Robersonville council adopts new debris schedule, approves surplus resolution and several appointments
Summary
At its Aug. 13 meeting the Robersonville Town Council approved an amended debris pickup schedule, declared the Purvis Building surplus to enable sale negotiations, approved a contract and appointed a finance officer; the council tabled a wastewater pre‑treatment agreement pending additional bids and funding.
Robersonville’s Town Council on Aug. 13 approved a set of routine and administrative actions, including a revised debris collection schedule, a resolution to surplus the Purvis Building to allow sale talks to proceed, and the appointment of a new town finance officer.
Mayor Tina Brown called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. and the council unanimously approved an amended agenda that added an ElectriCities oath under new business. On motions passed unanimously, the council approved the July 9, 2024 regular meeting minutes and the July 19, 2024 recessed meeting minutes.
Manager Chris Roberson presented the amended debris policy the council had requested; the approved schedule splits the town by Main Street. West of Main Street: bulk items will be picked up the first Friday of the month and limbs/debris the first Tuesday and first Friday. East of Main Street: bulk pickup will be the second Friday and limbs/debris will be the second Tuesday and the third Friday. Councilwoman Debra Armstrong moved to approve the policy and Mayor Pro Tem Claudie Wilkins seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The council also approved a surplus resolution for the Purvis Building so negotiations with a prospective buyer may continue. During council comments, Councilman Glen Cowan asked Mrs. Wynn (identified in the record as the interested buyer) about her expected timeline; she said it would be roughly three months after town approval to open the building to the public.
An independent contractor agreement for Mason Bryant to provide as‑needed utility assistance (not to exceed $5,000, per the purchase order referenced in the minutes) was approved on a unanimous vote. Manager Roberson said the public works director negotiated the agreement and the finance office issued the purchase order. Council also appointed Linda Modlin as the town’s finance officer; the motion was made by Councilman David Jenkins and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Wilkins.
On the same motion slate, the council moved to swear in Mayor Brown as the town’s ElectriCities commissioner, Public Works staff member Sean Daughtery as first alternate, and Councilwoman Debra Armstrong as second alternate; the Town Clerk administered the oath.
The council recessed the meeting to Aug. 20, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. after returning from a closed session. No votes on ordinances or budget adoptions were recorded during the session.
