APPROVED? >> OK. NOW I'LL PUT IT UP FOR CITIZEN COMMENTS. AND ARE THERE SOME FOLKS HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS US? AND IF SO WE HAVE THREE MINUTES AND WE HOLD IT TO 15 MINUTES TOTAL.

SO WE'LL GO AHEAD. THE LADY IN THE BACK ONE UP. INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND LET US KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND. HI, I'M CAROL CRUTCHFIELD AND I AM HERE AGAIN ONCE TODAY AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN TO SPEAK ABOUT KING GEORGE ROJAS ON YOUR AGENDA AND THE VERDIER VIEW NEIGHBORHOOD. SO TO UPDATE YOU ON WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE I WAS LAST HERE TWO MEETINGS AGO I DID RECEIVE A CALL FROM THE CHAIR OF THIS COMMITTEE.

THANK YOU, MR. RODMAN. TO SHARE WITH ME THE PROCEDURES ON SPECIAL TASK DISTRICTS ALSO

RECEIVED AN EMAIL LAST TUESDAY FROM NEIL. >> I THINK HE'S ON LINE ABOUT THIS MEETING INFORMING ME OF THIS MEETING AND SAYING THAT LETTERS WERE SENT OUT TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS WHO SIGNED THE PETITION. I DID NOT RECEIVE A LETTER AS I WAS OUT OF TOWN THIS WEEKEND. I CAN'T CONFIRM IF ANYBODY ELSE RECEIVED THEIR LETTER BUT AS OF JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO IT STILL HAD NOT ARRIVED IN THE MAIL.

SO NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT THIS MEETING EXCEPT FOR ME. I SEE FROM YOUR STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS POSTED ON THE AGENDA THAT YOU ALL MOST LIKELY WILL VOTE TO DENY OR PETITION.

IN DOING SO YOU ARE LEAVING UP TO RESIDENTS TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE THAT THE COUNTY IS NOT ABOUT SINCE AT LEAST 2012 NO ONE OWNS THE ROADS. YOU AREN'T COLLECTING ANY TAX MONEY ON THESE ROADS. MR. FLO ALLEN STATED AT THAT LAST MEETING THIS WAS DISCUSSED THAT SOMEONE WAS PAYING TAXES ON THE ROADS. WELL FROM WHAT I CAN TELL NO ONE IS PAYING TAXES ON THE ROADS AND I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT IN YOUR RIGHT.

SO YOU WANT 79 RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY OWNERS AND TO COMMERCIAL PROPERTY OWNERS TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS THAT WAS CREATED BY THE DEVELOPER? YOU KNOW AND I KNOW THAT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. NOT UNLESS YOU AS A COUNTY REALLY STEP IN AND HELP US DO THAT. I SEE THAT A NEARBY ROAD THAT THE COUNTY TOOK OVER RAINBOW ROAD IS ALSO ON THE AGENDA AND YOUR RECOMMENDATION THERE IS TO CREATE A SPECIAL TASK DISTRICT . I'M WONDERING WHILE WE HAVE A PETITION TO ACCEPT ROADS INTO THE COUNTY SYSTEM. IF THE ANSWER IS JUST TO SUPPORT FORM SPECIAL TASK DISTRICTS YOU CAN TELL I'M FRUSTRATED OVER THIS ISSUE. NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE I FIRST STARTED INQUIRING SINCE 2012. WE DON'T KNOW WHO OWNS THE ROADS. COUNTY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT AND DEVELOPERS ARE NOT HELD A CANNIBAL AFTER THEY'VE COMPLETED MOST OF THEIR WORK.

PROMISES WERE MADE THAT ARE NOT KEPT AND THERE'S NO ACCOUNTABILITY OF WHAT DOES THAT SAY FOR ALL THE DEVELOPMENTS HAPPENING NOW? WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM IN 30

YEARS? >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU, CAROL.

ANYBODY ELSE? THEY'LL BE ONLINE. COME ON FORWARD.

GIVE US YOUR NAME AND TELL US WHAT YOU TALK ABOUT. >> MATTHEW.

MY NAME IS JOE MCNAMEE CEOS. I'M A MEMBER OF BEAUFORT TRAILBLAZERS BUT I'M SPEAKING AS A CITY OF BEAUFORT RESIDENT . THESE COMMENTS ARE ABOUT THE GROWING STREET JIM. YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY SAID TWENTY SIX YEARS OF GO AT IT YOU PROBABLY GET A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ON HOW IT'S TURNED OUT.

I JUST SAY THAT MAYBE YOUR YOU ALSO CONSIDER A SELLING IT BACK TO THE CITY WHERE YOU GOT IT FROM OR MAYBE SEE IF THE UNIVERSITY'S INTERESTED. I HAPPEN TO BE GOING BY BURTON

[00:05:03]

WELLS YESTERDAY SORT THE OUTDOOR BASKETBALL COURT AND IT APPEARS THAT THEY PUT SOME PATCHES DOWN AND THEN MAYBE RESURFACE. SO THE GRAY STREET GYM RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THAT THERE'S ANOTHER OUTDOOR BASKETBALL COURT AND THOSE KIDS PLAY ON A SURFACE THAT'S ALL CRACKED UP. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE PLANS SURFACE THAT LOOK THAT THAT COURTS OF HIGH USAGE AND SO THERE WAS A COMMENT AT THE CITY WHEN THE GREEN STREET GYM TASK FORCE PRESENTED TO THE CITY THERE WAS THAT THERE WAS A COMMENT BY THE COUNTY COUNTY STAFF FROM PERSON THAT I GUESS MAKING A CORRECTION THAT IT WAS NOT CABRINI STREET GYM IS NOT A COMMUNITY CENTER. IT IS I GUESS IN FACT THE PARKS AND RECREATION CENTER TO SOME PEOPLE. WE DON'T CARE WHAT YOU CALL IT. SO WHAT REALLY MATTERS IS WHAT GOES ON IN THAT BUILDING. I MEAN SHOOT IF YOU WANT TO SELL IT, I'LL MAKE YOU AN OFFER. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I TO SPEND THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOTTA BE MORE TO THIS TOWN AND THE MURDOCHS STEWART ATTRACTS SO THE KIDS WANT TO PLAY. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT FROM LACK OF PARTICIPATION.

SO YOU DON'T EVEN TRY THAT GET THE KIDS BACK TO TOWN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND WE DON'T COMMENT OURSELVES AT THESE BUT THE ADMINISTRATION WILL GENERALLY FOLLOW UP ON THE

[6. ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT]

ACTION. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

THIS PAST WEEKEND WE CAME BEFORE ON 10 ON AIRPORTS APARTMENT HOSTED THEIR SECOND ANNUAL FLYING FROG FIVE GAY AND OPEN HOUSE BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE

AIRPORT. >> WE HAD A GREAT TURNOUT AND A GREAT SHOW AND JON FINISHED.

WELL, NOT QUITE AS WELL SON BUT HE FINISHED REALLY WELL. GOOD FATHER.

YEAH. YEAH. GOOD FATHER.

HE IS LETTING THEM WIN. BUT ANYWAY WE HOPE THAT ALL YOUTH COUNCIL START GETTING YOUR STEPS IN BECAUSE WE'RE PLANNING FOR THE THIRD ANNUAL NEXT YEAR.

EVEN BETTER, BIGGER AND BETTER. WE KNOW WE'LL OBVIOUSLY PROVIDE A LITTLE HEAD START TO SOME OF THE COMMITTEE FOLKS THAT HAVE A LITTLE MANY MORE YEARS ON EARTH MAKE IT FAIR.

SO COUNCILMAN HERB JOHN AND COUNCILMAN KIND HANDLE DON'T JUST CATCH UP ON THE START.

>> SO WE'LL MAKE SURE IT'S FAIR FOR ALL BUT EVERYBODY GET YOUR STEPS AND SO WE CAN SEE 11 COUNCIL MEMBERS OUT THERE RUNNING NEXT YEAR. THAT'S IT AS FAR AS UPDATES, I'LL GLADLY TAKE ON ANY QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS FOR JARED AND IF I

DON'T SEE YOU ON SCREEN, JUST SPEAK UP. >> JUST ONE FOR ME.

I DID PUT MY DECALS IN THE CAR SATURDAY WORKED. GOOD.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER. THE WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THIS ORIGINALLY THERE WAS A CATEGORY OF PROPERTIES WHERE I THINK WE HAD LIKE TWO OR THREE PEOPLE LIVING IN ONE UNIT.

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A COMMERCIAL. DID THAT ALL GET RESOLVED?

DO YOU KNOW? >> SO ANYTHING FOR A QUIET PLACE OR LESS WAS CONSIDERED RESIDENTIAL. SO WE WERE ABLE TO WORK THAT OUT.

WE HAD A FEW ONE OFFS THAT WE HAD TO COORDINATE ON A ONE TO ONE BASIS BUT ONCE WE KIND OF GOT THROUGH A FEW THOSE THAT WERE WON ON SITUATIONS THAT WE REALLY HAVEN'T HAD MUCH ISSUE SINCE THEN AND I'VE BEEN APPROACHED BY A COUPLE NONPROFITS THAT QUESTION

WHETHER OR NOT THEY COULD GET A DECAF. >> SO FOR EXAMPLE, SOME OF THE THRIFT SHOPS TAKE GOODS IN AND SOME OF THEM THEY JUST HAVE TO THROW AWAY.

THEY HAVE TO TAKE THEM. DON'T KNOW YOU MIGHT ASK THE STAFF IF THEY COULD TAKE A LOOK AT WHETHER THAT IS A CATEGORY THAT WE MIGHT ALSO CONSIDER EITHER SELLING OR GIVING

DECALS. OKAY, LET'S KEEP WALKING. >> YOU'RE ON THE MENU CENTER FOR ME. RESIDENT HAD NOT YET IS DECLARED.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA? THERE'S A SMALL AMOUNT. WELL I MEAN THERE'S A COUPLE OF HUNDRED THAT WE HAVE OUT THERE. AT FIRST ONCE WE HAD THE INITIAL PUSH WE HAD UP TO THREE THOUSAND DECALS THAT HAD NOT BEEN DELIVERED AND WE'VE BEEN WILLING IN THAT DOWN A LOT OF THOSE KIND OF ONE TO ONES THAT WE HAD TO OUT OF THAT 300 OR SO. THERE'S SOME OF THOSE THAT ARE THAT ARE NEWS .

SO WE'VE KIND OF TABLED THEM BUT BASICALLY SOME GUYS TRIED TO PLAN AND THEY JUST DON'T QUALIFY. SO THAT THREE HUNDRED ISN'T ISN'T THE ACTUAL NUMBER BECAUSE

SOME OF THOSE ARE ACTUAL NOTES. >> IF THAT BUT OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS THAT'S ANOTHER

REASON WE'VE KIND OF POSTPONE THIS. >> OUR DATE IS BECAUSE AGAIN WE HAD THREE HOURS AND THAT WE KIND OF HAD TO USE MANPOWER WITH AND WE'VE BEEN WHITTLING THROUGH THOSE LITTLE BY LITTLE. SO NOW WE'RE AT A LEVEL OR FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH IT.

>> COULD YOU GIVE ME A NUMBER KNOWS THAT I IN MY DISTRICT? YES.

WHEN YOU GET STAFF THAT DAY. OKAY. THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT, JARED. YES, SIR. COUNCILMAN DAWSON.

INITIALLY WE HAD SOME HICCUPS WITH THE WITH THE EARS PROPERTY PROCESS OF THE TAX NOTICE GOING TO ONE OF THE EARS AND THE OTHER IS NOT ACTUALLY HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE BUCHANAN AND I KNOW IN WORKING WITH CINDY. WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO WORK THROUGH THAT PROCESS. HOW HOW'S THAT AT THIS STAGE IN THE GAME? HOW'S THAT WORKING OUT? YEAH, I THINK WE'RE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.

>> BASICALLY THAT'S BEEN THE ONE THAT'S BEEN A HAND ON HAND PROCESS.

SO AS THOSE COME UP WE'LL CALL THE INDIVIDUAL THAT'S APPLIED AT FIRST IT'LL BE FLAGGED THAT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON OUR SYSTEM AS AS A STRAIGHT AND EASY ONE.

SO WE'LL CALL AND FOLLOW UP AND ASSUME AND WE CAN GET A HOLD OF THAT INDIVIDUAL TO TALK THROUGH THE PROCESS. WE'LL GO AHEAD MANUALLY ENTER THAT DEKALB IN THAT SITUATION.

OUR ONLY PROBLEM'S BEEN WHEN WE GOT THE CONTACT INFORMATION AND TRIED TO CALL IN AND FOLLOWING UP AND HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REACH THE INDIVIDUAL, THAT'S WHEN WE'VE HAD DIFFICULTIES BUT OTHERWISE WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH. ALL RIGHT.

IF YOU WOULD DO IN I'D BE I'D BE HAPPY TO ASSIST IN THAT PROCESS IF YOU'D SEND ME A LIST

[00:15:02]

THROUGH THE PROPERTY OWNERS IN MY DISTRICT THAT DID NOT RESPONDING.

AND SO THAT I CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE COMPOSER AND SEE YEAH I BELIEVE HE HAS THAT LIST SO

[18. PRESENTATION BY THE CITY OF BEAUFORT APPOINTED CHARLES LIND BROWN COMMUNITY CENTER TASK FORCE.]

WE CAN GET BOTH THOSE TO BOTH OF YOU. >> ALL RIGHT.

GOOD ENOUGH. VERY MUCH OK. NEXT TIME IS WE HAVE A PRESENTATION FROM THE CHARLES LIN BROWN COMMUNITY CENTER TASK FORCE.

COME ON UP AND TELL US WHAT WHAT YOU GOT ON YOUR MIND AND LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM ME IN ROCK. RIGHT. WE CAN MOVE YOU UP.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT AROUND. YES, SIR. WE APPRECIATE THAT.

GOOD AFTERNOON. MITCH MITCHELL, CITY COUNCILMAN SAID IT WOULD BE A BAD IDEA WITH AN INVESTMENT SOMEWHERE. TASK FORCE MEMBERS WE ALL IDENTIFIED BY OUR SPORTS OF COURSE I WANT TO THANK THE COUNTY THANK ESPECIALLY ERIC GREENWAY FOR BEING A PART TASK FORCE. SO THE TASK FORCE WAS ORGANIZED TO BASICALLY DETERMINE HOW WE COULD REVIVE THE CHARLES LINDBERGH COMMUNITY CENTER OKATIE QUEEN STREET.

JOE HAS PREVIOUSLY REFERRED TO SO WE DID A SURVEY SO AS TO GATHER AS MUCH OBJECTIVE INFORMATION FROM THE CITIZENS IN IN THE CITY OF BEAUFORT AS TO WHAT THAT SENTENCE SHOULD BE. WE STARTED OUR WORK BACK IN JUNE, DID SOME WORK OUT ACTUALLY DURING THE DOOR AS WELL AS ONLINE SURVEY AND WE GOT ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED POINT NINETY FIVE RESPONSES WHICH I'M TOLD WAS PRETTY GOOD. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CITY OF BEAUFORT FOR THE LOGISTICAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT THAT THE CITY PROVIDED.

ALSO I'D LIKE TO MENTION FOR THE RECORD THAT THE CITY OF BEAUFORT REALIZES THAT WE THE CITY DO NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE CHARLESTON.

OUR COMMUNITY. IS THAT GOING TO BE A JOKE? HOWEVER, THAT FACILITY

PRIMARILY SERVES WILL SERVE THE CORE OF THE CITY OF BEAUFORT. >> AND AS WE LOOK WITHIN THAT CORE WHAT WAS VERY ABSENT IS ANY FACILITY THAT COULD SERVE AS A REFUGE OR A PLACE WHERE CHILDREN CAN GO TO FEEL SAFE AND THAT IS WHAT MOTIVATED US TO DO THE SURVEY.

I WANT TO PAY ALSO I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I I'M NOT HERE IN ANY OFFICIAL CITY OF DIFFERENT CAPACITY. I'M HERE AS A MEMBER OF THE CHARLESTON BROWN COMMUNITIES AND A TASK FORCE. BUT I WONDER IF ESPECIALLY RECOGNIZE ERIC GREENWAY WE ARE VERY CONCERNED AS TO WHO WOULD REPRESENT THE CITY ON THE TASK FORCE AND AFTER REPEATEDLY.

WELL MAYBE THAT WOULD REPEAL IT A FEW TIMES ASKING FOR THAT REPRESENTED THINGS THAT HE WOULDN'T BE THAT REPRESENTATIVE AND HE HAS TRULY BEEN A FULL PARTICIPANT IN THE SURVEY AND HELPING FACILITATE THE WAY AHEAD. SO AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, ERIC. SO AT THIS TIME WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS HAND IT OVER TO OUR CHAIRMAN AND ALLEN AND HE WILL DO THE BRIEFING THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY.

AGAIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US. GOOD AFTERNOON.

CHAIRMAN MEMBERS COUNCIL THOSE PRESENT AS WELL AS THOSE THAT ARE ONLINE AS COUNCILMAN

MITCHELL SAID. >> I WANT TO THANK NOT ONLY MR. GREENWAY FOR PARTICIPATING WITH THE ALSO NOT WEARING HIS SHIRT TODAY BUT WILL EXCUSE ME MAKE MASK ALSO CARLSON IN YORK GLOVER WAS THERE AND THE STAFF OF PALS WE HAVE A COUPLE OF EVENTS THAT WE DID AND W L.

AS COUNCILMAN MITCHELL HIS STATED THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE TASK FORCE WAS TO TRY

AND SEE IF WE CAN REVITALIZE THE GREEN STREET GYM. >> THERE IS CURRENTLY NO BUT THE LEN BROWN CENTER AS FORMERLY ADDRESS THE SURVEY WE DID WITH PARTICIPATION FROM THE CITY OF BEAUFORT POLICE DEPARTMENT THEY HAD A CHILL WITH THE COPS AND WE ATTENDED TWO OF THEIR FUNCTIONS. ONE WAS AT THE PIGEON POINT PARK ON JULY, THE TWENTY THIRD ANOTHER AT THE WASHINGTON STREET PARK ON JULY THE 30TH. THEN WE JUST SAID WE DID A WALK

[00:20:05]

OF THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT. THE MEMBERS OF THE STAFF TASK FORCE ALONG WITH SOME MEMBERS FROM THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND WE GATHERED INFORMATION FROM THAT SURVEY SO THAT IT WAS TRYING TO BE AS INCLUSIVE AS AS IT COULD BE.

>> THE THIS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT COOPERATION FROM BOTH THE CITY

OF BEAUFORT AS WELL AS BEFORE COUNTY CAMPUS. >> NEXT SLIDE.

THE TASK YOU CAN SEE WAS VERY DIVERSE. WE WENT OUT, GOT TO MEET THE YOUNG PEOPLE, THE CHILDREN AS WELL AS THE SENIOR CITIZENS IN THAT NORTHWEST QUADRANT AND GOT PARTICIPATION FROM THEM. WE WERE WELCOME IN SOME CASES THEY INVITED SOME OF US INTO THEIR HOMES, WANTED TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE SOME WATER WITH THEM. THE TASK FORCE WAS CREATED ON JUNE THE 22ND AND WE WENT THROUGH INTO AUGUST THE 28TH. WE HAD NEXT MONTH WE HAD

PARTICIPATION AS YOU SAID. >> FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE PEOPLE.

NOW WHEN WE THINK OF THAT THERE WERE NOT ALL RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF BEAUFORT.

>> NEXT SLIDE WHEN WE LOOK AT IT, IT'S A UNIQUE SITUATION THAT WE HAVE TO BUILD THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY OWNED BY THE CITY BEAUFORT AND THEN. SO FOR THE MASSIVE AMOUNT I THINK OF A DOLLAR TO TWO TO THE COUNTY HAD TO BE UTILIZED AS A RECREATIONAL FACILITY WHERE WE

LOOKED AT PARTICIPATION IN THE SURVEY. >> WE HAD 70 PERCENT THAT WERE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF BUTTE BECAUSE WE ASKED WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD DO YOU LIVE IN IF YOU KNOW THE NAME OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD? GIVE IT TO US.

ARE AS WELL AS THOSE THAT ARE NOT RESIDENTS OF THE STATE. SO WE HAD ABOUT 30 PERCENT THAT WERE NOT RESIDENTS OF THE OTHER CITY. NEXT PLACE LOOKING AT THE

CROSS-SECTION OF WHERE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE CAME FROM. >> THE ONES THAT ARE IN LARGE PRINT ARE THE COMMUNITIES THAT HAD THE LARGEST RESPONSE. AND SO WE HAD THERE FROM MOSSY OAKS, THE OLD COMMONS NORTHWEST QUADRANT BATTERY CREATE PORT RAUL AND BURTON AS WELL ALL PARTICIPATED IN THAT THAT SURVEY AND THAT WAS THE RESULTS OF US SAID WITH THE 0 2 WITH THE COP RIGHT NOW WE LOOKED AT THINGS LIKE WE LOOKED AT THE AGE GROUP AND WE WERE GETTING IN THREE SECTIONS OF THE 0 TO 18. AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT THAT WE ASKED THEM WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE? AND WE DIVIDED UP INTO FITNESS AND SPORTS WELLNESS TECHNICAL CLASSES AS WELL AS YOU KNOW, ALL OF THE ABOVE AND OUR LARGEST PARTICIPATION IN OUR RESPONSE BACK FROM THOSE WISHING TO HAVE FITNESS AND

SPORTS NOW. >> WHEN THERE'S A CORRELATION WE HAVE A SECOND GROUP THE

DEPUTY AND TWO FIFTY FORWARD. >> AND IRONICALLY THE RESPONSE WAS BASICALLY THE SAME.

THEIR MAJOR CONCERN WAS LOOKING AT THAT FITNESS IN SPORTS WELLNESS TECHNICAL SKILLS YOU LOOK AT IT RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU CAN OPERATE A COMPUTER PHYSICAL PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CRAFTS. SO WE ARE LOOKING AT THIS AS

BEING A ALL AROUND FACILITY. >> YOU KNOW, WE'RE FORTUNATE IN THIS RESPECT THAT WE HAVE THE

[00:25:02]

BRICK AND MORTARS. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT CAN WE DO TO GET IT BACK AS A

FUNCTIONING PART OF THE COMMUNITY. >> UNFORTUNATELY IN THE YEARS IT WAS BEING USED BY BRIDGES, IT PRETTY WELL BLOCKED THE COMMUNITY OUT OF USING THAT

FACILITY. >> SO NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE COUNTY, WE'RE LOOKING AT WHAT COLLECTIVE WE CAN DO TO GET THAT BACK AS A FUNCTIONING FACILITY.

WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE AGE GROUP OF 55 AND ABOVE AGAIN LOOKING AT SPORTS FITNESS, WELLNESS, TACTICAL SKILLS, ARTS AND CRAFTS KIND. SO WE DO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL

THREE OF THOSE GROUPS TOGETHER. >> IT GIVES YOU AN IDEA WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS LOOKING TO

SEE, WHAT WE CAN HAVE BACK IN IN THAT IN THAT FACILITY. >> TIME NOW AS WE DID THE SURVEY WE START FOR THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAD A HOUSEHOLD WITH CHILDREN.

WHAT DO YOU WHAT DID YOUR CHILD DO AFTER SCHOOL? AND LOOKING AT THE ONES THE GO DIRECTLY HOME, THOSE ONES THAT GET PLAY SOME TYPE OF A SPORT HAVE A PART TIME JOB OR GO TO AFTER SCHOOL CARE. NOW WE KNOW RIGHT NOW EVERY PLACE YOU GO YOU SEE SIGNS OUT

HIRING. >> EVERYONE HAS POSITIONS OPEN INCLUDING YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY COUNTY AND ONE OF THE MAJOR ABSOLUTELY TRYING OUT WITH SOME PEOPLE IS THE FACT THEY'RE DAY

CARE ARE AFTER SCHOOL CARE FOR MY CHILD? >> YOU KNOW, WE USED TO THINK OF LOCK KEY CHILDREN BE IN THE URBAN AREA UP IN NEW YORK AND THE MAJOR CITIES BUT WE'RE

EXPERIENCING THAT RIGHT NOW. >> SO WE ARE LOOKING AGAIN AT HOW CAN WE FULFILL THAT NEED AND TRY AND GET SOME PEOPLE WHERE THEY WILL BE ABLE TO RETURN TO WORK.

BUT AT THE SAME TO PROVIDE A SERVICE WE AXES WE WE'RE GOING WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER TO HELP OUT IF WE CAN GET THE LYNN BROWN CENTER BACK BACK OPEN?

>> WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER AND SURPRISINGLY WE HAVE ABOUT BETWEEN THE 19 AND

50 FOR A RESPONSE OF ABOUT 50 PERCENT. >> THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO COME AND VOLUNTEER THAT 55 AND ABOVE. WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 42 PERCENT THAT WOULD BE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER. NOW WE REALIZE THAT THE COUNTY WITH STAFFING WOULD NEED TO HAVE THOSE SUPPORTED THERE. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT HAVING THE COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT SO IF WE CAN RECRUIT THOSE INDIVIDUALS THROUGH A COMBINED EFFORT TO COME IN AND VOLUNTEER AND ASSIST THE STAFF OF PALS IN REOPEN THE CENTER, THEN HOPEFULLY WE HAVE A GROUP THAT WE CAN CALL ON THAT WOULD DO THAT.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SOMEONE MENTIONED IS IT CENTERS RIGHT NEAR USA BE THE DORMITORIES THIS YOUNG PEOPLE OVER THERE ARE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO THAT WE CAN TAP.

SO I SAY GET THEM INVOLVED INTO IT. WELL WE'LL LOOK AT HIGH SCHOOL ESPECIALLY SENIORS. EVERYBODY IS WHEN THEY LOOK AT THEIR RESUMÉ.

WHAT DID YOU DO IN TERMS OF PARTICIPATION IN YOUR COMMUNITY? AND THIS COULD BE A SOURCE THAT WE CAN HAVE SOME OF THOSE CHILDREN AT HIGH SCHOOL COMING AND VOLUNTEERING. ALSO WE'RE CONCERNED AS TO WHAT THE HOURS OF OF THE OPERATION AND WE DID THAT LOOKING AT MORNINGS MIDDAY AND EVEN AS WELL AS THE WEEKENDS.

[00:30:05]

SO WE KNOW THAT MORNING HOURS CHILDREN ARE IN SCHOOL. BUT IF WE LOOK AT THE SENIOR CITIZENS HAVING A FACILITY THAT THEY COULD GO IN AND HAVE SOME SOCIALIZATION.

WE DON'T HAVE A SENIOR CITIZEN CENTER IN BEAUFORT PROPER. UNFORTUNATELY IN MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY MY 94 YEAR OLD MOTHER WAS ATTENDING A SENIOR CITIZENS OVER AT ST. HELENA.

BUT WITH THE PAN ENDEMIC AND THAT CENTER CLOSING DOWN, WE SAW THE DETERIORATION OF HER MENTAL STATUS FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO SOCIALIZE. SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO OUR SENIORS TO DO IT AND YOU KNOW, WHEN I THINK OF MYSELF APPROACHING THAT AREA I TO NEED SOMEWHERE THAT I CAN GO, YOU KNOW, TO TO GET NOW WE'LL LOOK AT THE CENTER AND THIS BEING A PLACE THAT WE CAN BRING BOTH CHILDREN AS WELL AS YOUNG ADULTS AND SENIORS TOGETHER.

>> I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE POPE MEETS WITH CITY OF BEAUFORT. >> THEY ARE WILLING TO PARTICIPATE WITH THE CLOSING OF THE THEATER HERE. THEY USED TO HAVE A PLACE THEY COULD HAVE. POLICE MOVIE CLUB LEN BROWN CENTER WOULD BE A NEXT PLACE THAT THAT COULD BE UTILIZED THERE. AND WHEN WE LOOK AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN SOCIETY NOW AND SOME OF THE ILL FEELINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE TOWARDS LAW

ENFORCEMENT, THAT'S WHERE THEY COULD BOND AND GET TO KNOW. >> AND I HAVE TO DO A DISCLAIMER. MY SON IS A DEPUTY SHERIFF SO NATURALLY I'M GOING TO MOVE TOWARDS ANYTHING THAT'S GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A GOOD COMMUNITY IN WHICH FOR HIM

TO TO WORK THE CENTER AS A WHOLE. >> COMING FROM THE STAND TASK FORCE AND THE TASK FORCE IS WORKING TOWARDS GETTING OUT OF A JOB.

WE REALIZED THAT THIS WAS JUST ADVISORY IN NATURE. >> WE ARE ACTING THAT YOU COULD HAVE ADEQUATE STAFFING FOR THE CHARLES ALLEN BROWN CENTER LOOKING AT HAVING A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE COUNTY AND THE AND THE CITY OF BEAUFORT FOR THAT CENTER.

AND ALSO PARTNERING WITH OUTSIDE GROUPS HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL CALLS AND CONTACTS FROM OTHER GROUPS THAT WOULD LIKE TO COME IN AND MENTOR THE CHILDREN OUT SCHOOL RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET IS THE THUMBS UP. THEY ARE NOW SERVING ABOUT 25 CHILDREN THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SERVE MORE BUT THEY HAVE NO SPACE IF SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD BE WORKED TOGETHER AS A JOINT EFFORT. WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS, MENTOR THOSE CHILDREN, GET THEIR GRADES UP AND LOOKING AT IT WE REALIZE THAT THE SENIOR CITIZENS CENTER IS NOT A FUNCTION OF COUNTY BUT IF WE COULD WORK WITH THE COUNCIL ON AGING AND HAVE THEM TO UTILIZE THAT FACILITY AND YOU KNOW THINGS COULD BE WORKED OUT THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER AREA THAT AREA THEN WE COULD UTILIZE AND WE ALREADY HAVE DONE SOME THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, ENDED UP BEING GOOD IN TERMS OF PARTICIPATION. WE PUT DAN THE COUNTY FUNDING THAT WE HAD ON AUGUST 28

BECAUSE OF SOME LOGISTICAL PROBLEMS. >> WE DIDN'T GET THE WORD OUT AS MUCH AS WE WANTED IT TO. BUT THE CHILDREN AND ADULTS WERE THERE.

THAT WAS YOU KNOW, IT WAS PRODUCTIVE. WE HAD THE MAYOR OF BEAUFORT CAME OUT WITH HIS CHILDREN A COUNCIL MEMBER FROM PULP ROLL WAS THERE OF COUNCILMAN GLOVER WAS THERE A STAFF MEMBERS FROM PILES WITH THEIR WITH HAD IT SET UP AN AND WORKED WELL?

[00:35:04]

SO IT IS A VIABLE THING THERE THAT WE CAN GET WORKING IF WE GET THE SUPPORT FROM COUNTY COUNCIL AS WE HAVE OBTAINED CITY COUNCIL AND COOPERATION AND SUPPORT FROM PALES TO GET IT OPEN AND TO HAVE AN OPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. AND LET ME LOOK AT IT.

YOU MAKE IT A FULL SERVICE CENTER. >> HOW MANY QUESTIONS AND THANK

YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FIRST QUESTION FOR ERIC YOU

FIND IF I MIGHT IT IS. >> IS THIS SOMETHING THAT IS RIPE FOR DISCUSSION NOW OR IS IT SOMETHING THE STAFF NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT AND BRING US TO RECOMMENDATION WITH? WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE ON HOW WE MIGHT BEST MOVE THIS FORWARD AND THINK ABOUT IT? WELL, WE AS A STAFF YOU WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS.

>> WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT STUFF RIGHT NOW AS WE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER AND FIND OUT, YOU KNOW, STAFFING THESE CENTERS IS PROBLEMATIC FOR US PARTLY BECAUSE PAY OPPORTUNITIES, THINGS LIKE THAT. BUT WE'RE ALSO EXPLORING WITH THIS AND OTHER GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY WITH IMPLEMENTING A ACTIVE PARKS FRIENDS PROGRAM WE HAVE FOR THE

PARKS AND PARKS RIGHT NOW. >> BUT WE COULD HAVE THE FRIENDS OF GROUP FOR CHARLES BROWN WHERE THEY WOULD ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH US AND THEN WE WOULD ALLOW THEM TO USE THE FACILITY TO DO EVENTS THAT WE CAN'T NECESSARILY CARRY OUT THROUGH THE COUNTY PARKS AND REC PROGRAM BECAUSE SOME OF THESE ACTIVITIES OF COURSE ARE NOT RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS

AT PARKS AND REC WOULD BE WOULD BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT. >> BUT WE HAVE THEIR COOPERATION. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS.

THIS IS JUST MORE OF INFORMATION FOR YOU ALL. NO NEED FOR YOU ALL TO TAKE ANY ACTION. JUST TRUST THAT I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE TASK FORCE, TELL YOU TO GET THE CENTER OPEN INTO ALL OFFER ACTIVITIES THERE AS WE CAN BRING THINGS ONLINE.

WELL, WE'VE GOT TO HELP STAFF FIRST RECOGNIZING THAT THAT'S KIND OF WHERE WE ARE AND THIS

COME BACK TO US AGAINST IN SOME FORM. >> ARE THERE ANY ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS BY BY ONLINE? I JUST WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR A VERY THOROUGH REPORT. SHOWING THE NEED FOR OPEN UP THESE CENTERS AND ALTHOUGH THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LYNN BROWN THIS COULD ACTUALLY BE REPLICATED ALL OVER THE NORTHERN PART OF THE DIFFICULTY.

I CAN SEE THE SAME ISSUE ON SEEING HOW I CAN SEE THE SAME ISSUE IN THE BIGGER STATE AS WELL. SO I JUST WANT TO THANK THE TASK FORCE FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER AND GIVING US A GLIMPSE OF WHAT SOME OF THE POSSIBILITIES ARE OUT THERE FOR A COMMUNITY INVOLVED. LIKE GERALD? YEAH, I ECHO WHAT YOUR COMMENT IT. I HAVE A SIMILAR SITUATION AND THE BIGGEST A COMMUNITY WHERE WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS. IT'S JUST THAT LYNN BROWN IS SEVERAL STEPS AHEAD OF US. AND SO WE WE COULD JUST FOLLOW THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S LEADERSHIP AND GUIDE US ALL THROUGH THIS PROCESS TO BRING FORTH A FINAL PRODUCT THAT THE COUNTY AND THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CITIZENS IN THESE VARIOUS COMMUNITIES WOULD BE VERY, VERY PROUD TO ACTUALLY HAVE THE ACTIVITIES THAT THEY SO DESIRE IN THESE AND THESE CENTERS AND I THINK ERIC IS IS TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO WORK THROUGH THIS AND GET US TO THAT POINT. SO GOOD JOB. KEEP IT UP.

BUT JUST TO LET YOU KNOW OR AND I'LL TELL WHERE THE SIX LOVE HOUSE MINISTRY HAD A FUN DEFICIT FOR SENIOR CITIZENS OH WELL ATTENDED HAD SOME MEALS THERE FOR THEM TO PLAY BINGO.

>> I DID GO BY AND REALLY ENJOY SEEING THE SENIORS HAVE A GOOD TIME.

ONE OF THOSE FORMER TEACHER OF MINE AND SHE AND SHE AND ENJOYED HERSELF ON THE GRAND BRAND FAMILY FOUNDATION HAS PAIRED UP WITH CLASSIC CARS AND TRUCKS A BEAUFORT AND ALSO THE BUICK POLLING DEPARTMENT. ON OCTOBER THE 30 FIRST THEY'RE HAVING A TRUNK TREAT.

THE CITY IS HAVING SOMETHING THE WATERFRONT PARK THAT'S GOING TO END ROUGHLY TO ADD TO

[00:40:11]

AND FROM 3 TO APPROXIMATELY 7. THEY WANT TO HAVE A TRUNK, A TREAT LOOKING AT THE PARKING LOT AND THE LYNN BROWN CENTER AS WELL AS OPEN BY THE BASKETBALL COURT.

THEY'VE INDICATED THEY'LL COME HOUSE CANDIDATES SO THEY CAN GIVE TO THE KIDS AT ALL.

AND AGAIN, IF YOU HAVEN'T PICKED UP ON LOOKING AT GETTING LAW ENFORCEMENT INVOLVED IN THIS SO THAT WE HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP. BETWEEN OUR YOUTH AND AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. SO WE DO HOPE THAT YOUNG WILL TAKE THIS INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU AND WORKING OURSELVES OUT OF A JOB. AND RETURNING THE LYNN BROWN CENTER BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

FOR YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO BE HERE AND GENERAL. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. WE'LL NOTE YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATOR ON HIS EFFICIENCY REPORT THAT IS. THANK YOU.

JUST BEFORE I START, I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT THE KID WHO BEAT THAT RACE STILL WEIGHS ON ME.

BUT HE WAS OUT FOUR TIMES HIS AGE AND HE BEAT ME BY FOUR SECONDS.

I'M GOING AFTER NEXT YEAR. IT MIGHT BE FOR CONTACT. OK.

THE TWO CONTRACTS YOU'VE GOT IN FRONT OF YOU ARE THERE BEAUFORT JANITORIAL SERVICES AT THE AIRPORTS MAY SEEM KIND OF MUNDANE BUT THAT'S A BIG DEAL AT THE AIRPORTS WHICH BOTH SERVE AS GATEWAYS TO OUR COUNTY AND OF COURSE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT SERVES AS A

GATEWAY TO THE ISLAND. >> SO VERY IMPORTANT SCOPES OF WORK THAT ARE PERFORMED THERE. WE'VE PUT OUT AN RFP IN THE SPRING AND REALLY DIDN'T GET

SATISFACTORY RESPONSES. >> SO WE PUT OUT A WE KIND OF REVISED IT AND PUT OUT A SECOND OUR FEEDER IN THE SUMMERTIME AND IN THE INTERIM WE HAD TWO COMPANIES WHO WHO FULFILLED INTERIM CONTRACTS WANTED AT HILTON ISLAND AIRPORT, THE SECOND ONE TO BE FOR EXECUTIVE AIRPORT. WE HAD SIX PROPOSALS RECEIVED. TWO OF THEM WERE LOCAL AND THEN WE FOR THAT WERE NOT LOCAL ONE FROM AS FAR AWAY AS PHENIX, ARIZONA IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THE BIT ON AIRPORTS THEY HAD THE OPTION TO PROPOSE ON JUST ONE AIRPORT OR BOTH AIRPORTS AND WE DID GET A VARIETY OF THAT NEITHER IS A LOT OF THIS LIKE THESE WAS THE HIGH BIDDER OR THE LITTLE BETTER BUT THEY DO THE ONES THAT WE HAVE RECOMMENDED FIT IN VERY WELL.

>> THE TWO COMPANIES THAT WE RECOMMENDED ONE FOR YOU FOR EXECUTIVE AND ONE FOR AN ISLAND AIRPORT ARE THE BOTH THE FIRMS THAT HAD THE INTERIM CONTRACTS DURING THE SUMMER AND WE WERE GLAD THAT THEY BID ON THIS BECAUSE BOTH OF THOSE COMPANIES DEMONSTRATED EXCELLENCE DURING THE SUMMER AND AS YOU KNOW FROM OUR PAST DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE TRAFFIC GOING THROUGH TO THE

ISLAND AIRPORTS TERMINAL, IT WAS A PRETTY BUSY SUMMER. >> AND SO THIS COMPANY WHICH IS A LOCAL AND THEN MINORITY OWNED COMPANY FROM RIGHT DOWN THE STREET FROM THE AIRPORT DID A

FANTASTIC JOB REALLY JUST DID WELL. >> AND FRANKLY WE'RE BIDDING THIS OUT. WE HAD STAKEHOLDERS IN THE TERMINAL COME TO US AND SAY WE REALLY HOPE YOU CAN HANG ONTO THESE GUYS. SO THEY THEY HAD A VERY STRONG VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ON THEIR SIDE AND THEY'VE BEEN PERFORMING VERY WELL.

SO WITH THAT WE DO RECOMMEND TO THEM WATER BOTH OF THOSE CONTRACTS.

>> ANY ANY QUESTIONS FOR JOHN ON THE CONTRACTS SEEING NONE. THANK YOU.

AND I WE'LL TALK ABOUT NINE AND 10 VOTE ON THEM ALL TOGETHER AT WE HAVE TO CHANGE ORDERS WHICH I UNDERSTAND WERE ONES THAT WERE APPROVED WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATORS LEVEL AND THEN THERE'S BEEN SOME CHANGE JONES THAT HAVE TO COME BACK TO COMMITTEE.

>> THIS IS ITEMS 9 AND 10 DNA LAB AND DETOUR ROAD IS IS SOMEBODY GOING TO SPEAK TO THOSE? LOOKS LIKE GERARD IS ALL RIGHT, SIR.

ITEMS 9 AND 10. THESE ARE CHANGE ORDERS BOTH THESE CONTRACTS FOR THE DNA LAB WAS A CONTRACT. BOTH CONTRACTS WERE ESTABLISHED UNDER THE SMALL UNIQUE CONTRACT PROCEDURE. SO FIFTY THOUSAND UNLESS THESE CONTRACTS THEMSELVES ARE LESS

[00:45:03]

THAN FIFTY THOUSAND. BUT THE OVERALL CONTRACTS ARE GREATER THAN THOSE THE NEED TO COME BACK TO COMMITTEE FOR APPROVAL. SO THE DNA LAB IS 100 PERCENT COMPLETE. THE SHERIFF'S OCCUPYING SPACE THIS CHANGE ORDER IS 28 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR ONE FOR THE FOR THE ENGINEER BE FOR DESIGN BUILD THAT CONTRACT ACTUAL COME OUT OF SAVINGS THAT WE HAD IN THE CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS.

SO THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL FUNDS NEEDED FOR THAT BUT IT WILL CREATE THEIR CONTRACT VALUE GREATER THAN THE FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS THUS MAKING COMMITTEE APPROVAL.

SO THAT'S ITEM NUMBER NINE. ITEM NUMBER 10 IS FOR DETOUR ROAD PATHWAYS.

WE HAD A CONTRACT WITH A DESIGN ENGINEER. THIS IS THE PATHWAY OUT OF THE OIL BRANCH HOSPITAL. WE'RE CURRENTLY GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTING THE PATHWAY FROM WHERE THE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT PROPERTY IS NORTH BRICK ROAD BUT IN THE PROCESS WE ARE A FOOT PATHWAY. THERE'S A FIRE PUT PARTIALLY IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.

SO WE SAID, YOU KNOW, IT MAKES SENSE TO TAKE THAT PATHWAY OUT AND REPLACE IT WITH A FOOT.

SO IT'S CONSISTENT WITH A NEW PATHWAY. SO WE HAD A SLIGHT CHANGE ORDER OF THIRTY NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS BUT THAT TOO BROUGHT ABOUT THE FIFTY THOUSAND OUR THRESHOLD OF THESE MORE ACCOUNTING PROCESSES BUT JUST BOTH OF THESE COMMITTEE APPROVAL.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR JARED ON THESE TWO CONTRACTS? >> A QUICK ANYWAY.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? WELL SO WE HAD A CONTRACT OUT OF TOWN CONTRACTOR AND THEY WERE MANAGING IT OUT OF TOWN AND GETTING LOCAL RESOURCES TO WORK ON THAT.

>> THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT TROUBLESOME THERE. ALSO THEY HAD SOME PROCUREMENT ISSUES WITH COVID GETTING MATERIALS. SO BETWEEN THE COMBINATION WE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS. WE HAD TO BRING THE CONTRACTOR IN AND GET THEM BACK ON TRACK.

>> SO THERE WAS A LOT OF JUST CONTRACTOR WORKING WITH THAT PARTICULAR KIND.

IT WAS A NEW CONTRACTOR. WE KNOW WE'RE WITH FOUR. SO ALL OF THAT AFTER A WHILE WE GOT ON THE SAME PATH BUT THERE WAS A PERIOD OF TIME WHERE THEY WEREN'T PERFORMANCE.

THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN OK. >> I LOOK FOR EMOTION FOR ITEMS 7 THROUGH 10 CONTRACTS AND I

CAN OK. >> ANY OBJECTION? NO, BUT.

ITEM SEVEN HAS TO BE MOVED TO FULL COUNCIL. YES.

BECAUSE IT'S ABOVE THAT BUT EIGHT NINE AND TEN CAN BE APPROVED BY THIS COMMITTEE.

THAT'S CORRECT. >> THAT IS CORRECT. SEE NO OBJECTIONS.

[11. INTRODUCTION TO RFQ #092021E – CONSULTING SERVICES FOR CONVERSION TO ELECTRIC FLEET]

THESE STAND APPROVED AS. SO THAT NEXT ONE WHILE JARED'S HERE TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT

ELECTRIC FLEET. >> YES, SIR. >> THIS IS JUST MORE OF AN UPDATE ACTUALLY THAN A. ITEM PROMOTION FOR ACTION. SO THIS IS SOMETHING WE'RE WORKING ON. WE START TALKING ABOUT THIS A FEW MONTHS AGO AS FAR AS HEY, AS WE'RE UPDATING AND UPSIZING OUR FLEET, WOULD IT MAKE SENSE FOR US TO THINK ABOUT EDUCATION IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THIS CALL MOMENTUM NATION NOT JUST LOCALLY BUT NATIONWIDE.

OUR PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS SO WE SAID YES, IS PRICE SOMETHING WE NEED TAKE A LOOK AT.

AND IN DOING SO WE QUICKLY REALIZED THAT HEY, THERE'S A LOT OF THE STUFF THAT WE DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T HAVE EXPERT ON STAFF. MAYBE IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE FOR US TO GET SOMEONE ON BOARD. SO NEAL, THE SITE AND OUR POLICE SERVICES UNDERNEATH A

LOT WORSE IS MANAGING THAT PROJECT. >> HE CAN GLADLY TAKE ANOTHER TWO SENTENCES IF HE'S. NEAL, ARE YOU ON? YES, SIR.

YOU DON'T TAKE A ANOTHER COUPLE MINUTES AND KIND OF DESCRIBE WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT OUR PLAN

OF ATTACK IS. >> SO AS JARED MENTIONED ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WE STARTED LOOKING AT OUR FLEET AND MAYBE RIGHT SIZING IT UP. SOME OF THIS RESEARCH STARTED CONDUCTED BY IN-HOUSE STAFF AND MYSELF A VERY COMMON THEME THAT KIND OF WE SAW WAS THE ELECTRIC ELECTRIFICATION OF VEHICLES BOTH THROUGH MUNICIPALITIES AND COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE US.

WE JUST STARTED TO SEE THAT BASED ON THIS ELECTRIFICATION IT WAS A VERY INVOLVED PROCESS AND WE DETERMINED THAT HE KIND OF NEEDED A CONSULTING THAT KIND OF NOTED WE IN JULY OF THIS YEAR WE PUT TOGETHER THE SCOPE FOR AN RF Q FOR ADVERTISE MEANT FOR THE ELECTRIC TRANSITION ASSESSMENT FOR CANDIDATES SUPPLIED AND THE DEADLINE FOR THAT ADVERTISING WAS END OF SEPTEMBER TOP THREE FIRMS WERE THEN KIND OF CHOSEN FOR INTERVIEWS.

THE INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED THIS PAST FRIDAY AND THEN THE FINAL SCORES.

MY OLD EVALUATORS ARE GOING TO BE SENT TO THE PERMANENT. >> SO WE HAVE TO HAVE A A

[00:50:08]

SELECTION AND THEN A RECOMMENDATION OF AWARD HOPEFULLY IN NOVEMBER.

PFC TELL YOU ABOUT THAT CONSULTANT AND JUST START WITH THAT PROCESS.

>> ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FOR JARED ON THAT ONE? WE WILL COME BACK PROBABLY A

MONTH. YES. >> QUICK.

WHAT IS THE FEELING OF THE COMMITTEE? ARE YOU LOOKING AT 25 PERCENT OF THE FLEET BE ELECTRIC OR ARE YOU LOOKING AT SETTING 5 PERCENT? IT WOULD BE FOR FOUR VEHICLES, SERVICE VEHICLES. SO ANYTHING LESS THAN A PICK A PICKUP TRUCK AND BELOW. SO OBVIOUSLY NOT THE LARGER VEHICLES.

I MEAN ONCE I THINK LONG TERM AS MANY OF THOSE AS WE CAN GET ELECTRIFIED THERE MAKE AN F 150 FOR LIGHTNING. SO I MEAN IF THAT MAKES SENSE FOR US TO LOOK ALL THE WAY DOWN TO OUR SMALLER SUV AND AND CARS SO AS MANY AND AS MUCH AS IT IT MAKES SENSE THAT SO WHETHER 25 PERCENT OR 75 PERCENT I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT ANSWER BUT AS MANY AS POSSIBLE.

>> OK, THANK YOU. EVERYBODY ELSE. NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM

[12. APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTS FOR THE ACCEPTANCE OF PROPERTIES ENCUMBERING THE ROAD RIGHT OF WAY FOR CRYSTAL BEACH LANE]

NUMBER TWELVE WHICH IS CRYSTAL BEACH LANE. THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE ROAD

RIGHT? YEP. >> SO AS YOU'RE AWARE, WE'VE BEEN WORKING THROUGH FOR VERY MANY YEARS NOW HAVING MANY DIRT ROADS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF ROADS THAT ARE CLASSIFIED AS LEGACY ROADS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING OUR RIGHT AWAY OFFICE. NORMALLY THEY WERE THRILLED ABOUT THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR FIVE YEAR PAVING LIST AHEAD OF THAT AS WELL AS ANY STORMWATER PROJECTS.

BUT IN WORKING WITH THE PROPERTY OWNERS PERFECT RIGHT AWAY.

SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE A INDIVIDUAL REACHED OUT TO US WHO LIVES ON CRYSTAL BEACH LANE WHICH IS OFA ALL JOY AND SAID HEY, WE'D LIKE PARTICULARLY INDEED THIS OVER TO THE COUNTY.

SO THIS THIS RESOLUTION IS TO TAKE CONTROL OF THAT PROPERTY. IT'S JUST FOR A SECTION OF THE ROAD THAT BELONGS TO THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNER. BUT WHEN SOMEBODY COMES ASKING FOR NORMALLY WE'RE ASKING THEM. SO THIS IS KIND OF A SHOCK TO US THAT SOMEBODY CAME TO US.

SO EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE NOT ON THE ROAD PAVEMENT LIST CURRENTLY WE THOUGHT IT WAS WORTHWHILE TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THAT COMPLETE TITLE TO THAT.

SO WHEN THE TIME COMES WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY.

SO THAT'S WHAT THIS IS REGARD TO AND GLADLY TAKE ANY QUESTIONS.

>> QUESTIONS IF NOT LOOK FOR A MOTION TO MAKE MOTION. MARTIN MAKE A MOTION.

MARIO YORK SECONDS. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? QUESTIONS IF NOT ANY OBJECTIONS

[13. APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF AN ACCESS AND UTILITY EASEMENT FOR A PORTION OF A RIGHT OF WAY OWNED BY BEAUFORT COUNTY KNOWN AS CASSIDY DRIVE OFF BUCKWALTER PARKWAY IN BULFFTON TOWNSHIP SOUTH CAROLINA]

. THIS STANDS APPROVED WITHOUT OBJECTION.

NEXT ITEM HAS TO DO WITH AN EASEMENT IN BLUFFTON TOWNSHIP. YES.

>> SO THIS IS THE EASEMENT I'M WORKING WITH BEFORE JASPER. THEY HAVE A WATER LAND PROJECT ASSOCIATED WITH SOME OF THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE OFFER CASSIDY DRIVE WHICH IS JUST OFF THE WATER PARKWAY. SO THIS IS A SMALL EASEMENT ACROSS CASSIDY DRIVE THAT WE WILL BE GRANTING FOR JASPER. ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? WE'LL GET APPROVAL.

THANK YOU, GERALD. SECOND, IT'S LIKE YOUR SECONDS FURTHER DISCUSSION.

[14. FOLLOW UP ON KING GEORGE ROAD PRIVATE ROAD ACCEPTANCE APPLICATION INTO COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM.]

ANY OBJECTIONS STANDS AND APPROVED AS WITHOUT OBJECTION. THAT BRINGS TO KING GEORGE

ROAD. >> KING GEORGE, THIS IS THE ROAD.

MISS CRUTCHFIELD JUST MENTIONED . SO THIS PROJECT CAME TO COMMITTEE ON AUGUST 16TH AND AT THAT MEETING COUNCIL REQUESTED OUR COMMITTEE REQUESTED THAT

THERE BE FURTHER RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION BY STAFF. >> SO WE'VE LOOKED INTO THE ROAD AS FAR AS THE OWNERSHIP AND WHO OWNS THAT AND WHAT SHOULD BE DONE.

SO I BELIEVE BRITNEY IS ONLINE IF SHE IS CHIEF, PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION.

BRITTANY, ARE YOU THERE? I THINK SHE MAY BE THE PHONE CALL.

>> BRITTANY. CAN YOU HEAR US? >> OK.
