[5. AGENDA REVIEW]
REVIEW.IF YOU WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE COUNCIL MEETING OF THIS EVENING, YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS, UM, RATHER SHORT AT WHICH MEANS THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO GET OUT IN A TIMELY FASHION.
UM, UH, LET THE RECORD STATE THAT MR.
SO ALL 11 MEMBERS ARE THERE, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING ANY PORTION OF THE CONSENT AGENDA, MR. GLOVER? YOU SAID IT CONSENT WELL.
AND ANY PART OF THE AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 17, NUMBER 17.

I LIKE BOYS TO BE MOVED UP IF POSSIBLE.
UM, TO PROBABLY, UH, RIGHT AFTER THE NUMBER EIGHT AND THE WIDOW OF, UH, WE'LL BE HERE AND I WOULD HATE FOR HER TO STAY THERE TILL THEN.
UM, BUT IT IS AN ACTION ITEM, SO WE'LL HAVE TO MOVE IT AFTER NUMBER 10, NUMBER 10.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS? OKAY.
SEEING NONE THAT TAKES CARE OF THE AGENDA, UH, COUNSELING.
DID I HEAR SOMEONE SAY SOMETHING? UM, MR. MCKELLEN, MR. MIGUEL GOT A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH MY MUTE BUTTON.
WE SAY A PROCLAMATION THAT I'LL BE READING TONIGHT AS PART OF THE AGENDA.
I WOULD LIKE TO JUST ADD SOME INFORMATION THAT TOMORROW IT'S DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PROCLAMATION ON THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE TOMORROW IS TUESDAY, MAY 10TH HAS BEEN DESIGNATED A NATIONAL FENTANYL AND KIND OF IN SITUATION HERE IN THE STATE WHERE WE ARE OPERATING IN 22, ON AVERAGE IS 22 PEOPLE, A HUNDRED THOUSAND WHO ARE DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE.
AND WE HAVE A REPORT IN THE TOP 10 COUNTIES, FORTUNATELY FOR US, IF YOUR COUNTY IS NOT IN THE TOP 10, BUT SOME OF OUR NEIGHBORS ARE AT 68 OUT OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND.
AND IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THIS FENTANYL PROBLEM IS A BIG ONE STATEWIDE.
THAT IS ANOTHER REASON FOR US TO BE, UM, PROCLAIMING, UM, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE
[00:05:01]
WEEK, MAY 15TH, MAY 21ST BECAUSE OUR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE TECHNICIANS ON THE FIRST OF THE FIRST RESPONDERS, IF THIS MATTER AS IT RELATES TO MONGOLIA DOSES.SO I'D LIKE TO JUST TIE THOSE THINGS TOGETHER, ANYWHERE WITH NATIONAL FENTANYL AWARENESS DAY AND GRADUALLY THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS WERE THEIR ABILITY TO KEEP US OUT OF THE, OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THAT WE ARE IN DISCUSSION NOW? YES, WE ARE.
UH, JUST, JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS.
UM, PUBLIC FACILITIES, UM, WE WILL BE TAKING UP THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE, UH, TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE AND I THINK WE'RE TARGETING THAT FOR ABOUT FOUR O'CLOCK AND I THINK THAT'LL BE OF INTEREST TO A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY.
UM, SO WE'LL SEE WHERE THAT GOES.
UM, SECONDLY, YOU KNOW, SOME ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO WE HAD SOME DISCUSSIONS ABOUT, UH, PHYSICAL AUTONOMY FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD.
UM, AND, UH, THEY ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND, AND FAIRLY RECENTLY, UH, HAVE LOBBIED THE DELEGATION FOR FULL AUTONOMY.
YOU KNOW, THE DELEGATION KEEPS TELLING THEM THAT'S A NO GO.
SO AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW, WE WOULD DO THE, DO IT THIS YEAR, JUST THE WAY WE'VE ALWAYS DONE IT.
UM, AND I WOULD GUESS THERE MAY BE SOME DISCUSSIONS LATER ON WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD ABOUT WHETHER THEY WANT TO DO SOMETHING IN A LIMITED FASHION, BUT THAT WOULD NOT BE THE CASE.
AND LASTLY, ONE OF JUST A PERSONAL PIECE, UM, UM, I WAS HIGHLY CRITICIZED BY ONE OF OUR FORMER MEMBERS RELATIVE TO THE TRANSPORTATION STUFF.
SO I COPIED YOU ON THE RESPONSE ON THAT.
I DON'T THINK I WAS DOING ANYTHING WRONG, BUT IF I AM, I'M ALWAYS OPEN TO, UH, TO CRITICISM.
SO THAT WAS ALL I HAD MR. CHAIRMAN.
AND I'D SAY AS I COPIED EVERYBODY ON THAT.
MS. CHAIRMAN, I, UM, I'D LIKE FOR US TO TAKE A MOMENT, UM, AND I'M NOT SURE WHEN IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME NOW? OH, UH, AT A FUTURE MEETING, BUT, UH, WE, AS A CONSOLE AND OUR ADMINISTRATOR, WE NEED TO SIT DOWN AND TALK ABOUT THE TONIC YANCY AND THE ANNEXATION BLITZ THAT THEY'RE CURRENTLY, UM, UH, UH, DOING, UH, TRYING TO, UH, MOVE INTO BUFORD COUNTY, TAKEN UP AS MUCH PROPERTY AS THEY CAN.
UM, WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE THE LAST, UH, UH, ANNEXATION PIECE THAT IT DID WAS THE COTTON HALL PLANTATION AND THE, TO MODERATE PLANTATION.
AND, UH, ONE OF OUR NORTHERN REGION THEY'LL PLAN A MEETING.
UM, MIGHT'VE BEEN MULTIFOLD LAST, UM, MATT GONE TO A TOWN.
IS HE THE MANAGER? I THINK HE'S A COMM MANAGER.
UH, MATT GONE, UH, MADE THE STATEMENT THAT, UM, THE TOWN'S INTENTION IS TO ANNEX IS FOR S UH, HIGHWAY 17 AND GORDON'S CORNER.
UM, UM, I DON'T KNOW IF WE WANT TO OPEN THAT DISCUSSION HERE NOW, OR YOU WANT TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER MEETING AND US, UH, DO IT AT ANOTHER TIME, BUT, UH, I GOT SOME COMMENTS I WANT TO MAKE AND SEE IF BY CHANCE I CAN GET SOME SUPPORT FROM CONSOLE AS TO MY THOUGHTS ON IT.
I WOULD THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR US TO DISCUSS AT THE EXECUTIVE.
THE NEXT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING.
ARE, ARE YOU AMENABLE TO THAT? MR. SOMERVILLE? YOU'RE ON MUTE STILL.
YOU'RE STILL ON MUTE, PAUL, I THINK, UH, I UNDERSTOOD MR. GOSSMAN.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO TALK ABOUT GROWTH BOUNDARIES AND ANNEX STATION NEVER SEE IS ONE OF
I MEAN, I, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE DISTRACTION, THERE'S A WHOLE LOT THAT MARKER, BUT I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WE COULD DO ABOUT IT, BUT I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THAT'S A, THAT'S A BIG TOPIC.
UH, TODAY WE HAD A VERY SHORT BUT VERY PRODUCTIVE MEETING WITH A SAFE HARBOR AND THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL AND, UM, BUFORD COUNTY REGARDING THE SANDS.
AND, UM, THINGS ARE GOING FORWARD IN A VERY POSITIVE MANNER.
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS IT WILL STAY OPEN, UH, THE BOAT LANDING, NO MATTER WHAT.
OH, UNLESS THE ADMINISTRATOR HAS ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT.
AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO COUNSEL SO THAT YOU ALL KNOW, WE, WE DO NOT FROM A COUNTY ADMINISTRATION LEVEL, HAVE ANY PLANS ARE, HAVE GIVEN
[00:10:01]
ANY INSTRUCTIONS OR ANYTHING, UH, TO SHUT DOWN ANY BOAT LININGS.WE ARE GOING TO KEEP THOSE OPEN.
OF COURSE WE HAVE TO PUT DATES AND LETTERS, UH, SO THAT WE CAN, UH, INITIATE DISCUSSIONS.
AND, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE CONFIDENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH PORT ROYAL AND THE, UH, SAFE HARBOR FOLKS TO RESOLVE THAT ISSUE.
SO THE ARTICLE IN THE PAPER, UH, WAS A LITTLE BIT, UM, SENSATIONAL AND, UM, DID NOT CONVEY THE SITUATION ACCURATELY.
UM, W WHEN, WHEN LAND WAS HERE A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AND SPOKE TO US, HE, YOU KNOW, HE MADE THE POINT THAT IF WE ARE MAINTAINING SOMETHING OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, WE CAN, WE CAN CLAIM THAT WE CAN, IS OUR PLAN TO DO THAT FOR THIS PARTICULAR ONE, OUR PLAN.
AND SO WITH REGARD TO, AND THIS IS MORE OF A LEGAL QUESTION, BUT I'M GOING TO TAKE A SHOT AT IT IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH THE RIGHT TO A PRESCRIPTIVE EASEMENT.
WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID COURT, AND WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH ALL OF THE INDIVIDUALS WHO HOLD THESE OWNERSHIP THINGS TO GET EITHER MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS OR GET THE PROPERTY IN THE COUNTY NAME SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.
BUT I WANTED YOU ALL TO BE CLEAR THAT IT IS NOT MY DIRECTION TO STAFF OR MY INTENTION.
AND I DO NOT AGREE WITH THE TALK THAT WE'RE GOING TO SHUT DOWN BOAT LANDINGS, AND WE'RE GOING TO STOP DOING MAINTENANCE ON BOAT LANE NEWS, OR THAT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE BOAT LANDINGS AWAY.
WE'RE NOT PLANNING TO DO THAT.
THANK YEAH, MR. GREENWAY, UM, LET ME MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND, CLEARLY THERE ARE SOME LEGAL OWNERSHIP QUESTIONS ABOUT BOAT LANDINGS AND, UH, AS FAR AS MAINTENANCE OF THOSE BOAT LANDINGS, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL, I THINK THERE WERE FIVE THAT HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT LEGALITY.
WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THOSE BOAT LANDINGS.
I KNOW THE SANDS IS A VERY POPULAR ONE, BUT THERE ARE SOME, ALL THE BOOK MAN, THINGS OUT IN THE AREA THAT NEED SOME WORK ON AS WELL, BUT THEY ARE NOT OWNED BY THE QUOTE UNQUOTE, THE COUNTY LEGALLY.
AND I'VE, I'VE RECENTLY INSTRUCTED STAFF THAT WE ARE GOING TO REPAIR ANY BOAT LANDOWNERS THAT HAVE DAMAGE, THAT WE'RE GOING TO MAINTAIN BOAT LANDINGS, THAT WE ARE, HAVE HISTORICALLY MAINTAINED.
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THOSE THINGS AND KEEP THOSE LANDINGS OPEN AND OPERABLE AND DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE THEM USABLE IN THE MEANTIME.
AND IF THERE'S A FUNDING SHORTFALL ON IT, THEY NEED TO LET ME KNOW SO THAT I CAN FIND THE MONEY TO GIVE TO THEM SO WE CAN PUT THOSE BACK, RIGHT.
UM, THAT, THAT DIRECTION TO STOP DOING RE REPAIR WORK, THE BOAT LANDINGS DID NOT COME FROM ADMINISTRATION THAT CAME FROM, UM, SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF ADMINISTRATION.
DON'T WANT TO MAKE A BIG ISSUE OUT OF THAT, BUT I HAVE NOW CORRECTED THAT DIRECTION.
AND THEN JUST ALSO ADD TO THAT IS THAT, UM, WHEN WE DID WHITE HOLE WALKMAN MANNING, IT ALMOST BECAME THE STANDARD.
AND WE HAVE, WE'RE WORKING ON A PLAN WITH, UH, WITH, UH, MR. WILLIAMS TO, UM, TO MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR BOAT LANDINGS ARE UP TO THAT STANDARD OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
ANYONE ELSE? GOOD LIVELY DISCUSSION.
MR. SUMMERVILLE, NOW THAT I'M OFF MUTE, UM, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE, UM, WELL, WE ALREADY HAVE MADE SOME PRETTY SERIOUS DECISIONS ON IMPACT THAT HE IS.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE ANOTHER PRETTY FURIOUS ONE IN THE COURSE OF MEETING IN JUNE.
SO I THINK THE MORE WE TALK ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC THE BETTER, UM, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE MORE COMMENTS.
IF I MAY I, WITH RESPECT TO THE STOLEN TAXI.
I UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND THE REASONS WHY A VAST MAJORITY OF COUNCIL MEMBERS VOTED TERMINATED.
AND, UH, BUT I HOPE I KNOW THE STATUTE WE HAD TO CREATE THE IMPACT.
EITHER THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOESN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY.
SO WE DID IT ON THEIR BEHALF AND IT BECAME ESSENTIALLY ARE IMPACTED.
IT JUST BECAME A QUESTION OF HOW IT GETS COLLECTED.
THAT'S WHEN WE BOUGHT, NONE OF THE WAYS WAS BOGGED DOWN.
UH, I'M HOPING AT SOME POINT SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER, WE CAN RESURRECT.
BUT WHEN WE DO, IF WE DO, OBVIOUSLY I DON'T WANT IT TO BECOME A BURDEN THROUGH THE ADMINISTRATOR.
I ATTENDED SOME OF THE MEETINGS IN BLUFFTON, IN SO MANY OTHER PLACES, AND I KNOW THE ADMINISTRATOR CARRIED A LARGE SHARE OF THE LOAD AND I APPLAUD HIM FOR THAT.
AND WE WORKED VERY HARD AND, UH, BUT I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE HIS RESPONSIBILITY IF IT COMES UP AGAIN.
SO HOPEFULLY, UM, I THINK THE SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO PURSUE IT.
[00:15:01]
AND, UH, UH, IT MAKES SENSE BECAUSE IF, IF WE DON'T HAVE A SCHOOL IMPACT FLEET, THAT MEANS THAT IT HAS TO GO ON THEIR REFERENDUM AND IT HAS TO BE BORROWED INSTEAD OF THE END, THE COST GETS SOCIALIZED IN A DOLLAR, BECOMES $2 OVER THE LIFE OF THE, OF THE LIFE OF THE, OF THE AMORTIZATION FOR BONDS, UH, AND THE, UH, NOTICE, CREATE THE IMPACTS, BUT THEN THE OFF PRETTY CHEAP, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT INITIAL SURVEY IMPACT.SO THERE, THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS WHY I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA TO HOUSE FOR BACK PAIN.
AND AT ONE TIME THE GIARDIA COUNCIL AGREED WITH THAT.
A LOT OF THINGS HAD HAPPENED TO THE SANDWICH.
I'M JUST HOPING THAT, UH, WE'LL, THE COUNCIL WILL KEEP AN OPEN MIND TO THE POSSIBILITY OF RESURRECTING AT SOME POINT SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER, WITH RESPECT TO THE OTHER IMPACT STAGE NON WILL IMPACT.
PLEASE THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON THERE.
I MEAN, THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WERE VERY TRAVELLING TO ME, THE WAY THEY'RE BEING ADMINISTERED.
I THINK THERE'S SOME THINGS SPECIFICALLY THE, UH, QUOTE UNQUOTE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE.
I THINK THAT THINKS THAT THERE'S A REAL QUESTION OF THE LEGALITY OF THAT.
UH, THERE'S A REAL QUESTION OF THE LEGALITY OF THE WAY YOU DON'T HAVE RETAINS THEIR THEY'RE ARCHING RECREATION.
UH, I'M NOT SURE WHAT ELSE THEY RETAIN, BUT I'M NOT SURE.
I THINK THAT RAISES SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LEGALITY OF THAT.
SO WHATEVER HAPPENS, UH, THERE'S A LOT OF CLEANING UP.
IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE DONE IF WE CONTINUE THAT LEVEL.
I, BECAUSE AGAIN, WHEN YOU DON'T, YOU'RE SOCIALIZING YOUR COSTS, THAT IN MY VIEW SHOULD AT LEAST BE PARTIALLY PAID BY THE FOLKS WHO CREATE THE IMPACT ANYWAY.
UM, I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO HEAR ANY COMMENTS OR CON, BUT, UH, I JUST, I JUST HATE THIS, HAVE TO SAY NOTHING ABOUT IT.
AND THEN YOU'D COME TO THE FIRST MEETING IN JUNE AND RAISE OUR HANDS TO KILL IT OR NOT.
SO, UH, I THINK THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO READ THE COMMENTS.
YEAH, JUST ONE THING THAT CAME UP THAT SOMEBODY POINTED OUT TO ME, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS OTHER INTERESTING WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SCHOOL BOARD OR THE SCHOOL IMPACT FEE, WHICH I HAD NOT THOUGHT ABOUT, AND WE DIDN'T INCLUDE IN OUR DISCUSSION, BUT ACTUALLY IF YOU HAVE AN IMPACT FEE FOR THE SCHOOLS, I THINK IT MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT TO PASS A REFERENDUM BECAUSE THE VOTING PUBLIC SAY, WELL, WE APPROVED A, AN IMPACT FEE.
WHY DO YOU NEED A REFERENDUM? AND SO ACTUALLY IT, IT MAY BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE AND IT WAS POINTED OUT, DO YOU RAISE A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY COMPARED TO WHAT YOU REALLY NEED FOR THE SCHOOLS? BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN INTERESTING OBSERVATION THAT SOMEBODY PASSED ALONG TO ME.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT, AGAIN, I SAID MORE OF A QUESTION A COUPLE.
ABOUT A MONTH AGO, WE HAD, UM, A COUPLE OF DEVELOPERS COME IN WANTING TO REZONE PROPERTY OUTSIDE OF MAINLAND BLUFF.
UM, I KNOW IT GAINED A LOT OF ATTENTION AND ENDED UP IN THE PAPERS.
MY EMAIL BLEW UP AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD A PEEP ABOUT IT SINCE.
SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS TO SEE, IS THAT STILL TRYING TO BE PUSHED BEHIND THE SCENES? IS THAT STILL GONNA BE BROUGHT BACK TO COUNCIL OR WHERE ARE WE SITTING WITH THAT? YEAH, WE HAD A MEETING WITH MAITLAND BLUFF ON FRIDAY WITH REGARDS TO THEIR ANNUAL REVIEW ON THEIR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.
AND THE DEVELOPER WAS IN THERE AND THEY'RE WORKING.
THEY'RE STILL THE FOLKS THAT ARE REQUESTING THAT REZONING ARE STILL WORKING THROUGH ITEMS TO SEE WHAT DIRECTION THEY WANT, WANT TO GO.
THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE ADDRESSED THAT MAY IMPACT THEIR ABILITY TO COME BACK, BUT THEY'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH ALL OF THAT.
AND IF I COULD GO BACK TO THE MSC ANNEXATION, UM, DARE IS SEVERAL OF INITIATIVES THAT OUR PLANNING DEPARTMENT AND THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT IS WORKING ON, BUT REGARDLESS TO GROWTH BOUNDARIES WITH THE TOWN OF HARTSVILLE AND THE, UH, TOWN OF YEMEN, UH, SO IT MIGHT BE MORE APPROPRIATE IF YOU WOULD ALLOW ME TO INSTRUCT OUR PLANNING DIRECTOR, MR. MERCHANT, TO ADD THAT ITEM TO THE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE AGENDA, UH, TO GIVE YOU ALL AN OVERVIEW OF THAT SO THAT YOU ALL WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AT THE APPROPRIATE COMMITTEE TO, UH, TO DISCUSS THAT ITEM AT THE NEXT NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE MEETING IS THE SAME DAY AS THE EXECUTIVE COMMUNITY.
SO IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE TO BE IN FRONT OF NATURAL RESOURCES.
IS HOW WOULD YOU MAKE THAT PART OF YOUR NEXT METER THEN? EXCELLENT.
UM, IS THERE A PRE-FUND QUESTION ABOUT THE 2 78 COMMITTEE, I'M SORRY, 2 78 PROJECTS HERE, GAIN A MEETING.
UM, I HAVE A QUESTION, UH, WITH THIS, UH, THROUGHPUT STUDY THAT WE HAVE IN THE EXTENSION THAT HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT, WE ASKED FOR A DESIGN EXCEPTION, UM, FOR THE, UH, TRAFFIC SIGNAL, WHEN WILL HARBOR, IS THAT, UM, UM, GOING TO STAND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OF THE OTHER ACTIVITIES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE, THE DESIGN EXCEPTION REQUESTS FOR TRAFFIC LAW.
[00:20:02]
MR. GREENWAY WILL ANSWER THAT.SO LET ME MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION.
ARE YOU ASKING ME IF THE DELAY ON THE STUDY OF 2 78 IS GOING TO HOLD UP THE, AND DELAY THE ESCALATION OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT WINDMILL HARBOR? WELL, THAT'S A GOOD WAY TO PUT IT.
YEAH, WE'RE, WE'RE DRAFTING A LETTER RIGHT NOW TO, UH, THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION, UH, CHRISTY HALL, UH, TO REQUEST THAT DESIGNING EXCEPTION AM STATING THAT BECAUSE OF THE ADDITIONAL DELAY TO THE 2 78 PROJECT, WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND BE APPROVED TO INSTALL THE SIGNAL AT WINDMILL HARBOR.
WELL, THAT'S CERTAINLY ANSWERED IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. ADMINISTRATOR.
I APPRECIATE YOUR FOURTH NIGHT, RIGHT? AND LIKE YOU, SIR, MR.
SINCE YOU'RE UP THERE, MR. GREENWAY, I'M WONDERING IF YOU COULD DISCUSS THE, UH, PERSONAL DATA BREACH THAT, UH, REACTIONS BAD FOR COWORKER INFLAMMATION.
UM, THIS IS THIS THE ONE THAT OCCURRED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.
WELL, WE JUST GOT THE EMAIL ABOUT IT.
WE JUST GOT THE LETTER ABOUT IT AT HOME.
NO, IT'S PROBABLY THE ONE THAT HAPPENED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
AND I'M WONDERING IF THAT ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED.
IT'S THE, UM, EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE OUR DATA HAS JUST TAKEN PLACE.
UM, I WILL, I WILL BRIEFLY ADDRESS THIS HERE AND I MAY NEED TO CLARIFY SOME THINGS THAT MY ADMINISTRATORS REPORT AT SIX, BECAUSE I MAY MISSTATE THE SITUATION, BUT THAT DATA BREACH OCCURRED WITH A VENDOR, UH, THAT WE, UM, THAT WE EMPLOY HERE IN BUFORD COUNTY FOR VOTERS REGISTRATION.
IT WAS NOT ANYTHING LOCAL THAT HAPPENED WITH R D DEPARTMENT.
IT WAS A, IT WAS A DATA BREACH THROUGH A VENDOR THAT WE, THAT HAPPENED OUTSIDE OF THAT.
AND IF, IF THAT, IF I NEED TO CLARIFY THAT OR ADD MORE INFORMATION TO THAT I WILL DO SO AT SEXUAL NIGHT MINISTRATIVE REPORT.
WELL, YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'LL NEED TO CLARIFY ANYTHING EXCEPT THAT YOU WOULD LIKE YOU TO MAKE SURE I'VE EMBARRASSED BY THAT EVERYTHING HAS, HAS BEEN RESOLVED.
THERE IS NO FURTHER, UM, UH, SECURITY ISSUE FOR OUR DATA, FOR, UM, OUR VOLUNTEERS AND OUR EMPLOYEES DATA.
THERE WAS, UH, REGARDING FLOW WORKERS AND THEIR PAY, THEIR PERSONAL DATA, UH, WAS FOUND ON THE INTERNET AND MAKE SURE THAT NOT ONLY NO FURTHER, UH, BREACHES ARE NECESSARY, BUT EVERYBODY THAT MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED HAS ALSO BEEN IDENTIFIED NATIVE SIDE.
I'LL HAVE THOSE DETAILS FOR YOU AT SIX.
UH, ANOTHER QUESTION ON VOTER REGISTRATION, GO AHEAD.
UM, I HAVE LIAISON FOR THAT, YOUR SERVICES.
AND I THOUGHT WE HAD AN UNDERSTANDING THAT THE RIVERBEND LODGE WAS GOING TO BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR ADVANCED VOTING AND FOR VOTING IN THE PRIMARY AND THE GENERAL ELECTION HAS ANYTHING HAPPENED TO, UH, TO, UH, DISPOSE OF THAT IDEA SO THAT RIVERBED LODGE WILL NOT BE USED, UM, THAT I'M NOT AWARE OF? UM, I KNOW THAT I DID SPEAK BECAUSE THAT IS MY, UM, DISTRICT RIGHT NOW.
UH, I KNOW THAT, UM, UH, I WAS IN CONVERSATION WITH THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS AND THEY WERE VERY SINCERE ABOUT USING THAT AS A POLLING PLACE, UH, FOR THE, THE PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTION, ESPECIALLY SINCE SUN CITY IS NOW SPLIT INTO TWO DISTRICTS.
UM, AND THERE'S SOME 2100 HOMES THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THIS CHANGE.
UM, YEAH, WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE AN ANSWER FOR YOU ALL ON THAT AT SIX O'CLOCK AS PART OF MY ADMINISTRATORS REPORT AS WELL.
AND THEN I JUST HAVE ONE MORE FOR WATER WITH A VOTER REGISTRATION.
UH, ARE WE MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR PLAN, MR. ADMINISTRATOR, WITH REGARDS TO THE MYPILLOW WAREHOUSE AND STORAGE OF THE VOTING ROUTINES, THE LIST HAS BEEN FORWARDED TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSONNEL AND I'M WAITING ON COST AND TIMEFRAMES TO DO THAT WORK.
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO STORE THAT MATERIAL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ARRANGING AND SUGGESTING THAT.
ANY OTHERS, MR. HARVEY SHINE? YOU'RE QUIET.
THEN SEEING NO FURTHER ACTION TO BE TAKEN.
WE WILL ADJOURN THE CAUCUS MEETING AND RESUME COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING AT 6:00 PM.
