[5. 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM Public Facilities Committee Discussion]

TODAY WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING THE PUBLIC FACILITIES COMMITTEE AND THEN THE WRAP AND I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, MR. GREENWAY. GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. GOT GOOD MORNING AND FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE BOTH HERE IN ATTENDANCE AND ON LINE. THIS IS THE THIRD AND FINAL DAY OF I WOULD TREAT WHETHER OR NOT WE DO A WRAP UP THIS AFTERNOON AFTER LAUNCH IS ENTIRELY UP TO THE CHAIRMAN'S OF THE VARIOUS SECTIONS AS WHETHER OR NOT YOU NEED TO SUMMARIZE OR IF WE FINISH EARLY THEN WE MIGHT DO

THAT BEFORE YOU GO TO LUNCH. >> BUT THIS MORNING YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM PROBABLY THE DIVISION WITH THE MOST RESPONSIBILITIES AND THE LARGEST INITIATIVES HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. THE REASON I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE GERRY AND FÉLIX IS HANDLING OR MANAGING DREW HIS STAFF AIRPORT EXPANSION 278 PATHWAY PROJECTS 1 CENT SALES TAX FACILITIES MASTER PLAN ALL OF THOSE BIG A NATION IS A LOT OF THOSE BIG INITIATIVES THAT WERE UNDERTAKEN THAT ARE GOING TO BE THE MOST COSTLY AND TIME CONSUMING AND THE MOST EFFORT A

LIE IN THIS DIVISION HERE. >> GERARD HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB MANAGING THAT.

HE HAS A LOT OF TALENT AS WE DO ACROSS OUR WORKFORCE HERE IN THE COUNTY.

>> YOU WILL HEAR FROM HIM SHORTLY AND HE WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH VARIOUS SECTIONS OF HIS

OF HIS ISSUES. >> ALSO ANOTHER BIG INITIATIVE THAT I MEANT FAILED TO MENTION THAT OCCURRED IS THE ENTERPRISE FOR SOLID WASTE IN THE SUSTAINABILITY ACCOUNTING

CAMPUS FOR FOUR SOLID WASTE AS WELL. >> SO BEFORE WE GET INTO THAT,

WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM ROB MARCHANT. >> HE'S GOING TO COME UP AND AGAIN TAUGHT YOU ALL ABOUT THE COMP PLAN AS IT RELATES TO THE ITEMS THAT WE MIGHT BE GOING OVER THE DAY. FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS WE WANT.

WE HAVE A GAME PLAN BUT WE ARE ALSO VERY FLEXIBLE AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO ADJUST TO YOUR CONCERNS AND DIRECTIONS. SO WHITNEY RANGELAND HAS BEEN TAKEN VERY GOOD NOTES WHERE WE'LL SEND THOSE OUT TO YOU ALL AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE RETREAT THINK SO THAT YOU ALL

WILL KNOW KIND OF WHAT THE DISCUSSION CENTERED AROUND. >> WE'LL GET THOSE TO YOU.

AND IF THERE IS ANY PRESENTATION THAT YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO HAVE WILL SEND THOSE OUT TO YOU AS WELL. SO YOU HAVEN'T SAID INTERVIEW. I WILL BRING UP ROB NOW.

HE'S GOING TO A LITTLE BIT AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO JARED WHO WE'LL DO THE VIDEO AND THEN

MOVE INTO HIS SECTION. WELL, GOOD MORNING. >> AND ONCE AGAIN, PLEASURE TO BE HERE. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN YOU KNOW, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER IS REALLY A ENFORCES A SHARED VISION FOR THE COUNTY AND LOOKS AT HOW MUCH WE'RE GOING TO GROW. YOU KNOW, AT FIRST IT LOOKS AT WHAT WE VALUED THE MOST IN THE COUNTY AND THEN RECOGNIZES THAT WE'RE IN A VERY DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE GROWING AND CHANGING THE FUTURE. AND WHAT STEPS DO WE NEED TO TAKE IN ORDER TO YOU KEEP THOSE THINGS THAT WE TREASURE AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GROWING INTO A BETTER PLACE? SO FUNDAMENTALLY ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT THE PLAN DOES IS THAT WE DO PROJECTIONS FOR GROWTH AND LOOK AT THINGS IN TERMS OF OUR NEEDS AND OUR

[00:05:03]

THE PLAN THAT REALLY ADDRESS THESE THINGS. >> ONE IN THIS IS CALLED MOBILITY. THAT'S JUST A FANCY NAME FOR TRANSPORTATION.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THIS PLAN DOES I THINK THAT KIND OF MOVES MORE IN A DIRECTION AWAY FROM SIMPLY LOOKING AT TRANSPORTATION AS A ROAD ISSUE. I THINK THAT WE RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS WE CONTINUE TO GROW. YOU KNOW, SIMPLY LOOKING AT ROAD WIDENING IS IT'S VERY

EXPENSIVE AND IT'S A CERTAIN POINT. >> IT'S LIMITING ESPECIALLY

GIVEN OUR GEOGRAPHY AND OUR BRIDGES. >> SO THIS CHAPTER REALLY OUTLINES THE STRATEGY TO KIND OF LOOK BEYOND THAT, RECOGNIZING THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE TO BUILD ROADS AND IMPROVE INTERSECTIONS IN ORDER TO GO THE NEXT LEVEL.

THIS IS GREAT. I STILL WISH THIS ON A WEDNESDAY.

BUT OUT THAT ONE OF THE MAIN STRATEGIES IN ADDITION TO BUILDING ROADS IS DIVERSIFYING

OUR TRANSPORTATION CHOICES. >> AND SO THIS THIS CHAPTER LOOKS A LOT AT OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORTATION, BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

WE'VE TOUCH ON FERRY AND WATER TRANSPORTATION. IN ADDITION, ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN COUNCIL WILL BE LOOKING AT THIS ON THE 11TH THIS IS BEING ADOPTED WITH AN APPENDIX WHICH IS THE BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN. WE WORK WITH THE MUNICIPALITIES AND ALSO WITH JASPER HARDY VILLE TO COME UP WITH A PLAN FOR A BI COMPREHENSIVE BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN. AND SO THAT'S ONE COMPONENT TO ,YOU KNOW, MAKING OURSELVES I GUESS MORE RESILIENT, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS OR YOU KNOW, BEING ABLE TO ADOPT TO TRANSPORTATION NEEDS. SO MOVING FORWARD WE'RE HOPING TO KIND OF CONTINUE TO MOVE IN

THAT DIRECTION. >> IN ADDITION, YOU KNOW, WORKING AT SOLVING TRANSPORTATION ISSUES THROUGH IMPROVING NETWORKS, I THINK THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE IMPROVEMENTS LADY SILENT THAT DOES JUST THAT WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT WIDENING THE INTERSECTION AND MAKING ALL THESE YOU KNOW, WE MEANT WE ADDED TURNING LANE BUT MOST OF THE TRANSPORTATION ISSUES WILL BE ADDRESSED THROUGH IMPROVING THE NETWORK, PROVIDING OTHER WAYS TO AVOID THE INTERSECTION WHICH IS CURRENTLY ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

AND THE OTHER CHAPTER I THINK WE'VE SPOKEN A LOT ABOUT COMMUNITY FACILITIES DURING THE RETREAT BUT SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE IS ARE THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS ISSUE OF RESILIENCE, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE PLANNING IN A FUTURE IDENTIFYING THOSE COUNTY FACILITIES THAT ARE MOST VULNERABLE TO FLOODING AND SEA LEVEL RISE AND MAKING SURE WE BUILD NEW FACILITIES IN THE FUTURE THAT WE'RE BUILDING THEM OUT OF HARM'S WAY AND WE'RE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT PROJECTED WATER LEVELS IN THE FUTURE IN

THAT KIND OF PERMEATES. >> I THINK WE SPOKE ABOUT EQUITY, YOU KNOW, AND ALSO MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE SITING FACILITIES IN A WAY THAT ENHANCES OUR COMMUNITIES.

I THINK WHEN WE LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, BLUFFTON BUILDING A NEW FIRE STATION, A NEW LIBRARY MAYBE THAT'S NOT THE BEST EXAMPLE. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THAT SITE BUT WHAT WAYS CAN OUR COUNTY FACILITIES REALLY ENHANCE EXISTING PLACES? YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THAT'S KIND OF AN EXAMPLE WHERE YOU HAVE A PUBLIC FACILITY IN A PARK AND AN ENTRANCE TO A COMMUNITY. BUT I WON'T GO INTO GREAT DETAIL BECAUSE I THINK WE HAVE A LONG AGENDA TODAY THAT YOU KNOW, I ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO READ THE PLAN AND YOU KNOW THESE SECTIONS AND HOW THEY ADDRESS HOW WE YOU KNOW, WE

DELIVER SERVICES AND PROVIDE FACILITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY. >> QUESTION SO MANY QUESTIONS.

>> OKAY. WE'LL MOVE ON WITH THE UNITS. YOU WON'T SEE THE MR. CHAIRMAN

TEAM. >> THEY WON'T GET LOCAL COUNCIL DECIDED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THE PRIDE IS IN ISSUES THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND HAVE PLANNED FOR THE UPCOMING YEARS INSIDE THE ENGINEERING DIVISION MOST OF WHICH WILL BE RUN INTO THE PUBLIC FACILITIES

COMMITTEE MAYBE. >> CALLS THAT YORK CHAIRMAN SPEAK?

[00:10:14]

WELCOME COUNSEL. >> I DECIDED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THE PRIDE IS THE INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND HAVE PLANNED FOR THE UPCOMING YEARS INSIDE THE ENGINEERING VISION LIST WHICH WILL BE RUN INTO THE PUBLIC FACILITIES.

MANY OF THE ITEMS THAT YOU WHAT YOU'RE UP THERE WITH LOCAL COUNCIL I'M EXCITED TO SHARE ALL THE PRIZES AND INITIATIVES THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND HAVE PLANNED FOR THE UPCOMING YEARS INSIDE THE ENGINEERING DIVISION MOST OF WHICH WILL BE RUN BY THE FACILITIES AND MANY OTHER ITEMS SET FORTH IN THE EARLIER RETREAT THIS YEAR OUR MAJOR

TASKS THAT ARE STILL ONGOING. >> HOWEVER, WE DID HAVE PRIDE IS PRESENT AS WELL AS A REMINDER THERE ARE SIX DEPARTMENTS INSIDE THE ENGINEERING DIVISION THAT INCLUDES SOLID WASTE PUBLIC WORKS, CAPITAL PROJECTS, OVERTIME

AS WELL. >> I'M EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THE PRIDE IS AN ISSUES THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON AND HAVE PLANNED FOR THE UPCOMING YEARS INSIDE ENGINEERING DIVISION MOST OF WHICH WILL BE RUN INTO THE PUBLIC HOSTILITIES COMMITTEE MEETING THAT I'VE SET FORTH IN THE EARLY RETREAT THIS YEAR. OUR MAJOR TASKS THAT ARE STILL ONGOING. HOWEVER WE DID HAVE A FEW NEW PROJECTS PRESENT AS WELL AS REMINDER THERE ARE SIX DEPARTMENTS INSIDE THE ENGINEERING DIVISION THAT INCLUDES SOLID LACE IT WORKS CAPITAL PROJECTS, FACILITIES MANAGEMENT, TRANSPORTATION AND AIRPORTS ALL THESE HUGE PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS THAT WE WERE WORKING INSIDE THE ENGINEERING DIVISION ALONG WITH ALL THE GREAT THINGS GOING ON IN THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS.

THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO SEPARATE ME FOR ME FROM ALL THE REST.

I'M EXCITED TO BE PART OF THE VISION SETTING AND STRATEGIC PLANNING TEAM AND LOOK FORWARD TO THE DIRECTION THAT COUNSELS TO ENSURE THAT EVERY COUNTY IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY FOR NOT ONLY THE NEXT FEW YEARS BUT FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

AS YOU KNOW OVER THIS PAST YEAR WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON A REALLY GOOD AND IMPORTANT PRIZE.

>> WE KNOW THESE PRIZE ARE MEANINGFUL AND WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

BOULDER AND EDWARDS CONNECT THE PRIORITIES AND DEFINE THE WHY BEHIND ALL OF IT.

A FEW MONTHS AGO WE HAD THAT AHA MOMENT THAT EXPLAINED WHY AND CONNECTED THIS COMMON THREAD. MOST OF THE PROJECTS WERE INITIATED TO EITHER IMPROVE SERVICES, GAIN EFFICIENCIES OR INVEST RESOURCES FOR THE OVERLAPPING GAME OF THE PRIZES THAT THEY WERE ALL INITIATED IN A STALLING MANNER TO USE THE BEST OF OUR RESOURCES AVAILABLE. WITH THAT IN MIND THE CONCEPT OF A SUSTAINABILITY PLAN WAS DEVELOPED. WE'VE COORDINATED WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THEY'RE LEADING THE EFFORT TO DEVELOP THIS HOLISTIC PLAN. THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A PLAYBOOK WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IN THE COMING YEARS. IN THE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN WILL BE THE PLAYBOOK ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO THE THINGS THAT WE SET OUT IN FRONT OF US.

THIS PLAN WILL REINFORCE THE INITIATIVES THAT ENSURE THAT COUNTY WILL REMAIN A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK. THERE'S NO BETTER DEPARTMENT THAT FULLY EMBODIES THE CONCEPTS OF SUSTAINABILITY PLAN THAN OUR SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT .

OUR GOAL IS TO CHANGE THE WAY WE VIEW OUR TRASH AS A COUNTY AND AS A REGION.

[00:15:01]

WE'VE MADE BIG STRIDES IN DEVELOPING OUR SUSTAINABILITY CAN THIS YEAR AND ARE ACTIVELY WORKING IN ESTABLISHING A SUITABLE SITE AND CONSTRUCTING OUR MATERIAL RECOVERY FACILITY.

IN ADDITION TO THE CANDIDATES WE'VE MADE SOME MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS THIS YEAR AND SUCCESSFULLY AND FULLY IMPLEMENTING THAT ECO SYSTEM AT OUR CONVENIENCE CENTERS AND CONVERTING OUR SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT INTO AN ENTERPRISE LINE IN ORDER TO PRIORITIZE OUR EFFORTS. IN OTHER WORDS DEPARTMENT WE'RE MAKING SOME SWEEPING CHANGES TO OUR COUNTY FLEET. OVER THE YEARS OUR FLEET HAS GROWN IN SIZE AND AGE.

WE'RE WORKING TO RIGHT SIZE OUR FLEETS BY EVALUATING OUR UTILIZATION RATES AND IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR VEHICLES BY DEVELOPING A LIFECYCLE CAPITAL REPLACEMENT PROGRAM.

AS WE REPLACE VEHICLES WE'LL BE LOOKING AT LITERATE BEHAVIOR OPPORTUNITIES.

IN ADDITION TO THE LETTER B GOALS, WE PLAN TO HIRE AN ELECTRIC CONSULTANT TO PLAN OUR NEEDED COUNTY CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL AS DEVELOP A PLAN TO HELP RIG OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY FOR THIS ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRANSITION. THE PRESIDENT THE UNITED STATES THAT IS SOME OF THE MAJOR CAR MANUFACTURERS ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

OUR PRIORITY FOR OUR NATION. THE WAVE HAS COME IN AND IN FRONT OF IT.

IN ADDITION TO SUSTAINABLE VEHICLES, THE STORMWATER UTILITY HAS HOSTED REGIONAL PROJECTS THAT ARE UNDERDEVELOPED AND LASTLY INSIDE OTHER WORKS.

I'M GLAD TO INFORM YOU THAT WE ARE 88 PERCENT COMPLETE WITH A TWO TO THREE YEAR AWB ACCREDITATION PROCESS FOR OUR PUBLIC WORKS. THIS IS THE GOLD STANDARD FOR OTHER WORDS PROFESSION AND THERE ARE ONLY THREE OTHER COUNTIES IN THE STATE WITH THIS DESIGNATION THE CAPITAL PRICE AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT'S ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO DEVELOP A PLAN OF ATTACK TO IMPLEMENT THE FACILITIES MASTER PLAN.

THEY'RE WORKING ON A FIRST PHASE THAT WILL INCLUDE A THREE YEAR PLAN THAT WILL PRIVATIZE SOME OF THE STANDALONE AND STRAIGHTFORWARD PROJECTS. FURTHER DISCUSSION AND INPUT FROM COUNCIL WILL BE REQUIRED TO DEVELOP A LONG TERM PLAN OF ATTACK TO IMPLEMENT ENTIRELY THE MASTER PLAN. ASSET PRICES INITIATED. WE WILL LOOK TO CONSOLIDATE DEPARTMENTS AND BUILD IN REDUCE OUR FACILITY COUNT AS WELL AS DESIGNED FACILITIES IN A SUSTAINABLE MANNER WITH THE MOST EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE.

ADDITIONALLY, UNDER CAPITAL PRODUCED IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR WE ADDED A NEW POSITION AS THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PRIVATE SCORE. THIS PERSON WILL WORK WITH ALL DEPARTMENTS AND ESPECIALLY THE BUDGET AND FINANCE DEPARTMENTS TO DEVELOP A COUNTYWIDE THREE YEAR CFP STAFF COMMITTEE WILL BE DEVELOPED TO WRITE THE PROJECT BASED OFF COUNCIL PRIORITIES AND AVAILABLE FUNDING. AS FAR AS TRANSPORTATION GOES, THERE'S GOING TO BE A PIVOTAL YEAR IN PLANNING FOR A LOCAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORK

IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS. >> WE HAVE MULTIPLE PLANS AND POTENTIAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE INTEND TO FIT TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT WE THE TRAFFIC ON OUR ROADWAYS DON'T DETRACT FROM THE PLACE WHERE WE LIVE AND PLAY.

NEVER IN MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER HAVE I SEEN A COUNTY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

THE MPO LONG RANGE PLAN AND THREE INCREDIBLE FUNDING SOURCES OF IMPACT A'S SALES TAX AND A FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE BILL ALL ALONG AT THE SAME TIME.

AS YOU HEARD ME MENTION BEFORE WE HAD OVER A BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF TRANSPORTATION INSERT INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS. WE HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY NOT ONLY TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE RIGHT PRICE IDENTIFIED AND PRIORITIZE BUT THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO DELIVER SUCH AN AUDACIOUS PROGRAM.

I THINK IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THE HIGHEST PRIORITY PROJECT OR AIRPORTS DEPARTMENT IS SUSPENSION OF OUR TERMINAL FACILITY AT HILTON HEAD AIRPORT.

WE HAVE PUSHED FORWARD THIS YEAR WITH THE DESIGN AND FIRMING OF A FACILITY NOT KNOWING FULLY BUT HAVING THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE THAT THE FUNDING WILL BE IN PLACE.

STAFF HAS WORKED TIRELESSLY BRAINSTORMING FUNDING IDEAS TO MEET THE 30 MILLION DOLLAR FUNDING GAP WE RESOLUTE IN THIS PURSUIT AND WE'LL BE BRINGING FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR COUNCILS CONSIDERATION IN COMING WEEKS. THIS YEAR EVEN DURING THE COURSE OF THE PANDEMIC WE'VE HAD OVER TWO AND A THOUSAND PASSENGERS FLAT THROUGH OUR EIGHTEEN THOUSAND SQUARE AIRPORT. THAT'S A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE FEAT. OUR DEBT IS THAT WE'LL HAVE THE PLANS FOR THE TERMINAL EXPANSION FINISHED BY THE 1ST THE NEXT YEAR WE'LL HAVE A PRIVATE VISIT THROUGHOUT THE SPRING AND WE READY TO START CONSTRUCTION ABOUT IN THE SUMMER PREPARING.

WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT AND FOR OUR REALLY GET STARTED. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS. I FEEL EXTREMELY BLESSED TO BE IN THE POSITION THAT I AS ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR OF ENGINEERING PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH.

I HAVE A LOT OF FUN DOING WHAT I DO AND I HEAR A LOT OF PEOPLE I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN THE ENGINEER DIVISION AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE'RE SUPER BUSY BUT IT'S NOT

[00:20:03]

OVERBEARING I PROMISE YOU. >> AND I THINK I THINK IT'S CONFUCIUS I MIGHT BE WRONG ON THIS BUT IF YOU CHOOSE A JOB THAT YOU LOVE TO DO, YOU'RE NEVER GONNA BE ABLE TO WORK

ANOTHER DAY OF YOUR LIFE. >> AND I FEEL LIKE THAT'S SOLELY A HUNDRED PERCENT.

AND SO AGAIN, I JUST APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY BE HERE TODAY. >> SO ONE THING AS I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS PRESENTATION THAT KEPT COMING MY AND I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHY BUT IT WAS MY FIRST TIME. WELL, ACTUALLY NOT THE FIRST DAY.

THAT WAS A REALLY BAD DAY. BUT MY FIRST DAY OF CLASS AT COLLEGE WHICH WAS STILL ANOTHER BAD DAY THE THIS BUT LOOK WHAT COMES TO MIND IS MY CALCULUS ONE PROFESSOR.

HIS NAME WAS DR. TROUTMAN AND HE WAS HE WAS KIND OF SHORT, STOCKY, PUFFY BROWN HAIR KIND

OF LIKE MARIO FIGURE. >> AND THE ACCENT AND I CAN HEAR HIM NOW SAYING MY NAME IS DR. TROUTMAN SYLLABUS IS ON THE WEB. LET'S GET STARTED.

SO WITH THAT NO DELAY. LET'S GET STARTED WITH WELL WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT TODAY IN COORDINATION WITH THE PSC CHAIRMAN COUNCILMAN ROTHMAN AND ALSO THE VISE CHAIRMAN,

COUNCILMAN GLOVER. >> WE DECIDED TO COVER BIG TOPICS TODAY.

>> SO WE HAVE SIX DEPARTMENTS WE'RE GOING TO COVER ONE TOPIC PER DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS ITS COUPLE ADDITIONAL. SO WE HAVE EIGHT TOPICS ALSO MASS TRANSIT AND THEN KIND

OF OVERNIGHT THERE AT THE END TO TALK ABOUT. >> SO AGAIN THIS IS THIS GONNA BE A HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CONTEST? WE'RE GOING TO KEEP PUNCHING AFTER WE DO WHEN WE'RE GONNA THROW ANOTHER ONE AT YOU. SO STAY TUNED.

I KNOW THIS IS DAY THREE OF A LONG JOURNEY. >> THIS IS THE FOURTH QUARTER BUT WE'RE GONNA STAY STRONG AND WE'RE GONNA MAKE SURE WE WE TAKE IT TO THE HOUSE IF WE

DON'T GET JOHN RIMBAUD HERE. >> SO HE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS JUST RAN A 21 MINUTE FIVE K AT THE AIRPORT HERE RECENTLY AND IS DEFINITELY IN SHAPE.

SO IF I SEE YOU GUYS THEY'RE DOWN AND NOT PAYING ATTENTION. PLEASE DON'T GET US UP YOUR AS AND CALISTHENICS START DOING A LITTLE PUSH UPS, JUMPING JACKS GET THAT HEART RATE GO ALSO JOHN DOESN'T LIKE. LET ME TELL BLAKE'S STORY ABOUT JOHN.

I THINK EVERYBODY WHO HAS KIDS REALIZE WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING WITH KIDS AND THEY'RE YOUNG AND YOU'RE PLAYING A GAME, YOU KNOW YOU KIND OF SKIRT THE RULES, LET THEM WIN THAT GAME.

>> BUT THEN AS THEY GREW YOU PLAY IN THAT SAME SPORTS GAME AND THEN WITHOUT KNOWING IT THEY BEAT YOU AND YOU'RE TRYING AND I THINK UNFORTUNATELY JOHN'S DEALING WITH THAT.

TWENTY ONE MINUTES. GREAT. BUT AT THIS RATE I BELIEVE IT WAS PACING AND A LITTLE BIT HARDER. SO HE'S HE'S DEALING WITH THAT . SO I'LL BE EASY ON JOHN TODAY. PRETTY TOUGH.

SO ANYHOW I SAID WE'LL GET EIGHT PROJECTS THE TOP EIGHT ITEMS TO TALK ABOUT.

>> THANKS TO DR. TROUTMAN. QUICK CALCULUS A PRIZE IS TWO HOURS, 15 MINUTES.

SO WE'RE GOING TO STAY ON TRACK WITH THAT. ADDITIONALLY, WE'RE GOING TO STAY HIGH LEVEL ORIENTED. SO FIVE MINUTES WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK A LOT.

WE'RE GOING MAKE SURE YOU GUYS TALK A LOT. WE'RE GOING TO GIVE FIVE, 10 MINUTES FOR EACH SUBJECT MATTER. AND AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T TALK,

I'LL BRING JOHN PIERCE TO GET YOU TO TALK. >> SO THE PRESENTATION.

>> SO THOSE EIGHT ITEMS YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO USE HERE AND THEY MAY HAVE FOR YOU OUT THERE AGAIN. LOOK AT THERE. DON'T DOUBT OVER THERE.

I DIDN'T SEE PAY PAID ITEMS AGAIN. AIRPORTS, MASS TRANSIT.

WE GOT A LITTLE COUNTRY REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY HERE TO TELL SOLID WASTE FACILITIES MASTER PLAN TRANSPORT STATION AND PUBLIC WORKS JUST ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND THEN LANDING MASTER PLAN AND THEN SOME TIME FOR SOME OPEN ENDED ITEMS AT THE END.

>> SO JOHN, IF YOU COME UP AS JOHN'S COMING UP, ONE THING I WANT YOU TO KNOW IS THAT INSIDE

ENGINEERING DIVISION, THE COUNTY AT LARGE WE AIM HIGH. >> AND WE'VE DREAMED BIG.

SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS THROUGHOUT THE PRESENTATIONS. >> I TELL OUR GROUP THAT WE DON'T EVER FAIL. WE JUST GET MORE EDUCATED AND GAIN MORE EXPERIENCE AS WE TACKLE OUR GOALS. SO AGAIN, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT BIG VISION STARTING RIGHT OFF THE TOP WITH AIRPORTS AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY AS WE AS THE PRESIDENT PRESENTERS

SPEAK SO JACK SYKES. >> I HAD NO ONE ELSE CAN BE DRAGGED THROUGH THE MUD ON THAT

FIVE K FINISHING AT A SHOUT OUT TO H.R. DEPARTMENT. >> THEY'VE GOTTEN EXCELLENT

COUNSELING PROGRAM AND I'M ON INTENSE STEP ON THAT. >> I'M FEELING PRETTY GOOD ABOUT THINGS SO TAKE IT EASY ON ME TODAY THE LITTLE GUY HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IS MY 13 YEAR OLD TOMMY AND HE JUST BRAND STATES OUT OF OUR SEA LEVEL LAST WEEKEND.

>> SO HE'S PRETTY QUICK. >> I MEAN NOT HAD STIFF COMPETITION.

[00:25:03]

>> SO NO FORGET ALL YOUR FAVORITE BRAINS OUT THERE. THAT IS A BIGGER NATIONAL HOLIDAY THAN ANY OTHER NATIONAL HOLIDAY. SO IF YOU'RE INUNDATED BY FACEBOOK AND THINGS LIKE THAT, IT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE.

SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THE MARINES OUT THERE. ALL RIGHT.

WELL, LET'S GET INTO THIS TALKING ABOUT THE AIRPORTS, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BACKDROP OF OUR SLIDES SHOWED SOME OF THE AIRCRAFT THAT WE HAVE COMING THROUGH OUR FACILITY. THAT'S A G4 COMING THROUGH ON THE PRIVATE SIDE.

>> SO WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT LIVE WORK PLAY AND I KNOW THAT'S KIND OF THE THEME OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF VISION 2040 AND I WANT TO PUT OUR VISION BACK UP THERE AGAIN SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IT IS PRETTY AUDACIOUS AND WE DO WANT TO BECOME THE MOST DESIRED

DESTINATION AIRPORT IN THE COUNTRY. >> THAT'S A BIG DEAL BUT WE

FOCUS EVERYTHING WE DO. >> AROUND THAT VISION IN OUR KEY WORDS THAT WE'RE FOCUSING

ON ARE OUT THERE TO RELEVANT MODERN AND SELF-SUFFICIENT. >> THOSE ALL GO BACK INTO THE

VISION 2040 AS WELL. >> BUT IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT ECONOMIC RESILIENCE, YOU KNOW, AND THAT THAT FITS IN WITH THE SELF-SUFFICIENCY WE. THAT'S NOT ONLY A GOAL BUT THAT'S A MANDATE BY THE FAA THAT WE NEED TO BE ECONOMICALLY SELF-SUFFICIENT AT THE AIRPORTS. SO WE STRIVE FOR THAT AS WELL. I MENTIONED THE COOPERATION IN THERE AND THAT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE OUR AIRPORTS BOTH AIRPORTS HAPPEN TO BE IN MULTI JURISDICTIONAL AREAS. SO WE'VE GOT THE CITY OF BEAUFORT BEFORE EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS COUNTY. AND THEN AT HILTON HEAD WE'VE GOT THE TOWN HILTON HEAD ISLAND AS WELL AS COUNTY. SO WE'RE CONSTANTLY COORDINATING BETWEEN DIFFERENT STAFFS. AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET ON LINE WITH THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT WE DEVELOP THE NEXT ROUND OF ORDINANCES SO THAT THEY KEEP IN MIND WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN NOT ONLY ON THE AIRPORT BUT OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT BECAUSE MANY TIMES PEOPLE FORGET TO

LOOK OUTSIDE THE FENCE LINE. >> LET'S SEE WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE A LITTLE BIT TODAY AS WELL. BUT A COUPLE JUST HIGHLIGHTS HERE I WANT TO TALK ABOUT OVER IT BEFORE EXECUTIVE REALLY TRYING TO FOCUS ON SOME HANGAR DEVELOPMENT OUT THERE AND WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO WE'RE ENTERTAINING PUBLIC PRIVATE VENTURES OUT THERE AND POTENTIALLY SOME SOME COUNTY FUNDED ACTIVITIES TOO. BUT THAT WILL STIMULATE SOME GROWTH THERE TO GREW TO SEE HAPPY'S THE HEARTBEAT IN THE BACKGROUND THAT YOU SEE THERE IS AN ACTUAL TRACKING SLIDE THAT WE DEVELOP AND THAT IS THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE GOING

THROUGH THE TURMOIL. >> SO YOU DON'T NEED TO FOCUS ON THAT BUT IT SHOWS YOU KIND

OF THE SEASONALITY. >> THAT'S ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF WORTH OF DATA.

>> YOU SEE THE HIGH POINTS ARE OBVIOUSLY THE SUMMER SEASONS BUT THE CIA PIECE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A FOCUS ON OUR RUNWAYS. SO WE TALKED ABOUT LIVE WORK PLAY.

>> WE WORK ON THE RUNWAYS BUT RUNWAYS ARE THE THEY'RE THE PLAYGROUND THAT'S THAT'S OUR

LIFEBLOOD. >> THAT'S THE REASON WE GET UP EVERY DAY.

THAT'S THE REASON WE COME TO WORK. SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A FOCUS

ON REHAB AND MAINTENANCE OF OUR RUNWAYS. >> SO THAT'S KIND OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AND WORK AND WE'RE GOING TO BRING THE TO PUBLIC FACILITIES ON THE 15TH JUST TO GET YOUR YOU'RE BUYING AND THEN WE SUBMIT TO THE FAA WITH THAT

AND THEN OVER A V4 EXECUTIVE. >> THIS AGAIN YOU'LL SEE A FOCUS ON THE RUNWAYS OUT THERE.

SO WE'VE GOT NOT ALWAYS SOME SAFETY PROJECTS TO DO AT BOTH ENDS OF THE RUNWAYS BUT THE RUNWAY ITSELF JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'VE GOT THAT GOOD SHAPE SPENT A LITTLE BIT BUSIER OUT THERE.

SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO KEEP THAT RIGHT ALONG. OKAY.

AND IN TERMS OF FUNDING, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS A BIT YESTERDAY.

SO I APOLOGIZE IF SOME OF THE INFORMATION HAS ACTUALLY UPDATED THIS WEEK.

THAT'S HOW DYNAMIC WE'VE IT'S BEEN AT THE AIRPORT. BUT I DO WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE TIME YESTERDAY TO BRIEF THE PROGRAM AND ALLOW CARL AND COME UP AND SPEAK AS WELL. WE'VE ALREADY STARTED TO ENGAGE OUR OUR FINANCIAL OF THEM RIGHT AFTER THE MEETING WE'RE ON A CALL WITH THEM. CHARLOTTE AND WE'RE STARTING TO PLAN OUT SOME MEETINGS OR TO ARRANGE THE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS WITH THE AIRLINES TO WORK ON THE NEGOTIATIONS FOR THAT AGREEMENT. BUT THAT'S A GREAT WAY TO MOVE THE VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT FORWARD WITHOUT NECESSARILY HAVING TO WAIT ON ENTITIES THAT

WE DON'T CONTROL. >> NOW ALL OF THAT WORK CAN STILL TAKE PLACE AND PROBABLY SHOULD STILL TAKE PLACE. BUT WE CAN CONTINUE TO MOVE THAT VERY IMPORTANT PROJECT

FORWARD AND THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO. >> AND THEN I TALK ABOUT SOME FUTURE PROJECTS THERE AND I WANT TO KEEP KIND OF KEY IN ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE THAT TIES IN WITH STRATEGY FOR FROM DIVISION 2040 AND THAT TALKS ABOUT PUTTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND THAT'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE AIRPORTS

. >> I WAS JUST TALKING WITH A PLANNER WHO'S WORKING WITH TOWN IN HILTON HEAD. IT'S OUTSIDE CONSULTANT AND THEY WERE INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT MULTIFAMILY POSSIBILITY TOO CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT. AND I SAID YOU ABSOLUTELY

[00:30:07]

>> SO THAT JUST MEANS WE'VE GOT TO DO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND WE'VE WE'VE GOT TO LOOK AT ZONING AND LAND USE COMPATIBLE LAND USE OUTSIDE THE AIRPORT CONFINES AND JUST MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING TIES TOGETHER PROPERLY AS THE FUTURE GOES ON .

>> THAT'S REALLY ALL I'VE GOT TO PRESENT TODAY ON THE SLIDES. I BELIEVE SO I WILL BE HERE FOR

ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE ONLINE? >> MR. GLOVER? YES, SIR. LET ME. I SAW YOU TALK ABOUT WETLAND MITIGATION. THE ONLY ZONE. ARE YOU LOOKING AT EXPLAINING ONE WAY OR IS THAT JUST SOMETHING THAT THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION AND A REASON ASKING THE QUESTION BECAUSE THERE ARE FOLKS ON GATHERED KIND OF CONCERNED ABOUT HEAVY AIRPLANES COMING LADIES OUT AND AN THAT SOME WITH THAT WE MAY BE PLANNING FOR THE WETLANDS MITIGATION THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WILL ENABLE US TO COMPLETE SOME MANDATED FAA

SAFETY PROJECTS. >> OK. AND THEN THAT DEALS WITH THE SAFETY AREAS AT EITHER END OF THE RUNWAY THAT. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE OVER THAT OVER TIME THE FAA CHANGES STANDARDS. YOU KNOW, IMPROVE SAFETY STANDARDS AND THAT'S FINE. SO KIND OF UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF WHERE THE AIRPORT IS LOCATED WE DO HAVE SALTWATER WETLANDS AT BOTH ENDS. SO WE WILL HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT MITIGATION TO DO SO THAT WE CAN FINISH SAFETY PROJECTS OUT THERE.

>> NO NEED TO SAY SO. I KNOW YOU'RE DOING IT BUT KNOW DON'T FORGET TO BE LOVED THE SELLING HAMMERS AND ETC. ETC.. I KNOW YOU'RE DOING YEAH I'M SORRY I SAID THAT AGAINST HER WITH HAMMERS. I MEAN THE MAIN IS THAT WAS HANGERS.

YEAH. YOU KNOW THIS CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARD BRINGING THOSE THINGS OUT. YES SIR. ARE YOU WINGING IT? BUT I NEED TO SEE THAT WE HAD A WE HAD A MEETING YESTERDAY WITH OUR CONSULTING TEAM TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT AND AS WE ENGAGE THAT SAME FINANCIAL CONSULTANT, WE'RE GOING TO

SPEAK WITH THEM ABOUT HOW WE BRING THAT TO FRUITION. >> WE'VE GOT A LOT OF INTEREST OUT THERE SO WE AND WE JUST FINISHED UP A PROJECT OUT THERE THAT WILL FREE UP A LITTLE BIT LAND THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY USED AS IT AS A SEPTIC GREENFIELD AND REPLACEMENT GREENFIELD.

AND WE'RE WE'RE NOW ON A B FOR JASPER TOUR. >> SO THAT'S GOING TO FREE UP A LITTLE BIT OF DEVELOPMENT AREA FOREST WHICH WOULD BE NICE. THANK YOU, JOHN.

THE RUNWAY IS THE RUNWAY STATE HERE IS THIS IS WHERE YOU'RE GOING HEAR THIS AS AIRPLANES AND A LOT OF THINGS WE DO WE SPEND A LOT OF MONEY WHICH MEANS WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. YOU'VE GOT TO PRIORITIZE. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY WORDS INTO THE LIFE OF THIS AIRPORT IS AIRPORT OBVIOUSLY IT'S MUCH DIFFERENT THAN HILTON OR BUT THERE'S A MANDATE OUT THERE BY FAA THAT WE GROUP GOOD THESE RUNWAYS THIS YEAR HAS MORE TO DO THAT THESE GUYS THESE IMPROVEMENTS ON EITHER END IS NOT SPINNING AND THIS AS A REAL BIG COST. THIS IS A SMALL AIRPORT. WE GET A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUNDING FROM THE FAA FOR AND FROM THIS DAY AND NOT MISSION BUT THIS IS A SIX, EIGHT, 10 MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT IN MITIGATION THAT HAS TO BE DONE IF IT DOESN'T GET DONE IN A TIMELY THE POSITION THAT WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN. THEY SAID OK, THIS HAS TO BE DONE. IT HAS TO OWN BECAUSE THE PERMITTING REQUIREMENTS AND THEN THEY TRY TO SHORTEN THE RUNWAY THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD JUST BE A BIG GAP.

SO WE HAVE THESE ARE BIG NUMBERS ON IT THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT NOTHING BUT JUST RECOGNIZE THAT THESE ARE GOING TO BE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO RATING COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AND PRIORITIZING . BUT THAT'S A BIG NUMBER ONE,

MAKE SURE WE HAVE OH YEAH. >> JOE JUST TO REMIND TOMMY THAT THE MEN'S WORLD RECORD FOR THE FIVE K IS TWELVE THIRTY SIX. I'M GOING TO ADD THAT WE'LL BE

WATCHING HIS PROGRESS MANY OTHERS. >> OKAY.

JOHN, THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE MORE QUESTIONS IN THAT BEFORE WE LET

YOU OFF EASY ON THE FIRST ONE. >> WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT TERMINALS.

I'LL GIVE YOU THAT PASS. ALL RIGHT. NEXT IT IS MASS TRANSIT AND WE HAVE TODAY WITH US MAINLY FRANCE, ZUNI FRIEND ZONE EXCUSE ME THE DIRECTOR OF THE LOWCOUNTRY REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY TO TALK ABOUT MASS TRANSIT.

>> AND EVEN THOUGH MASS TRANSIT OBVIOUSLY IS NOT AT THE COUNTY DEPARTMENT, IT IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO US. THEY ARE GREAT REGIONAL PARTNER .

WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM OVER THE PAST AND EXPECT VERY MANY DISCUSSIONS IN THE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO WE THOUGHT IT WAS FITTING AND APPROPRIATE THAT INCOME.

>> TELL US WHAT THEY HAVE ON THE HORIZON OVER NEXT YEAR IN THE YEARS TO COME.

AS FAR AS MASS TRANSIT IN THE AREA IS CONCERNED. >> SO WE DID THANK YOU FOR

[00:35:10]

OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION. >> I'M JUST GOING TO A BRIEF HISTORY. I WANT TO TRY TO STAY WITHIN MY TIME LIMIT THE PERMIT A BREEZE WAS STARTED AS A FOR JASPER TRANSIT AUTHORITY IN 1978. THE ORIGINAL MISSION WAS TO BRING FOLKS FROM THOSE TWO COUNTIES TO HILTON HEAD TO WORK.

THAT'S STILL A LOT A LARGE PART OF OUR MISSION BUT IT'S NOW A FIVE COUNTY AUTHORITY ARE WE WERE A RURAL TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE FIRST GRANTS WE RECEIVED ON THE URBAN SIDE IN 2017 18 AND THAT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT BECAUSE OUR MISSION WAS WAS A LOT

SMALLER. >> WE BROUGHT PEOPLE TO WORK. THAT'S WHAT WE DID.

WE OPERATED IN THE RURAL AREA AND AT THIS POINT IN TIME THE NORTH THE AREA IS STILL CONSIDERED RURAL AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO STAY THAT WAY. AND SO THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SAY NOW IN BLUFFTON AND HILTON HEAD WE'RE CONSIDERED AN URBANIZED AREA SMALL URBANIZED AREA AND WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE RESULTS OF THE 2020 CENSUS BUT THAT MAY STRETCH OUR AREA REALLY BIGGER. AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT ABOUT THAT IS WE GET URBAN MONEY IN IN THERE'S MORE URBAN MONEY AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORTATION AND A CASE IN POINT IS OUR HILTON HEAD TROLLEY SERVICE. WE STARTED THE FIRST YEAR EIGHT THOUSAND RIDERS, 11000 RIDERS, 15000 RIDERS THIS YEAR WE HAD FIFTY TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE RODE TO TROLLEYS AND THAT JUST SHOWS THAT IF YOU THINK ABOUT EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE GETTING A CAR OR MAYBE TWO OF THEM GETTING IN A CAR AND GOING SOMEWHERE, IT'S REALLY SIGNIFICANT THAT WE CAN REDUCE THE THE NUMBER OF CARS ON THE ROAD AND IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF OUR ROADWAYS.

>> HERE'S THE FOUR THINGS THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT. >> THE VERY FIRST THING IS A DEDICATED SOURCE OF LOCAL FUNDS AND I'LL JUST GO RIGHT INTO THAT.

>> SO I BELIEVE THE COUNTY COUNTY COUNCIL HAS HEARD ME TALK ABOUT FUNDING BUT I WANT TO GIVE A BIG OVERALL PICTURE OF IT AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE TOP BOX THAT WE'RE NOW AT ABOUT

FOUR AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS . >> THE URBAN PROGRAM IS LOWER THAN THE RURAL PROGRAM AT THIS TIME BUT THERE IS MORE MONEY AND WE ARE LIMITED WHEN THERE'S GRANTS OUT THERE AND PEOPLE WILL SAY TO ME WELL YOU CAN YOU GET A GRANT FOR THAT OR MAYBE

YOU CAN GO GET A GRANT FOR THIS. >> EVERY GRANT I GET HAS TO HAVE LOCAL MATCH MONEY AND WE STRUGGLE WITH LOCAL MATCH MONEY.

>> I HAVE TO GO AROUND EVERY COUNTY COUNCIL PLEASE GIVE ME THE MONEY YOU CAN SEE ON THE RURAL SIDE THIS IS FOR THIS PAST YEAR. I MEAN WE DID BETTER THIS YEAR PROBABLY THAN WE'VE DONE IN A MANY YEARS BUT DIFFERENT COUNTIES FOR DIFFERENT REASONS FUNDED DIFFERENTLY AND YOU COULD SEE UP THERE ALLENDALE COUNTY DIDN'T HAVE NOT AS OF YET COMMITTED TO ANY FUNDING FOR THIS YEAR. THEY FUNDED US IN THE PAST.

SO THEY'RE STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW SO YOU CAN SEE THAT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS SHORTFALL THE RURAL SIDE. WELL, I'VE BEEN HERE SEVEN YEARS. EVERY YEAR WE'VE HAD A SHORTFALL AND I'M GOING TO SAY IF IT WASN'T FOR CARES THAT COMING ALONG WE WOULD HAVE THOSE QUICK RUN IN SERVICE OR CALL AN EMERGENCY MEETING WE GOT DOWN TO A VERY LITTLE BIT OF MONEY LEFT AND IT'S NO PLACE TO BE FOR A PROVIDER OF TRANSPORTATION A SOLUTION FOR OUR TRAFFIC CONGESTION.

>> SO WHAT I WANTED TO SAY WAS WHEN YOU LOOK AT ROBUST TRANSIT SYSTEMS LIKE QANA AND CHARLESTON COMMON IN COLOMBIA, THE CAT SYSTEM IN SAVANNAH COAST IN MYRTLE BEACH, THEY ALL HAVE DEDICATED FUNDING SOURCES SO THEREFORE THEY HAVE A TRANSPORTATION ENTERPRISE FUND

AND IT'S FED WHATEVER WAY THAT CAN HAPPEN. >> A LOT OF TIMES IT'S SALES TAX. SOMETIMES IT CAN BE PROPERTY TAX.

BUT WHATEVER IT IS IT FUNDS THE TRANSIT SYSTEM AND THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT A FIVE YEAR PLAN OR A 10 YEAR PLAN AND KNOW WHAT OUR FUNDING IS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

>> WE CAN'T GROW REALLY FAST BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE TO HIRE EMPLOYEES AND GET NEW VEHICLES AND DO THAT KIND OF THING. BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S HARD FOR US TO JUST KEEP UP WITH WHAT WE'VE ALREADY COMMITTED TO AND EVERY YEAR AT BUDGET TIME I GO AROUND TO TRY TO GET FUNDS AND IT'S STRESSFUL. DID THE THING WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS IT WAS THE AIRPORT THIS YEAR WAS A REALLY DIFFERENT KIND OF YEAR AND WE'VE GOT A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR

TRANSPORTATION TO IT FROM THE AIRPORT. >> WE DO AN ON DEMAND SERVICE BUT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF VEHICLES AND WE DIDN'T EVEN COME CLOSE TO GETTING PEOPLE TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT. WE WERE ASKED AT SOME POINT MAYBE IN AUGUST FROM THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD IF WE WOULD LOOK AT RUNNING A SERVICE TO THE AIRPORT.

AND YOU KNOW, WHEN I LOOK AT THAT AND YOU LOOK AT THE PEOPLE COMING TO HILTON HEAD AND IF THEY COULD FLY INTO THE AIRPORT WHICH THEY'RE DOING NOW AND NOT RENT A CAR AT ALL BS I THINK

RENTAL CARS ARE GOING IN SHORT SUPPLY AGAIN THIS NEXT YEAR. >> THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY TO

[00:40:03]

>> WE HAVE THE TROLLEYS RUNNING THROUGH HILTON HEAD HOW MANY VISITORS COULD COME AND NOT

EVEN GET A CAR IN? >> YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ARE LOOKING AT HOW TO SAVE MONEY AND SO I THINK THIS IS SUCH A WIN. THE OTHER THING THAT IS VERY TIMELY IS WHAT I HAVE THREE OF THE LARGE GREEN BUSES THAT WE USED IN THE URBAN AREA THAT GOT A DELAY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CHIPS TO BUILD UP AND ALL THAT WALL I JUST GOT TOLD THE CHANCES ARE IN AND THEY'RE BUILDING THEM THEY'RE GOING ON LINE THE END OF THE MONTH. AND I CAN HAVE LUGGAGE TRACKS PUT IN THOSE BUSES. NO ADDITIONAL COST, JUST RETROFIT THEM.

IT SEEMS LIKE ALL THE PIECES ARE COMING TOGETHER. IN ADDITION, SPEAKING WITH GERARD WE'VE PUT TOGETHER AN RFP FOR PLANNING SERVICES TO HAVE A CONSULTANT COME IN AND DEVELOP THE PLANS FOR ROUTES AND SCHEDULES AND BUS STOPS FOR THE AIRPORT SERVICE AND

OF COURSE ALL OVERSEAS YOU KNOW WHAT WE COME UP WITH BUT. >> BUT WE COULD DO THAT AND HAVE IT READY FOR NEXT YEAR AND SO THAT TO ME IS OUR VERY NEXT THING TO DO.

SO I COSTED OUT IF IF WE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE GRANT FUNDING AVAILABLE BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES GRANT FUNDING COMES LATER AS YOU GROW THEN THE MONEY COMES AFTER THAT.

>> SO THE TOTAL COST TO OPERATE THAT WOULD BE AROUND A HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND ON THE SLIDE AND IF WE GOT GRANT FUNDING IT PAYS 50 PERCENT OF OUR OPERATING SO THAT WOULD BE EIGHTY THOUSAND HAVE THE VEHICLES ALREADY READY AND I BELIEVE WE CAN START THAT FAIRLY WELL FOR NEXT SUMMER.

THIS IS PART OF OUR MASTER PLAN THAT WE DID WHEN WE FIRST GOT OUR URBAN MONEY TO TO LOOK AT

THE WHOLE AREA. >> WE HAD CONSULTANTS COME IN AND THEY MET WITH THE COMMUNITY COME UP WITH THE DIFFERENT PLANS OF HOW WE MOVE FORWARD AS A URBAN TRANSIT PROVIDER AND THIS CONCEPT IS VERY VIABLE AND WHAT IT IS IT'S ACROSS THE BRIDGE CONNECTOR AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS GET PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS AND GOING ON TO HILTON HEAD IN IT.

>> WE NEED A PARK AND RIDE LOT FOR THAT A PARK AND RIDE LOT IN BLUFFTON.

>> I'M TRYING TO DO SOMETHING WITH SOME LAND UNDER THE POWER LINES AND I DIDN'T GET VERY FAR. IT STILL MAY BE A POSSIBILITY. SANTEE COOPER I COULDN'T I COULDN'T GET ANYBODY COOPERATE . THE CDO T DOUG FRIED IT SIDOTI SAID THAT THEY WOULD FUND THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A LOCAL MATCH OR THEY'D FUNDED 100 HUNDRED PERCENT BUT IF I FOUND LAND THAT THE SC DOTY WOULD BUILD A PARKING LOT.

SO I NEED HELP IF WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY DO THAT. BUT I HAVE A LOT OF IDEAS OF HOW TO DO THE CIRCLE PART WHICH IS KIND OF THE MICRO TRANSIT AND IT'S AN ON DEMAND SERVICE PRETTY MUCH IT WOULDN'T CUT INTO TAXICABS OR EVEN LYFT OR UBER IT WOULD BE REGULAR WORKERS THAT WOULD SET UP A SCHEDULE IN ADVANCE AND WHEN THEY GOT OVER TO HILTON HEAD WHICH WOULD BE ANOTHER PARKING AREA THEN WE WOULD TAKE THEM RIGHT TO THEIR WORKPLACE.

SO I THINK IT WOULD WORK WE WOULD DO A GUARANTEED RIDE HOME SO NO ONE FEELS LIKE I CAN'T

GET HOME IF THE BUSES AREN'T RUNNING IN THE MIDDAY. >> SO.

SO THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WE'D LIKE TO DO IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS.

WE HAD A RETREAT AND WE HAD A CONSULTANT COME IN AND HE WENT OVER OUR HISTORY OF WHO WE WERE ALL THE YEARS AND WHERE WE'RE GOING AND IT BECAME VERY EVIDENT TO US THAT WE'RE CHANGING AND THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PRIMARILY AN URBAN PROVIDER AS HILTON HEAD AND BLUFFTON EXPAND THERE. THERE'S NOT ANY ABILITY TO BUILD A LOT MORE ROADS IN THAT AREA AND WE'VE GOT TO GET PEOPLE TO THINK DIFFERENT MODES IN DIFFERENT WAYS OF TRANSPORTATION. AND SO I THINK OUR FUTURE IS THAT WE BUILD ROBUST PUBLIC

TRANSIT IN THE URBANIZED AREA AND THAT'S IT. >> ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? DID MISS HOWARD A GREAT PRESENTATION AND I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY WE DON'T HAVE HLA LINES FOR THE BUSES HILTON IN COMING BACK TO NEW ORLEANS BEFORE COUNTING BECAUSE YOU SEE THEM STOPPED IN THE TRAFFIC JUST LIKE EVERYBODY KNOWS. BUT MAYBE THAT'S TO COME MAYBE ASK A QUESTION MORE FOR LATER. WHAT DO YOU KNOW YET IF COUNTY WILL BE AN URBAN I DO NOT KNOW AND THERE WAS ONE MORE THING I FORGOT AND THAT IS PART OF WHAT WE ALSO WANT TO DO IS DEVELOP NORTH OF THE BROAD SERVICES AND RIGHT NOW THE WAY IT'S SET UP BECAUSE WE WERE SO RURAL AND WE'RE IN BLUFFTON IS ALL THE DRIVERS THAT DRIVE IN BEAUFORT TAKE THEIR BUSES.

>> THIS IS KIND OF PROBLEMATIC IF SOMEBODY'S SICK OR WE NEED A PASTOR.

WE GOT TO GO TO THEIR HOUSES AND GET THEM AND IT REALLY IS NOT REAL PROFESSIONAL AND WE WOULD LIKE THAT WAS THE OTHER REQUEST. I HAD SOME LAND OR SOME PARCEL WITH BEAUFORT ON TWENTY ONE WOULD BE PERFECT AND THERE'S PROBABLY ROOM AT SHANKLIN ROAD . IT'S A LITTLE FAR OUT MEANING THAT EVERY IF THEY HAD TO REPORT THERE THEN YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM FOR THEIR DRIVE TIME. SO YOU WANT TO BE KIND OF IN

[00:45:04]

QUESTION. >> GO AHEAD. I'VE SEEN THE USA BE PLAYING THE SAME FRANCHISE ON ONE OF THEM. ARE YOU COORDINATING WITH TCO AND YOU ACP FOR STUDENTS SINCE YOU'VE GOT THE SPLIT CAMPUSES? THE USCCB BUS IS RUNNING AS A

PUBLIC TRANSIT BUS. >> WE HAVE A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH THEM AND SO THEY ARE CARRYING THE COST OF THAT. IT'S OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND THE SCHEDULES ARE PUBLISHED SO TCO COULD ALSO USE IT. BUT WE DID THAT WITH AGREEMENT WITH THEM. THEY PAID TO WRAP THE BUS AND IT'S WORKING OUT REALLY WELL.

AND WE GO TO ALL THREE CAMPUSES AS BEAUFORT BLUFFTON HILTON. THANK YOU.

ANYONE ELSE? >> YEAH. A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.

THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US TODAY. ONE WHEN WE WERE CHATTING ABOUT THE HIGH SPEED OR THE SPECIAL LANES, MARY LOU MENTIONED THAT IN MANY CITIES THE BUSES ARE ALLOWED TO USE THE BREAKDOWN LANES AND THE NEW BRIDGES TO BE DESIGNED WITH BREAKDOWN LANES.

AND SO THAT SEEMS LIKE A NATURAL AND AS WE GO FORWARD. >> SECONDLY, I WOULDN'T GIVE UP ON THE PARK AND RIDE. I THINK THAT'S ERIC WORTHY OF SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT WHETHER WE COULD BECAUSE DEO T WANTS TO DO MASS TRANSPORTATION.

IT AFFECTS THE MULTI COUNTIES, IT AFFECTS THE MUNICIPALITIES, EVERYBODY.

IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THE PARKING UNDER THE POWERLINES WOULD BE THE LOW HANGING FRUIT.

UNLESS THERE'S SOME ISSUES THERE BECAUSE THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF THAT SPACE I ASSUME THERE'S ENOUGH SPACE AND IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME WITH SANTEE COOPER THAT MAYBE THAT

WOULDN'T HAPPEN. >> I WORKED ON IT FOR SIX MONTHS AND COULDN'T GET ANYBODY TO TALK TO ME. I WAS GONNA GO CAMP IN THEIR OFFICE BUT OTHER OTHER

PRIORITIES CAME UP AND I MOVED ON. >> WELL, IF ERIC KNOWS SAM BENNETT WHO WE GET, WE DIDN'T MAKE THAT HAPPEN. HOW HOW MANY ARE GONNA SUPPORT TAKE? DO YOU THINK I WOULD TAKE ANYTHING I COULD GET BUT 100 SPOTS WOULD BE GREAT. IT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING AT IS BURNT CHURCH ROAD NORTH OF WHAT USED TO BE WELL USED TO BE THE PIGGLY WIGGLY AND THEN THE BI-LO BUT IT'S PLANET FITNESS LIKE NORTH THERE THERE'S A BIG SECTION OF THE POWER LINE. YEAH I THINK A LITTLE BIGGER

THAN THE HUNDRED THOUGH. >> WELL THAT'S THE BIGGEST I CAN GET IT.

WE COULD USE IT. AND PART OF WHAT SC DEFINITELY DOES WHEN THEY BUILD OUT AN FTA AS WELL AS WE LIGHT IT REALLY WELL IT'S FENCED AND IT HAS SECURITY CAMERAS SO THEY'RE PRETTY SECURE. THE DOORS ARE OPEN THOUGH. SO YOU KNOW YOU BUT WE CAN

VIDEO EVERYTHING AND. >> YEAH IT COULD EVEN WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE LET'S SAY CONTRACTORS THAT ARE COMING THAT HAVE TO BRING THEIR TRUCK BUT THEY COULD ALSO PICK UP THEIR OTHER FOLKS AT THE SAME TIME A THIRD POINT I WOULD MAKE.

>> I THOUGHT YOUR COMMENT ON THE AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION PIECE WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE IF I THINK ABOUT TWO OF THE LARGER GROUPS HERE YOU HAVE THE BUSSES FROM THE OUTLYING AREAS THAT ARE TYPICALLY EARLY IN THE MORNING AND LATE IN THE DAY AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE OBSERVE THIS SUMMER WAS THAT THE BIG SPIKE IN THE TOURIST AT THE AIRPORTS WERE REALLY KIND OF IN THE 10:00 O'CLOCK FOUR O'CLOCK TIMEFRAME. SO THERE'S ACTUALLY KIND OF A NICE FIT IN TERMS OF EQUIPMENT UTILIZATION AND I GUESS LASTLY THIS IS KIND OF A QUESTION FOR US. BUT I THINK THE HAVING THE MORE DEDICATED FUNDING MAKES SOME SENSE. YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES IN THE PAST WE'VE TAKEN SOME THINGS LIKE USCCB AND TCO AND THE SOLID WASTE AND MADE IT A FLAT MILL SO THEY COULD GROW WITH THE WITH THE POPULATION WHERE WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT HAVE TOO MANY ITEMS ON THE TAX BILL.

BUT THIS IS ONE THAT MAY MAKE SOME SENSE AND I THINK ERIC I THINK THIS IS ONE THAT LENDS ITSELF TO LOOK AT BEFORE WE GET TO THE BUDGET PROCESS AND NOT TRY TO SORT IT OUT WHEN WE GET THERE. BUT HOWEVER WE DO IT, IT DOES SEEM TO ME THAT IT MAY BE TIME TO ADDRESS THE PERMANENT FUNDING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> YOU'RE DOING. ANY OTHER COMMENTS ANY COMMENTS FROM ANYBODY ONLINE? GERALD YES. IF I MIGHT ASK HOW MANY BUSES DO YOU HAVE RUN IN THE COUNTY? CURRENTLY HE'S ASKING HOW MANY BUSES YOU HAVE IN NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY RUNNING ON A DAILY BASIS. WE HAVE ONE COMMUTER BUS THAT COMES OVER AND BACK EVERY DAY.

>> AND I WOULD SAY WE HAVE THREE OTHER DEMAND RESPONSE ROUTES THAT RUN AND THEN WE HAVE TWO MORE THAT ARE JUST WE CALL COORDINATED BUT THEY'RE THERE ON DEMAND AND THEY GO

[00:50:01]

SAY A MONTH OR SO AGO? >> WE JUST GOT RID OF ALL FOUR FOSSILS IN THE LOWER PART OF THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY AND I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO UTILIZE SOME OF THOSE PROPERTIES BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO BRIDGE NOW.

>> YOUR KID IS MR. GLOVER. YES. ANY CONVERSATION WITH THE STATE DEALING WITH HONEY ISLAND STATE PARK GIVING TRANSPORTATION BACK AND FORTH BECAUSE OF THE HURRICANE AND IN MY OFFICE. SO PRIOR TO HURRICANE MATTHEW WE HAD DISCUSSIONS BECAUSE THEY WERE OVERFULL AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO LIST THE PARK REVENUE AND SO WE MADE A PLAN TO DO A SHUTTLE SERVICE AND HAD IT ALL MAPPED OUT AND HAD A DRIVER READY AND IT RAINED THE NEXT

THREE WEEKENDS AND THEN WE DIDN'T USE. >> SO AFTER MATTHEW TOOK AWAY THE PARKING AREA WE MET AGAIN AND WENT OUT TO HUNTING ISLAND. I ACTUALLY SAW IT WHEN IT WAS

REALLY IN DISREPAIR. >> IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. BUT WE AGAIN AGREED THAT WE WOULD DO THE SHUTTLES AND THEY DID NOT CALL US TO DO THEM. BUT I'M OPEN AND WILLING.

I PLANNED A ROUTE. WE HAD A PLACE TO PARK. IT MAY BE DIFFERENT NOW.

THEY WERE GOING TO IMPROVE THE BACK ROAD THAT COME STRAIGHT INTO THE LIGHTHOUSE.

>> AND IN STAGE SOMEBODY THERE SO OTHER CARS COULDN'T COME. BUT I'M MORE THAN WILLING BECAUSE DRIVERS AND BUSES STAGED BEAUFORT. IT'D BE VERY EASY FOR US TO DO THAT ON THE WEEKEND. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

KIM ALL RIGHT. WE'RE DOING GOOD ON TIME SO KEEP ON PRESSING ON.

THE NEXT ONE IS SOLID WASTE. SO CINDY CARTER, SHE PRY THE ONLY PERSON IN THE COUNTY THAT TALKS TRASH ON A DAILY BASIS PROBABLY MORE FOR ASH THAN MICHAEL JORDAN ON THE

BASKETBALL COURT. >> I WOULD DARE TO SAY SO BUT WE BETTER GET AWAY.

SO ANYWAY SHE IS GONNA COME. >> YOU KNOW WHAT? I DIDN'T REALIZE I'M SAYING ALL THESE SPORTS ANALYSIS JOKES I GUESS THAT SHOWS ON ESPN I WATCH BUT THAT'S OKAY.

I GOT DISNEY STUFF. THAT'S A GOOD SO SHE'S GONNA COME UP SHE'S GONNA TELL US ABOUT OVERALL VISION SOME THINGS THAT WE ACHIEVED AND SOLID WASTE THAT YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH. AND THEN WHERE WE GO AND SO AGAIN BIG PICTURE FIVE MINUTES

THEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION AND WE'RE AIMING HIGH. >> SHE'S GOING TO HIT YOU RIGHT

OUT THE GATE WITH THE VISION. >> SO NO. >> GOOD MORNING.

MORNING. I AM CINDY CARTER. I'D LIKE TO YOU ON SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING ACTIVITIES. AND OUR OVERALL VISION IS TO BECOME THE MOST PROACTIVE GREEN COUNTY IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA 20 21 HAS VERY BUSY YEAR AND AN EXCITING YEAR FOR SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING. THE DEPARTMENT BECAME AN ENTERPRISE FUND.

AS OF JULY 1ST WE FULLY IMPLEMENTED THE DETAIL SYSTEM FOR THE CONVENIENCE OWNERS AND WE CONTINUE TO RECEIVE CALLS FROM OTHER COUNTIES AND STATES WANTING TO COPY THE PROGRAM.

I'D LIKE TO PERSONALLY THANK OUR COUNTY DEPARTMENT FOR ALL THAT THEY HAVE DONE TO SUPPORT THIS PROGRAM. BEFORE COUNTY WAS ALSO RECOGNIZED BY PALMETTO PRIDE FOR OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS DEALING WITH LITTER CONTROL AT THIS YEAR'S SOUTH CAROLINA LITTER ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE AND AGAIN AT THE OCTOBER COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING WE LOOK FORWARD TO MANY MORE POSITIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO MAKE BEAUFORT COUNTY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY AND IN THE WORDS OF SPEAK STEVE MARTIN.

>> BE SO GOOD THEY CAN'T IGNORE YOU. WE KNOW THE CALLS CONTINUE TO SOAR. BEAUFORT COUNTY POPULATION IS INCREASING.

AN OCTOBER W. TSC REPORT INDICATED THE STATE POPULATION INCREASED TEN POINT SEVEN.

BUT BEFORE COUNTIES INCREASE WAS FIFTEEN POINT THREE PERCENT.

SO MORE PEOPLE EQUALS MORE TRASH. MORE TRASH COSTS THE COUNTY AND POOLS AND TIPPING FEES. SO THE NEW DETAIL SYSTEM IS AN OPERATIONAL IMPROVEMENT.

TO REMOVE COMMERCIAL AND ADD A COUNTY USE FROM THE CENTERS, HOWEVER IS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION FROM COST SAVINGS. WE WANT TO PAY. WE CONTINUE TO PAY FOR THE DISPOSAL FOR ALL THE RESIDENTIAL SOLID WASTE IN THIS COUNTY.

AT THE LANDFILL EVEN WITH OUR CURRENT CONTRACTS THERE WILL BE A CPI INCREASE EACH YEAR AND NEW CONTRACTS ANTICIPATED TO BE HIGHER ON THIS HISTORICAL GRAPH THAT YOU SAW AT THE LAST

[00:55:14]

>> THIS IS A VERY AMBITIOUS TERM AS WE HAVE MENTIONED IN THE PAST LIKE EMPTY STRAWS FOR ZERO OR TARGETED ZERO DEATHS ON THE ROADWAY. WE STRIVE FOR ZERO WASTE LEAVING BEFORE AND LESS HANDLE OR AT LEAST HAVE CONTROL OVER OUR OWN WASTE VOLUMES IN THE CALLS. BY TURNING THAT WASTE INTO A RESOURCE WE CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD ON LOCATING A SITE FOR SUSTAINABILITY CAMPUS TO SUPPORT THE ZERO WASTE INITIATIVE WE PLAN TO PRESENT THE WESTERN AND SAMPSON SUSTAINABILITY CAMPUS CITING STUDY DURING THE NOVEMBER PUBLIC FACILITIES COMMITTEE MEETING LATER THIS MONTH.

DEPENDING ON THE APPROVAL OF THE SITE AND THE WAY STREAMS TO BE INCLUDED, WE ANTICIPATE A CAPITAL INVESTMENT PLAN BETWEEN 20 TO 30 MILLION DOLLARS WITH A PAYBACK PERIOD OF THREE TO FIVE

YEARS. >> THE TIMELINE VISION FOR SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING NEARS PORTIONS OF THE 2014 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THE UPCOMING SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN REVISION. SO WE'VE ALREADY IMPLEMENTED THE DECALS SYSTEM IN 2021.

WE CONTINUE TO HAVE AN ONGOING EDUCATION AND ENFORCEMENT. WE ARE GETTING READY TO EVALUATE THE SITE OPTIONS FOR THE SUSTAINABILITY CAMPUS AND WE'LL CALL THAT FISCAL YEAR 22 . WE'RE GOING TO INITIATE A COMPOST PROGRAM IN 2022 AND CONSTRUCT AND OPERATE THE MARCH WHICH IS A MATERIALS RECOVERY FACILITY SIZE FOR ALL COUNTY

RECYCLABLES RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL IN 2012. >> WE'D LIKE TO PERMIT AND CONSTRUCT A TRANSFER STATION OR A WASTE TO ENERGY FACILITY BY 2025.

>> COMPLETE THE CAMPUS FOR SEEING DAY RECYCLING TIRE RECYCLING AND HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION FACILITIES IN 2025 AND WE HAVE NOT LOST SIGHT OF THE FACT THAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO EVALUATE OUR COUNTYWIDE CURBSIDE COLLECTION AND CONTRACT THE

LITTER REMOVAL SERVICES. >> ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS I'LL START.

YES SIR. ONE OF THE BIG THINGS THAT IS PROLIFERATING DAY BY DAY BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE DIGITAL ERA IS ELECTRONIC WASTE. DO WE HAVE A GAME PLAN FOR DEALING WITH ELECTRONIC WASTE WHETHER THEY'RE TELEVISIONS, COMPUTERS, AUDIO VISUAL ANY

OF THOSE? >> RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A CONTRACT WITH A CONTRACTOR THAT COMES OUT OF NORTH CAROLINA AND THE EVENTS ARE FOR TONS A YEAR. WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO ONCE WE GET THE SUSTAINABILITY CAMPUS CITED IS TO HAVE WHERE CITIZENS CAN COME AND BRING THAT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR AND THEN WE WOULD JUST ARRANGE WHEN THAT DISPOSAL OPTION OR RECYCLING OPTION WILL HAPPEN. MISS HOWARD, I KNOW WE HAVE A VERY ROBUST VOLUNTEER PROGRAM FOR LITTER PICKUP BUT I SEE YOU HAD CONTRACTED. WHAT'S THE PLANS FOR CONTRACTED LITTER PICKUP? WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE AND WE'VE GOT A GRANT THAT'S AVAILABLE TO US COMING UP WITH SOME DRY. IS FOR A LITTLE CREW. SO THE IDEA IS TO PUT ANOTHER BODY ON THE ROAD PICKING UP LITTER. I'VE TALKED WITH THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD. THEY ACTUALLY HAD AN RFP OUT AND A CONTRACT WHERE THEY USE THEIR LANDSCAPERS TO DO ROUTINE PICK UP. AND I THINK IT'S IT'S A GOOD PROJECT. IT WORKS WHEN YOU GO ACROSS THE BRIDGE YOU SEE LESS LITTER AND KILL HIM THAN YOU DO OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTY AND I'M LOOKING AT TRYING TO MIRROR OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. GREAT. THANK YOU.

ONE THING WAS TRUE SOME OF THIS HAS TO D HAVE WAYS THAT THIS VOLUNTEER PROGRAM AND I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS. HERE RECENTLY. OUR VOLUNTEERS ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO WORK ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE ROAD. SO WE HAVE A DIVIDED MEDIA LIKE 170 TWENTY ONE PARTY SEE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GET IN THERE.

SO ANOTHER USE OF THE CONTRACTOR IS THAT THEY COULD BE PERMITTED TO USE THEY'VE HAD APPROPRIATE TRAFFIC CONTROL SUCH LIKE THAT. SO RIGHT NOW ANY TIME YOU SEE THAT NAME THERE'S SO MUCH LITTER AND BILL FOR THIS BECAUSE WE CAN'T GIVE YOU DON'T

[01:00:03]

DON'T ME VOLUNTEERS DO THIS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. WE HAVE A CONTRACTOR GO ROLE IN

HELPING US WAS OUR SON. >> I MADE A SUGGESTION SOME MONTHS AGO THAT WE MIGHT CONSIDER HIRING A NEW SECOND LITTER CREW AND PAYING FOR WITH ACCOMMODATIONS OR HOSPITALITY TAX AND I'M GOING TO KEEP PRESSING THAT WE HASN'T GONE ANYWHERE YET.

>> BUT JUST THAT HASN'T DIED. THEY'RE NOT WITH ME. I'D LIKE TO CONSIDER THOSE

POSITIONS BACK THE NEXT YEAR AS WELL. >> I MEAN I KNOW THAT SOME OF OUR DEAR BELOVED VISITORS OCCASIONALLY LITTERING. SO WE'VE GOT SOME NEW

EDUCATIONAL PLANS COMING UP. >> ALSO TOP DIPLOMAT GRANT UP PELHAM ENTERPRISE GRANTS.

WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD. AND IT'S NOT JUST YOU KNOW, THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE LITTERING.

YOU KNOW I LIVE RIGHT. I WON 70. IT IS ALL THE COMMERCIAL VEHICLES THAT AREN'T TARP. IT'S ALL THE VEHICLES THE TRASH HAULERS THAT ARE GOING TO THE LANDFILL THAT ARE DROPPING ALL OF THAT GARBAGE. AND ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE HAVE IS THERE ISN'T A COORDINATION OF PICKING UP THE LITTER BEFORE THEY MOW.

SO THEY MOW AND THEY THAT LITTER IS NOW CHURNED UP AND SPREAD ALL OVER THE PLACE.

AND THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM WITH THE BRIDGE BY OKATIE WHERE THERE IS TREMENDOUS LITTER ON THAT STRETCH OF LAND. SO YEAH, WE HAVE A LITTER PROBLEM. AND THEN WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON AREAS AND COORDINATE WITH ECPAT . THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR MORE COMMENT ON THIS HOWARD WE THOUGHT OF . WE DO HAVE SOME ONLINE.

SO GO AHEAD HOWARD. AND THEN BRIAN, YOU WILL BE NEXT.

I'D LIKE TO SEE US NOW THAT THINGS ARE SETTLING DOWN. REINSTITUTE THE EXISTING ORDINANCE AS WE ALREADY BAGS AND I KNOW THAT IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF EDUCATION ENFORCEMENT ON THE MUNICIPALITIES ARE IN OUR PATH. BUT I THINK I THINK IT'S TIME I THINK YOU KNOW, IN A WAY THAT'S A LESSON. ERIC GREENWAY TO ASK YOU TO SEE HOW WE CAN GET THERE FOR THAT. BUT IT'S TIME TO GO BACK AND ENFORCE THAT HOPE.

THANK YOU, MR. FLEW. ARE YOU STILL ON MUTE? >> RIGHT.

THANK YOU. CINDY, CAN YOU HEAR ME OK? YES, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. GREAT. >> I HAVE TWO THINGS I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST AND IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THEM AND AND GET BACK TO ME I'VE HAD A CITIZEN A CONSTITUENT REQUEST THAT AT THE SHANKLIN DROP SITE FOR THE HOUSEHOLD GARBAGE WE GET WE BUILD SOME KIND OF A RAMP SO THAT CARS CAN DRIVE IN AND THAT THE DROP DROPOFF IS ABOVE LIKE STANDING HEIGHT. AND SO PEOPLE HAVE TO LIFT THEIR GARBAGE UP OVER TO PUT IT

IN INTO THE INTO THE BIN. >> AND SO I'VE HAD SOMEBODY SUGGEST WE BUILD SOME KIND OF A RAMP TO ALLOW DROP IN INSTEAD OF LIFT OVER. AND THE SECOND THING IS WHAT'S THE PLAN FOR THE GATE COMMUNITY CENTER THAT WE CLOSED AND IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT WE COULD TURN THAT INTO A RECYCLE ONLY FACILITY JUST TO BE ABLE TO DROP SOMETHING THERE? I KNOW WE CLOSED IT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT AS MUCH TRAFFIC BUT IF WE IF WE DOWNSIZE TO JUST RECYCLING AND WE HAD PREVIOUSLY S VERY SMALL FACILITY THERE IF WE GET DOWNLOADED TO JUST DOWNSIZE IT TO JUST RECYCLING IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE OF THE PRESSURE OFF THE REST OF THE FACILITIES IN NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY AND WE'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE THAT.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE CURRENT PLANS ARE. AND THEN IF THOSE GATES AND THE PRITCHARD BILL CENTERS FORM PART MASTER LIST OF AVAILABLE PROPERTIES BUT THANK YOU FOR

THAT FEEDBACK. THANK YOU. >> YOU WOULD HEAR BACK FROM ME.

I'D APPRECIATE IT. YES, SIR. YES.

SAME YOU SAID ONE INTRIGUING THING ABOUT THAT CLIMATE TREATY THINGS YOU KNOW VOLUNTEERS PICKING UP LITTER THE GROUP THAT I BELONGED TO PICKED UP TRASH FROM 278 OF PRETTY FAR DOWN 170. WE WERE DISBANDED BECAUSE WE USED TO DO BOTH SIDES OF THE ROADWAY IN THE MEDIA. AND THAT BECAME VERY DANGEROUS IF WE WERE JUST LIMITED TO THE

[01:05:07]

>> I KNOW AT ONE POINT, TOM, THAT GROUP WAS TOLD AWAY BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME ROAD CONSTRUCTION GOING ON AT ONE TIME. IF WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THE

SAYING IS THE RIVER BEND ROAD WARRIOR RIVER BAND. >> YEAH, A RIVER BAND.

YEAH. THEY WERE THEY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY MECHANISM? LET'S GET WITH CAROLYN JORDAN NANCY AND I NOTICE WHEN I COME IN AND OUT OF THAT AREA IS IT'S VERY NICE BECAUSE RUBIN BEEN SUCH A TREMENDOUS JOB. YES.

THAT WE'VE ASKED OUR LITTLE AFRAID TRY TO STEP UP A LITTLE BIT BUT THERE THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF OTHER AREAS TO WORK ON HIS WAY HELPING. LET'S GET I'LL GET BACK WITH YOU NEXT WEEK. GREAT. THANK YOU.

I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NO.

CINDY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

>> STAND COURSE. LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED A BREATHER.

QUESTION. >> ALL RIGHT. NEXT ONE IS FACILITIES MASTER PLAN. SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS STARTED IN FACILITIES

MANAGEMENT MART ROSE. >> NOW DID A GREAT JOB LEADING US THROUGH THAT HAD GREAT JUMP BOARD. THEY DEVELOPED A PLAN OVER THE COURSE A YEAR AND A HALF AND THEN SINCE THEN HAVE PRESENTED THE PLAN TO COUNCIL AND THEN FROM THIS STAFF IS WORKING ON RECOMMENDATIONS BACK TO YOU ALL. SO WE TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE BIT IN THE VIDEO BUT WE'RE WORKING ON KIND OF PUTTING A FIRST STEP.

>> IT'S A BIG AUDACIOUS PLAN. IT'S GOT A LOT OF FUNDING TO IT AND THAT'S A BIG, BIG PART.

WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT, HOWEVER, MOVING FOR DAVE WILHELM IS GOING TO BE THE POINT MAN ON

THAT AND CAPITAL PROJECT DIRECTOR. >> HE'S GOING TO COORDINATE WITH MARK ALONG THE WAY AS WELL AS COUNCIL AND VARIOUS OTHER INPUTS.

BUT THEY YOU COME UP AND KIND OF GIVES HIGHLIGHT AND SOMETHING LIKE LET'S USE THEM.

I'LL BE READY. RIGHT. GOOD MORNING.

I DIDN'T HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THE FACILITY'S MASTER PLAN LIKE TO START OFF WITH OUR VISION BUILDING ON THE LIVE WORK PLAY THEME OF FACILITY MASTER PLAN FOCUSES ON THE WORK ELEMENT. OUR VISION IS TO MAKE BEAUFORT COUNTY THE MOST DESIRABLE PLACE TO WORK BY BUILDING A COST AND ENERGY EFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ALL COUNTY EMPLOYEES.

WE WANT TO HAVE A NICE ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES TO WORK.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE? ONE OF THE GOALS? THE FACILITY MASTER PLAN PURPOSE IS TO CREATE A LONG RANGE PLAN FOR THE MOST EFFICIENT USE OF COUNTY BUILDINGS AND WE WANT TO DEVELOP PRIORITIZED LIST OF PROJECTS.

I THINK THAT'S THE KEY ELEMENT. THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. RENOVATING BUILDINGS, BUILDING TO CONSTRUCTING NEW BUILDINGS IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WE CAN'T.

WE RECOGNIZE WE CAN'T DO THEM ALL ALL AT ONCE. SO WE'RE TO BE FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE, BE WORKING WITH THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO TRY TO DEVELOP A BUDGET AND WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE CURRENT CONDITION BUILDINGS, THE CURRENT NEEDS AS WELL AS THE FUTURE NEEDS AND DEVELOP A LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS AND BE PRESENTING THAT TO HEAR OUR GOAL. WE'RE LOOKING AT A 25 PERCENT REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF FACILITIES AND A 50 PERCENT REDUCTION ENERGY USAGE BY 2030. THAT'S A PRETTY BIG GOAL.

>> GERARD IS ALSO ALWAYS PUSHING US TO AIM HIGH. SO PUTTING THAT OUT THERE AS OUR GOAL. AND I DO THINK IT'S ACHIEVABLE .

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, BUILDINGS THAT WEREN'T PART OF AGING OR REPLACING OR OLDER BUILDINGS DURING ENERGY EFFICIENT. SO JUST WORKING THROUGH THE RENOVATION PROCESS AND BUILDING NEW BUILDINGS WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE SOME SAVINGS BY PUTTING NEW MORE EFFICIENT SYSTEMS IN PLACE. HEATING COOLING SYSTEMS BETTER BUILDING. AND AS FAR AS REDUCING THE FACILITIES, I THINK WE'RE GOING

TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. >> JUST TAKING A LOOK AT OUR NEEDS AND CONSOLIDATION.

A GOOD EXAMPLE IS THE PUBLIC WORKS COMPLEX. I THINK MOST PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR PUBLIC WORKS COMPLEX AND SHANKLIN ROAD. THE MAIN BUILDING WAS BUILT IN 1974 A VERY OLD BUILDING, VERY ENERGY INEFFICIENT. WE HAVE QUITE A FEW STAFF IN THAT BUILDING BUT IN ADDITION ON THAT SITE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW OTHER BUILDINGS KIND OF STREWN ABOUT WHICH HOUSE OTHER COUNTY STAFF WITH STORM WATER, ROADS AND DRAINAGE SOLID WASTE RECYCLING ROLLING DIFFERENT BUILDINGS. ARE RATHER THEY'RE KIND OF OLDER TRAILERS OR JUST KIND OF LEAN TO BUILDINGS. SO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO DO IS BUILD A SINGLE BUILDING THAT'S GOING TO BE MUCH MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT, CONSOLIDATE, BRING ALL THE STAFF INTO ONE BUILDING AND BY DOING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF THE FACILITIES THAT WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN BUT ALSO REDUCE OUR ENERGY USAGE.

[01:10:04]

SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET BETTER? WE'VE RECOGNIZED EARLY ON THAT BOLTON TO HELP US PROCESS WE RETAIN THE SERVICE IS A CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATES.

AT THE AUGUST 19TH COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING, CREECH PRESENTED THEIR SPACE NEEDS ANALYSIS AND FACILITIES MASTER PLAN TO COUNCIL THE SPACE NEEDS ANALYSIS AND FACILITIES MASTER PLAN ARE TWO SEPARATE DOCUMENTS THE SPACE LINK ANALYSIS AND A DETAILED SURVEY OF OUR CURRENT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT OUR FUTURE NEEDS ARE. WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE AN ACCURATE THAT WE KNOW ACCURATELY WHERE OUR NEEDS ARE BEFORE WE CAN BEGIN DESIGNING OUR PLANS FOR THE FUTURE. ESSENTIALLY THAT SPACE NEEDS ANALYSIS IS THE FRAMEWORK OR BUILDING BLOCK OR FOUNDATION FOR THE MASTER PLAN. THE FACILITY MASTER PLAN IS PRESENTED BY CREECH CONSISTED OF CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS FOR BOTH RENOVATION WORK AND NEW BUILDINGS AND ALSO INCLUDED PROBABLE COST ESTIMATES FOR THE WORK AND THE PROBLEM OF COST ESTIMATES IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE USING IN OUR PRIORITIES PRIORITIZATION IN OUR PLANNING PROCESS MOVING FORWARD. AS PART OF FUTURE PLANNING BOTH RENOVATION OF EXISTING BUILDINGS AS WELL AS IN DESIGN NEW BUILDINGS WE'RE GONNA PUT A STRONG FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY WHERE POSSIBLE WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO OBTAIN LEED CERTIFICATION.

LEED IS BASICALLY A RATING SYSTEM THAT TELLS HOW WELL YOU'VE DONE IN THE BUILDING DESIGN AND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION. WITH SUSTAINABILITY ENERGY USAGE. IF WE CAN'T OBTAIN LEED CERTIFICATION WE WILL BE USING LEED GUIDELINES AND PRINCIPLES IN OUR DESIGN TO TRY TO MAXIMIZE OR MINIMIZE OUR ENERGY USAGE. STAFF WILL BE DISCUSSING SPACE NEEDS ANALYSIS AND MASTER PLAN IN MORE DETAIL AT THE NOVEMBER PUBLIC FACILITIES COMMITTEE MEETING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

WE'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING OUR DRAFT PRIVATIZATION LIST AND ALSO LOOKING FOR ACCEPTANCE OF THE SPACE NEEDS ANALYSIS. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY AGREES THAT THIS IS OUR STARTING POINT BEFORE WE MOVE FORWARD. SO UPDATING RENOVATING OFFICE SPACE AND CONSTRUCTING NEW BUILDINGS WILL CREATE A MUCH BETTER ENVIRONMENT FOR YOU FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS FOR VISITORS TO COUNTY BUILDINGS. I SAID TRYING TO MAKE BEFORE COUNTY THE MOST DESIRABLE PLACE TO WORK IS A GREAT PLACE TO WORK NOW.

IF WE IMPROVE OUR BUILDING ENVIRONMENTAL MAKE IT THAT MUCH BETTER.

SO WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK AHEAD OF US VERY EXCITED TO GET STARTED ON THIS JOURNEY.

ACTUALLY UPDATES ANSWERING QUESTIONS WELL. WE'LL GO TO YOU FIRST.

THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU, JOE.

I REALLY APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION, DAVID. AND I'M WONDERING WHEN WE TALK ABOUT NEEDING TWENTY FIVE PERCENT REDUCTION IN FACILITIES AND 50 PERCENT REDUCTION OF ENERGY USAGE IN THAT. HOW IMPORTANT ARE WE HOW MUCH EMPHASIS ARE WE PLACING ON THE REALLY THE NEW TREND IN WORK FROM HOME OR WORK FROM OTHER SPACE?

>> BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD REALLY PROVIDE US A LOT OF COST SAVINGS EVENTUALLY NOT ONLY IN FACILITIES BUT IN ENERGY. DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE SPACE THAT I'M IN RIGHT NOW WOULD BE HEATED WHETHER ON HERE OR NOT COOLED DURING THE SUMMER AND THERE IS VERY MINIMAL EXTRA ENERGY USAGE WORKING FROM ANOTHER SPACE AND I'M WONDERING HOW MUCH AD BUSINESS WE'RE GOING TO BE PLACING ON THAT, WHETHER WE CAN ANTICIPATE THAT THAT AS NOT ONLY A SAVING SCORE BUT REALLY EMPHASIZED IT AND REALLY UTILIZE IT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

>> THAT IS AN EXCELLENT POINT AND WE WILL BE PLACING A STRONG EMPHASIS ON THAT.

AND THAT'S PART OF THE NEEDS ANALYSIS. THERE ARE SOME DEPARTMENTS FOR EXAMPLE, PUBLIC WORKS THEY PHYSICALLY HAVE TO SHOW UP. YOU HAVE TO BE THERE ARE GREAT OR YOU HAVE TO BE THERE A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT. BUT THERE ARE OTHER DEPARTMENTS THAT THERE MAY BE OPPORTUNITIES TO WORK REMOTELY IF NOT FULL TIME MAYBE ON A PART TIME BASIS. SO ABSOLUTELY WE WILL BE CONSIDERING THAT AS PART OF OUR

NEEDS ANALYSIS. >> THANKS. I THINK THAT ALSO CAN IMPACT OUR TRAFFIC NEEDS IN THE FUTURE. YOU WERE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.

>> YEAH, VERY GOOD POINT. >> YEAH. PANDEMIC REALLY TAUGHT US A LESSON THAT WAY. YEAH. GOOD GOOD POINT.

>> GO AWAY. YEAH. YEAH.

THANK YOU. OKAY. OTHERS.

THE OTHER COMMENTS. OKAY. WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JUST JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS. AS YOU PUT TOGETHER YOUR PRIORITIZATION LIST HOPEFULLY I HAVE PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST ARE AT THE TOP OF MY STORE.

OKAY. AND YOU CAN EITHER WAIT YOU MEAN YOU CAN LEAVE US HANGING OR YOU CAN TELL US WHAT THE NEXT TWO OR THREE ARE. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO TODAY.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO TODAY? YEAH WE STAY WHERE WE ARE IN

NEW YORK. >> WE KNOW WHAT SOME OF THOSE ARE ALSO.

[01:15:01]

PUBLIC WORKS CERTAINLY NEAR THE TOP COUPLE OF PROPERTY PURCHASES.

YES. AND THE SHERIFF SHERIFF'S OFFICE OVER TIME IS OBVIOUSLY

IT'S A PLAN AS WELL. >> SO HOW DO WE MAKE A BITE SIZE? BITE SIZE IS SOME THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT AS FAR AS THE NEEDS THERE.

IF ANYBODY HAS BEEN TO THE INVESTIGATION HEADQUARTERS IS DEFINITELY IN NEED SAYING THEY WERE PUBLIC WORKS. SO THOSE ARE STANDALONE TO A LOT OF THE DISCUSSION WAS AROUND THIS THIS ACTUAL SITE AND ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND HOW IT INTERACTS WITH THE JUDICIAL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. SO THOSE ARE BIGGER PIECES OF THE PUZZLE WILL BE COMING TO YOU IN TOP AND WE NEED THAT FEEDBACK AND COUNSEL TO SOLVE THE WHOLE PUZZLE.

AND THEN BASICALLY ONCE YOU SOLVED THE WHOLE PUZZLE ARE THAT THE END STATE SAVE THE LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THEN BUILD ON THE BIG ITEMS THEN WE CAN BACK INTO BACK TO THE FUTURE STARTING POINT. BUT THERE'S A WHOLE ITEMS THOSE THOSE POOR PARTICULARLY AGAIN THE PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY, THE UNIT'S HEADQUARTERS BUILDING AND THE EXISTING DOWNTOWN COMPLEX THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY ALREADY WORKING RENOVATION DOES.

THOSE ARE THE TOP FOUR AS WE STAND. >> SO IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT KIND OF FALLS IN TWO CATEGORIES. ONE IS THE SPACE NEEDLE.

AND BRIAN MAKES A GOOD POINT ABOUT WHETHER THAT STARTS TO FOLD INTO THAT AS WE LOOK OVER THE HORIZON A LITTLE BIT AND THEN I THINK THE OTHER IS AS WE WRAP UP THE CONSULTANT STUDY, YOU KNOW, ARE THERE ANY PLACES THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME INPUT NOW? BUT OBVIOUSLY I DON'T THINK WE TAKE ANYTHING OUT OF THAT. BUT DO WE WANT TO DO ANY PRIORITIZATION OF WHICH ONES? AND I THINK YOU GET INTO THREE OR FOUR YEAR ROLLING TYPE OF THING THAT SAYS OKATIE EACH YEAR YOU'VE DONE SOME AND YOU START TO ADD SOME.

THE NEXT YOU'RE OUT IS PRETTY HARD TO LOOK AT 20 YEARS BUT HE IS VERY USEFUL STUDY FOR WHAT THE PURPOSES OF IDENTIFYING WHAT WE NEED. ONE OF THE THINGS I DID NOT HEAR BUT WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION IS BECAUSE OF THE POPULATION GROWTH IN THE SOUTHERN SECTION THAT THE BEAUFORT OF THE BLUFFTON COMPLEX IS IN SORE NEED OF ADDITIONAL SPACE THAT WAS PART OF THE SPACE NEEDS ASSESSMENT.

>> EACH DEPARTMENT THERE LOOK AT WERE FACTORS PUT IN THERE AND LOOKING AT THIRD YEAR LOOK AHEAD FOR WHAT WHAT SPACE IT NEEDED MAKES APARTMENT AND POPULATION GROWTH AND SPECIFICALLY WHERE THAT IS GOING TO BE IN ACCOUNTING MISTAKE.

AS PART OF THAT BUT YEAR ON YOUR INVESTMENT IS YEAH LOOK AT THE WHOLE NEED 30 YEARS BUT THE TIMING OF THAT NEED IS OUT THERE AND THAT'S WHAT YOU DO. WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

>> GREAT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? JUST COME ON.

I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW CHAIRMAN RODMAN'S ALLUDED TO FOR STAFF IN THIS STAFF IS GOING TO BE LOOKING TO COUNSEL FOR DIRECTION IMMEDIATELY SO THEY CAN GET STARTED.

THERE ARE SOME TRYING TO GET A QUORUM CALL ALMOST READY TO GO IN A REALLY CRITICAL NEEDS PROJECT AT THIS TIME AND COUNSEL WILL HAVE TO MEET AND I'M HOPING THAT THEY WILL PRESENT TO THE FACILITY COMMITTEE PRETTY SOON SO THAT WE CAN GET THEM SOME DIRECTION SO THAT THEY CAN GET STARTED. AND ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT THEY REALLY WANT TO WORK ON FIRST IS THAT NECESSARILY FIRST BUT IF THE PUBLIC FACILITY BUILDING WE CAN GIVE THEM A GO AHEAD AND GET STARTED WITH THAT PLAN'S ALREADY BEEN STARTED ALREADY SITE WORK HAS BEEN DETERMINED THE LANE IS NOT NECESSARY TO BE PURCHASED. IT IS ALREADY DEAD .

SO THEY JUST NEED SOME DIRECTION FOR US AND I HOPE WE CAN JUST MAKE THAT QUICK DECISION AND ALLOW THEM TO GO AHEAD AND GET WORK STARTED. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AT THE NEXT PUBLIC FOOT OF FACILITIES COMMITTEE MEETING THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO START TO LOCK IN AS PART OF OUR BUDGET PROCESS. OK. THESE ARE THE PRIORITY THINGS THAT WE NEED NOW SO WE CAN DEVELOP THE FUNDING SOURCES, THE YOU KNOW, ENGINEERING, THE TIMELINES, THE DEADLINES FOR US TO DO SO. POINT WELL TAKEN RIGHT IN THERE. THERE THEY'RE BASICALLY FIVE THINGS THAT THEY NEED US TO MAKE A DECISION ON AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN MAKE THOSE DECISION AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THEY CAN GO TO WORK AND WE CAN DEAL WITH SOME OF THE OTHERS AND TRY TO THAT'S THEIR PART OF THAT. AND THE GOOD THING IS TO GET STARTED ON IT IS THE INITIAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM AND THEN WE CAN FILTER IN THE CONSTRUCTION A YEAR AFTER WE WON'T NEED THAT FIRST TWELVE MONTHS OBVIOUSLY. RIGHT. SO TO GET STARTED IS A SMART FINANCIAL COMMITMENT BUT THEN YOU SET YOURSELF UP RIGHT. SO I WOULD HOPE THAT YOU WOULD

[01:20:05]

PROGRAM JIM. >> MR. MCCOLLUM? >> YEAH.

WE'RE FOLLOWING UP ON YOUR QUESTION ABOUT THESE FACILITIES IN BLUFFTON.

THE SPEAKERS DRILL DOWN A LITTLE BIT ON THAT MYRTLE PARK SITUATION AND GIVE ME A BETTER AND CLEARER UNDERSTAND OF WHAT THEY SEE DEVELOPING ON THAT EXISTING SPACE.

>> SO IN THOSE FACILITIES MASTER PLAN THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS.

BASICALLY ONE OPTION THE FIRST OPTION IS TO MIRROR THE EXISTING AND BUILDING.

AND THEN I THINK THINKING THAT HAD ADMINS BASE IS WHAT WAS CALLED OUT INTO THE PLAN ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE BASE THAT YOU'RE FOR. THEN THE SECOND COMPONENT WAS TO DO JUST JUDICIAL SPACE. SO LET THE PROBATE BOARD IN AT LEAST ANOTHER COURT SPACE AND THAT THAT WAS KIND OF THE THIRD BUILDING THAT WOULD BE EITHER TO THE RIGHT EAST OF THE EXISTING FACILITIES OR ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY TO THE WEST OF THIS FLEET ONTO THE EAST.

BUT WE NEED TO DO FILL INTO THE THE TENSION LINE THERE. WE DON'T OWN THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST OF THE DRIVEWAY. SO THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE FURTHER DISCUSSED

SEPARATELY RELATED TO THE JUDICIAL CENTER. >> YOU HAVE A VISION YET FOR WHETHER OR NOT THAT ENTIRE SECOND FLOOR THAT EXISTS NOW WILL MOVE INTO THE JUDICIAL CENTER IN ITS ENTIRETY. WE HAVEN'T WE DON'T HAVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS BEYOND THE

ACTUAL STUDY AT THE MOMENT. >> BUT THOSE WOULD BE THE DETAILS THAT WE NEED TO REFINE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. WHAT'S THE TIMEFRAME FOR THAT BALANCE?

>> AGAIN, TRYING TO GET A FEW PRIORITIES. BUT THAT WOULD DEFINITELY FLOW TOWARDS THE TOP AS A PRIORITY. SO THE ENGINEERING AND THE STUDY CAN START HERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE. AND THEN WE CAN PLAN TO CONSTRUCTION FROM THAT POINT SO SOMETIME SOMETIME THIS YEAR WE CAN DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THE PLAN OR WHAT WE WILL SEE AND DEFINE THAT SO THAT WE CAN START ENGINEERING AND DESIGN POSSIBLY.

>> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, DAVID? THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT. AND I JUST WANT TO REITERATE WE'RE NOT BUILT ON HOPS. I THINK WE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT HAPPEN.

BUT WE DO WANT AN APPEALING BUILD AND THAT FITS OUR NEEDS. >> SOMETHING SMELLS FRESH, CLEAN. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY HAS THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES I DO BUT WHEN WE GO SOMEWHERE WITH MY WIFE THAT WE PLAN OUR PIT STOPS BASED OFF CLEAN RESTROOMS.

SO WE WANT. >> WE WANT TO INVITE AND GROOM AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS PLEASING NOT JUST TO THE WORKERS BUT TO EVERYBODY THAT USE OUR FACILITIES AND WE AIM TO DO THAT. OUR NEXT ITEM IS TRANSPORTATION

IS TRANSPORTATION. >> SO AS YOU ARE AWARE, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN TRANSPORTATION. WE HAVE A LOT GOING ON CURRENTLY AND A LOT OF DISCUSSION ALREADY ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE COME COMING YEARS.

SO WE WANT TALK ABOUT EACH OF THAT FIRST WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT EXISTING SALES TESTS TO GIVE YOU A QUICK UPDATE ON THAT. BRITTANY FIELDS IS OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS COORDINATOR. THAT IS A MOUTHFUL.

TRY AND SAY BUT THAT IS SHE IS TAKEN KIND OF LEAD ON THAT AND COORDINATE WITH OUR PROGRAM MANAGER JENNIFER BRAGG AT BRAGG CONSULTING TO HELP US ON THOSE EXISTING PROJECTS.

SO SHE'S GONNA GIVE US A QUICK UPDATE ON THAT. I'M ONE TOUGH ABOUT VISION AND

WHERE WE'RE GOING AND WHERE WE WANT TO GO. >> AND THEN ANDREA AGNES AND AH TRAFFIC OUR TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR, SHE'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS VISION AND MOVE IT INTO AN ACTION PLAN.

SO FIRST, BRITTANY, IF YOU CAN COME TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT SALES TAX AND GOOD MORNING.

>> ALL RIGHT. SO THE CURRENT SALES TAX THAT WE HAVE IS DIVIDED BETWEEN THE THREE PROJECTS ON THE SCREENS OF THE U.S. 278 CORRIDOR. THE LADY'S ISLAND QUARTER TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS AND THEN THE SIDEWALK AND MULTI USE PATHWAYS PROGRAM BEGINNING WITH U.S. 278. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH LCD TV FOR THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WE STARTED OFF WITH 19 ALTERNATIVES AND WE'LL GET DOWN TO SIX REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES. AND MOST RECENTLY THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD JULY OF THIS YEAR FOR THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE AND WE ARE WORKING WITH A CPO TEAM

[01:25:02]

ONCE WE RECEIVE THE APPROVAL THIS WILL ALLOW US TO BEGIN FULL DESIGN AND RIGHT AWAY DOCUMENTS FOR THE PROJECT. MOVING ON TO THE LADY'S ISLAND CORRIDOR TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS THERE WERE NINE PROJECTS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2017 LADY'S ISLAND CORRIDOR TRAFFIC STUDY.

ALL OF THE PROJECTS EXCLUDING MAYFAIR COURT EXTENSION ARE CURRENTLY IN A VARIOUS PHASE OF DESIGN. WE'RE LOOKING AT AIRPORT FRONTAGE ROAD PHASE 1 AND MEADOWBROOK DRIVE EXTENSION BEING PLANNED FOR BID TO CONSTRUCTION IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR. AND THEN LASTLY AND THE MOST FUN SO FAR FOR ME HAS BEEN THE SIDEWALKS AND MULTI USE PATHWAYS. A REFERENDUM PASSED WITH 24 OF THOSE AND THROUGH BOTH A RESOLUTION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WE HAVE WHITTLED THAT DOWN TO EIGHT. ALL THE PROJECTS ARE ALSO IN VARIOUS PHASES OF DESIGN WITH LOVED AND PARKWAY BLUFFTON PARKWAY PATHWAY AND THE RIBAUT ROAD SIDEWALK EXTENSION PLAN FOR CONSTRUCTION AT NEXT YEAR. AS OF THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 WE HAVE RECEIVED ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN MILLION NINE HUNDRED FIFTY THREE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY FIVE DOLLARS OF THE 120 COLLECTION AND HOW ABOUT HALF A MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF INTEREST TO DATE. WE'RE CONTINUING TO SEEK ADDITIONAL FUNDING SOURCES FOR THE PROGRAM OVERALL AND WE HAVE PURSUED TWENTY NINE POINT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS.

>> WE WILL KNOW AT THE END OF NOVEMBER WHETHER OR NOT WE'LL BE BRINGING IN A REVENUE OF 26 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE PROGRAM. JUST AS A REMINDER, ALL THE INFORMATION IS CURRENTLY UP TO DATE ON THE WEBSITE YOU'D GO TO BE FOR COUNTY PENNEBAKER.

THERE YOU'LL FIND OUR MONTHLY REPORTS OF EXPENDITURES PROJECTS, ADDRESSES AND ANY

UPCOMING PUBLIC MEETINGS AND YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >> ANY QUESTIONS? MR. SOMERVILLE ON THE SUNSET AND MILLER DRIVE INTERSECTION IS THERE ANY CERTAINTY ON WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN THERE AT THE INTERSECTION OF SUNRISE, SUNSET AND MILLER DRIVE? WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ROUNDABOUT AS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED TO LOOK AT THE ROAD NO

,THERE'S NO TIME LINE. >> IT'S PRELIMINARY DESIGN AT THE MOMENT THAT WE'RE COORDINATING WITH SIDOTI THE ON THE REFERENDUM NUMBER OF PATHWAYS AND TRAILS THAT WE

PUT ON WAS GREATER THAN THE MONEY WE ALLOCATED. >> AND IT'S ALWAYS AND I RECOGNIZE SOME MIGHT FALL BY THE WAYSIDE BUT THERE'S SOME THAT WILL PROBABLY SECOND PRIORITY THAT WE'RE STILL ON THE THING. SO MY THOUGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN, IS THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO DO ANOTHER REFERENDUM TRANSPORTATION WISE, WE MAY NOT WE MAY WANT TO SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT GETTING SOME MORE ALLOCATING SOME MONEY TO GET SOME MORE OF THOSE DONE BECAUSE IT BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT TO PASS A REFERENDUM IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SOME THINGS THAT WE INDICATED IN SOME FORM THAT WE MIGHT DO JUST THE CAR MONEY FOR THE PATHWAYS ARE IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN.

>> SO WE ARE PURSUING ADDITIONAL FUNDS OUTSIDE OF THE SALES TAX FOR THOSE WE RECENTLY DID AN APPLICATOR SEND TO THE DEFENSE FOR AN INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT ON LAUREL BAY WHICH HAS NO PART OF THE 24 NOT PART OF THE EIGHT THAT WE HAVE PURSUED.

AND THEN MOST RECENTLY WE'VE GOT A C.D. V-J COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FOR STEWART POINT AT ANY COST SAVINGS THAT WE HAVE FROM THE PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE

THROUGH THE 24 ALTOGETHER. >> YOU INDICATED THAT AS OF THE END OF THE QUARTER WE'VE GOTTEN 118 EIGHTEEN PLUS INTEREST. DOES THE INTEREST COUNT TOWARDS THE MAXIMUM 120 MILLION THAT WE WERE SCHEDULED TO CONNECT IT TO COURT AND THE WHOLE BE USED TOWARDS THE PROJECTS WITHIN THE PROGRAM? GOTCHA. SO AT THIS POINT IN TIME IT'S PRETTY SAFE TO SAY WE'VE NOW COLLECTED ALL HUNDRED TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS.

>> CORRECT. OK. WE ARE ON THAT.

WE ARE FOLLOWING UP WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TREASURER AND DEPARTMENT REVENUE BECAUSE WITH THAT WE HAD TO SIGNAL TO EVERYBODY THAT HEY, NO LONGER IS THE TAX TO BE COLLECTED.

BUT THEIR STATEMENTS ARE LEFT BEHIND. SO WE JUST GOT THAT NOTIFICATION THAT WE'RE AT 180 MILLION DOLLARS ON THE REVERSE. WE PUT OUT A PRESS RELEASE AT SUCH. SO WE'RE MAKING COMMUNICATION WITH THE STATE RIGHT NOW TO DETERMINE YES, WE HAVE MET THAT HUNDRED TWENTY AND IF WE HAVE WHAT'S THE MECHANISM IN THE

TIMEFRAME TO TURN OFF THIS FAUCET? >> WHAT HAPPENS TO THE EXCESS FUNDS OF THOSE PER THE STATE STATUTE ON THE SALES TAX? THIS WOULD BE TOWARDS THE FINDING PROCESS IN THE SHORT RUN WHICH WE KNOW THERE IS THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE IN THE

[01:30:05]

GLOVER YEAH. I'VE ALREADY SAID ONCE TIME WAS OH THERE YOU GO.

I JUST WANT TO THANK BRITTANY WAS IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS. SLADE TALKING ABOUT ATHLETES I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU. BOY FOR THE JOB AND WHEN DEALING WITH THE VERY LIVELY CROWD OF WONDERFUL MR. SOMMER DID THEY? IF THE MILLER DRIVE AND SUNSET TRAFFIC CIRCLE PROCEDURE THAT STILL DOESN'T SPEAK TO THE INTERSECTION OF SUNSET AND TWENTY ONE. SO HOW CAN YOU PUT A LIGHT THERE WITHOUT VIOLATING THE ACCESS MANAGEMENT PLAN BECAUSE THERE'S GOING TO BE WANTED. REALLY? AND THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE. YES. SO WE'RE CURRENTLY WALKING

THROUGH THE CORRIDOR PROJECT AS IT'S WHOLE AS A HOME. >> THE MERIDIAN LINE IS WARRANTED DUE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF WHITEHALL. AND THEN WE HAVE THE SCADA TO INTERSECTION LIGHT. THERE DOES NEED TO BE A LIGHT SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN WHETHER THAT IS AT HUMANS OR IF THAT'S AT SUNSET. SO RIGHT NOW AT THE TIME IT HAS

NOT BEEN DETERMINED WE CAN. >> BUT I MEAN CAN YOU EVEN PUT ONE AT SUNSET WITHOUT VIOLATING THE ACCESS MANAGEMENT PLAN ON THE SPACING? YES INDEED.

SPEAKING OF ENVIRONMENTS YOU LAP RIGHT NOW IS NOT WARRANTED BASED ON THE UNIT DESIGN WE'LL HAVE IT DESIGN AS GOOD DESIGN IF IT IS REMAINS AS THAT IS AVAILABLE.

BUT THERE'S NOT A SINGLE MOTHERS THERE WOULD BE DEVELOPED SO THAT IF THERE WAS A NEED VERSUS YOU KNOW IT'S JUST THE INPUT IT'S NOT INCONSISTENT WITH THE ACCESS.

>> THAT WAS MY QUESTION. YEAH I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T DECIDED TO PUT ONE THERE BUT IF YOU DID IT WOULDN'T KNOW IT IS THE SPACING IS APPROPRIATE TO OTHERS.

AND REGARDING THE OVERALL LADIES ISLAND IMPROVEMENTS THOUGH THE CONTRACTS FOR THE

ACCESS ROADS AND CORRIDOR ARE RUNNING SIMULTANEOUSLY. >> THE CORRIDOR IS GOING TO TAKE A LOT LONGER AND THE ACCESS ROADS WILL COME FIRST AS YOU CONSTRUCTION AND COMPLETION. THAT IS YOU. THOSE ACCESS ROADS ARE GOING TO BE USED TO ALLEVIATE ANY CONCERN, ANY CONSTRUCTION CONGESTION THAT WILL HAPPEN DURING THE TIME OF THE CORRIDOR ITSELF. WHAT DO YOU CALL IN THE ACCESS

ROAD ON THE. >> YEAH. MILLER HIS FARM GAY DRIVE.

>> MORE ACCESS FROM ONE OF THOSE QUESTIONED BACK AT THE LADY'S ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL.

IS THAT WHERE ARE ON THAT PROJECT CURRENTLY? >> RIGHT NOW WE ARE GOING TO BE DOING OUR SERVING SOON. WE HAVE AGREED THAT WE ARE GOING TO DO WITH THAT NEW REALIGNMENT ACROSS THE STREET FROM GAY DRIVE. WE'VE WORKED WITH THE SCHOOL WHEN THEIR CONCERNS IS PEDESTRIAN ACCOMMODATION ON ROBIN DRIVE.

>> SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR ENGINEERS TO GET A SCOPING FEE FOR ROBIN DRIVE TO INCLUDE A PEDESTRIAN ACCOMMODATION AND ONCE WE SETTLE ON THAT THEN WE'LL GO AHEAD AND PROCEED.

>> WELL YOU'RE HERE ON SERVING ON THE GETS OUT. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M STILL MORE GOING ON

TRANSPORTATION. >> THAT'S WHERE WE ARE TODAY. WELL, I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT IS WHERE WE'RE GOING AND IF IF TRASH COMES TO CINDY THEN ROADS COME TO ME.

SO I DIDN'T SCORE VERY WELL ON S.A.T. BUT I DID REALLY GOOD ON THOSE COMPARISON STATEMENTS SO

. >> ALL RIGHT. >> THE VISION SORRY CLICKER THE

VISION. >> I HAD A HARD TIME WRITING THIS VISION BECAUSE I COULDN'T PUT ALL THAT WAS IN MY GRAY BRAIN MATTER ON PAPER BUT I'LL GIVE IT A WHACK.

SO HERE IT IS PROVIDE AN EXCEPTIONAL RUNWAY NETWORK TODAY THAT IS MORE PREPARED MORE THAN PREPARED FOR OUR TRAFFIC OF TOMORROW. SO I THINK SOMEBODY I THINK IT WAS JOHN O'TOOLE OR EARLIER SAID IN THE WEEK THAT BEAUFORT COUNTY REMINDS HIM OR SOMEONE WHOEVER HE IS REFERRING TO OF WHAT CHARLESTON WAS 30 YEARS GO AND I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH

THAT. >> I THINK WE'RE SET ON A ROCKET SHIP READY TO READY TO TAKE OFF. I FEEL LIKE THAT THE TRAFFIC HERE TODAY IS NOT BAD BUT IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE BAD IF WE DON'T GET AHEAD OF IT AND BE PROACTIVE.

I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT LIVE IN WEST ASHLEY AND JAMES ALLEN AND SOMERVILLE AND YOU COULDN'T PAY ME TO LIVE THERE. I JUST IT'S A TRAFFIC NIGHTMARE AND I LIVE COMFORTABLY FAR ENOUGH AWAY THAT I CAN GET IN CHARLESTON WITHOUT LIVING IN TRAFFIC AND I DON'T WANT PEOPLE

SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT BEFORE COUNTY. >> SO ANOTHER WAY I WAS TRYING TO ENVISION I CAN COME UP WITH WORDS TO PROPERLY SAY THIS AND I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT TRANSPORTATION SO I'M PROBABLY WHEN WE WALK AROUND AND GET INTO IT A LITTLE BIT MORE.

SO THE BEST EXPRESSION THAT I CAN THINK OF IS I WANT IT TO BE INSTANTLY RECOGNIZABLE WHEN YOU SHOW UP IN THE BEAUFORT COUNTY. YOU'RE ON A WORLD ABOVE AS FAR AS OUR CLASS ROAD WAS.

SO IF YOU'RE DRIVING DOWN AT 90 FAST HEADED SOUTH, YOU GO ACROSS THE SAVANNAH RIVER BRIDGE AS SOON AS YOU LAND IN GEORGIA AND YOU IMMEDIATELY KNOW THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN

[01:35:07]

THE ROADWAY. >> I WENT ON THAT SAME LEVEL OF EXPRESSION TO BE IN BEAUFORT COUNTY AND THAT'S NOT A SLAM ON DUTY DOJ HE HAS A GREAT JOB. THEY JUST HAVE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ROADS MORE SO THAN THAN GEORGIA OF OUR GEORGIA FRIENDS DO.

SO THEY DO A TREMENDOUS JOB BUT THAT'S THE LEVEL OF DIFFERENCE THAT I WANT OUR ROADS DURING

GOOD SHAPE AND I WANT TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE. >> AND THAT'S NOT JUST FOR OUR COUNTY ROADS BUT THIS IS ALL ROADS APART WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ENGINEERING THERE.

BYE BYE, ROB. IN THE MASTER PLAN WE WANT TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT OUR ROADS. A HOLISTIC APPROACH, A RESILIENCY APPROACH, A MOBILITY APPROACH. BUT WHEN I A ROADS I'M TALKING ABOUT DUTY ROADS.

I'M TALKING ABOUT COUNTY ROADS AND I'M TALKING ABOUT MUNICIPALITY ROADS.

WELL, MY GOAL IS THAT WE HAVE A ROAD SYSTEM THAT'S SO PRISTINE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ONE POTHOLE AND BEEF FOR COUNTY. AND I KNOW THAT SOUNDS CRAZY AND WE CAN NEVER MAKE THAT HAPPEN. BUT I MEAN THAT WE'RE SETTING THE BAR HIGH.

WE'RE AIMING FOR THE MOON. IF WE HIT STARS WE'RE STILL DOING PRETTY GOOD.

>> SO WITH THAT I MENTIONED THIS IN THE VIDEO EARLIER THAT IT IS THE PERFECT TIME RIGHT NOW FOR TRANSPORTATION PLANNING. WE'VE GOT A LOT PLANS THAT ARE INTERACTING THAT WE'RE PUTTING THE SAME LIST THE PREVIOUS TOGETHER.

SO FIRST IS ENVISION BEAUFORT OUR 10 YEAR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. WE TOOK WHAT WE SAW IN YEARS WHERE THE ROAD PROJECTS AND STUFFED HIM IN THE BACK INTO THAT PLAN.

SO IF YOU READ THROUGH THAT LIST, THEY'RE ALL THERE. THE SECOND IS OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS LESS SO LET'S IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THEIR FIVE YEAR UPDATE TO THEIR LONG RANGE 20 40 TRANSPORTATION PLATE. THIS THEY'RE LOOKING AT JASPER COUNTY, COUNTY EVERYTHING.

SO THEY'RE LOOKING AT MAJOR ARTERIES. AGAIN, WE PROVIDED THEM ALL OF OUR DATA AND SAY THESE WAS A ROUTE THAT WE THINK ARE IMPORTANT PLEASE INCORPORATE INTO YOUR PLAN AND THEY HAVE DONE SO. THE THIRDLY IS IMPACT FEES.

WE HAVE AN EXISTING IMPACT FEE BUT TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEES ARE TIED TO A CFP SCHEDULE.

SO WE HAVE TAKEN THE EXISTING IMPACT. CARRIED THOSE BOARDS.

WHAT PROJECTS HAVE WE NOT COMPLETED? WHAT PROJECTS ARE OF INTEREST THAT WEREN'T ON THAT AND COMPILED THAT? THESE ARE NOT THREE INDEPENDENT LIST. THESE ARE IN THE SAME ROADS ON EVERY PROJECT.

IT JUST GETS LAYERED AND LAYERED AND LAYERED BUILD IN THE CASE HERE AND WE'RE ABOUT READY TO CUT THE KNIFE AND SCOOP OUT NEEDED IMPACT FEES. THIS IS ANOTHER EXCUSE ME JUST SAID IMPACT FEES. THE THREE YEAR CFP. SO THIS IS A MORE REFINED APPROACH OF OUR DIRECT THREE YEAR. SO WE'VE GOT A 10 YEAR PLAN IN THE CFP BUT THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO NEXT. BUT SEASON 3 BUDGET SEASONS.

AND THEN LASTLY A SALES TAX. SO WE TALKED ABOUT A 22 SALES TAX IF THAT'S OPINION AND THAT'S WHERE WE HIT THE GREAT. BUT AGAIN, THESE ARE NOT GONNA BE A NEW ROAD.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THESE FOR THE FIRST DOWN THE ONE 70S OF THE WORLD.

THESE ARE THE ROADS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ON THIS LIST AND ARE ALREADY THERE.

SO ANYWAYS WE ARE MOVING A HIT . >> SECONDLY IS HOW DO WE GO TO

FUND THIS? >> SO YOU'VE HEARD ME SAY THIS BEFORE A BILLION DOLLARS OVER

10 YEARS. >> THAT IS A HUGE NUMBER. I GET IT.

BUT LISTEN, LET ME LET ME TRY TO EXPLAIN. YES.

YESTERDAY WE TALKED ABOUT OUR BUT OUR BUDGET IS ONE POINT NINE TRILLION TRILLION WITH A T. SO THAT IS A THOUSAND BILLION. THAT IS A MASSIVE NUMBER OF INCOMPREHENSIBLE BUT LET'S COMPARE IT BACK IN THE 90S WE WERE DOUBLE OH WE GOT INFRASTRUCTURE BY 900 UPS MILLIONS. AND THEN IN 2000 WE HAD A RECESSION 2007 7 8. SO WE PUT OUT OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE WE OH WE'RE GONNA DO 500 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF INFRASTRUCTURE BE BUILDING.

NOW 2020 WE SAY THE WORD TRILLION THE WEATHER TEAM WHO KNOWS WHAT MY KIDS AND

GRANDKIDS SAY I DO. >> THERE WASN'T ANY OF US TO EFFORT THROUGH IT.

I THINK IT'S FLAT BRAIN DRAIN. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ZEROS IT HAS.

A LOT OF ZEROS. >> SO WHAT I'M GETTING TO IS WE'RE IN A WORLD WHERE TRILLION IS THE NEW MILLION. OUR BILLION AND BILLION IS NEW MILLION.

SO BILLION DOLLARS SOUNDS REALLY SCARY BUT IT'S REALLY NOT.

SECONDLY, I REALIZE THAT WE'RE NOT PLAYING THE SAME GAME THAT KIDS ARE.

>> THEY'VE GOT MONEY PRINT PRESS AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT LITTLE WEIRD TO ADD TO OUR INCOME TAX AND PROPERTY TAX AND SALES TAX NOT INCOME TAX. SCUSE ME BUT SO WE HAVE WE'RE PHYSICALLY CONSTRAINED NOT LIKE THE FIT HOWEVER THEY ARE PLAYING THAT GAME.

AND IF WE'RE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL WE HAVE TO PLAY THE SAME GAME I.E. SPINNIN OR WE'RE GOING TO GET PUSHED OUT OF THE COURT. SO SITTING AROUND AND SAY YOU KNOW, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD PLAN BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

WELL, SOMEBODY ELSE IS GONNA STICK THEIR HAND UP AND GRAB THAT MONEY.

ONE THING I DIDN'T MENTION IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL. SO AS YOU SEE THERE, THESE ARE DIFFERENT FUNDS. SO THE FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN SALES TAX.

SO WE'RE THINKING IN ABOUT 50 MILLION DOLLARS. WE HAD A FOUR YEAR PROGRAM.

WE SAID 30 MILLION. WE'RE TAKING IN 50 MILLION. THAT'S A GREAT, GREAT PROBLEM TO HAVE WHICH WE HAD FOR MILLIONS OF FAMILIES. BUT WE GET PAST ANYHOW.

SO IF WE DID 10 MILLION AS 5 MILLION DOLLARS THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF MONEY BUT THAT'S

[01:40:03]

WE'RE COMMITTED. YOU'VE GOT APPROVED BY A LARGE MAJORITY THAT PEOPLE SUPPORT THE IDEA OF MOVING THIS BRIDGE. SO THEN WE SAY HEY DFT, WE'VE GOT THIS GREAT IDEA.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? SO LET'S SAY HOW ABOUT WE GIVE YOU 40 HOUR 40 MINUTE OPTIONS? SO NOW WE'VE GOT 80 MILLION DOLLARS PLUS THEY'RE 20 OR 40 SO WE'VE GOT 120 MILLION THAT'S STILL NOT HALF WAY TO 240 MAY NOT BRIDGE YOU. LET'S LET'S HANG THIS CARRIED UP IN FRONT OF MR. ZIP. MR. STEELE, WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR THEY SAY, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GREAT PROJECT YOU GET IN THERE THAT'LL BE A GREAT INITIATIVE FOR OUR STATE.

SO THEY SAID ALL RIGHT, I'LL MATCH YOU 50/50 AND I'LL COME UP WITH A HUNDRED TWENTY MEN AND NOW I'VE GOT 240 MILLION DOLLARS. BUT WE DIDN'T START WITH 240 MILLION DOLLARS THEN. ALL RIGHT, MR. TROUTMAN AND BE PROUD OF ME.

PROFESSOR KATHRYN, I'M A LITTLE BIT OF MATH DISTRESS MEANS MATH ENGLISH.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. DIDN'T MATTER. SO WE GOT SALES TAX AND IT'S

120 MILLION DOLLARS. >> WE GOT 80 MILLION TOWARDS GREECE.

I'M TOLD THAT 70 PERCENT OF THE SALES TAX THAT WE TAKE IN IS FROM OUT OF TOWN.

SO IF YOU GO WITH THAT RELIEF AND THEIR DEBT IS DONE, THERE'S FOCUS SEXUAL GROWTH.

SO YOU DEFICIT THAT MEANS 30 PERCENT IS ACTUALLY WHAT WE COME OUT.

SO 30 PERCENT OF A MILLION DOLLARS 24 MILLION DOLLARS 24 MILLION DOLLARS 240 MILLION DOLLARS IS 10 PERCENT. SO IF YOU HAD SOMEBODY SAY HEY, I GOT THIS DEAL, I'LL GIVE YOU NINE DOLLARS BILLION ONE DOLLARS. THAT'S A NO BRAINER.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE WE NEED TO BE. HOWEVER, IT DID NOT START LAST IT STARTED AS A CONCEPT THAT WE CAME UP WITH HEY, WE NEED TO REPLACE OUR BRIDGES.

THE WASN'T KNOCKING ON DOOR AND GIVING US 40 MILLION DOLLARS. IT WASN'T KNOCKING ON THE DOOR.

WE STARTED WITH THE CONCEPT AND SAID HEY LOOK HERE WE HAVE AN IDEA BUT IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL WE'VE GOT TO PUT OURSELF OUT THERE. WE'VE GOT TO PLOW THE DERRICK A LITTLE BIT. WE GOT TO STEP ONE STEP TWO INSTEAD THREE.

ALL THIS ON THE HOCUS POCUS IF WE'RE GONNA BE SUCCESS AND THAT'S AND THAT'S A SCARY PLACE TO BE. BUT THAT'S WHERE WE LIVE EVERYBODY UP HERE IN INFRASTRUCTURE AND ENGINEERING DIVISION. WE MOVE FORWARD.

WE JUST TALK ABOUT WHAT STILL IS MATCHED BY I DON'T KNOW HOW 200 300 MILLION DOLLARS BUT WE'RE GOING TO START WITH 15 MILLION DOLLARS AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE 15 MILLION DOLLARS FROM BUT WE'RE GOING TO START AT ONE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS AND GET STARTED ON THE DESIGN. THAT'S HOW INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS AND THAT'S OUR TRANSPORTATION IS GONNA WORK. SO AGAIN BACK TO TRANSPORTATION.

SO FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS THAT DOESN'T COVER A BILLION DOLLARS.

BUT WHAT IT DOES IS SAY THAT WE'RE COMMITTED THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TO US LOCAL.

WE GO FIND OUR FRIENDS AT THE STATE, WE GO FIND OUR FRIENDS AT THE FED AND SAY HEY, HELP US BUILD OUR DREAM. AND THEY LOVE INVESTING IN THIS KIND OF STORY THAT SO THE BILLION DOLLAR BEAUFORT BILLION OF IS NOT IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE'RE VOTING ON.

THIS IS A CONCEPT THAT WE COME UP WITH AND IT'S AN ACTUAL FEASIBLE PLACE THAT WE CAN GET TO. WE'VE GOT IMPACT FEES THAT HELPS THAT HELPS US GET GOING.

WE HAVE GEO BOMB CAPACITY. WE HAD THE FEDERAL INFRASTRUCTURE BUILD NOT LISTED AS CTC ATTACK FUNDS. ALL THOSE ARE APPLICABLE SOURCES BUT NOT OWNED BY THEMSELVES ARE ENOUGH. BUT WHAT WE HAVE IS A CONCEPT THAT IF IF WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT CONS THAT WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL TO ENSURE THAT NOT TODAY AND NOT IN 30 YEARS ARE WE EVER GOING TO LIKE JAMES OR SOMERVILLE OR NORTH CHARLESTON AND ATTRACTIVE TO THEIR LAND OR

MT. PLEASANT OR MOUNT PLEASANT? >> EXACTLY. WE WANT TO MAINTAIN WHAT WE HAVE. WHAT WE HAVE TODAY IS GREAT. AND BEFORE COUNTY THE WAY WE LIVE WORK PLAY THE WAY WE DRIVE TO WORK THE WAY WE DRAFTED TO GO PLAY ON ON OUR WATERWAYS AND WE WANT TO PRESERVE THE WAY WE PRESERVE THAT IS BY ACTING TODAY WITH A PLAN MOVING FORWARD AND THEN IMPLEMENTING THE PLAN. AND THAT'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL. SO I KNOW THAT'S A LOT OF ME TALKING AND I'M A BIG IDEA GUY.

THAT'S WHAT I DO. I TELL IT ALL THE TIME. I GET TOLD A LOT OF THOSE BUT I'M OKAY WITH THAT BECAUSE AGAIN KNOWS NOT A FAILURE IN MY MIND IS JUST A NEXT STEP TO GET INTO A YES AND THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED. SO WITH THAT, ANDREW, IF YOU CAN COME TELL US HOW YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS VISION AND START AND WOMEN WITH OR WITHOUT FUNDING WE'RE GOING TO START IMPLEMENTING COME TELL US ABOUT THAT.

HERE AND MORNING COUNCIL AND JARED, I. WHAT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT YOU'RE OKAY WITH NO I AM WORKING WITH THE COMPANY HERE AND ARRESTED AND IS NOT SURE HE DOESN'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. BUT SO I'M I'VE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION

[01:45:03]

OF THE VERY BEST CONSULTANTS AND ENGINEERS. >> THEY WILL BECOME A A AN EXTENSION OF OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT, AN EXTENSION OF OUR ENGINEERS STAFF AND TO THAT END OUR FIRST PRIORITY WILL BE TO HIRE A PROGRAM MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WRITTEN AND EXPLAINED WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THE 2018 PENNY PROGRAM AND IT HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL THIS THIS PROGRAM MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT WOULD DO SUCH SERVICES AND HELP OUR DEPARTMENT OUT WITH PROJECT MANAGEMENT SCHEDULING ESTIMATING BUDGETING VALUE ENGINEERING DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT ABILITY REVIEWS HELPING WITH PUBLIC OUTREACH

PERMITTING GRANT OPPORTUNITIES AND AGENCY COORDINATION. >> IN ADDITION TO THAT OUR VISION IS THAT THIS PROGRAM MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT WOULD HELP US SOLICIT OUR ON CALL CONSULTS AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE WE HAVE AN IDEA TO HAVE FOUR CATEGORIES OF ON CALL CONSULTANTS. THEY WOULD BE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING CAN CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND INSPECTION RIGHT OF WAY AGENTS AND TRAFFIC ENGINEERING.

THE NUMBER IN PARENTHESES IS ALREADY AT OUR IDEA OF HOW MANY OF THESE VENDORS AND CONSULTANTS THAT WE WOULD WANT TO HAVE IN EACH GROUP. NOW WHAT THIS DOES FOR US BY HAVING MULTIPLE CONSULTANTS AND ENGINEERS IS IS REALLY THREE KEYS.

>> NUMBER ONE, A DIVERSITY OF HAVING DIFFERENT FIRMS TO WORK WITH.

AND IT ALSO BRINGS INTO THE COMPETITIVENESS WHEN PROJECT COME UP AND AND WE WORK WITH THESE CONSULTANTS AND IT KEEPS COMPETITIVENESS AND SECONDLY IT IT PREVENTS US FROM OVERLOADING

IN INDIA VISUAL ENGINEER OR CONSULTANT. >> THEY HAVE A CERTAIN BANDWIDTH IN THEIR OFFICE FOR FOUR PROJECTS THEY CAN WORK ON AND WE WOULD FIT DEPENDING ON OUR NEEDS FOR THE PROGRAM. WE DON'T. AND THIRD AND I THINK ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS ABOUT HAVING MULTIPLE VENDORS IS IT HELPS US MATCH THE SPECIFIC JOBS WITH THE STRENGTHS OF THE CONSULTANTS THAT WE HAVE.

SO THOSE ARE THE THOSE ARE THE THREE THREE MAIN REASONS FOR HAVING MULTIPLE ON CALL

CONSULTANTS. SO WHERE ARE WE NOW? >> WE HAVE ADVERTISED FOR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING THAT IS IN PROCESS AND WE HAD GREAT TURNOUT.

>> WE HAD I BELIEVE A LEVON RESPONSE TO OUR SOLICITATION ALL VERY HIGHLY QUALIFIED LOT OF LOCALS, A LOT OF NATIONALS. GREAT INTEREST. VERY ENCOURAGING.

WE WENT THROUGH THE EVALUATION PROCESS AND WE HAVE THREE OF THEM REALLY ROSE TO THE TOP AND NEXT WEEK WE'RE GOING TO SIT DOWN AND START TALKING TO THEM ABOUT SCOPE OF SERVICES ALREADY AND THEIR FEE PROPOSAL . SECONDLY, UNDER WE'RE WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF PUBLISHING OUR ADVERTISING TO ADVERTISE FOR OUR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT THAT SHOULD GO OUT NEXT WEEK PROBABLY COME IN THE END OF DECEMBER.

>> OUR GOAL ON BOTH TRAFFIC ENGINEERING AND GETTING A PROGRAM MANAGEMENT CONSULTING ON BOARD IS THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2022 MAYBE THE END OF THE FIRST QUARTER BEGINNING OF THE

SECOND QUARTER. >> SO WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT THIS PLAN AS WE HAVE LAID OUT HERE GETTING A TEAM OF THE VERY BEST CONSULTANTS AND ENGINEERS TO BE PART OF OUR TEAM WILL BRING US TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN IMPLEMENT, WE CAN IMPLEMENT AND BE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PLANS THAT JERRY QUESTIONS ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER 5 3 3 ON THE SLIDE .

>> I MEAN YOU SAID TRAFFIC ENGINEERING YOU INTERVIEWED LIVE AND YOU'RE YOU'VE GOT THREE. WHAT ABOUT RIGHT AWAY AGE AND CONSTRUCTION, ENGINEERING INSPECTION, ENGINEERING AND DESIGN. SO WE ARE GOING TO WHEN THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT IS ON BOARD, WE ARE PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST DUTIES WE HAVE THEM WORK ON IS TO HELP US PUT THE SOLICITATION TOGETHER FOR A COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES FROM THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING INSPECTION AND RIGHT AWAY.

[01:50:01]

>> SO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THOSE KIND OF OFF TO THE SIDE AND HAVE OUR OUR MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT HELP US WITH THAT. WHAT ARE THOSE PARENTS MEDICAL

NUMBERS MEAN? >> IF YOU HAVEN'T INTERVIEWED ANYBODY.

SO IF WE IF IF WE IF IF HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF AND WE THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE GETTING 8, 9, 10, 11 PEOPLE RESPONDING TO THIS, THEN OUR GOAL WOULD BE TWO IN THE DESIGN AND ENGINEERING IS TO BRING FIVE CONSULTANTS ON BOARD AND WE HOPE THAT, YOU KNOW, WE GET WE CONTINUE TO GET THE PARTICIPATION AND THE INTEREST FROM THE CONSULTANTS TO TO TURN IN. BUT WITH THE PROGRAM THAT WE HAD INTEREST IS ALREADY THERE IT IS. THEY ARE THE HARDEST OF THE LAST YEAR.

WE GET TONS OF PEOPLE AGED IS HOWARD YOU'VE PROBABLY ALREADY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BUT THINKING REGIONALLY AND CONSOLIDATION A WHOLE LEMONIS SPOUSES CAN PARTICIPATE.

ONCE YOU HIRE OR IF THEY WANT TO ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE SMALLER SPECIALTIES SO THAT THEY CAN UTILIZE THIS TOO. I MEAN IT IS A GREAT GREAT IDEA AND IT'S SO NECESSARY.

I MEAN WE ALL HAVE EXPERIENCED IN THE THE FRUSTRATION AS FAR AS TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION JUST DEALING WITH ALL THE BUREAUCRACY AND TO HAVE CONSULTANTS COME DO THAT WITH YOU AND HELP YOU. SO BE A GREAT IDEA BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE COMBAT COUNSELORS RIGHT. AND THEN ALSO WORKING WITH URBAN ESPECIALLY FRIENDS THAT THEY CAN GET BACK OUT THERE BEFORE THEY PICK BACK. HOW ARE YOU IN AS LONG AS IT MEETS THE I WAS ON AND THEY CAN PAY YOUR AS THEY GO MAYBE. YEAH I'LL HOPEFULLY.

THANKS. THE OTHERS I JUST JARED'S PRIVATE THEIR PRIOR SLIDE YOU MAY NOT WANT THIS ONE IN PUBLIC TOO MUCH BUT I THINK YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING NOW AND YOU'RE ALWAYS GONNA BE ONE OR TWO OF THESE WHICH ARE KIND OF IN THE BACK OF YOUR MIND IS A POTENTIAL CIB PROJECT AND YOU KNOW THE 1 7 DP SEEMS TO BE STARTING TO RISE TO THAT LEVEL WHERE WE CAN COORDINATE WITH JASPER LOOK AT WE KNOW IT'S A FAILING HIGHWAY AND WE KNOW WE HAVE TO DO IT AND SO THE SOONER WE GET STARTED ON THE ENGINEERING THE MORE COMPETITIVE WE'RE GONNA BEAT IT PERHAPS GO TO THE STATE AND GET SOME MONEY.

SO YOU'RE I GOING TO HAVE ONE OR TWO OF THOSE IN YOUR BACK POCKET?

I THINK THEY MAY PLAY A ROLE. >> OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE GOING TO RAISE PRICES THOUGH THEY'RE GOING TO BE AN IMPORTANT AS JUST AS FRAME REFERENCE IS THE DIRECT ALLOCATION FROM STATE HOUSE THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND THEY SAY COMMERCE BUILDING INJECTS INTO THE ECONOMY. SO THAT'S WHAT IT DOES TO THAT JUST GIVES YOU ANOTHER WHEREWITHAL TO KNOW WHAT THEY THOUGHT ABOUT OUR TROOPS IN THE MR. GLOVER.

>> OH YES. I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS YOU MADE ABOUT PROBLEMS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN THE CHARLESTON AREAS DENTAL BEACH WHO LIVES OF THE MALL KNOWS ABOUT THAT SEVERAL YEARS USE AGO GO TO MAKE SURE NOTHING ELSE THAT WE'VE PLANNED FOR TRANSPORTATION MOVING PEOPLE AROUND. SO I COMMEND YOU FOR MOVING AHEAD WITH THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A WARNING THAT HE GAVE AND I GUESS HE WAS LIVING IT RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. THAT AND IS GREAT BUT THE

DELAYED IMPLEMENT PLASTERS AND FLIGHT SO APPRECIATE THAT. >> ANYONE ELSE ONLINE TO SEE NONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

OUR CHAIRMAN WE HAVE TWO MORE THINGS TO MORE PUNCHES TO THROW AT YOU IF YOU WANT US TO DO THAT NOW WE CAN WE CAN GET THROUGH THEM. I THINK THEY'RE NOT QUITE AS

BIG AS WE CAN GET THROUGH IT. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GONNA CARRY ON.

SO PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT THEY'RE ONE OF THE BIGGEST DEPARTMENTS IN THE ENGINEER DIVISION. THEY INCLUDE SEVERAL SUB DEPARTMENTS SO STORM WATER ROADS AND DRAINAGE TRAFFIC COPS FLEET MAINTENANCE GROUNDS MAINTENANCE, GENERAL SUPPORT

AND DISASTER RECOVERY. >> THERE'S A LOT OF I HAD TO MEMORIZE THAT.

SO HOWEVER WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO TALK. THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON. GREAT. SO WE PICK ONE SHINY OBJECT THAT WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WORTHWHILE TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL THE DAY AND THAT IS ELECTRIC VEHICLES. SO NEEDLESS AT WORST DIRECTOR HERE HERE AND HE'S GONNA TELL

US WHERE WE ARE ON THAT VENTURE. >> THANK YOU.

GOOD MORNING. COUNCIL MEMBERS. >> SO REAL QUICK.

>> WHAT'S THE VISION OF THIS PROJECT? THE VISION HAS BECOME THE FIRST COUNTY IN SOUTH CAROLINA TO CONVERT ELECTRIC FLEET TO GIVE YOU A BRIEF TIMELINE OF HOW WE GOT HERE WAS BACK IN THE LATE SPRING, EARLY SUMMER. JARED TASKED ME TO START TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES. I ONE THE THINGS I QUICKLY NOTICED THAT EVIE'S WAS NOT JUST A GROWING FAD BUT IT WAS MORE OF AN EMERGING TREND AS CLOSE AS THE CITY OF CHARLOTTE IS CONVERTING TO ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND DOING ON A RAPID

[01:55:03]

>> WITH THAT BEING SAID, A RF Q WAS KIND OF CREATED WITH A SCOPE OF WORK THAT WAS CREATED HAD SOME PEER REVIEW INTERNALLY THEN THAT WAS THEN ADVERTISED TOWARDS THE END OF JULY. THE EVALUATION TEAM THEN SHORTLISTED THREE FIRMS IN MID-SEPTEMBER AND THEN THEY WERE BROUGHT IN FOR INTERVIEWS AROUND MID-OCTOBER.

CURRENTLY THE EVALUATION TEAM IS LOOKING AT THE PRICE STRUCTURE AND KIND OF THE SCOPE OF WORK TO REVIEW THAT. THE GOAL IS TO KIND OF BRING THAT UP TO THE NEXT POST FACILITY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS. ONE OF THE THINGS TO CONSIDER ABOUT THIS PROJECT IS THAT THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO COORDINATE WITH A LOT OF EXTERNAL PARTNERS WHERE THE COUNTING CAN CONTINUE TO KIND OF THRIVE AND KIND OF ALSO

CULTIVATES LIVE WORK PLAY INITIATIVE. >> ONE OF THE THINGS TO NOTE IS JUST THIS WEEK I HAD TWO SEPARATE CONVERSATIONS ONE WITH PAUL METRO ELECTRIC AND THEY SEEM TO BE VERY MUCH ON BOARD AND KIND OF STARTED TO HAVE SOME INITIAL DISCUSSION.

THE OTHER ONES WAS MARY LOU WITH PALMETTO BREEZE AND HAVING A DISCUSSION WITH HER SEPARATELY PARTICULARLY ABOUT BUSES AND THINGS OF THAT NEXT LINE.

>> JUST QUICKLY, THE PITCHER LEFT THE PICKUP TRUCK AS THE NEW FORD LIGHTNING F 150 JUST SOME INITIAL CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME FORD DEALERS. LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO BE A COMMERCIAL KIND OF BY HEAVY DUTY TYPE VEHICLE THAT'S GOING TO BE OUT FOR THAT PUBLIC WORKS COULD KIND OF UTILIZE THE THREE PITCHERS AS ONE OF OUR CURRENT ELECTRIC VEHICLES, OUR ONLY ONE RIGHT NOW IN OUR FLEET. US RIGHT NOW HOUSED WITH CINDY AND HER DEPARTMENT.

BUT IT'S THE CHEVROLET BOLT. THAT BEING SAID ON INTO MY BRAIN COMING YOUR DAY ANSWERING QUESTIONS I KNOW I'M IN BETWEEN YOU GUYS AND LIFE. SO IT'S VERY APROPOS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THERE IS A FEDERAL INITIATIVE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

THERE WILL BE MONEY AS PART OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE BILL. SHOULD THAT EVER COME ABOUT? YES. THAT CERTAINLY IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF . ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I GUESS GIVE TO THE FIRST BULLET YOU

SAID BEGIN BEGINNING. >> HANG FOR A SECOND. GO AHEAD.

THE FIRST BULLET YOU SAID BEGIN IN MAY. I THINK YOU MEAN BEGAN AND YOU ALREADY STARTED LAST MAY. RIGHT. IT'S NOT STARTED AND THIS MAY NOT LAST MAY NOT NEXT MAY RIGHT? YEAH.

YEAH. OKAY. >> SECOND THING IS HE SAID PALMETTO IS ON BOARD. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? SO PAUL MENTAL ELECTRIC IS ONE

OF THE ENERGY PROVIDERS HERE IN THE LOW COUNTRY. >> THE OTHER ONE BEING DOMINION . YOU KNOW THE INITIAL DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM IS THEY'RE LOOKING TO PARTNER WITH US PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP FOR INFRASTRUCTURE HOW WE CAN USE THEM THEN THE NEXT GOAL IS TO OBVIOUSLY TALK TO DOMINION BECAUSE THEY'RE MOSTLY NORTH

OF THE BROAD BUT THAT THOSE DISCUSSIONS STARTED. >> MR. CUNNINGHAM YEAH.

>> I'D SAID IT POLITELY OR TWO DOWN TO BRASS BUT MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS WHY IS THIS OUR ANGLE TO GO ELECTRIC? I MEAN WE CAN HAVE DISCUSSIONS GREEN NOT GREEN.

BUT MY QUESTION IS HOW MUCH IS IT GONNA COST TO BUILD THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAINTAIN THESE VEHICLES OR A SUPERFICIAL GREEN? IS SO SUPERFICIAL IS IS NOT THE APPROPRIATE WORD BECAUSE GREEN IS ONE IT HELPS WITH OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROCESS.

BUT THERE IS THERE'S BEEN STUDIES OUT THERE AS FAR AS POLICY CLARITY.

>> I'M SORRY BUT I CAN BARELY HEAR YOU. NOT ABOUT THAT, MIKE.

I'M SORRY. >> SORRY ABOUT THAT. SO THERE HAS BEEN STUDIES OUT THERE. AS FAR AS THE LIFECYCLE. AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THE LIFE

CYCLE IN OUR FLEET CONVERSION. >> WHEN WE LOOK ELECTRIC VEHICLES, WE'RE ALREADY BUYING VEHICLES, NEW VEHICLES. SO WE'RE JUST TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE TWEEN THE ELECTRIC AND THE NEW. SO NOT THE ENTIRE COST IS THE BURDEN THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT OVER THE LIFECYCLE. SO NO GAS COSTS ELECTRICITY.

SO YOU GOT THAT DELTA THEN THE COST OF REPAIRS, EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS ALL

THOSE COMBINED. >> AND ALSO THE LIFESPAN OF THE VEHICLE.

SO RIGHT NOW WHETHER IT'S A FOUR YEAR VEHICLE BUT THIS MIGHT LAST SIX YEARS BECAUSE AGAIN LESS PARTS AND ELECTRIC VEHICLE. SO IT'S NOT JUS ACTUALLY IS BEED

THAT THERE IS COST SAVINGS. >> WE WANT TO ROLL IT OUT AND AND EXPLORE IT OURSELF.

TOUCH AND FEEL MAKE SURE THAT IS ACCURATE. BUT THAT'S PART OF THE INTENT AS WELL. SO THEN MY UNDERSTANDING IS NOT NECESSARILY ABOUT ELECTRICITY BUT JUST THE LOWER COST FOR OUR YOUTH IN THE COUNTY. YEAH, I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY IF

IT'S GOING TO BE LOWER OR EQUAL . >> BUT I THINK I THINK IT'S A

[02:00:01]

>> I'LL BE VERY INTERESTED AS THIS GOES FORWARD TO SEE WHICH VEHICLES EMERGE AS THE BEST ONE . BUT JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD IT STRIKES ME THAT THE SHERIFF'S PATROL CARS WOULD BE A GOOD ONE BECAUSE YOU HAD THE HIGH ACCELERATION, THE LOWER MAINTENANCE. THEY GENERALLY SLEEP OVERNIGHT IN THE SAME PLACE.

YOU CAN CHARGE THEM ALL AT ONE PLACE SO I'LL SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT.

BUT IT DOES STRIKE ME OFF THE TOP MY HEAD THAT MIGHT BE A GOOD ONE.

WE DON'T DISAGREE THAT I'D BE AN EXCELLENT SOURCE. WE HAVEN'T HAD MUCH MAINTENANCE HERE YET. THEY DIDN'T. WE ASKED THEM TO JOIN US ON A STUDY BUT WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THEY'LL JOIN US AS THEY START IMPLEMENTING.

THERE ARE LAW ENFORCEMENT GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ARE THROUGHOUT THE NATION THAT ARE OUR IMPLEMENTING AND THEY DO THEY DO MEET THAT NEED THEY HAPPENED LIKE ACCELERATION AND

TAKE OFF. >> SO WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT SOME POSSIBLE ABILITY FOR US.

ANY FINAL QUESTIONS? MR CHAIRMAN, GO AHEAD, MR CHONG.

THANK YOU. >> SOON IN THE SPIRIT OF THIS BEING A BUDGET WORKSHOP JUST OFF THE TOP MY HEAD AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COUNSEL SEE AS WE KIND OF GO DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE IS THE INCREMENTAL COST OF THE VEHICLES. THE INCREMENTAL COST INFRASTRUCTURE, THE OFFSETS OF ANY GRANTS OR REWARDS THAT WE GET FROM GOING GREEN TYPE INFRASTRUCTURE. THE COST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY AS OPPOSED TO JUST ADMINISTRATION. SO YOU BROUGHT OUT THE SHERIFF I THINK THAT'S A GOOD ONE AS WELL. AND THEN ALSO I'D LIKE TO I'D BE INTERESTED TO KNOW IF NATURAL GAS WAS AN OPTION AS WELL, SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE BIT CLEANER AND POTENTIALLY A LITTLE BIT LESS EXPENSIVE AND ALSO THE RENTAL COST OF ELECTRICITY VERSUS VERSUS GAS AND HOW THAT ENTER PLAYS WITH LONGEVITY OF THESE VEHICLES COST SAVINGS OVER THE COURSE OF THAT LONGEVITY. BUT THOSE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS ON THINKING IN GENERAL YOU WANT ALL THE COSTS. EXACTLY RIGHT.

WE GOT TODAY RISING AHEAD OF THAT TODAY AND OUR CONSULTANTS GONNA HELP.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES WITH THE DATA BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY AND THEY'RE GOING TO HELP PROVIDE ALL OF THAT. SO THAT'S THE INTENT OF HAVING THE CONSULTANT.

>> YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT THE NUTS AND BOLTS BIT ARE WHAT IS THE INCREMENTAL COST OR SAVINGS TO THE AVERAGE TAXPAYER AND HOW DO WE COMMUNICATE THAT AND MAKING SURE THAT WE FLUSH OUT ALL THE DETAILS SO THAT WE KNOW NOT JUST WHAT'S THE INCREMENTAL ON THE FRONT END BUT OVER THE LIFESPAN. WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT THE AVERAGE TAXPAYER FROM A DOLLAR

PERSPECTIVE. >> ABSOLUTELY. WE'LL GET THAT INFORMATION AS WE PROGRESS WITH THE PROGRAM. OKAY. I GOT ONE MORE PUNCH IS ABOUT

10 MINUTES. >> YOU'RE STILL GOOD FOR IT. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. HERE WE GO. >> THIS ONE.

THIS ONE. I KNOW TRANSPORTATION GOT ME FIRED UP A LITTLE BIT BUT THIS ONE I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT TO THIS ONE UNLIKE TRANSPORTATION AND UNLIKE SOLID WASTE OR EVEN ELECTRIC VEHICLES, I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS HARD TO BE OPPOSED TO.

AND THIS IS OUR BOAT LANDINGS. SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GREAT THINGS PLANNED AND AS YOU SEE HERE. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHICH ONE THIS ONE IS IS YOU KNOW,

WHITEHALL? >> I THINK I HAD SOME I SAY WHY CALL THIS IS AN ACTIVE FACTOR.

GREAT. THAT'S RIGHT. SO I'M TRYING TO WRITE OUR VISION. MARK, MY MAREZ IS NOW THIS IS WHAT HE'S LEADING THIS EFFORT.

HE'S NOT FEELING WELL TODAY. SO I AM I AM STANDING IN THE H IN FOR HIM.

>> SO THE VISION IS ENHANCED. THE LOW COUNTRY EXPERIENCED BY PROVIDING EXCEPTIONAL ACCESS TO OUR WATERWAYS. AGAIN, THIS WAS A LITTLE HARD TO PUT IN WORDS AND AND MY PEA BRAIN I TRY TO TRY TO MAKE SENSE OUT OF THINGS. SO THE WAY I THOUGHT ABOUT IT IS WHEN YOU GO TO A NICE RESTAURANT YOU SIT DOWN AND THEY BRING YOU THE BREAD YOU START EATING AND THEN RIGHT FOR ANDRE COMES THAT THAT SERVER THAT HOST COMES WITH IT WHETHER HE HAS THE WHITE CLOTH ON HIS NECK, HE COUNTS WITH THAT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S CALLED THE BREADCRUMB SCOOPER. YEAH. AND HE COMES AND GET THE BREAD CRUMBS RIGHT BEFORE YOU DON'T EAT IT MATTER WHAT YOU ORDER. BUT WHEN SOMEBODY COMES WITH A BREAD GROUPER YOU KNOW THAT THE NEXT MEAL IS GOING TO BE PRETTY FANTASTIC AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT OUR BOAT RAMPS . THIS IS THE THIS IS THE FEAST RIGHT BEFORE THE GOOD STUFF. RIGHT BEFORE YOU GET ON THAT WATER.

THIS IS THE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU FEEL AND WE WANT THIS EXPERIENCE TO BE LIKE NO OTHER

AND I THINK WE'VE DONE THAT ALREADY WITH OUR WHITE HORSE. >> THIS IS THE STANDARD AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE MARCHING TO SORT OF TELL YOU WHERE WE ARE. SO WE HAD THIS CONCEPT AND ADVERTISED IT. WE PUT IT OUT IN SEPTEMBER I BELIEVE WE'VE RECEIVED THREE PROPOSALS AND HAVE SINCE AWARDED THIS MASTERPLAN STUDY TO CREECH AND ASSOCIATES THEIR

[02:05:05]

FACILITIES MASTER PLAN. >> SO WE GOT A LEVEL OF COMFORT WITH THEM AND THEY PROVIDE A GOOD WORK WORK PRODUCT. SO WE'RE WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

>> SO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS MASTER PLAN FIRST THEY'RE GOING TO DO AN ASSESSMENT OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS OF ALL THE FACILITIES.

SECONDLY, THEY'RE GOING TO PERFORM THE ECONOMIC IMPACT COUNTY BOAT LAND.

AND SO COUNCILMAN HARBHAJAN, THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME NUMBERS IN THERE FOR YOU.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO ANALYZE THE CURRENT INVENTORY SPACE AND SO WE HAVE 28.

IS THAT THE RIGHT NUMBER? DO WE NEED 38? DO WE 18? THEY'RE GOING TO TELL US THAT TWO CLOSELY SPACED TOGETHER SHOULD WE LOOK AT DIFFERENT PROPERTIES? THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT ALL OF THAT.

>> NEXT THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT.

SO THEY LOOKED AT IT. >> THEY KNOW WHAT THE INDUSTRY IS.

THEY KNOW WHAT OUR STANDARD IS AND THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE US WITH RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH AND EVERY VOTE. AND MISS HOWARD, THIS INCLUDES THE ONES THE SANDS AND THE ONES THAT ARE IN THE QUESTION RIGHT NOW. THOSE ARE ALL INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE, RIGHT? WE'LL FIGURE OUT THE LONG TERM OWNERSHIP SEPARATE BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE ANALYZED AND THEN LASTLY THEY'RE GOING TO BUILD UP A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

OUT OF THIS. >> I AM NOT GOING TO LIE. THIS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN

IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE. >> IF I WAS THERE TO PUT A GUESS A MARK ON THE WALL, I'M WILL GO AHEAD AND SAY THE 50 MILLION DOLLAR PLAN OR MORE. AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE WHAT PAUL AS WE ARE WELL AWARE IS IF THAT'S OUR MODEL AND I THINK WE CAN ALL THAT'S THAT'S TOP SHELF THEN IT HAD HIGH COSTS. IT CAME IN IT COSTS A LITTLE OVER ONE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS. BUT OUT OF THAT IT ALSO HAD A COUPLE NEAT FUNCTIONS.

IT HAD STORMWATER. WE TALKED ABOUT RESILIENCY AND STORMWATER.

>> SO WE HAD UNDERGROUND ATTENTION IN THERE. THE POWER GRID SYSTEM WAS REALLY IMPORTANT. WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE SUSTAINABILITY AND LONG TERM WE'RE NOT COMING BACK AND FIXING THIS NEXT MONTH WHEN THE CONTRACTOR LEAVES.

SO IT HAS A SEVENTY FIVE YEAR EXPECTED SERVICE LIFE AND THEN IS ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY.

SO OF COURSE THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. BUT NO BETTER WAY TO EXPRESS THIS. AND WHAT THIS IS GOING TO LOOK THEN A LITTLE BIT OF A VIDEO.

SO LET'S SEE IF THIS VIDEO PLAYS. OH GOSH.

>> I HAVE CONFIDENCE. I'M JUST WONDERING IF YOU HAVE ME.

>> OK. ALL RIGHT. WE'VE GOT IT.

SO JUST SING WHEN YOU HEAR I WILL ADMIT WHEN I STARTED TO TRY TO BACKUP THE TRAILER, IT

STARTED TO GO SIDEWAYS JUST A LITTLE BIT. >> ONE MORE TIME THE MORE BEAUTIFUL . SO JUST IMAGINE THE BOAT LANDING THAT'S CLOSEST TO YOUR HOUSE. THAT'S USUALLY IN AND UNLESS YOU LIVE ON FEBRUARY 3 YOU CAN GUARANTEE LIKE THAT. BUT WHAT IF IT DID? HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE? HOW PROUD WOULD YOU BE IF YOUR BOAT LANDINGS THAT YOU AND EVERY MEMBER THAT LIVES IN THE COUNTY CAN COME AND USE THAT EVEN OUT OF COUNTERS SOMETHING TO BRAG ABOUT?

[02:10:03]

>> AND I'VE NEVER RUN A SHORT ON TIME SO I'LL JUST LEAVE ONE LAST THOUGHT THAT I HAD.

WELL, TWO THOUGHTS. FIRST, THERE'S NOT A FUNDING SOURCE FOR THIS 50 MILLION

DOLLARS DOES NOT EXIST. >> ONE MILLION DOLLARS DOES NOT EXIST RIBAUT LAND.

RIGHT NOW WE PUT IN ABOUT ONE HUNDRED ONE HUNDRED FIFTY IN BOAT LANDING MAINTENANCE FOR ALL 28 BOAT LANDINGS PER YEAR IN THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET. THAT IS IT.

THE ONLY IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'VE DONE INCLUDING PAUL ARE FROM AZTECS AND AZTECS IS GREAT BUT IT DOESN'T COVER 50 MILLION DOLLARS. SO IF THIS IS A PRIORITY AND THIS IS MY FINAL STATEMENT AND OFF THE TOP OF THE DAY I'VE HEARD A PREACHER SAY THIS BEFORE AT A SERMON IS I CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOUR PRIORITIES ARE IF YOU SHOW ME YOUR CHECKBOOK, REGISTER AND I SAY THAT JUST TO SAY THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS TODAY AND A LOT OF THINGS HAVE A MAJOR COST AND I DON'T ENVY ANY OF YOU AT ALL TO SIT IN YOUR SEAT BECAUSE THERE'S SOME MAJOR DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE OVER WHAT GETS PRIORITIZED

AND WHAT GETS. >> BUT THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT THINGS NOT THAT WE'VE BEEN PRESENTED OVER THE WHOLE WEEK THAT DESERVE MERIT AND DESERVE RECOGNITION AND DESERVE FUNDING. BUT I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE A CHANCE TO REALLY KNOCK IT OUT THE PARK AND REALLY MAKE A BIG IMPACT NOT ON TODAY LIKE SOMEBODY SAID ABOUT PLAN AND

TREE AND SHADE FOR LATER. >> I THINK YOU ALL ARE UNIQUELY POSITIONED FOR THAT AND I

APPLAUD YOU FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS. >> MR. PAUL LONG, THANK YOU.

JARED, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP LANDINGS BECAUSE I HAVE A BURNING QUESTION SINCE I WENT TO FACTOR CREEK GOAT LANDING A COUPLE WEEKS AGO OR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW IT SEEMS WHEN I DRIVE BY THERE THERE'S ALWAYS A BIG SAILBOAT PARKED AT THAT DOCK.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S PROPER USAGE. DO WE HAVE RULES REGARDING THE USAGE OF THAT AND HOW ARE THEY ENFORCED? DO I CALL WHEN WE SEE SOMEBODY PARKED OVERNIGHT OR FOR A WEEK OR ACTUALLY FOR ALMOST A MONTH? YEAH, THERE ARE RULES THAT EASE INTO PART AND NEOCON PRICE THAT SAID PUBLIC WORKS IS THE ONE THAT'S OVER THE MAINTENANCE THE MANAGEMENT OF THOSE. AND SO NEIL IS PROBABLY THE PERSON THAT NEARLY HAD AT THAT FLEW OUT THEIR ORDINANCES IN PLACE THAT ARE IN AN ALREADY IN PLACE AND ON THE BOOKS OUT OF SIGHT. BASICALLY WE WORK WITH DNR BECAUSE THOSE ARE WATERS OF THE STATE AND SO WE WORK WITH DNR WHEN THERE IS AN ABANDONED VESSEL AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THE PARTNERSHIP HAS BEEN GREAT. THEY DO THE TICKETING PROCESS AND THERE'S A FORMAL PROCESS TO TICKET AND NOTIFY THE OWNERS AND THEN WE ASSIST WITH ACTUALLY PHYSICALLY REMOVING THE VESSEL OUT FROM THE WATER AND THEY TAKE CARE OF THE DISPUTE. IF YOU GET IMPROPERLY DISPOSED OF .

APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU. SO I'LL GIVE YOU A COLONY.

NEIL AND I SAY YES. ABSOLUTELY. I THINK ANY OTHER QUESTIONS CAN MAKE A WRAP UP QUESTION FOR A COUPLE THINGS. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LIVE WORK AND PLAY AND WHEN JARED AND I TALKED ABOUT WAS LIVE WORK, PLAY AND INVEST AND AS I'VE LISTENED TO OUR CONVERSATIONS TODAY, CERTAINLY THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT ARE DRIVEN BY NEED WHICH COMES DOWN TO THE ROAD SPACE. THERE'S CERTAIN OTHER THINGS THAT ARE DRIVEN BY PAY BACKS AND SO I WAS DELIGHTED TO SEE THE SOLID WASTE PIECE FOCUSING ON PAYBACKS. CLEARLY THERE A STREAM OF MONEY COMING AT US FROM THE STATE AND FROM THE FED'S THAT WE'D BE FOOLISH NOT TO TRY TO GET OUR FAIR SHARE OF THAT.

ONE OF THE UNDERLYING FACTORS THAT YOU'VE CLEARLY COVERED ON IS THAT WE NEED TO BE SHOVEL READY. SO TO SOME EXTENT IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND SOME MONEY IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR SOME MUCH, MUCH BIGGER NUMBER LATER ON. AND AND WE JUST WANT TO BE SMART ABOUT HOW WE DO THINGS.

I THINK THERE'S CHANCES TO TAG ALONG. I'M DELIGHTED WITH THE WAY THE AIRPORT FUNDING IS STARTING TO ROLL OUT. AND I THINK WE KNOW WE GO DOWN THAT PATH. WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH JOHN BUT THE CLEARLY WE WE'VE GOT TO PROCEED AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN ON THE BASIC PIECE. BUT WE ALSO NEED TO.

WE'VE BEEN PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT JUST SHOWED UP ALMOST UNEXPECTEDLY. AND SO WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT BEYOND AND IF THERE'S SOME PIECES WE NEED THAT TO. ON THE ON THE PARALLEL, YOU KNOW, THAT'LL BE FINE.

AND I THINK ANOTHER UNDERLYING PIECE THAT JARED IDENTIFIED VERY EARLY ON WE HAVE TO CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE RISING MUCH FASTER THAN INFLATION. INTEREST BORROWING COSTS ARE LOW. SO WE SHOULD NOT BE BASHFUL ABOUT STEPPING OUT AND

[02:15:03]

BUT MY TAKE AWAY, MR. CHAIRMAN ON THIS IS IT'S LIVE WORK PLAY AND BIG NUMBERS INVEST RIBAUT PUBLIC FACILITY STANDPOINT. GREAT PRESENTATION. AND BY THE WAY, I THINK ON YOUR LAST SLIDE. HE MAY WANT TO ADD THIS CYBER CENTER TO THAT SINCE WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT THAT. SO I WOULD TAKE THAT WE WILL NOT NEED A RAMP UP AFTER MONDAY BUT IF YOU DON'T MIND, I'M NOT SEEING ANY CHAIRMAN WANTS TO DO

[7. 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Wrap-Up]

Y'KNOW AS THE STANDARD BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE PUBLIC IS USING AS THE STANDARD AS WELL.

THEY'RE SAYING WE WANT THE SAME THING. SO I APPRECIATE YOU USING IT.

THANK YOU. THERE ARE MAJOR INITIATIVES THAT WE WILL BE EVALUATING

OF COURSE DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS. >> WE WILL ASK YOU ALL TO BE GIVEN US DIRECTION. THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL INITIATIVES THAT I WILL HAVE AS COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR THAT HOPEFULLY WILL NOT CALL ANYTHING THAT I WOULD LIKE FOR

YOU ALL TO CONSIDER. >> THOSE THREE THINGS WILL BE TO CONTINUE TO FLATTEN OUR ORGANIZATIONAL CHART BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF PRESSURE ON SOME OF OUR ACA POSITIONS.

>> SO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT DOING NOW WITHOUT INCREASING THE PERSONNEL BUDGET.

I THINK IN SOME WAY AND I HAVE AN IDEA HOW TO DO THAT AND I'M WORKING ON THAT.

>> THE SECOND THING IS IS THAT WE WILL BE ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL EMPLOYEE PROGRAMS FOR OUR EXISTING WORKFORCE THROUGH OUR H.R. DEPARTMENT THIS YEAR.

ONE OF THOSE IS TO CREATE WHAT I'M CALLING AN EMPLOYEE SHADOWING PROGRAM WHERE WE HAVE FOLKS THAT HAVE DEGREES IN CERTAIN AREAS BUT THEY WOULD NOT THEY DO NOT WORK IN THOSE

DEPARTMENTS CURRENTLY. >> SO WE'RE GOING WRITE A PROGRAM THAT WILL ALLOW EMPLOYEES TO WORK WITH THEIR DEPARTMENT HEAD AND DEPARTMENT HEADS AND OTHER DIVISIONS FOR THEM TO WORK IN THOSE DEPARTMENTS FOR A PERIOD OF TWO OR THREE WEEKS TO TRY OUT JOBS

IN THOSE LOCATIONS. >> ALSO I'M TO BE CONSIDERING RE IMPLEMENTING THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS PROGRAM FOR ANY EMPLOYEES THAT WORK HERE THAT WANT TO FURTHER THEIR DEGREES THAT'S RELATED TO THAT AND MAKE SURE WE BEEF THAT UP SO THAT IT HAS WIDE APPLICABILITY WE'VE DONE IT BEFORE. BUT I DON'T THINK IT WAS ANYTHING THAT REALLY EMPLOYEES COULD UTILIZE. I'LL BE LOOKING AT DOING THAT. WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE FERRY SITUATION AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. WE'LL BE PROBABLY HAVING THAT DISCUSSION AS A PART OF THE BUDGET ON HOW TO RESOLVE THAT ISSUE TO GIVE US THE ISLAND AND AND THEN FINALLY I WILL PROBABLY BE BRINGING A PROPOSAL TO YOU ALL ON DOING SOMETHING WHEN OUR RECREATION DIVISIONS ACT PARKS PASS AND PARKS AND SOME OTHER THING RELATED TO THE BOAT LANDINGS THAT YOU JUST HEARD AND OTHER NECESSARY ISSUES SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT AS WE'RE GIVING OUT A TAX MONEY WE HAVE MAXIMUM CONTROL OF THAT AND WE'RE USING IT MAKING SURE THAT MONEY IS USED AS EFFECTIVELY AND EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE.

>> I'M STILL NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY ALL OF THAT IS TAKING PLACE RIGHT NOW.

I THINK WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OVERSIGHT. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CONTROL OVER THAT. WE DON'T HAVE THAT PROCESS PINNED DOWN AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO. SO WE'LL BE DOING THAT AS A PART OF THE BUDGET AS WELL.

SO I KNOW TODAY WAS A LONG AND TIRING AND A LOT OF STUFF BIG TICKET ITEMS.

>> I APPRECIATE YOU ALL AS PATIENTS OVER THE LAST TWO AND A HALF DAYS.

THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND YOUR FEEDBACK.

STAFF AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL I WORKED VERY HARD ON ALL OF THEIR SEGMENTS AND I'M ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO THEM. I ENJOY WORKING WITH THEM EVERY DAY.

AND I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE WHY OVER THE LAST FOR YOU TWO AND A HALF DAYS AS

TO WHY I ENJOY WORKING WITH THEM. >> WE HAVE A LOT OF TALENT HERE AND WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THAT, GROW THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE CONTINUING WHILE WE'RE WORKING ON THAT TALENT TO ALSO WORK ON OUR DIVERSITY PIECE WHICH IS ANOTHER THING THAT I'LL BE RECOMMENDING TO YOU ALL WITH THE BUDGET AS WELL.

>> HIRING A RECRUITER AND A DIVERSITY SPECIAL LIST FOR OUR H.R. DEPARTMENT SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE WE'RE OUT IN COLLEGES, TECH SCHOOLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT PROMOTING THE

[02:20:05]

RAISING QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM ME. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

>> GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY IS. >> CELIA AS WELL.

YOU MEAN YOU AND YOUR STAFF AND YOUR PRESENTATION TODAY? I THINK YOU KNOW IT WAS THAT YOU STARTED YOU STARTED HIGHLIGHTING YOUR STAFF FROM DAY ONE AND YOU CONTINUE TO DO THAT EVEN IN THIS PRESENTATION TODAY AND IT JUST SHOWS ME. I THINK ALL OF US DID.

WE'VE GOT A EXCELLENT TEAM HERE AND WE'VE GOT A TEAM THAT WANT TO GET THINGS DONE.

AND YOU KIND OF TOLD ME THAT I GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT I KEEP THEM GOING BY APPROVING AND MOVING FORWARD THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE BRINGING TO MOST OF . STEPHANIE, WHEN THE PASSIVE PARK I'VE LEARNED THAT IF SHE ASKED FOR SOMETHING I MAY AS WELL GIVE IT TO HER BECAUSE SHE'S GONNA. SHE'S AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL ASKING BECAUSE SHE GETS IT SO SHE HAS FOR THE FIRST TIME I'M JUST GONNA GIVEN TO GUYS. BUT I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU ON YOUR PRESENTATION AND YOUR STAFF AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I APPRECIATE IT. >> MY FINAL COMMENT IS IN THE LAST TWO AND A HALF DAYS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE DONE THAT HAS BEEN COMMENDABLE ONCE A MONTH YOU BRING TO US AND HIGHLIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE EMPLOYED IN BEAUFORT COUNTY THE LAST TWO AND A HALF DAYS WE HAVE SEEN THE QUALITY AND INTEGRITY AND HONESTY AND FORTHRIGHTNESS OF YOUR STAFF TO TELL US EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED TO HEAR TO MAKE THIS A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY SO THAT EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS I COMMEND

YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. THANK YOU. >> IF YOU GUYS WILL INDULGE ME FOR TWO AND A HALF MORE MINUTES, CAN YOU PULL UP THAT LAST VIDEO FOR ME?

>> WE'RE GONNA CLOSE OUT THE US AND I'LL BE DONE LUNCHES FOR YOU.

>> ALL OF YOU THAT ARE HERE IN THIS ROOM, LUNCHES IN THE SMALL CONFERENCE ROOM.

WE BROUGHT IN A FOOD TRUCK TODAY. SARAH BROUGHT IN A FOOD TRUCK TODAY TO FEED US. WE'VE MADE THAT AVAILABLE FOR THE COUNTY EMPLOYEES TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND PURCHASE THEIR LUNCH HERE AS WELL. SO WE'RE COUNTING ALL OF THAT

LOCAL BUSINESS FLAVOR SO THE FOOD'S GOOD IS GOOD. >> BLAME SARAH IF IT'S NOT, YOU

CAN BLAME ME. >> CORNER VIDEO. ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS ONE FINAL STAFF. THE CORNER WAS THE ONLY ELECTED OFFICIAL THAT TOOK ADVANTAGE

OF OUR OFFER TO DO A VIDEO. >> SO I WOULD LIKE TO FINISH UP WITH THAT.

IF IF YOU GUYS WILL INDULGE ME FOR ABOUT THREE MORE MINUTES. >> YOU NEED TO GO.

>> THAT'S RIGHT. WALKER COULD RETREAT TO THINK WE DID FANTASTIC AT THE BOTTOM.

CLICK AT THE BOTTOM, DAVID UP ACCOUNTING CORNER. TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OTHER THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS YEAR. SINCE I'VE TAKEN OFFICE. ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS WAS THE 64 OR 30 NATION REMAINS THAT WE HELD IN FIRE OUR PROPER BURIAL OR RESTING PLACE FOR THEM TO BEGIN WITH. THAT BEFORE WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE POSSIBLY NINE AND 30 FAMILIES THAT WE HAVE RETURNED THE UNKNOWNS TO THE NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US FOR WILL BE PLACED AT ME FOR NATIONAL CEMETERY MEDICAL RECORDS FOR YOUR TIME. TWENTY NINE REMAINING REMAINS THAT WE HAVE TO COUNTY A PURCHASE OF A CRIB AT FOUR FLOORS CEMETERY WHICH IS ANDERSON'S FUNERAL HOME.

[02:25:03]

DIGGING UP GRAVE SITE WE HAVE APPLIED FOR RADIATION FOR USE IN HAVING A CORONER'S OFFICE.

WE ARE WORK FOR HERE BY THAT IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. IN OCTOBER LAST NOVEMBER THAT WILL PAY 100 PERCENT OF ACCREDITATION. I'M ALREADY ACCREDITATION AUTHOR COMES ON BOARD A PART TIME WHAT I JUST WANTED. SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF CHANGES IN THE PAPERWORK. THE CORONER'S OFFICE AS WE ALL KNOW THAT AID RISES, MACHINES WILL SKYROCKETED. WE GOT A LOT DUPLICATE WORK FROM THE FUNERAL HOMES AND PLACES HOSPICE FOR INSTANCE AND I WAS ABLE TO CUT OUT PROBABLY 90 PERCENT OF THAT. SO THAT IS A BIG SAVINGS TO BE FOR.

SOME OF THE THINGS I'M LOOKING AT NEXT YEAR. YOU THINK THAT THE INCREASE IN CALLS WE HAVE A LOOK AT YOU YOU HAVEN'T ANOTHER DAY AT THE CORNER COMING ON BOARD? WELL, MY BIGGEST THING I LIKE TO SEE IS US BRING IN A FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST AND TO BE FOR CAN WE HAVE THE FACILITY ALREADY TO DO AUTOPSIES? WE NEED TO STAFF IT WITH A PART TIME AS I HAVE BEEN TALK TO ONE WHO'S WILLING TO COME DOWN AND WORK PART TIME FOR US.

IT LOOKS LIKE AND OF COURSE WE WOULD NEED APPLY SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HE NEEDS MOST OF STUFF PEOPLE ARE BRINGING WITH HIM THAT WILL SAVE YOU FROM COUNTY A LOT.

EVEN IF HE DOES, THE AUTOPSY IS THE SAME CALLS IN U.S. HE'S CURRENTLY DOING.

WE STILL SAY DEMINING ALWAYS TRANSPORT THE WEAR AND TEAR ON ALL VEHICLES AND THE MAIN THING IS INSTEAD OF WAITING FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS AN AUTOPSY TO BE COMPLETED IN USA WE CAN HAVE A COMPLETED WITHIN ONE OR TWO DAYS AND THE FAMILY REALLY NEED THAT LAST YEAR.

BUT WE PUT TWO VEHICLES LAST MINUTE I WAS ASKED TO CANCEL THEM THAT WE WOULD GET TWO FROM THE COUNTY FLEET ABOUT NEW VEHICLES. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT.

AS OF RIGHT NOW WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THEM. NOT SAYING WE'VE NOT ALREADY RECEIVED BUT IF WE GO WE WOULD DEFINITELY LOOK AT GOOD PLACE DUE TO OLDER VEHICLES THAT WE HAVE NEXT YEAR. I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. MY STAFF KNOWS THAT. NO I IN THE CORONER'S OFFICE NO LAW IS WEAK. WE ARE A TEAM. WE ALL WORK TOGETHER AND I THINK YOU GOING TO SEE MORE POSITIVE THINGS COME OUT OF THIS OFFICE.

THANK YOU. OK. THERE BEING NO FURTHER ACTION.

WE ARE ADJOURNED AND LISTEN IS MORE
