-22- March 22, 2016

Mr. Pryor moved approval of items A-D on the Consent Agenda, seconded by Mr. Qualey, and carried unanimously. Consent Agenda items A-D are as follows: A report was furnished by the Finance Committee that it considered the information furnished by County Administrator Keith Bustraan and Council Member Colleen Condon regarding the need to make an appointment to the Charleston County Board of Zoning Appeals. It was stated that the BZA member recommended for appointment by Council Member Condon recently resigned and Ms. Condon was recommending Rebecca Epstein for appointment to the BZA. Committee recommended that Council appoint Rebecca Epstein to the Charleston County Board of Zoning Appeals for a term to expire December 31, 2016. A report was furnished by the Finance Committee under date of March 17, 2016, that it considered the information furnished by County Administrator Keith Bustraan and Interim Environmental Management Director Robert Lawing regarding various grant applications to be submitted to SC Department of Health and Environmental Control. It was stated that the Environmental Management Department requests Council’s approval to submit the annual Solid Waste Reduction and Recycling, Used Oil, Waste Tire and Food Recovery Grant applications to SC Department of Health and Environmental Control for FY 2017 or July 1, 2016- June 30, 2017. It was shown that: Used Oil Grant The Used Oil Grant application request totals $12,110.20. This grant provides funding to establish, expand or continue operation of used motor oil collection programs for do-it-yourself oil changers. This is to include programs related to the collection of used motor oil, oil filters, oil bottles and oil gas mixtures. Waste Tire Grant The Waste Tire Grant application request totals $12,830. This grant provides funds for the removal of waste tires for processing and/or recycling, public education that promotes the recycling of waste tires, professional development related to waste tire recycling and other direct costs. Grant funds will be used to offset the difference between actual tire disposal expenses and anticipated revenue received from Tire Taxes (State Shared) and Landfill tipping fees; and will fund allowable public education and professional development expenses for program staff. Food Recovery Grant The Food Recovery Grant application request totals $7,500. The purpose of the Food Recovery Grant is to assist local governments and regions for the implementation or expansion of food recovery programs in an effort to achieve the State’s recommended municipal solid waste (MSW) recycling goal of 40 percent, and achieve the recommended MSW disposal goal of 3.25 lbs. or less per person per day. The Environmental Management Department seeks funding to conduct a comprehensive media campaign to include print and social media aimed at increasing awareness and

-23- March 22, 2016

participation in the County’s Commercial Food Waste Composting Program. The campaign will simultaneously recognize local food waste generators who are participating in the program while encouraging other food waste generators to join the program. Committee recommended that Council approve the Environmental Management’s request to apply for and accept, if awarded, the FY 2017 SCDHEC applications for Used Oil, Waste Tire and Food Recovery grants with the understanding that the total SCDHEC FY 2017 submission is $32,440.20, that there are no FTEs or matching funds required, and that the Environmental Management Department will subsidize the Food Recovery Grant with an additional $3,250 with funds available in the Environmental Management Department budget. A report was furnished by the Finance Committee under date of March 17, 2016, that it considered the information furnished by County Administrator Keith Bustraan and Public Works Director Jim Neal regarding the need to relinquish the County’s interest in five private roads. It was stated that on December 6, 2011, Charleston County Council created the County Non-Standard Road (CNSR) Program and now considers all former community roads public roads. Council has directed the Public Works Department to confirm and document the status of each road; and, if confirmed public, record the plat and bring the road into the County maintenance system. If in the confirmation process it is determined the road should not be a public road, the Department is to bring the road before Council for removal from the County maintenance system and relinquishment of any and all claims of interest by the County in the right-of-way. To date, 68 roads have been confirmed, documented, and recorded. Ten (10) roads have been removed from the County maintenance system by County Council. It was shown that the Public Works Department confirmed that the below listed five (5) roads should be removed from the County maintenance system. Further, the roads should be removed from the public road list and all County claims of interest in these roads relinquished. All property owners along the affected routes have been informed of the consequences and agreed to the removal.

A report was furnished by the Finance Committee under date of March 17, 2016, that it considered the information furnished by County Administrator Keith Bustraan and Contracts and Procurement Director Barrett Tolbert regarding the need to award a contract for the 2016 CTC Resurfacing Project Plan A. It was stated that the Charleston County Transportation Committee (CTC) 2016 Resurfacing Project shall include traffic control, milling, surface preparation, asphalt resurfacing, striping and associated appurtenances of various local paved roadways within the boundaries of Charleston County. The approximate total project length is 22 miles. This contract is the first of two planned contracts utilizing the $9 million non-recurring funds that the CTC received for FY16 through the State General Fund. Charleston County is the first to utilize any of the non-recurring funds provided by the State General Fund. As required, all routes are state secondary roads and they were selected through the use of the Charleston County Pavement Management System. The two contracts were grouped by area with half the County covered in Plan A and the other half will be covered in Plan B. The work for contract Plan A is expected to begin this summer. Plan B is on schedule to be advertised in March. Bids were received in accordance with the terms and conditions of Invitation for Bid No. 5043-16C. State “C” Fund regulations do not allow Small Business Enterprise (SBE) or local preference goals. Bidder

Committee recommended that Council, as agent for the Charleston County Transportation Committee (CTC), authorize award of a contract for the CTC 2016 Resurfacing Project, to Sanders Brothers Construction, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, satisfying all specifications, in the amount of $5,737,630.50 with the understanding that funding is available through the State “C” Fund for road improvements. Mr. Schweers moved approval of Consent Agenda item E, seconded by Mr. Sass, and carried. Mr. Rawl and Ms. Johnson voted against item E. Item E is as follows: A report was furnished by the Finance Committee under date of March 17, 2016, that it considered the information furnished by County Administrator Keith Bustraan and Transportation Development Director Steve Thigpen regarding a request received from the mayors of Mount Pleasant, Isle of Palms, and Sullivan’s Island and the request of Council Member Joe Qualey regarding Folly Beach, that Charleston County assist with

-25- March 22, 2016

the implementation of traffic cameras along various beach routes in Charleston County. It was stated that the intent of the project is to provide the public with live video of traffic conditions to improve public safety by better informing citizens of real time traffic conditions. The three municipalities have had preliminary discussions with SCDOT and others on the implementation process and requirements. If approved, County staff would meet with all of the agencies involved to further define the scope of work. The intent would be for County staff to assist by hiring a technical consultant to determine installation and performance specifications of the cameras, assist in procuring installation services and develop a memorandum of understanding for long term maintenance and operation by one of the other agencies. SCDOT would likely be the long term operator because the cameras would be installed within their right of way and they are already operating the existing 511 traffic camera system. Due to design efficiencies identified by staff during construction and the utilization of matching local and federal funding, the Ben Sawyer Multiuse Path project, a FY 2009 allocation project, was completed under budget. If approved by Council, staff proposes to transfer a portion of the remaining funds from the Ben Sawyer Multiuse Path project to the Beach Routes Traffic Camera project. Committee recommended that Council approve funding in the amount of $120,000 to assist with the implementation of multiple traffic cameras on routes to and from Folly Beach and East Cooper beaches with the understanding that funds are available in the roads portion of the Transportation Sales Tax. The previous item was the last item on the Consent Agenda. A report was furnished by the Finance Committee under date of March 17, 2016, that it considered the information furnished by County Administrator Keith Bustraan and Public Works Director Jim Neal regarding the Stormwater Management Utility Fee. It was stated that regulatory changes and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) modifications to the County’s permit for Stormwater Discharges from Regulated Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (SMS4) went into effect January 2014 and have placed increasing demands on the program. The required additional services will continue to impose water quality monitoring and testing in order to remain in compliance with this new permit. It is projected that the costs for these additional requirements will exceed projected income by December 2017. It was shown that the current utility fee is structured as “interim” and has been in effect since September 2006. The base fee is $36 for an Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). The proposed fee is $58 per ERU and is based on a modified calculation resulting from a 2009 rate study. This revised structure will more closely align the County’s commercial fee calculation with other municipal stormwater programs within the County. Charleston County manages the program for five municipalities through Intergovernmental Agreements which are currently in place with Isle of Palms, James Island, Folly Beach, Sullivan’s Island, and Lincolnville. The additional revenue from the proposed rate increase will not only support the unfunded permit compliance

-26- March 22, 2016

requirements but will also provide funding for flood incident reduction and mitigation in unincorporated Charleston County as well as the five municipalities. The committee also considered information regarding a new Stormwater Program Initiative - Flood Incident Reduction and Mitigation Projects (FIRMP). Committee recommended that Council approve and give first reading to an ordinance amending the Stormwater Management Utility Fee Ordinance by establishing the amount of the fee at $72. Mr. Pryor moved approval of the Committee recommendation. The motion was seconded by Ms. Johnson. Mr. Schweers asked if the money received from this fee increase would be tracked by municipality. Mr. Bustraan confirmed that it currently was tracked by municipality and it would continue to be tracked that way in the future. Mr. Jim Neal, Public Works Director, gave additional details regarding the manner in which the fee is calculated and tracked upon receipt. Ms. Condon stated that she believed municipalities should go along with the County’s expanded program or develop, fund, and administer their own program. Mr. Qualey asked for the cost of compliance only. Mr. Neal stated that the fee required to maintain the current program would be $48. Mr. Qualey stated that he believed a 100% tax increase was a bad idea and that if Public Works needed to expand, all of Charleston County’s taxpayers should bear the burden, not just those in the unincorporated areas and municipalities participating in the County’s Stormwater Program. Mr. Summey stated that he believed each municipality should be able to determine the fee for itself. The Chairman called for a vote on the motion to approve the committee recommendation. The motion passed. Messrs. Schweers and Qualey voted against the motion. An ordinance amending the Stormwater Management Utility Fee Ordinance was given first reading by title only. The ordinance title is as follows:

AN ORDINANCE

RELATING TO THE IMPOSITION OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT UTILITY FEES, PROVIDING FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF REAL PROPERTY SUBJECT TO SUCH

FEES, ESTABLISHING THE AMOUNT OF STORMWATER MANAGEMENT UTILITY FEES AND PROVIDING FOR THE USE OF SUCH FEES BY THE STORMWATER

MANAGEMENT UTILITY OF THE COUNTY OF CHARLESTON The ordinance in its entirety will appear in the Minutes of Charleston County Council at the time of third reading. A report was furnished by the Special Finance Committee under date of March 22, 2016, that it considered the information provided by County Administrator Keith Bustraan and various Council Members regarding solutions to help combat the homelessness problem in Charleston County. It was stated that County Council recognizes that homelessness is a significant issue and it is important for the County to utilize available facilities to assist in solving the problem of homelessness in Charleston County. It was shown that staff and Council Members had me with representatives of the City of Charleston regarding the potential use of the Sheriff’s Work Camp as a temporary housing unit for people living in “Tent City” and representatives of the City of North Charleston regarding the need for a Women and Children’s Shelter. Committee recommended that Council:

1. Authorize staff to negotiate and give the County Administrator the authority to enter into an agreement with the City of Charleston to utilize the County’s Work Camp to relocate and assist in rehousing the people currently residing in “Tent City” in the City of Charleston beginning on or about April 6, 2016, for a 60 day period, and

2. Authorize staff to negotiate a lease, renewable in one year increments, for

$1 per year, with the City of North Charleston to utilize the County’s Building H located at the rear of the Coastal Pre-Release Center located at 3675 Leeds Avenue or, in the alternative, the County’s Work Camp once the agreement with the City of Charleston has expired for a Women and Children’s Shelter,

with the understanding that both agreements would be subject to a provision allowing the County to terminate if either the federal government reinstates funding for Building H and/or if the Department of Corrections receives funding approval for the Coastal Pre-Release Center. Ms. Condon moved approval of the committee recommendation, seconded by Mr. Rawl, and carried. The Chairman stated that there was need for an Executive Session to receive legal advice on contractual matters and to discuss matters covered under attorney-client privilege regarding the Chicora Life Center and the Mark Clark Completion Project. Mr. Rawl moved for Executive Session, seconded by Mr. Sass, and carried. At the conclusion of the Executive Session, the Chairman stated that no action had been taken in Executive Session.

-28- March 22, 2016

The Chairman asked if any Member of Council wished to bring a matter before the Body. Hearing no affirmative responses and there being no further business to come before the Body, the Chairman declared the meeting to be adjourned.
