Ahead,
Heavenly
Father
bless
us
all
and
keep
us
under
your
wing.
May
your
Divinity
shine
on
us
all
with
your
grace.
Allow
us
to
feel
your
presence,
as
we
said
about
in
our
duties.
Mindful
of
your
humble
guidance,
give
us
the
wisdom
to
know
when
to
listen
and
the
fortitude
to
know
when
to
speak,
for
those
in
need
or
feeling
the
effects
of
ill
health.
We
pray
for
your
gentle
hand,
relief
and
Recovery.
Let
us
strive
all
together
and
with
your
guidance
to
make
this
ours.
B
Right
y'all,
we
have
a
few
presentations
this
evening
if
y'all
don't
mind
I'm
I'm,
going
to
join
the
first
two
kind
of
together.
That's
a
proclamation
recognizing
fair
housing
month,
along
with
the
proclamation
recognizing
attainable
housing,
since
those
are
kind
of
related
and
I'd
like
to
ask
Gianna
Johnson
to
come
forward
who's.
The
director
of
our
Department
of
Housing
and
Community
Development,
also
otha
Meadows,
is
with
us
this
evening.
He's
the
CEO
of
the
Charleston
Urban,
League
and
I
want
to
introduce
to
everyone.
B
Craig
Logan
he's
an
executive
fellow
with
the
Charleston
Chamber
of
Commerce
Craig,
and
anyone
affiliated
with
this
either
one
of
these
proclamations.
Please
come
forward
young
lady.
You
are
pleased
to
see
you
come
on,
and
former
council
member
Marie
del
Chapo
is
with
us
this
evening:
hey
Marie!
How
are
you
so.
F
B
As
well
yeah,
so
if
I
may,
this
Proclamation
and
I'm
gonna
kind
of
merge
it
with
the
other
one
as
well.
Whereas
this
year
we
commemorate
the
55th
anniversary
of
the
passage
of
the
Fair
Housing
Act
The
Landmark
civil
rights
law
signed
by
President
Lyndon
Baines
Johnson
on
April
11
of
1968
that
made
discrimination
and
housing
transactions
unlawful.
B
Whereas
attainable
housing
week
serves
as
an
important
time
to
raise
awareness
about
the
critical
importance
of
attainable
housing
in
our
communities,
whereas
the
fourth
week
of
April
shall
be
known
as
attainable
housing
week.
This
year's
theme
housing
as
infrastructure.
A
foundation
for
opportunity
highlights
how
housing
is
essential
infrastructure
that
shapes
our
communities
and
provides
opportunities
for
people
to
build
Better
Lives,
whereas
we
we
recognize
the
efforts
of
the
Regional
Housing,
Coalition
non-profits
developers,
community
members
who
work
tirelessly
to
promote
and
create
attainable
housing
in
our
community.
B
G
G
I'd
just
like
to
talk
about
a
few
of
our
accomplishments.
This
past
year,
this
past
year,
we
answered
over
300
calls
to
our
fair
housing
hotline.
We
mediated
over
40
cases
of
landlord-tenant
disputes.
We
distributed
over
5
000,
fair
housing,
fires
in
three
languages,
English
Spanish
and
Portuguese-
to
address
the
emerging
Brazilian
population
in
our
community.
The
other
thing
that
we
were
able
to
do
this
year,
Mr
Mayor,
is
we
were
able
to
put
QR
codes
on
the
side
of
Carter
buses
not
only
on
the
exterior
but
also
on
the
interior.
G
If
I
may
I'd
just
like
to
talk
for
a
minute
about
the
new
affirmative,
fair
housing
rule
that
was
proposed
by
Hud
in
January
of
this
year
and
the
new
fair
housing
affirmative
fur
housing
rule
says
that
we
must
do
a
better
job
in
creating
more
inclusive
communities,
creating
more
housing
choice
and
eliminating
discrimination.
Mr
Mayor.
What
HUD
is
asking
us
to
do
is
to
step
up
our
game.
We
have
to
be
more
transparent
and
more
accountable
in
how
we
address
fair
housing
issues
in
our
community.
G
So
to
that
point,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
HUD
has
acknowledged
that
some
of
the
policies
that
they
have
implemented
have
in
fact
contributed
to
discrimination
and
housing.
Just
give
you
an
example,
going
back
to
the
GI
Bill
over
1
million
African-American
soldiers
that
served
in
World,
War
One
were
denied
housing
opportunities
through
the
GI
bill.
So
what
HUD
is
asking
us
to
do
is
to
step
up
our
game
and
to
come
up
with
more
Progressive
and
more
effective
solutions
to
how
we
look
at
fear
housing
in
this
community.
G
We
tend
to
make
this
information
public
at
the
end
of
this
month,
and
will
we
use
that
to
develop
policy
for
an
equity
plan
for
the
City
of
Charleston
over
the
next
five
five
years,
as
it
relates
to
fair
housing
again
Mr
Mayor
I
want
to
thank
you
and
Council
for
all
your
support
and
the
work
that
we're
allowed
to
do
in
the
area
of
fear
housing.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
for
your
partner,
Chris.
B
So
next
I'd
like
to
introduce
to
everyone,
if
you
haven't,
met
Craig
Logan
he's
with
the
Trident
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
I
I,
got
to
tell
you
all
I
feel
like
the
City
of
Charleston.
For
a
long
time
has
been
pulling
a
lot
of
the
weight
for
the
topic
of
of
the
cause
of
affordable
housing
in
this
region.
And
the
thing
we
realize
is
it's:
it's
not
just
one
jurisdiction.
It's
the
whole
region.
B
H
H
A
portion
of
that
is
education.
People
hear
the
words
affordable
housing
people
who
are
the
words
Workforce
housing
and
they're
automatically
negative
connotations
that
come
along
with
that.
So
what
we're
working
to
do
is
really
convene
the
region
together
to
think
about.
How
can
we
change
the
narrative
behind
that?
H
B
Sir
Gianna
or
anyone
else
would
y'all
like
to
make
the
comment
if,
if
I
could
just
share
a
brief
experience,
I
had
just
yesterday,
I
had
a
gentleman
call
my
office
request
a
meeting
and
I
thought
it
was
a
little
odd
at
first,
because
his
business
Kion
their
manufacturer
of
forklifts.
The
business
is
on
the
other
side
of
Somerville
in
Dorchester
County.
His
name
was
Jonathan
Dolly
he's
the
head
of
the
plant
here,
they're
looking
to
make
a
52
million
dollar
investment
and
literally
triple
the
workforce,
making
forklifts
out
of
manufacturing
plan.
B
Why
did
he
come
down
to
talk
to
the
mayor
Charleston
when
he
was
way
out
there
in
Somerville
to
to
accentuate
the
point
that
we
we're
at
a
point
y'all
with
our
region,
that
unless
we
can
provide
more
affordable
housing,
it
limits
our
economic
growth
for
this
region?
It's
a
limiting
factor,
isn't
it
and,
and
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
has
realized
this?
B
Providing
good
jobs,
providing
good
jobs
for
our
region,
he's
ready
to
hire
500
new
people
at
this
manufacturing
facility
and
he
can't
find
decent,
affordable
housing
he's
actually
considering
providing
housing
on
the
plant
property.
They
own
80
acres
there
and
I,
encourage
them
to
do
that
and
be
a
pilot
test
case
for
this
region
to
have
employers
actually
providing
some
affordable
housing
on
their
own
property.
So
anyway,
I
just
thought
I
would
share
that
experience.
It
really
is
a
team
effort
that
we
need
for
this
whole
region
to
solve
this
issue.
B
All
right
next
up,
we've
got
a
proclamation
recognizing
Donate
Life
month
and
I'm,
going
to
invite
Dave
DiStefano
he's
the
president
and
CEO
of
we
are
sharing,
hope,
South
Carolina
to
the
stage
and
y'all
I
share
the
proclamation
first
and
then
introduce
Dave
to
you,
whereas
one
of
the
most
meaningful
gifts
that
a
human
being
can
bestow
upon.
Another
is
a
gift
of
life
through
organ
eye
and
tissue
donation,
whereas
more
than
105
000
children
and
adults
await
life-saving
transplants,
which
more
than
1500
are
here
in
South
Carolina
in
2022.
B
For
the
first
time,
230
South
Carolinians
said
yes
to
organ
donation,
transplanting
612
organs
and
saving
the
lives
of
512
people
awaiting
a
second
chance
at
life.
In
2022,
390,
South
Carolinians
said
yes
to
tissue
donation.
Enhancing
more
than
48
000
American
lives.
An
average
of
20
people
die
each
day
waiting
for
an
organ
transplant,
every
10
minutes.
B
Another
name
is
added
to
the
National
transplant
waiting
list,
whereas
according
to
National
research
conducted
by
Donate
Life
America,
more
than
90
percent
of
Americans
support
donation
and
more
than
48
percent
of
South
Carolinians
over
two
and
a
half
million
residents
have
said
yes
at
the
DMV,
and
if
you
do
that,
you
pull
out
your
driver's
license
and
you
see
the
little
red
heart
on
your
driver's
license.
That
means
you're
signed
up
for
that
in
case.
B
Now,
therefore,
I
John
J
tecklenburg
major
city
of
Charleston
long
city
council,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
April
as
Donate
Life
month
here
in
Charleston,
and
so
Dave
heads
up
this
organization
and
have
y'all
been
out
to
Henry
tecklenburg
Drive
and
seeing
their
new
headquarters,
we
opened
it.
We
cut
the
ribbon
on
it
about
six
months,
maybe
a
year
ago
it
is
a
beautiful
building.
West
Ashley,
it
really
is
a
terrific
and
the
amount
of
work
that
they
do
there
to
save
lives
is
just
incredible.
I
give
you
Dave
deception.
I
I
The
mayor
was
correct
in
that
we
have
seen
Milestones
of
generosity
in
South
Carolina
over
the
last
four
or
five
years,
and
it
speaks
to
the
strength,
the
courage
and
the
character
of
the
citizens
of
this
great
state.
As
the
mayor
said,
we
were
able
to
save
over
500
lives
last
year
and
facilitate
600
gifts,
which
is
a
milestone
in
the
state
and
we're
very
proud
of
the
people
and
the
work
that
teams
do
to
kind
of
bring
that
gift
of
life
to
those
recipients
who
are
waiting.
I
1500
people
are
waiting
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina
receive
this
second
chance
and
we
won't
rest
until
all
of
them
get
that
gift
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
we
are
very
excited
about
the
new
space
and
welcome
anyone
who
wants
to
come
and
give
presentations
about
health
care
disparities
in
the
state
and
try
to
educate
our
community
on
on
health
needs
and
health
issues
throughout
the
state
of
South
Carolina.
So
I.
Thank
you
all
very
much
for
your
time
and
attention
and
all
the
work
that
you
do.
Thank.
J
B
J
K
But
when
I
arrived
that
she
was
living
and
going
to
school
in
Michigan
when
I
arrived
there
folks
from
Donate
Life
Michigan
who'd
come
in
to
talk
to
us
that
unbeknownst
to
us,
she
had
opted
into
the
organ
donation
program
and
she
was
able
to
donate
a
liver
and
both
of
her
kidneys
and
got
to
do
the
honor
walk,
and
you
know
I
I
thought
I
kept
it
together,
pretty
good.
Until
one
of
the
nurses
had
shouted
out
that
Mary
was
a
hero
and
we
always
had
a
good
sibling
rivalry.
K
But
but
you
know,
I
I
said
at
her
or
you
and
she
you
know
she
had
she'd
kind
of
one
up
me
there
in
the
end,
because
I
can't
say
that
I
saved
three
lives,
no
matter
the
actions
that
I
take
I
can't
say
that
I
am
an
organ
donor
and
I
hope
that
you
know
I'm
able
to
do
that
and
honor
her
memory
as
well.
But
I
would
encourage
you
if
you
don't
have
that
red
heart
on
your
driver's
license.
K
As
mayor
techlinberg
said,
you
know,
please
think
about
opting
into
that
program,
because
I
got
to
personally
see
what
that
did
and
what
it
means,
and
you
know
you're
not
only
able
to
save
a
life
but
through
the
loss
that
you
may
have
other
people
get
to
live
as
well
and
have
a
loved
one
return
to
them.
So
just
wanted
to
say
that
and
thank
you,
Mr.
B
Mayor,
thank
you
for
that.
Testimony
appreciate
it
very
much
so.
Lastly,
we
have
a
proclamation
recognizing
International,
dark
sky
week.
That's
what's
requested
by
council
member
Brady.
So
if
you
come
forward
along
with
some
of
the
representatives
of
the
international
dark
sky,
Association
I
think
Mr
Hoffman
is
with
us:
James
Hoffman,
Low,
Country,
stargazers,
Club,
president
and
and
Michael
harhold
of
the
Audubon
South
Carolina
y'all
with
us.
Please
come
up
and
join
us.
B
Couldn't
see
it
much,
how
are
you
so
and
I
think
Mr
Hoffman
who's
not
with
it
was
a
constituent
of
council
member
Brady's?
No,
you
were
I,
mean
yeah
and
brought
this
matter
to
our
attention.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
a
year
or
two
later,
I
think
we're
making
a
little
progress.
Proclamation
reads:
whereas
one
of
the
most
I'm
I
gave
away
the
wrong
Proclamation
that
did
did
Dave
leave.
B
B
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
city
council
and
the
people
of
Charleston.
This
came
to
my
well
I
could
say
I'm
an
amateur
astronomer
been
that
for
many
many
years,
I
came
from
places
where
you
can
see
the
Milky
Way
of
as
beautiful
as
you
can
I
used
to
come
down
here.
As
a
young
kid
visiting
with
family,
see
the
Milky
Way
see
the
stars.
Do
you
see
that
here
now?
L
No,
that's
something
we
can
change,
though.
That's
why
we're
bringing
this
International
dark
sky
week
to
the
Forefront
for
everybody
here
to
let
you
know
we
don't
want
you
to
do
away
for
a
few
bites.
We
just
want
you
to
use
them
in
a
proper
way.
Use
them
when
you
need
them,
use
timers,
direct
them
downwards.
L
Shield
them,
don't
let
them
go
until
your
neighbor's
Windows
to
wake
you
up
so
with
that
Mr,
Meredith,
International,
dark
sky
Association
thinks
the
city,
the
mayor,
the
council
and
the
people
of
Charleston,
and
let's
make
this
a
more
safer
place
and
better
for
all,
like
sea
turtles
Birds
nocturnal
animals,
they
need
the
darkness.
Just
as
we
do.
Thank
you.
Thank.
J
K
K
You
know
right
because
of
of
international
Dark
Skies
week,
but
just
the
street
lights
are
are
kind
of
the
beginning
and
we've
been
working
over
time
and
hope
to
bring
something
to
council
soon
to
think
of
light
pollution,
as
we
think
of
noise
pollution.
It's
a
quality
of
life
issue,
the
same
way
that
we
measure
if
your
neighbor
is
playing
a
stereo
too
loud
or
there's
a
car
too
loud
and
it
and
it
begins
to
disturb
your
quality
of
life.
K
We
want
to
begin
to
think
of
light
that
way,
because
apparently,
there's
really
nothing
that
stops
you
technically
from
having
a
spotlight
on
the
side
of
your
house
and
shining
it
into
your
neighbor's
window
or
your
neighbor's
yard,
and
obviously
that
disturbs
them
that
can
disturb
their
animals.
You
know
we.
K
We
basically
have
somewhat
of
a
24-hour
City,
where
you
have
nurses,
doctors,
convenience,
store
workers,
truckers
all
types
of
occupations
who
live
in
and
around
you
that
don't
work
nine
to
five
and
so
being
able
to
bring
that
light
level
down,
can
help
them
with
a
higher
quality
of
life,
but
also
we
need
to
be
good
neighbors
and
especially
the
areas
that
I
represent.
I
know
the
paper
had
done
an
editorial
on
it
as
well.
K
You
know:
I
represent
John's
Island
and
outer
West
Ashley,
that
kind
of
butts
up
against
the
urban
growth
boundary,
so
it
kind
of
makes
sense
as
we
get
out
towards
the
edges
of
the
city
that
we
would
ramp
down
the
amount
of
light
there,
but
understanding
that
on
the
peninsula,
it's
probably
going
to
be
more
concentrated.
So
we
look
forward
to
working
with
everybody
here
to
bring
forward
something
to
council
soon
and
begin
to
hopefully
address
this
quality
of
life
issue.
So
thank
you.
Everybody.
F
If
you
haven't
been
to
Washington
recently
that
depicts
this
life
pollution,
that
councilman
baby
is
mentioning
and
if
you
ever
get
a
chance
to
go
up
there.
This
shows
you
the
impact
that
life
pollution
has
on
our
environment
and
on
our
residences
and
I
would
just
encourage
you
to
do
that.
If
you
have
an
opportunity
next
time,
I'll
be
in
Washington.
B
Great
thank
you
any
other
comment
from
Council
hearing.
None
will
move
along.
Thankfully,
there's
no
public
hearings
tonight
I
do
want
to
add
for
approval
of
our
city
council
minutes,
probably

any
corrections.
Addition

here
and
none
all
in

Have
it
next
up?
Is

period?
Thank
you
all
who
have
joined

tonight

some

going

Thank
you.
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
and
Council,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
this
evening.
My
name
is
Betsy
laforce
representing
the
coastal
conservation
League
at
131,
Spring
Street.
We
know
that
change
doesn't
happen
overnight.
This
is
especially
true
for
policy
change.
As
you
all
are
well
aware,
it
took
a
long
time
to
get
here
with
the
slab
on
grade
ordinance
before
you
this
evening.
Q
For
second
reading
many
diverse
stakeholders
were
involved,
we'd
like
to
thank
Council
and
City
staff,
especially
for
working
so
diligently
over
the
past
four
years
to
understand
and
support
this
ordinance
to
restrict
slab
on
grade
Foundation
types
for
single-family
dwellings
in
the
100
Year
floodplain,
on
behalf
of
the
conservation
League,
the
historic
Charleston
Foundation
Southern
environmental
law
Center.
We
respectfully
ask
that
you
support
it
again
swiftly
tonight
on
second
reading,
the
past
10
years
of
flooding.
Q
Events
have
shown
us
that
it
doesn't
take
a
history
of
flooding
to
be
at
risk
of
flooding,
especially
in
Charleston's
lowest
lying
areas.
So
how
do
we
accommodate
growth
without
exacerbating
flooding
by
being
adaptive
and
updating
policies?
When
we
know
better,
we
can
do
better.
So
passing
this
ordinance
signals
council's
ongoing
commitment
to
addressing
patterns
and
risks
associated
with
sea
level
rise
and
development
related
flooding
issues.
And
importantly,
as
we
know,
this
ordinance
also
complements
the
work
Council
has
put
forth
over
the
past
five
years,
including
the
formal
adoption
of
the
Dutch
dialogues.
R
Q
Q
S
Council
I'm
here
to
primarily
talk
about
another
item
but
before
I
get
started.
I
have
to
say
please
adopt
number
five
second
reading
item
no
slab
on
grade
or
controlling
slab
on
foundations,
as
you
all
are
putting
it
I'm
very
proud
to
have
been
part
of
that
four-year
process,
as
Miss
laforce
reminded
us
I'm
here,
primarily
to
thank
you
for
or
say
happy
National
Fair
Housing
month
and
National
attainable
housing
week.
I
was
very
glad
to
see
my
friends
in
Bali,
except
at
the
front
with
the
mayor.
S
I
wanted
to
just
bring
to
your
attention
a
probably
forgotten
connection,
to
those
great
words
that
everyone
was
affirming
and
saying
we're
going
to
step
up
our
game
on
bringing
housing
to
our
region
by
reminding
you
that
we
have
a
list
of
first
reading
ordinances
that
have
been
on
paper
going
on
a
year,
I
think
and
number
six.
It
has
been
deferred,
and
that
is
a
very
simple
ordinance.
S
That's
already
been
written
and
amended
to
update
the
city's
fair
housing
law
so
that
it
comes
into
substantial
compliance
with
the
federal
housing
law
and
that
becomes
the
next
Domino
to
play
in
what
we
all
thought
again
was
low
hanging
fruit
to
accomplish
out
of
the
housing.
Mobility

which
is
to
establish
a

They
say
this
evening:
I've
Heard
lots
of
City
Council
Members,
talking
about
how
world-class
our
city
is,
and
we
all
know
that
it
is
but
I
think.
Perhaps
we
forget
that
everybody
else
in
the
world
is
watching
us
and
they're
watching
you,
the
Seal
of
the
City
of
Charleston,
that
is
stamped
on
each
ordinance,
States
Ida,

T
T
There
is
a
coup.
There
are
people
coming
in
around
our
garden
Gates
and
they
are
trying
to
ask
for
little
change
here
and
a
little
change
there
against
the
rules
that
you
have
already
put
in
place
are
zoning
ordinances
in
particular
and
I?
Don't
know
about
you,
but
I
am
not
interested
in
seeing
eight
summary
buildings
next
to
two
and
a
half
or
three
story:
historic
gems.
T
U
Josh
Dix
I'm,
the
government
Affairs
director
for
the
Charleston
Trident
Association
of
Realtors.
You
do
have
the
slab
on
grade
policy
before
you
today,
and
that
is
something
that
we
worked
on
quite
extensively,
but
with
every
policy
there's
a
negative
consequence
and
as
we
continue
to
build
as
we
continue
to
grow,
we
need
some
reliable
policies
in
place.
We've
heard
today
about
affordability,
attainability
fair
housing
month.
None
of
these
things
can
be
achieved
with
the
current
development
approval
process
that
we
have
in
place.
U
All
of
these
policies
work
in
conflict
of
actually
reaching
attainability
in
Charleston
South
Carolina,
whether
we
like
it
or
not,
growth
is
happening
and
we
can
either
plan
for
it
or
we
can't.
We
either
want
a
more
resilient
Charleston
or
we
don't.
We
either
want
more
affordability
or
we
don't,
but
density
is
a
conversation
that
we
have
to
have
height
is
a
conversation
that
we
have
to
have
nimbyism.
U
It
waved
bye-bye
to
us
a
long
time
ago
and
is
in
the
rear
view,
mirror
we
now
allow
bias
and
personal
greed
to
drive
our
policies,
and
we
have
got
to
stand
up.
We
need
reform
and
we've
got
to
start
at
the
top
work
all
the
way
ourselves
to
the
bottom,
because
until
we
address
these
dilemmas
in
our
design
review
process
in
our
zoning
code,
we
will
not
achieve
affordability.
We
will
not
address
resiliency
and
we
cannot
improve
Charleston.
Thank
you.
V

If
you
look
at
it,
it's
in
McMahon,
Park,
James,
Island,
County,
Park,
Johns,
Island,
County,
Park,
James,
Island,
rec
center
and
bees
Ferry
Center,
that's
good,
that's
beautiful,
but
here's
the
problem
and
the
problem
is
West.
Ashley
alone
we
have
Forest
Park,
Diamond,
Park,
Bully
game
Park,
not
included
in
this
Easter
egg
hunt
that
the
study
sponsor
you
come
on.
V
Now
you
go
to
James
Island
Westchester,
Park,
Thomas,
Johnson
Park
was
not
included
in
this,
and
if
you
look
at
downtown,
we
have
mature
Park,
where
the
kids
from
Gaston
Greenville
to
entertainment,
Easter
egg
hunt,
nothing
was
there
for
them.
You
had
on
Martin
Park
with
River,
Court
and
Bridgeview
kids
were
to
come
to
nothing
was
there
for
them.
Then
you
look
at
full
of
someone's
small
Park,
where
we
got
two
public
housing,
ansonbara
and
Drake
sweet
public
housing.
C
W
Good
afternoon
how
y'all
doing
I'm
a
member
of
ccplc
I,
was
under
the
depression.
They
they
took
him
Edward
Jones
away
from
our
park
and
say
they
need
him
and
the
citation
Department
until
they
hire
somebody
else.
But
the
work
is
not
getting
done
because
we
don't
have
our
founder
a
ccplc
and
that's
not
right.
X
Yeah
new
mayor
got
another
wonderful
letter
written
to
another
friend
of
Ross
Pell
April,
8th,
he's
supposed
to
be
helping.
My
dad,
who
said
he's
helping
himself
and
his
friends
Ross
thanks
for
reaching
out
you're
gonna
get
a
copy
of
this
thanks
for
reaching
out
he's
going
behind
my
back
promised
to
my
dad
he's
going
to
help
him.
After
all,
the
traffic
in
the
neighborhood
has
been
jammed
through
my
father's
neighborhood
with
my
father's
yard,
and
this
is
a
response
we
get.
So
this
is
what
his
buddies
have
to
say.
X
My
understanding
was
Fairway
was
blocked
because
of
a
major
cut
through
that
does
exist
anymore
thanks
to
the
opening
of
the
connector,
so
the
cut
through
argument's
nonsense-
and
you
know
the
law-
are
you
going
to
obey
the
fair
housing
law?
Are
we
going
to
toss
that?
One
aside
too
I
mean
what
laws
are
we
going
to
pick
to
choose
and
say
I'm
going
to
enforce
that
law,
that
law
I'm
not
going
to
do
here's
one
of
my
favorites
I'm
familiar
with
the
vocal
minority,
somehow
another
on
emails,
I
got
tagged
as
the
vocal
minority.
X
I
just
came
home
from
combat
and
that's
what
I
got
known.
As
for
writing,
letters
saying
hey:
this
is
the
law
and
this
is
what
it
says
and
you
guys
have
unfairly
blocked
the
road.
Your
lawyer,
Mr
McQueeney,
told
you
the
same
thing.
A
temporary
blockade
is
the
only
thing
authorized:
a
temporary
blockade
for
35
years
now,
of
course
Mr
Appel.
But,
as
you
said,
the
roads
were
still
open,
but
they
had
trees
in
it.
That
was
ridiculous,
and
then
he
knows
my
dad
had
a
stroke.
Y
Y
Y
Z
Highlighted
in
the
cna's
final
conclusion
is
the
critical
need
for
Community
engagement
by
the
Charleston
City
Police
Department,
so
I'd
like
to
quote
a
partnership
with
the
key
Community
Partners
and
the
broader
Community
will
be
essential
in
assuring
that
required.
Changes
are
institutionalized
and
change
the
Department's
culture,
the
communities,
input
and
oversight
of
progress
in
implementing
the
recommendations
will
be
crucial
to
its
continued
success.
End
of
quote
three
plus
years
now,
since
the
final
report,
Community
engagement
has
not
yet
happened
optimistically.
Z
It
could
be
because
of
confusion
about
what
community
engagement
is
really
like.
When
we
first
began
researching
this
area
of
policing,
we
met
with
the
sheriff
of
Denver
and
he
shared
something
that
has
stuck
with
us.
He
told
us
it
took
him
some
time
to
really
understand
what
community
engagement
and
community
policing
look
like.
He
grew
to
realize
that
it
was
not
barbecues.
Z
Coaching
kids,
teams
on
Midnight
basketball,
but
true
Community
engagement
was
inviting
the
broader
community
in
in
to
write
the
Department's
use
of
force
policy
in
to
discuss
the
department
of
regional
disparity
data
in
on
collaborating
and
addressing
those
issues
and
in
to
agree
on
how
best
to
conduct
the
ongoing
Communications
between
the
community.
And
therefore,
we
would
like
the.
Z
C
And
those
were
all
the
speakers
that
we
had,
we
did
receive
some
comments.
This
is
just
a
summary
of
the
comments
received
by
citizens
who
have
not
already
spoken.
All
comments
were
sent
to
city
council
and
pulled
for
their
review.
Prior
to
the
council
meeting
Emily
said
she
was
a
resident
of
West
Ashley
and
urged
Council
to
support
the
Redevelopment
plan
for
the
old
Piggly
Wiggly
site.
They
did
not
need
another
gas
station
or
storage
unit.
C
The
staff,
Council
and
developers
had
put
much
thought
into
what
the
needs
were,
and
it
would
be
great
to
enjoy
an
evening
that
didn't
require
going
downtown.
Sam
Spence
said
the
preservation
Society
reiterated
its
opposition
to
the
rezoning
at
155
Meeting
Street.
The
rezoning
would
permit
permit
up
to
seven
stories
across
several
properties,
as
well
as
the
right
to
gain
an
eight
story
from
the
bar.
C
The
new
eight-story
building
would
be
built
just
18
feet
from
the
rear
of
three-story
buildings
along
King,
Street
dwarfing,
the
historic
streetscape.
They
have
a
very
serious
concern
that
repeated
approval
of
height
deviations
is
changing
the
character
and
human
scale
of
the
city,
and
those
are
all
the
comments
we
received.
B
B
Don't
we
take
every
item
separately
because
there
are
not
that
many
if
we
could
have
a
motion
to
approve
councilmember
Brady
to
the
Carolina
Art
Association.
First,
we've
got
a
any
discussion
on
that
council
member
Shea.
No,
no
I
know
that
no
okay,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
next
up.
The
tourism
commission
could
I
entertain
a
motion
for
Miss
Fort
to
be
taken
separately
and
I
thought.
That
was
the
request
from.
F
Company
Mitchell
I
I
have
a
question
Mr
Mayor.
Before
we
go
to
that
motion
kind
of
get
the
clarification.
Yes
and
your
staff
sent
me
this
email
breaking
down
the
names
of
the
current
members
of
this
tourism
commission
and
the
three
vacancies,
and
according
to
the
graph
that
I
got,
and
we
just
specify
as
to
which
vacancy
each
of
these
folks
are
fulfilling
one
says
tourism
and
then
two
of
them
says
Peninsula
resident,
but
it
doesn't
specify
which
seat
these
three
appointees
are
going
to
take.
Okay,.
B
AB
B
AA
No
not
to
approve
I
I'm,
not
going
to
support
her
right
now
because
being
on
the
council
for
years
I've
been
on
this.
She
was
fighting
these
the
tourism
in
the,
but
the
costs
and
Carries
ever
since
I've
been
here
yeah
and
we've
made
so
many
changes
to
that
and
every
year
it's
the
fight,
fight
going
on
and
I.
Don't
know
why
you
know
this
is.
AB
AA
AA
K
B
AC
C

D
D
Many
of
you,
not
all
of
you-
have
received
some
letters
disparaging
this
fort
and
making
some
statements
about
her,
which
I'm
just
going
to
tell
you
straight
up
right
now
are
not
true
and
I
would
encourage
you
all
if
you're
thinking
at
all
about
not
approving
this,
to
consider
the
follow-up.
If
you
were
to
take
a
heat
map,
a
heat
map
of
Charleston
and
the
hottest
place,
and
that
heat
map
for
tourism,
that
is
where
Miss
Fort
lives.
She
lives
right
in
that
corridor.
D
D
That's
in
a
letter
from
a
lawyer.
Shame
on
that
lawyer,
first
off.
Secondly,
the
carriage
industry,
which
apparently
some
people
not
all,
are
launching
this
attack
on
her.
Where
do
they
make
their
money
A
hundred
percent
of
it?
A
hundred
percent
is
on
the
peninsula
and
about
99
is
in
that
quarter
on
East
Bay
Street
people
who
don't
get
The
Medallion
to
go
on
the
East
Bay
Street,
Corridor
ripe
about
not
being
in
that
zone
am
I
right
about
that.
D
Mr
riccio
who's
out
there,
that
is
the
hottest
zone
out
there
for
Carriage
stores,
for
walking
tours
for
bus
tours
for
everything.
She's
qualified
the
fact
that
some
people
don't
like
her
is
not
a
reason
not
to
vote
for
her
at
all.
At
all,
see
I
know
her.
Personally,
she
is
a
reasonable
person.
She
and
I
don't
always
get
along
and
agree
on
things,
but
she's
always
committed
and
thoughtful.
Now,
after
I
received
a
couple
of
these
letters,
one
of
the
allegations
was
this
would
disrupt
the
tourism
commission
and
no
one
wants
her.
D
D
You
very
much
I
talked
to
four
members
of
the
tourism
commission.
Not
a
single
one
of
them
has
any
problem
with
their
being
on
there
she's
just
another
perspective,
she's
qualified
she's
dedicated
she
needs
to
be
on
that
commission.
There
is
no
reason
to
vote
her
off
and
if,
for
some
reason,
she
or
anybody
else,
anybody
else
goes
off
the
rails
on
any
committee
or
commission.
D
It's
like
having
someone
on
the
front
lines
in
the
Foxhole
will
not
let
them
call
in
and
tell
me
what's
going
on,
that's
what
she's
going
to
be
doing
and
then
make
your
recommendations
and
by
the
way
there
are
what
11
members
of
the
tourism
commission
that
make
recommendations.
They're,
not
a
policy
making
board
they're,
not
like
the
Planning
Commission
or
the
bar.
They
just
there
are
to
send
some
Communications
through
Mr
riccio
or
through
the
chairperson
back
to
city
council.
D
They've
got
no
authority
to
do
anything
of
substance
and
if
there's
some
idea
that
there's
some
subterfuge
of
the
carriage
industry,
let
me
just
say
this
I've
been
on
this
Council
for
13
years
and
have
been
very
supportive
of
the
carriage
industry.
Many
of
you
might
know:
I
lived
for
a
long
time
and
still
own
a
property
that
is
in
between
not
one
not
two
but
three
of
the
of
the
Carriage
Barns
and
have
been
supportive
of
them.
I
would
not
support
someone.
D
I
thought
was
going
to
go
in
there
and
just
go
and
undermine
all
the
work
that
we've
done,
but
I
am
supportive
of
someone
who
lives
every
single
day
in
the
middle
of
eight
million
tourists
that
come
here
annually
and
seize
with
her
eye
and
can
report
back
both
through
her
eye
and
on
behalf
of
the
people
who
live
in
that
hot
Zone
and
it's
a
Hot
Zone.
She
needs
to
be
on
this
commission
she's
volunteered
she's
been
foot
forward
vote
for
her
vote
for
her.
A
AA
F
B
F
Member
who
will
be
done
with
us
but
well
I,
got
the
same
letters
that
we
all
got.
I
talked
to
councilman
musikis
about
this
woman
and
find
out.
You
know
what
it
was.
The
outward
of
all
this
and
I
asked
for
this
information
from
your
office
concerning
this
makeup
of
the
Tourism
Committee,
which
would
and
I
must
want
to
make
this
statement
very
clear.
We
have
a
bunch
of
these
boards
and
a
bunch
of
these
commissions
and
I've
been
railing
against
what
sometimes
I
think
a
packing
of
these
boards
and
commissions.
F
Is
that
his
observation
as
to
the
qualifications
of
this
woman,
if
she's,
somewhat
controversial,
that's
okay,
but
I,
think
that
this
critically
important
that
these
boards
and
commissions
from
citizens
do
represent
a
diverse
cross-section
of
our
community.
That's
why
I've
been
very
particular
in
making
sure
what
slot
States
fill
in
to
make
sure
that
we're
following
those
rules
and
regulations,
so
I'm
going
to
support
her
based
on
council
member
seeking's
representation
to
me
about
who
she
is
and
what
she
represents.
AA
C
B
So
we
have
two
other
appointees
Andrew
Kuhn
Dana
Campbell
got
a
motion
to
approve
any
conversation,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
next
I
would
ask
Council
to
please
note
a
letter
you
have
on
your
desk
from
our
planning
department.
They
do
plan
to
come
to
the
Community
Development
Committee
and
to
the
human
Affairs
committee
regarding
our
board
member
appointments
to
the
bar.
However,
they
they
have
made
a
respectful
request
that
we
go
ahead
at
our
next
meeting
at
least
a
point.
B
One
alternate
member
to
the
bar
large,
because
there
is
a
question
of
having
enough
members
in
place
to
be
able
to
conduct
conduct
business
until
we
can
have
our
full
review
and
then
without
objection.
We'll
bring
that
forward
to
you
at
our
next
meeting
and
I
would
like
to
call
on
Mr
Summerfield.
In
addition
to
make
a
request
to
you
about
a
yet
another
citizen
committee
that
we're
forming
that
we
need
every
council
member
to
make
an
appointment
to
Mr
Summerfield.
Thank.
AD
You
Mr
Mayor
members
of
council,
my
apologies.
There
was
supposed
to
be
a
second
memo
in
addition
to
this
one
that
I
was
going
to
put
on
your
desk
today,
so
I'll
just
verbally,
announce
it
and
then
I
will
send
it
to
each
of
your
email
starting
next
week.
We'll
have
our
consultants
in
town
to
kick
off
the
official
start
of
the
zoning
code
rewrite.
AD
As
a
part
of
that,
we
would
like
to
establish
a
Citizens
advisory
committee
for
that
effort
and
as
a
part
of
that
I'm
requesting
that
each
member
of
council
submit
someone
that
they
would
like
to
participate
on
that
committee
as
a
part
of
our
citizens,
Advisory
Group.
In
addition
to
the
citizen,
Advisory
Group,
which
will
include
members
that
have
been
recommended
by
each
council
member.
We
will
also
have
other
advocacy
groups
and
organizations.
AD
Participation
on
that
technical
advisory
committee
to
help
guide
our
Consulting
team
and
our
staff
members
working
on
that
project,
as
we
begin
to
draft
what
the
new
zoning
code
for
the
City
of
Charleston
would
look
like
and
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there,
because
we
are
moving
forward
very
fast
with
that
and
I
apologize
that
that
memo
did
not
make
your
desk
this
afternoon.
You'll.
AD
R
Thank
you,
mayor
members
of
council,
so
you
all
should
have
gotten
an
email
last
week
with
a
copy
of
this,
with
a
memo
explaining
what
this
is,
but
just
to
briefly
recap:
this
is
memorializing
the
arrangement
we
already
have
in
place
between
the
County
election
commission
and
our
municipal
election
commission.
It
spells
out
the
rights
and
responsibilities
of
each
party,
it's
a
year
term,
with
one
automatic
renewal
subject
to
120
days
notice
for
termination.
So
we
would
recommend
that
you
approve
this
and
they're.
D
Council
member
quick
question
when
we
went
through
redistricting,
we
had
the
representative
from
the
county
here
and
there
was
some
conversation
and
representations
made
about
notification
on
our
redistricting
and
our
new
maps
and
that
it
would
be
notice
going
out
to
the
citizens
of
Charleston
as
to
now
which
district
they
live
in,
noting
that
more
than
half
of
the
residents
are
going
to
be
new
districts.
How
are
we
doing
with
that?.
R
On
the
website,
southcarolinavotes.gov,
the
new
maps
are
listed.
I
do
believe
it's
also
in
the
City
of
Charleston
website.
The
new
districts
are
noted.
I
did
speak
with
Isaac
Kramer
today.
If
we
want
the
postcards
to
go
out
physically
to
all
the
new
residents
that
would
be
affected
by
the
redistricting,
we
need
to
let
them
know,
because
it's
a
cost
of
about
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
get
done.
D
B
R
A
A
So
it's
doable
okay
tips
for
the
get
some
tips,
otherwise
folks
will
be
going
to
the
poll
okay
to
the
wrong
place
to
vote.
I
still
have
people
trying
to
vote
for
me
in
my
old
district
and
that's
a
long
time
ago.
I
guess
more
for
me
and
they're
angry
when
they
can't
right
right
it.
Yes,
but
you
really
have
to
give
them
as
much
information
as
you
can
try
to
change
it.
Otherwise,
it's
going
to
be
Mass,
confusion.
B
B
If
there's
any
doubt
of
the
matter,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
odds
of
it.
I
think
we
did,
but
that's
fine.
Next
is
an
update
on
our
city,
flooding
and
sea
level
rise
strategy.
I,
give
you
none
other
than
Dale
Morris
to
senior
policy
advisor
he's
our
chief
resilience
officer,
Dale
Mr,.
E
E
E
The
strategy,
the
29th
Street,
is
a
very
good
strategy,
but
you
are
again
constantly
updating
policies
and
and
updating
plans
and
Matt
is
implementing
projects.
This
is
a
lot
underway
and
the
old
strategy
from
2019
just
was
missing
a
lot
of
really
important
information
on
the
drainage
projects
on
Spring
Fishburn
on
the
low
battery.
You
know
it's
very
important
projects
to
show
what
we're
doing
yeah
the
the
projects
in
Shadowmoss
in
in
church
Creek.
E
What
was
going
on
there
with
with
the
buyouts
and
the
restoration
of
the
stormwater
Park,
but
that's
dialogue's
recommendations
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
but
also
the
cdcom
plan,
the
land
of
Water
Analysis.
This
is
a
lot
of
work.
That's
going
on
so
I
took
it
upon
ourselves
with
Kate,
with
Katie
McCain
and
Kaden
Casella
in
the
mayor's
office
and
with
a
very
young
person
into
to
the
student
section
who
helped
us
update
the
strategy.
I
want
to
thank
Mindy
Sturm.
E
She
provided
an
internship
to
us,
so
we
could
hire
Hastings
Merrick
last
summer.
Hastings
is
a
College
of
Charleston
graduate
student
in
Environmental,
Studies
sustainability,
Environmental
Studies.
She
taught
two
biology
classes
this
morning
plus
defended
her
thesis
this
afternoon.
So
she's
here
tonight
to
do
this
so
so
appreciate
that
and
I
want
to
thank
Amy
and
Matt
Amy.
E
Wharton
and
Matt
frauler
for
finding
a
little
extra
money
for
making
these
things
able
to
work
for
civil
longer
and
all
the
city
staff
planning,
stormwater
GIS,
Public
Services
did
a
lot
of
work
to
help.
Hastings
put
this
thing
together
for
us,
the
strategy
has
been
vetted
by
the
resiliency
sustainable
advisory
committee
and
and
buy
some
trusted
parties,
including
Susan
Lyons,
the
head
of
Groundswell,
who
also
has
a
background
as
a
journalist
and
when
you're
looking
at
the
strategy.
It
is
online
only
although
we
do
have
a
paper
document
for
you.
E
It
is
intended
really
to
address
the
common
questions
that
Bond
Raiders
or
citizens
or
stakeholders
or
businesses
coming
here.
Looking
at
Charleston
saying
what
is
the
city
doing
regarding
flooding
and
see
by
strategy?
Why
is
it
doing
and
where
can
I
learn
more
so
Hastings?
Will
you
run
the
city
council
through
this.
J
AG
So
hi
everyone,
I'm,
Hastings
and
I,
was
brought
on
really
for
three
key
tasks:
the
first
being
update
the
sea
level,
RS
strategy
with
the
latest
science,
the
biggest
change
being
that
14
inches
steel,
Will
Rise
by
2050,
and
that
was
from
Noah's
in
Tron
production
from
March
2022.
This
is
also
the
amount
of
sea
level
rise
that
the
city
is
going
to
assume
over
the
next
25
years
for
the
comprehensive
water
plan.
AG
That's
currently
under
development
next
was
to
collate
numerous
City
documents
and
web
pages
from
GIS
storm
water
and
playing
departments
that
explain
our
flood
challenges.
We
have
and
also
what
we're
doing
about
them
and,
lastly,
to
develop
story
Maps
that
follow
the
2019
strategy
and
contain
more
comprehensive
information
in
an
attractive,
Dynamic
and
easily
updated
format,
so
that
citizens,
businesses,
stakeholders
and
others
can
see
what
we
are
doing,
and
we
also
hope
that
this
can
help
City
Council
Members
communicate
with
their
constituents.
AG
AG
So
to
navigate
the
story
map,
we
have
key
topics
that
are
under
the
white
bar
and
so
those
are
like
the
main
key
topics:
there's
subtopics
in
the
blue
navigation
bar
and
then
story,
Maps,
embed,
slideshows
links
and
external
sites.
You
can
see
Caitlyn
kind
of
working
through
those.
So
if
you
click
on
a
link,
it'll
actually
take
you
to
the
city
website
right
there,
and
then
you
can
also
embed
different
websites
as
well.
AG
AG
The
next
would
be
the
Strategic
plan,
and
this
is
also
similar
to
the
2019
silverware
strategy,
update
where
we
have
infrastructure
governance,
land
use,
resources
and
Outreach
and
Partnerships
as
our
key
components
and
then
further
down
on
the
page.
We
actually
have
an
initiatives
chart
that
can
track
what
we're
doing
in
real
time.
AG
And
I
think
we're
going
to
work
to
update
that
this
summer.
So
next
we
have
our
sea
level
rise
introduction,
and
this
is
really
a
coalition
of
new
data
from
NOAA,
USGS
and
NASA
about
sea
level
rise
and
what
we're
going
to
see
for
future
projections,
and
so
a
lot
of
different
graphs
are
included
here,
as
well
as
some
different
resources
from
NASA,
USGS
and
NOAA.
AG
Awesome
and
next
we'll
go
to
the
infrastructure
section,
so
this
is
where
we
have
some
of
the
largest
projects
explained
in
detail.
So
this
is
under
the
direction
of
the
stormwater
department.
So
you
can
see
we
have
spring
and
Fishburn
drainage
project.
We
have
a
lot
of
the
different
updates,
we
have
overviews
and
we
have
a
lot
of
picture
and
Graphics
from
those
projects.
AG
Next,
we'll
go
to
the
governance
story
map,
and
so
this
one
includes
things
like
the
storm
water
design
manual.
That
was
a
really
Progressive
document.
We
have
links
as
well
as
a
description
of
kind
of.
What's
what's
so
Innovative
about
it
descriptions
and
summaries
of
information,
we
also
have
the
comprehensive
integrative
water
plan
and
we're
actually
going
to
have
our
future
updates
located
there
as
well.
AG
E
Thank
you
Hastings,
so
you
can
see
here
if
we
would
print
this
document,
it'd
be
about
over
100
Pages,
there's
just
a
lot
of
work
that
has
been
done
by
City
staff
and
others
to
explain
what
we're
doing
explain
why
we're
doing
it
and
to
Showcase
to
the
world
all
the
things
that
we're
doing.
This
is
a
very
important
document.
It's
also
collated
for
you
all
to
share
it
to
send
to
your
constituents.
So
we
do
have
a
one
pager
for
you
all
we
can.
We
will
send
to
you.
E
It
does
have
a
QR
code
on
it.
You
can
embed
the
QR
code
in
your
presentations,
which
I
will
start
doing
next
week
and
everyone
that
you
show
can
then
come
to
this
story
map
and
it
you
can
look
at
it
on
an
iPad
or
a
tablet
or
an
iPhone
or
go
to
websites.
This
is
a
really
important
document
and
the
last
section
we
have
up
here
again
following
the
2019
strategy
is
Outreach
and
Partnerships,
so
we
need
local
Regional,
National
stakeholders
and
partners.
E
We
have
a
number
of
those
working
with
us
I'm
in
constant
contact
with
those
folks.
The
mayor
is,
you
just
have
a
lot
of
friends,
helping
us
preservation,
Society
to
the
Natural
Resources
defense
Council,
the
conference
of
Mayors
to
many
more
so
this
is
really
important,
but
I
want
to
sort
of
wrap
up
this.
This
sort
of
summary
of
the
city
of
Hawaii
strategy,
for
you
is
you
know
one
of
the
best
Partners
we
have
here
locally.
Is
the
College
of
Charleston
they're,
a
tremendous
asset
to
us.
E
They
bring
all
kinds
of
really
smart
students
here,
young
adults,
to
learn
to
create
knowledge
to
create
services
for
some
members
of
the
community.
Hastings
came
last
summer
to
work
with
us
and
forests,
and
she
created
this
document,
and
this
is
a
living
document.
We
can
update
it
on
the
fly.
If
you
all
pass
something
tonight
on
slab
on
grade,
we
can
update
it
tomorrow,
so
it
is
constant
and
current
and
people
can
see
it.
E
AC
AC
I
think
it's
just
a
really
good
conversation
to
have,
especially
on
in
a
place
like
James,
Island,
I
will
say:
I
won't
name
names,
but
you
did
mention
that
James
Island
was
kind
of
the
top.
We
we
have
the
three
biggest
problems.
We
we
take
on
all
three
I
think
above
the
peninsulas.
Oh
right
right
tell
me
again:
James.
E
Island
is
a
tricky
spot
not
because
of
it,
not
only
because
of
its
governance
and
the
challenges
with
governance
there,
but
because
it
is
so
line,
solo
lying
and
you're
really
exposed
to
Coastal
storm
surge.
So
you
have
a
number
and
you
have
rain
bombs.
You
have
a
lot
too
so
yeah
James
Island
is
a
tricky.
E
AC
E
Put
yes,
we
can
I
will
send
it
to
you,
I'll,
send
you
the
QR
code.
You
can
snap
your
phone
and
we'll
send
you
a
link
tomorrow.
Okay,
it's
available
through
a
normal
standard
website
link,
but
it
runs
in
the
arcgis
program
which
makes
it
more
attractive
and
not
so
heavy
for
your
computer
to
snap
through
so
there's
a
technical
reason
why
we
chose
the
storyboard,
but
it
navigates
like
a
website,
but
it
runs
under
a
different
system.
So.
E
B
B
This
is
just
putting
all
this
information
of
things
that
we've
been
working
together
on
for
the
last
number
of
years
into
one
resource
into
one
place
where
you
can
not
only
see
what
we've
done
and
doing
and
and
have
passed
already,
but
as
Dale
mentioned,
you
know,
rather
than
print
something
and
then
next
week
it's
out
of
date.
We
we
have
it
digitally
now
to
where
we
it
can
be
easily
updated.
It's
a
living,
a
breathing
document,
if
you
will-
albeit
virtually
so.
Thank
you
all
for
this
amazing
resource,
good
work.
AF
A
E
A
B
R
Thank
you
mayor,
so
members
of
council.
This
is
the
second
round
of
opioid
settlements.
This
would
just
authorize
the
mayor
to
sign
those
documents
to
participate
in
the
allocation
agreement
with
the
attorney
general
and
I
just
want
to
happily
report
that
we
were
in
front
of
the
board
today
and
were
granted
approval
on
our
first
application
for
five
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars,
which
is
going
to
be
dispersed
amongst
police
fire
and
housing
actually
for
preventative
measures
for
opioid
matters,
so
good
news
that
just
came
today.
We
just
learned
today
this
afternoon.
Oh.
B
C
F
You
Mr
Mayor
the
Committee
on
Public
Safety
mid
yesterday
afternoon.
We
met
live
actually
and
we
had
several
amount
of
business
to
address.
I
was
a
little
bit
disappointed
in
the
lack
of
public
input
and
attendance
to
this
I
mean
I,
wanted
to
make
sure
we're
done
in
public
when
we
got
to
the
racial
bias.
Audit
update,
I'm
anyhow,
the
very
first
item
of
business
that
we
had
was
a
approval
to
submit
the
2022
fire
prevention
and
safety
Grant.
We
have
assistant
Chief
David
Griffin.
AH
Yes,
sir,
so
this
is
our
document
through
2026..
It
gives
us
the
roadmap
for
where
we
want
to
be
so.
We
focused
on
three
specific
strategies,
which
is
operational
excellence,
organizational
resilience
and
also
Community
engagement
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
that,
we
had
to
do
a
SWOT
analysis,
which
is
strengths,
weaknesses,
opportunities
and
threats.
So
from
there
we
created
a
safer
Charleston
is
our
vision
statement
with
our
mission
statement
being
excellent
people
providing
exceptional
service.
F
So
we,
the
committee,
voted
to
approve
the
strategy
after
the
fact
and
that
we're
going
to
have
more
of
a
dedicated,
Public
Safety
Committee
meeting
to
go
into
the
details
of
this
a
little
bit
more
deeper.
So
yes,
sir,
thank
you
for
that.
Update,
Chief,
appreciate
it,
the
other
items
of
business
that
we
approved
an
application
for
the
U.S
Conference
of
Mayors
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Actually,
this
is
something
the
mayor
mentioned
that
he
had
come
across.
F
This
money
will
help
us
to
gather
data
analysis
related
to
the
police
department's
racial
bias,
audit
and
give
us
a
design
in
the
public
dashboard
there's
no
match
with
this.
This
is
just
a
Grant
application
only,
but
we've
also
approved
that
as
well.
We
also
approved
a
mou
for
the
Department
with
the
Greenville
County
Sheriff's
Office
and,
as
we
took
up
in
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
as
adjusted
a
police
approval
of
a
continuation
application
for
Ed
Elder
Advocate,
and
we
adjusted
the
numbers
on
that
just
slightly
so
items
three.
AC
A
A
F
F
You
should
have
received
a
copy
if
you
have
it
of
the
slide
presentation
that
they
gave
us.
If
you
did
not
receive
it,
I'll
make
sure
you
all
get
a
copy
of
it.
So
we
went
through
where
we
are
with
this
audit.
A
couple
of
key
points:
I
just
want
to
bring
to
everyone's
attention.
We
had
this
discussion
about
benchmarking
and
benchmarking
is
a
way
to
sort
of
gauge
where
we
are
with
this
audit
and
how
we
prepare
ourselves
with
prior
years.
F
This
is
sort
of
a
tool
to
understand
how
we
sort
of
Stack
Up
on
things
which
stops
interactions
with
the
public.
We
also
talked
about
traffic
stops,
use
of
force
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
there's
a
lot
of
good,
interesting
statistics
in
here.
One
of
the
key
points
that
they
brought
it
out
is
there
is
a
disparity
by
gender
and
by
race
as
to
that
type
of
interaction,
but
that
necessarily
does
not
mean
that
the
disparity
equals
bias
in
and
of
it
of
itself.
F
So
this
is
an
ongoing
process
that
we're
working
with.
As
you
know,
we
also
approved
funds
to
hire
a
third
party
outside
auditor
to
gauge
where
we
are
with
all
of
this
I
can
get
into
more
details.
If
you
want
me
to
get
into
more
details,
but
that's
a
really
quick
summary
of
what
we're
able
to
accomplish
over
about
an
hour's
time
dealing
with
this.
This.
O
O
We
have
better
data
now
because
of
the
audit,
and
so
we're
happy
to
start
digging
into
them
and
being
able
to
try
to
tease
out
patterns
that
might
be
affecting
some
of
the
disparity
in
doing
what
we
can
what's
within
the
power
of
the
police
department,
to
address
them,
and
so
we're
looking
forward
to
having
more
to
say
on
this.
But
this
is
just
the
start
of
an
Engaged
conversation
that
we
hope
you'll
be
able
to
have.
You
know
once
in
a
while,
with
you
all
and
to
keep
the
public
informed.
B
B
That's
that's
right
and
and
the
prior
one
so
could
I
digress
just
a
minute
and
ask
Council
to
to
take
a
vote
on
the
on
that
item.
All
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposey.
Yes,
have
it
any
additional
questions
about
the
report
on
the
racial
bias,
audit
and
data
data
update
a
lot
more
ongoing
and
to
come
I.
O
B
AI
I
watched
on
YouTube
I
really
appreciated
the
effort
that
you
all
put
into
it.
You
know
I
I,
don't
want
anybody
to
think
that
we're
we're
not
all
in
the
same
team
here
and
have
the
same
goals
so
I
I
did
a
great
job.
I
just
didn't,
didn't
hop
on
and
never
want
to
mess
with,
Quorum
stuff
so
appreciate
it.
B
D
D
I
think
it
will
go
through
some
refinement,
but
what
you
will
see
is
that
it
opens
up
Transit
corridors
north
and
south
and
east
and
west
that
don't
currently
exist
in
our
grid,
with
one
exception
and
that's
Washington,
Street
it'll,
open
up,
Concord,
Street,
then
East,
West
and
and
I
think.
The
best
summary
I
can
give
you
all
is
both
they're
looking
at
both
the
land
within
the
confines
of
Union
Pier
and
the
Pud
as
well
as
areas
around
Union
Pier.
D
Outside
of
the
Pud
and
specifically
north
of
north
of
Union
Pier
Washington
Street,
and
to
me
one
of
the
most
important
portions
of
it-
is
East
Bay,
Street
and
East
Bay
Street,
not
just
south
of
Calhoun
but
north
of
Calhoun.
So
it
touches
on.
And
if
there
are,
some
adjustments
made
benefits
to
the
neighborhoods
to
the
north,
the
west
and
the
south
of
Union
Pier,
and
what
the
thought
process
is
and
it
will
take
some
intergovernmental
cooperation.
D
So
the
other
thing
is,
they
emphasize,
is
they're
going
to
be
thinking
holistically
and
complete
streets
wise
on
this?
That
will
not
just
be
for
cars
bike,
ped,
Transit
they've
met
with
the
BCD,
Cog
and
Carter,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
work
still
to
do
on
this,
and
our
technical,
Review
Committee
is
going
to
require
as
part
of
their
process,
traffic
studies
and
they've
looked
about
traffic
generation.
D
On-Site
grid
Generation,
all
of
those
things
and
the
numbers
initially
that
they
talked
about
in
terms
of
trip
generation
during
Prime
and
peak
hours
are
not
as
stunningly
large
as
you
might
think.
They
would
otherwise
be
I
think
they
told
us
in
the
morning
Prime
Time
on
and
off
Union
Pier
they're,
estimating
about
800
cars
an
hour
and
in
prime
time
in
the
afternoon
about
900..
D
Another
comes
rubberized
comes
either
in
a
car,
a
bus
or
something
in
between
so
the
net
effect
of
all
this
is
they
know
it's
going
to
create
mobility
issues
and
it
will
generate
traffic
and
traffic
count.
So
they're
going
to
take
into
account
of
that,
but
balancing
against
the
reduction
in
traffic,
it
will
actually
I
think
once
they
open
up
that
grid
be
very
beneficial.
So
it
was
a
good
initial
report.
It
was
the
first
time
we
saw
it.
D
There
was
a
lot
of
questions
asked,
there's
a
lot
of
answers,
given
some
of
the
answers
were
we'll
get
back
to
you
on
that,
and
we
invited
them
to
do
that
and
I
believe
that
they
will,
sooner
rather
than
later,
I've
seen
some
Communications
tonight
that
they're
interested
in
getting
back
here
pretty
quickly.
So
it
was
a
good
report,
we'll
make
sure
it
gets
generated
and
sent
theology.
So
you
can
see
the
mapping
that
they're
preliminarily
thinking
about
so
that
was
that
we
took
up
the
parking
meter
contract
approval.
D
As
you
know,
we're
going
to
change
the
meter
heads
on
all
of
our
parking
meters
downtown.
It
turns
out
to
be
about
1100
of
the
meter
heads
and
some
of
them
will
also
be
parking
parking
kiosks.
Instead
of
meters
we
have
1700,
plus
or
minus
on
the
peninsula.
This
went
through
a
rigorous
process.
It's
upgrading
our
technology
to
make
it
easier
for
customers,
and
also
easier
for
Mr
Somerville
and
his
team
to
track
parking
revenues
to
track
parking
compliance
and
all
those
things.
D
So
it's
jet,
it's
technology,
generated
I,
don't
believe
we
need
to
take
action
on
this
because
it
came
through
Ways
and
Means.
We've
already
approved
it,
but
just
so
you
know
over
the
course
of
three
years
the
investment
the
city
is
making
between
Hardware
software
and
maintenance
is
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
D
The
last
thing
we
got
from
Mr
Lawrence,
which
we've
asked
and
I
think
this
council
is
interested
in,
is
a
monthly
update
on
Upper,
King
Street
and
the
traffic
patterns
up
there.
It
was
a
brief
update
today,
because
we
had
a
long
meeting
they've
made
some
very
minor
adjustments
to
when
they
put
the
meter
bags
out
and
some
other
things,
but
status
quo
entity.
Things
are
going
well
up.
There
there's
been
no
change
in
sort
of
what's
Happening
up
there
in
the
negative
and
they
still
feel
positive
about
it.
So
that's
my
report.
AC
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
and
thank
you
Mr
chairman
just
quickly.
One
important
question
that
was
brought
up
was
cost
of
the
streets.
Just
so
everyone's
aware.
You
know
they
talked
about
the
Pud
and
how
these
streets,
some
are
state
right
now,
there'll
be
City,
so
I
think
that
was
an
important
question
and
we'll
hopefully
be
addressed
at
our
next
meeting.
Right.
D
And,
and
in
response
to
that,
we
have
been
working
through
the
whole
question
of
what
it
costs
the
city
in
general
to
own
streets
as
opposed
to
the
D.O.T
and
we're
still
not
where
we
want
to
be
I
know.
That's
been
a
great
interest
to
council
member
Gregory,
we're
working
through
that,
so
we
own
a
lot
more
streets
than
people
think
and
the
Pud
did
say
that
the
idea
was
for
those
streets
within
the
pub
to
be
dedicated
to
the
city
outside
of
the
Pud
and
particularly
State
Street.
D
We
do
not
own
that
I.
Don't
think,
that's
something
we
want
to
jump
into
anytime
in
the
near
future,
but
we
do
want
the
D.O.T
to
take
a
look
at
it
and
and
by
the
way
for
those
who've
been
here
for
a
long
time,
there's
been
numerous
studies,
reports
and
recommendations
to
reconfigure
and
commies
Bay
Street
over
the
course
of
the
last
30
years.
This
is
our
really
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
to
actually
do
it
absolutely
councilmember.
B
F
Just
a
quick
comment
about
about
presentation-
and
one
thing
that
really
hit
me
that
we
forget
about
is
that
the
way
that
this
port
is
now
designed,
it
does
cut
off
a
lot
of
north
south
east
west
access
through
the
peninsula.
It's
almost
like
a
a
wall
in
essence
that,
and
so
the
infrastructure
that
will
be
implemented
here
is
going
to
improve
a
lot
of
traffic
flow
opportunities
for
us,
so
I
was
I
just
attended
as
an
observer
and
I
appreciate
the
thoroughness
of
that
report
that
we
see
from
from
the
spa.
F
D
AF
You
Mr
Amir
Committee
on
Public,
Works
and
utilities
didn't
meet
yesterday.
All
actionable
Islands
passed
unanimously
and
I've
moved
adoption
and
Report
before
the
vote.
I
like
Mr
Fountain,
to
come
to
the
microphone.
So
you
can
explain
a
piece
of
work
that
I
know.
Councilman
Brady
has
actually
been
working
on
a
wonderful
grant
that
was
awarded
for
Barbary
Woods.
AJ
That
yeah
thank
you
councilman,
so
I'll
start
with
the
Union
beer
discussion,
so
we
did
install
a
check
valve
on
Washington
Street
near
the
entrance
Union
Pier,
it's
an
area,
that's
very
low
line.
Very
heavy
flooding,
I
hadn't
previously
been
checked
valve
because
it's
a
very,
very
large
outfall
pipe
60
inch
pipes
largest
check
valves.
We
install
they're
very
expensive.
AJ
We
did.
The
mayor
did
reach
out
to
the
state
Ports
Authority.
We
started
looking
at
this
to
see
if
they
would
be
interested
in
cost
sharing,
something
since
there's,
obviously
economic
benefit
to
them
from
access
to
their
terminal,
and
then
the
stormwater
Department
reached
out
with
mayor's
support
and
councilman
support
to
Charleston
Water
Systems,
who
often
supports
our
check
valve
installs
in
areas
where
they
see
ini
issues
with
their
sewer
system.
AJ
Basically,
as
you
get
flood
waters
entering
their
sewer
pipes
that
increases
their
service
demand
and
then
also
the
cost
of
treating
all
that
water,
so
they
have
an
annual
allocation
they
consider
for
us.
So
both
those
entities
agree
to
basically
split
the
project.
Three
ways
with
us
and
we're
able
to
get
those
valves
ordered
and
installed.
It
was
a
it
was
a
pretty
interesting
process
to
install
those
valves
underneath
the
pure
terminal
in
the
in
the
port.
The
port
was
great
to
work
with.
AJ
They
did
a
great
job
working
with
our
contractor
and
getting
us
good
clear
access.
So
we
ran
that
project
valves
went
in.
We
saw
evidence
of
significant
Improvement,
even
in
the
recent
flood
events.
This
weekend,
as
we
had
a,
we
didn't
get
quite
the
eight
four
Tides
they
originally
predicting,
but
we
still
ended
up
with
about
a
seven
7.8
foot
tide
we'll
continue
to
monitor
those,
because
there's
always
a
chance
that
we'll
find
an
additional
connection
that
wasn't
visible
with
those
lower
flood
levels,
but
we
so
far
so
good
on
the
improvements
there.
AJ
AJ
For
for
Barbara
Woods
we've
been
notified
that
they
intend
to
award
Instagram.
We
don't
yet
have
the
grant
agreement
document
to
accept,
but
this
is
the
South
Carolina
office
of
resilience.
This
is
their
arpa
funding.
They
had
about
50
million
dollars
of
arpa
funding
to
hand
out
across
the
state.
They
had
76
projects
that
were
applied
for
they
awarded
I'm,
going
to
get
the
exact
number
wrong
about
17
projects.
AJ
Barbary
Woods
was
notified
for
Award
of
4.6
million
dollars
out
of
that
50
million
dollars,
so
they
they
said
it
was
one
of
their
best
scoring
projects.
It's
a
great
infrastructure
project,
which
is
what
they
want
to
see
and
support,
and
it
also
has
a
pretty
significant
LMI
population
within
the
project
boundaries,
so
that
was
another
one
of
their
scoring
criteria
which
helped
us
do
well
with
that.
Grant.
Thank.
AF
B
And
of
course,
we
are
well
into
making
great
progress,
but
just
to
let
you
all
know
the
office
of
resilience,
they
were,
they
were
singing
in
our
Praises
y'all.
They.
They
really
appreciate
the
work
that
Matt,
Fountain
and
Dale,
and
all
of
our
professional
team
has
been
putting
forward
all
right
committee
on
ways
and
means
council,
member
Gregory,
as
amended
yeah.
B
B
B
Number
three
and
then
for
third
reading
and
ratification
promo
of
items
one
through
eleven.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
so
can
I
ask
somebody
to
do
a
little
filibuster
while
I
sign
up
yeah
I,
know
I
could
count
on
council
member
of
hell.
AE
There's
an
extremely
interesting
South,
Carolina
Supreme
Court
case
that
came
out
last
Wednesday
Wednesday.
It's
an
inverse
condemnation
case
involving
the
city
of
Folly
Beach
I,
encourage
all
of
my
colleagues
to
read
it.
There's
a
lot
of
implications
for
the
City
of
Charleston,
as
we
move
forward
with
our
zoning
code
rewrite
particularly
some
of
the
more
aggressive
or
Innovative
recommendations
in
our
comp
plan,
including
flood
base.
Our
elevation
based
zoning.
It's
like
a
31-page
opinion.
It's
probably
one
of
the
most
significant
land
use
decisions.
AE
You
know
in
decades
in
South
Carolina,
it's
really
really
worthwhile.
Looking
at
so
it
was
Folly
Beach
had
what's
called
a
a
merger
ordinance
which
basically
said
like.
If
you
look
at
the
gis
system
on
like
the
North
End
Folly
Beach,
closest
to
like
the
Coast
Guard
Station,
there
are
double
stacked,
Lots
up
there
that
used
to
be
underwater
that
were
now
made
into
land
through
all
the
federal
Beach,
renourishment
Activity
and
the
law
I'm
really
oversimplified
here,
but
the
erosion
has
gotten
so
bad
there.
AE
Over
the
years,
there's
been
so
many
attempts
at
renourishment
that
the
federal
funding
was
actually
at
risk
unless
the
city
took
certain
steps
to
prevent
development
of
those
super
Oceanfront
lots,
and
so
one
of
the
things
the
city
of
Folly
Beach
did.
Is
they
passed
this
merger
ordinance,
which
basically
says
that
if
you
own
both
double
stacked
Lots,
you
can
keep
whatever
you've
got
currently.
But
if
you
go
to,
if
you
go
to
sell
it,
you
can't
sell
them
at
separate
Lots.
AE
AE
If
you
have
the
backup
stuff
studies,
the
analysis,
all
the
stuff
we
heard
from
earlier
from
Dale
the
foundation
that
we've
been
setting,
that
the
courts
look
at
that
and
and
they
and
they
should-
and
it
demonstrates
that
local
governments
not
just
shooting
from
the
hip
that
we're
actually
regulating
for
a
genuine
serious
purpose
and
it
helps
that
inverse
condemnation
test.
So
it's
an
interesting
case,
it's
very
complicated,
but
it
was
a
pro-local
government
decision
by
the
South
Carolina
Supreme
Court,
which
you
don't
see
every
day.
Thank.
B
AA
Yeah
under
the
miscellaneous,
once
you
all
take
in
consideration
with
the
people
that
came
here
from
the
East
side.
Talking
to
the
petition
that
we
received
on
last
council
meeting
and
I
was
asking
the
mayor
had
his
assistant
to
look
at
that
very
seriously
and
looking
at
the
what
they
turned
into
so
far
as
with
the
Easter
egg
hunt
for
the
young
people
that
none
of
the
the
parks
in
the
city,
but
the
African-American
youth
goals,
too
was
included
and
I
would
ask
them
to
look
into
that.
Also.
AA
They're
talking
to
me,
they're
calling
me
about
it
and
I
said
I,
don't
know
anything
about
it,
so
they
came
here
themselves
and
so
I
need
to
look
at
this
very
seriously
until
he
wouldn't
come
back
up
again
over
and
over
again.
So
we
need
to
look
at
these
things
very
seriously
and
stop
making
sure
that
we
are
not
doing
any
separation.
