Greenwood council approves hospitality-fund transfer to complete Waller Avenue streetscape project
Summary
At a special-call session the Greenwood City Council unanimously approved an ordinance to amend the hospitality fund budget to fully fund the Waller Avenue streetscape project, reallocating $261,505 to cover remaining costs after earlier match commitments and grant funds.
The Greenwood City Council voted unanimously to approve an ordinance amending the hospitality fund budget to fully fund the Waller Avenue streetscape project. Council recorded the motion as carrying unanimously following a public hearing in which no members of the public spoke for or against the measure.
Draper, who introduced the public hearing, told the council the project had been awarded to contractor AOS and that a kickoff meeting had already taken place. Draper said the city previously allocated a required local match of $482,368 and noted $700,000 in CBBG/CDBG grant dollars; the transfer required to complete funding was stated as $261,505.
The council opened the public hearing and asked for comments; the record shows no speakers for or against the ordinance. After the hearing, a member moved to approve the ordinance and the chair announced the motion carried unanimously.
Earlier in the session the chair read the required public-notice language under the Freedom of Information Act, chapter 4, title 30, Code of Laws of South Carolina 1976, and confirmed a quorum. The council also voted to go into an executive session to discuss personnel matters in the administration department and potential business location and expansion in the area served by the public body; the chair announced that motion as carrying unanimously.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn the special-call meeting and convene a work session, which carried unanimously.
The ordinance is referred to in the transcript alternately as 'ordinance 23-017' (when introduced) and 'ordinance 24-016' (when opened for public comment and voted on); the record does not resolve which numeric identifier is definitive. Vote tallies were announced as unanimous; the transcript includes one instance noting six votes on an earlier motion and another noting seven votes on a later motion. The ordinance transfer amount and the contractor name AOS were stated on the record by Draper.
