Description
City of Charleston Committee on Public Works and Utilities 12/19/22
A
B
Well,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
it's
505
I,
don't
think
councilmember.
We
would
be
upset
if
we
started
it
a
little
early
and
get
through
some
of
this
stuff.
So
I'm
going
to
call
on
councilmember
Appel
to
lead
us
either
in
a
moment
of
silence.
As
we
started,
we
lit
our
Hanukkah
candle
last
night
at
Marion.
Square
actually
was
a
wonderful
event.
Appreciate
the
mayor
of
office
of
cultural
Affairs
for
doing
that
in
councilman.
Pill
was
able
to
make
a
few
remarks,
so
congratulations,
councilman,
Motel!
So.
C
Thank
you,
councilman,
shade,
I,
appreciate
that,
let's
reflect
on
the
holiday
season-
and
you
know
part
of
what
Hanukkah
is
all
about-
is
bringing
light
and
illumination
into
the
world
and
for
every
candle.
We,
like
that's
a
little
bit
less
Darkness
in
our
in
our
universe.
So
with
that,
let's
all
have
our
own
moment
of
silence.
B
You
well
done
very
good.
December
5th
minutes
is
a
motion
to
approve
so
much.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
and
you
close
the
eyes
have
it
any
requests.
Is
that
the
public
hearing,
Mr,
O'brien
I,
guess
not
in
in
Noble
business?
No,
sir!
No
sir,
all
right
we're
down
to
item
number
e
acceptance
and
dedication
of
Rights
of
way
and
easements.
D
Mr
Vice
chairman:
this
is
a
Wando
Village
phase
two.
This
is
a
two
full
streets
and
one
portion
of
a
street
for
a
56
lot
phase
of
the
subdivision:
Alpha
Clements
Ferry
Road.
Everything
has
been
constructed
with
the
exception
of
the
sidewalks
in
front
of
the
homes
those
have
been
bonded,
and
we're
therefore
recommending
that
this
portion
of
the
subdivision
to
be
entered
into
the
city's
maintenance
system.
B
E
F
D
D
No
sir
I'm
gonna
do
that
today.
Matt
had
another
meeting
so
I'll
be
giving
that
good
news
is
that
garbage
and
trash
for
the
last
three
weeks
have
been
on
schedule.
We've
been
doing
a
tremendous
job
with
some
assistance
from
Trident,
but
we're
doing
real
well.
We've
also
completed
the
cleanup
of
the
debris
site
from
Hurricane
Ian.
D
F
D
B
F
A
Yeah
I
thought
you
were
Sherman,
so
the
first
item
is
basically
to
recommend
approval
of
a
grant
award.
This
is
a
grant
we
previously
applied
from
from
the
South
Carolina
conservation
Bank.
We
were
awarded
the
100
000
contribution
towards
acquisition
of
a
portion
of
three
TMS
numbers
in
support
of
the
Barbary
Woods
drainage,
Improvement
project.
A
D
F
A
This
has
been
one
of
the
main
priority
issues
for
the
town
of
James
Island
for
drainage
improvements,
as
a
significant
portion
of
the
Basin
is
within
the
town
and
you'll
see
from
the
agenda
item.
The
cost
split
at
63
and
a
half
percent
is
because
of
the
relative
jurisdictional
areas.
So
that's
the
amount
of
area
in
the
town.
So
what
we're
proposing
to
do
is
basically
put
together
a
memorandum
agreement.
A
Do
a
collaborative
cost
share
on
a
drainage
study
that
the
town
would
manage
with
their
consultant
Thomas
Naughton,
to
identify
what
potential
Improvement
projects
could
be
done
for
drainage
in
this
area.
So
this
isn't
funding
any
of
the
improvements.
Yet
just
trying
to
do
the
engineering
work
to
evaluate
what
those
improvements
would
need
to
be.
We
estimate
the
city
share
at
approximately
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
and
look
for
consideration
of
Council
on
that
action.
G
A
A
Yeah,
let
me
I'll
pull
the
map
up
really
quick,
so
we
can
see
it.
Okay,
good
and
the
map
has
a
lot
a
lot
of
information
going
on.
So
it's
not
the
easiest
map
to
process,
but
camp
Camp
Road
is
here
kind
of
in
the
northern
portion
of
the
map,
but
Folly
Road
is
sort
of
the
big
Northwest
running
road
with
the
the
lines
the
drainage
basin
is
this
red?
Oh
okay
highlight
that
comes
through
it
and
then
the
primary
drainage
channel
is
this
yellow.
A
It
comes
from
the
marsh
across
Camp
kind
of
again
through
the
bishop
Gadsden
area
and
then
comes
back
parallel
to
Yorktown
comes
over
and
then
ties
back
into
Folly
Road,
so
the
Folly
Camp
intersection
has
some
discharge
that
comes
this
way.
The
streets
kind
of
around
Yorktown
have
quite
a
bit
of
drainage.
That
comes
this
way
and
then
obviously
the
bishop
gas
company
itself
and
the
school
as
well
drains
into
this
into
the
system.
A
G
A
Of
ponding
water,
but
there
are
also
some
issues
over
on
Linton
and
some
of
the
other
streets.
So
it's
it's
one
that
I
know
that
again.
The
town's
priority
is
because
of
this
area
near
Yorktown
that
sees
some
severe
flooding
and
that's
that
section
is
mostly
within
the
town,
but
there's
a
obviously
there's
a
lot
of
consideration
from
all
of
us
in
making
sure
Folly
Road
drains
properly
here,
Camp
Road
drains
properly
here
and
then
any
impacts
to
the
bishop.
Gadson
system,
of
course,
is
where
all
that
water
comes
through
eventually.
A
F
A
A
It
was
just
over
forty
thousand
dollars
for
the
basically
the
emergency
pumps
we
deploy,
mostly
in
the
downtown
area,
King
Yuji
along
the
battery
kind
of
the
Calhoun
West
area
as
well.
There's
a
couple
other
locations.
So
that's
that's
one
item
and
again
we
we
budget
for
that
every
year,
it's
within
our
actual
operations
budget,
but
it's
because
it
came
over
forty
thousand
dollars
due
to
how
long
the
storm
lasted
and
having
to
move
the
pumps
back
and
forth
with
the
tide.
The
price
is
high
enough
to
come
through
Council.
A
The
other
two
were
more
traditional
emergency
repairs.
We
had
one
emergency
repair
on
Rutledge
and
Broad.
It
was
actually
at
Victor
pipe
that
had
failed
and
we
had
to
close
that
intersection
and
or
closed.
One
of
the
lanes
in
that
area
do
some
traffic
rerouting,
so
that
will
be
under
some
purchases
and
then
there
was
a
brick
Arch
failure,
which
obviously
were
all
relatively
more
familiar
with
on.
A
Street
that
we
did
some
repair
as
well.
So
if
any
any
questions
I'm
happy
to
prevent,
provide
information
to
prevent
any
issues
tomorrow,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
we
are
aware
that,
and
unfortunately
that
sort
of
business
as
usual,
even
though
they
are
emergencies
because
of
the
impact
to
the
traveling
public
and
safety,
but
certainly
able
to
answer
questions.
If
there
are
any.
E
B
E
Give
Matt
and
his
team
Kudos
I
mean,
in
addition
to
all
of
the
challenges
that
they
have
with
ongoing
large-scale
projects.
It's
amazing,
the
number
of
things
that
pop
up
and
the
things
that
you
described
tonight
were
either
in
District,
8
or
sort
of
a
round
District
eight.
The
pumps
during
the
storm
were
incredibly
incredibly
helpful.
They
really
moved
that
water
out
faster.
It
would
have
gotten
out
otherwise
and
then
that
crazy
sinkhole
on
coming
street
that
just
appeared
out
of
nowhere
I
mean
they
jumped
all
over
that
that
was
I.
E
G
I
was
going
to
say
essentially
the
same
thing
as
councilmember
siekins
I
had
a
number
of
citizens
Matt,
who
called
after
the
storm
and
thanked
us.
Thank
me
thanked
the
city
for
what
seemed
to
be
a
little
more
robust
placement
of
pumps
and
and
resources
out
there
that
that
y'all
did
I
think
just
over
time.
G
You
figured
out
more
locations
and
I
guess
with
that
cleaning
out
of
the
the
archway
tunnel
that
we've
done
so
far
to
I
think
y'all
placed
a
pump
that
just
speeded
up
the
the
movement
of
water
through
that
system
and
that
that
really
helped
further
Upstream.
So
to
speak,
to
to
get
water
out.
Correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I,
don't
know
that's.
G
F
D
A
A
Know
it's
a
really
good
question,
Mr
chairman,
so
we
have
looked
into
that
that
the
challenge
that
we
have
right
now
is
the
way
we're
set
up
with
Staffing.
We
actually
use
contractors
to
rent
and
deploy
the
pump.
So
then
Mr
newham
and
one
of
our
inspectors,
basically
do
the
oversight
make
sure
they're
deployed
correctly
figure
out
when
to
turn
them
on
and
off
and
actually
councilman
seekinges
comes
out
sometimes
and
helps
refuel
and
start
some
of
the
pumps
for
us
as
well.
A
E
A
A
F
B
What
are
we
anticipating,
if
anything
that
we
need
to
be
prepared
for,
because
we're
talking
about
temperatures
down
into
the
20s
with
a
hard
freeze?
Is
there
some
besides
us
telling
folks
make
sure
you
bleed
your
pipes?
I
know
that's
sort
of
an
old-fashioned
thing.
We
do
in
Charleston,
but
is
there
anything
else?
We
need
to
be
worried
about
from
y'all's
perspective,
gentlemen,.
A
And
I
mean
and
Mr
Brian
certainly
feel
free
to
chime
in
as
well,
but
I
mean
traditionally
councilman
shade.
The
the
bridges
are,
the
the
area
that
are
the
biggest
concerns.
You'll
have
the
wind
coming
to
the
bridges.
Bridges
bridges
will
freeze
first,
if
anything,
freezes
D.O.T
and
the
Sheriff's
Office
will
generally
monitor
the
bridges
and
close
them
if
they
hit
icing
or
dangerous
temperatures.
Dot
in
the
county.
I
do
have
a
basically
a
salt
operation
that
they'll
deploy
to
try
to
reduce
any
freezing,
but
mostly
for
us.
A
It's
a
the
history
has
been
kind
of
noticed
to
stay
off
the
roads
once
it
gets
icy
or
dangerous
and
wait
till
we
see
it.
Thaw
I
mean
that's,
that's
sort
of
the
way
that
we
approach
it.
We
don't
have
a
a
snow
fighting
force.
We
do
have
salt
again
if
it's
only
the
bridges
that
become
a
problem,
but
once
it
goes
beyond
the
bridges,
it's
generally
a
you
know,
please
be
safe.
Please
stay
home,
don't
don't
get
yourself
in
trouble.
D
Yeah
Mr
chairman
also
Mr
State,
also
from
our
Public
Service
standpoint.
Interesting
enough,
we
met
with
Emergency
Management
and
D.O.T
last
week
to
go
over
our
annual
snow
and
ice
plans,
so
that
was
that
was
just
last
week,
so
we
we
now
everybody
just
remembers
their
assignments
and
We've.
Also,
so
we've
actually
have
a
couple
that
we
are
attachments
we
put
on
some
trucks
to
do.
Our
portion
of
that
pot
does
most
of
it.
B
F
G
Man
on
another
front
but
related
Emily,
Burke
Beck,
who
is
our
homeless
coordinator,
she's,
monitoring
the
opening
of
Regional
warming
shelters.
We
expect
Alders
gate
and
North
Charleston
be
open.
Heaven
and
Mount
Pleasant
Seacoast
now,
rather
than
Savannah
highway,
is
going
to
be
operating
a
warming,
shelter
in
Somerville,
and
so
so
Emily
puts
out
a
notice.
You
know
literally
every
day
of
who's
going
to
be
open
and
then
the
next
day
she
reports
how
many
people
took
advantage
of
of
those
warming
shelters.
G
F
F
F
It
looks
like
there's
a
possibility
of
over
that
there's
a
Courtyard
by
Marriott,
that's
going
to
be
built
that
would
be
in
the
PSD,
not
the
city
in
that
same
block,
I,
think
on
All
Leads
in
between
only
is
ruled
in
between
Sam
Rittenberg
and
Savannah,
and
crushing
up
the
four-star
hotel.
Mr
molasses
is
playing
a
little
building
and
then
he's
actually
got
designs
on
even
a
third
hotel.
That
would
be
well
I,
say
a
third
Hotel
third,
his
second
Hotel
within
that
block,
which
that
parcel
is
in
the
city.
A
F
F
F
F
About
offering
a
concierge
service,
it's
one
of
the
things
that
you
know,
Jim
palazzos
made
mention
about
was
when
he
did
the
home
to
Suites.
Paul's
not
being
recruit,
returned
that
kind
of
thing.
When
that
that
will
minimize
that,
because,
when
you're
trying
to
get
a
project
done
obviously
architect,
Engineers
Etc
need
calls
returned.
Mr
Summerfield
said
that
he
recommended
this
concierge
service,
but
obviously,
to
do
that,
you
got
to
get
a
staff.
You
got
to
have
somebody
funded
to
do
that.
F
F
Was
a
final
planning
stages
in
that
same
area,
but
also
an
unincorporated
area?
We
knew
about
Mr,
palaci's
properties
and
his
two
properties,
but
again
I
still
say
it'll
be
you'll,
be
hard-pressed
to
find
an
area
as
contained
is
Savannah
to
Sam
Rittenberg
voted
by
DuPont
and
only
his
road
that
has
43
Parcels
40
of
them
doing
commercial
you're.
Talking
about
the
area,
that's
points
to
I
think
explode.
That
would
be
that
area.
F
F
F
You
know
Charleston,
please.
As
you
know,
Mr
Mill
was
big
but
downtown
in
the
area
that
was
I.
Remember,
mayor
Raleigh
well
describing
it
as
when
he
was
in
school.
He
used
to
go
down
to
the
market
and
for
five
bucks,
get
a
pizza,
a
picture
of
beer
and
VD
all
for
five
bucks.
That's
how
that
area
was
the
thing
about.
It
was
the
truth
that.
B
I
just
wanted
to
Echo
what
you
were
saying:
councilman
Memorial
night
and
I
got
to
the
meeting
a
little
late.
We
were
having
a
brewery
holiday
lunchroom,
so
if
I
could
but
the
I
thought
it
was
a
very
good
discussion.
We
had
at
this
philosopher's
place
in
the
properties
that
you're
talking
about
off,
that
that
whole
section,
which
sort
of
intersects
your
District,
my
district
I,
think
someone
councilman
mappell's
District
as
well.
B
Right
is
in
need
of
some
tender,
loving
care,
we've
been
out
there
and
we've
seen
it,
but
the
impact
is
going
to
have
on
our
revitalization.
Efforts
will
will
be
huge.
Councilman
pale
and
I
were
after
the
lighting
of
the
memorial
last
night
met
this
woman,
who
mentioned
to
us
at
the
councilman
held
me
out.
She
has
a
bagel
place
on
Orleans
Road
yeah.
C
F
F
F
F
Councilman
Appel
behind
Home2
Suites
and
Holiday
Inn
Express,
oh
yeah,
the
owner
of
Holiday
Inn
Express,
was
also
at
this
meeting
and
he,
along
with
Mr,
you
know,
collapses.
I
think
they
spend
it.
He
said
upwards
of
80
80
000
to
put
additional
fencing
up
there,
because
from
this
homeless,
encampment
they've
been
having
cars
being
broken.
It
actually
had
cars
stolen
out
of
the
hotels
parking
lot
and
as
people
would
leave
the
building.
You
know
finish
this
home
to
Suites
in
the
door.
Would
slam
behind
them?
F
F
Some
attention
needs
to
be
brought
to
that
I
mean
to
the
point
of
cars
being
stolen,
wind
is
being
broken,
and
people
trying
to
infiltrate
the
hotel,
they've
actually
caught
them
up
in
the
stairwell
in
home,
two
Suites,
so
I
don't
believe
we
can
I
didn't
even
know.
A
big
old
encampment
was
back
there
right
so.
E
G
I
trust
that
when
some
particular
incident
occurs,
that
he's
calling
9-1-1
and
reporting
to
the
police
I
would
hope
so
for
responding.
We
always
do
it
if
we
get
the
call
so
I
did
know
last
year
when,
when
Seacoast
had
their
warming
shelter
there
Savannah
highway,
that
there
were
some
homeless
individuals
on
the
dot
property
right
across
the
fence
from
the
church,
and
they
were
coming
over
to
stay
at
the
warming
Center
when
it
got
really
really
cool.
F
G
F
And
the
last
thing
I'll
bring
up
Mr
Fountain
if
we
can
put
in
Mr
Brad
if
we
can
put
for
the
January
meeting
first
meeting
in
January,
I
guess
an
update
on
the
doo-wop
drainage,
peace,
Mr
Mayor.
If,
if
you
got
three
hotels,
getting
ready
to
get
off
the
ground
and
the
doo-wop
drainage
District,
we
have
to
do
something
to
try
to
ramp
up
what
you
pulled
together.
Quite
frankly,
the
first
well,
we
had
to
do
a
planning
session
between
the
county
and
the
city.
F
F
G
G
F
In
front
of
the
mall
they're,
you
know
kind
of
like
a
high,
now
South
Park
office,
what
used
to
be
soft
rock
office
building
and
there's
a
some
thinking
of
keeping
that
water
digging
a
canal.
Basically,
that
goes
down
the
greenway
and
if
that
one
would
stay
on
the
west
side
of
Savannah
never
entering
to
do
up
drainage
basin
to
compete
with.
You
know,
you
know
how
we
got
to
Confluence
of
water
coming
in
different
directions
there,
but
anyway
I'd
like
the
opportunity
to
revisit
that
and
to
see.
F
Where
are
we
from
the
standpoint
of
being
able
to
get
some
improvements?
Maybe
we
can,
in
conjunction
with
obviously
some
of
the
private
sector
efforts
and
what
they
want
to
do,
whether
they
do
it
in
the
county,
I'll,
certainly
with
with
in
the
city
that
coordination
with
somewhere
between
150
and
200
million
worth
of
development
and
help
accelerate
improvements
in
the
doo-wop
drainage
District,
which
I
believe
touched,
five
city,
council
districts,
one
way
or
the
other
I
think
I
know,
there's
certainly
touch
the
district
I
represent
such
as
councilmember.
F
F
F
Many
drainage
areas
in
particular
councilmember
pale,
Forest
Park,
is
being
done
now,
with
roads
being
blocked.
I
haven't
been
so
happy,
Mr
Fountain
to
see
people
being
diverted,
because
that
meant
progress
is
being
made,
people
being
inconvenienced,
but
the
final
fixes
are
being
in
place
for
some
people,
so
I
think
it's
been
extremely
Good
Year
from
the
standpoint
of
Public
Works
and
in
particular
with
the
drainage
problem
that
we
talk
about.
The
solutions
are
beginning
to
be
put
in
place.
F
We
still
have
miles
to
go,
but
we've
got
some
miles
behind
us
to
be
proud
of.
So
thank
you,
Mr
Fountain,
Mr,
O'brien,
Edward,
Mr,
Mayor,
all
council
members
and
certainly
all
staff
everybody
yeah.
Thank
you
as
opposed
to
saying
what
we
didn't
do.
We
got
quite
a
story
to
tell
on
what
has
been
accomplished:
I
look
forward
to
seeing
all
you
gents
and
ladies
tomorrow.
