Here.
C
We
come
before
you,
god
praying
for
peace,
a
new
war
has
begun
and
hundreds
of
innocent
people
are
dying.
We
p,
we
pray
for
the
strength
and
the
courage
of
the
few
faced
with
the
ruthless
power
of
the
many
we
stand
together
with
our
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
ukraine,
the
birthplace
of
so
many
of
our
ancestors,
a
place
where
the
jewish
people
have
known
both
light
and
darkness.
C
May
our
people
remember
that
wherever
a
jew
is
in
danger
of
or
is
in
danger
or
hurt,
we
all
feel
that
danger
and
pain
as
well
as
they
seek
cover
from
the
life-threatening
missiles
and
fire
falling
from
the
sky
as
they
help
the
elderly
and
hug
their
children
tightly
and
defend
their
homeland.
We
pray
that
they
can
maintain
hope
that
a
sukhot
shalom,
a
canopy
of
blessing
and
peace
will
soon
emerge
above
them.
May
all
the
innocent
people
in
the
ukraine
and
throughout
the
region
know
that
we
are
with
them
even
from
afar.
C
A
So
I
know
many
of
y'all
have
been
with
us
before,
but
just
the
in
the
most
unlikely
event
that
we
would
need
to
evacuate
the
building.
We
would
not
be
using
the
elevator
and
we
have
as
exits
from
this
room,
these
two
doors
here
and
one
door
from
the
room
to
my
right
and
you
just
simply
have
to
use
the
two
stairwells
going
down
and
then
the
one
stairwell
out
the
front
very
unlikely,
but
I
just
want
everybody
to
have
that
situational
awareness.
In
the
event
we
needed
to
leave
the
building.
A
So
I
I
would
like
to
ask
council
if
you
would
consider
amending
the
agenda.
It
came
to
my
attention
just
this
morning,
a
letter
from
secretary
hall
to
the
county
regarding
the
completion
of
I-526
and
would
like
to
con,
have
council
consider
a
resolution
just
supporting
the
county's
efforts
in
that
completion.
A
Second,
thank
you,
and
if
we
could
do
that
first
up,
I
would
appreciate
it.
So
we
can
send
a
message
to
county
council
whose
meeting
this
evening,
any
discussion
just
to
add
it
to
the
agenda
hearing,
none
of
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
So
the
resolution
reads
in
support
of
the
completion
of
I-526
and
phasing
recommended
by
south
carolina
department
of
transportation,
whereas
charleston
county
council
received
on
april
25th
2022
notice
from
south
carolina
secretary
of
transportation
to
provide
updated
information
on
the
proposed
mark
clark
extension
project,
whereas
the
scdot
notified
the
county.
A
This
monies
in
place
with
expending
approximately
150
million
dollars
for
the
remaining
preparatory
work
necessary
to
ready
the
project
for
bid
now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
by
the
mayor
and
city
council
of
city
of
charleston
and
council
assembled
that
the
city
continues
to
support
county
council's
efforts
to
complete
construction
of
I-526,
as
well
as
any
project
phasing
that
county
council
may
deem
necessary
and
appropriate.
That's
a
resolution.
We
have
a
motion
to
approve
and
a
second
any
discussion
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
right,
any
opposed
the
eyes.
A
Have
it
we'll
send
this
by
text
message
right
away
to
county
council,
so
they'll
know
we
voted
on
this
encouragement
this
evening.
Okay.
Next,
we
have
a
number
of
proclamations
this
evening,
a
few
more
than
normal,
but
we
had
a
lot
of
requests
from
council
members
as
well
as
being
that
part
of
the
year.
First
up
is
proclamation
recognizing
provider,
appreciation
day.
It
was
requested
by
council
members,
sheili,
sacran
and
brady.
A
A
Today.
Support
for
high
quality
child
care
represents
a
worthy
commitment
to
our
children's
future,
whereas
the
city
of
charleston
urges
all
citizens
to
recognize
child
care
providers
for
their
important
work.
Now,
therefore,
I
john
j
techenberg
mayor
city,
charleston,
do
hereby
proclaim.
May
6
will
be
provider
appreciation
day
in
the
city
of
charleston
and
as
a
father
of
five
children,
I
can
tell
you
firsthand
how
important
child
care
can
be
to
families
here
and
in
the
state
of
south
carolina,
so
thank
you
ashley
and
to
all
child
care
providers.
A
D
After
you,
I
won't
be
long.
I
just
want
to
say
thanks
to
the
child
care
providers
in
the
community
number,
one
kova
did
show
us
the
remarkable
appreciation
and
effect
that
they
have
to
keep
our
economy
going
to
keep
working
parents
working.
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
everything
you
do
and
I
would
be
remiss.
This
is
probably
the
only
time
to
do
this
this
evening.
I'd
be
remiss
if
we
didn't
tell
the
families
and
the
children
that
suffered
some
gun
violence
last
night,
north
charleston,
that
we
are
thinking
about
you.
D
E
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
ashley
for
the
job
she
does.
She
takes
care
of
a
lot
of
children
that
are
in
that
happen
to
be
in
the
district
that
I
represent
and
right
in
the
entrance
of
springfield
and
canterbury
woods
and
she
does
a
fantastic
job,
and
I
can
tell
you
because
my
wife
is
a
also
a
preschool
director
in
west
ashley,
that
it
is
a
tough
job.
E
E
She's
got
a
spray
thing:
sprays
things
down,
but
she's
having
to
show
up
early
and
stay
late
to
make
sure
everything's,
clean
and
sanitary
for
each
day,
and
I
can
tell
you
when
we,
when
there
was
a
break,
there
were
parents
that
were
begging
for
preschools
to
open
back
up
so
ashley.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
that.
You
do
and
thank
you
to
all
of
the
child
care
providers
that
are
out
there.
E
A
All
right
next
up,
we
have
a
proclamation
recognizing
international
composting
awareness
week
did
everybody
know
it's
international
composting
awareness
week,
I'm
gonna
ask
our
own
katie
mccain
who's,
our
director
of
sustainability
and
betsy
leforce
with
the
south
carolina
coastal
conservation
league
to
join
me
up
here.
Anybody
else.
That's
supposed
to
be
up
here.
Sorry
about
that.
A
Whereas
the
compost,
research
and
education
foundation,
along
with
countries
of
canada,
australia,
uk
other
countries
have
declared
the
first
full
week
of
may
to
be
annual
international
compost
awareness
week.
Organic
waste
such
as
food
and
yard
waste,
make
up
approximately
30
percent
of
material
going
to
landfills
nationally
and
produce
harmful
methane
gas
emissions
up
to
30
times
more
potent
of
the
carbon
dioxide.
A
Whereas
the
city
of
charleston
is
now
offering
south
carolina
d.
Hec
control,
funded
food,
scrap
drop-off
pilot
program
to
encourage
residential
composting
at
designated
drop
sites
for
free
in
order
to
renew
reduce
emissions
from
organic
waste
sent
to
landfills.
Whereas
the
city's
action
climate
plan
passed
in
2021
set
a
goal
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
more
than
half
of
2018's
levels
by
2030
and
to
reduce
emissions
to
net
zero
by
2050.
A
A
Now,
therefore,
I
john
j
teckenberg
mayor
of
sydney,
charleston,
do
hereby
proclaim.
May
1st
through
the
7th
will
be
international
compost
awareness
week
in
the
city
of
charleston,
and
let
me
shout
out
to
the
county
of
charleston
they've
been
running
a
composting
program
for
some
time
you
can
take
stuff
out
to
the
bee's
fairy
land
phil.
You
can
even
pick
up
compost
from
them
and
thanks
to
katie,
mccain
and
the
city,
we
started
this
program.
I
and
my
family
have
been
participating.
A
We
got
this
little
plastic
thing,
we
put
our
scraps
in
and
I
take
it
out
to
ackerman
park
and
and
y'all.
I
have
noticed
a
reduction
in
the
amount
of
regular
trash
in
my
green
trash.
Can
that
I
put
out
every
week
just
because
of
composting.
This
really
works.
We
can
reduce
the
waste
stream
of
our
city.
If
everyone
would
compost-
and
you
don't
have
to
do
it
that
way,
you
can
do
it.
A
G
Thank
you,
mayor
teklenberg
and
members
of
city
council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
recognizing
international
accomplice.
Awareness
week
next
week.
As
you
know,
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
compost
this
year
because
we
started
the
program
mayor
techenberg
mentioned
that
he's
participating
in
it's
it's
a
residential
program.
There's
a
couple
drop
sites
throughout
the
city
and
it's
really
easy
for
residents
to
drop
off
their
food
scraps
and
participate.
G
Our
compost
hauler,
who
is
grant
funded
for
this
year
only
then
services,
those
carts
hauls,
the
material
out
to
the
beesbury
compost
facility,
which
is
award
winning
and
materials
process
from
there.
So
I
want
to
just
really
quickly
share
some
data.
So
far
from
the
program
presidents
love
this
program.
People
are
really
eager
and
excited
to
participate.
There's
over
800
households
that
have
voluntarily
signed
up.
Many
more
are
interested.
I
hear
from
people
every
day
asking
questions
making
sure
they're
following
the
directions.
G
They
want
to
know
how
the
program's
going
it's
going
really
well
and
they.
What
they
really
want
to
do
is
pledge
their
support
for
the
program
to
continue
permanently
into
next
year.
So
I
wanted
to
share
that
with
you.
I
also
wanted
to
share.
We
have
a
data-driven
goal,
as
we
are
a
data-driven
city
which
came
from
our
climate
action
plan
to
divert
20
tons
of
food
scraps
during
this
program
for
for
in
our
first
six
months,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
announce
that
we
are
on
track
to
meet
and
potentially
exceed
that
goal.
G
We
have
collected
over
nine
tons
so
far
in
just
our
first
two
and
a
half
months.
So
that's
really
exciting.
Now,
there's
lots
of
benefits
to
composting.
I
don't
want
to
go
through
them
all,
but
I
did
want
to
mention
one
that
mayor
teclenberg
touched
on
too.
That
has
really
stood
out
in
this
test
pilot
period
so
far,
and
that's
the
potential
to
reduce
our
garbage
collection
expenses.
G
One
quarter
of
our
garbage
collected
is
food
waste
and
that
could
be
composted
instead
and
this
the
success
is
really
in
the
model.
This
idea
of
community
drop
sites
has
been
widely
successful
in
all
kinds
of
other
cities
and
other
urban
areas.
Globally
and
like
I
said,
the
success
is
in
the
model,
so
the
material
is
taken
to
designated
sites
where
users
are
already
frequenting
and
visiting
our
city
parks.
G
So
once
when
that
material
is
picked
up
at
designated
locations,
instead
of
picking
it
up
curbside
at
individual
residential
addresses,
we
are
saving
a
whole
bunch
of
money,
and
that's
something
we're
currently
doing
is
picking
it
up
curbside.
So
I
will
be
sharing
a
lot
more
data
and
analysis
with
the
resilience
and
sustainability
advisory
committee
about
this
program
in
our
main
meeting,
and
if
anyone
is
interested
in
learning
more
about
it
in
the
meantime,
please
just
let
me
know
thank
you
so
much.
H
Katie
and
members
of
city
council
for
recognizing
international
compost
awareness
week
a
week
early
tonight,
my
name
is
betsy
laforce,
I'm
a
senior
project
manager
with
the
coastal
conservation
league.
It's
been
an
honor
to
be
involved.
With
the
creation
of
this
new
composting
program,
I
had
the
privilege
of
representing
the
conservation
league
in
the
climate
action
planning
process.
Last
year
with
council
member
brady.
H
Our
committee
worked
to
come
up
with
various
solutions
to
waste
problems
in
charleston,
and
this
pilot
program
grew
out
of
those
ideas
and
thanks
to
the
outstanding
leadership
of
katie
mccain,
a
community
compost
program
is
now
up
and
running
from
idea
to
plan
to
implementation
in
less
than
a
year.
So
how
is
that
for
efficiency
and
the
power
of
action
at
the
local
level?
The
goal
of
ical
is
to
work
together
to
raise
public
awareness
on
why
we
should
all
be
composting,
our
organics
recycling
and
using
compost.
H
What
a
great
opportunity
to
highlight
the
progress
that's
happening
locally
in
charleston.
This
pilot
program
is
bringing
free
composting
access
to
residents
who
were
previously
limited
to
either
backyard
composting,
and
we
know
many
people
don't
have
a
backyard
or
paying
a
monthly
fee
for
private
hauling
services,
which
can
be
cost
prohibitive.
H
This
pilot
is
an
exciting
step
towards
sustainable
waste
management
and
increased
environmental
literacy
in
our
community.
So
hats
off
to
the
city
of
charleston,
for
being
one
of
the
first
municipalities
in
the
whole
state
to
offer
a
city-led
community
compost
program,
certainly
the
first
in
the
low
country.
H
H
Just
last
week,
the
compost
material
generated
already
from
this
program
was
returned
to
our
city
parks
and
gardens.
We
know
that
government
action
can't
meet
a
mission
reduction
goals
alone.
We
need
the
entire
community
to
be
a
part
of
climate
solutions
and
that's
exactly
what
this
program
is
doing.
Building
community
support
and
awareness
around
doing
the
rot
thing
in
charleston
by
composting
our
food
waste.
H
H
H
It
was
my
foray
and
to
the
environmental
work
and
community
work
here
in
charleston
more
than
10
years
ago,
some
of
my
fondest
memories
of
volunteering
are
centered
around
compost,
education
and
food
waste
collection
at
various
events
in
the
city,
where
I
had
the
pleasure
of
working
alongside
our
dear
friend
and
community
mvp
sebastian
de
monica,
whose
life
and
legacy
we
honored
just
last
week
and
saw
you
there
councilmember
mitchell.
Thank
you
for
being
there.
H
Sebastian
was
awarded
volunteer
of
the
year
by
keep
charleston
beautiful
among
many
other
accolades
for
his
fierce
commitment
to
supporting
his
community
sebastian
was
passionate
about
composting
and
would
be
thrilled
to
see
this
proclamation
before
city
council
tonight
we
at
the
conservation
league
are
hopeful
that
the
success
of
this
pilot
program
will
lead
to
a
full-time
composting
program
for
the
city
of
charleston.
Thank
you
all
for
your
leadership
and
service
to
the
citizens
of
charleston
and
happy
almost
international
compost
awareness
week.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
Okay,
I'll
just
end
up
by
saying
composting
is
cool
if
you're
not
doing
it
get
with
it,
yeah
all
right.
So
next
up
we
have
a
proclamation
recognizing
child
produced
child
abuse
prevention
month,
which
we
recognize
every
year,
such
a
critical
issue.
I'd
like
to
ask
beverly
hutchison
to
please
come
forward.
She's
the
executive
director
y'all
of
the
d
norton
child
advocacy
center
kate
prestak,
are
you
with
us,
kate,
communications
coordinator
for
d
norton
as
well?
A
You
all
please
come
forward,
and
I
believe
later
this
week,
we'll
be
having
our
pinwheel
ceremony
as
well.
So,
whereas
south
carolina's
future
prosperity
and
quality
of
life
depend
on
the
healthy
development
of
more
than
1.1
million
children
residing
in
diverse
communities
across
our
state,
80,
000
of
which
are
in
charleston
county,
whereas
preventing
child
abuse
and
neglect
must
be
a
priority
and
requires
individuals,
families,
child
serving
organizations,
schools,
everyone
and
whereas
child
abuse
is
a
serious
public
health
issue
with
wide-ranging
societal
consequences.
A
Whereas
statewide
and
community
prevention
programs
serve
as
proven
and
effective
ways
to
reduce
child
abuse
and
neglect,
no
matter
the
geographic
region,
race
or
ethnicity
or
economic
status,
and
the
d
norton
lowcountry
children's
center
serves
the
charleston
community
they're
amazing,
by
providing
a
one-stop
location
for
services
provided
to
families
and
children
in
need.
Whereas
in
fiscal
year
2021
there
were
8944
founded
child
protective
services,
investigations
with
15
980
children
in
south
carolina
670
investigations
with
1247
children
right
here
in
charleston
county.
A
This
is
real
and
if
you
see
something
you
suspect
child
abuse
or
neglect,
please
say
something
report
it
now.
Therefore,
I
john
j
teklenberg
mayor
of
the
city
of
charleston
do
hereby
proclaim
april
2022
as
child
abuse
prevention
month
in
the
city
of
charleston,
and
I
invite
beverly
to
come
forward
and
share
some
words
with
us
from
the
d
norton
child
center
beverly.
B
I
come
grateful
to
the
mayor
to
the
city
to
the
council.
Without
your
help,
31
years
ago,
there
likely
would
be
no
d,
norton
child
advocacy
center.
For
31
years
we
have
lived
at
1061
king
street
and
in
31
years
we
have
helped
32
000
children
and
families
in
our
community.
We
cannot
do
it
without
your
help
and
we
are
so
grateful
for
that.
B
I'm
grateful
to
go
to
work
every
day.
I'm
grateful
for
the
five-year-old
little
girl
that
I
sat
with
last
week
in
our
center
east
of
the
cooper
we
ran
out
of
space
at
1061
king
street.
Three
years
ago.
We
had
to
open
a
second
full
service
location
in
mount
pleasant
to
better
serve
those
east
of
the
cooper
sat
there
with
that
little
girl.
I
was
grateful
that
she
wanted
to
play.
B
B
Mostly,
I
was
grateful
for
her
imagination
because,
with
a
waste
management
truck
a
fire
truck
three
dinosaurs
and
a
doll,
she
completed
an
entire
story
for
20
minutes
ad
lib
april.
Is
national
child
abuse
prevention
month?
We
would
all
want
it
not
to
happen.
I
would
love
for
us
to
be
out
of
business.
B
That's
not
going
to
happen
anytime
soon.
Each
of
us
in
this
room
has
a
responsibility.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
the
children
in
our
community,
so
this
april,
I
challenge
you
learn
something
if
we
know
more,
we
do
better
visit
our
website.
They're
great
resources.
There
simple
things
at
home,
talk
to
your
children
communicate.
B
Let
them
see
that
you're,
okay,
you're
a
safe
place
to
talk
about
anything,
even
the
yucky
stuff,
so
that
when
something
happens
to
them,
god
forbid
they
come
to
you
and
then
you
know
where
to
go,
and
thanks
to
this
body
large
part,
you
know
to
go
to
the
norton
child
advocacy
center.
Go
to
our
website.
Take
our
pledge
pledge
to
prevent,
protect
and
heal.
Thank
you.
A
So
for
the
council
members
that
that
don't
know
beverly
mentioned
how
the
city
was
so
helpful.
31
years
ago,
the
building
on
king
street
was
provided
at
e
norton
by
the
city
of
charleston,
we're
a
pretty
good
landlord.
Aren't
we
a
whole
dollar
a
year,
so
we
continue
to
support
d
norton
directly
through
through
the
facility
and
we're
so
thankful
for
what
you
all
do.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
A
So
april,
among
many
other,
these
accolades
is
also
fair
housing
month
and
we
have
this
proclamation,
whereas
the
fair
housing
act
was
passed
54
years
ago
and
and
we
are
still
fighting
against
discrimination
and
housing.
Fair
housing
month
is
a
time
to
recommit
to
our
nation's
obligation
to
ensure
that
everyone
has
equal
access
to
safe,
decent
and
affordable
housing,
whereas
the
fair
housing
act
protects
people
from
discrimination
when
they
are
renting
or
buying
a
home.
A
Securing
a
mortgage
seeking
housing
assistance
or
engaging
in
other
housing
related
activities
in
2021,
the
u.s
department
of
housing
and
urban
development
and
its
fair
housing
assistance
program.
Partner
agencies
receive
more
than
8
500
complaints,
alleging
discrimination
based
on
one
or
more
of
the
fair
housing
act,
7
protected
classes,
race,
color,
national
origin,
religion,
sex,
family
status
and
disability.
A
Whereas
last
year
the
highest
number
of
complaints
stem
from
disability
and
race
respectively,
as
well
as
complaints,
alleging
lending
discrimination
and
from
women
who
face
sexual
harassment
and
whereas
hud
and
the
city
of
charleston
join
together
in
supporting
the
fair
housing
act.
Fair
housing
for
all,
whereas
we
in
collaboration
with
hud
and
other
housing
partners,
seek
to
end
housing.
Discrimination
provide
redress
to
those
who
have
experienced
housing.
A
Discrimination
seek
to
eliminate
racial
bias
and
other
forms
of
discrimination
in
all
stages
of
home,
buying
and
renting,
and
seek
to
secure
equal
access
to
housing
opportunity
for
all,
and
whereas
fair
housing
is
more
than
just
words,
it's
the
law.
Now,
therefore,
I
john
j
teckenberg
mayor,
the
city
of
charleston,
do
hereby
proclaim
april
22
as
fair
housing
month
in
the
city
of
charleston,
and,
of
course,
you
know,
gianna
johnson,
the
director
of
housing,
community
development,
has
worked
diligently,
her
whole
career
to
ensure
fair
housing
for
all.
A
But
I
want
to
recognize
and
ask
someone
to
say
a
few
words.
That's
oatha
meadows
he's
the
head
of
the
local
trident
urban
league
and
they
work
day
in
and
out
on
these
issues
and
in
fact,
on
the
matter
that
we
will
discuss
at
our
meeting
later
tonight
regarding
fair
housing
in
the
city
of
charlton.
He
is
a
partner
to
us
and
willing
to
help
us
in
any
way
that
they
can
to
make
sure
we're
providing
fair
housing
for
all
otha.
I
I
don't
think
I
have
to
tell
anyone
here
that,
especially
in
this
climate,
fair
housing
is
our
number
one
priority.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
provide
fair
and
equal
access
to
housing
to
each
and
every
resident
in
the
city,
and
I
will
tell
you
categorically
that
the
urban
league
is
working
hard
in
that
accord.
But
it's
it's
not
the
urban
league
alone.
As
the
mayor
has
said,
it
is
the
urban
league
working
in
collaboration
with
the
city
of
charleston.
I
We
have
been
working
with
this
collaboration
for
since
about
2009,
I
think
gianna,
and
over
those
years
we
have
done
a
tremendous
job
in
bringing
remedies
to
those
persons
who
are
being
impacted
by
fair
housing
infractions
in
this
community,
but
we
still
have
a
long
ways
to
go.
As
the
mayor
has
said,
I
was
reading
the
same
report
from
hud.
As
I
came
over
here
a
little
earlier.
I
I
We
have
helped
over
15
people
buy
their
first
home
and
we're
going
a
little
further.
We
were
only
one
of
three
agencies
in
the
nation
selected
by
hud
to
receive
fair
housing,
education
and
outreach
funding.
This
year
we
are
going
to
be
rolling
out
a
campaign
in
the
next
couple
weeks.
Mr
mayor
about
fair
housing
is
more
than
words.
You
will
see
messaging
on
carter,
buses
on
the
exterior
and
the
interior.
I
I'd
like
to
advise
you,
mr
mayor,
I'd
like
to
invite
council
members
to
come
out
when
we
kick
off
that
campaign,
let's
not
only
think
of
this
month
as
fair
housing,
but
let's
use
every
month
of
the
year
to
commit
to
providing
fair
and
equal
access
to
housing
in
the
city
of
charleston.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
all
thank
you
for
for
our
partnership.
We
really
appreciate
it
last
one
up
a
proclamation
recognizing
teacher
appreciation
week,
and
this
was
a
great
question
by
councilmember
brady.
So
I
asked
him
to
come
back
up
again:
courtney
waters
with
us,
she's
the
man
senior
managing
director
for
external
affairs
for
teach
for
america
south
carolina
and
thank
you
for
your
service
by
the
way
to
our
school
district
and
all
of
you.
So
thank
you
for
being
with
us,
so
the
proclamation
and
and
council
member
sacrament
is
back
up
with
us.
A
He
is
a
employee
and
a
servant
of
charleston
county
school
district
as
well,
whereas
the
city
of
charleston
wishes
to
recognize
a
valued
organization
teach
for
america,
south
carolina,
which
has
been
a
source
of
high
quality
educators
for
our
schools
teach
for
america.
South
carolina
has
been
in
partnership
with
schools
across
the
low
country,
including
charleston
county
serving
communities
with
the
mission
of
ending
educational
inequity
in
the
state
for
the
last
10
years
teach
for
america.
A
South
carolina
has
been
responsible
for
the
recruitment
and
professional
development
of
teachers,
principals,
district
personnel
and
other
educational
professionals
in
the
charleston
area
teach
for
america.
South
carolina
has
nurtured
a
passion
for
education
in
the
hearts
and
minds
of
young
professionals
and
others,
and
whereas
teach
for
america,
south
carolina
has
committed
itself
to
serving
the
low
country
and
its
family
through
passionate
competent
student-focused
educators,
who
believe
all
children
can
be
successful.
A
Now,
therefore,
I'm
john
jay
teckelberg,
mayor
of
the
city
of
charleston,
in
honor
of
its
10-year
anniversary
anniversary,
hereby
proclaim,
may
2nd
through
6th
as
teacher
appreciation
week
in
the
city
of
charleston
boy.
Do
we
all
have
teachers
that
we're
thankful
for
they're
like
mentors
as
well?
Let's
hear
it
for
teachers,
so
courtney
welcome
you
to
make
a
few
remarks
and
thank
you
for
your
service
to
our
community
as
well.
Thank
you.
J
I
will
keep
this
short.
We
are
last
to
the
post,
but
here
for
a
very
important
reason.
We
are.
We
wanted
to
do
this
in
honor
of
the
work
that
teach
for
america
has
been
doing
for
the
last
10
years,
but
also
come
here
in
solidarity
with
teachers
across
the
state
of
which
there
are
tens
of
thousands
and
about
3
500
in
our
school
district.
J
So
for
this
teacher
appreciation
week.
If
you
could
just
do
some
of
those
small
things,
if
you
have
children
in
school,
think
about
taking
a
cup
of
coffee
in
the
morning
to
give
to
your
child's
teacher
or
having
them
write
a
letter
to
either
apologize
for
all
that
they've
done
over
the
course
of
the
year,
or
just
thank
them
for
being
a
thought
partner
and
being
an
extension
of
you
and
the
rest
of
your
family
teachers.
Are
I
mean
if
we
didn't
have
teachers
I
mean?
Where
would
we
be?
K
K
Thank
a
teacher
when
you
see
him
whether
it's
at
the
grocery
store,
whether
it's
at
your
child's
school
at
a
park
whatever.
It
is
because
they're
more
than
just
a
teacher
they're
the
doctor,
putting
a
band-aid
on
when
a
kid
scrapes,
their
key
or
scrapes
their
knee
at
recess,
they're,
the
educator
a
lot
of
times,
they're
the
parent
figure,
especially
while
they're
in
loco
parentis
during
the
day
taking
care
of
your
child.
K
L
I
I
didn't
know
this
was
coming
before
a
day
or
so
ago,
so
I
just
want
to
mention
that
my
wife
is
a
teacher,
so
I
I
thank
you
so
much
for
those
remarks.
It
has
gotten
so
difficult
to
be
a
teacher
in
these
angry
times
that
we
live
in.
You
know
we
saw
the
horrible
violence
in
north
charleston.
Yesterday
those
kids
are
going
to
go
to
school
and
their
teachers
are
going
to
be
there
for
them,
that's
a
safe
place
for
them.
L
I
see
I
watch
my
wife
sit
at
a
at
our
kitchen
table
and
teach
them
through
the
pandemic.
I
try
to
wrangle
a
classroom
full
of
kids
over
zoom.
I
see
what
she
comes
home
with
every
day.
I
see
what
she's
still
carrying
with
her
while
she's
at
home
with
our
newborn
child,
and
we
just
cannot
thank
teachers
enough
for
everything
that
they
do
and
and
I
want
to
encourage
anybody,
who's
listening.
Who
is
in
a
policymaking
role
to
not
just
leave
it
at
appreciation.
L
A
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
Teachers.
We're
we're,
certainly
appreciative.
So
next
up
is
our
public
hearings
and
mr
morgan,
I
think,
will
help
present
these
to
us.
The
first
one
speaking
of
schools
is
a
rezoning
matter
involving
63
columbus
street
former
school
building
on
on
the
east
side
of
charleston.
M
This
mayor
said
this
is
a
63,
the
old
wilmot
frazier
site.
It
is
owned
by
the
school
district
and
they
are
seeking
to
have
school
overlay
placed
on
the
property.
Of
course,
when
it
last
functioned,
it
did
not.
Can
you
all
hear
me
okay,
I'll
see,
if
I
could
is
that
better?
Is
that
better?
Okay?
So
when
it
last
functioned,
it
did
not.
M
This
is
just
the
first
step
to
get
the
school
overlay
on
the
property
and
then,
of
course,
it'll
go
to
the
bza.
We
have
some
images
of
the
property,
I'm
sure
you
all
are
pretty
familiar
with
it.
It
is
in
columbus
street
a
few
block
a
couple
blocks
in
from
east
bay.
Here
it
is
in
our
comprehensive
plan.
It
is
in
our
neighborhood
designation.
So
again,
a
school
is
a
very
appropriate
use
in
the
neighborhood
here's,
the
definition
of
neighborhood
from
our
comp
plan.
M
This
is
the
site
from
an
aerial
image,
and
then
we
have
some
other
aerial
images
of
the
property.
Here
it
is
from
the
street
view
again
this
buildings
can
be
renovated
and
added
onto,
but
they
will
have
to
go
through
the
school
overlay
special
exception
process.
First
and
the
planning
commission
recommend
recommended
approval,
seven
to
zero.
A
N
N
This
school
district
has
an
election
coming
up
in
june,
so
this
school
district
doesn't
provide
a
lot
of
public
hearings
in
terms
of
public
safety,
public
health.
They
get
tons
of
federal
money,
they
get
tons
of
of
money
from
state
government,
but
very
little
oversight
very
little,
and
it's
the
biggest
budget
in
this
community
and
by
you
rezoning
property.
This
increases
the
value
of
this
property
in
the
area
and
so
by
zoning,
this
property,
you
create
the
hardship
you
control
the
zoning
and
you
increase
the
value.
N
The
african
american
museum,
100
million
dollars
in
value
how's
it
going
to
affect
the
housing
authority.
How
does
it
affect
people
in
the
community
who
live
there
right
now?
You
got
the
power
you
creating
the
hardship.
You
got
the
zoning,
so
they
have
a
ton
of
property.
The
school
district
owns
all
over
the
city.
N
What
are
they
going
to
do
with
that
property
to
deal
with
housing
in
our
community?
They
own?
A
ton
of
property:
all
these
state
forces
are
the
union
pair
right
now,
30
million
on
that
property
will
that
be
transferred
over
you
control
the
zoning
you
control
it
and
you're
going
to
create
a
hardship
for
everybody.
J
N
J
In
that
neighborhood
and
those
children
have
to
go
to
another
area
altogether,
so
you
are
responsible
for
this
tragedy
that
we're
having
many
of
y'all
are
in
these
fraternities
and
you
act
like
you're
fighting
one
another,
but
you
work
together
when
you
leave
here,
you
go
into
a
bar
and
take
a
drink
and
you
shouldn't
drink
it
that
make
your
head
bad
and
you
come
up
the
next
day,
morphine,
you're
drunk
and
you
make
wrong
decisions.
Thank
you.
A
B
M
So
that
school
had
been
there
pre-existing
before
our
school
overlay,
then,
since
it
was
not
functioning
on
the
property
and
since
they're
going
to
have
a
new
operation
there
new
facility
set
up,
they
have
to
go
through
the
school
overlay
process.
That
is
new
to
the
city.
I
mean
we've
had
it
for
about
20
years,
but
still
it
is
a
process
they
have
to
go
through
that
a
pre-existing
school
would
not
have
had
to.
I
see
just
just
for
understanding.
F
O
Oh
yes,
mr
mayor,
they
had
numerous
meetings
that
a
lot
of
the
people
on
the
east
side
attended
at
tech
and
other
places
about
praise
of
school.
Let's
just
go
way
back
when
prairie
school
was
closed.
They
didn't
want
to
be
closed,
but
they
closed
it
when
they
create
the
new
sanders
clyde,
because
there
was
two
schools
at
one
time
and
they
closed
one
and
sanders
club
was
a
new
school
that
was
being
built.
It
was
a
big
uproar
pertaining
to
that
because
of
our
the
name
of
wilma
crazy.
O
I
don't
know
if
they're
going
to
do
that
or
not,
but
when
they
came
with
the
early
college
students,
they
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
front
facade
of
the
building
is
going
to
remain,
and
I
think
they
have
gotten
information
that
they
will
keep
that
front
the
way
it
is
because
they
attended
the
meeting.
So
we
they
pushed
for
that
to
make
sure
that
they
keep
that
front
of
that
building
still
the
same
if
they
do
anything
with
it.
O
So
that's
one
of
the
things
that
the
neighborhood
association
and
the
neighbors
in
that
particular
community
attended
those
meetings
that
was
alluded
to.
So
I
don't
hear
any
problems,
I
don't
say
anything
else
about
it
because
since
that
time,
so
I
just
that's
why
I
bought
the
movement
approval
right.
I
Yes,
there
is
a
question:
maybe
there
was
a
article.
I
don't
know
months
months
ago
about
a
portion
of
the
property
that
the
city
owned
that
was
being
used,
as
I
think,
a
playground
for
the
school
and
the
school
wasn't
letting
the
community
use
it
and
the
property
belongs
to
the
city.
Anybody
can
clear
that
up
for
me,
you
know
anything
about
your
counselor.
O
That
particular
property
was
fenced
in.
Is
it
highlighted
here
this
one
was
on
and
back
there
right
under
right
there,
okay,
yeah,
that
property
right,
it
was
fenced
in
and
it
was
used
by
the
school
years
ago
for
the
kids
to
come
and
play
for
recess,
and
things
like
that,
so
they
fence
that
in
to
make
sure
it
was
safe
for
the
for
the
kids
for
the
young
people
to
be
able
to
play.
Now
we
had
a
controversy
one
time
with
the
city
and
the
school
who
had
owned
it.
O
I
To
that,
that's
why
I
brought
it
up.
Why
don't
we
get
that
resolved
before
we
approve
this,
because
this
has
been
this
issue
as
far
as
who
owned
the
property
and
whether
the
community
can
have
access
to
the
park
or
not?
Let
me
tell
you
one
of
the
prettiest
lawns
in
the
city,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
pretty
lawns,
is
in
front
of
the
gill
yard
and
bust
academy
in
the
city
in
the
gill
yard,
those
kids
come
and
frequent
that
area
all
the
time
without
this
kind
of
controversy,
why
don't
we?
I
A
I
I
I
wanted
to
offer
to
you
that
there
was
an
another
couple
of
community
meetings
and,
as
a
result
of
of
those
meetings,
the
school
plans
to
make
improvements
to
to
the
lot
that
would
allow
kids
to
use
it
during
the
day,
but
also
it
will
be
open
to
the
public.
As
a
part
of
you
know
the
rest
of
the
day
and
on
the
weekends,
which
is
what
the
community
wanted.
A
A
I
A
A
I
O
Okay,
I
understand
exactly
what
you're
saying
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
that,
because
I
thank
you.
This
was
going
on
so
long
about
that
little
section,
because
the
church
was
using
it
one
time
to
park
their
bus
in,
and
then
you
had
a
problem
with
that.
Some
of
the
people
had
a
problem
with
that.
So
what
I
was
making
the
motion.
My
motion
was
really
for
the
school
building
right.
O
O
A
B
B
P
I
Can
right
hand
work
to
a
workable
agreement
and
how
many
years
we've
been
trying
to
work
with
this
with
the
school
district,
so
I
mean
I
like
the
idea
of
deferring
this
until
we
get
that
done.
It
doesn't
take
that
long
for
the
school
district
with
their
team
of
lawyers
to
come
up
with.
I
understand
you
on
the
conditional
part,
but
if
we
defer
this
and
allow
them
to
come
up
with
that
agreement,.
K
The
latest
is
per
some
of
those
neighborhood
meetings.
There
was
a
request
that
a
mou
be
established
between
the
city
and
the
school
district
on
the
hours
of
operation
and
the
work
that
is
in
their
budget,
so
we're
working
on
that
now
and
hopefully
get
that
together
soon.
That
defines
all
of
the
stuff
you've
heard
here
outside
of
the
ownership
issue,
but
public
access,
the
design
and
the
construction
that
the
school
district's
getting
ready
to
take
on.
A
Q
A
A
M
Two,
yes,
sir,
this
is
100
line
street.
It's
in
the
canonboro
elliottborough
neighborhood.
It's
a
request
to
rezone
from
diverse
residential
dr2f,
to
commercial
transitional,
to
orient
you
to
the
property.
This
is
line
street
south
of
the
septum
mclark
parkway,
and
it
is
about
a
block
south
of
that.
It's
a
in
the
block
between
and
percy
streets.
We
have
some
other
images
of
the
property.
M
This
is
in
our
comprehensive
plan.
It
is
another
property
that
is
in
neighborhood,
so
the
rezoning
request
would
be
in
line
with
that
recommendation
from
the
comprehensive
plan.
This
is
an
aerial
image
of
the
subject:
property
online
street
and
another
aerial
image.
You
see
some
commercial
buildings
over
towards
the
corner
of
cummings
street
as
well,
and
this
structure
itself
is
a
commercial
structure
was
built
as
a
commercial
as
a
built
as
a
commercial
structure.
M
M
But
the
planning
commission
recommended
that
it
be
zoned
just
the
footprint
of
the
building,
which
is
really
the
width
of
the
lot,
and
it
comes
all
the
way
up
to
line
street.
It's
about
a
little
bit
more
than
half
of
a
lot,
but
they
had
concerns
about
the
unbuilt
on
portion
of
the
lot,
possibly
having
other
commercial
uses.
That
could
include
short-term
rentals.
That
was
a
also
a
request
from
the
neighborhood,
so
planning
commission
removed
recommended
zoning.
Just
the
building
footprint
only
by
a
six
to
zero
vote.
Q
Q
N
Anthony
g
bryant
special
procedure
act,
ministry
procedure,
act,
title
one
administration
and
government.
I
had
a
lease
at
that
property
years
ago.
I
made
a
request
from
you
regarding
the
public
safety
committee.
With
a
for
your
last
meeting
regarding
100
live
stream.
It
was
a
crippled
discovery
on
me
all
right.
I
sent
a
foil
request
to
mark
heal
this
week
as
a
former
bza
member
he's
got
it
right
now
in
terms
of
the
city
of
charleston
criminally
discovering
on
anthony
g
bryant,
a
business
licensed
person.
N
D
M
M
A
J
F
I
Q
The
rules
I
just,
I
think
we
should
rezone
it
completely,
not
just
part
of
it,
so
I
heard
councilmember
pelt
pointed
out
the
split
zoning.
I
just
think
that
just
creates
some
challenges
for
the
neighborhood.
I
think
it
it's
going
to
be
a
good
use,
so
I
just
want
my
no
vote
to
be
reflective
that
I'm
not
in
favor
of
this
moving
forward.
I
just
think
we
should
rezone
the
whole
whole
parcel.
M
Sir,
this
is
in
west
ashley,
a
recent
annexation.
It
is
1939
piper
drive
and
the
request
is
to
bring
it
into
the
city
for
single-family
sr1
zoning,
which
matches
the
other
zoning
of
parcels
in
that
neighborhood
that
have
been
annexed
into
the
city,
and
we
just
have
a
couple
images
of
it.
It's
in
our
suburban
edge
recommendations,
sr1
works
there
and
here's
an
aerial
image
of
the
property
and
the
street
view
and
planning
commission
recommended
7-0
in
favor
of
sr1.
N
Anthony
g

procedure
act
south
carolina,
the
title
one
administration
and
the
government
again:
20
30,
20,
20
census.
You
hadn't
finished
it
yet
2030
is
coming
up.
We
need
to
know
with
these
annexations
how's.
It
impacted
the
community
since
we're
race,
neutral,
okay,
we're
race
neutral
in
charleston,
so
those
who
are
individuals
have
to
defend
their
own
art
on
issue
race
because
the
council's
race
neutral.
So,
therefore,
you
got
to
be
about
your
business
and
raise
conscious
politics.
A
A
N
Not
happy
to
be
here
at
all,
I'm
the
person
who
did
the
public
comment
on
chief
madrica,
mary,
gordon
baker
and
a
human
trafficking
case.
She
did
where
a
homeland
security
director
avoided
arresting
somebody
and
not
get
a
federal
warrant.
I
was
there.
I
bear
witness
to
what
happened
with
that
and
the
fbi.
Looking
into
black
people
like
the
animals
in
here,
marcus
garvey
in
1925,
was
arrested
and
trumped
up
charges
by
j
edgar
hoover
and
in
fallout
was
w.e.b
the
boys
in
the
naacp.
N
N
J
I
E
Mayor
council,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak,
I'm
here
representing
second
presbyterian
church,
but
in
order
to
fulfill
the
requirements
I
want.
You
know,
I'm
a
citizen
of
the
city
of
charleston.
I
live
at
929,
parrot,
creek
way,
I'm
here
for
second
presbyterian
church
in
a
couple
of
capacities.
First
off
I'm
treasurer.
E
E
Don't
because
there's
an
overgrown
city
park
in
front
of
the
church,
so
it's
hard
to
see
only
90
seconds.
Oh
I'm
sorry,
yeah,
all
right
I'll
start
over.
Can
we
start
the
clock
over
the
the
the
church
1809
church
completed
1811
as
historic
as
any
church.
Any
structure
in
this
community
can
be.
There
is
a
there
is
an
adjacent
wall
that
runs
down
charlotte
street,
that
that
holds
the
earth
of
the
graveyard
in
place.
E
E
The
wall
is
failing,
the
wall
has
been
failing
for
many
years.
It's
continuing
to
fail,
so
I'm
here,
because
because
I
understand
and
that
that
there
is
some
some
potential
agreement
between
the
city
of
charleston
and
the
adjacent
property
owner
and
it
it
may
help
to
find
the
funds
necessary
to
repair
this
wall.
B
E
I
I
just
want
you
to
know
that,
as
as
a
concerned
citizen
as
as
a
as
a
member
of
the
session,
and
particularly
as
a
treasurer,
knowing
a
church
that
cannot
afford
to
repair
this
wall,
we're
very
happy
that
the
city
is
working
on
this
on
this
this
this
this
this
agreement
and-
and
we
hope
that
the
agreement
goes
through-
we're
very
happy
that
we
are
that
we
will
see
the
city
using
their
expertise
and
resources
to
resolve
this
public
safety
hazard.
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
sir.
H

J
J
I
was
a
member
of
the
hotel
opening
team
and
present
during
the
construction,
seeing
the
vision
come
to
reality
for
after
half
for
over
half
of
the
dukeberry's
existence,
I
have
been
the
general
manager
and
I'm
responsible
for
the
entire
business,
as
well
as
the
operations
one
of
the
top
priorities.
As
a
leader
of
the
hotel
is
to
protect
our
city
and
being
a
good
neighbor.
I
have
made
a
commitment
to
be
involved
whether
it's
the
college
of
charleston,
the
charleston,
cbp,
multiple
non-profits
and,
of
course,
our
neighborhood
homeowners
association.
J
The
dewberry
is
the
only
business
out
of
many
that
is
active
in
our
own
neighborhoods
community
association.
In
fact,
we're
the
only
business
who's
attended
the
meetings
over
the
last
year,
the
community
in
which
we
reside
has
always
been
important
to
us.
Over
the
years.
The
hotel
has
participated
with
multiple.
J
J
Evening
mayor
city
of
council,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
My
name
is
alyssa
smith.
I
am
the
interim
executive
director
at
charleston
wine
and
food.
I
wanted
to
address
the
committee
today,
as
we
were
a
heated
discussion
in
the
ways
and
means
committee,
as
well
as
the
a
tax
committee
a
couple
of
weeks
prior
and
addressed
the
conversation
as
it
relates
to
the
festival
moving
to
north
charleston,
the
culinary
village
did
relocate
to
north
charleston.
J
J
What
I
wanted
to
assure
you
all
of
is
that
charleston
wine
and
food
is
dedicated
to
the
city.
There
was
conversation
about
us
riding
the
coattails
of
charleston's
brand,
and
I
wanted
to
reiterate
that
the
founding
of
this
nonprofit
was
to
serve
charleston's
culinary
brand.
It
was
to
promote,
educate
and
uplift
this
community,
and
I
do
not
think
that
there
can
be
a
naysayer
to
say
that
the
festivals
had
a
positive
impact
on
the
culinary
brand
of
charleston.
J
We
continue
to
bring
national
media
attention
to
the
city.
The
today
show
good
morning
america,
the
washington
post
year
after
year,
and
have
been
that
reinvested
millions
of
dollars
in
economic
impact
for
the
city
over
88
of
our
attendees
this
year.
For
the
2022
festival
said
their
sole
reason
of
visiting
for
charleston
was
for
this
festival.
H
Hi
again,
my
name
is
caroline
frady
at
levette.
23
ashton
street.
To
destroy
this
community
of
gatson
creek
is
to
confirm
the
now
long-standing
belief
among
this
community
that
the
city
will
continue
to
take
and
take
from
them.
We
can
and
must
change
the
situation
to
care
for
gadson
creek.
One
of
the
oldest
living
systems
on
the
peninsula
of
charleston
is
to
restore
a
place
that
was
profoundly
sacred
to
the
golagici
culture.
H
H
Hello,
my
name
is
mckenna
stewart
and
I
live
at
1747
orange
grove
shores
drive
in
may
of
2020.
Our
country
watched
the
horrific
murder
of
george
floyd
a
short
two
months
later.
This
council
voted
to
move
forward
with
the
filling
of
gadsden
creek
in
the
months
that
followed
our
country
for
what
feels
like
the
first
time
began
to
truly
reckon
with
its
past
actions
of
harmed
black
and
brown
communities.
H
We
can't
help
but
hope
that
had
this
decision
to
fill
gaston
creek
to
continue
to
take
from
a
community
who
has
already
lost
so
much
the
hands
of
the
city
come
before
this
council
a
mere
two
years
after
george
floyd's
murder,
that
a
different
decision
would
have
would
be
made.
While
we
recognize
that
this
decision
is
currently
in
litigation,
no
matter
what
happens,
the
city
owns
the
creek
and
therefore
has
control
over
what
happens
to
it.
H
S
A
J
Hi
good
evening,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
and
I
want
to
talk
about
ansenberg
park
and
no
smoke.
Now
y'all
pass
this
ordinance
to
no
smoking
in
the
park.
Y'all
put
a
yard
sign,
saying
no
smoking.
One
wound
up
in
the
elevator
of
the
complex
that
I
live
in,
for
whatever
reason
you
also
have
a
note.
It
is
first
of
all
you
got
to
understand.
It
is
the
park
and
restaurant
soccer
fee.
J
Given
the
rules,
because
the
signs
that's
been
put
up,
there
are
outdated
now
when
the
soccer
play
children
are
out
there
and
they
have
a
game
on
saturday.
The
parking
ratification
comes
in
line
signs
all
up
about.
You
can't
have
a
dog
on
the
field.
Your
dog's
got
to
be
loosed,
you
know
whatever
they
can't
be
on
the
feet.
Now.
We've
had
an
incident
of
where
a
lady
and
her
dog
got
attacked
by
two
larger
dogs.
Her
dog
was
a
little
toy
dog
and
all
traumatized
them.
J
B
J
K
That's
a
hard
one
to
follow.
Mr
mayor
members,
council,
my
name
is
toronto.
Walker,
I'm
an
attorney
66
hazel
street.
I'm
here
to
ask
you
to
seriously
consider
the
settlement
proposal
put
forward
by
the
dewberry.
I've
been
with
this
eighth
floor
litigation,
every
step
of
the
way
for
five
years,
and
one
of
the
things
the
last
four
years
has
shown
is
that
the
dewberry
eighth
floor
is
not
a
noise
problem
to
the
neighborhood.
K
Thank
goodness,
one
of
the
things
that
I
do
whenever
I
meet
with
a
client
is
saying
what
is
your
goal
and
I
don't
think
the
goal
here
of
the
city
is
to
close
down
the
eighth
floor.
I
think
there
are
other
goals
and
their
common
goals,
and
here
we
see
a
good
opportunity
to
work
together
to
come
up
with
a
solution
and
particularly
the
one
that
mr
smith
spoke
to.
If
it's
proving
a
point
as
a
goal,
the
court
of
appeals
opinion
will
still
be
controlling.
K
One
thing
I
want
to
make
clear
is
that
we
are
going
to
be
working
over
the
next
several
weeks
with
mr
smith
at
the
church
to
work
out
the
details
of
the
repairs
to
scope,
the
specifications
and
the
timeline
so
that
they
will
be
tended
to
and
there'll
be
some
certainty,
because
I
know
that
there
was
a
question
about
that.
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
there
is
no
heart
agreement.
K
A
S
And
I'm,
although
I'm
the
pastor
of
the
church,
I'm
here
as
an
individual,
you
know
who
is
a
cross.
Who
is
there
at
the
church
all
day
long
we're
talking
about
in
case
you
don't
know
it's
a
historic
wall
that
is
about
to
fail,
and
it
seems
as
though,
with
the
discussions
that
are
going
on
now
with
the
city
and
with
the
dewberry
hotel.
There
may
be
an
opportunity
for
this
to
be
fixed
for
over
10
years.
S
J
J
I
remember
when
the
plans,
the
original
plans
for
gabson
I
mean
for
west
hedge
development
were
introduced
at
a
meeting
when
we
held
them
at
burke,
high
school
library,
and
it
was
pictured
showing
a
beautiful
green
space
of
gaston
creek
as
a
park
sketch
with
people
reading
a
book
or
just
enjoying
the
serenity
of
the
creek
and
its
environment.
So
have
some
questions
I
heard
there
was
a
second
reading
that
passed
on
destroying
gadsden
creek.
When
was
the
first
reading
held
and
voted?
J
Why
wasn't
I
informed
and
not
or
notified
of
an
interview
about
gaston
creek
conducted
by
journalist,
brian
hicks,
featuring
arthur
lawrence
and
councilman
gregory
published
april
6
2022,
our
neighborhood
presidents,
ignored
in
their
position
of
leaderships
are
less
be
real.
Are
women
presidents,
as
leaders
in
neighborhood
association
ignored
mr
mayor
and
mr
mayor
teckenberg?
When
are
you
going
to
set
your
sights
on
beautifying
green
space
and
recognize
that
gas
and
creek
can
be
used
as
an
asset
as
a
teaching
mechanism
for
teachers
to
train
our
children
to
learn.
J
Good
evening,
mr
mayor
and
council,
I
want
to
congratulate
the
council
members.
That
said,
let's
wait
on
frasier
elementary
school
by
that
park.
I'm
gonna.
Take
you
back
to
the
50s
mitchell
park
had
a
wide
fence
before
they
took
it
down,
and
then
they
built
a
cement
wall
around
mitchell
park
with
black
fencing
around
and
it's
partly
in
the
daytime
as
a
dog
park,
but
now
be
careful
when
you
sign
this
agreement
with
the
school
district,
I'm
going
to
digress
right
now.
J
J
B
J
K
K
Per
day
traffic
on
a
fairway
265,
that's
where
your
buddy
finnegan
lives,
oh
by
the
way,
I'm
glad
you've
had
it
with
me.
I
love
that
email.
Now,
let's
talk
about
speeders.
How
many
speeders
came
up
in
that
that
survey
for
a
fairway
three
did
any
of
them
go
over
30
miles
an
hour?
Absolutely
not
how
many
cars
speed
by
my
house
every
single
day,
41.
K
we're
starting
to
get
some
big
numbers
mayor,
because
you
said
last
time:
these
are
not
big
numbers:
1469
cars
versus
265.!
That's
what
I've
got
if
you
want
to
look
at
a
monthly
total.
Let's
just
look
how
many
cars!
A
month
I
have
39
776
cars
go
by
my
house
and
that's
taking
out
when
the
school
is
not
in
session.
Fairway
drive,
7950.,
39,
776
versus
7950,
and
why?
Because
the
roads
were
closed
illegally?
Mr
seekings,
you
asked
was
the
court
order
to
for
given
by
council.
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
mary
koster.
I
am
a
native
charlestonian.
I've
been
a
science
teacher
for
30
years,
I'm
a
founding
member
of
the
friends
of
gaston
creek
by
training.
I
am
a
science
literacy
and
environmental
science
specialist,
with
a
focus
on
storm
water
management,
water
quality
issues
and
community
hazard
risk
mitigation.
J
I'm
here
today
to
speak
for
the
amazing
children
and
youth
attending
the
k-12
schools
in
the
gadsden
creek
watershed.
The
youngest
students
in
this
community
can
tell
you
about
the
beautiful
animals
living
in
their
salt
marsh.
They
take
field
trips
there
and
help
pick
up
the
litter
they
find
there
too.
J
Older
students
know
that
gadsden
creek
is
supposed
to
be
protected
from
development
by
the
clean
water
act.
They
know
that
phil
and
bill
development
on
charleston's
tidal
wetlands
has
only
ever
led
to
worse
flooding
in
their
community
and
elsewhere.
They
can
speak
with
authority
as
eco-literate
citizens,
studies
by
the
american
public
health
association
and
others
document
the
many
positive
impacts
of
nature
contact
for
the
physical,
mental
and
social
well-being
of
children
and
youth.
J
D
Okay,
thank
you
good
evening,
members
of
council
and
mayor.
You
have
a
number
of
items
on
your
agenda
this
evening
that
are
important
touching
in
areas
of
racial
and
economic
justice.
I
urge
you
to
adopt
the
ordinances
and
resolutions
concerning
affordable
and
fair
housing,
as
well
as
the
pinkney
hate
crime
legislation.
D
I
want
to
note
that
the
adoption
of
ordinances
and
resolutions
are
only
performative
unless
you
take
action.
I
know
what
can
some
some
concerns
that
you
have
yes
to
appoint
the
heart
commission,
even
though
the
ordinance
was
approved
two
months
ago.
In
addition,
I'm
concerned
that
critical
positions
such
as
the
director
of
procedural
justice
in
charleston
police
department
has
been
vacant
for
six
months
and,
in
addition,
we're
losing
the
director
of
the
office
of
equity,
inclusion
and
reconciliation,
which
has
now
been
renamed
to
the
manager
of
human
affairs
and
racial
conciliation.
D
I
point
to
I
point
this
out
to
you,
because
there
appears
to
be
a
trend
that
we're
losing
talented
individuals
who
happen
to
be
women,
and
I'm
wondering
whether
or
not
you
need
to
examine
this
trend
to
see
if
it
has
something
to
do
with
resistance
to
change.
That's
so
necessary
that
this
council
has
commit
voted
consistently
to
be
committed
to.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
the
update
on
the
appointment
of
the
commission
and
I
wish
amber
johnson
well
and
thank
her
for
her
service.
Thank
you.
Members.
J
N
N
Water
has
always
been
a
significant
part
of
the
stories
of
the
old
testament
and
the
new
testament,
for
example,
in
the
story
of
noah.
God
used
water
to
clean
the
world.
Moses's
mother
joshua
bid
saved
her
son
by
fastening
a
basket
and
floating
him
down
a
river
to
be
picked
up
and
cared
for
and
later
moses
would
lead
the
people
of
israel
across
the
jordan
river.
Excuse
me,
the
river,
the
red
sea
and
then
save
them
from
their
egyptian
captors
in
the
new
testament.
N
N
In
a
sense,
the
waters
of
gaston
creek
are
no
different
from
the
great
healing
waters
of
the
christian
in
hebrew
scripture,
in
the
same
way
that
god
used
water
in
scripture.
God
also
used
the
waters
of
gaston
creek
as
places
for
baptism
fellowship
sustenance
and
healing
for
many
weary
and
worn
souls
in
our
city.
F
B
They
said
that
white
point
gardens
and
the
batteries
should
be
protected
from
racists
and
encourage
the
city
to
promote
equity.
There
is
no
affordable
housing
and
they
also
complain
that
the
drainage
system
and
education
system
were
poor.
One
person
was
in
support
of
the
resolution
from
city
council
urging
the
south
carolina
legislature
to
pass
the
hate
crime
bill,
which
she
said
was
very
close
to
passage
at
the
end
of
the
2021
session.
B
The
city
had
passed
a
similar
resolution
before
and
they
were
joined
by
the
city
and
it
was
joined
by
the
city's
commission
on
women,
jewish
federation
naacp,
afsa
ywca
and
many
groups
who
were
chagrined
that
south
carolina
was
the
last
state
to
adopt
such
a
law.
She
named
council
member
waring
and
his
colleagues
for
sending
the
resolution
in
a
timely
manner
and
said
it
wasn't
too
late
for
the
state's
legislature
legislators
to
make
good
on
their
promise.
And
those
are
all
the
comments
that
we
received.
A
So
next
up
is
our
petitions
and
communications,
and
one
communication
not
on
here
that
maybe
you've
heard,
is
one
of
our
employees,
which
will
be
leaving
us
soon
to
take
another
job
of
employed
back
in
florida
where
she
went
to
law
school
and
that's
amber
johnson
and
I
told
amber
when
she
let
me
know
I
was
happy
for
her
that
in
in
the
sense
that
hopefully
this
is
a
good
step
for
her
career.
But
we
were
very
sad
to
see
her
leave
the
city.
F
F
F
But
amber
was
always
that
rock
that
person
who
kept
us
focused
on
our
purpose,
and
for
that
I
will
forever
be
thankful
for
being
a
part
of
what
I
think
historically
will
make
our
city
a
better
place
so
again
publicly.
I
want
to
just
thank
you
amber
and
you
definitely
will
be
missed
and
I
hope
we
can
find
someone
with
the
same
qualities
and
skills
and
expertise
that
you
brought
to
the
table.
F
D
Just
briefly,
it's
tough
to
come
after
councilman
gregory
with
comments,
I'm
not
as
articulate
and
well
poised,
but
I
do
want
to
say
amber
the
definition
of
public
servant.
Is
you
and
councilman?
Gregory
is
absolutely
right,
you're
not
out
front
leading
you're
really
leading
from
behind,
and
I
just
want
to
say
from
a
personal
standpoint.
You've
taught
me
a
lot
and
I've
learned
a
lot
as
a
council.
B
D
As
a
as
a
man
as
as
someone
in
this
community,
that's
trying
to
do
good
our
conversations
as
councilman
gregory
said,
were
oftentimes
real
and
I
was
able
to
be
vulnerable
and
you
were
able
to
vulnerable,
and
I
really
appreciate
you
appreciate
that,
and
I
know
you're
going
to
do
great
things
if
you
ever
want
to
come
back
we're
here,
but
we
appreciate
everything
you
did
for
us
and
the
city.
So
thank
you
amber
all
right.
Thank
you.
A
It's
last
call
here
I
wanted
appointed
councilmember
wearing
and
no
one
else
volunteered
for
the
council
member
position
on
the
history
commission.
Anybody
interested
you're
already
on
I
needed
one
more
and
I
didn't
have
any
volunteers.
Everybody
was
so
busy,
so
I
did
volunteer
myself,
but
but
going
going
once.
A
A
H
A
A
Right
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
post
the
eyes.
Have
it
you've
got
it?
No,
you
really
enjoy
it.
I
I
must
say
in
addition
to
helping
people,
I've
really
enjoyed
learning
more
of
our
city's
history.
As
mayor
you,
you
learn
a
lot
as
council
members
and
as
mayor
we've
got
such
a
fascinating
city.
It's
amazing
you'll
enjoy
it
a
lot.
Thank
you
for
doing
that.
All
right
next
up
is
an
update
on
the
sumar
street
development.
A
Eric
pohlmann,
our
west
ashley
projects
manager
is
leading
with
jason,
ward
and
jonathan
oakman
there,
with
landmark
enterprises
and
our
partner,
and
I
see
I
think,
dinos
leolio
is
here
a
famous
architect
of
west
ashley
and
charlton
is
andy
with
you
tonight
as
well.
Oh
there
he
is
andy
clark,
also
with
leo
leo
eric.
Take
it
away.
P
All
right,
thank
you,
council,
for
having
us
here
tonight
to
provide
this
update.
This
is
a
project
that
has
been
ongoing
since
about
2017.
We
started
when
the
city
purchased
the
piggly
wiggly
site
in
the
sumar
street
old
town,
sam
rittenberg
area.
Prior
to
that
piggly
wiggly
had
been
closed
for
about
another
two
years.
P
P
P
P
P
They
also
wanted
to
see
the
traffic
flow
around
there
improved.
They
wanted
the
development
of
it
to
be
more
of
a
mixed
use
or
traditional
neighborhood
space,
something
that
had
green
space
within
it
that
families
could
go
to.
They
also
wanted
to
see
civic
and
cultural
improvements
in
the
area.
Specifically,
one
that
came
up
quite
a
bit
was
a
request
for
a
wooden
dance
floor
for
dance
events.
P
There
were
a
few
people
that
said
pure
residential
would
be
okay,
but
in
general,
what
people
wanted
was
it
to
be
family,
safe,
beautiful,
with
parks,
green
space,
something
that
could
host
events
as
well
as
a
lot
of
it
was
fix.
The
merge
out
of
this.
We
distilled
the
program
that
we
went
forward
with,
and
so
what
we
decided
from
all
the
input
was
to
have
a
passive
park:
small
scale,
retail,
restaurant,
commercial,
civic
and
cultural
with
allen.
Davis.
P
So,
over
the
course
of
the
next
about
nine
months
to
a
year,
we
probably
did
six
to
seven
different
iterations,
where
we
showed
how
the
program
could
continually
fit
inside
the
parcel
about
november
of
2019,
it
came
out
that
the
county
decided
to
have
a
no
build
option
and
they
were
going
to
go
back
and
instead
focus
on
bicycle
and
pedestrian
improvements
in
the
area,
along
with
some
other
traffic
calming
measures.
So
we
came
to
you
for
an
rfq.
P
P
P
P
During
the
course
of
covid,
we
did
re,
reassess
the
overall
rfq
response,
so
this
was
their
original
idea
at
the
start
of
covid
and
what
we
ended
up
changing
by
the
time
we
got
to
a
memorandum
of
understanding
was
reducing
it
by
ten
thousand
square
feet
overall
and
shifting
some
of
that
market
and
restaurant
around
to
make
the
project
more
sustainable
and
more
attainable
for
our
private
sector
development
partners.
The
civic
space
and
office
space
have
remained
the
same
square
footages,
and
this
is
where
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
jason
ward.
D
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
council
members.
Thank
you
city,
I'm.
My
name
is
jason
ward.
I'm
president
of
landmark
enterprises.
We
are
the
selected
developer
on
this
fine
project
for
the
city.
I'd
like
to
just
start
by.
You
know
thanking
everybody
for
the
collaboration,
thanking
everybody
for
the
opportunity.
D
You
know
we
we've
been
working
really
hard
on
this
project,
even
though
it's
been
a
long
time
coming.
I
promise
you
this.
This
project
is
an
opera,
a
fantastic
opportunity
for
the
residents
of
west
ashley.
We're
not
taking
this
slightly,
and
we
feel
like
that.
You
know
this
is
this:
is
a
community
amenity?
It's
how
we're
looking
at
this?
It's
a
gathering
place
it's
something
for
everyone.
D
Art
shows
farmer's
market,
you
know
chili
cook-offs,
you
you
have
it
we'll
we'll
have
it,
and
so,
if
you
want
it,
we
can
do
it,
and
so
you
know
bring
the
community
together
and
you
know-
and
that's
really
where,
where
what
we're
excited
about
with
this
opportunity
and
and
pulling
this
project
together
with
the
city
and
for
the
city.
With
that
we've
we've,
we
have
a
brilliant
team
of
folks
working
on
this
project.
The
vice
president
development
is
with
us
jonathan
oakman.
D
He
is
working
on
this
project
day
and
night
and
weekend
seven
days
a
week
and
our
brilliant
architecture
team,
which
is
dns,
leolio,
andy
clark
and
tom
wales,
and
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
them
because
they
have
some
really
really.
I
think
interesting,
powerful,
slides
to
show
you
about
our
progress
and
our
project.
So
with
that
I'll
introduce
deanus.
S
Good
evening,
mr
mayor
members
of
city
council,
thank
you
again
so
much
for
letting
us
be
here.
Numerous
community
meetings
have
been
held
as
eric
had
shared.
Four
main
items
came
out
of
those
discussions,
the
need
and
desire
for
city,
civic
lawn
rooftop
access,
as
well
as
outdoor
dining
and
pedestrian
friendly.
I'm
gonna
skip
through
a
lot
of
these
slides
to
get
to
the
heart
of
the
issue,
but
let
me
start
with
the
site
plan
a
triangular
site.
S
Item
six
is
the
civic
lawn,
which
is
central
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
buildings
began
to
form
an
acoustical
barrier,
so
the
noise
from
old
town
and
sam
rittenberger
are
muffled
to
the
great
extent
of
restaurants
and
retail,
surround
the
civic
lawn
with
offices
nailing
down
the
southern
portion.
There
are
sunken
gardens
actually,
within
the
context
of
sam
rittenberg,
we
have
incorporated
public
transportation
as
a
stop
as
well
to
help
facilitate
the
parking
needs.
We
have
a
subterranean
parking
area
in
order
to
get
our
240
spaces
by
zoning.
S
The
subterranean
does
two
things
for
us
number
one.
It
allows
us
to
accomplish
the
number
of
parking
spaces
we
need
and,
most
importantly,
two,
it
allows
us
to
address
the
dutch
dialogue
criteria
that
we've
been
discussing
throughout
the
city
with
regards
to
the
ability,
even
at
this
high
point
of
land,
to
collect
water
in
a
high
water,
rain
event
and
appropriately
disseminate
it
as
time
allows
in
an
appropriate
manner
without
flooding
the
areas
around.
S
The
whole
idea
is
transparency
in
all
the
buildings
and
the
studies
that
we
did
as
it
relates
to
the
ongoing
evolution
of
the
design,
and
then
we
finally
got
into
some
of
the
dialogue
as
it
relates
to
how
these
buildings
may
begin
to
relate
themselves.
As
you
come
into
the
west
ashley
area.
As
a
welcoming
to
the
city
into
the
historic
area
of
charleston
with
the
office
building,
we've
even
torn
away
portions
of
the
main
entry
here
so
that
we
we
reflect
the
significance
of
this
elevation.
We're
studying
other
elements
as
well.
S
R
So
we
went
through
a
variety
of
ways
to
address
a
suicide
merge.
The
sandhorse
neighborhood
did
not
like
option
number
one
and
we
went
to
option
number
two
and
the
northbridge
neighborhood
did
not
like
that
option.
So
we
are
now
looking
at
this
process
that
eric
had
mentioned
to
us
very
briefly,
which
is
going
to
calm
the
traffic
down.
Add
connectivity
to
these
major
intersections
of
sumar
street
amberly
dickenson
donahue
and
provide
what
the
community
has
been
asking
for,
which
is
connectivity
to
this
area.
R
The
project
that
venus
and
jason
and
jonathan
went
through
very
quickly
will
provide
us
with
a
opportunity
for
the
very
first
time
for
the
very
first
time
in
the
history
of
west
ashley,
a
civic
center.
That
is
not
a
tennis
court,
a
playground
or
a
fire
station.
The
city
of
charleston,
which
is
the
birthplace
of
this
community,
is
going
to
put
its
flag
there
and
that's
just
an
important
statement
to
the
city's
commitment
to
what
we
value
of
west
ashley
and
that's.
R
Actually,
we're
not
meeting
that
to
george
street
we're
meeting
in
west
ashley
with
these
issues
that
are
important
to
the
community
to
all
of
wes,
ashley
and
james
island
has
a
home
where
they
can.
They
meet
we're
going
to
maybe
pluck
eric
out
of
two
george
street
and
bring
him
over
to
to
the
center
as
well.
But
it
is
finally
a
testament
to
the
commitment
that
the
city
is
trying
to
make
to
the
citizens
of
west
ashley.
So
here's
our
opportunity
to
do
that.
R
R
This
area-
and
I
apologize
I've-
been
begging
him
for
the
past
several
years
about
this
and
jonathan
and
jason
and,
of
course,
dinos
for
the
their
vision
on
what
this
can
be
and
looking
forward
to
more
citizen
input
and
community
reaction
to
this,
our
first
design
review
board
meeting
addresses
will
be
in
may,
so
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
team
for
their
help.
They
put
up
with
me.
I've
been
fussing
and
yelling
and
stopping
my
feet
on
this
project,
but
we're
finally
getting
to
that.
To
that
point.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
P
S
I
F
A
Councilmember
seeking
okay,
so
our
update
on
on
covet
19
is
simply
to
tell
you
that
we
do
have
two
active
cases
right
now:
city,
employees
and
three
folks
that
are
quarantined
just
waiting
for
a
test.
So
we
we
are
starting
last
two
or
three
meetings.
We've
reported
zero
cases
to
you
we're
seeing
some
cases.
I
think,
there's
uptick
in
the
country
again
we're
keeping
our
eye
on
it.
That's
all
we
have
to
report
at
this
time.
A
So
next
up
is
our
council
communications,
a
resolution
supporting
and
encouraging
the
passage
of
the
clementi
pinckney
hate
crimes
bill
that
this
council
is
on
record
of
supporting
in
times
past.
But,
given
that
it's
on
the
verge,
we
hope
a
passage.
We
wanted
to
renew
that
commitment.
Council,
member
waring.
I
I
There
are
nine
eight
senators
right
now,
that's
preventing
it
from
coming
to
the
floor
to
even
be
voted
on.
That's
what
this
is
about.
If
there's
a
city
in
south
carolina,
if
not
the
nation
that
can
speak
directly
to
hate
coming
to
visit,
it
is
charleston.
South
carolina,
oklahoma
city
can
certainly
attest
to
that.
The
people
at
sandy
brook
can
attest
to
that,
and
sometimes
we
get
moving
on
as
business
as
usual.
I
I
know
the
hearts
and
where
the
spirit
is
with
me
and
council
on
this,
so
I
know
I'm
preaching
to
the
choir,
but
if
anybody
has
any
contacts,
the
48
states
in
the
union
have
passed
this
by
the
way.
Only
two
states
have
not
passed
hate
crime,
legislation
at
wyoming
and
the
great
state
of
south
carolina-
and
I
dare
say
our
state
is
better
than
that.
I
Some
of
the
areas
that
these
senators
represent,
I
think
they'd,
have
a
different
opinion
on
it
and
I
think
the
politics
will
move
out
of
the
way
and
wright
prevail.
So
thank
you
for
your
consideration
on
this,
and
especially
our
clerk,
a
council
who
had
several
tribes
but
but
got
it
on,
and
our
legal
staff
got
this
out
in
such
a
quick
order
for
our
consideration
this
afternoon.
Thank
you,
great
councilmember,.
R
Shade,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
morgan
for
bringing
this
back
up.
We
did
pass
a
resolution
to
get
this
passed
several
years
ago
and
we
shouldn't
overlook
that.
We
passed
our
own
city
ordinance,
dealing
with
hate
crime
as
as
well,
and
it's
just
unconscionable
that
the
state
does
not
have
a
hate
crime
bill
and
whatever
we
can
do
on
our
part
to
encourage
to
enforce
to
strong
arm
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
get
this.
This
thing
passed
we
need
to.
We
need
to
do
that.
R
It
is
far
too
long
and
for
as
councilmember
you
just
said.
If,
if
anybody
can
test
to
hate
and
experience
hate
in
this
community,
it's
the
city
of
charleston,
unfortunately,
that's
a
mark,
we
don't
want
to
carry
along,
but
it
is
reality
and
we
need
to
get
this
hate
crime
bill
passed.
We
need
to
get
it
passed
this
year.
A
Thank
you
anyone
else.
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
the
two
original
primary
sponsors
of
the
bill
on
the
house
side
was
representative
wendell
gilliard,
who
used
to
sit
in
one
of
those
chairs
right.
There
was
a
member
of
city,
council
and
and
and
and
also
our
representative,
birth,
beth
bernstein
from
columbia,
so
shout
out
to
them.
They
they
been
carrying
this
water
for
a
long
time.
Any
further
discussion
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
A
O
Community
ballot
committee
meeting
was
held
on
april
21st
at
3
p.m,
and
no
normally,
I
used
to
have
a
start
meeting,
but
this
wasn't
a
short
meeting.
This
was
a
three-hour
meeting
and
we
have
had
a
lot
of
things
on
the
gender
and
we
had
a
lot
of
discussions
on
a
lot
of
these
items.
I'm
going
to
name
on
the
agenda
on
on
the
21st.
O
First,
we
had
an
update
on
the
homeless
strategy.
It
was
electronic
presentation
and
we
had
a
lot
of
information
on
that
and
discussion
on
that
particular
one.
We
also
had
a
review
of
affordable
housing
dashboard
that
was
shown
to
us,
and
anyone
want
to
look
at.
They
can
go
online
and
take
a
look
at
that
also,
and
we
number
three-
we
had
certification
of
abandoned
building
site,
which
was
one
one
of
11.5
phillips
street
that
was
approved
and
number
four
requests
for
additional
trip
funding
for
the
low
line,
housing
that
was
also
approved.
O
Then
we
had
this
a
very
big
discussion
on
the
main
chapter
54
of
the
code
of
city
of
charleston
zoning
ordinance,
and
it
was
a
very
long
discussion
on
that
particular
one.
Also-
and
that
was
also
approved
and
sent
to
full
council,
then
we
have
we
had
an
ordinance
to
repeal
and
replace
chapter
16
of
the
human
relation
and
the
fair
housing
practice
of
the
city
of
charleston
for
the
ordinance
requested
by
councilman,
william
gregory,
that
took
a
long
long
time.
O
It
was
a
lot
of
question
asked
about
that,
but
I'm
asking
that
we
have
that
one
approved
with
the
amendments
and
I'm
going
to
ask
our
attorney
to
come
and
explain
the
amendments
on
that
particular
item.
But
could
we
go
and
approve
those
other
items
in
the
meantime,
I'll
move
her
approval
for
those
items
and
wait.
Wait
till
she
finished
with
the
with
the
amendment.
So
far
as
explaining
the
amendments
to
everyone
on
the
farehouse.
A
O
A
I
Right,
I
just
want
to
say
councilman
mitchell's
right.
It
was
a
long
meeting,
but
I'm
gonna
tell
you.
We
got
a
lot
of
good
work
done
in
this,
in
particular
on
the
micro
units
everybody's
on
the
same
page,
but
I
think
I'd
like
to
thank
mr
roberts
because
he
certainly
contributed.
He
was
another
member
of
the
committee
almost
but
anyway
contributing
some
very
good
ideas
that
will
make
leases
going
forward
in
that
area
and
parking,
hopefully,
and
enforcement
that
councilman
ross
was
very
serious
about.
I
A
And,
and
for
my
own
edification,
but
maybe
also
for
those
that
might
be
watching
on
youtube,
could
could
someone
maybe
gianna
or
a
legal
explain
of
little
number
five
with
the
with
the
parking
adjustments
for
for
affordable
housing
and
also
for
the
accessory
dwelling
units?
What
what
we're
proving
tonight,
what
it
means
for
everyday
folk.
E
So,
mr
mayor
members,
council,
so
the
micro
as
we've
been
calling
it
the
micro
unit,
ordinance
honestly
for
everyday
folks.
It
won't
change
anything
for
developers
who
want
to
develop
in
that
unique
style
and
meet
the
criteria.
That's
established
in
the
ordinance.
They
will
be
able
to
have
a
lower
parking
standard
than
they.
Otherwise,
if
they
were
building
multi-family
elsewhere
in
the
city.
So
if
they
meet
those
criteria,
they'll
be
able
to
build
less
parking
as
a
part
of
their
overall
building
for
the
affordable,
the
accessory
dwelling
unit.
E
What
this
means
now
is
that
if
you
finance
your
entire
affordable
housing
or
your
entire
accessory
dwelling
unit,
you
won't
have
a
affordability
period
by
by
the
code,
but
again
more
often
than
not.
These
are
naturally
occurring.
Affordable
dwelling
units.
You
just
can't
demand
the
kind
of
rent
that
you
can
for
a
luxury
apartment
for
a
350
square
foot
converted
garage,
so
the
reality
is
they
will
become
affordable,
housing
kind
of
naturally.
J
B
C
Yes,
mr
mayor,
thank
you
yeah
we're
gonna,
let
freedom
reign
with
adus
city-wide
in
the
city
of
charleston.
My
question
was
regarding
the
adu
ordinance,
we're
giving
these
amendments
first
reading
this
evening
and
then
we'll
have
second
and
third
reading,
presumably
at
the
next
council
meeting.
My
follow-up
question
is:
since
this
is
a
zoning
ordinance.
Do
we
have
a
public
hearing
component
as
part
of
that,
or
does
it
just
go
to
second
and
third
or
we.
C
Go
got
it.
Thank
you
for
that.
That's
very
clarifying,
and
just
to
briefly
touch
on
this.
I
think
that
this
amended
ordinance
as
it
arrives
today
is
a
compromise
between
two
different
visions
of
how
you
reach
affordability.
One
is
through
sort
of
the
free
market
approach.
The
other
is
through
sort
of
the
covenant.
You
know
government
mandate
approach,
and
this
ordinance
has
something
for
everybody
in
that
regard,
and
I
really
look
forward
to
seeing
how
this
works
over
the
coming
years,
and
if
we
need
to
make
additional
tweaks,
we
can
do
it
thanks.
O
D
Councilmember
sacrament.
Thank
you
mayor.
I'm
I'm
proud
to
support
these
coming
out
of
our
our
cd
committee.
I
want
to
thank
councilman
appel
for
kind
of
pushing
the
adu
conversation.
I
think
it's
a
dual
track
and
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
and
for
folks
that
are
paying
attention
to
our
affordable
housing
crisis.
This
is
not
a
silver
bullet,
it's
just
another
tool
in
our
toolbox.
These
are
two
and
they're
very
similar.
I
mean
they're
very
similar
ideas,
we're
we're
trying
to
attract
middle-income
folks
and
all
along
the
spectrum.
D
F
A
O
F
O
A
B
Thank
you.
I
can
give
you
the
procedural
history
on
this
one,
so
the
original
version
that
was
taken
to
cdc
is
the
procedural.
It's
essentially
the
south
carolina
human
affairs
commission
statute,
providing
the
procedural
and
the
enforcement
mechanism
for
the
fair
housing
act.
It
was
whittled
down
to
an
ordinance
version
for
consideration
for
cdc,
but
instead
of
the
human
affairs
commission,
it
was
noted
that
the
harc,
the
human
affairs
racial
conciliation
commission
would
be
taking
on
the
investigatory
and
the
enforcement
mechanism.
B
So
during
the
meeting
it
was
recommended
that
that
be
removed
and
that
we
just
have
city
enforcing
investigating
through
its
legal
department.
So
that
was
one
big
change
that
came
out
of
the
cdc,
as
well
as
the
removal
of
a
number
seven
where
it
would
allow
the
commission
to
take
donations
and
grants
in
order
to
enforce
the
ordinance
itself.
A
A
F
F
F
F
F
There
are
over
150
complaints
that
have
been
filed,
most
of
which
are
disability.
Complaints,
however,
apportions
also
race,
a
city
of
rsi,
not
a
city.
A
state
of
our
size
should
only
be
looking
at
about
60
complaints
annually,
they're
at
150.,
so
any
help
any
help
that
they
can
get
at.
This
point
would
be
great.
F
A
F
F
I
think
it's
four
or
five
thousand
it
may
be
higher
now,
so
any
investigation
that
we
do
will
be
paid
for
through
the
department
of
housing
and
urban
development
and
yeah.
You
can
call
it
a
grant,
but
we're
working
for
them
really
right
so
they're
paying
us
for
what
we're
we're
doing,
understood.
Councilmember.
O
Mitchell
yeah
and
mr
council
members
and
mayor:
that's
why
I
ask
mr
the
author
to
stay
around
to
listen
to
what
we
are
planning
on
doing,
since
he
is
handling
fair
housing
and
he
is
also
working
with
the
city
now,
with
fair
housing
through
our
community
development
block,
rent
and
receive,
and
also
other
entities
like
the
dorchester
county,
berkeley
county
north
charleston
he's
doing
all
over.
You
know
the
urban
league
is
doing
that,
so
we
can
partner
partner
with
them.
O
O
But
people
understand
it's
still
happening,
but
that
fell
under
under
the
route
too.
So
they
got
away
with
that
communal
development,
if
you
made
the
banks
did
so.
These
are
some
things
that
happened
over
the
period
of
years
since
I've
been
here
coming
on
down
up
to
the
present
day,
so
we
have
to
get
a
handle
on
a
lot
of
these
things
and
right
now,
it's
a
time
to
do
it
now,
because
in
a
couple
of
three
years,
even
for
the
past
last
three
years,
I
wouldn't
be
around
a
couple
of
others.
O
A
F
L
F
Taking
it
all
we're
taking
on
the
investigative
function,
we're
taking
on
the
conciliation
function
because,
most
times
things
don't
go
any
further
than
conciliation
as
long
as
the
respondent
and
the
complainant
come
to
an
agreement,
it's
over
it's
when
they
can't
come
to
some
type
of
conciliation
agreement
that
it
goes
further.
Yes,
we
on
both
sides.
There
may
have
to
be
some
subpoena
information.
F
A
So
I
did
not.
I
was
not
able
to
attend
the
three-hour
meeting
the
other
day,
so
I
didn't
have
the
benefit
of
hearing
all
that
discussion.
I
was
at
a
mayor's
conference
out
of
town
and-
and
I
would
just
respectfully
ask
that,
given
the
way
this,
this
ordinance
has
matriculated
up
to
us,
and
I
know
we
can
make
changes
between
first
and
second
reading.
A
I
would
like
to
request
that
we
acknowledge
that
staff
be
charged
with
reviewing
the
ordinance
to
see
if
there
are
other
appropriate
amendments
or
changes
edits
that
that
might
help
it
comply
with
with
the
federal
housing
act,
and
I
I'd
like
to
call
on
wilbur
johnson
to
share
with
us
a
few.
He
shared
a
few
with
me
today
that
he
thinks
we
could
make
this
even
a
little
better
and
things
that
we
still
need
to
work
on.
Maybe
to
to
to
make
this
full
compliance
with
the
federal
act.
Well,.
T
Yeah
I've
had
a
similar
conversation
with
councilman
gregory
about
this.
The
the
president
legislation,
I
think,
provides
sort
of
a
good
template
for
what
I
think
councilman
gregory
and
other
members
of
council
are
trying
to
accomplish,
and
that
is
how
to
how
to
investigate
and
enforce
fair
housing
practices
and
laws.
T
T
T
There's
no
state
entity
actually
involved
the
apa
covers
state
action
or
state
entity
or
some
dispute
with
a
state
entity.
We
do
not
have
that
at
the
moment,
so
we
will
need
to
somehow
reconcile
the
legislation,
the
language
of
the
legislation
that
speaks
to
the
apa
or
that
the
legislation
is
subject
to
the
apa
to
be
sure
that
we
can
properly
invoke
the
authority
of
the
administrative
procedures
act.
T
T
Now
you
can
make
the
I
guess
the
judgment
that,
if
the
suit
or
if
there's
some
basis
for
suit
on
on
the
basis
of
racial
discrimination
or
discrimination
on
some
other
unlawful
factor
that
maybe
that
guesses
in
the
federal
court,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
clear
about
how
that
works.
To
be
sure,
we
have
the
proper
jurisdiction
of
background
or
basis
for
the
city
attorney
or
some
other
entity
to
pursue
an
action
or
to
bring
a
lawsuit
against
an
entity
in
federal
court.
T
R
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
mr
johnson,
thank
you
for
that
that
summary,
but
when
I
first
saw
the
the
proposed
ordinance,
I
had
a
lot
of
concerns
about
it,
particularly
trying
to
curtail
this
with
the
human
affairs
and
racial
reconciliation,
since
we
had
spent
so
much
time
debating
that
and
getting
that
that
passed
and
that
commission
has
not
even
been
fully
staffed
and
formed.
We've
got
on
our
table
the
recommendations
of
those
members
who
are
going
to
be
appointed
to
that.
R
R
But
I
I
have
to
tell
you.
I
got
some
real
concerns
about
put
some
of
the
issues
on
here
I'll
just
let
me
just
point
out
a
few
of
them.
For
instance,
under
subsection
section,
16-24.02
section,
eight
under
f,
it
sounds
like
we're
talking
about
the
city
having
the
ability
to
issue
a
subpoena
deuces
teacum.
R
R
I
mean
congress
has
the
ability
to
issue
a
subpoena,
but
how
does
a
city
have
impose
upon
itself
the
ability
to
say
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
charleston,
I'm
issuing
my
own
subpoena
without
the
institution
of
an
existing
pending
case
going
forward,
and
in
doing
that
this
sounds
unconstitutional
quite
frankly,
to
be
able
to
do
that
then
further
down.
When
you
go
to
section
9
under
section
16-24.03
begin,
they
talk
about
subpoenas
and
subpoenas
for
those
of
us
who
don't
practice.
Law
subpoena
is
not
just
a
request
to
do
something.
R
It
is
a
demand
and
if
you
fail
to
abide
by
a
subpoena,
you
can
be
held
in
contemporary
court
donald
trump.
As
you
may
have
heard,
it's
been
held
in
contemporary
court
or
failed
to
to
comply
with
the
subpoena,
but
under
section
9a
it
even
goes
a
bit
further
and
it
says
in
conducting
an
investigation,
the
city
shall
have
access
at
all
reasonable
times
to
premises.
Well,
I'm
sorry,
there's
a
constitutional
prohibition
from
coming
into
my
home.
R
To
my
premises,
I
mean
that's
in
order
for
anybody
to
go
into
a
premise:
you're
gonna
have
a
search
warrant
because
the
contribution
protects
us
to
unreasonable
searches
and
seizures.
So
I
understand
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish.
I
really
do
understand
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish,
but
I'm
just
I'm
looking
at
this
and
I'm
going
wait
a
minute.
I'm
gonna
hit
the
pause
button
as
to
what
we're
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish
versus
what
we're
this
audience
is
speaking
of
right
now
and
that
that
gives
me
a
lot
of
heartburn
and
and
problems
with
it.
R
In
addition,
I
go
on
other
things.
I
think
my
point
I'm
trying
to
make
is:
what
are
we
trying
to
accomplish
beyond
what
we
have
is
an
existing
ordinance
that
we
need
to
have
accomplished
to
fill
the
gaps.
I
think
that
councilman
mcgregor
is
talking
about
and
with
mr
johnson
you've
been
taught,
you've
been
clarified
for
us,
I
think-
and
so
I
don't
know
what
the
best
way
of
handling
this
you
know
either
deferring
it
going
back
to
the
drawing
board.
R
On
this
thing,
I
I
don't
know,
I
understand
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
I'm
saying
what
we're
trying
to
do,
but
but
but
I
think
we
have
to
be
careful
that
you,
if
you
want
to
model
something
after
after
an
existing
federal
law,
that's
fine,
but
we
don't
have
the
same
components
that
a
congress
has
that
the
city
does
not
have.
In
addition,
another
legal
term
I'll
throw
out
there
for
everybody
is
standing
legal
standing
to
initiate
a
lawsuit.
You
have
to
have
legal
ability
to
bring
the
lawsuit.
R
You
have
to
call
standing
to
do
that,
meaning
I
have
the
right.
So
if,
if
mike
seekings
and
I
have
a
car
accident,
I
can
he
can
sue
me
or
I
can
sue
him
because
we
were
injured,
we
have
a
standing
to
seek
redress
against
one
or
the
other
because
of
a
car
accident,
but
I
can't
the
council
member
bowdoin
can't
bring
that
lawsuit
on
my
behalf
as
a
private
citizen.
He
could
do
it
as
a
lawyer
on
my
behalf,
but
not
as
a
private
citizen.
R
So
is
the
city
taking
on
this
obligation
when
it
doesn't
have
the
standing,
the
legal
ability
to
do
that.
Those
are
just
questions
I'm
bringing
up
as
to
how
far
we
can
point
in
the
direction
that
I
think
I
understand
that
this
committee
is
trying
to
accomplish.
So
those
are
questions
and
there's
a
complete
concerns.
I
have
for
what
we're
trying
to
accomplish,
and
I.
F
Think
they're
all
councilmember
gregory,
I'm
sorry,
I
think
they're
all
legitimate
questions.
However,
some
of
what
you
just
raised-
okay,
if
it's
not
included
the
law,
won't
be
substantially
equivalent
to
the
federal
law.
Secondly,
I,
along
with
julia,
amber,
we
have
looked
at
other
local
jurisdictions,
okay
and
their
language.
Okay
is
exactly
the
same
language
we
have
here.
So
if
it's
a
constitutional
question,
okay,
it
goes
beyond
us,
because
every
single
okay,
that
I've
read,
has
every
single
this
budgets,
but
items
we
have
and
some
even
go
further.
F
F
K
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
do
agree
with
with
councilmember
sheahead.
I
I
think
the
core
of
what
this
is
trying
to
accomplish
and
the
cinnamon
is
noble
and
good,
and
we
should
definitely
continue
to
move
in
that
direction,
but
I
think
just
given
the
nature
of
what
mr
johnson
said.
Excuse
me
what
mr
johnson
said
as
well.
As
you
know,
it's
my
understanding.
It
was
the
last
minute
gonna
add
to
the
cd
agenda.
K
K
A
F
T
T
B
So
the
the
research
that
we've
been
doing
today
is
reaching
out
to
there's
some
there's
great
versions
of
this
ordinance
in
north
carolina,
durham,
winston-salem,
charlotte
and
they're
written
in
a
form
that
we
could
easily
adopt
and
change
to
make
it
our
own.
The
question
of
the
subpoena
power-
that's
something
we
still
need
to
figure
out
just
because
charlotte
or
north
carolina
has
its
own
chartering
legislation
that
gives
municipalities
the
right
to
subpoena.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
same
kind
of
enforcement
power.
L
Thank
you
and-
and
you
know,
for
45
days
does
seem
sort
of
tight
and
councilwoman.
Very
I
I
do
not
at
all
mean
to
suggest
that
you
didn't
do
your
homework
here
or
that
everybody
else
involved
didn't
do
their
homework.
I
just
haven't
been
privy
to
all
that
conversation
and
sitting
here,
and
this
is
the
problem
with
lawyers
generally,
as
we've
come
up
with
problems,
I
have
about
a
million
questions,
starting
with
the
ones
that
they
just
suggested.
L
L
I
would
think
that
90
days
would
be
appropriate
just
for
all
that
and
then
not
only
for
them
to
do
the
work,
but
then
to
educate
me.
So
that's
that
would
be
my
suggestion.
Is
that
there's,
I
think,
a
ton
to
get
done
here
and
I
just
don't
want
to
put
anybody
in
a
bond.
You
know
saying
45
days,
then
we
come
back
and
do
it
do
all
this
over
again.
Q
Q
They
pointed
me
towards
the
code
of
federal
regulations,
and
one
of
the
questions
that
I
have
is
in
pursuing
our
ordinance
as
a
city
where
we
pursue
it
on
the
legal
side,
and
mr
johns
alluded
to
well,
if
you've
got
some
issues
of
unfair
housing
and
the
like
that,
may
get
you
into
federal
court
he's
right
about
that.
But
the
way
it
gets
you
into
federal
court,
if
I'm
not
mistaken
and
I'll
stand
down.
Q
It's
not
just
final
decision
making
it's
administrative
duties
to
a
third
party.
Okay,
that's
one,
and
we
can
go
through
that
and
I
think
you're
well
aware
of
that.
But
the
second
is:
we
have
to
bring
the
action
to
a
court
of
competent
jurisdiction
which
is
empowered
to
do
the
following
award:
the
plaintiff,
the
complainant
actual
and
punitive
damages.
We
can't
do
that
in
city
court.
Q
We
can't
do
that,
so
there's
got
to
be
a
way
to
get
to
a
court
of
competent
jurisdiction
and
that
we
have
to
figure
out
before
we
put
this
out
there,
because
we
will
put
ourselves
way
behind
the
eight
ball.
If
we
don't
do
that.
So
with
all
the
respect
councilmember.
I
know
you've
worked
really
hard
on
this,
but
45
60
days
compared
to
you
know
the
whole
process.
Q
I
think
we
need
to
get
this
right
and
we
need
to
get
legal
answers
to
what
path
we
pursue
and
how
we
attach
jurisdiction
to
a
complaint
for
violation
of
the
cities.
The
city's
unfair
housing
practices
ordinance
whatever
it
is.
I
did
go
back
today
by
the
way
and
look
at
our
currently
existing
ordinance,
and
it's
got
some
things
in
there
that
are
actually
interesting.
It
is
linked
to
the
criminal
code,
I'm
sure
you're,
aware
of
that
which
actually
makes
it
criminal
per
se.
A
A
Do
you
give
us
a
report
back
in
30
days
on
how
you're
doing
what
you
really
think
you
need,
and
and
and
and
assess
it
from
there?
We
want
to
move
it
along?
Is
the
point
councilmember
gregory
we're
not
deferring
this
just
for
it
to
go
into
wastebasket
or
anything
like
that.
We
want
to
pursue
this
diligently,
but
we
we
want
to
do
the
right
thing.
It
does
sound
like
there
are
a
lot
of
complicated
issues.
F
Q
Q
Q
We
can
get
some
advice
in
advance
of
this
and
why
wouldn't
we
go,
get
an
advisory
opinion
rather
than
have
to
be
challenged,
and
we
will
be
at
some
point
if
we
do
this
without
getting
that
advisory
opinion
and
set
us
back
to
square
one.
So,
mr
mayor,
with
all
due
respect,
I
think
around
this
table
and
councilmember
gregory
can
certainly
speak
for
himself
and
does
very
well
and
very
often.
Q
Is
that
60
days
really
is
a
good
reporting
period
time
to
come
back
and
then
we
can
see
where
we
are.
I
just
there's
a
lot
in
here
for
them
to
get
going
when
we've
got
other
things
going,
so
I
would
respectfully
request
whoever
made
the
motion
that
it'd
be
a
60-day
reporting
back
period,
and
then
we
see
where
we
are
from
there.
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
just
want
to
echo
a
lot
of
the
sentiment
that
was
raised
just
now
from
council,
member
seekings
and
shade
and
fowden
and
others.
The
intent
here
is
good.
We
just
need
to
get
this
right
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to
reiterate
what
I
said
on
thursday
and
reiterate
what
these
fine
folks
have
said
tonight,
but
I
just
want
to
throw
out
another
consideration.
You
know
we
have
limited
staff
resources.
C
C
So
when
we
talk
in
and
I'm
just
throwing
this
out
for
what
it's
worth,
we
talked
about
barriers
to
access
to
housing.
You
would
ask
me
what
the
top
ten
barriers
to
access
to
housing
are
for
minorities.
Everybody
in
the
city
of
charleston
number,
one
price,
number,
two
price
number,
three
price
number:
four
price:
you
get!
What
I'm
saying?
No,
I
don't
well
I'm
here
to
tell
you:
okay,.
C
C
What's
wrong
with
our
current
ordinance?
What
is
the
state
doing?
What
is
the
federal
government
doing?
Have
we
been
provided
with
any
of
that
information?
What
role
does
this
serve?
These
are
things
that
need
to
be
fleshed
out.
These
are
things
that
need
to
be
developed.
And,
frankly
I
I'll
be
honest
with
you.
I
think
that
I
think
listen.
C
Look
I
mean
look.
We
need
to
have
fair
housing,
no
question
about
it.
I
don't
think
this
is
even
close
to
being
in
the
top
priorities.
I
think
housing,
price
and
affordability
is
the
number
one
problem
in
the
city.
I
think
jobs.
I
think
those
are
the
issues
we
need
to
be
focusing
and
spending
our
time
on
and
oh
by
the
way.
Those
are
the
things
that
we
actually
have
control
over
as
a
municipality
okay.
C
To
try
to
think
that
we're
going
to
become
a
mini
hud,
I
think,
is
a
very
unrealistic
thing
to
say.
I
don't
think
we
have
the
bandwidth
for
that.
We
don't
do
this
kind
of
level
of
enforcement
for
anything
in
the
city
outside
of
our
criminal
code.
Okay,
so
I
think
we
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
humble
when
we're
approaching
these
issues.
I
think
the
way
that
this
ordinance
was
presented
to
us
at
the
cd
committee
was
shockingly
sloppy.
C
It
was
an
awfully
drafted
ordinance
and
our
legal
department's
not
going
to
say
this,
but
I'm
going
to
say
this.
Our
legal
department
did
not
have
a
hand
in
what
we
saw
on
thursday
and
that's
a
fact
and
that's
a
fact,
because
I
know
our
lawyers
and
they
would
not
put
what
I
saw
on
that
ordinance
on
thursday
night
in
an
ordinance
to
go
before
council
no
way.
So
let's
do
this
right.
We
spent
over
a
year
on
our
adu
ordinance.
This
is
far
more
significant
than
that.
Let's
spend
the
time
to
do
it
right.
C
I
don't
understand
why
we're
putting
artificial
deadlines
on
this,
we're
talking
about
real
serious
stuff
and
we're
trying
to
send
signals
to
the
market
come
to
charleston
to
provide
affordable
housing.
Okay,
but
meanwhile
we're
going
to
set
up
this
draconian
enforcement
regime.
We're
going
to
be
subpoenaed
duke,
is
taking
people
and
getting
nasty
with
people.
I
mean
it's,
it's
sending
the
wrong
message,
mr.
O
A
Yeah
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
defer,
with
the
report
back
from
legal
on
june,
any
further
discussion
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
oppose
the
eyes
have
and
I'm
glad
that's
on
the
record.
Thank
you.
So
next
up
is
our
committee
on
public
works.
I
think
councilmember
waring
order
order.
A
I
A
A
A
Second:
motion
to
prove
one
through
eight
any
comments:
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
now
for
third
reading
and
ratification
any
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
odds
have
it
our
bill
up
for
first
reading
is
deferred,
so
we
have
a
miscellaneous
business
of
two
executive
sessions,
one
to
receive
legal
advice
regarding
a
settlement
proposal
for
the
334
dewberry
appeal
and
the
other
an
executive
session
to
receive
legal
advice
regarding
charleston
school
of
law.
A
Let
me
say
beforehand:
I
will
recuse
myself
from
the
second
matter
and
if
we
go
into
a
continuous
executive
session,
I'll
excuse
myself
when
we
get
to
the
second
matter,
can
I
entertain
and
we'll
maybe
take
a
five-minute
break
before
we
go
into
executive
session?
Maybe
seven
could
I
entertain
a
motion
that
would
go
into
some
executive
session
for
those
two
items
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
A
K
A
A
I
entertain
a
motion
and
we
come
out
of
executive
session,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
and
he
posed
the
eyes.
Have
it
let
the
record
show
no
action
was
taken.
While
we
were
in
executive
session
and
I'll
confirm
with
mayor
pro
tem,
no
action
was
taken.
While
I
was
out
of
the
second
half
of
executive
session.
Thank
you
and
so
do.
Can
I
entertain
any
motions
regarding
item
number
one
regarding
any
legal
advice
on
a
settlement
with.
Q
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
would
move
in
the
matter
of
the
dewberry
litigation
that
we
as
a
council
authorize
our
legal
counsel
to
move
forward
with
negotiations
in
anticipation
of
settlement
under
terms
that
are
acceptable
to
the
city
and
consistent
with
the
terms
required
by
the
neighborhood
association.
