You
councilmember
Phil,
let
us
pray,
Charlie
fathers
we
come
before
you,
we
thank
you,
the
meaning
blessing
that
you
provide.
We
know
it
doesn't
have
to
be.
We
thank
you
for
our
mayor,
our
staff,
our
Council,
and
have
any
willingness
to
work
together
for
the
benefit
of
those
that
gave
us
the
privilege
of
serving
them
attorney
father.
Today
we
want
to
ask
a
pressure:
special
prayers
for
Tom
O'brien
and
his
family
amen.
D
C
Them
know
that
he's
not
alone,
and
let
him
know
that
in
the
days
and
weeks
as
we
go
ahead,
he
will
walk
in
your
path
and
we
will
all
so
be
there
to
support
him.
We
ask
for
prayers
for
the
family
of
Mr,
Haskell
Ellison,
who
recently
passed
and
all
the
good
things
that
he's
done.
He
and
his
family
have
done
for
our
community.
Please
watch
over
them
and
keep
them
in
your
own
Grace.

The
eyes
have
it
the
one
and
only
item
on
the
agenda
is
an
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
execute
a
fourth
amendment
to
a
lease
agreement
between
the
City
of
Charleston
and
the
Eco
vest
East
shed
Development
LLC
I
still
move
second
moved
him
properly
seconded.
Why
don't
we
get
a
few
words
on
this
Miss
Creech
for
the
record
and
we
can
go
from
there
thanks
great.
D
Good
afternoon,
everybody
so
just
as
a
matter
of
housekeeping
we've
also
requested
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
the
Second
Amendment
to
this
lease
that
was
done
by
mou,
and
it
appears
that
the
second
amendment
was
an
exhibit
and
only
the
mou
itself
was
executed.
So
first
we
want
to
get
that
taken
care
of
and
as
to
this
Fourth
Amendment,
what
it
essentially
does
is.
It
allows
ecovest
to
exercise
both
of
its
renewal
options
and
adds
two
more
extensions
of
five
years.
D
B
F

A
D
A
Few
of
those
in
particular
so
I'm
going
to
be
hounding
on
you
for
your
help,
but
the
biggest
thing
I
would
say
if
we
move
towards
these
commercial
annexations,
while
also
going
for
the
donut
donut
holes
is
getting
people
like
yourself
who
have
a
connection
or
a
contact
with
someone
who
knows
the
commercial
owner.
It's
a
lot
different
to
send
a
letter
to
a
commercial
property
there.
It
takes
a
lot
more
than
maybe
just
one
meeting.
D
A
The
annexation
coordinator,
so
any
non-incorporated
properties
that
you
all
are
aware
of
I
know.
Mr
Mayor
is
good
about
that
with
me.
He'll
meet
somebody
right
away
and
send
them
straight
to
my
email,
whether
they're
eligible
or
not,
and
so
anything
that
you
can
do
or
if
you
have
a
friend
or
a
friend
of
me,
who's
ready
to
think
about
annexing
or
not
I'm
happy
to
talk
through
them.
So
any
any
assistance
in
those
commercial
properties
would
be
great,
but.
C
Thank
you
for
the
heads
up
on
that
now
we'll
follow
up
as
a
matter
of
fact,
Mr
Midway.
As
you
know,
we
had
a
very
successful
meeting.
Councilman
shade.
Was
there
with
Mr
palaces
about
I?
Don't
know
I
guess
about
two
months
ago
now
and
we
need
to
follow
up
with
them
because
there's
a
big
misnomer
out
there.
He
had
no
idea
the
differential
and
and
tax
millage
rate
and
the
in
the
unincorporated
area
as.
D
C
C
D
C
To
them,
I
mean
I'm,
telling
you
that
block
between
Sam
Rittenberg,
Dupont
Savannah
and
back
to
Orleans
Road.
That's
a
high
impact
commercial
area.
That's
on
the
sea.
I
also
heard
recently
that
the
Lexus
dealership
is
about
to
expand,
and
the
portion
that
they're
going
to
expand
on
is
also
an
unincorporated
area,
so
that
information
Gap
we
gotta.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
we
got
to
fill
that
in.
We
won't
mention
that
that
piece
of
property
over
there
by
Ponderosa.
B
Don't
I
mean
the
people
I
talk
to
say
that
we're
the
folks
pushing
for
that
legislation
are
outgunned
in
Colombia
still
when
you,
when
you
factor
in
the
rural
counties
and
their
representatives,
that
don't
want
this
and
then
all
the
special
interest
groups
that
you
know
work
for
these
different
public
service
districts
and
things
of
that
nature.
It's
just
it's
just
the
numbers.
Aren't
there
from
what
I'm
told
I.
F
B
It
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
then
there's
also
some.
You
know
touchy
issues,
I
mean
you
get
into.
You
know
you
know
one
might
argue.
It
makes
a
whole
lot
of
sense
in
a
scenario
like
Avondale,
for
example,
but
you
know:
should
the
town
of
Mount
Pleasant
be
able
to
force
the
Snowden
community
in
by
force
in
Mount
Pleasant
those
donut
holes?
B
You
know
it
starts
to
become,
but
we
all
know
what
the
you
know:
value
is
of
having
that
type
of
legislation,
but
there
are
some
legitimate
concerns
on
the
other
side
of
that
debate,
but
I'm
sure
our
legislators
will
have
a
very
reasoned
rational
approach
to
this
legislation
and
we'll
know
and
they'll
reach
the
best
decision
for
the
state.
How
about
that.
E
B
Well,
good
deal
we'll
keep
up
the
good
work
and
yeah
I
mean
and
I
can't
stress
the
value
of
reaching
out
to
friends
and
contacts
I
mean
a
friend
of
mine.
I
went
to
high
school
with,
we
just
started
talking
the
other
day
and
he
lives
in
Avondale
and
asked
him
what
color
trash
can
he
had,
and
next
thing
you
know,
got
him
in
touch
with
Molly
and
we
approved
his
annexation
a
couple
weeks
ago.
B
F
So,
thank
you,
Mr
chairman
sorry,
one
one
more
question
on
that
then
Molly.
Do
you
have
a
comparison
that
for
the
taxes
and
I
know,
that's
true
in
Charleston
County,
but
it'd
be
good
for
us
to
have
that
for
Berkeley
County
as
well,
because
I
know
that
we
got
some
donut
holes
out
here.
Do
you
have
that
comparison
that
you
could
send
me.
D
A
I
can
how
it's
set
up
is
for
a
specific
numerical
value.
I
can
put
in
a
random
amount,
random
amount,
an
average
amount,
and
we
can
do
it
like
that.
I'll
be
glad
to
send
that
over
to
you,
we
do
have
them
set
up
for
Berkeley,
County
I
have
it
because
it's
a
comparison
between
the
Public
Service
District
and
the
City
of
Charleston.
Most
of
the
time
we
have
a
West
Ashley
comparison
to
James
Island,
a
John's
Island
comparison.
But
yours
is
the
caneway
comparison.
Okay,.
F
E
E
I
know
the
property
tax
isn't
quite
as
distinct
on
bigger
difference
on
Berkeley
County
from
what
I
remember,
but
I
do
remember
this
councilmember
Greg
that
I
think
your
your
insurance
rate
can
be
impacted
because
of
our
fire
service
compared
to
the
alternative
out
there.
The
volunteer
fire
service
because
of
our
ISO
rating
on
the
fire
department.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
come
up
at
all
or
not
Molly,
but
some.
E
C
A
C
A
Always
make
sure
and
to
include
that
storm
water
piece
they
used
to
be
on
separate
comparisons,
but
I
have
kind
of
revamped
it
to
where
the
top
part
is
the
property
taxes.
This
bottom
part
includes
the
water
sewer
rates
which
do
go
down
when
you
Annex
and
then
the
storm
water
fee.
Unfortunately,
the
one
on
this
side
is
lower,
but
due
to
the
savings
up
here,
it
balances
out
to
give
you
something
like
a
six
hundred
dollar
savings
in
West
Ashley
for
120
000
house,
that's
600
a
year,
so.
