It
is
said
that
before
entering
the
sea,
a
river
trembles
with
fear
she
looks
back
at
the
path
she
has
traveled
from
the
peaks
of
the
mountains,
the
long
winding
road
crossing
forests
and
villages
and
in
front
of
her.
She
sees
an
ocean
so
vast
that
to
enter
there
seems
nothing
more
than
to
disappear
forever,
but
there
is
no
other
way.
The
river
cannot
go
back.
Nobody
can
go
back
to
go
back
as
impossible
in
existence.
H
I
A
Thank
you
very
much.
As
I
mentioned,
we
have
a
couple
of
guests
with
us
tonight.
I
received
a
letter
of
not
long
ago
from
a
sherry
moore
whose
father
mr
julius
brown,
after
being
born
in
charleston
and
having
a
great
career
in
florida
and
missouri
and
elsewhere,
came
back
home
and
has
retired
now
85
years
young.
So
I
thought,
with
black
history
month
being
this
month,
that
we
would
honor
mr
brown
and
also
another
gentleman
of
mr
campbell,
who
will
I'll
speak
of
in
just
a
few
moments.
A
Mr
mr
brown
became
a
renowned
laboratory
research
technician
and
if,
if
the
last
year
of
covid
and
pandemic
didn't
teach
us
anything
but
the
importance
of
our
medical
professionals
and
researchers,
I
don't
know
what
did
so.
Thank
you
for
your
service
and
your
career
and
it
it
highlights
the
importance
of
a
good
steam
education
for
our
kids
to
pursue
science
and
technology.
A
Don't
leave
out
the
arts
and
math,
and
he
was
such
a
example,
an
inspiration
to
his
own
daughter,
sherry.
She
currently
works
at
the
in
the
laboratory
at
medical
university
of
south
carolina,
so
mr
brown
and
his
wife
betty
they
live
on
james
island
and
attend
the
first
baptist
church
of
james
island.
Reverend
charlie
murray,
who
I
think
many
of
us
know
is,
is
their
pastor.
A
A
Then
he
moved
in
1967
and
took
a
position
at
the
university
of
missouri,
where
he
worked
with
sinclair
research,
farm,
doing
research
involving
monkeys
over
a
thousand
monkeys
over
the
years.
Julia
stephen
brown
senior
has
been
recognized
with
several
awards
and
honors
for
his
work
in
research,
such
as
outstanding
animal
technician
award
given
by
the
american
association
for
laboratory
animal
science.
A
He
was
also
recognized
by
the
university
of
missouri
and
the
columbia
tribune
for
his
outstanding
contributions
to
research,
whereas
the
city
of
charleston
would
like
to
recognize
you,
mr
brown,
for
your
years
of
dedicated
service
in
the
research
field
and
for
your
exceptional
contributions
as
an
african-american
research
specialist.
Now,
therefore,
I
john
j
tackleberg
mayor
city
of
charleston.
We
proclaim
this
day
mr
brown
and
your
honor
to
be
julia's
stephen
brown
senior
day
in
the
city
of
charleston.
J
A
Now,
my
friends,
another
notable
charlestonian,
unfortunately
recently
passed
mr
james
e
campbell.
He
was
a
native
charlestonian,
really
a
national
and
local
treasurer.
An
acclaimed
educator
civil
rights
advocate
journalists,
widely
known
and
respected
mr
campbell
passed
away
just
recently
saturday
january
30th.
He
resided
also
on
james
island.
The
family
will
not
be
able
to
join
us
tonight,
but
I
did
want
to
share
with
you
that
I
sent
the
family
a
resolution
from
myself
and
from
city
council
honoring,
mr
campbell.
I
I
bet
that
many
of
my
colleagues
here
on
council
knew
mr
campbell.
A
He
joined
the
marine
corps
and
served
honorably
in
world
war
ii
after
the
war.
He
attended
morgan
state
college
in
baltimore,
but
he
was
called
back
in
and
served
also
for
two
years
in
the
korean
conflict.
Oh
james
campbell,
he
returned
to
morgan
state.
He
graduated
in
1953,
with
a
major
in
english
and
minor
and
theater
and
after
graduating
formed
the
arena
players.
A
It's
the
longest
continuously
running
black
theater
company
in
the
united
states,
and-
and
this
is
remarkable
in
1957,
he
relocated
to
new
york
city
to
teach
and
become
involved
in
the
civil
rights
movement
there.
He
met
malcolm
x,
with
whom
he
created
the
organization
of
afro-american
unity's
liberation
school.
A
He
also
taught
in
tanzania
for
over
10
years
before
moving
back
to
new
york
and
then
finally
retiring
back
here
in
charleston,
where
he
remained
active
in
local
political
and
educational
issues.
He
served
as
the
state
coordinator
of
south
carolina
project,
an
advisory
board
member
for
the
school
of
education
at
the
college
of
charleston,
chair
of
the
education
committee
for
the
charleston
branch
naacp
and
james
campbell
rightly
earned
the
respect,
admiration
and
high
regard
for
all.
A
K
L
L
Walk
in
history,
I
can't
tell
you
how
interesting
of
a
character
he
was
recently.
They
had
a
birthday
party
for
him.
I
think
it
was
like
this
is
doing
colvin,
so
it
was
a
drive-by
birthday
party.
It
was
right
on
james
island
and
I'm
not
kidding.
It
was
a
traffic
jam
to
drive
by
this
gentleman's
house
just
to
leave
and
wish
happy
birthday
to
him.
L
Drive-By,
the
muffler
point
marines
and
that
group
was
still
there
to
recognize
mr
campbell
and
his
accomplishment
that
whole
family,
the
campbell
seabrook
family,
just
very
well
done.
Obviously
the
brown
family.
So
thank
you
for
recognizing
these
families.
In
particular.
You
know,
after
you
know
doing
this
month,
right
here,
a
recognition.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
A
M

Third,
the
city
should
remove
fundraising
from
the
committee
scope
and
focus
its
primary
initial
efforts
on
technical
review.
We
need
a
final
plan
with
defensible
solutions
in
order
to
convince
prospective
funders
to
get
there.
The
city
should
use
this
committee
to
realize
the
data-driven
plan
that
will
address
all
types
of
flooding,
storm,
water
and
sea
level
rise
issues,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
comment
tonight.
N
Hi
everybody,
my
name
is
jason
jones,
founder
united
court
of
charleston.
Just
over
the
weekend,
we
had
to
stop
the
eight
rarely
rally
down
at
the
battery,
both
to
double
down
on
our
message
that
we
sent
out
the
last
city
council
and
to
honor
moving
dean
dubai,
who
was
a
great
activist
here
in
this
area.
With
all
that
being
said
today,
I
did
send
another
email
to
a
majority
of
the
members
of
the
council
with
the
main
point
in
there.
N
The
main
point
number
one
was
that
the
city
no
longer
allows
flags
across
the
south
to
operate
within
their
city.
I
have
sent
several
documentation
showing
that
this
group
is
a
hate
group
hate
language
threat
for
my
lives,
as
well
as
the
other
lives
of
other
black
leaders
in
the
city,
and
this
group
has
threatened
to
demolish
statues
that
were
put
up
in
honor
of
black
figures,
which
is
extremely
exceptional,
especially
inside
the
black
history
book
all
because
they
are
afraid
of
statues
coming
down
from
confederate
figures
across
the
southeast.
N
Second
part
of
this
is
that
we
make
sure
that
we
make
this
area
downtown
and
no
protest
zone,
and
then
third-
and
this
is
the
most
important
one
of
all-
is
that
the
city
goes
back
and
revisits.
The
resolution
put
in
the
resolution
must
be
changed
back
to
the
original
wording.
We
have
groups
here
right
now
that
need
to
bring
hate,
malice
and
discontent
that
they
all
are
white
nationalists,
neo-nazis
or
white
supremacy
groups.
Those
groups
need
to
be
spelled
out.
N
O
O
I
want
to
talk
to
you
all
about
some
things.
How
many
of
you
remember
a
few
years
ago
watching
the
crowds
gather
outside
the
college
of
charleston
on
the
local
news
and
seeing
a
young
man
run
across
the
street
and
snatch
a
flagpole
away
from
a
member
of
a
white
supremacist
group
waving
his
hate
flag.
O
O
You
all
know
about
the
time
the
guys
showed
up
with
automatic
weapons
at
the
battery
or
the
times
militia
showed
up
there
or
when
the
guy
was
playing
around
with
a
long
gun
and
aiming
it
across
the
park.
How
about
the
time
the
guy
showed
up
with
a
grappling
hook
or
the
guy
who
stopped
his
car
in
the
middle
of
the
street
and
got
out
to
threaten
protesters?
O
Do
you
have
any
clue
how
many
cars
stop
in
the
street
when
the
protests
are
going
on
before
somebody
gets
hurt
or
worse?
Please
do
something.
The
areas
that
the
battery
and
white
point
gardens
are
high
traffic
areas
with
hundreds
of
people
passing
by
every
hour
in
buses,
cars,
bikes,
horse-drawn
carriages
and
on
foot.
The
purpose
of
the
park
is
to
be
a
place
where
everyone
feels
safe
and
welcome
to
explore
and
enjoy
the
area
to
its
fullest.
C
Q
Q
I'm
a
social
studies
teacher.
Clearly
I
understand
and
support
freedom
of
speech
and
freedom
to
assemble.
What
I
don't
understand
is
why
the
city
continues
to
approve
permits
for
this
white
supremacist
hate
group
to
hold
their
demonstrations.
When
I
counter
protest
them,
many
people
walking
by
ask,
are
they
for
real?
Does
this
happen
a
lot?
Q
R
R
Hey,
I
just
wanted
to
call
in
echo
basically
my
colleagues
from
the
united
front
of
basically
banning
flags
across
the
south
from
protesting
or
holding
their
rally
at
white
point
gardens.
They
have
once
again
reiterating
what
everybody
else
has
said.
They
have
went
out
of
their
way
to
basically
threaten
black
leadership
around
charleston
and
to
take
down
denmark
vesti,
and
this
is
all
on-
like
public
forums
like
facebook,
also
banning
them
from
assembly,
because
they
refuse
to
wear
masks,
there's
a
pandemic
going
on,
and
I
really
think
that
we
should
be.
R
It's
really
counter
intuitive
to
have
a
mass
required
sign
right
next
to
a
statue
where
a
bunch
of
people
aren't
wearing
masks,
also
perry
griffin,
you
have
36
000
people
who
want
you
to
resign.
I
know
you
keep
saying
no,
but
36.
000
people
are
a
lot
of
people
and
let
me
tell
you,
there's
like
what
450
of
them
who
actually
reside
in
west
ashley,
that's
more
people
than
that
actually
voted
you
in.
So
please
resign
herring.
C
S
If
you
can't
work
that
angle,
perhaps
you
could
try,
like
others,
have
said,
to
make
the
park
no
protest
zone
or
simply
ban
flag
poles
in
public
spaces.
Mayor
teklenberg,
you
and
I
have
personally
spoken
regarding
amending
an
ordinance
to
ban
the
size
of
the
flag
or
the
poll
that
one
can
carry.
I'm
sure
you'll
remember
that
so.
S
U
A
V
Hello
city,
council,
my
name
is
marcus
mcdonald
and
I'm
calling
your
representation
representation
of
chs
blm.
I'm
calling
today
to
talk
about
black
history
month
and
current
black
history
and
what
it
means
to
me
and
what's
going
on
right
now,
so
I
read
the
last
resolution
that
was
changed.
There
was
passed
in
the
last
two
city
council
meetings
about
white
supremacy,
and
I
do
want
to
reiterate
one
thing
about
the
division.
V
The
division
is
already
here.
I
know
many
of
y'all
have
read
the
state
of
racial
disparities
report
released
by
every
institute.
The
division
is
already
here.
The
racial
wealth
gap
is
already
here.
The
education
wealth
gap
is
already
here.
These
groups
do
not
seek
to
divide
our
community;
they
seek
to
remain
the
status
quo,
they're
afraid
of
what
is
coming.
V
The
division
is
already
here,
and
these
groups
seek
like
the
flags
of
the
south
and
proud
boys
which
have
just
been
deemed
a
terrorist
group
by
canada.
They
seek
to
remain
the
status
quo
and
by
doing
nothing,
you're
actually
helping
their
cause
of
remaining
status
quo
and
before
I
know
I
only
have
two
minutes
so
I'm
gonna
get
to
this
harry
griffin.
We
demand
you
resign
immediately,
as
said
before,
there's
over
36
000
signatures
calling
for
a
resignation,
and
if
you
want
to
take
these
polls,
we
can
take
it
to
the
polls
too.
U
Good
evening,
I
will
be
brief.
I
want
to
echo
what
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
have
said,
but
clearly
it
can't
be
said
enough,
because
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
any
action
on
these
issues.
My
concern
is
flags
across
the
south
they're
content
that
they
continue
to
get
permits
when
they
don't
follow.
The
rules
outlined
in
those
permits
they
do
not
wear
masks,
ignoring
the
city's
mask
mandate
and
river
is
an
ongoing
thing.
U
U
I
would
like
to
suggest,
if
you're
no
longer
going
to
adhere
to
the
guidelines
put
forth
in
the
permits
that
you
ban
flagpoles
from
the
battery
or
declare
the
battery
a
no
protest
zone
also,
since
harry
griffin
has
shown
that
he
backs
the
very
people
that
the
hate
resolution
speaks
to,
he
should
resign
immediately.
Thank
you.
P
Good
evening,
thank
you,
mr
mayor
members
of
council,
cassian,
dralet
historic,
charleston
foundation
under
bills
for
first
reading
agenda
item
m1.
I
respectfully
encourage
council
to
give
first
reading
to
the
ordinance
creating
city
of
charleston's
peninsula
coastal
flood
risk
management,
study,
citizen
and
business
advisory
committee.
P
Hcf
commends
mayor,
tecklenberg
and
resiliency
officer
mark
wilber
for
their
work
in
bringing
this
forward.
The
city
was
wise
to
partner
with
this
business
and
nonprofit
community,
to
pursue
an
independent
analysis
by
wagner
and
ball
on
the
army
corps.
Three
by
three
study.
Magnarian
ball
made
a
series
of
recommendations
on
how
to
best
navigate
the
army
corps
process
and
improved
outcomes.
P
Creation
of
this
committee
is
commensurate
with
wagner
ball's
recommendations,
communication,
transparency
and
community
engagement
are
key
for
building
stakeholder
consensus,
particularly
given,
what's
at
risk
and
the
potential
for
such
a
huge
infrastructure
investment.
It's
important
that
this
committee's
work
begins
now
in
advance
of
the
release
of
the
army
corps,
optimized
plan
and
the
second
public
comment
period,
and
I
encourage
council
to
move
forward
with
this
ordinance
this
evening.
Thank
you.
D
W
Yes,
forgive
me
if
I'm
a
little
labored
in
my
breathing,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
I
get
through
this
we're
faced
with
a
clear
and
present
danger,
such
as
we've
never
seen
before
in
our
generation
unbridled
and
unrestrained
hate
that
is
fueled
by
white
supremacy
and
empowered
and
emboldened
by
the
most
powerful
voice
in
our
nation
and
the
world,
the
former
president
of
the
united
states.
These
people
are
dangerous.
They
are
strategic,
they
are
home-grown
terrorists
and
they
are
right
in
our
midst.
They
are
everything.
W
W
W
That
is
why
we
strongly
encourage
you
to
encourage
your
colleague,
harry
griffin,
to
voluntarily
step
down
from
this
position
on
city
council
immediately,
at
least
until
the
next
election,
because
feigned
contrition
after
getting
caught
is
not
redemptive
and
elected
officials
who
pander
to
white
supremacists
must
know
that
there
are
consequences
and
repercussions
for
their
actions.
Thank
you.
C
We'll
go
on
to
our
comments
that
we
received
by
phone
and
email,
and
we
submitted
all
of
these
comments
to
counsel
prior
to
the
meeting.
One
person
said
that
they
agreed
with
the
charleston
historical
society
100
percent.
They
didn't
reference,
what
they
were
agreeing
with
them
in
regards
to,
but
they
agreed
with
them.
C
C
They
said
that
a
show
on
netflix
showed
the
cast
members
coming
to
charleston
and
finding
flaggers
on
the
battery.
They
said
it
was
not
a
good
look
for
the
city
and
they
asked
that
councilmember
griffin
resign.
One
person
asked
that
city
council
consider
a
no
mask,
no
permit
policy
for
people
to
protest
or
gather
in
groups.

Thank
you,
mayor
tuckerberg.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
want
to
thank
our
wellness
coordinator,
paul
weeders,
for
all
the
work
that
he
puts
in
on
this
committee.
Getting
the
agendas
together
and
organizing
he
does
a
great
job,
and
this
group
shows
a
lot
of
value.
It's
we've
met
a
few
times
since
the
last
time
we
gave
a
report
so
paul
helped
me
put
together
some
some
highlights
on
here
of
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done
and
also
want
to
thank
councilman
seeking
for
his
contributions
to
this
committee
as
well.
X
X
X
She
gives
us
updates
on
their
services
and
many
partnerships
throughout
our
community,
especially
within
city
government
and
with
our
public
safety
departments
as
well.
An
interesting
note
was
that
they
have
availability
to
always
accommodate
walk-ins
monday
through
friday.
9
a.m
to
3
p.m.
Their
charleston
county
office
over
on
charlie
hall
boulevard
we've
got
the
healthy,
tri-county
and
trident
united
way
initiative.
X
We've
seen
increases
in
this
lately,
there's
three
opioid
hot
spots
in
south
carolina
in
greenville,
charleston
and
horry
counties,
and
if
you
want
to
see
a
list
of
those
dhec
posts,
their
information
at
a
site
called
justpainkillers.com,
but
recently,
we've
seen
the
highest
rates
in
the
state
of
south
carolina's
history
really
for
more
overdoses,
and
so
it's
very
very
important
concern
for
us,
but
south
carolina
does
have
a
hotline.
It's
one.
X
Eight
four
four
sc
hopes
for
people
with
opioid
overdoses
and
other
mental
health
problems
that
they're
experiencing
and
it
serves
as
a
resource
to
not
only
listen
but,
more
importantly,
to
help
tailor
a
response
and
connect
the
resources
to
you
know
the
or
connect
to
resources
nearest
to
that
person.
So
there's
also
the
roper
saint
francis
hospital
take
back
program.
Their
goal,
of
course,
is
to
remove
household
household
opioids
and
other
prescription
medicines
for
the
prevention
of
overdose
and
protection
of
our
environment,
and
we
also
on
our
charleston
city
website.
X
We
have
a
list
of
take
back
areas
which
also
includes
our
cpd
headquarters.
Of
course.
So
we
heard
this
week
from
garcia
williams
about
red,
dress,
sunday
and
they're,
inviting
all
faith
great
faith-based
groups
to
join
in
the
celebration
of
red
dress
sunday,
which
brings
awareness
to
heart
disease
being
the
number
one
cause
of
death
among
women
and
for
more
information
on
that
you
can
go
to
the
medi
t-h-e-m-e-d-I
dot
org
and
also
want
to
give
a
special
thank
you
to
anton
gunn.
X
He
had
chaired
us
for
the
last
three
years
on
this
committee
and
he's
resigned
from
musc
and
moving
on
with
his
career
in
the
private
sector,
but
he's
been
great
for
our
committee
and
and
we're
going
to
miss
having
him
there.
So
the
committee
does
have
one
recommendation
and
that
is
that
the
city
council
provide
advocacy,
which
includes
voicing
support,
participating
as
a
volunteer
or
encouraging
volunteers
to
support
to
a
one-day
data
collection
campaign
called
the
heat
watch,
which
is
a
community
science.
X
A
K

I
think
you
can
go
by
zip
code
and
even
by
neighborhoods,
to
find
out
the
folks
who
have
experienced
an
overdose,
some
of
them
fatal,
and
you
would
be
shocked
to
see
what's
in
your
backyard,
literally
as
a
number
of
overdoses
in
our
community,
it's
a
it's
still.
A
crisis,
there's
still
a
huge
problem
in
our
community
and
whatever
we
can
do
to
partner
with
those
other
agencies.
I
think
is
critically
important
to
that
again,
just
another
shout
out
for
the
fine
work
that
you
doing
on
that.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
A
Y
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
sheila.
This
was
a
very
thorough
and
and
well
executed
report,
and
it
demonstrates
to
me
I
would
never
sit
on
the
health
and
wellness
committee
because
I
don't
remember
medical
terms
to
save
my
life.
So
so
thank
you
for
for
that
kind
of
work.
I
did
one.
It
says
I
would
love
to
volunteer
for
the
the
heat
watch
and
all
the
things
that
you're
going
to
get
into.
As
far
as
advocacy,
I'm
impressed
that
the
charleston
resilience
network
has
been
studying.
Y
You
know
it's
the
carbon
aspects
of
of
heat
and
and
basically
they're
they're
convinced
with
the
scientists.
The
science
that's
been
provided
to
them
that
as
much
as
we
fear
water
and
all
the
impacts
of
flooding
to
our
region.
That
over
you
know
a
much
a
much
bigger
threat
to
everyone's
health
and
safety
is,
is
heat
and
the
buildup
that
not
capturing
carbon
is
giving
to
us.
So
sign
me
up
for
whatever
advocacy
your
group
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
building.
A
A
F
Councilmember
seeking
thank
you,
mr
mayor
two
things
I
just
want
to
commend
and
thank
councilmember
sheeley.
He
has
been
a
very
beautiful
and
faithful
member
of
the
committee,
which
I
also
have
sat
on
since
day.
One
I've
missed
a
few,
but
he's
been
there
all
the
time
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
learned
and
we've
learned
a
lot.
F
It
is
that
we
have
a
major
health
and
access
to
health
care,
disparity
problem
and
issue,
not
just
in
the
city
but
in
this
region,
and
it
is
to
me
at
a
level
that
is
somewhat
alarming,
and
I
know
we
are
just
one
little
old
city,
but
I
believe
that
it
is
time
for
us
to
put
some
resources
towards
that
and
do
whatever
we
can
to
work
on
those
disparities.
They
are
so
dramatic,
literally
not
just
by
zip
code,
but
by
address
in
any
given
subdivision
or
any
given
community.
F
Those
disparities
are
traceable
and
we
just
we've
got
to
address
that.
I
mean
we're
tonight
going
to
take
up
putting
17
people
on
a
committee
to
think
about
a
wall.
We
ought
to
also
be
thinking
about
putting
people
together,
not
just
to
talk
about
those
disparities,
but
mr
mayor
and
fellow
council
members
to
actually
do
something
about
them
and
I
think
really,
during
the
time
of
covet,
it's
become
even
more
pronounced.
So
the
work
of
the
committee
has
been
to
shed
a
light
on
that.
F
I
think
now
we
need
to
take
a
step
forward
and
step
up
and
do
whatever
we
can-
and
I
know,
there's
many
good
works
going
on
in
this
community,
but
to
really
focus
on
it
and
to
get
a
report
back
regularly
about
what
we're
doing
about
health
care
and
health
care
access
disparities.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
fellow
members
of
council.
Thank.
G
A
A
Z
Yes,
sir
good
evening
mayor,
thank
you
tonight
will
be
another
tag:
team
effort
between
shannon
and
myself
I'll
provide
a
really
brief
update
on
kovaid
and
then
turn
it
over
to
shannon.
So
we
can
talk
about
really
the
incredible
work
that
our
emergency
management
team
has
been
doing
and
get
you
all
all
updated
on
that.
Z
J
Z
Cases
per
capita
are
still
a
little
high,
but
we're
starting
to
see
some
we've
got
a
couple
of
indicators
now
that
are
green
and
a
couple
in
yellow.
So
this
is
this
is
good
news
we
still
have.
We
still
have
a
little
ways
to
go
to
be
talking
about
moving
to
a
new
phase,
but
we
are
headed
in
the
right
direction.
Z
Hospitalizations
these
numbers
are
still
a
little
high,
but
they
do
seem
to
be
very
stable
over
the
last
few
weeks,
so
they
don't
seem
to
be
going
up,
which
is
they
seem
to
be
going
a
little
bit
up
and
down
but
seem
to
be
very
stable
overall
and
part
of
this
dashboard.
If
you
haven't
been
there,
you
can
actually
change
the
county
here.
So,
if
you're
curious
to
see
how
our.
Z
Z
Z
So
this
is
a
really
handy
map
to
to
have.
I
think
it's.
The
vax
locator
is
the
name
of
the
website
from
dhec
and,
like
I
said,
this
is
updated
daily
and
you
can
see
exactly
where
you
can
go
to
get
a
vaccine
when,
when
it's
your
turn,
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
shannon
to
talk
about
the
great
work
that
that
emergency
management
is
doing.
AA
Thank
you,
tracy
appreciate
the
kind
words
the
bottom
line,
we're
trying
to
we're,
trying
to
add
to
that
map
there
that
you
just
saw
that
tracy
showed
you.
We've
got
a
a
number
of
efforts
that
are
happening.
I
think
I
said
in
the
last
meeting.
It's
a
lot
like
where
the
team
is
like
race
horses
in
the
gate,
waiting
for
it
to
drop.
We've
got
all
these
logistical
elements
that
we've
been
working
to
solidify
and
and
the
chance
that
we're
able
to
see
some
increased
numbers
of
availability
of
vaccines.
AA
Well,
there's
indications
that
that's
happening
now,
which
is
great
news.
Currently
we're
in
discussions
with
musc
on
using
the
old
bmv
as
a
location
would
work
out
really
well
for
us.
180
lockwood,
still
working
through
a
lot
of
elements
with
that
to
to
bring
the
room
up
to
speed
but
more
to
follow.
There.
AA
For
yet
another
vaccine
effort,
we've
held
multiple
employed
focus
groups
to
gauge
receptivity
to
receiving
a
vaccine
any
obstacles
that
employees
may
face
in
receiving
one.
So
in
terms
of
like
they're
being
able
to
travel,
or
you
know,
work
schedules
and
that
sort
of
thing
we're
digging
in
on
that
as
well.
So
a
lot
of
different
areas
that
we're
focusing
on,
we
will
continue
to
have
this
team
assembled
through
the
spring
and
summer
and
really
as
long
as
it
takes
to
make
sure
that
we
we
get
to
to
hurt
immunity.
AB
I
mean
it
is
clear
nationally
that
there
are
inequities
and
there
are
some
states
that
are
not
even
taking
data,
so
we
really
don't
know
so.
My
question
is:
does
the
state
of
south
carolina
collect
racial
data
so
that
we
can
identify
disparities
and
going
back
to
with
what
mike
and
kevin
were
were
talking
about
being
able
to
locate,
especially
if,
if,
if
you
can
do
it
by
zip
code-
and
sometimes
we
can
by
zip
code,
make
some
determination
with
regard
to
equity?
AA
Council
member,
thank
you
for
your
question.
Sir
there's
been
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
emails,
have
gone
back
and
forth
that
I've
read
from
bloomberg
and
others
supported
to
me
by
the
mayor.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
that.
Personally,
I
have
not
seen
anything
yet
in
terms
of
numbers
that
would
paint
a
a
picture
for
us
tracy.
I
would
you're
kind
of
our
data
expert.
Have
you
seen
anything
from
your
side.
Z
Z
They
are
only
releasing
numbers
of
doses
that
have
been
administered
where
and
the
locations
at
which
they've
been
administered,
but
that's
certainly
something
that
we
can
reach
out
to
dhec
and
to
see
number
one.
Are
they
collecting
it
at
one
point
at
what
at
what
point
will
they
be
able
to
give
us
that
information,
because
we're
past
the
point
of
probably
being
able
to
identify
anyone
which
is
usually
the
concern?
AB
We
can't
require
that
information
locally.
We
can't
take
the
data
that
we
have,
let's
say
for
charleston
county
and
be
able
to
get
some
some
kinds
of
indicators,
because
for
me
this
is
sort
of
an
emergency
I
mean
people
are
dying.
I
mean
I
I
mean
I
actually
know
a
number
of
expect
elderly
african-american
people
who
are
confused.
AB
AB
So
so
my
concern,
I'm
I'm
I'm
really
really
concerned
about
this,
and
I
think
that
we
have
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
a
while.
Okay,
this
isn't
the
first
time
that
we
brought
up
the
need
for
this
kind
of
data
and
for
us
to
be
able
to
track
it,
and
in
addition,
at
what
point
are
we
going
to
go
to
those
areas?
AB
A
Council,
that's
next,
but
if
I
make
council
member
jackson,
that's
why
shannon
and
the
staff
are
working
so
hard
with
the
health
care
providers
to
provide
additional
places
where
the
vaccine
can
be
distributed
and
the
the
limiting
factor
has
been.
The
doses
are
just
not
here
yet,
but
as
soon
as
they're
here
we're
offering
city
facilities
our
gym,
our
dm
our
former
dmv
center
to
musc
to
fetter
carta,
we're.
A
Y
Thank
you
mayor.
Actually,
I
really
appreciate
it
and
I
totally
aligned
myself
with
councilmember
gregory's.
You
know
pent
up
demand
that
we
we,
if
we're,
if
we're
not
being
given
information
that
that
you
know
put
points
us
to
the
racial
disparities
and
and
the
work
that
needs
to
be
done
to
correct
that,
then
I
think
it
is
time
to
be
assertive
aggressive,
whatever
it
takes,
and
my
my
comment
is
actually
based
on
the
the
lack
of
supply
so
mayor.
Y
You
just
pointed
to
that,
because
my
experience
personally
with
friends
and
constituents
this
past
week
was
a
big
example.
Musc
has
been
doing
an
amazing
job,
I
think,
of
managing
their
appointments.
Getting
the
vaccine
out,
you
know
immediately.
They
are
as
helpful
as
possible
to
to
their
customers.
You
don't
have
to
be
a
a
patient
already
enrolled
at
musc.
All
you
got
to
do
is
create
a
little
email
account
for
yourself.
Y
In
order
to
sign
up
for
a
vaccine,
I
mean
they
have
done
an
amazing
job
and
it's
and
it's
very
friendly,
and
if
you
can't
do
the
internet
part,
you
can
call
you
have
to
stay
on
the
line.
For
you
know
some
minutes,
but
a
very
helpful
customer
service
rep
comes
on
and
makes
an
appointment
for
you.
So
I
I
don't
I
don't
have.
I
think
that
we
should
all
you
know
just
congratulate
our
ongoing
partnership
with
musc.
Y
But
but
what
happened
this
week,
I
think,
is
the
big
concern
that
people
who
had
appointments
for
for
either
their
first
and
or
their
second
vaccine
early
early
this
week
that
we're
in
right
now
were
canceled
and
put
back
to
saturday
and
then
what
and
then
they
don't
even
know
if
their
appointment
that
they
already
had
a
pipeline
for
number
two
vaccine
is
going
to
be
honored
so
and
that
really
rests
with
the
state
delivery.
The
state
delivery
supply,
you
know,
has
just
dried
up.
Y
H
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
to
take
this
time
this
opportunity
to
really
just
kind
of
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
commission
and
the
work
that
we're
doing
and
support
my
co-chair,
mr
dudley,
on
on
this
just
an
example.
You
know,
I
realized
that
health
disparities
you
know
could
be
something
that
we
think
about
from
a
state
or
national
level,
but
one
example,
you
know
as
the
as
the
as
the
the
vaccine
is
distributed
here
locally.
H
Folks,
don't
have
access
from
a
transportation
standpoint,
that's
a
barrier
if
folks,
don't
have
access
from
a
time
standpoint,
meaning
if
the
health
care
facility
closes
at
five
or
six.
How
are
folks
supposed
to
get
there.
So
those
are
two
levers
that
we
could.
We
could
touch
in
here
locally.
That
would
help
with
excess
and
it
would
cost
us
very
little
to
do.
I
do
want
to
say,
though,
as
the
commission
announces
some
of
the
recommendations
I
just
want
to
say.
H
AB
AB
Yeah,
mr
mayor,
I
mean
I
mean
just
so
that
we
could
I
mean
there
are
up.
There
are
other
parts
of
the
country
who
are
not
even
using
the
computers
or
anything
first
come
first
serve
okay
line
them
up,
especially
in
those
communities
where
access
is
a
problem.
Okay,
I
just
want
us
mayor
and
council.
Okay
and
I'm
gonna
say
it.
AB
Okay,
we
have
to
avoid
back
scene
genocide,
let's
call
it
what
it
is
and
it
and
I'm
not
saying
it's
intentional
either,
but
I'm
just
saying
in
terms
of
the
rate
of
death
in
certain
communities.
Okay
is
clearly
genocide,
and
I
think
that
anything
that
we
could
do
okay
and
I'm
without
having
to
go
to
a
computer
and
make
a
telephone
call-
and
I
think
I
said
this-
the
last
time
we've
really
got
to
go
where
the
people
are.
AA
AA
AA
So
the
imt
is
working,
ms
lori
arboro
and
others
really
kind
of
helping
us
we're
all.
Seeing
that
there's
a
need
here
and
we're
all
in
complete
agreement
with
you
that
there
needs
to
be
a
focus
on
this
and
and
councilmember
jackson.
To
your
point,
you
know
leveraging
some
intrusive
leadership
to
see
if
we
can't
get
some
answers
to
some
of
the
questions
that
we
have
it's
a
lot
like
it
was
when
we
started
this
testing
stuff
months
ago.
AA
L
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
I
mean
I
agree
with
everything
that
was
said.
I'm
appreciate
councilman
shealy,
leading
it
off
and
the
follow
up
by
councilman,
seekings
and
zach,
and
certainly
gregory
all
around.
I
100
agree
with
you
all
and
if
we
do,
if
this
who
would
package
out
of
washington
dc
emerges,
I
mean
like
the
wiz
talked
about.
You
know
there
will
be
some
funding
and
we
got
to
keep
our
mind
on
the
ball
as
we're
talking
about
now
when
we
don't
have
funding
when
we
get
it
not
to
get
amnesia
now.
L
Has
anybody
received
that
shot
by
showing
hands?
Okay?
Three,
I
have
my
shot.
My
wife
and
I
are
going
to
be
scheduled
for
friday.
I
think
it
would
be
great
when
we
can
get
to
the
point
of
having,
hopefully
a
100
of
a
council,
should
you
decide
to
take
the
shot
take
it
by
the
same
token,
mr
may,
I
think
our
our
city
should
lead
from
the
standpoint
of
our
1700
plus
employees
as
they
get
vaccinated.
L
Maybe
we
can
have
a
temperature
gauge
to
say
you
know.
A
third
has
been
vaccinated.
50
of
our
employees
have
been
vaccinated
and
keep
up
with
the
the
demographics
of
that.
It's
been
said
nationally
that
47
percent
of
african
americans
have
said
they
will
not
take
having
trepidations
about
taking
the
vaccine.
L
Now,
in
my
sphere
of
influence
in
the
neighborhoods
church
groups
and
even
this
council,
I
have
not
come
across
47
of
the
african-americans
saying
they're
not
taking
those
shots,
so
I
don't
know
where
that
is,
but
it's
not
in
the
people
that
I
come
across,
but
I
know
there's
some
trepidations
out
there,
so
small
medium
large,
when
we
can
lead
by
examples
and
show
that
we
rolled
up
our
sleeves
and
got
the
shot.
Let's
let
people
know
it'd
be
great
to
have
a
high
percentage
on
employees.
L
I
don't
know
that
we
get
100,
but
certainly
a
high
percentage
of
city
employees
that
hopefully
would
lead
this
state
to
say
that
charleston
that
city
is
being
vaccinated
by
its
leadership
and
its
employees.
So
I
don't
know
whether
we're
keeping
up
with
that.
But
if
we
are,
we
ought
to
let
the
numbers
be
known.
Thank.
AC
This
is
a
bipartisan.
You
know
from
the
left
from
the
right
42
of
african
americans
said:
they're
comfortable
taking
the
vaccine.
That's
83
of
asians
63,
hispanics
61
white.
I've
got
folks
in
my
family
that
work
at
roper
and
musc,
and
they
tell
me
that
health
care
professionals
on
the
front
lines
are
turning
down
the
vaccine
for
various
reasons.
AC
So
you
know
you
want
to
talk
about
health
care
disparities
in
the
united
states,
a
very
broad,
complex
conversation
that
that
you
know
can
go
on
for
a
long
time.
There's
a
lot
of
work
that
has
to
happen
at
the
federal
and
state
level.
There's
a
lot
of
criticism
that
could
be
laid
about
how
this
country's
handled
the
kova,
19
and
the
vaccine
roll
up.
There's
been
a
lot
of
amazing
success
stories,
but
also
some
really
inexcusable
failures,
but
there's
not
the
city
of
charleston
with
our
limited
resources.
AC
We
can't
solve
all
these
problems,
but
we
can
do
what
we
can
do.
I
think
that
the
idea
of
making
some
of
our
facilities
available
for
mass-
you
know
vaccination
events
and
things
of
that
nature
is
awesome
to
the
extent
we
can
help
people
get
to
and
from
and
use
some
of
our
resources
to
help
get
people
connected,
but
guys,
there's
a
cultural.
AC
You
know
philosophical
thing
that
has
to
be
addressed
here
and
each
of
us
in
our
own
circles,
need
to
help
get
the
word
out
that
you
know
vaccines.
Don't
have
you
know
bill
gates.
You
know
microchips
and
all
that
craziness
that
you
see
on
social
media.
It's
easy
for
us
to
laugh
at
that.
I
think
everybody
on
this
screen
will
take
the
vaccine
as
soon
as
it
becomes
available
to
them.
M
AC
To
take
it
than
women,
according
to
these
polls,
which
I
I'm
shocked,
I
would
have
thought
the
women
would
have
been
above
the
men
in
this
one,
but
that's
another
issue
that
we
need
to
address
and
again
I
don't
think
we
can
solve
all
the
problems
but
where
we
can
help
and
set
a
good
example
as
councilman
waring
just
mentioned.
I
think
we
ought
to
be
doing
it.
K
The
this
pandemic
has
revealed
a
huge
disparity
in
our
community
and
it's
it's
the
number
of
folks
who
have
been
exposed
and
have
been
diagnosed
with
this
clove
19
virus.
It's
a
number
of
school
children
who
don't
have
access
to
the
appropriate
tools,
electronic
tools
to
study
remotely
or
have
the
support
system
at
home
that
they
need
to
study
and
get
an
education
that
their
other
peers
are
receiving.
K
A
You
all
right,
if
no
other
comments,
I
think,
shannon
and
and
tracy.
Thank
you
for
your
updates.
Keep
up
the
good
work,
as
you
hear,
there's
there's
much
more
to
do
so.
Next
is
our
council
communications
section
we
have
a
first
item
up
is
for
permission
for
council
members
to
participate
in
city
council
meetings
from
their
desk
in
council
chamber
council
member
griffin.
G
A
Thank
you
and
I'll
I'll
say:
councilmember
griffin,
that's
that's
perfectly
fine
with
me
I,
but
it
was
just
a
technicality
that
apparently
in
our
ordinance
emergency
ordinance
we
pass
by
council.
We
we
set
up
the
way
we
meet.
So
if
it's
a
consensus
of
council,
I
think
it's
fine,
but
I
just
felt
like
given
that
technicality,
that
we
should
ask
council
if
that's
okay,
any
objections
from
council
for
any
one
of
y'all
to
con
zoom
into
the
meeting
from
council
chambers.
A
H
K
A
C
I
just
wanted
to
say-
and
this
probably
might
be
something
more
for
tracy
and
shannon,
but
if
we
had
more
than
one
person
in
there,
we
would
have
to
make
sure
that
everyone
would
be
spaced
apart.
So
if
we
have
two
council
members
that
typically
you
know
sitting
next
to
each
other
at
a
meeting,
we
might
have
to
look
at
a
different
seating
arrangement
just
to
make
sure
we've
got
the
proper
distancing.
A
A
A
L
A
G
AD
AD
And
that
council
also
has
an
opportunity
now,
the
only
other
procedural
option
would
be
in
order
if,
if
you
were
interested
in,
if
council
was
interested
in
discussing
the
substance
of
this
matter
tonight,
it's
not
on
the
agenda,
so
there
would
have
to
be
a
finding
by
two-thirds
of
the
council
to
once
the
motion
to
remove
it
to
to
take
it
from
the
table
is
approved.
You
would
then
need
to
get
a
second
motion
by
two-thirds
vote
to
add
it
to
the
agenda,
and
then,
basically,
I
think
it's
on
there
for
second
reading.
AD
Is
that
correct,
second
or
third
reading?
You
would
need
to
find
you
need
to
have
a
finding
of
imminent
or
emergency
rationale
for
considering
the
matter,
so
the
motion
can
be
made
tonight.
There's
no
question
about
it.
We
just
listed
it
here
to
sort
of
discuss
the
procedural
aspects
of
it
to
make
sure
that
that
it
was
procedurally
following
the
correct
process
and
again,
the
main
point
here
is
a
motion
needs
to
be
made
to
withdraw
it
from
the
table,
which
is,
in
effect,
a
motion
to
withdraw
the
deferral,
but
then
under
foia.
AD
L
Thank
you,
since
this
is
a
drainage
issue
and
it's
always
been
before
council,
I'm
wondering
whether
we
drop
the
ball
and
I'll
take
responsibility
for
that
was
this
supposed
to
come
back
before
the
public
works
committee,
because
if
we
deferred
it,
we
deferred
it.
For
some
reason
I
mean
to
maybe
alter
it,
adjust
it
in
some
way.
L
If
I
remember
correctly,
I
think
this
dealt
with
low-lying
properties.
I
don't
know
something,
maybe
around
six
foot
elevation
or
something
like
that
very
low
lying
properties,
and
it
was
discussed
in
the
context
of
the
dutch
dialogue
in
that
regard.
I'm
thinking
why
wouldn't
this,
I
think
we
should
pull
this
back
to
public
works
and
then
vet
through
whatever
we
can
go
back
and
review
the
tapes
in
the
minutes.
Why
council
deferred
this?
I
don't
really
remember
right
now,
but
I
knew
it
was
a
drainage
issue.
A
I
Yeah
thank
you
mayor
and,
and
I
would
I
would
probably
want
to
go
back
and
review
the
tapes
for
incredible
specificity,
but
I
believe
the
original
deferral
was
when
we
were
considering
the
updates
to
the
stormwater
manual
and
that
there
was
a
discussion
that
many
of
the
impacts
of
fill
on
flooding
situations
would
be
handled
within
the
stormwater
manual.
So
there
was
a
consideration
to
put
kind
of
the
fill
and
build
ordinance
as
it
was
called
at
the
time
on
deferral.
I
Well,
we
addressed
the
stormwater
manual
to
see
if
that
basically
resolved
the
issues
that
were
raised
in
the
in
the
fill
and
build,
and
I
think
was
left
on
deferral
because
council
had
originally
asked
for
after
we
did
pass
the
stormwater
manual
for
the
stormwater
department
to
come
back
in
early
2021
kind
of
reconvene.
The
stakeholder
task
force
that
we
had
for
the
stormwater
manual
gather
some
information
from
those
task
force.
Members
on
how
the
new
manual
was
working
and
then
kind
of
come
back
through
public
works
utilities
to
discuss.
I
If
any
amendments
were
needed
to
the
to
the
manual,
I
think
that's
kind
of
where
we
left
everything.
So
councilman
warren
may
be
right
that
we
kind
of
may
be
on
a
trajectory
to
take
it
back
through
the
public
works
utilities
committee.
As
part
of
that
discussion
on
the
manual
and
then
see
if
there
still
is
a
reason
to
further
discussion
on
the
film
build
ordinance
that
isn't
covered
by
that
stormwater
manual.
Y
Y
Y
G
I've
never
heard
of
an
item
deferred
for
a
year
and
a
half
waiting
and
waiting
and
waiting
on
some
sort
of
movement
and
and
not
getting
it.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is,
as
council
members,
we
have
a
right
to
bring
legislation
to
this
body
and
vote
on
it
and
there's
just
it
just
seems
to
me
like
there's
been
so
many
hoops,
I
mean
what
does
it
hurt
to
vote
and
if
council
agrees
with
it,
then
we
pass
it
and
if
they
don't,
we
don't
you
know.
I.
G
The
fact
of
the
matter
is,
this
item
was
deferred
because
staff
felt
that
it
should
be
labeled
as
deferred
on
the
agenda.
I
mean
we
could
have
taken
this
motion.
We
could
have
not
labeled
the
item
as
deferred
on
the
agenda
taken
a
vote
as
to
whether
or
not
we
wanted
to
take
the
item
up
and
we
could
have
voted
on
it
tonight.
G
I've
never
heard
of
a
council
member
bring
something
forward
and
be
told
we'll
have
to
vote
on
whether
or
not
council
wants
to
go
for
it
and
then
maybe
you
can
bring
it
up
in
two
weeks.
You
know
that's
just
not
good
governance
and
and
I'm
I'm
really
disappointed
that
that's
the
path
we're
taking,
but
I'm
happy
to
withdraw
this
item
and
we'll
start
from
the
beginning
I'll
I've
spent
several
hours
in
the
past
couple
weeks.
G
Reading
through
the
dutch
dialogue
report,
you
know
that
very
expensive
report
that
we
spent
a
lot
of
money
on
and
we
haven't
implemented
anything
out
of
it.
Yet
I
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
reading
through
it
again
and
I
think
I've
come
up
with
a
very
common
sense
recommendation
through
an
ordinance
that
I've
written
myself
that
I
was
hoping
that
we
could.
We
could
look
at,
but
I'm
happy
to
take
that
motion
through
public
works.
A
AD
G
I
will
bring
the
updated
document
that
I've
been
working
on
and
ask
that
be
placed
on
the
next
public
works
agenda,
so
we
can
start
over
since
it's
been
18
months.
We
took
this
up
the
first
time.
We've
got
a
new
council
now,
so
I
just
don't
think
it's
a
good
idea
for
staff
to
defer
items
for
this
long
and
not
give
us
any
sort
of
update
on
as
to
why
it's
been
deferred
and
just
to
me
it
just
doesn't
look
good
so
happy
to
start
over.
G
A
AE
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
think
councilmember
griffin
brings
up
an
interesting
point
about
revisiting
ordinances,
especially
ones
that
are
related
to
development,
and
I
know
I've
had
conversations
with
several
of
my
council
colleagues
about
charleston's
need
for
a
unified
development
ordinance
that
it
might
be
time
that
we
take
a
fresh
look
at
all
of
our
ordinances
that
are
related
to
development,
especially
ones
that
may
not
have
been
revisited
in
some
of
some
cases
40
years.
So
I
would
just
ask
respectfully
for
the
next
council
meeting.
A
Madam
clerk,
you
got
that
so
duly
noted.
I
I
did
read
with
interest
that
the
town
of
somerville
threw
their
udo
out
just
the
other
day,
so
there
must
be
pros
and
cons
to
it
all
right
any
further
on
this
and
we'll
move
along
to
our
committee
reports,
all
right.
First
up
is
our
committee
on
community
development,
council
member
mitchell.
B
Yes,
michael,
my
report
is
going
to
be
very
short.
The
committee
of
community
development
met
on
january
28th
at
4
p.m,
and
we
had
four
items
listed
and
all
the
items
there
was
for
information.
Only
we
had
a
lot
of
discussions
dealing
with
the
cooperative
bridge
result
redevelopment
and
the
new
tip
allocation.
The
three-year
analysis
on
the
mixed-use
workforce,
housing
and
you'll
see
an
update
on
for
housing
for
farah
charleston
and
the
lower
line
housing
site,
which
we
just
got
through
voting
on
a
few
minutes
ago.
B
F
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
The
committee
on
traffic
and
transportation
met
this
afternoon
at
two
o'clock.
Everything
that
I'm
going
to
report
out
to
is
for
information.
Only
there's
no
need
for
any
vote
of
this
council,
but
we
heard
from
our
team
internally
about
the
status
of
the
build
grant
for
the
assay
river
bridge
bike
pedestrian
lane.
F
F
There
will
be
some
activity
that
you
all
should
see
in
the
next
month
or
so
in
terms
of
milestones
and
benchmarks
that
need
to
be
met
in
the
development
of
that
project,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
environmental
studies,
but
we
are
on
track
and
moving
forward.
Our
team
is
in
place
they're
working
with
the
various
other
agencies
that
have
a
grip
on
that
and
more
to
come.
F
If
you
need
anything,
jason,
kronsberg
and
his
team
have
a
presentation
they're
working
on
a
website-
that's
not
up
and
running
yet,
but
when
it
is
we'll
make
sure
that
you
get
a
link
to
it.
So
you
can
share
it
with
your
constituents
and
they
can
see
in
real
time
what
that
project
is
all
about
and
where
it
stands:
vis-a-vis
design,
construction
and
ultimately,
completion.
F
We
also
had
a
report
from
ron
mitchum,
executive
director,
decog,
also
executive
director
of
carta.
He
gave
a
fairly
comprehensive
view
of
what's
going
on
at
the
cog
card
in
terms
of
transit
and
transportation
in
the
region
to
say,
there's
a
lot
going
on
on
would
be
an
understatement,
but
just
you
all
know,
carter
is
involved
in
many
things:
they're
taking
the
lead
on
the
low
country,
rapid
transit
project.
We
are
looking
at
our
routing.
We've
doubled
the
service
out
on
james
island
on
the
route
31.
F
We
are
doing
covet
testing
at
mary
street
and
in
north
charleston.
So
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
transit
and
transportation.
I'd
like
to
thank
this
council,
and
particularly
those
who
serve
on
the
court
aboard
for
being
supportive
of
all
the
things
that
are
going
on
in
difficult
times,
carter
and
local
transportation
and
public
transportation
has
really
done
well,
if
not
thrived
during
this
time.
The
last
is,
we
talked
about
the
low
battery
seawall
and
parking
policies
going
forward
more
to
come
on
that
it
was
mostly
a
conversation.
F
I
had
some
conversations
with
mr
benjamin
afterwards
and
I
think
we
will
reach
resolution
on
how
we're
going
to
park
along
the
low
battery
seawall
to
make
sure
there's
equal
and
extended
access
for
everybody
in
the
community,
and
there
aren't
those
who
take
advantage
in
terms
of
weeks
and
months
of
that
access,
so
all
coming
along.
Well,
we
also
had
an
update
from
mr
benjamin
about
all
the
things
he's
doing
and
they're
plentiful
and
I'm
sure
he'd
be
happy
to
discuss
them
with
you
individually
at
your
leisure.
F
K
F
A
L
L
L
Thus
far,
stonewall
management
update
the
first
of
the
month
is
a
little
bit
long,
but
councilman
seeking
we're
gonna
come
next
meeting
with
a
presentation
on
what
was
done
on
low
battery
one
phase,
one
and
some
information
on
phase
two,
because
councilman
seeking
knows
that
that
phase
one
has
has
been
a
model
to
duplicate
and
and
it's
finished
it's
very
beautiful.
But
our
committee
saw
a
powerpoint
presentation,
mr
fountain,
on
that
of
which
he's
gonna
refine.
It
show
the
all
of
council.
L
I
L
Y
G
L
A
F
Briefly,
if
I
might
council
member
seeking
something,
I
see
the
picture-
that's
behind
mr
fountain
there,
which
is
the
low
battery.
I
just
think
it's
important
and
we
didn't
mention
it
during
ways
and
means
to
note
that
phase
two
is
within
budget,
as
was
phase
one
and
at
the
charleston
water
system.
Thank
you
very
much,
council
member
waring
and
mayor
teckenberg,
who
sits
on
that
board,
are
picking
up
a
good
bit
of
the
tab
for
that
project
million
dollars
worth,
which
is
not
an
insignificant
amount.
F
So,
as
we
move
forward,
we
are
on
schedule
on
budget
thanks
to
lots
of
hard
work
by
many
people,
including
mr
fountain
and
his
team,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
talk
about
this
project
before
it
started.
I'm
glad
that
the
conversation
has
been
mostly,
if
not
all
positive,
since
we've
gone
forward.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
support
of
what
is
really
a
cool
project
and
if
you
haven't
been
down
there,
I
saw
today
that
really
it's
just
really
brooms
and
pickup
down
on
phase
one.
Now
it's
essentially
done
it's
really
worth
seeing.
F
L
A
A
Future
meetings
we'd
like
to
highlight
one
or
two
projects
and
and
handle
them
a
little
more
in
depthly,
a
little
more
detail
as
opposed
to
when,
when
mr
fountain
goes
through
the
whole
litany
of
projects
you
do
kind
of
get
lost
in
and
so
many
projects
going
on
at
one
time.
I
don't
know
how
he
keeps
track
of
it
going
going
forward
in
the
future,
we'd
like
to
focus
on
one
or
two
and
do
a
little
more
complete
presentation
at
council.
L
I
L
I
You're,
okay,
I
can
I
can.
I
can
adapt
okay
here
we
go.
So
this
is
the
update
we
gave
about
the
west
edge
drainage,
giving
a
little
bit
of
explanation
of
what's
happening,
happening
sort
of
in
the
the
overall
area
surrounding
the
west
edge
development
and
tiff
district
horizon
horizon
tif
district
as
we
move
forward
over
the
next
few
years.
So
on
the
this
is
a
graphic.
That's
frequently
been
presented
by
the
west
edge
foundation.
It's
a
good
kind
of
overview,
simplified
overview
of
the
site
on
the
left.
I
You
can
see
the
area
of
town
we're
talking
about
the
blue
boundary
that
comes
around
the
outside
is
the
kind
of
the
overall
drainage
basin
that
tries
to
basically
flow
down
through
sort
of
the
drainage
features
of
gaston
creek
and
out
into
the
the
marsh.
It's
a
very
large
area
about
200
acres,
which
obviously
experiences
some
of
the
heaviest
flooding
in
the
city.
I
The
the
green
and
red
arrows,
the
green,
shows,
storm
water
and
the
red
shows
tidal
water,
the
red's
kind
of
buried
beneath
the
storm
water
in
this
in
this
image-
and
I
think
we're
all
familiar
during
high
tide
events.
Obviously
the
tidewater
come
up
kind
of
through
that
greek
feature
and
basically
flood
out
kind
of
the
gas
and
green
which
is
sort
of
this
focal
area
here
in
the
center,
as
well
as
surrounding
streets
during
heavy
rainstorms.
I
You
kind
of
see
the
same
thing
and
then
that
water
basically
also
drains
out
through
the
that
creek
features.
So
the
methodology-
that's
that's,
being
worked
to
improve
the
drainage
situation
and
tidal
flooding
situation.
This
area
is
shown
on
the
right
this,
and
this
gets
slightly
more
complicated,
but
I
think
it
makes
sense
from
the
graphic.
So
basically,
what's
what's
being
done,
is
we're
splitting
this
large
drainage
basin
here
on
the
left
and
remember,
a
drainage
basin
is
basically
anywhere
that
water
falls
within
this
blue
area,
any
rain
that
falls
in
there.
I
It
all
flows
to
the
same
point
down
here
into
the
harbor,
so
on
the
right,
we're
splitting
up
how
the
water
that
falls
on
the
peninsula
in
this
area
drains
out.
So
we're
going
to
split
out.
What's
called
the
president
street
basin
here,
this
124
acre
base
into
the
top
and
that
will
tie
into
the
spring
fishburn
project.
So
there's
a
there's,
a
president
street
tunnel
on
spring
fishburne,
which
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
in
two
weeks,
which
basically
runs
you'll.
I
The
area
that
is
sort
of
the
the
core
of
the
west
edge
development
and
the
shading
here
that
as
you've,
seen
kind
of
the
the
first
phases
go
in
out
there
that
whole
area
becomes
relatively
elevated.
Relatively
it's
probably
an
understatement
for
some
of
the
areas,
if
you
drive
out
there,
you
see
that
it's
it's
way
up
above
existing
ground.
So
what
that
lets
them
do?
Is
they
keep
building
through
through
those
projects?
I
That
was
the
permit
that
west
edge
was
coming
through
asking
for
basically
city
support
on
the
council,
supported
to
help
basically
drain
out
this
whole
area
and
that'll
be
tied
protected.
So
you
won't
see
tidal
inflow
through
that
area.
You'll
only
see
stormwater
outflow
and
that
that
should
provide
significant
improvements
in
the
central
basin.
I
Here
is
you'll,
no
longer
see
the
tidal
flooding
and
you
will
see
a
method
for
storm
water
to
flow
out,
because
they're
able
to
get
more
grade
to
basically
lower
that
elevation
and
get
the
water
out
in
this
section,
the
somewhat
challenging
part
there
is.
It
does
trap
this
kind
of
small
area
here
in
the
what
we
have
labeled
as
the
spring
street
basin
and
that
the
water
can't
it's
it's
too
low
here
for
it
to
get
out
through
fishburne
street
and
it's
too
low
to
come
out
through
the
west
edge
complex.
I
But
it
isn't
connected
directly
into
the
present
street
shaft.
So
part
of
what
the
west
edge
group
is
doing
is
actually
tying
that
basin
into
the
spring
fishburn
deep
tunnel
system,
as
well,
so
they're
installing
additional
street
infrastructure,
basically
pipes
to
bring
that
water
over
to
the
d-panel
system
and
help
that
drain
out.
So
basically,
this
section
of
work
will
go
in
as
the
tunnel
completes
into
phase
four.
I
The
present
street
section
will
go
into
the
tunnel
as
as
it
completes
into
phase
four
and
then
the
the
two
center
sections
here
will
be
basically
handled
during
the
west
edge
development
as
they
build
their
drainage
system
for
their
next
phasing.
On
that
on
that,
so
any
any
questions
on
that,
one
that
one's
relatively
complicated,
even
though
it
looks
like
a
somewhat
simplistic
graphic.
L
I
I
So
it
it's
a
really
challenging
system
to
maintain
and
keep
clean,
and
it's
it's
very
low
lying
a
lot
of
localized
low
areas.
You
do
see
a
lot
of
flooding,
so
we've
been
working
through
with
the
council
members
and
with
some
of
the
residents
cleaning
out
some
of
these
lower
line
areas
that
will
hold
water.
For
often
you
know
a
day
or
two
after
a
major
rainstorm
over
the
last
month
or
the
last
year,
so
the
you
know
run
through
the
projects
very
quickly.
On
these.
I
I
Those
were
basically
sedimented,
almost
completely
solid,
almost
the
entire
length
of
the
of
the
system.
We
were
able
to
remove
all
that
sediment
that
that
system
does
flow
out
both
onto
gordon
to
some
extent,
but
primarily
it
comes
down
to
grove
street
and
flows
out
grove
street,
where
we
had
a
couple
of
years
ago,
basically
reconstructed
and
cleaned
and
basically
restored
some
box
culverts
at
the
end
of
grove
street,
so
that
that
has
helped
some
with
the
drainage
there.
I
I
think
we
still
have
more
to
do
along
that
section
of
the
system
likely
in
this
connection,
from
where
we
did
clean
to
the
previous,
the
extents,
the
previous
cleaning.
But
it's
provided
some
relief,
even
if
not
a
complete
resolution
to
flooding.
We
did
then
work
down
on
president
street
just
south
of
the
park.
I
So
on
president
street,
basically
moving
from
moultrie
to
congress.
This
is
a
kind
of
another
localized
bowl
that
we
were
able
to
clean
out
this
section
of
the
drainage
system
and
reactivate
the
basically
outflow
from
congress
out
to
the
marsh
here.
That
does
seem
to
have
made
some
significant
improvements
on
on
that
low-lying
area
that
was
really
holding
a
significant
amount
of
water.
I
Basically,
cleaned
cleaned
that
section
all
the
way
down
to
spring
street,
down
kind
of
through
seth
mcclark,
with
as
much
traffic
control
as
we
could
get
this.
This
area
will
not
get
resolved
until
the
spring
fishburn
project
comes
online.
I
mean
that's
why
there
is
an
entire
tunnel
that
extends
through
the
system
with
all
of
those
drop
shafts
as
it's
it's
an
incredibly
localized
bowl,
but
we
wanted
to
provide
as
much
flood
relief
as
we
could
in
the
meantime.
Until
that
project
comes
online,
we
then
worked
on
grove
street
at
rutledge.
I
So
this
is
another
area,
the
more
you're
familiar
with
this
portion
of
town.
The
the
parking
lots
here
have
always
held
kind
of
significant
quantities
of
water,
you'll,
see
standing
water
for
days
and
days
after
storm
events,
kind
of
gets
to
be
almost
a
health
hazard
with
the
level
of
standing
water.
We
did
reconstruct
and
find
some
collapse
piping
and
other
problems
along
this
area,
we're
able
to
restore
that
and
clean
the
other
areas
and
it
does
drain
out
relatively
well
now.
I
At
this
point,
let's
see,
we
also
worked
further
down
on
gordon
street
gordon
street's.
Another
area
that
experiences
a
lot
of
flooding
repaired
collapse,
section
of
pipe
near
the
end
of
gordon
street
near
wagner
and
we're
able
to
get
that
flow
reconnected
and
working
as
well
as
some
earlier
work.
We
had
done
on
the
north
south
portion
of
wagner
street.
I
See
moving
north
again,
the
piedmont
and
maple
area
sort
of
another
localized
low
point
within
the
neighborhoods.
It
holds
water.
So
this
one
was
interesting
in
that
we
started
out
at
piedmont
and
maple
and
cleaned
the
obvious
outfall,
which
is
going
up
maple
street
down
hester
street
in
the
way
of
much
of
the
of
charleston
over
on
alberta
and
then
eventually
down
10th
and
then
eventually
out
into
the
marsh
cleaned
that
whole
system
basically
monitored.
It
through
a
storm
event,
really
didn't
see
nearly
the
reduction
in
flooding.
I
We
expected
at
piedmont
and
maple
versus
the
amount
of
work
we
had
done
in
clean.
We
had
done
we
we
did
see
improvements
on
hester
and
alberta,
but
not
much
on
piedmont
and
maple
went
back
kind
of
really
did
some
inventory
work
in
the
area
and
noticed
there's
some
disconnect
in
this
system
that
wasn't
readily
apparent,
and
portions
of
this
intersection
actually
flow
north
along
piedmont,
which
we
cleaned
and
then
cleaned
all
of
peachtree
coming
out
of
the
marsh,
and
that
did
seem
to
provide
some
relief.
I
This
is
against
a
very
low
line,
intersection
it's
about
six
feet
in
elevation
with
the
surrounding
areas,
mostly
being
about
10
feet
in
elevation,
so
it
is.
It
is
a
challenging
area
to
keep
completely
dry,
but
that
did
that
did
provide
some
relief
and
we've
seen
improvement,
at
least
in
the
storm
so
far
this
year.
I
The
last
area
we
went
through
in
in
this
section
of
the
town
sort
of
the
north
enston
san
seussia
area,
here
again
very
high.
This
was
actually
a
very
high
area,
a
little
bit
unusual
to
see
the
amount
of
flooding
we
saw,
so
we
cleaned
einstein
down
san
susy,
all
the
way
out
to
king
street
and
again
that
seems
to
have
relieved
some
of
the
unusual
flooding
that
we're
seeing
in
that
area.
I
think
there
was
an
actual
blockage
that
we
were
able
to
get
out,
root,
intrusions
and
things
and
get
that
restored.
I
One
update
that
I
don't
have
on
this
map
that
we
did
talk
about
the
meeting.
Also,
we've
talked
about
a
couple
previous
meetings
was:
we've
also
worked
our
way
through
about
10
000
linear
feet
of
pipe
cleanings,
almost
two
miles
of
pipe
cleaning
in
the
what
we
call
the
cooper
jackson
area,
which
is
really
the
north,
the
north
portion
of
the
east
side,
basically,
as
part
of
the
work
we're
doing
with
aecom,
to
assess
drainage
in
that
basin.
It's
we
kind
of
were
able
to
combine
some
cleaning.
I
So
about
ten
thousand
feet,
you
get
a
pipe
cleaning
a
little
bit
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
worth
of
drainage,
clean
out
work,
and
we
should
see
some
significant
improvements,
at
least
in
water
drain,
back
out
again
after
storm
events
as
that,
as
that
finishes
up.
So
those
were
the
kind
of
this
section
updates.
Instead
of
the
normal
large
capital
projects,.
I
I
That
is
a
very
low
area,
we're
down
in
five
four
and
five
feet
of
elevation,
so
I
mean
you're
at
an
elevation
where
the
when
we
get
one
of
those
extreme
tides
like
we
had
in
the
fall,
you
almost
have
water
in
the
street
just
from
right,
tidal
impact
so
that
that
one
we've
we've
got,
we
have
cleaned
it.
We've
cleaned
it
a
number
of
times
it's
better,
but
it
is
not
perfect.
That'll,
take
more
work
to
figure
out
an
approach
to
to
try
to
limit
that
that
impact.
I
Yeah,
so
the
president
moultrie
that
that's
a
significant
improvement
we
did.
We
did
find
some
serious
blockages.
Another
dot
got
street.
In
this
situation,
we've
been
trying
to
work
more
collaboratively
collaboratively
with
them
as
well.
In
this
area,
we
did
clean
out
basically
starting
at
moultrie
working
our
way
down
present.
All
the
way
to
congress
found
a
number
of
blockages
in
that
area,
as
well.
Dot
was
going
to
come
back
and
clean
the
inlet
structures,
the
roadside
grate
inlets
after
we
cleaned
the
primary
pipe.
B
Yes,
mr
pumpkin,
I'm
happy
to
see
that
you
all
went.
I
saw
sanders
brothers
over
on
lee
street
and
hannibal
street
nassau
speaking.
He
was
doing
some
work
over
there
cleaning
the
drains
and
stuff
off
them,
but
I
want
to
ask
a
quick
question:
did
they
went
over
by
line
and
hanover?
I
mean
nasa
and
lions
line
street
and
aiken
street?
Do
you
know
if
they
went
that
far
over.
I
B
I
Through
my
files,
but
I've
got
a
map
showing
all
the
streets
that
they
cleaned
and
we
did
get.
We
did
get
basically
and
it's
it's
somewhat
of
an
over
estimation,
because
there's
so
many
pipes
and
streets
in
that
area,
but
we
did
basically
start
at
the
cooper
street
area,
the
kind
of
just
south
of
where
the
james
lewis
jr
would
be
going
and
sorry,
I'm
just
dragging
my
own
screen
here.
I
If
you
can
see
me
drawing
on
my
computer,
so
we
did
basically
start
at
cooper
and
pretty
much
everything
from
cooper
north
up
to
about
john
cena
stewart
we
did
work
through
and
clean,
including
the
the
north
south
running
streets
with
nasa
on
hanover
in
america,
so
that
that
section
is
is
significantly
clean.
We
haven't
yet
finalized
cleaning,
the
very
outfall
section
which
sounds
backwards.
It's
normally
the
opposite
of
the
way
we
do
things
where
we
try
to
clean
from
the
outfall
working
our
way
up.
I
In
this
situation,
we
had
to
clean
from
the
up
upper
end
of
the
base
and
working
your
way
down,
because
you
don't
want
to
basically
blow
the
dirt
into
what
you've
just
cleaned.
So
you
keep
kind
of
working
your
way
through
with
the
existing
blockage
and
plug
in
place
and
you'll
go
back
and
clean
that
at
the
end,
and
which
is
the
part
that
sanders
is
working
on
now.
So
it's
it's
just
about
complete
and
should
result
in
some
significant
improvements.
I
B
Can
see
on
the
corner
of
our
line
and
aiken
is
the
church
there
and
that's
the
blood's
real
bad.
He
can't
even
get
into
that
particular
building,
and
it's
always
it's
coming
from
columbus
street
all
the
way
down
and
that's
aiken
and
line
street
there
and
end
of
the
street
a
little
bit
of
columbus.
I
saw
them
working
over
cooper
street
nassau
street
and
they
did
a
good
job
running
there
all
by
the
public
housing.
B
I
They
had,
they
haven't
gone
quite
that
far
south,
yet
to
get
down
to
line
they
okay,
they
mostly
focused
on
kind
of
the
the
northern
section
of
the
the
basin,
which
is
where
the
most
significant
like
consistent
blockages
were
found.
When
we
did
our
original
assessment,
we
went
through
and
popped
all
the
manholes
in
the
basin
and
tried
to
verify
where
the
blockages
were
there.
I
A
H
Just
want
to
say
thanks
for
your
continued
efforts
with
folks
downtown,
I
know
you're
on
an
email
thread
with
us
and
I
just
want
to
say
thanks.
I
appreciate
you
being
so
responsive
to
the
constituents
and
I
will
say
I've
heard
from
several
over
the
past
month
or
two
about
the
improvements.
Obviously
there's
areas
that
still
need
improving,
but
it's
tangible.
I
mean
they
see
some
of
the
improvements.
So
thank
you.
I
Appreciate
it
yeah,
the
the
crews,
are
working
really
hard.
I
mean
we
we're
down
we're
running
around
around
40
people,
plus
our
contracted
forces,
but
we're
doing
a
lot
of
work
through
the
city,
and
we
appreciate
everybody's
patience,
trying
to
kind
of
let
us
work
through
the
problems
and
see
what
works
and
what
doesn't
work
and
then
get
back
out
there
and
try
to
do
another
round
of
corrections.
Once
we
see
the
storm
event
results
great
councilmember.
A
L
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
matt.
This
is
the
best
comprehensive
report
on
maintenance
and
cleaning
out
pipes
on
the
peninsula
that
I've
seen
since
I've
been
on
council,
and
this
is
I'm
in
my
10th
year,
so
I'm
matt
you
you
and
the
team,
like.
I
don't
have
the
words
to
describe
the
thanks
for
that,
because
whether
you
live
on
the
peninsula
or
not,
that
presentation
shows
you
with
a
the
result
of
our
increase
in
the
stormwater
fee,
the
results
of
of
you
coming
up.
L
Frankly,
you
and
your
team
coming
up
with
smaller
projects
and
having
money
set
aside
for
it
I
mean
two
miles
worth
of
pipes
being
cleaned
on
the
peninsula
is
phenomenal.
I
mean
that's
phenomenal
and
that
fact,
just
kind
of
like
you
know
you
just
kind
of
shot
that
over
over
our
head,
but
just
getting
pipes
working
like
this
supposed
to
work
is
just
so
appreciative
and
that's
why
I
said
we
need
to
get
back
to.
I
Counseling
councilmember,
I
was
gonna,
say
we
you
made
that
recommendation
before
we
did
take
it
seriously.
We
did
actually
go
through
produce
sandwich
boards
kind
of
more
the
elections,
style
signage
and
we
actually
just
got
them
delivered
to
our
office
yesterday,
so
they'll
be
going
out
with
the
field
crews
starting
probably
next
week.
I.
L
AB
AB
AC
AC
It
had
never
flooded
before
and
it
is
not
in
a
flood
zone,
yet
it
flooded
multiple
times
a
year
ever
since
the
outfall
was
cleaned,
it
hasn't
flooded
a
single
time.
Thanks
for
continuing
to
monitor
this
situation,
it
has
made
a
huge
difference
in
quality
of
life.
For
my
family
I
mean
that's
serious
stuff
right
there.
You
know
we
can't
solve
all
the
world's
problems.
We
can't
fix
the
united
states,
health
care
system,
vaccination
roll
out
and
we
can't
solve.
You
know
some
of
the
negative
stuff
in
our
country's
history
that
perpetuates
to
this
day.
AC
AC
If
we
didn't
have
a
storm
water
department
that
was
dedicated
to
this
every
single
day
and
a
storm
water
director
that
was
so
passionate
about
what
he
does
and
is
so
effective
about
getting
the
job
done.
So
just
wanted
to
shed
that
shared.
That
story
with
everyone,
as
as
we
were
going
around
singing
matt's
well
deserved
praises.
A
K
I
just
wanted
to
echo
a
few
comments
that
you
all
have
heard
and
if
you
join
in
on
our
public
works
committee
meetings,
they
are
full
of
what
you
just
heard
tonight
from
from
that
and
what
you
didn't
hear
from
him
tonight
was
the
rest
of
the
city
and
all
the
other
projects
that
he's
working
on
the
department
is
working
on
throughout
west
ashley
and
james
island
in
other
area.
So
it
is.
This
is
just
a
snippet
of
what's
going
on
on
on
the
peninsula
and
it
was
very
impressed
with
the
detail.
K
L
L
If
we
can
put
on
the
public
works
agenda
and
maybe
even
recreation,
to
come
up
with
a
plan
to
make
those
duck
ponds,
they
have
a
duck
pond
up
in
north
charleston
off
of
montague.
I
believe
off
of
the
circle.
It
looks
nothing
like
the
duck
pond
over
in
very
nice
area
and
I
think
our
people,
our
recreation
people
and
maybe
some
of
our
public
works
people.
L
A
combination
of
two
can
make
that
area
safer,
beautify
it
and
obviously
put
a
system
in
it
and
make
it
clean,
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
this.
Mr
champagne
was
very
positive.
He
was
not
negative
and
bringing
forth
and
he's
willing
to
go
to
work.
So
I'm
going
to
reach
out
to
him
and
get
some
of
his
positive
thoughts,
maybe
working
with
the
west
ashley
revitalization
team,
but.
A
A
A
A
C
C
C
We
don't,
I
just
noted
that
on
there
the
applicant
does
not
want
to
proceed
forward
with
it
as
well
as
number
14.
The
applicant
has
requested
withdrawn
withdrawal
of
that
ordinance
as
well,
and
I
also
just
wanted
to
note
for
council
that
the
one
ordinance
that
is
set
to
expire
is
item
15
and
that
is
set
to
expire
march.
The
24th
of
this
year.
A
Y
A
A
Okay,
any
discussion
to
withdraw
number
16
hearing,
none
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
aye,
aye
aye.
You
opposed
the
eyes,
have
it
so
next
up
for
bills
for
first
reading,
we
have
an
ordinance,
create
a
a
board
and
commission
called
the
city
of
charleston
storm
surge
protection
feasibility
advisory
committee.
I
think
you've
read
about
it,
but
it's
basically
to
provide
citizen
information
engagement
regarding
our
corps
of
engineers.
Three
by
three
study.
AB
But
what
stuck
out
to
me
is
that
there
is
no
west
of
the
ashley
representative
there.
I
know
it's
peninsula,
but
as
we
move
forward
with
this
issue,
especially
where
that
water
is
going
to
go,
it
would
be
great
for
someone
from
the
west
ashley
and
when
I
say
westasia,
I'm
including
james
island,
john's
island
and
then,
but
I
just
think
that
there
needs
to
be
somebody
there
and
and
then,
in
addition,
mayor-
and
I
know,
we
haven't,
as
a
council
really
deal
with
the
issue
yet
in
terms
of
equity.
AB
I
just
think
somehow
that
has
to
be
into
intertwined
in
here,
especially
when
we
deal
with
the
environmental
issues.
We
are
going
to
do
an
environmental
assessment
that
somehow
we
fold
in
looking
at
everything
we
do
mayor.
You
know
through
an
equity
lens,
and
it
would
be
great
again
for
us
to
at
least
have
some
sense
of
equitably.
AB
How
will
this
affect
different
areas
of
the
city,
particularly
those
areas
that
are
lower
income
are
minority,
and
I
just
think
that
somehow
we
need
to
start
pushing
that
into
the
discussion,
knowing
that,
when
we're
dealing
with
federal
agencies,
there
are
always
non-discrimination,
provisions,
title
vi,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
but
a
lot
of
times
that
gets
lost
in
the
mix,
and
so
somehow
I
just
want
to.
I
want
to
try
to
get
us
to
start.
AB
AB
A
So
so
thank
you
and
I
certainly
will
keep
that
in
mind
when
I
make
recommendations
to
the
next
meeting
as
to
actual
membership.
I
had
intended
to
include
a
council
member
from
west
ashley
and
and
honestly
that
was
the
intent
of
number
nine
on
the
on
the
committee,
a
member
from
the
social
justice
community,
so
we
were
certainly
trying
to
be
inclusive,
okay
del
chapo,
I
think
I
had
seen
next
jackson
and
then
griffin
del
chapo.
T
T
A
A
Y
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
I
I
I
also
have
my
reservations
about
the
assisting
with
the
with
the
solicitation
of
private
funds.
I
mean,
maybe
maybe
that
would
be
appropriate
once
the
committee
has,
you,
know,
sort
of
gelled
and
and
really
done
the
major
part
of
their
work,
which
is
to
help
us
make
sure
that
we're
you
know
designing
and
desiring
a
sea
wall
that
works
for
the
citizens
and
the
community.
Y
So
I
I
I
would
leave
that
open.
I
mean
I
I'm
happy
to
vote
first
reading
with
that
language
in
there,
but
I
do
think
that
we
should
be.
You
know
really
drilling
down
on
to
how
much
of
a
credential
you
would
have
in
terms
of
an
eligible
member
that
you
would
like
to
appoint,
and
I
I
also
think
that
it,
I
feel
very
strongly
that
you
need
to
have
someone
from
west
of
the
ashley.
Y
Y
I
I
I'm
sure
that
the
bigness
of
the
the
the
membership
can
be
managed
by
having
working
groups
and
task
force.
You
know
assignments
and
things.
We've
we've
managed
to
do
that
very
successfully
with
the
james
island,
creek,
water
quality
task
force.
We
added
a
lot
of
members
that
I
think
are
now
strategic
and
it's
a
big
number,
but
we've
divided
into
very
strategically
placed
working
groups
and
I
think
that's
a
great
system.
So
I'm
not
too
worried
about
17
members.
At
this
point.
G
I
don't
and-
and
I
know
that
this
this
commission
or
committee
is
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
that
issue
and
I
think
it's
a
waste
of
resources
and
I
think
we
should
be
investing
those
resources
looking
at
other
projects,
and
so
for
those
reasons,
I'm
just
I'm
inclined
to
vote
no
on
this.
I
don't
want
to
give
anybody
the
perception
that
I'm
supportive
of
the
seawall
project,
because
I'm
not.
F
You,
mr
mayor,
before
I
make
my
comments.
I
just
want
to
say
I
I
totally
agree
with
having
citizen
input
and
communication
about
what
is
sure
to
be
if
it
goes
forward
today,
tomorrow
or
some
day
somewhere
down
the
road,
the
largest
public
works
project
we've
ever
had
in
the
history
of
charleston
and
it's
an
important
project
and
it's
also
important
issue.
F
F
City
of
charleston
peninsula,
coastal
flood
risk
management,
study,
citizen
and
business
advisory
committee,
so
I
think
we
need
to
all
be
on
the
same
page
as
to
exactly
what
we're
talking
about.
The
actual
ordinance
is
much
broader
than
what
is
published
in
our
agenda
that
it's
going
to
look
at
both
the
storm
surge,
the
army,
3.3
study
and
other
issues
that
are
out
there,
in
fact,
that
specifically
references
in
the
ordinance
that
it'll
be
looking
at
storms,
storm
surge
protection
and
flooding
from
all
causes.
F
What
is
most
immediate
clearly,
is
the
army
corps
3x3
project
which
we
as
a
council
are
going
to
have
to
take
up
in
terms
of
our
support
and
funding
in
this
year
this
calendar
year.
I
100
agree
with
the
comments
made
by
council
member
del
chapo
and
others
that
this
commission
is
too
big.
It
needs
to
be
much
more
focused
and
smaller
and
manageable.
It
needs
to
be
nimble.
F
If
this
is
going
to
be
a
group,
that's
going
to
look
broadly
at
the
issue
of
flooding.
Clearly,
there's
an
entire
city's
worth
of
things
to
look
at
so
I
I
would
encourage
us
collectively
and
mr
mayor
for
you
to
look
at
the
makeup
of
this
commission
and
help
pare
it
down
a
little
bit,
make
it
more
nimble
and,
let's
all
make
sure
we
know
what
we're
voting
on
and
what
the
objective
of
this
commission
is
because,
as
drafted,
it's
not
as
published
in
our
agenda.
F
K
B
Yes,
yeah,
mr
mayor,
I
understand
what
all
my
colleagues
are
saying
and
it's
going
to
be
a
big
impact,
very
impact.
If
it
ever
happens-
and
I
don't
know
if
it
would
ever
happen
to
most
of
the
area
that
I
represent
right
now
with
the
wall
coming
all
the
way
from
the
east
side
going
all
the
way
up
to
probably
almost
close
to
bridgeview.
B
This
wasting
time
to
me
and
that's
just
my
opinion
on
it,
but
you
need
to
have
some
people
across
reference
of
people
from
that
particular
area,
which
is
the
east
side
from
downtown
from
west
ashley
with
james
island,
whatever
the
case
may
be,
but
you
need
to
get
key
people.
I
believe
that's
really
interested
in
knowing
what
they're
getting
into
and
knowing
what
they're.
B
So
this
is,
if
you're
thinking
very
seriously
about
this,
because
there's
gonna
be
a
lot
of
money
they're
talking
about,
and
we
need
to
get
this
going
as
soon
as
possible,
and
I
don't
care
what
how
many
people
you're
gonna
have
on
it,
but
need
to
have
key
people
from
the
community
who
was
ready
and
willing
to
sit
down
and
give
good
good
good
input
of
what
we
are
looking
for.
You
know
because
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
long,
drawn-out
thing
and
I
don't
think
none
of
us
would
constantly
be
around
anyway.
A
Well,
I
appreciate
everyone's
input
and
serious
thought
I
I
do
want
to
share
that.
There
are
a
number
of
of
folks
that
have
already
reached
out
who
are
very
interested
in
being
engaged
and
being
a
part
of
this.
You
know
I
do
want
to
make
clear,
councilmember
seekings,
that
this
I
mean,
but
for
the
army
corps
of
engineers,
three
by
three
study.
We
would
not
be
coming
forward
with
this
group.
That's
clear!
So
I
know
it's
it's
it's
it's
basically
limited
to
the
peninsula.
A
We
have
other
groups
that
study
other
areas.
We've
got
a
church,
creek
area
now
committee
authority
going,
but
but
this
this
committee
is,
is
intended
to
be
engaged
and
follow
the
recommendations
of
the
army
corps
three
by
three
and
we
have
as
a
council.
You
know
a
workshop
plan,
for
I
think
it's
later
this
month
to
really
dig
into
detail
of
what,
where
we
stand
on
it
right
now
and-
and
I
hear
you
about
the
number
it
could
be
unwieldy.
A
A
So
I
added
them
in
there.
So
I'll
certainly
reflect
on
it
and
see
what
names
I
come
up
with
before
I
come
back
to
you,
we
don't
have
to
fill
them
all
right
away.
That's
for
sure,
if,
if
we
don't
have
people
that
aren't
committed
to
to
really
following
this
and
being
engaged
in
it
council,
member
seeking
I'll
come
back
to
you.
F
Just
very
briefly,
thank
you
for
your
comments,
mr
mayor.
What
I
might
suggest
is
just
to
clean
up
if,
in
fact,
this
really
is
a
focus,
especially
in
the
short
term,
on
the
three
by
three
study,
I
think
the
ordinance
should
should
really
reflect
that,
and
it
does.
It
is
much
broader
than
that,
as
currently
drafted,
it
talks
about
storm
surge
protection
and
flooding
from
all
causes.
If
we're
looking
at
at
this
issue,
the
three
by
three
study-
let's
just
put
it
out
there,
that's
what
we're
doing.
F
A
Well,
we'll
try
to
make
it
clearer.
Jamie
wharton
helped
write
it
up
and
mark
I
mean
it
does
say:
the
army
corps
of
engineers,
peninsula
coastal
flood
risk
management
study.
That's
the
three
by
three
study.
It
refers
to
the
national
economic
development
study,
which
is
a
part
of
that
three
by
three.
The
pad.
The
preliminary
engineering
engineering
design
is
also
specifically
part
of
the
core
three
by
three
plan,
as
it's
been
outlined
to
us.
A
Y
Y
Y
You
know
request
that
we
make
sure
that
we
have
a
representative
from
what
I
would
call
the
environmental
justice
community
and
then
I
I
noticed
that
there's
a
term
in
there,
the
social
justice
community,
so
is
that
the
same
thing?
Can
we
just
call
it
the
environmental
justice
community
and
make
sure
we've
got
a
representative
from
the
african-american
neighborhoods,
who
you
know
whether
they're
included
in
the
inside
the
wall
or
outside
the
wall?
Y
Y
A
L
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
Listen,
I
agree
with
councilwoman
del
chapo
seeking
on
the
sides
of
this
committee.
I
I
think
it
needs
to
be
skilled
and
I
do
agree.
We
need
to
keep
it
within
the
three,
but
within
the
core
study
we
probably
have
the
best
climate
or
the
best
communication
on
council
now
when
it
comes
to
addressing
flooding
problems
from
one
end
of
this
city
to
the
other-
and
I
do
not
want
to
interrupt
that
or
affect
that
in
a
negative
way.
L
L
We
committed
stonewater
dollars
for
five
years.
I
think
it
was
before
we
got
that
money
from
the
state
which
meant
there
were
not
going
to
be
virtually
any
major
projects
west
of
the
peninsula,
wes
ashley,
james
island
and
john's
out.
Thank
god.
You
know
we
all
put
together
the
governor
and
the
people
in
colombia
saw
fit
to
do
that.
Grant
now
these
projects
are
back
on
again.
L
In
large
part,
it's
been
since
1984,
since
the
people
wes
ashley
james
allen
and
john's
island,
has
been
looking
for
flooding
solutions
in
their
areas
of
the
city,
and
that
constitutes
no
doubt
the
largest
populated
areas
considered
to
me
in
this
town.
The
last
thing
I
want
to
go
to
is
back
to
a
parochial
fight
prior
to
where
we
are
now.
If
you
looked
at
the
spending
for
flooding
fixes,
it
was
heavily
skewed
on
the
peninsula
for
obvious
reasons,
but
it
occurred
to
the
peril
of
wes
ashley
james
allen
and
john
john.
L
I
mean
virtually
you
go
back
and
look
at
the
dollars
that
were
spent.
It
was
horrendous.
It
was
almost
like
hospitality
and
sales
tax
dollars
always
were
spent
on
the
peninsula,
and
the
thought
was
no.
Tourists
come
wes
ashley
james
allen,
johnson.
Well,
that's
not
the
case
anymore
and
those
dollars
are
not,
I
still
would
say,
not
fairly
spent,
but
we
do
begin.
L
We
can
take
one
major
project
on
the
peninsula
and
and
we
can
fix,
we
can
take
those
dollars
and
fix
everything,
wes
ashley,
jane
john
and
john
john.
So
the
last
thing
I
want
to
do
is
get
into
a
tiff.
If
you
will,
with
a
committee,
that's
empowered
for
the
peninsula,
that's
injecting
politics
among
the
13
people
right
now
that
I
think,
have
great
synergy
in
addressing
problems
city-wide.
L
L
We
have
to
go
back
and
tell
our
citizens.
You
guys
got
to
wait
until
2024
or
whatever
whatever
it
was.
It
hurts
to
do
that.
It
feels
like
you're.
Failing
your
people
to
do
that,
so
we
are
now
have
been
given
a
second
chance,
so
I
think
this
piece
about.
I
know
we
kind
of
dancing
around,
but
the
piece
about
building
the
wall.
I
think
we
need
to
have
an
up
or
down
vote
on
that
on
council.
L
I've
seen
accounts
in
the
newspaper
where
our
match
is
going
to
be
in
excess
of
600
million
dollars.
I
dare
say
if
our
lives
depended
on
it
right
now
on
13
of
our
lives,
where
we
gonna
get
that
money
from
or
we
would
have
to
die,
they
have
to
kill
all
13
of
them.
We
don't
know
where
that
money's
going
so
we're
beginning
to
put
a
lot
of
staff.
Time
now
volunteer
time
into
this,
and
I
think
it's
it's
only
fair.
L
L
L
L
Craft
a
negative
synergy
in
what's
being
accomplished,
city-wide
right
now,
so
you
know
I
have
a
some
intimidation
about
that.
I'm
fine
with
the
group
going
forward,
but
that
group
needs
to
be
brought
up
to
speed
not
only
on
the
peninsula,
but
projects
that
are
now
being
addressed.
City-Wide
and
the
complications
were
stopping
our
future
projects,
that's
being
nationwide.
When
we
refinanced
a
bond
the
other
day,
we
saved
5
million
in
interest.
L
Almost
that
came
from
the
floor,
I
mean
that's
great
synergies
approaching
our
problems.
The
battery
low
high
wall
phase,
one
phase,
two
unanimous
votes
all
the
way
and
we're
all
proud
of
what
we're
doing
so.
I
don't
want
to
offset
that
apple
card,
and
I
just
thought
a
word
of
caution
on
that
one.
So
I
think
now
in
the
scope
will
do
that,
given
the
feel
that
a
broad
spectrum-
I
think
last
thing
I
want
to
do-
is
get
in
a
tug
of
war
and
get
in
a
circle
and
start
shooting
at
one.
A
Well,
councilmember
warren.
I
appreciate
those
words
of
wisdom
and
caution
and
once
again
I
just
say
we
wouldn't
even
be
forming
this,
if
not
in
the
need
for
engagement
and
input
to
to
the
core
three
by
three
study
which
they
picked
the
area
you
know
to
to
conduct
this
surge
protection
study
and-
and
in
addition
to
that,
we
hope
that
they
will
also
be
taking
a
look
at
the
drainage
aspects
within
the
area
which
complements
the
whole
study.
A
A
That's
that'll
be
up
to
council,
but
I
I
I
feel
it's
our
responsibility
to
give
it
the
best
shot,
shot
at
analysis
and
determination,
whether
this
is
good
for
our
city,
long
term
or
not,
and
let
the
chips
fall
where
they
will
once
we
do.
That
and
and
part
of
this
has
been
the
the
desire
of
our
citizens
to
to
have
more
input
and
engagement
on
this
process,
and
that's
what
this
is
all
about.
A
So
I
I've
been
listening
I'll
make
some
some
modifications
when
I
come
back
to
you
at
the
next
meeting,
but
I
appreciate
getting
first
reading
on
this
and
it
won't
be
long
it'll
it'll
help.
I
I
think
it's
all
focused
on
it
when
we
have
the
workshop
meeting
on
this
topic.
When
is
that
going
to
be
a
madam
clerk?
I
think
it
just
next
thursday.
A
Oh
it's
next
thursday,
so
that'll
be
very
timely.
We'll
we'll
have
that
workshop
meeting
before
we
come
back
and
have
second
and
third
reading
and
recommendations
on
this
committee,
and
I
I
I
think,
that'll
help
everyone's
overall
perspective
on
it
all
right.
Any
further
comments,
if
not
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye.
L
D
L
L
It
was
estimated
that
that's
going
to
cost
20
or
25
million
dollars.
Part
of
the
subject
was
shovel
ready
projects
versus
projects
that
aren't
shovel
ready,
but
the
reason
we
are
fixing
the
low
battery
wall
today
is
because
we
have
been
putting
money
aside.
For
me,
this
is
my
10th
year
on
council
and
every
year
I've
been
on
council.
I
voted
for
monies
for
the
battery
wall.
It
has
not
been
a
year
that
we
I
have
not,
and
it
those
votes
have
been
unanimous
about
it.
So.
A
But
I
would
respectfully
say
that,
as
councilmember
mitchell
mentioned
when
he
gave
his
report,
he
did
expect
those
three
matters
to
come
back
to
community
development
committee.
First
before
coming
to
council
and
just
respecting
that
that
protocol,
you
know,
if
that's
all
right
with
you,
it
would
come
back
to
the
next
community
development
committee
and
then
get
reported
back
to
council.
L
I
think
we
should
have
an
up
and
down
vote,
and
maybe
these
instructions
should
go
to
community
development,
so
when
staff
comes
back
with
a
print
spending
priority,
that's
not
aligned
with
drainage,
affordable
housing
and
down
the
line
after
that.
That
message
needs
to
go
out
not
only
to
the
community
development.
That
message
needs
to
go
out
to
our
staff,
because
our
staff
needs
to
know
what
is
the
spending
priority
on
this
dollar?
L
Now
we
need
to
do
the
things
below
the
surface
with,
so
I
just
want
to
put
that
on
the
agenda
that
information
certainly
can
be
on
the
gender
when
community
development
comes
back,
but
for
staff
to
tell
to
flip
the
script
and
come
up
with
a
spending
priority,
that's
less
than
certainly
what
our
citizens
are
asking
us
for.
I
think
we
need
to
have
up
and
down
for
the
majority
of
the
council
wants
to
spend
in
a
different
direction.
L
L
A
L
Let
me
let
me
go
further.
The
last
time
we
did
that
legal
staff
hired
without
counsel's
input
and
attorney
out
of
colombia.
What
attorneys
are
to
be
hired
should
be
approved
by
city
council,
not
by
our
legal
department.
Now,
in
my
opinion,
that
was
a
mistake.
The
last
time
we
had
no
input
on
that
we
had
no
input
on
the
cost.
We
were
told
who
the
attorney
would
be
and
we
were
told
what
that
cost
would
be,
and
certainly
we
bought
a
brunt
of
it.
L
A
L
A
AD
Address
this
only
to
mention
that
council
did
direct
us
to
take
certain
action
after
the
last
executive
session.
We
have
done
that
and
I
was
planning
on
having
an
executive
session
at
the
next
real
estate
committee
meeting
to
advise
counsel,
the
real
estate
committee
and
then
council,
on
where
we
are
on
this
matter,
and
I
mean
certainly
certainly
councilmember
waring.
You
can.
AD
F
Member
seeking
just
very
briefly,
mr
deena,
if
we're
going
to
do
that,
I
mean
it's
great-
that
it
comes
to
the
committee,
but
this
is
obviously
going
to
be
something
that's
for
full
council.
Do
you
really
need
to
have
an
executive
session
at
real
estate
and
then
at
council?
We
should
just
all
hear
this
at
one
time
together.
I
think
this
is
the
one
time
council,
member
gregory,
that
I
would
say
we
probably
ought
to
just
bypass
real
estate
and
just
come
straight
to
city
council
and,
let's
take
it
up
together.
