THAT APPEARANCE BY CITIZENS IS UP NEXT I'D LIKE TO REMIND OUR CITIZENS THAT SECTION 2-57 OF THE TOWN'S CODE LIMITS EACH PERSON TO 3 MINUTES WHEN ADDRESSING TOWN COUNCIL.

AT THE END OF THE 3 MINUTES YOU'RE ASKED TO CONCLUDE YOUR COMMENTS.

PLEASE MAINTAIN DECORUM SUITABLE FOR THE MEETING AND REFRAIN FROM USING ANY PROFANE, ABUSIVE OR OBSCENE. IF YOU HAVE ANY MATERIALS YOU'D LIKE TO GIVE TO THE TOWN COUNCIL PLEASE GIVE THEM TO THE TOWN CLERK AFTER YOU'RE FINISHED SPEAKING THIS GAME AND YOU HAVE ANYBODY UP TODAY WE DO SKIP HOAGLAND BUT MR. HOAGLAND HOAGLAND SKIP HOAGLAND WHEN THEY'LL HARBOR A SMALL MOTIVATED GROUP ON HILTON WILL POOL MONEY AND FILE A VERY STRATEGIC LAWSUIT CALLED THE HILTON AN ILLEGAL TAX ISSUE AND USE LAWSUIT AND SEEK OUT LEGAL FEES AFTER WINNING EVEN SEEK DAMAGES TO TAXPAYERS. ALSO I BELIEVE THIS WILL RESULT IN CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR TAX THEFT FRAUD. MAYOR PERRY AND OTHERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN CAUGHT LYING COMMITTING FRAUD ABOUT HAVEN'T SEEN THE CHAMBER'S FINANCIALS AND THE ILLEGAL USE TENS OF MILLIONS ALSO LAWYERS COLTRANE, GRUBER, ALFORD AND IN BLUFFTON ALSO CAUGHT DRAFTING A FRAUDULENT FIVE YEAR MULTIMILLION DOLLAR DEMO CHAMBER CONTRACT AND OVERCHARGING LEGAL FEES AS REPORTED BY THE ISLAND PACKET.

IF YOU CAN PREVAIL LOCALLY WE CAN WIN EVERY CITY IN THE STATE AND 1700 OTHER CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES WHO ARE COMMITTING THE SAME EXACT CRIMES AND FRAUD AS IS HILTON HEAD COUNCIL AND OUR CHAMBER CVB DMO. WE WILL INCLUDE ALL THE LEGAL TAX FUNDING WE HAVE IDENTIFIED IN NOT JUST THE CHAMBER BUT WORKFORCE HOUSING 600,000 DREDGING OF HARBOR TOWN. YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN SUED FOR THAT SPONSORSHIP OF THE HERITAGE AND MANY OTHER NONPROFITS AS WELL AS STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS BEING VIOLATED BY EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU. I WILL ASK THE COURT FOR LEGAL RULINGS IF THE JUDGES LOCALLY COMMIT MALFEASANCE AND RULE AGAINST THE RULE OF LAW WITH THEIR FRIENDS LIKE JUDGE JUDGE DUKES AND MULLENS. WE WILL SIMPLY APPEAL TO HIGHER COURTS AND THE SUPREME IF NEEDED. WE HAVE DISCOVERED THE LARGEST NONPROFIT TAX AND FRAUD AND TAX EVASION IN 300 YEAR HISTORY OF THE U.S. COMMITTED BY 1700 CHAMBERS AND TOWN COUNCILS JUST LIKE YOU FOLKS. NICK FLEMING, THE PRESIDENT OF THE ICC AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EXECUTIVES WAS CONTACTED BY BILL MYLES AND IT SEEMS MR. FLEMINGS SENT THE

[00:20:07]

3000 CHAMBERS ABOUT ME. ISN'T THAT ODD? 3000 CHAMBERS ABOUT ME? WHY ME? A CHAMBER IN THE SOUTHEAST IS REPORTED THAT A PUBLISHER IN THEIR MARKET IS COMPLAINING THE IRS ABOUT THE CHAMBER'S SIGNIFICANT VISITOR PUBLICATION ACTIVITIES. ESSENTIALLY THESE INDIVIDUALS BLOWING THE WHISTLE NOT ONLY ON THE CHAMBER BUT ON DOZENS OF CHAMBERS KBS NATIONWIDE. THIS INCIDENT SHOULD SERVE AS A REMINDER TO ALL CHAMBERS TO BE SURE REPORTING OF YOUR UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME CALLED YOUBUT IS ACCURATE AND COMPLETE. MORE THAN ONE FORM MAY BE REQUIRED WITH TIMELY PAYMENT OF YOUR APPROPRIATE FEDERAL AND STATE TAXES.

THE PENALTIES AND PR IMPACT FOR IMPROPER REPORTING ARE SUBSTANTIAL FOR ALL AND NONPROFITS. TALK TO YOUR AUDITOR YOUR ACCOUNTANT.

BUT DON'T ASSUME THEY UNDERSTAND ALL THE ASPECTS OR YOUR COUNSEL TO UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS AS IT RELATES TO THE UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME UNIT .

DISCUSS YOUR VARIOUS KINDS OF NON INCOME DO'S AND ASK ABOUT HOW THEY MAY BE TREATED BY THE IRS AND TAX OFFICERS. FOLKS HAVE GOT TO WAKE UP. YOU GOT TO START ABIDING BY THE LAW. YOU CAN'T JUST PICK AND CHOOSE ONE YOU WANT TO ABIDE BY.

THANK YOU, MR. KIM. MOTHER, STAND UP. YOLANDA COHEN.

YOLANDA COHEN. MCKINNEY AND THANK YOU ALL FOR SERVING IN THE IN THE PUBLIC OFFICES THAT YOU DO. WE APPRECIATE IT. AND I JUST FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BE HERE. I HAD OTHER PLANS BUT I JUST DECIDED TO STAY HERE AND ATTEND THIS MEETING BUT ONCE AGAIN I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS THE GRAVE CONCERN REGARDING THE COMMUNITY AND THE LOSS OF LAND, THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF CULTURE. WELL, WE HAVE LOST CULTURE DUE TO THE LOSS OF LAND IN GENERAL GENTRIFIED OVER THE YEARS AND WE NEED THE TOWN TO REALLY STEP UP AND DO MORE TO HELP AND TO PREVENT THE LOSS OF OUR CULTURE RIGHT NOW 5.77% OF THE POPULATION HERE ON THE AND SO WE HAVE BEEN CRYING OUT AND SPEAKING OUT ADVOCATING AGAINST THE EXPANSION HIGHWAY TO 78 AND IT JUST SEEMS AS IF OUR VOICES ARE NOT BEING HEARD AND WHICH IS DISHEARTENING BECAUSE THIS IS OUR HOME IT IS OUR OUR ROOTS AND AND JUST THE IDEA THAT THINGS ARE MOVING FORWARD AND THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING HEARD.

I BROUGHT UP DURING THE LAST MEETING THAT THE CITIZENS THE NATIVE ISLANDERS OF SONY WERE NOT GIVEN AN OPTION TO SAY NO TO THE EXPANSION AND I'M NOT SURE IF THAT HAS ADDRESSED I HAVE NOT HEARD ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD BUT IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

WE WE APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THE CDC IS DOING AND MR. BAXLEY HOWEVER WE WANT THAN MEDICATIONS WE WANT THE OPTION TO SAY NO SO OUT TO THE ENCROACHMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY AND IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS YOU KNOW IT SEEMS LIKE I'M SAYING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD, CONTINUE TO SPEAK UP UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS. SO THE EXPANSION OF TO 78 WILL DESTROY THE GALAXY TO COMMUNITY AND THE EXPANSION OF HILTON HEAD AIRPORT WILL DESTROY PORTIONS OF THE GALAXY COMMUNITY. SO WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH? WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE OUR CULTURE. WE HAVE LOST ENOUGH.

SO WE WERE HOPING AND WE'RE INVITING TOWN OF HILTON HEAD TO STAND BESIDE US AND FIGHT FOR OUR CULTURE DON'T FIGHT AGAINST IT SHOULD BE A COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIP AND NOT A FIGHT TOO MANY OF US HAVE BEEN FIGHTING OVER THE YEARS SO PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF GIVING IN.

THEY'RE GIVING UP AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE JUST STRESSED OUT AND MANY HAVE DIED FIGHTING.

SO WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP AND CONTINUING TO KEEP OUR CULTURE ALIVE.

THANK YOU, MR. MCKINNEY. YES. IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE SIGNED UP NOW? DAN LEE RIGHT. OKAY.

THANK YOU ALL. I JUST WANT TO START TALKING COMBUSTIBLES.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT, LET'S GIVE CASEY OUR JOHN CASEY.

I'M GOOD AFTERNOON MAYOR COUNSEL JOHN CASEY RUN. I HAVE A FEW COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT OF THE IMO YOU BETWEEN AC DC AND THE TOWN AND I THINK THEY POINT OUT TO A CERTAIN EXTENT THAT THIS CONTINUES TO BE A HASTY PROCESS THAT IS SOMEWHAT ILL DRAFTED WITH A LOT OF PITFALLS. ONE CONTINUES TO BE THE PREFERENTIAL RENTAL PROVISION WHICH ALLOWS A 1 TO 1 PREVENT PREFERENTIAL RENTAL VERSUS A PUBLIC ACCESS RENTAL.

IT'S BEEN POINTED OUT SEVERAL TIMES THAT THIS AT LEAST COULD BE A REAL WITH THE 501C3 STATUS OF THE CCD CITY AND YET TO DATE I'VE SEEN EFFORT EITHER BY THE CDC OR FROM THE TOWN AND.

I CAN BE CORRECTED IF I WAS STILL UNCORRECTED IF I'M WRONG TO ACTUALLY CONDUCT A LEGAL ANALYSIS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THIS IS A PROBLEM OR NOT AND TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW AND I DON'T THINK THIS SHOULD PROCEED WITHOUT KNOWING THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, ALL IT'S GOING TO TAKE IS A CHALLENGE FROM ONE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION AND IT'S WELL KNOWN BECAUSE YOU'VE HEARD THEM HERE THAT MANY OF THESE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS ARE VERY MUCH AGAINST THIS ENDEAVOR TO MAKE THE WHOLE HOUSE OF CARDS FAIL AND TO PROCEED WITHOUT KNOWING THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION JUST SEEMS FOLLY TO ME.

THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISION NECESSARY BUT RELATIVELY WORTHLESS IF THERE'S A LARGE LIABILITY THIS ENTITY IS NOT GOING TO HAVE THE RESOURCES TO INDEMNIFY THE TOWN.

THEY'RE DRAFTING THE CLAWBACK PROVISIONS. THEY AGAIN YOU WONDER WHETHER

[00:30:02]

IT WOULD EVER EXERCISED BUT THE PROVISION ENDS WITH THE STATEMENT WE EVEN KNOW THAT BOTH THE TOWN AND THE NCC DC A DEFINED TERMS UNDER THAT AGREEMENT IT BEGINS WITH WE REQUEST TEN YEARS WHOSE WE I PRESUMING IT'S THE TOWN BUT IF I HAD DONE THAT KIND OF DRAFTING AND PRESENTED IT AS A FINAL DRAFT I'D BE HAVING A VERY UNCOMMON CONVERSATION WITH MY SENIOR PARTNER THAT'S JUST SLOPPY AND. IT SHOWS THIS ISN'T READY.

THE THING REALLY SCARES ME AND I HOPE I HAVE TIME IS THE IDEA THAT THE MAY TAKE CONTROL OF THIS PROJECT? OH JOY WE NOW HAVE A PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECT.

HOW WONDERFUL AND. AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE VARIOUS SECURED CREDITORS, THE LEAN HOLDERS THEY HAVEN'T AGREED AS FAR AS I CAN TELL TO MAKE THEIR RIGHT SECOND TO THE TOWNS AND NOW THE TOWN GOING TO STEP IN PROBABLY REQUIRE A NEW DEPARTMENT WITH, NEW PAID PUBLIC EMPLOYEES BECAUSE THE FIRST AND FOREMOST PURPOSE OF A BUREAUCRACY IS TO PRESERVE ITS EXISTENCE AND EXPAND AND NOW WE DE FACTO HAVE A PUBLIC HOUSING DEPARTMENT AND I WISH I HAD TIME TO GO FIRST. THANK YOU. LYNN GREELEY.

GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M IN GREELEY. I LIVE IN MOSS CREEK AND I WOULD LIKE TO MY 3 MINUTES TO SKIP HOAGLAND AND I HOPE YOU WILL DO THE CONSTITUTION HALL THING AND ALSO THE LAW AND BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT BEEN THAT THANK YOU.

WE WILL NOT READ COUNCIL WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THE THE YIELDING OF TIME AND MR. PERRY THE ONLY WAY WE CAN FAIRLY PRESENT A PROPER REBUTTAL TO THE CHAMBER'S 15 MINUTE FRAUDULENT PRESENTATION IS THAT WE FULLY EXPLAIN OUR OWN 9 TO 15 MINUTE PRESENTATIONS WHY THIS TOWN MUST STOP THIS ILLEGAL EIGHT TAX FUNDING TO THE CHAMBER AND ALSO WHY A NEW DMO WAS MANDATORY WHICH SHOULD BE A LOCAL MEDIA AND THE NEWSPAPER OR BEST CHOICE A LOCAL AD AGENCY. IN THIS PRESENTATION WE WILL SPELL OUT FACTS AND EVIDENCE AND THE LAWS THAT THE COUNCIL IS VIOLATING AS WELL AS THE CHAMBER WHICH SHOULD JUST OPERATE AS A LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE REPRESENTING ITS MEMBERS PLUMBERS, ELECTRICIANS, BEAUTY SALONS ETC. NOT BE IN ANY BUSINESS WHATSOEVER NORMALLY CARRIED ON BY A FOR JUST SUPPORT THE MEMBERS WHO ARE AND EXPLAIN WHY ANY TAX FUNDED DMN JOB SHOULD SHOULD BE DONE AN AD AGENCY NOT A LOCALLY LEGAL CHAMBER THAT DEVELOPS OUR TAX FUNDED WEBSITE IN CANADA HILTON HEAD ISLAND ORG AND NOT LOCALLY AND WORSE PROFITS FROM OUR TAX MONEY BY SELLING ADVERTISING AND COMPLETE OF 501 DESK SIX NOM TAX CODES AND MR. PERRY WE WILL ALSO FULLY EXPLAIN YOUR LIVES AND YOUR FRAUD SAYING YOU SAW THE CHAMBER ACCOUNTING WITH BILL MILES YOU NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THAT BENCH FROM THAT SEAT THIS INCLUDES EIGHT TAX HOSPITALITY FUNDS USED FOR BY BYRD FOREMAN CHAMBER LAWYERS ALSO REPRESENTING BILL MILES SC PR T FUNDS GENERAL TAX FUNDING AND 20 MILLION ISSUED BY GOVERNOR MCMASTER FOR COVID RELIEF TO FIVE CHAMBERS AND BILL MILES A 1.5 MILLION AND IT'S DISAPPEARED. WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE IS EIGHT TAX FUNDS ARE NOT NOT ON THE AGENDA NOR IS THE CHAMBER HOWEVER IN THE PAST YOU HAVE GIVEN CHAMBER 15 MINUTES FOR THEIR ANNUAL DOG AND PONY SHOW ABOUT HOW BUSINESS SHOULD CONTINUE HIRING THE CHAMBER AS A DEMO SO THEY CAN STEALING MILLIONS OF OUR TAX MONIES WITH NO OVERSIGHT OR SCRUTINY OF ANY KIND. THEREFORE I PLAN TO PRESENT 9 MINUTES AND MAYBE 15 MINUTES OF OPPOSING VIEW ON THIS COUNCIL'S CONDUCT AND THE CHAMBER FUNDING OPERATIONS WITH . PEOPLE LIKE MRS. GREALY WHO ARE GOING TO SEND ME THEIR 3 MINUTES MY PRESENTATION WILL FOCUS ON THIS WITH THIS TWO THREE CITIZENS GIVE ME THEIR COMMENTS TO SPEAK AS A GROUP AND JUDGE FOX HAS ALREADY RULED THIS IS TOTALLY LEGAL AND ALSO I WANT TO PRESENT THE IRS, THE A'S AND THE AMERICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE EXECUTIVES. THIS ARTICLE IN THE PACKET THAT SAYS SUPREME COURT OFFICIALS CAN BE SENT FOR BLOCKING. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, MR. MAGAZINE BY THE CHAMBER.

THANK YOU, MR. HOPE. I'M GOING TO GIVE THIS TO YOU AND GIVE IT TO THE MR..

SO NEXT UP ON THE AGENDA WE HAVE THE SECOND FINAL READING OF COURSE.

[8.a. Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend the Town of Hilton Head Island's Comprehensive Plan to Incorporate a Housing Impact Analysis - Second and Final Reading - Missy Luick, Director of Planning]

OH IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE SEND UP TO SPEAK? YEAH.

THANK YOU. WHAT'S NEXT ON THE AGENDA? WE HAVE THE SECOND AND FINAL FINAL READING CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMEND THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO INCORPORATE THE HOUSING ANALYSIS.

THIS WAS APPROVED ON FIRST READING 6 TO 1 ON MARCH 5TH. THE SEE LOWERED REPRESENTATION LIKE YOU YES I CAN DO THE PRESENTATION. IT'S THE SAME PRESENTATION AS

[00:35:09]

I'VE PRESENTED PRIOR TO WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY IS A REQUEST TO AMEND OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO INCORPORATE THE HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS. THIS HAS BEEN REVIEWED PUBLICLY OVER SEVERAL MONTHS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED HERE UP ON THE SCREEN AND THIS HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS WAS CREATED TO ENABLE COUNCIL TO UTILIZE UP TO 15% OF TAX MONIES FOR QUALIFIED WORKFORCE HOUSING AND THIS PROCESS WAS ACTIVATED WHEN THE GENERAL PASSED ACT 57 THAT ALLOWS THE ALLOWING ACCOMMODATIONS TAX TO SUPPORT QUALIFIED WORKFORCE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. THIS OUTLINES THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT ARE PROVIDED FOR THIS USED TO BE MET AND WE HAVE GONE THROUGH THE PROCESS TO CREATE THIS DOCUMENT. WE HAVE SUBMITTED IT TO THE REQUIRED AGENCIES THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE AND THE TOURISM EXPENDITURE REVIEW COMMITTEE AND THIS PUBLIC BODY FOR YOUR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION OVERALL THE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE ACT IDENTIFIED FIVE MAJOR COMPONENTS THAT ARE TO BE INCLUDED IN A HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS AND THEY ARE PROVIDED HERE. THOSE FIVE TOPICS INCLUDE AN EMPLOYMENT ANALYSIS, A HOUSING MARKET ANALYSIS, A HOUSING MARKET CONDITIONS ANALYSIS, CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND SOLVING THE HOUSING CRISIS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE DOCUMENT. SO IF THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS ABOUT THE HOUSING IMPACT THAT COMPLETES MY PRESENTATION. OKAY, THANK YOU. SO BEFORE WE BRING THE COUNCIL WILL OPEN UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT THIS PANEL SHOULD HAVE WE WORKED FOR COUNCIL TODAY YOU WILL BE VOTING ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ACT 57 BY ADOPTING TWO ORDINANCES.

UNFORTUNATELY THE HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS IN FRONT OF YOU READS MORE A RECYCLED HOUSING NEEDS REPORT NOT A DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON WORKING FAMILY COMMUNITIES SUCH AS MARSH SITE AND WOODLAKE THEREFORE WE URGE YOU TO VOTE NO TO THE HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MEET THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS STIPULATED BY ACT 57. WE ALSO URGE YOU TO VOTE NO TO THE BUDGET AMENDMENT BECAUSE CDP DOES NOT INCORPORATE HOMEOWNERSHIP IN ITS PROPOSAL ANOTHER VIOLATION OF THE SPIRIT OF ACT 57 THE $600,000 GRANTS TO CCD WOULD ONLY SECURE RENTAL UNITS FOR SIX HOUSEHOLDS OR FOUR HEARTBEATS A VERY EXPENSIVE PROPOSAL PROPOSITION THAT DOES NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE AFFORDABLE HOUSING SHORTAGE. FURTHERMORE, WE OBJECT TO A NARRATIVE A TOWN CCD PARTNERSHIP SERVES PUBLIC INTERESTS AND BENEFITS LOWER INCOME WORKERS. THE HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED FOR FOOD AND HOSPITALITY WORKERS CATERING TO TOURISM FIRST ACCORDING TO THE CHAMBER VISITORS COMING TO THE ISLAND NOT FOR ITS CULINARY SCENE BUT FOR ITS BEACHES BIKING TRAILS RELAX, ENVIRONMENT AND GOLF. SECOND, THE REPORT PAYS LITTLE ATTENTION TO THE RESIDENTS NEED OF ESSENTIAL WORKERS SUCH AS NURSES AND FIRST RESPONDERS WHO MOST LIKELY TO OWN HOMES ON THE ISLAND PERVERSELY SEE CDC COMPETE WITH THEM FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING INVENTORIES.

THIRD, IF THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF SERVERS, WHY DO WE SEE RESTAURANTS POPPING UP EVERY DAY? DO THE ISLAND RESIDENTS REALLY NEED 250 DINING OPTIONS ON THIS LITTLE? LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE 2019 WORKFORCE STRATEGY PLAN DO YOU FIND RENTAL OF AFFORDABLE BUILDING FOR WAGE EARNERS AS A BETWEEN FIVE $75 TO 1250 DOLLARS? WHY DOESN'T THE HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS INDICATE THAT MOST ALMOST HALF OF CITIES D.C. PROPOSED RENTS ARE BETWEEN $2,000 AND 20 $800 AND SOME OF THOSE UNITS CHARGING ABOVE MARKET RATES EVEN AFTER FREE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT AND BEING EXEMPT FROM PAYING PROPERTY TAXES. HOW DOES THAT BENEFIT LOWER INCOME WORKERS? IT'S A FALSE NOTION THAT A TAX HAS TO BE SPENT WITHIN TWO YEARS OF RECEIPT ACTUALLY 57 PERMITS CARRY FORWARD ABOUT TWO THIRDS AFFIRMATIVE VOTE BY THE COUNCIL THE LAW WILL BE SUNSET IN SEVEN YEARS IF THE COUNCIL ARE NOT JUDICIOUS HOW THE MONEY

[00:40:03]

IS SPENT THE STATE LAW FROM THE TOWNS HOUSING FRAMEWORK. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENT? YES SIR ON IS REAL SIMPLE.

LESS GOVERNMENT MORE FREE ENTERPRISE AND THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF OUR LAWSUIT.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUED AND THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE REASONS YOU'RE USING OUR TAX MONEY IS LEGAL AND IT'S GOING TO BE DISCOVERED AND IT'S GOING TO BE ALL PUT OUT.

YOU NEED TO STOP IT. THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM.

EVENING. GOOD EVENING. OKAY.

I'M MILLIKEN IN AND I JUST WANT TO THANK THE TOWN COUNCIL FOR ALL THE WORK THAT YOU ARE DOING AND YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING TO US. AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS ABOUT US NATIVE ISLANDERS HERE ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND.

YOU KNOW, I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS FOR A LONG TIME AND MOSTLY WHEN YOU ARE LIVING SOMEWHERE AND THINGS GET BAD YOU CAN LEAVE AND GO BACK. BUT WHEN I THINK ABOUT US HERE NATIVE ISLANDERS WE ARE HOME. WE CAN'T LEAVE TO GO ANYWHERE BECAUSE WE ARE HERE.

SO WE ARE STUCK WITH WHATEVER IS OUR WAY. SO COMING UP ALL THROUGH THE YEARS OF YOU KNOW FOR 80 YEARS AND I GREW UP IN CHURCH AND THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THINGS GOT HARD THE ONLY THING WE COULD DO IS PRAY. SO I'M ASKING ALL MY NATIVE ISLANDERS NOT TO FORGET THE WORD OF PRAYER. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR STARTING THIS MEETING OFF WITH A PRAYER. SO I JUST WANT TO I WANT US TO REMEMBER THAT WE CANNOT STOP. WE CAN'T GET DISCOURAGED SOMETIMES WE DO GET WE TAKE A BREAK BUT WE GOT TO STAND BACK UP AND GET BACK IN THE RACE. AND AS I REMEMBER JOSEPH PRAYER BACK IN SECOND CHRONICLES HE PRAYED OH GOD, OH GOD. WELL THOU NOT JUDGE THEM.

WELL, WE HAVE NO MADE AGAINST THIS GREAT COMPANY THAT COMETH AGAINST US.

NEITHER NO WHAT TO DO. BUT OUR EYES ARE UPON YOU. AND OF COURSE GOD ANSWERED HIM IN VERSE 17 AND SAID YOU SHALL NOT YOU SHALL NOT NEED TO FIGHT IN THIS BATTLE SUCH YOURSELVES.

THEN YOU STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD WITH YOU. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN JERUSALEM AND NOT NOT BEAT ME TOMORROW. GO OUT AGAINST THEM FOR THE LORD WILL BE WITH YOU.

SO I JUST WANT OUR PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT GOD IS WITH US. HE HEARS AND ALL WE GOT TO DO IS KEEP ON CALLING ON HIM. AND EVEN I KNOW THE NUMBERS SEEM TO BE DWINDLING IF GOD IS WITH US WE DON'T NEED THE CROWD. WE NEED HIM.

SO I JUST WANT US TO REMEMBER THAT THE OH GOD IS GOOD. HIDDLESTON ALLOW US TO COME TO THE AND ALLOW PEOPLE TO WORK FOR NOTHING. BUT HE ALLOWED US PAY THEM TO PURCHASE THE LAND THAT WE WOULD BE HERE. SO WE ARE HERE.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE HERE FOREVER. SO I JUST WANT MY PEOPLE TO BE ENCOURAGED. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR ATTENTION.

IF YOU MUST GO GOING ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.

YES SIR. THANK YOU, COUNSEL. JOHN SMART HILTON HEAD PLANTATION I DECIDED TO DO A LITTLE WORK IN REVIEW THE BILL THAT SENATOR TOM DAVIS PASSED AND IT'S A FASCINATING NINE PAGES. WHAT'S FASCINATING IS THIS VERSE IS IN THE BILL AT LEAST SEVEN TIMES AND IT'S DEVELOPMENT OF WORKFORCE HOUSING WHICH MUST INCLUDE TO PROMOTE HOME OWNERSHIP. IT'S IN THE MIDDLE SEVEN TIMES MAYBE EIGHT. WHAT I FIND FASCINATING IS IN OUR ANALYSIS THAT WE'RE GETTING READY TO TO APPROVE I'M JUST PRETTY MUCH GOING THROUGH THE TICK MARKS OF WHAT IT REQUIRES SUCH AN HE SAYS THE DENSITY LOCATION SETBACK SIZE OR HEIGHT DEVELOPMENT A LOT PARCEL LAND DIVISION OR SUBDIVISION AND ANALYSIS OF RELATIVE IMPACT OF AN ORDINANCE ON LOW AND

[00:45:01]

MODERATE INCOME. WE ONLY BRIEFLY SAY WE'RE COMMENTING WE'RE GOING TO LOOK INTO IT IF WE'RE GOING TO PASS SOMETHING AND PRESENT IT TO THE STATE AND IT BECOMES AN ORDINANCE. I THINK WE NEED TO A LITTLE MORE DETAILED LOOK ON THIS SECTION. OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR IT.

IT'S IMPORTANT IT'S IN THE BILL AND I JUST THAT BEFORE WE VOTE YES ON THIS I THINK YOU ALL NEED TO CONSIDER THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. ISLEY.

ONE LAST TIME ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT, SO ON.

IS THERE A MOTION FROM THE MAYORS? I CAN MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO INCORPORATE A HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS THIS A SECOND AND FINAL READING.

SECOND DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL SPEAKER SO I HAVE CONSISTENTLY NOT ACCEPTED THIS HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T ADDRESS THE IMPACT THAT ANY OF THE WORK THAT MIGHT COME AFTER ACT 57 BECOMES PART OF OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND WE'RE MOVING FORWARD THE IMPACT THAT WILL HAVE ON THE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES THAT IT GOING TO BE UNDOUBTEDLY PLACED INTO THAT'S A PROBLEM. THIS ANALYSIS SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THE OVERALL COMMUNITY THAT IT'S GOING TO IMPACT. THE WORDS ARE IN THE DESCRIPTION AND IT DOESN'T DO THAT OR THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN IT. MANY ARE SNAPSHOTS IN TIME THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN RELY ON AS A CONSISTENT MOVING FORWARD AND I DON'T BELIEVE BECAUSE OF THAT IT SHOULD BE EMBEDDED INTO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

SO ARE TWO THINGS. THIRDLY, WE HAVE AN INTERESTING SITUATION WHEN MISSY WAS PUTTING UP THE DATA NEEDED TO BE INCLUDED. WHAT SEEMS TO ME IS OBVIOUSLY MISSING IS A SURVEY A SURVEY THAT INDICATES TO US OUR CURRENT CONDITIONS THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE EMPLOYERS ACROSS, THE ISLAND TO ASK THEIR EMPLOYEES WHAT WHERE THEY WANT TO LIVE, HOW THEY WANT TO LIVE . DO WE KNOW WHAT THE TIME SCHEDULES ARE FROM THE VARIOUS SHIFTS THAT THEY MIGHT BE EMPLOYED? WE DON'T KNOW ANY OF THOSE PIECES OF INFORMATION THAT WOULD LEND FAR MORE CREDENCE TO WHAT A REAL ISSUE IS AND HOW TO ADDRESS IT. SO IT'S INCOMPLETE.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN MENTIONED AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE LOOKED CLOSELY IN DEPTH TO THE LANGUAGE OF ACT 57 AND ITS ACTUAL BECAUSE THIS ISN'T THE LAST PLACE IT STOPS RIGHT. WE APPROVE IT AND THEN IT GOES ON AND IT GETS REVIEWED AND I CERTAINLY TO MAKE SURE THAT HILTON HEAD DOESN'T HAVE EGG ON ITS FACE WHEN THAT FURTHER REVIEW IS DONE. THE HOME OWNERSHIP PIECE IS CLEARLY. ACT 57 REQUIRES THAT WHOEVER IS TAKING PART IN RECEIVING ANY TAX FUNDS HAS TO PROVIDE MEANINGFUL HOME OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY AND NOT JUST A CURSORY SEMINAR ON HOW TO SAVE YOUR MONEY AND HOW TO BE FISCALLY.

IN FACT, SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS ABOUT HOW THAT TAKE PLACE THAT HARD TO FIND INSULTING JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE MIGHT NEED HELP DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR MONEY. SO THOSE ARE SOME BASIC REASONS WHY THIS HOUSING IMPACTS ANALYSIS IS NOT READY TO BE APPROVED. IT SHOULD BE SENT BACK FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO REALLY BE EMBEDDED INTO IT SO THAT WE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS THAT WE ARE CONSIDERING TO SPEND EVERY TAX MONEY AND BY THE WAY EIGHT TAX MONEY THAT WE DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE A FAUCET ROLLING CASH DOLLARS OUT AT US.

THOSE MONEYS ARE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE AND THOSE MONIES ARE GOING TO FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS THAT WE ASSIST. IT'S GOING TO COME FROM OUR OWN TOWN GOVERNMENT THAT WE USE MONEY FOR OUR FIRE AND RESCUE AND I THINK WE ARE DOING DAMAGE ULTIMATELY TO THE TOWN BY

[00:50:01]

TAKING ANY OF THOSE DOLLARS OFF THE TABLE AND DIRECTING THEM THROUGH ANY HOUSING INITIATIVES MOVING FORWARD. SO I WILL BE OBVIOUSLY VOTING NO AND I ENCOURAGE THE REST OF YOU TO THINK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE HEARD AND TO READ CAREFULLY ABOUT WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED. ALSO VOTE NOW AND SEND IT BACK UNTIL IT'S A COMPLETE ANALYSIS AND REALLY READY FOR US TO CONSIDER. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. WE DO HAVE A LONG MEETING SO IF WE CAN REFRAIN FROM THAT THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL ? ALL RIGHT. SO THERE IS A MOTION ON THE TABLE FROM THE TO INCORPORATED HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS OF THE SECOND BY MS. BRICE AND ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF SIGNIFY BY RAISING YOUR RIGHT HAND. ALL THOSE OPPOSED THAT WOULD BE 6 TO 1 CONSIDERATION OF A

[9.a. Consideration of a Resolution to Authorize Submittal of the Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Program Annual Action Plan for Program Year 2024 to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. - Marcy Benson, Senior Grants Administrator]

RESOLUTION. ALL RIGHT. WELL NEXT UP IS MARCY BENSON, SENIOR GRANTS ADMINISTRATOR TO THE CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE MIDDLE OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2024 TO THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING URBAN DEVELOPMENT.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING MANY DISCUSSIONS ON THIS LATELY SO THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.

THE MOUTHFUL FOR THE RECORD MY NAME IS MARCY BENSON SENIOR GRANTS ADMINISTRATOR AND AT THE MARCH 12TH FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE MEETING THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF THE CDBG ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2024 TO HUD. APPROVAL OF THIS RESOLUTION THE FULL COUNCIL WILL ALLOW FOR THE 2024 CDBG FUNDING ALLOCATION TO BE USED FOR THE PATTERSON PARK PROJECT. HUD HAS NOT YET ISSUED PROGRAM YEAR 2024 CDB FUNDING ALLOCATIONS. CHECK EVERY DAY I PROMISE YOU. BUT IN PREVIOUS YEARS WE'VE RECEIVED APPROXIMATELY $200,000 AND WE ANTICIPATE FOR THAT AMOUNT TO BE SIMILAR FOR 2020 FOR PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT LET'S IT AND THE ANNUAL OR THE 30 DAY PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD WAS CONDUCTED NO COMMENTS WERE RECEIVED AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY THAT COUNCIL MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THIS PLAN. FIRST WE'RE GOING TO PUBLIC COMMENT THE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS ITEM BEING DONE. WE HAVE A MOTION AND BE HAPPY TO MAKE A MOTION I WILL MOVE TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE MIDDLE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR THE PROGRAM YEAR 2024 TO THE US OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT SECOND DISCUSSION BY COUNCIL BINGO DISCUSSION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. ALL IN FAVOR OF SUPPORTING THE MOTION BY MR. AMES AND SECONDED BY MR. ALFRED FOR THE CITY BLOCK GRANT ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR 2024 PLEASE SIGNIFY BY RAISING YOUR RIGHT HAND. THAT WOULD BE 7 TO 0.

[9.b. Consideration of a Resolution to Authorize Submittal of the Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Program 2021 Annual Action Plan Substantial Amendment to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. - Marcy Benson, Senior Grants Administrator]

THANK YOU. WE WILL CONTINUE WITH CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZE SUBMITTAL OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM 2021 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU. YOU MAY RECALL AT YOUR FEBRUARY MEETING THIS WAS AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA. THIS WAS AN AMENDMENT FOR THE 2024 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN TO INCLUDE LAND ACQUISITION COSTS AS AN ACTIVITY THAT CAN BE FUNDED BY THE 2024 ALLOCATION. THAT IS THE ONLY CHANGE THAT WE ARE PROPOSING FOR THIS AMENDMENT TO THE PLAN. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.

FIRST I'LL OPEN IT UP TO PUBLIC COMMENT. YES, MA'AM.

I'LL IT'S NOT A COMMENT. IT'S A QUESTION. SO ARE WE DOING WITH HUD MONEY FOR FOR FOR THE PARK? I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS AND ALSO WHAT THE HEART STRINGS ARE ATTACHED AND IF WE HAVE A TAX ALLOCATED TO SOME PROJECTS SO WHY DO WE NEED HOT MONEY INSTEAD OF USING THEM AS TAX MONEY? SO I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC. OKAY.

SEEING THAT WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE DIGEST. WE HAVE A MOTION.

YES I MAY HAVE TO APPROVE A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE MIDDLE OF A COMMUNITY

[00:55:04]

DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM 2021 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE US DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE A SECOND SECOND QUESTIONS DISCUSSION BY COUNSEL. YES, MA'AM.

SO WE HEARD A QUESTION FROM THE RESIDENTS WHO DON'T COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS ABOUT. WOULD YOU PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND AND PHYLLIS.

SURE. THE TOWN IS A HUD COMMUNITY BLOCK GRANT ENTITLEMENT COMMUNITY AND THAT MEANS WE RECEIVE FUNDING YEARLY FROM HUD DIRECTLY THE HUD OFFICES IN WASHINGTON D.C.. WE DO NOT HAVE TO SUBMIT APPLICATIONS ON A COMPETITIVE BASIS WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT APPROVES THE BUDGET .

THEN HUD GETS THEIR PORTION. THEY CALCULATE HOW MUCH THE WOULD RECEIVE AND THEN THEY GIVE US THE NOTIFICATION. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF REQUIREMENTS IN THE PROGRAM PRIMARY. THE FUNDS MUST BE USED TO BENEFIT LOW AND MODERATE INCOME RESIDENTS. AND FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

THEY CAN ALSO BE USED FOR PUBLIC SERVICE TYPES OF PROJECTS.

THERE IS A LONG VERY LONG LIST OF ELIGIBLE PROJECTS BUT THOSE ARE PRIMARILY THE MAJORITY OF THE TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT GET FUNDED WITH CDBG MONEY. RC AREN'T THEY EXCLUSIVELY RESTRICTED TO CERTAIN CENSUS TRACTS? WHEN WE USE FUNDS FOR DOING PROJECTS SUCH AS PUBLIC PARKS THAT THEY MUST OCCUR IN CENSUS TRACTS THAT MEET THE LOW TO MODERATE INCOME ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT WHICH MEANS THAT THE THE CENSUS MUST BE 51% OR HIGHER LOW TO MODERATE INCOME. WITHIN THE TOWN THERE ARE ONLY THREE CENSUS TRACTS THAT MEET THAT ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND CAN YOU JUST FILL US IN? I THINK THE THE THE QUESTION WITH REGARD TO STRINGS, THAT'S WE ALL ARE WORRIED ABOUT WHENEVER WE GET FREE MONEY WHAT IS OUR REQUIREMENT BACK? WE'RE GRATEFUL WHEN WE CAN GET MONEY AND THERE ARE NO STRINGS ARE THERE STRINGS ATTACHED? YES.

PRIMARILY ADMINISTRATIVE TYPES OF STRINGS THERE ARE PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THERE IS LOW TO MODERATE INCOME REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE TO FOLLOW IT WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO ACTUALLY USING THE MONEY FOR A PROJECT THERE ARE PROCUREMENT REQUIREMENTS THAT WE WOULD NEED TO FOLLOW. SO THOSE ARE THE TYPES OF REQUIREMENTS OR RESTRICTIONS THAT WE ARE HELD TO IN THIS PROGRAM. THANK YOU.

AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT MARCY IF YOU JUST EXPLAIN WHERE WE TRADITIONALLY USE THE FUNDS RIGHT IN FRONT OF PARKS AND GREEN SPACES INCLUDING SOME EASEMENT OR LAND ACQUISITION.

SO I THINK THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF IT AS ALWAYS .

AND THEN THERE ARE LESS DIFFERENT STREAMS WE'RE SHARING CONCRETE NOT WORKING ON ANY LONG TERM PROGRAM PERCUSSION, RIGHT? CORRECT.

IN IN THE PAST YEAR EXCEPT FOR 2020 WHICH WAS THE EXCEPTION YEAR, ALL OF OUR CDBG FUNDS HAVE BEEN USED FOR WHAT HUD WOULD CALL PUBLIC IMPROVE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS.

IN THE BEGINNING IN 2015 AND 2016 WE FUNDED DIRT ROAD PAVING PROJECTS AND WE MOVED TO FUNDING PARK PROJECTS. WE DID AN OF THE SAILING AND ROWING CENTER.

WE PUT A NEW PLAYGROUND THERE ADDITIONAL PARKING. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT FUNDED THAT WERE FUNDED WITH CDBG MONEY. 2020 WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT AS WE ALL RECALL IT WAS COVERED HUD, RELAXED SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND WE WERE ABLE TO USE 100% OF OUR CDBG FUNDING THAT YEAR FOR PUBLIC SERVICES THAT ASSISTED CITIZEN FUNDS WITH RECOVERY IN RESPONSE TO COVID SO WE WERE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF THE LITTLE COUNTRY THROUGH A PROGRAM THAT ALLOWED VARIOUS PUBLIC SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS HERE ON THE ISLAND FOR INSTANCE THE BOYS AND GIRLS THE ISLAND REC CENTER. SOME OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS WITH PROVIDING ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE CDBG FUNDS FOR PROGRAMS THAT THEY WERE FUNDING TO ASSIST WITH THE RESPONSE TO COVID. BUT THAT WAS THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE WITH THE PUBLIC SERVICE FUNDING. SURE. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? COUNCIL QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. SEEING THAT WE'VE GOT A MOTION BY MR. AMES A SECOND BY MR. STANFORD TO THE MIDDLE OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM 2021 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT IS THERE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR PLEASE SIGNIFY BY RAISING YOUR RIGHT HAND THAT BE 720. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[9.c. Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend the Town of Hilton Head Island Budget for the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2024; to Provide for the Budgeted Appropriations of the Prior Year Budget Roll Forwards and Certain Other Appropriations and Commitments and the Expenditures of Certain Funds; to Allocate the Sources of Revenue for the Said Funds; and to Provide for Severability and an Effective Date - First Reading - Josh Gruber, Deputy Town Manager]

[01:00:04]

UP NEXT ON THE AGENDA WE JOSH GRUBER TO PRESENT FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR JUNE 2000 OR JUNE 30TH 2024 TO PROVIDE FOR THE BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS OF PRIOR YEAR BUDGET ROLL FORWARDS AND CERTAIN OTHER APPROPRIATIONS AND COMMITMENTS AND EXPENDITURES OF CERTAIN FUNDS TO ALLOCATE THE SOURCES REVENUE FOR THE SAID FUNDS AND TO PROVIDE FOR SEVERABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. THANK YOU MAYOR. MEMBERS GOOD AFTERNOON. WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS THE PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENT AND AS I THINK MOST OF YOU ARE AWARE, BUDGET AMENDMENTS ARE A PART OF THE TOWN'S ANNUAL FISCAL PROCESS. THEY SERVE A COUPLE OF FUNCTIONS ONE A LOT OF TIMES WHEN WE'RE BUILDING A BUDGET WE'RE USING PROJECTIONS AND SO AT A CERTAIN POINT IN TIME IN THE YEAR GO FROM HAVING PROJECTED NUMBERS TO HAVING ACTUAL NUMBERS.

AND SO A BUDGET AMENDMENT ALLOWS US TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES TO REFLECT ACTUAL RATHER THAN PROJECTIONS. IT ALSO ALLOWS US AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ACTIONS THAT EITHER THE COUNCIL HAS TAKEN OR ACTIONS THAT HAVE ARISEN THE COURSE OF IMPLEMENTING THE BUDGET THAT AFFECT IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. AND SO I WANT TO WALK YOU THROUGH WHAT IS BEING PROPOSED TODAY IN TERMS OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENT, THE ELEMENTS THEREIN AND THEN ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. SO I WANT TO START WITH LOOKING AMENDMENTS TO THE GENERAL FUND. THE FIRST ONE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS MOVING FUNDING FORWARD LAST YEAR'S ADOPTED BUDGET INTO THIS YEAR'S ADOPTED BUDGET SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMPLEMENTING BEACH PARKING MANAGEMENT SERVICES. LAST YEAR COUNCIL APPROVED A CONTRACT WITH PCI TO MANAGE PARKING SERVICES FOR THE TOWN A TOTAL COST OF $869,730 WITH $366,965 OF THAT COMING TOWARDS OPERATING EXPENSES AND A LITTLE OVER $500,000 TOWARDS CAPITAL EXPENSES. A BREAKDOWN OF THAT BUDGET INCLUDED IN YOUR BACKUP MATERIALS TODAY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SPECIFICS OF IT IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET. THERE WAS $308,508 THAT WAS IDENTIFIED FOR BEACH PARKING MANAGEMENT THAT REMAINED UNSPENT AS PART OF THAT BUDGET AND WE ARE PROPOSING TO ROLL THAT MONEY FORWARD FROM LAST YEAR'S BUDGET INTO THIS YEAR'S BUDGET IN AMOUNT.

THE NEXT ITEM I WANT TO COVER IS ROLLING FORWARD SIMILAR FUNDINGS BUT THIS TIME INSTEAD OF BEACH PARKING WE'RE LOOKING AT THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE REVISIONS AND UPDATES . SIMILARLY THERE WAS FUNDING THAT WAS APPROVED IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET. WE ARE PROPOSING TO MOVE FORWARD A TOTAL AMOUNT OF $350,000 TOWARDS THIS YEAR'S FISCAL 2024 BUDGET AND THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO PAY FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF OF THE TOTAL COST OF THIS SERVICE. THE PLAN IS TO BUDGET FOR IT IN THIS YEAR THROUGH THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT OF $350,000. AND THEN WHEN YOU SEE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET YOU'LL SEE A CORRESPONDING PLACEHOLDER OF 350,000 FOR A TOTAL CONTRACT PRICE OF AROUND $700,000 FOR THAT WORK. NEXT WE'RE PROPOSING A AMENDMENT TO THE STATE ACCOMMODATIONS TAXES UNDER THE FLY FOUR AFFILIATED AGENCY PROGRAM. THIS WAS A RECOMMENDATION CAME OUT OF THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE. SPECIFICALLY IT RECOMMENDS FUNDING THE COASTAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $600,000. AND SIMILARLY THE HILTON HEAD HABITAT FOR HUMANITY IN THE AMOUNT OF $500,000. A SCHEDULE SHOWING THE CURRENT AVAILABLE CITY OF STATE ACCOMMODATIONS TAX FUNDS THAT THE TOWN HAS ON HAND WHICH IS I THINK AS WE'VE DISCUSSED BEFORE IT'S A LITTLE BIT TRICKY IN THAT YOU'VE GOT A CALENDAR YEAR YOUR CALENDAR YEAR BASED GRANT PROGRAM BUT A FISCAL YEAR BASED COLLECTION AND REPORTING PROGRAM AND SO THOSE FIGURES REPRESENT HALF OF CASH HAND AND HALF PROJECTIONS OF REVENUES THAT ARE TO BE COLLECTED BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR AND SO CUMULATIVE ODDLY WE'RE PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO TRANSFER $1.1 BILLION FROM EXISTING FUND BALANCE FOR STATE ACCOMMODATIONS TAX FUNDS FOR THESE TWO PURPOSES.

NEXT WILL AN ALLOCATION OF HOSPITALITY TAX FUNDS. AND THIS IS SPECIFICALLY IN REFERENCE TO THE 2024 RBC HERITAGE GOLF TOURNAMENT AGREEMENT.

THE TOWN COUNCIL RECENTLY APPROVED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MONEY THAT WAS BUDGETED WITHIN THE FY 24 BUDGET AND THE AMOUNT OF THE SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT THAT WAS APPROVED BY IS REFLECTED IN THIS BUDGET AMENDMENT. AND SIMILARLY WE'RE PROPOSING BRING THOSE FUNDS FORWARD FROM EXISTING HOSPITALITY TAX FUND BALANCE.

[01:05:01]

WE GO AHEAD AND PAUSE RIGHT THERE BEFORE I GET INTO THE LAND ACQUISITION.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OF THOSE WITHIN THE GENERAL FUND AND THEN I'LL MOVE INTO SIP PROGRAM. MARK CAN I MAKE A MOTION TO REMOVE THE TWO AFFILIATED AGENCY ELEMENTS OF THIS AMENDMENT TO L TO DISCUSS SEPARATELY? I LIKE TO DO THAT. PLEASE. IS THERE A SECOND THING THAT MOTION FAILS. OKAY, I'LL KEEP MOVING FORWARD. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN AMENDMENTS AND AGAIN THOSE ARE A SEPARATE FUND FROM OUR GENERAL FUND.

THIS REALLY DOES REFLECT A LOT OF THE WE ESTIMATES IN TERMS OF FUNDING SOURCES AND NOW WE HAVE ACTUALS. THOSE GO FOR PROJECT BASED EXPENDITURES AND ALSO REVENUES THAT WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS AND SO YOU'LL SEE THE FIRST ONE THAT WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS IS THE LAND ACQUISITION PURCHASES THAT TOWN COUNCIL HAS AUTHORIZED RAISED WITHIN THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. AND SO THERE'S A CHART THAT SHOWS THE PROPERTY THAT WAS ACQUIRED THE PURCHASE PRICE AND THE SOURCE OF FUNDS THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO USE FOR THAT PURCHASE. AND SO IF APPROVED TODAY YOU WOULD SEE THE CUMULATIVE EXPENSE OF 11,997,000 MOVED FROM THOSE VARIOUS SOURCE OF FUNDS INTO THE CIP BUDGET AND REFLECT IT AS A TOTAL EXPENDITURE WITHIN THE IPI BUDGET.

NEXT WE HAVE CIP CARRY FORWARD SO THESE ARE FUNDS THAT WERE BUDGETED WITHIN THE VARIOUS BUCKETS OF PROGRAM IN OUR CIP PROGRAM THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO CARRY FORWARD FROM THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 BUDGET THAT WERE UNSPENT AND BE BROUGHT FORWARD THE FISCAL YEAR 2024 BUDGET. AND THERE'S A BREAKDOWN THOSE I'M GOING TO EXCLUDE LAND ACQUISITION BECAUSE WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THAT BUT CUMULATIVELY THERE'D BE $286,000 FOR BEACH IMPROVEMENTS $607,000 FOR PATHWAY IMPROVEMENTS, $530,000 FOR ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. $363,000 FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS AND THEN $1,490,000 FOR FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT IMPROVEMENTS. AND AGAIN, LET ME PAUSE THERE BEFORE I MOVE ON TO THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN BECAUSE THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN IS SEPARATE FROM OUR BUDGET BUT OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE OF ITS NATURE WE WANTED TO BRING IT FORWARD AS PART OF THIS DISCUSSION. SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE AMENDMENTS TO THE CIP PLAN BASED UPON WHAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED IN THE QUESTIONS? AND SO LASTLY WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE AMERICAN PLAN THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT, ARPA SPENDING PLAN AS I THINK MOST OF YOU RECALL THIS WAS FUNDING THAT RECEIVED FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN RESPONSE TO COVID . THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY OF THIS FUNDING THE TOWN RECEIVED TO MAKE UP LOST REVENUES THAT IT MIGHT HAVE OTHERWISE RECEIVED DIRECTLY INTO ITS GENERAL FUND. WE BROUGHT FORWARD A SPENDING PLAN TO TOWN COUNCIL THAT OUTLINED VARIOUS WAYS IN WHICH THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE USED WITH WHERE WE ARE NOW WE ARE PROPOSING TO MAKE AMENDMENTS TO THAT PROGRAM THAT WOULD DO THE FOLLOWING IT WOULD BRING FORWARD AN ADDITIONAL $200,000 IN FUNDING FROM THE PUBLIC PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE SLASH TBD ACCOUNT INTO THE HOME SAFE AND REPAIR PROGRAM AND $100,000 INTO THE LATERAL SEWER CONNECTIONS AGAIN FROM THE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE TBD ACCOUNT THAT WOULD FOR A CUMULATIVE FUNDING AMOUNT IN THE HOME SAFE AND REPAIR PROGRAM OF $600,000 AND A CUMULATIVE AMOUNT IN THE LATERAL CONNECTIONS PROGRAM OF $300,000.

AND THEN FOLLOWING THAT THERE'S SOME DATA OUTLINING THE CURRENT STATUS OF THOSE PROJECTS THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN PROCESSED AND THE NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS THAT ARE PENDING FOR FUTURE ACTION AND THAT THE SCOPE OF THE BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT WE HAVE BEFORE YOU THIS EVENING FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. OKAY. THANK YOU.

SO NOW I'LL TAKE IT AND OPEN COMMENT ON ALL THOSE ITEMS IN 3 MINUTES.

YES, MA'AM MA'AM. GOOD AFTERNOON. MELODY TANNER, PEMBROKE HALL YOUR PROCESS ALLOWS FOR BUDGET AMENDMENTS AND THAT WAS SOMETHING I HAVE IN MY TOOLKIT MY PROFESSIONAL CAREER AND I CAN THINK OF A FEW TIMES WHEN I WOULD HAVE LIKED THAT BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND THEIR TIMING RELATED MOVING FROM ONE FISCAL YEAR TO ANOTHER YOU'RE APPROVING NEW SPENDING FROM SOME OF YOUR FUND BALANCES LIKE THE LAND PURCHASES FIRST.

FROM A PROCEDURAL PERSPECTIVE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS DOESN'T GO THROUGH THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE FIRST. COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON THE E

[01:10:03]

BEACH PARKING ALLOCATION. THERE'S A REQUEST TO MOVE UNSPENT PLANT OPERATING DOLLARS FROM FISCAL YEAR 2023 TO 2024 TOTALING $308,000. WHEN I SEE OPERATIONAL EXPENSES THAT MEANS TO ME IT WOULD BE THE ONGOING COST OF RUNNING THE PROGRAM.

AND MY QUESTION IS WHEN YOU HAVE ALREADY PLANNED TO OPERATIONAL EXPENSES FISCAL YEAR 2024 AND IF SO WHY DO YOU NEED TO ADD MORE OPERATING DOLLARS? SECOND, IN REGARD THE CIP CARRYOVER THE MATERIALS DESCRIBE THIS AS MOVING FORWARD FUNDS FROM FISCAL YEAR 2023 TO 2024. AND MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS MEANT BY UNSPENT FUNDS? IS THIS FOR SPECIFIC PROJECTS THAT YOU STILL INTEND TO DO? TIMING IS IN THE NEW FISCAL YEAR. I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT DO YOU ALSO CARRYOVER FUNDS IF YOU SPEND LESS THAN YOU PLANNED ON A SPECIFIC PROJECT OR IN A GENERAL IMPROVEMENT CATEGORY? MY FEELING IS ANY SAVINGS SHOULD BE BOOKED. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE FEEDBACK.

THANK YOU. OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS THIS MONOPOLY AND FUNNY MONEY AND BIG GOVERNMENT GROUP WERE FOUND GUILTY OF THREE ETHICS VIOLATIONS HE SHOULD BE FIRED.

FIRST THE BUDGET AND EXPENDITURES ON THE AGENDA INCLUDING ALL YEAR END AUDITS ARE FRAUDULENT. THEY SHOW THE NUMBERS ARE CROOKED.

MANAGER, CPA AND LAWYERS YOU TO SEE. AND FACT IS NO ONE ON THIS COUNCIL IS A CPA WITH THE ABILITY TO ENSURE THEY'RE ACCURATE.

THIS IS WHY TAXPAYERS SHOULD FORCES COUNCIL WHO WORKS FOR US TO HIRE AN OUTSIDE EXPERT TOWN CPA TO EXAMINE ALL THE BUDGETS THE LEGAL EXPENDITURES TO ENSURE ALL THE FINANCIAL CONTROLS ARE IN PLACE AND PERFORM A FORENSIC AUDIT. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO FULLY IDENTIFY ALL WASTE AND ILLEGAL USE OF OUR TAX FUNDS AND MORE SEVERE.

I PREDICT SAD TO SAY PRISON ONCE FORENSIC AUDIT IS COMPLETE AND I RECOMMEND A FIRM FROM CHARLESTON THAT'S MADE UP OF FORMER FBI AGENTS. I'VE USED THEM AND THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB. BILLIONS OF OUR TAX AND HOSPITALITY FUNDS HAVE DISAPPEARED UNACCOUNTED FOR. NONE OF YOU HAVE SEEN IT. NONE OF .

YOU WERE ALL ELECTED TO APPROVE SPENDING GUARD TAX MONEY LIKE YOUR OWN FAMILY'S MONEY, NOT VOTE IN FAVOR TO ALLOW OUR TOWN EMPLOYEES AND LAWYERS TO ROB US BLIND AND CONTROL ALL OF US.

EXCUSE ME. CONTROL ALL OF YOU LIKE MINDLESS PUPPETS.

HOW DARE YOU ALL VOTE TO ALLOW THE ONGOING THEFT OF MILLIONS OF OUR TAX MONEY, OUR HARD EARNED MONEY AND MANY STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO BE BROKEN. YOU SHOULD ALL BE LIABLE.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF, MR. PERRY. LAWYER GRUBER FOUND GUILTY AGAIN OF THREE ETHICS VIOLATIONS LAWYER COLTRANE ALFORD FINGER DRAFTED FRAUDULENT CONTRACTS ORLANDO ILLEGALLY USED AND ISSUED TAX FUNDS WHILE HE WORKED IN BLUFFTON WITH CROOKED MAYOR SOKO CPA TROYER FRAUDULENT BUDGETS AND AUDITS ONLY HAD THE NUMBERS THE CHAMBERS IN THE CHAMBER AND OVERCHARGE LEGAL FEES.

AGAIN MR. PERRY COMMITTED CRIMINAL FRAUD FOR HIS FRIEND BILL MILES, SAYING SAW A COUNTING OF MILLIONS. YOU'RE A LIAR, MR. PERRY. YOU NEED TO BE REMOVED.

LAWYER ALFRED KING KIM LIKENS OTHERS COMMITTED CRIMINAL OF STATE AND FEDERAL BANKING LAWS. THE ENTIRE COUNCIL VOTED TO ILLEGALLY FUND MILLIONS TO BILL MILES IN THIS CHAMBER KNEW IT WAS ILLEGAL AND THEY STILL VOTED FOR IT.

IT'S SO BAD THAT I DON'T EVEN THINK GOD CAN HELP SAVE US. THANK YOU, MR. DUNCAN.

OTHER COMMENTS IN THE PUBLIC. ALL RIGHT. BEING DONE.

WE'LL BRING IT BACK. WE HAVE A MOTION THERE. I MOVE TO APPROVE AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE TOWN OF HILTON ISLAND BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30TH, 2024 TO PROVIDE FOR THE BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS THE PRIOR YEAR BUDGET MOVE FORWARDS AND CERTAIN OTHER APPROPRIATIONS COMMITMENTS AND THE EXPENDITURES OF CERTAIN FUNDS TO ALLOCATE SOURCE OF REVENUE FOR THE SAID FUNDS AND TO PROVIDE THE SEVEN ABILITY AND AN EFFECTIVE THE FIRST READING. BACK YOU MR.. YOU ALL RIGHT.

DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL. MAYOR MAY I ASK FOR A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO THAT MOTION WHICH WOULD BE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE A TO POLLS WITH FROM THE MOTION THE CD AND HABITAT FOR HUMANITY FUNDING TO BE VOTED ON SEPARATELY IS THERE A SECOND TO THAT MOTION SAYING THAT MOTION FAILS? HMM WONDER WHAT HAPPENED TO OTHER DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL? OH YES PLENTY. YES SIR. BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING

[01:15:08]

TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO THE SEPARATELY. NOT PART OF WHAT ACTUALLY.

ABSOLUTELY. LIKE TO DISCUSS EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY.

THAT'S A ABSOLUTELY. WELL, THAT'S WHAT I ASKED HER. WELL, I'M SORRY NEED TO DO THAT BUT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO QUITE QUICKLY I NEED TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE ABLE TO.

NO, I'M SORRY. I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY AND GO THROUGH THEM AND GET GOING TO KNOW SO WE GO DOWN THE LINE. SO AS YOU PRESENTED ON BEACH PARKING ALAMO HOSPITALITY LAND PURCHASE CFP CARRY FORWARD AMERICAN RESCUE STATE FUNDING FOR HABITAT NCC DC SO LET'S GO AHEAD AND START OFF WITH THE BEACH PARKING HEAD AND I THINK FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSION ANY ANY ADJUSTMENTS ELEMENTARY RIGHT CARRY FORWARD ANY DISCUSSIONS THE UNDERSTANDING IS THAT'S THE $700,000 IS THE CONTRACT AND FOR THE CONSULTANTS ARE HELPING THE STAFF WITH THE ALAMO REWRITE AND THAT WILL BE THE FULL PACKAGE NO ADDITIONAL WORK WILL BE REQUIRED SO IF I COULD JUST TAKE A BRIEF OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO THAT AND THEN I'LL HOPEFULLY ANSWER I SOME CITIZEN QUESTIONS THAT WERE RAISED.

THE ROLL FORWARDS THAT ARE THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED ARE ALL FOR SPECIFIC RELATED BUDGETED ITEMS OR PROJECTS. AND SO THOSE ARE TYPICALLY THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY OR ARE NOT COMPLETED WITHIN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME AND THEREFORE WE LOOK TO CARRY THOSE FUNDS OVER FROM ONE BUDGET YEAR TO THE NEXT. TYPICALLY ONCE A PROJECT HAS BEEN COMPLETED IF THERE ARE ANY UNSPENT REMAINING WITHIN THAT BUDGET LINE THEM AT THE END OF THE YEAR THEY WOULD ROLL TO THE TOWNS RESERVE FUND AND IF I COULD JUST IN I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE HEARD A GOOD QUESTION TWO EXAMPLES THE PCI WE ANTICIPATED BEING LIVE WITH THE PCI RATE THE PARKING AT THIS POINT WITH SOME WITH A WITH A REVENUE STREAM YES. AT THIS POINT THAT THAT REMAINS WITH TOWN COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE . THE COMMUNITY SERVICE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH JOSH TO DETERMINE OF RIGHT SO THEY HAVE THE CSP COMMITTEE HAS AGREED TO THE ORDINANCE WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THE RATE WE HAVE BEEN FINDING AS MUCH INFORMATION AS WE CAN ON RATE AND LESSON UNTIL THAT FORWARD AND SO WE ANTICIPATED A POSITIVE REVENUE STREAM THIS FISCAL YEAR BUT SINCE IT'S NOT THERE WE GONE BACK IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET AND MOVED FORWARD ALREADY APPROVED FUNDS DID IT WITH THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE SEAN AND TEAM AC AND TEAM BID OUT THE LAND MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE WE DID NOT RECEIVE LOT OF BIDS THAT PROJECT WAS LAGGING. IT TOOK US ABOUT MORE MONTHS THAN ANTICIPATED TO REALLY GET IT GOING. WE ANTICIPATED BEING A LOT FURTHER ALONG THAN THAT WE WOULD HAVE BURNT THROUGH OR USED MONEY I SHOULD SAY USED THE MONEY IN LAST FISCAL BUDGET BUT WE DIDN'T AND SO AND WE DIDN'T PLAN IN THIS BUDGET ACCORDINGLY WE THOUGHT WE WE WE SPENT IT IN THE LAST FISCAL SO MESSAGE ARE THOSE ARE THOSE TWO PROJECTS AND ONLY THIS ISN'T TYPICAL OF MOVING FORWARD MONEY THIS NATURE BUT THESE TWO PROJECTS ARE TAKING US SOME TIME TO DO IT RIGHT OKAY OBVIOUSLY SPONSORSHIP ANY QUESTIONS DISCUSSION PURCHASE ALLOCATIONS THE IP MAY I ASK THAT WE SCROLL BACK UP SO THAT I CAN SEE IT IN FRONT OF ME AND I HAVE TO RELY ON MY MEMORY SORRY BUT THAT'S GOOD.

THAT'S GOOD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, SO NOW SEE I HAVE TO FORWARD IN ANY QUESTIONS THERE DISCUSSION THAT THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN YES SO UNDER THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN THESE WERE A SET AMOUNT OF DOLLARS WITH A ONE TIME ALLOCATION AND PROJECTS THAT WERE MEANT AS WE WERE BEING DESIGNATED TO WE'RE NOW ADDING MONEYS TO THE HOME SAFE REPAIR PROGRAM AND LATERAL SEWER CONNECTIONS PROGRAM AND WE'RE DOING THAT BECAUSE JUST WAY OF EXPLANATION WE'RE DOING THAT BECAUSE AS THOSE APPLICATIONS FOR ASSISTANCE CAME IN WHEN THEY WERE COMPLETED WITH DOLLARS THAT WE HAD THESE ARE STILL ARPA DOLLARS, RIGHT. BUT WE'RE SHIFTING THEM INTO THESE CATEGORIES BECAUSE WE DISCOVERED THAT THERE'S JUST A HANDFUL OF ONES THAT WOULD BE LEFT ON THE TABLE.

SO IN FAIRNESS, THOSE THAT FULL BODY OF APPLICATIONS WE'RE NOW USING ADDITIONAL DOLLARS FROM

[01:20:05]

THE ORIGINAL ARPA FUNDS TO THAT. OKAY.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S CLEAR EVERYONE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE STILL WITHIN THAT ORIGINAL UNDERSTANDING OF HOW WE WERE USING OUR PERFORMANCE ISN'T THERE IN A BETTER TIMETABLE THAT THAT THEY HAVE TO BE SPENT BY NOW BECAUSE THAT CHANGED SO THIS WAS A REPLACEMENT OF LOST REVENUE IT'S CONSIDERED WITHIN OUR GENERAL FUND BUT IT IS SEPARATE AND APART AND TREAT IT SEPARATELY BECAUSE IT WAS FEDERAL GRANT FUNDING AND THAT ESSENTIALLY REMOVED THAT TIME RESTRICTION YOU REFER TO. YEP.

GOT IT GOT IT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION ON AMERICAN RESCUE AS A GREAT USE OF THOSE FUNDS WITHOUT WITHOUT A PARDON AND I'M NOT QUITE I UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET CLARITY ON THE USE OF THESE FUNDS AND THE APPLICATION OF THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE QUEUE. BUT AS I HEARD SOMETHING THAT COUNCILMEMBER BAKER SAID AS FAR AS A HANDFUL OF APPLICATIONS ARE LEFT BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE NOT STOPPED CENTS IN COMMON AND IT COULD BE ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS THAT COME TO US. CORRECT? JOHN IS A HEAD NOD.

THAT APPLICATION IS STILL UP AND CORRECT? YES.

ALL RIGHT. SO THERE COULD BE FURTHER. YES.

OKAY. THANK YOU. WELL, THAT'S A CURIOUS POSITION TO BE IN BECAUSE WE'RE TAKING APPLICATION FOR MONEYS THAT WE DON'T HAVE AVAILABLE TO HELP SERVICE AND AND SO THAT'S A DIFFERENT DISCUSSION. BUT FOR THIS PURPOSE I'M SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE HAVE BUT WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION AT SOME POINT LATER AS TO WHY WE HAVE ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS COME IN WHEN WE KNOW WE DON'T HAVE MONEY AND TO WHAT WE'RE DOING TONIGHT ANY ADDITIONAL CHANGES TO THE SPENDING PLAN WILL BE BROUGHT BEFORE COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AND DISCUSSION. THANK.

OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION THERE? ALL RIGHT.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. SO I WOULD LIKE TO AGAIN BRING ALL RIGHT.

AND I'M HAPPY TO SEE THAT BRENDA, YOU'RE HERE TONIGHT THAT IT IS MY BELIEF AND I HAVEN'T CORRECTED SINCE I READ IT SO I'M GOING TO STAND BY IT THAT.

WHAT HABITAT HAS THE MOST USE FOR IS LAND AND HAVE AS WE SAW AS WE WENT THROUGH THIS A PIECE AT LEAST A PIECE OF LAND THAT THE TOWN HAS PURCHASED THAT MIGHT BE VERY APPROPRIATE TO ASSIST HABITAT IN PROVIDING THE HOMES UNDER HOME OWNERSHIP THAT THEY DO AND I FULLY SUPPORT THAT IF WE'RE NOT GOING GO IN THAT DIRECTION AND WE ARE INSTEAD GOING TO PROVIDE CASH OR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY TO GO OUT AND FIND LAND AND STAFF TIME WHICH IS INCREDIBLY VALUABLE. WE DON'T HAVE A DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR TO ASSIST IN THAT ENDEAVOR . THERE'S THIS $500,000 DOESN'T REALLY REPRESENT WHAT IS THAT THE TOWN IS OFFERING TO HABITAT AND. I THINK THIS IS AN UNFAIR POSITION TO PUT ANY OF US TO IN UNDER ANYTHING THE RESIDENTS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS THAT WE'RE SPENDING THEIR MONEY ON. I'D ALSO LIKE TO ASK THIS IS UNDER ANY TAX MONEY AND I'M STILL NOT CLEAR I THINK I'VE ASKED THE QUESTION BUT I WILL ADMIT I'M STILL NOT CLEAR HOW WE ARE USING A TAX MONEY FROM LAST YEAR PRIOR TO ACT 57 ON HOUSING IF YOU CAN HELP ME OUT ABSOLUTELY I WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT. SO WHAT ACT 57 DID IS IT MADE IT PERMISSIBLE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO UTILIZE A TAX FUNDS, A CAUSE AND RELATED EXPENDITURE. THE ACT ITSELF IS SILENT TO ANY TIME PERIOD IN WHICH THE FUNDS WERE COLLECTED. IT JUST LISTED AS A PERMISSIBLE EXPENDITURE AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT IF FUNDS AVAILABLE THEY CAN BE SPENT IN FURTHERANCE OF THAT UPON THE ADOPTION OF THE APPROPRIATE PREREQUISITE HOUSING ACTION OR HOUSING STUDY.

THANK YOU. HOW ABOUT HOUSING IMPACT ANALYSIS AND AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND BECAUSE WE'RE ALSO MID BUDGET CYCLE A BUDGET AMENDMENT TO PROVIDE FOR THAT FUNDING AND SO WE HAVE AN ADOPTED AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AS OF YET WE'VE NOT KNOW IT'S I THINK IT WAS ON FOR A YOU JUST DIDN'T SEE YOU HAD SECOND READING TONIGHT SO THE ANALYSIS AND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WAS ALL WRAPPED.

YES. SO I WAS SO FOCUSED ON THE HOUSING ANALYSIS THAT SO WE

[01:25:04]

ADOPTED THAT AS WELL. I DON'T BELIEVE THE HONEST INTENT ACT 57 WAS TO BE SO OPEN BROAD AS TO HAVE NO YEAR DEFINED. I THINK THE ASSUMPTION IS CERTAINLY SHOULD BE IN THE INTENT WAS THAT IT WOULD BE MOVING FORWARD ONCE THE PROCESS HAD BEEN PUT INTO PLACE SO TO LOOK BACK IN MY OPINION IS INAPPROPRIATE.

SO I'M GOING TO STAND BY MY ORIGINAL POSITION THAT. THE BEST WAY TO HELP AN ORGANIZATION THAT WORKS WITH LAND IS TO GIVE THEM OR DISCUSS WITH THEM THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM IF WE ARE GOING TO WHICH IS NOT THESE INTO SEPARATE VOTES IS GOING TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR ME BECAUSE I'M GOING TO VOTE NO IN ALL OF THESE ALL OF THESE AND I AND I DON'T WANT TO BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW THERE ARE MANY THINGS IN HERE THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY THINGS THAT WE SHOULD VOTE ON TO MOVE FORWARD BUT GIVING MYSELF SPACE I WOULD NEVER APPROVE $500,000 I WOULD PROVE MAYBE SOME LESSER AMOUNT BUT I'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE TIME ALLOCATION FROM STAFF AND THE VALUE OF THAT IS SO THAT WE'RE ALL UNDERSTANDING MUCH MONEY WE'RE PUTTING OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY AND NOT JUST ON PAPER THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THAT ENTIRE PICTURE. SO THAT'S THOSE MY COMMENTS AND I'M SAD TO HAVE TO MAKE THEM AND I'M SAD THAT I CAN'T VOTE ON THINGS SEPARATELY AND THIS IS NOT BEST WAY FOR US TO RUN THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT THIS WAY AND THE COMMENTS AC CDC IF YOU CAN LOOK RIGHT AT ME THAT'S PERFECTLY FINE TOO BECAUSE. A LOT OF THE COMMENTS THAT I JUST MADE ALSO FIT RIGHT INTO THAT I DO NOT INTEND SO I WON'T DUPLICATE THOSE COMMENTS.

YOU CAN ADD THOSE TO THE CC TO SEE LIST AS WELL. I THINK WE HAVE SOME OUTSTANDING QUESTIONS. BELIEVE IT WAS BROUGHT UP BY COMMENTS EARLIER.

WHERE ARE WE ON THE LEGAL POSITION FROM THE IRS? I BELIEVE ON THE 5013C SO WHEN TOWN COUNCIL APPROVED ENTERING INTO A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IT CONDITIONED ENTERING INTO THAT OF UNDERSTANDING ON TWO ITEMS WHEN IT ADOPTED IT ONE BEING THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO WHEN I SAY THEY ONE BEING THAT THE COASTAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE DOCUMENTATION THAT THE RECEIPT OF THOSE FUNDS WOULD NOT IMPAIR ELIMINATE THEIR 501C3 TAXABLE STATUS. THE SECOND WAS THAT THAT THE EXECUTION OF THE PROGRAM NOT CAUSE ANY PARTICULAR BUILDING OR COMMUNITY TO LOSE ITS INSURER ABILITY OR ABILITY FOR FINANCE AND I APOLOGIZE DON'T REMEMBER THE SPECIFIC TERMINOLOGY BUT IT WAS REALLY A THANK YOU SO BECAUSE THE BECAUSE THE APPROVAL OF THE MEMORANDUM CONDITIONED UPON BOTH OF THOSE WE'VE INCLUDED THOSE IN THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AS EXPRESSED CONDITIONS AND SO I UNDERSTAND THAT COASTAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION IS WORKING WITH LEGAL TO PREPARE THE DOCUMENTATION TO RESPOND TO THAT AND TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE TOWN THAT BOTH OF THOSE WOULD BE SATISFIED THROUGH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAM. NO SO THEN THE TOWN HILTON HEAD ISLAND ITSELF HAS NOT TAKEN THE INITIATIVE TO REQUEST A LEGAL DETERMINATION FROM THE IRS OR FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR FOR I DON'T WHOEVER YOU MIGHT ASK WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT WE'VE MADE THAT A CONDITION OF THE MEMO YOU THAT IN ORDER FOR US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION THEY HAVE TO PROVIDE US SUFFICIENT DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THAT THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH BY COUNSEL HAVE BEEN MET AND. SO WE'RE VOTING TO APPROVE MONEYS FOR A AND A MENU THAT WE DON'T KNOW IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE DOES NOT SEEM OUT OF PLACE TO ANYONE MAY COMMENT ON THAT. MR. AFRICAN COMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE 523 QUESTION MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE CONCERN AROSE ON THE DIAS AT THE TIME THERE WAS A REQUEST TO AMEND THE MEMO TO PERMIT PREFERENTIAL LOAN GRANTS. SO I HAVE DISCUSSED WITH SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE CTC LEADERSHIP NUMBER ONE THEY ALREADY HAVE A501C3 DETERMINATION FROM THE IRS NUMBER. THERE ARE NO AT THE PRESENT

[01:30:01]

TIME THERE ARE NO PREFERENTIAL LOANS I.E. LOANS GOING TO SOMEBODY WHO'S RELATED TO THE INSIDERS TO THEIR LEADERSHIP THERE ARE NOT HAVE BEEN MADE AND NUMBER ONE THEY HAVE THEIR 501C3 SO THE STANCE OF OF THE ISSUE IS WILL THEY ENGAGE AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE AND MAKING A LOAN TO SOMEBODY THEY SHOULDN'T MAKE DO THEY ARE QUITE AWARE OF THE ISSUE HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE LEADERSHIP OF AC DC THAT THEY WOULD HAVE CONSULTED THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL AND IF A OPPORTUNITY FOR A PREFERENTIAL LOAN THAT MIGHT SKIRT ON THE QUESTION OF MAKING IT TO SOMEBODY WHO IS AN INSIDER THEY WILL CHECK WITH THEIR LEGAL COUNSEL BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS SO WE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM OF ANY KIND RIGHT.

AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT UNDER THE MEMO YOU IF THEY DESIRE TO MAKE A PREFERENTIAL LOAN THE TOWN HAS TO PARTICIPATE IN APPROVING THAT. IS THAT CORRECT? SO THIS IS A AT BEST A POTENTIAL FUTURE PROBLEM. IT IS NOT A MATTER OF CONCERN RIGHT NOW AND WE WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN THAT THERE WILL BE VIOLATION OF GRANTING PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT THAT WOULD IMPACT FIVE OF THE 133 STATUS. SIR WELL I UNDERSTAND YOUR COMMENTS, STEVE, AND I APPRECIATE THEM AND RESPECT THEM THE. YEAH, THE ISSUE ISN'T THIS ISSUE ACTUALLY IS PROVIDING TAX DOLLARS AND HOW YOU SLICE THE TAX DOLLARS AS AN OPPORTUNITY AND THEN COUNTING A REPORT A IN A COMCAST MOTION AN AGREEMENT AFTER THE FACT THAT IS LITERALLY PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE IS SO AND AND AND I HUMBLY AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT THE TOWN DO THE TOWN'S JOB OF ENSURING THAT WE ARE SPENDING TAXPAYER MONEY AND REQUEST THAT LEGAL ANALYSIS OF WHERE IT STANDS FIRST OF ALL THE THOSE ONE TO WOMAN ONES SHOULD NEVER BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE MEMO YET THEY JUST SHOULD NOT THAT IS IT IS SELECTING WINNERS OVER LOSERS AND PUTTING EVERYBODY IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PART OF THE INTERVIEW. THE FACT THAT IT WAS INSISTED THAT IT BE INCLUDED IN THE MEMO IT TELLS ME FAR MORE THAN THAN WE NEED TO KNOW.

AND SO THIS IS A PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ROLLED OUT. IT'S NOT READY.

I HAVE QUITE A OTHER POINTS TO MAKE IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO PULL IT OUT I'LL GO AHEAD AND MAKE THEM. BUT I THINK BASED ON THAT REASON ALONE WE CANNOT SIT HERE AS A BODY FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBLE BODY TO ALL OF THESE FOLKS IN THIS ON THIS ISLAND AND PUT THIS IN PLACE UNTIL THE ICE FORGOT THAT ALL THE T'S ACROSS ALL THE ANSWERS BEFORE US WE CAN TRUTHFULLY HONESTLY LOOK AT EACH ONE OF THEM AND RAISE OUR HAND TO VOTE FOR THIS SO LET ME KNOW FOR PULLING IT OUT. IF WE'RE NOT I'LL GO ON FOR SO THAT I'M ON THE RECORD WHEN THIS ALL COMES BACK AND THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD, I'M ON THE RECORD AS HAVING MADE PERFECTLY CLEAR THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE AND SO I MEAN NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT. I THINK THAT THE COUNCIL HAS SPOKEN AND IN NOT SEPARATING IT OUT SO IT IS PART OF THE ENTIRE PACKAGE AND BY VOTE BY MAYOR ALL RIGHT OUR LEADER I WOULD REALLY LIKE OUR MAYOR TO MAKE A STANCE ON THIS SO I DO NOT DISAGREE WITH YOU THAT IT TO BE FULLY VETTED AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FULLY VETTED AND WE SHOULD HAVE HAD THAT INFORMATION FROM A LEGAL REVIEW TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE PROPER DECISION WHY WE DID NOT I CANNOT THAT QUESTION AND I HAVE TWO POINTS ON THE AGENDA. YEAH.

MR.. WHAT CAN I ASK MR. GRUBER TO ANSWER A QUESTION FOR US THAT WE CONSTRUCTED IN WILL YOU HAVE A DRAW DOWN VERBIAGE AS FAR AS THE MONEYS BEING ALLOCATED TO? IT IT DOES AND THAT WAS A CONDITION OF COUNCIL THAT WAS INCLUDED AS.

WELL, THE COMMENT THAT I WOULD MAKE IS THE ACTION THAT WAS TAKEN BY COUNCIL WAS TO APPROVE ENTERING INTO A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING SO LONG AS DOING SO DID NOT IMPACT THE ORGANIZATION'S OH ONE C3 STATUS. AND SO WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT AS IT GOES FORWARD THAT THAT IS SATISFIED AS A CONDITION OF THE AGREEMENT BASED UPON THE EXPRESS CONDITION SET FORTH BY COUNCIL. SIMILARLY THE IMPACT COMMUNITIES AND THE ENSURE ABILITY TO FINANCE ABILITY STATUS THOSE ARE BOTH INCLUDED

[01:35:01]

AS EXPRESS CONDITIONS OF THE MEMORANDUM BASED UPON THE INSTRUCTIONS RECEIVED FROM TOWN COUNCIL. MR. MAYOR, I CALL THE QUESTION AND ANSWER WELL I THINK THAT'S AN UNFAIR POSITION TO TO TO TAKE. COUNCILWOMAN GRAYSON, AS WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A DISCUSSION KNOW YOU'VE MADE UP YOUR MIND AND YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO TO OTHER DEBATE POINTS BUT THERE LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO I'M RESPONSIBLE TO.

IN FACT I'LL SAY AT THIS POINT CLOSE TO 40,000 BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THERE'S A RESIDENT ON THIS ISLAND WHO IS GOING TO BE SATISFIED WITH US FOR CALLING THE QUESTION WITHOUT A DEBATE.

MR. MAYOR, I'LL JUST POINT OF ORDER. WE TAKING UP AN ITEM ON OUR AGENDA THAT RELATES TO A BUDGET AGREEMENT THAT THE HIM YOU THAT WAS WITH ME.

YES, THAT'S CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT. IT IS IT IS THE FUNDING OF THAT SO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I DID HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHERS LEGAL AS MR. ALFORD DID IN REGARDS TO THE QUESTIONS THAT MR. RUNDLE HAD BROUGHT FORWARD AT ONE OF THE PREVIOUS MEETINGS AND HE WAS REFERRING TO IT IN PART BECAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LEGALITIES OF IT BUT THERE IS TWO DIFFERENT ASPECTS WHERE HAVE LOOKED AT WHERE IT IS NOT PROVIDING FAVORITISM OR ANY UNDUE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS TO A PRIVATE SECTOR.

SO IN THEORETICALLY ALL NONPROFITS HAVE TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND TO THE END TO THEIR MEMBERS. SO IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME. I FOR A COPY OF THE DOCUMENTATION. I DID NOT RECEIVE IT. I WAS SATISFIED WITH THE EXPLANATION I WAS GIVEN. NOW WITH THAT SAID, I STAND ON MY GROUND THAT I HAVE AN ISSUE OF GIVING THE CDPQ $600,000 FOR 20% OF A DOWN PAYMENT ON A PROPERTY AND THAT HAS NOT CHANGED AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE FUNDS GO FURTHER. AGAIN, MR. BROWN TO YOUR POINT THAT GOES BACK TO THE IMO YOU NOT TO THE CONVERSATION OF THE FUND AT HAND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE I I HERE'S WHAT I THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I THINK IT'S GOING TO PASS AND BUT I WANT TO MAKE THAT WE DO AN EXCEPTIONAL IN MONITORING AND ANALYZE IT OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. THAT'S A MISTAKE AND I SO BECAUSE I KNOW YOU MISSED MY FIRST COMMENT I HEARD EVERYTHING YOU SAID AND I RESPECT YOU TREMENDOUSLY AND HONESTLY I WANT YOU TO BE THE VERY BEST MAYOR WE'VE EVER HAD. QUITE HONESTLY THAT IS MY GOAL AND I'M GOING TO HELP YOU BY SAYING WHAT I DID THAT WE INAPPROPRIATELY PROVIDING MONEY TO AN ORGANIZATION WHOSE AFFILIATED AGENCY QUITE HONESTLY ISN'T IN QUESTION AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE WE HAVE AN AFFILIATED AGENCY PROCESS WHICH REQUIRES AND I KNOW WE'VE HAD THIS DEBATE THAT IT'S A SUGGESTION BUT HONESTLY THERE IS A THAT REQUIRES THAT YOU SUBMIT TWO YEARS OF FINANCIAL TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE AFFILIATED AGENCY AND BE VETTED AND AND THIS AGENCY CANNOT PROVIDE THOSE AND I JUST WOULD LIKE TO REFER BACK TO WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE OTHER MEMBERS WITHIN THE ADMITTED HERE TONIGHT DO NOT ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THAT BECAUSE THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION MEETING WHEN WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE FULL PACKET OF AFFILIATED AGENCY GRID APPLICATION STATIONS AND ALLOTMENT OF MONEYS ONE DID NOT GET FUNDING BECAUSE THEY DO NOT THEY WERE A START UP JUST LIKE KD SAY AND THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY TRACK RECORD TO BE ABLE TO SATISFY THAT REQUIREMENT OF THE AFFILIATED AGENCY PROGRAM AND THAT WAS STATED ON THE RECORD BY CHAIR NOT BY THE CHAIR EXCUSE ME. I DIDN'T MEAN THAT ALEX BY ONE OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF THE FINANCE ADMINISTRATIVE MEETING. SO IF IT'S GOOD FOR ONE IT'S GOT TO BE GOOD FOR THE OTHER.

SO IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO HEAR HOW THAT VOTE. I WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING ELSE IF TOWN HASN'T DONE WHAT I BELIEVE THE TOWN SHOULD HAVE DONE INSTEAD OF JUST ASKING ALL OF OUR ATTORNEY FRIENDS AND COMING TO CONCLUSIONS OURSELVES BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ATTORNEYS NOR CPAS. SOME OF IT WELL THAT'S TRUE. WE DO HAVE THREE ATTORNEYS I WILL BITE MY TONGUE AND COLLEGE EYES TO THEM ON THAT. I DO.

BUT HAVE WE NOTIFIED HAVE WE DONE THE PROPER NOTIFICATION AND TRANSPARENCY TO THE STATED AND I BELIEVE THERE'S OTHERS BUT THE STATED COMMUNITIES THAT GOING TO BE DIRECTLY TARGETED BY THE CCD SO THAT ALL OF THE HIGHWAYS AND THE RESIDENTS IN THOSE COMMUNITIES FULLY AWARE OF WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS WITH REGARD TO THE PURCHASING OF HOMES AND

[01:40:04]

HOW MANY PEOPLE MIGHT BE LIVING IN THOSE HOMES, THE NUMBER OF CARS THEY MIGHT BE HAVE WITH THEM. THE FACT THAT THERE'S A 99 YEAR COVENANT THAT RESTRICTS SO MANY THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN WHEN THEY OWN A HOME HOW WE'VE NOTIFIED HAVE WE DONE THE RIGHT JOB? HAVE WE NOTIFIED MINIMAL THOSE COMMUNITIES WHAT WE SHOULD DO NOTIFY THE ENTIRE TOWN TO AN END THROUGH A PROCESS TO OUR COMMUNICATION AND MARKETING DIRECTOR WHO'S WHO POSTINGS EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT ALL SPEND TIME READING AND WERE INFORMED ABOUT. HAVE WE TAKEN THAT AS A STEP TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR COMMUNITIES BECAUSE? I'VE HEARD LOTS OF CONVERSATION SOME COMMUNITIES IN FACT PROMISED LOOK YOUR COMMUNITY IS ONLY GOING TO HAVE SO MANY AND WE WILL PROMISE YOU THAT THEY WILL BE IN A FAMILY OF 8224. OKAY FOR THAT COMMUNITY.

THEY CAN SIT BACK AND THEY CAN KIND OF SEE THAT AND SEE IT SAID.

DOES THAT MEAN THEN THAT THOSE LOWER MY IF NECESSARY HOUSING PURCHASE OR RENTAL OR CAN BE DISTRIBUTED IN OTHER COMMUNITIES HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND WHAT ABOUT THAT THIS THIS JUST DOES NOT HAVE THE DETAIL THAT IT TO BE IMPLEMENTED SO THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE EVERYONE HAS MADE A DECISION WE'VE HAD TO MAKE COMMUNITIES WANT TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY NO AND THEY SHOULD AS WELL AS THESE HAVE COMMUNITIES SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE NOTICED HAVE A DISCUSSION AND TO SAY NO NOT MY COMMUNITY THAT'S NOT EXACTLY HOW WE WANT OUR HRA OR NEIGHBORHOOD TO WORK. SPEAKER WITH ALL DUE RESPECT I THINK WE UNDERSTAND UNEQUIVOCALLY YOUR POSITION AND YOU'VE STATED IT VERY VERY ELOQUENTLY I WOULD LIKE TO CALL QUESTION AT THIS TIME AND MR. AMES I'M BEING THE PERSON VOTED NO AN ATTORNEY I'D ASK FOR A RULING ON THE QUESTION HAVING BEEN CALLED TWICE NOW I NEED TO BE ON THE RECORD FOR THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE AND EVERYONE WHO LISTENS OR KNOWS ABOUT NEEDS TO KNOW WHERE I STAND AND THE REASONS WHY I STAND WHERE I STAND MAKE WHATEVER DECISION WHAT YOU WANT ALL FOR A VOTE. QUESTION HAS BEEN CALLED THAT IS QUESTION HAS BEEN CALLED FOR A VOTE. TONY PARDON THAT QUESTION HAS BEEN CALLED FOR THE THIS BACKGROUND BUT WHEN THE RULES ARE THE RULES THEY DON'T SET THE RULES ARE THE RULES THEN THE AFFILIATED AGENCY ISN'T BEING MET WE DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION THE VOTE WE CALL FOR THE VOTE HAS BEEN BUT WE'VE GOT TO FOLLOW ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF POLICING FOR YES PLEASE SIGNIFY BY RAISING YOUR RIGHT HAND ALL THOSE OPPOSED SIGNAL I THINK WE SHOULD NEVER WALK VOTE IF WE CAN PLACE WHERE WE HAVE HERE YES BETTER DO HER PARTY HERE DON'T GET HER THE CALL AND THE VOTE HAS BEEN MADE THE CALL IS THEN MADE WE NEED TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM MAY OR MAY ASK FOR A ROLL VOTE ON THAT ONE SO THAT EVERYONE IS ON THE RECORD.
