Hi Item number 52 resolution number r2019-096 Authorizing the city manner to execute an agreement concerning electrical service rights between fairfield electric cooperative tri county Electric cooperative and midlands carolina electric cooperative ink and dominion energy south carolina ink So moved say second second discussion saying none. I'm sorry mr. Rickman Just for clarification this calls for the city to begin negotiations a franchise agreement with the providers Do we know where we are on that before we begin voting? We have not really started those negotiations staff is looking at a list of what items we would like to Talk about during negotiations to bring to council But those have not started yet. Well, I guess my concern is that we're authorizing the city manager to to Agree to something that we haven't seen yet. So i'm not sure that we should be voting on this at this time So we're not agreeing to the negotiated franchise. We're agreeing that we will start negotiations What we're agreeing to here is the service map that dominion and the electric co-ops have agreed upon Well the resolution calls for the city manager to execute the agreement concerning the electrical rights between these agencies So that's not what our which is the service map There should be a map attached in the agreement though We have acknowledged that we will begin negotiations for the franchise agreements Like a lot of language for just a map So so what they have done is gone through the service area and divided the territories Not only what it's what already has power But the map of the entire areas so that as development happens They already know which service provider will provide the power We just need to consent to that and this is part of the requirement of public service commission to the electric providers We will be starting negotiations early on our franchise agreement. Um, really we would have an Till I think 2032 but dominion and all the electric providers Are being required to get their franchise agreements on the same cycle So they've asked that we go ahead and start negotiating the franchise and That presents exciting opportunities for everybody except for mr. Absolutely, we pointed that out to you agree mr. Katena. Do you agree? Okay. All right, uh, mr Badura the quick question. I don't know once you start talking and maybe We're negotiating is it going to affect the revenue that we're generating from the franchise as So right now all we're doing is consenting to their service area map When we start negotiating franchise agreements, we'll get into those conversations I don't think there's much flexibility as far as the franchise payment But that part of the negotiations have not started All right, thank you So just consistent with the earlier questions. We're talking about The maps we want to have a much more engaged conversation around the franchise agreements and what that looks like And we expect that not to be not to be negotiated or executed. I should say Between now and then so I want a question. That was a statement. All right. Okay. All right. Thanks. We're good Thank you. Um, with the previous question court call the roll. Mr. Rickaman. No, mr. Mcdowell. Yes Mr. Duvall. Hi, mr. Badura. Hi, mr. Vine. Hi, mr. David. Hi, mr. Benjamin.

Hi Item 57 resolution number r 2019-105 authorizing the city manager to execute a We hold this item No objection No objection. We have we don't have any maintenance numbers or anything. I just I feel like We shouldn't be signing anything until we know exactly what our costs We're talking he sent out the They're they're not part of this document and they haven't been sent out to the public And I feel like we talked about this before but I get I have no problem holding it for next meeting So in terms of long term maintenance costs for that portion of the we got to have some type of estimate to understand what we're signing up for The costs and how that plays in because this is once again an ongoing maintenance issue That affects our budget in the future ongoing So I think we need to have a clear we need to make sure the public knows what we're committed to We could have all this done by next Tuesday. It shouldn't be an issue Sure. Sure. Let's make sure we have very specifically what uh, Mr Rick, you have some numbers you want to share now randy or you want uh He sent them out to us this morning Earlier today, but we can have those numbers definitely. Yeah, so let's let's let's deal with that already this next week Resend again. So it's the top of our inboxes and we'll have an agenda for next Tuesday. All right. Okay. Cool. Cool All right And I neglected because he's hiding way in the back to recognize council elect will brennan will stand up We're glad glad to have you here as well. All right. All right I made my way through that pretty pretty good Young people you still enthused about democracy. We still got you. You're still with us for a little while All right. What kind of notes are you taking? All right, um, I think we're in a period of appointments now Uh, Ms. Jenkins, I think it's I think it's your show All right, so, um, I know we have a number of nominees that came from b-pack recommended But some have not yet completed applications Please take up those who who've uh, who completed applications and may also be nominated any other obviously nominations that uh council me Let me Uh, I think we're doing the bicycle pedestrian advisor committee first. Yes, sir. All right So it's the reappointment. Oh, yes, sir a bunch of hands up. Okay. Yeah, all right. Um, You're right some of the uh applications may not Be on file and I have two for b-pack. Oh, okay Um, and now we can get those to you. We don't you all have a total of 10 So obviously the option to wait right and district one didn't have any and 10 to attend up we have 10 vacant season b-pack 10 and including of course, uh reappointing the chair All right. Okay. Who's who's interested in reappointment? Yes. All right. Uh, how many folks we have who are Currently nominated by b-pack and interested and have completed applications. Yeah, so currently, um, Alyssa was sent over that has one two three four five six seven seven people that were recommended By the chair and we discussed it with the majority of them have applied I believe one that I'm looking at now is on food policy. Mr. Ando if he's still on that And then can't serve him both. I was thinking we just appointed him to he probably maybe he applied Several at the same time. So I would take him. He did. Mr. Um, Mr, uh McDowell You have yours ready to go already and folks who have applied because it seems like we might have a bunch of interest So I want to make sure we're not rushing anything through if we have to give some more consideration You can fill those 10 slots faster. Yeah, the two, um, I'm okay with the two you that those are those are definite And also the I believe the chairman of the committee um noted A couple of months ago that there were no, um District one participation from district one. I think that's something that um, they mentioned when I had a conversation with the chair They're really want to make sure it's different. Mr. McDowell, you had a question statement I don't have a question or a statement. I have a nomination Okay Bart Walworth Yes, sir. Are we taking nomination or you want to hold it? He he is one of the ones nominated by the chair and I don't like that All right, so Yeah, so you Bart so you got Bart, okay, um Did you have your two names already and they applied yet? We need to get applications in The application you'll get that this week. All right, so and um, did anyone else have John Corbett John Corbett is he on is uh, he's on these are on the list. John's already. He is on the list Showed interest. I talked to him a couple of months ago. Yeah, he's great. Are there any other nominations Other than those who are um On the list they're they're list. Um, the list that the chair We need to reappoint the chair. Ms. Galardi. Yes, and then she has recommended in addition to Bart Zachary Pippin Emily Beasley John Endo I believe that's it Susan forest So Cal Kelly Cabin on the Bart Walworth and two of those we don't have but Which ones do we not have applications from yet the Cabinaw? All right, so so we'll hold on those until we have uh, fully vetted applications I get some clarity on mr. Ando if he's just serving on food policy already. We can't serve on two committees So in in the in the interim, um Let's let's make a have a complete understanding. We're going to hold maybe two slots open for district one appointees And not act on two of those. So we'll move forward with eight Um, not eight if we have eight in those slots So we'll we'll advance the nominations of chairwoman galardi Emily Beasley forest Pippin and walruth right now Which I think is one two three four Five Five Could you get some clarity for mr. Ando as to whether he prefers to serve on one or the other? Okay, you can't serve on two and again, um Expect some applications from mr. Uh davis On district one appointees and pursue the applications of mr. Kyle and Ms. Cavanaugh Got it. Yes, sir. As a motion. Is there a second second any discussion? So you know with the previous question Mr. Rickerman, hi So the next item up for consideration is the central middlest council of governments And it is the re-appointment of councilwoman tamika azik divine or the appointment of a new council member to serve with that board Someone else who's interested in doing that. He interested to make his I'll make a motion really really important to me guys in divine No, seriously, I would like for someone else if they can I'll go if no one else wants to but we can hold it till january Yeah, well to january. I got I got I got a suck of We're gonna pull it to january Mr. Mayor orientation I believe we could make the motion just like most places Just leave it hanging out Go ahead and make the motion. Who would that we delay to A hazing ritual Mr. Mayor, I'd like to to nominate mr. Brennan to be our representative on second I suck at that it's good because he does not get a vote Or the ability to dissent with the previous question court color rolls Hi, mr. McDowell I don't know if that's legal, but sure I mean, I'd love to see we'll do that, but can we do that without being we can it's a designee It's a council person or designee. All right, so he's so we'll go from being a designee to being a council person Yes, mr. Duvall. All right, let's come first sir Mr. Badura, sure Mr. Davis and Mayor Benjamin. All right, we've got about six more committees here that had to be filled up too, so Will's gonna he's gonna be here with a bunch of homework. So all right. I Thank you. All right So the next one up is the climate protection action committee. We just seem to appoint another individual to fill an open Mr. Davis have one we don't have a representation Uh from that so I've I've got another name that that will come with you to you. Okay, so you want to hold on that one? Yeah, okay. Okay, so but for clarification. I thought um, we needed someone from district two And then we need a planner I believe when I talk I didn't see anything Oh no, I'm sorry looking at ddrc. Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Was that climate not for district two CPAC, okay So there's no with CPAC and I discuss this with them. There's no particular Thing in their bylaws that says that it has to be from any particular district But they are aware and want to make sure that they have representation. We do and then Can we also um Ashley check I spoke to a group from CPAC and they were um They were um, they had some ideas. Um And that lori's It's a qualsky dr. Z. Yeah, dr. Z. Yeah, she had some ideas of some folks as well. So Proceed that So maybe just also reach out to her so we can make sure we get some Folks and then can we also check and make sure that people are participating actively? Current appointees are actively participating Definitely A lot of important work to be done there okay and Also, Ashley, would you also see if we're capped out on the number of members we can add there Can we add more members to see back? Yeah, okay. Just we find out statutorily Thank you. All right, we're gonna hold on on that. All right drc We don't have Yes, sir. I'm here. I have two Is that two it is one for district two and one as a planner So we don't have a planner application. Yeah, that's That's been the hardest And we have two people from that work in district two, but don't live in district two And that's another matter. I wanted to put it on the next district three already has three people on it. So We hold it into January 220. We can I mean december We can because the issue was that is a one person resign due to their health Unexpectedly I would I would say this if let's uh, let's do some aggressive individual due diligence and trying to find other people However, we desperately need a planner and you got I mean the other I just think the The expertise at Cox and Dinkins is I mean we rely on them so much ourselves for their work If we can't find someone else, I I'd I'd be excited about moving forward. Sanford Dinkins. Sanford Dinkins. That's what you're saying Yes, sir. I think I'm uh, he approached me a couple of times. He's really eager to serve so So, I mean unless I mean unless someone wants to dig a little deeper to get some geographic diversity That's one of our specific skill sets that we got to make sure we fill and it's so important in a space like this There's some hesitance will defer and when we take up the other ones, uh, mr. McDowell otherwise, um I'm fine moving forward with a good a solid planner from a quality firm That's deferred to december. Yes, sir. We'll defer it to next week. Yes, sir. All right and mayor we've started changing how we Send out the information as well. So we send it to various Leadership organizations and we also send it columbia council neighborhood presidents. So we're hoping to kind of get some representation from different districts from that as well Yeah, we are looking for Some djrc. We're still looking for two community representative The district two Okay, so we'll still have district two slot. Mm-hmm. Yes, sir all right So we currently this is one of the few, uh boards we actually do have geographic representation from everywhere except for one district. Yes, so All right, so what we'll we'll hold On all appointments till next week and then the interim Ed you give you give us a district application, um Is mr. Dinkins the only planner we have who's applied? Okay, so we'll just take them both at the same time next week All right Thank you Uh next up we have the municipal election commission This was on the last agenda, but we didn't reappoint dr. Coe So we actually have one vacancy not two Reappoint her Just oh my I'm sorry. This is the memo from the last meeting we just forwarded over It's just a reappoint.

I was going Yes, sir. I'm right rock and roll. What's what's oh, yeah um What's what's the uh, I mean we can but what's the what's the reticence moe? Uh, These are I know these have been I only got three applicants rub scrub. We got four But we need seven Let's get three more. I mean but I mean yeah, so let's move. I I know that they We're eager for them to get to work on something So I'd like to at least start constituting the uh the board and and let's get this unless um, make sure we Put a clearing call for more applications, but in the meantime I want to move the appointments of mr. Schenck mr. Snellgrove miss kim and miss morris and I'll provide one Okay, I'll put other slots. Yeah Okay, so that will fill all the so it will be no more slots That's gonna be three appointments three appointments. Yeah, so we have three appointments that are unexpired that were city appointed Already and so those people are still standing and actually won't expire probably until next year Now these four additional that you're pointing out will max us out and fill us out It's a seven the rest of the appointments on that committee are actually going to come from the foundation themselves So so district one has three people on it already. So you can't have another person From district one on there so noted It's a great group, um And they actually have a few other people that they asked to apply as well um That we could consider I know there's but they haven't applied yet. He's been working with them to send their Who asked to apply? Um, they were recommended Of the foundation. So can they be the found because you're saying the foundation can appoint their own They can so they can be a foundation appointee. Absolutely can. Yes, ma'am. So How many slots do they have to fill? All three of these guys are funded by the city So we get seven and I believe that they appoint like Like a Whole bunch, but there's only and I can check on the exact number, but that we only get seven as a city. So, um, again Go ahead That's right. The total amount it has to be at least 15. So they get an additional eight The city appoint seven and eight more that the board can appoint. No, I mean we asked and and and um Fred and others helped us effectively curate this list. It's a good quality list If it looks like there's a desire for some more regional representation from the from the council districts Then then we can let them use their self-apetuating board slots to to make these appointments So some of these appointments, but but I just want to kind of give everyone a A sense of urgency that we need applications. We need bodies. So good people. So if you got some names Can we can we crank some out the next do we have any meetings that we have in december? All right, so so by the by the second week in december As if you want to repost and remind all all council members Let's make sure Randy make sure we communicate to you or henry we communicate to fred That we these are good quality applicants. We may rely on them to use their self-apetuating Authority to add some of these members Council is going to kind of reach out to some constituents to try and get some more balanced geographic representation But they will make these by the second meeting in in in december. All right, so just need council to really really Push to get some new applications in asa I think the purpose of this foundation is really to be able to Raise funds and do other things and I think we got to take that in consideration. I mean all good quality folks, but you know All three of them are funded by the city You know, we need folks who are out, you know, who can bring their business Businesses to the table Absolutely and serve as a wonderful Kind of conduit for for for private contributions as well But that requires us to come up with some really good names. So y'all y'all y'all dig deep and find some good quality applicants Let's not take any of these applicants applications off the board. They're all good folks But we might rely on the on the board itself to fill those slots. So we'll do it by it's the 17th By the 17th we'll we'll have our second meeting And if we don't have applications, we need we're gonna go ahead and move forward. Okay Fair enough Thank y'all.
