At its April 14, 2026 meeting, the Forest Acres City Council agreed to defer second reading of an ordinance approving a sewer easement agreement with 5213 Trenholm, LLC (identified on first reading as Wings Investments, LLC; Richland County TMS R14013‑02‑24). The motion to defer passed 4–0; Council member Ryan Newton recused himself from the discussion and deferral.
Non‑resident Toby Ward spoke during the public comment period in support of the sewer easement agreement prior to the council vote. The minutes record the public comment and the subsequent council motion to defer; no formal vote to approve the easement occurred at this meeting.
The minutes also record that council later convened in executive session to discuss contractual matters including the sewer easement. The executive session was announced in the minutes but no privileged executive‑session deliberations are recorded in public minutes.
