County authorizes IGA with SCDOT to participate in 1% sales-tax road program
Summary
The council authorized the county administrator to execute an intergovernmental agreement with SCDOT enabling the county to participate in a 1% sales-tax program for SCDOT-managed road improvements affecting county roads.
Jasper County Council authorized the interim county administrator to execute an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) that sets terms for a 1% sales-tax program to fund road improvements on SCDOT-maintained roads within the county.
Interim County Administrator James Iwaneky described the IGA as the standard statewide agreement that lays out expectations for both sides when county projects involve SCDOT roads and noted the document contains some minor local adjustments specific to Jasper County. The agreement is intended to allow the county to move forward with road projects funded through the sales-tax program and to clarify responsibilities and project expectations.
Council discussed the IGA briefly, thanked staff for signage and outreach tied to the sales-tax program, and approved the resolution authorizing the administrator to execute the IGA.
The motion passed by voice vote; the transcript records the motion, second and the chair saying 'ayes carried.'
