Administration updates: road progress, comprehensive‑plan interviews, new banners and insurance broker pick
Summary
City administration reported progress on 2nd Avenue South roadwork, near-term steps for the comprehensive plan consultant selection, new Highway 150 pole banners installed with Capital Electric, and a tentative recommendation to hire Mike Keith Brokerage Services for insurance brokerage. Police briefed the council on a new aerial camera.
City administration updated the Greenwood City Council on several nonlegislative items and operational services, including roadwork progress, the consultant-selection timeline for the comprehensive plan, new pole banners on Highway 150 and a tentative broker recommendation for city insurance.
Steven (Administration) said Phase 2 of the 2nd Avenue South road improvements is underway: crews have torn out the southbound lane to 2nd Avenue South with pours scheduled and an anticipated finish in the fall. "They have about a 2 week lead time until they get out here and start working," Steven said regarding contractor scheduling on other projects. He also said an interview panel for the city’s comprehensive-plan update has its last interview scheduled and will provide a recommendation to the full board, with a planning process then likely to take six to 12 months if approved.
Steven told the council the city recently installed standard Greenwood pole banners on Highway 150 in partnership with Capital Electric Builders and plans seasonal banner changes. He also said the administration will recommend Mike Keith Brokerage Services as the city’s insurance-brokerage firm at the next meeting, citing the firm’s experience with rural communities.
Police staff (Jesse) reported the department’s new fly camera is operational with 360‑degree coverage and high clarity, which staff expect will aid investigations and park monitoring. "The clarity is amazing, and it has 360 coverage," Jesse said.
Why it matters: Updates indicate short-term roadwork schedules that affect traffic and a consultant-selection timeline that will shape public engagement for the comprehensive plan. The insurance-brokerage recommendation and banner program affect employee benefits administration and city branding, respectively.
What’s next: The administration expects to present an insurance-brokerage recommendation to the council at the next meeting and to bring a comprehensive‑plan recommendation for board approval within the next one or two meetings; construction work will proceed according to contractor lead times.
