I want to start 26 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:36,080 off and I'll call him up here in just a second, but um this year it was my 27 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:39,840 personal privilege to serve as the president of the South Carolina 28 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:45,640 Association of Counties. And with that um honor also comes the opportunity to 29 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:51,840 recognize a student in our county with a $5,000 college scholarship. And I 30 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:55,560 did not get to choose the person myself. The way it works out is students 31 00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:01,000 throughout the county apply through a portal and then the top three are chosen 32 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:07,120 and a committee chooses from those three. And I am honored tonight to 33 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:11,320 recognize Trey Sellers who is from Chesterfield High School. He's going to 34 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,280 my alma mater went there which makes it pretty exciting for me, too. 35 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:18,640 » Amen. >> And he obviously there is 36 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:22,480 stiff competition with this and from my understanding the folks who were some of 37 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,360 the readers at the end said that he just stood head and shoulders, you know, 38 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:30,640 above and that they were really impressed with his application. So with 39 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:37,120 that I'd like to call Trey Sellers up to be recognized as the SCAC presidential 40 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,120 scholarship recipient this year. 41 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,800 » I think we should all give HIM A HAND. 42 00:08:45,971 --> 00:08:47,991 » [applause] 43 00:09:04,311 --> 00:09:06,331 [applause] 44 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:19,560 » ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE association has 45 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:24,040 changed their scholarship offerings from five a year, four in the presidential 46 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:29,839 scholarship, to 12 a year in the presidential scholarship. So every four 47 00:09:26,839 --> 00:09:34,080 years counties are drawn out of a hat to receive a scholarship and this coming 48 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,640 year going to get another scholarship for Chesterfield County. So if you know 49 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:41,400 the student who's a senior in high school, who would look for a scholarship 50 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,840 opportunity, make sure that they hear about that. And we'll put it out there, 51 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:48,200 too. But, just wanted to go ahead and let you know that at our last 52 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:52,680 conference, um Chesterfield County was chosen again. So, that's exciting. And 53 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:57,200 now, we're going to recognize some ordinary greatness. I'm calling on 54 00:09:54,120 --> 00:10:00,480 Councilman Price, District 1. >> Thank you, Chairlady. Um 55 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:04,800 fellow council members and distinguished guests, today, as a part of Chesterfield 56 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:09,640 County's recognizing ordinary greatness initiative, it is my privilege to honor 57 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,520 an extraordinary individual who has spent years quietly serving 58 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,680 others without ever seeking recognition. 59 00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:22,880 The purpose of this initiative is to recognize the ordinary people among us 60 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:26,680 who accomplish extraordinary things through service, compassion, 61 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:31,840 and selflessness. Few people embody that spirit more than 62 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,840 Mr. Shawn Freeman. 63 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:37,880 As a local business owner and co-chairman of Helping Hands Outreach 64 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:42,560 Ministry, Shawn has been instrumental in the success of our community food bank 65 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:46,520 since its inception. Serving families throughout Pageland, 66 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:51,120 Ruby, Mount Croghan, and Jefferson, the food bank relies entirely on donations, 67 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:55,400 and Shawn has devoted countless hours to making sure no family 68 00:10:53,440 --> 00:11:00,720 in need is ever turned away. He has led fundraising efforts, 69 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:05,360 cultivated relationships with donors, coordinated weekly grocery purchases, 70 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:10,000 and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep the ministry operating. 71 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:13,920 His dedication has been so extraordinary that when Shawn was diagnosed with stage 72 00:11:11,560 --> 00:11:17,520 four cancer in 2025, it took four people to assume the 73 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,680 responsibilities that he had faithfully carried on his own. 74 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,760 Even while undergoing chemotherapy and surgery, 75 00:11:21,839 --> 00:11:26,880 he continued serving the food bank whenever he was able because helping 76 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,160 others has always been a part of who he is. 77 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:34,200 Shawn's commitment to our community reaches far beyond the food bank. He 78 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,800 volunteers at nearly every major community event in Pageland, 79 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:42,520 including coordinating meals for law enforcement officers, 80 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:46,200 firefighters, EMS personnel, and volunteers during the Watermelon 81 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:49,480 Festival. He also supports movies in the park, the 82 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,240 Christmas Spectacular, Halloween festivities, and many other events 83 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,680 sponsored by the town of Pageland and the Chamber of Commerce. 84 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:59,960 He is also deeply committed to the success of our local businesses. Shawn 85 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:03,800 has opened the doors of his own building to struggling small business owners, 86 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:08,920 allowing them to operate without overhead so they could continue serving 87 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:13,640 our community during difficult times. His servant's heart extends into every 88 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:18,800 every avenue of his life. He faithfully cares for his mother, his sister, his 89 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:23,240 two nephews, and an adopted son, always placing the needs of others before his 90 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,800 own. Shawn also serves as a manager of 91 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:31,760 Pageland voting precinct, even while receiving cancer treatments. 92 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:37,040 He scheduled chemotherapy around election days because, in his words, 93 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:41,839 "I've given my word." Anyone who knows Shawn knows that his 94 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:45,280 word is truly his bond. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about 95 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,960 Shawn is that he's never asked for recognition. 96 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,160 He has simply worked quietly behind the scenes, believing that if something is 97 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:58,480 needed to be done, someone should do it, and that someone 98 00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:03,680 was often himself. His humility, integrity, generosity, and 99 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:08,000 unwavering dedication has strengthened our community in countless ways. 100 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:12,240 Shawn Freeman reminds us that greatness is not measured by titles, by 101 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:17,320 recognition, but by a lifetime spent serving others. 102 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,000 On behalf of the Chesterfield County Council 103 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:25,480 and through our Recognizing Ordinary Greatness Initiative, 104 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:29,600 we are proud to recognize Shawn Freeman for his extraordinary service, steadfast 105 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,560 leadership, and lasting impact on the people of 106 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:36,320 Chesterfield County.

Both projects were advertised through 183 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:16,560 SCIBO, generating vendor interest and request 184 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:19,600 for bid information. However, no formal quotes 185 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:24,720 were received. Since then, staff have continued to work 186 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:30,400 diligently with uh potential vendors and exploring 187 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:35,640 additional uh procurement options. Our procurement manager at the college 188 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:40,320 is currently coordinating with a state contract vendor 189 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:47,160 and anticipates receiving a electrical quote soon, while staff remain actively 190 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:52,600 engaged in securing pricing for the shelter component. 191 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:57,120 This ongoing effort will allow us to complete the remaining portions of the 192 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:02,160 project and bring them back to council for consideration. 193 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:06,040 Tonight, we are requesting approval to move forward with the portions of the 194 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:11,920 project for which quotes have already been obtained. This will allow us to 195 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:17,200 avoid further delays and potential cost increase, while we continue working to 196 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:23,880 secure the remaining quotes and return those items to council for approval at a 197 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:29,040 later date. So, once again, thank you for your continued uh support and 198 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:34,080 partnership of with Northeastern Technical College 199 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:38,000 and the students we serve. >> Thank you very much. So, the plan at 200 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,560 this point is to take that information that you gave us and it was all in the 201 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,920 packets. Um and we're going to send that to finance for their formal 202 00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:47,640 recommendation and then that will come back to us at our next meeting, but we 203 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:52,720 should have something and hopefully you'll have information on those other 204 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:56,280 um two missing components and we can get that back to you, too. If you get it in 205 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,040 soon enough, that can go ahead and be sent to finance. 206 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,880 » Okay, we'll do. >> Good, thank you. 207 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:05,160 » Thank you. Thank you very much. >> All right, we'll move on to public 208 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:09,960 comments. We have two people who who signed up to speak tonight. Um, just 209 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:15,120 want to remind everybody that public comments are limited to 4 minutes per 210 00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:18,400 person, 20 minutes per subject. I know it's on your paper that we can't speak 211 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:22,000 back to you, but just know that if there's something that we feel like we 212 00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:25,800 need to take action on, we'll connect you with your council member or we'll 213 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:31,800 make considerations between now and then and get back with you. So, first I have 214 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,800 Mr. Kirby Hughes. 215 00:21:32,984 --> 00:21:35,004 » [clears throat] 216 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,480 » Good evening, Council. >> Good evening. 217 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:47,720 » I guess I don't have to do my name, but my name is Kirby Hughes. I reside at 218 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:52,440 2995 Highway 52 South, Cheraw, South Carolina. 219 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:56,960 And I've come once again to speak to you once again about the unfair 220 00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:02,120 trash fees that have been placed on the citizens of Chesterfield County. 221 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:05,280 I'm at a disadvantage today. My tablet didn't work. 222 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,440 But some residents are being charged twice for the service that they do not 223 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:14,160 use. And some does not even have the ability 224 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:18,080 to access the sites. Some are paying for private trash 225 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:23,680 services, yet the county still charges them for using the sites 226 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:26,720 that they do not use, do not provide for them. 227 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,720 In one of the meetings, one of you said that you would approve veterans 228 00:22:28,660 --> 00:22:33,400 [clears throat] to be exempt 229 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:37,360 from the tax fee. I have nothing against veterans. I am 230 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:42,240 one myself. But the truth of the matter is that the 231 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:48,960 ones which needs the relief is not getting it, and those are our seniors. 232 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:53,360 The chart that I placed before you shows the amount 233 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,800 that the seniors of both groups bring in. 234 00:22:54,960 --> 00:23:03,680 And if you look at those charts, you'll see who is definitely in need. 235 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:08,480 The trash situation is not fair to most of us. 236 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:13,920 But at least the least you can do is to have 237 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:19,920 sympathy for our seniors. The ones that have paid their part. 238 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:23,480 The ones that have brought this county to the place where they are. 239 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:30,320 Those seniors are not receiving this. I mean, every 240 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:34,320 percentage that you put on them is a extra burden on them. 241 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:38,160 There was a Facebook report, I don't know if it was it true or not, about a 242 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:42,520 91-year-old lady that could not afford her medication 243 00:23:40,360 --> 00:23:46,920 anymore, so they decided to steal. They got caught. They was arrested. But 244 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:51,560 the judge dismissed it. She was either determined rather 245 00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:56,360 to get her medication by stealing it or go to jail and let 246 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,960 them take care of her. That's a bad situation to be in. 247 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:06,520 The little bit that they receive does not cover their expenses for 248 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:11,680 living. But when you add more fees onto them, 249 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:16,000 that puts an extra burden on them as well. 250 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,000 Um 251 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,680 And I had [clears throat] another question that I never got an answer for. 252 00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:25,040 I asked several times back a few months back. 253 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:29,600 The revenue that's being generated for the refrigerators, the stoves, and the 254 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:33,440 appliances that is being taken to the convenience centers. 255 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:36,760 Where is that revenue going? Nobody ever gave me an answer for that. 256 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:40,280 I don't know if you guys have come together and found the reason or where 257 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,040 it's going. But that needs to be looked in as well. 258 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:48,480 And the county finds money to do everything that they want to do. 259 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:52,440 But your seniors need help. They don't need to be burdened anymore. 260 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:58,480 I thank you for listening to my comments. 261 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,480 » Thank you, Mr. Hughes. 262 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,400 All right, we also have Mr. Jack Hurst. 263 00:25:15,687 --> 00:25:17,707 » [snorts] 264 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:25,080 » I keep coming up here, but I got problems. 265 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:29,200 Came here 11 months ago. Told you about the neighbor's dog was 266 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:34,000 killing 14 goats. System hasn't did anything. 267 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:37,360 11 months. The [clears throat] day that I was here 268 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:41,000 after I left, I had two or three calls from the council members. 269 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:44,840 And one other guy was supposed to call me, but he never did. 270 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:48,800 But um you know, it's 271 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:53,680 I've talked to animal control just a week or so ago, and 272 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,280 I said, "Oh, the judge quit. The judge quit. Well, we need more judges." They 273 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:01,640 can't do it. I had another issue in another county 2 274 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:06,720 weeks ago. I went over. 275 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:10,880 I sent in my complaint. I've had two letters from that judge in 276 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:16,640 that county. We're fixing to take that person to court, but Chesterfield 277 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,640 sitting on the butt doing nothing. 278 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:24,320 Another issue about the gentleman just talked. This $38. If y'all will go back 279 00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:28,720 and think about it now, we was charged for 1 year before we got 280 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,760 the service. We had to pay that $38 for the last year 281 00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:36,040 without the taxes. And we didn't start getting our service 282 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:40,680 until when we got the tax notice. 283 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:46,360 Thank you. >> All right, thank you, Mr. Hurst. 284 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:50,520 We have two public hearings. Oh, let me just go back. So, we will look at those 285 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:55,800 things, and we can't respond to you even during council member comments, but 286 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:59,320 if if action can be taken, we'll respond to you, you know, through a phone call, 287 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,560 um, for sure. 288 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:05,480 Certainly. Okay, so now we're going to move on to 289 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:08,520 public hearings. We have two tonight. The first [snorts] is for the ordinance 290 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:11,720 authorizing the sale of property. You know, we've talked about this in our 291 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:16,000 past meetings. This is the property on Highway 9, on the corner, that, um, 292 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:20,080 Tuscaloosa County Rural Water is interested in purchasing, and we can't 293 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:25,880 disclose the amount, but it was appraised, and so I'm looking to have 294 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:28,520 someone open the hearing for the, um, sale property. 295 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,680 » So moved. >> All right.

So, the second is an 304 00:28:02,360 --> 00:28:10,080 ordinance imposing a 1% capital sales tax subject to a referendum. 305 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:14,680 Um, this is, uh, regarding the penny that we are we had a commission, um, 306 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:18,720 that met on, and they've come up with the question that goes on the ballot in 307 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:22,400 November if it's approved by the South Carolina Elections Commission. But, 308 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:26,680 tonight we are just voting on whether or not to put that on the ballot. So, is 309 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,120 there a motion to approve, um, opening the public hearing? 310 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,720 » So moved. >> Second. 311 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:35,120 » There's a motion by Dr. Barnes, seconded by Bishop McLendon. 312 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:37,640 Is there any discussion?
