A
The

a
beer

that's
after
the
meeting.
B
C
A
Yeah

I
mean
that's,
that's
really
something
you
know
we,
our
family
sold
out
of
that
last
year,
so
I
used.
I.
A
G
F
F
I'm
so
pleased
to
see
we
have
some
special
guests
with
us
this
evening,
general
hank
taylor,
who
I'll
introduce
in
just
a
few
moments
and
brent
jonas,
with
the
crda
and
john
hagerty
and
willis
canny

Thank
you
all
for

Yes,
all
right!
F
So
how
are
we
doing
on
time
we're

there?
Oh
yeah,
all
right,
it's
after
5
30.,
y'all,
ready,
y'all
ready
to
get
going.
I'd
like
to
call
this
meeting
of
city
council
of
charleston
order.
Madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll?
Yes.
F
I
I
C
K
E
I
F
Here,
thank
you
and
to
open
our
meeting
tonight.
Councilmember
saccharin
is
going
to
lead
us
in
a
invocation
council
member
sacrament.
G
I
I
May
he
may
we
who
have
the
flexibility
to
care
for
our
children
when
schools
are
closed?
Remember
those
who
have
no
options.
May
we
who
have
to
cancel
our
trips,
remember
those
that
have
no
safe
place
to
go.
May
we
who
are
losing
our
margin
money
in
the
turmoil
of
the
economic
economic
market?
Remember
those
who
have
no
margin
at
all.
I
May
we
who
settle
in
for
quarantine
at
home?
Remember
those
who
have
no
home,
as
fear
grips
our
country.
Let
us
choose
love
during
this
time
when
we
may
not
be
able
to
physically
wrap
our
arms
around
each
other.
Let
us
find
ways
to
be
the
loving
embrace
of
god
to
our
neighbors,
amen,
amen,
amen,
amen,.
F
Thank
you
for
the
appropriate
prayer.
So
normally
we
start
out
with
a
report
on
the
city's
response
to
cobia
19,
I'm
just
going
to
mention
a
couple
of
things
and
we're
going
to
move
right
on
to
be
respectful
of
the
time
of
our
special
guests
with
us
this
evening.
F
So
shannon
will
not
be
making
a
report.
He
normally
starts
with
the
numbers,
but
you
can
all
see
those
in
the
media.
I
will
just
share
with
everyone
that,
as
you
would
know,
and
expect
city
staff
to
be
hard
at
work
and
our
response
from
everything
to
setting
up
serology
testing
for
city
employees,
which
should
be
able
to
start
in
the
next
day
or
two
tracy
mckee.
F
I'm
going
to
ask
her
to
make
a
presentation
to
you
on
friday,
she's
been
really
drilling
down
on
the
numbers
just
within
our
own
city
limits
and
has
been
meeting
with
the
folks
at
medical
university
to
basically
mimic
their
dashboard
for
statistics
about
the
coronavirus
within
our
own
city,
and
I
think
you're
gonna
find
that
very
informative.
F
She
ought
to
have
that
ready
for
presentation
on
friday
and
then
we're
also
drilling
down,
even
though
I
know
the
city
of
north
charleston
announced
today
that
they
were
reopening
at
a
date
certain
kind
of
the
modus
operandi
the
city's
bit
been
under,
as,
as
I
view
it
is,
we
we've
continued
to
be
open,
but
just
in
a
different
fashion
than
we
normally
were,
so
we're
still
conducting
all
our
regular
business
that
needs
to
be
conducted
online
on
the
phone
and
otherwise.
F
But
we
are
planning
on
you
know
the
physical
reopening
of
our
own
city
offices
and
and
farmers
markets
and
those
kinds
of
things.
So
the
team
is
now
working
on
on
those
issues
as
well.
So
without
further
ado-
and
I
see
four
guests
here-
who
I
quickly
shouted
out
their
names
general
taylor-
are
you
gonna
kick
off
if,
if
that's
appropriate,
so
general
hank
taylor
is
a
incredible
community.
F
A
volunteer
that
took
on
the
task
of
leading
a
group
called
one
region
that
was
not
put
together
specifically
for
this
task,
although
I
believe
the
lord
has
called
them
to
rise
to
this
occasion
for
just
this
time.
Their
purpose
really
was
a
broad
regional
purpose,
with
four
goals
in
mind.
If
you
don't
mind
me,
sharing
general
taylor
with
with
my
council,
the
four
values
or
goals
of
one
region,
as
it
was
established,
is
to
have
a
strong
and
resilient
economy
and
boy
is
being
resilient.
F
What
we're
all
about
right
now
number
two
is
to
have
attainable
opportunities
for
all
the
residents
of
the
tri-county
region,
for
them
to
live,
learn
and
earn
a
living
here.
Number
three
to
balance
growth
with
nurturing
our
unique
character.
As
we
all
know,
charleston
and
our
region
has
so
many
unique
things
we
value.
We
don't
want
to
lose
those
things
as
we
grow
and,
lastly,
being
a
connected
community.
F
F
It's
not
a
coincidence,
a
remarkable
opportunity
for
for
them
to
step
forward
and
help
lead
us
through
this
kind
of
troubling
time.
So
without
further
ado,
general
hank
taylor.
I
give
you
the
floor,
sir,
and
I
thank
you
for
being
with
us
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
L
Well.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
If
you
will
indulge
me
my
first
few
seconds
and
some
personal
thanks,
I
grew
up
on
the
east
side
of
charleston.
I
graduated
from
c.a
brown,
high
school,
and
so
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
this
council
is
a
significant
pleasure
and
honor
for
me.
So
if
you'll
allow
me
to
start
with
a
thank
you.
L
Thank
you.
Secondly,
I
I'd
like
to
thank
you
on
behalf
of
the
crda
represented
by
mr
john
hagerty,
the
metro
chamber,
represented
by
mr
willis
canty,
and
also
brent
jonas
who's,
also
working
at
the
crda.
L
L
Now,
I'm
sure
there
are
many
members
on
this
call
who
are
familiar
with
how
our
region
has
always
worked
together
for
economical
challenges,
going
all
the
way
back
to
when
the
navy
yard
closed.
Crda
was
actually
formed
as
a
result
of
that,
and
so
we've
been
working
economic
development
strategies
for
over
20
years.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
it
is
fortuitous
that
the
one
that
we're
working
now
is
called
one
region.
L
L
L
So
what
have
we
done
so
far?
I
will
tell
you:
it's
been
a
fast
two
and
a
half
weeks,
but
so
far,
we've
hired
a
consultant
talent
with
specific
skills
in
crisis
communications,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
to
make
sure
we
have
the
right
talent
so
that
our
messaging
and
our
communications
allow
us
to
build
confidence
and
trust
for
our
employers,
our
employees,
as
well
as
our
general
public.
L
So
we've
hired
them.
We
also
have
our
website
already
up
and
running
one
region,
reignite
dot,
org,
already
populated
with
information
within
the
next
few
days,
you're
going
to
see
our
plan
and
the
major
ingredients
in
that
plan
to
let
the
public
know
how
we
plan
to
safely
open
our
businesses
and
get
our
economy
going
because,
as
you
know,
commerce
only
starts
when
there's
confidence
among
consumers.
L
As
I
mentioned,
the
first
thing
we'll
put
out
you'll,
see
this
by
the
end
of
this
week.
Is
this
plan
closely
connected
with
that?
As
a
matter
of
fact,
you'll
see
coming
out
at
the
same
time,
our
first
issuance
of
industry,
specific
guidelines
and
we're
gonna
start
with
small
businesses,
and
then
we'll
do
food
and
beverage
and
then
we'll
work
our
way
through
those
parts
of
our
economy.
L
That
impacts
us
from
an
economic
standpoint,
so
we
often
run
and
spend
two
and
a
half
weeks
as
I
mentioned,
and
we
have
a
cross
section
of
people
helping
us
do
that,
but
we
do
have
two
foundational
supporters,
those
being
the
crda
and
the
metro
chamber
of
commerce.
L
K
Thank
you,
general.
First
of
all,
hello
to
all
my
friends
on
city
council
and
for
those
I
know
less
well.
I
want
to
say
how
much
we
appreciate
all
your
efforts
following
the
lead
of
the
mayor
and
all
the
good
work
you're
doing.
I
hope
you
find
it
finding
it
as
interesting
as
we
are
on
the
one
region
committee
and
gratifying
force.
Quite
frankly,
let
me
mention
a
couple
of
things
and
and
we're
glad
to
answer
a
lot
of
questions
and
willis
will
have
a
lot
more
to
add
as
well.
K
This
plan
we're
coming
out
with
will
be
a
living
document.
It's
not
gonna,
be
a
plan
that
says
yeah
this.
Is
it
we're
right
or
wrong
it
brent
jonas
has
worked
unbelievable
hours
with
others
on
leaning
the
best
from
plans
all
over
the
country
that
we've
seen
and
so
it'll
be
it'll,
be
a
living
vehicle,
we'll
update
it,
as,
as
you
know,
we
don't
even
know
today.
What's
really
it's
gonna,
look
what
it
really
might
look
like
in
30
days.
K
That's
different
for
any
other
reason
than
to
give,
as
the
general
said,
one
place
where
people
can
look
with
confidence
and
getting
the
good
information,
the
best
information
we
can
provide
and
then
I'll
finish
with
one
more
statement,
which
is
it's
not
going
to
do
us
much
good
to
open
if
we
don't
have
open
business,
if
we
don't
have
business
when
we
open,
and
so
one
of
our
goals
here
is
to
not
only
get
open
and
get
open
as
quickly
as
we
can,
but
to
do
it
safely
so
that
we
have
the
confidence
of
the
customer
and
the
employee.
M
Great,
thank
you,
general,
and
my
only
request
is
that
next
time
I
go
first
and
john
goes
second,
because
he
said
all
the
important
things
I
I
want
to
say
that
in
my
role
as
chairman
of
the
chamber,
we
are
trying
to
think
about
how
we
get
business
back,
how
we
reignite
our
economy,
but
this
doesn't
work
exactly
what
john
said.
If
we
don't
do
it
safely
and
we
don't
do
it
in
a
way
that
doesn't
inspire
confidence,
I
went
to
three
stores
today.
M
All
of
them
said
that
they
really
are
open,
but
there's
no
real
reason
for
them
to
be
open
because
they're
not
getting
people
coming
in
and
that's
just
a
lack
of
confidence.
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
help
instill
that
both
in
business
owners
and
then
consumers
I'll
end
with
that
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions.
F
All
right-
and
we
heard
from
the
three
heads
of
the
organization,
but
I
got
to
recognize
brent
jonas.
I
know
john
mint
shouted
out
to
him
a
moment
ago
as
to
how
hard
he's
been
working,
but
he's
really
been
doing
a
remarkable
effort
he's
on
the
staff
of
the
crda,
but
really
really
had
the
initial
idea
of
bringing
one
region
in
and
pulling
this
together.
Brent
you've
done
a
remarkable
job.
Would
you
like
to
address
the
council
as
well?
F
N
Mayor,
I
I
appreciate
your
leadership
in
bringing
us
the
idea
to
begin
with
and
having
the
confidence
in
crda
from
the
outset,
and-
and
it
was
just
a
natural
extension
that
we
take
something
that
is
already
in
place
to
to
utilize
the
one
region
platform
and
really
show
this
market.
What
acting
as
one
region
can
do
if
we
can't
act
as
one
region
to
to
respond
to
this,
which
is
probably
the
defining
crisis
of
all
of
our
lifetimes.
N
When
can
we
so
it's
been
a
thrill
to
pull
the
the
different
we
have?
We
have
three
counties:
the
five
largest
municipalities
and
and,
as
general
taylor
said,
close
to
30,
30
different
folks,
and
we've
been
working
with
the
public
information
officers
and
and
staff
from
all
over
all
over
the
three-county
region.
N
Mark
wilber
from
your
team
has
been
phenomenal,
been
a
great
liaison
with
us
and
helping
us
stay
in
touch
with
you
guys
at
the
city
level
and
again
I
can't
second
enough
what
what
my
three
leaders
have
said.
It's
about
it's
about
communication
and
it's
about
confidence
and
those
are
our
guiding
guiding
touchstones
and
it's
about
clarity
because,
as
you
all
know,
there
are
a
lot
of
different
messages
out
there
in
the
public
right
now
and
and
so
our
job
is
to
clearly
and
effectively
communicate.
L
Hey
brian,
mr
brent,
would
you
share
a
slide
of
the
people,
other
people
who
are
supporting
us
on
this
just
to
give
the
council
a
sense
of
the
cross
section
of
people?
That's
actually
helping
us
to
figure
this
out
as
we
go.
So
would
you
could
you
show
that
slide
real.
L
Quick,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
a
cross
section
of
people
supporting
us
on
this,
including
our
governments,
our
elected
officials,
volunteer,
non-profit
groups
etc,
and
these
are
the
people
that
make
up
the
executive
committee
when
we
sit
down
to
figure
out
what's
the
best
approach,
what's
the
best
next
step,
so
I
wanted
to
share
this
with
your
your
counsel
as
well,
so
they
get
a
sense
of
who
all
are
pushing
in
to
help
us
move
this
down
the
road.
Thank
you,
brett.
F
Well,
thank
you
again,
general
taylor
and
all
of
you.
I
did
want
council
to
know
that
I've
asked
councilman
saccharon
to
officially
represent
us
the
city
on
this
one
region
initiative.
F
I
also
wanted
to
share
just
kind
of
the
history
of
of
what
led
my
feeble
brain
to
think
of
asking
these
gentlemen
to
help
lead
this
effort,
but
it
was
some
weeks
ago
and
I'm
losing
track
of
time
lately,
but
when
it
was
announced,
the
college
of
charleston
did
the
study
of
how
many
jobs
had
already
been
lost,
and
this
was
like
two
weeks
after
the
initial
stay
at
home
and
it
was
announced
at
40,
000
jobs
in
the
food
and
beverage
and
hospitality
industry
had
already
been
lost
and,
and
that
number
just
stood
out
in
my
mind
as
being
similar
to
what
our
region
experienced
in
the
early
90s
mid
90s,
with
the
loss
of
the
the
brac
decision
that
led
to
the
loss
of
the
charleston
naval
base
and
we
lost
in
one
fell
swoop.
F
F
So
many
jobs
have
been
lost.
We
need
this
regional
approach.
They
they
were
already
set
up,
ready
to
go,
have
a
staff,
as
mentioned
brent
and
the
other
folks
out.
There
have
been
remarkable
and
then
the
the
partnership,
the
alliance
between
the
chamber
and
all
those
groups
that
general
taylor
just
showed
you
on
that
screen.
It
really
is
a
terrific
platform
for
us
to
build
confidence,
do
it
safely
and
get
back
in
business,
and-
and
so
thank
you,
y'all
all
of
you
for
your
leadership
and
being
here
with
us
today.
F
So
with
that
said,
I
open
the
florida
council.
Would
you
all
like
to
ask
any
questions?
Mr
mcgregory.
C
First,
I'd
like
to
tell
you,
I
continue
to
appreciate
your
leadership,
but
I
also
want
to
shout
out
to
my
church,
brother,
general
taylor
and
please
tell
the
wife
that
dudley
said
hello.
Okay,
appreciate.
L
G
Thank
you
as,
as
it
often
happens,
I
you
know.
I've
got
the
least
history
here
in
charleston,
my
husband
and
I
lived
in
the
dc
region
when
you
all
lost
your
naval
yard.
We
were
coming
to
charleston
at
that
point
in
time,
having
been
working
here
as
well
as
hoping
that,
sooner
or
later
we
we'd
be
able
to
end
up
in
charleston.
So
I
I
know
that
it's
giving
ptsd
to
so
many
of
you
all
going
through
this
crisis.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
little
comparison
today.
G
Councilmember
brady
and
I
were
on
a
call
that
was
focused
on
john's
island
as
a
task
force
that
that
have
brought
many
people
together,
who
are
trying
to
prepare
john's
island
for
a
long
future
as
a
rural
community
as
well
as
one
that
is,
is
right-sized
developed.
G
But
the
that
the
thing
that
caught
my
attention
at
that
meeting
today
was
there
was
a
report
by
the
director
of
low
country.
Land
trust.
Who
I
see
is
one
of
your
stakeholder
partners,
which
is
great,
and
she
was
going
on
a
great
length
about
a
collaborative
partnership
among
several
other
conservation
groups,
including
the
ayers
property
that
have
joined
together,
to
apply
for
a
grant
from
the
donnelly
foundation.
That
looks
like
it's
about
to
be
funded,
and
she
just
made
such
a
great
point
about
how
it
was.
G
Everybody
was
going
to
take
their
little
piece
of
the
action.
Do
their
job
work
together,
they
are
really
enjoying
each
other's
company
in
the
process
of
you
know
finding
out
their
common
ground
and
the
people
that
they
all
work
with
across
the
board.
And
I
I
just
you
know.
I
congratulated
them
for
such
an
effort,
and
I
said
government
needs
to
learn
from
that
kind
of
you
know
encouraging.
G
We
just
don't
know
the
ripple
effects
that
can
take
place
from
having
people
connect
on
the
common
ground
and
then
just
see
what
happens
as
a
result.
So
I
do
feel
like
this
is
anointed.
I
do
feel
like
this
is
an
amazing
opportunity
for
us
to
grow
in
directions
that
we
may
not
have
imagined
if
we
didn't
have
this
crisis
joining
us
together.
So
thank
you
for
letting
me
say
that.
L
B
Yes,
mr
mayor,
in
general,
I'm
glad
to
see
it
that
you
have
gotten
involved
in
this
and
been
out
here
for
a
while
and
I'm
not
a
graduate
from
c.a
brown,
I'm
a
graduate
from
burke
66
graduate
from
burkhard
school.
So
but
we
have
through
a
rivalry,
but
it
went
well,
but
I
was
mentioning
this
mayor.
You
know
I
was
mentioning
this
a
long
time
ago
that
bringing
everyone
together
as
a
reason
from
time
I
went
to
dc
and
had
this
class
that
they
were
talking
about.
B
You
have
to
have
a
strong
and
vibrant
community,
even
though
you
have
a
lot
of
businesses
going
on,
but
you
always
got
to
make
sure
that
your
community
is
vibrant
and
strong
in
case
anything
should
come
down
that
you,
this
community
would
be
able
to
take
over.
So
we
have
to
also
remind
ourselves
that
we
have
to
also
make
sure
that
our
community
is
involved
in
anything
that
we
decide
to
do
to
have
that
community,
because
if
you
don't
have
a
community,
you
wouldn't
need
the
businesses
here.
B
So
the
communities
have
to
be
strong
and
vibrant
and
making
sure
that
happen,
and
that's
one
thing
I
always
animate
about
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
strong
environment
community,
so
I'm
happy
to
see
that
we
are
going
to
pull
together
and
making
sure
that
we
pull
together
with
everyone
involved.
That
means
everyone
in
society
surprises.
B
This
reason
is
concerned
as
black
white
blue,
green,
whatever
the
case
may
be,
leaving
no
one
out,
because
we
don't
need
that
part
of
it,
because
you
have
people
that
was
living
here
all
these
years,
sometimes
they
feel
left
out.
So
we
have
to
make
sure
that's
one
thing
that
we're
not
doing
leaving
those
people
out.
So
those
are
comments
I
would
like
to
make
and
just
to
make
sure
we
can
go
on.
I.
D
You,
mr
mayor,
I
really
appreciate
you
allowing
this
team
to
come
forward
and
present
to
us
magnificent
talent.
I
know
I'm
all
I
remember
brent
before
he
had
to
distinguish
gray
and
his
bear
bear
down
there,
but
when
we
think
about
our
region's
billion
dollar
problems,
I
want
to
go
back
to
prove
that
this
approach
has
worked
when
the
shipyard
closed.
D
It
was
a
billion
dollar
problem
for
this
region.
Historically,
we
would,
we
would
have
parochial
differences
and
we
were
getting
that
circle
and
pull
out
the
guns
and
start
firing,
and
all
we
would
do
is
shoot
one
another.
The
shipyard
recovery
from
closure
from
base
closure
from
the
black
results.
D
This
process
worked
when
we
had
a
billion
dollar
problem
in
education,
when
our
school
board
was
calling
75
calhoun
street
the
taj
mahal.
A
lot
of
us
are
old
enough
to
remember
that
we
have
now
spent
over
1.4
billion
dollars,
rebuilding
new
schools
in
the
region
and
because
the
general
knows
this
john
hagerty
knows
this.
D
We
could
not
recruit
industry
in
this
area
because
we
had
no
good
schools
from
a
structural
standpoint
from
a
physical
plant
standpoint,
when
people
would
come
to
bring
the
new
cores
of
the
world
to
this
region,
they
thought
they
would
have
to
put
their
kids
in
private
school,
so
they
would
have
to
pay
a
payroll
to
the
point
where
you
can't
put
them
in
public
school
because
we
didn't
have
equivalent
structures
now
over
that
period
of
time,
we
have
really
done
a
good
job
as
a
region
with
this
leadership,
crda
chamber
and
the
like
to
raise
over
1.4
billion
dollars.
D
I
I
I
defy
you
to
find
a
dilapidated
school
in
charleston
county
today.
That's
because
they
recognize
that
the
future
workforce
came
out
of
those
schools.
When
we
had
a
billion
dollar
problem
with
transportation,
it
was
the
same
combination
that
worked.
He
said,
what
do
you
mean?
We
needed
over
hundred
million
dollars
to
replace
the
ravenel
bridge
well,
to
build
a
ravenel
bridge
to
replace
the
cool,
then
cooper,
river
bridges.
D
We
needed
a
1.2
1.3
billion
dollar.
First,
half
cent
sales
tax
to
be
passed.
It
was
the
same
regional
approach
that
it
took
to
get
it
done
when
we
needed
the
second
half
cent
sales
tax.
Mr
mayor,
because
participating
very,
very
big
that
was
over
2.3
billion
dollars.
That
was
passed
that
we're
now
in
funding.
D
Again,
it
was
this
regional
approach
when
you
saw
those
billboard
signs
and
the
commercials
and
the
ads
in
the
newspaper
wasn't
government
doing
that
it
was
the
private
sector
pulling
together
efforts
pushing
in
one
direction
to
accomplish
that
and
yeah,
and
yes,
after
this
tragedy.
Frankly
with
this
and
it's
a
a
tragedy
in
science
with
this
bit
with
this
virus,
it
is
a
billion
dollar
problem.
D
One
city
can't
do
that
by
itself.
Two
cities
can't
do
that
by
itself,
but
a
region
with
this
team
in
leadership
I
mean
I
thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
this
forth
and
the
experiences
on
this
team
so
general
and
brent,
and
my
legal
scholar
and
john
hagerty
and
cause
my
colleague
willis
canty.
Thank
you
so
much
whatever
we
can
do
to
help
we
all
in
the
same
direction
with
you.
So,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
for
giving
the
platform
for
them
to
explain
what
this
does
so.
It
works.
D
A
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
really
like
what
I'm
hearing
today.
You
know
it's
it's
exciting
in
one
sense
that
we're
turning
a
corner
here,
we're
no
longer
talking
about
shutting
down
businesses,
we're
talking
about
how
we're
going
to
reopen
the
economy.
That's
an
exciting
period
in
time,
we're
not
out
of
the
woods
yet.
But
at
least
I
I'm
sensing
a
shift
in
perspective-
and
you
know
I'm
sitting
here
right
now
at
revelry
brewing
company
on
conroy
street
downtown
charleston.
A
This
is
a
small
business,
that's
owned
and
operated
by
young
guys
that
are
my
age
and
they've
built
a
one
heck
of
a
business.
A
Over
the
years,
it
was
created
due
to
deregulatory
stance
taken
at
the
at
the
general
assembly
to
sort
of
loosen
some
of
the
restrictions
on
the
sale
of
of
beer
and-
and
I
hope
that,
as
we
move
forward,
we
can
take
a
similar
fresh
look
at
some
of
our
laws
and
some
of
our
regulations
to
allow
not
just
businesses
to
be
open,
but
but
for
businesses
to
thrive
and
and
for
the
folks
that
that
made
the
comment
earlier
about
the
demand
side
being
important
in
this
process.
A
I
cannot
agree
more,
it's
easy
to
say,
businesses
are
open
and
we're
lifting
a
government
closure
order,
but
it's
another
thing
to
get
people
comfortable
and
confident
enough
to
frequent
these
businesses
to
actually
allow
these
businesses
to
thrive.
So
one
of
the
concerns
I
heard
over
the
weekend
from
a
lot
of
small
businesses
was
the
lack
of
clarity.
I
think
there
was
a
lot
of
questions
friday
afternoon
about
what
the
loosening
restrictions
were
going
to
mean,
and
I
think
this
regional
approach
to
this
problem
is
exactly
what
the
doctor
ordered.
A
I'm
very
excited
that
we
put
this
together
thanks
to
everybody
involved,
and
I
look
forward
to
being
a
part
of
this
process
and
helping
to
lead
the
way
towards
a
stronger
than
ever
recovery
and
if
we're
lucky,
perhaps
we
can
position
charleston
to
be
way
ahead
of
the
curve
regionally
and
maybe
even
nationally,
to
attract
new
business
and
new
opportunities
in
the
coming
years,
so
very
exciting
time
and
a
lot
a
lot
of
good
work
to
come.
So
thanks,
everybody.
F
F
N
Sure
thanks,
mr
mayor,
so
we
were
fortunate
in
from,
as
we
mentioned
earlier,
we're
trying
to
make
sure
we
we
parallel
our
actions
with
with
the
work
that's
going
on
at
the
state
level,
with
the
governor's,
accelerate
sc
activities
and,
as
you
know,
a
lot
of
the
guidelines
for
the
restaurant
industry
have
already
been
released
by
that
group.
There
were
some
recommendations
made
and
we're
very
fortunate
that
obviously
helen
hill
from
from
explore
charleston
is
a
part
of
that
accelerate
sc
team.
N
So
we're
taking
those
recommendations
that
have
already
been
vetted
have
already
been
recommended
by
by
the
the
state
and
local
folks
that
are
involved
with
accelerate
sc
and
we're
going
to
to
package
those
as
a
part
of
our
larger
larger
initiative.
So
there
won't
be
anything
there
that
that
is
significantly
different
from
what
has
already
been
proposed
at
the
state
level,
which
is
why
we
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
put
those
out
as
as
a
part
of
our
initial
release,
and
then
the
second
piece
of
that
is
is
small
business.
N
Willis
can
tell
you
obviously,
that
the
chamber
has,
I
think,
1700
or
so
members,
many
of
whom
are
are
small
businesses
and
and
the
discussion
there
has
been
lively.
Lots
of
small
businesses
hurting
lots
of
small
businesses
trying
to
get
back
and
and
we're
listening
to
that
and
we're
trying
to
respond
to
that
with
answers.
Immediately.
Interestingly
enough,
councilman
appel
you're
sitting
at
revelry
brewing
that
deregulation.
You
talked
about
occurred
because
of
a
project
that
we
didn't
win.
N
F
But
specifically
on
friday,
you'll
be
putting
out
the
food
and
beverage
guidelines.
F
Right
so
my
fellow
council
members,
colleagues,
that's
germaine
to
our
discussion
later
in
the
agenda
that
we
started
monday,
and
I
would
we
can
talk
about
it
later
in
the
meeting,
but
based
upon
this
collaboration
with
one
region,
I
would
respectfully
ask
that
we
just
delay
the
city
action
until
brent
and
general
taylor
are
able
to
put
their
guidelines
out
friday
and
we'll
kind
of
be
lockstep
with
them.
If
we
see
anything
along
the
way
that
we
need
to
do,
that's
that's
particular
to
our
city.
F
You
know
we'll
we'll
think
about
those
things
and
take
action
on
them,
as
as
appropriate.
One
thought
comes
to
mind
in
that
regard.
F
Is
that
no
other
jurisdiction
has
carriage
tours
and
walking
tours,
and
so
there
there
are
some
things
we'll
have
to
still
consider
so
to
speak
on
our
own,
that
but
there's
outdoor
dining
in
charleston
mount
pleasant
isle
upon
somerville
all
over
the
place,
and
so
that's
just
an
example
of
right
here
out
of
the
box
that
to
have
a
regional
approach
where
businesses,
no
matter
what
jurisdiction
they're
in
have
kind
of
the
same
expectations,
it
kind
of
makes
it
clear
for
everyone
and
hopefully
builds
that
confidence
that
y'all
have
been
talking
about
so
anyway.
F
That's
just
my
thinking
at
this
point
on
how
we
should
proceed
as
all
these
different
industry
sectors
come
out,
that
we
stay
connected
and
lock
step
with
the
one
region
efforts
and
then,
if
we
need
to
add
anything
particular
you
know
for
our
situation
that
we
would
do
it
the
one
one
thing
I
do
recall
from
one
of
the
guiding
principles:
that
of
the
plan
that
will
be
released
is
that
it
does
allow
some
flexibility
for
local
jurisdictions.
F
You
know
if,
if
they
have
a
a
a
niche
or
some
particular
concern
that
they
need
to
address,
isn't
that
right,
yeah
all
right,
council,
member
seeking.
O
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
very
briefly,
willis
general
brent
and
john.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
I
think
that
the
mayor-
and
you
all
touched
on
this
a
little
bit.
I
have
a
question
I
mean
we
have
been
taking
up
the
issue
of
the
restaurant
business
and
and
opening
back
up
and
how
that
looks.
You
all
have
talked
about
guidelines,
we're
a
body
politic.
We
deal
in
regulation
rather
than
guideline
and
there's,
I
think,
going
to
be
some
inherent
tension
between
those
two
and,
as
you
all
do
your
work
at
one
region.
L
Well,
I
was
just
going
to
say,
mr
sieging,
that
you
know,
as
we
deliberate
among
our
leadership
team
and
trying
to
figure
out
what
is
balance
and
how
do
we
do
things.
We
came
to
the
conclusion
that
there
are
about
three
equities.
We
must
pay
attention
to.
One
set
of
equities
falls
with
the
medical
and
our
electrical
elected
officials.
Another
set
of
equities
fall
with
our
business
community
and,
of
course,
the
third
one
falls
with
the
general
public
and
in
the
public
safety
of
the
public.
L
So
we
tried
to
to
balance
all
that
respecting
all
so
there
would
be
a
role
for
our
elected
officials
to
play,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
timing
and
tempo,
and
so
we
will
respect
that.
We
will
align
with
that
same
thing
with
with
state
level,
laws
and
regulations
we'll
align
with
that
and
as
brent
mentioned.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
think
it's
important
that
we
have
representatives
both
on
accelerate
sc,
as
well
as
on
our
regional
executive
committee,
so
that
we
can
strike
those
alignment.
L
K
Just
councilman
member
shakings
I'll
say
about
mike
yeah,
hey
so
you're,
absolutely
right
and
we're
gonna
have
tension
and
we
warned
we.
We
didn't
need
to
warn
the
general,
but
the
general
understands
that
there's
going
to
be
tension,
there's
no
way
around
that.
But
so
let
me
be
clear
about
this,
though.
K
What
one
region
is
going
to
do
is
try
to
be
a
place
where
you
get
information
in
which
you
can
have
confidence,
but
we're
not
going
to
be
giving
directives.
We're
not
going
to
be
telling
people
you
do
this
that
or
the
other
we're
going
to
tell
them.
If
you
want
to
know
the
the
the
scientific
data
that's
being
overused
now,
but
if
you
want
to
know
our
best
efforts
to
get
the
information
from
all
these
extraordinary
sources
that
we
have
musc
roper
trident
everybody
are
they're,
they're
they're
influencing
us
we're
listening
to
them.
K
O
E
Councilmember
shade
yeah
man
a
couple
of
points.
First,
are
we
going
to
bypass
item
number
seven
on
our
agenda
completely?
There
is
something
I
wanted
to
bring
up,
but
I'll
wait.
If
we're
gonna
have
some
discussion
on
item
number,
seven.
F
But
well
it's
just
on
there
for
discussion
again,
not
for
action
tonight,
so
I
we
we're
certainly
open
to
talk
about
it.
Some
more.
E
O
P
E
E
I
think
is
critically
important
being
involved
in
a
family-run
business
many
many
years
ago.
The
critical
part
of
all
this-
and
I
think,
councilmember
seekings-
was
trying
to
lure
to
this
a
little
bit
more,
and
you
all
mentioned
this
early
on.
There
is
a
there
is
confusion.
E
I
think
a
whole
lot
of
confusion
on
what
we
can
or
what
can
we
not
do,
which
permitted
was
not
permitted,
and
I
think
that
has
a
detrimental
impact
on
on
businesses
and
then-
and
I
think
the
other
part
of
all
this-
and
this
is
sort
of
a
huge
intangible.
But
it's
a
critical
part
of
all.
This
is
trust
and
and
confidence,
and
that
I'm
going
to
go
someplace
in
in
a
business
setting
being
a
retail
or
restaurant
or
service
facility
that
I'm
safe
in
and
you
can
you.
E
E
C
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
make
make
sure
that
I'm
clear
that
we
are
going
to
be
correlating
at
least
have
a
mutual
relationship
between
the
plan
and
science,
and
I
know
that
science
is
all
over
the
place.
But
I
noticed
that
you
did.
You
do
have
the
medical
university,
roper
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
is
part
of
this.
So
I'm
assuming
that
they're
going
to
be
protecting
the
science
part
of
all
this.
C
F
Thank
you.
Dr
cole
has
directly
been
a
collaborator,
a
big
big
time
collaborator
with
this
effort.
Isn't
that
correct.
K
N
And
mayor
and
councilman
gregory
I'll,
add,
we've
we've
had
almost
daily
discussions
with
the
executive
team
at
musc
and
and
the
plan
itself
has
been
vetted
multiple
times
by
by
different
leaders
at
the
different
at
the
different
hospitals.
I
heard
you
mentioned
mayor
tracy
mckee,
with
with
report
coming
this
friday
she
and
mark-
and
I
have
been
in
conversations
with
with
several
of
the
members
of
the
team
over
at
musc
having
having
been
on
the
same
email
chain.
N
Even
so
so
what
you'll
see
coming
out
of
our
report
will
be
a
a
consistent,
clear
message
regarding
those
guard
rails
that
the
medical
community
are
trying
their
best
to
to
keep
us
within
as
we
try
and
open
up
safely.
I
can
tell
you,
john
and
the
general
and
willis
heard
from
an
epidemiologist
the
other
day
kind
of
explaining
how
the
different
pieces
and
parts
will
move
as
the
case
cases
change
and
the
amount
of
testing
this
to
really
help
them
understand
and
help
help
them
communicate
with
the
community
as
well.
F
Well,
thank
you
all
again
and
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
your
time
we're
going
to
continue
on
with
a
couple
more
items.
You're
welcome
to
stay
and
brent.
If
you
have
time,
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
if
you
could
stay
on,
because
next
is
a
update
on
proposals
to
assist
small
businesses
in
reopening
in
the
city.
F
Meg
thompson
has
been
doing
a
remarkable
job
researching
on
our
own
and
with
our
other
staff
different
and
just
gathering
ideas
from
y'all
and
from
other
community
members,
and
at
this
point
some
of
this
involves
one
region
as
well,
so
without
further
ado
I'll
like
to
turn
the
podium
over,
so
to
speak,
to
meg
thompson.
Q
Thank
you
mayor.
This
was
a
great
lead-in
to
to
what
I'm
about
to
share
with
you
all,
because
what
we've
been
doing
in
my
office
is
really
a
product
of
research
and
collaboration
to
identify
best
practices
in
order
to
create
a
menu
of
options.
For
you
all.
None
of
these
is
a
silver
bullet,
but
the
idea
is
to
create
things
that
the
city
can
do
to
support
and
supplement
these
state
and
regional
efforts
that
you
were
just
hearing
about,
while
being
mindful
of
the
same
healthcare
indicators.
Q
There
we
are
so
when
I
say
health
care
indicators,
what
you'll
see
first
that'll
kind
of
jump
out
as
you
is
the
color,
so
we
have
integrated
the
stoplight
plan
that
was
released
a
little
while
ago
as
far
as
city
operations.
So
right
now,
as
you
all
know,
we're
in
a
red
period
we're
very
socially
existent
and
isolated,
hopefully
moving
into
a
yellow
based
on
key
health
care
indicators
and
then
finally
agreeing
other
kind
of
fields
to
just
know
in
the
spreadsheet
and
council
I'll
be
sharing
this
with
you
afterwards.
Q
Q
It
also
includes
the
estimated
lead
time
how
much
time
we
think
we
would
need
to
get
something
like
this
up
and
running
who
in
the
city
and
who
the
community
partners
involved,
would
be
any
potential
costs
benchmarks.
So
what
what
other
cities
are
doing
similar
things?
Who
this
would
be
helping
and
then
there's
some
explanatory
notes
on
the
side?
So
that's
just
to
give
you
an
overview
of
how
the
spreadsheet
is
set
up.
As
I
walk
you
through
this
now,
we
did
have
a
much
longer
list.
Q
I
have
cut
it
down
to
kind
of
the
top
13
things
that
I
think
are
within
our
capacity
to
do
with
safety
in
mind
for
the
public,
so
that
that's
kind
of
how
I
narrowed
down
the
list
of
all
the
different
best
practices
and
research
proposals
that
we
were
provided
with.
Q
So
in
this
red
section,
we
would
start
out
with
a
proposal
to
do
kind
of
a
psa
campaign,
and
this
is
an
idea
that
came
from
the
u.s
conference
of
mayors
about
how
to
educate
small
businesses
about
protecting
their
leases
and
preventing
eviction,
how
to
talk
to
their
landlords,
what
kind
of
documentation
to
put
together.
So
that
would
be
the
first
example
number
two.
Q
There
is
to
look
at
providing
ppe
supply
chains
making
sure
that
if
businesses
are
needing
hand,
sanitizer
gloves
masks,
they
know
where
to
go
to
get
those
an
option
would
be
for
the
city
to
provide
them.
That
is
something
some
states
and
cities
are
doing.
I
will
point
out
that
there
is
an
existing
sc
proven
19
emergency
collaborative
here
that
that
is
doing
requests
and
supplies,
as
they're
able
number
three
would
be
a
local
relief
fund
and
increasing
banking
partnerships.
Q
I
Q
They
open
up
applications
and
aren't
able
to
help
as
many
people
as
they
would
like,
but
a
key
piece
of
this
would
be
creating
better
banking
relationships,
especially
with
our
minority
and
women-owned
firms.
A
lot
of
them
didn't
have
a
great
relationship
with
a
bank
when
this
happened,
so
that
caused
them
to
be
left
out
of
some
of
the
sba
disaster.
Loan
programs
similar
veins,
something
that
we
could
do
during
this
close
down
period
would
be
to
create
a
small
business
advisory
board.
Q
We
do
already
have
a
minority
women
owned
advisory
board
that
we
will
convene
to
get
their
thoughts,
but
a
broader
board
would
be
helpful
and
then
a
more
specific
board
about
the
food
and
beverage
industry
because
they
were
hit
first
and
will
be
continued
to
be
impacted
as
social
distancing
measures
continue
going
down
into
this
yellow
portion
here.
Number
five:
when
we're
starting
to
open
up
people
are
starting
to
go
out
more,
we
would
be
looking
to
partner
with
local
anchor
institutions
to
commit
to
local
purchasing.
Q
So
that's
not
only
asking
the
community
to
buy
local
and
support
local,
but
also
asking
some
of
our
bigger
organizations
to
do
their
procurement
through
local
options
as
much
as
possible.
This
could
be
a
city
challenge,
a
mayor's
challenge,
something
along
those
lines,
and
also
this
would
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to
look
at
our
own
procurement
policies
and
metrics
and
see
how
we're
doing
in
this
effort
as
well.
Q
Number
six
would
be
to
reopen
the
farmers
markets
with
social
distancing.
We've
seen
different
models
of
how
to
do
this
around
the
company
around
the
country,
for
example
the
james
island
market,
over
behind
the
poor
house.
Actually
the
drive-through
model,
others
are
doing.
You
put
your
orders
ahead
of
time
and
you
just
kind
of
pick
up
a
bundle.
So
how
can
we,
as
this
is
a
lever
that
we
control
with
our
two
city
of
charleston
farmers
markets?
How
can
we
do
this
safely
and
get
those
back
up
and
running?
Q
Please
feel
free
to
stop
me
at
any
time.
By
the
way
for
questions,
number
seven
would
be
different
ideas
to
reduce
the
financial
burden
relating
to
parking
costs,
and
this
could
be
for
your
f
and
b
workers
downtown.
We
used
to
have
a
program
that
assisted
them.
Q
We
could
look
at
reinstating
that
we've
had
preliminary
conversations
with
carda
about
maybe
halting
the
five
dollar
fee
to
park
at
the
lot,
for
the
time
being,
as
a
way
to
ease
people
back
into
going
to
work,
different
ideas
that
we
could
pursue
there
number
eight
would
be
to
educate
small
businesses
about
disaster
preparedness,
as
you
can
see
over
there
in
the
notes
section.
Q
Now
this
last
section
in
green,
this
is
when
we
are
back
with
the
health
care
healthcare
indicators
that
indicate
that
we
can
be
in
whatever
the
new
normal
is
whatever.
Q
Up
looking
like
so,
we
would
like
to
look
at
ways
to
get
people
back
to
work.
Like
the
mayor
has
mentioned,
we
had
a
massive
amount
of
people
lose
their
jobs
early
on
in
this,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
not
only
are
people
being
able
to
go
back
to
work
to
maintain
their
income,
but
also
there
are
conditions
of
those
small
business
loans
for
the
people
who
did
receive
one
from
the
sba
that
they
maintain
their
workforce,
enable
for
those
loans
to
be
forgiven.
Q
The
next
on
the
list
is
something
that
we've
already
started:
doing
kind
of
what
we
did
with
closing
maryland
boulevard
around
hampton
park,
creating
place
making
opportunities
for
people
to
be
out
in
public
in
social
distance
ways
we
could
introduce
economical
efforts
around
that
would
be
increased
cleaning
and
beautification
of
our
central
business
districts
to
make
people
feel
safe
and
comfortable
being
out
there.
Q
So
that's
that
piece
number
11
is
helping
prepare
our
large
venues
for
social
distancing,
and
this
would
be
a
key
one
to
work
with
crda
one
region
on
so
this
is,
you
know
the
music
farm,
any
big
special
events
than
you
making
sure
they
have
what
they
need
and
can
clearly
communicate
with
people
who
may
be
coming
into
that
space.
What
the
expectations
are
number
12
would
be
to
work
on
our
permitting
process
for
commercial
approvals.
Q
There's
a
few
small,
relatively
easy
lists
that
we
could
do
there,
such
as
creating
better
educational
materials
about
those
processes.
So
people
coming
in
they've
got
enough
stress.
We
can
give
them
a
document
to
guide
them.
We
could
also
work
to
get
a
staff
position
for
the
fire
marshal
to
be
located
in
the
permit
center.
I
put
this
in
a
green
category
because
I
foresee,
for
the
foreseeable
future,
the
fire
marshal
is
going
to
be
dedicated
to
maintaining
occupancy
limits.
Q
So
I
didn't
want
to
alter
their
procedures
too
much,
but
it
is
something
that
we
could
work
towards
and
make
things
move
faster
and
kind
of
more
of
a
recovery
zone
and
the
last
one
of
these
is
the
ones
that
I
have
received,
probably
the
most
emails
about
and
suggestions
and
requests
that
this
is
something
that
we're
considering,
especially
since
outdoor
dining
has
opened
up.
Q
This
is
the
idea
of
using
public
spaces
to
increase
commercial
space,
so
the
idea
of
closing
streets,
putting
tables
and
chairs
out
into
meter
parking
spaces
creating
partlets
things
like
that
are
something
we
could
consider
we
actually
before.
All
of
this
happened
has
started
developing
a
proposal
to
do
an
evening
closure
of
upper
king
street,
where
we
know
that
there
is
a
concentration
of
restaurants.
That
would
be
interested
in
doing
something
like
this.
F
Any
questions
for
meg-
I
can't
see
everybody's
picture
right
now,
so
just
speak
up.
If,
if
you
don't
mind.
D
So,
mr
mayor,
this
is
keith
warren
I
do
have
a
quote.
I
do
have
a
question
and
trying
to
obviously
open
back
up.
Have
any
of
us
looked
at.
I
guess
a
strategy.
Now
this
is
a
delicate
two-edged
sword,
but
to
make
it
easier
for
people
to
park
downtown.
D
Put
some
creativity
in
that
because
you
know,
obviously
you
can
open
up,
but
you
want
people
to
come
back
and
I
don't
know
that
we
want
to
make
it
hard
for
him
to
come
back
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
I
mean
not
today,
but
if
we
put
some
thought
in
that
to
try
and
make
it
a
little
bit
easier.
Actually,
maybe
I
can
get
councilman
seeking
to
jump
in
on
this
one.
D
You
have
made
mention
of
something
maybe
two
three
weeks
ago,
councilman
seeking
that
about
parking-
and
I
had
been
thinking
about
that
since.
But
if
we
put
together
a
strategy
to
come
back,
how
do
we
make
it
user
friendly
for
people
to
come
back
and
enjoy
downtown
from
a
parking
perspective?.
F
Number
number
seven
was
ideas
about
parking.
I
don't
know
that
she
read
all
the
detail
there.
One
one
of
the
items
was
not
to.
R
F
That's
just
an
example:
the
other
examples
here
were
mostly
focused
on
employees,
but
if
we
had,
you
know
we're
not
getting
any
revenue
now
out
of
the
meters
or
garages,
and
I
guess
you
could
argue,
we
would
be
foregoing
some
future
revenue
by
cutting
back
on
enforcement
of
meters
and
garages
offering
some
free
parking.
F
But
you
know
that
that
that's
a
budget
item
that
council
could
consider
and-
and
frankly,
I
think
it's
a
good
idea,
at
least
for
the
balance
of
2020-
that
we
we
lighten
up
a
little
bit
on
our
parking
fees.
D
O
Council,
member
seeking
thanks
so
keith
just
really
quickly.
I
mean
one
of
the
things
and
I
know
meg
mentioned
it
very
briefly,
is
you
know
just
some
creative
ways
to
do
it,
there's
off
the
books
from
the
city
that
we
can
make
some
opportunities?
You
know
the
hop
lot.
We
can
open
that
up
and
we
will
and
make
sure
that
employees
get
access.
I
do
think
there's
some
other
things
out
there.
O
We
probably
need
to
be
talking
to
some
of
the
private
side
too,
just
to
get
people
back
into
the
city
and
parking
just
reduce
parking
fees
and
some
of
the
private
lots.
I
think
we
can
talk
to
people
about
that
too,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
while
before
you
get
sort
of
critical
mass
on
parking
downtown,
I
mean,
I
know
you
all
probably
don't
come
as
often
we're
I'm
here
every
day
there
is
zero
parking
going
on
on
the
streets
right
now,
so
you've
got
retail
opening
up
no
parking.
O
I
think
we're
going
to
not
only
have
to
make
it
easier
to
park,
but
publicize
through
meg's
office
and
others
that
there
are.
You
know
some
loosened
restrictions
and
available
parking
all
over
the
city
and
it's
going
to
be
a
big
big
balance,
because
you
know
it's
a
huge
part
of
our
balance
sheet
at
the
end
is
the
revenues
from
parking,
but.
F
C
I
I
apologize
for
the
noise
in
the
background.
My
son
is
here
so
just
want
to
say
meg
great
job
on
getting
this
list
together.
I
know
it
was
calling
a
bunch
of
folks
that
had
provided
input,
so
thank
you
for
getting
it
done.
There's
several
things
on
this
that
I
think
are
worthy
of
considering
and
just
to
echo
you
know,
keith's
our
councilman
waring's
point.
You
know
thinking
creatively,
especially
about
the
parking
and
the
idea
of
parklets.
I
We
talked
about
that
a
little
bit.
I
think
this
is
a
great
start,
and
I
know
it
was
a
lot
of
work.
So
thank
you.
Meg.
F
So
she
will
send
this
list
out
to
everybody
and
would
y'all
please
take
the
time
to
review
them
and
maybe
do
a
ranking
or
or
some
feedback
to
meg
as
to
what
you
think
the
most
beneficial
or
higher
priority
is
because
we
can
do
a
lot.
But
we
can't
do
it
all
at
one
time
and
if,
if,
if
one,
two
and
three
are
more
important.
M
F
9
11
and
13-
wouldn't
you
know,
want
to
do
it
that
way
so
take
the
list
and-
and
please
give
meg
some
feedback,
and
we
can
talk
about
it
again
next
tuesday,
at
our
regular
council
meeting,
if
that's
suitable
to
everybody.
K
G
Thank
you
just
a
little
bit
of
humor.
I
think
you
better
be
buying
meg
a
flack
jacket,
because
we're
all
going
to
have
some
really
good
suggestions
for
her
to
continue
to
massage
so
great
effort.
I
really
appreciate
having
words
on
paper
for
us
to
chew
on
so
sorry
in
advance,
meg
you're,
going
to
have
to
work
overtime.
J
Hey
miss
mary,
I
just
I
have
a
logistical
question.
This
is
councilman
brady,
just
and
meg.
Maybe
you
can
chime
in
as
well
on
the
the
closing
the
street
like
on
king
street.
I
know
we
only
own
a
small
portion
of
that
and
was
wondering
you
know
how
the
state
would
respond
since
part
of
king
or
most
of
king
street
is
their
road.
If
we
were
going
to
block
that
off,
because
I
am
very
much
in
favor
of
it,
I
was
actually
having
a
discussion
today
about
it.
J
If
you've
ever
been
to
denver
and
seen
the
16th
street
mall
there's
outdoor
spaces,
they
kind
of
close
it
off
it's
more
bike
and
pedestrian
friendly,
and
we
could
do
that
on
the
portion
of
king
street,
we
own-
which
I
think
is
calhoun
to
mary,
but
I
could
be
wrong
on
that.
But
you
know
that
would
be
a
great
way.
There's
plenty
of
restaurants
there
and
it
would
give.
J
Since
you
know,
when
times
were
normal
people
scatter
across
across
king
street
anyway,
without
responding
to
the
crosswalk
signals,
and
it
would
just
give
everybody
kind
of
a
safe
space
to
move
about
the
street
as
well
as
provide
for
outdoor
dining
as
well.
Q
P
Hey
everybody
keith
here,
thanks
meg,
you've
been
doing
some
amazing
work
on
this,
and
thanks
for
taking
my
early
morning
calls
too.
So
we
did
make
an
outreach
to
scdot
district
six
administrator
tim
henderson,
who
then
on
our
behalf,
spoke
to
leland
coleman,
the
deputy
secretary
and
others
in
colombia.
P
Regarding
these
concepts
they
did
make
it
clear
to
us
some
of
their
trepidation,
of
making
sure
you
know
proper
traffic
control,
and
you
know
if
you
look
at
other
cities,
have
introduced
parklets
or
closures,
there's
very
heavy
specifics
around
design
liabilities
and
otherwise,
but
they
did.
Let
us
know
that
a
request
from
the
municipality
would
be
treated
the
same
as
their
engineering
guidelines
that
are
used
for
parades
or
festivals
or
otherwise,
which
is
extremely
encouraging
about
what
their
support
of
some
ideas
that
are.
P
Allowing
small
businesses
to
be
able
to
thrive
now
do
realize
that
those
permits
that
they
allow
for
those
type
of
closures
are
for
temporary
situations
and
non-permanent.
So
it
is
still
at
their
discretion
as
to
what
they
do
and
don't
approve,
but
it
was
encouraging
that,
instead
of
just
a
complete
know
that
this,
these
requests
would
be
viewed
in
the
same
way.
A
parade
or
a
festival
or
other
type
of
street
closure
would
be
viewed.
B
Yeah,
I
thought
about
that
same
thing
in
closing
as
to
what
they
do
on
second
sundays,
but
I
said
even
if
that's
done
when
you're
coming
from
that
area,
leaving
that
area
and
coming
further
down
canon
to
cannon
street
to
king
to
even
mary
street,
the
community
gonna
have
to
really
know
about
this
big
time,
because
in
that
area
I
think
you
know,
mr
mr
mayor,
on
both
side
of
that
street
raccoon
byron,
ellerberry,
cannonball,
zeke,
rags
borrowing,
whatever
the
case
may
be,
they're
gonna
really
have
to
be
known
to
buy
into
it.
F
So
I'll
share
with
y'all
a
text
message.
I
got
the
other
day,
hi
john
just
heard
a
rumor
close
king
street
and
put
tables
out
on
the
street
yeah
bad
idea.
It
will
kill
retail.
So
there's
always
another
perspective
whenever
we're
supposed
to
do
something
so
so
I'll
put
some
thought
into
it,
I
think
we
need
to
be
very
strategic
about.
B
F
You
know
and
consider
exactly
where,
if
we're
doing
this
for
the
food
and
beverage,
you
know
restaurants
to
really
you
know,
tighten
it
so
that
it
it
it's
strategic
to
certain
blocks
or
even
certain
species
of
the
street
in
front
of
a
restaurant.
F
We
we
don't
want
other
normal
retailers
who
have
been
closed
also
for
the
last
month
and
not
gaining
any
income.
We
you
know
we
don't
want
to.
We
don't
want
to
hurt
them,
so
it
will
take
some
some,
some
thoughtfulness
and
some
some
surgical
precision.
Maybe.
B
Yes,
that's
what
I
was
saying,
mr
mayor
cause.
I
threw
it
out
there
around
the
community,
so
I
thought
about
it
myself
and
doing
that,
and
I
said
you
know
alcohol.
B
I
act
the
same
ways:
the
second
sunday
that
maybe
closed
from
calhoun
street
all
the
way
down
on
king
and
if
you
come
further
up
a
king,
it's
a
little
different
because
you
gotta
look
at
it
at
the
traffic
pattern
and
everything
how
they're
going
to
get
it
wrong
in
areas
and
how
they
have
to
move,
and
you
have
the
communities
up
in
those
particular
areas,
and
you
want
to
get
in
the
fight
with
them
that
much
so
you
have
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
it.
B
How
we're
going
to
do
it
if
it's
going
to
be
done,
if
it
could
be
done
and
all
the
traffic
is
going
to
move.
Also
too
yes,.
D
You,
mr
mayor,
well,
you
all
well
councilman
brady
brought
this
up.
I
actually
went
on
my
desktop
and
and
pulled
that.
R
D
But
a
lot
of
examples,
I'm
seeing
is
it
being
done
where
parking
would
be
would
have
been
and
traffic
is
allowed
to
flow
in
in
many
of
the
cases.
So
with
that,
mr
benjamin,
if
the
hypothetically,
the
permit
were
for
the
parking
area-
and
you
still
had
traffic
flow-
is
that
still
looked
upon
as
being
in
the
same
light
of
a
parade.
P
It
is
something
that
we
still
would
have
to
have
permitted
by
cdot,
obviously,
because
it's
the
right
of
way
when
you
look
at
the
best
practices,
we're
in
nacto
city,
national
association
of
city
transportation,
officials,
there's
a
number
of
cities
that
have
implemented
parklets,
but
they
have
to
council
member
mitchell's
point:
significant
regulations
about
community
buy-in
maintenance
and
liability,
certain
design
criteria
where
it
can
withstand
particular
issues
like,
for
example,
in
san
francisco.
P
You
know
it
has
to
sustain
200
feet
of
impact
in
order
to
to
have
their
certain
materials
in
their
parkland
space,
so
so
they're
also
public
spaces
or
most
places
that
introduce
parklets.
So
it's
not
hey.
This
is
your
business's
area
right,
it's
something
that
is
accessible
to
everybody
too.
So
that's
that's
why
you
know
meg
was
was
very
a
student
saying
that
you
know
something
like
a
parklet
or
even
something
as
big
as
a
street
closure.
P
You
know
what
would
be
a
heavy
lift
for
our
city.
It
would
probably
involve
at
least
five
different
city
departments
being
together
to
coordinate
on
that.
So
it's
not
necessarily
outside
of
the
impossible
of
getting
done.
P
It
just
means
it's:
it's
all
hands
on
deck,
to
make
it
work
and-
and
the
proposal
that
I
got
to
give
a
shout
out
to
civic
design
center
had
started
to
look
at
with
king
street,
looked
at
various
different
functionalities,
that
some
of
which
would
still
allow
certain
arteries
that
are
east
to
west,
to
still
be
able
to
have
vehicle
or
traffic
go
through,
but
for
those
certain
blocks,
because
of
so
there's
ideas
that
are
out
there
that
could
be
implemented
again.
P
This
is
something
that
you
know
want
to
be
careful
about
all
the
health
restrictions
and
otherwise
and
make
sure
this
is
something
that
is
feasible.
We
have
the
capacity
to
do
and
it's
something
that's
sustainable.
So
thank
you,
mr
benji.
F
Keith
benjamin,
would
you
it's
not
a
term.
I
was
really
in
my
normal
vocabulary.
Would
you
define
parklet
in
this
context.
P
So
the
concept
of
parklets
comes
really
from
the
thought
process
of
welcoming
people
to
space,
welcoming
people
to
the
public
right
of
way
in
a
way
that's
safe,
just
as
we
make
designations
for
all
other
types
of
modes
of
transportation.
How
do
you
also
make
space
for
pedestrians?
P
And
so
the
idea
is
that
in
already
designated
parking
spaces
right
being
able
to
create
destinations
for
people
to
to
sit,
in
our
case
social
distance,
to
be
able
to
eat,
to
be
able
to
exchange
and
otherwise
for
extending
from
the
length
of
the
sidewalk
out
into
the
right-of-way,
but
just
specifically
in
the
parking
areas,
and
so
it
it.
It
allows
some
interesting
design.
It
allows
some
ways
for
people
to
be
able
to
interact
in
a
different
way,
while
also
making
sure
the
walkway
is
open.
P
So
it's
extending
the
sidewalk
and
I
think
part
of
the
reason
why
it's
become
something
that's
been
attractive
in
some
cities
implementing
in
the
short
term
tampa
just
announced
it
a
couple
of
days
ago
for
their
for
their
city
is
because
you
you
give
more
space
for
social
distancing.
It's
just.
You
know,
as
I
mentioned
before,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
that
go
into
making
those
real
and
for
us
here
in
charleston.
That
includes
coordination
between
us
as
a
city
and
also
the
state
d.o.t.
F
Thank
you
very
much
all
right,
any
other
questions
or
comments
regarding
meg's
presentation,
if
not
we'll
send
that
out
to
you
as
for
your
feedback
and
we'll
talk
about
it
again
on
on
tuesday
and
then.
Lastly,
we
had
on
the
agenda
to
continue
discussion
on
the
emergency
ordinance
about
promoting
safety
in
restaurants,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
I
would
respectfully
I
mean
I
welcome
anybody's
comments.
I
I
don't
want
to
take
any
action
on
this
tonight.
F
I
would
like
to
wait
and
see
the
plan
that
I
think
will
be
very
similar
to
this,
but
I
still
want
to
be
respectful
and
give
one
region
the
opportunity
to
come
forth
friday
with
their
plans,
and
then
I
guess,
if
you
think
about
it,
it
really
kind
of
ties
into
council
member
seeking
questions,
even
if
we
adopted
exactly
word
for
word
what
region
one,
what
one
region
was
recommending
as
the
guidelines,
do
we
just
leave
it
as
guidelines
or
do
we
take
that
extra
step
again,
even
if
it
was
word
for
word
and
create
an
ordinance
out
of
it,
so
that
it
adds
some
enforceability.
E
Thank
you
mayor
and
one
little
point
I
wanted
to
bring
out
for
everyone's
consideration.
E
I
took
a
little
walk
around
king
and
meeting
street
this
afternoon
and
notice
a
handful
of
establishments
serving
outdoor,
dining
and
they're
serving
alcohol
on
the
sidewalk.
So
I
called
the
the
chief
and
talked
to
steve
rumlin
on
this,
and
I'm
not
sure
this
is
something
we
we
want
to
do
or
to
consider
doing.
E
But
unless
you've
got
a
a
special
permit,
you
cannot
serve
alcohol
on
the
sydney
sidewalk
and,
as
steve
mentioned
to
me,
outdoor
dining
on
certain
sidewalks
is
dependent
upon
the
size
of
the
sidewalk
and
other
factors
that
may
be
taken
into
consideration.
E
I
bring
this
out
to
everybody's
attention
because
it
it
may
cause
an
unintended
consequence
on
the
outdoor
dining,
because
the
statue
does
talk
about
sidewalks
being
extended
as
part
of
outdoor
dining
and
remember
that
we
had
just
passed
that
ordinance
dealing
with
folks
who
were
standing
and
stopping
on
sidewalks
in
this
particular
area
mounted
through
market
street.
E
So
this
may
be
a
conflict
of
orders
and
state
and
city
regulations
dealing
with
the
service
of
alcohol
and
on
a
public
right-of-way,
and
it
also
may
infringe
on
our
other
ordinance
that
we
just
passed
regarding
people
moving
along
sidewalks
as
we
go
through
this
process.
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
to
everybody's
attention.
E
E
I
F
Mount
pleasant
already
addressed
that
in
an
ordinance
they
passed
yesterday
that
basically
allowed
some
flexibility
for
allowing
that
service
to
occur
during
this
period,
and,
let
me
just
add,
I
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
a
awful
long
time
before
the
governor
opens
up
in
in-house
or
in
in
restaurant
service
so
and
and
the
weather
getting
hot
and
you're
able
to
serve
inside.
F
A
Yes,
mr
mayor,
just
real
briefly
meg
great
job
with
putting
this
all
together,
and
I
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
the
effort
to
hold
a
restaurant
bar
brewery
forum
on
zoom.
I
think
that's
that's
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
hear
from
the
folks
that
are
not
on
the
call
right
now,
but
they're,
some
of
the
most
important
people
in
this
conversation
other
than,
of
course,
council
member
saccharin.
A
Who
has
a
unique
perspective
on
this
because
there's
a
lot
of
practicalities
on
the
on
the
on
the
very
granular
level.
I
think
council,
member
shaheed
just
referenced
a
lot
of
the
some
of
the
red
tape
issues
that
we
got
to
deal
with,
and
I
think
that
for
us
to
get
a
full
360
perspective
here,
we
need
to
hear
from
the
actual
small
businesses
themselves
and
I'm
excited
that
we're
having
that
opportunity
in
the
near
future.
So
thank
you.
F
Q
As
soon
as
possible,
that's
scheduled
for
9
30
tomorrow
morning.
F
I
don't
know
after
the
meeting
council
member
seeking.
O
O
It'll,
be
some
fraction
of
what
you're
already
allowed
to
put
in
per
per
the
fire
fire
code,
whatever
you're
permitted
for
right,
whatever
you're
licensed
for
and
some
form
of
outdoor
dining
will
be
a
way
for
us
to
allow
restaurants
to
make
up
that
delta
between
what
they
otherwise
would
have
inside
and
outside.
So
I
think
it's
something
we're
gonna
have
to
keep
in
our
mind.
O
I
don't
think
it's
just
gonna
go
away
like
that,
because
indoor
dining
is
going
to
be
allowed
because
it'll
be
so
limited
in
number
that
there
probably
will
be
some
creative
things
we
can
do
and
to
council
member
shades
point.
It's
a
state
law,
nothing
that
we
can
do
here
at
the
city
level
on
alcohol,
that's
just
banned
by
the
state
outdoors,
beer
wine.
We
can
allow
so
just
something
to
think
about
as
we
go
forward
mayor.
Just
one
question
in
your
mind.
Is
this
something
we're
going
to
take
up
on
friday?
F
Well,
to
be
honest
with
you
other
than
tracy's
report,
which
could
be
done
next
week,
I'm
not
averse
to
suggesting
we.
We
not
have
the
meeting.
H
F
So,
let's
see,
let's
just
do
that,
we'll
we'll
give
brent
the
chance
to
get
the
plan
out.
We'll
have
some
time
to
absorb
it.
We'll
get
it
to
everybody
on
council
as
soon
as
brent
puts
it
out,
and
then
we'll
consider
this
an
addendum
already
to
tuesday's
meeting
that
we
will
have
the
report
from
tracy
and
further
discussion
of
your
priorities
for
meg's
13-point
plan
and
and
then
a
further
discussion
on
this
restaurant
ordinance.
Is
that
sound,
suitable
right,
yeah.
D
R
Yes,
sir,
I
just
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
to
really
just
say
that
I
know
we've
talked
a
lot
about
you
know
getting
through
the
red
tape
and
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
be
successful
with
these
restaurants
open
back
up,
but
I
really
want
to
give
kudos
to
a
few
restaurants
that
I've
seen
operating
so
far.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
throughout
all
of
this,
and
I
got
to
go
and
eat
at
a
restaurant
and
sit
outside
yesterday
afternoon
and
was
very
very
impressed
with
the
measures
that
they
were
taking.
R
R
I
really
have
to
say
that
I
believe
our
city,
restaurants,
number
one,
the
creativity
of
being
able
to
finally
open
back
up
and
be
able
to
serve
a
decent
number
of
people,
the
creativity
of
how
they've
been
able
to
use
their
parking
lot.
And
it's
it's
really
an
atmosphere
that
I've
never
seen
before,
because
you're
used
to
driving
by
a
restaurant.
And-
and
you
know
you
know-
there's
people
inside,
but
you
can't
see
them
all
joining
together
and
having
a
good
time.
But
with
all
of
these
restaurants
outside.
R
I
love
seeing
the
creativity
as
long
as
they're
following
the
guidelines,
but
seeing
everybody
having
a
good
time,
and
you
can
tell
that
people
are
just
very
excited
to
be
able
to
be
with
their
families
again
and
experience
that
one
thing
that
I
I
got
a
call
from
from
one
of
the
owners
at
uptown
social.
They
started
serving
up
on
their
rooftop.
R
They
put
all
of
their
guidelines
on
their
website
and
have
made
it
very
clear
to
their
patrons
exactly
what
to
expect
and
they've
gone
above
and
beyond
what
the
governor
has
even
said
in
a
very
in
tune
in
the
ideas
that
we're
looking
at.
But
I've
got
to
say
that
our
restaurant,
our
food
and
bev
community.
R
I
know
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
past
this
just
because
of
that.
These
last
few
days.
P
R
Know
that
not
everything's
perfect
yet,
and
you
know,
we've
got
some
situations
that
may
look
a
little.
You
know
abnormal
or
things
that
we
don't
necessarily
want
to
see.
I
mean
we
would
hate
for
king
street
to
turn
into
bourbon
street.
However,
you
know
we
have
to
to
you
know.
C
R
Commerce
happen,
and
I
know
that
we're
doing
that,
and
I'm
just
thankful
that
you
know
we're
we're
seeing
a
little
bit
of
some
normalcy
again
and
I'm
really
really
proud
of
our
food
and
death
community,
because
they
got
hit
with
a
gut
punch
when
this
thing
first
started
and
the
way
that
they've
been
able
to
sustain
band
together
and
now
follow
our
guidelines,
but
still
find
a
sense
of
normalcy.
R
I
know
we're
going
to
be
okay.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
and
I
thank
you
for
all
your
guidance
and
support
and
these
zoom
meetings
and
making
sure
everybody
understands
what
the
expectation
is
going
to
be.
This
is
the
smartest
thing
I
mean
we're
we're
being
transparent
and
we're
we're
above
ahead
of
the
ahead
of
the
eight
ball
a
little
bit.
C
F
Okay,
well
anything
else
for
the
good
of
the
order,
good
good,
meeting,
good
meeting.
If.
D
F
We
will
see
you
next
tuesday,
if
not
sooner
thanks
for
all
that
everyone
is
doing
and
yeah,
it
might
be
time
to
go
out
and
patronize
one
of
these
outdoor
dining.
