During a recent government meeting, officials expressed condolences to those affected by recent hardships and acknowledged a significant increase in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The council emphasized their commitment to transparency while noting that only one staff member is currently handling these requests, which may lead to delays. They urged requesters to space out their submissions to allow for timely processing.

In a celebratory moment, the council unanimously approved a resolution honoring the Saluda County Recreation All Star Ponytail X Play team for their remarkable achievements in the Dixie Youth Softball 2024 World Series. The team, which went undefeated throughout the tournament and only allowed five runs, was recognized for their outstanding performance. The resolution will be presented to the team's manager, Jeffrey Jordan, and a copy will be archived in the council's minutes.

Additionally, the county announced plans to implement a new phone system within the next two weeks. While the phone numbers will remain unchanged, the menu options will be updated to improve communication efficiency.
