AIR STATION BEAUFORT LIVES MIKE BENNETT HELMET. >> WELL GRANTED DISTRICT SIX I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT.
[7. UPDATES REGARDING MEETINGS WITH COUNTY COUNCIL (ALL)]
I THINK SO. WE'LL MOVE ON THEN TOO. HAS ANYONE HAD A CHANCE WERE THERE ANY UPDATES REGARDING THE MINUTE MINUTE MEETINGS WITH YOUR COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBERS? I WASN'T OK. NO ONE'S HAD ANY MINUTES OR MEETINGS WITH THEIR COUNTY[8. SWR MONTHLY REPORT MARCH 21 FY21 and APRIL 21 FY21]
COUNCIL MEMBERS WILL MOVE ON TO THE REPORTS AND CINDY WILL DO THE FIRST ONE AND THE REST OF YOUR REPORTS RIGHT IN YOUR PACKETS I'M GIVING YOU THE BOARD REPORTS MARCH AND APRILOF THIS YEAR. >> OH, I SEE YOU SORRY. WE'RE CURRENTLY AT SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN TOTAL TERMS OF RESIDENTIAL WASTE THAT'S BEEN GENERATED COUNTY.
OH THAT'S COMPARED TO SEVENTY ONE THOUSAND ONE THIRTY NINE IN APRIL OF 2012.
THE NUMBER IS ABOVE THE CEILING AS THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THE YEAR WERE CONSIDERABLY HIGHER IN VOLUME AS WE HEAD INTO THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.
WE HOPE TO HAVE REALLY GOOD NEWS SUMMARIZING THE BEGINNING OF OUR DETAILED SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION AND I DO ANTICIPATE A PLATEAU OR AN ACTUAL DECLINE IN FISCAL YEAR TOTALS. WE'RE CONTINUING TO MONITOR THE PERCENTAGE OF RESIDENTIAL HOUSEHOLD TRASH COLLECTED CURBSIDE VERSUS THE CONVENIENCE CENTER COLLECTION USE.
AT THE LAST MEETING WE TOLD YOU CURBSIDE WAS AT 75 PERCENT THROUGH APRIL.
IT'S NOW INCREASED TO 77 PERCENT. THE TRAFFIC NUMBERS THROUGH THE CONVENIENCE CENTER CONTINUE TO DRAW DOWN TO A TOTAL OF 64000 CARS IN APRIL.
AS I MENTIONED, I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION TOO THAT WE ARE STRUGGLING A LITTLE WITH STAFFING AT OUR CENTER. RIGHT NOW WE'RE DOWN 25 PERCENT OF OUR PART ATTENDANCE.
IT'S BEEN QUITE A TASK FOR OUR OPERATIONS. AND WE KNOW THAT OTHER SERVICE ORIENTED BUSINESSES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'D LIKE TO GIVE TO THOSE TWO MONTH OPERATIONS SUPERINTENDENT AND HE'S TRYING TO SHUFFLE PEOPLE RIGHT ON AS WE LOSE STAFF MAYBE GOING BACK TO OUR REPORTS THE RECYCLING TONNAGE WAS THIRTY FIVE NINETY EIGHT IN APRIL OF TWENTY TWENTY THERE IS A SLIGHT INCREASE TO THIRTY EIGHT FIFTY ONE SO WE'VE GAINED TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR OUR TOTAL REVENUES REMAIN IN THE RED FOR RECYCLING BUT CURRENTLY IT'S ONLY 44000 WHICH IS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN APRIL OF LAST YEAR AT TWO HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND IN QUESTIONS HAND.
MY KIDS JUST PIGGY BACK. YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SAID BUT FROM RECYCLING CENTER I ABOUT DAN PINE WE'RE IN AND IT'S ROUGH GOING IN. THE ONE THING THEY'VE PUT UP THAT SCREEN. WE HAVE THREE LANES WHERE YOU CAN GET IN THERE ONE LANE TO GO AND TWO LANES. DOUG, YOU'RE ON SOLID WASTE WITH THEY SCREEN UP THERE.
[00:05:04]
IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN. YOU KNOW, YOU GOT DOWN LADY ON A GUY WHO TAKES OUT YOU KNOW, TAKES THE PHONE AND HIT YOU ON DOWN.>> YEAH, DEKALB THERE. OKAY. UNTIL YOU GET PAST HER AND THEN YOU GOT A BOMB ON THERE BECAUSE YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LANE IN THE OTHER LANE IS LIKE YOU KNOW AND I'M PASSING THIS SONG CAUSE WHEN I GO DOWN THERE I HEAR PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT WHY DID THEY PUT THIS RED MESH ALL THE WAY OVER AND WE CAN'T GET IT OUT.
YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE ARE ALREADY THROUGH BUT THEY CAN'T GET OUT BECAUSE THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE AND THAT THAT'S A BIG BOTTLENECK RIGHT THERE. ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE SHOPPING CENTER? YES, WE HAVE THAT INFRASTRUCTURE NOW IT'S ONCE AND AT BLUFFTON. AND THE REASON THAT WE TRIED TO DO THAT IS NOT SAY WE CAN'T CHANGE IT IS BECAUSE WHEN WE GO LIES WHEN WE'RE ACTUALLY TURNING PEOPLE AWAY THAT DON'T HAVE TO GO. THAT'S THE EXIT LINE. SO IF THEY GO TO THE LADY THAT'S SCANNING THE DETAILS AND THEY DON'T HAVE A DETAIL, THAT'S THE WAY TO SHOVEL THE MAIL. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE WOULD HAVE I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING BUT THE ORANGE LINE IS RIGHT HERE. YES, SIR.
THERE'S A BOTTLENECK BACK HERE AFTER THERE'S A GIVE THE D GALLERY AND THERE'S A LINE HEY
,YOU GOING DOWN? >> YOU ONLY GOT ONE LINE TO GO IN THERE AND YOU SOME PEOPLE ARE STOPPING IN THE CENTER LINE INSTEAD OF STOPPING IN THE RIGHT ORDER STOP AND NO ONE
CAME AND THEY TRIED STAFF OVER HERE ALSO. >> AND SO YOU'VE GOT A BOTTLENECK. THIRDLY, YOU WEAR THE ORANGE THINGS THAT CLOSE SO YOU DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO GO IN. YOU CAN HEAR THE AGGRAVATION. WELL, WE DIDN'T NEED.
WE DON'T REALLY NEED TO STICK IT OUT IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
SO WE'LL LOOK AT IT. WE MIGHT COULD DO A LITTLE BETTER AT MARKING THE TEAM LINES THAT THANKS MAYBE. THAT WOULD PROBABLY HELP. BUT BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THE NEXT MEETING IF IT HASN'T GOTTEN BETTER, I'LL SEE SOMETHING HERE.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE'RE A WORK IN PROGRESS. YOU KNOW AND I'M SORRY.
>> I KNOW YOU SAID THIS BUT I GOT SO CONFUSED BUT I REMEMBER THE YOU SAID THE RECITE OR THE
SOLID WASTE TONNAGE WAS. >> YOU JUST SAID IT WAS UP OR DOWN.
IT WAS ACTUALLY UP SOME THIS YEAR FROM THIRTY FIVE NINETY EIGHT IN APRIL OF TWENTY TWENTY TO THIRTY EIGHT FIFTY ONE OKATIE BUT THE TRAFFIC SIGNIFICANTLY DOWN IS IT IS PEOPLE AT THE. WELL THE ONES THERE WERE THERE RECYCLE OR RECYCLE MORE.
I REALLY ATTRIBUTE THE DROP IN TRAFFIC TO THE THREE DAYS AWAY VERSUS UNLIMITED TRIBUTE ALSO MORE TO I THINK THE CONTRACTORS THAN FROM ELSEWHERE PEOPLE PROBABLY MANY PEOPLE AND MORE INSTEAD OF COMING IN THREE OR FOUR TIMES A WEEK OR WHATEVER. AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD. YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT THE RECYCLING NUMBERS IS WHAT THERE WAS THAT THE RESIDENTS. YEAH, THAT I SAW WAS AT THIS MONTHLY PROCESSING FROM WASTE
MANAGEMENT FOLKS ON YOUR A4 RIG FOR THE VERY LAST DAY. >> YEAH.
WELL WE HAVE REVENUES ON THE LAYOFFS. AND THEN WE HAVE ALL OF OUR MORE INFORMATION ON THE LINE. WE'RE AS WE'RE NOT WE'RE ON THE LEFT CHART.
WE ARE STILL A LITTLE RAN ON THE RIGHT OF WHAT WE HAD TO PAY.
SO THERE'S A BALANCE BUT AT THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE WERE IN THE RED TWO HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND THIS YEAR WERE ONLY REPORTING FOR A SITE ONLY 44 CENTS LIKE THIS A SMALLER NUMBER OF OBVIOUSLY THAT INCREASE WAS DUE TO THE RECYCLING REVENUE.
[00:10:03]
>> YES, CLOSE TO THAT I WOULD CERTAINLY GO ON AND YOU WILL SEE NOTICE IF YOU COMPARE LAST YEAR'S REPORT THAT THE OTHER CHARGES FOR OUR CREDITS ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.
>> THIS COVID THING, IT WAS ACTUALLY A TREAT AN INTERESTING BLESSING ON COMMODITY SECONDARY COMMODITIES MARKETS. IT ACTUALLY CLEANED OUT WITH ALL PEOPLE BUYING STUFF FAR MORE THAN BUYING STUFF PERIOD ON AMAZON. IT WAS A VERY INTERESTING CLEAN OUT OF BACKLOG OF PAPER CARDBOARD PAPER. ALL THOSE COMMODITIES HAVE COME BACK UP AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE REPORT THAT MAY BE IMPACTING WHAT WE'RE SEEING.
IT'S A BIG I MEAN THINK THEY'RE MOVING NOW TO RECYCLING FOR A REPORT LAST QUARTER MEETING
[9. RECYCLING COORDINATOR REPORT]
THEIR REQUEST FOR ALL KINDS OF ELECTRONIC WASTE COLLECTED RECYCLING ITEMS COUNTY HAS HOW PERFORMANCE FROM SEPTEMBER 2020 TO MAKE IT THOUSAND TWENTY ONE ABOUT.WE RECYCLE ONE HUNDRED EIGHT POINT SIXTY FOUR TIMES E WASTE FROM A THREE PREVIOUS I'VE BEEN TOLD WE'RE ANTICIPATING TO RECEIVE THE TOTALS FROM THE MAY 20 SECOND EVENT SOON.
THERE WERE A TOTAL ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE VEHICLES CALCULATED THAT PERSISTED PARTICIPATED IN THE MAY 22ND OF A VOLUNTEER CO-ORDINATOR REPORT.
[10. VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR REPORT]
>> OK. CAROLYN ME YOU WOULD BE FOR COUNTY AND I'LL GIVE YOU FIRST OF UPDATE WITH THE ADOPT A HIGHWAY PROGRAM. CURRENTLY WE HAVE ONE HUNDRED AND TEN ADOPT A HIGHWAY, ADOPT A BOAT LANDING GROUPS SO THAT EACH JUST MAINTAINING RIGHT NOW WE ARE ADDING SOME GROUPS AND ALWAYS LOSING SOME GROUPS. SO TO EVEN MAINTAIN ONE HUNDRED AND TEN REALLY IS A GOOD GOOD THING. WE HAVE PICKED UP TWENTY NOT TWENTY NINE HUNDRED BAGS OF LITTER SO FAR THIS YEAR VOLUNTEERS RECORDED IS FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED VOLUNTEER HOURS BEFORE COUNTY HAVE BEEN DEVOTE INTO LITTER PICKUPS. JUST ONCE AGAIN A HUGE TEAM EFFORT.
IN ADDITION FOR EARTH DAY WE HAD SOME WATER CLEANING UP CLEANUPS.
HILTON HEAD CHRISTIAN ACADEMY WENT UNDERNEATH THE HILTON HEAD BRIDGE AND THEY PICKED UP 45 BAGS OF LITTER THE COAT STOLE CONSERVATION EGG AND BEAUFORT PICKED UP RIGHT AROUND BATTERY CREEK RIGHT HERE ON BOUNDARY STREET AND THEY PICKED 55 BAGS OF LITTER.
SO THE GOOD NEWS IS WE'VE GOT SOME NEW GROUPS STARTING TO PAY ATTENTION TO OUR WATERWAYS.
SO THEY'VE REMOVED 100 BAGS LITTER. ANOTHER THING I THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO KNOW IS THROUGH OUR KBC B GRAM WE HAVE LAUNCHED A DO NOT LITTER CAMPAIGN.
YOU GUYS CAN SEE THIS SIGN RIGHT THERE. AND WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED THESE SIGNS TO OUR ADOPT A HIGHWAY GROUPS OR ADOPT A HIGHWAY. GROUPS HAVE BEEN REQUESTING DO NOT LITTER MESSAGING IN THEIR AREA. AND SO WE HAVE ASKED FOR THE YEARS OVER THE YEARS FOR JYOTI TO POST DO NOT LITTER SIZE WHICH THEY WILL NOT DO.
SO WE WERE TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE OUR ADOPT A HIGHWAY GROUPS BY OFFERING SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE CREATIVE AND WE ACTUALLY THESE LITTLE SIGNS HAD BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT WE HAVE SOMEONE IN VIEW FOR COUNTY AND ADOPT A HIGHWAY GROUP PUT THE SIGN OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF A TOWNHOUSE AND IT'S THE ENTRANCE AND THE EXIT TO A TOWNHOUSE COMPLEX THAT WAS HORRIBLE. THERE WERE KIDS THAT'S WHERE THEY CATCH THE BUS.
AND IT REALLY HAS MADE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE. SO WE ARE AT LEAST DOING WHAT WE CAN TO PROMOTE AND DO NOT LITTER CAMPAIGN. WE ALSO HAVE IT'S SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS. WE HAVE TO WE HAD ON THE BACK OF THE PERMIT A BREEZE BY WE HAVE TO DO NOT LITTER SIGNS POSTED THE PERMIT A BREEZE GAVE US A GREAT DEAL 70 PERCENT OFF THEIR RATES. SO WE HAVE DO NOT LITTERING. THIS IS YOUR COMMUNITY.
SAME THING. I THINK THAT'S REALLY UNIQUE MESSAGE THAT OUR TRAIL CAME UP WITH. AND SO THEY WE SIGNED A YEAR CONTRACT WITH THEM.
ONE OF OUR COWORKERS SAW IT ON THE WAY TO WORK, GOT REALLY EXCITED.
THEY'RE ALL OVERDUE FOR COUNTY AND IT'S FOR YEARS. SO THAT'S ANOTHER THING WE'RE
[00:15:04]
TRYING TO DO WITH IT. DO NOT LITTER CAMPAIGN. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT VOLUNTEERS ADOPT A HIGHWAY PROGRAM OR ARE DO NOT LITTER CAMPAIGN? ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO OUR TRAIL FOR COMING UP WITH THE IDEA FOR THESE SIGNS AND CREATING A[11. LITTER AND ENFORCEMENT INITIATIVE REPORT]
RADAR TRAIL. CAN YOU PROVIDE THE LITTER AND ENFORCEMENT REPORT? JUST ONE DAY I'LL JUST BE SPEAKING ABOUT A COUPLE EVENTS OR ABOUT AN EVENT AN UPDATE ON WEDNESDAY APRIL 21ST 2021. BEFORE COMING POSTED ITS FOURTH ANNUAL EARTH DAY CLEANUP.WE HAD ONE HUNDRED THIRTY ONE COUNTY EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATING FROM A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS. THAT'S ALSO TO INCLUDE A FEW EMPLOYEES FROM JASPER COUNTY TOWN OF BLUFFTON BLUFFTON POLICE DEPARTMENT, COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THE CITY OF BEAUFORT PUBLIC WORKS. WHEN WE TOTAL WE COLLECTED A TOTAL OF SIX HUNDRED FOURTEEN BAGS ACROSS ALL ELEVEN ELEVEN COUNCIL DISTRICTS. OUR GRAND TOTAL WAS TWELVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY POUNDS OR SIX POINT FOURTEEN TONS OF LITTER COLLECTED.
I'D SAY THE BEST TWO THINGS ABOUT THIS EVENT. PICKED UP ONE HUNDRED THREE BAGS LESS THAN WE DID LAST YEAR AND AFTER WE SORTED THROUGH ALL OF OUR BAGS FOR BICYCLES FOR A DEGREE REDUCED THAT 614 BAG COUNT DOWN THE FARM IN TWO BAGS THAT WERE ACTUALLY TAKEN TO OUR LOCAL CONVENIENCE CENTER. SO WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THAT .
THE ONLY THING I HAVE AFTER THAT IS THE DAY WATCH LITTER PROGRAM CAME TO A HALT DUE TO CURB IT AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE'LL BE REINSTATING THAT PROGRAM ON JULY 1ST. THANK YOU. GOOD JOB ON THE RECYCLING TO.
I HAVE A QUESTION WAS THERE ANY TYPE OF LITTER THAT WAS PARAMOUNT? THAT'S COMPARED TO SOMETHING ELSE JUST ON A GENERAL BASIS OR A QUARTER OF IT UNCLEAN GIVEN? NO, SIR. YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S DIFFERENT IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD OUTSIDE SOME OF THE BIGGER HIGHWAYS. YES. YOU DO SEE A LOT MORE DESTRUCTION DEBRIS THAT SORT OF THING, LARGER OBJECTS. BUT ALL IN ALL IT'S JUST STANDARD WATER BOTTLES CUPS ON PAPER EVERY NIGHT EVERY NIGHT. AND KEITH SENDING US WE CAN MOVE ON INTO THE DISCUSSION ITEMS NOW. JUST JUST I WILL THROW IN FOR ENFORCEMENT TODAY THE BACK. WE HAVE SERGEANT RICHARD PENNINGTON, SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
HE JUST HE IS NOW A SUPERVISOR OF THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE ENVIRONMENTAL CRIMES UNIT.
OH, THANK YOU. EXCELLENT. ALL RIGHT.
[12. UPDATE CONVENIENCE CENTER DECAL PROGRAM]
CINDY, YOU WANT TO MOVE ON INTO THE DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT.OH, PROBABLY FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF ITEMS. I'LL TRY TO GET AS MANY UPDATES AND ANSWER AS MANY QUESTIONS BY HAND FOR THE DETAILS. RIGHT NOW WE RECEIVE FORTY SIX THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND TWO AS OF YESTERDAY OF NEW APPLICATIONS ARE SLOWING DOWN CONSIDERABLY. WE'RE STILL WORKING A LOT OF ERRORS, APPLICATIONS AND A LOT OF THE POSTCARD APPLICATIONS BECAUSE THOSE AFTER BEING MANUALLY ENTER WE'RE FINDING A LOT OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY RESERVES TENANTS OF PROPERTIES AND WE'RE HAVING TO GO THROUGH THAT MECHANISM A LOT OF THEM MORE FROM COMMERCIAL APARTMENT BUILDINGS . SO YOU JUST HAVE TO GO THROUGH EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY.
AND IT'S VERY TIME CONSUMING. ALWAYS WANT TO THANK ANGEL LARSEN KOSKI.
SHE'S BEEN HITTING THIS UP FOR ME AND SHE'S DONE A REMARKABLE JOB.
WE ARE STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS RIGHT NOW. THE CENTERS ARE OPEN IN THE SOFT OPENING WE STARTED JANUARY 1ST. SO IF YOU COME INTO THE CENTER AND YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR DETAIL FOR WHATEVER REASON WE'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE SLIP OF PAPER WITH SOME WEB SITE SO THAT YOU CAN GO AND DO YOUR OWN REGISTRATION AND THEN WE HOPE TO GO TO A FIRM OPENING TALKING ABOUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE, ROADS ALL THIS SEGMENT SO ESPECIALLY SHANKLIN AND LOVED AND YES, SHE WILL BE RALLIED TO THAT FAR WHEN FLYING INTO A CITY FACILITY AT ST.
HELENA. YOU WOULD BE TURNED AROUND, MAKE A U-TURN BECAUSE THERE'S RUNNING THERE TO DO THAT. HILTON HEAD THERE ACTUALLY SCANNING AT THE ROADWAY.
SO YOU JUST WOULD NOT ENTER THE FACILITY. THE TWO FACILITIES WILL BE REMAIN OPEN FOR RECYCLING. RIGHT NOW ONLY BE SHEINDLIN AND BLUFFTON EVEN IF YOU'RE AN APARTMENT COMPLEX YOU CAN BECAUSE THOSE RECYCLING AREAS OR BEFORE THE SCANNING DEVICE SO WE MAY OPEN THAT UP LATER SOME OTHER OPPORTUNITIES. RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY OUT OF DETAIL OR THAT THEY HAVE TRASH SERVICE PROVIDED FROM THE COMMERCIAL
[00:20:02]
ENTITY. SO HOPEFULLY ON THE SECOND WE'LL HAVE SOME MORE INFORMATION. THOSE NUMBERS MIGHT LOOK A LOT BETTER EVEN US.ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE. MR. BRIAN, I DO APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. I'M GOING TO MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ONE WE'VE HAD TO OUR KIDS OUT
[13. CONTRACT AWARD [RFP 040621] SCRAP METAL & WHITE GOODS]
IN THE MOST RECENT FEATURE BACK FIRST OF APRIL WE HAD ONE FOR OUR SPREAD MAN WITH WHITE GOODS. WE RECEIVED FOUR BEARDS. WE FORMED A COMMITTEE.WE REVIEW THOSE BEARDS AND AWARD WAS JUST CHARLESTON STEELE THAT DID NOT HAVE TO GO
[14. UPDATE [RFP 041621] RECYCLABLES SERVICES]
THROUGH COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT WAS RED AND THE UGLY OF THE NEXT RFP THAT OUT CURRENTLY WE'VE RECEIVED SEVEN BIDS. WE DO HAVE A COMMITTEE FORMED AND THE VIEWS ARE STILL UNDER REVIEW. WE HOPE TO HAVE A RECOMMENDATION ON THAT RFP TO PUBLIC FACILITIES BY JUNE 20. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? THE NEXT SITE WILL BE OUR[15. ENTERPRISE FUND UPDATE]
ENTERPRISE FUND SOLVERS AND OUR RECYCLING ENTERPRISE WAS ESTABLISHED THREE THREE WAY THAT THREE READINGS OF COUNTY COUNCIL AND RESOLUTION ORDINANCE 2020 SLASH NINETEEN THERE WAS AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THAT ORDINANCE THIS PAST MONDAY MAY 24 OR SO.NOT ONLY DID WE FORM THE ENTERPRISE FUND BUT NOW WE HAVE THE FEE STRUCTURE FOR THAT INCLUDES THE ORDINANCE IN YOUR PACKAGE WE HAD ORIGINALLY CALLED PARTICULAR BIAS ABOUT THE FOR THOSE ON REVENUES IT WAS DETERMINED BY COUNCIL THAT THEY WOULD RATHER USE MILLAGE.
>> WE DON'T HAVE THE CURRENT MILLAGE RATE RIGHT NOW BUT WE THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ABOUT FUND MEALS TO FORM OUR BUDGET FOR THIS COMING YEAR AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE BOARD AND YOUR SUPPORT THROUGH ALL THIS AND WE REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THIS COMING YEARS THAT'S GOING TO BE STRICTLY A SOLID WAY DIRECTLY FOR SOLID WASTE IF YOU LOOK AT YOUR TAX BILLS NOW THERE'S ACTUALLY A LISTENING AT THE BOTTOM FOR STORMWATER SO THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT THEY'RE PAYING STORMWATER. SO WHAT THIS IS DOING IS THERE'S GOING TO BE A SEPARATE THING THAT'LL SAVE SOLID WASTE BUT IT'S NOT AN ADDITIONAL FEE IF SOMETHING IS A MILLAGE THAT WAS ALREADY IN THE GENERAL FUND BUT IT'S NOW BEING LISTED OUT SO PEOPLE CAN SEE WHAT THEY WERE ALREADY PAYING FOR THEIR SOLLOWAY BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL HAVE THE MISCONCEPTION THAT SOLID WASTE IS VERY SEA HYDRO. SHE SEE WOULD PUT WOULDN'T WHEN I UNDERSTAND WOULD YOU SAY BUT THERE IS ALWAYS ABOUT THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD US ABOUT YOU.
YOU KNOW WE GOT INTO YOU'RE PAYING FOR THE SATELLITE NINE HOURS.
DID YOU PAY FOR THE DRAINAGE, YOU KNOW TO KEEP IT CLEAN AND ALL THIS STUFF.
BUT WHEN YOU ARRIVE I REALIZE YOU'RE RECOUNTING THIS GROWING BUT WHEN DO THESE PEOPLE EVER COME AROUND AND DO THIS STUFF ON THE DRAIN THAT WE PAINT AS MILLAGE FOR? YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, I AGREE WAS THE BUTTE COUNTY IS GROWN AND IS STILL GROWING.
YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN HERE A WHILE BUT I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS I DON'T GET BECAUSE I DON'T SEE PEOPLE COMING AROUND AND ACTUALLY TAKING CARE SPRING OR THE RATTLES.
YOU KNOW, WE EITHER I DON'T HAVE YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING BIG.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU TAKE PICTURES OF THE LAST RAIN WE GET.
I CAN'T LET MY EIGHT YEAR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER GO IN THE BACK YARD IN CLAY BECAUSE THE MINUTE SHE GOES OUT YOU GOT 747 ATTACK IN HER AND ATTACK ME, YOU KNOW. SO YOU DO THERE'S A BODY IN
HERE. >> I UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M GETTING DID THERE'S A COUPLE OF DRAINAGE AREAS WHERE I'M LIVING AND I NEVER SEE ANYBODY .
[00:25:08]
>> WHERE DO YOU LIVE IN THIS RANCH PINEWOOD? I BELIEVE IT'S ALWAYS MAINTAINED BY SOUTH CAROLINA DOJ. I CAN TELL YOU THAT KIND OF STORM MORE REGULARLY MAYBE ALL COUNTY. SO AND WOULDN'T YOU WOULD HAVE SAID WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT I'VE BEEN TO I WENT TO PUBLIC WORKS AND SHOWED THE PICTURES.
I'VE BEEN DOWN. OKATIE. AND THEY TELL ME WELL THAT YOU KNOW, SAYS LIKE YOU SAY THAT SOMEBODY ELSE NOT. I'LL SHOW YOU I CAN SHOW YOU THE PERSON TEARS THAT I KNOW WHEN THE LAST RAINSTORM CAME ABOUT AND IT'S IT'S YOU KNOW, I KNOW AND I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PAYING THE EXTRA
MILLION. >> I AM TRIAL PAIN IN EVERY TIME IT IS A HARD RAIN AROUND HERE AND TO ONE PARTICULAR AREA WHERE I LIVE AND I HAVE A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY MOSQUITOES
AND THEY LIKE. >> YES. YOU KNOW AND NOW IT'S DRY.
THERE IS NO MOSQUITOES. BUT I KNOW AS SOON AS THE NEXT HARD RAIN COMES ALONG THERE'S GOING TO BE THAT PART. IT IS GOING TO BE 747 AGAIN IF YOU'LL SEND ME THE ADDRESS, I'LL PASS IT ON TO OUR STORMWATER FOLKS. BUT JUST I WANT TO BE CONFUSING THE ORDINANCE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. IT'S GONNA BE FOR SOLVENTS OR RECYCLING AND IT'S GOT A FEE BASED IS GOING TO BE A MILITARY BASE.
>> I DON'T THINK AS FAR AS STORMWATER CAN SPEAK TO THE STORMWATER PART BUT THE THE YOU KNOW, THE SOLID WASTE PART OF IT IS VERY OBVIOUS VERY MEASURABLE TOO.
OBVIOUSLY WHEN THAT TRASH GOES TO THE LANDFILL SO YOU CAN SEE EXACTLY WHERE YOUR MONEY IS GOING AND THE MISSING ELEMENTS. NOW FINISH UP WITH WESTERN AND SAMSUNG AND THE SUSTAINABILITY
[16. WESTON AND SAMPSON – SUSTAINABILITY CAMPUS OPTIONS]
CAMPUS. YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER WE CONTRACTED WITH WESTERN SAMPSON TO DO A REGIONAL FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT. I WAS WITH BEAUFORT COLLEGE IN JASPER HAMPTON COUNTIES. WE DID GET THAT FINAL REPORT AND I THINK IT WAS AUGUST OF LAST YEAR. OBVIOUSLY WHAT IT SHOWS MOST IS IT HAS ALL SIGNAGE AND NOT MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO DO SOMETHING THAT OUR SALES. SO WE'VE GOTTEN BACK IN TOUCH WITH WESTERN STATES AND WE NEVER PURCHASE PLACE AND THEY ARE DETERMINING IF WE AS OPTIONS FOR A SUSTAINABILITY CAMPUS HERE PEOPLE CAN. SO AS SOON AS WE GET THAT REPORT BACK FROM THEM OBVIOUSLY WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT OUT. I THINK THERE'S MORE THAN ONE OPTION, ONE PARTIALLY ACCEPTABLE. AND WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT TO THE BOARD AND THEN ON TO PUBLIC FACILITIES. IS THERE A TIMEFRAME? I THINK THEY'RE WORKING ON IT. I ALSO HAVE NOT HEARD SOME FRIDAY THE END OF THAT REPORT.AND JUST TO LET YOU KNOW TO WE'RE WORKING WITH ABBY GOLDSMITH AGAIN.
SHE'S GOING TO DO OUR SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT POINT UPDATE. SHE'S HAD A COUPLE OF CALLS WITH THE MUNICIPALITIES. I KNOW SHE DID TOWN BLUFFTON TOWN HILTON HEAD AND A VIEW FOR JUST TO GET STARTED WITH WHAT THEY HAD IN PLACE AND HOW THAT PLAYS INTO OUR PLAN.
SHE HAS A CALL WITH THE TOWN FOR OIL ON TUESDAY AND WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR VISION FOR 20 FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS. SO ALL THESE PIECES ARE GONNA EVENTUALLY FIT TOGETHER THOUGH IT SEEMS A LITTLE DISJOINTED RIGHT NOW BUT THERE IS A POINT. THE ONLY THE ONLY LONELY NERVE RACKING THING ABOUT THAT IS THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE LANDFILL CONTRACT OBVIOUSLY IS COMING AND YOU KNOW THE CONSULTANTS AND THE TIME AND THEN THE BUILD IN THAT YOU KNOW, IF THERE'S CHANGES ARE GOING TO BE MADE. I MEAN IT'S YOU'RE AT TIMES THREE TO THREE YEARS TO FOUR YEARS TO HIM. I AND ALL THAT STUFF GOING AND OBVIOUSLY VERBALLY WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE WILL BE SOME ADDITIONAL LIFE, THERE WILL BE AN OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
MAYBE THEY'LL DO A TRANSFER STATION SO THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THESE AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE SOME RESOLUTION SAYING ANY CHANCE TO GET A LOOK AT WHAT THE WESTERN IN SAMPSON SCOPE OF WALKER'S FOR WHICH ONE YOU WANT TO SEE FROM THE FEASIBILITY STUDY?
>> YES. I'LL SEND YOU THAT REPORT BECAUSE THE MULTI COUNTY
[00:30:06]
ALTHOUGH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY ALMOST LOCKED IN TWO OPTIONS AND ELIMINATED OPTIONS AS OPPOSED TO AGAIN BEING A FEASIBILITY STUDY.IS THERE MUCH OF THAT BEING USED FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY RECORD? IT DOES. AND YOU RAN BEHIND US AND THAT IS THAT EVERYBODY GOT A COPY YET? YEAH. YEAH, JUST JUST LIKE TO SEE
WHAT WHAT THEY'RE REALLY DOING, WHAT THE SCOPE IS FOR. >> SO THEY'RE ACTUALLY GONNA COME RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LATE PLOTS OF LAND OR THAT LEVEL. YES.
THANKS. ANY MORE QUESTIONS OR OF COURSE JUST A COUPLE.
>> SURE. OBVIOUSLY HOPEFULLY THEY SEVERE DROUGHT OR WHAT THEY DO IS JUST TELL US ABOUT THE ABOUT OUR HOUSEHOLD WORK AND OUR PREDECESSORS, OUR JOHN.
WELL, HE FINALLY RETIRED AND GET A VERY GOOD WORKING VISIT WITH HIM.
I CONTINUE THAT AGAIN WITHOUT THEIR HELP. WE HOPE TO THANK YOU, TIM.
SO THEY COME IN VERY HANDY VERY QUICK. HELP ME OUT WITH JUST SEVERAL QUESTIONS. ARE ACTUAL TRASH PICKUP. SO WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THIS IS WALTER ANY BOARD REQUEST? >> NOTHING.
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL ADJOURN THIS MEETING AND THE NEXT MEETING IS GOING TO BE OR WE JUST HAVE A MOTION FOR ADJOURNMENT.
ALL RIGHT. SO OUR NEXT MEETING WILL BE HELD ON JULY 20 SECONDS AT 2:00
