City of Charleston Committee on Traffic and Transportation Meeting 11/1/22

A

B

C

You all right, thank you. uh I might be called this November 1st 2022 meeting of the Union Charleston interactive Insurance conditions, maybe even with the order and uh half the accounting, we're thinking proceed with an invocation.

B

Thank you, Mr chairman, if you don't mind, while I'm engaged in traffic and transportation, if we can just engage in a moment of silence, please what.

B

Thank you thank.

C

You council member uh item number received on the agenda: is the approval of the October 11th meeting so moved? Is there a second second all right, it's amazing, properly segment. Are there any uh discussions.

C

Thank you, I. Have it uh item three has been deferred at the request of the department, so that brings us to item four, uh which is the Amendments. The memorandum of agreement, computer, aided dispatch, DAV and parking enforcement dispatch and I'll turn it over to Mrs illegal.

A

Thank you chairman. um This isn't a memorandum. This is an amendment to the current minor memorandum of agreement between the city and the county. This is to allow us to share with the County's computer, aided dispatch um or cat, as they call it to be used for parking enforcement. This includes the cad mapping, the annual maintenance and the updates to their GIS files.

A

um The current agreement was signed June 11th last year. It expires uh December 31st this year. So this amendment is to extend the agreement by three years. There is a cost schedule that is attached. It's a nominal increase from last year um for the first year this year, I believe it's 9558, that's only a 789 dollar increase from last year, so it's a slight incremental every year that we just would like to go ahead and extend.

C

Okay, is there any discussion that we had on Summit.

C

And moved in properly seconded is there any further discussions all right see not all those in favor, please signify by saying hi hi.

C

All right the eyes uh next on the agenda is the traffic calling for battery Island, Drive and alternative.

D

Thank you chairman. We have uh one traffic calming recommendation for you today. It's battery Island Drive. This is west of Folly Road. um It would include two speed. Humps we've been working with Mr George Richardson of the battery Island neighborhood on this, since about April March of this past year. So we'd recommend approval of this. We've also been working with the DOT um and as part of this they will. They have agreed to lower the speed limit from 30 miles per hour to 25. That's part of the installation.

C

All right do I, hear a motion: um the movement zero. Second.

E

C

E

Yes, do you so this is on which side of battery Island Drive.

D

This is the west side of Folly Road.

D

A

This is not the.

D

Side that uh we have discussed previously with yourself and Miss uh councilmember Honeycutt.

E

Okay, so what was my question.

A

E

Is so, is this a city maintained Road as well or a county? This.

D

Is actually a state maintained, Road sedot owns and maintains it, and they have approved installation of the speed, humps and lowering of the speed limit as part.

E

Two-For-One deal, you drive a hard bargain up there Michael good job. Yes,.

C

All right is there any further discussion, uh councilmember Greg.

Thank you, Mr chairman.

F

um uh Sort of related to this, but um Mr Mathis talk to Mr Tisdale, maybe a month ago or so, and he mentioned that uh all the traffic calming devices speed humps were currently on hold, as they were under review with the uh the city Fire Department, making sure that this didn't impact dispatch times is that are we done with that exercise now and have we're now proceeding with traffic calming devices again.

D

Yes, sir, we have uh been working closely with the Fire Marshals division to ensure that the response time is not impacted by the installation of speed. Humps we've uh developed a um a process in which we can review those with the fire marshal.

D

So our hope is that moving forward, we will have a better idea of what will and will not be approved on their end.

D

Thank you. Yes, sir.
