City of Charleston Ways & Means Meeting - February 11, 2020

Dear
Heavenly
Father,
we
thank
you
for
this
day.
We
thank
you
for
this
moment.
We
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
serve.
We
ask
that
you
always
help
us
think
of
our
residents
first,
their
needs.
We
ask
that
we
do
everything
in
your
name
and
we
ask
that
during
this
week
as
we
celebrate
Valentine's
Day,
we
tend
to
use
our
heart
more
than
other
weeks
and
we
ask
Lord
that
we
just
take
the
moments
of
this
week
and
we
use
our
heart
as
big
as
we
do
this
week.
Every
week
of
the
year.

E
E
I
know
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
last
year
in
the
budget
committee
that
it
didn't
get
through
the
budget
last
year,
but
it
really
probably
needs
to
this
year
with
all
the
things
that
capital
projects
are
doing
and
all
the
contracts
that
they're
handling
for
them
to
have
as
a
resource
legal
counsel
in-house
would
be
really
helpful.
So
I
just
think
we
need
to
think
about
that
going
forward
to
make
sure
and
I
see
this
probably
already
response,
and
they
are
not
so.

You,
mr.
chairman
and
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
the
mayor
and
mr.
Hall
has
done
a
number
of
amazing
things,
not
Lisa,
which
has
put
this
whole
Park
in
the
province
of
the
city,
and
he
has
been
a
caretaker
of
that
Park
extraordinary.
Is
there
all
the
time
and
he
has
been
on
the
phone
working
this,
and
so
thank
you
boy,
you've
done
I.
Do
if
you
don't
mind
and
I
should
have
thought
about
this,
when
you
called
me
and
I
apologize,
I
didn't
I.
E
Just
have
a
couple
questions,
if
you
don't
mind
and
because
it's
a
little
bit
different
than
Moultrie,
this
is
going
into
an
endowment
where
we're
putting
a
hundred
thousand
in
so
it's
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
down
endowment
is
there?
Is
there
a
board?
How
does
it
all
how's
it
all
gonna
work
going
forward
if
we're
gonna
use
this
as
a
model
I'm
just
sort
of
interested
in
how
that
endowment
is
gonna,
be
managed
and
how
that
money
is
gonna,
either
be
seed
money
distributed.
Is
there
a
long-term
plan
for
that
I
hope
you
don't
mind.
G
E
G
Effort
lots
of
people
have
participated
in
this
in
our
our
driving
idea
is
that
the
private
sector
needs
to
help
the
public
sector
and
collaboratively.
We
can
not
only
create
good
things,
but
help
maintain
them.
The
theodora
Park
fund
is
held
by
the
BNY
Mellon
charitable
gift
fund,
which
is
a
large
nonprofit
managing.
G
Funds
for
nonprofit
use
it
is
that
the
disbursement,
the
income
from
the
fund
is
directed
to
Charleston,
Parks
Conservancy,
which
has
a
partnership
with
both
the
city
and
Theodore.
We
have
a
group
of
Theodore
Park
stewards
who
are
people
in
the
community
who
are
interested
in
the
park
and
have
a
commitment
to
it
long
term,
and
so
the
Conservancy,
as
you
all
know,
works
with
many
of
the
parks
throughout
the
city
and
they
raise
their
own
money.
G
It
parks
near
them
so
that
we
would
create
this
endowment
so
that
whatever
happens
ups
and
downs
of
either
the
city
for
what
it
does
or
the
parks
Conservancy
for
what
it
does
can
be
leveled
out
and
and-
and
this
part
will
always
be
maintained
at
the
highest
quality
in
perpetuity,
and
our
commitment
is
to
raise
80
80
percent
of
the
money,
and
we
have
we've
got
those
commitments,
and
so
it's
it's
a
20
cent
per
dollar
investment
for
the
city,
and
we
we
hope
it
serves.
Everybody
very
well.
Thank
you.

The
example
of
Theodore
apart
was
the
first
example
that
we
use
with
County
Council
members
to
come
and
take
see
what
could
be
done
with
a
small
parcel
of
land.
Just
absolutely
beautiful
anybody
that
hadn't
been
there.
Please
go.
I
actually
walked
through
there's
recent
and
Saturday,
but
so
you
get
up
in
such
a
modest
way
and
explain
something
magnanimous
but
I
mean.
Hopefully
this
is
a
model
that
would
go
for
I.
A
Agree
and
I
very
thankful:
it's
a
park,
that's
very
peaceful,
it's
very
calming,
and
it's
beautiful,
so
I
really
appreciate
it
and
and
hope
that
we
can
in
fact
use
an
exam
as
an
example
for
future
pocket
parks
in
the
city
time
for
the
question
all
in
favor
so
moved
report
on
the
committee
from
real
estate
y'all.
It
took
a
long
time
to
know.
A
H
Good
very
good
meeting
we
had
two
items
on
our
agenda
for
tonight
for
consideration
almost
authorized
the
mayor
to
execute
a
Memorandum
of
Understanding
between
the
city
and
the
Gilyard
Management
Corporation,
so
that
some
holes
can
be
dug
drilled
through
certain
parts
of
the
building
to
allow
cable.
So
CBS
can
televise
the
democratic
debate.
Cbs,
waimea
broadcasting
I
know
it's
all
before
your
time
and
that
got
approved
so
that
whatever
were
nobly
done
to
become
somewhat
permanent,
so
that
for
future
use
and
telecommunications
have
would
be
available.
H
The
second
item
that
we
discussed
was
to
authorize
the
apostle
Greenbelt
funding
on
the
John's
Island
Park.
This
is
a
weapon
and
one
quarter
acres
of
land.
Mr.
Collinsworth
can
give
us
a
little
more
details
about
a
pedestal.
It's
to
apply
for
the
Greenbelt
funding.
To
obtain
this
eleven
point,
four
acres
that
will
be
adjacent
to
the
existing
park.
We
don't
have
any
specific
plans
to
the
use
of
this
land,
but
it'd
be
plans
that
we've
got
some
sketches
on.
That
would
fit
very
nicely
with
it
golf
familiar
but
done
moving
subdivision.
H
F
It's
in
bed
high
dollars
huge
economic
impact
that
certainly
could
have
gone
to
larger
cities.
Elsewhere,
it's
come
downtown.
Let
me
tell
you
a
big
coup
for
the
gilja
to
have
secured
that
so
I
didn't
want
that
to
go
on
notice.
It
just
didn't
happen.
I
mean
it
was
a
lot
of
arm-twisting
to
get
that
done
and
we're
very
appreciative.
Let
us
now
go
happen.
