C
Mr
trump,
I
just
don't
think
we
should
let
this
pass
without
some
comment
on
the
american
rescue
plan.
The
very
first
item
is
this:
repeal
of
the
property
tax
increase
of
3.7
million.
I
am
presuming
that
was
what
we
passed
in
case.
We
were
not
going
to
get
these
funds
and
we
could
increase
our
millage
in
the
event,
and
so,
as
promised,
we
are
repealing
that
property
tax
increase
because
the
funds
did
come
through
and
we're
saving
our
taxpayers
pro
the
equivalent
of
3.7
million
dollars
in
in
total
tonight.
C
A
B
B

All
in

say:
aye
aye
item
13.,

13,

any

the
eyes:
have
it
item
15
move
14.,
it
is

isn't
it
15
15.
B
B
Second,
any
discussion
all
in
favor
say
I
I
the
eyes:
have
it
item
seventeen
stormwater
management
approval,
the
spring
fish
burns
phase,
four
moved
improperly
seconded
any
discussion
on
item
17,
if
not
all
in
favor,
say
aye
the
eyes
have
it
item
18,
storm
water
management
approval
just
just
that
we're
clear
in
this
one.
This
one
also
mayor
and
somebody
correct
me.
This
also
includes
the
money
for
the
central
park,
drainage.
B
D
D
This
is
a
life
and
death
issue.
Literally
I
mean
we
need
to
get
as
many
children
comfortable
in
the
water
as
possible.
It's
very
very
important.
We
then
discussed
a
rental
agreement
with
the
point
hope
presbyterian
church
over
at
the
daniel
island
rec
center
in
the
amount
of
33
000
a
year
and
on
the
fly
our
mayor
teklenberg
identified
this
as
new
revenue
for
perhaps
funding
some
additional
swim
instructors.
So
we're
making
things
happen
in
real
time
and
that
of
course,
was
approved.
D
Then
we
discussed
the
children's
museum
downtown
and
the
ongoing
efforts
to
improve
that
building
and
I
think,
there's
ongoing
violent
agreement
between
the
city
and
the
museum
regarding
the
need
to
do
this.
It's
just
a
matter
of
means
how
we
best
get
there.
So
we
ended
up
deferring
that
matter
for
more
information
and
more
coordination,
sort
of
to
figure
out
the
right
way
to
strike
this
balance.
D
Without
the
city
relinquishing
title
to
the
property,
then
we
approved
a
joint
use
agreement
and
a
quick
claim
deed
with
the
charleston
county
school
district
regarding
hampstead
square.
So
we're
going
to
clarify
those
issues
over
in
the
east
side
to
everyone's
benefit.
Then.
Finally,
we
approved
a
ordinance
authorizing
the
mayor
to
to
enter
into
an
agreement
with
the
charleston
water
system
regarding
the
west
ashley
greenway,
and
we
had
a
good
discussion
about
that
that
passed
unanimously.
D
D
B
D
B
C
B
A
A
Number
six
is
further
improvements
to
the
greenway,
which,
together
with
the
lease
amendment
that
we
approved
at
real
estate,
shows
a
real
commitment,
if
I
may
say,
to
improving
the
greenway
and
both
include
our
partnership
with
charleston
water
service.
Importantly,
on
number,
six
charleston
water
service
approved
sixty
thousand
dollars
to
go
to
that
expense.
A
Lastly,
allocating
11
million
dollars
y'all
to
finish
this
forest
acres.
Drainage
project
is
a
big
deal.
It's
been
a
long
time
coming.
The
public
works
committee
and
others
have
worked
on
it
a
long
time.
Admittedly,
it's
a
little
higher
than
we
had
hoped
and
cost,
but
all
infrastructure
projects
have
been
seen
increases,
but
the
important
thing
is
we're
going
to
get
this
thing
finished.
Finally,
and
it's
covers
about
a
350
acre
drainage
basin,
part
of
west
ashley,
so
it's
a
big
step.
A
E
That's
right,
I
voted
on
it.
My
second
month
on
council
I've
been
on
council
now,
almost
11
and
a
half
years.
I
voted
on
the
bond
that
funded
this,
that
2012
stormwater
bond
and
it's
now
finally
being
bid
out.
So
that
should
be
a
lesson
to
all
members
of
council.
When
you
work
on
a
drainage
project,
you
got
to
be
able.
You
got
to
have
tenacity
to
hang
in
there,
so
it
was
the
neighbors
from
east
and
west
oak
forest.
E
My
father,
I
had
the
pleasure
of
voting
on
it,
but
frankly
they
did
the
work.
So
I
appreciate
you
all
joining
in
you,
mr
mayor,
you,
mr
chairman
of
ways
and
means,
and
all
council
members
who
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
over
the
last
11
and
a
half
years
to
bring
this
to
the
starting
line.
So
we
can
say
ready,
set,
go!
Thank
you
and.
B
It
was
in
my
district
in
2011
2000.
That's
why
I'm
thanking
you
too.
Thank
you
anything
else
to
be
brought
before
council.
If,
if
you
just
indulge
me
from
one
minute,
though,
I
really
mayor
and
council
would
like
to
thank
our
capital
projects
and
parks
for
what
they
did
for
the
susie
jackson,
freedom,
memorial
garden
at
68,
calhoun
street,
unbelievable
piece
of
work
and
design
by
our
staff,
they
met
their
deadline
before
the
deadline.
B
Okay
and
the
park
is
now
officially
open,
and
I
would
strongly
recommend
that
you
enter
the
park
from
calhoun
street
and
walk
down
the
path
of
forgiveness
as
you
get
to
the
susie
jackson,
freedom
garden.
Again,
I
really
want
to
thank
jason,
his
staff,
the
library
the
county.
I
mean
I
can
go
on
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
players
that
it
took
to
make
this
happen
thanks
again,.
