Description
City of Charleston Council Meeting 5/11/21
A
C
D
F
A
Here
and
both
council
members,
sacrament
and
gregory
expressed
their
regret,
they
would
not
be
able
to
join
us
this
evening
and
I
do
want
to
commend
councilmember
brady.
He
gets
an
award
for
attendance
in
the
furthest
location.
In
fact
he
chaired
a
committee
meeting
this
afternoon
and
he's
in
hawaii
poor
fellow.
I
am.
I
Thank
you
all,
dear
heavenly
father,
we
we
come
to
you
today,
probably
in
our
greatest
time
of
need.
We
need
your
help.
Lord.
We
need
you
to
help
us
find
peace
again.
We
need
you
to
help
us
find
love.
We
need
you
to
help
us
look
at
our
neighbors
and
realize
that
we
all
want
the
common
good.
No,
we
may
not
all
agree
on
everything,
but
we
all
love
the
city.
I
A
A
Is
well,
you
can
visit
a
zoom
meeting
from
hawaii,
but
I
still
think
the
hardest
thing
is
to
recite
the
pledge.
Houston
doesn't
seem
to
come
off
in
use
and
we
still
have
to
work
on
that
y'all.
Okay,
we
have
a
few
presentations
and
recognitions
this
evening.
The
first
up
is
a
proclamation
recognizing
that
this
is
national
police
week.
A
It's
important
that
all
citizens
understand
the
duties
and
responsibilities
of
their
local
police
and
that
members
of
our
own
police
department
recognize
their
duty,
which
they
do
to
serve
the
people
by
safeguarding
life
and
property,
protecting
them
against
violence
or
disorder
and
by
protecting
the
innocent
against
deception
and
the
weak
against
oppression.
Whereas
the
names
of
the
dedicated
public
servants
killed
in
the
line
of
duty
are
engraved
on
the
walls
of
the
national
law
enforcement
officers.
A
Memorial
in
washington,
d.c
394,
new
names
of
fallen
heroes
are
added
this
spring,
including
295
officers
killed
in
2020
and
99
killed
in
previous
years,
whereas
the
service
and
sacrifice
of
all
officers
killed
in
line
of
duty
will
be
honored
during
the
national
law
enforcement
officers.
Memorial
fund's
33rd
annual
candlelit
visual
on
the
evening
of
may
13th
and
whereas
may
15th
is
designated
as
peace
officers
memorial
day
in
honor
of
all
fallen
officers
and
their
families
and
u.s
flags
and
city
of
charleston
flags
should
be
flown
in
half
mass.
A
We
publicly
salute
the
service
of
law
enforcement
officers
in
our
community
and
we
will
have
our
own
memorial
service
at
brittlebank
park,
because
we
have
also
engraved
the
names
of
those
22
city
of
charleston
officers
on
a
memorial
at
brittlebank
park
here
in
charleston.
Now,
therefore,
I'm
john
jay
tackle
murder,
mayor
city
of
charleston
on
behalf
of
city
council
proclaim.
A
K
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
council,
for
taking
the
time
I
think,
appropriately
so
to
to
remember
our
fallen
heroes.
It's
not
the
way
that
they
die,
but
the
way
that
they
live
their
lives.
I
think
it's
important
in
this
time
of
division
and
difficulty
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
I'll.
Tell
you
I
recruit,
I
hire.
I
swear
in
our
new
officers
and
oftentimes
when
I
do
that:
they're
they're,
surrounded
by
their
family,
their
spouses,
their
siblings
others,
significant
others
and.
L
K
Them
you
know
sometimes
some
people
right
now
would
say
why
would
you
join
law
enforcement
at
such
a
difficult
time,
and
I
tell
them
what
I
really
believe
and
that
is
that
there's
never
been
a
more
important
time
to
be
a
part
of
law
enforcement,
more
important
opportunity
to
make
a
difference
to
have
an
impact.
I
don't
think
it's
ever
been
more
timely,
more
relevant
and
more
able
to
have
a
positive
impact
than
serving
in
our
communities,
but
I
also
tell
them
that
it's
difficult
now,
probably
more
difficult,
more
challenging
than
ever
and.
K
K
But
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
recognizing
our
families
of
our
fallen
heroes.
We
tell
them
I've
been
to
too
many
funerals.
I
hope
I
never
go
to
another
police
officer's
funeral,
but
I've
been
to
so
many
of
them
and
it
is
never
easy.
In
fact,
it
gets
harder
everyone
I
go
to,
but
we
tell
their
families.
We
will
never
forget.
We
tell
them
that
we
care
about
them.
F
G
A
A
So
next
we
have
a
proclamation
about
the
fact
that
this
month
is
also
mental
health
awareness
month,
and
I
would
like
to
call
upon
council
member
dale
chapo
after
I
make
this
proclamation.
This
was
made
at
her
request,
whereas
mental
health
is
essential
to
overall
health
and
well-being,
mental
health
helps
to
sustain
an
individual's
thought
processes,
relationships,
productivity
and
ability
to
adapt.
A
That
is
why
ensuring
the
mental
health
of
our
citizens
is
key
to
the
future
of
our
city.
50
of
mental
illnesses
present
themselves
by
the
age
of
14
and
75
percent
of
mental
illness
presents
by
the
age
of
24..
Depression
is
leading
number
one
cause
of
disability
in
our
country,
and
one
american
dies
by
suicide.
A
Every
12
minutes
early
identification
and
treatment
can
make
a
profound
difference
in
successful
management
of
mental
illness
and
recovery.
It's
important
to
maintain
mental
health
and
learn
the
symptoms
of
mental
illness
in
order
to
seek
help
when
it
is
needed.
Every
citizen
and
community
can
make
a
difference
in
helping
in
the
silence
and
stigma
that
for
too
long
have
surrounded
mental
illness
and
discourage
people
from
getting
help.
M
Thank
you
mayor.
I
want
to
start
by
saying
this.
If
you
are
suffering
you're
doing
your
best,
you're
not
broken,
you
don't
need
to
be
fixed,
you're,
not
a
failure,
and
it's
not
your
fault,
and
if
you
are
caring
for
someone
who
is
suffering
and
you
feel
overwhelmed
or
unsure,
you're
doing
your
best,
you
are
not
broken.
You
do
not
need
to
be
fixed,
you're,
not
a
failure,
and
it's
not
your
fault.
M
M
It
is
imperative
that
mental
health
is
central
to
these
conversations
and
how
we
craft
policy.
I
am
so
proud
of
our
police
department
for
the
measures
they
are
taking
to
decriminalize
mental
health
conditions.
In
fact,
just
yesterday
team
five
officers
saved
a
woman's
life
because
she
felt
she
had
no
other
options
than
to
end
hers.
N
First
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
councilwoman
del
chapo
for
her
contributions
to
getting
this
proclamation
made
you,
mr
mayor,
the
entire
council.
It
takes
dedicated
public
servants
such
as
yourselves
to
really
increase
awareness
about
mental
health,
its
importance
and
places
to
find
treatment
for
those
who
are
suffering
from
a
mental
health
condition.
N
Miss
del
chapo
is
a
wonderful
example
of
a
public
servant
who
is
increasing
awareness
of
the
awareness
of
the
mental
mental
health
issues,
and
we
could
not
be
more
grateful
to
have
her
on
our
board.
Thank
you.
Marie
nami
charleston
area
provides
programs
for
individuals
with
mental
health
conditions,
their
family
members,
their
friends
and
others
who
provide
care
and
support
for
them.
N
Our
focus
is
on
res
being
a
resource
for
our
community
and
as
an
advocate
for
mental
health,
treatment
and
awareness,
we
believe
that
everyone
who
is
impacted
by
mental
illness
should
have
access
to
the
care
they
need.
Most
of
all,
we
believe
that
recovery
from
mental
illness
is
possible,
and,
more
than
ever,
we
need
to
spread
that
message.
N
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
those
words
and
and
sharing
and
increasing
awareness
in
our
community
and
council
member
dale
chapel.
You
mentioned
a
remarkable
assist
to
save
a
life
by
our
charleston
police
department,
and
many
of
you
also
saw
the
incident
that
occurred
on
upper
king
street
a
few
weeks
ago,
where,
over
a
two-day
period,
our
officers
de-escalated
a
situation
with
a
gentleman
who
was
experiencing
a
mental
health
challenge,
and
you
know,
rather
than
a
a
really
bad
outcome.
A
We
had
a
a
good
outcome
of
de-escalation
and
helping
him
get
the
assistance
he
needed
and
the
attention
he
needed.
So
this
couldn't
come
together
at
a
better
time
to
highlight
national
police
week
and
the
the
great
work
that
they
are
doing
in
our
community
regarding
the
sensitivity
and
the
training
they've
had
on
these
issues.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Okay,
we've
got
one
more
proclamation
this
evening
and
I
believe
that
william
garvey
is
with
us.
A
Whereas
charleston
citizens
and
visitors
alike
are
fortunate
to
have
plentiful
access
to
wide
variety
of
recreational
boating
opportunities
due
to
high
interest
in
boating
as
an
enjoyable
pastime,
waterways
can
become
crowded
and
and
boating
for.
The
unprepared
can
can
be
hazardous,
but
not
knowing
or
obeying
the
navigational
rules
or
rules
of
the
road
drinking
or
taking
drugs
while
operating
a
boat
or
choosing
not
to
wear
a
personal
flotation
device
or
examples
of
dangerous
bad
boating
behavior,
whereas
on
average
more
than
600
people
in
the
u.s
die
each
year
in
boating-related
accidents.
A
But
most
of
these
drownings
could
have
been
prevented
simply
with
the
use
of
a
flotation
device
or
life
jacket.
Whereas
the
vast
majority
of
such
accidents
are
caused
by
human
error
or
poor
judgment
and
are
not
the
result
of
equipment,
failure
or
environmental
factors,
and
whereas
modern
life,
jackets
and
personal
flotation
devices
are
both
more
comfortable
and
more
attractive
than
those
of
years
past,
it
can
even
be
a
fashion
statement
and
should
be
used
by
all
members
of
the
voting
public
to
ensure
their
personal
safety
and
avoid
tragedies.
A
Therefore,
I'm
john
jay
tackle
bar
mayor
city
of
charleston
on
behalf
of
city
council,
urge
all
those
who
vote
to
wear
life
jackets
and
practice
safe
boating
habits
have
fun
but
be
safe.
I
proclaim,
may
22nd
to
28th
as
national
safe
boating
week
in
the
city
of
charleston.
Our
partnership
with
the
coast
guard
is
on
many
levels.
William
garvey
is
with
the
coast
guard
auxiliary.
A
O
O
Well,
thank
you
for,
for
this
and
and
and
to
the
members
of
the
city
council
as
well.
One
of
the
central
missions
of
the
coast
guard
auxiliary,
is
to
keep
people
safe
as
they
enjoy
recreational
voting.
Unfortunately,
as
you
mentioned
nationally,
we
lose
hundreds
of
the
boating
public
east
each
year,
most
of
whom
most
of
them
from
drowning
and
most
of
those
are
not
wearing
life
vests,
which
can
be
a
very
positive
fashion
statement.
O
A
It's
you
can
take
someone's
life
so
anyway.
I
sadly
wanted
to
share
that.
Thank
you
again,
william
for
being
with
us
and
all
the
work
y'all
do
to
keep
our
boaters
safe.
We
we,
we
certainly
are
blessed
with
access
to
the
water
here
in
this
coastal
area.
So
next
we
have
one
public
hearing
up
tonight.
This
is
our
city
of
charleston
climate
action
plan.
So
much
work
has
gone
into
this
over
the
last
six
months,
really
over
the
last
year
and
years,
and
it's
been
so
ably
led.
A
It's
so
been
so
ably
led
by
many
community
members
who
have
pitched
in
and
and
helped
make
this
a
reality,
but
the
number
one
person
is
katie
mccain,
our
staff
member
who
who
oversaw
this
effort
for
last
year.
I
don't
see
her
on
my
there.
She
is
down
on
the
bottom
of
the
screen
katie.
Thank
you
for
just
an
incredible
job.
A
Getting
us
this
far,
but
I
know
you
you
risk
shouting
out
to
specific
folks
when
a
big
group
is
helped
and
if
you
look
at
the
action
plan,
katie
has
listed
in
there
literally
hundreds
of
individuals
and
organizations
that
have
helped
with
this
effort.
But
but
I
just
want
to
shout
out
to
a
few
kind
of
special
community
members.
Who've
helped
in
this
effort.
One
is
stuart,
weinberg
and
stuart
has
been
like
the
master
volunteer.
A
He
went
to
conferences
on
his
own
and
our
behalf
to
to
learn
and
to
teach
us
and
to
engage
us.
Stuart
you've
been
remarkable,
danielle
richardson
is
with
us
this
evening
and
and
likewise
danielle.
Thank
you
for
all
your
efforts.
Edgar
edgar,
sada
edgar.
I
saw
you
on
page
number,
two
you're
out
there
and
on
the
zoom
call
thank
you
for
your
efforts,
christine
von
kolnitz,
who
serves
on
our
resiliency
committee
and
has
been
a
remarkable
leader
of
the
sierra
club
and
the
efforts
to
bring
this
plan
forward
omar
muhammad.
A
A
Council
members
seeking
brady
del
chapo,
appel
jackson
you'll
have
all
been
a
part
of
this
effort
over
the
last
six
months,
so
there
were
31
different
working
group
meetings
in
total
seven
council
members
who
were
part
of
that
process.
So
katie,
I
guess.
Maybe,
if
you
have
any
remarks
I'd,
be
welcome
you
to
share
them.
Otherwise,
madame
clerk,
we
will
open
the
public
hearing
and
hear
from
anyone
from
the
public
who
has
signed
up
to
to
speak
katie.
Did
you
want
to
make
any
remarks
beforehand.
P
P
P
P
So
we
embarked
on
the
process
of
creating
our
climate
action
plan.
Last
summer,
when
we
created,
we
performed
a
greenhouse
gas
inventory,
and
this
report
just
gives
us
a
snapshot
of
our
emissions
from
both
city
government
operations
and
also
emissions
from
the
entire
charleston
city
community
as
a
whole.
P
P
P
P
You
know
when
we
started
the
process.
We
looked
at
these
five
bullets
as
what
a
successful
climate
action
plan
looked
like,
and
I
can
confidently
say
that
I
think
we
have
checked
off
all
of
these
bullets,
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
plan
included
ideas
and
support
from
a
diverse
group
of
community
members.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
we
focused
on
climate
mitigation
because
we
have
a
flooding
and
sea
level
rise
strategy
and
also
a
vulnerability
assessment
that
focuses
on
adaptation.
P
We
wanted
to
be
sure
we
focused
on
actions
the
city
can
control
or
can
heavily
influence.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
we're
prioritizing
it
on
what
our
local
goals
and
what
our
needs
are
and
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
this
action
plan
was
centered
on
equity
to
ensure
that
the
benefits
and
the
challenges
of
climate
action
are
shared
amongst
everyone.
So
we
all
the
subcommittees,
and
especially
the
task
force,
reviewed
all
the
action
items
with
that
equity
lens
and
that
that
really
helped
to
promote
equity
throughout
the
process.
P
P
P
P
And
I'd
just
like
to
briefly
touch
on
the
co
benefits
so
any
time
you're
taking
climate
action.
It
is
very
common
to
have
so
many
additional
benefits
that
can
also
be
perks
to
the
charleston
region.
So,
for
example,
benefits
of
you
know,
reducing
costs
or
improving
mobility
or
improving
safety
or
preserving
our
historic
and
cultural
assets
are
all
co-benefits,
and
these
were
all
looked
at
as
as
the
actions
were
were
studied.
P
Just
to
give
you
an
example
when
we,
when
we
plant
more
trees,
we're
not
only
protecting
our
air
quality
and
our
water
quality,
but
we're
enhancing
our
climate
adaptation,
because
those
trees
absorb
a
whole
lot
of
storm
water.
We
are
also
raising
awareness
to
the
community
about
the
value
of
planting
trees
and
the
low
cost.
It
is
to
do
that
and
we're
also
beautifying
our
city,
so
so
every
action
item.
P
This
plan
has
at
least
two
or
more
additional
benefits
for
trustonians,
which
is
which
is
really
neat
to
see
and
finally,
I'll
just
wrap
up
saying.
I
know
there
were
a
few
things
that
were
really
important
to
counsel,
especially,
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
shared
that
these
were
captured
in
the
plan
with
everyone.
So,
of
course
we
talked
about
equity
considerations.
P
We
also
highlighted
the
co-benefits
we
included
potential
partners
in
the
plan.
We
prioritize
the
action
items
based
on
a
rigorous
assessment
criteria,
the
task
force
developed.
We
also
identified
the
approximate
cost
for
each
item.
Many
are
lower,
no
cost
at
all
and
we
identified
some
potential
funding
opportunities
we
could
pursue
and,
of
course
we
identified
community
engagement
opportunities
and,
as
we
all
know,
this
is
so
important
because
it
will
take
the
whole
community.
It
takes
a
village
right
to
to
take
meaningful
climate
action.
The
city
can't
do
this
alone.
P
A
A
I
did
note
that
a
lot
a
goodly
number
of
folks
signed
up
to
make
remarks,
and
so
I
know
it's
kind
of
short,
but
if
y'all
could
keep
your
comments
in
just
a
minute,
that
would
be
great
and
if
you
as
we
go
through
this,
if
you
hear
your
your
idea
or
comment
has
already
been
expressed
by
someone
else,
you
might
just
say
you
know,
ditto
or
or
you
know,
keep
a
keep
a
new
idea
coming
to
us.
So
I'm
adam
clark.
Q
As
you
read
it,
if
you
haven't,
read
it
yet
you'll.
Look
at
all
the
assessment
criteria
that
was
part
of
us
making
a
decision
on
what
the
priorities
would
be
that
we
would
present
to
the
city
council.
This
is
a
plan
created
by
the
people
of
charleston
for
the
entire
population
of
charleston,
and
I
know
that
I
and
I
hope
that
the
city
council
will
agree
and
adopt
this
plan,
because
I
have
three
grandchildren,
and
I
know
that
some
of
you
out
there
also
have
grandchildren
and
we
want
to
preserve
charleston.
R
R
These
are
carbon
sinks
and
they
have
two
functions
and
tend
not
to
be
in
top
of
people's
minds
about
climate
change.
They
actually
pull
carbon
out
of
the
air.
So
it's
not
there
to
contribute
to
climate
change,
and
then
they
store
that
carbon
underground
for
centuries.
At
a
time
they
actually
store
five
times
more
carbon
than
tropical
forests,
they're,
absolutely
critical
when
it
when
these
habitats
are
damaged
or
destroyed.
R
Not
only
do
we
lose
with
their
ability
to
pull
out
of
the
air,
but
the
carbon
that's
stored,
gets
released
to
the
atmosphere
and
contributes
significantly
to
greenhouse
gases
in
the
atmosphere
going
forward.
The
city
council
will
face
many
decisions
which
have
to
do
with
marshes,
etc.
I
hope
they
will
preserve
them.
S
S
S
Benefits
of
this
is
to
be
a
role
model
for
the
greater
charleston
area,
and
my
hopes
is
that
charleston
will
be
a
leader
and
will
inspire
other
municipalities
like
mount
pleasant,
the
the
island
communities
to
adopt
similar
plans,
and
so
I
really
hope
you
all
will
cherish
the
work
that's
been
put
into
this
and
pass
this
climate
action
plan.
Thank
you.
F
T
T
U
U
I
think
the
city
itself
is
an
ecosystem
and
we're
at
a
point
of
self-determination
on
how
to
protect
these
wonderful
assets
as
well
as
grow
and
become
better
in
the
arena
of
social
justice
and
equitable
places.
I'll
add
echo
the
others,
but
add
two
that
I've
been
listening
today
to
the
urban
land
institute
spring
meeting.
Our
organization
of
about
45
000
people
that
are
the
discussions,
were
exactly
what
we've
been
talking
about
with
katie
and
she
has
done
a
fantastic
job
of
pulling
us
all
together.
U
So
those
desired
outcomes
and
the
goal
settings
that
we
have
done
are
really
important.
I
think
now
is
that
action
is
the
key
word
to
take
to
take
to
move
this
forward
and
to
start
this
process
and
to
start
the
process
of
how
we
measure
the
benefits
and
what
happens
if
you
do
nothing
as
well,
so
I
would
say
I
would
like
for
to
approve
it.
Thank
you.
V
I
am
asking
the
city
of
charleston
to
adapt
and
support
the
local
climate
action
plan.
This
plan
helps
us
to
move
to
adjust
and
equitable
solutions
to
our
climate
crisis.
I
want
to
detail
ditto
david's
comments
about
this
being
a
model
for
other
communities
to
follow,
and
I
am
excited
on
seeing
how
we
can
use
this
particular
model
to
advance
a
similar
action
plan
in
the
city
of
child
in
in
the
city
of
north
charleston.
Thank
you.
W
That's
fine,
hey
mary
koster
here,
mayor
city,
council,
again,
hey!
I
just
want
to
really
want
to
again
lift
up
the
work
of
katie,
mccain
and
all
of
the
people
who
who
centered
this.
This
problem,
as
the
mayor
calls
us
an
existential
problem
that
affects
us
all,
and
it
does
seem
that
we've
arrived
at
a
threshold
in
this
climate
change
story
in
charleston.
X
Thank
you
mayor
and
council,
I'm
representing
the
coastal
conservation
league
tonight.
Several
of
my
colleagues
and
I
served
on
subcommittees
for
this
plan
and
we
all
extend
our
sincere
appreciations
to
katie
mccain
for
her
expert
leadership
on
this
work.
We
applaud
the
city
for
taking
the
initiative
to
act
on
climate
beyond
the
work
happening
already
to
address
local
climate
impacts
from
flooding
and
sea
level
rise.
X
I
had
the
honor
of
serving
on
the
waste
subcommittee.
Actions
called
out
in
the
waste
plan
are
achievable
and,
if
implemented,
could
lead
to
significant
cost
savings
along
with
reductions
from
methane
emissions.
This
is
critical.
Considering
methane
gas
is
about
28
times
more
powerful
than
carbon
dioxide
at
warming.
The
earth,
so
keeping
food
and
organic
waste
out
of
landfills
is
a
low
hanging.
X
Fruit
solution
to
the
methane
problem,
especially
considering
the
resources
that
exist
in
our
community,
like
the
industrial
compost
facility
at
bees,
ferry
just
waiting
to
be
utilized
to
its
full
potential
performing
a
garbage,
can
audit
and
using
that
data
to
evaluate
and
restructure
the
way
trash
collection
takes
place
to
incentivize
recycling
and
composting
very
first
step
that
will
make
the
other
actions
possible
I'll
stop
there.
Thank
you.
B
Y
Y
Unfortunately,
it
has
a
big
blank
spot
in
it
and
that
it
doesn't
consider
our
consumption-based
emissions,
meaning
all
of
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
that
derive
from
the
food
that
we
eat.
The
cars
that
we
drive,
obviously
within
the
car
usage
within
the
city,
is
counted,
but
the
actual
production
of
the
car
isn't
counted.
Some
figures
have
estimated
that
for
north
american
cities,
our
consumption-based
emissions
are
about
three
times
our
sector-based
emissions,
which
are
the
emissions
that
are
counted
in
our
greenhouse
gas
inventory.
Y
So
I
particularly
anybody
who
knows
me
knows
I'm
passionate
about
food
justice
and
shifting
people
away,
particularly
from
red
meat,
and
that's
not
something
that
this
claim
action
plan
addresses
head
on
the
way
I
think
it
ought
to.
So
I
just
want
to
absolutely
support
this
plan
100
and
understand
that
it's
it's
only.
A
step
in
the
in
the
right
direction.
Thank
you.
B
Z
Okay
good
evening,
thank
you
for
for
recognizing
me
earlier.
Thank
you
mckay
mccain,
you
did
a
wonderful
job,
leading
our
climate
task
force
and
I
would
like
for
you
to
the
city
of
charleston
council
city
council,
to
be
able
to
approve
our
plan
because
it's
a
wonderful
I
served
on
the
educational
committee
and
one
thing
I
can
really
say
that
me
being
a
east
side
resident.
Our
youth
in
our
citizens
on
the
east
side
has
been
moving
forward,
we're
learning
climate
change.
B
AA
Hitler
good
evening,
mayor
teklenberg,
the
city
council,
members
and
all
the
attendees
of
the
meeting
this
afternoon,
I'm
doug
hatler,
I'm
an
isle
of
palms
resident.
It's
an
honor
privilege
to
participate.
As
a
member
of
the
carbon
sync
subcommittee,
I
want
to
acknowledge
katie,
mccain
and
the
wonderful
work
she
did
as
well
as
all
the
others
who
participated.
AA
I'm
an
environmental
scientist
and
engineer
and
a
business
executive
and
I've
spent
35
years,
balancing
economic
development,
human
health
and
environmental
stewardship.
I
support
the
climate
action
plan.
I
think
it's
an
evolutionary
plan
which
aligns
well
with
where
the
direction
of
charleston
needs
to
go
for
the
future.
AA
I
hope
you
will
approve
it,
but
not
only
approve
it.
I
hope
that
the
city
and
all
the
stakeholders
remain
committed
to
its
execution,
fully
funding
it
with
the
resources
it
needs
and
all
the
things
that
go
along
with
you
know
not
just
approving
a
plan
but
putting
it
in
place,
and
I
also
want
to
close
with.
I
encourage
the
city
to
work
with
surrounding
communities
like
isle
of
palms,
because
we're
all
fellow
travelers
with
the
city
on
climate
change,
mitigation
and
adaptation.
Thank
you
very
much.

I
am
hey.
Can
you
hear
me
now,
I'm
speaking
actually
as
a
member
of
the
education
subcommittee
of
the
climate
action
plan
and
also
as
a
member
of
the
3x3
advisory
committee
on
flooding
this
climate
action
plan,
the
proposed
plan
is
a
thorough
and
remarkable
piece
of
work
that
will
distinguish
charleston
as
a
forerunning
municipality
in
the
daunting
effort
to
cope
with
climate
change.
AB

Good
afternoon
mr
mayor
and
council
members
and
a
special
aloha
to
council
member
brady
who's
visiting
the
island
where
I
was
born
and
raised
a
state
that
is
also
experiencing
the
impacts
of
climate
change.
The
work
of
my
team
at
planet
purpose
solutions.
A
woman-led
south
carolina
benefit
corporation
based
in
west
ashley,
includes
launching
sustainability
initiatives
for
companies
across
the
u.s
and
europe.
Much
of
our
work
is
focused
on
measuring,
reducing
and
offsetting
corporate
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
We
have
helped
several
brands
achieve
climate,
neutral
certification
and
our
operations
are
also
certified.
AC
I
know
the
path
ahead
that
this
climate
action
plan
represents
seems
daunting,
but
our
business
in
particular
knows
what
epic
leadership
looks
like,
especially
with
regards
to
designing
and
implementing
a
climate
action
strategy,
and
the
citizens
of
the
city
of
charleston
possess
the
fortitude
needed
to
put
the
plan
in
play.
I
highly
encourage
the
city
of
charleston
to
adopt
this
plan
and
support
its
execution.
Thank
you.
AD
Good
evening,
everyone
christine
von
kolnitz
here-
and
I
am
a
member
of
the
resilience
and
sustainability
committee-
and
I
I
am
also
the
chair
of
the
local
sierra
club,
representing
over
over
a
thousand
members
in
in
the
city
of
charleston
and
in
the
region.
I
want
to
first
thank
katie
mccain
for
her
excellent
leadership.
AD
Creating
this
plan
fabulous
job,
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
mayor
and
the
city
council
members
who
came
to
meetings,
participated
and
really
added
so
much
to
this
plan
and
made
it
better
want
to.
You
know
to
say
again
that
this
is
a
science-based
equity
focused
plan
and
we
couldn't
have
a
better
plan.
AD
AE
C
AF
The
waste
subcommittee
and
and
also
was
involved
with
helping
to
put
together
that
component
of
the
plan-
and
I
echo
many
of
the
things
that
others
have
said.
What
I
would
add
is
just
the
observation
that
what
the
city
is
facing
now
with
all
this
work,
the
billions
of
dollars
that
we're
having
to
invest
into
drainage
into
potentially
building
a
wall
around
the
city.
All
this
is
a
direct
result
of
past
decisions
that
were
made
that
did
not
take
the
threat
seriously
when
we
had
information.
AF
AG
Hi,
thank
you
for
letting
me
speak.
It's
really
good
to
see.
All
of
you
I
feel
like
I
haven't
seen
council
members
in
a
very
long
time.
I'm
katie
zimmerman
hi
councilman
executive
director
of
charleston
moves,
and
I
know
you
all
are
gonna
be
shocked
when
I
say
that
I
am
really
supportive
of
the
complete
streets
elements
of
this
plan.
AG
I
know
that's
a
big
surprise
to
everybody
and
I
am
also
a
resident
of
the
city
of
charleston,
but
just
one
one
of
the
really
great
things
about
this
plan,
especially
when
it
comes
to
the
transportation
elements,
is
keeping
in
mind
that
transportation
emissions
have
now
become
the
number
one
source
of
climate.
Changing
emissions
in
south
carolina.
The
fact
that
charleston
county
is
the
most
dangerous
place
in
the
state
to
walk
or
ride
a
bicycle,
and
that
includes
walking
tour
from
bus
stops.
AG
AH
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I'll
also
echo
the
extraordinary
work
that
katie
mccain
did
just
pulling
this
process
together,
but
also
to
the
mayor
for
taking
the
lead
with
regard
to
the
city
as
well
as
city
council.
I'm
an
architect,
I'm
also
the
director
of
the
clemson
architecture
center
here
in
charleston,
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
support
this
effort.
The
climate
action
plan
and
applaud
the
city
for
taking
this
next
step
toward
an
integrated
approach
to
contending
with
global
climate
change.
AH
As
a
coastal
city,
charleston
is
inaudibly
at
a
crossroads,
while
the
city
can't
alone
ward
the
challenges
of
global
global
climate
change,
it
must
do
everything
possible
to
prepare
our
community
and
the
region
to
buy
time,
there's
simply
too
much
at
stake.
So
I
do
hope.
City
council
will
advance
this
matter
and
thank
you
all
very
much.
AI
Hi
good
evening,
council
members,
I
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
applaud
the
inclusion
of
several
initiatives
related
to
composting
in
the
climate
action
plan.
Composting
in
many
ways
is
more
important
than
recycling.
I'd
like
to
echo
betsy
laforce's
statements
about
composting
potential
here
in
charleston.
Landfills
with
rotting
food
are
the
third
largest
producer
of
methane
gas
from
human
activity
in
the
united
states.
AI
Improving
the
health
of
soil
with
organic
matter
also
cleans
storm
water
by
capturing
and
breaking
down
anywhere
from
60
to
95
percent
of
pollutants,
as
well
as
retaining
more
water
helping
to
mitigate
helping
to
mitigate
incidents
of
runoff
and
flooding.
According
to
another
statistic
that
can
be
readily
published
by
the
nrdc,
every
one
percent
of
organic
matter
added
to
soil
can
help
absorb
an
additional
25,
000
gallons
of
water
per
acre.
Please
vote
yes
on
this
initiative.

Good
evening,
thank
you
mayor
and
city
council,
I'm
representing
the
south
carolina
aquarium
tonight,
and
I
also
just
have
to
start
by
plotting
katie
mccain
for
her
leadership
on
this
effort.
It's
really
an
impressive
process.
The
plan
you
have
before
you
takes
into
account
not
only
the
reduction
of
greenhouse
gases,
but
it's
seeped
in
equity
and
feasibility.
AK
It
also
is
on
the
front
lines
when
it
comes
to
feeling
the
effects
of
climate
change.
I
personally
have
to
shift
my
travel
every
month
because
of
sunny
day
flooding
that
comes
with
king
tides
and
couple
that,
with
increased
rain
and
storms,
increased
development
and
loss
of
green
infrastructure
and
the
problems
seem
insurmountable,
but
they're
not
by
reducing
the
city's
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
will
greatly
increase
the
resilience
of
our
community
natural
ecosystems
and
to
climate
risk.
AK

Good
evening,
thank
you
all.

on
the
education
subcommittee
and
want
to
commend
the
city
council,
the
mayor
and
the
city
for
taking
this
on.
It's
no
secret
that
we
are
on
the
forefront
of
climate
change
and
sea
level
rise,
but
with
great
challenges,
come
great
opportunities
for
innovation
and
for
charleston
to
continue
to
be
a
leader
and
set
an
example
to
not
only
the
rest
of
our
state
but
across
the
south,
the
east
coast
and
the
nation.
AL
One
of
the
biggest
challenges
we
face
in
getting
folks
involved
is
that
this
seems
too
big
of
an
issue
to
tackle.
So
instead
of
taking
action,
we
shut
down
individually.
This
plan
gives
citizens
manageable
actions
that
they
can
take
to
create
a
difference
and
help
us
tackle
this
issue.
Thank
you
again
to
the
council
and
well
done.
AM
Good
evening,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
city
council,
kashan
drollay
with
historic,
charleston
foundation,
speaking
in
support
of
the
climate
action
plan
before
you
this
evening,
hcf
was
proud
to
serve
on
the
building
subcommittee
of
the
task
force
and
we
believe
the
climate
action
plan
highlights
and
dovetails
with
much
of
the
resilience
work
on
which
we've
been
collaborating
with
the
city
in
recent
years,
including
underscoring
many
of
the
recommendations
made
in
the
dutch
dialogues.
Charleston
final
report,
such
as
rain
proof,
charleston
keeping
residents
out
of
risky
flood
prone
areas
and
protection
of
the
tree
canopy.
AM
The
draft
plan
also
embraces
historic
preservation
and
views
it
as
a
means
to
achieving
climate
resilience.
After
all,
the
greenest
most
sustainable
building
is
the
one
that
is
already
there.
It
reduces
resource
and
material
consumption
and
puts
less
waste
in
landfills,
and
the
plan
also
recommends
design
standards
for
renewable
energy
and
that's
something
that
the
bar
is
working
on
now.
With
regard
to
guidelines
for
solar
panels,
hcf
looks
forward
to
continued
collaboration
with
on
climate
resilience
with
city,
council
and
city
staff,
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
you
this
evening.
AN
Hello,
everyone-
I
was
part
of
the
climate
action
task
force
and
serving
all
five
subcommittees.
This
plan
brought
people
from
all
walks
of
life
that
really
gave
their
time
because
they
knew
the
importance
of
it.
The
fund
not
only
aims
at
having
a
more
equitable
and
sustainable
community
20
50
100
years
from
now,
but
addresses
concerns
that
we
are
facing
today.
AN
The
city
has
an
opportunity
to
be
leaders
in
climate
action
and
serve
as
a
model
for
municipalities
throughout
the
low
country
and
state
of
south
carolina,
and
I
say
this
as
the
former
sustainability
coordinator
for
charleston
county.
It
is
every
responsible
government's
duty
to
take
action
and
heed
this
call
and
ensure
a
sustainable
and
equitable
future
for
all
council
members.
If
any
of
you
are
having
any
doubts,
ask
yourself
one
simple,
yes
or
no
question
is
this
for
the
good
of
the
community.
AN
AO
I
was
really
hoping
for
a
no-nonsense
approach
to
taking
this
on,
and
this
was
absolutely
that
it
was
really
grounded
in
identifying
cost-effective,
high-impact,
equitable
and
universally
supported
strategies
that
are
actually
feasible.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
city,
council
and
katie
mccain
for
their
work.
Thank
you.
Brian.
AP
Good
evening
I
am
a
high
school
student
here
today
on
behalf
of
james
island
charter,
high
school's
environmental
sustainability
club
and
on
behalf
of
future
generations
of
charleston
in
support
of
the
climate
action
plan.
I've
lived
in
charleston
my
entire
life
and
in
my
lifetime
I've
experienced
firsthand
the
impact
of
the
changing
climate
on
our
coastal
community
in
south
carolina.
Young
people
are
tired
because
we
are
seeing
the
impacts
of
climate
change
in
our
everyday
day-to-day
life,
and
then
we
are
often
seeing
our
elected
officials
dragging
their
feet.
AP
This
inaction
has
dangerous
impacts,
as
the
southeast
is
currently
experiencing
brain
drain
and
out
migration
of
young
educated
and
often
disillusioned
individuals.
Today,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
protect
our
communities
and
give
hope
to
young
people,
because
today
our
elected
officials
are
not
dragging
our
feet
their
feet.
This
climate
action
plan
represents
a
bold
step
away
from
inaction
and
towards
working
for
a
better
future
for
younger
generations.
J
J
You
also,
we
put
in
in
place
for
plastic
band,
there's
plastic
everywhere,
I'm
tired
of
doing
trash
cleanups
to
clean
up
after
it
again.
I
want
this
to
go
through
and
it
needs
to
pass.
You
say
you
want
liberation
and
equity
for
all.
I
don't
see
anyone
in
rosemont
silver,
hill
garden
hill.
Talking
to
us
about
this
plan.
You
want
to
build
a
sea
wall
around
the
entire
city.
Let's
think
progressive,
let's
be
forward
thinking
with
this.
J
J
You
know
you
want
to
build
a
low
line.
It's
amazing,
but
there's
parks
under
there
that
exist,
the
lights,
don't
work,
people
walk
their
kids
back
and
forth
to
school
under
their
every
day,
be
progressive
to
things
that
exist
already,
and
people
need
access
to
this
city,
not
just
white
people.
There
are
tons
of
other
people
that
need
access
to
this,
not
just
tourists.
We
live
here.
We
support
the
city
and
we
support
you
doing
this.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
D
I
serve
on
the
environmental
and
health
disparities
subcommittee
and
I
also
was
able
to
sit
on
several
different
committees
on
this
health
action
or
this
environmental
action
plan,
and
I
want
to
urge
all
city
council
members
to
vote
for
this
climate
expand.
I
want
to
commend
katie
for
all
of
her
hard
work
and
putting
us
together
and
also
serving
on
commission
on
equity.
I
want
to
lift
up
what
people
have
been
saying
about
equity
and
the
reason
we
have
to
be
so
intentional
about
it.
D
But
the
reason
we
have
to
be
so
intentional
about
it
is
because
charleston
has
a
history
of
ignoring
the
black
communities
here
and
there's
a
reason
why
the
flooding
has
gotten
so
bad
in
some
of
these
areas,
and
we
hear
every
day
around
these
communities
that
people
are
tired
of
this
they've
been
asking
us
for
as
long
as
they've
been
here
and
they've
been
ignored
by
people
who
may
not
may
not
be
of
y'all,
but
like
people
who
send
seats
before
you
as
well.
So
we
urge
everybody
to
vote
for
this
action
plan.
AQ
Thank
you,
mayor
council
members
and
katie,
I'm
representing
surf
writer
charleston
and
adopt
a
highway
charleston
and
I
was
honored
to
serve
on
the
way
subcommittee.
I
encourage
you
to
pass
this
plan,
I'm
just
going
to
say
ditto
to
everyone.
That
said
every
that
came
before
me,
but
I
encourage
you
to
pass
this
plan
as
someone
who
spends
their
free
time
pulling
trash
out
of
storm
drains
or
marshes
picking
up
our
roadways,
I
especially
applaud
the
lifestyle,
awareness
and
zero
waste
portion
of
this
plan.
AQ
What
I
like
to
always
tell
my
volunteers,
when
I
head
out
there
to
do
cleanups,
it's
a
very
easy
slogan,
but
no
wetlands
no
seafood
and
we
all
know
how
we
would
feel
about
that.
So
whether
you
enjoy
eating
a
crab
sandwich
or
looking
at
the
dolphins
out
in
the
ocean,
we
need
our
we.
We
need
to
pass
this
plan
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
AR
I'm
also
the
climate
manager
at
the
college
of
charleston
and
feel
this
plan
closely
aligns
with
my
work
and
provides
a
great
roadmap
for
us
to
develop
similar
action
items
for
climate
mitigation
and
adaptation,
and
I
applaud
the
city
for
taking
this
step
forward
and
for
bringing
together
a
broad
range
of
stakeholders
during
the
creation
of
this
plan,
and
I
also
believe
this
plan
is
a
strong
match
for
the
vision
of
many
of
the
students
that
I
work
with
for
charleston,
that
is,
climate
focused
and
climate
ready.
So
thank
you.
B
AS
Stewart
good
evening,
I'm
director
of
the
riley
center
for
livable
communities
at
the
college
of
charleston
and
serve
on
the
city's
resiliency
and
sustainability
advisory
committee.
I
also
want
to
congratulate
katie
mark
and
the
rest
of
the
task
force
for
all
the
work
they
did
on
creating
the
climate
action
plan
with
a
process
that
was
highly
inclusive
and
equitable,
involving
significant
public
engagement
and
expert
advice
which,
as
we
have
seen
tonight,
has
led
to
broad
and
inclusive
community
support.
This
plan
is
a
real
opportunity
for
the
city
to
be
a
leader.
AS
We
are
a
little
behind
the
curve
and
passing
other
efforts
to
reduce
our
environmental
impacts,
such
as
the
plastic
bag
ban.
But
the
passage
of
this
plan
would,
as
we've
heard,
allow
charlton
to
serve
as
a
model,
regionally
statewide
and
even
nationally
major
anchor
employers
in
our
areas,
such
as
the
college
of
charleston,
musc
and
boeing,
are
all
working
to
reduce.
AS
AT
F
B
AT
Great
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
on.
I
pretty
much
reflect
a
lot
of
the
things
that
have
been
said
tonight.
So
I'll
keep
this
brief,
but
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
so
proud
of
this
plan.
I
think
it
looks
at
things
from
so
many
different
angles.
Obviously
so
much
work
has
gone
into
it.
I
know
it
hasn't
been
easy.
B
A
AU
AU
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
know
we're
always
conscious
of
time,
but
I
really
can't
pass
up
an
opportunity
to
speak
to
katie,
mccain
in
particular
and
to
all
the
members
of
the
amazing
committee
work
that
was
done
to
produce
this.
I
want
to
give
special
two
shout
outs
to
district
12
residents.
Who've
taught
me
everything.
AU
I
know
about
climate
and
the
challenges
that
we
have
in
the
area:
stuart,
weinberg
and
libby
smith,
and
they
I
feel,
like
I've
just
learned
at
their
knee
ever
since
I
moved
here
and
when
I
was
considering
filing
to
campaign
for
office,
I
went
to
introduce
myself
to
libby
and
I
and
I
heard
all
about
the
wonderful
2007
green
plan
and
then
the
sad
part
about
that
was
it
had
never
it
would.
It
had
been
received,
but
never
adopted.
AU
So
I
think
we
have
a
chance
to
do
the
do-over
here.
I'm
regretful
that
it's
how
many
every
year
is
later
and
my
grandson
is
going
on
four
years
old,
so
I
joined
stuart
and
libby
and
all
the
grandparents
and
all
the
parents
of
young
children
on
this
meeting
to
say
we
have
got
to
do
something,
and
I
look
forward
to
voting
yes
to
adopt
the
plan
and
work
it.
Thank
you.
A
Anyone
else
I
would
just
want
to
make
a
brief
comment.
I
thank
katie
and
all
the
folks
who
have
been
involved
in
this
and,
and
it's
been
mentioned,
that
charleston
has
kind
of
been
on
the
front
line
of
dealing
with
the
impacts
of
climate
change.
This
is
a
a
real
step,
meaningful
step
for
us
to
deal
with
the
root
causes
of
that
dilemma
that
we've
been
dealing
with
and
and
sometimes
when
you
develop
a
plan
and
pass
a
plan,
and
it's
50
pages
long.
A
AV
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
think
one
reason
we're
speechless
is
because
we
had
such
great
comments
from
everybody
that
participated
on
this.
They
said
it
all
and
they
said
it
the
best
way.
I
do
want
to
thank
katie
for
all
her
work.
She
brought
an
enthusiasm
to
this
that
made
it
exciting.
You
know.
I
know
we
all
appreciated
that.
So
obviously,
I'm
a
voting
in
support
of
this
and
charleston
should
lead.
I
mean
we'll,
see
poor
town
by
the
sea.
We
should
lead
in
this.
Thank
you.
AW
There
I'll
make
this
real
quick.
You
know,
I
remember
you
know
2009
2010,
when
the
green
plan
was
up
before
council
and,
of
course
I
wasn't
on
council
back
then,
but
I
was
following
along
and
I
remember
it
just
being
a
very
controversial
divisive
thing
on
council
and
I'm
expecting
a
unanimous
vote
of
approval
here
tonight,
if
not
something
very
close,
and
I
just
think
that
that
speaks
a
lot
about
the
the
consciousness
of
this
area
and
really
of
you
know
of
our
of
our
society.
AW
F
K
A
H

B
AX
Good
afternoon,
council
and
mayor
this
is
tony
daniel
calling
from
boone
island
founded
by
john
boone
in
1682,
who
was
banished
by
the
lower
proprietors,
as
I
am
also
banished,
but
I
know
why
he
was
banished.
I
don't
know
what
I
have
done
wrong.
I've
asked
that
you
have
followed
the
george
washington
rules
of
behavior.
Just
like
you
asked
me
to
act
in
a
certain
decorum.
AX
If
you
could
come
out
to
my
house,
you
can
see
climate
change
from
the
legally
parked
cars
that
are
killing
our
bushes
and
trees
beside
the
highway.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
would
like
to
add
that
I
have
empathy
for
the
charleston
city
police.
The
chief
was
talking
about
going
to
soldiers
funerals.
I
was
commander
of
the
higher
headquarters
of
the
14th
quartermaster
detachment.
The
unit
that
got
hit
by
the
scud
in
saudi
arabia,
81
were
killed
or
wounded
that
included
99
wounded
and
28
killed.
AX
So
I've
been
to
my
share
of
funerals,
also
city
council.
I
re
respect
your
opinion,
but
I
do
ask
that
I
be
treated
the
same
as
everyone
else.
The
black
and
white
signs
do
not
work.
I've
taken
at
least
40
pictures
of
the
driveway
blocked.
Please
good
at
the
same
signs
that
are
on
the
other
side
of
the
neighborhood
red
and
white.
AX
That's
the
one
people
pay
attention
to
and
we'll
solve
the
rest
of
the
traffic
problem,
because
I
know
the
school
is
working
on
it,
so
we'll
give
them
a
chance
to
solve
it,
but
just
unblock
my
driveway
with
the
proper
sign
and
mayor
I'd
like
to
have
breakfast
by
zooming
with
you
sometime
since
you
had
a
breakfast
meeting,
so
you
can
see
me
in
person
and
meet
my
father.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
the
time.
AY
Good
evening,
good
evening,
everyone
thank
you.
First,
first
off
mayor,
I'd
like
to
lodge
a
formal
complaint
against
council
member
ross
appel
for
the
meeting
on
april
27th
of
this
year,
where
mr
pell
basically
mocked
me
in
a
public
forum
by
waving
his
hand
in
the
air
degrading
me
and
demeanoring
my
manner.
While
I
was
speaking
as
a
lower
class
citizen
and
or
as
an
insect,
he
did
this
with
both
hands.
It
can
be
viewed
on
the
youtube
of
the
city
council
meeting
at
one
hour,
28
minutes
52
seconds.
AY
AY
AY
Once
again,
I
would
like
a
formal
apology
for
mr
pell
on
this
matter.
Next,
once
again,
every
single
day,
my
driveway,
is
also
blocked.
I
cannot
get
out.
I
cannot
get
in
mr
opel,
took
it
upon
himself
and
stated
in
writing
that
he
is
the
one
that
has
stopped
the
legal
signs
from
being
put
up
now.
I
don't
know
where
a
city
councilman
gets
that
kind
of
power
to
basically
make
an
unsafe
condition
and
or
break
the
law.
AY
AY
B
A
Great.
Thank
you,
madam
clark.
We
we
appreciate
that
and
let
me
let
council
know
that
for
some
reason,
I
I'm
not
getting
everybody
on
the
one
screen,
so
I
may
not
see
you
if
you're
raising
your
hand,
so
please
speak
up
if
you
need
to
be
recognized
or
madam
clerk,
if
you
see
someone,
let
me
know
so
next
is
our
petitions
and
communications.
A
AZ
Yes
mayor,
so
we
are
requesting
this
resolution
so
that
it
is
clear
that
the
november
elections
will
go
forward
as
planned
and
also
we
are
proposing
that.
Well,
I
know
city
council
is
of
the
mind
to
adopt
an
ordinance
after
the
district
maps
are
approved
and
drawn
to
require
special
special
elections.
M
I
did
and
I
apologize
I
I
thought
I
shot
my
hand
up
early
enough,
but
I
think
I
missed
it.
I
actually
wanted
to
make
a
motion
to
amend
or
to
add
to
the
agenda
under
section
I
so
I
don't
know
if
we
want
to
go
ahead
and
proceed
with
i1
and
then
come
to
me
to
what
I
would
like
to
add.
Under
this
section.
G
M
F
AZ
Yes,
mayor:
if
we're
adding
it
to
the
agenda,
we
do
need
a
motion
seconded
with
a
two-thirds
vote,
approving
adding
it
to
the
agenda
and
then,
if
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
vote
on
the
emergency
ordinance,
which
would
be
amending
the
one
that's
in
effect
now,
we
would
also
need
a
two-thirds
vote
and
a
finding
for
for
both
the
motion
and
the
substantive
decision.
We
need
a
finding
of
an
exiting
or
emergency
circumstance
right.
A
M
I
I
think
in
light
of
still
some
things
happening
around
the
around
the
nation
in
our
own
communities,
residents
and
businesses
would
like
a
continuation
of
this
option
at
the
mayor
and
chief's
disposal.
Again,
it's
a
last
resort.
It's
not
something
they're
just
going
to
do
for
the
sake
of
doing
it's
a
last
resort
in
order
to
in
order
for
the
public
safety
to
allow
it
to
continue
a
bit
longer.
K
A
Second,
further
discussion:
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
aye,
aye
aye
me
opposed
the
odds.
Have
it
thank
you,
councilmember
dale
chapeau.
So
next
up
is
our
update
on
the
city's
response
to
covet
19.,
I'm
going
to
call
on
tracy
mckee
to
give
us
a
quick
update,
she'll
share
with
you,
but
I,
as
many
of
you,
do,
read
the
numbers
every
day,
charleston
county
had
a
total
of
12
new
cases
yesterday
and
only
10.
A
BA
BA
BA
BA
BA
BA
So
if,
if
you
haven't
been
vaccinated
yet
hopefully
this
will
get
you
thinking
about
it.
Vaccination
really
is
our
way
out.
If
we
look
at
cases
over
the
last
few
couple
of
weeks
in
the
in
the
tri-county
area,
we
can
see
that
those
with
no
immunity
have
and
that's
from
either
being
vaccinated
or
from
having
prior
infection.
BA
They
are
157
times
more
likely
to
get
coveted
and
get
become
sick
from
covid
than
than
those
who
have
some
sort
of
immunity
from
from
vaccination
or
from
being
priorly
prior
in
having
a
prior
infection.
Sorry
again,
looking
at
this
two
week
trend,
so
some
really
interesting
things
that
they
were
that
they
shared
with
me
today.
We
look
at
the
two
week
trend
in
south
carolina
counties
with
less
than
40
percent
of
action.
BA
Vaccination
rates
actually
continue
to
have
a
positive
increase
in
their
growth
rate,
so
40
is
what
they're
finding
at
least
in
the
data.
Currently
a
threshold
is,
is
kind
of
important,
those
with
at
least
40
percent.
Their
growth
rate
is
actually
negative.
17
and
those
are
statistically
significant.
BA
BA
BA
I
apologize
if
you
can
hear
dogs
barking
in
the
background
and
then
lastly,
city
employee
cases.
We
currently
have
one
active
case:
we've
had
283
cases
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
and
we
are
trending
right
along
with
south
carolina
with
43
of
our
staff
fully
vaccinated
and
I'm
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions.
Anyone
might
have.
A
A
A
It's
best
to
have
an
appointment,
but
you
don't
need
one
just
keep
spreading
the
word.
You
saw
those
statistics
from
tracy.
It
really
makes
a
difference
in
terms
of
transmission
and
health
to
to
have
to
be
vaccinated.
So
we
strongly
encourage
folks
to
do
that.
So
susan,
if
you
will
pick
back
up
and
lead
us
through
these
couple
of
emergency
ordinances
that
we
have
before
us.
AZ
AZ
We
think
that
this
is
an
important
step
in
the
recovery
effort
of
the
business
district,
and
so
we
are
recommending
that
this
emergency
ordinance
be
approved
again.
The
planning
department
is
working
with
legal
to
propose
a
permanent
ordinance
along
these
lines
and
would
expect
to
have
it
to
you
hopefully
before
this
ordinance
would
expire.
I
AZ
Well,
I
do
think
it
would
impact
our
mask
ordinance
and
some
other
restrictions,
but
the
timing
of
the
executive
executive
order-
and
this
meeting
is
perfect
because
actually
the
next
item
I'm
going
to
talk
about
details,
how
we
are
basically
eliminating
or
allowing
the
mask
ordinance
to
expire.
So
my
reading
of
his
executive
order
and
again
it
just
came
out,
but
it
looks
like
it-
is
primarily
focused
on
mask
ordinances
that
we
might
have
had
in
effect,
as
well
as
it
deals
with
vaccination
passports.
AZ
But
I
did
not
read
anything
in
it.
That
would
seem
to
impact
this
emergency
ordinance
or
a
few
others
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
in
a
second.
The
state
of
emergency
is
continuing
in
south
carolina,
so
I
do
think
we
do
have
the
authority
to
implement
to
continue
to
implement
certain
of
the
emergency
ordinances.
F
K
AZ
We
felt
that
it
was
important
to
recommend
that
the
local
state
of
emergency
be
rescinded.
The
emergency
ordinance
number
2021
o41
relating
to
face
coverings
b,
rescinded
the
emergency
ordinance,
20
20
38,
prohibiting
price
gouging
related
to
covid,
and
also
emergency
ordinance,
number
2020-069
relating
to
decreasing
the
the
risk
of
exposure
to
covet
19
in
retail
businesses
be
terminated.
All
of
those
emergency
order.
Ordinances
would
be
terminated
effective
tonight.
If
this
resolution
is
approved.
AZ
AZ
We
were
asked
to
extend
those
by
staff
and
and
others,
and
it's
my
understanding,
and
I
guess
the
mayor
can
clarify
this
with
regard
to
the
physical
presence
of
council
members
at
council
meetings.
The
idea
is
over
the
summer
we
will
have
a
hybrid
meeting
of
zoom
plus
in
person,
but
that,
before
september,
we'll
have
a
permanent
rule
or
amendment
to
our
rules
on
how
we
should
go,
move
forward
council
meetings
and
ways
and
means
committee
meetings.
F
A
So
I
think
the
our
intent
on
the
meetings.
My
colleagues
is
that
we
would,
as
we've
discussed,
meet
in
person
from
here
on
out
for
ways
and
means
and
counsel,
but
we
we
wanted
to
keep
this
ordinance
active
in.
In
the
event
we
want
to
make
some
changes
to
our
committee
meetings
and,
and
then
we
we
still
have
our
bar
planning.
Commission
meetings
are
still
being
held.
Virtually.
A
And
and
to
the
mask
ordinance,
we're
in
in
essence
allowing
the
mass
ordinance
to
expire
there'll
be
no
more
requirements
inside
or
outside
or
anywhere.
However,
we
do
ask
our
citizens
to
practice
good
public
health
and
and
and
follow
cdc
guidelines
and
to
recommend
that
they
get
vaccinated.
However,
it's
all
just
on
a
recommendation
basis.
There
are
no
requirements:
council,
member,
shea
brady,
then
jackson.
G
Thank
you,
mr
marin.
I
read
the
governor's
proclamation
and
even
if
we
were
of
a
mind
to
extend
that
mass
ordinance,
it
pretty
much
guts
us
from
having
that
option
of
doing
so
so
jennison.
The
mass
ordinance
requirement
is
just
going
to
be
in
line
with
the
governor's
directive,
even
if
we
want
to
do
something
otherwise,
and
I
would
support
the
other
suggestions
that
you
have
made
and
that
susan
have
proposed
to
us.
G
I
just
make
sense
what
we're
doing
and
I
would
encourage
our
citizens
continue
to
practice
good,
safe,
distancing
and,
while
indoors
wear
a
mask
and
if
you
haven't,
I
would
certainly
encourage
all
of
our
citizens.
Let's
get
those
numbers
up
on
the
vaccinations
that
we
have
it's
impressive.
What
we've
got
so
far,
but
still
like
to
get
at
numbers
a
little
bit
high.
I
think,
but
we
saw
as
to
the
the
higher
the
numbers
over
40
percent,
the
higher
numbers
that
go
down
on
people
who
are
contracting
the
disease
and
fatalities.
H
H
AU
That
was
my
exact
question
too,
to
clarify
what
can
happen
inside
a
retail
establishment,
so
I
I
do
think
that
we
should
make
that
point
and
I'm
sure
this,
the
king
street
business
district
and
and
all
of
the
you
know,
people
that
follow
our
business
services.
Announcements,
we'll
we'll
be
really
I'm
trying
to
clarify
that.
So
we
take
the
mystery
away
from
our
business
owners.
BB
AR
AZ
AZ
If
it's
a
city-owned
facility,
we
have
been
following,
and
I
see
tracy
nodding
her
head
and
she
and
mark
and
others
have
been
working
on
a
committee
through
the
last
10
or
11
months
on
these
questions.
But
if
it's
a
city-owned
facility,
we've
been
asking
the
operators
or
the
managers
to
follow
our
phased
programs,
and
so
that
that
is
where
we
are
right
now,
so
I
don't
know
tracy
or
mark
if
you
want
to
add
anything
to.
BA
That
no
that's
exactly
right!
We've
been
you
know.
We've
tried
to
make.
You
know
sure
that
all
special
events
that
happen
within
the
city
are
or
on
city
property.
I
should
say,
make
sure
that
they
are
handled
all
the
same
and
fairly
and
and
take
into
account
see
the
most
current
cdc
guidance.
So
we've
had,
we've
has,
as
everything
covered
it's
been
little
bit
of.
L
A
Well,
upon
their
recent
requests,
we
reevaluated
it
and
allowed
them
to
increase
their
capacity
upon
their
requests.
Now
that
we've
gone
to
phase
four
and
the
mass
coordinates
has
been
lifted,
we
welcome
the
river
dogs
to
make
another
request
to
us
to,
with
with
current
guidelines
and
and
and
the
lack
of
ordinances
in
place,
we'll
be
happy
to
respond
to
them
and
adjust
their
capacity
appropriately.
A
L
You
want
to
add
anything,
mr
mayor.
I
just
want
to
add
that
they've
already
made
that
request
and
my
response,
our
response
to
them
was
after
the
actions
the
council
took
tonight,
we
would
get
back
to
them
with
the
updated
actions
and
re-evaluate
the
request,
so
they've
already
made
it
and
we'll
get
back
to
them
after
tonight.
Great.
AJ
A
B
A
A
They
had
a
big
responsibility
and
effort
over
the
last
year
of
enforcing
our
mask
ordinance.
Sometimes,
as
you
know,
wasn't
popular
and
they
they
took
some
some
challenges
for
it.
I
must
say
at
the
end
of
the
day
they
help
save
lives.
I'm
convinced
of
that.
So
I
want
to
applaud
them
for
their
efforts.
A
They
were
just
carrying
out
our
policy
and
I
did
have
a
little
conversation
at
department
head
meeting
this
morning
and-
and
I
was
expressing
how
how
happy
I
was
that
that
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
let
this
ordinance
expired,
but
dan
made
a
very
convincing
argument
that
he
was
happier
than
me
and
probably
the
happiest
city
employee,
to
see
the
mask
ordinance
expire.
Thank
you,
dan
and.
BC
G
AV
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
There
was
one
amendment
to
an
agreement
to
allow
the
mayor
more
flexibility
and
negotiating
that
councilman
griffin
spoke
to
doing
our
ways
and
mean
it
also
passed,
as
he
said,
past
unanimous
at
public
works,
and
then
the
only
item
you
see
there,
the
medical
district
tunnel
extension
at
earhart,
it's
a
big
one.
On
past
unanimous,
I
want
to
certainly
give
thanks
to
governor
mcmaster
your
special
thanks
to
the
mayor
for
his
one-on-one
approach
with
governor
mcmaster,
dr
cole,
and
his
team
of
professionals
over
at
medical
university.
AV
Councilman
seeking
knows
this,
but
for
this
extension,
this
flooding
concern
would
have
to
have
waited
for
the
calhoun
west
drainage
project,
which
is
probably,
I
don't
know,
a
400
million
dollar
drainage
project.
This
allows
thousands
of
workers
to
be
taken
out
of
flooding
by
virtue
of
the
spring
fishbearing
to
10
o'clock
drainage
project,
so
this
is
extremely
cost
effective
to
do
it.
This
way,
it's
a
big
win
for
our
region,
so
I
want
to
certainly
thank
all
of
them
concerned
and
obviously
mr
fountain
and
our
engineering
team
as
well.

There
he
is
good
evening,
everyone
happy
to
answer
any
questions
as
necessary.
The
county
highlighted
a
number
of
the
large-scale
projects,
including
improvements
along
maybank
and
maine,
and
otherwise,
but
also
some
of
the
smaller
projects,
and,
I
don't
say
small
because
of
their
impact,
but
small
because
of
difference
in
cost
of
projects
as
well,
that
have
to
do
with
pedestrian
safety,
specific
signalization
improvements
and
otherwise,
as
you
know,
we
have
a
every
other
month
meeting
with
city
staff,
county
staff
and
scdot
staff.
BD
We
also
get
an
updated
list
of
those
projects
and
where
they
stand
from
devry
and
richard
every
other
week,
and
so
other
report
and
the
presentation
they
gave
today
happy
to
provide
it
to
council
members
as
necessary
or
speak
more
about
how
many
individual
projects.
As
a
reminder,
we
did
submit
our
transportation
sales
tax
request
list
earlier
this
year.

Thank
you
and
I
was
on
the
the
zoom
meeting,

my
camera
was
acting
up

so
was
my
audio,
so
I
couldn't
chime
in,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
mr
benjamin

the
committee
for
following
through
with
these
various
projects.
There
were
several
of
them
that
are
within
district
nine
and
several
of
them
that
are
involved
in
wes
ashley,
then
key
that
we
can
get
that
report
that
mr

had
submitted
to
us.
It
was.

We
also
received
a
traffic
calming
update
in
terms
of
repaired
speed
bumps
as
well
as
new
speed,
bumps
that
are
being
installed,
and
mr
somerville
also
informed
us
that
new
petitions
are
being
turned
in
that
will
be
considered
under
the
2022
budget
as
well,
and
that
was
pretty
much
the
breadth
of
the
meeting,

I
would
ask
councils
consideration
to
pass
the
east

Thank
you
last
meeting
I
when
I
said
I
started
calling
names
and
thanking
people
who
worked
very
hard
on
that
code
of
conduct,
ordinance
and
one
very
important
cog
to
that
was
mr
mcqueen,
and
I
forgot
to
give
him
all
due
respect
for
what
he
did
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
for
the
last
two
weeks.
He
didn't
notice,
but
that's
been
wearing
on
my
mind,
to
send
him
an
email
I
said.
No,
I
need
to
do
it
publicly.
AV
I
mean
he
went
above
and
beyond,
and
the
legal
team
did
in
reaching
out
to
all

members
giving
them
an
opportunity
to
participate.

mean,

don't

doing
workouts
I
mean
after
hours.
I
you
can
see
his
sincerity
in
it.
So
first
I
apologize
for
not
giving
him
recognition,
but
certainly
want
to
give
him
praises
and
salutations
tonight
for
the
good
work
that
he
did,
because
it
mattered.
E
E
Yes,
I
want
to
make
a
correction
on
yesterday
when
we
had
the
reuben
cutting
for
the
james
lewis
complex,
and
some
of
you
all
had
missed
it,
but
it
was
something
great
that
had
happened
that
particular
day,
but
we
had
a
little
on
the
agenda
itself.
It
was
a
mistake
there
and
I
wanted
to
correct
that
mistake.
In
my
haste
I
was
going
so
fast.
I
didn't
look
over
it
when
you
had
councilman
robert
mitchell
as
the
mayor
pro
tem
and
I'm
not
the
mayor
pro
temps.
E
I'm
gonna
make
sure
make
this
publicly
that
councilman
jackson
is
the
mayor
of
pro
tem,
so
I'm
gonna,
let
her
know
that
that
was
an
oversight
and
that
when
it
was
doing
the
the
gender
this
was
supposed
to
come
since
last
year
and
they
had
this
thing
written
out
so
far
as
there's
concern
and
that's
why
they
made
that
mistake
during
that
time.
So
I
just
want
to
let
her
know
that
that
was
a
mistake
made.
E
H
A
A
A
He
truly
was
a
council
member
that
represented
all
the
people
of
this
city
and
just
a
terrific
record
of
service.
I
don't
think
it
could
have
been
more
fitting.
I
I
forget
who
first
recommended
we.
We
named
the
the
complex
there
in
his
honor,
but
it
was
a
great
idea
and
so
appropriate
and
and
council
members
mitchell,
waring
jackson,
gregory
all
made
lovely
comments
about
councilmember
lewis
and
his
service
so
well
deserved.
So
if,
if
you
weren't
there,
please
shout
out
to
him
and
give
him
another.
Congratulations!
G
Shade,
yes,
mr
man,
I
apologize.
I've
completely
left
it
off
my
calendar
to
be
with
you
all
yesterday,
and
I
wanted
to
be
there
to
recognize
councilman
lewis
and
what
you
just
said
that
part
of
the
discussions
we
started
off
with
the
recreation
committee
as
to
re
looking
at
things
to
give
him
that
honor
on
other
facilities-
and
it
was
a
collaborative
effort
from
members
of
the
recreation
committee
to
look
at
this
option
for
the
affordable
housing
night,
which
was
more
fitting.
G
I
think
for
him
in
a
recreational
facility
or
a
gymnasium
or
something
along
those
lines.
And
I
think
he's
I'm
just
so
very
proud
of
james
for
the
work
that
he
has
given
to
the
community
and
to
the
city,
and
god
bless
him.
This
is
very
fitting
and
I
will
reach
out
to
him
as
well
so
pleased
to
please.
A
AV
Mr
man,
one
last
item
on
recreation
and
I
was
going
to
do
this
at
recreation
report,
but
I
don't
think
we
have
on
this
meeting,
but
those
students
at
clemson,
university
and
their
professors
and
mr
huff,
the
director,
did
a
wonderful
dock
and
shelter
over
on
what
is
known
as
the
the
turtle
pond
over
in
ardmore.
I
invite
everybody
to
go
and
take
a
look
at
I'll
bring
pictures
at
the
next
meeting.
I
can't
tell
you
the
wonderful
design
that
basically
was
put
over
what
is
a
drainage
collection
pond.
AV
They
use
their
resources,
which
went
over
budget.
They
obviously
use
their
design.
They
call
on
allies
who
came
for
example,
of
one
of
the
top
companies
that
installed
pierce
for
docs
came
and
basically
put
those
pairs
in
at
cost
and,
as
I
said,
it
went
over
budget.
This
is
a
something
that's
going
to
add
to
the
quality
of
life
for
decades
and
what
is
now
underserved
community
is
very,
very
much
being
revitalized.
AV
AV
I
mean
again
the
students
at
clemson,
designed
that
it's
a
wonderful
cable,
looking
bridge
it
looks
like
something
miss
dale
choco
that
would
probably
be
on
daniel
island,
but
it
is
off
of
the
bikeway
leading
pedestrians
to
the
w.l
stevens
park.
Again,
the
students
at
clemson
did
that
we
have
to
find
somewhere.
I
I
gotta
tell
you
that
doc
over
there
that
they
put
in
would
have
had
to
be
in
probably
six
figures.
Okay,
have
we
gone
out
and
bid
at
that?
AV
If
not
more,
we
have
to
find
a
way
to
give
back,
so
those
students
can
do
that
again,
other
areas
around
the
city
or
in
the
region,
but
the
gift
that
they
gave.
I
would
hope
that
some
plaque
would
be
erected
to
those
students,
letting
the
people
who
will
frequent.
There
know
who
did
this
and
it
was
volunteers
that
did
it
led
by
again
the
director
at
clemson
extension
school
of
architecture
down
there
and
their
professors.
AV
It
was
a
wonderful,
wonderful
event
when
they
came
frankly
to
celebrate
the
work
that
they've
done
so
I
I
would
hope
that
we
find
a
way
they
shouldn't
show
the
cost,
which
is
a
wonderful
benefit
to
all
of
us.
They
need
to
be
recognized
in
another
way
that
I
did
today,
so
maybe
at
the
next
meeting
recreation
director,
mr
chronicle,.
A
Well,
thank
you
for
bringing
I've
seen
the
little
bridge
near
w.l
stephens
pool,
but
I
haven't
seen
the
work
at
the
turtle
pond.
Yet
I
knew
they
were
going
to
do
that.
I
see
that
ray
huff's
still
got
a
hollywood
square
here.
Well,
he
is,
I
don't
know.
If
he's
listening,
all
right
ray
are
you
are
you
there?
AU
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
know
this
is
spontaneous,
but
while
we're
sort
of
doing
that
spontaneous
thing
with
the
that
we
have
available
to
us
tonight,
I
I
was
hoping
that
maybe
we
could
ask
council
member
del
chapo
to
give
a
rendition
of
how
she
worked
on
the
the
graveyard,
the
cemetery
case
in
in
in
her
district.
I
I
think
it's
amazing.
The
newspaper
did
a
really
good.
AU
You
know
attempt
at
the
story,
but
she
was
instrumental
in
all
of
the
behind
the
scenes,
work
that
got
dehect
to
put
a
stop
order
on
the
developer.
That
was
about
to
go
forward
with
legal
permits.
There
was
no
question
about
that,
but
they
were
acting
in
my
opinion
on
the
letter
of
the
law
and
not
the
spirit
of
the
law,
and
I
think
council
member
del
chapo
did
an
amazing
work
in
helping
them
appreciate
the
difference.
