City of Lawrence council approves three ordinances on first reading and confirms committee appointments
Summary
The City Council unanimously approved first readings of three ordinances — including a proposed $4.75 million limited-obligation bond — and confirmed appointments to the historic preservation committee and a hearing officer. Votes were taken by voice; individual tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The City Council of the City of Lawrence, South Carolina, held a meeting where members approved first readings of three ordinances and confirmed committee appointments.
Ordinances and motions passed on first reading included Ordinance 11-25-1 (hospitality fee pledge), Ordinance 11-25-2 (issuance of a limited-obligation bond not to exceed $4,750,000 secured by a hospitality-fee pledge), and Ordinance 11-25-3 (an amendment to the fiscal 2025–26 budget). Councilor Sullivan made the motions to move the ordinances forward and motions were seconded; the presiding speaker called for voice votes and stated the measures were approved unanimously.
The council also approved Resolution 11-25-2 appointing members to the historic preservation committee and naming a hearing officer under section 16 of the city’s business license ordinance. The presiding speaker noted outreach to “Senator Bridal” regarding the hearing officer and thanked the appointees for volunteering their service.
On the limited-obligation bond, the council’s agenda described the bond as “not exceeding $4,750,000” with a hospitality-fee pledge, but the meeting record did not include further details on final structure, timing, or repayment terms.
The presiding speaker summarized the results after each voice vote: “The measure is approved unanimously.” The transcript does not contain individual roll-call vote tallies.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which passed with no objection.
