Okay,
how
about
let
me
bring
one
of
them
up.
Actually,
this
is
an
maybe
in
council,
lady
jackson,
district.
I
got
a
call
today.
Well,
I
got
an
email
today,
a
call
and
an
email
from
a
gentleman
that
lives
at
1613,
secessionville
road,
all
right.
It's
a
dispute
about
he
put
up
a
fence,
I
think
part
of
it
is
in
there.
B
I
think
he
got
a
permit
to
put
the
fence
up,
but
part
of
it
was
in
the
easement
but
apparently
good
ways
away
from
the
drainage
ease,
but
I
looked
at
it
on
the
map.
It
looks
like
it's,
maybe
like
a
50-foot
drainage,
easement
or
something
but
big
old
drainage,
easement
and
apparently
there's
some
issues
on.
I
think
whether
the
fence
is
too
tall
or
something
like
that.
Could
you
by
chance
I
mean
no
answer
to
david,
maybe
looking
into
that
to
see
whether.
C
D
Portion
of
the
elevation
there
in
order
to
keep
soil
from
rolling
onto
the
sidewalk,
they
had
to
build
a
small
retaining
wall.
I
think
it's
about
a
quarter
and
a
half
a
brick.
You
know
it's
off,
you
know
it's
off
the
right
way
to
the
back
of
the
sidewalk
and
we'll
just
to
keep
that
more
soil
and
everything
from
roading
down
onto
the
sidewalk.
C
B
B
B
Okay,
well,
let's,
let's
take
the
councilman,
would
you
take
them
one
at
a
time?
Please,
why
not?
Okay,
not
amazon!
Mr
mayor,
how
are
you
weird
and
progress
with
them?
We
call
the
meeting
the
order
and
we
replaced.
It
took
care
of
some
administrators
and
stuff.
We
down
to
item
h1,
which
is
the
low
battery
seawall.
B
We've
got
the
temporary
encroachments
and
all
of
that
behind
us
and
we're
now
at
each
one
and
mr
fountain's
going
to
address,
we
got
emotional
flow
to
prove
each
one.
Did
we
get
a
second?
I
did
it.
Okay,
I'm
sorry
probably
move
the
sega
that
mr
fountain
on
each
one,
low
battery,
c-more
repairs
phase,
one.
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
item
one
is
an
aid
to
construction
agreement
with
dominion,
energy
for
basically
installing
street
lights
along
murray
boulevard
cost
us
forty
four
thousand
five
hundred
six
dollars
and
thirty
eight
cents.
I
do
wanna
point
out.
This
is
for
sort
of
the
standard,
historic
district
street
lighting.
We
we've
also
asked
them
separately
to
take
a
look
at
what
it
would
be
to
convert
those
fixtures
to
led
lighting
and
what
the
cost
and
time
frame
would
be
for
that.
F
So,
if
we
do
get
a
favorable
response
for
them,
we
would
come
back
to
council
with
the
led
lighting
approach,
but
it
basically
it
turns
out
that
that's
going
to
be
either
far
too
much
delay
or
far
too
much
cost
for
the
project.
This
would
be.
This
would
enable
us
to
move
forward
with
the
the
standard
approach
to
lighting
on
the
project.
B
Any
additional
input
on
item
h1
now
one
thing
I
want
to
say
from
the
beginning:
I
did
get
a
good
call
from
councilman.
Seekings
he's
he's
back
to
teaching.
So
that's
that's
good
news
is
elta's
allowed
to
get
back
out
again.
Obviously
he
would
have
been
on
this
call.
Had
he
not
been
teaching
and
wanted
to
give
kudos
and
salutations,
and
we
all
need
to
do
that.
The
way
low
battery
seawall
is
rounding.
B
B
What
is
interesting
is
I
don't
know
what
so
I
wanted
to
convey
his
appreciation
for
what's
happening
with
phase
one
as
well
as
what
we
will
vote
on
on
phase
two
obviously
he's
an
enthusiastic
supporter
of
getting
ready
to
embark
upon
the
second
phase
of
phase
two
of
the
low
battery
sea
wall.
I
want
to
convey
his
sentiments
and
obviously
being
in
support
on
that
and
I'm
sure
tomorrow,
at
council
meeting
he'll
expand
further.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
This
is
the
authorization
to
approve
an
award
for
construction
on
contract
with
gulfstream
construction
company,
the
amount
of
eleven
million
nine
hundred
seventy
six
thousand
eight
hundred
fifty
five
dollars
and
two
cents.
This
is
for
phase
two
of
the
project,
the
amount
that
amount
does
include
one
million
three
hundred,
seventy
thousand
one
hundred
seventy
nine
dollars
and
forty
one
cents
of
cws
reimbursable
work
for
income
in
contract
utility
work
with
cws.
That
amount
has
been
approved,
network's
been
approved
by
cws's
board.
F
F
We
just
didn't
basically
have
that
final
moa
in
time
for
coming
to
council
this
meeting,
so
that
will
come
for
next
meeting.
We
will
basically
look
to
complete
this
authorization
to
award,
so
gulfstream
can
continue,
pulling
their
paperwork
and
prepare
for
transition
from
phase
one
to
phase
two
on
the
project,
but
prior
to
notice
or
prior.
To
knows
proceeding
and
work
actually
occurring
for
those
reimbursable
items,
we
would
make
sure
that
moa
is
passed
with
ws.
First.
B
B
Second,
probably
moved
a
second
any
any
more
questions
on
this,
my
understanding
from
mr-
and
we
also
need
to
give
some
attention
to
mr
frank,
newham.
Obviously,
who
did
a
lot
of
work
on
this
project,
and
I
mean
on
h1
and
because
of
what
was
learned
on
each
money
convey.
I
spoke
to
him
last
friday,
even
in
terms
of
possibly
these
two
could
happen
a
little
bit
sooner,
based
off
of
knowledge
gained
from
having
done
like
you
know,.
F
B
F
B
I
agree
all
right
all
in
favor
of
h2,
please
say
I
face
moving
forward
with
phase
two,
the
low
battery
seawall
repeat:
hi,
any
improvement
all
right.
It's
miss
walton
on
the
phone,
I'm
just
wondering
how
much
we
still
have
in
the
piggy
bank.
I
know
we
had
mr
mayor.
We
have
banked
up
some
money
on
this
project.
Are
we
getting?
We
still
got
a
little
surplus
left
in
the
piggy
bank
on
the
monies
we
had
put
aside
for
the
wall.
F
And
we
do
mr
chairman,
I
can.
I
can
speak
to
that
first
and
miss
wharton,
I
think,
is
on
the
line
if
she,
if
she'd
like
to
jump
in
so
the
on
the
sort
of
the
bottom
section
of
item
two,
you
can
see
the
current
modification
to
the
existing
project
budget.
So
this
is
the
cumulative
project
budget
based
on
how
much
revenue
we've
set
aside
from
australian
accommodations
tax.
So
the
current
kind
of
revenue
allocation
is
34
million,
523
000
phase,
one.
F
B
F
Five
hundred
thousand
for
design
a
couple
million
dollars
kind
of
an
initial
work
over
the
last
few
years,
so
we
do
still
have
remaining
approximately
the
amount
of
money
we
expect
for
phase
three,
but
it's
it's
getting
a
little
closer.
So
past
phase,
three
we'll
be
looking
for
additional
funding,
but
we
look
like
we
can
modify
this
to
make
it
work
through
phase
three.
Assuming
again,
no
unexpected
situations
on
phase
two
of
the
project.
B
Really,
our
economy
being
proven
by
the
time
we
get
to
phase
three
one.
Other
thing
we
need
to
point
out
on
this
is
the
coordination
with
cw
s
on
this
charleston
water
systems.
On
this
in
years
past
we
didn't
have
that
coordination,
the
men
and
myself
being
on
that
council,
I
mean
really,
I
mean
on
that
commission
really
has
and
mr
fountain,
by
the
way,
I
have
a
hand
in
glove
relationship
and
it's
really
working
out.
Well,
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
aye,
aye
aye
opposed.
Thank
you.
F
Only
that
this
this
comes
across
as
a
fee
amendment,
because
of
the
way
we
do
our
contracts.
This
is
basically
adding
the
scope
of
services
to
do
the
construction.
Engineering
inspection
work
for
phase
two:
that's
the
565
000,
so
it's
basically
adding
on
from
what
there
did
for
phase
one
to
do
that
same
work
with
jmt
for
phase
two.
B
F
F
So
this
work
is
a
again
has
a
quite
a
bit
of
in-contract
cws
work.
Cws
is
replacing
water
line
along
king
street
and
ut
street.
So
this
is
one
where
both
of
us
had
major
capital
projects
in
the
area
and
we
work
collaboratively
to
basically
save
each
other
money
from
tearing
the
street
apart
twice
and
then
having
to
restore
it
to
do
it
at
the
same
time,
under
the
project,
their
work
is
one
million,
eight
hundred
fifty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty
dollars
and
fifty
five
cents
of
that
contract.
F
It
reduces
the
total
contract
price
by
1764.63.
So
it's
a
very
minor
modification.
That's
that's
reimbursable
cws
work
as
well,
so
that
would
revise
the
total
bid
to
five
million
two
hundred
and
sixty
five
thousand
two
hundred
and
ten
dollars
and
twenty
nine
cents
there's
no
change
to
the
the
lowest
bidder
or
anything
related
to
that
on
the
the
contract.
F
The
contractor
is
aware
of
those
adjustments
and
is
fine
with
that
that
approach
the
contract
cws
will
vote
on
their
funding
of
this.
I
believe
tomorrow
morning,
at
their
board
meeting,
but
we
do
have
a
current
moa
in
place
with
them
for
this
project.
Just
the
moa
basically
says
that
the
their
cbs
board
just
needs
to
approve
that
funding,
and
they
certainly
said
they
expect
to
see
an
approval
at
a
staff
level
on
that.
F
C
Councilman
see
you
yeah,
thank
you,
mr
fountain,
and
I
think
we're
all
excited
particularly
councilmember.
Mitchell
will
be
getting
this
done,
and
this
is
the
intersection
of
my
former
parish
church
at
sacred
heart
and
very
familiar
with
the
flooding
that
takes
place
over
here,
but
I'm
just
a
little
I'm
doing
a
little
bit
of
math
as
you
were
talking
through
this.
So
the
entire
project
is
budget
to
6.9
million.
F
So
that
is
the
amount
that's
currently
set
aside
again
in,
like
the
revenue
that's
available
for
that
project,
I
think
when
we
get
through
phase
two
we're
obviously
gonna
need
to
have
an
increase
to
the
overall
project
budget,
but
that
will
work
through
the
phase
one
component
for
again
we're
this
gets
a
little
more
complicated.
We're
currently
doing,
we've
previously
done
a
conceptual
study
within
that
budget.
F
F
That's
ongoing,
plus
this
construction
budget
to
the
6.9
million
that
you
see
at
the
bottom
there
right
and
that's
from
those
funding
sources
it's
just
as
a
portion
of
that
comes
from
the
cooper
bridge,
tiff,
a
portion
of
that
about
500
000
comes
from
the
south
carolina
rural
infrastructure
agency
grant
and
then
the
the
1.8
million
roughly
comes
from
the
cws
reimbursable
and
then
there's
a
another
component
of
drainage
fund.
Basically,
which
is
the
remainder
of
that
money.
C
So
I
think
you
just
said
this,
so
the
out
of
the
5.2
million
the
charleston
water
is
on
on
the
hook
for
1.8
of
that
five
point:
correct:
yes,
yes!
So
how
do
this
more
out
of
curiosity
than
anything
else?
How
do
how
are
you
all
able
to
sort
of
assign
that
percentage
or
that
value
of
that
is
it?
Is
it
something
that's
very
scientific,
or
is
it
just
a
guess,
sort
of
figuring
it
out
as
you
go
along
with
this.
F
Yeah
this
one
actually
is
really
scientific.
So
we
each
design
our
own
project
work
they're,
combined
into
a
single
set
of
drawings
and
specifications,
but
then
the
contractor
bids
on
individual
line
items
for
each
portion
of
that
work
and
it's
separated
out
in
the
in
the
bid
tab
called
the
bid
tabulation
for
here
are
the
city
items
and
how
much
it
costs.
You
know
per
linear
foot
of
granite
curve,
you're
going
to
install
and
per
linear
foot
of
42
inch.
F
You
know
concrete
storm
water,
pipe
you're
going
to
install
and
then
the
cws
section
it
will
say
you
know
here's
how
many
of
these
eight
inch
gaskets
are
being
installed.
Here's
how
much
ductile
iron
water
pipe
is
being
installed
and
the
contractors
will
basically
bid
each
of
those
line.
Items
we'll
add
up
the
items
from
cws,
say:
here's
how
much
your
items
cost
within
the
contract
and
then
add
up
the
items
from
the
city
say:
here's
how
much
our
items
cost.
F
A
And
matt,
it
won't
surprise
me
at
all
that
you've
already
thought
about
this
in
advance,
and
let
me
compliment
you.
I
read
the
little
article
today,
that's
already
out
on
this
and
you
you
did
a
great
job
in
managing
expectations
by
saying
that
we
really
don't
know
if
it's
gonna
help
until
we
get
that
pump
station
in
phase
two
put
in,
which
is
true,
absolutely
true.
A
But
but
let
me
ask
you
this
by
the
time
you
get
to
where
phase
one
is
done,
and
all
the
collection
and
conveyance,
at
least
in
the
immediate
intersection
has
improved,
since
it
will
take
a
couple
of
years
to
get
that
design
and
the
pump
thing
going.
Could
could
you
either
with
our
own
folk
folks
or
with
our
contract
vendor,
put
in
a
request
to
thoroughly
clean
everything
from
where
we'll
end
up
new
out
to
the
outfall,
just
so
the
chance
that
it
helps?
You
know
that
it'll
be
somewhat
a
little
bit
noticeable.
F
Yeah,
no,
absolutely
mayor,
that's
that's
something.
We'll
definitely
do
as
we
finish
the
disruption
from
the
project
we'll
go
through
and
clean
out
the
rest,
the
system
to
the
outfall
and
remove
any
debris
that
may
have
accumulated
and
it
you
know
we
are
trying
to
manage
expectations
because
it's
a
lot
of
money.
I
mean
we're
looking
at
over
three
million
dollars
of
money.
We
don't
want
someone
to
say
we
spent
all
this
money
and
it
didn't.
It
didn't
work
right,
but
there
will
be
improvements,
especially
at
low
tide
situations.
F
The
road
will
drain
out
much
faster.
You
probably
won't
see
the
same
level
of
flooding
on
like
smaller
storm
events
that
you
would
have
seen.
If
you
get
these
like
inch
afternoon,
rainstorms,
you
won't
get
the
same
level
of
flooding.
So
there
are
improvements
from
the
first
phase.
It's
just
you're,
not
gonna,
see
it
not
flood
during
a
significant
storm.
Until
that
pump
station
goes
in
it'll
drain
out
faster
it'll
flood
less
frequently
it'll
work
better.
But
if
we
get
a
you
know,
seven
foot
tide
and
three
inches
of
rain
in
the
afternoon.
F
E
Yes,
sir,
mr
chairman,
is
there
a
way
that
we
could
get
a
better
breakdown
of
how
this
6.9
million
dollars
breaks
out?
Because
I
I
know
that
it's
coming
from
a
diverse
amount
of
different
funding
sources,
but
I'm
just
wondering
how
much
of
it
comes
from
the
drainage
fund?
How
much
of
it's
coming
out
of
the
grant?
How
much
of
it's
coming
out
of
the
tif?
E
I
understand
that
1.9
million
or
so
will
come
from
cws,
but
I'm
just
kind
of
wondering,
because
I
keep
seeing
a
lot
of
projects
that
we're
using
drainage
fund
money,
and
I
I
love
a
breakdown
of
how
much
money
we
have
currently
in
the
drainage
fund,
how
much
money
we've
already
allocated
where
we
plan
to
allocate
it.
I
know
that
our
funding
source,
the
drainage
fund
as
a
funding
source
is
kind
of
kind
of
running
low,
and
I
know
a
lot
of
our
projects
off
the
peninsula
rely
heavily
on
the
drainage
fund.
F
Yeah
I
can.
I
can
certainly
talk
to
some
of
that
if
we'd
like
a
brief
overview,
and
we
can
certainly
provide
more
detail
so
the
when
we
talked
about
the
allocations
of
drainage
fund,
the
king
ug
project
has
had
some
drainage
fund
allocation
previously,
which
is
what
is
being
used
for
this
project
work.
F
F
So
there's
sort
of
two
items
there,
one
that
some
of
that
money
had
already
been
allocated
was
being
included
in
that
discussion.
Second,
the
other.
The
other
thing
that
changed
there
was
the
the
21.5
million
dollars
that
the
city
was
successful
in
applying
for
and
receiving
from
the
south
carolina
transportation
infrastructure
bank,
so
that
that
money
is
used
to
sort
of
offset.
F
What
would
have
been
drainage
fund
money
on
spring
fish
burn,
and
I
think
ms
wharton
would
be
able
to
speak
to
a
little
bit
better
than
I
was.
And
I
don't
want
to
necessarily
speak
for
her.
But
I
think
we
have.
Our
current
estimate
showed
that
we
are
unlikely
to
need
drainage
fund
money
for
the
remainder
of
the
spring
fishburn
project,
because
of
being
able
to
basically
pull
that
money
back
out
through
the
south
carolina
transformation,
infrastructure
bank.
E
Being
that
I
just
brought
brought
it
up
and
put
it
on
the
spot,
maybe
it'd
be
better.
You
know
we
can
have
maybe
a
more
robust
discussion
on
this
in
a
future
meeting
in
the
next
you
know
month
or
so.
I'd
just
love
to
get
a
a
real
nice
conversation
going
about
how
much
money
we
have
available
and
that
sort
of
thing,
as
we
continue
to
work
for
these
projects,
because
you
know
our
products
off
of
the
peninsula.
We
don't
really
have
a
lot
of
other
funding
sources.
E
F
Yeah,
absolutely,
I
did
just
quickly
pull
up
the
the
exact
numbers
for
that
project
budget.
They
are
sorry
they
are.
The
cooper
river
bridge
tiff
is,
is
one
million
one
hundred
fifty
seven
thousand
one
hundred
and
forty
one
dollars
of
the
funding.
The
rural
infrastructure
grant
is
four
hundred
ninety
nine
thousand
two
hundred
ninety
two
dollars.
F
The
cws
contribution,
obviously,
is
the
one
million
eight
hundred
fifty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
twenty
dollars
and
fifty
five
cents,
and
then
the
drainage
fund
takes
the
remainder
of
the
three
million
four
hundred
thirteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
fifty
three
dollars
and
ninety
seven
cents,
but
councilman
griffin.
I
certainly
understand
what
you're
saying
with
kind
of
the
overall
stance
of
where
the
drainage
fund
is
and
where
the
money's
been
allocated.
We
can
certainly.
F
E
Yeah
because
things
have
changed
so
much
and
being
able
to
get
that
state
money
that
21
plus
million
changes
the
game
the
last
time
we
really
talked
about
it.
We
were
looking
at
not
having
any
drainage
fund
money
until
2023
yeah
in
that
state
money.
You
know
that
changes
the
game
a
little
bit,
so
I'd
love
it.
If
we
could,
if
you
don't
mind,
mr
chairman,
if
we
could
have
the
discussion
here
in
the
future,
I
think.
