Meeting roundup: awards, proclamations, planning updates and routine votes at Batesburg‑Levesille council
Summary
The council recognized local athletes and civic partners, adopted a water/sewer fee ordinance on second reading, tabled a cafeteria paint contract, declined the vehicle‑wrap bid, and approved a poultry‑festival yard‑sale restriction. Managers reported project updates and financial balances.
At its April 13 meeting, the Batesburg‑Levesille Town Council opened with recognitions and proclamations, moved several ordinances on first or second reading, and handled routine business including event logistics and project updates.
Council passed a resolution honoring Batesburg‑Levesille High School athletes Kira Fry and Jada Henson and the coaching staff for earning a state strength championship and recognized Keep the Midlands Beautiful for disaster recovery planting funded through an Arbor Day Foundation grant. The council also adopted a proclamation designating April 2026 as Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month and set May 9, 2026 as South Carolina Poultry Festival Day.
On business items, the council adopted a second‑reading ordinance updating the schedule of water and sewer charges, approved a resolution restricting yard sales during the Poultry Festival in a defined map area, failed to approve a vehicle‑wrap contractor after pricing concerns, and tabled a painting contract for the Leville College Park cafeteria pending clearer specifications and potential re‑bidding.
Town manager Jay Hendricks reported upcoming events, project updates (park restroom CO received; CDBG service line improvements largely complete), and account balances (LGIP and utility funds totals were provided). Council moved into an executive session for attorney/personnel matters and later directed staff to set up interviews for outside counsel candidates.
Ending: Staff will return on specific items — final solar contractor agreement, clarified modular/manufactured definitions for zoning, reimbursement paperwork for the BBA, and bid clarifications for the painting project — at upcoming meetings or work sessions.
