Committee Reports
Committee reports were more robust
this month. Councilmember Wilson
reported attending a transportation
committee meeting where a number of
ideas were floated to reduce congestion
on Rt. 26. Rapid transit bus routes
and a light rail system were among the
concepts marked for honorable mention
but without a means to fund them.
Hopes of resuscitating the completion of
I526 also dimmed against a budget short
fall of $300 million, with only 120 days
remaining to fill the gap. Completing as
much of the route as funds allowed was
also nixed. He did however, mention
meeting with a group from Johns Island,
who support the idea of a third route off
the island.
Councilmember Labriola said nine
firms had applied for consideration
to build the new municipal complex
and the Municipal Committee had
completed their evaluations. The list
has been winnowed down to four firms,
who will submit bids in the next week.
Responding to councilmember Weavers
oft repeated question, Labriola confirmed
an official TOKI vote on the budget for
the municipal complex should be possible
for next months meeting of town council.
Councilmember
Johnsons
Arts
Council report followed, noting this
and the next few months were the
busiest of the year for the group. She
provided a review of recent events and
described a slate of upcoming dates.
Johnson concluded by announcing the
Environmental Committee had met and
reported 5 bobcats had been collared with
another six planned and Kiawah could
boast 158 species of birds after their study
had been completed.
Councilmember Weaver said the Public
Safety meeting had been moved but was
still scheduled. He also said the countys
