Goose Creek council adopts land-use change, budget reallocation, new waste-pickup and e-bike/scooter rules
Summary
On March 10 the Goose Creek City Council approved a land-use designation for a College Park Road parcel, a budget amendment reallocating unspent 2025 funds into FY2026, updates to commercial roll-cart waste pickup eligibility, and an ordinance regulating electric bicycles and scooters.
On Tuesday, March 10, the Goose Creek City Council voted to adopt several ordinances and a resolution affecting land use, the city budget and local regulations.
The council approved a second-and-final-reading ordinance to reassign the future land-use designation of TMS number 2330803059 on College Park Road to "general commercial." The mayor announced the motion to approve came from Councilwoman Green Fletcher and was seconded by Councilman Harmon; the motion carried by voice vote.
Council also adopted a budget-amendment ordinance for FY2026 to reallocate funds that had been appropriated in 2025 but not spent. The mayor explained these were previously authorized funds—examples mentioned included vehicles that did not arrive in time and the Camelot Sewer Project—and that the money must be rebudgeted for the new fiscal year; a motion from the mayor pro tem was seconded by Councilwoman Eno Sims and the ordinance passed by voice vote.
An ordinance amending city code section 9.5.075 to add a commercial roll-cart pickup option for qualifying customers (most notably requiring customers to be on a current route) passed after a motion and second. The record shows one council member voting "nay," but the ordinance carried.
The council also adopted a second-and-final-reading ordinance establishing regulations for the safe operation of electric bicycles and electric scooters. The ordinance passed after a motion from Councilwoman Green Fletcher and a second from the mayor pro tem; it follows public comment in which residents raised concerns about helmet rules and where e-bikes and scooters may be operated.
Finally, the council adopted a resolution designating certain employees as code-enforcement officers under ordinance section 10.12; Councilwoman McSwain moved approval and Councilman Harmon seconded.
Most votes were taken by voice; individual roll-call tallies were not provided in the meeting record. The mayor closed with community announcements and adjourned the meeting.
