Description
City of Charleston Committee on Ways and Means 5/25/2021
A
The
may
25th
2021
ways
and
means
committee
is
now
called
to
order,
and
I
will
call
on
councilmember
mitchell
to
give
us
the
invocation,
councilmember
mitchell.
B
Let's
bow
our
heads
right
now,
my
my
heart
is
very
heavy
and
with
all
the
shooting
and
the
killing,
that's
going
wrong
in
our
community
and
I'm
just
asking
god
to
come
into
our
midst
and
come
and
help
us
along
the
way.
Because
a
lot
of
time
we
are
lost
and
we
need
the
guidance.
Now
we
are
losing
so
many
about
even
our
young
people-
and
I
just
this
morning
just
been
out
this
morning
with
another
shooting
until
early
this
morning
and
lost
another
young
person
and
another
one's
in
the.
B
So
we
are
asking
god
to
come
into
our
midst
and
give
us
some
insight
of
some
of
the
things
we
need
to
do
to
try
to
save
some
of
our
young
people
here
and,
like.
I
always
tell
people
it's
not
about
black,
not
about
white.
It's
about
saving
our
young
people
from
whatever
is
happening
in
the
community
and
some
of
the
older
doubts,
because
we
don't
know
what
they
can
end
up
being
the
near
future.

Councilman.
C
C
Make
sure
you
get
the
button
on
the
committee
on
real
estate
yesterday
afternoon
at
2
30.,
we
had
several
items
for
discussion
and
recommend
for
approval.
The
first
item
was
request
for
authorization,
the
mayor
to
execute,
on
behalf
of
the
city,
the
first
amendment
to
the
transfer
agreement
between
the
city
and
jjr
development.
C
C
C
This
also
was
to
provide
for
the
erection
of
15
rental
apartments
and
to
relocate
the
navigation
center
at
this
property,
as
as
well
and
joan
is
also
president
to
answer
any
questions
we
may
have
concerning
this.
The
committee
recommended
unanimously
for
approval
of
item
b
item
c
was
the
approval
for
a
second
amendment
to
the
management
agreement
between
the
city
and
22
west
edge
matt
frolic
is
here
is
not
with
us.
I
don't
see
matt
present
that
also
was
recommended
for
approval.
C
As
well
unanimously,
item
d
was
request
for
authorization
to
may
execute
a
permanent
easement
between
the
city
and
the
commissions
of
public
works.
This
was
to
address
the
wastewater
tunnels
shaft.
This
is
the
work
done
by
our
colleague,
councilmember
keith
waring,
and
the
mayor
on
this
shaft
to
be
developed
and
matt
fountain.
As
president
asked
any
questions
we
may
have
concerning
this
particular
permanent
easement.
C
Then
the
last
item
was
a
request
for
the
mayor
to
execute
a
purchase
for
zero
canal
street.
This
was
for
the
stormwater
department
used
for
long-term
drainage
protection
of
lockwood
boulevard
for
forty
three
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
That
also
was
approved
unanimously
as
well.
I
would
move
items
a
b
c
d
e
it
for
approval
by
this.
E
You,
mr
chairman,
I'm
just
wondering,
mr
chairman
of
real
estate,
how
the
price
was
arrived
at
for
zero
canal
street.
How
do
we
arrive
at
forty
three
thousand
five
hundred
dollars?
The.
C
A
Any
further
questions,
discussions,
council,
member.
D
Okay,
thank
you.
I
I
think
I
was
just
gonna
say
that
councilmember
seekings
there.
There
was
also
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that
particular
question
and
topic
council,
member
and
they're.
During
due
diligence,
it's
gonna
be
worked
out
if
that
property
has
the
value
that
the
county
assesses
it
at.
So
I
think
we
can
be
skeptical
at
this
point.
A
A
C
F
We
are
approving
a
drainage
project
on
in
cooperation
with
the
town
of
james
island.
We
we
really
set
a
precedent
that
you
might
hear
more
about
later
in
our
public
works
committee
report
to
further
and
speeding
up
the
construction
of
the
low
battery
seawall
by
combining
really
phases
three
and
four
into
one
phase,
and
so
we're
proceeding
with
the
engineering.
F
For
that
and,
as
was
noted,
one
of
our
purchases
of
property
was
for
a
permanent
home
of
the
navigation
center,
which
is
so
important
in
our
city
for
providing
services
to
those
who
are
experiencing
homelessness.
So
I
know
we
go
through
this
agenda
kind
of
quickly,
but
there's
actually
some
good
stuff
here.
Thank
you.
