Happy
to
I
want
to
do
a
prayer
tonight
from
it's
actually
lord
jacob
astley,
who
was
a
royalist
commander
during
the
first
english
civil
war
when
the
crown
opposed
parliament
and
it's
from
the
1642
battle
of
edge
hill
and
the
prayers
become
famous
and
my
mom
actually
had
this
thing,
calligraphy
framed
in
our
house,
and
it
always
stuck
with
me
for
in
kind
of
divided
and
trying
times.
So
if
you
bow
your
head,
his
prayer
was
lord
thou
knowest.
How
busy
I
must
be
this
day.
A
A
Now
I've
got
this
proclamation
it's
to
observe
a
week
of
remembrance
and
memory
of
the
victims,
survivors,
rescuers
and
liberators
of
the
holocaust,
and
rather
than
read
this
entire
document
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
anita
zucker
and
samantha
krantz,
as
they
would
like
to
share
some
some
thoughts,
memories
and
the
importance
of
this
observance,
not
only
in
our
city
but
in
the
world.
Anita.
H
H
They
were
beaten,
they
were
starved,
they
were
forced
to
do
labor,
yet
somehow
they
survived,
they
spent
years
hiding
in
the
forest,
and
it's
a
miracle
that
I'm
here
with
you
today,
because
somehow
they
survived
and
I'm
very
lucky
and
we
today
are
remembering
the
six
million
and
the
liberators
and
those
others
who
died
during
that
time.
And
but
I
would
like
you
to
know
that
I
hope
you
will
celebrate
this
this
memory
in
time,
and
I
hope
we
won't
ever
have
to
deal
with
things
like
this
again
in
our
lives.
H
H
H
H
H
A
K
Thank
you
mayor
anita,
said
everything
perfectly,
and
we
just
thank
you
and
the
city
for
everything
you
do
to
honor
and
remember
the
people
that
were
perished
in
the
holocaust.
All
you
do
for
our
holocaust
survivors
in
our
memorial
downtown.
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
again
for
setting
this
week
aside
to
really
remember
the
holocaust.
We
appreciate
all
of
you
thank.
A
A
F
H
So
if
you
go
to
remember
at
charleston
jewishcharleston.org,
you
can
go
in
and
ask
for
the
link
and
you'll
be
able
to
get
online
to
join
us
for
our
our
virtual
remembrance,
but
also
it
will
be
on
facebook
live
under
the
charleston
jewish
federation.
Thank
you,
peter
shane
appreciate
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
So
next
on
our
agenda
is
another
proclamation,
as
we
do
every
year,
rematch
recognizing
our
incredible
partner
in
the
american
red
cross.
They
help
our
community
in
so
many
ways,
and
some
folks
don't
realize
this.
But
whenever
there's
a
fire
for
example,
and
a
family
is
displaced,
the
red
cross
is
always
there
stepping
up
helping
our
citizens
in
their
time
of
need.
L
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
council
members
and,
of
course,
mayor,
checklenburg
and
and
some
of
his
staff
members
who
I
work
closely
with
throughout
the
year
richard
giroux
and
mike
wack,
the
entire
team
at
the
city
of
charleston.
You
guys
are
always
supporting
our
life-saving
work
and
it's
it's
awesome.
L
One
year
ago
I
joined
this
exact
council
meeting
for
the
red
cross
month,
proclamation
in
person,
and
little
did.
I
know
that
the
world
would
change
drastically
within
just
a
few
days
after
meeting
you
mayor,
teklenberg
and
many
of
the
other
ones
on
this
call
for
the
very
first
time.
But
the
thing
that
has
stayed
the
same
over
this
last
very
unique
year
is
the
mission
of
the
red
cross,
no
matter
what
happens
outside
of
our
organization.
L
M
Hi
hi,
mr
mayor
good,
to
see
you
and
council
members
too,
and
thank
you,
ashley
and
also,
I
should
say
thank
you
anita,
because
anita
is
also
a
major
contributor
to
the
red
cross
force.
So,
yes,
you
know
the
life-saving
donations
of
blood
is
one
of
the
most
crucial
things
we
work
with.
We
supply
blood
to
over
30
hospitals
in
the
south
carolina
region
and
that's
only
possible
with
the
help
of
donors
and
community
partners.
M
Partners
in
the
city
host
blood
drives
on
a
regular
basis,
so
you
have
four
times
a
year,
and
I
know
that
mayor
teclamber
often
rolls
up
the
sleeves
and
donates
blood.
It's
such
a
precious
gift
and
we
are
so
dependent
on
it.
We
are
very
grateful
for
the
partnership
we
have
with
the
city
of
charleston
and
we
look
forward
to
continue
this
prop
this
partnership
in
a
professional
and
excellent
manner
that
we've
been
having
up
to
now
and
you
have
helped
us
collect
140
pints
of
life-saving
blood
this
year.
M
A
Absolutely
thank
you
katarina
for
what
you
do
as
well,
and
we
we
in,
in
addition
to
all
of
our
other
partnerships,
we
have
blood,
drives
regularly
at
the
city
of
charleston.
I
welcome
our
council
members
to
participate,
it's
given
the
gift
of
life
and,
and
we
we're
just
so
happy
to
be,
have
your
support
and
partnership
when
things
are
needed
in
our
community.
Thank
you,
ashley.
Thank
you.
Katarina.
O
A
He
is
here
to
make
some
some
comments
on
our
coven
19
update,
but
he
has
some
commitments
this
evening,
so
we
won't
take
the
full
discussion
if
that's
okay,
the
pleasure
council,
but
just
allow
dr
swett
to
make
his
comments
to
us,
update
from
the
medical
university
regarding
covet
19
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
our
public
participation
period.
Is
that,
okay
with
everybody
all
right
without
objection,
dr
swett,
are
you
out
there
would
love
to
hear
from
him
here?
Yes,.
P
P
P
So
it's
been
quite
a
year
and
I
think
we've
learned
a
lot
and
we're
probably
getting
to
a
point
where
we
have
some
optimism,
so
I
do
want
to
share
with
you
our
status
and
where
we're
headed.
I
think
this
is
for
the
tri-county
area,
the
charleston
area,
just
some
of
our
indicators
that
we've
been
tracking
and
the
cases
per
day
per
hundred
thousand
population.
P
That's
the
seven
day
average,
looking
over
time,
21
cases
per
day
per
100
000
and
it's
been
declining
substantially.
The
test
positivity
is
about
6.3
another
important
indicator.
We
really
normally
like
to
see
that
number
go
below
five
and
has
been
going
up
and
down
a
bit.
The
medical
capacity
has
improved
substantially.
P
A
A
Q
P
Yeah,
so
just
moving
back
to
this
graphic,
we
the
reproductive
number,
which
is
the
number
of
people,
each
person
in
fact,
has
dropped
below
one,
which
is
a
good
sign.
If
that
goes
down
much
lower,
we'll
start
to
see
significant
declines.
If
you
can
get
that
close
to
zero,
this
epidemic
would
disappear.
P
I'm
going
to
talk
in
a
second
about
variants,
but
we
are
seeing
a
significant
number
of
variants
popping
up
in
the
in
the
area
and,
unfortunately,
the
most
common
variant
that's
being
detected.
Is
this
south
african
variant
and
I'll
come
back
to
this
in
a
minute
and
talk
about
the
implications
of
that
and
currently,
as
of
the
most
recent
report,
I've
seen
21
of
the
population
in
the
tri-county
area
have
been
vaccinated.
P
This
is
just
a
graph
showing
the
trend
we've
seen
over
the
past
since
the
summer.
Really
here
we
have
our
summer
wave
that
occurred,
and
here
was
our
wave
that
occurred
over
the
holiday
period
and
after
and
there's
just
a
couple
of
points
I
want
to
make.
It
is
great
news
that
this
is
declining
so
rapidly
we're
down
to
21
cases
per
day.
P
The
vaccination
rate
in
the
county
is
around
25
and
about
15
of
people
have
had
an
infection
estimated
to
have
an
infection
over
the
past
three
months.
So
we're
at
about
40
percent
of
people
with
immunity,
meaning
about
60
percent
of
people,
are
still
potentially
vulnerable
to
becoming
infected,
and
the
question
that
comes
up
a
lot
is:
when
would
we
reach
herd
immunity?
P
So
her
immunity
is
really
when
there's
enough
immunity
in
the
community
that
the
virus
doesn't
have
many
opportunities
to
transmit
and
it'll
lead
to
a
rapid
decline.
We're
not
there
yet,
and
it's
not
clear
exactly
what
level
of
immunity
we
need
to
see
to
achieve
herd
immunity,
it's
likely
somewhere
between
60
percent
90
percent,
the
more
transmissible
viruses
the
more
it's
easy
to
transmit
the
higher
it
takes
in
terms
of
immunity,
the
larger
you
need
more
immunity
to
suppress
and
reach
hurt
immunity,
so
we
don't
quite
know,
but
we
are
moving
in
the
right
direction.
P
I
did
want
to
touch
on
the
variance
it's
a
quite
a
concern
in
the
community.
People
were
examining
this.
These
are
just
mutations
that
have
occurred
in
the
virus.
They
happen
naturally,
but
they
increase
in
frequency
when
there's
a
lot
of
transmission.
So
we've
really
seen
these
coming
out
of
locations
like
south
africa
and
brazil.
P
Also,
the
los
angeles
area
and
new
york
as
well,
where
there's
a
lot
of
transmission
going
on
so
to
reduce,
we
need
to
reduce
transmission,
to
slow,
getting
new
variants
and
the
problem
with
these
variants
are
they
have
several
problems?
One
is
they
transmit
much
more
easily
and
it's
not
exactly
clear
the
number,
but
two
to
three
times
more
easily
is
what
frequently
is
cited
and
every
one
of
these
variants
transmits
more
easily.
P
People
might
be
able
to
get
reinfected
with
the
new
variants
if
they've
had
the
old
one
earlier
and
treatments
such
as
monoclonal
antibodies
are,
in
some
cases,
are
not
effective
with
variants,
and
the
south
african
variant
is
particularly
of
concern.
This
particular
mutation
in
that
variant,
that
is
of
great
concern
and
the
brazilian
variant
as
well,
is
of
concern.
P
P
This
is
the
what
was
shown
up
in
south
carolina,
the
uk
variant.
The
cdc
is
reporting
13
and
dhec
is
reporting
slightly
less,
but
you
can
see
it's
13
cases
for
the
uk
and
for
the
south
african
variant.
There
have
been
32
cases
out
of
the
small
sample
that
they've
sequenced,
predominantly
in
the
pd
area,
florence
myrtle
beach,
that
area
and
also
some
in
the
low
country.
P
This
has
been
going
up
over
the
past
couple
of
weeks,
so
this
has
increased
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
one
point
that
if
you
look
at
the
cdc
data
about
the
national
distribution
of
variants,
south
carolina
has
over
40
percent
of
the
reported
variance
of
the
south
african
version.
So
that's
a
big
concern.
P
P
P
I
do
believe
that,
because
the
vaccination
efforts
have
been
targeted
towards
older
population
who
have
worse
health
outcomes,
we're
likely
to
see
less
impact
on
hospitalizations
and
immortality
and
we're
definitely
seeing
rapidly
declining
people
being
hospitalized
currently,
but
many
older
people
also
did
not
get
vaccinated,
so
there
are
still
a
substantial
number
of
people
who
haven't
been
vaccinated
to
date,
who
are
in
older
age
groups,
and
I
would
point
out
too
that,
because
young
people
get
infected
is
it
is
a
bad
thing.
It
causes
a
lot
of
damage
about.
P
10
of
people
suffer
from
long-term
code
problems.
There's
a
lot
of
attention
being
given
to
that
and
about
30
percent
of
those
people
who
have
long
covert
report.
They
never
had
symptoms
or
had
mild
symptoms.
So
we
really,
you
can't
neglect
the
impact
of
transmission
and
infection
among
younger
people
as
well.
I
mentioned
the
viral
mutations.
It's
something
that
we
really
have
to
keep
our
eye
on
and
it,
I
think,
reinforces
our
need
to
keep
our
vigilance
up.
There's
a
lot
of
fatigue.
Patience
is
low,
but
we're
getting
closer
to
normalization.
P
A
little
bit
longer,
I
believe,
with
mass
use
and
distancing,
particularly
with
these
variants
on
the
scene,
also
there's
a
lot
of
what
I
would
refer
to
as
risk
compensation,
but
people
are
now
becoming
very
optimistic
and
they
should
be
because
we
have
vaccines
and
the
case
rates
are
coming
down,
but
that
can
lead
to
increased
risk
behavior
in
terms
of
not
wearing
mask
and
gathering.
So
it's
another
concern
and
there's
a
lot
of
challenges
to
moving
forward
with
vaccination.
We
need
to
make
it
easier.
We
need
greater
supply
to
do
that.
P
P
Some
of
the
groups
such
as
african-americans,
who
have
the
worst
they've,
had
the
highest
rates.
The
worst
health
outcomes
are
also
having
lower
rates
of
vaccination.
So
I
know
a
lot
of
attention
is
being
given
to
that.
But
these
are
challenges
going
forward
and
then
I
just
want
to
end
on
some
optimism.
It
is
remarkable
that
we
have
these
vaccines
most
historically,
it's
taken
over
10
years
to
develop
a
vaccine.
The
fastest
has
ever
been
developed
is
four
years
so
getting
a
vaccine.
These
vaccines
within
one
year
is
a
remarkable
feat
of
science.
P
The
supply
is
increasing.
I
do
believe
we're
based
on
all
the
reports
that
I've
seen
we're
going
to
see
steady
increases
in
supply,
and
they
do
right
now
appear
to
be
effective
against
the
current
variants
that
are
out
there.
So
that's
also
good
news
that
could
change
if
we
saw
substantially
more
mutation
in
the
virus,
but
to
date
the
current
vaccines
are
do
appear
to
be
effective
and
there's
still
studies
going
on
on
that
and
and
also
our
ability
to
adapt.
P
These
vaccines
to
mutations
is
really
excellent,
in
particular
with
the
the
mrna
vaccines
of
pfizer
and
the
moderna.
It's
very
easy
to
rapidly
change
the
formula
for
the
vaccine
and
now
the
production's
up.
I
think
we,
if
we
can
keep
on
top
of
the
the
genetics
we
can
keep
these
vaccines.
You
know
active.
It
may
mean
that
we're
going
to
probably
will
mean
we're
going
to
need
to
have
booster
shots
in
the
future.
Might
look
a
lot
like
an
annual
flu
vaccine
in
crete.
P
There's
a
lot
more
capacity
coming
online
to
detect
these
variants.
Global
surveillance
is
increasing
to
look
for
new
coronaviruses
that
might
come.
This
is
the
third
we've
had
in
a
short
order,
and
we
need
to
be
vigilant
about
other
ones
and
many,
but
not
all
people
have
really
learned
how
to
function
safely
during
the
pandemic.
So
I
think
that's
a
positive
thing
that
we
just
have
to
reinforce
for
a
little
longer
and
the
willingness
to
take
vaccines
is
slowly
increasing.
P
So
that's
another
reason
for
us
to
be
optimistic,
so
in
summary,
I'd
say
I
I
think
if
you
had
to
balance
optimism
and
pessimism,
I'd
be
on
the
optimistic
side,
but
we
need
to
stick
with
it
a
little
bit
longer.
That's,
I
think
the
key
message
that
I
have
tonight
so
again.
Thank
you
for
having
me
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity.
F
P
F
P
Yeah,
you
know
one
thing
I
want
to
say
about
her
immunity:
it's
not
like
a
a
light
switch.
You
turn
on
and
off
you
don't
just
reach,
hurt,
immunity
and
then
switch
turns
and
everything
gets
better.
It's
more
like
a
dimmer
switch,
so
the
more
every
vaccination
we
get
will
get
us
will
have
an
impact
on
the
ability
of
that
virus
to
transmit.
P
But
it
really
relates
to
network
social
networks
and
if
you,
the
more
and
more
people
who
are
vaccinated,
it
just
breaks
down
the
ability
of
the
virus
to
transmit
through
social
networks,
and
there
is
a
threshold
you
reach
where
it
stops
the
transmission,
it
will
eventually
die
off.
So
that's
really
what
herd
immunity
is,
and
it's
very
desirable
that
when
we
get
there
because
it
will
stop
the
continued,
you
know
development
of
these
variants,
which
is
really
important.
P
We
will
never
get
back
to
complete
normal
if
we
don't
get
large
numbers
of
people
to
be
vaccinated
and
reach
herd.
Immunity,
and
one
more
point
I
want
to
make-
is
we're
going
to
need
to
do
this
globally,
it's
not
just
in
our
borders.
So
a
big
task
ahead
is
going
to
be
to
build
up
capacity
for
low-income
countries
to
to
have
vaccinations,
and
if
we
don't
do
that,
we're
going
to
suffer
here.
So
you
know
we
need
to
get
these
numbers
up.
R
R
But
is
it
your
professional
opinion
when,
when
I
see
the
u.s
congress
meets
in
person,
of
course,
they
save
distance?
The
u.s
senate
meets
in
person.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
they
worked
almost
through
the
night
to
pass
the
1.9
trillion
dollar
budget.
I
see
our
general
assembly,
both
senate
and
houses
meeting.
R
P
And
we
can't
let
perfection
be
the
enemy
of
the
good,
but
at
the
same
time,
if
you
can
avoid
meeting
it's
better
to
avoid
it
at
this
stage-
and
I
think
once
people
are
vaccinated,
it'll
add
another
variable
into
this.
So
you
know
I
do
think
people
have
learned
to
navigate
through
this.
You
know:
schools
have
been
relatively
safe
too,
when
the
protocols
are
followed
properly
and
the
number
one
way
people
are
becoming
infected.
P
There's
two
one
of
them
is
restaurants,
indoor,
restaurant
visits
and
bars,
and
it's
largely
because
you
can't
eat
or
drink
with
the
mask,
and
these
are
enclosed
spaces.
So
the
science
is
strong
on
this
strong
enough
to
know
that
if
you
you
know,
do
follow
these
precautions,
you're
going
to
dramatically
limit
the
transmission
and
it's
better
to
avoid
indoor
closed,
poorly
manipulated
meetings
with
people,
especially
large
groups,
without
a
mask
so.
R
R
This
council,
I
believe,
we're
approaching
now
almost
50
percent
of
its
membership
having
been
vaccinated.
I
don't
even
know
beyond
this
my
voice
right
now
that
that's
been
pushed
out.
I
think
that
matters
to
people
in
the
district
you
represent,
or
even
the
church
that
you
go
to
so
when
I
see
us
on
zoom.
I
remember
a
year
ago,
it's
been
a
year
since
we've
met
in
person
a
year
ago.
We
knew,
as
lay
people
virtually
nothing
about
this
virus
a
year
later,
my
god,
we
know
a
whole
lot
more.
R
So
your
point
about
navigating
at
times
in
person,
I
agree
with
we're
able
to
navigate
and
go
to
church,
and
I
I
it's
my
belief
that
us
practicing
some
of
the
best
steps
that
you
just
said:
the
mask
the
safe,
distancing
and,
of
course,
washing
your
hands
that
we
can
do
the
business
of
the
people
in
a
little
bit
more
transparent
way
than
we're
currently
doing
and
I'll
bring
that
up
later
on.
But
I
really
appreciate
your
professionalism
and
the
information
that
you
brought
today.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Anyone
else
have
a
question
or
comment
for
dr
swett.
Well,
thank
you
again,
doctor
for
being
with
us.
We
appreciate
your
partnership
with
us
for
the
for
the
last
year,
it's
been
really
remarkable
between
them,
medical
university
and
the
city
and
our
other
health
care
partners
in
the
in
the
region,
but
you
all
have
been
terrific.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
F
You
just
give
me
one
second
of
personal
privilege.
I
was
waiting
for
council
member
warrior
to
join
us
for
the
council
meeting
and
give
him
a
huge
recognition
sunday.
He
was
one
of
19
members
of
our
catholic
community
to
have
received
a
papal
honor.
This
is
a
an
honor
from
the
pope
himself
wow,
I'm
going
to
mispronounce
the
name
of
the
award.
M
F
Well-Recognized
well
deserved
award,
and
I
just
want
the
council
to
be
aware
of
that.
To
probably
be
aware
of
councilmember
and
mr
waring's
contributions
to
our
community
and
to
his
his
church,
and
I
just
want
to
give
him
a
big
shout
out
and
let
y'all
know
be
aware
of
what
he
was
recognized
for
on
sunday.
F
R
R
It
is
the
it
is
the
pastor,
it
is
the
membership
and
we
all
do
this
together.
So
I,
as
I
told
the
bishop,
I
accepted
it
on
behalf
of
saint
patrick's,
catholic
church
and
obviously
my
family
and
then
myself.
I
want
to
be
way
at
the
back
of
the
line,
because
there's
so
many
other
people
that
are
equally,
I
have
not
more
so
deserving
than
I,
but
it
was
very
touching
very,
very,
very
touching.
So
thank
you
so
much
councilman
and
councilman
gregory,
sacrificing
and
being
there
right,
terrific.
A
T
U
Good
afternoon,
council
members
and
mayor
ross,
appel
who's
been
helping
me
try
and
get
my
road
situation
straight.
I'm
a
bit
concerned.
I
don't
understand
why
it's
so
complicated
city
council
met
in
1976
and
they
said
that
you
cannot
close
the
road
to
frampton
and
you
cannot
close
fairly
drive.
What
we've
got
is
a
fluid
section
of
the
neighborhood,
taking
advantage
of
the
lesser
price
houses
in
the
neighborhood,
and
there
are
specific
rules.
Court
cases
is.
K
S
K
U
Other
hand,
it
must
be
clear
that
no
consideration
other
than
public
interest
could
have
prompted
the
asking
action.
That's
baptist
versus
city
of
malden.
That
is
the
basis
for
closing
a
road,
and
here
there's
an
obvious
disparity
between
one
side
of
the
neighborhood
and
the
other.
My
side
of
the
neighborhood
is
blocked.
I
can't
get
in
and
out
of
my
driveway,
it's
a
dangerous
situation.
U
My
father
had
a
stroke.
Ems
was
impeded
getting
in
the
driveway
he's
sitting
beside
me
now
he's
91
years
old,
the
likelihood
of
him
having
another
stroke
is
50
percent
higher,
and
I
don't
understand
why
there's
difficulty,
maybe
they
don't
want
to
open
up
the
street,
but
there's
there
are
alternatives.
There's
another
access
road
to
come
in
to
the
school,
and
it's
not
just
a
school.
The
entire
neighborhood
has
been
shifted
from
their
side,
which
is
empty
to
my
side.
This
is
busy,
as
can
be.
U
A
O
V
V
The
administration
with
you
with
you
mayor,
I
think,
you've
made
great
strides
and
special
compliments
to
gianna
shaw
johnson,
who
has
done
a
miraculous
job
in
the
10
years
that
I
know
her
and
even
doing
affordable
housing
projects
with
the
department
and
with
the
city
as
a
private
for-profit
developer
with
efficiencies
that
that
we
could
bring
to
bear
for
the
public
good.
So
again,
I'm
I'm
very,
very
supportive
of
this
and
hope
that
if
there's
any
small
little
adjustments
and
tweaks
to
get
this
formula
just
right,
so
it
provides
maximum
productivity
to
get
giama's
department.
C
Hi
good
evening,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
council,
I'm
brian
turner
advocacy
director
with
the
preservation
society,
and
we
very
much
echo
the
comments
of
mr
roberts.
We
also
support
a
revised
workforce,
housing
district
ordinance
to
prioritize
the
development
of
lower
income
housing
and
keep
our
city
vibrant
and
diverse.
C
The
mu
districts
offer
extraordinary
density
and
height
benefits
in
exchange
for
developers.
Commitment
to
these
efforts,
yet
the
pricing
of
fee
and
low
payments
have
proven
ineffective
in
achieving
these
goals.
The
tiered
pricing
plan,
tied
to
successive
quarters
of
each
development
will
be,
will
better
motivate
the
private
sector
to
actually
build
housing
rather
than
punt
the
responsibility
to
the
city,
where
higher
transaction
costs
result
in
less
efficient
outcomes.
C
If
anything,
we
support
raising
the
fees
that
will
further
deter
in
lieu
of
payments
relatedly.
We
support
a
revised
conservation
development
ordinance
as
a
common-sense
policy
to
protect
our
natural
and
cultural
heritage.
However,
we
would
support
a
revision
to
cause
9d,
which
allows
for
75
of
existing
wetlands
to
count
towards
a
development's
common,
open
space
requirement.
This
threshold
is
too
high
and
will
have
the
effect
of
reducing
the
public
benefit
of
these
developments.
W
Drilling
good
evening,
mr
mayor
and
members
of
council
kashan
drollay
with
historic,
charleston
foundation,
affordable
housing
is
one
of
charleston's
greatest
challenges
and
has
approached
a
crisis
level
through
hcf's
work
with
the
crc
and
the
pclt.
Hcf
is
a
committed
partner
of
the
city
in
addressing
this
crisis.
W
Mixed
use,
workforce
housing
zoning
has
been
an
important
tool
in
the
city's
tool
belt,
with
over
11
million
dollars
collected
for
workforce
housing.
So
with
just
one
of
the
14
muwh
completed
projects,
dedicating
workforce
units
and
the
remainder
electing
to
pay
the
fee.
We
think
it's
time
to
revisit
the
ordinance
and
the
fee
structure
and
we're
encouraged
by
the
creative
approach
brought
forward
by
the
community
development
committee
and
we're
generally
supportive
of
a
fee
increase.
However,
we
do
have
some
questions
and
concerns
about
the
proposal.
W
The
ordinance
is
consistent
with
recommendations
made
in
the
dutch
dialogue,
as
it
will
allow
for
prioritization
of
development
on
high
ground,
protect
natural
and
cultural
assets
and
avoid
placement
of
future
residents
in
risky
areas
and
respectfully
would
encourage
council
to
give
first
reading
to
the
ordinance
this
evening.
Thank
you.
O
Okay,
great,
thank
you
very
much.
I
wanted
to
say
that
it's
very
nice
that
the
city
proclaimed
that
next
month,
we'll
have
a
week
of
remembrance
of
the
victims
and
survivors
of
the
holocaust,
and
it's
nice.
The
city
encourages
citizens
to
confront
intolerance
and
hate.
Whenever
and
wherever
it
occurs.
O
In
march
of
last
year,
the
southern
poverty
law
center
put
out
a
report
that
shows
that
white
nationalist
hate
groups
in
the
united
states
increased
55
percent
throughout
the
trump
era,
and
you
have
all
seen
evidence
that
we
have
plenty
of
white
supremacists
right
here
in
charleston
terrorists
who
blatantly
threaten
violence
against
those
who
are
standing
up
and
speaking
out
against
racism
and
hatred
with
trump
gone.
We
are
now
at
a
turning
point
in
our
country
and
in
our
in
charleston.
O
The
city
can
continue
to
do
the
easy
stuff
like
making
proclamations
and
resolutions,
or
it
can
do
the
hard
work
it
will
take
to
crack
down
on
the
white
supremacists
in
our
area.
I'm
sure
most
of
you
have
heard
the
quote
by
death
camp
survivor
and
nazi
hunter
simon
weisenthal,
for
evil
to
flourish.
It
only
requires
good
men
to
do
nothing
according
to
merriam-webster.
The
term
confront
means
face
up
to
or
meet
face,
to
face,
keep
that
definition
in
mind.
O
S
Yes,
I'm
here,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
sir
hi?
How
are
y'all
doing?
Thank
you
for
taking
my
call.
I
just
want
to
say
I
know
I
speak
on
behalf
of
a
lot
of
people
and
I
I
think
it
is
absolutely
laughable
that
you
all
still
feel
the
need
to
hide
behind
computer
screens
to
avoid
facing
the
people
of
this
city
who
deserve
to
see
you
face
to
face
and
and
deal
with
you
about
a
few
things.
S
You
felt
the
need
to
raise
taxes
on
homeowners
and
businesses
on
an
unprecedented
level
to
save
the
city.
You
borrowed
40
million
dollars.
You
spent
27
million
dollars
on
a
parking
garage
built
on
land.
You
gave
away
you've
taken
actions
that
have
led
to
businesses
closing
and
families
losing
their
homes.
On
top
of
all
that,
now
you
pay
unsworn
officers
to
patrol
our
streets,
harass
our
residents
and
steal
even
more
money
out
of
their
pockets,
while
they're
trying
to
fade
their
families
and
keep
the
roofs
over
their
heads.
S
You
should
all
be
ashamed
of
the
way
you've
handled
this
entire
mask
ordinance.
It's
a
joke.
You've
made
a
laughing
stock
of
our
city
and
it's
clear
that,
because
you
don't
know
how
to
manage
an
economy,
you
now
want
to
go
out
of
the
way
to
take
more
money
from
the
people
and
that's
that's
a
shame.
You
should
be
ashamed
of
yourself
and
this
this
city
really
deserves
better.
Thank
you.
B
Y
Okay,
thank
you
good
evening
how
many
of
you
have
been
to
the
battery
on
the
weekend
when
flags
of
the
south
comes
out
to
wave
their
white
supremacist
flags
a
show
of
hands.
Please,
if
you
haven't
please
stop
by
this
sunday
anytime,
from
about
10
a.m.
To
noon
come
see
what
it
feels
like.
Well,
I
understand
that
it's
not
illegal
for
the
hate
group
flags
of
the
south,
formerly
known
as
the
south
carolina
secessionist
party
to
wave
the
flag
of
the
ku
klux
klan
every
weekend
in
white
point
gardens
and
terrorize.
Y
The
thousands
who
pass-
and
I
understand
it's-
not
a
crime
for
the
flags
of
the
south
to
suggest
the
city
erect
the
statue
to
the
white
supremacist
terrorists
who
shot
more
than
70
bullets
and
stole
the
lives
of
nine
beautiful
people.
And
I
understand
it's
not
a
crime
for
the
flags
of
the
south
to
make
posts
inviting
folks
to
a
public
hanging
in
the
backyard
or
for
timbo
to
want
to
sell
his
boiled
peanuts
there.
Y
What
I
don't
understand
is
why
you,
the
powers
that
be
continue
to
bend
and
ignore
the
laws
of
our
city,
to
welcome
this
hate
group
to
occupy
our
park
every
weekend
with
their
flags
of
church
bombers
and
segregationists
to
celebrate
their
heritage
of
white
supremacy
while
encouraging
others
to
do
the
same.
Unless
you
all
support
celebrating
white
supremacy
in
our
park
every
weekend.
I
do
not
understand
why
you
allow
this
to
continue.
Y
A
Y
Z
Hi,
I'm
a
member
of
the
united
front
of
charleston,
I'm
calling
regarding
the
activity
of
racist
hate
groups
in
charleston,
in
particular
the
flags
across
the
south
group
that
regularly
displays
divisive,
white,
supremacist
flags
and
other
symbols.
I
teach
my
history
and
government
students
that
racism
and
white
supremacy
should
not
and
will
not
be
tolerated.
Z
I
commend
the
council
for
including
recognition
of
yomois
holocaust
remembrance
day
in
this
meeting.
Just
like
it's
important
to
speak
out
against
racial
hatred
in
history,
it
is
vital
to
speak
out
against
racial
injustice
in
our
own
time.
It
is
deeply
concerning
to
me
that
the
council
made
the
decision
to
pass
a
resolution
against
hatred
and
division
that
did
not
directly
name
the
perpetrators
of
white
supremacy
in
our
city.
Z
Why
is
the
city
government
allowing
a
police
department
that
has
repeatedly
demonstrated
bias
in
favor
of
white
supremacists
to
dictate
citizens
first
amendment
rights
by
deciding
whether
or
not
to
grant
protest
permits?
I
urge
the
council
to
take
a
serious
look
at
these
issues
and
to
take
action
in
order
to
protect
the
rights
of
marginalized
citizens.
I
also
urge
councilman
harry
griffin
to
resign.
Thank
you.
B
AA
AA
AA
Also.
I
know
that
you
guys
have
received
a
cease
and
desist
letter
from
my
lawyer,
as
well
as
a
foia.
A
freedom
of
information
act
request
with
several
points
of
information
that
we're
requesting,
and
I
look
forward
to
your
guys's
personal
response.
I
know
that
we
haven't
received
one
from
you
yet,
although
the
corporate
attorney
has
said
one
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
some
sort
of
back
and
forth
here-
and
hopefully
we
can
work
together
to
make
sure
that
everybody
is
treated
fairly
and
equally
in
this
situation,
and
thank
you
very
much.
A
B
All
right
and
then
we
did
receive
some
comments
by
phone
and
online
and
those
were
sent
to
council
in
advance
of
the
meeting.
22
people
opposed
extending
the
mask
mandate,
an
additional
60
days
and
said
where
mask
wearing
should
be
optional.
Five
people
asked
to
extend
the
mask
mandate
for
an
additional
60
days.
B
The
health
care
workers
are
working
timelessly
to
vaccinate
people
and
to
discontinue
the
mandate
would
be
selfish
and
uncaring.
Seven
people
said
to
stop
the
hate
campaign
and
and
ban
hate
groups
like
flags
across
the
south.
Poor
people
said
the
display
of
confederate
flags
should
be
banned
in
the
city
of
charleston,
and
those
were
all
the
comments
that
we
received.
A
Well,
thank
you,
madam
clerk
appreciate
that
summary
of
all
and
now,
if
there's
no
further
comment,
we'll
move
on
to
petitions
and
communications
first
up
is
our
report
from
the
resiliency
and
sustainability
advisory
committee,
and
we
we
met
again
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
and
I
wanted
katie
mccain
to
keep
everyone
somewhat
up-to-date.
Briefly
on
our
climate
action
plan
that
she's
been
working
so
hard
on
katie.
Q
So
the
resilience
and
sustainability
advisory
committee
met
on
february
18th.
All
13
members
were
present.
First
on
the
agenda
was
an
update
from
mark
wilber
about
the
us
army
corps
of
engineers,
peninsula
flood
risk
management
study,
which
was
also
a
part
of
the
city
council
workshop
that
happened
later
that
day
and
then
next
on
the
agenda,
I
gave
an
update
about
the
progress
of
the
climate
action
plan,
which
is
obviously
an
effort
that
is
currently
underway.
Q
Q
A
second
community
survey
to
gather
more
public
input
was
released
this
week
and
I'll
be
sure
to
share
that
with
all
of
you,
so
you
can
pass
it
along
to
your
constituents
as
you
see
fit,
and
then
a
final
draft
of
the
climate
action
plan
will
be
presented
at
the
next
meeting
of
the
resilience
and
sustainability
advisory
committee
which
which
is
on
april
8th
and
then
after
that
committee
moves
to
approve
the
report.
Then
it
would
come
before
city
council,
potentially
the
end
of
april
or
early
may.
Q
Next,
on
the
agenda,
we
reviewed
and
discussed
some
of
the
policies
that
are
being
considered
in
the
draft
climate
action
plan.
There
were
about
10
potential
policies
that
were
discussed
and
specifically
the
next
item
on
the
agenda.
We
looked
more
closely
at
one
of
those
policies
and
we
talked
about
the
challenges
and
some
potential
ways
to
address
gas-powered
leaf
blowers.
Q
A
Thank
you,
katie.
Any
questions
for
katie,
we'll
we'll
have
a
definitive
draft
of
that
plan
for
you
after
the
next
sustainability
advisory
committee
and
one
of
those
items
on
the
action
plan
will
be
to
address
gas
powered
leaf
blowers,
and
I
I
want
to
let
you
all
know
that
councilmember
seeking
said
specifically
requested
that
we
include
that
item
as
as
one
of
those
action
items.
But
if
you
want
to
address
that
at
this
point,
member
or
just
wait
until
we
bring
the
the
draft
plan
to
council.
A
A
We
have
not
received
the
grant
yet
so
we're
applying
for
the
grant
for
those
electric
garbage
trucks,
but
we're
certainly
hopeful
and
hopeful
that
we're
going
to
be
get
awarded
that
later
this
year.
All
right,
thank
you,
katie.
So
next
up
is
our
update
on
city's
response
to
covid.
We
already
heard
the
excellent
update
from
dr
sweat
at
the
medical
university
tracy.
Do
you
want
to
add
anything
to
that.
AB
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
I'll
do
a
brief
update.
You
had
dr
sweat
earlier,
who
has
been
amazing
and
really
guiding
the
city
throughout
the
entire
pandemic.
He's
been
a
tremendous
partner,
so
I'll
keep
my
updates
brief,
and
then
I
do
have
a
few
notes
just
from
shannon
and
his
team
to
share
with
you
all
on
on
their
work
recently.
AB
So
some
really
as
dr
sweat
mentioned,
the
numbers
are
looking
really
good.
Even
since
the
last
time
we
met
we've
seen
a
48
decrease
in
cases
and
that
seven
day
average.
So
we
continue
on
that
downward
trend.
I
included
the
the
dashed
black
line,
though
kind
of
to
dr
swett's
point.
You
know
we're
not
quite
out
of
the
woods
yet
simply
because
of
the
presence
of
the
variants,
and
you
can
kind
of
see.
We've
been
we've
been
at
the
stage
we're
at
before
and
and
have
seen
another
surge.
AB
So
it's
we
still
do
need
to
remain
vigilant
and
for
a
little
while
longer,
hopefully
not
too
much
longer
but
very
exciting.
All
of
our
indicators
are
green
and,
as
of
yesterday,
the
city
moved
back
into
phase
three
hospitalizations
continue
to
go
down.
This
is
charleston
county,
so
this
is
another
another
good
sign
and
hopefully,
like
dr
sweat
indicated
with
getting
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
population
vaccinated
first,
hopefully
we'll.
This
will
just
continue
to
decrease.
AB
AB
T
AB
And
just
you
know,
I
think
you
all
have
seen
this
and
dr
sweats
and
I
think
it
sounds
like
at
least
councilmember
shade
was
on
the
dhec
website
earlier
and
had
a
sense
of
this.
But
you
know:
we've
gotten
1.2
doses
administered
in
the
state
and
we're
getting
close
to
20
of
the
population
that
have
at
least
started
the
vaccination
process
so
receive
that
at
least
initial
first
dose.
So
that's
very,
very
encouraging.
AB
Oh,
I
did
have
include
some
demographics
as
well.
I
know
this
has
been
of
interest
to
to
y'all
and
this
is
at
the
state
level
and
actually
now
they've
just
released
a
new
dash,
a
new
dashboard
or
an
updated
dashboard
that
you
can
dig
down
to
the
zip
code
level
and
actually
see
all
of
the
demographics
and
number
of
vaccinations
at
that
level.
AB
So
that's
good,
but
we
still
have
a
long
ways
to
go
with
only
14
percent
being
vaccinated
when
it's
actually
27
percent
of
the
state
population.
So
we
have
a
little
little
ways
to
go
there,
but
other
than
that
not
a
lot
has
has
changed
as
far
as
percentages
of
demographics
and
ethnicity
and
gender
brief
updates
from
from
our
emergency
management
team.
So
this
is
really
exciting.
AB
AB
They
still
have
a
couple
of
hoops
to
jump
through,
but
it
looks
like
they'll
be
ready
to
open
the
clinic
at
180
lockwood,
so
that
partnership
is
is
coming
to
fruition.
They
hope
to
administer
a
thousand
vaccines
a
day
at
that
location
and
it's
going
to
be
open
monday
through
friday
from
8
a.m,
to
5
00.
AB
T
J
Watching
tracy,
do
you
mind
going
back
and
slide?
Please
it
says:
19
of
south
carolina
population
total
people
started
vaccination.
But
what
about?
What
do
you
know
what
the
percentage
of
the
eligible
individuals
who
are
eligible
for
the
vaccine,
because
a
lot
of
young
people
that
are
still
not
eligible,
I
think
it's
more
like
in
the
30
percent
right,
33
percent
or
somewhere,
like
that.
A
AC
City,
council
members,
I
know
you're
all
looking
forward
to
the
meeting
when
you
won't
be
hearing
from
me
on
these
issues.
So
I
look
forward
to
that
too,
and
I
think
we're
all
hopeful.
What
I'd
like
to
talk
to
you
about
this
evening
are
items
I
three
four
and
five
and
we'll
take
each
of
those
individually
I'll
go
through
them
individually
for
tonight's
purposes.
AC
That
would
reflect
and
be
consistent
with
what
the
governor's
order
said
mandated,
and
so
basically,
if,
if
I
could
take
a
second
to
just
go
through
the
proposed
amendment
to
ordinance
2021
34-
and
hopefully
everybody
received
this
yesterday,
I
know
jennifer,
I
think,
sent
it
out
around
four
o'clock,
possibly
3
30..
But
what,
as
I
said
overall
the
important
takeaway
from
this
is
we
are
trying
to.
We
are
aligning
our
emergency
ordinance
with
the
governor's
order,
and
in
that
regard
there
are
a
couple
of
important
changes.
AC
AC
We
felt
that
it
would
be
inconsistent
with
the
governor's
order
that
lifted
the
prohibition
on
alcohol
sales,
so
in
other
words,
we
felt
that
as
long
as
the
governor
was
listing,
the
prohibition
on
alcohol
sales
after
11
that
tandem
to
that,
we
should
also
lift
our
prohibition
on
no
amplified
music
after
that
period
of
time.
So
those
are
those
are
a
couple
big
changes.
AC
This
is
in
section
six
of
our
ordinance
that
I'm
now
talking
about
so
basically
he
said,
for
example,
you
know
that
instead
of
restaurants
having
to
post
signage
on
their
entrances,
requiring
no
visitors,
if
they
have
covet
19
now
they
had
to,
they
only
had
to
they
should
not
post
it.
So
there
were
a
number
of
restrictions
that
the
governor
took
away
and
just
made
as
guidelines.
AC
We
have
followed
that
and
done
the
same
thing
in
our
ordinance
section
six,
and
we
also
did
one
thing,
which
is
totally
consistent
with
the
mayor.
Excuse
me
with
the
governor's
executive
order,
which
is
we
have
left
in
place,
mat
the
mask
prohibitions
and
what
the
governor
has
said
on.
That
is
that
cities
he
expressly
says
in
his
orders
that
cities
and
counties
can
continue
to
impose
mass
restrictions
if,
if
they
believe
that
the
circumstances
in
the
community,
given
the
new
variance
and
new
circumstances
that
are
evolving
would
warrant
that
imposition
of
the
mask
ordinance.
AC
So
so
that's
probably
a
lot
to
tell
you
but
long
story
short.
What
we're
doing
is.
We
are
lifting
almost
all
of
the
restrictions
that
were
in
place
before,
with
the
exception
of
we're,
continuing
to
wear,
masks
in
public
places,
continuing
to
social
distance,
continuing
strongly
recommending
that
no
large
gatherings
and
and
strongly
encouraging
people
to
follow
the
safety
measures
of
the
cdc
and
the
state
department
of
health
and
environmental
control.
AC
The
third
item
is
the
continuation
or
extension
of,
and
let
me
step
back-
we've
asked
that
that
ordinance
be
extended,
that
emergency
ordinance,
the
amendment
to
134
stay
in
place
and
for
60
days,
which
would
take
it
up
to
may
7th.
Basically,
the
third
ordinance
that
we're
asking
you
to
approve
tonight
is
the
emergency
ordinance
extending
emergency
ordinances
that
have
been
passed
previously.
AC
This
is
in
your
packet.
It's
item
i5
we're
asking
that
these
particular
emergency
ordinances
be
extended
to
may
7.
now
for
purposes
of
discussion.
I
don't
know
if
you
all
have
this
in
front
of
you
again.
This
is
item
i5
and
there
are
roughly
six
six
ordinances
which
we
are
asking
you
to
extend
and
they
are
listed
in
section
two
of
the
ordinance
i5
and
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
those
but
they're.
AC
Basically,
continuing
the
prohibition
on
consumer
price
gouging,
continuing
the
suspension
of
the
requirement
of
physical
presence
of
council
members
at
council
meetings,
continuing
the
emergency
ordinance
regarding
temporary
procedures
for
public
hearings,
continuing
the
emergency
ordinance
for
allowing
affordable
housing
units
to
be
approved
by
the
administrative
officer,
continuing
the
emergency
ordinance
on
decreasing
risk
of
exposure
to
covet
19
and
retail
businesses,
and
just
as
a
side
point
that
has
no
mandatory
provisions
in
it.
It's
all
guidelines
for
safe
operations
and
retail
businesses.
AC
The
last
one
would
be
the
emergency
ordinance
requiring
parade
permits
for
25
or
more
persons.
There's
a
a
seventh
ordinance
listed
there,
which
is
134,
which
has
to
do
with
the
masks
in
public
places
and
and
restrictions
on
restaurants
and
bars.
But
if
council
is
of
the
mind
to
approve
the
amended
version
of
134
that
would
replace
2021-34,
we
are
asking
that
this
ordinance
also
be
extended
for
60
days
to
may
7..
So
that's
a
lot,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
anybody
has
about
those
three
items.
AC
AD
AD
I
think
the
emergency
order
has
done
its
job
and
I
think
now
that
we've
protected
the
most
at
risk
and
we
have
a
plan
to
protect
everyone.
Now,
when
we
put
this
in
place,
we
didn't
have
a
plan,
we
didn't
know
what
was
going
on,
but
I
think
it's
time
for
us
to
move
forward.
Our
constituents
are
more
educated
than
they
were
when
this
emergency
order
was
put
in
place.
AD
AD
They'll
be
businesses
who
want
to
protect
their
customers
and
their
staff
and
they're
going
to
require
people
to
wear
masks
in
their
businesses
and
they're
going
to
keep
their
distances
they're
going
to
provide
the
sanitation.
You
know
stuff
they're
going
to
keep
things
clean.
So
I
just
think
now
is
the
time
to
move
forward,
give
our
constituents
the
right
to
choose
and
allow
them
to
be
careful
on
their
own,
and
I
think
the
emergency
order
has
helped
us
get
to
the
point
we
are,
but
I
just
feel
like
it's
time
for
it
to
expire.
J
J
I
see
where
all
of
our
colleagues
have
made
valuable
points
over
the
past
few
months
and
it
has
been
the
will
of
council
to
continue
to
vote
for
the
emergency
ordinances
and
wear
mass
to
prevent
the
spread
of
coven
19.,
but
charleston
has
a
proven
track
record
now.
That
is
past
that
point
of
transmission
infection
and
mortality
rate.
J
J
J
We
also
need
to
quit
writing
tickets
and,
frankly,
I
would
love
to
see
these
citations
dismissed.
The
president
is
there.
Just
last
year,
our
city
prosecutor
dismissed
several
police
citations
that
were
non-violent,
especially
after
the
riots
took
place
on
may
30th.
We
said
at
that
time
that
we
didn't
want
to
ruin
people's
lives
over
non-violent
single
instances.
J
J
I
would
also
suspect
that
a
majority
of
our
businesses
will
still
require
mass
to
be
worn
by
their
employees
and
probably
their
patrons
as
well.
I
think
it's
time
we
give
them
the
right
to
choose
again.
We
have
dictated
their
lives
in
a
lot
of
ways
for
a
year,
whether
it
be
tonight
or
whether
it
be
in
the
near
future.
J
N
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
thank
you
council
members
who've
already
spoken.
I
I
I
empathize
with
the
people
who
are.
You
know,
ready
to
declare
that
we've
done
all
we
can
do
as
a
as
a
local
government
and
that
we
should
let
the
people
be
responsible
and
make
up
for
make
up
their
own
minds
about
how
they
how
they
go
about
their
daily
lives.
N
I
I
I
do
resonate,
though
also
with
the
especially
the
people
in
the
occupations
that
were
moved
into
phase
1b
beginning
yesterday,
and
I
know
you
know
I
I
think
councilmember
sheila
mentioned
teachers
have
already
had
their
opportunity.
My
daughters
are
teachers.
Thankfully
they
had
a
friend
who
heard
that
this
phase
was
going
to
open
up.
N
I
don't
even
know
how,
from
some
other
medical
person
or
something,
and
they
were
able
to
get
an
appointment
today,
but
that
isn't
true
of
the
majority
of
the
phase
one
eligible
people,
as
far
as
I
know,
they're
they're
they're
still
being
challenged
to
find
a
place
that
will
take
an
appointment
and
they're
having
to
wait
until
into
april.
So
I
I
feel
like
1b
people
are
definitely
those
who
serve
people
face
to
face
every
day
in
our
in
our
grocery
store
lines
in
the
restaurants
in
the
other
retail
spots.
N
And
you
know.
Yes,
we
had
a
majority
of
public
comment,
letters
that
the
clerk
tallied
for
us
that
were
asking
us
to
drop
the
60-day
extension,
but
but
the
two
letters
that
were
the
most
compelling
to
me
were
the
from
the
two
front
line.
I
think
they
were
mostly.
You
know:
restaurant
bar
employees,
one
was
a
manager,
and
I
I
think
the
other
one
might
have
been
too.
N
I
didn't
really
pay
attention
to
their
own
occupation,
but
they
both
serve
the
restaurant
industry
and
the
customers,
and
they
they
basically
begged
us
in
their
two
letters,
to
continue
this
as
a
local
government
enforced
mandate,
because
they
said
it's
way
too
hard
to
argue
with
customers.
Trying
to
you
know
push
their
way
into
a
restaurant
without
masks,
especially
if
they're
in
a
location
where
they're
most
likely
to
get
tourists
from
out
of
town.
N
N
I
I
I
would
be
willing
to
compromise
a
few
of
us
talked
about
that
today.
If
we
wanted
to
make
it,
you
know
one
month
into
our
our
first
meeting
in
april
and
then
revisit
this
decision.
You
know,
let's
hope,
that
the
supply
continues.
Let's
hope
that
we
can
continue
to
see
the
percentage
of
the
population.
N
N
E
E
On
the
other
side,
folks
point
to
the
fact
that
mass
help,
vulnerable
people
feel
more
secure
and
therefore
are
able
to
engage
more
fully
in
the
economy
or
that
wearing
a
mass
shows,
respect
for
others
and
follows
the
golden
rule
of
do
unto
others,
as
you
would
have
them
do.
Unto
you
or
that
mass
follow
the
latest
recommended
science
on
stopping
the
spread
of
covid19.
E
At
the
time,
the
city
of
san
francisco
implemented
a
five
dollar
fine,
which
was
a
significant
sum
at
the
time
if
they
were
caught
in
public
without
a
mask
and
were
charged
with
disturbing
the
peace.
Even
during
the
1918
pandemic,
there
was
competing
information
coming
from
government
officials
and
health
institutions.
Much
like
we
see
today,
the
surgeon,
general
and
president
wilson
at
the
time
completely
downplayed
the
violence
of
the
new
flu
strain
that
was
ravaging
the
country
amidst
world
war,
one,
even
while
other
public
health
officials
and
institutions,
including
johns
hopkins
university.
E
The
new
york
board
of
health
and
the
rockefeller
institute
pleaded
for
more
measures
to
be
taken,
but
most
of
the
implementation
of
public
health
measures
was
left
up
to
the
states
and
localities
just
like
today.
I
give
all
that
background
to
say
that
history
does
not
repeat
itself,
but
it
often
rhymes.
E
They
were
not
able
to
develop
a
flu
vaccine
in
time
to
help
with
the
1918
pandemic,
so
the
pandemic
ended
when
those
infected
either
died
or
developed.
Immunity,
however,
with
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
which
it
should
be
noted,
has
killed
more
americans
than
americans
who
died
in
world
war
ii.
We
do
not
have
one
but
three
vaccines
that
have
been
developed.
There
is
light
at
the
end
of
this
tunnel,
but
seeing
the
light
is
not
enough,
we
have
to
get
to
the
end
of
the
tunnel,
no
matter
what
we
do
here
today.
E
People
will
still
question
the
efficacy
of
wearing
a
mask
as
a
prevention
against
covet
19,
and
it
is
true,
the
recommendations
for
mask
wearing
have
changed
from
don't
wear
a
mask
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
to
recommendations
to
wear
multiple
masks.
This
is
not
some
nefarious
conspiracy
on
the
part
of
career
public
health
professionals.
E
This
is
the
scientific
method
at
work.
Hypotheses
are
designed
to
be
tested
and
when
a
hypothesis
proves
wrong,
it
is
tweaked
and
tested
again.
Unfortunately,
most
of
us
only
encounter
the
scientific
method
when
it
is
basically
settled.
Science
that
is
a
hypothesis
has
been
tested,
peer-reviewed
and
agreed
upon.
The
coronavirus
pandemic
has
made
us
have
to
watch
the
scientific
method
get
applied
in
real
time.
E
Science
has
developed
these
vaccines,
and
now
the
state
has
opened
up
eligibility,
so
there
is
a
real
chance
that
between
those
who
have
developed
antibodies
to
covet
and
those
getting
the
vaccine,
we
can
reach
a
point
here
relatively
soon,
where
a
mask
are
no
longer
needed,
but
we
are
not
quite
there
yet.
There
is
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel,
but
I
want
to
be
absolutely
certain
that
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
is
actually
daylight
and
not
an
oncoming
train.
Therefore,
I
will
be
voting
to
extend
the
mandate.
Thank
you.
Thank.
X
You
know,
of
course,
there's
some
things
we
could
have
done
better,
but
we
focused
on
science
and
we
focused
on
the
data
and
when
I
took
an
oath
to
protect
this
city,
it
wasn't
just
buildings
and
streets,
it's
our
most
vulnerable,
those
without
access
to
health
care
in
particular
elderly.
So,
let's
just
be
clear:
8
out
of
the
10
deaths
attributed
to
cobit
were
over
65.
X
X
X
This
is
the
best
part.
There
are
laws
ensuring
we
stop
at
lights,
that
we
don't
smoke
indoors,
that
we
wear
seat
belts,
and
I
don't
hear
anybody
crying
about
personal
freedom
issues
when
you
hear
that
but
mandating
people
to
wear
masks
in
the
middle
of
a
global
world
pandemic
with
no
vaccine
until
two
months
ago,
mind
you
was
the
straw
that
broke
the
camel's
back
come
on
come
on.
X
Those
who
think
masks
do
not
help
clearly
are
not
reading
the
overwhelming
body
of
evidence
and
global
research.
And,
quite
honestly,
I
have
to
ask:
where
are
you
getting
your
information?
If
you
want
to
debate
about
whether
big
brother
is
infringing
upon
your
rights
or
or
your
right
to
wear
a
mask?
That
is
one
thing:
when
someone
flat
out
tells
us
in
the
middle
of
a
public
meeting
and
through
email
and
on
facebook,
that
masks
do
not
help.
X
I
say
with
all
due
respect:
maybe
you
should
spend
less
time
on
facebook
and
more
time
gathering
information
from
the
variety
of
sources
that
are
available
to
you.
Each
of
us
is
entitled
to
our
opinion,
but
not
our
own
facts
and
study
after
study
suggests
that
wearing
masks
reduces
transmission
rates
substantially.
X
Our
vaccination
numbers
are
going
up,
and
this
is
all
good
news.
This
should
give
us
hope,
and
I
will
say
to
to
councilman
shealy
and
councilman
griffin.
I
think
our
narrative
has
to
change.
We
have
to
move
from
a
place
of
protection
and
inclusion
in
being
reactive
to
a
place
of
hope
and
tomorrow
and
optimism.
X
X
I
think
we
should
enforce
and
or
reduce
that
ordinance
to
30
days
and
set
a
goal
to
meet
in
person
for
council
meetings
beginning
tuesday
april
27th.
If
at
the
30-day
mark
conditions
on
the
ground
change,
then
we
adjust,
we
need
to
ensure
a
majority
of
those
in
one
b
are
vaccinated
and
they
have
not
been
vaccinated.
A
So
could
I
entertain
a
motion,
and
I
hear
y'all
comments
about
the
timing
on
this
thing.
Our
april,
our
first
april
meeting
would
be
on
the
13th,
so
frankly,
it'd
be
a
little
more
than
30
days.
So
if
you
want
to
set
a
motion
to
to
have
a
shorter
time
frame
than
the
60
days,
I
I'd
respectfully
ask
that
you
consider
making
it
through
april
14th
so
that
we
at
least
get
to
that
april
meeting
without
having
to
have
an
emergency
meeting.
X
Looking
up
and
researching
the
federal
reserve
bank
of
new
york
found
that
small
business
ownership
in
the
u.s
dropped
22
between
february
2020
in
april
2020,
but
black
ownership
dropped
41
percent,
that's
the
greatest
decline
among
all
racial
groups.
During
the
depths
of
the
pandemic,
an
h
r
block
survey
of
almost
3
000
small
business
owners
found
that
53
percent
of
black
business
owners
saw
their
revenue
drop
by
half
compared
to
37
percent
of
white
owners.
X
I
would
argue
that
when
we
go
about
restarting
and
rebuilding
and
reinvesting
in
our
local
economy
here,
post
covered
mayor
and
council
members,
this
is
more
about
racial
equity
and
opportunity
than
anything
else
in
our
city's.
Recent
history
study
after
study
suggests
that
small
black
business
owners
were
left
out
during
the
covid,
and
if
there
was
a
wealth
and
opportunity
gap
prior
to
covet,
the
gap
is
only
going
to
get
bigger
postcode.
X
You
know,
I
think
this
is
a
critical
opportunity
for
us
as
a
city
and
speaks
directly
to
the
work
of
our
commission
on
equity,
inclusion
and
racial
reconciliation,
and
I
think
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
address
this
mayor
and
fellow
council
members.
That's
the
extent
of
my
comments.
Thank
you,
sir.
X
F
22
deaths
a
year
ago
we're
at
525
almost
526
deaths,
and
when
you
look
at
those
numbers,
you
need
to
keep
a
perspective
that
those
represent.
Those
deaths
represent
20
of
the
global
deaths,
twenty
percent
of
the
global
deaths
our
country
has
racked
up
and
we
only
represent.
We
only
represent
five
percent
of
the
global
population,
so
five
percent
of
the
global
population
accounts
for
20
of
the
dash
from
this
pandemic.
F
F
F
F
One
there's
a
variant
out
there
and
if
we're
not
careful
that
variant
can't
spread,
if
we're
not
diligent,
that
variant
can
spread,
and
then
I'm
not
sure-
and
I
will
know
if
the
scientists
understand
that
variant
of
the
current
vaccine
and
how
effective
that's
going
to
going
to
be.
Second,
we
have
seen
spikes.
It
is
well
documented.
F
Tracy
pointed
that
out
to
us-
and
you
saw
the
graph
there-
is-
that
threat
of
a
spike
to
to
continue
now.
If
we
want
to
continue
this
ordinance
until
after
on
about
april
14th,
I'm
all
for
it
to
see
whether
our
numbers
are
to
go
back
and
revisit
the
number
of
people
who've
been
vaccinated
in
the
tri-county
area
to
see
what
that
21
has
gone
up
to
a
higher
number.
I
think
that's
that's!
F
A
smart
move
on
our
part
also
support
us
going
into
the
14th,
but
I'm
going
to
vote
for
either
version
that
we
continue
this
for
60
days
or
continue
it
until
the
14th
of
april
either
way
because
we
have
got
to
remain
diligent,
and
I
think
that
I'm
not
sure
if
it
was
councilman.
Versace
said
this
or
councilmember
brady
said
this.
Our
number
one
responsibility
is
public
safety
and
we
think
about
that
as
fire
protection
and
police
protection,
but
the
the
well-being
of
our
public
is
our
job
number
one.
F
It
is
what
we
do
to
make
sure
that
we
are
that
we
are
protecting
our
citizens
and
we're
protecting
the
the
people
who
come
visit.
Our
city-
and
this
is
our
responsibility.
It's
it's
not
anything
political.
It
is
just
the
science
out
there
and
it's
the
hard
numbers
are
out
there,
so
I'm
gonna
support
either
one
of
these
versions,
either
the
amended
version
that
we
just
discussed
or
the
way
it
was
written
unless
all
of
us
join
in,
to
have
unanimous
vote
on
continuing
this
until
at
least
april
14th.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor.
F
D
D
I
had
too
many
family
members
and
too
many
friends
that
closely
close
friends
that
died
from
this.
That
virus
very
close
friends
that
I
see-
and
this
is
very
seriously-
we
have
to
take
this
very
seriously.
You
know
and
we
have
to
make
the
tough
decisions
we
know
people
beat
us
up.
I
get
beat
up
all
the
time.
It
doesn't
matter
I'll.
Take
it
because
I'm
there
to
help
to
assist
the
community
and
that's
what's
all
about
me-
is
all
about
community.
It's
nothing
but
me
at
all.
D
It's
pretty
bad,
you
know
a
lot
of
has
had
the
vaccine.
I
have
had
the
backseat
I'm
taking
my
second
shot
on
the
18th.
Also
you
know,
and
with
mo
most
of
the
people
that
taking
their
vast,
you
know
vaccination
and
we
are
in
council
meeting
most
of
the
council.
Members
would
have
their
vaccination,
so
they
said.
D
D
If
we
don't
keep
this
down
right
now,
it
could
come
back
and
the
spike
could
come
up
and
you're
going
to
be
worse
than
it
is
now
and
that's
what
happened
before.
So
we
got
to
be
very
careful
with
it
and
that's
all
I'm
saying
I
hear
what
the
people
are
saying.
I
hear
what
the
community
is
saying,
but
we
are
here
to
we.
We
are
really
looking
out
for
them
and
ourselves
also-
and
that's
all,
is
that's
all.
D
And
and
let's
give
us
a
little
look-
I
asked
before
mr
mayor
we
made
it
had
the
press
conference,
we
said,
give
us
a
little
time.
Time
might
be
next
week.
Time
might
be
next
month.
Time
might
be
six
months,
but
this
is
the
way
it
works.
This
is
something
that
happened
that
we
didn't.
We
were
prepared
for.
We
didn't
know
anything
about,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
stays
healthy
as
we
possibly
can.
We
don't
want
to
see
any
more
death.
I
don't
want
to
see
any
more
death.
D
I
have
grants.
I
have
grants
new
schools,
you
know
as
grands.
My
kids
are
growing,
but
I
have
grads
in
schools.
I
have
daughters
and
sons
that
working
out
in
community
also,
so
if
we
don't
keep
this
thing
underhand
and
as
safe
as
we
possibly
can,
it
could
be
more
and
I
don't
want
nothing
happened
to
them
also,
so
we
have
to
look
in
a
broader
picture
of
it
and
that's
all
we're
doing
a
broader
picture.
D
So
if
you're
going
to
take
to,
if
the
council
member
will
agree
to
go
to
the
april
14th,
I
would
go
to
april
14th
because
I
don't
want
to
see
it
spike
before
we
get
there
and
we
have
to
go
back
again
and
close
everything
back
down
and
then
everybody
going
to
fight
more.
So
we've
got
the
weather
the
storm
a
little
bit.
It's
getting
there.
People
are
getting
vaccinations,
it's
getting
there,
so
this
we've
got
the
weather
to
storm
a
little
bit.
D
G
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I'm
I'm
going
to
be
brief
on
this.
I
think
a
lot
of
great
points
have
been
made
already
this
evening
and
it's
true.
We've
made
tremendous
progress
as
a
country
as
a
state
and
as
a
city
in
dealing
with
this
unprecedented
health
challenge.
One
thing
we
need
to
keep
in
mind
this
mass
ordinance.
This
mass
mandate
is
the
last
vestige
of
the
covid
related
regulation
that
we
we've
been
under.
There's
never
been
a
lockdown
in
south
carolina.
G
There
was
about
a
month
and
a
half
between
the
middle
of
march
and
the
first
week
of
may,
where,
where
there
were
a
lot
of
businesses
closed,
almost
all
of
which
were
due
to
the
governor's
orders
since
then,
things
have
pretty
much
been
open
and
if
you
were
out
downtown
in
the
city
of
charleston
over
the
weekend,
there
were
people
all
over
the
battery
all
up
and
down
king
street
in
restaurants
in
bars.
That's
great
we're
coming
back
and
city
of
charleston
is
going
to
come
back
stronger
and
better
than
ever.
G
G
I
thought
we
were
probably
there
based
upon
everything
that
I
had
heard
and
the
expedited
roll
out
of
the
vaccine
and
the
additional
resources
that
are
putting
in
being
put
into
vaccination,
but
I'm
fortunate
to
have
a
lot
of
doctors
in
my
district
and
and
to
a
man
and
to
a
woman.
Every
single
doctor
I
spoke
to
over
the
weekend
thought
it
would
be
a
terrible
mistake
if
we
got
rid
of
the
mask
ordinance
at
this
time.
So
that's
good
enough
for
me.
I
agree
with
everybody.
We
need
our.
G
Our
goal
needs
to
be
to
get
back
in
person
meeting
as
soon
as
possible
as
soon
as
it's
safe
to
do
so,
we
can
do
it
guys.
We
can
absolutely
do
that.
I
agree
with
the
the
idea
of
of
breaking
this
off
into
smaller
pieces.
So
we
can
come
back
and
evaluate
where
we
are,
but
let's
also
be
real
about
this
coven
19
is
never
going
away.
There's
always
going
to
be
coven.
19,
there's
always
going
to
be
cases,
there's
always
going
to
be
people
that,
god
forbid
die
due
to
coven
19..
G
It's
you
know
it's
going
to
be
with
us
forever,
just
like
most
viruses,
unless
we
can
totally
eradicate
it,
which
would
really
be
something
we
have
to
learn
as
a
society.
How
to
live
with
coven,
19,
right
and
and
vaccines
are
a
big
part
of
that,
and
it's
going
to
provide
an
immense
amount
of
protection
for
the
for
for
a
huge
number
of
people.
G
But
we
have.
We
cannot
act
as
if
the
the
the
risk
is
ever
going
to
go
away,
they're
going
to
be
people
that
never
get
vaccinated
because
they
believe
you
know
bill
gates
is
going
to
control
their
mind
when
the
when
they
get
stuck
with
the
needle,
but
that
can't
stop
us
from
meeting
in
person
that
can't
stop
society
from
opening
up.
I
I
mean
I
heard
president
biden
say
that
at
the
end
of
may,
enough,
vaccine
will
be
out
for
everybody
that
wants
it.
G
That's
a
pretty
darn
good
line
in
the
sand,
and
you
know
israel
has
been
an
incredible
country
when
it
comes
to
vaccinating
its
people,
but
not
just
with
the
roll
out
the
resources
all
that
the
messaging
in
israel,
the
public
relations.
You
know
they're
very
direct
people
in
israel.
They
speak
directly
to
the
point
and
and
don't
don't
you
know,
meander
around,
like
like,
like
some
people
like
myself,
they're
very
clear,
get
vaccinated,
get
back
to
normal
they're,
having
vaccines
given
in
bars
where
they
say
get
a
shot,
take
a
shot.
G
The
messaging
is
muddled
in
the
country
right
now.
It's
it's
where
it's
get
a
vaccine,
but
still
wear
a
mask,
get
a
vaccine
but
hey
you.
Maybe
you
shouldn't
be
around
your
kids.
We
need
to
turn
the
page
on
this
thing.
I
think
we're
getting
close
to
the
end
of
the
book,
we're
not
there.
Yet.
I
think
we
need
to
continue
this.
G
This
mass
coordinates,
but
the
guys
we
need
to
mentally
and
and
psychologically
prepare
ourselves
for
getting
back
to
normal
in
in
every
way,
shape
and
form,
and
you
know
we
tolerate
risk
in
all
measures
of
life
and
that's
not
mean
that
we're
going
to
be
reckless
or
or
we're
going
to
be
foolhardy,
but
once
people
are
vaccinated,
you
know
it
it's
a
game
changer
and
we
can.
We
can't
afford
to
you,
know,
stay
in
this,
this
covid
mentality
for
forever.
So
that's
all
I
got
thanks.
R
R
I
spoke
about
the
intellect
of
our
council
and
I
can't
be
proud
of
what
was
prepared
today
and
said.
I
I
mean
people
doing
their
homework
on
this
and
I
and
that's
that's
best
for
our
community.
I
really
appreciate
what
councilman
brady
said:
you're
right
that
light
at
the
end
of
the
challenge.
Let's
make
sure
it's
a
light
towards
I'm
paraphrasing
but
prosperity
and
not
a
train
hit
it
towards
us,
councilman
sacrament.
R
R
R
We
are
at
least
15
feet
apart
and
the
public
isn't
present,
as
in
present
and
within
less
than
60
minutes,
we've
been
told
twice
to
put
on
our
mask
now,
hypothetically.
If
they
were
livability
officers,
I
guess
they
would
come
in
here
and
write
us
a
a
citation,
but
there's
no
science
that
says
a
person
who's
been
vaccinated,
a
person,
who's
tested,
negative,
that's
14,
15
feet
apart,
there's
a
danger
to
anybody
with
this
virus,
so
we
have
to
use
a
measure
of
common
sense.
R
R
We
used
to
look
at
some
of
the,
and
I
said
it's
respectfully,
some
of
the
people
in
from
asian
societies
walking
around
with
masks
on,
and
you
know
what
some
of
us
used
to
used
to
laugh
you
get
on
a
plane,
people
would
come
in
and
put
a
man
have
a
mask
on
and
we
would
say
to
ourselves
what's
wrong
with
them.
I
tell
you
what
moving
forward
when
I
get
on
a
plane,
I'm
gonna
have
a
mess.
Those
people
were
right.
They
had
more
experience
with
pandemics
than
we
recently
have.
R
So
that
said,
I'm
gonna
support
the
amendment.
I
like
the
great
way
of
moving
into
it.
I
think,
is
the
best
that
we
can
do,
and
I
would
hope
that
I
was
going
to
do
it
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
and
I
still
would
do
it
because
that's
the
appropriate
period
of
time
to
do
it,
but
I
agree
with
councilmember
sacrament
and
others
that
we
need
to
show
the
leadership
that
we
can
govern
this
municipal
government
in
person
with
mass
safe
distancing.
R
A
AC
A
You
anyone
else
all
right,
so
that
was
a
name
from
councilmember
griffin
and
councilmember
shealy
anyone
else.
I
was
just
curious
all
right.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
next
we'll
go
to
our
council
committee
reports.
Two
ordinances
are
included
on
this
next
one.
Our
committee
on
community
development,
councilmember
mitchell.
D
Yes,
the
community
development
meeting
was
held
on.
What's
that
now
I
got
so
many
of
them
march.
I
mean
on
february
25th
at
4
pm.
I'm
gonna
ask
miss
johnson
when
she
come
up
to
and
giving
this
information
we
had
on
the
bottom
of
them.
Did
you
see
that,
on
the
give
the
first
meeting
to
the
following
bills,
the
community
about
at
the
community
development
both
of
those
are
passed
and
approved?
AE
D
While
she
was
signing
on
on
item
a,
we
had
a
big
discussion
on
that
and
he
had
a
presentation
about
by
nhe
for
the
low
line,
affordable
housing
development
which
they
received
the
contract
so
and
it's
a
it,
was
only
for
information.
Only
so
ms
johnson
gonna
probably
explain
the
b
and
c
if
she's
there,
yet.
AF
AG
AF
Greater
familiarity
with
the
organization,
the
development
group
that
will
build
the
rental
properties
on
the
city's
property
near
the
low
country
low
line
item
b
was
an
ordinance
to
amend
part
15
for
chapter
54
of
the
code
of
the
city
of
charleston
to
provide
for
an
increased
fee
in
lieu
under
our
mixed
use.
Workforce
housing,
ordinance.
AF
I
would
say
the
ordinance
and
the
recommendation
stems
from
the
report
that
was
submitted
to
cd
committee
of
city
council
approximately
one
month
ago
that
basically
provided
evidence
relative
to
the
fact
that
we
recognize
over
the
last
several
years
that
the
fee
was
lower
than
we
desired
it
to
be,
and
I
think
many
of
you
heard
me
say
that
at
the
very
beginning,
but
nevertheless
we
have
evidence
showing
that
now
and
so
what
we're
recommending
to
you
tonight
is
a
change
in
that
item.
C,
of
course,
was
an
ordinance
to
men.
AF
Article
2
under
chapter
54
of
the
code
of
the
city
of
charleston,
related
to
our
conservation,
development
and
again
corporation
council,
prepared
an
ordinance
and
we
have
our
planning
director
who
will
speak
to
that.
But
before
we
go
there
matt,
if
you
will
just
share
with
the
council
the
recommendations
we
made
relative
to
the
fee,
and
I
would
remind
council
the
idea
behind
these
recommendations
and
this
fee
structure
is
to
provide
for
the
opportunity
for
developers
who
opt
in
to
the
fee
and
loot
to
have
several
options.
AF
But
our
goal
here
is
to
ensure
that
we
are
able
to
have
affordable
housing
constructed.
The
fee
has
been
phenomenal
for
us
because
it's
been
an
unrestricted
source
of
funds,
but
in
light
of
the
need
for
affordable
housing,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
the
affordable
housing
on
site.
So
with
that,
I
will
be
quiet
and
asked
matt
to
just
explain
that
fee
structure-
and
I
see.
I
I
did
mr
mayor.
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
procedurally
that
what
I
heard
from
ms
johnson
is
correct.
So,
as
this
came
through
the
cd
committee,
they
got
a
report
on
the
fee
in
lieu
and
some
recommendations,
but
they
have.
They
did
not
vote
on
this
ordinance
that
we
have
in
front
of
us.
The
ordinance
has
come
between
the
meeting
and
tonight
is
that
correct.
A
AH
Yes,
sir,
I
think
the
committee
just
voted
on
the
fee
structure.
I
believe
the
ordinance
was
prepared
before
the
committee
meeting
and
I
did
I
think
a
couple
people
had
pointed
out
some
issues.
You
know
just
some
small
changes
to
it
that
I
had
outlined
that
I
can
go
through
once
we
get
further
into
it,
but
no
I
they
did
not
have
the
ordinance
at
the
meeting,
though
I'm
absolutely
sure
of
that
you're.
AE
AE
AE
AE
Under
the
proposal
there
are
four
tiers
with
an
escalating
fee
amount
at
each
tier,
as
there
are
four
tiers.
The
fee
amount
at
each
applies
to
a
quarter
of
the
gross
square
footage
of
the
development,
so
the
fee
amount
at
tier
one
starts
at
seven
dollars,
fifty
cents
per
square
foot.
That
applies
to
a
quarter
of
the
growth
square,
footage
of
the
development
and
then
increases
that
tier
two
to
ten
dollars
per
grow
square
foot.
That
applies
to
again
a
quarter
of
the
growth
square,
footage
of
the
development
at
tier
three.
AE
It
increases
to
12
dollars,
50
cents
per
square
foot
applying
to
a
third
or
sorry
a
quarter
of
the
growth
square,
footage
of
the
development
and
then
tier
four.
The
fee
amount
is
15
per
gram
square
foot,
applying
to
a
quarter
of
the
gross
square,
footage
of
the
development,
and
so
under
the
structure.
The
developer
has
the
the
choice
to
build.
AE
AF
A
So
so
again,
I
guess
I
would
make
the
point
that
the
ordinance
before
you
substantially
the
purpose
is
just
to
adjust
the
fee
and
to
make
it
adjustable
to
inflation
over
time
and-
and
this
is
first
reading,
so
I
would
like
to
entertain
the
motion
to
approve
it
and
and
if
there
any
further
scrutiny
of
it
or
recommendations.
Of
course,
we
can
make
it
make
those
when
we
come
back
for
for
for
a
second.
T
I
know
this
is
for
first
reading,
but
I
did
have
some
discussions
with
ms
johnson
regarding
some
issues
that
I
observe,
especially
with
regard
to
first
generation
participants,
and
I
think
that
there
was
an
omission
from
the
old
ordinance
that
was
not
included
in
this,
and
I
think
that
I
think
there
have
been
discussion
to
put
it
back
in
and
also
to
make
sure
that
the
date
is
consistent
with
the
date
of
ratification,
as
opposed
to
the
date.
That's
currently
in
the
draft.
AH
AH
AH
AH
Okay,
everybody
see
the
there's
a
word
document
in
front
of
you
as
I
was
going
through
it.
I
did
notice
the
definition
of
square
footage
was
written
incorrectly.
It
should
be
the
difference
difference.
I
think
I
put
different
and
I
didn't
put
the
put
the
rest
of
the
equation
in
there.
This
just
matches
the
language
from
the
previous
definition
of
square
footage.
That's
in
the
ordinance
now
the
I
mistakenly
wrote
the
tier
quarter
instead
of
the
fourth
tier
in
on
page
four
in
the
multiplier
about
multiplying.
AH
AH
I
just
completely
admitted
it
if,
if
a
certificate
of
occupancy
has
been
issued
for
these
first
generation
properties,
these
are
ones
that
are
under
the
not
the
immediate
the
ordinance
in
effect
now,
but
the
ordinance
that
preceded
that
in
2017,
then
the
if
there's
a
conversion,
the
fee
per
unit
can
can
be
prorated
to
account
for
the
number
of
months.
The
unit
was
previously
subject
to
rent
to
the
workforce,
housing
covenants.
AH
So
that's
excuse
me
not
a
converted,
just
if
you're,
if
you're,
if
you
want
to
pay
the
fee
in
lieu
instead
of
continuing
your
rental
of
a
workforce
housing
unit
on
the
property,
you
can
pay
your
prorated
amount
based
on
the
total
months,
you've
already
rented
it
out
as
workforce
housing.
So
you
do
the
calculation
it's
based
on
the
3.40
multiplier
in
effect
prior
to
2017,
and
it's
it.
You
pay
that,
based
on
your
the
total
months,
you've
rented
it
out
and
I
think
that's
a
10-year
affordability
period.
AH
The
previous
changes
were
applicable
to
all
properties
that
had
not
previously
been
zoned
or
for
which
a
zoning
application
was
not
pending.
At
the
time
we
adopted
it,
this
ordinance
it's
drafted
now,
so
that
it
would
apply
to
any
zonings
that
would
occur
between
february
25th,
which
is
when
the
cdc
committee
meeting
was.
AH
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
and
between
first
and
second
reading,
I'd
love
to
sit
and
talk
with
miss
johnson
and
mr
mcqueen
about
these
next
two
questions.
One
is:
how
did
we
arrive
at
the
at
the
rates
that
we
arrived
at
in
the
four
different
tiers
or
the
four
different
categories:
the
750
10,
12,
15
and
15?
I
AH
I'll
say
from
my
perspective,
they
had
calculated
out
two
or
three
different
types.
I
told
them
they
didn't
go
as
high
as
possible,
but
I
told
them
to
go
as
high
as
possible
to
give
you
all
some
low-hanging
fruit,
but
they
did
not
accept
that
recommendation.
They
went
they
wanted
an
average
amount,
but
I
think
you
know
they
had
run
the
numbers
based
on
various
scenarios
and
decided
on
these
particular
numbers.
I
So
that's
good
for
now,
so
that
I
get
that
and
this
follow-up
question,
mr
mayor,
if
I
might
so,
the
idea
is
to
build
on-site
workforce
housing,
which
we
weren't
successful
with
for
the
first
time
around.
It
was
all
fianlu
right,
so
my
question
is-
and
I
wonder
if
we
can
build
this
in
and
mr
chairman,
I
would
ask
that
you
take
this
up
at
the
cd
meeting
on
thursday,
wouldn't
be
of
some
value
to
take
a
look
at
the
stock
document
and
this
ordinance
and
build
a
hybrid
in
there.
I
It
just
seems
that
we're
making
them
make
a
hard
choice
on
the
front
end
we're
either
going
to
get
in
the
workforce,
housing,
business
or
not,
and
I
I
I
would
say
that,
there's
a
possibility
in
this
ordinance
to
put
a
hybrid
in
there.
That
may
be
of
some
attraction
to
developers
going
forward
and
it's
something
I
think
I
don't
want
to
commits
it
too
much
tonight
in
a
big
city
council
meeting.
But
I'd
like
to
talk
about
that
and
see
if
that's
something
that
we
can
build
in
as
another
third
option
private
option,
we.
D
Can
take
a
look
at
it
but
most
of
the
developers
I
spoke
with,
in
which
you
know
most
of
the
developers
in
the
district
I
represent,
and
I
was
explaining
to
them
that
this
was
going
to
happen
and
most
of
them
called
me
back
and
say
they
don't
have
a
problem
with
it.
So
I
you
know
we
can
still
discuss
that.
The
next
meeting
I
have
a
meeting
coming
up.
Probably
tomorrow
I
mean
thursday.
D
F
So
june
this
may
be
a
question
for
you:
how
is
this
ordinance
as
we
we're
going
through
these
amendments?
How
does
this
sort
of
compare
if,
if
we
can
do
a
comparison
with
other
cities
who
are
trying
to
do
this?
The
same
thing
I
mean
there's,
obviously
some
tweaking.
We
need
to
do
with
this,
because
the
the
first
way
wasn't
working
as
well
as
we
wanted
to
work.
AF
Many
of
the
developers
at
that
time
told
us
that
that
fee
structure
was
too
high,
that
it
would
have
an
adverse
effect
on
development
in
the
city
of
charleston,
and
many
developers
would
not
want
to
opt
in
to
the
mixed
use:
workforce
housing.
Well,
that
was
not
true
and
one
of
the
things
that
council
member
white
when
he
served
on
council
said
the
evidence
will
be
whether
or
not
they
use
this
or
not
gianna,
whether
they
decide
they're
going
to
opt
in
well.
AF
Based
on
that
report
that
we
had
in
your
council
packets
at
the
last
meeting,
every
single
developer,
13
out
of
the
14
developers,
chose
the
fee
versus
building
the
units
on
site.
So
that
said
to
us
that
in
fact,
that
fee
was
not
as
punitive
as
they
wanted
to
say
cried
about,
but
it
wasn't
as
punitive
as
they
made
it
out
to
be,
and
so
with
that
over
the
last
several
years
very
similar
to
what
we
did
at
the
beginning
of
the
process,
we
began
to
analyze.
AF
What
other
cities
across
the
country
have
been
doing
in
relation
to
this?
Some
have
fees
higher
than
what
we're
proposing
some
have
various
hybrids
of
fees,
along
with
other
incentives
included
with
their
ordinances,
and
we
landed
somewhat
in
the
middle
recognizing
that,
because
our
fees
were
lower
than
what
we
wanted
them
to
be
from
the
very
beginning.
AF
We
thought
it
appropriate
to
use
this
scale
that
we're
presenting
to
you
tonight
in
having
analyzed
and
assess
the
various
fees
across
the
country.
So,
to
answer
your
question
even
more
specifically,
will
it
give
us
the
increased
funding?
Yes,
it
would
give
us
more
funding,
but
in
addition
to
that,
we're
hoping
that
it
will
also
encourage
the
development
of
affordable
housing.
AF
I
always
refer
to
mu2
as
the
two
at
swords,
simply
because
we
knew
we
needed
funding
to
reach
a
larger
audience
or
spectrum
of
affordable
housing,
but
we
always
we
needed
the
units
as
well
and
so
we're
hoping
that
what
we've
presented
is
going
to
do
just
that,
even
if
they
don't
choose
to
build
all,
they
can
build
some
and
then
pay
the
fees.
So
we
are
still
garnering
the
unrestricted
dollars,
but,
more
importantly,
and
equally
as
important,
we're
also
getting
those
units
which
is
very
important
to
our
community.
At
this
point,.
F
F
It's
not
restrictive
enough,
and
so
I
think
the
point
that
you
just
made
is
helps
me
a
little
bit
better
clarify
that,
even
even
if
they
do
opt
out,
we
get
some
money
and
the
money
is
goes
into
our
kitty
and
the
kitty
helps
us
develop,
affordable
housing.
So
it's
it's
not
a
lose
situation.
I
mean
we.
F
We
may
prefer
that
they
include
that
in
their
development,
a
certain
percentage
of
units,
but
we're
not
losing
out
if
they
they
don't,
which
may
be
by
some
debate
according
to
some
folks,
they
much
rather
have
the
the
money
into
the
kitty
because
those
houses
become
permanent
for
workforce
housing.
So
it's
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
about
it
and
I
know
it
sounds
like
you're
trying
to
hit
a
compromise.
A
sweet
spot
is
what
it
sounds
like
to
me
on:
finding
that
that
that
number
that
balance
we're
getting
into
so
exactly.
G
What
if
we
just
make
them
build
the
units
I
mean,
I
I
think
that
hard
inclusionary
zoning,
which
I
would
define
as
a
base
zoning
designation,
that
requires
the
building
of
affordable
housing,
has
genuine
legal
issues
and
and
is,
is
a
debatable
issue.
But
here
we're
talking
about
nobody's,
forced
to
have
mixed
use,
workforce
housing.
This
is
something
that
is
elected
by
rezoning
right.
So
so
the
developer
is
coming
forward
saying
we
want
density.
We
want
this
parking
relief.
Well,
as
a
city,
I
don't
and
listen.
G
Guess
what
happens
to
the
price
of
housing?
It
goes
up
or
or
you
can
disincentivize
certain
types
of
development
from
even
happening.
Berkeley
county
had
a
transportation
impact
fee
for
about
a
decade
and
it
killed
commercial
development
in
huge
swaths
of
the
county.
So,
if
you're
ever
driving
through
berkeley
county
through
the
oceans
of
suburbia
without
a
gas
station
and
a
fast
food
restaurant,
it's
because
they
had
a
fee
structure
in
place
that
distorted
the
market
and
produced
unintended
consequences.
A
Well
well,
thank
you
and
before
I
go
to
council
member
jackson
just
to
address
that
we
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
permanency
of
affordability
and-
and
so
you
know
when,
when
you
opt
in
with
the
mixed
use
zoning
there
was
a
time
limit
that
burns
off
on
that
affordability.
So
the
thought
was.
If
we
got
the
fee
in
lieu,
we
could
invest
in
properties.
That
would
be
perpetual,
and
so
that's
the
balance
we
were
trying
to
meet.
A
This
gets
us,
I
think,
in
a
more
reasonable
spot,
because
it
it
in
a
way
provides
an
incentive
for
the
developer
to
at
least
produce
some
of
the
units
on
site
and
increases
our
fee,
so
that
if
we
are
investing
in
permanent,
affordable
housing,
we
get
a
little
more
fee
for
it.
So
we're
just
kind
of
trying
to
find
that
sweet
spot,
councilmember
jackson.
N
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
I
would
have
said
the
same
thing
in
response
to
councilmember
palette.
I
think,
if
we're
gonna,
if
we're
gonna
go
the
only
build
units
route,
then
we
need
to
make
the
the
affordability
period
much
longer
and
I
do
think
that
probably
will
you
know,
have
consequences
in
the
development
community.
So
I
I
I'm
in
support
of
this.
I
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
look
at
the
hybrid
approach
as
councilmember
seekings
was
suggesting.
N
N
I
I
know
that
when
you
say
unrestricted
fund
funds
are
in
the
fee
in
lieu
you
mean
for
the
housing
budget
and
for
the
way
that
we
can
leverage
money
that
comes
over
the
transom,
especially
I
mean.
Essentially
we
can't
we
can't
budget
it.
We
can't
plan
for
the
money
because
developments
come
in
and
they
make
their
decisions
and
then
we
take
delivery
of
the
funds,
but
but
you
did
use
the
word
unrestricted
and
I
want
to
make
it
clear
to
everybody
who's
watching
this,
that
it's
not
a
general
fund
on
restriction.
N
N
I
know
I've
been
there.
I've
done
that,
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
so
I'll
look
forward
to
having
another
good
conversation
on
cd
committee,
I
I
would.
I
would
recommend
that
we
not
do
it
on
thursday.
I
think
we
should
give
our
staff
some
time
to
you
know
look
into
the
hybrid
approach,
maybe
have
a
conversation
with
councilmember
seeking
some,
but
we
are
going
to
have
a
regular
scheduled
cd
before
be
before
the
end
of
the
month.
So
I
think
that's
a
good
time
to
do
that.
A
Exactly
we're
not
forcing
anybody
to
pay
a
fee,
they
can
provide
all
the
units
required
and
they
don't.
They
don't
owe
us
a
penny.
So
sometimes
there
was
such
a
focus
on
the
fee.
Folks
were
forgetting.
Well,
that's
voluntary!
You
don't
have
to
pay
the
fee.
You
can
just
provide
the
the
units
as
specified
all
right,
any
any
further
discussion.
No.
D
If
we
don't
have,
if,
if
we
can't
do
it
at
the
next
meeting,
we
have
another
meeting,
that's
going
to
be
on
the
25th
of
this
month,
so
I
I
have
two
meetings
this
month
so
with
what
councilman
seekings
is
really
you
know
relating
to.
If
we
can't
you
know
with
discussion,
haven't
been
gotten
yet
if
they
haven't
gotten
the
information
yet
that
we
can't
bring
it
up
on
thursday,
we
can
do
it
on
the
25th
correct.
A
I
A
N
Interesting
wait,
I
don't.
I
don't
have
any
comments
about
the
the
content,
but
I
was
just
hoping.
Maybe
we
could
review
what
the
process
will
be.
This
goes
to
the
planning
commission,
assuming
we
give
it
first
reading
tonight.
It
goes
to
the
planning
commission
next
week
for
their
recommendation
to
the
council
and
then
when
will
it
come
back
to
the
council
for
public
hearing?
Do
we
expect.
AH
No
sir,
pending
ordinance
doctor
only
prevents
excuse
me
only
applies
to
things
that
limit
development,
so
you
stop
a
run
to
the
zoning
administrator
to
get
applications
in
that
that
would
violate
the
new
ordinance.
That's
intended
to
protect
the
public
safety
etcetera,
so
you
can
only
apply
it.
You
have
to
do
the
two
readings
and
hearings
in
order
to
add
rights.
In
order
to
take
away
rights,
you
can
apply
the
pending
ordinance
doctrine.
Thanks
for
that
clarification.
A
D
D
I
You,
mr
mayor,
the
committee
on
traffic
and
transportation
met
yesterday
at
two
o'clock
seems
like
a
little
longer
ago.
Now
we
took
up
the
same
thing
that
both
the
real
estate
committee
and
the
ways
and
means
committee
took
up
on
the
agreement
with
palmetto
railroads
and
the
spa,
for
the
purchase
of
property
and
for
other
improvements
to
be
made
in
the
area
with
the
southern
loop
of
the
railroad
tracks
are
going
to
come
out
of
the
navy
base
in
lebanon
terminal.
Our
vote
was
to
authorize
the
mayor
to
enter
into
the
moa.
I
It
was
unanimous,
I
think,
we've
already
done
that
through
real
estate
and
through
the
real
and
through
the
ways
of
means,
but
I
would
encourage
you
all
if
you
haven't
actually
seen
a
plot
or
a
map
of
what
the
southern
loop
is
and
what
it
entails.
I
would
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
take
a
look
at
it.
It's
going
to
bring
some
pretty
long
trains
through
the
city
of
charleston,
particularly
across
meeting
street.
We
had
a
study
done
a
couple
of
years
ago
by
jennifer
beal,
who
predicted
at
rush
hour.
I
The
backups
at
the
crossings
that
are
at
grade
would
be
between
five
and
six
thousand
feet,
and
I
don't
think
that
her
study,
which
I
went
back
and
looked
at
today,
took
into
account
the
actual
length
of
the
trains
that
are
going
to
come
out
of
the
navy
base
and
go
across
the
southern
loop.
The
length,
the
longest
trains
that
they
predict
that
will
come
out
of
there
with
containers
on
them
is
15
000
feet,
which
is
a
three
mile,
long
train
at
a
speed
of
somewhere
between
seven
and
ten
miles
an
hour.
I
So
just
we're
going
to
have
to
think
about
that
neck
area
and
the
southern
loop
and
how
we
manage
it.
The
good
news
is
the
loop
did
move
to
the
east
a
little
bit,
so
it
does
not
block
king
street
extension,
but
it
will
come
across
meeting
street.
So
I
I
do
think
that
we
as
a
city
probably
ought
to
think
about
infrastructure
in
that
area.
I
So
anyway,
we
did
agree
to
authorize
the
mayor
to
enter
into
that
moa
and
we
hope
that
that
monies
will
be
used,
among
other
things,
to
think
about
what
we're
going
to
do
in
that
area
in
the
future
when
it
comes
to
mobility
and
transit
with
15
000
foot
trains
rolling
through
our
city.
So
with
that
that
completes
my
report,
mr
mayor,
unless
there's
any
questions,
any
questions.
J
But
I
tell
you
what
I
just.
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
give
a
shout
out
to
jeff
mcwater
and
the
team
over
there
at
palmetto
railways,
we're
very
lucky
that
we
have
one
of
the
best
short
lines
in
this
country
right
here
in
charleston
that
serves
both
csx
and
norfolk.
Southern
and
just
in
case
you're
wondering
those
rail
cars
are
full
of
bmws,
so
they're,
coming
in
and
out
of
there
all
day,
long
and
they're
coming
down
from
greenville
and
and
we
need
that
commerce
we
need
the
port.
J
We
need
palmetto
railways,
they're
building
a
brand
new
intermodal
facility
across
the
street
from
my
work
up
on
the
navy
base
and
we're
going
to
have
a
very
fluid
motion
of
cars
back
and
forth
from
the
navy
base
down
to
columbus
street.
So,
yes,
it's
going
to
stink
a
little
bit
with
the
traffic,
but
just
know
it's
a
lot
of
commerce
coming
through
there
and
it's
going
to
create
a
lot
of
revenue
for
all.
A
T
R
You
see
item
a
I
and
item
b.
Please
pay
attention
to
item
I
and
that
it
is
a
change
order
that
results
in
a
zero
cost
to
the
city.
That's
one
of
the
first
times
I
ever
seen
that
in
10
years,
almost
10
years
on
council
and
that
didn't
happen
by
accident.
It
happened
because
of
mr
fountain
and
his
team.
R

That's
working
on
the
right
now,
the
largest

the

so
kudos
to

as
well
as
mr

and
his

that
passed

I'm
going
to
ask
the
privilege
from
the
members
of
the
committee
yesterday
who
had
the
opportunity
to
ask
the
questions.
Hopefully
you
keep
our
questions
in
advance
to
allow
the
council
members
who
are
not
on
the
committee
to
ask
their
pertinent
questions
just
for
the
sake
of
time,
mr
fountain,
can
you
give
us
a
review
of
the
small
projects
as
well
as
the
project
updates?
Mr
fowler.
AI
Yeah,
thank
you
councilmember
warren,
so
the
the
small
project
updates.
We
did
provide
a
summary
spreadsheet
to
the
all
the
members
of
council,
as
well
as
members
of
the
committee
at
the
end
of
last
week,
and
then
we
also
provided
write-ups,
just
kind
of
short
narrative
write-ups,
with
a
brief
description
and
budget
and
council
district
for
each
of
those
projects.
AI
AI
AI
If
you,
if
you
remove
the
yellow
projects
from
the
small
project
allocation
and
say
those
would
be
considered
under
the
drainage
fund,
restaurant
things
we
discussed
at
committee,
you
would
you
would
remain
or
end
up
with
a
remaining
amount
of
about
1.4
million
dollars
in
the
more
traditional
small
project
approach
projects.
If
you
included
everything
that
had
been
potentially
fundable
in
this
list.
AI
So
that's
that's
kind
of
where
we
stand
at
this
point
again.
The
discussion
council
had
also
asked
if
anyone
is
aware
of
any
other
projects
and
additional
projects
that
are
not
on
the
list,
certainly
do
let
us
know
prior
to
that.
Next
public
works
utilities
committee
meeting-
hopefully
at
least
at
least
a
few
days
in
advance
of
the
meeting,
and
I
will
incorporate
them
into
the
list
for
discussion
at
the
next
public
works
utilities.
AI
Committee
meeting
the
yellow
projects
that
we
have
discussed
would
be
eligible
for
discussion
in
the
drainage
fund
allocation,
as
we
previously
presented
with
ms
wharton
at
the
last
public
works
utilities
meeting
and
the
council
meeting
sort
of
the
status
of
the
drainage
fund.
What
we're
looking
at
for
potential
cash
flow
unallocated
to
existing
projects
within
the
next
five
years.
R
Mr
you
would
allow
I'm
going
to
reiterate
what
mr
fountain
just
said.
Please
think
about
small
projects
in
your
districts.
This
is
going
to
be
brought
back
in
two
weeks.
You
know
some
of
the
projects,
certainly
better
than
I,
mr
fountain
knows
them
all.
Basically,
but
this
is
your
opportunity
to
kind
of
say:
hey.
We
got
this
pertinent
thing.
That's
been
left
off
the
list,
so
please
kind
of
study
it
and
then
get
with
mr
fountain.
So
two
weeks
from
now,
we
can
consider
it.
Thank
you,

so
it's
a
it's
a
massive
scale
project.
It's
actually
a
picture
of
the
initial
pour
behind
me,
but
it
was
a
successful
poor
contractor
did
a
great
job
and
we're
continuing
to
make
really
good
production
on

we've
now
moved
the

in

control.
We've
done
some
rework
of
the
traffic
control
from
some
initial
issues
we
had
with
signage,
it's
always
complicated
when
you
have
only
one
lane
open
going.
One
direction
was
previously
a
two-way
street.
I
think
we're
making
improvements
on
that.
AI
We
did
also
complete
micropal
foundation
tests
for
the
project,
which
is
basically
where
we
install
test
foundations
and
see
if
they
perform
with
site
soils
the
way
that
the
designers
had
anticipated
for
the
project.
These
came
out
really
well,
which
is
a
good
sign
for
the
project
work
that
lets
us
proceed
into
cws
water
line,
installation
which
will
begin
this
week,
and
then
we
will
move
behind

installing

kind
of
linearly
along
that

pathway.

King

phase
two
we're
continuing
with

that
that
just
that
update
will
continue
to
be
the
same
for
for
quite
some
time,
moving
forward
as
we
work
through
that
relatively
complex
part
of
the

permitting
associated

next
step
is
for

basically
go
in
and
reconnect
the
somewhere
around
100
000
wire
pairs
from
the
old
conduit
into
the
new

so
that
we
can
then
cut
and
remove
the
old

and
begin
our
project
work.
We
should
have
our
final
few
real
estate
easement
acquisition
packages
coming
through
the
real

committee
over
the
next

so
basically
again
trying
to
combine
what
were
previously
phase
2a
and
2b
into
a
single
phase.

The
market
street
drainage
project.
We're
working
on
coordinating
with
dominion
again
the
permits
are
all
in
place
for
this
project.
At
this
point,
it's
trying
to
coordinate
the
undergrounding
of
the
power
on
the
street.
We
do
have
a
path
forward.
We
think,
would
work
with
dominion
with
dominion,
basically
coming
in
following
our
work
on
the
project,
doing
their
undergrounding
and
then
we'd
come
back
basically
and
re-streetscape
any
damages
they
make
to
the
corridor
during
their
project
work.
So
that
might
be
a
good
pathway
forward.
AI
We
do
need
to
review,
as
ms
wharton
have
presented
at
the
last
meeting,
the
kind
of
updated
accommodations
hospitality
funding
for
the
streetscaping
portion
of
the
project,
but
we
do.
We
do
think
we
have
at
least
a
pathway
forward
with
the
utilities
that
that
coordination
is
still
likely
to
take
some
time
to
to
finalize
those
agreements,
but
we'll
basically
continue
to
make
progress
on
that
project.
The
cooper-jackson
drainage
improvement
evaluation,
we've
completed
our
field
survey,
as
we've
talked
about
we've
cleaned
about
10,
000,
linear
feet
of
pipe
in
the
area.
AI
We
do
have
our
contractor
doing
one
last
final
section
of
cleaning,
which
we
think
will
leverage
a
lot
of
the
existing
cleaning
we've
done
in
that
area
and
be
able
to
actually
get
kind
of
a
whole
other
level
of
drainage
improvement
in
the
short
run
to
the
basin.
Again,
that's
certainly
not
going
to
fix
the
flooding
in
the
area,
but
it
should
help
it
drain
out
much
better
at
low
tide
and
create
some
real
improvements.
AI
Separate
from
that,
of
course,
aecom
is,
as
they've
completed
their
survey
they're
now,
building
their
stormwater
model,
their
computer
model
we're
gathering
some
information
from
the
community
on
kind
of
known
flooding
and
hotspots
for
calibration
of
the
model
or
validation.
The
model
will
basically
build
up
some
improvement
ideas
and
then
be
able
to
reach
back
out
to
the
community
and
see
about
prioritization
of
project
approaches
for
the
area,
the
barbary,
woods,
drainage,
diversion
project
we've
basically
been
working
through
our
preliminary
design
work.
We've
actually
developed.
Now
our
concept
plan
about
30
plan
for
the
area.
AI
The
windermere
drainage
improvement
evaluation.
This
one
this
one
had
a
had
a
pretty
interesting
update.
We
actually
finished
a
collaborative
cleaning
project
with
scdot,
where
we
had
there's
a
series
of
of
old
drainage
pipes
along
kind
of
that
intersection
of
folly
road
wesley
drive
and
folly
boulevard
where
they
all
come
together
and
when
the
intersection
was
kind
of
redone
and
widened
a
lot
of
the
old
drainage
infrastructure
sort
of
left.
AI
So
that
should
provide
some
short-term
again
drainage
improvements
in
the
area
and
it'll
allow
our
our
engineering
firm
to
come
in
and
do
a
more
detailed
investigation
of
the
condition
of
those
pipes
and
how
they
all
interconnect,
which
is
sort
of
a
missing
piece
of
records
in
the
area
for
taking
back
to
finalize
their
computer
modeling
for
the
improvement
recommendations
within
that
basin
as
well.
There's
a
good
example
of
a
couple
of
entities
working
well
together
to
kind
of
leverage,
each
other's
resources,
the
dupont,
wapu
improvement
projects.
AI
AI
We've
come
up
with
a
plan
in
the
short
run,
to
potentially
replace
one
of
the
dewatering
pumps
as
well,
so
we
have
2d
watering
pumps
that
are
having
some
reliability
issues.
That'll,
give
us
some
some
more
consistent
reliability
currently
and
allow
us
to
basically
optimize
our
eventual
replacement
of
the
rest
of
the
the
pump
system
as
part
of
the
subfit.

for
the
townhome

as
well
as
some
of
the
other
property
acquisitions,
we're
considering
in
the
area
we're
trying
to
basically
bring
those
up
to
a
slightly
more
complete
level.
So
we
can
start
our
community
outreach
program
and
again
gathering
some
priorities
for
residents.
What
they'd
like
to
see
in
some
of
those
project
approaches
in
the
area,
the
limehouse,
brick

rehabilitation,
pellet
project
we've
been
basically
starting.
AI
Our
cleaning
from
trad
street
going
north
we've
completed
about
300
feet
of
cleaning
already
and
restoration
on
that
project.
That's
actually
been
going
very
well
we're
gonna
finish
up
this.
This
existing
roughly
400
foot,
section
that'll
kind
of
complete
the
first
micro
phase
of
that
restoration
project
other
than
we've
already
cleaned
to
the
south
of
trad
it'll.
Allow
us
to
start
setting
up
then
design
work
for
the
next
section
and
we'll
keep
moving
north
phase
by

The
state
is
reviewing
the
recommendation
there,
though
the
minor
minor
changes
that
our
legal
had
recommended
within
the
easement
documents.
We're
expecting
to
get
that
back
quickly,
so
that
hopefully
musc's
board
can
then
sign
off
and
approve
on
the
final
easements,
and
that
will
take
care
of
basically
all
of
the
preparatory
work
in
the
project
and
let
us
move
into
basically
into
a
bid
phase
for
the
project,
potentially,
rather
than
a
preparatory
phase.
A
Mr
chairman,
I
I'm
very
pleased
to
to
let
council
know
if
you
hadn't
heard
yet
I
got
a
call
from
governor
mcmaster
about
11
o'clock
this
morning,
letting
me
know
that
we
had
been
approved
our
grant
application
to
the
cdbg
mitigation
funds
that
the
state
received.
In
fact,
our
application
was
ranked
number
one
of
of
those
that
were
reviewed
and
he
announced
to
me
that
we
will
be
receiving
9.9
almost
10
million
dollars
so
that
we
can
complete
the
earhart
tunnel
extension
which
will
serve
about
35
acres
of
the
hospital
district.
A
So
I'm
just
thrilled
that
that
he
he
followed
through
on
that
commitment
and
well,
he
put
it
in
the
state
budget
last
year,
but
with
covert.
It
didn't
end
up
happening,
so
this
was
his
second
best
opportunity
to
make
it
happen,
and
he
did
so.
Thank
you,
governor
mcmaster,
when,
when
y'all
see
him,
please
pass
your
thanks
to
him.
It's
it's
really
a
a
was
a
great
announcement
today
for
that
project.
AI
There's
still
a
couple
more,
the
the
mueller
drive
drainages
meant
just
very
briefly,
we're
working
to
modify
the
the
ditch
to
improve
flow
to
the
northwest
on
that
project.
We're
also
contracting
to
clean
the
pipe
system
that
flows
to
the
north
after
the
the
ditch
sort
of
ends
into
the
public
right-of-way.
We
think
that'll
provide
some
additional
relief
to
drainage
in
the
area.
AI
AI
We
finished
our
initial
modeling
work
and
the
surveying
that
went
into
that
with
our
consulting
firm.
We
actually
did
come
up
with
a
really.
I
think,
a
really
elegant
set
of
draft
recommendations
that
basically
involve
some
some
major
rehabilitation
work
to
improve
hydraulics
in
the
area.
Primarily
that
looks
like
we
could
avoid
turning
that
into
a
major
capital
project.
There
were
some
concerns,
originally
that
would
end
up
being
a
multi-million
dollar
capital
project
as
well
due
to
some
of
the
constraints
of
working
between
old
town,
road
and
that
shopping
center.
AI
AI
Yes,
yeah-
that
was
one
of
the
small
project
allocations,
of
course,
from
the
previous
fiscal
year.
Some
of
these
fall
under
the
the
other
side.
West
pawnee
place
bamboo
area,
drainage,
evaluation
that
that
modeling
work
is
also
completely
driving
modeling
work.
We
do
need
to
reach
back
out
with
the
residents
in
that
area
to
true
some
of
our
modeling.

At
this
point,
they're
curbing
they've
been
working
to
install
their
asphalt
kind
of
dodging
weather
events.
With
this
nice
run
of
weather,
we
should
have
that
they
should
have
that
finished
up.
I
think
relatively
soon,
and
we
will
see,
I
think,
from
the
work
they're
doing.
I
think
we
will
see
some
significant
improvements
in
the
short
term.
AI
I
think
there's
still
a
lot
of
value
in
the
the
knee
wall
approach,
that
is,
the
city
project
for
preventing
those
larger
tidal
events
from
kind
of
having
so
much
water
come
through
the
neighborhoods
and
through
that
system.
But
this
will
help
the
area
drain
out
much
quicker
after
after
larger
events
after
rainfall
events
and
it
will
prevent
some
of
these
smaller
tidal
events
from
impacting
the
system
which
does
reduce
flood
frequency,
which
is
still
a
pretty
strong
benefit
for
the
area
that
that
is
the
end
of
our
report.
Mayor

The
first
item
was
approval
to
submit
a
letter

This
is
a
pledge

no
no
cost
actions
for
police
departments
to
improve
the
representation
of

it's
not
only
recruitment
making

that
they
are
promoted
properly
and
adequately.
F
The
second
item
of
business
was
a
law
enforcement
assistance,
support
agreement
with
york,
county
sheriff's
department,
a
rather
detailed
document
addressing
the
rights
and
responsibilities
between
the
sheriff's
department
of
york,
county
and
the
charleston
police
department.
But
mainly
this
is
to
address
the
issues
of
child
exploitation.
F
The
other
item
was
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
the
department,
the
bureau
of
alcohol,
tobacco
and
firearms
to
participate
in
the
national
ballistic
information.
So
as
as
you
may
know
that,
when
a
a
a
shale
is
discharged
by
a
firearm,
a
pistol
revolver
even
a
long
gun,
it
has
certain
markings
on
it
when
it
is
discharged.
F
We
would
recommend
items
three,
four
and
five
be
approved
by
this
council
item
number.
Six
is
the
real
good
news:
we
are
a
whisper
away
from
occupying
and
getting
a
certificate
of
occupancy
for
fire
station
number
11..
As
you
know,
we
have
been
dragging
through
this
station
for
well
beyond
the
deadline.
F
When
this
place
would
this
facility
should
have
been
completed,
but
hopefully,
after
we
get
a
traffic
kit
of
occupancy
chief
courier
and
his
team
will
need
some
time
to
set
up
shop
so
to
speak
in
there
and
hopefully
that
everything
is
good
and
done
by
early
summer,
councilmember
seeking
had
a
suggestion
that
we
hold
one
of
our
public
safety
meetings.
There.
Maybe
we'll
hold
one
of
our
full
council
meetings
in
the
bay
area
of
that
station.
F
F
F
D
A
Any
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
right,
you
oppose
the
eyes,
have
it
next.
We
have
bills
up
for
second
reading,
we
have
seven
items.
Number
seven
is
a
matter
of
the
code
of
conduct
that
I
think
there's
some
amendments
to
so
could
I
entertain
a
motion.
We
take
one
through
six
together.
I
A
Close
the
eyes
have
it
now
for
third
reading
and
radical
move
one
through
six,
any
discussion
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
aye,
aye,
aye
close
the
eyes
have
it,
and
now
we
have
item
number
seven.
Maybe
mr
mcqueeny
would
come
back
on
and
explain
to
us
the
suggestions
he
got
from
a
number
of
council
members
since
our
last
meeting
and
kind
of
where
we
are
now
with
it.
AH
AH
I
see
that
he's
still
in
line
sorry
matt,
so,
okay,
the
I'm
gonna,
do
my
share
screen
matt
usually
gives
back
to
me
as
much
as
I
give
him
and
more
so
the
amendments
I'm
going
to
show
you
in
red
line
what
the
changes
were
from
the
last
meeting,
which
you've
already
seen
those
have
been
posted
to
the
the
website.
This
is
very
fancy.
AH
AH
I
did
that
it's
actually
not
written.
I
didn't
see
it
written
anywhere
in
our
code.
The
first
half
I
think,
I've
I've
mentioned
it
to
people
previously.
The
first
half
is
required
by
the
constitution
for
all
public
officials,
including
officials
and
political
subdivisions.
The
second
half
is
required
by
a
state
statute
and
same
oath
applies
to
the
mayor
and
council
members.
You
just
substitute
council,
member
or
mayor
for
whoever
saying
it.
AH
AH
Probably
the
most
debate
will
be
about
the
voting
requirements,
but
you
know
so
I've
shown
in
red
line
the
changes
I
made,
which
you
all
have
seen.
I
believe
councilmember
waring,
has
suggested
a
two-thirds
vote
in
order
to
set
a
disciplinary
hearing.
Council
member
shade
suggested
a
simple
majority
vote.
I
believe
I
want
to
speak
for
them.
I
think
council,
member
del
chapo
and
councilmember
rappel
agree
with
the
simple
majority
vote
and
that's
where
that
portion
of
it
stands
I'm
going
to
just
go
through,
and
then
we
can
do
whatever
votes.
AH
U
AH
The
ability
to
sanction
you
for
it
or
if
you
commit
a
serious
violation,
I
highlighted
where
the
voting
requirements
are
listed,
so
that
is
easy
to
for
you
all
to
address
whether
it
be
three-fourths,
two-thirds,
simple
majority
in
those
cases
cast
member
shade
suggested,
and
I
think
councilmember
rappel
and
councilmember
del
chapo
agreed
that
the
well.
They
actually
asked
this
question.
I
looked
it
up
in
robert's
rules
and
I've.
Looked
it
up
general
law
and
other
disciplinary
proceedings
just
to
clarify
the
member
is
not
supposed
to
vote.
AH
If
you're
accused
of
something
you're
not
allowed
to
vote
during
your
own,
you
know
on
whether
or
not
to
have
a
disciplinary
hearing,
whether
or
not
you
should
be
disciplined
and
whether
or
not
you're
sanctioned.
I
can't
remember
if
that
came
up
with
a
council
member,
nobody
on
council
now,
but
a
council
member.
A
few
years
ago
we
had
an
issue
arise,
and
I
think
somebody
had
asked
the
question
about
whether
he
could
vote
on
on
whether
or
not
to
proceed,
etc,
but
it
never
got
that
far
and
section
two.
AH
I
changed
it.
This
is
again
councilmember
shade
to
clarify.
That's
been
my
attention
from
the
beginning.
This
is
only
applying
prospectively,
not
retroactively,
we're
not
looking
at
something
somebody
did
two
years
ago
or
or
you
know
any
time
before
or
since
so.
If
anybody
has
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
them.
The
substance
of
the
of
the
code
of
of
conduct
is
the
same.
It's
the
oath
and
not
violating
the.
A
R
R
R
R
R
A
Mr
councilmember,
can
I
just
address
that
point.
This
committee
was
not
appointed.
This
was
a
volunteer
committee,
so
anybody
on
council
is
welcome
to
serve
on
it.
If,
if
you
know,
council
members
del
chapo
and
appel
were
kind
enough
to
volunteer,
as
must
have
been
councilmember
sheely,
but
I
I
didn't
appoint
anyone
and
you
and
it
could
be
a
committee
of
the
whole
if
you
all
want
to
all
get
together
for
another
meeting
of
that
ad
hoc
committee.
R
Well,
mr
mayor,
thank
you
first
time.
This
moment
was
the
first
time
I
heard
that
so
when
the
committee
most
ad
hoc
committees
are
with
the
city
opponents
pardon
my
assuming
that,
but
going
forward
generally
like
to
participate
in
the
community
committee
format,
let's
not
sausage,
on
the
floor
council
today,
let's
do
the
hard
work
in
the
committee
and
and
definitely
when
we
come
back,
we
have
a
ordinance
that
we
all
can
be
support
and
be
proud.
A
Well,
I
I
think
you're
right,
there's
been
a
great
improvement
since
the
last
time
that
there
are
some
decisions
that
need
to
be
made.
Somebody
wanted
two-thirds
somebody
wanted
three-fourths
and
all
like
that.
What
like
that,
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
for
you
all
to
get
together
one
more
time.
Anybody
that
wants
to
participate
can
and
and
bring
it
back.
One
more
time.
Does
that
sound
agreeable
to
everybody,
councilmember
del
shapo.
AJ
N
N
You
you
did
say
it
was
going
to
be
a
voluntary
effort
by
anyone
who
wanted
to
sign
up
to
be
along
with
councilmember
appel
and
del
chapo
to
work
on
this.
So
so
that
is
what
I
know
will
be
on
the
record
in
december.
I
I'm
sort
of
stuck
on
the
word
evidence
based
on
the
evidence
presented
during
the
hearing,
so
when
y'all
are
meeting
about
that,
could
could
we,
I
just
don't
know
what
that
would
look
like
if
we
actually
would
have
some
sort
of
disciplinary
hearing
evidence.
G
Well,
there's
all
kinds
of
evidence:
there's
audio
recordings.
There's
you
know
statements,
there's
testimony,
there's
all
kinds
of
things
that
can
be
evidence
of
a
hearing
like
this,
but
you
know
I
was
just
gonna
say
you
know.
I
think
this
has
been
a
wonderful
collaborative
process.
You
know
keith
you
and
I
spoke
yeah
a
couple
weekends
ago
for
about
an
hour,
and
I
got
to
tell
you.
G
So,
but
but
listen,
let's
get
it
right.
We've
made.
We've
come
this
far
and
and
and
I'll
also
mention
the
person
who
recommended
that
the
mayor
be
taken
out
of
it
was
the
mayor,
and
I
thought
that
was
a
wonderful
recommendation
that
that
he
made,
which
I
think
takes
away
some
of
the
concerns
over.
You
know
potential
politic
politization.
G
X
Thank
you
mayor,
just
a
quick
question,
and
this
is,
you
know,
I
think,
we're
heading
in
the
right
direction
as
well.
But
maybe
this
is
a
procedural
question
for
chip
in
an
effort
to
reduce
any
potential
political
grandstanding
or
using
this
as
a
tool
to
to
to
bring
up
things
that
we
shouldn't
or
in
the
public
realm.
If
it's
a
personnel
issue,
could
that
initial
vote
that
initial
hearing
be
an
executive
session,
thus
eliminating
any
kind
of
like
public
comments
that
folks
pick
up
on
and
take
it
the
wrong
way.
AH
AH
I
read
from
1997
that
suggested
it
really
can
only
be
handled
by
citycam
that
the
kind
of
intent
is
that
you
all
regulate
yourselves
and
in
most
cases
in
many
cases
you
have
qualified
or
or
sometimes
even
absolute
immunity
where
judges
and
others
don't
regulate
you
that
it's
your,
I
won't
say
it's
your
job
to
regulate
yourselves,
but
it's
it's
your
option
to
regulate
yourselves
in
that
respect.
If
it's
a
personnel
matter,
it's
goes
to
the
hr
process,
whether
it's
an
accusation
against
somebody
on
council
or
within
within
the
city
as
an
employee.
AH
F
AH
F
So
I
I
think
what
this
ordinance
does
and
my
hat's
off
to
mrs
mcqueeny
for
serving
as
the
conductor
of
all
of
this
he's
taken
in
a
bunch
of
information
and
questions
and
suggestions
from
several
of
us,
and
I
appreciate
how
he's
trying
to
incorporate
it.
So
I
just
want
to
add
my
comments
on
this.
The
very
first
section
of
striking
out
when
representing
the
city
just
makes
this
this
very
clear
and,
and
that's
sort
of
the
purpose.
I
think
that
we
want
to
operate
on.
F
What
we
can
be
doing,
it
is
very
clear
that
we're
dealing
with
the
oath
period
at
any
point
in
time
that
we
violate
our
oath,
which
is,
according
to
council
members,
he's
added
it
in
there.
It's
right
there
as
clear
as
a
bail,
that's
our
oath.
We
violate
the
oath,
we're
subject
to
to
discipline.
If
you
go
to
the
next
page.
For
me,
mr
mclean,
I
appreciate
it
and
then
the
no,
the
good
of
the
second
page,
one
more
over
yeah.
F
F
R
All
I
wanted
to
do.
Mr
mayor.
I
appreciate
the
deferral
on
everybody's
part:
willingness
miss
del
chapo.
If
I
offended
you
in
any
way,
it
certainly
wasn't
intentional.
I
didn't
realize
that
I
possibly
ever
finished
your
last
meeting
or
anything.
I
may
have
said
this.
I
respect
you
too
much.
I
respect
all
my
colleagues
on
this
council
because
I
know
our
emphasis
are
in
the
right
direction,
trying
to
push
the
city
in
the
direction
that
it
should
go.
So
that's
not
the
intention.
R
I
really
would
value
your
voice
around
the
table.
I
really
do
so.
I
hope
you
would
remain
on
the
on
the
committee.
It
is
not
my
intention
to
offend
you,
you
know.
So
if
I
did,
that
was
not
my
intention
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you
because
your
voice
is
an
important
voice.
Please
please
believe
me
on
this.
One
right
here
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Thank
you,
mr
man.
I
I
Mr
mayor,
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
with
great
trepidation
and
apologies
to
my
fellow
council
members,
because
I
don't
think
in
12
years
I've
ever
spoken
at
the
end
of
a
long
meeting,
and
so
I'm
going
to
do
this
very
quickly
and
I'm
also
going
to
ask
for
a
little
extra
workload.
But
given
what
we
now
know,
mr
mayor
and
fellow
council
members
about
reports
from
the
census
bureau
and
the
work
that
we're
going
to
have
to
do
going
forward
about
setting
up
districts
before
we
have
elections.
I
I
would
humbly
suggest
that,
rather
than
at
a
city
council
meeting,
we
set
up
a
workshop
with
mr
dina
and
you,
mr
mayor,
to
talk
about
what
our
options
might
be
going
forward
in
advance
of
november
and
we're
heading
towards
april,
with
people
having
to
put
in
their
name
and
hats
in
august.
So
I
think
in
the
april
time
frame
it's
probably
a
pretty
good
idea
to
get
us
all
together
with
a
well-publicized
workshop,
with
our
also
ability
to
go
into
executive
session
to
get
legal
advice
from
our
our
team.
A
AC
Just
to
say
that
council
member
seeking
did
reach
out
to
me
earlier
with
the
same
question
and
to
let
him
know
that
we
are
looking
internally
at
what
our
legal
options
are
to
present
to
you
all
april
should
be
a
good
time
frame.
We
also
are
looking
at
what
other
jurisdictions
are
doing,
as
well
as
taking
a
look
at
what
we've
done
historically
in
1990
2000
2010.
AC
If
we've
ever
encountered
this
kind
of
a
situation
which
is
unique
where
the
maps
where
the
data
is
coming
out
so
late,
and
so
what
we'll
be
doing
is
we'll
be
looking
at
what
our
legal
options
are
and
presenting
them
to
you,
which
is
delay
the
election,
not
delay,
and
we
should
be
ready
to
have
a
good
discussion
in
april.
Thank
you
great.
AC
J
J
So
hopefully
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
we'll
have
some
clarity
as
to
if
we're
going
to
get
some
money
back
and
I'd
love
for
that
to
be
on
the
agenda
so
that
we
could
formalize
that
with
an
up
or
down
vote.
As
to
our
council
members
deciding
whether
or
not
we
want
to
put
it
in
a
vote
that
we're
going
to
roll
back
the
taxes
as
soon
as
we
get
the
funding.
A
J
A
N
Thank
you
mayor.
I
I
was
going
to
say
the
same
thing.
My
understanding
is
well
the
bill's
not
passed
yet
or
signed,
so
we
don't
really
know
the
details,
but
what
what
we
know
from
what
the
the
earlier
version
is
that
there's
there
could
be
some
constraints
on
literally
using
our
our
portion
of
whatever
direct
funds
for
to
increase
our
our
tax.
You
know
our
tax
revenue,
so
I
I
do
think
we
need
to
you
know
we
we
don't
want
to
promise
what
we
can't
deliver.
I.
