A
So
for
the
the
final
report
of
the
special
commission
on
equity,
inclusion
and
racial
conciliation,
that
report
was
given
a
few
weeks
ago
at
the
city
council
meeting.
I
don't
see
the
chat
feature
here,
so
I
can't
put
a
link
to
it
for
those
who
haven't
seen
it,
but
I
will
ask
velvet
or
jennifer
to
send
it
out
later
on
to
those
who
haven't
seen
the
report.
A
A
A
Some
of
the
recommendations
from
housing
and
economic
empowerment,
they're
already
being
discussed
and
implemented
and
they've
already
they've,
already
come
before
you.
So
I
thought
that
was
important
to
note.
Also,
we've
had
several
local
organizations
and
national
organizations
reach
out
to
us
to
ask
us
how
they
can
support
these
recommendations.
A
A
D
Can
see
it
now
yeah
thank
you
chair
and
thank
thank
you
amber
for
trying
to
make
this
as
readable
and
workable
as
as
possible.
I
I
do
appreciate
the
that
our
community
development
committee
has
you
know
big
responsibilities
within
the
recommendations
that
were
given
to
the
whole
commission
and
the
council,
and
so
on
that
basis,
I'm
just
brainstorming.
I
don't
really
have
a
have
a
opinion,
one
way
or
the
other,
but
it
occurred
to
me
that
maybe
it
would
be
helpful
for
our
committee
to
form
a
working
group
a
little.
D
I
think
that
my
my
I
do
have
an
opinion
that
obviously
the
goals
are
very
important
for
us
to
think
you
know
deeply
about
and
then
be
prepared
to
endorse,
recommend.
However,
we're
going
to
use
language
that
you
know
our
committee
is
behind
the
goals
that
were
created,
assuming
that
we
will
be,
but
when
it
comes
to
some
of
the
recommendations
and
this
you
know
the
the
more
details
of
how
we're
going
to
accomplish
the
goals,
I
do
think
that's
a
lot
of
work
and
it's
very
hard
to
do.
D
That
kind
of
you
know
thoughtful
brainstorming
process
on
a
former
formal
meeting
like
this
one.
So
that's
that's
my
thought.
We
do
that
with
some
of
the
other
groups
that
I'm
part
of
that,
have
you
know
specific
areas
of
interest
or
expertise
and-
and
I
think
it
works
well
to
have
these
working
groups
sort
of
do
a
lot
of
work
and
then
bring
it
forward.
B
Well,
let's
just
say
I
think,
she's
going
to
send
a
copy
of
all
the
bullet
points
out
to
all
the
members,
and
once
we
get
the
bullet
points,
then
we'll
look
at
it
so
far
as
what
we
need
to
do
from
that
point
once
you,
the
committee,
have
read
over
it,
everyone
who's
on
the
committee.
If
the
bullet
points
the
enemy
will
go
from
that
point
and
I'll
see,
we
have
to
have
a
meeting
or
whatever
to
discuss
how
we
should
go
forward
with
it
and
go
from
that
point.
B
I
believe
that
would
be
the
best
thing
to
do
once
you
have
read
over
all
the
committee
members
with
the
bullet
points
and
then
we'll
know
from
that
point.
If
we
have
to
have
a
separate
committee,
we
want
to
do
something
differently
from
that.
I
think
that
would
be
the
best
way
to
do
it
so
give
you
more
because
we
would
need
mr
gianna
johnson
on
that
anyway,
to
go
through
it.
B
We
want
to
overload
anyone
supposing
now
the
committee,
so
we
would
look
at
the
bullet
points
first
and
see
how
we
have
to
move
forward
with
it.
We'll
probably
pick
one
or
two
topics
at
a
time.
I
guess
I
wouldn't
pick
it
all
at
one
time.
You
know
just
pick
a
certain
one
and
then
go
forward
with
that
and
see
how
we
can
recommend
that,
because
it's
gonna
take
a
lot
of
money
for
some
of
these
things
and
which
we
don't
have
right
now.
B
So
we'll
look
at
it
very
seriously
that
way
so
amber.
If
you
can
just
make
sure
that
all
the
members
of
the
committee
get
a
copy
of
what
you
have
done
with
the
bullet
points.
Just
the
bullet
points.
One
is
your
recommendation
and
then
we'll
go
through
that
point
and
then
we'll
see
when
they
can
have
another
meeting
come
moving
forward.
B
F
We
will
provide,
via
the
skills
and
talents
of
alan
davis,
a
powerpoint
presentation
to
you
that
will
not
last
very
long,
but
what
we
are
representing
to
you
in
some
cases,
but
there
are
also
some
new
items
on
this
list.
What
we
are
referring
to
is
the
cooper
river
bridge
redevelopment
area
phase
two
tax
increment
finance
projects.
F
We
are
excited
to
present
this
as
an
opportunity
to
complete
much
of
the
work
that
we
have
started
in
the
east
side,
community
in
particular,
as
many
as,
as
you
all
know,
because
you've
approved
the
various
housing
developments
that
are
forthcoming.
On
the
east
side,
a
great
deal
of
work
and
investment
has
been
made
in
this
community.
F
We
believe
in
and
think
that,
as
we
look
at
these
additional
projects,
this
will
enhance
the
livability
of
that
community
and
make
whole
and
bring
completion
to
what
we
have
committed
to.
We've
been
the
city
over
the
last
several
years
and
certainly
will
prove
complementary
to
all
of
the
positive
efforts
that
are
being
undertaken
in
regard
to
affordable
housing
that
cd
committee
and
council
overall
have
made
available.
F
So
we're
really
excited
about
what
we're
presenting
to
you
today
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
fulfill
these
obligations
through
to
financing,
and
with
that
I
will
ask
robert
summerfield.
If
he
has
any
additional
comments,
we
sent
out
a
subset
of
the
projects
to
you
late
yesterday
afternoon
that
will
be
included
with
the
powerpoint
presentation.
We
want
to
provide
you
a
nice
overview
of
what
this
all
means
in
a
comprehensive
manner
to
and
for
this
community
robert
did.
You
want
to
add
anything
to
those
comments.
G
These
projects
are
very
integrated
in
their
approach.
They're,
not
a
one
one
project,
one
solution,
type
of
thing:
they're,
a
project
that
hits
on
multiple
areas
of
emphasis
for
the
city.
There
are
infrastructure
improvements
that
increase
mobility
and
transportation,
while
at
the
same
time
addressing
stormwater,
conveyance
and
storage,
needs
that
also
improve
access
for
affordable
housing
and
in
other
aspects.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
to
note
that
one
this
project
list.
It's
understood
that
this
isn't
the
final
expectation
for
the
tif
that
there
will
be
a
a
round.
I
think
it's.
G
But
each
of
these
projects
have
been
specifically
included
in
this
phase
in
this
list,
because
they
do
hit
multiple
multiple
targets
for
the
city,
multiple
things
of
interest
and
that
that
every
drop
counts
philosophy
is
vitally
important.
While
they
may
not
be
those
big
things
like
a
new
drop
shaft,
for
you
know
a
new
tunnel
or
what
have
you
every
drop
that
we
can
store,
move
it
off
the
street,
move
it
off
of
these
areas
that
are
are
sensitive
to
flooding,
every
new
piece
of
green
space
that
we
can
offer.
G
The
community
is
a
place
for
respite
and
and
outdoor
enjoyment,
where
they
don't
have,
may
not
have
a
yard.
Each
of
those
things
are
important.
They
may
seem
small
at
this
time,
but
they're
vitally
important
to
the
overall
plan.
So
I
just
think
it's
important
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
we're
going
through
these
projects.
Thank
you.
Gianna.
F
C
Well,
I,
mr
chairman,
if
I
may
just
reiterate
what
giannis
is
sharing
with
us,
is
this
is
kind
of
building
upon
what
we
started
with
the
first
bond
issuance
and
it
seems
to
me
if
you
look
broadly
at
what
we're
trying
to
do
for
this
district
is
to
focus
on
affordable
housing,
a
big
commitment
there.
There
was
in
the
first
bond
issuance.
C
That's
that's
the
biggest
percentage
of
this
compilation
here,
because
we
know
we
have
the
great
opportunity
of
working
in
concert
with
the
charleston
housing
authority
in
redeveloping
a
number
of
their
properties
here
and
and
just
to
have
our
eyes
open.
To
help
make
that
happen.
I
think
the
city
is
going
to
have
to
continue
to
play
an
even
bigger
role
than
than
we
have
in
the
past
in
in
partnership
with
the
housing
authority.
C
We
folks
continue
to
focus
on
drainage
improvements.
Thirdly,
park
improvements.
We've
added
martin
park
here
on
this
round
with
some
major
improvements
to
that
park.
It's
consistent
with
our
master
plan
for
parks
and
recreation
and,
of
course,
the
beginning
of
the
development
of
the
low
line
here,
with
a
focus
on
mobility,
sidewalks
and,
and
even
the
the
commitment
here
to
the
the
low
line.
C
I
look
for
a
list
like
this
to
be
kind
of
a
guideline
for
a
future.
Of
course,
any
specific
funding
request
will
have
to
come
back
to
council
through
ways
and
means
committee,
but
with
your
blessing,
this
this
kind
of
gives
staff
that
kind
of
that
broad
objectives
of
where
we,
where
we're
looking
to
focus
on
in
the
district.
Thank
you
thank
you.
B
Yes,
mr
mayor
alluded
to
that.
This
is
something
that
we
started
in
the
beginning
that
we
were
going
to
work
on
on
the
east
side,
with
the
flooding
and
the
housing
and
the
mobility
of
our
various
parks.
So
this
is
only
the
phase
we're
going
to
another
phase
and
we're
trying
to
see
how
we
can
keep
it
moving
instead
of
just
dropping
the
ball
and
not
doing
anything
at
all.
B
So
it
takes
a
little
time
and
it
takes
some
money,
but
we
are
now
coming
and
moving
forward
and
trying
to
move
forward
with
it
and
let
the
people
know
that
the
community
know
that
we
have
not
forgotten
about
them
and
not
forgotten
about
the
community
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
one
thing:
they
always
feel
that
we
are
leaving
them
alone.
So
we'll
start
we
are
bringing
it
back
up
now
and
trying
to
go
forward
a
little
and
it's
going
to
be
a
little
this
little
walking
time,
but
we'll
get
we'll
get
there.
H
E
H
E
G
I
Yeah
that
sounds
great.
Thank
you,
robert
and
and
while
you're
pulling
that
up
and
while
the
customer
wearing
is
dialing
back
in
this
presentation
is
really
just
an
expanded
version
of
the
of
the
statements
that
robert
and
gianna
have
already
made.
It
helps
to
build
the
case
for
the
current
list.
It
talks
about
an
integrated
project
approach
and
it
provides
us
with
some
visual
materials
to
point
to
to
talk
about
where
these
projects
are
some
of
the
surrounding
elements
and
projects
that
we
already
know
about
that
are
happening
in
the
district,
etc.
I
Next,
and
here
is
here's
a
shot
where
the
new
bridge
has
been
opened
up,
as
we
know
it
today,
and
the
grace
and
pyramid
bridges
are
being
demolished.
You
can
actually
begin
to
see
the
urban
pattern
that
gets
created
and,
if
you
all
know
the
pattern
of
parcels
and
bridge
pile
caps
that
exists
and
all
the
other
physical
features
of
the
cooper
river
bridge,
grace
bridge
area
you'll
actually
be
able
to
pinpoint
some
of
the
patterns
of
why
things
are
shaped.
I
I
And
here
we
are
go
back
one
more
and
here-
and
here
we
are
today.
This
is
a
very
recent
map
and
you
can
see
in
the
foreground
kind
of
the
lower
part
of
the
grace
bridge
area
where
the
pearson
bridges
you
pierce
and
I'm
sorry,
the
grayson
pyramid
bridges
used
to
be.
You
can
see
that
the
we've
constructed,
along
with
the
housing
authority,
some
affordable,
housing,
grace
homes.
I
I
You
can
actually
see
that
the
shape
of
the
tif
district
is
related
to
the
likely
development
parcels
that
would
occur
as
a
result
of
the
removal
of
the
bridge,
but
also
some
of
the
other
ones
that
we've
seen
developed
since
the
since
the
bridge.
There's
a
lot
of
language
in
the
origin
originating
ordinance
in
2007
that
talks
about
what
this
tip
is
intended
to
be
for,
and
it's
really
for
all
of
the
problems
that
we
are
all
trying
to
solve
today.
Things
like
affordable
housing
and
connectivity
and
drainage
and
public
space.
E
I
Great
and
I
won't
go
through
all
this
language-
many
of
you
know
about
the
ordinance
already
and
what
the
tip
is
intended
to
do.
It's
really
about
public
improvement
infrastructure
things
that
we
can
do
to
leverage
private
investment
in
the
area,
things
like
storm
water
facilities,
parks
and
all
the
things
that
I've
already
mentioned.
This
is
all
spelled
out
in
the
original
ordinance
next,
and
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
the
great
work
that
we
all
point
to
on
a
regular
basis
of
the
dutch
dialogues.
I
Charleston,
the
dutch
dialogues
focused
specifically
on
the
east
side
of
charleston
and
came
up
with
some
really
great
what
I
call
frameworks
and
sketch
designs
for
what
this
this
place
could
be
like
if
it
were
to
better
manage
its
water,
and
this
is
not
only
as
robert
was
pointing
to
large-scale
infrastructure
projects
that
we
all
know
that
really
work,
but
also
the
dutch
said
that
we
need
to
manage
every
drop
in
our
public
spaces
and
places
like
that.
So
here's
some
images
that
are
in
the
district
and
here's
what
the
dutch
have
said.
I
Streets
and
rights
of
ways
are
important.
We
need
to
retrofit
some
of
our
roadways
to
better
handle
stormwater
infrastructure,
public
parcels,
including
parks
and
schools,
will
play
a
role.
It
talks
specifically
about
the
king,
I'm
sorry.
The
low
line
and
ug
street
as
great
opportunities
to
manage
water
and
also
private
property
has
a
role
including
the
affordable
housing
that
we'll
be
building
it
talks
about
redevelopment
strategies.
It
affirms
the
visions
that
we've
had
for
the
district,
so
it
basically
says
that
we
weren't
wrong
in
our
thinking
and
to
keep
going.
I
It
talks
about
specific
recommendations
for
the
district.
We
want
to
expose
and
celebrate
waterways.
We
talk
a
lot
about
this.
When
we
talk
about
what
what
I
call
phase
three
of
the
grace
bridge
area,
we
obviously
need
to
coordinate
drainage
with
the
planned
army
corps
perimeter
protections,
but
also
drainage
needs
to
be
coordinated
with
other
improvement
projects
as
well,
and
it
talks
a
lot
about
pilot
projects,
programs
and
partnerships,
and
we
really
can't
do
this
work
without
really
strong
partnerships
with
our
stakeholders
and
our
development
community
in
the
district.
I
Next
I'll
skip
this
just
to
kind
of,
let
you
know
I'll
talk
quickly
about
that.
It's
just
all
of
this
content
is
in
the
dutch
dialogues
report.
So
if
you
have
questions
about
some
of
the
things
that
I
was
mentioning,
it's
really
all
in
there
they
did
a
great
job
of
looking
at
the
district
as
a
whole
and
how
it
can
better
manage
water
next,
a
while
back,
I
believe
it
was
last
year.
I
presented
this
what
I
call
an
urban
design
concept.
I
It
just
talks
about
all
of
the
housing
opportunities,
the
infrastructure
alignment
opportunities
ways
to
manage
water,
and
this
has
led
us
to
make
some
really
critical
and
really
good
decisions,
for
example,
the
work
that
we've
done
with
the
humanities
foundation
of
charleston
to
get
land
where
it
needs
to
be
for
development
and
water
management.
Next,
and
as
robert
mentioned,
our
team
has
taken
an
integrated
project
approach.
I
Projects
have
multiple
benefits,
they're
not
really
easy.
Easily
categorized
under
this
is
a
stormwater
project.
This
is
an
affordable
housing
project
they're,
not
so
black
and
white.
Really,
really.
They
all
have
to
do
all
things
together.
Our
parks
and
streets
can
and
must
actually
serve
stormwater
functions,
including
rain
gardens
and
bioswales
actually
using
the
street
to
manage
water.
Likewise,
our
affordable
housing
projects
need
green
infrastructure,
and
we've
done
that
already
with
the
james
lewis
eastside
apartments,
where
we've
used
the
adjacent
linear
park
to
manage
water
for
the
site
itself.
I
Many
of
you
already
know
about
that
and
and
partnerships
and
physical
improvements
for
phase
three.
When
I
talk
about
phase
three,
I
talk
about
the
area
between
america,
street
and
morrison.
Drive
that's
composed
of
surface
parking
lots
that
is
going
to
be
our
next
and
probably
most
complicated
area
of
the
district
for
redevelopment
and
revitalization.
I
I
So
we
think
that
has
more
capacity
to
bond
on
some
of
these,
especially
with
the
results
of
the
aecom
study,
which
is
also
called
the
cooper
jackson,
drainage
study
next
and
here's
the
project
list
and
I'd
actually
like
anyone
on
the
team.
To
help
me
present
this
again,
you've
already
you've
already
seen
this.
We
can
go
through
all
of
these.
I'm
happy
to
do
that
or
we're
happy
to
call
on
any
member
of
the
team
to
help
expand
on
these.
So
I'll
take
a
break
there
and
let
out
of
this
let
others
chime
in.
F
Thanks
alan
and
I'll
start,
and
the
mayor
mentioned
the
5
million.
I
want
the
city
committee
of
city
council
to
know
we
are
working
closely
with
the
housing
authority
and
their
rad
project,
because
again
we
see
that
as
an
opportunity
to
enhance
density
in
in
the
community
working
in
concert
with
them.
So
we
asked
for
five
million.
F
Actually
we
asked
for
more,
but
five
million
is
where
we
landed,
but
in
addition
to
that,
we
have
an
rfp
out
now
for
a
real
tour
to
help
us
with
identifying
additional
properties
in
this
area
and
near
the
low
line,
simply
because
we
know
that
some
exist.
I
will
say
those
few
that
have
been
identified
are
very
costly,
but
we
haven't
given
up
on
that.
We
want
to
use
someone
who
is
an
expert
in
this
area
to
help
us
quickly
identify
and
along
with
our
efforts
to
work
with
the
housing
authority.
F
We
believe
that
we'll
be
able
to
enhance
the
affordable
housing
efforts
that
we
have
put
forth
and
you
you
all
have
supported
today.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
you
aware
of
those
efforts
that
we
are
undertaking
currently
and
I
will
ask
jason,
if
he's
on,
to
maybe
speak
to
martin
park
and
the
other
areas
that
are
applicable
to
him
and
his
team.
E
J
J
The
first
thing
being
the
the
park
house,
the
park
house
when
it
was
constructed,
was
great
for
its
time
it
it's
kind
of
outgrown
its
current
size.
It's
one
community
room
with
a
very
small
office
and
storage
rooms
and
and
and
the
goal
here
is
to
take
that
building,
expand
it
renovate
it
and
create
some
more
usable
spaces
for
the
community.
When
we
we
all
walk
through
the
park
and
we
and
we
visited
the
staff
there
and
and
what
the
staff
said
the
recreation
staff
indicated
to
us
is
they
needed
more
room.
J
They
needed
more
flexibility
in
that
space,
so
that
would
be
kind
of
the
next
big
project
for
martin
park.
If
you
would
and
then
a
couple
of
other
items
is
to
incorporate
a
splash
pad
into
the
park,
which
is
a
small
little
fountain
playground
that
the
children
of
the
area
could
use
in
the
hot
summer
days,
we
think
that
some
of
those
while
not
cheap
but
smaller
improvements
could
really
benefit
the
community
and
then
taking
the
whole
green
space
into
consideration
for
rain
gardens.
J
Cisterns
and
other
stormwater
features
that
that
again
slow
that
runoff
from
going
into
the
stormwater
systems
in
the
streets
and
then
looking
at
lee
street
and
america
street
and
and
figuring
out
how
we
can
make
the
parking
there
more
efficient.
We
can
incorporate
more
street
trees,
curb
extensions,
the
bios
whales.
Again,
every
drop
counts,
trying
to
intercept
some
of
that
water
before
it
enters
the
system
and
then
as
well
as
including
the
lee
street
linear
part
in.
J
So
the
goal
would
be
to
do
the
plan
for
lee
street
and
martin
and
then
create
those
projects
out
of
that
plan
and
then
secondary
to
that
would
be
the
phase
one
of
the
low
line
that
the
mayor
referenced.
We
know
that,
based
on
the
kimley
horn
cost
estimation
project,
that
the
friends
put
together
that
to
get
that
pathway
from
huge
street
to
mount
pleasant,
installed
and
utilized,
as
this
alternate
transportation
corridor.
J
As
we
were
going
through
that
process,
the
dot
indicated
that
we
needed
to
install
more
drainage
systems
into
that
hugey
street
streetscape,
which
created
an
additional
cost
that
we
had
not
anticipated
originally
so
there's
a
shortfall
there
about
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
get
that
project
through
construction
and
then
so
those
those
are
kind
of
the
three
topics
that
I
had
most
familiarity
with
and
then
I'll
kind
of
turn
it
over
to
the
next
staff
member
for
the
remaining
items.
Unless
there's
any
other
questions
from
anyone.
F
So
councilmember
mitchell
and
members
of
the
committee,
I
would
also
mention
to
you
all
the
underground
overhead
undergrounding
overhead
utilities,
which
is
really
important
for
the
district.
It
certainly
complements
what
we're
doing
relative
to
the
affordable
housing
and
having
those
underground
versus
overhead
will
prove
beneficial
to
the
long-term
aesthetics
of
the
community.
So
really
excited
about
that.
And
then
the
grace
bridge
area
phase
three,
which
is
the
what
is
being
used
currently
is
parking.
F
That
is
another
area
for
potential,
affordable,
housing
and
again
working
in
concert
with
the
housing
authority
with
our
private
sector
partners.
We
believe
we
will
come
forward
with
an
excellent
plan,
amassing
study
to
look
at
what
results
can
be
garnered
there
relative
to
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
and
certainly
improving
the
grace
bridge
street
that
we
all
know
now
rides
terribly.
It's
like
a
roller
coaster,
and
so
again
those
are
all
efforts
undertaken.
B
B
B
So
so
all
this
was
a
part
of
the
factor
you
know
of
that,
because
they
moved
because
of
the
gill
yard
they
moved
because
of
the
september
clock.
Then
they
had
to
move
again
now
because
of
the
bridge,
and
we
had
some
that
didn't
want
to
do
it
and
they
went
away
from
here
because
of
the
fact
they
got
just
overwhelmed.
B
So
I'm
happy
to
be
getting
started
with
this
again,
because
this
is.
This
is
a
long,
drawn-out
procedure
and
I
know
how
it
takes
a
long
time
to
get
things
done,
but
if
we
can
start
moving
forward
with
some
of
these
things
even
martin
park
and
if
you
go
to
martin
park,
martin
park
is
really
obsolete
at
this
time,
even
for
kids
to
be
in
to
even
be
utilized.
This
is
small.
B
I
go
by
the
everyday
small
and
they
can't
even
immediately
really
utilize
it
to
to
do
what
they
need
to
do
with
the
young
people.
That's
coming
into
modern
park.
Everybody
have
to
crowd
in
one
space
and
if
you
want
to
separate
them,
you
can't
you
don't
have
a
kitchen
in
there
that
you
can
do
other
things
with.
So
you
know
we
have
to
look
at
that
very
seriously.
If
you
can't
remember
it,
it's
even
the
park
itself
is
separating.
If
you
look
at
the
building
itself,
I
looked
at
it.
B
Some
of
the
bricks
that
are
separating
so
maybe
I
don't
know
normally-
might
be
towing
down
and
build
a
new
one.
It
might
be
cheaper,
I
don't
know
yet,
but
we
we
have
walked
through
it
and
I
walked
through
it
with
the
committee
when
we
were
out
there
and
I
was
noticing
a
lot
of
different
things
in
there
we
spoke
to
a
lot
of
the
people
who
was
working
in
the
park
and
recreation.
B
You
know
what
would
you
like
to
see
in
that
particular
park,
but
with
all
the
development
that
we
have
going
on
around
there
with
the
housing
going
there
and
you
will
have
more
people
there
you
going
to
have
the
senior
citizens
coming
there,
maybe
going
to
have
an
area
for
senior
citizens
to
come
in?
You
know
to
get
out
of
the
house
sometime
and
you
know,
have
a
space
for
them
to
go
to,
but
you
have
to
have
a
better
place,
a
better
facility,
if
you
may,
for
them
to
do
that.
H
I
did
thank
you,
but
obviously
that
background
is
important.
First,
I
want
to
thank
staff
and
everybody
on
this
project.
Listen,
certainly
you
can
see
the
work
that
has
gone
into
it
to
be
more
diverse
and
and
spending
the
dollars
a
couple
of
housekeeping
questions.
The
rise
match
rise
grant
match.
Somebody
explain
the
rise
grant
to
me.
I'm
not
familiar
with
it.
D
E
J
That
that
was
the
grant
that
the
friends
of
the
lowline
put
together
for
it's
like
customer
rejection
reference.
That's
the
the
new
build
grant,
that's
a
federal
grant,
and
it
was,
I
think
it
was
a
25
million
dollar
grant
and
that
that
three
million
dollar
match
for
those
projects
would
serve
as
the
match
to
those
projects.
If
I
understand
it
correctly,
well
that.
H
C
Can
I
enter,
should
I
interject
on
that
that
that
this
would
serve
as
a
match,
but
it
means
that
we
would
also
proceed
to
make
that
pathway
functional
between
mount
pleasant
and
hugey
street.
As
you
know,
we
would
make
a
city
project
out
of
that
capital
projects
would
would
it
would
probably
take
them
a
year
to
get
going
on
it.
I
guess
with
design
and
engineering
and
all
like
that,
but
we
do
want
to
go
ahead
and
make
that
pathway
functional.
C
H
H
H
Approximately
good
enough
for
me,
I
I
do
think
the
the
drainage
portion
with
the
cooper
drainage
piece
needs
to
come
through
the
public
works
committee,
so
we
can
drill
that
out.
One
part
on
the
next
page,
at
least
the
page
that
I
had
on
the
next
round
of
funding,
seems
like
to
me
yeah
the
implementation
of
implement
the
recommendation
of
cooper,
jackson,
drainage,
basic
basic
base
and
study
with
specific
projects.
Well,
those
are
action
steps
you
know.
H
F
Thank
you
councilmember,
and
I
will
just
reiterate
with
all
of
these:
we
will
bring
them
back
individually
to
the
specific
committee
once
they're
ready.
We
wanted
a
cd
committee's
approval
of
what
we
are
presenting
to
you
all
today,
so
that
then
staff
has
the
ability
to
move
forward,
naturally
with
amy
amy,
wharton
and
matt
froelich
supported
this
or
confirming
the
numbers
here,
so
that
action
can
then
be
taken
accordingly.
B
D
Yes,
thank
you.
I
have.
I
have
one
question,
so
this
bond
would,
if,
if,
if
we
say
yes
to
it
now
and
recommend
it
to
the
full
council,
then
does
the
full
council
vote
next
week
or
when?
When
would
we
and
or
does
that,
have
to
happen?
And
when
would
the
bond
actually,
you
know
be
sold?
One
would
be
advertising
the
bond
issue.
E
With
our
financial
advisor
to
with
all
the
updated
numbers
from
the
tif
district
to
see
how
much
we
might
be
able
to
borrow-
and
as
soon
as
I
guess
this
goes
through
council,
we
can
work
on
getting
the
bond
done
as
well,
but
we
had
always
anticipated
we'd
do
that
you
know
fall
september
october,
so
we
are.
We
have
begun
working
on
it
anyway,.
D
Great
that
sounds
great,
and
then
I
just
I
just
want
to
add
my
voice
in
congratulations
to
everybody
who
has
put
this
together.
I
I
was
listening
to
our
new
planning
director
and
I
I
think
that,
rather
than
you
know,
trying
to
it
was
like.
Well,
don't
don't
don't
don't
shoot
the
messenger,
because
these
are
very
small
and
they
don't
seem
like
anything.
Is
you
know,
brand,
new
and
and
something
to
advertise
in
the
in
the
post
and
courier?
I
take
the
opposite
approach.
D
I
think
the
fact
that
we
are
working
our
plan.
We
are
not
changing
our
priorities.
We
knew
what
they
were
when
the
tif
was
created,
they've
only
gotten
more
compelling,
so
I
I
think
we're
weaving
together.
You
know
the
tapestry
that
you
all
started
in
the
late
90s
on
chairman
mitchell
and
and
we're
just
you
know
being
privileged
as
the
current
group
of
people
to
say
yes
to
a
second
phase
of
funding
to
to
the
great
work
that
has
been
done,
and
now
it
really
makes
total
sense.
D
I
I
think
the
fact
that
we
can't
really
say
how
many
are
storm
water
projects
and
how
many
are
open
space.
You
know
amenities
and
and
mobility
opportunities
for
people.
I
I
think
that
is
great,
we're
creating
a
neighborhood.
So
I'm
just
really
proud
to
be
able
to
put
this
recommendation
forward
today.
B
E
B
E
Want
to
thank
everyone
for
the
hard
work
getting
on
the
list,
particularly
the
little
country
low
line.
I
think
that's
a
great
use
of
funds
and
we're
going
to
get
that
work
done
already.
So
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
getting
that
work
done
and
I'll.
Just
echo
carol's
comments,
your
new
council
member.
I
know
a
lot
of
this
work
was
already
done
previous,
but
it's
maybe
nice
to
take
some
of
the
accolades
as
a
new
council
member
and
go
on
the
heels
of
your
work,
councilman
mitchell.
E
B
E
B
B
B
E
B
D
B
B
F
K
K
K
This
is
a
a
great,
affordable
housing
project,
a
project
that
will
serve
the
homeless
community
as
well
as
provide
some
affordable
housing
rental
units
and
with
that,
a
creative
portion
to
present
some
social
services
designed
to
help
reduce
homelessness.
So
it
is
a
great
undertaking
and
we
think,
an
excellent
project
for
the
city
of
charleston
and
his
partners
in
this
case
will
be.
K
So
we
we're
projecting
that
we'll
have
a
final
mix
of
units,
some
at
30,
50,
16,
80
percent
of
ami,
and
of
course
you
all
know,
the
numbers
is
really
what
will
tell
the
story.
So
what
we're
asking
for
today
is
an
mou
for
this
partnership
to
move
forward
and
we
will
spend
the
dollars
initially
to
do
some
additional
due
diligence
that
will
be
required
in
order
for
us
to
filter
out
all
of
these
activities.
K
K
E
B
E
D
Yeah,
yes,
thank
you.
I
I'm
definitely
interested
in
seeing
this
mou
come
to
be
I
I
guess
I,
and
maybe
we
don't
really
need
to
know
specifically,
but
we're
signing
we're
gonna,
be
recommending
to
the
council
that
that
the
city
sign
with
this
new
group,
affordable
housing
holdings
llc,
so
does
the
llc
have
its
own
like
board
of
directors
or
a
leadership
team,
or
what?
What
is
the
sort
of
more
corporate
structure
in
terms
of
who
who's
going
to
be
responsible
to
uphold
their
49
of
this
agreement?.
K
K
As
many
of
you
know,
I've
been
a
banker
for
some
42
years,
and
so
I
understand
the
numbers
and
understand
what
makes
these
projects
works
and
the
financing
side
we'll
bring
to
the
table
the
architectural
and
engineering
expertise
in
this
city,
and
we
have
a
host
of
companies
in
this
city.
As
you
well
know
that
are
excellent
at
this
kind
of
work
and
so
we'll
reach
out
to
those
expertise
to
get
it
done.
H
F
H
F
Yes,
we've
already
analyzed
that
we
have
conducted
a
geotech
we've
conducted
the
environmental
review
literally
the
last
piece
that
we're
waiting
on
to
close
on
this
is
a
recordable
survey.
We
also
had
some
preliminary
assessments
done
relative
to
the
stormwater
management,
and
so
I'm
quite
a
bit
of
due
diligence
has
gone
forward
and
so,
like
I
said
within
the
end
of
the
month,
we'll
be
ready
to
close
yeah.
H
How
are
you
going
to
have
a
capital
account
for
those
capital
improvements
down
the
road
I
understand
getting
it
built,
and
all
that
I
got
all
the
confidence
in
the
world
that'll
be
done,
yeah
with
that
cash
flow.
With
that
this
kind
of
cash
flow
right?
Yes,
where's
the
capital
account
for
improvements
15
years
down
the
road.
Where
is
that
going
to
come.
K
What
we,
what
we
will
as
part
of
our
due
diligence,
we'll
have
to
structure
financing
plan,
perhaps
with
some
light,
tech,
financing
and
other
sources
of
financing
that
will
bring
the
costs
in
terms
of
outlay
in
terms
of
financing
repayment
type
financing
down
as
low
as
we
can,
so
that
we
will
have
the
ability
to
create
a
reserve
for
future
future
events.
Of
course,
we
can't
predict
what
those
will
be,
but
we
certainly
can
plan
for
them
and
so
we'll
that's.
That
will
be
the
ultimate
goal
for
us.
K
H
H
Well,
I'm
wondering:
can
we
get
that
maybe
answer
to
the
the
auditor
charleston
county
auditor,
as
we
perceive
with
this
project?
The
reason
I
say
that
because,
depending
on
that
ownership,
you're
right,
I
mean
we
can
property
taxes
on
something
like
this
will
equate
ensuring
the
building,
which
is
a
major
expense.
H
If
you
can
keep
that
cash
flow,
you'd
be
in
a
better
position
to
continue
maintaining
this
property
throughout
the
decades,
and
I
think
that's
something
we
can
bet
out
now
it
may
be,
it
may
adjust
to
ownership
somewhat,
but
if
we
can
eliminate
that
property
tax
piece-
I
I
know
it,
you
know
with
humanities
organization.
That's
one
thing,
that's
a
beast
for
them:
he
has
to
pay
property
taxes
and
and
ensure
the
property.
H
K
For
that
suggestion,
we,
the
properties
that
we
own
currently
are
our
properties,
are
tax
exempt.
So
we,
I
think,
with
the
current
structure,
but
we'll
we'll
we'll
verify
it,
but
with
the
current
structure,
I
think
that
would
be
the
case,
but
we
will
verify
that.
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you
for
that
suggestion.
C
C
I
think
the
vision
has
gotten
a
little
broader
to
include
these
partners
that
are
mentioned
in
the
in
the
presentation,
but
potentially
others
as
well
and
and
to
let
you
all
know.
I've
had
discussions
with
the
united
way,
who
who
operates
some
social
service,
centers
amongst
in
the
tri-county
region
and
and
the
reason
I
mention
that
is
because
they're
not
dedicated
solely
to
helping
those
in
need
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
but
to
serving
the
population
at
large,
who
are
just
in
need,
whether
they're
homeless
or
not.
C
Now.
One
particular
thing
regarding
development
that
I
wanted
to
advise,
cass
and
fa
that
I
was
looking
at
earlier
this
morning
at
the
preliminary
report
on
the
on
the
drainage
situation
and-
and-
and
I
guess
this
comes
as
a
way-
a
bit
of
a
challenge
for
for
all
of
us
as
we
partner
and
go
forward
with
this
we're
going
to
have
to
like
set
the
example
on
stormwater
management
for
this
property.
I
would
like
to
see
us
have
a
green
roof
on
on
the
roof.
C
We
we
haven't
done
many
of
those
in
the
city,
every
bit
of
parking
and
sidewalk
ought
to
be
pervious
so
that
we
absorb
water
because,
frankly
this
this
property
is,
is,
I
guess,
the
soil
characteristics
don't
absorb
water
as
well
as
some
others,
and
so
we
we
have
some
challenges
here.
So
we
got
to
maximize
every
drop
that
we
can
hold
on
site
either
through
plants
or
the
roof,
or
you
know
soaking
into
the
pavement
or
any
way
that
we
can
and
and
so
just
taking
that
a
step
further.
C
So
that's
maybe
a
different
kind
of
topic,
but
I
I
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
make
y'all
aware
that
we're
going
to
have
to
work
extra
hard
to
to
get
our
own
department
to
approve
the
development
plans
on
this
site.
It
can
be
done,
but
we're
gonna
have
to
really
and
make
may
cost
us
a
few
extra
bucks
to
make
that
happen
as
as
often
as
the
cage.
But
I
really
want
to
see
this
be
an
example
for
great
storm
water
management
and
for
energy
management
as
well.
Thanks
well.
B
Anyone
else
have
any
questions
comments,
but
I
I
I
like
the
idea
of
what's
going
to
be
built
there
if
it's
gone
and
it's
still
part
of
my
community,
it's
still
part
of
the
community
right
now,
I'm
representing
because
I
still
in
the
same
area,
and
I
think
that's
what
most
a
lot
of
things
going
to
be
going
up
in
that
area
which
is
in
the
upper
peninsula
area
in
that
neck
area.
They
call
it.
B
So
that's
the
only
place
we're
going
to
have
more
land
if
you
may
a
property
that
we
have
to
go
to.
So
everything
is
going
to
be
moving
northward
forward,
and
that
would
be
a
great
idea
to
have
these
services
there
for
the
people
who
are
in
need,
because
we
have
to
look
out
for
them
because
things
are,
things
are
getting
pretty
pretty
tough
again,
I
mean
pretty
rough
around
here,
but
a
lot
of
people
is
even
with
families.
That's
having
a
lot
of
problems.
I
mean.
B
I
see
that
every
day
when
I'm
out
in
the
streets
there's
a
lot
of
family
having
problems
they're
trying
their
best
to
keep
moving.
But
it's
rough,
that's
right,
so
we
got
to
do
whatever.
We
can
and
say
that
we
are
trying
to
to
assist
our
community
that
we
are
representing
and
that's
all
I
want
to
say
to
that.
So.
B
F
Simply
add
to
the
agreement
that
this
partnership
was
put
forth.
Our
legal
team
does
have
changes
to
that.
So
what
you
see
will
be
changed
slightly.
It's
not
substantial,
but
miss
copeland
has
reviewed
and
wants
to
make
changes
to
the
agreement
that
we
will
reap
and
so
we'll
get
the
revised
agreement
out
to
you
all.
F
Yes,
sir,
your
motion,
if
you
could
would
be
with
those
changes
that
she's
included
in
this
document-
and
I
I
sent
it
to
mr
cass
and
fa
johnson,
but
we
haven't
had
a
discussion
on
that
yet.
But,
as
I
indicated,
it's
nothing
substantive,
but
we
do
need
to
make
sure
we
are
clear
with
all
of
the
legal
requirements.
