[Report of the Town Manager]
MANAGER NECESSARY[Items of Interest]
AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.UM, I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO JOSH, BUT JUST AS A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND, UM, WE KNOW THAT WE'RE CONSTITUTIONALLY OBLIGATED TO UNDERTAKE A REALLY A REDRAWING OF OUR WARDS IN RESPONSE TO ANY NEW CENSUS DATA.
AS WE KNOW ON AUGUST 12TH, UM, A LITTLE MORE THAN, UH, A MONTH OR SO AGO, WE RECEIVED THE 2020 CENSUS DATA UPDATE.
UM, JOSH IS HERE TODAY TO REALLY LET YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US, WHAT THE PROCESS IS MOVING FORWARD.
UM, I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE CONTACTED THE SOUTH CAROLINA REVENUE AND FISCAL AFFAIRS OFFICE.
IT USED TO BE CALLED THE OFFICE OF RESEARCH AND STATISTICS FOR THE STATE BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD.
UM, AND SO THEIR NEW OFFICE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME.
UM, THE SOUTH CAROLINA REVENUE FISCAL AFFAIRS OFFICE HAS BEEN CONTACTED TO HELP US THROUGH THE REDISTRICTING, UM, CONVERSATION AND PERHAPS CHANGES THAT WE MIGHT NEED TO MAKE.
UM, IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THIS IS THE SAME OFFICE THAT HELPED US LAST TIME IN 2011 WITH THE SAME.
SO WITH THAT, TURN IT OVER TO JOSH AND I'M HERE TO ALSO ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU, MR. ORLANDO MEMBERS OF TOWN COUNCIL, UM, WITHIN THE MEMO THAT YOU HAVE WITHIN YOUR PACKET, JUST KIND OF WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROCESS IS GOING TO BE AND WORKING WITH THE OFFICE OF REVENUE AND FISCAL AFFAIRS.
UH, THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE THE CENSUS DATA THAT'S PROVIDED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND WORK DIRECTLY WITH YOU ALL AND THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS THAT WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH IN ORDER TO REDRAW OUR WARD BOUNDARIES FOR TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS, UH, SO THAT WE COMPLY WITH ALL
[00:05:01]
OF THE APPLICABLE CONSTITUTIONAL PRO, UH, PROVISIONS THAT APPLY TO THIS PROCESS.WITHIN THAT MEMO, THERE WAS A COUPLE OF ATTACHMENTS THAT I THINK ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT BECAUSE THEY KIND OF OUTLINED HOW THE REVENUE AND FISCAL AFFAIRS OFFICE IS GOING TO APPROACH THIS PROCESS.
AND KIND OF SOME OF THE STEPS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO ENGAGE IN ONE OF THE FIRST ONES IS GOING TO BE COMING DOWN AND MEETING WITH YOU ALL AND MEETING WITH THE PUBLIC, UH, TO KIND OF REALLY GO OVER THIS PROCESS IN DETAIL, TO EXPLAIN THE INS AND OUTS AND HOW THEY WILL BE GOING ABOUT TAKING THE CENSUS DATA, HOW THEY WILL BE APPLYING IT TO ENSURE EQUAL REPRESENTATION ACROSS THE WARD DISTRICTS.
UH, VERY IMPORTANTLY, HOW WE'RE GOING TO GO ABOUT IDENTIFYING EXISTING COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST, UH, SO THAT AS WE REDRAW OUR DISTRICT BOUNDARIES, AND WE MADE SURE THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN, WE KEEP THOSE COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST CONNECTED AND THEN ULTIMATELY PREPARE DRAFTS REDRILL REDRAWN DISTRICT MAPS FOR COUNCIL TO CONSIDER.
SO ALL OF THAT PROCESS IS ESSENTIALLY IN KEEPING WITH THE WAY THAT WE'VE REDISTRICTED PREVIOUSLY AND THE WAY THAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO UNDER THE LAW IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO COME FORWARD WITH REDRAWN MAPS.
THE ONE THING THAT I DO NOT HAVE FOR YOU JUST YET IS A DATE WE'RE WORKING WITH THE REVENUE AND FISCAL AFFAIRS OFFICE TO IDENTIFY A TIME FOR THEM TO COME DOWN AND BEGIN MAKING THAT PRESENTATION AND TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
HOWEVER, UH, WE ARE TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE PACK A LITTLE BIT PRIMARILY BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS THIS NOVEMBER.
SO THE REVENUE AND FISCAL AFFAIRS OFFICE IS WORKING WITH A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS.
SOME OF WHOM DO HAVE ELECTIONS COMING UP HERE IN A MATTER OF WEEKS.
AND SO THEY'RE KIND OF WORKING WITH THOSE ORGANIZATIONS FIRST AND FOREMOST, AND THEY WILL BE WORKING WITH US.
WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT SAME LEVEL OF PRIORITY BECAUSE OUR ELECTIONS AREN'T GOING TO TAKE PLACE UNTIL NOVEMBER OF 2022.
UM, SO AS SOON AS WE HAVE A DATE AND TIME KIND OF IDENTIFIED WITH THEM, WE'RE GOING TO LET YOU KNOW, SO THAT THEY'RE GOING TO COME DOWN AND START MAKING THOSE PRESENTATIONS, GETTING FEEDBACK FROM YOU ALL AS A COUNCIL, GETTING FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC, AND THEN ULTIMATELY AT SOME POINT IN TIME AFTER THAT, DELIVERING A PROPOSED SET OF REDRAWN DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.
UM, SO WITH THAT, WE'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MIGHT HAVE ALEX.
AFTERNOON, UH, MR. MAYO, MR. LANDO, AND JUST A GROOMER.
UM, I GUESS I'LL START WITH, UM, I CAN APPRECIATE THE, UH, WE HAVE NO FISCAL AFFAIRS, UH, YOU'LL SEND HIM THE GUIDELINES.
UM, WHAT, AT THE MOMENT WHO WAS WORKING ON THIS FOR US RIGHT NOW? SO INTERNALLY WE HAVE STAFF WITHIN OUR GIS OR GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS DEPARTMENT.
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ESSENTIALLY MAINTAIN THE TOWN MAPS AND AT THE HEART OF THIS PROCESS, THAT IS WHAT WE ARE WORKING WITH IS MAPS AND BOUNDARIES.
AND SO THE TECHNICAL STAFF FROM THE TOWN STANDPOINT IS FOLKS FROM WITHIN THAT DEPARTMENT.
AND DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE IN HAND THE UPDATED CENSUS DATA FOR HILTON HEAD? WE HAVE IT FOR THE COUNTY AND WE HAVE IT AS A MUNICIPALITIES.
SO WE KNOW THAT BASED UPON THE INFORMATION THAT WE HAD AN INCREASE OF 562 PEOPLE FROM 2010 TO 2020, AS FAR AS A CENSUS NUMBER GOES, AND I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR, THAT'S JUST WHAT'S REPORTED IN THE CENSUS.
SO, UM, THOSE ARE KNOWN KIND OF VARIABLES, BUT, UH, AS FAR AS THE INDIVIDUAL, UM, UH, THE, NOT THE ZIP CODES, BUT THE, UM, CENSUS DISTRICTS.
THE, YES, THE POPULATION CHANGES AT THAT LEVEL.
WE DO NOT HAVE THAT INFORMATION YET.
WE ARE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE THAT INFORMATION FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON OR ABOUT SEPTEMBER 30TH.
AND WHAT ABOUT THE CHANGE IN POPULATION? UM, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE INCREASE, BUT HOW IT HAS FLUCTUATED BETWEEN ETHNIC GROUPS.
UM, AGAIN, WE KNOW THAT AT A HIGHER LEVEL, SO WE KNOW THE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION FOR THE TOWN AS A MUNICIPAL BOUNDARY AND FOR THE COUNTY, BUT WE DON'T KNOW IT DOWN TO THE INDIVIDUAL WARDS OR INDIVIDUAL CENSUS DISTRICTS.
UM, SO THESE DOCUMENTS THAT YOU, UH, PROVIDED FOR US, UH, THEY SPEAK, THEY SPEAK TO,
[00:10:01]
UH, COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST, I GUESS, THE WAY THAT THEY DEFINE THEM.DO, DO WE, OURSELVES AS A TOWN HAVE DEFINED THE COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST? YES.
THE REVENUE AND FISCAL AFFAIRS OFFICE WILL ASK YOU AS A GOVERNMENTAL BODY TO TAKE SOME KIND OF FORMAL ACTIONS TO IDENTIFY, UH, THE COMMUNITIES OF INTEREST THAT YOU BELIEVE ARE PRESENT ON THE ISLAND AS PART OF THEIR REDISTRICTING EXERCISE.
IT DOES, IT IS OUR GIS DEPARTMENT CURRENTLY WORKING ON DEFINING THAT.
NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF, BUT I'M SURE THAT WE CAN WORK WITH COUNCIL MEMBERS IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF KIND OF COMING UP WITH THAT INFORMATION.
YOU, YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND I AM BEING VERY, UH, VERY INTENTIONAL WITH MY QUESTIONS, OF COURSE.
UM, AND NOT TO BELABOR THE POINT, BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS AS A COUNCIL.
UM, NOT JUST RELY ON AN OUTSIDE.
UH, ALTHOUGH IT IS THE DEEMED AGENCY, THEY DO NOT KNOW OUR MUNICIPALITY AS WELL AS WE DO.
SO SOME SORT OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, UM, BEFORE THEY GET HERE, I CAN APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT WE AT THE BACK OF THE LINE THAT GIVES US MORE TIME TO GET OURSELVES TOGETHER.
UM, MANY OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW THAT MY WARD WARD ONE IS THE MOST DIVERSE WARD ON HILTON HEAD.
UM, AND I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY ASSUMPTIONS AS TO WHERE THE POPULATION INCREASE IS, BUT, UM, I HAVE TO LEARNING THAT THERE'S BEEN INCREASE IN THE HISPANIC POPULATION, COUNTYWIDE.
MAYBE THERE'S AN INCREASE HERE ON HILTON HEAD AND NOT BEING CERTAIN WHERE THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE LOCATED.
UH, JUST, UH, LEADS US TO NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION FIRMLY AS TO, WELL, WHERE ARE OUR, UH, GROUPS OF INTERESTS, UM, LOCATED HERE ON HILTON HEAD? UM, SO, UH, THANK YOU JOSH FOR THE UPDATE.
UH, BUT I, I THINK THAT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO HERE.
UH, WE DON'T WANT TO BE ACCUSED ON HILTON HEAD AT, UM, AS TO BE GERRYMANDERING TO ANY DEGREE.
AND WHEN YOU START TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE WAY HILTON HEAD LAYS OUT WITH ALL OF THE PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENTS THAT MAKES THE EXERCISE EVEN MORE TRICKY.
SO, UM, I THINK THIS ONE NEEDS OUR ATTENTION, UH, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
UM, SO AGAIN, I APPRECIATE THE INITIAL REPORT, BUT I EXPECT THAT WE SHOULD FURTHER THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE THE OFFICIAL SHOW UP.
LET ME JUST AN OBSERVATION IN OUR DISCUSSIONS AROUND THE LOCAL OPTION SALES TAX.
SO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND WAS 37,002, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND I THINK THAT IN OUR, OUR PLAN DOCUMENT, IT WAS REFERRING TO OUR POPULATION IS 39, 700 CLOSE TO 40,000.
UH, I GATHER THAT REDISTRICTING WILL BE ON THE 37,000 AND NOT THE 39,000.
SO IN A SENSE, WE'VE LOST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND RESIDENTS, UH, MAYBE THEY'RE NON-VOTING RESIDENTS, I'M NOT SURE.
SO JUST, JUST AN OBSERVATION, TAMMY.
I'M JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE, UM, I WAS OPEN TO WAITING TO HEAR HOW THIS UNFOLDS AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WE DON'T HAVE AN ELECTION THIS YEAR, THAT WE WOULD BE AT THE, UM, AT THE END OF GETTING ATTENTION WITH REGARD TO HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT, BUT DEFINING COMMUNITY OF INTEREST, AS I UNDERSTOOD IT WAS, WAS NOT NECESSARILY, UM, AS A, AS AN ETHNIC OR, UM, ANYTHING ALONG THOSE LINES, IT REALLY HAD MORE TO DO WITH, WITH TRULY INTERESTS AND NOT PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES.
SO I JUST WANT TO, I WONDER IF THERE'S AN ANSWER TO THAT.
UM, BUT I, I DON'T WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT THERE, THAT THERE ISN'T, I THINK WE'RE ONE COMMUNITY AND ONE ISLAND AND WE OUGHT TO SEE EACH OTHER ALL THAT WAY.
SO, UM, I'M JUST INTERESTED IN HOW THAT ACTUALLY, IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION, OTHERWISE I'M HAPPY.
SO W W WITHIN THE DOCUMENTS, THERE'S ALSO A Q AND A, BECAUSE THIS IS A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION THAT COMES UP.
SO IF YOUR COMMUNITY OF INTEREST IS NOT A SET STANDARD FOR DEFINING DISTRICTS, BUT IT'S CONSIDERED A PART OF THE TRADITIONAL REDISTRICTING PRINCIPLES, THE COMMUNITY OF INTEREST COULD BE A NEIGHBORHOOD, A COMMUNITY, A GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT HAS A COMMON POLICY CONCERNS,
[00:15:01]
AS WELL AS SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INTERESTS, AND WOULD BENEFIT FROM BEING MAINTAINED IN A SINGLE DISTRICT.ANOTHER WAY OF UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNITY OF INTEREST.
AND THIS IS A SIMPLY A WAY FOR A COMMUNITY TO TELL ITS OWN STORY ABOUT WHAT RESIDENTS SHARON AMAN AND WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE WHEN COMPARED TO SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.
THAT'S WHAT, THERE'S NO OTHER QUESTION, MR. ORLANDO, HAVE ANY MORE FOLLOW UP TO THAT? THIS IS IMPORTANT.
IT IS INTENTIONAL AS YOU'LL KNOW, IN A DRAFT STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WILL ASSUME, UH, COORDINATE ON AN OCTOBER.
THIS IS ONE OF THE STRATEGIES THAT STAFF WILL IMPLEMENT AND, AND TO THE COMMENTS HEARD IT IS DEFINITELY, UH, WE NEED EXTERNAL HELP AND THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO DO INTERNALLY AS WELL AS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
SO PLEASE KNOW THAT WE ARE TAKING THIS, UM, AND PRIORITIZING IT AS AN INTENTIONAL EXERCISE, EVEN THOUGH THE POPULATION, UM, HASN'T CHANGED ALL THAT MUCH, BUT WE WILL TAKE VERY CAREFUL STEPS TO GET THERE AS WELL.
UM, MOVING ALONG, WE HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS TO SHARE.
[MASC Presentation of the 2021 Municipal Achievement Award for the Rehabilitation of Storm Water Pump Stations]
BE A SURPRISE, BUT MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA PRESENTED, UH, TO THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND AT 2021 MUNICIPAL ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR THE REHABILITATION OF STORMWATER PULSE STATIONS.THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE WITH US IN A SECOND.
I WILL TURN IT OVER TO CHARLIE BAER.
NOW I'M WITH MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION AND HE WILL ALSO, UM, TURN IT OVER TO ERIC LAD.
I SEE ON THERE HOLDING WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE RYDER CUP, BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S ACTUALLY THE MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
UM, IT'S, IT'S FOR, UH, AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY, A $4.2 MILLION INVESTMENT PAID FOR BY STORMWATER UTILITY FEES.
AND IT WAS FOR THE JARVIS CREEK AND LAWTON LAWTON CANAL PUMP STATIONS.
UM, THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT IT IS NOT ONLY THAT WE WON THE AWARD.
OF COURSE, IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO BE, UM, RECOGNIZED AND, AND AMAZING JOB TO EVERYBODY.
ERIC INCLUDED IN JEFF BUCKALOO, SOMEWHERE ON HERE AS WELL, AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHERS, BUT WE'VE REALLY, UM, YOU KNOW, JUST BASED UPON THE INFORMATION, UM, AND THE STRATEGY BEHIND IT.
WE REDUCED THE POTENTIAL FLOODING FOR MORE THAN 3,500 PROPERTIES BY INVESTING IN THESE PUMP STATIONS.
SO CONGRATULATIONS TO HILTON HEAD ISLAND, UH, MR. BERNO, IF YOU HAD SOME THINGS TO SAY WORDS TO SAY, AND I KNOW THAT YOU ALSO HAVE, UH, WE ALSO HAVE A SHORT VIDEO TO WATCH, WHICH I THINK WILL, WILL TELL THE TALE MUCH BETTER THAN I AM.
WELL, GOOD AFTERNOON, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, AGAIN, ON BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND.
YOU ARE TO BE COMMENDED FOR YOUR, UH, PUBLIC WORKS ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
AND IF THAT VIDEO IS QUEUED UP, UM, I BELIEVE WE'RE READY TO SEE IT.
PUBLIC WORKS CATEGORY TOWN OF HILTON, HEAD ISLAND, STORM WATER PUMP STATIONS SERVE AS A VITAL PART OF FLOOD CONTROL FOR BARRIER ISLAND COMMUNITIES, SUCH AS HILTON HEAD ISLAND THAT HAVE LOW LYING WATERSHEDS INFLUENCED BY TIDES, THE JARVIS CREEK AND LAWTON CANAL PUMP STATIONS.
THE TOWNS TWO OLDEST NATIONS NEEDED MAJOR SYSTEM UPGRADES AS EVIDENCED BY SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, INCLUDING FAILURES DURING HURRICANE MATTHEW AND MOUNTING REPAIR COSTS.
AFTER IDENTIFYING THE STATION'S DEFICIENCIES STAFF, WORKED WITH THE ORIGINAL PUMP MANUFACTURER AND A CONTRACTOR TO CREATE A COST-EFFECTIVE IMPROVEMENT PLAN TO IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND PROTECT AGAINST FLOODING FROM STORMS. THE PUMP STATIONS WERE CONSTRUCTED ONE IN AROUND 1990, AND THEN THE OTHER THREE BETWEEN 2000, 2005, NONE OF THESE, UH, UH, PUMP STATIONS THAT WE WOULD RELY ON IN THE, IN AN EXTREME EVENT HAD EVER BEEN NECESSARY TO ACTUALLY BE CALLED THE DUTY UNTIL MATTHEW IN 2016.
AND THEN AGAIN, A YEAR LATER WITH IRMA IN 2017.
SO THAT'S WHEN WE GOT OUR FIRST REAL STRESS TEST WITH THESE PUMP STATIONS.
AND, UH, THERE WAS A LOT WE LEARNED WHEN THEY ACTUALLY CAME INTO WORKING TO PROTECT US FROM A STORM.
SO THE THINGS THAT WENT WRONG, THE THINGS DIDN'T GO QUITE AS EXPECTED OR THE THINGS THAT WORK WELL WERE ALL TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.
AND, UH, THAT HELPED US WITH THE LESSONS LEARNED TO DECIDE HOW WE COULD IMPROVE THE FACILITIES.
UM, AS WELL AS, UH, DOING REHABILITATION UNDERTOOK A MORE THAN $4.2 MILLION REHABILITATION OF THE STATIONS,
[00:20:01]
REHABILITATION OF THE PUMP STATIONS INCLUDED REPLACING ELECTRICAL CONTROL SYSTEMS, INSTALLING NEW AND REFURBISHED GENERATORS OVER FOR HAULING SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS AND UPGRADING REMOTE MONITORING UPGRADES TO THE POWER SYSTEMS, GATES, DEBRIS, SCREENS, AND SEDIMENT DRUDGING ALSO AIM TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FAILURE.THE JARVIS CREEK PROJECT REDUCES THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOOD LOSSES FOR MORE THAN 1,700 PROPERTIES IN ITS WATERSHED.
WHILE THE LAWTON CREEK PROJECT DOES THE SAME FOR 1,800 PROPERTIES IN ITS WATERSHED.
THE TOWN ALSO IMPLEMENTED A NEW WEB-BASED ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM THAT WILL HELP EFFICIENTLY DOCUMENT MAINTENANCE WORK, HELPING IT MANAGE AND PLAN FOR COSTS FUNDING.
FOR THE $4.2 MILLION EFFORT CAME ENTIRELY FROM PROPERTY BASED STORMWATER.
UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE IS FOR THE PROTECTION AND WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THIS TOWN.
AND I GUESS THAT COME INTO HERE, IT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THE CLIMATE CHANGES TODAY AND THE FLOODING THAT WE'VE REPLACED, THE OLD PIPES THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE 20 OR 30 YEARS OLD, THIS IS A BIG INVESTMENT FOR US, BUT IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT INVESTMENT FOR THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF THIS COMMUNITY HERE ALONG THE WAY.
PEOPLE LIVE HERE EXPECT US TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PROTECT THEM.
AND THIS LARGE INVESTMENT IS TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.
THE PROJECTS ARE VITAL TO THE TOWN, STRATEGIC PLANS AND EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE COMMUNITY FROM RISING SEA LEVELS.
THE UPGRADES HELP PROTECT MORE THAN 3,500 PROPERTIES PROVIDING LONG-TERM EFFICIENT FLOOD CONTROL AND STORM WATER MANAGEMENT.
SO AGAIN, ON BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION, UH, MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA, CONGRATULATIONS, I BELIEVE MR. LAD, IS THERE HOLDING A, YOUR, YOUR TROPHY AWARDS, UH, UH, AGAIN, LOOK FORWARD TO, UH, YOUR SUBMISSION FOR NEXT YEAR.
UH, CHARLIE, I'M GLAD THAT YOU SAID THAT BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU THANK YOU TO YOU AND THE MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION AS WELL, BUT, BUT KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T OUR LAST TROPHY.
SO, UM, MORE AND MORE TO COME, WE'RE EXCITED.
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR TIME WITH US THIS AFTERNOON.
YOU GET TO SEE EVERYBODY HERE.
WHAT'S THAT? WHAT'S THE TROPHIES HERE, THERE, THE TROPHY RIGHT THERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ALL SEE THE TROPHY, BUT IT'LL BE DISPLAYED PROMINENTLY AND PROUDLY AT TOWN HALL.
UM, SO IF YOU'RE IN THE BUILDING, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL SHOW IT TO YOU.
[Board of Zoning Appeals Bi-Annual Update – Patsy Brison, Chair]

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPORT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS OR BZA, UM, FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 2021, AND ALSO WANT TO THANK THE TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ATTEND AND OBSERVE OUR MEETINGS.
WE APPRECIATE YOU CHECKING IN ON US.
UM, ALSO WANT TO THANK, UM, UH, BZA COLLEAGUES, ALSO APPLICANTS TO THE BZA AND THE TOWN STAFF, UH, FOR THEIR PREPARATION, PROFESSIONALISM, AND PATIENCE WITH US AS WE GO THROUGH OUR PROCESSES.
UM, YOU HAVE, UH, BEFORE YOU A WRITTEN REPORT, UM, ON OUR WORK FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THIS YEAR, AGAIN, ANOTHER BUSY TIME, UM, DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2021, WE HELD SIX VIRTUAL MEETINGS.
FIVE OF THOSE WERE REGULAR MEETINGS AND ONE SPECIAL MEETING, UH, WE CONSIDERED AND HEARD EIGHT VARIOUS REQUESTS, ONE APPEAL AND NO SPECIAL EXCEPTION REQUEST.
A SUMMARY OF THOSE ACTIONS IS INCLUDED IN THE WRITTEN REPORT.
AND I KNOW YOU HAVE A VERY LONG MEETING, SO I'M CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO READ ALL THOSE TO YOU.
UM, IN ADDITION TO THAT WORK, UH, BEING A QUASI JUDICIAL BOARD, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR, UH, DUE PROCESS, BOTH PROCEDURAL AND SUBSTANTIVE IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT THAT RESPONSIBILITY.
WE ARE CONTINUING A RE CONTINUING A REVIEW OF OUR RULES OF PROCEDURE, UH, WORKING WITH STAFF AND LOOKING AT BEST PRACTICES OF OTHER BZA IN THE STATE, AS WELL AS THE MODEL RULES OF PROCEDURE FROM THE MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
AND WE EXPECT THAT STAFF WILL BE REPORTING TO US SOON ON RECOMMENDED REVISIONS TO OUR RULES OF PROCEDURE, UM,
[00:25:01]
TO MAKE US MORE EFFICIENT IN ORDER TO DELIVER PROCEDURAL DUE PROCESS WITH REGARD TO SUBSTANTIVE DUE PROCESS.UH, WE ASKED THE STAFF ATTORNEY TO REPORT TO US, UM, EACH MONTH ON, UH, APPEALS FROM OUR BZA TO CIRCUIT COURT IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE NEED TO MAKE ANY CHANGES, EITHER IN OUR PROCEDURAL OR SUBSTANTIVE CONSIDERATIONS, STAFF ATTORNEY IS DOING THAT ON A MONTHLY BASIS.
WE ALSO ASKED HER TO REPORT TO US ABOUT ANY CHANGES IN SOUTH CAROLINA CASE LAW OR STATUTES, WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES IN EITHER OUR PROCESS BY, UM, THE SUBSTANTIVE PART OR THE, UH, PROCEDURAL PART OF OUR PROCESSES.
UM, ALSO THE, UH, MEMBERS OF THE BCA COMPLETED THEIR EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE YEAR AS OF JUNE 30 OF THIS YEAR.
UH, THE TRAININGS THAT WE WERE HAVING NOW ARE MORE IN LINE WITH THE PROCESSES AND THE LAW THAT WE NEED TO APPLY.
WE ASK FOR THAT, AND THE STAFF HAS RESPONDED.
UM, IN ADDITION, UM, ON A MONTHLY BASIS, WE RECEIVE A REPORT FROM THE STAFF ON WAIVERS, GRANTED BY THE STAFF UNDER THE LMO FROM THE LMO REQUIREMENTS.
UM, AND WE IN, UM, JULY OF 2020 RECEIVED A REPORT FROM THE STAFF OF WAIVERS GRANTED SINCE 2017.
UM, AND, UH, AFTER RECEIVING THAT REPORT, WE SENT IT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, ASKING THE PLANNING COMMISSION, IF THERE NEED TO BE ANY, UH, AMENDMENTS CONSIDERED TO THE LMS IN LIGHT OF THE NUMBERS OF WAIVERS.
GRANTED, UM, ALSO DURING THIS YEAR, THE, UH, PUBLIC PLANNING, OTHER TOWN COUNCIL CONSIDERED WAIVERS AND ASK FOR STAFF OR AN UPDATE AND AFFORDED TO, UM, MEMBERS OF THAT COMMITTEE, THE REPORT THAT THE BZA RECEIVED IN 2020, UM, THE VCA HAD PREVIOUSLY RECOMMENDED SOME AMENDMENTS TO THE LMO.
AND WE DO HAVE STAFF REPORTS ON A MONTHLY BASIS ON THE STATUS OF THOSE SUGGESTIONS THAT WE MADE.
UM, AND AT THE SEPTEMBER MEETING OF THE BZA WE HAVE ON OUR AGENDA CONSIDERATION OF THE SMALL LOT SIZES THAT WE'RE SEEING AND THE NUMBER OF VARIANTS REQUESTS THAT HAVE COME BEFORE US TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT WE WOULD MAKE ANY FURTHER RECOMMENDATIONS WITH REGARD TO AMENDMENTS TO THE LMO.
UM, THAT IS A SUMMARY OF MY REPORT ON BEHALF OF THE BZA.
AND I'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT A TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY HAVE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR WORKING, AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
[Reports from the Members of Town Council]
WHAT'S YOUR MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.[General Reports from Town Council]
FROM MEMBERS OF COUNCIL? THIS, THE BROWN? YES.UH, WE DID WE TODD MS. THEMES.
I'LL GO FIRST IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
UM, I ATTENDED A MEETING AT HOLY CATHOLIC, UH, CHURCH ON MONDAY A WEEK AGO, AND THE MEETING WAS FACILITATED BY, UH, THE DEEP WELL PROJECT AND THE, UH, IMMIGRATION COALITION.
AND THE TOPIC WAS THE, UH, WHAT WE ARE COMMONLY REFERRING TO AS THE ROLE AS TRAILER PARK AND MANY DON'T KNOW THE REASON WHY IT'S CALLED RULE IS BECAUSE, UM, LONG TIME FAMILY ON HILTON HEAD, THE ROLLERS FAMILY, UH, OWNED THAT PROPERTY YEARS BACK WAS CHANGED HANDS SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT IS THE PROPERTY ON MARSHLAND ROAD THAT IS CURRENTLY BEING, UH, SENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF, UH, ASKING FOR A REZONING, UH, TO REDEVELOP IT.
UM, THERE'S ABOUT 40 SOME ODD HOMES THERE.
THIS MEETING WAS ATTENDED BY, BY MY COUNT AT LEAST 60 FOLKS, UM, MORE THAN JUST HISPANICS.
THEY ALSO, UH, AS I LEARNED AFTER THE MEETING, MY TALKING WITH THEM HAVE BEEN LIVING IN THAT TRAILER PARK SINCE THE NINETIES, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE ATTENDEES WERE HISPANIC AND THEY WERE FAMILIES.
IT REALLY STARTED TO TOUCH ME THAT THERE WAS SO MANY YOUNG CHILDREN THERE THAT,
[00:30:01]
YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT MAY TAKE ONE OF OUR PLACES HERE ON THIS COUNCIL.SO I'VE GOT GRAVE CONCERNS BECAUSE ONE OF THE OWNERS OF THE PROPOSED, UH, REZONING HAS ALREADY STATED THAT EVEN IF THE PROPERTY DOESN'T SELL, HE NO LONGER DESIRES TO OPERATE AS A MOBILE HOME PARK.
I'M BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION BECAUSE CIVIC GROUPS LIKE DEEP WELL COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, A LOW COUNTRY, LOW COUNTRY GULLAH ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO TRY TO FIND PLACES FOR THESE FAMILIES TO MOVE ON HILTON HEAD.
AND THE QUESTION WAS ASKED OUT LOUD TO THE INDIVIDUALS IN THAT MEETING.
HOW MANY OF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO LIVE ON HILTON HEAD? AND EVERY HAND IN THE ROOM WENT UP.
UH, SO I CAN APPRECIATE THE EMPHASIS OF THOSE CIVIC, UH, AGENCIES, BUT I'M NOW CHALLENGING US AS THE TOWN WILL ALSO ASSIST.
AND I'M GOING TO GIVE A FEW EXAMPLES AND I'M GONNA MOVE ON MR. MAYO.
UM, YOU FOLKS ARE IN NEED OF LAND TO MOVE THEIR MOBILE HOMES.
AND IF WE CAN'T FIND LAND READILY AND AVAILABLE, WE HAVE SOME AS THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD, THE INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS INVOLVED IN PREPARING A SITE TO MOVE A MOBILE HOME.
WE'VE GOT MONEY SET ASIDE TO HELP WITH THAT.
AND THIS ONE, I JUST HAVE TO SHARE THIS ONE BECAUSE A FAMILY SHOWED UP AT THE MEETING WITH THEIR PLANTS AND ONE SISTER WAS LIVING IN ROLLERS TRAILER PARK.
THE OTHER ONE WAS LIVING ON AIKEN PLACE.
AND THE SYSTEM ON AKIN PLACE HAS 0.4, SIX, EIGHT.
CAUSE IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, GOT ONE UNIT DATA IN A ZONING DISTRICT THAT CALLS FOR FOUR UNITS PER ACRE.
THERE IS PLENTY ENOUGH ROOM FOR HER TO PUT ANOTHER UNIT, BUT BECAUSE WE HAVE TURNED DOWN A RECOMMENDATION THAT CAME OUT OF THE GULLAH GEECHEE TASK FORCE TO ROUND UP IN THOSE CASES, THAT'S JUST ONE FAMILY THAT WE COULDN'T HELP.
SO AGAIN, I'M CHALLENGING US TO GET INVOLVED IN DISCIPLINE BECAUSE US LOSING THOSE FOLKS AS A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY WILL BE A DISASTER.
AND I'D LIKE TO THANK MR. ORLANDO FOR PROVIDING A TRANSLATOR AT THE LAST PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS.
UH, THAT TOPIC INVOLVES SO MANY SPANISH SPEAKING FOLKS.
AND IT'S JUST A LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE WHEN YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE.
UM, AND ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK MR. ORLANDO FOR ASSIGNING JAMIE LACO TO THIS PROJECT AS A LIAISON.
AND I JUST ASKED THAT JAMIE IS NOT ONLY COLLECTING INFORMATION AS FAR AS WHAT'S NEEDED TO MAKE THIS TRANSITION SMOOTH, BUT ALSO GIVE US A REPORT ALONG THE WAY, UH, SO THAT WE, AS A COUNCIL CAN CONSIDER ANY POLICY DECISIONS THAT CAN HELP WITH THE COSTS.
UM, WOULD THAT BEING SAID, I WILL, I WILL, I WILL CLOSE WITH SAYING THAT WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
JUST IMAGINE IF IT WAS YOU, THAT WAS BEING ASKED TO MOVE AND COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.
THANK YOU, MR. BRIAN, ANY OTHER GENERAL REPORTS? YES.
I WILL PIGGYBACK ON WHAT ALEX WAS SAYING VIRTUALLY EVERY DAY WE UNCOM, WE ON COUNCIL ARE REMINDED OF THE WORST NAME, WORKFORCE HOUSING SITUATION ON HILTON HEAD, A WITNESS, THE DISCUSSION OF ROLLER A TRAILER PARK, BUT ALSO THE TRANSITION OF, UH, FULL-TIME RENTALS TO SHORT-TERM RENTALS.
UM, WE'RE, WE'RE ALL AWARE OF, UH, THE BIDDING WAR ON HOUSES, BUT, BUT TODAY I HEARD A STORY OF A YOUNG COUPLE MOVING TO THE ISLAND WITH SOME EXPECTATION THAT THEY HAD BEEN, UH, OFFERED A RENTAL UNIT IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX.
AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED ON THE ISLAND, THEY WERE TOLD WE ARE NOW BIDDING
[00:35:02]
ON THAT RENT ROLL.SO THE PRICE OF RENTALS ARE NOW BEING AUCTIONED IN EFFECT.
AND I JUST WONDER NOT ONLY WHAT THAT MEANS TO THAT ONE COUPLE, BUT WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN THE RENEWALS COME UP? AND SO I THINK THAT WHAT THIS POINTS OUT IS THAT OUR HOUSING STOCK ON THIS ISLAND IS AN UNSUSTAINABLE OUT OF BALANCE STATE.
AND UNLESS WE ATTACK IT IN THE SAME WAY THAT WE ARE ATTACKING THE BRIDGE CORRIDOR ISSUE.
IN OTHER WORDS, MAKING IT A TOP PRIORITY, THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN TURN THIS AROUND.
IT IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE BECAUSE OF THE PRESSURES OF OFF ISLAND AND THE LACK OF HOUSING ON THE ISLAND.
THE STUDY OF THE GENERAL REPORTS, THE ONLY THING I HAVE IS THAT THIS MONTH IS NATIONAL HISPANIC MONTH AND THE CELEBRATION IS IN A WEEK UNTIL THE SHELTER CALLS WHEN WE'LL SEND OUT MORE INFORMATION ON IT.
[Report of the Lowcountry Area Transportation Study – Councilman Stanford]
REPORT IT TO THE LOW COUNTRY AREA, TRANSPORTATION STUDY.MR. MAYOR, BRIEFLY TO REFRESH EVERYONE.
THIS WAS THE FEDERALLY MANDATED ORGANIZATION THAT MAKES TRANSPORTATION PLANNING FOR THE ENTIRE REGION.
AND I AM THE TOWN'S REPRESENTATIVE ON THAT BOARD.
UH, THEY ARE BEGINNING A PROCESS OF A LONG RANGE PLAN TO STUDY AND PLAN FOR FUTURE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY AS, UH, ON THE ENTIRE REGION.
UH, AND SO THEY RECENTLY HAD A PUBLIC HEARING, UH, WHICH WAS ONE OF THESE HEARINGS WHERE YOU GO IN AND YOU PUT IDEAS DOWN ON A MAP.
UH, I WAS REPRESENTATIVE, I WAS REPRESENTED THE TOWN THERE AND WE HAD TWO STAFF MEMBERS FROM THE TOWN AS WELL.
SO, UH, WITH THE STAFF MEMBERS THERE, THE TOWN WAS WELL-REPRESENTED.
AND SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT AND TO ASSURE THAT TRANSPORTATION PLANNING TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE NEEDS OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND MOVING FORWARD, THEN JUST AS A MATTER OF UPDATE, THERE WAS NO DISCUSSION AT THE RECENT MEETING OF THE LAST BOARD CONCERNING THE CARD OR 2 78.
[Report of the Lowcountry Council of Governments – Councilwoman Becker]
LOOK ON THE COUNCIL AND GOVERNANCE.THIS BECKER, WE HAVEN'T HAD A MEETING SINCE MY LAST REPORT.
WE DO HAVE A MEETING ON THE 23RD.
SO NEXT THE COUNCIL MEETING I'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE.
[Report of the South Carolina Floodwater Commission – Councilman Brown]
SOUTH CAROLINA FLOOD COMMISSION, MR. BROWN.UH, THANK YOU FOR THE ASSIGNMENT, MR. MAYOR.
I THANK, UH, KRISTA FOR THE MOUNTAIN OF INFORMATION THAT SHE HAS PROVIDED ME.
UM, THIS IS A, UH, COMMISSION THAT, UH, COMES UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE, THE GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
UM, AND, UM, IT WAS VERY INTERESTING GOING THROUGH THIS INFORMATION.
UM, DAVE ASSIGNED 10 TASKFORCE.
I WON'T READ THEM ALL OFF TO YOU, BUT, UM, ITEMS LIKE ARTIFICIAL REESE SYSTEMS, UM, UH, SMART WATER AND DAM SECURITY, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE AND SHORELINE ARMORING, UM, AND, UH, OUR VERY OWN, UH, MAN MCCANN IS A PART OF THE STAKEHOLDER, UH, TASK FORCE.
UM, THE, THE INTENT HERE WAS TO, UH, YOU KNOW, BRING AWARENESS TO, UM, THE POTENTIAL OF, UM, US BEING, UH, SO PRONE TO FLOODING AND TRY TO PUT IN SOME COUNTERMEASURES ALONG THE WAY.
UM, AND JUST TO BE VERY BRIEF WITH THIS, I FOUND THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, HILTON HEAD ITSELF IS ONE OF THE, UH, THE LEADERS IN THAT AREA, UH, DUSTY AWARD THAT WE JUST, UH, UH, RECEIVED.
UM, AND ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING, UH, TO ME WAS, UH, THE, THE CONTRIBUTION OF DOLLARS TO BEACH FOR NOURISHMENT ALONG THE COAST OF SOUTH CAROLINA, WHERE, UH, THE STATE FROM 2017 TO 2019, THAT WAS THE LAST REPORT THAT THIS COMMITTEE PUT OUT.
UH, THE STATE'S CONTRIBUTION WAS SOMEWHERE AROUND $31 MILLION, THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ITSELF.

[00:45:01]
YES.UM, AFTERNOON, SKIP HOAGLAND WINDMILL HARBOR TOWN IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION IS BOTH IN VIOLATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA, FOIL LAWS, NO TROPHY, MR. LENNOX, THIS COUNCIL'S ONGOING CORRUPTION ASSISTING BILL CHAMBER TO ILLEGALLY BE ISSUED IN SECRETLY MISUSED, TENS OF MILLIONS OF HARD EARNED TAX MONEY AS HIRED A TAX FUNDED.
I NOW DEMAND FOYER EIGHT TAX ACCOUNTING COMPLIANCE FROM YOU, MR. LENNOX, DAVID AMES, AND THE TOWN LAWYERS ON THE MILLIONS.
YOU JUST HANDED TO BILL MILES, INCLUDING ALL RECEIPTS OF MATCHING INVOICES AND WHERE THESE MILLIONS HAVE DISAPPEARED, INCLUDING CANADA.
I WANT DETAILED PROOF THAT THESE FUNDS WERE USED LEGALLY AND PROVIDED RETURNS TO THIS ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
IN THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY, SOUTH CAROLINA, KIRK JUST SENT A LETTER TO YOU IN THIS HIGHLY DISHONEST TOWN MUNICIPALITY, AND I QUOTE PARTS OF IT.
TOURISM EXPENDITURE V COMMITTEE KIRK, THE ANNUAL ACCOMMODATIONS TAX REPORTING IS DUE BY OCTOBER ONE PER THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION SIX DASH FOUR DASH 10 OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS.
NEW THIS YEAR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE REPORTING FORM ON SIDE A, WE ASK THAT YOU NAMED THE 30% RECIPIENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION, THE HILTON HEAD BLUFFTON CHAMBER, BUT AS FOR NO OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THAT ORGANIZATION, A RECENT SUPREME COURT RULING FILED BY ME.
AN EXPERT FOIL LAWYERS, SMITH AND BENDER HAVE CHANGED THE GAME.
THE RECENT COURT RULING HAS BEEN INTERPRETED BY OUR LEGAL COUNSEL TO REMAIN THE 30% NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION NEEDS TO BE APPROVED.
AND THE ACCOUNTING OF THOSE FUNDS MUST BE PRESENTED TO TURK.
WE UNDERSTAND THIS IS A BIT OF A PROCEDURAL CHANGE FOR ALL OF US.
I ALSO EXPECT FOYA FOR ALL ACCOUNTING ON THE MILLIONS OF SOUTH CAROLINA PRT MATCHING GRANTS.
THE HURRICANE MARKETING FUNDS 750,000 PLUS GOVERNOR MCMASTER, 1.4 MILLION ILLEGAL PRIVATE COVID RELIEF FUNDING AND TAX MONEY USED TO JOIN THE TOWN COUNCIL AS PRIVATE CHAMBER MEMBERS, QUID PRO QUO.
SO MR. LENNOX, I SUSPECT MY FOYER FOR ALL T EIGHT TAX ACCOUNTING FOR BILL MILES BY OCTOBER ONE.
AND WE'LL FOYER, SOUTH CAROLINA TURKEY.
YOU'RE SURE THAT YOU SENT THEM THE SAME DETAILED ACCOUNTING AND NOTHING IS MISSING ANY FURTHER ATTEMPT BY YOU TOWN COUNCIL, TOWN OFFICIALS, TOWN CPAS, AUDITORS TO CONTINUE COMMITTING FRAUD ON BEHALF OF BILL MILES AND THE SECRET SAUCE TAX SCAM ILLEGALLY OPERATED AS AN IRS 5 0 1 DEATH C6 NONPROFIT CHAMBER CVB.
THAT IS COMMINGLED WALLY RESULT IN FORENSIC AUDITS.
AND I ASSUME ARREST CONVICTIONS AND PRISON LIKE HAPPENED IN PALM BEACH, FLORIDA.
AM I CLEAR MR. LENNOX, DAVID, ALEX TAMRA.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHERE THIS IS HEADED WITH THIS ILLEGAL SECRET CHAMBER TAX DAM? DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR RISK? ALL OF YOUR RISKS TIED TO THIS FRAUD, YOU BETTER ALL WAKE UP.
YOU BETTER ALL THINK ABOUT THIS REAL HARD WHEN YOU, BEFORE YOU GO TO SLEEP TONIGHT AND THINK ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND HOW YOU'RE GOING TO BE QUIET AND HOW YOU'RE GOING TO ANSWER TO THIS.
AM I CLEAR MR. HARKINS? AM I CLEAR MARK MAYOR, UH, MAYOR MCCANN.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE NEXT PERSON TO SPEAK IS MS. JANE JOSEPH, JOSEPH, MS. JOSEPH.
I'M JANE JOSEPH CHAIRMAN OF THE ARTS COUNCIL OF HILTON HEAD, WHICH WORKS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF JEN MCEWEN.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TODAY IN 2014, YET ANOTHER GROUP OF CITIZENS GATHERED TO ADVOCATE FOR THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND TO DO MORE, TO SUPPORT THE VIBRANT ARTS AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATIONS ON THE ISLAND.
THE TOWN LEADERS LISTENED AND CREATED THE ARTS AND CULTURAL STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE TO RESEARCH AND DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAKE HILTON HEAD ISLAND, AN ARTS DESTINATION.
THE COMMITTEE DEMONSTRATED HOW ARTS AND CULTURE IMPROVES OUR QUALITY OF LIFE AND IS A POWERFUL ECONOMIC DRIVER.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE ADOPTED.
AND TWO YEARS LATER IN 2017, WE ASSESSED OVER A HUNDRED CANDIDATES FOR A NEW POSITION OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS DIRECTOR IN AUGUST, 2017.
JEN MCEWEN JOINED THE TOWN STAFF.
THE PROGRESS SINCE THEN HAS BEEN AMAZING.
I WANT TO THANK TOWN COUNCIL AND STAFF FOR TAKING, UM, TOWN SUPPORT FROM JUST ACKNOWLEDGING THE VALUE OF ARTS AND CULTURE
[00:50:01]
TO OUR COMMUNITY, TO SUPPORTING IT WITH RESOURCES.THIS WAS A VISIONARY STEP WITH VERY POSITIVE RESULTS.
WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR CULTURE HHI WAS BRANDED AND BEGAN PROVIDING A NEW LEVEL OF COMMUNITY AWARENESS OF CULTURAL EVENTS THROUGH ITS WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER PEOPLE WHO NEVER KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON WERE SUDDENLY IN THE KNOW AND SHOWING UP AS AMERICANS FOR THE ARTS IMPACT STUDY FOR HILTON HEAD ISLAND WAS A MAJOR NEW INITIATIVE, WHICH DOCUMENTED THE TREMENDOUS ROLE THAT THE ARTS PLAY IN OUR ECONOMY AND PROVIDES AN IMPORTANT BENCHMARK TO MEASURE OUR PROGRESS.
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY GREAT PROGRAMS AROUND TOWN, THE LANTERN PARADE, MURAL, PAINTING, WRAPPING, CONSTRUCTION, FENCES, AND MUCH MORE.
BUT TO ME, THE BEST PART OF THE OCA, HIS CONTRIBUTION HAS BEEN TO BRING ARTS AND CULTURE TO A MUCH BROADER AND DIVERSE AUDIENCE OF RESIDENTS AND TOURISTS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEW PLAN THAT YOU WILL SEE LATER TODAY, ROLL OUT OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS, FOUR YEARS OF WORKING CLOSELY WITH JEN MCEWEN HAVE SHOWN ME A LEVEL OF CREATIVITY, COMPETENCE, AND ENERGY THAT ARE EXTREMELY SPECIAL.
I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER LEADING THE OCA AND AS A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK.
UH, OUR NEXT CITIZEN TO SPEAK IS MICHAEL MARK, SIR.
UH, TWO MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, A TOWN MANAGER AND ASSISTANT TOWN MANAGER.
I'M A 20 YEAR RESIDENT OF THE ISLAND HERE.
I RETIRED IN 2014 AFTER A 32 YEAR CAREER IN THE ARTS AND CULTURE FIELD, UH, SPECIFICALLY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF, UH, MUSEUMS. MY LAST DUTY STATION WAS HERE AT THE COASTAL DISCOVERY MUSEUM, WHERE I WAS INVOLVED WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MASTER PLAN TO TRANSITION THE MUSEUM, UH, OVER TO THE HONEYWELL PROPERTY.
UH, TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL WITH REGARDS TO THE PUBLIC ART, UH, PORTION OF THE STRATEGIC ARTS STRATEGIC PLAN THAT YOU FOLKS HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU FOR CONSIDERATION TODAY.
UM, AS A VOLUNTEER, AS A CITIZEN VOLUNTEER, I'VE BEEN ACTIVE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PUBLIC ART COLLECTION FOR HILTON HEAD ISLAND, PRIMARILY AS A BOARD MEMBER FOR THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF THE LOW COUNTRY, UH, FROM A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE, THE PUBLIC ART PROGRAM BEGAN IN A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND AND THE, UH, COMMUNITY FOUNDATION BACK IN 2012.
UH, WHEN THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION, I BELIEVE SEATED THE PROGRAM WITH APPROXIMATELY $80,000 IN FUNDING, UH, NOW THROUGH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE TOWN OF THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF LOCAL BUSINESSES, UH, OF, UH, RESIDENT CONTRIBUTORS, UM, UH, THE HAS NOW GROWN TO 12 LARGE SCALE PIECES LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND, UH, ALL IN PUBLIC PLACES, ART THAT IS FREE AND ACCESSIBLE TO ALL PEOPLE, OUR RESIDENTS, OUR VISITORS, YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE.
CURRENTLY THESE, UH, THE VALUE OF THESE PIECES, WHICH HAVE BEEN, UH, INSTALLED THROUGHOUT THE, AND HAVE A VALUE MONETARY VALUE OF ABOUT $500,000.
UH, THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION MANAGED THE PROCESS UP UNTIL ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ESTABLISHMENT OF THE OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS WAS THE MORE APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR THIS PROGRAM TO RESIDE.
SO THERE WAS A, A TURNING OVER OF THE RANGE IF YOU WILL, UH, UNDER
THAT INCLUDES, UH, JEN MCKEOWN'S ENERGETIC LEADERSHIP, UH, WITH THE SUPPORT OF OTHER CITIZEN VOLUNTEERS, UH, AN ADDITIONAL SIX PUBLIC SCULPTURE PIECES HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND SECURED, AND THEY WILL BE INSTALLED ALONG THE SHELTER COVE SCULPTURE TRAIL, AS IT COMES ONLINE IN THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS.
HENCE THE TOWN'S PUBLIC ART COLLECTION HAS INCREASED IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME BY 50%, WHICH IS GREAT.
AND THIS IS THE IMPORTANT POINT WITHOUT INCREASED TOWN FUNDING.
SO, UH, UH, EVERYBODY'S BEEN DOING A REALLY GOOD JOB AT, AT, UH, UH, SECURING THESE ADDITIONAL PIECES, UH, AT REASONABLE PRICES.
[00:55:02]
I'M SORRY.FINAL PERSON TO ADDRESS YOUR CITIZEN TO ADDRESS COUNCIL IS JESSE WHITE.
MAYOR MCCANN AND TOWN COUNCIL, JESSE WHITE ON BEHALF OF THE COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE.
UM, WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THE TOWNS WISE USE WISE DECISION OF BRINGING ON M K S K TO STUDY THE WILLIAM HILTON PARKWAY CORRIDOR AND RECOMMEND IMPROVEMENTS TO
IN PARTICULAR, THE NARROWER LANES, THE WIDER BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PATHWAYS WAS SUFFICIENT BUFFERS, THE USE OF SMART TECHNOLOGY AND IMPROVED STREETSCAPING AND TRAFFIC CALMING MEASURES.
HOWEVER, EVEN WITH ALL OF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS, THEY CANNOT MAKE UP FOR THE CORE FAILURES THAT ARE INFECTING
STD OT HAS PROVIDED AN OVERLY SIMPLISTIC APPROACH THAT FAILS TO COMPREHEND EXISTING TRAFFIC PATTERNS THROUGH THE CORRIDOR.
IT'S A LOGICAL TO TRY TO SOLVE A TRAFFIC CONGESTION PROBLEM WITHOUT AN ACCURATE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT'S CAUSING THAT PROBLEM IN EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS.
INSTEAD
GIVEN THE SIGNIFICANT PUBLIC INVESTMENT IN TIME RESOURCES AND TAXPAYER FUNDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT, WE URGE YOU TO TAKE SERIOUSLY THESE FUNDAMENTAL FLAWS IN SED OTS ANALYSIS.
WE BELIEVE THAT FURTHER STUDY IS NECESSARY AND WOULD OFFER THAT THE EXPERT TRAFFIC ENGINEER WE'VE WORKED WITH ON THIS PROJECT WOULD BE WILLING TO WORK WITH STAFF AND M K S K IF COUNCIL EXPANDS THEIR SCOPE IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY MEANINGFUL AND COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTIONS THAT LOOK BEYOND THE CONFINES OF
IF IT FAILS TO INCLUDE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
THANK YOU, MS. WHITE, SIR, THAT CONCLUDES APPEARANCE BY CITIZENS.

MAYOR MCCANN MOTION CARRIES, SIR.
THE CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION
[Consideration of a Resolution – Drainage Easement Agreement with the 3901 Main Street Property Owners Association]
AUTHORIZING YOUR TOWN TO EXECUTE A DRAINAGE EASEMENT AGREEMENT AT 39 0 1 NAMED SPEED.IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO MOVED THE SECOND DISCUSSION.
ANY DISCUSSION ON THE ITEMS? SEE NO DISCUSSION FOR APPROVAL, MR. BROWN, MR. HARKINS.
[Consideration of Resolutions – Standard Drainage Agreements and Access, Drainage and Maintenance Easements]
CONSIDERATION FOR RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A TOWN TO EXECUTE VARIOUS STANDARD DRAINAGE AGREEMENTS AND ACCESS DRAINAGE AND MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS.IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE? SO MOVED SECOND DISCUSSION ON THIS ITEM.
UH, SO NO WE'VE BEEN ACTIVELY, UM, HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH PDS AROUND, UH, THESE, UH, THESE AGREEMENTS.
DOES THIS, DOES THIS FINISH US OFF? UH, COUNSELING DOES NOT FINISH OFF.
UH, I SEE JEFF NET SINGER ON HERE.
JEFF HAS BEEN POINT TO FINALIZE THESE AGREEMENTS IS SOMETHING THAT JEFF BUCKALEW AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT WE WILL BE BRINGING THEM TO YOU OVER TIME, FINALIZING THE AGREEMENT.
I SEE SOME ENERGY ON THE ACTUAL SPECIFICS OF WHO'S LEFT.
I WILL DEFER, UH, POLITELY TO JEFF METZINGER YOU'RE ON MUTE JEFF THERE.
SO, UH, THE, UH, WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF, UH, HOPEFULLY FINISHING UP, UH, STANDARDIZATION OF ALL THE AGREEMENTS WITH THE EXISTING AGREEMENT PARTNERS, AND WE'RE APPLYING THOSE SAME ELIGIBILITY RULES TO ANY COMMUNITY THAT MEETS THE QUALIFICATIONS, HAVING A COMMUNITY THAT HAS SHARED A PLANET RIGHTS OF WAY THAT OF OUR COMMUNAL INTEREST WITHIN THE PRIVATE COMMUNITIES.
IF THEY MEET THOSE, THEN THE DRAINAGE THAT DRAINS THOSE, UH, UH, FACILITIES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR SERVICE, UH, WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
SO THESE SIX HERE MEET THE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS THE SAME AS FOR THE EXISTING PARTNER.
SO WE'RE GIVING THEM, OFFERING THEM THESE NEW AGREEMENTS BASED ON THE REVISED STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
THERE ARE, UH, 17 TO 20 ADDITIONAL COMMUNITIES, UH, THAT IN OUR RESEARCH THAT LOOKED LIKE THEY COULD POTENTIALLY QUALIFY IF THEY CHOOSE TO ASK FOR SERVICE FROM THE TOWN BASED ON THE SAME SET OF CRITERIA.
AND, UM, AS FAR AS, UM, I GUESS THE MAKEUP OF THE, THE SYSTEMS AND ANY OF THE, THE PLAN COMMUNITIES, UM, IS IT SAFE TO SAY THAT, UH, UH, COULD BE A MIXTURE OF, UH, I GUESS RESPONSIBILITY BETWEEN, UH, NOT ONLY THE TOWN COUNTY IN SOME CASES, STATE WHEN IT COMES TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DRAINAGE? UM, COULD YOU CLARIFY YOUR QUESTION? I'M SORRY.
I DON'T EXACTLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.
SO THE PREMISE OF THE EXERCISE IS TO HAVE A STANDARD AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TOWN AND THESE PLAN DEVELOPMENTS, CORRECT? YES.
IT'S AN, IT'S AN EX IT'S AN EXTENSION OF SERVICE WITH THE, UH, THE FEES THAT WE COLLECT, UM, TO THESE COMMUNITIES, SINCE THERE'S, THERE'S SUCH A LARGE PORTION OF POPULATION THAT, THAT IS IN THESE PRIVATE COMMUNITIES.
AND IT SERVES SPECIFICALLY THE INTERESTS THAT THE SHARED INFRASTRUCTURE WITH THE COMMUNITIES,
[01:05:01]
IN OTHER WORDS, THE COMMON, COMMONLY PRIVATE RIGHTS OF WAY WITHIN THE RIGHT, WITHIN THE PRIVATE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE COVENANTS THAT WOULD ALLOW THEM, UH, ALLOW US TO COME IN AND PERFORM, PERFORM SERVANT SERVICE MY MOST COMMUNITY.SO IT'S IS THE SHARED COMMUNAL INTEREST.
THAT IS THE INTENT AND, AND, UH, THE POINT OF, OF THE SERVICE THAT WE DO PROVIDE, AND THAT'S BASED ON REQUESTS TO COME AND, UH, THAT, AND, AND REPAIR, UH, CORRECT DEFICIENCIES AND THEIR EXISTING SYSTEMS. YEAH.
SO THE, THE POINT THAT I'M MAKING IS IN THOSE PARTICULAR CASES, THERE COULD BE RESPONSIBILITIES OUTSIDE OF THE MUNICIPALITY, THE TOWN, UH, E THE COUNTY HAS A RESPONSIBILITY.
STATE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY, AS FAR AS THE MANAGEMENT OF THE SYSTEMS. AM I CORRECT IN THAT? YES, THE, THE DEITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE SYSTEMS IN THEIR RIGHTS OF WAY AND THE COUNTY AS WELL, AND THEIR RIGHTS OF WAY AND DEDICATED EASEMENTS, AND THEN THE TOWN, WHICH HAS FAR LESS, UH, INFRASTRUCTURE, UH, ROADWAYS IN COMPARISON TO DLT AND, OR THE COUNTY.
UM, BUT, UH, WE, WE DO THE SAME FOR OUR, OUR ROAD SYSTEMS THAT WERE RESPONDING.
BUT IN SOME CASES THEY COULD, THEY COULD OVERLAP.
UM, AND I GUESS MY LAST QUESTION IS, UM, HOW, HOW DID THESE AGREEMENTS DIFFER FROM THE AMENITIES THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY PLANNED OR OFFICIAL HAVING A, UH, I GUESS, AN OFFICIAL POA OR A PUD, UM, DESIGNATION? SO THE STORMWATER UTILITY FEE IS, IS, UH, UH, A SOFT ASSESSED TO ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY.
IF, UH, WHEN THE FEES ARE COLLECTED, THEY EITHER GO TO BUFORD COUNTY TO PROVIDE SERVICE, UH, IN, IN THE AREAS THAT THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
UH, BUT EACH MUNICIPALITY, IF YOU, IF THE FEES COLLECTED INSIDE THE MUNICIPALITY, LESS, A SMALL ADMINISTRATIVE FEE, BECAUSE THE COUNTY DOES COLLECT THE FEE FOR US AS PART OF THE PROPERTY TAX, UH, BILL.
AND THEN WE HAVE THAT FUNNY, THAT FUNDING AVAILABLE TO UTILIZE, UH, AS WE SEE FIT IN OUR COMMUNITY, AS LONG AS IT'S RELATED TO STORMWATER.
UM, SO, UH, W WHAT, I'M GOING HERE, MR. ORLANDO IS, UM, I'M DEFINITELY IN SUPPORT OF US IMPROVING OUR AGREEMENTS AND OUR SYSTEM OVERALL.
UM, BUT HAVING THE, THE, THE METRIC IN PLACE SO THAT WE ARE ASSURING THAT ALL COMMUNITIES PLANNED OR NON-PLANNED ARE RECEIVING THE ADEQUATE SERVICES, BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE PAYING INTO THIS FEE.
AND THAT ACCOUNTING, UM, AT LEAST NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, UM, IS NOT NECESSARILY READILY AVAILABLE TO, TO THE PUBLIC.
UM, SO I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE, WE, UH, WE WORK TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION.
UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, THIS IS THE TROUBLE WITH THE OLD, UH, QUOTE UNQUOTE LIMITED SERVICE GOVERNMENT AND PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT.
UM, SO I THINK THAT'S JUST IMPORTANT FOR US TO BE TRANSPARENT AND THAT DEGREE, UM, I'M BY NO MEANS, AM I OPPOSED TO THESE AGREEMENTS? I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S AN UNDERSTANDING THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, THAT THE AGREEMENTS ARE SIMPLY IN PLACE BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF THE PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENTS.
NOT THAT ANYONE IS GETTING A PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.
AND I THINK THAT IS A MISPERCEPTION HERE THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP, AND IT CAN BE CLEANED UP JUST BY THE ACCOUNTING OF THE MONEY'S BEING SPENT EQUALLY ALONG THE WAY.
JEFF, I THINK YOU SHOULD MAKE A COMMENT IN RESPONSE TO ALEX IN THE WAY THAT YOU TRACK, UH, ALL THE PROJECTS, ALL THE MAINTENANCE AND ALL THE DOLLARS SPENT OUT OF THE FUND, UH, INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE GATED COMMUNITIES.
SO WE HAVE AN ANNUAL BUDGET IN WHICH, IN ADDITION TO THE OPERATING EXPENSE AND STAFFING THAT IS ALL SUPPORTED, UH, PAID FOR OUT OF THE STORM WATER UTILITY FUND.
WE DEDICATE TO THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF, OF THE TOWNHOME SYSTEMS, UH, WHICH IS BEYOND WHAT THIS MORE LIMITED SERVICES PROVIDED VIA THE DRAINAGE AGREEMENTS.
UH, WE PAY OBVIOUSLY ANYTHING THAT'S IN THE TOWN PROPER, OR THE TOWN'S EASEMENTS THAT WE PAY ATTENTION TO THAT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY, UH, TO HELP CORRECT.
UH, BUT THEN ANYTHING THAT'S A DEFICIENCY,
[01:10:01]
WHETHER IT, IT, UH, THE DEFICIENCY IS REPORTED TO US, WHETHER IT'S A, A CRUSHED PIPE OR A CLOGGED PIPE, OR, YOU KNOW, IT CAUSES PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE OR A FLOODING ISSUE.WE PRIORITIZE RECEIVING THAT IN THE FIELD AND PRIORITIZE EVERY REQUEST AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG.
AND WE SCORE IT BASED ON A REAL RIGOROUS SCORING SYSTEM.
SO EVERY, EVERY DEFICIENCY HAS A SCORE, IF IT QUALIFIES FOR SERVICE BY THE TOWN.
AND THEN WE RANK THOSE AND WE TAKE CARE OF THE HIGHEST ONES FIRST, HIGHEST TO LOWEST AND GET AS MANY OF THOSE DOWN EVERY YEAR, BASED ON THE FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE TO US, WHAT'S LEFT OVER AFTER WE TAKE CARE OF THE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND THE PUMP STATIONS.
UM, AND THEN THE REST OF THAT, WE, WE, WE APPLY EVENLY, UH, BASED ON THE PRIORITY SCORE ALONE, REGARDLESS OF WHERE IT EXISTS.
DOES THAT HELP? AND THAT, OF COURSE, THAT HELPS W WELL, WAIT, I'M GOING TO AS BEING MORE TRANSPARENT WITH THE PUBLIC.
BECAUSE THE PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENTS ALWAYS GOING TO HAVE SOMEBODY WATCHING FOR DEFICIENCIES WITH AREAS OUTSIDE OF PLAN, YOU MAY NOT BE OKAY, SO THEY MAY NOT NECESSARILY RISE TO THE TOP AS QUICKLY.
UH, SO JUST HAVING THAT INFORMATION READILY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC, I THINK HELPS US IN THE LONG RUN.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR.
UM, I'M GLAD TO HEAR, UH, JEFF AND THAT SINGER'S, UH, BACKGROUND ON, ON THE ACCOUNTING AND THE USE, AND I'LL TAKE A GOOD LOOK.
I HAVE SOME, IT'S SOMETHING I HAVEN'T REALLY LOOKED DEEPLY AT YET IN TERMS OF HOW WE COMMUNICATE OUR EXPENDITURES.
I'LL TAKE A LOOK AT OUR WEBSITE DASHBOARD, AND IF IT'S NOT VERY CLEAR ON THERE, WE'LL MAKE SURE IT IS CLEAR.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? HEY, WHERE'S YOUR PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
MR. LENNOX, MR. STANFORD, MAYOR MCCANN POTION CARRY SIR GENERATION AND RESOLUTION
[Consideration of a Resolution – Office of Cultural Affairs & Arts Council Strategic Plan]
PLANNING FOR THE OLDEST OF THE CULTURAL AFFAIRS COUNCIL.SO MOVED SECOND DISCUSSION BY MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, THE SPEAKER.
UM, I HAVE A QUESTION IN TERMS OF ADOPTING A STRATEGIC PLAN, UM, IS THIS PART OF, OR SHOULD THIS BE PART OF THE, UM, STRATEGIC GRANT REVIEW THAT WE WILL BE GOING OVER IN THE NEXT COMING WEEK? UM, COUNCIL, WOMAN BECKER.
UM, AS THE DOCUMENT WAS PREPARED FOR TOWN COUNCIL, THE DRAFT STRATEGIC PLAN, UH, THE TOWN COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN, ONE OF THE STRATEGIES IN THE PLAN ITSELF IS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS STRATEGIC PLAN, AS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? THIS, THIS, UM, ARTS AND CULTURE STRATEGIC PLAN.
SO WHAT YOU'RE ULTIMATELY, ESSENTIALLY DOING THIS EVENING IS ADOPTING THAT STRATEGIC PLAN.
AND WE WILL BE VERY INTENTIONAL ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND OF COURSE THE REFINEMENT OF THE PLAN ALONG THE WAY.
SO THE, THIS DEPARTMENT DOES A PHENOMENAL JOB, THE HISTORY AND THE, WHAT IT BRINGS TO THE COMMUNITY, UM, IS AMAZING.
AND EVERYONE BENEFITS FROM IT IN TERMS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION.
AND, UM, THERE THERE'S I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS AS I DID, UM, IN THE FIRST PRESENTATION, UM, OF THE EDUCATIONAL COMPONENT AS IT RELATES TO, UM, GOING OUT IN TERMS OF THE EDUCATIONAL PIECE, WHICH I HAD ASKED SPECIFICALLY FOR, UM, CURRICULUMS, JUST KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT THE TOWN IS SUPPORTING, UM, AND THAT I HAVE YET TO SEE.
SO WITHOUT THAT, I DON'T THINK THAT I CAN TAKE A VOTE ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AT THIS TIME.
UM, I DON'T WANT TO APPROVE SOMETHING THAT MAY CONTAIN EDUCATIONAL ITEMS THAT I'M NOT COMFORTABLE, UM, UH, UH, SUGGESTING THAT THE TOWN AS A WHOLE, UM, SUPPORTS OR WOULD SUPPORT OR WITHOUT FURTHER DISCUSSION.
SO THAT'S WHERE I'M AT WITH THAT.
OTHERWISE I DON'T WANT ANY MISUNDERSTANDING OTHER THAN THAT SINGULAR ITEM, WHICH I WANT TO TEASE OUT, UM, AND KNOW MORE ABOUT, UM, THIS IS, UM, THIS IS JUST WONDERFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE TOWN BENEFITS AS A WHOLE, UM, MS. BECKER AND I
[01:15:01]
HEARD THOSE COMMENTS AS JOHN MCEWEN DID AT THE COMMITTEE AT THE COMMITTEE MEETING, UM, WHERE THIS WAS DISCUSSED IN DEPTH, UM, AND PLEASED THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN EXTERNAL ANYWHERE YET TO EVEN BUILD THAT CURRICULUM OR EVEN THINK OF THAT CURRICULUM UPON A ADOPTION OF THE PLAN, WE WOULD BUILD THAT CURRICULUM AND WE WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH THE APPROPRIATE COMMITTEE AND WITH COUNCIL, UM, BEFORE WE ARE OUT AND ABOUT SO TO SPEAK.SO PLEASE KNOW THAT THAT NOTE WAS HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR.
I KNOW THERE WAS NOT JUST ONE PERSON SAYING THAT, BUT I THINK THE ENTIRE COMMITTEE AT THE TIME.
SO THAT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING FOR US TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND.
SO KNOW THAT AS WE BUILD IT, WE WILL WORK WITH YOU AS A TOWN COUNCIL IN RESPECT OF THE COMMITTEE.
WELL, AS I SEE THE TITLE, THE TITLE HEADINGS, UM, IT SUGGESTS MORE TO ME THAN I'M COMFORTABLE WITH SUPPORTING AT THIS TIME.
SO BECAUSE OF THAT SINGULAR ITEM, UM, I'LL BE OBJECTING AT THIS POINT.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THIS? YUP.
MAYOR, UM, I JUST WANT TO COMPLIMENT THE ARTS GROUP AND JEN FOR THE INCREDIBLE PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN MADE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
AND I THINK THAT THE STRATEGIC PLAN DEMONSTRATES, UH, THAT PROGRESS, BUT ALSO AS A HARBINGER OF WHAT'S GOING TO COME.
SO I'M VERY ENTHUSIASTIC FOR THE WORK THAT'S BEEN.
UH, YEAH, I ECHO, UH, COUNCILMAN AIDS, UH, ON THAT COMMENT, UM, WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT, UM, THAT, UH, LIMITED SERVICE GOVERNMENT, LIKE THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD WOULD HAVE HIS OWN OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS.
UM, SO, UH, KUDOS TO THOSE OF, UH, IN THE COMMUNITY.
AND, UM, AT LEAST IN MY MIND, UH, THIS IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE CAN ACCOMPLISH HERE ON HILTON HEAD.
AND I WANT TO GIVE A LOT OF, TO, TO THAT, TO THAT OFFICE AND THE OFFICE OF ONE WITH, UH, THIS MCKEOWN.
UM, BUT SHE HAS REALLY CAPTURED THE DIVERSITY IN OUR COMMUNITY WHEN IT COMES TO THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF ARTS IN A DIFFERENT CULTURE AND, UM, DONE IT IN A VERY RESPECTIVE WAY WHERE EACH OF THOSE GROUPS NOW HAVE AN APPRECIATION FOR ONE ANOTHER, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE IN DIFFERENT AND THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE HAS EMBRACED THE FACT THAT IT IS HERE AS ONE.
UH, SO, UH, FOR, FOR, FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE NOT NECESSARILY CLEAR ON, UH, ONE ON ONE ALAN ONE COMMUNITY MEANS, UH, THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF IT, WHAT THIS OFFICE IS DOING.
UH, SO I COME IN THE OFFICE, I COMMEND US AS A COUNCIL AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS OFFICE.
UH, SO THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS, MR. MAYOR, MR. ORLANDO, YES.
CAN CONGRATS TO THE OFFICE OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS AND ARTS COUNCIL FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER, JUST IN LIGHT OF THE COMPLIMENTS TO JEN.
JEN WAS IN MY OFFICE BEFORE COUNCIL OF THE DAY AND I ASKED HER, ARE YOU GOOD? HOW ARE YOU? SHE SAID, HOW COULD I BE ANYTHING LESS THAN GREAT.
I'VE GOT THE BEST JOB ON THE ISLAND.
AND WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER.
WOULD THAT LIKE THE VOCAL? YES, SIR.
MR. BROWN, MR. HARKINS, MR. AMES RESOUNDING.
YES, MRS. BECKER, BECAUSE OF THE CAVEAT THAT I SPOKE OF BEFORE, UM, I'M GOING TO ABSTAIN FROM THE VOTE AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE, UM, TEASING OUT OF THE DETAILS OF THE STRATEGIC FAN.
