Description
City of Charleston Committee on Public Works and Utilities 5/9/2022
C
B
Yeah
perfect
thanks,
mr
brian
thanks
for
bailing
me
out
last
friday,
thursday
or
friday,
whatever
it
was,
sir.
D
We
we've
had
some
some
some
rough
couple
weeks
because
of
volume
and
material,
but
we
we
got
to
him
and
I
made
sure
before
I
left
home
here
for
from
friday,
that
we
had
taken
care.
B
What
I've
been
looking
at
I've
seen
tried.
It
got
those
trucks.
I
saw
two
of
them
today.
The
knucklebugs.
D
B
B
All
right,
let's
call
the
meeting
the
order
and
I'll
get
my
my
good
brother
in
christ,
with
catholic
church
councilman.
A
Thank
you,
mr
mr
chairman,
and
I
feel
like
the
mayor
and
I
attended
so
many
prayer
sessions
last
week
that
we
have
made
out
for
some
lost
time.
But
I
appreciate
what
we
had
done
last
week
with
the
national
prayer
meeting.
We
had
and
some
other
events
along
the
way.
So,
as
we
gather
here
today,
we
ask
for
the
lord's
blessing
to
watch
over
us
and
protect
us
to
give
us
wisdom
and
courage
and
to
always
do
the
will
of
the
people
of
the
city
of
charleston
in
his
name.
B
Probably
moving
second,
any
questions
on
those
minutes.
Hearing
that
all
in
favor,
please
say:
aye,
hi,
all
right,
all
right
item
e
acceptance
and
dedication
of
rights
away
point
hope.
Mr
o'brien.
D
Yes,
sir,
mr
chairman,
thank
you
point
hope
subdivision
is
a
subdivision
being
developed
off
of
plymouth,
ferry
road
by
the
canehorn
land
and
timber
company,
and
this
is
a
small
portion,
it's
portions
of
two
street
and
one
whole
street
and
we're
asking
to
dedicate
and
accept
them
into
the
city
system.
All
the
infrastructure
has
been
completely
built
and
inspected
by
the
city
and
we're
in
good
shape.
Here.
D
Sir,
we
we
had
several
right
angle
signs
this
time
and
those
signs
have
to
go
through
bar
and
zoning
for
approval
and
all
of
them
meet
the
requirements
and
have
been
inspected
for
height
safety
by
our
inspector.
So
we're
recommending
all
those
for
approval
and
give
them
to
the
committee's
information.
Only.
B
Thanks
again,
you
know
we
depend
on
you
anything
that's
out.
A
B
Norm,
mr
mayor.
E
So,
thank
you,
mr
chairman
tom.
I
don't
normally
see
us
approving
one
for
a
sewer
line
and
water
pipe
and
box.
Unless
it's
our
own
are
those
private,
I
presume
the
sewer
line
and
the
storm
water.
Yes,.
D
There
are
portion
in
the
city
right
away
and
that
just
makes
sure
that
that
portion
is
the
maintenance
requirement,
goes
to
the
owner
and
the
person
accepting
the
responsibility
of
the
encroachment.
Yes,
sir,.
E
Maybe
not
amusing,
but
my
raises
my
eye
when
all
these
encroachments
are
temporary
and
you
know
somebody's
putting
a
sewer
line
in
and
and
it's
you
know,
they're
not
gonna
want
it
to
be
temporary,
they
won't
they're
gonna,
want
that
thing
to
stay
there,
a
long
time
so
and
I
think
we're
working
on.
You
know
some
good
way
of
with
with
our
gis
system
to
identify
where
all
these
things
are
just
so
we
we
know
about
them
all
the
time
I
mean
every
meeting.
D
That's
right
and
marriage,
just
just
for
the
record.
Also
anytime,
we
have
anything
to
do
with
stormwater
in
the
right
of
way.
Benji
smith,
who
works
for
mr
fountain
in
their
maintenance,
coordinate.
We
coordinate
to
get
his
approval
of
those
items
too,
we're
not
just
making
sure
people
putting
things
that
aren't
required
and
meet
our
standards.
So
we
we
do
take
that
as
part
of
the
process.
C
C
D
Sir,
that,
mr
speaker,
that's
correct,
and
what
we
do
is
with
the
assistance
of
dan,
riccio
and
livability
staff,
a
lot
of
the
ones
downtown
which
are
like
and
signs
and
things
like
that.
We
just
we
anytime,
we
either
get
a
complaint
or
when
they're
out
there
just
doing
their
daily
routine
walks.
We
make
sure
those
things
one
of
the
requirements
they
have
to
remain
in
good,
safe
condition
for
the
public
and
even
though
they're
temporary,
the
temporary
poor
stat
allows
the
city.
D
If
something
comes
up
that
we
don't
either
want
that
there
or
becomes
a
dangerous
situation,
they
have
to
remove
it
upon
notice
from
the
city,
so
we
kind
of
take.
As
the
mayor
said,
we
keep
a
running
list
when
these
things
are
approved,
the
database,
so
we're
checking
them
and
our
normal
kind
of
just
you
know,
travels
throughout
the
city.
D
If
anything
is
either
in
disrepair
or
causes
either
a
hindrance
for
walking
and
pedestrians
and
things
you
may
recall
over
there
near
your
place
on
broad
when
fast,
french,
sometimes
when
they
had
to
move
some
of
their
tables.
What
we
want
to
do
is
to
make
sure
that
we
kept
a
free
access
for
ada
compliant
and
we
were
able
to
move
around
with
some
assistance
get
that
done
so
it's
kind
of
an
ongoing
process
and
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
we
worked
with
our
legal
staff
several
years
ago.
The
temporary.
D
What
that
does
is
that
kind
of
gives
us
that
ability
to
make
things
if
they're
not
either
kept
up
or
in
a
safe
condition
to
remove
them
the
most
permanent
ones
we
do
are
for
buildings
where
we
have
footings
and
things
of
buildings
that
are
would
never
really
go
away,
but
everything
else
we
try
based
on
legal
recommendation
to
kind
of
keep
in
a
temporary
state.
So
it
gives
us
some
control
and
authority
over
it.
D
B
Okay,
hey
that
says,
on
10th
grade
growth.
Is
that
down
to
h1
church
creek,
mr
fountain,
what's
the
recommendation.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
so
this
is
the
recommended
approval
to
award
the
basically
the
first
construction
contract
to
ipw
construction,
llc,
246,
604
dollars
and
25
cents
for
the
church,
creek
flood
storage
projects.
This
is
the
one
of
the
smaller
projects
at
mallard
court,
where
we're
basically
taking
again
some
of
these
buy
out
properties
from
previous
flood
events
and
retrofitting
them
into
providing
both
flood
storage
to
reduce
the
impacts
of
flooding
on
the
community,
but
using
natural
features
to
promote
sort
of
the
dutch
dialogues
approach
of
an
ecologically
ecologically
functional
area.
B
Listen
mister.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
these
grants
that
all
of
a
sudden,
you
know
they
don't
pay
on
our
agenda
by
automatic
a
lot
of
these
grants.
Mr
fountain,
I
didn't
remember
him
frankly
until
you
came
on,
so
I
really
do
appreciate
you.
You
referred
to
as
nifla
or
whatever,
but
the
national
fish
and
wildlife
implementation
grant.
I
mean
these
things
are
coming
in
right
on
time,
man,
so
thank
you.
Your
staff
for
all
you're
doing
help
us
get
this
additional
funding.
B
Any
additional
questions
on
behalf
of
first,
let's
get
a
motion
on
the
floor.
Get
a
motion
please
and
then
I'll
entertain
you.
I
still
move
properly
moved
and
seconded
by
councilman
shane.
That's
when
she
ate.
I
saw
your
hand.
A
Man-
maybe
I
I
missed
it,
but
what
was
the
the
breakdown
between
the
grant
from
the
national
fish
and
wildlife?
What
would
the
their
kick
in
be.
F
Yeah,
so
it
comes
from
the
the
national
fish
and
wildlife
foundation.
Grant
is
for
this
what
we
call
like
a
basket
of
projects
in
church
creek.
It's
this
mallard
court
work
it'll,
be
a
follow-on
expansion,
it
will
drive
the
bridge
point
townhome
ecological
park
and
then
some
work
we'll
be
doing
down
kind
of
in
the
the
cities
canal
near
crosstown
church.
F
So
the
combined
contribution
from
national
fish
and
wildlife
foundation
is
around
1.3
million
dollars
for
those
projects,
then
we'll
we'll
basically
see
what
the
city's
match
will
be
based
when
we
get
in
for
construction
bidding
we'd
originally
been
looking
at
around
the
the
grant,
probably
covering
around
40
percent.
F
I
think,
with
some
of
the
construction
inflation
we've
seen,
we'll
probably
be
down
more
like
in
the
33
range,
but
that's
where
we
we
went
through
some
of
that
in
more
detail
at
budget
hawk
last
week,
but
for
this
project
would
probably
be
probably
billing
out
at
like
a
50
50
match
with
the
national
fish
and
wildlife
foundation,
which
is
sort
of
the
recommended
minimum
ratio
for
their
their
grant
projects.
A
And
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
that
money.
We
got
to
buy
back
those
properties
that
were
out
in
bridge
point
when
we
took
over
those
properties
that
this
is
solely
separate.
F
Right
so
this
is
this
is
leveraging
those
grants.
The
properties
that
we
are
retrofitting
on
mallory
court
here
were
also
purchased,
with
fema
funds
on
a
grant
7525
split
with
fema
money
being
the
75.,
in
addition
to
the
work
that
we
did
in
bridgepoint
buying
out
the
townhomes
there.
So
it's
the
same,
the
same
situation
where
the
the
city
is
acquired
with
federal
assistance,
monetary
assistance,
flood-prone
properties,
demolish
them,
and
now
we're
coming
back
to
retrofit.
F
Those
instead
of
having
them
be
somewhat
kind
of
overgrown
lots
into
ecological
amenities
that
also
reduce
flooding
in
the
area.
It.
A
Seems
like
ancient
history
ago,
when
we
were
going
through
all
that
process,
but
this
that
was
a
long
detail
that
I
know
we
had
a
couple
of
road
blocks
with
some
folks
who
didn't
want
to
participate
in
that
program,
but
we've
we
kind
of
just
kept
on
pushing
forward
and
we
got
this
taken
care
of.
So
this
is
all
all
going
in
the
right
direction
and
we're
correcting
it
wrong.
That's
been
years
in
the
making.
So
thanks
for
your
work
on
on
this,
I
know
that
councilmember
bound.
This
is
in
your.
G
Almost
literally
in
my
front
yard,
actually
is
kind
of
the
direction
kind
of
the
direction.
So
I
I
gotta
I
gotta
add
on
my
thanks
for
for
getting
this.
This
process
started.
I
know
it's
sort
of
a
long
way
from
completion
on
all
these
properties,
and
I
know
it's
not
you
know.
None
of
this
is
going
to
be
a.
G
You
know:
silver
bullet.
It's
just
going
to.
You
know
completely
stop
flooding
in
the
area,
but
I
know
I
speak
on
behalf
of
my
or
you
know
my
neighbors.
I
actually
sent
out
an
email
this
week
saying
it
was
district
10
week
at
city
council,
there
was
there's
some
work
going
going
on
across
the
street
that
I
spoke
to
that
I
emailed
with
with
matt
about
earlier
this
week,
and
all
these
things
together
are
really
going
to
combine.
G
I
think
to
make
up
to
make
a
pretty
significant
difference,
and-
and
we
are
we're
very
grateful
and
people
can
tend
to
think
that
all
the
city's
resources
are
being
devoted
to
the
peninsula,
and
then
you
know
we
see
other
other
projects
going
on
around
town
and
it
can
sort
of
breed
a
little
bit
of
division.
But
you
know
when,
when
something
like,
this
is
happening
truly
in
our
backyard.
It
really
shows
the
work
that
everybody's
doing
and
you
know
paying
attention
to
the
little
shadow
moss
out
here.
G
So
just
just
want
to
want
to.
Thank
you
all
again.
This
is
this
is
really
going
to
be
a
great
project.
B
Okay,
good,
that's
what
I
call
call
the
question
all
in
favor,
please
say
hi
all
right
any
opposed!
I
just
have
it.
That's
it
on
this
agenda.
Any
last
minute
comments.
F
Mr
chairman,
I
don't
know
if
you
wanted
to
dimension-
and
I
know
councilman
pellen
and
yourself
are
on
the
the
real
estate
agenda,
but
we
obviously
had
the
item
with
the
ensign
homes
easement
on.
I
did
not
add
that,
as
a
separate
item
on
the
public
works
utilities
agenda
to
try
to
prevent
too
much
confusion
over
the
routing
through
to
council,
but
right,
that's
obviously
a
big
step
forward
in
the
king
eugene
project
as
well.
F
Yeah,
then,
just
just
very
briefly,
we
we
did
get
to
a
final
legal
easement
agreement
with
the
charleston
housing
authority
for
the
portion
of
the
property
that
we
would
need
in
order
to
install
the
wet
well
and
the
pump
station,
basically
at
the
front
of
instant
homes
on
the
north
side
of
ug
street
for
the
basically
the
second
phase
of
the
flood
relief
project
for
the
king
and
ug
intersection.
F
Of
course,
the
whole
basin
that
that
feeds
that
I
think
the
the
big
success
here
has
been
the
work
that
we've
done
as
a
city
with
the
housing
authority,
where
the
housing
authority
is
willing
to
offer
that
as
a
gratis
dedication,
a
free
easement
for
the
city
to
build
and
construct
and
operate
that
pump
station.
I
think
that's
been
a
great
testament
to
the
work.
Obviously,
the
council
and
mayor
have
done
with
building
that
relationship
with
the
housing
authority,
but
also
the
engagement
outreach
work.
F
B
You
know,
as
the
mayor
pointed
out,
at
real
estate
and
mr
man,
why
don't
you
point
this
out
again
the
price
we
paying
for
that
property
to
put
that
our
equipment
on
there
properly.
E
Well,
well,
in
the
presentation
they
mentioned
the
price
for
the
property,
which
was
one
of
our
favorite
words
free
and
the
price
is
right,
it's
a
very
valuable
piece
of
property
and
for
our
partners
to
to
be
willing
to
give
us
this
permanent
easement
for
this
project
is
is
very
valuable
to
us
in
in
our
partnership
with
the
housing
authority
is,
is
just
critical,
both
ways
we'd
support
each
other,
but
they
really
stepped
up
to
the
plate.
We
owe
art,
milligan
and,
and
all
the
staff
out
there
and
the
board
a
real.
B
Yeah,
I
mean
the
mayor's
right
about
that
just
for
some
of
the
newer
people
some
years
ago
and
councilman
seeking
to
remember
this
when
we
were
doing
the
market
street
drainage
project,
which
was
like
a
40
million
dollar
drainage
printing.
We
needed
a
lay
down
here
and
the
lay
down
area.
We
got
from
state
ports
authority
and
they
charge
us
over
700
thousand
dollars
not
to
give
us
the
property
just
to
use
it
to
lay
down
equipment
to
do
the
drainage
project.
That
was
in
part,
gonna
help
some
of
them.
B
So
when
you
get
an
ally
coming
to
the
table
like
that
for
free,
that's
that's
a
good
ally,
councilman
seeking.
C
F
No,
that's
true,
so
the
the
the
pump
station
and
surface
civil
work
have
gone
through
the
first
step
of
the
bar
process.
So
this
is
a
bar
jurisdiction
site
due
to
the
instant
homes,
property
will
be
the
most
attract
one
of
the
most
attractive
pump
stations
that
will
ever
be
constructed
on
the
peninsula
as
well,
but
we
do
have
our
concept:
approval
for
mass
scale,
orientation,
we're
finalizing
our
architectural
design
kind
of
continuing
through
that
br
process.
F
We've
submitted
with
the
trc
process
for
the
design,
work
and
work
with
dot
for
the
pipes
have
to
go
under
the
the
interstate
to
get
to
new
market
creek
and
working
with
the
army
corps
of
engineers
on
their
permit
for
the
discharge
into
new
market
creek.
F
So
there's
probably
another
year
of
permitting
most
likely
before
we
begin
to
construction,
but
we
do
hope
to
be
in
construction
basically
by
the
end
of
2023,
with
the
project
we're
pretty
far
along
on
the
actual
design
work
we're
just
into
the
permitting
stages
now,
primarily
that
it
and
it
you
know
it
is
great
to
get
the
land
gratis.
It
will
be
probably
still
on
the
order
of
a
15
million
dollar
investment
from
15
from
the
city
as
well,
and
we're
looking
for
still
grant
opportunities
and
some
other
funding
sources.
But
that's
that's.
B
This
is
for
councilman,
appel
and
ballot
benefit.
There's
an
area
where
the
fire
station
it's
west,
of
that
on
huge
street.
They
actually
have
a
john
boat
there
and
standard
equipment
to
ferry
people
who
don't
know
how
deep
that
water
gets
there
in
and
out
of
the
water
over
the
over
the
decades.
They've
had
john
hope
there
to
do
that,
so
hopefully,
after
mr
felt
and
his
team
finishes
their
magic,
maybe
they
can
sell
that
john
bro.
B
E
Mr
chairman,
if
it's
the
pleasure
of
of
the
committee,
I
would
like
to
just
make
a
brief
report
about
our
ad
hoc
budget
committee,
the
other
day,
because
it
was
all
about
the
drainage,
fun
and
drainage
projects,
and
I
thought
it
was
very
productive
meeting
and
great
conversation
and
kind
of
a
recount
of
where
we
are
with
existing
projects
and
which
ones
currently
show
themselves
to
be
underfunded,
and
then
the
prospective
new
projects
and
I'm
sure,
we'll
package
all
this
together
and
bring
it
back
to
the
committee
but
and
the
bottom
line
there's,
even
though
we
will
explore
where
we
are
in
bonding
capacity.
E
The
bottom
line
is
for
right
now,
with
the
use
of
tif
districts
wherever
possible
and
allocating
as
much
from
those
tif
districts
to
the
the
eligible
projects
we
we
cover,
we
can
with
the
existing
drainage
fund
over
the
next
five
years.
Now
this
is
over
a
little
bit
of
time
can
cover
the
shortfall
amounts
of
the
existing
projects.
As
we
know
them
right
now.
Don't
get
me
wrong.
E
Some
of
those
are
estimates,
but
as
far
as
today's
information,
we
cover
the
shortfall
and
then
have
about
an
additional
17
million
dollars
for
some
new
projects
and
and
when
we
went
through
that
list,
the
things
that
kind
of
popped
up
to
the
top
of
the
list
we're
moving
forward
with
some
of
the
improvements
in
central
park,
a
drainage
basin
on
on
james
island,
moving
forward
with
some
of
the
improvements
that
have
been
recommended
for
the
duwop
area,
west
ashley,
then
small
projects
of
in
west
pawnee,
neighborhood
and
fort
royal.
E
I
think
neighborhood
some
money
to
keep
the
bridge
brick
arch
restoration
effort
going
until
we
can
get
more
money
from
the
south
carolina
d.o.t,
we're
hoping
they
bring
us
some,
a
million
and
a
half
to
go
ahead
and
start
the
design,
both
concept
and
design
on
what
we
would
do.
Council,
member
seeking
with
long
lake
and
the
west
side
of
calhoun
street
and
then
also
a
similar
amount
to
start
the
design
and
concept
for
what
really
needs
to
happen
with
the
long
branch
basin.
E
Now
that
we're
moving
forward
with
the
the
pipe
underneath
glenn
mcconnell
to
lake
dotterer.
So
the
the
committee
was
very
supportive
of
of
all
of
that
and
I
think
it's
a
really
reasonable
path
forward
that
addresses
some
of
our.
You
know
worst
areas.
In
the
meantime,
of
course,
you
know
I,
I
guess
next
meeting
we're
going
to
talk
some
more
about
the
small
projects
that
matt
has
been
working
on
and
formulating
so
anyway.
Mr
chairman,
I
just
want
to
give
that
brief
report.
E
It
was
good
meeting
and
we'll
be
bringing
something
more
official
about
the
the
budget
and
and
allocation.
I
think,
to
a
meeting
in
the
near
future.
B
All
right,
that's
good
information
beyond
that.
Unless
we
have
any
final
questions,
let's
buy
acclimation
standard
journey.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
all
you
all
tomorrow.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Already.
