Congratulations.
B
G
F
I
just
want
to
recognize
councilmember
appel
when
we've
heard
about
his
heroics,
he
was
really
pushing
that
the
recognition
be
afforded
to
him,
which
he
truly
deserves.
This
happened
on
in
my
district,
I
didn't
know
about
it.
Till
war
broke
out,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
we
all
have
another
connection
with
councilmember
bowden,
because
it
was
one
of
his
clients
who
he
saved.
F
F
A
All
right-
oh,
I
forgot
to
mention
if
we
in
the
very
unlikely
event
that
we
would
need
to
evacuate
the
building,
you
got
just
a
few
options,
these
two
doors
out
of
this
room
and
the
one
door
out
of
the
room
to
my
right,
the
two
stairways
going
down
and
then
just
the
one
stairway
going
out
the
front.
Please
don't
use
the
elevator
in
the
event
we
had
to
evacuate
for
any
reason
and
I
wanted
to
share
with
council.
I
hope
this
is
the
last
meeting
we
have
to
use
these
microphones.
A
We
have
our
new
microphones,
hopefully
going
to
arrive
any
day.
So
I
will
ask
your
forbearance
again
tonight
remember
to
cut
your
microphone
on
and
you
have
to
like
distance
yourself
just
about
right.
You
got
to
get
close
enough
to
where
we
hear
you
or
you
get
too
close
it
backfires.
So
you
got
to
gauge
that
for
each
microphone.
A
I
did
want
to
note
and
we'll
have
a
formal
city
resolution
representing
myself
and
council
this
thursday
at
the
funeral
of
liz
alston,
who
very
sadly
passed
away
this
past
weekend.
She
was
a
terrific
citizen
of
our
city.
She
had
served
as
chairperson
of
the
charleston
county
school
board.
She
she
spent
countless
volunteer
hours
on
both
our
history,
commission
and
our
tourism
commission,
and
she
was
feisty
as
she
could
be
when
she
wanted
to
be
right,
councilmember
mitchell,
but
anyway.
A
I
I
wanted
to
note
her
passing
what
a
wonderful
citizen,
liz
austin
was
and
we'll
recognize
her
further
at
her
funeral
on
thursday,
and
I
did
want
to
bring
the
council's
attention
this
little
model
vessel
here
that
I
received
the
other
day
the
city
received
from
the
admiral
of
from
the
bahrainian
navy.
They
are
here
for
a
year.
A
While
the
vessel
is
being
renovated,
I'm
not
sure
why
they
have
to
do
it
that
way,
but
more
power
to
them
and
they're
renting
some
facilities
on
the
north
charleston
naval
base,
but
anyway
he
was
kind
enough
to
give
give
the
city
this
this
gift,
and
I
thought
I
would
share
that
with
you.
So
next
we
have
our
public
hearings.
H
H
H
It
is
in
our
new
comprehensive
plan
as
our
neighborhood
edge,
which
would
be
appropriate
for
that
kind
of
business
park.
Use.
This
image
shows
the
squared
off
location
of
the
general
area
around
the
the
property-
it's
not
in
one
of
our
three
centers
on
maybank
highway,
but
it
still
is
an
area
where
economic
development
would
be
welcomed,
of
course,
and
this
would
be
a
good
new
use
for
the
property
that
is
up
for
sale.
H
We
have
some
aerial
images
of
it
as
well,
showing
that
a
good
bit
of
the
property
is
currently
you
know,
storage
yard
for
vehicles
and
supplies
things
like
that.
The
the
way
the
berkeley
electric
co-op
hit
it
and
here's
another
image
looking
from
the
north
and
then
the
image
of
me
bank
highway
in
front
of
the
property
and
looking
the
other
way
on
maybach
highway.
It
is
the
two-lane
section
of
maybach
highway,
of
course,
and
the
applicant
also
provided
an
exhibit
of
how
they'd
like
to
divide
up
the
property.
H
They
are
looking
use
it
using
some
of
the
existing
office
structures
at
the
front
for
a
daycare
or
preschool
type
facility,
which
we
all
know
is
well
greatly
needed
on
john's
island
and
then
the
rear
for
storage
of
facilities.
Things
like
that
storage
of
items
which
could
include
boats
and
other
items
that
folks
on
john's
island
have
to
store
and
all
this
fits
within
the
business
park.
A
E
E
All
these
public
entities
and
organizations
should
be
using
their
property
to
mitigate
the
serious
crisis
of
housing.
The
applicant
has
his
right
to
under
under
the
constitution
to
force
property
rights
and
therefore
I
don't
want
to
invade
their
property
rights.
I'll
finish
my
statement,
the
next
one.
Thank
you,
sir.
A
I
A
J
Yes,
mr
mayor,
thank
you.
I
was
hoping
you
might
be
able
to
you
know
from
folks
on
john's
island.
There
had
been
some
interest
in
the
city
potentially
using
that
property,
and
I
was
just
hoping
you
could,
for
the
record,
just
clarify
why
the
city
wasn't
interested
in
that
particular
property
and
I'm
in
favor
of
the
rezoning.
Obviously,
but
the
questions
we
got
were
why
the
city
wasn't
interested.
A
A
You
know,
I
think
it
was
just
mostly
a
logistical
consideration
that
we
felt
that
future
facilities
would
be
best
located
west
ashley
and
near
our
milford
street
operations,
where
we
have
some
property,
but
also
west
ashley.
So,
honestly,
the
feedback
I
got
from
our
city
leadership
was,
they
didn't
feel
like
it
would
work
for
us.
J
Yes,
sir,
and
I
was
also
just
going
to
point
out-
you
know
folks
that
asked
for
it
to
be
considered
as
a
rec
center
or
hurricane
shelter
or
some
things
of
that
nature.
But
you
know
the
city
does
have
plans
for
parks,
expansion
and
other
things
on
john's
island.
So
just
because
we're
rezoning
this
property
does
not
mean
that
those
plans
aren't,
in
effect
for
other
areas
of
the
city
on
johns
island.
A
Well,
that
that's
a
good
point
and-
and
that
came
up
in
the
discussion,
because
at
the
time
we
were
pursuing
an
addition
of
property
to
our
johns
island
park
and
we
subsequently
proceeded
with
that
with
a
greenbelt
application.
We
added
what
about
10
acres
and
we
felt
that
the
future
rec
center
more
appropriately,
would
be
right
next
to
our
park,
and
that's
that
was
a
consideration
at
the
time
all
right,
any
other
question
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
and
he
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
number
two.
H
Number
two
is
e2
and
it
is
a
rezoning
at
the
intersection
of
ud
street
and
meeting
street
and
it
is
owned
by
the
charleston
housing
authority.
You
all
may
have
heard
a
little
bit
about
this
one
already,
but
this
is
where
they
are
planning
to
work
with
a
private
developer
for
more
affordable
units
on
the
site.
There
are
some
townhouses
on
the
site
that
are
going
to
be
demolished
and
many
more
units
built
in
their
place.
H
The
site
is,
of
course,
at
meeting
in
eugene.
It
is
surrounded
basically
on
all
sides
by
the
mu
zoning,
the
mixed-use
workforce,
housing
zoning.
So
the
request
that
the
housing
authority
has
to
go
to
the
mu1
workforce
housing
zoning
is
is
very
much
in
line
with
the
surrounding
area.
It
is
also
in
line
with,
what's
in
our
comprehensive
plan,
which
shows
this
as
part
of
our
urban
core
and
that's
typically,
the
areas
that
we
do
recommend
for
that
mu,
housing
or
mu
zoning.
H
The
property
has
the
townhouses
that
I
mentioned,
as
well
as
the
historic
grant
homes
which
will
continue
to
be
housing
and
continue
to
be
well
kept
up
and
cared
for.
They
front
on
meeting
street,
but
they
are
going
to
use
some
of
the
parking
area
of
those
grant
homes.
So
that's
why
all
three
parcels
here
are
part
of
the
rezoning
request.
E
She
stated
that
she
referred
someone's
speech
to
south
carolina
law
enforcement
division
for
their
speech
and
that
person
would
then
be
qualified
under
h.362,
which
would
then
be
the
hate
crime
bill.
Now
I
I've
made
public
comment
on
the
housing
authority
right,
I'm
gonna
I'll,
be
on
the
right
I'm.
I
am
a
separation
of
church
and
state,
okay,
I'm
a
proponent
of
the
separation
of
church
and
state,
and
I
don't
support
that
at
all,
and
so
my
my
comments
that
I
made
have
been
referred
to
people
based
upon
that
premise
in
the
housing
authority.
K
K
Hard
asked
me
to
move
in
there
to
try
to
keep
it
straight
from
the
time
when
I
was
working
and
when
I
spoke
with
the
housing
authority
when
they
started
this
plan,
when
the
rad
program
came
out-
and
they
said
it's
going
to
just
have
to
take
those
buildings
down
because
they
want
to
expand
that
whole
area
where
the
parking
is
and
behind
it,
the
building
and
tour
the
tear
down
the
building.
That's
on
meeting
street
per
se,
I
wanted,
I
told
them.
K
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
replaced
those
units
back
that
they're
going
to
tear
down
a
275,
huge
street.
I
think
it's
only
12
units
and
they
say:
okay,
we
are
replacing
those
as
hard
tell
them.
They
have
to
replace
those
units
back
and
then
the
rest
of
the
units
take
on
a
bill.
It's
going
to
be
a
mixture
if
you
make,
and
so
when
they
showed
me
all
the
plans.
K
I
made
sure
I
looked
at
all
the
plans
before
this
even
came
out
from
the
housing
authority,
and
that
was
under
don
cameron
before,
but
the
new
director
is
following
through
with
the
same
plan
that
they
had
previous,
so
this
is
going
to
put
on
more
housing
and
more
affordable
housing
in
that
particular
area
on
meeting
street
and
fuji
street.
If
you
make
so,
I
think
a
total
union
is
going
to
be
with
60
something
units
72.
K
Totally
once
they
build
build
out
the
whole
area,
so
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
affordable
housing
in
that
particular
area,
but
we
have
lost
in
that
area
from
previous
years.
So
it's
going
to
be.
You
know
advantageous
for
people
living
in
that
particular
area,
because
everything
else
is
going
to
be
hotel
around
there.
So
we
try
to
still
try
to
include
some
housing.
D
Mr
mayor
and
I
wholeheartedly
I'm
going
to
support
this
rezoning,
but
I
would
just
like
to
comment
this
is
probably
for
mr
summerfield
and
mr
summerville
together.
I
actually
yesterday
had
lunch
up
in
that
corridor
at
berkeley's,
which
is
the
corner
of
ug
street
and
rutledge.
When
I
was
done,
I
walked
back
to
east
bay
street
and
the
amount
of
activity
in
that
corridor
is
mind-numbing.
D
I
mean
it's
incredible:
between
apartments
and
commercial
activity,
affordable,
housing,
hotels,
coming
on
the
corners,
it's
almost
impossible
to
traverse
it
impossible
to
traverse
across
it
in
any
way
other
than
a
car,
and
even
that's
really
difficult.
So
I
know
that
we
had
some
conversations
about
this
some
years
ago
about
that
corridor.
What
we
could
do
about
it
in
terms
of
reconfiguring
it
making
it
safer
for
cars,
bikes
pedestrians.
D
So
if
you
go
there
on
any
afternoon
at
four
o'clock,
it
is
it's
a
it's
a
nightmare,
so
I
just
think,
as
we
develop
and
think
about
this,
we
got
to
think
about
the
infrastructure
around
it.
We've
got
to
get
with
the
county,
the
d.o.t,
whatever
it
takes
to
come
up
with
some
plans
to
make
it
more
passable,
more
accessible
and
safer,
because
it's
it's.
A
So
that
that
point
apparently
there's
been
a
project
on
the
books
since
before
I
became
a
mayor
to
improve
the
streetscape,
at
least
from
meeting
back
to
east
bay
street,
believe
it
or
not,
it's
it's
finally,
moving
along
it's
one
of
those
projects
that
has
some
federal
funding,
and
so
the
check
off
list
is
like
crazy,
but
it
it's
finally
moving
along.
We
can
give
you
a
further
report
if
you
like
at
a
future
meeting
council.
K
K
We
are
working
on
the
streetscape
in
that
particular
area.
I
have.
I
had
them
to
meet
with
the
greater
rapids
churches
right
there
and
meet
with
everyone
in
that
particular
area
and
I'll
be
working
with
them,
because
they're
gonna
need
greater
rapids
to
give
up
a
little
space
in
the
front
of
their
building,
to
do
the
streetscape
to
be
able
to
have
their
bicycle
and
everything
else,
but
the
traffic
is
pretty
bad
around
me
I'll
tell
you
because
they
use
that
when
they
go
into
mount
pleasant,
they
use
that
area.
K
When
they're
coming
down
you
just
street
from
king-
and
I
see
it
every
day,
because
I
live
right
on
the
car
right
by
it.
So
it's
it's
backed
up
every
day
and
they
turn
and
go
to
my
place
and
they're
coming
down
the
street.
So
the
traffic
is
pretty
bad,
so
I
was
telling
them
I
said
with
the
streetscape.
K
I
was
just
going
to
really
help
it
at
all.
I
don't
know
really
don't
know
how
it's
going
to
help,
but
it's
going
to
really
give
people
a
chance
to
be
able
to
use
the
bicycle
which
they
wanted
to
do.
The
bicycle
and
walking
and
with
the
traffic
is
not.
I
don't
know
how
they're
gonna
do
the
traffic
part
really.
A
Don't
should
make
it
safer
and,
and
eventually
I
feel
like
the
complete,
even
though
it's
going
in
the
other
direction,
the
low
line
should
should
help
all
right,
any
other
questions
or
comments.
Hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
now
for
third
meeting
and
ratification,
any
comments,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
pose
the
eyes.
Have
it
number
three?
Yes,
sir.
H
Also,
colombia
has
a
section
like
this
and
other
cities
all
over
the
country,
and
essentially
this
follows
the
urban
land
institute's
recommendations
for
the
ways
you
can
share
a
parking
lot.
So
if
you've
got
say
a
restaurant,
that's
open
in
the
evenings
that
needs
its
spaces
in
the
evenings,
but
during
the
day,
you've
got
an
office
user
that
that
needs
daytime
spaces.
H
E
Anthony
g
brian
I'll
be
specific
on
this
one.
This
is
why
public
transportation
is
essential.
It's
an
essential
service
because
then
we'll
be
able
to
take
cars
off
of
these
streets
and
it's
not
a
service.
That's
not
essential
for
a
place
that
has
become
expensive.
So
all
these
restaurants
end
up
occurring
all
these.
E
This
is
revenue
and
money
need
to
try
to
set
aside
some
money
for
their
employees
and
others
to
get
to
and
from
work
throughout
the
whole
region,
and
I
think
that
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
seriously
consider
making
public
transportation
an
essential
service,
because
people,
the
disparity
and
income,
is
so
great.
If
we
had
a
disparity
in
income,
then
it
wouldn't
be
essential
and
wouldn't
be
money-making,
but
you're
making
money
but
ain't.
Nobody
getting
that.
A
G
Sometimes
we'll
get
mics
soon,
mr
morgan,
so
just
to
clarify
for
myself.
So
if
you're,
a
restaurant
owner,
you've
got
a
you've,
got
a
restaurant
and
then
and
then
they're,
you
know,
you've
got
a
shared
parking
lot
and
then
there's
a
daytime.
There's
a
business.
That's
an
office
space.
Does
this
ordinance
change,
make
it
more
give
the
either
entities
more
flexibility
around
the
minimum
parking
requirements
is
that
is
that
what
it
does.
H
G
G
I
think
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
I'd
like
to
maybe
see
if
we
can
get
an
update,
perhaps
at
some
point
this
year
on
just
sort
of
how
things
have
been
going
from
calhoun
to
broad
on
king
street,
with
the
minimum
parking
requirement
ordinance
because
I've
had
some
folks
reach
out
about.
You
know,
potential
expansion
of
that,
and
I
think
that
learning
lessons
as
we
go,
I
think,
is
an
important
part
of
that
process.
G
D
Councilman
seeking
so
we
can
certainly
get
a
specific
report,
but
I
can
tell
you
it's
worked
because
as
soon
as
we
did
it,
one
of
the
first
buildings
to
go
was
the
old
king
street
grill,
which
had
a
huge
off-site
for
parking
requirements.
So
it's
ready
it's
time
for
us
to
have
that
conversation
of
expansion.
I
think
our
team
over
in
the
planning
department's
ready
to
have
that
conversation,
and
I
will
just
tell
you
from
south
of
calhoun
the
anecdotal
evidence-
is
they're
leasing
up
down
there.
So
it's
working.
F
I
thought
we
were
doing
this
already
quite
frankly,
and
I'm
just
a
little
if
I
saw
this
on
our
agenda
just
a
little
puzzled.
I
guess
it's
why
we
need
an
order
to
allow
this
to
happen.
We
just
we've
been
doing
this
in
practice.
I
know
other
establishments
have
done.
It
is
a
turnover
parking
spots
for
different
establishments,
so
this
is
just
going
to
legalize.
What
we've
been
practicing
in
the
past
is
that
essentially,
what
we're.
H
F
F
G
H
A
H
This
is
another
ordinance
amendment
this
would
allow
in
our
home
occupations
certain
allowed
outdoor
activities
to
be
used
as
home
occupations.
Previously,
we
had
not
allowed
outdoor
activities,
in
particular
things
like
swimming
lessons
in
a
backyard
swimming
pool,
and
so
it's
something
that
we've
heard
from
communities
that
they
they
are
in
favor
of,
and
I
think
we
had
a
tremendous
amount
of
support
for
some
particular
folks
who
give
backyard
lessons,
and
so
the
planning
commission
has
reviewed
it
and
felt
comfortable
with
it
and
has
recommended
it
to
you.
B
C
B
H
A
B
F
A
D
H
So
we've
got
a
2
2,
2
1
south
dalerton
circle,
which
is
in
west
ashley.
This
is
an
area
that
is
in
our
low
impact
and
conserved
area
in
our
new
plan
based
on
elevation,
but
it
is
a
lot
that
meets
the
r4
or
I'm
sorry
sr1
standards,
and
so
we
are
recommending
for
sr1
in
this
location
and
there's
an
image
of
the
property
I'm
planning
commission
recommended
for
that.
H
E6
is
again
on
south
dollarton
and
it
is
another
one
that
we
are
recommending
for
sr1
again,
it's
in
low
impact
and
conserve
based
on
its
elevation
and
here's
an
image
of
it
very
similar,
and
we
recommend
planning
commission
recommended
for
that
seven
to
zero,
and
then
we've
got
this
property
also
in
west
ashley
that
is
on.
I
should
be
publishing
street
names
that
last
one,
I'm
sorry
was
2216
south
dalerton
circle
and
then
this
one
is
1506.
North
edgewater
drive
this
one
is
a
little
bit
of
a
larger
lot.
H
It
also
is
in
a
lower
elevation
location,
and
so
we
are
recommending
for
an
rr1
on
this
one,
because
they
have
the
space
to
accommodate
that
a
good
bit
of
this
lot
is
actually
marsh,
but
that
would
prevent
you
know
further
subdivision
in
the
future.
That
would
be
out
of
character
with
the
elevation
of
the
property,
and
here
you
see
an
image
of
the
property,
a
fairly
sizable
lot
there,
and
that
was
recommended
by
planning
commission
in
favor
as
well.
And
then
we
have
a
number
of
lots
that
are
on
wedge
park.
H
The
properties
that
are
on
wedge
park,
we're
recommending
for
sr2
and
then
there
are
two
properties
in
lolandra
in
blue
that
we're
recommending
for
sr1,
and
these
are
in
our
new
plan
as
neighborhood,
although
one
of
them
is
on
the
edge
with
a
little
bit
lower
elevation,
but
because
of
its
lot
size
again.
We're
recommending
for
the
the
sr
one
on
that.
One
and
planning
commission
also
reviewed
these
and
recommended
approval
for
these
as
well.
H
Yes,
sorry
and
then
this
is
2319
lazy,
river
drive
in
west
ashley,
and
this
is
a
parcel
that
is
much
larger
as
well.
It
is
in
the
low
elevation
because
it's
a
larger
lot.
We
were
able
to
recommend
for
rr1
on
that
because
they
have
the
lot
area.
For
that
and
there
you
see,
the
image
of
the
property
and
planning
commission
did
endorse
that
one
as
well.
A
All
right
would
anyone
like
to
be
heard
on
the
zoning
of
the
following
properties.
Please
come
forward:
2120,
2221
and
2216
south
dalat
and
circle
1506,
north
edgewater
drive,
30,
32
and
34
wedge
park,
road,
43
and
49
lolandra
avenue
and
2319
lazy
river
drive
any
of
those
properties.
Yes,
yes,
sir.
I.
A
A
Any
discussion
questions
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
Thank
you,
mr
morgan.
We
appreciate
it
move
for
approval
of
the
minutes.
Next
up
is
our
minutes
january
25th,
and
our
special
meeting
from
february
8th
any
additions
deletions
comments.
All
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
next
up
is
our
citizens
participation
period.
We
have
madam
clark.
Five
people,
five
people
signed
up.
Let's
allow
a
couple
minutes.
Each.
E
I've
never
read
a
statement
in
my
life
before,
but
when
people
use
force
on
people's
speech
and
senate
bill
150,
the
senator
stated
that,
if
anyone's
speech
is
they
can
refer
their
name
to
the
south
carolina
law
enforcement
division.
All
these
documents
will
support
that
and
I
will
continue
to
speak
because
my
speech
began
in
the
13th
14th
and
15th
and
minimum
and
nobody's
going
to
take
my
free
speech
from
me.
No
matter
who
it
is.
This
is
my
statement.
I
want
to
be
able
to
read
the
whole
statements
under
a
minute.

It's
a

In
my
opinion,
this

has
been
a
genocide
on
black

since
1895.
In
my
opinion,

my

and
all
those

got
locked
up

Looked
like

have
found
those
people
who
were
blowing
up

and
everything
killing
innocent
people.
B
L
Mr
mayor
members
of
council,
it's
good
to
be
back
in
person,
I'm
here
today
on
an
agenda
item
that
deals
with
your
executive
session
and
that's
the
johns
island
mid.
I'm
a
lawyer
at
66,
hazel
street
we've
sent
in
a
letter
on
our
three
clients,
beachfen
wick
and
also
crown
at
maybank
and
crown
at
live
oak,
and
I'm
not
going
to
go
over
those
letters.
I'm
not
going
to
punish
you
with
that.
What
I
am
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
give
sort
of
a
high
level
on
this.
L
It's
a
laudable
goal:
everybody
agrees
that
john's
island
needs
infrastructure,
it
is
blowing
up
and
it
doesn't
have
the
infrastructure
to
handle
it.
But
what
council
is
doing
with
this
mid
is
not
the
way
to
do
it.
A
fundamental
essential
requirement
of
amid
is
that
the
people
who
pay
for
it
get
a
special
benefit,
and
here
there
are
no
projects
identified.
L
L
I
mean
we
did
that
with
the
tax
cap
first
time
around
with
the
county,
and
we
know
where
that
ended
up
we're
going
to
be
in
the
same
place.
It
may
be
politically
expedient
to
say
the
existing
taxpayers
and
owners.
Don't
have
excuse
me,
voters
don't
have
to
pay,
but
it's
politically
I
mean
legally
doomed,
and
if
there
is
a
true
desire
to
fix
this,
then
I
think
and
would
submit.
L
G
Good
evening,
mr
mayor
members
of
council,
my
name
is
nathan
gates.
I
resided
set
59
roller
jab
apartment
d,
I'm
also
a
proud
member
of
the
charleston
fire
department,
I'm
here
to
speak
tonight.
We
just
want
to
raise
awareness
about
our
starting
pay
1280
an
hour,
we're
having
one
more
gentleman
leave
at
the
end
of
the
month,
which
brings
our
total
vacancies
up
to
46..
G
They
do
have
another
hiring
class,
but
that'll
take
approximately
28
weeks,
so
we're
looking
that
far
out
and
then
we'll
still
have
an
additional
16
vacancies
that
probably
won't
get
filled
until
november.
This
is
also
in
part
that
we're
also
afforded
3.2
percent
less
than
our
non-sworn
peers.
The
city
are
received
in
a
raise.
G
We
would
just
think
that
having
such
a
low
starting
wage
affects
our
ability
to
attract
qualified
candidates
and
keeping
them
here,
so
we're
eager
to
see
the
results
of
the
pay
side
that
you
were,
mr
mayor,
and
we
hope
when
you
take
those
that
data
point,
you
also
include
cost
of
goods
and
cost
of
living.
So
hopefully
we
can
bring
everybody
up
and
to
a
livable
wage
and
retain
the
members
that
we
we
paid
to
train.
Thank
you.
B
Hello,
my
name
is
marcus
mcdonald,
I'm
the
lead
organizer
of
charleston
black
lives
matter.
I'd
like
to
publicly
apologize
to
council
member
pell
reminds
me
of
the
social
media
post.
Last
week,
I'm
committed
to
continuing
working
with
the
jewish
federation
to
stamp
out
the
hate
act
and
the
commission
on
human
affairs
reconciliation
to
come
together
to
create
a
better
choice
for
everyone
to
city
council.
I
must
express
my
deep
disappointment
regarding
the
commission.
B
And
then
we
did
receive
some
comments
online.
One
person
said
that
mr
mcqueen
stated
during
the
traffic
and
transportation
meeting
that
barricades
were
temporary
and
that
he
asked
if
45
years
were
also
temporary
and
10.
People
opposed
the
city's
vaccine
mandate
for
employees
and
those
are
all
the
comments
we
received.
A
M
M
M
Finally,
starting
to
see
hospitalizations
go
down,
so
that's
gone
down
27
over
the
past
week
in
the
state
of
south
carolina,
you
all
probably
saw
on
february
18th,
see
heck,
announced
a
shift
in
their
testing
strategy,
which
is
kind
of
favoring.
The
at
home
and
rapid
antigen
test
testing
and
phasing
of
their
testing
strategy
begins
on
march
1st,
and
because
the
at-home
testing
isn't
reportable,
dhec
will
start
to
no
longer
report
daily
case
counts,
beginning
on
march
15th.
M
I
I
A
A
I
A
I
M
I
M
I
M
A
Ivan
may
interject
here
as
well.
The
current
city
policy
does
not
require
you
to
wear
a
mask
in
a
city
building
any
longer.
I
also
consult
with
medical
professionals.
I
read
what's
what's
being
put
out
by
the
cdc,
and
still
you
know
they,
they
recommend
responsible
use
of
masses
mass
if
you're
around
other
folks,
but
anyway,
given
the
numbers.
What
they
are
we
have
dial
back.
Our
requirements,
in
fact,
are
no
longer
required
in
city-built
buildings.
I
A
Correct
and
if
you
follow
their
site,
their
data,
those
who
are
unvaccinated
or
more
likely
to
have
serious
symptoms
from
the
disease
and
a
higher
incidence
of
death
as
well.
So
that's
why
we
from
the
beginning
thought
on
recommendation
of
healthcare
professionals
that
being
vaccinated.
What's
a
good
thing.
I
I
mean:
can
I
add
council:
do
you
feel
that
this
is
should
continue
our
city
employees?
I
mean
I've
heard
from
numerous
city
employees
that
this
is.
You
know
this
is
troublesome
the
things
the
stories
I
I
spoke
last
at
the
last
meeting
about
you
know
the
testing
initiatives
things
that
they're
being
subjected
to.
You
know
our
testing
they're
testing
timelines.
I
A
It
has
gone
down,
but
even
last
week
we
had
positive
tests
and
we
were
able
to
prevent
exposure
to
our
other
employees
and
our
citizens,
depending
on
who
the
employee
was
by
finding
out
that
they
were
covered
positive.
So
we
still
think
the
testing
protocol
makes
sense.
We'll
certainly
consider
it
over
time.
If,
if
we
see
over
that
after
a
number
of
weeks
and
months
that
there's
there's
no
positive
cases
showing
up
anymore,
we'll
certainly
take
that
into
account
certainly
open
the
floor.
G
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
say
we
are
now
two
years
into
this
roughly
and
I
will
stand
by
what
I
said
two
years
ago.
I
think
the
city
has
taken
a
measured,
practical,
practical
approach.
When
you
look
at
other
jurisdictions
across
this
country
and
many
cities
across
this
country,
we
have
taken
the
right
approach
in
in
concert
with
governor
mcmaster.
Some
will
disagree
with
me.
I
think
the
state
of
south
carolina,
as
well
as
the
city
of
charles
charleston,
has
done
an
awesome
job.
G
This
council,
your
leadership,
I
understand
it's,
not
popular
councilman
parker.
I
hear
from
people
all
the
time
that
this
disagree
with
my
position.
My
position
as
a
council
member
is
to
represent
all
my
constituents,
so
I
gotta
weigh
that
you're
right.
I
personally
don't
think
a
vaccine
mandate
for
employees
is
a
good
thing.
G
That's
my
personal
opinion,
but
again,
as
a
council
member,
I
have
to
weigh
all
those
options
and
and
look
to
the
mayor
and
other
council
members
for
their
opinion.
So
I
will
say
past
two
years.
I
think
the
city
has
done
an
awesome
job.
I
know
it's
not
been
popular
politically
popular,
but
our
job
is
not
to
be.
You
know
politically
populate
at
the
time.
G
Sometimes
we
got
to
make
decisions
that
folks
don't
don't
particularly
care
for,
but
again
when
you
measure
our
our
our
results
and
what
we've
done
compared
to
other
cities
and
other
jurisdictions
across
the
country.
Some
have
gone
too
far
to
the
right.
Some
have
gone
too
far
to
the
left.
I
think
we've
been
measured
and
I'll
stand
by
that
today.
As
I
stand
understood
by
that
two
years
ago.
Thank
you.
C
I
think
we
have
to
follow
the
science
on
it,
but
one
thing
you
may
mention
other
that
I'm
interested
in,
because
I
that's
the
first
time
I
heard
that
we
have
any
people
getting
in
trouble
because
a
few
of
my
phrases
that
again
about
people
getting
testing
coming
in
late
or
something
like
that-
I
mean
I
don't.
Hopefully
we
can
work
with
our
employees-
is
that
what
is
that
policy
when
somebody
gets
tested
and
if
they
come
and
leave?
If
that's
what
you
were
saying,
I
just
like
some
more
clarity
on
that.
I
M
I'm
not
aware
of
any
of
those
scenarios
I
feel
like
from
my
understanding.
Hr
has
been
you
know
very
agreeable
in
working
with
everybody.
Testing's
been
kind
of
complicated,
especially
when
emicron
was
surging,
so
our
hr
department
was
worked
very
well
with
those
had
an
accommodation
to
to
get
tested.
Yeah
and
the
testing.
I
So
the
testing
they
have
specific
sites,
so
you
mentioned
you
know:
dhec
is
shifting
to
these
at-home
tests,
but
our
employees
are
not
allowed
to
use
those
at-home
tests,
they
have
to
use
a
dx
site
or
it
has
to
be
a
a
register.
It
can't
be
the
at-home
test.
I
don't
know
it
has
to
be
a
specific.
They
have
two
options:
the
dhec
testing
site
or
another
lab
where
it
costs
them
fifty
dollars,
they're
also
not
allowed.
They
have
to
do
it
off
duty.
I
And
again,
as
omicron
surge,
they
were
very
long
wait
times.
So
I'm
sure
that
that's
where
some
of
the
you
know
I
mean
you
can
understand.
As
a
city,
employee,
you're
already,
you
know
understaffed,
overworked
underpaid,
and
now
you
have
to
wait
in
line.
You
know
at
a
dhec
testing
center
when
omicron
it
was
hours.
You
know.
C
A
C
He
actually
pointed
me
to
the
hr
committee.
We
hadn't
had
a
meeting
yet
so
yeah.
I
think
there's
one
coming
up
so
so
it'd
be
good
to
I'll
call
and
see
whether
we
can
have
a
meeting,
I'm
not
sure
but
I'll
call.
We
have
a
meeting
and
it'll
be
good
to
have
miss
to
have
kate,
come
and
report
the
countdown
up
on
that
bring
us
up
to
speed.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
I
And
just
one
other
thing:
I
believe
that
did
h
and
this
might
just
be
another.
You
know
question
for
hr,
but
you
know
this.
This
certainly
seems
you
know
our
unvaccinated
employees
are
being
forced
to
wear
masks.
Okay,
we
know
that
the
science
doesn't,
you
can
still
spread
it
if
you're
masked,
you
can
spread
it
if
you're
unmasked
but
they're
being
sort
of
singled
out.
I
I've
heard
a
lot
of
stories
where
they've
been
you
know,
quite
frankly,
discriminated
against
because
of
their
their
choice,
the
choice
that
they
made
their
medical
choice,
I
believe
in
freedom,
liberties,
they
were
also
their
names
were
emailed
out
to
their
supervisors.
Everyone
has
knows
who
they
are:
they're,
not
vaccinated,
and
obviously,
if
they
are,
they
have
to
wear
a
mask.
If
they
aren't,
I
just
I,
I
think
it's
it's
a
far
reach,
I
think,
for
our
city,
employees.
We
talk
about
our
city
employees
a
lot.
I
How
much
we
appreciate
the
work
that
they
do.
I
believe
they're
we're,
certainly
understaffed.
We
have
certainly
lost
a
few
people
to
these
policies.
I
know
I
lost
people
to
the
wreck
that
watched
my
boys
grow
up
and
you
know
because
they
were
denied
an
exemption.
So
this
is
real
it's
happening
and
I
think
I
think
what
we
can
see
nationally
is
this.
Is
you
know
these
mandates?
I
You
know
it's
time
to.
You
know,
stop
the
government
restrictions
and
just
allow
personal
responsibility
to
take
over.
You
know
that
that's
just
my
like
you
said
the
science
keeps
seems
to
be
trending
that
way,
but
we're
not
changing
anything.
We've
taken
the
mandate
off
the
city
buildings,
things
like
that,
but
not
for
our
city
employees.
So
I
just
think
we
should.
M
Yeah
I
mean
we
keep
talking
to
our
partners
and
based
off
of
the
data
that
we're
seeing,
like
the
mayor,
said,
we're
still
getting
positive
results
from
those
employees
getting
tested.
So
it's
not
like
we're,
not
you
know
kind
of
revisiting
it.
We're
definitely
talking
to
them
all
the
time
to
to
make
adjustments.
As
we
see
they're
needed.
A
A
A
D
Mr
mayor
and
I
will
be
very
brief,
as
you
all
are
well
aware,
as
we
sit
here
tonight,
this
is
our
fourth
meeting
in
two
weeks,
which
I
think
is
actually
unprecedented,
and
you
all
are
probably
aware
that
we
amended
our
rules
of
counsel
at
the
beginning
of
this
year.
Over
the
course
of
time,
we
learned
that
we
could
participate
virtually
effectively,
and
so,
when
we
amended
our
rules,
we
allow
now
everyone
to
participate
at
committees
virtually
and
many
of
our
committees
meet
only
virtually.
We
talked
about
that
today.
D
So
I
mean
it
allowed
us,
so
I
mean
good
good
on
y'all
and
so
what
I'm
sort
of
asking
you
all
without
taking
a
vote
on
it,
whether
or
not
you
would
be
willing
to
consider
allowing
now
that
we've
got
the
technology,
us
a
council
to
at
least
one
or
two
times
a
year
without
penalty
or
having
to
show
that
we're
sick
participate.
Virtually
and
look.
We
all
want
to
be
around
this
table.
I
do
in
the
12
years
I've
been
here.
D
D
If
you
have
heartburn
with
that,
I
would
never
ask
our
staff
to
particip
prepare
something
like
that,
but
if
you
all
think
that's
something
you'd
be
willing
to
consider,
I
think
I
would
ask
our
legal
staff
to
put
something
on
paper,
bring
it
to
you
all
for
consideration
and
vote,
but
don't
want
to
waste
anybody's
time.
So
that's
my
pitch
for
tonight
and
would
love
to
see
a
little
brief
amendment
on
that.
If
we
could
do.
J
J
J
If
there
was
something
in
person
that
you
know,
I
think
that's
a
reasonable
combination,
because
it's
not
1821
it's
not
just
the
peninsula.
We're
not.
You
know,
farming,
the
field
during
the
day
and
coming
back
on
our
horses
later
on.
You
know
this
is
this
is
2022,
and
so
we
should
be
able
to
utilize
the
technology
effectively,
since
we
don't
do
proxy
votes
and
nor,
nor
do
I
think
we
should
it's
an
appropriate
way
for
council
members
to
be
involved,
even
if
they
can't
be
physically
present.
F
This
is
before
we
had
our
zoom
capability
and
I
think
that
there
are
often
there
are
going
to
be
times
and
opportunities
in
which
we
could
be
called
away
like
councilmember
brady
is
mentioning
about,
or
casablanca
has
mentioned
about.
As
long
as
we
give
advanced
notice
of
this,
this
may
be
a
good
opportunity
and
we
get
a
maybe
one
or
two
per
calendar
year
pass,
I
guess
from
being
here
presently
physically.
F
I
will
tell
you
that
the
meeting
we
had
this
afternoon
with
real
estate
was
a
breath
of
fresh
air,
because
when
we
were
on
this
virtual
meetings,
we
were
not
able
to
really
interact
with
one
another
and
I
think
we're
missing
something.
So
as
soon
as
we
get
back
to
in-person
committee
meetings
of
the
better,
I
know
that's
an
inconvenience
for
a
lot
of
folks.
I
have
the
luxury
of
being
right
here
on
broad
street
and
walk
across
the
street,
and
you
know
I
understand
that,
but
also
I
think
it
just.
F
A
There's
nothing
preventing
us
from
starting
to
have
in-person
committee
meetings
again.
I
think
I'm
going
to
ask
the
committee
chairs
to
make
that
call
if
they
want
to
try
it
and
proceed
as
we
did
this
afternoon.
It's
funny
you
mentioned
councilmember
lewis,
and
you
know
pre-covert.
This
whole
discussion
would
have
been
blasphemous
right.
A
It
would
not
even
have
been
tolerated,
but
the
the
world
has
changed
a
little
bit
and
things
are
more
easily
virtual
and
and
so
some
consideration,
I
think,
should
be
given
particularly
for
meeting
special
meetings
workshop
meetings
that
weren't
on
the
calendar
when
we
started
the
year.
So
if
it,
if
it
pleases
counsel,
we'll
come
back
to
something
to
you
with
a
rule
change
for
consideration,
councilmember,
where.
D
Yeah
and
I'm
not
anti
being
together,
I
think
it's
great,
but
as
councilmember
brady
pointed
out,
there's
just
times
where
you
physically
can't
be
here
and
we
shouldn't
exclude
people
from
having
their
voices
hurt.
So
I
mean
I
I'm
with
you
all.
I
think
we
should
get
back
together
as
often
as
we
can,
and
in
the
rare
instance
that
we
can't
be
here,
we
should
be
able
to
participate
because
technology
has
shown
that
it
works
even
from
three
four
five:
six,
seven
time
zones
away.
So
right.
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
so
I
joined
the
discussion
we
had
with
tracy
councilmember
wearing
parker,
and
I
were
on
on
that.
Zoom
call
and
I
was
just
a
little
concerned
with
the
I
guess,
the
lack
of
speed
that
we're
moving
with
this.
I
know
that
the
south
carolina
general
assembly
has
passed
their
redistricting
lines.
F
F
I
was
a
little
concerned
with
some
of
the
proposed
district
lines
that
I
saw
because
we
pitted,
I
think
one
or
two
of
those
alternatives.
Other
councilmembers
would
run
against
one
another.
One
of
them
had
me
going
all
the
way
over
to
to
gain
hawaii
and
daniel
island,
and
the
logic
of
that
was
just
well
beyond
mine.
I
understand
we
made
a
lot
of
progress
since
that
meeting
that
we've
had.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
still
progressing
on
on
that
path.
F
I'm
not
going
to
push
right
now
on
any
idea
of
a
special
ad
hoc
committee,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction
on
this.
Our
citizens
deserve
to
know
who
their
representatives
are.
Councilor
brady
has
brought
up
several
times
to
me
that
he
represents
two-thirds
of
the
city
of
spartanburg.
F
If,
if
and
so
the
people
of
john's
island
people
on
daniel
island
need
to
know
who
the
representatives
are,
they
have
been
under-represented
long
enough
and
with
the
population
shift
that
we're
having
out
of
west
ashley
is
going
to
pick
up
a
bunch
of
new
residents
in
the
immediate
future.
I
met
with
taylor
busch
yesterday
and
long
savannah's
on
the
fast
track,
and
I
just
see
how
that's
going
to
increase
our
population
now
in
that
area
with
councilmember,
schiele
and
bowdoin,
and
that's
and
brady
I'll
have
another
explosion
coming
really
soon.
F
So
I
just
want
to
get
this.
The
purpose
of
putting
this
on
the
agenda
tonight
was
just
to
express
my
little
frustration
with
where
we
were
going
with
it.
I
understand
we're
making
some
progress.
So,
let's
see
where
we
are
in
the
next
30
to
60
days-
and
I
may
come
back
when
we
do
this-
I
may
just
let
it
die
on
the
vine.
A
K
I
understand
what
most
people
are
talking
about,
but
we
we
met
a
couple
of
council
members
in
the
peninsula
and
we
met
and
we
are
working
hardly
on
this
and
I
think
we
are
coming
to
some
conclusions
with
the
redistricting.
Normally
we
were
trying
to
keep
as
many
minority
districts
as
we
possibly
can.
K
That
was
one
of
the
biggest
issue
that
we
were
talking
about
and
we
voted
here
on
council
to
do
that,
which
is
going
to
be
very
hard
to
do
very,
very
hard
to
do,
but
we
have
to
do
the
best
we
can
with
it,
and
so
this
is
why
we
met
the
four
of
us
smith,
who
was
on
the
peninsula
itself.
I
was
in
daniel's
island
at
one
time,
right
from
where
I
live
on
king
street,
I
had
to
go
to
daniel's
island.
I
represent
daniel's
island
ken
howard
independence.
A
K
A
K
That
many
houses,
but
now
they
have
grown
so
much
over
there.
You
know
the
justice
department
moved
me
out
of
that
that
area,
but
if
you
don't
have
a
justice
department
involved
anymore
and
that's
when
they
moved
me
down
to
mazique
ragsbar,
you
know,
but
you
know
we
are
working
on
it
and
I
think
we
are
coming
close
to
some
kind
of
conclusion.
I
think
mr
cosman
seeking
we're
getting
we're
getting
close.
I
think
we're
getting
close
and
something
pretty
soon
and.
D
K
K
So
we're
we're
gonna,
we
are
making
some
headway
and
we
have
not
crossed
any
other
districts
in
anyone
else's
district.
We
have
not
so
we
are
not
merging
with
someone
else
district,
including
in
them,
and
running
against
naw.
We're
not
doing
that
we're
trying
to
stay
away
with
from
those
things
and
cosmic
seekings
itself
is
taking
some
big
hit.
If
we
go
the
way
that
we're
going,
you
know,
I
mean
some
big
challenges
you're
taking,
so
I
implore
them
on
that.
K
This
is
my
third
reapportionment,
so
I've
been
through
it
many
times
and
I've
been
through
it
one
evening
when
my
district
was
merged
with
the
nova
district
and
that's
when
I
bought
other
councils,
district
3
was
merged
with
another
district,
so
we
already
had.
We
already
played
with
those
two
districts
before
and
I'm
not
going
to.
Let
this
say
again
because
I'm
not
going
to
let
that
happen
then
go
through
it
again
like
that.
I
think.
B
K
Don't
think
it's
right,
you
know
so
you
said
it
wrong
here,
but
you
got
to
remember
that
things
happen,
but
those
two
districts
have
already
been
through
that
before
merging
together
and
another
councilman
had
to
pull
out
right
from
district
3
and
district
4.,
so
it
could
happen
someone
else's
too.
You
know
it
happened
before
so
I'm
just
saying
we're
gonna
do
the
best
we
can
with
it
and
and
people
are
fighting
us
in
the
community
but
they're
looking
for
the
minority.
Did
you
do
this?
K
I
don't
know,
and
we
don't
know
what's
gonna
happen
with
the
with
the
different
partners
that
we
are
talking
about
with
the
borders
of
coalition
of
buddhist
participation.
What
they're
going
to
say
we
don't
know
what
the
naacp
going
to
say.
We
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
to
the
legal
voters,
what
they're
going
to
say
when
the
lines
are
drawn,
so
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts.
That's
going
to
be
in
that
going
through
that,
once
the
lines
are
even
drawn
up
when
we
come
to
a
consensus
of
their
lies.
K
I
K
You
looked
at
it
and
talked
about
that,
but
if
a
district
is,
if
you
add
one
district,
you
have
to
add
two
so
because
to
have
all
districts
that
you
have
to
have
a
odd
one
to
the
american,
be
the
odd
person
there,
because
the
mayor's
also
a
part
of
our
council,
so
you're
going
to
have
to
have
14
and
you'll
be
the
15th
person
you
know.
So
that's
the
way
you
have
to
be
done.
K
C
Councilmember
waring,
our
staff
who've
been
doing
a
great
job
on
this
tracy
and
her
team's
been
doing
a
great
job
on
this.
If
you
remember,
we
as
a
council
delayed
that
process
until
after
the
november
elections,
and
then
we
ended
up
with
a
special
election,
and
certainly
we
wanted
to
wait
until
after
the
special
election.
So,
mr
greg,
we
now
know
mr
great,
can
also
participate
in
that
process.
A
J
J
That
includes
the
fleming
road
sidewalk
and
the
municipal
golf
course
crossing,
which
is
someone
who's
prayed
that
my
golf
cart
doesn't
die
when
I'm
crossing
maybank
highway
between
nine
and
ten.
You
know
that
it's
precarious
but
that'll,
be
a
hawk
signal,
and
so
hopefully
that
will
bring
some
relief
to
the
pedestrians.
J
That
project
is
between
island
park,
drive
and
river
landing
drive.
The
notice
to
proceed
was
issued
on
february
1st.
There
was
a
pre-construction
meeting
last
week
and
they
are
ready
to
proceed
with
installation.
I
thank
you
for
passing
that
at
ways
and
means
item
c,
which
I
would
ask,
and
I
would
so
move-
is
the
pedicab
ordinance.
J
J
K
D
D
We
knew
we
restored
them
where
they
would
be
a
solicitation
went
out.
There
was
a
number
of
people
who
bid
for
who
bid
on
the
ability
to
bid
on
the
new
six
medallions.
There
was
inspections
made
to
see
whether
or
not
they
had
storage
facilities
in
place
before
we
actually
put
the
bids
out
and
two
of
the
people
did
not
have
storage
facilities,
so
the
bid
was
effectively
thrown
out.
My
vote
against
this
was
that
we've
said
the
two
failed
bidders
put
on
their
applications
that
they
had
storage
facilities
and
they
didn't
so.
D
I
voted
against
this
because
I
didn't
think
we
should
reward
someone
in
that
instance.
Now
is
it
a
huge
deal?
Is
it
the
end
of
the
earth
and
world
that
we
allow
someone
who's
competitively
bidding
to
get
in
business,
small
business
on
the
peninsula
of
charleston
to
fill
in
some
of
the
blanks
before
they
actually
get
on
the
street?
D
It's
not,
and
we
can
certainly
do
that,
but
I
don't
see
that
the
two-week
gap
that
we
allow
between
time,
the
medallions
are
are
awarded
and
ultimately
issued,
really
gives
anybody
that
great
an
opportunity
that
they
didn't
already
have
to
put
the
infrastructure
in
place.
So
that's
was
sort
of
where
we
were
going
forward.
Did
I
sort
of
state
all
that
correctly
anyway?
We
need
those
six
more
medallions
on
the
streets.
I
believe
and
the
demand
is
out
there,
so
I
don't
want
to
get
in
the
way
of
that
happening.
B
K
K
Things
like
the
bicycles
and
stuff
like
this
too.
You
know
they'll
come
all
on
the
right
side
on
the
left
side
of
you,
the
bicycles
and
that
cause
problems
too,
because
you
can
hurt
someone
like
that
and
the
petty
cabs
they
be
in
the
middle
and
you
pull
out
they
pull
out
on
you.
You
know
this
with
the
bills
like
the
cars
on
the
street,
the
traffic
wise
traffic
movement
so
tell
them
to
be
the
law,
because
my
head
is
kind
of
bad.
Sometimes
you
know
so.
D
A
That's
another
issue:
yes,
sir,
I
would
offer
that
it'll
probably
be
a
wash
on
the
staff
time.
You
know
we
we
won't
have
to
check
beforehand
whether
they
have
facilities
or
not.
So
you
just
will
assume
they
will
get
them
if
they
get
a.
You
know,
if
they're
the
successful
bidder,
so
you
only
have
to
check
those
who
are
successful
and
not
everybody.
So
maybe
we'll
save
time
on
that
I
mean
the
bottom
line.
A
Is
it
reduces
the
barrier
for
someone
who
wants
to
get
into
a
business
that
that
shouldn't
have
a
real
high
barrier?
If
some
small
guy
or
woman
wants
to
aspire
to
start
a
small
business,
you
know
they
wouldn't
have
to
rent
a
place,
not
knowing
whether
they're
going
to
be
awarded
the
contract
or
the
medallion
or
not.
A
I
Yes,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
you
know,
I
need
to
explain
my
no
vote
or
not,
but
really
it
was
just,
it
was
just
the
burden,
the
additional
burden
on
the
staff
and
the
the
two-week
lag
time
that
was
it
being
very
new
to
the
pedicab
industry.
It
was
just
explained
to
me
that
way-
and
I
understood
so
just
detail,
but
that's
why.
J
Brady,
yes-
and
I
would
just
add
clarification
and
like
to
call
the
question,
but
we've
done
adding
a
contingent
option
such
as
this
is
not
unusual.
We've
done
that
with
garbage
companies
before
when
a
new
company
has
come
forward,
we
would
make
signing
the
contract
contingent
on
getting
equipment
and
getting
it
up
and
running,
and
so
this
is
something
that's
been
normal
that
we've
been
able
to
do
before
with
much
larger
capital
outlays
that
the
companies
required
for
than
just
securing
the
storage
space.
A
A
C
Before
we
go
to
public
works,
I
do
have
a
request
of
tnt
if
they
could
maybe
bring
some
information
not
now,
maybe
in
two
weeks
or
push
it
out
to
me
on
these
golf
carts
and
where
they're
allowed
to
be
used
on
the
peninsula.
I've
got
now
believe
not
live
in
west
ashley.
I've
gotten
complaints
with
people
on
potential,
in
particular
in
the
corridor
that
council
member
seeking,
spoke
about
meeting
and
eugene
up
in
that
corridor.
C
F
A
D
A
C
All
right
good!
Thank
you
miss
mr
mayor.
You
see
on
your
agenda
where
we
had
a
one
and
a
two
the
low
battery.
I
don't
want
to
speed
through
it,
but
it's
magnanimous
the
way
that
project
was
envisioned
years
ago,
but
and
it's
less
than
100
000
over
from
change
orders.
I
I've
never
seen
that
before,
but
that's
happening
in
our
city
right
now
and
all
involved
needs
to
be
commended
on
that.
That
was
moved
and
approved
unanimous.
C
A
C
D
A
C
Thank
you,
mr
men.
Those
who
are
not
part
of
the
real
estate
committee
really
didn't
miss
out
on
a
robust
conversation.
This
is
a
parcel
of
land
that
the
city
in
december
closed
on
adjacent
property
as
ten
times
larger
one
million
four
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand.
I
probably
at
the
time,
had
four
houses
on
it,
dilapidated,
albeit
and
that
price
was
predicated
on
four
houses,
plus
that
this
land
building
was
11.
Connington
was
sold
june,
25th
to
2019
for
650
000..
C
In
less
than
three
years
we
have
contracted
to
buy
that.
Well,
if
we
were
to
sign
this,
we
contracted
to
buy
this
building
for
1.3
million,
which
would
be
a
price
of
over
100
valuation
of
over
100
percent
of
value
in
less
than
a
three-year
these
dollars
that
we
have
for
affordable
housing
and
for
the
frankly
people
who
need
a
second
chance
or
need
a
leg
up
our
precious
dollars.
C
We
would
be
paying
almost
400
a
square
foot
for
property
that
we
still
have
to
renovate
for
the
needs
that
we
have.
When
I
looked
at
the
appraised
value,
the
appraised
value
had
four
comparables
in
it.
One
was
ile
hall:
three
of
them
were
on
either
meeting
street,
fronted
on
either
meeting
street
or
morrison
drive,
which
is
certainly
a
much
more
premium
location
than
the
location.
C
That's
surrounded
on
three
sides
by
graveyards,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
rolled
up
there
and
took
a
look
at
it,
but
I
think
you
should
go
up
and
take
a
look
at
it.
If
you
didn't.
My
motion
at
city
council
was
to
simply
defer
this,
so
we
can
try
to
negotiate
a
better
price.
I
even
further
said
mr
rush.
C
C
C
She
had
a
property
line
and
the
appraiser
said
we're
not
going
to
use
that
confidence
and
just
the
mathematics
of
it.
If
we,
if
he
were
to
use
that
comp,
it
would
lower
the
value
for
the
bills,
so
you
go
far
away
and
get
appraisals
get
compromised
elsewhere.
You
know,
I
didn't
really.
I
learned
this
up
at
carolina.
C
C
C
That's
what's
being
done
here
now
in
the
committee
meeting,
mr
mayor,
with
all
due
respect,
I
pointed
out
that
you
have
a
conflict
of
interest.
You
said
you
didn't,
you
cannot
be
the
arbiter
of
whether
you
have
a
conflict
of
interest
or
not.
You
can't
and
the
reason
we
have
these
conflicts
of
interest
rules
is
because
it
can.
If
you
have
a
conflict
and
you
debate
the
issue,
you
can
cloud
and
influence
the
issue
and
never,
as
I
say,
it
was
a
robust.
A
C
Now,
if
we
have
family
members
in
business
with
people
who
selling
property
to
the
city,
I
can't
participate
in
as
a
matter
of
fact,
not
only
I
can't
participate
in
a
discussion.
I
have
to
walk
out
the
room,
while
all
of
you
all
debated,
and
hopefully,
as
I
prayed
for
the
best
of
your
intellect
in
particular,
and
particularly
for
those
who
are
less
than
springs
forth
for
the
betterment
of
the
city.
C
C
If
somebody
else
wants
that
building,
let's
let
them
have
it,
we
need
to
take
the
1.3
million
and
put
it
towards
the
primary
objective
towards
building
a
new
structure.
That's
designed
for
the
purposes
we
needed,
as
opposed
to
taking
a
building
that
was
upfitted
frankly
for
the
real
estate
company
and
at
the
day's
meeting
you
I'm
sure
you,
along
with
I,
have
a
nice
colored
drawing
that
was
put
on
our
desk.
C
We
can
do
better
by
those
people
is
what
I'm
saying
we
can
do
better
by
the
homeless.
Out
there
that's
trying
to
get
a
leg
up.
We
do
not
need
to
overpay
on
properties;
frankly,
it's
not
designed
for
the
express
purposes.
So
for
those
reasons
I
just
don't
see
how
it
hurts
the
city
to
try
and
negotiate
a
better
price.
C
So
through
council,
through
city
real
estate
committee
meeting,
it
went
through
on
a
divided
vote.
I
don't
think
a
lot
of
information
was
provided
to
some
of
the
members
you
voted
on
mr
mayor
and
I'm
gonna
ask
respectfully
I
can
get
our
counsel
to
come.
We
can
get
the
legal
counsel
to
come
to
the
microphone,
but
I
think
that's
a
clear
conflict
again.
Like
I
said
I
didn't
know
it
until
a
quick
check
of
the
secretary
of
state
showed
that
who's.
B
C
Registrar
that
caught
that
llc,
that
we
know
so
trying
to
buy
this
property
from.
But
I
look
forward
to
trying
to
talk
to
the
principals
of
that
corporation
and
attempt
to
lower
the
price
and
if
they
can't,
then
I
think
we
apply
those
dollars
much
much
better.
On
behalf
of
those
that
the
people
that
we're
trying
to
help.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
thank
you,
and
I
would
respectfully
ask
council
now
that
this
matter
has
come
up
in
such
detail
that
we
asked
ms
gianna
johnson
to
come
forward
and
make
a
presentation,
as
she
did
at
the
real
estate
committee,
and
I
would
like
to
for
council
to
be
aware
of
of
the
decision
that
was
made
at
that
meeting
this
afternoon.
So
I
want
you
to
have
all
the
information.
C
A
A
C
C
C
A
C
A
D
D
I
think
when
it
was
separated
out
and
the
committee
report
coming
out
from
ways
and
means,
there's
now
been
a
motion
to
defer,
put
on
the
floor
that
I
think
needs
to
be
addressed
before
there's
any
presentation
that
needs
to
be
heard
any
further,
and
I
see
my
legal
counsel
in
stereo
nodding.
Yes,
so
I
think
that
motion
needs
to
get
a
second
and
then
be
voted
on,
and
then
we
can
go
from
there.
Second.
A
L
A
D
A
G
G
You
know
if
I'm,
if
I'm
trying
a
case,
and
I
want
to
point
to
somebody
else's
having
done
it,
I
need
evidence
of
that
more
than
just
a
bare
suspicion,
which
is
kind
of
what
I'm
hearing
right
now,
and
so
I
I
sort
of
wish
the
legwork
would
have
been
done
before
this
to
flush
this
out
a
little
bit.
But
I'd
like
to
hear
it
all
now,
since
it's
all
since
this
has
all
been
brought
up,
I
think
that's
well.
D
And
good,
but
I
have
one
other
question
because
I
don't
think
get
out
reported
out
and
it
might
be
my
failing
as
chairman
of
ways
and
means
when
we
took
the
real
estate
report
from
council
member
appel.
I
don't
think
it
was
reported.
What
the
vote
out
of
real
estate
was
on
this
matter
to
defer.
So
if
we
can
at
least
get
that
on
the
record
and
report
to
council
what
that
vote
was
because
I
don't
think
that
was
reported
out.
Am
I
right
about
that?.
A
Right
so
the
matter
before
you
to
consider
whether
to
defer
or
not
is
to
approve
a
contract
purchase
a
piece
of
property
at
11
huntington
avenue.
It's
an
office
building
the
building
is
almost
as
big
as
the
parcel
itself.
I
think
the
finished
space
is
somewhat
over
31
square
feet
of
finished
office
space.
A
A
That's
pertinent,
because
this
building
can
be
utilized
for
the
purposes
we
need
it
for
for
moving
the
navigation
center
to
this
location
and
to
be
able
to
do
it
in
a
timely
manner.
We
currently
have
enjoyed
a
wonderful
lease
of
the
property
down
at
529
meeting
street,
but
our
our
lease
is
month
to
month
and
the
the
owner
would
like
to
redevelop
the
property
he
hadn't
given
us
notice
to
leave
yet,
but
we
we
know
his
intentions
are
to
re,
develop
the
property.
A
We've
asked
him
over
the
years
whether
he
would
sell
it
to
us,
but
he
prefers
to
redevelop
it.
So
we
need
an
office
component
for
what
we
do
at
529
and
that's
what
we
could
buy
now
and
basically
at
a
moment's
notice,
so
to
speak
if
he
were
to
move
us
out
of
the
property.
We'd
we'd
have
a
place
to
relocate
and
we'd
like
to
go
ahead,
and
do
that
so
I
mean
I,
I
get
the
point
that
you're
questioning
about
the
value
of
the
appraisal.
A
I
I'm
not
an
appraiser,
I
I
believe
the
gentleman
who
did
the
appraisal
to
be
of
high
integrity
and
that
he
gave
us
his
honest
opinion
on
the
appraisal.
In
fact,
ms
johnson
confirmed
that
today
that
he
stands
by
his
appraisal
that
property's
worth
1.3
million
dollars.
I
pointed
out
earlier
today
that
without
the
appraisal
in
hand,
in
fact,
the
property
owners
had
requested
that
we
give
them
more
money
than
1.3
million
and
when
we
got
the
appraisal
done,
we
fact
at
them
to
agree
to
the
appraised
price.
A
So
some
negotiation
already
occurred.
Yes,
the
property
is
right
next
to
property
that
we
own,
which
is,
which
is,
I
think,
not
just
convenient,
but
very
beneficial
to
the
city
that
we
can
accomplish
what
we
want
to
with
the
with
the
hope
center.
We
now
will
call
it
the
hope
center
rather
the
navigation
center
and
try
to
preserve
as
much
of
the
property
for
affordable
housing
development
as
possible.
A
A
A
They
are
a
tenant
of
the
llc.
So
when
the
property
sells,
my
son
gets
no
benefit
or
proceeds
from
the
sale
of
the
property
only
the
llc
will,
which
includes
mr
clement
and
mr
coleman.
So
I
mentioned
that
this
this
afternoon
that
the
real
impact
on
my
son
would
be
the
inconvenience
of
having
to
move
his
office
when
they
find
other
quarters
somewhere
else,
but
I
am
not
related
to
the
owners.
A
B
A
You
know
if
you
have
some
interest
in
any
matter
that
comes
before
the
council,
and
so
you've
got
to
be
first
in
line
to
make
that
decision.
Gee.
Do
I
have
an
economic
interest
in
this
matter
or
not
so
councilmember
waring?
Yes,
it's
absolutely
up
to
all
of
us
individuals
to
make
those
determinations.
Now,
if
you
don't
agree
with
me,
if
you
have
knowledge
otherwise,
you're,
certainly
free
to
make
a
complaint
to
the
state
ethics
commission
and
say
well,
gee,
I
have
a
floor
right
now.
A
A
As
I
mentioned,
we
want
to
save
any
any
real
estate
that
we
can.
You
know
for
affordable
housing
in
the
future.
I
did
look
at
the
appraisal
just
now
councilmember
and
there
were
four
comps.
I
did
not
see
the
ila
hall
as
being
one
of
the
four
comps.
I
see
716
meeting
street
1149
march
and
drive,
which
is
nearby,
but
it
is
a
two-story
brick
building
a
property
on
north
hanover
street
and
1114
marston
drive.
I
I
Why
wouldn't
it
have
been
disclosed?
Even
if
there's
no
economic,
you
know
you're
not
receiving
anything
or
your
son.
Isn't
just
the
council
member
appel.
I've
noticed
there
have
been
situations
where
you
have
excused
yourself
yourself
from
some
situations.
Is
that
because
you
didn't
have
an
economic
interest
or
just
it
was
you
knew
somebody
or
didn't
know
them?
So
you
I'm
sorry
to
put
you
on
the
spot.
I
just
said.
G
I
sometimes
I
have
clients
that
I
represent
say
in
mount
pleasant
that
are
doing
business
in
the
city
of
charleston.
I
can't
vote
on.
You
know
a
situation
where
they're
trying
to
get
a
piece
of
property
other
times
I've
had
situations
where
I've
had
familial
interests.
So,
for
example,
when
the
morrissocal
properties
came
for
us
to
be
rezoned,
I
can't
I
can't
vote
on
that,
even
though
I
can
promise
you,
I
am
not
seeing
any
dollars
and
cents
from
that.
G
I
wish
it
was
I'm
sorry
mom
if
you're
watching,
but
in
any
rate,
there's
a
variety
of
different
reasons,
but
but
I
do
think
the
mayor
is
is
right.
I
mean
I
do
think
that,
under
my
understanding
of
south
carolina's
ethics
act,
it's
it's.
The
responsibility
of
each
of
us
to
you
know,
identify
those
situations
when
there
is
a
conflict
and
be
able
to
raise
your
hand
and
pull
the
cord.
G
G
I
Sorry
and
again,
sorry
to
jump
in
front
of
you,
but
it's
just
I
I
the
the
the
the
conflict
of
interest.
You
know
I
I
cl
clearly
there's
some
something
there
that
you
know
beyond
with
without
mr
you
know
councilmember
where
I'm
bringing
that
to
my
attention.
I
would
not
have
known
that
otherwise,
so
I
I
think
it.
That
is
why
I
seconded
your
motion
to
defer,
because
I
think
there
needs
to
be
discussion.
F
So
you
cannot
expand
anything
to
the
rear
part
of
this
building.
It's
on
a
corner,
our
property.
The
city's
property
will
be
on
the
left-hand
side
and
across
the
street,
are
the
other
cemeteries
out
there
in
this
general
area,
I'm
having
honestly
a
rough
time
getting
my
hands
around
a
building
at
3,
000
square
feet,
a
story
and
a
half
worth
in
this
location,
1.3
million
dollars.
I
mean
this
just
doesn't
make
sense.
I
read
the
appraisal
twice.
I
went
over
it
twice.
F
I
looked
at
the
comparables,
I
did
we
did
the
math
council
boyd
went
over
as
well,
it's
400
a
square
foot
if
you
break
it
down
in
that
category,
the
money
that
we
have
for
affordable
housing
is
is
limited
and
it's
precious.
We
are
stewards
of
the
public
funds.
I've
talked
to
giona
about
this.
She
made
a
presentation
for
us.
F
F
I
think
perhaps
a
better
part
of
valor
on
this
is
to
defer
it
this,
let's
regroup
on
it
a
little
bit
and
take
another
look
at
it.
I
know
that
the
contract
that
we
would
sign
gives
us
a
due
diligence
period,
but
perhaps
maybe
we
should
just
look
at
this
in
a
different
prism
than
what
we're
looking
at
it
right
now.
Let's
refer
it.
Let's
come
back
to
it
in
a
couple
of
weeks
to
see.
F
B
G
G
Why
can't
we,
you
know,
agree
to
defer
it
and
then
order
two
additional
appraisals
and
then
get
back
to
this
at
the
next
council
meeting,
make
sure
those
appraisals
come
in
as
someone
that
lives
in
that
that
area.
I
don't
think
these
appraisals
are
our
that
initial
appraisal
is
going
to
be
out
of
whack.
I
know
sticker
shock,
but
the
values
of
that
area
have
gone
up
significantly.
The
past
at
least
the
past
year.
So
with
two
additional
appraisals
that'll
give
us
something
to
to
compare
apples
to
apples.
D
D
I
don't
think
unless
councilmember
waring
accepts
an
amendment
to
having
two
appraisals
before
it
comes
back
to
us
that
that's
gonna
happen,
but
we
can
make
it
happen
in
no
short
order,
because
we
can
get
this
back
on
ways
and
means
and
councilmember
gregory
will
be
back
so
he
can
deal
with
it.
We
can
get
it
back.
We
can
get
it
back
in
two
weeks,
so
I
I
just
I'm
right
about
the
procedure
on
that.
Am
I
not
okay,
so
I
don't
know
councilman.
C
C
Again,
I'm
getting
back
to
the
conflict,
you
eloquently
explain
your
son's
rule,
but
you
you
admit
it
that
your
son's
partner
partners
would
profit
from
this.
It
is
he's
not
making
a
profit
you're,
not
making
a
profit,
but
your
son's
partner
is
making
a
profit.
You
say
he's
a
tenant
in
the
building,
but
he's
in
partnership
with
at
least
mr
clement.
I
don't
know
about
the
other
gender,
so
you
don't
think
it's
a
conflict.
C
C
C
L
I
don't
believe
that
the
the
conflict
of
interest
laws
and
state
ethics
laws
are,
if
I
recall
correctly,
presuppose
that
a
conflict
arises
when
the
person
who
is
voting
or
participating
in
the
vote
is
him
or
herself
to
receive
some
sort
of
benefit
from
the
outcome
and
then
there's
a
list
under
the
state
ethics
laws
of
other
people.
Besides
that
person
him
or
herself
who
may
be
receiving
a
benefit
as
a
result
of
the
vote,
mother,
father,
sister,
whole
host
of
other
folks,
that
will
have
a
benefit
conferred
upon
them.
