[00:00:01]
I'LL IT CALL THIS BY ME?SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND CALL A MEETING, GO ORDER.
AND THEN, UH, LET'S, LET'S SAY THAT PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, SINCE IT'S NOT A BASKETBALL GAME, I HAVE A FLAG BACK THERE.
SO PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES, FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION, INDIVISIBLE, GOD, AND LIBERTY.
YOU KNOW, I WANT TO GET APPROVAL ON THE MEETING AGENDA.
WE COULD NEED A FIRST AND A SECOND.
I'LL GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THAT.
WE APPROVE THE AGENDA ALL IN FAVOR.
I NOTICED WE'RE NOT GETTING MINUTES, BUT WE DO HAVE THE VIDEO THAT WE'RE WELCOME TO REVIEW ANYTIME WHERE WE'RE GETTING A CHANCE.
I'M GOING TO TRY TO GET SOME MINUTES HERE.
I'VE BEEN, WE'VE RECORDED THEM IN THE PAST, AND I'LL TRY TO DO THAT AGAIN.
I'VE JUST GOT TO GET SOMEBODY TO TRANSCRIBE THEM.
SO, UM, SO ANY CITIZEN'S COMMENTS HERE? ALL RIGHT.
I, UM, I GUESS I'LL START WITH MY COMMENTS.
ANY COMMENTS THERE THAT I SEE HERE, ANYBODY? NOPE.
WELL, I GUESS THE FIRST THING I'M GOING TO DO ON MY REPORT IS THAT, UH, AS PART ON THE CPC COMMITTEE AND, UH, THERE SEEMS TO BE A MOVE, A FOOT TO LET'S GET THAT THING.
UH RE-ENERGIZED AND GOING, AND, UH, JAN HAS RESIGNED THE CHAIRMAN SHIP AND JASON HANCHER HAS AGREED TO ACCEPT THE CHAIRMANSHIP.
AND, UM, I THINK THAT'S REALLY AN IMPORTANT PART OF WHAT LADY SOLID USED TO HAVE.
I'VE BEEN ON IT FOR QUITE A WHILE WHEN JIM HEX WAS THERE AND, UH, WE NEEDED TO GET A LITTLE MORE MINT MEMBERSHIP IN IT AND A LITTLE BIT MORE AUTONOMY AND, AND LET THE CITIZENS USE IT AS A CLAIR IN HOUSE FOR THEIR COMMENTS AND STUFF.
CAUSE THINGS COME ON BOARD AND WE NEVER HEAR ABOUT IT.
UM, THERE'S CERTAINLY A LOT OF ITEMS THAT ARE GONNA BE COMING UP ON LADY'S ISLAND THAT NEED TO GO BEFORE THE CPC.
TYPICALLY WE HAVEN'T SEEN IT EXCEPT WHEN IT, WHEN THERE'S SOME EXCEPTION OR SOME BARRIERS NEEDS TO BE GIVEN, BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF STUFF THAT WE NEED TO GET OUT THERE AND THE COMMUNITY.
AND I THINK THE CPC IS A GOOD MECHANISM FOR THAT.
UM, THE HARRIS TEETER, UH, UPPER CANE, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A HUGE DEVELOPMENT WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC IMPACTS, UM, MILLER DRIVE, UH, THEY OWN GREEN HASTE TRASK PROPERTY OUT NEAR, UM, THE SCHOOL IT'S CALLED, UM, POLICEMEN'S FARMS NOW.
UM, WIDE HALL OF COURSE IS PART OF IT.
BUT, UM, AND I THINK CHOCOLATE TALYA THAT'S, THAT'S WHAT STARTED HIS GROUP IS NOBODY WAS TALKING ABOUT WHITE HALL AND STUFF.
WE'LL GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR THAT.
UM, BUT I'M HOPING THAT JASON CAN TAKE THE LEAD THERE AND WE'VE GOT MORE ENERGY INTO THAT.
I, UH, I HAVE A WEBSITE AND, UH, YOU MAY HAVE RECEIVED A MEMO ON IT.
IT'S WWW LADIES, ALAN DARDO.ORG.
SO, UM, I GUESS WE CAN START POSTING ON THAT AND I'LL, I'LL WORK WITH JASON TO SEE WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO, TO GET THAT, TO BE A MORE BIBLE ORGANIZATIONS.
UM, AND I'LL, I'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE SOON AS I FINISHED TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS, JASON.
SO TELL US WHAT YOUR GAME PLAN IS.
HELLO? YEAH, THE LADY, BECAUSE,
[00:05:01]
YOU KNOW, IN PERSON AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, SO THE PEOPLE HAVE CHANGED THE COMMENT, UM, TRADITIONALLY, UM, WE'VE GIVEN THE DEVELOPERS AND THE PROPERTY OWNERS, SOME ROOM TO COME IN AND BOUNCE STUFF INFORMALLY OFF OF THE CP BEFORE THEY SUBMIT IT TO THE COUNTY AND CONTINUE WITH THAT AS WELL, POSSIBLY EXPAND WHAT THE CP IS IN THE FUTURE, BUT I'VE RECENTLY FORMED A WORKING WITH EVERYONE NEW AS WELL.NOW, JASON, DO YOU HAVE A ESTIMATED DATE IN MIND FOR WHEN YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO RECONVENE THE COMMITTEE NEXT? I'M HOPING NEXT MONTH, JESSE.
UM, AND I NEED TO REALLY, I MEAN, A LOT OF COMMITTEES RIGHT NOW, AND I GUESS WE'D NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND TRY AND FIGURE OUT, UH, YOU KNOW, A SET TIME EVERY MONTH BECAUSE NORMALLY, YOU KNOW, WE KIND OF HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT ON DEMAND, BUT WE PROBABLY NEED TO MEET MONTHLY AT LEAST FOR A WHILE, UNTIL WE GET THROUGH SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WE REALLY NEED TO ADDRESS.
JASON, HAVE YOU, AND YOU TALKED WITH SOME OF THE OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND DO THEY STILL HAVE AN INTEREST IN PARTICIPATING ON THE CPC I'VE TALKED WITH? UM, AND SASSEL, AND I THINK EVERYBODY WHO'S IN IT IS STILL ON BOARD.
UM, YOU KNOW, COVID, IT'S JUST KIND OF LOCKED EVERYTHING DOWN AND JAN AND, YOU KNOW, DAN DOES A GREAT JOB AND HE ALWAYS HAS, HE'S STILL IN, UM, I'VE SPOKEN WITH HIM, YOU KNOW, HE'S PRETTY BUSY WITH THE BANKING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF ALL THE PPE LOANS AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S, EVERYTHING'S STILL SETTLING DOWN A LITTLE BIT AT STEVEN.
I HOPE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK UP AND ROLL WITH IT AGAIN.
WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU STEPPING UP AND SHOWING LEADERSHIP.
UH, SO I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE BANK.
HE'S REALLY BEEN A LIFELINE FOR A LOT OF US, SMALL BUSINESSES AROUND, SO I'D RATHER HIM BE FOCUSING ON BANKING AND CPC IF I'M SELFISH WITHOUT IT.
SO I'M WITH YOU A HUNDRED PERCENT.
WE'RE JUST GOING TO SAY CONGRATULATIONS, JASON.
UM, CONGRATULATIONS OR CONDOLENCES, WHICHEVER YOU WANT TO LOOK AT.
UM, I, UH, I CERTAINLY WILL AT LEAST ATTEND, UH, AS MANY OF YOUR MEETINGS AS I POSSIBLY CAN.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC AND, UH, WE'LL SEE HOW THAT INTEGRATES INTO THE, UM, INTO THE TASK FORCE PLANNING, PART OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.
AND YOU CAN ALSO ADD, SO ADD, FEEL FREE TO HELP IN ANY WAY I CAN.
REINITIATED AND MEETING AGAIN.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE VOLUNTEERING.
WELL, CONGRATULATIONS LOOKED LIKE IT GOT SOME SUPPORT AND ENERGY.
I'M GLAD TO SAY IT, SO I'LL BE THERE.
SO, UH, AND, UH, I'VE ALWAYS ENJOYED THAT, UH, BACKED GROUP, SO WE NEED TO GET IT RE-INVIGORATED CAUSE UH, THERE WAS A LOT COMING DOWN THE PIPE.
UM, I THOUGHT I'D GIVE US A WHITE, UH, WHITE HALL UPDATE, STEPHANIE, A NAGEL AS A CSO, PASSIVE PARK MANAGER.
AND I, I MAY HAVE GIVEN SENT Y'ALL A LINK TO THE NEWSPAPER ARTICLE WHERE WOODSON PARTNERS OR THE CONSULTANT ON THE PARK PLANNING.
AND, UH, THE PROJECTION ON THAT IS SOMETIME IN 2012, I MEAN, 20, 20 TWOS.
SO NEXT YEAR THEY SHOULD BE, UH, WORKING ON IT.
I, I COULDN'T QUITE FIGURE OUT WHEN THE DATE WAS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE PARK IS GOING TO BE, UH, MOVING FORWARD AND, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE MIGHT BE COMPLETED SOMETIME IN 2022.
YOU, YOU MIGHT ENLIGHTEN US ON ANY OF THAT, DAVE, IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT, CAN WE GET A BAIT, THE PARK WHITE HALL? OKAY.
[00:10:01]
OF OUR PARK, I DON'T KNOW HOW I'LL HAVE TO TALK SLOWER.UM, AS FAR AS OUR PART, UM, WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR THE PRICE OF LUMBER TO GO DOWN BEFORE WE COULD, YOU KNOW, PICK UP AND SEND OUT FORBID THE BRIDGE, THE BRIDGE CONNECTION TO THE CAUSEWAY.
UM, WHAT WAS THE OTHER PART, UH, ISLAND THAT YOU ASKED THAT'D BE WOODS AND ASSOCIATES NOT.
I THOUGHT THAT STEPHANIE SAID THAT W THERE IN THE CURRENTLY, UH, DOING THE PLANNING WHAT'S IN PARTNERS AND THEN THEY, UH, THEY EXPECT TO HAVE IT DOWN BY 2022.
AND I'VE TALKED TO, UH, SOME OF THE DOCK BUILDERS.
AND IF WE'LL CHANGE THE PRODUCT TO A CONCRETE PRODUCT, UH, YOUR PRICE WILL STAY THE SAME.
YOU WON'T BE HIT WITH THAT BIG PRICE INCREASE.
SO YOU MAY WANT TO REACH OUT TO DUNCAN ON THAT.
CAUSE I'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WITH HIM HOW WE CAN GET THEM IN BUDGET.
I KNOW THAT, I KNOW THAT STEPHANIE AND KYLE THEODORE BRIEF, UH, UH, THE P TAG, THEY'D PREVIOUSLY BRIEF, UM, CITY COUNCIL ON THE PLANS FOR GOING AHEAD.
SO, UM, THAT'S ALL BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IF I COULD, IF I COULD JUMP IN.
SO COUNCIL APPROVED CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE CONCEPTUALS ON TUESDAY NIGHT, UH, WHICH IS FOR MOST OF THE INTERIOR OF THE PARK.
UH, THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE, THE DOCK AND THE CONNECTOR FROM THE BRIDGE.
AND THEN THE COUNTY WILL BE HANDLING ALL THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR THE INTERNAL PARK AND JESSE, UM, STEPHANIE DID BRING UP THE BALD EAGLES NEST AND THEY'RE AWARE OF THE LOCATION AND AWARE OF THE CONSTRAINTS AROUND NESTING OR MATING SEASON FOR BALD EAGLES.
ALSO CONSTRUCTION WILL BE COORDINATED AROUND, UH, AROUND THAT TIMEFRAME.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'VE HAD TO BUILD AROUND HIM OVER THERE ON ALLEN'S WOULD BE FOR THAT.
YOU JUST NEED TO BE BACK AT WORK AROUND THERE IN ESSENCES AND LOOK ON WHITE HALL HAS GOTTEN APPROVAL AND GOT PAST THE, UH, THE LAWSUITS AND THEY'RE WORKING ON THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE RIGHT NOW.
THE ENGINEERING SHOULD BE FINISHED IN, UH, UH, MARCH OR APRIL.
AND THEN THEY'RE LOOKING TO HAVE THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE FINISHED SOMETIME DURING THE SUMMER, THEY'RE ALREADY TAKEN A LOT OF RESERVATIONS AND EVERYTHING LOOKS VERY POSITIVE OVER THERE.
SO AS FAR AS THE DEVELOPERS ARE CONCERNED, THEY ARE MOVING FORWARD AS FAST AS THEY CAN.
AND, UH, SO I THINK WE'RE GOING SAY SOME PROGRESS OVER THERE AND YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT WAS A GREAT EFFORT BY JASON AND MIKE AND PAUL WOULD TAR TO GET THEM TO CHANGE AROUND THAT PLAN THOUGH.
UM, I KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HARRIS TATER, THEY'RE GOING TO DEMO IT.
AND I GUESS, UH, THE NEW PA EVERYTHING'S BEEN APPROVED, UH, PERMITS IN HAND AND I JUST DON'T KNOW THEIR CONSTRUCTION TIMELINE, BUT THEY, IT IS GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD.
SO WELL, IF I MAY ALLEN THE, UM, THE PERMITS AREN'T IN HAND, I MEAN, THEY HAD A DEMOLITION PERMIT.
UM, WE'VE NOT SEEN, UH, PERMANENT ON THE BUILDING, UH, YET.
UM, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT MOVING FORWARD.
UM, LET'S SEE, I HAD A FEW OTHER ITEMS, UH, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE LADY'S ISLAND VILLAGE PLAN AND MIKE TELL HIM HE'S GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, I, I UNDERSTAND THE COUNTY AND THE CITY, OR CONSIDERING PUTTING A BUDGET ITEM IN FOR THE VILLAGE CENTER PLAN, UH, SOME OF SIMILAR REQUESTS FOR PRICING.
SO AT LEAST WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS THERE AND I'LL LET HIM MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT HE'S GOING TO BE DOING.
HE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT COORDINATE WITH COUNTY ENGINEERS AND CONSULTANTS AND, UH, AND GETTING THEM.
SO, UH, GOT A, HE'S GOT A MEETING THIS COMING FRIDAY TO TALK ABOUT THE ZONING AND THE FIRST QUADRANT, UM, LADIES ALLEN VILLAGE CENTER.
OR WE TALKED ABOUT THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE AS FAR AS, UH, GETTING, GETTING SOME THINGS COORDINATED WITH THE COUNTY AND THE CITY, WE PASSED US, THE SEPTIC TANK ORDINANCE, THE CITY ORDINANCE HAS COME THROUGH HERE, WE'RE COORDINATING AND WE'RE WORKING
[00:15:01]
ON THE SEA LEVEL RISE AND BLOOD ORDINANCES, AT LEAST ON LADY'S ISLAND.WE'VE MOVED IT ON UP THE LINE.
SO, UH, I THINK NATURAL RESOURCES AS APPROVED, BUT SO IT'S UP TO COUNCIL AND LOW COG AND THOSE OTHER GROUPS TO MOVE IT ON THROUGH AND, UH, THE NEW MAPS FOR FEMA COMING OUT IN MARCH.
AND, UH, YOU'LL SEE, UH, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU'LL SEE A REDUCTION IN THE FLOOD ELEVATIONS, BUT, UM, THE CODES, PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO REQUIRE FREE BOARD TO WHERE THEY THINK IT'S ADEQUATE.
SO, UM, I'M GONNA LET, UM, MIKE TOMI TAKE OVER NOW AND LET HIM TALK ABOUT THE VILLAGE PLAN.
AND THEN, UH, I UNDERSTAND DON'T WE HAVE A COUNTY ENGINEERS HERE.
SOME PEOPLE YOU CAN GIVE A SADDLE LIGHT.
SO MIKE, YOU WANT TO TAKE IT FROM HERE? SURE.
WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF THINGS GOING ON, UH, WITH THE TASK FORCE AND MOVING THAT FORWARD.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UH, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO IS, IS REALLY START OUR CONNECTION WITH THE, UH, COUNTY ENGINEERING AND, UM, THE COUNTY, UH, CONTRACTOR FOR ENGINEERING.
UM, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT, UM, I WANT EVERYBODY TO TRY AND DO IS, UH, UH, CONNECT INTO, I THINK YOUR NEXT, ANY SALES TAX MEETING IS ON FEBRUARY THE 18TH.
UM, AND, UH, WOULD LIKE, LIKE EVERYBODY TO, UH, UH, LISTEN IN ON THAT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
UH, IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO, I THINK ALL OF US FOR ALL THE PLANNING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.
UM, THE OTHER THING THAT, UH, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND DO IS SET UP A MEETING, UH, WITH, UH, JENNIFER, YOU AND BRITTANY AND ROB, UH, WHAT, THE THING THAT'S, UM, REALLY TYING TOGETHER.
A LOT OF, UH, WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH ON THE VILLAGE CENTER IS, UH, THE PATHWAYS CONNECTORS.
UH, AND THOSE ARE GOING TO BE INTEGRAL WITH A LOT OF THE ACCESS ROADS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
UM, THE, UH, TASK FORCE HAS COME UP WITH SOME, UM, PATHWAYS SUGGESTIONS THAT WE THINK ARE APPROPRIATE FOR, UH, DEVELOPING, UH, OR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENTER.
AND SO WE WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO GET TOGETHER WITH, UH, Y'ALL AND ROB, AND TALK ABOUT THE PATHWAYS THAT WE'RE, UH, LOOKING AT, UH, AND WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING, UH, TO TRY AND HAPPEN, BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUSLY VERY INTEGRATED INTO, UH, ALL OF THE ROADWAYS THAT, UH, THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
SO, UH, I'LL TRY AND GET AHOLD OF Y'ALL AND SEE IF WE CAN GET TOGETHER SOMETIME IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
UM, AND, UH, UH, TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
UM, THE, UH, UH, I BELIEVE THAT, UH, UH, JESSIE AND ROB, YOU HAVE SOME DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU WERE PUTTING TOGETHER THAT WERE GOING TO BRING FOR OUR MEETINGS TOMORROW, THAT IS TOMORROW FRIDAY, ALREADY, UH, FOR THE, UH, TASK FORCE MEETING.
UH, AND, UH, IN ADDITION TO THAT, I'VE ASKED EVERYBODY TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THEIR, UM, UH, WHAT THEIR OUTLOOK, UH, MIGHT, UH, BE LOOKING LIKE, UH, FOR, UH, STAKEHOLDERS, MAJOR STAKEHOLDERS, UH, THAT ARE ALREADY BEING CONTACTED BY SOME PEOPLE WHAT THEIR PERSONAL CONNECTIONS ARE WITH THEM, SO THAT WE CAN, UH, TRY TO TRY AND TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AS A TASK FORCE GROUP AND ASSESS, UH, A WAY FORWARD FOR DOING THAT.
UM, THE, UH, UH, THE BIG ISSUE THAT WE'LL BE, UH, DEALING WITH, UM, UH, TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE, UH, THE ZONING HARMONIZATION THAT, UH, UH, WE'RE GOING TO GET A PRESENTATION ON THAT.
UM, AND, UM, CHUCK IS A BETTER SHOW US WHAT HE'S GOTTEN THE DIRECTION WE HAVE.
I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF INTERACTION, UH, IN THAT MEETING TOMORROW AFTER HIS PRESENTATION TO TRY AND ESTABLISH EXACTLY OR, UH, THE TASK FORCE THINKS WE SHOULD BE GOING AND HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE ACCOMPLISHED.
UM, WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT THE, UH, UH, CONSULTANT FUNDING.
UM, I THINK THAT'S, UH, HOPEFULLY MOVING FORWARD, I'D LIKE TO, TO GET A BETTER IDEA THAT THE TASK FORCE IS HOPING THAT THE CONSULTANT FUNDING WILL COME ABOUT SO THAT WE WILL
[00:20:01]
GET CONSULTANTS ON BOARD SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE, UH, NEAR FUTURE BEING MAYBE JULY, UH, WHERE, UM, WE CAN START WORKING WITH THOSE CONSULTANTS AS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.UM, I THINK THE OTHER THING THAT WAS MENTIONED, UH, IN ONE OF OUR LAST MEETINGS WAS THAT THERE WAS A DOCUMENT THAT WAS GOING TO BE PRODUCED.
UH, THERE WAS A DRAFT DOCUMENT FOR RIGHT OF WAY RESERVATION.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF ANYTHING'S HAPPENED WITH THAT ROB, UH, OR NOT, UM, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO DATE.
I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO REALLY DETERMINE IS WHAT ADDITIONAL RIGHT AWAY TO BE NEAT.
AND THAT SEEMS TO BE AN UNKNOWN THAT BY THE WAY, FROM DEFINING RIGHT NOW, I THINK THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE QUESTION THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT.
WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT.
I THINK THAT THAT'S A LOT OF WHAT I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRY AND ESTABLISH, UH, TO SOME DEGREE, AT LEAST STARTING TOMORROW.
UM, OTHER THAN THAT, UM, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH, UH, OUTLINE OF WHERE WE'RE GOING RIGHT NOW.
UH, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS AND MIKE, IF I MAY ADD, UH, I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER OF THE LAY'S ISLAND SHOPPING CENTER, UM, KIND OF TOLD HIM WHAT THE, WHAT THE VILLAIN WITH THIS TASK FORCE IS.
THE VILLAGE CENTER TASK FORCE IS DOING.
UM, WE TALKED ABOUT OTHER STAKEHOLDERS IN THAT QUADRANT.
I ASKED IF HE WOULD GIVE US A LIST AND MAYBE EVEN MAKE INTRODUCTIONS FOR US SO THAT WE'RE NOT COLD CALLING THEM.
AND SO, UM, HE SAID HE WOULD DO THAT.
SO WE SHOULD BE, I HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT YET.
I SPOKE WITH HIM LAST WEEK, SO THAT MIGHT KIND OF PAVE THE WAY FOR OUR STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS.
UM, UH, AS SOON AS WE CAN GET THAT, WE CAN FOLD THAT IN WITH WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE IS TRYING TO DO TOO.
UM, I'D OPEN IT UP FOR CHUCK, BUT HE'S NOT HERE.
I THINK I'VE ALREADY SAID THAT HE'S DOING A PRESENTATION TOMORROW AND, UH, THAT'S PROBABLY THE MOST OF THE UPDATES THAT HE'D HAVE FOR US RIGHT NOW.
UH, SO I'LL TURN IT BACK OVER TO YOU, ALLEN.
I WONDER IF WE CAN GET AN UPDATE ON BRITTANY, ON THE PENNY SALES TAX.
I'M GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN REAL FAST AND JUST SHOW YOU GUYS THE, THIS IS THE 1 CENT SALES TAX PROGRAM WEB PAGE.
UM, THIS IS WHERE ALL THE INFORMATION IS BEING HOSTED.
IT'S MOST UP TO DATE FOR THE PROGRAM ITSELF.
WE HAVE THE PROJECT MAP THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO VIEW AND TAKE A LOOK AT EACH ONE OF THE PROJECTS WITHIN YOUR LADIES ISLAND AREA.
YOU CAN CLICK ON THEM AND CLICK ON THEM, AND I'LL GIVE YOU DETAILED INFORMATION OVER HERE ON THE SIDE.
ONCE AGAIN, THE THREE PROJECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REFERENDUM, THE ONE WE'RE CONCERNED WITH TODAY, LADIES ISLAND, CORRIDOR, TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS.
WE'VE GOT THE 2017 LADIES ISLAND CORRIDOR STUDY THAT, UM, HER POSED THE PROJECTS THAT WE ARE WORKING ON.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR UPDATED 20, 21 LADY'S ISLAND TRAFFIC STUDY.
UM, EACH ONE OF THE PROJECTS HAVE THEIR DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT PHASE AND AN ESTIMATED BUDGET.
THE FIRST ONE IS FOR THE LADY'S ISLAND ACCESS ROADS.
THIS STARTED JANUARY 18TH IN FEBRUARY 14TH, AND THIS IS TO REINTRODUCE THESE SEVEN PROJECTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACCESS ROADS.
YOU CAN CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE VIRTUAL MEETING.
IT'S GOT THE TOWN HALL THAT WE POSTED ON JANUARY 21ST, UH, ALL OF THE EXHIBITS AVAILABLE FOR VIEW.
ONCE AGAIN, ALL THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PROJECTS THEMSELVES.
AND THEN DOWN HERE IS HOW TO COMMENT.
WE HAVE EXTENDED, UM, THE WEBSITE COMMENT FOR ONE ADDITIONAL WEEK.
SO YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO GO ON HERE AND FILL OUT THE COMMENT FORM FOR COMMENTS THAT WILL BE, UM, RESPONDED TO BACK TO MEETINGS.
WE ALSO HAVE THE OVERALL CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENT MEETINGS, UH, US 21 AND EIGHT OH TWO.
ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN CLICK HERE TO VISIT THAT PUBLIC MEETING.
THIS IS GOING TO GO OVER THE, UM, EAST AREA CONCEPT PLAN.
THERE IS ONE PER EXHIBIT FOR YOU TO REVIEW AND MAKE COMMENTS
[00:25:01]
TOWARDS THE WEST AREA HAS FOUR ALTERNATIVES.SO YOU ARE ABLE TO GO ON HERE AND VIEW EACH ONE OF THOSE, THE PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS.
AND THEN ONCE AGAIN, SIMILAR TO THE OTHER, UM, PUBLIC MEETING, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR VERBAL COMMENTS WHO WILL BE HOSTING A VIRTUAL TOWN HALL ON FEBRUARY 18TH AT 6:00 PM.
UM, WE WILL HOST A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION, SIMILARLY THAT WE DID LAST TIME.
UM, YOU CAN GO ON HERE TO REGISTER, TO MAKE A VERBAL COMMENTS ON AIR OR A WRITTEN COMMENT THAT WILL BE READY FOR YOU.
UM, IF WE RECEIVE SIMILAR COMMENTS, UM, WE WILL COMBINE THEM ALL INTO ONE, UM, AND TRY TO ADDRESS THEM ALL AS ONE.
SO THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU ALL AND FOR THE COMMUNITY.
NOW, UM, THIS ALSO HOLDS ALL THE PAST MEETINGS THAT WE'VE HELD.
SO THE PATHWAYS PROJECTS, VIRTUAL TOWN HALL, UM, VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING THAT WE HOSTED IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, UM, ALONG WITH THAT BUPA HIGH SCHOOL REALIGNMENT PUBLIC MEETING AND THE SUNSET BOULEVARD COMMUNITY MEETING.
AND THAT WAS A STAKEHOLDERS MEETING UNDER OUR RESOURCES TAB.
AND THIS IS ALL OF THE DOCUMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE REFERENDUM, THE BALLOT QUESTION ORDINANCE, UM, THERE'S A PROJECT NOT BEGAN.
WE DO ISSUE MONTHLY REPORTS AND THOSE ARE LOCATED HERE.
UM, AND THEN ALL THE REPORTS AND STUDIES THAT WE HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE YEARS, THERE IS A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS PAGE THAT YOU CAN GO TO.
AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, AND OF COURSE, THERE'S THE CONTACT US FORM WHERE YOU CAN REGISTER ON THE LIST TO RECEIVE A REGULAR PROJECT UPDATES ON JENNIFER.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO LEARN? NO, I THINK YOU COVERED MOST OF IT.
JUST KEEP IN MIND, THE VIRTUAL TOWN HALL NEXT THURSDAY WILL AIR LIVE AT SEA AT 6:00 PM AND THEN IT WILL BE RECORDED.
SO LIKE THE ACCESS ROADS FOLLOWING THE MEETING, THEN WE WILL POST THE VIDEO TO THE WEBSITE SO THAT IF SOMEONE DOES MISS THE LIVE AIRING, THEY'RE ABLE TO GO BACK AND WATCH IT.
ONE MORE THING IN REFERENCE TO THAT.
WHEN YOU REGISTER FOR A VERBAL COMMENT, YOU ARE GOING TO BE CONTACTED BY PHONE TO MAKE THAT COMMENT ON AIR.
UH, THE WAY THAT WE HAVE IT SET UP IS NOT A VIRTUAL MEETING.
UM, SO WE HAVE TO REACH OUT TO EACH ONE OF THE REGISTERED, UM, SPEAKERS VIA TELEPHONE, AND THAT IS GOING TO BE THE GENERIC BEAVER COUNTY NUMBER AT CHIEF BY FIVE, 2000.
DID HE DO HAVE A COMMENT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE PLEASE STAND BY WITH YOUR PHONE? UM, SO THAT WE ARE, WE WILL BE ABLE TO CONTACT YOU, UH, JUST A QUICK QUESTION.
UM, BRITTANY, YOU SAID THE MEETING WAS ON THE 14TH AND I THOUGHT I GOT AN EMAILS MOVING INTO THE 18TH AND JENNIFER MENTIONED THE 18TH.
SO AM I CONFUSED? SO THE VIRTUAL, UH, PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE ACCESS ROADS ORIGINALLY, AND THEN WITHIN THIS COMING SUNDAY ON THE 14TH, WE DID EXTEND THAT VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE ACCESS ROADS IN ONE WEEK TO FEBRUARY 21ST TO SEE IF WE CAN SOLICIT MORE COMMENTS, BUT THE VIRTUAL TOWN HALL MEETING OR THE U S 21 CORRIDOR WILL BE FEBRUARY THE 18TH.
AND THAT WILL BE HOSTED LIVE AT 6:00 PM.
RIGHT? SO THE VIRTUAL TOWN HALL, SINCE WE'RE NOT ABLE TO BE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, SINCE WE'RE NOT ABLE TO CONDUCT A MEETING IN PERSON, THIS IS A WAY TO GET THE INFORMATION ACROSS IN A VIRTUAL FORMAT.
SO THAT'S WHY WE WOULD ACCESS ROADS.
WE CONDUCTED A TOWN HALL AS PART OF THE OVERALL VIRTUAL MEETING THAT IS NOW THE RECORDING ON THE WEBSITE AND ANOTHER TOWN HALL ONLY FOR THE 21 CORRIDOR ON THE 18TH AT 6:00 PM.
AND THAT'S WHAT BRITTANY WAS SAYING.
THERE IS A REGISTRATION FORM, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE BY EITHER REGISTERING TO SUBMIT A WRITTEN COMMENT, TO BE READ DURING THE QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION OR REGISTERING, IF YOU WOULD ACTUALLY LIKE TO MAKE YOUR QUESTION VERBAL, AND WE WOULD ACTUALLY SEND OUT THE INFORMATION TO CONTACT YOU DURING THE MEETING.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID PREVIOUSLY.
WE SENT OUT INFORMATION AND I GUESS MOST PEOPLE GOT A CAMERA SHY, SO TO SPEAK THAT NO ONE WANTED TO SPEAK.
[00:30:01]
I THINK THERE WAS A PROBLEM ACTUALLY RINGING IN AT THAT TWO OR THREE PEOPLE TELL ME THEY TRIED TO GET IN, BUT THERE WERE NO COMMENTS.I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE WAS, BUT NOT FOR THIS, NOT FOR THE PUBLIC TO CALL IN.
THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT WERE SENT OUT IS WE WOULD CONTACT YOU BY THE NUMBER PROVIDED.
AND SO WE, THE PEOPLE THAT REGISTERED, WE DID CALL THE NUMBER THEY PROVIDED, UM, FOR THEM TO WEIGH IN AND BRITTANY DID SPEAK TO SEVERAL AND THEY ACTUALLY CHOSE NOT TO MAKE A COMMENT DURING THE, DURING THAT MEETING.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GIVING TWO OPTIONS THIS TIME ON THE 21, OR THEY CAN EITHER SPEAK VERBALLY AND WE WILL CONTACT THEM BY THE NUMBER OF PROVIDING THEM AGAIN DURING THE MEETING, OR YOU CAN REGISTER TO MAKE A WRITTEN COMMENT THAT WE WOULD THEN READ ALOUD AND ADDRESS DURING THE MEETING.
OKAY, WELL, WE'LL TRY TO SPREAD THE WORD AND SEE IF WE CAN GET A LITTLE MORE PUBLIC INPUT ON IT, BECAUSE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.
AND, UH, I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THIS QUARTER REVIEW WOULDN'T HAVE A LOT OF COMMENTS.
I KNOW WE HAD SEVERAL TOWN HALL MEETINGS WHERE A HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP ABOUT IT.
SO WHAT ARE WHERE THEY ARE NOW, BUT, UH, THEY'VE GOT TO BE OUT THERE.
AND AS SOON AS YOU START DOING SOMETHING, THEY GOING COME UP.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN'T GET THEM, UH, TO MAKE THEM COMMENTS.
UM, ANYTHING, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD HERE ON THIS? UH, I'M GONNA MAKE SOMETHING UP.
I'M PUTTING TOGETHER A BIG QUESTIONNAIRE FOR YOU RIGHT NOW AND SOME PICTURES.
I WANT TO GIVE BRITTANY AND JENNIFER ON THE WEBSITE.
I REALLY LIKED THE MONTHLY REPORT THAT I GOT A COPY OF YESTERDAY.
I'VE PUSHED THAT OUT TO SEVERAL FOLKS.
IT'S FULL OF INFORMATION, BUT IT'S EASY TO READ.
YOU'RE ALSO PUSHING INFORMATION OUT INSTEAD OF JUST THE STATIC WEBSITE.
I APPRECIATE THAT STEVE PRETTY INFORMATIVE.
WELL, I REVIEWED THE WEBPAGES AND I THINK THEY ARE GOOD.
THEY'RE GOING TO HELP US DO OUR JOB AND HELP THE COMMUNITY GET IT.
UM, ANYTHING ELSE, UM, YOU WANT TO TALK TO ABOUT YOUR TRAILS AND EVERYTHING AROUND YOUR PATHWAYS? I, UM, I HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT, YOU KNOW, THAT THE BRITTANY OR HER JENNIFER GETS SILLY THEN ON I'M JUST, YEAH, I DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THAT PROCESS UNLESS YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE, UM, COUNTY-WIDE, UH, BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN.
YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING A LADY'S ALLEN DOWN NOW, MERIDIAN OR ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE, WE ACTUALLY SPENT SOME TIME WALK-INS AND PATHWAYS AND THINGS THROUGH THE HIGH SCHOOL PROPERTIES AND STUFF, BUT IT'S NOT, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING, I UNDERSTAND AS GOOD PROJECTS ARE BEING DAMAGED.
SO IF WE DO ACTUALLY THERE'S SOME FEEDBACK.
UM, WE ACTUALLY DO HAVE A PROPOSED EIGHT FOOT SHARED USE PATHWAY ON MERIDIAN.
UM, THE PUBLIC MEETING WAS HELD OCTOBER 19TH OF NOVEMBER 20TH.
WE DID RECEIVE COMMENTS AND OUR PUTTING ALL OF THAT TOGETHER.
UM, IT WAS PRESENTED OUR, UH, THE COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATION WAS PRESENTED AT PUBLIC FACILITIES COMMITTEE IN JANUARY.
UM, AND WE ARE FINALIZING THAT RECOMMENDATION TO BRING FORTH TO COUNCIL, BUT MERIDIAN GRIM DOES HAVE A PROPOSED PATHWAY OF GROUP.
WELL, I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING OUT THERE CAUSE I SAW IT ON THE MAP.
SO I JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHO WAS RUNNING IT.
UM, AND THE PENNY SALES TAX FUNDED, SOME OF THAT, ISN'T IT? YES, THAT'S IT IT'S CURRENTLY.
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR TOPICS WE NEED TO GO OVER?
[00:35:04]
SO TOMORROW WE'LL HAVE A MAIN MEETING ON THE VILLAGE CENTER THAT MIKE TOLD ME.AND THEN I THINK I SENT OUT SOME LINKS TO YOUR WEBSITE.
THE TWO, OUR NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, YOU CAN TURN IT INTO PARK AND, AND THE LAWSUITS.
AND, UM, WE'LL MOVE ON WITH THAT.
AND, UM, THERE ARE SEVERAL SHAREHOLDERS, UH, DAVID, UH, THE GRAYS AND PEOPLE LIKE THAT, THAT, UM, THEY'RE CERTAINLY GONNA BE WANTING TO GET WITH YOU ON WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THE VILLAGE CENTER AND ILAB TO SEE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO COME OUT OF.
AND JASON, THANK YOU FOR TAKING OVER CPC.
WE'LL SEE HOW THAT WORKS AND GET A LOT MORE ENERGY GOING THERE.
SO MY PLEASURE AND JENNIFER AND BRITTANY, THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.
SO WE'VE BEEN WANTING SOME INPUT.
WE'VE BEEN NEEDING SOME INPUT, SO THANK YOU.
UM, ANY OTHER BUSINESS WE'D LIKE TO GO OVER? YEAH.
AND GETTING FEEDBACK, BUT I WAS JUST GONNA SAY IF, UH, UH, BRITTANY OR JENNIFER WOULD LIKE TO JOIN US TOMORROW MORNING, UM, WE WOULD ENJOY HAVING YOU THERE.
WOULD YOU MIND SENDING US THE LINK FOR THE MEETING? IT'S AN IN-PERSON MEETING.
IT'S AT CITY HALL IN THE MAIN CONFERENCE ROOM.
AND WHAT TIME WHEN THE LINK WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM THE FEBRUARY 18TH AND THE SALES TAX, OUR BROADCASTING DEPARTMENT HAD THE VIDEO EDITED AND UPLOADED PER USE WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE MEETING.
AND WE CAN INSTANTLY LINK THAT TO OUR WEBSITE AS SOON AS IT'S AVAILABLE FOR BROADCASTING.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR BUSINESS? MIKE? WE'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW MORNING.
