[4. APPROVAL OF AGENDA]

[5. APPROVAL OF MINUTES ● August 18, 2025]

[6. PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD – 15 MINUTES TOTAL]

[7. ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT]

WE WILL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD AND MOVE RIGHT INTO THE ASSISTANT COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT. ALL RIGHT. HOW ARE YOU TODAY? EXCELLENT. GOOD AFTERNOON. THIS IS THE LONG VACANT PROPERTY DISCUSSION GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY. I KNOW IT'S BEEN DONE A COUPLE OF TIMES OVER YEARS. I'VE SEEN THE BIG BINDER NOTEBOOKS IN SOME REPORTS.

THEY'RE PROBABLY THOROUGH BUT NOT REALLY EASY TO FOLLOW. SO WHAT WE DO IS WE WORK DIRECTLY THE ASSESSOR AND I SAID THIS SPEC WHEN YOU FIRST ASKED FOR IT WAS YOU KNOW WHAT ,THERE'S ONLY SO MANY OR SEVERAL HUNDRED PROBABLY 500 PLUS THAT WE STARTED WITH BUT WE INSTEAD OF JUST RELYING ON OLD REPORTS WE STARTED OVER AND WE WISH WENT NUMBER BY NUMBER IN THE GIS MAPPING SYSTEM AND STARTED SAYING OKAY WHAT DEED RESTRICTIONS BECAUSE IT'S PROTECTED OR WHAT IS A RIGHT AWAY THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE A LOT BUT IT'S REALLY SO THAT YOU CAN DO A TURN AROUND EVENTUALLY IN INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS ETC. AND SO WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY IS UP ON THE SCREEN I SENT YOU A PRINTED VERSION BUT THAT'S NOT AS FUNCTIONAL AS WHAT YOU'LL GET EMAILED WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS ONE CENTRAL SPREADSHEET OF VACANT LAND IN THE COUNTY WITH A CLEAR HEADER OF WHAT THEY ARE. THERE'S TABS AT THE BOTTOM IF YOU CAN LOOK DOWN THE THE WHEN I PULLED UP FOR EXAMPLE WAS RURAL AND CRITICAL BUT WHAT DAN AND THE GAS DEPARTMENT WERE HELPFUL IN DOING IS YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO WHAT WE DID WHICH WAS TO CUT AND PASTE THESE NUMBERS INTO OUR GIS SYSTEM. YOU CAN JUST CLICK ON THE NUMBER ON THE BLUE NUMBER ON THE LEFT SO AND I'LL SHOW YOU AN EXAMPLE I'LL JUST CLICK ON ONE. THESE WERE WE'RE ON FI IT'S GOING TO WORK.

WHAT IT WILL DO IT'S GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT BEFORE IT COMES UP.

IT WILL ACTUALLY PULL IT UP IN GIS THE DEFAULT SETTING IS GOING TO COME UP AND YOU WON'T SEE THE ACTUAL SATELLITE IMAGERY AND YOU'VE EVER USED OUR GAS SYSTEM ALL YOU DO IS CLICK ON THE LAYERS SECTION AND YOU CAN SEE THE TREES AND THE ROADS AND ALL THIS STUFF.

IT'LL MAKE IT MAKE SENSE BUT IF YOU ALSO LOOK AT THE SPREADSHEET DO NOT BE DETERRED CLASS CODES BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES SAYS COMMERCIAL VACANT BUT THAT DOESN'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY THAT IS WHAT COMES OUT OF OUR SYSTEM. WHAT WE WORKED ON WITH AUDRA IS OVER HERE. AUDRA PUT A TON OF TIME INTO THIS AS WELL WORKING WITH THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF A NARRATIVE ENGLISH WHAT THAT PROPERTY IS SO THERE THERE'S THERE'S WHAT WILL COME UP YES FOR EACH ONE OF THESE PROPERTIES THANK GOODNESS FOR THEIR THE SO YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE IT IS YOU CAN ZOOM AND SEE WHAT IT'S NEAR ETC. BUT THESE ARE THESE ARE JUST BACK BECAUSE THE PROPERTIES THAT ARE ON EVERY SHEET EXCEPT FOR ONE HAVE RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THEM.

SOME ARE ADJACENT PARK PROPERTIES THAT ARE FOR EXPANSION OR GROWTH.

SOME THAT APPEARED TO BE USABLE ARE DRAINAGE FOR A DEVELOPMENT THAT THEY GAVE TO US BECAUSE THEY'RE WE GET CALLS ALL THE TIME ABOUT A PARCEL. I'LL JUST PICK UP ONE UP ON 278

[00:05:05]

THAT'S BECAUSE SOME OF THE PROPERTIES ARE CLOSE TOGETHER AND THOSE NUMBERS COVER EACH OTHER UP. BUT ON THE LEFT SIDE IS THE LEGEND OF WHAT EACH PARCEL IS.

SIMILARLY HAS A ASSOCIATED TIMES OR PIN NUMBER HOW MANY ACRES IT IS AND THEN A BRIEF IN ENGLISH SIMPLE DESCRIPTIVE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT IT IS SO A COUPLE THAT ARE NOT HIGHLIGHTED ARE ONES THAT WERE AVAILABLE BUT ALREADY HAVE PLANS ASSOCIATED THEM.

SO A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES THOSE YOU CAN LOOK DOWN TO SAY 16, 17, 19 THOSE ARE PARCELS PURCHASED IN OKATIE FOR POTENTIAL LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER EMERGENCY ETC. YOU CAN SEE ONE THAT LOOKED LIKE A REALLY ATTRACTIVE PARCEL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF SUN CITY BUT THAT STATION 39 THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE PARCELS WE'VE DISCUSSED OR WE PURCHASED SPECIFICALLY FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON IN MODULE WITH HOUSING TRUST AND THE MH THOSE ARE ALL IN THERE THE ONES THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED THOUGH AND WE'LL GO AHEAD AND WHAT YOU'LL DO WHEN YOU GET THIS MAP LINK IS YOU CAN ACTUALLY CLICK ON THE NUMBER AND WHEN YOU IN YOU'LL SEE MORE NUMBERS BUT IN ORDER TO SHOW THE WHOLE COUNTY AND FIT THE LEGEND ON THERE IT'S A ZOOMED OUT VIEW. SO DANIEL, ZOOM IN FOR YOU THESE ARE JUST PARCELS THAT POTENTIALLY COULD BE DECLARED EXCESS AND GIVEN TO SAY A HABITAT. THEY WANTED TO DO HOUSES IN AREAS AROUND THE COUNTY.

THIS IS ONE THERE ARE SEVERAL ON PAGE POINT ROAD THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF WETLANDS IN THE BACK BUT IT'S NOT PART OF A DRAINAGE EASEMENT. THEY ARE SOME THAT WERE THERE'S ONE THAT'S RIGHT UP AGAINST THE BOAT LANDING AND IT LOOKED LIKE A GOOD LOT BUT THAT'S THE PARKING FOR THE BOAT LANDING DOWN AT THE END OF THE ROAD. BUT THIS IS FOR YOU TOO TO.

SEE IT? SO LET'S GO. SO ONE IS THERE AND THEN HOW DO YOU GET BACK OUT THAT DAM SO YOU CAN SHOW RIGHT HERE ON THE HOUSE UPPER LEFT YOU CLICK ON THE HOUSE, TAKES YOU HOME AND THEN CLICK ON ANOTHER NUMBER. LET'S GO INTO THE SO LET'S GO BACK TO THE WHERE'S THE LEGEND IN HERE THEN HERE WE GO. SO SHOW THE THERE YOU CAN SEE THE TOP THREE ARE PROPERTIES ON PAGE POINT ROAD. THE FOURTH ONE IS A PARCEL IN THE INDUSTRIAL AREA THAT WE OWN 5050 WITH THE CITY AND THAT'S SOMETHING BEING MARKETED FOR REUSE BUT AGAIN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE DISPOSED OF NOT BY DECLARING IT EXCESS BUT THROUGH THE SALE PROCESS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ETC. THAT'S A NICE PIECE OF PROPERTY HIGH AND DRY ON THE ROAD THAT HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH A CORPORATION ABOUT DISPOSING OF FOR PROFIT OR AT LEAST FOR A GOOD PROJECT .

NEXT WE'LL GO TO A COUPLE MORE THAT ARE IN THE HIGHLIGHTED. THERE'S ANOTHER LOT IF YOU GO TO 12 THIS IS A GOOD RESIDENTIAL LOT IN THE MIDDLE OF A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE OWN.

AGAIN THAT'S GOOD FOR WHETHER IT'S HABITAT OR THE HOUSING TRUST OR SOMEBODY TO DO SOMETHING IN THE AFFORDABLE WORK HOUSE WORKFORCE HOUSING WORLD WORLD.

AND THEN SINCE THERE'S ONLY SIX WOMEN AS WE GO THROUGH THEM ONE BY ONE ANOTHER ONE THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN ANOMALY. WE HAD TO FIND IT JUST THROUGH HISTORIC DATA BECAUSE IT WASN'T ON THE LIST IS WHERE THE OLD WATER SLIDE WAS ON THE ROAD OUT TO SAINT HELENA ON SAINT HELENA. REMEMBER THAT'S A 2.3 WHAT IS IT 2.3 ACRE PARCEL ON THE MAIN ROAD NOW AND THEN THERE IS THE LAST ONE WHICH IS THIS THIS IS WE HAD GIVEN PROPERTY AT ONE TIME TO THE GULLAH FARMERS CO-OP THAT THEY'RE ON THAT USED TO I BELIEVE IT USED TO BE AN OLD COMMUNITY BUILDING AND THERE'S A SIMILARLY SIZED PARCEL JUST BESIDE IT THAT COULD BE USED IF THEY EVER EXPANDED COULD BE USED FOR OTHER USES IT'S NOT IT'S A RIGHT ON BALLPARK WHICH IF YOU GO FARTHER DOWN BALLPARK ROAD IS WHERE WESLEY FELIX REC CENTER IS BUT IT IS ONE OF THE ONLY OTHER POTENTIAL PROPERTIES THAT YOU COULD DO SOMETHING WITH BUT OF THOSE SIX AGAIN IF YOU GUYS DISCUSS HERE TODAY OR WE GOING TO DISCUSS IN THE FUTURE AGAIN OR I GUESS IT'S SIX IF YOU TAKE OUT THE INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY BECAUSE WE

[00:10:01]

IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS GO AHEAD AND FIRE AWAY. BUT I ALSO WITH THE SPREADSHEET IF YOU GET LOOKING AT IT AND HAVE QUESTIONS GIVE ME A CALL. WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT.

I APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU PUT IN THIS CALL. I KNOW YOU WORK WORKING OUT A LONG TIME AND I'D LOVE TO SEE US TALK ABOUT SOME WAY COULD PARTNER WITH HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OR WHATEVER BECAUSE WE'RE JUST SITTING ON THESE PROPERTIES.

YEAH NOT THE ONES IN THE OCEAN OF COURSE THERE IS THE RIVER BUT THESE PROPERTIES EXCELLENT.

AND THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAVE BEEN IN THE BACKGROUND BECAUSE WE SHARED THE RAW LIST WITH A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO HELP YOU DIG THROUGH IT AND SEE WHAT YOU FIND.

MAYBE WE MISSED SOMETHING AND EVERYTHING MATCHED UP AS FAR AS WHAT WAS DESIRABLE AND THEN WE WERE ABLE TO EXPLAIN WELL THAT DOES LOOK GOOD BUT HERE'S THE REAL STORY AND SO THAT THAT FOLLOW UP CONVERSATION SHOULD BE FAIRLY EASY. MOM WAS IS THIS SOMETHING WE SHOULD PUT TOGETHER OUR WORKSHOP FOR IF WE ONLY HAVE TEN PROPERTIES AND THEN WE CAN SIT THERE AND GO THROUGH THE PROPERTIES WITH THE GROUP AND IDENTIFY A COUPLE AND WHO THEY WORK WITH OKAY IS THE I MEAN HOW'S OUR ONE ELSE FEEL ABOUT THAT? I MEAN BECAUSE WE COULD UP HERE AND TALK ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW BUT ACTUALLY I GOT PUT PEN TO PAPER AND ACTUALLY MAKE USE OF RIGHT I MEAN BECAUSE YOU GUYS PUT IN THE EFFORT IN THE BACK END WE REQUESTED THAT YOU KNOW THAT LET'S PUT IN THE DILIGENCE AND THE TIME TO ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD AND NOT JUST TALK ABOUT IT. GOT IT.

SO SARAH, IF WE COULD PULL SOME TIME, YOU KNOW, NEXT I DON'T KNOW MONTH OR TWO SOME TYPE OF DATE WHERE WE'RE LIKE WE HAVE COMMITTEE MEETING WE COULD FOLLOW IT UP WITH A WORKSHOP OR PRIOR TO IT MAYBE AT NOON IF WE COULD DO A WORKSHOP BEFOREHAND AND THAT GIVE US SOME TIME TO BRAINSTORMING WITHOUT AN END DATE BEFORE LIKE A 2:00 MEETING I THINK IT'D BE GREAT.

OH, MR. CHAIRMAN. AND ALSO SURE IN THE OVERLAY WE HAVE IT IS THERE WATER AND SEWAGE TO THESE SOME OF THEM PROBABLY SAY YOU KNOW IT'S JUST WATER BUT RIGHT AND NOT HAVE TO LOOK UP I WOULD IMAGINE PAGE POINT ROAD PROBABLY DOESN'T HAVE SEWER BUT IT MAY HAVE WATER BUT WE HAVE WE DID LOOK INTO THAT WITH YOU FOR I MEAN HABITAT I DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK IT'S WELL AND SEPTIC UP THERE. DEFINITELY A FAIR QUESTION.

OKAY BUT WE CAN LOOK AT NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THIS LIST DOWN AND I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THE FUNCTIONALITY WE'LL SEND YOU A LINK TO USE IT. THAT'LL BE GREAT BUT IT'S AGAIN A SHORT LIST AND WE CAN HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION READY FOR OUR WORKSHOP CALL.

I GUESS WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO SARAH PULLING ON SOME DATES AND WE'LL GO FROM THERE.

I WORK AND WE'LL EMAIL OUT THE ACTUAL SPREADSHEET WITH THE CLICKABLE NUMBERS IF YOU REALLY ARE BORED AND WANT TO GO THROUGH IT BUT TAB AND I CAN'T SLEEP AT THREE IN THE MORNING.

YES. ALL RIGHT. AND THANKS TO DAN AND NOW THAT'S AGAIN THAT'S AWESOME WORK SHE WORKED WITH LIKE AMANDA FLAKE AND OTHER PEOPLE TO REALLY DIG THROUGH ALL THESE THINGS. YEAH, I MEAN THIS IS SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS AND YOU GUYS GOT IT. SO APPRECIATE IT.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT? YES. JARED, HOW ARE YOU? GREAT.

WE ANOTHER DISCUSSION ITEM TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT. SO FACILITIES MANAGEMENT JUST COME BRIEF ON SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON OVER THE PAST YEAR.

YOU'VE HEARD A LOT OVER THE LAST OF MONTHS FROM CAPITAL PROJECTS MANAGEMENT.

SO JUST TO REMIND YOU PROJECT MANAGEMENT IS REALLY THEY'RE WORKING ON EITHER NEW PROJECTS OR LARGE RENOVATION PROJECTS LIKE THE ADMIN CENTER AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT IS WORKING ON SMALLER MAINTENANCE PROJECTS OR OPERATIONAL TYPE PROJECTS.

SO YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF $50,000 $40,000 TYPE PROJECTS EVEN UP BIT HIGHER THAN THAT BUT THEY'VE DONE A LOT. I'M REALLY EXCITED AND YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF THIS WITH THE CONDITION ASSESSMENT WE'RE WORKING TO GET BUILDINGS UP TO A STATE OF REPAIR, GOOD REPAIR AND. AS WE'RE DOING THAT WE'RE MAKING A LOT OF INPUT.

I FEEL PORT SO I HOPE YOU GUYS DO I FEEL LIKE WE'RE SPENDING THIS PUTTING THE WORK IN ON THE FLYWHEEL AND EVENTUALLY WE WILL REALLY SEE THAT FLYWHEEL TAKE OFF.

SO WITH THAT WE HAVE FRANK STRONG CHECKED OUR FACILITIES MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR AND JASON BENSINGER OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR BOTH HERE AND FRANK IS GOING TO COME AND GIVE YOU GUYS AN UPDATE ON PROJECTS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON PERFECT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY. IT'S GREAT TO GIVE A STATE OF THE UNION IF YOU WILL OF THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT. BEFORE I BEGIN I WANT TO FIRST SEND OUT SOME THANK YOU THANK YOU MR. MOORE COUNTY COUNCIL FOR ENDORSING APPROVING AND ALLOWING US TO DO THE THINGS THAT WE THINK WE NEEDED TO DO AND WANTED DO IN ORDER TO BETTER BE FOR COUNTY FACILITIES . THANK YOU. SECOND THANK YOU GOES TO JASON IS DEPUTY DIRECTOR SPEARHEADING A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE IS INVALUABLE ADDITIONALLY VANESSA O'DONNELL WHO IS OUR OFFICE MANAGER SHE TOGETHER WITH JASON SPEARHEADED EVERYTHING THAT WE DO AND WITHOUT THEM WE COULDN'T DO WHAT WE'RE DOING AND WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT WE COULDN'T TELL

[00:15:01]

SO WHEN I ARRIVED WE LIMITED ABILITIES TO KIND OF TRACK CAPITAL PROJECTS WITHIN FACILITIES SO WE FOUND THIS SMART SOFTWARE WHICH INCREDIBLY AFFORDABLE WAS ABLE TO GIVE US REAL TIME DATA, GREAT INFORMATION SINCE THEN THE DEPARTMENT HAS ALSO ADOPTED THAT SOFTWARE AND IT'S REALLY HELPING TO BRING GREAT VISIBILITY.

WE INCREASED OUR STAFFING BY 70%. WE ACQUIRED NEW VEHICLES, WE HAD INTERNAL PROMOTIONS AND DIRECTOR LEVEL DIRECTOR, A DEPUTY DIRECTOR, ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT WE REMODELED THE FACILITY BUILDING THE CREATION OF A STANDALONE FACILITY DEPARTMENT WHICH WAS REALLY, REALLY CRITICAL AND THEN NEW PHONES FOR ALL STAFF MEMBERS WHICH THEY'RE GOING TO NEED FOR THE NEW SOFTWARE WE'RE GETTING READY TO HAVE ONBOARDED THROUGH BRIGHTLY. OKAY. SO WE WERE ALSO IN 2025 LOOKING FOR WAYS TO SAVE MONEY SO WITH REPLACING OLD HP AC NEW LED RETROFITS WE SAVED 196,000 ALMOST $200,000 WE ARE PROJECTING TO SAVE WITHIN YEARS THROUGH ENERGY SAVINGS REBATES AND GRANTS $1,000,000 A YEAR. WE ALSO REDUCED WATER USAGE AT THE DETENTION BY 120% AS OF 11 MONTHS AGO WE IDENTIFIED INCREDIBLE LEAKING TO THE TUNE OF MILLIONS OF GALLONS BECAUSE THAT WE HAVE THIS APP EYE ON WATER WE COULD SEE THE WHERE THE WATER WAS LEAKING BUT THEN WE HAD TO BRING IN FACILITY TEAM JASON AND THEIR TEAM TO REALLY TRY TO LOCATE EXACTLY WHERE IT IS AND WHERE IT WAS WAS UNDER CONCRETE BEHIND CONCRETE WALLS UNDER CONCRETE FLOORS OF COURSE IT WAS SO LOTS GREAT WORK AND REDUCED WATER USAGE OF 20% THAT'S PRETTY PHENOMENAL. OKAY HERE WE'RE GOING TO GO A FEW PROJECTS AS JARED MENTIONED WE FACILITIES TAKE CARE OF SOME CAPITAL PROJECTS AS WELL AS OUR REGULAR PROJECTS HERE.

ONE WHEN YOU'RE KIND OF LOOKING AT THESE PROJECTS I WOULD JUST ASK THAT YOU KIND OF LOOK AT THE MONTHS AND MONTHS OF WORK THAT GOES BEHIND EACH PROJECT YOU KNOW, OF LOCATING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, CREATING THE SAVING OF WORK AFTER YOU DO THAT AND PUTTING IT OUT TO BID AND ONCE YOU PUT IT OUT TO BID SELECTING THE VENDOR AND THEN MEETING WITH THE VENDOR AND THEN WITH EVERYBODY IN THE BUILDINGS WHO YOU HAVE TO WORK AROUND IF THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES IN BEHIND IT. SO IN ADDITION TO LOOKING AT THE PICTURES AND LOOKING AT WHAT WE'VE DONE WHICH I'VE SAMPLED ABOUT 15 OF OUR PROJECTS HERE BUT WE'VE COMPLETED ABOUT 60 OF THESE CAPITAL PROJECTS IN ADDITION TO THE THOUSANDS OF WORK ORDERS THAT COME IN EVERY YEAR. SO HERE'S THE LIBRARY BEFORE YOU CAN SEE THERE'S SOME HAZARDS FOR WALKING. YOU CAN SEE LOTS OF PIPES TRYING TO DRAIN AWAY FROM THE BUILDING. DURING THE RAINSTORM WATER WAS GETTING IN HERE YOU CAN SEE AFTERWARDS NO PIPES, NO OBSTRUCTIONS AND NO WATER LEAKING INTO THE BUILDING.

PUBLIC WORKS I THINK WE'VE ALL SEEN WHAT PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING LOOK LIKE BEFORE AND THAT'S WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE AND AFTER THE MAINTENANCE TEAM WHO ALSO WORKED WITH CONTRACTORS WENT IN AND REALLY DID ALL THIS WORK. THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS NOW. IT LOOKS LIKE A BRAND NEW BUILDING THEY HAVE GOT A CREEK BEFORE NEEDING THE RAILINGS REPLACED.

WE ALONG WITH PUBLIC WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH PUBLIC WORKS DID THIS AND DETENTION CENTER LOTS OF UGLY BEFORE PICTURES HERE LOTS OF DIGGING LOTS OF PIPES MILLIONS OF GALLONS OF WATER BEING LOST. AND HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AFTER SO WE HAVE BRAND NEW CARPET WE'VE BRAND NEW PAINT WALLS CEILING TILES A LITTLE BIT MORE OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE MUCH FRESHER LOOK IN ADDITION TO IDENTIFYING ALL THE LEAKS WE'VE DONE LOTS UPGRADES INSIDE BEEHIVE FOUNDATION LIFT THAT'S WHERE OUR IS LOCATED THE FOUNDATION WAS SINKING.

[00:20:04]

THEY TO GET A NEW UPPER SYSTEM GOING PRETTY QUICK SO THAT IT SAFEGUARDED OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS WITHIN THE COUNTY. HERE'S THE SYSTEM THERE'S THE HP WE HAD TO REPLACE THE FIRST KEY ISLAND THERE ISN'T ANY PLACE FACILITIES TEAM WILL NOT GO TO FIX SOMETHING INCLUDING THE FIRST KEY RURAL PARK MODERNIZATION THAT'S ONE OF MANY THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BUT THAT ONE'S ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF WHICH IS A GREAT THING AND WE HAVE SIX OF THEM LINED UP TO TAKE CARE OF IN 26 LIBRARY CONFERENCE ROOM GOOD LOOKING CARPET REPLACEMENT THERE BUT WALTER GENERATOR BIG PROJECT BIG SUCCESS.

OKAY, TWO AND A HALF MONTHS INTO 26 WE HAVE ACQUIRED A BUCKET TRUCK.

YEAH, THANKS TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. YOU WORK ORDER AND ASSETS SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION IS UNDERWAY. WE'VE HIRED A NEW PROJECT MANAGER RON LEWIS. WE HAVE ARMY FOR PROJECT COMPLETION.

WE HAVE AN INTERNAL PROMOTION OF SUNNY MCELHANEY AS OUR NEW FACILITIES OPERATIONS COORDINATOR AND WE HAVE A ROBUST PULL BEHIND GENERATOR FOR EMERGENT NEEDS.

THIS IS WHERE WE SEE OURSELVES BY THE END OF 26 NEW BRIGHT NEW WORK ORDER SYSTEM, FULLY FUNCTIONAL NEW FACILITIES BUILDING ASSESSMENTS, BUILDING ENERGY AUDITS, ASSET DATABASE A 20 YEAR FACILITY SCOPE PLAN VISIBLE BRIGHTLY DASHBOARD NEW EMPLOYEES INCREASED PROJECT COMPLETION AS A RESULT OF A NEW PROJECT MANAGER AND USE OF ARMY AND INCREASE ENERGY SAVINGS BY RETRO LIGHTING AND HVAC REPLACEMENTS TO A TOTAL OF A QUARTER OF $1,000,000 PROJECTED . SO THAT'S THE FACILITY STATE OF THE UNION AND ANY QUESTIONS ANY QUESTIONS? I JUST HAVE ONE. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE SAVINGS ABOUT 100 OR 200 GRAND ON THE ELECTRICAL AND HVAC. DO HAVE A TIMELINE FOR THE ROIC ON THOSE MONEY WE INVESTED FOR LOOKING AT $1,000,000 A YEAR 250 IS WHAT WE SAVED IN 24.

WE'RE GOING TO SAVE A HALF MILLION 25 BY 26, 1.5 27 BY 27 MILLION.

SO LET ME LET ME RESTATE THAT 25 TO 50 26 TO 50 THAT'S A HALF A MILLION 27 WE HAVE THREE QUARTERS AND 2829 WE SHOULD BE ROTATING OUR WAY THROUGH ALL THREE REBATES GRANTS AND ENERGY SAVINGS. SO ABOUT THAT FOUR OR FIVE YEAR MARK WE SHOULD BE BACK TO BREAK I'D SAY ABOUT OUR FIVE YEAR MARK PERFECT. YES, SIR.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU, SIR ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

[8.a. Progress Report for the USDA Compost Pilot Program & Character Review (FISCAL IMPACT: N/A) - Victoria Hoffman, Solid Waste and Recycling Program Manager]

[00:25:03]

SO JUST PROVIDING YOU GUYS IT'S ANALYSIS OF WHAT WE'VE DONE RECENTLY SINCE.

WE LAST SPOKE TO YOU WHEN WE ORIGINALLY REQUESTED THE FUNDS FROM USDA.

WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PARTNER AND THAT PARTNER DID UNFORTUNATELY PULL OUT AND THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE THE COMPOSTING SERVICES AND THAT'S THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR FOOD WASTE PERMIT. IT IS KIND OF DAUNTING AND THERE ARE A LOT OF REGULATIONS AND STIPULATIONS WITH THE STATE SO ANY WAY WE MOVE FORWARD WE'RE GOING TO DO IT OURSELVES NOT RIGHT IT WITH A CHALLENGE AND WE'RE FIGHTING IT HEAD ON.

SO WE DECIDED TO SELECT PUBLIC WORKS CAMPUS OFF OF SHANKLIN ROAD AS OUR PILOT PROGRAM.

SO BECAUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE PURCHASED THE VESSEL UNIT WE WERE ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR A NOT REALLY A PERMIT BUT IT'S CALLED A CONDITIONAL EXEMPTION SO WE'VE ALREADY AND GET MORE INTO TOO BUT WE'VE ALREADY APPLIED FOR THAT CONDITIONAL A PERMIT WE PROCURED OUR EQUIPMENT AND THEN WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON OUTREACH MATERIALS EDUCATION OUTREACH ARE GOING TO BE A BIG PORTION OF THIS PROJECT JUST TO GET MORE PEOPLE AWARE OF COMPOSTING IS AND HOW THEY CAN ALSO TAG IN OUR JOURNEY. LIKE I SAID WE DID HAVE SOME CHALLENGES WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR PARTNERSHIP THAT'S OKAY.

AND THEN ALSO WE JUST KNOW THAT COMMUNITY AWARENESS IS GOING TO BE A REALLY BIG OBSTACLE THAT WE NEED TO TACKLE WITH THIS AND THEN OF COURSE JUST PROCUREMENT THINGS TAKING LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED WHEN WE ORIGINALLY ISSUED THE RFP FOR OUR VESSEL UNIT WE ONLY RECEIVED ONE BID SO WE DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND PUSH THAT OUT ANOTHER 30 DAYS. SO THAT DID PROLONG THE TIME THAT IT TOOK TO PROCURE THE EQUIPMENT BUT ULTIMATELY WE FEEL CONFIDENT BECAUSE DOING THAT WE INITIALLY ONLY GOT THE ONE RESPONSE WE ENDED UP GETTING I BELIEVE FIVE AND THEN ALREADY PROCURED THAT EQUIPMENT BUT IT JUST DID TAKE SOME TIME THAT SOMETIMES WE JUST DON'T CONSIDER AND ACCOUNT FOR AND THEN THE NEXT STEPS SINCE WE'RE GOING BE DOING IT IN-HOUSE OUR IN-HOUSE PUBLIC WORKS TEAM WE'VE GOT A LOT OF GREAT GUYS IN THE FIELD.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING OUR SITE PREP FOR THE INVESTOR UNIT .

WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING SOME CENTER UPGRADES. SO IF YOU HAVE GONE TO SHANKLIN THERE IS A SHED THAT WILL BE HOUSING THE FOOD WASTE RECEPTACLES AND THE OTHER FOUR BIG CENTERS WILL GET THOSE AS WELL. SO IT'LL BE ORIGINALLY STARTING OFF SHANKLIN ST HELENA HILTON HEAD AND BLUFFTON THAT WILL THOSE AND THEN OF COURSE WE'LL CONTINUE TO CREATE OUR OUTREACH MATERIALS ALL RIGHT AS YOU ALL ARE ALREADY AWARE, THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COMPOST PROJECT IS TO DIVERT WASTE. LIKE FRANK SAID, YOU KNOW THE THE BEEN OUTSIDE WAS UNSIGHTLY A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE DON'T THINK ABOUT WHERE THEIR WASTE GOES AFTER THEY'RE DONE WITH IT AND IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT LIKE YEAH, THAT'S GROSS AND IT STINKS BUT WE HAVE SOLUTIONS SO MOVING FORWARD YOU GOT LITTLE PATIENCE IS NOT ONE OF THE THINGS I HAVE READILY AVAILABLE SORRY ABOUT THE COOKING FOR TOO FAST ANYWAY WHEN WE ASK FOR THE FUNDS FROM USDA SOME OF OUR GOALS AND FUTURE PLANNING TOOK INTO ACCOUNT NOT ONLY COLLECTING FOOD WASTE FROM RESIDENTS AT OUR CONVENIENCE CENTERS IN THE FUTURE AFTER WE GET THIS UP AND RUNNING AND WERE SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING WE RECEIVED FROM THE CENTERS WE WERE GOING TO ENGAGE THE LOCAL SCHOOLS AND THEM ENGAGED INTO COMPOSTING AND DIVERTING FOOD WASTE AND THEN HOPEFULLY MAYBE THAT'LL DECREASE THEIR WASTE COSTS AND THEN ALSO WE'D LIKE TO INITIATE A GREEN BUSINESS PLAN GETTING LOCAL BUSINESSES SET UP, IMPROVE OUR COUNTY COMPOSTING AND THEN WORKING WITH THE STATE ON INITIATIVES. THEY HAVE SOME REALLY GREAT INCENTIVES THAT THEY OFFER BUSINESSES. SO ALL OF THESE ARE JUST KIND OF FUTURE YEAR PLANNING RIGHT NOW. WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS WE'LL BE ENGAGING RESIDENTS, ENCOURAGING THEM TO DIVERT FOOD WASTE. AND THIS IS JUST A LITTLE RECAP OUR TIMELINE OUR FUNDS BECAME AVAILABLE. THEY REALLY CAME AVAILABLE IN JUNE OF 2024. BUT BECAUSE OF THE FISCAL YEAR CHANGEOVER WE DIDN'T REALLY RECEIVE THE FUNDS AND WERE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD UNTIL OF 2024 WITH THAT FISCAL YEAR.

BUT WE DID BEGIN OUR PROJECTS AND STARTED PROCURING VENDORS AND EQUIPMENT AND DECEMBER WE

[00:30:01]

I HAD ALL MY NOTES BUT I DIDN'T READ FROM ANY OF SO HOPEFULLY I ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS I ANTICIPATED ASKING. IF NOT WE HAVE TIME FOR THAT BUT I THINK THE NEXT SLIDE YES IS FINANCES OKAY. YES. SO YOU DID HAVE A BIT MORE INFORMATION IN YOUR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THOSE FINANCES. I DID JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT WE HAVE BEEN USING NOT ONLY USDA GRANT FUNDS BUT D.S. GRANT FUNDS AND THAT THOSE ARE FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THE STATE AND THEN PORTION OF THEM HAVE BEEN COUNTY FUNDS.

OKAY. THIS IS MY BIG MOMENT DRUM. I HAVE THIS ALL PLANNED OUT AND I GET SO NERVOUS LIKE AT MYSELF ON CAMERA. BUT DRUM ROLL, PLEASE.

IT'S THE MASK. WE ARE REALLY IS THAT I REALLY CAME HERE TO TELL YOU.

SO EXCITED TO. INTRODUCE TO YOU OUR NEW MASCOT FOR COMPOSTING PROGRAM.

SO A LOT OF THE FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVE FROM THESE ARE USDA. WE'RE FOR A ROBUST EDUCATION OUTREACH PROGRAM AND A LOT OF THOUGHT CONSIDERATION WENT INTO CREATING THIS MASCOT CHARACTER. WE WORKED WITH SEVERAL COUNTY PERSONNEL INCLUDING ARPAIO AND A LOCAL WELL KNOWN TO GUY ADVOCATE. WHAT WE WANTED MARCY TO DISPLAY THE ESSENCE OF COUNTY WITH A HINT OF GULLAH GEECHEE CULTURE SHE WAS INSPIRED BY OUR LOWCOUNTRY ENVIRONMENT. OUR COLLABORATION QUEEN WAS TO ENSURE OUR CULTURAL AUTHENTICITY AND THE GOAL AND GEECHEE REPRESENTATION AND YOU CAN SEE A BIT ABOUT HER PERSONALITY IS GOING TO ENTAIL WHEN WE CREATE ANIMATIONS FOR HER.

SO OUR VENDOR MOONDOG HAS BEEN WORKING WITH US. WE WENT THROUGH SEVERAL ITERATIONS BACK AND FORTH AS YOU CAN SEE HER SHOES THEY'RE MADE OF SWEETGRASS BRAIDED SWEETGRASS. HER DRESS IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE A BANANA AND A BANANA PEEL AND THEN SHE'S GOT SHELL EARRINGS AND HER HAIR IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE A FERN WRAP. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS AND WE REALLY DID TAKE A LOT OF THOUGHT AND CONSIDERATION IN CREATING HER WANTED TO BE ABLE TO CONVEY LIKE WISE AND GENTLE AND WE WANT HER TO TELL STORIES ABOUT COMPOSTING TOO NOT ONLY LIKE ENGAGE KIDS BUT HOPEFULLY ADULTS AS WELL. PBS'S THE LOOKOUT.

HERE WE GO. I DON'T EVEN TAKE MYSELF SERIOUS SO IT'S OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME ON ANY OF THE ABOVE? DO WE HAVE ANY COMMENTS? YES, I THINK I THINK THE CHARACTER LOOKS GREAT.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. YEAH, I'M REALLY EXCITED.

OUR TEAM WE WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH NAMES. MOSSY WAS THE ORIGINAL IDEA.

SO THAT'S YEAH, THAT'S WE'RE ROLLING WITH UNLESS ANYBODY HAS ANY OBJECTIONS.

I WISH IT GREAT SUCCESS PROGRAM. I REALLY THINK IT WILL.

I REALLY THINK IT WILL AND HONESTLY THE JOKE ABOUT PBS ON IT IT'S A IT'S A GOAL IT WOULD BE GREAT TO WORK WITH HAVE TV AND CREATING A PROGRAM WHERE WE CAN EDUCATE ABOUT COMPOSTING AND RECYCLING IF WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. COMMENTS.

I GOT A QUESTION. YES SIR. HAVE ANY OF OUR LARGE AGRICULTURAL FARMERS BOUGHT INTO THIS PROGRAM YET? SO WHEN WE FIRST WERE AWARDED THE FUNDS FROM USDA WE DID GET SOME CALLS AGRICULTURE FROM AN AGRICULTURAL ORGANIZATION AND SO ONCE ARE COMPOSTING AND THE PROGRAM IS RUNNING WE DO PLAN TO REACH OUT TO THOSE.

BUT THERE ARE SOME TESTINGS THAT NEED TO DO WITH OUR COMPOST PRODUCT THE FINISHED PRODUCT PRIOR TO BE ABLE TO APPLY THAT TO AGRICULTURAL LANDS.

SO ONCE WE ARE SET UP AND GOING AND CAN GET THE TESTINGS TO ENSURE THAT IT'S SAFE TO APPLY IT TO THOSE AGRICULTURAL CROPS. BUT ONE OF THE PORTIONS OF OUR GRANT WAS TO DEFINITELY WORK WITH THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS AND WE ALSO WANT TO REACH OUT TO THEM TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO COMPOST ON THEIR LAND IF THEY'RE NOT ALREADY DOING SO. OKAY, GREAT.

PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR COMING IN TODAY.

CONGRATULATIONS THANK YOU. ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR MEETING. WE'RE TO HAVE A BLAST.

[8.b. Approval to award The Greenery a contract for Landscape Maintenance for Linear Medians for various roads throughout the county.

[00:35:03]

ASSUMING IS 10% EACH YEAR OR IS THAT 20% EACH YEAR? THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY QUESTION . I SAW THAT THE 20% IS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE TYPICALLY C IS LIKE A 10%. RIGHT.

THE REASONING HERE IS TWOFOLD TO THIS IS A TWO YEAR BID WE WERE AWARDED THE FIRST YEAR CONTRACT WITH A ONE YEAR RENEWAL SO THAT'S THE COST THERE AND THEN INSIDE OF THE SO THERE'S A LISTED OF THE DIFFERENT MEDIANS THE AIR THAT IT SHOWS IN THE EVENT THAT WE HAVE STORM DURING HURRICANE SEASON. THERE'S A PER EVENT PER EVENT COST SO WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THOSE SO WE DON'T HAVE AND THE BASE COST AS THE $10,000 PER EVENT. SO WE PUT A PLACEHOLDER THERE. OKAY.

THAT WOULD BE THE LIFE OF THE CONTRACT TWO YEARS. SHOULD WE SHOULD WE TAKE THE SECOND YEAR? SO THAT'S THIS MAKES SENSE. CAN I GET A MOTION TO PUT THIS ON THE FLOOR? SORRY. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION IN A SECOND SECOND. THANK YOU WORK AND SIR HARRIET ,YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO IT? I MEAN, I THINK HE'S BEEN TALKING THE WHOLE TIME SO HE MIGHT WELL TAKE SOME TIME. THAT'S OKAY. I DO WANT YOU TO BE SHUT OUT OF THE GREEN LIGHT GOING BY WHAT ARE YOU A BIG SHOUT OUT TO VICTORIA? I KNOW SHE GETS UP HERE AND GETS A LITTLE QUIRKY AND BUT HER HEART AND SOUL IS IN THIS THING Y'ALL KNOW? LIKE SHE IS JUST SHE'S INTO IT. SHE'S DO A GREAT JOB.

BUT I KNOW IN THIS ONE WE ARE ABOUT 18 TO 20% LESS ON THESE CONTRACT NUMBERS THAN WERE OVER THE PREVIOUS YEARS IN STAFF WITH PUBLIC WORKS WE'VE INCREASED TO I THINK WE'RE FULLY STAFFED IN OUR GROUND MAINTENANCE SO WE HAVE TAKEN THAT USED TO HAVE GARDENS THE INTERSECTION WAS INCLUDED IN THIS CONTRACT AND ALSO THE MAINTENANCE ON THE SPANISH MOSS TRAIL FROM THE CITY LIMITS OF CITY VIEW FOR ALPERT'S GRACE HILL.

SO WE'RE TAKING THAT INTO OUR MAKING SO THAT REDUCES SOME OF OUR COSTS AND THAT SO WE'RE ABLE TO DO THAT WORK AND THE COUNTY IS TAKING INTO THEIR HOUSE AND TAKING IT OFF THE CONTRACT. OKAY. MR. SMITH, IF I MAY WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE I KNOW THAT THE LADIES ISLAND BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ON SAN JOSE STATE ROAD AND SANDS POINT ROAD THEY HAVE SPONSORS FOR EACH ONE OF THE MEDIUMS. IS THAT SOMETHING MAYBE THAT THE ERIE COUNTY KEEP YOU FORGET HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY ACTUALLY SPONSOR THE GARDENS RIGHT NOW SO IT'S THE FRIENDS OF GARDENS QUARTER I THINK IS THEIR THING.

THEY ACTUALLY SPONSOR THAT NOW SO THEY HAVE SOME FUNDING IN THERE.

WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO USE SOME OF THEIR FUNDING TO DO SOME PLANTINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WELL YEAH BUT I THINK WITH THESE THE COMPANY THAT THERE WAS A SIGN OUT THERE IS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING AND MAINTAINING IT SO IT'S COST TO THE STATE AND WE WANTED TO KIND OF TAKE THAT ON. IT'S SMALL ENOUGH THAT WE CAN HANDLE IT AND WE'RE JUST WANTING TO HAVE OUR PRESENCE OUT THERE AS WELL. WE THINK WE COULD DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER JOB THAN WHAT THE CONTRACTOR WAS DOING BECAUSE THEY WERE ON A BASIC LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE SO DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN A LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT THEY WERE DOING.

THE OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONTRACT JUST FOR US AND THE PUBLIC WHEN IF THERE'S SOMETHING IN OUR DISTRICT WHETHER IT'S MAINTENANCE OR ANIMALS SIDE OF THE ROAD, ANYTHING LIKE THAT WHO WOULD WE CALL OR WHO WOULD THEY CALL JUST FOR THE PUBLIC WORKS WORKED OAK POLE WORKS MADE NUMBER PERFECT SO JUST CALL THERE AND IF IT'S EVEN IF IT'S A STATE ROAD WE STILL GO OUT AND HELP ON ROADS AS WELL. I MEAN IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S YOU KNOW IN THE WAY WE'LL HELP STATE OUT VISE A STATE WILL HELP US AS WELL TO SAY OR ON THAT QUESTION BC CONNECT OUT SO THERE'S BEEN DISCUSSION ON THAT WE HAVE HAD SOME SOME ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE QUEUE FOR A WHILE WE WERE WORKING THROUGH THAT.

WE HAD SOME INTERNAL GLITCHES AND WE'RE IDENTIFYING ALL THAT BUT THAT IS ANOTHER RESOURCE SO IN ADDITION TO CALL IN A NUMBER FOLKS CAN SUBMIT THAT WE'LL BE MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE MOVING FORWARD THROUGH BUSY CONNECTS. PERFECT. CAN THIS BE.

YES, ABSOLUTELY SO 278 FOR EXAMPLE, SOME OF THE HIGHWAYS, THE MEDIA THEY DO CERTAIN SECTIONS SO IT'S LISTED HERE IN SOME OF THE SECTIONS I THINK FROM LIKE FROM ROSE HILL TO THE NEXT SECTION THAT'LL IN PART OF THIS BUT SOME OF THE WAYS TOO LIKE I KNOW BERKELEY ALL WELFARE THEY DO LIKE THE MEDIAN THEREFORE THEY'RE RIGHT THERE AND WE WE SKIP THOSE AREAS BUT THEY DON'T GET TO PUT SIGNS UP NOBODY KNOWS THEY DO IT. YEAH.

I APPRECIATE IT. HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY? I'M DOING ALL RIGHT.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. I'M DILLON KIDD.

I'M A DEPUTY COUNTY. I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THIS LONG AWAITED ORDINANCE ESSENTIALLY REWRITE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME AS I THINK EVERYONE IS AWARE I'VE BEEN LUCKY TO WORK ON THIS WITH A.K.A JOHN ROBINSON THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS WE HAVE TALKED TO PRIVATE CITIZENS MEMBERS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, MUNICIPALITIES, LAW ENFORCEMENT WE HAVE SAID AND OUR FIRST SERGEANT GANT HERE WITH US TODAY IN SUPPORT AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FOLKS THROUGHOUT THE STATE ON THIS. SO I WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE A LITTLE HISTORY AND A LITTLE SYNOPSIS AS TO WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WHEN YOU WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

THE FIRST AN OBVIOUS THING THAT WE WOULD DO WITH ANY ORDINANCE WHEN WE GO BACK THROUGH IT TO TAKE A LOOK IS IS A BASIC CLEAN UP YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF SECTIONS THAT WERE CROSSED OUT OR OTHERWISE HERE WE WANTED TO TRIM OUT AREAS WHERE WE COULD THINK WE CUT DOWN THE SIZE OF THE ORDINANCE A GOOD BIT FROM WHAT IT USED TO BE WE HAVE STANDARDIZE THE PENALTIES AND ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES THE ORDINANCE WE HAVE SPECIFIED SCOPES OF RESPONSIBILITY BETWEEN DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS AND AGENCIES WHEN IT COMES TO ENFORCING THIS AND WE HAVE GENERALLY TRIED TO STREAMLINE IT TO MAKE IT READ A LITTLE BIT BETTER AS TO THE SUBSTANCE ONE THE FIRST MAJOR SUBSTANTIVE AREA THIS GETS REFERRED SOMETIMES SHORT HAND IS THE ABANDONED BOATS ORDINANCE AND THAT WAS A MAJOR FEAT THING THAT EVERYBODY I THINK JUST DRIVING AROUND THE COUNTY YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE BE IT AFTER A STORM OR EVEN WITHOUT A STORM YOU WILL SEE BOATS THAT HAVE MADE THEIR WAYS TO SOMEWHERE THAT THEY PROBABLY SHOULD NOT BE AND TO BE IN A STATE OF DISREPAIR. SO WE WANTED TO TAKE A LOOK AT HOW WE COULD ADDRESS THIS NOW FOR US WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF DISCRETION IN DOING THAT BECAUSE SOUTH CODE 5021 TEN AND THE SEQUENCE FROM THERE DICTATES THAT IF A LOCAL GOVERNMENT IS TO AN ABANDONED BOATS ORDINANCE IT HAS TO IDENTICAL TO THE STATE ORDINANCE WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE ABANDONED BOATS. SO WE HAVE NO DISCRETION OR IT SAYS OR OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED WHICH BASICALLY MEANS IDENTICAL.

SO WE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT DISCRETION IN SECTIONS ONE OR 278 AND ON THOSE ARE DIRECTLY PROVIDED FOR UNDER STATE LAW. THAT IS THE PROCESS BY WHICH ABANDONED BOATS ARE NOTICED AND REMOVED NOT SO WE ARE NOT ABLE TO REALLY SUBSTANTIVELY TINKER WITH THOSE THE SECTIONS IN FRONT OF THAT THE YOU KNOW THE PURPOSES DEFINITIONS ETC. THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE ADDED IN THERE AS WELL THAT ARE NOT INCONSISTENT WITH THE REMOVAL PROCESS.

SO IN THE OTHER MAJOR SECTION IS GOING TO BE I THINK THAT WE WILL DISCUSS THE SOME OF THE COMMERCIAL USES OF COUNTY DOCKS LANDINGS ETC. NOW THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS WE TO COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO WERE HAD COMPLAINED THAT BUSINESSES LIKE JETSKI RENTALS, PADDLEBOARD RENTALS AND, OTHER BUSINESSES LIKE THAT WOULD FREQUENTLY CONSUME A WHOLE LOT OF SPACE OUR PUBLIC DOCKS, LANDINGS ETC. SO WE TRIED TO TAKE THOSE CONSIDERED CONCERNS INTO CONSIDERATION AND IN ADDRESSING THIS WE ALSO HEARD FROM COMMERCIAL MARINA OPERATORS WOULD COMPLAIN THAT THEIR BUSINESSES ARE HURT WHEN BUSINESSES AVOID LEASING SLIP SPACE AND USE THE PUBLIC LANDINGS THEIR PLACE OF BUSINESS. IT CREATES A COMPETITIVENESS ADVANTAGE BETWEEN SOMEONE WHO LEASES A MARINA SLIP VERSUS SOMEONE WHO USE A PUBLIC BOAT LANDING. AT LAST COUNT I THINK WE HAD 17 BUSINESSES THAT WE FOUND THAT WERE LISTING PUBLIC LANDINGS AS THEIR ADDRESSES FOR PLACE OF BUSINESS.

SO WE WERE TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT AND IN IN THIS PROCESS SO WHAT I WANT TO STRESS IS THAT WHAT WE'VE PUT FORWARD HERE IS A REFLECTION OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE HEARD AND OUR

[00:45:05]

WE ARE CERTAINLY HAPPY TO HEAR THAT FEEDBACK. I WOULD LOVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR YOU THAT I CAN TODAY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS? YES, SIR. YOU ALREADY GOT SECTION ONE OR TWO. NO TEST 31 WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT FISHING AT PUBLIC BOAT LAND AND I. I HAVE ENCOUNTERED SELF SITUATIONS WITH CITIZENS FISHING THAT THE LANDINGS AND THE BOATS COMING IN ME ME MYSELF PERSONALLY ENCOUNTER SOME OF THIS COMING OUT AND THE REAL PROBLEM WITH THEM GETTING OUT OF THE WAY OF MOVING TO THE OTHER SIDE TO APPALACHIA BUT WHAT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED IS THAT THERE'S THERE'S A BOAT DOCK WHERE IT'S RIGHT IN THE VICINITY OF A HOUSING PROJECT AND SOME OF THE RESIDENTS COME DOWN TO THE DOCK WITH THE DOGS UNLEASHED AND. SO WHEN THE BOATS COME UP TO THE DOCK THEN YOU ASK THEM TO CONTROL THE DOGS AND IF THEY COMPLY FINE THEY'RE NON-COMPLIANT AND YOU'VE GOT A CONFRONTATION THAT'S GETTING READY TO START TAKE PLACE HERE.

HOW DO WE THE BOATERS WITH THE PRESIDENT ON THE DOCK WITH A DOG THAT HE OR SHE DOESN'T CONTROL ONE CONTROL TRIBE I MEAN THAT TIES IN TO SOME OTHER AREAS IN WHICH I'VE HAD SOME EXPERIENCE WHICH IS OUR ANIMALS ORDINANCE AND PROCEEDINGS UNDER THAT I DO PROSECUTE MAGISTRATE LEVEL I CODE ENFORCEMENT CASES AND WHAT WE WHAT THAT SOUNDS LIKE IS A RUNNING AT LARGE ISSUE AND WHICH WE SEE WE DO SEE QUITE A BIT GENERALLY SPEAKING ANYWHERE WITHIN THE COUNTY OWNED FACILITY LIKE THAT A DOG IS REQUIRED TO BE ON A LEASH AT ALL TIMES IF THEY ARE NOT THAT IS A VIOLATION OF OUR RUNNING AT LARGE PROVISION OF OUR ANIMAL ORDINANCE.

SO IF WE HAVE WE ALSO HAVE CHANGED THE DEFINITIONS IN THIS WITHIN THIS ORDINANCE TO SAY THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT BCSO OR SOMEONE ELSE ALSO INCLUDES CODE ENFORCEMENT.

SO ENFORCEMENT WILL BE IN THE LOOP AS TO ENFORCING ANY OF THESE ISSUES AT OUR PUBLIC DOCKS, LANDINGS ETC. THEY WOULD BE CHARGED WITH PURSUING ANY ANY ANIMAL ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS LIKE THAT. THEY ESSENTIALLY A CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IS ABLE TO BOTH PROCEED UNDER ENFORCING THE WATERWAYS ORDINANCE AS WELL AS ANIMAL CONTROL CONCERNS. SO THAT WOULD BE MY INITIAL REACTION TO THAT QUESTION OKAY SO ON ANSWERS LIKE THAT AND WHO DO YOU CALL SHERIFF DEPARTMENT WHAT WE SHERIFF'S CODE ENFORCEMENT ANY OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT GENERALLY SPEAKING TO THE ANIMAL CONTROL MATTERS CODE OF AS ENFORCEMENT IS ON DUTY ON THE WEEKENDS WELL A THAT IS A RESOURCES ISSUE THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS AND I WILL TELL YOU WE ARE I AM MEETING WITH DNR IN THE MUNICIPALITIES TOWN BLUFFTON ON WEDNESDAY TO HAMMER OUT THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF THE ENFORCEMENT OF , THE ABANDONED BOATS PROCEDURES TO SAY WHO IS GOING TO DO WHAT EXACTLY IN TERMS OF REMOVING, NOTICING OR OTHERWISE PURSUING THE ABANDONED BOATS ISSUE AND THE OTHER PROVISIONS WITHIN ARE OUR TWO AUDIENCES BECAUSE TOWN OF BLUFFTON HAS HIS THE FIRST ISSUE THE THEY WERE AWARDED SET FOR FIRST READING AS WELL FOR OR WEEKENDS THEY WILL CALL THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE THEY ENFORCE STATE LAW IT'S A VIOLATION OF STATE LAW TO BE OFF A LEASH IF YOU'RE OFF YOUR OWN PROPERTY TOO. WE HAVE SIGNS THAT SAY DOGS RIGHTS FAMILIES OR CRITTERS COULD BE IS SOMETHING ELSE. SO YOU DO THAT BUT IT'S UNNECESSARY. IT'S VIOLATION OF THE ORDINANCE AND STATE LAW.

BUT I MEAN IF YOU CALL THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE UNLESS THEY'RE RIGHT THERE BY THE TIME THEY GET THERE THAT DOG AND OWNER GOT THE WE HAVE SOME SIGNS SO PEOPLE I NO NOT NOBODY BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVEN'T READ THE ORDINANCE DOGS BEING ON A LEASH OR WHATEVER SO WE PUT A SIGN UP AGAIN IT'S A STATE LAW AS WELL. WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE SIGNS AT ALL OF OUR PUBLIC BOAT LANDINGS THAT TALK ABOUT ANIMALS SHOULD BE LEASHED. IT IS A COUNTY WIDE STATEMENT AND WELL YES. THANK YOU STATEWIDE POLICY. OUR ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS ARE AVAILABLE 24 HOURS A DAY. SO ANY PHONE CALL TO THE ANIMAL CONTROL HOTLINE YOU WILL GET EITHER LEAVE A MESSAGE AND YOU'LL GET AN OFFICER TO CALL YOU BACK OR AN OFFICER WILL ANSWER THE SO THEY SHOULD CALL ANIMAL CONTROL NOT THE SHERIFF .

YOU HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS BECAUSE YOU'RE CROSSING WAS KIND OF RESPOND FASTER PROBABLY IN THIS CASE ANIMAL CONTROL FOR SURE BUT YOU HAVE TO ORDINANCE IS THAT AND THE STATE ORDINANCE THAT GOVERNS THE SAME ACTIVITIES OR SIMILAR ACTIVITY AT THE SAME LOCATION I MEAN

[00:50:02]

QUESTION YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT. JUST GOT A SERIES QUESTIONS I'M JUST GOING TO CONTINUE TO REVIEW DON'T LET ME KNOW ONE HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE YOU RECEIVED AND OVER WHAT PERIOD OF TIME AND WHERE WERE THOSE GENERAL WHERE WERE THOSE COMPLAINTS LOCATED KIND OF I GUESS IN GENERAL AND WHICH MARINAS CONTACTED YOU? THE COMMERCIAL LEASING OF THE SLIPS AND HOW MANY COMPANIES GAVE FEEDBACK ON THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE? SO WE WE RECEIVED COMPLAINTS. DO YOU DO YOU HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER? WELL, IS THIS THE NOTE THAT I SENT YOU TO? IT IS BUT WE DON'T HAVE A NUMBER OF OKAY. NO, I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER.

WE A COMMERCIAL MARINA THAT IS NEAR MAIN PALMETTO BAY OUTSIDE OF PALMETTO BAY AND SEE BY VIRTUE OF THE MARINAS THAT THAT COMPLAINED ABOUT THE I GUESS WHAT WOULD BE THE COMMERCIAL USE OF PUBLIC LANDINGS THAT AFFECT BUSINESSES WHO RENT THEIR SLIPS IT ENCOURAGES A A DISPROPORTIONATE FAVOR TO THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE NOT RENTING SLIPS IN OTHER WORDS THESE THESE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES OPERATE OUT OF A PUBLIC LANDING WHEN THEY SHOULD BE RENTING A SLIP USING THAT SPACE. SO IT DOES CREATE A DISADVANTAGE FOR OF THOSE USES YOU WILL SEE WE WERE VERY CAREFUL ADDRESS THOSE MAKING SURE THAT WE IDENTIFIED THE EXCEPTIONS FOR THAT RIGHT UP FRONT THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL FISHING ACTIVITIES THAT WERE EXEMPTION EXEMPTIONS UNDER THE RESTRICTIONS FOR COMMERCIAL USE SO WE TRIED TO VERY CAREFULLY CAPTURE THE DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD TO LIMIT COMMERCIAL YET NOT STIFLE THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE PUBLIC TO USE OUR OUR PUBLIC BOAT RAMPS.

AND LIKE I SAID WHERE WERE MOST OF THE LOCATED THEY CAME WE HAD I WOULD SAY MOST OF THEM FROM THE SOUTH LITTLE BROAD OF BOAT RAMPS OR BOAT LANDINGS WHERE THE POPULATION DENSITY AND THE COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER AT OUR AT OUR BOAT LANDINGS.

OKAY. AND THEN ONCE AGAIN HOW MANY COMPANIES ACTUALLY PROVIDED FEEDBACK ON THIS AND THEY SAID YES. FOUND 17 THAT WERE USED IN A COMMERCIAL SITE WHAT THEIR YES LOCATION BUT HOW MANY ACTUALLY GIVE FEEDBACK ON THOSE OF THOSE COMMERCIAL COMPANIES JUST JUST THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY HOW MANY COMPANIES ACTUALLY OH MY GOODNESS I DIDN'T REALLY KEEP TRACK OF THAT INFORMATION. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ORDINANCE FOR NEARLY A YEAR. WHAT WAS THERE ANYBODY PERSONAL CONTACT? YEAH. DID WAS ANYBODY INVOLVED IN THE DRAFTING OF THIS OR WAS THIS DONE INTERNALLY? WAS THIS KNOW THIS THIS WAS THIS WAS SO THIS WAS COMMUNICATION SOME OF IT BETWEEN THOSE CONSTITUENTS AND COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO DURING MEETINGS MADE IT MADE US AWARE THAT WERE COMPLAINTS OF COMMERCIAL USE AT OUR PUBLIC LAND. I'LL JUST LET YOU KNOW I'VE ALREADY GOTTEN NEGATIVE FEEDBACK BEFORE THIS THING EVEN WAS PUBLISHED ABOUT ESPECIALLY FOR NORTHERN COUNTY BECAUSE YOU GOT PEOPLE ARE USING IT RIGHT THAT ARE TRYING TO LAUNCH YOU KNOW THEIR KAYAK RENTALS NOT PARKING OUT THERE. THAT'S JUST A MEET UP PLACE FOR THEM TO TO LAUNCH AND GO OUT THERE AND IF WE DO THIS THAT CAN PUT PEOPLE OUT OF BUSINESS AND I DON'T THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, DO ANYTHING WRONG. I THINK THEY'RE USING IT I DON'T MIND THEM USING IT FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. I MEAN OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THE CRABBERS, THE OYSTERMEN. YOU KNOW, WE'VE KIND OF DONE THE COMMERCIAL FISHING CARVE BUT I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE PASSING THIS TO FAVOR MARINAS. I MEAN I MEAN YEAH, THIS ORIGINATED ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF TO TWO YEARS AGO BACK WHEN I WAS THE DEPUTY AND COMPLAINTS WERE COMING IN FROM ATTORNEY TAYLOR AND A FEW OTHERS IN THE PRIMARILY CENTERED AROUND PARKING AND LANDING AND LIKE A OPERATION THERE COMMERCIALLY DOING SOME TRANSPORTS AND THE JETSKIS SEA MONKEY I THINK OR A COUPLE OTHER COMPANIES AND SOME KAYAKS THERE IS WHAT IT WAS.

[00:55:05]

THAT'S A THAT'S A DISCUSSION COUNCIL HAVE TO HAVE AND THEN DETERMINE DO THEY MAKE IT ACROSS THE BOARD OR DO LIMIT IT TO A FEW OF THEM PIERS OR BOAT LANDINGS THAT'S ALL IN COUNCIL'S PREROGATIVE AND THAT'S FOR THEM TO DISCUSS AND SET THE POLICY OR NOT OUR POSITION IS NOT TO DEBATE THAT POINT STAFF TOOK DIRECTION FROM COUNCIL CREATED THE CREATED EXEMPTIONS AS WELL AS THE PROHIBITIONS FOR COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY WE'RE WE ARE HERE TO END THAT AS AS YOU FIND NECESSARY OR SEE FIT YES SIR YEAH I MEAN DAVE AND I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM AND I'VE ACTUALLY HAD LOTS OF ISSUES THE ALL JOY LANDING THE EVEN THE ONE THE OYSTER COMPANIES IN DOWNTOWN BLUFFTON THAT'S ACTUALLY KIND OF BLUFFTON STILL IT'S STILL IN THE COUNTY AND THEN THE HUSKY BECAUSE YOU GET ALL DIFFERENT OF THINGS WHERE YOU GET PEOPLE TO GO AND PULL UP THERE, JUST LEAVE THEIR BOAT TAKING UP SPACE. SO HOW DO WE ENFORCE THAT? WHAT'S WHAT'S TO HAPPEN THERE? BECAUSE I GET THOSE CALLS AND IT'S BEEN THERE FOR HALF THE DAY.

HOW WHO CAN YOU SEND OVER TO ENFORCE IT? AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE ISSUES WITH ALL WHERE COMMERCIAL PEOPLE ARE NOT TELLING PEOPLE THAT COMMERCIAL WHERE THEY'RE PICKING UP PEOPLE AT THE DOCK THEY'RE LEAVING CARS PARKED THERE AND USING ALL JOY AS A COMMERCIAL PICKUP. THEY'RE USING ALL THE PARKING THEN FOR A COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY AS OPPOSED TO IT BEING FOR THE FOR THE THE GENERAL PUBLIC SO AND THE SAME THING IT KNOW BOSTON'S HAD WORK ON THE THE KAYAKS BECAUSE WHERE A LOT OF THE PEOPLE THERE SO AGAIN THEY'RE TAKING UP SPACE IS WHENEVER A BUSY SATURDAY MORNING WHATEVER YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE THAT ARE RESIDENTS OF THE FROM OUR VIEWS AND WE NEED TO HAVE A PASS LIKE YOU HAVE FOR THE CONVENIENCE CENTERS FOR THE BOAT LANDINGS THE SAME WAY THAT WE WE KNOW IT'S ONLY RESIDENTIAL PEOPLE AGAIN BUT THEN WHO'S GOING TO ENFORCE IT SO SO ENFORCEMENT AND WHAT THE RULES ARE AND WHAT PEOPLE ARE USING THEM FOR AND EVEN THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE KAYAK COMPANIES I'M SURE YOU FOUR COUNTY RESIDENTS AND THEN YOU GET TO THE BOAT LANDINGS YOU TONS OF PEOPLE WITH GEORGIA IN BLUFFTON ON GEORGIA LICENSE THAT ARE COMING OVER TO USE OUR LANDINGS THEY GO TO SANDBAR OR SOMEPLACE ELSE SO THIS IS IN MY DISTRICT HAS BEEN A BIG BIG DEAL I'VE READ THROUGH AND YOU GO THROUGH IT AGAIN TO FIND OUT WHERE EVERYTHING IS BUT IT GETS COMPLICATED BECAUSE YOU KNOW ONCE YOU HAVE IT THERE WHO ENFORCES IT? WHO'S GOING TO ENFORCE WE CAN HAVE SOMEONE THAT'S AVAILABLE. THE SHERIFF'S NOT GOING TO ENFORCE IT. HE'S WILL LOOK BACK AND SAY HEY, THAT'S THAT'S A COUNTY ENFORCEMENT SO IN BOSTON IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE THE BOSTON POLICE DEPARTMENT WELL, IT'S IN THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON THAT'S THE OYSTER COMPANY. BUT THEN ALL JOY IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREA AND TO USE IN THE UNINCORPORATED AREAS TO SERVE THAT'S IN THE IN THE ORDINANCE SPECIFICALLY FOR BOSTON. OH OKAY PERFECT.

THAT'S TRUE. I DO HAVE JUST A FOLLOW UP QUESTION TO WHAT WAS SECTION IT TALKS ABOUT DIRECTLY IN DIRECTING TO SOLICIT BUSINESS OF ANY KIND? HOW DOES THIS GET INTO LET'S SAY SOMEBODY'S TRYING TO SELL A BOAT AND DOING SEA TRIALS.

THIS WOULD TECHNICALLY PROHIBIT THAT. SO HOW CAN I EVEN GO TEST BOAT OUT EVEN FROM A COMMERCIAL LIKE COMPANY THAT SELLS BOATS? HOW CAN GO TEST OUT THIS WOULD BE IT'D BE PROHIBITED I KNOW IT GOES DOWN ENFORCEMENT BUT YOU COULDN'T EVEN GO TEST ABOUT HOW WE WE IN DRAFTING THIS DID TAKE A LOOK AT THAT ISSUE AND WE WERE EACH CONCLUSION THAT WE DON'T THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE PROHIBITED BY THE ORDINANCE TEST DRIVING THOUGH IT WAS A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE THAT WE DISCUSSED AS LONG AS IT'S NOT BEING MARKETED SOLD ON THE SITE OF THE PUBLIC LANDING IF IT IS SOMETHING WHERE A CONSUMER HAS IS IS TEST DRIVING SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN LOOKING TO PURCHASE ELSEWHERE, WE WOULD TAKE THE POSITION THAT THAT WOULD NOT VIOLATE THIS ORDINANCE. I SEE PART OF BOTH OF THEIR ARGUMENTS BUT I ALSO SEE THE DIFFERENCE A PERSON THAT HAS A BOAT AND TAKES TWO PEOPLE OUT YOU KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT DO THAT RIGHT THERE PICNIC ISLAND I KNOW THAT IS A BIG ISSUE OVER THERE AND THEN PEOPLE JUST DROP THEIR CARS OFF, HOP ON THE BOAT BECAUSE THE PERSON PUT IT IN AND THEY RUN IN THEIR BUSINESS OUT OF IT THAT I GET THEN I DO SEE SOME

[01:00:07]

SO WHERE'S THAT MIDDLE LINE THAT IS? I'LL BE HONEST.

YOU ALSO GOT THE SAME ARGUMENT I CAN'T GO TO A PUBLIC ROAD AND SET UP SHOP A PUBLIC ROAD AND PUT A STORE OUT. I CAN'T I CAN'T GO PUT A VEGETABLE STAND WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM WHOEVER OWNS IT. IT'S NO DIFFERENT THAN ON A BOAT LANDING. SO I TELL YOU WHAT MR. FOR ME YOU KNOW I DO SEE SOME LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS AS WELL BUT I THINK HEARING THAT IT REALLY WAS BEEN HAS BEEN AN INTERNAL PROCESS I WOULD MAKE A MOTION TO DEFER THIS TO THE NEXT PUBLIC FACILITIES MEETING AND GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO THOSE BUSINESSES IN THE AREA TO GET FEEDBACK. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION ON THE FLOOR DO WE HAVE A SECOND? A SECOND A MOTION SECOND DISCUSSION? I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. I WOULD JUST SAY THAT WHAT ARE WE OPENING IT UP TO? TO PEOPLE THAT WANT TO RUN A BUSINESS OF A PUBLIC LANDING IS THE FEEDBACK YOU'RE GOING TO GET. MAYBE WE INVITE THEM HERE TO THIS NEXT PLACE FOR AND SAY YOU KNOW, JUST PUT IT IN PUT IT OUT THERE AND GET SO WE CAN DO THE WORK HERE IN COMMITTEE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO TAKE UP TIME IN THE REGULAR COUNTY WHICH AGAIN AND I'LL BE HONEST I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA. I THINK THE DISCUSSION WILL BE HEALTHY. I MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS AND I'LL SUPPORT WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING TO GET OUT OF IT IF IT'S JUST GOING PEOPLE TO COME HERE AND SAY WE WANT TO STILL RUN OUR BUSINESS OUT OF A LANDING, WHAT DOES THAT PUT US AFTER? WELL, I MEAN THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE MORE CLOSELY TIED TO IT MAYBE THEY CAN CAN TELL US, HEY, WE'RE WILLING TO DO A PERMIT OR MAYBE WE CAN SET X NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES AS COMMERCIAL AND PERMIT THOSE YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE COULD TURN IT INTO A REVENUE SOURCE FOR THE COUNTY AND OFFSET THAT COUNT THAT CALLS I MEAN THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE THEY'RE BETTER SITUATED AT FIGURING OUT FINDING THAT MIDDLE GROUND AND I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT AT LEAST THAT HAVE REACHED OUT TO ME THIS BEFORE THIS EVEN GOT PUBLISHED THEY CAUGHT WIND OF THIS AND I MEAN THEY WERE MAD AND I THINK THEY WANT AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD AND MAYBE WE CAN FIND A MIDDLE GROUND WHERE THESE ARE RATIONAL PEOPLE.

YEAH. JUST WANTED CLARITY FOR THE GIRL THAT'S ALL.

IS THIS SOMETHING I MEAN OBVIOUSLY THERE'S MULTIPLE THINGS HERE INCLUDING THE ABANDONMENT OF BOATS. IS THIS SOMETHING WE WANT TO SEPARATE AND MOVE THE REST FORWARD OR DO WE WANT TO KEEP THIS TOGETHER JUST? ARE WE ON A TIMELINE I GUESS IS WHAT I'M ASKING FOR THE ABANDONMENT OF BOATS BECAUSE I KNOW THE TOWN OF WE DO THEY ARE PROCEEDING THEY HAVE HAD THEIR FIRST READING. I DO THINK WE WANT TO KEEP EVERYTHING TOGETHER JUST THAT STANDPOINT WE'VE A FIRST AND SECOND ON THE FLOOR.

IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO POSTPONE THIS TO THE NEXT SCHEDULED? WELL, I GUESS QUESTION WE WANT TO JUST REVIEW POLLS ONE OR 229 I GUESS I THINK THAT'S THE ONLY SECTION IN QUESTION AND BE ABLE TO MOVE THE REMAINDER FORWARD FOR THE ABANDONED BOATS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'S A ISSUE TO THE NEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD. DOES ANYONE COMPLICATE THINGS? LET MRS. CAN AS WELL. OKAY JUST JUST KEEP IT TOGETHER AND THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.

I WOULD I WOULD ENCOURAGE ORIGINALLY TO MOVE FORWARD TO COUNTY COUNCIL TO HAVE A DISCUSSION. YOU'RE RIGHT I DO THINK IT WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME.

YEAH. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT CONSTRAINED ON ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, ANY OBJECTION TO POSTPONE THIS SORRY I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK SO SO WHAT IS THE MOTION TO POSTPONE TO THE NEXT SCHEDULED PUBLIC FACILITIES JUST TAKE BACK A MONTH AND GET SOME FEEDBACK. WHAT WAS THE DATE YOU 20TH THANK YOU STAFF'S OKAY WITH THAT? YES SIR.

WE WE WE'RE WE'RE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF COMMITTEE DOING ALL THE LEGWORK AND SUGGESTING THE CHANGES AND EDITS THAT HE SAID OKAY HANK. YES, THAT'S RIGHT.

I WILL SAY THAT THE THE INSPIRATION FOR THE PROHIBITIONS WAS THAT WHAT MR. HOLBERT TALKED ABOUT EARLIER LAST YEAR WE HAD COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES USING OUR PUBLIC BOAT RAMPS AND NO MECHANISM TO MANAGE THAT BEHAVIOR. THIS WAS INTENDED TO GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO MANAGE SOME OF THAT BEHAVIOR. THAT'S WHY IT'S THERE.

YEAH. I DON'T THINK THAT DISCUSSION IS NECESSARILY LIKE THAT.

WE DON'T WANT A WAY TO MANAGEMENT OR TOOLS TO USE IT'S JUST WHAT'S THE BEST PRACTICE TO GET THERE AND SEE IF THERE IS A MIDDLE GROUND TO MAKE THIS SUCCESSFUL AND ON THE RIGHT FOOT JUST KIND OF LIKE WE DID I'M SURE YOU GUYS REMEMBER ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF TWO YEARS AGO WITH OUR PASSIVE PARKS WE CAME SWING IN WITH HAVE TO GET A LICENSE TO DO ALL THIS STUFF AND WE TOOK A BACK REVISE IT CAME OUT OF A GREAT PRODUCT AND WE MOVED FORWARD.

WE'VE GOT THE OUTSIDE AGENCY HERE SO THERE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ABANDONED BOAT ASPECT OF IT IF WE ASK THOSE NOW WHERE HE THOUGHT HE WAS JUST HERE TO KEEP US SAFE TODAY HE HAD

[01:05:05]

ANY QUESTIONS IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANTED TO ADD TO IT? I MEAN ALREADY CAME OUT HUNG OUT WITH US FOR HOUR OR SO JUST I WASN'T REALLY PREPARED TO DO SPEAKING OUT BUT THERE WAS ANY QUESTION IT IT JUST CHANGED FOR THE END OF THE PROCESS. SO IT IS MORE OF A STRAIGHT ONE. YEAH TWO DEFINITIONS THE NEGATIVE JANE FILM AIRPORT WAS A DERELICTION IN THE VAN NESS OF THE STATE MORE CATEGORIZED IT OF IT MAYBE ABANDONED FROM THERE DUE TO WHATEVER NATURAL DISASTER OR IT COULD BE SOMETHING SO CERTAIN THEY MADE IT AND IT JUST NEGLECTED COMPLETELY SO YES SIR CAN THIS BE DONE WITH NO OBJECTION A POSTPONE UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING ON OCTOBER 20TH? YES THIS IS POSTPONED UNTIL OCTOBER 20TH WITH NO OBJECTION. I KNOW YOU MAY READ THAT ENTIRE AND I WOULD HAVE TO READ IT AGAIN AT THE NEXT MEETING AND I'LL READ IT FOR YOU AND I KNOW MY ROOM IS ALL RIGHT.

[8.d. Approval of a resolution authorizing the County Administrator to enter into memoranda of agreement with wet utility providers to comply with the provisions of South Carolina Act 36 (FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact incurred with passage of resolution. Each project, if applicable, will have utility relocation costs included with the project cost.) - Bryan Bauer, PE, Director fo Engineering ]

MOVING TO THE NEXT ONE APPROVAL RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR ENTER INTO AN MOU WITH WET UTILITY PROVIDERS TO COMPLY WITH PROVISIONS OF SOUTH CAROLINA ACT 36. WE HAVE A MOTION TO PUT THIS ON THE FLOOR SO ANY SECOND NOW SECOND. MISS HOWARD THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

HI. HOW ARE YOU? GOOD.

AND YOU DOING WELL. ONLY TWO ITEMS FOR YOU TODAY. ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.

SO ACT 36 IS A STATE LEGISLATOR STATE LEGISLATION THAT GOVERNS THE INTERACTION OF TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS TAKEN ON BY A PUBLIC IN A WET UTILITY A WATER SEWER.

SO FOR A LARGE UTILITY WHICH ALL THE ONES THAT WE WILL ENCOUNTER ARE THE COUNTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR UP TO 4% OF THE RELOCATION NOT NOT A BETTERMENT BUT JUST A RELOCATION.

SO THIS GIVES THE ADMINISTRATOR THE AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER INTO IT WITH THOSE UTILITIES WHEN THOSE COME UP AND THEN THAT UTILITY WOULD BE UPDATED AFTER IT'S APPROVED AT COUNCIL WITH FINAL COSTS. SO YOU WOULD BE PRESENTED TO IT THE AWARD IS PRESENTED SO ANY QUESTIONS NOW MUST BE APPROVED. NO OBJECTION AND I SEE NO OBJECTION.

[8.e. Approval of an Ordinance authorizing the execution and delivery of Utility Easement #907041 for Right of Way Owned by Beaufort County known as Dolphin Watch Point Located on Lady’s Island (FISCAL IMPACT: NA) - Bryan Bauer PE, ENV SP, Director of Engineering]

THANK AND A SECOND I'LL SECOND IT BY TAB. THANK YOU AND THIS IS JUST ONE OF OUR CURRENT DIRT ROAD PAVING PROJECTS. DOMINION HAD A COUPLE OF UTILITY POLES THAT WERE GOING TO BE IN THE NEW ROADWAY SO THEY HAD TO MOVE THOSE UTILITY POLES OUT OF THE ROADWAY. THEY STAYED WITHIN THE RIGHT AWAY. WE RETAIN OUR PRIOR RIGHT SO THIS IS JUST GIVING THEM AN EASEMENT TO ACCESS THOSE POLES . SO FINANCIALLY WE'RE NOT PAYING FOR ANY MOVEMENT OF THEM WE'RE JUST SO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ROAD THAT WE'VE ALREADY FUNDED.

YEP THEY DIDN'T HAVE PRIOR RIGHTS SO THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR IT RELOCATION THIS JUST GIVES THEM EASEMENT ACCESS. OKAY IT'S PRETTY CLEAN. ANYBODY QUESTIONS THIS BE APPROVED? NO OBJECTION AND THIS IS APPROVED WITH NO OBJECTION AS WELL. THANK YOU. ISN'T IT FUN?

[8.f. Approval of an ordinance to appropriate excess funds collected from the 2018 Transportation Sales Tax (FISCAL IMPACT: Appropriates $11,100,831.82 from the remaining 2018 Transportation Sales Tax surplus; no General Fund appropriation is required. Interest earnings are designated for program management and contingencies/overruns per the ordinance) - Jared Fralix, Assistant County Administrator]

THIS IS THE SECONDARY ACT TO WHAT YOU GUYS DID IN JULY. SO IN JULY WE BROUGHT A RESOLUTION TO DEFINE REDEFINE THE PROJECT FROM 2018 AND WE'VE HAD TO DATE UP TO HUNDRED AND $20 MILLION WAS THE SALES TAX WE COLLECTED $146 MILLION. WE PREVIOUSLY TRYING TO GET TO A PAGE WE PREVIOUSLY HAD HAD ALLOCATED THROUGH A SEPARATE ORDINANCE $15 MILLION TO GO TOWARD SIDEWALKS AND PATHWAYS. SO THIS IS THE REMAINING $11 MILLION AND IT WOULD GO TOWARDS THE ROAD PROJECT LIST OR PROJECT LIST THAT WAS DEFINED IN THE EARLIER RESOLUTION FROM SO THIS IS JUST THE FINAL DOTTING THE I'S AND CROSSING OUR T ON THE APPROPRIATION OF THOSE FUNDS WE HAVE THAT LIST HAND NOW OR NOW YEAH IT'S IN THE RESOLUTION IN THE BACK UP THAT'S MY FAULT SO IT'S IT'S RIGHT THERE. WELL SHE WAS LOOKING AT ME LIKE SHE WAS GOING TO PULL IT UP. THAT'S THERE. SO IT'S LIKE YEAH I KNOW.

I JUST TO PUT IT OUT FOR THE PUBLIC IS WHAT I WAS THINKING ORIGINALLY WE WERE GOING IN SAY

[01:10:01]

ABSOLUTELY. THIS WILL BE APPROVED AT NO OBJECTION AND THIS HAS TO MOVE ON THE COUNTY COUNCIL, CORRECT? YES, THE ORDINANCE. SO WE'LL NEED THREE READINGS ALREADY. THIS WILL BE APPROVED AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT COUNTY COUNCIL

[8.g. Approval of an Ordinance to appropriate $848,912 to St. James Baptist Church from the established project funds for the associated furniture and fixtures related to the overall project. (FISCAL IMPACT: The appropriation request of $848,912 is within the estimated value of the Church’s contribution ($1,290,000) toward the overall $9,840,000 project.) - Jared Fralix, Assistant County Administrator]

APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE 184TH OUT 148,000 $912,000 TO SAINT BABB SAINT JAMES BAPTIST FOR THE ESTABLISHED PROJECT FUNDS ASSOCIATED FURNITURE FIXTURES RELATED TO THE OVERALL PROJECTS I'LL MAKE MOTION TO APPROPRIATE THOSE FUNDS SECOND SECOND.

AWESOME. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHTY.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL EXPLAIN IT. WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE THE AVAILABILITY TO PUT THE COST ESTIMATE UP. I'LL JUST GRAB IT AS BEST AS POSSIBLE.

OVERALL THE PROJECT COST IS A LITTLE OVER $8 MILLION AND THEN THE LAND COSTS BOTH THE EXISTING LAND AND THE NEW PROPOSED ACREAGE FIVE ACRE SITE IS ABOUT 4 MILLION.

SO THE OVERALL TOTAL COST OF THE PROJECT IS $12 MILLION. HOWEVER A LOT OF THE LAND COSTS BOTH THE EXISTING SITE AND THE FUTURE SITE ARE CREDITED. THEY'RE NOT REALLY EXPENSES.

SO WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE UPDATED THE COST ESTIMATE SO YOU CAN SEE IT CLEARLY OUR OUR REVENUES AND EXPENSES MATCH SO $9.84 MILLION AND INSIDE OF THAT IS A CONTRIBUTION FROM SAINT JAMES BAPTIST FOR THE VALUE OF THEIR EXISTING PARCEL SO THEY'RE TAKING THE THE PURCHASE PRICE OF ONE POINT ALMOST $3 MILLION AND THAT'S IN THE PROJECT FUNDS TO CONSTRUCT THE NEW FACILITY. AND THEN WHAT'S BEEN INCLUDED IN THE TOTAL PROJECT COST FROM THE BEGINNING HAS NOT BEEN IT HAS BEEN NOT ONLY THE FACILITY ITSELF, THE THE NEW CHURCH, THE FELLOWSHIP HALL AND THE RELOCATION OF THE SCHOOL BUT ALSO THE OUTFIT OF THE OF THE NEW SANCTUARY AND SUCH. SO THIS IS THE FURNITURE AND FIXTURES.

LIKE I SAID, IT'S $848,000. THE CHURCH WOULD BE APPROPRIATED TO THE CHURCH.

THEY WOULD SUBMIT QUARTERLY REPORTS ON THE EXPENDITURES OF THAT AND THEN THEY WOULD GO AHEAD AND MOVE FORWARD ON PURCHASING THE FURNITURE AND SELECTING THE VENDORS THAT THEY WANT. SO IT'LL BE WORKING CONCURRENTLY WITH US AS WE'RE PUT OUT OUR PROCUREMENT FOR THE ADVERTISEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FACILITY SO.

QUESTION YES MA'AM. AND WHEN THEY SAID THEY'LL SELECT FURNITURE AND MAKE THE WINDOWS AND ALL THOSE THEY'LL USE THEIR OWN PROCUREMENT SYSTEM THAN OURS, CORRECT? THAT'S RIGHT. IT WILL BE THE CHURCH THOSE BUT WE IF THEY COME IN OVER THIS IS A BOTTOM LINE. THIS IS THEIR THIS IS THE NUMBER.

SO IF THEY COME IN OVER IT THAT'S THAT'S ON THEM. SO THEY FEEL CONFIDENT WITH THE NUMBERS THAT THEY'VE UPDATED THEM AND HAVE ALREADY BEEN WORKING YOUR CHURCH PARTNERS IS THE PROJECT LIAISON AND SPONSOR FOR THE CHURCH THEY'VE HELPED THEM ALREADY GUIDE THEM AND MAKE SURE IN THE BUDGET YEAR OKAY SO THEY FEEL GOOD. ONE THING TO NOTE IS IN A PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE COST ESTIMATE IT INCLUDED THE WINDOWS IN THE CHURCH THEY'VE MOVED BECAUSE THE STORM RATED WINDOWS IN THE STAINED GLASS INTO THIS FURNITURE AND FIXTURES SO IT MOVED FROM CONSTRUCTION COST INTO FURNITURE AND FIXTURES.

SO THE OVERALL IS STILL THE SAME FROM WHAT'S BEEN PROPOSED IN THE ORIGINAL COST ESTIMATE BUT THAT COSTS THIS TRANSITION KIND OF QUESTION YES MA'AM. SO FORGIVE ME FOR ASKING BUT THIS PROJECT HAS TAKEN A LONG SO I'M LOOKING AT NUMBER FOUR IF THEY DON'T SPEND THAT'S A THREE YEAR WINDOW THEY HAVE TO GIVE THE MONEY BACK IS IT FEASIBLE THEY'RE GOING TO GET IT DONE IN A THREE YEAR WINDOW. YES. SO I REALLY HOPE WE GET THIS PROJECT DONE SOON. SO WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROJECT WE HAVE SOME THINGS TO IRON OUT BUT WE'RE GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO BEING ABLE TO PUT THE PROJECT OUT TO BID ONCE WE DO THE PROJECT HAS A 15 MONTH TIMELINE FOR CONSTRUCTION. SO GIVEN THE TIMELINE AND CONSTRUCTION AND EVEN SOME SPARE IN THERE WE FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THE CONSTRUCTION WILL BE DELIVERED AND FURNITURE AND FIXTURES ARE SIMULTANEOUS SO THEY'LL BE RUNNING TANDEM SO AS LONG AS THEY HAVE A BUILDING TO PUT THEM IN THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO MEET THAT THREE YEAR TIMELINE. OKAY. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. MY OTHER QUESTION IS THIS IS THE SAME THAT WE PROMISED BEFORE WE'RE JUST APPROPRIATING THE FUNDS NOW. YEAH, YEAH.

OVERALL JUST TO EXPLAIN THE FUNDING. SO YOU GUYS ARE ARE EXTREMELY

[8.h. Approval of a resolution to implement a Customer Facility Charge (CFC) on rental car contracts and direct the collection and application of the CFC proceeds (FISCAL IMPACT: This is a revenue-generating item) - Jon Rembold, Airports Director]

ALL RIGHT, JOHN. APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION TO IMPLEMENT A CUSTOMER FACILITY ON RENTAL CAR CONTRACTS AND DIRECT THE COLLECTION APPLICATION OF THE CFC PROCEEDS OF A MOTION TO PUT THIS ON THE FLOOR. SOME OF OUR SECOND MY SECOND ADVISOR LAWSON. YES, SIR. GOOD AFTERNOON.

HOW ARE YOU? GOOD, GOOD. FIRST OFF, THIS IS A REVENUE GENERATING ITEM SO I JUST WANT TO GET THAT OUT FRONT AND IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE CFC CUSTOMER FACILITY CHARGE IT IS IT'S VERY SO IF YOU RENT A CAR AT AN AIRPORT, IF YOU GO THE DETAILS OF YOUR INVOICE, CHANCES ARE YOU'LL FIND A CUSTOMER FACILITY IN THERE SOMEWHERE. KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU LOOK AT A HOTEL RECEIPT AND FIND THE DIFFERENT TAXES AND FEES ARE ADDED ON. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE FEES AND WHAT A CFC IS USED FOR THIS THIS IS AN AGREED UPON ITEM WHERE AN AIRPORT TEAMS UP WITH RENTAL CAR AGENCIES TO IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM AND THE RENTAL CAR AGENCIES COLLECT THE FUNDS AND THEN REMIT THE FUNDS TO THE AIRPORT AND THOSE FUNDS WILL BE USED PROJECTS THAT WILL BENEFIT THE AIRPORT AND THE RENTAL CAR AGENCIES. SO THIS COULD BE IN OUR CASE IN PHASE TWO THE TERMINAL EXPANSION RENOVATION PROJECT THERE WILL BE NEW RENTAL CAR COUNTERS, DESKS SORT OF THING OUT IN THE PARKING LOT. THERE'LL BE PARKING IMPROVEMENTS THEN POTENTIALLY IN THE FUTURE YOU KNOW SOMETHING LIKE A CONSOLIDATED QUICK TURN FACILITY WHERE THEY TURN THE CARS OVER FOR THE NEXT RENTERS.

SO THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS ARE WHAT WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FOR THESE YES I MEAN QUESTIONS I THESE IT'S A $6 CHARGE EACH TIME RIGHT. HOW MANY RENTALS DO THEY HAVE IN A MONTH ROUGHLY HOW MANY CAR RENTALS JUST I CAN TELL YOU THAT DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS BETWEEN THE RENTAL CAR AGENCIES THEY'RE MAKING OVER A MILLION BUCKS A MONTH IN GROSS REVENUE . I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT TRANSLATES INTO THEIR TRANSACTION VALUE INTERNAL DATA THAT WE'LL GET AS PART OF THIS PROCESS.

SO I DON'T HAVE A GOOD ANSWER FOR YOU RIGHT NOW. IT'S A LOT DURING THE SUMMER SEASON I WILL SAY THAT FROM THE AIRPORT STANDPOINT AS A REVENUE LINE ITEM THAT'S ONE OF OUR TOP REVENUE LINE ITEMS JUST BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S A DESTINATION AIRPORT.

SO A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TRAVELERS DO RENT CARS. I WAS JUST WONDERING BECAUSE YOU'RE SAYING GOING TO FUND OTHER THINGS WELL, IT'S $6 A CAR UNLESS THEY'RE RENTING GIANT OF CARS TAKES A LONG TIME TO MOUNT UP $6 PER CAR. WELL, IT'S IT IS $6 PER TRANSACTION DAY PER TRANSACTION. SO IF RENT A CAR FOR FIVE DAYS IT'S 30 ADDITIONAL DOLLARS. OH IT'S FOUR PER DAY PER TRANSACTION DAY.

YES. AND THAT'S HOW THEY'RE ALL DO 250 CARS A WEEK DURING THE SUMMER. SEVEN DAYS TRAVEL EASILY. YEAH, TEN DAYS IN A WEEK SO $40,000 A MONTH AT LEAST FOUR MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR THAT WE'RE THAT BUSY THAT'S 40,000 OVER THE YEAR EASILY TURN TO 150 K AND WE'LL DO THIS THIS IS JUST GETTING THE PROCESS STARTED SO WILL ENGAGE WITH OUR FINANCIAL CONSULTANT AND THE RENTAL CAR AGENCIES DO THIS FREQUENTLY SO WE'LL ALL PUT OUR NOTES TOGETHER AND WORKSHOP THIS AND COME UP WITH PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS PROJECT LIST TO FUND BUT THIS GETS US STARTED SO THAT WE CAN GET GET THIS UNDERWAY THANK YOU ALL RIGHT ANY OBJECTION AND I SEE NO OBJECTION THIS WILL BE APPROVED THANK WITH THAT UNLESS ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY FURTHER BUSINESS I WILL CONCLUDE THIS
