Rules and Appointments Committee - June 23, 2026

The Richland County Rules and Appointments Committee met on June 23, 2026, primarily to discuss appointments to various county boards including the East Richland Committee, Midlands Workforce Development Board, Board of Adjusting and Appeals, and the Planning Commission. A key procurement-related issue involved ensuring appointees reside in the correct districts, specifically addressing an error where an appointee did not live in the required district, necessitating a withdrawal and reappointment process. The committee deferred approval of the minutes to correct this issue and proceeded with interviews and appointments for several vacancies. Motions to approve appointments and adjourn the meeting were passed unanimously. No direct contract awards, RFPs, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
