GOOD AFTERNOON. HOW ARE YOU ALL DOING TODAY? WELL SIR YOURSELF I'VE GOT A FANTASTIC I'VE GOT A PRESENTATION THAT HOPEFULLY I GUESS WILL AND WHAT WE'LL BE DOING IS BASICALLY SUMMARIZING THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT FOR FY 25 SO WITH THE CHANGE WE'VE ALSO HAD TO KIND OF DRAW A DIVIDING LINE AS TO WHAT IS CAPITAL PROJECT PROJECTS AND THEN WHAT IS GOING TO BE FACILITIES AS WELL. SO SEE ACTUALLY ON HERE WE'VE GOT 94 PROJECTS THAT WE'RE IN FY 25 THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY WE'RE MANAGING WE'VE BASICALLY TAKEN 13 OF THOSE AND HANDED THOSE OVER TO FACILITIES THEM TO DO.

THOSE ARE PROJECTS THAT THEY HAVE A BETTER ON LET'S SAY OR IN THEIR PURVIEW SO THEY WILL BE HANDLING 13 OF THOSE 94 PROJECTS WE CURRENTLY HAVE 57 IN PROGRESS, 23 THAT ARE IN THE NOT STARTED OR WAITING ON FUNDING STAGE FIVE ON HOLD AND NINE THAT ARE COMPLETED.

AND IF YOU LOOK ON THE NEXT SLIDE HERE WE BREAK IT DOWN BY DEPARTMENT AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE GOT QUITE A FEW OF COURSE WE WERE MANAGING ONE AIRPORT PROJECT.

THEY USUALLY DO MOST OF THEIR OWN. WE'VE GOT ONE WITH ANIMAL SERVICES, SEVERAL WITH ARPA PROJECTS, THREE THAT ARE LISTED UNDER CAPITAL PROJECTS CLERK OF COURT DETENTION CENTER AND AGAIN WE'RE JUST GOING TO BOB SORRY SPEAK OF JUST A LITTLE SURE SORRY SORRY. WE'VE GOT A DETENTION CENTER WHICH HAS QUITE A FEW PROJECTS THAT WILL GOING ON. WE'VE GOT THE STUCCO RENOVATION, SOME INTERIOR RENOVATIONS THAT BE TAKING PLACE AND DISABILITY AND SPECIAL.

WE HAVE SOME PROJECTS THAT ARE GOING ON THERE WITH REPAIR THEIR FACILITIES AS WELL AS SOME OF THEIR DOORS AND HOMES FACILITY MANAGEMENT MANAGERS. AGAIN THERE'S SOME THAT ARE LISTED UNDER THERE BUT THOSE INCLUDE SOME LIKE THE ADMIN BUILDING RENOVATION AND AGAIN YOU CAN SEE ON HERE WE HAVE QUITE A FEW WITH PARKS AND RECREATION WE HAVE 24 ONGOING PROJECTS WITH PARKS AT $38 MILLION AND AGAIN SOME OF THAT IS INCLUDED THE BRAES PROJECT

[00:10:07]

SO THAT'S UNDER UNDERWAY RIGHT NOW. THE NEXT SLIDE IS THESE ARE SOME OF THE PROJECTS WERE COMPLETED EARLY IN FY 25. WE HAD THE DETENTION BODY SCANNER WHICH YOU CAN SEE A PICTURE OF IN THE BOTTOM CORNER THERE THAT THAT WAS A NICE PROJECT THAT THERE NOW HAVE THE ABILITY TO SCAN DETAINEES AS THEY COME THROUGH.

WE ALSO HAVE THE BURTON WELLS CONCESSION STANDS THAT WERE RENOVATED THIS YEAR REGISTRAR OF DEEDS RECORDS ROOM WHICH IS A PICTURE OF IT THERE THE NEW THE RECORDS ROOM WAS ACTUALLY CONSOLIDATED DOWNSIZED BECAUSE MOST OF COURSE IS BEING DIGITIZED SO THEY HAVE A SMALLER RECORDS ROOM NOW BUT THEY HAVE NEW COMPUTER DESK WITH THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GAIN SOME SPACE AND WE WERE ABLE TO RELOCATE IT WAS KIND OF A FLEX SPACE BUT WE HAVE DEAC THAT WAS MOVED INTO THAT OFFICE SPACE CURRENTLY SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE THEM HERE, THEIR ADMINISTRATION IS HERE AND THEN THEIR VITAL RECORDS WAS MOVED OVER THE DSS BUILDING.

WE'VE ALSO COMPLETED THE SHOW POINT WALKING TRAIL RESURFACING AND THE WHITEHALL PARK PHASE TWO DOCK AND CAUSEWAY AND YOU CAN SEE PICTURE THERE AND SOME OF THE ACTIVE PROJECT JUST AS A NOTE WE'VE GOT THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING OF COURSE WHICH WAS APPROVED LAST IT'S CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH PROCUREMENT CENTER'S ARTHUR HORN PARKING LOT AS NOTED EARLIER IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. IF YOU'VE SEEN THE BIG MOUNDS OF DIRT THAT ARE OUT THERE AND ALL THE NICE THINGS THAT THEY'RE FINDING FROM 50 YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION THAT ARE UNDER THE DIRT THAT WE COMPLETED THE PURCHASE OF TO 47 ROBERT SMALLS THE OLD BELL THAT THE BABCOCK BUILDING THAT WILL BE FOR DECK WE WILL BE RENOVATING THAT SPACE AND MOVING DEAC INTO THERE WITH THEIR ADMIN AND VINYL RECORDS AS WELL.

BLUFFTON RECREATION CENTER REMODEL JUST GOT APPROVED LAST MONTH AND THAT AGAIN WILL BE UNDERWAY SOON BUCKWALTER RECREATION AND ATHLETIC COMPLEX IS MOVING FORWARD.

CHARLES LYNN GYMNASIUM IMPROVEMENTS AGAIN THERE'S A HOST OF DIFFERENT PROJECTS WE'VE ABOUT FIVE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT'S GOING ON AT CHARLES LYNN BROWN AND THOSE ARE ALL EITHER PROCURED OR GOING THROUGH A FINAL BID PROCESS.

AND NEXT SLIDE WE'VE ALSO GOT THE AMC RALEIGH POOL RENOVATION THAT'S MOVING AHEAD NICELY.

WE'VE HAD WE DID HAVE A FEW THINGS THAT HAVE CAUSED SOME SLOWDOWN BUT THAT IS A VERY UNIQUE PROJECT AND HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

OKATIE RIVER PARK MOVING ALONG NICELY STATION 39 JUST WENT THROUGH APPROVAL LAST MONTH AND THE SOUTH SIDE PICKLEBALL AND TENNIS COURTS WE'RE HOPEFULLY FINISHING UP SOME FINAL ON THE PICKLEBALL AND ACTUALLY TODAY WE HAD NEW FENCING GOING IN ON THE OLD TENNIS COURTS AND PUBLIC WORKS WAS OUT THERE ADDING GRAVEL TO THE PARKING LOT AND LAST WE'VE GOT THE DETENTION CENTER STUCCO REPAIR WHICH WILL BE A BIG PROJECT THAT WE'LL BE UNDERTAKING SOON IF I IF I CAN GO BACK TO THE SOUTH SIDE PICKLEBALL COURTS I'VE ACTUALLY HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE REACH OUT ME APPARENTLY THEY'RE CLOSED AT ONE POINT. YEAH THEY'RE CLOSED ALL WEEK THIS WEEK. OKAY ARE IS THERE AN IDEA OF WHEN IT WOULD BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SO THE EXISTING PICKLEBALL AND TENNIS WILL BE OPEN AGAIN NEXT WEEK PENDING WEATHER THIS WEEK. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE ANTICIPATING BEING DONE BY FRIDAY AS FAR AS THE NEW PICKLEBALL. SO WHAT THE ISSUE THERE IS THAT THERE WERE SOME SURFACE SO THEY DO A TEST AND THEY HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN GUIDELINES WITH THE WEATHER.

THEY WERE NOT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS DURING THE BAD WEATHER.

IT HAS TO HAVE GOOD CURING CONDITIONS FOR THE SURFACE SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE COMPLETING THOSE REPAIRS AND THEN APPLYING A NEW TOPCOAT TO THE SURFACE. THANK YOU.

ABSOLUTELY. THE STRUCTURE OF THE QUESTION PLEASE THE M.S. BRADLEY BLUFFTON POOL RENOVATION YOU SAID THAT WOULD BE DONE WITH. SO WE HAVEN'T ANTICIPATED APRIL THE FINISH DATE FOR THE CONTRACTOR WOULD STILL NEED TO GET DIRECT TO INSPECT AND SO AS FOR A SOLID DATE I DO NOT HAVE THAT BUT IT HAS BEEN EXTENDED OUT TO APRIL THERE WERE SOME

[00:15:04]

IT IS A PROTOTYPE AND THIS DESIGN OF COURSE HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THE OTHER FACILITIES WELL SO THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT WE'VE HAD TO WORK THROUGH OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS TO GET THAT MOVING FORWARD. AND WHEN DID WE CLOSE THAT I REMEMBER IT WAS DURING BUDGET SEASON LAST TIME IT'S BEEN A WHILE I'M NOT SURE THE EXACT DATE BUT I CAN FIND OUT FOR YOU. YEAH, YEAH. SO IT'LL BE OPEN FOR THE SUMMER FOR THE CHILDREN. YES MA'AM. AND OKATIE RIVER PARK.

WHAT'S A TIMELINE ON THAT? I DO NOT HAVE A SOLID TIMELINE ON THAT BUT I WILL DEFINITELY FIND OUT AND UPDATE YOU. I WAS JUST CURIOUS AND STATION 39 WE APPROVED A DESIGN BUILD.

THAT'S CORRECT. IS THAT IS THAT GONE TO THE CONSTRUCTION GUY SO AND SO FOR DESIGN IT HAS NOT IT IS IT WOULD STILL BE TO DESIGN FIRST SO IT WOULD NOT BE GOING TO CONSTRUCTION YET. SO WE'RE WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH PROCUREMENT WITH THAT AND THEN IT WILL GO TO DESIGN. OKAY. THANK YOU.

YES, MA'AM. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I APPRECIATE IT.

THANK YOU. CHUCK, DID YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ONE? SO YES, SIR. SO THIS IS A FIRST BLUSH AT DOING THIS TYPE OF UPDATE WITH THIS MANY PROJECTS. OBVIOUSLY IT WOULD BE IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR US TO GO THROUGH EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE PROJECTS IF COUNCIL HAS ANY FEEDBACK WHAT YOU WANT THIS REPORT TO LOOK LIKE IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR THINGS THAT WE CAN OFFER DURING THIS TIME WE'LL BE HAPPY TO DO IT. SO THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT THANK YOU FOR YOU. YEAH, I APPRECIATE YOUR STATEMENT BUT WHAT WOULD BE I'M TRYING TO I'M TO FOLLOW AND THIS JUST TO PROJECTS BY THE DEPARTMENT THAT DOES TAKE SOME OF THE FIRE STATION WHAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL WOULD BE WHICH FIRE IS A PART OF THAT THREE.

SURE SO WHAT WE CAN DO ALONG WITH THIS REPORT IS GIVE YOU A SPREADSHEET THAT SHOWS ALL OF THEM WITH PARTICULARS. WE WON'T GO THROUGH IT AT THIS MEETING BUT WE HAVE PROVIDED THAT AS PART OF THE BACK END TABLES IS JUST SO THAT WE CAN KNOW THAT AT LEAST I KNOW THAT YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING IN MY DISTRICT. ABSOLUTELY.

I CAN DO THAT. WE'LL GIVE YOU THE ADDRESS AND THE SPECIFICS AT A HIGH LEVEL ON A SPREADSHEET. THAT WAY YOU'LL YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE THEM AT A YES SIR WE CAN DO THAT. THAT'S OKAY. WELL YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE GOING TO REPORT LIKE ONCE A MONTH IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YES, MA'AM.

I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO EACH ONE AND JUST SAY WHAT PROGRESS WAS MADE FROM THE LAST TIME AND SOME MIGHT SAY WELL WHERE ARE WE ON KNOW JUST WHAT PROGRESS IS MADE IN BETWEEN THAT'S PERFECT. THAT KIND OF HELPS US. ABSOLUTELY OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, SIR. YES, JARED, I DO HAVE ONE LAST THING TO ADD JUST A PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT MOSTLY BECAUSE EVERYBODY WILL HEAR THIS AND SPECIFICALLY YOU CHAIR COULDN'T HAVE SO LAST AS I'VE TALKED BEFORE THAT SAYS FIVE STUDIES THAT THEY'RE DOING WITHIN THE AREA. COUNTY IS WORKING ON THREE OF THOSE BUT THEY'RE WORKING ON TWO. ONE IS THE SOUTHERN PART SC 46 AND 170 IN SOUTHERN JASPER. THE OTHER ONE THAT LATZ IS WORKING ON IS BLUFFTON ITSELF.

[00:20:04]

[7. 2018 ONE-CENT TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX UPDATE - Brittanee Bishop, Program and Finance Manager & Jennifer Bragg, J. Bragg Consulting, 2018 One-Cent Transportation Sales Tax Program Manager]

YEAH LET'S GO RIGHT TO NUMBER SEVEN. SO ITEM SEVEN IS OUR $0.01 SALES TAX. SO BRITTNEY AND JENNIFER, THEY'VE BEEN UP HERE SEVERAL TIMES AND THIS IS AS A REMINDER OUR QUARTERLY REPORT WE GET ALL OF OUR DOCUMENTS AND REPORT THE MONTH AFTER THE QUARTER. SO THAT IS WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY FOR YOU GUYS TO HAVE THAT REPORT. GOOD AFTERNOON. HI, HOW ARE YOU? I'M GOOD. HOW ARE WE CELEBRATING THIS TODAY, MR. GLOVER? IS THIS LOUD ENOUGH FOR YOU? YES. YES.

OKAY. DOES EVERYBODY HAVE A HANDOUT PRESENTATIONS EVERY GREAT SO JUST FOR EVERYBODY WHO'S WATCHING ON TELEVISION TODAY MY NAME IS BRITTANY BISHOP.

I AM THE PROGRAM AND FINANCE MANAGER COUNTY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.

ME AND MY JENNIFER BRAGG ARE MANAGING THE 2018 SALES TAX REFERENDUM.

YOU GOT THE SLIDES OR DO I NEED TO CLICK? OKAY.

SO JUST AN UPDATE FOR TODAY. THANK YOU AN UPDATE FOR TODAY AND ALL THIS IS GOING TO BE POSTED ONLINE AT WW W DOT COUNTY PENSACON AS REMINDER IN 2018 OUR CONSTITUENTS PASSED A $120 MILLION TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX. 80 MILLION OF THAT WAS TO GO FOR THE U.S. TO 78 CORRIDOR PROJECT. 30 MILLION OF THAT IS DEDICATED TO NINE PROJECTS ON LADY'S ISLAND AND THEN 10 MILLION OF THAT WAS DEDICATED TO 24 LOCATIONS. FOR SIDEWALKS AND MULTI-USE PATHWAYS IN ORDER TO CONNECT THE COMMUNITY TO OUR PUBLIC ASSETS. SO JUST QUICKLY KIND OF GOING OVER THOSE FINANCIALS SO THE BALLOT AMOUNT THIS IS BOTH WHAT WAS CURRENT, WHAT WAS PASSED AND THE WHAT CURRENT BALANCE IS IS SOMETHING THAT WE CONTINUE TO HEAR IS IS THE MONEY STILL IN THE BANK? YES, THE MONEY STILL IN THE BANK, YES.

WE ARE SPENDING IT. YES. PROJECTS ARE GOING HOWEVER THIS IS GIVING YOU THAT THAT CURRENT BALANCE OF THOSE ACCOUNTS JUST KEEP IN MIND THE IN 2022 WE PASSED AN ORDINANCE TO ALLOCATE SOME OVER COLLECTION TO THE SIDEWALKS AND MULTI-USE PATHWAY PROGRAM. SO THAT ONE IS APPROXIMATELY $26 MILLION AND RIGHT NOW I THINK WE ARE AT 12 LOCATIONS FOR SIDEWALKS AND MULTI-USE PATH AND THEN HERE IS KIND OF A LITTLE CHEAT SHEET. WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO MORE DETAILS WITH FINANCIALS, THE WEBSITE THIS WILL BE PRESENTED IN A MORE IN-DEPTH QUARTERLY UPDATE IN THE FUTURE.

THIS IS JUST WHAT WE PULLED FOR THE FISCAL YEAR. SO LOOKING AT EVERYTHING HAVE EXPENDED TO DATE ABOUT $33.7 MILLION AND THAT INCLUDES DESIGN, PERMITTING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FINANCIALS? WANT ME TO GO INTO ANY MORE IN DEPTH FOR THIS SECTION OR EVERYTHING LOOKS PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PROJECT DEVELOPMENT. MR. GATSBY OF SPOKE TO THE LONGEVITY OF PROJECTS DEVELOPMENT AND HOW IT TAKES A WHILE FROM DESIGN TO RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITION LAND AND THEN OF COURSE THE ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION COMPONENT SO I'M GOING TO ASK JENNIFER TO COME UP AND KIND OF GIVE YOU ALL A DEBRIEF ON THAT.

SO THIS IS A LITTLE THIS IS THE SAME SLIDE YOU'VE SEEN BEFORE. YOU KNOW, IT TALKS ABOUT THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS WITHIN EACH CATEGORY. SO THE LONG LEAD ITEM DESIGN ANOTHER LONG LEAD ITEM BEFORE WE EVER GET TO CONSTRUCTION IS OF WAY ACQUISITION.

SO TYPICALLY WHEN WE START RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION IS WHERE WE CONSIDER PLANS OR APPROXIMATELY 70% DESIGN AND THE REASON FOR THAT REALLY YOUR DESIGN IS DONE SO BETWEEN SAY A 70% PLAN SET AND YOUR FINAL CONSTRUCTION PLAN. SO WE'RE WORKING ON FINAL QUANTITIES, WE'RE WORKING ON PAVEMENT MARKING AND SIGNING TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS.

THOSE ITEMS THAT WOULD AFFECT RIGHT OF WAY SO YOU'RE STARTING RIGHT OF WAY LIKE I SAID ABOUT 70% BUT YOUR DESIGN IS COMPLETE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION DEPENDING UPON A SIMPLE PROJECT CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 4 TO 6 MONTHS. THE REASON BEING AS YOU'RE TYPICALLY DOING TITLE OPINIONS YOUR APPRAISAL APPRAISAL REVIEWS OR NEGOTIATIONS BEFORE

[00:25:02]

IT'S A CDBG GRANT OR IF IT'S SAY A TAP GRANT WHERE WE NEED DANTE'S INVOLVEMENT.

SO THEN WITH THIS WHAT ELSE IS INVOLVED? WE'VE GOT TWO GUIDING DOCUMENTS THAT WE'VE MENTIONED BEFORE. ONE IS THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN COUNTY NCDOT THIS DOCUMENT IS ON THE WEBSITE THAT UNDER THE RESOURCES THIS GUIDES EVERYTHING WE DO ON THE PROJECTS BECAUSE PRETTY MUCH EVERY PROJECT IN THE SALES TAX PROGRAM FOR A FEW ARE ON DOT SYSTEM SO WE ARE DESIGNING THEIR STANDARDS WE'RE INCORPORATING THEM THROUGHOUT ENTIRE PROCESS FOR REVIEW. SO WHEN WE GET THROUGH WITH DESIGN THEY'RE AGREEING TO THE DESIGN OF THE PROJECT. THEY'RE TELLING US YES WE AGREE THE DESIGN IS COMPLETE.

YOU CAN GET IT ALL RIGHT IF WE ACQUISITION SAME THING WITH CONSTRUCTION WE AGREE THE PLANS ARE 100% DESIGN WE AGREE WITH THE QUANTITIES HERE'S YOUR CONSTRUCTION YOU CAN GO TO CONSTRUCTION LIKEWISE THE SALES TAX PASSED THE RESOLUTION THERE IS A RESOLUTION BY COUNTY COUNCIL FOR ALL THE PROJECTS IN THE SALES TAX PROGRAM. IT TALKS ABOUT THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION TALKS ABOUT TWO PUBLIC MEETINGS PER PROJECT, EVERYTHING ELSE AND AGAIN THIS DOCUMENT IS ALSO ON THE COUNTY SALES TAX SIDE. ANY QUESTIONS WITH EITHER OF THOSE? OKAY. SO YOU'VE SEEN THIS TIMELINE.

WE'RE GOING TO KEEP IT WE'RE JUST GOING TO KEEP ADDING TO IT SO RECENTLY SINCE WE STARTED THE FIRST OF THE YEAR WE'VE ACTUALLY HELPED TO PUBLIC MEETINGS.

ONE WAS ON BIG ESTATE ROAD THAT WAS FINE BECAUSE WE HAD TO SCRAMBLE.

IT WAS THE WEEK IT WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR THE WEEK WHEN THE SNOW HAPPENED SO WE HAD TO POSTPONE IT TO THAT TUESDAY AND THANK GOODNESS FOR THE COUNCIL MEMBER HE ALSO HELPED GET THE WORD OUT THAT THE MEETING WAS BEING POSTPONED BECAUSE WE HAD NO WAY TO GET OUT THERE TO GO UPDATE THE SIGNS BUT WE STILL HAD A GOOD TURNOUT ON THAT TUESDAY.

THE COMMUNITY IS VERY APPRECIATIVE THEY'RE READY FOR THE PROJECT TO GET STARTED AND THEN HERE RECENTLY WE HAD ANOTHER PUBLIC MEETING FOR THE HAZEL GAY SUNSET MILLER STREETSCAPE PROJECTS. THAT PUBLIC MEETING JUST CLOSED SO WITH BOTH OF THESE WILL BE PULLING TOGETHER SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS TO BE SUBMITTED I'LL GET TO THAT. SO HERE ARE ALL THE LADIES OUT IN CORRIDOR TRAFFIC PROJECTS.

ONE THING WITH THESE PROJECTS IS THIS SO THESE PROJECTS BROUGHT FORWARD INTO THE SALES TAX PROGRAM AS PART OF THE 2017 LADY'S ISLAND CORRIDOR STUDY. THE STUDY WAS ORIGINALLY INITIATED BY THE CITY OF BEAUFORT BUT IT DID HAVE A COUNTY PARTNERSHIP WITH IT INVOLVEMENT COLLABORATION THE STUDY IS THE GUIDING DOCUMENT FOR THESE PROJECTS THAT WERE BROUGHT FORWARD INTO THE SALES TAX. THE CITY DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDING TO DO THE PROJECT SO IT WAS A STUDY THAT WAS COMPLETED AND NO FUNDING.

SO WITH THIS THE MAJORITY OF THESE PROJECTS WERE STREETSCAPES THAT WOULD BE SUNSET MILLER HAZEL FARM GAY AND EVEN TO SOME EXTENT THE MAINLINE CORRIDOR PROJECT IS A STREETSCAPE PROJECT AND WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT? SO ON SUNSET MILLER HAZEL GAY THEY ARE EXISTING TWO LANE ROADS THEY WILL REMAIN EXISTING TWO LANE ROADS WE ARE ADDING THE BEAUFORT SIDEWALK ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND A TEN FOOT SHARED USE PATH ON THE LINE THE LADY'S ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL ACCESS ROAD IS WHILE IT IS NEW ROAD MAKING A NEW CONNECTION WITH THE GAY DRIVE INTERSECTION ON SEA ISLAND. SO WE SEE ON THIS MAP WE ARE

[00:30:07]

THIS ROAD WILL ALSO BE A TWO LANE ROAD WHERE THE FIVE FOOT SIDEWALK ON ONE SIDE AND A TEN FOOT SHARED USE PATH ON THE OTHER SIDE GO AHEAD. WHERE IS WHERE IS THAT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ACCESS ROAD WHAT WAS STAGE OF PROGRESS IS THEN WHEN WE'RE IN RIGHT FOR ACQUISITION ON THE MIDDLE SCHOOL ACCESS ROAD WE ARE YES SIR OKAY I TWO QUESTIONS AT THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT WAS NOT ONLY THERE WAS NO THAT WAS NOT MENTIONED AT THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS IT OKAY SO WE HAD A PUBLIC MEETING IT THREE WEEKS AGO THAT ONE I CAN'T IT WAS IN NOVEMBER SO OF OUR PUBLIC MEETINGS WE PROVIDE A HANDOUT AND ON THAT HANDOUT IT'S GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THAT PROJECT IS ALONG WITH ESTIMATED ANTICIPATED TIMELINE OF WHERE WE ARE IN OUR CURRENT DEVELOPMENT. SO WHEN WE DID MAKE THAT PUBLIC PRESENTATION BACK IN NOVEMBER I BELIEVE I'M LOOKING THE DATE OKAY WE DID HAVE A TIMELINE ALL AGAIN ALL OF THE MATERIAL IS ON VIEW FOR COUNTY PENDING AECOM. I WAS REFERENCING THE ONE THAT WAS DONE ABOUT A AGO OH ONE ABOUT YEAH THE ONE LAST LAST MONTH WAS THE MILLER DRY AND SUNSET BOULEVARD STREETSCAPE ALONG WITH HIS FARM ROAD WHICH IS ACROSS COUNTY DIRT ROAD AND THEN GAY DRIVE SO LADIES ALL IN MIDDLE WAS ACTUALLY HELD IN MAY OF LAST YEAR IT WAS A JOINT MEETING WITH AIRPORT FRONTAGE ROAD PHASE TWO OH OKAY SO YEAH LADIES OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL WAS A WHILE. OKAY. THE ONE LAST WEEK WAS THE AIRPORT. SORRY. NOW YOU'RE GETTING ME CONFUSED.

IT WAS THE SUNSET MILLER HAZEL FARM GATE SO YES. OKAY.

YES, OKAY. YES. THANK YOU.

YES MISS. OUT TO QUESTIONS. YES LIGHT ANY GOING TO BE AT LADIES ON MIDDLE WE ARE PROPOSING TO DO STREET LIGHTING BUT REALLY THE STRAIGHT LINE IN THIS MORE FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TRAFFIC LIGHT SO WHAT WE HAVE STATED FAR AS THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND THE COORDINATION WE'VE HAD WITH D.O.T. IS TYPICALLY D.O.T. WILL NOT ALLOW A TRAFFIC SIGNAL TO BE INSTALLED UNTIL. IT MEETS THEIR WARRANTS CURRENTLY THE DAY IT OPENS RIGHT NOW DOES NOT MEET WARRANTS.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT WON'T CHANGE AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN WHEN IT OPENS WE WILL NOT GO IN COUNT TO SEE IF IT CURRENTLY IF IT WOULD MEET WARRANTS. I THINK IT'S GOT TO HAVE A LIGHT THERE EVEN IF THE SCHOOLS GO THERE. IT DOESN'T LOOK PRETTY TRUE.

SCHOOLS DO NOT NECESSARILY MEET THE WARRANTS BY THEMSELVES FOR A SIGNAL.

WELL THAT'S THAT'S GOT TO HAVE A LIGHT THERE THAT'S THAT'S WHY COUGAR RIGHT NOW HAS NO TRAFFIC SIGNAL IN ITS CURRENT CONFIGURATION AND THAT'S NOT MEET THE WARRANT AND THE OTHER QUESTION TO HANDS IS MERIDIAN ROAD OFF THE TABLE FOR A PATHWAY NOW IS IT STILL BEING CONSIDERED NO MAPS BEING DESIGNED BUT I DON'T SEE IT'S ALREADY BEEN DESIGNED.

YES MA'AM. WE GOT A LOT OF FEEDBACK PEOPLE IN ANSWER TO THAT JUST FOR YOU KNOW. I DID. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD DO. YEAH, BUT OKAY. I'M JUST CURIOUS.

WELL OH WE'RE RUDE TO RUDE TO POUR IT COMES INTO MERIDIAN THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE IS IT GOING TO BE A ROUNDABOUT STILL THERE. NO NO.

OKAY THIS THIS IS TRULY JUST JUST THIS TRULY THE PATHWAY FROM MERIDIAN JUST TO PASS BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF RUMORS GOING ON IN WEST I HAVE THREE I'M SORRY 10/1 IS TO SAY BROAD RIVER DRIVE WE HAVE A DATE YET THIS IN MY DISTRICT NOT AND WE WILL COORDINATE WITH YOU ON THAT. THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU, ESTHER YES, SIR.

SO JUST JUST TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS THE MEETING FOR SUNSET MILLER PARTICULAR I THINK THE 14TH WAS A CUT OFF FOR COMMENT CORRECT THIS PAST FRIDAY. AND SO YOU OUGHT TO BE BRINGING FORWARD RECOMMENDATIONS FOLLOWING THEIR THE PUBLIC COMMENT COMMENTARY.

YES. SO JUST SO YOU KNOW WE GOT A PETITION OF 200 PLUS SIGNATURES OUT THERE THAT THEY DON'T WANT THIS PROJECT. SO IS IT FEASIBLE THAT ONE OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS MAY BE TO SCRAP SAID PROJECT I WILL REVIEW EVERYTHING I'VE BUT WHEN THEY'VE COME IN I'VE JUST BRIEFLY READ THROUGH THEM BUT WE'VE NOT SAT DOWN AND GONE THROUGH EVERY COMET YET AND AS A REMINDER IS THE SECOND PUBLIC MEETING FOR SUNSET MILLER SO WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED PUBLIC ONE TIME WHEN THE PROJECT KICKED OFF AND THAT WAS A RESOUNDING NO TO THAT. NO IT WASN'T NO. WHAT YEAR WAS THAT YOU KNOW BUT I PRETTY MUCH THE ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD WAS HERE AND SIGN SIGNED A PETITION THAT THEY

[00:35:03]

I MEAN YOU DO HAVE TO SPEND SOME FUNDS. THERE'S NOTHING TO SHOW THE PUBLIC WE DON'T SPEND SOME TYPE OF MONEY ON THIS ON DESIGN. I MEAN EVEN WHEN WE DO ANYTHING ON BLUFFTON PARKWAY AND WE BRING THAT UP WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE OPTIONS OF FIVE B WE STILL HAVE TO SPEND FUNDS TO COME UP WITH DESIGNS TO PRESENT THEM AND THAT WAS A RESOUNDING NO BUT YES MA'AM I SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING FORWARD THAT THESE PROJECTS DERIVED FROM THAT STUDY THAT GOES BACK THAT WAS APPROVED IN 2017 WE'RE SO IN THERE TWO PROJECTS COMPLETED LADY'S ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL AND AIRPORT FRONTAGE PHASE TWO ARE BOTH IN RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION. WE'VE GOT THESE THREE PROJECTS IN DESIGN OBVIOUSLY THE ONES IN RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION. WE ARE WORKING ON THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION PLAN SO AGAIN THE PAVEMENT MARKING SIGNING TRAFFIC CONTROL, FINAL QUANTITIES THOSE TYPES OF THINGS ARE STILL ONGOING. PERMITTING PROCESS IS ONGOING WHILE THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION IS IN PROGRESS AS I MENTIONED IN DESIGN YOU'VE GOT THE HAZEL FARM GATE SUNSET MILLER AND THEN THE 21 CORRIDOR THE OTHER THREE PROJECTS WERE PLACED ON HOLD EARLY ON.

SO THE QUESTION YES REGARDING THE DESIGN PHASE I KNOW BEFORE I WAS ELECTED I WENT TO ONE OF THOSE DESIGN MEETINGS FOR SOME MILLER THERE I DON'T DID ANY OF THOSE DESIGNS JUST HAVE STOP SIGNS? NO. SO AT THE TIME AGAIN STOP SIGN ACTUALLY FALLS UNDER A DIFFERENT SAME TYPE. STOP CONTROL WARRANT ANALYSIS AND AT THE TIME IT DID NOT MEET THE WARRANTS FOR A STOP CONTROL AROUND ABOUT THIS PROPOSED ACTUALLY FALLS UNDER A TRAFFIC CALMING SOLUTION TO SLOW PEOPLE DOWN SO RIGHT NOW SUNSET IS A STRAIGHT THREE MOVEMENT SO YOU GET TO THE END OF THE ROAD AND YOU HAVE TO TURN RIGHT AND THE ONLY I'M ASKING THESE QUESTIONS I FIELDED A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS COMING IN AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE STOP SIGN IS THE MORE FEASIBLE ECONOMICAL SOLUTION RATHER THAN PUTTING IN GIANT ROUNDABOUTS AND TEARING UP WATERFRONT PROPERTY AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE.

SO I MEAN THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE AND WE CAN RE IF WE IF THERE WILLING TO SUPPORT THAT WITH THE SIDEWALKS AND THE SHARED USE PATH WE CAN REVISIT THAT WITH ALSO WITH D.O.T. AND IF THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED FROM PUBLIC INPUT I BELIEVE OUR STATE SHANNON ERICKSON STATE HOUSE REPRESENTATIVE HAS SUBMITTED A LETTER TO THE DOT SEE IF THEY'LL GET STOP SIGNS PUT IN PLACE AND MAYBE WE CAN GET THAT UP IF THEY DO BUT STOP SIGNS AND SEE IF THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. OKAY SO THIS IS WE'VE ADDED MORE INFORMATION TO THIS CHART SO YOU'LL SEE A CATEGORY OF WIND DESIGNS STARTED NOW ON IT VERSUS BEFORE WE WERE JUST REPORTING WEATHER WHEN IT WAS BEGINNING RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION OR WHEN IT WAS BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION ONE THING TO NOTE WAS SAM'S POINT TURN LANE WENT A LOT QUICKER IT ACTUALLY STARTED BEFORE BEFORE THE SALES TAX EVER PASSED AND IT WAS STARTED WITH IN DESIGN WITH IMPACT FEES. SO THAT'S WHY IT WENT TO CONSTRUCTION SO QUICKLY AFTER THE SALES TAX PASSED AND AGAIN THIS IS JUST AN UPDATE OF KIND OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE DESIGN PROCESS FOR THESE NOW SIDEWALKS AND PATHWAYS SO THE SIDEWALKS AND PATHWAYS WELL LET ME GO BACK ONE IF YOU NOTICE THERE ARE 24 LOCATION SIGNS 14 PRIORITIES EIGHT RECOMMENDED AND 17 LOCATIONS. SO OUT OF THAT 24 LOCATIONS IF YOU GO BACK TO THE BALLOT QUESTION, THERE ARE 24 NUMBERS ON THE BALLOT BUT IT ENCOMPASSES I BELIEVE LIKE 31 ROADS. SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND AND MAYBE NEED TO UPDATE THAT OOPS TO PUT ALMOST LOCATIONS. SO ORIGINALLY COUNTY COUNCIL KNEW THAT THAT $10 MILLION WOULD NOT GET EVERY PROJECT ON THAT BALLOT. SO THE ORIGINAL RESOLUTION

[00:40:02]

THAT'S WHEN A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS WERE BEGINNING TO GET UNDERWAY EVEN WITH THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN WE ENDED UP DOING A VIRTUAL MEETING AT TOWARDS THE END OF 2020 AND COMING OUT OF THAT MEETING AND WHAT CAME FORWARD TO COUNTY COUNCIL IN JANUARY OF 21 WAS A CHANGE IN THE PRIORITIES IN SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO MOVE FORWARD INTO DESIGN AND.

THIS WAS APPROVED AT BFC JANUARY 19TH, 2021 SO THE TOP LISTS WERE THOSE PROJECTS THAT WERE RECOMMENDED TO MOVE FORWARD INTO DESIGN. THE BOTTOM LIST WAS THESE ARE THE PROJECTS WANT TO MOVE FORWARD IF AND WHEN ADDITIONAL FUNDS AVAILABLE BUT THE VERY TOP PROJECT BURNT CHURCH ROAD BECAUSE THERE WAS ALSO A PROJECT ON THE IMPACT FEEL AS WIDEN THAT ROAD. THE RECOMMENDATION WAS TO REMOVE IT FROM THE PROGRAM AND INCORPORATE IT INTO THE WIDENING PROJECT SO IT IS STILL BEING DESIGN AS IS BEING INCORPORATED IN THAT WIDENING PROJECT. THE REASON BEING IF WE WERE TO PUT IN A TEN FOOT SHARED USE PATH ON BURNT CHURCH ROAD AND THEN YOU CAME THROUGH AND YOU DID A WIDENING PROJECT WERE GOING TO REDO IT, REDO IT SO THAT ONE WAS REMOVED.

THE REST OF THEM ARE PROCEEDING BLUFFTON PARKWAY OF COURSE IS COMPLETED BY ROAD THE PARRIS ISLAND GATEWAY IS COMPLETED ALL JOY WE'RE ALMOST THERE TO ADVERTISE FOR CONSTRUCTION THAT IS THE ONE THAT HAD THE TOP GRANT FUNDING FROM NCDOT WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE FINAL SPEC PACKAGE WITH THEM. THEY CHANGED THEIR SPEC PACKAGE AND RELEASED A BRAND NEW ONE.

SO WE'RE HAVING DO A COUPLE OF UPDATES THAT HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET THAT ADVERTISED IN MARCH AND IT WILL GO TO CONSTRUCTION AND SEVERAL OF THESE ARE UNDERWAY THE BOND AND PROJECTS ARE IN DESIGN NOW BUT THEY WERE STARTED LATER AND THEY STARTED ONCE RESOLUTION WAS PASSED TO APPLY THE ADDITIONAL COLLECTIONS TO PROJECTS.

MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAD ONE QUESTION SO YES MA'AM. SALEM ROAD THE ISSUE OF BOARDWALK THROUGH THE WETLANDS, CORRECT OR IS A BOARDWALK OVER THE CREEK DID YOU HAVE HAVE YOU IS THE WETLAND PERMITS BEEN APPLIED FOR ARE YOU STILL WE WILL GET THAT ONCE WE WE'VE GOT TO RESUBMIT TO THE DOT TO GET THEIR FINAL APPROVAL TO START RIGHT OF WAY. AND SO TYPICALLY WHEN WE GET THAT APPROVAL WE SUBMIT THE PERMITS BECAUSE AT THAT POINT WE KNOW THERE ARE NO MORE DESIGN CHANGES THAT COULD AFFECT THAT. YES, MR. LAWS YES. GOING BACK TO ALL JOY.

SO I'LL ENJOY YOU MENTIONED IT WAS A TATTOO THAT'S THE ONE WE SO WE'RE NOT USING ANY ANY FOR THAT BECAUSE IT'S ALL COMING FROM A FEDERAL GRANT, IS THAT CORRECT? WE'VE USED MONEY FOR DESIGN. WE'VE USED MONEY FOR PERMITTING .

WE'VE GOT A ONE POINT SO EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE PROJECTS ARE.

SO LET ME FLIP TO THE SLIDE HERE AND JUST GIVE ME A QUICK OVER I DON'T THINK A LITTLE DETAIL IT'S WHAT'S THAT WHAT EXACTLY WHICH IS THE NEXT QUESTION.

SO AS LONG AS WE KNOW THAT IS WE DO WE DO HAVE SEEN $0.01 SALES TAX MONEY THAT'S COVERED IN SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THE $0.01 SALES TAX COVER DESIGN AND COVERED PERMITTING WE'VE GOT THE 1.17 MILLION ALMOST 1.8 MILLION SEVEN 8 MILLION AND THE TAP GRANT THERE WILL STILL BE THAN LIKELY SOME SALES TAX FUNDING EVEN APPLIED TO CONSTRUCTION FOR THAT PROJECT BUT WE MANAGED TO GET LIKE I SAID ALMOST A $1.2 MILLION GRANT AND PART OF THAT QUESTION IS IS THE FURNITURE THROUGH WAS ALWAYS LIKE NUMBER ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE PROJECTS FOR THE COUNTY.

SO IT'S IN THE THE WIDENING PROJECT BUT I'VE JUST HEARD RECENTLY FROM SOME OTHER STAFF THAT FUNDING IS NO LONGER THERE SO WE THAT PROJECT IS NOT GOING TO MOVE FORWARD AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ONES. SO WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH WITH THAT? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. SO THE DESIGN CONTRACT FOR BURNT CHURCH ROAD, IT'S A WIDENING AND STREETSCAPE CONTRACT. IT IS IN DESIGN.

WE HAVE AN IGA THAT WE PASSED TOWARDS THE END OF LAST YEAR FOR NON SALES RELATED PROJECTS THAT KIND OF DUPLICATES OUR EFFORTS HERE WHERE WE GO STRAIGHT TO COURT HEADQUARTERS VERSUS THE DISTRICT HAVE ALL OF OUR APPROVALS DONE. SO WHERE YOU ARE APPROXIMATELY ABOUT 60% FOR BRANT CHARGE IT IS PAID FOR BY OUR IMPACT FEES THE 1999 IMPACT FEE ORDINANCE

[00:45:05]

HOWEVER ALL WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IS DESIGN FUNDS AS MOST OF THE FUNDING HAS GONE TO OUR OBLIGATION FOR US TO USE 78 ALL RIGHT. SO THE QUESTION IS OBVIOUSLY WE PUT MONEY ASIDE FOR ALL JURY THAT MONEY IS NOT BEING USED ANYMORE.

IT IS MONEY BEING USED TOWARDS CHURCH BECAUSE THAT'S ON THE LIST OF OF PROJECTS BE COMPLETED. SO WE'LL NEED TO LOOK AT THE FUNDING BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE ADDITION OF FUNDING THAT'S ON THE LIST IS FOR SOME OF THESE OTHER PROJECTS THAT MOVED INTO TO DESIGN AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEPARATE OUT THAT LIKE SHE EXPLAINED EARLIER SIDEWALK PEDESTRIAN ACCOMMODATIONS FROM THE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS OR WE'RE GOING TO BE SPENDING THE MONEY TWICE OKAY AGAIN JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT WAS THE NUMBER ONE COUNTY PROJECT FROM THE $0.01 SALES TAX OF 28. OKAY OKAY.

WELL BASED ON THE BASED ON MYTHS THAT WERE RECEIVED FROM THAT FIRST VIRTUAL B ORDINANCE THOUGH, IT HAS NUMBERS ASSIGNED TO EACH PROJECT JUST KIND REWATCHING PRIOR COUNCIL MEETINGS THERE WAS NO NUMERICAL ASSIGNMENT TO THE 14 PRIORITIES THAT WERE ESTABLISHED IN THAT ORDINANCE RIGHT. IT WAS PART OF 14 PRIORITIES 14 JUST MAKE MY 14 LOCATIONS.

YES SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I DO. I MEAN YOU FINISH OH I WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH A FEW OTHER THINGS BUT HAPPY TO CONTINUE TAKING QUESTIONS.

OKAY. OKAY. SO ONE THING WE WILL DO NEXT TIME WE'LL BE SIMILAR REORGANIZE THIS TO MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT MORE CLEAR OF WHICH ARE COMPLETED WHICH PROJECTS ARE IN RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION ,WHICH PROJECTS ARE IN DESIGN STILL SO ON AND SO FORTH KIND OF WE DID FOR THE LADY'S ISLAND PROJECT.

SO RIGHT NOW YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO LOOK AT THE PROJECT STATUS OBVIOUSLY AGAIN BLUFFTON PARKWAY IS RIBAUT ISLAND OR RIBAUT ROAD TO PARRIS ISLAND GATEWAY HAS COMPLETED A FEW THINGS TO KNOW WE ARE STILL IN RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION ON STEWART POINT ROAD WE ARE CLOSE TO GETTING THE MIDDLE ROAD RIGHT OF WAY AUTHORIZATION. WE HAD A PUBLIC MEETING FOR LAST YEAR D.O.T. I TALKED TO THEM. THEY'RE DOING SIGNATURES ONE DOCUMENT AND THEN WE SHOULD HAVE THAT AND BE ABLE TO START THAT A FEW OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED WHERE WE ARE REQUESTING IS DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DRIVE SIDEWALK PROJECT WE'RE REQUESTING THAT ANOTHER ONE IS BIG ESTATE ROAD WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO REQUESTING THAT THERE'S A COUPLE OF OTHER COMMENTS THAT HAVE TO BE ADDRESSED.

YOU MENTIONED SALEM ROAD. WE NEED TO RESUBMIT TO THE CITY TO REQUEST ON THAT.

ONCE WE GET THAT WE'LL START THE RIGHT OF WAY AUTHORIZATION SOME OF THESE WHEN WE ABOUT THIS AGAIN WE'RE COORDINATING WITH D.O.T. BECAUSE AGAIN THE END OF THE DAY IF WE'RE INSIDE THEIR RIGHT OF WAY EVEN WHEN WE PURCHASE RIGHT OF WAY WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO TURN IT BACK OVER TO THEM AT THE END OF THE PROJECT. SO WE CERTAINLY WANT THEIR APPROVAL SO THAT IF IT IS DESIGN TO THEIR STANDARDS AND CONSTRUCTED TO THEIR STANDARDS THEY TAKE IT OVER AT THE END OF THE PROJECT WHICH IS A REAL QUICK DEEP ROAD DESIGN IS COMPLETE AGAIN WE'VE GOT FEW UPDATES WE'RE PULLING TOGETHER AT THE BID PACKAGE L COGGIN COMMERCE CAME BACK AND SAID WE COULD ADVERTISE FOR CONSTRUCTION SO WE'RE WORKING ON THAT TO GO TO THEM TO GET THAT APPROVAL WHEN WE DO WE CAN ALSO ADVERTISE IT IN MARCH OR 1ST OF APRIL DEPENDING UPON THEIR APPROVAL. THAT'S OUR YOU KNOW, JUST A COMMENT AND I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR YOU ALL HAVE LIVED THIS BUT AS OUR ADMINISTRATOR HAS POINTED OUT PATHWAYS ARE NOT SIMPLE AND ARE NOT EASY. YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THESE DATES LIKE SALEM ROAD, SOME OF THE OTHERS THIS MONEY WAS APPROVED IN 2018 AND WE MIGHT NOT FINISH UNTIL 2027 AND WHEN SALES THE NEXT TIME WE DO TRANSPORTATION OR ANY KIND OF SALES TAX WE NEED TO BE REALISTIC ABOUT PATHWAYS HOW LONG THEY TAKE THE ACQUISITION OF RIGHT AWAY IT'S YOU IT OF COURSE WHEN WE HAD COVID RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS I THINK WE STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKING THIS LONG ON THIS PATHWAY SO JUST TAKE THAT MIKE MORRIS BROUGHT THAT UP TO ME. I, I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM BUT YOU LOOK AT THIS DATA AND I DO I'M SO RIGHT MOST PEOPLE THINK SIDEWALKS AND PATHWAYS ARE EASY, RIGHT?

[00:50:03]

THEY'RE NOT HEARING A LOT. SO WHAT'S HAPPENING? SO WE DID INFILTRATION SO MIDDLE ROAD WILL ACTUALLY HAVE INFILTRATION DITCHES TO ALLOW THE WATER TO DO WHAT IT'S DOING NOW WE'VE DONE THAT ON SOME OTHER PROJECTS BECAUSE AGAIN WE HAD NO OUTFALLS SO IT'S TRYING TO FIGURE OF THAT OUT HAS ADDED A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME ON THE DESIGN BUT YOU'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS WHAT WE CAN WITH THE PROJECT THAN THE FUNDING AND AND DO THIS THESE ARE REAL QUICK THREE THINGS ONE IS THE COMMENT ABOUT MIDDLE ROAD I HAD A CONSTITUENT THAT DEALT WITH SO MUCH FLOODING TOOK OVER A MONTH FOR THE WATER TO ACTUALLY RECEIVE FROM HIS HOUSE AND SO I KNOW THERE'S A STUDY THAT CAME OUT BACK IN MAY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT BUT I DON'T THINK IT REALLY ENCOMPASSES THE RUNOFF FROM THE STATE ROADS THAT ARE ON THAT AREA BECAUSE THEIR STORMWATER THAT ARE BACKING UP INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS SO I WENT OUT THERE FIRSTHAND AND SAW IT IT'S AS BAD. OKAY. WE TALK ABOUT THAT.

YES. SPECIFICALLY ON THAT PROJECT. ABSOLUTELY.

SO THAT IS COMMENT I WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF THE OTHER TWO THINGS.

ONE AND OUR STRATEGIC RETREAT WE DISCUSSED ABOUT I'M STANDING UP ANOTHER COMMITTEE TO KIND OF LOOK AT THE PRIORITIES AND SEE WHERE WE'RE AT AFTER THE LAST FAILURE FOR THE REFERENDUM TO ANALYZE IN 2018, HAS ANYBODY DISCUSS THAT WITH YOU? I'VE HEARD ABOUT THAT.

BUT REALISTICALLY RIGHT WITH THE FUNDING WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE LIST OF PROJECTS HERE, PRIORITIES WERE SET SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THE LIST WITH THE FUNDING THAT IS AVAILABLE WITH THESE PRIORITIES UNLESS WE COME BACK TO YOU AND SAY OKAY, NOW WE'VE ADDITIONAL FUNDS AVAILABLE, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE RIGHT NOW I'M NOT I'M NOT SURE HOW WOULD WANT TO CHANGE THE PRIORITIES BECAUSE THEY WERE THEY WERE ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED WITH THIS LIST THEY WERE AFTER THAT VIRTUAL PUBLIC MEANING WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION ON THE SIDEWALKS AND PATHWAYS SO RIGHT NOW THESE ARE THE PRIORITIES. I UNDERSTAND BUT THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO SAY. SO IF WE DO STAND UP COMMITTEE I GUESS IF THEY ANALYZE AND COME BACK WITH WITH REPORTS AND EVERYTHING ON OUR END HOW DOES THAT CHANGE CAN THAT CHANGE ANYTHING? I MEAN I'M JUST JUST I GUESS IT FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE YOU COULD CHANGE BUT THEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP ANY WORK THAT'S BEING DONE HERE TO ADD A DIFFERENT PROJECT AND JUST HALT IT WITHOUT COMPLETING? WELL, I THINK WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER WORKSHOP SPECIFICALLY TO TALK THAT AND WHAT I'VE TALKED WITH JENNIFER AND BRITTANY AND BRYAN ABOUT IS OUR JOB IS GOING TO PRESENT WHERE WE ARE ON PROJECTS AND HOW MUCH HAS BEEN EXPENDED WHAT'S LEFT AND BASICALLY CREATE A OLIVE CAR KIND OF BUFFET SELECTION NOW DIFFERENT DECISIONS IF WE IF WE CHOOSE TO STOP ON ONE OF THESE SIDEWALKS AND PICK UP A WHOLE NOTHER SIDEWALK, IT MIGHT BE CHEAPER BUT THERE'S A SCHEDULE INVOLVED IN THAT. BUT OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE INFORMATION FOR FOR WHETHER THE COMMITTEE OR COUNCIL HAVE THOSE DECISIONS MADE TO BRING SOME FINALITY TO 2018. AND MY LAST THING I SEE ON THE SLIDE THAT THAT WAS PRESENTED HERE WITH THE NUMBER OF BREAKDOWN THERE JUST SAYS TOTAL EXPENSES 3330 3,750,000 IS THE CHANGE WHEN YOU GO ON THE WEBSITE. IT HAS IT DOES HAVE BREAKDOWN OF EXPENSES. BUT IS THERE ANY WAY IN THE NEXT UPDATE WE CAN GET AN ITEMIZATION OF WHAT I MEAN DOT I THINK BROTHER SAID LAST TIME SEVEN OVER 17 MILLION WE PAID BACK TO DOT TO MANAGE THESE PROJECTS LIKE WE ACTUALLY GET AN ITEMIZED BREAKDOWN WHAT WHAT THEY'RE CHARGING US AND SAME THING WITH THESE OTHER CONTRACTORS CAN WE GET AN ITEMIZATION SO I TRIED TO DO THAT ON THIS ONE BUT IT WAS GOING ON IT WAS GOING ON TO LIKE FOUR SLIDES. I GOTCHA. SO SO MY SIMPLE SOLUTION WAS LET ME JUST SHOW YOU THE TOTAL FOR NOW BECAUSE AGAIN IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO GIVE YOU A HANDOUT

[00:55:08]

THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS THE OBLIGATION FOR THE 278 AND LIKE I SAID I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND BUT WE CAN SHOW THE PUBLIC EXACTLY WHERE THE MONEY'S GOING I THINK IT'LL IT'LL HELP YEAH AND WILL THAT WILL BE IN THE DETAIL THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED TO THE TO THE WEBSITE AGAIN IT JUST IT DIDN'T FIT ON THE SLIDES I CAN BREAK IT OUT IN TRENDS BUT AGAIN IT BE MULTIPLE SLIDES BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU COULDN'T READ IT. YEAH THANK YOU.

YES. YEAH YOU MY QUESTION IT NOW. YES SIR.

YEAH I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE LAYS OUT CORRIDOR TRAFFIC EXCUSE ME IMPROVE IT BUT YOU KNOW THE OTHER ONE THE THE YES AND MY MY CONCERN IS REALLY THIS FROM SEA ISLAND PARKWAY EIGHT OR TO SEA PARKWAY GOING NORTH OR GOING WEST TO BEAUFORT WE JUST CONTINUE THAT BUT TRAFFIC HADN'T REALLY CHANGE IS PROBABLY INCREASE SINCE THAT AND SO THIS WHOLE DESIGN WAS TRIED TO MOVE TRAFFIC AND HAVE A TRAFFIC FLOW IS I UNDERSTAND IT SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH THE TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING OFF BRIDGE COMING INTO THIS AREA HERE AND THEN MOVING FORWARD? MY QUESTION REALLY IS CAN WE READ SHOULD WE RETHINK THIS WHOLE ENTIRE ENDEAVOR BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO EVER COUNCIL SAID NO TO THE SEA ISLAND PARKWAY GOING THROUGH THE BRIDGE I DON'T SEE COUNCIL CHANGING THAT BECAUSE I THINK THE PUBLIC IS GOING TO COME BACK AND SAY WE TOLD YOU KNOW, SO HOW DO WE MOVE TRAFFIC COMING SAINT HELENA TO THIS AREA NEAR WALL GREEN AND DISPERSING THAT TRAFFIC BOTH WAYS.

HOW DO WE MOVE WITHOUT WHAT CAN WE DO NOW TO BUILD BETTER CAPACITY AND WHAT I SEE IS CAPACITY BUILDING IS ACTUALLY SEA ISLAND PARKWAY AND ABLE TO CAN WE BUILD IT ALL TO AND SEA ISLAND PARK WE COMING UP THERE TO HANDLE MORE TRAFFIC NOT EVEN CONSIDERING MOVING THAT TOWARD THE BRIDGE THE THAT THE BUSINESS SECTION DOWNTOWN BEAUFORT SO I'LL LET JARED JUMP IN IN A MINUTE AND I'M ASKING YOU KNOW FOR CAPACITY BUILDING NOW WHICH IS MAYBE EXPANDING ANOTHER LITTLE LANE THERE SOME WIDENING A ROAD SO SO WE ARE STILL DOING DESIGN WE'RE ABOUT 60 RIGHT WE'RE ABOUT 60% AND YOU ARE CORRECT FROM THE BUSINESS SECTION WAS REMOVED BUT REALLY EVEN UNDER THE CURRENT PROPOSED DESIGN THAT BUSINESS WAS LOOKING AT ADDITIONAL SHARED USE PATHS NOT WIDENING THAT SECTION AND WAS TRYING TO PUT IN SOME ACCESS MANAGEMENT COMBINED DRIVEWAYS WERE NEEDED THAT GOT REMOVED WE'RE STILL MOVING FORWARD THE PROBLEM IS WE'VE GOT TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET ON WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW COULD WE GET TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN AT LEAST BUY SOME RIGHT OF WAY AND PRESERVE IT SUCH THAT WHEN ADDITIONAL FUNDS BECOME AVAILABLE CAN WE GET TO CONSTRUCTION BUT WITH THE PLAN AT THE MAIN INTERSECT ACTION OF SEA ISLAND PARKWAY LADY'S ISLAND DRIVE WE'RE STILL PUTTING IN PROPOSING DUAL LEFT TURN LANES FROM ISLAND PARKWAY ONTO LADIES ISLAND DRIVE THERE'S DUAL LEFTS FROM THE PORTION OF SEA ISLAND BUSINESS GOING ON TO SAM'S POINT SO THE INTERSECTION IS STILL BEING IMPROVED WHERE. THE AIRPORT FRONTAGE ROAD COMES IN AN AIRPORT CIRCLE AND THAT TRAFFIC SIGNAL BY WAL-MART RIGHT NOW PRIOR TO THAT SIGNAL IT TAPERS DOWN TO ONE LANE. SO WE ARE STILL PROPOSING WIDEN THAT PORTION OF THE ROAD TO

[01:00:07]

NOW YOU STILL GOING TO TAPER DOWN TO ONE LANE GOING EASTBOUND BUT YOU AT LEAST GET MORE CARS THROUGH THAT SIGNAL. THE REST OF THE PROJECT IS STILL ACCESS MANAGEMENT AND PUTTING IN THE SHARED USE PATHS WHERE WE'RE TAKING OUT THE FIVE FOOT SIDEWALL AND WE'RE PUTTING IN A TEN FOOT SHARED USE PATH SO THAT WE WOULD HAVE THAT ON SAM'S POINT ROAD TO DOWN LADIES ISLAND DRIVE FROM BASICALLY THE HAZEL FARM GATE AND OUR HAZEL FORUM ON LADY SANDRA UP TO MILLER DRIVE WEST ON SAMS POINT THAT WHOLE CORRIDOR IS PROPOSED FOR TEN FOOT SHARED USE PATHS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD FROM THE INTERSECTION OF THAT INTERSECTION OF SAMS POINT LADY CELL SOUND ON THE ISLAND PARKWAY WE'VE GOT TEN FOOT SHARED USE PATHS ON BOTH SIDES TO THE INTERSECTION OF GAY DRIVE AND LADIES ISLAND MIDDLE SCHOOL FROM GAY DRIVE GOING OUT TO AIRPORT FRONTAGE ROAD WE WILL HAVE IT ON ONE SIDE AND WE WILL HAVE IT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROAD OPPOSITE FROM THE AIRPORT WHICH WILL CONNECT TO THE EIGHT FOOT SIDEWALL THAT WAS PUT ON AIRPORT PHASE TWO BEYOND THAT ALTERNATE YEAH AND THANK FOR THAT.

SO I THINK TO BRING THAT TO A SHORT I THINK WHERE WE'RE HEADED ON LADY'S ISLAND ALL THESE IMPROVEMENTS ON LADY'S ISLAND AND THE PATHWAYS BUT LADIES ALL IN PARTICULAR IS A IS A VERSION OF WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW ON TO 78 SO WE HAD OUR MAJOR PROJECT WE CAN'T AFFORD OUR MAJOR PROJECT. WE DIDN'T GET ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT AND WHAT CAN WE BUILD WITH THE FUNDS THAT HAVE AND SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE THE CAR THAT WE MENTIONED BUT IT ALSO MAY BE A SCENARIO WHERE OKAY WELL MAYBE LET'S FOCUS OUR FUNDING ON THE INTERSECTION THAT IS UNDER STRESS AND TRYING TO GET FOUR LANES ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE WAL-MART INTERSECTION IN THAT AREA AND MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ADD ONS THAT WE WOULD LIKE AND WE KIND OF THIS SET IT UP WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS NOW AND IF THERE'S EVER ANOTHER PROJECT WE CAN DO THAT LATER. AND THOSE ARE DISCUSSIONS THAT I HOPE WE CAN GET TO IN THE MARCH WORKSHOP AND REALLY GET DOWN TO WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO WITH THE FUNDS THAT WE HAVE AND THAT'S I WAS JUST WISHING I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOKING AT EVEN IF I LOOK AT THE FARM ROAD IF WE DON'T EVEN DO HERE'S A FARM ROAD EVER YET OR SUNSET BLUFF ROAD EVER YEAH WE STILL GOT TRAFFIC WE GOT TO MOVE CAN WE MOVE THAT TRAFFIC YOU KNOW SO WHAT I WHAT I'M SEEING ON THE 278 IS THAT TRAFFIC IS MOVING MUCH BETTER I WENT THERE THIS MORNING AND STUFF AND I WAS AMAZED I GOT ALL FEEL KIND OF SLOWED ME DOWN BUT BEYOND ALL FEEL I WAS ABLE TO MOVE AND GOT DISMANTLED PLEADED TO GET LOST AND FOUND A DOCTOR APPOINTMENT YEAH THAT THAT IS IMPORTANT AND I THINK WE WANT TO MOVE TRAFFIC THE SAME TIME I DO SUPPORT BIKE PATH AND PATHWAYS AND STUFF BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S ENCOURAGING BICYCLES IN ALL THE KIND OF MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND WALKING ETC. ETC. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ME IS MOVING TRAFFIC BECAUSE IF WE CAN'T MOVE TRAFFIC AT THAT INTERSECTION INVOLVED MAKES BACK ON SEATTLE AND TOWARD GOING EAST YEAH ABSOLUTELY THEY CAN AND I THINK MAYBE THERE'S COUNCILMAN BARTHOLOMEW MENTIONED IF WE HAVE A PLAN IN THE ZONE AND WE SPENT THE MONEY EVEN IF WE DON'T BUILD HAZEL FARM AND GAY WE'VE GOT A DESIGN SITTING THERE READY TO GO THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING. WELL I'M GOING TO PRIORITIZE THE ZONE.

I'M JUST SAYING THESE ARE TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION AT OUR UPCOMING WORKSHOP AND WE'LL WE'LL HAMMER THAT HOME. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO GO WITH THAT DURING A LOT OF THESE WE'RE HAVING RIGHT NOW ARE 100% WORKSHOP AND GOSH LAST CLASS THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN UPDATE NOT A DEBATING ABOUT WHAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BUILD AND NOT BUILD AND HOW IT SHOULD LOOK WE'RE NOT AND NOT TALKING ABOUT TO SAY YOU GUYS KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE ON TO 78 AND THEN WE DID WE TOOK SOME OF THOSE COMMENTS THAT WE HAD AND WE'LL PROVIDE UPDATES AND AND EVEN THE BREAKDOWN OF FUNDING ELEMENTS SO THANK AND THAT WAS A LONG TIME THIS IS IMPORTANT INFORMATION I KNOW IT'S HARD TO TALK THROUGH AND GET UPDATES BUT PUBLIC NEEDS TO NOTIFIED AND YOU GUYS NEED TO BE UP TO DATE WHERE WE ARE SO THANK YOU FOR THE TIME.

[8. SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING PROGRAM UPDATE- Victoria Hoffman, Solid Waste & Recycling Program Manager]

[01:05:07]

VICTORIA HAS SALES TAX UP BUT THIS IS AGAIN A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION THAT SHE HAS TO SHARE AND THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON AND PARTICULARLY AS IT PERTAINS TO RECYCLING OVERALL UPDATES THIS PROGRAM A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION THAT SHE HAS TO SHARE AND SUPER FOR HER TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT TO YOU GUYS. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. TRANSITIONING A PENNY TO SALES TAX TO TALKING TRASH IT'S EVERY TIME IT HITS EVERY TIME IT'S AN EASY PRETTY MUCH ONE IN THE SAME RIGHT? OH, I JUST GOT THAT. SORRY. ALL RIGHT SO MY NAME IS VICTORIA HOFFMAN SOLID WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAM MANAGER AND HERE TO TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT TODAY ABOUT A PROGRAM UPDATE FOR I'M JUST WHAT WE'VE BEEN GOING ON AND WHY YOU HAVE SIX ITEMS ON THE AGENDA PERTAINING TO SOLID WASTE SO IN THE FALSE LATE SUMMER LAST YEAR WE WERE ASKED FROM THE PUBLIC WORKS TO ESTABLISH A VISION MISSION AND GOALS THAT'S A LOT TO READ SO I'VE SUMMARIZE IT HERE THE VISION OF THIS ALL THE WAYS RECYCLING PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE COUNTY WITH EFFICIENT SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT AND RECYCLING SERVICES THAT NOT ONLY PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT BUT ENSURE A CLEANER FUTURE FOR OUR MISSION JUST TO DELIVER OUR WASTE AND RECYCLING SERVICES WE TO REDUCE WASTE WASTE PROMOTE SUSTAINABILITY AND THEN OF COURSE SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITY AND THEN OUR GOALS SUMMARIZE IS TO IMPROVE OUR EFFORTS FOR SOLID WASTE ENHANCE OUR OPERATIONS AND HOPEFULLY CONTROLLING COSTS AS BEST AS WE CAN. SO A COUPLE OF CHANGES THAT YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SEEN I KNOW YOU'VE HEARD OF THE THING IF IT'S NOT BROKE DON'T FIX IT. BUT IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE YOU SHOULD. SO OUR PROGRAM WAS NOT BROKEN BUT WE LOOK FOR REPEAT IMPROVEMENTS. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S GOOD TRAY OR A BAD TRAIT FOR ME IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOU ASK, MY HUSBAND AND ALL OF OUR ONGOING EFFORTS IN THE HOUSE ANYWAY SO AND TO ASSIST IN EDUCATING THEIR RESIDENTS WE HAVE PARTNERED WITH RECYCLE COACH THIS IS NOT ONLY AN APP THAT CAN DOWNLOAD ON YOUR PHONE THIS IS ALSO A WEB SERVER.

WE HAVE THAT SOFTWARE ON OUR WEB PAGE AND IT'S AN EDUCATIONAL RESIDENTS CAN USE IT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT WE RECYCLE THEN ALSO JUST HOW TO DISPOSE OF IRREGULAR AND HARD TO MANAGE ITEMS. I ALSO HAS INTERACTIVE GAMES KIDS CAN PLAY AND YOU CAN ACTUALLY TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE ON WASTE SOME OTHER IMPROVEMENTS WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH I.T AND COMMUNICATIONS TEAM JUST TO IMPROVE OUR WITH RESIDENTS MAKE SURE WE HAVE REAL TIME UPDATES ON CLOSURES OF THE CENTERS. ANY EVENTS THAT WERE HAPPENING THAT ARE TAKING PLACE AND WE DO HAVE A NEW VENDOR FOR OUR BULKY WASTE THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE CALLS IT AS WHITE GOODS THOSE LARGE BULKY METAL ITEMS SO WE NO LONGER ARE TRANSPORTING WASTE TO THE SHANKLIN. YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THAT WONDERFUL PILLAGE THAT YOU'RE USED TO SEEING. NOW WE CAN TAKE THE MATERIAL STRAIGHT TO THE VENDOR AND WE'RE HAPPY WITH THAT CHANGE AND WE ALSO REALLY EXCITED TO WORK WITH AND REC THIS YEAR AND PROVIDE SOME RECYCLING BINS PROVIDED BY DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES ON A GRANT SO WE CAN START PROVIDING RECYCLING AT OUR BALL FIELDS WHEN STUDENTS AND KIDS ARE PLAYING SO CONVENIENT CENTERS IT'S A TOPIC THAT EVERYBODY LOVES.

THIS IS A CODE . IT'LL TAKE YOU STRAIGHT TO OUR WEB PAGE.

THIS IS OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON YOUR PHONE BUT YOU CAN SCAN THAT AND THE VERY FIRST THING THAT POPS UP IS APPLY ONLINE NOW. SO OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE DECALS SYSTEM. WE'RE TRANSITIONING THAT TO SOLID WASTE JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NO LONGER ISSUING THOSE STICKERS ON CARS AND SETTING US UP FOR THE NEXT SECTION OF THE DEKALB PROGRAM WHERE WE'D LIKE TO PUT EASIER ACCESS INTO THE CENTERS, HAVE LESS WORKERS NEEDED. SO BASICALLY IT'S AN AUTOMATED ARM THING AND WE DO HAVE WE'VE HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE THREE USES PER WEEK THIS HAD A TREMENDOUS POSITIVE EFFECT AT THE CENTERS FOR EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY. IT ALLOWS US TO KEEP UP WITH THE STAFFING NEEDS AT THE CENTER AND IT ALLEVIATES THE ISSUE OF BACK UP AT CENTERS THAT DON'T HAVE THAT CIRCULAR TRACK WHICH CAN BE A CONCERN FOR PUBLIC SAFETY WHEN THE OF CARS ENTERING THE CENTERS BACKS UP INTO THE ROADS AND WE HAD OUR ENCORE CONSULTANT

[01:10:01]

SO WHAT WE WERE DOING WAS HAVING THESE QUARTERLY EVENTS THAT WERE HELD ON THE WEEKENDS AND THAT COST US OVER $100,000 ANNUAL TO ANNUALLY HOST THOSE EVENTS WITH A THIRD PARTY VENDOR NOT ONLY THE O.T. THAT WE HAVE TO PROVIDE FOR SOLID WASTE PERSONNEL TO ALSO BE AT THE EVENTS AND WITH THE NEW STATE LEGISLATION THAT PUTS THE RESPONSIBILITIES ON THE MANUFACTURERS TO PAY FOR OF ELECTRONICS WE CAN QUOTE DO IT FOR FREE.

THEY PROVIDE THE MATERIALS AND PACK FOR PACKAGING AND THEY PICK UP THE ELECTRONICS FOR FREE. SO RIGHT NOW THE ONLY THING THAT WE'RE PAYING FOR ARE THOSE EVENTS THAT ARE PRETTY COSTLY. SO WITH THIS WE'RE ABLE TO STREAMLINE IT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT THREE OR FOUR MONTHS TO GET RID OF THAT OLD TV OR COMPUTER IN YOUR GARAGE AND THEN HOPEFULLY PROVIDE JUST AN EASY, EASY AND ACCESSIBLE MEANS TO DISPOSE OF THOSE ELECTRONICS. AND WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO GET TIRED IT AND THROW IT IN THE TRASH BECAUSE IT IS HAZARDOUS TO DISPOSE OF AND YOUR WASTE STREAM.

NOT ONLY THAT BUT YOU'RE WASTING RARE EARTH ELEMENTS THAT ARE COMMONLY FOUND IN THOSE. A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS THAT WE HAVE STREAMLINED I ALREADY MENTIONED THE BULK WASTE AT SHANKLIN AND WE'RE WANTING TO WORK WITH YOU MUNICIPALITIES HILTON HEAD HAS BEEN OUR FIRST TO PROVIDE MORE SERVICES DIRECTLY TO THOSE AREAS AND THEN ALSO UNDERSERVED AREAS. WE'VE IMPROVED SIGNAGE AT OUR CENTERS AND WE'RE EXCITED TO IN THE FUTURE PARTNER WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES AND SCHOOLS BY IMPROVING OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY AT THE CENTERS THE CENTERS ARE RUN REALLY WELL WE HAVE A WONDERFUL SUPERINTENDENT BRAD MACCABEE WHO DOES A JOB. I'M A COUPLE OF IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE OUR NEW VENDOR FOR RECYCLING IS I DO RECYCLE VERY EXCITED THIS A LOCALLY OWNED BUSINESS OPERATED LOCALLY WELL JUST OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY NOW WE HAVE A PLACE THIS IS A PICTURE OF THEIR MERV THEY ARE WONDERFUL AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY PROVIDE THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATOR BECAUSE HE SEES THE RECYCLABLES COME IN SO WE KNOW WHAT'S CONTAMINATING THE BINS. SO IF YOU'VE SEEN OUR SOCIAL MEDIA THAT'S TARGETING THINGS THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY FINDING IN OUR RECYCLING STREAM THE CENTERS IT REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE THAT WE CAN GET. SO WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO WORK WITH HIM TO ENCOURAGE EDUCATE OUR RESIDENTS AND WE HAVE NEW ROLL OFF CONTAINERS FOR RECYCLING IF YOU'VE SEEN THEM BRIGHT ORANGE RERUN LOGO WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THOSE PURCHASING THOSE OUT FROM IT TO ALLOW US TO SAVE MONEY ON CONTAINER FEE RENTALS. SO EVERY TIME YOU KNOW YOU'RE RENTING THAT CONTAINER EACH MONTH IT'S A COST NOW WE BOUGHT THEM OUTRIGHT WITH THOSE ARPA FUNDS AND THAT ALLOWED US TO ALSO REDUCE THOSE COST AND WE'RE REALLY HAPPY WITH THIS MONTH I KNOW THERE WERE TALKS YOU ALL HAVE HEARD ABOUT THE SUSTAINABILITY AND EVERYTHING THAT WE WANTED TO DO AND NOW WE'RE VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS CONTRACT AND WE'RE HOPING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THEM WITH A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO ENHANCE THIS MOVE, ALLOW THEM TO INCREASE THEIR CAPABILITIES AND MOVE TOWARDS SAME COMMON GOALS ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, SOMETHING LOVE VERY NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. VALENTINA DOES A WONDERFUL JOB IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS FLIER SHE IS NOT ONLY THE ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATOR FOR SOLID WASTE BUT STORMWATER SO SHE HAS HER HANDS FULL. SHE ALREADY HOSTED A COUPLE OF EVENTS FOR STORMWATER AND COMPOSTING SO WE'RE CALLING THOSE HER GREEN TALKS.

SHE'S ALSO BEEN IN THE SCHOOLS AND IT'S REALLY GREAT SHE TAILORS HER ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION FOR SOUTH CAROLINA STANDARDS CURRICULUM SO THE TEACHERS CAN GO AND SEE HER WHAT WE CALL CURRICULUM MENU AND CHOOSE THE STANDARDS THAT THEY NEED TO TEACH THEIR STUDENTS AND VALENTINA CAN GO IN THERE AND HELP SUPPLEMENT THAT LEARNING SO WE REALLY ENJOY THAT AMERICA RECYCLES DAY SHE WAS ABLE TO PARTNER WITH OUR AWESOME VENDOR ITU AND SHE HOSTED EDUCATIONAL TALKS AND TOURS WITH ITU IN MY CABINET AND.

SHE'S ALSO PLANNING EARTH DAY WITH HIS USED OUR LITTER CONTROL SUPERVISOR AND THAT IS TAKING PLACE ON APRIL 25TH MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THAT IS ALWAYS A GREAT EVENT AND THEN

[01:15:03]

HE'S BEEN DOING REALLY WELL. HE HIT THE GROUND RUNNING COMING IN.

HE HAS CONTINUED OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH PALMETTO. HE'S INCREASED HIS LITTER CREW.

WE HAD TO PERSONNEL WHEN HE STARTED AND NOW WE HAVE SIX SO WE'RE EXPANDING THE PROGRAM WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT ONCE WE'RE ABLE TO GET THE ASSETS OUR GOAL IS TO SEPARATE THOSE TWO CREWS AND ALWAYS HAVE ONE NORTH AND ALWAYS HAVE ONE SOUTH OF THE BROAD SO WE CAN COMBAT THE LITTER ISSUE AND THEN PART OF OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH PRIDE WHICH THAT'S ANOTHER ITEM ON THE AGENDA TODAY IS TO ACCEPT A GRANT FROM THEM. WE PARTNERED WITH THEM I HOPE NOT. IF THEY DON'T IT'S GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED IT WAS GOING TO BE IT GOING TO BE CALLED THEY CREATED THIS POSTER SO WELL THEY DIDN'T CREATE IT.

THEY GAVE US FUNDS TO CREATE THIS POSTER AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A LITTER EDUCATION CAMPAIGN STUDENTS AND COUNTY SCHOOLS. SO WE ARE GOING TO HAVE VALENTINE TO GO TO THEM AND TEACH THEM WHY IT'S IMPORTANT NOT TO LITTER.

SO THAT'S ONE OF OUR LOCAL BIRDS. IT'S GOT A LITTLE GUMMY PACK IN ITS THE IDEA IS TO HANG THIS AT SCHOOLS AND THEN GIVE KIDS THAT QUICK 15 SECONDS 5 SECONDS HEY I SHOULDN'T LITTER BECAUSE I HEARD SO THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS AND THEN HE'S CONTINUED TO WORK WITH COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND SOUTH CAROLINA DOT TO COMBAT THE LITTER PROBLEM THE USDA COMPOST PILOT PROGRAM UPDATE ONE OF THE MOST FAVORITE ITEMS ON THE AGENDA VERY EXCITED TO GET THIS WE CAME TO YOU A COUPLE MONTHS BACK TO REQUEST TO ACCEPT THAT GRANT AWARD AND AGAIN IT WAS FOR $273,600 A COUPLE OF THAT INCLUDED TO PURCHASE EQUIPMENT THAT'S GOING TO BE ON YOUR AGENDA ITEM TONIGHT AND THEN TO OUTFIT THE CENTERS WITH THE NEEDED INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES AND THEN BINS FOR FOOD WASTE COLLECTION WHICH I BROUGHT AN EXAMPLE. SO THESE WERE PURCHASED FROM A D S GRANT AND THIS IS GOING TO BE AN IDEA OF SOME OF THE FUNDS THAT WE'LL CONTINUE TO USE AND VALENTINA WILL GO AND TEACH RESIDENTS HOW TO DIVERT THEIR FOOD WASTE AND THIS IS A COMPOST CROCK THAT YOU KEEP ON YOUR KITCHEN SO YOU PUT YOUR FOOD WASTE IN HERE AND THEN YOU CAN CARRY IT EVENTUALLY TO THE CENTER AND THEN DISPOSE OF IT THERE AND OF COURSE THE STICKER ON THE FRONT SHOWS YOU WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T PUT THAT SHEET. HOW DO I KNOW JOHN'S? YEAH.

OKAY. WELL BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER, LET ME ASK YOU THIS QUESTION.

YOU WHAT YOU HAVE IN THERE THE USDA COMPOST PILOT PROGRAM AND YOU HAVE THE CONSULTANT $50,000 ARE YOU PLANNING ON USING THE SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT AS A CONSULTANT TO HELP WITH PROMOTING WE ARE WE ARE SO WITH OUR CONSULTANT THAT WE'RE ALREADY WORKING WITH THEM AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE PART OF THE PRESENTATION BUT WE'RE ALREADY WORKING WITH THEM.

THEY ARE CREATING OUR COMPOST PILOT SO IT'S NOT GOING TO BE SOMETHING WE'RE JUST THROWING OUT. WE ARE HAVING A ROBUST PLAN AND A PORTION OF THAT THE LOGISTICS OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO OUTFIT OUR CENTERS WITH, HOW WE'RE GOING TO FACILITATE THAT PROCESS AND THEN A LARGER PORTION OF THEIR PLAN IS THE PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH HOW DO WE REACH A THIRD GRADER TO AN 83 YEAR OLDER? SO A PORTION OF THAT AND THEN ALSO IN THAT PLAN WE HAVE LISTED OUR PARTNERSHIPS AND THAT'S GOING TO RANGE FROM MUNICIPALITIES TO SCHOOLS TO, THIRD PARTY ENTITIES LIKE THAT. OKAY.

THANK YOU YEAH, YOU'RE WELCOME . SO SO FAR I BELIEVE HAVE A TIMELINE WE CAN TALK ABOUT HERE WE GO. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN OUR PHASE TWO OF THIS PROJECT AND THAT'S HOW YOU SEE THE INVESTORS COMPOST UNIT ON YOUR AGENDA TODAY WE'VE ISSUED A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS SO WERE ABLE TO PROCURE A IT'S NOT A CONTRACT

[01:20:05]

THIS IS AHEAD OF RECYCLING. WE'RE DIVERTING MATERIALS FROM EVEN GOING TO THE LANDFILL.

SO REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY ENDEAVOR TO BRING TO THE RESIDENTS AND.

PUT ONE QUESTION YEAH. CAN YOU LET HER GET THROUGH YOUR PRESENTATION FIRST THEN WE'LL ASK THEM THANK YOU. ALL RIGHTY. AND I'M ALMOST DONE.

SO THERE IS ONE THING I WANTED TO MENTION THOUGH WITH THE LAST OF THE PROGRAM AND THE FIRST BIG PHASE THAT WE FOR THE FUNDS WERE THAT WAS TO GET RESIDENTS TO START COMPOSTING.

BUT THEN THERE ARE SOME PHASES FOR THE LARGER GRANT IDEA AND THAT'S TO INCORPORATE IT INTO THE SCHOOLS AND THEN ALSO GET BUSINESSES AND MUNICIPALITIES ON BOARD SO REALLY WANT TO CREATE THIS GREEN BUSINESS PROGRAM WHERE YOU GET SOME SORT OF RECOGNITION FOR RECYCLING AND THEN ALSO FOOD WASTE. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT IT'S GOING TO GROW AND EXPAND AND BE SOMETHING REALLY BIG AND BE FOR A COUNTY THAT WE'RE KNOWN FOR. AND THEN THESE ARE JUST OUR IMPROVEMENTS AND NEXT STEPS BASICALLY HOPPING ALONG THE STAIRS ONE ONE AT A TIME, TWO AT A TIME WHERE WE'RE GOING FROM HERE AS YOU SEE WITH THE COMPOSTING WE WANT TO DIVERT WASTE FIRST AND FOREMOST AND THEN WE WANT TO ALSO JUST IMPROVE WHAT WE'RE DOING AT OUR CENTERS AND THEN AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. WE WANT TO REALLY REFINE THE WAY THAT WE'RE COLLECTING AND TRACKING THIS DATA AND MAKE IT MORE TRANSPARENT FOR RESIDENTS SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH I.T ON BEING ABLE TO STREAMLINE THE DATA THAT WE'RE ALREADY RECEIVING AND THEN BE ABLE TO DISPLAY ON WILL QUOTE LIVE AND SPREADSHEETS ON OUR WEB PAGE.

SO THAT WAY ANYBODY CAN LOG ON INTO THE WEB PAGE OF SOLID WASTE AND SEE IS HOW MUCH WE'VE DIVERTED THIS HOW MUCH TONS GOING TO THE LANDFILL SO YOU REALLY GET VISUALIZATION OF WHERE WE ARE WITH WASTE ALWAYS WANTING TO TRACK AND WHAT WE'RE DOING.

SO THAT'S NUMBER THREE FOUR IS THOSE STRONGER PARTNERSHIPS SO WE WANT TO WORK WITH MUNICIPALITIES WORK WITH SCHOOLS, WORK WITH OUR THIRD PARTY ORGANIZATIONS IN COUNTY I'M WE ALL HAVE REALLY COMMON GOALS AND OBJECTIVES COME TOGETHER AND BRING THOSE TO FRUITION AND THEN ALWAYS OUR LONG TERM PLANNING WHEN WE'RE DOING OUR FISCAL YEAR BUDGETING AND REQUEST AND THEN EACH AND EACH DAY ALSO INCORPORATES THOSE LONG TERM PLANNING AND EVERY PROGRAM WE IMPLEMENT, EVERY IMPROVEMENT WE MAKE IT'S ONE THING KEEPING OUR COMMUNITY CLEAN, SUSTAINABLE, THRIVING FOR OUR RESIDENTS TODAY AND TOMORROW DON AND I WHEN I PRACTICE THAT EARLIER I HAD AT 20 MINUTES OH YOU'RE ALL GOOD ALL RIGHT DO HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A COMMENT BUT YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB EDUCATING ABOUT HOW TO RECYCLE. THERE'S SOME MUNICIPALITIES DO A GOOD JOB AND THERE'S SOME THAT DO NOT AND NOT GOING TO NAME NAMES BUT I HOPE THEY WILL TAKE WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND GET IT OUT TO THEIR RESIDENTS. I SEE THE RECYCLE BINS WITH NOT DONE CORRECTLY AND OF COURSE THAT'S JUST GOING TO GET THROWN AWAY BY THEIR CONTRACTOR. SO I COMMEND YOU FOR THAT I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO THE COMPOSTING AND THE FOOD WASTE. I'VE BEEN A COMPOSTER FOR A LONG TIME A REAL LONG TIME AND WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING THERE IS GREAT AND I HOPE IT'S SUCCESSFUL THANK YOU. YEAH DEFINITELY THE MUNICIPALITIES IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO INCORPORATE INTO WHAT WE'RE DOING AND THAT IS A LONG TERM GOAL IS TO GET EVERYBODY ON SAME PAGE WITH RECYCLING IN COUNTY AND THERE ARE SOME LARGE STEPS THAT NEED TO TAKE PLACE BUT THE MURPH WITH IT TOO THE FIRST STEP TO START ON THAT PATH IT'S HAPPENING. SO I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE CONVENIENCE CENTERS.

YES, MA'AM. DO WE HAVE ANY DATA ON HOW MANY PEOPLE ROLL THROUGH THERE DAY? YES, MA'AM, ABSOLUTELY. AND SEE THAT SOMETIMES YES DID I ACTUALLY HEAR YOU SAY YOU'RE

[01:25:03]

WE'RE GOING TO DO A PILOT AT SHANKLIN FIRST AND SEE IF THAT IMPROVES THE OPERATIONS AT THE CENTERS RIGHT NOW WE ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE THAT HAS TO SCAN AND IF WE PUT AN ARM UP THEN THAT ALLEVIATES THAT CENTER ATTENDANT MAYBE THEY CAN GO TO THE RECYCLE AREA AND STOP SOMEBODY FROM PUTTING A PLASTIC BUCKET IN WITH THE PLASTIC BOTTLES OR ASSIST SOMEBODY ELSE IN FINDING THE PROPER RECEPTACLE FOR THEIR WASTE. SO THE GATE ARM WOULD BE ACTIVATED BY THE DEKALB. WE ALREADY HAVE YES MA'AM. OR WILL WE HAVE A GATE AND GRAVEYARD?
