[5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - September 25, 2023 and October 23, 2023]

[7. UPDATE FROM ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR - PRESENTATION ON THE REIMAGINE RIBAUT ROAD PROJECT - Jared Fralix, Assistant County Administrator Infrastructure]

[00:11:10]

WHAT HAPPENS TO WHERE WE WITH THE DISPOSABLE WILL WASTE AFTER WE RECYCLE?

[00:11:17]

[00:11:26]

RIGHT. SO THAT THAT RIGHT NOW IS THE CONTINUED PLAN.

SO SO WE GO INTO A THOUGHT READING. SO THE MURPH IS IS ONLY FOR RECYCLABLES, RIGHT? YES. THIS IS A STEP IN THE PROCESS.

ABSOLUTELY. SO WE DID WE DO A CONTRACT WITH YOU? YES. SO WE HAVE A CONTRACT. I THINK IT EXPIRES IN 2024 WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT. AND BASICALLY THEY'RE TAKING OUR DISPOSABLE WASTE OUR HOUSEHOLD WASTE FROM OUR CONVENIENCE CENTERS DIRECTLY TO THEIR LANDFILL.

SO RIGHT NOW THAT'S THE PLAN. LONG TERM IS THAT THE FINAL ANSWER? I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED AND EVALUATED.

WHAT OTHER OPPORTUNITIES ARE BESIDES LANDFILL IN. BUT WE WANT TO GET THERE WHATEVER THAT ANSWER IS. BUT IN THE IMMEDIATE TERM IS STILL A CONTRACT WITH WASTE MANAGEMENT. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT WE WERE GETTING AWAY FROM THAT COMPLETELY. SO YOU'RE TELLING ME SOMETHING YOU DON'T? I WANT YOU TELLING ME SOMETHING NEW. YES.

IT WAS NOT UNDER THAT. WELL, AT ONE POINT WE'D LIKE TO GET IT JUST MAY NOT BE AS SOON AS WE'D LIKE TO BUY. THERE'S THERE'S LIMITED OPTIONS WITH WHERE THE HOUSEHOLD WASTE GOES LANDFILL IS IS AN OPTION BUT OTHER. THEY'VE GOT SOME PROPRIETARY TECHNIQUES AS FAR AS DIFFERENT. SORRY ABOUT THAT. YEAH.

I'LL TALK TO YOU ABOUT THAT LATER AND JUST GET A CLEAR. OKAY.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR JIM? THAT IS NOT A QUESTION, JUST A COMMENT.

I SPOKE TO JIM MOSS TODAY REGARDING HIS COMING TO COUNCIL ON THE 11TH.

WE'VE DECIDED IT WOULD BE PREFERENTIAL TO HAVE A MEETING BEFORE THE COUNCIL MEETING WHEREBY COUNCIL CAN HEAR THE ENTIRE PRESENTATION THAT HE WANTS TO MAKE.

SO WE'LL EITHER HAVE A COMMITTEE MEETING BEFOREHAND DECIDE WHICH WOULD BE THE BEST COMMITTEE SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE THE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL SO THAT WE CAN ACT ON DECEMBER 11 AND WHATEVER THE RECOMMENDATION IS FROM THE COMMITTEE TO THE COUNCIL.

IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE SOMETHING THAT COUNCIL WANTS TO ACT ON ON DECEMBER 11TH.

IT MAY JUST BE SOMETHING TO HEAR OR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. BUT YEAH SO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO PRESENT. I THINK THAT WOULD BE MEANINGFUL.

OKAY. I HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS. ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE MURPHY OR I KNOW WE MOVE FORWARD THE PROCESS TO HIRE A COMPANY AND TELL US WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

HAVE WE ALREADY PUT MONEY ASIDE FOR THE ACTUAL PROJECT ITSELF? YES, WE HAVE SOME ARPA FUNDS AND WE HAVE SOME JILL BOND FUNDS THAT ARE SET ASIDE FOR THE.

SO IF WE DECIDE NOT TO GO DOWN THE ROUTE OF DOING A MURPHY CURRENTLY AND DOING TRANSPORTATION, HOW DOES THAT AFFECT OUR FUNDING? CAN WE USE THOSE FUNDS? ARE WE GOING TO COME UP WITH NEW FUNDING? YES.

EXPIRATION DATE ON THOSE. SO IT WOULDN'T BE NEEDED FOR A CAPITAL PROJECT MURPHY.

THERE MAY BE SOME RECYCLING IMPROVEMENTS ON OUR CONVENIENCE CENTERS THAT WE WANT TO TAKE PLACE WITH SOME OF THAT FUNDING. BUT THEN THE REST OF THE FUNDING COULD BE IT COULD BE REALLOCATED TO A DIFFERENT PROJECT.

OKAY. MY OTHER TWO QUESTIONS ONE THE LIGHT ON HILTON HEAD.

IS THAT LIKE A WARNING SIGNAL THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT? I THINK LIKE A MONTH AGO WE

[00:15:02]

YEAH. SO THAT WILL BE A WARNING SIGNAL THAT I'LL BE CONNECTED TO THE SIGNAL SO IT'S NOT FLASHING ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN A SIGNAL IS ABOUT TO TURN YELLOW OR RED IT'LL IT'LL START TO FLASH. I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE OF THOSE IN BLUFFTON RIGHT NOW AND THEN THE 170 THE TEMPORARY PROJECT.

WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF IS JUST TRYING TO REFRESH MY MEMORY DOES THAT INCLUDE.

I KNOW I KNOW IT INCLUDES CLOSING OFF THAT TURN IN BEHIND THE BARREL CAMERA, THE NAME OF THE ROAD RIGHT NOW. OKAY. NORTH OF GREEN BOULEVARD NORTH.

YEAH, I KNOW IT CUTS THAT OFF BECAUSE THAT WAS A POINT WHERE WE'VE HAD QUITE A FEW WRECKS.

BUT DOES IT ALSO INCLUDE THE FUNDING TO BUILD THE ROAD BEHIND THOSE BUSINESSES DOWN TO THAT TRAFFIC LIGHT AT BURGER KING OR IS THAT IN THE LONG TERM PLAN? NO, THAT WOULD BE A LONG TERM PLAN. YEAH BECAUSE I KNOW WE UPDATED THE MASTER PLAN JUST COMMEMORATES PART OF THIS ONE. YEP.

OKAY. THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS. ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY. HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED? ALL RIGHT, WELL, MISS HOWARD, I APOLOGIZE BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME SLIDE THAT YOU'VE SEEN TWO TIMES NOW AS CITY OF BEAUFORT IN TOWN OF PORT ROYAL. BUT I'LL GO THROUGH I'LL GO THROUGH A LITTLE QUICKLY JUST I THINK EVERYBODY'S FAMILIAR WITH IT BUT JUST THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH ON THIS PROJECT AND WHERE WE'RE GOING. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON THIS SLIDE HERE IS IS THE THREE LOGOS AT THE BOTTOM OR FOUR LOGOS. SO THIS IS NOT A COUNTY PROJECT EVEN THOUGH I'VE BEEN THE ONE TALKING AT THE CITY OF BEAUFORT AND TOWN OF FOR MAKING THE PRESENTATION THIS IS A JOINT PROJECT JUST AS SOMETHING WE'RE TRYING TO DO ALL THREE OF US TOGETHER TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH OUR THROUGH OUR COMMUNITY SO A JOINT PROJECT.

THIS IS THE BOUNDARY STREET MASTER PLAN. SO THIS WAS DONE IN ABOUT 2005 AND THE MASTER PLAN. I KNOW IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO SEE BUT THIS IS BOUNDARY STREET UP HERE THE TOP IT GOES FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND 170 AS IT COMES IN.

SO WHAT WAS CONCEIVED WAS SOME TYPE OF THOROUGHFARE THAT WAS A GATEWAY ENTRANCE TO THE CITY OF BEAUFORT. WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW IS ONE WHEN IT GOT STARTED SO IT GOT STARTED IN 2005 AND DOWN THE STREET ITSELF DIDN'T FINISH UNTIL 2090.

SO 14 YEARS LATER BETWEEN THE START AND STOP. SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO USE THIS EXAMPLE AND MOVE FORWARD WITH REBUILT ROAD. SO WE'RE BASICALLY DOING A MASTER PLAN NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE ZONING AND ALL THE OTHER BUILDING FACILITIES AROUND THE STREET BUT FOR THE STREET ITSELF AND THEN MOVE THAT INTO DESIGN.

SO IN 2005 THEY SPENT ABOUT A YEAR DOING THIS MASTER PLAN EFFORT WHICH WAS THE EVOLUTION OF THE BEAUFORT CODE AND THEN OUT OF THAT THEY REALLY HIT THE PAUSE BUTTON FOR A SECOND.

THEN THEY DID A DUE DILIGENCE STUDY IN THE 2008 2009 IS THIS REALLY SOMETHING WE SHOULD DO? THEN IN 2009 AND TEN THROUGH 11 THEY STARTED TO DO AN ENGINEERING DESIGN AND THEN IT WENT OUT TO BID IN 2014 AND THEN WENT OUT TO BID AGAIN IN 2015 AND FINALLY GOT AWARDED AND THEN CONSTRUCTED IN 2015 THROUGH 19. SO IT WAS A LONG PROCESS BUT WHAT WAS MEANINGFUL IS THESE WERE THINGS THAT WERE PUT UP HERE THE FINAL DESIGN ON BOUNDARY STREET DID NOT INCLUDE EVERYTHING THAT YOU SEE HERE SO AS WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS THERE'S GOING TO BE THINGS THAT PEOPLE LIKE OR DON'T LIKE AND WE'VE HEARD IT FROM BOTH SIDES FROM THE CITY OF BEAUFORT AND TOWN OF PORT ROYAL AND WE RECOGNIZE WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY. BUT IF WE CAN MAKE AND THIS IS HARD FOR ME TO SAY I WAS A STRAIGHT A'S STUDENT SO IF WE CAN MAKE A SOLID B AND MAKE A 80% OR 85% OF FOLKS HAPPY WITH THE PLAN THEN THIS HAS BEEN A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT.

SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS IN THIS MASTER PLAN AND REALLY BEFORE WE EVEN GET INTO THE PROJECT LIMITS IS WHY ARE WE DOING THIS? SO THE MAIN REASON RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE WHAT WHAT PROBLEM ARE WE SOLVING IS SAFETY. SO SAFETY WITH ACCESS MANAGEMENT AND THEN THE ACCESS MANAGEMENT ONCE YOU START THE PROJECT IT ALLOWS FOR US TO TOUCH IT IN OTHER WAYS WITH ESTHETICS, WITH RESILIENCY UNDERGROUND IN THE UTILITIES AND DIFFERENT THINGS. BUT WE'RE FIRST ADDRESSING SAFETY SO THE ROAD PROJECT IS FROM BOUNDARY STREET TO RUSSELL BAY BRIDGE ABOUT FIVE AND A HALF MILES IN THAT SECTION THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF OF NEIGHBORHOOD IS COMING FROM THE NORTH YOU'VE GOT A JUDICIAL SECTION RIGHT UP HERE AT BOUNDARY STREET AS YOU GET PAST DEPOT IT GETS INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD SECTION FROM DEPOT DOWN TO BASICALLY TCL.

ONCE YOU GET THE TCL AND THE HOSPITAL IT GETS INTO A MORE INDUSTRIAL SETTING AND THEN ONCE YOU PASS THE HOSPITAL PRETTY MUCH THERE NOW IT GETS INTO A COMMERCIAL SETTING.

[00:20:02]

WHAT WE'VE DONE SO FAR AS FAR AS LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT SO WE'VE HAD SIX ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS. WE HAVE A JOINT STAFF COMMITTEE MEETING MADE UP A CITY OF NEW FOR TOWN FOR EARLY ON COUNTY STAFF AND WE'VE MET SEVERAL TIMES ON BIWEEKLY COORDINATION CALLS AND WE'VE OFF THE SITE SEVERAL TIMES OR FIELD SCOPING MEETING WITH THE ENGINEERS WITH OFFICE ALSO BEEN ON ONLINE SO ONLINE A TOTAL OF 1100 OVER 1100 RESPONSES A GENERAL SURVEY SO SOMETHING A SURVEY LIKE THIS THIS WAS A POSITIVE RESPONSE AS FAR AS THE NUMBER OF RESPONSES RECEIVED WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD THREE OUTREACH MEETINGS IN-PERSON MEETINGS SO WE KICKED OFF THE PROJECT IN APRIL OF THIS YEAR WITH 80 PLUS ATTENDEES AT ALL.

THESE WERE HELD AT TCL AND AT THAT MEETING IT WAS BASICALLY HEY WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE US TO SEE? AND THE BIGGEST COMMENT THAT WE GOT OUT OF THAT MEETING WAS THAT A YOU DON'T HAVE THIS DESIGN ALREADY AND THE ANSWER WAS NO.

THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU BEFORE WE EVEN START DRAWING.

AND WE HEARD A LOT OF THINGS. WE HEARD THE SAFETY. WE HEARD SPEEDING.

WE HEARD PEDESTRIAN ACCESS. WE HEARD NO MEETINGS AND THE ENTIRE STRETCH LIKE WE DO NOT WANT IT TO LOOK LIKE BOUNDARY STREET THAT WAS SOMETHING OVERWHELMINGLY THAT WE HEARD SO WE TOOK THOSE THINGS TO HEART AND THEN COME JUNE THE MIDDLE OR THE END OF JUNE WE HAD A THREE DAY DESIGN WORKSHOP SO WE HAD OUR DESIGN ENGINEERS FROM 8 TO 5 OR EIGHT.

6:30 P.M. AND THEY WERE SITTING THERE AND PEOPLE COULD COME THROUGHOUT THE WORKDAY AND PROVIDE COMMENTS AND AS THEY WERE TALKING THERE WAS AN ENGINEER IN THE BACK WITH THE DESIGN PROGRAM AND HE WAS DESIGNING ON THE FLY AND THEN PRINTING IT AND THEN PUTTING IT ON THE MASTER BOARD FOR THEM TO LOOK AT WHAT ABOUT THIS IDEA OF THAT IDEA? SO IT WAS A A WORKING DESIGN SESSION. AND THEN LASTLY IN SEPTEMBER AGAIN AT TCL WE HAD AN OPEN HOUSE WHERE WE SHARED ALL THE INPUT THAT'S BEEN RECEIVED ON ONLINE, ALL THE INPUT THAT WAS RECEIVED AT AT THE SYMPOSIUM AND THE DESIGN WORKSHOP AND ALL THE INPUT WE'VE HEARD FROM THE STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS AND GAVE OUR BEST EFFORT AS A FIRST DRAFT OF HEY THIS IS WHAT THE DESIGN ENGINEERS RECOMMEND BASED OFF THE DATA AND THE PUBLIC INPUT. SO AS FAR AS THE DATA THE DATA WAS KIND OF INTERESTING.

ONE WAS THE NUMBER OF BRICKS THERE WAS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF NUMBER OF WRECKS ON THE RIGHT YOU CAN SEE A HEAT MAP OF THOSE WRECKS WHERE IT GETS BRIGHT RIGHT YELLOW AND RED.

OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE KIND OF CLOSER TO THE BOTTOM THAT IS LADIES ISLAND DRIVE.

SO AFTER YOU'RE GOING TO LADIES ISLAND RIGHT THERE AT THAT INTERSECTION AND THEN UP TOWARDS THE NORTH YOU SEE SOME MORE TOWARDS THE BOW AND AND NORTH STREET AND BOUNDARY STREET BUT WHAT WAS INTERESTING IS THE TYPE OF ANGLE SO A TYPE OF CRASHES OVER 55% OF THE CRASHES WERE SIDESWIPE OR ANGLED CRASHES. SO THOSE ARE AT AN INTERSECTION OR SATISFY WHAT YOU SEE SIDESWIPE TYPICALLY IS YOU'RE SITTING IN TRAFFIC AND AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU'RE YOU WANT TO GET OVER YOU SEE THIS A LOT AT TCL THERE'S NOT A TURN LANE THERE AT TCL AND THEN SOMEBODY IN FRONT OF YOU HITS THE BRAKES AND TRYING TO TURN AND YOU TRY TO GET OVER AND YOU SIDESWIPE THE GUY WHO'S COMING BY ON THIS IN THE ON THE OUTSIDE LANE.

SO THAT PART WAS INTERESTING TO SEE THE TYPE OF TYPE OF CRASHES.

THE OTHER THING THAT WAS REALLY INTERESTING IS THE VOLUME SO WE DIDN'T JUST LOOK AT THE CURVE OBVIOUSLY WE WENT OUT AND DID TRAFFIC COUNTS AT THE INTERSECTIONS AND TRAFFIC COUNTS THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR. BUT WE ALSO LOOKED AT HISTORICAL VOLUMES NOT JUST THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS BUT THE LAST 20 YEARS EVERYTHING WE COULD GET OUR HANDS ON.

AND THE INTERESTING THING WAS THE VOLUME ON THE NORTHERN SECTION FROM BASICALLY LADIES ISLAND DRIVE AND ABOVE HAD DECREASED OVER THE LAST 20 YEARS.

WE RARELY SEE THAT IN ROAD PROJECTS WHERE WE HAVE A DECREASING VOLUME.

EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT TO GROW IN POPULATION WE'VE GOT TO GROW IN VOLUME MAKES SENSE.

AND THEN ON THE SOUTH SIDE FROM THE BRIDGE TO LADIES ISLAND DRIVE IT WAS GROWING NORMALLY WITH WHAT WE'D SEE SO THAT MAKES SENSE AND THAT'LL COME BACK TO THE RECOMMENDATION WHICH WE HEARD A LOT ON THAT RECOMMENDATION BUT I'LL COME BACK TO THAT IN A MINUTE.

SPEEDING YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT HERE BUT THERE'S WE HAD SOME THE SHERIFFS HAD SOME TRAILERS OUT THERE AND THERE A SPEEDING SECTION THERE BIKING AND WALKING.

[00:25:06]

SOMEBODY'S WALKING THEIR DOG. THEY'RE ON THE FAR FURTHEST AWAY TYPICALLY A SIDEWALL SO THEY USUALLY START AT SIX FEET AND A MULTI-USE PATHWAY STARTS AT 88 FEET OR ABOVE.

SO YOU CAN HAVE PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS ON THE SAME PATHWAY. BUT THERE'S ALSO IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE THE STREET AS A WALKABLE STREET, YOU WANT TO CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND THE WAY TO DO THAT IS BY CREATING SEPARATION. SO TYPICALLY YOU'LL SEE A GRASS MEDIUM OR PLANTED MEDIUM BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE CURB AND THE PATHWAY AND THAT'LL MAKE IT MORE INVITING PATHWAY FOR SOMEBODY TO WALK WALK UPON ON THE BOTTOM THERE THAT'S THAT'S ABOUT THE WORST ACCOMMODATION FOR BICYCLE FACILITY THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE.

SO NOT ONLY WHERE THEY PUSHING THE BICYCLE BUT HE'S PUSHING IT IN THE GUTTER THERE ON THE ROAD. SO ALL RIGHT. SO THE RECOMMENDATIONS SO THE INTERESTING THING BACK IN THE BOUNDARY STREAM MASTER PLAN WAS AT THE INTERSECTION OF BOUNDARY STREET AND REBA ROAD IT CALLED 20 PLUS YEARS AGO CLOSE TO 20 YEARS AGO FOR THERE TO BE A ROUNDABOUT AT THAT INTERSECTION . SO ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS IS A ROUNDABOUT AND THE REASON IS THE MATH DIDN'T CHANGE IN 20 YEARS TO STAY SAME MATH AS THEN AS IT IS NOW AND THE REASON IT MAKES SENSE AS A AS A RECOMMENDATION IS BECAUSE IF YOU SIT AT THAT SIGNAL THERE'S TWO MAJOR TURNING MOVEMENTS. OBVIOUSLY IT'S A T INTERSECTION AND YOU HAVE A HEAVY RIGHT TURN VOLUME COMING OFF OF A BOUNDARY STREET ON THE ELBOW AND THEN YOU HAVE A HEAVY LEFT TURN VOLUME COMING OFF A REBA ON THE BOUNDARY STREET AND SO WHAT A ROUNDABOUT DOES IT ALLOWS THOSE TWO MOVEMENTS TO MOVE SIMULTANEOUSLY SO THEY'RE NOT IN CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING AROUND THE CIRCLE AT A DIFFERENT PART OF THE CIRCLE. SO IT ACTUALLY WORKS REALLY WELL AT THAT AT THAT LOCATION AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE TRADITIONAL INTERSECTION AS IT IS TODAY A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION WITH A COUPLE OF IMPROVEMENTS. SO THESE ARE OPTIONS AND WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE REPORT WHAT OUR INTENT IS IS FIRST THEY PUT THIS TOGETHER AS A DRAFT REPORT. WE PROVIDED IT TO THE CITY OF BEAUFORT IN THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL AND NOW TO THE COUNTY AND SEEK AN INPUT FROM FROM THE THREE MUNICIPALITIES AND BASED OFF THE INPUT RECEIVED AT EACH OF THESE MEETINGS WE'LL COME BACK AND FINALIZE THE REPORT WITH SOME UPDATED RECOMMENDATIONS. SO MORE THAN LIKELY THESE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS WILL STAY IN THERE AND THEN AS WE GET THROUGH DESIGN IT MAY BE THAT ONE OF THESE IS IS NOT FEASIBLE FOR VARIOUS REASONS. SO AND THE SAME THING WITH OTHER OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT YOU'LL SEE AS RECOMMENDATIONS THIS IS WHERE WE STARTED HEARING COMMENTS SO IT'S HARD TO SEE ON THIS AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN ZOOM IN ANY ON IT MAYBE NOT BUT AS I MENTIONED THE NORTHERN SECTION REALLY DECREASED IN TRAFFIC.

SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SOLVE IS SAFETY AND AND SPEEDING AND SO TODAY IF YOU'RE DESIGN A FOUR LANE ROAD TODAY NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS ARE YOU ALLOWED IT'S JUST NOT STANDARD PRACTICE TO HAVE A FOUR LANE ROAD WHERE THERE TRAFFIC IS. THERE'S NO SEPARATION BETWEEN THE TWO DIRECTIONAL SO IT WAS PROPOSED IS AS YOU COME AWAY FROM BOUNDARY STREET THAT THE FOUR LANES FROM THE INTERSECTION COME DOWN INTO A THREE LANE SECTION SO IT'S A TWO DIRECTIONS IN A IN A OPEN MEDIAN. IT DOES NOT HAVE A MEDIAN THROUGHOUT BUT IT COMES TO A THREE LANE SECTION. THEN AS YOU COME HERE THIS THIS IS ANOTHER ROUNDABOUT AT BAY STREET AND THIS IS IF YOU IF YOU GO DOWN DEPOT STREET TO THE SOUTH THERE'S WHERE OUR EMS HEADQUARTERS IS. WE EVEN SPOKE TO DONNA OWENS BE AS FAR AS AS THIS IMPROVEMENT AND SAID YET THEY'VE HAD A COUPLE ACCIDENTS OVER THE YEARS WITH AMBULANCES GETTING OUT THERE AT THE INTERSECTION. SO A SKEWED INTERSECTION IN A ROUNDABOUT DOES A REALLY GREAT JOB AT A SKEWED INTERSECTION AND THAT WAS THE INTENT BEHIND THIS RECOMMENDATION. THIS IS THE SECTIONS OF THE BAY STREETS NOW ON THE LEFT AND RENTAL STREET OR TCL IS ON THE RIGHT SO THEY'RE BOTH BOOKEND WITH A ROUNDABOUT AGAIN THE ROUNDABOUT AT REYNOLDS STREET AT TCL. THERE'S NO TURN LANE THERE NOW . SO WHAT THIS DOES IS PROVIDES A SAFE LESS MOVEMENT INTO TCL IN AND OUT OF THERE AND THEN THE SECTION RIGHT HERE THIS IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD SECTION AND YOU SEE THE CROSS SECTION THERE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT AND SO IT HAS A FIVE FOOT OR TEN FOOT PATHWAY WITH A FIVE FOOT VERGE IN BETWEEN THE PATHWAY AND THE ROADWAY ON BOTH SIDES.

AND THEN THE REASON WE WERE ABLE TO SHOW THAT IS BECAUSE WITHOUT REALLY ACQUIRING ANY

[00:30:03]

THE INTENT HERE WAS TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OBVIOUSLY THE PEOPLE GETTING IN AND OUT OF THEIR DRIVEWAYS HAVE SAFE EXIT ACCESS IN AND OUT AS WELL AS TO HELP WITH THAT SPEEDING EFFORT YOU YOU'RE GOING TO DRIVE AS FAST AS THE ROAD FEELS LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE DRIVEN SO IF YOU'RE YOU'RE ON BOUNDARY STREET YOU'RE NOT DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR BUT IF YOU'RE ON THE INTERSTATE IT FEELS LIKE IT'S WIDE OPEN AND YOU CAN DRIVE 70 PLUS MILES AN HOUR.

SO YOU DRIVE EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A SPEED LIMIT TENDENCIES ARE THAT PEOPLE DRIVE TO HAVE THE ROAD FEELS GOOD AS A QUICK QUESTION ABSOLUTELY HOMOGENEOUS ROAD SO THE LIKE THE ORIGINS SO IT'S JUST A IT'S NOT A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION OR TO BE ONE YES I'M SORRY. YES IT WOULD CONTINUE TO BE A SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION.

THAT'S RIGHT. WITH IMPROVED ACCESS, PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND YEAH THIS WAS THE SECTION THAT GOT A LOT OF ATTENTION FROM THE CITY OF BEAUFORT AS WELL AS THE HOSPITAL. SO AGAIN, EVERYBODY IS NOT GOING TO LIKE EVERYTHING AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE BRING BACK AN UPDATED DRAFT OF THIS AS YOU COME OUT OF THE CIRCLE THERE FROM TCL SO YOU HAVE A MEDIAN ALSO BACK HERE REAL QUICK YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN THERE'S A GREEN LINE SO THAT'S A PEDESTRIAN REFUGE AREA SO PEOPLE CAN CROSS THAT A MID-BLOCK YOU'RE NOT GOING TO WALK ALL THE WAY TO THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE TO GET ACROSS THE ROAD. YOU WANT TO GET ACROSS THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE SO IT'S NOT A MEDIAN THE ENTIRE WAY BUT IT'S A MEDIAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT SECTION TO ALLOW FOR A DISTANCE TO PASS AND MAKE A SAFE PLACE FOR THAT FOR THAT CROSSING.

SO RIGHT HERE AS YOU EXIT OUT OF THE CIRCLE SO IT STARTS TAYLOR AND BACK INTO A FOUR LANE SECTION AND IT'S TWO OR FIVE LANE SECTION AND IT STAYS FIVE LANES THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THE CORRIDOR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BELL BRIDGE RIGHT HERE AT AT ALLISON AND DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE HOSPITAL SOME PEDESTRIAN ACCOMMODATION IS TO IMPROVE THAT.

THERE'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE ONE OF THE COMMENTS RECEIVED WAS FROM A I BELIEVE A NURSE WORKING THERE AT B FROM MEMORIAL ABOUT TURNING INTO THE HOSPITAL SO THERE'S A FREE FLOW TURN LANE ADDED TO THIS CROSS SECTION ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ROUTE TO THE HOSPITAL.

BUT YOU CAN SEE BASICALLY THE THE FAMILY AND SECTION SO IT HAS A FIVE LANE OR FIVE FOOT PATHWAY ON ONE SIDE AND IT MAINTAINS A TEN FOOT PATHWAY ON THE ON THE I GUESS EAST SIDE OF THE ROAD OR NORTH SIDE OF THIS PAGE. I JUST JUST WANT TO MAKE ONE COMMENT BECAUSE OF THE SHIFT WORK TO I THINK THE WIDENING THAT'S PROPOSED WILL HELP A GREAT DEAL. ABSOLUTELY. SO SAFETY AGAIN IS A FACTOR AND THIS ROAD IS REALLY DARK RIGHT NOW WHICH AGAIN DOESN'T DOESN'T ENCOURAGE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AFTER DARK. I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WE HAVE A CHALLENGE WITH COUNTYWIDE SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S A A SAFETY ELEMENTS ALSO PROVIDES AN ESTHETIC ELEMENT SO THIS WOULD BE I SAID NOT ONLY THE UNDERGROUNDING OF THE UTILITIES BUT WE WOULD HAVE OVERHEAD LIGHTING, SIGHT LIGHTING THROUGHOUT THE CORRIDOR AND THIS IS JUST A LITTLE SKETCH UP. THIS IS RIGHT ACROSS FROM PIGGLY WIGGLY.

SO A FIVE LANE SECTION THERE AGAIN THE MEDIAN IS NOT CONTINUOUS IS JUST THERE.

THE ONE SECTION CONTINUES. THIS IS IT GETS TO LADIES ISLAND DRIVE ON THE RIGHT.

SO THIS IS THE ROAD IT GOES TO. LADIES ISLAND WAS CALLED OUT AND THIS IS A RIGHT TURN LANE INTO A FREE FLOW. SO RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE CARS THAT THERE'S A THERE'S THREE MAJOR MOVEMENTS HERE SO THERE'S THAT RIGHT TURN THERE THERE'S A LEFT TURN OFF HEAVY LEFT TURN VOLUME OFF OF LADIES ISLAND DRIVE AND THERE'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT LEFT TURN COMING FROM BEAUFORT FOR TRYING TO TURN ON THE LADIES ISLAND DRIVE AS WELL. SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIX EVERYTHING AS FAR AS THIS PROJECT BUT WHAT THIS PROJECT IS FOCUSING ON IS ACCOMMODATING THAT HEAVY RIGHT TURN BY THE ARTIST OR SO THIS CREATES A FREE FLOW RIGHT TURN SO THEY THEY CAN CLEAR OUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. THEY DON'T HAVE TO WAIT ON A SIGNAL TO MAKE THAT ACCOMMODATION BEYOND THIS I THINK THERE'S GOING TO BE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO LOOK FOR MORE SPECIFIC IMPROVEMENTS BEYOND THIS PROJECT, FOR THIS SPECIFIC INTERSECTION. SO FOR OIL THIS WAS ONE OF THE MAJOR COMMENTS THIS IS THE MAJOR INTERSECTION IN THE TOWN OF PORT OIL AND PROBABLY MAJOR INTERSECTION NORTH OF THE BROAD. SO AS LONG AS IMPROVEMENTS GET MADE HERE THAT'LL BE WORTHWHILE. THE OTHER COMMENT THAT WE HEARD FROM PORT ROYAL IS WE HAVE MORE

[00:35:02]

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. AND THEN SO AT NAVAL HOSPITAL THERE AT PINCKNEY BOULEVARD SO THIS WOULD CLEAN UP THAT AREA SO THE THE SHELL ROAD WOULD BE CLOSED.

THE ONE BACK BEHIND THE PARK IN BETWEEN THE PARK AND THE NAVAL HOSPITAL WILL BE CLOSED OFF.

ALL TRAFFIC WILL BE ROUTED TO PINCKNEY BOULEVARD AND PINCKNEY BOULEVARD.

THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSING MEDIANS ENTER AND EXITING THE NAVAL HOSPITAL SO IT'LL JUST BE A STRAIGHT CLEAN INTERSECTION THAT PERPENDICULAR TO THE ROAD WHICH WOULD ACTUALLY BE RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE APARTMENTS RIGHT ACROSS. SO THEY WOULD HAVE GOOD PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO GET BACK AND FORTH THROUGH THE PARK. THE NICE PART OF THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL HAS AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN IS PARRIS AVENUE.

SO THE TOWN OF ROYAL HAS A STREETSCAPE PROJECT PLANNED ON PEREZ AVENUE.

SO THIS WOULD BE A CONNECTION TO WHAT THEY HAVE PLANNED BUT SOME SOME MINOR IMPROVEMENTS TO IMPROVE FLOW AT THAT INTERSECTION. IF YOU GO BACK FOR 1/2 JUST SO I CAN KEEP MY BOUNDARIES AND EVERYTHING THE BOTTOM RIGHT INTERSECTION THAT'S WHERE THAT PARKERS IS RIGHT AND YOU TURN RIGHT. THAT'S CORRECT.

THAT MAIN STREET RIGHT DOWN TO PORT ROYAL DOWN TO THEIR COUNTY THIRD TOWN OFFICERS.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. JUST MAKE SURE I'M SO FAR.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE GOOD. SO THIS WOULD BE PINCKNEY BOULEVARD. SO AT THE NAVAL HOSPITAL THERE IN THE MIDDLE THIS WOULD JUST KIND OF BE A RENDER AND SO AGAIN, HIGH VISIBILITY, PEDESTRIAN REFUGE IN THE MIDDLE, SOME IMPROVE COUNT DOWN AND AND OBVIOUSLY JUST ENHANCE MASSED ARMS THERE AS WELL THIS IS THE PARRIS AVENUE THEY SAID THIS IS THEIR STREETSCAPE PROJECT AND HOW IT WOULD TIE INTO OUR PROJECT AND THEN AT THE END OF THE PROJECT AS IT TIES INTO THE BRIDGE THERE AT THE LEFT OF THE SCREEN RIGHT THERE THERE'S TWO ROADS COMING NEAR NEAR THE PARK AND YOU HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO TURN OUT OF DO NOT FORGET THE ROADS LINEAR AN HOUR DRIVE AND THEY'RE TRYING TO COME OUT ELEANOR AND DRAYTON AND PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO TURN IN.

SO YOU SEE A LOT OF CRASHES THERE AT THIS INTERSECTION. SO THIS WOULD BE A STAND IN THE MEDIAN OF PAST THE FIRST DRIVEWAY SO PEOPLE CAN ONLY TURN LEFT AT THE SECOND DRIVEWAY JUST PAST THE PARK AND THEN PEOPLE EXITING THE FIRST DRIVEWAY WOULD ONLY HAVE A RIGHT IN RIGHT OUT OPTION ALSO IS THE SPANISH MOSS TRAIL CROSSING.

SO THIS PROJECT THE COUNTY IS ALREADY WORKING ON AND IT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR IS OR IT'S UNDER CONTRACT TO BE CONSTRUCTED AND SO THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS.

THIS IS A HOT SIGNAL THAT IS SIMILAR TO THE ONE ON 170 NEAR PUBLIX WHERE THE SPANISH MOSS TRAIL CROSSES THERE. SO IN FUNCTION IN A SIMILAR WAY IT WOULD ONLY BE A SIGNALIZED STOP WHENEVER SOMEBODY IS TRYING TO CROSS AND THEY PRESS THE BUTTON TO GET ACROSS THE ROAD AND LASTLY SO SIMILAR TO WHAT BOUNDARY STREET IS THE VIEW FOR THIS WOULD BE A GATEWAY ENTRANCE TO THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL AS YOU'RE INTER IN DOWNTOWN WE GOT A LOT OF COMMENTS THAT THIS LOOKS LIKE DISNEYWORLD SO SOME PEOPLE LIKE THAT SOME PEOPLE THEN WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO SAY IS HEY THIS IS A STATEMENT PIECE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROJECT FOR THE AREA AND THIS IS THE WAY THAT IT CAN BE ENHANCED AND SAY HEY YOU HAVE ARRIVED, YOU ARE NOW IN THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL. IT ALSO AGAIN ANY TIME YOU HAVE RESTRICTIONS WHETHER IT'S A WALL, WHETHER IT'S A A SIGNAGE RIGHT HERE A MEDIAN IN THE CENTER THAT MAKES IT FEEL CONSTRICTED. YOU WANT IT YOU'RE YOU TEND TO DRIVE SLOWER.

SO AS YOU'RE COMING OFF THE BRIDGE YOU'RE YOU'RE A 55 MILE AN HOUR PLUS.

SO TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE THEY GET IN THE DOWNTOWN PROPER IS WHAT THEY INTENDED PURPOSES HERE AS FAR AS COSTS SO ON THE RIGHT IS THE COST OF THE ENTIRE PROJECT ABOUT $45 MILLION THIS IS IN TODAY'S COST. THIS IS NOT IN THE MARSH.

ALSO THE LONGER THAT WE DON'T DO THIS OBVIOUSLY THIS COST GROWS.

WE HAVE A SPLIT UP IN DIFFERENT SECTIONS. ANOTHER COMMENT THAT WE HAD FROM THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL IS A WHY DO YOU HAVE OR OIL A SECTION THREE MAKE A SECTION ONE REVERSE THE SECTION STILL ADDS UP TO 45 MILLION. THEY JUST WANT THEIR SECTION LISTED FIRST. SO NOT A BIG THING WE CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT.

AND THEN ON THE LEFT SIDE IS THE COST OF BURYING THE UTILITIES.

IT IS SUPER EXPENSIVE BUT AGAIN IT'S A RESILIENCY FACTOR AS WELL AS AN ESTHETIC FACTOR.

IT MADE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE ON BOUNDARY STREET AND I THINK IT WOULD DO WONDERS ON ON RIBAUT ROAD. SO ALL IN ALL A $60 MILLION PROJECT AGAIN IN TODAY'S

[00:40:05]

ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE WE'D GLADLY TAKE THOSE ARE A GOAL WHERE WHAT WE WANT TO DO AND INTEND TO DO IS TO TAKE COMMENTS BACK. NOW THIS IS THE LAST GROUP WE'LL HAVE ALL THE COMMENTS FROM ALL THE THREE THREE MUNICIPALITIES OR JURISDICTIONS AND THEN WE'LL TAKE IT TO OUR DESIGN ENGINEER. THEY'LL UPDATE THE PLANS BASED OFF THE COMMENTS AND THEN OUR GOAL IS THAT THEN WE CAN BRING IT BACK OR TO ALL THREE FOR AN ADOPTION. AGAIN NOT SAYING THAT WE AGREE WITH A PERCENT BUT HEY THIS IS THIS IS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THIS LOOKS GOOD. AND THEN FROM THERE IF WE'RE NOT FIGHTING ABOUT THE CONCEPT IT REALLY MAKES MOVING THE PROJECT FORWARD IN THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN A LOT EASIER. WE STILL WILL HAVE OTHER MEETINGS AND STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A NEPA PROCESS BECAUSE WE INTEND TO SET THIS UP FOR FEDERAL FUNDING. BUT AT LEAST THE OVERALL PLAN AND AND WHERE ARE WE HEADING WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ALL AGREE ON. SO THAT'S OUR GOAL AND THAT'LL BE COMING BACK IN IN A FEW WEEKS AFTER WE GET COMMENTS FROM ALL I I'M SURE WE HAVE A FEW YEAH I'LL BE GLAD TO HAVE ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU JARED I WATCHED THE PORT ROYAL ONE AND DIDN'T SEEM TO BE A LOT OF PUSHBACK. YOU KIND OF GOT OFF EASY OF THAT ONE. YEAH, BUT I KNOW WHAT EVERYONE WAS MAYBE WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED IN THE BEAUFORT CITY? ONE THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. YEAH. SO BEAUFORT I THINK IT WAS AN HOUR AND A HALF OR 2 HOURS THAT WE HAD AHEAD OF THEIR REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING THAT THEY HAD SCHEDULED AND THEY BASICALLY ALLOWED ME TO MAKE THE SAME PRESENTATION AND THEN IT WAS COMMENTS OR THE REST OF THE REMAINDER PERIOD THEIR CITY ARE THERE AND COUNCIL CHAMBERS WAS COMPLETELY PACKED SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE BUT OVER 100 I WOULD GUESS AND A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THEY WERE THEY WERE AWESOME TEAM YEAH YEAH I THINK IT THEY WERE ON IT THEY WERE I TOLD THE THE MAYOR PRO TEM THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY AND THAT THEY WERE VERY CIVILIZED AND HOW THAT NOW THEY MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH THE PROJECT OR THE PLANS OR THE PROPOSAL BUT IT WAS IN A CIVILIZED MANNER. THEY ALL CAME AND SAID THEIR PIECE AND THOSE WERE GOOD COMMENTS FOR US TO TAKE AND THEY SPOKE SO LONG THAT THE COUNCIL MEMBERS REALLY DIDN'T GET A FULL CHANCE TO TELL THEIR WHAT THEIR COMMENTS WERE.

A COUPLE OF THEM DID BUT THERE WERE SOME HEATED COMMENTS AND THERE WERE SOME BACK AND FORTH.

THERE'S OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO THAT WERE QUICK HIT ANSWERS THAT I COULD MAKE A QUICK REPLY TO OTHERS WERE JUST SIT THERE AND LISTEN TO IT. SO I THINK IF I COULD JUST COMMENT I THINK THE BIGGEST ONE BIGGEST CONCERNS AND DAVID IN YOUR MEMORY WAS WORRIED ABOUT SERVICE VEHICLES TO THE HOUSES LIKE YOU KNOW, AMAZON GARBAGE TRUCKS GOING DOWN TO SINGLE LANE WERE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE FIRST RESPONDERS AND FIRST RESPONDERS BECOMING FIRST RESPONDERS AND SO IN GENERAL THE THREE LANE SECTION WAS WHAT GOT 90% OF THE COMMENTS AT THE CITY OF BEAUFORT. IT DIDN'T GET HARDLY MENTIONED AT ALL AT THE AIRPORT ROYAL THEY JUST WANTED THEIR INTERSECTION FIXED AND THEY WANTED TO BE FIRST OKAY SO ONE QUESTION THAT I HAVE AND I'VE ALSO BEEN ASKED AS WELL THE BOUNDARY STREET ROUNDABOUT IF THAT WERE TO ACTUALLY GO FORWARD HOW HOW DOES THAT MATCH UP WITH THE OTHER LINE AT INTERSECTIONS ESPECIALLY FOR FOUR RIGHT OUT HERE. YEAH SO THEY'RE NEEDED IT NEED TO BE IN CONNECTION WITH MARCH RIGHT OUT HERE AT STARBUCKS BECAUSE WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN IS FOR THAT TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT AND THEN IT BACK UP INTO THE THING THAT ALREADY KIND OF HAPPENS RIGHT NOW WITH THE TWO SIGNALS EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE THEY'RE COORDINATED SO THAT WOULD BE STUDIED AND LOOKED AT SO BOTH DOWNSTREAM AND UPSTREAM ON BOUNDARY STREET WOULD BE LOOKED AT IN THE DESIGN PHASE IF THAT IF THAT WAS TO MOVE FORWARD AND THEN ONE OF THE OTHER COMMENTS THAT I KEEP HEARING AS WELL BEYOND THE FIRST RESPONDERS ON THE SINGLE LANE SECTION IS GOING BACK TO THE LADY'S ISLAND DRIVE INTERSECTION.

WHY AREN'T WE GOING TO HAVE AN INCORPORATING THE PLAN TO GO AHEAD AND ADDRESS THAT IN ITS ENTIRETY? YEAH SO IT'S ENTIRETY IT'S A 15 OR $20 MILLION PROJECT JUST THAT INTERSECTION IS BECAUSE WHAT WE GET INTO AND I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AT OTHER FORUMS BUT YOU START GETTING INTO RAY'S PHRASE OR ELEVATED RAISED ELEVATED INTERSECTIONS SEPARATED GRADES ARE I COULDN'T COME UP WITH WERE SEPARATED GRADE INTERSECTIONS AND IT STARTS HAVING A LOT MORE IMPACT OUTSIDE OF THE REMOTE ROAD SPECIFIC AREA AND A LOT OF DIFFERENT LAND AND THAT IS INTERACTING WITH SO IS IT IS IT CHEAPER TO DO IT LATER OR WOULD

[00:45:04]

BUT THEY'RE SO THAT INTERSECTION SO COMPLICATED WE BOGGED DOWN THE BIGGER PROJECT BUT THEY ARE RUNNING CONCURRENTLY. YES.

THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN JEREMY FIRST SAY THAT YOU THE RIGHT MAN FOR THIS PROJECT.

YOU GOT THE PERSONALITY AND YOU TAKE IT AND YOU DISH IT OFF AND THEN YOU MOVE FORWARD SO YOU THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THIS PROJECT IF IT EVER GETS OFF IS BECAUSE OF YOUR PERSONALITY.

I CAN SEE THAT BEFORE THE MEETING WE HAD TWO LEADERS AND ONE GOT UP AND HE SPOKE IN FAVOR OF THE ROUNDABOUT IN THE OTHER ONE WAS AGAINST IT AND I THINK THIS WHOLE NIGHT STARTED OFF AND CONTINUED ALL THE TWO AREAS AND I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF OF BUSINESSES AT THIS TIME WHEN YOU COME IN AT THE BRIDGE AT THE MET HERE BRIDGE AUTOZONE IS RIGHT HERE.

HOW HOW IS THIS GOING TO IMPACT NET NET THEIR BUSINESS PARTICULARLY COMING FROM THE CITY OF BEAUFORT TURNING LEFT, TURNING LEFT AND WANTING TO GO INTO AUTOZONE.

YEAH, YOU KNOW HOW IS THAT SO SO IN ADDITION TO THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS FOR THE LONG TERM THERE WE'VE ALSO THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON I FORGET TO MENTION IT ALSO APOLOGIZE SO WE'VE ALSO KICKED OFF AN INITIAL DESIGN ON THAT SPECIFIC INTERSECTION SO SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE ONE SIDE AND WE DID SHORT TERM MID-TERM LONG TERM SO IN THIS AN AREA I WOULD CALL REBOOT ROAD MIDTERM TO LONG TERM AND THEN WE'RE KICKED OFF THAT ANALYZE RIGHT FLOAT DESIGN AS A SHORT TERM OPTION AND IN THAT DESIGN THE RIGHT OF WAY IS AN ISSUE BUT THERE'S ALREADY SOME RIGHT AWAY ON REBAR ROAD SIDE OF ADVANCED AUTO PARTS THAT IS ALREADY THERE WHERE THE SIDEWALK IS SO THERE'S LIMITED RIDER WE NEED IS BUT BECAUSE THAT RIGHT FLOW IS A FREE FLOW THAT DRIVEWAY ON LADY'S ISLAND DRIVE WOULD HAVE TO BE CLOSED SO THE DRIVEWAY ON REBAR ROAD WOULD REMAIN OPEN SO THEY'D STILL HAVE ACCESS IN AND OUT AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO CONVERT A LEFT TURN IN OR THAT MOVEMENT COMING FROM VIEW FOR IT TO TURN LEFT INTO LADIES ISLAND. SO ALL THAT WOULD BE FACILITATED.

OUR GOAL IS TO GET THAT DESIGN STARTED WITHIN VESTMENT FUNDS THAT COUNCIL PROVIDED TO GET STARTED ON ON TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS AHEAD OF SALES TAX WE'RE PUTTING MONEY TOWARDS THAT SHORT TERM DESIGN RIGHT NOW AND IF WE CAN GET THROUGH THE RIGHT AWAY COMPONENT THAT SHOULD BE A PRETTY QUICK PROJECT THAT WE COULD GET OUT IN THE NEXT 6 TO 9 MONTHS AS FAR AS A DESIGN ON IT BUT WE'RE WORKING WITH DOT AND THEN WE'LL HAVE TO WORK WITH THE LANDOWNER ON THAT ENTRANCE IN AND OUT. OKAY. AND THE OTHER ONE IS NO GO AHEAD AND THE OTHER ONE IS ON THE PINCKNEY BOULEVARD AND IN AND SINCE WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME IMPROVEMENT IN THAT AREA, JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT SAME MORNING ALMOST BARKING AND WHATEVER YOU DO CAN HELP ENHANCE THAT YEAH SO THIS ACTUALLY GIVES MORE THIS GIVES SOME PROPERTY BACK TOWARDS IT OBVIOUSLY THAT THEY DID AND OR I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE BOUNDARY LINES ARE BUT BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT SO MUCH OF THE ENTRANCE DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE HAS GOT DIFFERENT MEDIANS AND STUFF COMING OFF REBAR ROAD THIS THIS PUTS IT ALL IN ONE LOCATION SO SOME OF THAT SPACE WOULD GO BACK TO THE PARK AND THEN OBVIOUSLY THE THE SHELL ROAD ROAD THAT WOULD BE CLOSED THE TOWN IS CONSIDERED USING THAT AS A AVENUE IN THE BACK OF THE

[00:50:07]

OKAY IT'S LIKE A THANK YOU FOR MEETING SEPARATELY WITH THE HOSPITAL WITH RUSSELL BAXLEY AND WE GOT A LOT OF GOOD COMMENTS FROM HIM AND THEIR CONCERNS REGARDING SAFETY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO THE HOSPITAL AND I HOPE WE'LL BE ABLE TO WORK THROUGH THOSE BUT I THINK THE PUBLIC WAS ANTICIPATE THEY WOULDN'T HAVE A LOT OF INPUT BUT THEY HAVE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEXT RENDITION OF IT AND I'VE BEEN FORWARDING MY CONSTITUENTS COMMENTS TO YOU. I'VE BEEN GETTING THE EMAIL AND I JUST LIKE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENCOURAGE THE PUBLIC TO KEEP SENDING COMMENTS TO YOUR DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES SO WE CAN THEM ON. THANK YOU AGAIN.

THAT'S A LOT OF WORK. THANK YOU. AND YOUR GUYS HAVE A COUPLE ONE OF THEM WOULD BE WHAT IS YOUR RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS PORT ROYAL AREA? DO YOU THINK IT SHOULD BE DONE FIRST? SO I THINK WE DO THE DESIGN AND THE NEPA ON THE ENTIRE PROJECT AND THEN DEPENDING FUNDING SALES TAX THERE'S A LOT OF DEPENDENTS THAT THAT PROCESS ITSELF IS GOING TO BE IT'S ON 18 OR 18 MONTHS OR 24 MONTHS AFTER WE GET THROUGH NEPA AND THEY WANT TO SEE IT AS ONE THING.

THAT'S HOW THEY LIKE TO LOOK AT PROJECTS ANYHOW. THEN WE CAN DECIDE IF WE NEED TO PHASE IT. IF WE DO START PHASING IT IT MAY MAKE SENSE TO START ON THE SOUTHERN END COULD I KNOW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN I GET MY DIRECTIONS RIGHT WE'RE ON THE NORTH SIDE HERE SO ON THAT SOUTH SIDE TOWARDS PORT ROYAL WHERE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT FIVE LANES THROUGH PART OF THERE HOW MUCH EASEMENTS ARE RIGHT AWAY DO YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GET IN SOME OF THOSE LOCATIONS COMPARED TO DOWN HERE? WE SAID WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO A THREE LANE IN THIS PROPOSAL. WELL, IN THIS PROPOSAL ON THE THREE LANE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE AS MANY REDWOOD CONCERNS IF WE KEPT IT AS FOUR LANES OR FIVE LANES IN THAT STATION.

WE'D HAVE MORE RIGHT OF WAY CONCERNS ON THE SECTION THAT ARE FIVE LANES ALREADY BY THE HOSPITAL. YEAH THE MAJOR RIGHT AWAY IS FOUR.

YOU CAN SEE IN THE CROSS SECTION HERE A TEN FOOT PATHWAY ON THE HOSPITAL SIDE ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND THEN THE GRASS STRIP THE FIVE FOOT SIDEWALL IS PRETTY CLOSE TO WHAT'S OUT THERE ALREADY SO IT MAY BE ON ONE SIDE ONLY OR IT MAY BE WHATEVER IT IS IS MORE LIKELY IN THE MATTER OF 10 TO 15 FEET WHETHER THAT'S THE ENTIRE STRETCH OR IT MEANDERS A LITTLE BIT THAT WOULD BE DETERMINED. SO AGAIN, WE'RE IN THE 50,000 FOOT VIEW.

WE WOULDN'T KNOW THAT ANSWER A LITTLE BIT UNTIL WE GET FURTHER IN THE 30% OR BEYOND DESIGN ONCE WE HAVE SURVEY, HAS THAT PROCESS DONE FOR THOSE EASEMENTS OR RIGHT AWAY BY PROPERTY. BY PROPERTY, YEAH. ON BOUNDARY STREET 20 3040 MORE THAN THAT. YEAH ON BOUNDARY STREET WE HAD CLOSE TO CLOSE TO 100 PROPERTIES. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME.

I ASK THE QUESTION BECAUSE WE SPENT ALL THIS TIME GETTING FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY AND PUTTING TOGETHER A PLAN WITH ALL THAT FEEDBACK INCLUDING FROM THE PROFESSIONALS.

BUT THAT'S I JUST WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW THAT THOSE TYPE OF THINGS DO TAKE TIME TO MAKE THE THINGS POSSIBLE THAT YOU WANT DONE THAT'S GOING TO TAKE THE STAFF A WHILE TO GET ALL THOSE EASEMENTS AND RIGHT A WAYS MAKE THIS SUCCESSFUL. MY LAST QUESTION WAS YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT FUNDING IT IS OUR SALES TAX OUR POSSIBLE SALES TAX COMING UP NEXT YEAR A POSSIBLE FUNDING SOURCE FOR PART OF THIS ALL OF IT OR ARE WE LOOKING FOR OTHER AVENUES? YEAH SO I WOULD SAY A LARGE PORTION OF IT AND THEN WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO RAISE OUR HAND OTHER FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES. SO JUST WITH MOST OF SALES TAX PROJECTS THEY'RE ONLY PARTIALLY FUNDED FROM SALES TAX AND SALES TAX WHEN A REFERENDUM IS INITIATED IT'S A IT'S A ONE SHOT A POINT IN TIME AND YOU DON'T HAVE ALL OF THESE PROJECTS DEVELOPED TO KNOW THE FULL VALUE OF THE PROJECT. YOU JUST HAVE AN IDEA. SO IT WOULD BE A LARGE PORTION THAT WE GO FIND OTHER FUNDING THE MATTER WITH. SO MY LAST THING AND YOU SAID WE'RE OUT OF 50,000 FOR YOU RIGHT NOW WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM US TODAY TO BRING THAT DOWN TO 40 OR 30 OR JUST THE COMMENTS THAT I'VE HEARD SO FAR HAVE BEEN GREAT AND THEN AGAIN WE'LL COME BACK TO TO THE DESIGN ENGINEERS. WE'LL PROVIDE THE COMMENTS FROM ALL THE THREE STAKEHOLDERS IN THE HOSPITAL AND THEN WE'LL MAKE ANOTHER RENDITION OF THE OF THE PROPOSED PLAN AND BRING IT BACK AND HOPEFULLY AT THAT POINT IT'S IN A IN A PLACE WHERE WE CAN PRESENT IT AS A QUICK UPDATE AND AND TAKE IT TO ADOPTION AND THAT WOULD GET US DOWN TO THE 40,000. I THINK MR. GLOVER'S RIGHT YOU'RE THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THE JOB SO GOOD LUCK. THANK YOU. GOOD LUCK.

HOW WAS THE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT RECORD ON SOUTHPORT ROAD SINCE THEY PUT THE NEW WRONG ABOUT IN

[00:55:06]

I THINK THE OTHER ROUNDABOUTS WOULD BE A SMALLER SCALE LIKE THE ONES YOU WOULD SEE ON HILTON HEAD THEY'RE THEY'RE SMALLER ONE LANE ROUNDABOUTS BUT THAT ONE IS A FULL RIGHT AND YOU SHOULD HAVE THAT DATA PRE AND POST THOSE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'D BE ABLE TO USE THAT AS A GUIDE. YEAH BECAUSE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW IN BLUFFTON THEY WERE PRETTY WELL USED THAT WE TEACH PEOPLE FROM OHIO HOW TO DRIVE A ROAD HERE AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S IT. THEN YOU CAN TAKE A BREAK FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE WE CALL YOU BACK UP. ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

[8. RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO AWARD INFRASTRUCTURE CONSULTING AND ENGINEERING THE DESIGN CONTRACT FOR MIDTOWN DRIVE CONNECTOR ROAD (FISCAL IMPACT: $188,370 The contract fee is $163,800. Staff recommends a 15% contingency of $24,570, bringing the project budget to $188,370. The funding for this project is Capital Funds approved in the 2022/41 Budget Amendment Ordinance – account 1040-20-1243-54500 with a balance of $232,640.21) - Jared Fralix, Assistant County Administrator, Infrastructure]

I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. OKAY.

I THERE WAS SOME CHECK. NO, NO, NO. MARY LOU GOING AROUND OR POSSIBLY A LOOP TURN AROUND. I DON'T KNOW THAT ONE EITHER. MAKE SENSE LIKE THIS.

THIS IS A MAP. I APOLOGIZE. THIS IS THE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT THE TOWN DID IN 2017. THIS IS AN EXHIBIT OUT OF THAT AND TO THE NORTH WHERE YOU JUST SEE THE WRITING AT THE TOP RIGHT OF THE PAGE THAT IS PIERS ISLAND GATEWAY AND THAT IS THE THE STOPLIGHT THERE COMING IN TO THE SHOPPING CENTER. SO THESE WERE THE THREE ROUTES THAT WERE LOOKED AT BACK IN 2017 AND THEY STILL STAND AS VALID ALTERNATIVES.

SO THE ROUTE THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED LOOKING AT IS THE BLUE ROUTE WHICH WOULD BASICALLY CONTINUE MIDTOWN DRIVE THROUGH THE THERE'S A MEDICAL PLAZA ON THE LEFT AND AN APARTMENT COMPLEX ON THE RIGHT AND THEN AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT BEFORE ON THE ON THE FAR LEFT IS BROAD RIVER DRIVE AND IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BLUE WHERE IT GOES HORIZONTAL IT ENTERS INTO OUR COUNTY PARK THERE. SO IT WOULD BE CROSSING UPON THE TOP OF OUR PART THAT WE ALREADY OWN AND THEN TIME BACK INTO BROAD BOULEVARD SO AS AS COUNCILMAN HOWARD MENTIONED THERE WASN'T FUNDING AT THAT TIME IN 2017. AGAIN THIS IS THE INVESTMENT THAT COUNTY COUNCIL PROVIDED. THIS WOULD BE A SAFETY PROJECT THAT WE WOULD PROPOSE AND GET STARTED WITH THE FUNDING THAT'S THERE ON THE DESIGN AND THIS COMING OUT OF CAPITAL FUNDS, CORRECT? YEAH. SO THAT CAPITAL PLAN ACCOUNTS THAT THAT INVESTMENT FUNDS THAT COUNTY COUNCIL SET ASIDE FOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO COPY THEM. YES WE CAN WE'LL EMAIL YOU THIS THIS IS PART OF A REPORT FROM THAT 2017 REPORT. IT WAS THE REST OF THE REPORT IS HARD TO READ BUT THE MAP WAS ON IT. BUT WE'LL SEND THIS MAP OUT. OKAY.

[9. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR MATCHING FUNDS FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY’S PORTION OF THE LOCAL MATCH FOR THREE PLANNING STUDIES THROUGH LOWCOUNTRY AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY (LATS) AND THE APPROVAL OF THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDINGS (MOU) WITH LATS FOR EACH OF THE THREE PLANNING STUDIES (FISCAL IMPACT: The match for the Bluffton Parkway’s study will come from 2000 Bluffton impact fees professional services account 2300-30-0000-51160 with a balance of $7,331,998.85. The match for the SC315/SC 46’s study and the Northern Transit Study will come from TAG funds professional services account 2342-30-0000-51160 with a balance of $1,558,409.65) - Jared Fralix, Assistant County Administrator, Infrastructure]

NO OBJECTION. NUMBER NINE RECOMMEND APPROVE A RESOLUTION FOR MATCHING FUNDS FOR COUNTY'S PORTION OF A LOCAL MATCH FOR THREE PLANNING STUDIES THROUGH LOWCOUNTRY AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY AND THE APPROVAL OF THE MEMO YOU WITH LAST FOR EACH OF THE THREE PLANNING STUDIES OF EMOTION I'LL MAKE THE MOTION SECOND PLEASE I'LL SECOND THAT DISCUSSION ANY OBJECTION AND THIS WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH NO OBJECTION THEN ON ONE THING REAL QUICK I APOLOGIZE FOR THE NO USE WE'RE NOT INCLUDED AS THE BACKUP MATERIAL SO I TALKED WITH THE CLERK AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE BASICALLY THE SAY THE SAME THING THAT THE RESOLUTION DID IN THE BACKUP MATERIAL BUT THEY JUST SPEAK TO THAT SPECIFICALLY. SO SHE WAS GOING TO ADD THAT AS ADD ON TO THE AGENDA AFTER AFTER THE MEETING. OKAY. SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. NO. SO DOES THIS SEEM TO GO FORWARD

[10. A PRESENTATION TO COUNTY COUNCIL ON THE COMPREHENSIVE BOAT LANDING STUDY - Eric Larson, Capital Projects Director]

MR. LARSON AFTERNOON COUNCIL. I WANT TO BE VERY BRIEF. I'M GOING TO HAND IT OFF TO OUR CONSULTANT THAT DID THIS PROJECT. THIS IS THE COMPREHENSIVE BOAT LANDING STUDY PROJECT THAT WAS BEGAN IN OCTOBER 2021. THE TWO GENTLEMEN FROM CREECH AND ASSOCIATES CRAIG AND MICHAEL YOU KNOW AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT THE THEY WERE THE PROJECT MANAGERS AND DID THIS REPORT THE REPORT AS YOU LISTEN TO THIS SHORT PRESENTATION FOCUSED ON THREE THINGS IT WAS INVENTORY OUR EXISTING LANDINGS ,FUTURE EXPANSION OF THE LANDINGS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY AND THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF BOATING ON OUR COMMUNITY.

AND FROM THERE THE STUDY PREPARED ASSESSMENTS OF OUR OUR EXISTING LANDINGS AND REPAIRS NEEDED AN OPERATIONS MANUAL A MASTER PLANNING AND COST ANALYSIS OF FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS. SO WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY I WANT TO BRING UP CRAIG AND MICHAEL AND LET THEM DO THE PRESENTATION. THANK YOU.

HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING US TO COME AND PRESENT OUR FINDINGS FINDINGS FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE BOAT LANDING STUDY. I CAN POP UP ON THE SCREEN I SO A PROJECT OF THIS SIZE INVOLVES MANY DIFFERENT PLAYERS IN THIS IN THIS PROJECT HERE WITH ME TODAY MY NAME IS MICHAEL ESPINO ON THE PROJECT MANAGER FROM CREECH AND ASSOCIATES.

I'D LIKE ME WAS INTRODUCED BEFORE CRAIG WITH J.G. T ENGINEERING I THINK IT WAS SAID THIS PROJECT KICKED OFF IN 2021 IT REALLY FOCUSED ON FIVE MAIN COMPONENTS INDIVIDUAL PLANNING ASSESSMENTS WHERE WE WENT OUT AND LOOKED AT YOUR EXISTING INVENTORY, LOOKED FOR DEFICIENCIES AND OTHER ITEMS THEN THAT TRANSFORMED INTO A STANDARD OPERATIONS MANUAL.

SO THE INFORMATION THAT WE LEARNED DOING THESE ASSESSMENTS WE CAME UP WITH A STANDARD MANUAL THAT THE COUNTY CAN USE TO MAINTAIN THESE ASSETS OVER THE NEXT FIVE, TEN, 20 YEARS.

AND WE ALSO LOOKED AT A MASTER PLANNING STUDY FOR ALL THE BOAT LANDINGS LOOKING AT WHAT WAS BEING USED AND YOUR CURRENT INVENTORY AND HOW WE COULD MAKE THIS EXPERIENCE BETTER.

THEN WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE ECONOMIC IMPACT BOATING IN THE COUNTY AND THEN QUICKLY LOOKED AT SOME CAPITAL PLANNING TO TRY TO HELP FINANCE SOME OF THESE PROJECTS SO IN GENERAL THE BIG PIECE OF THIS WAS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT. WE HAD FIVE PUBLIC SETS WHERE WE HAD KIND OF A MIXED BAG OF ATTENDANCE. SOME WERE REALLY, REALLY WELL ATTENDED AND OTHERS NOT SO MUCH. BUT WE DID TRY TO COUNTERACT THAT BY PUTTING ON AN ONLINE SURVEY WHERE WE HAD OVER 750 RESPONSES FOR THE ONLINE SURVEY PORTION AND THEN WE ALSO LOOKED AT 28 SITES. IT WAS A MIXTURE BETWEEN A LANDINGS AND FISHING PIERS. SO THIS WAS A COMPLICATED PROJECT, TOOK A YEAR AND A HALF ,ENDED UP IN A REPORT THAT'S A COUPLE OF HUNDRED PAGES. WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO DELETE THAT DOWN TODAY AND JUST HIT THE BIG TOPICS. BUT LET'S GIVE YOU A ROUGH IDEA OF HOW THIS PROJECT WORKED. WHEN WE STARTED WE WE WORKED ON GETTING AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE TOGETHER, FOLKS THAT WOULD BE WITH US THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF THE PROJECT WE MET EVERY EVERY TWO WEEKS ROUGHLY THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF THE PROJECT ALL THE WAY TO THE END JUST SO THAT WE CAN BOUNCE IDEAS, SHARE IDEAS, MEET WITH DIFFERENT FOLKS.

AND THEN AFTER WE HAD THAT START UP THEN WE SPLIT OFF AND WE HAD KIND OF THREE ACTIVITIES RUNNING IN PARALLEL. SO THE FIRST ONE WAS OUR ASSESSMENT TEAM WENT OUT TO THESE VARIOUS SITES AND DID AN ASSESSMENT OF THE MARINE AND THE UPLAND COMPONENTS.

THEN WE ALSO KICKED OFF OUR ONLINE SURVEYS AND OUR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS AND LASTLY WE STARTED TALKING TO OTHER OTHER DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE COUNTY TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY OVERLAP WITH WHAT WE WERE DOING AND WHAT THEY WERE DOING. SO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ASSESSMENTS HANDED OVER TO CRAIG. SO THE ASSESSMENT IS BASICALLY WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS KIND OF ABSTRACT SHORT IN TIME GO OUT AND LOOK AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH EACH ONE OF THESE INDIVIDUAL SITES. YOU KNOW WE HAVE EVERYTHING FROM THE BOAT RAMPS AND THE FISHING PIER SO BASICALLY JUST WAY OUT WE HAD TWO DIFFERENT ROUTES. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE UPLANDS WHERE WE WANT TO LOOK AT PARKING. WE WANTED TO LOOK AT DRAINAGE GRADING.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE AREAS OF EROSION OR OTHER AREAS AND PONDING IN THE PARKING AREAS OR THERE YOU KNOW ,PROBLEMS WE WANT TO LOOK AT A.D.A. PARKING BARRIER, FREE ACCESS ALL THOSE SORTS OF THINGS ON THE UPLANDS AND THEN ALSO AS WE GET DOWN INTO THE MARINE STRUCTURES ITSELF, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE HEAVILY USED FACILITIES AS WE ALL KNOW

[01:05:03]

SO WE REALLY WANT TO DO IS JUST SORT OF A BASE AND THIS ACTUALLY GOES BACK OUR FIRM WAS INVOLVED IN A STUDY THAT WAS DONE IN 2007 SO THIS WE WENT BACK AND LOOKED AT KIND OF WHERE WE THINGS FROM THERE TO NOW AND JUST SORT OF YOU KNOW WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING WHAT WAS THERE AND AS WE WENT THROUGH THIS ASSESSMENT WE BASICALLY TOOK WHAT WE LEARNED AND WE WANTED TO PRESERVE THAT INTO THE INTO SOMETHING THE COUNTY COULD USE ON A DAILY BASIS. PUBLIC WORKS GOES OUT, VISITED THESE SITES TWICE A WEEK IN SUMMER MONDAYS AND FRIDAYS THEY ADDRESS EVERYTHING FROM TRASH RECYCLING.

THEY LOOK FOR ISSUES AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS JUST HAVE A CHECKLIST THAT THEY CAN SIMPLY GO THROUGH WHEN THEY MADE THE SITE VISIT DIFFERENT STAFF MEMBERS DOING DIFFERENT VISITS AT DIFFERENT TIMES YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES AT LOW TIDE WHERE MORE THINGS VISIBLE.

SO WE WANT TO DO THAT. SO THEY ENDED UP WITH THE ASSESSMENTS OF ALL THESE SITES AND THEN ONCE WE WENT THROUGH THAT WENT TO THE OPERATIONS MANUAL WE LOOKED AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS. YEAH. ONE WAS BASICALLY A STANDARDIZED CHECKLIST. YOU KNOW THESE ARE THINGS WE LEARNED THESE ARE AREAS THEY'RE ITEMS OR WEARING OR BREAKING THAT NEED ATTENTION ON A REGULAR BASIS THAT WE'VE SEEN.

WE WANTED TO BRING THAT TO THE ATTENTION OF STAFF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT IS SIMPLY, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THE SITE IS CLEAR AND CLEAN WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, TRASH IS PICKED UP. THERE'S NO MAINTENANCE ALLOWED AT ANY OF THESE FACILITIES.

BUT YOU KNOW, YOU WILL HAVE PEOPLE PUTTING OIL IN BOATS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO WE WANT TO ALWAYS STAY ON TOP OF THAT. SIGNAGE WAS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO THE COUNTY IS GOOD JOB THEY HAVE THESE LARGE BLUE SIGNS WHICH KIND OF GIVE RULES AND REGULATIONS, HOURS OF OPERATIONS, PHONE NUMBERS FOR CONTACT WITH PUBLIC WORKS FOR ANY IMMEDIATE ISSUES. SO WE WANTED TO KIND OF HAVE A UNIFORM STANDARD OF SIGNAGE ACROSS ALL THE BOAT LANDINGS AND FISHING PIERS AND THEN REALLY JUST KIND OF A TAKE ALL THIS AND PUT IT TOGETHER SO WE WOULD HAVE A SITE FILE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL FACILITY THAT WOULD LAST THE FACILITY FOR YEARS, DECADES TO GO AND EVERYTHING FROM BASIC INFORMATION, YOU KNOW, DEEDS AND SURVEYS AND OPEN MINUTES AND ALL THE ENGINEERING DRAWINGS MOVING FORWARD WHERE THEY COULD KEEP TRACK OF THE YOU KNOW, THE WEEKLY BIWEEKLY INSPECTIONS.

SO IT REALLY JUST KIND OF LOOK AT THE LIFECYCLE OF SOME OF THE MATERIALS THAT ARE BEING YOU KNOW, WE'RE SEEING THINGS THAT ARE BREAKING IN CLEATS AND, RUBBER NAILS AND THINGS SO THEY CAN KIND OF PLAN THE COUNTY CAN KEEP SOME OF THESE MATERIALS ON HAND PLAN STAFF'S WORK TO GO OUT AND KIND OF KEEP AN EYE ON THESE THINGS BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE THE IS THE USE OF THESE FACILITIES IN COUNTY IS BLESSED WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF WONDERFUL WATER ACCESS AND YOU KNOW, AS MIKE WILL GO INTO AND JUST BRINGS A LOT OF ECONOMIC INPUT INTO THE COUNTY SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THESE ARE GOOD AND SAFE AND USABLE FOR ALL WHETHER IT'S SOMEONE LOCAL USE IT EVERY DAY OR SOMEONE WHO'S VISITING FOR THE FIRST TIME POSSIBLY FROM FROM OUT OF TOWN. SO MICHAEL TALKED ABOUT SORT OF HOW THIS INFORMED OUR OUR MASTER PLAN BUILT. THANK YOU. SO AS YOU CAN TELL THE BEGINNING PART OF THE STUDY REALLY FOCUSED ON INFORMATION GATHERING THROUGH THROUGH THE VARIOUS AVENUES WHEN WE GO INTO THE MASTER PLANNING FOR THE COUNTY WE REALLY LOOKED AT THREE MAIN COMPONENTS IT WAS INFORMATION GATHERING AND THEN RUNNING AN ANALYSIS TO SEE WHAT THAT INFORMATION YIELDED DOING GAP ANALYSIS, LOOKING AT SPECIFIC SOLUTIONS OR INDIVIDUAL LANDINGS THAT MAY HAVE HAD SOME DEFICIENCIES OR WE FOUND WERE NOT EFFICIENT.

AND THEN REALLY THE LAST SECTION WAS OUR RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COUNTY.

SO IN THE FIRST SECTION WE WHEN WE'RE GATHERING INFORMATION WE WENT BACK WE LOOKED AT THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH SESSION NOTES, WE LOOKED THROUGH THE ONLINE SURVEYS WHICH WAS A LOT TO TAKE IN BUT IT HAD SOME REALLY GOOD INFORMATION IN THERE, LOOKED POPULATION STATISTICS AND WE LOOKED AT FUTURE GROWTH PROJECTIONS. SO SURE IT'S NO NEW NEWS TO YOU THAT YOUR COUNTY'S FAIRLY FAIRLY QUICKLY. SO THE EXAMPLE THAT YOU SEE ON

[01:10:06]

WE STARTED ANALYZING ALL OF THE LAUNCHES TRYING TO FIND OUT IF WE HAD AN ADEQUATE AMOUNT OF LANDINGS IN THESE ZONES AND THEN JUST LOOKING AT PARKING AND SOME OF THE OTHER COMPONENTS THAT MAKE UP THE SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH. THE LAST PORTION OF THIS IS OUR RECOMMENDATIONS AND SO I'M SURE IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT THERE WERE SOME ZONES THAT WE STUDIED JUST DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH LANDINGS IN IT. SO THE EASY ANSWER WITH ANY ONE OF THESE IS HOW YOU NEED SOME NEW LANDINGS IN THESE SPECIFIC ZONES.

RIGHT. THIS ONE IDENTIFIED ZONES FIVE, SIX AND SEVEN TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT AND LOOK AT A DIFFERENT WAY TO APPROACH THIS PROBLEM IS TO INTRODUCE THE IDEA OF EFFICIENCY. AND SO THERE'S KIND OF A WHEN WE DESIGN THESE NEW LANDINGS WE LOOK AT THIS KIND OF RATIO THAT'S ONE RAMP SERVES 30 PARKING SPACES.

OKAY. AND SO WHAT WE DID WITH THAT IS GO BACK AND ANALYZE SOME OF THESE DEFICIENT ZONES AND SAY, YOU KNOW, IS THERE AN EASIER SOLUTION TO SOME THESE WELL, THE COUNTY CONTINUES TO LOOK FOR THESE NEW LANDINGS. CAN WE CAN WE SOLVE SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS IN A DIFFERENT WAY? SO WE WENT BACK AND STUDIED ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT DIFFERENT LANDINGS AND WE ORGANIZED OUR RECOMMENDATIONS INTO HIGH PRIORITY, MEDIUM PRIORITY AND LOW PRIORITY SOLUTIONS. SO OUT OF THE HIGH PRIORITY THE SIX STRATEGIES AND WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TODAY TO DOVE IN ON ALL OF THEM.

SO I'VE JUST PULLED OUT SOME EXAMPLE STRATEGIES. SO IN THE HIGH PRIORITY THESE ARE THESE ARE ITEMS THAT WE HAD SOME COLLABORATION WITH OTHER COUNTY DEPARTMENTS THERE WAS LOW OR NO LAND ACQUISITION COSTS AND THEY WERE THEY WERE ADJACENT TO SOME OF THESE ZONES OF DEFICIENCY IN TOTAL FOR THE HIGH PRIORITY WE FOUND ABOUT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS YIELDED ABOUT SEVEN AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF STUFF. MEDIUM PRIORITY ONES IS A STEP DOWN. WE DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH INTERACTION WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS. THERE IS SOME LAND ACQUISITION COST ASSOCIATED WITH IT ALTHOUGH WE TRIED TO KEEP THAT FAIRLY MINIMAL FOR CHUNKS OF LAND THAT WERE LESS EXPENSIVE OR WHAT WE FELT MIGHT BE LESS EXPENSIVE. WE CAME UP WITH FIVE STRATEGIES FOR THAT AGAIN IN ABOUT SEVEN AND A HALF MILLION AND THEN WE HAD THE OUTLIERS THAT FELL INTO THE LOW PRIORITY. THESE ARE THE MOST EXPENSIVE SOLUTIONS.

THESE ARE WATERFRONT LOTS THAT ARE GOING TO BE VERY COSTLY TO TO OBTAIN THEN DEVELOP AND SO THESE ONES WE STILL CAME UP WITH SOME STRATEGIES WE REALLY KIND OF LOOKED AT THOSE AS PARCELS LISTED SOME OF THE PARCEL INFORMATION AND THEN AS A TEAM WITH OUR ADVISORY COMMITTEE WE DECIDED TO KIND OF LEAVE THAT PORTION ALONE. SO FROM HERE ON OUT WE FOCUSED ON THE HIGH AND THE MEDIUM PRIORITY ZONE. SO AN EXAMPLE OF A HIGH PRIORITY SOLUTION WOULD BE AUDIENCE ZOOM IN THIS PARTICULAR OPTION WE CAME UP WITH TWO KIND OF SUBSETS OF THE SOLUTION. WE WORKED WITH THE RURAL AND CRITICAL LANDS FOLKS TO COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS THEY ON THAT YOU GOT COUNTY OWNS THAT PARCEL THAT'S ADJACENT TO IT RIGHT NOW THERE'S FAIRLY MINIMAL PARKING I WANT TO SAY ABOUT 24 BUT YOU ALSO HAVE THREE LANES OR THE LAUNCH IS WIDE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE THREE LANES.

SO AGAIN GOING BACK TO THAT ONE LANE FOR 30 PARKING SPOTS YOU CAN TELL THAT THIS IS A PRETTY UNDERUTILIZED AREA. AND SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT EFFICIENCY WORKS, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THERE'S A WAY TO BRING THAT RATIO FROM THE LAUNCH LANES TO THE PARKING CAPACITY IN A BETTER BALANCE. AND SO THE FIRST FIRST OPTION AFTER WORKING WITH RURAL AND CRITICAL LANDS, WE WERE WE WERE KIND OF WE DECIDED THAT WE COULD HAVE A QUARTER OF THE OF THE LOT IN ORDER TO ADD SOME PARKING AND THIS A SHARED AMENITY SOLUTION.

SO IT'S NOT JUST TRAILHEAD PARKING THERE'S ALSO VEHICLE PARKING.

THERE WAS IDEAS ABOUT SOME BATHROOM FACILITIES AND PAVILION SO ALL THAT KIND OF GETS INCORPORATED INTO THE SITE PLAN. AND THEN THE SECOND OPTION WHICH I THINK IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD REALLY NEED TO BE STUDIED WE HAD SOME CONCERNS WE LISTED HERE JUST TO SHOW ANOTHER WAY THAT YOU COULD EXPAND IS PARALLEL PARKING ALONG THE STREET. I THINK OUR TEAM HAD SOME CONCERNS ABOUT HOW TRAILER PARKING AND PARALLEL PARKING WOULD WORK AND THEN ALSO THE INCREASED TRAFFIC FLOW THAT WOULD BE PLACED AT THE NEAREST INTERSECTION TO TRY TO TURN THESE AROUND BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHEN YOU LAUNCH A BOAT YOU HAVE TO MANEUVER IT AROUND, GET IT IN THE WATER AND THEN PARKING AND THEN SPIN BACK AROUND, GET IT. SO THERE ARE SOME SOME ISSUES I THINK WITH WITH OPTION TWO BUT THAT'S WHERE OUR DISCUSSIONS LED.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE WERE OUT OF HERE AND FOCUSING ON THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE.

YOU KNOW WE HAVE A SLIGHT PARKING DEFICIT OF 66 AND WE ALSO HAVE A ZONE PARKING DEFICIT OF 172. SO IT'S A IT'S A PRETTY IMPACTFUL AND IF THERE'S ANY WAY TO INCREASE OR BUILD UPON WHAT WE WHAT WE CAME OUT OF THE STUDY WITH, I THINK YOU WOULD

[01:15:03]

THERE WAS A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION THERE. I THINK THAT YOU KNOW, THIS IS A HEAVILY USED LAUNCH AND TRYING TO CREATE SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING HERE I THINK WOULD CHECK A LOT OF BOXES NOT ONLY FROM THE LAUNCH EFFICIENCY BUT JUST THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WELL. SO HERE AGAIN WE'RE LOOKING AT A SOLUTION THAT PROVIDES MORE TRAILER PARKING. ALSO HAS SOME NON TRAILER PARKING.

THIS IS ONE OF THE LAUNCHES WE HEARD THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE KIND OF PICKED UP FROM JUMP IN A BOAT, GO ELSEWHERE. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ACCOMMODATED THAT AS WELL.

THIS PARTICULAR SCHEME YOU HAVE A SLIGHT PARKING DEFICIENCY AT 44 WITH THE EXISTING PARKING AND THEN A ZONE PARKING DEFICIENCY OF 76. SO NOT AS BAD AS THE FIRST ONE BUT IT'S STILL AN AREA THAT COULD THAT COULD REALLY BENEFIT FROM SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING AND AS WE MOVE INTO THE MEDIUM PRIORITY EXAMPLES SO THE ONE THAT WE HIGHLIGHTED HERE IS WALLACE AND WE'VE WE'VE COME UP WITH A SHORT TERM EXPANSION SOLUTION AND A LONG TERM EXPANSION SOLUTION. SO IN THE SHORT TERM WE NOTICED THAT SOME OLD FILES THAT WE HAD DUG THROUGH HAD A SOLUTION THAT PROVIDED MORE PARKING AND WHEN WE LOOKED AT IT IF THE ROAD WERE SLIGHTLY RELOCATED TO A PLANNED NORTH IN THIS PICTURE YOU COULD GAIN THE THE PARKING THAT WAS PART OF THE ORIGINAL PLAN THAT JUST DIDN'T GET PUT IN AND THAT PROVIDES SOME SOME SHORT TERM SOLUTIONS. IT'S NOT A HUGE BUILD OUT BUT IT WILL AT LEAST PROVIDE A LITTLE BIT MORE PARKING FOR THAT AREA. AND THEN ANOTHER THE LONG TERM SOLUTION FOR THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL FIND THROUGHOUT A LOT OF OUR EXAMPLES WHERE RATHER THAN TRYING TO OBTAIN PARCELS THAT ARE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE LANDING WE LOOK AT A REMOTE PARKING SOLUTION. SO SOMETHING THAT'S YOU KNOW, MAYBE WITHIN A FIVE MINUTE WALK FROM THE LANDING WHERE YOU CAN REALIZE SOME SAVINGS ON THE LAND ITSELF AND YOU ALSO HAVE MORE AVAILABLE PARCELS TO KIND OF CHOOSE FROM FAIRLY COMMON AT SOME BOAT LANDINGS MAYBE NOT SO MUCH IN THIS AREA BUT ELSEWHERE. SO NOT A BAD SOLUTION AND WE GO TO THE NEXT EXAMPLE MEDIUM PRIORITY EXAMPLE OF BRICKYARD. THIS IS ONE THAT THAT REALLY, REALLY WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT FROM A MORE FORMALIZED PARKING PLAN CURRENTLY THIS THIS LANDING ONLY HAS A HANDFUL OF SPOTS. IT'S HEAVILY USED.

I THINK PEOPLE JUST KIND OF FIND A WAY TO PARK THEIR TRAILER ONCE THEY LAUNCH.

THERE'S NOTHING REALLY DESIGNATED HERE. SO THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE IF YOU COULD GET A HOLD OF THIS THIS HAS A SLIGHT PARKING DEFICIENCY OF 28 AND I THINK THIS ONE COMES WITH A SLIGHT CAVEAT THAT IF YOU WERE TO DEVELOP THE THE LANDING SUCH THAT WE'VE SHOWN HERE IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO ALSO INCREASE THE WIDTH OF OF THE RAMP TOO SO THAT YOU CAN ACCOMMODATE MORE PARKING BECAUSE THIS IS A PRETTY CENTRAL CENTRAL LANDING AND COULD HELP SOME OF THE IMMEDIATELY DEFICIENT ZONES AROUND THIS PARTICULAR LANDING . SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN? WHY IS WHY IS ANY OF THIS IMPORTANT WITH 18 OVER 18,000 REGISTERED VOTERS IN COUNTY, THE ECONOMIC IMPACT CAN BE SUBSTANTIAL. YOU KNOW, WHEN WE THINK ABOUT IMPACTS YOU HAVE SOURCES FOR THE EXISTING BOAT LANDINGS LIKE THE REVENUE THAT THE BOAT OWNERS ARE SPENDING HOTELS, RESTAURANTS, ETC. THEN YOU HAVE THE THE PROPOSED REPAIR ACTIVITIES.

RIGHT? AND SO YOU'LL GET SOME ECONOMIC IMPACT FROM THE REPAIR ACTIVITIES THEMSELVES AND THEN YOU ALSO HAVE AN INCREASED CAPACITY AT AT YOUR COUNTY LANDINGS, RIGHT? SO MORE BOATER SPENDING AND THEN WE ALSO COVER THE POTENTIAL FUTURE IMPACTS AGAIN CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES GENERATE A SOURCE OF INCOME BUT THEN YOU ALSO HAVE THIS INCREASED CAPACITY THAT ALLOWS FOR MORE MORE MOTOR SO QUICKLY WILL WILL RUN THROUGH WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IMPACTS IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE DIFFERENT TYPES THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. WE HAVE THE DIRECT IMPACT WHICH IS THE PROJECT COST THEMSELVES.

YOU HAVE THE INDIRECT IMPACT WHICH COULD BE SOMETHING LIKE OBTAINING MATERIALS FOR THE PROJECT AND THEN THE INDUCED IMPACTS WHICH WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THE WORKERS FOR THE PROJECT BUYING GOODS AND SERVICES ON THEIR WAY IN OUT OF WORK.

SO WE'LL LOOK AT SOME QUICK NUMBERS THAT OUR OUR MIRROR TEAM CAME UP WITH OUR ECONOMIC IMPACT TEAM THE AVERAGE TRIP COST IN 2022 WAS $256 PER TRIP AND AND YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKDOWN OF ALL GROCERY RESTAURANTS AND LODGING AS PART OF THAT.

YOU CAN ALSO SEE HERE ON THIS SLIDE THAT IF WE TAKE THE OVERALL SPENDING IN 2022 WITH

[01:20:06]

SO THAT ADDED TO THIS WOULD GENERATE SOME ADDITIONAL IMPACTS ON TOP OF THE ORIGINAL BOARD THAT'S 3.9 MILLION EXTRA ON TOP OF THE ORIGINAL FOUR AND THEN QUICKLY CAPITAL PLANNING OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS TO ALL PROJECTS YOU KNOW HOW TO WHAT ARE SOME THAT WE CAN POTENTIALLY THINK ABOUT FUNDING THESE PROJECTS SO WE'VE BROKEN DOWN THE COST INTO INTO TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES OF MONEY THERE'S THE CURRENT REPAIR COST IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE AND I THINK CRAIG HAD MENTIONED IT PREVIOUSLY THAT THE COUNTY HAS BEEN VERY GOOD WITH DURING THE COURSE OF THE STUDY NOT ONLY FINDING IMMEDIATE DANGERS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED BUT ANY OF THE LOW HANGING FRUIT CLEATS RUB RAILS, THOSE SORTS OF THINGS.

WE GENERATED A LIST AS WE WERE WORKING AND GAVE THAT TO THE COUNTY AND THEY'VE REPAIRED SOME OF THAT LOW HANGING FRUIT SO INSTEAD OF THE NINE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS THAT BRING IT DOWN TO ABOUT $9 MILLION IN REPAIR COSTS AND THEN IF WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE HIGH PRIORITY AND MEDIUM PRIORITIES ONLY THAT GENERATES ABOUT $1,515 MILLION.

SO YOU COME UP WITH A TOTAL PROJECT COST OF $24 MILLION SO OPTIONS FOR FUNDING THERE'S THE TRADITIONAL CERP OPTION WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT THEY UTILIZED I THINK IN ORDER TO FUND SOME OF THESE LOW HANGING FRUIT PROJECTS SO YOU CAN APPROACH IT IN A SIMILAR WAY.

WHAT I'VE DONE IS JUST BROKEN DOWN JUST SIMPLE YOU KNOW, FIVE, TEN, 15 AND 20 YEARS THERE'S ANOTHER OPTION FOR REVENUE BONDS IF YOU DID THE ENTIRE AMOUNT OF MONEY THERE'S SOME DISCLAIMERS LISTED BENEATH THAT. BUT IF YOU DO THE ENTIRE BUCKET OF MONEY, YOU KNOW, APPROXIMATE ANNUAL PAYMENT WOULD BE ABOUT $1,941,000.

SOME OTHER OPTIONS THAT CAME UP SURPRISINGLY CAME UP AT SEVERAL OF THE AND ALSO PART OF THE ONLINE SURVEYS WAS A PAY TO USE OPTION. THERE'S EXAMPLES OF THIS AND COUNTY IS AROUND YOU WHERE THEY BASICALLY PAY TO USE LISTED HERE AS A DAILY PAY OPTION THERE'S A COUPLE WE KIND OF FACTORED IN A RANGE OF WHAT WE SAW FOR SURROUNDING AREAS.

THERE'S ALSO AN ANNUAL PAY AND THERE'S A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT MEDIUMS THAT YOU CAN USE TO DO THIS. IT CAN BE SOFTWARE DRIVEN, IT CAN BE THESE PARKING PAY CAN BE A STICKER. THERE'S A NUMBER OF WAYS THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE THE IDEA OF OF PAY TO USE IS SOMETHING THAT CAME UP SURPRISINGLY THE MAJORITY OF FOLKS ON THE ONLINE SAID THEY'D BE WILLING TO SPEND SOME MONEY TO KEEP KEEP THE LANDINGS IN GOOD CONDITION ONE MAJOR THING TO CONSIDER ABOUT THIS OPTION IS THAT IF YOU STARTED A PAY PAY FOR USE PROGRAM IT MAY IMPACT SOME OF THE GRANTS AND OTHER POTENTIAL FUNDING THAT YOU GET FOR YOUR BOAT LANDINGS. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE STUDIED MORE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOT GAINING HERE AND LOSING IN ANOTHER CATEGORY ANOTHER PART OF THE FUNDING PROCESS WAS FOR US RESEARCH AND PROVIDE SOME GRANTS AND OTHER PROGRAM FUNDING OPTIONS. SO WE'VE CREATED THIS LIST HERE WITH A BRIEF DESCRIPTION UNDER EACH SOME OF THESE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE CONSIDERED FOR NOT ONLY YOUR REPAIR BUT YOUR EXPANSION AS WELL. AND THEN WE DID COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT SEEMED TO MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO US. IT WAS A HYBRID SOLUTION WHERE YOU UTILIZE SEE IP AND A REVENUE BOND OPTION AND ALSO WORK IN THE GRANT PIECE OF IT. AND SO YOU WOULD IT BASICALLY STATES THAT YOU WOULD FOR THE REPAIRS YOU WOULD CONTINUE YOUR SIP PROCESS, YOU WOULD MIX IN SOME RESEARCH EVERY FIVE YEARS OR SOME GRANTS TO SEE WHAT YOU COULD HELP OFFSET FROM YOUR COUNTY SPENDING AND THEN THE EXPANSION STRATEGIES YOU WOULD UTILIZE THE REVENUE BOND OPTION AND THAT WAY YOU'RE KIND OF BRINGING DOWN YOUR COST MIXING IN SOME OF THE MONEY THAT YOU CAN GET FROM THESE THESE GRANTS AND OTHER PROGRAMS AND SPREADING THAT MONEY OUT OVER THE NEXT 20 YEARS ESTIMATES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS YOU CONSIDER

[01:25:05]

IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED THAT WE HAVE SOME OF THAT ALREADY ONGOING? I BELIEVE SO I THINK WE STARTED THAT PROCESS BY TRYING TO GET AS MUCH INFORMATION COMPILED AS WE COULD AND SO THE REST OF IT WHEN IT COMES TO DEEDS I BELIEVE NEAL'S BEEN WORKING ON GATHERING ALL THAT INFORMATION AND GETTING THAT ALL TOGETHER THAT YOU DO HAVE A COMPREHENSIVE KIND OF ANALYSIS OF EACH OF YOUR ELEMENTS. OKAY, SO THAT IS UNDERWAY.

SO NEAL MAY KNOW DO WE KNOW HOW MANY OF THEM WE DON'T HAVE A CLEAR TITLE TO AT THIS POINT YET AND DURING COURSE OF THE STUDY SOME OF THOSE WERE OBTAINED.

SO I THINK HE'S BEEN DOING A GREAT JOB OF GETTING THAT STUFF ALL SQUARED AWAY.

YEAH, I WOULD JUST SAY THAT WE ALL KNOW PROTECTING OUR WATERWAYS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS WE HAVE TO DO IN COUNTY WITH OUR WATER. THAT'S THE DRIVING FACTOR OF OUR ECONOMY HERE IN COUNTY . BUT ACCESS TO THE WATER IS SOMETHING WE HAVE TO FOCUS ON TO NOT PROTECTING IT. SO I MEAN WE ALL KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO INVEST IN THIS. WE JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WAY WE DO WHICH AVENUE IS THE BEST. I'LL BE HONEST PEOPLE UP HERE I'VE HEARD BEFORE ABOUT A BIG PAY TO PLAY TYPE PERSON. I THINK OUR TAX DOLLARS ALREADY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AND WE PAY OUR TAX DOLLARS TO MAINTAIN THIS PROPERTY. SO THAT DOES MAKE ME A LITTLE WEARY BUT I DO THINK THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS ABOUT HOW WE CAN MAINTAIN THIS AND COME OUT WITH A LIST OR MAYBE RENTAL LIST THAT YOU MADE ON THERE OF THE SIX, SIX AND FIVE I BELIEVE TO SEE WHICH PROJECTS WE NEED TO START HITTING AND HOW WE CAN START GETTING THOSE ADDED INTO OUR FUTURE BUDGETS FOR COUNTY ANY. OTHER QUESTIONS IT WAS I THINK I APPRECIATE THE REPORT IN THE AREAS OF CONCERNS OF SOME OF THE AREAS THAT YOU HIGHLIGHTED AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE VISITOR OF THESE DOGS BOTH LANDINGS, YOU TALK ABOUT THE TOURISTIC AND YOU ALSO HAVE LOCAL RESIDENTS YOU YOU BREAK IT DOWN TO SEE HOW MANY LOCAL RESIDENTS USING IT VERSUS HOW MANY TOURISTS ARE COMING IN USING IT.

YEAH. YOU KNOW BECAUSE THE TOURISTS ONE IS IS ONE THAT I THINK WE CAN PIGGYBACK ON BECAUSE THE HOTELS ETCETERA ETCETERA YOU GET THE COMBINATION TAX THAT SORT OF STUFF BUT YOU ALSO GOT LOCAL RESIDENTS AND IT'D BE HARD FOR US TO ADD A FEE TO THEM YOU KNOW BECAUSE THEY FIGURE THEY'RE PAYING THE TAXES ALREADY AND YOU KNOW WE THREW THE FEE OPTION IN THERE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO EXPLORE ALL POSSIBILITIES FOR YOU GUYS.

WE'RE NOT CRAZY ABOUT IT EITHER BUT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION WE DO HAVE THAT INFORMATION.

SO OUT OF THE SURVEYS WE HAVE LISTED WHERE THEY CAME FROM, WHERE WERE TRAVELING FROM SO WE CAN EASILY KIND OF CRUNCH THOSE NUMBERS AND FIGURE A SPLIT. BUT I WILL TELL YOU MYSELF AND ONE OTHER PERSON FROM MY FIRM WELL THE ASSESSMENT TEAM WAS OUT DOING THEIR THING.

WE WENT OUT AND HAD SOME PERSONAL INTERCEPT INTERVIEWS WHERE WE BASICALLY SET UP A TENT AND WE HAD JUST INTERVIEWED FOLKS THAT WERE WILLING TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION AND SOME INSIGHT WITH US AND WE WERE PRETTY SURPRISED THAT IT WASN'T QUITE 5050 WAS PROBABLY MORE LIKE 60 4060 FROM IN COUNTY AND ABOUT 40 OUT OF COUNTY, 40% OUT OF COUNTY. YOU KNOW SO YOU HAVE A LOT OF FOLKS THAT ARE TRAVELING HERE FROM SURROUNDING COUNTIES AND UTILIZING YOUR WATERWAYS. YOU KNOW THE OTHER THING IS THAT AS A REVENUE SOURCE YOU KNOW THE STATE CHARGES EXPONENT OF THIS FOR LICENSE AND REUSE IS THERE A WAY WE COULD TAG ALONG TO A FEE TO GENERATE INCOME ON THAT AS WELL I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFIC ANSWER TO THAT BUT BUT I COULD PROBABLY GO ON AS A POSSIBILITY BUT I DIDN'T I DON'T THINK THERE'S AN ANSWER RIGHT NOW. I DON'T I WOULD HOPE THAT WE THIS COUNTY WOULD LOOK AT SEVERAL APPROACHES AND TRY TO DO ALL OF THESE AT ONE TIME.

I THINK WE WE REALLY THE GATEWAY TO THE OCEAN FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO CHARLESTON. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO JASPER COUNTY. THEY MAY GO TO COLLEGE IN COUNTIES WHO COME TO THE ENDS TOO. BUT WE WENT THERE AND WE GATEWAY TO A LOT OF INLAND FOLKS COMING YEARS AND I WOULD WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE SAFETY GEAR AND THE TAKE YOU THE BOAT LANDING MAKE IT FITTING FOR ANYBODY TO COME TO AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN LOOK AT IT

[01:30:09]

I'LL TELL YOU IN THE MISTAKES WE MADE IN THIS COUNTY WHICH IS A POSITIVE ONE BUT WE PUT A WIDER WHOLE BOAT LANDING IN THE SHORE AND RIGHT NOW FOR EVERYBODY AND I'VE HEARD FROM A LOT OF LOCALS SAY WE WANT THE SAME THING IN IT WAS OPEN STATION CREEPING IN AND SOME OF THE LANDINGS LEND THEMSELVES BETTER TO YOU KNOW CREATING SOMETHING THAT THAT CHECKS ALL OF THE BOXES YOU KNOW IT WAS INTERESTING WHEN WE HAD SOME OF THESE RATS WE HAD DIFFERENT STATIONS SET UP. ONE OF THEM WAS ONE TYPE OF AMENITIES YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR LANDINGS. WE THOUGHT THERE WOULD BE A LOT MORE FOR PICKING SHELTERS, THINGS LIKE THAT. IT REALLY DIDN'T DIDN'T GRAVITATE TOWARDS THAT.

WHAT THEY REALLY CARED ABOUT WAS PARKING AND AND THE LAUNCH BEING MAINTAINED AND WELL-KEPT AND EASY TO USE. SO IT WAS IT WAS IT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH SESSIONS WERE EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE AS AS THE SERVICE SOME NOT SO GOOD BUT MOST WERE CLOSED FOR GOOD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR. LARSON.

ANYTHING ELSE ON YOUR END? I WANTED TO KNOW THE PROJECT MANAGERS ON THIS REALLY WERE NEIL JUST BEHIND ME AND MARK ROSENOW. SO THEY DESERVE A LOT OF THE EFFORT I CAME IN THIS LATE I WAS THE NAYSAYER THAT JUST POKE HOLES IN THE PLAN AND SAY WHAT IF, WHAT IF, WHAT IF WE MENTION THE ECONOMIC PART OF IT? WE REALLY DID DECIDE THAT WE NEEDED TO COME UP WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT FUNDING OPTIONS THAT WERE AVAILABLE BECAUSE IT WAS CLEAR EARLY ON THAT WE WERE NOT GOING TO GET CONSENSUS OF THE FUNDING OPTION TO PUT IN THIS REPORT. SO SO A LOT OF DISCUSSION HERE. THIS WAS EMAILED TO YOU TODAY.

YES. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE HARD COPY.

I'M GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE WITH JOHN. SO IT WOULD A JOURNALIST OVER BORROW SO IF YOU NEED SOME LATE NIGHT INSOMNIA READING YOU GOT YOUR LAPTOP IF YOU WANT TO WORK OUT AT THE SAME TIME WE'LL GET YOU A HARD COPY. OH, WE'RE JUST GOING TO GIVE US A AND LET TAB THAT'S ALL I ALREADY KNEW YOU DID. I ALREADY KNEW THAT'S ALL OVER SOME PAGES. I'M LIKE SHE'S LIKE BEACON READING.

THAT'S HER IF YOU I CAN SEND THE DIGITAL FORMAT WHERE IT'S BROKEN DOWN AND I DON'T WANT TO TAKE TASKS THAT WAY YOU CAN TACKLE SMALLER SECTIONS RATHER THAN THAT.

OH THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC. YEAH YEAH WE DO HAVE THAT WELL BUT THAT WAS IT.

THERE'S NO ACTION NEEDED. THIS WAS JUST A REPORT FOR INFORMATION AND AS YOU MENTIONED THIS COMES INTO OUR FUTURE PLANNING AND WE'LL STAFF THEN START WORKING ON THE LIST OF PROJECTS BEING THE TACKLE AND THEN GO FROM THERE FOR NEXT WHETHER IT'S TAX REVENUE OR IF IT'S ALREADY IN OUR BUDGET FOR NEXT WHEN WE START WORKING ON THAT AND DEFINITELY IT'S GOING TO BECOME PART OF NEAL'S CAPITAL MARK WROTE NOW CAPITAL PLAN FOR THAT I KNOW NEIL

[11. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF CONTRACT AWARD TO O’QUINN MARINE CONSTRUCTION FOR IFB #110123 SPANISH MOSS TRAIL BATTERY CREEK BRIDGE REPAIR PHASE 2 (FISCAL IMPACT: $605,000.

ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO NUMBER ONE, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS WE HAVE TO RUN THROUGH HERE RECOMMEND APPROVAL, A CONTRACT AWARD O'QUINN MARINE CONSTRUCTION FOR IFB 110123 SPANISH MOSS TRAIL BATTERY CREEK BRIDGE REPAIR PHASE TWO DO WE HAVE A MOTION SO MOVED SECOND THANK YOU ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS RIGHT THIS WILL BE DONE WITH NO OBJECTION THIS ONE QUICK ONE. YES SIR. THE COST FOR THESE TWO BIDDERS WAS LIKE HALF AND HALF DEFINITELY ONE IS LOCAL AND HE USED INTERNET BLUE TIDE AND AGAIN O'QUINN IS LOCAL IN-HOUSE STAFFING GUESS YES SIR HE'S SELF PERFORMING AS YOU NOTICED ON THE BID TAB IT'S YOU SELF PERFORMING IS LOCAL WE VETTED BOTH OF THEM AND BLUE TIES REPUTABLE COMPANY SO IT WAS A WIN WE HAVE A LOT OF FAMILIARITY WITH SEVERAL PROJECTS. HIS PRICE WAS MUCH MORE COMPETITIVE AND IT WAS MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE OKAY IS OUR THINKING AS WE KNOW WITH NO

[12. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF CONTRACT AWARD TO PARAGON BUILDERS FOR IFB #090823 BUCKWALTER RECREATION CENTER GENERATOR (FISCAL IMPACT: $409,420.00 Funding comes from Parks and Recreation Capital Fund account number 1040-80-1600-54200) - Eric Larson, Capital Projects Director]

[01:35:04]

OKAY NOBODY ELSE IS WALKING UP TO THE PODIUM. I DON'T KNOW.

IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO. I THERE ARE THERE ARE GRANT PROGRAMS THROUGH FEMA THAT YOU HAVE TO APPLY FOR AND GET AWARDED BEFOREHAND.

OKAY. NONE OF THEM ARE REIMBURSABLE. SO IF WE START IF WE GO FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT WE WOULDN'T BE ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE WE HAD PUT IN A GRANT FOR THIS IN THE PAST AND RECEIVED THE GRANT AND RETURNED IT DUE TO TIMELINESS IN OUR IN GETTING THE WORK COMPLETED. SO THIS IS COMING OUT OF THIS PARTICULAR FUNDING SOURCE WE'RE USING HIS PARKS AND REC CAP CAPEX MONEY AND IT IS WITH IT I MEAN IT'S WITHIN OUR BUDGET WE HAVE 75 STILL IN THE ACCOUNT ARE WE ON ANY TIME CONSTRAINTS TO PURCHASE THIS OR MOVE THIS FORWARD? IS THIS HOW WE GO TO KIND OF COUNCIL FIRST? YEAH. OKAY. YEAH.

SO I MEAN I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY GRANTS BETWEEN NOW AND OUR DECEMBER 11TH MEETING TO SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE CAN LOOK INTO. I MEAN I'D LIKE TO SAVE OUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS HERE AND USE THAT OTHER IMPROVEMENTS IF WE CAN BETWEEN NOW THIS COUPLE WEEKS. IF NOT, I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING WE NEED TO GET DONE FOR MANAGEMENT SERVICES OF NEXT YEAR. THERE'S NO DOUBT.

ANY OBJECTION? NO. AND THIS BE MOVED FORWARD TO

[13. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE INTERIM COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO ENTER INTO A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 39 AIRPORT CIRCLE WITH CINDY HOLLMAN (FISCAL IMPACT: Beaufort Executive Airport will receive monthly income generated through lease revenue – Tenant shall pay $69.30 (42 sq ft x $19.80/12) in monthly base lease payments for premises located at the Beaufort Executive Airport terminal. Annual Expected Revenue increase: $831.60. These lease rates are in accordance with current Beaufort County lease policies) – Jon Rembold, Airports Director]

[14. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE INTERIM COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO ENTER INTO A LEASE AGREEMENT FOR REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 39 AIRPORT CIRCLE WITH MATT ARCHER (FISCAL IMPACT: Beaufort Executive Airport will receive monthly income generated through lease revenue – Tenant shall pay $69.30 (42 sq ft x $19.80/12) in monthly base lease payments for premises located at the Beaufort Executive Airport terminal. Annual Expected Revenue increase: $831.60. These lease rates are in accordance with current Beaufort County lease policies) – Jon Rembold, Airports Director]

SO LEASING OF PROPERTY IS A LEGISLATIVE ACT AND UNDER THE ORDINANCES THERE'S A I'M NOT ORDINANCES STATE STATUTE OR DASH NINE DASH 20 OR DASH NINE DASH 30 SUBPART TWO AND 40 9-1 30 YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN ORDINANCE AND SO WHEN YOU DO A LEASE YOU ARE ACTUALLY CONVEY EWING INTEREST IN PROPERTY IN LAW SCHOOL YOU LEARN THAT YOU KNOW LEASES YOU HAVE THE THE RIGHT USE AND QUIET ENJOYMENT THAT IS OTHER PEOPLE CANNOT WITH YOUR USE AND QUIET ENJOYMENT OF THAT PROPERTY AND SO IT'S INTEREST IN PROPERTY JUST LIKE SELLING PROPERTY IS CONVEYING INTEREST JUST LIKE GIVING AN EASEMENT TO A UTILITY OR TO A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR TO YOUR NEIGHBOR IS A CONVEYANCE OF INTEREST IN PROPERTY AND CONVEYANCES OF INTEREST IN PROPERTY HAVE TO BE DONE BY ORDINANCES THE AND WITH A PUBLIC HEARING AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE BECAUSE THE COUNTY OWNS PROPERTY THAT IT USE TAXPAYER MONEY ON AND IF THE COUNTY IS GOING TO ENTER INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH SOME THIRD PARTY TO LET THEM USE THAT REAL ESTATE OR THAT OR THAT BUILDING THE PUBLIC OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT IT, NUMBER ONE, AND THE PUBLIC OUGHT TO KNOW WHAT THE TERMS ARE. NUMBER TWO THAT AVOIDS BACKROOM DEALS, THAT AVOIDS SWEETHEART DEALS, THAT AVOIDS NO DEALS LIKE PEOPLE GETTING TO USE YOUR OFFICES PAYING FOR IT OR PEOPLE GETTING TO USE BOAT LANDINGS FOR $99 A YEAR WHEN OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T.

[01:40:05]

SO IT COMES BEFORE THE PUBLIC MANY, MANY. AND SO NOBODY CAN CLAIM THOUGH I WASN'T ON NOTICE I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AND SOMEBODY'S GOT A BACKROOM DEAL OR SOMEBODY'S GOT A SWEETHEART DEAL. IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.

FURTHERMORE AND FINALLY GOING BACK LEAST AS FAR AS 1989, THE COUNTY HAS DONE ITS LEASES BY WAY OF ORDINANCE. IN FACT, AFTER TALKING TO COUNCILMAN MCCALLUM THIS MORNING I LOOKED AT OUR OWN HISTORY OF ORDINANCES AND THE EARLIEST ONE I FOUND AND THERE MAY BE EARLIER ONES BUT THE EARLIEST ONE I FOUND IS A 1989 ORDINANCE THAT THE COUNTY ENTERED INTO A LEASE REGARDING THE COUNTY COURTHOUSE OVER HERE AND DETENTION CENTER.

THE COUNTY OWNED THE PROPERTY AND THEY DEVELOPED A CORPORATION THAT WAS GOING TO DEVELOP THE DETENTION CENTER. THEY LEASED THE PROPERTY TO THIS CORPORATION WHILE.

IT BUILT THE DETENTION CENTER AND ALL OF THAT KIND OF STUFF. SO THERE'S PLENTY OF PRECEDENTS FOR IT. STATE STATUTES REQUIRE IT. OUR INTERPRETATION OF THE STATUTES IS THAT THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT AND OUR INTERPRETATION IS CONSISTENT WITH AG OPINIONS THAT AGREE WITH OUR INTERPRETATION. SO SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING IT THIS WAY. MR. MCGOWAN ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON THAT THAT HAVE EXHAUSTED THOUGH LISTENING TO THAT? I MEAN I'D LIKE TO GET A LITTLE LONGER IF YOU'D LIKE THAT WAS GREAT. THAT WAS GREAT TIME EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED YOU TO DO.

THANKS VERY MUCH. THANKS, TOM. IT MAKES SENSE ON THE QUESTION.

NO, IT REALLY DOES BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME OF THESE QUESTIONS COME FORWARD.

BUT THE ANSWER ALSO MAKES SENSE FOR THE TWO. SO I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS DIVING INTO THAT. DO WE HAVE OTHER DISCUSSION ON NUMBER 13 OR 14 AS WE TAKE THEM TOGETHER SO THIS WILL MOVE FORWARD? NO OBJECTION AND WILL MOVE

[15. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE NATIONAL AIRPORTS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (ACIP) THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL UPDATE TO BRIEF COUNCIL ON THE BEAUFORT EXECUTIVE AIRPORT LIST - Jon Rembold, Airports Director]

[16. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE NATIONAL AIRPORTS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (ACIP) THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL UPDATE TO BRIEF COUNCIL ON THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT LIST - Jon Rembold, Airports Director]

NUMBER 16 RECOMMEND APPROVING THE NATIONAL AIRPORTS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN.

THIS IS AN INFORMAL UPDATE TO BRIEF COUNCIL ON THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT.

CAN I HAVE A MOTION FOR A DISCUSSION SO MOVE OUR TO TAKE TOGETHER I APOLOGIZE TO TAKE TOGETHER SO MOVED A SECOND THANK YOU IT IS ALL USED ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME AGAIN TO BRIEF YOU ON THIS YOU REMEMBER WE COME BEFORE YOU EACH YEAR JUST TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON ON THE CFP PLANS AND IN A NUTSHELL WHAT THIS IS IS IT'S IT'S A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN AIRPORTS WHO ARE IN THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AND THE FAA. WE COLLABORATE ON PROJECT PLANNING AND IT SERVES TWO PURPOSES. NUMBER ONE, IT MAKES THE AIRPORT SIT DOWN AND REALLY CAREFULLY CONSIDER WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT FIVE OR MORE YEARS AND THEN ALSO AFFORDS THE FAA A CHANCE TO HEAR FROM THOSE AIRPORTS THAT THEY KNOW WHAT THE FUNDING NEEDS ARE AND WE WE WORK TOGETHER TO REALLY KIND OF STRING THOSE OUT BECAUSE THE FAA TYPICALLY RECEIVES ABOUT $3.35 BILLION OF FUNDING ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL AIRPORTS ACROSS THE U.S. THAT QUALIFY FOR FUNDING. SO IF YOU CAN IMAGINE TRYING TO SPREAD THAT OUT BETWEEN HOUSTON'S AND ATLANTA'S AND AND THINGS LIKE THAT WHO ARE DOING THE SINGULAR PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE BILLION DOLLAR RANGE? IT'S VERY DIFFICULT DO THAT.

SO THIS IS A PLANNING EXERCISE BETWEEN US AND THE FAA TO HELP REALLY KIND OF HYPER LOCALIZE OUR NEEDS AND LET THE FAA KNOW HOW THEY SHOULD PLAN ACCORDINGLY.

SO THE THE SPREADSHEET YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS A LITTLE BIT COMPLICATED BUT IS WHAT THE FAA PRESCRIBES FOR USE WHEN WE DO THE THE PROJECT PLANNING AND THE BUDGET PLANNING THE COLUMN THAT'S HIGHLIGHTED THERE IS HARD TO SEE BUT IT'S CALLED BY AL SLASH AIR AND THAT'S JUST A FANCY WAY OF SAYING THIS IS SPECIAL MONEY THAT RESULTED FROM THE 2021 BYPASS AN INFRASTRUCTURE LAW THAT WAS SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT IN NOVEMBER OF 21 AND THAT PROVIDED SOME ADDITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE MONEY FOR THE AIRPORT SYSTEM.

THOSE DOLLARS ARE ALLOCATED BASED ON THE NUMBER OF FOLKS WHO USE YOUR AIRPORT SO WE GET LESS THAN A CHARLOTTE GETS AND SO ON AND SO FORTH THAT'S A FIVE YEAR PROGRAM.

SO YOU SEE AFTER F1 24, 25 AND 26 THAT ZEROS OUT AND THAT'S BECAUSE THAT PROGRAM SUNSETS AT THAT POINT. SO WHAT YOU SEE HERE REALLY IS IN THE TWO AIRPORTS SOME

[01:45:03]

AND AT HILTON HEAD WE WENT OUT TO 2029 WITH OUR BEST GUESS THIS WILL THIS PLAN THAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU HAS ALREADY CHANGED TWICE SINCE WE FIRST PROPOSED THE FAA A MONTH AGO AND IT WILL CHANGE A FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE IT'S MORE UNQUOTE FORMALIZED WHICH IS USUALLY IN THE FEBRUARY TO MARCH TIMEFRAME. WE ARE IN THE FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 24 SO THAT'S WHY THESE WILL START IN 24. SO YOU CAN SEE WE'LL BE DOING THIS YEAR AT AIRPORTS THIS FORMAT SPELLS OUT EVERYTHING FROM THE THE EXCERPTS FROM THE AP MANUAL THAT SAY WHY YOUR PROJECT IS ELIGIBLE ALL THE WAY DOWN THROUGH DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES. I WOULD DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO TWO COLUMNS OVER FROM THE HIGHLIGHTED ONES TO SPONSOR PARTICIPATE AND WHEN YOU SEE SPONSOR JUST THINK AIRPORT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT COMES OUT OF OUR BUDGET AS OUR SHARE OF THESE PROJECTS SO THAT'S WHAT WE WORK ON WHEN WE BUDGET FOR PROJECTS WE ALSO WORK ON SINCE ALL OF OUR GRANTS ARE REIMBURSABLE WE ALSO BUDGET FOR THAT INITIAL SPEND SO THAT WE CAN THEN DRAWBACK THAT MONEY FROM THE FAA. SO HOPEFULLY THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU I'M TRYING TO THINK WHAT ELSE TO HIGHLIGHT ON THIS I GUESS IN LIGHT OF ALL THE ROAD PROJECTS YOU HEARD ABOUT I SHOULD TELL YOU THAT IF YOU BUILD A MILE OF ROAD YOU'RE GOING TO GO FOR A MILE BUT IF YOU BUILD A MILE OF RUNWAY YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. SO THAT SHOULD GIVE YOU ENOUGH TO GIVE A FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION ON THIS LIST. SO WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR IS REALLY NOT NECESSARILY A RECOMMENDATION JUST TO BRING THIS FOR YOU SO YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING AND GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT COUNSEL HOW ERISA I WOULD SAY I KNEW SOME OF THAT SO THANK YOU. I'VE EVEN SET THAT UP.

THAT STANDS FOR EXTENDED RUNWAY SAFETY AREA. SO IT'S BASICALLY YOU'RE OVERRUN AT THE ENDS OF THE RUNWAY AND THAT'S THAT ANSWERS MY NEXT QUESTION WHY YOU NEED THE WETLANDS MITIGATION AS WELL THAT EXTEND ACROSS HIGHWAY 21 OR NO? NO IT WILL NOT. IT'S ONLY ABOUT I REMEMBER CORRECTLY ABOUT 170 FEET SO IT'S NOT THAT FAR OFF THE END THE RUNWAY. WE JUST DON'T HAVE ADEQUATE RUNOFF TO MEET THE CURRENT FAA STANDARD. AND THEN ANOTHER QUESTION ON THE HILTON HEAD AIRPORT LAND ACQUISITION REIMBURSEMENT IS 2027.

THAT'S ACTUALLY FOR LAND THAT WE'VE ALREADY PURCHASED AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THIS IS LAND ALONG HUNTER ROAD THAT WE PURCHASED IN ANTICIPATION OF THE TERMINAL PROJECT THAT WE'RE KICKING OFF NOW AND WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE LAND ACQUISITION PROJECT IS THE SPONSOR OF THE AIRPORT HAS TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT SO WE HAVE TO ACQUIRE THE LAND AND PAY ALL OF THE EXPENSES THAT COME WITH THAT AND THEN PACKAGE THAT UP NICELY AND SUBMITTED TO THE FAA FOR REIMBURSEMENT. BUT IT TAKES TIME. IT'S ALSO AS YOU SEE IN THE VERY FIRST COLUMN AFTER THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION HAS A NATIONAL PRIORITY RANKING THE FAA GOES THROUGH OUR LIST AND RANKS ALL OF OUR PROJECTS PROPERTY ACQUISITION REIMBURSEMENT IS A LOW RANKING PROJECT BECAUSE INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS ON THE AIRFIELD WILL ALWAYS LEAVE OF THOSE. SO OUR BEST GUESS AND IN COORDINATION WITH THE FAA IS 2027 FOR THAT REIMBURSEMENT THANK YOU. I JUST HAVE ONE QUESTION.

I KNOW WE NEED TO ANSWER TODAY WHICH IS FOR THE FUTURE. YES, I THINK IT'S THE SAME TYPE OF LOGIC WHAT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT A MILE OF ROAD OR A MILE OF RUNWAY.

SAME THING WITH JARED WHEN WE TALK ABOUT IMPROVEMENT DO WE HAVE I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT A LOT OF DOLLARS AND OBVIOUSLY THAT ALWAYS GETS PEOPLE WITH STICKER SHOCK AND ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT DO WE HAVE ANY ESTIMATE OF THE INCREASED REVENUE THAT IT WILL BRING TO COUNTY WITH THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THESE AIRPORTS? WELL, I CAN YOU THAT THE LATEST ECONOMIC IMPACT STUDY THAT WAS COMPLETED FOR HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT WAS IN 2020. SO WHAT'S GOING ON? FOUR YEARS OLD BUT IT WAS JUST BEFORE THE PANDEMIC HIT AND THAT SHOWED AN INCREASE IN FACT ONLY TWO YEAR INCREASE IN ECONOMIC IMPACT FROM $166 MILLION ANNUALLY TO $417 MILLION ANNUALLY.

AND I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THAT CONTINUES TO INCREASE AS WE MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS AND CONTINUE TO BUILD THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYMENT FOLKS WHO USE THE AIRPORT SO WHILE I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER RIGHT NOW TODAY I WOULD SAY IT'S FAIR TO ASSUME THAT THE MORE WE MODERNIZE THESE AIRPORTS, KEEP UP WITH THE NEEDS OF THE TRAVELERS, THE HIGHER THAT IMPACT WILL BE AND I DO THINK IT IS IT'S NOT NECESSARILY ALWAYS ABOUT MAKING IT BIGGER BECAUSE IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT BRINGING MORE PEOPLE BUT CREATING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MORE BUSINESSES TO TAP INTO IT LIKE YOU JUST DID ON HILTON HEAD WITH THE TRANSPORTATION OR UPDATING THE TERMINALS. AND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT DRIVE PEOPLE FROM HERE TO OTHER PLACES OR VICE VERSA WHEN YOU DO HAVE A NICER ENTRANCE TO COME IN TO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS

[01:50:07]

I MEANT TO BRIEF THAT TO YOU. WHILE THIS IS A PLAN I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO APPROVE ANY EXPENDITURES AT THIS POINT WHEN DO START TO BRING THESE PROJECTS FORWARD? WHEN WE HAVE WORK AUTHORIZATIONS OR OR CONTRACT AWARDS WE NEED TO BRING FORWARD MOST EVERY ONE OF THESE WILL BE IN THE PRICE RANGE THAT WE WILL BRING THOSE BEFORE YOU FOR APPROVAL. SO YOU WILL SEE THIS AGAIN IN A PIECEMEAL FASHION AS WE EXECUTE PROJECTS PROJECT THAT PROJECT. YES. YEAH.

[17. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR COMMISSIONED PUBLIC WORKS CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS - Neil Desai, Director of Public Works]

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. MOVING ON TO NUMBER 17 RECOMMENDED APPROVAL RESOLUTION FOR A COMMISSION PUBLIC CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS HAVE A MOTION SO SECOND AND A SECOND SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION OF DON'T NORMALLY SEE THE OFFICERS DO NOT COME SEE THEM. THE DATA WELL THIS WILL HAVE TO GO TO I BELIEVE COUNTY COUNCIL RIGHT ON OUR CONSENT AGENDA. OKAY, THAT'S IT.

YEAH. PERFECT. THIS WILL BE MOVED FORWARD WITH

[18. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CONVEYANCE OF AN EASEMENT ENCUMBERING A PORTION OF REAL PROPERTY LOCATED AT 55 GARDNER DRIVE TO THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND - Neil J. Desai, Public Works Director]

[19. RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH BEAUFORT-JASPER WATER SEWER AUTHORITY AND THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON TO JOINTLY FUND THE INSTALLATION OF SEWER FACILITIES IN THE STONEY CREEK AREA FOR THE PURPOSE OF PREVENTING FURTHER CONTAMINATION OF THE MAY RIVER HEADWATERS (FISCAL IMPACT: $1,250,000.00)]

ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE ANY DISCUSSION THIS WELL WELL OVERDUE AND SOMETHING WE CAN DO IS WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME THING AS I GOT A LOT OF WAYS I MEAN THEY GO HAND IN HAND SO THIS WILL BE DONE WITH NO OBJECTION IT WILL BE DONE WITH NO OBJECTION.

[20. RECOMMEND APPROVAL TO AUTHORIZE THE INTERIM ADMINISTRATOR TO NEGOTIATE AND ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH LOWCOUNTRY FERRY, LLC FOR THE PROVISION OF FERRY SERVICES TO AND FROM DAUFUSKIE ISLAND (FISCAL IMPACT: $250,000 in this budget year from General Fund Fund Balance. $365,000 annually beginning in the new budget year)]

I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH. SORRY ABOUT THAT. NO, YOU'RE GOOD.

I APPRECIATE YOU. GIVE ME A HEADS UP. OKAY.

AS KNOW, WE'VE HAD A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS OVER THE LAST YEAR OVER THE FERRY YEARS BUT SPECIFICALLY IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS WITH HAVING TO REDO OUR CONTRACT WITH HAIG POINT TO GET THROUGH JANUARY 15 AND THEN ISSUE A NEW RFP THAT WE PUT OUT ON I BELIEVE WAS SEPTEMBER 20TH AND ALL THE BIDS WERE DUE ON OCTOBER 20TH. IT WAS A GAMBLE TO SEE IF WE GOT MORE THAN ONE BID. WE GOT WE DID GET THREE PROPOSALS NOT BIDS THREE PROPOSALS. WE RANKED THOSE PROPOSALS AS YOU CAN SEE THE SCORES THAT ATTACHED THAT VERY PRICES AND THE COMMITTEE HAS CHOSEN TO SEEK YOUR APPROVAL TO NEGOTIATE A FINAL CONTRACT WITH LOWCOUNTRY FERRY LLC. THE $365,000 PER YEAR WOULD BE A MAXIMUM. WE FEEL LIKE THERE ARE SOME WE'VE HAD PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS IF APPROVED WE CAN NEGOTIATE THAT DOWN WITH DIFFERENT REVENUE SHARING OPTIONS, PARKING ADMINISTRATION OPTIONS ETC. WE WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO GET THROUGH THAT FIRST HALF OF THIS COMING YEAR BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW WE USED UP OUR FUNDING FOR 2023 2024 TO GET TO JANUARY 15 AND THE REASON THAT NUMBER IS $250,000 AS OPPOSED TO SPECIFICALLY HALF OF 356 IS BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE CARRYING COSTS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE IN ORDER TO OPERATE WITHOUT PERMANENT PARKING. AS YOU KNOW, WE STILL ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS AT HELMSMAN WAY AND ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE AT MELROSE LANDING. SO THAT'S THE PAY LEASE AT MELROSE AND SOME COMBINATION

[01:55:05]

I HOPE. YES, SIR. I KNOW THIS ONE IS IT HAS TO DO THE CONTRACT AGAINST SOME AND I THINK WE ALL GOT EMAILS FROM THE FIRST KEY RESIDENTS ASKING FOR AN ADDITIONAL LATE AFTERNOON LATE EVENING RUN IS THAT POSSIBLE AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL RUN AND THEY BASICALLY I'M NOT TOO SURE THEY'RE LOOKING AT LATE AFTERNOON THEY MENTIONED LATE EVENING OR LATE AFTERNOON RUN RIGHT THAT THAT CAN BE PART OF THIS NEGOTIATION. THAT'S WHY I WILL CONTACT THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAVE REACHED OUT BUT WANTED TO GET APPROVAL TO NEGOTIATE THIS CONTRACT BECAUSE THAT CAN BE A PART OF IT.

THIS ENTITY THAT IS PROPOSING IS INTERESTED IN ADDING MORE RUNS AS THEY BECOME FEASIBLE AS THE GOAL IS TO CREATE A GREATER FERRY NETWORK LONG TERM THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST LEG AND MORE RUNS EQUAL MORE PEOPLE MORE FUNDING FOR THEM SO THEY WOULD THEY DO WANT TO LOOK AT THAT BUT IT WOULDN'T BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAPPEN ON DAY ONE MORE THAN LIKELY IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE GOT TO BUILD TO WITH THE CONTRACTS STARTING IN THE OFF SEASON IN THE WINTER AND WITH ALL THE VARIABLES AS WE CURRENTLY KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE AS WE PUT IN A REPORT LAST WEEK IT'S GOING TO BE INCONVENIENT IN THE BEGINNING BECAUSE OF THIS COURT ORDER FORCING US TO GO TO A NEW PLACE. THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE FACILITY THAT'S GOING TO HAVE ALL THE PARKING THERE'S GOING TO BE PARKING RIGHT THERE WILL BE SOME INCONVENIENCE. I SPOKE TO SOME INDIVIDUALS AT THE DALLAS COUNCIL THAT I WILL AS WE GET THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS UPDATE THEM ON WHAT THOSE ARRANGEMENTS WILL BE SO THAT THEY KNOW WHERE TO GO, WHERE TO, WHETHER IT'S A DIFFERENT WEBSITE OR A DIFFERENT PARKING AREA AND HOW THE TRANSPORTATION WILL WORK WELL AHEAD OF THAT JANUARY 15TH DATE. I THINK ONCE WE GET THIS THING LOCKED IN PLACE I THINK THE COMMUNITY WILL ADJUST ONCE THEY THE SCHEDULE ETC. ETC. WE WE'VE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH THIS FOR THE LAST FOUR OR FIVE YEARS SO HOPEFULLY WE GOT TO A POINT NOW THAT WE CAN SAY HEY THIS IS GOING FORWARD, I'M VERY MUCH WITH YOU. I WOULD JUST SAY OUR FOCUS IS GETTING SOMETHING IN PLACE AND THEN AS WE DON'T WANT OVERLOAD ANYBODY NOW WE PUT OUT THE BID TO OPEN AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON RIGHT NOW AND GET THAT SECURED AHEAD OF TIME THEN WE CAN DISCUSS OTHER OPTIONS IN THE FUTURE. I MEAN WE'VE ALL GOTTEN THE EMAILS THAT'S SOMETHING THAT ALL OF US HAVE READ ABOUT AND SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO LOOK AT IN THE FUTURE FOR SURE. BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST GETTING SOMETHING IN PLACE.

SO WE CONTINUE SERVICE TO THOSE RESIDENTS ON THE ISLAND BECAUSE THAT IS ULTIMATELY THE BIGGEST THING WE NEED TO FOCUS ON RIGHT NOW IS THOSE RESIDENTS THERE. YES.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR DISCUSSION? ONE QUESTION DO WE HAVE A LOCATION FOR THE FUNDING FOR THE EXTRA REVENUE THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MOVE OVER TO COVER AS WE PUT FOR THIS ONE WOULD BE GENERAL FUND FUND BALANCE TO GET US THROUGH AND THEN THROUGH THE YEAR AND THEN ARE WE PART OF THE BUDGETING PROCESS GOING INTO THE 2425 BUDGET? OKAY. YES, PERFECT.

THIS WILL BE DONE WITH NO OBJECTION AND I SEE NO OBJECTION.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IF YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE DONE 5:00 THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED
