City Council Formal Meeting | July 13, 2026

The City Council of Greenville, South Carolina, held a formal meeting on July 13, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key agenda items included the appropriation of funds for the state-funded school resource officer program, with a budget of $1,115,558, and the allocation of $535,049 in opioid grant funds to support the opioid recovery team. The council also deliberated on a municipal tax relief act ordinance proposing a 1% sales and use tax to provide property tax relief and finance neighborhood infrastructure and public safety projects. This tax is intended to fund capital improvement projects aligned with the city's 2040 comprehensive plan, focusing on equitable neighborhood enhancements and infrastructure upgrades. The council emphasized ongoing community engagement and transparency in project prioritization and implementation. Additionally, a resolution was passed to transfer sections of Jenkins Street from the state highway system to the city street system. Public comments primarily addressed concerns about neighborhood development density and surveillance technology, but no direct procurement actions were taken on those issues during the meeting.
