Description
City of Charleston Committee on Community Development 7/23/2020
B
B
B
C
Mr
chairman,
can
I
share
what
I
thought
was
a
pretty
startling
statistic
regarding
those
in
the
in
the
tri-county
area
or
at
least
charlton
and
berkeley
county
who
who
have
died
from
over
19
so
statewide?
Our
death
total
is
now
over
1200,
almost
1300
in
in
the
low
count
in
charleston
and
berkeley
counties
we're
right
about
97
deaths
now.
But
here
was
a
really
startling
thing
to
me.
Two-Thirds
of
those
deaths
have
occurred
in
the
last
two
weeks.
B
B
D
C
B
B
Okay,
all
right,
so
we
are
following
that
order
and
we'll
keep
it
moving
in
that
order.
So
everyone
knows
exactly
what
they
need
to
do
so
we'll
keep
it
going
from
that
point
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
please
please
raise
your
hands
and
I'll
be
able
to
see
you
if
not
the
american
kind
of
catch
me.
If
I
miss
you,
thank
you.
Okay,
all
right,
we
can
get
started
update
on
junior
study.
F
F
The
boundary
is
actually
a
little
bit
bigger
than
the
drainage
basins
are
themselves
so
that
we
make
sure
we
find
the
exact
edge
of
the
basin
of
what
water
is
going
into
what
location,
but
you
can
see
it's
it's
generally,
this
this
area
with
the
the
redevelopment
center
kind
of
the
redevelopment
zone.
Kind
of
centered
in
the
middle
here
is
the
cooper
river.
The
old
bridge
abutments
it's
about
200
acres
is
the
total
area
we're
looking
at
for
drainage.
So
it's
a
pretty
sizable
section
of
the
peninsula.
F
We're
currently
doing
model
building
we're.
Basically,
we've
we've
been
collecting
data.
We
go
through
soils,
data
land
use
data,
we've
done
field,
reviews
of
the
infrastructure
system
with
our
consultant,
aecom
and
they'll
basically
take
those
field
reviews
to
go
back
and
do
survey
work.
We've
also
incorporated
plan
developments
both
recently
built
developments,
as
well
as
the
permitted,
but
in
construction
or
in
the
immediate
future
of
construction
to
incorporate
into
the
model.
F
F
So
just
very
briefly,
when
we're
looking
at
model
building
for
improvements,
we're
looking
at
this
similar
to
issue
actually
the
other
evening
and
another
basin
we're
doing
similar
to
this,
we
look
at
three
different
impacts
of
flooding.
We
look
at
maximum
depth
of
flooding,
basically,
what's
the
deepest
inundation
we
experience
and
that
matters
for
structural
damage,
obviously
as
well
as
for
car
and
emergency
vehicle
traffic,
but
we
also
look
at
duration
of
flooding,
so
we
want
to
know
not
just
how
deep
does
the
water
stay?
So
you
can
see
on
the
right.
F
These
are
from
a
different
study
we've
done
recently,
but
this
is
the
modeling
we'll
be
doing
in
this
area
as
well,
where
you
can
see
the
red,
the
red
lines,
kind
of
show
what
the
peak
was
kind
of
pre-improvement
in
this
basin.
The
green
lines
show
what
the
water
levels
are
following
improvements
and
the
the
left
axis
is
how
high
the
water
gets.
The
right
axis
is
how
how
long
you've
gone
from
a
zero
point
in
the
storm.
So
in
these
you
can
see
the
improvements
in
this
project
of
this
other
basin.
F
We
were
able
to
reduce
duration
of
flooding
very
significantly,
even
in
areas
where
it
was
hard
to
reduce
the
peak
depth
of
flooding.
So
that's
still
still
something
to
be
aware
of,
and
then
the
final
one
is
frequency
of
flooding
that
we
talk
a
lot
about
nuisance,
flooding
and
sunny
day
flooding.
You
know,
having
two
or
three
inches
of
water
in
the
street
is
a
nuisance.
If
it
happens
once
or
twice
a
year,
it's
a
different
type
of
issue.
If
it
happens
every
day
or
if
it
happens,
every
time
we
get
a
thunderstorm.
F
So
there's
a
frequency
issue
that
we
look
at
as
well
scheduling
wise.
So
far
again,
we,
as
I
mentioned,
we've
completed
reviewing
the
infrastructure
records
all
the
data
that
we
had
available
from
the
84
study
that
cws
has
available
from
work.
They've
done
in
the
area
reviewed
the
site
as
built
permitted
plans
for
the
developments
that
have
gone
into
the
basin.
F
We've
performed
a
series
of
site
visits
with
our
consultant
at
this
point
and
done
a
field
evaluation
to
see
what
we
need
to
do
for
modeling,
so
over
the
next
nine
months,
we'll
be
doing
some
systematic
cleaning
of
the
system.
One
of
the
things
we
saw
with
the
some
of
the
field
evaluation
is
there
still
are
a
number
of
pipes
within
this
system
that
are
pretty
badly
clogged
and
are
not
functioning
very
well.
F
So
we'll
need
to
get
those
cleaned
out
both
for
short-term
functionality,
as
well
as
for
being
able
to
complete
survey,
work
in
the
area
and
then
they'll
be
moving
in
with
field
survey.
Crews
that'll
be
starting
relative
in
the
relatively
immediate
future,
going
out
and
taking
actual
survey
shots
to
finalize
the
model.
They'll
build
that
computer
model
out
of
that
data
and
then
use
the
model
to
evaluate
the
different
improvement
project
concepts
that
we'll
come
up
with
and
then
we'll
circle
back
around
with
the
community
and
get
some
engagement
on
here
are
different
options.
F
F
I
just
do
want
to
mention
too
that
this
with
the
new
stormwater
manual,
the
the
basin,
is
been
identified,
obviously
as
a
special
protection
area,
an
area
of
known
flooding.
So
the
new
manual
will
account
for
any
new
developments
that
come
in
the
area
having
to
deal
with
a
regional
approach
to
stormwater
standards,
where
they
have
to
assess
how
those
developments
will
impact
the
potential
for
flooding
in
the
community.
F
E
Mitchell,
may
I
add
please
especially
for
our
new
council
members.
This
was
approved
in
part
of
the
original
tif
strategies
that
cd
committee
and
city
council
approved
late
2018,
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
you
all
aware
that
that
is
where
this
came
from
and
that
the
funding
for
this
study
than
matt
and
his
team
are
implementing
literally
came
from
the
approval
of
the
tif
dollars
and
that's
an
item
that
we'll
discuss
further
on
the
agenda.
Thank
you.
G
So
thank
you,
councilmember
and
members
of
the
committee.
This
is
going
to
be
a
brief
presentation
with
two
parts:
the
first
an
overview
of
progress
in
the
cooper
river
bridge
area.
Just
an
update-
and
the
second
part
is
before
this
meeting
is
over
we'd
like
to
ask
you
all
for
a
vote
to
endorse
the
current
plan
for
this
project.
If
you
all
see
fit
and
you
you
think
it's
the
right
approach
and
that
will
help
give
a
directive
to
staff
to
move
forward
in
all
the
different
parts
of
it.
G
G
G
We
started
planning
efforts.
The
downtown
plan
in
1999
did
a
plan
for
this,
which
of
course,
didn't
take
the
drainage
into
account
at
all
right
and
then
in
2002
we
looked
at
what
it
might
become.
2004
we
did
a
one
design
did
another
design.
This
was
one
of
the
first
projects
I
worked
on
at
the
city.
When
I
was
an
intern
back
in
the
day
in
2011,
we
did
a
new
design
2013.
We
did
it
again
2014
we
did
it
again,
15
17..
We
did
it
again.
G
G
We
we
took
this
to
the
bloomberg,
harvard
city
leadership
initiative,
a
group
that
just
went
to
new
york
and
we're
really
focused
right
now
on
delivering
affordable
housing
here
and,
as
you
all
know,
this
is
getting
done
now.
Let's
quickly
orient
you
south
here
in
this
image.
So
if
you
all
can
see
my
cursor
over
here
to
the
to
your
left,
you
will
see
south
carolina
state
which
of
course,
is
under
construction
right
now
believe
we
got
that
done.
Yep
very.
G
So
that's
under
construction,
then
we
have
some
cleared
land
through
here.
This
highlighted
site
in
yellow,
which
we'll
talk
about
the
grace
homes
substantially
built
today
and
a
future
site
which
is
owned
by
mr
patel.
That
may
become
a
hotel
sometime
in
the
future.
This
is
the
current
status
of
a
phase,
one
of
the
river
bridge
area.
G
G
As
you
all
know,
this
was
an
area
that
we
focused
on
with
our
dutch
partners,
as
well
with
the
wagner
and
ballard
connection
ones.
All
this
area
in
blue
is
under
six
feet,
so
this
area
is
very
floody.
You
all
know
that
our
dutch
partners
looked
at
it
and
said
we
need
a
different
approach
and
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
taking
care
of
the
water
on
site.
They
studied
it
and
they
said.
Look
you
guys
need
some
open
water
storage,
so
we
think
those
folks
know
what
they're
doing
we
trust
them.
G
So
we
then
went
back
and
redesigned
the
master
plan.
This
was
produced
by
the
design
division,
mr
davis
and
his
team,
and
this
is
the
first
plan
of
all
the
plans
we
have
done.
That
is
right.
It
has
the
water
in
the
right
place.
It
helps
to
reduce
flooding
in
conjunction
with
matt's
work
that
he
just
talked
to
you
about.
G
It
gets
our
affordable
housing
done.
Everything
is
in
the
right
place
for
the
very
first
time
and
that's
why
we're
going
to
ask
for
y'all
to
look
over
this
and
endorse
this?
If
you
see
fit
to
give
us
a
vote
that
can
direct
us
to
go
and
put
in
all
the
remaining
pieces
to
this
project
now,
just
to
kind
of
briefly
orient
you
to
this
and
I'm
going
to
go
to
my
next
slide.
G
G
So
maybe
just
one
last
thing
on
this
very
important:
there
are
many
different
properties
shown
here
on
this
master
plan.
Some
of
them
are
owned
by
us.
Others
are
owned
by
other
people
and
we
have
an
opportunity
right
now
related
to
a
land,
swap
that
will
help
us
achieve
the
goals
that
are
drawn
here
in
this
master
plan
that
reduce
flooding
and
help
us
build
more
affordable
housing.
G
G
Everybody
can
see
that
and
with
that,
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
introduce
mr
davis,
who
gianna
picked
up
earlier
alan.
If
you
want
to
jump
on
and
gianna.
If
you
want
to
add
in
anything
here
as
well
I'll,
let
alan
kind
of
introduce
this
opportunity,
and
then
we
can
talk
about
this
land
swap
going
forward.
H
Pattern
that
we've
created
we're
implementing
that
linear
park
with
grace
homes
and
we're
implementing
that
linear
park
with
louis
apartments
and
that
park
is
also
one
of
the
line
items
in
the
tif
district
that
is
funded
for
improvements,
so
that'll
become
a
more
unified
system
and
south
carolina
state
is
also
fronting
onto
that.
Linear
feature,
that's
generally
where
the
high
ground
is
in
these
two
blocks,
and
so
through
through
whatever
communication
channels.
H
For
additional
density
and
also
properly
given
the
proper
height
district
for
the
additional
density,
and
then
we
would
take
on
the
the
lower
lying
areas
that
are
in
the
middle
of
the
block
and
and
the
church
property
itself.
Again,
you
know
being
better
stewards
for
the
for
the
region
or
for
the
district
to
better
manage
water
and
implement
the
dutch
dialogues
recommendations.
H
G
E
E
They
have
under
contract,
as
alan
indicated
three
parcels
and
what
they
would
like
to
do
is
literally
in
concert
and
collaboration
with
the
city
swap
out
the
properties
that
the
city
owns
that
are
on
high
land,
for
the
properties
that
they
currently
under
that
they
currently
have
under
contract.
The
idea
being.
They
would
then
build
additional,
affordable
housing
on
the
sites
that
the
city
owns,
and
so
we
would
certainly
seek
city
committees,
approval
of
that
as
well.
E
They
have
secured
appraisals
for
the
sites
that
they
own,
all
of
them,
are
in
excess
of
400
000.
Our
real
estate
director
is
securing
appraisals
on
the
property.
The
city
owns
that
such
that,
hopefully
in
the
near
term,
within
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
This
is
a
matter
that
we
can
present
to
real
estate
and
city
council
such
that
again
we're
developing
additional,
affordable
housing
in
the
community
and
we're
addressing
the
stormwater
issues
that
was
brought
forward
by
the
dutch
dialogues.
I
I
couldn't
tell
thank
you
for
for
having
us
on
this
call
and
we're
really
excited
about
this
opportunity.
Rosie
has
been
looking
at
properties
in
this
area
for
affordable
housing
and
has
been
working
with
the
the
church
there
and
the
owner
of
the
other
parcels,
and
so
it's
been
a
great
collaboration
with
the
city
staff,
and
I
think
it's
been
fun
to
to
look
at
these,
and
how
can
we,
both
the
city
and
humanities
foundation,
have
a
win-win
with
more
affordable
housing
and
with
more
land
for
drainage?
I
We're
looking
at
potentially
it'll
be
depending
on
whether
we
can
build
on
this
the
red
area,
that
is
the
boot
that
now
has
water.
If
we
could
add
some
units
there,
that
would
give
us
probably
around
80
units
altogether
on
those
parcels,
if
not,
it
would
probably
be
around
60
60
to
65,
affordable
units
for
seniors
is
what
we're
looking
at,
so
we're
excited
about
it
and
we've
enjoyed
working
with
the
city
on
it
and
look
forward
to
pulling
this
together.
B
D
B
D
I
D
Well,
the
only
reason
I
raised
the
question
is
you
know,
concentrations
of
affordable
units
are
sometimes
frowned
upon
and
the
more
mix
of
market
in
there
that
we
can.
I
think
the
elderly
piece
is
a
good
piece,
but
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
establishing
concentrations
that
over
time
could
be
problematic.
I
And
I
will
say
that
the
the
state
has
the
option
to
do
income
averaging
on
all
of
their
affordable
programs
now,
and
they
are
really
not
taking
advantage
of
that.
You
can
go
up
to
80
with
their
tax
credit
program
now
and
I
think
they're
they're,
just
north
carolina,
georgia
virginia
everybody's,
utilizing
that
it's
a
great
program
and
we've
really
had
trouble
getting
them
to
go
ahead
and
put
that
program
into
place.
I
C
So
councilmember
gregory-
if
I
may
add
another
observation,
you
see
those
four
units
on
aitkin
street,
frankly,
they're
not
under
our
control
or
humanities
foundation,
they're,
they're,
being
privately
developed
right
now
and
and
those
units
will
be
at
a
market
rate.
So
so
I
I
think
it's
just
the
the
nature
of
development
that
you're
going
to
have
some
infill
market
market
price
development.
Don't
y'all
think
so
I
mean
we're
seeing
it
right
now.
E
Into
the
mayor's
point,
literally
surrounding
this
cooperative
redevelopment
area
on
the
corner
of
lee
and
meeting
and
on
the
corner
of
walnut
and
meeting,
there
are
also
mu2
or
mixed
use,
developments
there,
and
primarily
both
of
those
developments
or
almost
all
of
those
developments
in
the
area
have
chosen
the
fee
in
lieu
option.
I
believe
at
the
corner
of
meeting
in
lee.
B
Think
I
think
what
councilman
gregory
is
saying
here
we
don't
want
to.
We
don't
want
to
make
another
area.
That
would
be
all
all
you
know
really
too
affordable
and
we
we
end
up
with
another
problem
area
to
me.
So
that's
what
that's
what
we're
looking
at
playing!
All
these
you
know
housing,
that's
really
going
to
be
on
the
low-income
side,
if
you
may
in
one
area
as
we
have,
because
you
know
we
have
public
housing
right
across
from
it.
B
B
I
Another
another
idea
that
we've
had
if
between
the
archer
school
and
this
development,
we
could
potentially
work
with
either
don
in
the
city
or
joseph
floyd
manor
to
provide
replacement
housing
for
some
of
those
developments
that
will
be
redeveloped
and
adding
mixed
income
in
those.
So
it
could
be
an
opportunity
with
two
developments
coming
online
similar
times
we
could.
We
could
provide
some
help
with
that.
J
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
very
exciting.
I
you
know
it's
like
opening
up
your
christmas
tree
and
seeing
all
the
presents
already
there,
so
I
get
to
do
at
least
half
of
them.
I
I
would
totally
support
the
conversation
about
trying
to
make
as
much
of
this
as
a
mixed
income
areas
as
possible.
I
do
think
that'll
stand
the
test
of
time
and
certainly
bring
on
more
opportunity
from
the
private
side.
J
I'm
sure
you've
been
looking
under
rocks
miss
doran
over
the
years,
but
it
does
seem
like
time
is
ripe
in
the
country
and
in
the
way
that
investors
are
thinking
about
underdeveloped
areas
like
this,
that
you
know
really
been
just
skipped
over
in
in
metropolitan
areas
that
are
popular
for
all
the
other
reasons,
so
I
I
really
do
think
that
we
would
have
a
lot
of
that.
That
is
one
question
I
have.
Is
this
an
opportunity
zone
this
this
area
of
the
city.
E
J
G
J
B
G
G
I
will
say
that,
as
you
see
on
this
plan,
we're
showing
the
majority
of
that
area
to
be
dedicated
for
handling
water
and
then
maybe
we
can
get
some
additional
development
on
that.
The
high
portions
of
that,
but
we
do
need
that
parking
to
go
to
another
site
over
time
in
order
to
realize
this
master
plan,
that's
very
important
for
us.
Of
course,
we
also
need
to
make
sure
we're
taking
care
of
the
parking
for
the
the
cigar
factory.
That's
important
too!
G
So
that's
something
we
are
thinking
about
just
to
to
be
clear
about
that.
We
know
that.
That's
something
that's
got
to
change
and
it's
important
that
we
get
it
done
so
I
might
go
to.
I
might
go
to
matt
if
you're
on
with
us,
to
answer
the
the
details
about
the
about
the
lease
or
to
lee
bailey,
if
you're
with
us.
K
K
B
It
was
cooper
and
meeting
street
right
where
we
have
that
little
area
where
people
parked
to
go
on
the
bridge
that
they
could
have
built
a
small
small
garage
there,
because
it's
not
really
right
in
the
communities
on
the
back
side
of
the
community,
and
that
would
help
them
with
the
we
would
own
it.
But
they
would
help
the
parking.
B
The
cigar
factory
would
have
at
least
a
little
parking
and,
if
we'd
be
able
to
maintain
that
particular
property
back,
and
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
we
were
talking
about
way
back
when
and
even
with
council,
and
so
that
they
were
looking
at
that
and
looking
at
trident
tech
at
the
time
at
an
open
area
off
of
columbus
street
to
see
if
they
could
get
protect,
to
try
to
do
some
parking
garage
during
that
time,
but
it
never
came
through.
So
when
they
told
us
for
the
10
years.
B
I
almost
jumped
out
of
my
seat
because
I
didn't
know
it
was
10
years
lease
on
that
particular
property.
When
we
fought
so
hard
to
have
the
d.o.t,
you
know
turn
those
property
over
to
us,
but
I
say:
is
it?
What
is
what
was
at
the
time?
So
that's
why
I
wanted
to
ask
because
the
last
thing
I
heard
it
was
a
10
year
lease,
but
I
didn't
know
it
was
two
different
leases
on
it
either.
B
So
that's
what
I
wanted
to
find
out,
because
we
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
these
properties
and
designated
for
what
it
was
planned
for
and
that's
what
I'm
going
to
make
sure
of
that
and
that's
my
dilemma
on
it,
because
all
is
the
district
I
represent,
and
also
with
even
all
this
development
going
on.
I
was
I'm
asking
that
you
also
get
in
touch
with
the
eastside
neighborhood
association
president
to
form
to
inform
them
of
inform
her,
so
they
can
form
the
community,
because
you
know
be
happy.
B
B
You
know
if
you're
made
and
they
didn't
know
anything
about
it-
they'll
come
and
jump
on
me
and
I'll
get
beat
up
in
the
community.
I
don't
want
that
to
happen
either.
So
one
of
those
type
things
we
have
to
make
sure
that
they
are
being
informed
of
these
things,
even
if
they
send
them
something
a
letter
or
something
and
let
them
know
what
is
going
to
be
transpiring.
K
And
councilman
all
I
can
really
say
about
the
two
separate
leases
in
the
in
this
part
of
the
time
frame.
I
can
only
assume
the
time
frame
is
probably
because,
as
a
cigar
factory
is
being
developed,
probably
a
partial
opening
and
needing
to
meet
certain
parking
needs
and
jacob
can
probably
talk
more
to
the,
and
my
understanding
is
that
10
years
is
a
minimum
requirement
needed
to
meet
your
parking
zoning
requirements.
Okay,.
G
If
I
can
just
briefly
briefly
summarize
and
then
I'll
kick
it
back
to
you,
this
master
plan,
should
you
all
choose
endorse.
This
would
help
to
give
us.
I
would
justify
our
work
really
to
do
three
things.
The
first
is
pursue
the
land,
swap
that
you
all
just
reviewed
with
the
humanities
foundation,
which
would
take
these
properties
where
you
see
the
the
orange
buildings
here,
number
five
and
swap
those
out
for
the
properties
where
you
see
the
the
water
drawn
right.
G
G
Second
thing
is
that
it
would
allow
us
to
go
ahead
and
start
thinking
about
the
future
phases
where
the
parking
is
now
which
you
were
just
mentioning
council
member,
and
that
may
mean
working
on
a
parking
structure
on
the
trident
tech
site,
just
taking
care
of
those
things
so
that
we
tee
up
the
future
phase
and
then
three
any
other
work.
That
needs
to
be
done
here
if
we
need
to
initiate
rezonings
and
bring
those
to
council
or
take
other
steps
to
realize
this
plan.
G
B
D
D
G
Is
if
I'll
I'll
answer
that,
just
very
briefly,
council
member,
the
we've
talked
about
the
idea
of
commercial
in
the
ground
levels
of
the
projects
that
grace
homes
that
don
is
currently
working
on,
as
well
as
in
the
james
lewis
apartment
and
in
both
cases.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
the
developers
said:
they're,
those
are
places
they're,
not
really
on
main
streets
and
they
might
not
support
ground
level.
Retail.
G
We
do
still
have
the
option
to
put
some
ground
level
retail,
I
believe
in
one
of
the
corner
units
of
the
james
lewis,
apartments
you
know
for
retail
to
survive
it
kind
of
wants
to
be
either
on
meeting
or
on
east
bay
toward
the
main
ends.
This
is
kind
of
interior
to
a
neighborhood,
but
with
that
said,
there's
nothing
stopping
that
from
happening
and
if
there's
a
a
corner,
united
store
or
a
smaller
kind
of
use
that
might
be
able
to
go
into
a
ground.
L
G
We're
all
open
to
that
and
I
think,
there's
a
place
to
do
it.
It's
really
just
a
question
of,
would
it
would
it
survive
being
interior
to
a
neighborhood?
It
kind
of
commercial
naturally
wants
to
be
on
the
main
streets,
but
there's
nothing
stopping
us
from
doing
that
and
if
you
all
have
any
good
ideas
you
could.
Certainly,
you
know
include
that
in
your
vote
on
the
district.
D
G
Noted
council
member
great-
and
we
could
talk
with
ruth
jordan
in
my
department,
about
potentially
linking
in
some
of
our
procurement
to
make
sure
that
we
were
connecting
with
the
right
folks.
You
know
so
that
would
be
a
great
idea
if
we
could
employ
the
folks
who
live
in
and
around
here.
In
this
work,
noted
and-
and
we
can
work
on
that-
thank
you,
yeah,
okay,.
J
C
B
J
M
B
D
B
B
E
Sure-
and
I'm
gonna
ask
to
speak
to
this,
but
before
the
mayor
speaks,
I
would
just
remind
the
committee
that
matt
frolick,
our
deputy
cfo,
provided
us
a
list
of
the
cooper
river
bridge
tiff
projects
that
was
approved
by
city
committee
and
city
council
back
in
2018
correct
tonight.
We're
going
to
propose
a
few
changes
to
that
mayor.
Are
you
wanting
to
have
that
lead
that
discussion,
sir.
C
C
But
apparently
the
budget
for
the
project
is
such
that
mr
cronsberg
who's
on
vacation
this
week
and
couldn't
be
with
us
for
this
meeting,
he's
he's
a
little
tight
on
replacing
the
playground
equipment.
He
was
going
to
originally
take
it
from
a
different
account
for
playground
equipment
about
eighty
thousand
dollars.
C
But
we
never
came
up
with
a
project
yet
for
hampstead
park
and
and
then
we
we
have
a
little
bit
of
a
disagreement
with
the
school
district,
even
about
ownership
of
the
park.
So
I
was
going
to
suggest
that
council
approve
us
moving
80
000
from
that
152
over
to
saint
julian
devine,
so
that
we
can
complete
all
together
the
renovation
and
revitalization
of
saint
julian
devine,
including
the
playground
and
get
that
done
all
at
one
time
and
then,
when
we
come
back
to
do
hempstead
square.
C
C
D
B
Yeah
we
we
just
just
have
to
let
them
know
that
we
are
not
stopping
with
hampstead
square
and
we
just
moving
along
with
julian
devine,
since
it's
already
in
process
and
is
close
to
being
finished
if
you
may,
but
we
are
still
dealing
with
hampstead
square
and
we
are
still
going
to
be
doing
some
things
there
because
they
were.
They
were
talking
about
that
over
and
over
again
with
the
hampstead
square.
He
even
wanted
me
to
raise
the
phillips
on
the
statue
a
little
higher.
B
C
C
C
B
B
C
B
That's
the
little
park
next
to
the
old
phrases
school
right,
that's
correct!
And
that's
that's
a
big
conservation!
Controversial
item.
So
that's
going
to
take
a
while
you're
going
to
have
to
work
on
that
because
every
some
people
want
dog
parks.
Some
people
want
this
and
people
in
the
area
don't
want
the
dog
park
in
front
of
their
house.
So
it's
a
it's
a
big
problem
with
that
particular
there's,
a
big
problem
with
that
particular
piece.
You
know
it's
going
to.
C
Leave:
let's
leave
that
there,
where
it
is,
we
got
enough
of
a
balance,
so
the
other
request
is
for
the
low
country
low
line,
and
we
had
talked
at
the
recreation
committee
about
trying
to
find
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
them
this
year
and
by
the
way
I
got
a
report
from
them.
Last
friday
they
have,
remarkably,
with
the
help
of
alan
davis
and
in
our
planning
department,
made
great
strides
on
the
design.
C
They're
fully
engaged
right
now,
with
the
with
engagement
with
the
communities
and
the
neighborhoods
getting
input
about
the
the
design
and
the
direction
on
other
news.
We
we
got
a
a
more
favorable
environmental
report
that
I
expected.
We
haven't
heard
back
from
d
heck
yet,
but
but
we
were
pleased
that
that
the
the
testing
wasn't
as
bad
as
we
thought
it
might
be,
and
and
we've
made
additional
progress
with
the
dot.
C
Finally,
for
our
lease
agreement
for
the
their
property
underneath
I-26,
we
still
got
enough
another
hurdle
to
go,
but
we
really
made
some
progress
with
them.
So
all
that
put
together,
we,
we,
the
low
line,
is
really
making
some
some
fine
progress
and
I
think
it's
appropriate
to
help
fund
them.
Most
of
the
low
line
is
in
this
tif
district
or
a
good
portion
of
it,
and
since,
as
I
mentioned,
keith
was
so
capable
to
help
save
us.
I
think
425
000
from
the
brigade
street
bikeway
project.
C
N
J
Thank
you.
I
support
all
of
the
changes
that
the
mayor's
proposing,
but
talking
about
the
low
line
just
reminded
me
that
I
was
going
to
suggest
to
to
you
and
miss
shaw
johnson,
that
we
asked
to
have
the
complete
low
line
presentation.
I
sat
in
on
the
uli
presentation.
It
takes
an
hour,
so
you
could,
probably
you
know,
make
it
much
more
summary
oriented
to
us,
but
it
really
is
coming
along
in
terms
of
a
mind
catching
opportunity
to
really
serve
the
community
all
around
the
low
line.
J
I
know
everyone's
been,
you
know,
rightfully,
concerned
about
what
it
would
do
to
property
values
and
the
gentrification
aspects
of
this
part
of
the
city,
but
they've
been
very
thoughtful
about
that.
The
variety
of
stakeholders
that
are
now
you
know
working
on
the
vision,
mr
davis,
has
done
an
amazing
job,
so
I
really
do
think
it
would
encourage
all
of
us
if
we
could
have
a
presentation
from
uli
whenever
it's
appropriate.
That
just
reminded
me,
as
the
mayor
was
talking.
D
D
B
I
would
agree
with
that.
I
think
the
community
have
to
buy
into
it,
because
if
not
we'll
have
more
problems-
and
we
don't
need
that
so
because
it's
going
to
be
right
next
to
these
particular
communities
and
just
to
make
sure
that
they're
buying
into
it.
So
we
can
have
a
smooth
transition
on
anything
that
we're
doing.
H
Thank
you,
sir,
and
one
thing
I'll
add.
I
just
spoke
with
megan
mills
at
the
friends
of
the
low
line
just
today,
they're
going
to
be
continuing
community
engagement
and
actually
going
to
start
going
door
to
door
even
even
under
this
pandemic
situation,
because
they
really
want
to
be
sure
that
they're
hitting
as
much
as
they
can
without
relying
on
folks
to
come
to
a
website.
B
E
Thank
you,
council,
member
mitchell,
two
of
my
team
members.
My
staff
will
provide
you
all
updates,
both
on
who
was
awarded
funding
from
the
city,
big
dollars
for
the
pandemic,
cove
2019,
and
then
an
update
on
those
persons
that
we
have
sheltered
in
a
local
hotel,
so
andrea
jones
and
christopher
jordan
will
provide
you
that
information.
Thank
you
all.
B
L
Good
afternoon,
mayor
and
city
council,
I
will
be
providing
an
update
to
the
budget
that
was
approved
by
city
council
on
april
28th
of
this
year,
where
we
were
awarded
four
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
six
hundred
and
twenty
eight
dollars
from
the
department
of
clubs
and
within
that
budget.
Through
an
application
process,
we've
awarded
six
organizations
care
that
funding
for
city
of
charleston
residents
who've
been
affected
by
kovitz
I'll,
bring
your
attention
to
items
three
through
eight
on
the
budget
that
was
forwarded
to
you,
along
with
the
agenda
charleston
pro
bono.
L
Legal
services
is
one
of
our
partners,
our
established
partners
and
we'll
be
providing
free
legal
assistance
to
persons
who've
been
affected
by
kovitz,
whether
they've
had
employment
or
housing
issues
they'll
be
assisting
them
with
those,
so
we'll
be
providing
administrative
assistance
and
the
other
five
organizations
will
be
providing
rental.
Mortgage
and
or
utility
assistance
to
residents
in
the
city
of
charleston
who've
been
affected
by
clovid
19
and
those
organizations
are
listed
on
your
budget
and
include
the
charleston
trident
urban
league
halos
or
helping
and
lending
outreach
support
the
humanities
foundation.

O
O
After
that,
we
took
a
look
towards
quarantine
and
isolation
practices
given,
as
we
all
know
again,
best
practice,
dictates
that
again
for
those
who
have
been
deemed
eligible
for
receiving
testing
or
who
have
received
a
positive
diagnosis
should
be
quarantined
or
isolated.
Again,
obviously,
folks
who
are
unsheltered
are
unable
to
do
so,
so
we
were
really
on
top
of
that
as
a
community.
O
O
To
date,
three
families
and
one
individual
have
moved
on
to
permanent
housing.
Four
individuals
transitioned
to
shelter
at
180,
place
and
the
rest
are
currently
again
in
progress
towards
again
exiting
that
transitional
sort
of
facility
again
into
a
permanent
housing
situation.
We're
partnering
with
four
different
agencies:
180
place
the
navigation
center,
my
sister's
house
and
florence
crittenden
to
provide
that
case
management.
That
was
a
critical
piece
of
this
process.
For
us,
we
didn't
want
to
just
put
people
in
a
hotel
for
them
to
return
to
the
situation.
O
They
came
from
we're
really
committed
to
ensuring
that
the
folks
that
are
placed
in
hotel
are
given
the
appropriate
supports
to
be
able
to
again
exit
into
a
stable
situation,
and
we've
seen
that
bear
out
so
far,
and
you
know
it's
looking
promising
considering
that
again
that
this
this
program
has
only
started
the
beginning
of
june.
That
we've
been
able
to
support
33
people
already
is
a
a
good
testament
to
the
the
work
of
the
city
and
of
our
partners.

Amen
to
that
one
thing,
I
can
see,
mr
mayor,
that
in
the
city
of
charleston
we
always
try
to
work
with
our
homelessness
and
we
were
doing
that
ever
since
I
was
in
council.
We
always
try
to
work
with
our
brothers
and
sisters
who
find
themselves
that
in
need.
So
that's
one
thing:
you
know
we
we
are
trying
to
do
as
much
as
we
possibly
can.
B
M
Thank
you,
mr
mayor
and
mr
chairman.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
for
chris
and
first
chris.
Thanks
for
all
the
excellent
work
you're
doing,
I've
learned
a
whole
lot
about
the
city's
efforts.
Y'all
do
a
lot
of
great
work
behind
the
scenes
and,
frankly,
don't
get
nearly
the
amount
of
spotlight
that
you
deserve,
because
it's
really
tremendous
work
that
we're
doing
here
in
the
city
of
charleston.
O
That's
a
great
question
and
a
very
well-timed
question,
as
we
over
the
last
several
months
have
been
engaged
in
the
hiring
process
for
a
full-time
outreach
worker
who
actually
just
began
in
our
department
on
monday.
So
her
name
is
talia
rice
and
I've
just
been
working
with
her
to
get
situated
this
week
and
starting
next
week.
Our
plan
is
to
again
get
her
out
into
the
community
with
a
a
central
focus
on
building
a
relationship
again.
O
I
think
that
what
we
need
to
recognize
is
that
a
lot
of
the
situations
that
are
are
faced
by
the
folks
who
are
in
our
community
are
quite
complex
and
don't
there
is
no
simple
sort
of
solution,
and
what
I've
seen
in
my
work
in
this
field
over
the
years
is
through
again
that
relationship
building
and
doing
a
lot
of
listening
and
asking
people
what
their
goals
are
and
what
they're
working
towards
and
helping
them
to
achieve
those
goals
that
we
really
start
to
see.
This
change
take
place.
O
So
I'm
really
excited
that's
going
to
drastically
increase
again
our
capacity
as
a
community
to
do
more
that
again
on
the
street
sort
of
engagement.
As
you're
speaking
to
because,
to
be
frank
again,
our
our
community
has
a
limited
capacity
with
regard
to
that
at
present.
So
again,
this
is
one
direction
that
we're
hoping
to
again
demonstrate
the
the
efficacy
of
and
expand
that
into
a
whole
team
of
people.
O
That
can
be
that
much
more
responsive
to
the
needs,
as
they
emerge
part
of
that
talia's
role
will
also
be
to
form
relationships
with
again.
Her
primary
focus,
at
least
initially,
is
going
to
be
on
the
downtown
core
building
relationships
with
downtown
businesses
and
letting
them
know
her
information
so
that
she
can
be
a
first
point
of
contact
to
again
intervene
in
situations
that
don't
actually
require
police
involvement.
Again,
so
often
police
are
called
to
again
respond
to
situations
that
actually
fall
outside
of
the
the
purview
of
their
work.
