Summary

The Public Works & Utilities Committee approved a series of routine and project items including waterfront road dedications, SCDOT maintenance agreements, a drainage easement, a change order for King Ujiji, an ARPA time extension and a purchase of six check valves.

The committee moved through a series of agenda items and approved multiple motions by voice vote.

Key approvals included: the minutes from June 15 (motion seconded by Council Lady Scott), acceptance and dedication of connecting roads for Waterfront Phase 3 on Daniel Island, an SCDOT maintenance agreement for work in front of 642 King Street, a roughly 300‑foot sidewalk SCDOT maintenance agreement near Forest Drive, acceptance of a drainage easement serving the Shellwood/Norview/Northbridge area, permanent‑encroachment acceptance for balconies at 56 State Street, and a temporary pedestrian access easement for the Point Set Senior Apartments at 55 Lee Street.

The committee also approved project actions: change order #6 for the King Ujiji Drainage Improvement Project (about $100,000) and an authorization to purchase six check valves for approximately $348,000. Members voted to support a real‑estate recommendation to acquire a parcel for the West Pawnee drainage project to lower overall costs. A request to extend a franchise agreement review by 60 days was granted.

Most votes were recorded as voice approvals; the transcript does not contain roll‑call tallies for each motion. Where available, the chair announced seconding members in the meeting and several items were moved and seconded from the floor.
