          I, I DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY NOTES THAT WE NEED TO TAKE FOR, UM, SECTION FIVE SUBSECTION A EDUCATION AND LETTER ENFORCEMENT. 
          UM, I DON'T THINK WE'VE MET ON ANY OF THESE SUBJECTS. 
          WE'VE SORT OF BEEN, HAVE WE? WE HAD, WE, WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY. 
          WE HAD A, A LITTLE MEETING, UM, AMONGST A SMALL GROUP OF US, BUT IT WAS MOSTLY DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BUDGET. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UM, I'M EMBARRASSED TO SAY THAT WE HAVEN'T REALLY HAD ANY DISCUSSIONS ON, UH, WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS ON LITTER CONTROL, BUT NOT LETTER ENFORCEMENT. 
          ANYTHING ON LEGISLATIVE, IF WE DON'T NO, NOT THAT I HAVE. 
          ANYWAY. 
          DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING, DOES WASHINGTON RELATE TO LEGISLATIVE AT ALL? YOUR TRIP TO WASHINGTON? YOU KNOW, I CAN CERTAINLY DISCUSS THAT, OR I, I'D LIKE TO LET JEAN DISCUSS THAT. 
          IT WOULD BE A GOOD DISCUSSION. 
          SO, OKAY. 
          UM, JUST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, WAS WASHINGTON HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH LEGISLATION? WELL, WAS THERE RELATIONSHIP TO THE LEGISLATIVE ISSUES? NOTHING. 
          NO, NOT REALLY. 
          I MEAN, WE TALKED TO THE CONGRESSMAN, WHO'S THE LAST GUY WE TALKED TO? THE LAST CONGRESSMAN WE TALKED TO, UH, JOE, UM, UH, WILSON. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND NICE CONVERSATION, BUT THAT'S IT. 
          VERY, YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          15 MINUTES, YOU KNOW, CHAT WITH EIGHT PEOPLE IN THE ROOM KIND OF A THING. 
          UM, NO, IT WAS, THE EVENT WAS REALLY NOT TALKING ABOUT LEGISLATION. 
          IT WAS NATIONAL EVENT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, THEY'VE A, THEY DID ASK, JOE ASKED, IS THERE ANY ASK THAT WE HAVE? WE CAN GO TO HIM WITH AN ASK IF WE WANT TO PUSH SOME LEGISLATION OR HE'S, WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT SOMETHING, WE CAN DO THAT. 
          AND HE OPENED THE DOOR FOR US TO DO THAT. 
          MATTER OF FACT, ALL FOUR OF THE FOLKS THAT WE WENT TO TALK TO MADE THAT SAME OFFER. 
          THESE ARE STATE OR FEDERAL OR US SO TWO REPRESENTATIVES, UH, TWO SENATORS OFFICES. 
          OKAY. 
          STATE SENATORS? NO, NO, NO. 
          FEDERAL. 
          THEY'RE FEDERAL. 
          FEDERAL, OKAY. 
          YEP. 
          YEP. 
          LINDSEY GRAHAM AND TIM SCOTT. 
          OKAY. 
          YEP. 
          WE WENT TO THEIR OFFICES. 
          AND THEN ON THE HOUSE SIDE, WE WENT TO, UH, NANCY MAYS, NANCY MAC, AND, UH, JOE WILSON. 
          JOE, UM, WILSON. 
          WILSON. 
          OKAY. 
          YEP. 
          YEP. 
          SO YOU WANNA JUST DO A HIGH LEVEL RUNDOWN OF THE CONFERENCE? AND THAT WAS ALL ABOUT, IS THIS A TIME, WOULD THIS BE A TIME TO DISCUSS THAT? I'D LIKE TO SAY, YEAH. 
          GREAT IDEA. 
          SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          DO YOU WANNA START? DO YOU WANT ME TO START IT? GO AHEAD AND I'LL DO OR CHIP IN EITHER WAY. 
          WE WERE ON, AT THE NATIONAL KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL CONFERENCE. 
          UM, BEAUFORT COUNTY WAS NICE ENOUGH TO PAY FOR OUR ASK US. 
          AND IT CAME OUT OF OUR MONEY TOO, BY THE WAY. 
          UM, OUR LITTLE BUDGET. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, AND THEN, UH, JEAN EXPRESSED AN INTEREST TO GO, WHICH TO ME WAS FABULOUS. 
          YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANNA GO, YEAH, LET'S GO. 
          AND SO WE WENT UP AND I, MY WIFE WENT TO, I PAID FOR, WE PAID FOR THAT IN HOUSE, YOU KNOW, OURSELVES. 
          BUT, UH, WE HAD A, A REALLY, UH, EXPERIENCE UP THERE WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE. 
          THERE WERE, I'D SAY THERE WERE 300 PEOPLE THERE, IF NOT MORE, ALMOST 400 FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THAT DO THE SAME THING THAT WE DO. 
          HEY, CHRIS, CAN YOU TALK INTO THE MICROPHONE SO WE CAN HEAR YOU BACK HERE? SO THAT'S BETTER. 
          THERE WE GO. 
          UM, 400 PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND, AND LIKE MINDED PEOPLE DOING EXACTLY WHAT WE DO IN THE BIGGEST CONVERSATION WAS LITTER. 
          UM, SO WE HAD, UH, COMMITTEE MEETINGS, DISCUSSIONS FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS. 
          AND THEN ON THE, OUR SECOND, THIRD DAY, WAS IT, I THINK IT WAS THE THIRD DAY THAT WE, UM, KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL. 
          HAS, HAS THIS, WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT? I I BROUGHT THE FLYER WITH ME YEAH. 
          AND SHOULD HAVE MADE COPIES, BUT DIDN'T, UM, 'CAUSE WE JUST GET BACK FROM THE AIRPORT. 
          UM, IT'S CALLED JOIN THE GREATEST AMERICAN CLEANUP. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THE GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP WE'VE BEEN PART OF BEFORE, I PRESUME RIGHT. 
          THE, UM, KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL FOLKS IN WASHINGTON, UM, WANTED TO REBRAND 
          [00:10:01]
IT FOR NEXT YEAR TO CALL IT THE GREATEST AMERICAN CLEANUP. 
          AND THE CONCEPT IS TO, UM, ASK EVERYBODY TO TAKE A PLEDGE. 
          AND EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM HOPEFULLY WILL DO THAT TO PICK UP 250 PIECES OF LITTER OVER THE NEXT 18 MONTHS. 
          SO THAT, EXACTLY. 
          BUT THE IDEA REALLY IS WE ASKED THE SENATORS AND THE CONGRESS PEOPLE TO DO THE SAME THING. 
          TAKE THE PLEDGE, TAKE A PICTURE, GET MORE PEOPLE TO DO IT. 
          SO THAT WAS KIND OF, I THINK THE, THE KIND OF THE FLAVOR OF THE ENTIRE CONFERENCE WAS TRYING TO LINE UP WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO FOR THE 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COUNTRY. 
          YEAH. 
          THE ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICA IS NEXT JULY, NEXT JULY, 250 YEARS SINCE THE SIGNING OF THE DECLARATION INDEPENDENCE. 
          SO THEIR WHOLE THING IS, WE'RE GONNA CLEAN UP THIS COUNTRY YEP. 
          BEFORE WE HAVE THE BIG PARTY. 
          YEP. 
          AND IT WAS REALLY KIND OF COOL. 
          SO 250, UH, PIECES OF LITTER, REALLY, FRANKLY IN MY WORLD THAT THAT'S NOT VERY MUCH. 
          BUT, UH, THAT'S THE PLEDGE. 
          AND, UM, WE WANT EVERYBODY TO TAKE IT. 
          THEY WANT 25,000 COMMUNITIES IN AMERICA TO PLEDGE TO PICK UP. 
          AND IT, THEN THAT WOULD EQUATE TO SOMETHING LIKE 3 MILLION POUNDS OF LITTER OR SOMETHING IF EVERYBODY PICKS UP THAT LITTLE BIT. 
          SO THEIR TARGET IS 25 BILLION PIECES OF LITTER TO BE PICKED UP. 
          JUST SIMPLE MATH IS REALLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING. 
          RIGHT. 
          UM, BUT IT, IT WAS, IT WAS PRETTY GOOD. 
          I MEAN, I WAS ENCOURAGEMENT, ENTHUSIASM. 
          AND SOUTH CAROLINA WAS PROBABLY THE SECOND MOST ATTENDED STATE OF ANY OTHER STATE. 
          YEAH. 
          WE HAD A BUNCH OF, WE HAD 25 PEOPLE, GANG OF PEOPLE FROM, FROM SOUTH CAROLINA WAS FUN ALL THROUGHOUT THE MIDLANDS, THE UPSTATE, EVERYWHERE. 
          THAT WAS GREAT. 
          TENNESSEE HAD 27, I THINK, BUT I THINK THEY CHEATED BECAUSE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION STUCK WITH, MADE A BLANKET PERMISSION THAT THEY WOULD PAY FOR IT. 
          AND SO ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE CAME THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULDN'T NORMALLY SEE AT THAT KIND OF A CONFERENCE. 
          I'M JUST, I'M BEING A LITTLE FACETIOUS THERE. 
          OF COURSE. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, SOUTH CAROLINA WAS IN GREAT STEAD. 
          IT WAS A, IT WAS REALLY A GREAT INTRODUCTION FOR ME MEETING SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. 
          AND EVERYBODY DOES THIS THING A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. 
          EVERY COMMUNITY YOU GO INTO, THE STRUCTURE'S DIFFERENT. 
          SOME ARE NONPROFITS, SOME ARE A HUNDRED PERCENT PUBLIC. 
          IT JUST, IT'S JUST REALLY INTRIGUING, UM, HOW IT'S ALL SET UP. 
          UM, BUT IT'S A GOOD CONFERENCE. 
          WHAT WE WENT TO ONE SESSION THAT WAS, UM, CIGARETTE BUTT LIMITING, LIMITING, UH, ELIMINATING CIGARETTE BUTTS. 
          AND I WENT TO IT THINKING, IS THERE THAT MUCH TO IT? IS IT REALLY WORTH SPENDING AN HOUR TALKING ABOUT IT? OH MY GOODNESS. 
          NUMBER. 
          IT WAS HUGE. 
          IT WAS HUGE. 
          AND IT WAS REALLY INTERESTING. 
          I THINK THEY DID A TERRIFIC JOB. 
          THEY'VE GOT ALL KINDS OF PROGRAMS TO GIVE US, UM, CIGARETTE BUTT CONTAINERS. 
          WE CAN HANG IN ANY PLACES WE WANT THERE. 
          THERE'S ONE OF THE COMPANIES WILL RECYCLE THOSE BUTTS AND PAY US A DOLLAR FOR EVERY POUND THAT WE GIVE TO THEM. 
          AND THE, AND THE FLYERS ARE FREE. 
          I MEAN, THEY'RE REALLY TRYING TO DO A LOT OF INTERESTING THINGS, BUT, YOU KNOW, KIND OF EXPAND THAT CONCEPT OF A LOT OF ENERGY ON ONE SUBJECT. 
          AND THAT HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN, UH, THROUGHOUT THE SEVERAL DAYS. 
          SO EXCITING. 
          IT WAS EXCITING. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT AGAIN, IT ALL GOES BACK TO THE BIRTHDAY OF AMERICA. 
          AND, AND SO THEY, THEY WANT TO TRY AND, AND THEN OUR MISSION WITH ALL THE SENATORS AND THE CONGRESS PEOPLE, WITH THE, THE FOUR THAT WE SAW NOW, THE, THE WHOLE, THE WHOLE 400 PEOPLE ALL WENT TO DIFFERENT, THEIR, LIKE, THEIR HOME CONGRESSES. 
          SO I MEAN, WE, WE, THEY COVERED THAT BUILDING EVERY STATE. 
          AND, BUT WE WERE JUST THE SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLES. 
          BUT, UH, OUR JOB WAS TO GO IN AND, UM, AND LIKE WE ASKED, WE DIDN'T GET TO TALK TO LINDSEY GRAHAM, BUT HIS NUMBER ONE GUY WAS THERE, AND HE WAS REALLY INTERESTING. 
          AND I SAID, WELL, AND WE ALL SAID IT, BUT, UH, WE'D LIKE FOR LINDSAY TO, UH, PICK UP 250 PIECES OF LITTER IF HE WOULDN'T MIND. 
          AND IT WAS FUN. 
          BUT, UH, AND HE SAID, YEAH, I'LL TRY TO GET HIM TO DO IT. 
          SO, AND, AND THE SAME THING, GOLF COURSE. 
          I'M SURE HE'D BE HAPPY TO GET THE STYROFOAM CUP. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          THE STYROFOAM COUNT. 
          ALL KIND. 
          AND THE P BUT IT WAS THE SAME WITH EVERYONE WE VISITED. 
          WE, IT WAS ALL ABOUT, WE'D LIKE TO GET YOU TO SIGN THE PLEDGE, BUT THAT JOE WAS THE BEST. 
          YEAH. 
          HE, HE, OUR CONGRESSMAN, UM, JOE WILSON. 
          JOE WILSON, YEAH. 
          WHAT'S WILSON? YEAH. 
          WILSON. 
          YEP. 
          NICE GUY. 
          YEP. 
          WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE PLEDGE AND THE CAMPAIGN. 
          WELL, SO WE SHOULD, WE'LL HAVE, WE'LL FURTHER THAT, UH, HERE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE'VE GOT SOME TIME. 
          I MEAN, IT'S NOT UNTIL NEXT YEAR, BUT WE'LL, AND WE, IT MAY BE SOMETHING WE COULD TALK ABOUT ON EARTH DAY. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND THAT, OH, THAT WAS SOMETHING I WANTED TO MENTION. 
          UM, SO THE EARTH DAY CLEANUP THAT 
          [00:15:01]
THE COUNTY IS CURRENTLY PLANNING THIS EVERY YEAR, UH, BECAUSE OF OUR KAB AFFILIATE. 
          UH, WE REGISTERED THAT AS AN ANNUAL GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP. 
          SO PART OF YOUR AFFILIATION, UM, CHECKLIST REQUIREMENTS, UH, IS TO HOST ONE OF THOSE, UM, GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUPS EACH YEAR. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO FOR ADVANCE, IF I MAY, UM, CAN YOU SHARE THAT CHECKLIST WITH US IN OUR, UH, SHAREPOINT? ON OUR SHAREPOINT SO THAT WE, THE CHECKLIST I WILL. 
          AND WHEN I HAVE ACCESS TO IT, UH, SO CHLOE MCGUIN, OUR RECYCLING COORDINATOR, UH, SHE OVERSEES YOUR KAB AFFILIATION, AND SHE IS CURRENTLY ON 12 WEEKS MATERNITY LEAVE. 
          SO IF I CAN FIND HER ACCESS INTO THAT ACCOUNT, I WILL. 
          UM, IF NOT, WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SHE RETURNS. 
          SO I'VE ALREADY LOOKED FOR IT. 
          UH, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS, UM, UNDER HER PURVIEW FOR HER POSITION. 
          SO WE DELEGATE TASKS. 
          SO I DON'T HAVE THE ACCESS TO GET ONTO OUR KAB ACCOUNT RIGHT NOW. 
          I DID ATTEMPT TO GET IT, AND I SAW YOUR EMAIL. 
          UM, BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN CONTACT, UH, WITH OUR KB AFFILIATES, UM, BOTH FROM PALMETTO PRIDE AND, UM, MALLORY, I FORGET WHAT'S MALLORY'S NAME? SHE, UH, UH, COFFEE.

          BUT I DID, UH, SEND THAT MESSAGE TOO. 
          UM, I POST YOUR READING AND I CAN ASK THOSE QUESTIONS, BUT DON'T HAVE ALL THAT AS WELL. 
          OKAY. 
          THANKS. 
          THEY, THEY TOLD US, UH, VICTORIA THAT THE, UM, THE KAB HUB WAS A GREAT RESOURCE, UM, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          IS THERE, IS THERE ANY REASON WHY THE BOARD HERE CAN'T HAVE ACCESS TO IT AS WELL? NO, THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. 
          JUST BECAUSE THE COUNTY HAS YEP. 
          OVERSEEN KEEPING YOU AN AFFILIATION. 
          BUT IF YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THAT OVER, THEN WE CAN DEFINITELY, UM, TRANSFER IT OVER. 
          SO WHAT I, I THINK A GOOD FIRST STEP MIGHT BE JUST SHARE IT MM-HMM . 
          SO WE WILL JUST BOTH DO IT. 
          AND THEN AS WE THINK ABOUT OUR PLANS FOR NEXT YEAR, WE COULD TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHETHER THAT'S SOMETHING WE ACTUALLY WANNA TAKE OVER. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, BUT IF YOU COULD SHARE THAT TO EVERYONE ON THE BOARD, THEY, THE, THE NUMBER OF TIMES THEY SAID THAT'S ON THE HUB. 
          THAT'S ON THE HUB, IT WAS AMAZING. 
          THERE'S VIDEOS, THERE'S UH, PRESENTATIONS, THERE'S STRATEGY DOCUMENTS, THERE'S ALL KINDS OF MATERIAL THAT WE MIGHT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MM-HMM . 
          THAT I CAN'T SEE. 
          AND I, I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO SEE, 'CAUSE I WANNA LEARN ABOUT WHAT IT, WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. 
          SO I THINK THAT'D BE VERY HELPFUL. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE CAN, WE CAN GET THAT. 
          I'M GONNA GO AND HOLD THAT BABY SOON, SO, OKAY. 
          MAYBE IF CHLOE IS LOOKING LIKE SHE'S FEELING OKAY, I'LL ASK HER ABOUT A PASSWORD AND  LOT OF INFORMATION. 
          BUT SHE IS ON 12 WEEKS OF MATERNITY LEAVE, SO I APOLOGIZE. 
          I KNOW IT'S NOT EXACTLY THE GREATEST TIME. 
          THE WEEK THAT YOU ASKED WAS THE DAY SHE'S IN LABOR. 
          UM, SO  . 
          YEAH. 
          BUT WE ALL HOPE THE BEST FOR CHLOE. 
          I MEAN, COME ON TO CHLOE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WE'LL GET IT TO YOU THOUGH. 
          I MEAN, SHE'S, SHE'S GOT THE LOGIN AND SHE OVERSEES YOUR A V AFFILIATION. 
          BUT IT'S SIMILAR SIMPLE THINGS LIKE, UM, HOSTING THAT ANNUAL CLEANUP EVENT, UH, REPORTING YOUR LIT, RECEIVE LITTER TOTALS, SO WHAT ALL OF YOU DO, WHAT JESUS IS DOING. 
          UM, AND THEN OF COURSE, PAYING THE ANNUAL DUES AND FEES. 
          UM, AND THEN JUST A COUPLE OF OTHER OTHER THINGS. 
          THERE'S A GOVERNANCE REPORT THAT WE HAVE TO PULL FROM ER, COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. 
          UM, SO JUST A LITTLE CHECKLIST. 
          A LOT OF DATA. 
          DATA AND THEN OF COURSE, FEES FOR YOUR, UM, THAT WAS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP. 
          WHAT IS THE FEE? UM, THE FEE IS, I WOULDN'T SAY LIKE, IS NOTHING CRAZY, 4 75 A YEAR. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          AROUND, AROUND ABOUT. 
          I COULD BE WRONG THOUGH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, UH, I WANNA SAY IT'S ABOUT 4 75. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE REQUESTED FROM PALMETTO PRIDE IN THE PAST, IS TO COVER THOSE FEES. 
          GOT IT. 
          SO TYPICALLY WE HAVE GRANT FUNDS THAT COVER IT. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT YOU GOT THE BALL ON THAT. 
          MAKE SURE WE PAY OUR DUE AT THE RIGHT TIME. 
          YOU'RE GOOD. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU'RE GOOD. 
          THANK, THANK YOU FOR THAT, VICTORIA. 
          HOW DO THAT? YOU'RE AN ACTIVE AFFILIATE WE MAKE. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU KNOW, IMPORTANT. 
          BUT I WOULD LOVE TO DEFINITELY GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THAT. 
          AND PLEASE PASS BECAUSE IT'S NOT IN MY PURVIEW. 
          YOU KNOW, I'M MANAGING THE DEPARTMENT. 
          AND THEN CHLOE, HER TASK IS TO JUST MAKE SURE YOU GUYS CONTINUE WITH YOUR AFFILIATION. 
          UH, SO I DEFINITELY THINK THAT'S A RESOURCE THAT YOU GUYS CAN USE. 
          SO WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT WE WORK TO GET YOU ACCESS TO IT. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          YES. 
          WONDERFUL. 
          YEAH. 
          VICTORIA, DO YOU HAVE THE DATE FOR THE CLEANUP? UM, UM, IN APRIL? YEAH. 
          YES. 
          YES, PLEASE. 
          THURSDAY THE 20, 
          [00:20:01]
IT'S A FRIDAY. 
          THAT WOULD BE THE 25TH. 
          IT'S NOT, IT'S THE 25TH. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S MARCH. 
          APRIL. 
          APRIL, APRIL. 
          WE GOT LOOK SOME TIME. 
          YEAH. 
          25TH, I BELIEVE IT'S IN, IN THE PACKET. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE'S A, UM, UH, ANNUAL BUT COUNTY EARTH DAY EVENT. 
          APRIL 25TH. 
          I THINK IT WAS IN THE PACKET FROM LAST, LAST WEEK, LAST MONTH, LAST MEETING, OR IS IT THIS WEEK? OKAY. 
          YEAH, IT'S IN YOUR PACKET. 
          I GOT AN EMAIL TOO. 
          SO, EDUCATION COORDINATOR REPORT. 
          THAT'S BALANCE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, SO, COULD I MAKE A COMMENT? YES. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO, UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE, THE 250 PIECES OF, OF LITTER IS A, A REALLY NEAT KIND OF WAY TO, TO DO THAT CELEBRATION. 
          AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT ONE VOLUNTEER IN LESS THAN AN HOUR ON OUR BEACHES CAN PICK UP 250 CIGARETTE BUTTS. 
          THAT IS OUR NUMBER ONE LITTER IN THE UNITED STATES. 
          AND SO I WOULD THINK THAT I WOULD CHALLENGE OUR LEGISLATORS TO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS TREATING SYMPTOMS AND WHEN WE NEED TO BEGIN TO, TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE SERIOUS ABOUT CAUSE AND, YOU KNOW, WE SEEM TO ALWAYS DRAW BACK WHENEVER ANYTHING'S, UM, BEING ENACTED. 
          AND WE NEED, IF THEY'RE TRULY, UH, INVESTED IN SUPPORTING US, THEN WE NEED TO, YOU KNOW, REEXAMINE HOW WE'RE PROTECTING THIS COAST AND THESE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE SO VITAL TO THE ECONOMY OF THIS STATE, BECAUSE WE'RE LOSING THE WAR WITH STYROFOAM AND STRAWS AND CIGARETTE BUTTS AND PLASTIC BAGS. 
          AND WE'RE, WE'RE ACTUALLY MOVING A LITTLE BIT BACKWARDS. 
          AND, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE ON THE BATTLE LINES ON, ON HILTON HEAD AND IN BLUFFTON DOING OUR BEST. 
          UM, AND CERTAINLY THESE INITIATIVES RAISE AWARENESS, WHICH IS AMAZING. 
          UM, AND WE GET PEOPLE TO DO TANGIBLE TYPES OF, OF THINGS, WHICH, WHICH ARE ALWAYS EDUCATIONAL, I THINK. 
          BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S  IT'S LIKE PUTTING A BANDAID ON IT WHEN, WHEN YOU HAVE THESE TYPE OF, OF, OF EVENTS. 
          AND, UH, WE JUST TOOK THE INITIATIVE AS THE OUTSIDE FOUNDATION TO DECLARE EVERY DAY AS EARTH DAY. 
          AND SO WE WOULD LIKE TO CHALLENGE AND RAISE THOSE STATEMENTS. 
          HOW, HOW DO WE AS A STATE, OUR SENATORS, OUR REPRESENTATIVES, HOW DO WE AS A STATE INTEND TO MOVE FORWARD IN PROTECTING OUR COASTLINE IN REDUCING LITTER? BECAUSE PICKING UP LITTER IS NOT REDUCING LITTER. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, OBVIOUSLY WHEN AREAS ARE LESS LITTER, WE DO KNOW THROUGH RESEARCH THAT PEOPLE ARE LESS LIKELY TO LITTER. 
          UM, BUT IF YOU DRIVE ONE 70, UM, IT'S JUST THIS RIDICULOUS CONSTANT BATTLE. 
          SO CONSTANT BATTLE. 
          IT'S, IT'S REALLY, REALLY HARD. 
          UM, AND WITH, YOU KNOW, NOT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY FOR INVESTMENT IN PATROL, UM, FROM, FROM, YOU KNOW, THE, YOU KNOW, ONE PERSON AND A SMALL STAFF, YOU KNOW, THAT'S, THIS IS NEVER GONNA WORK. 
          UM, I THINK WE OPENED THE DOOR TO START THAT CONVERSATION, BUT MOST CRITICALLY, WE NEED SOMETHING TO SAY. 
          YEAH. 
          RIGHT. 
          IT CAN'T JUST BE, LET'S HAVE A CHAT. 
          YEP. 
          MM-HMM . 
          IT'S GOTTA BE, HERE'S WHAT WE'D LIKE TO PROPOSE. 
          YEP. 
          AND MAYBE THE, THE PALMETTO PRIDE FOLKS WERE WONDERFUL TO WORK WITH. 
          YEAH. 
          IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A STATE LEVEL CONVERSATION. 
          UM, BUT I DON'T, DID NOT SENSE THAT CONVERSATION WAS HAPPENING. 
          SO THAT MIGHT BE BE SOMETHING AT WHAT LEVEL? AT THE STATE LEVEL, AT PALMETTO PRIDE LEVEL. 
          YEAH. 
          AGREE. 
          I DIDN'T SENSE IT. 
          IT COULD BE 'CAUSE WE DIDN'T SPEND THE WHOLE CONFERENCE WITH THOSE PEOPLE, BUT IT WAS NOT A CONVERSATION AROUND WHAT IS, UM, BEAUFORT COUNTY, UM, TEAM DOING TO SUPPORT THIS STATE INITIATIVE OF GETTING NEW LEGISLATION. 
          THAT CONVERSATION NEVER HAPPENED. 
          I, I, I THINK WE SHOULD, BUT WE NEED TO, YOU KNOW, SPEND SOME TIME THINKING THROUGH HOW, WHAT IS IT WE WANNA SAY? AND THEN WHAT'S THE MECHANISM TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN? WELL, ON, ON THAT NOTE, AND WE ARE DISCUSSING LEGISLATIVE AND, UM, MS. MCPHEE ISN'T HERE. 
          SHE'S BEEN WORKING WITH ALICE HOWARD AND ANOTHER, UH, WORK, OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY WHO ARE IN THE WORKFORCE GROUP, UH, FOR THAT PLASTIC BAG BAN. 
          OH YEAH. 
          AMENDMENT RIGHT. 
          AND THEY ARE STILL MAKING PROGRESS. 
          UH, THEY RECENTLY, UM, ISSUED THE SURVEY. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          COLLECT INFORMATION. 
          HAVE YOU ALL TAKEN THE SURVEY, BY THE WAY? YES. 
          YEAH. 
          GOOD FOR YOU. 
          BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTS ON JUST OBTAINING MORE INFORMATION ON HOW BEST TO MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY WITH THAT. 
          SO IN BUBERT COUNTY, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING, UH, TO MOVE FORWARD AS FAR AS LEGISLATION. 
          BUT, UM, A STATEWIDE MANDATE ISN'T GONNA HAPPEN IN HERE. 
          IT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN COLUMBIA. 
          SO REACH OUT TO YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES, REACH OUT TO THE STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND TELL 'EM THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT TO SEE. 
          MAYBE IT'S, UM, WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS THAT THEY SEND OUT AND HAVE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE SIGNED? PETITION. 
          PETITION PETITIONS. 
          [00:25:01]
YEAH. 
          SO MAYBE IT'S CREATING A PETITION AND GETTING PEOPLE TO SIGN JUST TO GET PETITION. 
          UH, THE MOVEMENT THERE. 
          I MEAN, THAT'S AT LEAST THE MILLENNIAL WAY THAT WE DO. 
          SO JUST A THOUGHT. 
          UM, WHAT WE SAY IN THIS ROOM, IT'S GREAT, BUT TO GET IT STATE LEVEL, WHAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THIS ROOM. 
          AND I'M A PART OF CAROLINA RECYCLING ASSOCIATION, AND ANNUALLY THEY HOLD AN EVENT IN COLUMBIA WHERE IT'S CALLED RECYCLING AT THE STATE HOUSE. 
          AND YOU GO TO COLUMBIA AND YOU ARE ABLE TO MEET THESE STATE LEGISLATORS AND YOU TALK TO THEM ABOUT RECYCLING INITIATIVES AND LAWS AND THINGS THAT WE NEED TO PUT IN PLACE TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE COUNTRY, WITH THE ECONOMY, WITH SUSTAINABILITY. 
          VICTORIA, DO YOU HAVE A, A SUGGESTION? 'CAUSE I'VE EMAILED BUFORT COUNTY REP, BUFORT COUNTY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES AND STATE REPRESENTATIVES AND STATE SENATORS MULTIPLE TIMES. 
          AND OTHER THAN PAULA AND I DON'T KNOW ONE OTHER, AND THIS IS AFTER MULTIPLE TIMES, NO ONE RESPONDS. 
          AND THAT GETS PRETTY FRUSTRATING. 
          SO DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE ACTUALLY GET THESE PEOPLE TO RESPOND? UM, THE PETITION, I THINK IS ONE. 
          SO YOU'RE ONE VOICE. 
          BUT IF THEY'RE GETTING, UM, 'CAUSE WHEN I WAS AT THE STATE HOUSE, ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES EVEN SAID, LIKE, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY EMAILS I RECEIVED ON, I DON'T KNOW. 
          THERE WAS SOME LITTLE BALL IN CHARLESTON THAT WAS POLLUTING THE COASTLINE THAT CAME FROM THE SHIPPING YARD. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND THAT'S WHAT MADE HIM AWARE WAS RECEIVING A 100 EMAILS A DAY ON THESE LITTLE MICROPLASTIC BALLS IN CHARLES'S WORK. 
          SO REALLY BEING THE SQUEAKY WHEEL, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT IS FRUSTRATING WHEN YOU REACH OUT TO PEOPLE AND YOU DON'T, DON'T HEAR BACK. 
          I UNDERSTAND. 
          UM, BUT JUST CONTINUING THAT PROGRESS AND THEN ALSO GETTING MOMENTUM, UH, STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. 
          I CAN HARD FIGHT FOR SURE. 
          IF I MAY, UM, SUGGEST, UH, PEOPLE COMING TO COUNTY COUNCIL NOW YOU CAN SPEAK OR ALLOW PEOPLE TO SPEAK IN THE BEGINNING ON ANY SUBJECT. 
          IT WASN'T THAT WAY BEFORE WHERE YOU CAN ONLY, WE ONLY HAD 15 MINUTES IN THE BEGINNING AND 15 MINUTES AT THE END. 
          WELL, IF YOU'RE HAVING YOUR COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING AT 6:00 PM A LOT OF PEOPLE WORK. 
          THEY'VE WORKED ALL DAY, AND THEY DON'T WANT TO WAIT ALL DAY TO GET UP AND SPEAK. 
          SO MY SUGGESTION IS TO KEEP COMING TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND SPEAK YOUR THREE MINUTES. 
          I THINK THAT WE HAVE A LADY IN ST. 
          HELENA KEEPS COMING TO US, TELLING US THEY NEED A REC CENTER IN ST. 
          HELENA. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND IT'S GOTTEN THROUGH US, THEIR KIDS. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO I THINK THAT JUST SENDING EMAILS NOT GONNA TO HER REC, THAT'S, THAT'S OBVIOUS. 
          I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE OVER AND OVER AGAIN, GO TO COUNCIL MEETINGS AND AGREE NOT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ONE AT A TIME, YOU KNOW, AND JUST SIT UP AND SAY, I MEAN, YOUR NEIGHBORS FRIEND, WHOEVER. 
          I THINK IF WE PASS, I MEAN, I DON'T, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBABILITY OF PASSING THIS PLASTICS ISSUE. 
          AND IF WE DO, I THINK THAT'LL SPEAK A LOT FOR US IN THE REST OF THE STATE. 
          EXCUSE ME. 
          CAN, WHEN WILL WE RECEIVE, UH, FEEDBACK ON THAT SURVEY? I BELIEVE THERE'S A MEETING THIS FRIDAY, SO I DON'T ATTEND A LOT OF THE MEETINGS. 
          I, I DO, I'VE DELEGATED THAT TO VALENTINA, OUR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATOR. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, I'VE JUST GOT TOO MUCH ON MY PLATE, BUT I WANT TO SAY MARCH 1ST IS A DEADLINE. 
          UM, I THOUGHT IT WAS, SORRY. 
          LIKE I SAID, I'D HAVE TO LOOK TO ON MY CALENDAR. 
          I GOT A LOT ON MINE TOO, BUT I, I HAVE THAT INFORMATION TODAY. 
          OKAY. 
          IT'S COMING SOON. 
          IT'S, IF IT'S NOT, I, I WASN'T MONDAY. 
          NEXT MONDAY. 
          THAT'S A HOLIDAY. 
          WASN'T THAT? UM, I'LL, I'LL, I'LL EMAIL YOU THAT. 
          IT'S OH, OKAY. 
          IT FOUND IT. 
          IT'S THE 21ST. 
          IT'S THE 21ST AT ONE O'CLOCK, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S CORRECT. 
          UM, HARRING THAT FRIDAY, HARRINGTON STREET, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT'S, THAT'S RIGHT. 
          OH, IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME. 
          WE'RE GONNA BE AT THE CONSERVATION OFF, YEAH. 
          THE NEXT PLASTIC ORDINANCE MEETING, I BELIEVE. 
          UM, I DON'T SEE IF THERE'S ANY NOTES ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DISCUSSING, BUT I'M SURE IT'S THE SURVEY RESULTS AND THE THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, BUT THAT'S ONE TO THREE O'CLOCK FRIDAY, FEBRUARY THE 21ST, I BELIEVE THIS IS PORT ROYAL SOUND FOUNDATION ONE. 
          OH, NO, THAT'S THE, UH, COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAKS. 
          YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. 
          AND THAT'S, I, THAT'S IN THE COLLEGE BUILDING, I THINK. 
          OKAY. 
          THE OLD COLLEGE BUILDING. 
          WELL, 11 HARRINGTON STREET IN BE 2 9, 9 0 2. 
          SO YEAH, THAT'S, OH, OKAY. 
          AND YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE GOOD IF YOU, UH, CAME 1211 HARRINGTON STREET. 
          YEAH. 
          I HAVE TO LOOK AT MY CALENDAR, BUT IF I CAN'T YEAH, I KNOW IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY, BUT, UH, JEAN AND I WERE AT THE LAST ONE AND, UM, WE, I THINK WE 
          [00:30:01]
BOTH INTEND TO GO TO THE REST OF 'EM. 
          IT WOULD BE GOOD, UH, DR. 
          JEAN, OR IF YOU COULD COME TOO, BECAUSE YOU ARE SO ALL OF US, BUT SOMETIMES YOU EVEN, EVEN IT BE ON THE PHONE, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT THE PHONE LINE IS OPEN SO PEOPLE WANNA CALL IN. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE'LL DO THAT. 
          'CAUSE IT IS A NICE LITTLE CONFERENCE ROOM. 
          IT'S NOT A BIG ROOM LIKE THIS THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE, WHICH YOU'RE ON THE PHONE. 
          OKAY. 
          CAN I, MAY I GO BACK TO THE, UM, BEAUFORT COUNTY EARTH DAY? YES. 
          IF I, IF I REMEMBER LAST TIME YOU ALL SAID THAT IT WAS NOT FOR THE COMMUNITY, IT'S JUST FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY EMPLOYEES TO PARTICIPATE. 
          UM, YES AND NO. 
          SO JUST BECAUSE OF LIABILITIES THIS YEAR WE ARE GONNA WORK WITH LEGAL TO HOPEFULLY OPEN IT UP TO RESIDENTS, UM, NEXT YEAR. 
          BUT IT IS PRIMARILY BEAUFORT COUNTY EMPLOYEES. 
          AND THEN, UH, WE ALSO OPEN IT UP TO PARTNERS. 
          SO IF YOU ARE AN AFFILIATE OF C ROYAL SOUND FOUNDATION OR COASTAL CONSERVATION LEAGUE, DNR, PARIS ISLAND, UM, THAT YOU CAN KIND OF FALL UNDER THEIR LIABILITY OR AN ADOPT A HIGHWAY GROUP. 
          BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE SPOKE TO OUR REGIONAL PARTNERS, AND I WANNA SAY MAYBE HAMPTON COUNTY, UM, HAMPTON COUNTY HAD, UM, RESIDENTS ABLE TO, AND THEY JUST COME AND SIGN A WAIVER AND THEN GET THEIR MATERIALS AND GO CLEAN. 
          WE'RE NOT YET THERE. 
          WE STILL HAVE TO WORK WITH LEGAL TO GET THE LIABILITY FORM, JUST IN CASE YOU ARE ON THE ROADWAYS. 
          UH, BUT IT IS FOR THE ADOPT A HIGHWAY GROUPS. 
          UM, HAS, CAN SPEAK TO YOU MORE ABOUT IF YOU WANNA GET INVOLVED IN A GROUP OFFER THAT AND THEN BEAVER COUNTY EMPLOYEES AND THEN THE PARTNERSHIPS. 
          ARE WE ABLE TO ATTEND? YES. 
          YEAH, IF, YEAH. 
          YOU KEEP YOUR KBCV MM-HMM . 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          MR. CAMPBELL HAS A GROUP EVERY YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          NO, YES, WE CAN. 
          SO IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT YET, THEN UM, I DON'T THINK IT'S GONE AT ALL. 
          YEAH. 
          WE'RE ONLY IN FEBRUARY, THEY'RE GONNA RECOGNIZE US. 
          IF THIS IS, I'M ALSO NOT PLANNING THAT DELEGATION. 
          DELEGATION. 
          I GOT THAT FROM THEM. 
          OKAY. 
          SO VALENTINA WILL BE SENDING THAT OUT, UH, TO REGISTER. 
          SO I'LL MAKE SURE THAT SHE INCLUDES THIS GROUP AS A PARTNER. 
          UM, AND IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY RECEIVED THE EMAIL, THE PARTNERSHIP EMAIL, I'LL MAKE SURE THAT SHE, UM, LOOPS YOU GUYS IN ON THAT. 
          JEAN, DOES THE OUTSIDE FOUNDATION HAVING ANYTHING THAT DAY AS WELL? OH, YES. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WE, WE'LL BE DOING A WHOLE BUNCH OF INITIATIVES FIRST GONE THROUGH EARTH WEEK. 
          BUT ON EARTH DAY, UM, WE'LL BE DOING A COUPLE OF EVENTS, BUT ONE IS AN ALL IN ISLAND WIDE CALL TO ACTION. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE GET GROUPS TO CHOOSE A LOCATION, CHOOSE A TIME, UM, AND THEN WE HAVE A, UH, AN ACTUAL SPREADSHEET THAT THEY CAN LOG INTO. 
          AND SO THEN WE GET A COMMUNITY WIDE. 
          SO YEAH, WE'RE DOING A LOT OF STUFF. 
          IS THERE OPPORTUNITIES TO CO-BRAND TO TAG BEAUFORT, KEEP BEAUFORT COUNTY BEAUTIFUL AS PART OF THAT? I DON'T SEE WHY NOT. 
          OKAY. 
          'CAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I NOTICED, AND I'M SURE CHRIS DID AS WELL, UM, PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING, UM, UM, VERY STRICT ON HOW THEY'RE TAKING CREDIT FOR EVENTS THEY'RE RUNNING, ET CETERA. 
          AND I DON'T MEAN IT IN A BAD WAY AT ALL, THEY'RE JUST, THEY'RE TRYING TO EXPAND IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN MM-HMM . 
          SO IF WE CAN EVEN BE PART OF IT, MAYBE SOME OF US BE PART OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          SOME OF US BE PART OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          SURE. 
          JUST MAKE IT A BIGGER THING FOR THE BOARD AND FOR THE, YOU KNOW, THE ACTIVITIES THAT WE'RE TRYING TO TAKE ON. 
          I THINK THAT BEING ABLE TO TELL THAT STORY SURE. 
          WOULD BE HELPFUL. 
          SO WE CO-BRAND IT WITH PALMETTO PRIDE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEY'RE ON EVERYTHING WE DO, UH, ALL THE TIME. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, WE WILL REGISTER AND PARTNER WITH THE COUNTY. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, WE'LL REGISTER AND PARTNER WITH THE LAND TRUST, WHICH RUNS THE WHOLE COASTAL KIND OF THING. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, YEAH, I MEAN THERE'S A LOT OF THAT. 
          SO NOW REGISTER AND CO-BRAND WITH KEEP BUFORT COUNTY BEAUTIFUL. 
          SURE. 
          YEAH, THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          YEAH, WE'D LIKE THAT. 
          YEAH, SURE. 
          THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          ALL I NEED IS, AND IN TURN WE WOULD CERTAINLY ALWAYS DO THAT WITH, ALL WE NEED IS A LOGO. 
          SURE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I THINK THERE'S A LOGO RIGHT THERE. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT I NEED A DIGITAL, SO YEAH. 
          WHO CAN SEND ME ON THE EARTH. 
          CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION, VICTORIA? ON THE EARTH DAY CELEBRATION, IS THERE ANY WAY TO, TO USE THE EXPRESSION CO-BRAND, UH, THE KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL INITIATIVE TO PICK UP, TO SIGN THE PLEDGE? COULD, COULD THAT BE PART OF SOME OF THAT? OR IS THERE NOT ENOUGH TIME OR, UM, I THINK IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. 
          UM, I'LL DISCUSS WITH VALENTINA. 
          UH, SHE IS PLANNING IT WITH JESUS. 
          UM, BUT I KNOW THAT SHE'S GOING TO HAVE BOOTS SET UP. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO I THINK THAT THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE GOT YOUR STICKERS AND YOU CAN GO AND TALK TO PEOPLE ABOUT LITTER. 
          UM, SO ONCE 
          [00:35:01]
I GET BACK TO THE OFFICE, I CAN TELL VALENTINA, GO AHEAD AND SEND YOU A PARTNERSHIP LETTER AND THEN WHATEVER YOU ALL DECIDE TO DO, IF IT'S SETTING UP A BOOTH FOR EARTH DAY, UM, TO GET THAT BRANCHING OUT THERE AND, UH, PARTICIPATE, CERTAINLY SET UP A BOOTH. 
          IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S GOOD. 
          JEAN, IT'S INTERESTING TOO BECAUSE YOU GET TO GET TO KNOW ALL THE EMPLOYEES IN BEAUFORT COUNTY AND SOME OF THE UPPER PEOPLE THAT WE DON'T SEE VERY MUCH. 
          GREAT. 
          UM, COUNCIL PEOPLE, OBVIOUSLY. 
          THEY'RE ALL THERE. 
          AND, UM, SO ON THAT SIDE OF THE COIN, IT'S, IT'S REALLY A GOOD EVENT FOR US, YOU KNOW. 
          GREAT. 
          GET TO KNOW EVERYBODY. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, VICTORIA, DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE FARMER'S MARKET AT PORT ROYAL IS PLANNING ON HAVING THEIR KEEP BEAVER COUNTY BUTTE OR KEEP, UM, I KNOW THAT A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION, TYPICALLY IT'S EVERY SATURDAY, BUT I IMAGINE IT, IT'LL PROBABLY BE AROUND THAT SAME TIME. 
          WELL, THEY ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIFIC EARTH DAY EVENT THAT THERE'S A WHOLE GROUP AND TYPICALLY THERE'S UH, SOMEBODY FROM HERE. 
          THEY HAVEN'T SENT OUT ANY INFORMATION. 
          WE STARTED REALLY EARLY 'CAUSE IT'S A LOT TO COORDINATE. 
          SO I'M SURE THAT EVENTUALLY THEY'LL ALL SEND OFF THEIR INFORMATION. 
          'CAUSE I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY OTHER SAVE DATES FROM ANY OTHER EARTH EVENTS CON CURRENTLY WE KNOW ABOUT ART BECAUSE WE'RE PLANNING IT, BUT USUALLY IT'S, IT'S AROUND, UM, THE SAME TIMEFRAME. 
          I DID RECEIVE AN EMAIL REQUESTING THAT I SET UP A BOOTH FOR FRIENDS OF CHERRY HILL OAK AND UH, THE EVENT IS ON SATURDAY, THE 19TH OF APRIL AT THE FARMER'S MARKET IN PORT ROYAL. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT HAVE ACCESS TO, UH, AGAIN, I'D HAVE TO ASK VICTORIA IF THIS IS COR CORRECT WHAT I'M SAYING. 
          BUT THERE, THERE IS A GREAT BOOTH THAT WE USE, UM, FROM TIME TO TIME THAT UH, WELL, UM, I'M GONNA BE NICE AT EARTH DAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SET UP A BOOTH. 
          UM, IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO TALK ABOUT KEEP BUFORD COUNTY BEAUTIFUL AND THE FRIENDS OF CHERRY HILL OAK. 
          I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          AGAIN, CO-BRANDING. 
          YEAH. 
          YOU SAID THE EARTH DAY IN PORT ROYAL WAS APRIL 19TH? YES, MA'AM. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT WOULD, VALENTI IS NOT HERE. 
          SO SHE MAY HAVE RECEIVED THAT INFORMATION IN EMAIL, BUT IF NOT, WE'LL MAKE SURE SHE'S GOT THAT INFORMATION TOO. 
          AND WE'VE CO-HOSTED BOOTH BEFORE BECAUSE WE DO HAVE OUR SOLID RECYCLING TENT. 
          UM, AND WE'VE DONE THAT SEVERAL TIMES, ME AND MR. CAMPBELL. 
          SO WE'LL HOST OUR BE COUNTY TENT AND HAVE OUR INFORMATION AND THEN ALSO HAVE KBC B STUFF. 
          UM, ON THAT NOTE, UH, WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE CHALLENGE FOR PICKING UP 250 PIECES OF GARBAGE OR WHATEVER IT WAS, UM, DOES THAT HAVE TO BE DONE ON JULY 4TH? BECAUSE I'M THINKING WE COULD MAYBE PRINT SOMETHING UP TO HAND OUT TO PEOPLE AT THE FARMER'S MARKET ABOUT THE CHALLENGE. 
          NO, THE, THE, THE TAKING THE CHALLENGE YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW. 
          YEAH. 
          RIGHT. 
          YOU CAN DO RIGHT NOW. 
          WELL, IT'S A WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO PROMOTE THAT CHALLENGE. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND I AM ALSO CURIOUS IF THERE'S, UM, AN ONLINE PORTAL WHERE PEOPLE REPORT WHAT THEY'VE DONE, HOW ARE THEY TRACKING PARTICIPATION? YES. 
          THAT IS GOING TO EXIST. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UH, WE HAD A VERY BRIEF PRESENTATION FROM THE MARKETING LEAD AT KEEP AMERICA. 
          BEAUTIFUL. 
          AND I, SHE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT AND SHE WAS ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT IT, VERY MARKETING ABOUT IT. 
          I SAID, GREAT PRESENTATION. 
          WHAT'S THE SCHEDULE? WHAT PRODUCTS ARE YOU GONNA PROVIDE TO US? HOW ARE WE GONNA MANAGE THIS? TELL ME WHEN WE SHOULD EXPECT WHAT CONTENT WE CAN SHARE. 
          SO WE DIDN'T REALLY GET MUCH MM-HMM . 
          SHE SAID BY THE END OF MARCH OF NEXT MONTH MM-HMM . 
          SHE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE LAID OUT AND PUBLISHED A PLAN AND SAY, HERE'S HOW THIS THING IS GONNA WORK. 
          THEY'RE KIND OF JUMPING A LITTLE BIT HERE. 
          THEY, IT USED TO BE THE GREAT AMERICAN CLEANUP. 
          RIGHT. 
          THEY'VE JUST DECIDED TO CALL IT THE GREAT GREATEST AMERICAN CLEANUP. 
          AND THEY'RE REBRANDING AROUND THAT. 
          SO ALL THAT STUFF IS GONNA BE COMING OUT NEXT MONTH. 
          SO IF IT COMES OUT IN MARCH, THEN WE THERE, THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF TIME TO BE INFORMED BY APRIL. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF TIME AND PRINT SOMETHING UP. 
          AND SO I WOULD NEED TO KNOW WHO TO COORDINATE ALL THAT WITH. 
          WE'LL TRY TO COORDINATE THAT WITH YOU AS MUCH. 
          YOU KNOW, I WOULD SUGGEST THE QR CODE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SCAN THE PRINTING. 
          YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. 
          THERE'S ONE ON THE MORE COULD POTENTIALLY YEP. 
          LITTER. 
          LITTER. 
          YEP. 
          YEAH. 
          AGREED. 
          OUR, OUR BIGGEST METHOD IS BEING REALLY MINDFUL WITH OUR GIVEAWAYS OR PURCHASING. 
          UM, BECAUSE YOU DON'T JUST WANNA PRINT SOMETHING THAT'S, SO IF YOU NEED HELP CREATING THAT QR CODE, OR I GUESS THERE'S ALREADY ONE CREATED MM-HMM . 
          BUT IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE IN CREATING A BANNER OR A DISPLAY THAT HAS THEM ON IT, THAT'D BE, THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          [00:40:01]
THAT'D BE GREAT. 
          JUST A NOTE ON QR CODES. 
          A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HESITANT TO USE THEM NOW BECAUSE THEY HAVE, BECAUSE SOME HAVE BEEN EMBEDDED WITH, UM, WITH, WITH, UH, ALL KINDS OF SPAM MM-HMM . 
          AND, UH, OTHER THINGS THAT ARE A LOT MORE DANGEROUS. 
          SO SOME PEOPLE WILL NOT USE THEM ANYMORE. 
          SO WE NEED AN ALTERNATIVE AS WELL. 
          JUST INCLUDE THE URL. 
          YEAH. 
          I'M SURE. 
          WELL, THAT'LL DO IT. 
          I IMAGINE THAT YOU'RE GONNA CREATE SOME SORT OF POSTER OR FLYER. 
          YEP. 
          THE BASIC INFORMATION WILL BE ON THAT POSTER OR FLYER. 
          IF YOU WANT MORE INFORMATION, YOU CAN SCAN. 
          YEP. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE DO WITH OUR EDUCATION AND OUTREACH. 
          BASIC INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED. 
          IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, HERE'S A CONTACT NUMBER AND HERE'S A QR CODE. 
          YEP. 
          AND, AND ALL THAT'S GONNA BE PROVIDED THROUGH THE HUB, THROUGH THE KAB HUB, WHICH IS WHY WE NEED ACCESS TO THE I KNOW. 
          I'M JUST, I'M JUST KIDDING. 
          HE CALLED ME TODAY, BUT SHE'S A MONTH A WEEK POSTPARTUM. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          SOME TIME. 
          YEAH. 
          WE NEED TO RESPECT THAT. 
          UM, I JUST PRINTED A COUPLE THOUSAND, UH, BUSINESS CARDS FOR FRIENDS OF CHERRY HILL OAK AND I PUT QR CODES AND THE WEBSITE AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S EASY TO HAND OUT. 
          SO WE MIGHT THINK ABOUT THAT. 
          IT'S NOT EXPENSIVE. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, VICTORIA, IS THERE A, A CAPABILITY FOR US TO HAVE A SHARED CALENDAR THAT WE CAN PUT ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE COMING UP? YEAH. 
          YOU DO. 
          IT'S ALL ON SHAREPOINT. 
          IT'S ON SHAREPOINT. 
          IT'S ALL LINKED. 
          I'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET INTO SHAREPOINT YET, SO. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL MAYBE IF YOU CAN RESERVE TIME AND WE'LL ALSO GET WITH OUR IT GUIDE. 
          YEP. 
          WHO HELPS US EVERY DAY. 
          YEP. 
          SALLY AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THAT TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. 
          OKAY. 
          BECAUSE WE'VE HAD 'EM COME IN AND, UM, HELP US TROUBLESHOOT. 
          UM, SO IT IS, THAT'S WHY THE DEPARTMENT WAS CREATED BECAUSE IT'S ALL THERE. 
          GREAT. 
          THERE'S THE SHARED CALENDAR, THERE'S THE SHARED DOCUMENTS. 
          YOU CAN PULL EVERYTHING. 
          YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO PULL EVERYBODY'S CONTACT INFORMATION, SEE ALL THE EVENTS, CONTACT INFORMATION, THE UPCOMING EVENTS. 
          THAT'S, YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE IT'S TIME FLIES AND SOMETIMES IT GETS BIASED. 
          YEAH. 
          COOL. 
          UH, ONE OTHER SUBJECT ON, ON THAT SUBJECT. 
          UM, CAN WE GET SOME T-SHIRTS PRINTED UP FOR THE, FOR YOUR BUDGET? YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          DO YOU WANNA, CAN WE, CAN WE VOTE ON THAT? GO TO FINANCE? ANYTHING ON IFICATION FIRST OR, OKAY. 
          WHEN WE GO TO FINANCE, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          PURPOSE. 
          AND FOR WHO WE GO, IT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE COOLEST THING YOU CAN GIVE AWAY AT AN, IN AN EVENT. 
          AND WE, AND THE, AND THE, UH, BIGGEST THING COMES TO MIND IS THE AIR SHOW'S GONNA BE THIS YEAR AND THERE'S 150,000 PEOPLE AT THE AIR SHOW. 
          YEAH. 
          AND, AND IT, A LOT OF TIMES IT'S FOR THE KIDS. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT THEY'LL GO AROUND WEARING YOUR LOGO, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S, I'M JUST THINKING IN TERMS OF HOW MANY, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE GOT 150 EACH SIZE, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE PROBABLY WAY PLENTY. 
          YOU KNOW, SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING I DON'T, YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT COST. 
          YEAH. 
          WE HAVE TO LOOK AT COST. 
          YEAH. 
          I'D LIKE, I'D LIKE TO SEE A, JUST A, AN ESTIMATE MM-HMM . 
          BEFORE WE VOTED ON SHIRTS, T-SHIRTS. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND WE CAN PROBABLY GET THAT DONE RIGHT HERE IN TOWN. 
          I MEAN OH YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          PLENTY PLACES. 
          WE WANT SOME ESTIMATES ON SOME T-SHIRTS. 
          YOU MAY WANNA TALK TO SARAH ABOUT THAT. 
          'CAUSE SHE GETS THINGS PRINTED FOR US FOR COUNTY COUNCIL. 
          THERE YOU GO. 
          BAGS AND, AND UM, BACKPACKS, THAT KIND OF THING. 
          I THINK THE PERSON'S VERY LOCAL.

          THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LOCAL. 
          YES. 
          UH, YEAH, THEY'RE OVER ON LADIES ISLAND VICTORIA LOCATION TOO. 
          I HAD ONE MORE QUESTION, JUST IT'S, I GUESS CONCERNING LEGISLATIVE, IT'S THE, UM, SURVEY THAT WENT OUT. 
          IS THAT ONE SURVEY PER FAMILY OR IS IT PER PERSON? PER PERSON? I THINK IT'S PER PERSON. 
          SO YEAH, THEY FIX IT TO WHERE IT'S ONE PER REGISTERED EMAIL ADDRESS. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IF YOU'VE GOT THAT EMAIL ADDRESS, ONE SURVEY AND YOU'RE ALLOTTED, IF YOU WANT SOMEONE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD TO SUBMIT ANOTHER SURVEY, THEY WOULD HAVE TO USE THEIR OWN EMAIL ADDRESS. 
          OKAY. 
          I RECEIVED IT TO DO THE SURVEY, BUT MY HUSBAND DID NOT RECEIVE THE EMAIL TO TAKE THE SURVEY, WHICH IS WHY I WAS ASKING WHETHER IT WAS ONE PER FAMILY OR PER, DO YOU SHARE AN EMAIL ADDRESS? NO, WE DON'T. 
          YEAH. 
          CAN YOU FORWARD HIM THAT EMAIL? HE'LL BE ABLE TO LOG IN WITH OR USE HIS EMAIL ADDRESS TO UM, SUBMIT A SURVEY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND IT WOULD BE WISE TO TELL ANY FRIENDS YOU HAVE TO DO THE SURVEY? YEAH, I MEAN, I'M TOLD EVERYBODY THAT I, MY WORLD OUT THERE IS COVERED. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, BEAUTIFICATION, WE GOT ANY DISCUSSION ON BEAUTIFICATION? WE GOOD COMING UP HERE? WHAT'S HAPPENED AT 
          [00:45:01]
THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE? HAS THAT BEEN PLANNING NOTHING ? NO, NO, NO. 
          NOW WAIT A MINUTE. 
          , IT'S BEEN BOTH, WE HAVE SUBMITTED A PLAN TO DOT AND IT'S A SIMPLE PLAN. 
          IT ISN'T REALLY EXTENSIVE THING, IT'S NOT SOME FANCY LANDSCAPE PLAN, BUT IT'S NICE, IT'S THOROUGH AND THERE ARE A COUPLE OF POUND MEADOW TREES IN THE MIDDLE, UM, TO THE DOT SWITCHED. 
          ELIZABETH'S NO LONGER THERE WHO WAS MY BUDDY. 
          AND, BUT NOW THAT MIKE'S THERE, HE'S A GOOD GUY TOO, BUT HE JUST TOOK OVER. 
          BUT ANYWAY, I TOOK THE PLAN BY MIKE'S LAST WEEK AND I HADN'T HAD TIME SINCE THEN TO TO, TO FOLLOW UP ON IT. 
          BUT AS SOON AS THAT PLAN IS APPROVED, UM, THE GREENERY IS ASSURE AND IT'S, IT'S $5,000, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, WE CAN GET IT UP. 
          WE DON'T HAVE TO GET BIDS AND EVERYTHING. 
          WE CAN JUST GET THE GREENERY TO GO AND DO IT. 
          OKAY. 
          SOON AS I GET THE APPROVAL IT WILL BE DONE THIS SPRING. 
          THIS STUFF IS NOT EASY TO DO ALL THE TIME. 
          CERTAINLY ISN'T. 
          AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE PERMISSION. 
          I'M NOT USED TO THAT , BUT ANYWAY, WE'LL GET IT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THE STATUS ON IT. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN WE, WE'VE BEEN OUT THERE. 
          I MEAN, IT'S JUST COVERED WITH THIS STICK LAYER OF GRASS, YOU KNOW, WE GOTTA GET ALL THAT OUT AND, AND EVERYTHING ELSE. 
          BUT IT, IT'S, WE WE'RE ALL SET AND WE'VE GOT THE PROPER BID ON IT AND EVERYTHING ELSE. 
          SO. 
          AND UH, ONE OTHER THING THAT VICTORIA WAS JUST TELLING ME, UM, WOULD YOU, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT THAT? YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL I'M GONNA GIVE YOU, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME UP HERE AND SPEAK ABOUT THAT? YEAH, I'LL GO AHEAD. 
          IT'S FINE. 
          UM, SO WHEN WE APPLIED FOR KEEP YOU COUNTY BEAUTIFUL FUNDS FROM PALMETTO PRIDE, WILDFLOWER SEEDS WERE PURCHASED, UH, FOR THE LAST CALENDAR YEAR GRANT. 
          UH, WE SECURE SECURED THOSE SEEDS AND WE ARE WORKING WITH THE GENERAL SUPPORT DEPARTMENT ON DIVISION UNDER PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. 
          AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE, UM, PREPARING THE AREA AROUND GARDEN'S CORNER, UH, TO BE ABLE TO PLANT THE SEEDS. 
          UM, WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL SEEDS AND SUPPLIES BASED OFF THE SQUARE FOOTAGE, UM, THAT THEY'D LIKE TO PLANT ON. 
          UM, AND THEN ALSO, UM, WE WOULD LIKE TO WHERE WE WILL WORK WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS TEAM AND THE PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER, UH, TO GET THE WORD OUT. 
          SO WE'RE HOPING, UM, THAT THIS GROWS AND POTENTIALLY TURNS INTO AN ANNUAL OCCURRENCE AND POTENTIALLY GETTING SOUTH DAKOTA DOT INVOLVED TO DO HIGHWAY ONE 70 OR OTHER ROADWAYS. 
          UM, AND MR. CAMPBELL ALREADY MENTIONED, UM, MAYBE NEXT TIME INSTEAD OF USING WILDFLOWER SEEDS, WE COULD POTENTIALLY USE BULBS. 
          IT DOES IN, UM, INCORPORATE MORE WORK SINCE YOU HAVE TO KIND OF REALLY POP THOSE BULBS IN THE GROUND. 
          UM, BUT, UM, IT IS AN OPTION. 
          I MEAN THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THEY DO IN NORTH CAROLINA. 
          IT'S ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND THERE'S FLOWERS BLOOM ALONG THE ROADWAY BULBS. 
          UM, BUT IT IS, YEAH, THEY PLANT MOLDS IN NORTH CAROLINA AND EVERY YEAR THEY COME BACK. 
          SO IT'S A LOT LIKE, IT IS MORE LABORIOUS UPFRONT. 
          MOW OF COURSE IT PAY OFF. 
          SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT I'M WORKING WITH, UM, GROUNDS MAINTENANCE ON, UM, INCORPORATING. 
          AND WE HOPE TO GET, UH, A SMALL YARD SIGN WITH THE KEEP BUFORD COUNTY BEAUTIFUL LOGO SO EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IT'S THE, UM, WHERE OUT AT GARDENS CORNER, UM, THE INTERSECTION THAT LOOKS LIKE IN THE CIRCLE. 
          IN THE CIRCLE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I, I'M IN THE CIRCLE. 
          UM, I'LL SEND YOU THOUGH. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          I'LL SEND YOU, I WANNA GO ON RECORD THE PICTURE, BUT YEAH, THIS LITTLE TRIANGLE HERE AND THIS LITTLE TRIANGLE HERE AND THIS LITTLE TRIANGLE HERE. 
          AND THAT I'LL, THAT'LL WORK. 
          I WAS JUST LIKE, OKAY. 
          YEAH, I I I WAS JUST AROUND YONDER, YOU KNOW, OUT THERE LOOKING AT ANYBODY'S NOTE. 
          I'LL SEND YOU THE MAP THAT I WORKED ON. 
          WELL IT'S JUST INTERESTING THAT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING TO WITH THE SEEDS. 
          YEAH. 
          BECAUSE THE VERY FIRST THING THAT I EVER DID WAS KEEP YOU FOR COUNTY BEAUTIFUL WAS PLANT WILDFLOWER SEEDS AT GARDENS CORNER. 
          WAY BEFORE THAT, UM, INTERSECTION WAS CHANGED. 
          NICE. 
          YEAH. 
          GOOD FOR YOU THOUGH. 
          WELL, THE REASON THAT WE SELECTED THIS LOCATION WAS THE HIGH VISIBILITY AND THEN ALSO THERE'S A BUFORT COUNTY AGREEMENT, IF YOU WILL, THAT OUR GROUNDS MAINTENANCE MAINTAINS THAT AREA. 
          SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE ALLOWED TO DO THAT, UM, PORTION. 
          AND TODAY WAS THE FIRST I HEARD ABOUT MAINTAIN, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT GOOD. 
          THAT SOUNDS GREAT. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT'S WONDERFUL. 
          YEAH. 
          LET US KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING WE CAN DO NOW WITH THE COUNTY MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT. 
          ARE THEY GONNA BE PLANTING THE SEEDS AND EVERYTHING? UM, SO THEY'LL KNOW WHEN THEY MOW THAT THAT'S THEIR STUFF AND IT'S REALLY A GOOD WAY OF DOING IT. 
          EXACTLY. 
          UM, THEY'LL PREP IT 
          [00:50:01]
AND, UM, DISTRIBUTE THE SEEDS. 
          UM, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH, AND THAT'S WHY WE MAY NEED SOME MORE SUPPLIES, UH, BECAUSE THE SEEDS DO NEED TO, UH, HAVE THAT RETAINED RETENTION AND MOISTURE. 
          RIGHT. 
          WHENEVER THEY'RE PLANTED. 
          I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER CANARDS. 
          I KNOW HE USED THE WORD PROPAGATED THEN THEY'D BE FINE, I THINK IS WHAT HE SAID. 
          ANYWAY. 
          UM, ONCE, UH, ONCE WE'RE OUT THERE, HE'LL KNOW A BIT MORE. 
          THEY'RE GONNA PREP THE, UM, AREA. 
          'CAUSE YOU DO HAVE TO KIND OF REMOVE THE MATERIAL THAT'S THERE NOW. 
          SO BASICALLY THE GRASS. 
          AND THEN, UH, WE'RE HOPING TO GET SOME COMPOST. 
          TOO BAD. 
          WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF OUR OWN YET. 
          UM, BUT WE'RE GONNA GET SOME COMPOST AND WE THINK THAT'LL HELP RETAIN THE MOISTURE FOR THE SEEDS. 
          SO, UM, WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM ON THAT. 
          BUT VERY EXCITING. 
          GOOD FORWARD. 
          BUT, AND I'LL LET ALL OF YOU KNOW IF ADDITIONAL FUNDS ARE NEEDED, BUT MOST LIKELY MAYBE BE JUST SOME COMPOST AND THEN RIGHT. 
          AN ADDITIONAL BOX OF A LITTLE BIT OF, UH, PEAT MOSS MIGHT BE GOOD TO RETAIN MOISTURE. 
          OKAY. 
          I'M NOT THE, THE GROUNDS I CAN KEEP THEM ALIVE AFTER THEY'RE IN GOOD NEWS. 
          GOOD NEWS. 
          GOOD NEWS. 
          SO WE WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS ON THE CIRCLE. 
          YES, SIR. 
          UM, OH, SORRY. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          AND THEN WE ARE MAKING A LITTLE PROGRESS ON SOME WILDFLOWERS AND I'D LIKE FOR EVERYBODY TO THINK ABOUT THE BULBS MAYBE FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          WE'LL DO BULBS IN CERTAIN SPOTS IF, UM, I MAY, UM, THE, THE, THE THING THAT I LOVE ABOUT WILDFLOWERS IS WITH ALL THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE ROADS IN BEAUFORT COUNTY, WE ARE LOSING POLLINATOR HABITAT AND WE'RE LOSING OUR NATIVE SPECIES. 
          AND I THINK IF WE PLANT WILDFLOWERS, WE'RE MORE LIKELY TO BE SUPPORTING OUR NATIVE SPECIES. 
          WHEREAS BULBS, I'M NOT SURE WE WOULD BE DOING THAT. 
          SO I, I WOULD HOPE THAT WE WOULD AT LEAST TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. 
          I DO THINK THEY COULD BE USED TOGETHER. 
          I MEAN BULBS AT A FRONT, AT THE FRONT OF A BED CAN, UH, REALLY JAZZ UP, UH, A GARDEN AND MAKE IT LOOK REALLY WELL TENDED AND BEAUTIFUL. 
          AND THEN MAYBE WILD FLOWERS THAT SUPPORT OUR NATIVE POLLINATORS AND, UH, BIRDS BEHIND IT. 
          I WOULD REALLY LOVE TO SEE THAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. 
          THEY ARGUE. 
          WE WORKED WITH PLANNING AND ZONING AND ZONING, UH, JULIAN SMITH WITH THE COUNTY AND SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE MIX FOR, UH, THE . 
          I THINK BLUE FLAG IRIS IS A BULB THAT DOES REALLY WELL HERE. 
          WELL, ONE TIME THE COUNTY WAS ALL DAFFODIL FARMS. AH, YES. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. 
          INCLUDING MY FAMILIES REALLY. 
          AND ALL THE TRASH, THEY ALL HAD DIL. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN BEFORE YOU GUYS DO GET INTO THE FINANCE, I DO JUST WANT TO PROVIDE THE UPDATE OF, UM, SO THIS YEAR YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO FORMALLY GO TO COMMITTEE AND REQUEST THE FUNDS. 
          UH, YOU DO HAVE TO, UM, SUBMIT YOUR BUDGET REQUEST. 
          AND I'VE BEEN SPEAKING WITH VALERIE  AND I'LL SEND THAT TO, UM, THE SUBCOMMITTEE. 
          UH, BUT THE APPLICATIONS FOR YOUR BUDGET REQUEST ARE DUE ON APRIL 9TH. 
          SO WE GOTTA GET TO WORK. 
          WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO BREAK OFF INTO A LITTLE SUBCOMMITTEE TO WORK ON, UH, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE MEETINGS. 
          AND TALK ABOUT THAT AGAIN. 
          DOES NOT THE WHOLE BOARD HAVE TO VOTE ON THE BUDGET? YES, THEY DO, BUT WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH A BUDGET. 
          OKAY. 
          SO ARE WE GONNA NEED A SPECIAL MEETING TO DO THAT? THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING FOR FINANCE. 
          FOR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. 
          THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, WHICH YEAH, YOU NEED THE TENT, SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT. 
          OKAY. 
          ANYTHING ELSE FOR FINANCE? UM, CAN YOU THINK OF YEAH, A COUPLE THINGS. 
          HOW MUCH, YEAH, IF YOU WERE READY? YEAH, IF YOU'RE READY. 
          UM, I'LL LINK THE FINANCE SUBCOMMITTEE WITH VALERIE AL, UM, BECAUSE SHE DID SAY IT WAS GREAT AN APPLICATION AND THEN I ASKED ABOUT THE APPLICATION. 
          SO I'LL FORWARD ALL THAT INFORMATION TO THE, I THINK START ON NOW. 
          I BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN, YOU HAVE BEEN RIGHT? LIKE WE DID THIS SUBCOMMITTEE FOR FINANCE ASSISTANT MEETING. 
          SO WE HAD A MEETING, A MEETING LAST TIME. 
          YEAH. 
          A LITTLE COMMITTEE MEETING. 
          OKAY. 
          AND WE NEED TO HAVE MORE. 
          OF COURSE. 
          YES. 
          UM, COULD YOU TELL US HOW MUCH IS LEFT OF THE BUDGET AS OF TODAY? UM, I DO NOT HAVE, YEAH, 
          [00:55:01]
I DO. 
          I DON'T HAVE THAT ON ME RIGHT NOW. 
          OKAY. 
          COULD YOU ASK VALERIE TO PROVIDE THAT WHEN SHE PROVIDES THE INSTRUCTIONS? YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          YOUR ACCOUNT IS A LITTLE DIFF IT'S DIFFERENT FROM SOLID WASTE. 
          YOUR ACCOUNT COMES OUT OF GENERAL FUNDING AND NOT THE SOLID WASTE BUDGET. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT WE CAN PULL THAT DATA FOR YOU. 
          I DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A DESIGNATED BUSINESS MANAGER FOR SOLID WASTE. 
          UM, BUT I WILL DEFINITELY GET YOU THE REMAINING FUNDS. 
          GREAT. 
          I PUT TOGETHER A, A SPREADSHEET, UM, AND I WAS HOPING I COULD PRESENT IT ON THE SCREEN AND I, I GUESS I, CAN YOU GET THAT TO ME BEFORE I CAN ALWAYS ADD IT INTO SLIDE. 
          OKAY. 
          I'LL DO THAT NEXT TIME. 
          YEAH, SORRY, WE, THEY SET THIS UP AND IT'S OKAY. 
          THAT'S OKAY. 
          I'M NOT SURE HOW TO CAST YOUR SO I, I WENT THROUGH THE, THE WORD DOCUMENT WITH ALL THE REQUESTS IN IT AND I HAD, UM, I HAD SEVEN DIFFERENT LINE ITEMS WERE REQUESTED FOR 24 25 FY 24 25. 
          OKAY. 
          DOES THAT SOUND ABOUT RIGHT? ABOUT SEVEN THINGS. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I'M GONNA, I I APOLOGIZE. 
          I DON'T HAVE THE PAPER IN FRONT OF ME, BUT I CAN READ IT HERE. 
          UM, WE HAD PLANTINGS FOR GARDEN GARDENERS, GARDENS CORNER, AND JOE FRAZIER'S CIRCLE OF $82,000. 
          THAT WAS THE REQUEST. 
          UH, WILD FLOWERS ALONG MAJOR HIGHWAYS, $7,500 IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING LANDSCAPED AREAS, 5,500 HERITAGE SIGNS AT COUNTY ENTRANCES, 20 K IMPLEMENT ADDITIONAL, UH, LITTER CONTROL, 150 K ADOPT A HIGHWAY PROGRAM, 3,500 AND ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS 1500. 
          I I YOU ALL HAVE READ THAT NOTE BEFORE I'M SURE. 
          'CAUSE YOU WERE PART OF THE PROCESS. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO YOU KIND OF KNOW BASICALLY THE ITEMS THAT WERE REQUESTED FOR. 
          UM, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE WERE FUNDED AT 50 K. 
          YES. 
          SO WHAT WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT RIGHT NOW, 'CAUSE WE CAN'T, IF WE'RE GONNA DO IT AS A TEAM, WE HAVE TO DO IT IN THIS MEETING. 
          I UNDERSTAND. 
          YEP. 
          YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT MONEY DO WE WANNA SPEND OF THAT 50 KI HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH MONEY IS LEFT. 
          SO I DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH MONEY HAS BEEN SPENT. 
          UM, BUT WE COULD START AT 50 K IS WHAT WE HAVE TO ALLOCATE. 
          IT PROBABLY WOULD BE BEST TO STICK TO THESE SEVEN ITEMS AND DECIDE WHERE WE WANNA PUT MONEY. 
          BUT A BIG CRITERIA HAS TO BE WHAT CAN BE DONE, AT LEAST CAN WE GET RECEIPTS FOR BY MARCH 31ST? RIGHT. 
          UM, NO, YOUR, YOUR BUDGET ENDS JUNE, THE END OF JUNE. 
          JUNE 30 FOR YOUR BUDGET. 
          JUNE 30TH. 
          YES. 
          OKAY, GREAT. 
          SO WE SHOULD HAVE TIME TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WAS REQUESTED LAST YEAR. 
          THERE ISN'T ENOUGH MONEY TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WAS REQUESTED LAST YEAR, SO WE GOTTA DECIDE WHAT DO WE WANNA SPEND 50 K ON. 
          BUT WE NEED TO FIND OUT FIRST WHAT WE'VE GOT LEFT, BUT THERE'S ALMOST NOTHING HAS BEEN SPENT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY SAFELY ALLOCATE 50 K. 
          WILL WE, AND THEN JUST BE PREPARED TO REDUCE A LITTLE BIT HERE AND THERE IF WE HAVE TO. 
          I THINK THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMMITTED TWO, PARDON ME? THERE'S BEEN PLENTY THAT'S BEEN COMMITTED. 
          TWO OUT OF THE 50 K THAT'S NECESS AND IT HAS NOT BEEN SPENT YET. 
          HOW HAS IT, IN WHAT WAY HAS IT BEEN COMMITTED VERBALLY? SIGNS? WELL, I JUST RAN DOWN THE LIST OF, OF WHAT WAS REQUESTED. 
          WELL, THE SIGNS ARE ON HIS LIST. 
          YEAH. 
          EVERYTHING COME UP FROM THIS FISCAL YEAR, THIS YEAR. 
          YEAR ENDING JUNE. 
          YEAH. 
          ENDING IN JUNE. 
          YEAH. 
          OF THE 50 THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO OUR BUDGET. 
          HOW MUCH HAS BEEN COMMITTED TO THIS YEAR? UH, COMMITTED. 
          I, I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WORD. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          AS IN WHAT, WHAT IS THE COST FOR THIS? THE JOE FRAZIER ALREADY AGREED TO AND WHAT AND GARDNER'S CORNER. 
          I DON'T THINK ANYTHING'S BEEN COMMITTED. 
          I THINK THAT THIS WAS THE YOU SOME MONTHS ON BILLBOARD. 
          YES. 
          YES, THAT'S CORRECT. 
          BILLBOARD. 
          AND YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT. 
          I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. 
          SO THAT'S FINE. 
          FLO'S BEEN MANAGING YOUR ACCOUNT. 
          UM, BUT SHE LEFT, UM, SHE LEFT A SPREADSHEET WE PULLED. 
          YEAH, I NEED THAT EMAIL IT TO YOU. 
          BASICALLY ACCRUED EXPENSE. 
          UH, CAPEX. 
          I I CAN, I CAN PROBABLY GIVE YOU A GOOD IDEA OR A CLOSE IDEA OF HOW MUCH WE'VE SPENT OR COMMITTED TO OR COMMITTED TO. 
          YEAH. 
          ONE, WE HAD SIGNS THAT WERE, WHAT WAS THAT? YEAH, YOU HAD A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE SIGNS, CORRECT? MM-HMM . 
          OR MORE WHO, WHO? BILLBOARDS, WHO MAINTAINS WHILE WE MAINTAINS THE BUDGET, I THINK, I GUESS THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING, RIGHT. 
          UM, I, WE ARE SORT OF THE, THE FRAZIER CIRCLE. 
          WE PULLED THAT OUT OF THE OVERALL PLAN. 
          THERE WAS A GARDEN CORNER PLAN AND THEN THERE WAS, WE WERE ALSO KIND OF THROWING IN THE, THE 
          [01:00:01]
FRAZIER CIRCLE FOR DIANE. 
          AND, UM, BECAUSE I'M THE FIRST PERSON WHO ASK FOR WILD FLOWERS AND PLANNING. 
          YES. 
          AND SHE IS AN ELDER HERE. 
          AND WE, I'M AN ELDER ANYWAY. 
          UM, SO THAT WAS, OH, AND THEN WE FOUND OUT THAT WE CAN SPEND UP TO $4,999 WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE SEVERAL BIDS. 
          AND, AND SINCE WE DON'T HAVE A, A MAJOR PROJECT ON THE TABLE LIKE WE DID, THE GARDENS CORNER PROJECT WOULD, WOULD'VE, WOULD'VE CAUSED US, WE MAY HAVE HAD TO GET SOME BIDS ON THAT, WHICH WOULD, BEFORE WE DIDN'T. 
          SO WE CAN SPEND UP TO $5,000. 
          SO THE, THE PROJECT AT THE CIRCLE WITH A AGREEMENT WITH GREENERY IS, UH, $4,999. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN WE'RE GONNA DO A, A THREE YEAR MAINTENANCE PLAN ON THAT CIRCLE. 
          AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT'S GOING TO COST, BUT IT'S GONNA BE, AND IT COULD PROBABLY COME OUTTA NEXT YEAR'S MONEY. 
          YOU'LL PAY FOR IT EACH YEAR THOUGH. 
          YEAH. 
          WE'LL PAY FOR IT EACH. 
          YEAH. 
          ADVANCE PAY. 
          BUT STILL, THAT'LL BE SOMETHING. 
          UM, WE TALKED ABOUT DOING THOSE SIGNS THAT I WANTED TO DO. 
          UH, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THEM, I THINK I TOLD Y'ALL BEFORE THAT, FOR $5,000 A PIECE AND THEN $5,000 TO INSTALL 'EM. 
          UM, THERE WAS NO COMMITMENT TO THAT. 
          BUT THAT WAS ON THE TABLE TOO. 
          HAS THAT BEEN AGREED TO OR? IT HADN'T BEEN AGREED TO BY THE BOARD. 
          OKAY. 
          AND SO IT'S NOT, NOW WHO RUNS THE VICTORIA, WHO RUNS OUR KIND OF REAL TIME BUDGET? CHLOE, YOU GOT 50,000, THEN WE'VE GOT WHAT WE COMMITTED TO, WHAT WE SPENT IS ANYBODY, YOU'RE IN THE GENERAL FUND. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO I AM NOT PRIVY TO ALL INFORMATION. 
          YEAH. 
          I KNOW. 
          WE TRACK YOUR SPENDING. 
          SO WE KNOW THAT YOU SPENT $3,000 ON BILLBOARDS, BUT AS FAR AS YOUR GENERAL FUND BUDGET, IT'S OUT OF SOLID WASTE. 
          SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO IT. 
          IS THERE A WAY WE, WE CAN, WE GET, I MEAN, IT'D BE HELPFUL. 
          WE ALL HAD, WE'RE KIND OF OPERATING OFF THE SAME. 
          YEAH, I WAS SAYING I WAS GONNA SEND YOU, I'LL PULL THE INFORMATION. 
          I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET IT FOR YOU. 
          I'LL PULL THE INFORMATION FROM EUNICE AND SEE WHAT'S IN THAT. 
          BUT AS FAR AS, UM, IT'S NOT IN THE SOLID WASTE BUDGET, SO I DON'T HAVE, IT'S NOT READILY AVAILABLE TO ME. 
          AS I SAID, CURRENTLY I'M DOWN A BUSINESS MANAGER. 
          SO, BECAUSE GENE, GENE IS OBVIOUSLY WORKING ON, ON THIS AND THERE'S NO WAY TO RECONCILE WHAT HE'S GOT GOING WITH WHAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN DONE. 
          AND, AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST MEETING. 
          WE'VE KIND OF GONE AROUND AND AROUND AND AROUND ON THIS. 
          IT SHOULD BE ON SHAREPOINT TOO. 
          WE SAID THIS THE ACTUAL BUDGET AND, AND YEAH. 
          I'M NOT SURE. 
          I DIDN'T, OKAY. 
          SO WE'RE NOT SURE. 
          OKAY. 
          BUT IF IT'S NOT, IT WILL BE AS, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. 
          UM, WELL, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF, UM, GENE KIND OF KEPT AN EYE ON THOSE THINGS. 
          WELL, ALL OF US. 
          ALL OF US. 
          ALL OF US. 
          WE KNOW WE'RE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. 
          YEAH. 
          BECAUSE IF YOU'RE COMMITTING TO WHATEVER SIGNS AND NO ONE ELSE IS, THEN WE, WE GOTTA KIND OF RECONCILE THAT. 
          WELL, WE ALL TALKED ABOUT THE SIGNS, UH, AT ONE POINT WAS, IT MAY HAVE BEEN IN A MEETING THAT WE DIDN'T, I DON'T REMEMBER. 
          YEAH. 
          WE TALKING ABOUT IT. 
          ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT BILLBOARDS SEPARATE OUT INTO SUBCOMMITTEES, MEET IN THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND THEN COME BACK TO US SO WE CAN WORK THROUGH ALL OF THIS PRIOR TO THIS MEETING? WELL, THE SIGNS WERE AGREED UPON BY THE BOARD. 
          YES, THAT'S CORRECT. 
          'CAUSE THAT WAS PUT INTO THE ORIGINAL BUDGET. 
          RIGHT. 
          SINCE WE DIDN'T GET ALL THE MONEY THAT WE REQUESTED, IT'S NOW TRYING TO DECIDE OF WHAT THAT BUDGET WAS, WHAT WE WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY ON. 
          BUT THERE SHOULD BE A WORKING DOCUMENT THAT WE SHOULD BE ALL, UH, PRIVY TO. 
          YES. 
          HAVE A COPY RIGHT HERE. 
          OR EVERY TIME WE SIT DOWN. 
          EVERY TIME. 
          YES. 
          MM-HMM . 
          LAST TIME WE MET, YOU ALL AGREED ON EXTENDING YOUR BILLBOARD, RIGHT? AND THAT WAS A $3,000 COST. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THEN THE, UM, TIMEFRAME FOR THE BUDGETING WAS BROUGHT UP. 
          AND THIS IS ALL IN YOUR AGENDA MEETING MINUTES. 
          YEP. 
          AND THEN THE COMMITTEE'S RECAP AS FOLLOWS. 
          WE HAD ONE MENTION OF, UM, A MISCOMMUNICATION ON COMMITTEE. 
          'CAUSE I DON'T THINK MS. BOGEY WAS HERE THAT DAY. 
          AND THEN THE SUBCOMMITTEE WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET, MAKE DECISIONS AND COME PREPARED TODAY TO PRESENT THOSE DECISIONS ON WHAT YOU WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. 
          SO WE'RE SUPPOSED TO VOTE TODAY ON THE THINGS THAT WE, BUT THE, THE THEI IMPEDIMENT ON THAT IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE A DOCUMENT. 
          SO WE CAN MAKE ALL DECISIONS WE WANT, BUT WE HAVE NOTHING. 
          EXACTLY. 
          BUT THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. 
          WE CAN'T COMPARE IT TO ANYTHING AND THEN COME TO OUR OFFICE LIKE WE ALREADY TOLD YOU TO DO. 
          YOU WOULD HAVE THAT. 
          BECAUSE YOU TELLING ME NOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE IT DOESN'T CIRCUMVENT THE FACT THAT YOU NEVER MET, 
          [01:05:01]
YOU NEVER DISCUSSED IT. 
          WE DIDN'T MEET THOUGH. 
          AND YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS UNTIL TODAY. 
          SO NOW THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR IT, YES. 
          I CAN GET YOU THAT DOCUMENT. 
          I DON'T HAVE IT NOW. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I ASKED FOR IT. 
          I ASKED FOR IT LAST TIME. 
          JEAN ASKED FOR IT LAST TIME AGO. 
          TWO MONTHS AGO. 
          I ASKED FOR IT JUST BECAUSE WE, WHEN WE AGREED TO SET UP A FINANCE COMMITTEE. 
          WHEN DID YOU ASK FOR IT AS PART OF THAT CONVERSATION? IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT IN THE NOTES. 
          AND IT, I APOLOGIZE IF WE DIDN'T GET IN THE NOTES, IF YOU COULD TELL US. 
          OKAY. 
          REMEMBER. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, WE'RE OKAY NOW. 
          IT'S OKAY. 
          WE WILL, WE, WE GET, WE'LL GET THIS SORTED OUT. 
          MET. 
          WELL, I'M HEARING AN EXPECTATION THAT I HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE. 
          I HEARD JUST NOW IN THE CONVERSATION BACK AND FORTH THAT THE SUBCOMMITTEES ARE EXPECTED TO MEET BETWEEN FULL COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD WAYS TO CONTACT OTHER PEOPLE. 
          SO, YOU KNOW, WE NEED A ROSTER AND WE NEED SOME KIND OF STRUCTURE FOR THE EXPECTATION THAT THE COMMITTEES MEET AND, UH, MAYBE EVEN A DATE BY WHICH WE REPORT TO ADMINISTRATION BEFORE THE MEETING. 
          I DON'T THINK THAT THAT FRAMEWORK HAS BEEN CLEAR. 
          THE ROSTER FOR THIS GROUP IS ONLINE. 
          THERE'S ALSO A ROSTER HERE THAT WE'RE ASKING YOU ALL TO UPDATE TODAY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO THAT WILL BE SENT OUT AGAIN. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, I'VE BEEN TO SHAREPOINT SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ALL THAT ON THE COUNTY'S WEBSITE. 
          YEAH, YOU GO TO THE COUNTY WEBSITE, YOU GO TO THE BOARD'S WEBSITE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN YOU GO TO THE MATCH BOARD SITE. 
          ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION IS UP THERE. 
          ANYBODY CAN SEE IT, NOT JUST BOARD MEMBERS. 
          NO, I AGREE WITH THAT. 
          BUT LET'S GET BACK TO THE FINANCE AND THE FACT THAT WE, WE ALL NEED A LIVING DOCUMENT EVERY TIME WE'RE HERE. 
          HEARD MM-HMM . 
          OKAY. 
          HEARD. 
          AND AS I'VE ALREADY SAID, YOU'LL GET IT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          GREAT. 
          THANKS. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CAN WE TALK ABOUT WHERE THE PRIORITIES OF THE BOARD ARE IN TERMS OF SPENDING THE ABOUT 50,000 , OF WHICH ABOUT 8,000 HAS ALREADY BEEN OBLIGATED. 
          RIGHT? SO NOW I, UNLESS SOMEONE HAS AN OTHER HISTORY THAT SAYS NO, NO, WE AGREED TO YOU SAID COMMITTED. 
          WE, WE AGREED TO SPEND SOMETHING ELSE ELSEWHERE. 
          NOW THAT NUMBER'S 42,000. 
          CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I'LL GO REAL QUICK THROUGH THE LISTING. 
          AGAIN, GARDENER'S CORNER AND FRAZIER'S CIRCLE, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE, 5K IS WHAT'S DEDICATED TO GAR TO FRAZIER CIRCLE. 
          THE FUNDING AND EXPENSES FOR GARDNER'S CORNER IS MOSTLY COVERED. 
          YOU MIGHT NEED A LITTLE BIT MORE. 
          YEAH, A LITTLE IS UNDER A THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
          A HUNDRED PERCENT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THAT'S EASY. 
          WE CAN CARE. 
          WE CAN, WE CAN DEAL WITH THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO SECOND ONE WAS WILDFLOWERS ALONG MAJOR HIGHWAYS. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAD $7,500 FOR IT. 
          DOES ANYONE HAVE AN IDEA OF WHAT'S THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF FUNDING WE COULD PROVIDE AND STILL HAVE IMPACT PACT? REPHRASE YOUR QUESTION. 
          I DON'T THINK I UNDERSTAND IT. 
          IF WE DROP THAT TO $2,000, IS IT TOO SMALL TO MAKE ANY IMPACT? YES. 
          I DON'T KNOW. 
          I'M, THAT'S WHY I'M, I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. 
          THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING. 
          I I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE'VE SPENT ON WILDFLOWERS ALREADY, BUT IF WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE REST OF THE MONEY THAT REMAINS TO US, YOU KNOW, I THINK THE WILDFLOWERS ARE REALLY GOOD IDEA. 
          IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TAKING MONEY AWAY FROM WILDFLOWERS. 
          WHAT, WHAT I'M, WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, A BUDGET REQUEST OF 270 K AND WE ONLY HAVE 42,000 SPENT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO THE QUESTION IS, SOME ITEMS, LIKE CHRIS HAD TALKED ABOUT THESE SIGNS MM-HMM . 
          HE THINKS HE CAN DO A SIGN FOR 5K MM-HMM . 
          RATHER THAN DOING FOUR, WHICH IS WHAT WE HAD IN THE BUDGET. 
          MM-HMM . 
          MAYBE WE DO ONE THAT'S 5,000. 
          WELL, WE WERE GONNA DO TWO. 
          YEAH. 
          JUST, OH, OKAY. 
          BUT IF YOU DO TWO, THEN SOMETHING ELSE IS NOT GONNA GET FUNDED. 
          SO THAT I JUST, THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO WORK THROUGH. 
          MM-HMM. 
          I GOT, I GOT YOU. 
          WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT? RIGHT? WELL, WE, TO ME THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS VISUAL IMPACT RIGHT NOW. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UH, TO BRING OUR, OUR NAME, OUR LOGO, WHO WE ARE TO THE PUBLIC MORE. 
          SO THE WILDFLOWERS, I THINK IS, IS AN IMPORTANT PROJECT AND SHOULD BE FULLY FUNDED. 
          UH, WE COULD, THE SIGNS, MAYBE WE COULD PUT ONE OFF UNTIL NEXT YEAR. 
          UH, BUT, UM, THEY'RE, THEY'RE NICE AND THEY'RE WONDERFUL AND THEY HELP. 
          AND WE COULD PUT IT OFF TOO. 
          UM, BUT I THINK PERHAPS WE COULD PUT THOSE OFF. 
          THE, THE ISSUE HERE I THINK IS PRIORITIES, RIGHT? MM-HMM . 
          UH, AND SO WE NEED TO DECIDE ON PRIORITIES, RIGHT? IMPACT IS WHAT WE NEED MOST. 
          DIGITAL IMPACT. 
          WELL, UM, I ALWAYS SAID THAT LITTER, IF EVERYTHING ELSE FELL, LITTER WOULD BE OUR MAIN FOCUS. 
          WELL, ABSOLUTELY. 
          BUT I THINK THE 150 K OF FUNDING REQUESTED 
          [01:10:01]
WAS VERY, I GET THE IMPRESSION, AGAIN, I AM NEW TO THIS, BUT I HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE COUNTY WANTS TO FUND LITTER COLLECTION THROUGH JESUS AND HIS TEAM. 
          RIGHT. 
          DOESN'T WANNA FUND LITTER COLLECTION THROUGH THIS BOARD. 
          IS THAT A FAIR STATEMENT? IS THAT WHAT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND? I, I DON'T KNOW THE FACT OF WHETHER THAT'S FACTUAL OR NOT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, WHO SAID IN THE LAST MEETING SAID IF, IF WE ALLOCATE SOME OF OUR RESOURCES TO JOSE, THEN THE COUNTY WON'T JESUS, JESUS MUCH. 
          GIVE US JESUS. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          DO I SAY JESUS? JESUS. 
          SORRY. 
          JESUS. 
          UM, AND I JUST LOOK AT IT THAT, DON'T WE WANT TO PICK UP THIS LETTER NO MATTER WHERE THE FUNDS ARE COMING, THEY'RE FUNGIBLE. 
          SO I HAVE, I PROBABLY HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON THAT. 
          BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S A BIG PROBLEM HERE NO MATTER WHAT, WHERE THE FUNDS ARE COMING FROM. 
          SO, AND THAT'S ALSO A VISUAL PROBLEM, CORRECT? MM-HMM . 
          SO THE, THE QUESTION IS, ARE WE ABLE TO DO THAT? LIKE, CAN WE LET A CONTRACT AS A TEAM, LET A CONTRACT AND PICK UP LITTER ON X, Y, Z STREET? IS THAT, IS THAT WITHIN OUR PURVIEW TO DO THAT? YES. 
          IF IT'S GOING TO BE A CONTRACT THAT EQUATE, WE EQUATE TO OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, THEN WE NEED TO GO OUT TO BID. 
          NO, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. 
          DOWN. 
          WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. 
          WE DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE NEAR THAT KIND OF MONEY. 
          YOU HAVE QUOTES FOR THIS SERVICE. 
          AND THIS IS ANOTHER THING THAT RATED WE TOLD YOU LAST TIME, WAS WHENEVER YOU'RE FINDING A SOURCE AND WHAT TO SPEND MONEY ON, THEN YOU HAVE TO GET THESE QUOTES. 
          SO YOU'RE SURE THAT IT'S FALLING WITHIN THE PROCUREMENT PERIMETERS. 
          AND THAT'S WHY I SENT YOU THE PROCUREMENT PERIMETERS. 
          YOU DID. 
          YOU DID LAST TIME. 
          DID YOU DID. 
          SO IF YOU WANT TO DO THIS YES. 
          GREAT. 
          GO OUT AND GET QUOTES. 
          SO THEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO WORK WITH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE CAN FUND LITTER CLEANUP. 
          YOU CAN, WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PROCESS. 
          OF COURSE. 
          YOU CAN FIND A THIRD PARTY VENDOR OKAY. 
          FOR LITTER CLEANUP. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          WHAT YOU CANNOT, WHAT WOULD TAKE A LOT OF TIME AND WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT GET APPROVED UNTIL FISCAL YEAR 26TH, IS TO INCREASE POSITIONS WITHIN THE COUNTY. 
          RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          'CAUSE THAT IT START, THAT STARTS WHENEVER YOU'RE CREATING A BUDGET. 
          I DON'T, AN FY 26. 
          IF YOU'RE WANTED TO CREATE ADDITIONAL, UM, BUDGET ITEMS SUCH AS PERSONNEL, THAT'S WHEN WE CAN REQUEST THAT. 
          UNLESS IT'S A SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY WHERE IT HAS TO GO THROUGH ALSO HR. 
          BUT IF YOU WANT TO, IF YOU WANT TO USE YOUR FUNDS TO HIRE A CONTRACTOR TO DO THAT, YES, YOU CAN DO THAT. 
          YOU NEED QUOTES. 
          IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT WE DO NOT WANT TO PROVIDE FUNDS TO HAVE THE COUNTY HIRE SOMEBODY NEW? OR DO PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THAT MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA? WE SHOULD DISCUSS THAT. 
          ACTUALLY, I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA. 
          WE WERE TALKING ABOUT LITTER ENFORCEMENT AND I KEEP HEARING THAT WE HAVE ONE PERSON TO ENFORCE 900 SQUARE MILES. 
          YEAH, THAT'S NUTS. 
          AND, AND IF WE WERE GONNA DO ANYTHING THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE, I THINK, UM, THE PETITION THAT WAS DISCUSSED EARLIER AND APPEALING TO THE COUNTY FOR MORE PERSONNEL FOR ENFORCEMENT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA. 
          MOST OF THE LITTER I SEE FLIES OUT OF THE BACK OF PEOPLE'S TRUCKS AND CARS, AND THERE'S NO CONSEQUENCE FOR IT. 
          UM, I THINK PUTTING SIGNS OUT IS GREAT, BUT THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT REALLY APPRECIATE KEEP BE FOR BEAUTIFUL SIGNS ARE PEOPLE THAT AREN'T LITTERING IN THE FIRST PLACE. 
          SO I TEND TO THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A CONSEQUENCE FOR PEOPLE WHO DO LITTER. 
          AND KEEP IN MIND, UM, DR. 
          JEAN HAS AN ORGANIZATION ALREADY SET UP FOR ALL THAT. 
          AND MAYBE WE COULD MAKE A, WHAT'S THAT ORGANIZATION? THE OUTSIDE FOUNDATION MM-HMM . 
          AND IN TERMS OF, WE DON'T CONTRACT OUT ANY OF THAT THOUGH. 
          NO. 
          BUT YOU DO AN AWFUL LOT OF LITRE. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT IT'S ALL VOLUNTEER BASED. 
          SO, BUT YOU'RE TREATING THE SYMPTOMS AGAIN. 
          EXACTLY. 
          I THINK WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS CREATING SOME ENFORCEMENT. 
          THERE'S NO ENFORCEMENT. 
          WE HAVE ONE GENTLEMAN HERE. 
          WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE SHERIFF, I MEAN, I'VE GIVEN THE NUMBERS, THEY'RE PATHETIC. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE'S NO TICKETING VIRTUALLY GIVEN NONE. 
          I MEAN, ONE GUY CAN'T DO THE WHOLE DAMN JOB. 
          YEAH. 
          SO ARE THERE ORDINANCES THAT WOULD PERMIT TICKETING BY POLICE OFFICERS? I, I ACTUALLY, ACTUALLY IN BLUFFTON, I ASKED TO BE DEPUTIZED A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND WAS TOLD, YOU KNOW, GO FLY A KITE. 
          BUT I MEAN, THERE UNTIL THERE'S CONSEQUENCES, LIKE I HAVE SAID, IF, IF THERE WERE NO CONSEQUENCES TO DRUNK DRIVING, WE'D HAVE DRUNK DRIVERS ALL OVER THE PLACE. 
          AND UNTIL THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO SEE. 
          RIGHT. 
          I MEAN, I WAS DRIVING UP HERE TODAY AND THERE'S A BIG GARBAGE TRUCK AND CRAPS FLYING OUT THE BACK AGAIN. 
          YEP. 
          I MEAN, WHETHER IT BE TARPING, WHETHER IT BE TARPS ON WORK TRUCKS, THERE'S NO REQUIREMENTS ON THIS STUFF. 
          PEOPLE WHO DRIVE, THERE'S NO ONE LOOKING AT IT. 
          PICKUP TRUCKS JUST THROW THE GARBAGE IN THE BACK, THEN THEY GO DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES AN HOUR, IT FLIES OUT AGAIN. 
          BUT WHEN YOU HAVE 44 TICKETS GIVEN IN THREE YEARS BY THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, AIN'T HAPPENING. 
          DO WE NEED TO WORK WITH THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT? I'VE ASKED THAT QUESTION BEFORE AND IT WENT NOWHERE. 
          [01:15:03]
THEY'RE A LITTLE RELUCTANT. 
          YES, PAUL, THAT'S MY ORDER CALL FOR ORDER. 
          YES. 
          I KNOW. 
          UM, IN MARYLAND WHERE I USED TO LIVE, IF YOU SAW SOMEONE THROW A CIGARETTE BUTT OR A CUP OR SOMETHING OUT OF THEIR VEHICLE AND IT LANDED ON THE ROAD, YOU WOULD TAKE THEIR DRIVER'S. 
          WE HAVE THAT AND PROBABLY CAN ANSWER THIS COURSE TODAY. 
          YOU WOULD TAKE THE DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER AND CALL THE NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER OF THE LICENSE PLACE POLICE DEPARTMENT. 
          DO YOU HAVE THAT APP? WE HAVE IT APP, BUFORT COUNTY. 
          WE HAVE THAT BUFORT COUNTY CONNECT. 
          YOU CAN TAKE A PICTURE. 
          YOU CAN DOWN, YOU CAN PUT IT RIGHT IN THERE AND YOU CAN SEND IT. 
          AND WILL THEY OH YEAH. 
          THEY WILL FIND THE FIRST. 
          YEP. 
          BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THAT IT'S RECEIVED OPEN, CLOSED. 
          WOW. 
          SO I'VE TAKEN, YOU HAD TO, I'VE TAKEN PICTURES. 
          PICTURE OF THE TRASH AND THE LICENSE PLATE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO LIKE GOING ACROSS THE BRIDGE AND YOU SEE STUFF FLYING OUT OF A TRUCK, YOU GRAB A PICTURE OF IT AND THEN YOU REPORT IT. 
          BUT AGAIN, IF THE LIST OF REPORTS IS A MILE LONG AND, AND WE GET ONE, YOU KNOW, PERSON, UH, TO, TO GET TICKETED IN, IN A YEAR, WELL, THEY JUST SEND THEM LIKE, LIKE, LIKE I RUN, NOT ON A RUN. 
          THERE'S STILL NOT ENOUGH ENFORCEMENT. 
          DON'T SPEAK BAY BRIDGE. 
          I DON'T GO, THERE'S NO TO BOOK ANYMORE. 
          SO THEY TAKE A PICTURE OF MY DRIVER'S LICENSE AND SEND ME A BILL. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO COULDN'T THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DO THE SAME THING? OKAY. 
          WE GIVE THEM THE DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER. 
          THAT'S, AND THEN THEY SEND, THAT'S A LEGISLATION ISSUE. 
          SOUTH CAROLINA STATE LAW. 
          WOULD THAT BE STATE LAW TO GIVE A TICKET? YEAH. 
          YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY GIVE IT TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IF YOU RAN THE PLATE, YEAH. 
          I WOULD'VE TO 100% WITHOUT A DOUBT, HAVE THE ID OF THAT DRIVER. 
          OH, MM-HMM . 
          SO SOMEBODY BORROWING A CAR, RENT THE CAR CONVERSATION ABOUT, UH, RUNNING RED LIGHT. 
          SO THAT'S GOING TO GO NOWHERE THAT ALREADY KNOW, BUT YEAH, SAME. 
          SO WE HAVE TO BE STATE, JUST LIKE NOT COUNTY. 
          IT WOULD HAVE TO BE CORRECT. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          WELL THANK YOU SO MUCH, MA'AM. 
          BUT YOU CAN, YOU CAN DO THOSE REPORTS, BUT AGAIN, IT PROBABLY JUST GOES TO THE COMPANY WHERE THEY'RE SAYING, WELL, THIS WAS SEEN GOING OUT OF YOUR TRUCK COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING ONE MORNING AND THERE WAS A TRASH TRUCK. 
          LIKE, UM, WHERE WAS THINGS FORD FULL OF NEWSPAPERS. 
          AND IT, AND IT FLEW OUT, BUT BACK IT LOOKED LIKE IT SNOW NEWSPAPERS FROM SIMMONS ROAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO ROSE HILL. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO I WAS IN MY CAR AND I CALLED HER ADMINISTRATOR AT THE TIME AND I TOLD HIM, I SAID, SOMEBODY NEEDS TO COME UP OUT AND PICK THIS UP. 
          YOU REMEMBER THAT? YOU DO WHAT I MEAN, IT LOOKED LIKE IT'S SNOW STREET. 
          AND THEY, I, OUR PUBLICS WORST DEPARTMENT WAS WONDERFUL BECAUSE THEY WENT OUT THERE AND CLEANED IT ALL. 
          YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A NEWSPAPER ARREST. 
          BUT THAT'S STILL TREATING THE SYMPTOMS. AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM. 
          AND IT'S IN THE RECORD. 
          I OFFERED TO PAY FOR PLATE READING CAMERAS UP AND DOWN MAY RIVER ROAD A COUPLE YEARS AGO. 
          OH REALLY? OH, I DID TO THE, THE BLUFFING. 
          I DID IT IN HERE AND NOTHING FELL FLAT. 
          AND I KNOW THEY'VE GOT 'EM IN TOWN. 
          SO IT'S NOT THAT IT'S, IT'S OBVIOUSLY, YOU KNOW, I'VE REPORTED TRASH, LICENSE PLATES, EVERYTHING GOING UP AND DOWN MAY RIVER ROAD TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, BLUFF AND CRICKETS. 
          MM-HMM . 
          SO UNTIL THERE'S, THERE'S ACTUAL SOMEBODY WHO CAN ACTUALLY GET IN THERE AND MAKE, MAKE ACTION HAPPEN WITHIN THE POLICE. 
          WE NEED CHECK THE ENFORCEMENT. 
          IT, IT, IT'S, WE'RE BEATING OUR HEADS AGAINST THE WALL. 
          WE NEED CHECKPOINTS. 
          WELL, I DIDN'T REALIZE IT'S A STATE ISSUE. 
          IT CAN'T BE A COUNTY ISSUE. 
          WELL, THAT'S, THAT'S PART OF MY EMAILS TO OUR SENATE, OUR SENATOR AND OTHER REPRESENTATIVES WHO MAYBE CAN GET TO THE STATE LEVEL AND IT, YOU KNOW, IT FALLS FLAT. 
          HERE'S A LEGISLATION CURRENTLY BEING, UH, RE-LOOKED AT, UH, TO ASSIST IN GETTING, UM, MORE LITTER, LITTER PATROL OFFICER, BUT NOT REALLY OFFICERS. 
          SO AN INTENT TO ASSIST IN THAT. 
          AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY JUST ASKED US FOR, UM, INFORMATION ON. 
          SO THERE IS A LEGISLATIVE IN PLACE NOW. 
          STATE, STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATION. 
          YEP. 
          STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATION MAY REQUESTED INFORMATION FROM US REGARDING, UH, PHYSICAL IMPACT. 
          SO THERE ARE MOVE SMALL MOVEMENTS THERE. 
          IS THERE A WAY WE COULD FIND OUT ABOUT WHAT THAT LEGISLATION IS SO THAT WE COULD RESPOND TO THE APPROPRIATE, UM, GOVERNMENT ENTITIES, THE APPROPRIATE REPRESENTATIVES IN SUPPORT OF IT? I THINK IF WE COMMUNICATE AS A GROUP, IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL. 
          I AGREE. 
          YEAH. 
          I'LL SEND YOU THE LINK TO THE AMENDMENT EVERY YEAR AT THE ANNUAL, UM, STATEWIDE LITTER CONVENTION THAT IS HELD UP IN, UM, IT'S A COMBINATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND, UH, LITTLE GROUPS LIKE OURS. 
          AND, UM, THE PARKING LOT IS FULL OF TRUCKS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTIES THAT HAVE LITTER PATROL ON THE BACK OF THEM. 
          AND I ALWAYS SAY, I WISH, UM, WE COULD DO THAT HERE IN BEAUFORT COUNTY. 
          NOW, 
          [01:20:01]
I, I, UM, I KNOW THEY'RE, THEY'RE SHORT. 
          I KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS A, A LOT OF REASONS AND, UM, AND I HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF ADMIRATION FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HERE. 
          BUT, UM, CHRIS, JUST A QUICK, UM, BE GOOD. 
          WE, YEAH. 
          REAL QUICK. 
          IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER A WHILE BACK, A COUPLE YEARS AGO, THEY HAD THE RED LIGHT CAMERAS, . 
          DO YOU GUYS REMEMBER THAT? MM-HMM . 
          REMEMBER DISAPPEAR WITHIN LIKE, OH, I DON'T KNOW, MONTHS. 
          REMEMBER THAT? THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATION LAW. 
          RIGHT. 
          'CAUSE THE SHERIFF AND I, WHEN WE WERE CAMPAIGNING, THAT'S, I SAID TO HIM IN A, IN ONE OF OUR, YOU KNOW, MEETINGS WE WERE ALL AT. 
          AND, UH, HE SAID, YOU CAN'T, HE SAID EXACTLY WHAT YOU JUST SAID. 
          YOU CAN'T SIT TICKET SOMEBODY TO THE OWNER OF THAT CAR. 
          THAT OWNER OF THEIR CAR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN DRIVING THAT VEHICLE THROUGH MM-HMM . 
          SO YOU CAN'T DO THAT. 
          AND THEN I DID FURTHER RESEARCH ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT GOVERNOR MARK SANFORD SIGNED IT TO LAW. 
          NO TRAFFIC HANDLE CAMERAS. 
          THEY'RE ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. 
          SO THAT, YEAH. 
          'CAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER THING I WAS TRYING TO BRING UP IN MARYLAND. 
          I SAID, I LITERALLY SAT OUT ON THE CORNERS OF MOSS CREEK AND VILLE ROAD AND ANOTHER ONE AND JUST WALKED, I WAS ONLY OUT THERE FOR AN HOUR AND, AND WE TICKETED EVERY CAR THAT RAN RED LIGHTS WITHIN AN HOUR, I WOULD'VE ACCUMULATED 3000 JUST AN HOUR. 
          THAT WOULD'VE A HUGE AMOUNT OF REVENUE. 
          BUT THE, THE SHERIFF MIGHT HAVE TALKED ABOUT IT AND IT'S JUST NOT GONNA WORK UNLESS WE GET THE GOVERNOR A LEGISLATOR, LIKE YOU SAID, WITH THIS, WITH THE TRASH AND WITH THE THIS, I MEAN, PEOPLE REMEMBER LIGHTS ALL THE TIME. 
          I DON'T, I DON'T PULL MY CAR OUT UNTIL THE NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER FROM DISPATCH. 
          8 4 3 5 2 4 2 7 7 7. 
          AND IF YOU DO SEE DUMP TRUCK OR SOMETHING AND YOU'RE BEHIND IT, CALL THAT NUMBER. 
          OH, WHAT'S THAT NUMBER AGAIN? GOOD. 
          IT'S NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER. 
          DISPATCH PEOPLE. 
          OH, THEN YOU OKAY. 
          JUST CALL 'EM AND TELL 'EM. 
          YEAH. 
          SO WHAT THEY'LL DO IS THEY'LL DISPATCH THAT INFORMATION TO A ROAD DEPUTY. 
          OH. 
          WHICH IS WAY MORE THAN JUST ME. 
          OH. 
          SO THEY HAVE ROAD DEPUTIES THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, PATROLLING, WRITING TICKETS, YOU KNOW, GOING TO CALL, DOING WHATEVER IN THE COURSE OF THE DAY. 
          AND THEY'LL GET A CALL ON RADIO, HEY, THERE'S A RED DUMP TRUCK WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, THIS TRUCKING COMPANY'S NAME ON THE SIDE OF IT, BLOWING STUFF ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. 
          THEY PULL 'EM OVER AND THEY WRITE THEM TICKETS. 
          CAN YOU GIMME THAT NUMBER AGAIN? ABSOLUTELY. 
          AND WHAT IS THE TICKET? HOW MUCH IS THE TICKET LITTERING? WHAT IS IT? IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU DUMP, HOW MUCH YOU DUMP. 
          LITTER FEES ARE BASED OFF THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          AND JESUS, ON THE 18TH, WE ARE GOING TO ASK THAT HE BECOME A COMMISSIONED OFFICER. 
          SO HE CAN'T, BUT HE WILL BE ABLE TO, UM, WRITE CITATIONS. 
          THAT'S GOOD. 
          AWESOME. 
          COULD I GET THAT, THAT NUMBER AGAIN? 8 4 3 8 4 3 5 2 4 2 7 7 7. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND WHAT, WHAT VICTORIA JUST SAID, UH, WHEN THEY GET JESUS SQUARED AWAY LIKE THAT, IT'S KIND OF WHAT I DID BEFORE WITH THE OTHER, OTHER GUY BEFOREHAND. 
          YEP. 
          AND WE DID, WE DID LOTS OF INVESTIGATIONS TOGETHER. 
          YEP. 
          UM, SOME STUFF IN THE ROUGHER AREAS MAYBE JUST DON'T NEED TO BE THERE KIND OF THING. 
          BUT WE, WE WERE WORKING REALLY WELL TOGETHER. 
          AND WHEN HE GETS THAT SQUARED AWAY, IT'S GONNA OPEN UP A LOT OF DOORS FOR US. 
          BUT AGAIN, THAT NON EMERGENCY NUMBER, DISPATCH, CALL IT, IF YOU SEE IT, GIVE HIS, BE AS DESCRIPTIVE AS YOU CAN ABOUT THE VEHICLE. 
          AND IF THEY PULL IT, THEY, IF THEY SEE IT HAPPENING, THEY HAVE TO SEE IT HAPPEN. 
          THEY HAVE TO SEE THAT LITTLE PIECE OF LITTER COME FLYING OUT. 
          WHO, WHO? DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU GOTTA SOLVE, BUT US AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, WE HAVE TO SEE IT SO WE CAN GET BACK TO THE DECISION MAKING IF WE CAN. 
          IS THAT OKAY? YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEY HAVE TO SEE IT. 
          SO WE SEE A PIECE OF, IF WE SEE A PIECE OF TRASH FLYING OUT, THEY HAVE TO SEE IT THOUGH AS WELL. 
          THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAS TO SEE IT. 
          SO IF HE'S 10 MILES AWAY, IT'S KIND OF NOT. 
          I MEAN, THIS IS, SEE, IT'S WATERED DOWN. 
          THAT'S THE PROBLEM. 
          THIS WHOLE THING'S WATERED DOWN. 
          ABSOLUTELY. 
          LEGISLATIVE. 
          IT'S FULLY WATERED DOWN. 
          ALRIGHT, LET'S GET BACK TO, UM, YES. 
          ALRIGHT, SO IN ORDER TO EXPEDITE OUR DECISIONS FOR THIS YEAR, CURRENT YEAR WE'RE IN, WHICH ENDS JUNE 30TH, CAN I SUGGEST THAT WE DELAY THE DISCUSSION ON POTENTIALLY ADDING RESOURCES TO LITTER OR POLICE TO NEXT YEAR? I AGREE. 
          IT'S A GOOD CONVERSATION TO HAVE. 
          WE DON'T HAVE MUCH MONEY THIS YEAR. 
          CAN WE MOVE THIS CONVERSATION TO PRIORITIZING WHAT WE WANNA SPEND MONEY ON? AND CAN WE PUSH THAT CONCEPT TO NEXT YEAR? PEOPLE OKAY WITH THAT? YES. 
          AND I THINK WE NEED TO DO THAT BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY I SECOND. 
          YEAH. 
          DON'T ENOUGH TIME MONEY. 
          NO, WE DON'T HAVE THAT. 
          YES. 
          BUT WE COULD DONATE SOME MONEY TO, TO THIS GANG RIGHT HERE OR YEAH. 
          CALL FOR THE QUESTION. 
          PARDON ME? JUST FORMAL FOLKS. 
          OH, OH, MOVE TO APPROVE THAT. 
          IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR? YEAH, YEAH. 
          ASK, ASK THE, 
          [01:25:01]
OKAY. 
          PUT IT IN A FORM OF A MOTION. 
          YEAH, A MOTION. 
          I MOVE THAT SECOND. 
          UM, OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          DO WE, ARE WE GONNA MOVE, MAKE, MOVES, MOVEMENTS ON EVERY LINE ITEM? OR JUST DO 'EM ALL TOGETHER AT THE END LINE ITEM, PLEASE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THE IMPLEMENT, ADDITIONAL LITTER CONTROL MAJOR ROADWAYS. 
          WE, WE, I'M PROPOSING THAT WE DELAY THIS. 
          WE HAD ASKED FOR 150 K. 
          WE'RE NOT GONNA SPEND ANY MONEY ON THAT THIS FISCAL YEAR. 
          THAT'S THE PROPO, THAT'S THE MOTION. 
          I SECOND. 
          OKAY. 
          ALL IN FAVOR? ALL IN FAVOR. 
          ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          OPPOSED? OKAY. 
          ZERO. 
          NEXT, UM, PLANTING, I'M GONNA GO BACK JUST FOR A SECOND. 
          GARDNER'S CORNER AND JOE FRAZIER'S CIRCLE AND MADE THAT $5,500 TO COVER THE EXTRA SPEND THEY MIGHT HAVE. 
          WE AGREEING THAT 5,000 FOR FRAZIER CIRCLE IS WHAT WE WANNA SPEND. 
          WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MECHANICALLY WHAT WE, WHAT FLOWERS WE BUY, ET CETERA. 
          JUST DO WE WANNA SPEND THE MONEY? I STILL MOVE. 
          YES. 
          SECOND. 
          EVERYBODY. 
          EVERYBODY AGREES. 
          SECOND. 
          OKAY. 
          OPPOSED? PERFECT. 
          UH, WILD FLOWERS ARE ON ALONG MAJOR HIGHWAYS. 
          WE HAVE ASKED FOR 7,500. 
          DO WE WANT TO DEDICATE SOME MONEY? I ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT WHAT'S THE, WHAT AMOUNT IS LOGICAL. 
          IF IT'S, IF WE JUST SAY $500, THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH, RIGHT? DOES ANYBODY HAVE A GUT FEEL IS A MINIMUM AMOUNT $5,000? IS THAT, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? IF YOU REDUCE THE AMOUNT, YOU JUST REDUCE THE AREA THAT YOU PLANT. 
          IT SEEMS SIMPLE ENOUGH. 
          HOW MUCH AREA DOES $5,000 COVER? ARE WE LOOKING AT TWO ROWS FOR 10 MILES OR ONE ROW FOR A HUNDRED MILES? 10 POUNDS OF SEED COVER. 
          25,000 SQUARE FOOT AND 10 POUNDS OF SEED. 
          WERE ABOUT THREE TO 400 IF I RECALL. 
          MAYBE, YEAH. 
          10 ACRES. 
          CAN WE, WHAT ABOUT THE PREP WORK? DO WE FUND THAT? THAT'S THE THING. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO I'M GONNA PROPOSE THAT WE SPEND $5,000 ON WILDFLOWER. 
          ALL THE INFORMATION ON IT. 
          CHRIS, I HAVE TO LEAVE, BUT I JUST TALKED TO PINKY. 
          YOU HAVE $47,000 IN YOUR ACCOUNT. 
          YOU NEED TO GET THAT. 
          YOU NEED TO SPEND THAT. 
          THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'RE DECIDING RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE SPENDING. 
          47,000. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          47. 
          I PROPOSE THAT WE DO NOT REDUCE THE WILDFLOWER. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE WILL HAVE, OKAY, SO I SECOND THAT. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE WANNA SPEND SEVERAL, WE HAVE TO TAKE NOTE OF WHO'S SAYING WHAT. 
          SO, OKAY. 
          WE HAVE A MO MOTION AND WE HAVE A SECOND. 
          OKAY. 
          MOTION. 
          I, I MOVE THAT WE DO NOT REDUCE THE WILDFLOWER ALLOTMENT, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTALLATION, WHICH IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SEED. 
          MM-HMM .

          SO 10 IN TOTAL. 
          OKAY. 
          SO DO WE WANNA SPEND $10,000 ON A COUNTY ENTRANCE SIGN? NO, IT'S ON THE ROAD. 
          NO, IT'S, THAT WOULD BE TWO. 
          IT'S GOTTA BE TOTAL COST. 
          IT'S GOTTA BE INSTALLATION AND CONSTRUCTION. 
          WELL, 
          [01:30:01]
YEAH. 
          LET ME BACK IT UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          NOW IT WAS 40. 
          I COULD GET THE SIGNS BUILT FOR $5,000 A PIECE. 
          OKAY. 
          I'VE BEEN QUOTED, I'VE GOT THE QUOTE. 
          UM, AND THE IN INSTALLATION WAS GONNA BE THREE. 
          SO PER SIGN OR IN TOTAL? TOTAL? IT'S PRETTY SIMPLE. 
          WE'RE JUST GONNA SET 'EM. 
          UH, BUT SO, YOU KNOW, LIKE I HAVE A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THERE JUST AS A LITTLE CUSHION. 
          OKAY. 
          SO 7,505 FOR THE SIGN.

          MM-HMM . 
          YES. 
          ONE INSTALLATION COSTS $2,500. 
          YES. 
          BALLPARKING. 
          RIGHT. 
          WE'RE JUST BUDGETING HERE, RIGHT? BALL PARKING. 
          OKAY. 
          SO SOMEBODY ELSE PROPOSED OR SOMEBODY ELSE MOTION? I DON'T HAVE TO, I I HAVE A QUESTION. 
          PLEASE. 
          PLEASE. 
          I WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN THE SIGNS WERE DISCUSSED AND I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW THEY ADVANCE OUR MISSION. 
          CHRIS, THEY'RE YOUR SIGNS. 
          WE DISCUSSED SIGNS. 
          WE WERE GOING, WE HAVE, AND I'VE SHOWED IT AROUND THE COUNTY AND TO, UM, SEVERAL COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO APPROVE MM-HMM . 
          UM, IT'S A REPLICA OF A RICE TRUNK. 
          OH, OKAY. 
          AND IT'S A, A, A NORMAL RICE TRUNK IS 40 FEET LONG AND IT'S HUGE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          BUT THEY, NEMOURS PLANTATION BUILT THE SMALLER ONES FOR A DISPLAY AT, UH, UH, CLEMSON EVENT. 
          MM-HMM . 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHEN I WAS OUT THERE, I WAS LOOKING AT 'EM AND THEY WERE BEAUTIFUL. 
          AND I'M GOING, HEY, WE SHOULD MAKE, THIS WOULD BE COOL. 
          AND, AND THEY, EVERY, EVERYBODY THAT I, AND I WOULD GO, I WENT TO, UH, JARED, WHO IS, WHO IS OVER US, UH, WHAT'S JARED'S LAST NAME? FELIX. 
          FELIX. 
          BUT IT WOULD NEED TO BE APPROVED BY PLANNING AND ZONING. 
          AND I DON'T THINK THAT ASPECT WAS A CHECKOFF BOX. 
          SO WE NEED TO DO THAT. 
          AGREED. 
          YES. 
          YEAH. 
          NO, THAT'S THE FIRST I'VE HEARD OF THAT. 
          YES. 
          BUT I, I, I'M, I ASSUME SOMEBODY ELSE HAD TO APPROVE, RIGHT? BESIDES ME, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          ANYTIME YOU DO THAT WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT AND THEN, UM, IF IT'S AN ACTUAL FISCAL STRUCTURE, ALSO NEED TO GO TO SRT, WHICH THE STORM. 
          SO I MOVED THAT WE DEFER THE SCIENCE TO NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 
          DONE. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR FOLKS. 
          DO WE HAVE TIME TO GET IT DONE? WELL THAT'S WHY SHE MOVED. 
          THAT'S THAT'S WHAT TO, UNTIL NEXT YEAR, HOPE. 
          WELL, NO, YOU KNOW, WE COULD HAVE IT BUILT AND THEN HAVE THE MONEY SET ASIDE THE 2,540. 
          WHAT IF THEY NEVER APPROVE IT? BUT YOU WELL, WELL, THAT'S TRUE. 
          WE HAVE TO, BUT THEN, YOU KNOW YES. 
          YEAH. 
          THAT I I I'M SORRY. 
          DISCUSSION THAT WE, I AGREE THAT WE PROBABLY DO NOT HAVE TIME TO GET ALL THAT DONE THIS YEAR. 
          NO WAY. 
          THERE'S NO WAY WE SHOULD START IMMEDIATELY NEXT YEAR. 
          MM-HMM . 
          OF, UH, UH, TRYING TO GET THAT INTO THE BUDGET FOR THAT YEAR AND GET IT DONE EARLY, SO, SO THAT WE CAN GO THROUGH ALL THE STEPS THAT WE HAVE. 
          SO I SECOND HOPE'S MOTION THAT WE DEFER IT UNTIL NEXT YEAR, BUT PLAN ON ADDING IT BACK INTO THE BUDGET FOR NEXT YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S FINE. 
          I, I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I DO THINK THE SIGNS SUPPORT OUR MISSION ARE BEAUTIFUL AND ADD TO THE CHARACTER OF OUR COMMUNITY. 
          SO I LIKE THE IDEA. 
          AND, AND, AND AGAIN, THIS WAS BROUGHT TO ME BY MEMBERS OF, UH, THE COUNTY PLANNING, UM, BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND EVERYBODY ELSE, MY IDEA, THEY CAME, CAME TO ME AND SAID, WE WANT TO DO A NEW SIGN THAT'S REALLY COOL. 
          AND WE WILL, AND THAT'S, YEAH. 
          AND WE WILL. 
          SO THAT'S, THAT'S HOW WE GOT TO THIS. 
          I'M CALLING FOR THE VOTE 'CAUSE WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TABLE IT ALL. 
          I DISAGREE. 
          I DISAGREE. 
          I VOTE NO TO THAT MOTION. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          GOOD. 
          BUT IT'S STILL PASSED. 
          WELL, OF COURSE, , THAT'S WHY THIS IS FUN. 
          YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET EVERYTHING YOU WANT. 
          RIGHT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO SAYING THAT, THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO SAYING NO MONEY FOR SIGNS THIS YEAR, DEFER TO NEXT YEAR. 
          DE YEP. 
          DEFER. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL, WE HAVE SPENT MONEY ON SIGNS. 
          I'M SORRY, I I HAVE ALREADY CAPTURED THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          AS A NEW ITEM CALLED BILLBOARDS. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THAT'S $3,000. 
          SO I, I KIND OF ADDED THAT EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T AN, UH, EXPLICIT NUMBER IN THE REQUEST LAST YEAR. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHAT WE HAVE LEFT, UM, WE HAVE, UM, ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. 
          SO CHRIS AND I JUST SPENT MONEY GOING UP TO THE CONFERENCE. 
          WE TALKED ABOUT SHIRTS. 
          UM, I PERSONALLY BELIEVE WE NEED TO CREATE SOME BRANDING ITEMS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ANY THAT I, THAT I KNOW OF. 
          MAYBE WE'VE GOT SOME IN A STORAGE UNIT SOMEWHERE, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, SO DO WE WANT TO, RIGHT, YOU'VE GOT $1,500 
          [01:35:01]
HERE. 
          THAT'S NOT GONNA COVER THE COST OF THE TRIP. 
          SO HOW MUCH MONEY DO WE FOLKS WANNA PUT ASIDE FOR ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS, INCLUDING MARKETING MATERIALS? WHAT, WHAT, WHAT IS THE, DO WE KNOW THE COST OF THE TRIP? IS THERE, HAVE YOU SUBMITTED YOUR 5,000? I BET IT'S 3000 BETWEEN THE TWO OF US. 
          BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU. 
          I AGREE. 
          YEAH, IT'S ABOUT THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          MAYBE. 
          YEAH. 
          SOME BALLPARK. 
          WHICH MEANS THAT THAT'S $3,000. 
          WELL, IT'S AT, AT LEAST DO WE WANNA DO ANYTHING MORE? DO WE WANNA MAKE, I'D LIKE TO T-SHIRTS. 
          DO WE WANT MAKE, WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE SUBTRACTING THAT? I LIKE THE IDEA OF SUPPLYING OUR TENTS WHEN WE WERE OUT THERE. 
          YEP. 
          MARKETING OUR OURSELVES. 
          I DO TOO. 
          I AGREE WITH THAT. 
          TABLECLOTH, PERHAPS. 
          YEP. 
          SO I THINK WE NEED, UM, IF IT'S ADMINISTRATION, THAT MEANS IT WOULD ALSO COVER ANY KIND OF FLYERS OR STICKERS. 
          YES. 
          I I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE A GENEROUS BUDGET. 
          AND THEN IF WE SEE THAT WE DON'T NEED IT ALL, UM, MAYBE IT COULD BE ALLOCATED SOMEWHERE ELSE JUST BEFORE JUNE. 
          YOU CAN ALSO BUY MORE FLOWERS, SEEDS, ET CETERA, AND USE IT NEXT YEAR KIND OF A THING AS A STOP GAP. 
          WE, WE, WE STORED THE SEASON. 
          YEAH. 
          PERFECT. 
          LAST YEAR. 
          PERFECT. 
          WE SPEND THAT, THAT MONEY. 
          SO, OKAY, SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? 10? SO THAT'S WHAT WE DO. 
          10 WOULD BE ZERO AND SUPPLIES. 
          WE DO A GOOD 10. 
          YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 
          THAT SEEMED TO CREATE SOME BUTTS. 
          SOME, OKAY. 
          SO 10 TOTAL CUSHION. 
          YEAH, THAT'S 10. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE. 
          YOU WANT YEAH. 
          I MOTION THAT WE SPEND $10,000 FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND SUPPLIES, MARKETING SUPPLIES. 
          MM-HMM . 
          I SECOND IN THAT ANNUAL, UH, EVENT UP IN, IN, UH, MYRTLE BEACH EVERY YEAR WITH UH, UH, PALMETTO PRIDE THAT I GO TO. 
          AND I'VE ALWAYS PAID MY OWN WAY. 
          WELL, YOU SHOULD. 
          YOU SHOULD. 
          YEAH. 
          I SHOULDN'T. 
          AND I MEAN, I'VE DONE IT FIVE TIMES NOW. 
          IT'S, IT'S TIME INCREASES TO 20 THEN FOR YOU , I'M TRYING TO GET, HE WANTS A BLACK CARD IS WHAT HE REALLY WANTS. 
          HOW MUCH IS YOUR THAT'S NEXT YEAR, THOSE EXPENSES. 
          THAT'S NEXT YEAR THOUGH. 
          WELL, THIS SUMMER IS THAT NEXT YEAR? YEAH. 
          YEAH, THAT'S NEXT YEAR. 
          JUNE 30TH IS WHEN IT IS. 
          SO WE NEED TO PUT THAT NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET. 
          IS IT AFTER JUNE 30TH? NO, AFTER JUNE 30TH. 
          IT'S SEPTEMBER 5TH. 
          $1,500 OR SOMETHING. 
          IT'S EPTEMBER. 
          IT'S NOT A LOT OF YEAR. 
          YOU DRIVE UP THERE, YOU STAYED HOTEL TWO NIGHTS. 
          IT'S NEXT FISCAL YEAR. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR. 
          IT'S BEEN BEEN SECONDED. 
          IT'S BEEN SECONDED. 
          ALL IN FAVOR? A AYE. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE STILL HAVE THOUSAND FIVE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO HOW MUCH WE HAVE, THIS IS WHAT, 20 4K TO SPEND. 
          WE HAVE IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING LANDSCAPE AREAS. 
          IS IS ONE ANOTHER IS ADOPT A HIGHWAY PROGRAM. 
          WHAT IS ADOPT A HIGHWAY PROGRAM? CAN SOMEONE DESCRIBE WHAT WE INTENDED TO DO WITH THAT? IN THE PAST, YOU PROVIDED SUPPLIES AND MATERIALS TO ADOPT A HIGHWAY GROUP. 
          SO THE ORANGE SIGNS THAT SAY LITTER CREW AHEAD, THAT, UH, PROVIDE THEM SAFETY. 
          UM, WHAT ELSE DID WE, I'D LIKE TO, WELL WE DO AN ANNUAL LUNCHEON FOR THE ADOPT A HIGHWAY CREW. 
          THAT, UM, I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT'S BE A LITTLE, WE'RE PLANNING IT NOW AND IT'S BEING HELD THE 21ST. 
          PARDON ME? WE'RE PLANNING IT NOW. 
          AND IT'S BEING HELD ON THE 21ST. 
          21ST OF MARCH. 
          UH, FEBRUARY. 
          YEAH. 
          GO AHEAD AND PASS OUT. 
          HE, JESUS HAS TO HEAD OUT. 
          UM, BUT HE HAD A PRESENTATION AND A, UM, THANK YOU. 
          JESUS. 
          WE'RE SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG. 
          WE, THIS IS JUST SOMETHING WE GOTTA DO. 
          CHRIS ALREADY HAD THIS INFORMATION. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SIR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          SO, CHRIS IS YOUR LUNCH EVENT. 
          DO YOU WANNA PLAN DIFFERENT THAN VICTORIA'S? THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          NO, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE ALL THESE VOLUNTEER GROUPS AND WE'VE HAD THESE BIG LUNCH EVENTS AND YOU KNOW, THEY BRING A BOX LUNCH IN THERE. 
          I MEAN, WE SPEND A LITTLE MORE MONEY THAN THAT. 
          I MEAN, JUST MAYBE A, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE TYPICALLY? HOW MANY PEOPLE COME TO THAT EVENT? VICTORIA? UM, I THINK RIGHT NOW WE HAVE ABOUT 50 THAT ARE REGISTERED FOR THE EVENT NEXT WEEK. 
          WE HAVE ABOUT 87 ADOPTED HIGHWAY GROUPS. 
          BUT, UH, FOOD IS A SPECIAL ITEM. 
          UH, WE'RE NOT PURCHASING THE FOOD HOMEOWNER PRIZE, PURCHASING THE FOOD, UH, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO GET COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR APPROVAL IF YOU USE COUNTY FUNDS FOR PURCHASING. 
          GOOD. 
          LIKE THAT. 
          OKAY. 
          WELL THAT'S HOW I, SO WE CAN'T SPEND MONEY ON IT. 
          SO CAN'T, SO THAT'S TYPICALLY, TYPICALLY THE ADOPT A HIGHWAY SUPPLIES WOULD BE THE ROADSIDE SIGNS. 
          SO YOU ARE ON COUNTY ROAD THAT YOU'RE PICKING UP ON, SIMILAR TO WHAT DOT DOES, HOW THEY HAVE THE, THIS ROAD HAS BEEN ADOPTED BY THIS GROUP. 
          WE PURCHASED THOSE ROADS, SIGN ROAD SI, SIGNS PER COUNTY ROADS. 
          SO THOSE ONES GO TOWARDS 
          [01:40:01]
THAT AS WELL. 
          WOULD FUNDS ALSO BE FOR THE ORANGE VEST AND THE PICKER UPPERS, OR IS THAT OUT OF PALMETTO PRIDE FUNDING? YEAH, ALL OF THOSE ARE FUNDED BY PALMETTO PRIDE. 
          SO, UM, THE VEST, THE BAGS AND THE GRABBERS PALMETTO PRIDE FUNDS THOSE. 
          UM, THE ADOPT A HIGHWAY SUPPLIES, PRIMARILY THE SAFETY SIGNS, THE ORANGE ONES. 
          UM, AND THEN, UM, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE LIST OF WHAT WE'VE RECEIVED, UH, FOR ADOPTIVE HIRING IN THE PAST, UM, BUT, UH, THE AWARD THAT WAS USUALLY A PALMETTO PRIDE REQUEST. 
          AND SO WE DIDN'T REQUEST A LOT OF FUNDS FROM PALMETTO PRIDE FOR KBCB THIS YEAR. 
          SINCE YOU GUYS HAD MONEY THROUGH THE COUNTY. 
          DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH WE HAVE GIVEN IN THE PAST SO THAT WE CAN PUT A NUMBER TO THIS FOR PALMETTO FRY? 5K. 
          WAS THERE ANYTHING YOU READ? I'M SORRY. 
          THEY HAVE A LOT OF THE MATERIALS ALREADY. 
          THEY DO. 
          WAS THERE ANYTHING YOU REQUESTED THAT YOU DID NOT GET, THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO GET? YES. 
          UM, THROUGH PALMETTO PRIDE? NO. 
          RECENTLY WE APPLIED FOR A GRANT. 
          UH, WE RECEIVED THE GRANT AWARD. 
          WE'RE ASKING COMMITTEE ON THE 18TH IF WE CAN ACCEPT IT. 
          UM, AND THAT'S ALSO TO ASSIST. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA BUY MORE OF THOSE ORANGE SIGNS. 
          THEY'RE EXPENSIVE AND WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR EACH GROUP, REALLY. 
          I MEAN, UNLESS THEY, YOU KNOW, STAGGER THEIR PICKUPS. 
          SO THAT'S OUR BIGGEST GOAL RIGHT NOW, IS TO IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND PURCHASE MORE OF THOSE ORANGE PROTOTYPES. 
          THEY AREN'T TOO POSSIBLE PER SIGN. 
          HOW MUCH? UH, AROUND FOUR 70 FOR JUST THE SIGN. 
          AND THEN THE STAND IS LIKE 80 OR TO 90. 
          ARE THOSE THE REALLY HEAVY ONES? UM, THE, WE'VE, WE'VE CHANGED. 
          WE GET THE ONES THAT HOLD DOWN NOW AND THEY'RE MORE COMPACT AND THEY'RE MADE OF LIKE A MESH MATERIAL. 
          SO NOT BETTER. 
          OKAY. 
          BECAUSE WE BORROWED ONE ONCE AND IT WAS SO HEAVY WE NEEDED TWO PEOPLE OUT. 
          PERIOD. 
          ONES ARE A BIT MORE COSTLY BECAUSE THEY'RE MADE IT A BETTER LIGHTWEIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, VICTORIA, COULD WE SPEND 1500 OR UH, DOLLARS ON THE TENT THAT WOULD SHOW OUR LOGO WE WOULD NEED? SO FOR YOUR BRANDED ITEMS, I WROTE DOWN TENS TABLES, TABLE CLOTH, UM, K YOU FEEL FEES, AND THEN ET CETERA MATERIALS. 
          SO I PUT THAT ALREADY UNDER YOUR ADMINISTRATIVE COST. 
          OKAY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE, WE WE HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY OF GETTING THAT DONE. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          CHRIS, I HAVE TO GO. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          I SEE YOU CAROL. 
          DRIVE CAREFULLY. 
          THANK YOU FOR COMING ANOTHER MEETING AT FOUR.

          UM, WE'RE RUNNING ON CLOSE TO TWO HOURS. 
          YEAH. 
          SO HOW ABOUT I PROPOSE $3,000 FOR ADOPT HIGHWAY SUPPORT. 
          I LOVED IT. 
          KEEPS I MOVED FOR 3000. 
          OKAY. 
          SECOND. 
          GOTTA MAKES DECISIONS HERE. 
          VOTE ALL IN FAVOR. 
          AYE. 
          3000 FOR ADOPT A HIGHWAY. 
          SOLD. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          WE HAVE 21,000 LEFT IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING LANDSCAPED AREAS. 
          ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THAT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THOSE ARE. 
          NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THAT IS. 
          I'LL BE HONEST. 
          WE, WE WERE JUST FISHING AROUND. 
          I I CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT, BUT, OKAY. 
          ONE THOUGHT WAS THE, MY THOUGHT ORIGINALLY BACK WHEN WE DID IT WAS THAT WHEN YOU GO ACROSS THE BROAD RIVER BRIDGE ON BOTH SIDES, THE DOT DOES THE LITTLE LANDSCAPE PROJECTS AND THEY'RE ALL KIND OF NOT SO PRETTY ANYMORE. 
          BUT I'M TELLING YOU, YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL HOOPS TO GET IT DONE. 
          I MEAN, IT'S, WE HAVE, WE HAVE MONEY TO DO IT. 
          WELL, YEAH, YOU ORIGINALLY BUDGETED HAVE TIME TO DO IT. 
          I THINK YOU THINK YOU HAVE TIME PATIENCE. 
          YEAH. 
          JUNE 30TH IS STILL THREE MONTHS AWAY. 
          SO DO WE HAVE A LIST OF, UH, POTENTIAL SITES TO TARGET? UM, UH, WELL THAT'S THE ONLY ONE I TARGETED. 
          AND THEN OF COURSE, BECAUSE I, I'M RELUCTANT TO TARGET MY WORLD TOO MUCH 'CAUSE WE TRY TO DO A LOT OF GARDEN'S CORNER AS IT IS. 
          UM, UH, SO I WAS HOPING SO WE CAN, WE CAN FIGURE THAT OUT LATER. 
          YEAH. 
          I THINK IT'S A QUESTION OF DO WE WANNA PUT MONEY TOWARD IT? YEAH. 
          YES. 
          AND I APOLOGIZE FOR GOING BACK, BUT, UH, WE, WE SAID, WE SAID ZERO FOR THE ENTRY SIGNS. 
          THIS FOR THE COUNTY ENTRY SIGNS ZERO FOR THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WE, YOU, YOU ORIGINALLY ASKED FOR 5,500 FOR IMPROVEMENT TO LANDSCAPED AREAS. 
          WANT TO JUST KEEP IT AT 55? YES. 
          YES. 
          IS THAT GOOD? OH, SO, OKAY. 
          I, I MOVE. 
          WE KEEP THAT PARTICULAR I SECOND PART AT 55. 
          ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          AYE. 
          AYE. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY, GOOD. 
          UH, WE HAVE 15 FIVE LEFT. 
          UM, I THINK WE MIGHT CONSIDER PUTTING IT INTO ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS AND THEN BY BEFORE WE MEET NEXT TIME, WE CAN REALLOCATE DOLLARS. 
          RIGHT? IT'S UP. 
          IT'S OKAY THAT WE DO THAT. 
          [01:45:01]
OKAY, LET'S DO THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND SO WE GOT A COMPLETE BUDGET HERE. 
          YEAH. 
          JUST SO WE HAVE A COMPLETE BUDGET. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          GOOD IDEA. 
          IS THAT GOOD? YOU'RE ALLOCATING HOW MUCH? 15,000. 
          15. 
          FIVE. 
          FIVE. 
          ADDITIONAL TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. 
          BUT NEXT TIME WE GET TOGETHER WE SHOULD THINK THROUGH WHAT DOES WE WANNA SPEND THE MONEY ON. 
          YEAH. 
          AYE. 
          SOLE MOVE. 
          I SECOND. 
          I SECOND. 
          ALL IN FAVOR? AYE. 
          AYE. 
          SO ADMINISTRATIVE IS NOW GOOD. 
          25 5. 
          I'M GONNA HAVE TO LEAVE IN FIVE MINUTES 'CAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER MEETING. 
          ALRIGHT, I'LL BE REALLY QUICK. 
          WE'RE DOWN WITH FINANCE. 
          WE'RE OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I ALREADY SAID, UM, APPLICATION NINTH. 
          YOU'LL GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT. 
          UM, I'M ALSO GONNA SEND A PROPOSED DATE. 
          SO SUBCOMMITTEE FOR FINANCE, PLEASE BE PREPARED TO COME TO MY OFFICE SO YOU CAN DISCUSS, I'M EXPECTING QUOTES SO WE CAN GET THE BALL MOVING ON THIS. 
          OKAY. 
          WE'LL RECEIVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT YOU'VE REQUESTED. 
          WHAT I REQUEST FROM YOU IS THAT YOU DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE, GET THE QUOTES SO WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH ALL OF THIS. 
          SO EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM IS UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO OBTAIN THE QUOTES FOR THE MATERIALS THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO DO, WHAT YOU'RE WANTING TO BUY. 
          SO CHRIS, AFTER, AFTER THIS, WHOEVER IS THE LEAD OF EACH OF THE DIFFERENT COMMITTEES NEEDS TO SIGN UP FOR FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR EACH ONE OF THESE LINE ITEMS. YES. 
          OKAY. 
          SOMEBODY HAS TO OWN IMPROVEMENTS TO EXISTING LANDSCAPE AREAS. 
          EXACTLY. 
          SOMEBODY HAS TO INDIVIDUALLY OWN THAT. 
          SOMEONE SHOULD KNOW WHERE THOSE, THOSE SPOTS ARE. 
          THAT'S ANOTHER, I'LL BE GOOD. 
          THAT'D BE A GOOD START. 
          YEP. 
          BUT THAT'S ANOTHER POINT I WANT TO MAKE BECAUSE THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE SUBCOMMITTEES. 
          SO WHAT WE HAD WERE IN EDUCATION, IT WAS MCFE, REEDS AND MURPHY. 
          AND THEN THERE WAS A CHANGE. 
          BOGEY WANTED TO BE ON EDUCATION. 
          CORRECT. 
          THAT WAS WHERE YOU WERE. 
          AND PAM FLOYD DID NOT AND FLOYD DID NOT. 
          SO I DON'T HAVE FLOYD IN EDUCATION ON MY NOTES. 
          WELL, ON WHAT I PRINTED OFFLINE, IT HAD ME ON THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO I WAS LIKE, WHERE'D THAT COME FROM? OKAY, SO THEN LEGISLATION. 
          I'VE GOT CUNNINGHAM, MCBEE AND RES. 
          MM-HMM  AND I SHOULD BE ON THAT AS WELL. 
          AND BOGEYS ON THAT AS WELL. 
          AND THEN BEAUTIFICATION CAMPBELL, FLOYD CUNNINGHAM. 
          Z ZEPPO. 
          ZEP. 
          ZEP. 
          CORRECT. 
          THAT'S ME. 
          YEP. 
          YEAH. 
          YES. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          AND THEN FINANCE CAMPBELL FEL AND BARLOW AND MCFEE. 
          THAT'S CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN I WANTED TO BE ON FINANCE. 
          OKAY. 
          AND THEN WE'RE ADDING FLOYD TO FINANCE AND WE NEED TO FIND OUT MURPHY'S ONLY MURPHY'S ON EDUCATION. 
          WE NEED TO FIND OUT. 
          SHE'S NOT HERE SO SHE WANTS TO BE ADDED TO ONE. 
          DR. 
          JANE, WHERE? 'CAUSE SHE'S NOT ON A SINGLE ONE. 
          YEAH. 
          'CAUSE SHE WASN'T AT THE LAST MEETING, RIGHT. 
          SO SHE DIDN'T CALL HER NAME. 
          SO FRU AND MURPHY WILL NEED TO SIGN UP FOR THOSE SUBCOMMITTEES. 
          YEP. 
          SO CAN YOU DO THAT? YES. 
          GET TO THOSE TWO AND SAY WHAT IS IT YOU, WHERE DO YOU WANNA PLAY? OKAY. 
          AND THEN PLEASE LET US KNOW SO WE CAN UPDATE. 
          AND THEN DR. 
          JEAN, WHO ELSE FINANCE I'LL REACHING OUT TO YOU, BUT THE OTHER CAROL'S HEALTH IS SO, SO BAD. 
          I'M WORRIED ABOUT HER. 
          YOU NEED TO REACH OUT TO EACH OTHER TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE MEETING ON OUR OFF MONTHS. 
          YEP. 
          MARCH. 
          OKAY. 
          WE NEED TO VOTE ON CHAIR AND CO-CHAIR. 
          THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO EVERY TWO YEARS. 
          SO WE NEED AN UPDATED VOTE ON WHO'S GOING TO BE OUR CHAIR AND WHO IS GOING TO BE OUR CO-CHAIR? DOES ANYBODY HAVE A NOMINATION? FLOORS OPEN FOR NOMINATIONS? I NOMINATE CHRIS CAMPBELL FOR CHAIR.

          AND WE'VE CONFIRMED SUBCOMMITTEES HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ANYTHING. 
          OPEN FOR THE CHAIR TO ADJOURN. 
          EVERYBODY VOTE FOR ADJOURNMENT. 
          VOTE FOR ADJOURNMENT. 
          A CHAIR PASSES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU. 
           WHEN YOU LOOK UP AT THE NIGHT SKY, JUST ABOUT EVERY POINT OF LIGHT YOU SEE ARE STARS LOCATED IN OUR MILKY WAY GALAXY, A GIANT SPIRAL DISC. 
          100,000 LIGHT YEARS ACROSS THERE IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 200 BILLION STARS IN THE MILKY WAY, ALL ROTATING AROUND A SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLE AT THE CENTER. 
          BUT WHAT BINDS ALL THESE STARS TOGETHER? WHAT KEEPS THEM FROM SLINGSHOTTING OUT INTO SPACE? IT'S THE SAME FORCE THAT KEEPS THE EARTH IN ORBIT AROUND THE SUN, THE MOON, IN ORBIT AROUND THE EARTH, AND CAUSES THIS APPLE TO FALL TO THE GROUND GRAVITY. 
          IN THE LATE 16 HUNDREDS, SIR ISAAC NEWTON DISCOVERED AND DESCRIBED GRAVITY. 
          HE DEVELOPS THE LAW OF GRAVITATION TO EXPLAIN THE FORCE OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS. 
          HE FOUND THAT THE CLOSER TWO OBJECTS ARE THE MORE FORCE THEY EXERT ON ONE ANOTHER, AND THE MORE MASSIVE AN OBJECT IS, THE MORE FORCE IT HAS. 
          HE CREATED A MATHEMATICAL FORMULA TO DESCRIBE THIS FORCE OF ATTRACTION AND SHOWED THAT THE SAME GRAVITY THAT PULLED THE APPLE TO THE GROUND WAS WHAT HELD THE MOON IN ORBIT AROUND THE EARTH. 
          GRAVITY IS THE FORCE THAT ORGANIZES ALL OF THE MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE. 
          EACH OF THESE STUDENTS REPRESENTS A CLUMP OF MATTER IN SPACE. 
          [01:55:01]
THEIR SIZE OR THEIR MASS IS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF LETTERS IN THEIR NAME. 
          SO THE MORE LETTERS THEY HAVE IN THEIR NAME, THE HIGHER THE FORCE THEY EXERT ON THEIR NEIGHBORS. 
          NOTICE THAT OVER TIME THE MATTER COLLIDES AND CLUMPS TOGETHER. 
          NEWTON'S LAW OF GRAVITATION WAS SO SUCCESSFUL AT DESCRIBING THE MOTIONS OF CELESTIAL BODIES THAT IT HELD UP FOR NEARLY 230 YEARS. 
          USING NEWTON'S MATH ASTRONOMERS WERE ABLE TO ACCURATELY PREDICT THE ORBITS OF ALL THE PLANETS, INCLUDING THE DISCOVERY OF NEPTUNE EXCEPT FOR MERCURY. 
          MERCURY SEEMED TO BE ZOOMING AROUND THE SUN SLIGHTLY FASTER THAN EXPECTED. 
          ENTER ALBERT EINSTEIN IN 1915, HE PUBLISHED HIS GENERAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY, WHICH IMPROVED UPON THE LIMITATIONS OF NEWTON'S WORK. 
          EINSTEIN'S THEORY BROUGHT SPACE AND TIME TOGETHER INTO AN ENTITY NOW CALLED SPACE TIME. 
          IT'S ESSENTIALLY THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE AND ANYTHING THAT HAS MASS DISTORTED SPACE TIME. 
          SO WE'RE GONNA USE THIS STRETCHY FABRIC TO REPRESENT SPACE TIME. 
          AND YOU CAN SEE THAT MATTER CURVES SPACE TIME. 
          WHEN YOU HAVE A MORE MASSIVE OBJECT SPACE, TIME IS CURVED MORE SO THE LARGER OBJECT HAS A LARGER GRAVITATIONAL FORCE. 
          AND YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE CLOSER YOU GET TO THE OBJECT, THE MORE CURVED SPACE TIME IS. 
          WE CAN DEMONSTRATE HOW THE MORE MASSIVE OBJECT HAS A STRONGER GRAVITATIONAL FORCE BY THE RATE AT WHICH THE MARBLE FALLS INTO IT. 
          OBJECTS ARE NOT ALWAYS FALLING IN, SOMETIMES THEY'RE ORBITING IN SPACE. 
          JUST LIKE PLANET'S ORBIT AROUND STARS, THEY'RE MOVING FAST ENOUGH NOT TO FALL INTO THE STAR, BUT SLOW ENOUGH THAT THEY DON'T ESCAPE OUT INTO OUTER SPACE. 
          NOW IN OUR DEMONSTRATION, THE MARBLES ARE EVENTUALLY FALLING INTO OUR STAR, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THERE'S FRICTION IN THE VACUUM OF SPACE. 
          THERE'S NO FRICTION TO SLOW THEM DOWN AND THEY JUST BASICALLY ORBIT INDEFINITELY. 
          WE CAN ALSO SEE THAT AS THE PLANETS GET CLOSER TO THE STAR, THEY ORBIT MORE QUICKLY BECAUSE SPACE TIME IS MORE STRETCHED THERE. 
          AND IF WE HAVE A REALLY MASSIVE PLANET GOING AROUND THE STAR, IT ACTUALLY CAUSES THE STAR TO WOBBLE. 
          AND THAT'S HOW ASTRONOMERS LOOK FOR PLANETS AROUND OTHER STARS. 
          THEY LOOK FOR THE WOBBLE. 
          EINSTEIN'S THEORY OF RELATIVITY ALSO SUCCESSFULLY PREDICTED GRAVITATIONAL WAVES ANY OBJECT MOVING THROUGH SPACE TIME CREATES SMALL RIPPLES IN THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE. 
          DETECTING GRAVITATIONAL WAVES WOULD PROVIDE FURTHER EVIDENCE CONFIRMING EINSTEIN'S THEORY, AS WELL AS GIVE US DETAILS ABOUT MAJOR ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS. 
          THE PROBLEM IS ONLY MASSIVE EVENTS SUCH AS THE COLLISION BETWEEN TWO BLACK HOLES WOULD CREATE WAVES LARGE ENOUGH TO BE DETECTED. 
          AND EVEN THEN WOULD ONLY CAUSE A DISTORTION, 1% OF THE DIAMETER OF AN ATOM BY THE TIME IT REACHED EARTH. 
          AMAZINGLY, GRAVITATIONAL WAVES WERE DETECTED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2016 IN AN EXPERIMENT CALLED LIGO, WHERE THE LASER INTERFEROMETER GRAVITATIONAL WAVE OBSERVATORY GRAVITATIONAL WAVES MIGHT HELP US UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE BIGGEST MYSTERIES OF THE UNIVERSE, SUCH AS DARK MATTER AND DARK ENERGY, WHICH MAKE UP THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE UNIVERSE, BUT HAVE NOT YET BEEN OBSERVED DIRECTLY. 
          THERE IS STILL MUCH TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT GRAVITY. 
          SCIENTISTS HAVE YET TO DEVELOP A THEORY THAT COMBINES OUR UNDERSTANDING OF GRAVITY WITH THE QUANTUM WORLD AT THE VERY SMALLEST SCALE. 
          BUT THE NEXT TIME YOU LOOK UP AT THE STARS, THINK ABOUT THE INVISIBLE FORCE ACCELERATING YOUR FEET INTO THE GROUND, THE EARTH AROUND THE SUN, AND ALL THE STARS IN OUR GALAXY AROUND THE SUPER MASSIVE BLACK HOLE AT ITS CORE.
