Council Meeting 09 21 2026

The City of Tega Cay held its regular City Council meeting on September 21, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and voted upon. Key procurement actions included the approval of a resolution to apply for the Municipal Association of South Carolina's Big Idea Grant to fund a water system monitoring project, with a required local match commitment. Another resolution was approved to match funds for a Problem Solver Grant aimed at installing a lightning alert system at city parks and event venues. The council also deliberated extensively on awarding a contract for curbside residential solid waste collection, ultimately deciding to continue with the incumbent, Signature Waste, despite a slightly higher bid, citing service reliability and community ties. Additionally, the council approved the purchase of a new leaf collection truck for stormwater management at a cost of $337,000, with an amendment requiring a detailed equipment management and maintenance plan prior to fund commitment. A compensation and classification study contract was awarded to MGT Impact Solutions LLC for $30,150 after a split vote, despite some concerns about references. The meeting also included updates on capital improvement projects such as the Grey Rock Road trail bid and wastewater treatment plant improvements, as well as community engagement events and departmental reports.
