City Council Committee referrals, reports and new business item 22 healthy start funding request. The Honorable Daniel J. Recommend, Mayor. Yeah, if you recalled healthy starts had reached out to us early on and since then they have have raised some of the money. Their project was about $194,000 over due to costs of construction, COVID, etc. They had had raised all the money previously. They're located right outside the city, but their clientele is the majority of our most challenged areas to provide healthy food at a discounted price through a trust fund for some of the offtake on the SNAP program that was brought forth by Senator Pinkney before he passed away. And so they've been able to do this. This project started off as a project here and in Columbia and has grown to multiple counties throughout the state. It was hatched through the University of South Carolina's health. I shouldn't say it's not the public health school, but the medical school here in Columbia. And I would recommend that we help them finish this project. Their request is it has been in your packet. We have some resilience funds that we appropriated for this type of group and request from last year that's left over. And I would suggest that we move forward on their request. I make the motion. I'm gonna have a second. This discussion was this information sent out? Yeah. In our packet. How much is the request for? For $80,000 original request for was for the whole 94. This would cover the HVAC to finish up the project off two nights road. How much do the county put it? Yeah, this is in the county. To be honest, I don't know how much out of the eight or 900 the county put in. I don't have that exact dollar. I do believe they put money. I can't tell you the amount I would be lying if I tried to make up a number. And where are you suggesting the funding source be the left over money from the resilience fund that was adopted during the pandemic that was set up for for this type of operations? What are those resilience funds eligible? What was the eligibility for that? Is it for basic services? I mean, I talk about it. Yes, ma'am. I'm just gonna read because I figured you had asked the question as the council formerly seated council established the funding mechanism in March of 2020. Columbia City Council established the resilient Columbia nonprofit stabilization grant program. The purpose was to provide operational support for nonprofits providing direct community services in response to COVID-19 through the action of Columbia City Council total funding of 450,000 was allocated for the program. As of today, 300,000 is remaining for allocation. Eligible programs and services provided by applicable nonprofit organizations include food, shelter, rent assistance and utility assistance. So I'm sorry, Mr. So initially the funds were set up for COVID was it was a COVID relief funds or what? Did we make it COVID relief with many branches? Well, during that timeframe, if you recall, Reverend McDowell, the council established funding grants for small businesses and that type of thing. In addition, the council allocated 450,000 towards nonprofit stabilization grants. And it was for those reasons I outlined the eligible activities or for programs that impacted services regarding food, shelter, rent assistance and utility assistance through the nonprofit entity. And I do have to apologize, Mayor, because I thought in the email exchanges that councilman devolved, I'm sorry, I can't hear you, Mr. Herbert. Sorry. I didn't read this particular project because I thought in the email exchanges from Mr. Devall, he said he wanted to hear more. And I thought the response was it would be brought up in future setting of future. This isn't the same thing that Mr. Devall asked me about. Mr. Devall asked me about gun violence and the slow 20 is plenty. Mr. Mayor, I just want to make sure, I mean, I'm old for that. I just want to make sure that the fund, the fund balance will support the $80,000. Yes, sir. Leaving us with a balance of how much? We have 300,000 now. So we would take the 80 from that. Okay. I just want to make sure we don't mingle COVID monies because of the rise of the beast and we not have funds if of course, this continues to rise and we get into another quote unquote pandemic. Having funds available for that would certainly be, would certainly be good to have. So if we're doing $80,000 and we've got a we've got a balance of still about $300,000. An example that you funded previously was food share from these funds. The food share program was an example. I'd have to get the staff to pull some other examples of what you utilize the funds for when there was a, you know, a process of people applying at the time. But evidently, there was only a very limited amount, I guess 150,000 maybe that we allocated previously. Mr. Taylor, could you we can't hear you? I'm a fairly significant fan of this group. And I do have some concern for us going outside the city with it. What the county county is doing. Yeah, they're on two knots right on the other side of the line. 62% of close to that maybe somewhere between 57 and 62% of it. They serve our community. So I think it's a well worth investment for us. And along those same lines, I'm assuming there was no usually some of our funds required that you be located in this city. That was not a requirement of this funding. I don't recall the council at the time specifying due to the nature of what was going on at the height of when this was allocated. But the staff and I can research and see if we have no problem moving this to the next agenda. If we can answer any questions from any council members. I truly believe it's a well worthy. That's why then this request has come up previously and they've done some work in between. But I have no problem if there's still questions that that need to be answered some clarifications for folks. I'm glad to do that. I just I hope it's things come up on our agenda and people have questions in the future that you know, let me know as well. Because I'd like to get them answered before so but the will of council is to hold it and get some questions answered. I have I have no qualms about it. I still stand behind the support for this agency. Yeah, I think I was I think I was next. Okay, go ahead. So I the question that I have is based on how city manager Wilson read the resilience fund kind of criteria feels like those funds are supposed to be used for direct services that impact our community and it and from what I understand this is going to cover the HVAC. And so I would just like to learn more information as to what the intent was of those funds was it to help you know, help with the building costs. That's what's giving me pause. I have no problem giving money towards direct services that provide food insecure communities with the resources that they need but to pay for someone's HVACs but then not another nonprofits. I just I'm I'm I would like to know a little bit more. Mr. Mayor, if I remember correctly, when this resilient fund was set up, it was set up primarily for COVID relief. Well, it's not for it's for for nonprofits affected by COVID which yeah, which was one of the reasons here but I want to make sure that everybody has their questions answered because it's a worthwhile project that really does affect the most vulnerable in our community. It provides a service that's invaluable. So I'm going to withdraw my motion asked for it to be put on August 16th. Anybody has any questions or clarifications? If I don't hear from you, then I'm assuming that you you are supportive and we'll just move forward from there. Thank you. We're at new business or referrals and reports. We have referrals. Yes. Mr. Taylor, Dr. Bussles, Mr. Brennan, 2221 real estate, Divine Street to the ED committee. I have two more to go ahead one time or do you want to do them? If you'll do them all collectively, that would be beneficial. 21 Divine Street to the Economic Development Committee. Yes. And then refer certain ED projects and our incentive policy or SSRC policies to the Economic Development Committee for the public record. Mr. Taylor, would you mind just explaining SSRC? Not everybody knows what that is. Just said the public knows what we're doing. On some major projects, there have been histories of the county in the city working together to do some property tax reductions. And it's what our policy is and congenit discussions with the county, kind of going forward on those type projects may be, there may be two or three out there right now that that we probably should take a look at and make sure we're in agreement with what the county wants to do, and that it enhances the city's position. And that we have a kind of a firm policy going forward and never be discussed at the committee and brought back to the county. I mean, excuse me, brought back to the city council. These are for the credits you may receive if you if you're able to negotiate such a deal. I just want to make sure people knew what that was. And then you had a third one. Yes, I would like to refer the grease trap re big proposal that we've talked to back to the Economic Development Committee. Right. For discussion. So we'll take those three. That's 2221 Divine Street SSR credits SRC credit, excuse me, and the grease trap. We call that we don't call it rebate program. Is that our term we use rebate program? So that's in the form of motion. Is there a second? So we have first and second madam clerk. Did you read the role? Mr. Taylor, Ms. Herbert, Dr. Bussells, Mr. Brennan, Mr. McDowell, Mr. Duvall. I may recommend. Hi, Dr. Bussells, may recommend if I might. Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry. Yes, sir. For the sake of clarity and everybody's understanding going forward with the incentives and any E.D. projects that may have to be discussed in executive session is the consensus of the council that the committee will go into executive session to discuss those items. Thank y'all Patty. Okay, ma'am. We had to put that on the record. I know you've been tied up, but I did send out a memo making sure that that was all in that. So I saw the memo. I wanted to make sure everyone on the council understood what that meant. Yes, ma'am. Thank you for the clarity. Dr. Bussells. Thank you. I'd like to refer exploring some of the ordinance ideas that have come out of the task force to prevent and homelessness to the public safety committee. And we'll point to the memo for more information as well as working with staff who may have some historical context on those ordinances. Do you have any specifics that you want to share? So one one ordinance that was suggested by the task force was to require the reporting of feeding in the city at least 24 hours prior. And then there are some updates that have been suggested in the past to our panhandling ordinance that our legal department is currently reviewing to ensure that we are in line with some of the cases that have been decided in other states. But I'd like to continue this discussion in committee to understand what our options are. Great. Thank you, Dr. Bussells. Is the motion and is that your motion? Yeah, motion to refer to second. Second. We have a motion in second. Madam Clark, could you read the roll? Just for clarification, would that be the administrative policy committee? No, that goes to public safety. Yes, ma'am. For the clarification. Mr. Taylor. Ms. Herbert. Dr. Bussells. Aye. Mr. Brennan. Yes, Mr. McDowell. Mr. Duvall. Miracle man. Thank you. Councilman Brennan. Yes, thank you, Mr. Mayor. I'd like to send to the administrative committee, the Richland County as a fireworks ordinance, some changes to their noise ordinance that are working its way through a first reading, maybe a second by now. I just wanted to send it to administrative committee to take a look at it to see if there's any desire by the committee to take a look at possibly changing our noise ordinance. You know, we have a lot of donut holes that are here in the city that are county. So just would like them to take a look at it. Can I get a motion? It's your motion and a second then discussion. Second. All right. Yes, Mr. Mayor. I think that would me be more properly referred to the public safety committee instead of the administrative committee. And I think it's already been referred. I didn't do it last week. Either way, it what's included is looking at other municipalities in the state. Yeah. And checking the state but again, enforcement is going to be you know, if there are changes enforcement is the important part. I would say that this is a public safety ordinance instead of an administrative Mr. Brennan worked that out and y'all figure out. Well, I did work it out. But now he wants to go to public safety. So you can add that to your list for the next public safety. So that would be going to the public safety to clarify that. And so while we're on publics, go ahead because we're gonna refer another one. So we've got a motion. We got a second. Madam clerk. Could you read the role? Mr. Taylor. Mr. Herbert. Dr. Bussles. Mr. Brennan. Mr. McDowell. Mr. DeVall. Mayor Rickman. I as we continue to do referrals. You got one. You got one more. Oh yeah, go ahead. To the Economic Development Committee. I'd like to make a motion to send project and construction outfit progress summaries to 1401 Main Street, the Columbia Municipality Building to Economic Development for review as we move forward. We have a second with that. Madam clerk. Could we read the role? Mr. Taylor. Mr. Herbert. Dr. Bussles. Mr. Brennan. Yes, Mr. McDowell. Mr. DeVall. Mayor Rickman. I lastly, I would like to refer to the Public Safety Commission Committee to look at our nuisance ordinance and look at if it's time for us to look at how we may beef those up to handle some of the nuisance problems throughout the city and support our staff, both in law enforcement and other so that we can make our community safer. So I'd ask for a review of the the nuisance ordinance and also an opportunity for us to take a look at what some of the other communities are doing to address nuisance cases. You want us to put Ghost Guns in there while we're at it? What committee? I thought there was already. Mr. Mr. DeVall has found his funny one today. That's my motion. Is there a second? I'm sorry. I miss what committee? Public Safety. Is there a second? Second. Madam clerk, could you read the roll discussion? Yeah, sure. I just want to make that that will include like stores that tend to sell things that prey on homeless and things like that are in some of the downtown neighborhoods. I think a prime example would be not only nuisance ordinance, the overall nuisance ordinance to make sure but also as we looked at what the county had done with some nuisance properties, convenience store to be quite frank, that was a big problem in the neighborhood, how they addressed using nuisance ordinance to revoke its liquor license. This primarily is a discussion how we strengthen them. Yeah, absolutely. I think we want to look at it, make sure we're updating and strengthening. I thought maybe I didn't make that clear. But thank you, Mr. Well, if we voted on that, no, we're about to vote right now as the clerk gets ready to call the roll. Mr. Taylor. Hi, Ms. Herbert. Hi, Dr. Bussells. I Mr. Brennan. Yes, Mr. McDowell. Yes, Mr. DeVall. I may recommend. I Mr. DeVall. Mr. Mayor, I'd like to refer to the Public Safety Committee or a quest I've had from the Five Points Association to look into the regulation of the distance between smoke jobs and and other businesses like the CDCBDD or see CBD, CBD smoking and there was some of us the attorney to look at it. Could I make an amendment to your motion? Your friendly amendment? Why you do that? I think it would be very important for us to discuss what requirements could be to have signage that shares with people the effects of products like Delta eight and nine that tend to show possibly up on drug tests and other things and making sure that that as we look at ordinances and rulings, how that can require for display that customers know the effects of these products. Mr. Mayor, yes, of course, just a clarifying question. How is this in a different than what we talked about? Microphone. Is this in a different than what we talked about? You can't talk to Howard. You think that your ordinance is about notification? No, no, no, no, no. Something totally different. What I'm asking is that several years ago, you introduced something similar to this. A few years back. Is that the same thing? Or is this it? Well, we asked a smoking ordinance a few years back that that set distances from the front door of a smoking establishment about smoking and vaping. We added vaping to the existing smoking ordinance. Yeah. This, this may be an amendment to that. But it might be a separate thing. We'll study it and come back. But I think that we've got a proliferation of those type businesses talking about the saturation of Dave shops in certain areas. Well, it would certainly be good. We've already got something on the book. We've got something on the books, but we could amend whatever what it is now that you're having to go into public safety as a part of that total that free view of things. It'll regulate the same industry. Yes. So we have a friendly amendment motion. We have a second. And we have the roll call please discussion, sir. Yes, sir. I just want to clarify in the motion, you amended the motion to include a study of warning signage that we might can require consumers of products sold in these stores that would possibly or likely fail a drug test if that is correct. Thank you, sir. And if and if pass that this be a part of an ordinance that is already on our books, if we could make that real clear. So any other discussion? We good. We clear. Madam clerk, could you read the roll? Sir, Mr. Taylor. Hi, Ms. Herbert. Dr. Bussles. Hi, Mr. Brennan. Yes, Mr. McDowell. Yes, Mr. Duvall. Mayor Rickamitt. Hi, thank you. Last but not least, I'd like to move forward ordinance number 2019 dash 10, which is our ordinance that was amended for the purchase and sale of real property. We have some language worked along with staff that the property shall be deemed surplus by the city manager, which who has the discretion to determine the method of disposal be used by may not be included or limited to seal bid process listing of property listing of property for auction with a private auctioneer. Any method determined by the city manager or commercially reasonably considered the type and location of probably property involved. I'd like to get this add out and added to the agenda on August 16. And between then we have a work session next week. We can put it on there if there are any questions. But I think the with us going through the process of looking at disposing of excess surplus property but making it so that we get the most value of that property and having the flexibility and giving them city manager, the authorization along with her staff to get that reasonably out. That would be my motion. Is there a second? Second. All right. Any questions? Concerns? And I'm hoping that the work session will discuss pros and cons of the suggested changes. Yeah, I don't know what the cons are, but we're sure we'll talk about the pros. I just want to make sure we have a discussion of the pros and cons. So you want it, you do want it on the August night work session is what I'm here. We need to brief question period. I think it's it's going to be very small for anybody on council just to clear but like to make sure it's on the agenda for the 16th. The night and the 16th. Yes ma'am. Any more discussion questions? Madam clerk, could you read the role? Mr. Taylor. Mr. Herbert. Dr. Bustles. Aye. Mr. Brennan. Yes. Mr. McDowell. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Aye. Mayor Rickerman. Aye. Any other new business? Yes, I'd like to add to news business at a future meeting a presentation from staff or the appropriate entity to give us an update on the comic bus stations and where they're moving with with some of the recent news about Sumter becoming kind of a one of the stopping points, but maybe not the the hub with some of the changes being made towards Lucius Road and where the comic headquarters is. And so it doesn't have to be the next meeting, but in the next couple of meetings, if we can get that on the agenda and get an update, that'd be great. Do you need to you need us to vote on that or is that any any other new business? Yes ma'am. You I was wanting to make sure you all got everything out that you needed to refer. And as I see the additional items, I was going to talk with Chairman Taylor about the Economic Community Development Committee action plan for economic development. But so that all of Council is aware, I would suggest I think the Council directed me to move forward with the overall action plan and restructure and I think we have put that together. So as we're taking up now several items and committee if the Mr. Chair is willing, we could bring that action plan to your next committee as well and go over it with you ahead of time if you like sir. I just want to make sure that would be okay. You need a council. I don't think so. I think that was something that you all had asked us to do. Okay, just want to make sure. Yeah, thank you, sir. Is there any other business? We got we're working I love this. We got committees working things are moving. This is beautiful. Thank you all for all your hard work. Is there anyone here who would like to speak? I know that Miss Wiley I told you earlier. No, ma'am. Good to see you. My name is Diane Wiley 40 36 web court. I'm not gonna argue I'm calm. But my issue is I don't mind the kids in our neighborhood where the old Burton pack 36 01 through Thurmond Street come out and play. But we have been having trouble ever since four for July. I done passed in the papers in the pictures. I got more. They won't clean up. We have persons that pick up paper every day. They won't clean up. Do we have receptables there? Do we have trash bins and so forth there? And no need to do that because they put it all on the side. I don't send the pictures to but if we put some out there will they put it in it is my question. No, they won't. Have we tried? We have. They had two out there. And the parting, they had a back to school. We didn't have a back to school because it was so hot. And whatnot, but they went in there and have back to school. They're not coming in our neighborhood. These are people don't live in our neighborhood. And they're not gonna come in and mess up parting all night long. The bullets, you know, that's got to stop. Come in. Do what you got to do. But I'm for the kids. But you got dirty diapers. All out there strung out. I don't send the letters to I mean, the pictures to Mr. McDowell and the bullets. I gave it to chief. I've been getting calls ever since four for July. They take a look. Miss with Molly will make sure we we do it little extra sweet. Yeah, I'm gonna email the school board. Yes, ma'am, too. Because I mean, cars lying down the street, the papers going in people yards. That's all you know, they got to do better. You're not gonna come in and do something we don't know nothing about. I agree with you. You know, acceptable. I want to address that. Mr. McDowell, you got something to say to me? Have anything to say to me? I thought you said it all. Yeah, because you know, like I say, you're not taking a wild neighborhood. That's it. When I when I get aggravated, I'm a call. I called the police all this weekend from four for July all the way up to Miss Wally. One thing I know, you ain't gonna give up your neighborhood. We know that. No, no. But please, we're here to help you. Yes, ma'am. And what he said about the fireworks all night long, it shouldn't be happening. Then one of y'all city workers call our neighborhood old. I'm not old. I'm just better. That slide. Thank you. Thank you, Miss Wally. Is there anyone else that would like to speak at this time? I have one caller and public input, Mayor. Yes, please. Probably have been added to the meeting now. My name is Tiffany Ruiz and I'm a resident of Liberty Ridge subdivision. I wanted to call and comment on items proposed by Wood Creek Development LLC. So the applicant continues to develop this area, which includes townhomes, Taco Bell and a quick trip at the exit of this subdivision. And there's also now the Starbucks and Bojangles across the street. And this is the only exit next to Jacob Mill Pond Road to exit the subdivision. And there's an increase in concern for safety of residents at this community because there's accidents weekly. And I know that they're trying to expand Spears Creek Church Road, but residents have reached out. And it appears that there's a miscommunication or lack of communication by the developer, which is Wood Creek Development LLC. So I wanted to take this opportunity to make the council aware that residents are just, they're concerned for their safety because we don't want to wait until the expansion of Spears Creek Church Road for that lake to be turned on. Thank you for calling in. We will connect you with our planning department to make sure that that we get all the the the items that you mentioned clearly on record and see if we can respond to any any any other questions you have. But thank you for calling in. That is it, Mayor. To our neighborhoods and enjoy National Night Out, which is tonight. We look forward to seeing everyone out. If you don't have plans tonight, we've got a nice list here of neighborhoods that are having events. They'd love to see you in their neighborhood. You don't have to live there to go by and enjoy your neighbor. With that, I'll take a motion to adjourn. Do I have a second? Second. There'll be no discussion. So, Madam Clerk, could you read the roll? Mr. Taylor. Hi. Ms. Herbert. Hi. Dr. Bussell. Hi. Mr. Brennan. Yes. Mr. McNally. Yes. Mr. Duvall. Hi. Mayor Rickerman. Hi. Have a good night. Thank you.
