A
B
All
right,
I
think
we
got
everybody
up
here.
Thank
you
all
for
joining
us
this
evening
by
the
way
appreciate
it,
I'd
like
to
call
to
order
this
july
20th
meeting
of
charleston
city
council.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
B
E
E
We
thank
you
that
they
make
the
most
of
their
talents
that
you've
blessed
them
with
and
that
they've
done
great
things
with
it.
Lord
will
you
continue
to
bless
them
and
allow
us
all
to
learn
to
make
the
most
of
the
gifts
that
you've
given
each
of
us,
we
ask
that
you
protect
our
firefighters
and
our
police
officers
as
they
put
themselves
at
risk,
so
we
can
live
safely
and
peacefully.
E
Here
in
charleston,
we
ask
for
your
continued
blessing
on
all
city
of
charleston
employees,
as
well
as
the
citizens
of
charleston
be
with
and
guide
those
who
are
being
appointed
to
boards
and
committees
tonight
as
well.
Lord,
we
ask
that
you'll
preside
over
this
meeting,
especially
as
we
present
our
comprehensive
plan
and
our
recreation
master
plan,
as
we
attempt
to
peer
into
the
future.
We
know
that
you're,
the
only
one
who
knows
what
the
future
will
hold.
E
We
thank
you
for
the
knowledge
and
talents
of
the
planning,
commission
staff
and
others
who've
devoted
so
much
time
lately
we're
each
here
with
a
desire
to
make
charleston
better.
So
if
you'll,
please
give
us
a
sense
of
unity
and
allow
us
to
work
as
a
team
and
lead
us
to
decisions
that
will
be
pleasing
to
you,
we
humbly
ask
for
your
continued
blessings
on
charleston,
the
state
of
south
carolina
and
the
united
states
for
it's
in
jesus
name.
We
pray.
B
B
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
We
have
a
few
recognitions
and
presentations
first,
I'd
like
to
thank
our
new
hostess
of
the
girl
yard
center,
and
I
want
to
introduce
you
to
the
wonderful
lissa
frenkel
she's,
the
new
director
of
our
girl
yard
center
and,
if
last
weekend
is
any
indication-
and
I
know
it
is
she's
going
to
do
a
fabulous
job
of
uplifting,
the
cultural
arts
of
our
city.
B
We
had
this
event
over
at
the
citadel
that
the
girl
yard
coach
sponsored
bringing
the
american
ballet
theater
to
charleston,
and
it
was
a
remarkable
performance
and
so
well
attended
by
almost
6
000
of
our
citizens.
So
lissa
served
as
the
managing
director
of
the
park
avenue
armory,
which
is
in
new
york
city
and
similar
to
the
gayard.
It's
a
very
multicultural
arts
organization
and
venue,
I
think,
a
little
bigger
than
the
git
yard,
but
her
hands-on
experience.
There
directly
comes
to
us
here
at
the
gill
yard.
Prior
to
that
she
was.
B
She
worked
with
lincoln
center
and
helped
with
a
500
million
dollar
cultural
redevelopment
of
lincoln
center
in
manhattan,
she's
originally
from
boston,
but
she
received
her
undergraduate
degree
in
art,
history
from
emory
university
and
listened
to
this
planning
department.
After
that
she
got
a
degree,
a
graduate
degree
in
urban
planning,
so
she
might
be
able
to
you
know,
come
up
the
stairs
and
put
on
another
hat
and
consult
with
the
planning
department.
I
invite
lissa
to
come
forward
and
say
a
few
words
to
us.
B
F
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
son.
Can
you
hear
me
great
so
I'm
delighted
to
be
here
as
a
new
president
and
ceo
of
the
gilliard
center
and
to
welcome
all
of
you.
I
hardly
need
to
welcome
you
to
your
own
house
we're
we're
delighted
to
be
partners
with
you
and
that
there's
such
a
great
partnership
with
the
city,
and
I
hope
that
will
only
strengthen
under
my
leadership
and
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
I
started
off
my
tenure
here
with
the
big
bang.
F
There
were
6
000
attendees
at
the
american
ballet
theater
performance
at
the
citadel
this
past
weekend.
It
was
a
lot
of
fun.
It
was
a
beautiful
presentation
of
ballet
and
I
think
an
example
of
the
type
of
partnership
that
we
hope
to
continue
with
other
charleston
institutions
like
with
the
citadel
here
at
the
gilliard
center.
F
It
also
was
sort
of
the
kickoff
of
our
artistic
season,
which
we
are
starting
in
earnest
over
labor
day
with
the
lowcountry
jazz
festival
again
here
at
the
gilliard,
which
we
hope
you
all
will
join
us
for
and
help
us
celebrate
kind
of
the
revival
of
the
arts.
After
this
very.
G
F
Programs
with
the
american
ballet
theater
dancers,
working
with
both
intermediate
level
and
beginning
level,
ballet
students
on
our
main
stage,
which
is
thrilling
for
all
the
kids
and
again,
a
sort
of
kick
off
of
our
program,
which
I
know
you
are
familiar
with,
where
we
bring
in
many
many
students
a
year
to
experience
the
art
on
our
main
stages.
Engaging
with,
I
think.
B
Thank
you,
listen.
We
certainly
look
forward
to
working
with
you,
so
next
we'd
like
to
recognize
olympic
athlete,
raven
saunders,
who
unfortunately
can't
join
us
tonight.
B
I
think
she's
already
in
tokyo
preparing
for
the
big
show
the
olympics
and
the
time
is,
you
know,
12
hours
different
from
us,
so
hopefully
she's
resting
up
for
the
olympics
to
start,
but
at
our
recreation
committee
meeting
just
friday
was
it
we
approved-
and
we
will
later
in
this
meeting
formally
approved
by
council,
the
the
naming
of
the
track
at
stony
field
and
raven
saunders
honor,
and
I
want
to
call
on
council
member
jason
sacran,
maybe
to
share
a
few
words
with
us
about
raven,
since
he
knew
her
from
his
school
charleston
school
district.
J
J
By
going
to
youtube
practicing
in
the
parking
lot
across
the
street
for
her
brother
was
not
a
chocolate
field,
no
idea,
basically,
by
10th
grade
she
was
well-known.
She
had
remarkable
first
meeting.
She
even
had
the
proper
retirement.
She
just
showed
up
put
things
in
perspective
by
the
age
of
20.
She
had
won
four
ncaa
championships.
J
J
B
Thank
you,
councilmember.
Any
other
comments.
I
would
just
add
that,
did
you
all
see
the
clip
from
raven's
longest
shot
put
in
her
personal
history
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
when
she
qualified
for
the
team?
First
words
out
of
her
mouth
was
charleston
south
carolina.
I
swear.
We
didn't
pay
her
to
promote
us,
but
she
represents
us
so
well
we're
so
proud
of
her.
So,
no
matter
what
the
outcome
we
we
look
forward
to
having
her
at
at
a
meeting
when
when
she
returned
from
tokyo
now
I
just
found
this
out
the
other
day.
B
I
thought
I'd
mention
it
to
council,
particularly
in
light
of
the
long
agenda
that
we
have
this
evening,
that
we
have
another
charlestonian
who's
going
to
be
an
olympian
this
year,
and
that
is
chris
middleton,
who
is
a
star
player
for
the
milwaukee
bucks
when
he
finishes
up
the
series
he'll
be
going
to
tokyo
as
well
and
representing
charleston
and
our
country
on
the
olympic
basketball
team.
So
I
mention
that
because
the
milwaukee
bucks-
hopefully
the
final
game,
starts
at
nine
o'clock
this
this
evening.
B
B
Captain
conlon
y'all
served
the
city
of
charleston
in
our
police
department
for
52
years,
52
years
really
remarkable
achievement
and
I'm
going
to
share
this
proclamation
now
with
you
all,
whereas
the
city
of
charleston
wishes
to
recognize
one
of
its
most
dedicated
employees
of
the
charleston
police
department.
Captain
phillip
j
conlon
and
captain
connolly
graduated
from
saint
andrews
high
school
and
enlisted
in
the
united
states
naval
reserve,
where
he
served
from
1956
to
60.
in
62.
B
He
worked
one
to
two
days
a
week
for
a
few
hours
before
beginning
his
regular
night
shift
at
west
fayco.
Captain
conlon
gained
more
time
in
service.
He
was
granted
the
opportunity
to
attend
multiple
police
trainings
across
the
country
which
he
personally
financed
and
was
recognized
for
his
accomplishments
and
dedication
to
the
organization
through
promotional
advancement.
B
So
in
72
he
was
promoted
to
corporal
1974
to
sergeant
1975
to
lieutenant
and
in
1979
to
captain
he
humbly
tried
to
refuse
each
promotion
as
his
true
passion
for
the
job
had
always
been
being
a
patrol
officer,
whereas
captain
conlon
has
trained
more
than
200
reserve
officers
over
the
course
of
his
52
years
at
the
police
department,
whereas
one
of
the
most
cherished
opportunities
for
captain
conlon
was
working
for
the
river
dogs
baseball
games.
He
worked
the
baseball
games
there
for
47
years
and
enjoyed
meeting
and
engaging
with
the
patrons
there.
B
That's
why
we
had
the
event
at
the
ballpark
the
other
night.
Captain
conlon
is
devoted
family
man
with
a
wife
of
24
years,
three
daughters,
four
steps,
three
granddaughters
six
great-granddaughters
and
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
charleston,
our
city,
council
and
all
of
our
citizens.
Captain.
I
wish
you
expressed
my
deepest
gratitude
to
you
for
your
outstanding
work
and
52
years
of
dedicated
service
to
the
charleston
police
department.
Now,
therefore,
I
john
j
techenberg
mayor
of
the
city
of
charleston,
hereby
proclaimed
today
july
20th.
It's
captain
philip
j
conlon
day
in
the
city
of.
B
K
B
B
Thank
you
for
being
with
us
this
evening.
So
next
we
have
a
brief
presentation
from
dr
kendra
stewart
with
the
riley
center
over
the
college
of
charleston.
Among
her
many
duties,
she's
agreed
to
lead
up
an
amazing
community-wide
engagement,
citizen
engagement,
that's
called
one
region,
road
map
opportunities
for
all
kendra.
L
Thank
you.
One
region,
roadmap
opportunities
for
all
is
a
regional
partnership
formed
to
strengthen
our
economy
and
produce
opportunities
for
all
residents
by
delivering
strategies
and
actions
that
will
make
a
difference
in
the
people's
lives
in
our
tri-county
region.
L
The
partnership
is
built
on
shared
desire
of
the
public
and
private
sectors
to
make
our
region
stronger
and
more
resilient
facing
major
disruptions,
such
as
the
global
pandemic
and
addressing
long-standing
challenges
related
to
inequality,
as
our
community
recovers
from
covid19.
We
need
a
robust,
proactive
and
actionable
roadmap
to
economic
security
and
stability.
L
L
We
understand
the
pandemic
has
impacted
all
facets
of
our
community
stalling
the
tourism
economy,
increasing
housing,
insecurity,
changing
where
we
work,
how
we
commute
and
how
we
shop.
This
recovery
and
resiliency
plan
will
include
strategies
to
address
some
of
the
most
critical
challenges
that
have
merged
over
the
course
of
the
past
year.
L
We
utilize
eight
areas
of
focus
based
on
the
previous
planning
work
of
our
regional
partners.
These
eight
areas
are
the
regional
dynamics
and
they
organize
our
plan
and
focus
groups.
The
central
themes
of
the
plan
are
equity
and
economic
momentum.
These
two
dynamics
will
drive
all
of
our
strategies.
The
strategies
will
be
organized
around
six
action
areas:
affordability,
global
fluency,
infrastructure,
innovation
and
entrepreneurship,
talent
and
quality
of
place.
These
action
areas
are
our
framework
for
organizing
the
issues
facing
our
region
and
the
strategies
needed
to
address
them.
L
I'm
sorry,
these
slides
are
so
small,
but
we'll
provide
copies.
We
are
engaged
in
a
one-year
process
to
develop
the
plan
and
are
currently
in
our
public
engagement
phase.
To
date,
we
have
examined
long-term
trends
and
the
impacts
of
kovid
on
the
region
and
discuss
these
issues
in
our
first
round
of
focus
groups,
the
focus
groups
also
gathered
input
from
participants
about
what
they
under
understand
to
be
the
strengths,
weaknesses,
opportunities
and
threats
in
our
region.
Currently,
we
are
engaging
more
broadly
with
the
public
through
our
business
and
resident
surveys.
L
B
Any
questions
for
miss
kendra,
miss
stewart,
dr
stewart.
None
all
right!
We
look
forward
to
it.
Thank
you
kendra.
So
next
is
our
public
hearings.
We
have
a
few
of
those
this
evening
and
normally
mr
morgan
helps
me
to
introduce
those,
but
this
one,
I
don't
think,
came
out
of
the
planning
department.
This
tracy
mckee
was
the
lead
for
this.
It
was
it's
been
brought
to
council
before
it's
a
an
ordinance
that
changes
our
right-of-way
rules
of
the
road,
so
to
speak,
for
right
away
and
charges
thereof,
miss
mckee.
M
There
we
go
so
thank
you,
mayor
and
good
evening,
members
of
council-
you
all
have
seen
this
before,
but
tonight
we
have
a
proposal
for
some
permit
fee
structure,
change
for
for
tnt.
M
So
the
goals
of
of
this
restructuring,
if
you
will,
is
to
really
reduce
the
number
of
applications
or
the
number
of
departments
that
are
visited
to
gain
approval,
to
do
work
in
the
right
of
way
and,
like
I've
said
before
this
is
really
kind
of
the
first
bite
at
a
big
elephant.
M
And
so
really
what
we're
doing
tonight
is
kind
of
the
second
piece
of
this.
Where
we're
looking
to
increase
safety
and
minimize
disruption
of
residents
and
businesses.
We're
doing
that
through
increasing
collaboration.
Optimizing
the
length
of
time
for
right-of-way
permits
and
proactively
inspecting
right-of-way
permit
activity.
M
And
I'm
glad
I
printed
them
out,
because
I
can't
see
them
on
the
big
screen,
so
we
all
know
that
the
state
by
the
state
rules
we
we
can
only
charge
what
it
costs
us
to
actually
produce
these
permits
and
review
them.
So
we
went
through
a
thorough
analysis
looking
at
what
it
took
for
us
to
actually
issue
these
permits.
So
we
did.
We
were
very
thoughtful
about
that.
So
this
fee
structure
has
that
in
mind,
and
so
we
did
some
process
mapping.
M
The
new
structure
will
look
like
this
in
general,
so
we've
broken
it,
we've
kind
of
simplified
the
fee
structure
and
basically
we're
looking
we're
looking
at
full
street
closures,
partial
street
closures
and
those
can
be
broken
down
by
whether
it's
a
major
or
minor
street,
and
we
use
some
classifications
that
are
in
our
gis
system
and
the
dot
system.
For
for
that,
clarification
and
then
parking,
space,
closures
or
obstructions
and
those
are
delineated
between
whether
they're
needed
or
non-metered
spaces.
M
You
know
it's
it's
the
highest
applicable
fee
for
the
review,
as
well
as
the
inspections
and
then,
if
there's
any
metered
spaces
that
are
impacted
and
I'm
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions
you
all
might
have.
B
N
Mark
knapp
call
it
what
you
like,
but
it's
another
tax.
N
N
O
O
B
B
M
I
think
mallory's
here,
I
believe
the
date
is
august.
16Th
is
the
is
the
implementation
date,
and
so
it
takes
a
little
time
to
for
us
to
get
it
implemented.
B
We
have
a
motion
to
approve
all
in
favor.
Please
say
aye
any
any
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
now
for
third
reading
or
ratification
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Tom
is
here
yeah,
okay,
so
next
up
is
our
charleston
city
plan
comprehensive
plan.
Mr
summerfield.
R
Good
evening,
mr
mayor
members
of
the
council,
so
with
me
today,
going
to
come
join
me
is
mr
christopher
morgan,
who
has
valiantly
led
the
effort,
through
this
covid
period,
in
working
to
deliver
a
what,
I
think
is
a
groundbreaking,
comprehensive
plan
for
the
city
this
evening,
we're
requesting
first
read
and
in
the
public
hearing
on
this
item.
Understanding,
of
course,
that
there
is
a
pretty
intense
workshop.
R
A
second
one,
that's
been
requested
by
the
council
that
we
will
be
engaging
in
in
september
before
this
item
would
come
forward
for
a
vote
on
the
actual
plan.
So
with
that,
I
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
mr
morgan,
who
would
like
to
go
through
just
a
couple,
quick
slides
to
do
some
table
setting
for
the
public
hearing,
and
then
we
are
prepared
for
any
questions.
Thank
you,
sir.
S
S
Obviously
you
all
will
have
more
comments
beyond
those
you've
had
in
your
workshop
and
we
will
be
undertaking
those
as
we
move
forward
with
the
further
council
review,
but
we
wanted
to,
of
course,
as
per
state
law,
have
this
public
hearing
tonight
and
so
we're
just
going
to
kind
of
go
into
a
few
of
the
slides
that
talk
about
what
a
plan
is
for
the
city
of
charleston
in
in
the
state
of
south
carolina.
S
So
we
have
the
elements
that
are
all
required
for
a
plan
and
I
hope
some
of
you
can
see
these
and
you've
seen
a
lot
of
these
slides
in
your
workshop
before.
But
there
are
elements
that
range
from
population
and
natural
resources
to
economic
development
and
transportation.
S
This
plan,
of
course,
has
strong
emphasis
in
the
areas
of
housing
and
land
use,
and
then
we
also
added
an
extra
area,
and
that
was
resilience
which
was
added
to
the
required
elements
in
2020,
and
then
our
plan
expands
on
this
requirement
by
addressing
equity
and
resilience
as
interdependent
goals.
Both
resilience
and
equity
are
interwoven
throughout
the
plan
and
summarized
in
the
final
resilience
and
equity
element
in
the
document.
S
So
the
guiding
principles
of
this
plan
were
to
have
water
first
to
be
anchored
in
where
water
is
and
where
water
is
going
to
be
be
data
smart,
be
using
the
best
data
available
to
understand
the
challenges
facing
our
city.
We
have
strength
and
diversity,
be
oriented
towards
actions
to
protect
our
city's
historic
diversity
and
to
be
community
empowered
to
ask
all
members
of
the
community
to
partner.
In
this
planning
process,
we
did
have
a
very
extensive
public
engagement
process
despite
the
pandemic.
S
The
plan
incorporates
many
other
plan
documents,
some
of
which
are
soon
to
be
before
you
all
and
will
have
other
incorporation
elements
as
we
work
through
the
adoption
process
with
council.
One
of
those,
of
course,
is
the
new
charleston
parks
and
recreation
master
plan
that
you
are
going
to
be
reviewing
tonight.
Also
the
eirc
final
report
that
will
be
incorporated.
S
Other
recent
plans,
such
as
the
climate
action
plan,
our
all
hazards
and
vulnerability
assessment,
our
housing
for
a
fair
charleston,
the
dutch
dialogues
report
and
on
to
a
number
of
others,
including
other
big
ones,
such
as
plan
west
ashley
and
many
other
plans.
The
city's
worked
on
over
the
last
10
years.
S
The
plan
also
does
something
that
we
have
never
done
in
our
documents
before,
which
is
to
outline
the
historic
african-american
settlement
areas
throughout
the
city.
These
are
areas
that
are
parts
of
existing
neighborhoods
or
sometimes
independent
areas
that
deserve
special
consideration,
and
this
plan
outlines
them
and
puts
them
on
the
path
for
further
delineation
and
further
research
and
planning
efforts.
S
It
has
some
very
stark
figures
that
we
have
already
discussed
in
the
workshop:
the
figure
of
of
sixteen
thousand
over
16
000
units
needed
in
the
affordable
category
over
the
next
10
years
to
accommodate
those
who
are
already
in
our
city
and
who
are
moving
to
our
city
in
various
areas
around
the
city.
We
have
some
strategies
in
this
document
and
we'll
be
working
on
those
further,
but
it
is
a
great
area
of
emphasis
and
we
do
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
data
in
this
document
to
help
document
why
those
units
are
needed.
S
Then,
in
line
with
following
up
on
the
dutch
dialogues,
there
we
go
following
up
in
the
dutch
dialogues,
the
wagner
and
ball
engineering
and
architecture
group
that
worked
on
the
dutch
dialogues
worked
with
us
on
this
document
to
come
up
with
the
best
way
to
move
forward
with
our
city,
despite
the
water
that
is
inundating
certain
areas
and
the
re
the
threats
and
risks
we
have
from
water
in
our
city.
S
This
map,
of
course,
very
difficult
for
most
of
you
to
see,
but
in
the
document
that's
available
online,
you
can
see
very
clearly
the
areas
that
are
green,
that
are
better
for
growth,
the
areas
that
are
also
tidal,
flood
risk
areas
and
areas
that
could
have
increasing
levels
of
water
over
coming
years
and
all
of
the
land
use
recommendations
in
this
document
are
based
on
elevation
and
based
on
maps
such
as
this
one.
S
Here,
the
land
use
element
is
always
a
key
area
of
a
plan
that
is
utilized
in
south
carolina
and
we
have
our
different
land
use
categories.
Of
course,
a
plan.
It's
just
a
plan.
It
does
not
change
the
zoning.
It
just
makes
recommendations
when
you
all
in
the
future,
are
looking
at
zoning
changes
or
other
redevelopment
or
growth
opportunities
in
the
city.
S
But
these
are
the
different
land
use
categories
that
are
outlined
in
the
plan
and
again
they
are
based
on
elevation
and
ultimately,
plan
does
recommend
an
elevation
based
zoning
ordinance,
and
we
have
the
overall
map
here
that
again
has
all
parcels
in
the
city
and
surrounding
areas
inside
the
urban
growth
boundary
outlined
with
a
future
land
use
recommendation
based
on
you
know
again,
issues
such
as
elevation,
where
mass
transit
is
where
other
key
roadways
and
growth
areas
are
as
well
as
our
settlement
areas
are
outlined
on
these.
S
We
would
then
work
on
our
plan
implementation
after
the
plan
is
adopted,
incorporate
such
things
as
working
to
get
a
new
zoning
ordinance
that
we
would
be
budgeting,
for
it
incorporates
working
with
our
parks
and
rec
folks
on
better
incorporation
of
the
master
plan
from
the
one
charleston
document
and
the
eirc
document,
and
then
we
would
work
to
track
and
communicate
the
progress
of
this
plan
from
our
own
department
to
the
citizens
of
the
city,
as
well
as
reports,
regular
reports
to
council
members
and
with
that
that
is
our
document
that
we
have
it
is
available
online.
S
B
Thank
you
for
all.
I
know
the
whole
planning
department
has
worked
remarkably
on
this
plan,
but
I
think
extra
gold
star
goes
to
christopher
morgan
throughout
the
process.
So
thank
you
for
that,
mr
morgan.
Would
anyone
like
to
make
a
comment?
Please
come.
T
T
So
now
we're
20
years
in
we're
talking
about
the
comp
plan,
but
we're
going
to
put
in
diversity
is
public
safety.
That's
what's
missing
in
this.
Also,
your
meetings
under
the
fcc
230
governing
the
internet
and
social
media,
which
corporations
by
congress
have
been
indemnified
anybody,
third
party
speech,
thought
or
speech.
T
T
It's
also
indictable
and
punishable
as
a
crime
under
hollow
versus
festival,
1982
provided
for
sequencing
a
standard
but
qualified
immunity,
pierce
versus
ray
1967
54
years
ago
for
unrest
in
the
60s
and
also
the
first
six
unknown
name
agents.
50
years
of
prohibition
within
this
country,
placing
these
census
tracts
now
reduced
to
at
risk
homelessness
and
chronic
homelessness
in
this
region.
T
U
U
We
also
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
their
tremendous
work
over
the
past
year
plus
and
engaging
the
community
during
a
global
pandemic,
which
was
no
easy
task.
We
want
to
especially
thank
the
staff
for
incorporating
many
of
the
comments
that
we
have
put
forward
over
this
process
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
specifically
related
to
the
elevation-based
land,
use
planning,
recommendations,
considerations
for
multimodal
transportation
and
preservation
of
cultural
and
natural
resources.
U
Generally
speaking,
we
are
very
pleased
with
this
plan.
It's
clear
that
it's
taking
a
positive
new
direction,
incorporating
many
of
the
tough
lessons
learned
over
the
past
several
decades.
Land
use
decisions
that
have
led
us
to
traffic
flooding,
affordable
housing
issues
before
us
today.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
get
it
right
from
the
beginning,
especially
for
areas
such
as
upper
canhoy
peninsula.
U
There
are
two
key
items
that
jump
out
at
us
at
this
juncture
as
being
inconsistent
with
the
rest
of
the
plan
and
this
positive
new
vision
that
the
city
is
setting
forward
the
first
upper
cane
hoy
future
land
use.
Recommendations
currently
are
for
suburban
and
suburban
edge
zoning
to
be
followed
with
the
zoning
ordinance,
suburban
and
suburban
edge
recommendations
all
the
way
up
to
the
francis
marion
national
forest.
U
This
is
some
of
the
highest
ground
in
the
city
of
charleston.
It's
imperative
that
we
use
that
land
to
the
highest
and
best
ability
with
considerations
for
existing
transportation
infrastructure
along
the
clements
ferry
road
corridor.
Our
recommendation
would
be
to
amend
the
future
land
use
map
recommendations
from
suburban
and
suburban
edge
to
low
impact
conserved.
U
V
Good
evening,
mr
mayor
members
of
council,
kashan
drollay
with
historic
charleston
foundation
located
at
40
east
bay
street.
The
city
plan
is
a
bold
document
that,
thanks
to
a
robust
and
extensive
public
engagement
process,
represents
the
visions,
goals
and
priorities
of
the
citizens
of
charleston.
The
citizens
of
charleston
city
plan's
commitment
to
the
dutch
dialogues
report,
affordable
housing
and
maintaining
charleston's
historic
and
cultural
resources
is
highly
commendable.
V
V
We
believe
these
corridors
are
an
extremely
important
part
of
the
historic
urban
core
of
the
city
as
they're
home
to
city
hall,
charleston,
county
and
federal
judicial
complexes
and
a
mixture
of
local,
regional
and
national
businesses.
It's
critical
that
this
part
of
the
business
remain
urban
and
commercial
in
designation,
since
the
area
has
been
the
civic
and
commercial
heart
of
the
city
for
hundreds
of
years
as
such
hcf
respectfully
encourages
city
council
to
redesignate
this
area
as
city
center
or
perhaps
historic
city
center.
W
W
It
is
really
eye-opening
and
good
that
these
56
african
american
settlement,
communities
and
neighborhoods
are
recognized
red
top
maryville
ashleyville
and
many
others.
I
W
I
would
just
like
to
ask
that
you
would
consider
the
development
of
new,
affordable
housing-
neighborhoods,
yes,
fam,
instead
of
bringing
into
current
neighborhoods
when
a
developer
comes
to
the
city
said:
why
not
we
develop
new,
affordable
housing
neighborhoods.
We
really
feel
that
that
would
be
an
asset
to
the
city
and
an
essex
time
family
in
charleston.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
X
X
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
all
and
planning
commission
and
all
the
citizens
who
weighed
in
there
and
particularly
to
add
to
the
plan
a
couple
of
really
important
things
related
to
transportation,
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
those
for
you
all
so
that
you
are
aware
of
it
and
are
able
to
keep
it
in
the
plan
and
use
it
going
forward.
X
One
of
those
is
the
acknowledgement
of
complete
streets
engineering
directive,
which
changes
a
lot
about
what
they're
going
to
allow
and
what
they're
not
going
to
allow
and
what
you
all
as
a
council,
can
leverage
and
have
control
over
and
what
dot
is
going
to
be
willing
to
maintain
going
forward.
That's
a
huge
change-
and
it's
now
highlighted
in
the
comp
plan,
which
is
going
to
be
very
beneficial
for
the
city
going
forward.
X
Also
in
the
plan
now
is
assessment
of
when
contextually
appropriate
having
multi-use
paths
in
the
city
instead
of
just
sidewalks.
That's
something
that
I
know
a
lot
of
us
have
talked
about
over
the
years
and
how
to
make
that
happen.
That's
now
in
there
it's
very
important,
and
I'm
very
appreciative
that
it's
in
there-
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
all.
Y
Hi
I'm
jesse
casa
and
I
was
wondering
if
the
city
plan,
if
the
charleston's
ditch
digging
project
and
on
james
island
is,
if
that
is
accounted
for
in
this
topic.
Or
would
you
like
me
to
hold
off
until
later
to
comment.
B
Well
again,
this
is
a
comment
period,
not
a
question
and
answer
period,
but
if
you'd
like
to
maybe
get
with
mr
morgan
and
and
and
he'll,
be
able
to
look
up
that
information
for
you,
okay,.
Y
Y
It's
the
acres,
I'm
not
sure
the
name
of
it
but
you're,
there's
hundreds
of
acres
of
ditches
being
dug
by
the
city
of
charleston
on
james
island.
Y
B
This
is
regarding
the
comprehensive
plan
that's
being
proposed
for
our
city.
If
you
have
a
comment
about
another
matter,
you
probably
signed
up
for
our
public
participation
period,
okay,
yeah,
so
we're
going
to
have
that
in
just
a
little
bit.
Z
Good
evening,
christopher
king
of
the
preservation
society,
very
good
to
see
you
all
in
person,
there's
a
lot
of
tremendous
work
that
went
into
this
plan
and
don't
want
to
repeat
a
lot
of
what
was
said
tonight,
but
do
want
to
commend
city
staff
really
for
engaging
and
incorporating
a
lot
of
our
thoughts
and
really
engaging
with
us.
In
the
conversation
you
know,
public
engagement
was
a
real
challenge
and
the
team
really
got
creative
and
really
want
to
call
out
that
they
did
a
tremendous
job.
Z
We
were
pleased
to
partner
with
the
conservation
league
and
hosting
one
of
the
engagement
sessions,
and
it
was
great
to
see
that
partnership
opportunity
with
the
city
there's
a
lot
in
this
plan,
which
is
aspirational
and
it's
great,
but
the
reality
is
if
we
hope
to
do
any
of
it,
we
need
to
better
fund
the
planning
department.
We
need
additional
staff,
we're
seeing
everything
from
permits
struggling
to
big
projects
if
we
want
to
achieve
the
objectives
and
the
goals
that
we
all
aspire
to
in
this
plan.
Z
To
the
extent
that
you
are
contemplating
changes
to
the
plan,
there
are
a
few
things
that
I'd
like
to
call
your
attention
to
a
couple
recommendations
and
things
that
were
in
the
plan
that
I
didn't
see
in
the
most
current
version
number
one
under
plans
referenced.
We
asked
that
you,
please
include
the
tourism
management
plan
as
one
of
the
plans
referenced
in
this
plan
and,
secondly,
we
think
it's
critical
that
this
plan
call
for
the
creation
of
an
economic
development
department
at
the
city
of
charleston.
I
would
urge
you
to
please
consider
that
and
then.
Z
Lastly,
at
high
level,
we
ask
you
to
set
forward
a
vision
for
the
redevelopment
of
union
fear.
We
know
it's
going
to
happen,
it's
going
to
happen
in
the
next
decade.
This
plan
is
silent
to
it
and
we
think
that
that
is
a
huge
void
and
we
want
to
avoid
the
potential
negative
consequences
of
the
private
sector,
leading
on
this.
Our
benchmarks
of
success
that
we
encourage
you
to
accept
are
to
make
it
a
model
for
urban
resilient
design
to
ensure
that
it
supports
affordable
housing
and
a
vibrant
mix
of
use
that
it's
integrated.
Z
Socially,
culturally,
economically
and
architecturally,
and
it
has
excellent
commitment
to
public
space,
and
we
urge
you
to
call
for
a
robust
community
engagement
process
on
that.
No
project
will
have
a
bigger
impact
on
the
future
of
our
city
and
we
need
to
set
the
bar
now
and
set
it
high,
and
we
ask
that
you
please
do
that
in
this
plan.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
AA
B
Thank
you,
sir.
Anyone
else
like
to
be
heard
seeing
none
it
comes
to
counseling.
That's
your
first
reading,
mr.
C
Wetlands
and
open
spaces
in
the
canehoy
area
and
gaston
creek
area
should
be
preserved,
and
three
people
said
that
recommendation.
12
of
the
city
plan
should
be
removed.
Expanding
I-526
across
james
and
john's
island
did
not
solve
traffic
congestion,
it
increased
car
and
gasoline
consumption
and
place
pressure
on
rural
areas
with
important
cultural
resources,
and
those
are
all
the
comments
that
we
received
all
right.
B
AB
Some
discussion,
mr
morgan,
can
you
come
to
the
microphone
please,
because
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions.
I
think
mr
king
is
right.
The
plan
is
silent
on
union
peel.
Well,
why
is
that.
S
Well,
union
pier
at
present
is
used
in
industrial
fashion
right.
We
know
that
the
ports
authority
is
looking
at
some
other
options,
potentially
selling
all
the
land
or
some
of
it.
But
at
this
point
we
don't
know
the
complete
time
frame
on
that
by
having
it
as
industrial
in
the
document,
it
will
require
them
to
come
in
and
have
a
robust
planning
process,
because
they
would
have
to
essentially
justify
amending
our
comprehensive
plan
for
a
different
recommendation
for
that
site.
So
that
was
one
of
the
the
thought
patterns
behind.
S
AB
H
S
And,
and
I
think
in
from
our
standpoint
looking
at
that
site,
the
fault
pattern
is
that
we
want
to
work
with
the
ports
authority,
work
with
the
community
and
come
up
with
recommendations
for
it
over
time.
A
plan
like
this.
A
comprehensive
plan
like
this
is
not
that
fine
skilled.
This
is
more
like
a
30
000
foot
view
of
our
city
and
to
get
into
those
types
of
detail.
Questions
for
a
20
or
so
20
or
30,
acre
piece
of
property
is
probably
beyond
the
scope
of
a
comprehensive
plan
so
again
right.
S
So
that
is
why
we
felt
like
this
was
a
good
kind
of
interim
step
to
show
it
as
the
industrial
use.
We
also
would
like
to
update
our
downtown
plan
and
use
that,
as
part
of
our
work
next
year
to
help
us
with
recommendations
for
union
peer.
Okay,.
AB
And
we're
going
to
have
the
workshop,
so
we
can
kind
of
work
through
that.
Maybe
have
some
additional
comments
on
that
at
the
workshop.
Also
there's
a
provision
in
there
where,
as
I
understand
it,
the
cpw,
lateral,
water
and
sewell
lines
will
have
to
go
through
our
trc
process
that
that
is
not
a
fast
project.
I
think
anybody
in
this
room
was
familiar
with
admit
to
that.
AB
That
delay
would
create
millions
of
dollars
in
additional
costs
to,
in
this
case,
cpw,
which
would
have
to
be
passed
on
to
the
ratepayers,
not
only
city
rate
payers,
but
wholesale
rate
payers,
I'm
not
asking
for
that
answer
for
that
tonight,
but
between
second
and
third
reading
mr
bill.
Maybe
we
can
work
that
out.
There's
also
an
unintended
consequence
that
our
stormwater,
when
we
put
in
our
drainage,
fixes
maybe
some
of
this
1984
study
that
actually
gets
into
the
point
of
fixing
howe
road
and
places
like
that.
AB
AB
If
you
have
to
wait
until
you
go
through
the
trc
process
before
contract
could
be
finalized
and
left
so
anyway,
we
can
hopefully
work
that
out,
I'm
gonna
vote
for
it,
but
hopefully
we
can
work
through
some
sort
of
meaningful
solution
with
that
between
the
second
and
third
reading
and
to
what
ms
hagan
said,
she
didn't
get
to
complete
her
thought,
but
I
certainly
followed
her
when
she
speaks
in
terms
of
having
affordable
communities.
AB
I
know
we
have
infill,
okay
and
right
now
it
seems
like
that
is
I
don't
know
the
only
strategy
is
infill,
but
suppose
I
know
we've
created
incentives
in
the
event
that
somebody
were
to
do
affordable
housing.
You
know,
setback
advantages,
both
side
yards
front
and
the
and
frontage
and
and
rear
yards,
but
I
don't
know
whether
we've
crystallized
it
to
the
point
to
where
somebody
were
to
do
an
affordable
community
or
an
affordable
subdivisions.
AB
AB
I
don't
know
whether
a
business
development
officer,
if
we
did
hire
one,
could
actually
pitch
that
if
you
will
to
a
developer,
in
other
words
out
of
if
they
had
a
tracking
line
that
you're
going
to
build
something
like
that
on,
you
may
get
20
more
lots.
If
you
will
buildable
lots,
if
you
did
an
affordable
subdivision
versus
the
way
we
do
it
now.
So
I
think
if
maybe
that
could
be
crystallized.
AB
I
had
a
conversation
with
the
president
and
the
college
of
charleston
on
last
week
and
believe
it
or
not
one
of
the
problems
with
with
some
students
is
you
got
some
students,
that's
homeless.
AB
S
Again,
that's
a
little
bit
more
fine-grained
than
the
plan
would
address,
but
the
plan
has
a
number
of
recommendations
to
help
encourage
affordable
housing
throughout
the
city.
I
mean
it's
one
of
the
areas
of
key
emphasis
in
the
document,
and
I
think
that
is
definitely
the
type
of
development
that
we've
been
talking
about
figuring
out
ways
to
amend
our
zoning
code
or
rewrite
our
zoning
code,
so
it
could
allow
such
things
all
right.
Good.
Thank
you,
mr
moore.
AC
AC
AC
So
you
know,
I
just
want
to
be
on
record
that
I'm
ready
to
give
this
first
reading
tonight,
but
there's
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we
still
need
to
do.
I
I
I
I've,
told
people
you
know
that
have
spoken
to
me
about
this.
I'm
I'm
a
little
double-minded,
because
the
plan
is
not
is
not
the
answer
for
how
we
know
that
things
need
to
be
changed
in
charleston
and
in
response
to
our
our
conditions
of
climate
and
growth,
and
all
of
that,
so
I
personally
don't
want
to
see
us.
AC
Try
to
make
this
a
perfect
plan
at
the
at
the
sacrifice
of
the
good
that
this
plan
is,
is
good.
I'd
much
rather
go
on
and
spend
our
time
as
council
paying
attention
to
the
next
steps
that
this
plan
leads
us
to,
which
are
zoning
and
all
of
the
things
that
come
along
with
that
improving
our
transportation
outlook
and
improving
the
way
that
we
think
about
affordability
and
all
of
that,
but
just
because
we're
not
going
to
talk
a
whole
lot
tonight.
At
least
I
don't
think
we
are.
I
do
feel
like
you
know.
P
P
They've
already
proven
that,
in
terms
of
economic
development,
that
is
something
I
think
all
of
our
citizens
are
yearning
for.
We
see
it
every
day.
New
businesses
going
to
other
municipalities,
and
I
would
love
to
see
charleston
find
a
way
to
get
new
businesses
to
west
ashley
to
john's
island
to
kane
hoy.
P
We
have
to
find
a
way
to
incorporate
that
in
the
plan.
I
agree
with
you
christopher.
This
comprehensive
plan
is
a
30,
000
foot
view
and
we're
not
going
to
be
picking
to
the
weeds
on
every
single
issue.
But
I
would
love
to
see
us
mention
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
find
new
business
to
bring
back
because
business
creates
jobs,
and
I
see
the
municipalities
around
us
every
day,
finding
ways
to
get
new
business,
and
I
would
love
to
see
us
incentivize
that
as
well
in
the
city
of
charleston.
Thank.
AD
You
thank
you,
sir
councilmember.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Just
very
briefly,
I
would
like
to
comment
on
and
really
respond
to
councilman
waring's
question
about
union
pier,
and
I
I
couldn't
agree
more.
Mr
morgan
and
mr
summerfield
were
kind
enough
yesterday
to
spend
an
hour
and
a
half
with
council
member
del
chapo,
and
I
and
by
the
way
it's
her
district,
where
union
fear
sits
to
talk
very
much
about
what's
going
on
over
there.
AD
For
those
who
don't
know,
union
pier
is
currently
zoned
industrial
in
its
zoning
and
its
height
district
is
warehouse
which
is
effectively
one
story.
We
all
know
in
the
next
decade
that
it
is
not
going
to
be
industrial
and
it's
not
going
to
be
warehouses,
and
I
do
believe-
and
I
would
think
that
our
planning
department-
this
is
a
chance
of
an
opportunity
of
a
lifetime-
is
to
help
in
the
visioning
of
it,
and
there
is
clearly
no
chance
that
this
property
is
going
to
transfer
to
the
private
sector
until
it's
entitled
and
zoned.
AD
So
it's
going
to
be
a
cooperative
effort
between
the
state
ports
authority.
Whoever
is
going
to
come
along
and
buy.
What
is
arguably,
the
most
important
and
probably
the
most
valuable
30
acres
on
the
east
coast,
the
united
states
today
undeveloped
unzoned
raw
property,
it's
an
incredible
opportunity
for
the
city
for
this
region
for
the
private
sector,
and
I
do
believe
that
the
city's
role
in
this,
because
we
own
it
is
the
zoning
side
of
it,
and
so
vision
should
in
fact
be
part
of
that
and
to
mr
summerfield
and
mr
morgan's
credit.
AD
They
didn't
give
themselves
credit
standing
up
here.
We
had
a
really
great
discussion
about
that
yesterday
and
I
think
we
all
know
going
forward
that
we're
going
to
be
working
with
the
port,
the
private
developers,
the
city,
the
citizens
and
everybody
else
to
have
a
vision
that
really
makes
union
peer,
which
is
currently
raw,
the
best
development
on
the
east
coast.
So
I
think
the
comprehensive
plan
should
mention
that
we
talked
about
that
yesterday.
AD
I
think
that
between
now
and
when
we
get
through
the
workshop
and
get
the
second
reading,
it
will
I'm
certainly
hoping
it
will
and
based
on
the
comments
I
had
we
had
yesterday
along
with
council
member
bill
choppa.
I
don't
think
there's
any
question
about
that.
So
I
just
think
it
needs
to
be
out
there.
We're
gonna
be
talking
a
lot
about
it
and
it
is,
I
think,
the
biggest
raw
undeveloped
piece
of
property
that
we've
got
out
there
on
the
peninsula.
AD
Probably
I
never
will
again
so
just
want
to
make
sure
we
kind
of
was
we're
all
on
the
same
page
about
that
thanks,
councilmember
gregory,.
AE
B
A
AE
Just
a
couple
of
things
on
creating
affordable
communities,
I
mean
we're
gonna.
We're
gonna
have
to
define
that,
because,
if
affordable
communities
become
concentrations
of
lower
income
people,
then
we're
defeating
our
purpose.
AE
AE
The
other
thing
is:
we've
been
talking
about
this
economic
development
department
for
some
time
now,
and
and
not
just
through
recommendations
for
this
plan,
that's
even
a
part
of
the
equity
and
inclusion
and
racial
conciliation,
economic
development,
subcommittee's
recommendation,
but
I'd
like
the
record
to
reflect.
AE
If
you
go
to
our
ordinance
and
you
go
under
community
planning
and
development,
you
will
see
that
there
is
an
economic
development
function.
Okay,
currently
under
that
department,
I
think
the
logic
for
it
is
housing.
Is
the
economic
engine
of
this
country,
so
placing
it
there
whenever
it
was
placed
there
might
have
been
done
as
a
result
of
someone
clearly
understanding
that
connection.
AE
So
at
some
point
I
think
what
we
need
to
do
is
go
back
to
our
ordinances.
Okay
and
more
specifically,
the
community
planning
and
development
ordinance
where
it's
clear
that
the
economic
development
function,
while
it
may
not
be
functional
okay,
is
housed
under
that
that
particular
office.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear,
because
throughout
many
of
our
discussions
we
talk
about
this
economic
development
department
and
and
and
the
mayor.
AE
Okay
headed
economic
development
for
a
while,
but
again,
if
you
want
to
go
to
the
statute,
okay
and
determine
where
that
function
is
in
the
city
of
charleston.
AE
That
function
is
under
our
housing
and
community
development
department,
and
I
just
wanted
directly
to
reflect
that
if
we
change
it,
fine,
but
I
think
when
we
start
talking
about
it,
we
need
to
find
out
where
that
function
really
is
statutorily
in
its
under
our
housing
community
development
department
and
as
for
tiny
houses,
we
had
a
number
of
tiny
houses.
It's
right
off
of
hugey
street.
AE
It's
now
a
parking
lot,
so
we
are
going
to
clearly
make
a
commitment
to
tiny
houses.
Okay,
then
we
need
to
keep
them
when
we
build
them,
because
that
was
the
only
community
that
I
re
know
in
the
city
where
we
did
have
a
number
of
tiny
houses
units
and
many
of
those
units
house,
the
homeless
population.
AE
It
housed
many
of
our
section
8
certificate
holders.
So
again,
let's
not
reinvent
the
wheel.
We've
done
it
before
through
the
housing
authority,
it
can
be
done,
but
when
we
build
them
we
shouldn't
tear
them
down
and
make
it
a
parking
lot.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
AF
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
just
because
I
see
fred
here,
unfortunately
with
the
weather
this
evening,
a
lot
of
folks
from
kane
hoy
tried
to
get
here
and
you
can
imagine
it's
a
trek
to
get
to
the
peninsula
from
kane
hoy
hard
to
believe
kane
hoy
and
we're
here
sitting
in
district
one.
That's
how
big
the
area
stretches
we're
unable
to
make
it
here
tonight.
So
jennifer
someone!
AF
Can
we
just
walk
through
for
those
folks
who
may
have
just
decided
to
log
in
via
zoom
kind
of
kind
of
procedurally,
what
happens
if
we
give
first
reading
tonight
and
then
second
reading
would
be
in
third
and
the
workshops,
because
I
do
want
folks
to
know
that
what's
being
presented
tonight,
I
I
don't
believe
from
conversations
that
I've
had
with
folks
and
and
hearing
things
tonight
that
this
will
be
the
be-all
end-all.
AF
C
AF
Right
so
I
I
just
want
folks
to
continue
to
stay
engaged
in
the
process,
whether
you're
sitting
here
tonight
or
you're
at
home,
or
you
may
watch
this
at
a
later
date-
that
there
are
other
opportunities
and
we'll
see
some
of
these
recommendations
that
have
been
made
throughout
implemented
in
to
the
plan.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
B
Q
Morgan,
I
notice
on
page
10
of
this
draft
that
a
couple
of
points
I
just
want
to
ask
you
about.
We
replace
a
century
five
plan
with
this.
With
this
plan,
this.
Q
Have
we
in
the
past
sort
of
done
a
internal
check
or
way
of
measuring
how
much
we
have
complied
with
or
satisfied
or
implemented
century
five
plan
between
2010
and
2020.
Q
And
the
next
question
right
on
that
same
particular,
point
that
we
make
reference
to
a
variety
of
plans
since
2010
and
like
the
climate
action
plan
that
was
just
adopted
in
2021,
the
housing
for
fair
charleston
in
2020.
The
dutch
dialogues,
which
we've
been
talking
about
sea
lot,
level
rise
strategy,
citywide
transportation
plan,
dupont,
wahpu
community
plan,
I'm
not
gonna,
read
all
of
them,
but
there
is
including
my
favorite,
of
course,
is
plan
west
ashley.
Q
So
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we
integrate
these
plans,
because
some
of
these
things
may
have
a
way
of
conflicting
within
the
comprehensive
plan?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
in
compliance
with
these
various
and
sundry
plans
that
we've
adopted
and
approved?
How
do
we
integrate
those
plans
with
this
plan?
So.
S
By
virtue
of
saying
that
we
are
adopting
those
plans
as
part
of
this
document,
they're
all
referenced,
of
course
in
the
appendix,
and
you
can
link
up
to
those
in
the
appendix
digitally,
but
the
most
important
thing
is
that
they
have
been
taken
into
account
in
the
writing
of
the
document.
So
there's
nothing
in
this
document
that
should
conflict
with
any
of
those
plans.
S
You
know
playing
west
ashley,
for
example.
You
know
we
scrutinized
everything
in
it.
It
should
be
in
more
of
a
30
000
foot,
comprehensive
plan.
You
know
playing
west
actually
was
more
like
a
five
or
ten
thousand
foot
up
plan,
so
much
more
smaller
scale,
and
this
is
a
much
broader
citywide
plan,
but
we
were
rated
the
things
that
we
thought
made
the
most
sense
from
plan
west
ashley
to
be
in
this
overall
document.
Q
And
I
think
that's
just
important
that
the
community
understand
that
that,
while
we,
we
have
these
integrated
plans
that
are
weaved
throughout
this
city
comprehensive
plan
that
these
other
plans
are
very
important
and
they're
very
integral
part
of
overall
strategy
that
the
city
has
adopted
through
these
individual
plans
from
year
to
year.
Several
of
them,
through
this
current
makeup
of
our
council
and
the
public
just
needs
to
be
aware
that
we
have
these
other
issues
and
these
other
plans
are
available
to
us
to
address.
Q
AD
Seeking
just
very
very
briefly,
mr
mayor
just
to
add
on
a
little
bit
to
what
council
member
del
chapo
was
talking
about
with
those
who
cainhoy
are
interested
in
this
plan.
If
they're
watching
tonight,
I
do
believe
we're
having
our
next
city
council
meeting
on
daniel
island
in
berkeley
county,
so
that'll
give
them
opportunity
and
public
comment
period
they're
not
just
limited
to
when
we
actually
have
a
hearing
on
this.
They
can
come
and
make
comment,
then
absolutely
so
we'll
be
up
in
their
neck
of
the
woods
in
about
three
weeks.
B
Four
weeks
so,
just
to
reiterate-
and
we
talked
about
the
schedule
today-
it
was
difficult
to
get
everybody's
between
us
and
the
planning
commission
together
in
early
august,
so
we
just
decided
we'd
drop
back
and
punt.
B
We
won't
even
take
up
the
comprehensive
plan
in
august
officially,
although
we
would
welcome
comments
at
our
next
meeting
from
the
public
about
it,
but
we
won't
have
that
workshop
until
early
september
and
jennifer
will
send
out
a
notice
to
you
all
to
set
up
a
time
and
then
in
at
our
regular
meetings
in
september,
we'll
proceed
with
second
and
third
reading
if
we're
ready.
AG
AG
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
talk
about
missing
middle
and
affordable
housing,
bringing
affordable
housing
units
on
the
market.
The
city
cannot
cure
the
affordable
housing
crisis
on
its
own.
Through
you
know,
structured
litec
deals
and
all
these
various
deals
that
we
do
they're
important
pieces
of
the
puzzle,
but
we
cannot
make
a
dent
in
this
problem
by
putting
100
units
on
the
market
a
year.
We
need
thousands
of
units.
AG
In
addition,
in
the
mark,
in
the
market
every
year,
should
the
city
of
charleston
eliminate
single-family
zone,
eliminate
it
like
the
city
of
minneapolis
has
done.
We
would
be
national
leaders
in
affordable
housing
if
we
were
to
do
something
like
that,
but
that's
going
to
take
us
that's
going
to
take
us,
putting
together
an
ordinance
putting
together
the
momentum
and
the
political
support
for
doing
something
like
that
to
get
it
over
the
line.
So,
while
the
plan
is
important-
and
I
don't
want
to
undermine
the
plan's
significance-
nothing
really
matters.
AG
AH
Mr
mayor
and
council
members
even
out
to
the
community,
as
they
say
this
is
a
plan
we
have
to
have
a
guide
to
work
from.
So
that's
all
we're
doing
with
this
plan
is
having
a
guide
that
we
can
work
from,
but
it's
always
going
to
be
changes
to
that
particular
plan.
AH
Even
when
they're
talking
about
affordable
housing,
we
were
talking
about
affordable
housing
for
years
and
years
and
I'm
sitting
here
and
sometimes
I
don't
see
the
affordable
housing
that
we
are
talking
about.
But
people
are
really
thinking
about
affordability,
and
I
said
normally
we
as
a
council
are
we
as
a
city
in
other
cities.
We
all
we
all
use
with
the
hot
area,
medium
incomes
and
that's
what
everybody
is
building
by
and
tell
how
to
change
that.
That's
what
everybody
is
still
using.
That's
what
it's
going
to
be.
AH
We
have
to
really
look
at
when
they
say
affordable.
We
have
to
really
try
to
educate
the
community
about
affordable
housing
that
affordable
housing,
sub
dollars,
housings
two
different
things
and
see:
that's
what
people
get
confused
about
when
they
see
affordable
housing
and
say
we
are
not
doing
affordable
housing.
AH
So,
even
if
this
plan,
we
need
to
really
really
write
more
into
the
plan
to
explain
some
of
these
things
to
individuals
that
don't
understand
I'll,
put
more
information
out,
so
people
can
understand
it,
because
a
lot
of
people
in
this
community
do
not
understand
what
affordable
housing
needs.
You
see
and
that's
why
we're
getting
a
lot
of
kickback
with
a
lot
of
dealing
with
affordable
housing,
but,
like
I
say
this
is
a
plan
and
it's
not
over
yet
you
still
have
opportunity.
AH
That's
calling
in
you
know
putting
information
in
asking
for
information
that
you
wanted,
so
that
we
can
maybe
make
some
changes
too,
because
we
are
not
perfect
here
either.
The
planning
commission
did
a
good
job.
The
staff
is
doing
a
great
job,
but
they're
not
perfect
either.
So
you
might
come
up
with
some
type
plan
that
they
might
include
into
this
plan
and
say:
oh,
we
never
thought
about
that.
So
these
are
the
things
that
we
are
doing.
So
we
admonish
the
community
to
come
out
and
step
up
to
the
plate.
AH
B
Thank
you,
sir.
Anyone
else
all
right.
So,
let's
take
first
reading
on
number
two,
our
city,
charleston
city
plan,
comprehensive
plan
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
next
up
is
our
584
meeting
street
rezoning.
F
S
All
right
so
e3
584
meeting
street
in
east
central,
it's
approximately
1.623
acres,
it's
a
request
to
rezone
from
general
business
to
mixed-use
workforce
housing
in
u2
wh.
There
is
the
property.
I
can't
really
use
a
laser
around
it,
but
it's
at
the
center
of
a
screen
at
front
zone
meeting
street
it's
across
from
the
grant
homes.
It
is
immediately
north
of
the
old
regis
milk
company
that
was
recently
also
zoned
to
mu.
S
S
There
we
go
to
be
in
our
urban
core
under
the
current
comprehensive
plan.
It
also
is
our
in
our
new
city
center
designation
in
the
new
plan
because
of
its
proximity
to
the
low
country
rapid
transit.
There
are
images
here,
probably
familiar
with
it.
There's
a
church
on
the
property
at
present
and
the
potential
developers
working
with
that
church
for
a
new
location
for
them
and.
S
The
property
to
the
south
and
that's
to
the
north,
another
new
large
apartment
building,
that's
also
been
built
on
the
meeting
street
corridor
and
across
the
street
planning
commission
did
recommend
approval
of
this
owning
with
a
6-0
vote.
C
AD
B
A
The
microphone
please
commercial,
activation
with
significant
floor-to-ceiling
heights
fronting
on
meeting
street,
the
building's
mass
which
will
soon
bring
the
ar
it's
going
to
be
multi-family
apartments,
mixed
used
with
commercial
activation
and
we
hope
to
bring
a
beautiful,
beautiful
structure
that
will
really
add
to
the
the
central
district
that
you
envision
in
the
master
plan.
Great.
AH
Mr
mayor
on
this,
a
lot
of
people
know,
but
this
was
eastside
baptist
church
at
one
time,
but
it's
still
standing
and
I
met
with
mr
jeff
roberts.
We
walked
the
particular
property
because
he
called
me
when
things
was
going
on
with
the
property
in
the
church
and
he
had
done
a
marvelous
job.
I
have
to
give
him
kudos
to
that.
He
had
done
a
marvelous
job
by
working
with
the
church.
That
was
moving,
you
know,
and
he
did
I
mean
he
did
some
things
that
a
lot
of
us
wouldn't
wouldn't
do
so.
AH
I
have
to
commend
him
on
that
and
I
met
with
him.
I
said
now.
Only
thing
we
have
to
do
is
just
get
to
the
neighborhood
association.
Let
them
know
what's
going
on
and
he
promised
me
he
would
do
that
so,
but
he
had
done
a
marvelous
job
working
with
those
people
in
that
church.
I
was
sorry
to
see
the
church
go.
AH
So
I
have
to
give
him
kudos
on
that,
and
I
just
want
to
say
that
publicly
that
you
have
different
developers
out
here
and
contractors
out
here
that
really
thinks
about
people
and
that's
one
person.
I
think
he
is
doing
it
and
thinking
about
not
himself
always
but
the
people.
That
was
what
he
was
going
through
and
he
helped
him
out
a
lot.
So
I
have
to
give
him
kudos
on
that.
Thank
you.
AH
B
You,
sir
and
council
member.
AG
AJ
K
B
S
Ordinances,
we're
helping
our
king
street
merchants
and
and
properties.
S
This
is
making
this
permanent
for
the
area
of
king
street,
from
calhoun
to
broad
and
I'll
show,
to
give
you
a
sense
of
where
those
parcels
are
it's
the
same
parcels
that
have
been
part
of
the
emergency
ordinances,
and
essentially
this
allows
for
new
uses
in
those
existing
structures
do
not
have
to
meet
parking
requirements
again.
It's
in
the
existing
structures
for
uses
going
in
those
ordinances
outlined
here.
I'm
gonna
just
kind
of
flip
through
this
real
quick
and
get
to
the
map
and
show
you
the
map.
S
That
is
all
the
parcels
the
front
on
king
street,
a
couple
of
exceptions
where
you've
got
like
a
government
building
county
county
courthouse,
but
otherwise
all
the
partials
running
on
king
street
from
calhoun
street
abroad
are
included
in
this
overlay.
That
would
change
the
parking
for
them.
B
AG
Absolutely
I'd
be
honored
to,
and
you
know
this
is
an
example
of
picking
up
the
ball
and
running
with
it.
This
is
something
that
had
been
on
the
city's
planning
horizon
for
years.
This
is
something
that's
burgeoning
in
the
land
use
and
planning
world.
For
you
know
trying
to
reinvigorate
some
of
these
historic
commercial
corridors.
AG
Parking
has
become
an
impediment
for
getting
vacancies
turned
over
and
we
saw
that
really
starkly
during
during
kovid
so
long
story
short
I've
been
in
close
communication
with
our
staff
and
happy
to
report
that
several
businesses
have
actually
availed
themselves
of
this
relief
this
year.
That
is
going
to
amount
to
you
know,
vacancies
turning
over
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because,
prior
to
now
you
had
a
you
know.
Vacant
storefront
and
you
didn't
have
some
sort
of
grandfathered
status
for
your
zoning
spots.
AG
AG
You
should
be
able
to
open
up
a
business
without
having
to
prove
that
you
can
make.
You
know
certain
parking
arrangements
on
your
own.
This
is
going
to
make
it
easier
for
small
businesses
to
compete
downtown.
You
know
yeti
across
the
street
from
my
office.
They
don't
have
a
problem
striking
a
you
know,
six-figure
check
for
parking
spaces,
but
maybe
a
small
business.
You
know
in
the
community
finds
that
too
difficult
to
do
so.
This
is
a
major
deregulatory
effort
by
the
city
of
charleston.
AG
It's
a
pro-business
measure
by
the
city
of
charleston
and
it's
a
way
to
drive
economic
vibrancy
and
diversity
in
our
commercial
corridor,
and
it
doesn't
just
relate
to
business
now.
If
you,
if
you're
a
property
owner
on
king
street
and
you've,
got
a
second
or
third
story
floor,
that's
been
vacant
or
has
been
used
for
storage
over
over
the
years.
You
can
turn
those
into
apartments.
AG
Maybe
they
can
be
affordable
or
get
more
units
on
the
market.
Maybe
that'll
drive
down
costs,
I'm
very
excited
to
see
what
this
measure
will
continue
to
do
over
the
years.
It's
already
had
some
great
success,
and
hopefully
we
can
expand
this
in
the
future.
We've
got
adequate
parking
infrastructure
all
over
the
city
and
very,
very
happy
to
see
how
much
progress
this
has
been.
This
is
made
and
great
collaboration
on
this
with
councilman
seekings
and
councilwoman
del
chapo
in
this
as
well.
AG
They
were
very
instrumental
in
making
this
happen
as
well,
so
kudos
to
all
and,
of
course,
our
staff
for
listening
to
me.
You
know
custer
them
about
this,
so
I'm
glad
we
we're
at
the
finish
line
here.
AG
It's
very
exciting
and
last
thing
I'll
say,
is
city
of
charleston
got
covered
by
wired
magazine
a
national
publication
in
an
article
about
the
most
progressive
dynamic
leading
cities
in
the
in
the
realm
of
transportation
and
urban
renewal,
and
it
was
really
good
to
see
that
happen,
and
I
hope
we
can
get
some
more
positive
national
attention
for
our
zoning
improvements
in
the
coming
years
to
piggyback
on
what
we
just
talked
about
with
our
comp
plan.
So
thank
you,
mayor
appreciate.
B
It
thank
you
any
further
questions
comments.
All
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
now
for
third
reading
and
ratification,
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
aye
aye
any
oppose
the
eyes.
Have
it
next
up
is
a
matter
regarding
property
line
adjustments.
S
What
we've
increasingly
found
in
charleston
is,
as
developers
have
built
streets
in
our
subdivisions
that
meet
our
city
codes
that
provide
for
good,
safe
access
for
cars,
they've
not
included
areas
for
on-street
parking,
either
along
the
street
or
adjacent
to
some
of
the
housing,
and
so
this
would
require
that
in
certain
instances,
based
on
the
number
of
lots
in
the
neighborhood
and
the
size
of
a
lot
in
the
neighborhood
relative
to
how
much
extra
parking
those
lots
can
allow,
it
could
be
in
hoa
areas.
It
could
be
in
on
street
areas.
S
B
Thank
you.
Would
anyone
like
to
be
heard
on
this
matter
scene,
none.
It
goes
to
council
second
of
a
motion
to
approve
in
a
second
age
session
council
member
jackson,.
AC
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
is
first
reading
right.
First
reading.
AC
I
feel
a
little
dumb
about
trying
to
follow
the
bouncing
balls
on
these
numbers
and
what
it
would
actually
look
like
on
some
sort
of
subdivision
layout,
so
I'll
be
in
touch
with
you,
mr
morgan,
so
you
can
help
me
figure
it
out.
Some
of
it
doesn't
really
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
me.
I
do
appreciate
the
purpose
living
in
a
neighborhood
that
people
don't
have
anywhere
to
park
and
it
causes
traffic
congestion
on
the
through
side
of
things.
So
I'm
willing
to
vote
yes
to
first
reading.
B
S
E6
is
420
arlington
drive,
it
would
be
an
annexation
of
a
single
family
lot.
It
was
r4
in
charleston
county,
it
would
come
in
the
city
as
sr1.
S
Adjacent
to
the
greenway
in
west
ashley,
over
harlington,
and
then
property
and
planning
commission
recommended
for
that
sr1.
Now
there
is
a
difference
with
e7.
This
is
a
parcel
that
is
off
river
road
and
the
applicant
was
interested
in
getting
a
little
bit
more
density
on
this
site,
not
because
they
wanted
more
units,
but
because
they
wanted
different
setbacks.
S
But
from
a
staff
standpoint
we
felt
like
sr1,
which
the
applicant
had
requested
was
not
the
right
category
here,
given
that
the
adjoining
development
was
much
lower
density
than
that.
That's
the
still
no
view
development,
that's
adjoining
it.
So
we
had
recommended
r4
comprehensive
plan.
Both
current
and
future
and
planning
commission
did
endorse
the
I'm
sorry
we'd
recommend
rr1.
B
B
AK
Christopher
for
e7,
so
she's
requesting
sr1,
but
winning
commission
staff
approved
rr1,
which
one
are
we
like
if
we
vote
on,
if
we
vote
yay
what's
getting
implemented.
S
AK
C
B
C
S
Sir,
and
so
it
could
be,
you
know
this
is
the
applicant
by
virtue
of
that
deferral
they
could
be
watching
and
if
they
don't
like
the
rr1,
they
may
withdraw
their
annexation.
That
has
happened
before,
but
we
from
a
staff
stamp
standpoint
felt
strongly
enough
that
it
was
important
to
have
the
lower
density.
So
that's
why
we
recommended
that
and
planning
commission
concurred
with
that.
B
All
right
any
further
questions
or
comments
hearing,
none
we're
voting
on
number,
seven
for
an
rr1
zoning
classification,
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
aye
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
so
that
ends
our
public
hearings
that
matters
and
next
we
have
approval
of
city
council
minutes,
vote
for
approval
june,
15th
and
june
30th.
We
have
a
motion
to
approve
any
changes
deletions
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
haven't.
Next
up
is
our
citizens
participation
period
and
we
only
allowed
30
minutes
for
this.
B
We've
got
27
people
signed
up,
so
I'm
going
to
respectfully
ask
you
all
to
stay
to
a
minute
of
comment
period
each.
I
would
like
to
request
some
no
outbursts
during
the
citizens
participation
period.
If
someone
would
like
to
ask
for
a
show
of
hands,
if
folks
agree
with
their
point
of
view,
that's
fine
and
we'll
be
glad
to
recognize
y'all's
joint
sentiments
that
way
and
respectfully
ask
no
personal
attacks
on
anyone
and
no
profanity.
AL
There
actually
will
be
five
of
us
reading
in
sequence,
to
tell
a
story
that
we
feel
is
vital
for
you
to
hear.
As
you
likely
know,
every
sunday
a
group
of
racists
bring
a
huge
confederate
flag
to
the
defenders
of
the
confederacy
statue.
AL
AL
I
group
gathers
each
week
to
counter
protest.
We
hope
that,
with
the
elimination
of
the
statue
as
the
focal
point,
the
group
raising
the
confederate
flags
will
be
less
emboldened.
We
have
read
the
proposed
ordinance
in
full
and
bring
a
concern
about
language
found
in
division.
Three
title
regulations
and
penalties.
AL
AM
Hi,
my
name
is
leslie
armstrong.
I
live
at
490
planners
trace,
drive
I'm
at
the
battery
every
sunday
and
on
july
11
we
had
a
situation
where
an
officer,
a
police
officer
by
the
name
of
whis
kind
of
got
in
our
faces
and
kept
telling
us
exactly
where
we
can
stand
and
where
we
couldn't
stand,
and
he
kept
threatening
some
of
my
fellow
white
anti-flaggers
that
he
was
going
to
arrest
us
arrest
them
for
failure
to
obey
a
lawful
order.
We
didn't
really
know
what
lawful
already
was
talking
about
so
a
little
bit
later.
AM
AM
So
one
of
my
fellow
anti-flaggers
stepped
off.
The
curb
marlena
happens
to
be
black.
She
happens
to
be
a
woman
in
her
60s.
She
stepped
off.
The
curb
was
walking
across
the
street
time
and
the
police
officers
did
to
her
what
they
did
not
do
to
my
white
colleagues.
They
went
after
her
and
I
will
let
aaron
take
you.
There.
AN
My
name
is
aaron
leach
I
live
in
west
ashley.
I
will
not
publicly
give
my
address
because
many
of
us
are
targeted
by
the
very
group
we're
talking
about.
I
was
there.
I
saw
this
whole
incident
after
the
young
woman
kept
taunting
us
and
after
marlena
crossed
the
street.
She
was
surrounded
and
handcuffed
by
police,
more
officers
swarmed,
and
it
appeared
as
if
backup
was
called
the
only
black
man
in
the
group
who
happens
to
be
70
years
old
was
questioning
why
his
friend
marlena
was
being
arrested.
AN
Police
tried
to
grab
him
and
tried
to
arrest
him
as
well
his
crime
unknown.
All
of
us
kept
asking
why
marlena
was
being
arrested
and
no
one
would
answer
us.
Finally,
we
were
told
she's
being
charged
with
disobeying
a
lawful
order,
no
lawful
order
that
we
could
have
heard
or
seen.
Of
course,
that's
the
same
threat
officer
whis
had
been
using
throughout
the
morning
I
felt
like
he
was
itching
to
charge
someone
with
that
offense.
He
finally
did
so
with
an
elder
black
woman.
AO
Nonetheless,
we
paid
the
fine
and
waited
she
was
finally
released
and
very
curious
as
to
what
she
had
done
wrong.
The
answer
is,
I
believe,
a
police
officer
decided
to
arrest
her
claiming
that
she
had
not
obeyed
him.
His
claim
that
she
disobeyed
him
had
that
power
and,
in
the
end
he
only
applied
it
to
her
reality
seems
to
be
that
if
you're
black,
you
can
be
arrested
and
treated
as
a
criminal
for
exercising
the
first
amendment
rights
that
we
are
all
supposed
to.
C
O
Great
fellow
city
council,
most
of
you
guys
already
know
me,
my
name
is
justin
hunt.
I'm
the
president
of
stand
is
one
one
of
the
many
peaceful
activists
of
the
city.
I
know
this
is
a
weird
situation
to
see
me
with
a
bunch
of
white.
Ladies,
but
I
call
them
family
and
we're
here
today
to
address
a
couple
things
over.
O
For
me,
I've
been
at
that
battery
for
over
a
year
peacefully.
I
have
no
violent
charges
and
I
lead
protests
over
here
over
200
people
we're
just
acting
for
the
same
constitutional
rights
that
were
promised
to
us
when
they
stated
that
all
men
were
created
equal
and
we're
constantly
having
a
fight
in
this
city,
and
we
need
our
elected
officials
to
at
least
be
the
voice
for
us
that
really
hurt
my
heart
to
see
her
incarcerated
for
something
that
was
non-violent.
I
O
AQ
AP
Going
to
speak
on
some
issues,
some
of
my
colleagues
spoke
on,
but
I
have
to
say
one
thing:
initially,
I'm
not
supposed
to
target
folks.
So
I'm
not
gonna
look
at
him,
but
this
goes
to
anybody
who's,
a
city
council
member
who
was
arrested
for
dui.
Recently,
you
should
be
ashamed
of
yourself.
You
shouldn't
get
a
chance.
You
should
be
ashamed
of
yourself,
and
this
is
why,
in.
AP
I
stand
for
my
community
and
when
things
happen
in
our
community
on
the
east
side,
I'm
there
you
can
ask
councilman
mitchell,
I'm
always
there
so
before
you
try
to
demonize
this
and
make
rules
to
alienate
our
first
amendment
right
know
who
you
make,
who
you're
targeting
you're
targeting
us
you're
targeting
black
folks
and
I'll,
say
this:
stop
shifting
the
blame
on
us
and
hold
yourself
accountable,
because
there's
so
many
issues
in
the
black
community,
don't
try
to
say
you're
building
commissioned
equity
because
it's
a
failure.
You
didn't
put
any
money
behind
it.
AP
AR
AR
Not
only
is
his
behavior
a
huge
liability
to
the
city
of
charleston,
but
his
inability
and
plain
refusal
to
control
his
temper
presents
a
serious
threat
to
the
safety
of
all
who
live
and
visit
here.
When
you
see
something
that
is
not
right,
not
just
not
fear,
you
have
a
moral
obligation
to
say
something
and
to
do
something.
AA
I
look
at
councilman
waring
and
I
appreciate
him
working
struggling
up
there
and
competition
with
councilman
seeking
and
that's
what
politicians
supposed
to
be
doing
is
for
the
rebellion
for
their
community
for
their
interest.
People
except
select
them,
put
the
money
behind
them
and
got
them
elected
to
work
for
their
particular
interest
and
that's
right,
and
we
should
tell
the
people
that
stop
telling
the
people
that
they
got
representative
of
their.
A
N
Now,
being
back
here,
there's
so
much
fodder
easy!
You
got
a
ordinance
you're
getting
ready
to
do
for
recreation
stuff
and
where
you
can
apply
for
permits
or
whatever
funny
part
is
you
have
to
produce
it
14
days
before
the
event
minimum
at
the
max
okay,
but
if
it
gets
turned
down,
guess
what
they
got.
30
days
to
hear
your
appeal,
go
figure
sounds
like
a
lawyer.
I
told
once
that
he
went
to
law
school
because
he
couldn't
do
math.
N
Next,
we
got
a
firearm
stuff.
A
lot
of
this
is
contrary
to
state
law.
N
I
N
G
Council,
members
and
mayor,
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
have
this
time.
My
name
is
rolando
baiumi.
I
live
in
west
ashley
and
I'm
actually
here
again
on
behalf
of
my
family
and
the
food
stand
ordinance
that
has
been
was
passed
on
on
june
30th.
I
listened
to
several
of
the
conversations
that
happened
this
evening
and
I
had
some
thoughts
prepared.
G
However,
I'm
just
going
to
bounce
off
of
some
of
the
things
that
were
said:
councilman
griffin,
you
had
said
that
the
pier
once
privatized
will
bring
employment
to
charleston.
Well,
the
ordinance
that
was
passed
for
the
for
the
food
stands
has
literally
devastated
employment.
G
We
talked
about
you
know
certain
small
businesses
that
you
know
need
parking
in
front
of
their
their
business,
where
a
small
business
and
the
ordinance
that
was
passed
literally
has
destroyed.
Our
business.
Closing
at
130
is
literally
taking
80
percent
of
our
pop
our
profit.
It
is
literally
making
us
wonder
what
our
future
holds.
G
We
didn't
establish
our
business
overnight.
It
took
seven
years
yet
the
ordinance
was
passed
in
a
matter
of
moments
and
the
rug
ripped
out
from
under
us
and
I'm
hoping
that
miss
jennifer
cook.
I
emailed
it
to
her
and
I'm
hoping
that
every
one
of
the
council
members
has
had
an
opportunity
to
read
it
and
to
understand
where
we,
as
employees
and
business
owners
are
coming
from.
D
So
we
came
here
today
to
talk
about
the
food
recording
that
was
based
on
theory
of
june
theory.
We
would
like
the
city
to
reverse
pre-visit
and
consider
the
closing
time
from
130
to
230.
D
We
do
75
to
80
of
our
business
during
this
hour.
This
ordinance
has
killed
our
business.
It
has
taken
food
of
our
table
and
we
are
struggling
to
buy
personal
bills,
not
to
mention
the
overheads
cost
to
run
our
business.
We
are
willing
to
work
with
the
city,
but
the
city
has
to
work
with
us.
Thank
you.
T
T
Okay,
therefore,
I'd
be
at
risk,
homeless,
homeless
or
coffee
homeless.
He
knows
about
it,
you
know
about
it
and
you
put
it
together.
That's
for
a
fact:
you're,
the
secretary
of
bcd
cog,
zip
code,
move
again
b
c
d,
zip
code
moved
again
force
could
have
been
used.
I
want
the
video
camera
of
what
happened
may
2020
and
at
the
public
service
commission
in
2019,
you
put
your
hand
on
a
black
woman
old
sister.
You
got
man,
you
the
last
percentage
right
here.
People
men,
be
real.
B
I
AS
Yeah,
my
name
is
mahmoud
by
the
way
I
live
in
worcester
ashley,
I'm
here
with
my
family
as
a
food
vendors
work
on
king
street.
After
the
ordinance
I
don't
see
anything
that
had
been
changed.
The
street
is
still
safe.
Before
that
we
were
still
working.
Everything
was
safe,
as
everybody
say
we
close
early
for
safety,
and
I
don't
see
anything
that
affects
that
we're
here
and
I
was
I
want
to
say
that
our
businesses
have
been
affected
so
much
that
we
cannot
keep
up
with
our
bills.
AS
We
can
keep
up
with
our
family
needs
and
all
we
asking
if
we
can
extend
that
for
one
hour
more.
That
can
help
us,
because
I'm
not
gonna,
say
it's
not
fair,
that
you
close
the
business
and
there's
another
business
to
logan.
Everybody
knows
that,
but
the
only
thing
we
need
we
need
just
like
one
more
hour
that
can
help
us
and
that's
it.
Thank
you.

Moved
to
charleston,
two
years
ago,
on
my
first
night,
I
met
mike
here
at
his
food
cart
on
king
street
and
he's
been
a
regular
face.
There.
I've
seen
him
just
about
every
weekend
since
I've
been
here
and
I'd
like
you
to
give
them
that
extra
hour
to
operate
their
business,
because
I
know
it
really
does
hurt
them,
and
I
like
to
support
my
local
businesses.
I
hope
that
you
reserve
your
decision
to
help
them.
AI
AT
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
My
name
is
trey
davis.
I
live
with
tristan
and
I
would
also
like
to
express
my
support
of
extending
the
food
cart
hours.
I've
seen
the
impact
that
has
had
on
mike
and
his
family
and
I've
also
seen
the
lack
of
impact
that
this
ruling
has
had
on
safety.
I
really
don't
see
that
there's
any
direct
correlation
between
food
cart
times
and
the
safety
of
king
street
late
at
night,
so
I
think
that
it
is
justified
that
their
family
asked
for
more
time.
Thank
you.
AU
I'm
actually
one
of
the
members
of
that
business
and
I
would
interpret
what's
my
friend
said
about
what
extended
the
time,
especially
when
we're
struggling
when
we're
about
to
shut
by
one
theory
by
the
crowd
around
us,
because
even
we
can't
shut
in
the
time.
Because
of
that
crowd,
and
also
I
noticed
after
we
shut
down,
the
crowd
is
still
there
and
it's
been
divided
in
different
spots
for
food,
which
is
make
it
more
a
crowd
and
we
actually
notice
as
well.
We've
been
leaving
while
the
police
is
still
in
the
street.
AU
H
Also,
my
name
is
andrew
tweedy,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
muhammad
and
his
family.
I
just
want
to
voice
my
support
for
an
extension
of
the
time
period
where
you
can
have
carts
out
on
king
street.
There's
no
other
options
at
two
o'clock
or
one
o'clock
in
the
morning
where
you
can
get
food,
such
as
a
patron
walking
down
the
street,
and
I
think
that
to
say
that
makes
it
unsafe
is
unfair
with
the
amount
of
police
presence
there
is
on
king
street
and
there
has
been
the
past
few
weeks.
AV
My
name
is
max
gentilen,
I'm
also
here
on
behalf
of
the
food
cart,
so
I
I
believe
that
the
card
should
be
opened
until
later
as
well.
B
Y
Yeah
I'm
jesse
casa.
I
live
in
creek
point
subdivision,
so
the
project
that
I
was
wanting
to
comment
about
is
the
roadside:
ditch
maintenance
and
rehabilitation
project
under
matthew,
fountain
and
his
storm
water
management,
there's
hundreds
of
acres
of
ditches
being
re-dug
throughout
james
island
and
throughout
that
project.
The
subdivision
of
creek
point
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
erosion
and
we're
seeing
that
erosion
on
the
shoulder
of
the
road.
Y
You
can
actually
see
the
supporting
soil
of
the
road,
that's
eroding
into
the
ditches
and
we're
also
seeing
that
in
private
residents,
the
culverts
around
the
driveway,
so
the
private
residence
driveways,
the
supporting
soil,
is
eroding
into
the
ditches
and
it's
causing
more
of
a
problem
than
it's.
It's
not
addressing
a
problem.
Y
So
I
would
like
to
say
that
that's
going
to
obviously
cost
taxpayer
money
to
fix
when
it's
compromising
the
integrity
of
the
public
road
and
it's
also
going
to
cost
the
private
citizen
money
out
of
their
bank
account.
It's
a
direct
hit
to
their
bank
account
to.
I
Y
AW
My
name
is
tony
daniel,
james
allen.
I
want
to
show
you
what
our
neighborhood
looks
like
and
how
is
a
force
to
believe
that
there's
no
cutting
through
the
road
with
the
dead
end
sign.
That's
the
open
road,
mr
appel,
with
trees
and
a
fence
in
the
middle
of
it.
All
cars
have
to
do
is
go
in
turn.
Here,
go
one
tenth
of
a
mile
and
they're
right
back
where
they
were.
AW
That's
it
then
they're
driving
me
where
they
want
to
go
everybody
in
the
neighborhood
drives
by
what
used
to
be
an
open
road
and
cuts
through
to
my
neighborhood,
my
section.
So
I've
got
everybody
here.
Jamming
me:
I've
got
the
school
jamming.
I've
lost,
quiet
enjoyment
of
my
house,
property
is
devalued,
the
one
excuse
they
used
to
close
the
roads,
and
if
this
is
not
a
closed
road,
it's
the
worstly
maintained
road.
I've
ever
seen,
and
it's
that's
against
the
law.
AX
AX
That's
ugly
ugly
comments
about
your
absence,
while
serving
your
country
and
stating
in
writing
that
you
have
no
say
in
your
childhood
home
to
a
council
member.
It
means
deceiving
my
father-in-law,
who
did
research
into
saving
medicine
at
musc
and
promising
my
disabled
veteran
husband.
He
was
helping,
as
he
claimed
he
did
with
blessed
sacrament,
while
encouraging
a
person
who
falsely
claimed
to
be
a
hoa
president
to
organize
a
letter
writing
campaign,
but
to
all
of
the
council
members.
I
C
B
Were
there
any
email
or
telephone
messages.
C
B
All
right,
so
that
ends
our
citizens
participation
period.
Thank
you
all
for
being
with
us
this
evening.
We
appreciate
hearing
from
you.
Next
up
is
our
petition,
petitions
and
communications.
We
have
back
to
you.
Appointments
on
various
boards
and
commissions
have
a
motion
to
approve
in
a
second
any
discussion
can.
B
Sure
we
have
a
request
to
separate
one
a
and
one
b.
So
does
that
mean
we
could
go
ahead
now
and
take
one
c
d
and
e
and
then
come
back
to
a
and
b
okay
with
it?
Okay,
any
discussion
regarding
I
little
letters,
c
d
and
e
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
aye
any
opposed
you
guys
haven't
next.
Can
I
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
appointments
for
the
design
review
board?
Hey.
B
We
have
two
nays
and
then
next
can
I
entertain
a
motion
for
number
one
b:
the
board
of
zoning
appeals,
zoning.
AC
B
Motion
in
a
second
any
discussion,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
right,
any
opposed
all
right.
We
have
two
nays
on
that
one.
Thank
you.
So
much
next
up
is
well
actually
based
upon
some
discussion.
This
evening,
we'd
like
to
defer
the
report
on
the
central
business
district
improvement
commission
and
come
back
to
you
with
that.
When
we
discuss
that
business
improvement
district.
Does
that
make
sense,
everybody
we'll
come
back
to
you
on
that
one.
So
next
up
would
be
a
report
on
resiliency
and
sustainability
committee.
B
AY
Quick
update
on
the
june
17th
resilience
and
sustainability
advisory
committee
report.
The
the
committee
met
on
june
17th.
All
members
were
present.
We
had
an
update
on
two
items.
The
first
item
was
the
peninsula
flood
risk
management
study
and
the
big
update
on
that
would
be
that
we
hope
to
bring
the
chairman
back
to
you
from
the
committee
that
you
chaired
on
august
17th,
to
give
you
a
couple
of
recommendations
from
that
committee
and
the
army
continues
to
work
on
refining
that
report
for
a
september
10th
next
release
of
that
report.
AY
The
second
update
was
on
the
heat
watch
initiative,
which
will
take
place,
hopefully
31
july,
which
will
go
through
every
section
of
the
city
and
it
will
document
the
heat
that
we're
currently
experiencing
and
we
will
use
that
data
noaa
is
funding
this
entire
project,
we're
partnering
with
musc
usc,
unc
college
of
charleston,
the
citadel
and
all
of
that
data
will
be
given
back
to
the
city.
AY
It'll
be
published
online
for
how
hot
our
city
is
getting
throughout
and
then
the
third
thing
was
a
presentation
that
we
had
by
dr
catherine
roscoe
from
del
toro's
university
in
the
netherlands
on
the
community
flood
resilience
support
system
where
charleston
has
been
chosen
as
the
pilot
city
for
a
project
funded
by
department
of
homeland
security
and
fema
for
this
system
we're
the
first
city
in
the
world
to
have
this,
and
all
of
this
is
being
paid
for
by
dhs.
AY
It's
designed
to
support
decision
making
by
looking
at
projections
like
your
economy,
the
population
events,
whether
it's
rain
sea
level
rise,
different
strategies
that
you
could
apply,
whether
it's
raising
homes,
building
sea
walls,
installing
additional
pumps.
The
main
goal
of
this
system
and
fema
wants
to
put
this
throughout
the
country
is
how
do
communities
best
spend
their
next
dollar
on
adapting
to
the
changing
environment
that
we're
seeing
so
more
on
that,
as
it
comes
out,
they're
just
getting
the
point
now
where
they
can
make
those
public
announcements-
and
that
was
our
committee.
B
Any
questions
from
mr
wilbur,
I
got
to
tell
you
that
presentation
from
the
lady
with
del
torres
that
he
was
just
describing
it's
really
cool
and
it's
like,
like
mark
just
said.
We
we're
the
first
on
the
planet
to
have
this.
This
focus
on
resiliency
and
decision
making
it's
going
to
really
be
cool.
AY
And-
and
I
do
want
to
just
say
the
reason
we're
chosen
from
from
just
about
everybody
in
the
united
states
is
because
what
of
a
great
job,
so
much
of
our
city
staff
does
in
keeping
us
ahead
of
many
other
municipalities
throughout
the
country
and
whether
it's
documenting
our
data
or
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
whether
it
be
stormwater
or
planning
or
floodplain
management.
AY
B
For
that,
thank
you
mark
appreciate
that
so
next,
another
brief
report
on
on,
unfortunately,
all
covert
19
is
still
with
us,
tracy
mckee
and
we
did
have
to
keep
one
ordinance
alive.
So
after
tracy
susan's
going
to
relay
that
to
you
tracy.
M
Good
evening
again,
everyone
I
do
have
a
couple
slides,
but
I'll
just
really
hit
the
high
point
so
that
they
don't
have
to
bring
them
up.
Over
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
we've
seen
a
400
percent
increase
in
covid
cases
the
prevalence
is
still
low,
but
the
growth
rate
is
is
very
high.
Musc
reports
that
they
are
seeing
an
increase
in
hospitalizations
again
the
numbers
are
low,
but
but
we
are
seeing
an
increase.
M
Most
of
those
cases
are
actually
from
folks
that
have
not
been
vaccinated
or
have
received
only
a
partial
vaccinated
vaccination,
so
they've
only
received
one
shot.
So
that's
the
majority
of
cases
and
of
course,
a
lot
of
this
is
stemming
from
variant
the
variants
most
of
the
cases
that
are
documented
or
tested
at
musc
are
all
variants
of
concern,
not
just
variants
of
interest,
but
variants
of
concern
that
are
much
more
transmissible
and
result
in
worse
outcomes
for
those
that
contract
the
disease.
So
I'm
happy
to
try
to
answer
any
questions.
AZ
The
ordinance
reads
to
have
their
meetings
virtual,
but
hopefully,
by
september
they
will
be
ready
to
go
with
a
hybrid
method,
which
would
mean
that
all
their
board
members
would
be
present
and
the
public
would
be
either
present
or
or
virtually
but
again
because
of
the
number
of
boards
and
commissions
that
they
deal
with
on
a
regular
basis,
taken
them
some
time
to
figure
out
safely
how
to
unwind
the
the
current
emergency
proceedings
and
to
move
safely
into
the
in-person
meetings.
AZ
AZ
The
only
thing
I
would
like
to
note
is
based
upon
our
last
meeting
or
actually
was
the
june
meeting
the
dealing
with
the
suspension
of
city
council
rules
for
meetings
in
city
council
will
expire
on
june.
Excuse
me
august
14th,
so,
unless
extended
before,
then
the
emergency
rules
dealing
with
city
council
meetings
will
have
expired
and
we'll
be
back
to
the
normal
in-person
rules
that
are
in
our
council
rules
at
this
point
in
time
so
happy
to
answer
any
other
questions
you
might
have.
AK
So,
to
provide
for
the
hybrid
format,
if
the,
for
instance,
the
city
council
committee
meetings,
go
back
to
in
person,
would
we
just
need
a
simple
something
on
the
agenda
for
next
time
to
change
council's
rules,
since
that
is
at
our
discretion?.
AZ
B
AZ
B
Right
any
councilmember
griffin.
C
Our
next
regular
meeting
is
august
17th
we're
looking
at
maybe
having
a
special
meeting
next
week
that
I
think
some
of
you
received
an
email
about.
But
if,
if
we
can't
have
that,
then
we'll
end
up
having
our
regular
meeting
on
august
17th.
P
We
need
to
take
care
of
that
tonight,
then,
because
it
would
expire
and
we're
having
an
awful
lot
of
special
meetings
during
these
holi
during
the
summer
months,
when
we're
only
supposed
to
have
one
meeting
a
month.
Maybe
we
ought
to
change
the
rules
of
council
and
go
back
to
two
meetings
a
month
that
that's
what
we
really
need
to
do,
but
I
don't
think
we
should
come
back
for
a
special
meeting
to
handle
this
one
item.
Let's
handle
it
tonight.
If
we
had
that
opportunity.
B
Well,
we
do
plan
on
having
a
short
special
meeting
before
august
meeting
because
there's
an
item
that
would
need
approval
before
our
next
scheduled
meeting
in
order
to
get
on
the
ballot
in
november,
and
then
also,
I
think
you
all
remember.
We
had
to
redo
our
procurement
on
the
smokestacks,
and
so
that
should
be
complete
and,
frankly
we'll
we
want
that
to
move
along
as
quickly
as
possible
as
soon
as
capital
projects
is
ready
on
that.
So
we
we
did
have
some
a
couple
of
legitimate
things.
It
won't
take
long.
B
It
won't
be
a
long
meeting
prior
to
the
next
regular
meeting
in
august,
but
I
mean
there's,
there's
really
no
problem
to
let
these
special
meeting
requirement
of
council
to
expire.
I
mean
we're
meeting
in
person
now
and
it
it
would
just
allow
us
to
meet
telephonically
correct
or
I
zoom,
and
as
long
as
we're
agreeable
that
we're
going
to
meet
in
person
from
now
here
on
out
this
is,
after
august,
the
14th.
B
I
don't
see
that
we
really
need
to
renew
that
personally,
but
if
y'all
want
to,
we
can
council,
member
griffin
and
then
councilman
jackson.
P
I
think
what
susan's
bringing
up
is
that
we're
meeting
via
zoom
for
all
our
committees,
and
I
don't
think
our
rules
state
that
we
can
do
that
unless
we're
under
the
emergency
ordinance.
So
when
that
expires,
we're
going
to
have
to
meet
as
a
committee
in
person
unless
we
change
those
rules
which,
if
we
wait,
it's
not
going.
AZ
B
AC
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
was
going
to
ask
sort
of
the
same
questions.
Councilmember
griffin,
I
I
don't
know
what
I
prefer
I
do
feel
like
maybe
virtual
committee
meetings
is
easier
for
the
staff,
but
I
would
certainly
like
to
hear
from
the
clerk's
office
before
we
make
that
decision.
AC
So
I
I
I
do
think
that
maybe
it
would
behoove
us
to
extend
what
we
currently
are
allowed
to
do
under
the
emergency
ordinance
for
another
month.
Until
we
figure
out
the
best
approach
to
our
meeting
format.
AC
AD
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Just
briefly,
it
seems
to
me-
and
I
think
I
took
council
member
brady's
comments
to
mean
that
we
should
debate
this
whole
point
of
the
committee
side,
which
we
used
to
by
the
way
for
a
little
history's
sake
we
could
and
we
did
meet
by
a
telephone.
We
didn't
have
zoom
back
in
those
days.
AD
In
certain
circumstances,
we
had
very
short
committee
meetings,
which
we
do
all
the
time
and
we
have
committee
members
who
are
far
away
and
for
10
minutes,
so
I
think
we
should
put
it
all
on
the
table
going
forward
and
keep
everything
that
we
have
in
place
until
we've
actually
debated
that
including
the
option
for
city
council.
If
it's
one
or
two
more
meetings,
it's
not
a
huge
deal.
AD
It's
worked.
Well,
I
don't
know
that
it
puts
ms
cook
under
a
huge
amount
of
strain
because
we're
still
going
to
have
people
participating
virtually
anyway.
So
I
would
suggest
humbly
that
we
just
extend
all
of
it,
mr
dina,
until
we
can
take
it
up
for
debate
and
and
then
make
permanent
rules
about
it
and
I
think
look
going
forward
in
the
future.
AD
There's
there
are
some
advantages,
mr
merida,
to
having
the
ability
to
participate
remotely,
given
the
workload
that
I
mean
the
workload
for
us
on
this
council
in
terms
of
hours
that
we
spend
has
gone
up
geometrically,
and
I
don't
see
that
changing
and
having
some
options
in
the
future
for
shorter
meetings
and
all
those
things.
I
think
I
I
would
like
to
have
us
debate
that
in
public
hear
what
the
public
has
to
say.
I
know
there's
been
a
large
voice,
people
who
think
we
should
meet
in
person
all
the
time.
AD
AD
X
A
AZ
AD
AD
AC
AZ
And
that's
correct
and
this
would
be
suspending
ordinance
well,
it's
o4o
is
the
emergency
ordinance,
which
was
about
to
lapse
all.
B
AZ
AC
AZ
And
then
I
would
just
add
for
the
record
mayor
that
you
know
we
are
still
working
in
a
covet
situation.
We
are
trying
to
work
through
how
to
safely
unravel
these
emergency
ordinances
and
put
safe
ones
in
place,
and
just
want
to
add
that
for
the
record
as
a
basis
for
doing
this,.
B
Absolutely
any
further
discussion
on
the
motion
hearing,
none
all
in
favor
say
any
opposed
units
haven't
and
did
we
also
need
to
take
action
on
emergency
ordinance
2020-049?
Second,
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second
any
discussion.
All
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
you
guys
haven't.
I
think
that's
it
any
further
discussion
on
this
matter
until
our
next
meeting.
B
But
this
would
be
our
last
regular
meeting
with
susan
hardina
as
our
corporation
council
and
thank
you,
wilbur
johnson,
for
being
with
us
tonight
being
present
as
well,
even
though
your
duty
hasn't
officially
started
yet.
B
But
I
for
one-
and
I
know
I
speak
for
this
council-
thank
you,
susan
from
the
bottom
of
our
hearts,
for
your
service,
for
your
incredible
intellect
of
keeping
us
straight
and
your
total
commitment
to
the
city
of
charleston
and
we're
so
pleased
that
you're
going
to
continue
that
service
in
another
role
in
just
30
something
days
to
come.
We
so
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
you
in
that
new
role.
B
Okay,
next
are
our
council
committee
reports
and
our
first
one
up
is
committee
on
recreation,
councilmember,
gregory,.
AE
Mayor
and
council,
the
committee
on
recreation
met
on
tuesday
june
13th
at
four
o'clock.
We
had
two
items
on
our
agenda.
The
first
was
the
naming
of
the
new
track
at
stoney
field
in
honor
of
olympian
raven
saunders,
and
we
voted
unanimously
to
do
that
item.
1B
approval
of
parks
and
recreation
master
plan.
AE
B
AJ
Thank
you,
mayor
members
of
council,
I'm
honored
to
be
here
today
to
to
discuss
this.
We
will
have
a
presentation
in
front
of
you.
I
know
time
is
short.
I
want
to
watch
chris
medicine
also,
but
but
this
is
important,
it
really
is
important
and
all
services
don't
touch
everyone
parks
and
recreation
does
in
some
way,
and
we
we,
we
were
awarded
this
contract
and
then
coveted
hit,
and
we
got
a
little
worried.
AJ
But
I
will
say
this:
it
was
a
better
product
because
of
covet
because
these
plans
no
disrespect
to
everybody,
I'm
looking
at
they're,
not
just
yours,
they're,
everybody's
they're,
these
this
entire
community
and
it
enabled
us
to
get
out
into
the
communities
and
meet
people
and
talk
to
people
and
go
to
parks,
and
to
do
that.
So
I
certainly
want
to
thank
you
for
having
the
foresight
to
do
this.
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
gregory
and
the
rec
committee
for
their
leadership
on
this.
AJ
Certainly
the
mayor
and
all
of
council,
but
I
also
before
we
get
started,
want
to
want
to
make
a
comment
about
laurie,
yarborough
and
jason
kronsberg.
Two
leaders
of
this
community
that
were
with
us
every
single
step
of
the
way
which
which
helped
this
product
you've
all
have
a
250
page
downloadable
document
that
I'm
not
sure
you'll
read
every
single
word
of
it.
But
I
hope
you
go
back
for
reference.
So
what
we'd
like
to
do
now
introduce
pat
hoagland.
BA
AJ
BA
BA
Good,
so
there
we
are,
do
you
see
in
the
slide
now.
BA
BA
B
BA
Sir
complete
okay,
thank
you.
This
slide.
The
areas
in
blue
are
those
areas
that
have
the
the
most
parkland
recreation
services
in
those
areas
in
red
are
the
least,
so
you
start
seeing
that
you
know
the
upper
portion
of
the
peninsula.
The
outer
west
ashley
john's
island
and
in
some
areas
in
james
island
have
the
least
amount
of
services,
so
that
was
one
way
we
looked
at
it
by
mapping
access
the
walk-in
drive
times
to
your
parks
and
to
your
facilities.
BA
Those
areas
in
blue
are
the
are
least
impacted.
So
you
see
again
part
large
portions
of
the
peninsula
portions
of
west
ashley
are
some
of
those
areas
that
had
the
highest
social
needs
and
conditions
problems.
BA
We
took
those
two
combined
them
together
to
get
this
priority
service
areas
map,
and
you
see
the
areas
in
the
dark
red
colors.
Here.
Upper
portion
of
the
peninsula
outer
west
ashley
in
some
areas
in
james
island
a
little
bit
in
the
inner
west
ashley
that
that
are
areas
would
be
good
to
target
for
increased
services
and
in
parks
and
recreation
and
other
services
as
well.
So
that's
one
way
we
looked
at
equity
throughout
the
community.
Another
thing
we
did
was
quite
a
bit
of
public
engagement.
AJ
I
do
and,
as
you
can
see
from
that
picture,
as
you
all
know,
the
services
of
the
parks
and
recreation
department
go
beyond
just
the
actual
implementation
of
programs
and
during
covid,
one
of
the
one
of
the
very
meaningful
things
that
went
on
as
you'll
see
the
lady
in
the
green
shirt.
AJ
There
we
wore
those
out
in
the
public
and
it
says,
let's
talk
parks
on
it,
but
this
was
an
event
at
the
right
by
the
mlk
pool
where
actually
food
was
given
to
the
people
that
lived
in
that
area,
and
it
was
a.
It
was
an
amazing
opportunity
for
us
to
see
everyone
in
that
area
and
speak
to
everyone
in
that
area,
and
we
did
that
around
the
entire
city
just
because
covet
hit
just
because
the
program
stopped.
It
didn't
stop
people
coming
to
the
parks.
AJ
BA
BA
So
we
could
listen
to
the
people's
comments
that
related
to
parks,
recreation
and
especially
trails,
as
we
heard
a
lot
of
through
the
city
plan
sessions
and
there's
a
lot
of
coordination
between
those
two
efforts
as
well
and
in
those
you
know,
these
boxes
just
show
a
few
of
the
common
things.
You
know:
upgrading
your
existing
parks,
restrooms
in
the
parks,
more
dog
parks,
preserving
open
space.
You
know
a
lot
of
those
are
some
of
the
key
things
we
heard
the
most
and
without
getting
into
a
lot
of
the
charts
and
graphs.
BA
AJ
Yes,
I
do
the
interesting
thing
about
this.
The
city's
parks
department
and
the
city
in
general
is
just
the
growth,
and
so
you
have
you
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
growth
in
the
area,
but
what
you
have
in
the
in
the
city
right
now
is
management
in
the
peninsula,
all
the
way
from
the
end
of
kane
hawaii
peninsula,
all
the
way
down
to
john's
island.
It's
hard
to
do
that.
This
is
a
10-year
master
plan.
AJ
So
we're
not
saying
that
you
should
implement
this
tomorrow,
but
we
are
saying
that
there
needs
to
be
a
different
management
structure
in
the
city
and
what
we
recommended
were
five
areas
of
the
of
the
city:
the
charleston
peninsula,
james
island,
johns
island,
west
ashley
and
the
kane
hoy
peninsula,
where
pat,
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
where
it
needs
to
be
highlighted.
How?
Well
you
do
with
your
core
services,
things
like
teaching
people
to
swim,
serving
the
underserved
indoor,
recreation,
space,
outdoor
field,
space
trails,
outdoor
gathering
spaces.
You
do
that
really!
AJ
AJ
AJ
AJ
You
have
tremendous
facilities,
you
have
tremendous
opportunities
for
people
to
do
many.
Many
many
things
beyond
your
core
services
and
for
this
people
should
pay
a
fee,
and
you
have
an
opportunity
from
an
entrepreneurial
standpoint
to
institute
programs
and
services
that
will
be
great,
be
for
everyone,
but
also
generate
revenues.
Generate
sponsorships
generate
those
things
in
our
report.
AJ
We
did
a
very
very
brief
that
you
will
see
easy
way
to
raise
immediately
200
000
in
a
year
and
I
think
that's
extremely
conservative,
but
that
would
certainly
pay
for
a
person
and
that
would
certainly
get
that
person
on
track
towards
being
proactive
in
issuing
permits.
AJ
So
we
had
a
public
comment
tonight
about
the
procedure
for
issuing
permits,
and
rather
than
do
that,
we
hope
this
enterprise
manager
can
go
out,
find
these
activities
that'll
go
around
throughout
all
the
entire
city,
bring
people
in
and
actually
start
assisting
the
city
with
revenue
generation.
AJ
For
that
next
slide,
pat
okay
finances
everything
is
pat.
If
you
can
go
back,
one.
AJ
Sorry,
you
know
it's
all
about
finances
and
what
councilmember
gregory
stated
is
that
this
recommendation
that
came
to
full
council
did
not
include
any
dollar
sign
with
it.
When
you
looked
at
your
draft,
hopefully
you
saw
a
number
that
might
have
knocked
you
off
the
back
of
your
chair,
but
we
did
not
want
to
hide
what
the
costs
were.
So
that's
what
it
is
you
could
like
it.
You
could
not
like
it
or
whatever,
but
we
didn't
want
to
say.
Well,
maybe
they
could
only
afford
this
so
there's
so.
AJ
We've
dropped
the
whole
number
on
your
table
completely.
Well
aware
that
you're
gonna
have
to
strategize
in
how
big
of
an
apple
you
take
a
bite
out
of.
So
the
financial
part
is
a
big
part
of
this.
What
we
found
out
that
was
amazing
to
me
and
and
even
to
pat,
because
pat's
done
these
all
around
the
country
for
35
years
charleston
south
carolina
had
the
highest
percentage
of
citizens.
That
said
I'll
pay
for
it,
so
they
want
it
so
bad.
They
said
I'll
pay
for
it.
One
of
our
recommendations
was
ask
them.
AJ
AJ
They
are
participating
in
the
funding
of
this,
so
we
gave
that
as
a
recommendation,
but
what
we
did
not
do
is
say:
go
for
this
much
go
for
that
much.
You
have
very
capable
people
in
your
finance
department,
laurie
jason
and
certainly
all
of
you
in
in
a
discussion.
That'll
that'll
happen.
So
that's
it.
The
other
thing
there
are
philanthropic
opportunities
out
there
that
are
right
here.
You've
got
the
charleston
parks.
Conservancy
you've
got
the
friends
of
the
life.
In
fact,
I
think
I
saw
charles.
AJ
I
don't
know
if
he's
still
here,
but
you
have
these
people
out
there
that
will
work
with
you.
That
will
help
in
the
fundraising
part
of
this
to
help
you
achieve
your
goals,
so
the
philanthropic
community
will
be
a
a
big
part
of
that.
Pat.
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
yep
you
know,
maintenance
is,
is
real
and
it's
funny
one
of
the
bullets
on
here
the
demand
for
restrooms
and
it
seems
really
basic
guess
what
it's
not
restrooms
are
important
a
lot
of
places.
AJ
They
start
with
restrooms
and
everything
else
comes
after,
but
I
will
tell
you
the
number
one
thing
that
your
citizens
told
us
was:
can
we
get
restrooms
and
another
part
of
this
while
we
put
it
into
maintenance
and
I'm
not
I'm
not
blaming
anybody
for
this,
but
you
have
some
great
restrooms
and
some
great
parks
and
they're
locked.
Sometimes
that's
not
a
function
of
of
anything
more
than
just
needing
the
people
that
will
be
able
to
clean
them,
maintain
them
and
do
that.
So
we
have
costs
applied
to
that.
AJ
But
I
will
tell
your
citizens
are
interested
in
restrooms.
So
the
other
part
of
this
that
we
try
to
be
realistic
about.
There
are
positions
in
both
the
maintenance
department
or
the
parks
department
and
the
recreation
department
that
have
not
been
filled.
We're
recommending
that
these
are
filled.
I
think
we
probably
could
recommend
more
and
I'm
not
sure,
jason
and
laura
will
agree
with
this.
But
I'll
bet
you
if
they
got
back
what
they
lost
they'd
be
happy
with
that.
AJ
I
think
they
think
they
they
need
more
and
they
probably
do
to
do
more,
but
at
least
bringing
back
the
others
will
help
pat
next
one,
please
I
talked
about
the
partnerships.
You've
got
the
parts
conservancy
charleston
county
prc
a
place,
I'm
very
familiar
with
they.
They
they
do
good
things,
but
there's
no
reason
to
duplicate
these
services
and
and
you've
got
a
tremendous
person
over
there
and
david
bennett
that
that
loves
this
city
and
will
work
well
with
them.
AJ
AJ
But
what
we
found
meeting
with
the
school
district
meeting
with
matt
sloan
one
of
the
developers
in
that
area,
they
want
to
work
with
you.
They
want
to
partner
with
land
deals
right
now
what
their
school
district
did,
which
I
thought
was
great.
They
bought
way
more
land
than
they
needed.
That
usually
doesn't
happen,
so
it's
sitting
there
they
want
to
meet
with
you.
They
want
to
decide
how
the
city
can
use
this.
The
other
thing
that's
going
on
right
now.
AJ
I
guess
I'm
allowed
to
say
this,
but
berkeley
county
government
is
right
now
in
the
process
of
meeting
with
the
trust
for
public
land
to
discuss
a
half
cent
sales
tax
program.
That's
almost
identical
to
the
city
of
charleston's,
half
cent
sales
tax
program,
you're
buying
land
in
charleston
county
with
absent
sales
tax
money,
but
you
can't
buy
it
on
cane
hoy
road
because
it's
berkeley
county.
AJ
So
we
certainly
recommended
that
the
city
is
in
contact
with
johnny
crib
and
the
people
in
berkeley
county
to
make
sure
that
you
are
at
that
table
and
helping
them
any
way.
They
can
to
make
sure
that
you
get
your
fair
share
as
it
relates
to
money
for
land
on
cane
hoy,
road.
AJ
AJ
A
great
place
where,
if
like,
for
example,
wesley
ashley
in
the
one
town
house
project
that
came
down
what
was
left
was
a
park
that
can
be
done
everywhere
and
I
think
it's
going
to
happen
more.
So
we
want
you
to
do
that
if
the
corps
of
engineers
project
that
that
goes
around
the
entire
city,
is
there
what
a
tremendous
opportunity
for
a
walkway
so
we're
gonna
we're
gonna.
We
highly
recommended
that
you
integrate
these.
AJ
These
park
features
in
anything
that
deals
with
flooding
because
it
can
be
there.
That's
that's
250
pages
in
10
minutes.
We.
We
are
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
today
tomorrow,
the
next
day,
but
I
will
say
this:
you've
got
a
great
department.
You've
got
a
great
city
and
the
difference.
Sorry
for
being
so
direct
between
the
great
and
where
you
are
today
is
money.
AJ
It's
it.
It's
bringing
back
these
facilities
that
have
been
neglected
because
there
have
been
facilities
neglected
and
if
you
can
get
those
back,
I
think
you,
your
citizens,
are
real
real,
real
happy.
So
any
questions
I'll
be
happy
to
answer.
Yes,.
AB
Warren
great
to
see
you,
mr
rock,
thanks
for
doing
what
you
did
do
you
have
a
priority.
AB
The
list
that
you
all
went
through,
that
you
don't
have
some
sort
of
prioritize
man
I
saw
on
the
map.
You
know
some
areas
were
lacking
use
a
better
term
yeah,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
have
to
answer
that
today.
If
that's
the
information
get
back
to
I'd
like.
AJ
AJ
AJ
AD
You,
mr
marin,
council
member,
thank
you
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
I
mean
it's
great
to
hear
from
an
expert
on
many
things.
You
know
what
it's
like
to
sit
here
all
night
long,
but
this
is
super
interesting.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
learned
and
we've
heard
from
dwayne
parish
about
this
at
the
state
level,
is
that
during
the
last
two
years,
parks
have
been
in
huge
demand
right.
AD
A
huge
demand,
there's
been
places
where
they're
turning
people
away
at
11
12
o'clock
in
the
morning
throughout
the
state,
and
I
think
that
the
city
of
charleston
is
going
to
see
that
and
more
going
forward.
AD
AJ
Yeah
the
way
to
monetize
it
is
whoever
uses
the
service
pays
for
the
service.
Now,
what
I
that's
to
a
point.
I
go
back
to
the
people
that
live
here
that
have
lived
here
forever
serving
them
and
another
thing
you
should
be
thankful
for
the
amount
of
subsidy
you
give
to
your
parks.
Department
is
as
high
as
anywhere
else
in
this
country,
but,
as
you
mentioned,
the
the
visitors
you've
got
to
charge
them
right.
AJ
That's
why
we
talked
about
this
enterprise
person
and
once
this
person
comes
in
and
and
actually
I
don't
mean
this
to
be
too
negative,
but
I
don't
think
you
have
that
person
right
now.
This
is
an
entrepreneurial
business-minded
person,
not
to
think
there's
some
great
people
in
your
department,
not
that
they
can't
be
turned
into
that.
But
once
that
happens,
that's
when
you
bring
in
the
you
know
the
helen
hills,
kathleen
cartland
and
you
figure
out
all
these
people
coming
in.
How
do
we
capture
that?
AJ
How
do
how
does
the
city
create
the
new
event,
as
opposed
to
somebody
else,
asking
to
use
your
facilities?
That's
where
the
money
comes
in
so
you're
right?
You
have
to
do
it,
but
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
combination
of
just
getting
this
person
in
getting
the
mindset
there
and
bringing
it
into
your
department.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
Q
Q
I
mean
excuse
me
and
there's
very
detail,
and
I
appreciate
the
amount
of
work
that
you
and
your
company
have
gone
through
with
this
in
our
staff,
the
the
plan
west
actually
talks
about
recreation
significantly
and
while
that
may
just
be
regionalized
to
wes
ashley
what
role
the
job
have
in
looking
at
plan
west
actually
in
in
complying
this.
This
plan.
AJ
Yeah
well,
as
you
know,
west
ashley
is
is,
is
a
pretty
vast
area
as
it
relates.
Luckily,
you
have
some
land
already
over
there.
You've
got
bear
swamp
road,
some
places
like
that,
and
but
that's
where
the
growth
is
going
and
the
people
that
have
given
us
the
input
are,
are
it's
much
different
than
a
lot
of
the
other
places?
You
know,
you've
got
the
pickleball
people.
AJ
You've
got
all
the
different
types
of
of
activities
there,
but
really
west
jassy
is
just
is
just
one
of
those
really
really
fast-growing
places,
but
the
needs
aren't
the
needs,
aren't
more
they're.
Just
that's
why
I
think
having
an
individual
person
in
each
zone
will
be
good,
so
you
can
find
out
what
those
needs
are
and
meet
those
needs,
but
westash's
it's
it's
the
same
as
all
the
other
places
and
but
to.
Q
Q
Then
the
land
that
you
had
just
mentioned,
but
also-
and
I
noticed
this
in
in
your
report-
rehabbing
a
lot
of
the
existing
facilities
that
we
have
and
some
of
the
improvements
on
that
we're
planning
to
have
this
plan
presented
to
our
revitalization
commission.
Q
I
think
our
next
meeting,
mr
mayor,
that
we
talked
about
that
so
to
give
it
a
emphasis
on
what
it
looks
like
for
just
the
west
ashley
region,
almost
half
our
population
lives
in
west
ashley,
so
there's
there's
a
sort
of
a
different
need
of
sorts,
because
you're
dealing
with
a
greater
concentration
of
the
city's
population
there,
and
I
think
that
your
points
that
you've
been
making
out
about
fees
is
really
important
because
you
use
it,
you
pay
for
it
kind
of
idea,
but
we
also
have
to
be
very
careful
that
we
don't
do
something
to
make
it
restrictive
out
as
well.
Q
We
we
spend
a
ton
of
money
and
time
on
rehabbing
the
the
muni
and
if
anybody
has
paid
any
attention
to
trying
to
book
a
tee
time
out
there,
it's
almost
impossible,
and
so
here
here's
an
old
saying.
If
you
build
what
they
will
come,
we
built
it
and
they
came
and
it's
I
have
not
seen
a
slow
down
on
the
use
of
that
facility
and
I
think
that
will
carry
out
with
other
facilities
as
we
go
forward
with
implementing
these
plans.
And
these
suggestions
that
you
had
in
here.
AJ
AJ
If
we
were
to
do
what
you
mentioned.
Let's
look
at
that
this
area
with
the
growth.
Let's
talk
about
that
council
member
sheila
and
I
have
talked
about.
Maybe
we
have
the
ten
field
soccer
complex.
Maybe
we
have
all
these
other
things?
Yes,
but
your
need
for
fixing
up
what
you
have
here
is
so
great
that
we
didn't
push
the
nice
new,
shiny
things
that
that's
for
10
years
later,
I
think
we've
got
to
take
care
of
the
people
that
are
here.
AJ
AJ
AI
AT
P
P
AJ
AJ
He
can't
do
that
much
if,
if
you
put
it
on
him,
so
there
has
to
be
some
reasonable
amount.
That
can
be
that
that
can
be
taken
care
of
the
other
thing
that
that
I
have
seen
with
referendums.
The
public
is
smart,
they're,
smarter
than
we
give
them
credit
for
sometimes
it
they
don't
vote.
No,
because
they
don't
like
an
amount.
They
vote.
No,
because
they
don't
think
you've
done
your
homework.
They
vote
no,
because
they
think
things
are
wrong.
We
have
everything
lined
up
to
answer
any
question
that
they
want.
AJ
I
think
you
know
well.
Garland
texas
is
about
this
size.
We
just
finished
one.
It's
very
similar
t
actually
did
a
117
million
dollar
bond
and
it
passed
like
70
we're,
not
garland,
texas
people.
I
promise
you
that
we
don't
have.
We
don't
have
the
same
voter
base,
but
but
you
asked
and
I'm
going
to
give
you
an
answer.
I
think
if
you
took
a
number
somewhere
near
half
or
maybe
even
a
little
less
than
half
what
it
does
is
get
you
started.
You
know
what
I
mean
it
gives
you
a
start.
AJ
The
public
will
see
this
and
feel
it
and
it's
10
years
then
10
years
from
now
and
and
and
I
apologize
for
understanding,
government
finance,
I'm
the
finance
chairman,
but
okay.
So
if
you
don't
sunset
this
thing,
which
I
wouldn't
recommend,
you
almost
have
another
another
one
in
10
years,
so
you
get
this,
you
pay
it
off.
You
get
things
in
there
that
will
pay
for
themselves
and
you
start
generating
the
revenues
10
years
from
now
without
asking
the
public
to
give
you
more
money.
AJ
You
just
keep
this
thing
going
and
instead
of
saying,
I'm
gonna
get
this
money
for
these
things,
you're,
actually
creating
a
financial,
sustainable
way
to
fund
your
parks
department
forever,
so
that
10
years
from
now
you're
not
sitting
there
saying
we
don't
have
any
money,
because
guess
what
you're
not
gonna
have
any
money.
But
if
you
have
this
that
the
voters
vote
for
maybe
you
tell
them
that,
maybe
maybe
you
you
tell
them
that
I
think
they'll
sign
up
for
that.
I
really
do,
but
it
can't
be.
AE
No
other
questions
comment.
AE
What
you
did,
and
I
think
and
mayor
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong-
there
are
already
discussions
with
our
cfo
laurie
jason
and
their
staffs
in
terms
of
what
is
realistic,
so
those
discussions
are
being
had
right
now,
and
I
just
really
want
to
thank
you
for
what
you've
done
every
and
everybody
to
pull
this
together.
It
is
indeed
historic
and
mr
mayor
and
council.
B
AJ
Eyes
have
it
thank
you
and
I'll
close
by
saying
this.
Our
goal
is
not
to
do
the
plan
right.
Our
goal
is
to
get
the
things
that
the
public
wants,
so
I'm
not
going
anywhere
we'll
we'll
help
with
all
these
things,
all
the
way
up
until
it's
done
and
then
and
then
past
that.
Thank
you
very
much
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
Q
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
members
of
council,
the
joint
committee
on
public
safety
and
recreation
met
yesterday
afternoon
at
one
o'clock.
If
I
could
take
this
a
little
bit
out
of
order,
the
under
agenda,
noun
items,
d,
e,
f
and
g
were
the
ones
that
are
on
our
agenda
that
were
part
of
both
the
recreation
and
the
public
safety
committee
meeting.
Q
But-
and
you
should
have
a
memorandum
from,
I
think,
heather
who
outlined
the
purposes
and
the
intent
of
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
with
d
e,
f
and
g,
and
we
have
steve
rumlin
here
who
can
answer
some
questions.
But
the
intent
of
these
four
ordinances
were
to
provide
some
clarification
with
our
existing
ordinances
dealing
with
public
assembly.
Q
It
could
be
a
protest,
it
could
be
a
parade,
it
could
be
a
special
event,
but
the
intent
was
to
pass
some
clarity
to
those
type
of
events
and
also,
at
the
same
time
provide
for
input
from
the
the
applicants
so
that
they
had
some
clarity
as
to
what
they
were
applying
for
what
the
rules
were
going
to
be
and
to
the
public.
So
the
public
was
made
aware
of
what
we
were
and
were
not
permitting,
and
why.
Q
The
other
component
with
all
of
this
was
making
sure
that
we
were
taking
advantage
of
the
new
law
that
was
passed
by
the
general
assembly
on
what's
called
open,
carry
and
to
make
sure
that
we
weren't
number
one
in
compliance
with
our
existing
ordinances
that
may
need
to
be
repealed
or
modified,
and
to
take
advantage
of
some
of
the
restrictions
that
the
open
carry
law,
as
passed
by
the
general
assembly,
allowed
us
to
do
with
these
public
assembly
events.
So
d,
e,
f
and
g
are
somehow
interrelated.
Q
With
that
general
concept,
we
received
a
report
from
steve
outlining
a
little
more
detail
which
I'm
giving
you
right
now,
but
the
joint
committee
on
public
safety
and
recreation
recommended
unanimously
for
your
approval,
d,
e,
f
and
g.
If
you
have
any
specific
questions,
steve
is
here
julia's
here
susan's
here,
chief
reynolds
is
here
to
answer
questions
regarding
that,
and
I
would
like
to
barbecue
this
report.
Mr
mayor,
to
submit
items,
d,
e,
f
and
g
for
approval
by
the
committee
move.
B
In
fact,
most
of
us
were
present
so
rather
than
this
is
important
as
well,
but
since
we
had
so
many
members
present
I'll
just
leave
it
with
councilmember
shade's
presentation
unless
of
course
we're
open
for
any
discussion
or
questions
that
anyone
else
anybody
might
have
on
the
council,
any
any
questions
or
further
discussion,
very
good
question
all
right.
All
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
and
you
oppose
the
eyes.
Have
it.
Q
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
The
other
items
of
for
consideration
are
remaining
are
sections.
I
mean
items
a
b,
c
and
h
item
a
dealt
with
an
application
for,
and
I
think
we
may
have
taken
that
part
of
this
already
with
our
ways
and
needs
committee
to
the
2021
bja
smart
policing
initiative,
I'm
either
under
item
b,
approval
to
submit
an
application
for
the
2021
bja
connect
and
protect
law
enforcement,
behavioral
health
responses
grant
for
550
000.
Q
and
see
approval
to
submit
an
application
for
the
2021
police
assistant,
addiction
and
recovery
americorps
vista
program,
and
the
committee
recommended
approval
for
a
b
and
c.
Finally,
item
h
on
our
agenda
was
a
revisit
of
the
civil
sidewalks.
Q
We
made
some
changes
with
that
number
one.
We
got
rid
of
the
warning
section
on
that
and
I
think
we
have
the
fines
on
that.
Steve
is
what
else
am
I
missing
on
the
sidewalk.
AQ
This
morning
it
was
the
trespassing
provision
went
from
60
days
a
month.
We
made
a
clerical
correction
where
on
meeting
street,
because.
AQ
Q
P
B
We
have
a
motion
to
approve
a
b
c
and
h
as
in
harry
any
further
discussion
or
questions
on
those
four
items.
Hearing
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
and
you
oppose
the
odds
have
it.
Thank
you,
sir.
Next
up
is
committee
on
traffic
and
transportation.
Council
members.
AD
Seeking
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Very
briefly.
We
met
yesterday
afternoon,
I'd
say
yesterday
morning
at
11
o'clock,
we
welcomed
our
new
interim
director,
mr
summerville.
We
had
one
application
for
public
convenience,
which
was
murdoch
taxi
that
was
approved
unanimously.
AD
We
then
took
up
some
minor
amendments
to
the
pedicab
ordinance,
one
of
which
is
calling
it
pedicab
ordinance
as
opposed
to
rickshaw
ordinance,
we're
going
to
after
we
get
through
the
next
round
of
contracts
with
currently
existing
three
companies
that
are
currently
operating
the
petty
cabs.
They
have
automatic
renewal
provisions
in
there
that
would
essentially
give
them
access
in
perpetuity
to
that
business.
So,
after
this
one
of
the
amendments
we
put
in
the
ordinance
was
one
rolling
five-year
automatic
extension
and
then
we'll
go
back
to
public
bid.
AD
We're
also
going
to
increase
the
number
of
medallions
that
currently
there
are
30
it
will
go
to
36.
Those
will
actually
be
subject
to
public
bid
outside
of
the
contracts
when
they
get
into
the
stream
of
commerce,
which
will
be
after
the
contracts
that
are
being
renewed
in
august
have
actually
been.
Let
we
then
got
another
update,
an
excellent
update
from
mr
kronsberg
and
his
team
on
the
build
grant,
which
is
the
ashley
river
bridge.
We've
talked
about
a
little
bit
tonight.
AD
Suffice
it
to
say
that
there
is
a
lot
going
on
with
that
project.
All
of
it
is
positive.
We
are
in
a
position
to
succeed.
There
has
been
some
extensions
given
for
some
of
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
in
advance
of
being
able
to
hire
our
design,
build
team
by
the
grant
team
at
the
federal
level.
We're
going
to
work
with
any
luck
at
all
in
advance
of
those
deadlines
and
get
things
in
place,
so
we
can
get
out
there
put
out
for
bid
and
hire
a
design
build
team
to
go
forward.
AD
We
will
continue
by
the
way
for
those
who've
asked
to
get
quarterly
updates
unless
there
are
some
big
benchmarks
and
the
reason
for
that
rather
than
every
month
is
because
our
team's
working
hard
and
we
would
rather
have
them
out
there
making
sure
this
project
succeeds
been
telling
us
about
what
they're
doing
so.
I
just
want
to
thank
staff,
mr
cronsberg
and
his
team
for
all
I've
done.
If
you
have
any
questions,
he's
got
a
presentation.
AD
He
can
show
you
that
has
renderings
of
what
the
bridge
is
going
to
look
like
how
the
project
is
actually
going
to
work,
what
the
traffic
patterns
will
look
like,
and
then
I
want
to
thank
ms
halverson
for
jumping
in
really
quickly
on
this
pedicab
ordinance.
She
took
up
the
mantle
so
with
that
both
items
three
and
four
need
approval
of
this
council
and
I
would
move
for
their
adoption
I'll.
AC
AC
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
seekings.
I
again,
I
think
I
brought
up
the
same
sort
of
highlighting
suggestion.
I
I
do
think
that
mr
kronsberg's
build
grant
presentation
was
excellent
and
really
brought
all
of
us
up
to
date.
I
know
that
we've
had
some.
You
know,
questions
that
are
understandable
from
the
public
that
haven't
really
seen
anything
happening.
AC
I
think
that
would
be
a
really
excellent
graphic.
To
put
you
know,
maybe
we
can
get
a
reporter
to
put
it
in
the
newspaper
so
that
people
are
able
to
understand
that
we
have
been
doing
nothing
but
making
all
the
progress.
That's
required
of
a
federal
use
of
funds
in
the
last
year
and
a
half
just
so
we're
not.
You
know
we're
not
giving
the
wrong
impression
that
we're
not
making
progress.
B
Absolutely
any
other
comments
or
questions
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
and
the
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
Next
up
is
committee
on
public
works
and
utilities
councilmember
waring.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
AB
AB
I
skipped
item
d.
We
had
discussions
on
environmental
services
as
well
as
the
holiday
schedule,
coinciding
with
cities,
people
as
well
as
independent
contract
for
contractors,
people
and
they're
going
to
report
back
to
the
committee.
That's
the
extent
of
my
report,
with
the
exception
of
mr
fountain's,
going
to
give
a
brief
update
on
small
projects.
BB
I'll,
just
try
really
hard
got
some
word,
so
this
is
a
quick
update
where
we
are
with
the
small
projects.
This
is
the
one
million
dollar
annual
allocation.
That's
provided
each
year
the
2020
projects
are
allocated.
Of
course,
then
we
work
through
the
projects.
The
2020
allocation
had
12
total
projects.
11
of
those
have
been
completed.
BB
The
only
one
that's
still
in
progress
on
that
is
the
highland
outfall,
which
is
where
we
basically
just
completed
moa
recently
with
the
town
of
james
island
to
cost
share
work
that
the
town
james
allen
is
preparing
on
that
project.
So
all
of
our
internal
projects
are
complete.
I'm
happy
to
go
through
those
if
anyone
wants
a
list,
but
now
that
I
can
go
faster
and
not
go
through
them.
The
2021
funding
which
we
approved.
BB
There
are
20
projects
within
that
list
and
we
have
just
for
those
a
little
more
recent
we're
currently
in
design
on
the
concord
street
water
front
park,
handicap
drainage
improvement,
the
devonshire,
outfall
cleaning
and
burns
downs.
Outfall
cleaning
have
been
permitted
competitively
bid.
We
should
have
that
recommendation
for
award
at
the
next
council
meeting
for
those
two
outfalls.
BB
There
are
four
property
retrofits
in
church
creek
that
we
actually
discussed
earlier
today
and
we'll
be
on
the
ways
and
means
report
out
in
a
second
for
the
fee,
amendment
to
finalize
the
design
in
the
mall
airport
area
of
church
creek
to
retrofit
those
into
park
space,
coral
reef,
the
ditch
piping,
that's
a
project,
that's
actually
out
to
bid.
Now,
I
think,
is
actually
coming
in
four
bids
this
week
and
then
the
dowden
area,
hydraulic
improvements.
This
is
the
dowden
court
area.
BB
We've
completed
the
design
work
which
is
part
of
the
2020
funding,
and
we
now
have
rough
design
work
that
we're
doing
easement
acquisition
for
to
complete
the
actual
improvement
work
this
year.
So
there's
a
series
of
other
projects
as
well.
I
can
address
if
we
need
to,
but
I
know
we're
all.
I
think
that
does.
B
Okay,
great,
that
was
the
vote
on
one
matter
right.
We
got
a
motion
to
approve
on
the
second
council
member
brady.
Yes,
thank.
AK
You,
mr
mayor,
since
we're
going
to
get
first
reading
to
the
johns
island
municipal
improvement
district
tonight
from
the
ways
and
means
report.
I
did
want
to
ask
since
the
public
hearing,
if
it
follows
a
normal
schedule
would
be
on
daniel
island,
which
you
can
imagine,
as
councilmember
del
chapo
pointed
out
for
her
folks
to
get
downtown
was
a
long
way.
It
works
exactly
the
same
trying
to
get
from
john's
island
to
daniel
island.
AK
So
I
wanted
to
see
and
work
with
planning
but
to
see
if,
even
if,
it's
not
a
full
public
hearing
on
johns
island,
if
we
can
do
some
type
of
public
information
listening
session
or
something
to
that
effect
before
we
actually
go
into
the
public
hearing
on
the
mid.
R
So,
mr
mayor,
through
you,
we
can
do
that
just
to
be
clear,
though
statutorily
the
public
hearing
would
be
at
that
august
17th
meeting.
But
yes,
we
would
be
happy
to
work
with
the
johns
island
task
force
or
one
of
the
other
groups
there
to
set
something
up
to
do
a
listening
session
as
you
called
it.
AK
Yeah,
no,
I
just
I
just
think
for
knowing
how
long
it
would
take
people
to
try
and
get
to
daniel
island
by
call
at
five
o'clock.
It
would
be
helpful
if
we
went
out
to
the
community,
especially
just
as
this
is
such
a
novel
kind
of
new
thing.
For
folks-
and
you
know,
people
are
going
to
have
opinions
on
it
and
not
just
from
the
taxing
standpoint,
but
also
you
know
on
how
the
mid
money
can
be
used.
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
get
that.
B
All
right,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
matter
from
ways
and
means
any
other
discussion
or
questions
all
in
favor.
Please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
with
council
member
gregory's
vote
duly
noted.
Next
motion
builds
up
on
first.
B
Items
one
through
twelve
second,
together
for
second
reading,
mr
mayor,
do
we
have.
E
E
Well,
I
just
have
a
question
I
guess
on
on
11
and
12.,
I
mean
it's
an
annexation
in
to
into
the
city.
Are
they
doing
something
with
this
property,
or
is
it
going
to
be
an
existing
business?
Do
we
know,
and
and
there's
a
reason
for
me
asking
on
that
one?
E
I
I
know
that
the
zoning
change
has
been
deferred
until
we
get
to
this
and
for
a
public
hearing,
but
those
those
properties
come
right
up
to
baseball
fields
that
nine
and
ten-year-olds
play.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
are
being
responsible
in
what
type
of
business
we
may
be
putting
there
and
and
if
they're
annexing
to
change
that
business.
B
All
right,
mr
summerfield,
you
got
any
information
on
that.
I
know
mr
moore
probably
knew
and
he
he
went
on
yeah.
R
R
And
and
imported
on
since
those
are
first
reads:
no.
B
There's
a
second,
mr,
maybe
this
is
for
the
annexation,
not
for
the.
E
P
Happy
to
amend
my
motion
to
just
take
one
through
ten
together
and
then,
if,
if
there.
H
B
Would
would
that
be
your
desire,
councilmember
sheila?
Yes,
sir,
please
yeah!
So
we
we
have
an
amendment
that
we
would
just
take
items
one
through
ten
at
this
time.
Second,.
AW
B
On
those
last
two
items,
all
right,
any
discussion
or
questions
on
one
through
10.
councilmember,
where
okay
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
and
the
opposed
now
for
third
reading.
Second
of
any
questions
on
those
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
aye
aye,
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
now
we
do
have
to
go
back
and
I'll
make
a
motion
that
first
reading
on
number
six.
P
Mr
mayor,
we
still
have
to
take
up
11
and
12.
all
right.
Oh
yeah,
we
were
gonna
I'll,
make
a
motion
that
we
definitely.
AC
AB
I
do
have
a
little
discussion
on
that.
Yes,
council,
remember
where
just
to
feed
into
what
councilman
shealy
alluded
to.
We
didn't
speak
about
this,
but
several
years
ago
there
was
a
effort
to
put
a
gas
station
on
those
two
lots
and,
and
obviously
it
backed
right
up
to
a
little
league
baseball
field
right.
There
got
pushed
back
from
the
community
on
that
and
obviously
the
gas
station
moved
someplace
else.
So
I
kind
of
share
your
concern
on
that
one
councilman.
B
Great,
I
understand
now
notion
to
the
furs
on
the
floor.
All
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
and
the
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
Now,
if
y'all
don't
mind,
we
do
need
to
go
back
to
item
number
six.
I
believe
it
was,
and
I
apologize
pardon
for
any
confusion
since
it
was
first
reading.
I
don't
think
we
had
to
delay
that
vote,
but
we'll
go
back
to
it.
