Council Meeting 08 18 25

The City of Tega Cay held a regular city council meeting on August 18, 2025, focusing heavily on fiscal year budgeting and procurement matters. The council discussed and approved a transitional fiscal year budget for 2025-2026, shifting the fiscal year to run from July 1 to June 30 starting in 2026. The budget included revenues of approximately $16.7 million and expenditures of about $14.2 million, with a millage rate rollback to 87 mills to accommodate reassessment impacts and future infrastructure and public safety needs. The council also approved awarding a bid for debris removal at the Fort Mill River access to Riverwalk Landscaping, the lowest bidder at $12,000, with conditions to ensure contract compliance and business licensing. Additionally, the council deliberated on a food and beverage contract for a city facility, ultimately voting 3-1 in favor of awarding the contract despite some public opposition and concerns about facility improvements. The meeting included updates on capital projects, development approvals, and community events, with emphasis on maintaining reserves and planning for future infrastructure costs. The council concluded with a motion to enter executive session to discuss contractual matters.
