THEY SHOULD MEAN WE'RE ON JANUARY 18TH 2023 WE HAVE CALLED ROLL CALL PLEASE ZERO HERE OVER DOING YOUR HERE HERE HERE NOT EXCUSE ME SO NOT EXCUSE OF PRESIDENT MY TURN TO TALK ABOUT MR. STROMAN YOU KNOW AS CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE OF PLEASURE GIVING TO KNOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU ARE BUT IN SOME CASES THAT TO KNOW YOUR FAMILY AND IN PARTICULAR YOUR WIVES WELL AND THROUGH THAT PERIOD OF TIME IT HAS BEEN A PLEASURE TO KNOW EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS ONE TIME WHICH I'M REALLY SADDENED TO REPORT ON JOE HAD A CALL FROM JOE'S WIFE RIGHT AROUND THANKSGIVING AND ALL SHE WOULD TELL ME AT THAT POINT TIME IS THAT JOE WAS GOING INTO USC AND GOING TO HAVE SURGERY AND OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS OF GREAT CONCERN TO ME AND SHE WOULDN'T DIVULGE ANY MORE.
I SPOKE TO HER IN DECEMBER BEFORE CHRISTMAS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN DECEMBER AND AFTER THAT SHE ELABORATED ON WHAT HAD BASICALLY TRANSPIRED. JOE WAS FOUND TO HAVE HAD A SERIOUS TUMOR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HIS BRAIN AND JOE WAS ON IN DECEMBER AND BASICALLY THEY HE JOKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR SON JOKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT BECAUSE HAD BEEN A BIOLOGY TEACHER THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE AND IF JOE COULD HAVE TALKED HE WOULD HAVE BEEN TELLING WAS GOING ON WITH HIM BECAUSE HE'D LOST ALL THE FUNCTIONS HIS RIGHT SIDE OF HIS BODY.
I SPOKE TO THEM ON MONDAY EVENING AND THE GOOD NEWS IS JOE IS HOME WITH WIFE AND IT APPEARS IT WILL BE A LONG TERM FOR HIM TO GET BETTER TO SAY THE LEAST.
AND SO I SPOKE TO COUNCILMAN DAWSON ABOUT IT AND HE WILL WORK WITH THE FAMILY AS WELL AS HE WILL PROBABLY APPOINT SOMEBODY TO FILL THIS POSITION .
IT IS IN OUR TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT SOMEBODY MISSES TWO MEETINGS.
THEY CAN BE REMOVED WITH A LETTER FROM ME TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND I'M NOT GOING TO DO I'M GOING TO LET COUNCILMAN DAWSON HANDLE THAT IN HIS BUT I TEASED JOE HE GOT TO HIS WIFE WAS LAUGHING. I TEASED JOE I SAID JUST SOME TIME DROVE AND THAT'S WHERE HE SHOWS UP FOR OUR MEETING ALWAYS WATCHING AT HOME MINUTE BEFORE READY TO GO TO THE MEETING AND SHE SAID THAT JOE WAS ACTUALLY LAUGHING HE WAS TRYING TO TALK HE THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY COOL TO SEE RECOGNIZE EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON. SO I SIMPLY ASK YOU TO KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS. HE'S BEEN A GREAT COMMITTEE MEMBER AND HOPEFULLY YOU'LL BE ABLE TO RETURN AT SOME POINT IN TIME. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM MR. MCCAIN AND TODAY IT WAS INTENTIONAL. GIVE HIM A CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION WORK HAS NOT ONLY BEEN ON THIS COMMITTEE BUT I THINK THAT IF JIMMY TOLD THE TRUTH I THINK SHE ATTENDED SOME OF THE OTHER WITH THE CTSI BEFORE WE REFORMED RIGHT. YEAH HE WAS ALSO BRIEFLY ON THE LRT COMMITTEE AND THEN THE COUNTY SAID HE COULDN'T BE MORE SO HE'S BEEN THAT MUST BE I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS REALLY WHAT'S BEEN SEVEN AND SEVEN FOR HIM AND I THOUGHT HE HAD DONE AT LEAST FIVE OR SIX BEFORE THAT SO HE SERVED QUITE WELL AND WITH HONOR AND DISTINCTION OUR COMMITTEE AND HE WILL BE SADLY MISSED HIS VISION HIS VIEWS WILL BE SADLY MISSED BUT LIFE DRIVES ON AS YOU SAY. SO THAT TAKES US THROUGH THE
[00:05:06]

CHAIRMAN AGAIN LIKE YOU SAID WE'RE TRYING TO RE FROM THE LAST MEETING WE SIMPLIFIED THE FORMAT OF THIS A LITTLE BIT AND SO WE'RE STILL TWEAKING IT BUT ESSENTIALLY IT'S GOING TO BE WITHOUT TAKING OUT THE THIS SLIDE CLOSING SLIDE YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY DOING THREE SLIDES ASSUMING THERE'S NOT SO MANY PROJECTS THAT WERE ON THE MULTIPLE SLIDES BUT YOU'VE GOT PROJECTS CLOSE OUT, YOU'VE GOT ACTIVE CONTRACTS, YOU'VE UPCOMING CONTRACTS, YOU HAVE OTHER CONTRACTS THAT ARE FAR ENOUGH OFF. THEY'RE NOT REALLY IN STATUS OR THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY MY PROJECT BUT A DIFFERENT RESONANCE SUCH AS CROSS ON AND YOU GOT DISCUSSION AGAIN.
ALL RIGHT WHAT IS THAT PROJECT YOU'VE GOT FIVE, SIX, 56990 THIS ONE HAD FINAL INSPECTION MONTH AND THOSE ARE NOW FOUR PUNCH LIST ITEMS NOT MUCH TO DO FOR THIS WAS SPREAD ACROSS BEFORE THAT JASPER YOU'VE GOT A LIST HERE SO THIS SHOULD BE RELATIVELY QUICK CLOSE OUT HOPEFULLY SO WE DON'T HAVE COMMENT FOR ANY OF THOSE STREETS AND SO ANY CONCERNS QUESTIONS JUST GOOD. ALL RIGHT ACTIVE CONTRACTS 075 4230 YEARS TO 78.
THIS IS PRIMARILY INTERSECTION SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS I'D SAY PROBABLY A BIG HIGHLIGHT.

THEIR CURRENT THE BIG ONE FOR THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD LATELY BEEN DOWN IN SQUATTER INTERSECTION TRYING TO GET THAT CLEANED UP THE BIG HOLD UP THERE JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF ISSUE WITH NIGHTTIME CONCRETE SUPPLY . I'M NOT HIDING THAT IT'S THE CONCRETE SUPPLIERS TO MOVE THIS WAY A LITTLE BIT. THE CONCRETE SUPPLIERS CAN
[00:10:07]
FRANKLY MAKE MORE MONEY DURING THE DAY. AND SO IT'S WE'VE BEEN IN THE PROCESS TRYING TO GET A NEW CONCRETE SUPPLIER IN AND SO THAT'S WHY SOME OF THOSE AREAS THAT GOT OPENED UP HAVE TAKEN SO LONG TO CLOSE UP. BUT HOPEFULLY WE'RE AT THE TAIL END OF FIXING THAT ISSUE SO THEY THEY'RE ACTUALLY AFTER ACTIVELY OUT THERE OVER THE LAST WEEK TRYING TO GET READY TO POUR CONCRETE THERE. SO THERE'S ACTIVITY SHOULD BE PICKING UP AND THEN ALSO COORDINATING THE TOWN OF HILL TO TRY AND MAKE HERITAGE WEEK A LITTLE BIT EASIER 0761610 THIS IS THE RESURFACING WORK GOING DOWN FROM 278 FROM GUM TREE DOWN TO INDIGO RUN IS AREA ONE AND YOU'VE GOT AREA TWO WE HAVE NOT TOUCHED YET OTHER THAN MARKING IT DOWN FURTHER INTO HILL THE APEX THE CONTRACTOR THERE THEY HAVE A CONTRACT COMPLETION OF JUNE OF 23.

WE'LL BE ACCEPTING THAT HOPEFULLY SOON AND THEN THEY'VE GOT A WHOLE LIST OF OTHER ROADS WITHIN DOWN END JASPER TO GO TO BUT WE DON'T HAVE ANY START DATE FOR THOSE OTHER ROADS YET SO UPCOMING PROJECTS 566 3110 THIS IS A LOT OF RESURFACING THIS CONTRACT FROM THE HARRIET TUBMAN BRIDGE IN COUNTY ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SPEEDWAY IN JASPER COUNTY AND OUT TO HILTON HEAD. SO THIS ONE IS LITERALLY EVERYWHERE BUT IT'S A LOT OF RESURFACING RECONSTRUCTION SO NEXT 10763010 THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF 278 RESURFACING . THIS ONE HAS A COMPLETION DATE OF JULY 23 SO A FACT WE LITERALLY BE ROLLING CONTINUOUSLY TRYING TO MINIMIZE THE JOINT CREATION FROM AREA TO END OF THIS CONTRACT SO. WE'RE DOING A LITTLE BIT OF WORK AROUND WITH THE CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC SIGNAGE, TRY AND MINIMIZE THE CONFUSION OF THE TRAVELING PUBLIC SO ON ON SEVEN 129 ORLEANS CAUSEWAY THAT'S CTSI FUNDED PART OF THAT WORK WE GAVE THEM WHAT SIX $13,000 I THINK TOWARDS IT. SO THAT SUM RIGHT ELIZABETH YES .

WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT LATER ON AND ITS RELEVANCY SO WE'LL KEEP MOVING TO AND GREAT I HAVE NO ONE'S GOT ANY COMMENTS THIS ONE NEXT LOT 566 3740 IT'S GOT A WORD OF THE CAROLINA PAVEMENT MARKINGS ARE UP THERE UP OUT OF THE MYRTLE BEACH AREA RIGHT NOW WE'RE SIMPLY IN THE COORDINATION THIS IS A DISTRICT WIDE CONTRACT FOR PAVEMENT MARKINGS AND. SO THERE WAS ONE PRIOR CONTRACT GOT COORDINATED OUT OF ONE OF OUR CHARLESTON OFFICES FOR CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW DISTRICT SIX MAINTENANCE IS WORKING WITH ELIZABETH AND THE OTHER ARM NEEDS TO GET A LIST TOGETHER OF ALL THE ROADS I NEED PAVEMENT DONE ON AND SO HOPEFULLY I HAVE THAT LIST BY THE EVENING AND NEXT MONTH BUT BEFORE COUNTY IS ON TOP OF THAT LIST FOR GETTING PAVEMENT
[00:15:01]

OKAY? ALL RIGHT.QUESTIONS ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME ? THANKS MIKE FOR USING FORMAT USER THREAD FOR US STANDARDIZE THINGS FOR US IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CHANGES FOR ME MR. CHAIRMAN, JUST LET ME. YOU'RE ON. THANK YOU, SIR.
DIRT ROAD PROJECTS 5253. RIGHT. WELL, THAT'S FREE RESURFACING.
BUT I'LL GO THROUGH THE DIRT ROADS REAL QUICK. SO DIRT ROAD 52 IS COMPLETE WE'RE JUST WAITING ON THE CLOSEOUT DOCUMENTS AND THEN WE'LL GET THOSE ROADS TURNED BACK OVER TO THE COUNTY CLOSE OUT DIRT ROAD 53 WHICH IS RAINBOW ROAD NORTHVIEW IN TWICKENHAM IS IN DESIGN CURRENTLY WE HAVE A MEETING ABOUT ONE OF THE ROADS TOMORROW AND THEN THAT SHOULD BE GETTING CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY LATER ON IN SPRING AND HOPEFULLY ALL ROADS BE FINISHED BY THE END OF THE YEAR AND THEN DIRT ROAD 54 WHICH IS ROCKING OF SCHOOL ROAD CHURCH ROAD AND FRANCIS JONES ON THE HUSKY ISLAND BID DAY IT LOOKS LIKE WE GOT ONE BID. DON'T ALL THE DETAILS YET SO THAT SHOULD BE INTERESTING VERY DIFFICULT PROJECT ON EVERYTHING ACROSS THE BOARD EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE BARGE EQUIPMENT MATERIAL EVERYTHING SO WE'LL HAVE LOGISTICS ON THAT ONE ARE GOING TO BE TRICKY AND I PRESUME I'M PRESUMING THAT 2025 IS 55 I CAN'T SOURCE REPORT BUT YOU'RE GOING TO REFER TO IS YOUR 55 CONVOYS REPORT YEAR 2420 25 I THINK IS ACTUALLY GOING TO CONTRACT 5656 YEAH BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE BID CONTRACT FIVE THIS YEAR FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.
THE FIRST YEAR OF THAT SHOULD BE 56 I BELIEVE SO LAST MONTH WE GAVE YOU PRINT OF WHAT THE DIRT ROAD PAVING PROGRAM WOULD BE SO EVEN THE ADDRESS THAT SHOWING 2025 IS THEIR PROJECT THE 56 YEAH SO SO THAT'S DIRT ROADS NEXT IS THE CDC RESURFACING UPDATE SO FIVE IS COMPLETE WE'RE WORKING ON OUR CONTRACTORS WORKING ON THE PUNCH LIST AND CLOSE OUT ON THAT ONE YOU'RE ARE SIX RESURFACING SO BACKGROUND ON THAT ONE WE ARE WORKING ON OR TWO PAVEMENT EVALUATION AFTER ME PERFORM EVALUATION OF COUNTY ROADS AND I'VE UPDATE ON TWICE FIRST ONE IS YEARS ONE THROUGH FIVE YEAR FIVE WHICH IS COMPLETED YEAR SIX IS JUST PAID AND THEN THERE'S ALSO THE REPORT PREPARED BY AMTI WHICH IS THE LESS THAN 580 LOW VOLUME SIDOTI SECONDARIES. RIGHT. SO WE HAVE COMBINED THOSE TWO PLANS YEAR SIX OF THE FMC REPORT IN YEAR ONE OF THE AMTI REPORT INTO BOTH BIDDING THIS YEAR AND WE'VE SPLIT THAT UP INTO THREE DIFFERENT BID PACKAGES ONE IS RESURFACING WHICH IS JUST HOT MIX ASPHALT THIS ONE BID ON FRIDAY LAST FRIDAY SECOND ONE IS A REJUVENATE AIR WHICH IS MY PRODUCT WHICH IS THERE'S PROPRIETARY MATERIAL SO WE HAVE RECEIVED A BID FROM THAT SUPPLIER AND THEN THIS THIRD ONE IS GOING TO BE A PRESERVATION CONTRACT WHICH GOING TO INCLUDE MICRO SURFACING AND SCRUB SEAL WHICH THAT ONE BIDS ON FEBRUARY 14TH . YOU GOT NEXT SLIDES HERE.
SO AS I SAID WE RECEIVED BIDS RESURFACING ON FRIDAY. THERE WERE TWO BIDDERS IN THE LOW BID WAS BLYTHE IT CAME IN JUST OVER $3.5 MILLION. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BREAKUP OF WATTS COUNTY ROADS WHAT IS ON SIDOTI ROAD'S THE COUNTY ROAD PORTION OF IT CAME IN AT 1,289,000 AND THEN THE D.O.T. ROADS CAME IN AT 2 MILLION TO 219 FOR THIS CONTRACT WE ARE
[00:20:05]
INCLUDING A C I CONTRACT WHICH WE WERE DOING THROUGH THE COUNTY'S SEE I ON CALL F IN I MEAN HE IS GOING TO DO THE TESTING ON THIS FOR THE COUNTY PORTION IS $20,000 AND THEN ON THE D.O.T. PORTION IT'S GOING TO BE $52,000. OKAY.AS I SAID, THE SECOND ONE OF THOSE CONTRACTS IS PRESERVATION WHICH WILL BE ON FEBRUARY 14TH THESE ARE THE ROADS THAT ARE LISTED ON THAT CONTRACT.
SO COUNTY ROADS ON THE LEFT WHICH ARE GOING TO BE MICRO SURFACING AND THE SIDOTI ROAD'S ON THE RIGHT WHICH ARE SCRUB SEAL AND THEN THE NEXT ONE IS THE REJUVENATE HERE THIS IS ALL THE ROADS THAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE REJUVENATE FOR IT AND THAT CAME IN 319 FOR 8028 AND ALSO ON THE PRESERVATION WE WILL BE DOING CGI ON THAT ONE TESTING AND INSPECTION AND THAT WILL BE DONE BY ICE AGAIN UNDER THE COUNTY LINE CALL SO THE RECALL MIGHT THREE 319 K YES 319 FOR 8028 AND BREAK OUT FOR PAVING WAS 1.289 COUNTY AND 2.2194 D.O.T. THAT SOUNDS CORRECT. YES SIR I CAN GO BACK TO SITES TO BE SUMMARIZED IN THE MINUTES. YES THERE IS SOME OF MORE IN SOMEWHERE IN HERE SOMEWHERE IT MIGHT BE JUST BEEN JUST SOME OF THE BIDS AREN'T IN YET. YEAH I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE A CHART WITH YEAH WE'RE HEADED IN SAYING WE'RE GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION.
OKAY GOOD GOOD AND THAT'S WHAT I HAVE FOR THE THREE BIDS THAT ARE FOR THE THREE BIDS THAT WE'RE GOING TO PUT NOW AND HOPEFULLY WITH THE RESURFACING ONCE IT GOES HERE IN AND COUNCILS COUNCIL TO THE CONTRACTOR HOPEFULLY IN MARCH OKAY I GOING TO TURN TO MY TREASURER JIM NEWELL I'LL TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND. WHAT YOU'VE BEEN GOING OVER THIS YEAR? I'VE BEEN BRIAN SHARED THIS INFORMATION WITH ME OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND WE'VE DISCUSSED IT AND OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A NUMBER OF FACTORS THAT ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE BID COST BEING, YOU KNOW, SOMEWHAT SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN WHAT WE HAD. WE DO HAVE WE DO HAVE AS YOU KNOW, C FUND PROGRAM WE HAVE RIGHT NOW A BALANCE OF ALMOST $10 MILLION AND WE HAVE TO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF THE ADDITIONAL MONEY THAT WE GOT FROM FROM THE STATE FROM THEIR PROGRAM.
SO I THINK THE QUESTIONS BEFORE US IS KNOW WE DO HAVE THE FUNDING BUT IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WE WANT TO DO TO MAYBE ADJUST THE SCOPE TO GIVE US LITTLE BIT MORE COMFORT LEVEL WITH PARTICULARLY RESURFACING PROJECT BUT THAT'S THAT'S THE BIG ONE THAT'S KIND OF STRAINING STRENGTH AND BUDGET RIGHT NOW. I'M GOING TO DIGRESS NOW A LITTLE BIT AND I'M SHARING SOME INFORMATION WITH YOU ALL SO THERE IS A NUMBER OF MEMBERS OUR COMMITTEE DURING COVID THE NON SELF-ADMINISTERED SEATS HE'S HAD A TELEPHONE WITH THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WE HAD A LENGTHY CONVERSATION ABOUT AN HOUR ACTUALLY AND DURING THAT HOUR OF THE 24 COUNTIES THAT WERE SELF-ADMINISTERED I MEAN THEY HAVE COMMITTEES MONDAY I DON'T MANAGING IT I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND COUNTIES THAT SPENT BEYOND THEIR MEANS THEY HAD CONTRACTS PLACE AND THEY WERE BANKING ON THE FUNDING THAT THE CTC WAS GOING TO RECEIVE TO HELP MAKE CERTAIN THEY HAVE THE THE BILLS CURRENT FOR THAT YEAR AND OF THE 24 I THINK ALL TOLD TO THE SIX COUNTIES THAT WERE IN FINANCIAL FINANCIAL STRAITS THEY DID NOT PAY THEM BECAUSE OF THE OF PEOPLE MOVING AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE OF COVID IT DRAMATICALLY REDUCED IN FACT IT REDUCED THE FUNDING US SOMEWHERE ABOUT 1.1 MILLION THAT YEAR. SO WE PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN BASICALLY WHAT WE WERE TO DO BUT CHEROKEE COUNTY WAS ONE OF THEM THAT WAS REALLY IN VERY
[00:25:05]
DIRE STRAITS AND SO WAS HORRY COUNTY I REMEMBER VERY VIVIDLY SO MY CAUTION EVERYBODY IS AND BRIAN'S BEEN PUTTING UP WITH ME FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS HARPING ON THE FACT CAN'T OVERSPEND.I DON'T WANT TO OVERSPEND. WHAT IT MEANS IS BUT AT THE SAME TOKEN WE ARE OBLIGATED OF THE $5.8 MILLION THAT WE RECEIVED WE'RE REQUIRED TO SPEND $3.8 MILLION ONE DOT GRABS. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THAT'S DECIDED THAT WE DON'T GET ANY ON. THE OTHER THING I'LL SHARE WITH YOU AND IT GETS MISSED BRIAN YOU DEAL WITH THIS WHEN YOU STAND BACK AND REFLECT ON THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA I THINK GRAND TOTAL THERE'S ONLY 12 OR MAYBE 14 ASPHALT PLANTS IN THE WHOLE STATE AND SO THEY ARE THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND YOU KNOW WHEN YOU STAND BACK AND YOU STARTED BRIAN I WAS TALKING THE OTHER DAY ALL OF A SUDDEN HE STARTED COUNTING. HE SAID WELL WE GOT ONE HERE THEN HAVE ONE WATER BERM, WE GOT ONE CHARLESTON AND THAT'S KIND OF THE WAY THINGS GET BROKE OUT. SO THERE IN THE DRIVING POSITION TO STATE WHAT THEY WANT TO GET FOR THE PRICING. BUT THAT SAID WE DID SOMETHING THIS YEAR THAT HAD NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE AND THAT IS ON ALL THE BILLS WE PUT OUT WE PUT I ASKED FOR JUST ADJUSTMENTS FOR PRICE GOES UP OR DOWN WE'RE ABLE TO ADJUST THE PRICING FOR TO ACCOMMODATE THAT SO WE PROVED THAT OUR LAST MEETING OR THE MEETING FOR THEM WAS A GOOD MOVE AND REALLY START TO DO SO BUT WE'RE IN A POSITION WHERE THE 2.2 MILLION FOR RESURFACING FOR THE STATE DEONTE PROJECTS TO BE SUFFICIENT THE 1.289 MILLION I THINK WE CAN HANDLE THE RESURFACING JIM AND I TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT THOSE TWO SEEM LIKE NO PROBLEM WE ALSO ADD TO THAT ROUND NUMBERS WE GO 1.3 MILLION FOR THE RESURFACING AND WE ADD IN $300,000 FOR RECLAMATION.
THAT TAKES US ABOUT 1.6 MILLION WE HAVE ROUGHLY $100,000 WE'LL SPEND IN CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION. THAT TAKES US ABOUT 1.7. THEY DO GET THEY WILL GET SWEEP COUNTY AND DOT WILL GET THE DOTTED CREDIT FOR THEIR PORTION AND THE ONLY THING MISSING THE LESS THAN 580 WHICH IS DUE FROM FEBRUARY 14TH AND OUR FORECAST FOR IT WAS WHAT I THINK BUDGETING FOR IT WE INCLUDED ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE I THINK WE PUT 4 MILLION FOR THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT AND THE CEI I THINK OUR ESTIMATE 3.2 AND SO JUST TO BE CONSERVATIVE WITH THAT NUMBER AND SEE I THINK I'VE BE UP TO FOUR OKAY NOW WE HAVE A CHOICE AND ESSENTIALLY THE CHOICE IS I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM OF HOLDING THINGS UP 30 DAYS IN BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING A MEETING NEXT MONTH TO THE 15TH FOR A RETREAT .
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM HOLDING IT UP AND TAKING A PORTION THAT AFTER THE RETREAT PORTION SINCE IT'S AN ESTABLISHED MEETING WE CAN GO THROUGH THE NUMBERS THEN TO MAKE CERTAIN WE ARE BLESSED WITH WHERE WE'RE AT RATHER THAN TAKING A GUESS AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND SAYING WELL $4 MILLION WE'LL BE PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT WE HAVE TO SPEND. I'M OPEN FOR DISCUSSION BUT WHAT WOULD BE YOUR PLEASURE? I'M TRYING TO GIVE YOU AS MUCH INFORMATION AND KNOW IT'S LIKE A FIREHOSE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR SOME TIME. WE'VE BEEN WORKING UNDER GOOD BUDGET BUDGET NUMBERS.
WE PLUGGED IN BUDGET NUMBERS WE HAD GOTTEN MOST RECENT BILLS AND IT STILL WASN'T ENOUGH SO.
IT'S NOT THE THE ESTIMATING WASN'T DONE IS AND I GUESS THIS IS JUST KIND OF A MORE QUESTION DO WE DO ANY KIND OF CONTINGENCY FINANCIAL PLANNING BASED ON THE FACT THAT I FROM SOME READING I WAS DOING TODAY WE'RE OUT TO GET BE IN A RECESSION SOONER THAN LATER AND BEAUFORT COUNTY DOESN'T GET HIT AS MUCH BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE INDUSTRY HERE AND BUT STILL IT
[00:30:07]
MAY 1ST OF ALL LOWER THE COST OF DOING ANYTHING AND AT THE SAME TIME MAY SLOW DOWN POPULAR GROWTH. I'M JUST WONDERING HOW WELL DO WE DO SOME FORECASTING OR ANY HAVE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS OR WHAT DO WE DO ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE DONE GOING BACK THE COMMITTEE HAD NEVER HAD A CONTINGENCY ESTABLISHED AND WE ESTABLISHED ONE AT THE END OF YEAR ONE OF THE COMMITTEE REFORM. SO WE HAVE A HALF MILLION DOLLARS SITTING THERE THAT'S NOT PLEDGED, NOT OWED AND HASN'T BEEN TOUCHED.SO IT'S NOT WHERE WE CAN USE THOSE FUNDS HELP KEEP THE PROJECTS MOVING.
I'VE ASKED BRIAN TO LOOK WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF WE NEEDED TO DO A REDUCTION YOU WANT TO SHOW THAT SLIDE. YEAH HE PULLED THE RED LINE SLIDES HERE.
YEAH SO IF WE YOU ASK ME TO PULL OUT CLOSE TO $1,000,000 FROM THE COUNTY SIDE OR THE RESERVES SEEM TO THAT IS WHAT WOULD BE LEFT I THINK IS THREE ROADS FROM OUR COUNTY PROGRAM WOULD BE LEFT ON THERE THE REST WOULD BE REMOVED. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF WIGGLE IN THERE WITH MOBILIZATION COST AND THEN YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE UNIT RATE ITEMS PATCHING AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO IT WOULD VARY WE MAY BE ABLE TO ADD A ROAD OR TWO BACK ONE HERE OR THERE BUT AT A BASE MILLION I THINK THAT RIGHT THERE CAME OUT TO 1,010,000 REDUCTION. SO THE POINT BEFORE IS WE CAN WAIT THREE OR FOUR WEEKS AND READDRESS THIS OR WE CAN GO AHEAD AND APPROVE SIX AT THE CURRENT RATE OR YOUR SIX AT THE CURRENT RATE OR WE CAN DO THE OF THE REDUCED YEAR SIX AND WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADD ON AN ADDITIONAL EITHER AT OUR FEBRUARY OR MARCH MEETING DEPENDING ON HOW FUNDING IS RECEIVED OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. GREG, YOU MENTIONED BACK DURING THE PANDEMIC THERE WERE SEVERAL COUNTIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO OVERRUN.
WHERE DOES THE FUNDING COME FROM TO COVER THAT IF THAT HAPPENS AND I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GO TO COUNTY COUNCIL ASKING FOR THE MONEY BAR THE MONEY FROM THEM TO BECAUSE OUR FUNDING IS STRICTLY SEPARATE. THE ONLY THING THE COUNTY DOES WITH OUR MONEY IS HOLDING FORCE. THE MONEY BELONGS TO THE CTSI IT DOESN'T BELONG TO THE COUNTY COUNTY IN ANY FASHION BUT THEY DO PROVIDE THE BOOKKEEPING FOR US AS WELL AS TO KEEP IT ON THE GROUND WHERE WE DRAW INTEREST SEPARATE FROM THE COUNTY SO IT IS OUR OWN FUNDS BUT WE WILL HAVE TO GO TO THE COUNTY TO ASK FOR FUNDING JUST TO SUPPORT US AND I'M NOT EXACTLY IN THE MOOD TO DO BUT IF THINGS WENT UP THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO DO PRECISELY. THEY DON'T PAY FOR THE CTSI FUNDING DOESN'T PAY FOR NOW IF YOU TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WE'RE SITTING HERE AND THIS IS THE WAY IT'S PLAYED OUT WHERE WE'VE SET IT UP IN TERMS OF JANUARY IT'S TYPICALLY THE MONTH WE AWARD CONTRACTS IT GOES TO COUNTY COUNCIL JUST AS A FORMALITY BECAUSE ALL THEY'RE DOING IS APPROVING THE CONTRACT THAT HAVE FORMED. THEY'RE NOT APPROVING THE WORK, THEY'RE APPROVING THE WITH THE CONTRACTOR AND SO WITH THAT IT DOESN'T OUR NATURAL PAYMENT DOESN'T REALLY START TO APRIL TIMES AND THEY HAVE TO BE DONE BY JUNE ONE ON THINGS FOR THE STATE WORK SO GET CREDIT IN THIS FISCAL YEAR SO IT'S IT'S A DIFFICULT SITUATION FOR US TO WORK BECAUSE HAVE TO GIVE THE STATE PORTION RELEASED THAT HAS TO BE RELEASED SO THAT WE CAN GET THAT INTO MOTION AND GET IT DONE BEFORE ONE JUNE BECAUSE WE HAVE ALL THOSE DOLLARS ALMOST $4 MILLION WE HAVE TO HAVE DONE BY ONE JULY TO GROUSE WHERE THEY DON'T GIVE US CREDIT IF. WE HAVEN'T WE HAVE COMMITTED THE FUNDS. THE WORK HAS TO PHYSICALLY BE DONE BY ONE JULY.
RYAN WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU REDUCE THE CONTRACT AMOUNT? IS THERE A PENALTY THAT THEY FOR GOING UP THERE UNIT PRICES WE SO IT'S BID LUMP SUM SO BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY BACK TO PURCHASING THE I BELIEVE IN THE 30 DAY BILL TO GO HAVE TO CONFIRM THAT WITH PURCHASING ALL OUR ROADS ARE BUILT AS WELL SO MAY NOT BUT IF IT EXCEEDS 30 DAYS YOU MAY HAVE TO GO BACK IT'S DONE QUITE INTENTIONALLY IT MAKES THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE TAKE OFF RATHER THAN GOING
[00:35:06]
BEING ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE TAKE OFF BUT THE WORK WILL IF WE REDUCE THE AMOUNT WE COULD PAY MORE TOWARDS WHAT IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO A CONDITIONAL APPROVAL YES SO THAT WORK OR BIDDING WHATEVER THE FIRST STEPS NEED TO GET UNDERWAY CAN GET UNDER WAY AND THAT'S A THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MY HOPE WAS IF WE WERE TO GO AHEAD AND IMPROVE THE PORTION AND THE REDUCED COUNTY PORTION AND THEN AT OUR NEXT MEETING IN FEBRUARY WE COULD ADD ON TO IT AT THAT TIME BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE FUNDING I'M PRETTY SURE FUNDING THEN FOR THE NEXT SESSION AND IT WOULD BE THAT'S A PROVEN WAY OF DOING IT THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WAS MY HOPE OKAY THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE THAT RESOLUTION? I WOULD BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT WORD BUT SO CHAIRMAN CHAIRMAN OKAY SO WITH THE REDUCED PORTION REMOVING THAT ONE 1 MILLION OUT OF THERE AND THEN WITH A 15% CONTINGENCY TO COVER THE ASPHALT ADJUSTMENT, ANYTHING THAT THAT BRINGS IT TO 2 MILLION 874 SIX 2643 SO WE WILL DO THE REDUCED PORTION FOR COUNTY ROADS IN YOUR SIX RESURFACING AND DO THE D.O.T.RESURFACING AND THAT'S YOUR MOTION SO MOVE DO I HAVE A SECOND SECOND FROM THE DISCUSSION. YES CORRECT. DID I HEAR A FIGURE MENTION OF $10 MILLION BALANCE OR SOMETHING? CORRECT.
THAT SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY HEFTY BALANCE BETWEEN JANUARY AND THE 30 WELL 6 MILLION OF THAT CAME FROM DOT AND A ONE TIME GRANT BUT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS IF WE'VE GOT A $10 MILLION BALANCE, WHAT ARE WE YOU'RE LET ME HELP YOU WITH THE NUMBERS, OKAY? OKAY. ROUGHLY IT WAS $5.8 MILLION THAT AND I'LL ALSO I DIDN'T BRING THIS UP THIS NEEDS TO BE HEARD VERY CLEARLY. WHAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN THE STATE LEGISLATURE APPROVED A QUARTER OF $1,000,000,000 OF RESURFACING AND THEY GAVE ONE YEAR TO DO IT IN ONE YEAR AND I HAD HARPED ON THEM TO US TO SPREAD IT OUT OVER A TWO OR THREE YEAR PERIOD AND THEY THE LEGISLATURE PASSED IT AND SAID TOUGH LUCK THIS WHAT YOU'RE GETTING YOU HAVE ONE YEAR TO SPEND IT. SO NOT ONLY THAT QUARTER OR $250 MILLION IS NOT ONLY TO IMPROVE FOR COUNTY TRYING TO SWALLOW ABOUT ONE TIME IT'S THE COUNTIES IN 46 COUNTIES IN THE STATE ARE DOING DEALING WITH THE SAME DILEMMA AND CONTRACTORS ARE SMILING BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOTS WORK TO DO SO THAT 5.8 MILLION IF YOU TAKE YOU MAKE A ROUND NUMBER SAY $6 MILLION THEN IF YOU TAKE WHAT PAVING THIS ONE SETBACK WHAT WE GET IS $3.5 BILLION. SO THAT TAKES US TO NINE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS RESERVE. SO THAT TAKES YOU TO 10 MILLION EASY.
SO THAT WAS OUR 3.5 IS WHAT WE HAD ACCUMULATED THIS PAST YEAR TO BE SPENT ON REPAVING PROJECTS ISSUE SO THOSE WERE THE TWO BLOCKS OF MONEY OR 3.5 BILLION FROM OUR MONIES 5.8 OR $6 MILLION FROM THE ALL THE FUNDS THAT DOT GAVE US AND CONTINGENCY BUT IF WE IF STILL HAD $10 MILLION HOW CAN WE ANTICIPATE OR THINK THERE MAY BE A SHORTFALL AND DELAY IN APPROVING THE PROJECT THAT'S THAT'S MY DILEMMA. ALL WE'RE DOING ALL WE'RE DOING IS BEING CAUTIOUS IT AND WE'RE IMPROVING TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT THREE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS TODAY WE HAVE ANOTHER 400,000 WE'LL BE SPENDING WE HAVE ALONG WITH THAT FOR FOR RICK FOR MIKE AND WE HAVE 100,000 WE'LL BE SPENDING ON INSPECTIONS SO THAT'S OVERCOMMITTING TO AND THE OTHER ONE IS A STATE SECONDARY UPDATE TO 585 WHICH IS TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $4 MILLION. SO NOT KNOWING WHERE THAT BID'S COMING IN PLUS WE HAVEN'T ADDED THE CONTINGENCIES TO THESE NUMBERS WHICH IS 10 TO 15% WELL BY THE RETREAT NEXT.
MM HMM. WELL, WE KNOW WHETHER WE'RE SOLVENT.
YEAH, WELL, THEN RESOLVE IT TONIGHT BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SO VERY THAT'S I'M TRYING TO GET
[00:40:06]
MY HANDS AROUND. I'M HERE IN $10 MILLION. COME ON, DO THE MATH WITH 5 MILLION I I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT ARE YOU ON? OKAY WE DO HAVE A MOTION SECONDED IS A FURTHER DISCUSSION SAYING THAT ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY I HONOR THOSE VOTES NO SO NO THAT IS ONLY FOR CONSTRUCTION YEAR SIX BUT LIKE A MOTION FOR THE 319,000 FOR THE RECLAMATION I HAVE A MOTION FOR THAT I'M SO GOING TO HAVE A SECOND I SAID I CAN THANK YOU FOR THE DISCUSSION HERE AND THEN ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY I RIGHT THOSE OPPOSED LAST ITEM IS WHO WE NEED TO APPROVE THE CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION CONTRACTS FOR 20,000 FOR THE COUNTY AND 52,000 TO THE VOTING SECTION OF DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR THAT? YES. SO THAT'S WHY I WAS SO I CAN FOR THE DISCUSSION YOU'RE IN NONE OF THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE I THOSE OPPOSED THAT TAKES CARE OF ITEMS D E AND WE WILL POSTPONE P FOR OUR CONVERSATION AT THE RETREAT I THINK MR. CLAUSEN YOU'RE A STATE REP 170 TO TRY AND GO UP THIS GOOD AFTERNOON.YOU DIDN'T GET THAT SAME PICTURES DID YOU. I WILL SO DID CHECK WITH I DID CHECK WITH WITH AECOM RIGHT THEY THE THE UPDATES THAT THEY HAD DONE OR THE PRETTY PICTURES THAT THEY HAD DONE WAS FOR THE OVERALL ACCESS PLAN. SO I PULLED I PULLED SHEETS FROM THE PLANS ITSELF TO BE ABLE TO SHOW TODAY SO 170 IS IT'S A THERE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY CONGESTION THAT IS PICKED UP IN ALONG THIS CORRIDOR. THIS IS WHERE WE HAD WORKED WITH AECOM FOR FOR NOW PROBABLY OVER A YEAR AND A HALF TO COME UP WITH THERE WAS A ACCESS MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT WAS DONE ON 170 AND THERE ARE NEAR-TERM MID-TERM AND TERM IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE ARE FUNDED OR THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE 170 CORRIDOR THE NEAR-TERM IMPROVEMENT ARE THE ARE JUST KIND OF SOME SPOT IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT ALONG THE CORRIDOR AND THOSE WERE FUNDED ACTUALLY FUNDED THROUGH PARTNERSHIP OR A IGA THE CITY WITH JASPER COUNTY AS WELL AS CITY OF HARDEE BILL. SO WE ALL HAVE WE ALL HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME ON THIS PROJECT SO I'LL RUN THROUGH I'VE BROUGHT THIS PROJECT UP BEFORE IN THE PAST WE'RE REALLY, REALLY CLOSE TO GETTING THIS THING OUT TO BID AND JUST WANT TO UPDATE EVERYONE WITH A FEW VISUALS JUST TO KIND OF STEP THROUGH WHAT EACH ONE OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS LOOK LIKE HERE. SO WE'LL START ON THE SOUTH SIDE AND WORK OUR WAY NORTH.
THIS IS OKATIE CENTER SOUTH. SO THIS IS WHERE YOU KNOW UP THE ROAD OAKLEY ALEHOUSE WALGREENS PUBLIX OR NOW PUBLIX I'M SORRY FOOD LION IS ALL OF THAT AREA HERE IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. SO BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THAT IMPROVEMENT HERE IS A LITTLE LITTLE DIFFICULT TO SEE BUT I'LL KIND OF TALK THROUGH THAT.
WE'RE BASICALLY PUTTING A MEDIAN UP ACROSS 170 SO YOU CAN NO LONGER TRAVEL.
IT WOULD BE EASTBOUND ON OKATIE CENTER SOUTH AND BE ABLE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN SO WITH THIS DESIGN REQUIREMENT OR WITH THIS DESIGN YOU WOULD BE REQUIRED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AT OKATIE CENTER SOUTH AND THEN INTO THAT BOLD OUT AREA AND BASICALLY YOU TURN TO GO NORTHBOUND ON 170.
SO THIS IS WHAT CALL AN AKA INTERSECTION. IT'S BASICALLY TO TAKE AWAY CONFLICT POINTS AT THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION LOCATION.
SO AGAIN MUCH SAFER TO THE DRIVERS AND AGAIN ELIMINATE SOME CONFUSION ESPECIALLY WITH SPEEDS ON 170 COME AND RUN THE CURVE AND THROUGH THE INTERCHANGE.
SO THE NEXT PIECE IS REALLY THE SOUTH END OF THE OF THE INTERCHANGE ITSELF.
SO NOT NOTHING REALLY GOING ON WITH THE SOUTHERN RAMP BUT THERE SOME THINGS THAT WE'RE
[00:45:01]
WORKING ON WITH THE THE ACTUAL LOOP RAMP UP ON TOP AS WELL AS A COORDINATION PROJECT THAT WE HAVE GOING ON WITH NCDOT FOR SOME RESURFACING ON ACTUALLY OFF THERE'S FIVE RAMPS ON THE INTERCHANGE ITSELF SO ALL FIVE OF THOSE RAMPS AS WELL AS RESURFACING UP ON TOP TO GET BETTER LANE UTILIZATION SO A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT TO SEE IN THIS PARTICULAR PICTURE AND I DON'T THINK I DID A GOOD JOB OF ANOTHER SLIDE IN HERE BUT BASICALLY YOU SEE THE LOOP RAMP AND SO TODAY AS YOU TRAVEL AROUND THAT LOOP RAMP WHEN YOU GET UP ON TOP OF THE BRIDGE UP ON TO 78 YOU HAVE TO COME TO A MERGE CONDITION SO YOU'RE INTO ONE OF THE THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC UP ON TOP OF THE BRIDGE SO WITH THAT OVERLAY PROJECT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO RESTRICT THAT ONE TOP AND THAT'S GOING TO BE A FREE FLOW LANE SO YOU'LL TAKE THAT LOOP RAMP FROM 170 LOOP AROUND TO 278 AND HAVE YOUR OWN LANE TO TRAVEL DOWN TO 78.SO I'LL INTERRUPT YOU FOR JUST THIS IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN D.O.T. AND I WANT TO GIVE OUR LISTENERS GIRL THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHENEVER DOT PROVIDES US WITH A LIST OF THE PAVING PROJECTS BECAUSE THIS WAS IN AN OUTDOOR PAVING PROJECT IT WASN'T THIS YEAR WAS GOING TO BE NEXT AND WE WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH DISTRICT SIX MICHAEL BLACK AND LIZBETH. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE FUNDING TO DO THE RESURFACING OF ALL THE RAMPS OF FOUR RAMPS ON TO 78 170 SO THE SO SIERRA IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT PICTURE SO TURNED A LITTLE BIT SIDEWAYS AND THE INTERCHANGE HAS KIND OF BROKEN OUT BUT IF YOU CAN GET YOUR BEARINGS THE TOWARDS THE TOP IS WHERE THAT LOOP RAMP IS.
SO REALLY THE ONLY THING THAT THE ONLY POINT OF SHOWING THIS PARTICULAR PIECE IS STILL HAVE TWO LANES IN EACH DIRECTION GOING THROUGH GOING UNDERNEATH THE INTERCHANGE ITSELF THERE IS GOING TO BE A CHANNELIZED RIGHT TURN COMING ONTO THAT GOING ONTO THAT LOOP RAMP.
THE NEXT SLIDE OR NEXT COUPLE OF SIDES WILL EXPLAIN THAT A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
SO AGAIN THIS JUST TO KIND OF GIVE YOU GIVE YOU YOUR BEARINGS.
SO THIS IS THE NORTH END OF THAT INTERCHANGE AGAIN BROKE IT UP JUST BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY THE PLANS WERE BROKEN UP. SO AGAIN A LOT OF CONGESTION ESPECIALLY FOR THAT SOUTHBOUND IN REALLY A SOUTHBOUND RIGHT TO USE THAT LOOP TO HEAD DOWN TO BLUFFTON AND HILTON HEAD SO IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT ONE PLEASE. SO THIS EXPLAINS A LITTLE BIT BETTER WHAT'S GOING ON THERE? THERE'S SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE GOING ON SOME CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS GOING ON AT THAT NORTH OFFRAMP AS WELL AS WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS IN AGAIN A LITTLE BIT HARD TO SEE BUT WE'RE ADDING A DEDICATED RIGHT TURN LANE THAT FOR THAT LOOP RAMP FOR THAT SOUTHBOUND RIGHT TO GET ONTO TO 78 AND IT'S GOING TO BE ACTUALLY CHANNELIZED OFF SO WE'LL BE CHANNELIZED OFF FROM YOUR SOUTHBOUND 170 MOVEMENT.
SO AGAIN WHAT YOU SEE TODAY WERE SOMEONE BASICALLY RUNS IN THAT IN THAT OUTSIDE LANE AND TRIES TO CUT OVER AT THE LAST MINUTE THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO DO THAT ANYMORE SO AGAIN THERE'LL BE OVERHEAD SIGNAGE TO DELINEATE WHICH LANE YOU SHOULD BE IN AND AGAIN HOPEFULLY WILL CREATE A SAFER SITUATION. WHAT'S ALSO ON THIS PICTURE IS OKATIE CENTER NORTH SO THAT'S THE THAT'S WHERE ASHLEY FURNITURE AND THOSE RETAIL STORES ARE THERE.
SO AGAIN SIMILAR WHAT WE DID ON OF THE CENTER NORTH THIS IS ACTUALLY CLOSED OFF SO AGAIN NO LEFT TURN MOVEMENTS AT THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION. SO AGAIN SEE A LOT OF CRASHES, LOT OF CONGESTION. IT'S JUST NOT SAFE. SO AGAIN THAT'S WHERE THE THE IMPROVEMENTS COME IN THERE. THIS STUDY WAS DONE UNDER GINNY'S GUIDANCE AND DIRECTION WHEN WAS WITH LEFT AND THIS WE'RE BITING THIS ELEPHANT ONE BITE AT A TIME IT WAS QUITE SURE IT'S LIKE THE WHOLE THE WHOLE CORRIDOR IS LIKE $100 MILLION.
SO WE'RE SPENDING ABOUT $3 MILLION. BUT THIS THIS INTERSECTION WITHIN A HALF MILE OF THE TO 78 IN 170 TO 385 ACCIDENTS IN A THREE YEAR PERIOD.
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A SECOND. 385 ACCIDENTS OVER A THREE YEAR PERIOD THAT MEANS THAT OVER 100 ACCIDENTS HERE WHICH MEANS IT'S ABOUT ONE EVERY THREE DAYS. THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT HERE AND THIS HOPEFULLY WITH PUTTING A WALL UP AND VIOLENCE OF THIS STUFF SHOULD REALLY CLEAN UP THINGS IN THERE CONSIDERABLY AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THERE WERE OBJECTIONS TO NOT IN THE TECHNICAL PEOPLE WORKING ON IT YOU KNOW WITH THE CONSULTANTS BUT AS SOME OTHER
[00:50:02]
PEOPLE IN THE LANDS COMMITTEE WAS BY ELIMINATING LEFT HAND TURNS YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE PEOPLE ANGRY, YOU KNOW, AND I MEAN WE SAW THAT HAPPEN ON BOUNDARY STREET HERE WHEN THE LEFT HAND TURNS WERE ELIMINATED IN MOST PLACES AND. WHILE I'VE ALWAYS MADE A LEFT TURN THERE FOR THAT WAS WHEN TRAFFIC SO I IMAGINE ONCE ONCE THIS KIND OF COMES ABOVE AND PEOPLE KNOWING ABOUT IT YOU WILL GET SOME PUSHBACK ON THIS WELL YOU CAN'T STOP PEOPLE FROM MAKING ONE HAND TURN RIGHT WELL AND AGAIN I THINK AS AS THE CHAIRMAN POINTED OUT IT'S A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. SAFETY IS ALWAYS GOING TO THE PRIORITY OVER ANY PROJECT THAT WE DO ABSOLUTELY. I THINK ONE OF THE THE OTHER THINGS TO TO MENTION ABOUT THE THE INFAMOUS RIGHT HERE IS WITH THAT JERSEY BARRIER OR THE THE THE BARRIER BETWEEN THE TWO LANES, WHAT THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW US TO DO IS KEEP THAT THAT SOUTHBOUND RIGHT TURN MOVEMENT GREEN FOR THE ENTIRE TIME OTHER THAN WHEN SOMEBODY IS UNDERNEATH THE INTERCHANGE AND WANTING TO GO ON TO TO 78 WESTBOUND OTHER THAN THAT LEFT TURN THAT RIGHT THE SOUTHBOUND RIGHT TURN WILL STAY GREEN THE ENTIRE TIME. SO AGAIN, RIGHT AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE'S A LOT OF DELAY AT THE INTERSECTION JUST BECAUSE ALL THE TURNING MOVEMENTS THAT OCCUR AT THAT PARTICULAR INTERSECTION THAT SHOULD KEEP EVERYTHING FLOWING SO THAT STACKING THAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY SHOULD BE MUCH, MUCH FURTHER REDUCED FROM FROM WHAT WE SEE. I MEAN I THINK WHEN PEOPLE SEE THE RESULTS I MEAN IT'S IT THEY WILL COME AROUND TO IT BUT THERE I MEAN I'M JUST SAYING THAT THERE WILL BE PUSHBACK.ABSOLUTELY. WELL THIS WILL GIVE THIS WILL GIVE THIS SECTION OF TOWN A LITTLE BIT OF A TASTE OF WHAT THE ARCADE OR SUPER STREET DESIGN LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE THERE THERE IS MORE THAT WE'RE ANTICIPATING ALONG THE BUT WITH THIS PROJECT IT'S JUST THAT ONE LOCATION SOUTH OF THE INTERCHANGE COUNTY COUNCIL APPROVED FINANCING TO DO SOME OF THE DESIGN FOR THIS SO YEAH SO THAT WILL BE SHOVEL READY WHENEVER FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO TRY TO KEEP THIS PROJECT MOVING IN AND I'LL TOUCH ON THAT ONE IN JUST JUST A MOMENT THAT SO IN ADDITION THEN THE REASON FOR THIS SLIDE IS TO LOOK AT THE IT TO LOOK AT THAT OFF RAMP SO IT'S THE WESTBOUND OFF RAMP FROM 278 TO 170 IN SIERRA IF YOU WANT TO SHOW THAT NEXT SLIDE. SO BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS DEDICATING TWO LANES THAT WILL NOW BE ABLE TO EXIT TO 78 ON 170 THEY'LL BE DELINEATED INTO SEPARATE LANES ON THAT OFF RAMP WHEN YOU WHEN YOU APPROACH 170 THERE WILL BE A DO DUAL LEFT TO BE ABLE TO GO SOUTH AND THEN A SEPARATE DEDICATED RIGHT TURN. SO AGAIN SOME CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT RAMP ITSELF. SO INSTEAD OF GOING AND TAKING THAT LEFT PEOPLE WILL PROBABLY GO OUT THE OTHER WAY AND OKATIE AND GO ON TO 278 AND THEN COME DOWN AND TAKE THE LEFT ON ONE. SO THE ADVANTAGE OF THE YOU KNOW THEY'LL JUST REVERSE DIRECTIONS. YEAH YEAH. NEXT ONE IS ONE THAT WE SEE AGAIN IF YOU TRAVEL DOWN 170 AT RUSH HOUR EITHER MORNING OR PEAK YOU SEE A LOT OF TIE UPS ESPECIALLY ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING TIME AT THIS PARTICULAR INTERSECTION.
SO THIS IS URGENT CARE IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE. SO BASICALLY SOME AND DELAY IMPROVEMENTS AT THIS INTERSECTION SO RIGHT NOW URGENT IS HAS ONE LEFT TURN AND ONE RIGHT TURN AS YOU APPROACH 170 AND WITH THIS PROJECT JUST SOME SIMPLE STRIPING AND SOME SIGNAL WORK BUT IT'S GOING TO CREATE A DUAL LEFT TURN OFF OF ORIGIN.
SO WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE CAN REDUCE THE SIGNAL TIME WHICH ULTIMATELY REDUCES DELAY OF THE OVERALL INTERSECTION SO THAT STACKING THAT WE CURRENTLY WHICH IT SEEMS TO KEEP GROWING OUT THERE THAT YOU KNOW SOMETIMES EXTENDS BEYOND 462 AND IT'S REALLY AS A RESULT OF THIS INTERSECTION WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRAMATICALLY THE SOME OF THE CAPACITY ISSUES THAT WE'RE ON 170 THERE SO NEXT IS ACTUALLY AT 462 SO NOT A WHOLE LOT IS GOING ON NECESSARILY AT THIS INTERSECTION DOT PUT IN THE SIGNAL BELIEVE IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AGO MAYBE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO NOW. BUT WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS EXTENDING THAT LEFT TURN LANE TO GO ON TO 462 SO THAT NORTHBOUND LEFT AS YOU SEE IN THE RUSH TIME PERIODS A LOT OF TIMES THAT WILL SPILL OUT BEYOND THE CAPACITY OF THAT LEFT TURN B SO AGAIN IS TO CREATE THAT ADDITIONAL CAPACITY THERE THERE'S ALSO A U-TURN.
YOU CAN SEE IT JUST KIND OF AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OF THE DIAGRAM THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE CLOSED OFF HERE IF YOU WANT TO GO TO THAT ONE. AND SO THAT'S GOING TO ELIMINATE THAT U-TURN AND THEN AGAIN ADD THAT CAPACITY TO THE LEFT AGAIN JUST AS A UPDATE OR
[00:55:05]
REFRESHER I WENT TO JASPER COUNTY AND WORKED WITH JASPER COUNTY CDC IN JASPER COUNTY.CDC COMMITTED $50,000 TO HELP SUPPORT THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS WE PUT IN AT THIS INTERSECTION AND I THINK THE TOTAL COST WAS ONLY $85,000. BUT MR. MCPHEE'S SPENT SOME OF OUR MONEY AT THAT POINT IN TIME DOING MATH STUDY. HE WANTED TO PUT MY HANDS STUFF RATHER THAN PUTTING PLATES UP TO DO ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR.
SO WE STAYED WITH THE CABLES ON THE MAPS. WELL THAT'S SO THAT'S KIND OF A GOOD SEGWAY INTO SO THAT THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE AS FAR WHAT THE NEAR-TERM IMPROVEMENTS ARE.
SO AGAIN IT'S IN SOME SPOT IMPROVEMENTS TO REALLY ADDRESS CAPACITY AND SAFETY ALONG THE CORRIDOR AGAIN THERE WAS AN OVERALL ACCESS MANAGEMENT PLAN THAT WAS ON 170 AND THERE'S ALSO ONE THAT'S JUST ABOUT COMPLETE ON TO 78 REALLY FROM WHERE ARGENT INTERSECTS WITH TO 78 AND IN THE TRIANGLE ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH THIS INTERCHANGE.
SO WE'RE AECOM IS IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON THAT ONE AS WELL WE'RE JUST ABOUT TO A FINAL REPORT SO AGAIN THAT THAT REALLY BUILDS UPON WHAT WE REFERRED AS A TRIANGLE PROJECT.
SO THAT'S REALLY THAT CORRIDOR ALONE TO 78 THE CORRIDOR THAT WE'VE JUST TALKED ABOUT ALONG 170 AND THEN ARGENT BOULEVARD WHICH IN JASPER COUNTY THAT CONNECTS 172 TO 78.
SO AS CRAIG MENTIONED EARLIER COUNTY COUNCIL HAD GIVEN US SOME ONE TIME FUNDING TO BE TO MOVE FORWARD SALES TAX WAS HAS BEEN PUSHED DOWN THE ROAD SO JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T LOSE MOMENTUM THAT WE DON'T LOSE REALLY ARE OUR PLACE WHERE WE NEED TO KEEP THESE PROJECTS MOVING ALONG WE HAVE ASKED FOR SOME ONE TIME FUNDING SO WE'RE GETTING READY TO KICK THE THE CONSULTANT ON THE OVERALL DESIGN WHICH AGAIN BE MORE OF YOUR INTERMEDIATE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG ONCE 70 THEN AGAIN IMPROVEMENTS ON TO 78 AND THEN THERE WAS A STUDY THAT WAS DONE BY HARDIE VILLE I BELIEVE FOR ARGENT AND SO THAT WILL BE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE INCLUDED IN THAT DESIGN AS WELL SO THAT'S KIND OF THE OVERALL TRIANGLE PROJECT AGAIN ONE OF THE BUSIEST MOST CONGESTED AREAS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY AND .
AGAIN WE'RE TAKING SYSTEMATIC REASONABLE STEPS TO IMPROVE THIS AREA.
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION AND ANSWER QUESTIONS. IT'S JUST NICE.
WHEN YOU WERE WHEN YOU WERE WORKING ON SOMETHING IT WAS BASICALLY A PLAN TO ACTUALLY SEE IT STARTING TO BE IMPLEMENTED THAT ABSOLUTELY IT'S GOOD FEELING AND NOT EVERY NOT EVERY COUNTY DOES THAT AND I THINK A LOT OF IT HAS TO DO WITH THIS COUNTY WORKING WITH ANOTHER COUNTY, ANOTHER MUNICIPAL AND MAKING IT BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS INVOLVED.
I IT'S NOT JUST BEAUFORT COUNTY ONE I THINK THE IMPORTANT PART AND CRAIG YOU MENTIONED THAT TOO IS JUST BITING OFF WHAT YOU CAN WHAT YOU CAN DO AT THE TIME.
SO RATHER THAN JUST KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD AND SAY WELL WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL WE GET TO SELL SO WE GET ADDITIONAL SALES TAX BEING ABLE TO BITE OFF THESE SMALL SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS ARE REALLY BIG FOR THE COUNTY. I'M PLEASED TO SEE THIS PLAN.
I DRIVE THROUGH THAT NIGHTMARE TWICE A WEEK. WHAT'S YOUR TIMING? SO WE'RE HOPEFUL TO GET EVERYTHING BACK TO US AND ABLE TO GO OUT TO BID PROBABLY LATE SPRING. IT'S A IT'S ABOUT A 6 TO 9 MONTH PROJECT SO AGAIN HOPEFUL TO HAVE EVERYTHING WRAPPED UP WE'RE THINKING BY THE END OF THE YEAR IF NOT EARLY NEXT YEAR IT'LL BE PHASED. WELL, THIS WHOLE THING THIS PIECE WILL ALL BE DONE WITH WHAT WAS SHOWN TODAY WILL ALL BE COMPLETE AS ONE PROJECT. YES, YES SIR.
AND QUESTIONS THANK YOU MUCH. THANK YOU. WELL, LOOKS LIKE I GET TO DO A LITTLE TALKING AND I'LL MAKE UP A LITTLE TIME AT THIS POINT AND ITEM NEW BUSINESS DURABLE SERVICE MEMBERS SERVICES MEMBERS APPOINTED. I GOT A LETTER THIS PAST WEEK THAT GENERAL'S WHO I'VE WORKED WITH HE WAS IN THE DEPARTMENT IN D.O.T. WHERE THEY WERE HE WAS IN CHARGE OF VAN THAT THEY USED TO GO OUT AND ANALYZE ROUTES WITH AND HELPED US ACTUALLY DO THE FEW FOR COUNTY ROADS WITH IT SO HE'S MOVING OVER HE'S TAKING JOE STORM'S POSITION. THE POSITION HAS BEEN EMPTY FOR TEN MONTHS PROBABLY BUT THEY'VE CHANGED TITLED FROM CITY C PROGRAM MANAGER TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES MANAGER AND
[01:00:07]
I'VE I'VE INVITED HIM TO OUR RETREAT TO ALLOW HIM TO HAVE HIM INTRODUCE HIMSELF AND MOVE ON TO GEARHART SO THAT'S AN INFORMATION ONLY BIKE ITEM ITEM B RETREAT FEBRUARY 15TH, 2023 BUT MORE OF A RECREATION FACILITY. FIRST THING I'M HONORED TO DO EVERY COMMUNITY MEMBER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD REMEMBERING YOUR BADGE THAT DAY.YES, REMEMBER YOUR BADGE. IT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE WILL HAVE QUITE AN AUDIENCE THERE AT THE MEETING WE'VE PROBABLY HAVE FIVE OR SIX MEMBERS OF MINIMUM DISTRICT SIX.
WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE DOWN FROM D.O.T. HAVE SOME ELECTED OFFICIALS OUT.
SO IF YOU WOULD REMEMBER BRING YOUR BADGE ALSO THE RETREAT BASICALLY WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE ONE THAT STARTS AT 12, JIM AND THIS IS GOING TO PROVIDE LUNCH AT OUR EXPENSE COMING OUT OF OUR ADMINISTRATOR FUNDS. WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH SOME TOPICS INTRODUCTION TO PAVEMENT TREATMENT AND PRESERVATION SLURRY PAVERS IS GOING TO PUT THAT IN. TIM HERBST THAT'S GOING TO PRESENT IT.
THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE PAVEMENT TECHNOLOGY TREATMENT IN PARTICULAR ALL OF THIS IS BEING DONE TO TRY TO BRING EVERYBODY UP TO SPEED ON THE DIFFERENT TREATMENTS WE'RE DOING EVERY DAY AND SOME US TALK ABOUT IT PRETTY EASILY AND ALL OF US DON'T KNOW A CLUE TO IT'S ALL ABOUT SO THIS WAY YOU'LL HAVE AN IDEA, AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO AGAIN PAVEMENT TECHNOLOGY CAN IS COMING IN FOR IT WE WILL COME BACK TO HAVE AFTER THE MEETING HAVE LESS THAN 580 AND TAKE ACTION ON IT THE LAST THING AND I'M GOING STOMP ON THE FLOOR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS YOU HEARD ME SAY EARLIER HOW GOOD IT IS ELIZABETH IS ABLE TO GIVE US PROJECTS THAT SHE'S WORKING ON AND PROJECTING FOR THE ENSUING TWO YEARS AND SHE WORKS WITH MARCI OUT OF DISTRICT SIX WHO HAVE ASKED THEM TO MAKE A PRESENTATION. BUT BEAR IN MIND THAT, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE USES EXPRESSION WHEN I WENT THROUGH OFFICER CANDIDATE SCHOOL THEY USED TO STOMP ON THE FLOOR TO MAKE CERTAIN WE WERE AWAKE SO THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE A TEST QUESTION THEY WOULD LIKE TO TEACH US. SO THIS IS A TEST QUESTION I'M ABOUT TO TEACH YOUR REMEMBER WE SPLIT UP THIS PAST YEAR THE FUNDING WE WE SPENT $1,000,000 THIS PAST YEAR ON STATE ROADS THIS YEAR WE'RE SPENDING IT WE'RE SPENDING THAT MILLION DOLLARS ON THE LESSON 580 NEXT YEAR WE WILL BE SPENDING A HALF MILLION DOLLARS CONTINUING THE LESSON 580 PROGRAM AND WE WILL BE SPENDING MONEY ON DISTRICTS YOU REPRESENT. SO IF THERE STREET THERE HAVE LESS THAN 2080 DOWN TO 500 THAT'S THE WINDOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOOK AT.
THAT WAS THE WAY THIS COMMITTEE ACTED IMPROVED SO THAT WHEN THAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, IF YOU HAVE ROADS AND IT ISN'T ON HER LIST WE NEED TO BE TALKING ABOUT IT AND WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IT IN MARCH BECAUSE BE IN OUR NEXT YEAR'S PAVING PROGRAM STARTING ONE JULY WE WOULD LIKE TO BUILD AGAIN AND YOU WILL WE WILL SELECT A PROJECT OR TWO TO SPEND UP TO THAT HALF MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND ON STATE SECONDARY ROADS. AND YOU HAVE THE TO BE ABLE TO ANALYZE YOUR STATE SECONDARY ROADS. OKAY.
WHAT QUESTIONS YOU HAVE ABOUT THAT? WE HAVE DATA BECAUSE THE STUFF WE HAVE FROM LAST TIME WAS FROM YEARS AGO, WASN'T IT? THAT'S THE CLOSEST WE'RE GOING TO GET. THAT'S IT. OKAY.
BECAUSE AGAIN IN MY DISTRICT THERE HAVE BEEN THERE HAVE BEEN TRAFFIC INCREASES.
YES AND UNFORTUNATELY TRYING TO GET TO THE STATE I THINK ON STATE SECONDARIES AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG ELIZABETH BUT I THINK IT'S A 5 TO 7 YEAR WINDOW IS HOW FREQUENTLY GET TO THEM WHENEVER THEY DID IT THEY HAD WE HAD ROADS HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT AND DROVE 18 YEARS SO HAVING YEARS BACK WE'RE WE'RE WE'RE GOOD FOR GOLD I'M NOT SEEING ANYBODY SHAKE YOUR HEAD NO THAT'S GOOD ALL RIGHT IT'S I'M STILL MAD AT GOOGLE AND WAZE BECAUSE THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT THE PROBLEMS IN MY DISTRICT. ALL THE SHORTCUTS NOW FROM LAKESIDE I'M BRINGING UP QUITE INTENSELY AND YOU HAVE THE SLIDE IN THERE. IT'S SHOWING COUNTY COUNCIL HAS
[01:05:01]
REALIGNED COMMITTEES INSTEAD OF THIS COMMITTEE NOT BEING UNDER THE AUSPICES OF OF PUBLIC FACILITIES, WE'RE OUR PROJECTS WILL NOW BE THROUGH FINANCE ADMINISTRATION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND IT MEETS THE THIRD MONDAY OF THE MONTH. AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUR SCHEDULE ON OUR MEETINGS, EVERYTHING ALIGNED SO THAT WHEN WE APPROVE A CONTRACT OR IT GETS THAT NEXT CYCLE WITH THE COUNTY COUNCIL. SO THE REASON FOR BRINGING THAT UP IS TO SAY TO YOU THAT'S WHAT OUR COUNTY COUNCIL IS REALIGNED AND WHAT WE'RE ON NEXT YEAR WITH THE NEW COUNCILMEMBERS. HAVE THEY REAPPOINTED ANY PEOPLE OF ANY OF THE DISTRICTS OR TWO HAVE WE'RE SITTING HERE TODAY AND I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY'VE SIGNED THIS NEW LIAISON YET. SO THAT'S AS FAR THOUGH IT'S STILL WHAT IT WAS.YEAH, GOOD TO STAY THAT WAY. YEAH NO NEXT ITEM REPOSITIONING OF COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS LACK OF A BETTER TERM. THAT'S WHAT I'VE TRIED TO TITLE .
WE'VE HAD THREE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AS THIS ASSIGNED THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ASSIGNED THEIR DISTRICT LANA HAS BEEN SHE'S IN DISTRICT TWO LIVES IN DISTRICT 11 AND REPRESENTS DISTRICT TEN SO SHE'S GOING TO BE MOVED INTO 11 BECAUSE WE LOST THE PERSON THAT WAS IN 11 AND WE HAD TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE IN DISTRICT TWO AND ONE OF THEM IT IS ONE OF THEM IS RETIRING SO MARK'S RETIRING AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO PUT THAT PERSON IT WAS DOWN IN TEN MOVING THEM BACK TO DISTRICT TWO. SO WE'RE GETTING EVERYBODY BACK IN THEIR DISTRICTS WAY THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. SO I TALKED TO SARAH BEFORE THE MEETING AND IT'LL BE BEFORE COUNTY COUNCIL THE END OF THE MONTH. WE'RE POSITIONING EVERYBODY TO THE RIGHT DISTRICTS. WE'LL HAVE EVERYBODY HOME AND BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THEIR OWN RIGHT. AND SO LOOKING AT YOUR RIGHT SIDE DISTRICT OKAY NEXT ITEM ON THE LIST IS ARTEMIS ELECTION OF THE CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE FLOOR FOUR MOTIONS FOR CHAIRMAN OF THE CTC I MOVE THAT CRAIG GORDON REMAIN CHAIRMAN SECOND THAT FURTHER CONVERSATION AND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY I WAS THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONFIDENCE I APPRECIATE OPEN THE FLOOR FOR VICE CHAIRMAN I'M NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE A MOTION I AGAIN MAKE A MOTION THAT JOHN GLOVER REMAINING VICE CHAIRMAN DO I HAVE A SECOND SECOND THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SAY I MOTION CURTIS TREASURER'S REPORT I THINK WE'VE WENT OVER THINGS PRETTY CLEARLY JIM AND I IN MEETING YEAH I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE'S ANY OF THE REAL HIGHLIGHTS IN THE SPREADSHEET HERE AND IN THE OVER THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE SPREADSHEET THAT'S BEEN CLEANED UP A LITTLE BIT WITH PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND WE'LL BE ADDING THE PROJECTS AS WE PUT THIS YEAR BUT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT I THINK SOME OF THE REAL KEY ELEMENTS HAVE THAT AFFECT OUR FINANCES. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT I THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU WERE QUESTIONING THINGS BEFORE WE HAVEN'T PAID FOR THIS YEAR'S PAVING PROJECTS YET SO THAT ALSO COMES OFF AT $10 MILLION SO THAT WILL REDUCE IT AS WELL.
THAT'S THE OTHER MISSING PIECE OF WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON FURTHER REPORT HEARING I'M LET'S MOVE ON TO PUBLIC COMMENT. IS THERE ANYONE IN YOUR AUDIENCE LIKE TO MAKE A PUBLIC COMMENT? I DON'T HAVE A SMALL NOPE NOPE.
SORRY I WON'T I'M SURE IS WE RESTRICTED SAME AS COUNTY COUNCIL DOES IF IT'S NOT ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ABOUT THE TOPIC IT'S ON THE AGENDA IT'S NOT DISCUSSED NOW I'LL GLADLY TALK WITH YOU AFTER THE MEETING BY CLOSING COMMENTS AS CHAIRMAN AGAIN I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE
[01:10:01]
THE CONFERENCE. FOR ME IT'S A LOT OF WORK AND I SEND OUT THE DOCUMENT AGAIN TO REFRESH EVERYBODY'S MEMORY YOU KNOW WE GET AUDITED EVERY YEAR AND THE DOCUMENTS THAT WE PUBLISH WE SEND MY SIGNATURE TO THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WHETHER YOU CALL OR NOT LAST YEAR I GAVE YOU THE REPORT SAYING THEY GAVE IT TO YOU AGAIN THIS YEAR THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION WRITES IN OVERVIEW OF WHAT HAS TRANSPIRED THROUGH THE CTC AND AGAIN OF THE 46 COUNTIES THEY'RE UP NOW THE 26 ITSELF ADMINISTRATIVE 20 THE ART OF DOWNSTREAM VISITOR BY DUTY BUT THEY PUT A REPORT IN FOR EVERY COUNTY AND THAT'S WHAT I PRESENT TO THE TOTAL REPORT. AGAIN NOT ONLY IS THAT HER RESPONSIBILITY TO SEND THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE IT'S A LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT IT GETS PUBLISHED AND IT'S ON THE WEBSITE AND YOU THINK THAT OUR STATE REPS AND SENATORS ALL LOOK AT IT YOU'RE WRONG.I GET QUESTIONS ABOUT IT. SO IT'S A DOCUMENT VERY ALIVE AND VERY MUCH DOCUMENTS WE PROVIDE THE GENERAL WITH THEIR TRANSPORTATION PLAN IT GOES TO D.O.T. AND GETS PUBLISHED ALONG WITH IN THEIR WEBSITE THIS IS PUBLISHED ON THEIR WEBSITE ALSO SO JUST AS A REFRESHER ON THAT JUST 101 WELL AS YOU SAID YES SIR IS THERE A CHANCE WE THIS IS NOT ON THE AGENDA PER SE BUT IT WAS CERTAINLY MENTIONED DURING THE MEETING AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE DEPARTMENT AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE COUNTY IS REWRITING THIS PROJECT COULD WE GET UPDATE ON THE TO 70 CORRIDOR PROJECT? IT SEEMS TO HAVE FALLEN THE WORLD AND I REALIZE WE'RE COMING THROUGH TWO HOLIDAYS SEASONS OR WHATEVER BUT COULD WE HAVE AN UPDATE? WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH 278 IS I, I WON'T KEEP THE MEETING I'M CURRENT WITH IT AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT IS IN OUR PURVIEW PER AS A CTC BUT I WILL DEFINITELY SEE THAT THAT'S ADDRESSED THE NEXT MEETING. OKAY SO WE DO IT OFFICIALLY I WON'T DO IT AT THIS WE INTENTIONALLY WHAT'S THE SECRET ON TO 78 IT'S NOT BECAUSE IT'S A SECRET THEY'RE ALL WELL IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET A BRIEFING AND MAYBE WE COULD DO IT AT THE RETREAT.
I'LL SEE IF I CAN GET THAT ARRANGED. GLAD TO.
