The approval of Ordinance 2604, an ordinance approving the conveyance of real estate from the County of Lexington to Brighton Capital Parks, LLC, second reading. Do we have any questions?
I would like to read a statement.
Yes, ma'am.
As you all know, I have significant concerns about this proposed sale of Brighton Industrial Park to a residential developer. A vote to approve this sale could expose Lexington County and its citizens to significant legal and potential litigation. And that's to convert the property acquired for economic development into a residential subdivision. Citizens of Chapin entrusted their council to protect their homes, their neighborhoods, and their commitments previously made to their community. Approving this contract places financial interest in the residential developer ahead of the commitments this county made to its citizens and the town of Chapin. Lexington County also entered into a written agreement with the town of Chapin to de-annex this property for specific purposes of developing a business and technology park. The town relied upon that commitment and agreed to the de-annexation based upon the county's promise of economic development and job creation. I would like to ask my fellow council members to put themselves in my shoes. If this proposal were in your district, whether in the Lexington area or out in other areas or anybody else's, wouldn't you fight as hard for the people that you represent? When you listen to the residents and take time to attend public hearings, submit written comments and speak respectfully about their legitimate concerns. Several of us on this council have worked very hard for responsible growth and protections in place so infrastructure can keep up with the pace of growth. Those efforts reflect what our constituents have consistently asked us for, which is responsible planning adequate infrastructural and thoughtful growth. At the end of the day, we are elected to represent the people. Even though we may disagree on the outcome, we should honor the voices of the citizens who have engaged in this process.
Thank you, Charlie, and there's no doubt that you have fought very hard. With that said, I am seeking a motion.
Chairman, I move for the approval of Ordinance 26-04, Ordinance Approving the Conveyance of Real Estate from the County of Lexington and Brighton Capital Partners, LLC.

The Public Works Solid Waste Management Committee convened on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, to hear requests from the Public Works for approval of the Cox Ferry Road S-278 intergovernmental agreement. Lexington County received $1 million through a legislative earmark of the interchange justification report at Cox Ferry Road S-278 and I-20.

Vice Chair Cockrell?

Chairman Hudson?
Yes. Committee of the Whole, it is the receipt of the distribution of South Carolina Oath for Recovery funds. We've already approved this previously, but we have to send it off to SCORF. I'll read it to you briefly. The Committee of the Whole... CONVENED EARLY TODAY TO HEAR THE REQUEST FOR APPROVAL TO PROCEED WITH RECEIPT AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF SOUTH CAROLINA OPIATE RECOVERY FUNDS. ON APRIL 28, 2026, THE COUNTY COUNCIL AUTHORIZED A SUBMISSION, WE HAD TO SUBMIT OF THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL PERFORMED OPIATE REMEDATION ACTIVITIES IN LEXINGTON COUNTY AND APPLY TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA OPIATE RECOVERY FORUM WHICH IS CALLED SCORF. BOARD FOR FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS On June 10th, 2026, the SCORF Board met the approved county's technical proposal and funding request awarding $2,289,829.53 to support opiate remediation efforts. Move forward with these receiving these funds. County Council must formally approve both receipt and distribution of the award listed below in the summary of FY 2027 funds requesting submitted by partner organizations and county agencies. Courage Center $957,084.53. RATE ACT 523,048, LEXINGTON COUNTY CORONER'S OFFICE 170,957, LEXINGTON COUNTY SOLICITOR'S OFFICE 208,104, CITY OF CASIN $421,600. UPON COUNCIL'S APPROVAL, THE COUNTY AND ITS PARTNERS WILL BE POSITIONED TO CONTINUE PROVIDING critical opiate abuse abatement services along Lexington County community throughout FY2027, and it would pass unanimously. I would think, based on this number and based on last year, I thought I'd have that number tonight, but I think that we still have somewhere in the neighborhood of about 15, 8 to 16 million somewhere in that area that would be dismissed And over the next 20 years, depending on its qualifications, and I can tell you from somebody who's very close to this arena, it's made a major difference in our community. If we continue to make these investments, we're going to continue to make major improvements in our community. It saves lives. I'll make a motion to accept this. Second. Second by Mr. Cockrell.

Please have a seat.
You all. You all, folks. All righty. Thank you.
Where's your gavel?
I got a gavel, but I'm not going to... at or near the Lexington County Edmond Landfill with Lucas Estates LLC and granting an easements related thereto. We have no one here in favor of, we have no one here in opposition to, and we have no electronic communication. Lee, are you here? Briefly, can you tell us what we're doing?
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a diagram showing what we're doing. On the leftmost side, you can see there's a right-of-way with the green lines there. We're trading that piece of property for the piece of property on the right that's highlighted in red. This allows us to have all of the landfill property except for that. a little bit on the edge contiguous, which is going to allow us to relocate our composting facility, and that will allow us to permit some other space down in the landfill for landfill space. So it's going to significantly increase our current landfill life by making this change.
So it's a win for us.
Yes, sir.
Thank you. Before I close this portion of the public hearing, does anybody have anything they want to say? With that said, that portion is closed. We'll now open up the next portion, which is 2610, an ordinance to provide for the insurance of sale of not exceeding $70 million aggregate principal amount of general obligation bonds for Lexington County, South Carolina, to prescribe for the purpose proceeds shall be expended to provide for the payment thereof and provide for others matter related thereto. Gary, can you give us, let me go ahead and read this real quick because there's nobody here either. We have no one here in favor or against and no electronic media. So Gary, give us a brief overview.
Mr. Chairman, members of council, this is a general obligation bond ordinance that would authorize the issuance and sale of $70 million of bonds to defray the cost of the detention center expansion as well as potentially certain county administration functions and transportation improvements. It is designed to sort of dovetail with general obligation bonds of the county that are being retired and is otherwise pretty straightforward. Thank you so much.
With that said, does anybody have anything they want to say? Thank you, Gary. We'll close that portion. Next, the ordinance, second reading, the approval of Ordinance 2610, an ordinance to provide for the insurance and sale of not exceeding $70 million, aggregate principal amount of the general obligation bonds of Lexington County, South Carolina, to prescribe the purposes for which the proceeds shall be expended to provide for the payment thereof and provide for the other matters relating thereto, second reading.
