[VI. Presentations, Celebrations and Recognitions]

TEACHER NOT SHARED THAT WHILE SHE FACED MANY CHALLENGES AT BEGINNING A FOURTH GRADE AS A NEW STUDENT AND HAVING TO LEARN VIRTUALLY SHE DID NOT LET THIS CHALLENGE STOP HER FROM FROM POWERING THROUGH TO DO HER BEST DURING VIRTUAL LEARNING SHE WOULD FIND THE QUIETEST NOOK IN HER HOME AND ENSURE SHE COULD ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN HER LESSONS WHEN SHE RETURNED TO

IN-PERSON LEARNING. SHE TOOK OFF. >> SHE WAS FOCUSED DETERMINED.

SHE ASKED FOR HELP WHEN SHE NEEDED IT AND WOULD HAPPILY HELP OTHERS WHILE SHE IS QUIET.

SHE HAS COME OUT OF HER SHELL AND AS AN ENTHUSIASTIC PARTICIPANT IN THE CLASSROOM SHE ALWAYS TAKES THE EXTRA MILE ASKING FOR HELP. SHE'S WORKED ESPECIALLY HARD TO IMPROVE HER READING SKILLS AND IMPROVE HER MATH TEST SCORES. HER PERSEVERANCE AND HARD WORK MAKE HER STAND STRONG AMONG HER PEERS AND ADULTS WHO KNOW HER AND THEY LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HER PERSEVERE EVEN MORE. HER TRAIT WAS PERSEVERANCE AND SHE WAS ONE JUST TO REMIND EVERYONE OF OUR WHOLE ENTIRE CLUSTER OF OVER PROBABLY THIRTEEN OR FOURTEEN THOUSAND STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR BLUFFTON CLUSTER. SO WE'RE THRILLED AND CONGRATULATIONS. OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS AN ANNUAL UPDATE I THINK AND WE HAVE THE BLUFFED HISTORIC BLUFFTON FOUNDATION AND WE HAVE YOUR WHOLE TEAM AND AMANDA IS THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD AND IF YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE WHAT ARE YOU FROM PRESIDENT SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER. SHE IS THE HEAD HONCHO. MAYBE INTRODUCE YOUR TEAM AND

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING YOUR UPDATE. >> BUT MY FIRST SENTENCE SAID HERE YOU GO. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR BEARING US TO SPEAK TODAY.

MY NAME IS AMANDA DENMARK AND I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE BLUFFTON FOUNDATION AND WE WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE ARE TODAY.

YESTERDAY WAS OUR FIRST DAY REOPENED SINCE COBAIN'S. THEY WERE PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AS YOU MAY KNOW, KELLY GRAHAM, OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RECENTLY STEPPED DOWN IN THE LAST MONTH AND A LITTLE BIT OVER A MONTH NOW DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS.

SO IN THE INTERIM WE HAVE THREE PART TIME EMPLOYEES WHICH WILL INTRODUCE IN JUST A MOMENT.

SO THEY'VE BEEN KIND OF HOLDING EVERYTHING TOGETHER FOR US WHILE JEN THEIR VISE PRESIDENT AND JOHN SINCLAIR, OUR TREASURER, WE'VE THE THREE OF US HAVE ALL BEEN MEETING TOGETHER TRYING TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ROLE WHAT IT NEEDS TO

[00:05:05]

WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH OUTSIDE CONSULTANTS AND WE'VE BEEN MEETING WITH BUSINESS COACHES BECAUSE WE REALLY WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE NEED GOING FORWARD AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE TOWN WANTS GOING FORWARD. SO WITH THAT I'LL LET KATE COME

CREECH COME AND GO OVER SOME UPDATES. >> USE DIGESTED TO SAFEGUARD ANY AND IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. TOMMY SEE? OKAY.

SO TO START OFF TO OUR MISSION FOR THE HISTORIC BLUFFTON FOUNDATION FOUNDED IN 1981 THE MISSION OF THE HISTORIC BLUFFTON FOUNDATION IS TO PROTECT, PROTECT, PRESERVE AND PROMOTE THE HISTORY AND CULTURAL HERITAGE OF THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON, SOUTH CAROLINA THROUGH EDUCATION, MARKETING HANDS ON PRESERVATION OF BUILDINGS, SITES, MAINTENANCE OF THE CARDWELL ARCHIVES AND OPERATION OF THE HAYWARD HOUSE MUSEUM AND

WELCOME CENTER. >> SO AS AMANDA MENTIONED, THERE ARE THREE OF US PART

TIMERS. >> SO THERE'S MYSELF. KATE I WAS HIRED ON AS THE DIRECTOR OF EVENTS AND ADMINISTRATION SO I'M JUST REALLY OVERSEEING ALL OF THE EVENTS THAT COME THROUGH OUR WAY AS WELL AS TRYING TO COORDINATE MORE COMMUNITY EVENTS THAN WE HAVE. JARED GENSER OVER HERE HE IS OUR MARKETING AND ARCHIVED

DIRECTOR. >> AND THEN EVAN HE IS OUR DIRECTOR OF TOURS AND OPERATIONS THOUGH HE ALSO HELPS OVERSEE THE SCHEDULING OF ALL OF OUR DOCENTS.

WE ALSO HAVE ALSO WE HAVE SEVEN ACTIVE DOSES RIGHT NOW. >> WE PREVIOUSLY HAD AROUND 14 PRIOR TO COATED SINCE WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND REOPEN AFTER REACHING OUT TO OUR DOCENTS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE AROUND SEVEN ACTIVE.

WE HAVE A FEW THAT ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND WE HAVE A FEW THAT HAVE OTHER COMMITMENTS AND ARE PLANNING ON COMING BACK IN THE FALL AND THEN I THINK THERE IS AROUND TO THAT ALSO JUST AREN'T READY TO COME BACK. SO WE ARE RESPECTIVE OF THAT. WE HAVE A TEAM OF EIGHT MASTER GARDENERS WHO COME AND WORK ON THE PROPERTY THE FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH.

WE HAVE OUR EIGHT BOARD MEMBERS TWO OF WHICH ARE HERE TONIGHT AND WE ALSO HAVE A HANDFUL OF MEMBERS TO THE HISTORIC BLUFFTON FOUNDATION. THAT'S ALSO SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO REVAMP AND WE ARE DISCUSSING HEAVILY AS TO HOW WE CAN KIND OF BUILD THAT

UP. >> SO SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW WE OF COURSE FUNCTION AS THE AS A MUSEUM AND THE WELCOME CENTER TO THE TOWN AND WE HAVE A MUSEUM STORE WHICH WE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT HOPEFULLY BRINGING IN SOME NEW PRODUCTS THAT WILL REPRESENT THE TOWN AND BE GREAT SELLERS. BUT WE ALSO MAINTAIN THE CALDWELL ARCHIVES WHICH JARED

DOES THAT FOR US. >> HE'S BEEN WORKING REALLY HARD ON DIGITIZING ARCHIVES PICKING UP WHERE THEY WERE LEFT OFF. WE DID REOPEN YESTERDAY FOR TOURS. RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN KIND OF PHASE ONE OF OUR TOUR PLAN.

SO TO EASE INTO IT AND TO BE RESPECTIVE OF OUR DOSES WE ARE ASKING THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN SCHEDULING A TOUR GIVE US A CALL SO WE CAN THEN REACH OUT TO OUR DEFICITS TO SCHEDULE IF THEY CALL US EARLY ENOUGH IN THE DAY. WE MAY BE ABLE TO HAVE A DOSE THAT COME IN THAT AFTERNOON BUT TYPICALLY IT'S A 24 HOUR TURNAROUND.

BUT THEN MYSELF AND EVAN ARE HOPEFULLY I'M READY BY THE END OF THIS MONTH.

EVAN'S PRETTY GOOD ALREADY BUT TAKING A WALKING TOUR IS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

THIS THURSDAY IS REALLY GOING TO BE OUR FIRST TEST BECAUSE THE FARMER'S MARKET IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR. WE'RE ANTICIPATING A LOT OF FOOT TRAFFIC AND WE'RE JUST GONNA TAKE IT IN STRIDE. SO WE ARE GEARING UP FOR A BUSY SEASON SLOW SEASON WE AVERAGED AROUND 800 TO 950 VISITORS EACH MONTH. WE SHOULD BE TRENDING CLOSER TO THAT TWELVE HUNDRED MARK OR EVEN MORE NOW BUT THE WEATHER IS NICER EXCEPT SATURDAY SATURDAYS DOING SOMETHING WEIRD AND THEN WE DID WE WERE VOTED AS ONE OF THE TOP EIGHT WEDDING VENUES IN BLUFFTON SO THAT WAS PRETTY EXCITING ESPECIALLY FOR ME AS A PREVIOUS HISTORY AND

WEDDING PLANNING. >> THE OTHER HUGE PORTION OF THE HAYWARD HOUSE ASIDE FROM THE HISTORIC MUSEUM ON THE INSIDE IS THE COMMON GROUND AREA.

THAT'S WHERE ALL OF THE EVENTS HAPPEN. THE NEWEST ADDITION IS THE ARBOR AT COMMON GROUND. AND SO THIS IS REALLY SERVED AS A BEAUTIFUL INSTALLATION OF LIGHTS AND IT'S GREAT FOR WHEN THERE ARE EVENTS THAT NEED TENTS BECAUSE IT'S A PERFECT AREA TO BE TINTED. WE DO HAVE THE FARMER'S MARKET EVERY THURSDAY OF COURSE THAT'S A MARTIN FAMILY PARK. BUT WE DO SEE PATRONS COMING OVER.

WE HAVE TODD MEREDITH WHO PLAYS UNDER THE PAVILION. HE'S THERE FOR A FEW HOURS AND

[00:10:06]

AND WE DO PLAN FOR MANY MORE CAMPAIGN EVENTS THIS YEAR HOPEFULLY PARTICIPATING IN THE

ART WALK AND THEN BLUFFTON IN BLOOM. >> THE OTHER BREAD AND BUTTER.

SO THAT'S THOSE ARE ALL FUNDRAISING EFFORTS. THE OTHER BREAD AND BUTTER BUTTER EXCUSE ME FOR THE MUSEUM WELCOME CENTER AND COMMON GROUND ARE THE PRIVATE EVENTS SO WEDDINGS, BABY SHOWERS, ENGAGEMENT PARTIES, CLIENT EVENTS.

WE HAD A CLIENT OR SHE ROSE THIS PAST SATURDAY IT WENT FANTASTICALLY.

AND WHEN I WENT TO CHECK IN I WAS ABLE TO KIND OF MINGLE WITH SOME OF THE SOME OF THE CLIENTS AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR THE REAL ESTATE AGENCY HAND OUT CARDS, YOU KNOW, SOCIALIZE, DO SOME NETWORKING JUST TO FURTHER OUR AWARENESS IN THE TOWN. THERE'S SOME PICTURES OF US.

IT'S GREAT. OK, SO GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES. THIS IS THE BIG ONE.

SO WE REALLY WANT TO STRENGTHEN OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TOWN AND EMBRACE EVERY POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY FOR PRESERVATION. WE ARE NOW BACK ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A NEW RHYTHM AND FLOW WITH THAT FOR INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON RIGHT NOW. IN A MONTH OR SO WE'RE GONNA SEE HOW IT GOES WITH SCHEDULING TOURS WITH OUR DOCENTS. WE ARE ANTICIPATING WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME MORE DOCENTS BUT WE'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO IT. WE'RE ALREADY KIND OF PREPARING FOR THAT THOUGH INTERNALLY AND THEN I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO PASS IT OVER TO JARRETT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE LAST TWO ITEMS THIS DOUG CORCORAN HAS GENEROUSLY DONATED ABOUT ABOUT 350 TO 500

PIECES OF ART FOUNDATION. >> THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL WORKS OF ART THAT WE'RE GONNA TAKE INTO THE ARCHIVES USED TO MONETIZE FOR HISTORIC PURPOSES SO CREATING ENOUGH TO EASE OUT OF SOME OF THEM PERHAPS I'M SELLING SOME OF THE GIFT SHOP AND THEN GET HIM IN A DIGITAL FORMAT. ALSO WE'RE DOING THE BLUFFTON IN BLOOM PARTY WITH A BARBECUE CHEF WHO WILL HAVE A SWEET TEE OFF AND THEN A PANCAKE OFF AS WELL.

WE DID THAT. >> THAT'S GOING TO BE THE LATTER PART OF APRIL AND RAISING AND THEN MIKE REYNOLDS AS WELL. YOU KNOW YOU FROM BLUFFTON WHEN MIKE MADE A DONATION LAST ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO ABOUT SIXTEEN HUNDRED BUCKS.

SO WORKING TIGHTLY WITH MIKE AND LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE HISTORY AND GETTING FOLKS TO COME FORWARD WITH THE HISTORY IN OUR TOWN SO WE CAN TAKE IT INTO ARCHIVES.

AND WE DO HAVE A TREASURE TROVE OF INFORMATION RIGHT OVER HERE THAT WE'RE DIGITIZING IS A

GREAT ASSET TO OUR TOWN. >> QUESTION, QUESTION ANYONE STANDING UP THERE?

YOU KNOW, I HAVE SOME DOES UP THERE WITH ME. >> I HAVE MY ENTOURAGE.

>> I'M EXCITED TO SEE ALL OF YOU. I'VE NOT MET ALL OF YOU.

OBVIOUSLY I KNOW AMANDA AND JERAD AND I'M EXCITED BY YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND YOUR YOUTH.

YOU'VE HAD SOME SUCCESS AS YOU JUST HIGHLIGHTED SOME OF THEM THE ARBOR PAVILION YOU WORKED WITH WITH THE TOWN SOME TIME AGO AND IT'S ENDED UP YOU ALL HAVE UTILIZED WISELY THE NUMBER OF EVENTS THAT YOU'RE SPEAKING TO RIGHT NOW ARE REALLY GREAT. GRANTS WHERE WHERE DO YOU LIE IN THE GRANT FIELD? ARE YOU DOING ANYTHING ON GRANT ?

WE'RE WE'RE SEEKING OUT A TAX GRANT FROM BEFORE COUNTY. >> WE SHOULD THERE'S JUST SOME PAPERWORK. WE'RE WAITING THOUGH THE FINAL APPROVAL FOR THAT WAS FOR A BIG

REPAIR TO ONE OF OUR HIGHEST OR OUT STRUCTURES. >> THE REASON I ASK I'M SORRY.

I MEAN THE REASON WE'RE STILL WAITING ON GETTING THAT IN. >> BUT THE REASON I ASK AND I DON'T KNOW HOW FEASIBLE IT IS FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION YOU KNOW YOU'RE HAVING TO REINVENT

YOURSELF AGAIN. >> AND I WORK FOR AN ORGANIZATION THAT A VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION THAT HAS A GRANT WRITER AND HE'S BEEN THERE THREE YEARS AND IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU CAN SEE CHET TRACK THE REVENUE AND IT JUST YOU JUST STARTS GOING WITH SOMEBODY WHO'S DEDICATED TO THAT PROCESS. SO BASED ON THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO BE A FOUNDATION, THAT IS SOMETHING I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD LOOK INTO. ONE QUESTION I HAD IS I WENT BACK PULL UP ALL YOUR BYLAWS AND EVERYTHING LOOKED AT YOU IN YOUR SUPPOSED TO HAVE TWO YEAR TERMS UP TO SIX YEARS APPEARS.

[00:15:05]

>> THE OTHER THING WAS ON THE I PULL UP THE 2015 STRATEGIC PLAN AND I WAS SITTING ON THE BOARD AT THAT TIME WITH A STRATEGIC PLAN AND UNFORTUNATELY IT APPEARS YOU'VE LOST ABOUT 50 PERCENT OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP. THAT NUMBER BACK THEN MR. STRAIGHT FROM THE REPORT FROM STAFF SAID CURRENT MEMBERSHIP IS ONE HUNDRED FORTY NINE MEMBERS OF WHICH 71 ARE ANNUAL PAYING, 15 ARE COMPLIMENTARY AND SIXTY THREE LIFETIME MEMBERS AND OUR DONORS RECEIVE A FREE MEMBERSHIP IF THEY WORK AT LEAST 12 HOURS IN A CALENDAR YEAR AND BLAH BLAH BLAH.

AND THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE AND IT WAS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO ME WHEN I TOOK THE SHORT TIME I WAS THERE. AND YOU KNOW I'M NOT TELLING YOU ANYTHING.

YOU KNOW I HAVE MEMBERS WHERE IT'S IN OUR SHORT LIST OF THINGS TO LOOK AT WHAT THE

MEMBERSHIP MEANS. >> AND THE WHOLE MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM ALTOGETHER BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'VE ONLY GOT YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A HANDFUL OF MEMBERS BUT OTHER THAN A STICKER ON THEIR CAR AND A DISCOUNT IN THE GIFT SHOP, WHAT DOES IT LIKE? WHAT'S WHAT'S THE DRAW OF BECOMING A MEMBER? SO WE'RE WORKING ON.

>> I SPEAK A LITTLE LOUDER, MIKE, SO OTHERS CAN HEAR YOU. >> SO WE'RE WORKING ON REVAMPING THAT WHOLE MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM AND WHAT TO MAKE IT MORE ENTICING THAN IT CURRENTLY

IS. >> OR YOU'RE DOING THE THINGS TO ENTICE PEOPLE THERE.

SOME SUGGESTED ON AND LET HIM GRAB SQUEEZED THEIR ARM AND I CAN CHIME WORKING ON IT.

>> BUT YOU KNOW, A 50 PERCENT REDUCTION THAT'S A BIG THAT'S A BIG NUMBER AND YOU'VE GOT IT YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO AND YOU KNOW AND I KNOW YOU'RE DEALING WITH STAFF ON AN EXIT STRATEGY FROM TWO YEARS FROM NOW WHEN SQUIRE POPE HOUSE IS COMPLETED.

>> AND YOU KNOW, I WOULD THINK I'D MAKE ONLY A SUGGESTION. YOU HAVE YOUR OWN ORGANIZATION TO RUN ENDURE IT. I KNOW YOU'RE WELL ACQUAINTED WITH THIS PROCESS BUT I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD COME UP WITH A PROPOSAL OF SOME KIND TO POSSIBLY SUBMIT TO THE TOWN NEAR THE END OF THE YEAR. WHAT ARE YOUR WHAT ARE YOUR MEASUREMENTS? WHAT ARE YOUR METRICS? I MEAN YOU YOU SAY I WANT TO GO HERE BUT HOW DO YOU INTEND TO GET THERE AND YOU NEED TO LAY THAT OUT AND THAT'S YOUR STRATEGY.

YOU KNOW, PUT IT ON PAPER, LAY IT OUT. YOU CAN CHANGE THE DESPERATE

GOAL AND THAT'S WHAT YOU MARK YOURSELF BACK IN. >> I HAVE CONTACTED I'VE HAD A MEETING WITH A BUSINESS GROUPS RECENTLY AND THEY ARE WILLING TO HELP US PRO BONO TO LOOK AT GOALS, STRATEGIES, HOW TO GET THERE. WE'VE GOT THE TALENT TALENTS

RIGHT HERE. YOU'VE GOT THE TALENT. >> SO YEAH, I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU COME BACK WITH SOMETHING FOR US TO LOOK AT SOME LATER POINT AND SEE IF YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. WELL, AGAIN, WE CAN'T TELL YOU HOW TO RUN YOUR ORGANIZATION.

IT'S MERELY A SUGGESTION. AND WE'VE ALSO BEEN TALKING WITH STEVEN AND CHRIS AND GLEN ABOUT PARTNERSHIP WITH THE TOWN . YOU GUYS WANT TO SEE FROM US WHAT YOU'RE EXPECTING, WHAT WE'RE THINKING AND HOW CAN WE DO THAT TOGETHER? SO WE STILL WANT TO HAVE ANOTHER MEETING WITH CHRIS AND STEVEN PATRICK AFTER THIS TO GO OVER SOME OF THOSE OTHER ITEMS. JUST SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT GOING FORWARD WHAT THOSE GOALS AND TACTICS ARE. SO WE JUST WANT TO BE COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT AND OPEN AND WE NEED HELP. SO THEY SEEM PRETTY PRETTY GOOD .

>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'M SURE YOU'LL FIGURE IT OUT. YEAH, I.

>> I'LL JUST SAY DID A TWO DAY ON I CAN TALK NOW BECAUSE I CAN'T VOTE ON ANYTHING I'LL BRING TO US. BUT MEMBERSHIP ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE AND YOU KNOW I THINK A LOT OF IT IS NOT BRING IN OTHERS IN AND I LOVE THIS GROUP BECAUSE IT'S ALL FRESH NEW FACES. I ALWAYS KIND OF TEASED ABOUT THE HAYWARD HOUSE BUT IT WAS SO TRUE WITH A SMALL MEMBERSHIP OF 50 AND IF ONE THAT IT MOVED TO 49 AND I THINK I THINK THAT'S RIGHT. SO YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST A CLOSED GROUP AND YOU LOOK AT BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB, YOU LOOK AT JUST NAME OF PEOPLE WHO'VE EMBRACED OUR GROWTH.

PEOPLE ARE ITCHING TO BE PART OF HISTORY. YOU CAN JUST PICK A COMMUNITY A MONTH AND I BET YOU AND YOU AND YOU NEED HELP GETTING EMAILS AND DATABASES.

WE ALL CAN FIGURE IT OUT AND SEND THEM. YEAH, JARED, GIVE JARED THAT COMPUTER FOR A WEEK. THE VIDEO IS AMAZING. I'D LOVE TO KNOW HOW MANY CLICKS YOU'VE HAD ON THAT VIDEO AND HAVE PEOPLE REALLY DONATED BEFORE YOU KNOW, AFTER THEY WATCHED IT. THAT IS FABULOUS. I DON'T THINK THAT GETS ENOUGH PRESS THAT OLD THAT OLD SCREEN SO YEAH, KEEP COMING TO US. WE'D LOVE TO SEE IT GO OUT.

WE ARE REALLY INVESTED BECAUSE WE GIVE A LOT OF MONEY AND EVERY YEAR THAT'S WHY WE WANT

[00:20:01]

WE'VE HAD 17 HUNDRED VISITORS TO OUR SITE. >> THAT CAME AS FAR AS JAPAN.

THEY JUST REALLY COOL STATISTICS THAT IF THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT TEN YEARS AGO WE SURELY CAN FIGURE IT OUT TODAY LIKE EVEN THEIR NAMES AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY EAT FOR DINNER.

SO NOW THAT WE CAN HAVE VISITORS. YEAH.

AND HOW ABOUT THE GA SERVING BARBIE HOUSE THAT NEEDS TO OPEN? IS THAT ON THE TABLE TO GET OPEN FOR WALK INS? ARE YOU ALL STILL DOING THAT? WE NEED TO TALK WITH STEPHEN AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO COORDINATE THAT BECAUSE WE'RE STILL TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS PART OF IT. OK, AND HOW THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AND WHO DOES WHAT. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO THINK.

THE LAST CONVERSATION WE HAD WAS NOT HAVING SOMEBODY THERE FOR WALK INS BUT IF SOMEBODY WANTED TO TAKE A TOUR THEY WOULD MEET HIM OVER THERE AND GIVE THEM A TOUR.

THE DOCENTS WOULD. SO WE'RE THERE THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT, TRYING TO EXPAND

THAT AND GET THAT BACK WHERE IT WAS. >> WE HAD ANOTHER GROUP THAT TOOK THE DONATIONS AND SAT THERE. I MEAN IT NEEDS TO BE OPEN.

WE SEEN A LOT OF PUBLIC MONEY ON THAT HOUSE. HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.

SO IT'S IT'S HARD WHEN PEOPLE ARE PEEKING THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND WE I THINK WE ALL HAVE TO

FIGURE THAT OUT NOT JUST JOHN. >> YEAH. AND THAT'S WHERE VIRGINIA AND THIS ONE. OH, NO, NO. NEITHER.

>> AND WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A LOT ALONG THE WAY. WE'VE BEEN FIGURING IT OUT LIKE

A CRASH COURSE LAST. YOU'VE GOT A GREAT TEAM. >> YEAH.

>> ONE LAST OBSERVATION I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS TODAY IS THERE'S A LOT OF NONPROFITS IN THE COMMUNITY AND ALL OF US SERVE ON A NONPROFIT AND A LOT OF US ARE ALL COMPETING FOR THE SAME PILE OF MONEY. RIGHT. LIKE I WOULDN'T NAME NAMES BUT WHETHER IT'S PEOPLE IN NEED OF FOOD OR MEDICAL OR WHATEVER IT IS.

>> YOU'RE UNIQUE. NOBODY HAS YOUR GAME. NOBODY'S DOING PRESERVATION.

SO I THINK YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE. A LOT OF US ARE ALL COMPETING FOR THE SAME DOLLARS. YOU'RE GONNA BE COMPETING FOR SOMETHING ENTIRELY TO GET THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GIVE TO THAT MINDSET WILL. SO I THINK YOU GOT A LOT OF WORK. WE HAVE A LOT MORE THAN WHAT WE SPOKE ABOUT TONIGHT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES THAT JEN AND I ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT BEFORE WE PRESENT TO PEOPLE SO THERE IS MORE THOUGHTS. WELL, BRINGING US TO CONTINUE TO BRING IT AS AN UPDATE IF IT'S EVERY OTHER COMMENT PUBLIC COMMENT, JUST GET WITH CAMPBELL IN THREE MINUTES.

>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO A LONG PRESENTATION AND GIVE US SOME A BULLET TO IT GETS THE NEWS OUT TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE. SAL WELL, A GOOD GRIEF. WELCOME.

NICE TO MEET Y'ALL. I KNEW YOU, EVAN, BUT I GREW UP IN BLUFFTON.

SHE WAS MY NEIGHBOR WHEN SHE WAS ALL OF THEM FOR SHE'S GROWN UP.

[VII. Public Comment]

>> THANK Y'ALL TO YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY.

NEXT PUBLIC COMMENT PUBLIC COMMENT IS THREE MINUTES IN LENGTH.

IF YOU WOULD FOLLOWED OUR RULES OF DECORUM YOU MUST GIVE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS BEFORE YOU START THREE MINUTES AND THEN WE POLITELY THANK YOU WHEN THAT BUZZER GOES OFF, SPEAK TO

COUNSEL. >> AVOID ANY DISRESPECT TO ANYONE IN THIS ROOM.

CONFINE YOUR QUESTIONS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THIS COUNCIL POSSIBLE AND JUST BASICALLY BE

MINDFUL AND RESPECTFUL OF THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT. >> SO WE HAVE ONE TONIGHT AND

IT'S MY CALL. PLEASE. >> ABOUT THOSE SPARE US ADDRESS PLEASE SIR. WHEN YOU GET WHEN YOU GET UP TO THE MIKE.

GOOD EVENING HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL. >> MY NAME IS MIKE POLICE AND I LIVE IN HILTON HEAD PLANTATION IN HILTON HEAD ISLAND. THEN A KIND OF IRONIC WE'RE HERE IN A SCHOOL BUILDING THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT STILL OWNS BUT I'VE BEEN A PROPERTY OWNER FOR COUNTY SINCE 1991 FULL TIME RESIDENCES 2008 WITNESSED EXPLOSIVE BLUFFTON GROWTH AIDED BY ANNEXATION SUPPORTED TRANSPORTATION TAXES, REFERENDUMS CREATED BLUFFTON PARKWAY AND 278 170 WHINING TO NAME A FEW MUST ADD UP TO OVER A BILLION DOLLARS.

MORSI AND MORRISON SUGGESTED TO BE NEEDED. I'VE ALSO SUPPORTED SCHOOL BAND REFERENDUMS TO BUILD EXPAND BLUFFTON SCHOOLS IN WORD AND DEED BY VOLUNTEERING.

FUNDING FOR SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION IS LIMITED TO COUNTYWIDE VOTER REFERENDUMS AND SCHOOL IMPACT FEES. THAT'S IT. AS YOU KNOW I WATCHED IN HORROR AT THE NUMBER OF PREPLANNED FALSE FLAGS AT YOUR LAST MEETING.

[00:25:03]

SERIOUSLY HOW BIG THEY'RE GOING TO BE WELL WORTH IN YOUR FRENETIC BUILDING PACE.

YOU CAN EASILY ELIMINATE OR REDUCE YOU SKY PERMIT FEES OR YOU CAN SIMPLY PAY FOR THEM WITH THE REVENUE YOU EASILY COLLECT. ONE OF YOU BROUGHT UP 388 THAT DOESN'T COVER SCHOOL BAND TAXES ONE BIT. THE BOTTOM LINE IS HOW IT LOOKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE . YOU WANT TO PASS THE BUCK TO ALL COUNTY TAXPAYERS LIKE FREELOADERS. THAT'S HOW IT WORKS.

JUST AS YOU HAVE DONE IN THE PAST. IF YOU FAIL TO ENACT SCHOOL IMPACT FEES YOU CAN EXPECT STIFF RESIST ORGANIZED RESISTANCE TO ANY FUTURE

REFERENDUM THAT BENEFITS BLUFFTON ROADS OR SCHOOLS. >> THAT'S A PROMISE.

IF THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON WON'T DIRECTLY SUPPORT THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILDREN, WHY SHOULD

[VIII. Communications from Mayor and Council]

NEXT IS COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR COUNCIL. I'LL LOOK TO THE RIGHT ANYTHING ON THE SIDE? ON THIS SIDE. DO WE HAVE ANY UPDATES FROM ANY

OF THE COMMITTEES YOU ALL SERVE ? >> I DON'T HAVE THEM IN FRONT OF ME BUT YOU'LL ALL KNOW WHO YOU SERVE. ANY UPDATES FROM YOUR MEETINGS? IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY IN THE LAST MONTH THE ONLY THING I WILL OFFER IS LOCOG COUNTRY COUNCIL THE GOVERNMENTS I MENTIONED LAST TIME ABOUT THE CENSUS AND IT COULD IMPACT THIS

AND GOT WITH STEPHEN A. >> ACTUALLY PREPARED A DOCUMENT I WAS GONNA GIVE TO EVERYBODY BUT WHICH CONTESTANT DOWN BUT THEN I GOT A CALL FROM THE DIRECTOR BECAUSE I HAD SOME QUESTIONS AND SUPPOSEDLY SHE IS GOING TO COME SPEAK TO DIFFERENT GROUPS ABOUT THAT BECAUSE AGAIN THE BOARD CAN BE SO LARGE WE CAN'T MANAGE IT. SO ANYWAY THERE'S MORE TO COME

IN THE FUTURE HOPEFULLY ABOUT THAT. >> JUST AN UPDATE ON THE LOCAL WHEAT. SPEAKING OF MAKING UP IMPACT FEES.

>> THE COUNTY HAD NOT DELIVERED THE AGM TO ANY OF THE MUNICIPALITIES.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE YET OR NOT. ON THE TRAFFIC IMPACT FEE YOU

MEAN THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING? >> THE RGA FOR THE NEW IMPACT FEE THAT THAT MAYOR MURRAY SAID WE HADN'T RECEIVED THE RGA WAS STILL NOTHING ON ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL IMPACT

FEE EVERYTHING ELSE. >> I KNOW HEATHER ACTUALLY WENT TO A MEETING THEY HAD ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION IMPACT FEE ABOUT LOOKING AT THE PROJECTS AND TRYING TO GET IT DOWN TO SOMETHING MANAGEABLE. BUT WE STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE RGA OR ANYTHING RELATED TO

THAT. >> SO THAT'S NOT ON OUR PLATE HOW IT'S GONNA RESPOND TO HIM.

IT'S NOT COWARDLY. WE HAVE QUESTIONS THAT AREN'T ANSWERED.

PERIOD. SO I THINK HE NEEDS TO SPEAK TO HILTON HEAD COUNSEL AND I WOULD HAVE TOLD HIM THAT IF HE WOULD HAVE STAYED THERE SO MUCH FOR THAT.

I AGREE. THANK YOU. WE'LL DO IT.

>> WE JUST WON AN AWARD FROM THE MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION. OUR REFLECTION GARDEN THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH OF ALL OF OUR STAFF. SPECIFICALLY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND DAN SHOUTED OUT TO BRIDGET WHICH BRIDGET YOU DID BRING UP THE WHOLE THE WORK SOCIAL WORKER AND REALLY FOCUSING ON MENTAL HEALTH. I REALLY THINK THAT SPEARHEADED THIS AND DEBBIE LISTENS TO ALL OF US AND JUST WHITTLED DOWN HER CREATIVE ROOM AND WE WENT OUT AFTER THIS AWARD THAT WE'VE NEVER REALLY GONE OUT AFTER IT WHEN IT'S AN AWARD THAT EVERY

TOWN COULD CAPTURE, IT'S NOT IN OUR POPULATION NUMBERS ANYMORE. >> SO CHIEF STEVEN, GO ON AND TALK A LITTLE AND SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT. DO WE WANT TO BRING IT TO COUNCIL FULL FLEDGED COUNCIL? WE WON'T ACTUALLY GET AWARDED UNTIL THE JULY ANNUAL MEETING BUT I'LL LET THE CHIEF TALK ABOUT WHAT SHE WENT HER AND SERGEANT AND PRESENT IT ABOUT EVERYTHING. HE'S OUR WELLNESS RECRUITING SERGEANT.

SO THEY WHEN PRESENTED AND SHE CAN TALK ABOUT GOOD EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING HERE. AS YOU KNOW, MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF THE OFFICERS PARTICULARLY TOWN OF BLUFFTON IS VERY IMPORTANT AND NEAR AND DEAR TO OUR HEARTS. I'VE BEEN MORE THAN PLEASED THAT YOU ALL HAVE SUPPORTED ALL YOUR INITIATIVES FOR THIS. VERY MUCH SO WITH BUDGET EMOTIONAL SUPPORT.

EVERY KIND OF SUPPORT THAT YOU CAN HAVE IN TOWN MANAGER AND TOWN STAFF AS WELL.

THIS IS A PROJECT THAT DIDN'T JUST ENCOMPASS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN ENCOMPASSED OUR WHOLE TOWN AND INVOLVE COMMUNITY PARTNERS. IT REALLY IS A CHANCE FOR ALL

[00:30:07]

AND TRUST ME WHEN I TELL YOU THAT WHEN WE WENT AND WE MADE THE PRESENTATION AT THE END OF FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 28 AS A MATTER OF FACT IT WAS A TOWN DRIVEN COMMUNITY EFFORT THAT WE TALKED ABOUT. WE TALKED ABOUT OUR 10 TIER SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE AND MANY OF YOU NOT ONLY SUPPORT THOSE INITIATIVES BUT HAVE COME UP WITH AS WELL WITH OUR BEHAVIORAL MENTAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS IN OUR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE.

>> SO THOUGH WE WON THIS AWARD AS A TOWN OF BLUFFTON, YOU ALL WANT IT TO.

>> BUT A REALLY NEAT DIVERSE GROUP AND HEAVY BLUFFTON MAY RIVER AND BLUFFTON HASKELL HAD MOST OF THEM AND THERE WERE SOME STUDENTS FROM BLUFFTON THAT WENT TO TWO OTHER SCHOOLS.

SO EVEN THE BOARD SAID COULDN'T WHAT DO YOU HELP FEED YOUR CHILDREN LIKE BLUFFTON WATER AND THEY DRINK IT. SO REALLY IT WAS REALLY COOL. I HOPE YOU'LL GET TO SEE

ANY SUGGESTIONS? GET OUR NONPROFITS IN A ROOM. >> I'M OPEN NOW THAT WE DON'T LIKE THE IDEA. WE'RE SEEING CASES DRAG ON EVENTS THAT.

WE'LL SEE MORE APPLICATIONS MAYBE. LOOK AT THAT.

OH, I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY. JUST ONE QUESTION.

HOW MUCH IS OUR LIMIT ON ON THE AMOUNT OF A TAX THAT WE CAN USE FOR THIS PROJECT? I KNOW THERE'S BOUNDARIES AND GUIDELINES THAT WE HAVE TO GO BY.

SO WHAT FOR? WITH WHICH PROJECT FOR THE SQUIRE POPE?

>> I MEAN IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN KEEP TAPPING INTO WHERE EVERY QUARTER OR IS THERE SOME TYPE OF LIMIT ON HOW MUCH OF THE A A TYPE SO WE CAN ACTUALLY USE?

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT THERE WILL BE ROUGH STUFF. >> I HATE IT BUT I DO NOT BELIEVE THERE IS A LIMIT. WE CAN WE CAN WE CAN GET THAT ANSWER FOR YOU BUT I AM NOT AWARE WILL LIMIT. I WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. IF YOU KNOW WE HAVE A LIMIT THEN WHY YOU IN THE ACTIVE FOR 15? THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT.

4 OUT FOR BID AND READY AND GET MOVING FORWARD WITH. AND ONCE WE GET PAST STABILIZATION AND WE GET BETTER COST FOR WHAT'S THE NEXT PHASE WILL PROBABLY COME BACK AND ASK FOR ADDITIONAL SAME QUESTION. THE 250 THAT WAS BASED ON THE ESTIMATE THEY HAD FOR SHOWING UP IN THE BRIEFING AND ALL THAT. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST BASE CASE COMES IN HERE SHE CAN BUY BETTER OR NOT. SHE ACTUALLY ACTUALLY PREPARE AN APPLICATION AN EVENING COUNSEL. PLEASURE TO BE HERE.

>> SO TO SIR, TO YOUR QUESTION THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS AVAILABLE THAT NEEDED TO BE EXPENDED OR WAS GOING TO HAVE TO BE TURNED BACK INTO THE STATE.

SO THE TOWN DIDN'T WANT TO COMPETE WITH OTHER NONPROFITS. HOWEVER, THESE FUNDS WERE NOT GOING TO BE GRANTED AND WE HAD A PROJECT THAT WAS SUITABLE AND APPROPRIATE AND THAT'S WHAT WE TOOK. IS THAT CORRECT? DOUBLE CHECKING WITH ALWAYS JUMP ON GUARD SARA RALLY HOOKS AND WE'RE NOT COMPETING WITH NOBODY LIKE WE'RE NOT GETTING

THEM IN THE DOOR. >> THEY CAN ALWAYS DENY US ARE RECOMMEND LESS IN HISTORY.

[00:40:03]

>> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE HAD EVER GONE FOR ANY A TECH FUNDS.

SO THIS WAS OUR TRIAL SEEING HOW THE COMPANY WOULD RESPOND AS WELL AS COUNCIL AND AGAIN ENSURING THAT WE WEREN'T COMPETING WITH ANY OTHER NONPROFIT FITS.

THIS WAS THE LAST MINUTE. HEY, WE'RE NOT GETTING APPLICATIONS AND THE TOWN HAS A PROJECT. WHY DON'T WE APPLY FOR THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE MIGHT

HAVE TO TURN BACK INTO THE STATE SO THAT WE DON'T DO THAT? >> I WAS THINKING IT WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SEE US COMING FOR SOMETHING FOR THIS PROJECT. WE THOUGHT WE'D CLEAR TWO TYPES OF PATENTS BOTH STATE AND LOCAL. SO THIS WAS TO SPEND MY STATE SO THAT WE DIDN'T LOSE IT WHEN IT EXPIRED. BUT THE LOCAL A TAX WE ARE PLANNING TO UTILIZE IS MORE A GREATER PORTION OF THAT THIS YEAR.

THE PROPOSED BUDGET WHICH WE TALKED ABOUT WOULD GO BACK TO WHAT YOU JUST SAID THE STATE

YOU CAN LOSE IT. >> YEAH. THERE WAS A TIME FOR FIGURES THE RECEIPT AND JUST PRINT YOU'RE THE ATTORNEY BUT I'VE NEVER WHEN I USED TO READ THAT

STUFF. >> THE STATUTE OR I NEVER SAW WHERE THERE WAS EVER A LIMIT.

RIGHT. TAX DOLLARS AS TO THINK YOU DIDN'T LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE

TO ME, YOU KNOW? >> I THINK THAT'S THE BIG PICTURE.

SO MANY WE HAVE ACCESS TO AND NOW IS THE TIME ANYTHING ELSE? >> THANK YOU, NATALIE.

[X.2. Consideration of Amendments to the Town of Bluffton Code of Ordinances, Chapter 23 - Unified Development Ordinance - Article 5 - Design Standards, Sec. 5.3. Natural Resources: Tree Conservation, Planting & Landscaping, Specific to Sec. 5.3.3., Tree Conservation, Sec. 5.3.7., Lot Landscaping and Sec. 5.3.8., Fee in Lieu of Tree Replacement and/or Landscaping - First Reading - Kevin Icard, Director of Growth Management]

>> YES MA'AM. YES YOU KIND OF TEED IT UP FOR ME.

AS YOU ALL KNOW WE'RE HERE THIS EVENING FOR MOMENTS TO THE MEDIA.

THE SECTIONS THAT WERE JUST REFERENCED THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING.

WE'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH QUITE A FEW OF THE AUDIO EDITS. THIS IS ONE THAT WAS BROUGHT BACK WORKSHOP. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE BUT WE WERE ABLE TO CONSOLIDATE A LOT OF THESE REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE OF THE STORM WATER REGULATIONS THAT WERE PASSED BACK IN SEPTEMBER. SO WE'RE ASKING THEM TO MODIFY OUR REQUIREMENTS.

BUT ONCE WE GOT THE STORMWATER REGS IN PLACE WE'RE ACTUALLY ABLE TO THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. SO AGAIN THE STORMWATER ORDINANCE WAS UPDATED THAT SECTION 5 10 OF THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE. SO A COUPLE OF THINGS IS THAT IT PROHIBITS THE MASQUERADING CLEARING TO ENSURE PROPER DRAINAGE REQUIRES THAT BETTER SITE DESIGN PRACTICES AND THAT'S TO PRESERVE NATURAL BUFFERS AS WELL AS TREES THAT THAT BEYOND THOSE BUFFERS AND THEN THE STORMWATER ORDINANCE DOES APPLY TOWN WIDE AND THEN THESE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU BECAUSE OF THE STORMWATER ORDINANCE THE WAY THAT IT IS WRITTEN IT REFERENCES BACK TO THIS SECTION FIVE POINT THREE WHICH THEN GIVES US THE ABILITY TO APPLY THESE CONDITIONS TOWN WIDE. SO WHAT WE'RE DOING IT'S NOT JUST IN AREAS REGULATED BY THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT BUT IS OVER THE ENTIRE TOWN.

>> SO SOME OF THE THINGS CURRENTLY WE DO REQUIRE A 75 PERCENT TREE CANOPY FOR AREAS THAT ARE NOT LOCATED WITHIN THE NOT IN APD. WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS IF YOU HAVE A PROPERTY THAT IS BEING DEVELOPED THAT IS LESS THAN ONE ACRE THAT YOU'LL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A 75 PERCENT TREE CANOPY. NOW I CAN'T GIVE YOU THAT.

I CAN GIVE YOU THE EXACT AMOUNT OF 75 PERCENT. BUT IT IS DEPENDS ON THE TYPES OF TREES. SO DIFFERENT TREES HAVE DIFFERENT CANOPIES.

AND WHEN WE CALCULATE THAT IT'S ALL CALCULATED AT WORK GROWTH. SO THIS WOULD APPLY TO ALL OF THE ALL OF THE PROPERTIES AND LET'S SEE. AND THEN THE BUFFERED TREES MAY COUNT TOWARDS MEETING THAT CANOPY REQUIREMENT. SO FOR LAND DISTURBANCE THAT IS AT LEAST ONE ACRE WE WOULD ACQUIRE THE 15 HARDWOOD TREES AND THAT THE EXISTING TREES WITHIN THE BUFFERS WOULD NOT BE COUNTED TOWARDS THAT REQUIREMENT.

I KNOW THAT WAS A BIG CONCERN IN THE PAST AS PEOPLE WERE KIND OF MEETING THAT LOOPHOLE OF .

WELL, WE HAVE THESE YOU KNOW, 700 TREES IN A BUFFER SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SAVE ANY OTHER TREES WHERE WE'RE DEVELOPING. SO THAT IS THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT YOU AS COUNSEL HAD. SO WE MADE SURE THAT WE ADDRESSED THAT AND THIS WOULD APPLY ALL APPLY TOWN WIDE. SO WE DO HAVE A REPLACEMENT FOR LARGE PROTECTED TREES.

SO PROTECT PROTECTED TREES IN ANY TREE THAT IS IT IS OVER EIGHT INCHES AND WE HAVE A REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENT. SO IF YOU HAVE TREES THAT ARE EIGHT TO 12 INCHES, IT'S A IT'S

[00:45:01]

SIGNIFICANT TREES WHICH ARE 24 INCHES WOULD REQUIRE FIVE TREES AND THEN FOUR TREES THAT ARE UNDER THE THE THE AMERICAN HOLLY DOGWOOD RED BUDS SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA AND THE RED BUCKEYE IS A ONE REPLACEMENT NOW WE ARE SO WE ALSO WHEN THOSE TREES ARE BEING PLANTED THAT IS A TWO AND A HALF INCH CALIPER WHICH IS IT'S REALLY NOT THAT BIG. WE'RE TALKING LIKE THIS BIG ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE ENCOURAGING LARGER TREES TO BE REPLANTED. SO THAT WAY IF YOU ARE IF YOU'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE 12 TREES JUST USING ROUND NUMBERS RIGHT NOW TWELVE TREES AT TWO AND HALF INCHES THEN YOU COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE SIX TREES THAT ARE AT FOUR INCHES. SO WHAT THAT OBVIOUSLY IT COSTS IT COSTS MORE FOR A LARGER TREE BUT THEN FROM THE IMPACT STANDPOINT YOU DO YOU GET A LARGER TREE THAT IS BEING PLANTED IMMEDIATELY HAS AN IMPACT TO IT.

AND THEN ALSO IF YOU HAVE A SIX INCH CALIPER TREE THAT WOULD COUNT TOWARDS THE THREE TREE REPLACEMENTS AND JUST ANYTHING BEYOND SIX INCHES FOR TREES ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO TRANSPLANT.

SO IF YOU PLANT A TREE THAT'S LARGER THAN THAT. THE LIKELIHOOD OF IT DYING IS GREATER. SO WE TYPICALLY DO NOT BE A DO NOT GO BEYOND THAT SIX INCH

CALIPER. >> WE ARE INCLUDING THE FEE IN LIEU OF THE TREE PLANTING SO OF ANY THESE REPLACEMENT TREES THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED THAT CANNOT BE CANNOT CANNOT BE PLANTED ON SITE THEY COULD PAY INTO THE TREE FUND AND THAT FEE IS BASED OFF OF THE TREE CALIPER INCH AT MARKET RATE. SO DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROCESS IS WHEN WE WOULD BE CALCULATING ALL OF THESE TREES, ALL OF THE REPLACEMENT TREES THAT WHERE THERE ARE GOING TO GO AND IF THEY CAN'T MEET THAT REQUIREMENT AT THAT POINT THEY WOULD WE WOULD WORK OUT THE CALCULATIONS TO FIGURE OUT HOW MUCH THEY WOULD HAVE TO THEN PAY INTO THE TREE FUND.

WHAT THEY WOULD DO IS THEY WOULD GO TO A A REPUTABLE TREE NURSERY TO GET A QUOTE FOR THE COST OF COST OF THE TREE COST OF THE INSTALLATION AND THE COST OF THE ONE YEAR MAINTENANCE THEY PROVIDE THAT DOCUMENT'S PATIENT TO US. WE REVIEW IT TO MAKE SURE IT IS IT IS CORRECT AND THEN THEY WOULD PAY THAT AMOUNT INTO THE TREE FUND AND THEN IT COULD GO

TOWARDS PLANTING MAINTENANCE OF TREES FOR PUBLIC PROJECTS. >> WE HAVE THE REVIEW CRITERIA THAT WERE LISTED IN THE STAFF REPORT HAPPY TO GO OVER ANY OF THEM.

AGAIN, THIS IS ALL HIGH LEVEL IF YOU WANT HAPPY TO GO THROUGH THE ACTUAL TEXT ITSELF BUT IT DOES MEET THE REVIEW CRITERIA. THIS WAS REVIEWED AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION AT THEIR LAST MEETING 4 TO 1. SO THIS EVENING YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU THE ABILITY TO APPROVE THE APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED APPROVE IT WITH AMENDMENTS OR TO DENY THE APPLICATION PROCESS WISE THIS EVENING OR THE FIRST READING AND THEN IT'S ANTICIPATED WILL BRING THIS BACK TO YOU IN APRIL FOR A SECOND READING.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE QUESTIONS GIVEN ON ONE POINT HERE OF LOOKS A LITTLE OPEN ENDED TO ME WITH THE SPECIES OF TREE.

>> YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW THEM TO TO GO AND GET A QUOTE SO TO SPEAK OF A REPLACEMENT TREE, WHAT IT WOULD COST THE ONE YEAR MAINTENANCE AND ALL THAT, HOW ARE WE GONNA.

HOW WOULD YOU TELL THEM? HOW WOULD YOU PREVENT THEM? I GUESS I WOULD SAY FROM GOING AND BUYING THE CHEAPEST TREE. UNDERSTANDABLE. SO INSTEAD OF A VALLEY AN OAK TREE, THEY'RE GOING TO GO BUY SOMETHING AS THEY HAVE TO USE IT WOULD HAVE TO BE NATIVE

NATIVE TYPE TREE SO YOU CAN'T USE LIKE AN INVASIVE SPECIES. >> AND THEN ALSO WE DO REQUIRE THAT THAT THE HARDWOOD TREES SO YOU'D GO WITH A LIST OF OF ELMS OF OAKS.

YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO THINK OF A FEW OTHER ONES BUT THE ACTUAL HARDWOOD YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T USE YOU CAN'T USE PALM TREES TO MEET THAT REQUIREMENT .

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T USE WAX MORTALS OR CREATE HURDLES TO MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS.

THOSE ARE NOT ALLOWED. SO THE ACTUAL COST OF IT IS THE NURSERY REGULATES THESE COSTS.

SO WE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE MIXTURE OF THE HARDWOODS AS YOU NORMALLY WOULD BE REQUIRED AND IN A LANDSCAPE PLAN, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THOSE TREES THAT ARE THERE MISSING WHATEVER CALCULATION IS WE'D BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE THERE NOT JUST FINDING, YOU KNOW, A ONE AND A HALF INCH GREAT MYRTLE TREE AND WE WOULD LIKE NO THAT DOESN'T

[00:50:05]

SO JUST LOOKS A LITTLE CLEAR. >> SEE THAT SHOWS THESE ARE NOT TREES A LOT.

IS THAT A NORMAL PARTY OF PROCESS IN SOME BOOK THAT TELLS THEM THEY CAN'T HAVE WAX MODELS OR YOU SAID THEY'RE NOT LAB. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT IN IN THE LANDSCAPING SECTIONS OF THE CODE WE WE DO HAVE THAT INFORMATION ALREADY AND THERE

IS NO QUESTION. >> KEVIN , I JUST HAD A COMMENT I LOVE THE DETAIL AND EVERYTHING THAT WENT INTO THE PLAN THAT WE ARE PROGRESSIVE IN CONSIDERATION OF BEING ABLE TO RE FORCE AND REPLANT WHEN DEVELOPMENT AND THINGS OCCUR THAT MIGHT DISTURB PROPERTIES.

SO I'M GLAD TO SEE WHERE WE'RE IN THAT DIRECTION. THANK YOU.

ONE QUESTION THE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS I DON'T EVEN KNOW. SO IF YOU HAVE 10 ACRES AND FIVE OF US WHAT DO THEY EVER HAVE A REASON TO GO INTO THE WETLANDS TO REMOVE TREES FOR SOME REASONS IF THEY'RE IF THEY'RE IMPACTING A WETLAND LIKE THERE THEY'RE WANTING TO

THEY GET AN ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEER PERMIT. >> THEY HAVE THAT ABILITY IF THEY'RE CROSSING A WETLAND THEY HAVE THAT ABILITY OBVIOUSLY EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PERMITTED . BUT BUT THOSE ARE POSSIBLE IMPACTS TO A WETLAND OR FILL IT IN. A LOT OF PLACES DO HAVE EXISTING PERMITS FROM 20, 20 YEARS AGO TO FILL IN A LOT OF THESE PERMITS AND THAT'S WHAT WAS AS THESE PD CAME ON LONG CAME ONLINE THEY GOT A LOT OF THOSE PERMITS A LONG TIME AGO BUT THEY THEY ARE VALID FOR FOUR YEARS AT A TIME AND JUST I THINK WE NEED TO PUT TOGETHER A MAP SHOWING WHERE WE'VE PLANTED I THINK WE NEED TO COMMIT TO PLANNING NOT PAYING FOR EVENTS OR YOU KNOW AND I GUESS I KNOW ARBOR IS IMPORTANT BUT WHERE ARE THE AREAS WE NEED TO REPLANT? MAYBE THAT'S THE THAT THE BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE WORK ON THAT.

>> YES, MA'AM. WE'LL HAVE SOME AIR YOU KNOW ONE SO THEY PAY WHATEVER THIS IS WHERE THEY'RE GROWN. YES, MA'AM. MAYBE MAYBE SOMETHING.

JUST A THOUGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> YEAH.

JUST REAL QUICK. IT'S A COMMON AMOUNT YOU WILL SEE IN YOUR STRATEGIC PLAN AN ITEM THERE IS THE REFORESTATION PLAN THAT IS A SEPARATE ACTION ITEM AND WE SEE THIS AS WORKING TOGETHER WITH THAT. SO THE FUNDS THAT WE WILL RECEIVE FROM THE FEE IN LIEU OF WOULD BE USED FOR THAT REPORT STATION PLAN AND WE HAVEN'T QUITE FIGURED OUT ALL THE DETAILS OF THAT BUT WE'RE LOOKING OTHERS SUCH AS CITY OF GREENVILLE THAT HAS A GOOD PROGRAM TOGETHER THAT DOES IDENTIFY WHERE TO PLAN, HOW TO DISTRIBUTE TREES, WHERE THEY CAN GO, ALL SORTS OF DETAILS. SO THAT'S THE NEXT STEP. ANYTHING ELSE IS FIRST READING.

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENTS TO THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON CODE OF ORDINANCES CHAPTER 23? YOU KNOW, ARTICLE 5 DESIGN STANDARD SECTION FIVE POINT THREE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION PLANTING AND LANDSCAPING SPECIFIC TO FIVE POINT THREE THREE TREE CONSERVATION SECTION FIVE POINT THREE SEVEN LOT LANDSCAPING AND SECTION FIVE POINT PLEASE POINT EIGHT THE IN LIEU OF TREE REPLACEMENT AND ASK A CIVIC LANDSCAPING. THAT WOULD BE EMOTION. SO MO FARAH ANY DISCUSSION.
