“Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'd just like to inform the public that I have in front of me here, sent by the Assistant County Administrator, Houston Gamble, the preliminary, the Greenville County Transportation Sales Act preliminary project list for year one. So we're getting that out for everybody. Obviously, we won't pass this unless the penny tax passes, then we'll get the preliminary list out. But I'd just like to go through some of the things real quick. The construction projects, we're going to do intersection safety improvements. A lot of places, we get a lot of complaints for different…”

“There's going to be about 20 public information meetings where this will be put out with a static map of where it's located. and everybody's welcome to come have input on that and also take a look at the list. So that will be coming out shortly, about 20-plus public meetings that the county is going to do in conjunction with some of the just groups in the area. So we simply get the facts out. I just want to reiterate the county is not promoting this. I am because I am obviously a citizen and a counselor, but the county itself would be simply just presenting facts and what the county plans to…”

“ONE QUESTION, MAYBE FOR THE ADMINISTRATOR. I LOOKED THROUGH THE LIST AND THERE WERE TWO VEHICLES ON THERE THAT WERE TAHOS VERSUS EVERYBODY ELSE GETTING AN EXPLORER. WHAT MAKES THAT DIFFERENCE THAT SOMEONE GETS A TAHO VERSUS AN EXPLORER? ARE THEY CARRYING MORE EQUIPMENT? Is it a stature or what delineates that?”

“Yeah, it was for EMS. That's why I'm wondering what that's for. If you could get back to me on that, I'd appreciate that. I mean, I'll pass it. I'll be voting for it, but I would, you know, eventually, but I would like to know why those, why we're replacing these large, you know, to try and save money, why we're replacing with Tahoe's. They're significantly more expensive than vehicles like a Ford Explorer.”

“Mr. Chairman, just a point of order. Are there, other than outside of the ones I proposed, I believe minor for E, are there other amendments for D that I'm missing? Just to make sure we amend the right, that we're making the motion on the right part.”
County Council · Sep 1, 2026

“Okay, just making sure. That's all. We'll have to do the other also. Okay, good. Thank you.”

“Real quick, I would like to say what some of these amendments are. And as I sat down and read the final copy and as I had submitted some other LDR amendments that you'll see in two weeks from now, I thought to myself, this is not giving the Planning Commission, the power that we really wanted to have and the discretion we want the Planning Commission to have. Some of the legal troubles we're in now is because of the nebulous about these LDRs read. So what I proposed as I sat down and said, we have to change it, and you'll see that's what these amendments are. But what I want to stress to my…”

“Mr. Chairman, if I may. So I think I'm looking for it here, but I don't want people to think I'm surfing the web. The ordinance reads that the underlying density table must be adhered to. So basically what that's saying is if you have a 10-acre plot and you can put 90 houses, that even with the open space, now you're down to only being able to use seven acres, you can still put 90 acres on that seven acres. You can't put 120 there. There's nothing like that in this ordinance at all. It's basically saying we had to, so that it's still attractive to be developed and keep the open spaces, that…”

“So the county is getting land that will never be developed, and the density is actually lower. I'm good.”

“And just to be sure, the amendments that I had that I brought in late because of just reading it and sitting down and thinking over it again are to strengthen the Planning Commission's authority to say yes or no. All right.”

“Item 9F, wireless communication facilities ordinance. I move for adoption of third reading and ordinance to provide regulations of wireless communication facilities, including cell towers, in the unincorporated areas of Greenville County.”

“Point of order. I don't mind you speaking, but we're in the middle of a roll call, so I think if we're going to make comments, we need to hold after the roll call or suspend the roll call and have comments. Just a procedural thing. That's all right.”

“Just two things today. We had the Greenville Airport Commission from the downtown airport come in and give us a brief on airport operations and how the county and city can... kind of collaborate with the airport a little more in the future. A little disclosure, I work there a lot. I operate a business out of there. But it's very important. And the tax money and the revenues and the business that airport brings are critical to this area. So as we move along here, from my colleagues, you'll be seeing maybe something in the budget to help that out between the county, city, the state. and…”
