14.    REQUESTS AND MOTIONS BY COUNCIL MEMBERS

 

 
  • Councilor Payne expressed he was happy to see things picking up in Greenville County.

 

  • Councilor Seman stated she and Ms. Norris had the opportunity to represent Greenville County Council at the Live Well one year anniversary event where it was announced there would be healthy new menu items at the Recreation District water parks.  She stated the final phase of Taxiway B opened last week and the first official take off using the newly constructed airport infrastructure was a C-130 operated by Lockheed Martin.

 

  • Councilor Norris stated this year’s Souper Bowl fundraiser at Judson, supported by the YMCA, was successful. She invited her colleagues to join her for next year’s event.

 

  • Chairman Kirven asked, on behalf of Palmetto Pride, if any business or individual would like to sponsor a roadway for litter pickup and be recognized for it to please contact Palmetto Pride.

 

  • Councilor Meadows stated Mr. Butch Taylor had been absent from the last several Council meetings and the reason was his wife was very ill and he has been staying home with her. Mr. Meadows asked that everyone keep them both in their prayers.

 

  • Councilor Baldwin pointed out for the realtors who were present at the meeting, that there were two vacant buildings in Greer that could provide a lot of jobs to the Greer community if they could get someone to purchase and fill them. One was the old Allen Bennett Hospital and the other the State Auto building on eight acres right in the middle of the city.

 

 

 

 

  • Councilor Dill stated they tried to give the old Allen Bennett Hospital to the Federal Government for a VA hospital but they have chosen to purchase an old Winn Dixie store on Grove Road instead.  Mr. Dill then asked how much the election was going to cost the County.  County Administrator Joe Kernell stated the amount was $41,000 above and beyond what was to be reimbursed.

 

  • Councilor Burns informed his colleagues the United Way was having their legislative meeting on Friday at 7:30 at the Kroc Center. He then inquired about the status of the electronic voting system. Chairman Kirven stated a Council Rule change was necessary and would be coming up on the next Committee of the Whole agenda.

 

  • Councilor Burns wished Ms. Seman a Happy Birthday.
