Mr. Manos informed those present that notification of the meeting was sent to the local news media and others requesting notification. II. Public Comments and Presentations A. Mr. Elliott introduced Cole Thomas, Parks Manager District II, and noted that she would be introducing this Summer’s interns. Mr. Elliott thanked Ms. Thomas and Mr. Michael Bradley, Parks Manager, for their work to make this year’s internship program possible despite the setbacks of COVID19. Ms. Thomas noted that they hosted nine virtual pre-training sessions for the interns. Thomas McNerney introduced himself as a Junior at USC in the fall and the current Marketing Intern.

(ACTION) Approval of minutes of June 15, 2020 Regular Commission Meeting 3 Regular Commission Meeting July 20, 2020 Page 2 of 4 Motion to approve the minutes of the June 15, 2020 Regular Commission Meeting with the recommended updates was made by Ms. King, seconded by Ms. Aren, and approved by the Commission. (#001-2021) The motion passed unanimously (Mr. Bruner, Ms. Aren, Ms. King, and Mr. Taggart were affirmative votes via teleconference). IV. Old Business A. None V. New Business A. COVID 19 Park & Recreation Update Mr. Macchia commended Mr. Elliott and Mr. Hutton for their flexibility while reopening the facilities. He noted that page 37-38 of the July Commission Report has customer service quotes that highlight how staff’s additional efforts are impacting the community. Mr. Macchia reviewed a list of programs and events that were well received. People still want to be out in the parks and want to get outside. He noted that last year’s attendance was 2.69M, but due to the facility closures this year’s attendance decreased to 2.34M. He noted that the loss of April had a major influence on attendance numbers as this is normally a huge month of programming and attendance. Waterparks attendance is lower. Beach facility attendance has been strong. Group attendance and shelter rentals have had a sharp decline. Caw Caw Interpretive Center, the Lighthouse Inlet, and SK8 Charleston’s attendance increased. We’ve had two successful waterpark and aquatic center safety audits. Ms. Manos asked how the agency was impacted by Isle of Palms changes. Mr. Macchia noted that the lot has been requested by IOP to be fully parked. B. Planning and Capital Projects Report Mr. Bowie presented an update on the following Commission approved Capital Projects: 1. JICP Dock Construction o Construction is underway with concrete piles versus timber making the amenity more sustainable. 2. WCP Dog Park Construction o Construction is close to complete with a dog wash station, shade structures, dogbone concrete pavescaping, and landscaping. o The new building will have an IT fiber optic cable for wireless and security. 3. Folly Beach Groin Escrow o $250,000 is currently in five-year escrow as a condition of the 2013 construction permit. The term is up and the Bank needs to return the escrow to CCPRC. OCRM has agreed that the escrow can be returned if the Commission restricts $100,000 in CIP for the Folly Groin. Staff recommend $100,000 should be restricted for the FBCP Groin and to restrict the other $150,000 to assist with other Folly Beach Groins. 4 Regular Commission Meeting July 20, 2020 Page 3 of 4 o Mr. Manos asked how CCPRC acquired the additional Groins. Mr. Bowie noted that it was transferred by the US Coast Guard and maintenance is needed. 4. Consultant Services for Natural Resource Management o Mr. Bowie noted that three firms responded to the publicly advertised request for proposal. The one-year contract includes four additional one-year options. a. (INFO) Change Directive Wannamaker County Park Dog Park Mr. Bowie noted that Executive staff approved the following change directives to allow the Wannamaker County Park Dog Park project to continue to work towards its Certificate of Occupancy: • Charleston Water System and Vortex - $27,953; • Transformer Location - $2,317; and • Data Wiring and Termination - $1,748. C. Financial Report Mr. McManus presented and reviewed the checks over $7500 and financial reports for the month of May. Mr. McManus noted that in May the agency met the breakeven point. He noted that currently through June 30 the budget is down $2.6M on the bottom line. The waterparks delayed opening and lower attendance thresholds have contributed to the downturn. The challenge is to look at this current quarter and how it will impact the future. Mr. McManus noted that Executive Management is reviewing the data daily and discussing weekly during the Executive Management meetings. Mr. Manos asked Mr. McManus to discuss the reserves. Mr. McManus noted that the reserves will depend on the amount of transfers. He stated we have $2M earmarked to be transferred, but still have $15-16M. He noted that it is difficult to pin down exactly how well things will be based on customer attendance. 70% of the costs are labor related. Mr. Manos asked if we have enough in reserves. Mr. McManus confirmed. There were no further questions from the Commission. Mr. Bruner asked if the budget Mr. McManus was referring to was the current or the future. Mr. McManus stated that both are currently under review and adjustments will need to be made. Mr. Bennett noted that a decision about the waterparks and Holiday Festival of Lights is being discussed by Executive Management. Mr. Bennett noted that the following four things contributed to the success: 1. Baker

  • THE ARCHITECTURAL BOOKS of the DRAYTON LIBRARY CATALOG and the DESIGN of DRAYTON HALL a Project Presented To
    VOLUMES THAT SPEAK: THE ARCHITECTURAL BOOKS OF THE DRAYTON LIBRARY CATALOG AND THE DESIGN OF DRAYTON HALL A Project Presented to the Graduate Schools of Clemson University and the College of Charleston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Historic Preservation by Patricia Ann Lowe May 2010 Accepted by: Ralph C. Muldrow, Committee Chair Robert Russell, Ph.D Ashley R. Wilson Abstract Drayton Hall, an early eighteenth-century plantation house on the Ashley River in Charleston, South Carolina, is widely considered to be the first Palladian house in the United States. Now owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Drayton Hall is something of a laboratory for the study of archaeology, landscape architecture, material culture, social history, and historic preservation. Though new discoveries are made almost every day at Drayton Hall, the origins of the house’s design remain unknown. In 2009, the Drayton Library Catalog was discovered within the Drayton manuscript collection containing references to seven popular eighteenth-century architectural books. By comparing measured drawings of Drayton Hall to designs found in these seven books, this project examines the origin of the house’s design in the context of published sources that would have been available at the time of its construction. While some of the books discussed have been previously identified as sources of inspiration, this project led to the discovery of a correlation between a pattern book plate and executed design from one of the seven books in the Drayton Library Catalog. The scope of this project was limited to the seven books in the Catalog and the previously identified sources.
