Description
City of Charleston Council Meeting - December 19, 2017
C
God
as
we
come
tonight,
we
thank
you
for
this
hour
that
we
assemble
together
X
on
it.
That
would
bind
our
hearts
and
our
minds
together.
Lord
have
we
deliberated
for
the
citizens
of
this
city?
Lord
Zhao
just
help
us
to
make
good
and
song
and
great
decisions.
Oh
god
bless
this
city.
Lord
bless
the
state,
Lester's
country
thought
of
we
celebrate
this
Christmas
season,
ordered
our
just
look
down
upon
those
that
are
less
fortunate
with
him.
Then
we
are
loaded,
our
just
bless
them
in
a
mighty
way
blessed.
C
Although
foreign
field
order
to
working
to
protect
us
and
our
military
lot
of
damages,
God
and
protect
them,
keep
your
arms
around
him,
two
more
for
us
than
we
have
to
ask
he's
in
all
indeed
blessing.
We
X
not
because
he's
worthy,
but
it's
in
your
sign
name.
We
pray,
amen,
I,
pledge
allegiance
to
play
a
United
States
of
America
and
to
the
public.
B
Amazingly,
we
don't
have
any
official
presentations
and
recognitions
this
evening,
but
I
would
certainly
like
to
recognize
that,
but
I'm
feeling
a
heck
of
a
lot
better
than
I
was
a
week
ago
and
I'm
very
thankful
for
that
and
I
do
want
to
share
with
everyone.
I
think
you
all
know
this,
but
if
there
were
the
unlikely
event
that
there
were
an
emergency,
we
have
these
two
exit
doors
down
here
and
one
in
the
room
to
our
light.
B
Do
not
use
the
elevator
if
that
were
to
occur,
and
we've
got
the
two
stairways
going
down
to
the
first
level
and
then
the
one
going
out
the
front.
So
that's
our
way
out
just
in
case
there's
an
emergency,
so
everybody's
on
board,
with
how
to
get
out
of
the
building
and
and
I
would
like
to
just
extend
to
all
my
fellow
council
members
and
and
to
our
citizens
that
are
here
a
month,
most
joyous
holiday
season.
This
year,
Happy
Hanukkah,
Merry,
Christmas
and
we've.
B
We've
we've
had
an
interesting
fun
and
sometimes
challenging
year
and
I
just
want
to
express
my
thankfulness
to
council
and
wish
you
all
the
very
best
holiday
season
this
year.
Now
we
have
some
public
hearings
before
it's
this
evening.
I
would
like
to
ask
citizens
when
they
come
forward
to
speak
on
any
matter.
B
First,
give
us
their
name
and
address
and
ask
that
you
keep
your
remarks
to
a
two
minute
limit.
Our
I
think
we
have
four
or
five
items
up
for
public
hearing
this
evening.
The
first
is
an
ordinance
regarding
redevelopment
projects
and
the
availability
of
affordable
housing.
So
mr.
Morgan,
or
is
anyone
going
to
make
a
presentation
about
this
matter?
Mr.
Lindsey,
maybe
not?
B
This
came
from
housing,
and
but
the
matter
in
front
of
us
allows
for
affordable
housing
to
be
an
eligible
expense
for
our
Cooper
River
tax,
increment
finance
district.
So
that's
what
the
matter
is
about.
I
got
that
right:
GM,
that's
right!
Okay,
so
would
anyone
like
to
be
heard
on
this
matter?
Yes,
sir,.
B
This
is
about
the
the
area
that
we
formed
called
the
Cooper
River,
the
TIF
district,
and
it
basically
runs
from
about
line
Street
north
for
five
or
six
blocks
and
over
to
Mars
and
Drive,
and
it
allows
us
to
be
able
to
spend
those
TIF
dollars
for
affordable
housing.
Okay,
yes,
sir
move
approval.
Would
anybody
else
like
to
be
heard?
We
have
a
motion
to
approve
this
is
for
second
reading
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes.
B
E
Sir
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
we're
gonna,
get
the
screen
pulled
up
here,
so
you
all
can
see
where
these
properties
are
number
two
and
three
are
essentially
the
same
potential
project
and
a
requesting
the
same
ultimate
zoning
category,
the
mu-2
workforce,
housing
on
both
of
them
I'll
show
you
a
zoning
map
in
the
middle
in
a
minute.
But
just
so
you
are
familiar
it's
on
the
10,
Society
Street
and
two
vacant
parcels
in
society.
E
It
would
be
rezoning
from
general
business
to
the
mu-2
workforce
housing
and
then
we
also
have
32
alarms,
which
is
a
vacant
parcel
on
Lawrence,
and
it
would
be
rezone
from
G
B
and
light
industrial
to
MU
to
workforce
housing
and
I
will
go
to
the
maps.
Now
here
we
go.
The
number
two
is
on
the
Left
number
three
is
on
the
right
and
again
you
all
might
more
commonly
know
this
parcels
on
the
left
is
the
old,
veg
even
site
here
in
Lawrence.
E
E
This
is
image
of
the
overall
zoning
in
the
surrounding
area
and
again
you
see
the
light
industrial,
that's
at
the
top
and
the
darker
color
and
then
the
G
B,
and
these
parcels
we
have
mu
up
at
the
Gaston,
Borough
Park
area
and
nearby
and
then,
of
course,
Anson
Burroughs
over
to
the
west.
The
sensory
5
comprehensive
plan
calls
for
this
area
to
be
part
of
our
urban
core,
which
is
where
you
would
have
the
densest
most
intense
types
of
developments
given
that
and
the
heights
that
are
in
the
area.
F
Good
evening,
I'm
Angela
black
Drake
I
live
at
28,
Anson,
Street
and
I'm
here
to
represent
Hannah
and
we'd,
like
for
the
record
to
say
that
the
historic
Anson
bird
Neighborhood
Association
is
pleased
that
the
southern
land
company
was
willing
to
engage
the
residents
of
Ansan
borough
over
the
course
of
the
last
year
and
negotiate
an
agreement
that
addressed
many
of
Hannah's
primary
concerns.
With
the
proposed
rezoning
and
development.
We
recognize
that
rezoning
is
not
conditional.
F
However,
an
important
commitment
made
by
the
southern
land
company
to
Hanna
is
that
assuming
approval
of
the
rezoning
request,
Southern
land
company
will
seek
to
defer
the
second
and
third
readings
by
City
Council
to
occur
within
30
days
of
closing
actual
property.
Closing
the
agreement
with
Sutherland
Company
was
recently
approved
by
the
membership
and
the
board
of
Hanna.
On
the
basis
of
this
agreement,
Hanna
does
not
oppose
Southern
land
companies
application
for
reasoning
for
surprise.
Thank
you.
Thank.
G
H
B
You,
sir,
will
that
make
you
a
young
bee?
Yes,
that
means
yes
in
my
backyard.
Okay.
Would
anyone
else
like
to
be
heard
so
and
I
will
for
a
risk
of
repeating
this
will
be
a
requirement
for
our
new
mu-2
requirements,
which
will
almost
double
you
know
the
the
affordability
component
of
our
mu-2
zoning
or
allow
the
developer
the
chance
to
pay
us
a
fee
in
lieu
which
we
can
invest
in
affordable
housing,
so
much
better
position
than
we
were
a
year
ago
since
council
of
paths
and
a
requirement
earlier
this
year?
B
I
Now,
and
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
point
out
is
it
was
some
question
as
to
whether
you
to
zoning
on
this
site
was
correct.
Zoning
sort
of
under
any
circumstances
of
development
and,
and
so
the
community
did
not
feel
that
under
sustaining
circumstances
would
be
located
within
YouTube.
They
felt
that
putting
it
on
YouTube
for
this
specific
development,
I
just
been
identified
and
outlined
by
the
current
property
owner
part
the
post,
bail
versus
having
the
contract,
and
so
there's
there
they're
not
opposed
to
it.
I
Based
on
the
plans
that
they've
seen
and
to
be
in
the
agreement
that
they've
got
with
the
developer
that
having
even
said
there
was
a
concern
whether
or
not
moving
this
project
forward
and
putting
this
zooming
on
here,
any
of
it
pelipper
decided
not
to
ball
with
their
proposal.
That
would
then
allow
for
significant
amount
of
misty
much
more
so
than
would
be
right
on
this
site.
So
that's
the
reason
why
we
asked
that
we
could
give
this
first
reading
and
that
in
the
cold.
I
Second,
third
reading,
the
pilot
is
closing,
so
it
allows
that
gives
the
community
a
little
bit
more
ability.
Actually,
to
guess
that's
a
protection
on
the
site
in
the
rezoning
standpoint
until
such
time
as
it
does
to
close
it
close,
but
otherwise
again,
I
want
to
that's
all
the
developers
and
willingness
to
meet
cap
down
numerous
times
and
met
with
me.
I
I
J
J
The
closing
process,
so
I
want
to
thank
councilman
white
took
a
lot
of
time
to
do
this
and
I
said
to
a
lot
of
those
meetings
and
I.
He
really
did
a
remarkable
job,
as
did
the
hint
in
Saburo
Neighborhood
Association.
So
this
looks
like
it's
gonna
fly
and
be
a
good
project,
we'll
just
have
to
see,
as
it
goes
through
the
closing
process
and
see
how
it
all
works
out.
So,
thank
you.
B
B
B
L
E
E
E
Is
a
piece
of
property
out
by
the
West
Ashley
circle
to
orient
you
all?
This
is
Glenn
McConnell
Parkway,
bridging
over
the
railroad
overpass
here
the
West
Ashley
Walmart
is
in
this
location
it's
actually
zone
on
a
piece
of
property,
as
in
light
industrial,
and
then
this
kind
of
mauve
color
is
the
general
excuse
me,
the
Gathering
Place
zoning
and
the
request
in
this
location
is
to
go
from
gathering
place
to
general
business.
This
is
a
site.
Here's
a
broader
zoning
map.
It
is
a
little
bit
clearer
and
sorry
oops
jumped
ahead.
E
E
It's
currently
wooded-
and
here
you
see
areas
that
are
designated
as
wetland
areas,
and
this
somewhat
corresponds
with
the
hundreds
of
floodplain
out
here
so
most
of
the
site
that
they
would
be
building
on
is
outside
of
the
hundred
year.
Flood
plain
that
of
course,
is
subject
to
the
moratorium
out.
Their
staff
and
Planning
Commission
were
comfortable
with
the
request
and
recommended
for
approval.
M
M
M
M
I
mean
because
you
know
that's
that's
like
one
bite
at
a
time
and
I
think
we
did
that
when
we
went
over
here
the
floyd
circle
too,
which
is
on
the
other
side,
I'm
just
kind
of
trying
to
try
to
get
my
bearings
on
what
what
we
trying
to
do
there
and
how
we're
trying
to
do
it.
We
haven't
talked
about
it
so
and.
E
I
think
in
general
the
hope
is
that
we
still
have
the
mixed-use
type
of
uses
here,
but
the
gathering
place.
Zoning
has
a
lot
of
issues
with
it
that
have
created
issues
not
only
with
adjoining
neighborhoods,
but
also
with
some
of
the
potential
purchasers
and
property
owners,
and
so
we're
working
with
them
to
come
up
with
zonings
that
work
the
best
for
their
sites,
but
still
create
this
kind
of
mixed-use
walkable
environment
that
had
always
been
envisioned
around
the
West
Ashley.
There's.
J
Well,
you
kind
of
stole
my
thunder
a
little
bit
there
mayor,
but
good
for
you
yeah.
My
question
is
I
mean
you
sit
there
with
the
West,
that's
a
circle
which,
from
Google
Earth,
if
you
look
down
on
it,
is
the
bullseye
for
all
of
the
problems
were
having
with
flooding
out
in
this
part
of
the
world.
We've
got
a
large
piece
of
property
which
mercifully
is
going
to
go
away
from
gathering
place
to
something
else,
but
my
question
is
sort
of
in
line
with
the
mayor.
J
J
We
don't
have
any
solutions
for
it
yet
and
this
that
nice
little
yellow
grid
that
you've
got
going
on
there
with
all
due
respect
when
we
have
the
next
storm
that
yellow
grid
will
be
over,
that
entire
piece
of
property,
the
whole
circle
area
and
everything
so
I
just
think
we're
getting
way
ahead
of
ourselves
and
with
the
whole
issue
of
flooding
in
every
part
of
the
city,
and
because
we
know
we've
got
large-scale
flooding
problems
here,
we've
spent
lots
of
money
on
a
study
that
tells
us
we've
got
problems.
We
have
no
solutions.
J
It
seems
to
me
that
any
rezoning,
any
zoning,
any
planning
we
do-
has
to
be
consonant
and
consistent
with
a
long-term
plan
for
relief
for
the
flooding
first
and
infrastructure
and
all
of
those
things
so
I'm,
not
a
huge
fan
of
moratoriums.
None
of
us
around
here
are,
but
we've
got
one
sitting
there
right
now
and
on
the
backside
of
that
moratorium,
I
can
tell
you
this
one
councilmember
is
gonna
be
around,
for
a
little
bit
longer
is
going
to
want
solutions
to
the
big
big-picture
problem,
and
you
know
we
go
rezoning.
J
Big
hunks
of
property,
with
no
real
plan
on
what's
going
to
happen
in
the
future,
with
flooding
all
over
the
place.
I
just
think
that
rezoning
individual
parcels
in
an
area
that
subject
to
a
moratorium
that
does
not
yet
have
a
long-term
solution,
is
just
getting
ahead
of
ourselves
and
is
not
good
planning,
so
I'm
a
vote
to
defer
it
or
I
vote
no.
N
Thank
you,
I
agree
with
everything
that
comes
with
the
sea
kings
just
said,
I
would
offer.
First
of
all,
you
all
are
gonna
get
with
the
general
business
owning
you're
gonna
get
an
apartment
complex
at
26
units,
an
acre,
you're
gonna,
get
an
apartment
complex,
because
every
developer
that
I
have
fought
so
vigorously
keeps
telling
me
that
there's
no
market
for
retail
and
commercial,
so
they
have
to
go
the
apartment
route.
So
take
it
from
me,
that's
what
you're
gonna
get.
Secondly,
when
are
we
gonna?
N
I
M
J
With
with
the
message
mayor
that
gather,
getting
rid
of
gathering
place
is
good,
I
agree.
We
need
to
do
that,
but
we
need
a
long
term
plan.
So
mayor
I,
don't
think
you
can
make
the
motion
I'll
certainly
make
the
motion
to
defer,
with
some
sort
of
directive,
that
we
need
a
long-term
plan
for
the
area
between
we
get
site-specific
on
rezone.
E
P
P
In
your
opinion,
as
a
professional
planet
is
unlimited,
more
dense
than
26.4
I
don't
want
to
either
that
I
mean
it
would
be
something
we're
gonna
kick
the
can
down
the
road,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
is
a
zoning
on
this
crop
in
property
owners
has
rights,
so
we
don't
defer
and
I'm
gonna
vote
for
deferral.
What
do
we
hope
to
achieve
on
the
other
side,
for
this
deferral.
J
Having
a
regional
plan
going
forward
for
flooding,
relief
and
land
use,
which
would
not
be
having
gathering
place
out
there,
but
you
can't
have
anything
there.
You
can't
gather
you
can't
build.
You
can't
have
anything
until
you
have
a
plan
to
move
the
water
and
that's
the
issue
for
me
that
we
need
to
be
thinking
large
scale
you
are
in
between
the
trestle
and
which
is
a
barrier
to
water
and
the
West's
icy
circle,
which
is
a
barrier
to
water.
That
is
a
massive
gathering
place
of
water.
J
So
my
complaint
here
is
that
we're
getting
ahead
of
ourselves
and
rezoning
before
we
know
what
the
long-term
plan
out
there
is
that
right
now
nothing's
happening
because
there's
a
moratorium,
we'll
figure
this
out
before
the
moratorium
is
lifted.
So
no
gathering
place
is
getting
built
out
there.
Okay,
just
let's
not
rezone
yet
because
we
may
rezone
to
something
we
regret
later.
We've
got
a
moratorium.
There's
no
hope
that
a
gathering
places
didn't
get
built.
We
need
to
have
a
big,
long
term
plan
and
that's
what
I'm,
hoping
and
actually
demanding
that
this
happen.
Oh.
P
J
P
P
The
previous
couple
of
meters,
you
talked
about
property
owners
right,
so
hey,
there's
their
rights
there
right
now,
I'm
just
again:
I'm
gonna
support
the
deferral,
but
I
don't
want
people
thinking
on
the
other
side
of
this
deferral
that
we're
gonna
have
a
long-term
zoning
plan
for
this
piece
of
property.
Unless
we
will,
in
the
by.
Q
R
Counsels
benefit
one
of
the
issues
that
we
you
will
be
facing
or
addressing
once
our
plan
Wes
actually
goes
before
the
Planning
Commission
and
before
here
is
that
one
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
is
exactly
this
issue
about
as
we
develop
into
this
particular
areas
of
West
ashes
that
flood
a
plan
to
address
flooding
issues,
so
I
think
will
be
because
my
math
teacher
would
say
simultaneously
together
at
the
same
time
as
we're
going
through
the
moratorium
and
considering
they
plan
that
council.
Member
of
seeking,
as
addressing
we'll,
have
this
for
your
councils.
R
Consideration.
That's
one
of
the
tenants
of
sustainability
for
Wes
Ashley.
This
particular
issue
about
flooding
and
storm
water.
Runoff,
so
I
mean
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
looking
at
and/or,
considering
how
to
address
that
particular
issue.
So
it's
gonna
come
in
front
of
us.
I
have
a
question
for
counsel.
P
R
Not
gonna
take
away,
and
but
I
think
that
our
discussion
is
a
very
healthy
discussion
as
to
what
we're
we're
zeroing
in
right
now
and
a
focusing
on
right
now
is
this
particular
problem,
because
it's
sort
of
like
you,
you
you
throw
a
pebble
into
a
pond.
You
cause
a
ripple
effect
and
that's
been
the
whole
problem.
I
think
I'm,
not
an
engineer.
I
think
that's
been
a
little
problem.
What's
happened
over
in
in
the
church,
Creek
Basin
is
it
you
you
create
one
problem,
treats
another
problems:
the
domino
of
faith.
R
That's
my
understanding
that
what's
happened,
and
so
we
just
got
to
be
stewards
of
this
in
making
sure
that
as
we're
developing
this
area,
which
is
the
land
owners
and
property
owners
entitled
to
do
that,
we're
not
creating
a
bigger
problem
that
we
have
right
now
and
that's
I
think
you
are
concerned
us
tonight,
but
the
points
are
well-taken
with
all
of
us.
Just
yes,.
S
Just
a
couple
of
questions
say
after
november,
the
moratorium
is
over
okay
right
now,
the
owner
wants
to
request
general
business
versus
gathering-place.
Yes,
sir,
the
owner
also
has
the
prerogative
right
now
to
pull
this
back
and
keep
the
gathering
place.
Yes,
zoning,
yes,
sir,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
we
have
less
control
over
the
density
that
can
be
built
on
that
property
under
gathering
there.
S
But
if
it's
not
gonna
get
us
to
a
place
where
we
can
decrease
density
I'm,
just
not
sure
what
we
get
for
and
how
long
will
this
comprehensive
plan
hey
and
whether
or
not
the
owners
are
willing
to
even
wait
for
the
results
of
that
because
they
don't
have
to
they
currently
have
a
gathering
place,
zoning
okay
of
which
we've
been
talking
about
trying
to
get
rid
of
for
the
last
two
or
three
years
and
I.
Just
don't
want
to
squander
this
opportunity
because
to
me
it
is.
E
M
E
T
Kind
of
dance
we're
doing
damage,
we
don't
hit
me.
We
keep
carving
out
this
gathering
place.
All
of
a
sudden.
You
don't
have
a
gather
in
place
and
you
end
up
just
like
you
did
overall
James
Island
with
a
piece
of
land
with
unlimited
density
and
the
developer
can
do
that
and
because
it's
zoned
gathering
place,
but
that
area
over
there
never
was
a
gathering
place.
At
least
this
one
was
at
one
point,
but
have
we
already
destroyed
that
I?
Don't
know
what?
Then,
what
the
total
is
well.
E
We
think
there
is
still
potential
there
to
do
a
good
mixed-use
development.
You
know
that's
walkable
that
has
residential,
that
has
commercial
all
those
types
of
things.
Of
course
you
know
a
lot
of
this
site
is
not
in
the
hundred
year.
Flood
plain
and
I
should
clarify
that,
so
there
is
a
portion
of
the
site
that
is
not
subject
to
the
hundred
year.
Flood
plain-
and
that
is
this
portion
here,
probably
half
of
the
site.
Roughly
that's
not
subject
to
the
moratorium,
so
they
could
theoretically
work
for
a
gathering
place
type
of
development.
I
The
agenda
at
all
at
the
last
meeting,
I
moved
to
defer
an
item
that
was
rezoning
to
the
GP
in
the
gathering
place
and
at
the
time,
was
to
defer
that
rezoning,
because
I
hadn't
even
spoke
to
the
developers
and
to
know
what
the
plan
was,
and
so
subsequently
I
will
tell
you
not
to
jump
to
our
head,
but
I
think
it's
appropriate
to
this
conversation.
I
did
meet
with
the
developers
and
capsule.
Well
suppose
this
point
here
exactly
they're
100%
with
that
question
building
apart,
that's
what
they
want
that
site.
I
In
particular,
it's
on
the
intersection
Clemens
Ferry
Road,
where
traffic
is
a
nightmare
and
they
only
have
a
right
end
right
and
they
could
do
three
four
hundred
apartments.
So
to
count
from
the
seedings
point.
Sometimes
we
have
to
tell
the
property
owners.
You've
got
rights
and
you
can
go
and
I
told
the
property
owners
of
this.
You
have
rights
in
the
gathering
place
and
you
want
to
do
development.
It's
a
mixed
use.
Work
live
development
that
might
be
right
at
this,
but
300
plus
apartments
is
not.
I
It
says
the
only
way
that
we
can
control
what
happens
in
some
parts
of
the
city
and
not
create
more
problems
that
we
know,
and
this
particular
wouldn't
blooding,
obviously,
is
another.
Sometimes
we
need
to
basically
tell
the
developers
and
property
owners.
You've
got
rights,
you
can
filter
those
rights
and
we
encourage
you
to
do
so.
If
you
want
to,
however,
if
you
want
to
do
something
different,
you
need
to
make
sure
that
whatever
you're
going
to
do
is
an
asset
to
the
community,
not
a
liability.
I
One
huge,
like
so
I,
always
say
that
in
the
end
up
skipping
ahead
on
the
agenda,
but
I
think
it's
it
all
ties
them
together.
As
I
said
before,
gathering
place
PP,
you
know
the
reality
is
it's
down.
Tony,
probably
it
does
eliminate
that
unlimited
density.
However
I
can
assure
you.
The
new
developer
is
going
to
develop
on
the
site
TV
right
now,
they're
not
going
to
because
they
can't
financially
I'm,
not
saying
you
want
to
make
these
modules
as
Laura
Traxxas,
City
unvalued
property
owners,
but
until
we
get
a
good
plan.
I
This
is
exactly
what
I've
told
this
property
owner
until
they
get
a
good
plan
of
dealing
with
infrastructure
and
traffic
at
the
intersection.
I
will
support
any
change
and
never
loud
clear
and
we
haven't
agreed
I
think
sometimes
we
have
to
be
able
to
sit
back
and
before
we
resume
things,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
just
sort
of
throwing
things
out
there
to
let
that
happen
we
do
need
to
fix
it.
I,
don't
know
what
the
answer
is.
Well,
it's
a
forty
four
million
dollar
and
all
quick
right.
I
U
M
Just
like
what
Gary
explained,
that's
right
in
right
now,
coming
off
of
West
Nile
a
circle
and
you
go
back
over
lemak.
Are
you
gonna
make
a
right
turn?
Then
you're
going
back
toward
town
you're,
not
going
back
toward
bestiary
room
to
get
in
there?
You
got
to
go
to
the
beach
Ferry
Road,
make
that
left
to
turn
into
West
last
a
circle,
another
flesh,
and
then
you
get
to
the
property.
I
mean
that's.
U
B
E
U
I
Well,
my
procession
again
with
the
developer:
you
know
their
intended
purpose
and
used
on
the
site.
It's
just
an
appropriate
based
on
the
existing
infrastructure
that
exists.
This
is
right
in
right
out.
They've
already
got
a
neighborhood
that
was
actually
under
development
before
the
Oki
changed
it
to
the
right
side
out
order,
that's
the
cleanest
railroad!
You
put,
you
know
for
500
vehicle
trip
today
on
to
that
intersection,
all
the
way
right,
the
only
way
that
they
can
turn
around.
If
you
don't
5:26,
is
gonna
bring
a
driver.
I
Do
a
u-turn
just
can't
it's
just
absolutely
impossible
and,
quite
frankly,
I'm,
not
sure
anybody.
We
fund
that
project
so
I
that
the
section
the
property
owner
had
no
answers
to
it
enough
that
they
have
been
trying
to
say
that
they
did
trying
to
figure
it
out,
but
they
have
no
answers
and
it's
not
to
figure
it
out
and
I
told
them.
I
think
this
is
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse.
If
they
want
to
develop
the
site
Beebe,
they
fully
to
do
something.
I
Highly
doubt
that
would
it's
not
feasible
to
do
it
when
it
this
time
trying
to
change
this
GP
without
a
solution
for
the
infrastructure
would
be
bad
policy
to
this
body.
So
I
simply
go
about
what
is
important
and
that
haven't
even
said:
I
know
they
deferred
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
human
drone
or
we
knew
the
back
then
and
asked
them
to
withdraw,
and
then
we
want
to
see.
I
E
B
V
D
Mayor
Jeff,
City
Council
mohammadi
trees.
You
know
this
is
a
great
month
December
the
month
that
Christ
is
said
to
be
born
and
what
I'm
hearing
from
you
all
with
these
prices
on
these
property
is
the
like
Mother
Mary,
when
she
went
to
the
hotel
in
the
end,
there
was
no
place
in
for
the
poll.
Y'all
are
running,
the
Pope
people
offer
the
planet
and
nobody
does
this
kind
of
thing
other
than
a
devil.
Thank
you.
Q
King
with
the
Preservation
Society
of
Charleston,
a
sort
of
lost
track
of
the
number
of
times,
I
think
we've
spoken
to
you
all
about
this
issue,
who
has
come
as
no
surprise
that
were
opposed
to
this
ordinance.
Amendment
the
Planning
Commission
Rezound
Lee,
said
no
to
this,
and
we
ask
you
please
do
the
same.
Thank
you.
P
To
several
members
of
the
Planning
Commission
after
this
and
I
was
told
by
several
of
them
that
they
wanted
to
amend
that
the
60%
and
was
told
that
it
could
not
be
I,
think
the
request
was
for
the
65%
override
or
50%
over
I
forget
now.
What
was
the
original
request,
a
simple
majority,
a
simple
majority.
They
wanted
to
move
it
to
60%
and
they
were
told
that
they
could
not
do
it.
V
Thank
You
mayor
just
further
for
the
record
staff
did
not
consult
them
that
they
could
not
make
a
motion
about
a
60%
or
otherwise
I
just
wanted
to
state
that
clearly
for
the
record,
there
was
a
lot
of
discussion
that
Planning
Commission
back
and
forth
about
what
the
different
positions
are.
But
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
that,
but
that
didn't
come
from
us
about
their
ability
to
make
a
motion
or
not.
T
V
P
I
believe
you,
mister
I,
believe
you
but
I'm
telling
you
I
have
several
of
them
telling
me
that
separate
from
one
another,
so
the
brain,
clear
clarity,
because
this
issue
is
not
gonna
go
away.
Okay,
I
can
get
in
my
stump
speech
about
how
unfair
75
percent
of
an
elected
body
has
to
be
present
to
override
a
simple
majority
from
an
opponent
body
that
we
appoint.
But
that
said,
I
am
asking
that
we
sent
it
back,
but
a
60%
override
requirement.
B
J
W
L
W
J
C
We
know
that
we
got
some
ordinances
on
the
books.
It's
going
to
have
a
hundred
years,
we'll
probably
one
of
them
I
think
we
need
to
we
need.
We
need
to
do
something.
Look
at
some
of
these
ordinates
and
some
these
laws
we
got
on
the
books
like
I,
said
we
need
to
update
our
rules
of
console.
Think
I
think
this
does
Council
and
some
of
your
workshops.
C
We
just
need
to
sit
down
and
think
about
some
things
that
we
need
to
look
at
and
what
we
could
do
according
to
state
law
and
what
we
could
do
according
to
Council
in
the
rules
of
concert,
because
if
we
don't
to
be
back
and
forth
doing
this
thing
next,
two
or
three
years
so
I
think
we
need
it.
We
need
to
update
some
things
willing
to
take
a
look
at
it,
but
this
stuff
here
right
now,
just
a
bunch
of
childish
stuff.
You.
K
A
K
Have
to
think
I
understand,
I
never
did
understood.
Maybe
Francis
can
tell
me.
Are
we
gonna
go
bye,
understood
that
you
have
a
lectures
official
here
and
you
got
appointed
position.
Officers
that
come
in
can
dictate
to
their
elected
officials,
because
you
can
override
us
all
the
time.
I,
don't
know
how
that
could
be
done.
I,
don't
know
what
kind
of
rule
that
we
put
in
place
during
that
time.
I
understand
that
I
never
could
understood
that
even
from
different
aspect
or
different
organization.
K
I've
been
involved
in
I,
never
see
that
the
people
that
we
appoint
to
be
on
a
committee
have
more
power
than
we
have
if
you're
looking
at
it,
and
we
are
the
elected
official
body,
but
they
can
come
and
tell
us
real
same
things
back
to
them.
We
are,
we
don't
want
it,
send
it
back
to
Council,
be
take
this
and
compensated
back.
You
can
be
sent
back,
it's
a
back
and
forth
thing,
but
I
don't
understand
how
they
can
happen
that
way.
I
just
don't
understand
it,
I,
just
maybe
Francis.
K
W
Councilmember
Mitchell
some
City
Council
at
some
point
in
time
passed
the
ordinance
it's
on
the
books.
Now
that
says,
when
the
Planning
Commission
has
a
record
negative
recommendation,
it
takes
three
quarters
of
the
vote
of
the
entire
body
to
override
it.
So
that's
that
just
that
ordinance
has
been
on
the
books.
I,
don't
know
which
council
that
came
in
under
and
we
find
ourselves
in
the
position
where
the
Planning
Commission
disagrees,
that
it
should
be
changed
and
it's
going
to
until
until
there
they
come
up
with
something
that's
they
agree
to
prettier.
K
W
You
you
you,
you
can
amend
an
ordinance
councilmember
Louis,
but
when
an
zoning
law
by
state
law
amendments
to
zoning
ordinances,
which
this
would
be
all
amendments
are
referred
to.
The
City
Council
excuse
me
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
a
recommendation
to
City
Council.
So
if
you
wanted
to
change
the
requirements
for
G
B,
you
would
have
to
send
that
ordinance
to
to
the
Planning
Commission.
They
would
give
you
their
recommendation
and
then
you'll
vote
on
it.
This
ordinance
about
the
supermajority
being
required
when
there's
a
negative
recommendation
falls
into
that
same
category.
W
P
Thank
You
mr.
mee
I
actually
want
to
follow
up
on
with
Councilman
Louis's
was
speaking
out,
good
counsel
about.
Can
we
get
the
original
ordinance
that
was
voted
on
back
in
the
1930s
because
I'm
still
to
the
point
to
where
and
and
even
get
illegal
together,
Attorney
General's
opinion
on
that
and
the
reason
I
say
that
is
because
I
agree,
obviously
that
an
elected
by
when
we,
when
you
looked
at
the
beach
company,
the
auto
from
the
beach
company,
it
said
that
City
Council
is
the
final
arbiter
on
zoning
issues.
Okay,
that's
75
percent
requirement.
P
It's
certainly
a
difficult
hurdle.
I
call
the
Municipal
Association
it's
on
nowhere
else
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina's
president
and
I
asked
them
to
see
if
they
could
find
where
it
was
anywhere
else
in
the
nation
I'd
like
to
see
when
the
original
council
voted
on
it.
When
how
did
they
ask
a
Planning
Commission
their
permission,
especially
if
they
were
setting
up
the
planet,
commit.
W
Well,
I,
don't
know
when
the
when
it
was
passed,
and
so
we
will
try
to
find
the
original
when
it
first
came
into
the
code
and
try
to
find
as
much
minutes
around
that
as
we
can.
But
I
think
what
you're
going
to
have
to
remember
is
that
if
it
was
done
as
long
ago
as
I
think
it
was
mm-hmm
that
state
law
was
different
than
so.
You
know.
P
P
Now
how's
that
vote
gonna
go
gentlemen
and
lady
how's
that
book
gonna
go,
we
and
Councilman
Lewis
is
correct.
It
has
been.
It
has
been
a
game
going
back
and
forth.
It's
a
tug
of
war
of
preferences
and
the
fact
is,
it
happens,
no
way
else
in
America
and
of
course,
we
said
well
we're
Charleston
we're
different,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
were
different
in
Charleston
that
were
incorrect
and
we
know
what
you
one
of
them.
P
I
can
call
out,
first
and
foremost,
but
a
75%
rule
where
that
doesn't
even
present
itself
anywhere
else
in
the
nation
to
be
stubborn.
If
it
goes
to
court
eventually,
City
Council
will
have
to
answer
that
lawsuit
we've
actually
gone
to
the
point
to
where
a
Planning
Commission
came
up
with
their
own
ordinance
and
voted
on
it
and
sent
it
to
us
that
was
on
the
beach
cut
on
the
sergeant.
Jasper
I
never
seen
it
before
in
my
life.
W
Have
a
conflict
well
because
the
zoning
ordinance
which
some
City
Council
passed,
allows
the
Planning
Commission
to
make
recommendations
to
amend
the
ordinance
they
have
that
authority.
The
staff
often
brings
recommendations
to
the
Planning
Commission
on
behalf
of
applicants
or
on
behalf
of
this
council,
when
you
all
direct
them
to
do
something,
but
again
that's
if
that
is
a
power
that
was
lodged
in
the
Planning
Commission
many
years
ago,
that
they
have
the
authority
to
make
recommendations.
Well,.
P
P
If
we
didn't
come
up
with
the
supermajority
and
for
all
of
people
in
president,
a
supermajority
has
75%
of
13
people,
the
mayor
and
12
council
members.
We
can
pass
this
budget
with
a
quorum.
A
quorum
of
council
is
7.
We
have
7
people
present.
We
can
ready
to
vote
on
the
211
million
dollar
budget
tonight.
If
there
were
seven
people
present
here
today,
four
people
could
pass
the
budget
for
the
entire
cities,
but
to
override
the
Planning
Commission.
P
B
B

H

D
Evening
you
know
Moses
staff
turn
into
snakes
and
I
see
this
being
happens
in
here
with
the
staff
by
the
city.
The
staff
have
turned
into
a
bunch
of
snakes
and
the
staff
is
controlling
the
people
that
we
vote
for.
So
we
need
to
take
deep
into
the
community.
That's
a
shame
before
God.
They
don't
suppose
they
have
no
power
over
the
council
evening.
D
Philadelphia
is
the
City
of
Brotherly
Love,
not
Charleston,
and
it
is
the
number
one
city
in
America
and
it
is
the
holy
city,
regardless
of
how
many
tourists
come
to
Charleston
and
no
matter
how
much
money
they
spent
in
Charleston
will
never
be
the
number
one
city.
Charleston
is
a
city
that
is
ran
by
crooked
Jews.
I
should
say
the
crooks
among
the
Jews
and
full
adelphia
is
the
city
that
the
Holy
Bible
sent
a
message
to
about
the
Jews
being
the
devil.
You
have
the
verses
in
front
of
you.
D
It
is
no
accident
that
the
founding
father
chose
for
the
Deaf.
You
too
can
scrub
the
Constitution.
Also.
It
was
no
accident
that
it
was
presented
on
4th
of
July.
They
were
telling
you
that
you
are
a
liar
when
you
say
that
you
are
the
only
chosen
people
of
God.
The
Constitution
said
that
we
all
are
created
equal.
The
numbers
of
letters
in
Philadelphia
are
12
and
12
represent
leadership.
The
numbers
of
letters
in
Charleston
are
10
and
10
representing
consciousness.
Why
am
I
bringing
this
up?

G
Hello
batteries,
Bernie
savage
treat
and
gongs
well.
So
mr.
mayor
man,
council
members
as
a
member
of
God's
well
was
overthrown
on
member
of
a
soul
household,
of
course,
a
membership
as
one
common
denominator
that
unites
water.
There
is
no
geographical
partisanship
when
it
comes
to
water
and
flood
hazard,
who
asked
you
to
prioritize
all
resources
and
available
available
funding
to
fix
flooding
in
a
city?
Well,
what
we
are
grateful
for
the
other
waste
water
fee
for
drainage
fixes?
G
G
Please
pay
allocate
the
funds
that
were
appropriated
by
Wayne
means
and
city
council
meeting
to
the
seawall,
but
taken
away
for
beautification
and
other
projects.
There
will
be
nobody
no
duty
if
it's
under
water,
as
you
know,
in
a
deck
inadequate
funding
for
flood
mitigation
actions
and
prevention
will
cause
higher
flood
insurance
premium
to
all
properties
in
the
city
will
decrease
the
quality
of
life
and
value
of
properties
for
residents
living
in
abled
prone
to
flooding
and
even
risk
endangering
the
life
of
citizen
most
exposed
to
flood
related
disaster.
G
Q
Mr.
mayor
members
of
council,
just
a
few
quick
comments
would
like
to
second
the
comments
made
by
best
mr.
Bernier
of
groundswell.
We
very
much
appreciate
the
efforts
that
you
all
have
made
to
allocate
additional
resources
to
flooding
this
year
and
appreciate
the
incredible
challenge
of
of
squeezing
any
additional
funding
out
of
what
is
obviously
a
very
tight
budget,
and
we
just
encourage
you
that
you
continue
to
have
flooding
as
a
critical
priority
for
you.
Moving
fool.
I'm
also
want
to
speak
very
quickly
to
the
re-appropriation
of
the
hospitality
tax
surplus.
Q
We're
just
concerned
that
allocating
some
of
these
funds
for
non
tourism
related
items
is
is
problematic
from
a
precedent,
perspective
and
we'd.
Ask
that
you
maybe
consider
potentially
allocating
these
for
the
the
main
issues
that
we
hear
about,
which
are
flooding
and
short-term
rentals.
Lastly,
just
want
to
comment
on
something
that's
been
in
the
news
this
week
with
the
Ashley
River
historic
district.
Q
The
preservation
community
is
incredibly
concerned
about
what
is
happening
and
what
could
potentially
happen,
understanding
that
that
any
inappropriate
development
or
any
development,
quite
honestly,
in
that
region,
is
going
to
have
impacts
on
flooding
on
traffic
on
transportation,
and
we
would
just
strongly
to
urge
you
to
consider
doing
any
and
all
that
you
can
to
protect
what
is
one
of
the
most
important
and
fragile
historic
districts
in
the
city
of
Charleston,
and
we
would
just
ask
that
you
all
please
be
vigilant
in
the
protection
of
that
part
of
our
city.
Thank
you
very
much.
X
Scott
Anthony
six
Ambrose
alley.
Thank
you
for
your
attention.
I'd
like
to
declare
my
support
for
the
efforts
of
groundswell
but
I'm
here
today,
as
an
individual
there's.
No
denying
the
council
has
a
difficult
task.
Controversies
abound
sergeant,
Jasper
cruise
ships
526.
The
list
is
endless.
Just
mentioning
this
issues.
These
issues
stirs
an
emotional
response
from
pretty
much
every
resident
in
the
city
and
for
good
reason.
We
love
our
city.
We
want
it
to
prosper.
X
Unfortunately,
these
issues
often
pit
district
against
district
business
against
resident
tourists
against
local,
but
there's
one
issue
that
we
must
all
agree
to
prioritize
ever
any
other
and
that's
flooding.
Flooding
is
an
existential
threat
to
this
city.
If
we
do
not
fix
flooding,
none
of
the
other
issues
will
matter
regardless
of
district.
Every
decision
that
council
makes
moving
forward
must
address
the
impact
of
flooding.
Above
all
other
considerations.
Flooding
is
a
complex
issue
and
there's
no
simple
solution.
The
city
will
need
help.
X
It
must
make
a
concerted
effort
to
lobby
state,
federal
and
private
support
to
assist
with
the
costs
and
expertise.
That
said,
the
city
must
use
the
resources
available
to
do
everything
possible
to
immediately
prioritize
flood
related
problems,
making
a
mistake:
this
is
not
an
impossible
task.
Charleston
became
the
gold
standard
for
historical
preservation
because
the
citizens
mobilize
to
preserve
the
city,
let's
become
the
gold
standard
on
flood
mitigation.
Thank
you.
Thank.

yous
to

for
their

I

would

O
Here
on
251
Louise,
P,
Gardner,
Street,
November
28th,
the
Ways
and
Means
Committee
heard
first
reading
on
this
for
annexation.
There
have
been
no
other
readings
on
this
property
for
annexation.
Since
then,
it's
been
up
for
second
reading
two
times
and
has
been
deferred
both
times
tomorrow
at
five
o'clock.
He
has
managed
to
get
before
the
Planning
Commission
for
a
zoning
variance.
He
is
not
even
in
the
city
of
Charleston
and
I
would
like
to
know.
O
How
is
it
possible
that
summit
is
not
in
the
city
of
Charleston
can
get
a
zoning
variance
to
have
three
units
in
the
county
when
he's
been
told
by
the
county
that
he
can't
do
this,
this
is
improper
regulations.
I
have
fought
him
for
the
last
year
on
the
county
level,
this
property
owner
Chris,
D
Mattia,
has
used
every
trick
in
the
book
to
connive
his
way
as
far
as
he
has
now
when
it
gets
to
the
Planning
Commission.
Tomorrow,
I
asked
for
the
clamp,
Planning
Commission
to
defer
it.
Let
him
make
up
his
mind.
O
Does
he
want
to
be
in
the
city
or
not
not
to
use
City
Council
to
try
and
get
a
zoning
regulation,
so
he
can
have
another
apartment
in
our
neighborhood
we
are
are
for
everybody
in
my
neighborhood
is
r4.
It's
been
that
way
for
years,
I've
spoken
80%
of
the
property
owners
they
want
to
keep
it
are,
for
they
do
not
want
this
development
to
happen
in
our
neighborhood.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
made
comments
last
week
at
the
20
minute
mark
and
YouTube.
A
Z
Gentlemen,
I'm
Veronica
Goodrich
I
live
at
11,
Rutledge
Boulevard,
which
is
a
couple
blocks
off
of
Murray
and
I'm.
Also
a
member
of
groundswell
3
years
ago,
when
we
had
our
thousand-year
flood,
we
were
all
affected
by
this
water
that
continued
to
stay
in
our
neighborhood
for
quite
some
time
for
about
11
hours
or
more,
and
we
were
told
at
that
time
that
the
cause
was
a
barnacled
covered
flow
valve,
which
councilman
white
is
looking
at
right.
Z
Now
that
valve
was
removed
right
then,
and
there
it
was
not
functional,
and
three
years
ago
we
were
told
that
it
was
going
to
be
removed
and
it
was
good
and
a
new
ones
were
going
to
be
in
its
place
and
just
today,
I'm
walking
through
on
the
seawall
taking
my
dog
for
a
walk,
I
looked
down
at
low
tide,
and
this
is
three
years
later
and
I
noticed.
There's
no
valve
there
at
all.
Z
I
was
under
the
impression
that
there
was
going
to
be
a
replacement
and
I
was
hoping
that
any
of
the
future
plumbing
resolves
would
be
published
or
made
aware
so
that
we
know
that
some
action
is
happening
as
I
said,
I'm
sure
there
is
something
going
on,
but
it
was
a
bit
disheartening
when
I
assumed
it
was
already
three
years
later
taken
care
of.
So
this
is
again
just
a
small
concern
of
a
neighborhood.
Z
That's
inundated
with
flooding
and
flooding
problems,
and
we
see
certain
works
happening
pipes
going
in
here
and
pipes
going
in
there,
but
there's
just
not
a
consist
calendar
or
an
understanding
of
when
these
things
are
going
to
be
put
in
place.
So,
if
I'm
a
concerned,
citizen
and
invested,
consider
Tsin
to
properties
and
affected
by
on
both
accounts.
J
Mayor,
just
because
this
is
on
TV
and
I,
don't
I
got
to
respond
to
that?
The
valve
was
removed
and
it
was
replaced.
It's
that's
the
inland,
it's
underneath
a
very
large
manhole.
If
you
want
us
to
open
up,
we
can
show
it
to
you.
Mr.
new
is
here
who
oversaw
that
project,
so
that
valve
was
changed
at
great
expense,
the
city
very
swiftly,
and
it's
fully
functioning.
So
not
only
that
valve
there
was
another
valve
down
the
road
at
Lion
House.
It
was
replaced
and
we've
just
done
Ashley.
J
B
That
particular
valve
is
working
quite
well
and
gave
mr.
Newell
a
new
nickname.
In
fact,
when
I
met
with
him
recently
and
he's
mr.
check
valve
now,
he
is
he's
going
through
an
incredible
effort
to
test
various
locations
throughout
the
city,
not
just
out
Falls,
but
even
within
our
city,
where
we
have
intrusion
of
tidal
water
to
see
where
check
valves
can
be
successfully
deployed,
and
he
a
schedule
of
places
that
he's
checking
in
a
schedule
of
new
valves
that
have
been
ordered
and
are
going
to
be
put
into
place.
B
P
You
recognizing
me
several
minutes
ago,
mr.
Mohammed,
who
we
all
know
spoke
very
harshly
about
our
staff,
and
everybody
in
here
knew
that
that
was
incorrect.
Your
we
have
freedom
of
speech
and
you
certainly
have
the
right
to
say
that
mr.
Mohammed,
but
we
have
a
wonderful
staff
and
I'm
sure
the
mayor
and
every
council
member
around
here
knows
that
they
go
above
and
beyond.
P
If
somebody
came
in
here
and
spoke
about
african-americans
that
were
useful
about
the
Jewish
people
and
their
religion,
you
would
be
upset
and
so
would
I.
If
somebody
spoke
about
those
in
the
Muslim
faith
that
way
I
would
be
upset,
and
so
would
you
this
inflammatory
and
humiliating
language
to
me
is
tantamount
to
yelling
fire
in
a
movie
theater
and
we
all
know
that's
against
the
law.
P
We
protect
your
right
to
speak,
but
to
see
it
in
the
man
on
which
you
delivered
it
today
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
curtail
it,
and
if
we
can
pull
up
our
ordinance
on
that
to
find
a
way
to
do
that,
you're
graciously
mr.
mayor
gave
him
three
minutes,
but
to
be
able
to
take
a
verbal
beating
on
any
community
like
that,
and
my
opinion
shouldn't
be
tolerated.
P
You
can
certainly
deliver
your
disagreements
with
various
communities
and
various
religions
without
being
inflammatory
and
humiliating,
and
that's
what
you
were
today
take
what
you
said
and
apply
to
African,
Americans
and
African
Americans
and
see
how
proud
you
would
feel
if
somebody
spoke
about
us
that
way
it's
wrong
and
somebody
need
to
call
out,
and
obviously
mr.
million
I'm
sure
you
can
speak
to
it
yourself,
but
I
didn't
think
we
should
just
go
on
as
business
as
usual
because
that's
wrong.
R
AA
R
B
Comments
that
had
been
made
and
I
just
let
them
go
over
my
back
sometimes
but
I'll
share
with
you
just
Sunday
evening
here
in
the
city
of
Troy,
we
had
the
11th
annual
Hanukkah
and
square,
and
it
was
a
beautiful
service
commemorating
our
religious
freedom
and
the
joint
heritage
that
we
have
as
Jews
and
Christians
and
Muslims
in
this
city
of
being
able
to
freely
worship
and
respect
one
another
and
and
I
will
I
will
be
more
vigilant
in
my
gavel
moving
forward.
But
this
this
kind
of
language
is
not
representative
of
this
city
and.
B
T
T
All
of
us
are
responsible
when
we
hear
them
or
see
them
that
we're
called
to
task
are
called
to
account
for
our
speech
shouldn't
be
making
personal
mark
remarks,
insulting
language,
vulgarity
or
attacks,
inflammatory
language
speaking
about
another's
motives,
criticizing
past
actions
and
remarks
that
are
not
germane
to
the
to
the
irrelevant
to
what
we're
discussing
all
of
those
under
Robert's
Rules
of
Order
are
prohibited
and
it's
all
of
our
responsibilities.
Not
just
your
your
that's.
Why
I
raised
that
issue?
T
B
C
I
think
the
rules
are
I,
think
the
citizen
participation
period
has
set
up
for
citizens
that
come
and
address
council,
particularly
on
matters
that
they're
see
pertaining
to
the
city
of
where
we
could.
We
have
made
a
mistake
either
where
we
can
do
better
to
make
the
city
a
better
City,
but
not
degrading
each
other.
That's
not
what
it's
about
it's
about,
trying
to
get
a
point
over
to
help
the
city
appear
to
be
a
better
city
and
that
city
council,
no
whele.
C
We
are
doing
things
that
they
think
that
are
right
of
us
if
they
don't
think
the
something
right
address
that
students,
but
not
belittled
or
one
and
we'll
allow
this
to
happen
at
least
22
years.
I've
been
it.
You
know
and
I
know.
Sometimes
I
walk
out
this
City
Council
some
years
back
but
chance
of
my
to
where
we've
been
accused,
but
I
think
that
we
need
this.
We
need
to
kind
of
put
our.
B
B
V
You
mr.
mayor
and
I'm
waiting
on
my
presentation
to
come
up,
I
will
say
that
first
of
all,
this
is
a
project
that
has
been
a
collaboration
among
many
city
departments.
Fundamentally,
this
is
a
public
services
project.
Most
recently,
it's
been
looked
at
by
a
collaborative
team,
including
folks,
from
public
services.
Thank
you,
John
your
transportation
in
the
mic.
L
V
All
right
got
that
cleared
up.
A
lot
of
folks
have
worked
on
this
traffic
interpretation
parks,
and
this
comes
to
you
most
recently
from
my
department,
Allen
Davis,
and
the
design
division
in
my
department
done
a
phenomenal
job
leading
the
most
recent
studies
of
the
design
of
the
low
battery
seawall
repair
and
improvements.
Just
have
a
few
slides
to
show
you.
This
was
built
in
the
19-teens,
the
wall
itself,
as
well
as
the
sidewalk
and
good
portions
of
the
road
or
structurally
deficient.
They
need
to
be
replaced
there.
V
Their
time
has
come
and
we
began
our
collaborative
project
after
looking
at
our
former
proposal
for
how
to
rebuild
it,
which
included
taking
the
the
railing
of
the
wall
itself.
I,
don't
know
if
you
all
can
see
this
laser
or
not
where
the
rigging
is
right.
Now
you
know
that's
open
and
the
proposal
was
to
fill
it
in
which
would
give
us
about
two
and
a
half
feet
of
storm
surge
protection
higher
than
what
we
have
now
and
after
a
really
collaborative
project,
including
a
lot
of
public
outreach
and
online
survey
we
set
up.
V
We
went
out
to
people
at
low-battery
Allen
set
up
at
the
farmers
markets.
We
really
engaged
a
lot
of
folks
and
got
a
lot
of
input.
After
studying
this,
we
we
really
felt
like
the
preferred
design,
is
actually
not
just
a
fill
in
the
Sewall
itself,
giving
you
about
two
and
a
half
feet,
but
as
we're
gonna
have
to
rebuild
the
sidewalk
anyway
to
elevate
the
platform
of
the
sidewalk
up
by
about
two
and
a
half
feet,
and
then
you
would
have
potentially
another
two
and
a
half
feet
of
seawall
protection
in
the
railing
itself.
V
But
it
can
get
us
up
to
five
feet
of
future
storm
surge
protection,
which
we
think
is
a
prudent
investment
of
our
money
and
in
terms
of
our
next
step.
So
I,
don't
know
why
this
slide
is
off
center.
We've
completed
this
sort
of
collaborative
design,
study
and
outreach
period,
and
our
next
steps
are
engineering
bidding
and
the
first
phase
construction
of
the
repair
and
improvements,
and
so
with
that
I'll
open
it
for
questions.
N
You
mr.
Lindsay
I
know
this
is
not
a
subject
for
a
lot
of
discussion
tonight.
This
was
just
a
presentation
and
certainly
it's
not
going
to
be
voted
upon
because
I'm,
actually,
the
one
who
asked
for
this
and
what
what
I
had
been
getting
out
was
this,
as
opposed
to
the
entire
White
Point
Gardens
plan
and
I
realized.
There
have
been
several
formats
for
that.
N
I
won't
have
a
chance
to
vote
on
this,
so
I
do
want
to
make
my
opinion
as
a
councilmember
and
as
a
citizen
known
to
this
body,
and
that
is
absolutely
keep
vehicular
have
access
to
White
Point
Gardens.
There
has
been
some
talk
of
blocking
it
off
and
having
it
nothing,
but
pedestrian
and
bike
oriented
I.
Think
that
would
be
a
terrible
mistake.
I
would
like
very
much
to
see
the
parking
retained.
N
It
will
probably
go
to
metered
parking
and
again,
that's
that's
on
I,
understand
that
perhaps
to
take
the
proceeds
of
that
and
apply
it
towards
some
of
the
repair
costs,
but
I
would
like
to
see
parking
retain
because
otherwise
it's
just
going
to
dump
into
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
and
make
things
rather
unbearable.
For
those
cities
and
keep
it
open
to
the
public
as
somebody
who
is
a
resident
of
the
city
but
does
not
live
on
the
peninsula,
I
relished
the
opportunity
to
go
downtown
and
park
somewhere
along
that
seawall
and
take
a
walk.
N
N
So
I
would
ask
you
all,
as
this
comes
for
public
discussion,
a
let's
find
a
place
for
restrooms
down
there
and
be
please
do
not
close
it
off
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
keep
it
open
and
keep
the
parking
so
that
those
of
us
who
don't
live
on
the
peninsula
still
have
access
to
our
portion
of
the
city.
Thank
you.
R
You
councilman,
we'll
listen
for
those
comments.
I
think
we'll
take
those
to
heart.
Like
my
question
was
I
say
to
design
this
low
batteries,
we
call
the
low
battery.
Do
you
have
any
reason
or
information
as
to
why
they
did
not
elevate
it
initially
to
the
same
height
of
what
we
call
the
high
battery
I.
V
Didn't
do
the
historical
research
on
this
part,
but
I'll
speculate
after
having
to
look
at
this.
For
you
know
a
few
months
now,
the
high
battery
itself,
you
know
the
where
you
make
the
turn
it
becomes:
East
Bay
Street,
it's
what
receives
the
the
stronger
wave
action
and
the
most
of
the
the
energy
that
comes
off
the
harbor
when
you
turn
low
battery.
R
V
P
Agree
with
counsel
lady
Wilson,
but
I.
What
I
do
think
we
should
come
to
is
a
vote
eventually
at
whether
it's
a
month
from
now
when
new
colleagues
come
to
council,
so
they
can
get
up
to
speed.
We've
got
several
options
out
there
and
I
think
we
need
to
put
them
on
edge
and
whether
it's
30
days
and
I
know
you
have
some
public
hearings.
Certainly
down
and
council
members
seeking
district
I
attended
one
and
very
interested
in
the
citizens
feedback
they
were.
P
They
were
a
one
in
unison,
on
whether
you
take
away
the
parking
or
not
I
found
out
very
interesting
how
some
of
the
people
that
lived
there
we're
encouraging
keeping
on
street
parking.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
shouldn't
be
putting
energy
into
three
options.
We
should
get
a
consensus
around
one
option
and
build
it.
I
agree
council,
member
seeking,
but.
P
One
big
thing
that
I
believe
we
can
work
through
may
be
a
tug-of-war
but
putting
back
bathrooms
down
at
the
battery.
There's
a
that's
the
option,
I'm
a
vote
for
when
I
vote
the
constituents
I
represent
for
their
tax
dollars,
putting
all
the
tax
dollars
down
there.
They
have
never
been
a
request
that
I
think
it's
in
the
paper
recently
that
there's
20
million
dollars
now
22
million
that
we
have
with
this
5.8
75
that
hopefully
will
vote
on
the
night.
P
Those
votes
were
unanimous:
okay,
councilman,
C
Kings
is
a
very,
very
good
councilman
for
his
district.
Downy
I've
maintained
that
out
for
a
number
of
years,
but
he's
gotten
those
youth
anonymous
bullets,
because
we
actually
agree
that
the
battery
wall,
the
high
battery,
should
have
been
raised,
and
we
certainly
agree
that
the
repairs
needed
to
be
done
to
low
battery.
But
we
have
not
had
a
chance
to
get
a
consensus
around
it.
Do
we
expand
the
green
space
as
proposed?
Do
we
keep
the
parking
or
take
away
the
parking?
P
Do
we
meter
the
parking
to
contribute
towards
the
cost
or
not
and
cost
the
subject
about
putting
restrooms
down?
There
has
always
been
taboo
and
I
think
we
need
to
call
it
out,
put
it
on
the
agenda
vote.
It
have
the
public
input.
Now
when
we
have
public
hearings
on
whether
we
put
restrooms
at
the
battery
or
not,
it
should
not
just
be
held
on
the
peninsula.
We
need
to
have
public
hearings
on
James,
Island,
John's,
Island,
certainly
west
of
the
Ashley
and
Daniel
Island,
and
get
input
from
all
of
the
citizens.
P
B
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
question
that
we
decided
upon
the
option
that
would
elevate
the
law
and
and
and
so
from
what
I've
seen
the
differential
and
spending
from
weather
after
you
lift
it.
You
have
this
much
green
space
or
a
little
bit
more
that
the
Delta
and
the
money
is
not
that
big
most
of
the
money's
in
elevating
the
wall
and
reinforcing
the
wall
and
building
the
wall.
It's
more,
the
structural,
you
know
build
building
that
that's
going
to
cost
the
bulk
of
the
money
and
also
just
for
everyone's
benefit.
B
We
are
already
at
a
point
with
that
decision
that
our
engineering
firm
is
proceeding
with
their
engineering
design.
So
we're
not
wasting
any
time
right
now
in
order
to
decide
about
the
parking
or
the
traffic
flow,
where
we're
proceeding
as
quickly
as
we
can
with
the
project
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
you
and
I
think
we're
close
to.
B
V
Sir
mr.
this
this
is
this
is
that
our
recommended
staff's
recommended
design,
and
we
we
did
look
at
the
idea
of
eliminating
the
roadway,
that
is
between
white
garden
and
the
battery,
and
that's
not
we're
not
recommending
that
we
took
that
option
off
the
table.
It's
I
mean
it's
kind
of
cool
from
a
design
standpoint,
I
kind
of
like
it,
but
we're
not
recommending
that
because
it
doesn't
work,
it
eliminates
vehicular
movement
through
there
and
it
takes
parking
out.
So
that's
not
our
recommendation.
So
we're
recommending
to
elevate
the
wall
itself.
V
S
V
V
V
V
We
end
up
with
the
same
parking
configuration
that
we
have
it's
just
flip-flopped
and
then
the
other
thing
that
I
would
point
out
is
that
we've
looked
a
lot
of
who
parks
on
the
water
side
of
us
have
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
students
at
the
College
of
Charleston.
You
have
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
working
at
the
food
and
beverage
industries,
and
we
are.
V
We
have
a
separate,
ongoing
effort
to
make
sure
that
we
take
care
of
the
needs
of
those
people
that
we're
gonna
work
with
the
food
and
beverage
community
to
get
Park
&
Ride
locations
established.
We
want
to
support
them
and
the
same
goes
for
the
College
of
Charleston.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
their
parking
needs
met,
so
we're
gonna.
Look
at
that
as
we
move
forward.
This
does
change
the
parking
configuration
on
the
side
and
Todd.
V
Good
question:
we
haven't
counted
every
single
one,
but
the
idea
is
that
if
you
look
at
the
total
utilization
of
the
space,
how
many
cars
are
parked
there
today,
it
should
be
the
same
after
this
conversion,
so
there
shouldn't
be
any
difference
in
the
total
utilization
of
parking
there.
Does
that
make
sense.
B
I
V
Question
so
we've
looked
at
that
we
don't
have,
but
I'm
gonna
make
sure
this
is
a
concept
y'all
can
see
from
this
couch.
We
haven't
it's
not
a
final
design
by
any
means,
so
it's
got
to
be
looked
at.
Our
proposal
would
be
to
take
the
northern
side
and
make
it
a
mix
some
resident
parking,
maybe
some
metered
parking,
maybe
some
free
parking.
Somebody
wants
to
come
down
there.
They
want
to
go
fishing,
they
want
to
go,
take
a
walk.
They
should
be
able
to
do
so
for
free
for
some
period
of
time.
V
Maybe
the
spaces
that
are
in
demand
have
a
metered
spot
on
them
should
be
a
mixture,
and
it
should
be
done
in
a
way
that
again
we
don't
want
to
exclude
anybody
from
this
part
of
the
city.
If
they
want
to
drive
in
here,
they
should
be
able
to
do
that,
just
like
they
do
today,
but
the
way
it
is
now
the
park
is
not
efficiently
used
about
half
the
street
has
no
cars
parked
owner.
I
What
you
do
with
Walt,
don't
100%
every
person's
made
that
comment.
So
it's
really
the
same
thing.
That's
what
Wilson
said
that
a
lot
of
people
would
drive
in
two
peninsulas,
not
just
service.
It's
not
just
people
that
work.
There's
a
lot
of
people
who
come
down
to
do
fish
down
there.
You
know
come
down
and
Walt
use
that
as
mom
can
be
able
to
engage
in
that
part
of
the
city.
J
Well
sure,
I
don't
know
we're
gonna
have
a
full
debate
about
it.
I
mean
I'm
happy
to
weigh
in
and
I
think
it'd
be
better
when
we
actually
have
a
design
that
Jacobs
puts
forward,
but
just
that
this
is
a
in
its
first
instance
a
repair
project
for
a
wall
that
is
not
failing,
it
has
failed.
We
must
do
this
project.
J
I,
don't
think
around
this
table
knows
that
we
don't
have
to
do
it
and
we
have
to
do
it
quickly
and
I
think
that's
first
and
foremost,
thing
that's
important
when
it
comes
to
the
land
side.
As
you
know,
we've
had
lots
of
these
public
charettes.
There's
been
a
lot
of
input.
I
do
think.
Traffic
flow
councilmember
Wilson
around
the
park
has
been
the
preferred
option
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
what
you
do
as
you
go
down
towards
the
Coast
Guard
just
so
you
all
know
from
the
point
to
the
Coast.
J
Guard
is
0.8
miles
exactly
point
eight
miles
and
currently
today,
between
the
point
and
the
Coast
Guard
Station,
there
are
214
parking
spaces,
214
every
single
one
of
which
is
free
in
perpetuity.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
parking
squatters
which,
by
the
way,
the
the
net
result
of
that
is
people
who
are
looking
for
access
who
come
from
not
miles
and
miles
away,
but
just
a
few
miles
away,
Johns
Island
same
zone
Danijela
to
come
along
the
battery
to
walk
to
fish
to
do
is
you
don't
have
access
to
it?
J
There
is
currently
a
number
of
cars
that
parked
there
for
weeks
at
a
time,
so
that
is
going
to
be
I'm.
Hoping
part
of
the
design
thought
process,
as
we
come
out
on
the
other
side
is
not
just
the
manner
in
which
parking
is
delineated
and
denominated,
but
the
manner
in
which
it
is
managed,
because,
right
now
it
is
completely
unmanaged
on
the
south
side
of
Murray
Boulevard
to
the
point
where,
during
Armagh
week
we
had
to
move
car,
we
couldn't
find
the
owners,
they
were
states
and
states
and
states
away.
J
So
it
is
just
so.
Everyone
around
this
table
knows
because
this
is
my
district
I
live
around
the
corner
and
spend
a
lot
of
time.
Thinking
about
it.
The
the
parking
aspect
is
a
huge
issue
for
sure
and
right
now
there
is
truly
no
public
access
parking
for
people
who
are
there
for
a
short
to
medium
period
of
time.
If
you
go
down
there
during
the
time
that
the
college
is
in
session,
all
of
those
parking
spaces
are
full
24/7.
J
Now,
when
the
college
goes
out
of
session,
there
is
parking
down
there,
but
it
is
essentially
an
overflow
parking
lot
for
the
college,
with
some
food
and
beverage
people
in
there
and
then
some
people
who
work
along
Broad
Street
if
they're
lucky
enough
to
get
there
in
time
to
park.
So
the
design,
the
other
thing
and
the
other
reality
of
this
project
is
even
though
it's
a
waterborne
project,
it
is
going
to
take
a
lot
of
landside
management
and
access.
J
If
you
go
down
there,
you'll
see
there
is
absolutely
no
there's,
not
a
meter.
There's
not
a
site,
there's
nothing!
It's
one
of
the
few
places
and
all
of
the
peninsula,
the
city
you
could
Park
for
free
forever
and
that
is
government
subsidized
parking
for,
among
other
things
at
college,
and
that
doesn't
work.
B
W
Of
council,
we
had
a
public
hearing
last
week
on
whether
or
not
to
close
the
portion
of
a
portion
of
shepard
street
west
of
meeting,
and
I
ask
that
you
not
take
action
because
trying
to
work
something
out
to
make
sure
that
the
charleston
water
system
was
comfortable
with
the
closure.
And
I
got
confirmation
this
week
that
they
are
so.
The
matter
is
back
before
council
for
your
action.
B
L
B
B
U
B
Compliment
of
moody
before
you
begin
could
I
just
make
a
comment
about
the
budget
which
I
was
in
here
last
week,
saw
y'all,
active
fun
first
meeting
on
a
number
of
budgets
and
I.
Just
this
might
have
gone
said
by
someone
last
week
just
wanted
to
share
with
you
that
Amy
and
our
joint
budget
and
finance
staff
matt
and
kathy
and
everyone
they
really
did
a
remarkable
job.
B
We
had
a
very
challenging.
We
do
have
a
very
challenging
budget
year
for
next
year
we
had
four
million
dollars
of
on
top
of
us
by
the
state
government
by
the
requirement
for
us
to
increase
our
contribution
to
the
retirement
fund.
We
didn't
have
the
greatest
year
on
our
self-insured
health
plan.
We
didn't
have
the
best
year
on
Hawkins,
workmen's
comp,
so
all
together,
just
those
three
items
added
four
million
dollars
to
our
budget.
B
In
a
time
when
we
really
needed
to
set
a
priority
of
looking
after
those
hard-working
employees
that
you
mentioned
a
little
while
ago,
councilman
under
wearing
because
they
do
work
so
hard
and
and
and
I
could
share
statistics
about
the
few
extra
employees
that
we've
added
over
the
last
ten
years.
In
the
many
many
many
additional
services
that
they
add
and.
C
J
B
Additional
citizens
that
they
service
from
everything,
from
picking
up
garbage
through
inspections
to
police
protection
and
fire
protection,
to
everything
that
we
do
so
there's
been
a
tremendous
impression
pressure
on
those
employees,
employees
and
so
the
goal
of
trying
to
give
a
cost
of
living
increase.
Adjustment
to
our
employees
was
so
important,
and
so
we've
been
able
to
achieve
a
three
percent
of
cost
of
living
adjustment
for
city
employees,
an
adjustment
for
our
pay
plan
for
firefighters,
which
has
been
a
long
time
coming
and
then,
after
we
did
the
3%
Cola.
B
In
order
to
achieve
our
goal
of
raising
our
minimum
wage
for
those
who
make
the
least
in
our
city,
we
elevated
their
base,
pay
just
a
little
bit
more.
So
we
got
it
to
$11.50
an
hour
for
our
hardworking
but
least
paid
employees.
So
those
three
things
were
a
top
priority
for
me
and
I.
Think
for
this
council
and
and
I
know
again
that
it
was
difficult
because
of
the
constraints
of
those
extra
expenses,
and
so
my
my
other
shout
out
in
addition
to
our
staff
is
in
fact
to
you,
because
we
weren't
there.
B
We
needed
your
analysis
to
help
us
look
at
this
budget
and
think
about,
even
though
it
had
been
scrubbed
think
about
every
expense
that
we
might
not
be
that
we
might
be
able
to
do
without
and
every
revenue
source
that
we
might
be
able
to
maximize
a
little
bit
and
and
collectively
or
very
helpful
and
collaborative
and
came
up
to
the
task,
and
we
were
able
to
achieve
the
goal
of
those
some
adjustments
for
our
employees,
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
all
this
way.
Thank
you.
P
S
B
S
AA
T
And
so
I
don't
have
that
sheet
in
front
of
me.
Whoever's
got
it
Phil.
Let
me
have
it.
There
were
six
or
eight
items
on
there,
but
the
the
ones
that
came
up
was
a
project
matter
in
capital
projects
and
a
grant
writer
for
crying
out
loud.
If
we're
not
going
to
try
to
go
out
and
get
some
money,
the
grant
writer
ought
to
pay
for
themselves
and
these
four
items
handed
up
to
about
three
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
dollars
these
positions.
T
Three
thirteen
I
think
350
yeah,
so
I
would
make
a
motion
that
we
amend
our
our
budget
to
add
those
four
positions
and
to
the
well
get
over
the
revenue
side.
We'll
need
to
pay
for
those
out
of
our
fund
balance
and-
and
we
believe
that
that
we
can
have
enough
money
in
our
fund
balance.
Our
we've
got
a
target
of
twenty
percent.
We've
got
a
lot
of
FEMA
or
repair
work.
T
That's
been
done
as
a
result
of
the
storms,
we've
deducted
all
those
expenses
and
we're
going
to
get
something
back
from
FEMA,
and
we
think
we
can
pay
for
those.
But
we've
got
some
critical
issues
that
we
need
to
get
started,
so
I
would
make
a
motion
that
we
amend
that
budget,
those
expenditures,
those
positions
and
the
revenue
for
three
hundred
fifteen
thousand
I.
P
C
B
So
yeah
and
to
me
I,
must
say
that
it
seems
like
a
no-brainer
that
we
need
to
fully
fund
this
grant
writer
because
we
have
so
many
flooding
and
drainage
projects
that
we
will
be
pursuing,
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
apply
for
each
and
every
kind
of
assistance
from
the
saving,
the
federal
and
even
private
donations.
People
which
is
gentle
so
I,
think
that
that
on
position
will
full
pay
for
itself.
B
So
I
would
respectfully
support
the
motion,
but
but
would
add
the
caveat
that
you
know
unless
we
have
other
unfunded
positions
or
savings
as
we
call
it
in
employees
or
receive,
or
have
certainty
of
receipt
of
reimbursement
on
some
of
these
funds
from
Matthews
and
in
an
ermine
that
we
actually
hold
off
on
the
expenditure.
Until
we
know
one
of
those
two
things
can
make
sure
that
we
proceed
without
having
to
use
any
reserve
funds.
I
Cool
money
and
that's
using
something
other
than
general
fund
that
go
into
it,
so
what
I
would
say
even
with
the
FEMA
dollars,
that's
still
at
one
time
replacement,
so
so
I'm,
okay,
with
supporting
moving
forward
with
the
caveat
that
we
ensure
we
have
those
funds
before
we
fill
the
positions.
However,
I
would
point
out
it.
We
need
to
be
very
mindful
that
this
has
not
become
the
norm
or
behavior
that
we
want
to
incur
annually
in
our
budgeting
cycle,
because
we
will.
I
L
J
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
I,
agree
with
councilmember
white
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
those
positions.
Funded
I
have
some
concern
about
ongoing,
recurring
positions
and
how
we're
going
to
continue
to
fund
them
going
forward.
So
again,
the
budget
process
begins
when
this
budget
process
ends
I'm
going
to
think
about
it
and
I
have
a
particular
question
about
one
of
those
positions,
which
is
the
grant
writer.
J
Given
the
fact
that
there
has
been
a
pronouncement
from
at
least
one
of
the
bond
rating
agencies
out
there,
that
being
Moody's,
that
they're
going
to
be
looking
at
our
budgeting
process
and
everybody's
budgeting
process
across
the
country
to
determine
how
we
are
preparing
in
the
future
and
planning
in
the
future,
from,
among
other
things,
sea
level
rise,
water,
inundation.
All
of
the
things
that
were
subject
to-
and
we
do
currently
possess
a
triple-a
bond
rating
and
we're
going
to
put
a
bond
writer
in
place
a
grant
writer
in
place,
which
is
a
good
idea.
J
We
should
have
that
what
department
is
that
person
going
to
be
working
in
and
what
will
their
charge
be,
and
will
it
be
something
that
we
can
make
sure
our
rating
agencies
know
that
we
are,
among
other
things,
taking
that
person
to
answer
the
call
not
just
from
our
citizens
but
from
the
people
who
give
us
our
credit
rating,
which
we're
going
to
need
going
forward
to
build
the
infrastructure
that
that
person
will
be,
among
other
things,
determined
to
focus
on
our
infrastructure
needs,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
flooding.
So.
B
On
budget
does
include
the
full
funding
full-time
of
our
chief
resiliency
operator.
I,
know
that
mr.
Wilbert
over
here
and
and
to
tell
you
the
truth,
that's
just
the
kind
of
thing
that
Moody's
is
looking
for,
that
we
are
insightful
enough
to
have
a
chief
resiliency
officer
and
to
be
looking
at
the
long
term.
Plans
of
resiliency
and
sea-level
rise
is
exactly
what
strategy
has
been
and
we'll
continue
to
beat
so
I
think
already
we're
ahead
of
the
game
in
terms
of
Moody's
requirement
and.
J
P
P
B
T
I
mean
if
we
don't
have
the
money
we
can
cut
these
out,
I
mean
if
we
don't
come
up
with
the
money
this
year,
either
through
additional
taxes
or
grants
or
whatever
we
can
stop
this
or
something
else,
but
those
things
we're
required
to
keep
funding
them,
at
least
for
some
time.
So
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
of
difference
here,
but
not
much
right.
Your
thought
and
your
your
perception
of
where
we
ought
to
be.
Is
this
bottle.
B
I
think
it's
on
yep
I
got
the
green
light.
Maybe
it's
far
enough
up
and
I
was
going
to
come
back
to
this
and
the
court
wasn't
with
you.
Last
week
we
have
our
community
assistance
monies
that
we
have
a
process
that
reviewed
by
staff,
and
there
were
a
lot
of
different
organizations
that
applied
for
assistance
from
the
city,
and
we
decided
at
our
workshop
a
few
weeks
ago
that
we
would
basically
cut
$65,000
from
that
budget
and
I
certainly
was
supportive
of
that.
B
Now,
as
it
turned
out,
you
know,
when
respectfully
we
have
it
a
good
committee
of
council,
you
know,
look
all
through
the
budget
and
and
they
they
went
through
those
requests
and
selected
some
some
losers.
If
I
may
say
they
cut
some
some
folks
out
of
the
budget
that
has
had
been
approved
by
our
regular
process
and
council
members
regularly.
I
had
wanted
to
pick
up
on
your
thought
of
you
know,
rather
than
since
we
had
that
process
and
I
felt
like
it
was
fair
and
had
been
reviewed
by
staff.
B
That,
instead
of
you,
know
selecting
certain
folks
that
that
would
not
get
any
funding
that
we
just
take
that
$65,000
across
the
board
and
reduce
everybody
by
whatever
percentage
that
is
and
and
I
just
felt
like.
That
would
be
more
fair
and
and
I
wasn't
here
last
week
to
make
that
proposal
to
you,
but
if
y'all
don't
mind,
I
would
I
think
that's
fair
and
and
and
with
all
due
respect.
B
You
know
if
a
different
group
of
council
members
had
scrutinized
that
list,
they
might
have
picked
different
organizations,
and
maybe
next
year
we
do
it
differently,
but
but
I
just
felt
like
that
would
be
more
fair
and
across
the
board.
At
this
point
it
would
cost
us
a
dime.
It
would
be
the
same
difference
if
that
makes
sense.
So.
T
T
So
I
mean
it
was
not
an
easy
process.
It
was
not
an
easy
process
and
I
grant
that,
and
sometimes
you
know
we
step
on
somebody's
toes
a
little
bit.
Hopefully
we
don't
stop
on
their
toes,
but
if
that
is
that,
if
that's
what
the
you
know,
the
council
wants
in
the
interest
of
getting
the
budget
passed.
I
really
got
to
be
sure
that
Amy
goes
home
tonight
with
an
approved
budget.
If
not.
T
B
AA
T
Only
thing
I
was
in.
My
second
is
I,
said:
okay.
Was
that
that's
amendment,
the
thing
that
I
wanted
to
wanted
to
kind
of
mention
I
want
to
really
pick
up
on
what
council
lady
Wilson
said
last
time
is
that
our
process
on
this,
some
of
these
a
tax
and
age
tax
and
these
community
investment
things?
We
really
are
going
to
have
a
problem
with
financing
a
lot
of
our
infrastructure
and
we
kind
of
need
to
start
looking
at
this
stuff.
T
AA
J
B
J
J
I'd
support
that,
but
I
do
think
it
needs
to
include
a
tax
each
tax,
a
budget,
a
portion
of
it
as
councilmember
shade,
has
been
working
on
and
talking
about.
So
it's
a
it's
a
lot.
It's
a
natural
place
to
start.
We
just
need
to
define
what
the
role
will
be
within
if
we
do
it
through
the
audit
committee,
what
the
role
will
be
and
how
we
can
have
a
subcommittee.
That's
a
working
group
to
bring
back
recommendations.
T
R
B
AB
C
Mr.
live
I
just
wall
she's
coming,
you
know,
financings
cool,
but
it
work
so
hard.
You
think
we
go
back
commendeth
budget
to
pilot
spray
that
61,000
that
she
just
saved
out
I
mean
what
holiday
trip
work
finance
to
death
already.
Nobody
will
send
them
back
to
the
budget
to
try
to
figure
this
thing
out.
I'm
going.
AA
B
O
R
So
I
just
think
that
we
witnessed
firsthand
this
informal
ad-hoc
committee
of
white
wearing
and
moody.
That's
what
they
going
back
and
looking
at
this
budget
and
coming
up
with
these
recommendations
and
and
I
just
want
to
be
sure.
But
it's
clear
this
is
your
budget.
Mr.
mayor
this,
you
said
the
priorities
for
the
city
as
to
what
direction
you
want
the
city
to
go.
This
is
not
tinkering
with
your
priorities
and
your
responsibilities
in
leaving
the
city
for
Don
this
budget.
R
However,
if
we
become
this
little
more
involved
on
these
issues
ahead
of
time,
we
we
have
an
opportunity
to
systeme
or
not
to
water,
down
your
authority
or
prerogatives
to
address
these
particular
issues,
and
here
we
are
tonight,
that's
it's
7:30
and
we're
we're
making
pencil
adjustments
to
the
budget,
which
is
fine.
We
need
to
be
doing
that,
but
it
also
can
address
these
other
concerns
that
councilman
Wilson
has
brought
up
to
us
several
times
as
to
how
we
spend
it
this
other
public
fund.
R
So
here's
an
opportunity
we
can
make
it
a
subcommittee
of
the
Finance
Committee
or
make
it
out
of
the
Audit
Committee.
But
somehow,
let's
craft
this
and
I'll
sit
down
with
our
legal
counsel
to
see
how
we
can
prepare
in
order
to
address
a
particular
area
so
that
were
there
were
assistance
to
the
to
the
mayor's
office
on
these
budgetary
issues,
because
the
city's
got
too
big
to
become
too
complicated
and
we
will
get
blindsided
again,
if
not
by
the
state,
on
this
issue
with
retirement
refinancing.
R
But
some
other
is
she's
gonna
pop
up
again
that
we
missed
need
to
be
on
top
of
this
a
little
bit
better
and
we've
did
it
and
I
think
we
we've
all.
How
did
everybody
on
the
back,
but
it's
been
a
a
tough
process.
I
know
for
the
finance
office
to
get
into
all
the
stunts.
So,
let's,
let's
look
at
that?
One
of
the
items
that
we
look
at
in
January
a
lot
of
proposed
ordinance.
U
AA
A
B
Let's
go
to
item
number
five,
which
is
regarding
a
parking:
dystrophy
cow
issuance.
I
must
say:
I
just
rethread
it,
but
I
got
our
letters
today
from
suikotsu
from
the
College
of
Charleston.
So
I
would
appreciate
any
update.
That's
come
from
under
sinkings,
or
any
of
you
may
have
on
this
issue
comes
on
the
movies.
S
AA
AA
T
T
J
Yeah,
that's
all
okay
with
me.
We
did
talk
today
to
present
McConnell's
office,
not
to
present
McConnell
directly
but
to
mr.
Patrick
and
have
walked
worked
through
this
and
there's
probably
more
to
come.
They
are
very
much
supportive
of
us
requiring
to
have
valid
student
IDs
for
people
that
are
here.
They
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
just
anybody
coming
up
and
saying
we're
here,
because,
as
you
know,
this
is
about
parking
in
the
residential
districts
and
the
math
is
just
this.
J
There
are
way
more
people
who
want
to
park
there
than
there
are
parking
spaces,
and
so
we
have
to
make
sure
we
meet
it
out
evenly
and
one
of
the
things
that
became
apparent
to
me
as
we've
gone
through
this
process.
I
got
some
emails
which
are
interesting
today,
one
of
which
was
me
and
my
eight
roommates,
all
of
have
our
own
car
are
gonna,
have
trouble
getting
parking
spaces.
J
Well,
yes,
we
that
we
have
to
make
sure
we
take
care
of
that
on
or
on
the
side
of
making
sure
we're,
not
over
populating
our
already
overburdened
parking
spaces.
So,
as
you
know,
we're
starting
our
parking
study,
I
think
actually,
mr.
Benjamin,
like
next
week.
This
was
not
aimed
at
any
particular
group
of
people
just
to
make
sure
if
you're
gonna
get
a
residential
parking
sticker
in
the
city
of
Charleston.
You
have
some
indicia
of
residency.
J
You
actually
are
a
resident,
and
so
I
as
the
chairman
of
the
committee,
who
brought
this
board
I'm
open
to
suggestions
to
make
sure
that
students
who
are
legitimately
living
and
paying
full
rents
are
active
at
the
College
of
Charleston
or
or
the
military
can
get
a
parking
space.
But
there
has
to
be
some
form
of
showing
that
you
are
active.
I
would
support
that.
It
must
be
active
because,
if
not
we're
gonna
have
all
sorts
of
problems
and
don't
we,
the
dormitories,
some
are
in
the
parking
districts
and
some
are
not.
So
if.
AA
L
J
Glad
you
reminded
me,
is
to
sit
down
in
the
next
two
weeks
with
you
and
others
to
talk
about
this
very
issue
of
the
burden
that
the
college
puts
on
our
parking
infrastructure
and
they
are
keenly
aware
that
it
is
a
problem
for
us
and
it
is
I
mean
it's
just
a
flat-out
pop.
We
just
don't
have
the
spaces.
So
if
councilmember
moody
wants
the
amendment
to
show
that
you
have
an
or-
and
it
is
an
active
student,
ID
or
military
ID
I'm
fine
with
that,
okay
and.
AA
J
J
B
A
P
You,
mr.
Smith,
so
the
part
about
the
valid
South
Carolina
vehicle
registration.
That's
going
away!
Yes,
okay,
good,
because
I
sent
three
kids
the
school
out
of
out
of
out
of
the
city
and
none
of
those
cars
were
in
their
name.
It
was
in
a
parent's
name,
so
they're
not
gonna
be
able
to
comply
with
that
one.
So
that's
as
unrealistic
that.
J
R
Councilmember
Shay,
so
I
was
ambushed
this
morning
by
my
daughter,
who
was
complain
about
her
boyfriend,
who
lives
downtown
and
saw
this
ordinance
and
the
digit
of
the
other
emails
I
was
besieged
with
became
a
hot
issue
in
our
family
this
morning.
I'm
glad
we're
addressing
it
I.
My
my
main
question
is:
when
we
talk
about
these
rental
properties,
are
we
requiring
a
certain
number
of
off
street
parking
with
this
property
as
well?
No,
and
isn't
that
something
if
we're
not?
That
is
that
something
we
need
to
be
addressing
long
term
as
we.
R
J
I
think
this
is
something
mayor
that
will
come
up
again
shortly
in
connection
with
the
short-term
rental
debate
that
we
have,
because
this
will
all
get
consumed
in
that
and
parking
will
be
a
central
issue
there.
So
we've
got
the
parking
study
coming.
We've
heard
what
the
call
to
Charleston
has
to
say,
although
the
College
of
Charleston
has
created.
Some
of
these
problems
is
going
to
have
to
play
ball
with
us
and
we've
got
the
short-term
rental
issue.
So
all
of
this
will
come
back.
J
B
J
A
J
N
A
U
P
J
B
B
A
B
C
F
B
B
This
this
matter
addresses
a
kind
of
coincidental
event
with
the
building
of
the
port
access
road
for
the
Hugh
Leatherman
port
terminal
that
when
they
remove
those
exits
and
entry
ramp
there
it's
in
the
northern
part
of
our
city,
close
to
the
southern
part
of
North
Charleston.
Obviously,
as
a
few
of
the
billboards
that
were
there
through
no
fault
of
their
own,
so
to
speak,
had
to
be
removed
because
of
the
SCB
ot
plans
to
build
the
new
port
access
road
I
understand
three
of
the
billboards
have
gone
away
and
I.
B
Think
two
of
them
were
able
to
legally
be
relocated
by
the
SC
do
t
because
they
were
so
close
to
where
they
had
to
be
moved.
But
this
this
matter
would
allow
those
I
believe
it's
got
down
to
three
billboards
would
be
able
to
be
relocated,
they're,
not
new,
and
it's
it's
a
little
contrary
to
what
our
standing
policy
is.
But
again,
there
was
no
fault
of
any
ones,
and
it
was
just
a
matter
of
of
the
right-of-way
acquisition
and
relocations
for
the
port
access
roads
so
on.
B
A
B
What
Amy
did
was
to
actually
change
the
non-departmental
total
and
the
total
gentle
government
fund.
She
changed
the
the
actual
numbers
to
reflect
our
amendment,
which
approved
the
budget
and
then
added
the
three
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
correct
and
then
to
just
redistribute
evenly
the
difference
between
the
communities.
B
AB
The
additional
positions
I
just
put
it
in
provision
for
salary
increases
right
now,
because
I
don't
have
the
breakout
between
personnel
and
fringes.
So
I
couldn't
do
that
so
I'm
hoping
that
now
you'll
just
give
me
permission
to
do
the
budget
transfers
later
out
of
the
provision
for
salary
increases
to
the
actual
departments.
When
we
get
the
correct
numbers,
yes,
okay
and
then
the
community
assistance,
each
of
those
will
be
reduced
by
twelve
point.
AB
AA
L
J
I
hate
to
sorry,
but
because
this
is
part
and
parcel
of
our
budget
discussions
last
week
and
it
doesn't
carry
forward
into
this
conversation
because
the
only
required
one
reading,
but
one
of
the
things
that
happen
during
our
budgeting
process
last
week,
mayor
Guerin,
now
you
are,
is
we
reconciled
a
couple
of
things,
one
of
which
is
we
reconciled
the
2017
hospitality
tax
budget
which
doesn't
carry
forward
with
this
budgeting
process?
That
only
requires
one
reading,
but.
L
J
The
500,000
we
put
into
an
account
to
pay
for
somewhere
in
the
future
underground
wiring,
either
the
Gateway
coming
into
Charleston
from
that
from
that
West,
a/c
or
in
all
of
us
say
it
wasn't
clear
how
that
all
came
about
to
which
I
objected,
because
I
think,
among
other
things,
the
allocation
of
that
$500,000
running
afoul
of
the
statute,
which
allows
for
the
distribution
of
hospitality
tax.
So
what
we're
still
talking
about
the
budgeting
process?
J
J
B
B
R
R
So
I'm
wondering
if
we
would
consider
miscibility
brought
this
up
last
week
and
that
I
decide
show
how
much
of
that
$500,000
in
the
median
impact
on
the
beautification
of
highway
17,
which
I
agree.
It
needs
to
be
addressed.
I'm
not
fussing
with
that
at
all
I'm,
along
with
other
parts
of
West,
including
Sam,
rittenberg
and
other
thoroughfares
and
gateways.
However,
it
may
be
prudent
for
us,
as
we
think
about
taking
that
money
and
redirecting
it
towards
issues
dealing
with
flooding
and
with
strong
water
runoff.
R
We
did
increase
vote
on
increasing
our
stormwater
fees
to
two
dollars
more
per
month,
which
is
gonna
generate,
is
essential
amount
of
money
for
yeah,
the
million
yeah
it's
cuz.
It's
gonna
have
a
huge
impact
on
on
on
that.
So,
like
my
motion
would
be
to
take
that
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
out
and
we
direct
it.
R
A
B
R
A
B
Back
to
motion
number
four,
which
is
our
revenue
side
of
the
house
and
the
bottom
line.
If
you
fill
in
the
blank,
is
the
buildable
to
be
appropriate,
is
212
million
two
hundred
and
eighty
two
thousand
and
three
hundred
and
six
dollars
correct
any
further
discussion
on
I,
don't
know
more
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
hi,
any
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
now
for
third
reading
or
out
of
the
gate.
Please
thank
you.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
all
in
favor.
Please
describe
any
pose
the
eyes
tablet
now
back
account.
R
B
R
T
T
So
we've
got
about
20
something
million
dollars
set
aside
for
that
we
put
six
million
dollars
for
for
tourism
dollars
in
this
year's
budget
or
2018,
and
we're
being
beat
up
west
of
the
Ashley
by
the
chairman
of
the
West
you
Commission
for
$500,000
to
beautify
West
Ashley.
That
makes
no
sense
to
me
well,
for
me,
you
know,
and
when
the
Commission
over
there
said
that
we
ought
to
be
putting
the
ground
the
wiring
underground
in
West
Ashley,
and
we
put
that
out
there
to
get
that
project
started.
T
R
Responded,
I'm
not
beating
out
more
than
anybody,
then
and
I
agree
with
you
last
week
and
with
this
council
that
we
need
to
address
the
beautification
of
highway
17
and
my
question
only
to
you
was
back
then
this
may
be
applied
to
other
parts
of
West
Ashley's
in
addition
to
highway
17,
including
San,
rittenberg
and
Old
Town
Road
I'm
not
do
not
want
to
take
away
anything
from
the
revitalization
or
the
beautification
of
West
Ashley,
because
we
need
it
and
we
need
it.
We
need
it
desperately.
R
My
question
was
and
bringing
it
up
was
whether
or
not
it
is
such
a
high
priority
with
with
drainage
and
stormwater
issues,
whether
or
not
it
would
have
more
of
an
immediate
impact
for
what
we
need
to
be
addressing
with
those
issues.
Instead,
the
beautification-
that's
that
was
my
question:
I
mean
I.
Certainly
the
the
as
I
mentioned
this
before
the
the
plan.
R
That's
gonna
come
before
council
at
some
point,
hopefully
in
the
immediate
future,
is
going
to
be
addressing
these
specific
issues
about
beautification
that
we
need
to
be
doing
and
I
don't
want
to
take
money
away
from
that.
That's
not
my!
My
purpose,
I
might
go.
I
want
the
record
to
be
clear
about
that:
I'm,
not
beating
up
on
anybody
who's
making.
This
bush
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
I'm
just
asking
whether
or
not
it
had
the
more
important
impact.
The
immediate
impact
would
be
on
those
other
issues.
That's
all.
B
T
Me
kind
of
address
that
I
I
actually
made
an
inquiry
of
one
of
the
officials
and
I.
Actually
I
got
a
response
back
I
wish
I
had
the
email
with
me:
I
can
get
it,
but
basically
the
response
was
that
they
were.
They
were
not
in
the
position
or
not
in
the
of
given
advanced
opinion.
So
I
don't
know
whether
we'll
get
one
or
not.
They
said
they
usually
just
deal
with
it
after
you
do
it,
and
so
I
mean
that
was
them
as
a
response.
M
B
We
get
money
from
SCE
every
year
for
our
underground
fund,
and
we
have
this
this.
This
list
of
neighborhoods,
who
have
signed
up
to
go
on
the
ground
and
they're,
not
ready
to
move
forward
so
I
believe
we
should
take
a
close
look
at.
How
do
we
add
commercial
areas
to
our
undergrounding
program
and
be
able
to
allow
people
who
get
permissions?
You
know
them
maybe
move
on
up
the
list
a
little
bit
but
anyway
well.
P
AB
P
Right
now,
how
much
money
we've
been
through
almost
a
year
of
meeting
with
the
hard
work
by
all
concerned,
name
even
particular
chapters,
how
much
money
was
requested
to
go
towards
anything
to
do
with
West
Ashley's
revitalization
in
2018,
the
Commission
recently
voted
unanimously
to
bring
it
forward.
How
much
money
are
we
appropriating
to
engage
anything
to
do
with
Wes
Ashley
from
the
Bible
ization
in
2018
I.
AB
P
P
And
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
ask-
and
this
is
a
time
for
me
to
ask
I-
was
gonna-
do
it
at
miscellaneous,
but
I
would
like
to
ask,
because
the
mindset
for
revitalization
mr.
mayor
is
gonna
have
to
change
from
where
it's
been
for
the
last
20
years.
So
you
didn't
have
anything
to
do
with
the
last
20
years.
P
Accommodation
tax,
money,
both
stated
municipal
as
well
as
age,
tax
monies
until
2015
100%
of
those
dollars
always
came
to
the
peninsula
initiatives.
Zero
went
west
Ashley.
So
what
I
am
requesting
is
a
simple
report
from
inception
of
the
each
tax
money
for
each
fiscal
year.
How
many
dollars
were
created,
I
mean
generated,
how
much
went
towards
Peninsula
initiatives
and
how
much
went
towards
West
Ashley
initiatives
and
the
same
thing
with
a
tax
money
from
inception?
How
much
money
was
generated?
How
much
money
was
placed
toward
Peninsula
objectives
and
how
much
money
was
placed?
P
West
Ashley,
and
let
me
tell
you
what
I'm
saying
we
have
roughly
about
30,000
people
in
the
city
on
the
peninsula.
We
have
an
excess
of
72,000
people,
West
Ashley
and
that's
not
counting
james
island,
certainly
John's
out.
If
we
are
going
to
revitalize
West
Ashley.
The
mindset
has
to
change
and
the
reason
I
said
that
is:
we've
had
people
who
have
been
trained
and
our
staff
to
spend
those
dollars
on
peninsula.
P
Only
if
you've
been
working
in
capital
projects
for
15
20
years
and
every
time
those
dollars
came
available,
you
would
request
for
needs
on
the
peninsula.
There
was
never
a
process
to
include
the
areas
west
of
the
peninsula.
We
have
pretty
close
to
now
almost
20
hotels,
West
Ashley,
and
what
we
were
told.
Not
you,
mister
man.
We
were
told
that
tourists
don't
go
West
Ashley.
The
problem
was,
nobody
was
thinking
systemically
on
initiatives
that
would
help
to
revitalize
West
Ashley.
P
AB
AB
P
Twenty
seven
million
eight
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
going
west
Ashley,
and
then
you
all
get
upset.
When
we
make
a
an
amendment,
we
are
not
spending
enough
West
Ashland.
We
have
a
five
another
way
to
prorate
these
dolls
because
between
110
on
Sam
rittenberg
and
not
being
able
to
access
a
tax
and
each
tax
money,
it's
not
going
to
happen.
The
peninsula
got
revitalized
with
you,
dag
money
grants
you
were
there
as
economic
development
officer.
P
They
got
we
how
many
chip
districts
have
we
had
on
the
peninsula?
A
couple
of
them
have
already
matured.
We
got
about
five
of
them
now
we
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
additional
TIF
districts
where
session
will
be
terribly
hard
to
get
the
school
district
to
go
along
with
you've
already
run
into
that
trying
to
create
the
one
that
we
have
now,
which
is
a
partial
tip.
P
N
You,
gentlemen,
I'll,
say
it
one
more
time:
we
need
to
get
a
handle
on
these
taxes.
I've
been
complaining
about
this
for
years.
I
can't
tell
you:
I'm
voted
against
the
accommodations
tax
most
every
year,
I've
been
on
this
council,
because
we've
refused
to
help
ourselves
regarding
West
Ashley
we
aspire
to
the
fiftieth
percentile.
We
think
of
grocery
store
is
economic
development.
N
That's
that's
our
standard
right
now,
I
challenge
you
all
to
elevate
the
standard
and
get
bold
and
think
big.
Instead
of
thinking
about
a
grocery
store
and
a
new
facade
on
a
shopping
center,
big
deal,
that's
not
economic
development,
and
until
we
make
some
some
very
fundamental
changes
with
these,
this
excess
money
that
does
have
allocations
for
Jordan.
N
We
we
allow
ourselves
to
be
bled
by
a
couple
of
things
and
every
year
they
come
about
in
this
budget,
I
mean
right
now
the
seawall
is
bleeding
us
I
understand
it's
a
project
of
some
urgency,
but
it's
bleeding
us
that
ballpark
leads
us
every
year.
When
are
we
going
to
step
up
and
start
to
create
some
remedies
to
address
these
things
and
dig
ourselves
out
of
some
holes
that
we
have
created
so
I'm
moving
forward?
N
I
challenge
you
all
to
do
that
if
committees
are
created-
and
there
is
any
kind
of
citizen
input,
I'm
right
here,
I
know
this
stuff
very
very
thoroughly
and
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
assist
you
with
it.
But
please
elevate
your
standard
quit
aspiring
to
the
bronze
all
the
time
and,
let's,
let's
do
something
big
and
bold
Councilmember.
M
R
Kathleen
Wilson
be
careful
since
you
volunteered,
we
will
put
you
to
work
so
be
what
don't
go
too
far,
but
I
just
want
to
emphasize.
That
would
would
count
them
moody
and
wearing.
The
saint
is
that
we've
got
to
have
adequate
and
would
not
have
that
adequate
funding
Wes
actually
to
revitalize
it,
and
hopefully
with
the
economic
development
that
we
have
over
there
to
the
standard
that
Kathleen
Wilson
is
talking
about
that
we
will
get
more
hospitality
in
accommodation
tax
coming
out
of
the
West
Ashley
area
as
well.
Okay,
so
thank
you
all
for
all.
B
W
It's
a
substantial
amount
of
acreage
west
of
the
Ashley
in
the
plantation
district.
The
maps
that
I
gave
you
show
where
the
location
are
both
of
these
lands
are
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
it.
But
but
the
purpose
of
bringing
these
forward
tonight
is
to
ask
you
to
accept
the
petition
and
to
provide
authorization
for
the
public
hearing
to
be
noticed.
