I SAY IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLY HUMBLING JOURNEY AND WILDLY A WILDLY EDUCATIONAL RIDE. THERE ARE SO SO MANY MOVING PARTS WITHIN A SMALL NONPROFIT LIKE AND IT REALLY DOES TAKE A VILLAGE OF VOLUNTEERS AND MEMBERS TO KEEP OUR SHIP AFLOAT. NOT ONLY THAT BUT EMBRACING OUR COMMUNITY AND HARVESTING NEW RELATIONSHIPS WITH LIKE MINDED INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES IS IMPORTANT SO WE CAN ALL GROW TOGETHER, WORK TOGETHER AND PUSH ON INSPIRING AN EDUCATIONAL FUTURE THAT CELEBRATES HISTORY OF OUR BELOVED BLUFFTON. YOU CAN EXPECT MORE ME INCLUDING A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION ESPECIALLY REGARDING CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
[00:20:02]
PLAN AND OUR GOALS FOR WORKING WITH SCORE AND THEIR MENTORSHIP MENTORSHIP PROGRAM DURING FEBRUARY TOWN COUNCIL MEETING ANY QUESTIONS DISCUSSION OF THE JOB AND IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE QUARTERLY COULD WORK WELL YOU KNOW THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING FOR AN ACTUAL PRESENTATION QUARTERLY AND THEN A LOT OF THESE KINDS OF PUBLIC COMMENTS IN BETWEEN MINUTE.OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, KATE.
NEXT IS THE ANNUAL UPDATE OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT'S HANNAH ANDERSON.
HANNAH, WELCOME TO BLUFFTON COUNTY COUNCIL AND WE'RE TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE UP TO A YEAR YES ONE YEAR AS OF NOVEMBER EIGHT. OKAY. OKAY.
AND HANNAH SAME ALMOST ANNIVERSARY. OKAY.
THANK YOU HANNAH FOR SHARES. ALL RIGHT. SO I'M JUST HERE TO UPDATE YOU KIND OF ON WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST YEAR AND THE DIRECTION I WOULD LIKE TO GO WITH THE THE PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE LET YOU KNOW IF YOU CAN'T HEAR IT RIGHT I CAN'T HEAR HER VERY WELL.
YOU CAN OR CANNOT NOT USE THE MICROPHONE YOU DIDN'T GET INTO THAT MICROPHONE.
HANNAH OKAY SO I WANTED TO KIND OF START OUT WITH WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ITSELF AND THEN I WANTED TO MOVE ON TO KIND OF WHAT I'VE DONE IN THE COMMUNITY AS FAR AS LIKE LOCAL PUBLICATIONS THAT I'VE BEEN FEATURED IN AND AND LIKE RECOMMENDATIONS AND LIKE THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO FOR THE FUTURE SO WITHIN MY FIRST 30 DAYS ON THE JOB I STARTED RIDE ALONGS WITH OUR OFFICERS AT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND DOING FOLLOW UPS ON MENTAL HEALTH CALLS. I ALSO CREATED A DOCUMENTATION FOR MY FOLLOW UPS AND I WROTE THE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR MY POSITION.
I ALSO SHADOWED THE SAVANNAH POLICE DEPARTMENT'S BEHAVIORAL HEALTH UNIT AND THE RICHLAND COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE CRISIS TEAM. I BECAME CERTIFIED IN MENTAL HEALTH FIRST AID CRC AND I BECAME A CITY COORDINATOR AS WELL.
WITHIN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS ON THE JOB I REALLY STARTED NETWORK AND ATTEND MEETINGS WITH LOCAL RESOURCES. I CREATED A CONTACT BASED ON THESE PEOPLE OF OUR LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS AND ALSO CREATED A LIST OF ALL OF OUR LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES ALONG WITH THEIR SPECIALTIES WHICH HELPS ME WHEN I'M REFERRING PEOPLE TO RESOURCES. I BEGAN ATTENDING MONTHLY ZOOM CALLS WITH LOCAL RESOURCES A COUPLE DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS. I THINK THE OFFICER RESILIENCY TRAINING THAT WE HAD AT OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND I ALSO ATTENDED A SPOUSE SUPPORT GROUP MEETING.
I ALSO CONDUCTED A TRAINING WITH THE OFFICERS JUST GIVING THEM BASIC INFORMATION ON MENTAL HEALTH ALSO ASSISTED COUNTY PUBLIC SAFETY DEPARTMENT ON CREATING AND INTERVIEWING FOR A MENTAL HEALTH POSITION SIMILAR TO MINE AND AT ONE YEAR WHICH I JUST HIT I BECAME A CERTIFIED FIRST RESPONDER ASSOCIATE. I EVALUATED ALL OF OUR DEPARTMENTAL ON MENTAL HEALTH CALLS AND IN THE OUTCOMES OF THOSE CALLS I TO COMMUNITY TALKS ON COMPASSION FATIGUE AND BURNOUT I WAS FEATURED IN SEVERAL LOCAL PUBLICATIONS AND I BECAME A CITY INSTRUCTOR. THE PICTURE THERE IS ME WITH THE MY INSTRUCTORS.
ALL RIGHT. SO JUST KIND OF AN OVERVIEW MY STATISTICS I KEPT TRACK OF EVERYTHING FROM NOVEMBER 2021 TO NOVEMBER 2022 I RECEIVED 56 OFFICER REFERRALS.
I CONDUCTED 282 FOLLOW UPS WITH APPROXIMATELY 106 DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
I COMPLETED 132 SUPPLEMENTAL REPORTS AND I COMPLETED 155 HOURS OF TRAINING.
I'VE DONE CLOSER TO 600 RIGHT A LONG HOURS NOW WITH OUR I PERSONALLY ASSISTED ON 33 MENTAL HEALTH CALLS FOR SERVICE AND I HAVE ACCUMULATED 42 DIFFERENT RESOURCES OF THOSE RESOURCES THERE ARE NINE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTERS AND TREATMENT SIX LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, NINE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND NINE STATE AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.
SO MY ATTENTION FOR THE PACERS WAS THAT I'M STILL STRONG BODY CAM BUT I HAD SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES. SO THIS PICTURE ACTUALLY CAME FROM THE BAD DRIVERS OF BLUFFTON PAGE BUT YOU CAN SEE I'M CIRCLED THERE IN THE CORNER THERE'S A BAD DRIVER OF BLUFFTON. YES, I WOULD LOVE TO HELP BUT BUT YEAH THIS IS ONLY WAY I EVER WANT TO BE FEATURED ON THAT PAGE. SO THERE'S ME ON THE SIDEWALK TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO WAS JUST IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THEN I WAS ALSO PART OF OUR SOFTBALL TEAM THIS YEAR WE WERE BLUFFTON FOCUSED AND MY NUMBER IS ONE QUARTER ALL RIGHT SO COMMUNITY IMPLICATIONS I GAVE RIGHT BEFORE THAT I DID TWO TALKS ON BURNOUT AND COMPASSION FATIGUE.
I DISCUSSED HOW BOTH OF THEM AND COPING STRATEGIES FOR EACH AND I GAVE THESE TALKS THE
[00:25:06]
MONTAGE AT THEIR LUNCHEON LEARN SERIES FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES. I ALSO GAVE THE SAME TALK AT THE SEA PINES RESORT DURING THEIR HEALTH AND WELLNESS WEEK FOR THEIR THESE ARE THINGS I'VE BEEN FEATURED IN MEDIA SOCCER'S MEMO FOR TODAY THE BLUFFTON SUN ALSO WROTE AN ARTICLE ABOUT MY POSITION MYSELF AND COUNCILWOMAN FRAZIER WERE INTERVIEWED WITH THE WSIB TO TALK ABOUT THE PHYSICIAN AS WELL AND THEN HILTON HEAD MONTHLY DID AN ARTICLE AS WELL SO A FEW FUTURE ENDEAVORS I WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH NOW THAT I'M A CITY INSTRUCTOR I BE AN IN-HOUSE TRAINER FOR OUR OFFICERS SO I WOULD LIKE TO CERTIFY OF THE OFFICERS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT'S A TALL ORDER. IT MIGHT TAKE A WHILE BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ACCOMPLISH. ALSO I THINK IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO ADOPT A THERAPY FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT CAN BE USED ON CALLS, IT CAN BE USED WITH THE COMMUNITY WITH THE OFFICERS. THEY'VE ALSO BEEN SHOWN TO ASSIST DURING VICTIM. IT CAN REDUCE THEIR ANXIETY ALSO I THINK THAT A PEER SUPPORT POSITION BE NICE. THE RUDERMAN REPORT HAS REALLY BROUGHT AWARENESS TO THE MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES THAT ALL FIRST RESPONDERS FACE AND OUR POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS EVEN LOST ONE OF THEIR OWN TO SUICIDE. SO I BELIEVE THAT A PEER SUPPORT POSITION WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL TO THE OFFICERS AND THEN MAYBE IN THE FUTURE A COMMUNITY HEALTH OFFICER POSITION THAN ME AT THAT INDIVIDUAL COULD ACT AS OUR DEPARTMENT SEE IT TO CORRESPOND TOGETHER TO ALL OF THE MENTAL HEALTH CALLS AND THAT'S IT. IT'S A LOT OF WORK WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING IN YOUR SPARE TIME. WHAT'S YOUR TIME QUESTIONS SINCE BRIDGET THIS WAS KIND OF YOUR A COUPLE OF YOUR QUESTIONS AND I'LL GO DOWN ONE I DO HAVE A ONE QUESTION BUT BEFORE I DO THAT I JUST WANT TO APPLAUD YOU AND WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED IN THE YEAR I WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD ALSO COUNCIL FOR BEING RECEPTIVE FOR ALLOWING ME TO PUT THE INITIATIVE INTO THE BUDGET WHEN WE FIRST TALKED ABOUT IT BECAUSE A LOT OF COMMUNITIES STAY AWAY FROM THE CONVERSATION OR EVEN APPROACH IT LIKE THIS AND UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CRIMINAL AND AN AND A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS AND IF WE TREAT LIKE CRIMINALS SOMETIMES THAT RESPONSE AND POURING FIRE POURING GASOLINE ON THE FIRE IS GOING TO SEEM IN THAT. BUT TAKING A HUMAN APPROACH AND RECOGNIZING DE-ESCALATION TECHNIQUES ARE BETTER GOING TO SERVE THEM IS A GREAT APPROACH AND I'M PROUD THAT WE HAVE COMMON FOR OTHER COMMUNITIES NOT JUST IN THIS STATE BUT EVEN OUTSIDE OF THE STATE IN HOW TO APPROACH THE GROWING PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE WITH IT. SO I'M VERY EXCITED FOR EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING TO COME FROM THIS PROGRAM AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE DOING ALL THE GREAT THINGS THAT YOU'RE DOING WITH IT AND KUDOS AGAIN US FOR BEING A LEADER IN THIS ENDEAVOR. I BELIEVE IN TRUE COMMUNITY POLICING AND LOOKING AT PEOPLE AS THEY SHOULD SEEM. MY ONE QUESTION IS I SEE THE THE OUTREACH THAT YOU'VE DONE IN GOING ON THE RIDE ALONGS AND EVERYTHING ELSE. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN SEEING YOUR THOUGHTS ON ALSO MERGING WITH THE SORROWS PARTICULARLY ONES IN OUR JURISDICTION WHO ARE IN LOCAL SCHOOLS AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY DEAL WITH WITH STUDENTS KNOWING THAT MOST SCHOOLS DO NOT HAVE A PSYCHOLOGIST WHO'S ON FULL TIME AND MORE SO JUST DOING LIKE IEP TYPE THINGS OUT NOW HOW CAN WE PARTNER WITH THEM TO KIND OF GIVE THEM SUPPORT TO STUDENTS WHO ARE ALSO SUFFERING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES? THAT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO LOOK LOOK TOWARDS IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE THE SORROWS ARE TO ASK MORE QUESTIONS OR BRING MORE PEOPLE TO THEIR ATTENTION IN SOME OF THE SCHOOLS DO HAVE SCHOOL COUNSELORS SO I DON'T WANT TO STEP ON ANY TOES BUT I WOULD LOVE HAVE THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM WHERE WE CAN COLLABORATE TO HELP KIDS. YEAH.AS A FORMER EDUCATOR I WOULD SAY IT WOULD BE A GREAT BECAUSE SADLY EDUCATION ISN'T ALLOWED TO BE IN ROLE NOW MORE SO COUNSELORS ARE INUNDATED WITH TESTING AND ISP'S AND CAREER PLANNING AND THERE IS NO FOCUS ON ANY TYPE OF MENTAL HEALTH AND OUR STUDENTS DEFINITELY CAN BENEFIT FROM THAT AND SO I'M INVESTED PARTNER AND SOMEHOW WITH THOUGHTS IN DOING I THINK IT'S GREAT I WOULD LOVE THAT YES. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THE PANEL IS VERY AGGRESSIVE WITH ALL OF YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENT IT'S IN THE FIRST YEAR THERE I I MEAN THINK ABOUT GETTING YOUR NAME RIGHT. YEAH SOMETIMES I WONDER ABOUT
[00:30:07]
WELL I WANT TO OF THE ON ANYTHING ELSE AND WE'VE BEEN VERY BUSY I ALSO WANT TO COMMEND BRIDGET FOR THE FOR THE FOR THIS VISION AND BRINGING YOU INTO THE INTO OUR COMMUNITY BUT DON'T LISTEN TO BRIDGET ABOUT ALL THESE NEW IDEAS YOU ALREADY BURNED OUT YOUR KNOW YOU'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS AND YOU'VE DONE MORE THAN PROBABLY THE WHOLE REGION HAS DONE IN THE LAST TEN YEARS. SO BRIDGET READY TO DO I PROMISE I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THANK YOU AGAIN. I THINK YOU'VE HEARD THE KUDOS UP HERE.WELL DESERVED. LARRY BEAT ME TO WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING IN THE LAST YEAR.
IF YOU HAVEN'T IT WHATEVER IT IS AND YOU'LL START FROM THE TOWN YOU DESERVE ONE.
THANK YOU SO THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO. THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE IT. ONE THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADD IS ONE OF THE REASONS I WANT TO TALK IS THERE'S SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED ABOUT IT AS IT MORE TO BE WITH HER ROLE JUST FOR THE POLICE. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS THAT HER ROLE IS ACTUALLY TO REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SHE CAN ALSO HELP THE POLICE BUT THAT'S HER PRIMARY GOAL AND I KNOW LIKE THE PUBLICATIONS THAT CAME OUT WHENEVER WE HAD OUR MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION BOARD WOULD JUST MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTOOD THAT'S OUR TOP PRIORITY AS A COMMUNITY. WELL YOU HAVE A LOT IN THAT DANIELLE ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO? I THINK THIS COUNCIL WOULD SUPPORT IT IN A BUDGET THAT THERE'S A PROCESS. YES.
TO WHOMEVER LOVE THE IDEA ABOUT A THERAPY DOG WE HAVE ONE. WAS IT JUST AS A THERAPY FOR HER? WAS IT JUST A DOG IN THE DEPARTMENT I LIKED IT'S BETTER.
IT'S CUTER. ARE YOU WILLING PARTICIPANTS IN THIS AUDIENCE THAT CAN HELP YOU TO CONNECT WITH SO MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HURTING? AND I AGREE THIS NEEDS TO BE HELPING OUR RESIDENTS AND I HATE TO KEEP CALLING OUT SHERIFF SHE'S RIGHT THERE ARE LOTS AND HOSPITALS SO YOU KNOW PEOPLE LIKE THAT CAN CONNECT YOU TO THE PRINCIPLES THAT CAN CONNECT YOU WITH ADULT KNOW A LOT ABOUT THIS THAT RIGHT HERE SCHOOL DISTRICT RIGHT HERE SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT IF THERE'S A CONSERVATIVE COUNCILOR COUNSELING THEM TO GET THEM A JOB OR IN COLLEGE AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THE COUNSELORS OR THE COUNSELORS HAD YOU KNOW, IN SCHOOL SO I THINK IT'D BE A WELCOME IF GOSH EVERY TOWN COULD HAVE A YOU AND THEY EVERY COUNTY TO HAVE A YOU AND THEN YOU KNOW IT SO BUT DON'T LET YOUR CUP RUN OVER 18,000 FILL IT LARRY SAID THAT A LITTLE WHILE AGO DON'T FILL TO THE POINT IT FALLS OUT BECAUSE THEN YOU MAKE A MESS. SO STAY STAY TRACK AND GOOD JOB.
THANK YOU. CAN YOU COME BACK WHENEVER YOU CAN DO A SIX MONTH OR EVEN A LOT OF RIGHT. OKAY. THANK YOU.
WE HAD AN ADDITION TO THE BEFORE SOMEBODY ELSE CAME IN AND IT WAS ITEM NUMBER SIX AND IT IS AN UPDATE FROM OUR LEGAL COUNSEL. WE YEARS AGO WHERE THE LAWSUIT WAS FILED AGAINST TOWN OF BLUFFTON AND IT TOOK PLACE MONDAY AND I JUST THINK IT'S A PUBLIC AWARENESS BENEFIT THAT THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW WHAT IT WAS.
SO MR. FENDER, YOU'RE UP THANK YOU MAYOR AND COUNCIL AND STAFF AT HARD ACT TO FOLLOW IT BUT I'LL TRY MY BEST. LAST WEEK THE CASE OF SKIP HALL ONE VERSUS THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON WAS TRIED BEFORE A JURY HERE IN BEAUFORT COUNTY. HONORABLE BOBBY BARNES FROM WALTERBORO WAS THE PRESIDING JUDGE. THE TRIAL STARTED LAST MONDAY MORNING. WE HAD A JURY EIGHT WOMEN AND FOUR MEN WITH TWO FEMALE ALTERNATE. MR. HOAGLAND SUED THE TOWN ON TWO CAUSES OF ACTION.
HE SUED FOR ASSAULT AND FOR FALSE IMPRISONMENT. MR. HOAGLAND DID NOT THE TOWN FOR ANY TYPE OF ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OR VIOLATION OF HIS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
THE CHOICES OF HIS CAUSE ACTIONS WERE MADE BY MR. HOAGLAND AND HIS ATTORNEY.
ASSAULT INVOLVES ACTION THAT CAUSED A REASONABLE PERSON TO FEAR HARM FALSE IMPRISONMENT INVOLVES ACTION WHICH WRONGFULLY RESTRAIN A PERSON. AND AGAIN THOSE WERE THE ONLY TWO CAUSES OF ACTION THAT WERE ASSERTED ASSAULT AND FALSE IMPRISONMENT.
THE TOWN ANSWERED THE COMPLAINT WITH A GENERAL DENIAL AND NUMBER OF OTHER DEFENSES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA TORT CLAIMS ACT, WHICH PROTECTS MUNICIPALITIES IN CERTAIN WAYS. THIS CASE INVOLVED A TOWN COUNCIL MEETING THAT WAS OVER SEVEN YEARS AGO DECEMBER 8TH, 2015. AT THAT MEETING MAYOR SALKA
[00:35:05]
REVIEWED THE RULES OF PROTOCOL AS IT PERTAINS TO PUBLIC COMMENT.THE TOWN ORDINANCES INVOLVING PUBLIC COMMENT DATE BACK TO AT LEAST 2006.
THE 2006 AMENDMENTS AT THE TIME ALLOW TOWN COUNCIL TO ADOPT REASONABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND PROTOCOL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. REASONABLE RULES WERE IN FACT ADOPTED BY THIS COUNCIL. THOSE RULES HAVE BEEN AND HAVE BEEN PUT UP ON THE PROJECTOR AT EVERY COUNCIL WHERE PUBLIC COMMENT HAS BEEN HELD SINCE APRIL OF 2012.
THE RULES ARE REVIEWED BY MAYOR SAWKA AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY PUBLIC COMMENT EACH OF YOU HAVE HEARD THEM. ANYBODY WHO IS A LONG TIME ATTENDER OF OUR MEETINGS HAS HEARD THEM. SHE WENT THROUGH THAT AND DID ANNOUNCE THEM ON THE NIGHT IN QUESTION. WE DID HAVE AN AUDIO THAT WAS PLAYED DURING THE COURSE OF THE TRIAL PROBABLY EIGHT OR NINE TIMES. AND IN THAT AUDIO IS CLEAR THAT OUR RULES WERE UP ON THE BOARD AND THEY WERE SET FORTH BY MAYOR SALKA.
YOUR RULES ESSENTIALLY STATE THAT A PERSON MUST BE RESPECTFUL DURING A PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE NIGHT IN QUESTION. MAYOR SALKA RULES THAT MR. HOAGLAND WAS BEING DISRESPECTFUL WHEN ATTACKED VERBALLY ATTACKED OUR TOWN MANAGER. SHE SEES THIS PUBLIC COMMENT AND WAS ESCORTED OUT OF THE CHAMBER AS WE WERE BACK IN THE OLD AUDITORIUM AT THE TIME WERE NOT HERE HE WAS ESCORTED OUT OF CHAMBERS BY OFFICERS MANNING AND CARMODY. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO PHYSICAL ALTERCATION. MR. HOGAN WAS NOT ARRESTED NOR .
WAS HE CHARGED WITH ANY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF ANY SORT? AT THE TRIAL MR. HOGAN CALLED AT HIS WITNESSES WHO ARE RETIRED POLICE OFFICER CARMODY MAYOR SAWKA AND HIMSELF.
THE TOWN CALLED MARK ORLANDO, FORMER POLICE CHIEF JOE MANNING AND ME.
I TESTIFIED IT'S WEIRD FOR A TRIAL ATTORNEY TO BE A WITNESS AS OPPOSED TO ASKING QUESTIONS I HAD TO ANSWER. OFFICER MANNING APPEARED BY VIDEO DEPOSITION AND THE REMAINING WITNESSES ALL APPEARED LIVE. THE MAYOR, TOWN MANAGER AND I WERE PRESENT THROUGH THE TRIAL AND MR. TUMA JOINED US ON THURSDAY.
THE PRIMARY ISSUES IN THIS CASE WERE WHETHER HOGAN DISRESPECTFUL.
DID THE MAYOR HAVE THE RIGHT TO IF HE WAS DISRESPECTFUL AND TERMINATE HIS RIGHT TO CONTINUE TALKING? AND LAST WAS ASSAULTED OR FALSELY IMPRISONED ON THE NIGHT IN QUESTION. THE TESTIMONY CONCLUDED AFTER LUNCH ON THURSDAY OF LAST WEEK.
FINAL ARGUMENTS WERE MADE AND THE CASE WENT TO THE JURY AT ABOUT 230 3:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. THE WAS OUT FOR LESS THAN AN HOUR AND RETURNED A VERDICT IN FAVOR OF THE TOWN AND AGAINST HOGAN ON ALL POINTS IN ISSUE. THE JURY VERDICT FORM WAS FILED WITH THE COURT LAST THURSDAY DECEMBER 8TH AT 4:39 P.M. AND THE VERDICT FORM IS AS FOLLOWS ONE. HAS THE PLAINTIFF MR. HOGAN HAS THE PLAINTIFF MR. HOGAN MET THE BURDEN OF PROOF BY THE GREATER OR PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE DEFENDANT TOWN HILTON HEAD ASSAULTED HIM ON DECEMBER EIGHT, 2015. THE JURY SAID NO.
NUMBER TWO HAS THE PLAINTIFF MET THE BURDEN OF PROOF BY THE GREATER WEIGHT OR THE PREPONDERANCE OF THE EVIDENCE THAT? THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON FALSELY IMPRISONED HIM ON DECEMBER EIGHT, 2015. THE JURY SAID NO.
NUMBER THREE THE JURY SAID WE FIND FOR PLAINTIFF AND NUMBER FOUR WE FIND AGAINST MR..
AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL THE TOWN REQUESTED THAT JUDGE ORDER MR. HOGAN TO PAY REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS INCURRED BY THE TOWN. THAT REQUEST IS UNDER CONSIDERATION BY THE JUDGE. HE HAS GIVEN US A REASONABLE TIME TO FILE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS SO HE MAY CONSIDER THAT LAST REMAINING ISSUE. I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT ANYONE FROM COUNSEL MAY HAVE IT CLEARLY SIGNALS THAT THE RULES THAT YOU HAVE ADOPTED ARE IN MY LEGAL OPINION AND APPARENTLY THE JURY AGREED 100% QUICKLY THAT YOUR RULES ARE REASONABLE THAT THEY WERE IMPLEMENTED CORRECTLY ON THE NIGHT IN QUESTION AND I WOULD URGE US TO CONTINUE TO POST THOSE RULES THOSE RULES AND CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD.
SO ANY QUESTIONS FROM COUNSEL. ANY QUESTIONS? WELL, YES.
[00:40:07]
YES. FOR THOSE IN THE AUDIENCE WE'VE HAD TO ENDURE THIS FOR SEVEN YEARS LISTENING TO THE SAME STORY OVER AND OVER. HOW MANY LAWSUITS HAS MR. HOGAN LOST? THE SECOND PART OF MY TIME THAT WE CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID THE OTHER DAY HE SAID THE TOWN OF BLUFF OR THAT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS IN TOWN OF HILTON HEAD BACK IN 2017 WHEN THAT LAWSUIT ON WAS DISMISSED WITHOUT A TRIAL JUDGE GRANTED SUMMARY JUDGMENT, IT WAS REMOVED FROM COURT TO FEDERAL COURT AND JUDGE GERGEL DISMISSED FIRST LAWSUIT AGAINST THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD. THE SECOND LAWSUIT WAS HOGAN VERSUS THEM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. THAT LAWSUIT WAS FILED IN 2017 AND IT WAS DISMISSED WITHOUT TRIAL ON LEGAL GROUNDS JUST LIKE THE FIRST ONE WAS SAYING WE HAD NO RIGHT TO RECOVER. THAT WAS DISMISSED BY JUDGE LAWTON MCINTOSH.A THIRD LAWSUIT KIM LIKENS VERSUS HOGAN. IT WAS A DEFAMATION CASE THAT WAS PENDING AND BEAUFORT COUNTY WAS ULTIMATELY SETTLED, DID NOT GO TO TRIAL, WAS STOLEN BY AN MS. LIKE AND RECOVERED. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHAT SHE RECOVERED BUT WAS SAID ANOTHER LAWSUIT HE WAS INVOLVED IN WAS . OUR MAYOR SOKOL SUED HIM AND HIS COMPANY FOR DEFAMATION. THE JURY VERDICT IN THAT CASE WAS ON FEBRUARY 2022 THIS YEAR THE JURY $40 MILLION IN ACTUAL DAMAGES AND $10 MILLION IN PUNITIVE DAMAGES AGAINST MR. HOGAN. I DON'T KNOW. LET'S MAKE SURE NOTHING HOLDS IT THERE AND I AM INFORMED I'M REASONABLY INFORMED THAT MR. NORMAN HAS NOT PAID A DIME ON THAT 50 MILLION. AT THIS POINT IN TIME IT HAS NOT BEEN APPEALED.
LET ME KNOW WHEN IT COMES TO ANOTHER THREE FOR ANOTHER LAWSUIT DEMANDS NEW MEDIA COMPANY WHICH IS MR. HOGAN COMPANY VERSUS THE HILTON HEAD BLUFFTON CHAMBER COMMERCE.
IT WAS A FOIA REQUEST. THE SOUTH KOREAN SUPREME COURT RULED MR. HOGAN THAT HE GOT THE HILTON IN BLUFFTON CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WAS SUBJECT TO FOI WITH OUR SOUTH KOREA SUPREME COURT SAID THEY ARE NOT AMONG OTHER INTERESTING THINGS. MR. HOGAN TESTIFIED THAT OUR SOUTH KIND OF SUPREME COURT MUST BE CORRUPTED. RULE TO READ SUCH A RULING.
LASTLY IN YOU KNOW LASTLY MR. HOGAN VERSUS MAYOR JOHN GOLDBERG AND THE CITY OF CHARLESTON AND THE CHARLESTON POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR A SIMILAR INCIDENT WHERE HE WAS TOLD HE COULD NO LONGER SPEAK AT PUBLIC COMMENT BY MAYOR BLOOMBERG AND THAT CASE WAS FILED IN 2018 AND THAT WAS ALSO DISMISSED BY A JUDGE WITHOUT WITHOUT ANY TRUST.
I THINK THAT ARTICLE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SOME HAVE SAID THAT THE TOWN GOT ABSORBED INTO PALMETTO BLUFF. NEVERTHELESS THE MUNICIPALITY OF BLUFFTON NOW STANDS AT 54 SQUARE MILES 54 TIMES THE SIZE IT WAS ON THAT NOVEMBER DAY AND 98. WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP TO COUNCIL TODAY REGARDING THE FINAL READING OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE PALMETTO BLUFF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND CONCEPT PLAN HAS TO DO WITH CAPACI THERE ARE AND I SUSPECT THERE WILL ALWAYS BE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION ABOUT WHAT IS ENOUGH DEVELOPERS HAVE THEIR VIEW ENVIRONMENTALISTS HAVE ANOTHER AND RESIDENTS WHO CAN FIND THEMSELVES AT THE SAME TIME WISHING FOR MORE TOWN SERVICES AND GRIPING ABOUT ALL THE DARN TRAFFIC A COMPLICATED FEW TOWN LEADERS A CHANCE TO SERVE ALL THESE COMPETING CONSTITUENCIES EVERY TIME YOU RAISE THE MILITARY, EXPAND THE TOWN BOUNDARIES OR ANOTHER PD YOU'RE MINDFUL OF THE COST OF SERVICES.
YOU MAY ALSO BE TRYING TO FIND NEW REVENUE SOURCES, FUTURE AWESOME PROJECTS BUT WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT BLUFFTON IS THAT WE LIVE ON THIS MAGNIFICENT IT IS WHAT BROUGHT THE FIRST INDIGENOUS SETTLERS EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAVE FOLLOWED WE ARE CURRENTLY BUILDING A TOWN INTO A CITY AT THIS RIVER'S EDGE. WE KNOW AS THE ROOFS GO UP THE RUNOFF GOES DOWN ADDITIONAL VEHICLES AND THE CHEMICAL WASTE THAT FROM THEM ONTO THE HIGHWAY GOES DOWN THE GARBAGE AND THE SEWAGE ALWAYS GO DOWN. WHAT A DOLLAR CAN BUY GOES DOWN WHAT SOUTH STREET PARTNERS NEED FOR THEIR MARINA COMPLEX. PALMETTO BLUFF IS THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON.
[00:50:04]
SO THE QUESTION COMES TO YOU WHAT DOES THE TOWN NEED FOR THIS MARINA? IF WE WEREN'T SO INTRICATELY BOUND TO ONE ANOTHER IN THE MAE RIVER WATERSHED AND BY THE VERY UNIQUE NATURE OF THE LOWCOUNTRY WE WOULD PERHAPS HAVE FEWER BUT WE SHARE COMMON GROUND HERE WELL BEYOND, THE 54 SQUARE MILES SOME OF US PUBLISH ADVERTISING IS A WONDROUS NATURE HERE. ALL OF THIS WHOLE RESPONSIBILITY DIDN'T DO A LOT MORE THAN JUST MAINTAIN THIS BEAUTY FOR OURSELVES AND PROFITS BUT FOR THE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF HUMAN FISH, BIRD AND MICROBIAL WILDLIFE. TO DO THAT WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THIS CAN SUSTAIN AS STEWARDS WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT IS ENOUGH. THANK YOU STERLING BROWN WE WANT TO SAY HAPPY HOLIDAYS FOR MY TIME. SO HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE AND ADDRESS CLICK. KAREN BROWN WON 60 YOU COLORADO AND I'M ALWAYS COMING TO YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT THE MISSION STATEMENT THE VISION STATEMENT OF BLUFFTON OKAY SO I AM HERE TO REPRESENT MY NEIGHBORHOOD. SO MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS WAS PREDOMINANTLY OKAY.THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT I'M REPRESENTING. OKAY? SO IT HAS BECOME VERY TRANSPARENT TO ME THAT THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON HAS TWO SETS OF ORDINANCE LAWS. IF YOU WILL WHEN IT COMES TO PEOPLE OF COLOR THAT WE ARE GOVERNED BY DIFFERENTLY WHAT IS ALLOWED FOR OTHERS IS NOT ALLOWED FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR FOR MANUFACTURE ONE SET OF APPLICATIONS ON YOUR PROPERTY, HOW MANY DWELLINGS YOU CAN HAVE, WHAT YOU CAN PUT ON YOUR PROPERTY. PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE GIVEN A DIFFERENT STANDARD COMPLY WITH YOU HAVE BUSINESSES THAT SET UP IN RESIDENTIAL THAT ARE NOT HOME BASED. THEY ARE ALLOWED TO BUILD DECKS THEIR PORCHES ON THEIR TRAILERS, MORE MOBILE HOMES AND NOBODY IS PENALIZED. WHY? I DON'T KNOW. SO YOU HAVE THE BOOK BILL ROSE TO A PROJECT WHERE RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED LESS QUALITY GRADE OF CONCRETE FOR SIDEWALKS AND ALSO FOR LANE FEATURES LARRY YOU READ BY THE U.S. JUST LOOK AT HOW THE EPA HAS GOT A DIFFERENT RATING TO IT AND THIS IS NOTHING I'M MAKING UP I WRITE DOWN THE TOWN OF WALTON AND THE SIDEWALKS AND BEAUTIFUL ALL OF THEM THE SAME GREAT THE LIGHT'S A BEAUTIFUL IS THE HAMILTON WHEN IS THE TOWN TO PURCHASE GREENSPACE FOR WHERE RESIDENTS SUCH AS I LIVE PARKS AND RECREATION IN THE AREAS OF BLUFFTON AND SMITHVILLE ROAD SURROUNDING AREAS CLOSED IN THAT AREA THE TOWN PARK IS 37 ACRES FROM PALMETTO BLUFF AND A NEW RIVERSIDE BANK IN 2018 TO PROVIDE WHAT OPEN SPACE AND PARKS FOR ALL RESIDENTS IS OUT THERE BECAUSE I'M SURE YOU'RE NOT GOING TO RIGHT AWAY IDEAS TO ENJOY THOSE AMENITIES DO WE NOT MAN I COME TO YOU GUYS ALL THE TIME YOU SIT HERE YOU MAKE THESE LAW AND ORDINANCE AND BELIEVE THEM BE CONSIDERED WHEN YOU MAKE THEM NOW IS THERE A STRATEGIC PLAN TO EVEN PURCHASE AND PRESERVE PRESERVE DESCENDANTS BLACK OWNED LAND IN THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON YOU HAVE THEM UP FOR SALE RIGHT NOW YOU YOU JUST TOOK DOWN ONE THAT WAS WAS NOT APPROVED.

THE JULY MINUTES COMMISSIONER SAMPSON MADE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE JOINT A HOUSE WITH CERTAIN CONDITIONS. DID THE OWNER SUBMIT PAPERWORK THAT WAS STIPULATED IN THE JULY 6 MINUTES TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE PC TOWN TO DEMOLISH THAT JOHN DOES ANYBODY BUT NO IF NOT THEN WE GOT DOUBLE STANDARDS BRIDGET FRAZIER TO GO TO JAIL AND HOW LONG TO ENSURE THE BUILDING A FEDERAL COURT WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE AND THAT'S A WHITE OWNED BUILDING IS TIME FOR CHANGE NOW COME YOU GUYS GOT TO DO BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN PEOPLE. THANK YOU, MISS BROWN AND PUBLIC COMMENT COMMUNICATIONS FROM YOUR COUNCIL AND IT'S IT'S A GOOD TIME TO TALK ABOUT ANY COMMITTEES THAT Y'ALL ARE ON IF YOU WANT TO PROVIDE ANY UPDATES OR JUST YOUR OWN UPDATE CALLS, START WITH ANYTHING I ALONG THE BORDER BLOCK AND CASH FOR VOLUNTEERS MEDICINE MR.

WE HAVE PUBLIC HEARING IN FINAL READING ON THREE ITEMS AND CAN YOU JUST STAND STAND UP FOR ALL OF BUT I THINK WE NEED TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING OH YEAH I WAS GOING TO DO THAT. YEAH.

NO MA'AM I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT AT THE LAST MEETING THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS CONCERNS, VARIOUS DEFINITIONS. WE PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION.
MR. FINGER WORKED WITH THE APPLICANT'S ATTORNEY TO GET TO THE LANGUAGE THAT IS IN YOUR PACKET AVAILABLE TO GO THROUGH THIS INFORMATION IF YOU LIKE. IF NOT, I DO HAVE A PROPOSED SOLUTION YOU IN THERE THERE ARE TWO MOTIONS ON HERE THE SO YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU PROVIDE BOTH POLICE THE DEFINITION AND THE SECOND ITEM OR THE THIRD I DON'T IT'S ADDED INTO THE INTO THE AGREEMENT AND I'VE PROVIDED A COPY OF IT HERE JUST SO YOU CAN SEE.
BUT IS IT ON THE SECOND ITEM IS IT OR I JUST WANT A YES UNDER THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
OKAY. YEAH SO AND IT'S IN THE ORDINANCE LANGUAGE WHAT IS AND I'LL LET MR. TOOMER ASSETS I KNOW THAT WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM QUESTIONS ANY QUESTIONS OR INFORMATION ON THE SUB LARRY NO UNRELATED WHAT JERRY'S PUT IN HERE AND SATISFIED THE ADDRESS OF ALL OF MY CONCERNS OKAY SO WE HAVE TWO MOTIONS THE THIRD ITEM NUMBER TWO UNDER 11 ON IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE READING OF THE ORDINANCE FOR THE FIFTH AMENDMENT TO THE PALMETTO BLUFF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE FOR SECOND DRAFT STACK STORAGE BECAUSE TRACTS AND SAND MARINA WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS THE REQUEST FOR FUEL OVER WATER COULD BE DENIED THAT A SECOND DRIVE STACK AT SOME MARINA IN THE BIG HOUSE BE AUTHORIZED UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS THE NUMBER OF WET SLIPS CANNOT EXCEED 170 WHICH IS THE NUMBER CURRENTLY PERMITTED FROM THE 400 SLIPS AUTHORIZED UNDER THE SECOND AMENDMENT 234 THE DRAFT STACK SLIPS WET SLIPS MAY BE CONVERTED TO DRY STACK SLIPS ONE WET SLIP MAY BE CONVERTED TO TWO DRASTIC SLIPS DRY STACK SLIPS CANNOT BE CONVERTED TO WET SLIPS THE THIRD SET SO ANY DISCUSSION OF PAPERS TYPE OF THING I I OPPOSED THAT UNANIMOUS IN QUESTIONS ON ITEM NUMBER THREE FOR KEVIN IS THERE A MOTION ON SECOND READING OF THE ORDINANCE FOR THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE PALMETTO BLUFF CONCEPT PLAN TO PROVIDE FOR A SECOND DRY STACK BOAT STORAGE AT THE BIG HOUSE TRACKS. ANSWER MARINA WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS THE REQUESTS FOR FUEL OVER WATER NEED TO DENIED AND A SECOND DRAFT STEP INTO THE MARINA AND BECAUSE TRACK AUTHORIZED UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS THE NUMBER OF WET SLIPS CANNOT EXCEED 170 WHICH IS THE NUMBER CURRENTLY PERMITTED FROM THE 400 SLIPS AUTHORIZED UNDER THE SECOND AMENDMENT. THIS LEADS HUNDRED AND 34 DRASTIC SLIPS.
WET FLOATS MAY BE CONVERTED TO DRY STACK SLIPS ONE WET SLIP MAY BE CONVERTED FOR TWO DRASTIC SLIPS DRY TO STACK FLUIDS CANNOT BE CONVERTED TO SOME SO ANY DISCUSSION IS LENGTHY BUT I THINK THIS CLEARS UP ONE SMALL SECTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE DOING THIS HERE SO ON SO ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ALL IN FAVOR SAY I OPPOSE THAT'S UNANIMOUS. JUST SAY THAT THIS GROUP INHERITED THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WHERE NONE OF US WERE AROUND PUTTING MYSELF I JUST YOU'RE 21 BEING YOUR LAWYER BUT WE ALL INHERIT THIS DOCUMENT AND EACH TIME YOU HAVE LOOKED AT IT AND AMENDED IT I THINK IT'S GETTING BETTER BUT I APPRECIATE THE LENGTH OF TIME IT TOOK TO NEGOTIATE.
IT TOOK A LONG TIME BUT I THINK WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE GETTING AS WE GET BETTER AT IT OUR OUR AGREEMENTS ARE GETTING BETTER. SO THANK YOU, SIR. I JUST LOST MY PAGE ON MY COMPUTER SORRY WE ARE MR. YORK OKAY. OKAY.
UM, MR. WOODS LEAVING FOR A MINUTE WE ARE MOVING ON THE FORMAL AGENDA ITEM TO CONSIDER OF AND APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE MASTER PLAN FOR MIDPOINT NEW RIVERSIDE CONSISTS IN PLUS OR -253 ACRES OF LAND LOCATED ON THE RIVERSIDE ROAD ROADS OF NEW RIVERSIDE PLAN UNIT DEVELOPMENT ON CADMAN YES MA'AM THANK YOU VERY MUCH OKAY. JUST A QUICK QUICK REMINDER THIS IS THIS AN EXISTING MASTER PLAN? THE APPLICANT PULTE HOMES
[01:05:04]
REQUESTING AN AMENDMENT TO THIS. THIS HAS COME BEFORE YOU TWO MONTHS AGO IT WAS TABLED. THERE WERE VARIOUS ITEMS THAT WERE REQUESTED TO BE ADDRESSED.THOSE WERE PROVIDED TO THE APPLICANT HERE HAVE A COPY OF THE PROPOSED MASTER PLAN.
JUST A REMINDER THE STATION WHERE THIS IS THAT'S IMMEDIATELY ACROSS FROM MAY RIVER HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN IN AN AREA OLD SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT EVERYONE IF GET ALREADY I'M SORRY NO NO NO IT'S FINE I'M JUST OKAY SORRY NOT OKAY FROM THIS ANY MAP YOU CAN SEE THE LOCATION IN THE NEW RIVERSIDE PD OF THIS PROPERTY PLANNING COMMISSION MADE A RECOMMENDATION THEIR AUGUST 24TH MEETING AND THAT WAS TO PROVIDE ONE OF THE CONDITIONS WAS TO PROVIDE AN UPDATED TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND THEN ANY CONDITIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS OR MITIGATION SHALL BE INCLUDED IN DEVELOPMENT PLANS ON OCTOBER 5TH THE APPLICANT DID PROVIDE A COPY OF THAT TRAFFIC IMPACT TO TO STAFF.
WE WERE ABLE TO INCORPORATE THAT INTO THE PRESENTATION AT THE OCTOBER 11TH TOWN COUNCIL MEETING HOW OUR STAFF DID NOT HAVE, YOU KNOW, A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO FULLY REVIEW THAT TIRE FROM THAT THAT TIME THERE WERE PROPOSE IMPROVEMENTS.
THE FIRST ONE WAS AT MIDWAY BOULEVARD AT THE ENTRANCE TO RIVER HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT WOULD BE AN EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TURN LANE GOING OUT OF MID-POINT ONTO NEW RIVERSIDE DRIVE AND THAT ON PHASE TWO THE FULL SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS ONCE THE SITE WAS FULLY OCCUPIED AND CONSIDERED INSTALLING THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ALSO FOR THAT SECOND ACCESS POINT WAS TO CONSTRUCT THE SITE WITH ONE INGRESS AND EGRESS SO ONE IN ONE OUTLET AND CONFIRMED INTERSECTION SITE THIS IS IN STOP STOPPING SITE DISTANCE SO AGAIN OCTOBER 11TH YOU HAD NUMEROUS CONCERNS QUESTIONS STAFF DID IT AT THE END OF MS THAT YOU HAD I WAS ABLE TO PUT THIS INTO AN EMAIL PROVIDED TO THE APPLICANT. THIS IS PROVIDED IN YOUR STAFF REPORTS. I'M GOING TO KIND OF GO OVER THIS RELATIVELY QUICKLY.
THE FIRST ITEM WAS TO HOLD A MEETING WITH A PLANE AS YOU CAN JUST TELL THE INDIVIDUAL THAT WAS UP HERE IT SEEMS THAT OPERATES IN IN A SATISFACTORY PLACE WITH SOME PROPOSED CONDITIONS SO MEETINGS WERE HELD AND STAFF DID ATTEND THAT THE SECOND ITEM WAS POTENTIAL CONDITIONAL APPROVAL OF THE GATE AND WHERE IT'D BE LOCATED YOU KNOW AT THE TIME THOSE CONCERNS OF THE GATE BEING LOCATED INSIDE DEVELOPMENT VERSUS AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE THE APPLICANT WAS ABLE TO TO RESPOND TO THESE QUESTIONS AND EVEN MOST RECENTLY AFTER THE POSTING OF THIS AGENDA ON THE STAFF REPORT I JUST THAT IF TOWN COUNCIL CHOOSES TO NOT ALLOW FOR A GATE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WOULD BE OF THAT CONDITION OF APPROVAL.
THE SECOND ITEM WAS TOWN COUNCIL POTENTIALLY CONDITION ANY APPROVAL OF THE REQUIREMENT THAT SECONDARY ROAD AS CONSTRUCTED FIRST PHASE AND USE AS CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE AND I WOULD JUST POINT OUT TO THE BOTTOM HERE IT SAYS THAT THIS ACCESS POINT SHALL BE CONSTRUCTED AS THE FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT AND ALL CONSTRUCTION RELATED TRAFFIC MUST BE USED AT THIS ACCESS POINT IT MAY BE USED BY MIDPOINT RESIDENTS, VISITORS AND FOR MULTIPLE CONCERNS REGARDING TRAFFIC AND TIMING OF CONSTRUCTION WORK.
I JUST PUT A STATEMENT HERE THAT DURING DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE IF THERE ARE CONCERNS WITH TIME OF CONSTRUCTION ALL MUNICIPAL CODE OF ORDINANCES REGULATIONS WOULD APPLY MEANING THAT IF SOMEONE IS WORKING OUTSIDE OF THOSE GUIDELINES THEY CALL THE POLICE PLEASE COME OUT AND TAKE CARE OF IT AT THAT POINT WHAT ARE THOSE GUIDELINES I WANT TO I WANT TO SAY 7 A.M. FOR CONSTRUCTION WORK UP UNTIL LIKE 7 P.M. DAYS IT'S A DIFFERENT TIMEFRAME AND SO THERE IS ALLOWED WORK ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY CAN YOU GO THERE? THERE IS SO WHATEVER THAT IS AND AGAIN I DON'T HAVE IT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD BUT IF SOMEONE IS WORKING OUTSIDE OF THOSE TIMEFRAMES THAT IS EXTREMELY LOUD AND CAUSING THEN YOU CALL THE POLICE. PLEASE COME OUT THERE AND ADDRESS IT.
THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO BE A CONDITION APPROVAL. IT IS 77 MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY SUNDAY. OKAY IT WAS GOOD FOR THE PLAYER TO KNOW THAT HE'S SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THE NEXT ITEM WAS COUNCIL. WE REQUIRE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRAFFIC AUTHORITY LIGHT INSTALLATION FROM SOUTH STREET PARTNERS. THEY'RE THE OWNERS THE ROAD OF NEW RIVERSIDE ROAD, COUNTY AND SO PULTE MET WITH WITH PALMETTO BLUFF REPRESENTATIVES POPLAR BLUFF FOR NEW OVERSIGHT
[01:10:09]
THEY DID NOT OBJECT TO HAVING A TRAFFIC INSTALLED AT THAT LOCATION.HOWEVER THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT MAINTAIN A TRAFFIC LIGHT AT THAT LOCATION NEXT POLICY MET WITH YOU FOR COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES AGAIN THEY HAD NO CONCERNS FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT GOING INTO THAT LOCATION. HOWEVER THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE INSTALLATION OR THE MAINTENANCE OF THAT AND THEN PULTE THEMSELVES THEY DID NOT OBJECT TO BUILDING A SIGNAL IF IT IS WARRANTED AND FOR BUILDOUT AND AT THIS TIME THE PROPOSAL BUILDOUT MIDPOINT DOES NOT WARRANT A SIGNAL BUT IT RECOMMENDS A SIGNAL ANALYSIS IN THE FUTURE. THEY EVEN WAS DISCUSSIONS OF A 50% COST SHARING FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. SO THE STAFF FINDINGS IS THAT THE CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE 38 REVIEW OF THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS DO NOT ALIGN CONCLUSIONS OF THE ORIGINAL ANALYSIS AND THE REVIEW CONCLUDED A TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS NOT WARRANTED BUT A SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT MAY PROVIDE OPERATIONS AND IMPROVED SAFETY FOR THIS INTERSECTION AND WHEN FURTHER REVIEW STATES THAT CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE INSTALLATION OF A ROUNDABOUT OR OTHER APPROPRIATE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT DURING 25 YEAR BUILD OUT CONDITION. SO AT THIS POINT WE GOT A THIRD PARTY REVIEWER TO COME IN DURING THE YEAR 2025 NOT 25 YEAR BUILDOUT I'M SORRY ABOUT I SAID IT KIND OF FAST THERE 2025 BUILD IT YEP YEP. AND THEN TOWN COUNCIL COULD POTENTIALLY CONDITIONING APPROVAL OF TRAFFIC LIGHT INSTALLED AT THE BEGINNING OF CONSTRUCTION SO STAFF WE CONTRACT AND TRAFFIC DESIGN INCORPORATED AS A THIRD PARTY REVIEWER OF THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS THAT WAS PREPARED BY KIMBERLY HORNE AND AGAIN THE OPPOSITION OF THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE REVIEW RECOMMENDED THAT THE SINGLE POTENTIALLY A SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT PROVIDE BETTER OPERATIONS AND IMPROVED SAFETY . SO IF COUNCIL WERE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS, ONE OF THE CONDITIONS THAT WOULD BE PROPOSED IS THAT PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE 201ST HOME OF THE PROPOSED 400 HOMES IN THE MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT, A NEW RIVERSIDE ROAD AND MIDPOINT BOULEVARD TRAFFIC STUDY SHALL BE PROVIDED THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON AND THE SCOPE IS TO EVALUATE THAT SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT AS AN ALTERNATIVE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT AND A TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARN ANALYSIS THAT IF A SIGNAL EXCUSE ME SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT AND TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS WARRANTED PULTE HOMES FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT WILL COORDINATE WITH NUMEROUS SIDE ASSOCIA AND BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT ON THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT AND NUMBER SEVEN WEST TOWN COUNCIL'S REQUEST THAT THE MASTER PLAN BE UPDATED INCLUDE ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONAL OPEN THE APPLICANT STATED THAT THE ORIGINAL PLAN FOR SIX PARKS TOTALING 6.6 ACRES THEY ARE PROPOSING TO HAVE 6.9 ACRES OF ACTIVE OPEN SPACE AN ADDITIONAL OPEN SPACE TO PROVIDE FOR THAT OFF STREET PARKING THAT WE'VE REFERRED TO AS WELL AS PLATE PICNIC CHAIRS STAFF FINDS THAT WHILE THE APPLICANT ADEQUATELY RESPONDED TO THE COMMENT RECOMMENDS THAT THESE ADDITIONAL SPACES WERE PROVIDED ON THE PLAN THAT THEY ARE PROGRAMED AS FUNCTIONAL OPEN SPACE AS OPPOSED TO UNDISTURBED OPEN SPACE. THE DIFFERENCE IN THAT IS UNDISTURBED OPEN SPACE MEANS THAT DURING CONSTRUCTION THEY JUST CARVE THE AREA OUT AND DON'T TOUCH IT SO JUST IT COULD BE FULL OF YOU KNOW, JUST SHRUB BRUSH COULD BE FULL OF YOU KNOW, ANYTHING THAT YOU KNOW DOESN'T MAKE IT CONDUCIVE FOR ANY ANY KIDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY USE THE SPACE. SO WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS IF YOU DO HAVE THESE AREAS AS SHOWN ON THE PLANS THAT THAT ANY TREES IN THOSE AREAS ARE SAVED A SIGNIFICANT BUT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING FUNCTIONAL IN THAT SPACE SO IT MIGHT BE YOU KNOW, A MANNEQUIN MIGHT BE AN AREA FOR PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO USE YOU KNOW, TALKING ABOUT THE PICNICKING OR YOU KNOW, KIDS HAVING A PLACE TO TO PLAY TROPHIES, THE KICKBALL, YOU KNOW, YOU NAME IT THAT'S THE INTENT AS OPPOSED TO JUST LEAVING IT AS UNDISTURBED AREA NUMBER EIGHT IS THAT TOWN COUNCIL REQUESTS THE UPDATED TREE AND TOKYO MAP IS PROVIDED SHOWING THE TREES TO BE SAVED. THEY DID PROVIDE IN YOUR PACKAGE HOPEFULLY EVERYONE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THAT. WE'VE SAID THAT THEY'VE RESPONDED THIS COMMENT AND THAT DURING ANY DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW PROCESS WE WOULD ENSURE THAT THOSE SIGNIFICANT AND PRIORITY TREES WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED ARE PRESERVED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT AND IF THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL TREES DURING THAT THAT WE FIND THAT COULD BE SAVED WE WILL TRY TO DO THAT AS
[01:15:02]
WELL. NUMBER NINE IS THAT THEY POTENTIAL CONDITIONAL APPROVAL WITH THE REQUIREMENT OF ANY ORDER TO USE THAT ARE NOT USED OR TRANSFERRED BACK TO THE TOWN AGAIN POLICY DOES NOT OWN THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS DO NOT OWN THE UNITS AT THIS TIME.ONCE THEY PURCHASE THE LAND THEY PURCHASE THE UNITS FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER SO THEY WOULD HAVE AN ALLOTMENT AND ANY ADDITIONAL UNITS THAT THAT PROPERTY OWNER HAS IS THERE.
SO IT'S PRIVATE. THEY ONLY GET WHAT THEY NEED AGAIN THAT TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS REVIEW THAT WE THAT WAS IN THE ANALYSIS INITIAL EXCUSE ME CURRENT PEAK HOUR FOR MIDPOINT IS APPROACHING THE FAILING LEVEL OF F SO IF YOU THINK OF GRADE SCHOOL A THROUGH F THEY HAVE AN F WITH A 178 FOOT QUEUE AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT DURING THAT PEAK HOUR THERE ARE TEN VEHICLES THAT ARE CONSISTENTLY WAITING TO LEAVE MIDPOINT IN THE MORNING TO GET OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD DURING A 25, 20, 25 YEAR BUILD. IT'S EXPECTED THAT THAT DELAY WOULD INCREASE AND EXCEED 60 SECONDS FOR MIDPOINT RESIDENTS. WHAT THAT MEANS THAT THERE WOULD BE A FIVE MINUTE DELAY FOR RESIDENTS TO BE TO LEAVE THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE OF THE TRAFFIC BOTH BEING FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL AS TRAFFIC THAT'S ON NEW RIVERSIDE NOW WITH PROPOSED SIGNAL INSTALLED IT WOULD GO TO A LEVEL E WHICH IS STILL FAILING AT A BUILD YEAR OF 2028 BUT IT WOULD THEN BE ANTICIPATED THAT THAT DELAY WOULD ONLY BE 102 SECONDS. SO IF THERE WAS A TRAFFIC LIGHT THERE.
THAT MEANS THAT THE RESIDENTS WOULD ONLY HAVE TO A MINUTE AND A HALF TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE THEIR SITE SO. THAT WAS THE ANALYSIS THE THAT WE HIRED THAT CAME UP WITH THE RECOMMENDATION WHICH SAYS NO ALTERNATIVE INTERSECTIONS HAVE BEEN ANALYZED OR CONSIDERED FOR MITIGATION OF THE OVERSIGHT CONSIDERING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE RIGHT OF A SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT MAY PROVIDE A BETTER OPERATIONS, IMPROVED SAFETY OF THE INTERSECTION AND ANY IMPROVEMENTS THE ACCESS ONE SHOULD CONFORM TO THE CDOT ARMS MANUAL THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON YOUDO AND THEN FOR ACCESS NUMBER TWO THAT'S THAT SECOND ACCESS THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING NO TURN LANES ARE RECOMMENDED OR WARRANTED THERE ARE CONCERNS OF THE ACCESS OF THERE ARE CONCERNS WHETHER THIS ACCESS WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT A SUBSTANTIAL VOLUME OF TRAFFIC APPEARS TO HAVE A COUPLE OF SHARP TERMS TERMS SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THIS ACCESS POINT BE PLANNED SO AS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE 25% OF THE SITE TRAFFIC AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO JUST BE REALIGNED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T CAUSE ANY TURNS AS IT'S ENTERING THE SITE AND THAT IT MEETS ALL THE SITE DISTANCE TRIANGLES AND AGAIN, JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF LOCATIONS JUST PROVIDED HIGHLIGHTED HERE IS THE MAIN ENTRANCE OF MIDPOINT BOULEVARD AND IN THAT PROPOSED SECTION SO WITH THAT I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE APPLICANT IS HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AND THEN AS MOVE FORWARD I DO HAVE A PROPOSED MOTION AND I CAN BRING THAT UP AT THAT TIME AND I THINK THAT'S A GOOD PICTURE TO LEAVE THE QUESTIONS START THIS ONE.
YES MA'AM. SOME CLARITY YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY SAID THIS BUT JUST FOR CLARITY FOR ME. SO A POTENTIAL ROUNDABOUT DOES NOT DOES OR DOES NOT TAKE CONSIDERATION THE FUTURE OF SCHOOLS? NO, IT TAKES ACCOUNT THE TRAFFIC THAT IS BEING PROPOSED FROM MIDPOINT AND THE CURRENT SO WE WE NOT UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT EITHER THE TRAFFIC LIGHT OR THE POTENTIAL ROUNDABOUT, THE FUTURE WITH THE ADDITIONAL SCHOOL TRAFFIC THAT WILL BE PLACED UPON IT. I WOULD I WOULD LIKE FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND ALSO THAT ANY FUTURE SCHOOL WOULD NOT NECESSARILY USE THAT SAME ENTRANCE SO THEY MAY HAVE OWN ENTRANCE OFF A NEW RIVERSIDE FURTHER DOWN BUT THEY WILL STILL GO THROUGH THIS CIRCLE. YES, SIR. WHAT THERE'S STILL AN IMPACT THERE THAT NONE OF US UNDERSTAND THE MAGNITUDE OF IT AT THIS POINT.
YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. THE OTHER PART REGARDING THE GENERAL TRAFFIC LIGHT IF IT'S WARRANTED INSTEAD OF THE ROUNDABOUT AS IT SAID IN YOUR
[01:20:06]
STAFF REPORT. TO OUR KNOWLEDGE, ALL OF THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS IN COUNTY OPERATED BY THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA OR IF COUNTY AND WHILE THE PARTIES AGREED TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT WHO WOULD MAINTAIN AND TRAFFIC THAT IS THE QUESTION I DO NOT HAVE ANSWER FOR THAT.I BRING THESE TWO QUESTIONS OBVIOUSLY OBVIOUS REASONS THERE WE DON'T UNDERSTAND THE OUTCOME OF THIS WHEN THE SCHOOLS CORRECT AT ALL. YES, MA'AM.
THANK YOU, MR. HAMILTON GENERAL, WHO WOULD HAVE ANSWERED YOU DON'T HAVE THEM THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE WHO WOULD HAVE THE ANSWER TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AGAIN THE FACT THAT IT IS A PRIVATE OWNED BY ONE ENTITY, ANOTHER ENTITY THAT MAY REQUIRED TO INSTALL A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON THAT ROAD AND THEN YOU HAVE A PUBLIC USE THAT IS USING IT BUT THEY ALSO STATED THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT IN THE IN THE BUSINESS FOR FOR MAINTAINING THAT AT THAT POINT I'M NOT SURE WHO WHO WOULD BEAR THAT RESPONSIBILITY. I'M I'M NOT SURE I HAVE SAID IT MUCH BETTER THAN KEVIN WITH A PRIVATE ROAD STATE OR A COUNTY ROAD, YOU COULD TELL YOU SPECIFICALLY WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. BUT RIGHT NOW WITH THE SCHOOL BEING A CONCEPT, MAYBE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS THAT'S BEEN DONE DID FEEL THAT THEY NEEDED TO PUT THAT DATA INTO THEIR ANALYSIS FORMS. THAT'S WHY I THINK KEVIN HAS PERHAPS IN HIS PROPOSED MOTION THAT WE DEMAND A SECOND TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AT ABOUT THE 200 BUILDING PERMIT. AGAIN TO LOOK AT IT, SEE WHERE THE SCHOOL IS AT THAT POINT IN TIME, SEE WHAT NEEDS TO WHAT IS REQUIRED TO TRY AND ANTICIPATE . WE'RE NOT CERTAIN WHAT THE SCHOOL WILL DO.
WE'VE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE THAT THEY MAY BE COMING ON SOME OTHER PLACE NOT AT THIS.
SO I WISH I COULD TELL YOU BETTER BUT IN PRIVATE ROADS IT'S MUCH MORE DIFFICULT BUT ALSO MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAKE A DECISION, YOU KNOW, FOR IF WE APPROVE SOMETHING AND THEN THERE'S APPROVALS WE APPROVE NEW WITHOUT KNOWING THE IMPACT OF TRAFFIC.
EVEN IF YOU DID A TRAFFIC ANALYSIS THERE ONE IS STILL GOING TO GIVE US A LABEL ON IN THE PROPOSED IS TO HAVE A SECOND TRAFFIC ANALYSIS AT SOME POINT NOT REAL BIG DISTANT FUTURE THEN PROBABLY A YEAR MAYBE TWO YEARS OUT AND WHATEVER THAT AND AT THAT POINT IN TIME THOSE IMPROVEMENTS MUST BE EITHER DONE OR THE FUNDING MUST BE ESCROWED SO THEY CAN GET DONE. AND SO THAT IS A CONCEPT THAT KEVIN AND I HAVE WORKED ON A LITTLE BIT TO TRY TO TO TRY TO ANTICIPATE A FUTURE TRAFFIC ISSUE AND MAKE SURE THAT THERE ARE SUFFICIENT FUNDS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT AT THAT POINT. AND THEN THE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER FORGET TO NAME FROM SEA LEVEL ANSWER THE QUESTION DO YOU WANT TO ANSWER THAT? HOW OKAY FROM YEAH ABSOLUTELY. AND AGAIN THANK YOU AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS SO AGAIN PULTE IS AND WE'VE GOT IN THIS CONVERSATION A COUPLE OF TIMES YOU KNOW OF COURSE WITH THE DISTANT FUTURE THAT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE AND IS PART OF THAT CONVERSATION THE REASON HAD IT WITH NEW RIVERSIDE AS WELL AS THE COUNTY SCHOOLS AND SOME OF THOSE ANSWERS FOR YOU KNOW OF WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK ME FOR COUNTY SCHOOL AND I WAS IN A MEETING WITH US THAT SAID WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR THAT THEY WILL THEY WILL HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT OUR EXPANDED CAMPUS IS GOING TO BE LOOKING LIKE AT THAT POINT IN TIME.
THEY'LL ALSO BE REQUIRED TO HAVE A TRAFFIC STUDY DONE AS WELL.
SO IN THE INTERIM PERIOD THEY ARE WE ARE OPEN TO CONTINUE TO LIKE THEY LIKE THEY SAY AT IT TO TO REVIEW THAT TRAFFIC PROVIDE THESE ANALYSIS WE'RE EVEN A POINT WHERE WE CAN COME UP WITH A COST SHARE AGREEMENT WHERE WE PUT THE MONEY INTO ACCOUNT SO YOU KNOW THAT YOU DO
[01:25:01]
HAVE IT THERE EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE SAYING SO THE PARTY IS IS ALL FOR WITH THE TOWN TO TRY TO MITIGATE WHATEVER YOU WHATEVER THEY CAN COME UP WITH WHETHER IT'S A ROUNDABOUT OR ACTUALLY A SIGNAL AND COME UP WITH THAT SOLUTION. I PERSONALLY THINK THAT TRAFFIC SO YOU KNOW WITH THE COUNTY SCHOOL THEY PROBABLY HAVE A BETTER OPPORTUNITY GETTING FOR COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AT THAT PAUL AT THAT POINT TO MAYBE OVERSEE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL YOU KNOW, AT A FURTHER DATE DOWN THE ROAD. BUT PULTE IS TO PUT THEIR SHARE INTO THAT INTO THAT FUND IS YOUR SHARE WHICH IS THAT YOU WOULD WOULDN'T MIND PUTTING INTO THE POOL IS THE CONSTRUCT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON TO MAINTAIN AND SEE THIS VERY QUESTION SO WHAT PULTE IS WILLING TO DO WHICH IS HUGE VALUE PULTE WILL HELP PUT THE BUDGET TOGETHER FOR PULTE WILL HELP OVERSEE THE CONSTRUCTION OF IT IF IT'S SO NEEDED.WE'LL HELP GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS OF IT BECAUSE WE DO UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW WE'RE TRYING TO GET THOSE TYPES OF THINGS INSTALLED. SO YES, PULTE BE ABLE TO TO HELP MITIGATE THAT AND HANDLE THAT NOT MAINTAIN INHUMANE BUT THE MAINTENANCE OF A THERE'S NO PRIVATE ENTITY THAT MAINTAINS TRAFFIC SIGNALS IT'S ASIAN OR SO YOU WOULD NEED OBVIOUSLY EVENTUALLY IT WILL BE EVENTUALLY WILL BE GONE AT SOME POINT THAT'S THE REASON THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO PUT THE FUNDING IN PLACE SOME OF THOSE WILL HAVE TO MAINTAIN WILL HELP GET IT THERE BUT YOU KNOW WHETHER IT BE FOUR COUNTIES AT THAT POINT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO MAKE MAY I HAVE A QUESTION MORE ON IS TO COUNCIL IS THIS NO DIFFERENT OR SIMILAR TO WHAT TRANSPIRED WITH NINE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY IN A SENSE OF THE WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PROJECTIONS OF THE FUTURE AND EITHER THAT SCHOOL COMING IN BUT THE SCHOOL WILL BE REQUIRED AT SOME POINT TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES OF HOW IT'S GOING TO IMPACT THE TRAFFIC AS WELL INSTEAD OF THE BURDEN SOLELY BEING PLACED BEING PLACED ON THE PRIVATE ENTITY WHO'S ALSO GOING TO BE IMPACTING THE AREA THAT DIFFERENCE IS ON A PUBLIC ROAD VERSUS A PRIVATE I THINK I THINK THAT IS THE CRUX OF IT THIS IS A PRIVATE ROAD AND I HATE THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THE ROAD LEFT. I WISH THEY WOULD SAY THIS WAS IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO LISTEN TO BUT THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I SEE AS A DIFFERENCE AND. YES.
SIMILAR TO THAT SIMILAR TO SEACREST STATION WHERE THEY PUT MONEY IN BUT THAT WAS A PUBLIC ROAD THAT'S A DIFFERENT ITEM JUST ONE ON THAT SAME. YEAH, RIGHT.
IT'S GOING TO GO BACK TO THE FRENCH QUESTION BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF MINE I HEARD WHAT YOU SAID PULTE IS MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP WHO THIS I LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS AT HAND HOW MANY DOLLARS DOES HE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? IS IT THE DESIGN AND THE ENGINEERING OF IT OR IS IT YOU KNOW I MEAN IF IT COST $300,000 BUT WHY AND IS ALL TOO WILLING TO PAY HALF OF IT OR QUARTERS OR ALL OF IT? ABSOLUTELY.
YOU KNOW THAT IS WHAT YOU SAID. I LIKE WHAT YOU SAID. I JUST WANT TO ABSOLUTELY.
AND THAT'S COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE. YES.
40 IS WELL AND WE HAD LIKE I SAID WHEN WE HAD THIS CONVERSATION WITH THE COUNTY, WE'RE WILLING TO PAY 50%, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S A SIN IF A GOOD PORTION OF THAT SIGNAL YOU KNOW WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO BE PUT IN. SO YOU KNOW, AGAIN ENGINEERING THAT'S A HUGE BURDEN THAT KNOW AS OF RIGHT NOW SOME MIDPOINT THAT'S GOING TO BE DRIVEN IT RIGHT EVENTUALLY BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE THE SCHOOL THAT EVENTUALLY WHAT'S GOING BE THE TRAFFIC TO THAT AREA WILL BE A HUGE BURDEN THAT WILL BE ABLE TO HELP TAKE THE SCHOOL AND BE ABLE TO PAY OUR SHARE THAT ANYTHING ELSE? MR. PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. I KNOW YOU ASKED A QUESTION BEFORE THIS.
KEVIN , I ARE GOING TO MAKE YOUR CALLS ON I KNOW JUST WHAT YOU MENTIONED.
I GOT A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS SO LET ME GET TO THIS THE BUFFER FACTOR IS LET ME THAT IS THE NEW ORDINANCE THAT WE PASSED AFTER A NEW RIVERSIDE VILLAGE WAS APPROVED.
IS THIS THOSE SAME. YES, MA'AM. THREE COUNTS.
SO. YES, MA'AM. I KNOW IT'S NOT REAL I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REAL BUT THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT BUFFERS IN BETWEEN THE TWO COMMUNITIES. SO ARE THOSE TREES GOING STAY THERE UNDISTURBED? YES. AND UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT THE BEST OF IMAGES BUT THERE ARE TREES ON I WE'LL CALL IT THE NORTHERN SIDE OF MIDPOINT THE BOULEVARD AND THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF MIDPOINT BOWL BOULEVARD. IT'S A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
WHAT IS THAT DART LINE? SO THIS IS THE ROAD RIGHT HERE. OKAY.
[01:30:01]
THIS THIS ENTIRE AREA WAS ACTUALLY CLEARED AT ONE POINT ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO TEN OR 15 YEARS AGO. SO THIS IS NEW THIS IS JUST NEW GROWTH OVER TIME.BUT THE TREES THAT THE PEOPLE ARE REFERRING TO IS THE LARGE SIZE OF THE CURSOR.
THE TREES ARE HERE AND HERE AND BASED OFF OF THE PROPOSED MATCH PLAN DISCUSSIONS WITH THE APPLICANT, THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT TOUCHING THOSE TREES AND DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING PROCESS WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THOSE TREES ARE A TREE SAME AS PUT AROUND THEM AND THEY'RE NOT TOUCHED AND HOW MANY FEET IS THAT IN DEPTH? I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S ON MY HEAD ANYWHERE BETWEEN 80 TO 200 FEET. I MEAN IT'S SO IT'S A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TREES IN THAT AREA. SO NOT LIKE LANDINGS AND NEW RIVERSIDE BUILDING, NOT LIKE 25 FEET OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF TREES AND I BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE ALL PLANTED PINES AT THAT LOCATION.
SO IT IS IT'S THICK GROWTH THROUGH THAT AREA AND I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE CONCERNS IS THEY ASKED FOR THE NO UNDERBRUSH JUST TO KEEP THAT. SO WE WE DICTATE THAT WE YES.
WE MAKE SURE THAT FENCES ARE UP. YES, MA'AM IN BETWEEN ESPECIALLY WERE NEIGHBORS ON THEIR MASTER PLANS. I'M SURE THOSE NEIGHBORS SAW TREES BEHIND THEM NOT 200 ACRES OF TREES BUT REPRESENTED. YOU CAN SEE THE AREA HERE.
I MEAN GRANITE THIS IS JUST A A GRAPHIC BUT IT'S AT A FEW HUNDRED FEET.
I DON'T KNOW. IT HAS TO WORK WELL. YES, I'M GLAD KEVIN FINISHING UP SO YOU KNOW AGAIN IS THAT 200 FEET? I MEAN I'M TO LET THE ENGINEER SO YOU SEE WHERE WE'RE GOING AND JUST FOLLOW THE RED DOTTED LINE AT THE TOP AND THEN JOT DOWN BECAUSE YOU HAVE I GUESS THAT'S THE HAYMAN ON THE OTHER SIDE.
YEAH. SO YES MA'AM AND AGAIN WE WANT TO BRING TO THE TO THE COUNTY THE ORIGINAL PLAN THAT WAS APPROVED SHOWED THE BACK AND ALL THE WAY, YOU KNOW, BUFFER AREAS WHATSOEVER NO TREE SAVES ANYTHING. SO WITH THE NEW PLAN WE ACTUALLY EXTENDED BUFFER AREA FOR THEM AND WENT BACK AND DECIDED TO KEEP THE TREES SO SO THAT WAS THERE ALONG WITH THE THE GO AHEAD ALONG WITH THE TREES ALONG THE HAYMAN AREA ONCE YOU KNOW THAT WAS A SELF-IMPOSED BUFFER THAT WE'RE PLACING BACK ALONG THAT SPACE AS WELL. SO TO THE MENTIONED QUESTION, I DON'T OF TOP OF MY HEAD I KNOW BUT I WOULD I WOULD VENTURE IN THE MORE 20 TO 60 FOOT RANGE NOT TO IT.
HOWEVER THE PINCH POINT IS DOWN HERE IF YOU EVER SEE THAT CURSOR AND THAT'S NEXT TO OPEN SPACE IT'S NOT NEXT ANYWAY. AND TO ELABORATE ON THE TREES SO THIS AREA WAS PREVIOUSLY CLEARED DURING A PHASE ONE DEVELOPMENT SO THIS IS A NATURAL WORK VOLUNTEER PINE THICKET IS WHAT I CALL IT. IT'S A BUNCH OF TIGHTLY SPACED SMALL PINE TREES AND I BELIEVE PULTE EVEN OFFERED TO CLEAR IT AND PUT A BERM THERE BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT THAT.
THEY WANT TO KEEP THE THEY WANT TO KEEP THE SCRUB PINES I'LL CALL THEM AND THAT'S THE INTENT IS SO WE'RE GOING TO PULL THE GRATING TO THE BACK A LOT AND ONLY CLEARED FOR THE LOTS AND PLUS A LITTLE BIT MORE TO GET SOME DRAINAGE BACK THERE AND THAT'S THE INTENT IS TO MAINTAIN IN MERIT YOU LOOK AT THIS AS IF THEY'RE ON THE TOP SECTION WHERE THEY ARE WHERE THE RED LINE IS AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT THERE IS A BETWEEN THE HAVEN AND AND THE BACKLOT THERE WE ACTUALLY PUT A 50 FOOT SELF-IMPOSED BUFFER IN THAT SPACE SO THAT THAT MIGHT GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF AN IDEA COMPARED YOU KNOW SEEING WHAT THAT 50 FEET IS COMPARED TO WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE. YOU GOT TO WANT TO BE YOU SEE THIS MOVIE BEING YOU TO THE RIGHT AND YOU SEE THE DOTTED BLUE LINE OH I'M ELECTRIFIED. BUT THAT DOTTED PROPERTY LINE IS 50 FEET TO THE YELLOW. SO YOU SEE THE RED LINE HERE. I SEE THE RED LINE THAT YOU SEE THE DIALOG RIGHT THERE THAT'S ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE 50 FEET FROM THE RED LINE TO THE DOTTED LINE RED LINE TO THE WHAT I WOULD CALL THE PROPERTY LINE. THE RED LINE IS THE DOTTED LINE THAT'S 50 FEET. SO IF YOU WERE TO KIND OF MEASURE THAT AMOUNT YOU SEE RIGHT ABOUT 20 OR 25 OF THE UP AND DOWN PART LOOKS LIKE. SO MY QUESTION THAT THE TREES THAT ARE IN THERE NOW ARE PART OF A TREE ORDINANCE AND YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE TOTALLY SCRAPED OFF YES AND NO CLEARING NO UNDERBRUSH, NO NOTHING.
ANOTHER QUESTION I DON'T WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOMES CAN BE BUILT THERE.
WE KNOW THEY HAVE FOR SOME SOME SAY 400. WE KNOW THAT SOMEONE GETTING
[01:35:04]
400. SO MY QUESTION ON YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE CIA HOW DO WE KNOW THE 201 IS AN ALL THE HOME? YOU KNOW, WE DON'T KNOW THAT. SO WOULD SUGGEST 50% BUILD OUT AND 75% BUILD OUT BECAUSE THEY MAY ONLY BUILD 300 WITH OUR STORMWATER WHERE ALL THE ORDINANCE THAT WE STAND BY I DON'T REALLY KNOW THAT MANY IT CAN BE BUILT THERE IF YOU AT TIME OF OF MAKING A MOTION WHERE IT SAYS THAT 200 NUMBER YOU COULD EASILY JUST INTERCHANGE THAT WITH 50% AND OR 75% SO. AND THEN FINALLY CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE AERIAL THE ACTUAL TREES AND POINT OAK GROVE SO THAT IT COULD LOOK GOOD IN THERE AND I JUST WANT TO ASK THIS BECAUSE ONE OF THE WAY THAT IT SPOKE TO THE BACK TO THE LOOK THERE THERE SEEMS TO A SPACE THAT WAS OF CONCERN THAT A HOUSE COULD BE BUILT THERE.HAS IT BEEN CLEARED OUT ALREADY? IS IT PART OF THAT? OH GOOD. AND THEN YOU GO BACK TO THAT OTHER SHOT.
NOW I JUST WANT TO SAY HERE I'LL SHOW YOU THAT RIGHT UP HERE.
YEAH THESE HOUSES RIGHT HERE THEY THEY PART OF THEM THEY PART OF THE 400.
YES, MA'AM. OKAY. AND I WILL ADDRESS THAT WILL BE WHERE THAT IS WHERE WE'RE PUTTING OUR MODELS YOUR MODEL THAT'S GOING TO BE AND THAT IS PART OF YOUR NUMBER OF UNITS. OKAY. OKAY.
AND I'M SURE YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED TO SAY, YOU KNOW, IN REGARDING TO THE PSA, YOU KNOW, AGAIN YOU KNOW, LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE ON HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE WAY WE MET AND WE REMEMBER THAT WE DID AN AGREEMENT IN PLACE AND BE IN THAT AGREEMENT THAT THAT WE'VE SAID OVER TIME WE HAVE DISCUSSED AND WANTED TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CLEAR THAT WE HEARD THEM YOU KNOW, WE'RE DONE. WE'RE GOING TO DO OUR BEST TO MITIGATE ANY OF THE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AND THINGS LIKE THAT FROM TO PUT INTO AGREEMENTS.
WE ALSO ARE TAKING THE BURDEN OUT OF MIDPOINT BOULEVARD AND WE TALKED ABOUT AND I THINK THIS A REQUEST MAKING IT FEEL LIKE ONE COMMUNITY WHICH WE DONE THAT BY AGAIN AGAIN A LOT OF THAT STUFF IN THERE TO TRY TO MAKE THEM OPEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO JOIN THE AMENITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT SO SO WE WANT TO BE GOOD PARTNERS WITH OUR NEIGHBORS AS WELL WITH WITH THE TOWN AND AND AGAIN AS FAR AS THE EXISTING GATE I MEAN THAT'S CONVERSATION IF THEY'RE TALKING THAT THEY DON'T WANT A GATE THERE THEN THAT'S A CONVERSATION.
I THINK THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD I PRESENTED A PACKAGE AND I'VE I'VE LEFT 11 WE MET BACK IN OCTOBER I PRESENTED IN PACKAGE TO THEM NOVEMBER THIRD I HAVE SENT A LETTER AN EMAIL EMAILS MULTIPLE AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAD HEARD ABOUT THE NAVIGATOR THIS EVENING AND SOME OF THESE OTHER THINGS I RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE THIS MORNING THAT SAID HEY I'M OUT OF THE COUNTRY AFTER FOLLOWED UP TRYING TO FIND THAT.
SO WE HAVEN'T GONE ABOVE BEYOND TO REALLY TRY TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO COME UP WITH THAT WORK WELL FOR THE COMMUNITIES THIS VISIT SHOW ME WHERE YOU THINK IT WOULD BE SOMEWHAT WELL RIGHT HERE IN THE VERY SAID OKAY GOT IT RIGHT HERE IN THE FRONT OF THE COMMUNITY SO IT'S NOT HAVE A GATE THERE MEANS THAT EXISTING MINUTE POINT RESIDENTS WOULD HAVE TO COME THROUGH THE GATE EXISTING THAT SORT OF THING MID-POINT RESIDENT WOULD HAVE TO USE THAT GATE YES. OR THEY IF THEY TO COME THROUGH YES I SHOULD KEEP BECAUSE I THINK THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT KIND OF BRINGING THE GATE TO THE FRONT SO WE CAN KEEP EVERYONE COMMUNITY ALL BEHIND SO THAT WAS THE PROPOSAL WAS TO PUT THAT THAT GATE IN THE FRONT SO THEY WOULD HAVE IT WOULD BE ALL IN ONE COMMUNITY. WE ALSO THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP WITH WE ALSO HEARD THAT YOU KNOW, SCHOOL TRAFFIC PEOPLE PARKING OVER THERE THAT MIGHT HELP WITH SOME OF THAT AS WELL . YEAH, SURE.
OKAY SO THE POLLING RESERVATION THESE ACTUALLY THE RESERVATION AS FAR AS THESE FOR SPECIFICALLY HAVING A GAME INSTALLED, IT MEANS THAT ACTUALLY THEY'RE COUNTIES HAVE TO PAYING FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF THE GATE AND THE INSTALLATION OF THE GATE.
WE'RE PAYING FOR ALL OF THAT AND WE WERE ACTUALLY ONE USER OF THE COST OF THE GATE THROUGH THE COMPLETE BUILDOUT OF A MIDPOINT. SO BASICALLY IN THE FRONT RESIDENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE BENEFIT OF OF HAVING THE GATE THERE AND I THINK YET YOU CAN
[01:40:03]
UNDERSTAND ALSO THE LENGTH NOW WHEN THEY GET A I GOT TO GET THEM AND KEEP EVERYONE IN THEIR LANE FRIEND OR JUST WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION YOUR QUESTION IS TRYING TO YOU UNDERSTAND BRIDGET I THINK HE ANSWERED THE QUESTION WHAT THINKING IS MY QUESTION? WELL WILL THE EXISTING BASE ONE OF RESIDENTS BE REQUIRED TO GET AN ADDITIONAL FEE BECAUSE THERE'S A GATE WON'T BE THERE FOR THE BRIDGING THESE IS SORT OF THANK YOU TRAFFIC COORDINATOR OKAY YEAH I LEARNED A LOT I DON'T KNOW WE NEED TO DO THAT RIGHT WELL THEY CORRECT ME OR HELP ME HERE STAY ON THE STAND SO THE VARIOUS CONVERSATIONS IN THE BEGINNING THE GATE WAS GOING TO BE BEHIND THIS SECTION AND IT WAS GOING TO BE A SEPARATE COMMUNITY ACTUALLY TWO SEPARATE COMMUNITIES THEN AS THE CONVERSATIONS TOOK PLACE AND CAN HELP ME THIS THE CONVERSATIONS TOOK PLACE ORIGINALLY WITH PROPERTY OWNERS IS THEY DIDN'T WANT THAT SO THE CONVERSATION EVOLVED FROM HAVING A GATE BEHIND THE PROPERTY TO MAINTAIN THE GATE TO THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY AND THAT WHERE WE ENDED UP AND SO THIS NEW REQUEST IS NEW ME I THINK ALL OF US AS WELL AS ANYBODY.IS THAT A FAIR ASSESSMENT? KEVIN YES SIR. THANK YOU.
I SHOULDN'T BRIDGE A QUESTION, LARRY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I'VE ALWAYS I MEAN I'VE HEARD FROM RESIDENTS THEY DON'T WANT GATES WHICH THANK YOU I DON'T LIVE BEHIND GATE A NEIGHBORHOOD I LOVE THAT ABILITY SO I THINK YOU'RE GONE.
THERE IS A MAINTENANCE QUESTION . YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT PALMETTO BLUFF HERE BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF HARD WORK AND FAMILIES AND RETIREES THAT ALREADY LIVE HERE THAT ARE SEEING THEIR COMMUNITY TRIPLES.
SO THE REAL QUESTION WOULD COME ON I GUESS BEFORE WE MOVE ON KEVIN I'M STEPPING BACK.
WHERE DO YOU SEE THE FUTURE CONNECTION? THE COUNTY SYSTEM IS STAFF GOING TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S SOME ACCESS TO THAT CONNECTION? WHEN YOU GO TO LOOK AT LAYOUT OF LOTS AND THINGS OR SHOULD WE NOT HAVE SOME THAT SHOWS IT'S ALL ON YOU ONCE WE PASS IT OR SHOULD WE ENSURE THAT'S AN EMOTION BECAUSE THAT JUST CUTS OFF THE TRAIL SYSTEM FOR THIS NEIGHBORHOOD? NO, THERE IS A TRAIL MAP THAT'S OF THE PART OF THE CITY AND ALSO THERE IS A WE HAVE AN EXHIBIT SHOWING THAT TRAIL LOCATION DURING THE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING PROCESS IS WHEN WE WOULD ENSURE THAT TRAIL AREA IS PROVIDED AND THEN THE LOCATION WHERE IT CONNECTS IN WOULD BE PROVIDED AS WELL AND IT COULD BE THE BUFFERS BECAUSE WE'RE KEEPING THE TREES SO WE'RE WHERE DO YOU SEE IT GOING BE A IT'S A WALKING TRAIL SO ANY ANY IMPACT WOULD BE TEN FEET WIDE OF AN AREA TO ENSURE THAT A TRAIL COULD COULD GO THROUGH OKAY AS OPPOSED TO CUTTING THIS ROAD TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS I'VE BEEN IN WHERE THE TRAILS BEHIND THE HOUSES AND I THINK IT UPSETS YOU'RE GOING TO UPSET EXISTING NEIGHBORS THEN YOU HAVE NEW NEIGHBORS SO IT JUST NEEDS TO BE ON THERE. I JUST DON'T WANT TO CUT OFF THAT TRAIL BECAUSE THAT'S SOMETHING FOR THE FUTURE. THE 800 ACRE AND AGAIN IT IS IT IS SHOWN THERE IS TRAIL EXHIBIT THAT'S PROVIDED IN THE PACKET. I DON'T HAVE IT IN THIS PRESENTATION BUT IT DOES SHOW A PATH AND THE LOCATION THE PATH. OKAY ANYTHING ELSE MAYOR IF I MAY I THINK IN THE EMAIL THAT RECEIVED IN THE LAST 2448 HOURS SOMEONE PURPORTEDLY ON BEHALF OF THE POWAY IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE FIRE IS CURRENTLY OPPOSED TO A GATE LOG INDICATES THAT THAT'S THE FIRST HE'S HEARD OF OF THAT OPPOSITION.
THE BUT CERTAINLY WE DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL WITHIN THE LAST 24 HOURS WELL WE WERE GOING TO MAKE SOME MOTION MONTH NO GATE FOLLOWED EN ROUTE ON YOUR TRACK FOR US TO CONSIDER SOMEWHERE WE KNEW THERE WAS THEY WEREN'T THRILLED ABOUT A GATE WE HAD BUILT AND WE HAD A REPRESENTATIVE THAT READ THE PUBLIC COMMENT AND ABSOLUTELY FOR NOT WANTING THE GATES GATES THE BAD PEOPLE PERSONALLY I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GATES BUT IF THEY DON'T WANT A GATE THEIR SOLE IF I COULD I DO HAVE SOME PROPOSED CONDITIONS THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO NUMBER THREE AND WHAT I HAVE LISTED IS PRIOR TO THAT FUNDAMENTAL APPROVAL
[01:45:01]
OF THE MARTIAL ART AMENDMENT THEY WOULD REMOVE ANY AND ANY INDICATION A GATE IN THE COMMUNITY. SO BEFORE I STAMP THOSE PLANS APPROVED THEY WOULD UPDATE THE PLANS REMOVE OR REMOVE ANY INDICATION OF A GATE AND THEN THAT WAY IS GONE AND THEN THAT WAY WHATEVER'S IN THE BOOKS WILL SHOW WITH NO GATE. OKAY THEN IF THAT MEANS THAT THE FRONT GATE GOES AWAY, EVACUATE. YEAH THERE'S NO GATES AND ON YOUR MOTION IT ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION, THE ACCESS POINT SPECIFICALLY IT'S ALL CONSTRUCTION RELATED TRAFFIC SO THEY WOULD NOT USING THAT MAIN ROAD.YES MA'AM SO YOU'RE THAT'S NUMBER TWO. YES, MA'AM.
AND THEN I THINK WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL OF 201 AND 301 WHEN WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY HOMES CAN BE ON THAT YOU CAN YOU CAN EASILY IF YOU IN A MOTION CHANGED YES MA'AM AND WE WOULD HAVE TO HEAVILY MAKE SURE THAT ANY LETTERS THAT GO OUT IT SPECIFICALLY STATE THAT AND POSSIBLY DEFINITION THE AMOUNT OF CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE LIGHT WHETHER IT'S A PERCENTAGE OR AN AMOUNT OF MONEY OR WHATEVER JUST SOME KIND OF COMMITMENT THAT'S IN WRITING AND NOT YES SIR. JUST VERBAL. YES.
BECAUSE I WONDER IF THE PERCENTAGE IS NOT THE BEST WAY TO YOUR POINT TO DO THAT BECAUSE COSTS CHANGE ALL THE TIME. I GUESS THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.
YES. WE WANT TO DISCUSS NUMBER TWO A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT'S NOT 100% FEASIBLE TO BUILD TO ANYTHING AT MIDPOINT WITHOUT SOME CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC DOWN MID POINT BOULEVARD AT THE BEGINNING. SO IT SAYS ALL I DON'T KNOW WE CAN REVISE THAT LANGUAGE TO BUT I WANTED TO BRING THAT UP. WHY DO I NEED IT? WHY DO YOU NEED COME DOWN TO ONE FOR FOUR PER DAY ONE SITE CLEARING EQUIPMENT FOR INSTANCE? WE CAN'T NECESSARILY OFFLOAD ON NEW RIVERSIDE ROAD AND COME DOWN THE SECONDARY ACCESS WE WOULD NEED TO COME SOME EQUIPMENT WOULD NEED TO COME DOWN MIDPOINT TO ACCESS. SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT SUGGESTED THAT THE CLEARING BE DONE UNTIL YOU DO THE ROADS RIGHT ADD THAT RIGHT SO IF YOU I MEAN IF YOU HARDCOVERS YOU CAN'T GIVE US BUT WE WOULD WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE A LITTLE FLEXIBILITY ON THAT ONE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT.
IT'S JUST SUCH A HARD THING MEASURE FOR US AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE LOUDEST SCREAMS THAT I HEARD YOU KNOW ABOUT CONSTRUCTION. SURE.
TRAFFIC COMING OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY ALREADY THEY ARE THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR KIDS ALREADY IN THE STREET. SO AND I KNOW THAT I WOULD BE MORE INCLINED TO SAY BUILD A ROAD. YOU GOT TO BUILD IT ANYWAY.
BUILD IT FIRST AND USE IT FOR YOUR ENTRANCE INTO THIS DEVELOPMENT.
USE IT AS I MEAN THAT WOULD BE JUST SECONDARY CONSTRUCTION AS JUST THE I THINK THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THAT ACCESS I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE BEEN BOTHERED IT'S A REALLY BIG GRADE COMING OFF THAT ROAD AND I JUST I DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S GOING BE FEASIBLE BUT I GUESS IF THAT'S THE IF THAT'S THE MOTION WE'LL HAVE TO MAKE WORK IF SOMEBODY MADE IT WORK FOR THE LIKES AT OF THE LAKES IS PRETTY LEVEL THIS IT'S A BIG DROP OFF GRADE WAS IT'S PROBABLY TEN FEET FROM THE THE GRADE GOING IN ANYWAY YEAH NO I MEAN YOU DO IT FROM THAT SIDE AND GO AGREE YEAH I MEAN KNOW AS MUCH AS I JUST PUSH EVERYTHING OUT THE WAY AND THEN START FIXING IT I'LL MAKE YOUR MARGINS RIGHT AND I MEAN YOU HEAR FROM ME ON I THINK IT'S RESPECTFUL TO RESIDENTS ARE OUT OF BED IN A PLACE FOR TRAFFIC THOSE TRUCKS DO NOT ADHERE TO SPEED LIMITS OR AND I JUST WE'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR PEOPLE WHO CALL IMPULSIVENESS OR IS THIS SOMEBODY ELSE SOMEBODY WHOEVER THEY BOUGHT FROM YOU KNOW THEY LIVE HERE AND THEY'RE TRYING TO GO TO WORK AND GET THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL OR MAYBE THEY'RE VOLUNTEER IN SOME WAY OR BECAUSE THEY'RE RETIRED. AND I JUST HOPE PEOPLE REALIZE WE ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE A LOT OF LIVING WITH THAT COMING IN BECAUSE YOU DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO BUILD. BUT I JUST THINK WE'VE GOT TO THIS RESPECT WITH RESIDENTS SO THAT'S GOING TO BE HARD. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO BE RESPECTFUL AS WELL AS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS MOTION WITH THE PERCENTAGES ADDED INSTEAD OF THE NUMBERS AND I DON'T MIND READING IT BUT ARE THEY GOING TO DOCUMENT WHAT WE JUST TALKING ABOUT ON ATTORNEYS TO REWORK SOME OF THE I WOULD ADD THE 50% ANY ANY TERRY MIGHT
[01:50:03]
BE WORKING YEAH NOW I GUESS I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT BECAUSE JUST SO IT IS LEGAL YES MA'AM EVEN YEAH I WILL ALLOW IT. ARE YOU READING THIS CORRECTLY. I WAITING.OKAY. HI, I'M CAROL CRUTCHFIELD WITH THE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND OPERATIONS THAT ARE IN THAT FOURTH POINT THERE. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'M READING THIS CORRECTLY IN FIRST SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT OF TRAFFIC SO IS WARRANTED PULTE HOMES SHALL COORDINATE WITH THE NEW RIVERSIDE ASSOCIATES AND WITH THE PEOPLE'S COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SO THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSTALLATIONS I'LL MAKE SURE THAT AND WASN'T APPLYING TO AD AND THE DEVELOPER CURRENT OR FUTURE WILL BE WE CAN ASK JUST TO CLARIFY THAT LANGUAGE THERE THAT'S ALL I HAVE. SO YOU MENTIONED THAT IF YOU COULD GIVE US THIS MOMENT YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT CHURCH. YES.
WE'RE JUST MOMENTS I CAN GET TO ITS NAME SAYS I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INFORMATION RECOMMENDATION TRACK IMPROVEMENTS AND THEN THE PERSON WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IS THAT IF WARRANTED PULTE HOMES BE OR DEVELOPERS SHALL COORDINATE ASSOCIATION AND BE RESPONSIBLE RESIDENTS RELATION CONTRACTOR CONTROLS EXTREMELY INTERESTING INTERESTING LIKE IF YOU 3 MINUTES LATER ANYWAY THIS IS NICE BECAUSE YOU CAN LISTEN I'M BUILDING YOU HAVE ONE THING THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A MODEL THAT TO SHOW THAT YEAH YOU KNOW I SEEM TO BE VERY IT IT'S PART OF THE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IN TOTAL IN THE COMMUNITY GIVING AN ADVOCATE IS OKAY OKAY WE'RE BACK OR I'M TERRY MADE THE CHANGES Y'ALL WANT ME TO READ JUST YES IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST TO APPROVE THE MASTER PLANNING FOR MIDPOINT A NEW RIVER SITE CONSISTING OF 31 ACRES ALONG MIDWAY BOULEVARD AND NEWBURY SITE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS PULTE LLC OR FUTURE DEVELOPER SHALL CONSTRUCT EXCLUSIVE EASTBOUND RIGHT TURN LANE THAT LAND ON EXHIBIT LABELED ENTRANCE IMPROVEMENTS IN ATTACHMENT TEN OF THE PACKET ON MIDPOINT BOULEVARD AS PART OF THE FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT NUMBER TWO HOXIE HOMES OR A FUTURE DEVELOPER SHOP CONSTRUCT THE SECOND ACCESS POINT AS SHOWN ON THE PROPOSED MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT AS PART OF THE FIRST PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT AND PRIOR ANY SITE CLEARING THIS ACCESS POINT MUST BE USED BY ALL CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AND MAY BE USED BY MIDPOINT RESIDENTS AND VISITORS NUMBER THREE PRIOR TO FINAL APPROVAL THE MASTER PLAN THEN MATT PULTE HOMES LLC OUR FUTURE DEVELOPER WILL REMOVE ANY INDICATION OF THE GATED COMMUNITY PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE 50% PLUS ONE HALL OF THE PROPOSED HOMES INCLUDED THE MID-POINT MASTER PLAN ONYEDINMA A NEW RIVERSIDE ROAD AT MIDPOINT BOULEVARD A TRAFFIC STUDY SHALL BE CONDUCTED SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR THE CHEMICAL OUTLINE. THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY SHALL INCLUDE ONE EVALUATION OF A SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT AS AN ALTERNATIVE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT AND TO TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS IF A SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT OR TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS WARRANTED
[01:55:01]
PULTE HOMES LLC OR A FUTURE DEVELOPER SHALL COORDINATE NEW RIVERSIDE ASSOCIATION INC AND THE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND PULTE HOMES LLC OR FUTURE DEVELOPER OR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE RECOMMENDED TRAFFIC CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERSECTION NUMBER FIVE PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT FOR 75TH PERCENT PLUS ONE IMPROVEMENTS SPECIFIED IN CONDITION NUMBER FOUR MUST BE COMPLETED AND FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED IN THE EVENT THAT TRAFFIC STUDY MENTIONED IN CONDITION NUMBER FOUR DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY IMPROVEMENTS THEN PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A FINAL DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL FOR THE FINAL PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT PULTE HOMES LLC A FUTURE DEVELOPER WILL PAY INTO ESCROW NUMBER ONE THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT TO CONDUCT A SECOND FULL SIGNAL MARKET ANALYSIS. NUMBER TWO THE COST OF THE RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS ONCE THE SITE IS FULLY OCCUPIED. QUESTION TWO SET IN-PERSON AT FIRST SECOND YOU ANY DISCUSSION NOW YOU CAN ACCUMULATE HERE FOR TO REVIEW THIS BEFORE WE WRITE THIS MOTION TO REVIEW THE MOTION YES I DON'T AGREE ARE WE ASKING FOR ARE YOU ASKING TO TWO PEOPLE WHO MANAGE TRAFFIC MITIGATION AS A WHOLE SO NO COST HERE BUT YOU WANT TO BEAR THE BURDEN 100%.YES, THAT WAS IN THE MOTION IT'S BEEN UP ON THE SCREEN BUT I THINK ANSWER YOU GOT HUNG UP ON NUMBER TWO OF COURSE ANY ANY COST THAT THEY'RE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE THEY'RE FREE TO NEGOTIATE ON. WELL YEAH BUT THAT'S UP TO YOU .
THAT'S AFTER YOU BUILD 200 HOMES SO YOU ARE PUTTING EXTRA MONEY, SIR.
BUT AT THAT POINT THE COST SHARING AGREEMENT AT THAT STAGE AND SHOULD DECIDE THEY DON'T WANT TO CALL SHARE WITH THIS THE WHOLE BURDEN IS GOING TO FALL ON THE PARTIES WHAT ON HERE EVEN THOUGH WITHHOLDING IS NOT THE ONE THAT IS TRIPPING THIS ALL IS GOING TO BE EVEN WORSE WHEN THEY'RE CAUSING THE ISSUE THE ROAD AND SO AGAIN WE GO BACK TO OUR FAIR SHARE WELL YOU OWE ADDING ANOTHER 200 HOMES TO 400 AT THAT POINT AT THAT POINT, RIGHT.
THE WHOLE DISCUSSION THIS EVENING THE WHOLE YOU WERE STANDING AT THE PODIUM WAS CALLED SHARING A PERIOD. I NEVER DEVIATED FROM THAT. WE ALL HEARD THAT CLEARLY AND THE SCHOOL WILL BE THE TRIGGER DOWN THE SOMEWHERE NOT NECESSARILY TO 2 TO 400 HOUSES THAT'S WHY I UP THE QUESTION ABOUT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT YOU IT OR WHO MAINTAINED IT OR THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE YOU KNOW WHO WAS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND HOW MUCH YOU CAN GO THROUGH THERE SO ALL I HEARD ALL ALONG WAS FROM THE DEVELOPER A COST SHARING DISCUSSION NOTHING TO THE CONTRARY AND AGREED AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WILLING TO DO IS TO CALL SHARE WITH THAT IN MIND AND I THOUGHT THAT'S WHERE WE WERE HERE. THIS IS NOT WHAT I IT'S JUST NOT WHAT I'M UNDERSTANDING. AS A MATTER OF FACT, MR. ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT HOW WOULD WE PUT MONEY IN ESCROW ON EVERYTHING FOR YOUR PORTION OF IT WHICH WAS INTERESTING IS THAT CORRECT HERE AT THE DEVELOPER WAS TO FUND 50% WHAT HE SAID RIGHT I MEAN IT'S A DISCUSSION BUT I WILL TELL YOU THIS MOTION WAS SOMETHING THAT SEEN AND IT WAS ON THIS BOARD AND THEN SOMEONE BROUGHT UP 50% AND AS I READ IT THAT WASN'T REALLY WHAT STAFF HAD SUGGESTED AND SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT WE CAN SEE IF IT YEAH I MEAN THE THING BUT YOU KNOW IT'S GROWTH PAYING FOR GROWTH IN IT AND I WOULD DISAGREE WITH YOU I THINK 400 HOMES COST TWO AND A HALF PEOPLE WHICH IS PROBABLY MORE LIKE FOUR PEOPLE PERHAPS FOUR CARS DOES ADD TO THE BURDEN OF THAT ROAD MUCH QUICKER THAN A NEW SCHOOL THAT WE DON'T EVEN HAVE MONEY BUILD YET. BUT AGAIN THAT'S WHAT THE THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS TELLS US.
WE HAVE TO REQUIRE THIS TRAFFIC ANALYSIS TO TELL US THAT THESE ACTIONS AND AGAIN THE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS RIGHT NOW IS NOT SHOWING THAT IT'S GOING TO BE WORKING AT ITS POINT AND THAT MOST LIKELY IT WILL BE THE CALLS OF THE SCHOOL THAT WENT TO TRAFFIC, NOT THE BUILD OUT OF THE I'M SORRY NOT THE BUILD OUT A MIDPOINT BOULEVARD. SO AGAIN IN THE FAIRNESS OF THIS I GOTTA ASK THE IS WILLING TO PAY THEIR SHARE BUT IT'S NOT REALLY THE WHOLE ISSUE THERE THE WHOLE VERSION OF OF TRAFFIC MITIGATION NOW NEW RIVERSIDE ROAD SO IN THE CITY AND I AGREE AND TO DAN'S POINT EARLIER I DO AGREE TO YOU I CAN MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE
[02:00:07]
AMENDMENT HERE TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION TO MAKE THAT LANGUAGE MORE SPECIFIC OF THE 50% OPTION THOSE WHO WANT TO DO IT TO MAKE THE AMENDMENT YOU CAN MAKE AN AMENDMENT. WE HAVEN'T VOTED ON THE MOTION SO.ANYONE HERE CAN MAKE THEM DIE FOR THE LACK OF VOTES THEN MAKE A NEW MOTION.
WELL WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THAT. MAY NOT DO THAT. SO MY NAME IS THING IS TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT AND SEE IF THE AMENDMENT PASSES RIGHT. YOU CAN DO IT THAT WAY YOU CAN DO IT EITHER WAY YOU CAN THE IF THE FIRST MOTION DOES NOT PASS YOU CAN READ IT ALL AGAIN AND AMEND IT. SO IF IF SOMEONE IS ASKING YOU TO AMEND THE MOTION THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANYBODY WHO MADE THE MOTION YET AND HAS NOT BEEN SECONDED.
MR. DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN SESSION SO I THINK IT'S YEAH AN AMENDMENT NEEDS IT.
IT COULD BE AMENDED THIS POINT YES I SO I'M GOING TO ASK FOR THE VOTE UNLESS THERE'S AMENDMENT TO MOTION NO I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION THEN I WOULD ASK YOU ALL TO MAKE IT IN MOTION TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO THE PREVIOUS MOTION REQUIRING THE ADVOCATE PRIOR ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THE 201ST TIME ON THE FLOOR AND A PROPOSAL WAS INCLUDED IN THE MID-POINT A MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT AND NEW RIVERSIDE ROAD AT MIDPOINT OF BOULEVARD TRAFFIC STUDY SHALL BE PROVIDED TO THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON.
AT ISSUE INCLUDE AN EVALUATION OF SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT AS AN ALTERNATIVE AN INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT AND A TRAFFIC SIGNAL ONE ANALYSIS IF A VISUAL TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS WARRANTED POLICY ON LLC OR FUTURE DEVELOPER SHOULD COORDINATE. YOU NEED TO WAIT FOR THAT 1 TO 50% AND YEAH I WAS GOING TO ADD IN AND WHAT I HEARD HE SAID 201ST YEAH YOU WANT TO WORK RIGHT HERE IN THAT READING THIS. ALL RIGHT PRIOR.
TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT FOR 50% PLUS ONE HOME OF THE PROPOSED HOMES INCLUDED IN THE MIDPOINT MASTER PLAN AMENDMENT A NEW RIVERSIDE ROAD AT MIDPOINT BOULEVARD TRAFFIC STUDY SHALL BE PROVIDED TO THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON. THE SCOPE OF THE STUDY SHALL INCLUDE ONE IN EVALUATION OF A SINGLE LANE AS AN ALTERNATIVE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT AND TO A SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS EVERY SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS WARRANTED POLICY ON LLC ARE FEATURED SHOULD COORDINATE WITH NEW RIVERSIDE ASSOCIATION INC AND THE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND PULTE HOMES LLC OR FUTURE DEVELOPER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE RECOMMENDED TRAFFIC STUDY SO SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE INTERSECTION THAT WAS THE MONEY MEET THE BALANCE WELL I GUESS WHAT I WAS READING WAS GOING TO ADD NEW YOUR COSTS OF 50% OKAY IT MIGHT SAY THE CURRENT MOTION COULD BE AMENDED POINT NUMBER FOUR COULD BE AMENDED TO SAY THAT HOSTING HOMES LLC OR DEVELOPERS OBLIGATION IS LIMITED TO 50% OF THE COST AND THEN IN PARAGRAPH SIX THE LAST CLAUSE THE COST OF THE RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS ONCE THE SIGNS FULLY OCCUPIED AGAIN THERE WOULD A 50% LIMITATION THERE ALSO THEY WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE PERCENT SO YOU COULD AMEND FOUR AND SIX AND CHECK THE 50% ON BOTH OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS AND YOUR MOTION BEFORE QUESTION BEFORE WE VOTE ON THAT TERRY IT SAYS IT'S SAYING FOR THE THEY WILL COORDINATE WITH COUNTY AND NEW NEW SO WHAT HAPPENS OF THEY GOT THERE 50% OF THE MONEY AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY COOPERATION FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT OR WHOEVER TO PUT THE LIGHT IN. DO THEY GO OR ARE THEY ALLOWED TO GO AHEAD START BUILDING 200 MORE HOMES OR DOES DELAYED HAVE TO GO IN I MEAN REMEMBER THE WORDING OF IS THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO UNDER THE WORDING HERE NUMBER FIVE THAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE 75TH HOMES SO THEY WOULD END UP WITH 300 PERHAPS A FEW HUNDRED WITH THE RIGHT NUMBER BUT THEY COULD NOT GO PAST 300 IN LESS UNLESS IT WAS WHATEVER RECOMMENDED RECOMMENDATIONS IN PARAGRAPH FOUR FROM THE TRAFFIC STUDY UNLESS THOSE WERE COMPLETED THEY COULD NOT PASS. I THOUGHT SAYS 201.
THEY HAD TO DESIGN IT AND GET THE PARTNERSHIP OF 201 OR 50% PLUS ONE AT NUMBER FIVE BEFORE
[02:05:08]
THEY CAN GO PAST 75% THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE IMPROVEMENTS BUILT AND FUNCTIONING SO THEY HAVE BETWEEN THOSE THOSE THAT 25% TO GET IT BUILT FINALIZED. SO ONCE IF THEY DON'T BUILD IT ONCE THEY GET TO THE 7070 5% OF THEIR PERMITTED UNITS THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO GO BEYOND THAT UNTIL IT'S ACTUALLY FUNCTIONING AND OPERATING AT CLEAR AND JUST 75% ON AND SO WE AMENDED 320/301 HOME TO SAY 75% PLUS 181 BECAUSE THEY MAY ONLY END UP BEING ABLE TO GET LIKE THE MAYOR SAID, 350% TO 400. I SEE THAT FIVE DOWN THERE THAT'S CLEVELAND OR SOMEPLACE OR THEY MAY FIND WHICH I SUSPECT BE SORT OF THEY CAN POTENTIALLY AVOID IN GOING TO I DON'T WANT TO CLIMB THE LADDER. I'M GOING TO KEEP BUILDING HOUSES DESTROYING THE WHOLE COMMUNITY THERE THAT HONESTLY I WILL RELATE AMENDED MOTION TO READ IT ALL OVER AGAIN AND STOP ME SO THE REQUESTS FOR AMENDED AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION IS ON I DON'T NUMBER FOUR WHERE THE LAST SENTENCE SAYS IF A SINGLE LANE ROUNDABOUT TRANSIT SIGNAL IS WARRANTED PULTE HOMES LLC OR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SHALL COORDINATE WITH NEW RIVERSIDE ASSOCIATION AND THE BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND PULTE HOMES LLC OR FUTURE DEVELOPER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 50% OF THE INSTALLATION OF THE RECOMMENDED TRAFFIC CONTROL IMPROVEMENTS IN THE INTERSECTION. THAT'S CORRECT. I'M ON THE FOURTH NUMBER SIX.WE'RE JUST COPYING IT THERE AND TOWARD THE END OF LAST SENTENCE AFTER PULTE HOMES OR FUTURE DEVELOPER WILL PAY INTO ESCROW S THAT THE FIRST WAS BASED ON THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT CONDUCT A SECOND FULL SIGNAL WARRANT ANALYSIS AND NUMBER TWO IS 50% OF THE COST OF THE RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS ONCE THE SITE IS FULLY OCCUPIED THAT WOULD BE THE AMENDED MOTION.

CURRENTLY THERE ARE OVER $2.9 MILLION OF ACCOMMODATIONS TAX AVAILABLE SPLIT BETWEEN OR COMBINED BETWEEN AND LOCAL TAX FUNDS AND I'M TO GO THROUGH THE APPLICATIONS AT THIS POINT. THE FIRST ONE IS THE FARMERS MARKET.SO YEAH, LET'S DO IT ONE AT A TIME. OKAY FARMERS MARKET ELECTION YES THIS ONE THIS IS THEIR ANNUAL REQUEST AND THEY ARE REQUESTING $50,500 IN SUPPORT OF THE MARKET FOR TWO 2023 MAIN QUESTIONS AND NATALIE ON THIS ONE REQUEST THERE'S A MOTION I MEAN THERE'S A AMOUNT REQUESTED A 50,300 AMOUNT RECOMMENDED OF 50,500.

SO AGAIN ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT SAYING I OPPOSED YOUR TABLE ONE BELOW TABLE ONE AT THE REQUEST OF THE YOU HAD ASKED FOR HIS APPLICANT NOT BE VOTED ON SO OUR HAS TABLE THAT VOTE FOR THAT APPLICANT AND NEXT COUNTY BLUFFTON SQUARE CARRIAGE HOUSE RESTORATION YES SO THIS IS THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THE SQUARE COAT CARRIED OUT CARRIAGE HOUSE IT HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED FUND AT $457,026 IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED A REQUEST THAT AND RECOMMENDED IT FOR 57 AND $26 SO FOR A SECOND SO ANY DISCUSSION IF I CAN DISCUSS OVERALL WE ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO GET THIS HAVE OUR LOW COUNT ALL OVER THE PLACE? ABSOLUTELY YES. IN RECENT EVENTS I COULDN'T SEE OUR LOGO ANYWHERE AND I ACTUALLY ANNOUNCED SPONSORS AT ONE AND I DIDN'T ANNOUNCE SO NOT ONLY ONE UNDER THE BUS BUT LET'S JUST MAKE SURE THAT WE DO WE THAT'S WHY WE REQUIRE THE AD FOR ANY OUT OF PRINT ADVERTISING TO BE REIMBURSED BY THE TOWN THAT WE SEE THAT LOGO ANY OTHER DISCUSSION COMMENTATORS SAY HI I OPPOSE YOU THANK YOU NEXT IS NUMBER THREE HOWEVER FORMAL CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL YOU CONTRACT FOR BODY CAMERAS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAPTAIN HOW ARE YOU MORE FROM CHIEF OF POLICE CHANDLER UNSCRAMBLE MY HEAD FROM THAT MIDPOINT DISCUSSIONS NOW ON A DIAGRAM YOU HAPPY GOING HOME THAT'S ALL YOU CAN ASK GOOD EVENING COUNCIL MAYOR THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME I DO APPRECIATE THAT I'M HERE SEEKING YOUR APPROVAL FOR THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON TO ENTER INTO A FIVE YEAR LEASE WITH PECAN STRATEGIES WHO IS A RESELLER OF G TACK BODY WORN CAMERAS AND CAR CAMERA SYSTEMS .
WE ARE CURRENTLY USING L THREE CAMERAS FOR BODY WORN CAMERAS AND IN-CAR CAMERAS L THREE HAS TAKEN UPON THEMSELVES TO SELL THAT PORTION OF THEIR COMPANY TO ANOTHER COMPANY.
THAT COMPANY IS SAFE FLEET SAFELY IS NO LONGER SERVICED THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE HAVE SO WE ARE UNABLE CURRENTLY REPAIR ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE AND ANY NEW EQUIPMENT THAT WE WOULD BUY FROM THEM WOULD CAUSE US TO BASICALLY HAVE TO BUY ALL NEW END SYSTEMS, SERVERS AND
[02:15:02]
CHARGERS EQUIPMENT AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO BASICALLY IN A POSITION NOW WHERE WE HAVE ABOUT 20 BODY CAMERAS THAT WE'RE HAVING TO SHARE AMONG PATROL OFFICERS ONCE WE REALIZE SAFELY WAS NO LONGER SERVICING OUR EQUIPMENT WE BEGAN A TESTING PROCESS.WE REACHED OUT TO FIVE DIFFERENT COMPANIES THAT ARE ON STATE CONTRACTS THAT OFFER THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT TO POLICE DEPARTMENTS AND WE ASKED THEM FOR DEMONSTRATIONS.
WE ASKED THEM FOR EQUIPMENT FOR TESTING PURPOSES FROM FIVE COMPANIES.
WE DID IT DOWN TO TWO COMPANIES THAT WE FELT BEST REPRESENTED THE USE THAT WE HAD AND FOR BUDGET PURPOSES I DO HAVE TO EMPHASIZE THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAW IS A STATE THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES DO HAVE TO HAVE BODY WORN CAMERAS AND WE DO HAVE AS A PIECE OF STATE OUR REGULATIONS IN USE WITH THE PATROL OFFICERS. THE TWO COMPANIES THAT WE DID GET IT DOWN TO WAS DIGITAL ALLY AND G TAC. WE DID SAY THE NEW TAC WAS PROBABLY THE BEST FIT FOR OUR DEPARTMENT AND THEY ALSO DID COME IN THE LEAST COST SO THEY CAME IN AT $666,000. I'M GOING TO GO AND ROUND THAT UP TO 667 IF YOU DON'T MIND.
THIS WOULD BE OVER A FIVE YEAR PERIOD. FIRST YEAR WOULD BE ABOUT $137,000. WE BELIEVE THAT WE CAN OFFSET THAT THROUGH $100,000 THAT WE RECEIVED AND THEN FIND THE ADDITIONAL $37,000 WITHIN OUR CURRENT BUDGET.
I WILL ALSO POINT OUT THAT GTECH IS ALSO USED BY COUNTY SHERIFF'S TO MAKE IT A LOT EASIER FOR US TO SHARE INFORMATION. I HOPEFULLY I MADE A LITTLE BIT QUICKER THAN MIDPOINT. WE'LL BE HAPPY TO THAT YOU HAVE AND IF I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS I DO HAVE THE ANSWER MAN HERE. WELL WE JUST HAD TO KEEP YOU FROM HAVING TO PATROL ROADS.
YEAH, I APPRECIATE THAT YOU GOT THE THAT WE HAVE NOW ACHIEVED WHAT DO WE DO THAT WE SHOULD PROBABLY BE ABLE TO SELL THAT BACK TO GET BACK TO THE NEW DISTRICT AND MR. KEATING LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CURRENT EQUIPMENT THAT WE DO HAVE, WE GOING TO EXPLORE SELLING IS AN OLDER OBSOLETE SYSTEM SO THESE WOULD BE USEFUL FOR A TIME THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY OR THE EQUIPMENT NOW BUT IN MOST TOWNS THAT ARE ALREADY USING SOME SORT OF A BODY WORN CAMERA OR IN-CAR VIDEO CAMERA SYSTEM WOULDN'T REALLY BE INTERESTED IN IT.
SO I DON'T EXPECT TO GAIN A LOT FROM IT FROM THIS YEAR. SO HOW LONG WE HAVE AT LEAST SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE JUST ABOUT HOW WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO EITHER THEM OR BY THE UNIT FROM L3 BUT L3 IS CURRENTLY SOLD THE DIVISION SO NOW WE'RE IN A SPOT WHERE THEY DON'T MAKE IT ANYMORE ANYTHING PICTURE ANYTHING. I HAVE ONE SO WHEN WE MAKE DECISIONS LIKE THIS TECHNICAL DECISIONS AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING COMPUTERS ARE OBSOLETE WE INVOLVE IP I CAN'T CONTROL WHERE THEY ARE THIS YES SO WE HAVE TO BE INVOLVED AND WE ALSO INVOLVED THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S I.T DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE WERE CHOOSING GOING TO TALK WITH THEM AS WELL AND THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY HANG UPS WITH THAT OF STUFF I SEE SHAKING HER HEAD SO MANAGEMENT YEAH SHE CONTROLS.
ALL RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT THEY ACTUALLY TOOK TO THE CONFERENCE SPECIFICALLY THIS SO HE COULD INVESTIGATE OVERNIGHT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN THE REVIEW THE RESEARCH AND ACTUAL TESTING TO MAKE WE'RE RIGHT BUT WHAT KEEPS THIS BEING OBSOLETE DO WE HAVE ANY ASSURANCES OF THIS COMPANY ? I MEAN HOW LONG HAS THE SHERIFF BEEN USING SEASON BUT THEY DO HAVE A WAS A 25 MONTH HISTORY SO THE WAY THAT THE CONTRACT WAS BUILT IS A 25 MONTHS HALFWAY THROUGH THE CONTRACT PERIOD THEY WILL REFRESH THE BODY CAMERAS SO WE WILL GET A COMPLETE BRAND NEW SYSTEMS ON THE IN CARS AND NOT GET REFRESHED WITH CARS DON'T SEE THE ABUSE OR THE HARDWARE CHANGE AT THE LEVEL THE BODY CAMERAS DO SO HALFWAY THROUGH THEY'LL BE COMPLETELY REFRESHED AND IF THEY GONE TO A NEW MODEL AND MADE THE CURRENT MODEL THAT WE WOULD AGREE TO WITH THEM OBVIOUSLY THEY WILL PROVIDE US WITH THAT NEW MODEL NO ADDITIONAL COST INCURRED. SO WE HAVE FIVE YEARS ASSURED.
YES MA'AM. AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO REDO IT IN THE OTHER QUESTION IS THE LEASE CORRECT? RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, IT'S A TECHNICALITY BUT I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS GRANT WAS ACTUALLY $200,000 BUDGET ALLOTMENT THAT THAT REPRESENTED PER PERSON ACTUALLY
[02:20:05]
PUT INTO THE BUDGET BUDGET THIS YEAR SPECIFICALLY FROM APD. AND THAT'S BEEN USED TO HELP FUND THE VAST MAJORITY OF THIS YEAR'S WORK AND THAT'S OKAY. DO WE NEED TO PUT THE DOLLAR AMOUNT IN THIS MOTION BECAUSE WE DO OTHER THINGS OR IS THIS BECAUSE OF THE DOLLAR AMOUNT? YEAH. 680 667,000 I JUST KNOW WE PUT IT IN IN THE PAST SHOULD WE DO IT FOR AND I WANT TO SEE A MOTION SO THAT THAT'S MAYBE WHAT I WOULD I WOULD AGREE I WOULD SAY OR 90 IN OUR CONTRACT FOR BODY CAMERAS ARE AUTHORIZING THE TOWN MANAGER TO SIGN A CONTRACT MEAN I A MOTION HEATHER WOULD BE A SIMPLE MOTION WE ARE AUTHORIZING THE TOWN MANAGER EVENT OVER PMC STRATEGY TO PROVIDE BODY CAMERAS THE 25 MONTH REFRESH PURSUANT TO QUOTE 101607 SO THINK I'M I REMEMBER ALL THAT I GOT UP THANK YOU WAS THERE WE GO WE DO YEAH I READ THAT TO BE MORE CLEAR OH HOW LONG UNTIL YOU ASK FOR MORE MONEY YET FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE THAN THAN THE CAMERAS CAUSE YOU SEE SO THE SHOOT IN FROM TWO WEEKS TIME WE SPENT A TOTAL COST OF $663,000. THANK YOU.601 EACH ROUND UP THREE EXCUSE $6,385 AND 40. RIGHT.
OKAY. IS THERE A MOTION ADD A RESOLUTION VERSION TO THE RESOLUTION. YEAH THERE ARE MOTION TO THE RESOLUTION THE AWARDED A CONTRACT FOR BODY WORN IN-CAR VIDEO SYSTEM. SORRY.
NO, I'M LIKE IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO ENTER INTO A LEASE CONTRACT WITH PEACE? I THOUGHT YOU SAID GEOTECH PCM IS ACTUALLY THE THE THE COMPANY THAT RESELLS THE LEASING. IS THAT CORRECT? YES.
OKAY. I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT CONTRACT AND STRATEGIES LLC OR THE LEASE NOT PURCHASED RIGHT FOR THE LEASE SO AN INTEGRATED BODY WORN CAMERA IN-CAR VIDEO SYSTEM IN THE AMOUNT OF $666,385.49. SO ANY DISCUSSION OF YES THEY'RE GOING TO ASK TO CHANGE IT WELL BUT YOU CAN NOTE GOING FORWARD YOU SAID THIS I JUST THINK IT'S WARM AND FUZZY.
WE ALWAYS DO. WE'VE AUTHORIZED THE TOWN MANAGER LANGUAGE IS ALWAYS IN THERE SO SAME THAT SAME RESULTS WE DON'T SAY THAT RIGHT NOW JUST I WILL SAY GOING FORWARD I TOLD THAT'S WHY YOU WROTE IT IT BROUGHT THAT UP SO YOU AMEND THIS AMENDMENT AND I DON'T KNOW DO YOU WANT TO YOU ARE MIDPOINT AGAIN NOW HEARING THERE IS AN AMENDMENT TO APPROVE THE TOWN MANAGER TO GO INTO A CONTRACT WITH PSC STRATEGIES LLC FOR THE PURCHASE OF AN INTEGRATED BODY WORN CAMERA IN-CAR VIDEO SYSTEM OR LEASE OF SUCH IN THE AMOUNT OF $666,388 AND 20 37 ALL ON PAPER THAT AMENDED MOTION DOES THAT MAKE SENSE THAT I GUESS IT'S DONE BUT YOU TOTALLY SUPPORTING IT WE JUST GOT TO GET IT RIGHT FOR PEOPLE TO SIT HERE ONE DAY.
I APPRECIATE THAT I LOOK AND I WANT TO GIVE YOU THOSE THANK BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN IN COMMAND WE HAD NOT HAD ANY HICCUPS OH YEAH AGAIN AND AGAIN I THINK THANK YOU FOR BEING JOINED IN THIS BUT EVERY TIME WE NEED TO STAND IN THE GATE AND SO FORTH APPRECIATION FOR THE TOWN I APPRECIATE THAT. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FACEBOOK PAGE DRIVERS IN BLUFFTON WHICH I DO A GREAT TIME IN FRONT OF YOU I NEVER HEARD OF JUST TO MAKE SURE NO THERE IN THERE THAT'S KIND OF I NEVER DO IT BUT YOU GOT TO LOOK AT IT.
YEAH OH YEAH. WITH THE TIME UNTIL Y'ALL KNOW I NEVER CONSIDERATION THIS WAS VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO BE ON A CONSENT SO WE DECIDED TO PUT IT SO IT IS FULLY TRANSPARENT.
THERE IS A RESOLUTION FOR THE PART OF SOUTH CAROLINA ASSEMBLY TO ADOPT A 3620 CLEMENCY MAKE
[02:25:05]
PRIME MINISTER STATES YES NOW CREDIT MAYOR SOCCER WITH BRINGING THIS UP AND SHE ASKED FOR IT TO BE DISCUSSED SO I'LL GO ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO TWO MONTHS AGO AND WANTED TO IT UP BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN HANGING OUT IN THE STATE LEGISLATOR FOR YEARS I WOULD SAY I THINK WE DID A RESOLUTION TO TRY TO ENCOURAGE IT HAS THE STATE 2019 AT THAT POINT AND I DON'T THINK IT'S BEEN OUT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS SO JUST TO GO THROUGH THE QUESTION IS YOU KNOW WHAT IS A HATE CRIME SO WE HAVE IT HERE AS A CRIMINAL ACT MOTIVATED BY HATE FOR SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THEIR REAL OR PERCEIVED RACE, RELIGION, NATIONALITY, GENDER OR GENDER IDENTITY SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR DISABILITY THEY'RE ACTUALLY TO SAY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY THAT DO NOT HAVE HATE CRIME LAWS RIGHT NOW ONE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND THE OTHER IS WYOMING. AND AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, TOWN COUNCIL DID APPROVE A RESOLUTION ON JULY 9TH, 2019 SUPPORTING AGE 3063 WHICH WAS THE ACT BEFORE I THINK IT CLEARED THE HOUSE AND WENT OVER TO THE SENATE. SO AS I MENTIONED IN OCTOBER MEMBERS ALSO PRESENTED ISSUE SO LOCAL IT WAS KIND OF CONSENSUS OF SO LOCO THAT THEY THOUGHT THIS IS WORTH GOING SUPPORTING AND TRYING TO GET THE STATE LEGISLATORS TO PASS SO CAN PUT TOGETHER OUR RESOLUTION AND SHARED THAT WITH ALL THE MEMBERS AND SO I'VE GOT WE HAVE ASKED THAT SOME LOCAL MEMBERS CONSIDER THIS IN DECEMBER SO THAT WE CAN TRY TO HAVE EVERYBODY THAT IS SUPPORTIVE OF IT PASSES AND THEN WHEN WE MEET WITH OUR STATE LEGISLATORS IN JANUARY WE CAN TRY TO USE IT AS A TO INTERVENE IN THIS UPCOMING SESSION TO BRING THIS TO THE FOREFRONT. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE WORKING WITH THE MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATE AND TO TRY TO HAVE AN INPUT THIS OTHER PARTNER MOVING AND YOU KIND CALENDAR AND I THINK WE'VE ALREADY HAD SOME OF THIS I THINK THEY'RE LOOKING TO TAKE THAT ON JUST SAY NO THERE ARE THREE LOCAL SOUTH CAROLINA ORDINANCES THAT HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN ADOPTED THESE ARE CITY OF CHARLESTON, COLUMBIA AND GREENVILLE.THESE WOULD HAVE BEEN ADOPTED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE STATE HAS NOT TAKEN ACTION ON THIS AND MOVE FORWARD. SO THEY'VE ACTUALLY TAKEN ACTION LOCALLY.
SO JUST TO KEEP THAT IN MIND, IF WE GET THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION AND SOMETHING COUNCIL WANTS TO REVISIT IT, BRING IT BACK UP THERE ARE THERE IS A PRECEDENT OF OTHER MUNICIPALITIES IN THE STATE JUST ADDRESSING THIS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL SHOULD THAT BE SOMETHING WE WANT TO PURSUE AT A LATER DATE IF THE STATE LEGISLATURE DOES NOT PASS IT? SO WHAT WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT IS A SUGGESTION MOTION TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION OF TOWN COUNCIL ENCOURAGING THE PASSAGE OF H 3620 WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE CLIMATE AC PICNIC HATE CRIMES ACT. WHAT WE WOULD DO OF COUNCIL AND TRY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS IS WE WOULD LOOK TO DRAFT A LETTER OF SUPPORT OR YOU THE MAYOR SIGN IT ON OUR BEHALF OR HAVE A LETTER AND COUNSEL THAT WE WOULD PREFER TO SIGN SEND THAT TO ALL OF OUR LEGISLATORS AS WELL AS LEADERSHIP AT THE STATE AND THEN AGAIN AS WE MEET WITH OUR STATE LEGISLATORS BEFORE THEY GO ON TO SESSION IS WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE FOR HOMETOWN LEGISLATIVE ACTION DAY, BRING IT UP TO THEM AND ASK THEM TO MAKE SURE THEY CONSIDER THAT AND LOOK TO GET IT PASSED IN THIS COMING LEGISLATIVE SESSION I CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE AND I'M SURE MAYORS SO GO AND TRY TO ADDRESS ANYTHING THAT MAYOR AND COUNCIL SHOULD SIGN. I THINK IT NEEDS THAT KIND OF A SUPPORT THEN WHAT ARE THE OTHER JURISDICTIONS DOING? THE EXACT SAME THING THAT WE'RE DOING HERE WE GAVE THEM OURS AS A TEMPLATE YES SIR. I UNDERSTAND THE COUNTY AT SO LOCO IS HESITANT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN TOLD TO THEM BY THEIR LOBBYISTS THAT ONE OF THE SOUTH SENATOR SENATORS THAT WANT THIS TO MOVE FORWARD WILL MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN MAKE IT NO ATTENTION TO ANY REQUEST IF THEY THIS THAT THE MIDDLE CHILD DON'T TELL THAT SO I DON'T THINK THE COUNTY IS GOING TO MOVE ON THIS BUT I DON'T THINK THAT STOPS US. WE DIDN'T TEXTING WHILE DROWNING. REMEMBER CAPTAIN CHANDLER AND JOEY CHEEK REYNOLDS SAID IT'S NOT GOOD. YOU KNOW, SNEAKY. YOU SHOULD LET LAW GO FIRST.
AND NOW WE HAVE A STATEMENT ABOUT TEXTING AND DRIVING. SO I THINK WE BE SURE I WILL GET BRIDGET YOU KNOW WHEN SHE WAS FIRST ELECTED AND STARTED MEETING ALL THESE OFFICIALS
[02:30:02]
THAT WERE RUNNING FOR OFFICE, SHE PROUDLY STATES SHE TALKED TO THE PERSON NOT NECESSARILY THE PARTY AND THIS WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO HER AND I LISTENED TO ALL OF THAT AND I THINK THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR SOMEONE WHO WITH ALL OF OUR FRIEND AND MAYBE HE'S LOOKING DOWN ON US AND SMILING TONIGHT A LITTLE BIT AND I APOLOGIZE IF I DIDN'T KNOW I'D BE ALL RIGHT HERE.I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, I WANT TO KNOW THAT I'M TALKING I GOT TEN MORE MINUTES. THAT'S WHY I'M READY TO TELL HER YOUR EMOTION AND TO APPROVE THE RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL AT THE TOWN BOARD AND SOUTH CAROLINA ENCOURAGING SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO ABOUT H 3620 BUT CLEMENTA PINCKNEY HEY FROM SO MYSTERIOUS SO TO SPEAK MULTIPLE ALL IN STATE AND ALL OF COUNCIL WILL THIS ASHLEY HALL OF FAME ANYTHING AND YOU CAN DO IT YOU THERE'S A CONSENT AGENDA HERE ANYWAY WANT ANYTHING REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA TO DISCUSS IN MORE DEPTH? IF NOT IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONSENT AGENDA SO THERE'S NEVER ANY DISCUSSION ALL OF HER STATEMENTS THEY'RE ALL IN FAVORS DO ANYTHING I SUPPOSE THAT'S UNANIMOUS. THESE ARE FABULOUS OF CIVILITY THAT GOT TO GET YOUR COPY AND IS JUST GREAT INFORMATION DIRECTION TO ADJOURN
