Committee seeks guidance for "State of the Penny" outreach after TPAC discussion without quorum
Summary
Committee members asked staff to circulate the 2024 State of the Penny outline shared with TPAC and gave tentative direction to resume planning in February; staff said TPAC discussed the outline but did not take formal action because there was no quorum.
Committee members and staff discussed how Richland County should organize the 2024 "State of the Penny" outreach and what role council and TPAC should play.
Mister Brown and Director Maloney reviewed the TPAC interaction and said the communications team prepared an outline that was shared with TPAC. Maloney told the committee that TPAC "did not have a quorum" for actionable votes, so there was no formal TPAC recommendation despite discussion on the outline.
Several committee members said they wanted to be involved and requested a clear operating plan: who participates, how council input is incorporated, and whether the State of the Penny event should occur in February. Members urged staff to prepare the materials now and said the committee would provide direction in February so communications staff can finalize outreach.
A member explicitly requested staff circulate the full report and the State of the Penny outline that was presented to TPAC so council can review it before direction is given. Staff agreed that the committee and ultimately county council must articulate how they want to be represented and that staff will await direction when the committee reconvenes.
The committee did not adopt a final schedule or formal directive at this meeting; staff was asked to share the TPAC outline and continue preparatory work so the committee can set final plans in February.
