The Mount Pleasant Town Council held a special meeting and its regular monthly meeting on August 11, 2026. In the special meeting, council entered executive session for legal and contractual discussion of an economic development incentive package, then voted to approve a motion related to the package; the motion carried 8–0. The business, incentive terms, and any dollar amount were not identified in the transcript. In the regular meeting, council approved a resolution adopting the CARTA fiscal year 2027 budget, with staff clarifying that it did not include Mount Pleasant funds, and approved a memorandum of agreement with the Charleston County School District regarding the school resource officer program. No contract values or procurement details were stated for either item.

Other actions included approval of an ordinance amendment raising the income eligibility limit for certain affordable homes to 120% of area median income. Council deferred a proposed moratorium on major subdivisions in historic areas to the next meeting by an 8–1 vote; the pending ordinance doctrine remains in effect. Council also approved first reading of an ordinance making the Green Space, Environmental Ecology and Natural Resources Commission a standing commission, with further discussion of its priorities expected before final approval.
