IF WE CAN STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE ALLEGIANCE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA JULIE JULIA

READ ALL OF IT. >> SHE STANDS ONE NATION INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. I WAS TOLD FIVE MINUTES AGO AND I ALREADY FORGOT THAT IF YOU WANT TO TALK YOU NEED PRESS YOUR BUTTON AND YOU GET A LITTLE GREEN LIGHT FOR COAL AND I THINK THEY'RE GOING TO SERVE BREAKFAST IN A LITTLE WHILE FOR EVERYBODY THAT GET REALLY NO.

[3. FOIA – PUBLIC NOTIFICATION OF THIS MEETING HAS BEEN PUBLISHED, POSTED, AND DISTRIBUTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.]

DO WE HAVE QUORUM? OH, THAT'S RIGHT. WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM YET.

SO WE WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT. I GUESS WE'LL ASK FOR ANY CITIZEN COMMENTS SEEING NONE.

[6. STEPHANIE ROSSI, LOWCOUNTRY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS – ENDORSEMENT OF LOWCOUNTRY MILITARY INSTALLATION RESILIENCE REVIEW (“MIRR”) REPORT]

>> STEPHANIE EUROPE QUICKER THAN YOU THOUGHT. WE'LL HEAR FROM STEPHANIE ROSSI ON THE RESILIENCE REVIEW MRI. YEAH, YOU CAN BE MITCH. GERALD R. YORK I RECOMMEND YOU PLAY THE PART OF MITCH GENERALS HAVE ALL THE FUN. SO I DON'T HAVE A FORMAL

PRESENTATION TODAY. I DID IT ON YOUR OWN. >> NOT LOUD.

WE WERE LOOKING FOR ADOPTION TO INKWELL TO ENDORSE OR SUPPORT THE MERGER SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT. THE CONTRACT ACTUALLY OR THE GRANT ENDS ON THE END OF THE MONTH. BUT I CAN COME BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING AND A QUORUM MET TODAY.

UM AND LOOK FOR POTENTIALLY HAVING YOUR COUNCIL'S UH GO ON AND ENDORSE I SO I DO HAVE THE ONE PAGE HANDOUT TOO. I CAN GIVE YOU FOLKS BECAUSE IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO READ ALL HUNDRED AND THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS ABOUT IT ALSO I DID SEE THEM AS ONLINE.

>> IF THERE IS THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE TECHNICAL QUESTIONS OR ANYTHING WHEN YOU WERE READING OR REVIEWING IT. HE COULD PROBABLY ANSWER SOME OF THOSE BEFORE HE MOVES ON CONTRACT IS OVER BUT I DID WANT TO GIVE YOU A HEADS WE ARE STILL TALKING WITH ALL YOU SEE THAT'S THE DEPARTMENT AT DIA D THAT FUNDED THIS PROJECT AND THEY ARE VERY INTERESTED IN DOING A FOLLOW ON GRANT. WE'RE STILL KIND OF HAVE THE IN THE AIR AND FIGURING HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK AND EXACTLY.

BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT SHELL POINT AND TALKING TO PARRIS ISLAND ABOUT THAT JUST MAKING SURE THERE'S NO ISSUES WITH THE PROPERTY BECAUSE THEY OWN THE LAND THAT'S UNDER THE INTERCHANGE. SO THERE'S SOME ISSUES BUT THEY'VE SENT IN SOME QUESTIONS TO THEIR LEGAL TEAM ABOUT THAT. SO ANYWAY, I'M HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN MAKE SOMETHING MOVE FORWARD BUT IT WOULD POSSIBLY PROVIDE FUNDING FOR SCOPE PROJECT SCOPING AND PARTIAL DESIGN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME DIFFERENT HIGH FEBRUARY IF YOU'RE ONLINE AND GIVE A QUICK HIGHLIGHT OF WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, IT WAS SOME SHORELINE STABILIZATION AND MARTIN HAVING BEEN WITH SHAREPOINT YOU PUT IT IN THAT PILOT PROJECT THERE IS A TON MORE THAT WE HAVE AND A KIND OF PROJECT SCOOPING REPORT FROM THAT ONE AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS SHORING STABILIZATION, LOOKING AT JUST DESTROYING IS BEGINNING TO ERODE AWAY.

>> WE'RE LOOKING HABITAT RESTORATION IS ANOTHER ELEMENT WE GIVE A LITTLE MORE RESILIENT AND THEN DIFFERENT STEPS THAT YOU CAN TAKE. ALSO JUST MODERN MANAGEMENT WATERBOARDING WAS ENGINEERED TO GIVE MORE RESILIENCE TO THE INTERCHANGE FROM COASTAL FLOODING AND RAINFALL. SO THERE'S A COUPLE DIFFERENT LAYERED FLOODING AND COASTAL HABITATS. SOME AREAS WE ARE HOPING TO CONTINUE FURTHER MEAN START ACTUAL DESIGN AT LEAST A PERMANENT PLANNING. THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. >> I'D LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT YOU GIVE US A DEADLINE TO GET

[00:05:06]

I DON'T WHAT THAT DEADLINE NEEDS TO BE BUT MAYBE MAYBE YOU CAN TELL US WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.

>> I WAS HOPING WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A QUORUM TODAY FOR ACTION RIBAUT.

WE CAN TAKE COMMENTS UP. I CAN CONTINUE TO TAKE THEM. I JUST WE'RE GOING TO SHERWOOD ENGINEERS AS CONTRACTORS COMING TO A CLOSE. SO WHAT EDITS AND THINGS WE CAN DO MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE LIMITED IN TERMS OF LIKE OVERALL SCOPE OF THE THE RECOMMENDATIONS BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO TAKE COMMENTS ESPECIALLY IF WE CAN MOVE FORWARD INTO THAT NEXT PROJECT WITH THE OLD DC. I WOULD BE REALLY HOPEFUL THAT WE ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE THIS GREATER FOLLOW ON GRANTS AND HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS. I WOULD AGREE WITH COUNCILWOMAN HOWARD ABOUT SOME SOME GUIDANCE ON FEEDBACK. I'VE MADE IT THROUGH A LITTLE OVER HALF OF THE REPORT BUT I DIDN'T DIDN'T GET TO THE WHOLE THING. I'M PREPARED TO TALK ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE ISSUES TODAY IF THAT'S APPROPRIATE. BUT MAYBE A TWO WEEK DEADLINE OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD GIVE YOU GUYS MAYBE TWO WEEKS TO COME BACK WITH RESPONSES AND WITHIN A MONTH WE COME BACK AND APPROVE HOPEFULLY APPROVE THE THING AT OUR NEXT MEETING.

KEVIN THE NEXT MEETING'S IS TWENTY SEVENTH SO WE'LL GET ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE.

SHE GIVES US FIVE WEEKS BUT IF THE CONTRACTOR IS GOING OFF OF ONE IS WHEN COULD THEY ACTUALLY MAKE WHEN'S THE LAST TIME THEY COULD MAKE CHANGES TO THE DOC?

>> I'VE THE TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THAT. >> OKAY.

YEAH WELL I GUESS ARBITRARILY IF WE WANT TO TAKE THE MAYOR SUGGESTION THAT WOULD TAKE US

TO THE 6TH FOR ANOTHER TWO WEEKS 6 OF MAY 6TH OF MAY. >> PARDON OR BACK.

YES THAT SOUNDS OKAY. OKAY LET'S WE'LL GO AHEAD AND SET THE 6TH OF MAY FOR COMMENTS

CONCERNING COMMENTS THAT HE WANTED TO ASK. >> WE HAVE A VIEW OF 6 THAT I GOT I GOT THROUGH ABOUT HALF OF IT. MOST OF DIDN'T GET THROUGH WAS

KIND OF A BROAD QUESTION. >> IT WAS IT WAS FOCUSED ON THE PARRIS ISLAND AND MARINE CORPS AIR STATION THAT WAS JUST CURIOUS OF WHY THE NAVAL HOSPITAL WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE STUDY. I HONESTLY THAT DOES BACK WHEN THEY STARTED THE GRANT.

THAT WAS JUST HOW IT WAS WORKED OUT. I KIND OF INHERITED AT THAT POINT. I THINK THEY WERE JUST FOCUSED ON MILITARY MISSION AND THE TWO INSTALLATIONS THAT WERE ACTIVE BASES. PAGE PAGE 14 THE BOTTOM RIGHT PARAGRAPH THE SECOND TO LAST AND SAYS COUNTY CURRENTLY RECEIVES THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF VISITOR SPENDING AND HAS THE LARGEST NUMBER OF TOURISM GENERATED JOBS IN THE STATE.

AND SO I CHALLENGED THAT DATA POINT OF NOT UNDERSTANDING THE ACTUAL NUMBERS CHARLESTON COUNTY OR COUNTY BUT WHAT LITTLE I KNOW ABOUT THE ECONOMIC DIFFERENCES IN OUR COUNTIES, I WOULD THINK THAT CHARLESTON OR HORRY WOULD BE OKAY.

>> YEAH. OUR CONGRESS RAISED MORE SUBSTANTIALLY AND A LOT.

OKAY. YEAH. SO JUST KIND OF ACCURACY.

NOT A BIG DEAL BUT I DID WANT TO POINT OUT I THINK CHARLESTON IS GONNA HAVE SOMEWHERE AROUND FIVE OR SIX MILLION VISITORS THIS YEAR COMPARED TO HILTON HEAD.

I'LL HAVE TO POINT FOUR TWO POINT SIX. I THINK WE'RE AT ABOUT HALF A MILLION. SO WE'RE STILL PROBABLY A LITTLE LESS THAN HALF OF WHAT THE CHARLESTON READ AND WE'LL SEE PAGE 16 THE BOTTOM LEFT PARAGRAPH AGAIN, YOU KNOW, REALLY SORT OF MINIMAL BUT IT'S A CITY PIPES UNDER COUNTY ROADS DELIVER ELECTRICITY, GAS, WATER, SEWER AND BROADBAND. AND FROM AN OWNERSHIP STANDPOINT, THE MAJORITY OF ROADS AND NORTHERN BEAUFORT COUNTY WITH THE EXCEPTION ARE OUR NEIGHBORS AND PORT ROYAL AND OUR STATE OWNED STATE ROADS AND MOST OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT ARE UNDER THE ROADS ARE NOT OWNED BY THE CITY BUT OWNED BY THE RESPECTIVE UTILITIES. SO AGAIN KIND OF A POINT

OF ACCURACY ON PAGE 20. >> THERE IS A REALLY COOL CHART ABOUT THREAT RANKING THAT SHOWS

[00:10:07]

I HAVE SOME OF MY COMMENTS WHICH LOOKS CHART THAT ONE FROM BUT I DON'T HAVE THE RECORD

OPEN. >> IT'S PAGE 20 AND IT'S THE THREAT RANKING CHART.

>> AND SO TORNADO HURRICANE WINDS STORM LIGHTNING, HAIL, DROUGHT, EARTHQUAKES AND SORT OF RANKS THEM. AND IT SAYS IT WAS PULLED. YEAH, THE GRAPHS FROM THE 20 20 LOWCOUNTRY NATURAL HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN. SO MAYBE WE JUST DIDN'T MOVE THE KEEL. YEAH BUT I THINK IT'S YOU KNOW ,YOU TAKE THINGS AND I CAN JUST GIVE YOU MY NOTES HERE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A RISK IF YOU CAN READ MY CHICKEN SHOULD'VE BEEN A DOCTOR WITHOUT HANDWRITING. JUST IT I'VE HAD HALF A POT OF COFFEE THIS MORNING. YES. I APOLOGIZE.

AND THEN JUST A COMPLIMENT ON PAGE 40. >> I REALLY LIKE THE WAY THE

SLOW HERE. >> I REALLY LIKE THE WAY THE ELEVATION ANALYSIS THE CHANGE IN LAND AREA AT RISK SHOWS YOU KNOW, STORM SURGE, SHALLOW COASTAL FLOODING, ALLUVIAL

FLOODING. >> BASED ON THE ELEVATIONS AND THEN THE PERCENTAGE OF LAND AREA AT RISK OF SO THAT REALLY COOL WAY TO LAY OUT THAT THOSE DATA POINTS IN OVERALL I MEAN TED DALLAS'S POINT IT'S A VERY COMPREHENSIVE LOTS OF REALLY GREAT INFORMATION THAT I THINK SORT OF SETS THE STAGE IN THE BEGINNING OF THE OF THE STUDY FOR WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DEAL

WITH. >> AND THEN SOME VERY PRAGMATIC RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO START MAKING OURSELVES A LITTLE MORE RESILIENT.

YEAH. SO JUST WANT TO SAY WELL, WELL DONE.

THANK YOU. I MAY HAVE MORE LOOKS. WE GOT THROUGH A LITTLE OVER HALF OF IT. BUT OUT OF 50 PAGES TO HAVE FOR COMMENTS I THOUGHT THAT WAS TOO BAD. THAT'S NOT TOO BAD. DEAL ONLY WITH A ROUND OF GOLF

WITH A LADY DOWN PLAN. >> OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD JAROD SAY I SPENT A FEW HOURS GOING THROUGH IT BUT IT'S IT IS EXTREMELY DETAILED AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT THING TO

HAVE AS A BASIS FOR MOVING FORWARD WITH PROJECTS. >> I THINK MAYBE THERE'LL PROBABLY BE SOME MORE COMMENTS LATER ON THE LAST SECTION FOR COST IMPLEMENT IMPLEMENTATIONS BUT ANY OTHER COMMENTS, ANY COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC OR ANYBODY ELSE ONLINE SEEING

NONE? >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, STEPHANIE.

WELL, I HAD ONE OTHER QUESTION. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A HARD COPY OF THIS REPORT?

>> I CAN PRINT IT OUT. WE DON'T HAVE A SO WHEN WE'RE DONE.

>> THIS IS ACTUALLY INTENDED TO BE MORE OF THAT LIKE TO SPREAD LAYOUT.

SO WE HAVE MODIFIED IT SO IT WAS A LITTLE EASIER PRINT FOR FOLKS TO REVIEW.

BUT I CAN GIVE YOU THE VERSION THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. I DON'T HAVE THE TO SPREAD LAYOUT YET. OK. THANK YOU.

THAT'S I'M JUST KIND OF OLD SCHOOL. YEAH.

NOW I READ YOUR PAPER. >> OK. WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, STEPHANIE. APPRECIATE. WE JUST HAD SOMEONE JOIN ONLINE. THAT'S WHAT I THINK IS JUST WHAT WAS HIS NAME?

IPHONE 4 3. YEAH, YEAH. >> WOULD YOU PLEASE IDENTIFY

YOURSELF? >> YOU MEAN IT? I CAN'T SEE THE REST OF THE NUMBER ONE THING I REMEMBER SOMEONE EXISTS SAID TO FILE FOR 6 7 3 THINK IT'S NOT I MAY NOT

KNOW ONE OF MY CONTACT. >> OK THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE PRIORITIZATION

[8. PRIORITIZED LIST OF ACTION ITEMS 2022]

[00:15:11]

LIST. >> I GUESS I JUST ASK SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT WE DISCUSSED AT THE LAST MEETING. WE DID ELIMINATE A FEW THINGS FROM THE LIST. I WOULD JUST SAY AS IF ANYBODY HAS ANY COMMENTS OR ITEMS THEY WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP ON THE ACTION ITEM LIST TO GO AHEAD AND DO SO.

HEARING NONE THE I THINK I THINK I'LL ASK THAT THE NEXT TIME THE LIST COMES OUT THAT THE ITEMS THAT WE HAVE DELETED ON THIS GO AHEAD AND JUST COME OFF THAT WILL LEAVE US WITH A HANDFUL MAYBE TWO HANDFULS LEFT ON HERE. I WOULD ASK THOUGH THAT WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON IF THERE'S SOME OTHER ITEMS THAT WE BRING THEM UP AT THE NEXT MEETING AND PUT THOSE ON THE ACTION ITEM LIST, THIS IS THE BODY I THINK THAT THAT IS THE ONE THAT CAN HELP DISCUSS AND COORDINATE BETWEEN ALL THE JURISDICTIONS LIKE DEPARTMENT OF TURN.

>> OH, I'M SORRY. I'M ALICE HOWARD. NUMBER NINE ON THE LIST ABOUT THE PLASTIC BAG RECYCLING ISSUES. WE DID HAVE AN INTERNAL MEETING IN THE COASTAL CONSERVATION. WE CAME TO THAT MEETING I THINK WITHIN THE COUNTY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT RATHER THAN PUBLIC WORKS IS GOING TO TAKE THE LEAD WHEN THE TIME COMES.

BECAUSE WE'LL GET TO THE NATURAL RESOURCE COMMITTEE TO CHANGE THE ORDINANCE AND TWEAK IT SO THAT WE DON'T NEED TO CHANGE THE VERBIAGE BUT JUST INTERNALLY THE COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE THE LEAD RATHER THAN PUBLIC WORKS ON THAT UPDATE TO THE ORDINANCE AND THEN WE'LL WE'LL GO TO THE DISPARITIES WITH AND AND SEE IF THEY'RE AGREEABLE TO CHANGING THE ORDINANCE, MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT AND THEN YOU'LL COME BACK TO THIS BOARD TO HAVE THAT

DISCUSSION. >> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

FOR WE TAKE IT TO NATURAL RESOURCES. WE'LL DO ANY OTHER DISCUSSION.

WELL, MIKE, INSTEAD OF JUST REMOVING THEM, CAN WE JUST MAKE A NEW TAB COMPLETED ITEMS IN CASE WE HAVE ONE TO GO BACK AND SEE THE NOTICE OR ANYTHING ABOUT? SURE. DONE. JUST SO THAT WE HAVE ONE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON, ONE THAT WAS COMPLETED. SURE.

JUST GET IT OFF THAT THAT WAY WE CAN GO BACK, PLEASE. OK.

IT MAKES IT MAKES IT EASIER THAN GOING BACK TO MINUTES. A LOT OF TIMES THE FIND WHAT WE

DID ON SOMETHING. >> OK. GOOD.

THAT'S A GOOD POINT. THE CITY'S PLANNING DIRECTOR IS NO LONGER WITH ME.

ARE YOU MEETING WITH THE RIO RICO OR THE GROUP AT CITY AT ALL THE ONES THAT ARE TAKING DAVE'S PLACE FOR ME AND HE HAVE A WE HAD SOME INITIAL CONVERSATIONS WITH PARTNERS.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT A LOT TO COORDINATE WITH THE CITY IN TERMS OF GREEN WHAT TYPE OF CONSULTANT WE'D LIKE TO BRING FORWARD TO OVERSEE THIS SURAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE LADY'S ISLAND WITH THE CENTER MASTER JUST NO JUST GENERAL FUTURE LAND LAND USE PLANS AND NUMBER 14 WITH DAVE'S YOU KNOW WITH THE SINCE DAVE WAS NO LONGER THERE YOU SHOULD BE FOCUSING PROBABLY TOWARDS RICO FOR CONTACT RIGHT NOW UNTIL WE HAVE THE NEW PLANNING DIRECTOR

IN PLACE GENERAL. >> LAST WEEK WAS UNTIL NEW DIRECTORS THE BOARD CHOPPED OFF

SOME OF THE HEAVY LIFTING. GOT IT. >> OKAY.

NOW THAT WAS JUST LOOKING AT FUTURE LAND USE BASED ON LADY'S ISLAND AND IN LARGE PART LADIES

HIGH ISLAND AND HOUSE TOWARDS ST. HELENA. >> ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS?

>> I THINK THE THE COMMENTS THAT STILL HAVE DAVE IS MORE HISTORICAL IN NATURE AND WE'RE ADDING IN BOLD PRINT. THE MORE CURRENT. SO I GUESS WE'D STILL LEAVE

THOSE INTACT IN THE OTHER COMMENTS SEEING NONE. >> I'LL GO TO A ROUNDTABLE

[9. ROUND THE TABLE COMMENTS]

[00:20:08]

MY RESPONSE WHEN I TURN IT OFF TUESDAY NIGHT AT FIVE THIRTY AT THE UNIVERSITY PERFORMING ARTS CENTER THE CITY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE AND UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA BEAUFORT CENTER FOR THE ARTS ARE BRINGING VICTOR DOVER FROM DOVER COLLIN

PARTNERS TO TOWN. >> HE'S GOING TO DO A ABOUT A 30 40 MINUTE PRESENTATION AND THEN ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM FOLKS THAT ARE IN-PERSON AND IN THE THEATER.

IT WILL ALSO BE LIVE STREAMED ON THE CITY BEAUFORT FACEBOOK PAGE.

BUT VICTOR IS GOING TO KIND OF DO AN OVERVIEW ABOUT LAND USE AND BEAUFORT BEAUFORT COUNTY OVER THE NEXT DECADE. SO BE A REALLY GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO BRING SOMEONE WHO'S WELL RESD PLANNERS IN THE COUNTRY TO COME IN AND HOPEFULLY ASK SOME QUESTIONS.

BEAUFORT CITY COUNCIL'S WORK SESSION WILL BE THE FOLLOWING DAY.

SO WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY WE APPRECIATE THE COUNTY WE'RE HOSTING IT OUT OF ST. HELENA LIBRARY. SO APPRECIATE THE SPACE. KICKING OFF AT 9 A.M. BOTH DAYS THE FIRST DAY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE CITY'S STRATEGIC PLAN AND OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN. SCRUB THOSE DOCUMENTS PRETTY QUICKLY AND THEN THE REMAINING DAY AND A HALF WE'RE GONNA GO INTO CODE AND I GUESS HE'S CALLING CODE DEBUGGING.

SO IN OUR VIEW FOR DEVELOPMENT CODE THAT WE PASSED BACK IN 2018, WE'VE BEEN KEEPING KIND OF A LIST OF CODE ISSUES AND SO MR. TOMMY IS CHAIRMAN OF THE NPC.

HE PUT IN SOME FEEDBACK. WE ASK ALL OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS.

WE ASK OUR STAFF MEMBERS. WE ASK THE CHAIRS OF OUR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO PUT IN CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE. SO WE'VE COMPILED THAT LIST THAT'S BEEN SENT OVER THE CONSULTANTS AND SO LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING SOME HEADWAY NEXT WEEK ON OUTSTANDING CODE ISSUES . BUT TALKING ABOUT DISMANTLING THE LAND USE IN GENERAL, WHAT DAY IS THE CITY WORKSHOP AT 9 A.M. ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY JUNE 20TH AND 20?

>> YEAH. AND THEN THE I'VE SIGNED UP FOR THE USCCB.

IT'S THE ART CENTER PART OF IT. YES, MA'AM. THAT'S TUESDAY NIGHT.

THAT'S TWO SETS THURSDAY NIGHT. OKAY. AND WE APPRECIATE FOLKS REGISTERING. SO COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE HAS YOUR VOTE TO MAIL YOU STUFF IN THE FUTURE. BUT IT'S NOT REQUIRED. YOU DON'T WANT TO AND IT ALSO LET ME LIVE YOU LIVE STREAMED OTHER THING I WANT TO ASK YOU A QUESTION ON THAT.

OH YEAH. WHAT KIND OF RESEARCH IS DOVER CALLED DONE TO DATE FOR EITHER THE CITY OR THE COUNTY? SO DO OVERS IS RECENT OVER GOT A LONG HISTORY WITH WITH COUNTY AND THE CITY OF DOVER AND YES, DOVER HELPED WITH I THINK COUNTY IS ONE OF THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PLANTS FROM 1985 1997 AND ANY OF YOU IF I'M WRONG PLEASE STEP UP.

HE INSTRUMENTAL COUNTY'S CONFERENCE A PLANT FOR 95 97. HIS FIRM WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BOUNDARY STREET REDEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT WAS SORT OF MODEL WE MODELED THE ISLAND RFP. AFTER HE'S DONE THREE OR FOUR OTHER THINGS HERE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. HE WAS LAST YEAR IN 2017. HE'S DONE A BUNCH OF WORK OVER IN HILTON HEAD BUNCH WORK UP IN CHARLESTON. SO HE'S HE'S VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA. HE WAS RECENTLY DOING A PROJECT IN HILTON HEAD SO HIS ASSOCIATES DROVE THROUGH THE AREA WITHIN THE LAST SIX MONTHS OR SO AND HE'S BEEN FORWARD AT ALL OF OUR CODE AND ALL OF THE OUTSTANDING CODE ISSUES AND HIM AND HIS ASSOCIATES ARE GOING THROUGH THAT TO BE UP TO SPEED WHEN THEY COME IN NEXT WEEK. THANK YOU.

SECOND THING IS THAT BEAUFORT DIGITAL CORRIDOR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA BEAUFORT ARE HOSTING A TECHSTARS STARTUP WEEKEND THAT'LL BEGIN NEXT FRIDAY EVENING AT THE OLD BOYS GIRLS CLUB THE FUTURE HOME OF THE SOUTH COAST CYBER CENTER AND APPRECIATE THE COUNTY'S COMMITMENT AND FUNDING FOR THAT TO HELP ACQUIRE THAT FACILITY.

>> BUT FIFTY FOUR HOURS SO FRIDAY TO SUNDAY EVENING IF YOU HAVE OR HAVE AN INTEREST IN TECH STARTUPS OR TECH ENTREPRENEURSHIP IT'S LIKE TWENTY FIVE BUCKS TO SIGN UP.

RIGHT NOW WE'RE ONE AND A HALF NOT QUITE HALF PRICE BUT 15 DOLLAR SPECIAL GET A T-SHIRT WILL FEED YOU ALL WEEKEND BUT YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP. YOU CAN GET WITH A TEAM AND YOU BASICALLY CREATE STARTUP OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND AND THEN AT THE END ON SUNDAY THERE'LL BE A PITCH CONTEST AND WE HAVE SOME REALLY COOL JUDGES WHO ARE GOING TO SELECT THE WINNERS AND GIVE THEM SOME COOL PRIZES. THERE'S ALSO A OPPORTUNITY FOR

FOLKS TO COME AND OBSERVE. >> THAT'S TEN DOLLARS TO OBSERVE THE EVENT AT ANY TIME THROUGHOUT THE WEEKEND AND YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION FOR DIGITAL DOT COM.

[00:25:04]

RIGHT? YESTERDAY EVENING AT 5 O'CLOCK THIS IS KIND OF A COUNTY THING I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE. THE TOWN COUNCIL FROM HILTON HEAD MET WITH MEMBERS OF COUNTY COUNCIL LIVE WE'RE HERE AND SOME WERE ONLINE REGARDING THE BRIDGE TO HILTON HEAD IN THE PROJECT. I'M NOT SURE THERE WAS A TOTAL RESOLUTION BUT IT WAS A GOOD DISCUSSION. WE HAD MET A FEW WEEKS BEFORE AT THE HILTON HIS TOWN COUNCIL MEETING TO SO THOSE DISCUSSIONS KEEP KEEP GOING. OF COURSE THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS TIME AND MONEY. AND RIGHT NOW IT'S STILL AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT.

BUT IF THINGS ARE CHANGED DRASTICALLY KICK IT INTO AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT AND ALL THE THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT. SO 26 POINTS THAT THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ONE DONE. I THINK MOST OF THE COUNTY AND DOJ TEAM CAN WORK THROUGH IT.

BUT THE BIGGEST ONE IS THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE ON TOWN COUNCIL AND PEOPLE ON HILTON HEAD WHO WANT TWO BRIDGES INSTEAD OF ONE BRIDGE WHICH WOULD REALLY COST A LOT OF MONEY AND WOULD PROBABLY KICK IT INTO THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT.

INSTEAD OF GETTING THE FONZIE FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENTS .

THE OTHER THING IS I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT THE TWO MAYORS FOR PARTICIPATING THIS WEEK IN A DISCUSSION REGARDING IMPACT FEES. I HAVE FAITH THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK IT OUT. IN MONDAY WE WILL EITHER TAKE IT UP AGAIN OR OR NOT COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING AND I THINK BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND HAVING AN OPEN DISCUSSION IN THIS VERY ROOM WAS VERY WORTHWHILE AND GOING TO KEEP ON DOING THAT TILL WE GET IT.

ALL THE ISSUES RESOLVED. REGARDING IMPACT FEES OF COURSE COUNTY HILTON HEAD WAS REPRESENTED IN IN BLUFFTON TO THAT'S ALL I HAVE. GOOD.

I'LL HAVE THE CHAPEL ROYAL IS LOOKING AT RIBAUT ROAD. ALICE IS ONE OF THE MEMBERS ON THE COMMITTEE. THANK HER FOR THEM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THREE OR THREE ASSOCIATES WHO ARE REALLY LOOKING AT RAINBOW ROAD FROM WHAT WE CALL BRIDGE TO BURGER KING. SO THAT'S THE BOUNDARIES OF THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL AND RIBAUT ROAD. AND I THINK WHEN THE FINAL DOCUMENT COMES OUT I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE THAT THIS GROUP SEES THAT. SO WE'LL PLAN ON DOING A LITTLE PRESENTATION TO THE GROUP AND LET YOU SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS TAKING A NUMBER OF OUR PLANS THAT WE'VE ALREADY HAD RIBAUT TRAFFIC ENDS AND NOW LOOKING AT THE ECONOMIC DRIVERS OF WHAT COULD BE USED TO CHANGE THE ECONOMIC NATURE AND LANDSCAPE OF THAT ROAD IN THAT AREAS AND WHAT'S OUT THERE. SO WE'LL BRING THAT FORWARD ONCE WE GET THAT FINAL DOCUMENT I THINK WHERE PROBABLY OUTSPEND YOU 30 DAYS WITH PROBABLY 30 DAYS AWAY. SO I'LL LET YOU KNOW IF MIX IN TIME FOR THE MAY MEETING.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I HAD HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS WITH RIO THREE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I THINK EARLIER STUDIES HAD SOME BUS STOP AREAS IDENTIFIED.

HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE DOING THAT AGAIN. >> YEAH.

PART OF THE LOW COUNTRY TRANSIT PLAN IS ON THERE. WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME AREAS AND WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE HOW WE CAN INCORPORATE THEM EITHER ON RIBAUT ROAD OR OFF ON THE AVENUE. YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. THANK YOU.

AND THE PLAN FOR THAT DOVETAILS WITH OUR FUTURE PLAN. GOING DOWN THE OTHER SIDE I MEAN THE INTENT THERE IS THAT WHAT YOU DESIRE? WHAT YOU DESIGN MOVING FROM BURGER KING OUT WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP CLOSE TO WHAT WE WANT TO GO THE OTHER WAY.

BUT OBVIOUSLY THAT'S DOWN THE ROAD FOR US. YEAH, I MEAN WE WERE WE WEREN'T REALLY INCLUDED IN THE PROCESS BUT I THINK THE IDEA IS THAT SOMEHOW THERE WOULD BE SOME COMPREHENSIVE DOESN'T THAT LOOK AND FEEL DIFFERENT ONCE YOU EAT WHAT YOU.

RIGHT. ALL ALONG. YEAH, EXACTLY.

WE WORKED WITH JARED VERY CLOSELY ON THAT BECAUSE HE'S REALLY TAKING THE LEAD ON THAT WHOLE RIBAUT ROAD ON DO WE DO THE WHOLE THING AT ONE TIME AND BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT KIND OF THE OFF ROAD THE PROPERTY'S MORE THAN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE ROAD.

WE FELT LIKE IT WAS NECESSARY. SO WHAT IS IT THAT WE WANT BUILT IN THE AREA? HOW DO WE WANT TO BUILD AND THEN BRING THAT INTO. OKAY.

NOW WHAT IS THE ROAD LOOK LIKE? WE HAVE SOME TRAFFIC STUDIES. WE HAVE A TRAFFIC STUDY IN PLACE TO ALL STUDY THAT TALKED ABOUT INTERSECTION SAFETY AND THEY'RE BEING CONSIDERED IN THE WAY WE'RE LOOKING AT THE OFF PROPERTY OF REDEVELOPMENT. SO THAT WAY THEN WE CAN THEN TAKE A LOOK AT THE TRAFFIC SIDE OF IT BECAUSE WE FELT LIKE WE HAD TO KNOW WHAT WE WERE GOING TO BUILD TO SAY HOW WE MOVE THE CARS THROUGH THERE IN THAT ASPECT.

[00:30:02]

SO THAT'S WHY WE KIND OF DREW THAT LINE RIGHT WHERE IT IS. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK TOGETHER AND SAY OKAY NOW LET'S TAKE ALL THIS WITH THE NEW NUMBERS IF THIS GETS BUILT AND SAY HOW DO WE DESIGN A ROAD TO MEET THE LONG TERM NEEDS ALL THE WAY THROUGH?

>> THANK YOU. ONE. ONE FINAL JUST BLOW IT OFF THE TABLE. I KNOW YOU KNOW I KNOW THE GENESIS OF THIS COMMITTEE IN TERMS OF THE NORTHERN REGIONAL IMPLEMENTATION COMMITTEE AND THE REAL GOAL WAS FOR THIS COMMITTEE TO BE THE REGIONAL BODY TO EXECUTE THE NORTHERN REGIONAL PLAN AND TO SORT

OF MONITOR THAT THAT ACCURATE. >> AND I DEFINITELY SEE THE VALUE IN US GETTING TOGETHER TO TALK BECAUSE IT'S REALLY THE ONLY FORMAL CONDUIT THAT WE HAVE TO TALK AS A REGION NORTHERN REGION ALTHOUGH I THINK WE'VE TRIED TO HAVE GOOD LINES OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ALL THE DIFFERENT SORT OF INFORMAL COMMUNICATIONS BUT I'VE BEEN ALSO ATTENDING WHEN I CAN. THE SOUTHERN LOCAL SO LOCO SOUTHERN LOW COUNTRY MEETINGS AND THERE'S I THINK ALICE YOU ATTENDED A NUMBER OF THOSE BUT THERE'S A NUMBER OF SORT OF MUTUAL INTEREST AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS ONE. SO THERE'S A LOT OF CONVERSATION THE CONSULTANT STUDY SORT OF CAME OUT OF LOCO REGIONAL STORMWATER CAME OUT OF LOCO. AND I HAVEN'T TALKED TO ANY OF THE SO LOCAL FOLKS ABOUT THIS. SO JUST AS A SPITBALL, WOULD IT MAKE SENSE FOR US TO EXPLORE THE OPTIONS OF COMBINING OF THE NORTHERN REGIONAL PLAN AND THE SO LOCAL MEETING BECAUSE AT THIS POINT WE DON'T HAVE WE DON'T HAVE A MIC AND A FORMAL MECHANISM FOR REGIONAL CONVERSATIONS WITH MUNICIPALITIES WITH THE COUNTY ,WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, PARTICULARLY WITH THE UTILITIES, ALL THE FOLKS THAT NEED TO BE AROUND THE TABLE ON A REGULAR BASIS AS WE AS WE WORK AS A REGION. SO I SEE THERE'S A SORT OF DISPARATE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO GROUPS AND IF WE'RE WAS MORE COLLABORATIVE, WOULD THAT BE. WOULD THAT BE MORE MEANINGFUL? AND I KNOW I JUST THROW IT OUT THERE FOR DISCUSSION. WE'VE TALKED A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS ACTUALLY ON SOME LOGO IN.

I'VE BROUGHT THAT UP AND I THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. THEY DON'T HAVE THE POWER THIS GROUP DOES CHARTER AND I DON'T MEAN THAT IN A NEGATIVE WAY. THEY HAVE BUT THEY'VE DONE SOME GREAT THINGS. THEY I THINK WE SHOULD GET TOGETHER IF WE CAN.

BUT THIS GROUP HAS AN I SAY THE WORD POWER BUT WE HAVE MORE JURISDICTIONAL.

>> HOW WOULD YOU AND THEN WHAT WHAT SPECIFIC WAYS DO WE HAVE? THEY CAN ONLY MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEY DON'T MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS BUT THEY INITIATE CAN INITIATE THINGS THEY HAVE NO. I'D HAVE TO GET ONE OF THEM TO EXPLAIN IT.

BUT GENERALLY I CAN LIKE A COMMISSION AND THEY ACT MORE LIKE AN JUST LIKE WE DO IS WE DON'T MEAN NONE OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BINDING EITHER.

RIGHT. WE HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO OUR RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS.

WELL, THE NORTHERN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NORTHERN REGION PLAN.

YES. YES DEFINITELY IT WAS WELL I MEAN YOU CASE A CASE POINT IS WE WE'D HAD A UNANIMOUS MOTION OUT OF HERE SEVERAL MONTHS GO ABOUT SUPPORTING A LADY'S ISLAND VILLAGE MASTER PLAN TO FORWARD IT ON TO OUR RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS TO SUPPORT THE RFP THAT THAT MIKE'S COMMITTEE PUT TOGETHER AND THAT WAS COMPLETELY DISREGARDED, COMPLETELY DISREGARDED AND WE WE UNDERSTOOD AND DID MOVE FORWARD OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE.

SO I ARGUE THAT WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A POWER. WE'RE JUST ADVISORY.

WE'RE JUST THAT REALLY IT'S A MECHANISM FOR US TO GET ON THE TABLE AND TALK AND DISAGREE.

BUT WITH THAT DAY THEY DON'T EVEN DO THAT. THE STUDY IN THE STORMWATER WAS BROUGHT UP BY THEM AND THEN IT WAS UP TO STAFF OF THE DIFFERENT LOCALITIES TO TO AGREE TO IT. RIGHT. AND THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD WORK.

I MEAN THAT'S HOW THIS BODY SHOULD WORK. WELL, THAT'S TRUE.

BUT I THINK WE COULD MEET TOGETHER BUT THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT MISSIONS, SO TO SPEAK. AND WE COULD WE COULD WORK ON THAT SO THAT THEY BECOME MORE ALIKE. YEAH. YEAH.

WE'VE HAD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE. AS MIKE INDICATED AND WE TALKED ABOUT TRYING TO GET THEM JUST TO COME TO OUR MEETINGS WE'VE NOT BEEN REAL SUCCESSFUL IN THAT. I'M WONDERING IF. BUT I THINK THAT THE COLLABORATIVE IDEA WITH SOLO CO IS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. AND I'M WONDERING IF MAYBE WE SET SOMETHING UP ON MAYBE A QUARTERLY BASIS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT THERE'S A SPECIAL MEETING CALL ITSELF IF THERE'S A JOINT JOINT MEETING BETWEEN THE TWO.

>> I THINK IT'S A GOOD WAY TO START THE PROCESS AND SEE IF WE CAN'T MERGE.

>> LET'S HAVE A JOINT MEETING. LET'S GET IT RIGHT TOGETHER. YOU'RE MAKING THAT CALL

[00:35:01]

I WONDER IF YOU NSO OR WESTERN WAS WRONG WITH WHICHEVER IT IS IT BE READ MY MAPS AND THERE NORTH OF THE SOUTHERN BAY AREA NORTH OF SOUTHERN THERE NORTH OF NORTHERN REEF.

>> WELL WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND TAKE THAT AS SOMETHING ON OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, MAYBE WE CAN FLOAT THAT SOLO GO AND SET UP A QUARTERLY MEETING.

THEY HAVE A MEETING NEXT WEEK AND I WAS PLANNING ON ATTENDING BECAUSE THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST AND SOME YOU KNOW, SINCE I DO IT ON TABLE, I'M HAPPY TO PITCH IT TO MAYOR WILLIAMS WHO'S THE CHAIR. SO LOOK, IF THE GROUPS OK WITH THAT I THINK IT'S ONE PROBLEM IT'S BEEN RUN UP OR NOT. WE HAVEN'T SUCH A THE OR AFFLUENT WE'RE MORE ALIGNED THAN WE WERE DEFINITELY MORE ALIGNED FROM THE STANDPOINT OF A FUNCTION AND POWER THAN WE USED TO BE. EXACTLY. SO WHAT DAY AND WHERE IS THIS

SO LOCAL MEETING? >> IT'S A CITY. STAY TUNED TO HARDY VILLE TOWN

HALL. >> IT'S THE 26 OF TUESDAY AT 10 A.M. HARDY VILLE TOWN HALL WHICH IS 2 0 5 MAIN STREET AND THEIR MEETINGS ARE ONLY AN HOUR LONG.

>> YEAH. HARRIS IS ON JOHN TIME WAS UP AGAIN SIX 10 A.M. A.M. ALREADY BUILT TOWN HALL IS GOING TO BE IN CONFLICT WITH NO ONE NO, NO, NO.

>> THREE OR FIVE MAIN STREET. OKAY. IT'S REALLY EASY IF SOMEONE WANTS TO RIDE WITH ME. OKAY. SOUNDS GREAT.

HOW? I'LL SEE IF I CAN ATTEND THAT AS WELL.

I MEAN OBVIOUSLY I'M JUST TRYING TO LIKE NOT HAVE MULTIPLE MEETINGS TO GET TO.

SO JUST LIKE HER TEAM ALL TOGETHER AND YOU ONLY HAVE ONE WHEN WE GET OURSELVES THESE THINGS AND THEN YOU KNOW WE ASK THE SYSTEM ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR COMMENTS.

HEARING NONE OF THE NAVY THE NAVAL HOSPITAL MEDICAL THAT WE ATTENDED JUST MIGHT ALSO MAYBE

GET A PUBLIC MEETING. >> THEY HAD I THINK MOST OF US ATTENDED THEM IN THE LITERARY CENTER THEN CARE CENTER AND THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH AT THE END OF THEIR I GUESS WITH REFERENCE TODAY TO THE POSITIONING THERE. IT'S LIKE A SIX YEAR ROTATION FROM THE STANDPOINT OF FUNDING AND DESIGN AND FUNDING AND CONSTRUCTION. BUT THEIR PLAN IS TO OBVIOUSLY PUT IT AT THEIR STATION ON BEHIND THE READINESS CENTER SO THAT IT WILL SERVE THE MILITARY FOR BASICALLY A SURGICAL OUTPATIENTS SURGICAL CENTER AND IT'S SO IT'S A NEW BURGEONING THING IN THE DHEA. FROM THE STANDPOINT HOW THEY'RE PROVIDING MILITARY FAMILIES WITH SERVICES AND IT'S A PRETTY COOL CONCEPT. SO THAT WAS A WELL A WELL PRESENTED PROGRAM WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND SORT OF GUIDE YOU ALONG THE WAY. SO IT WAS A GOOD GOOD AFTERNOON.

>> THE AIR FORCE HAS BEEN DOING THAT FOR YEARS. I WAS INVOLVED AS AN ARCHITECT ON NUMEROUS BASES ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT ARE DOING THE SAME THING.

I HAVE BEEN FOR A WHILE AND THE V.A. WAS THERE TOO AND THEY SAID THEY WERE LOOKING TO BUILD A LARGER FACILITY SALINITY LOCALLY IN BEAUFORT COUNTY BECAUSE THE POPULATION OF VETERANS IS INCREASE. NOW THE MOVEMENT FROM THE NORTH COUNTY.

AND I THINK SAID SEVENTY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET. I REMEMBER YES THEY WILL.

I GUESS THEIR PROTOTYPE THEM WHY WOULD THEY HAVE THE PROTOCOL AND THEY WERE THAT THEY HAVE LIKE TWO OR THREE OPTIONS FOR EXPANSION AND AND CONTRACT IF YOU DON'T NEED THAT MUCH. BUT THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS?

SAYING NONE. I'LL ASK FOR A MOTION. >> SECOND AND WE'RE ADJOURNED
