“Let's get back to the reaffirmation that, hey, we have a plan. That's a great idea the more I think about it. We do need to remind people, not just our residents but our businesses, but also the potential businesses that might be looking at us from the outside to know what's going on. And in the it seems to build category, maybe we can take advantage of our creative services folks who do a great job and put together something that can be available online or be available to be sent out or just to keep it in front of everybody because the idea that we have a plan is a nice thing but let's keep…”

“Yeah, repairs. I know in the city there are a couple of areas looking at bike paths, right, where you're on this nice bike path, and then all of a sudden it ends, and you're thrown out into the street, but you've got another 100 yards before you get to the end of that street. So this could be used to... possibly solve those situations as well?”

“A couple of questions. the type of individual that we're looking for. What are the credentials that we're going to be looking for? In other words, not just maybe past history, but are they certified, that type of thing? Are we really looking for a coordinator or a planner or both? And then my last question is, what's going to be the compensation range?”

“There are certification programs for coordinators and event planners, that type of thing. I personally would like to note that they... besides the on-the-job training, for lack of a better description, that they have the educational backgrounds to deal with what we're looking for.”

“I think that's the answer to the question, is that we know that at certain times of the year, we are just wearing our people out. We've talked about this a lot. But if we have this type of person, I mean, part of their objective would be to look at what are the open opportunities that would not impact our personnel as much in different parts of the year. You know, we're still talking about and dealing with a new type of concert that might be coming to the city. You know, maybe if we had an event coordinator, that person could have already looked at where the conflicts might be and say, okay,…”

“I think, too, that just through... reiterated is that the monies that we're talking about the city would be putting into this project is the last dollar in. And as we've discussed, something goes awry along the way, we're saved harmless. We've got that protection behind us. I think it's very important for everybody to understand Anybody else? Just a statement. Yes, sir.”

“Anybody else? I think at the end of the day, I mean, yeah, there are a lot of details and they're very, very important. But I know council recognize and I really feel the business community recognizes that We do need this extra money coming in specifically for tourism-related capital improvement projects, specifically for that, if we're gonna move forward. It's just not gonna come from any place else. The other part of it is that I hear about we're gonna approach Columbia and everything else, but when you think about it, just in a very level way. What we're talking about, and I think Mark has…”

We would do the research, probably bring in the Municipal Association of South Carolina and talk about what it's going to take to basically change our form of government in this way. What are the pros and what are…”

“And so I would ask that staff take a look at scheduling now to where we can host these seminars. I don't know that I'd call it a seminar, but an informational session. Yeah, whatever we would like to call it, an informational session. And then there will also be, and we need to recognize, suspect most of this will be done in the evening hours and so then we have to look at staffing what the what the whole package is going to take do we need to do any printing do we need to have handouts that type of thing but I would ask staff to start to take a look at that I'd like to see it start before…”
