Fairfield County Council adopts millage ordinance and approves opioid recovery funds amendment
Summary
At its Sept. 22 meeting the council unanimously adopted Ordinance 849 establishing the county millage rate for fiscal year 2025–26 and adopted Ordinance 850 to appropriate funds from the South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund and amend a prior five-year funding agreement with Fairfield Behavioral Services; both votes were 6-0.
Fairfield County Council on Sept. 22 approved two ordinances in unanimous votes.
On third and final reading the council adopted Ordinance 849, establishing the millage rate for Fairfield County for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2025. Doctor Roberts read the ordinance title and the council voted 6–0 to adopt it on third and final reading.
The council also adopted Ordinance 850 on third and final reading to appropriate funds received by Fairfield County from the South Carolina Opioid Recovery Fund Board and to amend the previous five-year funding agreement with Fairfield Behavioral Services to support the Fairfield Opioid Response Team. The council recorded a 6–0 vote to adopt Ordinance 850. No members of the public had signed up to speak on either item during the public hearing.
The meeting transcript does not specify the millage rate number or the dollar amount of the opioid recovery funds included in Ordinance 850; the ordinance texts were read by title and adopted on third and final reading. The opioid ordinance explicitly amends a prior five-year agreement with Fairfield Behavioral Services; the transcript does not record the amended dollar amounts or the effective dates of the amended agreement.
Both ordinances passed without recorded opposition.
