[4. CONSIDERATION OF TWO ORDINANCES EXTENDING THE STATE OF EMERGENCY IN BEAUFORT COUNTY]
AND THE AGENDA IS APPROVED? WE HAVE TWO ACTION ITEMS THIS EVENING.LET ME GIVE A SYNOPSIS OF WHY WE ARE DOING THIS. THE STATE OF EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED BY THE GOVERNOR. THEN BEAUFORT COUNTY IN FACT DID DECLARE A STATE OF EMERGENCY. THEY DID HAVE A TIMELINE ON IT .
THE GOVERNOR EXTENDED HAS EXTENDED THE TIMELINES FOR THE STATE OF EMERGENCY.
AND WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS WE HAVE TO COINCIDE WITH THOSE BECAUSE WE DID PASS THOSE DEADLINES WITHOUT RENEWING. SO THE FIRST ONE IS TO MOVE THE EXTENSION OF THE EMERGENCY ORDINANCE FROM THE JUNE 11TH WHEN IT EXPIRED TO AUGUST 10TH WHEN IT WOULD HIT EXPIRED AGAIN. SO I WOULD LIKE A MOTION AND SECOND AND WE'LL HAVE ANY
DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. >> SO A MOTION PLEASE. SO MOVE ON TO JIM.
>> I'M SORRY. THAT WAS GERALD, CORRECT? CORRECT.
>> ALL RIGHT. ON I HAVE THE SHOT. >> I'D LIKE TO SECOND THAT MOTION. THANK YOU. MISS HOWARD, ANY DISCUSSION
NECESSARY? >> MR. CHAIRMAN, THANKS. GO AHEAD.
JUST. >> JUST CURIOUSLY, HOW CAN WE DO THIS IF THE DATA HAVE ALREADY PASSED? IS IT IS IT APPROPRIATE TO DATED BACKWARDS ACCORDING TO
OUR ATTORNEY? >> YES. >> WE'RE JUST DOING SOME
CLEANUP WITH RIBAUT CHAIRMAN. >> THIS IS EFFECTIVE RETROACTIVELY AND ALSO RATIFY ANY ACTIONS THAT WERE TAKEN DURING THAT CONTINUING STATE OF EMERGENCY.
I BELIEVE IT'S APPROPRIATE. >> OK. THANK YOU.
THE SAME ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, MR. KOVAC. >> I'M SORRY DID NOT HEAR YOUR
RESPONSE. >> THANK YOU. >> OK.
IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? OK. THEN I WILL SEEK APPROVAL WITHOUT OBJECTION. ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS SEEING NO OBJECTIONS.
>> THE FIRST EMERGENCY ORDINANCE WHICH IS 20 20 SLASH 0 4 IS NOW APPROVED.
[00:05:01]
THE SECOND ONE NOW TAKES US FROM THE AUGUST 10TH DATE AND MOVES THAT FORWARD 60 DAYS WHICH WILL EXPIRE ON OCTOBER 9TH. MAY I HAVE A MOTION FOR THAT ITEM? SO MOVE. MR. CHAIRMAN, MR. FORMAN, IHAVE A SECOND PLEASE. >> THIS YOURS THIS SECOND COVER.
>> IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION REGARDING THIS ONE? >> MR. CHAIRMAN, GO AHEAD, SIR.
>> I'VE HAD SOME CONSTITUENTS CALL ASKING WHAT I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD VENUE TO SAY THIS WHERE YOU WHATEVER WHOEVER IS LISTENING AND WATCHING CAN HEAR THIS BY EXTENDING THIS.
WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY, MISS MR. TAYLOR? >> WOULD YOU RESPOND? WELL, ONE IT DOES COVER IS IT EXTENDS OUR USE OF ELECTRONIC MEANS THAT EMERGENCY RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED STATING THAT IT CONTINUES AS LONG AS THE EMERGENCY IT IS BY EXTENDING THAT EMERGENCY THROUGH NOON AND NOW UP THROUGH OCTOBER. IT ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE USING THE EMERGENCY MEDIA THE ELECTRONIC MEETINGS METHODOLOGY .
IT ALSO VALIDATES THE MASK ORDINANCE WHICH HAS GOTTEN INTO THE CONCERT WITH THE STATE OF EMERGENCY. SO IT SIMPLY DOES THOSE TWO THINGS THAT CONTINUE TO STATE EMERGENCY COUNCIL USES A LATER DATE BEFORE OCTOBER 9 TO DECLARE THE EMERGENCY OVER
COUNCIL HAS THAT RIGHT. >> ALSO PART OF THE INDUSTRY I'M NOT DONE YET.
TO CONTINUE THIS CYCLE MY ALSO GIVES THE ADMINISTRATOR AUTHORITY TO SPEND CERTAIN FUNDS AND SEEK COUNCIL APPROVAL AFTERWARDS THOUGH WE ALL HAVE RECEIVED TONS E-MAILS FROM CONSTITUENTS ACROSS THE COUNTY ABOUT THE MASS ORDINANCE WHETHER THAT WAS INTENTIONALLY
FOR ONE OF THE MUNICIPAL US OR FOR US. >> DOES THIS PARTICULAR ORDINANCE EXTENDING IT OUT TILL OCTOBER DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH RENEWING A MASK
ORDINANCE MASK ORDINANCE ITSELF WAS ADOPTED ON ITS OWN TERMS. >> IT EXPIRES CURRENTLY ON
SEPTEMBER 4 TAILORS AND YOU'RE HEARING THANK YOU SIR. >> OK, THANK YOU, CURT.
CURT, IF I MAY. THIS IS COUNCILMAN DAWSON THE MY.
WELL, SIR, ALL RIGHT. YOU JUST SAID THAT THE MASS ORDINANCE EXPIRES IN SEPTEMBER FOR A THIRD DAY. SO IF THE PANDEMIC SITUATION IS NOT CURTAILED BY THEN BAND COUNCIL WANTS TO KEEP THE MASK ORDINANCE IN PLACE. WE WOULD HAVE TO BE IN COME BACK AND RE STATE THAT UPDATE. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WILL TAKE PLACE BEFORE THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING. I BELIEVE SO WE WOULD NEED TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING NOW FOR
WHAT WE CALL THEM OKATIE. >> OKAY. >> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? SAYING NONE OF IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MOTIONED. AND SECOND OF I WILL ASK FOR
APPROVAL WITHOUT EXCEPTION. ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS? >> SEEING NONE.
>> THIS ORDINANCE IS NOW APPROVED AND YES, WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL MEETING PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE MASK ORDINANCE AND I DID RECEIVE BY MY COUNT SEVENTY SEVEN DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL EMAILS PRO AND CON. MY COUNT IS SIXTY TWO.

DISTRICT I GUESS THERE IS A NEGOTIATION GOING ON THAT GO THROUGH.
>> WE WILL LOVE SOMEBODY IN THE BACKGROUND BECAUSE I SAY IT SAYS WE'RE DETECTING BACKGROUND
NOISE, OK? >> ALL RIGHT. SO THERE IS DISCUSSION TAKING PLACE REGARDING HILTON HEAD. SHOULD THAT BEAR FRUIT THAT WILL BE BROUGHT TO COUNCIL? IF NOT THEN COUNCIL WILL AGAIN CONTINUE ON WITH THE FINAL READING FOR THE UNIVERSAL
SERVICE CHARGE. >> MY CONCERN WAS AS I EXPRESSED BEFORE THAT WE NEED TO GIVE THE TREASURER AND ORDERED SUFFICIENT TIME TO ADJUST THE TAX BILLS ACCORDINGLY. AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT WE NEED TO HAVE THIRD AND FINAL READING BEFORE OUR NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING IN SEPTEMBER POINT IN TIME.
IT WOULD BE LATE AUGUST STORE AT THE AT THE VERY LATEST. THE FIRST MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER.
