Hello,
we
have
the
low
country
rapid
transits
resolution
for
the
municipal
agreement
with
scdot
as
you're
aware:
the
low
country,
rapid
trains.
It
is
our
region's
first
mass
bus,
rapid
transit
system
and
we
have
completed
the
30
design,
the
environmental
documents
and
the
project
development
of
the
project.
As
we
move
into
the
engineering
phase,
scdot
will
be
taking
over
the
management
of
the
design
and
construction
of
the
project
in
partnership
with
with
the
the
cog
and
the
county
and
the
municipal
partners.
B
A
D
As
I
understand
this
is
the
agreement,
the
only
agreement
that
they
require
now,
of
course,
we
do
expect
as
we
go
through
the
design
process
working
hand
in
hand
with
with
the
city
for
for
the
the
next
phase
of
design
and
into
the
construction.
So
it's
not
the
last
of
the
coordination,
but,
as
I
understand
this
is
the
agreement
that
they
would
like
in
order
to
feel
comfortable
moving
forward
and
managing
the
project.
B
E
Yes,
thank
you.
So
basically,
this
is
just
a
intergovernmental
agreement
between
the
state
of
charleston
and
charleston
county
to
accept
the
fun,
the
matching
funds
for
the
city,
municipal
golf
course
crossing
and
the
fleming
road
sidewalk
project
prior
to
both
of
these
projects
being
funded
by
ctc
funds.
E
The
city
has
already
given
approval
to
match
to
give
some
sort
of
match
to
help
assist.
Getting
these
projects
funded,
but
more
or
less.
The
iga
agreement
provided
is
a
standard
template.
We
use
with
other
municipalities
across
the
board,
and
we
just
saw
we
just
asked
for
the
committee
to
sign
and
get
this
rolling.
So
you
have
any
questions.
E
A
Even
after
this
phase,
we
consider
this
a
phase
one,
because
we
want
to
keep
on
going
down
fleming
road,
adding
sidewalks
there
to
make
that
street
safer,
and
then
I
I
did
want
to
share
with
everyone
that
the
funds
for
these
matches
came
from
a
development
agreement
with
the
folks
that
did
the
avalon
apartments
there
behind
the
harris
teeter
on
maybank
highway
and
originally
I
I
just
want
to
share
this
with
everyone.
So
everyone
will
know.
A
Originally
the
thought
was
these
funds
would
go
towards
a
traffic
signal,
light
at
fleming
and
and
maybank
but
which
we
still
would
like
to
have.
But
unfortunately,
upon
request
to
the
d.o.t
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong,
robbie,
the
the
the
warrants
were
not
met,
so
the
d.o.t
did
not
approve
putting
a
traffic
signal
at
that
corner
at
this
time.
So
we
thought
the
best
next
thing
to
do
was
to
go
ahead
and
improve,
put
in
some
sidewalks
and
then
improve
the
crosswalks
along
maybank
highway.
B
G
Signal
is
a
push
button
activated
signal,
so
basically,
when
the
golfers
or
pedestrians
come
to
the
location,
they'll
push
the
butting
button
and
it
will
activate
and
kind
of
work
as
a
traffic
signal
to
stop
the
traffic
it'll
have
a
countdown
signal
to
allow
you
know
just
like
we
have
in
the
city
to
allow
pedestrians
know
what,
how
much
time
they
have
to
cross
the
street,
and
then
it
will.
You
know
reactivate
and
open
the
traffic
back
up.
A
H
E
B
B
E
B
F
I
In
september
of
last
year,
the
city
put
out
pre-qualifications
for
those
additional
nighttime,
pedicab
decals,
and
a
couple
of
applicants
raised
concerns
to
the
council
that
they
shouldn't
have
to
you
know,
have
the
storage
before
they're
even
approved,
and
so
the
council
directed
the
legal
department
to
remedy
that,
and
so
we
have-
and
this
is
the
ordinance
amendment
to
correct
that-
and
it
basically
removes
the
requirement
and
the
applicant
provides
the
physical
address
of
the
storage
prior
to
being
awarded
the
decals.
But
getting
the
decals
is
contingent
upon
the
meeting.
B
A
So
yes,
sir,
mr
chairman,
I
I
did
want
to
just
you
know
why,
briefly
to
council
member
seeking's,
comment
that
when
we
had
that
procurement
recently,
some
folks,
I
g-
I
guess
they
weren't
able
to
to
meet
the
requirements
of
the
ordinance
because
they
weren't
already
in
the
business
and
the
the
the
purpose
behind
this.
This
change
is
to
kind
of
create
a
you
know,
level
playing
field
being
in
the
pedicab.
A
You
know
to
to
be
able
to
bid
on
on
on
doing
so,
and
so
you
wouldn't
normally
have
a
warehouse
and
a
place
set
up
if
you
weren't
already
in
the
business
so
anyway.
That's
in
a
nutshell,
the
reason
why
the
change
so
it
just
they
still
have
to
meet
all
the
requirements.
If,
if
they
were
the
successful
bidder
by
the
time
they
get
their
their
tags
or
whatever
for
each
pedicab,
but
it
it
just
makes
it
a
little
more
inclusive.
What's
the
reason.
C
With
a
long
history
of
dealing
with
the
pedicabs,
I
will
just
say
this:
I
think
what
this
does.
It
just
puts
another
level
of
government
intervention
into
all
this.
I
think
you
know.
If
you're
going
to
go
out
and
bid
a
process,
you
should
be
prepared
to
meet
the
qualifications
of
that
bid
at
the
time
you
do
bid
it.
My
understanding
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
is
the
way
this
came
up
this
time
around
was
in
the
last
procurement.
C
There
was
a
question
out
there
about
whether
or
not
there
were
facilities
available
that
met
our
requirements
and
all
the
applicants
put
yes.
Some
of
them
were
not
forthright
about
that
and
that's
what
sort
of
brought
this
up.
So
I
just
think
it's
an
extra
level
that
we
don't
necessarily
need.
If
we
put
procurements
out
there,
we
put
requirements
on
you
meeting
prerequisites
all
the
time.
C
It
doesn't
seem
to
me
to
be
a
heavy
burden
if
you're
bidding
for
decals
to
operate
pedicabs
on
the
street
of
the
city
of
charleston,
that
at
the
time
you
put
in
your
procurement,
you
know
how
you're
going
to
operate
your
business,
including
where
you're
going
to
put
your
pedicabs.
But
you
know
if,
if
this
is
the
next
level,
what
we're
going
to
do
is
go
through
this
process
and
then
we'll
have
to
send
we'll
go
through
the
process.
C
I
want
to
send
mr
somerville
or
somewhere
out
from
his
office,
to
go
and
see
whether
they
meet
the
requirements.
It
just
is
another
level
of
review
that
I
think
I
mean
I
don't
understand
why
we
don't
make
them
meet
the
requirements
at
the
time
of
the
bidding.
So
that's
that's
sort
of
my
view
of
the
whole.
The
whole
process.
B
H
B
G
A
project-
yes,
this
is
a
mou
with
berkeley
county.
The
pride
director,
mr
keith,
benjamin,
was
working
with
the
publix
on
seven
farms
on
a
mid-block
pedestrian
crossing.
You
know
you
know
again
between
seven
farms
on
seven
farms
between
island
park
and
river
landing
as
part
of
that
agreement.
It
just
you
know
we
had
kimberly
horn,
do
a
study.
G
So
we
work
with
berkeley
county
to
kind
of
partner
with
our
contractor,
who
is
banks
construction
to
do
the
work
for
us,
so
the
project
I
guess
they
gave
was
actually
given
notice
to
proceed.
I
want
to
say
february
1st:
there
was
a
pre-construction
meeting
last
week.
You
know
for
them
to
you,
know,
get
all
the
specs
on
the
project
and
they're
ready
to
proceed
with
the
installation
of
the
crossing.
Again.
This
is
a
high
visibility.
F
Some
of
y'all
have
one,
I
guess
two
questions
one
I
see
we
are
removing
from
parking
in
those
drawings
that
you
sent
me.
I
know
that's
not
a
lot
of
parking
spaces,
but
great
concern
out
here
is
with
the
renovations
at
creditone
stadium.
What
our
parking
plan
is
moving
forward
again,
I
know
we're
talking
about
six
or
eight
parking
spaces
that
we're
removing,
but
are
we
replacing
those
elsewhere?
G
Know
the
line
of
sight
we
have
to
have.
We
have
to
remove
those
parking
stalls
based
on
the
speed
limit
on
seventh
arm
drive,
so
the
parking
agreement,
some
of
the
discussions
with
credit
one
and
our
I
think,
team
five,
the
police
lieutenant
wojo-
is
to
utilize
the
I
think
the
blackbaud
parking
lot
on
fairchild
to
you
know
transport
people
back
and
forth
to
the
kind
of
thing.
A
I
know
they're
gonna
have
a
lot
more
music
events
there,
and,
and
so
particularly
with
the
way
seven
farms
kind
of
curves
around
you
know,
and
you
don't
have
a
long,
a
sight
line
before
you
get
to
that
crosswalk
and
people
can
can
be
speeding
everywhere.
You
know,
I
think
the
safety
factor
is
is
is
kind
of
prominent
here
and,
and
I
think
I
think
to
do
it
now.
The
timing
of
this
is
is
just
ideal.
If
I
may
say
I'm
lucky
that
we
can
get
this
done
before.
F
Yes,
sir,
mr
summerville,
one
more
question
on
the
two
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollar:
two
hundred
ten
thousand
six
hundred
forty
ninety
five
cents.
I
did
see
in
the
detailed
cost
estimate
we
are
being
charged
for,
I
guess,
as
a
pass
through
eleven
thousand
dollars
in
mobilization
from
the
contractor
they're
already
going
to
be
mobilized
on
seven
farms
drive.
I
don't
know
how
much
opportunity
there
is
for
negotiation
here,
but
is
that
typical?
Do
you
see
that
or
we
get
charged
mobilization
twice
on
something
like
this.
F
G
B
G
Just
want
to
introduce
you
y'all,
I
think
michael's
on
the
call,
but
I
was
finally
able
to
hire
michael
mathis.
As
my
deputy
director
michael,
was
a
employee
for
the
city
of
charleston
for
19
years,
where
he
left
for
about
eight
months
and
went
to
charleston
county,
and
I
was
happy
to
get
him
back
on
february
7th.
So
I
think
there
he
is
he's
on
the
call
so
just
want
to
introduce
y'all
to
mike
max.
F
B
A
B
H
I
do
parker,
yes,
thank
you.
I
do
and
it
may
not
be
the
time
you
know,
because
it's
not
on
the
agenda,
but
just
mr
somerville.
I
may
just
need
to
get
with
you
on
this,
but
is
it
a
point
if,
if,
if
a
constituent
requests
something
is
it
appropriate,
do
we
put
it
forth
towards
the
committee
or
do
I
go
directly
to
mr
somerville
first,
and
would
you
mind
just
kind
of
helping
me
through
that
process.
H
B
You
know
anything
they're
working
on
in
the
city,
any
future
service,
anything
like
that
would
be
great
and
then
for
next
time
as
well
was
hoping
we
could
get
an
update
on
anything
that
came
out
of
the
public
hearing
that
we
had
for
our
traffic
and
transportation
committee
meeting
on
some
of
the
items
that
we
mentioned.
We
would
address.
So
if
we
could
just
get
a
formal
update
on
that,
that
would
be
great.
C
What
I
would
propose
on
carter,
I
mean
I
could
do
it,
but
I
think
it'd
be
better
if
we
can
get
ron
or
sharon.
So
if
I
can
just
check
with
their
schedules
and
if
it's
not
the
next
meeting
some
meeting
in
the
near
future,
where
they're
available
and
can
give
a
report,
if
that
suits
you,
okay,
I
think
that
would
be.
That
would
be
great
course
of
action.
Thanks.
B
C
A
I
think
it's
the
pleasure
of
of
counsel,
but
my
recollection
was
that
we
were
gonna
stick
with
virtual
for
a
while,
except
for
ways
and
means
and
city
council,
but
I'm
I'm
here
most
all
the
time.
So
it's
it's
fine
with
me.
If
y'all
want
to
get
together
in
person
and
particularly
on
a
day
like
today
when
we're,
if
it
happens
to
be
on
council
day
but
we've,
it
seems
like
we
made
a
shift
and
it's
convenient
for
for
folks.
