During its special-called session on June 29, 2026, Orangeburg County Council recorded the following formal actions:

• Ordinance to provide appropriations for FY 2026–27 (county budget) — passed, 5–1–0 (moved by Kenneth McCaster; seconded by Joseph Garvin).

• Motion to adjourn — passed, 6–0–0; minutes record adjournment at 11:12 p.m. (the meeting opened at 11:01 a.m., a time-reference inconsistency that appears in the minutes).
