Town of Hilton Head Island PRESS RELEASE brx, 112, 1996 For Immediate Distribution Beaufort County Probate Judge Francis M. ("Frank") Simon and Hilton Head Island.lj)wn Manager, Steve Riley, have announced the availability of office space at Town Hall for the conduct of some Court business on Hilton Head Island. While not a full-fledged, full -service satellite office, it is, in Judge Simon's words, "a step in the right direction' Said Simon, "Thanks primarily to Mayor Tom Peeples and Town Manager Steve Riley, the Probate Court can now be closer to, and better serve, some 50% of its clientele who, in tum, pay 50% of the tax dollars used to support this judicial agency." The Hilton Head office will help save time and money for thase Islanders who would otherwise have to make the round-trip to Beaufort, andfor have their attorneys so involved. "While space is tight for our own operations, we are pleased to be able to accommodate Judge Simon through the cooperation of Sarah Breedlove, local representative for U.S. Representative Floyd Spence, who has agreed to share space with Judge Simon," said Town Manager Steve Riley. Judge Simon will be available, by appointment, at the Hilton Head office (located at Town Hall), usually on Wednesdays and Fridays. Every effort will be made to conduct hearings on the Island, at thQ.MunicipaVMagistrate Court facilities, when available. When not available, Judge Simon has arranged for the use of the conference rooms at Broad Creek Public Service District and Palmetto Electric. "Hopefully," said Simon, "more adequate and realistic arrangements will be worked out once the new library Is built, and the present library is converted to other governmental use, Including judicial. Perhaps, not too far into the future, d of the Probate Court services will be available at a Hilton Head satellite office." Per State mandates, the Probate Court h;^ jurisdiction over trusts and estates, guardianships and conservatorships, issuance of marriage licenses, and therapeutic commitments (mental illness and chemical dependency).

Riley, AICP, Town Manager 8031686.0915 I became interested in the game of Golf in 1964 when I worked as a Caddy at the Sea Pine's Ocean Course. I studied Golf in 1974 and 1975 in College and returned to HHI in 1984 with a burning desire to affect "the Island World" of golf in as many ways that I possibly could. I've approached several of our Goff Course's management with the prospect of offering reduced rates to local people of modest financial means. On Sunday March 10, 1996, 1 approached the Head Goff Pro of one of our local Goff Courses with a proposal of allowing local golfers the opportunities to play golf at reduced rates, due to the real problem of the high cost of cart and green fees. She informed me that this particular Golf Course was a 'Resort Goff Course' and "we offer reduced rates in the 'off' Season. We do our part by hosting charitable events such as V.I.M. Tournaments". It seems that this Goff Pro and this Goff organization considers local Golfers who can't afford to pay "Resort Rates", "Charitable Cases". She also recommended that I seek a "private" Goff Course that has a membership that would consider providing an opportunity for "groups like you." I am in the process of organizing a non profit organization entitled 'Original Islanders, Inc.% with the task of integrating local people of modest financial means into the world of Golf. To enable people to move from Goff Course maintenance to professional green's keepers, Golf Course Supervisors,to architects/designers and engineers and moving from Caddies and cart attendants to management, from club pros and playing pros to club ownership. We need consulting from knowledgeable people in order to put this program together and be successful. We need the assistance of consultants who have knowledge of PGA and USGA programs, volunteers who have the desire to assist an obviously negligent aspect of our "Resort Community" , people willing to work on the Board of this non-profit organization and people willing to work with me in order to improve the economic conditions of many of our friends and neighbors in this "Resort Development Community."

How, do you find thisjob different firm that of a council member? Does being mayor take up more ofyour time than being a coun- cilman did? Peepkc Yes I find the obvious difference would be that by representing all of the island, I get a lot more constituent calls than I did when I was representing one ward. I have to lookac things differently than when I was repr=ting just one uwd You have to look at the impact island -wide. I think as a ward councilperson, your first look is at how it affects your constituents and then you look at how it affects the rest ofdhe town (;is mayor), you lot to look at how every issueyou dealwidh affeccsthe town. The amount of time, I would say, is prob- ably threefold more. I'm spending a mini- mum of25 hours a week in this job. Monudy What are the most challenging or difficult aspects of being mayor? Is it what you expected? Pegdm I dunk know if I've had any real sur- prises It's been pretty much what 1 expected Iwasatcack when Iwasrunningfarotficeon the fact that I wouldnt have time to be there. What I said then, I believe, has turned out to be true: —that 25 hours a week is basically what it takes to do thejob. I really looked at it from two angles, One was haw much time would be required and the other was how much time could I put to it —and ii s working out.

Town Council and Town Yfanager Steve Riley instructed town staff to seek funding from accommodations tax money if their projects qualified. The staff lis. tened, filing 13 applications for more than $1 million. In the four years earlier, town staff tiled a combined 16 applications. But with the additional applications came rougher questioning from the advisory com- mittee. The law allows local governments to seek bed -tax money to pay for additional services resulting from tourism, but not for those ser- f •Aces that should be funded out of general revenues, Shay said. Therefore, the committee applied what Shay called the "tourist impact test" to all of, the town applications: What percentage of the service is directly related to tourism? .We had to keep our eye on what the tourist component I%" Shay said And although many of the town applica- dons .were obviously tourist -related, some . didn't pass the test, at least not for the full j amount the town asked for, Shay said. "Some of the projects were sort of iffy.* he. said. Just because they're in the budget doesn't mean we have to pass on them." Town Council will have an estimated $1.59 imillion to divide among the remaining 39 iapplications. The advisory committee earlier, eliminated five applications. The total fl includes an estimated $1.25 million collected this year and about $290,000 unspent from i last years taxes. i The advisory committee also recommend- ed full funding for a $561,000 request from the Self Family Arts center - $275,000 would be given this year and $287,000 in 1997.98. The committee also recommended giving money to a group of businessmen to jump- start a celebration of the Gullah culture. The group had requested $100,000 for the inau- gural festival in February. The committee recommended awarding $50,000. "tVe thought we'd give them a fair shot to get something going and show themselves that they can do a good festival," Shay said.
