A
Each
and
every
one
of
the
members
of
council
so
we're
getting
ready
to
move
forward
and
helping
you
assess
all
of
your
options.
Jason
and
I
have
been
working
real
closely
together
and
he
has
a
an
initial
report
in
drafts
in
draft,
and
so
as
soon
as
the
staff
approves
it
we'll
get
it
out
to
all
of
you
and
and
get
moving
pretty
quickly.
Here
on
on
helping
you
narrow
in
on
on
whether
or
not
to
be
fair
with
Parks
bonds
and
and
how
to
get.
B
That
great,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
and
jumping
on
that
so
quickly.
I
know
that
time
is
of
the
essence
for
us
with
what
we
may
want
to
do
with
this,
and
I
really
appreciate
how
much
you've
gone
after
this
and
and
gotten
in
front
of
us
and
I
know
everybody
I
speak
for
everybody
and
we
say
we're
excited
to
sit
down
with
you.
So
thank
you
so
much
any
questions
before
we
move
on
there
all
right,
very
good.
E
E
That
makes
all
the
recommendations
based
on
all
of
the
data.
That's
in
that
plan.
We've
also
sent
you
out
that
that
draft
project
list,
that
was
that
was
developed
out
of
the
plan
and
again
based
on
the
email.
If
we
haven't
given
you
an
a
due
date,
but
hopefully
it'll
be
sooner
than
later,
and
we
would
just
look
to
you
to
come
up
with
your
three
most
important
priorities
from
the
plan
within
your
District
so
that
we
can
move
a
list
forward.
B
E
I
think
it's
probably
a
mix,
I
think
there's
some
system-wide
recommendations.
The
plan
makes
but
there's
there's
the
big
moves
as
well.
So
I
think
you
know,
since
the
plan
is
broken
down
into
five
planning
districts
which
are
really
geographical
outside
of
the
12
council
districts.
You
know
some
of
some
of
the
priorities
might
be
nearby
or
serve
multiple
districts.
E
So
in
12
council
members,
three
priorities
each
we're
going
to
have
to
you
know
figure
out
what
it
is
in
the
end
and
so
I
think
you
know
you
don't
have
to
limit
yourself
to
three,
but
if
there's
some,
some
big
picture
system-wide
or
some
of
the
big
moves,
that
is
a
priority
for
you.
I
think
you
know,
send
them
along
and
we'll
just
try
to
pull
it
all
together
and
make
sense
out
of
a
list.
Okay,.
E
So
basically
you
have
total
all
existing
and
new
parks
if
you
went
system-wide
total
and
that's
over
200
million
dollars.
Okay,
if
you
look
at
new
parks
and
Facilities
over
10
years,
you're
looking
at
about
130
million
dollars
and
if
you
just
break
it
down
into
repairs
and
improvements
in
existing
Parks
over
10
years,
it's
about
90
million,
okay,.
C
Okay,
I
mean
the
the
reason
why
I
ask
is
because,
as
we
set
up
our
priority
list
for
you,
I
did
did
read
your
piece.
I
just
needed
to
know
that,
because
that
could
have
some
potential
political
ramifications
as
we
as
we
all
know,
and
we
have
to
really
be
careful
at
those
selections
to
make
sure
that
they're
all
inclusive
right.
E
And
I
will
say
that
you
know
the
plan.
Recommendations
are
really
in
a
perfect
world
right
and
it
takes
in
a
lot
into
consideration
over
10
years.
So
we
just
have
to
figure
out
collectively
how
we
want
to
apply
the
plan
and
what
our
goals
would
be
over
a
certain
amount
of
time
to
get
to
get.
Some
important
work
done
based
on
our
current
population
and
the
population
that
we
anticipate
being
here
in
the
future
is.
C
E
Yeah
I
would
say
for
new
facilities,
we're
always
going
to
take
those
principles
into
consideration,
so
the
rest
kind
of
the
the
Deferred
maintenance.
If
you
will
gotcha
that's
the
kind
of
the
boilerplate
stuff,
whether
it's
a
broken
sidewalk,
a
fence
that
needs
to
be
replaced,
some
signage
that
needs
to
be
upgraded,
some
Turf
that
needs
to
be
repaired
or
some
facility
improvements
that
need
to
happen.
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
everything
there
and
I
saw
that
the
mayor
had
his
hand
up
sorry
and.
C
C
E
C
C
D
So
with
that
question
in
mind,
I
just
thought
I
would
share
the
perspective
that
you
know
we
we
spend
money
on
Parks
now
already
I
mean
doing
this,
Bond
wouldn't
be
new
in
a
way.
It's
it's
just
more
intensified
and
able
to
do
some
bigger
projects,
particularly
in
a
larger
bite.
So,
for
example,
I
think
when
we
had
our
Workshop.
D
We
shared
that
we
had
this
year
in
this
year's
budget
about
seven
or
eight
million
dollars
worth
of
parks
related
stuff
that
we're
we're
doing
and-
and
we
certainly
I
I
know
things
like
you
know.
The
regular
maintenance
items
are
on
that
big
big
list
of
200
million,
and
we
could
do
some
more
of
that,
but
but
to.
D
You
know
the
the
number
one
thing
that
keeps
on
coming
back
to
my
mind
as
an
example
is
the
W.L
Stevens
pool
West
Ashley
needs
to
just
totally
be
replaced
in
my
opinion,
but
those
kinds
of
things
that
really
require
some
Capital
up
front,
that
aren't
a
part
of
our
Capital
plan
already
but
kind
of
above
and
beyond
the
normal
maintenance
and
and
park
replacement
that
we
do
like
playground
replacement
that
it's
on
a
somewhat
regular
schedule.
Anyway.
That's
my
thinking
on
it.
Yes
thank.
G
G
Or
is
that
typically
for
just
new
projects,
I
guess
from
a
strategy
standpoint-
and
we
had
this
discussion
this
morning,
if
you're
a
you
know,
constituent,
downtown
and
you're
you're
being
asked
to
vote
on
something
it's
very
visceral
when
it's
an
improvement
to
a
park
that
you
use
currently,
so,
whether
it's
additional
lighting
or
you
know,
new
sod
or
whatever
that
is
so
I
guess.
My
question
is:
is:
is
that
always
included
in
in
on
referendums,
which
is
the
general
maintenance?
Are
we
always
thinking
about
potential
new
parks
and
new
projects.
D
If
I,
if
I
may
respond
I
rode
by
last
night
and
or
yesterday-
and
it
was
a
joy
to
see
people
out
there
playing
soccer
on
our
new
turf
field
out
there
out
of
field
that
had
not
been
highly
utilized,
you
know
for
weather
conditions
and
other
reasons.
So
another
example
in
my
brain
would
be
like
the
Stanley
Chisholm
Park,
where
we
need
we
could
upgrade
to
Turf
rather
than
the
the
what
we
have
now
and
add
lights,
but
we
already
have
the
park.
D
So
it's
not
like
building
a
new
part
but
significant
improvement
improvement
to
an
existing
part.
Beyond
just
going
out
and
fertilizing
the
grass
in
the
springtime.
You
know,
Ed
and
turf
would
be
a
significant
Improvement.
Adding
to
nighttime
lights
would
be
a
significant
Improvement.
Those
kinds
of
things
I
think
we're
looking
for.
Thank.
G
D
D
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
and
yes,
councilmember
Gregory
I
would
say:
yes,
that's
it.
Those
are
exactly
the
type
of
things
say.
Everybody
already
knows
what
I've
got
to
ask
for
my
list,
but
but
on
I
know
I'm
at
our
Workshop
I
know:
Miss
Wharton
was
there,
but
is
anyone
from
Finance
here
I
mean
we
haven't
really
gotten
that
idea
at
all
about.
You
know
what
a
village
increase.
H
You
know
what
how
many
million
per
millage
increase
you
know
is
there
anybody
that
can
give
us
that
you
know
an
idea,
because
certainly
that
kind
of
you
know
circles
us
back
to
the
question
that
we're
all
asking
is.
What
do
we
ask
for
I
mean
you
know
a
new
rec
center
and
lights?
That's
a
big
difference.
You
know
how
much
will
that
cause
taxes
to
increase
anyone
on
the
call
that
can
I
mean
ballpark
or
do
we
have
any
idea,
but.
C
B
A
We
usually
assume
a
pretty
conservative
interest
rate
and
all
those
things
we
also
assume
that
all
of
the
bonds
are
issued
at
the
same
time
and
most
cities
don't
do
that
because
you
do
them
in
in
pieces.
Of
course,
Jason
has
that
that
the
finance
department
will
look
at
to
be
sure
that
that
they
believe
it's
accurate
and
correct,
and
then
we
will
try
to
after
getting
all
of
your
input
and
doing
some
some
public
survey
work
we'll
come
back
with
a
recommendation
to
you
off.
A
G
A
A
E
B
B
I
Thank
you
Mr
chairman,
so
just
an
update
for
the
committee
is
coming
on
board.
October
17th
of
last
year,
I
decided
to
spend
the
first
90
days
to
build
a
foundation
and
a
platform
in
which
this
position
would
operate
under
try
to
figure
out
where
that
umbrella
lies,
sort
of
what
fell
under
my
responsibilities
or
what
stayed
within
the
department.
I
I
met
regularly
with
Mr
O'rourke
on
sort
of
his
idea
in
the
plan
that
he
had
built
out
in
the
master
plan,
we
took
a
lot
from
it,
some
of
it,
as
he
had
presented
in
the
master
plan.
We
do
not
believe,
is
the
direction
this
department
should
go
and
serving
individuals
outside
of
our
community
I
think
we
need
to
really
focus
on
what
opportunities
we
can
provide
our
residents.
I
So
after
January
21st
we
had
a
business
plan
and
pro
forma
approved
at
that
point.
I
began
reaching
out
to
local
decision
makers
during
that
first
three
months,
I
built
a
network
of
almost
963
decision
makers.
Here
in
the
community,
I've
already
had
one-on-one
discussions
with
196
of
those
and
those
are
going
to
be
long-term
conversations.
I
I
We
are
the
first
line
of
physical
and
Social
Development
for
these
kids
as
we're
reaching
kids
three
to
five
all
the
way
up
into
their
middle
school
years
as
we're
impacting
their
physical
development,
we're
bringing
them
into
a
team
setting
and
having
an
impact
on
their
societal
growth
as
well,
and
those
are
stories
that
need
to
be
told
right
now.
We
just
do
not
have
the
capacity
or
the
ability
to
tell
those
stories
with
Facebook
and
Instagram
being
new
to
new
to
the
department.
I
Despite
reaching
325
000
people
to
our
venues
last
year,
we
already
only
have
3
000
people
on
Facebook,
so
trying
to
get
that
messaging
out
telling
the
stories
of
those
kids
is
something
that
I
think
we
need
to
put
a
lot
more
focus
and
attention
to.
In
doing
so,
it
will
increase
the
value
of
the
programs
that
we
are
putting
forth
and
therefore
increase
the
value
of
the
sponsorships
that
we
can
bring
on
to
support
those.
G
I
B
I
It
does
not
make
sense
for
five
different
departments
to
operate
at
a
10
percent
capacity
to
reach
a
very
small
scale
of
people
with
talking
to
the
each
department
we're
only
reaching
25
to
50
people
per
event
well
paying
for
movie
screens
at
our
cost,
popcorn
whatever
it
may
be.
So
it's
not
friendly
to
the
finances
or
the
Staffing
time
so
bringing
everybody
together,
we're
looking
to
create
a
music
and
movie
series
in
the
summer
downtown
at
Gatson,
Borough
Park,
in
which
we
can
all
lend
whatever
assets.
I
We
have
available
to
us
to
reach
500
to
750
people
per
event
and
use
that
as
a
revenue
generating
opportunity
as
well,
but
it's
also
an
a
great
location
downtown
where
it's
a
free
event
to
some
of
our
inner
city
communities.
So
it's
accessible,
whether
it's
by
Carta
or
walking,
so
we
can
provide
a
large-scale
family-friendly
event
downtown
that
benefits
Community
but
is
also
financially
sustainable.
H
I
F
Councilmember
Parker,
if
you
don't
mind,
I'll
jump
in.
Thank
you
Justin.
This
is
Lori,
so
the
first
year
of
budgeting
with
Justin
there
were
some
numbers
thrown
around
and
I
did
not
think
it
was
fair
to
bring
Justin
in
and
say
Here's
your
goal
make
it
and,
and
your
salary
is
attached
to
it-
that
just
somehow
didn't
seem
fair,
so
and
I
don't
think
he
would
have
accepted
the
offer
either.
So
we've
been
working
in
in
a
more
relatable
way,
trying
to
put
some
real
numbers
to
this.
F
Is
it
60
000
the
first
year
realizing
that
Justin's
got
to
create
a
foundation
and
the
relationships
and
honestly,
what
he's
managed
to
do
some
research
on
and
pick
away
at?
Is
we
have
a
lot
of
value,
but
we've
got
to
be
able
to
demonstrate
that
to
these
folks
that
are
willing
to
spend
money.
So,
instead
of
just
saying
it's
a
dollar
and
then
we're
going
to
invest
it
here,
we've
kind
of
grown
it
a
little
more
organically
than
that,
but
we
will
put
those
funds
back
into
our
programs
as
needed.
F
We've
done
that
with
all
the
sponsorships
that
we've
managed
over
the
last
10
years
to
get
in
this
department,
but
we
have
not
hemmed
ourselves
into
where
Justin's
got
to
bring
in
200
000
or
we
don't
get
to
do
A
and
B
and
C.
So
those
programs
are
not
attached
to
those
dollars
at
this
point,
but
we
will
start
working
as
those
dollars
come
in
to
identify
uses.
H
B
All
right
any
other,
any
other
questions
or
comments
for
for
Justin
or
Laurie
well.
Well,
great
work,
so
far,
Justin
I'm
excited
for
about
what
you've
done
and
where
you're
headed.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
all
your
work
and
and
I've
seen
you
jumping
in
doing
other
things,
driving
wreck
buses
and
all
kinds
of
other
things
too.
So
thank
you
for
the
extra
work
you
do
outside
of
your
job
description,
because
I
know
you're
very,
very
valuable
to
our
Recreation
and
Parks
departments.
So
thank
you.
So
much
for
all
you
do.
F
I'm
glad
you
said
that
he
best
way
the
Justin's
found
to
understand
this
department
is
to
immerse
himself
in
it.
So
his
co-workers
have
asked
his
help
for
unloading
things
and
setting
up
things.
He
he
was
the
Easter
Bunny
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
a
couple
sites,
so
he
really
has
joined
in
and
worked
with
everyone,
even
though
his
position
is
very
unique
to
this
department,
but
it's
helped
him
understand
our
community
and
who
we
serve
and
who
we
are
a
lot
better.
H
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman
I
know
we
have
a
little
bit
of
time.
So
I
know
Staffing
wasn't
on
the
agenda,
but
I
do
just
have
some
questions
or
would
like
to
discuss
some
of
the
Staffing
or
field
maintenance,
Park
maintenance
issues.
I
know
at
our
last
committee
meeting
we
chatted
about
Staffing
and
you
know
it
it
all.
H
You
know,
and
how
can
we,
as
a
committee,
help
these
departments
I'll
just
give
you
an
example
over
here
on
the
island
everybody's
sort
of
crammed
into
all
these
fields
at
the
rec
center,
but
we
have
some
really
beautiful
baseball
fields
and
parks
and
and
things
that
can
be
utilized.
It's
just
that
they're
not
always
able
to
be
maintained.
I
think
you
know
regularly
to
where
they
can
be
used.
So
I
just
didn't
know.
H
B
F
Yeah,
so
Jason
cronzberg
and
I
worked
pretty
closely
on
that
and
and
have
with
the
folks
that
are
available
to
both
of
us
in
our
departments
as
well.
I
couldn't
speak
to
the
specifics
of
Jason
Staffing
right
now.
We
have
actually
done
a
little
better.
This
year
we
are
especially
seeing
an
uptick
in
full-time
positions
and
people
applying
for
jobs.
F
So
that's
been
helpful
to
us
and
we
also
rely
very
heavily
on
volunteers,
but
I'd
have
to
let
Jason
speak
to
where
he
is
in
terms
of
his
Staffing
I
just
know
it's
very
difficult
to
find
trades
Craftsmen
people
out
there
in
terms
of
if
you
try
to
get
somebody
to
paint
your
house
you're
on
an
eight-month
wait
list,
and
so
I
have
no
idea
where
they
are
but
I
know.
That's
a
tough
one
to
fill.
E
We
always
try
to
keep
up
with
the
recreation
scheduling.
The
recreation
scheduling
does
not
get
lower.
It
just
gets
more
and
we've
got
six
staff
members
that
do
ball
field
maintenance
and
they
go
from
Daniel
Island
to
John's
Island,
and
it's
just
it's
hard
to
get
everything
and
our
ultimate
goal
is
to
make
sure
we
get
the
field
maintenance
done
for
the
program
for
the
programmed
or
scheduled
schedule
that
the
recreation
department
gets
to
us.
E
We
don't
always
get
it
done
most
of
the
time
we
do
so
it's
hard
to
kind
of
keep
adding
more
when
you
don't
have
any
more
people
to
do
it.
So
it's
just
it's
a
it's.
A
tough
one
and
I.
Don't
have
a
a
good
answer
for
anyone
on
it.
You
know
side
of
talking
about
affordable
housing
and
why
people
live
in
Charleston.
E
H
So
I
know
we're
not
going
to
solve.
You
know
that
problem
today,
but
as
far
as
you
know,
maintenance
goes
and
since
we
have
the
Enterprise
Manager
on
the
line.
I
know
I've
said
this
before
you
know
what
about
getting
these
sponsorships
to
sort
of
take
on
these
fields
for
a
season
if
again
I'm
using
James
Island?
As
you
know,
this
is
all
I
know
so
councilmember
Sacrament
councilmember
Gregory,
councilmember
shealy.
You
know
if
help
me
here.
You
know
guide
me
with
I.
H
Don't
know
your
the
situation
with
your
fields
and
your
District,
so
I'm,
just
using
James
Island
as
an
example,
but,
like
I
said
we
have
beautiful
Fields,
but
we
are
we're
stretched
thin
I
mean
we
only
have
so
many
crews
and
they're
doing
everything
city-wide.
So
how
can
we
again,
maybe
not
as
much
Staffing,
but
you
know
Contract
Services
out
gain
sponsorships
to
help.
You
know
with
the
field
maintenance
for
a
season.
You
know.
How
can
we
help
you?
You
know,
because,
ultimately
we
all
want
the
same
thing.
H
F
We
can
show
value
and
I
think
they'll
want
to
buy
in
where
we're
going
to
have
to
do
it
carefully,
though,
or
with
some
some
really
hard
efforts
is
in
some
of
our
areas
that
are
more
inner
city,
some
of
our
areas
that
have
some
disparity
in
terms
of
economics
and
and
those
kind
of
things.
So
we
may
not
have
some
of
those
field,
sponsorship
signs
and
some
of
our
Parks
downtown,
where
some
of
our
inner
city
teams
play
and
so
we're
going
to
have
to
share
the
wealth.
F
But
Justin
is
definitely
looking
at
that
as
a
way
of
trying
to
advertise,
sell
those
advertisements
in
all
places.
I
don't
want
to
divulge
any
of
the
companies
he's
talking
to,
but
he's
got
some
some
fairly
big
places
out
there
that
he's
talking
with
it
just
doesn't
come
together
as
quickly
as
we
may
want
it
to,
but
I
think.
If
we're
able
to
generate
that
Revenue
stream,
we
could
do
that
with
our
parts.
Department
is
to
make
sure
that
we
invest
money
back
into
those
fields
with
having
some.
G
Thank
you
chair
and
thanks
Lori
for
that
and
councilwoman
Parker
you're,
absolutely
correct
and
I
guess
I'm.
Just
trying
to
understand
that
the
issue
is
it's
not
an
issue
of
funding
right
I
mean
it's
an
issue
of
Staffing
as
a
small
business
owner,
I'm
I
would
happily
sponsor
any
of
the
downtown
parks
and
Fields
I'm
more
than
happy
to
do
that.
But
I
guess.
My
question
is
Jason
of
all
of
a
sudden.
You
saw
an
influx
of
you
know:
twenty
thirty
thousand
dollars
to
be
dispersed
around
some
of
the
fields.
G
E
If,
if
we
were
to
figure
out
a
contract
scenario,
we'd
just
have
to
I'm
sure
there
are
companies
out
there
that
do
that
and
we
could
get
them
on
a
routine
schedule.
But
but
yes
to
your
point,
is
it's
it's
Staffing
across
the
board?
It's
it's
having
the
people
that
know-how
and
can
spend
the
money,
provide
the
oversight
for
the
contractors,
but
then
getting
that
so
yeah
this
it's
a
little
bit
of
everything.
F
And
I'll
say
honestly,
looking
at
some
information,
I
shared
with
you
all
a
couple
of
meetings
ago.
If
you
look
at
our
numbers,
our
numbers
right
now
for
participation
are
so
much
higher
than
they
were
even
four
years
ago.
This
time,
three
years
ago,
this
time
when
we
register
for
Esports,
we
don't
say
the
first,
a
thousand
kids
that
register
get
in
and
the
rest
of
you.
Don't
we
take
registration
for
an
entire
period
and
right
now
our
numbers
are
high
and
huge
and
we've
had
to
get
creative
in
how
we
offer
Sports.
F
So
we
started
doing
little
kids,
basketball
in
the
fall
instead
of
in
the
winter.
We
may
have
to
do
that
with
some
other
sports,
so
we
may
be
doing
t-ball
with
the
four
and
five-year-olds
you
know
in
the
fall
instead
of
in
the
spring,
when
I'm
doing
other
fields
we're
just
going
to
have
to
figure
out
the
best
ways
to
take
the
resources
we
have
and
make
them
work.
So,
but
but
Jason
is
fighting
an
uphill
battle
from
us,
because
every
year
we
add
more
more
individuals
to
this
program
program.
C
H
G
H
Sorry,
more
specifically
I
mean,
like
you,
said,
Contracting
these
Services
out
for
specific
Parks,
you
know,
is
it?
Is
it
having
these
specific
parks
and
and
letting
you
know,
and
you
getting
a
number
or
you
know
does?
Does
that
I
mean?
Is
that
us
helping
you
Jason
and
Laurie?
You
know
we.
We
know
that
you're
stretched
in
and
we're
facing.
Obviously
all
of
our
coaching
off
of
volunteers,
but
the
parks
maintenance.
E
Yeah,
we
just
have
to
figure
out
what
the
scope
of
work
would
be:
make
a
budget
request
for
annual
contract
maintenance
and
and
just
and
determine
that
again,
like,
like
I've
explained
you
before,
we
work
based
on
the
schedule,
the
recreation
to
provides
us,
and
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
maintaining
the
correct
areas.
But
yes,
if
we
make
a
budget
request,
we
figure
out
what
that
scope
of
work
needs
to
be
I
mean
that's
another
way
to
do
it.
E
We
can
certainly
take
the
pressure
off
of
the
six
folks
that
do
that
work
and
you
know
figure
out
how
to
kind
of
do
a
hybrid
contract
maintenance
when
I
started
here
at
the
city
in
2010,
as
a
project
manager,
then
in
2012
got
more
into
the
operations
side
of
things.
Since
then,
we've
grown
our
contract
maintenance
program.
E
B
You
know
I
mean
we
do
it
with
with
sanitation
right
now,
where
we
just
have
a
trident
waste,
does
outside
of
5
to
26
in
West,
Ashley
I
think
it's
Republic
that
does
Daniel
Island,
but
you
know,
and
maybe
there's
a
maybe
there's
something
we
can
look
at
there.
I.
Don't
you
know,
I,
don't
know
just
just
an
idea.
The
way
they
the
way
they've
done
it
to
help
out
with
with
the
need
there.
Yeah
I.
E
Mean
right
now:
we,
for
instance,
we
The
Greenway,
is
a
contract
maintenance.
All
of
Daniel
Island
grass
cutting
is
Con
contract
maintenance.
We
do
all
the
infield
prep,
but
we
have
contracts
on
car,
Richardson
Park.
We
have
contracts
on
the
African-American
Museum.
We
have
contracts
on
a
number
of
newer
parks
around
the
city
that
we're
just
not
really
capable
of
based
on
the
number
of
Crews
that
we
have
to
take
care
of
them.
So
that's
I
mean
it's
what
we
do
already
we
just
gotta.
You
know.
C
Is
there
a
way
for
us
to
respond
in
kind
because
it
because
it's
just
it's
just
being
left
out
there
right
and
I
mean
we
know
better
and
that
there
is
an
answer
to
why
you
do
this
one
versus
the
others,
because
if
you
did
them
all,
you
were
talking
about
what
a
hundred
and
something
you
think
I
mean
I
just
and
the
point
I'm
making.
Is
that
I?
C
F
B
F
That
kind
of
talked
about
the
number
of
events
we
had,
including
the
fact
that,
on
the
Saturday
before
Easter,
the
City
of
Charleston
partnered
with
Mr
Jones's,
concerned
citizens
of
the
peninsula,
slash
low
country
and
provided
a
jump
castle
staff
and
prizes
for
the
Easter
egg
hunt
that
was
done
at
Martin
Park.
So
in
all
we
held
12
Easter
events
throughout
the
city
and
on
the
east
side
there
was
one
at
St
Julian.
F
There
was
one
at
Shaw
and
there
was
one
at
Martin
Park,
so
I
think
we
covered
that
area
pretty
well,
and
then
we
did
something
on
the
at
Arthur
Christopher
with
that
group,
and
we
did
something
McMahon.
So
we
tried
to
cover
a
number
of
areas,
I'm
happy
to
to
go
into
more
detail
or
take
thoughts
from
any
of
you
all
a
better
way.
We
can
do
it,
but
given
given
the
old
way,
we
did
it,
which
was
one
huge
Easter
event
and
the
community
came
to
us.
F
We've
gotten
great
feedbacks
from
our
staff
and
from
our
community
since
coved
when
we've
gone
into
smaller,
more
manageable
events
and
allowed
families
to
take
part
in
them
without
having
to
go
into
a
5
000
person
crowd
at
Hampton,
Park
and
and
get
in
line
with
folks
from
Goose,
Creek
and
Ladson
that
want
to
take
part
in
the
City
of
Charleston
egg
hunt.
So
this
year
we
had
some
great
community
events.
Johns
Island
was
well
attended.
We
had
events
on
James
Island,
we
had
events
and
we
worked
at
Thomas
Johnson.
F
We
worked
directly
with
with
with
Donna
Jenkins
and
her
neighborhood
association
to
put
on
an
egg
hunt.
So
I
think
we're
doing
a
lot
of
the
things
we
should
be
doing
and
doing
them
correctly.
But
I
am
happy
to
share
that
information
in
some
different
ways:
councilmember
Gregory,
because
I
assure
you
we're
doing
everything
we
can
do
to
serve
the
needs
of
all
of
our
residents,
especially
our
residents
that
that
need
us.
The
most
okay.
F
C
Well,
it's
coming
off
as
something
more
personal
than
anything
of
substance
to
me,
but
but
if
you
have,
if
you,
if
you've
already
done
some
response,
I'm
fine
with
that
I
just
want
I
I
just
didn't
get
a
chance
to
read
what
you
sent
out,
but
I.
Think
the
suggestion
of
the
mayor
to
send
it
out
to
all
of
us
was
a
good
one.
I.
F
C
C
B
C
B
B
I
was
in
the
Sun
a
little
bit.
Thank
you
for
noticing
all
right.
Well,
if
there's
nothing
else,
thank
you
all
for
for
all
of
your
efforts,
all
your
time,
Justin.
Thank
you
for
a
great
report
and
all
that
you're
doing
and
and
Lori.
Thank
you
for
all
of
your
efforts
and
Jason
you
as
well.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
all
you
do
for
our
parks
and
recs
departments.
If
there's
nothing
else,
we
are
adjourned.
