Council amends developer name and approves build-operate-transfer deal for fire station

The Greenville Common Council amended and approved Resolution 2509, selecting a build-operate-transfer developer for design and construction of a city fire station and correcting the developer’s listed name.

Council discussion on Resolution 25 0 9 noted a legal-department-solicited amendment to correct the developer name from “b m” to “g m.” Mister Hopper moved the amendment and Mister Mung seconded; the roll call on the amendment recorded unanimous support and the amendment carried 7-0. Exhibit A was referenced during the discussion and contains supporting materials including a document labeled “BMP.”

After amending the resolution, the council voted to suspend the rules to allow immediate consideration on second reading. The motion to suspend the rules was made by Mister Hopper and seconded by Miss Gibson; the suspension passed on roll call and allowed a second-reading vote the same evening. On second reading, Resolution 2509 passed by recorded roll call (vote recorded as 7-0 in the meeting record). The transcript shows multiple councilmembers answering “aye” during the roll calls for amendment, suspension and final passage.

The transcript records the sequence of formal actions — amendment, suspension of rules, second reading — and shows unanimous roll call outcomes as noted above. The legal department’s requested name correction and the council’s decision to suspend rules were both explicit on the record; the transcript does not provide additional contract terms, developer identity beyond the corrected initials, price, or implementation schedule.

With second reading passed in the meeting record, the resolution has completed the council’s legislative steps shown in the transcript; any contract execution or administrative implementation steps were not discussed on the record.
