10/22/2026 - Charleston County Council

Charleston County Council committee meeting, October 22, 2026, included Human Resources and Finance Committee business. The Finance Committee approved a consent agenda and a resolution for eminent domain related to the Sally Manigault Road improvement project. Discussion focused on acquiring roughly 0.37–0.47 acres for an appraised amount of approximately $500,000; staff said the acquisition was based on the appraisal and offered to provide the appraisal report. The resolution passed with two votes in opposition. No vendor or contract award was identified.

The Human Resources Committee deferred proposed HR policy updates until a special meeting so Council members could review redlined language, including EEO policy wording intended to avoid jeopardizing federal grants, along with grievance and holiday-pay changes. Council also discussed a night-court staffing/pay proposal, including its effect on the magistrate court budget, jail bookings, and employee benefits; it was deferred for further information and expected to return at a special meeting Tuesday. No other specific procurement actions were identified.
