Votes at a glance: Greenville council approves vendor switch, transit contract, budget submission and peddlers ordinance
Summary
At its meeting the council approved a Village Green transit contract with per-trip compensation, adopted resolutions to terminate Priority Power and authorize Treybell for aggregation, approved submitting the preliminary 2026 budget to the county auditor, and amended the peddlers ordinance to require police-issued badges and a $100 annual fee per person.
Greenville City Council acted on multiple formal items at its regular meeting, adopting four measures and approving the auditor's preliminary budget submission.
Village Green transit contract: Council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract with Village Green Healthcare to provide transit services at $22.65 per person each way. Council members noted the city does not yet have an estimate of total trips expected; the roll call included two recorded abstentions and at least one 'no' vote during the third reading and adoption.
Termination of Priority Power: Council adopted a resolution authorizing the safety service director to send a notice of termination to Priority Power Management LLC, removing the company as the city's aggregation representative.
Authorization for Treybell LLC: On the same night council authorized the safety service director to enter an agreement with Treybell LLC to provide aggregation consulting services for natural gas and electric discounts for residents; the resolution passed on third reading.
Preliminary 2026 budget submission: City Auditor Mrs. Davis reported a clean fiscal year 2024 audit and asked council to authorize submission of the preliminary 2026 budget to the county auditor. Council voted to permit the auditor to file the preliminary budget (the submission is an early, preliminary filing; final appropriation votes occur later in the year).
Ordinance on peddlers and itinerant vendors: Council adopted an ordinance amending codified ordinance 23-27, section 852, to allow solicitors, peddlers and itinerant vendors to operate in the city after registering with the police department and obtaining a police-issued badge. The badge fee is $100 per person and is valid for one year; the ordinance clarifies that posted 'no solicitation' signs remain enforceable and that officers will vet applicants.
Council instructed staff to complete the administrative steps tied to each action; several items (estimated trip volumes for the transit contract, consultant billing for aggregation services) were not finalized during the meeting and will be provided by staff as those details are developed.
