Council approves a slate of routine items: trail counts easement, Miracle League lights, school tennis courts and interagency agreements
Summary
Council approved an easement for trail traffic counts, agreed to provide electricity and maintenance for a Miracle League scoreboard, approved the high‑school tennis court site plan, and adopted interagency operational agreements, among several other routine items.
At its June 12 meeting the Summerville Town Council approved a group of miscellaneous items the staff and committees had recommended, ranging from trail data collection to sports fields and interagency agreements.
The council approved an agreement with the Berkeley‑Charleston‑Dorchester Council of Governments to allow traffic counts on the Sawmill Branch Trail; councilmembers said the counts would be useful for future grant applications. The Somerville Miracle League received approval to erect a scoreboard and LED lights at its Laurel Street field with the town agreeing to pay for electricity and maintenance after installation; Kevin Fitzgerald, the Miracle League president, thanked the council for support.
Council also approved the site plan for new Summerville High School tennis courts at 500 Greenway Boulevard and authorized office/space sharing for a narcotics unit and a related agreement with the County Sheriff’s Office; a councilmember clarified Charleston provides helicopter air support and Florence can assist if needed.
Other approvals included authorization for a property owner at 600 Boone Hill Road to improve adjacent town property (with council stressing the town should not relinquish ownership) and authorization for the town administrator to sign amendments to a SCDOT agreement for debris and snow removal on state roads.
Most items were approved on motions with staff recommendations and carried on voice votes.
