“Yes. One slight correction, the minutes of August 11th. On page five, it's Beaufort County and not Jasper County, and I'll hand that minor correction to the clerk.”

“Hey, Jared. Thank you for your report. A couple things. You kind of went quickly through the construction time period. So I understand perhaps that bids would be lit in the winter, hopefully fall winter of 2027. Yes. And then construction would start in 2028, in the early part of 2028. And then the timetable is completion of construction in what part of 2030?”

“That's a question I'm most often asked. When is it going to be completed? So I wanted to confirm that. The other thing, it's interesting about the resubmission of the grant to the federal, I guess it's USDOT or Federal Highway.”

“Okay. All right. And we don't know that time period. But if that grant is awarded, then we're going to be back to the situation of if there's additional money, then we've got to decide whether or not to reconsider this current project and go back to the previous project. It seems as though, what will be the process, so once the county receives that information, and I guess it's SEDOT and the county, who are the applicants, once that information is received, what is the process for informing the town of Hilton Head about those results?”

“And my concern is because last time there was a lag in providing information to the town of Hilton Head as to the status of the grant. I think I finally heard it during a chat with county council members at the library. So I think we need to be assured that there's gonna be right away notice to the town about the determination of that grant. So that's the first thing. And then the other thing is I asked you at a previous meeting about the time period. Folks are concerned about the condition the span going over Mackay Creek and understood that SEDOT is working on some measures to increase the…”

“GREAT. THANK YOU. AND GOING BACK TO THIS GRANT REQUEST, IS THERE A TIME IN THIS PROCESS ON THE EASTBOUND at which we need to say, go ahead, no matter what the determination is on the grant, is there a time period during the current timeline that we must say, no matter what you do with the other money, we got to proceed? And what would that be?”

“But probably during that bid process, the fall, or winter of 2027. That's probably when we're looking at that, if you will, drop dead time.”

“Thank you for the report, both written and what we heard today. First of all, thank you for promoting our island events. And I know you had some data in here, but I think it'd be good to see a little more data about perhaps a return on the marketing investment to see if there is hopefully some increase in attendance to island events. I think if there's some way to track the data, that'd be helpful.”

“Great, great. And the other thing I wanted to thank you for is the, sharing of data, I guess it's the geofencing data, to the applicants to ATACS grants. I either sat in on or I've listened to almost all of the applicants' presentations. I have a few more to go. But a number of them said thanks to the chamber, the DMO, for sharing that data with them because one of the data pieces that the committee wants to know about is how many people did you have and where did they come from? And so a number of applicants said yes. when they were asked, what did your data come from? They said from the…”

“Okay, that was my first question. And then the other is we don't have a cost estimate for doing that. So are we then looking to, and I think for the public, it'd be good to say, and I think it is in gray, if you will. The gray is the current Beaufort County SEDOT project, the eastbound project. Am I right? The gray color across the bridge and then see Heinrich Circle and then back towards Hog Island. Okay. I thought it would be helpful to at least point that out to the public that we are not doing that project from the bridge all the way down there. There's some separate things that are…”

“Right. Just, yeah. Okay. And then, The rest of it, this doesn't show all of the different projects, but I did think it would be helpful to point out to the public what we're talking about right there, and that that is something that we're looking to the county and SEDOT to include in their current project, not that we're including in the master plan.”
Town Council · Sep 15, 2026

“Okay, good, good. But it's not really, On the list of projects, it's part of the master plan. It is not. Is my point, okay. All right, I just want to clarify that. And then the other thing, and I did write down, sorry, the page number, but where you show Project B, Squire Pope Road with the continuous green? Yeah, one back. Perfect. And this issue I raised before at the workshops, and that is just to let the public know that what this means is if you're coming down Squire Pope Road and you wanna go over to Old Schoolhouse Park by using Chamberlain Drive access, you won't be able to do that…”

“And then you have to go across a couple lanes of traffic to get quickly over to Adriana Lane. So that's a really tough navigation. I just want people to know that. It's not that I'm against that plan or against the continuous green, but I want folks to know, coming off Squire Pope Road, it's a different way to get to turn left and to get to old school house park to play pickleball. So, okay. And then the last thing is that we have some money in our current budget for some of these projects to start with. And I think it'd be helpful to remind us of how much money is there in the current budget…”
Town Council · Sep 15, 2026

“And perhaps the point is, is that we do have some money in the budget, not all of this money, but some money to start the coming up with the drawings, not the permitting and construction, but coming up with the design.”

“okay thank you sorry about that and the last thing is a technical thing about the resolution itself um uh before the um for the signature lines um in um it's on the last page of the resolution number three um three a i think there's a verb missing so um it seems as though it says town manager is authorized to do the following and a says as the framework there's no verb maybe it's should say serve as the framework but i didn't want us to get that signed without a technical correction that's it mayor thank you okay thank you other comments questions from council”
