Description
City of Charleston Ways & Means Meeting - July 16, 2019
A
I'm
gonna
call
this
meeting
of
the
Committee
on
ways
and
means
to
order
today's
July
16th.
It
is
past
our
start
time.
I
apologize
for
that
4:59
as
Madame
clerk
just
reminded
me.
So
we've
got
a
long
agenda.
We're
gonna
do
our
best
to
to
move
through
this
rapidly
and
if
we
can
I'm
looking
around
council
Mercy
keys.
If
you
would
provide
us
with
an
indication,
please
invocation
please.
A
B
B
C
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
I,
just
have
a
question:
nobody's
more
excited
about
the
forensics
center
to
come
into
district
2,
which
we're
in
district
2.
By
the
way,
however,
when
I
was
looking
through
that,
as
I
got
down
to
item
261
on
there,
it's
showing
that
we're
going
to
be
storing
this
for
eight
months
and
the
cost
on
that
it's
gonna
be
eleven
thousand
three
hundred
and
I
get
I.
Don't
know
who
to
ask
on
that,
but
I
wanted
to
get
some
clarification.
Do
we
have
to
purchase
this
eight
months
ahead?
D
Sir,
we
we
don't
have
to
right
now,
but
there
actually
is
a
cost
savings.
We
sat
down
with
B
FRC
and
the
vendor
and
we
went
through
if
we
were
to
purchase
it
now.
There
actually
is
a
cost
savings
because
of
inflation
and
escalation
on
the
product
for
the
next
several
months
during
construction.
So
there
actually
is
a
cost
savings
by
purchasing
it
now.
Okay,
so
we
will.
A
I'm
just
gonna
make
a
quick
comment
that
I
I'm
not
a
fan
of
after
the
fact
approval
items.
However,
in
this
case,
I
am
glad
we
were
able
to
remove
these
boats,
so
I'm
gonna
vote
in
favor
of
it.
I
would
just
ask
as
we
move
forward,
do
our
best
to
eliminate
the
ability
to
have
to
do
after
the
fact
approvals
with
this
body.
I
would
appreciate
it
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
those
opposed.
Let's
have
it
item
five
as
a
fire
department.
A
That's
for
a
grant
for
12,500
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
as
opposed
guys
have
it
item.
Six
is
stormwater
approval
for
a
grant
application.
50/50
match
125,000
a
discussion
to
get
that,
although
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
those
opposed
now
is
have
it
item.
7
is
a
resiliency
to
approval
2019
SEC
yeah,
yes,
customer
Sheila.
C
E
I
am
not
sure
exactly
what
the
plan
is
as
far
as
distribution
goes.
I
know
that
this
is
funding
for
some
roundtable
discussions,
some
actual
sample
bags
to
be
passed
out
and
did
to
be
distributed,
like
you
said,
as
well
as
some
signage
educational
materials
and
all
that
type
of
thing,
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
about
the
plan
and
I
know.
Katie
McCain
would
have
more
information
on
that
for
you,
so
I
can
definitely
get
back
to
you
on
that.
Okay,
thank.
A
B
F
Yes,
sir,
we
actually
are
planning
to
a
partner
with
Sea
Island
habitat
and
so
they're,
the
youth
that
are
drawn
from
the
zip
codes,
where
they
have
the
highest
dropout
rates,
which
would
include
some
of
the
North
Charleston
zip
codes.
But
we
also
are
looking
to
include
the
islands
that
the
students
that
are
out
here
as
well.
F
Would
be
dictated
by
where,
where
they
do
the
training,
so
we
would,
we
would
be
constrained
by
the
tried
attempt,
but
the
grant
will
include
funding
for
transportation
so
that
the
children,
the
students
would
be
taken
to
their
courses
or
vice
versa.
If
they
were
in
a
name
in
needing
to
be
taken
to
the
construction
site.
So.
G
H
G
I
I
F
Well
from
multiple
sources
from
many
sources,
they
actually
recommend
in
the
grant
getting
a
hundred
students
in
hopes
of
serving
fifty,
so
we
would
recruit
them
through
school
district.
Adult
education,
partnership
with
SC
works
real,
really
all
of
those
partners
that
would
have
those
populations
of
students.
I
I
F
A
Further
discussion
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
I
was
opposed.
Yeah
I
was
have
it
items
number
9,
10
and
11
or
all
office
cultural
affairs,
except
in
the
grant,
or
an
order.
We'll
take
all
three
in
discussion
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
those
opposed
yeah
as
habit
item
12
as
a
mayor's
office
on
children,
youth
and
families.
Its
approval
accept
the
Youth
Service
America
agency,
grant
of
2000.
J
A
K
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
second
to
give
a
shout
out
to
this
department
and
a
situation
that
arose
here
in
district
10
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
Everybody
knows
how
hot
it
is
during
the
summers
in
Charleston
and
I
got
a
call
from
a
sweet
81
year
old
lady
who
didn't
have
any
air
conditioning
and
just
begged
and
begged
could
I.
K
Please
help
didn't
know
where
to
go
at
first,
so
I
taught
a
councilmember
Gregory
who
gave
me
some
really
good
insight
and
I
ended
up
getting
in
touch
with
Dominion
energy,
and
then
I
ended
up
speaking
with
Palmetto
cap
and
eventually
the
city
in
between
those
organizations.
We
were
able
to
buy
her
a
brand
new
central
unit
because
her
complex
would
not
allow
a
window
unit,
so
we
were
able
to
put
together
$4,500
and
new
unit,
and
that
was
a
really
really
beautiful
thing.
K
A
A
Let
me
start
down
here
real
quick,
Cosmo,
Lewis.
Well,.
B
And
I
hope
you
will
continue
to
work
hard
to
move,
to
move
this
project
forward,
who
we
could
sell
this
flooding
problem
in
that
particular
in
particular
corridor
between
Lime
Street
and
Yugi
Street,
because
I
always
say
it's
one
of
the
biggest
public
safety
issue,
habits
in
the
city
of
Charleston,
and
we
don't
get
this
problem
so
well.
We're
gonna
continue
to
have
caused
flooding
of
cars.
B
H

N
Thank
you
very
much,
mr.
chairman,
we're
tackling
Berg
and
members
of
City
Council
and,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
it's
it's
an
honor
to
be
before
you
tonight
on
this
most
important
matter
and
I
want
to
begin
by
thanking
all
of
you
for
the
strong
of
stratten
support
that
you've.
Given
the
International
african-american
museum,
a
brief
story
that
I
think
is
meaningful
here.
The
short
Cathedral
in
short,
France
construction
began
on
it
in
the
late
12th
century
and
there's
a
story.
N
So
what
we
have
the
opportunity
to
do
meta,
collenberg,
chairman
white
members
of
City
Council
and,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
as
we
have
the
opportunity
to
create
a
museum
of
extraordinary
importance
not
just
to
our
community
into
our
region
but
to
our
country,
for
what
we
all
know
is
that
these
are
stories
we
do
not
know.
We
don't
know
African
American
history,
we
it
hasn't
been
taught
and
it
must
be
presented
in
this
extraordinary
Museum
on
those
most
moving
and
telling
site
I
want
to
thank
so
many
people
that
have
been
working
on
this
and
I'll.
N
Do
it
quickly
a
board
of
directors
and
two
members
of
the
Board
of
Directors
are

any
other
board
members
who
are

I
want
to

the
2,200
donors

200
volunteers,

who

for
their
support.
N
A
county
government,
in
addition,
obviously

the
city
of
Charleston
and

support,
and
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
just
quickly
thank
the
city
staff
that
and
those
who
have
a
direct
involvement
in
the
museum
and
others
quickly.

and
as
I
do
so.
Thank
and
commend
Michael
Moore
Michael
Moore
is
the
chief
executive
officer
of
the
International
African
American
Museum.
N
N
Often
the
person
we
made
fundraising
calls
around
the
country
and
around
the
state
he's
the
most
punctual
person
of
ever
known,
he's
15
minutes
ahead
of
schedule,
which
is
just
how
he
approaches
things
be
ready
over
and
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
duty
and
has
provided
his
thoughtful
guidance
and
and
creative
guidance
in
every
aspect
of
the
museum.
It's
designed
its
its
exhibits,
its
content
and
and
he
will
introduce
his
colleagues
on
the
staff
but
I
just
want
to
publicly
command
Michael
Moore
he's
the
first
chief
executive
officer.
N
O
Not
sure
quite
what's
to
follow
that
other
than
just
thank
you.
It's
it's
been
a
great
great
honor
to
work
with
with
the
City
Council,
the
mayor
and,
of
course,
with
Mayor
Riley
on
a
on
a
daily
basis
in
the
interest
of
time.
I
just
want
to
very
quickly
on
say
that,
of
course
underscore
all
of
the
thanks
that
me
O'reilly,
had
you
know,
he's
been
thinking
about
this
and
working
about
this
for
over
19
years,
and
so
we're
very
grateful
for
his
leadership
and
stick-to-itiveness.
To
make
this
happen
just
really
quickly.
O
I
was
joking
with
Lonnie
bunch
once
it
took
that
museum,
the
National
Museum
of
african-american
history
and
culture
took
them
a
hundred
years
to
get
built.
So
it's
a
testament
to
a
o'reilly's
fortitude
that
we're
on
a
little
bit
of
a
faster
schedule
so
really
quickly.
I
just
want
to
have
we've
got
some
staff
and
volunteers.
If
you
all
could
just
please
stand,
you
just
want
to
acknowledge
them.
Our
team
is
growing
and
we
are
grateful.
O
The
other
thing
I'd
like
to
do
just
very
briefly-
you
all
have
likely
seen
all
of
the
renderings
they've
been
sort
of
in
place
for
a
while,
but
we
have
some
fresher
views
of
our
landscape
and
the
the
really
beautiful
memorial
gardens
that
will
surround
the
museum
project.
So
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
run
through
these,
and
then
I've
got
a
literally
a
60
second
video,
just
just
showing
our
construction.
O
So
we
can
move
on.
So
our
Landscape
Architect
is
Walter
hood,
who
has
created
just
very
beautiful
and
meaningful
installations
all
around
the
world,
and
ours
will
be
certainly
no
different.
It
will
be
a
beautiful
park
in
the
sense
that
it
will
be
open
during
the
times
that
Charleston
parks
are
open.
People
can
come
and
experience
that
it
set
as
a
separate
experience
than
the
than
the
museum,
but
it
will
also
be
very
meaningful.
O
This,
for
example,
is
a
water
feature
of
that
will
commemorate
those
lost
in
the
Middle
Passage,
of
which
historians
say
that
a
quarter
to
a
third
of
all
who
left
the
African
continent
were
lost
at
sea.
So
we'll
have
a
very
powerful
piece
to
commemorate
that
a
steal,
a
garden
which
is
a
an
ancient
commemorative
item
that
will
we'll
be
there.
O
As
many
of
you
all
know,
we
did
some
archaeological
work
a
number
of
years
ago
and
found
the
remnant
of
a
the
foundation
of
a
warehouse
on
the
site
where
some
particular
tragedy
occurred,
where
about
eight
or
nine
hundred
enslaved,
Africans,
essentially
froze
to
death
died
and
so
we'll
commemorate
that
space.
These
are
tall
8-foot,
highly
polished,
granite
walls
with
some
kneeling
figures
throughout
that's
the
back
side
of
that
wall,
where
there
will
be
inscriptions
commemorating
that
history.
O
Sweetgrass
basket
sort
of
motif
just
again
for
people
to
sit
to
contemplate
to
relax,
but
also
that
that
is
connected
into
the
history
here
in
the
low
country.
So
we
are
endeavoring.
It's
going
to
be
a
very
beautiful,
beautifully,
framed
sort
of
experience,
so
we've
got
as
I
said,
just
a
60
second
or
so
video
that
will
actually
illustrate
the
construction
process.
I
want
to
reiterate
that
what
we
are
coming
for
approval
today,
the
the
construction
process
is
actually
two
comes
in
two
phases.
O
The
first
is
really
just
the
construction
of
the
box,
the
core
and
the
shell.
The
second
will
be
at
some
point
in
the
future
will
be
actual
approval
for
the
financing
of
that
the
exhibition's,
the
actual
things
that
will
make
up
the
museum
experience.
So
this
tonight
is
just
for
the
box
and
if
we're
ready,
we
could
show
that
video.
O
N
M
Mr.
Chairman
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
about
this
museum
I
had
the
opportunity
in
April
to
travel
with
a
contingency
of
Trance,
Oh
Dean's
to
the
Legacy
Museum
in
Montgomery,
Alabama
and
part
of
that
museum
included
the
history
of
race
relations
and
slavery
throughout
the
southeast
of
America,
and
it
contained
part
of
that
a
lynching
Museum
on
the
commemoration
of
those
who
were
lynched
after
the
Civil
War
after
the
19th
1940s.
M
There
was
a
very
moving
museum
and
it
had
a
tremendous
impact
on
those
of
us
who
were
present
for
that
and
I.
Just
couldn't
help
think
mayor
Raleigh
as
to
the
impact
that
this
museum
is
going
to
have
on
our
community.
It
was
interactive
like
some
of
the
things
I
think
we'll
have
in
this
museum.
It
is
just
so
critically
important,
mayor,
Raleigh
and
mr.
Moore.
That's
the
work
that
y'all
have
done
and
your
board
has
done
and
I
just
wanted
to
publicly
say.
M
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
all
have
done
on
this
and
there's
absolutely
accurate.
The
impact
that
this
is
going
to
have
on
our
community
after
it's
completed
and
when
we
have
an
opportunity
to
walk
through
this
and
experience,
there's
total
package
of
what
this
is
going
to
transform
Charleston
into
is
a
a
beacon
of
sorts
of
information
in
awareness.
I
just
wanted
to
wait
that
comment.
Thank
you
all
for
doing
that.
M
P
Thank
You
mr.
chairman
kudos
have
gone
around,
but
it's
been
a
wonderful
experience
to
watch
the
next
best
thing
come
to
Charleston.
How
do
you
prepare
for
that?
I
mean
from
Ground
Zero
to
the
fly
through
presentations
that
you
saw
today.
The
team
that's
been
assembled
frankly,
a
second
to
none.
The
batons
that
have
been
passed
almost
for
the
last
19
years
from
one
group
to
another
has
gotten
us
to
this
place
today.
P
Obviously,
we
look
at
the
I
would
say
to
leap,
follow
it
today
with
this
vote,
but
think
of
all
the
community
involvement,
positive
and
negative
over
the
last
19
years
and
frankly,
those
who
say
that
couldn't
be
done,
as
matter
of
fact,
was
a
lot
more
than
on
the
early
onset.
Then
certainly
the
day
that
we
celebrate
carrying
this
to
the
next
level
certainly
has
been
a
relay
and
it
will
be
a
relay
continuing
as
we
go
forward.
It's
not
over.
P
It's
just
really
beginning
in
a
large
way,
so
I
commend
everybody
who's
put
time
in
the
way
of
volunteering,
I
mean
today
we
look
at
today's
volunteers,
but
you
going
when
you
think
about
almost
two
decades
and
it's
really
two
decades
of
volunteers
from
the
community
near
and
far
we
talked
about
dr.
Lambeth,
Lonnie
bunch
who
pioneered
the
african-american
museum
in
DC,
who
I
don't
know
if
you
saw
in
the
paper
recently
was
selected
to
be
over
all
of
the
museums
at
the
Smithsonian.
P
He
says
this
is
our
Ellis
Island
Charleston
South
Carolina,
so
it's
just
not
going
to
be
a
city
as
state
or
regional.
It's
really
going
to
be
an
international
and
the
term
international
didn't
come
from
the
group
that
sits
around
the
board
or
the
staff
that
leads
us
today.
The
term
international
came
from
a
group
that
was
around
the
table
ten
or
more
years
ago,
so
I
thank
everybody.
Who's
had
a
role
to
play,
I
think
those
who
will
continue
to
have
a
role
to
play
and
I
think
the
community.
P
Q
Q
Process
that
that
makes
the
I
would
say,
especially
the
descendants
of
the
people
that
came
through
your
Ellis
Island
illustration.
Councilmember
wearing.I
I
wrestled
with
what
I
have
known
as
items
of
request
or
or
even
concern,
and
objection
that
have
been
put
forward
to
the
to
the
museum
community
and
I.
Really.
Don't
think
that
that
anything
that
we're
making
decisions
about
today
is
is
riding
roughshod
over
some
of
those
two
concerns
and
the
opportunities
to
be
making
them
real
and
worked
through
as
the
months
in
the
end.
The
years
go
on.
Q
Q
I,
don't
think
anything
that
we're
going
to
decide
today
is
going
to
take
away
from
opportunities
to
make
this
museum,
something
that
we
can
all
believe
in
and
I
really
would
just
like
to
say
that
I'm
really
sorry
that
I
have
to
be
the
one
to
say
it.
I,
because
I'm
the
new
kid
on
the
block
in
the
city
and
on
the
council
for
sure.
But
I
have
heard
people,
you
know,
say
things
out
of
their
heart
and
their
long-standing
opinions
and
I
just
feel
like.
Q
We
need
to
put
it
out
there
to
say
that
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
honor.
All
of
the
hard
work
of
the
museum
community
led
by
Mayor
Riley
for
these
19
years
and
we're
gonna.
Take
a
yes
vote,
but
we
don't
expect
that
that's
going
to
be
a
smoothing
over
of
things
that
need
to
continue
to
be
worked
through.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
E
A
Any
further
discussion
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
that
was
opposed
and
one
abstention
now,
as
have
it
item
22
a
stormwater
approval,
Memorandum
of
Understanding
between
the
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
and
city
of
Charleston.
Any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
opposed
as
habit
item
23.
Is
the
ordinance
establish
Morris
Drive
reader?
Excuse
me,
okay,
23
is
deferred.
Do
we
need
to
well
I
guess
we
just
move
right
on
all
right
item
24
stormwater
management
approval
spring
fishburne.
A
K
Hope,
I,
don't
look
like
customer
seeking
I
just
wanted
to
you
know
let
everybody
on
City
Council
know
we
discussed
this
in
public
works,
but
this
it
was
a
negotiation
and
this
number
is
a
lot
lower
than
it
originally
was
so
kudos
everybody
involved
for
negotiating
and
helping
us
with
some
cost
savings.
Lord
knows
we
need
to
save
every
penny
we
can
on
this
project.
Thank
you
all
right.
A
R
Very
briefly,
I
want
to
thank
council,
member
and
chairman
wearing
for
moving
this
through
from
our
last
council
meeting.
This
was
something
that
was
important
to
everybody.
We
put
it
on
a
fast
track.
I
think
the
result
is
good.
We
cannot
move
forward
with
what
is
really
a
really
important
project
that
has
to
do
with
a
lot
of
things
the
Europe
all
here
tonight,
an
interested
in
which
is
water,
so
we're
moving
forward
important
large-scale
projects.
So
thank
you
for
making
sure
this
got
through
appreciate
it
all.
A
Right
any
further
discussion
I
will
make
a
brief
comment
about
this
item.
This
is
an
item
that
was
basically
accomplished
or
work
that
was
done
that
wasn't
approved
nor
appropriated
by
this
body.
I
think
we
started
this
conversation
somewhere
around,
maybe
in
November
of
last
year
now
I
do
appreciate
mr.
fountain
and
others
working
hard
to
get
this
number
down.
A
However,
I
still
am
NOT
going
to
support
it
and
for
one
sole
reason-
and
that
is-
is
that
it
is
the
responsibility
of
any
staff
member
to
come
to
this
body
to
have
funds
appropriated
for
anything.
It
doesn't
matter
what
it
is
if
it
needs
to
be
appropriate,
it
needs
to
come
to
this
body
and
it
didn't
and
I'm
not
going
to
support
the
efforts
to
be
able
to
pay
pay.
This
contract
I'm
sure
it's
gonna
get
approved,
but
just
know
moving
forward.
A
This
is
not
how
we
operate
and
the
one
should
think
that
this
is
okay,
and
if
there
are
other
items
out
there
similar
to
this,
they
need
to
start
coming
forward.
Now,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
those
opposed
yeah
just
have
it
item.
25,
a
stormwater
management:
this
is
approval
spring
fishburne.
This
is
for
amendment
number
19,
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
those
opposed
and
yeah
as
habit
item
26
is
the
legal
department
ordinance
to
amend
the
fee
schedule
of
a
building
and
trade
permits
hereto
incorporated
within.
A
He
said
it
I
by
providing
an
amendment
for
definition
of
revenue
fee
by
providing
a
new
fee
and
plan
of
vision.
Review
I
can
read
the
whole
thing
if
you
want
no
all
right
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
and
the
eyes
have
it
item.
17
is
an
audit
committee
report.
Councilmen
were
seeking.
Excuse
me,
27
I,
apologize
Thank.
R
You,
mr.
chairman,
the
Audit
Committee
met
July
15th
at
3
o'clock
in
City
Hall.
We
received
a
report,
as
requested
by
this
council
unanimously
from
our
internal
auditor
mr.
Majer
neck.
He
gave
us
his
report
orally
and
in
writing.
We
have
all
received
a
copy
now
of
that
report.
We
also
heard
from
our
outside
counsel
mr.
Michael
birkstead,
who
also
gave
us
a
report
in
writing.
The
committee
did
not
complete
its
work.
We
are
going
to
reconvene
next
Thursday
at
3
o'clock
in
City
Hall,
to
take
questions,
comments
from
Council
members
and
a
motion.
R
A
G
You,
mr.
chairman,
these
items,
I'm
just
gonna,
run
down
him
real
quick
for
the
council
item.
A
was
a
proof
5
to
0
BC,
where
both
the
others
were
approved.
5
to
0
item
D.
There
was
one
negative
vote
on
that,
but
it
was
approved.
Item
II
was
four
to
zero
with
one
recusal,
and
did
you
sign
that
for
okay?
Thank
you
item
F
was
approved
five
to
zero.
Also
we
had
we
had
five
annexations,
the
first
one
was
approved,
the
next
four
they
were
deferred
and
then
on
the
the
last
sheets.
G
G
I
was
the
item
that
kind
of
came
up
last
meeting
and
was
voted
down
that
that
contract
was
voted
down,
but
it
was
reported
in
the
paper
that
it
was
approved
by
the
real
estate
committee.
Actually,
it
was
disapproved
by
the
real
estate
committee
ways
and
means
and
City
Council.
So
we
just
want
to
be
sure.
The
record
was
clear
on
that:
we
went
into
executive
session.
We
received
two
legal
of
opinions
on
those
two
items
that
are
listed
there.
G
We
approved
another
one
contract
kind
of
the
same
thing,
but
it's
going
to
be
paid
out
of
the
affordable
housing
and
the
housing
budget,
and
it
has
to
do
with
some
affordable
housing
property
that
was
part
of
that
low
line
acquisition.
So
all
of
those
were
approved
and
the
last
night
of
them
was
deferred.
It's
our
move
that
the
committee
report
be
accepted
as
presented.
K
R
For
purposes
of
tonight,
I
see
two
three
four
five
were
deferred,
I,
take
it
to
some
date.
Has
that
been
discussed
when
that's
going
to
be
just?
Let
me
ask
one
other
question:
I'll
pass
this
down.
Does
that
also
coincide
if
we
deferred
the
PUD
as
well?
Is
that
all
going
is
that
off
as
well
tonight,
because
we
got
a
lot
of
people
here?
I
think
want
to
know
about
that.
G
Four
items
had
to
do
with
the
annexation
to
the
property:
that's
going
to
be
in
the
PUD.
The
PUD
was
going
to
is
going
to
be
deferred
or
is
deferred,
and
we
were
not
willing
to
NX
it
until
it
was
all
put
together.
If
we
did,
if
we
voted
it
down,
then
they
would
have
had
to
start
all
over,
so
we're
just
asking
for
both
of
them
to
come
back
together,
so
that
we
can
consider
it
as
a
whole.
G
J
A
L
Chairman
I
did
want
to
know
a
few
items
here
for
our
guests,
who
were
here
this
evening.
I
know
we
were
late
getting
started
and
we
kind
of
rushed
through
these
items,
but
I
just
wanted
to
point
out.
A
couple
of
things
that
we
did
pass
tonight
is
importantly,
getting
the
drainage
project
going
at
the
corner
of
huger
and
King
Street,
which
councilmember
Lewis
already
noted.
L
This
is
a
great
accomplishment
and
a
move
in
the
right
direction,
but
I
particularly
want
to
point
out
number
14,
which
was
our
approval
to
proceed
with
the
Department
of
Transportation
LP,
a
contract
to
improve
hugie
Street,
it's
kind
of
related
eldress,
some
drainage,
but
also
streetscape
improvements.
I
wanted
to
thank
councilmember,
Waring
I
can't
see
him
the
way
we're
lined
up
here
this
evening.
L
He
met
with
me,
along
with
representative
from
the
d-o-t
just
last
week,
and
we've
been
having
the
discussion
for
some
time
about
the
use
of
the
mitigation
funds
that
had
been
approved
way
back
in
2006,
and
we
came
to
an
agreement
with
the
d-o-t
that
a
portion
of
those
funds
up
to
a
million
dollars
will
be
used
for
affordable
housing
and
so
on.
To
thank
councilmember
Waring
for
joining
me
on
that
effort.
L
Number
22
on
the
agenda
by
the
way
was
approval
of
a
memorandum
that
will
allow
the
low-battery
seawall
project
to
proceed
in
the
near
future.
So
that
was
an
important
item
and
finally,
as
was
noted,
the
rather
historic
passage
for
the
approval
for
the
african-american
museum.
Thank
you
all
right,
very.
