PUBLIC INPUT: None REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF AGENDA CONTENTS: Mr. Servant moved to approve the agenda contents. The motion passed unanimously. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: February 23, 2021. Mr. Servant moved to approve the minutes as submitted. The motion passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS: Mr. Spivey made the announcement that the dates for the budget retreat originally scheduled for April 15 and April 16, had been rescheduled to April 21 and April 22 due to a hearing on April 16 related to the hospitality fee litigation. 2021-2022 Propose Annual Action Plan Mr. Michael Dobson spoke on the proposed recommended framework of the HUD funding budget for the 2021-2022 program year. The funding would cover Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) and the HOME program. For the upcoming year the County would receive $2,025,066.00 for the Community Block Grant, $168,039.00 for Emergency Solutions Grant and $1,054,820.00 for the HOME Program. He noted that HUD required the grantees to provide information on participating uses of funds received from them. He explained that under CDBG they would focus on four areas. They were housing, infrastructure, public facilities and public services. He listed the different projects and the area they were in as well as the amount of funds allocated for each. The County would retain 20% of the grant for administration in the amount of $405,013.00. The Emergency Solutions Grant would be awarded $168,039.00 for the ECHO Program. It would be use to assist in rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention and emergency shelter. Under administration costs would be $10,082.00 for HMIS Administration and $6,747 to the County. HOME was the final program covered under the grant with the County’s 10% portion being $115,602.00 for administration costs. He briefly described the different projects that would be covered and the amount allocated to each. He noted there was no action currently required from Council. Page 3 of 147 Mr. Spivey added that the HOME Program was actually a three-county program that was administered by Horry County on behalf of Horry, Williamsburg and Georgetown County. Interim Financial – January Mr. Robbie Jordan explained he would be reviewing the results for the seven months ending January 31, 2021. His first slide showed the General Fund noting YTD revenues was $143.2 million and expenditures at just over $90 million. Compared to 2020 they were just over $11.7 million above revenues YTD the previous year and about $716,000.00 more in expenses. Most of the expenses were control measures put in place at the beginning of the pandemic and were currently still in place. He noted the largest jump in revenue during the months of December and January was due to the collection of real property taxes and resulted in approximately $3.5 million increase for the same time last year. He presented several slides summarizing each category and noting differences between revenue and expenditures YTD. He pointed out specific variances that were a direct result of COVID, with one of the main ones being personnel costs. Most of the categories that were affected by COVID, still had the same policies in place. He also addressed the Fire fund explaining how the Federal Cares Act funding affected the balances on revenues and expenditures. He explained that there were no active beach renourishment projects and revenues were up in Stormwater as well as expenditures. Mr. Vaught addressed Steve Gosnell and David Gilreath and asked if there was a corresponding increase in paving costs and contracts. Mr. Gosnell answered that the short answer was yes, notably in asphalt costs. Prices in general were going up. Mr. Jordan also noted that Recreation revenues were slightly up from the previous year but had also seen a slight decrease in the program and athletic revenues due to COVID 19. Procurement Code Update: Ms. Kimberly Massie stated that a copy of the presentation regarding DBE participation they had given to the I & R Committee was included in their packet. She mentioned they had some Horry County Procurement updates they would be bringing to the committee at a later date. She stated that she would be talking briefly about thresholds, preferences and a few other considerations. She presented a slide showing FY20 statistics on current thresholds vs proposed thresholds and how they could improve efficiencies. She noted some of the ways it would benefit the County such as a potential decrease in POs and soft costs and potentially less formal contracts that could result in an increase in PO contracts depending on the threshold amount. Mr. Vaught referred to raising the threshold on a single quote and asked what type of oversight they would retain if they just reverted back
