Description
City of Charleston Committee on Public Safety 9/11/23
C
C
I
think
we're
just
missing
one
council
member.
We
have
a
quorum
present.
This
is
the
September
11
2023
meeting
of
the
Public
Safety
Committee.
We
have
a
very
long
and
very
involved
agenda
ahead
of
us,
this
being
the
anniversary
date
of
9
11.
I
called
Chief
Courier
this
morning
and
asked
him
if
he
would
be
so
kind
as
to
lead
us
in
an
invocation
and
commemoration
of
that
very
fateful
day.
I
will
tell
you
that
there
are
two
events
in
my
life
that
I
remember
exactly
where
I
was
at
the
time.
C
I
heard
the
news
I'm,
the
mayor
and
I
are
both
old
enough
to
remember
the
date
that
John
Kennedy
was
assassinated
and
probably
where
we
were
I.
Remember
that
very
explicitly
and
the
second
event
in
my
life
that
I
remember
exactly
where
I
was
was
on
September,
the
11th
and
and
my
office
I
was
in
and
what
was
going
on
at
that
time.
C
Two
events
that
Mark
I
guess
my
life.
Unfortunately,
of
things
you
just
don't
forget
and
it's
part
of
our
responsibilities,
I
think
as
Community
leaders
and
Civic
leaders
that
we
don't
let
these
events
pass
by
and
go
into
Oblivion.
We
need
to
remember
those
firefighters
and
police
officers
and
several
other
Heroes.
C
E
E
Please
protect
our
firefighters
and
police
officers
every
day,
but
especially
today,
as
we
remember
the
selfless
actions
of
so
many
at
the
World
Trade
Center,
the
Pentagon
and
in
Pennsylvania
May.
Their
sacrifice
strengthen
our
resolve
to
accomplish
your
will
today
and
every
day
in
Jesus
name,
we
pray,
amen,
amen,.
C
G
C
H
C
G
C
Cnn,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
in
the
opposed
eyes
have
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
The
second
item
of
it
on
our
agenda
is
a
police
and
fire
department's
approval
to
accept
a
2023
Port
security,
Grant
Award
of
411
000,
to
fund
cpd's,
request
to
outfit
the
explosive
device
team
and
drive
on
docs
for
Harbor
Patrol
and
the
file
Apartments
request
for
the
Hazmat
response.
Training
prop
and
upgrade
Electronics
there's
a
25
match
of
137
160
required
who's
going
to
take
this
on.
For
us.
H
C
H
C
F
B
A
H
A
A
C
C
F
C
All
right
any
opposed
eyes.
Have
it
good
I
keep
Korea
we're
back
to
you
on
item
number
five,
which
is
the
state
of
the
fire
department
and
folks
we
usually
do
this
on
an
annual
basis.
We
try
to
get
an
update
from
our
various
the
Departments
and
divisions
that
fall
under
the
Public
Safety
Committee
purview.
C
E
The
trends
are
overwhelmingly
positive,
although
the
the
challenges
that
we
can
that
we
Face
are
somewhat
complex
and
there's
no
easy
fixes
to
the
things
that
we
really
have
to
work
on,
we'll
have
a
slide
or
two,
but
most
notably
the
diversity
or
the
lack
of
diversity
in
the
fire
department.
It's
something
that
we
are
constantly
working
on
and
there's
no
quick
fix
to
get
that
taken
care
of,
and
then
also
the
facilities
for
the
fire
department,
lots
of
improvement
over
the
last
four
and
a
half
years,
but
still
some
challenges
that
we
face.
E
The
positive
in
all.
That
is
that
those
two
big
things
don't
impact
the
operations
of
the
fire
department,
whether
it's
how
we
put
a
fire
out
how
we
handle
a
medical
call,
How
We,
Do,
code
enforcement.
We
just
know
that
we
can
do
it
better.
So
as
soon
as
Britney
gets
that
pulled
up,
I'll
keep
going.
E
E
E
E
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
trying
to
do
is
focusing
on
trusting
culture
trying
to
be
transparent,
trying
to
be
responsive,
trying
to
be
present
both
physically
and
with
whatever
information
we
get
from
the
Department.
We
try
to
listen
to
concerns
of
not
just
the
firefighters
but
any
employee
in
the
fire
department
who
try
to
act
on
them
as
it's
appropriate
and
realize
that
FaceTime
is
important.
E
So,
just
in
the
current
calendar
year
from
January
to
last
week,
senior
leadership
as
defined
as
assistant,
Chiefs,
Deputy,
Chiefs
and
I,
have
made
180
station
visits
and
we
don't
count
if
we
just
stop
by
a
firehouse
and
stay
for
a
couple
of
minutes.
We
don't
count
that
as
a
as
a
visit,
what
we
mean
is
we've
gone
in,
and
we've
sat
down
and
we've
stayed
for
a
meaningful
amount
of
time
engaged
in
conversations.
What
we're
doing
well,
what
we
need
to
improve
on
suggestions
to
make
the
department
better.
E
So
we've
done
that
180
times
so
far
this
year
and
our
goal
is
every
station
every
shift
every
year.
So
we're
well
well
above
the
number
of
events
that
we
need
to
make.
So
we'll
continue
that
going
forward
to
go
over
to
the
operations
vacancy
rate
operations
in
the
fire
department
is
the
the
fire
trucks
going
up
and
being
on
the
road.
So
in
2018
we
were
at
21
as
a
vacancy
rate.
When
I
came
into
the
department,
we
had
74
vacancies
in
the
Operations
Division
that
got
as
high
as
79.
E
E
In
2023
we
have
a
zero
point:
seven
percent
vacancy
rate.
We
have
419
positions
authorized
in
the
Charleston
fire
department.
We
have
416
of
those
positions
filled,
we
were
100
staffed
in
July,
but
since
that
time
we
have
lost
three
position
or
three
personnel.
None
of
those
Personnel
is
a
uniformed
person,
so
our
operations,
Staffing,
is,
is
still
holding
very
strong
and
that
0.7
percent
actually
is
department-wide
vacancy
rate.
E
Our
operations
vacancy
rate
right
now
is
100
staff,
so
zero,
a
normal
vacancy
rate,
is
about
five
percent
for
a
department
our
size,
so
we
would
expect
to
lose
about
21
Personnel
per
year.
That's
across
all
divisions.
Last
year
we
lost
38
people,
and
this
year,
as
of
today,
we
have
lost
17
people
in
the
department.
Now
it's
important
to
stress
some
of
those
were
retirements,
some
of
the
resignations
and
some
of
those
were
outside
the
normal
time.
Some
of
those
people
be
actually
moved
out
of
the
organization
ourselves.
E
E
C
E
I
I
think
it's
it's
a
combination
of
those
two.
Now
the
training
program
hasn't
reduced
any
now,
but
our
hiring
process
has
reduced
and
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
little
bit.
I
really
think
that
the
the
reduction
in
the
vacancy
rate,
it
would
be
simple
to
say
it's
as
easy
as
we're
paying
more
money,
but
I
do
think
that
that's
a
factor
the
the
raise
that
Council
appropriated
for
fiscal
2023.
It
was
a
huge
huge
boost
in
the
fire
department.
E
E
I
think
that
the
pay
is
one
of
those
things
I
think
our
firefighters
see
that
the
city
is
investing
in
the
facilities
that
we're
putting
our
firefighters
in
and
put
them
in
very,
very
good
gear.
Our
call
volume
is
such
that
they
they
go
out
and
they
have
the
opportunity
to
use
their
skills
and,
last
but
not
least,
I
think
people
see
that
that
leadership
really
cares
about
what
they're
doing
and.
E
So
positive
trends
for
us,
as
I
already
said,
stated,
we've
reached
a
full
Staffing
in
July
of
2023
late
last
year
we
filled
all
our
competitive
promotional
positions,
which
was
huge.
Our
automatic
Aid,
which
Chief
Tom
Carr
championed
after
the
sofa
Superstore
fire
has
gone
from
five
departments
to
seven
departments,
with
Isle
of
Palms
coming
on
board.
Just
in
2023
our
facilities
are
improving.
I'll
have
a
slide
about
that
in
a
minute,
but
there
there
is
more
work
to
do.
E
Our
hiring
process
has
reduced
from
months
to
go
through
the
process
and
get
a
job
offer
for
the
Charleston
Fire
Department,
and
that
has
been
an
incredible
amount
of
work
for
administrative
team,
but
we
now
bring
potential
firefighters
in
on
a
Saturday
morning.
We
run
them
through
their
testing
in
their
interviews
on
Saturday
and
Sunday
on
Monday,
we'll
process,
all
the
paperwork
and
we
issue
job
offers
on
Tuesday,
and
we
give
them
three
or
four
weeks
to
give
their
their
resignations
at
their
current
jobs,
relocate
to
Charleston.
E
If
that's
the
need-
and
then
we
start
them
in
the
fire
academy,
so
four
days
to
hire
a
firefighter
now
and
then
also
we
had
our
strategic
plan
revamped
and
the
slide
below
there.
We
now
have
a
new
Mission,
a
new
mission
statement.
You
see
our
new
mission
statement
is
excellent
people
providing
exceptional
service.
We
want
to
bring
good
people
in.
We
want
to
train
them.
E
Well,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
their
core
values
are
aligned
with
the
fire
department,
and
if
we
can
do
that
in
the
service
that
they
give
is
going
to
be
exactly
what
you
expect
of
the
fire
department
and
exactly
what
I
expect
of
the
fire
department,
because
they're
going
to
be
living,
it
they're
not
just
going
to
go
through
the
motions
and
the
new
vision
statement
is
to
create
a
safer
Charleston.
You
notice
in
neither
of
those
is
the
word
fire
mentioned,
and
that's
very
intentional.
E
Our
job
in
the
City
of
Charleston
is
to
create
an
environment
in
which
everybody
in
the
City
of
Charleston
is
a
little
bit
safer
today
than
they
were
yesterday,
and
they
should
be
a
little
bit
safer
tomorrow
than
they
are
today
now,
whether
that's
through
top-notch
fire
service,
which
you
expect
out
of
us.
That's
that's
one
way
we
accomplish
it.
We
do
it
through
very,
very
good
Medical
Care
code
enforcement,
but
it
also
comes
down
to
how
do
we
treat
the
people
in
the
city
and
do
we
engage
with
them
on
a
more
personal
level?
E
Do
we
invest
in
their
knowledge
of
how
they
can
keep
themselves
safe?
How
do
we
move
all
those
initiatives
forward
so
that
people
who
are
either
living
in
or
visiting
the
city
can
invest
in
their
own
safety,
and
the
fire
department
becomes
that
safety
valve
that
they
may
never
use?
So
those
are
the
things
we're
working
on
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,.
E
We
have
tried
different
ways
to
address
this
issue,
but
so
far
we
haven't
had
the
success
that
we've
won.
Now,
if
you
ask
what
what
are
we
trying
to
do,
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
have
the
fire
department
mirror
the
diversity
of
the
city
and
the
overarching
reason
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
happens?
Is
that
the
more
we
align
with
the
demographics
of
the
city,
the
better
we
connect
with
the
residents
of
the
city,
the
better?
E
We
understand
what
they
need
from
us,
what
they
want
from
us
and
the
better
we
can
deliver
service
to
them.
Put
it
another
way
if
there
is
a
young
child
standing
on
the
side
of
Calhoun
Street
and
that
child
sees
a
fire
truck
go
by
I
want
there
to
be
a
really
really
good
chance
that
when
that
that
child
looks
at
the
firefighters
that
child
sees
somebody
that
he
or
she
can
identify
with,
and
if
that
just
Sparks
the
thought
that
this
could
be
a
career
for
me,
then
we'll
be
doing
our
jobs.
E
So
to
do
to
accomplish
that,
we
did
put
a
diversity
and
recruitment
position
in
place
in
2021.
We
have
a
consultant
there's
an
RFP
out
right
now
for
a
consultant
to
come
in
and
help
Charleston
fire
department.
Look
at
our
current
practices
and
recommend
improvements.
Look
at
what
our
future
practices
need
to
be
with
the
goal
of
having
diversity
reflect
out
of
the
city.
E
Our
current
recruit
class,
which
is
39
people
right
now,
is
82
and
a
half
percent
white
seven
and
a
half
percent
black
10
percent
other
or
multi-racial
and
97.5
male.
So
we
are
making
some
strides
in
the
diversity
as
far
as
ethnicity.
We
are
still
struggling
with
male
female,
so
we
will
continue
to
work
on
that.
E
We
took
a
huge
leap
forward
in
fiscal
2023
and,
if
I
haven't
thanked
each
of
you
personally,
I
need
to
thank
each
of
you
personally,
for
what
you
did
for
for
firefighters,
for
police
officers
for
everybody
else
in
the
city
concerning
pay.
I
do
know
that
our
firefighters
are
still
struggling
with
the
cost
of
living
in
the
in
the
City
of
Charleston,
which
is
driving
them
a
little
further
out
and
having
them
drive
back
into
the
city
for
their
shifts
with
the
fire
department.
So
that's
something
that
we
have
to
work
on.
E
Our
fire
marshal
division
is
the
only
uniformed
section
of
the
Charleston
fire
department
that
is
not
in
the
fire.
Now
that
is
the
number
one
budget
request
of
the
fire
department
this
year
is
to
roll
the
Fire
Marshals
Into
the
Fire
pay
plan
as
we
envision
it.
It's
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollar
request
and
the
way
I
like
to
think
of
that
is:
can
you
imagine
if,
in
the
police
department,
everybody
was
in
the
pay
plan,
except
for
the
detectives,
but
the
detectives
for
whatever
reason
for
outside
the
pay
plan?
E
I
think
we
would
all
look
at
that
and
think
that
it
needs
to
be
corrected.
So
we
do
need
to
move
the
fire.
The
Fire
Marshals
into
the
paid
plan.
We
do
have
a
continued
need
for
leadership.
Development
about
67
of
the
Chiefs
in
the
fire
department
have
been
in
their
positions
less
than
three
years.
So
just
building
that
good,
cohesive
team,
we
can
handle
a
fire
incident.
E
We
can
handle
a
medical
incident,
but
getting
everybody
to
pull
together
and
function
as
one
to
make
sure
the
department
is
moving
in
the
direction
you
expect
it
to
move
is
one
of
those
works
that
we
are
constantly
focusing
on
and
then
another
big
issue
is
to
improve
or
maintain
the
service
delivery
in
a
growing
City.
So
what
I
mean
by
that
is
canehoy
is
is
growing
incredibly
fast.
E
Daniel
Island
is
growing,
John's
Island
is
growing,
but
to
to
get
firefighters
hired
to
get
them
trained,
to
put
fire
houses
in
place
to
procure
the
apparatus
that
we
need
to
protect
those
communities.
It's
a
slow,
slow
process
so
just
trying
to
plan
out
to
work
with
the
city
work
with
bfrc
work
with
real
estate
work
with
parks
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
everything
in
place
to
maintain
protection
in
the
city
is
a
big,
Challenge
and
I.
Think
you'll
see
that
in
the
next
slide.
E
So
if
we
give
them
that
so
over
the
last
four
and
a
half
years,
we
have
done
so
much
great
work
with
our
facilities
and
I've
got
everything
listed
here.
I
can
send
everything
out,
so
you
can
have
a
look,
but
the
the
biggest
things
that
bear
comment
are
just
about
every
facility
upon
the
peninsula.
It
needs
some
more.
So
we
just
opened
station
six
on
Cannon
Street
that
had
an
extensive
renovation
and,
of
course,
where
fire
headquarters
is
at
station.
E
E
All
of
those
facilities
need
to
be
renovated
right
now.
The
challenge
that
we
face
that
we
have
no
place
to
relocate
the
fire
protection
while
the
facilities
are
shut
down,
so
I
have
to
be
very
strategic
in
the
timeline
for
that.
So
those
things
are
are
the
things
that
keep
me
up
at
night.
To
be
honest
with
you,
so
there's
lots
of
work
to
be
done
on
the
peninsula.
E
Both
are
firehouses
on
James
Island
have
recently,
within
the
last
four
and
a
half
years,
both
undergone
complete
renovations
on
John's
Island,
the
new
fire
station
23,
which
will
be
at
Maybank,
Highway
and
Wilson
battery.
We
are
scheduled
to
break
ground
in
the
first
quarter
of
2024
for
that
facility.
I'm.
Looking
at
my
board
now
and
I
just
spoke
to
Beth
Brownlee
about
that,
and
she
said
once
we
break
ground,
we
should
expect
an
18-month
construction
phase
that
we
do
need
additional
fire
protection
on
John's
Island,
but
that's
programmed
into
our
our
growth
documents.
E
So
we
know
that
that
needs
to
occur.
It's
nothing
that
needs
to
occur
right
now.
I
just
put
it
on
the
slide
to
make
sure
everybody's
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
for
the
next
several
years
we
will
be
jumping
back
and
forth
across
the
city
trying
to
increase
Fire
Protection
in
cane
Hoy
in
Daniel
Island
and
in
John's
Island,
so
we'll
be
going
back
and
forth
every
year
and
the
Personnel
costs
will
be
will
be
pretty
substantial.
F
E
C
E
C
E
You
about
to
wrap
up
yes,
sir,
just
okay,
very
close,
obviously
I.
Think
I
I've
spoken
at
length
about
station
20
in
cane
Hoy,
so
we
are
still
working
through
the
end.
The
land
acquisition
with
Parks
we've
already
begun.
The
conceptual
design
of
that
firehouse
and
Parks
is
ready
to
start
programming
meetings
with
the
fire
department
to
make
sure
we
have
the
facility
that
we
need.
We
are
Station.
E
E
I
want
you
to
rest
assured
that
you
have
a
fantastic
fire
department
providing
protection
for
you.
Obviously,
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
efforts
are
a
huge
lift
for
the
department,
but
it's
something
that
we're
committed
to
we'll
continue
to
address
pay
and
retention
challenges,
be
good
with
retention
and
we'll
keep
working
to
make
sure
that
our
firefighters
are
proactively
dealing
with
the
cost
of
living
issues
that
we're
facing
moving
the
Fire
Marshals
into
the
pay
plan
will
be
important,
for
us
just
saw
a
slide
about
our
facilities.
E
Our
big
thing
is
to
make
sure
that
we
are
out
in
the
community
and
we
are
making
sure
we
create
a
community
that
can
protect
themselves
and
then
use
us
as
a
secondary
measure
when
they
can't
take
care
of
themselves,
will
continue
with
leadership
development
all
this
from
2018
to
now,
if
I
were
to
boil
it
down,
I
would
say
family.
The
big
changes
in
the
Charleston
fire
department
revolve
around
that
word
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
our
firefighters
know
they
are
not
employee
numbers
to
us.
E
E
Absolutely
I
forgot
to
mention
that
I
spoke
with
Jason
cronsberg
in
the
recent
past,
so
the
plants
for
the
memorial
were
delivered
late
last
week.
They
are
going
to
plant
them
this
week
there
had
been
an
issue
with
the
irrigation
system
at
the
site.
The
irrigation
system
has
been
taken.
Care
of
100
of
the
edging
has
been
taken
up
and
put
down
again
to
make
sure
it's
exactly
the
way
we
need
for
it
to
be
so.
E
I
don't
have
a
projected
completion
date,
but
I
can
tell
you.
We
are
well
well
down
that
road
and
the
focus
Jason,
cromsburg
and
I
jointly
agree
if
we
have
to
take
it
a
little
bit
slower
but
make
sure
that
it's
right,
that's
the
highest
priority
for
us,
so
we
are
getting
there
well,
I.
Think
within
a
couple
of
weeks,
we'll
be
complete.
E
Back
when
we,
the
the
timeline,
was
a
little
less
clear
and
we
thought
it
was
going
to
be
done
around
June
18th.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
was
no
crossover
between
June
18th
and
the
completion
of
the
memorial,
but
now
that
we're
going
into
fall,
we'll
go
ahead
and
plan
a
ribbon
cutting
if
you
will
and
make
sure
that
we
honor
our
firefighters.
G
G
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
thank
Chief
curio
for
this
I
think
excellent
report
and
point
out
that
when
Chief
Curry
came
on
board
what
about
five
years
ago,
there
were
almost
80
firefighters
deficit
shortage
of
what
our
budgeted
positions
were
and
to
on
just
that.
One
point
to
report
that
we
are
full
compliment.
G
It's
just
firefighters,
I
think
is-
is
a
great
Testament
Chief
to
your
leadership
and
your
team
and
the
recruitment
efforts
that
have
gone
on
in
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
now
the
focus
on
diversity
as
well
is
all
positive
news.
Yeah
we
got
stuff
to
keep
working
on,
but
that's
what
we
do.
God
bless
you.
Thank
you.
Chief
thank.
E
F
F
You
know
that
that's
incredible
too
I
love
the
every
station
every
shift
every
year,
I
will
tell
you
when
I
came
on
as
a
new
council
member
before
you
were
fire
chief
I
was
able
to
visit
some
stations
and
and
talk
to
a
lot
of
the
firefighters
and
and
some
of
their
Association,
breakfasts
and
stuff.
Like
that,
and
a
visit
back
then,
would
not
have
been
a
happy
thing.
F
It
would
have
been
a
threatening
thing,
so
I
think
it's
awesome
what
you're
doing
going
into
those
going
into
those
firehouses
and
and
hearing
and
listening
to
to
what
our
firefighters
are
doing
and
I
just
want
to
congratulate
you
and
tell
you
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done,
bringing
the
morale
up.
So
thank
you.
I.
C
Very
good,
well
Chief
you're,
making
the
strides
in
the
right
direction,
so
you
and
I
talk
a
good
bit
and
I
know
the
things
that
you've
been
working
on
and
some
of
those
are
not
tomorrow's
fixes.
They
are
just
tomorrow's
tomorrow's
fixes.
I
I
know
you've
got
a
lot
of
work
to
do
so,
thanks
for
being
persistent
and
you're
a
big
clog
in
this
machine,
so
don't
give
yourself
a
little
credit.
Please,
sir
yeah.
G
E
C
F
D
D
D
So
during
that
time
you
can
see
our
pendy.
The
number
of
cases
filed
went
up
to
15
133
in
that
period
of
time,
from
they
actually
June,
July
and
August
of
that
we
still
had
three
thousand
and
fifteen
pending
cases,
but
I
think
the
most
significant
fact
is
the
last
box
on
the
right,
which
is
during
this
period
of
time.
D
Basically,
the
DUI
docket
is
longer
more
complex
than
the
non-dui
docket,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
the
prosecutors
share
more
cases
which
we
think
will
put
more
resources
on
the
DUI
cases,
which
will
mean
more
cases
will
bet
get
resolved
sooner
rather
than
later.
But
that's
where
we
are
today,
I
think
all
is
good.
We're
moving
forward
and
again,
thank
you
for
all
the
resources
that
you've
all
given
us.
In
the
past,
we've
got
new
cubicles
we've
got
new
paint
in
the
office,
new
chairs
for
the
Jury
Room
coming.
C
C
Thank
you!
So
just
we'll
just
go
over
these
numbers,
one
more
time
with
you,
so
the
12
043
cases
that
were
filed
in
that
period
of
June
22
through
May
of
23
and
then,
when
you
shift
over
that's
the
additional
cases
were
filed
were
26.39s
I'm.
Reading
that
right,
don't
make
sure
I'm
following
it.
So.
D
So
basically,
look
right
below
it
and
again
there
is
a
typo
in
the
chart
and
I
apologize
for
that.
So
basically,
if
we
look
at
a
period
from
6
122
to
8
31
23,
there
were
there
was
a
total
of
15
133
cases.
So
basically,
you've
got
roughly
what
300
cases
that
were
filed
in
the
three-month
period
of
time.
Okay,.
D
C
C
D
D
Thing
we
we
instituted
recently
with
the
help
of
the
police
department.
Is
we
have
a
special
docket
on
Friday
afternoons
for
group
Traffic,
Enforcement
cases,
and
so
that's
something
a
little
bit
different
that
the
police
department
requested
and
so
they've
been.
You
know
actively
using
that
extra
Court
time
and
I
think
that
is
again
adding
a
little
bit
to
the
uptick
in
traffic,
but
again
overall
I
think
we're
using
our
time
more
efficiently.
D
Actually,
we
we
have
some
very
minor
requests
for
increases
in
supplies
and
things
of
that
nature.
But
the
one
thing
that
I
I
have
talked
to
the
mayor
about
and
I
and
I
do
believe
he
supports-
is
trying
to
really
investigate
and
and
try
to
set
up
a
youth,
Education
court
here
in
the
court
as
a
as
a
new
specialty
Court,
and
it's
really
would
have
two
parts
to
it.
One
part
is
basically
reaching
out
to
middle
school
students
primarily
to
come
here
and
learn
about
how
the
court
system
works.
D
And
so
what
would
be
looking
at
are
things
like?
Maybe
minor,
vandalism
in
our
garages
or
maybe
the
Palmetto
Rose
kids,
things
of
that
nature.
Those
sort
of
minor
cases
that
are
involved
possibly
use
between
13,
14
and
17,
and
they
would
be
heard
in
a
special
venue
here
and
their
cases
would
be
heard
by
their
peers,
which
would
be
other
other
Middle
High
School
people
and
it's
not
unique.
D
C
That's
a
probably
a
very
good
idea.
Get
it
hit
that
from
you
all
right!
Well,
listen
thank
you,
for
this
is
what
we
need.
You've
paired
this
down
significantly
from
Fast
presentations,
but
that's
the
information
I
think
that
we
just
need
to
get
hold
of
and
do
want
to
hear
from
our
judges
from
time
to
time,
get
their
input
as
well.
But
I
think
this
is
a
very
good
summary
Chief
Walker
is
there
something
that
you
want
to
add
to
that
report
from
our
Municipal
Court
numbers.
B
D
C
C
But
some
issues
did
come
to
my
attention
and-
and
these
may
be
of
a
contractual
matter-
that
we
probably
need
to
get
an
update
from
our
legal
department
on
and
so
committee.
Members
with
that,
Preamble
I
would
entertain
a
motion
that
we
probably
should
go
into
executive
session
to
get
an
update
from
either
Mr
Malloy
or
Miss
Copeland,
our
chief
Walker
as
to
the
contractual
concerns
regarding
this
internal
audit,
blue
that
we're
going
to
the
executive
session.
Is
there
a
second.
