ALL RIGHT. NO CITIZENS COMMENTS. THE FIRST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR A GRANT TO FUND A PORTION OF THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT TERMINAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT.

THE SPONSOR MATCH IS EIGHT HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN DOLLARS. WHO WILL BE SPEAKING TO THIS? OK, MR. LIMBAUGH, THANK YOU.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON. >> JUST KEEP EVERYTHING EXCITING WE FIGURE BRING AN AIRPORT ITEM TO NATIONAL BUFFET. THANK YOU FOR HAVING US ON THIS. YES, I KNOW THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ITEM TO BRING FORWARD BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO GO AHEAD AND APPLY FOR THIS GRANT. JUST FOR A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND OR JUST AS A RECAP, THE WAY THIS WORKS IS IS RELATED TO THE TERMINAL PROJECT AND IF YOU MAY REMEMBER THE FAA HAS ALREADY GRANTED 1 10 MILLION DOLLAR GRANT FOR THE TURMOIL AND THAT HAS GOTTEN A START DESIGN AND EVERYTHING. THAT PROJECT IS NOW OUT FORBID SO IT IS ACTIVELY BEING BID BY CONTRACTORS AND WE INTEND TO RE RECEIVE OPEN THOSE BIDS IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS. AND THEN WHAT THE FAA SAID WAS IN ORDER FOR THEM TO BASICALLY MAKE THIS SECOND 10 MILLION DOLLAR GRANT AVAILABLE TO THE AIRPORT FOR FUNDING OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAD TO OPEN THOSE BIDS BEFORE JULY THE 10TH OF THIS YEAR.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ON THE SCHEDULE. WE'RE ON AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE COMING TO YOU FOR THE APPROVAL TO APPLY FOR THIS JUST IN ANTICIPATION OF OPENING THOSE BIDS AND THEN BEING ABLE TO EXECUTE ON THAT TIMELINE. THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE.

OK. THANK YOU. >> I HAVE MANY QUESTIONS FROM OTHER COUNCIL MEMBERS COUNTS BELOW WHETHER CHAIRMAN PARSIMONY IS GONE.

WE'VE RECEIVED HEBREW WELL WE HAVE NOT OPENED BIDS YET, SIR. >> SO WE'RE STILL ACTIVELY IN

THAT PROCESS. >> BUT WE DON'T GET I CERTAINLY HOPE SO.

THANK YOU. IF THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS ,WE NEED TO MOVE THIS FORWARD.

I NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE OR DENY THE APPLICATION FOR THIS PROJECT AND MOVE IT FORWARD TO FULL COUNCIL ON JUNE 13TH. OKAY. COUNCILMAN CUNNINGHAM MAKES A MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND CITY COUNCILMAN GLOVER MAKES A SECOND. WITHOUT OBJECTION THIS WILL MOVE FORWARD TO FULL COUNT.

[8. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS 36 HUNTER ROAD FOR THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT EXPANSION PROJECT (FISCAL IMPACT: PROPOSED PURCHASE PRICE $947,500; FAA VIA BIL AIG GRANT REIMBURSEMENT $814,500; AIRPORT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR $133,000 WHICH WILL BE PAID WITH ARPA FUNDS) ]

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT.

THE SEC NUMBER EIGHT ON THE AGENDA IS RECOMMENDATION OF APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS AND PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY AT IDENTIFIED AS 30 SECOND THUNDER ROAD FOR THE HILTON HEAD. AIRPORT EXPANSION PROJECT. THE PURCHASE PRICE IS NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS AND FIVE HUNDRED AND THIS IS PART OF A

GRANT REIMBURSEMENT. >> IS THAT CORRECT? AND YOU'RE GOING TO SPEAK TO THIS ONE. YES. OK.

OH YEAH. THE OTHER. THIS ANOTHER ONE.

IF JUST IN CASE BRITTANY NEEDS A JUMP IN SHE CAN BECAUSE SHE'S WORKED ON THE AUDIENCE FOR US.

[00:05:05]

BUT BASICALLY WHAT THIS IS IS THE FIFTH OF THE FIVE PROPERTIES THAT THE AIRPORT WAS ACQUIRING ALONG HUNTER ROAD AS PART OF THAT CAMPUS EXPANSION FOR THE TERMINAL FOR PARKING AND THE ASSOCIATED INFRASTRUCTURE THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT EXPANSION AND KIND OF REDEVELOPMENT. AND SO THIS ONE ACTUALLY THE TIMING IS PRETTY GOOD ON THIS BECAUSE SINCE THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW WAS SIGNED LAST NOVEMBER, THIS PROJECT NOW QUALIFIES FOR FUNDING UNDER THAT. SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS WE'LL HAVE A LITTLE BIT FASTER REIMBURSEMENT ON THIS PROPERTY PURCHASE SO WE WILL USE THE AIRPORT WILL APPLY FOR EIGHT HUNDRED FOURTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS THROUGH THE BRL AND THEN THE REST OF THAT IS A MATCH THAT THE AIRPORT HAS GOT BUDGETED IN FOR THIS YEAR FOR NEARLY MILITARY MPL IS FOR THAT IS A BYPASS BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE JUST FOR THE PUBLIC'S INFAMOUS IF YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

>> COUNCILMAN GLOVER, YOU HAVE A QUESTION. WILL YOU MAKE WOULD WHAT SIZE

OF PROPERTY IS THIS? >> I KNOW YOU SAID THE FIFTH OF LESS OF A FIFTH PROJECT THAT YOU WERE PURCHASING. SO I JUST DON'T SEE THE ACREAGE SIZE ON THIS.

OK. >> THE ACREAGE ON THIS ONE IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY IS ABOUT TWO AND THREE QUARTER ACRES IN SIZE AND A PORTION OF IT IS VACANT, UNUSED AND THEN A PORTION OF IT IS ACTUALLY BEING USED BY AVIS BUDGET RENTAL CAR COMPANY AS A RENTAL CAR CLEANING KIND OF TURNAROUND FACILITY AND THAT'S ANOTHER I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION BECAUSE THE OTHER ASPECT OF THIS PURCHASE IS THAT POSTPARTUM THE COUNTY WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER INTO A LEASE OR OFFER A LEASE TO AVIS BUDGET SO THEY CAN CONTINUE TO OPERATE ON THAT PROPERTY FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. IT'S UNKNOWN WE KNOW IT'LL BE AT LEAST TWELVE MONTHS BUT IT COULD VERY WELL BE LONGER THAN THAT WHICH IS GOOD FOR THEIR COMPANY, IS GOOD FOR THE AIRPORT AND IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTY BECAUSE THE COUNTY WILL RECOGNIZE SOME REVENUE THERE

WILL YOU RELEASE IT REALLY WERE THEY REALLY NEED ALREADY THERE? >> CURRENTLY RENTING IT FROM THE CURRENT PROPERTY OWNER WANTS A COUNTY PURCHASES AT THEN WE'LL HAVE A NEW LEASE WITH THAT. WITH BUDGET? YES.

OKAY. THANK YOU. >> CHAIRMAN CLASSMATE OR

COUNCILMAN CUNNINGHAM DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? >> IS THE PROPOSED PURCHASE PRICE BASED ON A RECENT APPRAISAL OR HOW IS THAT DETERMINED? YES. GOOD QUESTION. IT IS BASED ON AN APPRAISAL THAT WAS FINISHED THIS YEAR SO JANUARY FEBRUARY TIMEFRAME WE DID AN APPRAISAL AND THEN A

REVIEW APPRAISAL AS REQUIRED BY THE FAA. >> OK.

ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I'D LIKE TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION

TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS TO THE FULL COUNCIL. >> JUNE 13TH IF SOMEONE WILL MAKE A MOTION SO MOVEMENT IN JUNE ARTICLE BY COUNCILMAN GLOVER MADE THE MOTION AND

WE ARE A FEW WEEKS AGO I GOT A PICTURE FROM MOB MAYOR DEVITO AND BAM WILLIS WITH TOWN AND PORT ROYAL SHOWING THAT THE SANDS BOAT DOCK HAD BASICALLY LIFTED OUT OF SOME HINGES AND HAD BUCKLED UP VERTICALLY INTO THE AIR AND SUE WE IMMEDIATELY LOOKED INTO THE SITUATION DETERMINED IT WAS GONNA BE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT DUE TO THE INABILITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO USE THAT BOAT RAMP RAMP THAT BOAT DOCK IN THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL AUTHORIZED THE EMERGENCY EXPENDITURE OR HOSPITALITY TAX IN THE AMOUNT THAT WAS NECESSARY TO FIX THAT.

>> WE'VE DONE A TEMPORARY REPAIR TO IT BUT THIS MONEY WOULD AUTHORIZE THE COMPLETE FIX. WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE IS SEDIMENT BUILDS UP IN THE SANDS AND IF YOU DON'T KEEP IT WIPED OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THOSE DOCKS AT SOME POINT THE SEDIMENT BUILDS UP TO THE POINT THAT CAUSES THE DAMAGE. WE HAVE NOT DONE ANY SEDIMENT REMOVAL THERE BECAUSE OF THE PREVIOUS SCITUATE YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF ABOUT THE MAINTENANCE FOR PROPERTY. WE DON'T OWN OUR BOAT LINERS. WE DO NOT OWN SO THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEMS OF AUTHORIZED THE FIX. WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED.

WOULD THAT BE ANOTHER FIX? >> WELL WE'RE WELL BASED ON MY RECENT AUTHORIZED TO STAFF TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN BOAT LANDINGS WHETHER WE. OH NO NOT UNTIL WE CAN GET ALL THE AGREEMENTS IN PLACE. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

>> BUT WE HAVE WE HAVE CLEANED THE SEDIMENT NOW AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT MAINE AND WE ARE AS REPORTED A FEW WEEKS AGO WORKING WITH THE NEW OWNERS OF THE PORT PROPERTY IN THE SANDS BUT AT LANDING AND THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THE APPROPRIATE AGREEMENTS IN PLACE FOR US TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT MAINTENANCE INSIDE THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL

ON THE SANDS BOAT LANDING AND THAT IN THAT DOCK. >> VERY GOOD.
