# Commissioners Zoom's Meeting

Richland County Board of Commissioners meeting, October 13, 2026. Commissioners approved the record of proceedings and requisitions, and approved a downward change order for auto-title renovations; the change-order amount was not stated. They also approved a utility permit application for a pole replacement on Ganges Five Points Road. A $2,476 quote from Vassu Communications was presented and appears to have received approval, although the transcript is unclear about the motion and vote. The board also accepted a child-support employee’s resignation.

During department updates, staff reported that the countywide smart-meter replacement program was about 75% complete, with work expected to continue beyond the first of the year; figures cited included approximately 66,000 meters for the Mansfield service center and an estimated 35,000–40,000 for the county. Replacement of legacy streetlights with LEDs is also underway, with more installations expected through 2027. The commissioners later entered executive session to discuss a public employee’s compensation and reported no action afterward.
