So
it's
not
like
you
shouting
at
me,
but
that's
all
right.
All
right!
We're
missing,
councilman
we're
wearing
it
still.
B
C
D
B
Well
done
so
the
first
order
of
business
approval
of
the
september
27
minutes
of
our
last
meeting,
and
I
take
a
motion
to
approve
those
minutes.
Some
moved.
Second,
all
right,
all
in
favor
say
hi
hi.
He
opposed
you
guys.
Have
it
all
right.
The
first
I'm
gonna
have
to
have
somebody
read
the
first
item
for
me
regarding,
after
the
business
being
approved,.
C
B
Very
good,
all
right
I'll,
entertain,
emoji
to
approve
eight
and
we'll
get
some
information
from
the
appropriate
staff.
B
All
right
so
who's
from
legal
gonna
handle
this
for
us.
E
It
I
will
mayor,
I
think,
julia
handled
this.
This
is
the
lease
that
we've
had
with
the
juilliard
corporation,
the
last
couple
of
years
for
some
space
into
george
street.
This
is
an
extension
of
that
lease,
for,
let
me
see
if
I
can
have
it
here.
E
A
couple
more
years,
it
increases
the
rent,
it
extends
it
through
2024
and
increases
the
rent
to
2000
dollars
a
month
in
year,
one
and
in
in
in
indians
in
year,
five
at
three
thousand
dollars
a
month.
This
is
lease
that
this
is
space,
that
they
use
for
their
foundation
and
for
the
for
their
education
program.
B
Well,
good
world
item
the
first
item
regarding
an
extension
of
elise
on
george
street,
and
I'm
about
to
call
the
question.
F
Yeah,
let
me
let
me
ask
a
question
or
two:
I
I
saw
where
the
rent
is
going
to
increase
50
in
five
years.
Can
you
tell
me
the
rationale
behind
that?
It
was.
E
Actually,
their
proposal
constantly
worrying.
This
is
for
the
space
and
two
george
that
they
use
for
their
foundation
and
for
their
their
their
education
program
offices.
B
That's
I
thought
so
so,
let's
not,
let's
not
reject
this
gift
horse.
No.
A
B
C
Yes,
sir
item
b
request
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
execute
a
contract
for
deed
between
the
commissioners
of
public
works
of
the
city
of
charleston
and
the
city
of
charleston
for
the
city's
purchase
of
56
murray
boulevard,
charleston
south
carolina
for
a
purchase
price
of
two
million
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
D
So
I
might
just
step
in
mr
chairman,
because
this
this
originated
from
a
few
months
ago,
from
my
view
of
the
latest
map
from
the
corps
of
engineers,
about
the
placement
of
pumps
around
the
perimeter
of
the
peninsula,
to
help
us
with
drainage,
particularly
if
we
were
to
you,
know,
build
a
perimeter
protection
wall.
In
the
case
of
the
of
the
battery,
I
must
say
we
got
a
protection
wall
already,
and
so
you
you
have
that
same
kind
of
issue
about
evacuating
water.
D
But
importantly
after
I
I
raised
this
issue
with
matt
fountain
in
the
stormwater
department.
D
He
pointed
out
that
that
corner
is
the
not
only
the
only
vacant
lot
along
the
battery,
but
it
also
is
at
the
corner
with
limehouse
street,
which
is
the
terminus
of
one
of
the
longest
bridge,
brick
archway
tunnels
in
the
city.
It
runs
from
there
at
the
battery
all
the
way
up,
past
spring
street
and
and
matt's
comment
was
well
at
some
point.
Mayor.
D
We're
gonna
as
sea
level
rises,
we'll
need
to
have
pump
stations
at
the
end
of
our
major
archway
tunnels,
assuming
they
all
get
cleaned
out
and
are
serving
the
drainage
purposes
that
we
that
we
think
and
hope
they
will.
D
So
anyway,
we,
the
charleston
water
system,
was
about
to
put
the
property
on
the
market,
for
sale
and
and-
and
this
proposed
contract
you
know,
puts
it
in
the
authority
of
the
city
ownership
of
the
city
so
that,
as
we
work
things
out
as
to
the
future
pump
needs,
be
their
protection
wall
or
not.
We
have
the
the
flexibility
to
use
this
property
for
for
a
small
pump
station.
D
In
the
meantime,
I
mean
after
a
lot
of
thought
and
study
goes
into
it
and
say
five
years
from
now
we
decide
we,
we
won't
need
it
for
that.
We
we
could
always
sell
it,
but
I
think
we'll
need
it.
C
Thank
you.
I
I
mean
I.
I
really
appreciate
that
introduction
description
of
why
we
should
be
doing
this
now
mayor.
I
you
know
just
the
fact
that
it's
the
only
vacant
lot
on
the
battery
seems
like
it
might
be
a
good
idea
to
hold
on
to
a
resource
like
that,
and
I
as
much
as
we've
been
educated
by
the
storm
water
team
on
the
value
of
those
brick
archways.
C
I
think
that
it
is,
you
know,
strategic
of
us
to
be
able
to
make
them,
as
you
know,
as
as
functional
and
robust
as
we
possibly
can.
So.
My
only
question
is,
I
know.
I
know
that
the
first
year
of
something
they're
going
to
just
write
down
the
money
that
they
pay
us.
C
What
will
that
do
to
our
overall
budget?
Will
that
will
that
impact,
then
the
stormwater
drainage
fund,
or
where
will
we
see
that
loss
if
we're
going
to
take
their
money
and
use
it
for
the
purchase.
D
So,
basically
they're
letting
us
finance
the
purchase
by
way
of
a
deduction
from
the
fee.
They
normally
pay
us
you're
correct,
I
believe
and
amy's
online
that
goes
into
the
general
fund.
So
to
that
extent
it
it
it's
it's
money
that
that
we,
we
won't
see
in
the
general
fund,
isn't
that
correct,
amy.
F
Mr
men
and
miss
jackson
of
you
allow
me
one
of
the
things
I
thought
about
mr
miller.
Instead
of
that
coming
out
of
the
general
fund,
because
there's
a
another
piece
that
you
have
on
the
agenda
at
tomorrow's
meeting,
you
know
with
the
delinquent
fees
that
approach
the
delinquent
fees
that
we
discussed
a
year
ago.
F
I
think
if
we
allow
that
to
come
out
the
drainage
fund
by
the
time
we
put
a
system
in
place
to
more
effectively
collect
delinquent
drainage
fees,
we'd
have
more
than
enough
to
pay
for
this
property
out
of
that
versus
the
general
fund.
So
I'm
wholeheartedly
in
favor
of
buying
this.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
mr
meal,
I
don't
think
you
touched
on,
I
think,
there's
a
tunnel.
F
It
might
be
good
to
describe
that,
especially
if
somebody
asks
doing
ways
and
means
or
anything
there's
a
a
tunnel
that
comes
all
the
way
from
I
mean
I
think
spring
street
or
something
like
that.
All
right,
I'ma.
C
C
F
My
question
is,
I
think,
it'd
be
better
if
it's,
if
we
can
we're
thinking
about
it,
we
put
a
system
in
place
to
collect
these
delinquent
stormwater
fees.
Take
it
out
of
drainage
versus
the
general
fund,
and
certainly
amy
can
probably
touched
on
that
touch
on
that.
F
B
B
All
right,
I
think,
we've
heard
enough.
I
will
go
ahead
and
call
the
question
all
those
in
favor
of
this
purchase
signify
by
sorry
scene.
Yes,.
A
B
C
Item
c
approval
of
a
resolution
to
support
a
charleston
county
green
belt
program,
application
by
the
low
country,
land
trust
in
conjunction
with
the
charleston
aviation
authority,
to
provide
for
a
conservation
easement
of
that
certain
property
within
charleston
county,
more
commonly
known
as
oakville
containing
an
estimated
94
acres
bearing
tms
numbers.
317-00-0-007.
C
D
H
Great,
thank
you,
council.
Thank
you
real
estate
committee
members.
So
this
property,
as
you
know,
is,
was
purchased
by
the
airport
not
too
long
ago.
They
saw
it
on
the
market
and
they
didn't
want
houses
built
there,
so
they
purchased
it
to
take
it
off
the
market
because
it
preserves
their
capability,
their
ability
to
do
things
they
had
previously
been
in
discussion
or
concurrently,
been
in
discussion
with
low
country
land
trust
to
place
possible
conservationism
on
it
to
protect
it
for
various
purposes.
H
One
is
to
prevent
the
development
and
if
you
know
the
land
and
water
analysis
that
we
did
for
the
comprehensive
plan
and
the
dutch
dialogues
report
and
this
particular
piece
of
property,
it
is
very
low
lying.
It
is
subject
to
sea
level
rise
in
the
future.
Coastal
tight
coastal
flooding,
as
well
as
some
possible
upland
induced
flooding.
So
it
is
very
vulnerable
and
it
is
a
marsh
migration
area.
H
So,
as
the
seas
rise
as
the
river
stone
river
rises,
it's
going
to
be
a
place
where
the
water
is
going
to
want
to
go
so
keeping
people
out
of
there
will
be
from
living.
There
makes
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
It
mitigates
their
danger,
reduces
prevents
that
danger
and
it
places
a
conservation
season
on
it,
which
means
that
for
any
future
transaction
with
this
property,
that
easement
would
still
apply,
and
thus
it
protects
the
the
the
property
in
perpetuity
from
development.
It
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
do
this.
B
C
C
Oakville
had
the
essentially
you
know
by
right
opportunity
to
build
a
subdivision
on
these
properties,
and
I
think
it's
emblematic
that
they
were
trying
to
work
through
with
our
stormwater
review
process,
to
get
a
site,
permit
a
concept,
development
plan
and
then
a
site
permit
and
basically
they
haven't
been
able
to
get
any
sort
of
you
know,
even
even
halfway
with
being
able
to
design
a
stormwater
design
drainage
system
that
would
satisfy
our
standards.
C
I
was
at
the
city
meeting
the
summer
of
2017..
I
remember
it
was
at
the
gibbs
all
of
the
neighborhood
and
the
people
that
were
very
worried
about
this.
As
a
potentially
flooding
disaster
area
came
and
begged
the
council,
you
know
not
to
annex
the
property
that
went
on
for
a
long
long
time.
I
think
this
is
the
best
absolute
answer
we
can
give
and
that
we
should
give
an
enthusiastic
approval.
I
Thank
you,
chairman
shade
and
everybody
else.
I
fully
support
doing
what
we
can
to
protect
this
land
and
not
develop
it.
I
think
it's
wise
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
My
question
is
the
cost.
What
do
do
we
have
any
idea
of
what
the
airport
wants
for
this
conservation
conservationist.
D
Well,
apparently,
the
state
conservation
group
is
committing
500,
000
and
they're,
requesting
an
additional
500
000
through
the
greenbelt
program,
and
what
we're
approving
today
will
move
this
along
to
the
greenbelt
committee
for
consideration
and
and
then
they'll.
Let
us
know
back
how
they
see
it
should
be
funded
through
the
program.
I
Right
yeah,
that
sounds
good.
I
just
think
that
you
know
in
this
analysis,
it'll
be
helpful
to
see
what
the
airport
paid
for
for
the
property,
of
course,
because
you
know
there's
nothing
that
prevents
the
airport
from
just
granting
a
conservation
easement
over
the
property.
I
mean
I
recognize
that
you
know
they've
paid
some
money.
They
you
know
ought
to
be
able
to
recruit
some
of
it,
but
this
shirt
certainly
shouldn't
be
a
profit
situation
right.
I
would
think,
but
but
this
is
a
great
project
and
more
power
to
it.
Thanks.
B
Well,
I
thought
it's
also
going
to
benefit
the
airport
as
well
and
that's
doing
this
right
with
the
needs,
but
for
the
needs,
but
there's
no
development
with
no
development
that
that
just
gives
them
more
of
a
buffer.
I
think,
if
I
understand
this
correctly
so
there's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
wins
in
this
column.
D
Mr
chairman,
councilmember
waring
has
his
hand
up.
F
I
I'm
just
agreeing
with
you,
mr
chairman,
there's
a
lot
of
wins
in
this
when
council,
lady
jackson
was
right
on
point
when
she
was
saying
his
property
was-
and
I
know
mr
mayor
remembers
this-
that
probably
from
a
drainage
standpoint
was
going
to
be
a
nightmare,
in
particular
for
for
surrounding
neighbors
pushing
water
on
existing
people.
But
I
wanted
to
hopefully
thank
the
aviation
authority.
Maybe
we
can
I'll
send
a
letter
or
something
for
them
stepping
up
and
protecting
their
borders
like
this.
F
So
it
is
a
win-win-win,
as
you
described,
mr
chairman,
on
this
one
right
here,
just
allies
working
in
the
same
direction,
our
storm
water
policy
trying
to
help
neighbors
not
get
inundated
with
water
from
a
new
development,
as
well
as
the
aviation
authority
having
a
broad
view
and,
and
you
know,
protecting
its
borders.
So
the
win-win.
B
And
I
think
the
broad
view
is
the
right
terminology
to
use
on
this
thing.
The
big
picture,
all
right.
Let's
call
the
question.
This
is
just
an
approval
for
the
resolution
phase,
one
all
those
in
favor
say
yes,
yes,
yes
all
right,
he
knows
all
right.
The
yes
has
him
all
right.
The
next
items,
I
understand
are
two
annexations.
C
D
Mr
chairman,
if
I
may
just
follow
up
with
a
comment
that
I
didn't
make
before
the
vote
in
response
to
council
member
appel,
I
do
I
don't
know
the
exact
figure,
but
I
do
know
that
the
aviation
authority
paid
substantially
more
for
the
property
and-
and
I
think
the
reimbursement
for
the
e
for
the
easement
would
be
something
like
20
percent
of
the
of
the
cost
of
their
purchase.
So
there's
absolutely
no
windfall
through
the
aviation
authority.
D
B
Amy
you
wanted
to
chime
in
on
the
other
proceeding
item
before
we
adjourn.
G
G
B
B
F
Yeah,
let
me
I
I
this
may
be
a
little
convoluted.
Can
we
go
on
executive
station?
I
want
to
say
something,
mr
mead,
and,
I
think
better
say
it
in
the
executive
session.
As
far
as
those
delinquent
fees
go,
I
I
definitely
agree
with.
I
didn't
realize
she's
right
that
issue
of
what
cws
pays
and
this
land
purchases,
as
you
and
I
have
discussed.
Mr
mayor
are
two
separate
issues
and
I
think
we
need
to
keep
them
separate
as
opposed
to
them.
F
B
F
Could
that.
B
So,
in
order
for
us
to
go
into
executive
session
without
prior
notice,
do
we
need
to
have
a
two-thirds
approval
to
do
that.
A
B
Speak
yeah.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
doing
this
properties.
Tell
us
what
we're
wearing
so
all
right.
