AT LEAST THIS IS JUST A STEP. I FLEW ON UNDERAGED DISCUSSION ITEMS. COULD WE ADD AN UPDATE ON THE 278 SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW THAT CAME OUT OF COUNCIL BECAUSE WE TALKED THAT WE COULD REVISIT IT IF WE NEEDED TO.
AT THIS MEETING? >> THAT IS CORRECT. I THINK THAT WAS UNDER.
MAYBE I MISSED IT. YEAH. YOU KNOW, I SEE THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN I HAD THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. I HAD IT OVER OH THERE IT IS.
SALES TAX UPDATE PRESENTATION. I THOUGHT, STU, THAT IF IT IF IT BECOMES THAT FUN VERY I THINK WE I THINK THE STAFF INTENDS TO GIVE US AN IDEA ABOUT THEIR RF Q RFP PROCESS AND WHERE WE ARE IN DURING THAT SECTION OF IT. THAT'S FINE.

[6. PUBLIC FACILITIES RESPONSIBILITIES AS DISCUSSED AT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE]
APPROVED. NOW WE MOVE ON TO THE PUBLIC FACILITIES RESPONSE ABILITY.AS DISCUSSED AT THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, I'M SURE ALL OF YOU SEEN THE LIST AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK VISE CHAIRMAN SOMERVILLE FOR HIS WORK REGARDING SETTING SOME KIND OF A LIST FOR US TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET ALL THOSE ITEMS THAT WE'VE THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING WITHIN THE COURSE OF THE LAST YEAR AND AS DIRECTED BY THE CHAIRMAN.
>> YOU'LL HAVE THE LIST IN FRONT OF YOU AS ITEM SIX. I'D LIKE TO HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS AS WELL. AS FAR AS THE PRIORITIES, WHICH ONES OF THESE DO YOU THINK ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE GET ON AGENDAS SOONER RATHER THAN LATER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR? ANY THOUGHTS? OK.
WELL I'M GONNA GO AHEAD AND STATE WHAT I THINK ARE IMPORTANT ONES IF WE CAN HIGHLIGHT. NUMBER SEVEN, THE RESERVE STUDY OF COUNTY OWNED BUILDINGS.
YOU KNOW THAT'S THAT IS A PRIORITY FOR ME. BUT WE WON'T HAVE THE FACILITY STUDY DONE UNTIL I BELIEVE JANUARY, CORRECT? ACTUALLY, YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
OK. AND SO STARTING IN PROBABLY DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF A JANUARY OR FEBRUARY YOU'LL SEE THAT AS A RECURRING ITEM UNTIL WE HAVE SOME RESOLUTION TO WHAT WE THINK ARE APPROPRIATE USES FOR PROPERTIES AND WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THEM.
THE NEXT THING I'D LIKE YOU TO HIGHLIGHT IF WE COULD IS NUMBER TWO THE GARBAGE RECYCLING AND TIPPING FEES. OF COURSE WE'RE WAITING ON IMPACT THE VOTES.
AND SO I THINK IN ORDER TO GET THE IMPACT FEES WE NEED DEVELOPMENT.
WE NEED AGREEMENTS WITH OUR MUNICIPALITIES. AND SO I THINK WE NEED TO GIVE STAFF ANOTHER AT LEAST ANOTHER MONTH TO COME UP WITH THAT. SO I THINK THAT THIS WILL BE AN AGENDA ITEM EITHER IN OCTOBER OR PERHAPS NOVEMBER BUT CERTAINLY BY THE END YEAR WE
[00:05:01]
WANT COUNTY COUNCIL I BELIEVE ALL OF US WANT TO HAVE SOME SOLUTION TO THE IMPACT FEES REGARDING RECYCLING FEES, TIPPING FEES ETC.. AND CLEARLY THERE IS ANOTHER MATTER THAT I THINK WHERE WE'LL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE WHILE LATER AND THAT'S THE SPECIFIC INFORMATION WE HAVE REGARDING ON HILTON HEAD TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX REFERENDUM UPDATE YOU'LL SEE A MONTHLY REPORT NOW ON THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AGENDA REGARDING TAX SALES TAX REFERENDA UPDATES IN ANY RESOLVING ANY PROBLEMS OR RECEIVING ANY INFORMATION THAT'S APPROPRIATE OR NECESSARY FOR US AT TIME TO 70 A BRIDGE REPLACEMENT OBVIOUSLY AS AS THAT ITEM ARRIVES IT IS ON A MONTH TO BASIS. WE WANT TO STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE AND I GUESS THAT ALSO IS INCLUDED WITHIN THE SALES TAX REFERENDUM UPDATE 170 STUDY IN PLAN I THINK WILL REALLY HAVE TO WAIT ON THAT A LITTLE WHILE BECAUSE I THINK THAT FIRST OF ALL ALL THE SOURCES OF REVENUE THAT WE HAVE ANY IMPROVEMENTS TO HIGHWAY 170 RIGHT NOW AREASKING INTO THE FUTURE. >> AND SO IF WE WANT TO HAVE A PLAN, A STUDY IN A PLANE, SOMETHING WON'T PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET AND I DON'T THINK THERE IS A STOMACH TO DO IT THIS YEAR. SO BEGINNING I THINK THE FIRST OF THE YEAR MAYBE IN FEBRUARY WE'LL BRING THAT UP MASSACRE IN PERHAPS REQUEST THE ADMINISTRATION TO EVALUATE ANY NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS GO THROUGH THERE, GO THROUGH THAT WAY EVALUATING THE DETAIL SYSTEM IN THE CONVENIENT CENTER. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I INTEND TO HAVE UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS IMPLEMENTED WE'LL HAVE AT LEAST A MONTHLY OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE INFORMATION AND ASK QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC HAS HIGHLIGHTED THAT THAT IT'S VERY VISIBLE TO THEM WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR CONVENIENCE CENTERS AND WHERE WE'LL BE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. SO EXPECT THAT ON OUR MONTHLY AGENDA.
I HAVE A COMMENT ON THAT, MR. CHAIRMAN. IT'S ON OUR AGENDA LATER.
IS THERE SOMETHING RELATED TO THE THE PUBLIC FACILITIES LIST THAT WAS GIVEN, LARRY OR IT JUST I'D LIKE TO CHECHESSEE. I'D LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE CONSIDERING THE DEKALB SYSTEM WE PUT A SLASH AT THE END OF THAT SENTENCE AND DECIDE IF WE'RE GOING TO ELIMINATE ACCESS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION AND DEBRIS AND YARD WASTE DISPOSAL BECAUSE THE DEKALB SYSTEM AND THE ELIMINATION OF PEOPLE DUMPING THAT INTO THE CONVENIENT CENTER WOULD GO A LONG WAY TOWARD REDUCING THE COSTS EVEN PERHAPS BY AS MUCH AS HALF OF THE COSTS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. SO I THINK THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED IN TANDEM AND NOT ISOLATED AS A SEPARATE ENTITY. YOU KNOW, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU, LARRY AND YOU WOULD SARAH PLEASE PUT A SLASH AT THE END OF 9 NINE OF NUMBER ELEVEN. IT SHOULD SLASH ACCESS FOR S.A.
AND DEBRIS DISPOSAL. >> IS THAT APPROPRIATE FOR YOU, LARRY? WE THINK THAT ANSWER YOU. YEP, THAT'S PERFECT. THANK YOU.
OKAY. ITEM NUMBER 12 IS IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ENTERPRISE FUND FOR RECYCLING SOLID WASTE . MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT ALREADY IN THE BUDGET AND WE'RE PROCEEDING ON I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT THIS WOULD BE ON A PUBLIC FACILITIES AGENDA. AND FOURTH, IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATELY ON THE FINANCE COMMITTEE UNTIL IT'S TIME TO STAND UP THAT OUR ENTERPRISE FUND AND I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE CLEAR THEORY LIKE UPDATES REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE FUND AND VARIOUS ENTERPRISES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY IN OTHER WORDS DIFFERENT PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE INTENDING TO IMPLEMENT.
SO I THINK WE'VE PUT A CHECKMARK BY THAT. DOES ANYBODY DISAGREE WITH THAT
? >> NUMBER 13 IS FUTURE REFERENDA FOR TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS. AGAIN, I THINK THAT IT IS SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO START CONSIDERING AND I WOULD SUGGEST THAT DECEMBER IS AN APPROPRIATE TIME FRAME TO DO THAT AND TO AT LEAST STOP START BAR OR BALL PARKING. WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE DONE AND IT'S CLEARLY IT WON'T BE ON A REFERENDUM IN 2020 BUT IN TWENTY ONE IS NOT A GENERAL ELECTION YEAR. AND SO IT WOULD BE KIND OF DIFFICULT TO DO IT DURING THAT YEAR. BUT THESE THINGS TAKE AN AWFUL LOT OF TIME AND WE NEED TO CONSULT OUR PARTNERS AND START GENERATING THE INTEREST IN THE DISCUSSION.
SO I THINK IN DECEMBER OR MAYBE EVEN JANUARY DEPENDING ON OUR NEED FOR A MEETING IN DECEMBER
[00:10:02]
,WE'LL BRING THAT UP ON AN AGENDA OF OLD FEDERAL COURTHOUSE BUILDING AND LEASING DISCONTINUOUS OF THE PARKING LEASE. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IS ON OUR AGENDA TODAY. AND SO WE WILL HOPEFULLY HAVE AN ABILITY TO SCRATCH THAT OFF OR AT LEAST GET THE MORE DETAILED EXPLANATION OF WHEN WE'LL BE MAKING OUR FINAL DECISIONS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING AND POSSIBLE ADDITIONS RENOVATIONS.I SO I THINK THAT'S PROBABLY CONCURRENT WITH OUR SPACE. OUR FACILITIES USE NE ASSESSMENT AND SO WE'LL HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON THAT IN JANUARY INFRASTRUCTURE SHOVEL READY PROJECTS. IF A FEDERAL STIMULUS BILL IS AN ACT IT ACTUALLY COULD TALK ABOUT THIS FOR A SECOND AND TELL US WHAT YOU THINK A PROCESS FOR US TO COMPLY WITH
THE CHAIRMAN'S REQUEST WOULD BE . >> WHAT IS THE QUESTION, MR. FULFILLING? OK, ED SAYS INFRASTRUCTURE SHOVEL READY PROJECTS.
IF A FEDERAL STIMULUS BILL IS ENACTED, HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT IDENTIFYING THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE ALREADY CURRENTLY GOT ON OUR LIST THAT ARE WOULD BE CONSIDERED SHOVEL READY? THAT THE ONLY THING WE'RE LACKING IS APPROPRIATE FUNDING? HOW DO WE GO ABOUT THAT PROCESS ? WELL, STAFF IS ALREADY ON BENEFIT A NUMBER OF PROJECTS HERE. YOUR MAIN PROJECT IS THE AIRPORT TERMINAL HILTON HEAD CALL. WE HAVE QUITE A LARGE DELTA THERE THAT WE NEED TO COVER FOR FOR THAT PROJECT. SO I WORK WITH WITH OUR LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION, OUR CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION AND TALK ABOUT WITH THEIR STAFF MEMBERS ABOUT THIS.
AND I ALSO WORK WITH OUR LOBBYIST LYNN STOKES MURRAY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT YOU KNOW WHAT TYPES OF LEGISLATION MIGHT BE COMING OUT, YOU KNOW WHICH PROJECT COULD BE ELIGIBLE RIGHT NOW AND SAY THE AIRPORT IS PROBABLY THE TERMINAL PROJECT AND PROJECT PROBABLY THE MOST LIKELY. BUT IF WE HAVE OTHERS WE CAN WE CAN DISCUSS THAT.
>> THANKS. MAYBE WE'LL PUT THIS ON THE AGENDA FOR NEXT MONTH AND SEE IF WE CAN SEE WHAT YOU'RE THINKING OF AS SHOVEL READY PROJECTS AND THEN OF COURSE TAKE THE THE ADVICE TAKE THE TEMPERATURE OF COUNCIL FOR KIND OF LIKE SPEEDING UP THE PLANNING PROCESS FOR ANY OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE ON OUR IN OUR IN OUR LIST THAT WE NEED TO OUR PROJECTS LIST THAT WE WE THINK WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO CONSIDER AS A AS A STIMULUS PROJECT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE, SHOVEL READY PROJECTS.
THE NEXT ITEM NUMBER 17 IS THE TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE. SURE.
AND I'M THINKING THEN IN NOVEMBER WE CAN GO INTO DETAIL REGARDING THE TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE NEED WHAT OUR CURRENT CAPACITY IS AND WHAT ARE WE THINK OUR FUTURE NEEDS ARE CURRENT AREAS FOR UNDERPERFORMANCE THINGS THAT WE THINK WHERE WE'RE NOT QUITE UP AND HOW WE CAN ADDRESS THOSE IN THE FUTURE AND SO I'LL HAVE THAT ON THE NOVEMBER AGENDA FOR A DISCUSSION. NO, HATE ME.
BRIAN, JUST JUST TO PUT SOME MORE TEETH INTO THAT ONE WE JUST HEARD AT THE AT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE ABOUT OUR GO BONDS AND PART OF THE BONDS WAS TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE WORTH TWO POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS. SO WE'LL NEED KIND OF AN UPDATE AS TO EXACTLY HOW THAT TWO POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS MAY BE SPENT, OK.
>> SO YOU'RE SUGGESTING SOONER RATHER THAN LATER AS I WAS SAYING, NOVEMBER MIGHT BE TOO LONG TO THINK ABOUT IT. YEAH, I THINK WE SHOULD START IN OCTOBER IF WE CAN.
>> ALL RIGHT. SO I GUESS WE'LL CHANGE THAT TO OCTOBER IF YOU WOULD.
SARAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO WE'LL GET SOME IDEA OF WHERE THAT MONEY IS INTENDED TO BE SPENT AND FIND OUT WHERE OUR WHERE OUR ARE OUR THOUGHTS ARE VALUABLE TO STAFF.
LET'S SEE. NUMBER 18 TO FIRST FERRY CURRENT FUTURE LOCATION TERMINALS AT THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT EXPANSION. CLEARLY THESE ARE TWO SEPARATE THINGS. AND THE FUSCA ISLAND FERRY NEW TERMINAL FOR THE FERRY IS A HIGHWAY TO 78 IMPROVEMENT AT LEAST IT CORRESPONDS TO PART OF THAT AND I THINK IN OCTOBER WE'LL HAVE TO START THINKING ABOUT THAT SINCE THE 278 IMPROVEMENTS REALLY ONLY
[00:15:04]
ADDRESS THE ROAD ISSUE. THE ACTUAL BUILDING OF THE TERMINAL I THINK WE WANT TO GO INTO DEPTH IN OCTOBER ABOUT THAT AS WELL. FIND OUT WHAT OUR WHAT OUR PLAN IS, WHAT THE TIMELINE IS AND WHEN WE CAN EXPECT TO FIND RF CUES IN OUR PIECE IN PLANNING DONE BY THAT. AND THEN THE SAME THING WITH THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AIRPORT EXPANSION THAT'S NECESSARY. I GUESS WITH THE AIRPORT EXPANSION WE HAVE PLANS ALL WE HAVE. WE DON'T HAVE IS THE MONEY. IS THAT CORRECT?ASHLEY? >> THAT'S CORRECT. SO WE'LL WE'LL TOUCH ON THAT OCCASIONALLY. AS TIME PERMITS LET'S SEE SOLID WASTE RECYCLING PROGRAM.
I THINK THAT'S PRETTY MUCH INCLUDED IN NUMBER TWO AND NUMBER 11.
>> SO I'M GONNA I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT WE SCRATCH THAT OR SEND A NOTE ASKING FOR FURTHER INFORMATION FROM THE VISE CHAIRMAN. HE'S PROBABLY ON VARIOUS.
PAUL, DON'T YOU THINK THAT THAT NUMBER 19 IS ACTUALLY ALREADY COVERED UNDER NUMBER TWO IN NUMBER ELEVEN INSUFFICIENT DETAIL TO REMOVE IT FROM THIS LIST?
PAUL IS APPARENTLY NOT LISTENING TO ME. >> I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU, BRYAN, THAT THE THE WHOLE I GAVE YOU HIS SOMETHING THAT LARRY SPECIFIED AS WELL.
IT'S ONE THING TO PUT A HEALTH SYSTEM IN. IT'S ONE THING TO TALK ABOUT A NEW RECYCLING PROGRAM WHICH DAVE HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW, WE WE WANT TO DO RECYCLING. IT'S HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO IT IN THE FUTURE THINGS OF THAT NATURE AND REDUCING THE CONSTRUCTION AND DEBRIS THAT'S GOING TO THE CONVENIENCE CENTERS NOW SO IT CAN BECOME. IT CAN BE HANDLED UNDER THOSE OTHER TWO ITEMS. WELL, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE TAKE NUMBER 19 OFF THIS LIST THAT WE'RE NOT MISSING SOME TWIST OF THE THE THE PROBLEM THAT THAT WAS CLEARLY INTENDED THAT I'M JUST MISSING
RYAN. >> SO. SO MAYBE WILL OUT I'LL SEND PAUL A LITTLE NOTE AND MAKE SURE THAT THAT HE UNDERSTANDS WE.
>> I THINK THAT IT'S COVERED UNDER ITEM NUMBER TWO AND NUMBER ELEVEN AND TO SEND ME ON SOME MORE INFORMATION IF HE THINKS THAT'S NOT SUFFICIENT AND ALL RIGHT.
CAPITAL PROJECTS PART OF THE CURRENT BUDGET I I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW TO HANDLE THAT BECAUSE WE JUST GOT DONE WITH THE BUDGET SEASON AND ALL THOSE PROJECT WERE LISTED IN OUR BUDGET AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS IF THIS IS ASKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT EACH PROJECT WHICH WE WILL DO AS PART OF OUR MONTHLY REVIEW OR WHETHER IT'S IT REALLY IS INTENDED TO MEAN ALL THOSE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT WE DON'T HAVE FUNDING FOR AND THAT WE'RE NOT PROCEEDING WITH
AS YET. >> SO I'LL ASK AROUND ABOUT THAT AND LEAVE IT HERE AS AN ITEM FOR A FUTURE DISCUSSION. MAKE SURE WE GET IT FILLED IN APPROPRIATELY AND THEN FACILITY STUDY UPDATES AS WE SAID THAT'S ALREADY HANDLED UNDER A COUPLE OF OTHER ITEMS AND I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT ON THERE SO THAT WE MAKE SURE IT WE UNDERSTAND THAT IN JANUARY WE'LL HAVE FURTHER INFORMATION AND PROBABLY BE THE SUBJECT OF THE MEETING EITHER JANUARY OR FEBRUARY ONCE IT'S BEEN EVALUATED BY THE IS THERE ANY INFORMATION, ANY OTHER THINGS WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THAT ARE NOT ON THIS LIST THAT THAT Y'ALL HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT AND WANT TO ADD IS
JIM, WE COULD YOU'RE ALSO OBVIOUSLY HERE. >> THANK YOU.
CONCERNED ABOUT OUR BOAT LANDINGS AND THE MAINTENANCE OF THOSE BOAT LANDINGS SHOULD IT BE HERE ON ONE OF THESE LISTS HERE OR IS IT COVERED SOMEPLACE ELSE?
YEAH. >> IS THERE IS THERE A SPECIFIC ITEM THAT YOU WANT TO BRING TO OUR ATTENTION RIGHT NOW? IN OTHER WORDS, MAINTENANCE AT A PARTICULAR BOAT LANDING BECAUSE FRANKLY THOSE CAN BE JUST EMAILED TO THE ADMINISTRATION AND GET REALLY PROMPT RESPONSE. I KNOW I'VE DONE IT. AND BUT EVEN IF THERE'S LIKE A GENERAL CONCERN THAT YOU HAVE, PERHAPS WE CAN PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR NOVEMBER, OCTOBER OR
NOVEMBER. >> WELCOME. I CAN DO EITHER ONE.
I CAN EMAIL THE ADMINISTRATION OR I CAN JUST SAY RIGHT NOW IN PARTICULAR THE STATIN
[00:20:06]
SEASIDE ROAD LANDING AREA. >> YEAH, I'VE MADE IT MADE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THAT AS WELL FORWARD FOR A COMPLAINT FROM CONSTITUTE REGARDING THAT AND USUALLY BECAUSE CONTRACT BUILD THE THE THE 1 GARBAGE 55 GALLON DRUM GETS FALL VERY VERY QUICKLY AND NEEDS TO BE DONE TO
LITTLE MORE FREQUENTLY ESPECIALLY DURING THE SEASON. >> THE COMPLAINT IT WAS BASICALLY THE MAINTENANCE OF IT, THE UPGRADING OF IT AT THIS TIME AND I TELL YOU WHAT THAT IN AN AGENDA ITEM FOR NEXT MONTH REGARDING MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENT SCHEDULE FOR BOAT LANDINGS THROUGHOUT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
THANKS SO MUCH. I APPRECIATE THAT, CHAIRMAN MR. CHAIRMAN.
SO MR. GLOVER, IT'S FROM A YOU KNOW, I HAVE THAT ITEM FOR ACTION AND WILL RESPOND TO YOU ON THAT ON STATION CREEK. BUT OVERALL THAT'S BROUGHT THIS UP BECAUSE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT STAFF AND I'VE BEEN DISCUSSING FOR SOME TIME. WE DO AGREE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE A PLAN FOR FOR MAINTAINING AND UPGRADING OUR BOAT LANDINGS BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT PART OF BEFORE COUNTY. IT'S A HUGE ASSET FOR US.
I MEAN IT'S HAS SO MUCH TO DO WITH NOT ONLY QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR RESIDENTS BUT ALSO OUR VISITORS. AND SO WE DO FEEL LIKE WE NEED A SEPARATE PROGRAM JUST FOR MAINTAINING AND UPGRADING AND JUST KEEPING THOSE BOAT LANDINGS AND AS GOOD A SHAPE AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU. THAT'S GREAT.
WELL WE'LL GO AHEAD THEN AND ADD THAT AS AS AN ITEM TO THE END OF THIS LIST AND HAVE IT.
I THOUGHT YOU ALREADY WROTE SARA. DIDN'T I SEE THAT BOAT LANDING SCHEDULE FOR MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENT PERHAPS WOULD BE A GOOD ONE NOT GESTATION CRATE
BUT IT'S ALL ALL BOAT LANDINGS . >> THANK YOU.
MAINTENANCE AND IMPROVEMENT FOR ALL BOAT LANDINGS SCHEDULE SLASH PLAN.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, YORK. ARE THERE ANY OTHER THINGS THAT WE NEED TO ADD TO THE LIST?
STEWART GOT TO STOP. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. A COUPLE OF THINGS.
IT'S A GOOD LIST. OBVIOUSLY SOME PLACES WHERE YOU CAN CONSOLIDATE SOME THINGS.
MY RECOLLECTION OF THE CAPITAL ON ITEM 20 WAS THAT WE APPROVED THE OPERATING BUDGET BUT WE NEVER REALLY DID TAKE A LOOK AT THE CAPITAL. SO NOT THAT IT WAS PRESSING.
BUT I DO THINK WE STILL HAVE TO REVISIT THE CAPITAL BUDGET AT SOME POINT.
I SEE TWO ADS HERE. ONE IS WE'VE TALKED IN THE PAST ABOUT FIXING THE BLUFFTON PARKWAY CIRCLE AT FORTY SIX AND SOME WORK WAS DONE. I'M GUESSING A YEAR AND A HALF TWO YEARS AGO THERE WAS AGREEMENT I THINK FROM ECPAT THAT IT WAS CERTAINLY PARTIALLY BROKEN BUT THEY WEREN'T GOING TO PUT ANY MONEY INTO IT. AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE AND REPRESENTATIVES FROM BLUFFTON BUT WE SPEAK TO BETTER THAN I CAN BUT I THINK THEY GO OUT OF THEIR WAY JUST TO AVOID THE CIRCLE BECAUSE IT IS IT'S IT'S DANGEROUS AND IT'S DIFFICULT TO KNOW. GAVIN GAVIN NAVIGATE NAVIGATE FOR MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN ASK ASK ONE ITEM YOU MIGHT WANT CONSIDER LAND ASKING ADDING THE OTHER WOULD BE DEPENDING ON OUR DISCUSSION COMING OUT LATER IN THE AGENDA. THE INTERSECTION AT BUCK WALTER IN BLUFFTON PARKWAYS HANGING AROUND FOR A WHILE. THE MAIN ITEM I WOULD SPEAK TO THIS COMES IS THIS ABOUT FOR THREE THINGS THAT KIND OF COME TOGETHER AND STILL HOLD HOLD
DOWN ONE SECOND. >> LET ME GET SARA TO ADD NUMBER 24 WHICH WOULD BE EVALUATION OF BLUFFTON ROAD, BLUFFTON PARKWAY, CIRCLE OAK AND THEN WHAT WAS THE SECOND PART YOU STARTED SAVE IF THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE THE INTERSECTION AT BLUFFTON PARKWAY AND BUCK WALTER AND WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT THAT LITTLE BIT LATER BUT WE
DON'T WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THAT. >> OKAY.
>> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. GO AHEAD THEN.
I'M TANYA. >> THE PROBABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE TO ME IS A COUPLE OF THE ITEMS THAT ARE ON HERE. IF I MELD THEM ALL TOGETHER. ONE IS THE TRANSPORTATION SALES TAX WHICH WE COULD POTENTIALLY DO IN 2020 TO THE THE 170 PROJECT WHICH IS ITEM NUMBER 10
AND THE SHOVEL READY WHICH WAS ITEM WHATEVER IT WAS. >> AND IT IT SEEMS TO ME ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A LONG WAY OUT I THINK WHEN WE DID THE 2018 REFERENDUM WE WERE PRETTY FAR DOWNSTREAM ON WHAT SOME THOSE PROJECTS WERE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
AND OBVIOUSLY SOME INTERACTION WITH LATS AND THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE KNOW WE'RE GOING
[00:25:02]
TO DO SOMETHING THERE, IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO POTENTIALLY BE DOING SOME OF THE ENGINEERING TO GET SHOVEL READY WHICH I THINK IT'S MORE OF A FEDERAL ISSUE FEDERAL FUNDS THAN IT IS A STATE ONE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. BUT IN ANY EVENT, I TEND TO THINK THAT WE'RE KIND OF AT LEAD TIME ALMOST FOR A 20 TWO PENNY SALES TAX ALTHOUGH THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S A LONG WAY OFF. SO TO ME IT'S I'D BE SOMEWHATOF A PRIORITY STATE. >> THE THING I APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OF COURSE IS THAT WE DON'T WANT TO GET SO FAR AHEAD OF ACTUAL CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE I REMEMBER OUR CONVERSATION YOU AND I TALKING ABOUT HOW NICE IT IS TO BE ABLE TO GO TO THE VOTERS AND SAY LOOK WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE LAST ONE WHICH WE'VE NOW STOPPED COLLECTING AND NOW WE'RE READY FOR ANOTHER ONE. LET'S START THE NEXT PHASE AND SO WE WANT TO GET SOME OF THIS STUFF DONE AS MUCH AS WE CAN AND THAT'S PART OF OUR FOCUS HERE TODAY AS A MATTER OF FACT TO SEE WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE CAN SPEED THINGS UP.
BUT I DO THINK JANUARY IS TOO LATE TO BE DOING IN DECEMBER AND JANUARY IS TOO LATE TO BE
DOING THAT OR YOU THINK THAT'S ABOUT APPROPRIATE? >> WELL, YOU KNOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THE WEEK WE'RE GONNA BE DOING THE PRIORITY INVESTMENT ACT, I BELIEVE IS DUE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. IT WILL CERTAINLY. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE WHATEVER ITEMS OR SOME OF THE ITEMS WE'RE THINKING ABOUT FOR THE REFERENDUM INCORPORATE IN THAT MORE AND MORE LAND RIGHTS. DO I THINK IT IS REQUIRED? HE IS REQUIRED.
YEAH. OBVIOUSLY THERE'S GOING TO BE AN IMPACT FROM LATS AND JUST ALL THESE THINGS START TO COME TOGETHER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ONE 170 IS BROKEN BETWEEN 2 78 AND 4 62 WITH ALL THE GROWTH THAT'S TAKING PLACE. AND UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE THAT'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE ON THE REFERENDUM. SO YOU KNOW, THE SOONER WE START SPEND A LITTLE MONEY AND LOOKING AT THAT AND MAKING SURE WE'RE GETTING ALL OUR ACT TOGETHER, THE BETTER.
THANKS. SARAH, IF WE COULD NOT NOT DECEMBER JANUARY FOR THAT DISCUSSION, LET'S GO AHEAD AND TEE IT UP NEXT MONTH IN OCTOBER.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS REGARDING OUR LIST AND SETTING THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MONTH?
>> IT'S JUST JUST ONE MORE FOR ME, BRIAN. >> OH, YOU PIG WOULD BE AN UPDATE AT SOME POINT IN TIME FROM CTC REGARDING THE DIRT ROADS THAT ARE GOING TO BE PAVED IN THE PROCESS THEY'RE GOING TO USE TO DO THE NEXT ROUND.
THANKS. >> LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET THAT IN OCTOBER AS WELL.
AND AND I THINK SARAH, YOU CAN PUT DOWN EITHER ON THIS LIST OR ON THE PROSPECTIVE AGENDA FOR OCTOBER CPC DIRT ROAD PAVING UPDATES OR WHAT'S WHAT'S WHAT'S COMING WHAT'S YET TO BE DONE,
THAT KIND OF THING THAT HANDLE JOE GETS THEM. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT WOULD BE GREAT BY THE WAY. THERE WAS A SOUTH CAROLINA 1 70 CORE QUARTER ACCESS MANAGEMENT STUDY THAT WAS DONE IN OCTOBER OF 2019 THAT GAVE SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG TERM SUGGESTED PROJECTS TO HANDLE ROUTE 170 BETWEEN 278 AND 462. OK.
GOOD TO KNOW. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M SURE WE'LL BE REVIEWING THAT NEXT MONTH AS WELL. ALL RIGHT, MR. CHAIRMAN. MR. CHAIRMAN, FOR YOU GO.
YOU'RE ON THE ROAD MAINTENANCE. WHEN YOU GET TO CDC AND UPDATE ON ON PAY ROLL UP IN UNPAID
ROAD, WHAT ABOUT AN UPDATE ON RESURFACING AS WELL? >> GO AHEAD NOW THAT SARAH IF YOU CAN. YEAH. THIS PROJECT.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SO NOW WE MOVE ON ITEM NUMBER
[7. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE PRESENTATION]
SEVEN I THINK JARED IS GOING TO GIVE US CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT UPDATE.AND AGAIN, THIS IS THIS IS STUFF THAT'S ALREADY IN THE PIPELINE AND I THINK JARED WHAT
HE DONE FOR US. >> YEAH. I'M ACTUALLY GONNA SHARE MY
SCREEN SHIFT. >> JOE, PASS ME WOULD YOU PLEASE MUTE.
[00:30:07]
THANK YOU. E E E ALL RIGHT. CAN YOU HEAR ME?COUNCILMAN CHAIRMAN. YES, WE CAN. >> ALL RIGHT.
SO I'LL TAKE YOU THROUGH THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS. AS YOU MENTIONED, THESE ARE PRODUCE ALREADY IN THE WORKS THAT YOU GUYS ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR AND AWARE OF.
THE FIRST ONE BEING WHICH IN POINT PARK THIS ONE IS FINISHING UP IN CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. IT'S ACTUALLY WORKING ON THE FINAL PUNCH LIST ITEMS WE HAVE SEPTEMBER BUT IT'S ACTUALLY OCTOBER. I HAVE A SOFT OPENING IN OCTOBER IS CONTINUING UNDER BUDGET AND THIS IS A PART OF THE AREA RIGHT HERE.
>> THE STILL LOOKOUT POINT THAT YOU SEE THERE ON THE RIGHT WHICH IS FANTASTIC.
SO AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING IN THE PROCESS OF A PROPOSAL FOR A MONUMENT SIGN OUT FRONT.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, WE'RE FINISHING UP THE LAST PARTS TO THIS PROJECT.
THE NEXT ONE IS THE BOSTON CIRCLE DC AND HOME. THIS PROJECT ALSO IS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AND UNDER BUDGET. SO YOU SEE THE TOWER WE FINISHED.
SO FINISH THE FINAL DETAILS AS WELL AS CLEANING UP THE OUTSIDE.
BUT THERE'S A PICTURE HERE ON THE OUTSIDE NEEDS A LITTLE BIT CLEANUP WORK.
THIS PROJECT SUPPOSED TO BE FINISHED IN JANUARY. SO I SAID THEY'RE 90 PERCENT AHEAD OF OUR 9 PERCENT. AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTION AND SHOULD BE FINISHED IN NOVEMBER
. >> NEXT PROJECT IS TO SHANKLIN ROAD AND THIS PROJECT.
THIS PROJECT AS YOU CAN SEE THE EXTERIOR WORK'S ALL FINISHED WORKING ON THE INTERIOR TILING COUNTERTOPS AND SUCH. ALSO PREPARING FOR THE SITE WORK WITH THE CONCRETE AND INSIDE WELCOMES. SO THIS PROJECT IS SCHEDULED TO BE DELIVERED IN NOVEMBER.
FRAZIER CONSTRUCTION IS DOING THIS WORK. >> FOR FREMONT INTERPRETIVE CENTER SO THE MAJORITY OF THE WORK ON THE OUTSIDE IS COMPLETE AND THEY'RE MOVING INTO THE INSIDE. THEY THEY NOW THAT THEY MOVED INTO THE INSIDE ARE STARTING TO HIT THEIR STRIDE. SO THEY'RE THEY'RE GETTING MUCH CLOSER.
EVERYTHING IS MOVING FORWARD AND CONTINUES TO STAY ON BUDGET.
>> FOR FREMONT ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS THIS ONE CLOSELY RELATED BUT SEPARATE PROJECT.
THIS BRIDGE IS DOING GREAT. THIS IS IN MAJOR ENTERPRISE, A SMALL LOCAL COMPANY FROM HILTON HEAD DOING THE WORK. THEY'LL BE BRINGING THE CAR AND DOING THE FARM AND THEIR ROAD ENTRANCE AND THE PARKING. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, THEY'RE DOING THE SITE WORK, GETTING THE SITE WHERE IT READY AND GETTING READY TO PLACE THE ROCK.
THEY ARE THEY WERE. IF YOU REMEMBER THEY WERE ON THE LOW BID A DRAMATIC AMOUNT BUT THEY'RE DOING A GREAT JOB THERE. SO ARTHUR HORNE BUILDING
THEY'RE CONTINUING TO WORK ON THE INTERIOR. >> THEY'RE ON THE SECOND FLOOR SPARSE FRAME AND THAT YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE GETTING READY TO DO THAT THIRD FLOOR.
WE'RE ALSO COORDINATING WITH DOMINION ENERGY RIGHT NOW TO BRING THE PERMANENT POWER.
SO YOU HAVE THAT HERE SOON ALSO WORKING. >> WE JUST DID A PURCHASE ORDER FOR THE ITC ASSESSMENT. SO WE CAN ANALYZE WHAT WE HAVE IN THE EXISTING BUILDING AND THEN WHAT WE NEED FROM THERE. BUT AS MENTIONED IN THE FINANCE MANY THIS PROJECT IS ON BUDGET AS FAR AS THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT AMOUNT. SO THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS WITH THE PLANNED COMPLETION DATE IN MARCH OR FREDERICK.
>> PHASE 1. SO THIS IS FOR THE PASSIVE PARK AND ROAD AND PARKING AND ALSO FOR THE PAVILION OVERVIEW TO BE FOREVER. THEY GOT STARTED ON THIS AND THEY'RE JUST OUT THERE IN THE IN THE SITE WORK NOW. BUT THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THEY PROGRESS HERE NICELY AND SHOULD BE COMPLETED BY THE END OF THE YEAR.
EVERYTHING'S MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS AS PLANNED AND EVEN THIS FIRE STATION.
[00:35:03]
>> THIRTY ONE THIS IS THE ONE WE JUST HELD THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY FOR FRAZIER CONSTRUCTION HAS THIS PROJECT AS WELL. SO THAT WAS HELD ON SEPTEMBER 4TH AND THEY ARE STARTING RIGHT AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE THE BUILDING PREP AND CONTINUING TO HAVE ALL THE BNP IS INSTALLED AND START ON SITE OR THIS HERE IS JUST AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT. THERE'S A COUPLE THAT ARE NOT INCLUDED.
ONE OF THEM BEING THE DIRT ROAD PAVING CONTRACT AS I MENTIONED. SO THAT IS BEING DONE PERFORMED IN CONCERT WITH CTC AND ON TAX FUNDS. AND THOSE TECH FUNDS RIGHT NOW THEY'RE UNDER DESIGN. IT'S BEEN AWARDED TO JAY TIRES AND ANDREW'S ENGINEERING AS DESIGN BUILD CONTRACT AND THEY ARE WORKING ON THE FIRST ROAD AS FAR AS THE DESIGN AND PERMITTING AND START THE SURVEY WORK ON THE SECOND AND THIRD GRADE.

JARED, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS I'M SORRY, JARED, DID YOU SAY IT'S EVERY FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH THEY'RE PUT POST TO DO

MOVING ON THEN TO SALES TAX UPDATE PRESENTATION THERE AGAIN.>> RIGHT. >> LET'S MEET AGAIN OUR CONTINUE TO HOLD THE SCREEN SO
SALES TO A 2018 UPDATE SO SO AS FAR AS COLLECTIONS TODAY. >> WE STARTED COLLECTING IN MAY FIRST TWENTY NINETEEN AND HAVE RECEIVED FOUR QUARTERS WORTH THUS FAR UP THROUGH THE END OF FOURTH QUARTER 20 AS FAR AS RECEIPTS AND WE'RE AT THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN RECEIPTS SO THAT DID ENCOMPASS A LITTLE BIT OF CODE STARTING IN MARCH AND WE DON'T HAVE THE FIRST QUARTER TWENTY ONE POSTED IN AVAILABLE TO FURTHER ANALYZE WHAT IMPACTS WERE MADE.
BUT JUST FOR THE INITIAL IMPACTS IT DOES. WE ARE STILL ARE MAINTAINING THE 4 YEARS 120 MILLION DOLLARS THAT WAS INTENDED. RIGHT.
RIGHT. >> SO JUST IN GENERAL THE PROCESS THE PROCESS IS SAME IN ALMOST THE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS PLAN AND DESIGN AND ENGINEERING ON THE PERMITTING RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITION AND THEN CONSTRUCTION AND YOU'LL SEE THAT AS WE TALK THROUGH THESE PROJECTS. SO THE FIRST 180 MILLION DOLLARS BEING TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS ON HILTON HEAD. HOLD ON. GERARD, NOTHING IS ON MY SCREEN. ARE YOU TRYING TO SHOW SOMETHING?
>> OH, I'M SORRY. MAYBE YOU CAN WORK FOR IT. THAT'S IT.
THANKS. THAT'S THE ONE I'M LOOKING FOR .
YOU'RE ON MUTE. JARED SORRY. THE THREE PROJECTS, THE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS HILTON HEAD THE LADIES ALAN IMPROVEMENTS. THIRTY NINE DOLLARS IN THE PATHWAY IMPROVEMENTS. SO THIS CHART AS REFERRING TO AS FAR AS THIRTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS COLLECTED THROUGH THE FIRST 10 FOURTH QUARTER 2020. >> SO WE'LL GET THE NUMBERS HERE SOON FOR THE FIRST QUARTER 21 AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE MORE FULLY WHAT IMPACTS FROM IT HAS BEEN ON THE SALES TAX COLLECTION AS FAR AS THE PROCESS VERY SIMILAR ON ALL THESE TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS PLANNING DESIGN, ENGINEERING AS WELL AS PUBLIC INPUT INTO PERMITTING THEN RIGHT AWAY ACQUISITION AND FURTHER IN THE CONSTRUCTION SO ON THE FIRST
PROJECT. >> EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS TOWARDS HILTON HEAD TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS AND D.A. HAS TAKEN LEAD AS WE'RE WELL AWARE THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING THROUGH THE NEPA PROCESS. AS YOU CAN SEE THE 10 STEPS THEY'RE WORKING TOWARDS THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE AND THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY DECISION WE'RE CURRENTLY LOOKING TOWARDS A TWENTY TWENTY ONE PUBLIC HEARING. SO WE ARE NAVIGATING THE PROCESS AS HAS BEEN A LONG PROCESS BUT VERY INFORMATIVE AND GOT A LOT OF INPUT FROM DIFFERENT PARTIES AND CONTINUING TO GET INPUT. THE FIRST MEETING STARTED IN SEPTEMBER 2018 WHERE WE STARTED WITH THE 16 ALTERNATIVES AS SHOWN HERE.
KIND OF LOOKS A LITTLE BIT SPAGHETTI BUT DALLAS TO GO THROUGH THE DIFFERENT SCENARIO
IS MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T LEAVE ANY STONE UNTURNED. >> FROM THERE THEY CONTINUED TO MEET IN SEPTEMBER 20 19 PROVIDED WITH SIX REASONABLE OR NOT REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES AND THEN LATER DOWN TO SIX REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES WHICH ARE WHERE WE ARE TODAY.
AS YOU SEE THERE START TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE CONDENSED. AS FAR AS THE LOCATION AND LAYOUT AND FROM HERE DFT IS TAKING PUBLIC INPUT AND COORDINATE WITH DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND WORKING TO REPRESENT A PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE WHICH AGAIN WILL
PROBABLY BE THE FIRST PART OF 20 21. >> IT'S WHERE THEY ARE IN THEIR
[00:45:03]
PROCESS CURRENTLY. MORE SPECIFICALLY THERE'S THREE MAIN ACTIONS THAT IS WORKING TOWARDS ON THE FIRST ME THE INTERSECTION STUDY AT SQUIRE POPE AND SPANISH WILLS AND THE CROSS ISLAND PARKWAY AND HOW THAT INTERSECTION AND THOSE INTERSECTIONS WORK TOGETHER TOGETHER THERE IS A LOT OF DELAY THAT IS CREATED FROM THOSE INTERSECTIONS AND THEY'RE TEASING OUT JUST AS THE ABOVE SLIDES THE DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES THEY MANYALTERNATIVES THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT. >> SO THEY CAN COME TO THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE AS WELL. THEY'RE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AS FAR AS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND NATIONAL IMPACTS AND COMMUNITY IMPACTS.
SO ON VERY SENSITIVE AREA WITH A LOT OF DELAY THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO COME UP WITH THE MOST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION. SIMILAR IS THE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT AREA NEAR THE HARBOR WHEN MIDDLE HARBOR AS YOU'RE COMING OFF OF THE BRIDGE AND HOW IT RELATES TO JENKINS
ROAD AND JENKINS ISLAND. >> SO AGAIN THEY HAVE SEVERAL ITERATIONS DEPENDING ON THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVES SELECTED AS WELL AS DIFFERENT DIFFERENT IDEAS WHETHER THEY INCORPORATE PARTS OF THE SUPER STREET THAT WERE INTENDED IN THE JENKINS ISLAND PROJECT THAT COUNTY WAS IDENTIFYING SOME OF THOSE ARE STILL IN THE RUNNING AS FAR AS THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE.
BUT AGAIN, D.A. IS TAKING A SPECIFIC LOOK AT THIS AREA AND GOING TO MAKE PRESENTATION ON THAT AS THEY MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR DESIGN. AND THEN THIRDLY, THE THIRD CONCURRENT ACTIVITY THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON SPECIFICALLY NOW IS THE IMPACTS.
>> SO AGAIN COMMUNITY IMPACTS AS WELL AS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.
RIGHT. NOW ONE OF THE ALTERNATIVES THAT'S LEADING THE CHARGE IS IS WAY AS FAR AS IN THE STONING AREA IS IS TO TRY TO REDUCE AS MUCH AS POTENTIAL OFFSETS DISPLACEMENTS AS FAR AS RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL. SO THAT'S DEFINITELY CRITICAL IN THEIR PURSUIT TO FIND THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE IN THIS AREA.
THIS ALSO PARLAYS INTO WHAT WAS DISCUSSED EARLIER AS FAR AS THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW.
SO I AM CURRENTLY WORKING FROM FROM COORDINATION WITH COUNTY COUNCIL AND ALSO TOWN COUNCIL.
THERE'S BEEN DIRECTION AS FAR AS COORDINATING ON RFP FOR INDEPENDENT REVIEW SUCH THAT THESE ITEMS ARE TAKEN INTO FULL ACCOUNT AND THAT DOJ TS WORK IS REVIEWED TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVES THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE THAT HAVEN'T BEEN EXPLORED OR HAVEN'T BEEN FULLY EXPLORED AS WELL AS ANY ENVIRONMENTAL OR COMMUNITY IMPACTS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN FULLY EXPLORED. I HAVE THE SCOPE AS PROVIDED BY THE U.S. WAS COINED BUT SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS WE HAVE THAT. AND COUNCILMAN AND PROVIDED INPUT AS WELL AS SENATOR DAVIS MADE A PRESENTATION AS WELL. SO TAKEN ALL OF THOSE TRYING TO PUT THEM TOGETHER IN ONE RFP PACKAGE AND ONCE I HAVE THAT PUT TOGETHER I'LL BE DISPERSING THEM BACK TO BOTH THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD AND THE D.A. FOR REVIEW. SO WORKING ON THAT, I HOPE TO HAVE THAT PROBABLY TOMORROW OUT AND ABOUT FOR EVERYBODY TO TAKE A LOOK AT AND FROM THERE ONCE WE DECIDE ON THE SCOPE LOOK FOR THE BEST MEANS AND METHOD TO DELIVER THAT TO A CONSULTANT SUCH THAT WE CAN GET THEM ON BOARD AGAIN. THE HIGHLIGHT TO THIS IS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING IS LEFT UNTURNED BUT ALSO ENSURE THAT WE CAN PROVIDE THIS AS PUBLIC COMMENT TO DOJ. SO IT DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH THE NEPA PROCESS AND ANY FUNDING THAT'S ALREADY ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROJECT. SO THE GOAL IS TO ACT AS QUICK
AS POSSIBLE. >> GARRETT VERY GOOD. THANK YOU JARED.
AND THEN THIS IS THE CONTACT FOR D.A. CRAIG WYNN AS THE PROJECT MANAGER.
THEY HAVE THE WEBSITE THERE AT SCADA 278 CORRIDOR DOT COM WHERE A LOT OF THIS INFORMATION IS HOUSED. WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON WE BE IN THE COUNTY WORKING ON A GLOBAL WEB SITE THAT MORE FULLY DESCRIBES ALL THREE PROJECTS ON THE SURFACE TAX REFERENDUM AND THEN THIS WEB SITE WILL BE REFERENCED INSIDE OF THE LARGER WEB SITE.
>> OK. THE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS ON LADIES ALLEN.
SO JUST TO REMIND EVERYBODY THERE'S NINE PROJECTS THAT WERE IDENTIFIED AS PART OF THE STAND TECH STUDY. THESE ARE NINE PROJECTS. I'M GOING TO LIST THEM.
[00:50:02]
I THINK EVERYBODY IS PRETTY WELL AWARE OF WHAT THOSE ARE AT THIS POINT.SO AT THE COUNCIL MEETING ON 9 14 THAT IT WAS AWARDED THE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT CONTRACT TO JAY BRAGG THAT DOESN'T COME ANY SOONER THAN
WHAT WE NEEDED IT. >> WE'RE READY TO PUT BRAD TO WORK TO HELP AS AN EXTENSION STARTS. WE HAVE TO RFP DOWN AT THE BOTTOM THAT ARE OUT FOR SOLICITATION THAT ARE ACTUALLY DUE BACK THIS WEEK. THAT IS FOR.
WELL, WE HAVE A BROKEN DOWN IS THE DESIGN OF THE LARGE CORRIDOR MAIN CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS ALONG 21 AND THE ATO TO AS WELL AS THE AS WELL AS THE INTERSECTION
IMPROVEMENTS AT THE HOSPITAL. >> SO ALL THAT'S INCLUDED IN ONE RFP AND THEN THE SECOND ONE IS THE ALL THE OTHER ANCILLARY PROJECTS THAT FEED INTO THE MAIN NETWORK.
SO THEY'LL ONBOARD TO HELP US SELECT THE DESIGN ENGINEER AS WELL AS MANAGE THAT DESIGN ENGINEER ONCE THEY'RE ON BOARD AN THE FIRST PROJECT THAT'S OUT THE GATE AS FAR AS THE WHOLE PROGRAM FOR THE SALES TAX PROGRAM IS SANDS POINT TURNLEY PROJECT.
THAT TOO WAS AWARDED AT THE COUNCIL MEETING IN 14 THAT WAS AWARDED TO A PAC.
THEY WERE ALSO THE CONTRACTOR THAT DID THE CONSTRUCTION WORK ON BOUNDARY STREET PROGRAM ARE THE BOUNDARY STREET PROJECT. SO THEY'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH WORK IN THE AREA AND HAVE A GOOD WORKING HISTORY WOULD BEAUFORT COUNTY. WE'RE ESTIMATING A NOTICE TO PROCEED. THEY BEGIN IN NOVEMBER WITH A FOUR 120 DAY COMPLETION PERIOD
. >> SO THAT IS THE WORK ONGOING ON LADIES ALAN LASHLEY AS THE SIDEWALK AND PATHWAY IMPROVEMENTS THE OUT OF THE TWENTY FOUR PATHWAYS THAT WERE
INCLUDED ON THE REFERENDUM. >> THERE WAS A RESOLUTION MADE BY COUNCIL PREVIOUSLY CALLED THE 14 PRIORITIZED PATHWAYS. AND AGAIN I WON'T GO THROUGH THEM ALL AS YOU GUYS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE ONES THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. FIRST WE HAVE STARTED THE
LINEAR ENGINEERING ON 14 OF THESE PATHWAYS. >> WE'VE ALSO STARTED JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION WITH THE CORPS ON THESE PATHWAYS THAT BEING A LONG LEAD
ITEM AS FAR AS THE PERMITTING AND ENVIRONMENTAL. >> THERE MAY BE SOME THAT DON'T REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PERMITTING BUT THIS FUTURE FICTIONAL DETERMINATION WILL HELP US DELINEATE THAT AND IDENTIFY THAT WE ALSO HAVE STARTED THE FULL DESIGN ON THE BLUFFTON PARKWAY PATHWAY. THERE ARE NO RESIDENCES THAT ARE ON THAT ONE AND BASICALLY THAT'S CONNECTING TWO TO PARTS OF THE PATHWAY THAT PREVIOUSLY WHO WAS LEFT ON CONSTRUCTED.
SO WE FELT IT WAS ADEQUATE TO MOVE FORWARD ON THAT PROJECT. WE ARE ALSO WORKING WITH A CONSULTANT. THIS IS THE MAJOR MOVEMENT ON ALL 14 OF THESE PATHWAYS IS WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR CONSULTANTS TO DEVELOP AN ONLINE MEETING FOR THE OTHER 13 PATHWAYS AS PART OF OUR PROCESS IS TO COME TO THE PUBLIC FORUM AT LEAST TWO TIMES PER PROJECT . SO THIS WILL COUNT AS THE FIRST PUBLIC MEETING SETTING FOR ALL 13 COULD ACTUALLY PLAY TO OUR FAVOR AS FAR AS HAVING AN ONLINE SETTING VERSUS IN-PERSON
SET AND WE'RE ABLE TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE AT ONE TIME. >> SO ONCE WE PUT THIS OUT OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE A WEB SITE READY TO GO AND LIVE FOR THIS PUBLIC MEETING STARTING IN OCTOBER AND WE'LL HAVE THAT OPEN FOR 30 DAYS TO RECEIVE COMMENT.
WE'LL HAVE A PRELIMINARY LAYOUT OF EACH OF THE 14 PATHWAYS AND A PLACE AND MECHANISM FOR COMMENTS TO BE MADE BY THE PUBLIC AND THEN FROM THERE WE'LL CONTINUE JUST OUR NORMAL PROJECT PROCESS AS FAR AS MOVING THEM TO FULL DESIGN AND PERMITTING AND THEN COME BACK TO THE PUBLIC FOR A SECOND ROUND OF COMMENTS BEFORE WE FINALIZE THE DESIGN AND FINAL ON PERMITS. SO THAT IS WHERE WE ARE. I GLADLY TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR JARED MR. CHAIRMAN THERE. GO AHEAD, STU.
>> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. ONE YOU MENTIONED ABOUT RF P..
I ACTUALLY HAD HEARD UNDERSTOOD THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO DIRECTLY TO CONTRACT WITH SOMEBODY THAT WE'RE ALREADY USING. COULD YOU CLARIFY WHETHER WE'RE
ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE AN RFP? >> YES. FOR.
SO WE HAVE AN EXISTING ON CALL CONTRACT ON THAT. WE HAVE THREE ENGINEERS LISTED
[00:55:02]
BUT IT HAS A THRESHOLD OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND HOURS FOR DESIGN PURPOSES.SO UNLESS WE'RE WITHIN THAT THRESHOLD WE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO UTILIZE THAT CONTRACT.
SO BOTH THESE ARE MORE LIKELY CREATED IN THAT AMOUNT. SO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
FULL PROCUREMENT PROCESS. >> IF WE GO DOWN THAT PATH WE WILL HAVE DEFEATED WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT AT COUNCIL ON MONDAY GO IN A WEEK AGO AND WHAT SENATOR DAVIS MENTIONED IS THERE CERTAINLY A SUBSET WHICH WERE IDENTIFIED OF THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO AND WE
OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO DO THEM REASONABLY QUICKLY. >> AND THEN THERE MAY BE A SET OF FOLLOW ON THINGS THAT CAN COME LATER. BUT YOU KNOW, COUNCILMAN RAHMAN, I THOUGHT YOU WERE SPECIFIC TO THE LADIES ALLEN ALL.
FEES FOR THE FOR THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE LOOKING AT TO SEE IF WE NEED LIES EITHER THROUGH OUR ON CALL OR THROUGH AN EXISTING CONTRACT.
TO SAVE US THAT TIME. SO ALTERNATIVE DO YOU STILL HEAR ME?
>> YEP. YEP. WE'RE ONLY ABOUT FOUR MONTHS OUT FROM THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE. SO IF WE TAKE THREE OR FOUR MONTHS TO GET STARTED AND THEN WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING THEN WE'VE MISSED THAT WINDOW.
SO YEAH I THINK YOUR POINT TAKEN TO YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN.
>> YEAH. SO HOW DO WE RESOLVE IT? IT SEEMS TO ME THE WAY TO DO IT IS IS GET GOING WITH THE VENDOR YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT COUNCIL APPROVED AND THEN WHEN YOU ADD SOME OTHER STUFF AND IF IT TAKES YOU TO THE POINT YOU NEEDED RFP YOU KNOW SO BE IT. BUT I THINK WE'RE MISSING THE POINT IF WE DO THAT.
YEAH. LASTLY HOLD THAT. LET ME LET ME LET JARED HAVE A CHANCE TO ADDRESS THAT. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR JARED.
YES. NOTHING WAS I WAS SURE I CAN COMPLY WITH WHAT WE'VE ASKED
LET'S GO ALONG. I WANT TO MAKE CHAIRMAN WE'RE PRETTY FAR INTO THIS MEETING AND WE'RE NOT FAR ENOUGH ACCORDING TO THE AGENDA. SO I WANT TO MOVE ALONG AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN. SO SHORT QUESTIONS PLEASE AND SHORT ANSWERS.
>> GO AHEAD. DO NOT I'M FINISHED. OTHER THAN I THOUGHT THAT ON JENKINS ISLAND THAT ASHLEY IS PART OF THE CIB HAD IDENTIFIED AND EXPLAINED TO ALL THE POWERS BE IN COLUMBIA THAT WE WERE WITHDRAWING THE SUPER STREET SOME SURPRISED THAT WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT OR DFT IS STILL TALKING ABOUT BEST. BUT LET'S MOVE ON.
THANKS. ALL RIGHT. I GUESS WE MOVE ON NOW TO
[9. BLUFFTON PARKWAY 5B UPDATE]
BLUFFTON PARKWAY BY B. WHO WAS GOING TO DO THAT? THAT WOULD ME AS WELL.REAL QUICK LET'S LET'S GET TO BE NICE IF WE CAN. >> SO THIS WAS JUST TO INFORM EVERYONE OF WHERE WE ARE. THIS IS A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN OUT THERE AND I THINK COUNCILMAN PROBLEM AND YOU'VE MENTIONED IT IN A PREVIOUS AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT.
BUT BASICALLY THIS PROJECT GOT STARTED IN 2006 AND THROUGH THAT PROCESS THERE WAS PRELIMINARY DESIGN THAT WAS DEVELOPED ALL THE WAY TO 70 PERCENT RIGHT AWAY PLANS.
>> AND AT THAT POINT FOR WHATEVER REASONS IT WAS POSTPONED AND HELD OFF.
AND THEN LATER IN 2010 IT WAS OPENED UP AGAIN WITH A REVISION TO BE MADE AS FAR AS THE LEFT SIDE THE WEST SIDE APPROACH IN 2013 AND 14 THAT GOT FURTHER DEVELOPED AND THAT APPROACH AGAIN WAS MADE REDESIGNED UP TO THE 70 PERCENT THAT PROJECT WAS HALTED AT THAT PARK AT THAT POINT AND NOTHING NO PROGRESS HAS MADE IN MADE SINCE THAT POINT.
THERE'S BEEN A REQUEST BY THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS.
SO THAT IS HENCE THE REASON LET'S BRING THIS TO COUNCIL AS SPECIFICALLY THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON. HIS REQUEST WAS TO LOOK SPECIFICALLY AT THE APPROACH ON THE WESTERN SIDE AS IT COMES FROM BLUFFTON PARKWAY UP TO BUCK WALTON PARKWAY.
THANKS. DO YOU HAD A QUESTION? WELL, FRANKLY I I UNDERSTAND THE OVERALL FIVE THE WITH THE ISSUE THAT YOUR TABLE MAYBE WE'RE KIND OF MISSING IS THE YEAR THE WEST THE INTERSECTION THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A BUCK WALTER AND BLUFFTON
PARKWAY OR THE WESTERN PORTION . >> THE ISSUE IT'S ON THE TABLE IS THAT THE HOSPITAL I THINK IS BEAUFORT MEMORIAL IS GOING TO BUILD ON THAT SECTION.
>> SECONDLY, WHEN IT WAS REALIGNED, WHEN THE WHOLE THING WAS REALIGNED, THAT
[01:00:02]
INTERSECTION CHANGED A LITTLE BIT. IN FACT, THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON PAID US A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO THE ALIGNMENT AND I THINK THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON HAS WEIGHED IN ON THE PAST THAT THEY'D REALLY LIKE TO SEE US GET THAT PORTION OF IT DONE.SO THE IMMEDIATE ISSUE IS DO WE WANT TO OR NOT WANT TO REDO THAT INTERSECTION, JUST THAT INTERSECTION TO ACCOMMODATE THE HOSPITAL EXPANSION SO THEY GET ON WITH PLANNING THEIR LIVES
AND THIS IS LINGERING. >> MR. YES. MIKE.
THIS IS IN MY DISTRICT AND STU IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. HE AND I HAVE TALKED BOTH REPRESENTED FROM THE HOSPITAL AND I THINK WE NEED TO AS HE SAID, DISSEMINATE TWO THINGS FIVE B AS IN ALL ENCOMPASSING SITUATION. I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON IS THAT INTERSECTION IN THE THE IDIOSYNCRASIES WITH THAT I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S AN APPETITE FOR THE REST OF IT RIGHT NOW.
BUT THAT INTERSECTION IS A KEY AND CRUCIAL PIECE TO BEAUFORT MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND THEIR EXPANSION INTO BLUFFTON. THANKS. I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW TO PROCEED. THE THING THAT WE HAVE NO MONEY FOR THAT SAID, ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT IT'S A PROFIT PROJECT WE NEED BEFORE OUT OF GENERAL REVENUE OR IS IT CAN YOU IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF FUNDING? WHAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON?
JARED I BELIEVE WE HAVE IDENTIFIED FUNDING WE HAVE. >> I THINK IT'S 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS FOR THIS PROJECT AND THAT THOSE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE IN IMPACT FEES.
>> OKAY. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO? WHAT WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP ACTUALLY? I BELIEVE YOU NEED TO MAKE A MOTION TO TO PROCEED TO EXPEND THOSE FUNDS FOR THIS PURPOSE. WELL, DON'T WE HAVE TO SEE DESIGN OR IS THE PLAN ALREADY DONE? SCOTT MARSHALL'S ON THE PHONE FROM FROM TOWN OF BLUFFTON.
SCOTTIE, IF THE PLAN IS HASN'T BEEN DESIGNED YET I DO NOT KNOW THE EXTENT OF THE DESIGN BECAUSE THE PRODUCT'S BEEN ON HELP FOR QUITE SOME TIME AS YOU ALL KNOW, JARED PROBABLY HAS THE MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION WHERE THE PROJECT DESIGN WISE IS THAT SINCE THAT IS A COUNTY
ROADWAY. >> SO I WOULD DEFER TO JARED ON EXACTLY WHERE IT IS WITH REGARD
TO DESIGN. >> WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS A SMALL PORTION OF THE OVERALL PROJECT. AS MR. RODMAN HAS POINTED OUT AND AS MR. COVER HAS ALSO POINTED OUT, IT'S THAT SECTION THAT WILL ALLOW PEOPLE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL TO BUILD THEIR 13 ACRE COMPLEX THAT WILL BRING ABOUT A HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE NEW JOBS AND 44 MILLION DOLLARS IN
CAPITAL INVESTMENT TO THE COUNTY. >> SO PRETTY PRETTY WISE INVESTMENT. OVERALL WE FEEL LIKE IN THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON TO INVEST IN
THAT LITTLE SECTION OF BLUFFTON PARKWAY FOR THE THANKS SCOTT. >> JARED, WHERE ARE WE?
>> SO NOTHING'S BEEN DONE WITH THE DESIGN PLAN SINCE 20 OR 18. SO AT THAT POINT WE HAD A 70 PERCENT PLAN COMPLETE. WE WOULD STILL HAVE TO GO BACK IN REEVALUATE OUR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AS THIS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL. SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE WITH THE DESIGN. WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM THIS COUNCIL, THIS COMMITTEE IN
ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD? >> DO YOU NEED ANY KIND OF AUTHORIZATION OR DO.
IS THAT PART OF THE PROGRAM THAT YOU'RE GOING TO BE YOU'RE GOING TO BE BUSIER THAN YOU THOUGHT IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER? YEAH, I ALREADY FEEL THAT
COMING. >> NO, I THINK WE WOULD NEED AS ASHLEY MENTIONED, A MOTION TO EXPEND THOSE FUNDS AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PROJECT. DO I HAVE MOTION? I WILL, MR. CHAIRMAN, DO I MAKE A GREAT SECOND? OK.
I WOULD LIKE A MOTION THAT WE PROCEED WITH THIS PROJECT USING IMPACT FEES AND MOVE FORWARD IN
AN ORDERLY AND TIMELY MANNER. >> I APPRECIATE THAT. SECOND BY DISTRICT OVER THERE.
YES. THANK. IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION FROM THE COMMITTEE, MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I CAN ADD ONE THING IS IS THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT PROBABLY AT
WILL THIS WILL. >> PEOPLE WILL START SEEING ACTION AFTER THERE'S A NEW COUNCILMAN FOR DISTRICT 7. BUT I WOULD I WOULD STRONGLY ASK SUGGEST THAT THE COUNTY AND THE TOWN WORK TOGETHER TO INFORM THE PUBLIC OF EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS, NOT WHAT IT ISN'T. MR. MARSHALL, I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND OTHER OTHER AREAS THAT
[01:05:05]
THIS IS NOT 5 B IN ITS ENTIRETY. IT IS A SPECIFIC PIECE MAINLY FOR BEFORE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. THAT'S JUST SOMETHING I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THE NEXT COUNCIL WOULD TAKE THAT IN CONSIDERATION MOVING FORWARD. AND I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH. >> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THIS? ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THIS? OKAY, WE'LL GO AHEAD PASS THIS
WITHOUT OBJECTION. >> IF THERE ARE ANY OBJECTIONS, PLEASE SPEAK NOW.
>> FINE. THIS MATTER HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE COMMITTEE.
AND I BELIEVE BECAUSE OF THE PRICE TAG WE HAVE SO FAR IT DOES NOT REQUIRE ADMIN COUNSEL APPROVAL AT THIS POINT IT'S JUST A COMMITTEE APPROVAL. ZACK.
CORRECT. WE WILL CHECK THAT OUT. AND IF IT NEEDS THE SUPER BOWL, WE'LL BRING IT TO THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING. OK.
MOVING ON. GO AHEAD. TWO POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT. SO WE PROBABLY NEED TO HAVE COUNCIL APPROVAL ON THAT.
OK. >> WELL BEFORE DID THE COUNTY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL AND THEN AT THE NEXT EITHER NEXT COUNCIL MEETING OR THE ONE AFTER THAT. LET'S SEE.
THE NEXT IS. OH FINE. WE GET JEFF BRADLEY.
JEFF BRADLEY. HOW ARE YOU DOING, SIR? REPRESENTATIVE BRADLEY FROM THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE HOUSE IS HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL CONVERSION OF
[10. POTENTIAL CONVERSION OF THE EXISTING US 278 BRIDGES OVER MACKAY CREEK AND SKULL CREEK TO A LINEAR PARK]
EXISTING 278 BRIDGES OVER MACKY CREEK AND SKULL CREEK INTO A LINEAR PARK.THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. >> I APPRECIATE IT. I'M DOING VERY WELL AND IT'S GOOD TO SEE ALL THESE SPACES EVEN THOUGH WE'RE NOT HERE TOGETHER IN PERSON.
I DO APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE AND SHARE SOME THOUGHTS ALONG WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO AT LEAST PROMOTE AND MISS JACOBS. WERE YOU ABLE TO GET THE RENDERINGS TO EVERYONE? AND IF I COULD JUST ASK YOU ALL TO SHAKE YOUR HEAD AS IF YOU'VE SEEN THE RENDERINGS OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AS FAR AS THE SKYWAY.
PARK OK, ACTUALLY I JUST GOT A HARD ON GA AGENDA. SO WE HAVE ADDED SEATS TO LOOK AT THEM. THEY WERE ADDED TO OUR AGENDA AND SENT TO EVERY EVERY COMMITTEE MEMBER AND COUNTY COUNCIL THERE ON OUR SITE. NOW OK, GOOD.
THANK YOU. THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY WHAT IT'S GOING TO END UP LOOKING LIKE AS MUCH AS IT IS. WHICH WE TRIED TO PUT SOMETHING ON PAPER TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF OF HOW WE THINK ABOUT THIS IN THE COUNTY AND WE HAVE HAD TREMENDOUS POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON THIS CONCEPT. THE IDEA IS THAT THE 278 QUARTER PROJECT HAD SET THE BRIDGES. AND MY THOUGHT WAS LET'S SAVE THE MONEY FROM TEARING THEM DOWN AND TURN THEM INTO A LINEAR PARK AND IT DOESN'T IT? I CAN RATTLE ON FOR AN HOUR.
I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE WORN OUT AND YOU PROBABLY DON'T WANT ME TO DO THAT.
BUT MY THOUGHT WAS THAT IF WE COULD TURN THIS INTO A PARTICULARLY HUMAN EXPERIENCE IT WOULD BE REALLY GOOD FOR THE COUNTY AND FOR THE FOR THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON, THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD TO HAVE THIS FACILITY STILL AVAILABLE TO US. AND IF YOU LOOK AROUND THE COUNTRY, THERE'S ONLY A FEW PLACES WHERE THEY'VE DONE THIS. I THINK ST. SIMON'S AND BOSTON AND IN DALLAS AND IN NEW YORK WHERE THEY'VE DONE THINGS LIKE THIS AND WOULD LIKE YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR WHAT WE WOULD NEED TO DO TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE A WHOLE LOT OF SENSE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A LOT OF ACTIVITY UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN TRYING TO MAKE HAPPEN.
THANKS, SARAH. SARAH, WOULD YOU DO ME A FAVOR AND BRING THOSE RENDERINGS UP FOR US TO LOOK AT? WHILE WE'RE FINISHING THIS CONVERSATION AND WHILE REPRESENTATIVE BRADLEY IS WRAPPED WRAPPING UP HIS PART OF IT AND MOVING ON TO SOME QUESTIONS I HOPE AT SOME POINT THAT WOULD BE TERRIFIC. FOLKS, IF YOU THINK OF THE BRIDGE SYSTEM IS FOR SECTIONS THE FIRST BEING FROM MOSS CREEK TO JENKINS TO PINCKNEY ISLAND AND THEN NUMBER THREE NUMBER TWO WOULD BE FROM PYGMY ISLAND TO JENKINS ISLAND.
NUMBER THREE WOULD BE FROM JENKINS ISLAND TO PYGMY ISLAND AND THEN FROM PYGMY ISLAND BACK TO MOSS CREEK WOULD BE NUMBER. I THINK THAT SARAH LET'S GO BACK ONE.
ONE MORE PLEASE. ONE MORE BACK THERE. THERE YOU GO.
THAT RENDERING RIGHT THERE, FOLKS IS THE IS A STAB AT WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE IF WE RETAIN
[01:10:04]
BOTH SPACE SPANS NUMBER OF THREE AND FOUR WHICH IS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PAGE IS COMING ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND AND ARE COMING ONTO JENKINS ISLAND AND THEN THE PIECE ON THE RIGHT IS GONE FROM JENKINS ISLAND TO PINKNEY ISLAND AND THIS IS KIND OF WHAT WE HAD ENVISAGED FORTHIS LIGHT LANDSCAPING TO AWAIT ADDING WEIGHT TO THE BRIDGE. >> WE HAVE LOOKED AT A CIVIL ENGINEER. WE'VE HAD A CIVIL ENGINEER TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PROJECT AND THEY THINK THAT THE LOAD OF THE BRIDGE COULD HANDLE THIS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.
NOW THAT'S NOT THAT'S NOT A FULL STUDY, FOLKS. SO WE DON'T WE HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH ANY OF THAT PROCESS YET . WANTED TO FIND OUT WHAT YOUR APPETITE FOR THIS PROJECT WAS AND INTEREST IN IT IS BEFORE WE SPEND TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY LOOKING AT IT. BUT LET ME SHARE WITH YOU THE FEW NUMBERS THAT WE DO HAVE.
>> THE WE HAD A BRIDGE DEMOLITION COMPANY IN MICHIGAN. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE ABOUT TWENTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS TO TEAR THIS THING DOWN. SO IF WE COULD SAVE SOME PORTION OF THAT WE'D BE IN WE'D BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE. WE THINK THAT WE CAN CONSTRUCT THIS BETWEEN TWO AND A HALF AND FIVE MILLION DOLLARS AND WE THINK THAT WE ARE SOMEWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF A FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR ANNUAL EXPENDITURE TO MAINTAIN IT. NOW MY VISION WAS IF WE COULD TAKE SOME OF THE SAVINGS THAT WE DON'T SPEND TEARING THE BRIDGE DOWN AND PUT IT IN SOME SORT OF MAINTENANCE TRUST FUND, WE COULD PROBABLY EARN ENOUGH TO COVER THE ANNUAL COST MAINTENANCE WHICH I'D LIKE LIKE TO CONSIDER THAT IN THE PROCESS.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE PARTICULARLY HELPFUL AND WOULD TAKE A LONG TERM BURDEN OFF THE COUNTY IF WE COULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT CHAIR. I AGAIN I COULD RATTLE ON FOR A LONG TIME. WELL ARE THERE ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL MIGHT
HAVE? I HAVE ONE. >> IT WOULD BE HELPFUL I THINK IN THE RENDERING THAT WE'VE GOT TO HAVE AN OVERLAY OF THE OF THE VARIOUS PROPOSALS LIKELY SOLUTIONS TO OUR PROBLEM THAT DFT HAS RECOGNIZED SO FAR LIKELY SCENARIO ONE THROUGH SIX A WHATEVER IT IS WE'VE GOT THESE DAYS AND KIND OF SHOW WHERE THEY ARE AND IN RELATION TO THIS BECAUSE IF YOU KNOW SOME OF THE PROPOSALS THAT WE HAVE REALLY REQUIRE THAT THE BRIDGES BE DECONSTRUCTED AND THEY'LL BE BASICALLY THE NEW BRIDGES WOULD BE RIGHT OR RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF WHERE THESE ARE. AND SO THAT WOULD BE WOULD BE A REAL PROBLEM BEFORE THIS SOLUTION. BUT I HAVE TO TELL YOU IT, JEFF, THIS IS REALLY INTRIGUING TO ME AND I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND TO HAVE ALL THAT CONCRETE AND THOSE PILINGS END UP IN A LANDFILL SOMEWHERE OR AT THE BOTTOM OF SKULL CREEK REALLY, REALLY BOTHERS ME.
AND SO I LIKE THIS AS A POTENTIAL SOLUTION. AND I WANT TO EXPLORE IT.
ME PERSONALLY HOW DID THE REST OF THE I'LL FEEL ABOUT IT. IT SOUNDED LIKE YOU HAD.
YES. PLEASE GO AHEAD. THANK YOU, REPRESENTATIVE
BRADLEY. >> I REALLY I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU DOING THIS.
THIS IS THIS IS QUITE A CONCEPT. I HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS I'M GOING LIAM ALL OUT THERE AND YOU CAN TAKE THEM AS AS YOU WANT.
FIRST THING IS I HAVE A CONCERN THAT IS IS THERE OR WOULD THERE BE A PROBLEM BECAUSE I THINK MAYBE BRIAN WAS ALLUDING TO THIS. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE FEDERAL STATE DOLLARS INVOLVED AND IT WAS IT WAS FOR A PARTICULAR THING TO BE DONE AND PART OF THAT THING TO BE DONE WAS DECONSTRUCTION OR DEMOLITION BY DOING THIS, WOULD THAT JEOPARDIZE THOSE FEDERAL OR STATE FUNDS SINCE WE'RE CHANGING THE SCOPE OF WORK? THE SECOND THING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS, YOU KNOW, WERE IN MY OPINION FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE REMOVAL OF A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CONCRETE BLAH BLAH BLAH MAKING UP OF THESE BRIDGES. IT DURATION IF THAT CONCRETE IS LEFT ALONG WITH THE NEW CONCRETE IT IF YOU IF YOU FOLLOW WHERE I'M GOING WITH THAT I'M SURE THERE IS. IS THERE A WHOLE OTHER ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS AND ALL THAT
[01:15:01]
KIND OF STUFF NEEDS TO BE DONE. MY THIRD THING IS I'M CONCERNED ABOUT PARKING FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR IT GOES. SO BOTH SIDES ARE ONE SIDE OR WHATEVER PARKING I THINK IS IN ACCESS. I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD NEED TO BE DISCUSSED. AND THEN MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU AGAIN, MR. BRADLEY.MR. CHAIRMAN, DID WE DID WE PAY FOR THIS STUDY OR DID THE STATE.
>> NO. OK. ONE PARTNERS BASICALLY PRO BONO
I PAID FOR PORTION OF WOODEN PARTNERS. >> I WAS JUST I WAS BUT I MISSED SOMETHING. BUT THOSE THOSE CONCERNS ARE WHAT COME UP TO MINE RIGHT OFF THE BAT. MR. CHAIR, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO TRY TO ADDRESS THOSE? PLEASE DO. OK. THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS
JEOPARDIZING THE FUNDING. >> WE ARE IN A UNIQUE SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE WE MIGHT HAVE TO GO BACK AND IMPLEMENT SOME SORT OF STRATEGIC LEGISLATION TO MAKE MAKE THIS AVAILABLE.
HAPPY TO DO THAT. THE DELEGATION HAS CONTINUED TO AGE AND SENIORITY AND WE MIGHT
BE ABLE TO PULL OFF WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO DO THAT. >> SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCEPT IS ABSOLUTELY LEGITIMATE. BUT I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY WORK AROUNDS FOR THAT AND WE THINK WE COULD PROBABLY BUILD ENOUGH OF A COALITION TO MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN. THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT POSITIVE FEEDBACK THAT WE'VE RECEIVED
EVEN FROM THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. >> THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
YES, I THINK THAT IS THE LARGEST, LONGEST TERM RISK. BUT THIS ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN UNTIL SEVEN YEARS OUT. SO WE HAVE LOTS OF TIME TO WORK ON THIS AND I THINK THAT IT ACTUALLY WE HAVE TO PETITION THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR SOME TYPE OF ASSISTANCE WITH THIS CONCEPT AND I AM PERFECTLY WILLING TO TAKE ON THAT TASK AND AND SHOULDER THAT WORK.
MIKE, IF IF THE COUNTY IS INTERESTED IN THIS BECAUSE AS I WAS TOLD THAT THE COUNTY HAD TO
TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT BEFORE THE TOWN. >> I MEAN BEFORE THE DOJ COULD ADDRESS THE SITUATION OR YOU KNOW, MAYBE IT'S A CHICKEN AND EGG THING WHICH WHICHEVER COMES
FIRST. >> BUT WE AS A COUNTY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT IN ORDER TO MAKE THE PROJECT HAPPEN. AND IF THE COUNTY DOESN'T WANT IT, I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF IT. BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT THE DEAL IS ALLOW ME TO DO THAT. SO AND AS FAR AS PARKING IS CONCERNED, THERE'S A COUPLE OF IDEAS THAT ARE FLOATING AROUND AT THIS POINT. THERE IS PROPERTY AVAILABLE VACANT PROPERTY AVAILABLE ON OPPOSITE WINDMILL HARBORS ENTRANCE ON JENKINS ISLAND THAT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF ACTUALLY UNUSED LAND THERE.
AND THEN MIKE, MY CIVIL ENGINEER SUGGESTED THAT IF WE RETAIN THE PIECE THAT IS IN THE THE CAUSEWAY IN THE MARSH THAT'S GOING FROM EAST TO WEST WHAT I REFERRED TO AS SECTION NUMBER FOUR YOU COULD DO ANGLED PARKING ON ONE SIDE OF THAT ROAD FOR ALMOST A MILE IF YOU IF WE HAD TO. BUT I. THERE'S SOME WE ARE IN NEED OF PARKING ON THE BLUFFTON SIDE. THAT WAS ONE SOLUTION THAT WAS PROFFERED TO ME SO FAR THAT.
AND AGAIN THE IDEA I KNOW IT'S A BIT OF A DISTANCE TO GET TO THE PART WHERE YOU'RE SEEING HERE AND THE RENDERING BUT THE WHOLE CONCEPT IS A TOTAL OF ABOUT 60 400 LINEAR FEET OF POTENTIAL PARK. SO FOLKS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WALK.
I MEAN BUT THAT'S PART OF WHAT THE WHOLE CONCEPT IS ALL ABOUT. SURE.
AND THAT'S PART OF THE EXPERIENCE. >> YEAH, EXACTLY.
SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WE CAN GET TO REPRESENTATIVE BRADLEY?
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, WOULD THIS NOT BE A SUBJECT OF THE INDEPENDENT REVIEW? NO, I THINK THIS IS REALLY A SEPARATE MATTER THAT THAT QUITE FRANKLY IS SO IT'S IN SUCH
INFANCY AT THIS POINT THAT THEY'RE REALLY WHAT WE SHOULD. >> WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HAPPEN IS A MOTION FROM SOMEONE ON THE COMMITTEE AND A VOTE TO SAY YEAH TO ASK THAT THIS THIS POTENTIAL PARK BE INVESTIGATED. THERE ARE THE POTENTIAL FOR A PARK BEING INVESTIGATED AND REPORT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE AT AN APPROPRIATE TIME TO LAY OUT A TIMELINE AND POTENTIAL
[01:20:04]
BUDGETING IN THE OWNERSHIP OF SOME OF THE PARK AND YOU KNOW POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS FOR SOME ENGINEERING PROBLEMS. AND CONCEPTS TO SEE HOW IT FITS INTO THE OVERALL BRIDGE PROJECT. IS THAT DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD HANDLE IT, JEFF? IS THAT WOULD THAT BE WHAT YOU'D LOOK FOR THAT WOULD BE A GREAT START.>> MR. CHAIR, IF YOU GUYS HAD AN INTEREST IN IT, I COULD I COULD TAKE THE HANDLE ON THAT AND MOVE THE BALL FORWARD A LITTLE BIT. THAT'S THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
WE'RE LOOKING FOR. >> BECAUSE YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT IF SOMEONE WERE TO COME AND SAY THIS TODAY, THERE ARE SO MANY QUESTIONS THAT HAVE TO SAY NO.
BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU I REALLY LIKE THIS CONCEPT. I REALLY WANT TO INVESTIGATE IT A LITTLE MORE BECAUSE I SEE IT AS A SOLUTION TO SOME POTENTIAL PROBLEMS AND MAYBE BRINGING SOME MORE PROBLEMS ON. BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S PART OF THE ART OF GOVERNING.
SO GO AHEAD. YES. I'D LIKE TO SAY ONE OTHER THING BEFORE I THINK WHAT YOU GUYS ARE FACED WITH WITH THIS DECISION AND I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S NOT NOT EVEN TODAY BUT THAT MAYBE THE PUBLIC FACILITIES COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE FACED WITH. BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO THINK IN TERMS OF HOW LONG THIS MIGHT LAST RIGHTS COULD ACTUALLY BE MULTIGENERATIONAL VALUE TO THE PEOPLE OF BEAUFORT COUNTY AND THAT THAT REALLY IS A UNIQUE, UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE IN THE PRESENT TO REALLY BRING THIS BRINGS SOMETHING LIKE THIS FORWARD.
THIS COULD GO ON FOR 100 YEARS . IF YOU LOOK AT THE BRIDGE THAT'S IN FLORENCE, ITALY RIGHT NOW THAT'S BEEN IN USE FOR FOUR OR FIVE HUNDRED YEARS.
>> SO I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH THAT, JEFF. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE VERY KEEN ON AND ON AT LEAST THE COUNTY LEVEL AND I'M SURE ALL OF OUR MUNICIPALITIES ARE ARE AGREED WITH OUR NATURAL SURROUNDING THE VIEWS THAT WE HAVE ARE OF CRITICAL IMPORTANCE TO US. WE LOSE PART OF OURSELVES IF WE LOSE THOSE VIEWS AND TO OPEN UP AND ACCESS TO SOMETHING LIKE THE VIEW OF SKUNK BEAR CREEK IS I'M EXCITED BY I ACTUALLY HAVE GOOSE BUMPS RIGHT NOW. JEFF, IS THERE ANYBODY WOULD LIKE THAT MOTION TO.
>> IS THERE ANYBODY WHO WOULD MAKE A MOTION? >> YEAH, I WOULD, MR. CHAIRMAN.
GO AHEAD. BUT LET ME MAKE A COMMENT FIRST.
I ACTUALLY THINK THAT OUR MOTION OUGHT TO BE ON THE ORDER THAT WE ENCOURAGE D O T TO EVALUATE THIS AS PART OF THE PROCESS. AND THE REASON I SAY THAT IS THERE MAY BE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING THAT.
SO IF THERE ARE SOME MINOR IMPACTS WE'RE BETTER OFF TO GET IT IN NOW SUPPOSED TO COME BACK LATER ON. SECOND, I THINK YOU CAN MAKE THAT PART YOU COULD MAKE THAT
CERTAINLY MAKE THE PART. >> SO IT WOULD BE ENCOURAGED DOJ TO EVALUATE THIS AS ENVIRONMENTALLY IMPACT AND ENCOURAGE STAFF TO INVESTIGATE THIS AS A POTENTIAL PARK UTILIZING THE EXISTING SPANS OVER MACKEY'S CREEK AND SKULL. GREAT.
>> JUST EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT I WAS GOING TO SAY SOMETHING ALMOST EXACTLY
LIKE THAT. >> IS THERE A SECOND? I'LL SECOND THAT.
MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. MACALLAN. I DO APPRECIATE THAT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THIS COMMENT?
>> MR. CHAIRMAN, IF I COULD. GO AHEAD. FORGETTING THIS INTO THE MIX WITH THAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT IT IS A SIZABLE PORTION OF THE SAVINGS CAN COME FROM REDUCING THE WIDTH OF THE BRIDGES BECAUSE WE'LL TAKE THE PEDESTRIAN OFF HIS BICYCLE THAT'S OFF. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING. STONE TERRIBLE UP.
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK JEFF'S LOOKING AT I DON'T KNOW 20, 30 MILLION DOLLARS OF TECHNICAL SAVINGS AND THE REAL ISSUE IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO YOU KNOW, ARE WE AS A COUNTY PREPARED TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE OWNERSHIP AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT THAT MEANS. BUT I THINK JEFF'S JEFF BRADLEY'S ABSOLUTELY ON THE RIGHT TRACK WITH THIS. SO YES, OTHER QUESTIONS, OK?
>> HE'S SAYING NONE. I'M GOING TO MAKE AN ASSUMPTION THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO THIS WITHOUT OBJECTION. ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS THAT ARE GOING TO BE BROUGHT FORWARD
ON THIS MOTION? >> OK. >> THEREFORE THE MOTION IS APPROVED AND I BELIEVE THIS IS WITHIN OUR RESPONSIBILITY AND WE COULD GO FORWARD IF STAFF BELIEVES THAT COUNTY COUNCIL APPROVAL IS NECESSARY THEN PLEASE BRING IT FORWARD AT THE
NEXT COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING. >> I ASK ONE QUICK GUESS ONE FAVOR WHEN YOU GUYS TYPE OUT WHATEVER THE MOTION IS AND IT BECOMES FORMAL. CAN I GET SOMEBODY TO FORWARD A
[01:25:07]
COPY OF THAT TO ME? OH ABSOLUTELY. I GET IT.WOULDN'T IT ALL SARA IF YOU'LL DO THAT AND SEND IT TO ME FIRST THING.
JERRY IF YOU THINK NECESSARY OR HAVE ASHLEY SIGN IT AS AS OUR DEPUTY, WE DO APPRECIATE THAT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING, JEFF. OK.
GOT A MISSING BOY PANEL. THANK YOU ALL. YOU'RE A VERY BUSY GUY.
SO YOU'RE EXCUSED, SIR. YOU ARE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
TAKE CARE. APPRECIATE SEEING EVERYBODY. APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.
>> GOOD TALKING TO YOU. THANKS. AT THIS TIME IT'S APPROPRIATE
[11. SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING CENTER UPDATE]
FOR US TO TALK SOUND WASTE RECYCLING CENTER UPDATE INCLUDING DECALS AND POTENTIAL ISSUES REGARDING HILTON HEAD FUNDING AND CLOSING OF THE PRITCHARD VAL AND GATE CENTERS.WHAT ELSE WE GOT? WHO IS THAT GOING TO BE CINDY? I THINK I'M GOING TO START CINDY. HOW ARE YOU? I'M DOING WELL.
HOW ARE YOU? GOOD, GOOD, GOOD. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WHAT DO YOU GOT? I JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME UPDATES AND REMINDERS OF SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED. WE'RE IN A TRANSITION PERIOD NOW. OCTOBER 1ST IS GOING TO BRING SOME OF OUR FIRST WAVE OF CHANGES IF YOU REMEMBER OUR OPERATING HOURS FOR THE CONVENIENCE CENTERS ARE GOING TO GO FROM SEVEN THIRTY A.M. TO 6:00 P.M. INSTEAD 7:00 AND THE DATES OF OPERATION FOR SOME OF THE CENTERS ARE GOING TO CHANGE. SO IN YOUR PACKET AND ALL THE SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING WEB SITE WE HAVE A SLIDE THAT SUMMARIZE THOSE CHANGES.
WE ARE ON SCHEDULE WITH EVERYTHING JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, I WANTED TO REMIND YOU THAT THE DECALS THEMSELVES ARE FREE OF CHARGE. WE WILL BE HAVING A MEETING WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT AGAIN TOMORROW TO GET THOSE INITIAL PRESS RELEASES OUT ABOUT THE TIME CHANGES AND THE DAYS OF OPERATION CHANGES.
MY GUESS IS THEY'LL PROBABLY USE THIS SLIDE THAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW MAYBE ON OUR FACEBOOK PACE FACEBOOK PAGE. AND WE'VE ALSO SCHEDULED SOME INTERVIEWS WITH W H H I THAT WILL AIR OBVIOUSLY WE'LL BE DOING SOMETHING ON THE COUNTY CHANNEL AS WELL.
OUR NEW BUSINESS MANAGER IS SET UP AND READY TO GO WITH REGISTRATIONS.
WE'VE DEVELOPED THE FINAL POSTCARDS THAT WE DISCUSS TO GATHER THE INFORMATION.
WE'VE GOT A TIPS BROCHURE THAT'S FINALIZED THE BARCODE ITSELF.
THE DETAIL IS GOING TO BE A THREE BY THREE. IT WILL HAVE A NUMBERING SYSTEM THERE AND IS WE'RE GETTING THE FINAL QUOTES PROCUREMENT SETUP FOR THOSE ITEMS. WE'RE CONTINUE TO HAVE OUR MEETINGS EACH WEEK. NOW INSTEAD OF FILING INSTEAD OF BIWEEKLY, WE'RE DOING IT WEEKLY NOW WITH OUR I.T. STAFF AS WE'RE MOVING FORWARD.
THEY'VE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE SCANNERS. THEY'RE TESTING IT.
WE'VE GOT ALL OF OUR AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT READY. WE'VE ALSO PURCHASED FOR JUST HANDHELD CAMERAS TO HELP WITH OUR ATTENDANCE AT THE BIGGER CENTERS.
ANGEL, WE'LL BE ASSIGNING THESE NUMBERS THROUGH THE SHAREPOINT INFORMATION.
SO EACH ONE OF THE DEKALB NUMBERS, WHETHER YOU GET A HARD DETAIL OR YOU GET AN ELECTRONIC COW WILL BE TIED TO YOUR ISLAND PROPERTY NUMBER AS A REMINDER WE ARE GOING TO BE CLOSING THE CENTERS AT GATE AND PRITCHARD VAIL DECEMBER 30 FIRST. HOWEVER IF YOU UTILIZE THOSE TWO CENTERS YOU MAY USE THOSE TWO CENTERS TO REGISTER FOR THE DECALS FOR WHEN YOU'LL BE GOING AND USING A DIFFERENT CENTER. IF YOU REMEMBER BACK IN AUGUST WE POSTED THE SIGNS AT ALL OF THE CENTERS FOR THEIR PARTICULAR OPERATING DAYS AND THE NEW TIMES THAT WILL BE COMING UP OCTOBER 1ST. THE SLIDE THAT YOU'RE SEEING IS ON OUR WEB SITE.
I THINK I MENTIONED THAT BUT THE OLD INFORMATION IS STILL ON THE WEB SITE NOW FOR ANYBODY THAT'S CURRENTLY USING THOSE CENTERS AND WE'LL HAVE A TRANSITION AT THE END OF THE MONTH TO UPDATE THE OLD DATA AND GO FOR THIS NEW INFORMATION .
EACH OF THE ELEVEN CENTERS ARE GOING TO HAVE THE POSTCARDS AVAILABLE.
THERE'LL BE A COLLECTION BOX AT THOSE CENTERS AND WE'VE DECIDED THAT WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY HAVE STAFF GO OUT TO THE CENTERS THAT WE CAN ASSIST PEOPLE THAT HAVE DIFFICULTY IN DOING THEIR REGISTRATIONS. LET'S SEE WE'RE GOING TO BE ATTENDING ARE DOING OUR ATTENDANT TRAINING AND THE INITIAL TESTING ARE GOING TO BE DONE IN LIKE IN NOVEMBER AND ASK QUESTIONS SURFACE. AND AS WE GO THROUGH OUR PROCESS THIS IS A NEW PROGRAM.
[01:30:01]
SO WE'RE MAKING UP A FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO POST.AND IF THERE'S ANY OTHER QUESTIONS THE HOURS, THE SCHEDULES OR THE DEKALB.
I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TRY TO ANSWER THOSE NOW MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE A QUESTION.
>> I TYPED IT OUT TO EVERYONE. GO AHEAD. >> THE LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THIS AND SO I'VE GOTTEN A LOT OF COMMENTS FROM QUESTIONS FROM MUNICIPAL RESIDENTS WHO WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE THE DROP OFF CENTERS. WILL THEY BE ABLE TO?
>> YES, MA'AM. NOW IF THEY ARE A PROPERTY OWNER IN BEAUFORT COUNTY, THEY CAN CONTINUE TO USE THOSE CENTERS THAT MAY COME INTO PLAY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT FEES LATER. BUT FOR NOW THEY CAN REGISTER. YES.
>> MR. CHAIR, THANKS. THE CHAIRMAN I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
WHEN YOU INDICATE THAT IF THEY ARE PROPERTY OWNERS IN BEAUFORT COUNTY THEY CAN USE THESE CENTERS. DO BUSINESS PROPERTY OWNERS QUALIFY TO USE THESE CENTERS IF IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS OWNER OR NO YOU ARE NOT PART OF OUR RESIDENTIAL SERVICE.
>> OKAY. SO THE CONVENIENCE CENTERS ARE FOR FOUR RESIDENTS.
WELL, I THINK ALL THE RESIDENTS ALL THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY, WHEREVER THESE THREATENED CLOSURES ARE PENDING ON HIGH ALERT AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.
WILL ALL OF THE CONVENIENCE CENTERS HAVE A PROHIBITION AGAINST CONSTRUCTION AND
DEMOLITION DEBRIS AND LANDSCAPE YARD WASTE? >> NO, SIR, NOT AT THIS TIME.
WILL ANY OF THEM HAVE THAT? >> NO, SIR. AT THIS TIME.
BUT MR. MCCALLUM, THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS WITH YOU ALL AND YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ABOUT THAT BECAUSE THIS IS HOW WE WOULD FUND THE HELPING HAND
FLIGHT, RIGHT? >> YES, I UNDERSTAND THAT. NOW JUST ANOTHER CONSIDERATION THERE. OF COURSE IF WE ELIMINATE THE ABILITY TO DROP OFF THESE ITEMS, THERE IS A LICENSING PENDING FOR AUBURN NATURE TO PUT IN A TRANSFER STATION RIGHT DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE HOLT CONVENIENCE CENTER AND OF COURSE THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT FOR FREE. THEY'RE GOING TO CHARGE PEOPLE TO MAKE THOSE DROPS.
SO THE FACT THAT THEY'LL BE A LOT OF RESISTANCE TO ANY ACTION WE MAY TAKE TO CANCEL THOSE COMPANIES FOR MAKING THOSE DROPS. BUT OF COURSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE REALLY GOING TO REDUCE THE COST THERE ALONG WITH THE DEKALB SYSTEM.
SO WE ARE REACHING A CRITICAL MASS HERE IN PARTICULAR ON HILTON HEAD BECAUSE IT APPEARS THE FUNDING HAS STOPPED AS OF DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST. SO IF THE CENTER CLOSES COMPLETELY THEN THERE WILL BE NOWHERE FOR THE RESIDENTS TO GO AND NOWHERE FOR THE BUSINESSES WHO ARE CUSTOM GOING TO GO ASSUMING AUBURN NATURE MAY NOT OPEN THAT QUICKLY.
THEY WOULD HAVE TO THEN GO OUT TO HICKORY HILL TO MAKE THOSE DROPS.
THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF CONFUSION AND AN AWFUL LOT OF UNSETTLED ISSUES HERE THAT WE HAVE TO RESOLVE. AND I'M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHEN WE WILL BE DOING THAT BECAUSE WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. YES, SIR. AND THAT'S WHY THIS THIS ITEM IS ON THE AGENDA FOR TODAY BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO MAKE A DECISION VERY QUICKLY WHO WE
HOOVER. >> MR. CHAIRMAN, GO AHEAD. CINDY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
OUT HERE, PRITCHARD. BILL, THE TEMPERATURE START TO COME DOWN A LITTLE BIT.
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE IT BUT THEY'RE THERE. THEY'RE WARMING UP TO IT.
I'M FIELDING CALLS FROM MY DISTRICT AS WELL AS CHAIRMAN PARLIAMENT'S.
THE QUESTION I HAVE IS IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT PROPERTY OWNERS WILL BE MAILED ONE D CAL AND THEN PHYSICALLY THEN THEY'LL HAVE A D CAL LIKE A SMARTPHONE IS.
IS THAT CORRECT? YES, SIR. >> THAT'S AN OPPORTUNITY YOU WON'T WANT TO USE ARE MULTIPLES? YES.
OK. >> THAT LEADS ME TO MY NEXT THING I'VE HEARD SEVERAL PEOPLE SAY WELL HARRY TAKES THE TRASH ON MONDAY AND I TAKE IT ON THURSDAY THAT WHEN WE DRIVE TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES CAN THEY HAVE MORE THAN ONE LITTLE DISCOUNT?
>> IT'LL BE ONE DAY PER PROPERTY OWNER BUT THEY CAN HAVE MULTIPLE ELECTRONIC
DETAILS. ALL RIGHT. >> THEN THE QUESTION COMES UP A LOT OF FOLKS IN MY DISTRICT AND CHAIRMAN PARSIMONY ARE VERY EXPERIENCED IN THEIR AGE BRACKET AND THEY DON'T HAVE SMARTPHONES THAT USE A FLIP PHONE IF THEY HAVE ONE.
ARE WE MAKING ANY KIND CONSIDERATION TO TO DO THAT? EXPERIENCED CITIZEN?
[01:35:01]
NOT AT THIS TIME, BUT WE CAN ALWAYS RE VISIT THAT IF THAT BECOMES A BIG CONCERN.>> OK. >> I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION ABOUT THE USE OF SMARTPHONES.
WILL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DECALS ON THEIR SMARTPHONES HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRANSFER THOSE TO
OTHER SMARTPHONES? >> YES, THERE ARE ALL THOSE STILL TIED TO THAT ONE A NUMBER AT THE PROPERTY LOCATION. SO THE OTHER RESTRICTIONS ON THE AMOUNT OF TIMES A HIGH END
CAN ENTER THE PROPERTY. >> NOT AT THIS TIME. SO THEY WERE TO GIVE OUT THOSE
THINGS TO FIVE OTHER PEOPLE. >> EVERYBODY COULD COME IN WITH THAT AT&T CAL IF THERE'S NO LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF TIMES THEY CAN ENTER. IS THAT RIGHT? INITIALLY WE COULD STILL TRACK THAT THAT MANY TRIPS WAS COMING TO THAT ONE PROPERTY LOCATION
RIGHT. >> BUT YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT BACK IN AUGUST OR EARLIER LIMITING PEOPLE'S VISITS AND THAT'S NOT ON THE TABLE RIGHT NOW.
OK, I CAN TELL IF I COULD I CAN TELL YOU, LARRY, THAT ANYBODY WHO'S COME IN TO THE CONVENIENCE CENTER FIVE TIMES IN ONE WEEK IS GONNA GET A A KNOCK ON DOOR BY OUR TRIAL HORN AND HIS DEPUTY. THEY WEAR A BADGE THESE DAYS AND IT'S GOING TO BE IT'S GONE.
THERE ARE GONNA BE SOME QUESTIONS ASKED AND IF APPROPRIATE RESPONSES AREN'T GIVEN IN APPROPRIATE RULES AREN'T FOLLOWED. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY'RE PASSING THEM OUT TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T DESERVE IT OR TO COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES WHO AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE USED IN ANY WAY WILL FIND AN APPROPRIATE RESOLUTION FOR THAT.
OKAY. OKAY. AND ASHLEY ASHLEY STATED THAT THE REASON THIS IS ON THE AGENDA TODAY IS WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS.
AND SO I'LL RENEW MY QUESTION IN PARTICULAR SINCE THE FUNDING IS ENDING HERE DECEMBER 30 FIRST WHEN WILL WE BE ADDRESSING THE PARTICULAR ISSUES RELATED TO THE CONVENIENCE CENTER ON HILTON HEAD SINCE IT WILL NOT BE OPEN AFTER DECEMBER 30 FIRST?
>> RIGHT. RIGHT. AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE PAGE THAT'S ON YOUR SCREEN, I HOPE YOU CAN SEE THAT HE'S SEVERAL OPTIONS FOR REGARDING HILTON HEAD AND SENDING YOU IN TO WALK EVERYONE THROUGH THAT. YES.
>> THE FIRST OPTION IS OBVIOUSLY TO CLOSE THE HILTON HEAD CENTER AND LET IT ANY RESIDENT ON THE ISLAND DOES NOT ALREADY HAVE A CURBSIDE CARRIER CHOOSE THEIR OWN.
WE HAVE ABOUT 10 PERMITTED WASTE HAULERS IN BEAUFORT COUNTY.
FOUR OF THAT IS ARE VERY PREVALENT ON THE ISLAND. AND RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ABOUT SIXTEEN DOLLARS A MONTH FOR YOU TO HAVE CURBSIDE SERVICE AT YOUR RESIDENCE.
SO IF WE CLOSE THE CENTER YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE YOUR OWN CARRIER AND MAKE YOUR OWN
DECISIONS. >> SO THAT'S REALLY THE CHEAPEST OPTION FOR HOUSEHOLDS THAT DON'T ALREADY HAVE SERVICE. THE SECOND OPTION IS TO WORK WITH HILTON HEAD. WE CLOSE THE CENTER BUT WE ASSIST THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD WITH AN RFP. SO THAT THEY WOULD PROVIDE CURBSIDE PROBABLY WITH ONE PREFERRED CALLER THEY COULD CHOOSE MORE IF THEY WANTED AND WE WOULD MANAGE THAT SYSTEM FOR
THEM. >> THE PROBLEM COMES IS THAT WOULD TAKE SOME TIME.
>> I THINK BY THE TIME WE COULD PUT OUT AN RFP CHOOSE A HAULER. I DON'T THINK THAT COULD BE IN PLACE BEFORE JULY 1ST. I MIGHT BE WRONG. THAT WOULD BE MY BEST GUESS.
AND THEN THE THIRD OPTION IS OBVIOUSLY TO LEAVE THE CENTER OPEN FOR JUST HOUSEHOLD TRASH AND RECYCLE. LIMIT THE VISITS TO TWO A WEEK AND TAKE OUT ALL CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION WASTE THAT COMES INTO THE CENTER AND ONLY GUIDED WASTE.
>> YEAH YARD YARD WASTE WOULD HAVE TO BE IT WOULD BE COMMERCIAL YARD WASTE.
YEAH I THINK RATHER THAN A TRUNK FULL OF LEAVES. NO I DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S DOING THAT ANYWAY. I LIKE NUMBER THREE CURBSIDE SERVICE FOR THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE SIXTEEN DOLLARS SEEMS REASONABLE BUT IT IS AN EXPENSE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE PRESENTLY.
AND THE REAL ISSUE BECOMES CURBSIDE SERVICE IS NOT PERMITTED IN ABOUT 20 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ON HILTON HEAD BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO MOVE YOUR CONTAINERS OUT OF
YOUR SERVICE YARD FOR PICKUP. SO HOW DO WE ADDRESS THAT? >> WELL, WHEN WE PUT THE RFP OUT ON ORIGINALLY FOR UNINCORPORATED BEAUFORT COUNTY, THE PEOPLE THAT BID ON THAT RFP
BASICALLY HAD A SURCHARGE FOR BACKDOOR SERVICE. >> YEAH, OK, I GOT THAT.
HOW MUCH WOULD THAT ADD TO IT? YOU KNOW, SANDY, IT WAS A COUPLE OF DOLLARS BUT NO, THOSE
FIGURES PROBABLY ARE NOT STILL PERMANENT. >> IT'S USUALLY ABOUT TWENTY FOUR DOLLARS A MONTH FOR SERVICE YARD PICKUP THAT A LOT OF THE NEIGHBORHOODS HERE USED
[01:40:05]
. WELL, I LIKE YOUR PRESENTATION OPTIONS.I JUST THINK THAT WE NEED TO PROBABLY MOVE THIS ALONG AND COME TO SOME CONCLUSION ABOUT ACCESS A NUMBER OF TIMES THAT YOU CAN ACCESS AND WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE FOR PEOPLE PARTICULARLY IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO FORWARD WITH FUNDING THIS AS OF JANUARY 1ST BECAUSE EVERYBODY HERE IS IN A STATE OF EXTREMELY HIGH ALERT AND GROWING EXTREMELY RESENTFUL BY
THE DAY. >> I THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME CLEAR ON THIS PRETTY QUICK TO STOP THIS RISING TIDE OF ANTAGONISM THAT SEEMS TO BE BUILDING IF YOU GO BACK TO THE GULF SMITH REPORT WHAT WE ORIGINALLY HAVE ASKED FOR WOULD BE TO LIMIT NOT JUST HILTON
HEADS BUT ALL THE CENTERS TO TWO TIMES A WEEK. >> RIGHT.
AND AND AND ALSO TAKE OUT THE CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION STRAIN FROM ALL OF THE CENTERS . YEAH, I WOULD SAY US A LOT OF MONEY.
>> NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. AND I THINK TWO TIMES A WEEK UNLESS SOMEONE HAS STARTED A SMALL ENTREPRENEURIAL OPERATION IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH A LITTLE PICKUP TRUCK, THOSE WOULD BE THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO BE GOING THERE MORE THAN THAT I SUPPOSE ON OCCASION SOMEONE MAY HAVE TO GO THREE TIMES IF THEY WERE DOING SOME SPRING CLEANING OR SOMETHING BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM JUST SO LONG AS IT'S IF IT'S CLEAR.
BUT DO IT FAST. THE FACILITY HAS TO BE AVAILABLE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF WE HAVE ALL THESE RULES AND ALL THE OTHER FACILITIES IF ONE YEAR CLOSES JANUARY 1ST AND THAT'S MY BIG CONCERN. SO I EXPECT WE'LL JUST MOVE THIS ALONG AND THAT WILL COME TO A CONCLUSION ON THIS SOMETIMES BEFORE THANKSGIVING
SO WE CAN TELL EVERYONE. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. I WANT TO STRONGLY RECOMMEND OPTION NUMBER THREE LEAVING THE CENTER OPEN AND THEN LIMITING THE VISITS AND ELIMINATING INDEED. I'VE HAD QUITE A FEW E-MAILS CALLS PROBABLY ALMOST TWO
HUNDRED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS FROM RESIDENTS. >> AND ALTHOUGH MOST PEOPLE DO HAVE THE MAJORITY I THINK 65 PERCENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT OF RESIDENTS WHO HAD DO HAVE
SIGNED UP MR. MCGOWAN'S POINT. >> THERE ARE MANY THAT DON'T HAVE THAT OPTION AND THERE WOULD BE A SURCHARGE ALSO. MANY OF THE PEOPLE I TALKED TO EVEN IF THEY DO CURBSIDE, THEY STILL USE THE CONVENIENCE CENTER AND THEY STILL WANT THAT OPTION.
AND ALSO THIS DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.
>> THE MANDATORY CURBSIDE SO IT'S NOT A MAN LEAVING THE CENTER OPEN AND THEN LIMITING
THE VISITS AND. RIGHT. >> TWO THOUGHTS ON THAT.
THE FIRST IS I'M PARTICULARLY WORRIED ABOUT THOSE HILTON HEAD RESIDENTS WHO WERE NOT WITHIN TOWN LIMITS WHO WERE GUARDING OPTIONS NUMBER ONE IN TWO REALLY WOULDN'T BE AFFECTED BY THAT AND THEY ARE STILL THERE SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE FROM THE NEAREST CONVENIENCE CENTER.
AND SO I THINK ONE IN TWO ARE PROBABLY UNWORKABLE OPTIONS FOR THOSE CITIZENS WHO ARE HILTON
HEAD RESIDENTS BUT NOT WITHIN THE TOWN LIMIT. >> MY QUESTION REGARDING NUMBER THREE IS WHAT ABOUT THE FUND'S YOU KNOW, CAN WE AFFORD THAT? IS IT SOMETHING WE CAN BUDGET
FOR? WHAT DO YOU SAY? >> YEAH.
>> SO IF WE MAKE THOSE CHANGES THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO KEEP THE SITE OPEN.
>> OK. WHAT DO YOU GOT? THAT'S GREAT.
>> I'M IN ABSOLUTE AGREEMENT THAT WE SHOULD DO NUMBER THREE UNTIL HEAD ISLAND.
BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO DO IT ON HILTON HEAD ISLAND WE NEED TO BE CONSISTENT ACROSS THE COUNTY. WE CAN'T TREAT ONE SECTION OF THE COUNTIES DIFFERENT THAN EVERYBODY ELSE. I THINK I MIGHT DISAGREE WITH YOU BECAUSE THE OTHER DOWN RACES MOST OF THE REST OF THE COUNTY THE MUNICIPAL USE SERVICES ARE PRETTY MUCH TAKEN
CARE OF THE WASTE. >> IN OTHER WORDS, I LIVE IN THE CITY BEFORE AND I DON'T GO TO THE CONVENIENCE CENTER BUT MAYBE ONCE A YEAR WHEN THE YARD WASTE IS JUST TOO SIGNIFICANT TO EVEN ASK FOR HELP DOING IT OR I'VE GOT YOU KNOW TOO MUCH STUFF GOING ON.
SO YOU KNOW I THINK IT'S A DIFFERENT SCENARIO WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HILTON WHO DOES NOT HAVE ITS OWN HOLLERS. AND SO I THINK THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE.
>> THEY'RE THE ONLY MUNICIPALITY, MR. CHAIRMAN AND CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG THAT DOESN'T PROVIDE LIKE THE TOWN OF BLUFFTON OR THE CITY OF BEAUFORT OR WHATEVER.
RIGHT. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. YEAH.
YEAH. MARTHA, I ONLY GET TO SEE US ALL.
>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S GOING MUNICIPALITY VS. UNINCORPORATED AREAS.
>> IT'S THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE ACCESS TO THE CONVENIENT CENTER THAT'S CLOSEST TO THEM DOESN'T REALLY MATTER WHERE THEY LIVE HERE. THIS IS THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN.
THERE IS NO OTHER CENTER UNLESS YOU DRIVE OUT TO OVER THE BRIDGE ON YOUR WAY TO NEW JERSEY. I MEAN NOBODY IS DOING THAT, YOU KNOW.
[01:45:02]
RIGHT. >> CHRIS HIRSCHHORN, YOU'RE NEXT.
THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. TWO QUESTIONS. NUMBER ONE, WHERE ARE WE WITH THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD AS FAR AS PROCURING EXTRA SPACE THAT WE NEED IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR THE DECALS SYSTEM AND THE GATE MEMBERS HAVE SPOKEN WITH MR. RILEY AND THAT CAN BE WORKED
OUT. >> I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT IT. ALL RIGHT.
>> VERY GOOD. AND THEN THE NEXT QUESTION IS WHAT IS PRECLUDING US FROM MOVING FORWARD WITH NUMBER THREE? IT SEEMS IT'S GOING TO PREVENT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF HEARTBURN. BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT SEEMS LIKE MOST EVERYBODY IS LEANING THAT WAY. WHY NOT?
WHY CAN'T WE JUST MOVE THAT FORWARD? >> WE CAN ABSOLUTELY.
WE JUST NEED THAT OCEAN CREST. THAT'S EMOTION. >> ABSOLUTELY.
GOOD IDEA. WHY IF WE MOVE OPTION NUMBER THREE FORWARD TO COUNCIL.
>> EXACTLY. >> I'LL HAPPILY SECOND THAT. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR. MACALLAN. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THIS
SOLUTION? AND I WANT TO I WANT CLEAR. >> CINDY WAS STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES FOR THE ECO SYSTEM ACROSS THE COUNTY OR JUST ON HILTON HEAD? NOW THE ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATION WAS TO HAVE A LIMIT TO TWO VISITS PER WEEK. ROSS THE COUNTY BEGAN TO TAKE OUT C AND D ACROSS THE COUNTY.
>> OK. SO IT'S CAMP WIDE. YES, MA'AM.
OK. IS EVERYBODY IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT?
I'M GOING TO CALL FOR A ROLL CALL VOTE PERFORMANCE. >> BRIAN I'M SORRY.
GO AHEAD ON. JUST JUST ONE. WANT TO SHARE THIS AND SOMEBODY REFERENCED IN EARLIER ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE SHOULD BE TREATING ALL THE CITIZENS ACROSS THE COUNTY THE SAME. AND IF WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE THE HILTON HEAD COMMUNITY AND OPEN THEN THE FOLKS THE FOLKS IN CULVERT DISTRICT AND FOLKS AT GATED COMMUNITY CONVENIENCE AND
THAT'S GOING TO BE CLOSED. >> I THINK THOSE FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE UP IN ARMS AND GET FINE THAT WE'RE LEAVING. MEDS CLEANER CLEAN SCENE OBAMA WE'RE CLOSE AND THERE'S AND SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE NEED. WE NEED TO GROW.
BUT LET ME ADDRESS A MORAL CHALLENGE LIKE. >> GO AHEAD.
YEAH. IF I CAN ADDRESS THAT BECAUSE THAT'S A GREAT POINT, MR. ADELSON AND I DON'T I CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE NORTH OF THE BROAD BUT OVER HERE THAT SUBJECTS COME UP AND IT'S STRICTLY THE MESSAGE IS THE SAME THAT YOU KNOW, I WOULD LOVE NOTHING FURTHER FROM HAPPENING THAN THEN PRITCHARD TO GIVE ROAD STAYING OPEN BUT IT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A DECALS SYSTEM AND THE FACILITY DOESN'T EVEN REMOTELY MEET THE M.S. FOR REQUIREMENTS AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH LAND AROUND IT TO BUY OR CONDEMNED TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN. SO IT'S I MEAN PRITCHARD VIDEO GILBERT ROAD HAS TO CLOSE IT HAS TO WRITE ORIOLES TO PUT IT . THANKS VERY MUCH, MIKE.
SO ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS REGARDING THIS MOTION TO MOVE ITEM NUMBER THREE AND SHOWING
BOEHNER JUST ONE IF I MIGHT? >> MR. CHAIRMAN, I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND IT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HAVING HELPED REMAIN OPEN. I UNDERSTAND THAT.
WHERE DID WE LIGHT ON WHETHER THE C AND D IS REMOVED EVERY PLACE?
>> IS THAT PART OF THE RECOMMENDATION? I BELIEVE THAT WAS PART OF THE
RECOMMENDATION AS I SIMPLY. >> THAT IS CORRECT. OK.
AND THE REMOVING OF THE C AND D ACROSS THE COUNTY THAT SAVES US SOME MONEY.
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT THEN ALLOWS US TO KEEP SAY WITHIN BUDGET.
AM I ASSUMING THAT CORRECTLY? >> YES. CORRECT.
RIGHT. THE LAST COMMENT I WOULD MAKE IS KIND OF A MINOR ONE.
>> IT DOES SEEM TO ME FOR THE PEOPLE ON HILTON HEAD EXAMPLE WE KNOW WE HAVE.
WE. WE DON'T USE THE CONVENIENCE OF VERY MUCH BUT I MAY GO ONCE A MONTH AND MY WIFE MIGHT GO ONCE A MONTH TO DROP SOME STUFF OFF BECAUSE THE DEALER BIGGER I LET IT BUILD UP TOO MUCH. IT DOES SEEM TO ME THAT SINCE WE KNOW WHO ALL THE RESIDENTS ARE THAT THE RESIDENTS OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO GET A DECAF FOR EACH VEHICLE.
AND WE DON'T NEED TO VOTE ON THAT TODAY BUT IT DOES SEEM TO ME THAT THAT'S NOT UNREASONABLE
TO DO. >> THANKS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS ON
THIS MATTER? >> YES. MR. CHAIRMAN, GO AHEAD.
I STRONGLY OPPOSE US ELIMINATING THE CND OVER HERE AND NORTH OR ABROAD.
>> A LOT OF A LOT MARCUS INSURANCE AND A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE RURAL AREAS OFTENTIMES HAVE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS AND STUFF THAT THEY ACTUALLY TAKE AND PUT IN THE DUMPSTERS.
OTHER THAN THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE PEOPLE STARTING TO BURN STUFF IN THEIR BACKYARD AND IN
[01:50:03]
THE WOODS. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO CREATE ANOTHER PROBLEM BY ELIMINATING THEM BEING ABLE TO BRING THAT STUFF TO THE CONVENIENCE THAT BRING IN EFFECT.>> I MEAN HERE WE ARE AGAIN. THE REST OF THE CITIZENS COUNTY BY NOT BEING ABLE TO DO THE CND THESE SUBSIDIZE ADVISING THE PEOPLE OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND WHO DON'T BRING SEEING THE ANYWAY. AND SO ALL THE REST OF US HAVE TO GIVE UP THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THE SCENE THE YARD DEBRIS TO OUR KATHLEEN A TOWN AND A LITTLE TOWN.
LET ME LET ME FINISH SO THAT THE TOWN HILTON HEAD CAN I CAN GO AHEAD AND NOT TAKE CARE OF ITS MUNICIPAL RESPONSIBILITY LIKE EVERY OTHER MUNICIPALITY AND IN THE COUNTY.
AND I'M JUST YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO WE NEED TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE, FOLKS.
THEY NEED TO HANDLE THEIR MUNICIPAL OBLIGATIONS WHICH INCLUDES TRASH ANYWAY.
GO AHEAD. I DON'T THINK I ASK THIS. I DON'T THINK I AGREE WITH MR. DAWSON. I THINK THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ESTABLISH THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE SMALL DEMOLITION ISSUES IN A RESIDENTIAL SETTING CAN'T BRING THAT OVER.
WE'RE TRYING TO STOP COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES FROM DUMPING EVERYTHING THEY DO EVERY DAY
INTO OUR CONVENIENT CENTERS. >> I UNDERSTAND. I'M READY, BY THE WAY.
I MEAN I DON'T THINK IT'S A PROHIBITION AGAINST RESIDENTS MAKE TAKING SMALL AMOUNTS OF THINGS OVER THERE. I THINK IT'S A PROHIBITION AGAINST COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES FROM TAKING CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION AND COMMERCIAL LANDSCAPE COMPANIES FROM TAKING YARD WASTE OVER THERE. I THINK WE'LL TRY AND KEEP THE BUSINESSES OUT AND LET THEM PAY FEES TO MAKE THEIR DUMPING WHEREVER THEY CAN FOR A FEE RATHER THAN HAVING US PAY THE FEE FOR THEIR ABILITY TO DUMP INTO THESE CONVENIENT CENTERS WHEREVER THEY HAPPEN TO BE BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE BIG COSTS COME IN. YOU SEE MY POINT? YEAH I DO. AND THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE VOTING ON.
THAT'S NOT THE WAY YOU'RE VOTING. OH YEAH.
WELL I GET THAT. ELIMINATE ALL CINDY. >> I GET THAT.
SO I'M SUGGESTING PERHAPS WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT PARTICULARLY IN THOSE AREAS WHERE THIS SMALL RESIDENTIAL CONSIDERATION WE SHOULDN'T BE ILLUMINATING IN THE LANGUAGE COMMERCIAL DUMPING. THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE ELIMINATING.
>> I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT'S WHAT YOUR RECOMMENDATION IS. >> WELL, THAT'S MY RECOMMENDATION THAT WE ELIMINATE COMMERCIAL DUMPING, NOT RESIDENTIAL DUMPING.
>> IF SOMEONE HAS A LEXUS OR A TOYOTA OR A HEART THAT HAS A TRUNK FULL OF CONSTRUCTION DRYWALL. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY OBJECTS TO THAT.
THAT'S NOT A DUMP TRUCK COMING IN AND MAKING A BIG DUMP THERE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
LET'S BREAK IT DOWN FOR US. >> WE ALREADY REQUIRE TO GO TO THE HEBREW HILL LAND WHILE A
PICKUP TRUCK WHATEVER IT IS. >> NO, MR. SHARON DOES WHAT? GO AHEAD.
MAKER OF THE MOTION. MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT THIS WAS COMMERCIAL DEBRIS.
I CANNOT I CAN'T I CAN'T FATHOM THAT. YOU KNOW, TO LARRY'S POINT, IF SOMEBODY IS DOING A SMALL RENOVATION PROJECT THAT HOME AND THEY PUT SOME DRYWALL IN A TRASH BAG AND THEY SHOW UP AT THE COMMUNION CENTER THAT IT'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM.
IT JUST IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE RATIONAL SENSE. NO, I GET TO LIVE WITH I AGREE WITH YOU THAT HOWEVER THE MOTION WAS TO ELIMINATE ALL INDEED AND THAT IS HOW WE GENERATE THE SAVING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THE HILTON HEAD CONVENIENCES ARE OPEN.
>> WITHOUT THAT PROHIBITION ACTUALLY DOES THAT CHANGE THE NUMBERS MAKING THEM CONFIDENT?
RIGHT. >> THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET CINDY TO CLARIFY BECAUSE I THINK WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT US JUST COMMERCIAL SINGING D WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
SOMEBODY IS LITTLE SMALL PROJECT. >> AND I'D BE GLAD TO AMEND THAT MOTION TO JUST ELIMINATE COMMERCIAL DUMPING RATHER THAN ALL DUMPING THAT WOULD MAKE IT BETTER. AND CHRIS, YOU WERE THE BAKER MOTION.
>> IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR? WELL, YES, EXACTLY.
THAT WAS MY MY INITIAL INTENT AS WELL. I JUST FOR A PRACTICAL STANDPOINT, IF SOMEBODY THROWS COLD DRYWALL ON TRASH AND THROWS IT INTO THE SPINE IN THE DUMPSTER, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WE WOULD ENFORCE THAT JUST AS A PRACTICAL MATTER.
RIGHT. BUT SOMEBODY WHO PULLS UP WITH A COMMERCIAL TRUCK WHO'S GOT A TON OF DEBRIS. I MEAN THAT SEEMS TO BE AN OBVIOUS AND CLEAR DISTINCTION
THERE. >> THANK YOU. ACTUALLY I ASK THAT IF THIS MOTION SHOULD PASS AND I SUSPECT THAT IT WILL. THAT THAT YOU EVALUATE THESE CHANGES AND GIVE US A REPORT AT THE NEXT MEETING ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THIS IMPACTS OUR DECISION TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THE HILTON HEAD CENTER OPEN. SO IF YOU MAKE THESE CHANGES WE
CAN ABSOLUTELY KEEP HILTON HEAD OPEN. >> OK.
>> ALL RIGHT. MATT. JUST ONE MORE COMMENT AT COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES. I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE RESIDENTIAL DECALS SO THEY SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED IN ANY WAY. SO THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS FROM A SMALL REMODELING AT HOME WOULD BE A PERSON WHO HAS A RESIDENCE
[01:55:05]
AND THEREFORE HAS A DECALS BECAUSE THE COMMERCIAL BUSINESSES SHOULD NOT BE ISSUED DECALS ONLY PEOPLE WHO ARE RESIDENTS WOULD BE GETTING THEM.SO I DON'T THINK YOU REALLY NEED TO WORK REAL HARD ON THIS TO ELIMINATE COMMERCIAL DUMPING AND ALLOW RESIDENTIAL DUMPING. YOU DON'T HAVE A D CAL STAY OUT.
>> YES, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU, LARRY. AND THAT WAS MY WHOLE POINT WAS THAT OUR LANGUAGE INCLUDED ALL C AND D. THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY GENERATED JUST BY A COMMERCIAL CALLER BUT IT'S GENERATED BY SOMEBODY WHO'S TEARING OUT A WALL OR PUTTING IN OR TEARING OUT THE FLOORING, TEARING OUT RIGHT OUT THE CARPET TO PUT A NEW CARPET NAME LIKE I WITH MR. DE SOMETIMES OBSERVATIONS THAT COME ALONG FINE.
>> LET'S CLARIFY IT EMOTIONALLY AND MOVE THIS FORWARD. >> OK.
SO IF WE COULD HAVE THAT IT SAYS THE MOTION BY MR. HIRSCHHORN SECOND BY MR. MACALLAN IS TO LEAVE THE CENTER OPEN FOR MASS W AND RECYCLING BUT LIMIT VISITS VIA AN EFFECTIVE DECALS SYSTEM TO PER WEEK AND REMOVE THE COLLECTION OF COMMERCIAL C AND D WASTE ACROSS THE CAMERON AREA. IS THAT IS THAT IS THAT YOUR MOTION? IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO THIS? IS THERE ANYBODY WHO'S GOING TO VOTE NO? I'LL JUST SAY I'LL JET OBJECT AND DEMAND A ROLL CALL VOTE. OKAY.
WITHOUT OBJECTION. THEN WE WILL APPROVE THIS AND FORWARD IT ON.
I BELIEVE COUNTY COUNCIL HAS TO REVIEW THIS ASHLEY OR POLICE TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT COUNTY COUNCIL WOULD NEED TO APPROVE THIS DECISION OF THE COMMITTEE AND FOR IT APPROPRIATELY IF
THAT IS THE CASE. >> IT BRIAN OBVIOUSLY THE ACTION THIS MOTION DID PASS IS THERE AN OBJECTION? NO OBJECTION. I HAVE A QUESTION AFTER YOU
PASS IT, I HAVE A QUESTION. OK, WITHOUT OBJECTION. >> THEN THIS MOTION ESCORTED IS PASSED AND COUNTY STAFF IS REQUIRED TO OBSERVE IT AND FOR THAT THE COUNTY COUNCIL IF NECESSARY APPROVAL IS REQUIRED. LARRY, WHAT WE'VE OR ANY ACTION HAS TO BE TAKEN BY FINANCE SINCE APPARENTLY THE APPROPRIATE ACTION FOR THE HILTON HEAD CONVENIENCE CENTER EXPIRES DECEMBER 31. WE HAVE TO GO BACK FOR A FURTHER SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION IN THAT REGARD, SIR, THROUGH THIS MOTION WHAT YOU'LL DO AS YOU'LL SEE THERE'LL BE SAVING WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO KEEP THE SITE OPEN.
>> OH, EXCELLENT. SO I'LL SAVINGS FROM THE SECOND HALF OF THE FISCAL YEAR THERE'LL BE SUFFICIENT SUFFICIENT SAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR THROUGH THESE CHANGES
THAT WILL ALLOW US TO KEEP THE SITE. >> YES.
>> OK, GREAT. BUT LARRY, FRANKLY ALL WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE CUTTING THE
OPERATING COST IN HALF. >> NO, I BELIEVE ME. I UNDERSTAND THAT.
I JUST THOUGHT THAT THE APPROPRIATION SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT CONVENIENCE CENTER EXPIRED DECEMBER 30. FIRST I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS EXTENDED BEYOND GOOD.
>> IT WAS A BUDGET DOLLAR AMOUNT. OKAY.
[12. FEDERAL COURTHOUSE PARKING LOT LEASE]
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> AND WE'LL MOVE OUT OF THE FEDERAL COURTHOUSE PARKING LOT LEASE BRYAN, JUST LET ME SAY PARTIALLY THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR FOR FOR HERDING CATS TOGETHER AND TO GET THIS ALL DONE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> OKAY. SO THIS ONE ACTUALLY SHOULD JUST THE FEDERAL COURTHOUSE RATHER THAN PARKING LOT ALTHOUGH THAT'S PART OF BUT I'M
SHERIFF TANNER WHO'S ON THE LINE. >> WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT
HIM LEAVING HIS ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICES INTO THIS BUILDING. >> SO YOU MAY RECALL WE ISSUED RFP FOR THE BUILDING. WE HAD NO RESPONSES. SO THE BUILDING'S OPEN, IT'S EMPTY AND IT'S AVAILABLE AND I'M VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF THIS.
I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA FOR HIM TO MOVE INTO THIS BUILDING AND UTILIZE IT.
>> THIS WOULD ALLOW US TO DO SEVERAL THINGS. >> AND I DON'T WANT TO CHAIR PARENT WANT TO STEAL YOUR THUNDER BUT YOU CAN YOU CAN JUMP ANYTIME.
BUT BUT ESSENTIALLY THOUGH THIS WOULD ALLOW HIM TO TO FREE UP SOME SPACE IN HIS BUILDING IN BEAUFORT FOR THE EOC WHICH WE DESPERATELY NEED. IT ALSO WOULD MOVE US OUT OF THAT INVESTIGATORS BUILDING WHICH IS YOU PROBABLY HAVE SEEN THAT I DON'T RIBAUT ROAD.
THIS IS NOT A GOOD BUILDING FOR OUR EMPLOYEES TO BE ON AND WE CAN MOVE OUT OF THAT AND THAT WOULD ALSO I THINK IT'S ABOUT THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS SO WE CAN ELIMINATE THAT COST.
SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT MOVE AND IT ALSO WOULD WOULD HELP US WITH OUR LONG TERM MASTER FACILITIES PLAN. BECAUSE THIS WOULD GIVE HIM SOME SPACE TO TO TO OCCUPY AND GROW AND FUNCTION AND IT WOULD HELP US THE WAY BUILDING A NEW CAMPUS FOR THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE BUT ALTERNATIVELY SHARE POWER WITH HIM. GENERAL, CAN I STEAL SOME OF HIS THUNDER BEFORE HE TALKS? P.J., GIVE ME A SECOND. QUICKLY LARRY PLACE.
YEAH. I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS MAY RESOLVE THE ISSUE I HAD WHEN I WAS TRYING TO ENCOURAGE US TO CONSIDER THE CAMP ST. MARY'S AREA FOR THIS FOR THE SHERIFF'S COMMAND CENTER. IF THIS OCCURS THEN THAT'S OFF THE TABLE AND THAT'S A BIG, BIG SAVING IN DOLLARS BECAUSE THAT WAS GOING TO BE AN EIGHT MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT.
[02:00:03]
SO I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. IT WAS NOT THERE ANYWAY BUTYEAH WELL WHATEVER. >> BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA IF IT IF IT OBVIATES THE
NEED FOR THAT. SO THANK YOU SHERIFF TANNER. >> YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
IT'S CLEAR TO ME WHAT I THINK YOU MAY MAYBE WITH YOUR POINT. WELL IT COULD HAVE BEEN ASHLEY THAT SCARED HIM AWAY. WELL I THINK WE HAVE THE GENERAL IDEA AND IS THERE ANYBODY WHO HAS QUESTIONS? I MEAN CLEARLY MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS WHERE I'M GOING IN THAT EVALUATION. WHAT IS THAT WE CAN DO TO HELP HIM OFFICIALLY EVALUATE GET ENGINEERING ESTIMATES OF HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR THE BUILDING TO HIS NEEDS AND ACQUIRE THE PARKING THAT'S CLEARLY GONNA BE NECESSARY. WHAT'S OUR LONG TERM EFFECT ON OUR BUDGET FOR THAT? AND SO YOU KNOW, QUITE FRANKLY WITHOUT ANY INPUT FROM THE SHERIFF, I THINK WE WE PROBABLY WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE PROCEED WITH THAT EVALUATION.
IS THERE ANYBODY YOU WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION AS SUCH? I'LL BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
SECOND AND THE SECOND WAS CRAIG . >> OKAY, MIKE, GREAT.
THANKS. THANKS. MIKE, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS? SO BASICALLY IN ABOUT A MONTH ASHLEY WILL HEAR SOME OFFICIAL DATA ABOUT THE EFFECT NOT ONLY ON COST IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET BUT ANY BORROWINGS THAT WE KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO FUND ANY RECONSTRUCTION AND THEN WHAT THE IMPACT ON OUR ANNUAL BUDGETS GONNA BE. AND THAT INFORMATION OF COURSE WILL BE SHARED WITH THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AS WELL. SO THE MOTION ON THE TABLE APPROPRIATELY SECONDED.
ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THE MOTION OK? >> WITHOUT OBJECTION THIS MOTION WE PASSED AND WILL RECEIVE FURTHER INFORMATION NEXT MONTH I SUPPOSE.
ARE THERE ANY OBJECTION? THEIR INSTRUCTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
