          THANK YOU. SO WITH THAT IN MIND I HAVE FOR CURRENT MEMBERS PUBLIC MEMBERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS COUNCIL I ASK THAT YOU COME IN TO THE PODIUM UP FRONT AND THAT'S GLORIA OWENS AND IT'S REGARDING GREENSPACE. HELLO THERE. 
          ACTUALLY HAVEN'T PLANNED ANYTHING. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I LIVE IN ROSE HILL AND I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RUN TRACK WHICH IS PART OF THIS GREEN 
          [00:05:04]
SPACE INITIATIVE THAT I KNOW IS PART OF THE AGENDA. AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MOST CONCERNS US THE POTENTIAL ROAD THAT WOULD GO ALONG MOST OF ROSE HILLS WEST SIDE IN A VERY LIMITED SPACE BETWEEN OUR BOUNDARY AND WETLANDS AND THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT NOISE POLLUTION OF WATER QUALITY AS WELL AS WILDLIFE BACK THERE IF YOU LOOK AT A GOOGLE MAP OF BLUFFTON IT'S ONE OF THE LAST BIG TRACTS OF WOODS IN BLUFFTON. 
          AND WHILE IT'S AMAZING IF GREEN SPACE WOULD SAVE THAT SPACE TO PUT A PAVED ROAD THROUGH, IT KIND OF FLIES THE FACE OF GREEN SPACE. I WOULD MUCH SEE A GRAVEL ROAD OPPORTUNITY FOR SCHOOLS TO USE THAT FOR EDUCATION ABOUT WETLANDS MAYBE A BIKE PATH SOMETHING THAT WOULD ALLOW THE PUBLIC TO ENJOY THAT FOR GENERATIONS TO COME RATHER SIMPLY MORE DEVELOPMENT. SO THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SHARE TODAY. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS OWENS. NOW I HAVE MIKE HAGAN. 
          I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL FOR TAKING THEIR TIME TO HEAR WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY. AND THE MEMBERS OF THE GREEN SPACE COMMITTEE FOR WORKING ON PRESERVING OUR ENVIRONMENT. CHATTANOOGA'S AGENDA INCLUDES A TO BEGIN DUE PROCESS ON PROPERTY BY FIELD HILLS CONSERVANCY. IT'S PART OF THE BUCKWALTER NEEDS BE CALLED WILLOW RUN. I WOULD ASK THAT THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND THE COUNCIL MEMBERS VIEW THIS APPLICATION WITH GREAT SKEPTICISM THE TOWN IN A STRATEGIC PLANNING SESSION IN OCTOBER OF 24 ANNOUNCED THEY PLANNED TO BUY 80 FOOT WIDE EASEMENT THROUGH THAT PROPERTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF BUILDING A CONNECTOR ROAD BETWEEN 278 AND THE PROPOSED FIVE B THE ROAD THAT JUST WON'T DIE. THE PLAN IS TO SELL THE LAND TO GREENSPACE SUBJECT TO THAT EASEMENT A MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY IS WETLANDS. IN FACT THE PROPOSED ROADWAY WOULD CONSUME A MAJORITY OF THE HIGH GROUND. SUCH A ROADWAY WOULD NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY CONSERVATION PURPOSE AND WILL ONLY SERVE TO FURTHER THE DEVELOPMENT GOALS OF THE TOWN. IT'S THAT THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH DRY GROUND LEFT TO EVEN CALL IT A PASSION PARK. LOOK AT THE MANY LOCAL ROADS WE HAVE AROUND HERE AND SEE HOW THE WETLANDS ADJACENT TO THOSE ROADS ARE FILLED WITH TRASH. TRASH IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE GET TO BECAUSE OF THE WETLANDS IN EFFECT BLUFFTON WANTS TO PUT A SUPERHIGHWAY THROUGH A PROPOSED CONSERVATION TO ALLOW FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AT COUNTY TAXPAYERS EXPENSE. 
          IT'S A DIFFICULT DECISION BUT ANY AGREEMENT TO USE GREENSPACE FUNDS TO BUY THAT PROPERTY SUBJECT TO WHAT 80 FOOT ROAD EASEMENT SIMPLY FACILITATES THE TOWN'S OBJECTIVES AND DENIGRATES THE GOALS OF THE GREENSPACE INITIATIVE WHICH PEOPLE IN COUNTY OVERWHELMINGLY APPROVED. LASTLY, IMAGINE GOING TO AN ICE CREAM SHOP WITH THE TOWN. 
          THEY ORDER A HOT FUDGE SUNDAE AND PROCEED TO CONSUME THE WHIPPED CREAM THE CHERRY, THE HOT AND THE ICE CREAM. THEY THEN HANDS YOU THE EMPTY BOWL AND ASK YOU TO COVER THE BILL. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. 
          THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR. HAGAN. NEXT PERSON IS TONY LA 19 LA MACHADO. YOU'RE THERE LA MARTINA LA MARTINEZ GIULIANO. 
          OH, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT NAME. THANK YOU FOR. YES, FOR FOR ATTENTION AND TO THESE COMMENTS THESE PROPERTIES AS YOU'VE HEARD INCLUDES WETLANDS AND YOU HAVE WILDLIFE. 
          THE GREATEST BENEFIT TO THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THIS AREA WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT MOVING TO THIS AREA IS THE WILDLIFE, THE SEA, THE BIRDS, THE DIFFERENT WE HAVE FOX, WE HAVE JUST A MULTITUDE OF OF WILDLIFE THAT IS JUST SO IMPORTANT TO THIS AREA THE WETLANDS THEMSELVES 
          [00:10:04]
FOR THIS COUNTY IS ALREADY WELL OVER 20% PERVIOUS TO IMPERVIOUS SURFACES YOU CAN'T GET MAY RIVERS ALREADY SHUT DOWN CRUSTACEAN FISHING. THE THINGS ARE IN THE OTHER RIVERS SUCH AS YOU KNOW THEY CALL IN ETC.. FISH SPECIES ARE BEING SHUT DOWN, CONTROLLED MORE TIGHTLY. THAT IMPACTS THE ENVIRONMENT, IMPACTS THE ECOLOGY. 
          NOW AS TO WHERE THE WATER GOES, EVERY EVERY LAND PURCHASED INVOLVES DRAINAGE PLAN. 
          THAT DRAINAGE PLAN GIVEN THE HIGH GROUND, THE HIGH GROUND INCLUDED THAT WATER HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE. IT'S GOING TO CAUSE RUNOFF INTO THE ADJACENT COMMUNITIES WHICH MEANS ROSEHILL IF IT'S TAPPED INTO THE ROSEHILL SYSTEM IT COULD VERY WELL CAUSE ROSEHILL EXTENSIVE EXPENSIVE UPGRADES TO THEIR DRAINAGE SYSTEM. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE TO BEAR AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD APPROVE OF . 
          THE NORTH SOUTH CONNECTOR IF IT'S BUILT EITHER BY THE SCHOOL THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON WILL HAVE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL EXACERBATE THE SITUATION, CREATING ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC, ADDITIONAL CONGESTION AND SAFETY ISSUES. IF YOU HAPPEN TO PASS SCHOOL ZONES YOU SEE THE LONG LINES OF PARENTS PICKING UP AND DROPPING OFF KIDS. 
          THAT SPILLS OVER INTO THE TRAFFIC BUT ON THE MAJOR ROADWAYS THAT'S NOT GOOD. 
          IT'S NOT SAFE AND IT SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO SITUATE AND FAVORS NO ONE AND CREATES ISSUES THAT CAN BE AVERTED BY BUILDING SCHOOLS IN AREAS WITH AMPLE SPACE FOR THEIR OWN DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES IN THEIR OWN SCHOOL USE. IT'S AS FAR AS THE OVERALL THING GOES FOR THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON. THEY'RE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT BENEFIT FROM THIS CONTENT. HAVE 30 SECONDS IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE. 
          OKAY. IT JUST IT JUST IS A MATTER THAT THE TOWN IS PUSHING FOR THAT STATE THAT. IT'S NOT IT'S FOR THEIR DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES. 
          THEY PRODUCED THE PAPERS SEVERAL YEARS SEVERAL YEARS AGO THAT HAD NINE POINTS OF WHY THEY WANTED TO DO IT. SIX OF THE NINE HAD TO DO WITH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL TAX REVENUE EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE SAID STATE CONSISTING OH IT'S NOT ABOUT THAT BUT IT IS. 
          THANK YOU. AND THE LAST PERSON ON THE LIST IS JUST COMING UP JOE MACK. 
          GOOD EVENING. HAPPY 12 DAYS INTO THE NEW YEAR. 
          JOE MACK OF BEAUFORT RESIDENT. THESE COMMENTS ARE ABOUT A PIECE OF PROPERTY MR. DAWSON'S DISTRICT. I VISITED THE PROPERTY ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO AND IT WAS BY CHANCE IT DIDN'T KNOW I GOING TO BE SPEAKING ABOUT THIS EIGHT YEARS LATER THE THE PROPERTY'S MCPHERSON HILL ROAD I THINK IT'S KNOWN AS BUCKFIELD BUCKFIELD. 
          SO I HAD DECIDED TO GO TO HAMPTON ON A BICYCLE TO SEE SOMEONE I DIDN'T WANT TO BURN UP THE CAR WITH THE GAS SO I HAD MAPPED IT OUT AND I TOOK A RIDE ON MCPHERSON MILL ROAD FROM 17 AND ACROSS FROM A CHURCH AND WHEN I GOT TO THE FOOT OF THE ROAD IT NEVER CROSSED MY MIND THAT IT MIGHT BE A DIRT ROAD. SO IT WAS A DIRT ROAD. 
          SO I BIKED THROUGH THIS PROPERTY AND HAD SOME SKINNY TIRES. 
          IT WAS IT WAS BIKEABLE AND THAT WAS WHAT CALL THE WOODS. SO IT'S ONE OF THE MORE MEMORABLE RIDES THAT WAS OFF ROAD. I HAD FOUR OR FIVE OF VERY MEMORABLE BIKE RIDES THROUGHOUT BEAUFORT COUNTY. I EVEN PASSED A PICKUP TRUCK GOING THE OTHER WAY WHICH WAS A TOTAL BECAUSE THIS WAS OUT IN THE COUNTRY BUT THE I MADE IT HAPPEN. I CAME BACK AND THEN I DECIDED FOR THE HECK OF IT I WOULD MEASURE IT AND IT WAS TWO MILES THE DIRT ROAD AND SO WHEN I WAS GOING NORTH TO I LEFT OUT A PART SO WHEN I CAME OUT I CAME OUT INTO A NEIGHBORHOOD WHICH WAS ANOTHER SHOCKER. 
          IT WAS COMPLETE PEACE AND QUIET AND THAT'S WHAT ALL THESE RIDES HAVE IN COMMON. 
          BUT SOME TIME WENT BY AND SOMEBODY TOLD ME HEY GOT FENCED OFF FROM 17 AXIS WHEN YOU TURN TO GO NORTH. DON'T KNOW HOW IT IS TODAY. I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT THAT LAND. IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD PURCHASE TO ME. 
          THEN I RODE IT ONE OTHER TIME BECAUSE SEE WHEN I CAME BACK FROM HAMPTON I DIDN'T IT ALL 
          [00:15:03]
THE WAY TO VIEW FOR MONEY STARTED ACTING UP AND SO THEN I HAD HITCHED I FINALLY HITCHED A RIDE TO THE WHALE RANCH RIVER AT TEN MILES TO GO. I END UP BIKING ABOUT 80 MILES THAT DAY. IT WAS OCTOBER THE FIRST TIME AND THEN THERE'S 32ND GO. 
          I WANTED TO MAKE THERE AND BACK ON A BICYCLE SO I JUST MADE A SECOND ATTEMPT. 
          I WAS TRYING TO HITCH A RIDE AND SHELTER AND CONFINEMENT. I FINALLY HITCHED A RIDE. 
          GOD WAS GETTING OFF WORK AT SCHOOL SO. I TOOK A SECOND ATTEMPT IN AUGUST. IT WAS HIGHER THAN DIDN'T MAKE IT ANY MAKE IT OUT OF UMC THEN I DID IT. SO WHEN I DID THAT ONE I RODE THAT DIRT ROAD AGAIN AND THE THIRD TIME I DID IT YOU THOUGHT I DID IT AROUND EASTER AND I WENT A DIFFERENT WAY BUT IT WAS IT WAS 48 MILES ONE WAY WITH THE DIRT ROAD AND THEN YOU GO ANOTHER WAY. 
          I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE LONGER BUT IT WAS SHORT IT WAS 43 MILES. 
          SO THAT PROPERTY I WAS JUST IN THAT YOU ALL DISSECT ALL THIS STUFF SOMEBODY KNOWS ABOUT FENCE I'M SURE MR. DAWSON'S DISTRICT HE PROBABLY KNOWS IT BETTER THAN ANYBODY BUT I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ACCESS THE TUNNEL. YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT ALL THESE TREE CANOPY THE LAST POINT THAT WE TALK ABOUT ALL THESE TREE. 
          WHEN I WROTE IT ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO IT YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE THE SKY. 
          IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. SO IT LOOKED GOOD. BURGESS THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          [7. ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT]
THANK YOU, SIR. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THE AGENDA AND OUR NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT MR. AKERSON. 
          GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. SO IN THIS PDF COMES UP. PLEASE DO NOT BE SHOCKED AT THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT'S ON IT. IT'S REALLY NOT AS BAD AS IT APPEARS AT FIRST GLANCE. DOES HAVE A PHYSICAL COPY THAT'S ON THE DAIS OF THE SPREADSHEET IF YOU DON'T I HAVE A FEW EXTRAS. SO THE COURSE OF 2024 STAFF HAS MADE AN EFFORT TO BRING DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS FORWARD AND SHARE DETAILS THE DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL COMPONENTS WITHIN BUILDING CODES OUR FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENT CRC EFFORTS. 
          PLANNING AND ZONING HAS BEEN BEFORE YOU AND. WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT CODE ENFORCEMENT. SO WHAT I WANT TO DO SINCE WE JUST OUT OF 2024 AND WE'RE AT THE BEGINNING OF A NEW YEAR IS I WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE VOLUME AND GIVE YOU INFORMATION THE REASON THIS IS SO CUMBERSOME. WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE FAR LEFT COLUMN AND, THE FAR RIGHT COLUMN, EVERYTHING IN THE MIDDLE IS BY MONTH. 
          SO THE TOTALS ARE ON THE RIGHT . THE BUCKETS ARE LISTED ON THE LEFT. AND THEN IF YOU LOOK ACROSS THE TOP EVERY MONTH OF THE YEAR. 
          AND THE REASON WE PROVIDE IT THIS IS WE CAN SEE TRENDS AND WE CAN SEE THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE WORKLOAD THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. SO THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE THAT YOU'RE A MAJOR IS FOR THE BUILDING CODES DEPARTMENT THAT'S OUR BUILDING SERVICES DEPARTMENT. SO I'M GOING TO GO DOWN THE LEFT HAND SIDE AND THEN I'M GOING TO READ THE TOTALS THAT ARE ON THE RIGHT FOR CALENDAR 2020 FOR MISCELLANEOUS COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL PERMITS SOLD WERE 4389. THIS IS UNINCORPORATED BEAUFORT COUNTY ONLY. TOTAL PERMIT FEES COLLECTED ON THOSE PERMITS IS $1.735 MILLION AND WE ADDED ALMOST A HALF A BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF VALUE TO THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT. 
          THAT'S THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION VALUATION. THAT'S THE THIRD THIRD ITEM LIST AND THAT'S WHAT THE VALUATION EXCLUDING MOBILE HOMES, NEW CONSTRUCTION TO BREAK IT APART FURTHER. WE SOLD TEN NEW COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION PERMITS. 
          WE HAD 190 OTHER COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION PERMITS THAT WOULD BE RENOVATIONS, ADDITIONS, THINGS LIKE THAT. NEW CONSTRUCTION, NEW BUILDS, NEW BUILDINGS, NEW RESIDENTIAL WHICH WOULD BE NEW HOMES 485 WERE ADDED THIS YEAR. OTHER RESIDENTIAL WHICH WOULD MAKE UP ADDITIONS, RENOVATIONS, THINGS OF THAT NATURE IS 2614 MOBILE HOME REGISTRATIONS WE REGISTERED 374 MOBILE HOMES. ABOUT 60% OF THOSE ARE REPLACEMENTS. 
          40% ARE NEW. SO IF YOU WANT TO DO THE MATH ON THAT THE REASON THE FEE COLLECTED IS SO SMALL IS BECAUSE STATE LAW LIMITS US TO $5 PER REGISTRATION. 
          THAT'S THE MOST WE CAN COLLECT FOR EACH REGISTRATION. SO THAT'S WHY IT SAYS $5 EACH ON THERE ARE MISCELLANEOUS PERMITS IS OUR MECHANICAL PERMITS THAT'S AC ELECTRICAL ETC.. WE SOLD ALMOST 1100 OF THEM TOTAL REVIEWS JUST FOR BUILDING PERMITS 1069 FISCAL PLAN REVIEWS WERE COMPLETED. THAT'S 98 COMMERCIAL AND 971 
          [00:20:06]
RESIDENTIAL AND THEN FOR INSPECTIONS WE COMPLETED 16,350 INDIVIDUAL INSPECTIONS THAT INCLUDED 12,805 SITE VISITS OR WHAT WE CALL STOPS AND THE MILES WAS JUST SHY OF 100,000 MILES. WE HAVE SIX FULL TIME INSPECTORS IN THE BUILDING CODES DEPARTMENT AND THEN WE HAVE OUR DEPUTY WHO ALSO SERVES AS OUR FIRE MARSHAL WHO DOES SOME HIGH LEVEL INSPECTIONS AND OUR BUILDING OFFICIAL ALSO PARTICIPATES IN THAT. 
          SO I HOPE YOU FIND THAT USEFUL . I MEAN YOU CAN YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'RE VERY BUSY ACROSS THE BOARD AND WE'VE WE'VE MAINTAINED ABOUT THESE SAME LEVELS FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS COVERED WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING SLOW DOWN AND IT ACTUALLY SPED UP THROUGH COVID. SO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR CHART SHOWS ARE DOING WELL. THANK YOU CHAIRMAN. DO YOU DRILL DOWN BETWEEN INC. 
          AND UNINCORPORATED? IT'S JUST UNINCORPORATED. SO JUST THIS IS JUST IN CORPORATE UNINCORPORATED. THANK YOU. SO IF YOU WERE TO ASK HILTON HEAD TOWN OF BLUFFTON FOR THEIR REPORTS, THEY WOULD HAVE A REPORT TO THIS TO SHOW WHAT THEY DO INSIDE THEIR MUNICIPAL . THIS IS INCREDIBLE. 
          IT IS INCREDIBLE. THANK YOU. IT'S BUSY EVERY DAY AND SOMETHING I WANT TO POINT OUT ABOUT THOSE INSPECTIONS. WE WE GET ASKED ABOUT OUR BACKLOG. WE DON'T HAVE BACKLOG. IF YOU CALL FOR AN INSPECTION TODAY, WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO COMPLETE THAT INSPECTION LIST. THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY. 
          THE ONLY TIME THAT WE DO NOT IS IF SOMEONE GOES HOME SICK OR IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF AN ACCIDENT AND THEY CAN'T FINISH THEIR DAY OR. INCLEMENT WEATHER THAT'S THOSE ARE REALLY THE ONLY REASONS WHY WE DON'T GET THE INSPECTIONS DONE THAT ARE REQUESTED TODAY DONE FOLLOWING BUSINESS DAY. SO WE DON'T HAVE A WE DON'T HAVE BACKLOG ON INSPECTIONS SO AND I DO PLAN ON HAVING THE BUILDING CODES DEPARTMENT COME IN AND TALK ABOUT THEIR INTERNAL PROCESS WHAT THEY LOOK FOR AND PLAN REVIEWS AND WHAT SOME OF OUR CHALLENGES ARE UNDER THE STATEWIDE CODE AND SO FORTH. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS RELATED TO THIS SLIDE BEFORE I GO TO JUST ONE MORE? SURE. 
          WITH ALL THESE INSPECTORS OUT THERE AND THE AMOUNT THAT YOU DO WE WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD, WE'RE CREATING A MASTER DRAINAGE PLAN. 
          RIGHT. ALL THINGS ARE CONNECTED ALL OF THESE OR WE DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TEAM UP AND AS WE INSPECT THESE PROPERTIES WE SEE HOW THE DRAINAGE GOES. 
          CAN WE HELP OUR STORMWATER IN ANY WAY BEING OUT THERE AS MUCH AS WE ARE I MEAN DOES IT MAKE SENSE WRITE YOU WANT TO SAY SO THIS IS JUST FOR THE STRUCTURES YEAH THIS IS NOT THIS DOESN'T INCLUDE SITE INSPECTIONS DONE BY STORMWATER WHICH THEY ALSO DO SOME ZONING INSPECTIONS WHICH THAT'S THAT'S A SEPARATE ITEM BUT THERE IS A BIT OF BUT WE COMMUNICATE BACK AND FORTH AS IT RELATES TO FLOOD AND OF STORMWATER DOES THE SAME THING BUT WHAT I'M SHARING HERE THIS IS STRICTLY THE BUILDING THE VERTICAL BUILDING I APPRECIATE IT IS GOOD SO YOU CALL IT WHEN YOU START GETTING INTO IT AND BREAK IT APART ON THOSE LAYERS IT GETS WAY MORE COMPLICATED THAN DOING THE SPREADSHEET. CHUCK, THANK YOU. 
          ABSOLUTELY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS? YEAH, NO. 
          THIS TO ME TWO THINGS YOUR MOBILE HOME PREMISE WAS 374 AND NEW CONSTRUCTION RESIDENTIAL THREE FOUR IN FIVE NEW HOMES. YES I SHOULD I ASSUME THAT MOST OF THE RESIDENTIAL OF THE BROAD AND MOST OF THE MOBILE HOMES NORTH OF THE ROAD SO IT'S A SPLIT WHEN YOU LOOK AT MOBILE HOME REGISTRATIONS I GUESS I NEED TO SAY THAT WE REGISTER MOBILE HOMES FOR THE ENTIRE GEOGRAPHIC AREA TO INCLUDE MUNICIPALITIES BUT VERY FEW OF THEM MOBILE HOMES ACTUALLY GO IN THERE BUT IT'S KIND OF AN EVEN SPLIT. THERE'S A NUMBER OF MOBILE HOME PARKS. OKAY SOUTH OF THE BROAD. THERE'S PROBABLY A HIGHER PERCENTAGE I CAN BREAK THAT OUT FOR YOU IF YOU WANT ME TO BUT IT'S THERE'S MORE NORTH THAN SOUTH BUT IT'S IT'S NOT AS BIG A SPLIT AS YOU WOULD THINK. OKAY THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR. 
          AND THE OTHER THING IS THAT YOU HAVE A VALUE ON RESIDENTIAL ALMOST HALF A BILLION DOLLARS BUT YOU DIDN'T PUT ANY VALUE ON WHICH ONE FOR ME WAS JUST THIS YOU JUST KNOW THE I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW. SO THE VALUATION IS EVERYTHING SO THE TOTAL PERMITS AT THE TOP THAT'S MISCELLANEOUS COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL ALL OF THEM AND THE $500 MILLION VALUATION INCLUDES ALL OF ALL OF THE RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL. YES. 
          OKAY YEAH AND WE CAN BREAK THESE OUT IF ANYBODY ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME WE CAN BREAK THIS OUT ANYWHERE YOU WANT IF I NEED YOU EXPLAIN IT. 
          [00:25:06]
LET'S DO IT. GREAT. SO THE NEXT ONE GO AHEAD TO THE NEXT SLIDE I HAVE UP HERE. I'LL TALK ABOUT THE VOLUME THAT'S TAKING PLACE IN PLANNING AND ZONING AND TALK ABOUT OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS. I'LL GO THROUGH THESE VERY QUICKLY DEVELOPMENT PERMITS WHICH INCLUDE SITE WORK, COMMERCIAL PROJECTS THE LIKE WE HAD 28 OF THOSE COME THROUGH OUR SRT AND ISSUED THOSE 28 DEVELOPMENT PERMITS, ZONING PERMITS THAT WOULD INCLUDE EXISTING LOTS OF RECORD STANDALONE STRUCTURES ON ALREADY DEVELOPED SITES IN NEW HOMES 1633 ZONING PERMITS WERE ISSUED AND STORMWATER PERMITS ASSOCIATED WITH ALL OF THOSE PERMITS IS 481 OF THEM WITH A TOTAL OF 2142 PERMITS COMING OUT OF THAT DEPARTMENT. SO WHAT IS A FORMAL TO PERMIT PERMIT YOU TO DO SO THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT TYPES. SO FOR RESIDENTIAL YOU HAVE ON LOT CALCULATIONS WHERE YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR STORMWATER ON YOUR LOT FOR A PRE CALCULATED PERIOD OF TIME OR DEPTH OF RAIN BEFORE IT STARTS TO RUN OFF FOR RESIDENTIAL THERE'S A IT'S A IT'S A FORMULA THAT THEY RUN THROUGH ON A SPREADSHEET AND IT HAS TO DO WITH PERVIOUS AND IMPERVIOUS SURFACE ON THAT LOT AND THEY DRAIN THEM TO RAIN GARDENS THAT HAVE A SPECIFIC CAPACITY SO THAT AS YOU HAVE RAINFALL EVENTS IT DOESN'T JUST SHEET FLOW IT HAS TO RUN TO A POOLING AREA AND THEN THERE'S A PRE CALCULATED FORMULA THAT SAYS IF YOU HAVE THIS PERVIOUS ON PERVIOUS THIS IS HOW MUCH SQUARE FOOT FOOTAGE YOU NEED IN YOUR RAIN GARDEN TO SUPPORT HOLDING THAT WATER FOR A SPECIFIED OF TIME ON THE LONG TERM IT ALLOWS THE WORK TO BE DONE THAT IT DOES IT DOES BUT IT PRE CALCULATES HOW THE WORK SHOULD BE DONE ALSO FOR COMMERCIAL WHERE YOU HAVE WHAT WE CALL BMP BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES STORMWATER PONDS DRAINS THINGS OF THE LIKE THAN YOU WOULD ACTUALLY GO TO THE STORMWATER DEPARTMENT AND THEY WOULD RUN CALCULATIONS AND THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A STORMWATER PLAN FOR THOSE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT . 
          I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR QUESTION. YEAH BUT IT'S REALLY ON A CASE BY CASE SCOPE OF WORK TYPE CASE BY CASE BASIS SO CODE ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS AS I HAVE REPEATED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TIMES OUR GOAL FIRST AND FOREMOST WOULD CODE ENFORCEMENT IS EDUCATION. IF YOU LET FOLKS KNOW WHAT THE RULES ARE ALMOST IN EVERY CASE THEY WILL COMPLY WITH THE RULES MOST VIOLATIONS EXIST JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE RULES ARE AND I THINK THIS LAYS THAT OUT SO NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS IF THERE IS A VIOLATION THAT'S FOUND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS WE DO NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS WE CAN DO WRITTEN LETTERS WE DO DOOR HANGERS WE ISSUE THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION. 
          YOU THE SUBCATEGORIES THERE WE ISSUED 669 CALENDAR YEAR 2024 THERE IS A PERIOD THAT FOLKS CAN COME INTO COMPLIANCE IF THEY DO NOT COME INTO COMPLIANCE AFTER OUR OFFICERS AND DIFFERENT STAFF HAVE WORKED WITH THEM EDUCATED GIVING THEM A PATH FORWARD FOR RESOLVING THE ISSUE THEN ISSUE A FINAL NOTICE OF VIOLATION WHICH IS AKIN TO A LINE IN THE SAND. 
          RIGHT? IF YOU DON'T COMPLETE THESE TASKS THAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IN X NUMBER DAYS THEN A CITATION WILL BE ISSUED AND THEN YOU GET TO GO TO COURT AND NOBODY WANTS TO DO THAT. WE ISSUED SIX OUT OF THE 181 FINAL NOTICE OF VIOLATION. 
          WE ISSUED SIX CITATIONS LAST YEAR. SO OUR EDUCATION PROGRAM AND THE WAY THAT WE WERE WORKING WITH THE CITIZENS OF  COUNTY IT WORKS WE ONLY HAD TO WRITE SIX TO GO TO COURT SO WE'RE PROUD OF THAT WE CLOSED 516 CASES. I KNOW THAT DOESN'T ADD UP AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE HAVE OVERLAP FROM 23 INTO THE FIRST PART AND WE HAVE SOME STILL GOING INTO 25. IT WAS AN ELECTION WE CONFISCATED 613 SIGNS. 
          THOSE ARE TYPICALLY LITTLE STOP SIGNS THAT ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. 
          WE HOLD THOSE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, NOTIFY FOLKS THAT WE CAN AND THEN DISPOSE OF THEM AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. STOP WORK ORDERS WE ISSUED 50. THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE ACTIVE WORK BEING DONE IN VIOLATION ON THE SITE THAT IS WITNESSED BY OUR CODE ENFORCEMENT AND WHEN WE NEED THE WORK TO STOP WHATEVER IT IS WE ISSUE WILL STOP WORK ORDER ALONG THAT NOTICE A VIOLATION ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT AND ONE QUESTION IS WHAT ABOUT ABANDONED TRAILERS. THEY'RE ALWAYS A PROBLEM AREN'T THEY? YES, MA'AM. SO WHEN WE GET INTO UNFIT DWELLINGS THAT IS A THAT'S AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE PROCESS THAT'S REGULATED UNDER STATE LAW. 
          WE HAVE TO DO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF STEPS TO THAT AND IT TYPICALLY TAKES OVER A YEAR TO 
          [00:30:06]
GET THOSE RESOLVED IF WE TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS. BUT IT'S LENGTHY AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO COME BACK AND GIVE ANOTHER TALK ON HOW THAT WORKS . 
          YES, MA'AM. ALL RIGHT. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT THIS AMENDMENT IS YOU TO MR. PASSMAN BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE YOU YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION. I DO NOT AT THIS TIME BUT IT IS ANY ENFORCEMENT OF PENDING BOOKS BAN AND SO WOULD BE A VEHICLE. YES OR NOW IF IT IS IF IT'S A JUNK BOAT JUST LIKE A JUNK VEHICLE ON THE LAND WITHIN JURISDICTION THAT IS A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION THAN IF IT'S IN THE MARSH THE WATERS OF THE STATE. 
          SO AND DNR REALLY GETS IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WITH THAT AND I KNOW WE'VE PARTNERED IN PAST BUT THAT'S A VERY COMPLEX PROCESS. SO I HOPE THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. YES, SIR. YES. 
          SO AS PART OF MY REPORT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT THERE'S SORT OF AN ANOMALY, IF YOU WILL, ON THE AGENDA. YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A PROJECT CALLED NORTH VISION AND IT'S ON THE AGENDA TWICE WHICH MAY SEEM A LITTLE ODD BUT THE WAY THE AGENDA SET UP THE FIRST PART IS GREEN SPACE AND THE LAST PART IS RURAL AND CRITICAL WHICH IS A RURAL AND CRITICAL PROJECT AND IT'S COMING FORWARD AND WE ARE USING GREENSPACE POTENTIALLY AS A FUNDING SOURCE SO WHY YOU SEE IT ON THERE TWICE THERE'S A DISCUSSION UNDER RURAL AND CRITICAL TO BRING IT FORWARD AS A DISCUSSION ITEM ONLY BECAUSE IT'S BEEN TO THE COMMITTEE AND STAFF HAS INFORMATION TO REPORT TO YOU AND YOU ALSO SEE IT FOR DUE DILIGENCE UNDER GREENSPACE BECAUSE THE GREENSPACE COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER ANY APPLICATION HAS TO HAVE DUE DILIGENCE APPROVED ONCE BOTH OF THOSE COMMITTEES COMPLETE THEIR WORK WE WILL BRING ALL OF THAT BACK TO NATURAL RESOURCES WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT. 
          SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE IT ON THERE TWICE. SO AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MARK DAVIS. HE'S GOING TO COME UP A FEW QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT BEFORE GREENSPACE FUNDING BEFORE YOU DO THAT AS YOU WERE GOING TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THE GREENSPACE REFERENDUM, THAT'S WHAT HE'S GOING TO BRING TO YES, SIR. 
          YEAH. SO THIS IS THE DOLLAR AMOUNT COLLECTED WHERE WE STAND WHAT WE'VE SPENT AND THEN I CAN ACTUALLY MARK CAN TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT OUR PATH FORWARD IS BECAUSE WE HAVE ACHIEVED OUR $100 MILLION OVER ONE YEAR. YOU GOOD EVENING. 
          WELL, CHUCK'S LOOKS NICE IN THIS POWERPOINT LIKE THIS ONE MORE SO YEAH WE PUT THIS TOGETHER PRETTY QUICKLY TODAY JUST TO PROVIDE SOME INFORMATION TO COMMITTEE. 
          WE SEE SOME NEW FACES HERE SO HOPEFULLY THIS IS KIND OF JUST A VERY QUICK NUMBER BREAKDOWN BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IS AS OF JANUARY 12TH AND AS YOU CAN SEE TOTAL COLLECTED HAVE HIT OUR $100 MILLION MARK. SO THAT IS A SUBSTANTIAL MILESTONE IN THE PROGRAM AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF HAS BEEN FORECASTING THAT WE WOULD HIT AROUND THIS TIME. 
          SO IT HIT WHEN WE THOUGHT BASED OFF OF THE WAY WE WERE SEEING THE DEPOSITS COMING IN. 
          THE QUICK QUESTION IT NOW THAT WE'RE THERE I'M GETTING A LOT OF CALLS FROM VENDORS IN THE COMMUNITY WANTING TO KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE TO STOP COLLECTING THE MONEY. 
          I CAN YOU THE PROCESS FOR NOTIFICATION TO THAT YES SO WHAT WE UNDERSTAND AND WHAT I KNOW PINKY'S GOT SOME INFORMATION AS WELL AS THAT AND WE'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THAT DOE OUR DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTING THE FUNDS AS WELL AS MAKING THOSE DEPOSITS IS AWARE OF IT AND THEY WOULD BE THE ONES CONTACTING THE MERCHANTS AND JUST FOR THE PURPOSES OF THE HOWEVER ARE SPEAKING ABOUT IT AT THIS MOMENT AND KNOWING THAT WE'VE HIT THAT MARK IT'S KIND OF A NOTICE IN BUT D0R IS A RESPONSIBLE PARTY SO THEY CAN'T STOP COLLECTING. THEY GET THE OFFICIAL NOTICE, THEY CAN'T CHANGE THEIR MACHINERY, STOP COLLECTING THE 1% TILL THEY'RE OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED. 
          THEY'RE NO LONGER HAVE TO DO IT. I MEAN NOT TO PLAY LAWYER BUT THAT I WOULD SAY THAT WOULD BE THE SAFER PLAY. YEAH YEAH THAT'S THAT WOULD BE YEAH AND YEAH BUT THE END WAS THE 31ST OF DECEMBER SO WOULDN'T THAT BE AN AUTOMATIC STOP. NO NO NO NO THE TWO YEARS WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER FEW MONTHS. 
          WE COLLECTED IT SO WE COLLECTED WITHIN ABOUT 20 MONTHS INSTEAD OF THE 24. 
          I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THE DOCUMENT SAID ENDS DECEMBER 31ST OF 2024. 
          IT WAS FOR TWO YEARS OR 100 MILLION RUNS AND WE STARTED COLLECTING IN MAY YEAH TWO YEARS AGO SO IT WOULD EVER ROLL FORWARD FOR ANOTHER FEW MONTHS. IT'S A MOOT POINT QUITE FRANKLY 
          [00:35:01]
AT 200 MILLION I JUST WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE VENDORS NOTIFICATION. 
          SURE. AND THEY REALLY CAN'T STOP IT. THEY CHANGE THEIR EXCHANGE SO DAWN TELLS THEM TO DO SO. THAT'S WHAT I'M GOING TO START TELLING THEM. 
          SO THAT IS CORRECT. I DISAGREE. TELL THE CALL YOU DON'T CALL YOU HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION ON THAT JUST FROM COLLEAGUES COMMENT THERE IN 2018 I THINK A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO WE LEARNED THAT THERE WERE VENDORS STILL COLLECTING THE 2018 REFERENDUM. 
          OH NO DO YOUR IS GROUP CONTACTED THEM CORRECT. YEAH THAT'S MATURE THIS MIGHT BE MAKE A STATEMENT LET'S ME BUT DON'T ASK THE QUESTION MAKE THE STAND BECAUSE HE'S NOT GOING TO RESPOND BECAUSE HE'S NOT SURE THE NC USE OF MAKE YOUR STATEMENT I WILL OKAY. 
          MY POINT IS THAT YOU'RE TELLING US THE SAME INFORMATION THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN PLACE AFTER THE 2018 AND THEY'RE STILL VENDORS. SO THE STATEMENT IS THIS CAN WE AS OUR ANNOUNCEMENTS GO OUT WITH THE BEAUFORT COUNTY BULLETIN SAYING ALL VENDORS CEASE AND DESIST ON YOU KNOW I MEAN HOW DO WE DON'T DO IT IF THEY DIDN'T DO IT FOR 2018 I THINK THAT'S COUNTRY QUESTION IT'S REALLY NOT SO LET ME ADDRESS IT SO WE CAN'T TO THE 2018 I DON'T HAVE ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THAT IF IT IS IT'S A ISSUE I KNOW THAT PINKY WITH YOU ALL THE TIME SO IF THERE'S MORE INFORMATION TO BE HAD CAN GET THAT FOR YOU. BUT WHEN WE REACHED OUR DEAL OUR REPLIED CAM THERE IS A STATE LAW THAT SAYS HOW THESE THINGS ARE UNWOUND. THERE'S A STATUTE SO THEY HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THEY OUT THE NOTIFICATIONS OR WHATEVER IS INCLUDED IN THAT STATE LAW THAT IS ENACTED THIRD D0R IT'S THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THAT AND WE'RE WILLING TO HELP IN ANY WAY THAT WE CAN SUPER. SO YEAH OKAY I THINK YOU KNOW, I THINK I WOULD JUST GO FOLLOW THEM WITH COMMENTS. I THINK IT'S INCUMBENT UPON US TO NOTIFY THROUGH OUR MEANS THAT IT IS COLLECTED AND SO BUSINESSES CAN ACTUALLY START SHOULD NOTIFY YOU KNOW, WHAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THEM TO STOP SO WE'LL REACH HAS D OR IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO UNILATERALLY WITH THEM AND IF THEY SAY YES WE'LL BACK AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO AND WHAT WE'RE NOT ACCORDING THEM BECAUSE THEY THEY SORT OF RULE THE DAY ON THAT. 
          RIGHT. SO OKAY. OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. SO MUCH QUESTION TIME. YES. 
          BUSINESSES ARE STILL BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY INSIDE YOUR OWN PERSONAL POLLS SYSTEM CHANGE IT THANK GOOD APPRECIATE THAT SO I HOPE THIS INFORMATION IS USABLE USEFUL AND USEFUL TO YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS BEFORE MOVE ON? NO, IF NOT THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU JOHN. I'M SORRY WE'RE DOWN TO NUMBER EIGHT AND MR. MCSHERRY IS GOING

SIX ITEMS ON THIS RECOMMENDATION AND WE WANT TO TAKE THEM ONE AT A TIME IN THE RECOMMENDATION THAT'S ALL HERE WHICH YOU DO NOT TO VOTE ONE WAY I MEAN FOR IT WE CAN VOTE IT ETCETERA ETCETERA BUT THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO HAVE APPROVAL TO FUND DUE DILIGENCE AND NEGOTIATE TERMS AND ACQUISITION FOR THE FOLLOWING PROPOSED GREENSPACE PROGRAM APPLICATION AND WHICH ONE YOU WANT TO TAKE FIRST. MR. CHAIRMAN, WITH YOUR PLEASURE, WE'LL TAKE A BUCKFIELD TRIP BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT'S HOW IT'S LOOKING. SO IF I CAN GET A MOTION FOR THE DEAD WHICH IS THE BUTTERFIELD TRACT WHAT DO WE DO? WE NEED A MOTION TO SEPARATE. 
          WE NEED A MOTION TO SO IT'S ONLY AGENDA THAT WHAT YOU DO WE YOU CAN PROCEED I WANTED A MOTION THE SECOND YOU COULD DO THEM INDIVIDUALLY OR YOU DO A MOTION OPEN DISCUSSION DISCUSS EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY WHICH WOULD BE MUCH EASIER TO DO IN THAT WAY AND SINCE YES SO YOU I NEED TO GET A MOTION TO DISCUSS THIS INDIVIDUALLY TO DISCUSS THE ENTIRE SITTINGS AND THEN JUST TAKE THEM ONE AT A TIME. I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION. OKAY ME THAT MOTION IS A SECOND SECOND OR SECOND OKAY. NO I DO NEED A MOTION. OH LET ME JUST PASS DID IT TAKE ALL SIX ONE AT A TIME. I MEAN YES THE MOTION YOU KNOW YES AS YOU SEE YES BUT I HAVE TO BECAUSE IT'S NECESSARY OKAY SO I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THE MOTION THOUGH AT THIS TIME THERE'S A MOTION ON THE TABLE TAKE ALL SIX THERE'S A MOTION AND A SECOND. 
          SO NOW ALL SIX ARE OPEN FOR DISCUSSION AND YOU CAN DISCUSS EACH ONE INDIVIDUALLY IF YOU SEE FIT. OKAY. OKAY. 
          I'M GOING TO HAVE TO LEAN ON YOU BUT GOOD. YOU'RE GOING TO GO MR. CHAIRMAN. CHAIRMAN A HAND WITH BUCKFIELD GOOD YOU HAVE A SUMMARY IN YOUR PACKET I BELIEVE AND THERE'S A MAP THAT WILL BE DISPLAYED. THIS IS A UNIQUE PROJECT IN THAT IT IS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY IN COLLABORATION WITH FRANKLY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THIS IS A GREAT INDICATOR OF WHERE CONSERVATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTUALLY CAN DO A WORK VERY AND HAND-IN-HAND AND THIS IS TO A CORE TRACTS OF LAND. LET ME JUST PULL BEAR WITH JUST A MOMENT SORT IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THIS IS IN MY NOTES HERE IT'S THE CORE TRACTS OF LAND THAT ACTUALLY HAVE OF OPPORTUNITY BOTH ON AN ECONOMIC GROWTH BUT ALSO RECREATION WE USE WHEN WE'RE ASKING FOR THE DUE DILIGENCE AS HAS BEEN INDICATED BEFORE THE GREENSPACE COMMITTEE CAN TAKE EACH ONE OF THESE AND WE JUST NEED THAT APPROVAL TO BE ABLE TO DO OF THE DUE DILIGENCE AS DESCRIBE THAT CAN BE LEGAL DESCRIPTION SERVICES APPRAISALS OTHER TO WORK WITH THE SELLER OR THE APPLICANT IN THE COME BACK DOES NOT NECESSARILY GUARANTEE BY ANY MEANS THAT WE'RE TO COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE FORWARD ON ANY ONE OF THESE SO ASKING FOR THE PERMISSION ON THIS PARTICULAR TRACT IN THE THE TOTAL ACREAGE IS ABOUT 1300 ACRES. YES SIR. THIS WOULD BE COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE STATE FORESTRY COMMISSION ON THE ON THIS PROPERTY RIGHT THERE THIS IS RIGHT AT THE HEADWATERS IN THE NORTHERN PART OF THE HB SOME FOCUS AREA AND WORKING IN CONCERT WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TEAM AND I BELIEVE IS REPRESENTED HERE ON SEVERAL HUNDRED ACRES SECURING 500 ACRES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES WHICH I SUBMIT 
          [00:45:08]
INCLUDE SOME INDUSTRY THAT IS RELATED TO FORESTRY BUT ENGAGED IN THAT AREA. 
          BUT THIS IS THE TOTAL ACREAGE IN BEAUFORT IS 1700 SO IS THAT THE 13 PLUS? WELL IT'S A YES THE ABOVE. OKAY. YEAH. 
          ANY QUESTION ON BROOKFIELD DO WE SEE THIS AS SOMETHING THAT MAY BE POTENTIAL THAT WE NEED TO PRESERVE BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE TARGETED FOR DEVELOPMENT OR IS THAT SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE OUT IN THE DUE DILIGENCE? THERE'LL BE A LOT OF THINGS THAT WE FIGURE OUT DUE DILIGENCE BECAUSE THAT HOW MUCH MONEY WE MAY BE COMING BACK FOR THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE OTHER SOURCES THAT WE CAN ALSO OR CONSERVATION IN GENERAL IS LOOKING TOWARD OF FULFILLING THOSE GRANTS FOR ABILITY TO ASSIST THE COUNTY ON THAT THERE IS THERE IS DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL THERE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY THE 500 OR SO PLUS OR MINUS ACRES REALLY WOULD BE MORE OF A COMMERCIAL INTEREST. 
          YOU'VE GOT RAIL, YOU'VE GOT SEWER, YOU'VE GOT INTERSTATE. IT MAKES SENSE TO PUT THAT THERE AND YOU'VE GOT SENSITIVITY OF THERE. YOU'VE GOT A NUMBER OF RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES BOTH PUBLICLY FEDERALLY HELD AS WELL AS PRIVATELY OWNED CONSERVATION PROPERTIES IN THERE AND IT WOULD MAKE A MIX OF THAT NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE THE FORESTRY COMMISSION STATE PARTNER TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT AREA AS WELL, MR. CHAIRMAN, TO JUST LET SNOW WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE WHETHER THERE'S A SELLER OR AN APPLICANT, IT WOULD RELATE TO THE TO THE PRESENTATION THE PROPERTY BE HAPPY TO DO SO SIR SO THIS IS A FEASIBLE APPLICATION AND I THINK YOU CONFIRMED WITH THE WITH FORESTRY COMMISSION OR OKAY YEAH SO THERE'S A YOU HAVE TO OFTENTIMES I'LL SAY IT'S THE FORESTRY COMMISSION IS BEING REPRESENTED BY ONE OF THE LOCAL LAND TRUSTS IN THAT PROCESS WHICH IS NOT AN UNUSUAL TRANSACTION TO HAVE A CONSERVATION GROUP REPRESENT A STATE AGENCY IN THAT REGARD SO IT'S AN APPLICANT FOR US TO PURCHASE THAT FROM OURSELVES. 
          CORRECT. THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER QUESTION? LET'S GO AHEAD AND IS TAKING ACTION ON THIS ITEM WHICH IS BOB FEEL ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF MOVING FORWARD WITH THE DUE DILIGENCE OF BROOKFIELD PLEASE INDICATE BY REASON YOU HAD ENJOY I CAN'T SEE YOU BUT I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU ARE MR. PRESSMAN YEAH I. 
          I READ MY AND I CAN'T SEE YOU BUT THAT'S ALL RIGHT. YOU GOOD? CAN YOU CAN YOU SEE ME NOW? NO, BUT THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I TAKE YOUR WORD THAT WE DO THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR. 
          THEN WHICH ONE YOU WANT TO TAKE NEXT MUFFLER PUT NUMBER TWO HERE'S THE NORTH VISION TRUCK. 
          THIS IS IN OKATIE IS AN UNINCORPORATED COUNTY. THIS IS IN THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF THE COUNTY AND THIS IS AGAIN TO PURSUE DUE DILIGENCE. YOU HEARD THE ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR TALK ABOUT THIS AS YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS TWICE. 
          THIS IS TO GIVE US THE GIVE GREENSPACE OPPORTUNITY TO DO ITS WORK AND SEEK OTHER FUNDING AS WILL ON THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK ALONG WITH OUR PARTNERS RURAL CRITICAL LAND TO DO THE AND THIS IS A TRACK THAT THAT HAS BEEN ON THE RADAR FOR SOME YEARS AND I'M SO GLAD THIS WE'RE GLAD TO SEE THIS COMING FORWARD. SO MR. CHAIRMAN, I WOULD POINT OUT I THINK ONE OF THE INTERESTING DYNAMICS OF THIS PROJECT IS THAT OF THE FIRST PROJECTS RURAL CRITICAL LANDS TOOK ON WAS IT WAS IN THIS AREA THIS VERY WELL COULD BE THE ENGINE OF THAT PROGRAM IN A NICE WAY THE SEGWAY IN THE GREEN SPACE WITH SOME OF THE SAME EFFORTS THERE WE'LL SEE WE'LL SEE IT IN ANY QUESTION ON THIS THOSE IN FAVOR OF MOVING THIS FORWARD WITH DUE DILIGENCE PLEASE INDICATE BY REASON YOUR HAND A KEY IN THE TRANSFER IF YOU GO THAT A THE LAND TRUST MOVEMENT IS THE UPWARD CURVE ON THAT OKAY THIS IS PAST AND THE NEXT ONE MR. C THE WOULD BE ANOTHER FEASIBLE APPLICATION FOR THE BEACH CITY ROAD TRACK THIS IS FOR THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD YOU THERE IS A SMALL SMALL TRUCK BUT ONE THAT HAS SIGNIFICANT VALUE IN THAT AREA FOR ACQUISITION FOR CONSERVATION PURPOSES AND WE'RE ASKING AGAIN FOR SIR WE JUST PURCHASED THE ONE TO THE LEFT OF THAT CORRECT GO LEFT. 
          [00:50:08]
OKAY ANY QUESTION WHO'S THE APPLICANT? THAT'S THE TOWN OF HILTON AND DID THEY PUT UP ARE THEY PUTTING IT IN THE SAME SHARES US OR IS THIS THE SAME THING AS MITCHELL THAT WAS RIGHT NEXT DOOR IS CHAIRMAN HILTON HAS A PARTICULAR THEY'VE CONSISTENCE OR IN THEIR APPLICATIONS YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING THAT I WILL HELP ADDRESS THAT HERE IN A FEW MOMENTS IT MEANS NO COMPLETION MEANS HE'S SO MUCH MORE ELEGANT ABOUT IT OF ME ANY ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTION THERE WAS IN FAVOR OF ALL THE LEACH RIVER ROAD PROJECT SO DUE DILIGENCE PLEASE INDICATE BY REASON YOU HAVE GERALD WE OKAY I'M WITH YOU I AM AND NOW THOSE IN OPPOSITION OKAY THIS ONE IN OPPOSITION OKAY NEXT ONE MR. JIM MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS ONE IS ALSO IN THE BLUFFTON AREA. THIS IN AGAIN IN THE WESTERN DISTRICT. 
          THIS IS TO PURSUE THE DUE DILIGENCE THE BUCKWALTER TRUCK I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMMENTS ON THIS TRUCK. YOU CAN SEE THE MAP THERE THERE OF THIS THIS IS AN APPLICATION FOR FEASIBLE BY THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON THE SELLER IS A HAVE TO ADMIT TO YOU THAT I'M AGNOSTIC TO WHO THE SELLER IS BUT THE APPLICATION IS FOR THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON SEEKING THIS HERE AND WE ARE SEEKING THE THE ABILITY TO DO A NUMBER OF DUE DILIGENCE PRODUCTS AND PROGRAMS INCLUDING THERE ARE SOME PARTICULAR QUESTIONS LEGAL DESCRIPTION THERE'S CLEARLY AN APPRAISAL ASPECT THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION IN THAT PROCESS WHICH IS IN YOUR AS WELL AS PERHAPS SOME NEGOTIATIONS WILL TAKE PLACE ONCE THAT INFORMATION COMES IN BETWEEN THIS BY NO MEANS SEE THAT YOU WILL BE RECOMMENDING ENDING THE PURCHASE OF ANYTHING CORRECT. THIS IS THIS IS DOES IS OBLIGATE COUNCIL TO DO ANY FUNDING OF APPLICATION I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS WORK AND I STRESS THAT BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT SOMETIMES THOSE IN THE PUBLIC THINK THE FACT THAT GREENSPACE RECEIVES AN APPLICATION IS AUTOMATICALLY GOING TO CREATE A TRANSACTION THAT IS NOT THE CASE. THIS SIMPLY GIVES US THE ABILITY TO DO THAT TYPE OF DILIGENCE THAT ANYONE WOULD WANT US TO DO BEFORE WE COME BACK TO YOU WITH A RECOMMENDATION. ANY OTHER QUESTION YES. 
          WHAT IS MR. CHAIRMAN ON HERE? THE IS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR FUTURE PURCHASE RIGHT THEN BELOW THAT BLUFFTON OWNED LAND I THOUGHT BLUFFTON OWNED ALL THE LAND AND WANT TO CHANGE TO GREEN SPACE MY INCORRECT ABOUT THAT IS THE ARE YOU REFERRING TO WOODS IN YELLOW YOU THOUGHT THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON? WELL YEAH THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON OWNS ALL OF IT ALL THE RED THE GREEN AND THE YELLOW YELLOW IS OWNED BY THE FOOTHILLS CONSERVANCY WHICH IS AN ENTITY THAT TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THIS PROPERTY IN THE RELATIVELY RECENT RIGHT. 
          SO THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON IS SIX MILE TRACK IS IN THE TOWN OF IT IS RIGHT YES. 
          OKAY SO THE YELLOW PART THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON WANTS US TO PUT IN GREEN SPACE THEY WANT FUNDING FROM GREEN SPACE FOR THEM TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY. BUT I DIDN'T REALIZE THERE WAS THAT LITTLE PIECE OF GREEN AREA THERE. BLUFFTON OWNS THAT LAND. 
          THIS IS THE MOUNTAIN. YEAH. THIS WAS FIRST IN ANY FURTHER QUESTION, RIGHT? GO AHEAD. IS THERE A REASON IT'S NOT THE ENTIRE TRACT ON THE BOTTOM LIKE IT'S CUT OUT? ARE YOU REFERRING, MR. DIAMOND TO THE FACT THAT THE TO THAT ISN'T THAT'S AN OUT HOLD? WE DO NOT HAVE TO DO THAT SOMEWHERE. SOMEBODY AS A SEPARATE OWNERSHIP IS WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS SEVEN OWNERSHIP DO WE KNOW WHO OWNS THAT? I DO NOT KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL SIR BUT I'M SURE STEPH AND IT'S EASY OBVIOUSLY FOR THE RECORD TO FIND OUT WHO IS THE OWNER OF THE TOWN. SOMEONE FROM THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON IS HERE BEFORE YOU CAN HAVE HIM COME UP TO SPEAK WITH THAT BE WELL MR. JONES WELL THE TOWN IS THE APPLICANT RIGHT? WHAT WE'RE SEEKING HERE TONIGHT IS THE SIMPLE FACT THAT ALLOW YOUR GREEN SPACE DO OF THE DUE DILIGENCE THAT DUE DILIGENCE DOES NOT PUT A TIMEFRAME DOES SAY THAT WE HAVE TO COME BACK WITH A RECOMMENDATION IN A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD ALTHOUGH WE ALWAYS TRY TO BE EXPEDITIOUS IN DOING SO ON THAT. MR. CHAIRMAN, IF A MAIN 
          [00:55:05]

AND THAT'S UNANIMOUS. THANK YOU, SIR. THAT TOOK CARE OF ITEM NINE AND NOW WE'RE DOWN TO NUMBER TEN AND THERE'S A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE DOCUMENTS NECESSARY AND TO PROVIDE FUNDS TO THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD FOR THEIR PROCUREMENT OF CIVIL REAL ESTATE LOCATED ON HILLS IN OUR KNOWN AS JOAN ROAD TRACK AND NOT TO EXCEED THE APPRAISED PRICE AND YEAH THAT'S IT AND I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO PUT THIS ON THE TABLE SO MOVED OKAY THE SECOND SECOND BUT MR. MCGEOWN GO AHEAD SIR SO MR. CHAIRMAN NOW TO THE MOTION OF YOURS GREENSPACE YOU GIVE IT 
          [01:00:04]
YOU GAVE US PRIOR OBVIOUSLY THE ABILITY TO DO DO DUE DILIGENCE AND WE'RE COMING BACK TONIGHT WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR COUNCIL TO APPROVE A GRANT UP TO WHAT WAS THE APPRAISED VALUE THAT WAS TAKEN ON CONTRACTED BY YOUR GREENSPACE AND COUNTY STAFF FOR $2.187 MILLION FOR THIS TRUCK THAT MEANS THAT IF YOU APPROVE THIS AND THEREFORE CANCELED IT APPROVES THIS THEN WE WOULD THE COUNTY WOULD OFFER THE TOWN 2.17 MILLION FOR THE FOR THE USE FOR THE APPLICATION OR THE ACQUISITION OF THIS PARTICULAR ANY FUNDING THAT THEY NEED OR ANY NEGOTIATIONS OF COST OVER THAT IS GOING TO HAVE THEY'LL HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A WAY HOW THEY'RE GOING TO HANDLE THAT THAT DID NOT COME OUT OF GREENSPACE. OKAY. 
          AND THIS IS A SIX ACRE TRACT. YES, SIR. THEN I THINK THE MAP SHOWS WHERE YOU CAN SEE AND IT'S CLEARLY IS IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'VE HAD GREAT DISCUSSION OVER IN TERMS OF VALUES ON HILTON HEAD AND VALUES THROUGH OTHER PARTS THE COUNTY AS WELL. OKAY. ANY DISCUSSION FROM COUNCIL? WELL, I'D LIKE MAKE A MOTION TO AMEND THIS AND I'M VERY SPITBALL MAKE THE MOTION FIRST AND DISCUSS IT AND THE MOTION WOULD BE TO TO INCLUDE ANY ADDITIONAL CONSERVATION FUNDS. 
          THE GRANTS OR OTHER SOURCES WILL BE RETURNED TO OUR GREENSPACE PROGRAM FUNDS AND THIS I WILL SECOND THAT GOOD AND OBVIOUSLY REASON I'M MAKING THAT IS SHOULD THEY RECEIVE FUTURE FUNDS AND WE DID PUT THIS ON ANOTHER ONE THE FUNDS COME BACK TO GREENSPACE AND WE'VE AGREED WE'RE GOING TO PUT THIS ON MOST OF THE ONES GOING FORWARD OF THIS KIND OKAY IT'S BEEN SECOND IN DISCUSSION TO THE ALSO IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION AS AMENDED AT THIS TIME THE NO THE AMENDMENT PLEASE INDICATE THE REASON YOU'RE HERE. OKAY THAT'S UNANIMOUS NOW THE MOTION ON THE TABLE NOW IS TO APPROVE THE ADMINISTRATOR TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FUNDS, PROVIDE THE FUNDS AND FOR THE TOWN TO BUY THEIR PROPERTY THIS PROPERTY. 
          JONES WILL TRACK NOT TO EXCEED THE APPRAISED PRICE AT THIS TIME AND WITH THE STIPULATION THAT ANY FUNDS COMING FROM OTHER LATER ON WILL GO BACK TO GREENSPACE THAT'S THE MOTION YOU'VE GOT IN OVER THERE. RIGHT? OKAY. 
          ONE QUICK QUESTION. YEAH, I'VE HEARD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE, MR. MCSHANE. 
          I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY IF THIS GOES THROUGH THIS WAY WILL BE THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY. 
          THE TOWN WOULD LOOK AT THANK YOU BUDDY. THOSE IN FAVOR OF THIS MOTION PLEASE INDICATE BY REASON I HAVE A QUESTION TO YES. I'M SORRY APOLOGIES. 
          I'M A JOURNALIST. THIS WILL BE ALL RIGHT. MOVING AHEAD MR. SORRY IF THE PROPERTY IS OWNED BY HILTON HEAD AND HAVE JUST MADE THAT AMENDMENT THAT WE PROVED WOULD WE AS A COUNTY BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR THOSE SAID GRANTS AS WELL? IT'S A VERY FAIR QUESTION, MR. CUNNINGHAM. I DO THINK YOU SHOULD FOR THEM TO APPLY FOR THEM IF I DO THINK THERE ARE WHERE THAT THE ANSWER COULD BE YES THERE MAY BE SOME GRANTS THAT WOULD DISQUALIFY THE COUNTY SINCE THE FEE OWNERSHIP IS THERE. BUT I THINK THERE'S SOME WAYS THAT THE GRANT RESTRICTIONS THAT BE PUT IN PLACE MAY BRING VALUE BACK TO THE COUNTY. 
          IS THERE A WAY FOR US TO PUT SOMETHING IN THE AMENDMENT THAT SAYS MAYBE OUR STAFF COULD TEAM UP FOR THE ONES THAT WERE NOT ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR BECAUSE WE'RE NOT THE LANDOWNERS WE WOULD BE ABLE TO TEAM UP WITH THEM SO WE COULD PUSH IT TO BE APPLIED FOR ANY OF THOSE GRANTS. MAKES SENSE. I MEAN HE'S RIGHT. 
          THERE IS NO INCENTIVE FOR YOU TO JUST I HAVE NO ISSUE MORE ABOUT THIS THAN ME SO I'M JUST SPITBALLING MAYBE JUST FORGIVE ME FOR JUST SORT OF PROCESSING THROUGH SOME EXPERIENCE. 
          I HAVE NO ISSUE THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY DIRECT STAFF TO YOU KNOW THE ADMINISTRATOR COULD DIRECT STAFF TO WORK WITH OUR LEGAL COUNSEL GREENSPACE AND HOW YOU MIGHT COULD PUT THIS INTO A GRANT AGREEMENT I THINK YOU WANT TO DO IS TO MAKE A CONDITION THAT THE APPLICANT WILL COOPERATE WITH THE COUNTY IN APPLYING FOR OTHER GRANTS AND THAT ANY RECIPIENT RECEIVES THOSE GRANTS WILL COME BACK TO THE GREENSPACE PROGRAM. THAT SOUNDS BEAUTIFUL. 
          I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION TO THE AMENDMENT. I'LL SECOND THAT. 
          OKAY. NO OBJECTION THE GRIZZLIES IS THAT SOMETHING AS WELL WHEN IT FIRST AND SECOND AND SO DISCUSSION IS THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE COULD PUT INTO OUR 
          [01:05:01]
LANGUAGE FOR A FUTURE DISCUSSION I WOULD JUST SAY AS IF IF BRIAN AND CHUCK IF YOU MARCH IF YOU'LL MAKE SURE YOU BRING THAT TO A GREENSPACE COMMUNITY AND WE'LL TAKE THAT AS CONSIDERATION THAT INTO A POLICY SO THAT THERE'S CONSISTENCY IN HOW WE DO THAT THAT'LL BE GREAT. YEAH, THERE'S THERE'S A LET ME MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE MOTION AND SO WHAT'S THE AMENDMENT AT THIS TIME YOU SEE ALLOWS OUR STAFF TO WORK WITH THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY TO APPLY FOR GRANTS THE PROPERTY AND THAT THEY WILL COOPERATE WITH US IF WE DO THIS PURCHASE FOR THEM TO BE THE PROPERTY OWNERS. 
          SO YES MR. CHAIRMAN TABS ORIGINAL AMENDMENT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO DEPART THE THE YOU SEEN THE PROPERTY OWNER NOW OPPOSE FROM VIEW OF A FULL FIVE YEAR OLD AND WOULD HAVE TO COOPERATE WITH THOSE IF WE FOR EXTENDED GRANTS YEAH AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WOULD COUNSEL THE SCENE IS IS OKAY LEGALLY SO I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT LIKE THAT WE'RE MAKING A CONDITION OF THE GRANT THAT THEY WILL COOPERATE WITH THE COUNTY IN ANY APPLICATIONS FOR FUTURE GRANTS FROM OTHER ENTITIES IT'S TO HAVE TO REIMBURSE THE GREEN SPACE PROGRAM FOR THE FUNDS GRANTING RETENTION OKAY MY NAME THAT IS MS. CHIMNEY ONLY BECAUSE WITH HER AMENDMENT THAT WE GET THE FUNDS BACK THERE'S NO MOTIVE FOR THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD TO APPLY FOR ANY GRANTS. GRANTS? I UNDERSTAND THIS SO AT LEAST WE HAVE ACCESS TO IT IF WE'RE NOT THE PROPERTY I'M JUST TRYING TO FOLLOW THE LEGITIMATE PART OF IT AND THE ATTORNEY SAYING IT IS HE'S OKAY WITH THE AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT AT THIS TIME AND I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT LIKE BECAUSE I'M NOT THE LAWYER FOR MR. CHAIRMAN. 
          YES, I'M THE LIAISON HILTON HEAD. BUT THIS IS JUST NOT IS NOT IS NOT THIS HILTON HERE I'M NOT PICKING ON IT SHOULD BE ANYBODY ANYBODY THAT'S YEAH YEAH. 
          YOU KNOW MR. CHAIR, JUST SO I UNDERSTAND MCSHANE YOU'RE GREENSPACE COMMITTEE WILL MAKE THAT A PROVISION GOING FORWARD THE FUNDS COME BACK TO US BUT ALSO THAT THERE WILL BE A COOPERATION TO SEEK FUNDS SO YOU'RE TALKING IN GENERAL TERMS IN TERMS OF FUTURE APPLICATIONS . SO WHAT I CAN COMMIT TO TONIGHT MADAM, IS THAT I'LL BRING THAT TO THE GREENSPACE COMMITTEE MEETING ON THE 24TH AND THAT TAKE AN ACTION ON THAT. 
          OKAY IT IS MY INSTINCT SO NO ONE'S GOING TO OBJECT TO THAT BECAUSE IT REALLY ADDRESSES THE ISSUE THAT WE'VE ALL HAD DISCUSSIONS OVER ABOUT THE FACT THAT ENTITIES THAT ASK FOR 100% OF FUNDING FROM GREENSPACE WHEN REALLY THE IDEAL SITUATION IS THAT THEY'RE USING IT AS A PARTICIPATING GRANT NOT 100% WE'LL SAY THAT IN THIS CASE. I THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE SOME COMFORT IN THAT WE'RE NOT PAYING MORE THAN THE APPRAISED VALUE WE HAD IF THEY NEGOTIATED ON A HIGHER METRIC THEN THEY'VE GOT TO COME UP WITH I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO COME BACK TO THE GREENSPACE SO WE WANT TO STAY CONSISTENT EVEN IN THE MITCHELL RULE TRACK WE'VE BEEN CONSISTENT IN HOW WE'VE DONE THIS. YEAH I UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE EXPECTATIONS THAT MAYBE BE DIFFERENT BUT THIS IS HOW WE'VE BEEN OPERATING UNDER YOUR ORDINANCE AND I THINK THAT'S THE BEST RECOMMENDATION I CAN MAKE TO COUNCIL I SERVE SO GOOD . OKAY. THERE'S AN AMENDMENT ON THE FLOOR TIME AND I'M NOT GOING TO REPEAT IT ANYBODY WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND IT. 
          PLEASE LET ME KNOW AT THIS TIME OTHER THAN IT CALLING FOR THE QUESTION GOES IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT IS ON THE FLOOR PLEASE INDICATE BY REASON OF HEARING YES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE 2 MINUTES TO CUNNINGHAM'S AMENDMENT AND THEN IF THAT'S SUCCESSFUL BLENDING AND THERE'S 10 MINUTES AMENDMENT THAT'S SUCCESSFUL, THEN YOU GO TO THE ORIGINAL RIGHT? RIGHT NOW WHAT I HAVE A THING IS THE APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT IS TO HAVE A MOTION THAT'S ALREADY BEEN PASSED AND THIS IS ANOTHER AMENDMENT TO THIS MOTION. SO WE IF WE TAKE CARE OF THIS IT WOULD BE THE MOTION AS AMENDED AS AMENDED CORRECT TOTAL IF WE MOVE FORWARD SO THOSE WHO ARE IN FAVOR OF THE AMENDMENT THAT MR. CUNNINGHAM HAS JUST PUT FORWARD PLEASE BY RAISING YOUR HAND. OKAY, THAT'S UNANIMOUS. AND SO WE HAVE A MOTION THAT'S AMENDED AND AMENDED AND THAT'S THE MOTION THAT'S ON THE FLOOR BY DOUBLE AMENDMENTS AND THAT'S WHAT THE MOTION WE WILL VOTE ON THOSE IN FAVOR OF THAT MOTION AS AMENDED AND AMENDED PLEASE INDICATE BY REASON HERE AND MR. MR. PARLIAMENTARIAN THAT WE CAN GET MOTION.

AND NUMBER 11 MR. ANDERSON, YOU STILL YOU I'M STILL HERE, SIR. YES, SIR. 
          THAT'S DO YOU FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT? KEEP THEM. 
          IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD. I THINK I NEED TO GO IN FOR THE MOTION. 
          YES, SIR. YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M JUST WAITING ON YOU. 
          PUT YOUR MOTION OF THIS TO HAPPEN. JUST MADE THE MOTION WHICH IS? TO AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE DOCUMENTS AND TO PROVIDE FUNDS TO CONTRIBUTE TO PROCUREMENT OF PHYSICAL REAL ESTATE LOCATED ON HILTON ISLAND AS THE WILLIAM HILTON PARK WE TRACK AND NOT TO EXCEED THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND ANY FUNDING WE RECEIVE FROM FUTURE RUNWAY ACQUISITION GO BACK TO THE GREENSPACE FUND AND THAT'S OUR MOTION IS THEIR SECOND OKAY IS HOW A SECOND? GO AHEAD SIR. 
          SO OKAY. THIS IS AS YOU CAN SEE HERE THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN COME IN A LITTLE TIGHTER ON THE ACTUAL TRUCKS. YOU CAN SEE IT'S IT'S THREE TRUCKS, THE TOWNHOMES THAT IN GRAY AND THIS IS AN APPLICATION FOR THE THREE YELLOW TRUCKS THE COMMITTEE TO A GROUP DISCUSSION ON THE FACT THAT IT IS ALONG TO 78 AND AT SOME POINT MAY VERY LIKELY HAVE AN IMPACT BY ROAD WALK AND SO THE COMMITTEE'S THOUGHT WAS TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL USING GREENSPACE ON THOSE TRUCKS BUT WITH THE CAVEAT THAT ANY IMPACT FINANCIALLY TO THOSE PROPERTIES THE ROAD WHERE DID THAT MONEY COME BACK TO GREENSPACE BECAUSE IT IS A 100 IT IS A REQUEST THE TOWN AGAIN FOR 100% OF THEIR REQUEST FOR DOES NOT EXCEED THE APPRAISED VALUE. THAT'S ALWAYS THE CAVEAT AND THE QUESTION. 
          MR. GRAY SO I'M LOOKING AT THIS MAP. MR. MCSHANE SO THE GRAY THE TOWN OWNS YES SIR. AND THEY WOULD LIKE US TO BUY THE OTHER SLICES? YES, YES IS THERE A REASON THE TOWN DOESN'T THOSE SLICES IT LOOKS KIND OF STRANGE TO ME. 
          THEY HAVE BROKEN IT UP. WELL I CAN'T SPEAK FOR WHY THEY DON'T CURRENTLY OWN THEM. 
          I CAN ONLY SPEAK THAT THEY SEE IN OUR SOLICITING TO PURCHASE THOSE NOW WHAT WAS THE VALUE AND THE APPRAISED VALUE THAT WE'RE RECOMMENDING NOT TO EXCEED 1.464 MILLION SO $1,464,200 ON THAT. SO HOW DOES THAT PUT US IN A LEGALITY WISE IF WE DID PUT SOMETHING IN GREENSPACE CONSTRUCTION HAPPENS ON IT AT SOME POINT YOU WILL ONLY HAVE IF WE'LL WILL USE THE TERM D.O.T. DOT COMES IN AND IMPACTS THAT THEY'LL HAVE TO DO SOME MITIGATION TO THAT MITIGATION VALUE WILL BE APPRAISED AND WE WERE ASKING THAT THAT IMPACT VALUE OUGHT TO COME BACK TO GREENSPACE OKAY MAKE SENSE PART OF THE MOTION THROUGH ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS MATTER MR. ADMINISTRATOR YOUR CONFERENCE YES ON THE PRIOR ISSUE YOU WANTED THE APPLICANT TO COOPERATE WITH THE COUNTY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO COME BACK AS WELL YOU MAY WANT THE CONDITION OF THE WELL WELL THAT'S IN HERE.

          NOW WE'LL TAKE THE MOTION AS AMENDED AT THIS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PURCHASING AS TO WHO HAS MADE THAT MOTION ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDED MOTION I GUESS JUST KIND OF THE SAME QUESTION AS TAB WHY ARE THEY PURCHASING IT THEMSELVES FOR THE SMALL PARCEL AND THEY ARE THE ONLY SURROUNDING ONES LIKE I UNDERSTAND USING GREENSPACE AS A TOOL AND IT OPENS IT UP FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT BUT THIS IS LIKE THE FOURTH ONE AN OBSERVATION IS GREENSPACE AND THE CONSERVATION WITH THE PROPERTY SO IS THE THERE'LL BE GRANT RESTRICTIONS ON ON THE PROPERTY. YES SIR. 
          YES SIMPLY AN OBSERVATION THE TENANT HILTON HEAD HAS BEEN VERY AGGRESSIVE IN SUBMITTING 
          [01:15:04]
APPLICATIONS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE PROGRAM. YOU FIRST STARTED TAKING APPLICATIONS ABOUT THIS. WELL IN ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR ACTUALLY THAT WAS MAY OF 23 IS WHEN YOU STARTED COLLECTING IN MAY 23. SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN ROUGHLY SHORTLY AFTER THE YEAR THEY STARTED WHEN WE WHEN YOU HAD PASSED THE ORDINANCE AND I THINK IT WAS SEPTEMBER OF 23 THEY STARTED PUTTING IN APPLICATIONS SO BEEN VERY AGGRESSIVE ABOUT THAT. IT'S GOOD FOR THE WHEN YOU WORK IN GREENSPACE RESPECTFULLY UNDERSTANDS OUR POSITION IS TO BRING A RECOMMENDATION BACK TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND WHAT WE THINK IS THE BEST PATHWAY FOR COUNCIL TO TAKE ON USING GREENSPACE OKAY YES SIR. 
          I WANT TO ASK A QUESTION THAT'S NOT PART OF THIS SOMETHING OF MR. MCSHANE GETTING EDUCATION FOR ME. IS THIS AN APPROPRIATE TO DO THAT OR DO WE LET'S GET RID OF THIS. YES, LET'S DO THAT AND THEN I'LL COME BACK. 
          THANK YOU. YES. OKAY. 
          ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE MOTION AS AMENDED THOSE IN FAVOR OF PLEASE INDICATE BY REASON THE HAND YOU KNOW GET OKAY IS UNANIMOUS NO NO IT IS NOT IT IS IN OH MAMA NO I'M AN OAK IS TO IN OPPOSITION. THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. 
          OKAY YEAH, I'M TRYING TO GET BACK TO TIME. THAT'S OKAY. 
          I APPRECIATE THAT. GO AHEAD. GO AHEAD. 
          YOU HIT THE FLOOR. MY QUESTION THIS WE HAD A COUPLE OF CITIZENS SPEAK BEFORE ABOUT IF GREEN GREENSPACE ACQUIRES PROPERTY AND SOMEBODY WANTS TO PUT A ROAD IN, WHAT ARE THE RULES AND REGULATIONS ONCE A PROPERTY BECOMES A GREENSPACE THIS IS A GENERAL RESPONSE NOT SPECIFIC TO ANY ONE PARTICULAR PROJECT ANY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY IS STILL ENTITLED TO USE THE TOOL OF CONDEMNATION DESPITE FACT THERE WAS CONSERVATION PLACED ON THE PROPERTY BE DEED RESTRICTIONS EASEMENT OR GRANT RESTRICTIONS THEY STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE CONDEMNATION . NOW THAT'S A VERY PUBLIC PROCESS THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE PROBABLY SOME COURT OVERSIGHT ON THAT. 
          BUT THAT NOT PROHIBIT THEM FROM MOVING FORWARD ON THE I APPRECIATE THAT. 
          THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN MORE WOODED REGARDLESS OF WHO THE OWNER IS CORRECT IS. 
          ABSOLUTELY. REGARDLESS WHO THE IS BE IT I'M IN THIS VALLEY ANY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR ANY PRIVATE CITIZEN. YES, SIR. THANK YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED TO HELP EASE SOME OF THEIR MINDS. THAT'S GOOD. 
          THANK YOU. ESPECIALLY I THINK THAT'S EXHAUSTED YOUR TIME. 
          WE WANT TO THANK YOU. I HOPE IT'S NOT EXHAUSTED. MY WELCOME SIR I WILL JUST POINT OUT BECAUSE YOU HAD MORE OF SOME OF THE FIGURES UP THERE IS THERE A CHANCE YOU COULD GO BACK TO THE GREEN SPACE FIGURES JUST TO GO OF GIVE SOME CONTEXT FIGURES OF THE METRICS HERE YOU'VE SPENT THIS IS THE WITH THE MAP. YES, MA'AM. 
          SO IF YOU LOOK THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE SPENT ABOUT 10.8 MILLION ON PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY COUNCIL YOU NOW HAVE TWO MORE THAT YOU WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL IF THEY'RE SUCCESSFUL THEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT A ROUND OF 14 TO RULE OVER $14 MILLION OF THE PROGRAM THAT YOU'VE COMMITTED TO. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PROJECTS TO STILL COME FORWARD BUT THAT MEANS WE'RE SOMEWHERE IN THE 15 TO 16 OR SO PERCENT OF WHAT IS SPENT AND I JUST HIGHLIGHT THE FACT THAT IT WAS MAY OF 23 TO MAY OF 25 WOULD HAVE BEEN THE TWO YEAR MR. CUNNINGHAM YOU KNOW, MY THREE DAUGHTERS AND MY WIFE ARE SPENDING MONEY DOWN HERE WEST AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHY YOUR SALES TAX I WASN'T GOING TO SAY ANYTHING UNTIL LATER BUT WE MIGHT WANT TO CHECK OUR WEBSITE SO THANK YOU SIR. 
          CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS COUNCIL FOR HAVING WISDOM TO IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM. 
          GREAT. OKAY. APPRECIATE IT. 
          THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. THE NEXT TIME YOU USE A GREEN SPACE WE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE LITTLE BIT MORE TIME. OKAY.

          [01:20:04]
BLUFFTON SOUTH CAROLINA LOCATED AT 33, 333 AND 335 OF WARSAW PARKWAY. 
          MR. EVERSON YOU'LL NEED A MOTION MAKE THE MOTION. OH YES. 
          ANY NEWS ? YES, IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY IN MOTION SECOND BY MS.. 
          HOWARD AND STABENOW. OKAY I'M GLAD WE MADE IT THROUGH THAT. 
          TO GET TO THIS HAVE TO TRY TO GET RUSSELL OUT HERE FOR HIS BOARD MEETING. 
          BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT. THE PROJECT CONTINUES TO PROCEED. 
          I'M GOING TO RUSSELL COME UP AND GIVE YOU MORE OF THE DETAILS. 
          BUT IN OUR ORIGINAL CONVENING ORDINANCE LAST YEAR SOME OF THE LANGUAGE WAS VERY WAS VAGUE AND IT WAS INFINITE. AND IN THE PROCESS OF INVESTORS AND DEVELOPMENT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SOME SPECIFICS THAT HAVE COME UP THAT MUST BE AMENDED BY ORDINANCE. 
          WE COULDN'T JUST CHANGE ANY OF THE TERMS WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS SO RUSSELL CAN EXPLAIN SOME OF THOSE. BUT WE MADE SURE THAT IN THIS AMENDMENT THE COUNTY STILL HAS THE RESTRICTION FOR THE OPERATION OF THE USES FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND SUCH USES WOULD CEASE THE COUNTY WOULD RECEIVE THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE LAND BACK AT THE TIME OF THE DEFAULT INITIALLY THE ORDINANCE SAID THAT WE WOULD ALSO GET THE IMPROVEMENTS BACK THAT HINDERS SOMEBODY TO DEVELOP IT WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO PUT FAR MORE MONEY IN VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION AND FOR US TO RECOUP THAT WE DON'T FORESEE THAT HAPPENING BUT I'LL LET HIM EXPLAIN THE DETAILS OF WHY THAT'S NECESSARY IN THE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT. 
          MR. BAXLEY JUST HEAR ME, COUNSEL THANK YOU. I'LL KEEP THIS SWEET, SHORT AND SWEET THE POINT BECAUSE I DO HAVE A BOARD MEETING TO GET BACK TO AT 530 BUT BUT ULTIMATELY SOME CLEAN UP OF THE ORDINANCE AND I THINK IT WAS WELL DRAFTED ORDINANCE BUT WE'RE TRYING TO ALIGN THIS WITH FOR EXAMPLE TO COOPER IN THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON IN TERMS OF HOW LONG WE'LL KEEP THE PROPERTY AFFORDABLE. THINK 30 YEARS IS WHAT WE AGREED TO WITH THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON AS THEY CONVEY THE ART OF USE TO THIS PROJECT WHICH WOULD BE 60 TO EQUAL 120 AS PART OF THIS PROJECT. AND THEN ULTIMATELY THE POINT IS WELL THE THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PROPERTY WE JUST WANT SOME FLEXIBILITY OF THAT OBVIOUSLY BOTH FOR THE COOPER AND B FOR MEMORIAL. WE'RE GOING TO INVEST A LOT OF MONEY AND INTO EITHER THE MEDICAL OR THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PART AND SO JUST WE WANT THE ABILITY THAT SAY 30 YEARS WHEN THE LEASE IS UP THAT WE CAN EITHER PURCHASE THOSE THAT LAND THAT THE IMPROVEMENTS SIT ON A FAIR MARKET VALUE OR VICE VERSA WE CAN UNWIND IN A DIFFERENT WAY PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY BOTH FOR THE COUNTY AND WHAT THE COOPER WHO IS A DEVELOPER ON THE PROJECT AS WELL AS BEFORE MEMORIAL WHO WILL BE A BIG PART OF THE PROJECT AS WELL SO REALLY JUST A BIT OF A CLEAN UP FOR THAT 30 YEAR TERM WHICH IS WHAT WE'LL BE TALKING WITH THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON TOMORROW. SO AS AN UPDATE TO THE PROJECT WE DO GO TO TOWN TOMORROW TO DISCUSS WITH THEM THE AGREEMENT FOR THE CONVEYANCE THE ART OF USE TO THIS PROJECT AND ALSO THE TIME IN WHICH WE WILL BE KEEPING THAT PROJECT AFFORDABLE WHICH WILL BE FOR A MINIMUM OF THREE YEARS, WHICH IS WHAT THE COOPER HAS AGREED TO AND ULTIMATELY WHEN THEY PARTNER WITH FOR MEMORIALS IN THE COUNTIES IN THE TOWNS OF THE WORLD 30 YEARS IS KIND OF THEIR STANDARD IS WHAT THEY KEEP THESE AFFORDABLE FOR NOT THAT THEY TYPICALLY SELL THESE THEY DON'T THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WE PARTNERED WITH THEM BUT ULTIMATELY THAT'S KIND OF THE INDUSTRY STANDARD THAT 30 YEARS FOR THEM AND AS YOU GUYS KNOW WE ALREADY HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ACQUIRED THE HOUSING TAX CREDIT FROM THE STATE SO WE ARE MOVING FORWARD. WE'RE ALSO GOING TO BE IN FRONT OF THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON INTO THE DRC SUBMITTING THE MASTER PLANNING AS WELL GOING THROUGH WETLANDS, STORMWATER PERMITTING ETC. WE'RE THROUGH THE PROCESSES NOW WITH THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON I WOULD EXPECT IN ABOUT 6 TO 8 MONTHS TIME WE COULD BREAK GROUND ON THIS PROJECT SO. 
          I'LL PAUSE THERE AND ASK FOR ANY QUESTIONS ANY QUESTION HOW MANY HOUSING ARE WE TALKING? 120 YEAH ALL OF THEM ARE WORKFORCE HOUSING. YES, YES. 
          WORKFORCE AND AFFORDABLE JUST BOTH BOTH HAVE UNITS I KIND OF USED INTERCHANGEABLY SO I JUST BASICALLY USE THAT WORKFORCE AND IT'LL BE 8016 40% OF AM I 8060 AND 40% OF THE ARMY AND VARIOUS COMBINATIONS ONE BEDROOM TWO BEDROOM AND THREE BEDROOM APARTMENTS IN. 
          THE OTHER QUESTION YEAH SO WE'LL MOVE THIS ALONG SO YOU GET BACK TO YOUR BOARD MEETING.

VOTE YES WE'RE TO NUMBER ITEM NUMBER 13 AND THIS IS KEY SCHIEFFER'S GOT TO COME GIVE THE UPDATE I HAD TO REPORT FROM THE RULES RULE BE CRITICAL IN ANNUAL REPORT AND IS SAFER IF YOU OR SOMEONE WOULD JUST INTRODUCE AND RECOGNIZE THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE HERE I 
          [01:25:03]
APPRECIATE IT THANK YOU MA'AM. GREAT THANK YOU ALL. I'M KATE SCHAFFER WITH THE URBAN LAND TRUST. AND AS COUNCILMEMBER GLOVER HAS INDICATED, WE HAVE TWO RURAL AND CRITICAL BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE HERE AT THE MEETING WITH US TONIGHT, MR. WALTER MACK, WHO HAS SERVED AS OUR CHAIR IN RECENT YEARS AND MR. BENNETT WHO SERVES AS VICE CHAIR CURRENTLY. SO THANK BOTH FOR FOR BEING HERE AND FOR BEING PART OF CONSERVATION STORY AS MEMBERS OF THE RURAL AND CRITICAL BOARD THIS IS AN IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY NOT ONLY TO THANK THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE SITTING HERE BUT ALL BOARD MEMBERS OF THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM THAT HAVE SERVED SINCE ITS INCEPTION. 
          AS YOU ALL ARE WELL AWARE, THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM HAS BENEFITED FROM FIVE SUCCESSFUL BOND REFERENDUMS AND HAS LEVIED A PROPERTY TAX TO LAND COUNTYWIDE AND THE GREEN SPACE PROGRAM HAS PICKED UP THE BATON AND THE MOMENTUM OF LAND PROTECTION IN A SIMILAR BUT SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MANNER. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE WORK OF THE RURAL AND CRITICAL BOARD ISN'T TO BE INCREDIBLY COMMENDED FOR SETTING THAT STRONG FOUNDATION. 
          SO THANK TO OUR BOARD MEMBERS BOTH BOTH PAST AND PRESENT ALL THE INFORMATION YOU'LL HEAR TONIGHT IS BECAUSE OF THEIR DILIGENCE AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO COUNTY. 
          SO WE OWE THEM A DEBT OF GRATITUDE AND GREAT MEMBERSHIP AND I TO JUST IF THERE'S OVER THE YEARS THEY HAVE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB AND I THINK DESERVE THAT AS THE LEAST WE CAN DO THE LEAST WE CAN DO GO AHEAD. GREAT GREAT. 
          WELL, IT'S MY PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE YOU ALL TONIGHT THE URBAN LAND TRUST HAS HAD THE PLEASURE OF SERVING AS THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM CONTRACTOR FOR 12 OF ITS MANY YEARS. 
          AND PART OF OUR ROLE IS TO PRESENT AN ANNUAL OF SORTS THE ONE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT IS ACTUALLY A SNAPSHOT THE PAST TWO YEARS WHICH IS CONVENIENT BECAUSE THE PROJECTS FALL INTO TWO NICE CATEGORIES AND I HAVE SOME DRAFT METRICS TO SHARE WITH YOU AS WELL. 
          SO FIRST AND FOREMOST I'LL START WITH THE SUCCESS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE COLORFUL GRAPHIC . OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS WE'VE HAD SIX REAL ESTATE CLOSINGS AND THREE OF WHICH HAVE REALLY ADDED TO FUTURE PUBLIC ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES AND THE INVESTMENT AND FEE SIMPLE LAND HOLDINGS AND THE PASSIVE PARKS PROGRAM AND THREE THAT HAVE BEEN SMALLER IN BUT HAVE ADDED TO LINKAGES BETWEEN EXISTING LAND HOLDINGS AND SO I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS 554 ACRES PROTECTED WITH $8.7 MILLION AND 1.2 IN PARTNER INVESTMENT WHICH HELPS GET US TO OUR TOTAL OF LAND PROTECTION TO DATE AND TO OVER 2900 ACRES THAT INCLUDES THE 153 SO 29,000 THANK YOU. 
          IT'S IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION THAT INCLUDES THE HUNDRED AND 53 MILLION SPENT FROM THE RURAL AND CRITICAL BOND AND THE OVER 46 MILLION INVESTED DIRECTLY BY PARTNERS INCLUDING PARTNERS THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE OR OUR MUNICIPALITIES IN PREVIOUS THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND OTHERS AND THE CLOSINGS FROM THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS ARE GOING TO BE HIGHLIGHTED IN REPORT THAT YOU'LL RECEIVE AND THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE ELECTRONICALLY ON THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM WEBSITE WE HAD POCATELLO PRESERVE 527 ACRES OF FACE AND BULL LAND IN DISTRICT ONE THAT WAS PROTECTED WITH DIRECT CASH SUPPORT FROM THE CONSERVATION BANK AND PARTNERSHIP FROM THE URBAN SPACE INSTITUTE, THE HILL OAK ABOUT 12 ACRES PURCHASED IN THE TOWN OF PORT ROYAL WITH SUPPORT THE TOWN AND FROM THE LANDOWNERS INCLUDING A DIRECT INVESTMENT TO PROTECT THE HERITAGE TREE CANOPY AND THEN RECENTLY IN DECEMBER THE CLOSING OF 12 ADDITIONAL ACRES NEXT TO OURS ULTIMATE TOWN HERITAGE PRESERVE WHICH IS A 100 ACRE SITE IN THE OKATIE AREA THAT INCLUDES HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL ARTIFACTS LINKING BACK TO THE MRC NATIVE TRIBES. SO THOSE ARE JUST INCREDIBLE ADDITIONS TO OUR SIMPLE PUBLIC LAND. WE SHOULD BE VERY PROUD TO ADD AND TO FUTURE PUBLIC ACCESS AND THEN INVESTMENTS THAT PROTECT THE LANDSCAPE LINKS OUR PROPERTIES LIKE THE BLOCKER FIELD EXTENSION WHICH YOU APPROVED 23 AND CLOSED IN 24 AND THAT BASICALLY IT SAYS EXTENDS BLOCKER FIELD WHICH IS A VISTA AS WE DRIVE ON TO RURAL ST HELENA ISLAND BARROW LANDING WHICH FILLS INTO A DONUT HOLE AND THE BARREL LANDING TRACK ALONG THE HEADWATERS OF THE OKATIE RIVER AND THEN BOUNDARY STREET WHICH IS HELPING TO CREATE A LINEAR PARK OF PUBLIC VIEWS TO THE MARSH ALONG HIGHWAY 21 THAT DOUBLES DOWN ON NOT ONLY THE COUNTY'S INVESTMENT IN LAND PROTECTION AND VISTAS BUT IN THE RESILIENCE OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE PROTECTING LAND ADJACENT TO THE HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTES IN 
          [01:30:04]
A LOW LYING AREA LIKE COUNTY WILL CONTINUE TO PAY FORWARD POSITIVE RESULTS AS A BOARD WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM LOOKS LIKE AND WE HAVE TWO OR THREE MORE CLOSINGS THAT WOULD ESSENTIALLY REDUCE THE FUNDING TO A NEGLIGIBLE AMOUNT COULD BE REINVESTED TO DEBT SERVICE OR TO CLOSE OUT THE PROGRAM AND WE REALLY FEEL STRONGLY THAT THE BEST PARTS THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM ARE BEING PASSED FORWARD TO GREENSPACE AND THERE IS A YOU KNOW, A SYMBOLIC PASSING OF THE BATON BECAUSE WHILE THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM FUNDING FROM THE 2018 BOND REFERENDUM IS DWINDLING WITH THESE FINAL CLOSINGS, THE GREENSPACE PENNY HAS COLLECTED AS YOU'VE SEEN A $100 MILLION AND IS CONTINUING THE COUNTY'S INVESTMENT LAND PROTECTION. 
          SO YOUR ANNUAL REPORT INCLUDES A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THE GREENSPACE THE PENNY CAN CONTINUE THE LEGACY OF THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM. ARE THERE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RECENT CLOSINGS THE STATUS OF THE PROGRAM RIGHT NOW YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THOSE FINAL PROPERTIES FROM AMANDA AND A LITTLE BIT. YEAH, MR. CHAIRMAN, SO YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ITEMS ARE ON OUR AGENDA WHICH COME OUT TO $1,432,000 AND AN ITEM FOR DISCUSSION WITH WHICH INCLUDES NORTHWEST JORDAN WHICH IS ANOTHER 2.2. 
          AND SO WE HAVE YOU HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS IN RURAL AND CRITICAL FOR THAT FOR THAT AND NOTHING MORE. 
          GOT DOWN TO THE PENNY WHICH IS BETTER HAVING DEBT RIGHT CORRECT YES BUT I JUST CHECKED IT. YES YES THAT'S ANY OKAY. NO QUESTION IN THE OKAY I WOULD THANK YOU. WELL I HAVE I HAVE A COUPLE MORE THINGS AND BUT YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO GIVE HANDOUTS BEFORE YOU TALK ABOUT THEM SO YOU'LL GET THEM AND THEN THE NEXT IS A DRAFT REPORT BY THE NUMBERS AND. SARAH HAS ELECTRONIC COPIES OF THIS FOR YOU TOO BUT BASICALLY WHAT WE'VE ATTEMPTED TO DO IS CONDENSE SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF THE PROGRAM TO METRICS CONSERVATIVE IN NATURE BUT THINGS THAT COUNTY CAN USE IN PUBLICITY AND IN OUTREACH TO SHOWCASE THE VALUE OF LAND PROTECTION INVESTMENT BECAUSE THE VALUE THE MONEY THAT WE'VE SPENT IN LAND PROTECTION HAS NOT JUST GONE TO PROTECT LAND, IT'S GONE TO CREATE PASSIVE PARKS AND PUBLIC ACCESS OPPORTUNITIES. 
          IT'S GONE TO PROTECT FOR US TO PROTECT FARMS, TO PROTECT OVER 102 MILES OF SHORELINE WHICH IN COUNTY IS AN EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO COME BY COMMODITY THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR THE PUBLIC THAT HAS PUBLIC BENEFIT. IT'S GONE TO SUPPORT A TOURISM INDUSTRY. 
          WE KNOW TOURISM BRINGS OVER 3 MILLION VISITORS HERE AND THAT DEPENDS ON CLEAN FISHABLE SWIMMABLE WATERS. IT'S BOOSTED PROPERTY VALUE, IT'S INVESTED IN WETLANDS PROTECTION WHICH SAVES US AT THE IN OUR MOST VULNERABLE POINTS WITH STORM SURGE AND SEA LEVEL RISE AS WELL AS INCREASED HURRICANES IT PROTECTS SPECIES AND WE HAVE BIRD COUNTS EVEN THAT ARE CROWD SOURCED FROM USERS OF OUR PASSIVE PARKS 188 BIRD SPECIES IN ALL TIME AT WHICH END POINTS IF YOU OUT AND YOU SEE A RARE BIRD MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT IN THERE SO WE CAN ADD IT TO THAT AND PROVIDES OVER 78 MILLION AND CO-BENEFITS FROM ECOSYSTEM SERVICES SO WE START TO VALUE THINGS LIKE WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE CLEAN AIR? WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE CLEAN WATER? WE KNOW IT MEANS MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS RETURNED IN BENEFIT BE FOR COUNTY TAXPAYERS. SO FOR THE INVESTMENT WE'VE PUT INTO THE PROGRAM AND THE LAND ITSELF WE'RE RECEIVING THESE CO-BENEFITS IN RETURN AND BECAUSE THESE LANDS ARE PROTECTED FOREVER WE WILL KEEP RECEIVING THEM NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE. SO THERE IS A LITTLE HANDOUT FOR YOU AS WELL ABOUT THOSE CO-BENEFITS AND ALL OF THIS WILL BE AVAILABLE ONLINE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH COUNTY STAFF TO PUBLICIZE AND SHARE THIS INFORMATION. SO YOU MENTIONED THE MILITARY IS INCLUDED IN THE PARTNER FUNDS JUST INVESTED SO FAR SO 46 MILLION HAS BEEN THE TOTAL OF DIRECT CASH PAYMENTS WHICH DOES INCLUDE THE MILITARY. AS YOU KNOW WE'VE HAD A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SINCE 2006 AND THEY PAY CASH AT CLOSING AND IT MATCHES A LOT OF THE TIME THE RURAL AND CRITICAL INVESTMENT WHAT THAT 46 MILLION IN PARTNER DOLLARS ACTUALLY DOESN'T INCLUDE IS THE LANDOWNER DONATION WHICH IS IS ALSO POWERFUL. SO SOUTH CAROLINA HAS A HISTORY OF LANDOWNERS SELLING TO CONSERVATION AT A BARGAIN SALE WHETHER THAT BE AN EASEMENT OR A FEE WHERE THEY'RE DONATING VALUE TO BECAUSE LANDOWNERS LOVE THEIR LAND AND THEY WANT TO SEE IT PROTECTED AND SO THAT THAT DONATED VALUE IS ACTUALLY NOT REFLECTED IN THE 46 MILLION. 
          BUT I THINK IF WE EVER HAD AN INTERN OR SOMEONE WHO WANTED TO STUDY THAT WOULD ALSO REVEAL REALLY AMOUNTS FOR COUNTY. OKAY. ANY QUICK QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, MICHELE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 
          [01:35:03]
THANKS. HI. I JUST WANTED TO DOVETAIL ON KEITH'S ANNUAL REPORT. AMANDA IS HANDING OUT AN UPDATE OF THE BUDGET. 
          THINGS HAVEN'T HAD A NICE SEGWAY QUESTION THERE INTO THE REMAINING FUNDS AND WHAT IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS SET UP SO THAT I UNDERSTAND IT SO IT MIGHT NOT BE EXACTLY WAY IT NEEDS TO BE SET UP FOR EVERYBODY ELSE TO UNDERSTAND IT BUT I'LL JUST GIVE YOU A QUICK WALK THROUGH. SO I DID LEAVE FISCAL YEAR 24 CLOSE OUT AT THE TOP RATE SO THAT YOU SEE WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SPENT LAST FISCAL YEAR AND THEN FISCAL 25 ACTUAL IS WHAT I PULLED AS OF LAST MONDAY. SO THE NUMBERS MIGHT BE JUST A TINY BIT OFF TODAY DEPENDING ON OTHER INVOICES OR THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PAID SINCE THEN. ROUGHLY GOING INTO THIS WE HAD FIVE AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS IN THE RURAL AND CRITICAL BOND ACCOUNT. 
          YOU'LL SEE ON THE TOP WHERE IT SAYS FUNDING SPENDING SUMMARY THOSE ARE THE LIST OF PROJECTS. 
          SO AS RURAL AND CRITICAL RECEIVES APPLICATIONS AND MOVES FORWARD THROUGH THE PROCESS WE KEEP A RUNNING TALLY OF PROJECTS AS COME UP SO THAT WE'RE NOT OVERSPENDING FUNDS AND SO THAT WE'RE KEEPING IN MIND THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE AVAILABLE AND HOW MUCH THINGS ARE TO COST AND MAKING SURE WE'RE STAYING WITHIN BUDGET SO YOU'LL SEE THERE THAT ROSTRUM ROAD FEE WE JUST CLOSED ON THAT IN DECEMBER 18 THAT'S THE PROPERTY KAIT MENTIONED THAT IS ADJACENT TO THE CO-OWNED COUNTY AND PROPERTY ULTIMATE HERITAGE PRESERVE THE STATION PDR HAS A ZERO BALANCE BECAUSE THAT SELLER WITHDREW THEIR APPLICATION SO THAT IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING ELSE THE OPEN LAND TRUST IS WORKING WITH THE SELLER FOR A DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCE. WE ALSO HAVE FOUR PROJECTS A BEACH ROAD. 
          THERE IS A PROPERTY THERE THAT HAS HAD A TITLE ISSUE A NUMBER OF YEARS. 
          WE'RE STILL TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THAT. NOT SURE YET WHAT THE STATUS OF THAT IS. AND THEN THE THREE PROJECTS THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR TODAY SEASIDE ROAD DAVIS ROAD IN NORTH GWICH'IN THOSE ARE THE THREE THAT WE ARE ACTIVELY HOPING TO CLOSE ON BEFORE END OF FISCAL YEAR ANTICIPATED. AND SO SOME ANTICIPATED DUE DILIGENCE AND THEN SOME CLOSING COSTS. WE DO WANT TO KEEP THOSE IN MIND MOVING FORWARD. SO AGAIN WE DON'T GO OVER BUDGET AND END UP NOT HAVING MONEY TO ACCOUNT FOR DUE DILIGENCE AND CLOSING COSTS. YOU'LL SEE THAT WE'RE SPENDING PRACTICALLY ALL OF IT. THERE IS GOING TO BE A TINY LITTLE BIT REMAINING AVAILABLE THAT COULD GO INTO NORTH GWICH'IN OR IF THERE WAS SOME INTEREST LEFT OVER THERE WOULD BE A DECISION TO COUNTY COUNCIL AT A LATER DATE ON HOW TO HANDLE THE INTEREST THAT THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN GAINING AND SEE THAT IN FISCAL YEAR 25 WE HAVE ALREADY ACCUMULATED ALMOST $75,000 WORTH OF INTEREST. SO THERE WILL BE SOME DECISIONS AND SOME UPDATES UP TOWARDS THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR BUT FOR RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THESE PROJECTS AND GET EVERYTHING CLOSED AND AND THESE ARE THESE ARE THE THE LAST OF THE FUNDING AVAILABLE IN QUESTION. WE APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION. THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU AND WILL I GUESS LOOKS I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE THE RESULTS OF THE RETIREMENT OF THE BUILDING PRETTY GOOD BUT I HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING

FORWARD TO THE MONEY RUNS OUT. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THIS ISSUE FOR YOU BACK UP ON 14 AND THERE IS A NEED FOR MOTION FOR THIS DISCUSSION. YES THERE IS NO MOTION. 
          YEAH, NO MOTION. IT STILL TAKES A YES IT'S A MOTION TO DISCUSS TO DISCUSS IT. OH OKAY. YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO TAKE A MOTION TO DISCUSS THE ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY AND PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE FEASIBLE PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY IDENTIFIED IS IN TEXAS NUMBER ALSO KNOWN AS KNOWN AS NORTH WICHITA FEE ISN'T GREAT YOU'VE MR. DAWSON MOTION IN MR. MCMILLAN SECOND OKAY GO AHEAD I'M SORRY. OKAY SO IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN OUT TO WICHITA POINT PRESERVE AND YOU'VE WHAT PROPERTY YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THE POND FROM THE BIRD LINE YOU'RE LOOKING AT NORTH WINTON WHICH IS ABOUT 9.3 HIGH ACRES AND SURROUNDING HIGH MARSH AND AS SHOWN ON THIS MAP ADJACENT TO OUR WEDGE AND POINT PRESERVE . SO I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT THE BOARD HAS PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO WHAT THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM HAS DONE FOR COUNTY HOW TO SPEND THESE 
          [01:40:01]
REMAINING DOLLARS AND AS BEST AS POSSIBLE I THINK BOTH PRACTICALLY AND KIND OF SYMBOLIC AND THIS REPRESENTS ONE OF THE BEST POSSIBLE EXPENDITURES FOR THE REMAINING FUND WHICH IN POINT PRESERVE ITSELF TO THIS TO THE SOUTH IS 162 ACRE PASSIVE PARK THAT 7/8 BY THE COUNTY AND ONE EIGHTH BY THE URBAN LAND TRUST PURCHASE WAS FUNDED PRIMARILY BY THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM BUT ,ALSO BY A CONTRIBUTION FROM THE STATE CONSERVATION BANK AND THE PROPOSAL FOR NORTH WICHITA IS NOT DISSIMILAR AND THE LANDOWNERS APPLIED TO THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM BACK IN SEPTEMBER AND THE RURAL AND CRITICAL BOARD APPROVED DUE DILIGENCE AND REQUESTED AN APPRAISAL BE COMPLETED WHICH HAS COME BACK AND THEN COMPLETED AND WE ALSO THE URBAN LAND TRUST APPLIED ON THE LANDOWNERS BEHALF THE GREEN SPACE PROGRAM AND IS APPLYING TO THE STATE CONSERVATION BANK BY THE END OF THIS MONTH. 
          AND THE PREMISE FOR A DISCUSSION IS THAT THE REMAINING AVAILABLE FROM THE RURAL AND CRITICAL BANK ACCOUNT WHICH ARE NOW AROUND 2.2 MILLION WOULD BE APPLIED TOWARD THE PURCHASE PRICE OF NORTH WEDGE AND AND THE EXCESS WHICH IS ESTIMATED AROUND 500,000 WOULD BE SHARED BETWEEN APPLICATIONS TO GREENSPACE WHICH HAS APPROVED DUE DILIGENCE AND THE CONSERVATION BANK AND PART OF THE GREENSPACE DUE DILIGENCE OBVIOUSLY IS THEIR BOARD'S PREROGATIVE DECIDE HOW MUCH MONEY THEY'RE GOING TO PUT INTO IT KNOWING THAT DUE POINT IS ALREADY COMING FROM THE COUNTY TAXPAYERS JUST IN A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT AND THEN AGAIN HOPE HOPEFUL THE AWARD A SUCCESSFUL AWARD FROM THE STATE CONSERVATION BANK BUT GIVEN THEIR CONNECTION TO THE WEDGE AND POINT WE FEEL VERY STRONG AND CONFIDENT ABOUT OUR APPLICATION. WE THINK THIS IS A STAND OUT PROJECT FOR THE STATE CONSERVATION BANK AS WELL SO THAT'S THE LITTLE BIT OF A RUNDOWN ON NORTH WEDGE IN AGAIN JUST KIND OF TYING BOW ON THE RURAL AND CRITICAL EXPENDITURES ADDING TO AN EXISTING INVESTMENT AND ADDING TREMENDOUS PUBLIC BENEFIT WITH THE PROTECTION THE NEIGHBORING LANDSCAPE AND BRINGING TOGETHER A FUNDING PARTNER THIS HELPS CONTINUE THE BEST PARTS OF THE RURAL AND CRITICAL PROGRAM INVESTMENT FOR THE PUBLIC WITH FUNDING PARTNERS AND CARRIES THAT MOMENTUM FORWARD TO GREEN SPACE WITH THEIR PARTNERSHIP ON THE PROJECT SYMBOLICALLY AND AND ACTUALLY ON THE CLOSING WE'VE ALSO DONE TITLE WORK ON THE PROPERTY BECAUSE THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT OWNERSHIP AT THE DUE DILIGENCE VOTE AND THE TITLE WORK HAS COME BACK AND IS SATISFACTORY CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARD CLOSING SO ANY QUESTION I YEAH I HAVE A QUESTION HERE ON NUMBER 14 IN TALKING ABOUT 1.2 MILLION THAT'S GOING TO COST. SO THAT'S ABOUT 2.2.2. SO WE WE HAD ANOTHER ANOTHER PROJECT IN THE RURAL AND CRITICAL DUE DILIGENCE PIPELINE AND ON THAT WE REFERRED TO AS STATION CREEK PREVIOUSLY WE HAD ESTIMATED ITS EASEMENT VALUE AROUND 960,000 BUT THAT PROJECT THE EASEMENT TERMS CHANGED SUCH THAT IT BECAME MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM PROJECT THE BOARD RECOMMENDED SO THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE RURAL AND CRITICAL BOARD IS TO ALLOCATE THAT 900 AND SOME ODD THOUSAND TO NORTH WICHITA WHICH BRINGS THE NORTH AND THE RURAL AND CRITICAL CONTRIBUTION UP TO 2.2 MILLION ROUGHLY. AND AGAIN WE'RE USING CONSERVATIVE NUMBERS THE VOTE WOULD BE TO USE THE REMAINING MONEYS AVAILABLE IN THE RURAL AND CRITICAL ACCOUNT WE JUST ESTIMATE THAT OKAY BUT IF YOU OR IF YOU TAKE PAGES 143 ALL THE WAY TO 157 ALL THE COUNTY TAX RECORDS YOU ADD ALL THOSE PARCELS UP AND ONLY COMES OUT TO $858,000 SO I DON'T HAVE THE PAGES I DON'T HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE PAGES IN FRONT OF ME BUT I AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE BUDGET SHEET THAT STEPHANIE JUST PREPARED WE PRIOR TO THE WITHDRAWAL OF STATION CREEK EASEMENT HAD AROUND 1.2 THAT WE COULD ALLOCATE FOR NORTH WICHITA AND WITH THE REALLOCATION FROM STATION TO NORTH AND WE HAVE AROUND 2.2 AND THE INTENT IS TO APPLY THAT TO THE PURCHASE IT DOES NOT IT DOES NOT GET US TO THE APPRAISED VALUE OF NORTH WEDGE AND AND THAT'S WHY ALSO APPLIED TO GREENSPACE AND TO THE CONSERVATION BANK TO MAKE UP THAT DIFFERENCE. SO YOU SAID THE TITLE SEARCH HAS BEEN DONE AND THAT THAT'S GOOD. CORRECT. 
          WHAT ABOUT THE APPRAISAL? AN APPRAISAL HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND THAT'S HOW WE THAT'S HOW WE KNOW WHAT NUMBER WE HAVE TO GET TO PARDON. THE APPRAISAL CAME IN AT WHAT 2.7217. SO THIS IS WHERE I'M CONFUSED BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING 2.7 BUT 
          [01:45:04]
IF YOU ADD UP PAGES 143 TO 137 YOU COME OUT WITH $850,000 AND $700. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW WHERE I'M LOOKING AT IT. MAYBE I'M LOOKING WRONG BUT YOU'RE AT MY THE SYSTEM. YEAH, I THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE ASSESSED VALUE. 
          YEAH THAT'S A VERY DIFFERENT NUMBER THAN WHAT THE APPRAISED VALUE IS SO WE CAN GET THE ASSESSOR TO EXPLAIN HOW THEY COME UP WITH THAT NUMBER. BUT THOSE NUMBERS DO NOT RELATE TO THE CURRENT APPRAISED VALUE APPRAISAL TO COME IN AND AND SHOW US HOW WE CAME UP WITH THAT NUMBER. IT'S IN THE BACK UP, THE APPRAISAL IS IN THERE AND IT EXPLAINS HOW TO JUST ALWAYS THANK YOU. ARE THERE OTHER QUESTIONS? NO I WANT TO MOVE ON THIS BECAUSE THE MOTION TO ALLOW THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION TO MOVE FORWARD DOESN'T MEAN THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY THEY YOU WE WANT TO HEAR FROM GREENSPACE AS WELL INVERSE YEAH YEAH. SO ONE OF THE REASONS IS FOR DISCUSSION BEFORE YOU TONIGHT AND NOT FOR A VOTE IS BECAUSE WHILE RURAL AND CRITICAL HAS RECOMMENDED AND APPROVAL OF PURCHASED GREENSPACE IS STILL IN THE DUE DILIGENCE AND THE OUT APPLICATION TO THE CONCERN IS TO MAKE IT OUTSTANDING. 
          BUT WE WILL KEEP ABREAST OF ALL OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND THEN ONCE THEY YOU KNOW, ASSUMING THINGS ARE SUCCESSFUL WHICH I CERTAINLY WILL MAKE EVERY TO HAVE HAPPEN WILL BRING BACK A COMPLETED PROJECT TO YOU. OKAY. AND ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I WANT TO POINT OUT? COUNCIL STARTS IN 13 MINUTES AND WE HAVE TWO ITEMS TO GO.
