time
ago
that
we
enjoy
today,
but
someplace
in
planning
across
the
country
said
that
the
minimum
lot
size-
and
this
happened
as
I
understood
back
in
the
70s-
has
to
be
at
least
50
feet.
Well,
I,
don't
know
about
across
America.
AL
Charleston
is
a
quintessential
example
it
you
can
do
better
than
that
and
thrive
well
as
we
revitalized
West,
Ashley,
James,
Island,
John's,
Island
and
certainly
cane
high
whatever
we
need
that
in
the
toolbox
and
I'll
plant,
an
apartment
has
put
a
lot
of
work
in
creating
a
small
lot
ordinance
that
has
been
on
the
back
burner
and
deferred
and
mr.
Lindsey
and
we're
gonna
be
able
to
hear
from
you
in
two
weeks.
AL
Thank
you
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
the
that
we
work
a
lot
on
and
couldn't
make
the
numbers
work.
She
succeeded
here
quietly,
but
the
fine
executive,
lady
from
the
Humanities
Foundation,
is
putting
together
a
transaction.
That's
gonna
renovate,
hopefully
Archer
school
into
affordable
housing.
She
hadn't
said
one
word,
but
I'm
gonna
tell
you
yeoman
work.
The
mayor
got
with
Deputy
Secretary
of
Transportation
is
that
was
gonna.
AL
Go
to
our
streets
and
sidewalks
potentially
is
now
going
to
go
toward
helping
to
assist
with
affordable
housing
in
perpetuity,
hopefully
in
a
long
period
of
time,
not
perpetuity
but
long
period.
Working.
A
lot
of
hard
work
in
that
committee.
That's
gonna
make
a
difference,
and
people
came
in
citizen
participation
today
and
exemplified
the
city
of
Charleston
for
its
lead
in
creating
affordable
housing
in
this
region,
and
we
do
lead
in
that
and
some
of
the
techniques
that
we're
doing
can
be
duplicated
by
other
municipalities,
so
continue
to
lead.
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
yeah,.
B
AL
C
Some
of
the
people
need
to
do
is
come
to
our
new
development
meeting
to
see
what
we
are
doing.
It's
a
lot
of
things
we
are
doing
this
with
a
lot
of
information
is
being
given
out
and
dealing
with
housing
in
the
community
development.
We're
doing
a
lot
there
and
it's
a
lot
of
things
happen
to
come
in
through
Community
Development
I
just
made
the
voices,
so
we
couldn't
go
on.
That
would
be
cool
point
by
point
but
anyways,
you
know,
but
ain't
any.
AK
Wanted
to
say,
as
a
new
member
to
council
the
plan
that
we
had
presented
last
week
of
the
week
prior
all
kind
of
blurring
was
a
perfect
plan.
It
just
helps
clean
a
picture,
an
overview
of
what
housing
challenges
we
have
in
Charleston,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thanks
to
to
the
team,
to
Gianna,
for
forgetting
that
together,
it
really
helps
me
understand
it
and
to
councilman
Gregory's
point:
it's
it's
an
overview
and
it's
kind
of
a
one-stop
shops
and
it
really
helped
me
from
a
technical
standpoint,
understanding
our
challenges.
So
thank.
B
You
okay,
so
in
case
there
was
any
question
about
accepting
the
committee
report,
which
includes
approving
those
items
all
in
favor,
please
say
hi
hi
and
he
opposed
the
odds.
Have
it
and
and
finally,
as
a
comment
I
I
mentioned,
the
Humanities
Foundation
would
like
to
recognize
Tracy
Doran,
who
is
here
with
us
this
evening
with
the
Humanities
Foundation
and,
and
maybe
bravery
is
a
good
word
to
take
on
the
conversion
and
renovation
of
Archer
school
to
be
an
affordable
housing
block
of
affordable
housing
in
our
city.
I
think.
B
Z
R
You
mr.
mayor,
the
committee
on
traffic
and
transportation
met
yesterday
promptly
at
3
o'clock
and
since
that
time,
I've
received
3526
emails
and
I'm
sure
my
fellow
colleagues
have
too
and
we'll
get
to
that
in
a
second.
So
as
as
an
appetizer
for
the
main
course
of
our
meeting,
we
got
a
report
from
Charleston
County
on
the
CTC
and
TST
projects
and
resurfacing
for
those
who
don't
know
what
CTC
is,
and
it's
no
reason
why
you
should
acronyms
are
no
good.
R
That's
gas
tax
money,
the
amount
of
money
that
actually
finally
makes
it
back
to
the
county
by
the
way
on
gas
tax
right
now
and
the
new
formulation
there's
a
smaller
number
than
I
thought.
I
want
to
ask
that
question.
It's
only
about
9
million
dollars,
it's
not
a
huge
amount,
but
it's
something
right.
The
TST
projects
are
the
half
cent
sales
tax
projects,
both
on
the
original
half
cent
sales
tax
and
the
new
half
cent
sales
tax.
R
As
you
probably
know,
the
the
recently
enacted
half
cent
sales
tax
is
a
pay,
go
as
opposed
to
a
fund
that
we
have
bonded
against.
So
the
projects
are
slowly
but
surely
coming
in
the
pipeline.
There
are
a
number
of
projects
that
are
in
or
partially
in
the
city
of
Charleston,
under
both
of
those
programs,
and
it
was
observed
yesterday,
I
believe
it
was
by
the
mayor,
Taylor
green
from
the
county
who
came
and
gave
us.
R
The
presentation
gave
by
far
the
most
comprehensive,
lucid,
understandable
presentation
on
what's
going
on
in
this
county
in
terms
of
the
expenditures
of
monies
through
these
two
programs
and
the
sea
tax
money,
it
was
terrific,
we
I
got
a
copy
of
it
this
afternoon.
I
know
mr.
Benjamin.
Has
it
I'm
gonna
ask
him
to
send
it
to
each
one
of
you.
I
would
never
normally
do
that
to
load
up
your
inboxes,
but
it's
a
PowerPoint
of
about
20
slides.
R
It
shows
and
very
logical
and
chronological
order,
the
projects
that
are
out
there
and
there
are
a
number
of
them.
Some
of
them
are
actually
projects.
Some
of
them
are
studies
that
sort
of
the
bigger,
more
comprehensive
is
on
John's
Island,
Maine
Road
corridor
folly,
Road
corridor
they're.
Looking
and
they're
doing
some
projects.
I've
got
a
whole
list
here,
but
there
are
a
number
of
them
and
a
good
amount
of
money
meeting
expended.
R
So
I
would
just
recommend
that
you
get
a
hold
of
this
and
see
how
York
and
our
constituents
tax
dollars
are
being
expended.
There's
a
good
bit
going
on
one
of
the
ones
that
caught
my
eye
is
the
northern
pitchfork,
which
is
about
to
go
to
convert
to
go
out
for
a
bit
and
a
contract.
So
that's
coming
to
a
John's
Island
near
you.
There
was
not
mentioned
by
the
way
the
southern
pitchfork
which
will
need
to
follow
up
on
so
that
took
up
a
good
bit
of
our
time.
It
was
fascinating.
R
I
would
totally
just
recommend
you
all
get
a
hold
that
presentation
and
see
the
projects
and
the
studies
that
are
out
there,
because
there's
a
lot
of
them.
One
of
the
things
that
did
come
up
by
the
way
and
I
don't
want
to
take
too
much
time
is,
as
these
new
projects
come
or
these
widening
projects
like,
for
instance,
Glenn,
McConnell
bike,
ped
facilities
and
alternate
facilities
for
getting
around
are
being
incorporated
in
all
those
projects,
which
is
very
good
thing
and
monies
are
being
expended
for
that.
So
that
was
the
appetizer.
R
Then
we
got
to
the
main
course.
We
had
a
presentation
and
a
series
of
recommendations
on
the
intersection
at
Maybank
and
Rivlin.
It's
not
the
first
time
we've
taken
this
up.
It
was
presented
to
us
by
our
outside
engineering
advisors
mr.
day
and
I
did
not
ask
them
to
come
and
recreate
that
tonight
had
I
known
we
were
going
to
have
as
many
people
send
emails
might
have
done
that,
but
that's
okay.
R
There
were
a
series
of
recommendations
for
that
intersection,
which
is
a
effectively
non-functioning
intersection,
whether
you
come
at
it
from
the
north,
the
South,
the
east
or
the
west.
There
are
problems
at
that
intersection.
Probably
the
the
worst
problems
are
coming
from
the
east
to
the
west,
trying
to
make
a
left
turn
off
of
Maybank
highway
to
get
on
the
Riverland.
That
is
problematic.
There's
been
a
number
of
incidents
there.
R
Those
who
came
tonight
to
speak
they
can
unsure
attest
to
all
of
those
things,
but
coming
off
of
Ritalin
getting
to
Maybank
Highway
is
slow,
coming
out
of
Rivlin
Terrace
uneme
Bank,
all
those
things
our
problems
and
our
county
and
your
state
legislators
are
acutely
aware
of
that.
The
issue
is,
it's
been
left
back
to
us
to
resolve
it
without
all
the
tools
probably
necessary
and
our
toolkit
to
do
it
because
I
think
if
you
asked
everybody
yesterday
around
that
table
and
I'll,
let
them
speak
for
themselves.
R
We
would
have
looked
at
that
problem
and
said
short
term.
There's
a
super,
easy
solution,
put
a
left
turn
light
right
there
coming
down
Maybank
highway
to
get
on
and
do
a
Rivlin
I
mean
super
easy
solution.
Well
great,
but
we
have
some
people
that
look
over
our
shoulders.
That
don't
think
that's
such
a
great
idea,
that
would
be
the
county
and
that
would
be
the
state.
So
anyway,
we
took
a
recommendation.
R
Yesterday
there
were
five
options
that
were
presented
to
us
and
we
voted
unanimously
by
the
way
on
a
hybrid
recommendation,
which
was
to
put
no
left
turn
signs
on
Maybank
Highway
as
you're
coming
west
to
the
south
and
as
you're
coming
east
to
the
north,
no
left
turn
signs
which
I
live
in
an
area
where
there's
lots
of
no
left
turn
signs
and
I
can
tell
you
well
anyway.
So
the
combination
of
no
left
turns
lines
and
then
an
alternate
route
to
avoid
the
left.
R
Turn
off
of
Maybank
to
get
under
Riverland
was
discussed,
and
we
voted
in
favor
of
the
recommendation
that
we
divert
traffic
off
of
maybank
highway
to
loop
back
around,
come
on
to
Rivlin
and
go
across,
and
I
know
you
all
are
shaking
your
heads
because
we
got
your
3526
emails.
So
the
good
news
is
because
we've
now
had
24
hours
to
digest
our
main
course
and
me,
as
the
chairman
I,
get
to
speak
for
us
all
that
others
I've
heard
your
voices
and
I.
R
Think
after
going
back
and
looking
at
that,
we
can
do
better
and
we
should
do
better
and
I
know
that
not
all
of
you
and
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you'd
raise
your
hands
live
in
the
city.
Some
of
you
live
in
the
county,
but
that's
no
excuse.
We
should
be
good
stewards
and
good
neighbors
and
make
sure
that
we
take
care
of
everybody
in
that
area,
and
it
does
seem
to
me-
and
this
is
now
this
me
talking
not
as
a
chairman
but
as
a
member
who's
gonna
get
a
vote.
R
Although
I
voted
yesterday
for
this
recommendation,
I
think
we
should
really
thank
this
through
mr.
mayor,
we
did
vote
on
it
unanimously
and
I'm
gonna.
Ask
someone
to
at
some
point
make
a
motion
to
defer
this.
Since
yesterday
we
got
here
four
thousand
three
thousand
five
hundred
twenty
six
emails
senators
and
has
weighed
in
within
a
two-page
letter
asking
to
take
a
deep
breath
and
think
about
this
I
think
we
have
a
responsibility
to
meet
with
the
d-o-t
in
our
regional
office
to
talk
again
about
some
other
short-term
options.
R
By
the
way,
a
left
turn
signal
is
not
a
long-term
fix.
It's
short-term,
probably
better,
there's
probably
some
other
things
we
can
do
so,
although
we
voted
unanimously
yesterday
to
put
this
forward
as
a
recommendation
of
a
combination
of
no
left
turn
signs
on
Maybank
highway
and
the
diversion
coming
from
downtown
towards
Johns
Island
around
and
through
I,
for
one
think
that
we
should
probably
rethink
this
and
put
this
to
a
longer
conversation.
Mr.
R
mayor
and
there's
any
member
of
this
committee
who
would
move
for
a
deferral,
I
would
appreciate
it
if
not
I'm
gonna
vote
against
this
resolution.
So
don't
move.
Okay,
gotta
have
a
second,
so
so
with
that-
and
this
is
the
only
activity
that
we
took
up
yesterday.
That
needs
a
vote.
Mr.
mayor,
can
we
call
that
question
and
then
I've
got
one
more
thing,
really
briefly,
that
we
defer
this,
that
we
go
back
to
the
drawing
board.
We
put
all
options
on
the
table.
R
We
include
everybody,
including
elected
officials,
and-
and
we
engage
with
the
neighborhood
I
mean
that
is
I
mean
I'd
rather
y'all
we
sit
around
in
room,
then
you
have
to
come
figure
out
to
sign
up
and
get
up
there
and
talk
and
all
those
things
I
think
we
need
to
all
the
things.
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
your
councilmembers
there
and
I'm
sure
he's
gonna
make
some
comments
about
this,
but
that
is
the
one
thing
that
needs
a
vote
and
I.
R
B
AA
I
hear
the
neighbor
I
was
taken
by
surprise
by
this
as
well.
I've
learned
more
about
traffic
signaling
over
the
last
12
hours
than
I
think
I
have
over
the
last.
You
know.
Thirty
five
years
of
my
life
I
appreciate
this.
This
walk
back
from
what
I
believe
was
rap,
perhaps
a
well-intentioned
decision,
but
that
of
course
has
unintended
consequences.
I
represent.
You
know
that
the
handful
of
homes,
sort
of
American.
AA
In
the
city,
but
this
is
obviously
a
very
important
issue-
that's
impacted
everybody,
and
if
my
inbox
is
any
indication
of
how
strongly
it
feels
about
it,
I
think
it's
a
very
good
decision
that
we've
made
tonight
and
and
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
the
phone
today
with
Keith
Benjamin,
also
with
senator
Sen
she's.
On
top
of
this
we're
gonna
re-engage
on
this
issue.
AA
We're
gonna
do
what
we
can
to
get
d-o-t
to
come
up
with
what
sure
seems
to
be
a
common-sense
solution
again
here
we
are
trying
to
do
something
very
simple
for
a
need:
that's
very
unique
to
the
city
of
Charleston,
and
what
do
we
have?
We
have
bureaucrats
in
Columbia
telling
us
what
to
do
about
a
traffic
signal
on
a
road
I
mean
it's
unbelievable.
AA
What
we
have
to
deal
with
and
the
challenges
that
were
under
whether
it's
business
licenses,
whether
its
cell
towers,
whether
it's
a
traffic
light,
whether
it's
god
forbid
a
you-
know,
a
bike
path
somewhere,
so
we're
Bob.
That's
the
system,
we're
living
in
we've
got
good
representation
and
our
legislative
delegation
we're
gonna,
engage
with
them.
A
lot
of
them
are
up
for
re-election
again.
This
is
all
yep
y'all
y'all
vote
for
them.
It
looks
like
you
vote
for
us,
so
we're
gonna
make
sure
that
these
voices
are
heard
clear.
AG
Appreciate
a
council
member
at
bells
polish,
unfortunately
I
don't
have
that
I'm
gonna
be
a
little
more
bit
more
blunt
number
one.
He
talks
about
a
common
sense.
I,
don't
understand
how
anybody
voted
to
prove
this
project,
the
way
that
it
is
common
sense,
wise,
I'm,
sorry,
I'm,
not
on
this
committee.
I
can't
speak
for
you.
I
hope
that
y'all
can
share
your
sentiments
on
that.
But
to
me
this
was
the
worst
of
all
the
ideas
number
one.
We're
gonna
divert
traffic
off
of
maybank.
Now
let
me
take
a
step
back
for
a
second.
AG
AG
Unfortunately,
we
were
put
in
a
tough
situation
where
certain
people
felt
our
hands
were
tied,
and
you
know
some
sort
of
agreement
was
made
here
that
the
city's
gonna
take
the
responsibility
and
come
up
with
this
idea.
How
did
this
happen?
Well,
we
have
a
Department
of
Transportation
that
doesn't
have
any
respect
for
us.
None
I
hear
it
all
the
time
from
our
representation
at
Columbia,
specifically
senators
in
who
talks
all
the
time
about
this
great
relationship.
She
has
with
the
d-o-t
and
I
agree
that
she
has
that.
AG
But
this
is
the
time
where
she
needs
to
be
writing
a
letter.
Instead
of
asking
us
to
defer
this,
she
needs
to
be
writing
a
letter
to
the
d-o-t
saying
to
get
it
done.
We
need
to
as
a
collective
March
up
at
Columbia
with
our
citizens
and
make
them
understand
how
angry
we
are
about
this.
It's
not
just
happening
on
James
Island,
it's
happening
all
over
our
city.
It's
happening
in
West,
actually
along
be
spirit,
road
and
highway
61.
AG
We
cannot
get
the
d-o-t
to
work
with
us
now,
I
get
it
they
might
help
out
on
some
downtown
projects
and
God
forbid.
We
anger
them
a
little
bit
but
I'm
sorry,
unfortunately,
I'm
teed
off
about
this
really
I
got
a
couple
of
other
things
to
say
we
as
a
city
can
constantly
and
consistently
help
the
d-o-t
we
take
sidewalks
over
for
them
because
they
can't
maintain
them.
AG
We
take
on
that
responsibility
and
that
price
tag
each
person
in
here
that's
a
resident
of
Charleston-
is
paying
to
maintain
sidewalks
at
work
at
one
time,
do
t
responsibility
and
guess
what,
when
we
need
something
as
simple
as
a
left
turn
signal,
they
tell
us
hey
too
bad.
So
sad,
we
shouldn't
take
that
as
an
answer.
We
should
fight
this.
Our
citizens
came
here
tonight
on
less
than
24-hour
notice
and
begged
us
to
fight,
and
that's
what
we
should
do
our
procedure
on
this
stump.
AG
Unfortunately,
just
bad.
We
cannot
expect
our
residents
and
our
council
to
act
hastily
on
decisions
that
impact
our
residents
lives.
We
talk
all
the
time
about
local
authority
and
how
it
gets
stripped.
It
gets
stripped
when
we
make
bad
decisions.
Our
residents
are
never
going
to
support
us
if
we
impact
negatively
their
quality
of
life
and
by
diverting
traffic
from
Maybank,
which
is
a
major
road
through
the
middle
of
a
neighborhood
we're.
AG
Basically,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
putting
a
bandaid
on
the
situation,
we're
taking
it
off
a
busier
intersection,
putting
it
in
a
neighborhood
where
we're
actually,
we
could
still,
unfortunately,
injure
people.
This
is
a
very,
very
popular
place
to
walk
around
and
it's
very
accessible
to
the
public.
You
have
the
Golf
Course
right
there.
We
are
doing
our
citizens
into
service,
unfortunately,
and
I'm
sick
and
tired
of
getting
pushed
around.
AG
But
unfortunately,
if
we
make
bad
decisions
now,
this
area
also
is
a
very
and
a
very,
very
County,
very
high
County
air
there's
very
few
city
residents,
but
if
I
were
them,
I
wouldn't
want
to
annex
into
the
city
of
these
were
the
kind
of
decisions
that
our
City
Council
were
going
to
make
so
I
think
deferring
it
is
kicking
the
can
down
the
road.
If
we
really
want
to
send
a
message,
we
should
vote
no
on
this,
because
this
is
the
worst
idea
that
we
could
possibly
do
at
this
intersection.
B
AM
Mr.
mayor
I'd
be
happy
to
explain
some
thoughts,
councilmember
Griffin,
when
we
were
reviewing
everything
yesterday.
If
you
look
at
the
traffic
count
numbers
during
peak
hours,
there's
about
30
people
trying
to
make
a
left
turn
and
there's
1200
during
peak
hours
trying
to
get
on
it,
one
of
whom
I
represent
1200
people
trying
to
get
through
that
intersection
that
get
blocked
by
30
people
trying
to
make
a
left-hand
turn.
AM
So
when
you
just
review
it
that
way,
those
people
on
John's
Island
already
feel
underrepresented
and
on
this
council
and
we're
telling
them
that
they
don't
matter
because
30
people
are
gonna
dictate
and
the
residents
and
I
feel
you
and
I
hear
you.
But
this
has
been
an
ongoing
problem.
We
all
know
it
has
been
and
the
people
I
represent
on
John's
Island
want
to
just
be
able
to
come
home
from
work
and
not
have
to
make
unsafe
traffic
maneuvers
to
dart
around
people
that
are
making
a
left-hand
turn
lane.
AM
R
If
a
recommendation
does
come
back
to
us
to
divert
the
traffic,
you
know,
what's
gonna
happen
to
it,
it's
not
gonna
happen,
so
I
just
don't
think
trying
to
direct
it.
At
this
point,
we're
all
we're
doing
is
deferring
the
recommendation.
Any
recommendation
any
record
that
give
it
any
recommendation.
So
I
think
it's
the
right
motion
and
I'm
gonna
vote
in
favor
of
it.
With
the
understanding
look,
we
we
did
not
have
a
great
24
hours.
We
get
it
okay
and
we're
gonna
fix
it
before
it
goes
and
gets
implemented.
R
We're
gonna,
engage
and
I
do
want
to
just
say
this
to
the
people
in
the
neighborhood
who
came
out
and
that
you
read
about
this
in
the
newspaper
which
I'm
sorry.
We
learn
about
a
lot
of
stuff,
sometimes
the
newspaper
it's
okay,
not
all
of
it
is
by
the
way
perfect
and
we're
not
either
so
good
for
you
for
coming
out
tonight,
good
for
you
for
sending
the
3,000
emails.
R
Please
cut
it
out
for
a
little
bit,
and
so
we
send
you
the
next
set
of
recommendations
and
we
engage
you,
okay,
so
your
leadership
by
the
way,
your
homeowners
association
president,
did
a
great
job.
Today
he
got
on
it
quickly
got
on
the
phone
down
in
the
emails
we
talked
to
them.
So,
although
a
little
sloppy,
this
is
work.
This
process
has
worked.
We
haven't
gone
as
far
as
we
might
have
otherwise
gone.
B
B
We
ought
to
give
her
that
chance,
since
she's
stood
up
and
raised
her
hand
and
saying
that
she
could
do
that,
so
we
hadn't
resolved
this.
Obviously,
but
a
little
deferral
here
would
give
her
that
opportunity
and
our
other
state
elected
officials
to
try
to
come
to
a
better
outcome
so
well.
I
do
want
to
call
the
question,
but
if
somebody
hasn't
been
that
recognized
yet
council
member
wearing
for
briefly
Thank.
AL
AL
Some
of
the
part
about
the
additional
information
that
the
committee
had
involved,
how
difficult
it
is
to
work
with
Department
of
Transportation.
Now
they
all
are
friends,
but
they
difficult
to
work
with
I
think
they
would
even
admit
that
that
said,
the
system
is
now
engaged
so
today,
I
think
you
have
13
members
of
this
kind
as
the
mayor.
Obviously
12,
council
members,
that
if
we
were
to
vote
on
this
today,
that
being
the
route
I
think
it'd
be
13
enough.
AL
AL
R
Still
a
committee
report,
but
very
briefly,
the
last
thing
sort
of
the
dessert
of
it
all
was
we
got
a
report
for
mr.
Benjamin
and
I
want
to
recognize
him
he's
been
he's
out
of
tough
24
hours.
It's
like
all
of
us
on
all
this,
but
he
did
present
to
us
the
plan
for
the
resurfacing
restriping
and
sort
of
reconfiguration
of
Brigade
Street,
which
you
don't
know
where
Brigade
Street
is.
R
If
you
go
it's
an
east-west
running,
Street
north
on
Morrison
Drive,
it's
it's
an
example
of
many
things
we'll
be
able
to
in
the
future,
but
as
it
gets
repaved
in
the
regular
course
over
the
repaving
project,
it
is
going
to
be
restriped
to
make
it
a
much
more
vibrant,
Street
and
much
more
user
friendly
Street,
not
just
just
for
those
who
are
driving,
but
for
those
who
are
walking
and
biking
also
as
they
do
that
they
will
take
into
consideration
water
management
along
there.
So
it's
not
a
I.
R
Don't
I
forget
Keith
how
many
blocks
this
is
about
a
four
block.
Five
block
area,
but
it's
going
to
be
repaved
restrike,
will
make
sure
the
drainage
all
works.
It's
gonna
be
much
more
accessible
for
those
who
live
up
there
so
be
great
for
connectivity.
It's
gonna
end
on
the
west
side
at
the
low
line
when
that
gets
activated,
it'll
give
people
access
from
the
low
line
all
the
way
to
the
east
side
of
the
peninsula.
It's
a
really
cool
project
and
we
had
a
literally
life-sized
version
of
it
rolled
out
on
the
table.
R
We
actually
had
a
meeting
on
Brigade
Street
effectively
and
we
can
get
a
copy
that
to
everybody
so
information.
Only
this
project
is
coming
and
when
do
we
think
it's
going
to
happen
end
of
the
summer,
so
just
keep
it
on
the
gate
Street,
and
with
that
there's
no
more
questions
and
I
see.
There's
one
I
will
conclude.
My
committee
report
and
thank
everybody
tonight
for
coming
out.
If
you've
never
been
in
these
chambers
is
a
pretty
cool
place.
AI
You
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
council.
Remember
our
Chairman
seeking
report
about
the
brigade
Street,
and
this
is
this-
is
an
opportunity
and
an
illustration
of
when
our
relationship
with
d-o-t
does
work.
Mr.
Benjamin
reported
to
us
that
this
is
the
most
dangerous
intersection
in
the
peninsula.
I
understood
that
correctly
and
we're
taking
advantage
of
the
fact
that
the
state
d-o-t
is
resurfacing
the
street
and
they
gave
us
the
opportunity
to
make
the
improvement.
So
it's
a
good
collaboration.
It
can
give
us
hope.
I
do
feel
like
in
previous
discussion.
AI
Senator
Sun
is
gonna,
be
on
the
job
and
I.
That
was
my
response
to
people
as
they
wrote
today
that
a
few
people
I
had
a
chance
to
write
back
to
that
without
our
community
speaking
their
mind
to
the
leadership
that's
appropriate,
and
in
this
case
it
is
the
state
for
all
of
these
instances
we're
not
going
anywhere.
So
we
need
to.
AI
E
AI
AF
AL
Thank
you,
mister.
Thank
you
this
to
me.
I'd
say
it
was
a
very
short
meeting.
If
we
accept
it's
a
noise
ordinance
other
than
that
everything
went
well,
the
noise
ordinance
is
still
being
worked
on,
but
I
need
to
share
with
you.
I
did
call
Building
Inspection
mr.
mayor,
and
we
were
kind
of
operating
out
of
the
premise
that
anything
under
$5,000.
What
I
referred
to
weekend
warriors
are
people
working
on
their
own
home
with
people
who
kind
of
I
think
have
a
pass
on
that.
AL
There's
no
such
thing
that
exists
with
the
city
of
Charleston,
so
there's
no
$5,000
$4,999.
It's
that
you
can
go
and
do
without
getting
a
permit,
so
not
even
500,
not
even
500.
Yes,
sir
man
fact
the
example
was
given
was
$200.
You
still
have
to
come
down
and
get
a
forty
dollar
application
fee.
So
that's
something
we
can
work
on.
AL
You
know
before
we
come
back
in
two
weeks,
I
think
we'll
get
that
work
and
we
try
to
prepare,
protect
the
private
homeowner
being
able
to
work
on
his
or
her
home,
doing
the
weekends
and
other
owls.
Also.
That
said,
we
did
pass
I'll,
make
a
motion,
acceptance
and
dedication
of
rights,
the
waviness
aÃ
and
aÃ.
AL
AD
AL
Now
we
have
mister,
we
had
some
discussion
on
some
points
that
I
brought
up
three
points
from
the
stormwater
manual,
which
we
will
continue.
We
didn't
get
to
finish
there.
We're
gonna
send
some
of
that
and
as
a
member
you're
right,
councilman
Griffith,
but
I
want
to
get
to
mr.
Fountains
report
on
some
of
the
things
that's
going
on
around
the
city
and
in
your
district
to
saw
being
updated,
some
other
projects
being
updated.
AN
AN
This
house,
member,
wherein
mentioned
we,
we
did
discuss
the
comm
scope
that
was
passed
away
to
me
tonight
and
then
fast
again,
a
moment
ago
that
that
decide
for
educational
outreach
workshops
and
related
Emmanuel,
which
is
specifically
related
to
major
updates
and
changes
in
the
manual
show
the
consulting
to
be
how
to
comply
with
those.
Those
terms
is
one
of
the
real
thrusts
of
the
manuals
trying
to
simplify
compliance.
That
was
one
of
the
major
gives
else,
provides
a
technical
memos
to
document
and
make
into
the
record
here's
how
we
would
expect
to
demonstrate
compliance.
AN
I
didn't
prepare
a
memo
with
a
little
bit
more
detail,
but
for
revitalization
that
it
basically
talks
about
something
similar
to
what
we
had
seen
previously
in
Church
Creek,
where
how
we're
able
to
pass
ordinances
that
are
sort
of
customized
to
the
particular
problems
that
are
causing
flooding
in
different
areas.
That
generally
leads
to
a
lot
more
citizens,
support
and
residents
support.
AN
When
you
see
redevelopment
occurring
this,
it's
something
where
you
say
this
will
actually
make
stormwater
better,
rather
than
hopefully
not
flooding
your
property,
which
is
sort
of
the
general
feeling
that
a
lot
of
residents
have
at
this
point.
That
generally,
is
one
of
the
hurdles
for
a
lot
of
revitalization.
Projects
is
kind
of
resistance
and
frustration
from
local
citizens.
So
this
stands
for
sustainable.
That
will
help
you
basically
demonstrate
you
are
making
stormwater
better.
You
in
turn
will
actually
make
stormwater
better.
AN
Most
of
these
areas
and
West
Ashley
especially
are
in
and
Tiff's,
or
that
redevelopment
then
leads
to
further
revenue
that
goes
it
back
into
the
capital.
Projects
of
the
city
is
building
to
help
reduce
flooding
and
in
the
basins.
So
it's
a
nice
cycle
of
as
projects
come
in.
They
reduce
flooding
as
they
produce
more
money
that
helps
the
city,
build
more
capital
projects
which
helps
further
reduce
flooding
and
helps
you,
then
revitalize
more
properties
which
helps
you
create
more
money
which
helps
you
reduce,
more
flooding
and
eventually
have
a
fully
functional
Basin.
AN
AN
But
we
did
make
a
modification
at
the
request
of
the
parks,
Utilities
Committee,
originally
to
modify
our
current
city
redevelopment
ordinance
for
stormwater
to
say
that
right
now
we
say
if
you
have
to
spend
50%
of
your
total
property
value,
that's
land
value
and
improvement
value
within
a
five-year
period.
You
have
to
do
one
of
three
things
to
help
basically
improve
stormwater
on
the
property.
It's
not
full
compliance
with
the
manual,
it's
not
a
complete
redo
of
your
site,
but
there
are
things
to
bring
you
more
into
compliance.
AN
AN
The
proposed
manual
updates
would
change
that
ordinance
to
eliminate
those
exemptions
to
say
that
that
50%
value
over
that
five
year
period
includes
remodeling
work,
basically
interior
and
exterior.
It
doesn't
include
maintenance
activities.
You
know
waxing
the
floors
general
repainting,
that
kind
of
thing
it's
but
significant
improvements
that
bring
you
up
to
that
property
values
that
that
is
a
change.
AL
You
don't
mind,
let
me
tell
you
well,
that's
important
and
some
of
the
areas
is
being
revitalized.
West,
James
out,
some
of
you
all
represent
shopping
centers,
that
the
flooding
run
through
Natan
runs
through
neighborhoods.
Those
older
shopping,
centers,
basically
were
grant
funds,
so
they
didn't
have
to
hold
water
on
their
site
that
complicated
provision
that
he
just
gave
you
a
cliff
note
version
on
there's
an
attempt
to
bring
them
into
compliance,
so
South,
Windermere,
San,
Andrews
shopping
center,
Westwood
Plaza.
AL
AN
AN
We
also
talked
about
infill
development,
specifically
talking
about
affordable
housing,
another
other
small
project,
work
kind
of
in
existing
developed
areas.
We
do
have
a
provision
in
the
manual
for,
if
you're,
under
1/2,
acre
of
disturbance,
even
in
an
area
of
known
flooding,
there's
basically
a
menu
of
items
provided
that
you
can
select
from
the
menu
to
offset
your
new
impervious
area.
The
intent
there
was
not
to
make
small
projects
have
to
do
massive
drainage
studies
and
bring
in
special
design
work.
Instead,
it
says
for
every
Fleck
500
square
feet
of
impervious
area.
AN
You
can
add
a
certain
amount
of
rain
barrels
or
you
can
add
a
rain
garden.
You
can
add
infiltration
trenches.
It's
supposed
to
say
you
do
basically
do
something
on
your
property
and
to
raise
awareness
or
understanding
that
you're
in
an
area
of
flooding
that
you're
contributing
to
that
through
impervious
area.
If
it's
a
relatively
low
economic
impact,
once
you're
above
a
half
acre,
you
do
then
come
into
the
current
requirements.
Those
requirements
are
specifically
written
to
try
to
prevent
development
that
will
either
cause
flooding
on
that
development
or
on
adjacent
property
or
area
property.
AN
AN
Finally,
four
process
engagement.
This
is
basically,
how
will
we,
how
will
we
address
the
manual
moving
forward?
We
are
continuing
the
quarterly
meetings
of
the
stakeholder
task
force.
We
do
have
a
resolution
that
says
we'll
bring
the
manual
back
for
reconsideration
by
counsel
by
February
of
2021
this
to
see
how
the
implementation
is
going
and
see.
AN
If
we
need
to
make
modifications,
we
do
have
the
work
with
a
comm
that
we
just
discussed
it's
the
four
educational
sessions,
in
addition
to
the
a
technical
memos,
and
then
we
also
did
an
in
addition
to
that,
get
the
developers
of
the
lig
manual
in
coordination
with
Ashley
Cooper
Cooperative
Extension
to
come
down
and
do
a
full-day
workshop
again
showing
how
to
do
that.
How
to
show
there's
a
community
how
to
implement
those
features.
How
to
maintain
those
features.
So
that's
also
underway
and
then,
as
part
of
the
church.
AN
Creek
Basin
work
with
NIF
wif,
which
is
National
Fish
and
Wildlife.
Foundation
grant
we're
working
with
Clemson
extension
to
do
an
outreach
class
of
how
do
you
maintain
these
green
infrastructure
systems
as
we
install
them
on
some
of
the
bio
properties
throughout
Church
Creek.
So
that'll
be
another
good
way
to
kind
of
lead
into
that
manual
and
create
support
for
the
local
landscaping
and
maitenance
communities
to
be
able
to
learn
how
to
perform
that
service,
and
we
do
have
a
public
meeting
that
we're
finalizing
for
next
week
in
John's
island
for
housing.
AN
British
request
to
try
to
make
sure
that
the
outlying
areas
have
a
chance
to
get
into
that
we're
just
waiting,
hear
back
from
the
school
on
weather,
Tuesday
or
Thursday
will
be
the
ideal
day,
but
we'll
get
make
sure
we
get
notice
out
to
everyone.
I've
already
talked
with
some
of
the
groups
and
the
stakeholders
about
that.
That
meeting
come
in
and
we'll
continue
that,
of
course,
with
the
de
for
more
educational
sessions.
That
will
be
we'll
try
to
do
those
around
the
city
in
different
regions.
AN
So
people
can
kind
of
have
a
chance
to
come
out
and
hear
about
the
manual
in
more
detail
getting
into
the
the
actual
project
work
the
site,
drainage
evaluation.
So
we've
we've
been
going
back
and
forth
finalizing
this
scope
with
a
comm
I
think
we're
just
about
we're
in
our
last
kind
of
our
last
revision.
So
we
should
see
this
it'll
go
to
capital
project
review
in
two
weeks
and
we'll
go
to
PAC
to
Council
and
the
first
March
meeting
most
likely.
AN
So
that
will
be
basically
the
evaluation
of
all
of
the
side
range
inventory,
doing
the
stormwater
modeling
to
determine
what
the
kind
of
where
the
current
flooding
is
with,
which
we
confirm
then
I'll
break
the
model
with
what
we
know
is
out
there
in
flooding
situation,
developing
improvement
projects
and
then
doing
some
cost
estimates
on
those
we've
we've
made
this
go
a
little
bit
different
than
some
of
the
work
we've
done
in
the
past.
We
started
this
little
bit
in
Dupont
whoppin.
AN
We
did
this
to
some
extent
where
we've
brought
a
lot
of
community,
involve
the
development
into
the
into
the
work,
not
just
sort
of
the
engineers
doing
it
in
the
backroom,
but
we
did
put
in
a
after.
The
evaluation
process
will
have
sort
of
outreach
to
talk
about
possible
project
options.
To
have
the
community
be
able
to
come
out
and
say
what
their
priorities
are
for
the
projects,
then,
once
we
have
sort
of
some
finalized
projects,
do
another
outreach
to
say
here's
where
we
see
those
projects
moving
forward
with.
AN
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
a
heavy
reliance
on
sort
of
what
we
would
call
like.
A
multi-use
type
storm
water
project
word,
it
doesn't
just
benefiting
flooding,
it's
also
providing
secondary
benefits,
whether
it's
park
space,
whether
it's
recreation,
whether
it's
walking
trails
green
space.
So
that
is
much
in
keeping
the
Dutch
dialogues.
We're
saying
make
sure
that's
a
focus
of
the
evaluation
of
project
work
in
that
ties
into
our.
AN
What
we've
previously
talked
about
with
the
prioritization
system,
where
we
look
at
environmental
impacts
and
social
justice
impacts
than
just
in
addition
to
just
straight
economic
cost-benefit
impacts,
the
DuPont
wobbu
drainage,
improvement
projects.
These
are
the
first
four
improvement
projects
that
scope
we've
negotiated
where
they
come
we're
now
working
with
the
county,
because
the
county
has
agreed
to
cover
about
25
percent
of
that.
So
we're
finalizing
their
comments.
AN
Our
comments,
finalizing
that
with
a
calm,
well
bringing
forth
an
IgA
or
an
MoU
to
finalize
that
fiscal
arrangement
and
then
bring
that
back
to
Council
for
consideration
for
the
design
funding,
ongoing
project
work,
the
medical
district
tunnel
extension.
We
did
approve
that
at
the
final
portion
of
the
design
work
at
a
recent
council
meeting,
we've
met
with
the
hospitals
again
we're
moving
forward
with
these
Mac
position,
they're
all
very
supportive
of
the
project,
and
we
have
that
preliminary
as
I
worked
for
John
our
easement
corridor
and
finalizing
our
our
geotech,
the
low
battery.
AN
All
the
first
phase
of
demolition
is
complete.
All
of
the
initial
water
line
work
is
complete.
There
is
now
the
new
CWS
water
service
through
the
area,
including
services
to
the
homes
which
were
actually
replacing
current
lead
pipe
service.
So
that
was
something
that
was
pretty
well
received
by
the
community
to
go
from
lead
pipe
to
modern,
modern
plumbing.
AN
We
are
getting
significantly
through
production,
pile
work.
We
did
have
some
differing
site
conditions,
which
was
not
unexpected
on
a
wall,
that's
110
years
old,
so
we're
probably
gonna
have
to
modify.
We
are
modifying
the
panel
design
slightly
based
on
the
locations
of
the
timber
piles.
That
will
be
a
change
proposal.
We
bring
him
back,
but
that's
something
we
expected
with
this
project.
That's
why
we
phased
the
original
phase
to
do
a
thousand
feet
to
find
out
what
we
don't
know
as
we
basically
remove
this
wall
and
start
investigating
the
underground.
AN
The
upside
is
that
the
other
major
unknown
was
subsurface
Boyden
space.
Basically,
how
much
of
the
soil
had
been
eroded
out
from
underneath
the
wall
over
time?
Would
you
have
to
backfill
with
like
a
urethane
sallman,
which
is
very
expensive?
That
seems
to
be
much
less
than
we
had
anticipated,
so
the
two
things
will
somewhat
balance
each
other
out
as
we
move
through
the
project
spring
fishburne
phase
3
we're
in
actually
the
last
the
last
set
of
concrete
pours
for
the
underground
tunnel.
It's
the
junction
of
the
two
major
tunnels.
AN
So
once
that
finishes
this
month,
that
will
be
the
end
of
concrete
work
on
the
underground
portion
of
Spring
Fishburn.
We
still
be
working
between
the
two
bridges,
but
not
on
the
underground
section.
They'll
be
coming
up.
Two
subs
are
up
to
a
surface
and
finalizing
the
site's.
Putting
the
coverage
back
on
reopening
the
king,
Street
on-ramp.
Some
of
that
kind
of
work
can
ug
drainage
improvement.
We
submitted
our
encroachment
permits
to
do
t4
review
on
the
basis
of
the
street
level
improvements
on
that
project,
so
that
will
be
the
first
phase
of
that
project.
AN
We
do
have
our
preliminary
engineering
report
completed
two
for
the
pump
station
design
for
what
the
recommended
options
are
for
that
that
approach
which
we're
going
through
right
now
with
the
consultant
and
it
will
be
bringing
that
next
task
to
actually
do
the
final
design
work
on
the
second
phase
of
the
project,
Church
Creek
and
later
or
again,
we're
finalizing
that
NIF
with
grant
award
for
the
conversion
of
the
bio
properties
and
to
beneficial
use.
It's
been
awarded.
Now
it's
just
finalizing
the
actual
award
documentation.
AN
We
can
bring
it
to
Council
to
formally
accept
the
award
and
be
able
to
begin
work.
We've
had
a
number
of
good
negotiation
and
discussion
sessions
with
local
kind
of
major
property
owners
in
the
area,
in
addition
to
that,
for
potentially
dedicating
over
large
drainage
storage
pond,
basically,
where
we
can
read
naturalize
the
existing
canal
and
of
a
stream
convert
some
of
the
large
property
areas
into
additional
floodplain,
bring
decks
and
wetlands
to
the
area
and
sort
of
do
a
regional,
a
detention
system
which
will
kind
of
feed
out
of
that
buy
out
property
work.
AN
We're
also
continuing
to
work
with
the
county
on
the
Glenn
McConnell
widening,
which
is
at
in
the
basic
additional
drainage
pipe
under
Glenn
McConnell,
from
like
daughter
to
the
south,
to
help
like
daughter,
also
have
a
basically
maintain
a
lower
water
level.
During
these
major
storm
events
for
barbary
woods,
we
did
release
the
advertising
for
the
request
for
qualifications
on
the
barber
was
drainage,
improvement
projects.
So
that's
now
on
the
streets
for
consultants
to
respond
to.
AN
William
Ackerman
it's
behind
the
Windermere
Shopping
Center
we've
installed
a
check
valve
and
small
berm
installation.
That's
one
of
our
small
projects.
Those
are
both
complete.
We
should
go
from
basically
Ackerman
flooding
it
just
higher
than
a
six-foot
tide.
Now
it
would
take
over
and
about
an
8-foot
tide
before
you
have
flooding.
So
if
you
get
to
that
eight-foot
tide,
you're
gonna
get
major
flooding,
but
it
won't
be
that
constant,
recurring
flooding.
Now
from
from
month-to-month.
AN
Let's
see
Lord
Calvert
Drive
that
projects
and
under
Wade
we
did
have
a
different
site,
condition
on
that
one
as
well,
where
they
basically
there's
a
corrugated
metal,
pipe
that
the
contractor
probably
50
years
ago,
had
a
clay,
sewer
conflict
and
no
one.
You
generally
don't
want
to
touch
the
clay
sewer
lines
because
they
start
to
crack
when
you
touch
them
and
you
have
to
keep
chasing
them
and
they
tends
to
become
a
very,
very
major
capital
project
very
quickly.
So
someone
basically
crushed
the
corrugated
metal
pipe
to
fit
it
under
the
sewer
pipe.
AL
Because
the
committee
members
get
that
every
two
weeks,
but
everybody
that's
not
on
that
committee-
you
don't
get
that
and
certainly
I
can't
give
that
kind
of
detail.
So
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
arduous
little
hoping
Council
me
but
I
think
drainage
is
that
important
and
every
one
of
our
districts.
So
thank
you
appreciate.
AN
B
AO
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
yep,
but
I
think
it's
been
about
seven
years
since
special
Facilities
Committee
met.
But
but
you
know
we
talked
about
this
today.
In
fact,
councilman
shades
said
that
our
special
facilities
are
real
jewels.
I
mean
we've
got
a
special
value,
and
some
of
our
special
facilities
are
some
of
the
most
special
facilities
in
the
country,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
track
of
that
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
a
good
liaison
to
this
council.
AO
So
we
will
be
meeting
more
often
to
to
check
on
those
things.
First
item
that
came
up
on
on
our
agenda
was
the
Alicia
Pelosi
plaque
at
the
dock.
Street
Theatre
courtyard
Spoleto,
Festival
USA,
was
requesting
requesting
our
approval
to
procure
and
install
a
plaque
in
the
dock
street
theater
courtyard
for
Alicia
Pelosi,
for
which
that
courtyard
has
already
named
Plato
seeking
to
complete
that
project
prior
to
the
start
of
the
2020
Spoleto
Festival
USA
commencing,
and
they
would
also
be
responsible
for
the
cost
associated
with
this.
So
so
they
asked
for
our
approval.
AO
AP
B
AP
400,000
in
2019
they
have
a.
We
have
a
small
couple,
small
projects
going
on
there,
but
the
big
thing
is
there
are
some
larger
projects
that
need
to
probably
be
undertaken
as
far
as
enhancing
the
visitor
experience,
as
well
as
protecting
the
tree,
and
there
was
some
discussions
about
how
we
might
go
about
possibly
funding
that.
AP
So
I'm
going
to
work
on
that
report
that
back
out
to
the
committee,
doc
Street
Theater,
the
plaque
was
mentioned.
Thank
you
for
that.
The
theater
seats
are
going
to
be
all
reupholstered
in
2020,
so
that
was
a
project
that
was
funded
in
2019,
but
because
of
the
calendar
and
all
the
events
going
on,
we
were
not
able
to
get
it
done.
AP
So
there
will
be
a
prior
two
or
two-and-a-half
week
period
where
there
will
not
be
any
events
going
on
and
we'll
have
all
of
everything
reupholstered
and
no,
they
will
not
be
council
member
who
wasn't
that
asked
if
they
were
gonna
get
any
larger.
The
seats
will
not
be
getting
any
larger,
unfortunately,
just
reupholstered,
yes,
certainly
old
exchange
building
had
69
thousand
visitors
in
2019.
They
are
currently
working
on
some
facility
repairs
to
both
the
cupola
and
the
windows.
AP
They
are
also
working
to
research
and
create
some
new
displays.
I
know
it
seems
like
a
relatively
relatively
low
number
I
think.
That's
probably
just
paid
visitors,
I
think,
that's
probably
not
including
some
of
these
school
tourist
groups
and
things
like
that
that
are
coming
through
so
I'm
gonna
go
back
and
probably
verify
that
number
with
staff
I
think
that's
a
an
isolated
number
that
they're
giving
the
old
slave
Mart
had
83,000
visitors.
That
is
actually
another
record.
I.
AP
Think
it's
about
the
fourth
or
fifth
year
in
a
row
just
continues
to
climb
the
number
of
visitors
that
come
to
see
the
old
slave
Mart.
They
too
are
working
on
some
new
displays
for
the
museum
and
out
of
the
emergency
action
plan
that
we
did
with
all
the
facilities.
Couple
recommendations
that
came
out
of
from
the
police
department
was
a
couple
more
security
cameras,
as
well
as
an
AED
machine.
We
are
working
on
the
security
cameras
right
now.
The
IDI
machine
has
already
been
installed.
AP
Our
safety
management
has
already
taken
care
of
that
we've
already
trained
some
staff
on
use
of
that.
The
Maritimes
Center,
the
big
thing
with
the
Maritime
Center,
is
we
kind
of
updated.
We
did
the
MoU
with
the
International
African
American
Museum,
and
the
South
Carolina
Aquarium
for
use
of
the
facility.
The
aquarium
is
starting
to
discuss,
plans
and
designs
and
have
engaged
the
city
about
our
interest
in
working
on
that
lease
part
of
that
includes
the
city
trying
to
get
out
of
our
EDA
grant
requirements
that
exists.
Legal
is
currently
working
on
that.
AP
As
that
progresses,
we
will
continue
to
bring
that
back
to
the
committee.
A
few
things
that
were
discussed
had
to
do
with
the
docks
and
specifically
some
things,
we're
seeing
happen
with
the
docks.
Unfortunately,
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
transient
boaters
turn
away
from
the
docks,
after
only
being
there
for
a
day
or
two
because
of
this
construction
going
on
with
the
I
am
we're
hoping
the
pile
driving
and
sheet
piling,
which
will
be
done
in
a
few
weeks,
will
kind
of
prevent
that
stop
that
from
happening.
But
that
is
something
we
are
experiencing.
AP
AP
Currently,
the
agreement
goes
up
3%
each
year
they
asked
if
we
would
consider
freezing
it
during
the
time
Diane
construction
is
going
on,
I've
been
asked
to
go
back
to
them
and
ask
for
some
data
to
kind
of
verify
the
experiences
that
they're
actually
having
when
I
get
that
information
I'll
bring
it
back
to
the
committee.
The
last
is
the
visitor
center.
We
entered
into
a
management
operation
agreement
with
the
CA
CVB
for
that
facility,
which
included
the
renovation
which
we
funded
over
a
two-year
period.
AP
B
Thank
you,
so
I
would
like
to
accept
a
motion
to
accept
the
report.
Since
there
was
one
action
that
was
taken
any
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
say
hi,
they
oppose
you
guys
have
it
so
now
we
got
two
committees
in
a
row
going
to
councilmember
Gregory
and
before
I.
Ask
you
to
begin.
I
would
like
to
share
with
Council
that
when
I
got
elected
a
little
over
four
years
ago,
they
councilmember
Gregory
urged
me
to
greatly
consider
the
use
of
our
committee
structure.
AF
We're
doing
pretty
good,
are
we
I
think
so,
but
I,
okay,
but
many
are
recreation,
but
I
still
think
we're
at
the
beginning
stages
of
our
involvement
on
our
standing
committees.
Me
I
think
we're
doing
fine.
Okay,
you
still
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do.
The
Committee
on
Recreation
met
today
at
three
o'clock
and
we
only
had
one
action
item.
However,
there
was
a
very
extensive
discussion
on
the
low
line
and
I
really
can't
wait
until
all
of
my
fellow
council
members
get
a
chance
to
see
that
presentation.
AF
AF
B
was
just
more
of
a
reporting
item:
C
the
naming
and
approval
of
signage
for
Brenda
Scott
way
at
the
corner
of
President
and
Fishburne
streets.
Just
a
little
background-
and
this
was
recommended
by
author
Lawrence
and
Burke
high
school
class
of
67
yay
67
and
the
reason
for
the
request
is
that
on
the
corner
of
President
and
Fishburne,
Brenda
Scott's
father
operated
sort
of
a
soda
fountain
shop
there.
AF
Gotti,
mrs.
Gotti
was
Brenda
Scott's
father
Brenda
Scott
was
a
25
year,
City
Councilwoman
on
on
this
council
and
served
us
very
well,
so
our
class
thought
it
most
appropriate
to
give
her
her
due
as
well
as
recognizing
the
importance
of
Scotties
to
most
of
the
children
and
students
and
went
to
Burke
high
school.
That
was
the
only
action
item
we
had
and
we
voted
unanimously
to
support
that.
B
AF
B
Right
so
next
will
be
our
Committee
on
ways
and
means
motion
to
approve
any
discussion.
All
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
so
before
they
leave.
I
did
want
to
note
that
one
of
the
items
on
ways
and
means
missioned
committee
included
our
issuance
of
additional
bond
of
7.9
million
dollars
for
the
Charleston
neck
redevelopment
project
area
and
recognized
Weldon
Johnson
who's
with
us
this
evening,
and
he
worked
with
the
development
there,
and
the
reason
I
pointed
out
is
that
a
lot
of
this
funding.
B
We
we
as
a
city,
had
the
dubious
distinction
of
having
a
environmental
super
funds
site
and
those
are
the
worst
of
the
worst
environmental
sites
in
the
nation.
It
was
designated
many
many
years
ago.
It
was
where
the
Koppers
creosote
plant
was
in
the
neck
area,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
funding,
an
agreement
that
we
had
with
the
developer
and
you
can
see
a
lot
of
the
work
now
going
on
is-
is
really
cleaning
up
that
Superfund
site
and
then
the
adjacent
fertilizer
plants
that
were
there
as
well.
B
B
Hearing
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
he
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
now
I
didn't
know
end
of
number
22.
There
was
a
request
to
be
redrawn
withdrawn
at
the
request
of
the
applicant.
So
can
I
entertain
a
motion
to
withdraw
number
22
any
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
y'all,
technically
I'm
supposed
to
sign
these
bills
ordinances
before,
while
we're
still
in
session.
Anybody
like
to
be
recognized
and
make
a
comment
while
I'm
busy
at
work
up.
