[00:00:10]
SORRY, PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE AND PEOPLE WHO ARE ON VIDEO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING TIME AWAY FROM YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS, UH, MEETING.
UH, THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE AMENDMENT TO THE AGENDA AND, UM, ONE OF THE CHANGES WILL BE THE APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.
THIS IS GOING TO BE AMENDED AND WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IS MOVING ITEM.
AND WE GOING TO MOVE THAT NUMBER SIX, SO NINE BEHIND NUMBER SIX AND EVERYTHING ELSE SHOULD GO AS OUTLINE.
ALL IN FAVOR OF THE AGENDA BEING AMENDED AS OUTLINED AND DESCRIBED.
WE'LL MOVE ON A POOL WHEN VOTED THAT DIFFERENT MEN WOULD BE CHANGED AS I DESCRIBED EARLIER.
EVERYBODY HOPEFULLY HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE AGENDA THE MINUTES.
AND UM, IF THERE IS NO CHANGES ALTERATIONS TO THIS, I HAVE A MOTION TO A SECOND.
IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECOND AND, UH, ALL IN FAVOR OF, UH, OF THE APPROVAL OF MINUTES.
WE SHOULD LET THEM INTRODUCE THEMSELVES.
UM, KEVIN, I WOULD BE HAPPY IF PEOPLE OFFICE AND I'M HERE.
YOU GUYS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT RECREATION.
DISCUSSION ITEMS. UH, PROGRAM, MR. CHRIS, AS YOU, IF YOU NEED ONE CRYSTAL PARK ON THE PUBLIC INFORMATION, OFFICER MARKETING, STANDING OFF TO THE SIDE.
SO PEOPLE DON'T TURN MY BACK, UM, SLASH HR WITH RECRUITING AND TOMMY KEEPS ME OUT OF TROUBLE ON A REGULAR BASIS.
SO IF ANYBODY NEEDS A CARD, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO ME.
AND I, UM, BEEN HERE, GOT HERE IN JUNE OR CROSSING THE EIGHT MONTH MARK.
UM, AND AS I'VE LEARNED THE COUNTY, UM, THREE THINGS POPPED OUT AT ME, UM, THAT I DID NOT UNDERSTAND FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS UNTIL I REALLY STARTED DIGGING INTO THINGS, OPEN LAND TRUST, RURAL, OR CRITICAL LANDS AND PASSIVE PARKS.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL SAME THING.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT.
UM, ROB SENT ME STRAIGHT, SLAMMED THE DOOR IN MY OFFICE AND GOT REALLY ANGRY AT HIM.
I'VE COME TO LEARN EACH ASPECT OF THOSE THINGS DO AND KIND OF, I THINK, STARTING TO INCORPORATE THEM A LOT BETTER, UM, FOR CITIZENS TO LEARN WHAT EACH ONE OF THOSE ARES, OH, THOSE ARE, UM, IT'S I NORMALLY CAGE OFF MY WIFE AND NEIGHBORS, UM, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE PERFECT EXAMPLES.
[00:05:01]
MY WIFE DOESN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THE ONLY THING SHE KNEW ABOUT WHEN WE MOVED HERE WAS THE HUSKY FERRY.LITERALLY SHE'S LIKE, I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS VERY THING, EVERYTHING ELSE.
SO I KIND OF GAUGE IT OFF OF THAT AND MY NEIGHBORS, UM, AND BROUGHT US OUT TO THE COUNTY.
SO A LITTLE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE, AND MOST OF THEM HAVE MOVED FROM THE NORTH WHERE EVERYTHING'S ALREADY PRESERVED PRETTY MUCH, EXCEPT FOR SOME HOUSES BECAUSE THEY HAVE THESE HUMONGOUS STATE PARKS, ALL THE OTHER STUFF.
SO TRYING TO GET THEM TO UNDERSTAND, UM, HAS BEEN KIND OF WHERE I GAUGE MY MESSAGING OFF OF.
UM, BUT THE AVERAGE PERSON THINKS THAT ALL THREE ARE KIND OF THE SAME OR DON'T UNDERSTAND, OR JUST KIND OF MOVE ON WITH LIFE.
WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON? OH YEAH.
I KNOW WHAT THAT IS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE USE.
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE GO TO AND THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE CAN WALK THROUGH AND DO THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
SO THAT ONE, I THINK I KIND OF SETS OFF, OFF TO THE SIDE AND SAID, OKAY, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH TAKEN CARE OF ITSELF.
THEN WHEN IT CAME TO THIS BOARD, WHAT YOU'LL SEE.
UM, AND I SAW THAT YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE TO SHARE SOME OF THE POSTS AND ISLAND PACKET COVERS EVERYTHING ELSE THAT I HAVE EMPHASIZED TWO THINGS THAT THEY'VE ARRIVED.
ONE IS OFF AND WHO'S PROVIDING THAT COST.
SO THAT IS WHAT THE MEDIA ALWAYS WANTS UPFRONT.
SO YOU'LL SEE THEM WITHIN THE, EITHER THE FIRST OR SECOND PARAGRAPH OF EVERY ONE OF OUR RELEASES, THE BUFORD COUNTY COUNCIL THROUGH THE ROLE AND CRITICAL LAND PRESERVATION PROGRAM PROVIDED FUNDING FOR.
AND THEN WE WENT INTO THE PROJECT.
SO THAT'S KIND OF HOW I'M MARKETING IT.
AND I, AT THE END OF THIS, I'D WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK BECAUSE PEOPLE VIEW THAT AS, OH, THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY'S COMING FROM.
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THE MONEY GETS THERE, BUT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY'S COMING FROM TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE, TO NOT HAVE A DEVELOPMENT GO UP IN MR. GLOVER'S BACKYARD, NOT TO HOW THEY GOT THE PASSIVE PARK AND BE ABLE TO USE THAT PASS APART.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THE VEHICLE THAT I'M USING TO CATCH THE PUBLIC'S ATTENTION, TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND.
SO DIFFERENT WAYS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT, UM, IS WE'VE SHARED ALL THIS ON NEXT DOOR, WHICH IS A VERY POPULAR, UM, SOCIAL MEDIA SITE FOR INFORMATION LIKE THIS FACEBOOK.
UM, SO MUCH, I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING WAS YOU BETTER BECAUSE I ACTUALLY JUST FOUND IT TODAY.
AND THAT WAS MY FAULT IS I DIDN'T KNOW, YOU HAD YOUR OWN FACEBOOK PAGE THAT HAD A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION ON IT.
SO WE WILL START TAGGING AND DOING ALL THOSE SOCIAL MEDIA THINGS.
WE HIRED A SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIALIST.
UM, SHE COMES FROM APPALACHIAN STATE, UM, WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA.
SO SHE KNOWS ABOUT THESE ISSUES.
SHE IS TOTALLY FOCUSED ON SOCIAL MEDIA, UM, AND INFORMING AND GETTING OUR PLATFORMS AND GROWING OUR FOLLOWING ON THAT.
UM, WHICH WILL BE A GOOD THING BECAUSE THE MORE PEOPLE WE GET FOLLOWING, THE MORE THEY SHARE, THE MORE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE PROGRAMS. AND THEN WHEN THEY SEE IT IN THE NEWSPAPER, THEY SEE THE DOLLAR THING ON TV, THEY THEN UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS.
THE BIGGEST ISSUE WITH TV IS GREAT VISUALS AND YOU HAVE GREAT VISUALS CAUSE EVERYBODY LOVES NATURAL PICTURES OF TREES AND THE OCEAN, EVERYTHING ELSE, BUT THEY ONLY NORMALLY GET 30 SECONDS ON THE DIAL-IN NEWS.
SO THEY NEVER REALLY GET INTO THE DETAILS.
BUT WHEN THEY SEE THAT AND THEY HEAR BUFORD COUNTY PURCHASE, THEY'LL START PUTTING THE THINGS TOGETHER.
UM, OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A LONG-TERM STRATEGY.
UM, THE OTHER THING THAT WE'RE STARTING, WE ACTUALLY STARTED TODAY IS WHAT WE CALL A FLICKER PAGE.
IT'S ESSENTIALLY JUST ALBUMS OF PICTURES.
UM, WHAT I'VE FOUND IN PAST JOB EXPERIENCES IS PEOPLE LOVE TO GO FIND PICTURES AND USE THEM.
SO IF I CAN PROVIDE THEM THE PICTURES WITH THE TAG UNDERNEATH IT, THERE ARE MUCH MEDIA CHARITIES, OTHER THAN ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO TALK ABOUT IT, THEY'LL START USING THEM.
AND YOU HAVE SOME OF THE BEST PICTURES.
SO THE MOST POPULAR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES IN THE UNITED STATES IS NASA.
WHY THEY HAVE AMAZING PICTURES OF PLANETS AND GASES AND EXPLOSIONS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.
RIGHT? SO NATURAL PICTURES OF YOU FOR COUNTY LEARNED VERY FAST.
THEY WANT TO USE THEM FOR THEIR PRESENTATIONS.
AND THEN IF WE HAVE A TAG IN THERE THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, THIS PLAN IS PROTECTED BY RURAL BEAUTIFUL LANDS.
SO IT STARTS THAT PROCESS, RIGHT? UM, I'M IN A, GOT VOTED VICE-PRESIDENT OF MY ALUMNI CHAPTER FOR MY FRATERNITY AND THEY WERE LIKE, WE NEED AN ACTUAL PICTURE OF HILTON HEAD.
SO IT'S JUST NATURAL PEOPLE START USING IT.
WE'LL START, START PLANNING, START PLANNING THAT STUFF.
UM, AND I THINK THIS WILL BE ANOTHER GREAT ONE TOO, IS WE GET A 32ND.
ADAM WAS CALLED GAS STATION TV.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN AT THE INDEPENDENT GAS STATIONS ABOUT PARKER'S OR WHAT THOSE SHELLS, OTHER ONES, AND PULL UP TO THE PUMP AND THEY KIND OF PLAY COMMERCIAL.
WELL, WE'VE ACTUALLY BOUGHT FOR VERY CHEAP PRICE, UM, AD SPACE ON THERE.
AND WE STARTED WITH HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS AND NOW WE'VE GROWN INTO LIBRARY MONTH, BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
AND THIS CAN BE ANOTHER THING.
CAUSE AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING FOR THOSE THINGS WITH VISUALS.
SO I CAN SEND MY TEAM OUT AND GET SOME DRONE SHOTS OF DIFFERENT PROPERTIES THAT WERE ALLOWED TO BE ON.
[00:10:01]
OF THE PART, AND THEN WE CAN PUT IN, THEY'RE BROUGHT TO YOU BY RURAL, RURAL, AND CRITICAL LAND.IT REALLY DIDN'T HIT HOME TO ME UNTIL I WAS IN NEW YORK AT THE PUMP.
UM, DIDN'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF IT, BUT IT WAS LIKE ETD.
SO I WAS LIKE, HOLD OFF THE KARDASHIANS, THIS AND I DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO ANY OF THAT.
AND THEN MY DAUGHTER WAS LIKE, OH, CAN YOU HEAR WHAT HAPPENED? AND I'M LIKE, WHY, WHY DO I KNOW THAT HAPPENED? OH, I WAS STANDING AT THE GAS PUMPS AND PUMPING MY GAS FOR, YOU KNOW, TWO MINUTES AND I HAD TO LISTEN TO WORK.
SO IT'S THE SAME THING KIND OF CONCEPT OUT HERE.
PEOPLE HAVE ACTUALLY STARTED COMING UP TO, UM, TENSION OFFICERS THAT WERE IN IT WHEN IN A COMMERCIAL, UM, HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS, OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT, THEN LIKE, HEY, I SAW YOU AS A GUEST ON THE OUTSIDE THING.
IT'S MUCH MORE, UM, COST-EFFECTIVE THAN TV COMMERCIALS.
UM, BECAUSE NORMALLY WE'LL PUT YOU ON THAT MIDNIGHT AND YOU WERE ON TV AND LOOK AT THEM TO GET THE ACTUAL, LIKE SIX O'CLOCK NEWS SLOT IS FOR COCA-COLA AND PEPSI AND THAT TYPE OF STUFF.
SO THERE'S AN ANOTHER GOOD THING THAT WE'RE DOING.
UM, AND THEN THE FINAL THING IS WE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES, UM, ON HHI TV, ALONG WITH THE COUNTY CHANNEL.
SO THE COUNTY CHANNEL BROADCASTING WE'VE STARTED TO KIND OF ZONE IN THE SHOWS TO HIT TOPICS DURING THE YEAR BETWEEN COASTLINE.
I KNOW WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON GETTING A COUNCIL MEMBER, A CHAT GOING, WE'RE ABLE TO KIND OF FOCUS ON THAT.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE THING IS I'VE TALKED TO ROB FROM, UM, HE DOES, UH, COASTAL KINGDOM.
SO IF THEY'RE EVER ON OR AROUND PROPERTY THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS, I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE HE MAKES SURE THAT IT'S PART OF THE DIALOGUE THAT GOES IN THERE.
UM, CAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER GREAT SHOW THAT'S ACTUALLY PICKED UP AND WATCH, UM, IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES.
UM, WE ALSO BOUGHT AD TIME, UM, ON HHI TV, ACTUALLY A PARTNERSHIP HAS PROBABLY A BETTER WAY TO PUT IT WHERE WE GET EVERY FOUR MONTHS, A 30 MINUTE BLOCK THAT WE CAN THEN TALK ABOUT THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND AROUND HILTON HEAD, WE GET TO RUN IT ON COUNTY CHANNEL TV, THEY RUN IT ON THEIR PROGRAM AND THEN WE CAN ALSO SHARE IT ON TV AND THEY BREAK IT UP INTO 10 MINUTE BLOCKS.
THE LAST GENERATION WE DID WAS THE LIBRARY.
AND THEN WE DID ENGINEERING TWO DIFFERENT SPOTS BECAUSE SHARON HAS TOO MUCH GOING ON THE ENGINEERING STUFF.
UM, AND BEFORE THAT I THINK WE DID, UM, PARKS AND REC AND YOU KNOW, SIMILAR SOME OTHER THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO THOSE ARE ALL THE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUT INTO THE MARKET.
THIS IS, AS YOU ALL HAVE LIVED AND LEARN, YOU'VE HEARD COUNTY IS REALLY FRAGMENTED WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT POPULATIONS KNOW ABOUT AND WHAT THEY CARE ABOUT AND HOW THEY GET THEIR INFORMATION.
I'LL SAY NEGATIVE WAY, THE COUNTY IS SET UP.
SO, YOU KNOW, MR. GLOVER HAD TO TEACH ME THAT SHAKING HANDS WAS MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE NORTH OF THE RIVER THAN PUTTING ANYTHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR DOING THOSE TYPES OF THINGS WHERE I LIVE IN BLUFFTON.
IF YOU DON'T PUT IT ON NEXT DOOR, FACEBOOK, NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE HECK YOU TALKING ABOUT.
AND THEN HELEN HAD IS KIND OF A MIX OF EVERYTHING.
TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, UM, YOU KNOW, WATCH TV, UM, DEFINITELY, UH, CABLE CABLE PEOPLE, BUT THEN THEY ALSO DABBLED MOST LIKELY BECAUSE THEIR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS ARE ON FACEBOOK.
SO THEY, THEY CATCH THAT TYPE OF THING FROM THERE.
SO THAT'S BEEN THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS MESSAGING IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTY, BUT I REALLY THINK WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION WHEN IT COMES TO THIS.
UM, AND I THINK WE'LL CONTINUE TO SEE PEOPLE RECOGNIZING, UM, YOUR WORK MORE AND MORE AS WE MOVE FORWARD NOW THAT WE GOT THESE DIFFERENT THINGS IN PLACE AND THAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT.
SO WITH THAT, I WILL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY FEEDBACK, HOW MUCH IS YOUR BUCKET? WHAT KIND OF A BUCKET DO YOU HAVE TO DO ALL THAT? SO WE CAN PINKY NEXT STORE.
SO HISTORICALLY I'VE HAD ZERO.
UM, I'M ACTUALLY PUTTING IN THE FIRST BUDGET FOR PIO.
OF COURSE THEY'RE GONNA APPROVE IT BECAUSE THEY REALLY LIKED ME BACK THERE.
UH, LUCKILY, UM, IT, UM, PATRICK HAS A, A VERY NICE BUDGET CAUSE HE NEEDS TO UPDATE HIS COMPUTERS, ALL THAT TYPE OF STUFF.
AND WE KIND OF WORK HAND IN HAND WITH BROADCASTING.
SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO THIS YEAR OUT SOME, SOMEBODY, BUT NEXT YEAR I PLAN ON ACTUALLY SUBMITTING A BUDGET, WHICH I'M DOING RIGHT NOW.
UM, AND WE'RE HOPING, UM, TO GET ALMOST ABOUT 40,000 FOR MARKETING SLASH INFORMATIONAL STUFF.
IN ADDITION TO WHAT WE ALREADY DO, THIS WAS FOR THOSE GAS STATION, TV BUYS, AD BUYING DIFFERENT THINGS ALONG THOSE LINES.
THANK YOU FOR EDUCATING ME ABOUT THOSE GAS STATIONS.
UM, AND THEN WE'VE BEEN WORKING A LOT WITH THE, AND I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE.
SO LIKE, I THINK YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE CO-OP
[00:15:01]
OPENING, UM, THAT GOT SOME REALLY GOOD MEDIA COVERAGE AND THE PEOPLE.SO OUR MARKET, EVERYONE HERE, LIKE TO SAY THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH CHAR CHARLESTON, BECAUSE NATURALLY I THINK YOU ARE IN THE SAME STATE.
HOWEVER, THE MEDIA MARKET IS SAVANNAH AND THAT'S WHERE THE SPANISH TV STATIONS COME FROM.
UH, WE HAVE OUR OWN THREE PAPERS OR PAPERS.
DO YOU WANT TO CALL THEM THAT? I'M JUST KIDDING.
UM, THAT ACTUALLY DO AND HOW I'VE DONE A MUCH BETTER JOB AT COVERING, UM, THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT AS WELL.
UM, AND THEN I CAN GET THE CHARLESTON TV STATIONS TO COME DOWN FOR SOMETHING BIG, BUT ALL THE ONES THAT SAVANNAH TALKS ABOUT, WHAT DO YOU GOT GOING ON AND SAYING, HELENA, WHAT DO YOU GOT GOING ON A LADY'S ISLAND? THAT THAT'S WHAT THEY SPECIFICALLY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WHEN THEY COME UP HERE, UM, BECAUSE THAT'S SELL TO THEIR EDITORS OR THEIR PRODUCERS FOR THEM.
UM, THEY CAN NORMALLY SNEAK IN ACROSS THE BORDER RIGHT INTO BLOCKS AND THEN SNEAK BACK OUT PRETTY EASILY.
UM, BUT THEN ALWAYS THE END, THEIR PRODUCERS WANT IT.
THEY'RE LIKE, LISTEN, THIS IS, THIS GETS SOME OF THE HIGHEST RATINGS.
THERE'S THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING ON GOOD THINGS, NOT BAD THINGS HAPPENING IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY.
NOW CHARLESTON, IF YOU GO TO A CHARLESTON TV STATION AND GO ON THE WEBSITE ABOUT BUPA COUNTY, I THOUGHT I MOVED INTO THE BRONX IN THE EIGHTIES.
LIKE IF THEY DON'T COVER ANYTHING OTHER THAN SOMEBODY GETTING MURDERED OR SOMEBODY'S HOUSE GETTING BURNED DOWN.
UM, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO THIS OTHER STATIONS ARE MUCH BETTER AT THAT.
UM, AND SAVANNAH AND THEY REALLY DO ESPECIALLY WTOC AND, UM, WSAV, THOSE ARE THE TWO REALLY BIG ONES AND THEY'RE THE, THEY HAVE THE BIGGEST BUDGETS AS WELL.
SO THEY'VE BEEN DOING A GOOD JOB.
I THINK WTOC CAME UP TO THE, UM, CO-OP OPENING, UM, AND OTHER COVER AND THE TAX THINGS THAT I HAD THE LIBRARY.
SO IT'S KIND OF REMAINED PRETTY GOOD.
AND SO I'LL SAY, YOU KNOW, HATS OFF TO CHRIS AND THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND CONTINUING TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER TO MARKET THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM.
I THINK IN THE SHORT TIME WE'VE BOTH BEEN IN THESE ROLES.
WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO COLLABORATE ON THE THREE PRESS RELEASES FOR THE THREE PROJECTS FROM 2021, WHICH HAS BEEN GREAT.
UM, I'LL TAKE A DRAFT OF THEM.
CHRIS WILL MAKE THEM GOOD FOR THE MEDIA.
TELL ME ALL THE IMPORTANT THINGS TO PUT IN THAT TOP PARAGRAPH TO CAPTURE EVERYBODY'S SHORT ATTENTION SPAN, UM, AND THEN REALLY HELP GET THAT OUT TO, TO THE AUDIENCES IN THE MEDIA.
AND SO HAVING THESE OTHER TOOLS, UM, LIKE THE SOCIAL PAGES, THE FLICKER, THE GAS STATION TV TO HILTON HEAD COUNTY CHANNEL, I THINK THESE ARE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO CONTINUE THINKING ABOUT HOW WE GET OUR MESSAGE OUT, NOT JUST SAY A PRESS RELEASE WHEN WE PROTECT THE PROPERTY, WHICH IS TYPICALLY TOWARD THE END OF EVERY YEAR, RIGHT.
BUT THE WORK THAT WE DO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
AND SO IF WE TALK LATER IN THIS MEETING ABOUT TOURS OF PROPERTIES, YOU KNOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT WAYS WE CAN TALK.
WE CAN DESCRIBE WHAT WE SEE ART DID A VIDEO YEAR ABOUT OR TWO YEARS AGO, WHY I SERVE, RIGHT? LET'S TALK ABOUT WAYS WE CAN CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
HIGHLIGHTING THE WORK OF RURAL AND CRITICAL BOARD MEMBERS LIKE WITH THE CO-OP.
I THINK THESE ARE ALL REALLY GOOD THINGS THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO BUILD UPON.
AND, UM, I THINK THE MEDIA COVERAGE FROM THE THREE PROPERTY CLOSINGS HAS BEEN GOOD.
UM, AND I THINK WE HAVE ALSO OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND WHERE THOSE, WHERE THAT INFORMATION IS PLACED, BUT ALSO ONCE THE PROPERTY IS PROTECTED, LIKE THE, YOU PICKED DAFFODIL ARTICLE THAT WAS IN THE ISLAND PACKET TWO WEEKS AGO, I POSTED ON THE FACEBOOK PAGE BECAUSE IT'S A PROTECTED PROPERTY AND THAT'S REALLY COOL THAT YOU CAN GO OUT AND PICK DAFFODILS ON A PROPERTY THAT'S PROTECTED FOREVER WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS.
SO I'M TERRIBLE WITH RURAL AND CRITICAL A FACEBOOK PAGE, BUT I'VE RESOLVED TO BE BETTER.
AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE ARTICLES THAT I WANTED TO SHARE EXPRESSLY FOR THAT PURPOSE, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE ISLAND PACKET AND OTHER MEDIA OUTLETS KNOW WHEN THEY REPORT ON SOMETHING COOL.
THEY NEED TO KNOW IF IT'S HAPPENING ON A PROTECTION.
AND SO WE HAVE TWO, UM, TWO THINGS I CAN ADD TO THAT SORT OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIALIST.
WHAT I'VE DONE IS WE USE THIS IN THE ARMY WAS A PROGRAM CALLED SPRINKLER, UM, WHICH MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IT MEANS, BUT ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT IS IS IT ALLOWS YOU TO SCHEDULE ALL OF YOUR PLATFORMS THAT HAVE ONE SERVER.
THEN THE OTHER THING IT DOES, AND THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL PROMISE, IT'S CALLED SOCIAL LISTENING.
SO ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT DOES, IF YOU HAVE AN OPEN ACCOUNT, IF THEY SAY ROLL CRITICAL LANDS OR, UM, ST.
HELENA CO-OP OR WHATEVER IT IS, IT'LL POP UP IN THE FEED.
EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NOT FRIENDS WITH THEM, EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE NOT, YOU MAY NOT EVEN KNOW WHO THEY ARE AND THAT WAY YOU CAN READ IT AND JUST KIND OF GET A SENSE OF WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING IN THE OPEN PUBLIC.
CAUSE LIKE, WHAT I LIKE TO SAY IS IF YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR PROTECTIONS, CORRECT ON FACEBOOK, YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY GOING TO THE MALL AND SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS, ALL OF YOUR POLITICAL AND VIEWS, YOU'RE HOLDING UP YOUR FAMILY PICTURES.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SET TO PRIVATE AND YOU'RE NOT DOING THAT, BUT THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT IT IS.
SO IF YOU ARE OPEN AND THAT WE CAN START HEARING ALL THOSE DIFFERENT THINGS, UM, AND THEN WE CAN SEE WHERE, WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ARE THEY, IS IT EVEN MENTIONED LIKE OVER THE LAST MONTH, NO ONE WANTS HAS MENTIONED IN SOCIAL MEDIA OTHER THAN OURSELVES, YOU KNOW, SO HOW DO WE BREAK THAT? OR HERE'S
[00:20:01]
SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN REALLY ACTIVE ABOUT SUPPORTING IT, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHERE TO GO AND WE CAN POINT THEM TO THE RIGHT PLACES, UM, OR THERE'S, HEY, THERE'S THIS GROUP OUT THERE THAT THINKS IT'S THE WORST THING POSSIBLE? OH, IT'S A DEVELOPER FROM, YOU KNOW, NEW YORK THAT WANTS TO COME AND BUY LAND AND HE'S TRYING TO START UP TROUBLE, YOU KNOW, WHEREVER TYPE THING.AND THEN WE CAN, WE CAN ADDRESS THAT AS WELL.
SO, UM, WE CAN HELP WITH THE POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT ALSO GIVE YOU KIND OF A PUBLIC COMMENT FEEDBACK AS PEOPLE JUST NATURALLY POST OUT LOUD.
UM, AND THAT HELPS IN A WHOLE NUMBER OF DIFFERENT WAYS ACROSS THE COUNTY.
SO, YEAH, TRYING, GOOGLE'S NOT THE MOST USER FRIENDLY FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T CARE ABOUT, WHICH IS ANY LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
UM, I GOT BOAT RAMPS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE IN THAT PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS.
SO IF YOU TALK TO IN SHEER GOOGLE, HE WOULD GO TO SOMEBODY'S HOUSE.
UM, SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK ON THAT.
UM, AND WE'RE TRYING TO, I LIKE TO SAY PIERCE THE CORPORATE VEIL, UM, AND THEY GET IN THERE, UM, AND ACTUALLY START GETTING THIS STUFF MOVE AROUND.
I WOULD LOVE TO LABEL PROPERTIES, YOU KNOW, CLOSE TO THE PUBLIC BAR TYPE THING.
UM, WHEN PEOPLE START CERTAIN PROPERTY NAMES AND THEY WOULD JUST POP UP AND CAUSE I KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST FEARS OF SOME PROPERTY OWNERS THAT DO, YOU KNOW, EASEMENT PROTECTIONS AND EVERYTHING IS LIKE, OH, PEOPLE WILL THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO COME ON MY LAND NOW TYPE THING.
SO YEAH, THE SHORT ANSWER IS YEAH, BUT IT IS A LONG PROCESS AND UH, GOOGLE IS NOT USER FRIENDLY.
YOU KNOW, OTHER PEOPLE, MY CARDS RIGHT HERE.
IF ANYBODY HAS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME, CALL ME.
UM, UM, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE SECOND SESSION NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SIT OUTSIDE OR WAIT, OR I GOTTA GO BACK TO WORK.
WE NEED TO HAVE A MOTION TO COME IN.
UH, ONE PERSON TO COME IN LATE.
I WAS TALKING OF ROB MERCHANTS.
UM, MY UNDERSTANDING, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND MOVE THEN MOVE ON TO THE SECOND, SECOND, ALL IN FAVOR.
I'M GOING TO EXECUTIVE SESSION FEE, RAISE YOUR HAND POST NONE.
SO WE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION, IT HAS PUT A LOT OF INFORMATION REGARDING THE EXECUTIVE SESSION VERSUS NON-EXECUTIVE SESSION.
UH, WE MOVE ON, IS THIS A GOOD TIME TO MAKE A DECISION HOW WE WANT TO DO IT? I'LL JUST BULLET ONE TO DO IT.
I WOULD SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, PEAK MADE A GOOD COMMENT ABOUT THE PROPERTY OVERVIEW AND THAT SORT OF STUFF.
AND IF THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT, I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION, BUT IF WE GO ON TALK ABOUT CONTRACT AND NEGOTIATION, I THINK WE WOULD NEED TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
I THINK THE WAY WE'RE DOING IT NOW, WE'VE MOVED FROM PUTTING CODED NUMBERS DOWN TO A GENERAL DESIGNATION OF A PROPERTY OR A AREA OF A PROPERTY.
AND WHEN WE GET INTO THE DETAIL OF THE NEGOTIATION WE GO INTO, EXACTLY.
WELL, YOU HEARD MY OVERVIEW IN ART OVERVIEW AND ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE.
COULD I HAVE A MOTION TO, UH, LET THE, HAVE THE OVERVIEW WITH BEAK CHANGES BE, UH, DISCUSSED IN A PUBLIC SESSION, BUT ANY, UH, ANY PART OF THE, UH, DEALING WITH, UH, FINANCE ON NEGOTIATION, WE NEED TO GO IN EXECUTIVE SESSION IS A MOTION SOMEBODY CAN MAKE.
I NEED A CLARIFICATION PLEASE.
UM, THE EXAMPLE ERIC BROUGHT UP WAS THE DISCUSSION WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TODAY
[00:25:01]
BETWEEN TWO GOVERNMENT ENTITIES.ARE WE SPECIFICALLY TALKING ABOUT THAT THIS MOTION WOULD APPLY TO PRIVATE PARTIES? OR ARE WE GOING TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE TO SET A SESSION TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THE, UM, PROPOSED, UM, APPLICATION COMING FROM THE COUNTY AND TOWN OF HILTON HEAD GIVEN THE FACT THAT THEY'RE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES ARE AS PUBLIC FUNDS.
SO MR. CHAIRMAN, LET ME SAY, IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS HOW THIS BOARD WANTS TO HANDLE PROPERTIES AND DISCUSSION OF PROPERTIES COMING, COME TO FOR THE SPORT IN THE FUTURE, GOING FORWARD, THAT IS AN AGENDA ITEM THAT YOU SHOULD PUT ON YOUR, NOT ON THIS AGENDA.
I WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU JUST WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME AS AN EDIT, AS AN ITEM.
WOULD IT ALSO BE HELPFUL IF I PREPARED LIKE A DISCLOSURE STATEMENT FOR Y'ALL TO REVIEW THAT, TO GO ON THE APPLICATION, THAT'D BE GREAT AT YOUR NEXT MEETING.
EVERYBODY HAS THOUGHT ABOUT HIS GIFT THAT WILL GIVE HIM ALL THE CREDIT ON THAT.
WE CAN TAKE THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, WHICH HAD BEEN APPROVED TO GET YOU BACK ON SCHEDULE.
UM, SO THOSE OF Y'ALL ONLINE, UM, HAVE THIS MONTHLY NOTES PDF IN YOUR EMAIL.
UM, BUT THE FOLKS IN THE ROOM CAN HAVE A HARD COPY IN FRONT OF THEM.
I'M TRYING TO BE MORE ORGANIZED ABOUT MY MONTHLY UPDATES TO YOU ALL.
UM, SO FEEDBACK IS WELCOME ON WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT.
UM, BUT FIRST I WANT TO START WITH A LITTLE SNAPSHOT OF, UH, THIS QUARTER, UM, YOU ASKED LAST MONTH, HOW MANY APPLICATIONS WE GOT AT THE END OF QUARTER FOUR? UM, SO WE DID GET FOUR APPLICATIONS BY DECEMBER 31ST, 2021.
WE REVIEWED THOSE AS A PLANNING TEAM AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'LL SEE THROUGH THE FIRST COUPLE MONTHS OF 2022.
UM, HOWEVER, SINCE JANUARY, 2022, UM, WE ARE IN OUR NEW ESTABLISHED PHASE THAT ENDS MARCH 30TH.
WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED ONE AND WE'VE RECEIVED TWO INQUIRIES.
SO JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST KIND OF COLD CALLING WITH INQUIRIES, OR, YOU KNOW, MAYBE THERE'S A LANDOWNER OR THE NEIGHBORING LANDOWNER, ET CETERA.
UM, WE'RE ALSO DOING PROACTIVE OUTREACH AND WE MEET AS A PLANNING STAFF, MYSELF COMING FROM THE OPEN LAND TRUST AND THE COUNTY FOLKS, UM, TO TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT KIND OF PROACTIVE CONVERSATIONS WE NEED TO HAVE.
SO THAT'S JUST A LITTLE SNAPSHOT OF WHERE WE ARE SINCE WE OPENED THIS APPLICATION PERIOD.
AND AS A REMINDER, SINCE YOU ALL ARE AMBASSADORS FOR THE PROGRAM, THE NEXT APPLICATION DEADLINE IS MARCH 30.
FIRST, THAT APPLICATION CAN BE FOUND ONLINE ON RURAL AND CRITICAL.ORG AND ON THE COUNTY WEBSITE.
UM, WE'VE ALSO HAD SOME GREAT PRESS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, UM, THE PRESS FOR THE BERMUDA BLUFF AND THE OAK POINT CLOSINGS, UM, WORKS WITH CHRIS.
HE SET UP, UM, UH, EVEN A WTOC INTERVIEW FOR THE POINT CLOSING.
MY DAUGHTER WAS HOME FROM SCHOOL BECAUSE THAT'S JUST HOW THINGS ARE IN JANUARY.
AND, UM, SHE GOT TO COME WITH ME AND SHE THOUGHT EVERY DAY WAS FUN BECAUSE IT WAS ALL, UM, WE DROVE OUT TO THE WIMPY BOAT LANDING AND SHE SAW DOLPHINS BREACHING AND GOT TO MEET A REPORTER AND IT WAS GREAT.
SO, UM, HELPED WITH, UH, WITH THAT.
I KNOW SHE THINKS I HAVE A LITTLE TOO MUCH FUN, SO THAT GETS FULL.
SHE GOES, UM, WE'VE ALSO HAD SOME PRESS ON PASSIVE PARKS, UM, AND OTHER PRESS ON PROTECTED LANDS.
SO I INCLUDED THE FACT THAT THE UK DAFFODIL FARM IS ON A PROTECTED PROPERTY, UM, AND ALSO HAVE INCLUDES SOME MISCELLANEOUS PRESS, UM, THAT IS RELATED INCLUDING THE GREAT POST AND COURIER STORY ON THE GULLAH FARMERS.
CO-OP CONGRATULATIONS, UM, TO THOSE STAKEHOLDERS LOOKING AHEAD FOR FEBRUARY, UM, WANTED TO TALK ABOUT SOME COMMUNITY EVENTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE.
UM, WE HAVE PUT SOME PARTNER EVENTS AND LINKS ON YOUR PAPER, AND IF YOU READ THE ELECTRONIC COPY, THIS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE WEBSITE.
UM, BUT WANT TO TALK BRIEFLY ABOUT SOME EVENTS SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS BOARD? UM, FEBRUARY 14TH, UM, IS NOW BEEN RESCHEDULED TO FEBRUARY 28TH.
UM, AND IT IS THE NEXT COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING,
[00:30:01]
UM, WHERE COUNTY COUNCIL WILL DISCUSS THE PASSIVE PARK REZONING, WHICH IS NOW ITEM NINE ON OUR AGENDA.SO I'LL GET THERE NEXT, BUT FEBRUARY 28TH IS THAT DATE AND IT WILL ACTUALLY BE ON HILTON HEAD.
UM, SO IF Y'ALL SAW THE MEDIA OUTREACH THIS MORNING OR YESTERDAY, UM, COUNTY COUNCIL MEETINGS ARE NOW MOVING AROUND THE COUNTY AGAIN.
UM, AND THE NEXT MEETING OF COUNTY COUNCIL WILL BE FEBRUARY 28TH ON HILTON HEAD.
THAT'S JUST A DATE TO KEEP IN MIND.
ANOTHER DATE TO KEEP IN MIND FOR THIS BOARD, UM, IS OUR LONG AWAITED PROPERTY TOURS.
UM, I'D LIKE FOR Y'ALL TO HOLD THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 24TH FOR A PROPERTY TOUR IN BLUFFTON.
UM, WE HAVE A GREAT SET OF LANDOWNERS LINED UP TO TALK ABOUT THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM ON THEIR PROPERTIES SPECIFICALLY.
AND I'M WORKING ON CORUM AND LOGISTICS AND PUBLIC NOTICE QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT IF A CORUM OF YOU SHOW UP, BUT IT'S PROPERLY NOTICED AS A PUBLIC MEETING AND THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING ALL THE RULES.
UM, I'VE REACHED OUT TO OUR CLERK OF COUNTY COUNCIL, UM, TO FIND OUT ABOUT ALL OF THAT.
BUT, UM, EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE ALL OF THAT BUTTONED UP YET, I WOULD LOVE FOR Y'ALL TO HOLD THE DATE BECAUSE THE LANDOWNERS WERE SUPER EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT WHY THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROPERTY MATTERS TO THEM.
UM, LOOKING AHEAD, I THINK IF WE WERE ABLE TO MEET ON SITE AND EXPERIENCE A PROPERTY ON A REGULAR BASIS, THIS IS ALSO A GOOD EXAMPLE OF INFORMATION WE CAN USE FOR MEDIA AND MARKETING.
SO IT'D BE GREAT, YOU KNOW, TO HAVE INTERVIEW ONE OF Y'ALL TAKE PICTURES, WRITE A BLOG POST, PUT SOMETHING ON OUR WEBSITE AFTER THE FACT DO THAT TYPE OF THING.
SO CITIZENS WOULD BE FOR COUNTY CAN LEARN HOW IMPACTFUL THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN.
UM, AND, AND YOU ALL CAN COME TO SEE PROPERTIES AT THE SAME TIME.
I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE PROPERTY TOURS ON A REGULAR, UM, SCHEDULE TO HELP Y'ALL MANAGE YOUR LIVES TOO.
SO RIGHT NOW MY THINKING IS, AND OPEN TO YOUR FEEDBACK THAT IF WE MEET THE SECOND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH FOR A REAL MEETING, IF WE HAVE A PROPERTY TOUR, THE IDEAL TIME WOULD BE THE FOURTH, THURSDAY OF THE MONTH, NOT TO SAY THAT EVERY MONTH WE'LL DO THAT, BUT JUST SOME NORMAL CADENCE SO THAT IF YOU'RE ABLE, UM, TO, YOU KNOW, ARE HAPPY DAYS FOR Y'ALL ALREADY THEN, UM, MAYBE WE CAN GET USED TO THAT AS FAR AS THE TIME, UM, THIS PARTICULAR LANDOWNER, UH, HAS REQUESTED THE MORNING, UM, AND IT WOULD BE IN BLUFFTON.
UH, WHAT, UH, AT THREE SISTERS IN THE, YOU PICKED UP AT ALL.
SO FINAL DETAILS ON HOW TO PROPERLY PUBLICLY NOTICE A FIELD TRIP, BUT WE'LL GET THERE EXACTLY.
THAT'S IT? IT'S JUST A MEETING GOING TO BE NO FUN.
SO, UM, THAT'S WHAT I HAVE ON, UM, MONTHLY NOTES AND UPDATES.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT, I'LL JUMP RIGHT INTO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM, IF THAT'S OKAY.
MR. CHAIRMAN, UM, LAST MONTH WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING WITH, UM, SOME PROPOSED REZONINGS AT THE COUNTY LEVEL.
UM, AS Y'ALL MAY REMEMBER, UM, THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM OBVIOUSLY PROTECTS LAND IN TWO WAYS.
UM, ONE IS VIA CONSERVATION EASEMENT, AND ONE IS BY PURCHASING THE PROPERTY AND THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE PURCHASED BY BEAVER COUNTY COME INTO THE PROGRAM WITH THEIR PREVIOUS ZONING.
SO MAYBE THAT FINDING WAS T3 N AND THE PROPERTY COULD HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED AS A NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IT WAS PROTECTED AS A PARK.
UM, STEPHANIE NAGID AND THE PASSIVE PARKS PROGRAM HAS PROPOSED A LIST OF PASSIVE PARTS TO BE REZONED FROM THEIR INCOMING ZONING CATEGORY TO T1 AND NATURAL PRESERVE, WHICH FITS NOW THE INTENTION FOR THAT PROPERTY WOULD ALLOW STEPHANIE TO PLAN FOR PATH OF PARKS AND TO PROVIDE FOR PUBLIC ACCESS AND ALL THE THINGS THAT PASSIVE PARK REQUIRED, BUT IT WON'T ALLOW FOR T3 END TYPE ZONING HOUSES, SUBDIVISIONS, THAT TYPE OF THING.
UM, AND SO, UM, Y'ALL ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT IT AS A BOARD.
IT WAS BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND PASSED UNANIMOUSLY IN JANUARY, AND IT WAS BEFORE NATURAL RESOURCES, UM, THIS PAST MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6TH.
SO IT WILL GO BEFORE COUNTY COUNCIL, IT'LL BE THREE READINGS AND A PUBLIC HEARING BEGINNING FEBRUARY 28TH.
AND, UM, YOU ALL ASKED TO CONSIDER WRITING A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THIS PREMISE IN THE MEETING MATERIALS, AMANDA ATTACHED, THE LETTER OF SUPPORT, THE OPEN LAND TRUST WROTE.
SO, UM, OBVIOUSLY YOU ALL ARE A DIFFERENT BODY THAN THE OPEN LAND TRUST, AND ARE ENTITLED TO WRITE A SUPPORT LETTER ANY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
UM, BUT I WANTED YOU ALL TO SEE THAT AS AN EXAMPLE, THE OPEN LAND TRUST AS AN ORGANIZATION SUPPORTS THIS REASONING,
[00:35:01]
UM, OPPORTUNITY.AND WE THINK IT'S REALLY GREAT JUST AS AFFORDS ANOTHER LAYER OF PROTECTION TO COUNTY OWNED PROPERTIES.
UM, AND IF YOU ALL WOULD LIKE TO ISSUE A STATEMENT OF SUPPORT OR NOT SUPPORT, I GUESS YOU CAN CHOOSE AS WELL.
I'D BE HAPPY TO DRAFT A LETTER, UM, EXPRESSING YOUR OPINION ON THE MATTER AND PRESENT IT TO COUNTY COUNCIL.
SO, UM, IT'S ITEM IS ON THE AGENDA FOR YOU ALL TO GIVE ME SOME DIRECTION ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORT OR NOT SUPPORT.
I THINK SO TOO, BUT I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.
I'M HAPPY TO, WE DON'T, I'LL MAKE IT UP.
STEPHANIE ALSO ASKED ME IF WE HAD A LOGO, WHICH WE DON'T ALSO HAVE, SO THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER SOMETHING WE COULD EXPLORE IF WE WANTED TO HAVE OUR OWN RURAL AND CRITICAL LOGO.
WE'VE, WE'VE BEEN USING BUFORD COUNTY, WHICH I THINK IT'S FINE TO DO WELL, BUT IF YOU, IF ANYONE IN HERE IS REALLY GRAPHICALLY INCOMPETENT.
I'LL DROP THE LENDER ON BEHALF OF THIS BOARD TO SUPPORT THE PASSIVE PARK REASONING, UM, AND SHARE IT WITH YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND SIGNATURE.
ARE WE STILL GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE BIG CITY PROJECT? ALL RIGHT.
SO WE NEED TO MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER 10.
AND WHEN I SENDING OUT THE, UM, UH, AGENDA AND ALL THOSE OTHER ATTACHMENTS, ONE OF THEM WAS SEAN HAD, UM, I'D GIVEN HIM THE, UM, RANKING SEAT AND HE'S WRITTEN UP A FULL EXPLANATION ABOUT THE PROJECT AND THE EMAILS I PRINTED THEM OUT.
AGAIN, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK THROUGH IT AND THEN ASK, UM, JOHN, ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS? WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GIVE A SUMMARY? OKAY.
AS YOU ALL REMEMBER FROM LAST MONTH, UM, THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AS A LONG BEACH CITY ROAD WITH PROXIMITY TO HISTORIC MITCHELLVILLE AND ALSO THE HILTON HEAD AIRPORT OVERLAY.
UM, AND IT'S HALF AN ACRE AND I'LL HAVE THE POWERPOINT MEMORIZED.
THE APPLICATION CON CAME FROM THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD.
AND, UM, WE DID LOOK AT THE GREEN.
WE DID LOOK AT THE GREENPRINT MAPS, UM, LAST MONTH, BUT HALF AN ACRE NEXT TO, UM, THE ST.
JAMES BAPTIST CHURCH, UM, BUILDING, WHICH HAS BEEN RELOCATED OR AIRPORT EXPANSION, OVERLAY, ENCROACHMENTS SITUATIONS.
UM, AND THEN FURTHER DOWN BEACH CITY ROAD IS HISTORIC MITCHELLVILLE PARK.
UM, SO Y'ALL ASKED SOME QUESTIONS LAST MONTH, UM, THAT REALLY ARE BEST ANSWERED BY THE APPLICANT.
AND SO SEAN, WITH THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
UM, AND BEING ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AND ENGAGED, UM, WITH THE BOARD.
I JUST POINT OF CLARIFICATION, THE CHURCH HAS NOT BEEN RELOCATED YET.
THIS IS ADJACENT TO THE HISTORIC CHERRY HILLS TOOL PROPERTY.
THAT'S JUST ACROSS, UM, DYLAN ROAD FROM THE HISTORIC.
SO CAN I, I MISSED THE JANUARY MEETING.
CAN YOU BRING US UP TO SPEED? WHAT W WHAT IS THE RURAL AND CRITICAL LION'S COMMITTED? AND I ASKED TO DO, AND SPECIFICALLY IN THIS CASE, UM, YOU ALL ARE BEING ASKED TO CONSIDER DUE DILIGENCE FOR A PROPERTY, UM, ON HILTON HEAD.
AND DO YOU HAVE THE SLIDES FROM LAST MONTH, OR DO YOU WANT ME TO HOLD THEM UP? SO WE ARE BEING ASKED TO WE'RE BEING ASKED TO INVEST RURAL AND CRITICAL LANDS COMMITTEE FOR THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, CORRECT? CORRECT.
UM, AND SO Y'ALL KNOW YOU REALLY HAVE YOUR, YOUR VOTES OF APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL, OR ARE TWO TIERS FIRST DUE DILIGENCE AND EXPLORATION AND SECONDLY APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL ULTIMATELY TO, UM, OR, YOU KNOW, RECOMMENDATION TO PURCHASE, UM, OR PROTECT.
[00:40:01]
THIS IS STILL IN THE FIRST PHASE, UM, BUT THEY, BUT WE WANTED TO, BUT OBVIOUSLY YOUR VOTE ON THAT FIRST PHASE NEEDS TO BE BASED ON SOME SORT OF INFORMATION.AND SO SEAN IS HERE TO SHARE INFORMATION, UM, FROM THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD, BECAUSE THERE WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS LAST MONTH, BUT AMANDA AND I PUT AN ANSWER.
UM, BUT THEN ALSO, UM, LET'S SEE, THIS IS PRETTY SIMPLE.
IT WOULD BE A FEE SIMPLE ACQUISITION.
AND IT WOULD BE A 50 50 PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TOWN.
THANK YOU ALL FOR REMEMBERING FROM JANUARY.
UM, HERE'S A MAP MACK, UM, AND THE SLIDE FROM LAST MONTH, IF WE, IF WE CAN GET THEM UP, WE WILL, BUT IF NOT, UM, THEY WERE JUST AS Y'ALL HAVE BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO SEE, UM, THE GREENPRINT MAPS.
UM, SO KIND OF THOSE HEAT MAP SLIDES, UM, THIS IS THE LOCATOR MAP, BUT THIS WOULD BASICALLY BE USED AS A PARKING LOT FOR BEACH ACCESS.
NO, IT WILL BE USED FOR NOTHING.
WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING THE CHERRY HILLS SCHOOL AND THE SAINT JAMES CHURCH THAT'S ACROSS THE ROAD, UM, THAT WILL BE REIMBURSED BY THE FAA THROUGH THAT RELOCATION PROJECT THERE.
UH, IF YOU, THIS DOESN'T SHOW IT, BUT THIS PARCEL RIGHT BEHIND THE CHERRY OLD SCHOOL IS ACTUALLY IN THE FLIGHT PATH OF THE JETS GOING INTO THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT.
SO THE PROPERTY COULD NOT BE, UH, NOT MUCH CAN HAPPEN WITH THE PROPERTY ANYWAY.
UM, BUT THE TOWN OF HILTON HAD AND BUFORD COUNTY, UM, MYSELF WHO HAS SERVED ON THE, UH, ST JAMES RELOCATION COMMITTEE, UH, THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A GOOD ACQUISITION DUE TO ITS PROXIMITY TO MITCHELLVILLE.
WE ALSO OWN PARCEL IS JUST DOWN THE ROAD HERE, LONG BEACH CITY ROAD, UH, WITH THE TOWN OF HILTON HAD THAT'S ADJACENT TO THE MITCHELLVILLE HISTORIC SITE.
AND SO, UM, W WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS IT WILL PRESERVE THESE PROPERTIES FROM FUTURE DEVELOPMENT.
THAT MIGHT BE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE FLIGHT SPACE.
IN THE AIRSPACE OF THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF THIS PROPERTY IS PURCHASED WITH ROWAN CRITICAL LANDS, MONEY THAT IN A FEW YEARS, IT COULD BE REIMBURSED.
THE PROGRAM COULD BE REIMBURSED BY THE FAA, UH, FOR THE PURCHASE OF THOSE PROPERTIES, TO A LAND PURCHASE RE UM, PROGRAM THAT THEY HAVE GRANT PROGRAM.
WE'RE NOT ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR IT RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE WE'VE USED THAT PROGRAM RECENTLY TO PURCHASE OTHER PARTIALS OVER NEAR THE AIRPORT, UH, TO FACILITATE THE IMPROVEMENT TO THE TERMINAL, ERIC, ERIC, WHAT WOULD ACTUALLY BE ON THE PROPERTY POST ACQUISITION, W IT WILL REMAIN VACANT.
CHERRY HILL SCHOOL WILL EVENTUALLY BE RELOCATED AND MOVED OFF OF THE SITE WHERE IT IS AS A NATIONAL HISTORIC STRUCTURE.
SO WE WILL PAY TO RELOCATE THAT OVER TO UNION CEMETERY ROAD, WHERE THE NEW ST JAMES CHURCH WILL BE BUILT.
IF THE FAA APPROVES THE RELOCATION PACKAGE FOR THE CHURCH AND THE SCHOOL, WHAT WILL COME UP THE LAND, WHERE THE SCHOOL IS.
UH, SEAN, CAN I ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, UH, ONCE YOU MOVE THE SCHOOL, IS THERE A POSSIBILITY YOU'LL LOSE THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION? UH, NO, SIR.
THERE'S SOME CONSIDERATIONS GIVEN WITH THAT RELOCATION ABOUT, ABOUT THE ORIENTATION AND OTHERS THAT BE PRESERVED.
UM, WE'RE ON A SEPARATE TRACK LOOKING TO DESIGNATE A CULTURAL DISTRICT ALONG BEAT CITY ROAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MITCHELLVILLE.
SO THIS PROPERTY, ALONG WITH THE LOCATION, WHEN IT'S ST J OR THE ST.
JAMES AND TERRY OLD SCHOOL ART TODAY, UH, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS FOR DEVELOPMENT THERE, BUT IT WOULD BE CERTAINLY A GREAT GATEWAY INTO THAT HISTORIC COMMUNITY.
SO, NO, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY JEOPARDY OF THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION.
AND IF ERIC KNOWS MORE ABOUT THAT, UM, I ASKED HIM TO CHIME IN, BUT LET IT UNDER CONSIDERATION MY ORIENTATION AND THE RELOCATION TO KEEP THAT HISTORIC FEATURE ARE THERE.
NOW, WE'RE, WE'RE DEALING WITH THE STATE HISTORIC, UM, OFFICE AND ARCHIVES OFFICE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RELOCATE THE SCHOOL AND PLACE IT ON THE NEW SITE, UH, IN A MANNER SO THAT IT'S ABLE TO KEEP ITS NATIONAL HISTORIC, REGISTERED DESIGNATION, UH, FOR THE SCHOOL, WHEN IT'S RELOCATED, WE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE TO MOVE THAT SCHOOL, UH, ONCE APPROVED.
UM, ONCE FAA PROVES THE PACKAGE, WE WILL ACTUALLY HAVE
[00:45:01]
TO MOVE THAT SCHOOL DOWN THE RUNWAY OF THE AIRPORT TO GET IT TO THE NEW LOCATION IN ORDER TO AVOID THE TREES THAT OVERHANG THE ROADWAYS, UH, TO GET IT THROUGH.SO IT'LL ACTUALLY MOVE THROUGH THE AIRPORT, DOWN THE RUNWAY, UH, OVER TO UNION, OVER TO UNION CEMETERY ROAD SITE FOR THE NEW CHARGE.
ERIC, I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION SINCE THIS IS, UH, UH, AIRPORT EXTENSION.
WAS THERE ANY THOUGHT GIVEN TO USING THE FUNDS COMING DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE INSTEAD OF, OR CLP PHONES? UH, THERE WEREN'T, THERE WERE NOT, UH, WE, WE DID NOT HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.
WOULD IT BE BETTER? WOULD IT BE BENEFICIAL? YEAH, I MEAN, IT COULD, IT COULD BE BENEFICIAL TO DO THAT.
YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY NOT A GOOD PURCHASE FOR THE, UH, AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT MONEY.
UH, MOST OF THAT MONEY, UH, SLATED FOR, UH, HELPING OUT, UH, PEOPLE THAT REALLY SUFFERED DURING THE PANDEMIC, UH, FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.
UH, SO I DON'T, I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK THE CFA, UH, SUCH A PURCHASE WOULD EVEN BE AN ALLOWABLE EXPENDITURE UNDER THE ARPA RULES.
UM, I DON'T KNOW THAT I DON'T KNOW THAT LAND ACQUISITION FOR THIS PURPOSE WOULD BE AVAILABLE, UH, THROUGH THAT PROGRAM.
A APPROXIMATELY THAT YOU HAD A QUESTION.
UM, I UNDERSTAND THE CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS PROPERTY, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
I LOOKED UP AN OLD MAP AND I COULD SEE HOW MITCHELL WAS ALL OVER THE AREA, AND THIS WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
UM, I ALSO, UH, ENJOY THE OPEN SPACE, PRESERVING OPEN SPACE ASPECT OF IT.
UM, AND I COULD SEE HOW IT COULD BE USED AS OVERFLOW PARKING FOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, BUT WHAT, AND IF THIS IS GOING TO BE ADJACENT TO WHERE THE SCHOOL IS CURRENTLY, WHAT WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE USE OF THE LAND OF WHERE THE SCHOOL IS NOW, ONCE THE SCHOOL HAS MOVED, NOTHING, IT'LL JUST BE OPEN.
CHURCH WILL BE CLOSED DOWN, UM, AND IT'LL BE VACATED AS WELL.
WE'RE NOT SURE THAT WE'RE ABLE TO TEAR DOWN THE CHURCH BECAUSE THE CHURCH IS NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE ELIGIBLE.
IT'S NOT A NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE STRUCTURE.
LET US SENTENCE, IT'S ELIGIBLE TO BE A NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE.
UM, AM I, I DON'T KNOW WHY IT IS A NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE ELIGIBLE, UH, STRUCTURE BECAUSE IT'S FAIRLY NEW, BUT THE STATE, UM, UH, ARCHIVES OFFICE HAS DESIGNATED AS SUCH.
SO WE'RE LIMITED AS TO WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THAT BUILDING, BUT IT WOULD NOT.
NO, NO PEOPLE, NO CONGREGATION OF PEOPLE WOULD BE ALLOWED ON ANY OF THESE PROPERTIES.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL OWN THE LAND WHERE THE SCHOOL IS CURRENTLY.
AND IF WE PURSUE THIS ONE, IT'LL BE ADJACENT TO THAT MAKING THAT LAND LARGER THAT'S CRAP, BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE A CONGREGATION OF HOW MANY PEOPLE LIKE IT COULDN'T BE A PUBLIC GATHERING SPACE FOR JUST ERIC, JUST TO ORIENT ME.
UM, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE PLAT, THE SMART TWO 10? IS THAT THE SCHOOL OR IS THAT THE CHURCH? TWO 10 IS THE SCHOOL.
THE CHURCH IS RIGHT ACROSS THE OTHER SIDE OF DILLON ROAD.
YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PIT.
AND ONE OTHER QUESTION, UM, IS THERE A PRECEDENT FOR WHIP FOR US PARTNERING INSIDE AN INCORPORATED PART OF THE COUNTY ON A PURCHASE? YEAH, WE, WE HAVE, WE PARTNERED WITH THE CITY OF L A WITH THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND, JUST DOWN THE ROAD, YOU'RE ON BEACH CITY ROAD WITH FIVE ADDITIONAL PARCELS THAT ARE ABOUT THE SAME SIZE.
THIS ONE'S ACTUALLY A LITTLE BIGGER THAN, THAN THOSE PARCELS.
WE'RE BALANCING, UM, ZOOM AND IN PERSON, AND IT'S MAY FOUR IT ASK US QUESTION AND THEN WE'LL GO TO YOU.
APPROXIMATE VALUE OR NUMBER ON THIS ALL DUE RESPECT.
AND EDUCATE ME, WHY IS THIS SOMETHING THAT'S SO INTERESTING, JOHN, ARE YOU ABLE TO SPEAK TO THE, UM, WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT THE COSTS? WE OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T DONE DUE DILIGENCE AS A BOARD, SO THIS MIGHT BE A QUESTION.
UM, YEAH, WE HAD AN APPRAISAL AT CLARK CONSOLE.
UM, WHEN THIS REQUEST CAME, MET, OUR COUNCIL SUPPORTED HAVING AN APPRAISAL DONE ON THE PROPERTY AND WE'D SENT THAT, UM, OVER TO ERIC, BUT THE APPRAISAL CAME BACK AT 154,000.
[00:50:01]
AND THEN WHEN WE TALKED TO OUR COUNCIL, THAT APPRAISAL NUMBER, THE TIME MANAGER ASKS THAT WE, UM, PURSUE THIS WOULD POTENTIALLY DO YOU WANT IT TO BE THE COUNTY? AND THAT'S WHEN WE REACHED OUT TO ERIC AND HIS TEAM AND HAD BEEN WORKING, BUT ONCE HIS NUMBER ON THE OKAY.AND KENNETH, YEAH, I JUST HAD A QUESTION.
UM, I KNOW, UH, ERIC MENTIONED THAT THE FFA FAA WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY, A NUMBER OF YEARS DOWN THE ROAD TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY.
WOULD, WOULD THEY BE ABLE TO BUILD ANY STRUCTURES ON IT OR WOULD IT STILL, NO, THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD BE WHY IT WOULD BE GRANT ELIGIBLE BECAUSE WE'RE A PURCHASING IT TO PROTECT THE APPROACH ZONE, UH, TO THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT.
IF YOU, IF YOU CAN IMAGINE RIGHT BEHIND THE CHURCH, YOU SEE THE WAY THE CHURCH SITS THERE AT THE SCHOOL.
I MEAN, AT THE, UH, AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN, IF YOU IMAGINE, JUST FOLLOWING THAT LINE ON BACK TO THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY, RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE REAR OF THE PROPERTY IS THE, UH, IS THE ACTUAL RUNWAY.
SO THE, THE PLANES ACTUALLY FLY OVER THAT CHURCH IN THE CHAIR, CHERRY OLD SCHOOL, UM, UH, TAKING OFF AND LANDING AT THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT AS THEY COMING IN OFF THE WATER.
MR. GREENWAY, MY HOPE SOME KIND OF WAY WHEN THE SCHOOL IS MOVED, WE CAN, UH, PUT SOME TYPE OF HISTORICAL OR TO MARKET.
I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE LIVECHAT TO A POINT A HISTORY OF LOCATION.
SO, UH, LET ME, LET ME ADDRESS THAT A LITTLE BIT.
WE HAVE A GREAT ORGAN RELATIONSHIP.
UH, 70 NAGID IS, UM, AND THE, AND THE COUNTY AND THE COUNTY HILTON HEAD ISLAND HAVE, UH, WORKED WITH, UH, MITCHELLVILLE, UM, ALL OF THIS PROPERTY.
THERE'S A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF, UM, THERE'S A SPECIFIC AREA.
THAT'S A PART OF THE MITCHELLVILLE PLAN RIGHT NOW, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A PART OF THE MITCHELLVILLE PARK.
UM, WE WORKED WITH THEM ON PROVIDING SOME OF THE JOINT LAND THAT WE OWN DOWN, BEAT SYRIA WITH TONY AND ALLEN, PROVIDING THAT TO THEM FOR A BUS PARKING, UH, THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE FLIGHT PATH OF THE, OF THE, UH, AIRPLANES.
UM, BUT YEAH, THIS WILL BE VERY MUCH, I'M SORRY, MY PHONE'S GOING OFF HERE.
UH, THIS WILL BE VERY MUCH A PART OF THAT HISTORIC, UH, CULTURAL SIGNIFICANT AREA, UH, FOR OUR MITCHELLVILLE AND, UH, THE ST JAMES CHURCH CONGREGATION.
SO THERE WILL PROBABLY BE SOME HISTORIC, UM, MARKERS FOR BOTH MITCHELLVILLE AND THE ST.
JAMES CHURCH, UH, ERECTED IN THIS AREA.
ONCE WE COMPLETE THESE PROJECTS.
AND WE DO CURRENTLY HAVE THERE'S HISTORIC MARKERS FOR THE CHURCH AND CHERRY HILLS SCHOOL OUT ON THOSE SITES.
AND SO THAT THEY WOULD BE MAINTAINED.
THERE'S A ONE UP FOUR HOLLOW JUST DOWN BEACH CITY ROAD AS WELL.
UM, SO I COULD, I WOULD ANTICIPATE MORE HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE IN THIS DISTRICT.
THAT'S ONE, ONE OTHER QUESTION.
UM, DISASTER FE HAVE THE ABILITY TO BLOCK DEVELOPMENT ON THIS FACIAL PROPERTY.
UH, TH THE FAA DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO BLOCK DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY, THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND HAS THE ABILITY TO BLOCK DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY.
THE FAA WOULD BASICALLY SAY IF WE VIOLATED WHAT THEY THINK SHOULD HAPPEN ON THE PROPERTY, THEY WOULD BASICALLY SAY YOU EITHER GOT TO REMOVE THAT, UH, UH, THING AND REYES BLUES AND FUTURE GRANT MONEY.
AND THAT'S, WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH ST.
JAMES CHURCH RIGHT NOW IS, UM, WE'RE IN JEOPARDY.
IF WE DON'T TAKE CARE OF THE ST JAMES CHURCH SITUATION, WE'RE IN JEOPARDY AT SOMEDAY LOSING OUR ABILITY TO GET FAA FUNDING FOR THE AIRPORT.
SO THE PRESSURE IS ON THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN TO ACQUIRE THIS, TO SATISFY THE FAA FLIGHT PATTERN.
I PURCHASE IT IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE AIRSPACE FOR THE AIRPORT.
I ENJOYED READING THE LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD.
UM, I RE I APPRECIATE THE, THE CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROPERTY.
IF WE WERE GOING TO PURSUE THIS, I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF ON THE PROPERTY IS SOMEHOW OKAY.
DOES THE, DOES OUR RURAL AND CRITICAL LANDS, UM, CONDITIONS OR OBJECTIVES OF THE,
[00:55:01]
UH, PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT THEY ACQUIRED INCLUDE ECONOMIC REASONS? BECAUSE I WOULD SEE THIS AS ECONOMIC, NOT AS, NOT AS PROTECTING ART, UH, CULTURALLY VALUABLE PIECE OF PROPERTY.CAN I ANSWER THAT OR ANSWER IT IN PARTS OF ACCORDING TO THE COUNTY CODE, THE PURPOSE OF, UH, CRITICAL, UH, AND RURAL LAND PRESERVATION PROGRAM, UH, SECTION 26 DASH 27, PARAGRAPH NINE SAYS YOU CAN, WE CAN PROVIDE TO THE PURCHASE OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS AND FEE SIMPLE IF IT INVOLVES PUBLIC SAFETY.
AND IF THERE'S THE PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY IS IN THE FLIGHT PATTERN, AND IT IMPACTS PUBLIC SAFELY, RIGHT NOW, IT'S TAKING OFF ARE RATTLING THE WINDOWS OF THAT CHURCH AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE CHURCH.
THAT'S IN DANGER OF FALLING DOWN EVENTUALLY, BUT THE COUNTY CODE ALLOWS THIS BODY TO DO WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING TO DO.
JAMES CHURCH ON A SUNDAY MORNING FOR OUR CHURCH SERVICE THERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS TO THEM ABOUT THE RELOCATION APPLYING FLEW OVER AND ECONOMICS READ THE BRAND NAME ON THE LIGHTS, UH, UNDERNEATH THE PLANE, AS IT CAME OVER, IS THAT CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE CHURCH.
UM, I HAVE A MOTION TO VOTE FOR APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL OF THIS PROJECT.
WE DO DEAL WITH MOOD AND SECOND TO MOVE THIS PROJECT FORWARD FOR DUE DILIGENCE.
ALL IN FAVOR, PLEASE SHOW OH, WHO OPPOSE HAVING DONE THIS PROJECT OR MOVE TO.
WE HAD A LOT OF FOLLOWUP ITEMS FROM JANUARY.
DID WE ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THEM ALL? AND THE STAFF DID A WONDERFUL JOB PUTTING ALL THIS TOGETHER.
THE TEMPERATURE WENT BACK UP THE .
