LOT OF LIVES. YES. >> OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS ON THE PAGE POINT CEMETERY WHICH WILL BE DONE BY GENERAL MITCHELL AND LIZ FERRELL WHO IS

OUR BEAUFORT COUNTY P.I. O EVERYONE IS GENERAL MITCHELL. >> YES, DALE MITCHELL IS HERE.

GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M GONNA SHARE MY SCREEN FOR YOU NOW.

THANK YOU. ARE WE SEEING IT? WE'RE NOT SEEING IT.

OUR WAY YET. THERE WE GO. OK.

OK, GOOD. I CAN SEE THAT. WELL, GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

LET'S GO BACK TO THE FIRST SLIDE. THERE YOU GO.

OK, GREAT. GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE. MR. CHAIRMAN, COUNCIL MEMBERS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT THIS EVENING AT THIS KIND OF COUNCIL MEETING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE. THE POINT HISTORIC CEMETERY AND ALL THAT'S HAPPENED WITH IT IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS SINCE THIS DISCOVERY OF DESECRATION AND THE FALL OF 2016.

NEXT SLIDE DATAPOINTS CEMETERY IS LOCATED ADDRESS WISE AT 669 PAGE BY BOAT NOT AND B IF THE COUNTY AND THE AREA KNOWN AS PAGE POINT AND SHELDON TOWNSHIP AS YOU CAN SEE IT'S NORTH OF TOWN AND SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL DISCOVER WHEN YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO OUT.

WHILE IT SEEMS A BIT FAR. IT'S NOT AS FAR AS THE CROW FLIES AS IT MAY SEEM AS ALL TURNS LEAVING BEFORE BUT GOING TO THAT PAGE POINT CEMETERY LEFT TURNS AS YOU GO ACROSS THE WILLOW BRANCH RIVER. IF YOU WERE TO LOOK LEFT HEADING NORTH YOU'LL SEE THE PAGE POINT LANDING AND THAT CEMETERY IS ONLY ABOUT A HALF MILE FROM THE BASE POINT LANDING WHICH IS VISIBLE FROM THE WHALE BRANCH WHERE IT'S LOCATED HUSKY CREEK.

>> AS THEY GO ACROSS THE BRANCH BRIDGE. NEXT SLIDE PIECE BY CEMETERY SITS ON APPROXIMATELY ONE POINT TWO ACRES. IT'S AN EASEMENT ON LAND THAT WAS ONCE PART OF PAYS POINT PLANTATION UNTIL THE CIVIL WAR ENDED.

ITS LOCATION ON THE HOSPITAL CREEK REFLECTS THE BELIEF HELD BY ENSLAVED PERSONS THAT ON DEATH THEIR SOULS WOULD BE FREE AND RETURN TO AFRICA ACROSS THE WATERS FROM WHICH THEY CAME.

NEXT TIME SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE DISCOVERY OF THE DESECRATION WHAT WAS DONE TO

PRESERVE THE CEMETERY. >> ALL THAT WAS DONE. THE FINAL ENDING.

THE HEART. THE HEADSTONES. THAT WAS PLACED IN THE CEMETERY TO RESTORE IT TO A CEMETERY LIKE RESEMBLANCE AND WILL COME IN AT THE END AND TALK ABOUT WHAT WE PLAN IN THE WAY OF REDEDICATION CEREMONY THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

NEXT TIME SO IN THE FOLLOW 2016 WHILE MY WIFE AND I WERE AROUND WE USUALLY STROLL AROUND PAGE

POINT. >> WE CAME UPON THE DESECRATION H POINT CEMETERY DISMAYED DISHEARTENED. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS WHO DO I CALL? AND THAT PERSON WAS NONE OTHER THAN MY COUNCILMAN JOE DAWSON THE SHELDON TOWNSHIP DISTRICT.

HE MERELY SCOUT SKEDADDLE DUDE ALONE DOWN THAT VERY EVENING WE WALKED THE GROUNDS.

SAW THE DEAD , THE DEVASTATION THAT IT TOOK PLACE. OBSERVE THE MISSING HEADSTONES AND THOUGHT HEY, WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? WHAT DO WE DID?

[00:15:03]

LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY COUNCILMAN DOSS AND I WERE IN OTTAWA.

ADMINISTRATOR KUBIK AND WE THANK HIM VERY MUCH FOR ALL HE'S DONE.

THE LEADERSHIP PUTTING AND GETTING HIS STAFF TOGETHER FOR MEETINGS IN THE CHAMBERS AT THE ICONIC BUILDING AND ALSO HIS VISIT TO THE CEMETERY ALONG WITH SOME STAFF MEMBERS.

AND EVEN A VISIT TO MEET WITH COMMUNITY PERSONS IN THE HOME OF ONE OF THE RELATIVES OF DECEASED PERSONS AT THE CEMETERY. EXCELLENT.

SO THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF WHAT THE CEMETERY GROUNDS LOOK LIKE BEFORE IT WAS DESICCATED

IN THE FALL OF 2016. >> YOU CAN SEE IT'S VERY HEAVILY FORESTED.

THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL. A TYPICAL FOR MANY OF THE HISTORICAL AFRICAN-AMERICAN CEMETERIES. IN THE AREA IN THE LOW COUNTRY WHERE AS WHEN BLACK CHURCHES MIGRATED TO MOVING AND BURYING THEIR DEAD AND CHURCH YARDS, MANY OF THE CEMETERIES BECAME UNCAPPED AND GROWING UP. NONETHELESS, THEY REMAIN UNDISTURBED ALSO.

AND THIS AERIAL VIEW REFLECTS THAT ORIENTATION PURPOSES TO YOUR RIGHT.

THE ROAD WE SEE PAGE POINT ROAD IT BASICALLY RUNS NORTH SOUTH. THE CEMETERY WITH THE WEST BEING CLOSEST TO THE ROAD THE EAST END YOU CAN SEE THE MARSH AREA OF THE HOUSE FOR RIVER TO THE EXTREME LEFT OR TO THE EAST. AND OF COURSE NORTH SOUTH ON

YOUR LEFT AND YOU'RE RIGHT NEXT LINE. >> SO THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE AFTER THE CEMETERY WAS DESECRATED AND MANY, MANY TREES INCLUDING SPECIMEN TREES WERE REMOVED FROM THAT CEMETERY. AND OUR NEXT SLIDE WILL SEE THAT NOT ONLY WHERE THE TREE IS REMOVED BUT ALSO ALL THE HEADSTONES WERE REMOVED ALL BUT TWO WHICH WILL LOOK AT THE LATER AND I THINK THOSE WERE PRIVATE LEFT JUST BECAUSE SOMEHOW THEY ESCAPED. THEY DIDN'T MOVE BUT THEY WERE NOT TOUCHED BY THE HEAVY EQUIPMENT. ONE OF THOSE HEADSTONES WE FOUND LYING FLAT ON THE GROUND AND ONE WAS STANDING UP NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS WAS ALSO TAKEN BY A DRONE. BUT FROM AN ANGLE THAT SHOWS MORE OF A CLOSER VIEW TO THE GROUND AND YOU CAN SEE THE TREES THAT WERE LEFT AND ON THE GROUND THERE WERE JUST MOUNDS AND MOUNDS OF WOOD CHIPS THAT WERE LEFT BY THE BUSH HOGGING EQUIPMENT.

AND IF WE THINK BACK TO WHEN MANY OF THESE HEADSTONES WERE LIKELY PLACED IN THE CEMETERY AND THE POOR QUALITY OF THE CEMENT THAT WAS USED TO THEM, THE STRENGTH AND THE POWER MUCH OF THAT BUSH HOGGING WILL PROBABLY PULVERIZE THEM WITHOUT THE OPERATIVE EVEN KNOWING THEY WERE THERE. NEXT SLIDE SO THE CEMETERY WAS DESECRATED.

SO WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? MUCH WAS DISCUSSED IN MEETINGS AND THE KIND OF ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE MALE RELATIVES OF DECEASED PERSON KNOWN TO BE BURIED IN THE CEMETERY COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF THE FORCE. COUNCILMAN AND THEN STAFF AT THE COUNTY LEVEL.

SO AND IN MAY OF 2017 THE REAL AND CRITICAL LANDS PRESERVATION PROGRAM PURCHASED THE PROPERTY AND ON BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY AND ALL THE RELEVANT RELATIVES OF THOSE DECEASED IN THE CEMETERY. I THANK THE RULE IN THE LAND PRESERVATION PROGRAM IMMENSELY FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION IN SEPTEMBER THE COUNTY COMMISSION A GEOPHYSICAL STUDY THAT WAS DONE BY THE BROCKTON BY BRAC UNTIL ASSOCIATE LED BY A MORE ARCHAEOLOGIST.

AND ALSO OUR STATE ARCHAEOLOGIST AT THE TIME, DR. JONATHAN LEADER FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. OH, AND BY THE WAY, I PROVIDED JUST A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT LABEL LATE LABOR HELPING TO POSITION EQUIPMENT AND CUT THE WEEDS BACK SO THAT THEY COULD CONDUCT THE SURVEY. NEXT SLIDE THE GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY REPORT IS AVAILABLE.

THAT REPORT IS THE PROPERTY OF THE COUNTY NOW ITS ARCHIVE AT THE COUNTY FOR THOSE OF YOU.

YOU CAN CLICK ON THE HERE LINK ON THIS SLIDE AND IT WILL LEAD YOU DIRECTLY TO THAT

[00:20:06]

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY NEXT SLIDE. >> SO THE RESULTS OF THAT GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY BE ON OVER 120 GRAVE SITES LOCATED WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE LINES WE SEE ON THE SLIDE.

>> THE SAD THING THAT WE'LL WE'LL GET TO FURTHER THE BRIEFING IS THAT WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO CONFIRM 15 OF THOSE ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE PERSONS THAT ARE BURIED IN THE CEMETERY THE GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY CONDUCTED USE IT TO CONDUCT USING GROUND PENETRATING RADAR HAS THE GEO PHYSICAL POSITION OF EACH OF THOSE GRAVE SITES THERE.

>> THEY ARE CONVINCED THAT THERE IS A A BODY IN THAT SPOT .

THE SAD THING AND WHAT THE REAL DEFINITION OF DESECRATION MEANS IS THAT EXCEPT FOR THOSE 15 PERSONS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM BURIED IN THIS FREIGHT YARD, THOSE PERSONS OF LAW ARE LOST TO HISTORY AND I LEARN IN MY CONVERSATIONS WITH GENEALOGY WITH THE GENEALOGY YES, THAT GRAVEYARD WENT WHEN CONDUCTING JEDI ALLOWS GENEALOGICAL STUDIES.

THE GRAVE SITE IS THE FIRST PLACE THAT IS VISITED AND FROM THERE THE RESEARCH BRANCH IS

OUT BACKSIDE. >> SO AS A PART OF PROTECTING THE CEMETERY IT'S PHYSICALLY PROTECTED AND AGAIN WE THANK THE COUNTY FOR THEIR GENEROSITY THAT THE CEMETERY WAS PHYSICALLY PROTECTED BY ERECTING THIS FENCE IN THE SUMMER OF TWENTY EIGHTEEN IT'S IT'S PROTECTED BY THE FENCE ON ALL THREE SIDES ONLY THE EAST SIDE WHICH ABUTS TO THE MARCH OF THE US FOREVER IS NOT FENCED NEXT ON WELL CEMETERY WAS DISCOVERED DESICCATED.

>> WE'VE DONE THINGS TO PROTECT IT FROM FURTHER DAMAGE AND NOW BEFORE WE BEGAN THE RESTORATION PROCESS IT WAS PRETTY MUCH A BEAUTIFULLY FENCE PLACE. IT DIDN'T LOOK VERY MUCH LIKE A CEMETERY. SO MUCH CONVERSATION TOOK PLACE TO TRY TO RESTORE THE CEMETERY TO A RESEMBLANCE OF WHAT IT IS. SO ON APRIL 1ST 2019 A PRESENTATION WAS MADE THAT AT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ON THAT DAY WHERE FUNDS WERE APPROVED TWO TO TO PROVIDE MONEY TO PURCHASE HEADSTONES AND MONUMENTS TO TELL THE HISTORY OF THE CEMETERY.

AND WE'LL SEE OF COURSE THE COSMO ANDERSON WAS OUT FRONT AND COORDINATING MY PRESENTATION BEFORE THE FINE COMMITTEE AT THE TIME AND ADMINISTRATOR ADMINISTRATOR JOHN WEAVER, ASSISTANT GREATLY AND EXPLAINING HOW WE MAY GO ABOUT THE PRESENTATION AND

ASKING FOR THE FUNDS. >> OH, BY THE WAY, OUR CURRENT COUNCIL CHAIRMAN MR. JOEL PASSING THE CHAIR THAT MEETING NEXT LIKE THE FIRST THING WE THOUGHT WE NEEDED TO DO WAS TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHO THE PERSON IS ACTUALLY INTERRED AT THE CEMETERY A GENEALOGICAL STUDY WAS COMMISSION LED BY GENEALOGISTS MISS KIMBERLY MORGAN WOODSIDE.

IT'S THERE A SHOT OUT. YOU REALLY DID A SUPERB JOB AND WORKING WITH TO LEARN AS MUCH ABOUT THE CEMETERY. SHE ALSO GUIDED STRAIGHT ON WHAT WE COULD NOT AND COULD NOT DO IN TERMS OF PUTTING THINGS ETCHING NAMES ON HEADSTONES. WE COULD NOT CONFIRM THEY WERE THERE. NOW WE WE KNOW THE FROM THE GEOPHYSICAL STUDY THAT THERE OVER A HUNDRED AND TWENTY PERSONS INTERRED THERE CHALLENGES.

HOW DID THE WEAVE HOW DO WE FIND OUT WHO THOSE 120 PERSONS WERE? SHE WORK WITH OUR BRACKETING TENANT AND ASSOCIATES AGAIN MISS NO MORE ARCHAEOLOGY.

AND CAROL POPHAM WHO HEADS UP HISTORICAL WORKS LIKE H.W. NEXT LINE THAT GENEALOGICAL STUDY IS

ALSO THE PROPERTY OF THE COUNTY. >> IT'S A IT WILL BE AVAILABLE

[00:25:02]

LET THE BRACKET ASSOCIATES WHO PROVIDE CONSULTATION FEES ON HOW TO PROCEED AND BEST AT MAKING THE BEST MOST PRACTICAL PRESENTATION WITH A LIMITED FUNDS AVAILABLE ALSO OUT OF THE SEVEN THOUSAND WAS PAID THE COST OF THE GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH FIVE THOUSAND WAS PAID FOR THE HISTORICAL MARKER WHICH WAS THE LARGE SIGN OR THE TALL SIGN.

I SHOULD SAY THAT WE SAW THE VERY FIRST SLIDE. WE'LL SEE SOME OF THAT GOING FORWARD AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE TAX THAT WAS PLACED INSCRIBED ON BOTH THE FRONT AND THE BACK OF THAT LINE THE HARDWARE IF YOU WILL OF THE ACTUAL HEADSTONES HISTORICAL MARKER AND LARGE MONUMENT. THE COST FOR THAT WAS THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.

WE WORK CLOSELY WITH STATELY MONUMENTS. I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT AND STEVE AS MONUMENTS OF WALTER BARR. THEY'RE RIGHT THERE ADVISING US AND AND RESPONDING TO US IN EVERY WAY. I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED MORE WE COULD NOT HAVE ASKED MORE. NEXT SLIDE SO ON THE HISTORICAL MARKER.

YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT MARKER ON THE LEFT PORTION OF THE VISUAL.

THE WORDS ARE INSCRIBED UNION VICTORY AT BELL AT THE BATTLE OF PORT ROYAL EFFECTIVELY ENDED SLAVERY MOST OF IT THE COUNTY I EVER AREAS BEHIND CONFEDERATE LINES NORTH OF THE WHALE GRASS RIVER INCLUDING PAGE POINTE REMAINED ENSLAVED TO MY BROTHER COUNCILMAN GLOVER.

I USED TO TELL MY WIFE IT'S JUST A SIDE BAR. I USED TO TELL MY WIFE THAT I THAT WE HERE IN DUPONT WERE FREE MUCH EARLIER AND WE'VE BEEN FREED LONGER THAN THAT.

HER FOLKS WHO GREW UP MCCORMICK SOUTH CAROLINA AND ONLY AFTER THE RESEARCH THAT WAS DONE BY THIS KIMBERLY MORGAN I REALIZED THAT MY FOLKS WHO ARE NORTH OF THE WHALE RIVER WERE NOT FREED UNTIL THE END OF THE CIVIL WAR. SO I GUESS I DIDN'T HAVE I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE FREEDOM

THAN MY WIFE. NEXT SLIDE. >> ALSO THE HISTORICAL MARKER OTHER WORDS THE DESECRATION OF THE CEMETERY WAS DISCOVERED IN NOVEMBER 2016.

IT LIKELY OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS. IT WAS UNCONSCIONABLE ACT VIOLATING THE FINAL RESTING PLACE OF OUR LOVED ANCESTORS. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE ARE TWO HEADSTONES THAT WERE NOT DESTROYED. THOSE HEADSTONES THAT MISS HENRY SQUIBB WAS BORN IN 1855. SO FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR BEGAN AND DIED IN 1888 AT THE YOUNG 33. AND MANY WILLIAMS WAS BORN IN 1890 AND DIED IN 1914 AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 24. NEXT SLIDE. SO THE SANKOFA BIRD THE SACK OF BIRD REMINDS US THAT WE MUST CONTINUE TO MOVE OR AS WE REMEMBER OUR PAST.

AND AT THE SAME TIME WE PLANT SEEDS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS THAT COME AFTER US.

WAIT, WAIT. WE DID A LOT OF RESEARCH IS CONCERNED BOSTON TEST TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD BE A MIND AND THAT THAT WOULD BE REPRESENTATIVE OF WHAT HAPPENED AT THE CEMETERY. AND WHILE HISTORY IS THE SIMPLE DEFINITION, HISTORY IS THAT WHICH HAS HAPPENED WHILE WE ARE WELL IT'S BEEN VERY UNFORTUNATE I SHOULD SAY THAT PERSONS WOULD CHOOSE TO THIS TO DISTURB THEIR FINAL RESTING PLACE OF THE DECEASED.

WE CANNOT UNDO THAT. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE REMEMBER THAT IN HOPES THAT WE LEARN FROM IT AND OTHERS MIGHT MAKE THAT IT NOT BE REPEATED AND THE SANKOFA BIRD WHICH IS A SYMBOL THAT EMANATED FROM GHANA SIMPLY SAY IS HEY, WE HAVE TO GO FORWARD, WE HAVE TO GO FORWARD. TIME MARCHES ON. BUT WE CAN GO BACK AND TRY TO RECAPTURE IT. TRY TO CAPTURE AND REMEMBER AS MUCH OF OUR HISTORY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THOSE WHO COME AFTER THIS NEXT LINE. SO WE THIS AT THE BACK SIDE I

[00:30:01]

WE WANT IT TO USE AS MUCH OF THE SURFACE OF THESE MIND EVENTS AS WE CARE TO CAPTURE THE HISTORY OF THE CEMETERY. AND THESE WORDS ARE INSPIRED ON THE BACKSIDE IF YOU WILL, AT THE MONUMENT. THIS MONUMENT IS DEDICATED TO OUR BELOVED ANCESTORS ANCESTORS BURIED AT PAGE POINT CEMETERY ALTHOUGH THE STONES THAT MARKED THEIR GRAVES WERE REMOVED IN AN ACT OF DESECRATION. THEY ARE REMEMBERED IN OUR HEARTS.

NEXT SLIDE. >> WELL, I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WE WE COULD ONLY PUT ON HEADSTONES THAT WHICH WE COULD DOCUMENT. SO WHAT WE DID.

THERE ARE 15 NEW GRAVESTONES THAT THAT HAVE NAMES. SOME HAVE BIRTHDAYS AND DEATH DATES. SOME ONLY HAVE DEATH DATES BECAUSE AS AS AS IT WAS IN UNTIL WE SAID THAT THAT BIRTHDAYS AND DEATH DAYS FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS WERE ACTUALLY DOCUMENTED SO MANY GRAVESTONES IN THE CEMETERY, THE 15 THAT 15 REPRESENTS PERSONS THAT THROUGH THE GENEALOGY GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH WE WE'RE ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THEY ARE AMONG THAT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE PERSONS IN THE CEMETERY NEXT LIKE.

>> SO THIS I THINK A AN EXCELLENT THE PICTURE THAT THE HEADSTONES THE GRAVESTONES THAT ARE PLACED IN THE CEMETERY. THERE ARE THREE ROWS OF FIVE OR THE 15 AND IF WE COULD GO TO THE NEXT FIVE WE ALSO HAVE FOUR BLACK HEADSTONES AND IN MY MIND THOSE BLANK HEADSTONES WITH NOTHING ON THEM TELLS A VERY STRONG STORY BECAUSE THOSE FOUR BLANK HEADSTONES REALLY IN A VERY GRAPHIC WAY IS WHAT DESECRATION IS ALL ABOUT. SO WE WANTED TO HAVE A REPRESENTATION OF THOSE PERSONS WHOSE NAMES ARE LOST IN HISTORY WHATEVER FOREVER.

SO WE DECIDED TO PUT THE FOUR BLANK HEADSTONES THERE FOR TWO PURPOSES.

ONE, IF IN THE FUTURE A RELATIVE OR SOMEONE THROUGH WHATEVER MEANS TECHNOLOGY DISCOVERY AND LUCK DISCOVERY THAT THEY CAN THEY HAVE A RELATIVE AND THAT HITS THAT GRAVE YARD AND THEY CAN DOCUMENT THAT THEY HAVE A SURFACE FOR WHICH THEY CAN PUT THAT PERSON'S NAME BIRTHDATE, DEATH DATE, WHATEVER ELSE THEY WISH TO PUT.

SO THEY HAVE A SURFACE THERE ARE READY TO DO THAT. AND EQUALLY IMPORTANT THOSE HEADSTONES REPRESENTS ALL OF THOSE OTHER MORE THAN 15 PERSONS UP TO THAT TWENTY THREE LEVEL OF THOSE PERSONS WHO WHOSE NAMES WE WILL NEVER KNOW THEY'RE GONE.

THEY'RE GONE FOREVER BECAUSE SOMEONE CHOSE FOR WHATEVER REASONS TO REMOVE THEIR HEADSTONES SO THAT THEY COULD USE THAT PROPERTY FOR REASONS THAT IT WAS NOT INTENDED.

NEXT THAT AND HERE'S A CLOSE UP OF THOSE STONES AND THERE'S TWO OF THEM THEREFORE THAT'S THE

CLOSE UP OF THE TWO OF THEM. >> NEXT LINE I MENTIONED EARLIER MOST INNOVATIVE AND YET IS GIVEN HE WAS BORN IN EIGHTEEN FIFTY FIVE THIS IS HER HEADSTONE AS WE DISCOVERED

LYING IN THE GROUND AND THAT ARE ALMOST COVERED BY LEAVES. >> WE DID THAT HEADSTONE.

I THINK WE HAVE A PICTURE THAT SLIDE LATER PRESENTATION. NEXT NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

THE OTHER YOUNG LADY. >> THIS IS THE ONLY HEADSTONE THAT REMAINS STANDING WHEN THE CEMETERY WAS DISCOVERED. DISCOVERED DESECRATING IN 2016 .

NEXT TIME. >> SO AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF CEMETERIES THAT ARE IN IT OR IN A SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCE AS ONE CEMETERY IS SOMEWHAT UNCAPPED LEFT TO A SLOW STATE OF DETERIORATION BECAUSE OF A LACK OF MAINTENANCE.

[00:35:06]

I'M ALWAYS TALKING TO MR. ANDERSON AND HE'S GIVING ME UPDATES WHEN HE GOES OUT TO MAINTAIN THE CEMETERY. AND IT IS THE GROUNDS A BEAUTIFUL SO I ESPECIALLY THANK THOSE TWO GENTLEMEN. NEXT. SO SO HERE WE ARE.

YOU KNOW, WE WE DISCOVERED A DESK CREATED WE PROTECTED IT. WE TRIED TO RESTORE IT.

AND NOW WE NEED TO PUT A BOW ON IT, IF YOU WILL. AND OUR GOAL IS THAT ON THE 24TH OF SEPTEMBER WE WILL WE'LL DO JUST THAT WITH THE HELP OF MISS ELIZABETH FOR ALL OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER. SHE'S WORKING HARD TO HELP US PUT TOGETHER A PROGRAM WHERE WE HOPEFULLY ALL OF YOU KNOW, AS MANY GUESTS AS YOU CAN TELL ABOUT THIS WHO ARE AVAILABLE WILL COME OUT AND HELP US TO DO TO RESTORE THE CEMETERY WE DEDICATED TO SOMEHOW MAKE IT AS WHOLE AS WE POSSIBLY CAN. SO I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO TO MISS FARRELL NOW WHETHER SHE HAS ANYTHING TO ADD TO ANYTHING I'VE SAID THAT MR. EVERYTHING I THINK I WOULD ADD AT THIS POINT IS JUST THAT WE ARE FILMING A DOCUMENTARY TO GO ALONG WITH THIS COUNTY CHANNELS THAT STAFF IS WORKING ON THAT AND THEN WE ARE WORKING ON A FEATURE STORY WHICH FEATURED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEDICATION CEREMONY. OK, WELL GREAT. THANK YOU, MA'AM.

MAYBE WE'LL CLOSE OUT WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL PICTURE THAT WE SHOWED IT VERY AGAIN.

>> SURE. SO THAT'S THE WAY IT LOOKS NOW. THE GROUNDS ARE BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S BEING KEPT BEAUTIFULLY. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY AGAIN TO THE COUNTY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PRESENT CHAIRMAN MEMBERS, PAST CHAIRMEN AND MEMBERS, ANYONE WHO TOUCHED ALL THAT WAS DONE TO RIGHT OR WRONG ON THE CEMETERY ON BEHALF OF THE SHELDON TOWNSHIP, THE RELATIVES OF THOSE WHO ARE INTERRED AT THIS CEMETERY.

GLOVER MAKES THE SECOND AWESOME.

DOING THAT. >> IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION I WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS WITHOUT

>> THE CHAIRMAN MOTION BY GERALD SECOND. SECOND MR. COVERED.

>> IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION SEEING NO DISCUSSION OUR LEVEL? >> MR. CHAIRMAN.

I'M SORRY, STU. >> GO AHEAD. YEAH, I WILL VOTE AGAINST THIS.

>> I WON'T BELABOR WHAT I SAID EARLIER BUT OBVIOUSLY WE HAD SOME COMMENTS COME BACK FROM THE HOMEBUILDERS GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE LEVEL OF FEES THAT GOVERNMENTS IMPOSE AS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS AND IT GETS TO A POINT WHERE IT STARTS TO STILL CHOKE CONSTRUCTION. MY CONCERNS ARE THESE ONE IS IT SEEMS TO ME WE'RE DOUBLE CHARGING PEOPLE THE SENSE IF SOMEBODY'S NEWS COMING IN THEY'RE BUILDING A HOME,

[00:50:07]

WE JUST DID ONE. THE NUMBERS ARE SO BIG THAT THE AMOUNT THAT WE WOULD GET FROM THIS IS RATHER SMALL. AND I THINK THE BEST THING TO DO IS FOR THE SECOND PUT IT ON A FLIGHT TO DALLAS SMOOT YOURSELF. OH, I AM SO SORRY.

>> YEAH, I WOULD JUST SAY I BELIEVE THAT THE REFERENDUM PROCESS IS REALLY THE BEST WAY BECAUSE THAT WAY THE SCHOOL BOARD CAN GO TO THE VOTERS AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE NEED THIS WORK I SPEND IT ON HERE'S WHERE IT'S GOING TO BE. AND LASTLY I WOULD SAY THAT WE'RE VERY, VERY INTERESTED IN ATTAINABLE HOUSING. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THIS KIND OF A FEE ON TOP OF THAT TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION FOR THAT WE WANT FOR ATTAINABLE HOMES.

I THINK IT MAKES JUST THAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO TAKE ON THAT OBJECTIVE.

SO I'LL VOTE AGAINST IT FOR THOSE REASONS. OK, ANY OTHER COMMENTS? YES, MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE RETURNED YES AFTER COMPUTER DIFFICULTIES.

I HOPE BOB, MY VOTE WAS NOT COUNTED DOWN ANY PREVIOUS MATTER SINCE THE END OF GENERAL MITCHELL'S PRESENTATION REGARDING THE SCHOOL IMPACT YOU LIKE TO I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE THE IMPACT OF A OR AT LEAST THE PERCEPTION OF DOUBLE TAXATION.

WE HAVE VOTED FOR A REFERENDUM CONSISTENTLY WHEN IT'S BEEN DEMONSTRATED NEED AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE ANY COUNTY ISSUES AS LONG AS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAYS EVERYTHING STRAIGHT WITH THE VOTERS. AND SO I'M GOING TO VOTE AGAINST THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OK.

BECAUSE WE WE KNOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AT LEAST TWO NO VOTES.

I WILL CALL THE QUESTION AND WE WILL VOTE WORTH 1 TO VOTE WILL BE JERROLD.

BUT I WAS COMING TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT OK. I'M MOVING ON TO ITEM NUMBER 15

[15. CONSENT AGENDA (SEE PAGE 3)]

[18. PUBLIC HEARING AND SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A BEAUFORT COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT SERVICE CHARGE AND UNIFORM USER FEE]

>> MAY I HAVE A MOTION LIVE SO I'LL SECOND MR. CHAIRMAN. >> MR. KOVAC MADE THE MOTION AND MR. FLOWING MADE THE SECOND DISCUSSION. MR. CHAIRMAN, GO REDHEADS TO

YEAH. >> MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME A BIT HERE.

I BELIEVE WE ALSO HAVE A PROPOSAL FROM THE TOWN THAT THEY HAVE PASSED WHICH WOULD BE FOR THEM TO TAKE OVER THE ROADS. THE REMAINING RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES THAT THEY WOULD PAY US 2 MILLION INSTEAD OF WHATEVER IT WAS THE THREE AND A HALF THAT WE WERE GETTING FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. SO IS THAT STILL AN ONGOING NEGOTIATION OR IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO TAKE UP BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME WE DO

ONE OR THE OTHER AND WE'RE AT THAT POINT. >> THAT IS A PROPOSAL FROM HILTON HEAD ISLAND. THEY DELINEATED BY COSTS A TWO MILLION DOLLAR LUMP SUM PAYMENT AND THEN TO TAKE OVER THE PARKS ,TO TAKE OVER THE ROADS AND TO HAVE A FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CONVENIENT THING. SO THE QUESTION IS IS THIS ACCEPTABLE THE COUNTY COUNCIL IN LIEU OF A UNIFORM SERVICE FEE FOR THIS YEAR? THIS WE ABSOLUTELY KNOW WHAT A UNIFORMED SERVICE FEE FOR. HAS BEEN DETAILED. THAT THE TRUE COST OF SERVICES

[01:00:06]

YOUR THREE YEAR. >> I'M SORRY SAY AGAIN WASN'T. WASN'T THAT UNLIMITED OFFER IN THAT IT WOULD TO MAKE OUR PAYMENT WOULD ONLY BE FOR TWO YEARS.

IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING AND I'M TRYING TO FIND IT AS WE SPEAK THAT IT IS A TWO MILLION DOLLAR PAYMENT WITH AN ESCALATOR CLAUSE TO THE CHAIR OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS AND THEN TO

RENEW IT AT THE END OF THAT TIME. >> THAT'S THE CHAIRMAN.

MR. CHAIRMAN. YES, GO AHEAD, LARRY. >> I BELIEVE THAT THE NUMBERS WILL SHOW THAT WE ARE FAST APPROACHING THREE TO FOUR MILLION DOLLARS IN KIND OF A BORDERED A FAIR TRADE DEAL. I ALSO WANT TO INDICATE THAT THE TOWN HAS AGREED TO NOT CHARGE THE SHERIFF RENT OR THE COMMAND CENTER WHICH COST BETWEEN 60 AND 70 THOUSAND DOLLARS NEAR THE TOWN OF PAYING FIFTY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR TO OFFICERS.

>> DEPUTY SHERIFFS AS A STIPEND THE OVERTIME FOR THE HERITAGE GOLF TOURNAMENT.

ANOTHER 20000 AND BAR PATROL DETAILS UP TO SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.

ADDITIONALLY, THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER A PAYMENT TO THE ISLAND REC CENTER WHICH IN PAST YEARS HAS COST THE COUNTY TWO HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.

THIS YEAR WE REDUCED THAT BY 50 PERCENT TO ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

WAS PROBABLY RIGHT THERE AT LEAST ANOTHER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.

WHO BENEFITS THAT WE WILL ACCRUE BASED UPON THE TOWN'S AGREEMENT TO ABSORB THOSE COSTS IN ADDITION TO THE TWO MILLION DOLLARS AND THE PARKS MAINTENANCE AND THE ROAD MAINTENANCE WHICH I THINK PROBABLY IS CLOSE TO ANOTHER MILLION OR A MILLION AND A HALF. SO I THINK WE'RE FAST APPROACHING HERE FOR A MILLION DOLLAR TRANSACTION WITH THE GENERAL IMMEDIATE MR. SORRY I DIDN'T WANT TO DISTURB ANYBODY

IN THE BACKGROUND. >> GO AHEAD. MR. KOVAC, THIS IS A PUBLIC

HEARING AND SECOND READING. >> I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VIRGIN CLEAN THAT ANY POLICY IS CONSIDERED A COPY OF THE SECOND READING BY COVER.

>> I CAN'T MAKE OUT ANYTHING YOU SAY. CAN YOU HEAR ME? I CAN'T HEAR YOU NOW. YEAH. YEAH, I SAID THAT.

SO PUBLIC EVERY SECOND READING THESE OR THE E COMMENTS ARE DID NOT REACH OUT TO THE PUBLIC HERE. REID I'M SORRY YOU'RE BREAKING GET CAN ANYBODY ELSE HERE?

>> YEAH IF I CAN TRANSLATE. >> MR. CLIFFORD IS SAYING THAT THIS IS SPECIFIC TO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AND THAT THE NEGOTIATIONS THAT WE'RE HAVING ARE NOT GERMANE TO THIS PARTICULAR USER FEE. WHILE I DO UNDERSTAND IT WAS ON THE AGENDA THIS WAY SO I COULD HAVE A DISCUSSION WHETHER WE NEED TO DO PRO SPEED FORWARD WITH THE USER FEE OR DO WE WANT TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSAL FROM HILTON AND IRELAND AS A WAY OF BRINGING IN ANY FURTHER

DISCUSSIONS MOVING FORWARD ABOUT A USER FEE? >> SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE NOW.

WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE COULD IN FACT MOVE ON BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE MORE BITE AT THE APPLE BEFORE THE USER FEE IS IMPLEMENTED SO THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR WHAT HILTON HEAD ISLAND IS PROPOSING BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PART AND PARCEL OF THIS AND IT WAS NOT. AND THAT COULD BE MY FAULT FOR NOT HAVING THAT DELINEATE TO

YOU IF I MIGHT I OPINE AS CHAIRMAN. >> GO RIGHT AHEAD, BRYAN.

[01:05:02]

WE NEED TO VOTE NOW. WE NEED TO VOTE VERY SOON AND ALLOW THE AUDITOR AND THE TREASURER TO GET THOSE PROCESSES PLACED TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS MATTER.

AND I HAVE A QUESTION WAS THERE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS MATTER? I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON THIS MATTER. HAS ANYBODY ELSE AT YOUR.

>> THANKS. >> I'LL CALL. QUESTION MR. CHAIRMAN.

OK. ALL RIGHT. SO EVERY SUDDENLY NOBODY ELSE HAS SOMETHING THEY WANT TO ADD. YEAH. LISTEN, CHAIRMAN GO AHEAD, STUART. MAYBE MORE FOR BRIAN BUT I CAN INTERVENE MOTION BE MADE TO ACCEPT WHAT THE TOWN HAS OFFERED. YES, IT WOULD BUT IT WOULD BE A MOTION A MOTION TO DENY. BUT THERE THERE'S ALREADY A MOTION ON THE TABLE TO ACCEPT.

BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO WORD IT AS AN AMENDMENT WE'LL THEN THAT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE.

I'D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. THOSE I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE AMEND THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO ACCEPT THE OFFER FROM THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD WHICH IS IN LIEU OF THE UNIFORM BE A PAYMENT OF 3 MILLION FOR THE NEXT THREE YEARS OR NEXT THEY WILL TAKE OVER THE OVER ALL OF THE RECREATIONAL EXPENSES THEY WOULD TAKE OVER ALL OF THE LOCAL TAXES. SO IT CERTAINLY LEAVES OPEN THE DISCUSSION ON THE CONVENIENCE CENTER. SO I WILL MAKE THAT THAT MOST THAT MOTION IS NOT MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR MILLION DOLLAR I'M SORRY 2 MILLION TO PROBABLY JUST.

>> ARE YOU GOING TO ASK FOR A SECOND? YES, I'M FOR SECOND.

I SECOND THAT. OK, THANKS. SO WHEN WE LOOK I'M SORRY IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S INAPPROPRIATE FORMAT, MR. CHAIRMAN. YES, IT IS.

DOES EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND? IT WOULD BE A TWO MILLION DOLLAR PAYMENT PLUS THEY WOULD TAKE OVER ALL OF THE ROADS AT IN THE MAINTENANCE OF THOSE ROADS.

THEY WOULD TAKE OVER THE PARKS AND THE MAINTENANCE OF THE PARKS AND THERE ARE SOME OTHER ITEMS IN THERE SUCH AS THEY WOULD THEN PAY FOR THE SHERIFF'S TO GO OVER THOSE AGAIN. YES. ARE THERE GOING TO WAIVE THESE 60 TO 70 THOUSAND DOLLAR A YEAR RENT ON THE SHERIFF SPACE? PAYING 60 THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR IS A STIPEND TO THE DEPUTIES ASSIGNED TO TOWN. IF WE STAY THE OVERTIME AT THE HERITAGE GOLF TOURNAMENT TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE ST.

PATRICK'S DAY PARADE AND UP TO 75000 DOLLARS A YEAR FOR BAR PATROL.

ADDITIONALLY, IT'S TAKING ON THE COUNTY'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REC CENTER WHICH IN PAST YEARS HAS BEEN TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS DOING A SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET IT WAS REDUCED TO ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL BE NEXT YEAR BUT THAT'S PROBABLY ABOUT IT HALF A MILLION DOLLARS RIGHT THERE. IN ADDITION TO WHAT THEY'VE ALREADY AGREED TO AND THEY'VE ALSO AGREED TO THIS AS WELL THAT 2 MILLION DOLLARS HAS AN EXTRA ESCALATOR CLAUSE EACH YEAR BECAUSE THE CHAIRMAN BELIEVES THAT ESCALATOR CLAUSE MEANS THAT THERE WILL BE A CPI INCREASE IN EVERY YEAR THAT WE'VE BEEN GIVEN ALL THIS INFORMATION.

>> MR. CHAIRMAN, I BELIEVE IT WAS SENT OUT TO EVERYBODY AND YOU KNOW THAT THAT COULD BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS IT WAS SENT TO EVERYONE AS TO THEIR FULL DISCLOSURE WAS A LETTER.

>> I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE IT AND I DID SAY IT. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

GERRY MR. CHAIRMAN, YOUR HAND UP. >> YES.

WE'VE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THIS BEFORE AND I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE WE'RE GOING THROUGH IT AGAIN. THE ROLES THAT THEY'RE TALKING HILTON IS TALKING ABOUT TAKING OVER. WE HAD AN ATTORNEY GENERAL OPINION GIVEN TO US A YEAR AND A HALF MAYBE SO AGO THAT ROADS THAT THE ROADS THAT ARE IN THE MUNICIPALITIES MUNICIPALITY RESPONSIBILITY. SO FOR HILTON HEAD TO INCLUDE THE ROADS AND THIS IS A NONSTARTER TO START WITH. THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S OUT OF THE QUESTION.

[01:10:02]

>> WELL, THAT WOULD BE THIRD WORLD EXCEPT FOR IN PAST YEARS WE PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE ON THOSE AND THEY'RE PICKING UP THE MAINTENANCE GOING FORWARD WHICH IS GOING TO SAVE US QUITE

A BIT OF MONEY AND IDENTIFIED BY CHAIRMAN DENNIS. >> GO AHEAD.

TAKING OVER ROADS THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE PAYING FOR ANYWAY. LARRY, THAT'S THE POINT OF WHAT GERALD SAID. I GET THAT NOBODY HAS ANYTHING NEW.

MR. CHAIRMAN, IF YOU WOULD CALL A MOTION OVER THE AMENDMENT, I WOULD SPEAK ONCE MORE.

>> I'D LIKE THIS STEP STEP GOODS TO A COUPLE OF THINGS RELATIVE TO THE ROADS.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OPINION WAS CITED ABOUT THE TIME OF HURRICANE MATTHEWS AND MATTHEW AND I HAD A LOT TO DO WITH BEING ABLE TO RECOVER FROM FEMA.

NOW IF WE'RE GONNA GO DOWN THAT PATH, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF MONEY FROM HILTON THAT

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AND A LOT OF MONEY COMING FROM BLUFFTON. >> SO I GUESS IF WE'RE GOING TO IMPOSE THIS ON HEALTH NET GUYS, WE'RE GOING TO DO THE SAME THING WITH THE OTHER DISPARITIES. SECONDLY, I GUESS I WOULD SAY FROM WHAT LARRY SAID IT SEEMS TO ME THE NUMBERS WHETHER THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME THEY'RE WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE OF EACH OTHER. AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, IF YOU LOOK AT THE ROCKY IF YOU WERE TO TAKE THE AMOUNT THAT WE SPEND ON PANELS ON A PER CAPITA BASIS AND SPREAD THAT AN EQUAL AMOUNT TO HILTON HEAD BECAUSE MOST OF THEIR OWN REC ANYWAY THAT WOULD BE ABOUT ANOTHER MILLION DOLLARS IN ADDITION. BUT AS WE'VE TALKED IN THE PAST THEY DO A LOT OF THINGS ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS. THEY DON'T NECESSARILY DESERVE ANY CREDIT FROM THE COUNTY FOR DOING IT. BUT IT DOES SAVE US A LOT OF MONEY.

DO YOU THINK AMPLE BEING EARMARKED WHERE THEY'RE PAYING AS TAXPAYERS FREE M.S. THEY DO THEIR OWN AND CHARGE THEMSELVES THROUGH THEIR TAX THING SO THAT IF THE NUMBERS ARE RELATIVELY THE SAME IN TERMS OF HAVING AN ONGOING GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES, I DON'T SEE ANYTHING GETTING BY FORCING THIS THING THROUGH.

>> IF THE DOLLARS ARE REASONABLY CLOSE ENOUGH AND IF THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY WHERE WE WANT THEM I THINK WE COULD GO BACK AND NEGOTIATE IT. BUT I I REALLY DO THINK EXCITED FOR US TO BE STICKING OUR EYES OR ANY OF THE SECURITY TO CHAIRMAN CON MEN.

YOU RESTATED SO MUCH JUST OK. THE AMENDMENT IS THAT WE ACCEPT FROM THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD A SUM OF MONEY, TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR SHERIFF'S SERVICES THAT THEY WILL THEN TAKE OVER FOR FISCAL YEAR TWENTY ONE ALL OF THE ROADS THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY MAINTAINED BY BEAUFORT COUNTY. THEY WILL TAKE OVER OWNERSHIP AND MAINTENANCE OF ALL COUNTY OWNED PARKS THAT THEY WILL WAIVE THE RENT FOR THE SHERIFF'S FACILITIES ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND, THAT THEY WILL ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISLAND REC CENTER AND THAT THIS

IS GOING TO BE A THREE YEAR IMO . >> YOU WITH US WITH ADDITIONAL ESCALATOR CLAUSES EACH AND EVERY YEAR ON THE TWO MILLION DOLLARS FITZGERALD HAS TO COVER . QUESTION. SO WHAT HAPPENED IN YEAR OR WHAT GATES THAT IT WAS AFTER? CARY 3 NEGOTIATE THE CONTRACT CONTRACT IF I COULDN'T HEAR YOU IF I MIGHT. JEREMY YEAH, GO AHEAD. MICHAEL CAN YOU RESTATE YOUR I DON'T I SAY TO YOU AT THE END OF THREE YEARS WE WOULD RENEGOTIATE THE ENTIRE

AGREEMENT. >> ON WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO THE FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT WE ANY AND EVERY YEAR IT'S WHAT IT'S A LINE ITEM IN THE BUDGET FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE LAST I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS OR I THINK IT SAYS 9 1 1 SERVICE.

>> IS THAT STILL PART? OR WHAT IS THAT FOR? >> I BELIEVE THAT IS SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

>> I THINK SO. >> BUT CERTAINLY YOU KNOW THAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE

[01:15:05]

COULD TALK ABOUT IN THE FUTURE. >> IN I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THAT, MR. DAWSON THAT WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE ROAD THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SOME THEY SHOULD ALREADY BE GOING. YOU KNOW, WE STOPPED SHORT TWO YEARS AGO THREE YEARS AGO

RATHER OF DOING THIS WITH BLUFFTON. >> NOW THEY'RE THEY WANT TO THEY'RE JUST GOING TO ABSORB IT. I JUST DON'T SEE WHERE THE COUNTY IS COMING OUT OF IT IN ANY CHAIRMAN AND I CALL THE QUESTION ON THE AMENDMENT

PLACE. >> YES. OKAY.

EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND STANDS THE AMENDMENT THAT WAS DONE. >> OK.

THE QUESTION DID THE AMENDMENT WAS DONE BY CASH? WHO DID THE MANAGER STILL.

>> OK. STU MADE THE AMENDMENT OCEAN. AND LARRY YOU MEAN AT THE CENTER OF SOME MR. RODMAN YOU WILL GO FIRST AND YOU WILL GO FOR THE YES.

YES. MR. MCKELLEN, IT'S GOT YES. MR. COVERT COVERAGE.

NO THOUGH. >> MR. DAWSON. MR. HOLDER FLEW WHELMING FOR A LONG. NO, MR. GLOVER. NO MISS HOWARD.

>> NO MR. SOMERVILLE. NO. AND I WILL SAY YES.

BUT THE MOTION IS DEFEATED. ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX.

NO. THREE. YES.

SO WE ARE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL MOTION WHICH IS THE USER FEE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION BEFORE I

NORTH OF THE BROAD RIVER AND FOUR POINT FIVE MILLION IS NOWHERE NEAR EQUAL TO TWO POINT SIX MILLION DOLLARS. AND SO I'D REALLY YOU KNOW I'D LIKE TO HEAR AN HONEST OFFER OF AN AGREEMENT OR I WILL VOTE THIRD READING FOR THAT'S WHAT

>> THANK YOU. >> IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? >> DISTRICT MR. CHAIRMAN.

GO AHEAD. EDIT JUST AS BACKGROUND. THIS IS BOTH THE CHURCH AND THE TOWN IS PARTNER WITH THIS. I'VE ASKED THIS GO FORWARD. THIS IS NOT A TRUE FORMAL REQUEST BUT IT'S BASICALLY TO SEND THEM OUR PLANS AND THE BUDGET SO THEY CAN REACT TO IT.

THERE'S TWO PLACES WHERE THE REQUEST IS BIGGER THAN WHAT THE FDA MIGHT NORMALLY DO.

WE THINK THEY'LL BE RECEPTIVE TO CERTAINLY SOME OF THAT AND THAT THOSE TWO ITEMS HAVE TO DO WITH THE SIZE OF THE SANCTUARY BEING BIGGER THAN THE CURRENT ONE AND THE ADDITION OF A LARGER FELLOWSHIP HALL. AND SO THE CHURCH HAS AGREED TO PROVIDE A JUSTIFICATION TO GO ALONG WITH THE REQUEST. BUT I THINK THIS WILL MOVE THE PROCESS FORWARD WITH THE FAA AND WE CERTAINLY HOPE WE CAN BRING THIS TO FRUITION BEFORE TOO LONG.

>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. YES, GO AHEAD, MR. EDWARDS. I THINK THERE'S A LETTER DISTRIBUTED FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE ON HILTON HEAD REQUESTING SHOWING THAT THE TOWN HAD ALREADY APPROVED THIS AND WILL REQUESTING OUR APPROVAL FOR IT AS WELL.

OKAY DISCUSSION. DISCUSSION. MR. CHAIRMAN, THAT TRAGIC MISS ON INTEREST. I UNDERSTAND THAT. I UNDERSTAND.

SO RENEWABLE. BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH PAYING THIS MUCH MONEY.

MUCH MONEY FOR A PARKING LOT THAT WE'RE NOT USING THE BUILDING THIS TIME AND WE DON'T

KNOW WHEN WE WILL USE IT. SO I WILL VOTE NO ON THIS. >> CHAIRMAN GO AHEAD.

MR. MCCOLLUM. THERE IS THERE ANY. IS THERE ANYONE AVAILABLE? GIVE US A SUMMARY OF THE DETAILS OF THIS LEASE. THANK YOU.

THEY'RE ASKING US TO APPROVE. I THINK PERHAPS I CAN GIVE YOU. NOBODY.

WAIT, WAIT. KURT KURT IS GOING TO WEIGH IN. GO AHEAD, KURT.

>> YES. I CAN TELL YOU AS FAR AS MY INVOLVEMENT THE COUNTY HAS HAD AN AND. YEAH. MR. CLICKING RESPONSES FOR ANYONE WISHING TO USE THE OLD COURTHOUSE OR IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM I DON'T KNOW THE STATUS OF THOSE. WON'T BE THERE. DO YOU LIKE IT KEEP IT WAS MERELY THE CARRY OVER THE STATUS QUO FROM EARLIER WHEN THAT WAS REQUIRED FOR THE PARKING LOT TO THE END OF SEPTEMBER 30TH. WHILE WE REMUNERATE WELL WE ENUMERATED OVER WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WITH THE BUILDING. THIS WAS ONLY AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP THE STATUS QUO FOR TWO MONTHS WHILE WE DECIDE WHAT TO DO.

MR. SHERMAN DID NOT RECEIVE ANY RESPONSE. >> RFE MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. ROBERT NESS WAS BACK WHEN THE AT THE LEASE WITH SANTA LENA GARY KUBIAK KIDS SAID YOU KNOW ONE OF THE OPTIONS AT SOME POINT MIGHT BE TO SELL THE BUILDING IF IT DIDN'T HAVE PARKING.

>> THEN IT WOULD NOT BRING AS MUCH VALUE AS IT MIGHT. AND SO THE COUNCIL AGREED TO CONTINUE THAT TODAY TO LEASE THAT PROPERTY IS CONTINUED. IT WAS NOT.

IT WAS REALLY USED BY MY SANTA ANA. SO WHOEVER SAID IT WAS CORRECT WE EXTEND THE LEASE SHORT TERM TO SEE WHETHER THERE WAS ANY INTEREST IN THE COURTHOUSE IS RUNNING AT ABOUT A MILLION I'M SORRY A THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH.

BUT THE ESCALATOR IS PROBABLY ABOUT FIFTY THOUSAND HERE. I WOULD AGREE WITH ALLISON IF THIS IF THERE'S NO INTEREST IN BUYING THE BUILDING AT THIS POINT IN TIME I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A USE FOR IT. AND IT IS JUST A LOT OF MONEY. I'M GOING TO VOTE AGAINST IT.

>> OK. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.

I'D LIKE TO CALL THE QUESTION SINCE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL NO VOTES ON THIS.

>> I WILL CALL THE QUESTION. AND BRIAN, YOU WILL VOTE FIRST. I VOTE IN FAVOR.

WE HAVE ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE. YES, FOUR NO.

THE LEASE IS EXTENDED, GENTLEMEN. YES, SIR.

I BELIEVE THAT WE DO REQUIRE THREE READINGS. THIS IS A LEASE WE WENT THROUGH THIS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST AND WE SAID THAT WE HAD TO DO A NEW ORDINANCE FOR

LEASES AND I BELIEVE INCLUDED IN THAT LEASE EXTENSIONS. >> OK, MR. TAYLOR, DO YOU AGREE ONLY TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THAT? THE REASON IT WAS STRUCTURED AS AN EXTENSION WAS BECAUSE IT WOULD JUST TAKE TWO MUCH BRIEF EXTENSION RATHER THAN A 12

MONTHLY COCHRAN, OK. >> RIGHT NOW THAT APPROVAL OF THE LEASE EXTENSION HAS BEEN VOTED IN THE AFFIRMATIVE BY COUNCIL WILL BE CORRECTED IF WE ARE WRONG AND CAN RESCIND THAT
