After executive session, council grants temporary distribution authority, adopts loitering rules and OKs $2,000 easement purchase
Summary
Council returned from executive session and approved three items: temporary authority for the city manager to distribute budgeted funds to nonprofits, an ordinance adding code sections on loitering and special event food permits, and a $2,000 purchase/easement for a water line from the Auntie Murphy American Cotton Museum. All motions passed unanimously.
After the executive session the council returned to regular session and approved multiple actions. A council member (S10) moved and the council approved a resolution granting the city manager temporary authority to distribute budgeted funds to non‑governmental organizations within specified limitations and reporting requirements; the motion passed 6–0.
The same council member then introduced and won approval for an ordinance adopting new Greenville Code sections (16‑04.028 and 16‑04.029) addressing loitering and misuse of city recreation equipment and requiring special events permits for food service on city property. Finally, council approved acquisition of a water‑line easement from the Auntie Murphy American Cotton Museum for $2,000 and authorized the city manager to sign closing documents.
Council took these actions by unanimous vote; staff did not present additional budget numbers or public testimony on these items during the session.
