Chesnee City reports: restrooms complete, Scout Hut repairs approved, police staffing and Labor Day plans discussed
Summary
At its July 14 meeting Chesnee City officials reported public restrooms are complete (access at City Hall with ID; open during events without code), authorized in-house repairs for the city-owned 'Scout Hut' at 230 N Carolina Ave, noted a police staffing vacancy with plans to fill it, and previewed a Labor Day Festival set for Aug. 30–Sept. 1.
City Administrator Delisa Coggins reported that public restrooms at the facility are complete; citizens can gain access by visiting City Hall with valid ID, and restrooms will be open without an access code during city-held events. She also announced filing dates for this election year: filing opens at noon Aug. 1 and closes at noon Aug. 15 for the mayor’s seat and two council seats.
Council discussed public-safety staffing: Councilwoman Vertie Crawford said she believes the city needs two night-shift officers. Administrator Coggins told council there is currently an open position and the city is trying to fill it, with the goal of restoring two officers on night shift by next year.
Mayor Bruce Mahaffey raised the condition of the city-owned property at 230 N Carolina Ave (referred to in the minutes as the "Scout Hut") and asked whether maintenance could address repairs. The council agreed the maintenance department could handle the work in-house.
The hospitality report noted that a digital sign and bay doors have been ordered and are hoped to be installed by Labor Day. The council also heard that the Labor Day Festival is scheduled for Aug. 30–Sept. 1. The police report recorded fines received for June as $7,494.48. Planning staff said a rough draft of city codes is complete and the city is awaiting ACOG’s draft zoning map and ordinances before completion.
Mayor Mahaffey closed the meeting after a motion to adjourn; the motion passed with the minutes recording unanimous approval.
