[5. AGENDA REVIEW]
UM, UH, SO WHERE WOULD THE APPROPRIATE PLACE TO PUT THAT ITEM? UH, I WOULD ASSUME IT WOULD BE AFTER THE CONSENT AGENDA AS THE FIRST AGENDA ITEM.SO IT WOULD BE ITEM NUMBER 10.
IS THAT ACCEPTABLE TO EVERYONE? OKAY.
UM, I HAVE WRITTEN DOWN FORT FREDERICK AND WHEN WE GET TO THAT, WE'LL, UH, ALICE, IF YOU WILL, AGAIN, STATE IT CLEARLY SHARON.
UM, THE, UM, UH, RECOGNITION OF MS. WHITE, UH, THAT WILL BE DONE VIRTUALLY THIS EVENING, MR. MCKELLEN.
THAT'S AT THE FULL COUNCIL AT THAT'S AT THE FULL COUNCIL.
SHE'LL BE ON PERSON IN THE, UH, UH, THE ASSEMBLY ROOM WITH ME WHILE COUNSEL, MEMBER, MYSELF READING THE PROCLAMATION.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS DECIDED SHE WASN'T GOING TO DO THAT CHANGE.
UH, WHEN WE GET TO THE, UM, LIAISON REPORTS, UM, UH, FOR THE COMMITTEES WILL, UM, FINANCE, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND NATURAL RESOURCES WEIGHING IN ON THE CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS, PLEASE.
[00:05:01]
UH, IS THERE ANY OTHER QUESTION THAT WE HAVE REGARDING THESE ITEMS THAT WILL BE ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA FOR EITHER ACTION OR CONSENT? ISN'T THERE ANYONE MR. RODMAN? YEAH.UH, UH, TWO THINGS MR. CHAIRMAN, UM, RELATIVE TO FINANCE AND PUBLIC FACILITIES, SINCE WE'RE CHANGING CHAIRS, UH, EITHER MARK AND I CAN DO THEM OR THE PRIOR CHAIRS CAN DO THEM, WHICH MAY MAKE SENSE BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE FAMILIAR WITH THEM AND THAT'S FINE.
UM, WE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE THEM WEIGH IN.
UM, SECONDLY, UM, I WANNA, UM, I WANT TO PULL AWAY THE TALK ABOUT THE TAX ANTICIPATION NOTE, THE SECOND ITEM UNDER FINANCE, AND, UM, TALK ABOUT THAT.
SO YOU WISH TO HAVE THAT ITEM REMOVED FOR A DISCUSSION BY ITSELF? YES.
MR. CHAIRMAN, UM, SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE UNDER PUBLIC FACILITIES OR ACTUAL NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE.
SO WHEN WE GET TO THOSE, I THINK IT STARTS AT NUMBER 12 THROUGH 16 ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.
I'LL BE PREPARED TO DISCUSS THOSE OR MENTION THEM.
UH, YES, THEY, THEY, THE AGENDA HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY CHANGED SO THAT THEY WERE BROKEN OUT.
SO 12, 13, 14, 15, AND 16 ARE UNDER RESOURCES.
SO THE ONLY A CONSENT AGENDA ITEM THAT WILL BE CHANGED WILL BE THE SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO ISSUE A TAN.
UH, AND UNDER THE CONSENT AGENDA, ITEM NUMBER FOUR, AND NUMBER NINE, ITEM NUMBER FOUR, THE ELEMENTS OF RICHARD STEWART AND OLIVIA YOUNG TO THE ACCOMMODATIONS TAX BOARD IS NUMBER FOUR.
UM, JUST WANNA MAKE A COMMENT.
SO IF WE CAN, IF I CAN DO THAT AT THAT TIME, I CAN DO IT BEFORE THEN.
UH, UNDER THE REPORTS I SU I WOULD ASSUME THAT YOU COULD CERTAINLY WEIGH IN WHATEVER YOU SAY.
I, I THINK THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
AND THEN ITEM NUMBER NINE, THE FIVE-YEAR DOPE, UH, DIRT RE UH, PAVING PROGRAM, RIGHT? OH, YOU WOULD WISH TO HAVE A DISCUSSION OF THAT.
I LIKE TO REPORT, OR I CAN DO THE SAME THING AT THE SAME TIME ON BOTH OF THEM.
UM, I WOULD THINK THAT, UM, UNDER THE COMMITTEE REPORTS, IF YOU WISH TO VOICE ANYTHING REGARDING THAT AND LEAVE THEM ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
AND I WILL MAKE, UH, A NOTE THAT YOU WILL, I WILL CALL ON YOU.
UM, WHEN WE WERE DOING THE REPORTS, IS THERE ANY OTHER ITEM REGARDING, OR ANY OTHER CONCERNS REGARDING THE COUNCIL AGENDA ITSELF SEEING NONE, THEN THAT IS THE COUNCIL AGENDA UNDER NEW
[6. NEW BUSINESS]
BUSINESS.UM, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS ANY ITEMS OF NEW BUSINESS? ALL RIGHT.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS COME TO MY MIND THAT, UM, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO DEAL WITH IS THE PARLIAMENTARIAN.
UH, I WOULD LIKE TO RETAIN HELEN MCFADDEN AS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR TO THE FOLLOWING SERVICES TO BUFORD COUNTY, UH, AND THE COUNCIL SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT WILL BE LISTED IN A RETAINER AGREEMENT.
NUMBER ONE, TO PROVIDE LEGAL SERVICES AND ADVICE REGARDING COUNCIL AGENDA AND COUNCIL MEETINGS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA'S FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACTS AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS AS MAY BE NECESSARY AND PROPER FOR THE CONDUCT OF MEETINGS.
NUMBER TWO, TO REVIEW COUNCIL AGENDAS IN ADVANCE OF MEETINGS TO ADVISE COUNSEL ON ANY ISSUES ON THAT, A REVIEW AND TO ATTEND COUNCIL MEETINGS VIRTUALLY TO ADVISE COUNSEL ON MATTERS, WHICH MAY TRIGGER FOYER CONSIDERED DURING THE SAME AND THREE TO PROVIDE PARLIAMENTARY ADVICE BASED UPON ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER TO THE CHAIRMAN OF COUNTY COUNCIL BEFORE DURING, AND IF NECESSARY
[00:10:01]
AFTER MEETINGS OF THE COUNTY COUNCIL, THE RATES FOR THESE SERVICES WILL BE 125 PER HOUR FOR THE PRE-MEETING SERVICES AND $250 PER HOUR FOR SERVICES RENDERED DURING THE CONDUCT OF MEETINGS.THIS CONTRACT WILL BE FOR A PERIOD OF THREE MONTHS, AT WHICH TIME IT WILL BEGIN ON JANUARY 25TH OF 2021.
IT WILL GO FOR THREE MONTHS ENDING APRIL 26TH, 2021.
AND IF SO, DESIRED WITH MUTUAL CONSENT, WE WILL RENEW THE CONTRACT.
UM, MS. MCFADDEN IS A MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA BAR WITH MCFADDEN'S PARTICULAR AREA OF PRACTICE IS IN PUBLIC MEETINGS AND APPLICATION OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS TO THE SAME.
THIS INCLUDES THE APPLICATION OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA'S FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT AND OTHER LAWS, WHICH APPLY TO PUBLIC MEETINGS.
IN ADDITION TO PRACTICING LAW, MS. MCFADDEN HAS EXPERTISE IN LEGISLATIVE PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURES.
SHE IS A PROFESSIONAL REGISTERED PARLIAMENTARIAN WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF PARLIAMENTARIANS.
SHE IS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF PARLIAMENT, TERRY LAWYERS, AND THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF PARLIAMENTARIANS, UH, UNDER OUR PER TUMOR CORE.
IT IS APPROPRIATE FOR MR. GREENWAY AS OUR INTERIM COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO PROVIDE HER SERVICES TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND TO OUR COUNTY.
AND THAT WILL BE, UM, AN ITEM THAT, UH, UNDER OUR PROCUREMENT LAWS.
MR. GREENWAY CAN DO ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE WE GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, IF I MIGHT MISS THE CHAIRMAN, UH, MR.
UM, UH, CHAPTER ONE, PARAGRAPH D OF OUR RULES AND PROCEDURES SAYS THE CHAIRMAN MAY APPOINT ONE MEMBER OF COUNCIL TO SERVE AS PARLIAMENTARIAN, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T DOES NOT SAY THAT WE HAVE A PROFESSIONAL PARLIAMENTARIAN FOR THE COUNCIL MEETINGS.
AND SO, UM, UH, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS HER WORKING FOR YOU, I DON'T THINK THAT'S, UM, THAT'S APPROPRIATE.
I THINK THAT, UH, UNLESS YOU WANT TO AMEND THE RULES AND I'D BE HAPPY TO, TO, UH, HELP YOU MAKE THE WORDING OF THAT, UM, FOR EMOTION, IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO MAKE IT.
BUT RIGHT NOW, THIS DOESN'T SEEM LIKE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS SOMETHING THAT'S ALLOWED BY OUR RULES.
UH, I DISAGREE WITH YOU, BRIAN, BUT I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT BECAUSE IT'S LOOKING FOR, READ IT AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THIS IS VERBATIM FROM OUR RULES.
IT SAYS CHAIRMAN, THE CHAIRMAN MAY APPOINT ONE MEMBER OF COUNCIL TO SERVE AS PARLIAMENTARIAN, CORRECT? IT DOESN'T SAY IT.
I HAVE TO, IT JUST SAYS I MAY APPOINT A COUNCIL MEMBER.
IS THERE ANYTHING IN THERE THAT SAYS THAT YOU CAN'T DO THIS, MR. CHAIRMAN? NO.
ALL RIGHT, MR. RODMAN? UH, YEAH, I, I WAS, I WAS LISTENING TO ALL THE TIMES THAT THE PROBLEM MATERIAL WOULD BE, UH, THERE, UH, TH TH DID WE FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT COST IS FOR THREE MONTHS? IT SOUNDED AWFUL BIT LIKE A BIG NUMBER.
NO, THE, THE COUNCIL, THE PARLIAMENTARIAN IS ONLY GOING TO BE AT COUNCIL MEETINGS.
JUST THAT, JUST THAT COUNCIL MEETING, CORRECT.
SO WE DON'T, WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THEM AT THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS OR THOSE TYPES OF THINGS? NO, NOT NECESSARILY JUST COUNCIL MEETINGS.
AND WOULD THAT BE JUST THE PRIMARY MEETING IT'S SIX OR WOULD THAT INCLUDE, LIKE THIS AFTERNOON? WE HAVE TWO AND A HALF HOURS.
I WOULD THINK WE'D JUST DO THE COMMITTEE, THE BIG COUNCIL, BECAUSE PARLIAMENT, RIGHT? NO.
UM, THAT'S ONLY MY CONCERN IS THE COUNCIL MEETINGS.
I, UM, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO.
AND, UM, AS FAR AS RUNNING OUR MEETINGS AND MAKING SURE I'M MEETING ALL THE LEAKS SEVERAL, ET CETERA, AND BRINGING ON A PROFESSIONAL PERSON AT THIS TIME, UM, TO CONDUCT OUR MEETINGS OR HELP BE THERE TO FACILITATE OUR MEETINGS, I MAY, I MAY GET LOST IN THE SHUFFLE.
[00:15:01]
UM, WHAT WOULD REALLY HELP ME AND TO BE A BETTER COUNCIL MEMBER, IF YOU WOULD BRING THIS PERSON ON, IN A WORKSHOP OR SOME SORT AND HAVE ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THIS WORKSHOP, THEY WILL HAVE HEARD A REVIEW, A COUPLE OF OUR MEETINGS TO SEE WHAT NEEDS TO BE STRENGTHENED IN SOME OF THE AREAS OF PARTICULAR THAT WE ARE BOGGED DOWN WITH AND HELP US GO THROUGH THAT SO THAT WE BECOME ALL BETTER.COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM, REALLY HELPED ME, BUT FOR HER TO BE THERE AND TO OBJECT OR TO RULE ON A MOTION OR WHATEVER AND STUFF, AND NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED OR TRANSPIRED.
AND WE GOT THROUGH A MEETING, UM, I DON'T KNOW WHETHER THAT'S GOING TO BE, IT COULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE.
UM, POINT WELL TAKEN AND WE CERTAINLY CAN DISCUSS WITH HER, YOU KNOW, UH, IT COULD BE PART OF OUR RETREAT WHERE SHE WILL, UM, BECAUSE SHE DOES THIS FOR SCAC ON A REGULAR BASIS.
SHE ACTUALLY GOES INTO THE VARIOUS, UM, COUNTY COUNCILS ACROSS THE STATE AND DOES TRAINING FOR THEM.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, MR. HERB? SHAWN YOU'RE ON MUTE.
THAT PROBABLY EXPLAINS WHY HE COULDN'T HEAR ME.
UM, I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
UH, NUMBER ONE, WHAT WAS, IS DRIVING THE NEED FOR THIS AND WHY NOW, HOW WAS THREE MONTHS SELECTED? HOW WAS THIS PERSON SELECTED? WERE THERE MULTIPLE CHOICES AND HAS THIS PERSON EVER DONE WORK FOR COUNTY COUNCIL BEFORE? AND IN WHAT CAPACITY? UM, ONE I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT FOYA.
WE'VE HAD ISSUES WITH FOIL OVER THE PAST YEAR.
NUMBER TWO, I DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR ANY COUNCIL MEMBER TO BE PUT IN A POSITION WHERE THEY WOULD BE CHALLENGING ANOTHER COUNCIL PERSON.
UH, AND I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A NEGATIVE WAY.
I WANT SOMEBODY OUTSIDE OF US WHO IS A TRAINED PARLIAMENTARIAN IN THE RULES OF CONDUCT OF MEETINGS, TO BE ABLE TO ADVISE, ADVISE US OF WHETHER OR NOT THE ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS APPROPRIATE, WHETHER THE ITEM IS BEING TAKEN CARE OF APPROPRIATELY.
DID THIS PERSON EVER WORK FOR US BEFORE? I BELIEVE THE PERSON DID ONCE AND I CONTACTED S C I S C A C ABOUT WHO WOULD BEST BE ABLE TO DO THIS? HER NAME WAS NUMBER ONE BECAUSE SHE DOES THIS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
IS THIS THE SAME PERSON WHO WAS HIRED, UM, DURING THE MEETING TO HIRE THE ADMINISTRATOR? WHAT WAS IT? TWO OR THREE ADMINISTRATORS AGO? UH, I NOT SURE.
I HIRED HER, UH, BACK IN 2018, UH, TO PROVIDE SERVICES WHEN WE WERE, UH, WHEN COUNCIL WAS SELECTING IT, UH, ADMINISTRATOR OF FOLLOWING GARY CUBAN.
I WOULD JUST SAY THAT, UM, THIS IS THE HELL.
THIS IS GOING TO LOOK IN THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THAT WAS A VERY CONTENTIOUS MEETING, AS I RECALL, IT WAS IN THE GALLERY WATCHING.
UM, AND IT JUST, JUST GIVES ME A LITTLE BIT OF PAUSE.
IT JUST KIND OF SEEMS ODD P I DIDN'T LOOK AT IT THAT WAY, BRIAN.
UM, AGAIN, TO, TO LARRY'S POINT, IF I MIGHT THAT, UM, THAT IT DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN'T DO IT WELL, THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT THE RULES DON'T TALK ABOUT NOT HAVING, BUT THE PROVISION FOR, UM, HOW A PARLIAMENTARIAN IS, UH, IS APPOINTED IS VERY CLEAR THAT IT IS A MEMBER OF COUNCIL.
IT DOESN'T SAY SOME OTHER PERSON, SOME OUTSIDE SOURCE.
SO WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO HIRE, UH, OR TO APPOINT A PARLIAMENTARIAN FROM AMONG US OR NOT IS YOUR DECISION MR. CHAIRMAN, BUT THERE IS NO PROVISION FOR AN OUTSIDE PARLIAMENTARIAN.
THERE ARE CLEARLY POINTS, UM, ALONG, UH, THE, UH, THE SCHEDULE THAT VARIOUS PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED.
AND ACCORDING TO PARLIAMENT, GERRY PROCEDURE, UM, ARE ALLOWED TO TALK.
AND SINCE NO PARLIAMENTARIAN WILL BE ABLE TO BE APPOINTED, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT I'M HEARING, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T APPOINT SOMEONE FROM THE OUTSIDE.
IT DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN, BUT IT DOESN'T SAY YOU CAN.
AND SO THEREFORE THAT PERSON YOU'RE HIRING WON'T HAVE A POSITION TO SPEAK.
[00:20:01]
HAVE A TIME UNLESS WE, UNLESS WE OPEN UP TO THE FLOOR, UM, FOR SOME PARTICULAR REASON.SO, SO I THINK YOU'RE, WE EITHER NEED TO CHANGE THE RULES, WHICH IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE.
WE'RE ALLOWED TO CHANGE OUR RULES TO ALLOW AN OUTSIDE PARLIAMENTARIAN, UNLESS WE DO THAT.
I DON'T SEE YOUR PLAN WORKING.
ANY OTHER OPINIONS ON THAT, MR. CUNNINGHAM? YEAH.
SO MY QUESTION IS WHETHER WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS OR NOT, WELL, THIS INDIVIDUAL WILL BE WITH US WHEN WE'RE BACK FACE TO FACE AT OUR NEXT MEETING.
UH, THE PERSON START ON THE 25TH VIRTUALLY BECAUSE OUR MEETINGS ARE VIRTUAL.
THE REMAINDER OF OUR MEETINGS ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO BE VIRTUAL.
UH, RIGHT NOW THEY ARE, YES, MR. CHAIRMAN THREE MONTH TIME PERIOD.
HOW WAS THAT SELECTED? BUT JUST, JUST TO SEE HOW IT WORKS, MAYBE WE DON'T NEED, UM, AN OUTSIDE PERSON.
UH, MAYBE WE SAY, LOOK, WE'VE BEEN TRAINED.
WE UNDERSTAND WE CAN DO IT ON OUR OWN.
AND THEN, THEN I'LL COME TO YOU, MR. GLOVER, MR. RODMAN.
UH, YEAH, I IS THE QUESTION ON THE TABLE, UH, WHETHER THIS IS JUST INFORMATION OR DO WE NEED A VOTE OF COUNCIL TO APPROVE THIS? IF I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH TRYING IT FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, BUT PROCEDURALLY, DO WE, UH, WHAT, WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TONIGHT? UM, BY OUR PROCUREMENT, ONE OF TWO WAYS THIS CAN BE DONE EITHER IT'S DONE BY COUNCIL OR IT'S DONE BY OUR COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BECAUSE IT'S A LEGAL SERVICE.
I GUESS I WOULD PREFER THE COUNCIL DO IT, AND THEN WE CAN DEBATE IT AND VOTE IT UP OR DOWN.
UM, CAUSE IT IS FOR US AND IT'S OUR BUDGET, BUT THAT'S FINE.
MS. CHAIRMAN, MAY I HAVE THE FLOOR? YES, SIR.
I'LL WAIT, COULD YOU WAKE UP YORK WAS BEFORE YOU HANG ON IN YOUR DISCUSSION, I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING ABOUT TRAINING COUNCIL MEMBERS.
UH, AND CERTAINLY WE, WE CAN, UH, SET UP A TIME FOR THAT PERSON TO DO THAT.
THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER SERVICE, BUT CERTAINLY WE COULD DO THAT.
UH, BRIAN, MS. CHAIRMAN, I RESIGNED THE POSITION AS PARLIAMENTARIAN, THE COUNTY COUNSEL EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
IS THERE ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS? OKAY.
UM, I WILL NEED A MOTION FOR US TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR ITEMS NUMBER SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, 10, AND 11, ALL GUESTS.
JOE, ARE YOU GOING TO ACT ON STU SUGGESTION THAT WE HAVE A MOTION TO HIRE THIS PERSON AS A WISH OF THIS BODY? UM, WE, WE CAN CERTAINLY AMEND OUR AGENDA IF MR. RODMAN MAKES THAT MOTION TO AMEND OUR AGENDA FULL FOR THE HIRING OF MS. MR. EDMUND, DO YOU WISH TO PUT FORTH THAT MOTION? I THINK YOU CAN PUT IT ON A FUTURE AGENDA AND I THINK YOU WERE JUST GIVING US INFORMATION.
THEN WE WOULD NEED A SECOND TO AMEND THE, UM, UM, COUNCIL AGENDA FOR THAT PURPOSE.
I'LL SECOND THAT CHAIRMAN CHAIRMAN THAT WOULD BE HANDLED AT THE COUNCIL MEETING.
IF I, IF I MIGHT POSE AN OBJECTION, THAT WOULD BE HANDLED AFFIDAVIT.
WE, WE WOULD AMEND THE AGENDA MEETING TO TAKE THIS ACTION.
SO TALKING FURTHER ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO AT THE COUNCIL MEETING AS KIND OF A KIND OF POINTLESS.
YEAH, NO, THIS IS TO ADD IT AS AN AGENDA ITEM, THEN IT WILL BE DISCUSSED THERE.
NO, TO AGENDA TO THE AMEND THE AGENDA OF THE COUNCIL MEETING.
YOU NEED TO BE IN THE COUNCIL MEETING.
OH, WELL WE JUST AMENDED THE COUNCIL AGENDA FOR FORT
[00:25:01]
FREDERICK.I ASSUMED YOU WERE GOING TO ACTUALLY MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, TO AMEND THE AGENDA DURING THE MEETING, THE COUNCIL MEETING, I'LL DO IT VERY GOOD.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST GETTING ALL YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW.
THAT CAUCUS IS FOR IS TO GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW.
WE KNOW WE'RE GOING TO AMEND THE AGENDA FOR FORT FREDERICK.
AND, AND WHEN WE GET TO THE COUNCIL MEETING, WE'RE GOING TO AMEND THAT TO SAY, IN CAUCUS, WE DISCUSSED THIS AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO AMEND THE AGENDA FOR FORT FREDERICK.
AND WE COULD DO THAT FOR THIS ONE AS WELL.
BUT IT'S STILL WILL BE DONE AT THE COUNCIL MEETING.
BUT TO HAVE A VOTE ON IT NOW, OR TO HAVE THE MOTION NOW IS POINTLESS.
I'LL BRING IT UP AT THE COUNCIL MEETING.
IS IT TOO LATE TO ADD SOMETHING TO THE AGENDA FOR OUR COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING, SUCH AS, UM, THAT I MOVE THAT WE GO BACK TO IN-PERSON FOR MEETINGS.
SO COULD IT BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA TONIGHT THEN WITH THE SECOND? UM, WELL, UH, WE CAN, WE CAN, YOU CAN BRING THAT UP AT, AT THE, UH, UM, COUNCIL MEETING TO OUR AGENDA, A MOTION THAT, OKAY.
[EXECUTIVE SESSION]
SECOND TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR ITEMS SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, 10, AND 11 PURSUANT TO SOUTH CAROLINA CODE CODE 30 DASH FOUR DASH 72.THE CHAIRMAN, MR. MCKELLAN MAKES THE SECOND.
AND SECOND TO GO IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
THIS WILL BE DONE UNANIMOUSLY WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS? NONE WE ARE NOW IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
IT'LL TAKE A MINUTE FOR US TO GET OFF BROADCAST.
