The Aiken City Council on Feb. 9 approved a slate of routine and substantive items in a largely unanimous set of votes.

Appointments: Council approved appointments and reappointments to city boards, including Barry Bornstein (Equine Committee), reappointments of Sarah Wilderson and Susan Trotter (Equine Committee), and reappointment of Amy Hanna (Senior Commission).
Second-reading ordinances (approved unanimously): - Quitclaim deed related to an abandoned alley for the Kershaw Street redevelopment (to R A H Develop LLC, Homesite SC LLC, and the Leon and Renee Boylston trust). - Amendment to the Junction Shopping Center concept plan on Whiskey Road to allow a credit union on a 1.63-acre outparcel, with planning commission recommendation included. - Amendment to the Coffee Talk 7 LLC concept plan (graphic variation for a cooler wrap); staff clarified a variance was not required. - Rezoning the Aiken County Board of Education property at 232 and 274 E. Pine Log Road from RS10 to PI to approve a concept plan for improvements at Kennedy Middle School and South Aiken High School. - An easement across Osmond Park to allow sewer access for property on Lawrence Street NW (applicants Kim and Tim Hill); owners dedicated a portion of their property to Osmond Park in exchange.
First readings (moved): Council took first reading on a quitclaim deed for Danbrook Section 1 to address previously omitted pond-dedication language and on a fiscal-year 2025–26 budget amendment affecting multiple line items (legal-fee payments, an SBA repayment, opioid-settlement funds and a grant match). Staff said both will return for a second reading.
Most votes were taken by voice and recorded as unanimous. No roll-call tallies were read into the record during the meeting.
