sounds like a good compromise because in other situations and correct me if i'm wrong but we require the roads to be up to our standard to take them and since that's not going to be able to happen having them pave it to bring it up to the highest standard before we enter the agreement sounds like a really good compromise this is the best one we could come up with

I do have one quick question. especially downtown and everything, do we have any panhandling signs and where may they be? Panhandling signs? Or do we?

2:05:20•Jackie Hatley

Yeah. I mean, I'm just wondering if we need something on Broadway, maybe, I don't know. That'd be allowed. We allow that in Myrtle Beach?

2:06:25 – 2:06:41•Deborah “Debbie” K. Conner, Ph.D.

Well, hearing from our business owners on Broadway, I think, We need to evaluate that situation. The benches, public safety, Mike, can give some input into that to support those businesses.
