A
These
fancy
things
from
my
desk
so
elevates
my
computer,
so
I'm
standing
rather
than
sitting,
but
hopefully
we
won't
have
a
four-hour
meeting,
but
I
to
tell
y'all,
with
all
the
zooming
meetings
been
been
sitting
in
the
chair
too
much
I
needed
to
get
up
and
stand
and
move
around
a
little
bit.
I
think
it's
helpful
so
anyway,
I
think
we're
all
here.
The
recording
has
started
I'd
like
to
call
this
november
10th
meeting
of
charleston
city
council
to
order,
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
C
D
D
E
F
E
G
A
Excuse
me
hit
the
wrong
button,
so
next
I'd
like
to,
if
you
all,
would
like
to
join
us,
councilmember
shade
will
lead
us
in
an
invocation.
H
H
A
Amen.
Thank
you,
sir.
If
you
join
me
on
the
side
over
my
shoulder
to
the
right,
as
we
say,
say
our
pledge
of
allegiance,
I.
H
A
Thank
you
I'll
add
my
observation
or
our
reflection
that
tomorrow
we
all
have
a
federal
holiday
for
veterans
day
and
the
city
will
be
taking
a
holiday,
but
it
won't
mean
that
we
won't
be
remembering
and
thanking
all
our
veterans
who
have
served
protecting
freedom
in
our
country.
A
I
hope,
over
the
next
year
to
be
even
more
active
with
mayors
from
across
the
country.
I've
been
blessed
to
have
been
asked
by
the
new
president
of
the
u.s
conference
of
mayors
to
head
up
a
task
force
on
veterans
affairs
for
mayors
throughout
the
country.
We'll,
hopefully
have
our
first
meeting
in
january
coming
up
so
anyway,
I
know
y'all
will
all
be
celebrating
and
thanking
veterans
tomorrow,
we'll
all
do
that
together.
A
So
the
presentation
on
our
meeting
agenda
tonight
is
from
stephen
long
from
clemson
extension,
maybe
clemson
university
and
sorry
about
that
notre
dame
experience.
The
other
night
didn't
quite
work
out
for
you,
but
I
I
know
that's
just
a
few
and
far
between
occasion
and
kimberly
dean,
I
believe,
is
with
us
kim
from
the
united
states
department
of
agriculture.
J
Yes,
sir,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
am
still
reeling
over
that
loss,
but
I
think
we'll
survive.
We
have
bigger
fish
to
fry
here
in
south
carolina,
so
we
won't
worry
too
much
about
that
loss
and
we'll
live
to
fight
another
day.
But
I
first.
J
The
purpose
for
our
meeting
tonight
is
just
to
meet
with
you
all
and
and
update
you
on
on
what
we
have
going
on
in
your
city
and
to
keep
you
updated
of
our
progress
on
the
best
to
let
you
know
about
significant
program
changes
along
the
way
and
then,
of
course
give
you
a
chance
to
ask
any
important
questions
you
have
at
the
end.
So
hopefully
you
all
receive
our
community
email
update,
we're
sending
that
out
about
bi-weekly
now.
J
So
there
are
very
various
updates
there
through
email
concerning
many
of
the
things
that
we'll
discuss
tonight,
but
we'll
also
discuss
a
few
extra
things
in
addition
to
that.
But
to
give
you
a
bit
of
background,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
that
community
email
or
any
of
the
other
messages
that
we've
been
sending
out
is
that
we
discovered
the
asian
longhorn
beetle
in
in
the
hollywood
community
around
may
28
of
this
year,
and
that
is
a
significant
pest
fund.
J
That
is,
that
is
a
federally
regulated
pest,
so
federally
regulated
by
usda,
regulated
by
many
foreign
countries.
Many
of
our
trade
partners
and
no
one
wants
it,
and
and
no
one
wants
to
get
it.
So
when
you
find
it
in
your
state,
is
it
is
a
significant
find
and
one
that
we
need
to
take
very
seriously.
L
J
J
So
the
way
these
operations
generally
work
is
is
usda
as
our
federal
leaders
in
implant
regulatory
they
partner
with
the
state
regulatory
agency
in
south
carolina,
that's
clemson,
university
department
of
plant
industry,
so
we
partnered
together
on
june
11th
and
deployed
to
that
hollywood
community.
There
in
the
stonewall
links
golf
course
subdivision
in
hollywood,
and
we
were
able
to
immediately
confirm
that
that
the
pest
was
there.
There
were
infested
trees
in
the
surrounding
area
and
we
began
our
our
plant
pest
emergency
response
at
that
time.
J
So
since
that
date,
we've
been
actively
surveying
and
getting
boots
on
the
ground,
so
major
props
to
usda
for
supplying
most
of
that
manpower
there
to
help
us
survey
in
the
meantime,
and-
and
since
that
time,
we've
been
able
to
implement
a
quarantine
for
for
that
area
of
hollywood
and
that's
approximately
58.6
square
miles
and
and
we
can
provide
details
about
what
a
quarantine
means
if
you
would
like,
but
but
essentially
that
quarantine
just
helps
us
to
keep
the
pest
in
that
location
to
help
prevent
additional
spread.
J
While
we
pursue
eradication
efforts
and
the
major
eradication
efforts
here
are
removing
all
life
stages
of
the
pest
from
from
those
areas,
so
that
will
involve
tree
removals
and
again
we
can
answer
any
questions
you
have
about
those,
but
the
biggest
thing
that
we
like
to
share
before
I
pass
it
off
to
miss
dean
to
cover
her
parts
are
discussing
what
why
this
why
this
pest
is
more
important
than
others
we
might
find
here
in
south
carolina.
J
The
biggest
thing
is
this
pest
does
kill
trees,
it
doesn't
kill
trees
in
a
way
that
many
other
pests
do
it's
such
a
large
beetle.
It's
it's
approximately
one
and
a
half
inches
long
about
a
half
inch
wide.
The
larva
is
similar
in
size,
so
it
lays
several
eggs
on
a
tree.
Then
those
larvae
bore
throughout
the
tree,
creating
what
I
like
to
call
three-eighths
to
half-inch
size
drill
bit
size
holes
throughout
the
tree.
If
you
get
enough
of
those
through
a
tree,
it
breaks
down
the
structural
integrity
of
that
tree.
J
J
Impacts
which
we
haven't
talked
much
about,
but
you
know
having
this
pest
in
south
carolina
any
in
the
united
states
if
left
unaddressed,
could
could
significantly
negatively
impact
trade
so
something
that
we
want
to
eradicate
as
quickly
as
possible
and
I'll
pass
it
off
to
miss
dean.
To
add
a
few
more
things
to
that.
C
Thanks
steven
yeah,
so
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
and
talk
about
what
we
have
done
since
we've
been
down
here.
As
steven
said,
you
know,
we've
had
boots
on
the
ground
since
about
june.
In
that
time,
we've
been
focusing
primarily
on
detection
and
delimitation
survey.
We've
got
people
out
in
on
the
landscape
in
the
woods,
interacting
with
property
owners
and
getting
permission
to
actually
survey
their
trees,
because
that's
our
primary
mode
of
identifying
infested
trees.
C
That's
what
we're
looking
for
primarily
are
the
infested
trees,
not
the
beetle
itself,
but
we
have
completed
pretty
much
a
first
delimitation
survey,
so
we've
identified
the
extent
of
the
infestation
and
since
june
we
have
found
about
3
100
infested
trees,
and
we
continue
to
find
more
and
through
those
delimitation
efforts
with
the
survey
we
were
able
to
identify
at
least
the
preliminary
extent
of
the
infestation
and
state
and
federal
quarantine.
Orders
were
issued
back
in
october
to
put
58.6
square
miles
under
quarantine.
C
So
you
know
the
reason
this
is
important
for
charleston
is
that
there
are
porsche
western
portions
of
charleston
and
john's
island
over
in
that
area,
where
savannah,
highway
and
main
road
meet
that
are
within
that
quarantined
area.
I
think
there's
only
been
a
couple
of
infested
trees
found
in
actual
properties
that
are
listed
as
charleston
but,
as
stephen
said,
those
infested
trees.
C
They
do
have
to
be
removed
because
of
the
nature
of
how
the
beetle
infests
the
tree,
there's
really
no
other
strategy
other
than
removing
the
tree
and
chipping
it
up
to
destroy
all
stages
of
that
insect,
and
we
do
intend
to
start
tree
removals
next
week
in
hollywood
in
some
of
the
the
most
impacted
areas
where
we've
had
trees
standing
for
a
couple
months,
since
we
first
detected
them.
C
C
You
know
there
is
also
the
intention
to
have
a
full-time
asian
longhorn,
beetle
cooperative
eradication
program
set
up
in
the
area.
I'm
a
temporary
employee
right
now.
C
You
know
I
I
normally
work
in
another
part
of
the
country
and
I'm
just
here
on
temporary
assignment,
so
we
do
plan
on
hiring
full-time
staff
and
we've
been
working
really
closely
with
clemson
and
the
college
of
charleston
to
set
up
a
base
of
operations
and
an
office
in
hollywood,
and
we,
you
know,
intend
to
be
in
the
area
for
several
years
until
we
eradicate
asian
long-form
beetle,
because
that
is
our
goal.
It
has
been
accomplished
in
other
areas.
C
This
is
the
sixth
state
to
identify
an
asian
longhorn
beetle
infestation
and
we
have
declared
eradication
in
other
areas.
So
we
know
it's
possible
and
that's
ultimately,
our
goal-
and
you
know,
through
all
of
these
operations
we've
been
doing
survey
the
quarantine.
C
We've
been
doing
a
lot
of
outreach
efforts
as
well,
and
we
are
really
we
think
it's
really
important
to
get
community
buy-in
get
property
owner
permission.
C
You
know
we're
working
with
private
landowners
every
step
of
the
way
from
when
we
first
step
on
their
property
to
do
survey
through
the
tree
removals,
and
even
after
that,
we
follow
up
to
make
sure
that
everything's,
okay
properties
have
been
restored
after
tree
removals
have
been
conducted,
so
that's
really
important
for
us
just
making
sure
the
community
is
involved,
that
they
know
what
we're
doing
that
we're
being
as
transparent
as
possible,
and
you
know
that's
that's
a
primary
reason
also
that
we
wanted
to
have
this
meeting
and
be
here
was
to
you
know,
be
available
to
answer
your
questions,
but
also
find
out
in
what
way
you
would
like
to
be
stay
informed
as
to
what
our
operation,
what
our
program's
doing
on
a
daily
basis.
C
So
you
know,
I
guess
I
just
wanted
to
open
it
open
it
up
for
questions
see
if
anyone
had
any
any
any
questions.
A
Well,
we'll
take
any
questions
and
I'll
say
in
advance,
kim
and
stephen
thank
you
for
being
with
us
tonight
and
sharing
this,
and
we
have
an
arborist
with
the
city
of
charleston
david
grant
and
I'm
going
to
make
sure
he
connects
with
y'all.
So
we
continue
communications
and
do
whatever
we
can
to
help
you
in
your
efforts.
I
I
must
admit
I
didn't
know
a
lot
about
the
asian
lonesome
beetle,
but
it
sounds
like
that.
Somebody
we
don't
want
to
welcome
to
our
city,
councilmember
gregory.
A
C
So
I'll
take
a
stab
at
some
of
those
questions.
Asian
longhorn
beetle
primarily
attacks
maple
trees,
which,
while
those
are
fairly
widespread
in
this
area,
they're
not
nearly
as
frequent.
We
don't
you
don't
have
as
high
density
of
maple
trees.
As
you
know,
the
other
asian
longhorn
beetle
eradication
programs
in
like
ohio
or
mid
the
midwest
the
northeast,
so
that's
a
benefit,
there's
not
as
much
host
trees
down
here.
C
They
do
attack
several
other
hardwood
trees,
but
they
do
not
attack
oaks
or
pines
or
some
of
the
other
really
valuable
tree
species
that
south
carolina
has.
C
We
did
remove
one
tree
so
far
and
sent
that
up
to
our
researchers
in
massachusetts
to
do
some
dendrochronology
and
they
dated
that
one
tree
back
to
eight
years
so
2012..
We
know
it's
been
in
the
area
since
at
least
2012.
it
could
be,
it
could
have
been
here
longer.
We
don't
know
yet
we
do
plan
to
do
some
more
to
do
some
more
sampling
to
see
if
we
can
find
any
older
infestation,
but
in
the
other
areas
of
the
united
states,
where
we
found
asian
longhorn
beetle.
C
K
A
C
A
C
Yeah,
I
don't
know
that
it
will
have
any
impact
on
flooding.
It's
a
pretty
widespread
area
where
we're
going
to
be
taking
out
those
trees,
and
it's
not
you
know
we're
not
like
clear
cutting
it's
very,
very
selective
harvesting,
so
there
should
be
plenty
of
other
trees.
You
know
left
in
the
area
to
prevent
any
sort
of
major
flooding
issues.
C
A
A
All
right,
so
we
don't
have
any
public
hearing
matters
tonight.
Next
up
is
approval
of
our
city
council
minutes
from
october
27th.
M
A
Any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it:
next
up
would
be
our
citizens
participation
period
and
madam
clerk,
if
you
will
help
lead
us
through
that.
A
Yes,
let's,
let's
say
two
minutes
would
be
fine,
yes,
ma'am.
A
B
N
We
have
placed
hard
copies
of
the
15
recommendations
made
in
the
new
hampshire
report
to
the
to
the
into
the
council
mail
out
with
the
clerk
the
council
clerk,
and
we
filed
a
link
to
the
report
in
its
entirety
with
the
council
clerk
to
be
sent
to
you.
It
is
the
most
thorough
and
well
documented
study
done
thus
far
on
the
wireless
radiation
issue.
The
commission
consisted
of
medical
doctors,
engineers,
a
scientist
state
agency
members
and
two
industry
industry
representatives.
N
N
O
You
good
evening,
I'm
also
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
charleston
coalition
for
wireless
safety
standards.
I'm
making
remarks
regarding
recommendation
number
seven
in
the
new
hampshire
report.
As
you
know,
the
residents
of
charleston
are
opposed
to
small
sale
antennas
on
school
properties
and
in
front
of
homes.
We
have
mounted
a
campaign
to
educate
school
administrators
and
we
feel
confident
that
students
in
charleston
county
schools
will.
O
O
New
wireless
antenna
located
on
a
municipal
right-of-way
that
it
be
set
back
from
schools
and
residences
they
state.
This
should
be
enforced
by
the
municipality
during
the
permit
process.
Unless
the
owners
of
the
residents
waive
the
restrictions.
The
current
charleston
small
cell
ordinance
does
not
have
a
setback
restriction
from
home.
The
current
ordinance
allows
a
small
cell
antenna
to
be
placed
every
300
feet
which
will
be
on
every
lamppost
in
our
neighborhoods
in
your
neighborhood
in
most
charleston
area
neighborhoods,
the
lampposts
are
directly.
O
O
I
was
involved
in
the
moultrie
middle
school
project,
where
parents
were
100,
opposed
to
a
cell
tower
being
placed
directly
on
school
property,
and
please
note
that
the
tower
of
the
plan
last
november
was
that
that
tower
was
going
to
be
situated
directly
on
the
recessed
field,
next
to
the
cafeteria
and
gym
in
direct
correlation
with
where
the
students
spend
eight
hours
a
day.
So
we
really
really
please
need
these
restrictions
for
these
to
be
set
back
from
homes
and
schools.
Thank
you
very
much,
city,
council
and
mayor.
B
I
P
P
P

After
an
antenna
is
erected.
The
telecom
companies
can
change
the
signal,
strength
or
the
type
without
notifying
the
city
or
the
residents.
Since
the
measuring
meters
for
5g
millimeter
waves
are
so
expensive.
Homeowners
will
not
be
able
to
purchase
on
their
own,
so
they
will
have
no
idea
what
amount
of
rf
exposure
their
children
are
receiving.
P
Our
current
small
cell
ordinance
references
only
a
maximum
permissible
rf
exposure
report,
eight
of
the
small
cell
applications
we
reviewed,
had
not
even
filed
an
fcc
compliance
report,
so
in
the
area
of
monitoring
wireless
radiation
emissions,
our
current
small
cell
ordinance
is
grossly
lacking.
We
urge
you
to
read
that
new
hampshire
report
recommendation
number
five,
especially
and
revise
our
small
cell
ordinance.
Accordingly.
Q
Hey,
I
am
michelle
capps
and
I'm
also
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
charleston
coalition
for
wireless
safety
standards,
I'm
addressing
recommendation
number
three
of
the
new
hampshire
5g
report.
Recommendation
number
three
suggests
requiring
signs
on
every
5g
antenna
indicating
rf
radiation
as
being
emitted.
The
signs
should
be
at
eye
level
and
visible
from
nine
feet
away.
They,
they
include
a
sample
sign
in
appendix
one.
Q
Q
Q
As
electro
smog
increases,
more
and
more
people
are
becoming
electro
sensitive.
The
part
of
our
population
must
be
alerted
when
powerful
rf
emissions
are
close
by
all
15
new
hampshire
report.
Recommendations
clearly
indicate
that
the
commission
concludes
wireless
radiation
can
be
harmful
to
the
public.
This
is
the
first
of
many
reports
coming
to
the
program.
We
urge
you
to
read
this
report
and
see
for
yourself
that
it
is
authentic.
It
stands
on
scientific
information
and
is
a
product
of
league
legislative
action.
R
R
We
had
a
mediation
and
thanks
to
eric
schultz,
the
property
owner
and
the
city
have
reached
what
both
sides
believe
to
be
a
very
beneficial
arrangement
for
the
protection
of
the
tree.
We
asked
that
council
approve
the
settlement
so
that
we
can
get
it
approved
by
circuit
court.
Thank
you.
B
S
B
And
those
are
that
was
everyone
that
had
signed
up
to
speak
and
then
for
the
comments
that
we
received.
19
people
were
in
support
of
charleston
coalition
for
wireless
safety
standards.
Historic
charleston
foundation
said
that
they
were
grateful
to
the
mayor
and
council
for
granting
a
reprieve
from
demolition
of
the
saint
julian
divine
center
smokestacks.
B
They
requested
that
council
set
a
date
for
the
task
force
meeting
in
order
to
allow
time
to
identify
a
preservation
solution.
One
person
imposed
a
mask
mandate
and
believed
that
mask
wearing
should
be
optional
and
one
person
expressed
concerns
about
how
uber
treated
its
drivers
and
that
those
are
all
the
comments
that
we
received.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
so
it's
come
to
my
attention
from
council
member
del
shapo
that
one
of
our
newly
elected
officials
is
on
the
call
here
with
us.
That
would
be
my
fellow
rotarian
mark
smith,
who
got
elected
to
the
house
district
representing
daniel
island
and
the
king
hoy
peninsula
mark.
Are
you
on
the
line?
Can
you
hit
star
six,
maybe
and
address
us
for
just
a
moment?
We
want
to
congratulate
you.
M
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
and
staff,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
just
have
a
brief
hello.
Thank

so
very
much
for
your
hard
work.
M
I've
been
watching
you
online
and
watching
your
facial
expressions
as
you
go
through
the
items
having
sat
in
those
council
chairs
one
term
myself,
I'm
looking
forward,
mr
mayor
and
council
members
to
being
a
very
strong
advocate
and
voice
for
not
only
district
99
but
all
of
the
low
country
for
all
of
the
many
items
and
issues
we
have
facing
us
serving
our
joint
constituents
around
the
area.
M
My
cell
number
hasn't
changed.
It's
published
everywhere.
It's
pretty
much
public
knowledge,
happy
to
share
that
again
here
on
public
record,
eight
four,
three,
four

two
442-8371,
mr

council
members.
Please
never
hesitate
to
call
me
for
any
issue
and
I
look

A
Thank

I'll,
always
call
you
mark
and
congratulations
again,
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
So
thank
you.
That
concludes
our
citizens
participation
period,
and
so
next
up
is
our
participations
and
communications.
We
have
approval
for
appointments
to
the
church,
creek
stormwater
drainage
basin
authority.
D
Yes,
sir,
I
would
like
it
if,
if
council
would
be
inclined
to
defer
this
matter
to
the
next
meeting,
because
I'd
like
to
have
a
conversation
with
you
regarding
a
couple
of
these
appointments
before
we
take
a
vote
I'll
second.
P
A
Any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
Next
we
have
a
few
reappointments
one
new
appointment
to
the
commission
of
the
arts.
A
Second,
discussion
on
this
one
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
next
we're
honored
blessed
to
have
with
us
a
long-standing
member
and
chair
of
our
history,
commission
harlan
greene,
professor
greene,
to
give
us
a
report
from
the
history
commission,
arlen.
T
Well,
thank
you
all
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
be
here
I'll.
Try
to
be
as
brief
as
I
can,
and
we
are
submitting
a
resolution
this
evening,
and
I
thought
what
I
would
do
is
maybe
explain
what
it
is.
It's
not
specifically
focused
per
se
on
the
john
c
calhoun
statue,
but
the
larger
issue
of
history.
It's
making
marking
and
it's
unmarking.
T
soon
after
the
city
passed
that
historic
zoning
law
in
1931,
preserving
the
body
of
history
of
the
city
and
setting
up
the
board
of
architectural
review,
people
in
the
city
also
realized.
They
needed
a
commission
to
sort
of
interpret
the
soul
of
the
city.
So
for
nearly
90
years,
citizens
have
been
tapped
for
their
knowledge
of
history
and
have
been
appointed
by
the
mayor
and
approved
by
council
to
help
charleston
navigate
and
interpret
all
of
its
public
monuments
in
plaques
that
are
on
public
property.
T
I've
been
on
the
commission,
I
think
about
12
years
and
have
been
chairman
for
about
four.
During
that
time,
I
have
to
say
that
I've
witnessed
citizens
in
action.
Those
of
us
who
are
black
and
white
men
and
women.
Those
of
us
who
are
centrist
left
of
center
and
right
of
center
we've
all
been
putting
our
personal
opinions
aside
to
work
without
bias
to
interpret
the
history
of
our
city.
T
T
T
T
T
T
A
D
Mr
mayor,
I
have
the
pleasure
also
to
be
appointed
to
this
commission
by
you
and
it
has
been
a
truly
a
remarkable
pleasure.
Harlan
is
an
amazing
chairman
and
he
is
absolutely
right.
We
have
so
many
different
personalities
and
so
many
different
beliefs
on
that
commission.
But
what
ends
up
happening
is
because
we
have
so
many
different
backgrounds.
We
end
up
coming
with
up
with
something
that
is
really
a
compromise
and
we
do
everything
we
can
to
stick
straight
to
the
facts
and
not
let
our
personal
beliefs
get
involved.
D
So
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
with
the
racial
conciliation,
commission
and
and
in
the
history
commission,
you
have
a
subcommittee
in
the
racial
conciliation
commission
that
is
also
discussing
these
items,
and
I
just
I
support
harlan
and
the
fact
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
working
together
and
that
we're
not
working
on
things
separately,
which
wouldn't
be
a
good
thing.
So
I
just
I.
I
told
the
commission
that
this
would
be
a
good
idea
just
to
spend
for
our
new
members
of
council.
D
Just
to
note
that
our
history
commission
is
here
they're
working
diligently
and
it
would
be
good
for
them
to
submit
the
report
to
the
recreation
commission
on
a
quarterly
basis.
Thank
you.
A
Terrific,
that's
a
that's
a
great
idea
of
council
member
griffin
and
mr
chairman
harlan
to
have
a
quarterly
report
to
council.
It
would
just
keep
us
more
connected.
Councilmember
gregory.
E
Yeah,
cosmic
griffin,
thank
you
for
that,
because
you're
also
on
the
commission
for
equity
inclusion
and
racial
conciliation.
So
I'm
glad
you're
in
both
places.
E
I
would
like
to
add
to
what
councilman
griffin
said,
and
that
is
to
make
sure
that
there
is
coordination
with
our
subcommittee
on
monuments
and
memorials
just
so
that
we're
all
sort
of
in
the
same
space
and
and
not
necessarily
in
opposition
to
each
other.
So
I'm
glad
that
councilman
griffin
is
a
member
because
he's
he's
in
both
camps
and
I'm
sure
that
he'll
make
sure
that
that
kind
of
coordination
exists,
because
I
think
it's
very
very
important
at
this
point.
E
Given
the
fact
that
the
mayor
has
established
this
commission
and
this
commission
is
charged
with
specific
actions,
specifically
as
it
relates
to
memorials
and
monuments,
and
those
recommendations
will
be
coming
to
the
mail
within
the
next
90
days,
and
I'm
I'm
going
to
make
sure
that
that
subcommittee
coordinates
with
the
history
commission.
A
Any
opposed
the
eyes
have
it
again,
mr
chairman
harlan,
thank
you
for
your
service
and
it
was
very,
very
timely
and
appropriate
that
you
came
to
us
this
evening
with
this
resolution.
Thank
you
for
that,
and.
E
If
harlan
can,
it
would
be
great
if
there
can
be
a
meeting
between
himself
and
the
chairman
of
the
subcommittee
on
memorials
and
and
and
I
think
it'll
make
things
a
bit
more
smoother
and.
U
T
T
K
T
A
She
learned
from
the
best
there
you
go
so
y'all.
Pardon
me
this
wasn't
on
the
agenda,
but
while
we're
talking
about
committees
and
commissions,
we
do
we'll
have
our
first
meeting
of
the
smoke
stack
task
force
next
week.
I
think
that's
been
set.
We
decided
to
wait
until
this
reinspection
got
done
last
week
and
the
report
is
supposed
to
be
in
our
hands
this
week.
So
I
have
called
that
group
together.
A
I
don't
think
it
required
an
approval
of
counsel
after
you
all
set
it
up,
but
they
they
will
be
meeting
for
their
first
time
next
week.
It
includes
council
members,
stealth,
chapeau,
mitchell,
a
representative
of
the
historic
charleston
foundation
and
preservation
society,
two
staff,
members
and
two
members
of
the
east
side
neighborhood.
A
A
Susan
did
we
have
a
motion
already
to
approve
second,
second,
any
discussion
or
questions
all
the
time,
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
aye,
aye,
aye,
aye
and
oppose
the
eyes.
Have
it
next?
A
brief
update
on
our
city's
response
to
coven
19.
we've
got
nothing
to
vote
on
tonight,
so
this
should
be
brief.
Tracy.
V
V
Thank
you,
mayor
and
good
evening,
council
members.
V
V
V
Looking
at
the
city
at
the
city,
zip
code
level-
and
you
can
see
by
this
line,
we
we've
had
just
a
mild
trend
upwards
in
in
cases
at
the
city,
zip
code
level,
and
if
we
look
at
the
seven
day
pattern,
you
can
kind
of
see
how
we've
kind
of
gone
up
and
down,
but
still
kind
of
a
just,
a
small,
steady
trend
upwards.
V
Over
the
last
seven
days,
it
was
a
14
decrease
in
cases
compared
to
the
previous
week.
But
if
we
look
at
the
per
week
prior,
it
was
actually
a
22
increase
in
cases
a
couple
of
things
are
kind
of
starting
to
jump
out
at
me.
If
we
do
look
at
the
zip
code
level,
29401,
the
number
of
active
cases
per
thousand
is
a
little
is
a
little
higher
as
well
as
that
as
two
nine
four
five
five.
V
So
those
two
zip
codes
have
a
little
little
higher
prevalence
of
active
cases
and
their
growth
rates
are
a
little
bit
higher.
So
that's
something
to
to
keep
keep
an
eye
on
over
the
next
week
or
so
employee
cases.
We
seem
to
be
holding
very,
very
steady
with
employee
cases,
which
is
very
good
news.
We
currently
have
three
active
cases
since
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic.
V
So
our
medical
partners
are
seem
to
be
very
nervous,
and
I
think
rightfully
so,
about
the
upcoming
holidays
and
and
and
kind
of
everyone's
plans
for
that.
So
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
number
one
kind
of
show
this
graph
of
canada,
their
cases
in
canada.
Since
canadian
thanksgiving
you
can
see
that
they've
seen
a
surge
in
cases
since
then,
and-
and
I
and
from
my
understanding
from
z
heck
is-
they
are
seeing
some
clusters
of
cases
as
a
result
of
kind
of
family
gatherings
such
as
birthday
parties
and
similar.
V
A
Any
questions
for
tracy
young
all
right,
thank
you.
Tracy
appreciate
the
update
and
let's
keep
up
the
good
work
so
we'll
go
on
now
to
our
committee
reports.
First
up
is
committee
on
public
safety
council
member
shade.
H
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
members
of
council.
The
public
safety
committee
met
yesterday
I'm
afternoon
at
two
o'clock.
We
received
an
update
from
amy
bartsch
on
the
turning
leaf
program.
We've
tried
to
get
an
update
from
her
on
a
yearly
basis.
H
She
has
can
continue
to
experience
success
with
the
number
of
folks
that
she
has
in
her
program.
She
limits
it
to
50
men
out
of
prison
and
her
recidivism
rate
is
down
to
80
success
rate
of
keeping
people
out
of
going
back
to
to
prison
being
charged
with
a
crime.
The
national
rate
is
67
after
three
years,
so
she's
ahead
of
that
curve.
H
She
gave
us
a
report
on
the
number
of
her
t-shirt
business
that
they
successfully
launched
and
had
sales
of
over
230
000
with
that
she's
been
nationally
recognized,
she's
opening
up
a
program
in
colombia,
and
I
think
she's
also
trying
to
get
that
out
in
other
states
as
well
so
good
report
from
her
good
success
rate.
The
city
was
one
of
the
first
municipalities
to
be
successful
and
helping
her
with
this
program
and
the
prior
administration.
So
we
were
always
glad
to
get
an
update
from
her.
H
We
got
a
report
and
we
approved
the
agreement
with
the
charleston
housing
authority.
I
think
this
agreement,
and
also
the
justice
innovation
lab,
is
what
we
had
discussed
in
our
ways
and
means
report,
and
if
steve
rumlin
is
on
the
line
steve,
are
you
available
to
sort
of
give
us
a
quick
synopsis
of
those
two
items
on
the
justice
renovation
and
the
housing
authority?.
U
I
am
so
the
housing
authority
agreement
is
for
four
housing
authority
unit
officers,
which
is
similar
to
what
we
had
last
year
in
previous
years.
This
is
the
contract
for
2021.
U
one
one
thing
that
is
different
is
that
we
used
to
provide
a
supervisor-
that's
not
going
to
happen
this
next
year,
and
this
is
falling
under
our
community,
oriented
policing,
division
and
captain
thompson's
in
in
charge
of
that.
So
there's
four
officers.
They
work
from
9am
to
7pm
monday
through
thursday
one
week
and
then
the
next
they
rotate
to
friday
through
monday.
So
they
cover
all
the
days
and
they'll
all
be
working
together
in
the
in
the
housing
units.
H
And
then,
if
the
report
on
this,
we
also
include
with
the
agreement
with
justice
innovation
lab
which
ties
into
our
racial
bias.
Audit.
That's.
U
Correct
so
a
couple
of
the
recommendations
and
issues
that
came
out
of
the
racial
bias
audit
had
to
do
with
our
traffic
stop
data,
how
we
analyze
that
to
determine
what
that
actually
means,
and
also
some
data
collection
practices.
U
We
have
several
different
systems
that
that
we
work
with,
and
this
would
hopefully
help
us
to
coordinate
between
those
systems.
So
we
get
accurate
data
that
we
can
report
to
the
public
and
then
at
the
end
of
this
project
they
would
also
be
producing
a
report
with
their
recommendations,
any
recommendations
they
have
with
regards
to
changes
to
policy
and
the
results
of
their
analysis
of
our
data.
H
And
we
recommended
approval
on
both
of
those
items
and
then,
finally,
the
other
I've
got
you
available
to
see.
We
also
agreed
to
mend
our
ordinance
dealing
with
the
definition
of
abandoned
buildings,
and
you
want
to
talk
about
that.
Real
quick
as
well.
U
Right
so,
under
the
code
section
21-54,
it
defines
what
a
vacant
building
is,
and
it
currently
is
that
it
has
to
be
both
unoccupied
and
unsecured.
In
order
to
meet
the
definition
of
a
vacant.
Building
we've
changed
the
and
to
an
ore,
so
it
basically
clarifies
and
broadens
the
definition
of
a
vacant
building.
U
It
does
exempt
buildings
that
are
unoccupied
residences,
second
residences
or
if
a
a
family
is
on
vacation
for
an
extended
period
of
time,
it
would
not
apply
to
those
buildings
and
that
it
also
requires
the
owners
to
put
up
trespassing
signs
in
order
that
the
police
department
can
place
people
that
are
on
the
property
of
these
vacant
structures
on
trespass,
so
so
they're
not
living
in
these
in
these
vacant
buildings
or
around
them.
K
A
H
H
We've
asked
all
the
judges
to
join
us
for
this
meeting
all,
but
one
appeared,
as
you
know,
we
elected
and
appointed
two
new
lindsay
bird
and
emanuel
ferguson
vandal
to
handle
those
ferguson
to
handle
the
duis
cases.
As
you
know,
we've
had
a
backlog
of
cases
pending
in
my
municipal
court
system.
H
Unfortunately,
with
the
clova
19,
the
chief
justice
of
the
united
states
supreme
court
issued
a
memorandum
regarding
the
administration
of
justice
in
on
all
courts
from
circuit
court
down
to
summary
courts,
including
municipal
courts.
So
they
were
operating
under
a
different
kind
of
set
of
rules
among
how
to
handle
jury
and
non-jury
cases.
All
jury
cases
have
been
suspended
and
then
they've
been
dealing
remotely
with
other
cases
on
non-jury
matters.
H
These
the
chief
justice
issued
a
memorandum
on
september
25th
of
this
year
to
read
crank
up
jury
trials.
The
court
administration
for
the
city
has
submitted
a
plan.
It
has
gone
through
our
city
review
and
is
before
the
court
administration
in
colombia.
For
that
plan
to
be
approved,
there
was
something
which
needed
to
be
done
so,
hopefully,
either
by
the
end
of
this
month
or
probably
or
like
in
december,
we'll
have
the
capacity
to
start
having
jury
trials
in
municipal
court
and
as
lawyers.
H
H
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
that
and
that's
critical.
So
in
the
past
we
have
not
met
with
court
administration
on
a
regular
basis.
Our
goal
is
to
do
that
on
a
yearly
basis,
so
we
can
report
the
council
before
the
end
of
our
calendar
year.
What
is
going
on
over
there
to
make
sure
that
our
citizens
are
being
treated
fairly
in
the
municipal
court
cases
are
being
handled
on
a
national
on
a
fair
manner,
but
also
a
judicial
manner
as
well,
so
nothing
to
vote
on
there.
H
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
all
an
update
as
to
where
we've
been
standing
with
moving
cases
and
that
I
think
we
made
a
very
good
choice
with
our
two
hires
over
there
and
so
we're
very,
very
pleased
with
the
progress
being
made
great.
A
Of
public
safety
hearing,
not
thank
you
for
that
report.
Moving
on
to
committee
on
public
works,
councilmember
waring
thank.
F
You,
mr
mayor
committee,
on
public
works
met
yesterday.
We
passed
items
a
one
and
two
which
were
dedication
of
roadways
and
I'll
move
for
the
approval.
F
The
stormwater
report,
under
as
you
see
on
the
agenda
one
two,
three
four
and
five
all
passed
unanimously,
but
I'd
like
to
point
out
one
that
involved
council
of
governments
brought
forth
by
councilwoman
jackson,
where
the
city
and
the
town
of
james
island
going
to
be
working
on
a
drainage
project
and
cost
sharing
to
get
it
done
so
anytime.
We
can
call
share
with
government.
It
makes
sense.
These
are
alliances.
F
You
know
five
years
ago
we
didn't
have
so
thank
you,
council,
lady
jackson,
for
bringing
that
forward.
Mr
fountain,
do
you
have
any
of
these
that
you
want
to
highlight
that
you'd
like
well?
It
do
walk.
I'm
sorry
was
talked
about
in
ways
and
means,
but
to
do
up
watershed
agreement
with
the
county
and
the
city
is
another
one.
That's
going
to
be
cost-sharing,
bringing
solutions
that
I
believe
touch
on.
F
I
think
it
was
five
council
districts,
so
that's
really
important
and
that's
in
one
of
the
older
areas
where
development
was
made
prior
to
stormwater
rules
even
being
on
the
books.
So
to
speak
so
anytime,
you
can
go
into
the
older
areas
and
rectify
what
wasn't
done.
Initially,
it's
a
big
victory
front
for
the
peak.
Mr
fountain
is
anything
you
want
to
highlight.
G
Councilman,
I
think
the
the
highlight
of
the
duop
was
definitely
the
right
one
to
focus
on.
I
think
that's
a
great
thing
to
be
moving
from
the
conceptual
evaluation
work
into
some
real
design
and
permanent
work,
so
we
can
keep
going
towards
construction.
So
I
appreciate
you
already
doing
a
good
job
with
that.
One.
A
A
second
all
right,
so,
if
I
may
add
to
the
discussion
before
we
accept
those,
there
were
two
items
that
did
not
convey
over
to
ways
and
means.
A
One
was
a
discussion
of
a
small
project
for
highland
street
on
on
on
james
island
that
councilmember
jackson
brought
forward,
and
it's
another
cooperation
between
us
and
another
governmental
entity.
So
we're
going
to
work,
we
agreed
to
work
together
with
the
town
of
james
island
on
a
small
project
there,
but
importantly,
number
b
little
roman
numeral
4
was
our
application
for
a
similar
community
development
block
grant
for
the
earhart
tunnel
extension
and
maybe
we're
going
to
come
back
to
ways
and
means
once
it
gets
more
specific.
A
But
the
one
from
cooper
jackson
was
on
ways
of
means,
but
earhart
was
not.
So
I
just
thought
I'd
point
that
out
matt
is:
is
that
going
to
come
back
to
council,
or
is
this
the
only.
G
Yes,
yes,
so
there's
two
different
application
deadlines
for
those
two
grants.
The
design
application
deadline
is
before
the
next
council
meeting
the
construction
implementation
funding
application
is
after
the
next
council
meeting,
so
we
are
intending
to
bring
that
one
back
it
next
ways
and
means
with
more
information.
It's
also
more
substantive
component
of
the
drainage
fund,
rather
than
the
the
design
one
which
is
matched
out
of
the
tiff,
so
has
it
has
readily
available
funding.
I'm
already
allocated
towards
that
work.
L
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
do
think
that
it
might
be
important
for
the
public
and
especially
if
we
still
have
our
newly
elected
representative
smith,
congratulations,
mr
smith,
but
to
make
a
note
that
the
this
this
grant
I
mean,
maybe
we
would
be
applying
for
some
portion
of
it,
but
really
it's
a
it's
a
it's
an
alternate
way
of
trying
to
finance
what
everyone
agrees
is
a
very
strategic
addition
to
our
spring
fish
burn
drainage
program
to
be
able
to
to
add
musc
into
the
whole
flooding
mitigation
zone.
L
So
we
had
put
what
we
was
a
winning
request
to
the
legislature
and
the
governor
for
budgeting
this
year,
and
they
have
not
acted
on
that
and
I
really
think
that
you
know
we
have
a
new
delegation,
a
few
new
members
to
our
delegation,
and
I
don't
think
we
should
let
that
go.
That's
just
me
speaking
personally,
but
I
hope
that
we
can,
you
know,
sort
of
rally
as
a
council
to
make
sure
that
our
state
leaders
know
how
important
it
is
to
protect
the
medical
district
of
nothing
else.
A
E
I
E
Met
today
and
we
recommend
approval
of
the
two
items
as
presented.
F
Mr
mayor,
before
moving
on,
I
do
have
one
question
with
recreation
I
can.
Can
somebody
tell
me
where
the
I
guess
bid
process
is
for
the
carl
richardson
proc
over
in
go
jason
on
the
line?
Can
anybody
give
us
a
quick.
A
I
know
ruth
jordan
was
telling
me
today
at
our
staff
report
that
she
had
a
kind
of
pre-bid
meeting
over
there
with
prospective
mbe
business
participants,
so
I
I
believe
either
the
solicitation
has
gone
out
or
is
it
it's
about
to
go
out?
Okay,
well,.
E
This
is
west
chapel,
I'll
I'll,
get
an
update
tomorrow
and
make
sure
that
we
send
that
out
to
you
for
sure.
A
Thank
you
wes,
so
back
to
you,
councilmember
gregory,
on
committee
on
ways
of
means.
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
take
one
through
five
together
any
discussion
on
any
of
the
five
hearing
done
all
in
favor.
Please
say:
aye.
E
S
E
R
A
And
this
is
to
create
a
non-standard
service
district
for
undergrounding
in
the
country
club
2
neighborhood
over
on
james
island.
We've
got
a
motion
and
a
second
any
discussion
on
that
one
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
aye,.
M
G
A
Now,
since
this
undergrounding
matter
came
up,
if
it's
the
pleasure
of
counsel
it'll
just
take
about
three
or
four
minutes,
tracy
has
prepared
just
a
little
update
for
what
the
undergrounding
committee
has
been
up
to.
If
that
excites
you,
if
not,
we
can
put
it
off
to
a
future
meeting.
I
A
Okay,
casey
we'll
come
back
to
it
or
we
can
send
it
out
I'll.
Just
say
that
tracy
and
the
team
have
been
hard
at
work.
We're
going
to
be
coming
to
council,
probably
before
the
end
of
the
year,
with
a
major
change
to
our
ordinance
on
undergrounding
and
non-standard
service,
to
make
it
easier
to
use
money
that
we
got
sitting
in
the
bank
to
put
a
utilities
on
the
ground.
We
need
to
you,
utilize
those
funds
and
we've
been
working
on
a
very
thoughtful
plan
to
help
make
it
easier.
A
So
that
being
said,
the
next
regular
meeting
of
city
council
is
going
to
be
tuesday
november
24th.
You
all
have
a
happy
and
thankful
veterans
day
tomorrow.
Anything
else
for
the
good
of
the
order.
Councilmember
sac.
K
I'm
so
sorry
everyone
wants
to
go.
I
know
we
have
our
ad
hoc
budget
meeting
on
thursday,
correct,
correct.
R
K
To
attend,
but
as
we
work
through
the
budget
with
new
council
members,
is
there
an
opportunity
for
more
of
a
question
and
answer
type
of
budget
session
where
we
don't
necessarily
need
a
presentation,
but
I
have
several
questions
instead
of
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
have
the
opportunity,
as
a
new
council
member,
to
ask
those
questions.
Is
there?
Is
that
something.
A
We
also,
in
addition
to
the
ad
hoc
meeting,
which
I'm
happy
for
any
non-committee
member,
to
attend
and
ask
questions
at
that
meeting.
But
we'll
also
have
a
council
workshop
meeting
where
everyone
can
input
ask
questions.
There
may
be
a
presentation
with
it,
but
I
mean
that
that
that
hopefully
will
be
helpful
yeah
all
right.
Thank
you.
I
don't
have
the
date
on
the
top
of
my
head,
but
they're
both
coming
up
eighteen,
marriage
to
eighteen,
three,
okay,
councilmember
waring
and
then
griffin.
F
Oh,
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
miss
gardena
on
being
in
debt
to
city
council.
At
the
end
of
this
meeting,.
I
I
Favorite
places-
and
I
apologize
I'm
not
sure
why
my
camera
isn't
working
right
now,
but
I
bet
savant
you
won,
so
thank
you.
D
Yes,
sir,
I
just
we
talked
about
this
before
mr
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
see
if
you
were
still
playing
putting
up
one
more
public
hearing
for
people
to
give
their
response
to
the
budget
or
whatever
budget
request
that
we
could
put
that
out
there
one
more
time,
because
it
wasn't
that
well
attended.
Last
time.
B
A
Great
and
it'll
be
here
before
you
know
it
because
you
know
we'll
in
december
we
meet
the
first
and
third
right
back
and
forth.
I
know
we
got
agenda
meetings
almost
on
top
of
each
other
in
the
next
week,
great
all
right
there
being
no
further
business.
We
stand
adjourned.
I
think
we've
set
a
record
we're
off
to
a
good
start.
God.
