FOR THE PUBLIC HEARINGS WHERE WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO MONITOR THAT AND TRY TO DO THEM AT THAT TIME. SO IF WE SEEM LIKE WE'RE GOING WAY AHEAD, WE'LL USE MY DISCRETION AND MOVE THAT DOWN AS WE GET CLOSER TO SIX TO GIVE EVERYONE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME IN AND FOR THOSE IF YOU WERE HERE IF YOU WOULD NOT MIND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO SIGN IN.

WE ARE WE HAVE FORMALLY WE HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION WITH DONALD SESSION IS VERY CONFUSING CONFUSING TO ME HAS BEEN CONFUSING ON HOLD FOR IT WITH EVERYONE ELSE IN THE BACK ROOM CAN YOU VOTE FOR IT? I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP IT AND ABSORB IT WHENEVER WE HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION OR NOT. I THINK IT'S JUST TOO CONFUSING TO GO UP IN OUR BECAUSE THE GOAL IS NOT TO HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR SO IF ANYONE WE WILL START JUST KEEPING IT FOR PEOPLE. NO WE DON'T. CONFUSION WITH PRESENTATIONS LIKE IN SESSION OR BECAUSE WE REALLY SET UP TO JUST TAKE A BREAK UNTIL TIME CLOCK RIGHT SO

[00:05:03]

YES. WELL I'M TAKING A PUBLIC COMMENT AND AND WOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE OUR OF EXECUTIVE SESSION IT PUSHES EVERYBODY BACK FURTHER IS THE ONLY REASON THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING I THINK MAYBE IT HAS TO BE SOMEWHAT OF A JUDGMENT IF YOU THINK THERE'S A LOT ON THE DOCKET THAT WE CAN MAKE AN EXCEPTION COULD BE THE TIME THAT WE JUST HAVE THEM ON OR MAYBE IT'S EXECUTIVE SESSION STOP WE JUST GOT TO MONITOR BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD GO PAST STOP AND OF WE HAVE IT'S NOT ANYTHING WE HAVE TO DO TODAY BUT JUST THINK ABOUT IT IT'S IT'S EITHER THIS WAY OR THE OTHER WAY AND WE'RE WALKING OUT OF HERE AT 530 AND WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE RESIDENTS IN THE ROOM AND WE'RE STARTING AT FIVE AND WE'RE STARTING AT 530. SO YOU TO YOU WOULDN'T WANT THE GENTLEMAN WHO WAS JUST HERE TO HANG OUT UNTIL 9:00 TO GO IN THERE AND SPEAK YOU GUYS FOR 10 MINUTES OR SO.

[VI. Action from Executive Session]

IS THERE A MOTION TO APPOINT JAMES ANDREW SMITH AS THE ASSOCIATE JUDGE TO WORK UNDER GEORGE BUSH. THE CONTRACT WOULD BE SIGNED BY OUR TOWN MANAGER AND OUR THOUGHTS WERE TO KEEP IT CONCURRENT WITH THE TIME FRAME SITUATION WHICH STARTED IN JANUARY TO KEEP THAT CONTRACT WITHIN THE SAME MOTION.

[VII. Adoption of the Minutes]

WE'LL DO THAT AND WE CAN PURSUE THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING PROCLAMATION THAT IN THE WORKSHOP WHICH IS TALKING ABOUT NOW BETWEEN THOSE TWO THAT SHOULD GET US TO PROCLAMATION HEATHER'S UPDATE AND THEN WE CAN JUMP IN WORKSHOP AND HOPEFULLY OTHERS WILL BE COMING IN AND WE WILL NOT DO PUBLIC COMMENT UNTIL AFTER FIRE. OKAY.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR DAY IN THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON.

THEREFORE I HAVE SET MY HAND ACROSS THE FIELD THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON TO THE EXTENT OF JANUARY 2023 PLACE ON OUR SITE WE'LL GET SOCIAL MEDIA OUT ON MONDAY ON A NEW FOR WHERE PEOPLE COME TO DANCING OVER THE WEEKEND NEXT WE'LL JUMP SIGN FOR PRESENTATIONS TOWN OF BLUFFTON ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE HEATHER GOOD EVENING I DO SECOND PART I'M SORRY THIS IS A LITTLE DISJOINTED BUT OKAY ALL RIGHT THOSE NUMBERS ARE REALLY TINY ALL RIGHT THIS IS ON OUR AGENDA SO I WANT TO BE PRINTED, DOWNLOADED, ENHANCED EVERYTHING YES.

I AND WHAT DID YOU WANT TO SAY IS SO HONORABLE SINCE I COME BEFORE YOU AND JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU A SNAPSHOT OF WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS IN TERMS OF SOME OF THE PROJECTS, SOME OF OUR BUILD OUT PERCENTAGES AND AS YOU ALL KNOW 93% OF OUR LAND IS WITHIN A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AND UNDER A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT.

SO ESSENTIALLY A CONTRACT THAT WE KNOW HOW MUCH RESIDENTIAL WE'RE GOING TO GET, HOW MUCH COMMERCIAL WHAT THE PUBLIC DEDICATIONS ARE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

HOWEVER WITH THAT SAID COMES TIME TIME THERE CAN BE AMENDMENTS TO THOSE AGREEMENTS FOR EXAMPLE PALMETTO, BLUFF WAS THE ONLY AMENDMENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WE DID THIS PAST YEAR IN TERMS OF THE DOCKS NOW SOMETIMES YOU KNOW WE HEAR 92% SO THERE'S 8% THAT LIES OUTSIDE OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. SO THAT'S UNDER A HYBRID OF TRADITIONAL ZONING AND FOR RACE COVE SO THAT THOSE AREAS ARE PRIMARILY THE OLD TOWN HISTORIC DISTRICT AND KIND OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS LIKE WHERE THE WALK SUBDIVISION IS ON BIRCH ROAD, THE ISLANDS EVANSVILLE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AREAS THAT ARE COVERED BY THAT AS WELL AS THE GOLF SHORTS NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AND SOME OTHER POCKETS HERE AND THERE.

BUT IN ALL OF THAT YOU CAN SEE FOR THE PUBLIC THAT IS HERE AND WATCHING ONLINE WE DO HAVE A PERMIT FINDER MAP THAT WE CONTINUE TO REFINE AND UPDATE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THOSE DEVELOPMENTS AND WHERE THEY'RE IN THE PERMIT PROCESS SHOWS UP. SO WE CONTINUE TO KIND OF ADD

[00:15:04]

SO THEY REALLY TOOK THAT OUT OF OUR HANDS AND JUST STOPPED ALL PERMITS AND PLANS FOR A PERIOD OF NINE YEARS. SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT KIND OF WAS ON HOLD.

THERE HAD BEEN TALK ABOUT DOING THAT AGAIN BECAUSE OF COVID BUT DON'T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT.

SO WE'RE CARRYING ON AS MOVE ON WITHOUT THAT SOMETHING MEANINGFUL ASSOCIATION FOLLOW OR DO THEY HAVE A TIME THEY HAVE TO ENACT THAT COULD IT BE THIS YEAR I BELIEVE THEY COULD DO THAT AT ANY TIME THE STATE DECIDES SO WE DO MONITOR THAT AND SO HOW WE KNEW ABOUT THE COVID POTENTIAL BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW THAT HAS NOT BEEN ENACTED OR APPROVED AT THIS POINT.

SO BUT THAT'S REALLY NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO WITH. THE STATE SAYS IT'S ON HOLD, THEY'RE ON HOLD AND THEN WE JUST AGAIN MAKE THAT WE'VE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT AND MOVE FORWARD. BUT LIKE I SAID, THE FIRST ONE VILLAGE OF VERDE OR FIRST ONE'S BLUFFTON VILLAGE WHICH RIGHT NOW THEY'RE AT 78% BUILDOUT. SO THERE IS STILL SOME COMMERCIAL TO BE USED. THEY MAY CHOOSE NOT TO BUILD IT.

THEY DON'T HAVE TO BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY THEY COULD ESSENTIALLY BUILD A LITTLE BIT MORE OUT THERE. AND THEN IT'S OUR QUICK QUESTION NOW.

SO IF THEY DON'T BUILD IT MARCH WAS OCTOBER OF 24 WE CAN SAY YOU CAN'T THAT'S WHERE IT GETS A LITTLE SEVERE. I THINK THAT IT ESSENTIALLY GO AWAY.

YES, THAT WOULD BE OUR POSITION . BUT THEN YOU HAVE IN L.A. ON COLLEGE FOOTBALL WHICH IS PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS AND IN FEBRUARY HELPED US WITH THAT WAS THAT THAT MCNAIR THAT HELPED US WAS IT IS PRETTY I MEAN BRANDI KAISER NON-RACIST CAMP FRANCIS CAMP WELL THE IS THERE'S JUST NOT A LOT OF LAW ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THESE EXPIRE THE ZONING DISTRICT WILL CONTROL SO AN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION SO BASICALLY WITH AN EXPIRED I MEAN ANYTHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE THEY DO WE DON'T HAVE THAT THEY'RE NOT THERE THEY SAY IT'S 400,000 SQUARE FEET OF COMMERCIAL LEFT I'M GUESSING THE 24TH AND PERMITTED IT'S UP TO WE ALLOWED MORE FOR BASED CODE AT THAT POINT MOST MOST LIKELY FROM WHAT AND AGAIN LIKE I WENT BACK AND I'M CLEARLY NOT AN ATTORNEY ABOUT WHEN IT LOOKED AT THE STATE LAW ON THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ACT AND THEY REALLY DON'T SPEAK TO WHAT HAPPENS AFTER IT EXPIRES SO IT'S SILENT ON THAT WHAT WE AGAIN OUR STAND IS THAT THE BASED ON EXCEL WOULD SAY DEVELOPMENT SO THE USES WOULD STILL BE THE SAME USES THAT WERE APPROVED AS PART OF THE AGREEMENT BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW THE CURRENT CODE WHATEVER ZONING IS IN PLACE AT THAT TIME AND THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE A YEAR AND A HALF TO FIGURE THAT OUT.

SO I UNDERSTAND OUR POSITION THEY COULD ALWAYS CHALLENGE IT IN THE LEGAL SYSTEM LEGISLATORS ARE REAL BIG ABOUT PRIVATE PROPERTY YOU KNOW SO I DON'T KNOW HOW NONE OF US KNOW WHERE THAT UP I GUESS WE DEAL WHEN WE GET THERE WELL WE WILL BE DEALING WITH IT OVER THE NEXT

[00:20:03]

MID SUMMER OF 24 WITHOUT POSITION AND IRONED AS HARD AS I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE GOAL IS WE HAVE GOT TO LAY OUT THE INTERESTING AND ALL THE THINGS THAT WERE YES WE WILL DO DURING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WERE THEY DONE? YOU'RE RIGHT HAS ALL THE LAND LIKE PER YEAR FINALLY BUT IS LAND ALL BEEN DEDICATED THAT NEEDS TO BE DEDICATED AND EASEMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT . STAFF IS WELL AWARE ALL THESE ISSUES WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THEM AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO TALK THIS ASSOCIATION OTHER LAND USE LAWYERS AND WILL WE WILL DO WHAT IS RIGHT LEGAL AND FAIR SO THIS IS KIND OF UNCHARTERED TERRITORY FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN THIS BECAUSE THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT ACT IS SO RECENT THAT I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE HAS GOOD EXAMPLES OF WHAT YOU'RE ON EXPIRATION DATE WAS NEW RIVERSIDE NOT APPLICABLE AN EXPIRATION OR DID YOU JUST NOT FIND THE DATE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY ALL HAD SOME TURTLENECK SO THAT IS APPROVED NOT IT'S IT'S SPLIT BETWEEN PALMETTO BLUFF AND JONES. OKAY THERE WAS AND SO YOU HEAR THERE'S NOT AN AGREEMENT ALL RIGHT SOMEWHERE BUT IT WILL GO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE EXPIRATION OF THE TWO OF THE 39 OR 57 RIGHT HERE AND YOU HAVE WHICH AREAS ARE OKAY RIGHT LET'S PULLING UP HERE GET THIS ROLLED OUT THERE TO SHOW THAT SUMMARY HERE OH I MEAN THEY THEY I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WERE PICKED I GUESS IT WAS FROM FARMERS AND MAYBE I DON'T KNOW IT HAPPENED PHASING IN MAYBE I SEE THAT AREA IT'S HELPFUL FOR YOU AS WELL THERE DATES YOU JUST HAVE A HAWK BETWEEN YEAH IT'S JUST MORE IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO PUT THERE BUT THAT WAS A LITTLE FURTHER OUT SO WE'VE GOT SOME TIME BUT IF THAT FIRST YOU THAT WE REALLY CONCENTRATE ON IS LEFT IN VILLAGE AND THEN OVER THERE WHICH ARE TWO OF THE SMALLER DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT SO AT LEAST THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE MANAGEABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHERE WE'RE AT AS FAR AS THAT GOES. BUT I DID WANT LET YOU KNOW IT'S DEFINITELY ON OUR MINDS.

WE'VE ALREADY STARTED TALKING IT FIGURING OUT SO THAT WE'RE NOT YOU KNOW, A MONTH TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT MEANS. SO WE SHOULD BE WELL PREPARED TO BE ABLE TO WELL INFORM ALL OF THE PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE DEVELOPERS OF WHAT THEIR CLEAR EXPECTATIONS ARE MOVING FORWARD. SO THAT'S ALL THEY GENERALLY BRING AND STUFF TO GO THROUGH AS WE PUT THINGS IN PLACE TO HANDLE IT. YOU KNOW GREAT.

BUT JUST KIND OF I KNOW I KIND OF WENT SOME OF THE SHEETS BUT THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION AND NUMBERS IN THERE. A LOT OF IT WAS PRESENTED AND GIVEN TO YOU AT STRATEGIC PLANNING WE TRY TO KEEP A HANDLE ON THAT. WHAT I WILL SAY IS THAT WE ARE STARTING TO SLOW DOWN IN TERMS OF OUR PACE OF HOW QUICKLY THE DEVELOPMENTS ARE BEING BUILT OUT. SO LAST YEAR WHEN I WAS BEFORE YOU WE WERE AT 52% BUILD OUT AND THAT'S OVERALL BUILT OUT RESIDENTS AN AVERAGE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

NOW WE'RE AT 54% SO WE'RE GOING STARTS WITH ABOUT THAT OVERALL WITH LIKE 72% THAT'S THE OVERALL RESIDENTIAL WE'RE ALREADY LARGEST RESIDENTIAL WHERE WE'RE MORE BUILT OUT.

SO AGAIN AND THEN AS TIME GOES ON WE TAKE THE DATA DEPENDING ON WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO THOSE DETAILS THAT WE'RE TRYING IT THE STORY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO TELL WE DIDN'T HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN IN PERCENTAGES PRIOR TO 2020 WHICH WE CERTAINLY CAN CAN DO THAT BY 2020. JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF HOW FAST WE WERE MOVING FORWARD, IT WAS 46% SO IT WAS A LITTLE BIT FASTER JUST FROM THAT 2020 TO 2021.

SO IT'S SLOWING DOWN A LITTLE BIT IF CLEARLY I'VE ALWAYS ASKED THIS QUESTION SO IT'S NOT ACTUALLY JUST PERCENTAGES REFLECT JUST ACTUALLY STILL IT REFLECTS PERMITS ISSUE INCLUDED INTO THE HOMES BUILT CORRECT AND WHAT WE'VE DONE NOW IS WE KEEP TRACK OF THOSE DIFFERENT STATISTICS SO YOU'LL SEE HERE AND ASSUMING AS YOU CAN SEE THE HEADING OF WHAT WE DO TRACK WE'RE ABOUT TO BUILD OUT PERCENTAGE SO THAT'S MORE OF WHAT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHAT'S PERMITTED AND THEN THE UNITS DO THAT ARE HELD BY THE DEVELOPMENT RATES BANK BY

[00:25:04]

SO THE BUILD OUT PERCENTAGE IS WHAT WE TYPICALLY REFER TO AND THIS IS WHERE YOU'LL SEE THAT UM I'D HAVE TO SCROLL OVER SO YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS BUT THAT'S HOW WE HAVE THAT SEPARATED OUT BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL VERSUS NON RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL. SO AGAIN A LOT OF INFORMATION SORRY SORRY.

SO IT'S A 76% DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT RESIDENTIAL PERCENTAGE BUILD OUT WHAT PERCENT OVER HERE OR AM I LOOKING SEE THE ACTUAL AS HOUSES BUILD SO WHAT WE COULD DO I DON'T HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN ON THIS WHAT I COULD DO IS SHOW YOU WE COULD DO A REPORT THAT SHOWS CEOS OR THE CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I CAN BREAK OUT. MAYBE THE PERCENTAGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO SO I CAN PUT THAT IN THE MONTHLY REPORT FOR NOW WOULD BE LIKE FROM CELIA ARE CORRECT ESSENTIALLY YOU'D BE PULLING THOSE WE CAN SHOW YOU THAT HE HAS SOMETHING BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE GOING TO FIND WE'RE ALSO LIVING IN HERE AS WE GET CLOSER TO THESE REALLY HIGH DENSITY AREAS WHERE THEY HAVE MORE DENSITY THAN THEY'RE EVER GOING TO BUILD. I THINK IT'S ALSO WHAT'S IT WHAT IS GRANTED WE KNOW THEY'RE NOT BUILD EVERYTHING THEY'RE GRANTED SO THAT I MEAN I'M TICKLED WE'RE SEEING 80% UTILIZED AND 70 I THINK WE'RE GETTING TAKEN OUT THERE TO WHERE WE'RE STARTING TO SEE SOME LEVELING SUDDENLY ALL THE TIME WITH NO ONE AT COMMERCIAL DOES FOLLOW RIGHT RIGHT. AND THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT WE ARE SEEING THERE WHEN YOU SEE THAT 76% AND THEN YOU CAN KIND OF DOVE INTO THE INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER COME OUT OF THIS IS THE ONE THAT'S THAT FAR LOWER THAT'S THE ONE THAT IS ONLY AT 32% OR EXCUSE ME A RATHER 30 POINT DEVELOPMENT PERCENTAGE 20 DEVELOPER RIGHTS PERCENTAGE KNOCKED OUT THERE. THERE'S A BETTER WAY LIKE TO SEE THIS AND I'M HAPPY TO DO IT. IT'S JUST SO MANY NUMBERS THAT THAT AND ALL OF THIS IS IS IN THE PACKETS AND WE DO KEEP IT ON THE WEBSITE AND I DO GO BACK TO LOOK AT IT BUT AND BREE DOES A GREAT JOB OF KEEPING ALL THESE NUMBERS IN CHECK SO BUT WE CAN DO THAT THE CEOS VERSUS NON CEOS AND THOSE WOULD BE THE COMPLETED CONSTRUCTIONS THAT'S ALL I HAD ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR HIGHLIGHT ANY OF THE ATTACHMENTS, WHATEVER YOU'D LIKE TO USE AND GROW THIS STATEMENT. IT'S JUST I KNOW THIS IS ALL HAPPENING AND I THINK IT'S GOOD WE'RE GETTING A HANDLE ON AND AS WE GET CLOSER WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK BUT IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD TO GET A HANDLE ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE FIRST FIRST ONE COMING UP AND JUST DOUBLE CHECK AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING'S CROSSED AND AND HOW DO WE GET IT? YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WITH BLUFFTON VILLAGE IF THEY HAVE HOW MANY RESIDENTIAL DID THEY HAVE? THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY TO THAT IT'S JUST THE BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED 30 TO 38 SO THEY HAVE SIX AND THAT IS JUST GO AWAY. YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT DO WE DO WITH ALL OF THAT THEY CAN ONLY TRANSFER WITHIN THEIR OWN AGREEMENT RIGHT.

CORRECT. OKAY. SO THEY ONLY HAVE SIX OUT GOT PRIVATE SO THEY PROBABLY DON'T WRITE IT ENOUGH FOR THE RESIDENTIAL AND WE OVER HERE THEY HAVE LET'S SEE WHAT DO THEY HAVE REMAINING THEY STILL HAVE SOME COMMERCIAL OR NONRESIDENTIAL RATHER WHERE DO YOU SEE THE REMAINING WHAT'S REALLY WHERE YOU WANT REMAINING SO THEY HAVE SIX AND THEY HAVE 59,000 COMMERCIAL THEY HAVE TO FIND LAND TO PUT ALL THAT ON WITHIN THEIR DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO UTILIZE BUT THEY CAN ALWAYS COME LIKE SOME OF THE OTHERS ARE ASKING US TO UTILIZE COMMERCIAL FOR RESIDENTIAL THEY CAN BUILD UPON THEY DON'T REALLY THE OTHER DOWN THE RIGHT RIGHT THIS IS THIS IS WHAT THEY HAVE APPROVED AND THEY COULD REQUEST MORE AS THINGS GET CLOSER WE MIGHT SEE MORE OF THAT BUT THIS IS ALL THE REASONS WHY WE WANT TO GET AHEAD OF IT SOONER RATHER THAN LATER WHICH IS SOMETHING WE ALL REALIZE IS A CORRELATION. THIS IS THE BUDGET. THIS SLOWS DOWN THE BUDGET'S GOING TO BE IMPACTED AND MORE NEGATIVELY EVERY YEAR GOING FORWARD FOR THAT THERE'S A LOT

[00:30:01]

WE MOVED TO A WORKSHOP DO NOT APPROVE IN ARE YOU DOING THE PRESENTATION I HAVE A PRESENTATION TO DO BUT I THINK THE REST OF MY TEAM IS NOT PLANNING TO BE HERE TO 5:00

[XII. Workshop Agenda Items]

WE CAME TO YOU IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR AND BEGAN TO INITIALLY DISCUSS THREE STRATEGIC PLANNING POTENTIAL USES THAT COUNCIL MIGHT SEE FIT FOR BOTH THE STRUCTURE ITSELF AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY AND WE USE THAT FEEDBACK TO GO AHEAD AND CREATE PUBLIC SURVEY THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED IN PAPER ARTS AND SEAFOOD FESTIVAL IN OCTOBER AND IT HAS BEEN ONLINE THEN AS OF THIS MORNING WE HAVE HAD 138 RESPONSES ONLINE AND IT'S STILL AFTER THAT FOLKS WANT TO GIVE INPUT TO THAT WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY SEEING AND THE RESPONSES THAT WE'VE RECEIVED AND. I'LL GO TO THE GRAPHICS IT'S WRITTEN THERE IS THAT FROM WHAT WE HEARD FROM COUNCIL IT SEEMS TO BE COLLABORATED BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC THE MAJORITY OF WHOM WITHIN THE TOWN'S MUNICIPAL LIMITS AND FOR THOSE THAT NOT LIVE IN THE MUNICIPAL LIMITS THOSE MAJORITY HAPPEN TO OWN BUSINESS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VESTED STAKEHOLDERS HERE. WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS FEEDBACK IS THE MAJORITY OF THESE FOLKS ARE LOOKING SEEING THE STRUCTURE ITSELF THE COTTAGE AS ANCILLARY PARK AND OR RESTROOM CLASSROOM AREA OR MUSEUM INTERPRETIVE CENTER OR ADDITIONALLY FOR THE GROUNDS FOR USES THAT THE PUBLIC HAS SEEMED TO DEEM EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WHAT WE'RE SEEING AS PRIORITIES ARE FLEXIBLE USE OPEN LAWN SPACE AS WELL AS BOARDWALK POTENTIAL BOARDWALK ACCESS TO EUGENE COVE SO THIS STARTS TO INFORM FROM A STAFF PERSPECTIVE AND HAVING THAT DISCUSSION WITH WHAT POTENTIAL USES DO WE REALLY SEE FOR THAT PROPERTY SO THAT WE CAN PROPERLY ASSESS IT AND GO AHEAD AND MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT THOSE USES TO US AS WE COME UP WITH A DESIGN AND ENGINEERING PLANS. AND TO THAT END THIS IS WHEN WE ENGAGE OUR COHORT ACROSS THE HALL WITH LAND IS HISTORIC PRESERVATIONIST SAY OKAY WHAT SHOULD OUR NEXT STEPS BE AT THAT POINT IN TIME KNOWING THAT SINCE WE'VE TAKEN IT INTO POSSESSION WE'VE BEEN PERIODIC STAFF ASSESSMENTS OF THE PROPERTY, THERE'S BEEN SOME MINOR MINOR WORK DONE OBVIOUSLY IN STABILIZING THE GROUNDS TO KEEP THEM SECURE AS FAR AS VANDALISM THAT KIND OF THING AS WELL AS ROOF TURFING AND WHAT HAVE YOU THAT DERRICK'S TEAM HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF AS WE MOVE FORWARD MADE SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT MORE DEPTH AND SO GLEN RECOMMENDED AND WE WENT AHEAD AND ENGAGE WITH METTERS WHO HAS DONE PLENTY OF OTHER WORKFORCE AS WELL TO GO ON OUT AND, DO AN ASSESSMENT OF THE STRUCTURE AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK WITH GLEN COME AND GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE FINDINGS ARE BECAUSE DEPENDING UPON YOUR DIRECTION AND OUR NEXT STEPS AND OUR COST ESTIMATES THAT WE'RE GOING TO ARE GOING TO BE DEPENDENT UPON WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE STAFF TO TAKE THIS. SO AT THAT POINT I'M JUST GOING TO BOUNCE A VERTICAL PRESENTATION WHY YOU'RE DOING THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT CAME IN WE GOT OUT OF THE DEPARTMENT ON OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION EARLY BUT WE ALSO KNEW SOME

[00:35:01]

SO AS KIM MENTIONED WE HAD KNITTERS GO OUT AND DO A REPORT THEIR SUMMARY BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF THE REPORT, THE RESTORATION OF THE REAR ADDITION IT'S NOT FEASIBLE THAT REAR ADDITION IS NOT DEEMED TO BE HISTORIC. WE'RE CONTRIBUTING AND THAT WAS A LATER EDITION HAS EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE OBSERVED SIGNIFICANT PORTIONS OF THE ROOF WALL AND FLOOR FRAMING EXHIBIT CONDITIONS THAT ARE BEYOND REPAIR AND THAT'S DUE TO ITS EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS HENCE ROOF TAR AND AN ACTIVE TERMITE INFESTATION.

THE STRUCTURES PRESERVATION WOULD REQUIRE A NEARLY COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION NEW MATERIALS IN THE PACKET YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE INTERIOR JUST TO PROVE THE POINT. WHAT WE SAW WE WENT THROUGH THIS IS THE PHOTOGRAPH ON THE LEFT TO SHOW YOU WHERE THAT EXTERIOR WALL COMING APART AND THEN OTHER DAMAGED ROOF SIDING FOR MOLD ETC. BASED ON THIS AND MAKING THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS DEMOLISH THE NON HISTORIC NORTHERN HALF OF THE STRUCTURE WHICH IS NOT CONTRIBUTING AND WHAT WE CALL MOTHBALLING THE HISTORIC SOUTHERN HALF OF THE STRUCTURE ANGEL PRESERVATION PLANS ARE COMPLETE AND THE STRUCTURE IS READY FOR REHABILITATION. THIS IS GOING TO INCLUDE THINGS LIKE STABILIZATION AND FURTHER PROTECTION FROM THE ELEMENTS AND FOR STAFF TO TO MONITOR THE CURRENT CONDITION I OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

YOU KNOW I CAN ONLY SAY THAT SO THAT WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT IT BEFORE WE EVEN BOUGHT THE ATTIC

[00:40:06]

I MEAN I DON'T ENOUGH WATER THERE MAYBE ON FULL MOON ON THE TEN FOOT TIME BUT SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT'S WHERE THAT CAME FROM. SOME OF IT IN GENERAL WAS JUST WHAT POTENTIALLY WHAT PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO SEE THERE, WHAT WOULD BE FEASIBLE RECOGNIZING THAT WOULDN'T BE A HEAVY USE FOR THAT PARTICULAR AREA. BUT WE KEEP HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC AS WELL THAT THEY WANT MORE KAYAK SITES AND ACCESSIBILITY.

SO JUST FLOATING IT OUT THERE AND ENGAGING WHAT IN GENERAL THAT'S LOOKING FOR.

SO PART OF THE REASON WHY WE'RE WORKSHOPPING WITH YOU IS WHEN HAS ALL THE GREAT DETAILS ON WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO MOTHBALL THE BUILDING UNTIL WE COME UP WITH A CONCEPTUAL POINT AND AN ENGINEERING FINAL DESIGN BUT ARE WE HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND THINKING OF REFLECTING THE COMMUNITY TIES AS USE MORE OPEN SPACE ON THE LAWN PERHAPS PICNIC FLEXIBLE USE OPEN LAWN IF IT'S BOARDWALK ACCESS TO YOU DECODE THAT MIGHT BE VERY SOMETHING SIMILAR PERHAPS TO WHAT WE SEE A BREAK FAMILY PARK WITH THAT BOARDWALK THAT COMES DOWN IT POTENTIALLY AT LEAST AT LOW TIDE PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS TO GET DOWN AROUND THE COVE ON THE GROUND SIDE ARE WE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT IDEAS THAT WE CAN BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME CONCEPTUAL PLANNING, BRING THAT WORKSHOP WITH YOU AND THEN ON THE BUILDINGS SIDE ITSELF WHAT WE'RE SEEING AND HEARING FROM THE PUBLIC IS THAT THE BUILDING POTENTIALLY COULD BE USED FOR ANCILLARY PARK USE, ADDITIONAL RESTROOMS, CLASSROOM AND MUSEUM INTERPRETIVE CENTER RECOGNIZING EACH OF THOSE ONLY HAVE BUILDING IMPLICATIONS BUT THEN ALSO LONG TERM USE IMPLICATIONS FOR STAFFING OPERATIONS THAT KIND OF THING.

SO BEFORE WE GO HERDING CATS WE WANTED YOUR INPUT TO SEE WHAT DIRECTION YOU'D LIKE US TO WORK AND WE SEE THIS IS JUST ONE THING I'M CURIOUS ABOUT WITH THE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE THAT'S BEEN IN THERE TERMITES INFESTATION AND EVERYTHING ELSE WHAT YOU SAID YOU'RE GOING TO ASK ALL WHICH YOU CAN WORK WITH AND WHAT PERCENT OF THE BUILDING CAN BE SALVAGED YOU IDEA I WOULD HAZARD A GUESS AT THIS POINT THAT IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY LOW NUMBER BASED ON WHAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SEE BEING IN THERE THERE I'M NOT SURE I CAN PUT A NUMBER ON IT BUT I'M I'M GOING TO SAY THAT THE NUMBER IS RATHER LOW AT THIS POINT OF WHAT CAN WE SAY IT'S TO BE MOSTLY NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT THEY BARGAINED FOR I WOULD SAY MORE THAN CARBON GARVEY LESS THAN RIGHT FAMILY. YES, IT'S KNOW WE CAN WITH MATTS WE KNOW WE DO REALLY GOOD PRESERVING AS BEST WE CAN RIGHT .

AND THE KEY IS FOR US TO GET IN THERE AND SECURE DO WHAT WE CAN SO THAT WE CAN THAT WE DON'T LOSE. WE'VE GOT WE'VE ALREADY HAD SIGNIFICANT LOSS.

THE GOAL OF THE MOTHBALLING IS TO THAT SAVING AS MUCH AS WE CAN AT THIS POINT.

AND THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS THIS IS JUST A PERSONAL THING.

IT IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE ELSE THE COUNCIL TO US YOU KNOW IT'S LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE A TWO STOREY BUILDING LANDS I THINK IT'S ALWAYS GREAT IF WE CAN FIND A USE WHATEVER THEY USE MAY BE PEOPLE CAN GO INSIDE THE BUILDING I ALWAYS GET HEARTBURN YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT THE GARDEN HOUSE AT ALL MY KNOWLEDGE AND THEN I KNOW WHEN MR. MARX WAS BUILDING THE JOINER PROPERTY THAT WAS MY ONLY COMMENT TO HIM WAS PLEASE WHATEVER DO WHATEVER RETAIL APPLICATION YOU HAVE AT LEAST MAKE IT SOMETHING THAT THE PUBLIC CAN NOT JUST ON THE EXTERIOR AND LOOK AT THE

[00:45:03]

I THINK WE SHOULD TRY AND REPLICATE WHAT WAS THERE AND NOT THINK ABOUT WHAT WE WOULD BE LOSS. LET'S BUILD BACK WHAT IT WE CAN COME BACK WITH COST ESTIMATES FOR YOU ON THAT ONCE WE GET A LITTLE BIT DEEPER INTO SOME STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS ON WHAT POTENTIAL A REHABILITATION SHORT TERM VERSUS A REBUILD PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT THAT YOU HAVE REAL DOLLARS AND FIGURES ON THAT WE CAN GET THAT FOR YOU AT ALL OF WHAT YOU SAID OUR DISCUSSIONS AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT'S IN THERE IS REPRESENTATIVE OF THIS AREA FOR THE PROPERTY IN THIS PART SO I'LL TIE IT UP A LITTLE BIT BUT NOW TO USE YEAH AND IT SOUNDS CAN WORKSHOP IT AGAIN I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL OF COURSE USE WHEN YOU HAVE SO MANY RESIDENTS AROUND ARE GOING TO START LIKE PEOPLE HAVE ANOTHER ACCESS TO COME TO THEIR HOUSE ANOTHER WAY OKAY SO I WOULD JUST CAUTION YOU RESIDENTS AND I AGREE THAT THERE TON OF TIMES I KNOW THE LADY THAT LIVES TO THE LETTER AND SEEING WATERBED YES AND I KNOW IT'S GOOD TO SEE WATER HERE. I DON'T EVEN I DON'T KNOW HOW I GET OUT BUT THINK OF THAT I THINK AS RESIDENTS ARE FEARFUL ALL AROUND FRONT AND BACK ARE FEAR WE'RE GOING HAVE ANOTHER VENUE FOR PARTIES AND ALCOHOL AND BANDS AND I WOULD CAUTION PERSONALLY LET'S HEAD LET'S AIR ON THE SIDE NOT TRASH JUST EVERYTHING IT IS FABULOUS HAVE AMAZING STORIES THAT LIVED INSIDE THAT HOME I DON'T KNOW THAT WE CAN PUT ANOTHER FAMILY UP AGAINST THIS FAMILY WITH ALL THE SUCCESS THEY HAD MICHAEL C REILLY AND I KNOW BUT YOU KNOW IT'S A LOT OF HISTORY AND IT'S NOT NEWS AND I AGREE WITH DAN HOW DO WE GET THERE SO WHATEVER IT'S GOING TO BE DOWN THE ROAD WE'RE GOING TO HAVE NONPROFITS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE THAT CAN HELP US WITH TOURS ONE DAY.

RIGHT NOW WE JUST DON'T IF WE HAVE THE HAYWARD HOUSE AND WE HAVE A GARVIN GARVEY HOUSE THAT NEVER DID SHOWED SO I THINK REVOLVING INTO MORE GROUPS THAT WOULD RUN IT MAYBE TO THE PERSON KEEP THAT VISION IN MIND SO PASSIVE DON'T FORGET FAMILY HISTORY WE'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY BARBIE BARBIE HOUSE WE CAN REPLICATE THIS HOUSE AGAIN I WE CAN I PUT CEILINGS IN ALL OF IT BUT I'D TO ADD ON I AGREE IT DOESN'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE TO ME TO SPEND $50,000 OR $100,000 MOTHBALL IF OUR SHIP IN THE INDUSTRY CONSTRUCT YOU KNOW TO DEMOLISH AND RECONSTRUCT I WOULD THINK WE WOULD WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IT YOU KNOW, DOCUMENTING WHAT IS THERE HOW IT'S BUILT AND GET ALL OF THAT INSTEAD OF SPENDING TONS OF MONEY TO SAVE SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN THE DUMPSTER I'D LOVE TO GO SEE YOU KNOW MEAN WE'RE GOING TEAR IT DOWN AND BUILD A RECONSTRUCTED YEAH I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHERE HE WAS GONE THAT I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID RIGHT RIGHT BUT WHAT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CATALOG WHAT IS THERE IN THAT OKAY. RIGHT WELL I AGREE WITH THAT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING WHAT KINDS YOU'RE DOING SIMILAR PATH JUST DIFFERENT WORDS IS SIMILAR TO WHAT'S BEING DONE AT THE BRUNEL SALVAGE SITE. YOU CAN BUT MAKE SURE THAT WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE JOINER I'M NOT YOU'RE YOU'RE TO MAKE THE JOINER HOME YOU SAID RUINED THERE IS A NUMBER OF THE OTHER BURN ROAD SORRY THE WATER OVER THERE SO IS WHERE THEY SALVAGE THE WINDOWS DOORS THEY CAME THEY'RE SALVAGING WHAT THEY CAN BUT WHAT'S GOING TO BE THE END RESULT IS GOING TO BE WAS THERE PREVIOUSLY MAY BE PARTIALLY NEW PARTIALLY SALVAGED BUT IT'S GOING TO BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CEREMONY I WOULD ONLY SAY GO TOWARD MORE OF WHICH IS GOING TO BE LIKE WHERE THEY HIRED A PROFESSIONAL COMPANY THAT HAS CORRECT NOT EXACTLY SMALLISH I DON'T WANT SEE THIS

[00:50:05]

I HOPE THIS IS CLOSER THAN FIVE YEARS AND FOR YOU TO DEMOLISH THAT BACK SOON THAT OUR BUDGET INDICATE THAT THAT CARDINAL SO AS FAR AS BUDGET NO THAT WAS NOT IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR. WHAT WE HAD THIS YEAR WAS $45,680 AND THAT WAS FOR THE SURVEYING AND DOING THE INITIAL MASTER PLANNING AND WE'VE ALREADY OUTLAID SOME OF THAT AND BRINGING MATTERS FOR THE ASSESSMENT WILL WORK WITH FINANCE TO FIGURE IT OUT.

THERE'S SOME STEPS THAT WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE TO GET THERE BUT FIGURE OUT WE CAN HAVE THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE FINANCING FOR THAT BUT WE NEED TO HAVE MATTERS OR WHOEVER COME IN HELP US FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE SO WE DON'T TAKE THAT PORTION OFF AND DO MORE DAMAGE THAN OTHERS SO THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME SOME WORK IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE DONE. THEREFORE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THAT COST IS GOING TO BE.

BUT THE PASSION THAT WE HAVE HAVING THE SPARK OF COURAGE WE CAN HAVE THE SAME PASSION THIS WHOLE CREATIVE I JUST DON'T WANT TO SEE IT FALL AWAY EITHER.

BUT WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS SAME LOVE FOR THIS. I WOULD PUT THIS OUT.

LET ME WITH THE STORY THAT THAT'S WELL WE LOVE IT THE HISTORICAL STORY THE STORY NOT THE STRUCTURE I KNOW I MADE A STORY OF THE STRUCTURE BUT NOT THE VALUE OF THE STRUCTURE AS FAR AS SO IN ORDER TO MOTHBALL YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE TO SELL IT.

YOU HAVE THAT REALLY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A CAN OF YOU OVERHEAD VIEW IF YOU WANT TO DO PEST CONTROL AND WHATEVER AMOUNT THEY USE TO DO THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE TENTING OR CANOPY OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE PART ONE OF THE FIRST THAT'S WHAT WOULD HAVE TO AND THEN STABILIZE THE STRUCTURE FROM THERE. NOW YOU CAN REMOVE THE BACK PORTION OF THE BUILDING AND STILL MOTHBALL. THE ONLY QUESTION IS GOING TO BE WHEN YOU REMOVE THAT BACK HALF THEN WHAT HAPPENS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE HOW THE STRUCTURES PUT TOGETHER BUT THE BACK STRUCTURE ISN'T CAUSING ANY ADDITIONAL PAIN TO IT YOU CAN'T TERMITE ALL OF IT. YOU CAN TURN IT ALL OR WE KNOW YOU COULD QUALIFY FOR A CAP OR IT QUALIFY FOR WHATEVER AND WE CAN GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS. THAT'S RIGHT.

OKAY. DO YOU HAVE ANY DO YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT? YEAH, I THINK THAT DEFINITELY WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THE INFESTATION AND OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO DO THAT REGARDLESS AND WE'LL WORK WITH MATTERS TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON MIGHT BE SALVAGEABLE WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY GO INTO FUTURE USES AND WE'LL COME BACK AND WORKSHOP WITH THIS PERHAPS IN APRIL AND WE'LL COME BACK TO IT AS WELL BETWEEN WHAT WE SEE IS A POTENTIAL SQUARE FOOTAGE REHAB COST VERSUS A RECONSTRUCTION SO THAT WE CAN START TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS AND YEAH, I THINK THAT PEOPLE WORKSHOP WOULD YOU HAVE SOME CONCEPTION OF YOU LADIES THERE THAT EVERYBODY'S TALKING ABOUT? SURVEYS INDICATE WE SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF DRAWINGS OR SOMETHING INDICATING WHAT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE YEAH I THINK WE CAN DO THAT TO HELP SPUR CONVERSATION DEFINITELY THAT'S BEEN WORKING ON IT. WE KNOW WE HAVE SERIOUS FINANCIAL COMMITMENT TO RECONSTRUCTION SO ALL OF THESE ARE AND CONCEPTS ABOUT WHAT TO DO THE REST OF THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE SECONDARY TO THE STRUCTURE IS THE PRIMARY YES SIR.

VERY CLEAR ON THAT. WE'RE TOURISM INVOLVED SOMEWHERE YOU MENTIONED THIS IS PART OF HERITAGE OR TOURISM AND OUR ECONOMIC GOOD THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

APPRECIATE IT THANK YOU. FOR MANY OF YOU WHO ARE OUT HERE AND THINKING THAT OUR COUNCIL MEETING FOR THE SUMMER WE NEED 34 THIS MONTH AND WE HAD EXECUTIVE SESSION AGAIN IT WAS USUALLY LONGER THAN NORMAL SHORTER NORMAL SO WE KIND OF PLAYED AROUND OUR AGENDA A BIT BECAUSE WE EVERYONE HERE THAT WANTED TO BE HEARD AND TO SOME CERTAIN PRESENTATION SO

THEY LOVE TO TALK ABOUT ALL THINGS HAPPENING HERE. WE ALSO WORK WITH THE LOCAL PILOT AND THAT RAN JUNE THROUGH NOVEMBER SO IT'S KIND OF AN EXTENDED EXTENDED PIECE BUT WE ACTUALLY HAD THE PRINT OUT THE SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL AS A DIGITAL ARTICLE THERE.

SO AGAIN WE CONTINUE TO HAVE GREAT PARTNERSHIPS ON THE PAID SIDE OF EFFORTS AND WE'RE SEEING GREAT RESULTS FOR THOSE. SO ONCE WE HAVE THE NUMBERS TALLIED ON THE BOTTLE, PAT WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE THOSE COMING UP. WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW WE'RE DOING OVERALL WITH HEADS AND BEDS, YOU KNOW WE LOOK AT THAT AS A THREE MONTH SNAPSHOT AND WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS, YOU KNOW, REALLY TRACKING TOWARDS THAT SEPTEMBER TIME FRAME WHERE WE SEE THINGS REALLY PICK UP FROM A TOURISM PERSPECTIVE BUT IF WE LOOK AT WHAT'S WHAT WE LIKE TO CALL KIND OF THE PIECE THAT THAT REALLY SEALS IN IS THAT THE RATES OR REVENUE PER AVAILABLE ROOM ACTUALLY UP 1.6% YEAR OVER YEAR WITHIN THAT SEPTEMBER TIME FRAME WHICH IS A REALLY NICE TO SEE BUT WE HAVEN'T NECESSARILY GROUND OCCUPANCY SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO HOLD OCCUPANCY NOT GROW NECESSARILY BUT DEMAND A HIGHER RATE FROM OUR VISITORS WHICH IS GREAT. SO WE'RE KEEPING THAT IN PERSPECTIVE AND TRYING TO GROW RESPONSIBLY INTO THE BEDS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOTTED HERE FOR THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON WHEN YOU LOOK AT HOW WE'RE BRINGING PEOPLE TO THE DESTINATION TO UNDERSTAND ALL THAT WE HAVE TO OFFER HERE IN THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON WE LOOK AT IT THROUGH KIND OF THE DIGITAL FRONT DOOR AND SO WE HAVE OUR SOCIAL MEDIA EFFORTS WHICH WERE REALLY THE GOAL OF REALLY GAINING FOLLOWERS IN THOSE PLATFORMS OF FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM.

AGAIN WE'RE NOT BY ANY MEANS PAYING FOR THESE EFFORTS IN PUBLIC RELATIONS. YOU'RE KEEPING RELATIONSHIPS UP ON THE OTHER SIDE WITH EDITORS AND REALLY WORKING TO HAVE THOSE ARTICLES HOPEFULLY THAT ARE FITTING THE DESTINATION BE BROUGHT TO LIFE. AND HERE YOU CAN SEE FOR THE JULY THROUGH SEPTEMBER TIMEFRAME THAT WAS DONE QUITE WELL WITH 40 PLACEMENTS ABOUT THE DESTINATION WHICH REALLY IF YOU HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY THAT WHICH YOU WOULDN'T DO IT IS THE 84 $184,000 THERE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT. THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DID. WE EARNED THOSE AND THEY WERE PLACED ACROSS SOME REALLY STRONG PUBLICATIONS SUCH AS NICE TO SEE AND I'M STILL A BIG FAN OF HAVING A BEAUTIFUL PRINT PIECE IN MY HAND.

A HIGH LEVEL OF SALES CLOSE TOGETHER. SO AGAIN 205 CLOSINGS IN 2022 BUT YOU LOOK AT THE PRICE THE THE AVERAGE PRICE PER HOME OR PROPERTY WAS OBVIOUSLY UP BECAUSE WE WERE IF YOU GO BACK WE WEREN'T FAR OFF 350 MILLION WITH 205 CLOSINGS VERSUS 391 MILLION IN 2021.

BUT WE HAD 372 CLOSINGS, TWO CEOS. I ACTUALLY GOT AN UPDATE ON THIS PRESENTATION TOGETHER WE ADDED TWO CEOS TODAY. SO AS OF TODAY WE ARE AT NINE OVER TWO FOR THE NUMBER OF CEOS ISSUED WITH A PATTERN OF LOW WELL WE GO THAT GOES INTO THE MOST IMPACTFUL NUMBER IS THE 451 HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR IN THE RV.

JUST PLEASE SIGN BEFORE YOU LEAVE ESPECIALLY AFTER PUBLIC AFTER THIS. SO WE ARE READY FOR HEARING

[XI. Public Hearing & Final Reading]

GOOD EVENING I'M MICHELLE KNIGHT AND WE ALL KNOW ME BUT FOR THE AUDIENCE OUT OUTBACK WE ARE HERE TONIGHT FOR THE 2023 NEEDS ASSESSMENT PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON THIS PROGRAM STATEMENT LITERALLY HOT OFF THE PRESS. WE GOT IT YESTERDAY THEN TO DO OUR NORMAL ADVERTISMENT IF ANYONE FROM TOWN STAFF OR TOWN COUNCIL HAS SOMEONE APPROACHED HIM TO TELL THEM THAT THEY FEEL OR TELL YOU THAT THEY FEEL HAVE BEEN DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN THE SALE AND RENTAL OF HOUSING IN REAL ESTATE RESIDENT RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS OR IN THE PROVISION OF BROKERAGE SERVICES .

UM THEY CAN CALL US AT LOWCOUNTRY COUNSELING GOVERNMENT AND WE WILL TAKE THEIR INFORMATION AND FORWARD ON TO THE APPROPRIATE GROUPS REGARDING MATTER SO THAT IT CAN BE INVESTIGATED IF NEED BE. THIS YEAR LOW TO MODERATE FOR COUNTY ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROJECTS HAVE TO BENEFIT THE MAJORITY OF LOW TO INCOME PEOPLE. OUR ADDRESS A SLUMP LIKE SITUATION OR ADDRESS AN URGENT NEED FOR COUNTY AS OF JUNE 2020 2A4 PERSON FAMILY THEIR INCOME WOULD HAVE TO BE UNDER $69,350 A YEAR TO BE INCOME QUALIFYING THAT NUMBER WILL GO UP OR DOWN BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE HOUSE AND FOR 2023 WE ARE EXPECTING TO ACROSS THE STATE $19.7 MILLION IN CDBG FUNDS FOR THE SELF DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE TO THE VILLAGE DIVIDE AMONG BASICALLY THREE MAJOR PROGRAMS THE ACTION PLAN THAT I MENTIONED THAT WAS HOT OFF THE PRESS THE COMMENT PERIOD FOR IT IS FROM YESTERDAY UNTIL FEBRUARY 7TH OF THIS YEAR ALL COMMENTS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO LISA ROSS HER EMAIL ADDRESS IS HERE IN THE PRESENTATION AS WELL AS HER MAILING ADDRESS. IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU THINK MAYBE NEED TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THAT ACTION THAT AREN'T IN IT, WE CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE TO PROVIDE WRITTEN COMMENTS AND ALSO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO TO A PUBLIC HEARING AT THE STATE THEY ARE HAVING

[01:35:09]

THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM WILL HAVE THE LION'S SHARE OF THAT $19.7 MILLION AND THEY BASICALLY HAVE FOUR SET ASIDES OR ACTUALLY FIVE SET ASIDES THAT YOU CAN PERCEIVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECTS IN THE FIRST SET OF SOME COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE THERE'S $10.9 MILLION AVAILABLE IN THAT APPLICATION REQUEST DEADLINES ARE MARCH 17 AND APPLICATION FULL DEADLINES ARE APRIL 17TH. THIS IS OUR WATER SEWER DRAINAGE PROJECT WHICH BLUFFTON HAS UTILIZED TREMENDOUSLY IN THE PAST. THERE'S THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF $1 MILLION THAT YOU CAN APPLY FOR NOW UNDER THIS PROGRAM AND CAN BE LOOKED AT UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES IN THAT PROGRAM TO UP THAT MAX EVEN FURTHER.

COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT HAS $3 MILLION SET ASIDE FOR IT. THIS IS OUR FALL FACILITY IS SET ASIDE OUR APPLICATION REQUEST DEADLINES AUGUST 15TH AND OUR FULL DEADLINES ARE SEPTEMBER BASICALLY IN THIS PROGRAM THERE THREE STATE PRIORITIES THAT THEY LOOK AT.

ONE IS INCREASING ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS. THE SECOND PRIORITY IS ADDRESSING EDUCATION AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ISSUES AND THE THIRD PRIORITY IS TO ADDRESS SAFE SAFE AND HEALTHY COMMUNITIES AND SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE LISTED THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF THE TYPES OF PRIORITIES THAT WE CAN DO UNDER OR THE TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT WE CAN DO UNDER THE SET ASIDE. SO WE CAN LOOK AT THINGS LIKE STREETSCAPE, WE COULD LOOK AT DEMOLITION OF WHAT WE CALL WHITE ELEPHANT BUILDINGS THAT ARE OWNED BY A PUBLIC ENTITY. WE COULD ALSO DEMOLITION OF RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURES THAT ARE CONSIDERED ATTRACTIVE NUISANCES THAT ARE VACANT UNDER THE PROGRAM FIRE SUBSTATIONS, FIRE TRUCKS, LIBRARIES, A NUMBER OF FACILITY TYPE PROJECT .

THE MAXIMUM FUNDING HERE IS $750,000. THAT IS AN INCREASE FROM LAST WHICH IS PROBABLY A LONG TIME COMING DUE TO CONSTRUCTION ISSUES BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT MANY BUILDINGS YOU CAN DO NOW FOR $500,000 AND HAVEN'T BEEN FOR A LONG TIME.

THEN OUR NEXT SET ASIDE THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT LOCAL PRIORITIES.

THERE'S $1 MILLION ALLOCATED HERE. THIS IS WHAT USED TO BE SPECIAL PROJECTS BASICALLY RENAMED THIS AND OUR PRIORITIES THEIR FALL DEADLINE REQUEST AGAIN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER BUT OUR PRIORITIES HERE ARE TO LOOK AT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY PROJECTS ARE THINGS THAT SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT THAT ARE ELIGIBLE UNDER BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AND THEN THERE'S ALSO PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY TYPE PROJECTS WE CAN DO SIDEWALK PROJECTS UNDER THE SET ASIDE WE CAN STILL DO SOME HISTORIC PRESERVATION UNDER THIS DESIGN. THE NEW THING THAT THEY'VE ADDED IN HERE IS THIS RESILIENCY AND NARROWING THE NATURE DIGITAL DIVIDE A HIT THAT I THINK BASICALLY WE HAVEN'T GIVEN BEEN GIVEN LOT OF INSTRUCTION OR DIRECTION ABOUT THAT BUT I THINK BASICALLY WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR THERE IS TRYING TO BRING BROADBAND RURAL AREAS THAT MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT. NOW MAXIMUM FUNDING MANAGED $300,000.

SO THAT'S GONE UP SLIGHTLY THERE. OUR NEXT ASSIGNMENT TO TALK ABOUT IS NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION. THIS AGAIN IS ATHOL DID ONE YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A PROJECT LIKE RIGHT NOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CLOSE AND HOPEFULLY OUR MONITORING TOMORROW AND WRAP THIS UP SO WITH THIS YOU HAVE TO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF A

[01:40:02]

LANCE SAYS WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS UNDER COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT IS READY TO GO THIS IS OUR NONCOMPETITIVE PROGRAM BASICALLY YOU CAN PROCEED WITH ANYTHING THAT'S LISTED UNDER COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE OR COMMUNITY ENRICHMENT. THE IDEA BEING BEHIND IS THAT YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING BUT FOR HAVING A CHAIR THAT YOU CAN START WORK 60 DAYS OF A GRANT AWARD SO YOU'VE DONE YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL VIEW, YOU'VE DONE ALL OF YOUR ACQUISITION, YOU'VE DONE ALL OF YOUR DUE DILIGENCE ,YOUR PERMITTING, YOUR BID PLANS TOGETHER, THAT KIND OF THING AND THE PROJECT TYPICALLY IS SOMETHING THAT CANNOT WAIT TILL A REGULAR COMPETITIVE FUNDING ROUND. SO MAYBE YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF A PRESSING WATER SEWER DRAINAGE ISSUE THAT CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT SPRING AND YOU NEED TO WORK ON IT NOW KIND OF THING. ALL PROJECTS UNDER THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS REQUIRE 10% MATCH BOTH. IT'S ALWAYS AND VERY GOOD AT OVER MATCHING AND THAT'S HELPED WITH THEIR SCORING IN ROUNDS THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM HAS $2 MILLION IN IT THIS IS NON COMPETITIVE AS WELL JUST LIKE OUR READY TO GO PROGRAM YOU BASICALLY MAKE AN APPLICATION REQUEST AND YOU HAVE TO TURN IT IN 30 DAYS LATER BUT THE IDEA THIS PROGRAM IS THAT YOU'RE ADDRESSING ARE YOU PUTTING IN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE TO HELP NEW OR EXPANDING BUSINESSES THAT ARE CREATING JOBS AND INVESTING THE COMMUNITY MONETARILY TO BE TO DO THE THINGS THAT THEY NEED TO DO? THAT BEING SAID, TYPICALLY THIS PROGRAM MAXES AT $10,000 PER JOB COMMITTED. THOSE COMPANIES THAT COMMIT JOBS AND COMMIT IN VESTMENT THEY HAVE TO SIGN PERFORMANCE AGREEMENTS WITH THE STATE AND THE TOWN STATING THAT IF THEY DON'T MEET THESE COMMITMENTS THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO PAY THIS MONEY BACK . THE JOBS THAT ARE CREATED HERE 51% OF THEM HAVE TO GO TO LOW TO MODERATE INCOME PEOPLE MEANING THESE HAVE TO BE THE TYPE OF JOB THEY COME CDBG QUALIFYING JOBS 51% OF THEM HAVE TO BE THE TYPE OF JOBS THAT CAN BE DONE WITH A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA IN A YEAR EXPERIENCE WORK SO WHILE SOME, A LOT OF THEM ARE MORE SKILLED TRAINING JOBS. AND THEN FINALLY THE REMAINING MONEY OF THE $19.7 MILLION $500,000 OF IT GOES INTO OUR REGIONAL PLANNING.

THAT IS MONEY THAT'S DIVIDED AMONG THE TEN COLLEAGUES OF WHICH LOWCOUNTRY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS IS ONE SO THAT WE CAN DO THESE PUBLIC HEARINGS WE CAN MEET WITH STAFF WHEN THERE ARE PROJECTS THAT THEY WANT TO DEVELOP AND ALSO SO WE CAN HOST DEVELOPMENT DAYS WILL HAVE ONE OF THOSE PROBABLY LATE SPRING EARLY SUMMER FOR THIS REGION AND THEN THE REMAINING MONEY GOES TO STATE ADMINISTRATION AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ALLOW THEM TO COME DOWN MEETINGS AND HELP US DEVELOP PROJECTS AS WELL OPPORTUNITY ZONES ARE STILL UNDER THE SCORING CRITERIA RECEIVING BONUS POINTS WHEN WE COMPETE FOR AN APPLICATION AND SO THAT'S STILL IN PLACE AND PERFORMANCE THRESHOLDS STILL IN PLACE SO BASICALLY A COMMUNITY

[01:45:05]

WE SUBMIT OUR PLAN JUST LIKE THE STATE ACTION PLAN NOW FOR CDBG TO HUD IN APRIL.

SO IF THERE ARE THINGS THAT YOU THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER FOR YOUR AREA WHILE WE'RE DOING THAT WE ASK THAT YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH US IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER YOU DISCUSS THAT WITH YOUR STAFF AND THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE AS FAR OUR NEEDS ASSESSMENT LET ME DO A PUBLIC HEARING AND. WE WILL GET QUESTIONS ON FIRST CALL FOR PUBLIC HEARING FOR ITEM 11 ONE WHICH IS THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR HOUSING, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. LET'S SPEAK TO PUBLIC THANK YOU CAN CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT FOR THIS PUBLIC HEARING ITEM 11 ONE AND THIRD AND FINAL CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE ITEM 11 PUBLIC HEARING THE FINAL READING OF THE BLOCK, THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT FOR HOUSING, PUBLIC FACILITIES AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC HEARINGS CLOSED QUESTIONS RELATED RIGHT RIGHT AGAIN 123456. WE'VE DONE THE BUT ARE THERE QUESTIONS OF MICHELLE AND IT'S THAT WE'RE GOING NOW IS TO RANK THE SAME QUESTION I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE 19 MEAN THAT YOU MENTIONED IN THE BEGINNING OF THE PRESENTATION THAT IS SPREAD OUT THROUGH ALL RIGHT AND IT IS SPREAD OUT ALL THE NON ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE I THINK RIGHT NOW BETWEEN COUNTIES AND TOWNS THERE'S A TOTAL OF 17 ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITIES AND THEY DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS SET ASIDE IN OUR REGION THE ONLY ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY THAT WE HAVE THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AND I THINK THEY GET ROUGHLY I THINK IT'S AROUND 200,000 A YEAR IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. SO THEY RUN THEIR OWN PROGRAM STATE BUSINESS AND THEY SET THEIR OWN PRIORITIES SO THEY DON'T COMPETE AGAINST US AND THEN I'D HAVE TO I'D HAVE TO ACTUALLY LOOK THEM UP AND READ THEM. I CAN GIVE YOU A GOOD GET I THINK YES I CAN PROBABLY HIT THREE FOURTHS OF THEM WITHOUT. ARE THEY ON YOUR SITE?

I THINK THAT'S THE RIGHT WORD FOR IT. I'M NOT AN ENGINEER SO GOING TO BASICALLY CLEAN THAT UP NOT MAINTAIN IT BUT BASICALLY CLEAN IT UP AND WE HAD ALREADY DONE THE LIGHTING WE'D ALREADY DONE THE SIDEWALKS FOR BERTHA SO OUR BUDGET BASICALLY DECREASED BY ABOUT $96,000 AT THIS POINT HAD OUR FINANCIAL MONITORING WE WILL HAVE OUR PROGRAM TOMORROW AND WE ANTICIPATE BEING TO EASILY CLOSE THIS BEFORE THE END OF THIS FIRST QUARTER OF THE CALENDAR YEAR IF IT DOESN'T CLOSE IT WON'T BE BECAUSE OF ANYTHING GOING ON WITH THE TOWN OR THE CARGILL BE A STATE ISSUE OR GETTING THE CONTRACTOR BACK OUT.

[XIII 1. Consideration of Approval for a Contract Awarded to Vendor 8x8 for Upgrade to Town Phone System - Tracye Stormer, Director of IT]

[01:55:08]

IT LOOKS LIKE THE CURRENT TELECOM SYSTEM IS NOW TEN YEARS OLD.

AN RFP WAS ISSUED EARLIER LAST YEAR IN MARCH WE HAD ABOUT 25 RESPONDENTS.

EIGHT BY EIGHT WAS VOTED THE BEST VENDOR. SO THE STATE IS RECOMMENDING THAT TOWN COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE TOWN MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH A GLOBAL CLOUD COMMUNICATIONS TO UPGRADE THE TOWN'S TELEPHONE SYSTEM IN THE AMOUNT OF 177 877 349 THAT WAS A 40% NOW THAT'S OVER FIVE YEARS. IT'S A 61 MONTH CONTRACT.

IN ADDITION, STAFF REQUESTS 10% CONTINGENCY ALLOWANCE TO COVER ANY UNFORESEEN CHANGES THAT MIGHT THAT MAY ARISE AN APPROVAL WE WILL GET THE CONTRACT, GET IT TO THE COMPANY AND BEGIN SCHEDULING AND ORDERING OF EQUIPMENT AND QUESTIONS.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE END OF FIVE YEARS YOU WILL HAVE TO DO ANOTHER RFP OR EXECUTING THE CONTRACT SO THEN IF WE DON'T LIKE THEM THEN WE WILL LOOK TO MOVE ON SO THEY THEY EXPIRE SO TO SPEAK AT FIVE YEARS. ARE WE LEASING THEM OR WHERE WE ARE LEASING? YES. SO THIS IS A LEASE NOT A PURCHASE.

YES. AND THE REASON HAD TO COME FROM AGO BECAUSE OVER THE FIVE YEARS BUT EACH INDIVIDUAL YEAR IT WILL BE UNDER 25,000 PER YEAR. SO WITH THE SAVINGS OF ABOUT $25,000 PER YEAR FOR THE TOWN FROM CURRENT SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT WOULD ALL PURCHASING WE ARE GETTING TELEPHONES AND FOR THOSE WHO WANT THEIR PHONES WE'RE GETTING HITS IT'S AND SOME USERS WHO HAVE TOWN ISSUED CELL PHONES BE ABLE TO FORWARD THEIR DEATH CALLS TO THEIR CELL PHONES OR THEIR CELL PHONES WILL ACTUALLY BECOME THEIR DESK PHONES. BUT THAT LAST QUESTION. YES, SIR.

I GOT RID OF MY HOME PHONE. I MEAN YEAH. BECAUSE CELL PHONE IS SO CONVENIENT. YES WHILE WHILE WE ARE STILL USING JUST WELL SOME PEOPLE THAT PREFER THEM AND REMEMBER WE GET LIKE CUSTOMER SERVICE EVERYTHING.

SO THERE'S SOME AREAS THAT DO NEED DESK PHONES. YOU'RE STILL AT THE SOURCE OF FAX IN OUR OFFICE LIKE THE CONFERENCE ROOMS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF AS WELL.

ALSO THE MAINTENANCE OF THE OFFICE AS A COVERED AS WELL. YES EVERYONE YEAH I WAS GOING TO ASK WHY ARE WE SPENDING AS MUCH MONEY ON I MEAN WELL I CAN LOOK AT MY OFFICE FACT TELL I CAN GIVE YOU FUNDS ABOUT USING IT YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? OKAY UM YOU CAN ADD TO THAT BECAUSE KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO GO BACK. THAT'S GOOD.

IS THERE A MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE TOWN MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE LOCAL CLOUD COMMUNICATIONS FOR UPGRADE OF THE TOWN'S DESK PHONE SYSTEM? THE AGREEMENT INCLUDES A COMMITMENT FROM THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON FOR $177,339.40 AND A 10% CONTINGENCY TO PAY TO BE PAID FROM THE APPROPRIATE TOWN FUNDS.

SO SECONDS BUT ANY DISCUSSION ON THE FIRST SET OF SAYING I DON'T THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT FOUND IT UM CHRIS DO YOU GOING TO DO A LITTLE SURVEY DO YOU WANT TO WAS THAT ON A PHONE

[XIII 2. Consideration of a Resolution in Support of a Letter to Bluffton’s Elected State Delegation Requesting the Introduction of Legislation to Allow Local Jurisdictions to Establish a Real Estate Transfer Fee – Chris Forster, Assistant Town Manager]

I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME BACKGROUND, SOME DISCUSSION AND I ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL.

SO TO GO BACK TO 1990, HILTON HEAD ISLAND PASSED A REAL ESTATE TRANSFER.

THE REASON FOR THIS WAS TO PURCHASE PROPERTY AND PRESERVE PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE ISLAND AND. I DON'T WANT THAT ON IT BUT THE FEE IS SET AT 0.25 OF 1% OF THE GROSS SALE PRICE OF A PROPERTY AND LIABILITY PER SERVED PAY THAT SO FOR EXAMPLE ON A

[02:00:04]

IT GOES ON TO SAY THAT PURPOSE IS TO ACQUIRE WHILE IT IS STILL AVAILABLE TO BE HELD IN PERPETUITY UM OR BELIEVE IT PLEASED TO BE NEEDED BY THE PUBLIC THE FUTURE AND ALSO TO ACQUIRE ALREADY REVOKED LAND OR DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS IN ORDER TO CONVERT PUBLIC STORE OPEN SPACE OR REDEFINE ACCORDANCE WITH THE TOWN'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SO THAT'S HOW THEY DEFINE NATIVE LAND USE OF THOSE FUNDS. THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND HAS COLLECTED OVER $87 MILLION SINCE 1990 AND AS OF LAST MARCH LAST YEAR SO IT'S PROBABLY WELL OVER 90 MILLION NOW THE TOWN HAS USED 76 MILLION TO PURCHASE OVER 1300 ACRES SO THE STATE GOT INVOLVED IN 1994 AND THEY ENACT THAT SOUTH KIND OF CODE SECTION 6-1- 70 WHICH PROHIBITED REAL ESTATE TRANSFER . SO FOR ANY GOVERNMENT ENTITY FROM IMPOSING THE TRANSFER OF REAL PROPERTY THEY DID ALLOW EXISTING FEES ENACTED PRIOR TO JANUARY 1ST AND THAT'S GOING TO REMAIN IN PLACE. I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THAT.

SO THESE WERE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE TOWN HAD HAS DOCUMENTED HAS THAT RESULTED FROM THIS FEE PRESERVATION OF OPEN SPACE, PUBLIC ACCESS TO WATERWAYS SPACE FOR PASSAGE OF AN ACTIVE RECREATIONAL NEEDS ,PRESERVING WILDLIFE HABITAT, PROTECT ENVIRONMENTAL SENSE OF LANDS, PROTECT CULTURALLY AND HISTORICALLY SITES PROVIDE MORE STORMWATER FILTRATION SPACE FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, DEMAND FOR PROPERTY VALUES HAVE INCREASED TOWN WIDE AND THERE'S DEMAND FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICE NEEDS. SO JUST TO LOOK AT IF WE HAVE SOMETHING IN PLACE IN PINE BLUFF OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS IT'S JUST FIVE OR COMPARISON WE WOULD HAVE RAISED $15 MILLION OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS IN 2021 ALONE WITH THE 5.7 MILLION. SO IF YOU LOOK OUR LAND ACQUISITION ACQUISITION BUDGET I WOULD HAVE HAD A SIMILAR IMPACT AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO THERE ALSO WE DID TAKE A LOOK AT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW COULD CASE BE MADE THAT FEE HAD SOME NEGATIVE IMPACT ON REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS OVER TIME THE BEST WE HAD IS THE HOUSING PRICE INDEX AT NATIONAL, STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL DATA ON THAT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE U.S. SINCE 1990 HOUSING PRICE INDEX INCREASED 29% SOUTH CAROLINA 237% AND I ESTIMATED 65%. SO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT SCIENTIFIC STUDY BUT JUST ROUGHLY AGING THERE'S NO IDENTIFIABLE NEGATIVE IMPACT FROM FROM THE BILLIONAIRE. SO IN YOUR PACKAGE WE INCLUDED A DRAFT OF THE LETTER LIKE TO SEND TO THE STATE DELEGATION OF CUSTOMERS TO A LOOK AT THIS ALLOWING OTHER JURISDICTIONS TO ENACT THEIR OWN FEE FOR QUESTION. LET ME FOLLOW UP ON A COUPLE OF THINGS. HILTON ACCESS TO AN TO GO TO THE STATE SUPREME COURT AND I THINK IT WAS THIS 8483 TAX WITH FAVORABLE HOUSING BUT I KNOW SCOTT SENATOR DAVIS SAID HE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS AS WELL THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY USAGE ON THIS BECAUSE HE'S GONE ABOUT EIGHT TAXED TO INCLUDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT WE MET WITH SENATOR DAVIS I THINK ALL OF YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY AND THIS WAS A POINT HE IS UNDERSTANDING NOW AND HE CAN SHOW THAT A REALTOR HAS EFFECT HAS AN EFFECT OF REAL ESTATE SALES ON HILTON WIRE HAS IT THAT THERE IS A CAP AND A DOUBLE CHECK THAT THERE IS A CAP OF $6,000 SO YOU CAN'T SELL 50 MILLION? THAT'S CORRECT. YEAH. SO WHAT IS A CAP SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT EQUATES TO OVER 6015 MILLION ON THE PROPERTY. YOU'RE GOING TO CAP THAT AT 6000 BUT HE DIDN'T THINK WE NEEDED TO DO THIS. BUT OF COURSE WE LIKE TO DO THINGS AND GET INTO THE RECORD AND I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS WE'VE HAD SO MANY NEW PEOPLE COMING IN AND OUT PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT HILTON A TRANSFER FEE SO THAT'S JUST MORE OF A BACKGROUND ON OUR TOP THREE IF I MAY THAT HILTON HAD COLLECTED WITH ONE

[02:05:06]

THEY PROBABLY NIPPED IN THE BUD OR AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TRACK RECORD THEY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TO SHOW THAT IT REALLY DID NOT INHIBIT AND I'M SURE THE LOBBYISTS WITH REAL ESTATE I'M SURE THAT PROBLEMS BUT IT IT DOESN'T BURDEN THE BUILDER IT BURDENS THE BUYER YOU KNOW IT'S A TRANSFER. I JUST EVEN IF WE USED IT FOR OPEN SPACE OR WHATEVER I JUST THINK IT'S A GREAT FOR WE'LL MAKE THAT FOR OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS WELL THAT'S THE INTERESTING THING TO SEE WHAT ELSE HE CAN TO IT FOR A YEAR THEY WOULD ALLOW HOME RULE IF THIS WAS SOMETHING THE DELEGATION THAT THE STATE COULD CHANGE THEN IT GOES IN TO THE CIVIL ASSOCIATION LET THEM FIGURE OUT THE BEST USES FOR EACH TOWN BUT I'M WITH ANYONE.

I THINK THE MORE IS THEIR MOTION FOR A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF A LETTER TO BOSTON'S ELECTED STATE TO REQUEST THE INTRODUCTION OF LEGISLATION TO ALLOW JURISDICTIONS TO ESTABLISH A REAL ESTATE TRANSFER FEE. SO YOUR SECOND SO YOU NEED TO

[XIII 3. Consideration of a Resolution to Authorize the Town Manager to Sign an Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Bluffton, Beaufort County and Beaufort Jasper Water Sewer Authority for the Construction of Sewer Infrastructure as Part of the Stoney Crest / Palmetto Bluff Rd. - Chris Forster, Assistant Town Manager]

THIS AREA WAS IDENTIFIED AS A KEY SOURCE OF FECAL COLIFORM CONTAMINATION IN THE NEW RIVER . THIS IS UNINCORPORATED COUNTY SO IT REQUIRES COORDINATION WITH THE COUNTY AS WELL AS THE WATER SEWER AUTHORITY WHICH IS WHY WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD TO GET SO THIS PROJECT WAS FIRST APPROVED BY THE TOWN OF WATER FOR OUR OUR THIRD WHILE ONE

[02:10:06]

WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE RESULTS OF THIS GRANT AND SO WERE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE OUTLINED PRETTY DELIBERATELY AND THOROUGHLY IS THE JUSTIFICATION FOR OUR PARTICIPATION PROGRAM AND THESE WHEREAS ARE ADDRESSED IN THE AGREEMENT BUT IF YOU GO OVER THEM HERE BUT FAILING SEPTIC HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT PUBLIC HEALTH ENVIRONMENT QUALITY OF LIFE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH. PART OF THE AGREEMENT HAVE ALL DOCUMENTED LEAKS FROM SEPTIC TANKS WITH INTEREST ON A CREEK WATERSHED PEOPLE COLIFORM FROM THESE LEAKS ARE HAVING NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON FISHING TOURISM AND RECREATIONAL BASED BUSINESSES AND THE RIVER WATERSHED ACTION PLAN IDENTIFIES ELIMINATION AND PART OF THE MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN SYSTEMS AS KEY TO PROTECTING THE WATER QUALITY IS REALLY THREE KEY TERMS TERMS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN AGREEMENT THAT'S WITHIN YOUR PACKET SO THE DATE OF YOUR TABLE SERVED AS THE PROJECT MANAGER OF THE PROJECT IS JURISDICTION WILL COMMIT THE PROJECT REGARDLESS OF THE VIABILITY OF GRANT FUNDING ALL GRANT EXPENDITURES WILL BE BORNE EQUALLY IN SCOPE CHANGES APPROVAL ALL PARTIES B.J. WC REGULATION REQUIRES PROPERTY WITHIN 300 FEET OF PUBLIC THIRD TO CONNECT ACKNOWLEDGE SOME COORDINATION WITH THE COUNTY IN HELPING TO UPHOLD THAT REQUIREMENT NOT MORE OFTEN THAN IT WAS FOR VW TO SAY WE'LL RECONCILE EXPENDITURES PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY AND TOWN AND WE WILL REIMBURSE OUR SHARE WITHIN 30 CALENDAR DAYS AND A UNRESOLVED ACCUMULATION. SO THOSE ARE THE KEY TERMS WITHIN THAT AGREEMENT. THE TENTATIVE SCHEDULE WAS DEFINED DURING THE GRANT APPLICATION PROCESS AND IT WAS ALSO WITHIN THE AGREEMENT AND FINAL IS IDENTIFIED FOR MARCH 24 FINAL PERMITTING DONE BY JUNE 24 THE FIRST STATION BIDS SEPTEMBER 24 AND NO LATER CONSTRUCTION START DATE OF JUNE 1ST OF 25 ANY QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION ON THE REQUIRED ASSESSMENT? SO IT SAID THERE FOR JASPER WITH A 300 SEAT CONNECTION MANDATED THAT THERE'S NO POLICY BY THE COUNTY HE HAS NO CONNECTION POLICY IS THAT STILL TRUE SO HE CAN BE WITHOUT BEING WITHIN 300 FEET AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CONNECT EVEN IF THE IS OUT THERE ON THE HIGHWAY NEAR YOU SOMEWHERE THREE TWO FEET OF HAS THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSION WITH THE COUNTY ABOUT PASSING IT CONNECTION POLICY DISCUSSION THAT'S NOT FINISHED THEY COULD MAKE IN THIS IDEA SO I THINK THEY WILL IT AS THAT LEVEL AND WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT TO PUT IT FORWARD TO THEIR COUNCIL. I THINK THE IMPORTANT THINGS FOR THE IDEA TO FIND A MUTUAL CONSENT OF ALL JURISDICTIONS AND THEN IT AS REGARDLESS OF GRANT FUNDS AND A TIMELINE. SO THAT WAS THE FOCUS OF THIS IDEA PRIMARILY I WILL SAY THAT THE FOR JASPER SO IT REALLY DOES HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CHARGE FEES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY'RE CONNECTED TO THE SEWER THAT'S KIND OF THEIR THEIR HAMMER FOR FOR ENFORCING THIS I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE A HARDSHIP POLICY AS WELL I THINK AND I BELIEVE THEY ALSO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO CONDEMN OR EXPROPRIATE OKAY THE QUESTION NOW MOLLY I THOUGHT WAS NUMBERS BUT I GUESS WE JUST HAVEN'T THAT FAR SO THIS IS THE FIRST THING TO THANK YOU ALL AND EVERYBODY ELSE FOR FINALLY MOVING SOMEWHERE. I WISH IT WASN'T ANOTHER TWO YEARS BEFORE THEY START CONSTRUCTION BUT IT'S IN A MAYBE MAYBE IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TWO YEARS YOU KNOW MAYBE MAYBE SOME WOULD HAVE BEEN EIGHT COME OFF WHO DECIDED IT BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR FIVE YEARS BUT SOME BLOKE OUT OF PROBABLY FIVE

[02:15:04]

OKAY YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT. THAT'S AS WE WERE PUTTING THE SKIP GRANT TOGETHER THAT CAME FROM THEIR ENGINEER AS WELL AS ALSO TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WITH CURRENT PROJECTS SCOPE OF THIS ARE TAKING THEM TO GET THROUGH WITH MATERIALS PERMITTING AND ALL OF THAT SO THEY DROVE THE SCHEDULE SO THE ENGINEERING COULD NOT NEW MATERIALS NEAR THOSE SO THAT STARTED A LITTLE EARLIER THAN THE REST OF IT COULD START A LITTLE EARLIER TO LAY OUT THE ENGINEERING STARTING WHAT 15 MONTHS FROM NOW DESIGN THEY DO AT LEAST HAVE SEVERAL MEASURES IN PLACE ALREADY WITH DESIGN FIRMS SO AT LEAST THERE'S NOT THE PROCUREMENT SYSTEM THAT IS JUST A MATTER THEM DETERMINING WHICH ONE OF THEIR ON ON CONTRA AND ENGINEER FIRMS WOULD DESIGN IT SO WE HAD THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN OF THIS AS PART OF THE MAY RIVER WATERSHED SEWER MASTERPLAN THAT THERE ARE NO ENGINEERED DESIGNS FOR A VACUUM SYSTEM AND SO THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT. IT JUST HAS NOT COME THROUGH ENGINEER DESIGN AT ALL YET AND THEY DID UPDATE THE ESTIMATES SO THE PRODUCT DURING THAT PROCESS AND I BELIEVE IT'S $10.9 MILLION FOR TOTAL PROJECT COST AND THE SCOPE BELIEVE INCLUDES SOMEWHERE AROUND 130 TO 150 CONNECTIONS IT WAS QUESTION AND WHERE DOES IT LAST FOR AS WE ARE THE FIRST ONES TO APPROVE IT WE RECEIVED AT ITS REVIEW FOR JASPER WORKING WITH FINALIZING SOME EDITS WITH COUNTY AND THEIR GOAL IS TO HAVE IT ON THEIR NEXT MEETING SO THAT WE CAN GET THIS DONE BEFORE. THE FIRST ONES THAT WE'LL BE PUSHING THIS THROUGH IN A PRETTY AND THAT'S WHY THE LANGUAGE IN THERE KIND OF GIVES SOME FLEXIBILITY SO LONG AS IT DOESN'T MATERIALLY CHANGE IT BECAUSE WE ARE ANTICIPATING SOME EDITS FROM THE COUNTY THAT MAY ADDRESS A FEW THINGS THAT WON'T CHANGE THE SCOPE THE SCHEDULE THE FINANCING BUT JUST IN CASE THERE'S MANY EDITS WE WANT TO BRING IN AND THE QUESTIONS I LIKE TO GO ON THE RECORD SUPPORT WITH LARRY IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE TIMELINE BECAUSE BEING THAT THIS IS THREE PARTS THE ENTITY IS IS WORKING ON THIS SO LIKE IT SHOULD GET A LITTLE BIT MORE PRIORITY OR TIMELINE OKAY THE TIMELINE IS THE CONTRACTOR THAT FOR YOUR PRESENTATION TO THAT'S WHERE YOU THINK IT IS IT IS IN THE CONTRACT I WOULD WORK ON I WOULD TRY TO TWEAK THAT WITH Y'ALL ARE GOING TO GO BACK TO MAKE IT SOONER AND I THINK THOSE ARE QUITE CONSERVATIVE BUT WE'RE GOING TO PUSH AS MUCH AS WE CAN BUT AGAIN BEING THE PROJECT MANAGER WE CAN PUSH HIM SO FAR BUT WAS BEHOLDEN TO THEM TO RUN THE PROJECT WE'RE GOING TO PUSH WILL PUSH THE DATE AS MUCH AS WE CAN GET KIND OF WILLING TO SAY YEAH WOULD SAY IF YOU WANT TO REACH OUT TO YOUR COUNTERPARTS THEY CAN FEEL THEIR EMOTIONS TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT IN MONTANA BLUFFTON FOR JASPER WATER SEWER AUTHORITY AND COUNTY EQUAL SHARE OF THE COST TO TRANSITION SEWER CONNECTIONS AWAY FROM SEPTIC AND STONY CREEK WATERSHEDS LONG AS THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT DOES NOT MATERIALLY DIFFER FROM WHAT WAS HEREIN SO SO YOU WANT TO MOVE ON AND SECOND ANY DISCUSSION YOU'LL SEE THIS BEFORE WE WE HAD KNOW THE END OF IT I'M HERE IT'S MY MOTTO IS DO GOOD THINGS TO GET THINGS DONE AND THIS WILL REMAIN ON THE TABLE AT THE SAME TIME. SHE SAYS SHE MIGHT HEAR YOU HEAR HER CLASS AS WELL WELL WHAT IS YOUR NAME? VALERIE.

AND ARE YOU IN SCHOOL OR ARE YOU JUST REALLY YOUNG LIKE I SAW THE CAPSTONE WHEN I DID I WASN'T SURE. WELL IF YOU NEED ANYTHING SIGNED WILL SIGN IT AND YOU NEED TO SEND TEACHER A LETTER THAT YOU SAID THE WHOLE ENTIRE MEETING FROM O'CLOCK ON WE WILL SEE THAT IT'S JUST PUNISHMENT.
