“There’s so many things, and it’s so dizzying,” Hutchins said, “If we could just focus on the main things and farm the other things out to private entities, that would be, to me, a way to lower the budget.”

But Perry said it’s necessary for the money to be spent.

“Yes, it’s a large number — $74 million puts a lot of work, again, that hasn’t been done for the past four to six years, which has been put off and put off, and now it’s time to act,” Perry said.

In addition to the items on the budget, the Hilton Head Island council is receiving a 15% raise for inflation, which, according to the council, hasn’t happened since 2012.
