Now I would like to ask the members of the Sikings Council to lead the prayer and invite everyone to make a vow of faithfulness.

0:53 – 1:21Speaker 12

May everyone stand up. Thank you. Father in heaven, bless us all and protect us under your protection. May your holiness guide us and bless us with your mercy. Allow us all to feel your presence when we perform our duties by paying attention to your humble prayers. For those who need it or feel a bad health impact, we ask for your gentle hands for reparation. Let us fight together and with your guidance to make this world a better place.

1:23 – 5:21Speaker 3

Amen. All right, we have one confession tonight. I would like to ask Judge Condan and the staff of Judge Warris Charleston Conti to join me here, as well as Terry Smith and Jackie Fussel from Farfer Law Country. Remembering that the use of Z affects individuals, families, and communities throughout Charleston, and reparations may occur when people have access to support, resources, care, connection, and hope. And remembering that the month of September is recognized nationally as the month of reparations, giving an opportunity to celebrate the living individuals in reparations, respecting reparations families and professionals, increasing awareness of effective reparations support, and reminding our community that people can and can do Remembering stigma remains one of the biggest obstacles that prevents individuals from seeking help, so it is important for Charleston to promote compassion, understanding, and various ways to recover. And remember, Faber Lowcountry Faces and Voices of Recovery Lowcountry is responsible as a dedicated recovery community organization to provide support for recovery, advocacy, education, overdose prevention, navigation, resources, and connection to care and recovery services for individuals and families throughout Lowcountry. And remember that Fever Low Country raises the voice of individuals with life experiences, as well as showing strength, support of colleagues, connections, and communities, as well as helping people to start and maintain recovery. And remembering the collaboration of Favor Low Country with the City of Charleston, the Charleston Police Department, health care providers, emergency response officers, and other community partners, strengthens Charleston's ability to deal with substance abuse with a solution that is full of love, connection, and focused on recovery. And remember the individuals who contributed greatly to the recovery for Charleston as parents, workers, business owners, public servants, advocates, neighbors, and community leaders who show every day that recovery is a reality. And remember the city of Charleston acknowledges the importance of supporting recovery and ensuring that every citizen who is affected by the abuse of natural resources knows that they are not alone. their precious lives and reparations. That's possible. William S. Cogwell, Jr., Mayor of Charleston, stated that September, 2026, as the month of reconciliation in Charleston, and to encourage all citizens, businesses, organizations, and community leaders to join the City and Far Far Low Countries in celebrating reconciliation, reducing stigma, respecting individuals and families who are affected by abuse of property, and strengthening the path to reconciliation in our entire community. Let's give a round of applause. Judge, is there anyone who wants to convey a few words?

5:21 – 5:59Speaker 7

I will be brief. If you have never been, come and see the Narcotics Court. We have several people working here and it was held in Rabu Sore at 4 o'clock and we felt respected. About three weeks later, Vice President and Chief of Police Anda Cita Walker came to be our vice president's spokesman. And if you talk to him, he will tell you that he is very touched by the way we try to save lives. And we appreciate the support of the city and the support of the community, not only with 5Four, but everyone in the nursing community who tries to help others. Thank you.

6:38 – 7:52Speaker 10

I just want to reiterate what Judge Condan said, that you know, if you have time, I know everyone is very busy. All of you must contact the court and find out when the graduation ceremony will take place. You will never see something like this again. And they, the employees, are very good at making sure you understand where this person's position is when they start the program and where they are that day. This program is truly facing an extraordinary transformation and I assume the presence of veteran action is still there. There is still a time when I became a public speaker and I got the respect of working in that program. And that passion, when it erupts, I'm sure it has touched all of our families, if not, you know, most of our families. And you know, to see the sincere transformation that is happening in our community, this is a program that deserves all of our support, whatever it is that we can offer to support the men and women who do that job, and the men and women who do that job, because it's hard for them too.

7:57 – 8:26Speaker 3

That's a good thing. We actually haven't heard the public opinion tonight, whether they believe it or not. So, let's move on to the agreement, the resolution of the committee. Can I get a motion? The motion is presented and supported by all. All those who agree, say so. Those who disagree, agree. We now move on to the participation of the citizens. This is an opportunity for the Charleston community to express their opinion. Nyonya Panitia, how many people have registered to speak?

8:27Speaker 1

There are 17 people.

8:31 – 9:01Speaker 3

Oh, let's give each person, because this is limited to the time, to be one minute per speaker. I ask the speakers to comply with the rules. Once again, we are here so that your voice can be heard. This is not a Q&A session. So we respect the rules. If you don't do it, I will give you a warning. If you keep doing it, you will be asked to leave this room. The new Panitera, please call the first speaker.

9:01Speaker 1

Okay, let's start with the registration number, we'll go over it right away. First, Loris Toyel.

9:11 – 10:04Speaker 6

I'm here to discuss the situation regarding Groba. We also have a chance to give our comments. Medcoburn.

10:30 – 11:46Speaker 7

. . . . . . . . . . . You understand that you do not want these cases to go to court because it will prove that the first amendment rules you are not constitutional and repressive. It threatens with violence. People in prison are being protested. Protest is not a crime. But I'm not worried. I want my turn in court and I want you to stop mixing up cases. And again, it just shows how long it takes. You still have a chance to withdraw. You shouldn't be here if you don't want to release your protest. I know this is on the agenda because of the pressure given. You all understand that these rules make you in a situation. So you can pretend not to, but it's true. And we want the rules to be withdrawn. The police and the rules don't make our protest more safe. Not a single person here feels safe when protesting if you don't. If you want to talk about the violence during the protest, it starts with the police. So I know you have the first safety rules in the agenda tonight. I'm waiting for it. And I'm also waiting for my turn in court or this case is canceled. Once again, if one of the members of the court mixed up my case, that's a good sign. That just means you don't want this case to go to court because you understand that you don't want me to go to court. First of all, I want my case to go to court or court.

12:06 – 12:35Speaker 4

. . . . . . . . . and that's it

13:41 – 14:13Speaker 12

and this is what makes it very interesting Izzy Waldi.

14:42 – 14:56Speaker 10

And as you all know, student protests are usually a major factor in changing unlawful laws or regulations. And this hinders the gathering of students and student activism in the campus as well as in Charleston.

14:58Speaker 4

I am here to say that I don't think there are conditions for people to be imprisoned.

15:19 – 16:10Speaker 10

I am here with the campaign for the first demonstration of the first demonstration and to stand in solidarity with my friend Medko. Under this regulation, I feel that tourism to Marian Square will require permission from the head of the police. And I only think that it does not meet the standards of a free and equal society when it comes to politics. All kinds of gatherings. No. You want to go to the park and throw a fish with some of your friends and you know you are in a rather hostile position. You may be attached to a monument. So I Charlotte Lewis.

16:45 – 17:13Speaker 6

Good afternoon. Thank you, committee members, for coming tonight. My name is Sharot Wewit. In 2021, Jamal Sutherland was tortured and killed by officers at the Al-Qaeda detention center. We protested. Then this regulation, this first amendment regulation, gave them a broad subjective mandate to reject and delay protests that they did not like, and to arrest the perpetrators. This is the mandate that they continue to follow. Do you want to be arrested?

17:16Speaker 5

Daniel Saten

17:47 – 18:53Speaker 6

Once again, my name is Daniel Sobtang and I am a resident of West Saitama. . . . . . Andrew Blanchard.

19:26Speaker 1

Griffin Specker.

19:37Speaker 4

Good evening, everyone.

19:53 – 20:05Speaker 3

The implementation of this regulation, whether it is good or not, has given an effect on the distance and is proven to show that this regulation prioritizes tourism rather than the rights of the first state citizen amendment.

20:23Speaker 1

Julie O'Connor.

20:30 – 21:48Speaker 6

Speaking on behalf of Save Our Structures Charleston, we oppose the DASH Hall agreement because the precedent that will arise is to cancel the round B.I. decision, at least the responsibility demanded by Ashley Hall to protect the building, a very inappropriate schedule, and the last clause that allows dismantling if there is no one to present themselves in the context of the time. The latest application is on the 31st. The transfer time limit is only one month after the application. The relocation is responsible for requiring structural techniques, maintenance specialists, contractors with appropriate experience, documentation, contract, permission, coordination with new locations, coordination of all contractors and subcontractors involved in transportation and logistics. This schedule does not even calculate how long the decision process will take place before telling the chosen party. The schedule needs to be extended and includes emergency plans for unexpected circumstances such as landslides due to the weather. And relocation should not be optional, whatever the schedule. Let's move on to the next speaker, Joel Milikin.

22:15 – 22:37Speaker 5

I understand you have an interest in taking care of yourself. If you don't want to take care of yourself, don't forget to take care of yourself.

22:43Speaker 7

Good evening once again, members of the committee. My name is Sam Carroll.

22:46 – 23:50Speaker 10

My technical skills do not live in this city, only at the border of North Charleston and Charleston. I want to talk a little about the use case of CPD. So last July, we had to fight. The Charleston Police Department has about 500 staff members, including those who need 25 days for the permission to be approved. The permission that I gave to the National Park Service locally here, for the part of the feeling of the protest in Marian Square by participating in the weekend, by participating in the weekend, it only took four days. Now I understand that public safety is a big issue of electability for many municipal seats wherever we are. It's very exciting to decriminalize this rule or decriminalize freedom of speech in this city.

24:11Speaker 4

Anthony Gibrayan.

24:44Speaker 9

Anthony Gibrayan.

24:46 – 24:59Speaker 4

My physical letter was opened by Secretary of State for me from D.C., from the Supreme Court. It was opened, looked at, and read.

24:59 – 25:33Speaker 10

I received it on the second day, and I could only influence the date. So, of course, everyone has read my information. That's the conclusion from Anthony Gibrayan. I'm very disappointed about that. But I am committed to my work and what I have done for the past 30 years, namely proclaiming the truth to the rulers, especially regarding the issue of my letter, which was opened and read based on my opinion and views for the past 30 years, in my opinion. Very careful with that, I will meet the council directly next week, become the local council now, and I will talk to the local council now too. Good night.

25:40Speaker 1

Brian Turner, and I think he's here live.

26:09 – 26:32Speaker 3

First, the court does not have the policy to cancel the decision of the BR. In the 90s of the history of the BR, this has never been done, and it requires clear evidence. The historical structure is completely lost. Hundreds of historical properties are in critical condition, and fair action requires determination.

26:32Speaker 10

Second, in this case, the solution does not answer the question of what is lost for the people.

26:40Speaker 3

The comparison request position is part of the hall and included in the newsletter package, the news of the year 1950, which states

27:10 – 27:34Speaker 5

And we indeed received several direct comments. Two from Mr. Brian, who was sent to the council in full, and one was received from Blake Scott under the name of the Wagner Teres Environment Association, asking the city to complete negotiations and address the long-standing issue of green open spaces and Galombore dams, making the location a source of public sea resources for the Wagner Teres community. And those are all the comments we received.

27:35 – 28:29Speaker 3

Thank you, Mr. Nitra. Before we move on to the committee report, I just want to tell the people that there are some questions about the first amendment rules. Some people are talking about it tonight. For clarification, there is no voicemail for that tonight. What is discussed in the Community Development Act is that some possibilities of change will be brought back to the Community Development Act for discussion, and then potentially moved to the City Hall to be examined and or a voice-over at that time. So the next discussion and the possibility of voice-over in the Community Development Act, Public Security, I'm sorry, Mr. Kamer. I'm sorry I said the committee wrong. Let the note say I was wrong about the committee. Not the development of the community, but Mr. Kamer. And the date of the meeting is... I'm sure the next one is on September 15.

28:29Speaker 10

September 15. So, just so people understand the course of the event.

28:31 – 29:22Speaker 3

Okay, let's move on. petitions, and communications. We have several members for the art commission. We have motions to be made and supported as necessary. This is for the art commission and the recreation commission. There is a further discussion about these candidates. If not, all those who agree with the agreement, say so. Those who oppose, those who agree more. Moving on to the committee's communications. Oh, there's nothing there. Now we move on to the agreement. The activities are increasing. We have two committee reports. There should be no action for that. But I call on the members of the MEC or the Chairman of the MEC-DRIVE for a committee on recreation.

29:24 – 30:24Speaker 2

Thank you, Mr. Wakilota. So, on August 20, we held a committee meeting on recreation and long-term care, of course, which is the facilities and reporting of capital projects, which is always a very long and extraordinary list that they manage every week for new care. Agota Dian Skardan suggested the idea of asking for a formal analysis to provide free access to recreation facilities in Charleston for the residents of Charleston who have disabilities, mobility, or legal disabilities, And coincidentally, the day after tomorrow is the Disability Commission and they discuss the topic on the next day. And then also, members of the Skarden Committee asked for an update on the plan to repair the Stephen Washington Park, and we talked about the renewal of the Recreation Program for the Fall Season, which is located around the city of Charleston. It's a good presentation.

30:24Speaker 3

That's all I have to say. Thank you, Chairman McBride. Now, I would like to call, can I ask a question?

30:35Speaker 7

Members of Dewan Elandre, thank you Mr. Wali Kota. What kind of considerations are needed to add a bathroom to the park?

30:40 – 31:43Speaker 3

There are many considerations that go into considering whether to add a bathroom or not. Every garden is different, sometimes it takes a lot of effort just to bring water and waste channels to the bathroom may exist, as well as the potential of its use. In the case of Stephen Washington, when we have the number of dollars determined, we ask the community whether they want X or B, and they choose the bathroom as their choice. So, we try to work with the community to determine the approach that is beneficial. So it all depends, to be honest. There is a further question. Sorry, because it's getting rarer, the recreation is longer. There is another question about that. If not, because Dewan Sili's members have to leave, or the head of Sili has to leave, related to public safety, I believe Dewan Wering's members, you will replace him.

31:44 – 32:09Speaker 9

Yes, Mr. Mayor of the city. The committee did meet. We had a fairly thorough discussion on the first amendment. We thought there were some, and we have the potential for some cooperation, and the process is not finished yet. When it's done, it will return to public safety as you just said, and then it will be submitted to the City Council. So it's just for information.

32:11 – 32:22Speaker 3

All right, thank you Dewan Waring. We now move on to the committee report. We have the first one, Vice President for Community Development.

32:25 – 34:26Speaker 10

Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The Community Development Committee of Charleston City on August 20 at 3 pm. There are three agendas in our report. The first is the Certification Resolution 141, Meeting Street, for the credit for the construction of a suburb of South Carolina, which was approved with a round voice. Next, we had a very long discussion about Dash Hall. We heard from Ashley Hall and her representatives, as well as Preservation Society. And if you are interested in this topic, I suggest you to see the YouTube page of Kota. I will not try to discuss everything in this report now, but it is a very in-depth and long discussion about this property. And that shows how complicated this problem is, especially when facing a beloved institution such as Ashley Hall in our community. So the result of the process is a recommendation to agree to complete the entire work, but to encourage to gather in order to see if they can improve the structure of the completion agreement in a special way to advance, you know, first of all, to give an opportunity to the public to move forward, to provide a better solution for this property, including relocation and also to increase or to further explain the post curriculum and other features from the location. So I want to call on Nona Kritsch, if she's still here, to maybe give us a little update on the specific changes in the resolution agreement to show everyone in the parliament how the development has been since the first time we saw it. So, thank you.

34:30 – 36:06Speaker 1

Good evening, Mali Kota and members of the Dewar. The agreement of completion in Amandemen will allow Ashley Hall to continue the dismantling of the structure, but before making that effort, they will provide it to the interested parties, namely the Nirlaba organization or government organizations for relocation. This will allow the interested parties to come and inspect it, as well as ask it to be examined by a professional for the purpose of applying for a relocation plan. The plan must be submitted to S. Lehal and the city at the latest on October 31 and include relocation locations that can be in the city or outside the city. The licensed contractor identity will do the relocation. enough funding for relocation, adequate insurance, and acceptance of the condition of the building. They then have time until November 30 to complete the relocation, and if it is not completed or there is still a part left after November 30, Ashley Hall is allowed to continue dismantling. This agreement also expands the collaborative effort between the students of Ashley Hall and the City Architect to commemorate this hall, namely participating in the making of historical or monument posters. The plan will be submitted to the History Commission to be approved and the placement of the posters or monument will be located at the location that can be accessed by the public along Smith Street at the latest on December 31, 2020.

36:16 – 38:18Speaker 10

Thank you, Ms. Kritsch. I will finish this report, then we will discuss and agree on what needs to be agreed on afterwards. The last point on our agenda is the discussion on infill. The development of housing in West Eslei in 8-6 Magnolia Road, Nerut. This is lifted because this property is owned by a local developer who wants to build a missing middle house here, but faces technical obstacles. Once again, I recommend those who are interested in this issue to watch the YouTube video. It's very in-depth, very technical, but it shows the challenges faced by the private sector when trying to develop a missing middle home in our community. When we try to overcome the challenges of affordable housing in this city, I think we need to understand the technical obstacles faced by the local private developers. so that we can improve zoning and other regulations for better results. Because this city cannot possibly solve the problem of self-sufficient housing, apart from our ambitious efforts. We have to find a way to make our zoning regulations more conducive for proper-scale housing, so that we can market it on a large scale in order to overcome the problem of rising prices. Our hope is that we can learn from the presentation, include it in the work that is being done by the staff, and hopefully there are recommendations that can be submitted back to the committee later. Regarding this matter. That's my report. I'm not sure if we need to do a voiceover for these things. So we need to give voice to these two things.

38:19Speaker 1

Yes, and the resolution.

38:30Speaker 12

I think agreeing with this report will solve everything agree with the report

38:38 – 39:05Speaker 9

on the DASH Hall agreement. Can I ask the members of the committee or anyone, Nona Magali, to come back to the microphone and discuss the part about if the building is relocated, can you explain the timeline? If there is a progressive labor organization, the time they have to complete the plan, get funding, and everything,

39:07Speaker 1

The relocation plan must be submitted as soon as possible on October 31, and the relocation must be completed as soon as possible on November 30.

39:16 – 47:30Speaker 9

Have we ever had a building in the history of the city of Charleston that, let's say, is 75 years old? Let's say it's not a dance hall. Have we ever had a 75-year-old building in a historic district that we can move in such a short time with a funded plan? Have we ever done it? We have many people with questions in this room. Has it ever happened before? Don't answer with a firm no. So that's the plan that was planned to fail. That is dismantling because of the pollution. I don't know how many members of the council went and saw it, but I've done it. I really went to see it about three or four months ago. And for me, it looks like they want to dismantle the building to add three more parking spaces. Regarding whether it's a daze hall or not, I don't think anyone would argue that at least 76 years old, So if there is a real way to try to move it, let's try to create a successful system. And the time frame in this agreement is designed so that most of the Mirlaba organizations do not have money that is already available or allocated to move historical structures in the city of Charleston. That is the expensive process. A small building, of course, will become a house, no matter where it is located. But someone once lived in that house at some time. And we know how to protect buildings in Charleston when it leaks from above, or install a roof over it. If you don't believe it, whoever is here after Hugo, whoever sells the cover, the roof will make a lot of money, because there are many blue roofs around here. So, Destruction because of demolition is not a question. It has happened. What I am worried about is, if we do this in a building that is old, 75 years old, how many other 75-year-old buildings in the historic district will we keep as the precedent? If we can do this one, will there be two, three, or four others? We can do better than this agreement. I respect Ashley Hall. I respect the history, the name of the history, whatever is on this land. With this time frame, it is not respected. And this city can do better than that. So first, we need more time. They need more time. I think we have a lot of areas in Charleston owned by the school district government or maybe the local government or even the federal government of a small land area that may be found exactly in this area where the property can be moved. That's not a building, it's 3,000 feet wide. The property, I mean the building, can of course be dismantled. The real owners can continue with whatever plans they have. But if we are going to give voice to this agreement, I think this agreement does not allow the organization to move forward. I heard about Panti Aswan Jenkins. Believe me, I have helped Panti Aswan Jenkins in previous years. But I think most of us know that Pantias Wanjengkis is a non-profit organization that lacks funding for its mission. So they will not be able to fulfill the time frame that has just been explained by Nona Krits to all of us so easily. However, with all the abilities in this room, starting from the good people in Ashley Hall, with the head of development, the people who are knowledgeable, with all the people from the historical and conservation organizations, and of course the city, which has existed since 1970, why don't we do better than this agreement? Let's try to find a harder way where this property can be moved and collected funds to help the relocation take place and restoration is done to the small building. However, this history is separated from whether it is a dash hall or not. 75 years in Charleston, a historic district, We need to have better rules, so when we come to a decision like this, I think Mr. Turner gave some advice to the committee that can improve, improve our rules on this matter. And listen, I am part of the mediation with Beach Company and Jasper, as well as what we now know as Jasper or the old Jasper Surgeon. Oh, regarding the attempt to cancel the BR decision, we have to be careful. I am a village boy from West Wesley. But I respect the BR. That's a difficult job. I always... I did the Pita cutting at the Grand Bohemian Hotel a few years ago during the Maduro Emanuel tragedy, and I... Everyone was very happy. And I said, you know, when you go through the PR process and history preservation in Charleston, like the birth process and every father who enters the room with his wife during that process, If you live until 9 years, you will lose 1 year of your life. Okay, you will live until 9 years. But somehow, when the baby was born, I was amazed to see how many people in the department of gynecology, starting from the doctor who helped with the surgery, to the nurse who was there, all of them peeked to see a glimpse of the new life that was born. That is an amazing experience that will be remembered for the rest of your life. Well, right now, one of the good things about Charleston is the buildings. These old buildings, if you've ever been to St. Augustine, there are the oldest egg trees. There are the oldest dog houses. There are the oldest additional buildings. But we use our buildings. Every time I go to Harris Teeter on East Bay Street, it used to be an old house. But I love going to those old houses. Buildings along Broad Street are not just for show. We use these buildings in the city that lives and develops in 2026. And I'm sure those buildings can be properly moved and renovated. But we need more people to push for that to happen. So I'm not going to choose for the rules, I mean for the compromise, because I think who are we lying to? It won't happen. However, if we really want to make an effort, let us unite our efforts with the influence of people from Ashley Hall, with the power of this city, with several lands that I think belong to the government, trying to move the building to Jalan Tol and down, as well as passing the bridge to the Asuhanjingar Panti. We will try to displace it. And later we will try to say, we have tried. But we are not really doing our best. So I hope we can go back and arrange a better financial formula, a better funding formula, and a time frame so that what you suggest, Mr. Helman, and your respected team there, will really happen. Thank you, Mr. Wekota. Thank you, Mr. Nwering. Any questions or further comments on this matter?

47:37Speaker 3

Mr. Mayor, I only have a point, Mr.

47:39 – 48:00Speaker 8

Chair. Only from the perspective of the parliamentary procedure, I don't know if there is a version of agreement to do this or I have to ask the motion to share the question, but I'm sure we have to give voice on points 1 and 2 separately, because the motion was for the complete report to be unified, the motion was for the complete report to be unified, and I'm sure this might be a consideration of being unified, and I'm sure this might be a consideration of being divided. So if that's in the form of a motion or a request to the representative, it's an amendment.

48:01Speaker 1

If anyone who makes the initial motion wants to make an amendment, it will

48:06Speaker 12

No problem, sir. Any questions?

48:09Speaker 4

We can take them separately. So, we will take them separately.

48:12 – 48:40Speaker 3

Let us discuss, Mr. APA, is that the resolution? So, we have a motion to agree, and it has been properly supported at that point. Is there any further discussion on that point? If not, all those who agree, please state your agreement on the most important. Now, for the point related to 148 Smith Street, can I accept the motion? Emotions are made and supported with truth. Is there a further discussion about this?

48:40Speaker 9

May I ask for a voice?

48:42Speaker 3

We can ask for a voice, but before we do it, there is a further discussion. Only Dewan, Dewan SC, member of Dewan SCAD.

48:53 – 49:10Speaker 6

Thank you, Mr. Mayor of the City. I will give a negative voice and I only want to state for the record. I think the lack of evidence from the year 1950, that the building was moved in the year 1950, at least that's the proof that convinced me to choose a negative voice for the record. Okay, Dewan Baldin. I'm just a little bit.

49:18 – 49:29Speaker 10

It may be a wrong word, but the time that the members of Dewan Waring were exposed to, the speaker earlier, may have caused problems. How did we get to that time?

49:29 – 51:51Speaker 3

Could you explain the time related to that? One thing I would like to say about that is that I very much respect the opinion of the Waring Council, but to be honest, this has been discussed for quite a long time. And as far as I know, Ashley Hall always offers the building to be moved to anyone who wants it. I have been told about this issue for months. So, I think there is interest in this matter. I think the process is still a bit long. I agree with the logistics, it might be a bit challenging if the location that is meant to be the Asuhan Jenkins Panti Site. There are many ways to move a building. The building is not big. I suspect I don't want to precede Ashley Hall, but If they need a two-week extension or something else to move them to the location, I am sure they will be very willing to work together with any Nirlaba organization. So, in my opinion, this is a good compromise. I appreciate all the efforts and discussions that have been made on this matter. I very much respect the concerns of preservation society regarding the establishment of a president. However, we have discussed it extensively in the Community Development Committee on how we have reached this point and how the law in South Carolina returns decisions to us as members of the parliament when an issue like this arises. That becomes a lesson for me, and once again, I think the PEL parliament conveys a good point that anyone who wants to deepen it should review closely the development of the community. So I support this resolution and thank all parties who have worked hard to make it happen. Is there a further discussion?

51:52 – 52:48Speaker 12

In short, I would like to give a similar comment to you, Mr. Mayor. The timeline shown to us includes the prerequisites, namely someone must appear and show interest in moving the building. I am sure that if there is a party that is interested in moving that building, which so far has not happened even though you say it has been a long time ago, and more importantly, a lot of resources have been exhausted. If there is one that is moving forward and we stop spending resources to discuss it, then they say, we are interested in taking it, I think there will be resources to make it happen, and there is a delay for the completion of the move. However, the most important time frame is starting now until the date that I think is October 31 to see if there are those who are really interested and have a plan in the future. So I think by agreeing to this agreement, we do not close the gap. We only bring this problem to the next stage.

52:55 – 53:07Speaker 9

All of that sounds good and clear, but is that an agreement between members of the committee? I mean, is it written in the document that we have chosen now? I'm not saying that this has not been debated for a long time, but this is the first time in front of this committee, and the second time.

53:07Speaker 3

Because at first it was like that, then we returned it to the development of the community, and it appeared with this compromise.

53:20 – 54:11Speaker 9

Thank you. I'm safe. Mr. Mayor, I don't want to offend anyone else, but it's no longer a secret that I chose not to be on the committee. I will not choose again tonight. I will not choose with the same reason as when I was on the committee. I believe that although there has been an extraordinary effort, both good and meaningful, to try to answer the questions I ask, namely, can we find evidence of where the structure is and when and how it was moved around the 1950s, That fact is hard to prove. Remembering that fact, we still have a few facts that make sense or mean whether the building is actually a remnant of the DASH Hall or not. Because it has not been completed to my satisfaction, that is the basis of my silence for this agreement agreement.

54:13Speaker 3

All right. Thank you, Member of the Board. Ready. Thank you, Mr. Uli Kota.

54:20 – 55:05Speaker 11

I just want, I agree, with the members of the Waring Commission, especially when it comes to asking the Nirlaba organization to prepare it, it's too short. I know some of us here have worked at the Nirlaba Commission or have worked for the Nirlaba organization and collecting funds that are significant in 60 days is a heavy demand when the capital campaign and other things take years to plan. So they think that until October 31, it is enough for the Nirlaba organization to prepare something useful to move this if they want. In my opinion, as the members of the Waring Council said. Even though this has been discussed, from time to time, it will still not be enough to do it. So I will choose not for this.

55:15 – 55:27Speaker 7

Is there any further discussion? Okay, thank you, Mr. Bay. If we postpone it, can we change the date or what happens if this fails tonight?

55:27 – 55:47Speaker 3

It must be discussed again by the parties and conveyed back to us with maybe the date or condition that is revised or whatever. It seems that there are concerns about the screen at this time.

55:47Speaker 12

The parties are the City Government and Ashley Hall. So I ask for the speaker's voice here and let's discuss the results.

55:56Speaker 10

Personally, I think this solution allows the story of the Das and Das Hall family to be told. I don't know how the story will be told if we don't agree with this. So I choose

56:11Speaker 3

All right. The abstention request is postponed. So, Mr. Ramon, please proceed with the abstention. Members of the House of Representatives.

56:17Speaker 5

Members of the House of Representatives choose to agree. Members of the House of Representatives. Members of the House of Representatives.

57:26Speaker 5

57:34Speaker 3

Let's continue. Now we turn to Mr. Balden regarding the human resources report.

57:46 – 1:00:42Speaker 10

We have discussed the biggest things on the agenda. We met on August 20 at 4 p.m. We spent most of the meeting time discussing the budget for health services. Unfortunately, there are some things that are out of our control to push the budget. And unfortunately, the budget even increased due to I have to say that the HR and SAP departments have worked tremendously to try to reduce costs in the future, including with more treatment options, distance and things that make physiotherapy easier if someone has a back injury or back pain. things that can last for a long time and consume a lot of money for its treatment. So, more information will follow, but as Nona Morton said, hopefully the cost can be more controlled in the future, hopefully everything goes smoothly. We have had a brief discussion about the compensation study. I think it's over and it's starting to be implemented. We also discussed the drug test policy for this city. In my opinion, this is a very big problem. This may look small in the big picture, but there are implications of the fourth amendment there. The Supreme Court dealing with this year's case where they discussed the use of marijuana. And one of the judges admitted that there might be someone in the court who uses marijuana to help them sleep. So when it was discussed in the court room like that, maybe it was time for society to rethink our position on marijuana and whether we are trapped in a war against drugs that has been lost for a long time. And does that affect our ability to recruit and maintain employees, which, as we discussed earlier, is very expensive? Of course there are some people, I'm sure I'm being watched by the head of the police there. Maybe our staff who swear needs to be treated a little differently under this policy, as well as those who have a license from the federal transportation department and the like. So there are still a lot of things that need to be done, but I think this is worthy of further study in order to get a reasonable policy for this city. We should be discussing the parents' leave, but the members of Dewan Skardan cannot attend with us, and I know that this is something that is very important for them, as it is for all of us who have children of the same age, in my opinion. And so we will discuss it at our next meeting.

1:00:47 – 1:02:27Speaker 3

Okay, can I get a motion to adopt the report? The motion is proposed and supported by the Assembly. Is there any further discussion? All those who agree, please say so. Greg, now it's Greg's turn for the Committee on Methods and Methods for the second one. The motion is proposed and supported by the Assembly to adopt the report on Methods and Methods. I would like to add one more comment here and continue the note. During the meeting, I talked about the last point in this agenda regarding the 5 million bonus that we give to our employees and that it is based on performance based on the performance test that is given and people are rated 1, 2, or 3. What I want to make sure that everyone knows is that everyone who gets a score of 2 will get the same amount of money. I think I said that in the prologue. It will be the same amount of dollars if you earn $30,000. So it will give a big boost for those who are at the bottom. The same goes for those who get 3, the amount of dollars is the same. So I'm talking wrongly. I just want to make sure that the note is clear. Very excited to send the bonus. kepada karyawan kami dalam hari-hari mendatang. Jadi kita memiliki mausnya yang diajukan dan didukung dengan semestinya untuk mengadopsi laporan ini. Semua yang setuju harap katakan ya, I understand that there is only one bill for the third reading that has been postponed. We now have 12 bill plans for the second reading. Can I ask a short question about the bill plans for the third reading regarding why it was postponed?

1:02:27Speaker 11

Was it postponed while we were waiting for the Berkeley County to do whatever they did?

1:02:29Speaker 12

Because I know we will be asked about it tomorrow night at Daniel Island. We are three.

1:02:44 – 1:03:50Speaker 3

Um, that's right. Your assessment is correct. Okay, thank you. In the discussion on these points, if not, all those who agree, please state by saying yes. Those who do not agree, please accept. I appeal to the third reading and ratification for numbers 1 to 2. The motion has been proposed and supported correctly for the third reading on 12 points. If there is no further discussion, all those who agree, state by saying yes. Those who do not agree, please accept. a bill for the first reading of the advisory committee and the continuation of it. Could I get something that is very slow? Not too slow, friends. We have submitted motions that have

1:03:58 – 1:04:15Speaker 11

And I just want to add that this is part of re-arranging several committees and committees, as we have discussed before, to ensure that we advance various things with the best opportunity for the city in terms of committees and committees. Because as we know, many of us are in charge there. So I just want to repeat it.

1:04:18Speaker 3

Is there anything else you want to add, Chairman?

1:04:20 – 1:04:52Speaker 8

Hi, Mr. Wali Kota, Mr. Sarah. I will add something that I learned while watching the council meeting. I was quite confused during this period. Mr. Wali Kota, why is this happening? And the reason why this is happening to people here is because the Wali Kota must abide by the regional regulations that we abide by between reading II and III. So, they abide by the right documents after reading III. And they must do it when we are here so that they do not know how to act with this city or anything. So, this is what is happening right now if you wonder why we are behaving strangely.

1:04:52 – 1:05:45Speaker 10

So, to fill the atmosphere at this challenging time, I would like to represent several regional governments in all parts of the country. I will not mention any names here, but one of the regional governments that I represent has been listed under the FOIA. And the claim is that the rules that we adopt do not comply with the law of the state because we do not read it. I mean reading the words in the rules. All of them, every single word. So we have to argue in court that the word reading does not mean reading. So the more you know, The more you know, the more we do it in the right way here.

1:05:45 – 1:06:03Speaker 3

A note from District 4 reads all the regional regulations. Good. All right, we have proposed a motion and supported it. We have to hold a voice vote for the last point. All those who agree, state that you agree. Those who do not agree are dismissed. Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 12, at 5 p.m. If there is no further discussion, this meeting is closed.
