Residents press council on late utility bills and cyber-attack disclosures; city cites active FBI investigation
Summary
Residents raised concerns about late January utility bills and requested billing relief and more information about a recent city cyber-attack. City Administrator Kevin Bronson said the FBI and SLED requested that details not be released while the investigation is active.
Multiple residents raised utility-related concerns during public comment, including that January bills arrived late and that the city has not provided detailed information about a recent cyber-attack. Resident Wendy Golten said she received her utility bill late and wanted clearer communication regarding the cyber incident.
City Administrator Kevin Bronson responded that the timing of January bills was due to holidays and that 'there was no plan at this time to extend the period before late fees were applied.' Bronson and Councilmember Charles Morgan repeatedly said the cyber incident is an active investigation by the FBI and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), and council was asked not to release further details until the agencies clear the city to do so.
