Blythewood council awards town-hall painting contract, adopts civility pledge and postpones remote-attendance ordinance
Summary
At its Aug. 26 meeting the Blythewood Town Council unanimously awarded a painting and repair contract for Town Hall to First Class Construction, adopted Resolution 2024.02 pledging civility, and postponed the first reading of Ordinance 2024.005 on remote attendance.
The Blythewood Town Council on Aug. 26 unanimously approved several action items: it awarded a contract to First Class Construction for exterior and interior repairs and painting of Blythewood Town Hall, adopted Resolution 2024.02 pledging to "Practice and Promote Civility in the Town of Blythewood," and postponed the first reading of Ordinance 2024.005, which would amend town code to allow remote attendance by council members.
Councilman D. Brock moved to approve and award the contract for the town-hall project to First Class Construction; Councilman R. McKenrick seconded the motion and a roll call vote approved the award 5-0. The record shows the council also enrolled under Resolution 2024.02, with all members taking the civility pledge during the meeting.
On Ordinance 2024.005 — an amendment to Sections 30.05 and 30.12 of the Town Code regarding remote attendance — Councilman Brock moved to postpone the first reading until the September council meeting. Councilwoman A. Fripp seconded the motion, which passed by roll call, 5-0.
No additional details or contract amounts were provided in the meeting minutes. The council also entered an executive session later in the evening to receive legal advice on a potential real property acquisition; no votes or actions were reported after reconvening.
