Goose Creek council adopts unified development ordinance; approves path, resurfacing and fire-study contracts
Summary
At its May 12 meeting, the Goose Creek City Council repealed portions of Title 15 and adopted a unified development ordinance, approved $50,505.18 to fund a multiuse path, awarded a resurfacing contract to Howard B. Jones and Son with an authorized contingency for soil-related issues, and approved a fire-department study contract.
The Goose Creek City Council on May 12 voted to repeal parts of Title 15 of the city's land-usage code and adopt a unified development ordinance intended to consolidate zoning and land development regulations.
Mayor opened a public hearing on the ordinance but said there were no comments from the audience before calling for action. "I have a motion from Councilman Harmon," the mayor said; the motion was seconded by Councilwoman Green Fletcher and, after a voice vote, the mayor and council announced the ordinance passed.
The council also approved a series of contract and budget requests brought by city staff. Ziegler told the council the city was seeking $50,505.18 to fully fund construction of a multiuse path at the corner of Old Mount Huddle Road and North Goose Creek Boulevard; the council moved to approve the request and it passed by voice vote.
Ziegler asked the council to award a resurfacing contract to Howard B. Jones and Son to resurface and realign portions of the project area, replace a net post and make related repairs. The bid came in $5,350 over budget; Ziegler asked the council to include "up to 200,000 in contingency for any soil related issues," and said the work "will be paid for by the same homeowner property and the remaining through the financing." Council members moved and seconded approval and the item passed by voice vote.
Finally, council approved a request to contract with the Center for Public Safety Management to conduct a fire-department staffing and operations study. City staff said the study will analyze staffing models, budget implications and time projections; the council approved the study by voice vote.
No public comment was recorded on the ordinance during the hearing. The council proceeded to other business after the approvals.
