A

We
have
a
forum,
president
of
all
of
our
committee
members,
and
I
see
that
we
have
also
joining
us
council
members
jackson
in
appel.
Welcome,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
for
joining
us.
I'm
going
to
take
a
moment
of
personal
privilege
and
take
over
the
moment
of
silence
in
the
catholic
tradition
today
would
be,
is
the
feast
day
of
the
blessed
mother,
so
I
thought
I'd
didn't
go
to
church
today,
which
I
would
normally
do
under
normal
circumstances.
D
D
D
D
Just
a
second,
a
second
okay,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
aye
aye,
any
opposed
nice
happen.
So
shannon
I'm
gonna
lead
off
with
you.
Since
I
got
you
your
attention
and
you
got
a
lovely
american
flag
on
your
face
mass
covering.
Can
you
give
us
a
quick
update
on
the
emergency
management
we're
in
september
the
8th
so
we're
into
the
storm
season?
Full
fledge?
So
what
can
you
update
us
on
shannon.
F
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
and
good
afternoon
to
everyone.
First
and
foremost,
I'll
I'll,
go
ahead
and,
and
let
everyone
know
if
you
don't
already,
that
we
are
as
an
emergency
management
division
rolling
into
the
the
charleston
fire
department
that
that
move
has
already
begun
and
will
be
official
on
january.
One,
and
the
biggest
reason
for
that
is
to
is
to
support
the
the
ongoing
growth
of
emergency
management
and
working
under
chief
curia
and
the
fire
department.
F
We
feel
very
confident
that
we'll
be
able
to
to
to
grow
in
the
way
that
we
need
to.
As
you
just
mentioned
a
moment
ago,
sir,
we
are
approaching
the
peak
of
her
for
we're,
not
in
it
already
and
by
now,
you're.
All
very
well
aware
of
the
hard
work
of
our
hurricane
task
force
last
several
months
as
we
continue
to
navigate
the
covid
crisis,
we've
been
able
to
kind
of
divide
and
conquer.
F
So
again,
thanks
to
each
one
of
those
professionals,
I
see
tony
cartel
on
the
front
and
and
all
the
work
that's
being
done
there.
I
have
a
quick
brief
for
you
just
to
kind
of
give
you
an
overall
sense
of
where
my
head
is
right.
Now,
as
we
as
we
move
under
chief
curia
and
the
fire
department,
my
top
10
hazards
that
I
look
at
and
keep
in
mind
the
four
phases
of
emergency
management,
that's
mitigation,
preparedness
response
and
recovery.
F
We
can
have
a
full-time
staffer
focused
on
each
one
of
those
things
and
there
would
be
enough
work
for
60
hours
a
week,
so
each
one
of
them
is
very,
very
important
to
emergency
management
profession
overall.
But
when
you
consider
the
vulnerability
assessment
that
is
done,
the
city
of
charleston,
you
think
about
the
vulnerabilities,
the
hazards
in
charleston
and
of
course,
we
all
know
about
flooding,
tropical
cyclones.
Just
in
the
two
years
that
I've
been
with
the
city,
we've
had
florence
michael
dorian
and
now
is
among
others,
we've
had
tornadoes.
F
Of
course,
we
all
know
about
the
situation
with
the
ongoing
opinions
within
with
an
earthquake
and
how
charleston
may
be
overdue,
for
something
like
that:
fire
hazmat,
severe
winter
weather
transportation,
failures,
obviously
civil
disorder
and
thanks
infections
and
pandemic
diseases.
You
know
when
I
first
came
on
board
with
you
all.
I
did
a
review
of
our
of
our
hazards
for
myself
and
it's
interesting.
F
Some
of
the
ones
that
were
sort
of
buried
down
have
now
become
kind
of
our
top
contenders
in
the
year
2020,
so
we're
definitely
operating
in
a
fluid
environment
over
here
in
emergency
management,
moving
on
into
kind
of
a
second
list
of
hazards,
again
mitigation,
preparedness
response
and
recovery
for
each
one
of
these,
you
begin
to
look
at
the
world
of
work
that
we're
faced
with
every
day
with
a
staff
of
now
three,
as
mike
tito
has
has
officially
joined
your
emergency
management
group
for
the
city.
Special
events
right.
F
We
know
about
the
bridge
run
every
year
that
takes
about
75
different
organizations
from
across
the
state
to
pull
that
thing
off
and
our
very
own.
Daniel
flecis
is
the
planning
section
chief
for
all
of
those
disciplines
for
all
of
those
jurisdictions
for
the
entire
event.
So,
for
four
months
out
of
the
year,
daniel
is
face
down
into
the
bridge
run,
as
am
I
mass
casualty,
events,
sea
level
rise
and
tidal
flooding,
heat,
wave
and
drought.
F
Terrorism,
mass
murders,
active
threats,
a
dam
failure
is
another
one
that
we
need
to
be
prepared
for,
and
we
exercise
regularly
with
our
partners
on
a
maritime
incident.
Cyber
incidents,
tsunami
and
aircraft
incident,
so
the
list
is,
is
rather
lengthy
there
on
on
some
of
the
the
vulnerabilities
that
I've
got
to
plan
and
prepare
for
for
the
city
of
charleston,
with
the
staff
of
three
the
recurring
issues
that
we've
seen
of
that
list
since
2015
flooding,
tropical
cyclones.
F
As
we
just
talked
about
tornadoes,
we
know
john's
island
and
other
areas
have
been
hit.
Last
few
years
we've
had
some
hazmat
incidents,
we've
had
severe
winter
weather,
and
it's
noteworthy
to
say
that,
of
course,
with
hibben
united
methodist
church
and
mount
pleasant
and
some
of
the
the
details
of
their
operation
coupled
up
with
the
the
county
work
camp.
Some
of
the
the
warming
shelter
options
that
we've
had
have
been
sort
of
taken
off
the
table
this
coming
year.
F
F
In
those
same
five
years,
we've
done
a
multitude
of
exercises
to
prepare
ourselves
for
some
of
these
contingencies,
including
flooding
workshops.
Obviously,
we
try
to
do
a
hurricane
exercise
every
year
with
the
team
bridge
run
and
counter.
Terrorism
is
something
that
we
work
through
every
single
year.
F
We
conducted
some
training
with
cdos
shift
commanders
from
the
fire
department
to
to
establish
some
protocols
for
flooding
by
all.
By
now,
you
all
have
heard
of
the
level
three
two
one
flooding.
We
want
professionals
from
fire
and
police
speaking
the
same
language
as
emergency
management
does
so
we
can
be
on
the
same
page
as
we
are
approaching
one
of
these
rain
mom
type
situations.
F
The
message
of
preparing
us
for
the
city,
obviously
in
2020,
with
cobit
being
what
it
is,
we
have
not
been
able
to
do
that,
so
that's
been
sort
of
deferred
and
I
I'm
really
looking
for
some
innovative
ways
to
try
to
connect
with
our
citizens
and
would
be
open
to
any
suggestions
you
all
have
in
terms
of
that
in
years
past.
I
think
we
heavily
relied
on
police
and
fire
during
major
contingencies
to
help
us
during
activations.
F
Well,
we
continue
to
do
that,
but
notice
that,
beginning
after
florence
we
started
to
bring
in
other
professionals
from
other
departments
to
help
us
activate
and
they
brought
in
a
great
amount
of
talent
with
them
and
everybody
from
storm
water,
public
service
and
others
to
really
sort
of
take
some
of
that
pressure
off
police
and
fire.
So
they
could
focus
on
the
things
that
they
need
to.
F
So
we're
looking
to
train
those
folks
give
them
the
tools
that
they
need,
so
they
can
really
succeed
in
their
positions
during
a
contingency
mike
tito.
Now
part
of
our
staff
is
going
to
be
in
charge
of
that
training
tracking
for
the
entire
city.
It's
a
big
job,
and
luckily
fire
already
has
something
like
that
established
for
themselves:
we're
going
to
really
mirror
what
what's
already
been
done.
F
F
The
response
work
is:
is
ongoing,
title
flooding,
excessive
rainfall,
notifications
and
coordination.
We
work
very
closely
with
council
member
seekings
and
others
to
continue
to
improve
how
we
provide
services
and
emergency
management.
It's
sort
of
a
moving
target,
but
I
feel,
like
we've,
really
come
a
long
way
in
the
two
years
that
I've
been
here
as
a
result
of
all
the
hard
work
of
the
entire
team
with
really
dialing
in
on
that
level.
F
Three
two
one
flooding
actions:
we've
talked
extensively
about
cobit
and
the
incident
management
team
and
and
this
the
civil
unrest.
What
I
will
highlight
to
finish
up
is
debris
management
working
with
public
service
to
really
establish
a
sustainable,
reliable
debris
management
contract
that
if
we
do
see
a
major
storm
system
this
year,
we're
confident
moving
forward
in
the
recovery
process.
F
So
how
are
we
looking
and
moving
forward?
Well
in
a
perfect
world,
I've
got
a
a
staff
that
can
really
address
those
those
four
phases:
mitigation
preparedness
response
recovery,
particularly
that
recovery
piece.
It's
the
longest,
most
painful
of
all
of
them.
They
tend
to
go
months,
if
not
years
with
with
recovery.
So
having
someone
that
was,
that's
really
focused
on
that
would
be
tremendous
for
us
moving
into
the
fire
department,
we're
making
sure
that
our
positions
are
in
terms
of
hr,
where
they're
supposed
to
be
and
how
they're
described.
F
D
Thanks
shannon
that
was
a
very
quick
update
and
appreciate
your
rapid
presentation
with
that,
and
I
am
very
supportive
of
the
idea
of
moving
you
over
to
the
fire
department.
I
think
that
makes
perfect
sense
and
coordination
is
an
absolute
key.
Any
member
of
the
committee
have
any
questions
for
shannon.
Yes,
sir,
mr
sikins.
B
Just
very
briefly,
shannon
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
I
mean
there's
so
much
thought
that
goes
into
all
this,
and
I
appreciate
it,
and
you
talked
about
your
wish
list
on
the
top
of
your
wish
list.
I
I
think
for
for
me,
and
I
think
for
all
of
us,
the
variable
messaging
signs,
rather
than
the
permanent
signs
that
have
only
one
message
on
and
off
are
probably
better
for
a
number
of
different
reasons,
and
I
think
that
the
time
that
we're
living
in
now
tells
you
one
of
them.
That
is.
B
We
have
a
lot
of
things
to
tell
people,
but,
as
you
know,
those
permanent
signs
that
say
the
same
thing
and
then
flash
on
and
off
send
out
a
message
in
certain
communities
that
are
tough,
so
I
just
think
we
should
think
through
how
we
get
those
signs
out
there
for
public
safety
without
getting
in
the
way
of
people's
property
and
their
values.
So
I
think
you
know
where
I'm
coming
from
on
that.
D
G
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
tell
shannon
thank
you.
You
know
the
detailed
preparations
that
you've
done
are
incredible
and
you
know
we
just
appreciate
it.
It's
one
of
those
things
when
you're
seen
on
tv,
it's
bad
times.
Things
are
bad,
but
because
of
the
preparations
and
the
way
you
deliver,
that
people
understand
the
preparations
and
and
they
feel
a
lot
better
when
they
do
when
you
do
finish
up
with
the
media.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
hard
work
and
preparation
you've
done
here.
So
thank
you.
D
So
with
that
comment,
I'm
going
to
just
ask
susan
if
she
would
go
ahead
and
give
us
an
update
as
to
the
arrests
and
prosecutions,
and
I
think
you
can
focus
susan
on
the
sunday
may
31st
more
so
than
anything
else,
and
we
got
chief
reynolds
and
other
members
of
the
police
department
on
board
and
before
I
turn
it
over
to
susan.
Just
one
more
comment
in
case
you
have
not
seen
it.
D
So
and
I
understand
more-
are
to
come,
but
I
just
want
to
tell
you
about
my
conversation
I
have
with
mr
mccoy
earlier
this
morning
after
I
saw
the
news
of
that
breaking,
and
that
is
something
important
for
us
to
remember
that
the
folks
who
created
the
the
hardcore
violence
on
the
night
of
may
33
first
have
been
charged
federally
and
some
of
them
are
going
to
be
convicted
of
that
by
their
entity
of
a
plate.
So
susan
I'll,
let
you
take
it
over
from
there.
Thank
you.
H
H
H
H
These
are
both
lawyers
who
have
served
as
prosecutors
here
and
will
in
colombia
for
for
a
number
of
years,
and
it
was
their
job
at
that
point.
To
look
at
the
facts
objectively,
based
upon
that
on
august,
31
27
cases
were
recommended
by
the
prosecutor
to
the
court
to
be
dismissed
and
the
court
agreed.
H
12
cases
were
recommended
not
to
be
dismissed
and
the
court
agreed
and
continued
them
of
the
cases
that
were
dismissed,
and
this
is
the
most
important
thing
I
want
to
tell
you
all
to
clarify.
What's
been
said,
is
none
of
the
cases
that
were
dismissed,
involved,
throwing
bricks,
vandalizing
property
spray,
painting,
buildings,
looting
or
hurting
anyone?
H
In
this
particular
case,
what
they
looked
at
was
what
will
looked
at
in
the
office
looked
at
was
that
no
one
resisted
arrest,
they
were
peaceful,
they
had
been
exercising
their
first
amendment
right
and
each
case
involved
a
non-violent
peaceful
protesting
activity.
They
had
spent
the
night
in
jail.
They
were
required
to
post
a
cash
bond.
H
Before
that
time,
all
these
factors
were
taken
into
consideration
and
it
was
the
job
of
the
prosecutor
to
make
a
recommendation
which
he
felt
was
serving
justice,
and
it
was
ultimately
the
court
to
decide
whether
or
not
that
justice
had
been
served,
and
that
is
where
we
are
at
this
point.
With
these
cases,
as
I
said,
there's
a
number
that
have
not
been
dismissed
and
won't
be
dismissed
until
a
further
review
of
the
facts
are
involved.
H
D
Susan,
thank
you
for
that
presentation.
So,
council
committee
members,
we
can
go
on
to
the
next
phase
of
the
report
from
chief
reynolds
before
we
ask
questions.
If
that's
okay
with
y'all,
I
think
that
have
more
of
a
okay.
So
chief
funnels,
you
want
to
pick
out
from
where
mr
dina
left
off
regarding
her
focus
was
on
the
afternoon
and
early
evening
of
may
31st,
and
you
may
want
to
give
us
an
update
as
to
the
other
arrests
that
took
place
on
may
30
and
into
the
early
hours
of
may
31st.
C
Before
I
give
a
tally
of
our
investigative
efforts
and
talk
about
what
we've
done.
I
think
it's
important
that
I
recognize
our
partners
who've
helped
in
a
variety
of
ways,
with
the
deployment
and
keeping
our
city
safe,
not
only
the
night
of
the
30th,
but
since
then
among
the
primary
partners,
being
the
sheriff's
department
in
in
both
charleston
and
berkeley
counties
mount
pleasant,
north
charleston,
and
there
was
other
agencies
to
include
sled
and
others
who've
been
helping
us
ever
since.
C
We
I'll
talk
about
how
many
we've
identified
and
what
the
status
of
those
are
being
prosecuted
the
fullest
extent
of
the
law
to
include,
as
our
chair
peter,
shared
a
moment
ago
from
the
u.s
attorney's
office.
So
I
want
to
talk
about
some
of
the
people
that
are
helping
us
from
the
day.
This
happened
with
our
investigation
and
to
get
these
cases
as
long
as
far
along
as
they
are
right
now
to
identify
the
perpetrators
of
these
crimes.
C
In
my
personal
opinion,
that's
what
I've
advocated
for
from
day
one.
I
also
want
to
recognize
our
solicitors
scarlett
wilson,
who
I've
had
multiple
conversations
with
who
she
assigned
from
day
one
her.
I
think,
a
very,
very
strong
prosecutor
in
the
solicitor's
office
dave
osborne,
who
has
an
umbrella
responsibility
to
track
and
execute
all
of
these
cases.
C
So
there's
organization
and
none
fall
through
the
cracks
very
active
support,
continues
from
the
fbi
and
the
atf
in
every
one
of
these
cases,
and
now
I'll
I'll
read
to
you
a
tally
of
a
status
of
where
we're
at
right
now
and
I
want
to.
Lastly,
thank
the
members
of
the
charleston
police
department,
who
selflessly
from
the
day
that
this
happened
on
the
30th
have
not
put
down
their
pencils,
have
not
put
down
their
phones,
have
not
stopped
investigating,
have
reached
out
to
the
merchants.
C
Have
we've
had
a
tip
line
in
place
and
a
whole
variety
of
other
mechanisms
to
communicate
with
our
communities
to
get
solicit
and
get
every
single
tip
that
we
could
get
to
include
videos
that
were
taken
that
night
of
the
assaults
of
the
arsons
of
the
vandalisms
of
the
thefts
and
a
variety
of
other
things
that
we
know
occurred
that
night.
The
violence
that
occurred
in
our
city,
the
picture
of
that?
If
you
will,
that
was
incited
by
these
individuals,
these
criminals,
who
came
to
our
city
and
perpetrated
these
crimes.
C
C
Total
number
of
warrants
served
so
far
is
74
warrants.
16
are
still
outstanding,
total
number
of
offenders
who
have
been
arrested,
26
offenders
and,
in
addition
to
that,
the
five-on-view
arrests,
the
total
number
of
offenders
with
federal
charges,
four
of
which
were
announced
today
by
the
u.s
attorney
peter
mccoy
and
his
team,
in
their
press
release,
as
was
referenced
earlier
for
our
city
and
the
riots
that
occurred
here.
C
We
have,
I
believe
at
least
one
additional
likely
federal
case
that
we're
working
with
the
atf
on
currently
as
well
of
these
federal
charges.
Two
were
related
to
the
riots.
Two
were
related
to
arsons
and
one
was
a
gun
charge.
That
was
also
related
to
a
previous
incident
that
tied
a
previous
charge
and
incident
to
the
to
what
happened
on
the
30th
total
state
charges
for
arson.
We
have
nine
two
were
for
retail
stores.
There's
more
under
investigation.
C
C
D
B
B
I
think
one
of
the
things
just
thinking
out
loud
that
sort
of
led
to
sort
of
this.
This
conversation
and
sort
of
the
extended
portion
of
the
conversation
is
the
investigation
side
sort
of
internally
out
and
to
the
extent,
there's
any
reports
on
that
going
forward.
I
know
that's
something
you
all
have
been
working
on.
We
just
need
to
make
that
part
of
our
sort
of
report
going
from
there,
but
thank
you
for
all
your
hard
work.
B
It's
just
interesting
times
that
we
live
in,
and
it's
been
fascinating
to
sort
of
see
the
makeup
of
the
crowd
that
took
it
from
peaceable
protest
to
violence
and
that
you
know
a
lot
of
that's
local
and,
I
think
to
me
chief,
it
just
solidifies
even
more
the
necessity
for
us
to
get
out
there
in
the
community
and
get
our
relations
to
the
best
place
they
can
possibly
be.
I
just
think
that's
the
long-term
message
from
all
of
us.
B
G
Yeah
mine's
not
really
a
question
either.
I
don't
guess
it's
more
of
a
more
of
a
statement,
but
you
know,
first
of
all,
what
happened
to
george
floyd
is
totally
unacceptable.
Racial
injustice
needs
to
come
to
an
end.
We
need
to
do
whatever
we
can
there.
There
are
people
that
protested
peacefully
lawfully
and
then
there's
those
that
went
beyond
that,
but
I
understand
what
they
were
protesting.
G
They
need
to
be
held
accountable
for
their
actions.
You
know,
we've
got
some
good
judges
in
charleston
that
come
up
with
creative
ways
of
making
sure
that
non-violent
people
who've
made
a
mistake,
understand
their
mistake
and
they
learn
from
it
without
having
harsh
penalties,
and
we
also
have
opportunities
to
go
through
pre-trial
intervention
to
help
non-violent
people
understand.
You
know
where
they
went
wrong,
allow
them
to
understand
how
they
can
accomplish
things
without
breaking
the
law.
G
Our
officers
put
their
lives
on
the
line
every
day.
Their
spouses
and
families
obviously
worry
about
them,
particularly
in
times
like
this
and
when
they
do
their
jobs
and
they
make
arrests
to
protect
our
city.
I
just
believe
that
we
should
back
them
up
on
that,
and
obviously
I'm
talking
about
the
31st
here
we
called
in
support
for
other
from
other
surrounding
jurisdictions.
G
On
that
night
of
may
31st,
they
did
an
outstanding
job
of
helping
keep
our
city
safe,
and
I
just
believe
we
should
have
backed
up
our
partners
and
supported
their
efforts,
and
we
could
have
done
better
could
have
done
much
better
than
dropping
the
charges.
We
could
have
come
up
with
something
creative
and
I
don't
know
I
just
I
just
feel
like
we
could
have
done
better
than
that.
So
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
Chairman
thomas,
a
question:
yeah
just
one
comment:
one
quick
question:
I
just
want
to
echo:
you
know:
councilman
shealy.
I
I
think
you
all
did
a
wonderful
job
given
the
circumstances,
and
I
think
we
can
continue
to
push
the
narrative
the
truth,
which
is
there.
There
is
a
difference
between
the
protests
and
the
riots.
I
think
in
our
heated
political
environment
folks
are
trying
to
you,
know,
put
those
together
and
create
an
argument
that
it's
the
same
folks
and
I
was
there
that
day
and
it
was
completely
different
crowd.
I
So
I'm
glad
that
we're
making
that
distinction,
I'm
also
glad
they're,
making
the
distinction
that
these
folks
weren't
bused
in
from
other
other
places
and
to
councilman
seeking's
point.
We've
got
some
work
to
do
internally
in
our
city
and
I
think
the
special
commission
that
we
have
can
get
to
work
on
that
question.
Just
from
a
communication
standpoint.
This
is
really
for
councilman
shaheed.
You
know,
as
this
information
comes
out,
you
know
as
a
member
of
this
committee.
I
I
would
welcome
that
information
because
I
think
part
of
my
job
as
a
council
person
as
a
just
a
regular
citizen,
is
to
nullify
some
of
the
misguided
information.
That's
that's
shared
in
our
community
and
I
could
be
an
echo
and
a
voice
for
what
I
see.
You
know
to
be
the
truth.
So,
when
they're,
these
arrests
are
made
it'd
be
great
to
to
get
that
report
in
an
email
that
I
can
help
share
and
kind
of
be
a
voice
for
clarity,
and
I
guess
a
voice
of
facts.
D
I
try
to
write
down
as
fast
as
I
could
all
those
numbers,
but
if
there's
a
document
that
we
can
disseminate
to
the
rest
of
the
council,
that
would
be
helpful
so
that
the
public
is
fully
aware
of
these.
These
are
numbers.
These
are
just
hardcore
statistics
as
to
the
number
of
arrests,
the
ones
that
were
dismissed,
the
ones
that,
depending
if
you
could
break
that
down
for
us.
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful
thanks
for.
I
Bringing
that
up
well,
I
guess
I'm
sorry
chairman,
I
guess
my
question
is
is
when
when
those
decisions
are
made,
so
I
guess
you
know
when
when
did
that
information
become
available,
would
have
been
helpful
to
have
some
of
that
last
week
today
I
took
notes.
I
have
all
the
information
for
today.
I
guess
when
the
information
is
relevant
and
it
starts
to
get
out
into
the
public
sphere,
I
think
that's
when
we
should
be
taking
the
opportunity
to
correct
a.
I
D
A
And
I
just
want
to
offer
my
thanks
to
our
police
department,
chief
reynolds
and
all
our
collaborative
partners
that
chief
reynolds
mentioned
from
our
neighboring
jurisdictions
of
mount
pleasant,
north
charleston,
the
sheriff's
department,
sled
fbi,
u.s
attorney's
office.
All
those
amazing
collaborations
to
doggedly
pursue
the
criminals
who
brought
violence
to
our
city.
And
so
so.
I
can't
thank
you
all
enough
for
your
efforts
and
I
think
this
this
whole
body
does
appreciate
it.
D
D
J
J
So
I
I
totally
agree
that
as
much
accurate
information
as
we
can
put
out
on
a
regular
basis
before
we
before
we're
asked,
I
think
it's
really
in
everyone's
best
interest
and
I'm
personally
very
proud
to
be
a
member
of
our
community
and
to
be
served
so
well
by
the
cpd
and,
as
you
said,
all
of
the
collaborating
partners
that
we
have.
Yes.
K
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
I
just
joined
today
to
listen
in,
and
I've
had
a
lot
of
my
questions
and
concerns
addressed
by
our
staff
and
as
well
as
our
fellow
council
members
that
serve
on
the
committee,
and
I
just
want
to
echo
council
member
jackson's
remarks.
I
mean
there's
just
so
much.
We
live
in
an
age
where
there's
so
much
misinformation,
there's
so
much
spin,
there's
so
much
agendas,
there's
so
much
politics.
K
It's
just
wonderful
to
actually
listen
to
facts
from
the
people
that
know
what
they're
talking
about,
and
I
do
think
that
we've
got
the
facts.
We've
got.
You
know
an
account
of
what
happened,
and
I
think
that
it's
incumbent
upon
us
to
perhaps
find
more
ways
in
more
proactive
ways,
perhaps
to
get
that
message
out.
So
I
appreciate
everybody's
hard
work
and
dedication
to
our
city.
Thank
you.
K
L
Yes,
I
appreciate
you
acknowledging
me
councilmember
sheahead.
I
was
just
wondering
if
you
could
fill
me
in
susan
again.
I'm
sorry,
I
missed
your
report,
mr
dina,
but
I
was
wondering
if,
if
our
prosecutor
was
on
the
line,
because
I
I
could
have
sworn
you
s,
somebody
told
me
that
he
would
be
available
to
answer
questions
or
is
he?
Is
he
on
the
line
or.
D
L
Well,
there's
no
point
because
if
my
me
and
my
question
that
I'm
going
to
ask
is
going
to
ask
her
to
go
over
her
report
again,
I
guess
I
will
wait
until
that
report
is
given
at
council
or
the
summary
at
least
and
save
my
question
on
on
that.
For
for
city
council,
I
did
have
a
discussion
area
item
on
the
city
council
agenda.
L
I
was
hoping
that
you
know
I
could
get
y'all's
feedback
from
this
committee
and,
of
course,
the
the
chief
and
the
mayor.
You
know
I
would
like
to
see
a
public
hearing
where
we
as
a
council
can
ask
questions
on
the
record
and
and
get
some
feedback
from
some
of
our
business
owners
about
those
riots,
and
I'm
just
wondering
whether
or
not
what
y'all
think
of
that
idea.
D
M
M
M
Hopefully
this
week
I
believe
this
week,
new
signage,
requiring
the
mandate
for
mask
or
face
coverings
will
be
installed
on
king
street
throughout
the
king
street
area,
as
an
added
measure
to
notify
the
public
that
the
ordinances
do
exist
and
are
in
play,
and
we
have
continued
to
coordinate
with
the
police
department
chief
reynolds
and
his
staff,
who
cover
obviously
night
night
time
issues
and
that's
about
all.
I
have
for
the
update.
B
So
dan,
I
think
it
was
just
it's
just
you
and
your
karma,
I'm
sitting
here
and
a
carriage
just
went
by
my
house
as
we're
speaking-
and
I
saw
me
I
just
jumped
up.
It
is
the
first
carrot.
That's
gone
by
my
house
that
everyone
has
been
wearing
a
mask,
so
you
must
be
doing
something
right.
It's
taken
a
while,
but
so
mark
date
and
time
we
finally
had
a
full
carriage.
Everybody
had
a
mask
on.
So
I'm
giving
you
full
credit
for
that.
Well,.
M
D
A
E
A
I
think
today's
numbers
are
the
lowest
I've
seen
since
since
back
in
may,
and
maybe
that's
because
not
many
people
were
getting
checked
out
on
labor
day,
but
so
maybe
it'll
level
out
by
the
end
of
the
week,
but
we
have
seen
a
market
drop,
particularly
in
the
city,
zip
codes
in
number
of
cases
and
and
compliance
has
been
increasing.
So
even
though
there's
been
a
lot
of
focus
about
the
number
of
tickets,
given
the
compliance
and
the
net
effects
to
public
health
and
safety
is,
is
the
paramount
issue
here.
J
J
J
But
if
we
could
just
assure
this
gentleman
that
that
when
you
send
an
officer
in
for
enforcement
purposes,
into
an
establishment
and
as
long
as
the
employees
and
our
and
the
owner
are
doing
everything
possible
to
obey
the
ordinance,
we
are
not
issuing
citations
if
the
customers
are
are
negligent.
Is
that
correct.
M
M
Basically,
they
are
responsible
to
have
the
masks
on
and
they
can
be
issued
a
citation
if
they
don't.
However,
they're
not
responsible
for
enforcing
their
customers,
but
they're
strongly
encouraged
to
do
everything
possible
to
send
that
message
with
signage
and
reminders,
but
feel
free
for
any
business
to
call
us
and
say
come
on
in
and
take
a
look.
We
have
not
had
that
particular
request
yet,
but
we
are
certainly
will
accommodate
if
we
do
get
that
request.
D
Thank
you,
councilmember
jackson
and
mr
mayor,
mr
councilman,
seeking.
I
understand
that
president
xu
from
the
college
of
charleston
is
joining
us
for
our
council
meeting
today,
the
the
college
of
charleston
still
on
online,
and
I
think
that's
part
of
the
discussion
that
they're
having
I'm
not
very
proud
of
my
album,
auto,
leading
the
state,
and
maybe
almost
a
country
in
the
number
of
college
students
in
colombia
with
clover,
19
cases
and
the
number
of
the
quarantine
that
they're
doing
up
in
in
colombia.
D
It's
unfortunate
and
there's
an
article
of
major
universities
throughout
the
country
with
a
high
rise
in
cover
19
cases
kicking
into
gear,
because
students
are
coming
back
and
they're
having
parties
and
social
gatherings.
So
it's
it
is
clearly
a
a
spike
in
those
college
towns
that
are
creating
a
problem
across
the
country.
A
B
So
so,
mr
chairman,
thanks
for
bringing
that
up
and
I'm
going
to,
let
president
chu
tonight
speak
for
himself
because
he
speaks
very
eloquently
about
sort
of
their
role
as
good
citizens
and
partners
with
the
city
as
they
repopulate
the
peninsula,
with
up
to
and
including
10
000
students,
and
certainly
your
alma
mater
has
not
made
his
job
any
easier
for
sure,
and
I've
actually
noticed.
My
street
seems
to
be
a
good
example
of
lots
of
things
going
on
today.
A
lot
of
students
coming
back
on
campus
and
living
and
off
campus
housing.
B
So
he's
got
some
observations
and
some
points
he's
going
to
make
tonight
which
I'll
let
him
make.
But
I
think
that
we
can
work
with
the
college
as
we
move
forward
through
the
next
few
months
of
uncertainty
with
covid
and
put
some
things
in
place
that
aren't
draconian
but
do
help
them
with
their
mandate
that
their
students
wear
masks
they're,
requiring
that
they
do
it
they're,
making
it
an
academic
offense
if
they
don't,
but
they
can
only
go
so
far.

chief
reynolds
is
still
on.
I
don't
know
if
you're
going
to
be
on
city
council
tonight,
but
just
for
his
report,
it
may
be
worth
just
taking
a
listen
or
talking
to
chip
about
sort
of
their
thoughts
about
partnering
up
because
without
putting
too
much
more
workload
on
you,
because
you
have
too
much,
I
do
think
that
there's
some
partnering
we
can
do
with
them.
As
these
now
10
000
new
residents
of
the
city
come
back
into
place
in
the
next
week
or
so.
C
B
D
M
C
So
we
began
work
immediately
after
the
events
of
the
30th,
the
31st.
We
do
try
to
do
an
after-action
of
just
about
everything
we
do,
and
obviously
this
is
a
big
big
event
that
had
a
huge
impact
on
our
city
and
our
department
on
many
many
people
in
the
business
community,
in
our
residential
communities
etc.
All
of
our
partners,
so
we
began
work
in
june.
Gathering
information,
we've
formed
committees
and
we've
had
continuous
work
amidst
the
ongoing
protests.
C
I
think
last
check
just
since
we
started
permitting
again
we've
permitted
over
40
different
protests
and
that's
not
to
mention
all
the
pop-up
events
and
a
variety
of
other
things.
So
we
have
a
very
high
op
tempo
in
our
department
right
now,
not
just
related
to
civil
unrest
and
protests,
but
a
variety
of
other
things,
and
during
that
period
our
command.
C
The
command
of
that
incident
has
we
have
meetings
scheduled
next
week.
In
addition,
a
variety
of
meetings
that
we've
had
already
we
have
conducted
and
I'll
just
go
out
a
limb
and
say
spent
hundreds
of
hours
between
our
attorneys
and
our
command
and
a
variety
of
other
entities
meticulously
reviewing
tapes
and
body
camera
video
and
have
spent
a
lot
of
work.
D
B
D
D
A
A
D
And
let
me
just
comment
about
what
the
mayor
just
said:
that's
100
within
our
purview,
as
this
committee
is
responsible
for-
and
I
mentioned
this
earlier
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
of
our
overview
and
our
oversight
for
police
fire,
the
municipal
court
and
emergency
management.
That's
our
responsibility.
D
We
did
have
a
preliminary
report
on
july
1st
from
heather
malloy,
based
on
her
review
of,
I
think
six
and
a
half
hours
of
the
communication
between
the
police
on
channel
three
of
their
police
channels.
So
we've
had
a
good
preview
of
of
those
communications
and
what
occurred
on
the
afternoon
of
the
30th
through
the
31st,
we'll
get
a
more
update
report
sometime
later
this
month
and
then
we'll
bring
it
to
full
council.
I
L
I
L
L
Bad,
but
basically
my
point
is
you
know
I
feel
like
this
is
bigger
than
the
committee
bigger
than
the
council.
I
mean,
obviously
when
something
happens
for
the
first
time
in
over
a
hundred
years.
It's
and
you
know
we're
still
facing
the
aftermath
of
the
decision
making
from
everybody
on
that.
Don't
you
think
that
my
opinion
is
that
we
should
have
a
public
hearing
on
the
matter
so
that
you
know
business
owners
can
also
comment
and
express
their
opinions
on
the
matter
and
council
members
can
ask
questions
for
response.
D
Well,
certainly,
we're
going
to
have
like
we're
doing
right
now
the
opportunity
for
council
members
to
ask
questions
like
you're
doing
right
now
and
councilmember
jackson,
councilman
rappel.
I
made
comments
about
and
asked
questions
we're
certainly
going
to
have
that
opportunity.
Councilmember
jackson,
I
mean
councilman
sacrament
had
his
hand
up.
So
let
me
let
me
hear
from
him
first.
I
B
C
keynes,
so
just
very
briefly,
and
I
don't
have
councilmember
griffin
still
there-
I
think,
sort
of
the
order
it
should
go.
If
that's
what
this
committee
is
thinking
and
I'd
certainly
support
it
is,
we
should
receive
the
report,
it
will
become
part
of
a
packet.
I
assume
at
that
point.
It
will
be
public
anyway,
and
then
we,
I
think,
mr
chairman,
you
have
the
discretion
as
you,
although
generally
our
committees,
don't
have
public
comment
periods.
B
D
That
was
sort
of
my
my
feeling
as
as
well.
I
was
going
to
babysat
this
to
be
as
thorough
as
we
possibly
could
be
thorough.
This
is
our
responsibility.
This
is
exactly
what
this
committee
is
set
up
to
do
to
provide
this.
This
oversight
we've
got
some
very
experienced
council
members
on
on
this
committee
and
very
experienced
lawyers
and
law
enforcement.
D
Folks
on
this,
who
are
avail
to
support
us
and
provide
input
and
answer
our
questions
so
certainly
when
we
are
going
to
be
transparent
as
transparent
as
we
humanly
can
be
to
to
provide
folks
to
have
questions
and
input
into
this.
But
let's
babysat
this.
I
want
to
get
the
report
first
then,
as
we
get
the
report
that
we
can
discuss
how
we
want
to
proceed
from
that
once
we
know
what
it
looks
like
and
get
the
feel
for
it.
Councilman
sheila,
you
unmuted
yourself,
so
I
take
that
as
an
opportunity.
G
Well,
yeah.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
You
know
I'm
glad
that
we've
got
solid
dates
on
when
things
are
going
to
happen
now
and
when
we're
going
to
have
a
final
report,
but
I
agree
with
with
all
of
you
and
that
we
need
to
get
that
final
report
and
get
all
the
information
and
certainly
if,
if
we
feel
at
that
time,
I'll
support
it
that
that
we
can
have
some
public
comment
and
hear
from
the
public
on
this.
So
thank
you
so.
D
Chief
rentals
to
get
the
report
before
the
end
of
the
month.
This
is
the
eighth
of
september
and
then
once
we
get
that,
then
we'll
be
in
contact
with
the
committee
and
we'll
we'll
set
up
another
hearing
date.
I'm
not
a
hearing
date
to
talk
like
a
lawyer
set
up
another
meeting
date
and
then
we'll
we'll
proceed
from
that
point.
Then
we'll
come
up
with
some
procedures
on
how
we
want
to
handle
that
report.
We
want
to
digest.
It
is
that
suitable
to
my
committee.
D
D
G
I'm
sorry
I
just
wanted
to
ask
you
know
with
some
of
the
storms
that
are
happening
around
the
southeast
and
everything
I
know
in
the
past.
We
have
offered
our
support
to
other
places.
The
timing
may
not
be
right
right
now,
but
I
didn't
know
if
we
had
any
plans
in
place.
You
know
I
know
lake
charles
is
suffering.
G
You
know
right
now
and
getting
support
from
other
municipalities.
I
just
didn't
know.
I
know
in
the
past
we've
had
plans
that
if
we
needed
to
help
a
neighboring
city
it
may
like,
I
said
I
know
we're
hurting
right
now
from
different
things
right
now,
so
the
timing
might
not
be
right,
but
I
thought
I
would
bring
that
up
and
just
and
just
ask
if
there
is
any
plans,
if,
if
we
have
a
neighboring
area
hit
by
a
major
hurricane
or
any
other
kind
of
catastrophe,.
D
N
Thought
you
could
get
it
out
of
this
meeting
without
being
called
off,
so
I
was
prepping
to
go.
It's
a
good
question,
so
we
have
automatic
and
mutual
aid
agreements
with
departments
in
the
state.
So
if
anybody
in
the
state
needs
assistance,
it's
only
almost
a
seamless
process
for
us
to
get
resources
on
the
road
very
quickly
related
to
the
hurricane
that
impacted
louisiana.
C
Thank
you.
Likewise,
we've
we've,
since
I've
been
here,
have
sent
people
to
other
parts
of
the
state
in
that
same
in
that
same
light
and
we're
always
thinking
about
others,
even
in
the
riot
environment,
others
that
might
need
help
just
like
we've,
been
helped,
so
we're
always
kind
of
prepared
for
that
constantly
on
the
phone
with
sled
and
other
groups
that
have
not
only
a
via
fema
and
other
requests
tentacles
within
the
state,
but
in
other
areas
in
this
region,.
D
Very
good
all
right
any
other
business
to
come
before
this
committee
cnn.
I
got
10
minutes
before
the
next
real
estate
committee
meeting
goes
into
gear.
So
thank
you
all
very
much
and
I'll
see
a
good
number
of
you
in
about
10
15
minutes
and
the
rest
of
you
at
4
30..
Thank
you
all
very
much.
We
are
hereby
adjourned.
