Council moved the item from reading to vote and passed the reading by unanimous voice vote of members present, with remote members also participating. Council members thanked the county economic development staff for recruiting work; County economic development staff member (present in chambers) was acknowledged for his role in the negotiation and presentation.

No financial incentive contract was finalized at the reading stage; the action advanced the special‑source revenue credit agreement language for future consideration consistent with the county’s procurement and economic development procedures. Council has previously used special source revenue credits as a financing tool to rebate a portion of project‑related sales tax receipts over a limited period to attract or support qualifying private investment.

What’s next: Staff will return with the formal agreement language and any required public‑notice or ordinance steps for final approval. The reading does not obligate county funds beyond the typical staff and legal work to draft the final agreement.","Council moved Project NAM forward on reading; the proposed special source revenue credit agreement references a $12 million investment and at least 50 jobs and passed unanimously by those present.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6533374,"Kershaw County proclaims June 2025 \"Elevate Fatherhood Month\" after Midlands Fatherhood Coalition presentation",1034,3571000,4605000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3778901-df7fd99d9e1caeff9272e2761d5def1f&start=3571&end=4605","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3778901-df7fd99d9e1caeff9272e2761d5def1f/thumbnail_3571000.jpg","/articles/6533374/Kershaw-County/South-Carolina/Kershaw-County-proclaims-June-2025-Elevate-Fatherhood-Month-after-Midlands-Fatherhood-Coalition-presentation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533374-1391713c6bba2083e42b590f0e082b1b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776217099&Signature=bYlPEolfBU1nJik3VL8mpDPnRMwMzjB5lbXZXhFOpUvS~g3N4YU0lPc8Bm7VEik-6NtexZ-ovpSp4x1htCHckZvtGGBTGHfjND8Z5AelMdvao8eyMiNeo5y209Ayo91aVH~4islDzZywkKPyXYQ41ONYdVhxNV8Uxy9mKD0TrDCTRurvv9hKa59M~QgZSnRILeK3hnpYt~yEwxIuN4hI1OuwbFcRBXNL7-DkA4Nh3n3oYD2VWtdLUnNWEmmhImLMZiITgvT3UbBvuY63L7k8WUZ0dxxTagDpPOVXpXq8siV~OclExLLO4kCB21b9I~slXoZ3dT2tbLUJSWbW5jiR0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kershaw County Council unanimously adopted a proclamation recognizing June 2025 as “Elevate Fatherhood Month” after a presentation from Midlands Fatherhood Coalition representatives, who described local services and impact metrics.

Keith Ivey, introduced himself as director of operations for the Midlands Fatherhood Coalition and said the group focuses on parenting skills, healthy relationships, economic mobility and health. Ivey asked the council to support fatherhood programming as a way to reduce poverty and improve child outcomes.

Eleanor Boyd, who works in resource development, presented outcome figures from the coalition’s Sumter site (which serves Kershaw County). She told the council: “In terms of employment and employability… we have had 372 fathers gain employment or get a better paying job… we have served 1,017 fathers and positively impacted 2,506 children.” Boyd also said the Sumter site documented $581,209,124 in child‑support collections and $3,000,000 in taxpayer savings tied to alternatives to incarceration.

Trayvon Armstrong, the coalition’s intervention specialist for Kershaw County, described local enrollment and outreach. He said staff had moved services into Kershaw County to reduce transportation barriers and reported two graduates from local programming, eight currently enrolled and additional pending enrollments.

The council adopted the proclamation on a unanimous voice vote and invited coalition members forward to receive the document. Several council members praised the program’s local partnerships with Family Court and Department of Social Services and asked staff to provide contact information for follow‑up collaboration.

What’s next: Coalition representatives said they will follow up with the council about additional local coordination and possible meetings to discuss program expansion, including services aimed at participants with court‑ordered referrals.","County council unanimously adopted a proclamation recognizing fatherhood services and heard from Midlands Fatherhood Coalition representatives about local programs and outcomes, including job placements and family reunifications reported at the Sumter site.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6533378,"Kershaw County schedules consultant briefing on impact‑fee study; preliminary figure about $2,300 per home",406,10777000,11183000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3778901-df7fd99d9e1caeff9272e2761d5def1f&start=10777&end=11183","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3778901-df7fd99d9e1caeff9272e2761d5def1f/thumbnail_10777000.jpg","/articles/6533378/Kershaw-County/South-Carolina/Kershaw-County-schedules-consultant-briefing-on-impactfee-study-preliminary-figure-about-2300-per-home","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533378-ab89d5ddbb5aa7e85f01e03a5f0e0575/orig.mp4?Expires=1776217099&Signature=CS98Uu6LIIcsHswlImYTgSywwEHvqmw-Oq7oMaj6iCICNcg-FV8-Bsy~X72VGvdPxFn36UVznHbbLZ2I1iOTUb3fdkYrJeU0BRp7krQvUDPmNTYbZoQjwkL38fphh8BaCCjzT1zdPhqaQLy33x4KClA4RKznKmCkP4S40nqGp-NKcvgEZ8ookTXkV0XhEX1R-gDk-t2vgQuAFKutR7nzqdNv12w6QnwYgpjsugEwA0x4d70R4MbBojC6UCVqDTV9ziSKpSLdLS0HtvO2IftRsGbrvtdoyKU0jvY09VA8rSML23YquVJQTb3IKfOThJe8oHYwCUtOlPs4WyPpppUOrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kershaw County Council on June 10 set a consultant briefing for the next meeting to review a statutorily required impact‑fee study and discuss possible next steps for an impact‑fee ordinance.

County Administrator Danny Templer told the council that consultant Matt Noon Keister, who has worked with the city of Camden, will present a “more robust overview” at the next meeting. Templer said the initial fee study began in 2022, was completed in 2023, and was updated on Oct. 11, 2024.

Templer described eligible uses and the approach staff has taken so far: “When you look at the money that comes from these impact fees, they have to be identified for expansion of the service, not replacement…Through our CIP we have identified some projects within recreation and with those, and solid waste,” he said.

Council members and staff discussed how the fee formula treats existing revenue sources—any revenue already dedicated to those services is subtracted when calculating an impact fee, which can reduce the per‑home charge. Councilmember Shoemake cited a rough per‑home estimate during the meeting: “It would, I mean just for 1, with solid waste, I would look at expanding the Elgin convenience center… 2,300 approximately per home.”

Council members directed staff to proceed with the consultant presentation; Matt Noon Keister will return with a formal presentation and more detailed modeling, including the county’s capital improvements plan, department‑specific projects and regional limitations for certain services.

What’s next: The county will hear consultant Matt Noon Keister’s presentation at the next council meeting and staff said it will use the required study framework to calculate any proposed fee and recommend targeted projects eligible under state law.","Council heard an update on a statutorily required impact‑fee study and scheduled consultant Matt Noon Keister to present at the next meeting; staff identified solid waste and recreation among eligible uses and cited a preliminary per‑home figure around $2,300.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6533381,"Kershaw County Council advances temporary moratorium on subdivisions after heated debate over small lots",10136,1545000,11681000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3778901-df7fd99d9e1caeff9272e2761d5def1f&start=1545&end=11681","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3778901-df7fd99d9e1caeff9272e2761d5def1f/thumbnail_1545000.jpg","/articles/6533381/Kershaw-County/South-Carolina/Kershaw-County-Council-advances-temporary-moratorium-on-subdivisions-after-heated-debate-over-small-lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533381-b7d0045837f3238f54a207eebfcb5061/orig.mp4?Expires=1776217099&Signature=crNJ0lxruZM9-0iBiSAOlaP3dEuMBDq-1F1qehADG-wRle6I-XId1d~bUt4y6mcxOtdhLUjC2JTQ4ET1J3GhYDPXPo~et~Sg2CCdi3Kf6SX-gls~xPP8G-W9Hk8III95A0J0ApqozQ5cW7n8oB2DzYcWsD5Mev8XxuEYnXVlm4yzOCfD2OS7vOJMSLYM2z4CiUkSIve2Q1Ok6mcCQX62cxOGjWm-uxrU0zB4JOPgyk-RaglACZhVn9iaNeVcbsU1HYoeClIKxM3eL2hlwntYoDCDKmL5tNkib8tFErImppLC3M1vEijPPHt0bCvpsYwE-LeTpM0xV4wPv3ZP-VfDiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kershaw County Council on Tuesday advanced the first reading of a temporary moratorium on subdivisions, setting the measure for further revision after council members disputed whether the restriction should cover small (minor) subdivisions as well as major developments.

The moratorium reading cleared the council on a 5–1 vote among members present, with remote Councilmember Russell Brazel also recorded as voting in favor. Councilmembers Brent Shoemake, Chairman Connell, Brent Tomlinson and Jimmy Jones voted yes; Councilman Tucker voted no.

Council members and several residents said they supported a pause to update the county’s comprehensive plan and land‑use ordinance, but disagreed about how broadly the moratorium should apply. Councilman Jimmy Jones said his intent was to target large subdivisions: “My intention was to vote against it tonight because I don’t like what was presented with the small subdivisions… My intention was to vote against it tonight, only to keep the conversation going for us to make it better.”

Supporters in the public comment period urged a pause to allow the county to finish a capital improvements plan and update ordinances. Lynn Conteaux told the council: “Smart growth means planning for our community’s well-being… We should never settle for less. This means implementing a 6 month moratorium on large and small subdivisions to prepare for the smart growth and allow completion of the capital improvements plan.”

Opponents, including local residential builder David Dabney of Sweet Briar Homes, warned the moratorium’s current draft would harm small, locally owned building firms and contractors who work on minor subdivisions and one‑lot splits. Dabney said the county’s growth is concentrated in Lugoff and Elgin and asked council to “look at the areas in which are highly affected by it” before adopting broad limits.

Council discussion focused on two linked issues: (1) whether the moratorium should cover only major subdivisions (the council heard proposals that would define “major” as developments of 10 lots or more) and (2) how the county will use the moratorium period to complete studies and updates. Councilman Brent Shoemake said he and several colleagues had discussed a compromise to redefine “small subdivisions” so the moratorium would be less disruptive to family builders while still pausing larger developments long enough for planning work.

Legal and procurement issues also shaped debate. Several council members asked for legal advice on whether briefing planning‑commission members in open session could jeopardize county procurement rules or the county’s legal posture while the moratorium is being drafted. The county attorney recommended handling some of that work in executive session to receive privileged legal advice; council held an executive session on moratorium‑related legal matters earlier in the meeting.

What’s next: The council advanced the moratorium on reading and council members said they expect to propose amendments prior to later readings and public hearings. Staff and legal counsel were directed to prepare the ordinance language and supporting analysis for subsequent public notice and hearings; the council indicated a public hearing is planned for July 8 with a final reading targeted for July 22. The motion on reading did not itself adopt the moratorium as final policy.","Council approved reading of a six-month temporary moratorium on subdivisions after weeks of discussion and public comment. Debate centered on whether the moratorium should include small/minor subdivisions; council members signaled plans to try to narrow the measure before final adoption.","actionData","errors"]
