E
E
So
all
of
most
of
the
contracted
work
is
either
underway
or
completed.
Many
of
the
I-beans
have
been
installed
that
were
the
structural
supports.
For
that
second
floor,
the
initial
termite,
rot
and
repair
has
been
removed
and
new
floor.
Joists
have
been
reinstalled,
new
flooring
has
been
replaced
on
the
second
floor,
framing
for
the
restrooms
has
been
completed,
plumbing
and
electrical
reference
have
started
and
the
new
duct
work
for
the
hvac
is
underway
now
to
the
other
part
of
the
project.
E
The
contractor
has
has
priced
that
work
and
has
prepared
a
change
order
that
change
order
will
be
coming
in
at
the
next
council
meeting.
So
substantial
completion
was
originally
may
1st.
With
this
additional
work,
the
contractor
is
preparing
the
request
for
additional
days,
which
we
think
is
justifiable
and
they're
preparing
the
new
schedule.
So
I
don't
have
a
new
schedule
yet,
but
the
work
is
underway
and
we
don't
think
the
the
additional
repairs
are
going
to
be
too
significant
in
cost,
but
definitely
needed.
E
I
have
not,
I
know
that
I
think,
there's
a
meeting
scheduled
with
legal
and
perhaps
real
estate
and
recreation
to
discuss
how
that
all
is
going
to
work,
but
I'd
have
to
defer
to
others
on
how
they
determine
what
the
terms
are
for
the
the
new
for
the
boxing
gym
to
to
come
back
in.
We
have
fully
anticipated
them
coming
back.
I
just
don't
know
the
details
on
what
how
that
works.
E
E
We
are
having
our
own
facilities,
maintenance
staff,
remove
all
of
the
old
sliding
doors
that
were
screwed
shut
back
in
the
80s.
We've
got
a
new
security
system
being
installed.
We've
repaired
the
sewer
line
with
some
additional
painting.
We
need
to
do
some
column
fixes
around
the
pool
and
some
additional
fencing
so
we'll
be
ready
for
the
july
1st
opening.
F
F
We
do
have
a
couple
of
patrons
who
have
larger
either
wheelchairs
or
walkers,
and
we
work
with
those
patients
patrons
individually
to
bring
them
in
through
the
side
gate
and
it
works
really
well.
So,
while
the
building
is
not
going
to
be
brand
new,
it
still
has
a
required
number
of
lifts
to
get
into
the
pool.
It
still
has
the
ability
to
to
enter
the
doors.
All
of
those
are
doors
that
are
that
are
that
are
fine.
F
F
Absolutely
we
meet,
we
meet
the
reasonable
accommodations.
Yes,
sir,
absolutely
and
I
think
everybody's
going
to
be
really
surprised
when
they
go
over
there
at
how
connected
you
become
with
the
rest
of
forest
park.
You
can
hear
what's
going
on
on
the
playground
and
you
can
hear
the
birds
and
it's
just
kind
of
amazing
for
that
pool
that
I've
been
in
for
almost
28
years
now,
my
working
year
here
at
the
city
and
to
walk
in
that
pool
now
and
feel
connected
to
the
rest
of
the
park.
E
E
There
is
new
surcharge
that
you
may
have
seen
that's
in
place
on
the
track,
because,
if
you'll
remember,
we
renegotiated
with
the
school
district
to
make
sure
we
had
the
proper
track
being
installed,
so
that
new
surcharge
is
in
place
and
probably
will
be
there
through
the
summer.
Their
surveyors
are
constantly
monitoring
the
compaction
rate
and
they
continue
to
provide
us
updates.
E
E
That's
the
school
district
work
there's
in
addition,
their
their
retaining
walls
are
all
completed,
so
all
of
all
of
their
site
work
is
almost
done.
If
you
will
so
now
we're
just
waiting
for
mother
nature
to
do
its
job
with
gravity
and
the
surcharge,
pile
the
city
portion
of
the
work,
the
locker
rooms
have
been
the
hvac
upgrades
to
the
locker
rooms
that
work
is
completed
so
that
that
worker,
that
those
units
are
underway
or
working.
E
And
we
have,
we
are
getting
close
to
have
our
permit
set
or
our
approval
set
through
trc
and
storm
water
reviews
for
our
parking
lot
improvements
and
the
new
entry
plaza
that
will
be
in
the
area
that
used
to
be
the
maintenance
gate
from
the
parking
lot.
So
there'll
be
a
new
paving
new
landscaping
and
it'll
be
a
much
better,
more
pleasing
entry
into
the
stadium,
so
hopefully
we'll
get
those
permits
completed
and
bid
set
advertised
at
the
end
of
this
month
or
next.
E
D
E
D
D
But
since
we
ended
up
going,
as
I
said
back
and
forth
about
the
track
and
then
enlarging
it
to
make
sure
it
was
400
meters
and
they
had
to
go
back
and
resurcharge
that
portion
of
the
field,
another
you
could
have
the
football
field
ready
by
september,
but
the
track
wouldn't
be
ready
that
that
wouldn't
make
sense.
So
it
will
not
be
my
understanding.
It
will
not
be
ready
for
football
season
this
this.
This
fall.
A
E
All
right
here,
you
know
I'll
move
right
along
the
car
richardson
park
so
that
that
work
is
underway.
As
most
of
you
know,
our
swift
inspections
have
passed
site,
work
has
commenced
and
the
contractors
made
significant
headway
with
the
submittals
and
product
data
for
all
of
the
the
products
are
and
appointments
that
the
park
will
be
seeing
and,
as
you
all
can
assume
or
understand.
E
E
The
original
proof
role
for
the
for
the
for
that
portion
of
the
project
did
not
pass
so
we
have
our
third
party
geotechnical
engineers
on
site,
inspecting
that
work
coming
plan
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
that
that
building
pad
compacted
to
the
needed
specifications.
So
we
can
construct
the
building.
E
B
E
E
E
B
E
F
Councilmember
del
chapo,
we
are,
we
have
started
interviews
we're
actually
in
the
second
phase
of
interviewing
for
that
manager
position.
One
of
the
candidates
that
we
were
hoping
to
would
still
be
interested
from
back
when
we
were
doing
it
in
december,
has
did
not
submit
an
application
so
we're
looking
at
some
new
applicants
really
this
time,
but
we
we
hope
to
make
that
selection
and
offer
within
the
next
week
and
then
that
employee
will
then
begin
the
hiring
of
all
the
other
employees
starting
and
putting
the
calendar
together.
F
I've
kept
a
pretty
large
file
of
program,
ideas
and
folks
from
the
ad
that
have
reached
out
to
me
saying
I'd
like
to
teach
a
class
I'd
like
to
do
this,
so
we've
kind
of
got
some
information
to
give
that
manager
to
get
them
running
real
quickly.
They'll
have
to
order
supplies
and
everything,
but
we
are
we're.
Definitely,
since,
since
we
were
able
to
get
finance
helping
us,
we
were
able
to
get
the
position
up
and
we're
moving
to
the
july
1.
I
think
we'll
be
there.
F
Sure
so
the
the
pros,
the
pricing
is
going
to
be
identical
to
all
of
our
other
community
centers.
So
in
order
for
a
city
resident
to
go
in
and
shoot
basketball,
they'll
get
an
id,
a
non-resident
will
pay
a
little
more,
but
it's
a
very
nominal
cost
for
programs,
it's
kind
of
a
pay-as-you-go,
so
there
may
be
a
zumba
class
that
costs
five
dollars.
There
may
be
an
art
class,
that's
free!
I
mean
some
of
it's
just
going
to
be
like
a
like
a
real
collection
of
things.
F
All
the
sports
class
sports
programs
will
be
the
same
cost
as
as
we
we
charge
now,
but
the
fee
structure
will
be
very
similar
to
what
we
have
at
arthur,
christopher
community
center
and
because
it
they
both
have
fitness
rooms
and
the
programming
won't
start
until
we're
able
to
open
the
building.
A
building
of
that
size
is
going
to
take.
At
least
you
know
three
or
four
people
to
have
it
open
and
safely
monitored,
so
we'll
have
to
bring
our
staff
on
before.
F
Well,
I
didn't
want
to
go
in
and
set
the
programming
up.
I
really
wanted
the
manager
to
come
in
and
do
that
with
a
pair
of
eyes
that
were
not
mine,
but
we
know
we
know
when
new
sports
are
going
to
be.
We
know,
you
know
we
know
summer's
already.
You
know
ongoing
and
things
like
that.
Most
everything
will
start
up
in
in
august
or
september
as
we
get
into
the
fall,
but
the
building
will
be
open.
F
So
if
that
folks
want
to
come
out
for
volleyball
night
on
thursdays
or
whatever
night
it
is,
they
want
to
play
pickleball
on
tuesday
and
thursday
mornings.
We'll
have
that
set
up.
That's
real
easy
to
do
on
the
fly.
We
should
be
introducing
that
information
to
the
community
in
june
as
we
start,
but
nothing
should
be
so
full
council
remember
that
we
won't
be
able
to
open
the
building
and
have
people
be
able
to
do
pretty
much
what
they
want
to
do
in
that
facility.
Okay,
thanks,
yes,
ma'am.
A
G
Councilmember
gregory,
I
believe
you
were
not
able
to
participate
in
the
april
1st
arts
commission
meeting
but,
as
we
discussed,
we
did
adopt
the
public
art
policy
guidelines
and
objectives,
leaving
open
the
specifics
of
a
governance
body
and
structure
for
recommendations.
Yet
to
come
from
the
special
commission
on
equity
inclusion
and
racial
conciliation,
we
are
ready
very
much
to
move
forward.
G
G
In
terms
of
the
city,
festivals
and
exhibitions
for
2021.
We
continue
to
operate
under
fairly
rigorous,
coveted
protocols.
All
of
the
programs
for
piccolo
spaletto
will
be
in
compliance
with
cdc
guidelines,
no
large
scale
gatherings
the
events
that
are
programmed
between
may
28th
and
june.
13Th
really
are
intended
to
be
discrete,
accommodate
safe
social
distancing
and
probably,
as
our
biggest
program
will
be
the
memorial
day.
Patriotic
concert
relocated
from
marion
square
to
hampton
park.
G
To
provide
for
greater
crowd
safety,
we
then
will
extend
some
of
the
piccolo
spieto
programs
deeper
into
the
summer,
including
moving
the
cso
pops
concert
that
traditionally
starts
things
off
at
the
custom
house.
That's
now
conceived
for
the
4th
of
july
at
joe
riley
stadium,
which
will
give
us
far
greater
social
distancing,
safe
attendance
and
the
addition
to
fireworks.
G
That
is
largely
recognizing
that
their
core
audience
is
of
advanced
age
and
in
higher
risk
groups.
But
we
are
proceeding
with
a
very
well
considered
plan
to
use
the
doc
street
theater,
to
use
public
parks
and
to
use,
what's
now
being
called
festival,
hall
manager
auditorium
for
a
series
of
again
well-structured,
safely,
considered
programs
that
will
accommodate
social
distancing
both
indoors
and
out,
and
keep
moja
very
much
in
the
public
eye.
G
And,
of
course,
what
I
think
we're
all
hoping
for
is
that
our
holiday
magic
in
historic,
charleston,
2021
truly
will
be
magic
and
that,
by
the
time
we
get
to
late
november
and
early
december,
most
of
the
concerns
about
the
pandemic
will
be
largely
behind
us.
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
fill
in
anything.
I've
ever
had.
E
E
E
C
E
E
E
A
H
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
sir?
Yes,
oh
great,
great,
great,
great
yeah,
I
was
listening
to
you
all.
I
just
had
none
muted,
but
couldn't
couldn't
hear
me
anyway
great
to
be
here
with
you
today
we're
getting
to
the
point
where
we're
starting
to
wrap
things
up.
I've
got
really
three
things
to
talk
about.
Today.
One
was
what
has
been
accomplished.
H
Secondly,
what
are
we
working
on
right
now
and
then
the
schedule
towards
wrapping
this
whole
thing
up
so
I'll
start
off
with
what's
been
accomplished,
so
we've
early
on,
went
on
inventoried
and
assessed
all
your
park.
Facilities
went
to
145
different
sites
and
then
had
a
separate
group
of
architects.
Looked
at
another
36
structures
for
site,
swift
structures.
H
We
looked
at
all
the
previous
studies
and
summarized
those,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
them
and
then
we
performed
a
social
needs
and
conditions
analysis
which
was
really
to
identify
those
areas
of
the
city
that
would
benefit
the
most
from
parks
and
recreation
and
other
social
services
as
well.
Those
areas
that
are
more
underprivileged,
and
then
we
also
did
some
benchmarking
to
other
communities
about
32
other
communities
in
the
southeast
of
similar
size.
H
Looking
at
their
facilities,
programs
and
budgets
in
comparison
to
yours
and
then
the
biggest
part
really
exciting
was
the
public
engagement,
and
that
was
really
a
pretty
amazing
process
with
covid.
You
know
hitting
us
right
when
we
were
getting
started,
but
despite
that,
I
think
we
had
better
participation
than
we
thought
we
would.
By
going
out
into
the
parks,
we
went
to
20
different
parts
to
talk
to
324
people
in
the
parks,
so
that
really
helped
out,
because
people
were
out
there
in
large
numbers.
We
took
advantage
of
that.
H
D
H
Know
the
groups
that
you
partner
with
and
others
we
participated
in
in
ten
of
the
the
city
plan
listening
sessions
that
had
had
over
300
participants
in
those
and
we
reviewed
the
results
from
those
city
plan.
You
know
which
reached
about
3
000
people
and
they
had
another
online
engagement
forum
that
another
108
people
were
involved
with
and
then
worked
with
about
60
staff
members
to
go
through
a
process
to
identify
a
new
mission,
vision,
values,
goals
and
objectives
for
parks
and
recreation
for
the
next
10
years.
H
H
So
what
we're
working
on
now-
and
it's
really
exciting
to
be
that
at
this
stage
to
start
trying
to
pull
all
this
together,
but
we're
looking
at
some
city-wide
parking
facility
recommendations,
some
recommendations
at
each
of
your
parks.
What
should
be
done
to
improve
those
and
then
some
overall
recommendations
for
the
structure
of
the
department
and
how
you
can
be
more
more
organized
potential
for
some
income
generation.
H
Looking
at
your
staffing
funding
and
revenue
and
looking
at
other
partnerships
and
the
programs
and
services
that
you
offer
so
there's
a
lot
that
we're
working
on
right
now
the
schedule
and
then
tom
o'rourke
met
with
jason
and
larry
monday
morning
to
go
over
this
with
them.
On
may
10th.
We'll
have
some
draft
recommendations
that
we're
going
to
review
with
with
jason
glory
and
then
around
may
13th
around
that
area.
H
A
H
E
E
In
reference
to
that
community
engagement
that
that
pat
referenced
it,
it
really
was
incredible
that
effort
during
covid
and
their
team
came
up
with
the
idea
of
printing
up
some
t-shirts
and
they
went
out
and
walked
the
parks
and
they
engaged
with
citizens
that
probably
would
have
never
been
online
would
have
never
come
to
a
public
meeting
and
would
have
never
logged
in
to
a
zoom
meeting.
So
it
really
was
an
outstanding
effort
and,
and
the
the
the
product
will
result
will
be
a
better
with
the.
F
So
he
really
was
able
to
meet
some
folks
that
use
our
parks
regularly,
but
are
not
folks,
like
jason,
said,
that
would
typically
probably
take
part
in
a
meeting
or
an
online
survey.
So
I
think
I
think
they
heard
a
lot
of
great
things
from
our
citizens
and
and
really
picking
a
great
firm
like
we
did
and
that
the
city
council
approved
that
expenditure.
A
H
I
A
C
I
I
Look
at
what
needs
the
most
help
and
you
know
start
knocking
these
projects
out,
it's
kind
of
like
how
we're
doing
flooding.
Now
we
we
all
know
we
have
flooding
issues
and
we
take
each
project
and
we
see
how
much
money
we
have
every
year
and
we
get
them
done
and
that's
just
what
we're
going
to
have
to
do
here.
I
I
I
just
I
know
that
it's
going
to
be
reported
when
that
number
comes
out,
how
much
it's
going
to
cost
and
it's
going
to
people
are
going
to
throw
up
their
arms
and
they're
going
to
say,
oh
well.
That
number
is
too
big
there's
no
way
we
can
do
that
if
we
break
it
down,
we
read
between
the
lines
a
little
bit
look
at
what
we
really
need.
First,
I
think
that
we're
we're
going
to
do
some
really
really
great
things
in
all
parts
of
our
city.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
that.
A
E

We
have
not
received
a
request
for
a
time
extension
yet,
but
we'll
kind
of
work
through
the
debris
issues
and
see
what
the
contractor
says
and
then
the
stony
field.
Yes,
that
would
be
brick
piers
with
iron
or
steel,
fencing
or
aluminum,
fencing
in
between
so
decorative
style,
charleston
style,
piers
and
fencing.
