Hartsville to consider sharing YMCA parking‑lot cost; Loton Park repairs and algae management planned
Summary
Staff told the council the YMCA agreed to pay $29,000 toward a total $81,000 parking‑lot project and that the city’s share (about 60%) will be on next week’s agenda; staff also said Loton Pavilion repair quotes will be presented next week and that algae control at the city lake is the city’s responsibility in coordination with DNR.
City staff informed the Hartsville City Council that the YMCA board has agreed to fund its portion of a parking‑lot project and that staff will present a resolution next week for the council to reaffirm spending of unbudgeted funds.
The manager said the total cost for the parking‑lot work is $81,000, with the YMCA paying $29,000 and the city expected to cover roughly 60 percent of the total; staff will bring a resolution next week to seek council approval to proceed and to cover the city’s share. Staff said they attempted to secure three procurement quotes and will include the contractor name on the upcoming agenda.
On parks, staff told the council they have quotes for repairs at Loton Pavilion — describing wind and rain damage to porch and wall elements — and will return with a recommendation and a contract item next week. Councilman Hungerpiller asked about the Loton Park timeline and staff said they expect to move forward after council approval.
Staff also addressed algae levels in a city lake, noting that algae control is the city’s responsibility in coordination with the Department of Natural Resources; Philip in public services will work with DNR to address the issue and staff expects to bring a resolution or update soon.
No formal vote was taken during the work session; the items described will return to the council for formal action.
