Thank
you
and
the
fact
that
Thanksgiving
and
the
Christmas
and
Hanukkah
and
New
Year's
in
Kwanzaa
are
coming
up
when
we
will
think
of
our
friends,
our
relatives
and
everybody
else.
As
we
take
a
moment
of
silence,.
E
Can
you
all
hear
me
now?
Yes,.
D
E
I
shared
a
screen
of
you
all,
and
maybe
that
would
have
been
something
to
talk
about,
but
let
me
try
to
scare
the
others
in
the
other
screen
here
we
go.
Can
you
all
see
this?
Yes
great.
E
See
you
all
this
morning,
thanks
for
the
kind
introduction
Stuart
as
I
mentioned,
the
mayor
called
he
had
some
good
news
overnight
and
he
may
update
you
all
on
that.
But
he'll
be
a
few
minutes
late,
it's
great
so.
F
E
Just
wanted
to
give
you
all
an
update
on
some
of
the
things
we've
been
doing
following
the
agenda.
You
see.
First
item
is
the
comprehensive
you're
going
to
integrated
water
plan.
That
was
a
recommendation
from
the
Dutch
dialogue
scene
that
the
city
should
pursue.
One
of
those
engage
in
one
of
those
when
I
came
aboard,
we
started
to
talk
with
Council
about
funding,
one
of
those
so
I.
E
Just
we
scoped
it
out
put
out
an
RFP
in
the
spring
had
a
number
of
solicitations,
councilman,
Bowden,
councilman,
seekings,
councilman,
sorry,
councilman,
gray,
councilman
seekings
or
on
the
selection
committee
is
through
other
folks,
and
a
team
was
selected
to
do
the
work.
The
project
got
underway,
end
of
end
of
August,
beginning
of
September.
E
The
team
is
still
in
sort
of
the
data
Gathering
phase,
we're
looking
at
all
the
plans
that
are
out
there
that
have
been
put
out
out
there
regionally
locally
in
the
neighborhoods,
we're
planning
with
storm
water.
Looking
at
the
data
looking
at
the
models,
it's
available,
the
models
that
are
available
so
they're
they're,
just
in
in
a
data
collection
phase
right
now
they
have
been
here
two
or.
E
Already
just
working
meeting
with
stakeholders
working
with
stakeholders
working
with
the
internal
team
and
meeting
individually
with
each
member
of
council,
some
of
those
will
be
are
scheduled
for
two
weeks
from
now.
E
Keep
in
mind,
this
is
a
water
plan
which
is
not
a
hardcore
engineering
plan
that
would
cost
way
too
much
money
to
do
that
city-wise.
This
is
a
water
plan
where
again
incorporating
all
the
the
engineering
plans
that
are
available
and
then
seeing
what
we
need
to
do
for
for
Gap
analysis
and
then
make
make
recommendations
to
council
for
that
it
is
Citywide.
E
So
we
will
look
at
canoe,
Daniel,
Island,
James,
Island,
John's,
Island,
West
Ashley,
in
which
to
Ashley
is
unique
in
some
ways,
because
we
see
that
the
water
printing
teams
that
sees
that
as
really
two
distinct
neighborhoods
in
inner
West
Ashley
and
on
outer
West
Ashley,
which
does
follow
what
the
Land
and
Water
Analysis
team
did
a
couple
years
ago
and
then
finally,
we'll
also
look
at
the
peninsula
working.
E
We
Face
here
so
Coast,
Coastal,
pluvial
and
fluvial,
so
surge
tide,
rainfall,
ground
water
and
compound
flooding.
The
groundwater
issue
clearly
is
something
that
that
most
places,
not
just
Charleston
but
most
places
in
the
U.S
need
to
study
better.
There
is
a
pretty
interesting
project
underway
in
California
in
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Area
California,
Bay
Delta,
looking
at
groundwater
they're
a
couple
years
ahead
of
us
and
some
of
the
the
projected
future
emergent
groundwater,
shallow
groundwater
flooding
impacts
are
very
substantial
and,
as
I
go
around
the
area,
I
just
want
to
say.
E
I
I
am
fairly
convinced
that
I
am
seeing
the
evidence
of
shallow
groundwater
emergence,
and
that
is
something
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
and
also
look
at
compound
flooding.
E
This
this
water
plant
will
have
a
25-year
planning
Horizon.
So
looking
out
to
2050,
you
know
2048,
2050
and
we'll
assume
18
inches
of
seat
uprise,
which
is
consistent
with
our
cfri
strategy,
update
and
other
planning
Horizons
that
this
that
the
city
uses
again.
Some
recommendations
will
be
coming
on:
land
use,
drainage,
adaptation,
policy,
prioritization
and
strategy.
So
this
is
what
we'll
see,
probably
in
a
year
from
now
again,
it
will
take
15
months
to
do
this,
so
we
anticipate
a
final
plan
presented
by
the
end
of
next
year.
2023.
E
one
of
the
things
will
be
very
important.
This
will
inform
the
zoning
ordinance
rewrite
which
we'll
get
underway
soon,
so
the
city's
zoning
ordinance
is
going
to
be
updated.
Rewritten
city
is
engaging
your
consultant
to
help
with
that.
That
should
occur
over
the
next
18
months
to
two
years.
Also,
and
then
again,
just
our
zones
of
inquiry,
it's
a
hydrologic
Basin,
so
we're
looking
at
how
water
moves
across
these
places,
looking
at
floodplain
flood
ways
and
then
also
overlaying,
the
neighborhoods
there
and
then
looking
at
our
Edge
conditions.
E
Every
every
part
of
our
city
from
Cain
Hoyt
to
John's
Island
has
certain
Edge
conditions
there,
and
what
do
we
do
with
those
areas
as
we
look
at
CW,
RIS
and
tidal
impacts
on
those,
the
team
is
led
by
black
Veach,
which
is
a
local,
which
was
a
nationwide
company,
but
they
have
Offices
here
have
been
working
in
Charleston
for
over
20
years.
They
are
the
key
project
managers
on
the
spring
Fishburn
deep
tunnel
system
that
you
see
underneath
your
Crosstown
nearing
completion,
but
they
do
a
lot
of
other
things.
E
That's
a
civil
heavy
infrastructure,
typical
engineering
company
biohabitats,
is
the
lead
for
nature-based
Solutions
biohabitats
is
a
national
environment
or
engineering
company.
Their
president
is
headquartered
here
in
Charleston,
so
it's
very
convenient
and
they
just
have
they
just
do
terrific
work,
the
Coastal
Engineering
and
the
coastal
adaptation
side
of
the
work
will
be
done
by
Mafia
nickel,
which
is
also
again
a
national
firm,
privately
held
very,
very,
very
highly
regarded
in
how
they
look
at
Coastal
processes.
E
Coastal
flood
risks,
compound
flood
risks
and
then
policy
adaptations
or
responses
there
too,
and
then
our
engagement
team
will
be
led
by
Community,
Solutions
consulting
which
is
a
local
group
and
again
we'll
be
working
on
this
for
the
next
again
15
16
months.
So
it's
the
water
plan.
E
Are
you
seeing
the
next
slide
here,
the
comprehensive
our
sorry,
our
2022
flooding
and
seat
over
ice
strategy
update?
As
you
all
know,
the
city
developed
its
first
strategy
in
2015.
updated
the
strategy
in
2019.
It
was
really
written.
The
2019
update
was
really
written
in
2018.
when
I
came
on
board.
It
was
very
clear
that
the
strategy
needed
to
be
updated
because
a
lot
has
been
done
and
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
share
that
with
folks
and
update
the
strategy
update
our
science
update
our
recommendations.
E
So
what
we've
done
is
we've
put
this
together.
This
is
a
screenshot
of
the
website.
The
storyboard
that
we're
using
this
will
not
be
a
printed
PDF.
It's
about
100
pages,
long,
there's
a
lot
of
information
in
this,
so
this
will
be
a
website
to
navigate
through
the
storyboard
process.
We're
pretty
proud
of
this.
This
will
also
allow
us
to
update
it
on
a
regular
basis,
not
every
three
or
four
years,
but
on
an
ongoing
basis.
E
So
we
are
calling
this
the
2022
update,
but
in
fact
this
will
be
the
ongoing
update
and
we
will
update
this
this
this
site,
this
storyboard
as
needed
again
once
one
every
month,
once
every
month
or
two
going
forward.
E
We
hope
to
be
able
to
present
this
to
City
Council
in
the
next
one
to
two
months.
This
was
comprised
primarily
over
the
summer
with
a
great
graduate
student
from
the
College
of
Charleston
and
City
staff.
We
did
this
all
in-house
sort
of
on
our
own
dime,
so
it
takes
a
while
to
get
through
the
editing
and
the
final
touches,
but
pretty
proud
of
it
and
you'll
see
this
pretty
soon.
E
E
The
feasibility
phase
is
done.
We've
been
working
on
that
since
2018
here
are
some
just
a
timeline
for
you
I'm
not
going
to
discuss
this.
You
all
know
what's
been
done,
but
we
do
have
a
Chiefs
report,
which
is
the
end
of
the
feasibility
phase,
that
is
when
the
chief
of
Engineers
or
the
Army
Corps
Engineers
in
Washington,
determines
that
he
agrees
with
all
the
work
that's
been
done
and
is
recommending
that
Congress
move
forward
into
the
OR
fund,
the
next
phase
of
the
project.
E
A
lot
of
work
has
been
done.
This
is
all
available.
There's
thousands
of
pages
of
work
on
the
automaker
website.
If
you're
interested
or
need
something
to
fall
asleep
to,
but
it's
there
you'll
look
at
it
keep
in
mind.
This
is
the
feasibility
recommendation.
So
it's
a
storm
start
structure
around
the
the
land,
Water
Edge
or
the
peninsula.
E
It
is
all
on
public
property,
so
there
is
no
private
property
had
to
be
taken.
The
Army
Corps
as
they
modified
the
the
plan
they
added
some
nature-based
features
into
it.
We
want
to
add
more
into
it.
There
are
some
pumps.
E
There
are
10
pumps
that
are
estimated
here
in
the
feasibility
phase
that
the
Army
Corps
would
build
and
they
would
build
those
to
deal
with
overpower
overtopping
and
impoundment.
So
just
for
your
own
purposes,
if
you
build
a
12-foot,
navda
navd
88
wall
and
you
have
a
14
NAD
88
storm
surge.
That
means
two
water.
Two
feet
of
water
is
coming
over.
The
top
of
that.
That
is
not
a
failure
of
the
structure
that
is
a
design
exceedance.
E
The
12
foot
was
set
by
the
Army
Corps
as
the
optimal
height
for
the
highest
amount
of
storm
surge
risk
reduction
for
the
lowest
cost.
That
is
a
requirement
of
federal
policy.
Highest
benefit
lowest
cost
us
that
is
good
stewardship
of
federal
dollars.
Same
time
we
may
in
the
city.
We
may
want
to
think
differently
about
optimal
height
and
Optical
design,
and
we
will,
when
we
go
forward.
E
But
again,
if
you
have
14
feet
of
water
coming
over
the
top
of
the
wall,
and
you
have
a
12
foot
wall,
you
have
to
deal
with
that
over
top
of
water
as
part
of
the
project.
So
the
Army
Corps
is
proposing
at
least
10
pumps
around
the
margin
here
to
pump
that
water
out
that
over
top
of
water.
Also,
when
you
put
such
a
structure
around
the
peninsula-
and
you
rely
upon
overlaying
drainage,
Gravity
Drainage,
across
roads
and
into
the
rivers,
not
a.
E
Because
we
do
have
some
deep
panel
systems,
we
do
have
some
overlaying
Gravity
Drainage.
You
have
you're
by
creating
this
wall
you're
creating
a
bit
of
a
bathtub,
so
you
have
to
deal
with
the
impounded
storm
water.
E
This
is
very
important
one
of
the
things
that
we
see
a
great
opportunity
to
do
with
the
Army
Corps.
E
If
and
as
we
move
into
the
next
phase
of
the
project,
the
design
phase,
this
determine
how
to
make
sure
these
pumps
that
the
Army
Corps
is
going
to
install
will
integrate
with
our
own
storm
water,
the
city's
own
storm
water
management
infrastructure
and
possibly
upsizing
those
pumps
in
a
way
that
will
create
even
more
resilience
or
more
capacity
within
our
own
storm
water
system.
These
are
things
you
do
in
the
design
phase.
E
Keep
a
reminder:
the
cost
was
started
at
1.8
billion.
Now
it's
1.1
billion.
This
would
be
cost
shared,
Federal
local,
the
city's
net
cost
on
this
is
about
250
million
dollars.
So
that
is
a
lot
of
money.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
surge
risk.
A
lot
of
information
on
that.
If
you
want
to
want
to
see
that,
so
this
is
something
we
would
do
over
10
or
12
years.
E
So
this
is
not
something
we
would
have
to
pay
250
250
million
dollars
all
at
once,
but
over
time
we
will
move
again
in
the
to
the
design
phase.
If
city
council
agrees
and
if
the
Army
Corps
gets
their
their
authorization
to
do
so,
you
just
want
to
say
very
clearly
nothing
yet
has
been
designed.
So
if
you
have
seen
an
image
saying
this
is
what
the
surge
wall
is
going
to
look
like
around
the
peninsula,
that
is
someone
else's
interpretation.
The
city
hasn't
designed
it.
The
Army
Corps
hasn't
designed
it.
E
Has
there
isn't
enough
money
in
the
feasibility
phase
to
design
anything,
so
the
design
phase
comes
next
and
that's
what
we'll
we'll
work
on
on
those
issues.
But
our
goal
here
is
to
take
the
low
battery
as
a
design
reference
and
extend
that
up
the
west
side
of
the
peninsula
and
up
the
east
side
of
the
peninsula.
E
So
again,
back
to
this
process,
Congress
has
received
the
recommendation
from
the
the
chief
of
Engineers.
We
do
have
authorization
for
the
project
to
move
into
the
pet
phase
in
both
the
House
and
Senate
word
of
bills.
The
Water
Resources
development
act
bills.
E
E
The
word
of
Bill
is
likely
to
be
attached.
It's
under
in
conference
right
now,
meaning
the
House
and
Senate
are
reconciling
their
their
two
versions.
It
is
likely
to
be
attached
to
the
defense
authorization
bill,
which
is
must
pass
legislation.
We
anticipate
a
lot
of
people
anticipate
passage
by
the
end
of
the
year.
If
that
occurs,
the
Corps
of
Engineers
will
give
the
district
here
a
green
light
to
start
negotiating
with
the
city,
a
design
agreement.
E
We
have
very
clear
goals
in
the
design
agreement
and
we
will
put
them
in
the
language
of
this
contract,
and
this
is
something
that
is
not
unique,
but
it
is
not
done
all
the
time,
but
the
city
will
do
this.
You
look
at
the
right-hand
problem
of
the
slide
very
clearly.
We
have
some
goals
to
achieve
in
in
the
pet
phase.
E
We're
specifying
them
here.
These
are
all
things
that
you've
heard
about
very
important
design
goals.
So
we
are
not
going
to
build
a
Berlin
wall
around
this
around
the
perimeter
of
the
peninsula.
This
will
be
a
sensitive
design
and
if
it's
not,
we
will
stop
the
project,
but
we
haven't
designed
anything
yet
so
we're
hoping
we
can
get
into
ped.
So
we
can
try
to
design
this
to
reduce
the
flood
risk
in
the
city
and
I'm
just
going
to
show
you
this
little
slide
here.
E
E
This
is
the
adsarc
model
output
from
September
29th
one
day
before
landfall
of
hurricane
Ian,
and
it
this
moment
for
about
a
six
to
ten
hour
period
on
late
Wednesday
evening
to
Thursday
morning,
Charleston
was
landfall
for
hurricane
and
had
that
occurred
the
model
here
this
is
the
graphical
output
from
the
model.
This
shows
what
the
surge
would
have
done.
E
It
was
anticipated
to
be
a
10
foot,
10
foot,
seven
inch,
storm
surge
and
that
would
have
been
the
second
highest
storm
surge,
Ever,
After
Hurricane
you
go
and
I
just
want
you
all
to
pay
attention.
If
you
can
see
my
my
mouse
here,
look
at
Market,
Street
and
bufane,
the
Ashley
River
is
trying
to
connect
to
the
Cooper
River
across
those
streets.
Same
thing
with
Calhoun.
E
Look
what
happens
down
here
in
South
abroad
and
in
Charleston
looked
at
the
Medical
District
get
gas
and
green,
and
you
know
parts
of
the
middle
part
of
the
upper
of
the
middle
part
of
the
peninsula.
On
the
west
side,
look
at
East
Side,
look
at
how
far
Halsey
Creek
extends
Inland
and
look
at
all
for
our
new
market.
Creek
extends
Inland,
and
this
is
just
with
the
10
foot.
Seven
mean
a
low
water
surge.
So
we've
had
a
lot
of
hurricanes
just
miss
us.
E
Do
we
have
confidence
that
we
will
continue
to
get
lucky
with
hurricane
misses
over
the
next
50
60
or
70
years?
Just
want
to
show
you.
This
is
how
serious
it
is.
We
have
to
manage
this
finally
update
Rosemont
resilience
plan,
it's
so.
E
The
3X3
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
citizens
of
advisory
committee
recommend
that
the
city
work
with
the
community
Rosemont
up
on
upper
Northwest
portion
of
the
peninsula
to
devise
a
resilience
plan
for
them
because
they
were
set
for
non-structural
surgeries
mitigation
under
the
Army
Corps
feasibility
plan.
Non-Structural
means
home
elevation.
G
E
Don't
build
a
wall
up
there.
There
are
challenges
to
do
that,
but
in
fact
Elevate
all
the
homes
that
are
that
have
flood
risk
surge
risk.
E
E
The
low
cultural
Alliance
for
model
communities,
which
is
a
regional
not-for-profit
here
they
have
applied
for
additional
funding
from
the
national
Fish
and
Wildlife
Foundation
to
support
this
resilience
plan
once
we
hear
from
nifwiff
or
they
hear
from
niffwiff
that
their
Grant
application
has
been
approved,
we
will
start
the
project.
The
project
will
be
driven
by
the
community
with
the
water
commune
team,
with
a
low
country
Alliance
for
model
Community,
their
staff
and
their
their
members,
as
well
as
City
staff.
E
Very
important
here.
This
resilience
plan
will
also
inform
the
peninsula
plan
or
the
downtown
plan
that
the
city
planning
division
is
department,
is
working
on
we'll
start
work
on
next
year
and
then,
finally,
just
one
small
update
the
Dutch
dollars
report
suggested
that
the
city
consider
restrictions
upon
the
use
of
fill
in
low-lying
areas.
E
The
stormwater
Department
had
been
having
discussions
with
various
important
stakeholders
like
how
would
and
could
we
do
this
in
the
middle
of
the
summer.
Maybe
late
last
spring
we
convened
a
group
of
these
stakeholders,
so
environmental
groups,
City
staff,
home
builders,
historic
Charleston,
Foundation,
the
Realtors,
the
Chamber
of
Commerce,
and
we
work
through
some
ideas
very
collaboratively
like
how
could
we
restrict
or
reduce
the
amount
of
fill
that's
used
to
build
homes?
E
E
E
When
you
do
that,
you
have
to
comply
with
all
new
regulations,
including
this,
and
we
have
to
work
through
how
we
would
do
this.
What
we
do
think
is
that
this
slab
on
grade
no
fill
no
fill
no
slab
on
grade
and
non-general
floodplain
ordinance.
E
We
would
have
to
work
through
with
Council
what
they
were
willing
to
accept
or
approve
regarding
substantial
Improvement
and
substantial
Redevelopment,
but
this
would
ideally
apply
at
a
minimum
to
all
new
residential
development
in
the
city.
There's
a
workshop
scheduled
with
City
Council
on
November
28th
on
this
issue.
E
If,
if
that
is
approved,
we
anticipate
following
this
transition
period
that
was
used
a
similar
trans
transition
period
that
was
used
when
the
city's
stormwater
design
standards
manual
was
adopted
in
2020.
So
it
gives
a
bit
of
a
transition,
gives
the
developers
from
the
home
builder
some
time
to
adjust
and
respond
and
then
adhere
to
the
new
regulation.
E
And
then
we
also
think
there
should
be
a
mandatory
look
back
say
two
years
after
the
adoption
of
this
ordinance
or
the
implementation
and
some
ordinance
to
see
if
there
were
some
unintended
consequences
and
then
to
see
if
there
is
a
need
or
opportunity
to
extend
this
issue
of
no
fill
to
the
500
flood
plain.
So
a
lot
of
little
things
are
underway,
but
this
is
encouraging
and
that's
my
update,
so
thank
you
and
I
will
stop
sharing
my
screen.
E
E
H
Thank
you
and
hi
everybody.
Sorry
I'm
a
few
minutes
late,
but
I
just
had
to
run
over
to
East
Cooper
to
see
the
latest
addition
to
the
tecklenberg
family.
There's
now
10
grandchildren
in
my
fold
and
Addison
tecklenburg
arrived
last
night
about
a
month
early
but
she's
in
good
health,
and
so
is
Mom
and
so
I
was
putting
together
the
crib
last
night
because
they
don't
have
the
nursery
ready.
Yet,
but
anyway,
that's
a
real
Joy.
So
anyway,
I
I
played
hooky
on
the
last
meeting
to
to
go
visit.
H
My
new
granddaughter,
but
thank
you
Dale
for
all
that
work
and
you
all
the
when
when
he
puts
out
this
update
on
the
sea
level
rise
strategy.
Let's
all
look
through
there
there's
a
an
incredible
amount
of
work.
That's
been
accomplished
over
the
last
few
years
and
much
more
to
go,
but
a
good
direction
is
being
set
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
that
water
bill
get
passed
by
the
Congress
before
the
end
of
the
year.
H
That's
every
indication
will
be
that
we'll
be
able
to
then
start
the
PED
process.
After
that,
authorization
is
complete
and
as
Dale
mentioned,
when
you
authorize
something
that's
one
step
and
then
they
got
to
appropriate
some
money
to
actually
do
any
work,
and
so,
in
addition
to
the
authorization
of
doing
the
work,
Senator
Graham
sponsored
some
appropriation
that
would
cover
the
federal
share
or
at
least
the
beginning
of
the
federal
share
for
the
PED
phase.
H
So
we're
kind
of
anxiously
waiting
for
those
approvals
to
come
through
for
the
end
of
the
by
the
end
of
the
year.
So
we
can
then
go
the
next
step,
all
right.
So
back
to
Katie.
C
You
mayor
I,
will
share
my
screen
here,
so
so,
at
our
last
two
meetings,
we
actually
talked
about
Make
Ready
codes
and
at
the
last
meeting
you
know,
Wesley
gave
a
great
presentation
back
in
May,
I
believe
and
then
in
our
August
meeting.
We
talked
about
some
of
the
strategies
and
the
this
committee
decided.
C
You
know,
let's
go
to
the
development
Community,
let's
see
what
what
their
thoughts
are
on
this
before
we
take
steps
forward,
so
Bailey
in
the
chamber
graciously
volunteered
to
set
up
some
meetings
where
we
could
actually
just
talk
with
the
development
community
and
engage
with
some
designers
and
developers
and
manufacturers
to
see
how
they
feel
about
potential
Make
Ready
codes.
C
Now,
when
we
talk
about
me
creating
codes
just
as
a
reminder,
we're
talking
about
just
enabling
making
new
construction
ready
to
prepare
a
certain
percentage
of
their
parking
spots
for
electric
vehicle
charging
infrastructure,
so
it's
not
adding
any
new
parking
requirements,
but
it's
taking
existing
spaces
and
and
allowing
for
the
infrastructure
encouraging
the
infrastructure.
So
they
can
be
electrified
one
day.
C
So
since
we've
last
talked,
we've
seen
actually
a
lot
more
investment
in
South
Carolina,
which
is
really
exciting.
We're
we're
you
can
see
the
title
here.
We
are
lagging
in
car
charging
stations,
even
though
the
industry
in
general
is
investing
heavily
in
South
Carolina.
C
So
we
talked
about
the
top
three
before
we've
seen
the
the
two
really
major
new
additions,
where
Governor
McMaster
actually
issued
an
executive
order
in
the
middle
of
October,
prioritizing
like
the
electric
vehicle,
invest
industry
and
also
adding
you
know
all
kinds
of
Workforce
Development
programs
and
a
new
position
that
would
oversee
this
at
the
state
level.
So
that
was
pretty
exciting
news
and
then
about
a
week
later
we
saw
the
BMW
announcement
for
1.7
billion.
That's
not
a
typo!
C
There,
that's
billion,
which
I've
heard
maybe
the
largest
investment
in
the
state's
history
from
business,
so
that
that's
pretty
exciting
news,
so
BMW's
part
of
that
is
going
towards
a
new
battery
client.
So
so
the
state
is
is
ahead
of
the
infrastructure.
Let's
just
say
that
so
we
talked
briefly
about
you
know
the
challenges
in
multi-family,
especially
you
know
apartments
and
in
cities.
C
Folks
that
don't
have
access
to
control
their
HOA
and
they're
sort
of
at
the
mercy
of
what
the
HOA
does
and
honestly
a
lot
of
the
challenges
have
been
Char.
Installing
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
are
the
costs
behind
the
scenes,
so
the
station
itself
is
not
very
expensive
but
to
have
the
infrastructure.
C
The
panel
capacity,
the
conduit
behind
the
charging
station,
is
really
difficult
to
go
back
and
retrofit
can
be
very
costly
and
there's
lots
of
studies
that
show
you
can
save
over
75
of
the
installation
costs
if
you
just
put
the
panel
capacity
and
conduit
in
place
before
as
you're
constructing
a
building
so
to
go
back
and
retrofit
is
more
expensive.
So
that
prompted
us
to
look
at
these
three
strategies
that
we
talked
about
last
time.
C
The
bottom
is,
you
know
installing
the
actual
station
and
then
kind
of
taking
a
step
back
on
EV
ready,
just
just
means
you're,
you
know
you're
getting
to
that
outlet
or
whatever
type
of
junction
box.
That
is
where
the
conduit's
in
place
and
then
that
first
step
BB
capable
is
just
making
sure
you
have
the
panel
capacity
there
for
it.
So
you
don't
have
to
go
back
in
and
update
that,
like
we
do
in
a
lot
of
our
parking
garages.
C
So
there's
a
lot
of
cities
that
have
these
codes
in
place.
Even
some
in
South
Carolina
I
highlighted
this
Coral
Gables
one
just
as
a
potential.
We
were
talking
about
taking
a
potential,
tiered
approach
so
having
you
know
certain
percentage
being
capable
a
certain
percentage
ready
and
potentially
a
certain
percentage
installed.
C
But
there
are
lots
of
examples
of
these
codes
across
the
country
and
we
have
them
here
in
South
Carolina.
So
this
is
an
action
item
in
our
climate
action
plan
to
consider
this
for
new
construction,
and
so
this
group
meant
met
a
couple
times
and
I
really
appreciate.
You
know
the
chamber
and
bay
leaf
effort
for
organizing
this.
We
had
really
good
discussions,
but
basically
the
development
Community.
Really
they
really
recognize
the
importance
of
this.
You
know
seeing
all
the
EV
investment
in
the
state.
C
They
recognize
that
there's
a
major
cost
savings
to
doing
it
up
front.
They
recognize
that
the
cost
to
do
some
of
this
up
front.
You
know
just
having
that
panel
capacity
and
wiring
is
very
minimal,
so
it
really
wouldn't
be
very
burdensome.
As
long
as
the
policy
we
made
wasn't
cumbersome,
they
really
encouraged
a
potential
policy
to
make
sure
it
stays
flexible,
so
their
development
Community
can
prioritize.
You
know
their
preferred
locations
for
where
these
go
based
on
what
their
development
needs
are.
C
Obviously
the
needs
are
very
different
if
you're
talking
about
you
know
a
a
multi-family
apartment,
complex
versus
a
condo
complex
first,
maybe
it's
Garden
style
apartments
that
are
spread
out
more
so
allowing
developers
to
have
that
flexibility
to
adjust
their
plans
as
as
they
best
see
fit,
and
then
ensuring
that
our
permitting
process
is
making
sure
that
what
we're
doing
is
very
efficient
on
the
city's
side.
So
so
that
was
the
basic
recommendation
from
this
group.
C
We
said
we
would
bring
it
back
to
this
committee
today
and
if
this
committee
likes
how
this
is
moving
forward,
the
potential
Next
Step
could
be
to
draft
a
policy
and
then
put
that
back
out
to
our
development
community
and,
of
course,
this
committee
again
to
gather
more
feedback
on
the
specific
requirements
and
making
sure
that
you
know
a
policy
is
in
line
with
what
the
development
Community
is
looking
for.
So
there
were
a
couple
other
folks
at
these
meetings
that
are
part
of
this
group,
so
I'll
stop
there.
G
Yeah
absolutely
thank
you
mayor,
thank
you,
Katie,
and
thank
you
to
this
entire
committee
for
agreeing
to
bring
this
to
the
development
Community
the
business
Community
before
we
move
forward
with
next
steps.
I
think
we
were
really
pleased
to
be
included
on
the
front
end
of
this
and
I
think
the
entire
development
community
that
was
present
at
these
meetings
is
really
looking
forward
to
next
steps
being
able
to
review
on
that
actual
ordinance,
language
and
I
know
we
were
happy
to
learn.
G
A
lot
of
our
developers
are
already
including
a
lot
of
EV
charging
stations
as
an
amenity
in
their
new
buildings,
so
something
they're
already
doing
and
I
think
as
Katie
said.
As
long
as
it's
not,
you
know,
cumbersome
and
offers
some
flexibility
I
think
we're
happy
to
move
forward
with
this.
I
Yeah
I'll
jump
in
here
feel
free
to
to
step
in
as
well.
If
you
have
something
to
add,
yep
I
want
to
stress
that
again
for
bringing
us
in
early
on
this
process.
Really
it
really
helps
craft
some,
some
good
policy.
We
were.
We
were
able
to
bring
folks
that
are
setting
this
up
to
give
some,
like
some
accurate
cost
assessment
of
what
this
is
going
to
be
doing
for
single
family
homes,
which
I
feel
like
that
was.
I
Our
specialty
here
was
to
show
that
there
is
a
cost
benefit
there
and
that
it's
already
being
offered
at
the
production
level
for
development
in
a
lot
of
cases.
They
see
this
is
kind
of
something
coming
down
in
the
next
few
years,
so
fully
endorse
the
idea
for
us
to
gather
a
little
bit
more
of
that
information
on
making
a
good,
workable
solution
for
this
in
terms
of
policy.
Moving
forward,
terrific.
H
H
Terrific
all
right
so
we'll
look
to
receive
that
back
from
you
next
meeting
and
then
I
don't
mean
to
put
you
on
the
spot
Catherine,
but
in
the
Cog
kind
of
also
leading
a
separate
effort
to
think
about
public
charging
stations
in
the
region,
and
this
is
more
on
the
private
side.
B
Yeah
we
one
of
our
staff
members,
has
been
working
with
some
State
and
Regional
groups
just
looking
at
funding,
so
that
we
can
kind
of
move
forward
on
doing
a
regional
infrastructure
charging
infrastructure
plan,
at
least
for
our
region.
There's
some
that
are
going
on
up
in
the
upstate
I,
just
wanted
to
say,
Upstate
and
up
towards
Rock,
Hill,
Charlotte,
Area
and
so
and
they've
been
coordinating
with
the
state
as
well.
So
we're
pursuing
that
great.
H
Terrific,
so
I
was
very
pleased
that
Governor
McMaster
gave
us
the
executive
order
recently.
I'll
just
put
it
this
way
when
BMW
it
spends
1.7
billion
dollars,
people
listen
and,
and
it
makes
it
kind
of
real.
Doesn't
it
so,
let's,
let's,
let's
all
get
on
board
and
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do.
I,
I,
I
I,
know
we're
going
to
see
that
the
private
Market
is
going
to
take
care
of
itself
a
little
bit
as
as
Bailey
indicated.
H
Even
the
home
builders
are
starting
to
add
these
as
amenities,
the
wiring
for
as
an
amenity
for
future
homeowners
if
they're
thoughtful
and
it
probably
brings
value
to
their
product.
So
some
of
this
is
going
to
take
care
of
itself,
but
you
know
I
I,
think
from
a
policy
point
of
view.
It's
it's
as
long
as
we're
flexible
and
thoughtful
that
that
that
we
have
something
that
that
makes
sure
that
we're
we're
preparing
for
the
future.
D
Mr
Mayor,
yes,.
D
I
will
add,
I
wasn't
going
to
say
anything
but
I
will
add,
I,
think
the
key
since
they
attended
one
of
those
sessions
is
flexibility
and
I.
Think
everyone
agrees
that
we
probably
need
some
procedures
now,
which
probably
will
disappear
in
five
or
ten
years,
because
by
that
time
everyone
will
realize
that
it
has
to
happen.
So
it's
the
word
is
flexibility
in
developing
the
ordinance
or
whatever
we
need
to
do.
Thank.
H
You
good
buzzword,
all
right
Katie
did
we
have
anything
else
officially
to
present
I'd
see
we
have
a
public
comment
period,
but
I
don't
see
anybody,
but
us
on
the
meeting.
C
Yeah
I,
we
do
have
nine
attendees
I'll
I'll
just
wrap
up
that
section
so
as
as
you
brought
up
there's
a
couple:
different
efforts
happening
for
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
and
it's
important
that
we
take
a
layered
approach
to
this.
It's
not
really
a
one-size-fits
all.
So,
thankfully
we
have
the
Cog
leading
and
effort
at
the
regional
level
to
look
at
publicly
accessible
charging
stations
that
will
look
at
our
city,
parking,
lots
and
City
garages
too,
but
that
will
help
us
leverage
resources
across
the
region.
C
So
we
can,
you
know,
spread
out
and
share,
share
capacity
and
funding
to
help
implement
this.
That
plan
will
also,
if
we
can
get
once
we
get,
that
plan
approved.
That
will
put
us
in
a
really
good
position
to
apply
for
federal
funding
opportunities
that
came
from
the
bil
and
the
IRA
that
could
potentially
provide
a
majority
of
the
funding
to
implement
that
plan.
So
that
would
be
huge.
So
it's
really
important.
We
get
that
plan
going
I'm
very
thankful
to
the
Cog
for
leading
that
effort.
C
Also
so
at
the
state
level,
there's
efforts
happening
to
to
install
charging
infrastructure
every
50
miles.
Basically,
on
on
our
major
highway
corridors
throughout
the
whole
country,
so
the
state
DOT
is
leading
that
effort.
Their
plan
was
recently
approved
by
the
federal
government
last
month
and
they
will
be
embarking
on
a
process
bringing
in
a
consultant
next
year
to
embark
on
a
process
to
actually
choose
the
locations
for
these
stations
and
they
will
be
inviting
all
kinds
of
Partners
and
stakeholders
to
be
part
of
that
process.
C
So
it's
great
to
see
the
state
leading
on
that
national
network
level.
It's
great
to
see
the
Cog
leading
on
the
regional
Network,
and
then
we
also
have
you
know
this
make
ready
code
for
the
private
development
happening
and
then
the
fourth
is
looking
at.
You
know
our
our
city,
our
city,
Fleet
and
our
Fleet
transition
plan,
and
how
do
we
prioritize
infrastructure
for
city
fleet?
So
all
four
of
those
efforts
are
happening
simultaneously
and
they're
they're
all
important.
D
Two
things
Mr
Mayor
one
in
about
a
week
and
a
half,
Katie
and
I
are
doing
a
tour
of
the
County
Recycling
Center.
We
thought
it
would
be
a
great
idea
to
present
to
this
group
if
this
group
would
like
us
to
try
to
plan
with
the
county
a
tour
of
the
recycling
center.
D
So
if
you're
interested
in
doing
that
right
now
in
the
chat
room
just
say,
interested
and
Katie
will
collect
those
names
and
we'll
do
a
doodle
or
something
and
figure
out
when
in
in
the
near
future,
we
can
plan
a
guided
tour
of
the
resilience
and
sustainability
advisory
committee
to
the
County
Recycling
Center.
So
right
now,
if
you're
interested,
putting
interested
and
Katie
will
collect
those
names.
D
The
second
item
is
I
was
privileged.
This
morning
before
this
meeting
to
participate
in
the
public
session
of
the
flood
stat
meeting
the
flood
stat
is
a
group
put
together
by
the
mayor
of
History
staff
really
to
increase
the
city's
resilience
to
flooding,
which
is
the
mayor's
number
one
priority
in
in
our
area,
and
this
morning
we
we
had.
D
We
had
our
storm
water
manager.
I.
Give
a
tremendous
update
on
what's
happening
with
drains
and
drainage
and
all
those
things
that
happened
within
the
city
and
then
our
own,
that
was
Matt
Fountain
and
the
entire
Rehabilitation
of
roadside,
open
drainage
and
and
the
intricate
process
that
it
that
it
involves,
and
then
Katie
did
a
whole
presentation
on
this
number
of
her
priorities
which,
including
the
mayor's,
adopt
the
drain
program
and
even
the
fire
department
has
adopted
some
drains
and
other
various
agencies
are
doing.
D
That
and
of
course,
Katie
went
on
with
reducing
carbon
pollution.
I
talked
about
the
bike
bicycle
and
the
all
the
issues
with
the
bicycling
and
the
23
budget
requests
and
then
charging
stations
which
we
just
talked
about,
but
it
it.
It's
really
admirable
that
the
community,
the
city's
departments,
get
together
to
not
only
share
ideas
but
to
in
probably
provoke
a
good
amount
of
thinking
among
and
between
them.
So
maybe
in
the
future,
I
know
they're
doing
one
internal
meeting
a
month
and
then
the
next
month
will
be
a
public
meeting.
D
So
maybe
we
can
get
information
out
to
this
group
Katie
when
the
next
public
component
of
that
they
can
get
on
Zoom,
because
it's
really
admirable
to
know
what
how
the
city
departments
are
working
together
towards
the
strategies
and
action
plans
for
each
one
of
the
Departments.
So
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
share.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Stuart
and
thank
Tracy
for
pulling
together
what
we
call
our
stat
committees,
flood
stat,
being
one
of
them
and,
as
you
just
described,
we
we
realize
that
to
have
a
a
true
impact
on
any
goal
that
it's
more
than
just
one
city,
Department,
that's
normally
involved,
and
what
we
try
to
do
is
identify
with
each
major
goal,
all
the
Departments
that
are
involved
and
get
them
all
together
on
a
regular
basis
and
think
about
the
things
that
they
do.
That
could
make
a
difference
for
that.
H
For
that
goal,
and
certainly
protection
from
flooding
is,
is
a
big
one.
But
it's
it's
really
coming
along
and
I
I
think
it's
torn
down
some
silos
in
our
bureaucracy,
and
you
know
and
created
more
collaboration
and
and
whenever
that
happens,
it's
a
good
thing.
F
Good
afternoon,
everyone
or
morning
still
just
wanted
to
say:
November
15th
is
America
recycles
day
and
a
bunch
of
us
are
working
together.
The
city,
the
county,
the
College
of
Charleston
MUSC,
we're
working
together
to
put
together
a
program
called
why
Recycling
and
waste
reduction
are
still
important:
Alec
Cooley
who's,
a
national
recycling
expert
and
Christina
moskis
who's.
F
A
local
recycling
expert
with
our
County
Recycling
Center,
will
be
on
hand
to
give
us
more
information
on
that
topic,
and
you
can
ask
questions
so
I'll
get
out
the
information
on
how
to
join
the
event
soon.
H
H
Okay,
anything
else
for
the
go
to
the
order.
Thank
you
all
for
all
your
efforts,
we'll
be
back
to
you
next
time,
with
a
real
ordinance
on
the
electric
vehicle
infrastructure
and
I'm
sure
other
good
updates.
Y'all
have
a
have
a
great
and
beautiful
day
in
Charleston.
All.
