Description
City of Charleston Health and Wellness Advisory Commission 10/6/2021
A
All
right
very
good,
and
I
want
to
welcome
everybody
to
our
october
6
2021
meeting
of
the
health
and
wellness
advisory
committee
and
just
say
thank
you
very
much
for
joining
us.
I
just
said
before
we
started:
we've
got
such
a
great
group,
and
I
appreciate
you,
you
know,
sharing
your
expertise
and
your
time
with
the
city
of
charleston
and
helping
make
our
area
better.
I
think
we
have
but
we're
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
2021
now
being
in
october.
A
I
think
we
have
about
11
or
so
weeks
till
christmas
12
weeks
left
in
2021,
so
we're
down
the
home
stretch
here
in
the
in
the
fourth
quarter,
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
everybody
has
done
up
to
this
point
and
and
look
forward
to
the
good
things
that
are
coming
here
for
year.
End
and
paul
has
put
up
the
agenda
for
us.
I
think
everybody
can
see
that
and
I
would
move
for
approval
of
me
of
the
minutes.
Paul
sent
them
out
on
monday.
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
we
will
jump
right
in
to
our
community
health
update
and
I
will
call
on
dr
katie
richardson
and
thank
you
for
being
here,
and
we
will
let
her
take
it
from
here.
B
Thanks
for
for
having
me,
so
I
wanted
to
cover
a
few
things
this
morning.
The
first
is
blue
in
some
ways.
It's
nice
for
covenant
to
be
at
the
top
of
the
list,
but
unfortunately
covet
is
still
here,
and
flu
is
on
the
way.
So
flu
vaccines
are
going
to
be
very
important
this
year
we
did
not
see
many
cases
of
flu
last
year,
and
that
means
less
natural
immunity
in
our
communities
against
the
flu.
B
In
addition,
our
hospitals
are
still
seeing
significant
hospitalizations
around
coveted
flu
in
a
normal
year
also
causes
a
significant
number
of
hospitalizations,
and
that
added
strain
may
be
very
difficult
for
our
hospitals
to
handle
this
year.
So
vaccines
are
already
available
in
many
pharmacies
and
providers,
offices,
dhec
will
begin
school-located
vaccine
clinics
for
flu
vaccines
and
potentially
down
the
road
a
little
for
kobe
vaccines
as
well.
B
We'll
begin
that
mid-october
that
will
include
us
going
into
the
charleston
county
school
district
to
provide
those
so
parent
permission
slips
will
be
coming
out
soon.
If
not
already,
we
do
see
flu
many
years
as
early
as
october
and
as
late
as
may.
So
we
are
recommending
on
the
flu
vaccine
for
those
who
haven't
gotten
it
to
please
try
to
get
it
in
october,
but
but
it's
always
better.
B
You
know
better
to
get
it
late,
if,
if
not
sooner
so
so
try
to
get
it
in
in
october,
if
possible,
but
get
it
whenever
you
can.
I
think
that's
the
end
of
what
I'm
gonna
say
about
flu
other
than
what
we
know
is
like
over
vaccine.
B
B
B
And
the
last
thing
I
want
to
say
about
that
is
you
can
receive
your
flu
vaccine
and
your
covid
booster
or
your
covent
primary
series
for
anyone
who's,
not
gotten
that
at
the
same
time,
so
many
providers
will
give
those
in
different
art-
that's
not
even
required.
So
that's
often
more
convenient.
You
certainly
don't
need
to
do
it
that
way,
but
both
are
available
now
both
are
are
recommended.
B
Just
moving
on
to
the
the
booster
pfizer
has
now
been
approved
as
a
booster
for
four
groups.
So
two
are
in
what
we
call
the
should
category
so
should
get
a
booster.
Those
are
people
over
65,
65
or
over
and
residents
and
long-term
care
facilities.
That's
one
group.
The
second
group
is
people
age
50
to
64
with
certain
underlying
medical
conditions.
That
is,
if
you've
received
at
least
one
dose
of
the
pfizer
vaccine.
B
As
your
primary
series
there's
also
two
categories
of
may
receive
the
booster
weighing
the
risk
and
benefits
those
are
people
aged
18
to
49,
who
are
at
high
risk
for
severe
covenant,
the
underlying
medical
conditions
and
those
aged
18
to
64,
who
are
at
increased
risk
for
covet
exposure
and
transmission
because
of
occupational
or
institutional
setting,
and
all
of
those
are
by
what
we
call
self
attestation.
B
So
it's
it's
up
to
you
and
you
know,
in
consultation
with
your
provider,
to
decide
if
you
do
fit
those
categories,
if
you
feel
like
you're,
an
increased
risk
and
what
I've
been
generally
saying
is.
B
Certainly
if
you
fall
in
more
than
one
of
these
categories,
so
maybe
you're
18
to
49
and
pregnant,
which
is
one
of
those
certain
underlying
medical
conditions
and
you
work
in
a
field
with
increased
occupational
exposure
that
likely
moves
you
more
from
the
may
to
the
you
know,
consider
strongly
category
so
being
said:
we've
gotten
lots
of
questions
about
what,
if
I
got
moderna
and
johnson
and
johnson,
and
we
have
heard
that
the
fda
will
be
meeting
in
mid-october.
B
B
So
may
you
know,
can
people
get
a
booster
of
a
vaccine
that
they
did
not
get
in
their
primary
series?
So
we're
looking
forward
to
that
that
data
those
recommendations
for
us
from
first
from
the
fda,
then
the
cdc,
but
at
this
time
a
booster
is
not
recommended
for
those
who
did
not
receive
at
least
one
dose
of
pfizer
from
the
beginning.
There
is
that
one
caveat
of
those
who
are
immunocompromised
and
the
eua
does
cover
a
third
dose
for
anyone
immunocompromised
to
receive
pfizer
on
moderna
right
now.
B
So
so
that's
adult
booster
information.
It's
still
our
priority
and
I
wanna
definitely
want
to
emphasize
this
point
is
getting
those
who
are
unvaccinated
through
their
first
dose
or
first
primary
series
of
any
of
the
three
vaccines
that
are
available.
B
That's
certainly
the
biggest
bang
for
our
buck
in
public
health
for
decreasing
risk
of
covet
in
our
communities.
Moving
on
to
children,
we've
also
gotten
word
that
the
fda
will
be
meeting.
I
think
it's
the
26th
of
october
to
review
the
data
from
pfizer
for
those
children
ages,
5
to
11
to
receive
the
vaccine.
Certainly
everything
we've
seen
from
that
data
is
very
positive.
B
It's
effective
shows
that
the
side
effects
are
minimal
and
and
so
from
what
we
know.
We
do
hope
that
there
will
shortly
thereafter
come
approval
in
the
form
of
an
eua
for
that
vaccine.
For
that
that
particular
group
in
the
in
the
meantime,
we
continue
to
unmasking
in
schools
universally.
B
B
For
that
we
are
grateful
and,
and
certainly
many
of
our
kids
have
been
able
to
stay
in
school
and
remain
healthy
because
of
that
and
lastly,
I
just
want
to
mention
paul
included
an
attachment
with
the
agenda
on
cdc
holiday
guidance
that
came
out
since
paul
sent
it
out
that
has
actually
been
taken
down
from
the
cdc
website.
B
There
was
some
pushback
on
it
being
potentially
overly
restrictive,
and
so
the
cdc
did
decide
to
pull
it
back,
wants
to
wait
and
see
what
happens
with
covet
in
our
communities.
Certainly
nothing
on.
There
was
untrue,
but
there
there
was
a
lot
of
talk
about
needing
to
continue
to
have
holidays
virtually
and,
and
we
hope
not
to
be
there,
but
we
will
need
to
do
it
safely.
B
If
it's
done
at
all,
there
will
be
certainly
some
at-risk
populations
that
will
need
to
weigh
the
the
risk
and
benefits
but
more
to
come
on
holiday
guidance
from
the
cdc
dhec
as
we
get
closer
to
thanksgiving
and
christmas.
That's
what
I've
got
today
and
I'm
going
to
take
any
questions.
Thank
you,
dr
richardson.
Any
questions
for.
C
Dr
katie
richardson
paul
katie,
I
put
a
couple
things
in
your
your
box.
First
thing:
flu
shots
for
schools
is
that
in
the
works.
B
It
is
so
we
will
be
beginning
that
mid-october,
so
I
think
that
means
the
15th
and
basically
we've
gotten
moa's
back
from
a
number
of
schools,
including
charleston
county
school
district
and
looking
to
begin
setting
up
those
those
clinics.
So
dhec
nurses
will
go
into
schools
to
offer
flu
vaccines.
B
That
that's
a
great
question,
I
don't
know.
If
we
have
set
up
community,
we
will
be
offering
community
clinics.
I
my
understanding
is
that
it
is
the
same
team,
that's
working
with
the
schools,
and
so
we
have
prioritized
sort
of
trying
to
get
some
of
the
schools
set
up.
First,
there
may
be
community
clinics,
and
I
will
I
will
ask
about
that
schedule
and
send
you
any
schedule,
that's
already
on
the
books
for
community
clinics,
so
that
you
can
share
that
with
this
group.
C
Right
two
more
questions:
is
there
still
a
deadline
between
the
first
and
second
shots?
It
used
to
be
42
days.
B
No,
so
if,
if
you've
received
your
first
five
turnout
and
not
yet
received
your
second,
you
may
receive
that
at
any
point
in
time.
It
is
still
the
official
recommendation
that,
if
it
can
be
done
within
42
days
of
the
first,
that
would
be
best.
But
there's
it's
never.
B
The
case
that
you
have
to
start
over
have
that
first
vaccine
again,
whenever
you
get
your
second
vaccine,
that
does
complete
your
series
for
the
primary
series
for
the
booster,
if
it's
a
third
dose
because
of
being
immunocompromised
the
recommendations
weighed
at
least
28
days,
and
if
it
is
a
booster
with
pfizer.
B
B
B
We
certainly,
I
don't
think
most
of
us
expected
the
delta
variant
right
months
before,
and
so
I
think,
there's
certainly
a
risk
for
seeing
another
surge,
whether
it's
a
new
variant,
whether
it's
the
winter
time.
We
certainly
you
know.
We
do
not
know
that
that
where
this
will
be
our
last
search,
we
certainly
hope
that
will
be
the
case,
but
we
must
remain
vigilant.
We
must
continue
to
try
to
decrease
transmission
in
our
community.
C
And
then
kevin
finally,
I'd
just
like
to
thank
dr
richardson
and
taylor
lee,
for
we
were
getting
ready
for
the
bridge
run
and
they
were.
We
helped
us
review
what
we
were
doing
to
keep
us
on
target
and
offer
a
few
other
suggestions,
and
so
it's
just
nice
to
have
medical
medical
and
our
health
department
personnel
out
there
ready
to
help
guide
us
through
through
anything,
and
so
we
were
very
appreciative
for
your
your
help.
C
In
this
that
event
we
had,
and
then
I
was
reading
in
the
paper
today-
and
I
thought
you
maybe
just
want
to
to
reiterate
it,
but
people
have
been
storming.
That
sounds
like
your
local
offices,
with
wanting
to
get
exemptions
or
or
things
of
that
nature,
and
it's
been
pretty
the
paper
made
it
sound
like
y'all,
been
taking
a
lot
of
abuse
over
there,
and
I
just
don't
we
maybe
should
echo
out,
but
that
that's
not
what
y'all
do
with
the
extent
exemption.
So
I
just
thought
you
might
want
to
touch
on
that.
B
Yes,
thank
you
for
for
reminding
me
to
bring
that
up
so
dhec
does
by
law,
offer
exemptions,
medical
and
religious
for
state
mandated
vaccines
for
children
in
daycare
and
schools,
but
that
is
the
end
of
what
dhak
is
able
to
provide
to
the
community.
So
we
do
not
have
anything
to
do
with
medical
or
religious
exemptions
for
adults,
for
the
cova
vaccine
or
any
other
vaccine.
B
If
your
employer
is
mandating
on
the
vaccine,
then
you
must
work
with
them.
Dhec
has
no
role
to
play
in
issuing
any
sort
of
exemption
in
those
cases.
So
yes-
and
we
have
had
some
some
difficulties
in
several
of
our
health
departments
with
adults
who
who
had
a
different
understanding,
but
but
that
is
always
the
way
it
has
been,
and
that
will
be
the
way
it
will
continue
to
be.
B
The
dhec
does
not
play
a
role
in
adult
exemptions
due
to
what
your
employer
has
has
put
in
place.
Thanks
for
giving
me
the
chance
to
say
that.
D
B
That
is
a
good
question.
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me,
but
that
is
the
lowest
percent.
I
feel
like
the
last
time
I
looked.
It
was
less
than
30
percent.
B
Do
we
due
to
being
within
six
feet
without
a
mask
or
within
three
feet
if
both
we're
wearing
masks
if
they
are
fully
vaccinated,
and
so
I
hope
it
also
continues
to
allow
you
know
sports
teams
to
play
without
having
those
those
kids
out
concerts
to
go
on
as
much
as
we
want
our
kids
to
be
able
to
have
as
normal
a
year
as
possible.
B
A
Okay,
any
other
questions.
I
I
have
a
quick
question,
dr
richardson,
on
the
booster
shots.
I
know
you
said
the
18
to
49
if
they
had
some
underlying
conditions-
and
you
know
I
know
you
said
that
it
was
kind
of
up
to
that
person.
But
will
they
have
to
show
any
proof
or
can
they
just
come
up
and
get
that
booster.
B
That's
right,
they're
not
needing
to
show
proof
at
our
sites
and
we're
asking
all
providers
to
not
require
proof
and
it's
a
fairly
long
list
of
underlying
medical
conditions.
It
is
on
the
cdc
and
dhec
website,
but
basically
anything
that
you
might
think
from
hypertension
to
asthma
to
diabetes
to
being
a
smoker
to
being
pregnant
to
being
obese.
It
is
a
long
list
and
all
of
those
it's
I
don't
even
think
you
have
to
attest
to
a
single
one.
B
I
think
you
go
up
and
say
I
do
meet
one
of
the
underlying
medical
conditions
and
that
is
sufficient
to
then
receive
your
booster.
A
Very
good,
okay!
Well,
thank
you
so
much.
If
there's
no
other
questions
for
dr
richardson,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
know
that
the
everybody
with
the
city
appreciates
all
the
work
that
you
do
and
everybody
on
here,
obviously,
but
but
dhec
has
certainly
helped
us
a
tremendous
amount
in
our
decisions
for
the
city,
and
we
appreciate
all
that
you
do.
Dr.
C
Richardson,
so
thank
you
very
much
kevin
kevin.
Could
I
just
add
one
more
thing
for
for
katie.
They
still
have
their
clinics
open
to
do
testing
and
they're
doing
one
over
by
tanger
outlet
by
the
fire
museum.
C
That's
monday,
through
sunday,
from
I
think,
eight
to
four
or
nine
to
four,
but
it's
a
free
clinic
that
we're
still
doing
testing
for
for
anybody.
That's
that
is
thinking
about.
They
need
to
get
just
to
feel
better
about
being
tested.
Those
those
are
out
there
and
I
just
want
to
encourage
people
to
not
don't
hesitate
to
test
if
you're
sick,
because
we
don't
want
you
in
the
workplace
or
in
schools
and
getting
other
people
sick.
B
Absolutely
and
I
don't
want
to
steal
maggie's
thunder,
but
but
we're
also
beginning
testing
with
the
school
district
for
all
students
and
staff
on
creating
most
afternoons
at
certain
schools
around
and
maggie
can
fill
us
in
specifically,
but
it's
it's
pretty
much
monday
to
saturday
and
gives
hope
we
hope
to
that
that
increases
access
for
that
community.
So
anyone
who's
symptomatic
was
a
close
contact
or
just
wants
to
be
tested
for
whatever
reason
that
will
be
available
free
of
charge.
A
All
right,
thank
you
and
maggie.
If
it's
okay,
I
will
call
on
you
during
the
community
update
if
that's
okay,
so
you
can
give
a
full
report
so
or
anyone
else
that
happens
to
be
on.
You
know
that
needs
to
give
community
updates.
We'll
certainly
do
that.
So
all
right!
Well,
thank
you
very
much
again.
Next
on
our
agenda,
one
charleston
parks
and
recreation
master
plan.
A
All
of
you
know
that
jason
is
obviously
our
director
of
parks,
like
I
said
earlier,
probably
the
busiest
man
in
charleston
and
and
of
course,
laurie
yarborough's,
our
recreation
director
and
they've
called
on
these
great
gentlemen,
tom
o'rourke
and
pat
hovland
to
come
up
with
our
parks
and
recreation
master
plan
and
they've
done
an
incredible
job.
They
spent
several
months
getting
out
talking
to
all
all
levels
of
constituents
in
the
parks
and
recreation.
A
They've
done
an
incredible
job
of
coming
up
with
a
what,
I
think
is
a
outstanding
parts
and
recreation
master
plan,
so
I'll
first
call
on
jason
and
and
then
jason
can
can
turn
it
over
to
those
guys.
E
E
It
took
a
lot
of
work
to
engage
the
citizens
to
get
that
feedback,
but
I
feel
like
and-
and
tom
and
pat
will
verify
this-
that
we
went
above
and
beyond
to
get
that
that
to
to
get
that
engagement
to
get
that
civic
feedback,
and
you
know
with
not
being
able
to
gather
in
large
groups
at
the
time
when
there
was
lots
of
unknowns
and.
E
They
went
out
into
the
parks
they
put
on
special
colored
t-shirts
and
they
and
they
met
people
one-on-one
and
they
met
people
that
probably
don't
have
access
to
the
internet.
Perhaps
would
not
even
have
looked
for
a
public
notice
to
see
what
was
going
on
and
may
have
never
engaged
in
any
sort
of
municipal
government
activity.
E
So
it
was
really
interesting
to
get
that
feedback
and
and
do
these
one-on-one
surveys
and
they
went
to
multiple
locations
around
the
city
and
conducted
that
work.
So,
but
that
wasn't
the
only
thing
there
were.
You
know
there
were
multiple
online
platforms.
There
were
statistically
valid
surveys
that
were
mailed
through
the
u.s
mail.
There
was
online
surveys,
there
was
the
mind
mixer
site,
so
it
really
was
an
incredible
process
and
going
into
this
we
knew
that
we
have
needs.
E
We
know
we
have
things
that
need
to
happen
and
ultimately,
and
as
a
result
of
the
plan,
those
needs
were
identified
and
they're
identified
over
a
10-year
time
frame,
and
you
know
the
next
step
is
going
to
be
to
figure
out
how
to
how
to
fund
some
of
these
things,
which
you
know
as
the
population
grows.
E
Our
services
should
grow
in
a
commensurate
nature,
just
as
police
and
fire
does,
or
environmental
services
parks
and
open
space
have
become
critical
infrastructure
more
than
ever.
Today,
especially
when
coveted
started
people
wanted
to
get
outside,
they
were,
they
were
in
our
parks,
they
were
along
our
trails
and,
and
it
really
does
become
critical
infrastructure
and
and
the
backbone
of
health
and
wellness.
So
with
that
said,
I
I'll
just
turn
it
over
to
tom
and
pat.
F
Yeah
pat,
can
I
just
set
it
up.
F
Go
ahead,
that's
funny,
jason.
We
have
a
little
a
little
present.
We,
if
you
saw
me
and
pat
texting
each
other,
it
was
like.
We
weren't,
really
sure
what
we
were
meant
to
do,
but
we
will
certainly
condense
what
we
have
for
you,
because
we
know
this
is
not
just
our
meeting
and
you've
got
a
lot
of
important
work
to
do.
F
I'm
gonna
summarize
a
year's
worth
of
work
in
about
three
sentences
and
then
we're
gonna
go
through
it
and
you
can
see
it.
The
city
has
has
had
unbelievable,
deferred
maintenance
on
parks
and
facilities.
F
So
I
think
the
council
made
a
really
wise
decision
and
I
think
it
was
a
flip
of
the
coin.
We
know
the
public
is
going
to
have
to
participate
in
the
funding
of
this,
and
I
think
we
had
first
thought:
let's
try
to
bring
this
up
for
a
vote
this
november,
but
everybody
said
fast,
isn't
good.
F
We
need
to
make
sure
that
everybody
understands
exactly
what
their
investment
would
be
and
what
it
would
go
to
so
next
on.
Our
work,
as
jason
mentioned,
is
to
work
with
jason
and
laurie,
and
the
council,
especially
the
rec
committee,
to
discuss
what
recommendations
will
have
for
the
actual
funding
of
this
plan,
and
so
I'll
stop
now
we'll
go
through
what
we're
gonna
do.
F
There's
some
pretty
interesting,
really
fun
managerial
recommendations
that
we
have
so
we'll
go
through
that
right
now
and
feel
free
to
to
tell
me
if
I'm
being
long-winded
or
whatever.
H
F
F
H
So
I'm
trying
to
go
through
this
quickly
as
well,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
information
that
we
gathered
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
or
so
it
was
a
four-phase
process,
the
evaluate
phase
where
we
just
looked
at
all
the
programs,
the
facilities,
benchmarking
to
other
communities,
mapping
of
your
facilities,
those
kind
of
things
and
then
a
lot
of
engagement
as
jason
talked
about,
and
then
we
got
with
our
steering
committee
and
staff
and
developed
a
new
vision,
mission
goals
and
objectives
for
the
future,
and
then
from
that
developed
an
action
plan
of
all
the
recommendations
for
this
plan.
H
One
thing
we
did
was
was
map
the
service
areas.
We
looked
at
five
different
types
of
parks
and
20
different
21,
different
amenities.
You
know
such
as
ball
fields
and
playgrounds
and
rec
centers
and
aquatic
facilities,
and
mapped
a
10-minute
walk
and
a
five-minute
drive
to
those
facilities.
And
what
you
see
in
red
here
are
those
areas
or
that
are
the
lowest
and
least
well
served
in
the
community
and
in
the
areas
that
are
the
best
server
in
the
blue,
the
more
blue.
It
is
the
highest
level
surface.
H
So
it
helps
us
identify
some
of
those
areas
where
we
need
to
identify
additional
additional
facilities
and
access
so
part.
A
lot
of
this
is
about
equity.
We
also
did
a
thing
called
the
social
needs
and
conditions
index
where
we
mapped
11,
different
social
economic
factors
by
census
tract
throughout
the
city
of
charleston,
to
identify
those
areas
where
the
people
are
in
the
most
need
of
social
services,
not
just
parks
and
recreation,
but
any
type
of
social
services,
and
you
see
especially
a
lot
of
the
the
upper
area
of
the
the
peninsula.
H
It's
as
high
as
that
area
in
the
red
and
then
over
in
the
west
ashley
area
sort
of
in
the
central
west
ashley
area,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
the
red
there
as
well,
whereas
the
darker
blue
areas
are
the
areas
that
are
that
are
better
served
or
they
have
least
a
lot
of
the
social
needs
and
conditions
index.
So
this
is
one
area
to
show
where
we
can
do
the
most
good,
and
then
we
took
those
two
and
put
them
together
in
the
areas
you
see
in
red.
H
Here
are
those
areas
where
we
should
place
priority
on
developing
additional
facilities
or
programs
and
providing
additional
services
again
so
the
upper
area
of
the
peninsula
west
ashley
and
then
some
of
the
areas
up
in
in
james
island.
There
are
some
of
those
areas
that
concentrate
not
that
we're
only
going
to
work
in
those
areas,
but
other
areas
that
we
should
focus
on.
H
So,
as
jason
mentioned,
we
did
a
lot
of
meeting
in
the
parks.
You
see
that
the
green
shirt
there,
let's
talk,
parks
and
rec,
we
wore
those
out
in
the
parks.
We
had
324
surveys
at
19,
different
sites
that
we
filled
out.
So
it's
a
lot
of
people
we
talked
to.
H
We
had
24
over
2
400,
webs
and
handout
surveys,
600
mail
surveys.
It
was
a
statistically
valid
survey
and
150
participants
online
through
my
mind,
mixer
online
engagement
site,
so
we
had,
and
then
we
also
piggybacked
on
the
charleston
city
plan
public
workshops
that
they
had
virtually
because
a
lot
of
the
discussions
there
were
about
trails
and
connectivity
a
lot
of
those
discussions.
So
it
was
good
to
be
part
of
that
as
well.
H
E
H
Yeah
we
took
over
a
few
of
those
so
some
of
those
more
common
themes
that
we
saw,
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
all
of
them,
but
you
know
upgrading
your
existing
parks
and
connectivity
of
your
your
trails,
open
space,
dog
parks,
restrooms
in
the
parks
and
restrooms
that
are
open
in
the
park.
Some
places
you've
got
them,
but
they're
not
not
even
open
making
it
affordable.
H
You
know
a
variety
of
different
things:
access
to
the
water
was
really
important,
so
these
are
some
of
the
key
key
things
that
we
heard
from
those
all
that
public
engagement
and
then
we
get
into
some
of
the
recommendations.
Tom.
What
you
talk
about
this.
F
Yeah,
so,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
on,
the
growth
is
is
phenomenal,
and
what
we
have
right
now
is
a
central
staff.
That's
on
meeting
street
that
drives
there
every
morning
and
they
manage
the
department
from
there
it's
okay,
but
as
the
growth
goes,
we
feel
and
we've
seen
in
other
communities
how
important
the
link
to
their
department
is.
F
So
we
recommended
that
there
really
are
five
areas
of
the
city
of
charleston
that
need
central
management,
james
island
john's
island,
west,
ashley
and
kane
hoy
peninsula,
which
is
daniel
island
and
clements
ferry
road,
and
so
we
have
recommended
that
there
is
almost
like
their
own
director
in
each
of
these
sites
and
the
relationship
with
the
citizens
will
be
with
that
person
who's
at
that
site.
Certainly
there
will
be
carryover.
F
Certainly
there
will
be
there
will
be
people
participating
outside
their
region,
but
for
the
most
part
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
were
things
in
that
region.
Pat.
Can
you
go
to
the
next
one?
So
what's
interesting
about
the
city
of
charleston?
Is
they
do
some
core
services
really
really
well?
F
And
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
each
of
these
five
region
regions
had
facilities
in
order
to
do
the
core
services
we
want
aquatic
features.
City
of
charleston
does
an
amazing
job
with
teaching
to
swim,
but,
as
all
of
you
know,
especially
the
ones
on
this
call
today,
water
is
a
tremendous
tool
for
fitness
and
health
and
wellness.
So
we
want
to
have
aquatic
facilities
in
each
of
the
five
regions.
F
We
want
to
have
some
indoor
space
in
each
of
the
regions
for
anything
we
want
to
have
outdoor
space
and
what
we,
what
we
did
not
put
on
here
is
x
number
of
soccer
fields
x.
Number
of
this,
because
math
and
geo
equity
of
how
many
people
live
in
that
region
will
decide
the
number
so
indoor
space
outdoor
space
outdoor
court
space,
which
could
mean
tennis
court
pickleball
court
basketball,
court
trails
were
important
to
the
citizens.
F
F
I
think
covet
helped
us,
actually
it
helped
our
profession
with
people
just
wanting
to
be
outside
again
we're
speaking
to
a
group
of
people
that
certainly
understand
the
value
of
trails
and
being
outside
water
access.
We've
got
water
all
around
charleston.
We
want
to
make
sure
people
can
get
to
it.
F
Outdoor
gathering,
spaces
event,
spaces
things
like
that,
and
then
structures
for
fun
and
fitness,
which
could
be
anything
from
a
playground
to
one
of
the
things
that
rank
ranked
really
high
and
came
up
with
on
citizen
discussions
that
I
really
didn't
see
coming.
Was
people
really
like
that
equipment?
That's
out
on
trails
for
fitness
and
so
those
type
of
structures
for
outdoor
fitness
and
outdoor
fun.
F
Currently,
if
somebody
wants
to
use
a
facility
within
the
city
and
I'm
going
to
just
take
daniel
island,
for
example,
there
is
an
event
there
called
the
daniel
island
happy
hour,
5k
series
and
there's
a
series
of
five
races
and
people
come
after
work,
and
it
is
super
popular
well.
The
event
organizer
comes
into
the
city.
Stella
fruit
does
a
permit,
I
think
it's
25
and
they
go
have
the
event
there.
F
I
did
a
very,
very
simple,
quick
and
easy
performa
of
just
a
few
just
a
few
events
and
and
things
to
do
that
could
bring
the
city
in
200
000
revenue,
and
I
did
and-
and
I
think
that
is
so
low.
F
But
what
that
will
do
is
show
the
people
that,
if
you
want
to
take
the
chance
to
hire
this
person,
there
will
be
money
there
to
pay
them
and
still
make
a
enough
money
to
be
able
to
pay
for
that
that
little
wing.
We
look
at
this
position,
not
necessarily
at
the
same
level
as
these
district
managers,
but
certainly
in
the
room
in
this.
Every
discussion
with
the
director
and
the
district
managers
to
make
sure
that
when
facilities
aren't
used,
they
can
be
there
for
something
else.
A
F
I
think
we
could
definitely
definitely
wrap
up
in
the
next
two
to
three
minutes.
Okay,
even
even
me
yeah,
as
I
said
before,
this
is
going
to
cost
a
good
bit
of
money,
but
we
think
there
is
the
philanthropic
community
that
we
can
tie
into
pat
next.
F
There
are
vacant
positions
in
maintenance
and
in
the
workforce
that
have
not
been
filled.
We
strongly
recommended
that
they
fill
those.
We
strongly
recommended
a
park
ambassador
program
and
to
create
maintenance
standards.
What
the
maintenance
standards
will
do
is
not
only
be
able
to
maintain
it.
It's
going
to
give
jason
the
people
to
do
it.
F
You
got
a
partner
parks
and
services
out
there.
Charleston
county
prc
is
out
there.
Berkeley
county
schools
and
berkeley
county
developers
are
interested
in
helping
the
department
with
land
the
whole
flooding
situation
in
this
morning's
paper.
They're
talking
about
the
the
wall
and
the
dutch
dialogue
solutions
on
john's
island,
and
so
we
just
want
them
to
put
park,
features
into
all
of
that.
F
I
I
think
that's
it
and
and
we're
easy
to
find.
So
if
you
have
any
individual
questions,
we
know
this
was
not
just
our
meeting
any
individual
questions
please
reach
out.
We
would
love
to
help,
because
health
wellness
and
keeping
people
happy
is
happy
and
healthy
is
a
is
a
very
big
part
of
what
this
department's
going
to
be
doing
and
the
city's
going
to
be
doing.
A
Thank
you,
tom
and
pat
and
jason.
Of
course,
those
guys
have
put
a
lot
of
hours.
A
lot
of
days
into
this
and
they've
come
up
with
a
great
plan,
and-
and
I
really
appreciate
all
your
work
jason
anything
else
before.
A
Great
all
right!
Well,
thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
all
your
work,
so
I'm
gonna
just
kind
of
skip
to
the
community
update
for
now,
since
maggie's
gonna
need
to
leave
and
go
to
a
meeting
early
and
I'm
gonna
call
on
maggie
first
with
charleston
county
school.
Thank.
G
You
so
much
and
thank
y'all
for
being
so
kind
and
accommodating
I
apologize.
It
is
exciting
the
school
that
I'm
going
to
visit
belle
hall
elementary
school.
It
was
named
one
of
the
2021
national
ribbon
schools
by
the
u.s
department
of
education,
so
that
that's
a
really
wonderful
achievement
for
that
school.
They're
one
of
five
in
the
state
of
south
carolina
that
received
that
designation
this
year.
G
So
we
are
doing
a
little
celebration
for
them
today,
which
is
why
I
have
to
depart
early,
but
so
for
our
updates
to
to
tack
on
to
what
dr
richardson
was
saying.
We
are
launching
covet
19
testing
continuously
for
students
and
staff
in
a
variety
of
locations.
It
actually
begins
today
and
those
locations
rotate
daily.
G
At
least
this
week.
There's
there's
set
locations
that
will
kind
of
follow
a
monday,
wednesday,
friday
piece
and
then
other
locations
in
different
parts
of
the
county.
Mainly,
I
think
tuesday.
Thursdays
are
in
district
9
and
23,
which
is
like
john's
island,
ravenel
hollywood
area
on
tuesday
thursdays
and
then
with
the
testing
location
downtown
at
burke
on
saturdays
monday,
wednesday,
friday,
we'll
be
laying
in
north
charleston
and
west
ashley
and
tuesday
thursday,
along
with
hollywood
ravenel,
would
also
be
lincoln
high
school
out
in
district
one
in
the
andal
mcclellanville
area.
G
So
that's
a
really
wonderful
venture
that
we're
going
into
with
d,
hopefully
providing
some
more
access
to
everybody
in
terms
of
getting
those
rapid
test
and
pcr
tests
that
will
both
be
available
there.
There
is
a
consent
form
that
has
to
be
filled
out,
but
that
information
is
all
available
on
our
website
and
I
dropped
that
url
in
at
the
top
of
our
chat
earlier
today,
in
the
past
two
weeks,
our
board
of
trustees.
Well,
maybe,
three
weeks
now,
they
voted
on
september
20th
to
enforce
our
mass
mandate.
G
That
was
already
in
place
using
funds
that
didn't
fall
within
proviso,
1.108,
prohibition
of
use
of
state
funding
from
the
2021-22
budget,
and
so
that
enforcement
began
formally
on
september
27th
and
with
that
came
I'm
sorry
september
20th
and
with
that
came
mask
exemptions.
G
I
know
we
were
discussing
that
a
little
bit
earlier,
but
we
had
an
in-house
mask
exemption
process
where
there
was
a
form
available
and
families
would
email,
mask
exemption
charleston.k12.sc.us
and
would
provide
that
form
and
whatever
I'm
required
associated
documentation
to
have
that
request,
reviewed
and
either
you
know,
approved
or
denied.
I
believe
in
the
paper.
G
It
stated
that
we
approved
about
80
of
those
exemptions
submitted,
and
so
those
have
slowed
down.
But
that
has
been
a
process
that
we've
also
had
in
place,
along
with
the
enforcement
of
our
mass
mandate,
which
extends
until
october
15th,
but
it's
at
the
discretion
of
the
board
to
convene
and
decide
whether
to
extend
it
and
or
let
it
expire.
G
At
that
time
we
have
seen
declines
in
cases
and
our
students
and
staff
over
the
past
couple
of
weeks
about
a
53
decline
over
the
past
three
weeks,
which
is
really
great
news
and
we
hope
to
continue
trending
in
in
that
same
area,
non-coveted
related
kind
of
shifting
gears
to
our
sr3
funds.
We
have
about
121
million
dollars
still
available.
G
We
have
dedicated
about
26
million
to
hvac
and
indoor
air
quality
updates
that
were
approved
by
the
board
this
past
monday,
and
then
we
have
another
portion,
that's
dedicated
to
charter
schools
per
guidelines
about
10.
I
think
it's
about
16
million
or
so,
and
so
that
leaves
about
121
million
left
to
spend,
and
we
currently
have
our
community-based
organization
application
out
still
and
that's
where
community-based
organizations
can
submit
to
partner
with
the
school
district
for
certain
programs
and
potentially
be
recipients
of
some
of
our
s.
G
But
that
is
open
to
any
of
our
community
partners
in
the
area
who
would
be
interested
in
partnering
with
us
to
serve
those
students
who
have
been
most
severely
impacted
by
kova
19
and
experienced
academic
loss
and
looking
for
academic
recovery.
G
In
addition
to
that,
I
think
last
time,
in
our
meeting
we
had
last
month,
we
were
on
the
cusp
of
launching
our
new
kind
of
switching
back
to
covet
here,
our
new
dashboard.
That
also
has
our
close
contact,
quarantine,
numbers
and
so
now,
on
our
website.
We
have
both
our
positive
cases
and
our
number
of
students
and
staff
in
quarantine.
G
I'm
dropping
that
url
in
as
well
again,
we've,
you
know
seen
decreases
in
numbers
in
that
close
contact
piece.
So
that's
exciting,
and
you
know
we
are
continuing
diligently
with
contact
tracing.
We
have
four
temporary
full-time
staff
that
were
added
to
help
with
that
in
my
office.
We
now
have
an
office
of
translation
and
interpretation
services
that
we
got
back
in
may,
and
so
we
have
three
full-time
specialists
that
are
able
to
translate.
G
Documents
speak
directly
with
families
when
they
call
help
with
our
contact
tracers,
primarily
in
spanish,
but
also
that
department
can
also
translate
and
interpret
into
different
languages,
but
we
have
on-site
interpreters
specifically
for
spanish.
So
that's
really
great.
I
overhear
conversations
all
day
long
with
families
between
nurses
and
families
who
are
spanish-speaking
to
help
support,
getting
accurate
information
and
answer
questions
for
them.
So
that's
been
really
exciting
that
pretty
much,
I
think,
captures
everything
that
we've
had
going
on
lately.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions.
A
Any
questions
maggie
I've
got
a
question.
I
know
one
of
the
sites
you
talked
about
the
center
for
advanced
studies
in
west
ashley
and
that
site
obviously
is
in
the
city
of
charleston
last
night
when
the
which,
by
the
way,
is
a
great
facility,
great
school.
I
know
several
kids
that
are
taking
classes
there
and
it's
it's
awesome.
So
that's
off
to
a
great
start.
A
Last
night,
when
strategy
and
communications
put
out
their
full
announcement
about
that,
I
happened
to
be
at
a
high
school
volleyball
game.
There
was
people
were
excited,
there's
testing
there,
but
there
was
some
concerns
because
you
know
that
school
sits
in
the
middle
of
the
athletic
facilities
of
west
ashley
high
school.
It
sits
right
outside
between
the
football
and
the
baseball
stadium
and
in
between
the
gym,
and
it
sits
right
in
there.
A
People
were
concerned
about
sick
people
coming
where
athletes
are
hanging
at
because
they
hang
out
all
over
that
school
before
and
after
practice,
and
and
not
just
athletes
but
also
other
rotc
in
the
band
and
people
like
that
are
there.
But
they
were
concerned
about
precautions,
since
we
may
be
bringing
sick
people
onto
that
campus.
So
I
thought
I'd
ask
that.
G
Sure,
absolutely
I
don't
have
a
more
specific
answer
than
just
our
general
protocols
of
you
know
the
the
hard
requirement
of
wearing
a
mask
indoors
at
all
times
and
keeping
a
safe
social
distance,
a
minimum
of
three
feet
when
other
people
are
around,
but
that's
certainly
something
I
can
bring
up
to
our
leadership.
You
know
for
for
more
discussion
about
what
that
looks
like,
because
I
I
think
in
that
particular
location.
It
is
in
the
training
center,
which
I
believe
is
within
that
actual
building.
G
So
I
certainly
understand
that
that
concern
there,
not
certain
if
the
hours
are
after
I'd
have
to
peak
real
quick.
I
think
the
hours.
G
Oh
and
one
last
thing,
a
fun
thing:
that's
occurring
on
friday
is
lucy.
Beckham
high
school
is
going
to
finally
have
its
school
building
dedication,
as
well
as
a
congressional
establishment
ceremony
for
its
coast
guard
jrotc
program,
which
is
the
only
one
in
south
carolina
in
the
third
in
the
nation.
So
that's
really
exciting.
G
It's
a
it's
a
very
for
lack
of
a
better
word
ceremonial
ceremony
that
it's
got
a
narrator
by
a
cadet
and
a
master
of
ceremonies
and
bells
and
ruffles
and
flourishes
that
will
be
played
as
people
walk
in
it's
it's
exciting,
so
that
will
actually
be
live
stream
from
lucy
beckham.
So
you
could
go
look
up
on
youtube.
Lucy,
beckham,
high,
school's,
youtube,
channel
and
there'll
be
a
live
stream
available.
G
If
anybody
wants
to
tune
in
and
see
that
process,
it's
exciting
for
the
the
cadets
and
the
students
that
are
involved,
as
well
as
for
the
school
in
general,
just
to
finally
celebrate
being
open,
even
though
they've
been
in
operation
for
over
a
year
and
a
half.
A
A
All
right,
very
good,
let's
see
I'll
just
kind
of
I
guess
I'll
call
on
jennifer
roberts
for
community
update.
I
Good
morning,
everyone,
I
don't
have
too
much
of
an
update.
This
time
we
are
still
having,
I
mean
the
largest
amount
of
staff,
leaving
that
we've
ever
seen,
and
not
just
in
charleston
dorchester
mental
health
center,
but
across
the
state
so
bear
with
us
on.
Maybe
we're
not
going
to
be
as
quick
as
we
normally
are
to
serve
people,
but
we're
working
on
different
marketing
strategies
and
things,
but
I
know
across
the
board
we
kind
of
mentioned
it.
Last
time
got
a
lot
of
head
nods.
I
Everybody
else
is
having
the
same
problems
it's
across
several
different.
It
doesn't
matter
what
jobs
you're
looking
at,
I
don't
know
where
all
these
people
are
going,
but
they
need
to
come
back,
but
you
know
other
news
really
is
we
just
received
another
a
grant
of
additional
money
from
the
victims
of
crime
act
and
where
we're
so
we're
adding
our.
I
think
eighth
embedded
law
enforcement
position
up
in
st
george.
I
If
we
can
find
someone
to
fill
the
position,
of
course,
so
we'll
have
another
person
working
with
victims
of
crime
and
working
with
law
enforcement
in
the
community
other
than
that
I
took
a
week
and
a
half
off
and
just
got
back
from
montana.
J
I
Kind
of
all
I
know,
but
if
you
all
need
anything
as
usual,
please
email,
us
and-
and
let
us
know.
A
You
have
anything
from
musc,
no
dr
meredith
balinsky,
anything
from
roper.
J
Hey
robert
saint
francis
is
alive
and
well
doing
awesome.
We
just
like
everybody
else,
has
been
saying
the
trending
as
everything's
trending
downward,
which
is
wonderful,
but
it
still
doesn't
mean
that
we're
out
of
the
water.
This
doesn't
mean
everything's
great.
Let's
go
back
to
normal
type
of
thing,
so
I
encourage
everybody
that
when
you
do
see
trends
and
you
do
see
it
trending
downward
everybody
says
this
is
a
covered
war
and
we're
winning.
J
It
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
it
just
means
that
the
vaccinations
of
all
that's
all
that's
helping
and
what
we're
doing
we
still
have
over
about
113
in
our
hospitals
and
80
was
81
of
those
patients
are
not
vaccinated,
so
we're
still
pushing.
We
have
a
lot
of
resources
out
there
and
paul.
I
need
to
get
back
with
you
soon
about
helping
the
city
of
charleston
as
well
and
about
vaccination
spots
and
testing
spots.
We
have
changed
a
little
bit
of
all
of
our
urgent
care.
Centers
express
care
is
where
we
you
can.
J
You
can
get
vaccines
there.
You
can
get
boosters
there.
We
can
we
test.
So
it's
all
throughout
our
systems,
and
we
we
want
to
emphasize
again
that
since
cova
19
has
taken
pretty
much
mainstream
and
taking
all
the
all
the
attention,
let's
say,
of
of
healthcare
issues.
J
We
still
have
healthcare
issues,
so
we
need
to
still
come
to
our
hospitals,
we're
still
our
staff.
For
that
we
are
what
we
are
running
through,
like
jennifer's
saying
with
staffing
and
moving
around,
but
we've
we've.
We
brought
people
in
we're,
taking
care
of
all
of
our
patients
and
our
community,
so
we're
and
we're
reaching
out
and
doing
a
lot
with
our
community
benefits.
Our
community
needs
we're
still
reaching
out
and
doing
drug
take-backs
we're
doing
narcan
teaching.
J
I
myself
are
doing
that
within
the
hospital
system,
so
we're
we're
trying
to
tackle
the
other,
the
other
epidemics
that
are
still
out
there,
that
no
one's
that
we
haven't
been
talking
about
because
because
of
government
19
being
so
parliament.
So
we
really
appreciate
everything
you
do
in
this
committee
and
we're
we're
here
for
you.
So
anything
any
other
questions
or
anything
else.
When
you
I'm
sure
susan
musc
is
probably
doing
the
same
everything
so
oh,
I
just
saw
the
text
from
susan,
so
I'll.
Let
you.
C
J
A
D
Oh,
thank
you
for
letting
me
jump
in
I've
got
another
meeting
to
get
to,
but
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
update
on
the
charleston
healthy
business
challenge.
We
will
be
having
our
next
in-person
event
on
october
27th
and
we
are
excited
to
actually
focus
on
a
topic
that
we
have
not
previously
and
it
has
been
coming
up
at
musc,
and
that
is
the
issue
of
mental
well-being
specifically
related
to
by
gender.
D
What
we
have
noticed
in
some
of
the
surveys
that
we've
done
is
that,
for
whatever
reason,
I
think
we
can
all-
probably
guess,
because
of
covid
and
the
increased
demands
at
home
with
people
folks
with
children
that
women
are
are
taking
on
a
lot
more
of
the
pressures
related
to
work,
life
balance.
And
so
we
are
excited
to
address
that
topic
at
our
next
event.
A
Very
good
well,
thank
you
very
much.
Anyone
else
I
I
do
see.
Let's
see
aretha
jones
powers
name
up
there
from
feder
just
checking,
and
I
don't
see
your
face
on
there,
but
did
you
have
any
updates?
You
wanted
to
give
okay.
A
Okay,
anyone
else
with
community
updates.
I
just
certainly
don't
want
to
leave
anyone
out.
E
K
Lisa
burbidge
I'm
outside,
so
I
hope
you
all
can
hear
me
but
and
I'm
not
on
video,
but
I
wanted
to
just
to
let
you
know,
and
first
of
all
I
want
to
thank
dhec
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
run
so
many
community
programs.
Through
my
company
wellness,
five
we
are
offering
I've
got
enough
money
to
run
four
programs
on
diabetes
prevention,
and
this
is
grant
money
that
they're
getting
from
the
cdc,
and
everybody
knows
that
diabetes
is
a
comorbidity
for
covid,
and
so
this
money
is
out
there
and
they've.
K
Given
me
enough
to
run
four
programs.
So
if
you
know
anyone
who
is
at
risk
for
diabetes
and
really
one
out
of
three
americans
are-
and
they
don't
even
know
it-
this
is
a
great
program.
It's
a
prevention
program.
If
somebody
already
has
diabetes,
they're,
not
able
to
take
it.
It's
a
prevention
program
and
like
meredith
was
saying
this
is
a
the
focus
has
all
been
on
covet,
but
there's
a
lot
of
epidemics
behind
covid
and
diabetes
is
one
of
them,
so
candy
marlow
at
the
county
has
spilled
almost
two
of
my

The

but
but
it

a
wonderful

It's

C
So
I

you
to
think
about
that
and
I
want

she's
not
on

but
many
I

many
penny.
Monzaleski

my
intern

she's
one
who
did
our
minutes
this
last
last
month
and
doing
them
today?
So
we
welcome
penny
to
the
to
the
spotlight
and
she's
a
public
health
nature
at
the
college
of
charleston.
So
I'm
glad
to
have
her
on
board.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
all
you
do
penny.
You
did
a
great
job
with
the
minutes
too
thanks
so
much
so
we
did
have
on
our
agenda,
dr
kimberly
butler
willis,
to
give
us
a
report.
But
I
understand
oh,
I
do
see
her
on
here.
Okay,
we
will
go
she's
popping
on
now.
There
we
go.
K
Oh,
look
at
that.
Look
at
god!
Thank
you
guys!
So
much
sorry,
I
had
a
conflict
and
I
was
hoping
I
could
jump
back
in
paul
asked
that
I
share
an
update
with
you
guys
about
the
special
commission,
and
so
I
don't
know
if
many
of
you
know,
but
during
the
two
more
recent
city
council
meetings,
two
motions
were
made.
The
first
was
to
advance
the
recommendations
of
that
special
committee
and
the
second
was
to
make
the
the
commission
a
permanent
fixture.
K
Well,
unfortunately,
the
council
did
not
vote
for
the
permanent
fixture
of
the
commission,
but
they
did
vote
to
move
these
recommendations
forward.
So
as
a
health
and
wellness
committee,
you
guys
should
expect
to
see
the
recommendations
that
were
drafted
by
the
health,
equity
and
environmental
justice
subcommittee.
K
We
feel
like
they
are
very
solid
and
I
don't
think
of
any.
I
don't
think
there's
anything
in
it
that
you
guys
would
disagree
with,
but
I'm
interested
in
the
conversation
and
feedback.
But
one
thing
I
would
like
to
advocate
for
and
ask
you
guys
to
do
is
to
please
please
please.
If
you're
work
in
the
city
of
charleston,
I
live
in
the
city
of
charleston
jump
on
those
city
council
meetings.
K
They've
made
it
very
easy
to
participate
now
that
they're
virtual
and
please
sign
up
for
those
public
comment
sections
if
you
feel
as
though
the
city
could
really
benefit
from
having
a
commission
that
is
keeping
the
city
accountable
to
making
sure
that
equity
is
felt
from
all
people
in
charleston,
not
just
some
and
that's
truly
what
this
commission
is
there
to
do.
K
It's
seven
different
subcommittees
all
designed
for
different
sectors,
and
it's
not
a
regulatory
body,
it's
just
an
advisory
body
to
make
sure
that
our
city
is
able
and
fully
equipped
to
draft
policies,
processes,
services
and
programs
that
really
support
our
most
vulnerable
in
our
communities.
So
thank
you
guys
for
your
support
with
that.
As
you
have
conversations
with
council
members,
please
please
please
continue
to
talk
about
the
commission.
It
does
not
have
to
be
the
people
that
are
currently
volunteering.
K
It
can
be
anyone
from
this
committee
to
serve
as
share
as
that
health
and
well
as
that
health,
equity
and
environmental
justice
subgroup
leader.
So,
thank
you
guys
for
your
support
with
that
and
I'm
I'm
excited
for
more
conversation
about
the
recommendations.
C
Kevin
just
two
things:
one.
First
of
all:
congratulations
to
kim.
She
has
been
record
being
recognized
as
a
woman
to
watch
by
the
ywca
and
she
was
doing
her
recording
on
the
story
of
her
life
today
before
this
meeting.
So
we'll
look
for
something
big
in
our
community
to
recognize
kim
and
we're
very
proud
of
you.
C
The
second
thing
is
that
the
recommendations
kim
was
talking
about
are
the
ones
that
I
sent
out
in
the
with
the
minutes
today
and
if
you
will
take
your
time
and
just
go
through
those
and
read
those
they're
really
everything
we've
been
talking
about
for
the
last
couple
of
of
really
almost
last
year
or
more,
and
it's
one
that
I
think
we
can
easily
wrap
our
our
arms
around
and
take
ownership
of,
and
maybe
at
the
november
meeting,
we'll
we'll
look
at
them
a
little
more
deeply,
but
they
it's
all
about
life
expectancy
and
and
really
opening
our
communities
to
better
health
health
opportunities.
C
And
so
I
hope
you
you'll
read
them.
You'll
you'll
reach
out
either
kim
or
me
and
with
questions,
and
then
we
can
look
at
how
we
implement
them.
I
I
will
say
the
disappointing
part
is
that
we
did
not
get
the
grant
we
had
applied
for
from
the
from
the
cdc
to
to
do
our
our
work
in
the
upper
the
29405
zip
code.
C
A
Any
other
questions
before
we
wrap
up
our
meeting
and
any
any
other
anybody
else
that
I
left
out
or
anything
else.
We
need
to
discuss.
C
D
C
All
that
you
do
and
and
dr
sears
reverence
dr
sears
is
on.
I
know
that
the
faith-based
community
has
has
been
very
supportive.
I
I
didn't
know
if
she
had
anything
to
add
into
it.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
dr
sears.
Anyone
else
certainly
don't
want
to
leave
anyone
else
before
we
adjourn
here
but
well.
We
went
over
just
a
few
minutes,
but
we
did
pretty
pretty
well,
so
I
appreciate
everybody's
participation
again
you're,
so
valuable
to
the
city
of
charleston.
This
group
and
I,
on
behalf
of
the
city,
thank
you
for
all
that
you
do
and
sharing
your
expertise
and
spending
time
with
us.
It
makes
our
city
a
whole
lot
stronger
and
a
whole
lot
healthier.
A
So
if
there's
nothing
else
for
the
good
of
this
meeting,
then
we
will
stand
adjourned.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
