Council Meeting

The City of Tega Cay’s regular council meeting was held October 19, 2026. Council unanimously approved a yard-debris collection agreement for Cameron Creek: the city will collect bagged yard waste at designated locations, with no loose-leaf collection, under an agreement that renews annually unless ended by either party. Staff also discussed a street-patching bid and recommended the lowest qualified bidder, but the transcript does not capture the vendor, bid amount, or final action. The city manager reported a negotiated temporary materials-storage agreement with State Utilities, Inc., a county contractor, for November 1 through April 1 at $2,000 per month ($10,000 for the initial term), with possible month-to-month continuation and limits on work hours. The wastewater treatment plant improvement project was reported as progressing, with both plants back in operation.

After debate over deer-population data, community feedback, and costs, council approved a wildlife-management plan and contract with Low Country Wildlife Management by a 3–2 vote; discussion focused on a limited cull of at least 30 deer. One council member cited a minimum cost of $4,100 even if no deer were taken, while others favored pausing to gather more data. The meeting also included an overview of the Catawba-Wateree Integrated Water Resources Plan and a request for the city’s formal support by resolution; no resolution vote is captured. The presentation covered water supply, quality, drought planning, sedimentation, and potential effects of increased upstream water transfers.
