28
2023
y'all,
it's
a
fun
day
in
the
city
Charleston,
because
it's
ranky
tanky
day.
F
H
Erg
and
to
everyone
in
the
room,
it's
just
a
huge
honor
once
again,
as
always
to
represent
the
culture
and
spread
the
spirituality
of
this
culture
around.
We
we
talk
about
it,
a
lot.
It's
not
a
it's,
not
a
gospel
ban.
It's
not
a
church
band,
because
this
is
an
honest
effort
to
celebrate
this
music
in
a
secular
way,
but
not
forgetting
or
forsaking,
it's
spiritual
content.
So
we
really
appreciate
all
of
you
for
being
here.
H
For
not
embarrassing
the
culture
while
we're
on
the
road
so,
but
we
we
sincerely.
Thank
you
for
your
thoughts
and
prayers.
Our
travels
have
been
wonderful,
no
dangers
and
it's
because
of
the
prayers
of
people
and
it's
because
of
the
prayers
of
the
people
at
home.
So
we
really
appreciate
everything.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
thank
you
again.
I
must,
on
a
personal
note,
say
that
even
though
I've
never
played
with
them
as
ranky-tanky
I've
had
the
honor
of
sitting
in
from
time
to
time
with
everyone
behind
me
and
it's
just
a
personal
honor
that
y'all
have
been
so
successful
and
Quentin
is
right.
It's
really
a
spiritual
experience
to
listen
to
ranky-tanky.
It's
truly
a
spiritual
experience.
Y'all
have
captured
something
really
unique
and
special
about
the
low
country
in
this
city
and
beyond.
All
that.
How
about
that
sweet
grass
had
he's,
got.
A
So
next
I'd
like
to
recognize
the
City
of
Charleston
2022
employees
of
the
Year,
Shamika,
Hicks
and
Troy
Williams
will
y'all
please
come
forward
and
join
me
at
the
podium,
and
this
has
taken
y'all
from
the
nomination
letter
that
they
had
for
our
customer
service
initiative.
For
those
of
you
that
don't
know,
and
maybe
you'll
think
about
this
in
the
future.
When
you
encounter
a
city,
employee,
who's,
doing
a
remarkable
job.
A
We
accept
applications
for
customer
service
initiatives
by
our
employees
and
and
those
nominations
are
made
by
fellow
employees
who
feel
like
their
fellow
employee
really
did
a
good
job
and
helped
something
along
and
also
by
citizens
as
well
and
every
quarter.
We
recognize
outstanding
initiative
by
our
employees
to
give
good
customer
service,
but
at
the
end
of
the
year
we
pick
out
a
very
special
employee,
in
this
case
two
who
did
a
just
a
remarkable
job
in
some
aspect
of
customers
service
and
from
their
nomination
letter
submitted
by
Sarah
Stern
in
August.
A
During
a
week
of
incessant
rain,
Shamika
Hicks
and
Troy
Williams
were
driving
to
one
of
the
recreation
department
playground
locations
while
driving.
They
passed
a
man
standing
on
the
sidewalk
a
little
while
later
on
the
way
back.
They
saw
the
man
lying
on
the
ground
partially
in
the
street,
with
his
face
in
a
puddle
of
water,
and
they
immediately
stopped
and
ran
to
help
him.
They
were
able
to
move
him
out
of
the
street
his
face
out
of
the
puddle
of
water,
and
he
was
somewhat
conscious.
A
It
was
clear
that
the
man
was
experiencing
a
medical
emergency.
They
called
for
EMS
were
able
to
flag
down
a
passing
police
officer.
They
stayed
with
of
him
until
EMS
arrived.
Thankfully,
Shamika
and
Troy
were
aware
of
their
surrounding
Spirit
no
time
whatsoever
in
jumping
into
action
to
help
a
fellow
citizen.
They
did
not
share
their
story.
When
they
got
back
to
the
office,
they
simply
felt
they
were
doing
the
right
thing.
A
A
J
Thank
you:
oh
okay,
okay,
good
job,
good
job
to
mid-techlinburg
to
council.
We
thank
you
for
allowing
us
and
being
able
to
do
what
we
do.
We
enjoy
it.
We
have
a
lot
of
good
times
and
we
have
a
hard
time
but
I
think
God
for
everything
that
goes
on
to
my
friend
Edward
Jones.
That
taught
us
a
whole
lot
in
Recreation
too.
I
can't
say
enough
about
him.
K
K
I
didn't
intend
to
do
this,
but
I
love
my
job
and
I
love,
my
kids
and
what
our
kids
in
this
community.
If
they
don't
have
nobody
strong
that
is
willing
to
look
out
for
them,
then
then
go
nowhere.
So
thank
you,
Lori
for
hiring
me
19
years
ago,
I
appreciate
it
Edward
Jones.
That
is
also
my
cousin.
He
has
helped
me
a
lot
in
my
years.
Working
with
the
city.
K
He
has
helped
me
adjust
to
the
different
communities,
because
I
have
worked
every
last
single
park,
that
is
in
the
recreation
department.
I
am
familiar
with
all
the
faces
within
the
City
of
Charleston
Daniel's
Island
West
Ashley,
James
Allen.
So
thank
you
for
this
opportunity.
I
appreciate
it
and
I
look
forward
to
maybe
about
20
more
years.
I
Wearing
I
want
to
take
a
personal
privilege.
I
just
want
you
to
notice
that
St
Patrick's
Catholic
Church
was
in
the
house
Charlton.
Would
you
stand
up
and
the
bass
player
grew
up
in
St
Patrick's,
an
employee
of
the
year?
Actually
his
attendance
at
Patrick,
so
he
said,
Patrick's
Catholic
Church
is
a
talented
Church.
A
A
C
A
We
can
take
number
six
separately
as
well,
no
problem
so
a
minute
yeah.
Thank
you
all
right.
So
I
guess
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
That
would
take
number
one
number,
two,
through
five
and
seven
together
and
number
six
separately.
Second,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
posts,
the
odds
have
it
number
one
all.
M
Right,
thank
you.
Mr
Mayor
members
of
council,
okay,
we've
got
the
slides
here
and
you
all
should
have
had
access
to
the
slides
on
your
own
in
your
packages,
but
we
have
a
request
here
at
657,
6661
and
663
King
Street
to
change
an
area
that
is
six
story,
hike
district
and
also
a
four-story
hike
District
to
a
five-story
hike
District.
So
it's
taking
some
down
a
little
bit
lower
and
taking
some
areas
a
little
bit
higher
and
I'll
show
you
that
through
these
Maps
here,
this
is
also.
M
There
is
a
slight
difference
in
what
Planning
Commission
recommended,
which
is
a
25-foot
setback
for
the
start
of
the
five-story
district
from
King
Street
versus
the
applicants.
Request
of
20-foot
setback
fairly
minor,
but
it
I'll
explain
more
in
about
that
in
a
minute.
That's
what
that
little
note
is
about
so,
and
you
all
are
familiar
with
the
prime
property.
M
I
think
it's
at
the
corner
of
the
over
passes
for
I-26,
that
connect
I-26
to
the
Septima
Clark
Parkway
and
the
overpasses
are
over
King
Street,
it's
just
north
of
line
street.
It's
in
the
cannonborough
Elliott
Borough
neighborhood,
and
here
we
see
the
area
in
green.
That
is
proposed
to
go
from
the
four
to
five
story
district
and
then
the
area
in
blue.
M
M
This
is
just
the
the
one
difference
on
this
between
what
what
planning
competition
recommended
and
what
the
applicant
requested
is
that
difference
in
the
setback
of
the
fifth
Story.
The
tradition
of
this
area
of
King
Street
is
that
it
would
be
25
feet
back.
That's
what
staff
recommended
that's
what
Planning
Commission
endorsed
the
applicants
had
requested
a
20-foot
setback
instead
of
25
purely
mine.
M
N
O
O
So
as
Mr
Morgan
described
we're
basically
sort
of
leveling
off
the
site,
it's
right
now,
four
and
six.
We
want
to
bring
the
six
down
to
five
and
bring
a
little
bit
of
the
front
part
from
four
up
to
five.
All
in
all,
it's
a
net
sort
of
decrease
for
the
property
Planning
Commission
voted
unanimously
in
favor
of
it.
We,
the
applicant,
are
fine
with
the
25
foot
setback
that
staff
recommended
in
Planning
Commission
recommended.
O
P
This
is
a
under
the
planet
enabling,
like
I'm
gonna,
do
one
through
seven
an
interesting
time
in
the
rules
and
parliamentary
rules
and
procedures
of
decorum
I'm
gonna.
Just
do
this
blanketed
one
I'm
gonna
do
tonight,
because
we're
on
Google
YouTube
right
now
right
under
FCC,
230
Congress
identifies
all
corporations
from
third
party
speech
on
their
platform,
providing
18
law
enforcement
agencies,
Administration
and
enforcement
of
696
444
law
enforcement
offices
in
the
United
States
to
use
platforms,
to
observe
surveillance
and
fact-finding
that
can
conduct
indirect
initiatives
under
Planning
and
Zoning.
P
Basically,
these
local
zoning
owners
throughout
the
country,
eighteen
thousand
Apartments
out
the
country
this
month
as
well.
Okay,
they
can
do
interact
next
with
the
National
Police
and
Troopers
Association.
Commission
law
enforce
Agency
Inc,
which
I
made
public
comment
and
partnership
with
popular
faith-based
neighborhood
organizations
or
Department
of
Justice
and
Homeland
Security
and
sled.
So
because
of
the
the
zoning
ordinances
are
local,
the
Partnerships
come
and
all
these
are
land
use.
Zoning.
You
have
a
big
issue
with
people
that
are
unhoused
people
who
are
at
least
be
unhoused.
P
People
that
are
currently
unhoused
walking
around
in
neighborhoods
trespassing
and
force
can
be
used
on
them.
Based
on
these
facts,
that's
on
your
desk
right
there.
Okay,
that's
the
one
you're
dancing!
All
these
people
got
a
lot
of
money,
a
lot
of
power,
a
lot
of
wealth
and
they're
here
now,
and
they
don't
see
people
they're
invisible
to
them.
You
need
to
make
the
people
visible
from
one
to
seven.
That's
my
public
comment
overall
public
comment
and
my
sense
of
anticipation
have
a
nice
evening.
Thank.
A
A
O
Good
thanks
council
member
seekinges
So.
The
plan
is
to
do
basically
a
combination
of
a
of
an
accommodations
use,
a
hotel
use,
but
also
have
sort
of
more
apartment,
type,
short-term
rentals.
It's
already
zoned
for
this
use
and
we're,
of
course,
going
to
go
through
the
bza
process.
With
that
and
our
plan
that
we
will
present
to
the
bza
will
be
substantially
less
than
the
50
units
that
are
that
it's
currently
zoned
for
right
now
so
more
to
come
on
that
do.
O
A
So
speaking
of
the
use
I
remember
for
years,
the
site
was
the
parking
lot
for
the
for
the
tractor
trailers
from
David,
Jones,
Seafood
and
oftentimes.
You
could
pick
up
the
scent
of
shrimp
that
was
long
long
since
passed,
or
it
was
a
pretty
smelly
place,
but
so
I
hope
that
this
will
be
an
improvement
on
the
use
of
the
property.
Any
other
comments
questions
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
poets.
M
And
so
we
have
our
200
Magnolia,
which
is
a
recent
annexation
in
the
city.
It's
about
a
quarter
acre
lot.
It
would
come
in
the
city
as
Str
I'm.
Sorry,
this
is
not
a
recent
annexation.
Excuse
me,
this
is
it.
This
is
a
rezoning
here.
Excuse
me,
and
it
is
a
rezoning
from
single
family
residential
sr2
to
Str-
is
occasionally
used
in
this
neighborhood,
and
this
is
a
little
bit
larger
a
lot.
It
has
double
Frontage
or
low
landra,
and
the
request
is
for
the
SDR
designation.
M
Both
staff
and
Planning
Commission
did
endorse
this.
It
is
in
our
Suburban
designation
in
the
comprehensive
plan
and
we
all
felt
comfortable,
as
did
Planning
Commission,
with
this
request,
and
this
is
just
a
comparison.
It's
it's
a
slightly
higher
density,
but
given
the
size
of
the
law,
I
think
the
feeling
was
that
it
was
appropriate.
There.
M
Next
one
is
35
Riverdale,
and
this
is
a
recent
annexation.
It's
about
a
fourth
of
an
acre,
a
single
thing:
the
requested
zoning,
a
single-family
residential
sr2.
You
see
it
was
R4
in
Charleston,
County
and
there
it
is
in
West
Ashley
and
in
the
plan
it's
in
our
suburban
area,
and
that
is
come
on.
Planning
Commission,
of
course
recommended
for
that
as
well.
Then
we
have
1610
poinsettia
oops.
Here
we
go
1610
poinsettia,
which
is
a
recent
annexation.
M
It's
a
quarter
acre
lot
that
would
come
in
the
city
from
R4
in
the
county
to
sr1,
and
you
see
it's
adjacent
to
some
other
sr2s
in
the
city.
But
it's
a
little
bit
bigger
a
lot
over
here
and
we
have
it
in
the
Suburban
category
in
the
comp
plan
and
here's
an
image
of
the
property
and
Planning
Commission
recommended
for
that
as
well,
and
then
we've
got
222
Island
Drive,
which
is
also
in
West
Ashley
recent
annexation.
M
It's
a
non-tenths
of
an
acre
lot
and
it
would
come
into
the
city
as
sr1
and
there
you
see
an
image
of
it
there.
It
is
in
the
comp
plan.
It
is
in
our
low
impact
and
conserved,
however,
it
is
already
developed,
so
we
felt
comfortable
that
the
sr1
was
going
to
be
appropriate
in
this
location
and
that's
just
a
recommendation.
Low
impact
and
conserved
and
we've
got
Planning.
Commission
did
recommend
approval
and
this
one
and
then
the
next
one
is
number
six
which
is
1888
Raul
Wallenberg.
This
is
a
true
donut
hole.
M
It's
surrounded
on
all
sides
by
city
limits,
also
it's
surrounded
on
all
sides
by
General
business
zoning
and
it
has
a
commercial
use
on
the
property.
At
present,
we
will
show
you
it's
in
our
neighborhood
Edge
recommended
districts,
so
General
business,
given
the
surrounding
zonings
would
be
compatible
with
that
Mr
Mayor.
A
M
Seven
is
our
future
Park
site
on
John's
Island,
it's
known
as
the
Griffith
tract
it's
off
Maybank
Highway
in
one
of
our
Center
areas
that
are
designated
in
our
comprehensive
plan
for
John's
Island.
So
it's
a
very
well
located
park
has
large
borrow
Pits
on
it.
The
zoning
that's
recommended,
for
it
is
conservation,
zoning,
which
is
typically
what
we
like
to
Zone
our
Parks,
because
that's
the
most
appropriate
category.
M
So
we're
really
excited
to
bring
this
one
forward
and
I
think
you
all
are
familiar
with
it
and
it
was
in
our
Suburban
Edge
and
City
Center
designation.
Our
account
plan,
but
conservation
is
compatible
with
all
of
those
and
here's
just
an
image
from
the
street
and
Planning
Commission
did
recommend
approval
on
that.
A
Who
was
a
charlestonian
who
served
as
the
ambassador
to
Mexico
in
the
1820s,
and
he
discovered
he
was
a
botanist
as
well
and
discovered
this
beautiful
red
flowered
plant,
which
they
named
after
him,
the
poinsettia
there
we
go
okay,
so
the
items
that
we
currently
have
under
review
are
200
Magnolia,
Road,
75,
I'm,
sorry,
35,
Riverdale
drive,
1610,
poinsetta,
Road,
222,
Island,
Drive
and
311
Maybank
Highway.
Would
anyone
like
to
be
heard
on
any
of
those
items,
properties?
F
A
M
A
L
M
County
I
don't
have
down
what
we
had
it
in
the
County
I
think
it
would
have
been
a
cc,
probably
because
that
is
the
County's
closest
to
our
GB
and
again
it
has
a
commercial
use
on
it.
I'm
not
quite
sure
why
it
never
annexed
prior
to
this,
but
you
know
typically,
when
we've
got
so
much
stuff
around
a
particular
property.
That's
all
the
same
district.
We
bring
it
in
the
same
district,
I.
L
L
You
can
see
how
close
it
is
to
Ashley
River
Road
and
why
that
may
be
a
concern
to
me
in
my
past
comments
about
putting
apartments
and
condos
on
Ashley
River,
Road,
I,
I
guess
I
would
like
to
know
more
information
about
whether
they
could
have
done
that
under
their
current
zoning
in
Saint
Andrews.
If.
M
M
L
L
I
R
A
R
L
L
M
Commercial
districts
that
would
allow
the
type
of
you
know
uses
that
they've
had
here.
You
could
potentially
have
Community
transitional
CT,
but
that's
19
units
an
acre,
so
that
still
is
more
than
the
county,
and
then
you've
got
limited
business,
which
is
also
19
units,
an
acre.
Those
are
the
three
districts
that
really
would
be
compatible,
and
given
that
you
know
you've
got
other
GB
around
it.
Typically,
that's
something
we
shy
away
from,
because
we
try
to
make
the
districts
as
compatible
with
one
another
as
possible.
If
they're
similar
uses.
L
R
I
was
just
going
to
add
one
one
other
thing:
you
know
if,
if
you
Zone
that
a
different
designation
from
GB
and
it's
surrounded
by
GB
in
all
sides,
I
mean
one
could
argue
that
it's
a
spot
zoning
issue
as
well.
So
you
typically
try
to
avoid
that
in
zoning
practice
and
also
I
would
say
that
you
know
a
lot
goes
into
density
other
than
just
the
amount
of
units
that
are
allowed
per
acre.
R
I
mean
the
county
has
different
lot
coverage
requirements,
height
requirements,
setbacks,
I
mean
you'd,
really
have
to
study
the
site
and
compare
and
contrast
to
get
a
full
picture
of
what's
allowed
under
the
County's
regulations
versus
the
city's
regulations,
and
also
keep
in
mind.
We've
got
stronger
stormwater
regulations
than
they
do
that
develops
how
much
that
determines
how
much
of
a
site
can
be
developed.
So
it's
it's
it's
complicated,
but
I
would
generally
say
that
it's
a
it's
typically
easier
to
develop
in
the
county.
Their
zoning
ordinance
is
a
lot
more.
S
T
M
A
A
All
right
any
further,
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
approve
we
we
need,
we
need
one.
We
have
a
motion
to
prove
in
a
second
any
further
discussion
or
questions
all
in
favor.
Please
say
aye
aye
any
oppose
the
eyes.
Have
it
so
next
is
our
approval
of
city
council
minute
from
January
24th
council
member
shade.
N
We
go
to
that
just
a
comment
and
council
member
of
shealy
Council
of
awaren
were
present
with
me
when
we
had
this
presentation
and
I
know
that
Mr
Morgan's
very
much
involved
with
us
about
Ashley
Landing
and
regarding
just
the
exactly
type
of
zoning
that
is
allowed
to
include
residential
units.
I
think
this
is
why
we're
bringing
this
this
issue
up
to
the
Forefront
and
maybe
worthwhile,
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
social
media
traffic
on
this
issue
about
allowing
residential
units
in
a
commercial
area.
N
There's
a
lot
of
anxiety
about
this,
particularly
on
Ashley
Landing,
as
to
what
the
number
of
units
they
can
develop
over
there
we've
got
a
long
way
to
go
with
that
process,
but
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
out.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
have
that
discussion,
and
maybe
we
just
need
to
look
at
some
of
those
digital
commercial
zoning
rules
about
addressing
the
density
or
even
permitting
residential
units,
along
with
apartments
and
things
of
that
nature.
In
the
areas
of
West
Ashley.
I
Waring
I'd
like
to
follow
up
with
that.
If
you
all
remember
some
years
ago,
on
James
Island
behind
the
post
office
off
of
Central
Park
Road,
there
was
a
movie
theater
and
it
was
purchased.
It
was
on
GB,
and
you
know
the
number
of
apartments
that
went
in
there.
The
surrounding
neighbors
were
very
disenchanted
with
and
we
run
into
the
same
thing
with
the
same
location,
Pastor
town
landing
with
a
Publix
currently
is
now
all
right.
It's
going
to
go
away
and
I
think
278
units
come
in
there.
I
That's
a
lot
of
cars
in
that
little
shot,
block
I,
think,
there's
a
petition
right
now
circulating
and
that
and
they
really
don't
well,
it's
got
to
go
before
design
Corridor
review
bullets,
so
there's
some
oversight
there.
But
the
fact
is
by
right.
You
get
certain
amount
of
residential
units
in
GB
when
GB
is
granite.
In
most
cases,
people
are
not
thinking
about
hundreds
of
apartment
complexes
and
I.
Think
we
need
to
revisit
that
as
a
buy
right,
because
you
to
see
Neighbors
frustrated
that
they
have
no
say
so.
I
A
So
I
completely
agree,
or
are
you
you
if
I
may
elaborate
on
that,
just
a
little
bit
more
two
things
one
about
four
or
five
years
ago
we
went
through
an
exercise
city
council
with
the
Planning
Commission,
because
light
industrial
and
heavy
industrial
also
have
residential
entitlement
in
the
City
of
Charleston,
and
we
spend
hours
going
through
looking
at
each
individual
light
and
heavy
industrial
property
to
to
gauge
weather
they
ought
to
have
residential
entitlement
or
not.
Unfortunately,
for
my
view,
we
never
completed
that
exercise
and
that
change
never
occurred.
A
I
would
respectfully
say
that
we
should
look
at
that
again
when
we
do
our
zoning
update
over
the
next
year.
We've
hired
our
consultant
finally
to
help
us
with
that.
But
secondly,
let
me
suggest
this
to
council
because
you
bring
up
just
a
vital
excellent
point
and
it
affects
affordable
housing
as
well,
because
we
we've
got
this
big
number
out
there
for
General
business
26
units
per
acre.
So
if
you've
got
10
acres
of
land,
you
can
build
260
apartments
on
it
right
and
we're
not
requiring
a
single,
affordable
unit
on
it.
A
It's
it's
allowed
by
right
and
and
I
would
suggest
to
council
into
our
planning
department,
as
we
change
the
zoning
code
to
reduce
the
buy
right
ability
to
develop
residential
product
and
have
a
voluntary
zoning.
Just
like
we
have
mixed
use
that
if
someone
proposes
to
do
a
density
comparable
to
what's
allowed
Now
26
units
per
acre,
that
we
have
a
requirement
that
a
certain
number
of
those
units
are
affordable.
A
E
A
B
B
E
B
E
F
U
Yeah
Suzanne
Hardy
from
32
Prelude
Street
good
evening,
I
almost
said
good
morning.
I
know
you've
already
voted
on
this,
but
I
have
a
couple
of
comments
about
the
contract
for
the
assessment
of
the
racial
bias.
Audit
I
have
275
signed
petitions
they're
all
the
same,
so
you
don't
need
to
hand
them
out
they're
from
people
who
work
or
live
in
Charleston,
asking
that
this
go
to
public
safety
for
review
and
revision
which
you've
already
handled.
So
thank
you.
U
The
community
should
get
to
input
specifically
on
this
assessment.
The
community
should
get
to
input
as
to
who
and
how
they're
involved.
For
example,
an
online
survey
and
forums
conducted
by
CPD
is
not
going
to
engage
the
affected
community
and
if
we
don't
engage
the
effective
Community,
then
the
conclusions
that
come
from
that
are
not
going
to
be
credible
to
the
people
who
ask
for
this
review,
and
none
of
us
want
that.
We
all
want
this
to
work
for
all
of
us.
U
Additionally,
we
remain
concerned
that
the
party
hired
is
actually
not
independent
or
neutral,
having
already
been
working
with
CPD
on
the
current
audit,
which
lacks
data
and
any
connection
to
racial
disparities.
So
you
know
trust
can't
be
developed
if
we
don't
have
an
independent
assessor.
So
we
ask
you
to
look
at
that
again
time.
We
look
forward
to
the
Public
Safety
Committee
and
look
Peter
we're
asking
that
we
have
public
engagement
so
that
we
can
really
work
through
these
and
get
any
issues
resolved.
Thank
you.

We
are
not
suffering
from
racism,
we
are
suffering
from
greed,
Envy
jealousy
and
ignorance,
and
they
use
the
black
and
white
to
keep
the
argument
going
why
they
run
off
with
the
money
they
keep.
The
black
and
white
argument
going:
councilman
gregory,

no
seeking
no
Peterson
I
know
he
knows
his
name
is
Peter
Shahid,
that's
a
that's
the
name
right
there,
that's
one
who
denied
Jesus
so
I
know
he
know.
W
Okay,
are
you
ready
hello?
My
name
is
Marcus
McDonald
I'm
lead
organizer,
Charleston
black
lives
matter
happy
last
day
of
black
history
month.
Thank
you
for
the
recognition
for
heart
last
meeting.
Let's
look
at
the
history
and
current
issues
with
police
and
the
black
community
in
this
city.
The
target
is
often
young
black
men
who
look
just
like
me
think
about
us.
We
make
these
decisions
with
the
racial
bias
y'all
made
earlier
now.
W
If
the
contract
was
for
500
guns,
cars
or
some
laser
and
I
said
defund,
the
police
y'all
would
call
me
crazy
or
radical,
but
when
I
say
put
funds
into
transparency
and
accountability,
money
seems
to
be
tight.
That's
weird!
Unfortunately,
you
already
cut
the
check
but,
as
I
said
before,
or
I
said
in
public
USC
I
like
USC
as
much
the
next
guy,
but
they
do
not
have
the
experience
and
the
authority
to
implement
this
review
of
the
audit.
What
happens
when
the
chief
doesn't
like
what
they
say?
Will
they
resign?
W
Will
the
chief
continue
to
reject
eliminating
racial
bias,
or
this
is
a
key
goal
every
time
he
brings
up,
raise
your
bias
and
it
gets
brought
up
in
his
Department.
He
talks
about
crying
mothers.
Well,
I
know
several
crime,
mother
spiders
and
you
who've
been
brutalized
by
his
police
force,
including
myself
in
2018
on
the
way
back
from
the
Addison
Library
I
was
pulled
over
on
a
bike
in
2021.
W
I
was
violently
arrested
by
CPD,
while
fighting
for
justice,
some
for
someone
that
they
killed,
Jamal,
Sutherland
and
I
was
choked
and
two
officers
by
two
officers
and
my
property
was
destroyed,
but
I
got
something
for
y'all
for
the
in
the
in
the
end
of
June
of
this
year.
In
closing,
all
I
ask
is:
do
not
skimp
the
people
and
give
us
the
transparency
and
accountability
that
the
community
has
demanded
all
power
to
the
people
and
happy
Black
History
Month.
X
I
come
up
with
just
a
little
small
clothes
I
want
you
all
to
think
about
think
about
and
give
you
till
the
next
city
council
meeting
to
try
to
figure
this
one
out
all
right.
Now!
Listen!
It's
nice!
Because
I
get
it
from
some
kids
on
the
part
of
a
king
live
in
the
palace
and
the
King
died
where
the
prince
in
there
that
Prince
gonna
become
the
white,
the
next
king
right
father.
We
play
the
clown
in
the
castle
and
the
King
died.
X
Y
Please
read
your
email:
I
was
unable
to
make
my
pedicab
rebuttals
at
the
last
city
council
meeting,
because
I
was
leading
38
7th
graders
on
a
five-day
field.
Trip
to
New,
York
City
I
feel.
If
I
can
do
that,
I
can
operate
safely.
Two
three,
maybe
even
four
pedicabs
I,
mentioned
being
a
teacher,
because
we
all
know
it's
not
most
professionally,
rewarding
or
in
terms
of
economics,
and
so
when
I
risk,
my
Capital
after
you
guys
make
a
promise.
Y
I
expect
you
to
hold
up
your
end
of
the
bargain
and
not
rescind
it
at
the
last
minute.
Second
reason,
I
mentioned
being
a
teacher
is
because
this
is
a
community-minded
business
shuttling.
Passengers
I
am
the
face
of
the
city.
I
meet
lots
of
people
and
there's
a
lot
of
room
for
engaged
residents,
taxpayers
community
members
who
really
support
this
city
are
invested
in
the
city
and
see
themselves
here
for
the
long
time.
Y
Do
not
deny
that
and
take
this
away,
and,
lastly,
I
bring
up
my
career
because
I'm
also
a
public
servant
and
I
got
into
public
service
to
support
the
next
generation
of
entrepreneurs
to
reach
out
a
hand
and
bring
people
up,
and
it
seems
like
this
board
is
just
putting
hurdle
after
hurdle
after
hurdle
after
delay
after
hurdle
and
I.
Just
don't
understand
why
we
can't
have
a
fair,
open,
competitive
bid
on
something
that
you
already
approved.
What
is
the
holdup?
Where
is
the
the
kind
of
block
coming
from
you
approved
this?
Z
It's
Daniel
Ben
Israel,
Mr,
Mayor
members
of
council
good
evening
I'm,
the
real
estate
development
manager
for
Drayton,
Parker
companies,
LLC
and
Gregory
M,
Parker
Inc,
the
owner
and
operator
of
Parker's
kitchens
and
I'm
here
tonight,
to
bring
to
your
attention
a
matter
of
concern
that
we
have
with
the
development
review
process
and
the
duration
of
time
that
it
takes
for
plans
to
be
reviewed
and
approved
by
CWS.
This
comment
is
not
directed
towards
the
city
staff.
We
actually
enjoy
a
good
working
relationship
with
the
city
staff.
Z
However,
we
are
aware
of
efforts
by
the
city
to
improve
its
processes
as
well,
but
as
it
relates
to
CWS
Mr
Mayor
like
to
bring
this
to
your
attention
and
specifically
to
the
attention
of
council
member
Waring,
who
I
understand,
sits
on
the
Board
of
Commissioners
for
CWS
we've
experienced,
in
my
opinion,
unreasonable
and
significant
delays
in
the
review
process.
In
many
instances,
it's
taking
better
than
60
days
to
receive
meaningful
comments
on
our
development
plans,
and
so
this
not
only
in
adversely
impacts
the
review
process
and
development
process
and
ensuing
real
estate
development.
Z
But
it
also
delays
the
receipts
of
much
needed
tax
revenues,
license
fees
and
etc
for
the
city
as
well,
so
we'd
like
I
like
to
respectively,
ask
you
for
your
assistance
and
the
assistance
of
council
member
Waring
to
do
whatever
is
necessary
to
help
CWS
improve
its
development
review
process.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
S
30
months,
it's
a
long
time
still
here,
Roswell
sent
out
a
letter
got
some
responses:
Back
40,
20
21.,
one
of
them
from
Drake
Rogers.
Now
remember
now,
let's
make
sure
we're
clear
Council
for
the
city
said.
The
only
thing
that's
allowed
in
my
neighborhood
is
a
temporary
blockade
from
1976..
We
are
not
closing
the
road
and
we're
not
abandoning
the
road.
S
Ross
I
was
playing
with
Tom
sitting
at
Joe
good,
both
of
who
suggested
I
email
you
directly
for
20
years,
we've
had
a
constant
ongoing
parent
problem
with
parents
of
Harborview
Elementary
driving
through
and
parking
in
the
neighborhood
to
cut
the
line.
Now,
if
you've
ever
dropped
your
kids
off
at
school,
while
they're
sitting
there,
if
you
cut
in
front
of
another
parent,
it
won't
take
long
before
you
hear
about
it,
we
don't
need
Drake
Rogers
to
fix
it,
and
we
don't
need
trees
in
the
middle
of
the
road
to
fix
it.
S
That's
what
he's
saying
we
got
dogs,
that's
why
we
we
want
to
keep
the
roads
blocked
for
Duke
decades,
I
have
been
attending
annual
meetings
and
the
main
point
of
discussion
has
been
to
keep
traffic
out
of
the
neighborhood
I
think
what
he
meant
to
say
was
out
of
our
side
of
the
neighborhood,
because
we
hadn't
left
the
neighborhood
it
went
to.
My
street
I
have
800
percent
more
traffic
than
anybody
else
in
the
entire
neighborhood.
Why?
S
Because
of
the
illegally
blocked
roads,
is
my
understanding
that
this
young
man
has
not
lived
here
for
35
years?
That's
right,
I
was
going
to
the
military.
You
know
those
signs
for
Ukraine.
You
know
who's
going
to
fix
it.
It'd
be
people
like
me
that
volunteered
to
leave
I
left
home
with
the
idea
that
you're
supposed
to
take
care
of
my
family
I
take
care
of
the
country
you
take
care
of
my
family.
You
have
failed
on
your
portion.
Thank
you.
AA
Members
Jerome
Harris
528,
to
see
your
code,
Drive
I,
did
put
in
a
comment
earlier
requesting
the
council
defer
the
action
on
the
racial
bias
evaluation
I
point
out
to
you
that
this
proposal
is
not
what
it's
called
for
in
the
recommendations
of
the
original
report.
What
the
original
report
called
for
was
an
18-month
initiative,
tracking
monitoring
and
communicating.
What
we
have
now
is
a
proposed
evaluation.
I
want
to
make
that
clear.
AA
Your
conversation,
I
think,
will
be
helpful
in
terms
of
the
Public
Safety
Committee
I
also
want
to
note
that
CPAC
did
not
was
not
involved
did
not
have
been
put
into
the
development
of
the
RFP.
The
original
RFP
that
went
out
after
it
was
rejected
CPAC
week
on
a
every
time
we
met
every
other
month
made
inquiries
regarding
what
was
happening.
AA
The
other
thing
I
would
point
out
is
that
the
CNA,
when
it
gave
you
the
report
to
September
of
2019,
indicated
that
the
follow-up
would
cost
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars.
That
is
the
same.
I
believe
figure
that
you
quoted
in
terms
of
the
bid
that
came
in
this
Council
and
the
mayor
decided,
and
the
police
department
decided
not
to
fund
that.
Even
though
we
knew
what
that
number
was
in
2019.
B
And
those
were
all
the
speakers
that
we
had
signed
up.
We
did
receive
some
comments
online
and
I'm
just
going
to
summarize
the
ones
from
citizens
who
have
not
already
spoken
tonight.
Jake
Thomas
said
the
city
should
proceed
with
a
planned
and
already
approved
additional
pedicab
night
time
operating
decals.
He
said
failing
to
rebid,
the
decals
would
be
a
failure
of
the
city
to
its
citizens
and
its
guests,
and
not
a
competitive
bid
had
not
occurred
since
2011..
B
The
just
this
disadvantaged
new
companies,
John
zielu,
said
that
for
bza
site
design
he
thought
regarding
the
new
elementary
school
on
River
Road,
that
they
did
a
great
job.
Locating
the
building
the
building
site
such
that
only
one
tree
needed
to
be
removed
and
the
other
comments
were
sent
to
Council
in
full,
and
those
were
all
that
we
received.
C
C
R
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor
I.
Have
no
objection
to
this.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
recognize
former
councilwoman
Marie
del
Chapo
who's
in
the
audience
who's
up
for
a
vote.
Let's
make
sure
I
mean
if
you're
going
to
drive
all
the
way
downtown
find
a
place
to
park
and
come
here.
You
might
as
well
get
recognition.
D
A
N
A
N
AB
Unfortunately,
this
is
one
of
the
problems
with
the
boards
plus
is
not
all
the
information
is,
is
100,
but
according
to
our
information,
he
is
listed
as
a
citizen
seat.
He
is
an
architect
but
he's
in
the
citizen
seat.
We
have
Dino's
in
the
dinos
liolio
as
the
architect
and
then
we
have
two
alternate
Architects.
So.
N
This
is
sort
of
my
confusion
with
this,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
not
that
I'm
I
love
all
my
Architects
and
and
what
they
bring
to
this
design
review
board.
But
I
would
like
to
have
a
non-architect
citizen
on
this
on
this
board
and
for
those
of
us
who've
been
before
the
drb.
These
citizens
commit
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
and
effort
on
there
and
I.
N
They
do
a
wonderful
job
about
being
critical
of
it,
but
I
do
think
that
the
drb
needs
to
have
a
balance
of
citizens
just
they're,
not
necessarily
lawyers
or
Architects
or
Realtors
they're,
just
citizens
who
bring
a
different
flavor
to
this
and
and
I
think.
Sometimes
they
get
a
little
bit
too
technical
on
this
board,
and
so
we
put
it
in
another
architect
for
a
citizen
seat.
I
have
a
little
concern
about
doing
that.
V
N
AB
N
N
AB
There
are
two
citizen
seats
and
then
there
are
a
number
of
there
are
two
layperson
seats
and
then
there
are
a
number
of
specific
seats:
architect,
landscape,
architect,
someone
who
knows
business
real
estate,
development,
I
can't
remember
off
the
top
of
my
head,
all
the
different
criteria,
but
we
have
a
number
in
the
ordinance.
We
have
a
number
of
designated
seats
for
specific
professionals
and
then
we
have
two
essentially
lay
person
seats.
If
you
would
or
citizen
have
large
seats.
AB
A
I
A
A
R
A
AB
R
Got
it
and
my
comment
is
and
I
you
know,
I
certainly
think
we
can
spend
some
more
time
and
think
about
this.
But
I
would
just
remind
my
colleagues.
The
drb
is
a
technical
board.
They
deal
only
with
architecture,
site
design.
This
is
not
a
policy
board.
This
is
not
a
board
where,
frankly,
random
people's
opinions
about
development
and
things
of
that
nature
are
are
supposed
to
be
addressed.
R
So
I
I
think
the
drbs
and
the
bars
that
get
into
trouble
around
the
state
are
the
bodies
that
act
like
policy
bodies
that
try
to
decide
what
development
they
want.
Where
this
is,
the
drb
is
only
supposed
to
look
at
design
design,
and
so,
when
you're
talking
about
design
it,
that's
why
we
have
seats
and
roles
for
Architects
and
engineers
and
Landscape
Architects.
You
need
that
technical
expertise,
because
if
you
don't,
you
can
create
problems
and
these
boards
can
get
sideways
and
in
serious
and
significant
ways.
R
N
And
I
agree
with
that
and
I
think
that
sometimes
what
happens
with
the
design
review
board
is
that
particularly
members
of
our
community
don't
understand
the
limited
role
of
the
drb,
and
sometimes
their
issues
have
come
up
that
they
don't
they
get
off
out
of
Lane
on
this.
So
there's
a
reason
why,
when
the
statute,
when
this
ordinance
was
created,
it
provided
for
Lay
people
on
this
I
think
you've
got
to
have
that
balance
of
just
folks
who
live
in
the
community
and
have
bring
a
contribution
that
is
not
technical.
N
This
is
this
is
the
idea
behind
this
is
to
make
sure
it's
a
diverse
board
that
has
those
technical
professionals
on
there,
but
also
provide
a
layperson's
perspective
on
this
as
well.
That's
a
very
critical
part
because
we
brought
this
up
earlier.
The
Citizens
need
to
be
needed
to
feel
they
have
a
voice
on
these
boards,
and
this
is
very
important
as
things
go
through,
particularly
in
West,
Ashley
and
I
know,
it's
happened
on
Daniel
Island
several
times
that
folks
don't
feel
they
have
a
voice.
N
They
don't
fit
this
category
of
being
an
architect
or
an
engineer,
or
a
landscape,
architect
state
that
can't
be
heard
on
this,
and
this
is
the
opportunity
for
laypeople
to
be
heard
and
offer
their
input
on
these
very
which
are
very
technical
components
that
still
there's
something
they
we
all
can
understand
and
appreciate.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
that
on
all
these
boards,
particularly
the
drb,
it
is
well
balanced
and
that's
something
I
think
we
need
a
big
recognition
of.
A
Understood
all
right:
we
have
a
motion
defer
the
Dr
BRB
approvals,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
now,
we'll
take
up
all
the
others,
except
for
d
for
Delta,
including
two
new
appointments
to
the
human
Affairs
and
racial
conciliation
commission,
including
former
council
member
Marie
del
Chapo.
Thank
you
for
being
with
us
any
comments
or
questions
about
any
of
those
other
appointments.
A
AC
Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
thank
you,
councilmember
Brady,
for
taking
this
out
and
and
separating
it.
So
we
can
have
a
discussion
on
item
D,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
my
fellow
council
members
to
defer
item
1D
under
appointments,
which
is
bar
large.
The
reason
for
my
deferral
request
is
to
discuss
the
makeup
of
bar
large
and
potentially
increase
that
number
from
five
to
seven
board
members
and
I'd
request
that
we
defer
and
send
it
back
to.
My
guess
is
Community
Development.
AC
Perhaps
that's
where
drb
discussion
needs
to
also
end
up
or
for
additional
discussion,
and
then
I
also
asked
the
mayor
and
staff
to
get
with
bar
large
members
current
members
just
to
gauge
their
opinions
on
on
moving
it
from
five
to
seven.
The
second
reason
I
want
to
make
for
my
request
for
deferral,
is
I've
received
several
Communications
regarding
some
concerns
with
meeting
Quorum
requirements.
These
are
large
projects.
AC
Oftentimes
people
have
to
recuse
themselves,
so
it
really
ends
up
being
decided
by
two
three
four
people
so
I
think
increasing
that
number
from
five
to
seven.
When
negate
some
of
those
concerns
and
then
lastly,
just
some
concerns
regarding
consistency
and
predictability
around
decisions
there
have
been
some
instances
and
discussions
on
VA
at
large,
where,
let's
just
say
less
than
predictable
outcomes
have
occurred.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that
discussion
in
Community
Development.
So
I
would
just
ask
my
fellow
council
members
to
respectfully
defer
this
and
send
it
back
to
CD.
A
So
that
might
take
us
a
little
while
it's
a
little
more
than
just
the
specific
Personnel,
that's
being
recommended.
If
we're
going
to
go
to
Community
Development,
discuss
expanding
the
number
of
people
who
serve
on
the
board
and
then
also
get
input
from
staff
from
say.
The
preservation
groups,
the
community
and
also
from
the
board
itself,
is
that
what
you're
asking
I'm?
Fine
with
that?
Thank
you,
man.
Yes,
okay!
Any
further
discussion,
councilmember
Gregory.
Q
So,
thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
I'm,
glad
Mr
Harris
is
still
here.
One
of
the
things
we've
taken
up
at
the
heart
is
a
subcommittee
on
looking
at
internal
procedures
at
the
city,
so
I
think.
If
this
is
going
to
go
around
about
the
table,
it
should
come
back
to
the
heart
too.
Now
we've
got
two
new
members.
We
can
now
talk
about
I,
think
internally,
how
we
set
up
our
boards
there's
some
other
recommendations.
I
think
that
will
come
from
that
subcommittee.
A
AC
A
L
A
Just
as
was
asked
before,
they'll
continue
to
serve
until
they're
replaced
okay
as
long
as
they're
willing,
thanks
yeah,
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
pose
the
eyes
have
it
so
and
on
your
desk.
I
have
a
proposed
appointment
for
our
next
meeting.
My
appointment
to
this
Charleston
Police
advisory
committee
or
CPAC
and
I
think
there
are
a
few
council
members
we're
looking
for
y'all
to
come
forward
with
an
appointment
as
well.
So
please
submit
that
to
me,
so
I
can
get
it
to
to
council
for
our
next
meeting
and.
A
AE
And
then
we
had
Audi
number
two
I
too,
but
just
for
discussion
dealing
with
the
Hope
Center
and
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
to
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
the
item
that
we
had
on
the
committee
and
also
asked
Mr
Brown.
Let
me
see
if
I
get
their
name
right,
Natasha
Jenkins
flood
to
come
up
and
give
us
a
little
presentation
of
what
took
place
during
the
new
development
committee.
So
the
other
council
members
can
hear.
But
what's
happened
to
The
Hope
Center
that
you
made
perfect
so.
A
Can
we
entertain
a
motion
first
to
approve
the
formation
of
the
livability
board?
We
have
a
motion
in
the
second
any
discussion
and
I
think
everybody
knows
that
this
is
to
address
vacant
and
abandoned
properties
in
the
City
of
Charleston,
primarily,
but
may
also
take
up
other
code
enforcement
matters.
Councilmember
Sacrament.
AC
A
All
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
oppose
the
eyes.
Have
it
next
I'm
proud
to
present
a
rock
star
of
the
City
of
Charleston
Latasha
Jenkins
flood,
our
director
of
The
Hope
Center
she's,
going
to
give
a
very
brief
presentation
about
what
they've
been
up
to
and
while
she's
come
up
here,
I
got
to
just
stay:
I
was
there
on
Saturday.
She
had
all
our
partners
there
who
were
providing
wraparound
services
to
those
in
need.
It
was
an
amazing
gathering
on
Saturday
that
part
was
uplifting.
A
The
somber
sobering
Park
was
there
were
hundreds
of
citizens
there
and
you
could
see
in
their
faces.
They
were
there
for
help.
They
needed
help,
and
so
I'm
I'm,
just
so
pleased
with
latasha's
work
that
she's
really
bringing
the
right
resources
together
to
provide
that
kind
of
help
to
our
citizens
that
need
Latasha.
Thank.
AF
You
Mia
Heckler
good
morning
and
I'm
sorry
good
afternoon.
You
guys
it's
been
a
long
day.
My
name

The
first
slide
that
you're
looking
at
right
now

the

This

an
aerial
view

going
to
look

I'm,
very
excited
about
all
of
the
great
work
that
we've
done

Hope
Center
our
mission,
our
vision
and
our
values.
The
mission
of
the
Hope
Center
is
to
connect
our
neighbors
to
the
support
and
services
that
promote
wholeness
and
stability.
The
vision
of
the
Hope
Center
is
to
serve
as
a
collaborative
community
resource
center
to
provide
comprehensive
services
to
those
who
are
homeless
or
at
risk
of
experiencing
homeless.
The
values
of
the
sensor
are
respect,
compassion,
safety,
inclusivity
and
service.
AF
According
to
HUD.
There
are
four
categories
of
homelessness
that
our
clients
encounter,
that
we
assess
on
a
daily
basis
at
the
Hope
Center.
The
first
category
is
literally
homeless,
which
are
individuals
and
families
who
live
in
the
place,
not
meant
for
human
habitation,
including
the
streets,
are
in
their
cars.
The
second
category
is
the
imminent
risk
of
homelessness,
where
individuals
or
families
will
lose
their
primary
nighttime
residents
within
14
days,
and
they
have
no
other
resources
or
support
networks
to
obtain
the
permanent
housing.
AF
Category
3
is
homeless
under
other
statutes,
which
means
unaccompanied
youth
under
the
age
of
25
years
old,
who
do
not
meet
any
of
the
other
categories
but
are
homeless
under
Federal
statutes
have
not
had
a
lease
or
have
moved
two
or
more
times
in
the
past
60
days
and
are
likely
to
remain
unstable,
because
the
special
needs
are
barriers
and
category
floor
are
people
that
are
fleeing
domestic
violence.
Individuals
are
families
who
are
fleeing
or
attempting
to
flee
domestic
violence.

What
you're

AF
AF
We
also
partner
very
closely
with

Charleston

program,
and
the
person
of
the
purpose
of
that

Charleston

helps
289
homeless
students
in

AF
Through
the
mckinney-vento
program
and
our
partnership
we
actually
meet
with
those
families.
We
help
them
find
employment.
We
get
them
connected
to
government
services
and
housing
referrals
in
order
to
assist
the
district
with
eliminating
the
barriers
to
being
homeless
or
to
prevent
them
from
being
evicted
from
their
homes.
AF
AF
The
current
services
that
we
provide
at
the
Hope
Center
is
as
follows.
The
Hope
Center
has
served
310
people
from
June
of
last
year
until
February
of
2023,
since
we
begin
our
operations
on
June
6th
of
2022.
Some
of
the
services
that
we
offer
at
the
Hope
Center
are
showers
laundry,
clean
clothing,
food
respite
from
adverse
weather,
access
to
a
social
worker,
access
to
free
mobile
telephones,
access
to
housing
and
access
to
health
care.
AF
One
thing
I
want
to
say
that
makes
the
Hope
Center
a
little
bit
different
from
most
other
organizations,
even
though
they
all
do
good
work.
Is
we
don't
turn
anyone
that's
homeless
away?
You
can
literally
move
to
Charleston
and
your
whole
life
has
fallen
apart.
You
can
literally
have
worked
at
a
job
for
30
30
years
and
lost
your
job
and
you
can
come
to
the
center
and
we
will
help
you
to
the
best
of
our
ability
in
order
to
help
you
and
your
family
become
stable
with
some
of
the
other
organizations.
AF
If
you
don't
meet
their
requirements,
sometimes
help
can
be
a
little
bit
more
challenging,
but
our
goal
is
to
truly
meet
everyone
where
they
are
and
to
provide
the
assistance
that
we
can
and
that
we
don't
offer
it
in-house.
We
will
get
you
connected
to
a
resource
agency
that
can
help
you
with
that.
Some
of
the
future
services
at
the
Hope
Center
are
employment
classes,
financial
and
budgeting
classes,
legal
assistance
and
Behavioral
Health
Services.
AF
Some
of
the
collaborative
partners
that
we
currently
partner
with
are
the
city
of
North
Charleston,
Coastal,
Community
Church.
They
come
once
a
month
and
they
do
community

and
try
to
United
Way.
AF
I
have
been
always
thinking
about.
What
can
we
do
to
make
the
center
a
better
place?
What
are
some
of
our
strengths?
I
think
that
I
am
very
privileged
to
be
able
to
be
a
part
of
the
work
that
we
are
doing
every
day
when
it
comes
to
our
homeless
population
and
even
though
the
Hope
Center
has
only
been
open
for
less
than
a
year,
I
think
we
have
done
really
great
things
in
the
community
for
such
a
short
period.
Some
of
the
strengths
that
we
subscribe
to
is.
We
also
follow
the
housing
first
model.
AF
We
believe
everyone
has
an
access
and
the
right
to
housing.
We
provide
comprehensive
wrap-around
services
in
one
location,
which
is
very
important.
One
of
the
things
I
did
when
I
first
took
this
position
is
I
actually
went
to
the
encampments
where
the
in-house
lived
and
I
asked
them.
What
are
some
things
that
we
can
do
best
to
help
you
and
one
of
the
comments
I
heard?
Is
people
tend
to
help
us?
They
send
us
to
a
bunch
of
places
and
No
One
Ever
Knows,
where
they
sent
us
actually
helped.
AF
So,
instead
of
just
telling
Mr
Smith
Mr
Smith
go
to
DSS,
we
are
actually
working
with
DSS
directly
and
then
following
back
up
with
that
representative,
to
make
sure
that
the
help
he
requested
was
actually
given.
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
very
strong
with
cross-sector
collaboration
and
knowledge
and
finding
funding
for
housing
assistance.
Some
other
opportunities
we
have
are
rental
and
utility
assistance,
respites
from
adverse
weather
conditions
and
establishing
systems
to
ensure
that
homelessness
is
brief
and
are
recurring.
AF
Some
of
the
threats
the
center
faces
are
limited
available
of
housing,
landlord
discrimination
on
address
client,
mental
health
issues,
lack
of
community
capacity
and
some
of
our
weaknesses
are
limited.
Funding
for
financial
assistance
requests
and
limited
provide
a
capacity
and
inadequate
client
income.
AF
How
do
we
achieve
long-term
success?
We
achieve
long-term
success
by
providing
comprehensive,
wraparound
services
using
evidence-based
practices
we
maintain
and
enhanced
collaborative
Partnerships.
We
engage
the
community
as
a
partner
in
the
provision
of
services
and
the
operation
of
the
sensor.
We
ensure
that
the
staff
has
the
technical
expertise
to
provide
solutions
to
challenges
by
our
clients.
We
share
our
story
and
we
continue
to
raise
Capital
to
support
the
programs
and
services
at
the
Hope.
Center.
T
A
F
AF
You
for
that
question,
that's
actually
a
great
one.
On
this
past
Saturday,
we
held
an
event
called
Super
Saturday,
we
connected
with
our
service
providers,
and
we
provided
Outreach
Services
to
the
community
in
need,
and
we
saw
300
people
there.
That
day,
we
literally
at
12
30
had
to
stop
people,
unfortunately
from
coming,
because
we
would
not
have
the
manpower
to
meet
the
need.
I
believe
that
the
numbers
of
the
homeless
they
vary.
AF
A
lot
of
them
are
concentrated
in
different
parts
of
the
City
of
Charleston,
but
for
a
homeless
population,
a
part
of
their
survival.
Is
they
migrate?
So
they
go
from
the
city
of
Charleston
to
North
Charleston.
They
go
west
Ashley,
they
may
go
to
Summerville,
and
then
they
go
to
places
where
they
can
sometimes
hide
without
being
seen
or
where
they
think
that
they
have
access
to
resources
much
quicker
than
a
different
City.
AF
A
Any
other
questions
again,
my
commendations
Latasha
really
are
doing
a
great
job.
You
saw
by
the
way
that
the
floor
plan
it's
hard
to
see
up
here
on
the
screen,
but
in
the
next
just
week,
or
so
we'll
be
finalizing
these
plans,
with
our
pro
bono,
architectural
firm
on
this
project
ls3p
and
by
the
way
they're
taking
it
all
the
way
to
construction
documents
as
part
of
their
gift
to
the
city.
A
A
One
thing
I'll
point
out:
this
flexible
area
here
on
the
first
floor
would
serve
as
a
day
Center
for
those
needing
assistance
and
also
on
hot
days,
just
to
be
able
to
get
out
of
the
sun
and
the
heat,
but
on
cold
evenings
could
serve
as
our
own
city-operated
warming
shelter.
We
do
not
have
one
in
the
City
of
Charleston
hard
to
believe.
A
We
would
look
to
a
good
partner
like
Seacoast
to
help
us
operate
it
when,
when
we
do
go
into
that
mode,
but
I
wanted
to
share
I
visited
the
one
in
Columbia
just
a
few
weeks
ago
that
the
city
of
Columbia
operates
and
they
they
a
little
more
inclusive
in
terms
of
the
temperature
that
they
set
up
shop,
which
is
40
degrees.
Most
of
the
folks
in
Charleston
that
do
warming
shelters,
wait
until
it
gets
to
35
or
even
34
degrees
and
I
do
think
starting
at
40
degrees
is
is
much
more
more
Humane.
A
It
would
mean
that
we're
open
more
nights
a
year
than
than
the
current
operators
do
and
they're
wonderful
I
don't
mean
to
disparage
them
at
all,
they're,
relying
totally
on
volunteers
and
all
like
that.
But
I
think
that
would
be
a
very
Humane
thing
to
do
so.
My
goal
at
this
point
when
we
get
this
together,
is
that
we
would
operate
at
40
degrees
and
below
and
have
a
warning
warming
shelter
available
for
our
citizens,
who
who
need
it
so
more
to
come,
and
then
we
gotta
we
gotta
fund.
A
It
finish
funding
that
we're
we're
doing
great
on
the
fundraising
effort
we
got
about
another
we've
been
trying
to
do
the
balance
with
with
private
philanthropy
we're
about
a
million
dollars
away
from
our
seven
seven
million
dollar
goal.
So
so
we
really
are
making
progress.
When
we
had
a
meeting
at
the
Hope
Center
of
the
existing
Hope
Center.
A
Two
weeks
ago,
we
had
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
commit
made
from
from
a
very
generous
citizen,
so
we're
real
close
as
as
Latasha
said,
anybody
wants
to
help
donate
I'll
say
that
everybody
in
the
room
and
anybody
online
homeless
homeless
to
hopefund.org,
which
is
managed
by
our
partner,
the
Palmetto
project.
By
the
way,
they've
been
our
partner
on
the
financial
side
of
our
fundraising
for
homeless
efforts.
Ever
since
Tent
City
some
years
ago,
okay
I
could
go
on,
but
I
won't
Latasha.
Thank
you
again
very.
A
L
Thank
you,
Mr
Mayor,
the
committee
on
Recreation
met
last
Tuesday
at
two
o'clock.
We
had
a
Enterprise
Manager
report
that
Lori
actually
gave,
but
she
was
talking
about
our
Enterprise
Manager
Justin
Braddock
and
Bethany
Doman
who's.
Our
marketing
coordinator,
they've,
worked
hard
for
the
last
several
months.
Have
gotten
some
great
sponsorships
in
the
big
win
for
them
is
that
the
Charleston
RiverDogs
gave
us
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
so
it
was
a.
It
was
a
big
win
for
us.
Dave
Eckles
happened
to
be
in
attendance.
He
was
recognized,
didn't
speak,
but
was
recognized
and
thanked
for
that.
L
But
if
you
know
any
Business
Leaders
out
there,
us
as
council
members,
encourage
them
to
try
to
talk
to
our
Enterprise
Manager
we're
coming
up
with
some
great
new
ideas
and
some
great
new
ways
to
help.
You
know
raise
funds
through
our
recreation
department.
So
if
you
have
any
business
owners
that
you
see
that
do
a
lot
of
advertising,
if
you
would
help
Justin
out
with
that
and
help
Lori
I
know
they
would
appreciate
it.
L
We
do
look
forward
to
hearing
from
our
Enterprise
Manager
more
at
our
future
Recreation
committee
meetings
as
well
and
hope
to
have
more
great
stories
like
he
did.
This
time.
We've
got
two
lighting
projects
going
on
at
our
tennis,
centers,
the
Maybank
tennis
center
and
the
Charleston
Tennis
Center.
The
work
has
probably
been
completed
now
at
the
Charleston
Tennis
Center
I
would
imagine
Lori
I
know
it
was
close
when
we
met
last
week.
G
Yes,
that's
correct:
I'll
speak
up
for
Jason
I,
don't
think
he's
able
to
be
here
tonight,
but
the
Charleston
Tennis
Center
is
finished.
If
you
go
by
there,
the
lighting
is
not
spilling
over
at
all,
but
the
light
is
great.
The
LED
lights
are
awesome,
so
hopefully
we'll
get
some
great
comments
from
our
players
and
the
work
has
started
at
Maybank,
Tennis
Center,
so
it'll
start
on
the
hard
courts
and
then
go
to
the
clay
courts.
L
Great
thank
you
Lori
and
there's
a
couple
of
polls
that
have
to
be
put
up
at
maybanks.
It's
a
little
bit
more
work
at
Maybank
than
it
was
at
Charleston
tennis
center,
but
I'm
glad
to
see
that
that'll
be
up
and
operating
real.
Soon
we
had
a
disc
golf
update.
Mr
cronzberg's
team
walk
the
disc
golf
course
at
West,
Ashley
Park
the
damage
steps
that
were
there
will
be
removed
and
some
Timber
type
Earthen
steps
are
going
to
be
installed
in
there.
L
Some
supplies
have
been
ordered
to
replace
the
bridges
that
are
that
are
needing
replacement
and
Miss.
Laurie
Yarborough
also
walked
the
course
with
Bart
Altman,
who
heads
up
the
Disc
Golf
Community
to
look
at
all
the
work
that
he's
done
on
that
course
and
Mr
Altman
applied,
also
for
a
permit
to
to
use
Hampton
Park
in
December
to
have
a
big
disc
golf
tournament
so,
and
he'd
like
to
have
some
future
events
similar
to
that
at
West.
L
Ashley
Park,
as
we
move
along
and
improve
that
part,
but
also
the
Enterprise
Manager
Justin,
will
be
meeting
with
Mr
Altman
as
well
about
some
ways
that
we
may
be
able
to
sponsor
disc
golf,
maybe
put
some
signage
on
the
holes
and
some
different
different
ideas
that
they're
throwing
around
so
I'm
excited
to
hear
what
comes
out
of
that.
There
was
some
good
discussions
on
the
request
from
the
pickleball
Community
to
have
some
storage
at
the
bees,
Landing
courts.
L
I
think
Miss
Copeland
has
given
to
go
ahead
on
that
and
Lori
and
her
team
are
working
through
that
now.
Mr
Don
White
from
the
pickleball
Community
visited
our
meeting
as
well
and
was
recognized
and
spoke.
Lori
gave
us
a
great
update
on
Youth,
Sports
and
field
use.
We
looked
at
sports
back
on
going
all
the
way
back
to
2013,
mainly
in
four
boroughs:
Peninsula
James,
Island,
West,
Ashley,
Daniel
Island.
L
Three
of
those
four
areas
are
growing
pretty
at
a
pretty
good
Pace
in
participation
with
the
peninsula,
actually
seeing
a
decline
in
youth
participation
and
Lori
share
that
she
thinks
it's
just
because
there's
less
children
living
on
the
peninsula
than
there
were
in
were
in
the
past
and
that's
why
that
participation's
down
a
little
bit
so
there's
also
there's
more
participation
in
most
sports
tackle.
Football
has
less
participation
happening
right
now.
L
There's
concerns
for
for
safety
there,
but
to
make
up
for
some
of
that,
we've
got
additional
flag
football
offerings,
which
also
is
less
expensive
for
participants
and,
of
course,
helps
that
safety
concern.
Michelle
bro
showed
us
where
the
athletic
fields
and
all
of
our
fields
and
courts
were
located
and
explain
the
seasonal
participation
in
each
of
those,
and
she
also
showed
the
list
of
non-city
permitted
athletic
organizations
who
use
our
fields
and
the
amount
that
they
use.
Those
and
she
explained
the
multiple
marketing
processes
we
have
to.
L
Let
the
community
know
about
our
sports
and
recreation
offerings.
She
spoke
about
the
joint
usage
agreements
that
we
have
with
Charleston
County
schools
and
it's
being
updated
with
improvements
to
Stony
field
now,
of
course,
and
the
anticipated
use
of
fields
that,
in
coordination
with
St
John's,
High
School,
you
know
Robin
Cooper's
just
done
a
great
job.
Things
are
growing
out
there.
We
get
more
and
more
participation
in
most
of
our
areas
and
and
I
think
she's
done
an
outstanding
job.
L
Last
night
I
was
walking
through
West
Ashley,
Park
and
Stacy
Collins
was
telling
me
we
had
just
under
a
thousand
kids
out
there.
It
was
incredible
to
see
that
many
kids
out
primarily
on
the
soccer
fields
last
night
as
I,
was
walking
through
West
Ashley
Park,
but
also
Mallory
Shear
is
working
on
an
agreement
with
USA
management
who
specializes
in
finding
seasonable
aquatic
staff
throughout
the
Carolinas
in
Georgia.
L
As
a
committee,
we
unanimously
approve
the
seasonal
lifeguard
contract,
with
the
ability
for
Mallory
to
finalize
that
negotiation
and
I
think
we
as
a
council
need
to
vote
to
move
that
contract
forward
as
negotiated
by
legal
counsel.
So
I
guess
I'd
like
to
make
that
motion
that
we
that
we
do
so.
Thank
you.
A
B
L
A
Should
actually
come
back
to
Ways
and
Means
Committee
next
time,
but
okay,
the
recreation
committee
approved
it
in
concept,
okay
and
I'm,
just
subject
to
the
final
legal
negotiation
on
the
contract
to
come
forward
all
right,
I'll
withdraw.
My
motion,
then,
should
be
coming
to
our
next
meeting
right.
Yeah,
all.
I
I
Yeah
I
do
have
a
question
to
the
chairman
of
the
recreation
more
something
to
report
and
then
a
question.
This
is
new
for
councilmember
Mitchell
I
didn't
get
to
run
this
by
you.
I
have
a
good
friend
who's
in
the
restaurant
business
and
a
couple
of
months
ago,
about
a
month
ago,
they
had
occasion
to
go
to
the
Divine
Center
and
actually
go
into
the
commercial
kitchen,
and
he
told
me
that
he
thought
there
were
several
violations.
This
person's,
been
in
the
restaurant
business
about
40
years,
some
simple
Corrections.
I
He
thought
needed
to
be
made
over
there
I,
so
I
actually
went
by
Monday,
went
inside
and
actually
took
some
pictures
of
some
paint
on
the
wall
as
big
as
my
palm
curling
over
in
the
commercial
kitchen.
So
I
think
before
we
get
some
people,
some
DX
body
I
think
we
ought
to
get
some
maintenance
over
there.
Take
a
look
at
that.
We're
glad
to
okay,
great.
I
I
G
So
right
now
we
have
four
four
that
are
wrecked
all
the
time
there
and
then
one
that's
got
just
temporary
lines
down.
I
can
also
share
that
the
Low
Country
Senior
Center
is
moving
forward
on
a
project.
Their
membership
has
done
fundraising
and
they're
looking
to
put
at
least
two
courts
in
their
area
of
space
on
James
Island
as
well.
G
They're,
looking
at
two
with
the
possibility
of
more
depending
on
whether
or
not
they
put
lights
in
and
how
much
the
costs
come
in
the
popularity
at
the
Waring
Senior
Center
of
those
pickleball
courts
is
certainly
spurred.
The
members
of
the
Lowcountry
Senior
Center
to
look
for
the
same
thing
off
the
chart.
G
V
G
G
A
A
AE
Did
you
have
to
no?
No,
this
is
not
dealing
with
his
report
and
I.
Don't
have
a
problem
with
that,
but
my
problem
is
right.
Now
the
east
side
and
I'm
getting
beat
up
and
I'm
getting
calls
all
day.
Long
and
Mr
Mayor
I
call
and
spoke
to
you
about
it.
That's
right
and
I
said
the
kid
the
people
over
the
East
Side
thinking
that
you,
you
you're,
taking
away
everything
that
they
have
over
there.
AE
They
figure
that
this
is
the
design
that
that's,
why
you're
doing
it
I'm
getting
calls
like
12
o'clock
and
one
o'clock
from
parents.
They
said
they're
actually
angry
because
Mr
Jones
is
not
there,
there's
nothing
going
on
with
the
east
side,
with
these
young
people
on
the
east
side
now
and
I'm
over
there
every
day
the
park
is
almost
empty
because
the
kid's
not
coming
there,
because
if
they
don't
have
someone
that
they're
going
to
recognize
or
they
can
deal
with
they're
not
going
to
be
coming,
the
kids
are
running
wild
again.
AE
AE
AE
That's
what
he
asked
me
I
tell
them
I,
don't
know
I
said
call
the
mayor,
don't
ask
me,
you
know
I
said
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
what's
going
on
and
it's
teased
me
off
and
I'm
getting
angry
because
I'm
hearing
all
these
things,
that's
happening
in
all
these
parks
and
I'm
in
the
city
of
Charleston
I'm
in
the
peninsula,
but
go
on
Martin
Park
go
on
and
Mall
Park
and
see
how
much
things
are
going
on
over
there
come
on.
That's
that's
one
of
the
oldest
part.
We
are
all
apart.
AE
I
grew
up
in
Hampton
Park
back
in
Harmon
field,
but
this
is
over
here
now
and
I
represent
that
area
and
I'm.
Getting
the
call
and
I
got
a
call
from
some
big
people
in
the
community.
Also
they
wanted
to
come
down.
Do
a
press
conference
right
here
and
I
tell
them
no.
They
wanted
to
come
here
and
March
in
front
of
the
city
hall,
I
told
them
no
I
said
I'll
talk
to
him
and
deal
with
it,
because
this
is
what
they
wanted
to
do
and
I'm
trying
to
keep
all
this
down.
AE
So
it
wouldn't
play
up
and
make
us
look
bad
in
here
that
people
all
of
a
sudden
causing
diversity
again,
you
know
causing
people
to
be
divided
again
come
on.
We
got
to
stop
this
kind
of
carrying
on
so
this
is
why
I'm
kind
of
angry,
Mr,
Beer
and
I'm
angry-
and
it's
very
same
you
see
me,
get
this
kind
of
way
and
I'm
very
angry
I
work
with
everyone
in
this
city
and
the
parks
and
everyone,
but
I'm
very,
very
angry
and
I
see
something
like
this
happen.
AE
I,
don't
know
why
Mr
Jones
will
move
there.
That's
not
my
problem.
I
talked
to
the
mayor
about
it,
that's
what
you
have
to
deal,
but,
but
if
you
have
those
kids
over
here,
no
one
to
work
with
it,
they're
gonna
run
you
out.
They
just
went
in
those
buildings
on
Morrison
Drive.
Why?
Because
nobody's
there,
because
they
don't
have
nothing
to
do
anymore,
so
they're
going
to
find
something
to
do
this
disruptive
come
on
people,
you
got
to
wake
up,
that's
what
I
got
to
say.
G
A
G
So
the
mayor
and
I've
talked
a
couple
of
times
in
regards
to
what
we're
doing
in
different
parks
and
different
areas.
We
have
staff
at
Martin,
Park
I
was
down
there
today
this
afternoon,
we've
had
a
lot
of
things
going
on
in
our
Aquatics.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I've
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
Martin,
Park
and
MLK
pool.
G
So
it's
definitely
in
my
eyesight
I
go
through
there
all
the
time
as
well
as
Mall
Park
customer
Mitchell
I
know
you
called
me
a
couple
weeks
ago
when
school
was
out
and
the
park
house
was
not
open.
We
did
have
an
employee
that
called
out
sick
that
day
and
within
15
minutes
had
someone
there
to
cover.
So
I
am
a
hundred
percent
understanding
of
your
frustration.
I!
Don't
want
your
constituents
beating
you
up.
Please
call
me
anytime
and
I'll
meet
you
out
there
and
and
work
with
you
and
and
your
residents.
AE
Listen
to
you
I'm
sorry,
they're
not
going
to
listen
to
you
because
they
think
of
Mr
Jones
is
not
there.
They
figure
that
the
city
is
doing
something
to
him
because
that's
what
they
want
to
do
and
get
him
off
of
that
area.
This
is
what's
happening.
This
is
why
they're
calling
me
they
figure.
That's
what
I'm
telling
Mr
Mayor
that
they
said
the
garbage
sanitation
is
more
important
than
their
kids.
That's
why
they
move
him
off
of
the
park
because
he
had
the
kids
coming.
There's
no
basketball
going
on!
There's
no
baseball
going
on!
AE
There's!
No,
nothing
going
on
dick!
If
you
come
and
tell
me
something
that
then
I
can
tell
a
person
that's
alive,
because
nothing
going
on
I'm
out
there
every
day,
I'm
on
that
Park,
so
I'm
gonna
tell
you,
there's
nothing
going
on,
but
those
with
those
young
boys
out
there
that's
getting
in
trouble
right
now
right
now,
as
we
speak
right
now
on
a
new
building
that
was
built
just
the
other
day
that
put
put
a
lot
of
money
into
that
East
Side
to
help
those
kids
go
away
to
South,
Carolina
State
University
game.
AE
They
put
a
lot
of
money
in
that
and
they,
the
kids,
have
gone
in
there
because
they
don't
have
nothing
else
to
do
anymore.
They
say,
oh,
the
city
take
Mr
Jones
away
from
us
that
same
mayor
doing
it.
This
is
the
thing
they're
called
and
that's
why
I
call
Mr,
Mayor
and
I
said
I'm,
calling
you
Mr
Mayor
and
I'm,
calling
I'll
pull
your
cartel.
This
is
what
I
did
you
know
I
very
seldom.
You
hear
me
get
upset
and
angry,
but
certain
things
but
I'm
telling
you
facts,
they're
not
going
to
hear
nothing.
AE
You
got
to
say
hello,
I'm,
Gonna,
Miss,
Laurie,
I,
already
respect
to
you,
they're
not
going
to
hear
nothing,
you
got
to
say
because
they
figure
that
you
and
the
rest
are
doing
it
to
them
and
that's
why
they'll
pull
them
away.
This
is
what's
going
on
like
as
I
said
they
want
the
march
in
front
of
here.
They
want
the
march
on
the
mayor
and
I'm,
trying
to
hold
everything
back,
as
I
always
do
to
try
to
keep
calming
in
peace,
but
this
is
what
they're
doing
they
want
to
come
and
petition.
AE
AE
This
is
what's
gonna
happen,
so
I'm
trying,
but
it's
hard
because
they're
calling
me
and
they're
out
there,
I
I
go
on
the
east
side,
but
on
the
east
side
today,
before
I
came
to
council
meeting
when
I
see
the
people
cut
my
job,
often
because
I
know
it
was
coming
after
me,
so
I
drove
off.
You
know,
because
I
don't
want
to
hear
it
again
because
they're
coming
to
me,
they're
going
to
call
me
they're
not
going
to
call
you
I.
G
I
I
understand
totally
and
and
believe
it
or
not,
while
I
don't
live
on
the
east
side
and
haven't
represented
those
constituents
I'm
just
as
passionate
as
well.
We've
now
added
a
soccer
program
on
Thursdays
that
happened
right
after
school
and
it's
it's
free
and
open
to
the
kids.
We've
also
got
Dez
Brown
who's,
an
African-American
gentleman,
that's
doing
pickleball
over
there
with
the
kids
on
Martin
Park,
so
we're
trying
to
do
some
things
in
addition
to
not
just
Martin
and
Maul,
but
also
at
St
Julian.
G
AE
G
AD
AD
Now,
perhaps
there
was
a
greater
need
there,
I
don't
know,
but
if,
if
moving
a
person,
a
transferring
a
person
is
causing
problems
with
regard
to
our
children?
Okay,
to
me,
this
is
a
simple
solution.
Just
move
them
back
unless
there
were
other
circumstances
that
perhaps
we're
not
aware
of
with
regard
to
the
move,
but
I
still
don't
understand
why
Mr
Jones
was
moved
from
Parks
and
Recreation
to
sanitation,
because
it
appears
as
though
it
is
having
an
effect
mayor
well
in
the
area.
First,.
A
Of
all
one
of
the
questions
is
about
our
facilities
over
in
councilmember
Mitchell's
district,
and
if
you
look
at
the
facilities,
we
have
frankly
compared
to
most
other
parts
of
the
city,
both
facilities
and
staff
exceed
most
other
places.
We
have
at
Laurie
mentioned
our
only
year-round
pool
at
the
MLK
pool.
We
have
Martin
Park,
which
has
a
staff
Playhouse
and
programs
available.
We
have
the
saint
Julian
Divine
Center,
which
the
city
just
reinvested
a
couple
million
dollars
in
which
is
also
staffed
and
has
numerous
programs
there.
A
We
have
a
park
house
and
Hampstead
Square,
which
is
just
a
few
blocks
away
and
has
programs
off
of
there.
We
have
the
shaw
center,
which
is
also
a
few
blocks
from
there,
which
has
even
additional
programs.
So
we
have
facilities
all
in
this
part
of
our
city
and
they're
all
open
and
operated.
Yes,
sir,
and
and
and
functioning
and
staffed,
and
offering
programs
to
our
kids
Mr
Jones
who's
here
was
not
an
employee
of
the
recreation
department.
He
worked
for
the
executive
department
and
he
was
a
community
liaison.
A
It
wasn't.
You
know
dedicated,
as
in
that
position
to
working
with
children
and
Recreation.
He
does
have
his
own
non-profit
organization,
which
I
presume
is
still
active
and
we
arrange
the
schedule
for
a
a
a
dire
or
a
pressing,
City
need
and
arrange
the
schedule.
So
he
only
has
to
report
for
that
need
three
days
a
week
which
leaves
him
time
to
do
his
non-profit
and
still
put
teams
together
in
addition
to
all
the
facilities
and
staff
I
just
mentioned
I
do
believe.
A
There's
lots
of
opportunities
on
the
east
side.
I'd,
certainly
respect
councilmember
Mitchell,
your
passion
for
all
this,
and
and
all
like
that.
But
honestly
his
position
wasn't
a
recreation
position
to
start
with
so
I
know
his
passion
for
kids
and
helping
them
that
helping
them
and
being
a
mentor
to
kids,
and
we
certainly
support
your
efforts
to
continue
to
do
that.
So
if
we
could
get
back
to.
A
J
A
Well,
I
mean
sure
any
consideration
of
our
citizens
should
be
taken
into
account
and
I'd
be
glad
to
talk
to
any
of
them,
councilmember
Mitchell.
If
you
want
to
direct
them
to
me,
that
would
be
terrific.
So
if
I
may,
this
wasn't
on
the
agenda
and
it's
personal,
somewhat
related
Personnel
matter.
So
I'd
like
to
proceed
with
the
agenda
and
move
on
with
our
business
and
happy
to
follow
up
with
this,
with
you
directly
council
member
Mitchell
and
with
Mr
Jones
as
well,
Mr.
I
I
Mr
Mayor
you're
right
it
wasn't
on
the
agenda,
but
maybe
we
should
ask
for
it
to
be
placed
on
the
agenda
next
week.
If
you're
going
to
cut
off
the
dialogue,
you
allowed
it
yeah,
it's
not
on
the
agenda,
you're
accurate
on
that
and
you
can
cut
it
off
as
the
Poseidon
officer.
But
maybe
we
can
put
it
on
the
agenda
for
next
week
because.
A
I
I
I
Hiring
new
hires
are
coming
on.
We're
still
not
have
a
full
compliment,
but
successes
in
progress.
Let
me
put
it
like
that.
We
had
a
number
of
drainage
projects
we
got
updates
on
Mr
Fountain
gave
a
great
report
on
that
on
down
area
project,
Forest
Acres
project,
East,
Oak,
Forest,
West,
Oak,
Forest,
project
center
of
the
Woods
Wildwood
project
report
on
a
recent
stormwater
grants
and
applications
which
our
people
are
literally
doing.
The
money
that
we're
getting
on
grants
and
stuff
is
just
outstanding.
I
A
Now
you
have
to
take
an
authorization,
make
a
project
and
then
get
the
money
appropriated
before
you
actually
get
the
check.
So
it's
just
the
beginning
of
of
a
process,
but
you
don't
ever
get
the
check
unless
you
get
authorized
to
start
with.
So
on.
The
first
box
got
checked
and
I
want
to
publicly
thank
Congresswoman
Nancy
mace
for
putting
that
item
in
the
federal
budget
force
and
over
time.
That
will
be
a
significant
funding
source
for
a
number
of
these
projects
in
the
city.
I
A
A
C
A
One
through
six
together
actually
number
four
was
deferred
by
staff,
so
we
have
one
two,
three
five
and
six
yep
we'll
take
those
together.
We
have
a
second
any
discussion
on
any
of
those
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposey
eyes
have
it
now
for
third
reading
and
ratification
of
one
two,
three
five
and
six
any
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
I
think
we
have
one
item
up
for
first
reading.
This
was
actually
no.
This
is
a
different
ordinance.
A
B
A
It
was
mostly
just
some
housekeeping
so
that
we
stagger
the
terms
of
our
council
members
on
that
committee.
The
way
it
was
written
before
they
all
kind
of
came
on
and
off
at
the
same
time,
and
we
felt
like
it
was
more
consistent
to
stag
Rock
any
comments
or
questions
on
that
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
Any
opposed
in
that
curricular
meeting
is.
I
I
We
need
to
get
to
the
point
of
voting
that
up
and
down
and
if
I
could
ask,
the
question
was
brought
up
whether
we
are
unconstitutional
with
this
I
do
have
a
question
we
could
vote
to
modify
the
ordinance
I
mean
we
can
vote
to
put
the
audience
in
place,
but
if
we
modified
the
ordinance
as
unconstitutional,
so
I
think
we
need
to
look
that
up.
So
if
our
Council
can
maybe
bring
some
information
on
that
two
weeks
from
now,
I'd
be
appreciative.
Thank.
AD
Yeah
Mr
Mayor,
because
I
I
definitely
would
like
for
our
Corporation
Council
when,
when
it's
alleged
that
we're
looking
at
something
that
is
unconstitutional
as
problematic
for
me
and
we
had
no
discussions
on
it,
I
know,
Corporation
Council
would
not
submit
anything
for
us
to
vote
on.
That's
unconstitutional
and
I'm
getting
a
little
miffed.
