Description
City of Charleston Committee on Recreation 5/23/2022
C
All
right,
so
I
want
to
welcome
everyone
to
the
recreation
committee
meeting
for
may
23rd
2022
and
if
we
would
they'll
just
share
me,
start
off
on
youtube.
C
C
Amen,
thank
you
all
right,
so
happy
to
see
everybody
very
happy
to
see
laurie
yarborough
who,
who
gave
up
her
jury
duty
responsibilities
today
to
be
here.
She
had
to
change
out
for
another
time
and
I
think
jason's
going
to
join
us.
It
was
interesting
they
had
the
same
jury
duty
assignment
at
the
same
time
both
lori
and
jason
krosberg.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
C
I
appreciate
it
and
hopefully
I
think
the
mayor
will
be
joining
us
as
well
in
just
a
little
bit,
I'm
happy
to
see
that
he's
feeling
well
enough
to
be
joining
in
on
committee
meetings.
I
know
he
was
on
committee
meetings
earlier
so
great
to
have
all
everybody
here
and
we
do
have
some
special
guests
who
I'll
introduce
in
just
a
minute.
We
need
to
approve
the
minutes
from
march
7th,
and
do
I
hear
a
motion
to
approve
those
minutes?
Please.
C
D
C
C
Yeah,
thank
you
wanda.
It
was.
That
was
very,
very
good
notes.
So
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you,
and
next
up
we're
gonna
have
a
presentation
from
daniel
strickland
and
lance
tyner,
and
I'm
going
to
let
them
both
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
themselves,
they're,
both
avid
tennis
players
and
they
use
our
tennis
facilities
a
lot
and
they
wanted
to
make
a
presentation
to
us
the
last
time
and
we
had
some
technical
difficulties,
and
so
I
certainly
invited
them
back
and
I
look
forward
to
hearing
what
they
have
to
say.
C
So
I
guess
lance.
If
you
want
to
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
yourself
and
you
know
you
and
you
and
daniel
work
together
on
this,
we
we
look
forward
to
hearing
what
you
have
to
say.
E
Yeah,
so
I've
lived
in
charleston
about
10
years
and
I'm
a
financial
advisor.
I
have
a
tennis
player
and
just
in
enjoy
doing
anything
I
can
to
promote
the
community
and
and
good
health
in
our
community
that
we
have
and
daniel
did.
You
want
to
introduce
yourself
before
I
say
anything
further.
F
Good
afternoon,
everyone,
this
is
daniel
strickland.
Please
forgive
me
for
my
voice,
but
I
captured
a
cold
this
weekend
and
it
has
taken
away
my
voice
almost
to
the
point
that
I
can't
speak
any
longer.
But
again,
I'm
daniel
strickland.
I've
lived
here
for
almost
eight
years
now
as
lance
I'm
an
avid
tennis
player.
F
I
also
have
a
coaching
background:
I'm
an
educator
in
berkeley
county,
but
I
live
in
charleston
county
in
the
city
limits,
of
course,
only
two
minutes
away
from
may
bank
tennis
center
I've
coached
for
about
25
years
and,
as
I
said,
been
living
here
for
eight
years
and
really
enjoyed
playing
tennis
in
this
very
large
and
growing
tennis
community.
E
So
I
we
appreciate
your
time
today
and
we
just
again
it's
it's
a
great.
It's
been
a
great
recently.
You
know,
mayor
teklenberg
recognize
the
city
of
charleston
as
and
the
contribution
tennis
has
made
to
our
community
by
name
may
is
tennis
month,
and
we
wanted
to
share
with
you
a
specific
need
at
maybank
tennis
center.
But
before
I
get
to
that
specific
need,
I
wanted
to
just
mention
to
you.
Why
does
why?
E
Does
it
even
matter
I
mean
maybach
tennis
center
obviously
is
in
one
of
the
12
districts
that
y'all
represent,
but
I
wanted
to
tell
you
why
it's
important
for
every
one
of
the
districts
that
you
were
in
because
low
country
tennis
association
is
our
local
tennis
association,
which
does
incorporate
all
12
districts
right
now.
It
is
the
sixth
largest
tennis
association
in
the
entire
united
states,
we're
up
there
with
chicago
atlanta
dallas,
we're
the
only
non-major
metro
market,
we're
larger
than
charlotte,
or
a
lot
of
other,
very
large
cities
in
participation
in
tennis.
E
E
One
of
the
issues
we're
having
is
you
know,
just
in
recently,
we
had
a
match
that
was
scheduled
for
7
30.
It
wasn't
able
to
start
till
9
pm.
E
To
start-
and
that's
you
know,
16
adults
that
are
doing
that
on
a
week
night
and
and
there's
a
big
shortage
of
course,
particularly
at
night
and
on
weekends.
E
The
now
ever
since
we've
had
the
outset
of
covet,
we've
seen
a
market
rise
in
our
communities
of
increased
obesity,
increased
anxiety
and
increased
depression
and
tennis
programs
are
a
good
tool.
One
of
many
tools
that
is
utilized
to
get
outdoors
and
improve
each
of
those
problems
that
all
have
a
cost
to
our
society.
E
Just
to
let
you
know
too,
it
impacts
the
youth
as
well.
There's
youth
programs
there's
high
schools
that
use
these
tennis
courts,
there's
programs
that
serve
underprivileged
youth
and
then
finally,
it
also
affects
tourism.
E
Charleston
is
increasingly
known
as
the
tennis
town,
it's
one
of
the
top
cities
in
the
united
states,
that
draws
tennis
people
and
they
come
to
watch
tennis,
but
they
also
come
to
play
and
participate,
and
currently
we,
you
know
on
a
daily
basis.
There
are
times
when
people
are
turned
away
from
the
courts
that
can't
participate
just
because
there
aren't
enough
spots
on
the
court
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
daniel
and
he'll.
Do
the
full
presentation
here.
F
F
We
have
a
large
number
of
people
that
move
here,
as
lance
just
pointed
out
for
recreation
and
tennis
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
some
people
even
move
here.
We
have
a
long
history
of
tennis
and
charleston
with
our
juniors
adults,
and
we
also
have
our
professional
tenants
with
credit
one
open
that
was
renamed
this
year.
F
As
many
of
you
are
aware,
we
have
been
named
america's
best
tennis
town
in
2010
and
that's
when
we
competed
with
81
cities.
I
remember
that
when
I
was
in
columbia
because
I
used
to
serve
on
the
usta
board
in
colombia
and
we
had
presentations
from
charleston
representatives
that
came
and
presented
to
the
usta,
so
I
remember
that
very
well
just
a
few
facts
and
figures.
If
you
didn't
know
this
just
came
out
in
march
that
over
the
past
two
years
tennis
has
grown
by
27.9
percent.
F
F
Well,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
reasons
here,
and
some
of
the
facts
are
that
it
shows
that,
as
lance
already
pointed
out,
we
are
the
sixth
largest
local
tennis
league
in
the
united
states
and
a
couple
figures
here
for
our
local
tennis.
We
had
over
500
new
tennis
players
that
were
registered
in
22
just
this
spring.
F
F
So
we're
seeing
that
this
is
a
large
increase
at
all
levels
of
play,
and
that
includes
juniors.
The
usda
has
done
a
real
good
job
of
communicating
through
the
cove
time
that
tennis
is
a
great
way
to
play
a
sport
safely.
You
know,
maybank
has
seen
an
increase
in
our
memberships
during
this
period
of
time.
Over
the
past
three
years,
we
are
over
400
members.
At
this
point,
more
members
has
caused
a
strain
on
our
court's
availability.
F
Many
of
our
junior
programs,
especially
at
maybank.
They
are
restricted
to
using
four
courts
because
of
the
number
of
adults
that
are
coming
on
the
courts.
At
that
particular
time,
adult
leagues
teams
are
forced
to
play
at
other
facilities.
We
have
teams
that
sign
up
at
maybank,
but
then
they're
told
that
they
have
to
play
somewhere
else,
because
we
don't
have
room
for
them.
F
F
So
kovit
has
really
hit
the
tennis
community
in
a
positive
way,
because
we
are
seeing
lots
more
growth
within
tennis.
F
Well,
just
a
little
history
on
maybank
and
the
fly.
The
five
clay
courts
could
be
a
remedy
for
what
we're
seeing
with
the
numbers
that
are
going
on
at
maybach.
Maybang,
of
course,
was
taken
over
by
the
city
in
2012..
Renovations
were
completed
in
october
of
2012..
F
Lights
on
the
clay
courts
would
help
alleviate
some
of
the
overcrowding
that
we
are
experiencing
because
all
of
the
adult
play
or
most
the
majority
I
won't
say
all
because
we
do
have
day
leagues,
but
a
lot
of
the
play
is
going
on
at
night.
So
by
putting
lights
on
these
five
clay
courts
would
definitely
help
alleviate
some
of
that
growth.
F
I
know
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
large
expenditure,
but
in
getting
a
couple
of
quotes,
you
can
see
here
what
the
cost
of
five
quarts
would
allow
us
to
put
lights
on.
The
approximate
cost
is
anywhere
from
22
thousand
to
around
twenty
eight
thousand
per
court,
and
that,
of
course,
does
not
include
wiring
and
labor.
So,
just
to
give
you
an
idea,
we
have
gone
out.
We
got
some
bids
here
to
see
what
that
would
possibly
cost
us.
F
So
what
are
we
asking
for?
We
are
asking
that
the
city
of
charleston
provide
funding
for
installation
of
lights
on
the
existing
flight,
five
clay
courts
at
maybank
tennis
center,
we're
asking
not
only
that
you
provide
that,
but
you
also
fund
the
one
charleston
parks
and
recreation
master
plan
that
was
created
a
couple
of
years
ago,
because
we
know
that
I
had
many
of
my
players
make
sure
that
they
filled
that
out,
because
a
lot
of
the
questions
pertain
to
tennis
facilities
in
the
area.
F
We
realized
that
this
is
gonna,
be
expenditure
for
the
city,
but
we're
not
coming
to
you
with
our
hands
completely
out
and
saying:
hey
we're
not
bringing
something
to
the
table.
We
are.
F
We
have
a
possibility
of
receiving
some
grant
funding
from
the
usda,
they
have
one
grant
from
southern
and
one
grant
from
national
and
that's
called
the
facility
services
grant.
We
also
somehow
have
some
individuals
on
our
committee
that
have
said
they
are
willing
to
go
out
and
get
some
company
sponsorship
or
even
donations,
to
make
this
happen.
F
E
E
C
Great,
thank
you
mayor
teklenberg.
Did
you
have
a
question.
G
Thank
thank
all
for
your
willingness
to
help
improve
our
facilities.
Thank
you.
So
much
were
there
any
other
locations
around
the
city
that
were
in
a
similar
situation,
where
some
lighting
would.
E
H
Mayor
mayor,
this
is
laurie
just
to
add
to
that,
and
lance
is
correct.
The
only
other
place
that
the
city
has
more
than
two
tennis
courts
and
you
always
have
to
have
at
least
three
tennis
courts
and
in
some
cases
you
have
to
have
four
or
five
ports
to
play
a
league
match.
We
do
have
lenovo,
which
is
the
only
four-court
complex
we
have
in
the
city,
that's
not
lighted,
but
everything
else.
We
have
has
lights
where
we
have
more
than
two
ports
and
could
play
those
league
matches.
H
So
we
we've
kind
of
tapped
out
on
all
of
those
spots
where
we,
where
we
are
and
I'd
like
to
also
thank
lance
and
daniel.
They
came
and
met
with
us
and
brought
some
of
their
their
their
teammates
other
folks,
their
members.
At
maybank.
We
tried
to
go
through
some
things
that
would
help
in
the
short
term.
I
hope
those
things
have
helped.
We've
started
allowing
maybank
members
to
play
at
charleston
tennis
center.
If
their
courts
are
booked
at
maybank
and
there's
open
courts
at
charleston
tennis
center,
they
can
go
over
there.
H
We're
going
to
look
at
how
we
limit
the
number
of
teams
and
kind
of
grandfather,
all
those
teams
in
so
that
we
don't
overburden
the
teams
that
are
playing
out
of
there.
But
but
it's
a
finite
amount
of
resources.
We
have
x
number
of
courts
and
those
are
available
x,
number
of
hours
and
once
you
program
those
out,
you
can't
do
anything
else,
but
I
do
appreciate
them
rallying
some
folks
and
instead
of
just
being
upset
coming
forth
and
saying,
hey,
we've
got
some
great
ideas
so
lance
and
daniel.
A
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I'm
not
a
member
of
this
committee,
but
I
I
looked
at
the
agenda.
I
want
to
just
add
my
support.
A
I've
been
approached
by
several
constituents
regarding
the
lack
of
lighting
at
maybank,
and
I've
talked
to
lucy
arbor
about
also
the
charleston
tennis
center
and
the
need
to
upgrade
the
the
lighting
system
over
over
there
and
she's.
She
and
I've
had
very
good
conversations
about
that
and
she
even
sent
her
a
proposal.
A
G
So
there
were
a
couple
locations,
one
on
the
greenway
and
one
over
lenovo
that
we
wanted
to
add
a
street
light
and
there
was
real,
far
distance
to
the
nearest
regular
electrical
service.
G
So
we
installed
some
solar
street
lights
and
they
worked
really
well
and
just
wondering,
particularly
since
most
of
the
play
time
I
guess
would
be
before
midnight-
I
mean
it's
not
like
they
need
to
shine
all
night
long.
Has
anybody
looked
in
some,
some
solar
lights
might
be
worth
exploring
because
the
installation
is
cheaper.
You
don't
you
don't
have
to
you.
Don't
have
to
wire
me.
H
Mayor
I'll
check
with
jason
and
make
sure
we
we
do
some
research
on
that,
I'm
not
aware
of
any
solar
lighting
that
would
get
you
to
the
amount
of
foot
candles.
You
need
to
play
tennis
safely
at
night
without
lighting,
but
we
can
definitely
check
into
that.
Maybe
maybe
that's
something.
That's
on
the
horizon,
so
we'll
check
that
out.
F
I
do
know
I
do
know
that
in
my
research
there
was
some
facilities
that
have
begun
to
do
that,
just
like
lori
said,
I'm
not
sure
about
the
capacity
of
that
and
the
lumens
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
create
whether
or
not
they
would
be
enough
through
my
research.
One
of
the
things
that
I
did
find
is
that
going
with
the
leds
is
cost
more
cost
effective
in
the
long
run
versus
what
we
have
been
currently
using,
which
are
the
lori.
What
are
those
called
now.
H
Lights
but
that's
not
a
technical
term
daniel,
so
they're,
the
old
ge
lights,
and
then
we
have
shoebox
lighting
in
some
of
the
other
places,
but
yeah
the
the
leds
are
really.
You
know
what
what
works
well
now.
I
know
the
folks
over
at
mount
pleasant,
the
town
of
mount
pleasant,
whipple
road,
just
installed
all
led
fixtures
at
their
whipple
road
facility
and
players
are
going
over
there
and
really
happy
with
that.
So
that's
what
we're
looking
at
for
future
lighting
would
be
getting
leds.
F
One
of
the
other
good
points
about
leds
is
you
don't
have
much
spill
over
into
the
neighborhood
that
most
of
the
lighting
is
concentrated
just
on
the
courts
and
that
many
people
that
could
be
across
the
street
versus
the
lights
that
we
have
now
they
spill
over
into
the
neighborhood.
These
leds
would
not.
C
Okay,
any
other
questions
well
daniel.
I
know
you
had
mentioned
that
some
some
matches
had
run
late.
Was
that
just
length
of
matches
was
it
weather?
Do
you
remember
when
you
say,
and
is
that
a
normal
thing
that
matches
will
run
over
during
that
tournament.
E
Well,
what
what
we
were
finding
was
that
we
have
a
lot
of
propensity
for
matches
running
later
and
causing
us
to
wait
an
hour
up
to
an
hour
hour
and
a
half
past
start
time,
particularly
for
the
7
30
matches,
because
we
have
a
six
o'clock
slot
in
a
7
30
slot,
so
any
of
the
six
o'clocks,
whether
it
be
for
traffic
or
just
match
time
it.
It
just
pushes
it
out
and-
and
that's
just
hard,
especially
for
all
these
other
constituents
that
are
driving
30
minutes
to
45
minutes
to
maybank.
E
H
Yeah
lance-
that
was
a
great
explanation,
come
forward.
They
play
the
women's
matches
in
the
fall
in
the
spring
at
six,
and
so,
if
there's
a
women's
match
in
front
of
the
men's
matches,
that
should
start
at
7
30
that
runs
long.
Those
fellas
are
just
waiting
on
that
court
to
open
and
when
you
only
have
eight
lighted
courts
at
maybank
and
two
of
them
are
being
used
for
instruction.
Those
six
courts
are
what
you're
waiting
on
to
get
on
so
they're,
just
pushing
them
back
right
now.
H
E
H
It's
still
six
o'clock
at
7,
30.
yeah,
so
I
mean
it's
a
little
better
in
mixed
season.
It
plays
a
little
faster,
but
yes,
we've
just
got
a
lot
of
people
playing
a
lot
of
teams
and
a
lot
of
age
groups
right
now,
which
is
a
great
problem
to
have
and
they're
just
stacked
up
on
those
courts
until
they're,
open.
C
Okay,
great
any
other
questions
before
we
move
on,
or
you
guys
have
anything
else
well
great.
C
You
a
lot
of
good
information.
Oh
councilman,
gregory.
A
H
Well,
it's
been
on
the
it's
been
on
the
unfunded
list
for
a
while
now,
council,
member
gregory,
and
it's
all
it's
a
part
of
the
master
plan
as
well.
It's
it's
noted
as
as
a
need,
so
it's
it's
clearly
already
there,
but
we
can
make
sure
that
it's
re-highlighted
when,
when
you
all,
are
going
through
the
budgeting
process
to
look
at
that
and
make
some
kind
of
priority
for
it.
C
All
right
well,
thank
you
all
very
much
appreciate
it
and
you
know,
as
the
mayor
announced
at
city
council
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
it
is
national
tennis
month
and
we
announced
that
as
a
national
tennis
month
in
the
city
of
charleston
as
well,
but
thank
you
guys
appreciate
the
update.
So
if
there's
nothing
else
there,
thank
you
so
much.
C
There's
nothing
else.
There
we'll
move
on
to
lori
with
an
aquatics
update.
H
Thank
you,
councilmember
sheila.
I
wanted
to
let
everybody
know
just
so.
If
there
was
any
questions,
I
could
try
to
get
anything
corrected
and
everybody
speaking
from
the
same
sheet
of
music.
So
if
you've
been
paying
attention,
not
only
is
the
city
having
trouble
finding
employees
and
everyone
else
in
the
world,
but
it's
especially
hit
our
aquatics
program
and
not
just
ours,
but
aquatic
programs
all
over
the
nation
there's
pools
in
arizona
that
are
not
even
going
to
be
open.
H
This
summer
I
actually
got
something
from
prc
last
weekend
that
they're
going
to
have
to
change
their
schedule
for
some
of
their
water
parks,
which,
as
you
know,
is
a
revenue
maker
so
they're
having
to
change
that
schedule
and
that
definitely
will
affect
the
revenue
they
bring
in,
what's
also
affecting
our
swimming
pools.
We've
closed
the
gap
in
the
last
week
on
on
our
seasonal
lifeguard
hiring
those
folks
are
just
going
through
the
last
parts
of
orientation.
Most
of
those
are
high
school
or
college
students.
H
So
we
won't
get
those
young
folks
to
us
until
after
memorial
day,
but
we
will
have
all
four
pools
open
on
memorial
day
weekend
for
family
and
rec
swim,
which
is
which
is
good,
we'll
be
able
to
meet
all
the
dhec
requirements
and
safely
be
open
and
we'll
we'll
we'll
have
pools
open.
And
then
we
will
open
all
four
pools
on
a
full
schedule,
starting
the
week
of
june
6th.
H
So
as
if
we
bring
in
those
those
seasonal
lifeguards
we'll
be
able
to
have
the
pools
open,
we'll
have
them
open
six
days
a
week
in
all
four
pools
and
we've
got
times
for
water,
fitness,
infrared
swim
and
for
lap
swim.
So
all
the
groups
that
are
out
there
will
have
opportunities
to
use
our
pools,
and
so
I
feel
good
about
that.
The
negative
we
have
is
that
we
have
not
got
enough
water
safety
instructors
on
our
staffing.
H
So
a
lifeguard
is
the
lowest
level
of
certification.
In
order
to
be
a
water
safety
instructor
and
teach
lessons
you
have
to
have
a
certification
above
that
lifeguard
status,
and
so
we
have
got
a
shortage
of
those
folks.
So
we
will
not
be
teaching
swim
lessons
this
summer
to
the
public.
We
did
not
hold
registration,
we
did
teach
in
the
spring
at
mlk
and
we'll
be
back
teaching.
H
We
hope
in
the
fall,
but
the
summer
months
it's
going
to
deplete
us
just
to
be
open
six
days
a
week
from
early
in
the
morning
till
evening
for
families
to
use
for
a
safe
swim
and
to
bring
children
to
and
for
seniors
to
exercise
in.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
shared
that
scheduling
with
you
all
in
case
you've
heard
many
of
your
constituents.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
ready
to
get
back
to
w
stephens,
I'm
anxious
to
get
that
pool
back
open
as
well.
H
It's
it's
a
beautiful
pool
and
now
that
it's
been
renovated,
it's
it's
a
great
resource,
but
we
have
not
had
the
staff
to
have
it
open
and
rather
than
go
to
a
daily
schedule
where
we've
had
to
say
we're
closed,
we're
open,
we're
closed,
we're
open,
we've
just
closed
that
pool
until
and
we're
only
swimming
out
of
mlk
until
memorial
day.
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
Our
new
schedule
will
be
on
our
website
for
starting
memorial
day
weekend
and
please
encourage
folks
to
come
out
and
use
a
pool.
H
D
H
Well,
you
know
we
we
started
in
january
trying
to
hire
for
the
summer,
and
I
appreciate
that
offer
we've
been
to
all
the
schools.
I
was
over
at
james
on
charter
high
school
last
week
and
saw
our
flyers
hanging
on
the
wall.
H
We've
been
to
burke,
we've
tried
to
get
the
word
out
through
the
neighborhood
associations,
but
you've
got
to
be
at
least
16
years
old
and
you've
got
to
have
some
some
level
of
swimming
ability,
and
then
we
will
actually
do
the
training,
if
you're,
if
you're,
able
to
meet
the
qualifications
and
we're
doing
a
200
sign-on
bonus
for
anybody.
H
That'll
come
work
for
us
this
summer,
so
I
mean
we
have
really
been
trying
to
offer
everything
we
can
do,
I'm
so
thankful
to
our
hr
and
to
our
finance
folks
who
have
given
us
the
ability
to
do
that,
because
this
is
the
one
position
in
recreation
that
I
can't
fudge
the
numbers
dx
says:
if
you've
got
51
people
swimming
in
mlk
pool,
you
have
to
have
six
lifeguards
on
the
deck.
Well,
six
lifeguards,
sometimes
being
open
from
5
30
in
the
morning
until
8
o'clock
at
night.
H
Six
days
a
week,
yeah
there
aren't
enough,
we
just
don't
have
enough
so,
but
but
yes,
I
will
certainly
do
that.
Anyone
that
knows
anyone
it's
not
too
late.
If
someone
still
wants
to
get
certification
or
they've
lifeguarded
before
they're
looking
for
a
summer
job,
please
send
them
to
our
website.
We
are
we're
anxious
to
fill
as
many
positions
as
we
can.
I
don't
want
to
turn
away
people
this
summer.
I
want
our
pools
open,
but
I
also
know
that
it's
my
responsibility
that
they're
safe.
H
So
if
you,
if
you're
a
swimmer,
counselor,
that's
a
great
question,
if
you're
a
swimmer
and
can
can
pass
the
basic
swimming
portions
of
it
swimming,
I
think
it's
300
meters
and
being
able
to
lift
the
brick
out
of
the
deep
end
and
pull
it
up.
If
you
can
physically
do
those
things,
then
the
water,
the
training
part,
the
online
part
and
the
training
part
on
deck
it
takes
a
weekend.
So
I
mean
it
really
can
be
done.
H
If
you
don't
have
the
swimming
skills,
it's
going
to
be,
you
know
very
difficult,
but
but
if
you
can
do
those
swimming
things,
so
sometimes
we
get
swimmers
from
prc.
A
lot
of
those
young
folks
want
to
go,
be
beach
guards.
Well,
a
beach
lifeguard
has
to
be
able
to
run
a
mile
in
six
minutes
and
they
get
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
great
swimmers
that
are
great
lifeguards,
but
they
can't
beat
that
they
can't
run
a
mile
in
under
six
minutes.
H
So
what
we
do
find,
some
of
them,
so
we've
been
talking
to
them
to
make
sure
anybody
that
they
they
don't
have
that
meets
their
open
water
regulations
that
they
they
contact
us.
So
we're
kind
of
been
talking
to
all
the
folks
around
us
all
the
pools
north
charleston
prc,
saint
andrews.
Anybody
like
mount
pleasant
if
anybody's
got
lifeguards
and
they're
looking
for
a
second
job.
Well,
you
know:
we've
got
ships
available,
so
we're
very
open
to
that.
H
Absolutely
you're
paid
for
your
training
we
paid
for
the
training.
It
usually
is.
You
know
back
in
the
old
days
before
covet,
you
actually
paid
to
take
the
lifeguard
certification,
and
then
we
hired
you,
but
now
we
will
pay
you
to
do
the
certification
and
we'll
give
you
a
sign-on
bonus
if
you
sign
on
with
us,
so
there's
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
incentive
out
there
for
someone,
that's
looking
for
a
summer
job.
D
H
Our
website's
got
job
listings
on
there.
We
can.
We
can
move
them
on
through
as
quickly
as
possible.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair
lori.
Do
you
see
this?
I
know
it's
a
national
problem
and
I
know
I
mean
but
again
so
it's
not
just
pay
because
I
think
you
said
at
the
last
meeting.
Pay
is
pretty
good
for
this
and
paid
training
and
all
of
that,
but
I
guess
just
moving
forward
again.
This
is
just
something
we
continuously
see
in
the
city
of
charleston,
but
is
this?
Do
you
think
going
to
be
a
continuous
problem?
Is
it
still
just
private
sector
is
just
paying
more?
Is
that
just
the
answer.
H
Gosh
councilmember
parker,
you
think
I'm
smarter
than
I
am.
Thank
you.
Here's
my
theory
take
it
for
what
it's
worth.
I
think
that
two
years
of
co-bed
and
not
doing
any
lifeguard
certification
classes
has
put
all
of
us
behind
the
eight
ball.
I
think
that
there
are
a
lot
of
young
people
that
used
to
work
in
jobs
at
summer
camps
at
swimming
pools
at
you
know,
you
name
it.
The
golf
course
all
those
kind
of
places
that
when
I
was
a
young
person
growing
up,
that
was
the
job
you
wanted.
H
But
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
this
city
and
our
hr
department
is
going
to
have
to
help
us
do.
Is
we're
going
to
have
to
really
go
out
and
target
a
new
group
of
public
servants,
folks
that
that
want
to
come
in
and
work
in
the
public
sector
that
understand
how
important
it
is
to
be
here
for
for
providing
services
to
be
firefighters
and
first
responders
into
you,
know
all
those
kinds
of
things
that
we
all
do
there
used
to
be
a
lot
of
folks
kind
of
clamoring?
H
For
that
and
it's
it's
not
the
same
now,
so
we've
really
just
got
to
go.
Do
that
and
the
more
we
can
make
the
jobs
attractive
and
pay.
I
think
that
helps
you
would
think.
14.50
an
hour
will
be
enough
to
turn
somebody's
head,
but
it's
not
always
I
mean
we've
had
people
leave
us
for
20
cents
an
hour
more
to
go
lifeguard
in
another
community.
So
you
know
it's
just
one
of
those
things.
H
Yes,
if
we
can
make
the
job
a
great
experience,
I
think
that
helps
people
that
are
happy
will
stay
where
they
are,
but
I
think
it's
just
a
lot
of
things
going
on
and
you
know
I
I
I
hope
it's
going
to
improve.
I
hope
we
don't
face
this
forever.
We're
certainly
going
to
try
to
teach
as
many
lifeguard
classes
as
we
can.
It
would
be
great
to
get
kids
back
in
school
swimming
again
through
life
through
lessons,
so
burke
used
to
come
and
do
like
swim
lessons
with
us
before
coved.
H
They
haven't
done
it
since,
but
we
used
to
always
hire
several
of
those
high
school
juniors
and
seniors
to
come
work
at
our
pools.
It
was
great
they
lived
in
the
community,
they
come
work
at
the
pools,
but
but
burke's
not
been
able
to
do
that.
Sanders
clyde's
not
been
able
to
come
over
the
laps.
If
you
don't
have
five-year-olds
swimming
they're,
not
going
to
be
swimmers
when
they're
15..
So
a
lot
of
things.
B
B
A
really
disappointing
thing
to
see
I
mean
charleston
is
surrounded
by
water.
This
was
something
that
I
brought
up
in
our
commission
on
women's
meeting,
because
a
lot
of
the
moms
in
the
area
I
mean
there
just
are
not
affordable,
swim
lessons.
You
know
we
as
a
city
are
what
you
know.
We
provide
that
so
not
having
swim.
Lessons
is
it
I
think
it's
it
hurts.
You
know
the
young
kids
in
this
city.
H
So
I
understand
I'm
disappointed
too
it
I
pulled
into
james
on
rec
center
saturday
morning
for
the
gymnastics
recital
it
kind
of
broke
my
heart
to
see
the
sign
up
too,
and
I
knew
the
sun
was
there
because
I
said
put
it
out,
but
but
it
is
what
it
is
and
so
how
we
move
past
this
trying
to
get
some
swim
lessons
going
back
in
the
fall,
the
families
that
have
opportunities
and
can
make
choices.
There
are
private
places
they
can
go
to
get
swimming
lessons.
H
It
is
the
families
that
depend
on
us
that
that
economically
and
affordability
and
proximity
depend
on
us
to
be
there.
They're,
the
families
that
are
going
to
miss
out
on
those
swim
lessons,
and
so
those
are
the
ones
that
really
break
my
heart.
It
absolutely
does
so
anyway,
it's
nothing
I'm
happy
about.
H
I
I'm
not
resigned
to
it
and
just
saying
hey
whatever
I
mean,
I'm
very
foreign
about
it
too,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
I
need
to
make
sure
pools
are
open
because
some
people
don't
have
air
conditioning
people,
don't
have
money
to
go
away
for
the
weekend
or
even
go
to
the
beach.
So
we
need
to
be
open
and
that's
the
one
mission
I'm
keeping
out
there.
B
H
I
have
re,
we
have
gone
every
direction
and
the
mayor
has
really
kind
of
given
hr
the
green
light
to
go.
We've
had
we've
had
job
fairs
at
the
city,
we've
gone
to
job
fairs,
we've
reached
out
to
neighborhoods
we've
reached
out
to
churches.
I
have
personal
friends
that
teach
at
the
college
of
charleston
and
at
the
citadel
I've
reached
out
to
all
of
them.
I'm
going
to
talk
to
classes.
H
I
mean
I've
tried
to
do
it
in
the
traditional
way
that
we
always
find
our
employees,
but
you
have
in
order
to
be
a
water
safety
instructor.
You
have
to
be
a
lifeguard
and
then
you
have
to
have
additional
training
for
water
safety
instruction.
So
if
we
have
a
wsi,
they
can
lifeguard
and
teach
classes.
If
we
have
a
lifeguard,
the
only
thing
they
can
do
is
be
in
the
chair
and
lifeguard
course.
They
can't
teach
certified
classes,
so
we
don't
have
enough
hands
on
deck
to
teach
classes.
H
B
H
A
water
safety,
instructor
training
and
that's
an
additional
training
that
requires
more
time
and
more
ability.
So
you're,
not
only
just
on
the
stand
scanning
for
someone
you
have
to
be
able
to
teach
the
strokes,
you
have
to
be
able
to
teach
water
safety,
you
have
to
be
in
the
water
teaching
and
not
everyone
is
a
teacher.
H
Being
a
teacher
is
a
special
skill.
So
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
good
lifeguards,
don't
make
good
instructors.
H
I
don't
know
it's
longer
than
one
it's
longer
than
a
weekend,
though
I
can
tell
you
that
we
we
we've
not
even
had
anyone
come
through
as
a
light
certified
lifeguard
asking
for
that
class.
So
there's
a
step
one
and
we're
not
even
through
step
one
all
the
way
to
get
to
step
two,
but
we
do.
We
do
have
instructors
two
instructors
on
our
staff
that
can
teach
water
safety
instruction,
but
I
don't
have
any
anyone
in
our
system
that
currently
is
eligible
to
go
to
that
training.
H
Pass
the
lifeguard
training
and
then
you
have
to
go,
get
the
the
second
part
of
that
training
and
it
is
a
lot
harder.
There's
a
lot
more
rescue
things
that
are
involved
in
that
there's,
there's
more
medical
and
first
aid
and
those
kind
of
things.
It's
a
it's
a
much
more
difficult
certification
to
happen.
Just
the
lifeguarding
and
what's.
B
H
H
H
So
that's
a
that's
a
great
question
and
I
can't
answer
their
total
day
of
how
they
set
up.
You
can
close
sections
of
your
pool
and
keep
other
sections
open
and
reduce
your
number
of
lifeguards,
so
I
don't
know
exactly
how
many
hours
a
day
they're
running
them.
What
I
can
tell
you,
though,
is
they
are
paying
more
than
we
are,
and
it's
not
a
lot
more
but
again,
we've
had
a
couple
of
people
leave
a
system
in
the
last
month
or
two
over
an
additional
20
cents
an
hour.
H
So
about
the
same
time,
we
got
ourselves
to
almost
that
15
part
north
charleston
and
mount
pleasant
jumped
over
it
and
did
a
little
more
so
they
do
pay
a
little
more
an
hour.
You
know
it's
a
brand
new
facility
and
and
sometimes
young
folks
like
to
work
at
brand
new
places,
and
you
know
and
all
those
kind
of
things,
so
you
know,
I
think
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
things,
but
that's
actually
a
great
question
is
what
happens
when
a
big
place
like
that
comes
in?
B
Just
mr
mayor,
what
do
you
think
about
you
know
seeing
the
signs
on
our
recreation
buildings?
You
know
once
again
limiting
limiting
another
city-wide
service.
I
mean
what
are
your
thoughts.
B
G
B
G
Yeah,
well,
you
know,
I
think,
we've
had
a
real
challenge
as
laurie
just
went
to
great
length
to
explain
and
you
got
to
make
some
some
choices
to
keep
the
pools
open.
I
would
suggest
we
do
everything
to
partner
with
some
other
organizations
that
I
know
laurie
didn't.
We
have
a
partnership.
What
was
the
name
of
that
non-profit,
the
sharks
or
the
they
did
training
and
title
one
schools?
Could
we
not
partner
with
someone
like
that
to
kind
of
pick
up
the
pieces
here,
y'all
parker.
H
So
mayor
that
was
the
lapse
program
that
you're
talking
about.
Then
they
were
working
in
title
one
school
specifically.
They
were
working
with
meeting
street
academy
and
sanders
clyde
down
here
in
our
area.
They
have
not
been
in
school
since
covet,
so
they
have
not
been
able
to
get
back
into
the
schools
and
do
those
things
I
did
reach
out
to
shannon
o'brien,
who
is
no
longer
the
executive
director
of
lapse,
but
I
reached
out
trying
to
find
any
of
her
folks
that
were
looking
for
summer
employment.
H
She
gave
me
the
list
and
we
did.
We
did
reach
out
to
all
those
folks.
So
we
we
have
tried
that
route.
We've
tried
our
swim
team.
We've
actually
got
a
few
members
of
our
swim
team
that
are
over
the
16
or
over
that
have
agreed
to
come
work
for
us,
this
summer's
lifeguard.
So
that's
helped
so
we're
we're
trying
those
avenues
as
well.
G
What
about
our
friends,
I
know
they
don't
have
a
facility
in
the
city
of
charleston.
I'd
still
hope
they
will
one
day
they
up
in
berkeley
county,
the
ymca.
H
We
can
we
can
reach
out
to
the
ymca
sir.
I
can
definitely
do
that.
You
know
the
ymca
is
a
different
kind
of
pup
pull
than
a
public
pool,
so
their
lifeguard
requirements
are
a
little
different,
their
swim.
Lessons
folks,
are
the
same
though
I
can
reach
out
to
see
if
they've
got
anyone
that
they
they
would
be
willing
to.
Let
us
get
some
information
in
front
of.
I
will
certainly
do
that.
G
But
we
could
almost
you
know,
let
them
provide
the
program
and
just
give
them
a
certain
space
a
certain
time
if
anybody
has
any
suggestions,
the
drawing
board's
open
here
we're
trying
to
figure
this
out.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
we
still
have
the
partnership
with
burke
high
school
laurie
and-
and
if
so,
is
that
yielding
any
potential.
H
Thank
you
it.
You
know
it
hasn't
in
the
past
councilmember
gregory,
but
we
have
not
had
burke
because
of
coved
burke
and
the
schools
have
not
been
in
the
water
at
all.
So
you
know
we
have
found
the
last
the
last
couple
of
times.
We
taught
that
working
real
closely
with
our
friends
at
burke.
We've
hired
some
folks
right
there
at
herbert
hazel,
but
that's
we
have
not
had
that
relationship
because
of
cobed,
so
maybe
as
soon
as
that
all
goes
away,
we'll
get
more
kids
from
school
back
in
our
pools.
D
Thank
you
chair.
I
just
I
guess
I
wanted
to
provide
with
councilwoman
parker's
question.
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
understand.
This
is
not
a
park
and
rack
issue.
D
D
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
we're
all
aware
that
this
this
is
an
economy
shift
like
our
economy,
has
changed
drastically
over
the
past
year.
I
don't
see
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
lori.
I
can
tell
you
from
from
my
team
right
now.
You
know
in
terms
of
hiring
for
summer
camps
we're
having
a
very
difficult
time
hiring
for
summer
camps
and
council
councilman
parker
we've
had
to
make
tough
decisions
to
limit
the
number
of
camps,
because
we
can't
find
the
right
staff
the
number
of
staff
in
previous
years.
D
So
I
think
I
say
all
this
to
say
that
you
know
I
think
to
lori's
point.
We
need
a
new
approach
on
what
we
call
the
school
district,
temporary
hourly
employees
and
how
to
recruit
them.
So
I
think
this
is
a
discussion
for
the
hr
subcommittee.
I
think
you
need
a
separate
strategy
on
how
to
recruit
these
folks
and
then
b
when
budget
time
comes
around
folks.
D
I
think
we
need
to
have
a
honest
discussion
about
making
sure
that
we're
paying
competitive
wages,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
councilman
parker's
absolutely
right.
Our
constituents
don't
know
when
they
see
a
closed
sign.
They
just
get
mad.
Why
is
this
not?
Why
is
this
not
being
offered?
And
they
don't
understand
all
the
nuance
of
these
conversations?
D
So
when
it
comes
down
for
budget
time,
I
would
encourage
all
of
us
to
to
dig
down
and
and
ask
those
questions
for
our
part-time,
temporary
employees.
If
we're
giving
them
the
boost
that
we
need.
So
we
can
be
competitive
with
chick-fil-a
and
walmart
and
target,
because
I
can
tell
you
right
now:
14
bucks,
an
hour
ain't
cutting
the
mustard
when
they
can
go
work
when
they
can
go
work
for
uber
eats
and
not
have
to
have
lori
bugging
them.
Every
day,
so,
thank
you.
C
H
Most
of
those
are
going
to
be
younger
kids
that
only
swim
in
the
summer
and
and
coach,
michael
and
his
staff
have
done
a
really
good
job
with
our
smart
team
with
the
older
group
that
we
could
do
that,
but
we
can
certainly
keep
pushing
the
message
out.
I
mean,
if
I
don't
hire
people
to
later
in
june,
and
we
can
do
something
at
the
end
of
the
summer.
H
I
mean
I'm
I'm
happy
to
pivot
that
late
as
well,
but
I
just
knew
that
we
were
not
in
position
to
have
families
looking
for
us
for
that
program,
beginning
in
june,
like
they
wanted
it.
Okay,.
B
Really
important
that
you
know
this,
this
is
once
again
just
it
sort
of
seems,
like
a
city
service,
that
you
know
it's
the
elephant
in
the
room.
We
all
know
the
economy
is
bad
and
everything's
changing
in
the
job
market,
but
I
this
is
why
we
have
to
keep
having
the
discussion
and
make
sure
that
it's
you
know
put
as
a
priority
because,
like
council
member
sacrament
said
I
mean
those
are
just
the
calls
that
we
get
all
the
time
our
taxes
are
the
same,
but
our
services
are
going
down.
B
H
Thank
you.
That's
that's
one
of
the
reasons
councilmember
parker
that
I
wanted
to
share
this
update.
I
asked
councilman
shilling
to
put
it
on
the
agenda,
not
because
I
wanted
to
have
this
conversation
or
I
wanted
to
drag
you
all
through
it.
I
just
thought
it
was
important
that
you
understood
it
all
and
could
ask
me
questions
because
I
have.
I
have
wrestled
with
this
and
and
tossed
and
turned
at
night
trying
to
figure
out
some
other
way.
H
I've
reached
out
to
other
rec
directors
in
our
area
and
across
the
state
and
other
places,
and
what
are
y'all
doing.
How
are
you
doing
it?
You
know
there's
been
some
conversations
about
the
privatization
of
swim
lessons,
but
again
I
think
that's
going
to
get
back
to
the
economy.
If
we
privatize
swim
lessons
and
it
costs
more
money
to
do
it,
it's
just
going
to
cost
the
community
more
to
take
those
lessons
and
then
we're
still
leaving
behind
those
those
people
that
need
us
the
most
and
families
that
are
having
to
make
choices.
H
D
C
I
Good
afternoon
everybody
I'm
just
going
to
jump
in
here
and
lori
can
pitch
in
if
she
feels
like
I've
missed
anything,
but
so
chairman
sheila
asked
us
to
provide
an
update
on
the
parks
and
rec
master
plan.
So
what
I
wanted
to
do
was
give
you
just
a
real
brief
recap
on
the
plan
itself.
I
The
plan
here
was
adopted
by
city
council
last
year.
It's
a
very
long
plan,
lots
of
good
information
in
it,
so
real.
So
a
couple
points
I
wanted
to
make.
We've
con,
we
conducted
in-person
engagement
in
19
different
locations
around
the
city.
We
met
with
stakeholder
groups
like
the
tennis
group
that
you
heard
earlier.
I
We
had
over
2400
responses
through
web
surveys
and
also
did
a
mind
mixer
engagement
platform
online,
so
that
we
got
really
good
feedback
from
the
communities
in
in
a
very
difficult
time
as
we
were
conducting
this
during
covid.
I
So
the
team
also
prepared
a
social
needs
and
conditions
index,
which
is
a
mapping
based
on
census,
tract
of
10
socioeconomic
and
demographic
neighborhood
characteristics
which
highlighted
areas
of
the
city.
That
would
benefit
from
public
services
and
programs,
so
that
includes
a
long
list
of
items,
but
includes
parks,
so
that
that
social
needs
and
conditioning
index
identified
areas
in
the
city
that
we
should
focus
our
work
on.
I
So
the
plan
took
that
all
of
that
information
and
mapped
out
needs
of
the
city
over
the
next
10
years,
based
on
those
population
projections,
as
well
as
what
our
facilities
need
from
a
deferred
maintenance
point
of
view.
So
we've
got
all
of
that
information
and
and
what
what
we're
planning
on
doing
now
and
and
we've
already.
I
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
reengage
the
consultant
team
and
work
with
them
to
come
up
with
a
number
of
different
recommendations
on
how
we
can
start
the
implementation
phase
of
the
master
plan
and
how
much
it
would
cost.
And
then
we
can
work
with
the
mayor
and
amy
and
and
city
council
to
figure
out
a
way
to
fund
all
of
all
of
that
work.
I
It
will
be
a
series
of
options,
it'll
be
the
big
wish
list
and
then
it'll
probably
be
something
that
we
think
that
we
can
get
accomplished
in
the
next
five
seven
to
ten
years,
because
you
know,
although
the
list
is
rather
long
and
comprehensive,
there's
only
so
much
work.
We
can
actually
get
done.
I
So
that's
the
big
picture
of
where
we
are
laurie
and
I
are
going
to
re-engage
with
tom
o'rourke
and
then
in
the
next
month
or
two
we'll
bring
back
to
you
all
a
list
of
projects
and
and
determine
a
way
forward.
D
Safran,
thank
you
chair,
I
guess
jason
or
the
mayor.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
potentially
floating
that
referendum
bond
referendum
at
some
point
in
the
future.
G
We've
discussed
that
councilmember.
You
know
this
council
can
actually
approve
a
bond
without
having
to
wait
for
a
referendum
kind.
C
G
G
Was
was
right
before
the
election
and
the
thought
was
we
had
a
referendum
to
to
ask
our
citizens.
Approval
to
you
know,
take
on
some
additional
bond
indebtedness,
which
means
they'd
have
to
approve
a
couple
of
mills
in
order
to
pay
pay
it
back.
We
thought
we
had
timing
to
do
that,
but
but
the
council
did
not
approve
it
at
that
time.
G
So
so
we
can
go
back
it'll,
be
you
know,
a
year
from
november,
before
we
have
a
municipal
election,
I
had
asked
julia
to
see,
ask
the
question
as
to
whether
we
could
put
a
municipal
referendum
on
the
general
election
when
it's
not
our
year,
but
I
think
that's
way
too
complicated,
so
that's
one
option,
but
that
that's
a
whole
nother
year
plus
from
now
I
mean
the
other,
the
other
option.
G
If,
if
it's
the
will
of
council
to
to
commit
the
millage
and
and
and
do
the
bond,
we
can
vote
on
that.
D
We
could
vote
on
sorry
mayor,
so
we
could.
We
could
potentially
take
action
and
vote
on
that
now,
with
with
the
understanding
that
we
would
initiate
that
bond,
put
it
on
the
the
ref
put
it
on
the
the
ballot
in
two
years
from
now.
Is
that
what
is
that.
G
No,
I'm
saying
you
don't
even
have
to
put
it
on
sorry,
you
don't
even
have
to
put
it
on
the
balance.
I
mean
it's
a
good
thing
to
do
to
get
community
support,
but
if
you
all
believe
your
constituents
really
would
like
to
see
that
and
see
these
improvements
and
see
these
park
facilities
added,
you
know
we
can
take
that
action,
we
don't.
We
don't
have
to
have
a
referendum.
B
G
It
wouldn't
be
this
year
be
to
get
on
the
referendum
next
year.
I'd
I'd
have
to
get
legal
to
verify
for
me,
but
it's
something
like
summer.
If
I
remember
correct
like
august
before
the
november,
does
that.
B
B
Okay,
but
were
you
telling
me
before
city
council
wise,
I
mean?
Is
there
another
dead,
something
you
had
mentioned
something
like
a
year
like
we
have
to
get
things
like
that
ahead.
You
know
maybe
out
to
the
public,
but
no
just
90
days
is
the
rule
for
the
county.
Yes,
for
referendum
questions,
they
require
to
get
the
language
90
days
out
to
have
it
on
the
ballot
in
november,
23rd,
correct.
A
But
there
are
a
number
of
others,
but
I'm
just
saying
that
you
have
to
look
at
the
totality
of
circumstances
to
me
before
we
make
any
determination
with
regard
to
a
referendum
on
any
budgetary
matter.
Actually.
D
Sacrament,
thank
you
chair,
so
council
mcgregor
see
basically
you're
saying
you
know
turn
we
would
have
to
weigh
the
options
of
of
what
a
rep
referendum
on
on
some
of
these
wreck
projects
versus
a
referendum
on
affordable
housing.
It
could
be
exactly.
I
got
you
you're
right,
absolutely
right.
I
just
wanted
to
know
what
the
timeline
was
in
terms
of
trying
to
get
something
on
the
belt
or,
if
we
even
need
to
needed
to
it,
sounds
like
we
don't
even
need
to
to
do
that.
C
Any
other
questions
or
comments,
we'll
cite
them
well,
we'll
look
forward
to
having
tom
speak
with
us
soon.
I
guess
at
an
upcoming
meeting
and
and
chat
with
us
a
little
more
on
some
some
priorities
and
a
list.
I
guess
jason
is
the
next
step,
and
am
I
correct
on
that.
I
Yeah,
so
we
we
would
come
back
to
the
rec
committee
or
you
know,
council
could
do
a
full
workshop
and
and
come
up
with
a
list
of
projects
based
on
the
recommendations
of
the
master
plan
that
the
the
biggest
thing
is.
What
can
we
get
done
in
five,
seven
or
ten
years?
You
know
our
projects.
Take
you
know,
just
if
you
look
at
fire
stations
it
it
takes
a
while
to
get
a
fire
station
funded
and
land
purchased
and
the
project
built.
So
that's
just
the
latest
so
yeah.
I
But
we
know
that
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
get
that
much
work
done
so
we'd
have
to
kind
of
figure
out.
You
know
what
can
we
get
done,
based
on
how
many
people
we
have
looking
at
the
future
of
our
public
safety
facilities?
The
work
we've
prioritized
over
there
and
figure
out
how
to
spread
the
wealth.
C
H
Get
an
update
on
that
sure,
so
you
know
a
couple
of
the
things
that
we
were
going
ahead
and
trying
to
do
the
low-hanging
fruit,
as
you
will
from
the
master
plan.
One
of
them
was
to
go
ahead
and
establish
that
enterprise
manager
position
hr
worked
with
me
and
we
were
able
to
set
up
a
a
job
description
and
a
pay
classification
and
we've
we've
gone
through
that
process.
Over
the
last
couple
of
months.
H
H
So
if
the
person
that
wasn't
our
first
candidate
and
tom
o'rourke
did
sit
in
on
those
interviews
with
me,
but
if
that
person
does
accept
the
position
they
are
not
local,
so
I
think
there'd
be
a
little
bit
of
a
lag
time
in
getting
them
on
sometime
in
the
summer,
but
but
we
have
moved
in
that
direction.
We
have
offered
the
position.
I
was
hoping
I'd
have
an
update
for
you
more
than
that
today,
but
I'm
still
awaiting
that
decision.
C
H
C
All
right
any
other
questions
on
that
all
right,
well,
very
good,
then
some
updates
on
some
of
our
our
parks.
If,
if
jason
will
take
that,
I
appreciate.
I
It
sure
so
car
richardson
park
over
on
bender
street
the
work
is
progressing,
had
some
challenges
with
every
other
construction
project
in
in
the
region.
Recently,
the
work
is
is
looking
great
exterior,
building
work
progresses.
The
decking
is
all
about
85,
complete
interior,
the
wood
ceilings.
Complete
plumbing,
is
nearing
completion
and
getting
ready
for
some
pre-install
for
the
drywall,
so
should
be
covering
up
the
interior
walls
here
pretty
quickly
site
work
is
well
underway.
I
Landscape
submittals
have
been
received,
parking
lot,
works
about
90,
complete,
curbing
sidewalks
and
other
hardscape
areas
about
95
complete
and
the
playground
has
been
installed.
Believe
it
or
not.
The
contractor
was
given
42
rain
days.
Of
course,
that
hadn't
happened
in
the
past
couple
months,
and
so
there
there's
a
new
substantial
completion
and
we
don't
think
they're
going
to
make
it
they're
being
a
little
more
optimistic
than
our
our
design
team
is
so
we're
looking
probably
july,
beginning
of
august
to
get
that
park
opened
up.
C
C
A
Yeah
I
was
over
there
also,
and
I
think
it
is
an
unbelievable
part,
just
in
terms
of
design
the
views
and
the
vistas.
I
just
think
it's
probably
one
of
our
best
parks.
Once
it's
completed
jason,
you
guys
are
you
know
in
capital
projects
you
you
to
be
applauded.
I
I
just
think
that
that's
a
phenomenal
phenomenal
park
and
everybody
on
recreation
at
some
point
really
needs
to
go
over
there
and
and
take
a
look
at
it.
They're
doing
a
great
job.
D
Yes,
thanks
jason.
I
think
I
share
it.
I
think
a
little
bit,
I
know
councilman
waring
and
is
over
there
as
well,
but
anyways
jason
thanks
for
for
the
work
on
on
the
project.
I
know
we
went
over
there
early
on
and
if
you
could
just
can
you
just
share
with
the
rest
of
of
council?
Remember
there
was
a
fraternity
there
that
we're
going
to
name
and
have
a
plaque
up.
How
can
you
just
give
us
an
update
on
the
progress
of
that
yeah.
I
So
the
there's
a
there's,
I
think
it's
the
alpha
cyan
alpha
five
omega.
Is
that
correct?
There's
a
there's,
a
group
q.
I
There's
a
group
of
members
of
that
fraternity
that
would
like
to
put
up
put
put
up
a
statue
of
of
dr
just
dr
just
grew
up
in
the
neighborhood
and
if
you
don't
know
his
story,
it's
it's
a
pretty
fantastic
story
and
the
guy
he's
a
just
an
incredible
guy.
I
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
up,
dr
just
if
you
haven't
and
we're
also
working
with
the
neighborhood
association
on
some
historic
interpretation
of
important
people
from
the
neighborhood
and
again,
it's
amazing,
the
number
of
folks
that
came
from
this
area
and
the
accomplishments
that
that
they
have
made
historically,
so
they
have
put
together
lots
of
historical
information.
They've
brought
it
to
the
history
commission.
It
was
not
part
of
our
our
original
project
budget.
I
So
once
we
get
to
the
end
of
the
project,
we'll
we'll
work
with
them
and
figure
out
how
we
can
get
some
of
this
interpretation
of
the
neighborhood
completed
and
then
printed
so
we
can
display
that
in
the
park
or
in
the
building.
C
I
I
agree
with
councilman
gregory
and
that's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
just
gorgeous.
I
mean
looking
out
seeing
the
citadel
in
downtown
across
the
river
and
then
looking
the
other
directions,
seeing
charlestown
land,
and
I
mean
it
just
couldn't
be
a
better
spot.
It's
going
to
be
gorgeous
it's
going
to
be
awesome.
C
H
I
knew
you
were
going
to
get
tired
of
talking
on
that
question,
so
some
of
this
has
already
been
kind
of
vetted
out
at
the
staff
level,
between
jason
and
I
as
to
what's
going
to
what
that
building's
going
to
look
like
and
how
it's
going
to
be.
At
this
point,
we
envisioned
it
being
a
event
space
where
someone
would
reserve
it
for
some
kind
of
event,
whether
it
be
a
birthday
party
or
you
know,
anniversary,
or
something
like
that.
H
Obviously
you
could
have
meetings
there.
It
could
be
a
very
nice
venue
for
that,
but
there's
no
staffing
that
have
been
budgeted
with
this
facility.
So
if
we
did
try
to
do
anything
to
the
building
to
make
it
more
useful,
we'd
have
to
add
staff,
I
don't
have
existing
staff
that
can
do
that.
We
haven't
added
staff
dollars
to
the
to
the
cleanup
or
anything
like
that.
So
we'd
have
to
look
at
it
that
way,
but
I
think
the
investment
was.
H
H
C
I
So
fort
pemberton
update
fort
pemberton,
as
most
of
you
know,
is
our
greenbelt
purchase.
It's
over.
In
riverland
terrace,
we
held
a
community
meeting
drop-in
style
on
march
21st
we
advertised
at
via
u.s
mail
and
social
media
and
the
neighborhood
association
we
had
over
a
hundred
people
attend,
which
was
really
nice.
We
set
up
four
stations
throughout
the
six
and
a
half
acres
with
it
with
a
staff
person
at
each
station
we
had
a
welcome
station.
I
Really
it's
a
passive
park
with
maybe
a
few
small
parking
areas,
historic
interpretation,
picnic,
shelters,
open
field
and,
most
importantly,
that
that
waterfront
access
all
of
that
engagement,
everybody
was
really
positive
about
the
project
and
it
all
supported
that
lwcf
grant
that
that
you
that
city
council
approved
a
couple
months
ago.
I
So
we
hope
to
hear
back
from
lwcf
in
july
august
to
hear
how
we
ranked
with
that
application.
Hopefully
we'll
get
the
grant
which
would
it
was
a
260
thousand
dollar
grant
50
match
by
the
greenbelt
funding
that
we
have
available
already
for
minor
improvements
that
are
allowed
by
the
greenbelt.
So
hopefully,
in
july
or
august,
we'll
hear
back
positively
from
lwcf
and
we'll
bring
you
back
a
a
grant
acceptance
award
fingers
crossed.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
the
big
picture
on
pemberton
any
questions
on
that.
One.
I
I
The
new
plumbing
service
has
been
completed
with
and
that
was
conducted
by
charleston
county
school
district.
It
wasn't
part
of
our
current
mou,
but
but
they
knew
we
had
an
issue
and
they
had
an
easy
or
affordable
way
to
fix
it,
so
they
jumped
in
and
had
their
contractors
fix
the
the
new
water
service.
I
The
parking
lot
and
entry
plaza
are
scheduled
for
completion
at
the
end
of
this
quarter.
So
we're
we're
looking
forward
to
getting
that
all
buttoned
up
we're
still
working
on
a
small
hiccup
with
the
army
corps
of
engineers
and
the
landfill
cap
from
the
former
landfill,
which
is
everybody
knows
that
there
used
to
be
marsh.
There's
a
1971
agreement.
That
said,
we
had
to
maintain
the
landfill
cap.
I
We
didn't
know
about
the
1971
agreement
until
the
army
corps
looked
out
their
window
and
wondered
what
work
we
were
doing
there
after.
We
had
already
completed
a
bunch
of
work
out
there
with
all
the
field
work
so
anyway,
they
have
committed
to
helping
us
amend
that
permit,
and
hopefully
it
doesn't
hold
us
up
any
anymore,
so
they've
been
good
partners
so
far
good.
Oh,
that's
good
news.
C
Glad
to
see
that
moving
along
that's
great
all
right,
any
additional
business,
any
additional
questions
on
parks
or
recreation
council,
member
parker.
B
Yeah,
this
is
jason
kronsberg.
I
know
I
had
emailed
you
regarding
some
shade.
I
didn't
know
whether
to
bring
this
up
in
aquatics
or
not,
but
just
hope
to
touch
base
with
you
again
at
some
point
again.
This
is
something
that
you
know.
We've
talked
about
private
sector,
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
really
engaged
community
members
that
want
to
try
to
help
see
this
through.
B
So
I
just
you
know
if
you
can
just
give
me
the
direction
you
know
to
try
and
take
that
I
know
lori's
not
on
anymore,
but.
I
So
we
sent
we
sent
that
little
sketch
that
you
sent
over
to
our
to
two
of
our
vendor,
our
playground,
equipment,
vendors
and
they
do
shade
structures.
So
hopefully
we'll
get
some
cost
estimates
back
pretty
quickly
and
I
can
share
them
back
with
you.
Okay,.
B
Perfect,
thank
you
and
I'm
gonna,
I'm
going
to
send
another
one
on
stephen
washington
park,
because
that's
one
that
a
lot
of
constituents
have
really
been
reaching
out
and
we
would
love
to
see
improvements
over
there.
I
know
that
budget
is
tight,
but
I
think
we
have
some
really
engaged
community
members
and
we
could.
We
could
really
get
some
things
done,
but
I
I
need
a
little
a
little
help,
a
little
direction.
C
Great
anything
else
for
the
good
of
this
committee.
Well,
thank
you
jason.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
know
you
got
called
to
jury
duty.
You
had
a
long
day
and
you
still
got
in
here
and
helped
us
out,
and
there
was
a
time
when
laurie
and
jason
were
both
going
to
jury
duty
and
we
weren't
sure
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
have
this
meeting.
So
I
appreciate
everybody
making
that
happen.
I'm
glad
to
see
that
mayor
techemberg
could
join
us
as
well
and
if
there's
nothing
else,
we
will
stand
adjourned.
Thank
you.
