Reports
Mayor Mitchell stated that, as chief administrative officer under the Town’s form of
government, he intended to provide Council and the public with reports on the four
departments comprising the executive branch of the Town of Chapin. He noted that, while
time would not allow for a full review of every department matter, he would highlight key
activities and provide Council an opportunity for discussion in the interest of transparency.
He further stated that Council members and citizens may request information regarding
Town departments and that responses would be provided.
Police Department
Mayor Mitchell reviewed Police Department matters, noting that officers generally issue
more warnings than citations and that Council had received information regarding recent
traffic stops. He stated that the Police Department would issue citations, rather than
warnings, for vehicles illegally modified in a manner commonly referred to as the “Carolina
squat,” citing safety concerns related to visibility and vehicle operation. Mayor Mitchell also
discussed the Town’s use of Flock cameras, noting that Chapin currently owns two
cameras and that the technology may assist law enforcement in identifying vehicles
connected to public safety incidents, traffic concerns, or damage to Town property. He
acknowledged concerns regarding potential misuse of camera data but stated that the
Town has policies governing appropriate use. He further referenced recent constructionrelated roadway incidents, including concrete deposited on Virginia Street, and stated that
camera footage assisted the Town in identifying the vehicle involved.
In response to a question regarding any future investment in additional Flock cameras,
Mayor Mitchell stated that expenditures not already included in the budget would require
approval by Council. He noted that proposed departmental budgets would be prepared for
Council review and discussion, including consideration of any additional Flock cameras

and associated annual costs. Mayor Mitchell stated that the existing cameras were funded
through the Police Department budget and that Council’s collective decision would guide
any future purchases.
Utility Department
Mayor Mitchell continued the Utility Department report, noting the appointment of David
Patton as Director of Utilities and stating that he was hired from within and recommended
by engineers and department personnel. Council members discussed whether department
heads should provide reports directly to Council. Mayor Mitchell stated that, under the
Town’s mayor-council form of government, he serves as chief administrative officer for the
executive branch and may provide department reports personally or request department
heads to do so. Council members expressed interest in receiving reports from department
heads, and the discussion included whether a legal opinion or ordinance could be pursued
regarding reporting procedures.
Mayor Mitchell then continued the Utility Department report and reviewed several current
projects and budget matters. He reported that the Primrose utility project was nearing
completion following testing and revisions needed because original drawings did not
match approved drawings. He stated that the line would be buried and placed into service
as part of the Town’s overall wastewater system. Mayor Mitchell also discussed the S-48
widening project, noting that utilities along the corridor must be relocated through
easement acquisition before portions of the project can proceed. He stated that the
Department of Transportation planned to begin work on other sections while utility
relocation continued and that the existing two lanes were scheduled to be repaved for
safety, with the overall widening project estimated to take approximately three years. Mayor
Mitchell further reported that repairs had been made to several lift stations where aging
cast iron pipes were damaged, preventing potential malfunctions. He also stated that, as of
the end of June, the Utility Department had used approximately 37% of its approved budget
and was operating within budget. He credited David Patton with careful budget oversight
and stated that Council members may submit additional questions to him for follow-up
responses.

Finance Report
Mayor Mitchell introduced the Finance Report and recognized Michelle McMurray, Director
of Finance, and her assistant, Carly, for their work. He stated that the Finance Director
prepared a detailed budget report addressing both the utility and administrative sides of
the Town’s finances. Mayor Mitchell explained that the Town maintains separate budgets
for utilities and all other departments, noting that utility funds are supported by tap sales

and recurring billing and must remain separate from other Town funds. He further reported
that Town revenues outside utilities are primarily generated through business licenses and
other revenue sources. Mayor Mitchell summarized that administration had spent
approximately 37.74% of its budget while the fiscal year was approximately 50% complete,
police had spent approximately 47.5%, and utilities had spent a little over $2 million of a $6
million budget. He stated that all departments were operating within their approved
budgets on a prorated basis and that the budget report would be provided to Council and
the public for transparency.
Planning and Zoning
Mayor Mitchell provided additional Planning and Zoning updates, including discussion of
the proposed Jim Hudson dealership on annexed property and ongoing review by the
Planning Commission and Architectural Review Board to ensure the project complies with
Town architectural requirements and ordinances. He also discussed a dermatology
business on Old Lexington Road that requested backup power through rooftop solar
panels. Mayor Mitchell stated that the Architectural Review Board initially approved the
request based on drawings showing screening vegetation; however, after it was brought to
the Town’s attention that the trees had been removed and the panels would be visible from
the public right-of-way, the Board held a special called meeting and revised its decision to
enforce the Town’s ordinance regarding visible solar panels. Mayor Mitchell stated that the
correction was necessary to ensure consistent enforcement of Town ordinances and avoid
unequal application of the rules. He also expressed appreciation for the work of the
Architectural Review Board and Planning Commission members.
Public Comments
The Chapin Garden Club addressed Council regarding its environmental stewardship
efforts and the Town’s community wildlife habitat designation. Shawn Grover, President of
the Chapin Garden Club, stated that the Club was founded in 1938 and federally affiliated
with the Garden Club of South Carolina in 1945. She explained that the Club’s mission has
evolved to focus on stewardship of South Carolina’s natural resources in Chapin through
civic engagement and education. Ms. Grover reported that, in 2024, Chapin was
designated as a community wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation and is one
of only 15 such designations in South Carolina. She stated that annual recertification
requires additional homes, schools, businesses, churches, public spaces, and other
properties to be certified as wildlife habitats through the South Carolina Wildlife
Federation. Ms. Grover encouraged citizens to certify their properties and noted the Club’s
goal for Chapin to become South Carolina’s largest designated community wildlife habitat
by 2030. Council members discussed potential beautification opportunities, including the
roundabout on Wessinger Highway, while noting Department of Transportation ownership,

liability, water access, and other considerations. Mayor Mitchell stated that the Town would
continue exploring a safe, legal, and appropriate way to improve the area and expressed
appreciation for the Garden Club’s presentation.
Action Items
FOIA Fee Schedule Revisions –
Mayor Mitchell recognized Municipal Town Clerk Susan Mills for her work managing meeting
records, FOIA requests, and related administrative responsibilities. He explained that recent
complex FOIA requests required significant staff time and that the Town’s existing fee
schedule did not fully recover applicable costs. Mayor Mitchell stated that Ms. Mills reviewed
fee schedules from other jurisdictions and comparable providers and prepared
recommended updates for Council consideration. Council discussed the proposed FOIA fee
schedule revisions, including copy charges, electronic records, USBs, staff time, billing
increments, and the distinction between simple requests that may be provided at no charge
and more complex requests requiring substantial staff time. Discussion also addressed
transparency, legal compliance with FOIA obligations, treatment of records held by other
agencies, and the handling of any revenue received through the Town’s budget process. A
motion was made by Council Member Burritt and seconded by Council Member Shealy to
move forward with approval of the revised fee schedule. Following discussion and roll call
vote, the motion carried unanimously.

“Welcome to Chapin” Sign –
Mayor Mitchell introduced the second agenda item regarding the “Welcome to Chapin” signs
located at the Town’s entrances. He stated that the Town has signs at three primary entry
points, including the I-26 entrance and both ends of Highway 76, and noted that one sign
had been removed due to nearby construction. Mayor Mitchell explained that Gerald Metz,
who previously built Town signs and serves on the Architectural Review Board, offered to
construct and install three new signs if the Town covered the approximate cost of materials.
Mayor Mitchell stated that, because the signs are important to the community, public input
and Council discussion were appropriate before proceeding. He reported that a group
organized by Planning and Zoning Director Reid Radtke reviewed options and narrowed the
designs to three choices for consideration. Council discussed the proposed designs,

including options featuring Chapin blue and Lake Murray imagery. A motion was made and
seconded to discuss the sign recommendations. Council Member Mike Clonts then moved
to amend the motion to accept Design No. 3 for the Welcome to Chapin signs, and the
amendment was seconded. Following roll call vote, the motion carried.

Mayor Pro Tem Ainslee Bost stated that she would like to make a motion to amend the
agenda.
Following discussion regarding adjournment, a motion was made and seconded to amend
the agenda to consider a resolution expressing no confidence in the leadership of Mayor Bill
Mitchell. Council discussed the proposed resolution, including concerns related to
transparency, communication with Council and citizens, access to department staff and
financial information, Town Hall operations, legal counsel, employee workload,
administrative practices, and the working relationship between Council and the Mayor.
Mayor Mitchell responded to the concerns raised and provided explanations regarding Town
Hall hours, staffing, phone coverage, departmental workload, financial administration, and
related operational matters. After discussion, Council proceeded to a roll call vote on the
resolution. The motion carried, with Mayor Mitchell voting in opposition. Thereafter, a motion

6:00 P.M.

Council Chambers, Chapin Town Hall

Members Present: Mayor Bill Mitchell, Council Member Warren Burritt, Mayor Pro Tem
Ainslee Bost, Council Member Vicky Shealy, Council Member Mike Clonts
Call to Order: Mayor Mitchell called the meeting to order at 6:01pm. Mayor Mitchell stated
that the meeting was held in compliance with the South Carolina Freedom of Information
Act, that proper notice had been given, and that the agenda had been made available for
public review.
Ordinances
Mayor Mitchell summarized the purpose of the special called meeting as consideration of
proposed ordinance amendments related to Town departments, the municipal attorney, and
communications with legal counsel. Council discussed the proposed amendment to
Section 2.401 regarding authority to establish Town offices and departments. Mayor Pro Tem
Bost stated that the proposed language was intended to align Town ordinances with South
Carolina law and clarify the respective responsibilities of the Mayor and Council. Mayor
Mitchell expressed opposition, stating that he believed the proposed language could affect
the Mayor’s statutory voting authority and should be reviewed by the South Carolina Attorney
General’s Office before second reading. Council Member Burritt stated that the term
“Council” included the Mayor as a member of Council. Following discussion, the item was
advanced to second reading without a vote, as first reading required no final action.
Council next discussed the proposed amendment to Section 2.601 regarding the municipal
attorney. Mayor Mitchell again expressed opposition and stated that he intended to seek an
opinion from the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office prior to second reading. Mayor
Pro Tem Bost referenced South Carolina Code Section 5-7-230 and Attorney General
opinions in support of Council’s authority regarding appointment of a municipal attorney.
Following discussion, the item was advanced to second reading without a vote, as no final
action was required on first reading.
Council then discussed a proposed new ordinance establishing Council liaisons for
communications and coordination with legal counsel. Mayor Mitchell summarized the
proposed language and expressed concern that the ordinance could affect the Town’s
mayor-council form of government and the Mayor’s administrative role. Council members in
favor stated that the liaisons would serve as a communication bridge between Council and

legal counsel, would not have independent decision-making authority without Council
approval, and were intended to keep Council informed. Following discussion, the item was
advanced to second reading without a vote.
Adjournment
Before adjournment, Council Member Clonts attempted to introduce a resolution
encouraging joint training for the Mayor and Town Council. Mayor Mitchell stated that the
item could not be added to the agenda at that point in the meeting but could be placed on a
future agenda in accordance with proper procedure. A motion was then made to adjourn,
and the meeting was adjourned.

Meeting was adjourned at 7:47pm.

CHAPIN TOWN COUNCIL
SPECIAL CALLED MEETING MINUTES
August 6, 2026
6:00 P.M.

Council Chambers, Chapin Town Hall

Members Present: Mayor Bill Mitchell, Council Member Warren Burritt, Mayor Pro Tem
Ainslee Bost, Council Member Vicky Shealy, Council Member Mike Clonts
Call to Order: Mayor Mitchell called the meeting to order at 6:01pm. Mayor Mitchell stated
that the meeting was held in compliance with the South Carolina Freedom of Information
Act, that proper notice had been given, and that the agenda had been made available for
public review.
Ordinances
1. Council continued discussion of the ordinance amendments listed on the agenda,
including second readings related to Sections 2.401 and 2.601. Mayor Mitchell
reviewed the purpose of first and second readings and stated that discussion should
be conducted with courtesy, respect, and decorum. Council discussed the proposed
amendment to Section 2.401 regarding the authority to create and establish Town
offices, departments, and sections. The discussion included whether the ordinance
language should refer to “Council,” “Town Council,” “Municipal Council,” or “Mayor
and Council,” and whether the proposed wording sufficiently clarified that the Mayor
is included as a member of the municipal council under the Town’s form of
government. Mayor Mitchell expressed concern that the proposed wording could
create confusion regarding the Mayor’s role, and Council members supporting the
amendment stated that the language was intended to conform the ordinance to
South Carolina law and clarify the authority of Council. A motion to table the matter
for wording changes failed for lack of a second. A motion was then made and
seconded to proceed with the ordinance as written. Following roll call vote, the
motion carried, with Mayor Mitchell voting in opposition.
2. Council next discussed the second reading of the proposed amendment to Section
2.601 regarding the municipal attorney. The discussion addressed the existing
ordinance language concerning appointment of the municipal attorney, the proposed
changes related to Town Council authority, retention of legal counsel, expenditure of
Town funds for legal services, and language concerning Council liaisons. Council
members discussed whether the liaison language was part of the amendment before

Council, whether additional legal review should be obtained, and whether the matter
should be tabled, amended, or referred for an outside legal opinion. Mayor Mitchell
expressed concerns regarding the proposed liaison language, the Town’s mayorcouncil form of government, and the Mayor’s administrative authority. Council
members supporting the amendment stated that the changes were intended to
reinforce Council’s authority to appoint the municipal attorney, promote
accountability, and ensure access to legal representation for Council and the Town.
Discussion also included concerns regarding prior efforts to retain legal counsel,
communication with attorneys engaged by the Town, access to legal information,
executive session confidentiality, attorney invoices and engagement letters, the
Mayor’s authority to make day-to-day administrative and financial decisions within
the approved budget, and Council’s role in approving or overseeing legal services.
Council members also discussed a prior settlement-related payment and whether
required documentation had been received before payment could be issued. Mayor
Mitchell stated that the Town had paid the public settlement amount previously
approved and that a remaining retirement-related payment had not yet been made
because documentation was needed. Council Member Shealy stated that her inquiry
was intended to ensure the Town avoided additional costs, while Mayor Mitchell
stated that the payment did not accrue interest and reiterated the need for proper
documentation.
Council continued discussion of the second reading of the proposed amendment to
Section 2.601 regarding the municipal attorney. Mayor Mitchell summarized the
existing ordinance language and the proposed changes, including language related
to Town Council authority to appoint or remove the municipal attorney, authorize
legal services, expend Town funds for legal services, and communicate through
Council liaisons. Council members discussed whether the liaison language was
included in the amendment before Council and whether additional legal review,
revisions, or tabling of the matter should be considered before final action.
Council members expressed differing views regarding the need for legal counsel and
the manner in which attorneys retained by the Town should communicate with
Council. Discussion included prior efforts to retain a town attorney, concerns about
Council access to legal information, the Mayor’s authority to engage specialty legal
counsel within budgeted funds, and Council’s role in approving or overseeing legal
services. Mayor Mitchell stated that attorneys retained through engagement letters
represented the Town and not him personally, and he reiterated that Council
members should have access to information necessary to perform their duties.
Discussion further addressed executive session confidentiality, attorney
introductions to Council, prior attorney engagements, the hiring of the Finance

Director, and the distinction between appointment of a municipal attorney by Council
and the Mayor’s authority over day-to-day administrative decisions. Council
members stated that the amendment was intended to clarify that the Town attorney
represents the Town and Council collectively and to provide Council meaningful
access to legal guidance. Mayor Mitchell opposed the liaison language, stating that
he believed it conflicted with the Town’s mayor-council form of government and could
result in legal action seeking a declaratory judgment.
Council also discussed a prior settlement-related payment and whether a remaining
retirement-related amount had been paid. Council Member Shealy stated that her
inquiry was intended to avoid additional costs to the Town. Mayor Mitchell stated that
the public settlement amount had been paid, that a remaining amount had not yet
been paid because an invoice or proper documentation was needed, and that the
amount did not accrue interest.
Mayor Pro Tem Bost reviewed provisions of South Carolina Code Section 5-9-30
regarding the Mayor’s administrative authority and stated that the proposed
amendment was not intended to remove the Mayor’s statutory powers, but to ensure
Council involvement in legal representation and access to legal guidance. Mayor
Mitchell responded that Council could appoint a municipal attorney but reiterated his
opposition to any language that, in his view, would alter the Town’s form of
government or exclude the Mayor from necessary legal communications.
Following discussion, a motion was made and seconded to approve the second
reading of the amendment. Following roll call vote, the motion carried, with Mayor
Mitchell voting in opposition.
3-5.

Council then proceeded to the remaining agenda items, which consisted of
first readings of additional proposed ordinance amendments, including
amendments related to Section 2.122 and Section 2.214 of the Chapin Town
Code. Mayor Mitchell stated that first readings did not require a vote and
served to provide public notice before second reading and further discussion.
Council proceeded to the remaining agenda items, including first readings of
proposed amendments related to Sections 2.214 and 2.211 of the Chapin
Town Code, addressing procedures for regular Town Council meetings,
agenda packets, departmental operational reports, and monthly financial
reports. Mayor Mitchell stated that first readings did not require a vote and
served to provide notice prior to second reading and further discussion.

Other
6. Council then discussed attorneys currently retained or consulted by the Mayor. Mayor
Mitchell stated that he had entered into engagement agreements for legal assistance and
that the attorneys represented the Town rather than him personally. Council members asked
questions regarding the identity of the attorneys, whether an out-of-state attorney was
licensed to practice in South Carolina, the hourly rates and retainer requirements, and
whether Council approval was required before engaging legal counsel. Mayor Mitchell stated
that one attorney, identified as Mr. Samuels, charged $200 per hour with no retainer, while
another attorney, David Black, charged a higher hourly rate ($690 per hour)and required a
retainer ($10,000). Mayor Mitchell stated that he believed he had authority to engage
attorneys within the approved budget, while Council members expressed concerns about
checks and balances, transparency, Council approval, and the need to review invoices and
documentation for legal expenses.
Discussion included questions regarding prior attorney costs, retainers, invoices, and the
amount spent on legal services. Mayor Mitchell stated that he would provide requested
information and fee schedules, and he compared current legal expenditures with prior legal
costs incurred by the Town. Council members stated that their questions were intended to
obtain information and promote transparency rather than attack the Mayor. Mayor Mitchell
stated that he welcomed Council involvement, would provide information to Council, and
wanted to work cooperatively for the benefit of the Town.

Adjournment
A motion was made and seconded to adjourn the meeting. The motion carried, and the
meeting was adjourned at 7:47 p.m.

Utilities and Public Works Monthly Report
for month of July 2026

Labor Day Committee Report
The Labor Day Committee continues to work diligently to ensure a successful and memorable Labor Day celebration.
Committee members are making excellent progress on event planning and preparations, and we anticipate this
year’s parade will be the best one yet. As of August 11, there are 77 vendor registrations confirmed, with the
vendor application deadline set for August 14. In addition, the committee has received 33 parade entries to date.
The deadline for parade entry registration is August 21, and additional participants are expected before that date.
The committee appreciates the continued support of Council and looks forward to providing further updates as the
event approaches.

Maintenance Department Staffing Update
The Maintenance Department has welcomed a new full-time employee to its team. Cody Sanders joined the
department on August 10 and will serve as a valuable addition to the Town's operations. Mr. Sanders brings
experience in both water and wastewater systems, providing skills and knowledge that will strengthen the
department's ability to maintain and improve essential utility infrastructure. His background and expertise are
expected to be a significant asset as the department continues to meet the needs of the community. We are pleased
to welcome Cody to the team and look forward to his contributions to the Town's maintenance and utility
operations.

Amicks Ferry Road Water Capacity Improvements Project
This project’s purpose is to improve drinking water quality and capacity to meet the existing peak demands. It
consists of a new 12-inch water main extending approximately 4,800 linear feet along Amick’s Ferry Road from Bear
Creek Road to Sandbar Road and includes a new interconnection meter vault with backflow prevention and SCADA
controls for altitude valve. It will connect to a City of Columbia 12-inch water main.
As it stands now, the design is 95% complete and the permits have all been submitted. Hussey Gay Bell is
handling this for us. They are just waiting on the go-ahead from the EPA to start using funds toward the construction of
this project.
For funding, we applied through Senator Lindsey Graham’s Congressional Appropriations and were successfully
awarded $1,589,196, which is 80% of the projected cost of the project.
The funds are channeled through the U.S. EPA to a regional grants office, and as such, require enrollment in the EPA
grants program for implementation. We are now working through the standard requirements with the EPA in order to
establish a start date for funding.
As soon as the EPA approves the funding, we can advertise the project for bids. After a 30-day advertisement
period, we will hold the bid opening at Town Hall and begin selecting a contractor to perform the work
