That way you can approach the podium and any other matters that you would like to bring before council, you may do it at that time. Again, we listen uh this is public comment, so we listen to your comment. Uh it's not a back and forth situation. If you have clarification on anything, we will yield to the uh administration to do that for you. So at this time, the floor is open for public comments of agenda items. Hearing none, we will close that portion of it and go into public comments of other matters. Anything that anyone would like to bring before council, please state your name and the topic and you have three minutes and we'll appreciate you.

Good evening, Green. How are you?

I'm fine. William Green. Um, I brought this to the last meeting. Um, something needs to be done about property upkeep because I know where our home is located. We have one on each side and two in the back of us and they're not maintaining their property. About two days ago, I killed a snake in our yard that these pass

take those two and pass them down. But I really hope that you all will come out and intend and everybody's welcome to come out and participate. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Green. We appreciate it. Anyone else have anything they would like to say? Good afternoon. Good afternoon,

Mr. Chair and members of the council. Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to stand before you this afternoon. My name is Lama Samuel. I am the senior director of Family Solutions, which is a program of the South Carolina Office of Rural Health. We've come before you before and it's all for information purposes. Um, we like to make sure that the Orangeburg community is aware of what is good that's happening in Orangeburg County. We know we hear a lot about what's not necessarily good. Um, I tune in to these meetings on Facebook and so I get an opportunity to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly, but I want to present to you something good that's happening in Orangeburg County. We have been around for almost 30 years providing home visiting education and support to pregnant and parenting families in this county. Our goal is to reduce infant and maternal mortality and we've done that over the years. We are a voluntary program. We um we employ social workers, community health workers. We have male involvement coordinator. We have nurses. We have a nurse um a nurse practitioner who we consult with. um through MUSC Health Orangeberg to be able to provide education and support to these families. We also have doulas. We don't have enough time tonight to go through an educational session about who doulas are and what doulas do, but all of the services that we offer at Family Solutions are to be um helpful to the family, to be helpful to the community, to provide support, again, to provide that education and those tangibles that they may need in order to be um healthy parents and and the children to have a healthy positive outcome. April 11th through 17th, we invite the Orangeberg community to join us as we bring awareness to Black Maternal Health Week. We know that black mothers are dying at

a rate two times higher that of non-Hispanic um non-Hispanic black women. And so we invite you to join us for a number of activities that we are hosting here in the county. The very first activity that we will be doing is a community prayer which is on April 13th at our office 10:31 Middleton Street. It's at 1000 a.m. I brought a folder for each of the members here. Um the folder contains information about our Black Maternal Health Week, but it also contains more detailed information about who we are and what we do at Family Solutions. We received um support from some individuals who are here in the in the meeting tonight and we want to thank them publicly for everything that they've done for Family Solutions. I want to ask half of my team who's here tonight to please stand up. We got 12 seconds. Get up y'all. 10 9 8 This is some of um my team at Family Solutions. And again, we thank you for your time and we appreciate the support that you've given us over the years. Thank you so much, Mules, for all you do and you and your team and thank you for bringing the awareness to us.

Anyone else have any other topics that they'd like to bring before council? I was just waiting on you, Mr. Sid. I was wondering take a holiday. My name is Sid G. I could have. Yeah. Um, you know, Mr. Green is young to elect you.

Monday, November 3rd last year. I spent the majority of the day at a site where a young man was removed from a house. DPS uh with Orangeburg responded, removed him, said he could only be charged with vagrancy for being in that property because he had trespassed, broken, and was staying there. Said some other people had been there also. Uh after they had removed him, and he wasn't charged with anything, just, you know, he needed a place to be, and that was the wrong place at the moment. Um found a stack of lottery tickets beside the bed he had made in one of the bedrooms, uh all scratched off. I don't know whether they were stolen, purchased, or uh he found them, or they were even his, but uh it was trash like a lot of the stuff that was trashed. Um my wife and I walk our street when the weather's good. So far this year, picked up 12 plus Walmart size bags, uh regular size grocery bags, and disposed of them. Um and uh last time we talked about trash and whatnot. I believe that when youth young children are raised, if they are given the right mindset of trusting their parents and the system uh to to honor it and obey it, uh that's when a parent begins to give them responsibilities and and it adds to that. Um Connie Por had pointed out the characteristics that had been honored uh last year through Orangeburg County. Uh and down at the bottom of the list was accountability. Accountability is that last step when someone is not being uh uh compliant. There's laws to hold people accountable for their actions. Uh it was mentioned about going up and charging them more for throwing away trash. I don't think that's the

solution. In fact, I've got questions about that. How many people were cited last year? Does anybody know exactly how many people were cited? How much was paid in fines? Is it working at all that part of the system? Or do we need to address some other issues like from birth to well, the weather's great. I got my windows down and I'm done drinking it. Let me throw it out. Whether it's in plastic, aluminum, or glass, whether it's alcohol, whether it's uh water, it doesn't matter. It all gets picked up for those lottery tickets they tear into little pieces and throw out the window. It's hard to pick those up. Got some of those still on the ground on the street. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Sid.

Any other do what it do? What it do?

Uh good evening, council. It's a blessing to be in front of y'all today. Uh, I am Katz, the owner and founder of Giving the Child Dream Plus. I am the male involvement coordinator with Family Solutions. Um, we and we thank y'all for y'all support always, Mr. Young and everybody. Uh, I made a post today because we know the kids are out for spring break right now and there's so much going on that for the kids to do. So then I had I talked to about five more people today and we're focusing on the summertime. You know what I mean? It's nothing for the kids to do. uh everybody can't afford daycare and uh programs. So, what we want to do uh we're trying to find some fields or some buildings that we can use uh and we can go to bringing our services, you know, uh to take time out with the kids if it ain't nothing but a kickball. I one year I did a uh my hood to your hood kickball game and the first child every every day that made it there, I always gave them a gift. Well, this particular day when I got on Sprinkle, uh the little fella said, "Man, I didn't went to sleep all night." I said, "Man, you ain't been to sleep all night." I said, "What happened?" He said, "Man, I was afraid if I would have went to sleep, I would have missed us." And it let you see just how important what we do in in the community works. Well, that little fella wound up being one of the little kids that got shot at OW. Uh, one of my mentor students, great kid, and uh about two months ago, he wound up getting in some trouble and he's at this at the county jail house right now. So, the importance of what we do, we we we just need support, you know, we we here, we serve the county in all kind of capacities with no and little funding, you know what I mean? you know, with with and I thank God for Mr. Ravenell cuz one year he did let us use the the the park over there on Sprinkle the Cell. So, as the summer

come, we want to come up with some ideas where we can go throughout the county, not just one group, not just one place, but go out through our county to help our kids uh to have something to do, you know, even if it ain't nothing but one week once a week cuz we know we got to live. We got family, too. But I know we can get enough people that will support time and effort to come and make this happen for our kids in the county. So with that being said, I love y'all. Yo yo yo. What it do? What it do? What it do?

All right, Mr. Thank you so much. I appreciate all you do to help the young people. Certainly we we all know that we need help and we got a lot of problems out there. So, thank you so much. Anyone else? Not we will close the I want to say something. Um Kevin, Mr. Gson. Yes, ma'am.

Please talk with the head coach over at um OW because he called me today about a program they want to set up in the communities. Um, and you guys could probably work together and then whatever we can do, we'll try. Okay. Talk. Give him, you know, give him a call, please, and tell him that I relay the message. Okay, I'm call the door. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Anyone else? Thank you so much, Mr. Lor. Um, at this time, we will close the public comment portion of our meet agenda. We go into our regular agenda. And the first item on the agenda is uh we got third reading and public hearing on two items. And the first item is an audit authorizing the execution and deliver of a special source of revenue credit agreement buy in between Orangeburg County and a company known to the project splash providing for a payment of a special source of revenue credit and other matters related there too. Item two also is related to project fash and it said this is an ordinance authorizing an amendment to the amended and reinstate agreement for development of a joint county industrial park dated May 17th 2010 so as to include additional properties in Orange County as part of that joint county industrial park and other matters led there too. Madam Turk,

thank you Mr. Chairman, uh, as we've discussed it in the first two readings, this particular project wishes to remain confidential as well as the terms of its proposed agreement. Um the agreements, the special source revenue credit agreement as well as the agreement to place it in the Dorchester Orangeburg park um follow the same format we have used with other projects that bring this kind of business to Orangeburg.

Thank you so very much, Madame Attorney. Now the floor is open for public hearing. If uh anyone from the public have any comments or questions concerning this this is the time hearing? None. We will close public hearing portion of it and I will ask council for a motion and a second for third and final reading on these ite Mr. Chair. Second. Moved by Mr. Garvin and second by Miss Loris Frasier uh for third and final reading on item one and two as explained by the attorney. All in favor say I. I.

Any opposes? The eyes have it and the motion is carried. Next item on the agenda is ordinance first reading uh by title only and this is an ordinance to provide appropriation for the fiscal year beginning July 1st 2026 and ending June 30, 2027 for the Orangeburg County budget for ordinary county purposes and other county purposes for which the county may levy a tax to provide for the levy of the tax taxes on all taxable personal and real estate properties in United County and for all county prop purposes, including sufficient tax to pay the principal and interest on outstanding indebted Orange County maturing during the said fiscal year and also to provide for matters relating to Orangeburg County and to provide for the virtues of said taxes and other revenues coming through the county during said fiscal year. Uh Mr. Med, you want to have this? I know this is a preliminary. We usually do this.

Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, um by state statute, we have to start the process of the um budget process for the following year by posting this ordinance. So, this is just the first step in the budget process um for the fiscal year uh ending in June 2027. and item three and four's similarity but I will read item uh four and make both of those at the same time three and four um item four is an ordinance to provide for appropriation for the fiscal year beginning July 1st 2026 and ending June 30th 2027 for Caloon Technical College and for other public and special education purposes to provide for the levy of said taxes and other revenues coming to the county during the fiscal year uh for said purposes. Uh so this is item three and four related to our tax for the coming fiscal year. I get a motion to second for reading by T. Mr.

Chairman I'll make a motion that we approve items by M Smith and second by Mr. Dravenel that we approve item 34. All in favor say I.

I. When they opposes eyes have it and the motion is carried. Item five is an ordinance authorizing Arsenburg County to enter into a lease regarding a property commonly referred to as 8423 Old State in Holly Hill tax map number 0332-16-15-001 where in Orangeburg County shall be the landlord and Cal Technical College should be the tenant. Mr. administer you want to explain that for the folks. Mr. Chairman, I yield to the mad attorney.

Thank you, Mr. Administrator and Mr. Chairman. Um, this is a new matter. I have not finished writing the lease, but I will tell you what it is about. Uh it is basically for the county to lease some space and I believe it's called the Holly Hill Complex um for Orangeburg County Technical College to offer some certification uh programs so that uh the people who live in Orangeburg County may have better access to jobs that are available through economic development. I think that's a this is a like a satellite site.

Yes, ma'am. Is it is it the only one that OC Tech does not have another one? This is the first. This will be the first. So far as we know, this is the first one. Certainly with the county. Well, that's good because most other counties technical colleges do have satellite sites. This is good. I approve it. Any other comments? Thank you, Madam Turn. So, could I get a motion to second the first reading on this? I'm excited about this because this is in our district and we were looking for this for a long time. I get a second.

Second move by Miss Cooper Smith and second by Mr. Caster that we pass first reading on this item as explained. All in favor say I.

I have it. The motion is carried. Next items uh item number six is also something similar audience first reading and it's an orders authorizing county to enter into a lease regarding a property commonly referred to as 2422 Baron Avenue in Santi tax map number 0310 00001 that's 002 ra county should be the tenant and that's the on property the LLC should be doing attorney.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This particular piece of property has had the same use for I would say over 20 years. Uh there is an emergency services tower that is located and I refer to it as a tower complex because there's guy wires and some other things that come actually off of the facility. Uh and the purpose of this lease is to renew it uh which we would do from time to time uh with Dancler Farm Properties. Thank you so much. If there any questions from council on this? If not, give me a motion second reading. We have Mr.

My question is this. U we've been leasing for 20 years. Um, I'm a soul believer in purchasing St. Lisa. Has we ever had an offer offer him an opportunity to purchase that piece of property? I know nothing about that. You'd need to ask Billy Staley who's been our representative in talking with Dancler Farms. That was my question. Any other questions? Some might have a follow up with that. Okay, I'll get a motion to second first reading. So move, Mr. Chair. Second.

Moved by Mr. McCassy, second by Miss Frasier that we have first reading on the item. All in favor say I. Any opposers? Eyes have it. The motion is carried. Item seven is an ordinance authorized by contra to a lease regarding a property commonly referred to as 63 57 of Van Highwayes. uh tax map number 0057-05-07-003 where Nberg County shall be the tenant and the town of Nissa shall be the landlord. Madam attorney

thank you Mr. Chairman. Uh this is also another property which we have leased over many years certainly not 20 but at least about 10. Uh this is the property of the town of Nie's where they have their town hall. Uh it has been outfitted um by the state of South Carolina. It was about 10 years ago. Uh so that it would have the court uh internet. Yeah. The the court internet stuff that goes with the judicial system. Uh and so that's already been in place. moving the uh the magistr's office, which is what this is for, the magistrate's office and um a courtroom, uh would entail the county having to come out of pocket to actually install that infrastructure. So, um there's a request from the magistrates that we renew that lease.

Thank you so very much, Attorney. Any question from councel? Not a question, but I was make the same offer as well. The last one that's a part of the town hall. So statuto can't I have a question. Um how long is this lease for the town hall courtroom manager? The the lease that we've written that has not yet been signed. It's for one year renewable annually unless one of the parties uh gives notice to the other that they're terminating. So it' be year to year. Year to year. Okay. Thank you.

Any other questions? If not, I get a motion second. And so, Mr. Chair, question. You got a question? I have a question. Go ahead. And with the lease, we're going to be renting from the town lease. Leases. Yes. How much? I'm not sure that that's in the agreement yet. And the reason I say that is we're trying to get the ordinance started. Uh and Dancler Farms is the only one that I know for a fact we've gotten the lease amount from, but it will be at least what it has been in the past, which was $200 a month. And this is this is the space that's used by the magistrate office

because it's a rural area. That's why they you that's why they do that in the town hall. Right in town hall the motion make motion sir all the question any other questions. Okay motion chair I'm making motion we approve it. Second move by Mr. Garbin and second by Miss Walker that we approve it for first reading. All in favor say I.

I opposes. eyes. Next item is planning commission resolution in order for first reading and item number eight and 86 for the consideration of a request from Camel Farms LLC to reszone property at Firefly Lane in Orangeburg. Tax map number 0143-00-02-00002 from residential general district and forest agriculture district. Uh that madam attorney or excuse me, Mr. Chair,

thank you Mr. Chairman. The planning commission met on March 11, 2026 to discuss the recommendations uh from Campbell Farms LLC to resone the property at Firefly Lane. Uh this is um requesting to go from residential general to forest and agriculture. Uh the property is undeveloped and it's adjacent to um other lots that are also zoned forest and agriculture. Properties owners were notified by US mail. They were given the opportunity to submit electronically by mail, by phone or in writing to the planning director or attend the meeting in person person. The notice on the information was submitted um to the TD as well. Um there were zero citizens that expressed their support. One citizen expressed their opposition. Planning Commission presents this to you with 60 approval. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. M. Any questions from council on this? Yes, I have a question. I don't know if I should mention it, say it now for later, but um I know Firefly Firefly Lane is in district five and they wanted they approved to have it reszone from residential to agriculture residential general to forest to forest. Yes, ma'am.

Mr. you would have had only one person to propose this. Yes, ma'am. I see. I think many times the people don't see those notices that are put up, but now when it comes to reszoning, there's signs put up on the property and and and every adjacent property owner is sending not.

Mr. Chair, I've seen those signs and they and and you can easily ride by one not knowing what exists. So, and I know people um it's in other areas or other uh means of communication, but everybody doesn't have a computer. So, a lot of people who will probably voice their concern don't have the choice because they don't see. Well, they might have the choice, but they don't know it's there because of their visibility. Make it as big as I am so it can be seen. Thank you. Thank you, Miss I appreciate you.

I I uh I got you. I think they saying if it's continuous to them, do it a personal letter. You get a personal letter for continuous property. And some people they don't know what it is, they just put it aside or I'll read it later. You right. It depends on who gets it. Now, there are those who, but then there are some people who don't know what it's about. They might see the county of Orangeburg and they might think it's something else and then there are some who who will eagerly open it because they don't want they want to know what it is that Orangeburg County is sending. There has to be other means where you heard that. We're already looking at it.

Pardon? We're already looking at All right. Any other comments? Thank you for the comment. Could I get a motion to second? So move, Mr. Chairman. Second move by Miss McCaster and second by Miss Walker that we the first reading on item eight as we explained. All in favor say I. I.

Any opposes? Eyes have it. The motion's carried. Item nine is a resolution authorizing article kind to participate in the sixth amendment dependent settlement in the opio litigation. Is that madam attorney or madam or either? That would be madam attorney. All right madam attorney go for it.

Now this is the fourth settlement agreement that the county has before it to either authorize or decide not to authorize. The bottom line is there uh is litigation that's going on throughout the country that's in multi-dist litigation, class action litigation, individual lawsuit litigations, all kind of litigation uh that Williams and Williams represents the county in uh as a local political subdivision. Uh and in each one of these consolidated lawsuit activity, what you have is an offer by the court uh to enforce the settlement without telling us how much or when you're going to get it. But if you don't sign on to participate, then you need to be bringing your own lawsuit to do it, which is not coste effective. Anyway, we uh requested an opinion from our legal council, Brad Hutau, uh and he recommended that the county uh pass this resolution to authorize the county to participate in this settlement agreement. Thank you so much Jenny for the question council attorney on the

So this is basically the settlement agreement that have been going on for several years now. It's one of them. We we've done three other ones you know they generally what happens is they go by groups of defendants. Were you a manufacturer? Were you a producer? for you. Uh, and this uh, six around the defendant settlement is the actual name of the settlement, which leads me to believe this is the end of the line. These are the last defendants to be settling. This is a different one than the one we voted on. Yes, we voted on three and each one of them is for a different set of defendants.

Any other questions? Motion a second. So move sir. Second move by Miss Cooper Smith and second by M. Walker that we pass nine as explained. All in favor say I. I oppose. Eyes have it. Motion's car. Next item is procurement and we have a sole source justification amplification of vendor license uh planning and building respective module by Tyler Technology Inc. Uh Mr. Administrator that's you or

Yes sir Mr. Chairman, um we're presenting this to you for upgrade of our um business license planning and building inspection modules, which is how they do the work of building inspection, uh business license, um production, and everything it involves with planning and zoning. Uh this process is being presented to you as a sole source because the company that we already have, which is Munis, which is what runs our financial system, this um software ties directly into that. So as they take cash receipts and everything at the window for payments for permits, planning, all that stuff, it will be seamlessly integrated into our current system. Uh the contract implementation is $540,359. And this will replace a system that was put in place probably 20 something years ago. So got our money's worth out of the system we have now, but it's just not adequate for what we have to do with modern technology. You've heard the uh explanation from the administrator council. Do you have any other further question on why it's so hearing? None. Could I get a motion in a second that we accept the SOS explanation that was given by the administrator and then move forward with this?

So move second. moved by Miss Garwin and second by either Miss Frasier or Mr. McCaster uh that we move forward. All in favor say I. Any opposes? Eyes have it. Motion is carried. Item B on the procurement is uh fiscal year 26-0325 Orangeburg County landscape maintenance. Um Mr. I see we had quite a few. That's good. quite a few people that did. So tell us why we got one why they want voting.

Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, uh the request for proposals were advertised on the county's website and bidnet.com. Um the proposals were due on March 25th and the county received eight proposals. Um after looking at and and doing the recommendations and when you see zones, we have break broken up the um county buildings in in the aspects of zones as we bid out these um landscape and maintenance services so that um we can get a more variety of people to do it. Um so we set up the zones that basically deal with most of the Orangeburg proper properties and then we'll have another zone for the ones that are on the eastern end and western end. But this is for zones one through four and we're recommending to you extreme outdoor solution. They are the responsive bidder in the amount of $345,272.

Thank you so much. Question question from anyone. Yeah, one question. You said that this is not for the west or the eastern end. This is only for

Yes, sir. These are for the properties that um are mostly in the central area of the county. Um it's probably about 25 to 30 properties and they range from like Lake Ed, Russell Street, Gibson Street, Media Street, Ellis Avenue, Sharon, Mixon, Chestnut, Ky Road, Carolina, John C, Pinland, St. Matthew is basically all the county properties in the central Orangeburg County that have to be cut. Then we'll have additional zones that will be bidded out for the areas outside of central orange area or for the western area and for the eastern area.

All right. Thank you, sir. Mr. Mr. Administrator. Yes, ma'am. If people were to look at this, they'll know why they have to pay the tax. It's a lot of property. It is. Yes, sir. It's a lot of property. All right. Any other question or comment? Hearing none. Uh, could I get a motion and second that we pass this that has just been explained to us by the administrator? So move, Mr. Chair. Second.

Move by Miss Frasier and second by M. Mr. Garvin that we pass the bid as explained for maintenance services in the central part of the county. All in favor say I. I. Any opposes? Eyes have it. Motion to chair. Thank you so very much. Um council, anybody starting from have any comments? Starting left. I just would like to acknowledge um Dr. Payne's social work class who is present with us this evening from South Carolina State University. I think most of you are juniors, correct?

Yeah, all all of them are juniors. I just want to say hello, welcome, and we I know I'll see y'all again. Yeah, just like to say that uh chairman and I was in attendance of the uh the ground breaking for the new bridge that's going to be over Lake Mary and it's going to be started in the next couple months. Talk about millions and millions of dollars. Um the governor was there and all of the dignitary out of Columbia uh which comes from tavern and etc etc and uh it was all positive a lot was brought out and what and how the bridge is going to look we got draft before but um the one that we saw this today was the same as what it was in written on in stone let's put it that way and uh hopefully within the next couple months they're going to be starting the process It's going to take about correct me about three years to complete.

Three and a half two and a half to three years to complete. So the old bridge space is going to be demolition down if I'm not mistaken for the new but um it's going to be the walking trail and everything else. We talk about pride all the time from one side of the lake to the next. It didn't have a walking trail. All that's included but it's a beautiful model. Proud of it. Thank you. We had our news media there in attendance as well too. If you would like to add, I would like to have him sit up if he would. I pretty much covered it. Thank you.

About $490 million project. Uh $390 million federal budget.

Rest and 300 I think it's 350 or 390 from federal July 1st, July 4th, America will celebrate its 250th anniversary. And if you ride around the county of Orangeberg, some of the areas are atrocious. They're ridiculous. I mean, it's it's just disgusting how people can just throw out trash and think that somebody it's going to just blow away. Well, a lot of it stays there. If it does blow away, blows on somebody's property.

Somebody has to pick it up and the county has people to pick it up. But that money could be used for something else. Instead, people have to go out and pick up trash. And then we have some volunteers. We have some some um little warriors, too. Thank goodness for them. Or we would be up to our necks in trash. If something isn't done, if people don't come change their mindsets about littering, we're going to begin to litter up to our necks. And it's and it's really harmful. They look at it and say it's nothing wrong, but litter is harmful. It's not harm for harm only harm for animals harm to human beings to produce the atmosphere. So, and it takes a cigarette but decades to just

this is one time I don't have anything. service chair. I just just want to say that um the um what you mentioned about OCE and that project is something to come. We met with the president of tech um last week and we're moving forward on that. But um it's going to be a tremendous boost to the to the community because the citizens in that area will be able to take classes and stuff at at the county services building and it's a long time coming like you say, but it it will definitely benefit the students of the future. And then also um the um uh the group that was up here tonight requested a um resolution and we'll present that to you at the next council. All right. Well, let's uh thank all of you for attending our meeting tonight. We appreciate all your inputs and young folks. We certainly are glad to see y'all. Come again.

Y'all looking fine back there. All ladies. Amen. You have friends there by yourself, sir? Oh, he loves it. You'll be all right. All right.
