Sumter County presents annual progress report; council appoints Registrar and readies litter pickup outreach
Summary
Communications Director Joe Perry presented the county progress report summarizing year-long programs; Council unanimously appointed Rhonda Cater as Registrar for the Office of Register of Deeds and discussed 'Penny for Progress' outreach, including the Nov. 5 'Stash The Trash' event.
Communications Director Joe Perry summarized the Sumter County Progress Report Sept. 27, highlighting a year in review across economic development, recreation and workforce initiatives and directing the public to the county website for the full report.
On committee recommendations, Council appointed Rhonda Cater as the new Registrar for the Office of Register of Deeds. County Administrator Gary Mixon reviewed 'Penny for Progress' infrastructure categories (paving, industrial site development, airport box hangars, intersection and safety improvements, parking garage, sidewalks and walking paths) and announced a countywide litter pickup ('Stash The Trash') event set for Nov. 5, 2022. Councilman Carlton B. Washington described his outreach efforts, including speaking at a senior gathering to distribute referendum materials and urged other council members to meet with community groups to explain ballot questions.
Why it matters: the progress report provides a public accounting of county initiatives; the Registrar appointment fills a county position; the Penny for Progress and Stash The Trash events are part of public outreach ahead of upcoming ballot questions and community service events.
Next steps: The county posted the full Progress Report online; staff will complete Registrar onboarding steps and continue outreach for Penny For Progress and Stash The Trash events.
