Description
City of Charleston Committee on Ways and Means 10/13/2020
A
Quick
in
our
thinking
that
out
of
confused,
I
issues
may
come
simplicity
of
plan.
That
out
of
fear
may
come
confidence
that
out
of
hurry,
may
come
to
liberation.
That
out
of
frustration
may
come
guidance.
Let
us
get
to
work,
not
head
first,
but
heart.
First
may
we
be
able
to
disagree
without
being
disagreeable
to
differ
without
being
difficult
to
be
honest
without
tension
and
frank
without
offense,
in
an
atmosphere
of
team
spirit,
amen,.
B
A
F
H
Right,
so
thank
you
back
to
bids
and
purchases.
I
did
want
to
point
out
that
the
third
item
involved
getting
a
new
vendor
for
garbage
and
trash
collection
out
on
daniel
island
and
king
hoy
and
it'll
be
a
new
company
for
us,
and
I
see
council
member
del
chapo
raising
our
hands.
So
we
we
look
to
provide
a
better
service
through
new
vendor
and
then
number
four
and
five.
I
know
council
knows,
but
just
let
for
the
public
record.
H
Those
are
adjustments
to
our
2020
budget,
both
the
revenue
side
and
the
expenditures
to
adjust
for
the
challenges
we've
faced
this
year
with
cova
19.
I
would
further
say
that
there
are
other
hospitality
and
accommodations
budgets
that
we
will
come
back
to
council
a
little
later
in
the
year
which
will
have
similar
adjustments.
H
I
H
Yeah,
I
just
like
to
add
another
editorial
comment.
I
presume
this
grant
funding
was
available
through
the
cares
act,
but
we
will
have
a
shelter
that
we
will
be
able
to
do
portable
vaccine
stations
throughout
the
city
when
a
vaccine
becomes
available
for
a
kova
19,
which
we
all
hope
is
sooner
rather
than
later.
B
K
H
Absolutely
of
course,
come
when
if
we
are
successful
getting
the
grant,
but
but
frankly,
we
plan
to
proceed
with
this
effort,
whether
we
get
the
five
thousand
dollar
grant
or
not,
and
it's
to
help
those
in
our
community
who
are
un
or
under
banked
to
get
some
financial
literacy.
If
you
will-
and
so
it's
we've
got
some
good
partners
on
board
like
bank
of
america
and
one
of
the
credit
unions
and
td
bank,
and
so
with
or
without
the
grant.
H
B
L
Well,
you're
100
correct.
We
did
have
a
bank
on
initiative
in
charleston
several
years
ago,
so
this
will
be
a
revival.
So
to
speak
of
that
effort,
and
so
yes,
we
are
very
much
looking
forward
to
bringing
more
financial
empowerment
to
the
individuals
and
families
in
our
community
and
we'll
be
working
with
adults
and
youth
through
this.
So
I
see
it
as
a
great
opportunity
to
just
breed
more
partnerships
and
and
get
the
services
to
the
citizens.
K
That's
great,
thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
mindy
and
thank
you
chairman.
I
I
I
do.
I
have
been
listening
in
to
the
economic
empowerment
committee
of
the
commission
on
equity,
inclusion
and
racial
conciliation,
and
hopefully
they
already
know
about
this,
but
if
not,
we
really
do
need
to
do
that
cross
pollination.
So
thanks.
Thank
you.
D
G
F
N
The
other
side
tail
to
this,
in
my
discussions
with
the
mayor,
was
maybe
to
go
forward
with
part
of
the
contract
with
bennett.
I
think
it
was
like
know:
140
160
000,
like
the
engineering
study
and
proposal
for
this.
So
that
sounds
like
a
convoluted
motion
that
would
get
me
kicked
out
of
court
if
I
said
that
in
the
courtroom,
but
my
motion
would
be
to
defer
until
next
week
to
then
just
bring
up
this
discussion
on
this
task
force.
H
Could
I
reckon,
could
I
respectfully
suggest,
maybe
a
little
modified
route
forward,
because
you
know
we've
been
working
on
this
issue
of
the
stack
for
some
time,
not
just
our
conversations
recently
but
capital
projects
and
craig
bennett
for
for
a
while
and-
and
I
feel
some
urgency
for
this
to
kind
of
move.
The
ball
forward.
One
way
or
the
other
and
edmond
is
on
the
line,
and
I
believe
craig
bennett
is
on
the
line
as
well.
H
I
don't
want
to
just
kick
the
ball
down
the
road
people
been
waiting
for
the
city
to
take
some
action
on
this
matter.
We
have
a
letter
from
our
chief
building
official
about
the
stability,
and
so
I
think
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
go
ahead
and
take
that
first
step,
which
is
to
hire
mr
bennett
to
to
come
up
with
the
specific
plan
and
documents
in
order
to
preserve
them.
J
Yes,
sir,
appreciate
you
recognizing
me,
I
was
wondering:
should
we
go
ahead
and
make
a
decision
whether
or
not
we
want
them
torn
down
or
not,
because
if,
if
the
task
force
is
I
mean
to
me,
those
are
completely
different
things.
Either
we
want
there's.
There
may
be
some
of
us
that
want
to
vote
on
taking
them
down
all
the
way.
J
So
I
was
wondering
if
we
could
at
least
discuss
are
there
other
members
of
council,
I'm
still
leaning
towards
staying
within
the
budget
and
spending
the
500
000
and
taking
them
down
all
the
way?
I
don't
know
if
other
council
members
are
laying
that
way
either,
but
if,
if
more
people
were
inclined
to
do
that,
then
I
don't
think
we
would
need
a
task
force.
I
think
the
tax
would
be
more
for
renovations
and
keeping
them
up
for
some
sort
of
hype.
So.
J
Well,
well,
I'm
going
to
vote
for
the
task
force.
I'm
just
saying:
why
would
we
need
to
have
the
task
force
if
people
were
going
to
vote
to
take
it
down
saying?
Can
we
at
least
discuss
that
first
to
make
sure
that's
not
the
consensus
and
then
and
then
take
a
vote
because
I'm
going
to
vote
for
the
task
force,
but
I
would
probably
also
vote
to
take
him
down.
K
The
way
I
read,
that
is,
the
hiring
would
be
for
the
objective
of
of
working
on
engineering,
the
partial
demolition
which
I
thought
we
all
agreed
two
weeks
ago
that
for
at
the
work
session
a
week
ago,
that
there's
really
no
affinity
now
for
the
60
foot
height,
which
is
the
way
I
read
this
number
14..
So
if
we
can
modify
that
on
the
flood,
then
I'm
happy
to
you
know
to
hire
the
the
structural
engineering
work
to
be
done
along
with
the
task
force.
H
Mr
chairman,
if
I
may
just
for
clarification,
we
have
an
update
from
mr
bennett
and
mr
booth
that
that
addresses
that
the
the
the
contract
would
be
amended
for
him
to
pursue
the
wishes
of
the
task
force.
But
we
need
to
get
him
started
at
work.
That's
so
it
would
be
amended
as
well.
We
have
a
proposal
from
mr
bennett
that
we
could
discuss
if
we
ever
got
this
on
on
the
floor.
O
Yes,
sir,
to
my
colleagues,
I
understand
what
you
are
trying
to
do
and
what
you're
saying
when
the
task
force,
even
with
the
task
force
when
I
spoke
to
councilman
peter
shade,
I
told
him.
I
told
him
that
I
don't.
Even
I
don't
even
see
another
committee,
I
said
we
have
so
many
committees
going
on
and
they'll
be
running
crazy
with
a
lot
of
committees.
O
O
Everybody
is
now
on
the
same
page
with
that
a
lot
of
people
were
saying
on
the
commit
on
the
in
the
community
tear
down,
he
said,
it'll
serve
any
purpose
actually,
and
I
said
as
we
wait
and
we
keep
waiting
price
goes
up
also
and
see
when
price
goes
up,
we're
in
the
strain
of
money
as
it
is
now,
and
this,
like
a
smokestack,
I
explained
a
lot
of
people
with
the
smokestack.
A
lot
of
people
were
talking
about
the
smokestack,
but
don't
even
know
what
the
smokestack
was
all
about.
O
They
said
is
the
the
icon
of
the
smokestack
of
the
presence
of
the
smokestack.
That's
what
you're
looking
at
most
of
the
present
of
the
smoke
stack,
but
the
smoke
stack
really
does
not
serve
any
purpose.
Actually,
you
know.
So
that's
why
I
came
with
that
provision
of
saying
bringing
it
down
halfway
and
that's
what
I
came
up
with
that
solution
to
come
with
a
compromise
if
you
make
with
the
community
of
staying
136
feet
in
the
air,
but
also
I
attached
to
that.
O
Mr
mayor,
when
we
were
talking
about,
is
bringing
the
cap
down
off
the
top.
If
that
can
happen,
bring
the
cap
and
place
it
on
the
top
of
that
which
you
will
have
to
do
brick
work
to
bring
it
smaller
because,
as
the
smoke
stack
goes
down,
it
gets
wider,
so
you'll
still
have
to
bring
it
up,
so
it'll
be
really
might
be,
you'll
be
higher
than
60
feet.
Actually,
so
it
stayed
up
in
the
air
and
and
when,
when.
O
C
O
The
smoke-
and
I
was
talking
with
them-
I
go
and
speak
to
the
people
on
the
inside,
because
the
district
that
I
represent,
so
I
go
and
speak
to
the
people
on
east
side.
You've
got
a
few
saying:
oh,
let's
stay
up,
you
got
other
feelings.
Now,
besides,
hey
tear
down,
you
know,
you
don't
want
to
see
all
the
money
being
used
for
that
and
something
is
being
used
for
people
who
is
living
living
now
and
they
start
with
living
with
jainism.
O
No
one
else
in
charleston
wanted
in
their
community,
so
they
dumped
it
right
there
in
that
community
and
they
burned
everything
and
all
the
smoke
that
was
coming
down
was
a
health
hazard
for
the
community
and
eventually
they
closed
it,
but
they
created
the
jump
back
to
green.
That's
what
that's
part
of
the
history
of
it.
That
was
told
by
me
back
in
those
time
by
my
father
and
grandparents,
who
was
living
in
those
areas,
and
they
know
more
about
than
I
did.
O
O
B
B
M
Think
the
mayor
did
too
so
I
think
the
councilmember
is
right
in
terms
of
procedure.
We
need
to
decide
on
the
task
force
or
not,
because
that
that
is
going
to
indicate
which
direction
we
want
to
go,
and
my
understanding
is
on
the
two
matters
that
are
on
our
ways
and
means
committee,
one
of
which
is
to
sign
a
contract
with
mr
bennett
to
design
a
fix
not
to
take
these
down,
and
it
may
be
that
the
task
force
wants
to
go
and
hire
someone
else
to
do
it.
M
H
So
I
had
proposed
a
way
for
us,
but
there's
a
lot
of
conversation.
Could
I
suggest
whether
it's
in
order
or
not,
that
we
allow
craig
bennett
to
to
say
a
few
words
about
what
he
is
with
his
analysis
of
the
stacks
and
and
count?
Mr
chairman,
we
we
did
address,
even
though
it's
a
temporary
matter
of
the
evacuation
plan
for
those
in
the
immediate
vicinity.
So
we
have
temporarily,
but
we
haven't
done
it
long
term
and
that's
why
I
agree
with
council
members
seeking.
H
D
Two
and
a
half
years
ago,
we
we
said
one
option
was
to
to
let's
see.
Actually
this
was
two
years
ago.
I
take
that
back
that
the
historically
appropriate
ways
to
repair
the
the
shell
and
take
down
the
liner.
So
it's
not
a
danger
and
or
repair
the
liner.
So
it's
not
a
danger,
and
then
there
are
then
another
option
was
to
actually
disassemble
the
disassemble
the
chimneys.
D
What
we
realized
at
that
time
was
that
that,
if,
if
we
proceeded
with
taking
these
down
it,
it
would
actually
harm
the
city's
ability
to
to
deal
with
to
deal
with
similar
projects
that
come
up
in
the
future
and
and
and
for
that
reason
we
we
recommend
it
going
ahead
and
doing
some
repair
on
those
things,
and
since
that
time,
we've
looked
at
a
number
of
different
options.
We've
looked
at
the
options
of
repairing
them.
D
We've
looked
at
the
options
of
taking
them,
both
halfway
down
and
and
we've
looked
at
the
option
of
taking
them
all
the
way
down.
All
of
those
options
are
still
from
a
structural
standpoint
possible,
and
I
understand
full
well
that
the
city
has
done
a
good
job
of
meeting
with
the
with
the
neighborhood
and
and
has
contingency
plans
in
place
for
dealing
with
especially
high
wind
events,
so
the
city
has
bought
some
time
there.
In
addition,
I
think
all
of
you
should
know
that
it's
it's.
G
N
N
And
we
are
a
city
that
likes
preservation.
We
are
a
city
that
likes
to
preserve
our
history
and
and
celebrate
our
history,
and
so
this
is
sort
of
a
more
of
a
pause
button
to
give
ourselves
an
opportunity.
The
urgency
had
been
that
we
were
in
the
beginning
of
or
the
midst
of
a
storm
season,
and
we
needed
to
do
something
very
quickly
to
avoid
these
things
from
falling
down.
So
my
idea
was
that
if
we
can
create
this
task
force,
they
can
help
us
maneuver
and
navigate
through
all
of
this.
N
This
is
a
sensitive
subject
for
a
lot
of
folks
and
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
whatever
decision
we
did,
we
just
followed
our
normal
protocol
and
procedures
in
doing
that.
So,
if
per
the
mayor's
request
that
we
approve
mr
bennett's
contract
for
160
000
to
start
the
process
of
the
engineering
work
on
this,
that
would
that
would
suit.
N
I
think
our
needs
and
then
come
back
and
vote
on
those
task
force
and
let
them
handle
this
like,
and
that's
going
to
include
members
of
city
council
members
from
our
city
staff,
members
from
the
community
and
members
from
our
two
prominent
historic
foundation
and
our
preservation
society.
So
we
get
a
clear
input
on
all
of
this
and
when
it
comes
to
funding
we
we
we
any
at
half
of
this
and
see
what
the
community
can
do
and
ending
up
the
the
other
half.
So,
let's
move
forward
with
the
mayor's
proposal.
N
N
C
C
B
C
H
B
E
H
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear,
so
we
we
we're
engaging
with
mr
bennett
to
to
get
the
design
done
to
know
what
it
will
really
take
to
preserve
the
stacks
okay.
So
when
the
task
force
meets,
they
can
come
back
and
say
yeah.
We
want
to
proceed
and
we
don't
have
to
start
at
that
point
in
january,
with
engineering
and
design
we
we
need
again.
I
I
believe
we
need
to
get
this
ball
rolling.
Don't
get
me
wrong.
H
B
H
It'll
use
the
existing
budget
that
we
have
of
800
000
still
in
this
project
budget,
and
so
when
the
task
force
meets
and
makes
their
recommendation
if
it
is
to
preserve
the
stacks
and
they
were
able
to
raise
half
the
money.
Like
is
prescribed
by
council
member
shade
and
we'll
be
we'll
we'll
just
keep
on
rolling.
M
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Just
very
briefly,
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
in
mr
bennett's
comments
he
did
say
two
and
a
half
years
ago
they
looked
at
this.
They
looked
at
all
the
options
that
we
still
have
our
options
available,
they've
reduced
significantly
the
risk
factor,
and
I
think
what
he
said-
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
clear
as
we
go
forward
and
the
task
force
goes
forward.
M
When
we
look
at
engineering
challenges
with
other
buildings,
so
I
don't
think
anything's
going
to
change
going
forward
now
that
we've
got
mr
bennett
to
put
on
the
record
that
we
have
managed
our
risk
to
a
point
where
he's
comfortable
with
it.
So
I
look
forward
to
the
task
force
going
forward
and
figuring
a
way
to
preserve
these
smoke
stacks
going
forward.
Thank
you.
B
C
Chairman,
I
do
have
one
other
question.
Okay,
I
do
have
one
question
and-
and
mr
benson's
assessment
I
mean,
will
it
also
be
determined
if,
if
one
comes
down
and
we
preserve
one,
as
was
suggested
by
councilman,
one
of
the
councilmen
said
that
30
minutes
ago
I
don't
know
so
if
the
alternative
would
have
come
back,
one
is,
you
know,
really
bad
and
the
other
one
is
you
know
salvageable.
D
It
would
be,
it
would
be
entirely
reasonable
if
we
found
that
one
was
in
such
terrible
shape
that
that
we
got
to
the
point
we
said
we
recommend
not
doing
this
on
one
of
these
chimneys.
It
would
be
entirely
reasonable
to
come
back
to
the
city
and
say
we
would
like
to
change
the
scope
of
this
project
and
we
would
like
to
preserve
one,
but
not
the
other.
B
H
Okay,
so
I
move
that
we
approve
the
item
in
number
14,
but
amended
to
be
engineering
services
and
design
for
the
full
preservation
of
both
stacks,
along
with
the
creation
of
a
task
force,
as
recommended
by
council
member
shade
and
compose
thereof,
to
to
to
make
a
definitive
recommendation
back
to
council
by.
I
think
he
said
the
second
second
meeting
of
january
right,
correct.
B
H
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
just
had
a
point
of
clarification
with
the
email
that
councilmember
shead
had
sent
in
the
in
this
motion,
for
the
task
force
is
the
direction
of
the
task
force.
Pursuant
to
the
proposal
that
councilmember
shead
had
sent
out
in
terms
of
looking
for
50
of
the
funding
to
come
from
private
sources,.
B
B
N
N
Met
yesterday
afternoon,
we
had
a
very
full
agenda.
The
first
item
was
to
approve
a
third
amendment
to
the
lease
agreement
between
the
city
and
echo
best
east
shed
development
llc.
So
we
could
they
could
find
a
third-party
tenant
to
occupy
the
space.
Lee
bailey
is
on
the
line,
and
lee
may
be
able
to
give
you
a
little
more
in-depth
discussion
about
that.
So
lee
wouldn't
call
on
you
just
to
briefly
describe
that.
For
us.
Please.
P
Yes,
sir,
thank
you,
council
members,
so
we've
been
in
a
master
lease
agreement
with
eco
best
development
llc,
since
around
2012
they
did
initially
have
a
substitute
in
the
space
that
was
running
a
restaurant.
It's
been
vacant
for
about
15
months.
Unfortunately,
that
tenant
did
not
make
it,
unfortunately,
but
they
have
lined
up
a
new,
a
new
tenant
that
looks
very
promising.
K
M
You
just
very
briefly,
mr
chairman.
This
is
a
really
great
deal
for
the
city.
I
want
to
thank
the
real
estate
committee
and
lee
your
team
for
putting
this
together.
If
this
all
works
as
it
should,
you've
got
a
local
development
team
going
to
put
in
a
local
operator
into
a
space,
that's
essentially
been
empty
for
a
number
of
years,
so
in
a
very
difficult
time,
this
is
some
very
good
news
for
the
corridor
that
we've
been
so
worried
about
putting
a
business
into
the
upper
king
street
area.
M
K
K
I
read
that
the
of
the
least
carefully,
because
I
have
been
learning
a
lot
about
the
museum
as
a
as
an
education
resource
for
our
community,
especially
for
the
neighborhoods,
where
the
kids
go
to
school
locally,
they
get,
they
get
scholarships
to
go
to
the
museum.
The
museum
has
had
an
amazing
rehab
renovation
over
the
last
year
and
unfortunately,
covet
has
just
slammed
them
to
the
ground.
K
So
the
fact
that
the
restaurant
is
going
to
be
subleasing,
they
they
have
strict
requirements
to
have
a
family-friendly
establishment,
essentially,
which
will
be
a
very
interesting
new
level
in
this
group's
repertoire.
As
far
as
I
understand,
but
I
really
do
hope
that
we
can
all
figure
out
how
to
better
support
the
children's
museum.
K
Their
counterparts
across
the
country
are
going
dark
and
this
is
not
a
tourist
attraction.
The
children's
museum
is
a
bricks
and
mortar
educational
institution,
and
I
really
hope
that
we
can
start
thinking
about
it.
That
way,
so
I
just
want
to
put
in
a
plug
at
the
same
time
as
we're
bringing
in
a
great
establishment.
I
Thank
you,
chair,
just
real
quick
to
to
piggyback
on
councilwoman
jackson's
point
with
the
children's
museum.
It
really
isn't
a
museum
and
I
think
the
name
you
know
doesn't
do
it
justice
in
many
ways,
but
it's
really
a
place
where
young
kids
go
in
the
particular
neighborhood
charleston
that
go
and
learn
about
stem,
and
you
know
college
readiness
activities
and
I
think,
as
a
council,
we
should
start
thinking
about
maybe
putting
them
in
another
category
and
we've
had
that
discussion
with
carol
jackson.
I
I
Absolutely
and
and
she,
the
executive
director
is
on
the
special
commission
council,
councilman
gregory
who's
for
our
youth
in
education.
So
hopefully
she
will
provide
some
input,
help
that
special
commission
think
about
inequities
that
we
have,
because
they
serve
many
kids
in
our
in
our
neighborhoods.
As
you
know,
they
serve
that
general
area,
which
is
over
near
charleston
progressive.
I
C
You,
mr
chairman,
add
me
to
the
list
account
councilwoman
jackson
and
councilman
sacrament.
Actually,
our
family
is
a
annual
members
of
the
children's
museum.
They
do
great
works
over
there
and
I
really
think
support
councilman
sacramento.
Maybe
they
can
put
them
in
a
different
category
much
more
than
just
a
museum.
Thank
you.
N
Yeah,
I'm
not
finished
with
the
report.
Mr
chairman,
so
item
b
was
a
recommendation
that
we
approve.
This
is
very
interesting.
A
lease
for
a
one
parking
space
to
place
a
dumpster.
The
amount
of
rent
was
calculated
on
the
loss
revenue
for
the
use
of
that
parking
space.
That
was
also
recommended
that
we
approve
that
we
also
had
two
annexations.
N
We
recommended
that
those
annexations
won
in
district
seven,
one
in
district
five
be
approved.
We
had
an
add-on
for
the
authorization
to
execute
a
rental
agreement
with
saint
andrews
pool
in
part
for
the
use
of
that
pool
on
a
temporary
basis,
while
our
other
pools
were
being
under
some
maintenance
and
repair
work.
We
also
recommended
that
that
temporary
lease
be
used
so
that
our
residents,
particularly
schools,
age
students,
can
continue
their
swim.
All
those
were
passed
unanimously
for
recommendation
and
pass
it
on
to
council.
N
As
to
what
a
can
be
done
short
of
an
archaeology
ordinance
or
make
recommendations
along
those
lines,
not
necessarily
that
we
have
the
funding
to
hire
somebody
from
time
staff,
but
to
see
what
we
can
do
in
the
interim
in
the
event
that
we
we
do
come
up
with
some
funding.
Or
what
can
we
do
short
of
a
official
ordinance
to
address
things
such
as
burial
grounds
and
other
archaeological
digs
along
the
lines?
N
And
finally,
we
had
a
discussion
on
annexation
of
some
of
these
doughnut
holes
throughout
the
city,
particularly
in
west
ashley,
and
mr
lindsey's
recommendation
was
that
we
tasked
our
gis
department
to
come
up
with
an
idea
to
do
sort
of
an
inventory
of
what
we're
looking
at
with
some
of
these
properties
that
are
not
in
the
city
but
are
surrounded
by
other
residences
and
properties
that
are
indexed
within
the
city.
And
those
are
that's
my
report,
mr
chairman,.
J
Yes,
sir,
I
just
got
a
question
and
then
a
quick
follow-up,
but
I'm
just
wondering
what
exactly
is
the
motive
behind
the
donut
hole?
Are
we
looking
to
eliminate
the
psd
or
you
know,
are
we?
Are
we
going
after
just
pieces
of
property
that
have
multiple
city
residents
around
them?
You
know,
because,
in
my
district
I've
got
a
large
neighborhood
draken
on
on
the
ashley
and
they're
almost
entirely
psd,
and
they
do
an
amazing
job,
saint
andrews,
psd
of
serving
them.
J
You
know
with
trash,
pickup
and
and
cleaning
their
ditches
and
we've
had
such
a
hard
time
with
environmental
services
over
in
my
district,
I
couldn't
imagine
if
we
annexed
that
whole
neighborhood
and
we
we
can't
even
serve
the
people
that
we
have
now
incr
in
terms
of
our
environmental
services.
So
I'm
just
wondering
you
know:
are
we
looking
to
increase
the
tax
base?
Are
we
just
trying
to
make
things
a
little
bit
easier
on?
You
know
areas
where
99
percent
of
the
area
is
city,
I'm
just
wondering
what
the
motive
is.
There.
N
And
mr
chairman,
I
can
respond
to
that.
The
motive
is
not
to
get
rid
of
the
saint
andrews
public
service
district.
The
motive
is
to
look
at
some
of
these
areas
that
are
surrounded
by
the
city
in
which
property
is
not
annexed.
There's
a
lot
of
that
exists
in
the
avondale
area.
Maryville
lasheville,
huntington
woods
in
my
my
district
and
I'm
just
giving
you
sort
of
a
sample
of
that.
N
N
N
M
M
If
any
of
you
know
where
cone
street
is
it's
parallel
to
east
bay
street
behind
slightly
north
abroad,
where
they're,
building
the
new
hotel
and
there's
a
parking
garage
there,
there's
a
bunch
of
parking
spaces
back
there
and
there's
long
been
a
dumpster
there
and
there's
been
a
lease
with
the
city
on
that
space
for
some
years,
and
I
want
to
thank
peter
rasco
and
dan
riccio,
but
mostly
peter,
for
getting
on
that.
Finding
the
lease
finding
the
owners
of
that
lease
renegotiating
the
lease
and
making
sure.
M
Not
only
do
we
have
2020
rates
on
that
lease,
but
also
that
that
area
is
now
clean
and
will
be
clean.
It
was
a
huge
improvement
that
no
one
would
have
ever
noticed
or
done
had
peter
and
dan
not
gotten
on
it.
So
thank
you
all
for
doing
that.
I
think
it's
gonna
really
make
a
big
difference
back
there,
and
I
know
the
businesses
in
that
corridor
really
appreciate
it.
So
thank
you.
