Summary

Mayor Wiggins reviewed three ordinances to amend current and next fiscal year budgets to recognize grant revenues and payments, transfer excess funds into a ballpark savings account, and record a School Resource Officer vehicle purchase to be reimbursed by the South Carolina Department of Public Safety SRO grant program.

Mayor Wiggins reviewed three budget amendment ordinances during the Jackson Town Council work session on Sept. 4, 2025, asking council to recognize grant revenues and make associated accounting adjustments.

Ordinance 25-12 would amend the FY 2024-25 budget to record a PARD (Parks and Recreation Development) grant and to provide for additional engineering fees related to the SCIIP project, Mayor Wiggins said. Ordinance 25-13 would amend the FY 2025-26 budget to record mosquito-control grant revenue, to record an SCIIP grant construction payment, and to transfer excess FY 2025 funds into the town's ballpark savings account; the surplus was attributed in the discussion to revenue generated by community baseball tournaments. Ordinance 25-14 would amend FY 2025-26 to recognize the purchase of a vehicle for the School Resource Officer; the purchase is described as eligible for reimbursement under the South Carolina Department of Public Safety SRO Grant Program.

Council did not record any formal votes on these ordinances in the transcript. Council members asked clarifying questions and heard the mayor review the items as agenda presentations; no ordinance adoptions or vote tallies are included in the meeting record provided. The ordinances remain agenda items for future action or formal readings.

The council also discussed that Thornton Park fence repairs will be approximately 80% reimbursed through the PARD grant, a detail relevant to budgeting for parks-related capital work.
