neighboring fire departments, improving regional emergency
response coordination.
2. The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was activated during
the Drone Show, with Emergency Management, Public Works,

Department for their support in planning and staffing the
Drone Show.

CITY OF TRAVELERS REST
WAYS & MEANS COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
Thursday, July 14, 5:30 p.m.
City Hall Council Chambers

Notices of this Committee Meeting of City Council were provided to social media outlets,
the City’s website, and any individual requesting a copy of the agenda informing them of
the date, location, and time of the meeting.

1. Call to Order
a. Chair Grant Bumgarner called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
2. Ways and Means Committee
Members: Grant Bumgarner (Chair), Sherry Marrah, Lisa Lane, Kelly Byers, and
Catherine James
a. Chair Bumgarner called the meeting to order by roll call.
b. Administrator Herman gave a presentation on the proposed Municipal Tax Relief
Act Referendum, which would allow Travelers Rest voters to decide whether to
implement a temporary 1% local sales tax to provide homeowner property tax
relief and fund critical infrastructure projects. Some key points of her
presentation include:
i. The proposal would appear on the November 3, 2026, ballot and requires
voter approval. If approved, the 1% sales tax would be in effect from May
2027 through April 2035.
ii. The tax is projected to generate approximately $19.8 million over 8 years,
with at least 20% ($3.9 million) dedicated to homeowner property tax
relief and the remaining $15.8 million funding capital projects such as
sidewalks, parks, roads, parking, and stormwater improvements.
iii. The average owner-occupied home is projected to receive an annual
property tax rebate of approximately $360, with the average household
expected to see a net annual benefit of about $60.
iv. The City estimates that approximately 61% of sales tax revenue would be
generated by non-residents and visitors, allowing visitors to help fund
infrastructure they use while reducing the tax burden on homeowners.

v. Staff presented a proposed two-tier capital project list, including a
regional stormwater pond, Gateway Park improvements, Trailblazer Park
enhancements, sidewalk and trail connections, parking improvements,
and roadway projects. The project list may be amended before final
ordinance adoption.
vi. Administrator Herman reviewed the public process and timeline,
including the public workshop and hearing, ordinance readings, and
election deadlines required to place the referendum before voters.
vii. Committee Member Bumgarner explained that City Council was not
voting to enact the proposed 1% municipal sales tax, but rather to place
the question before Travelers Rest voters in a November referendum. He
noted that, if approved by voters, the temporary tax would provide
homeowner property tax relief and fund critical infrastructure projects
without creating new debt or additional staffing needs. He also
emphasized that the proposal is separate from any potential county
sales tax initiative and encouraged residents to provide feedback during
the August 6 public workshop and hearing.
1. Councilmember Marrah asked about the City's current sales
tax rate and how the proposed referendum would compare to
other areas of the state. Administrator Herman explained that
the current sales tax rate is 6%, and the proposed referendum
would increase it to 7%. State law caps the combined sales tax
rate at 9%, and most South Carolina counties already have a
local option sales tax in place.
2. Councilmember Marrah asked whether the projected project
costs account for future inflation and whether significant cost
increases could result in projects being removed from the list.
She also asked whether the proposed sidewalk projects would
include standard-width sidewalks or the larger sidewalk design
used on previous projects. Administrator Herman explained
that project cost estimates include a 30% contingency, which
is higher than the typical 20% contingency used for projects, to
help account for potential cost increases. She noted that
extreme market disruptions could impact costs but expects
the contingency to be sufficient under normal conditions.
Herman also stated that the proposed sidewalk projects are
anticipated to use standard pedestrian sidewalk designs, with
confirmation to be provided before the next meeting.

3. Committee Member Lane asked for clarification on the
projected average household sales tax contribution of $300
and whether that estimate was based on the current 6% sales
tax rate or the proposed 7% rate. She also noted that she had
previously discussed project cost estimates with staff.
Administrator Herman explained that the estimated $300
annual household sales tax contribution was calculated using
two methods. The first used actual taxable sales data from the
City of Travelers Rest at the current 6% sales tax rate,
accounting for estimated resident spending, which resulted in
approximately $299 per household. Staff also compared this
estimate with national consumer spending data and found a
similar result, supporting that the $300 estimate is a
reasonable projection.
4. Mayor Amidon informed attendees that the Ways and Means
Committee meeting was still in progress and explained that
the regular City Council meeting would begin after the
committee discussion concluded. She thanked the audience
for attending and noted that they would gain insight into the
City’s financial discussions during the process.
5. Committee Member Byers asked for clarification on the
percentage of Travelers Rest residents living in owneroccupied homes. Staff explained that approximately 55% of
housing units are owner-occupied and noted that a significant
portion of non-owner-occupied housing is likely associated
with Furman University. Administrator Herman explained that
a portion of non-owner-occupied housing in Travelers Rest is
associated with Furman University. She noted that much of
this housing is owned by the Furman Foundation and is already
exempt from paying property taxes.
6. Committee Member Byers asked about public input
opportunities, exempted purchases, impacts on renters and
businesses, and clarification on operating costs. Administrator
Herman explained that the August 6 workshop will allow
council discussion followed by a public hearing for community
feedback. She reiterated that groceries, gas, and prescriptions
would be exempt from the tax. Herman noted that while
renters and businesses would not receive property tax relief,

they would benefit from investments in infrastructure, parks,
sidewalks, public safety, and economic vitality. She clarified
that the proposed projects are intended to have minimal
ongoing maintenance costs, with the exception of projects
such as a splash pad, which would require additional
consideration.
7. Committee Member Byers asked how projects would be
prioritized if sales tax revenues do not meet projections.
Administrator Herman explained that Tier One projects would
be the priority, and decisions regarding Tier Two projects or any
changes to the project list would require council action and
potentially an ordinance amendment and public hearing.
Discussion also clarified that the City would be bound by the
approved project categories and funding limits but could
maintain some flexibility within those categories. The Little
Texas Road traffic circle improvements were also discussed,
with confirmation that the design would continue to
accommodate large vehicles, including fire trucks and delivery
trucks.
8. Committee Member James asked whether the state would
have authority over extending the sales tax referendum after
the initial eight-year period. The discussion clarified that any
extension would require a new referendum approved by
voters, and the opportunity would depend on the state’s laws
and authorization at that time. Attorney Childs explained that
the current legislation does not address whether the tax can
automatically be extended after the initial eight-year period.
He noted that additional legislative guidance may be needed
and that any future extension would likely require state
authorization and a new voter referendum.
9. Committee Member James asked whether there would be a
gap in tax relief if a new referendum is required after the initial
eight-year period. Attorney Childs explained that a gap is
possible, as the current legislation does not guarantee an
automatic extension. He noted that future renewal would likely
require additional state authorization and another voter
referendum.

10. Committee Member Lane asked how additional sales tax
revenue beyond projections would be allocated. Attorney
Childs explained that the ordinance prioritizes using excess
funds for additional property tax relief. He also clarified that
Tier One projects must be completed before Tier Two projects
unless there are extenuating circumstances, and the
prioritization of projects would be determined by council vote.
11. Committee Member Marrah asked how the timing of the sales
tax relief would work given the tax begins in May 2027 and ends
in April 2035. Attorney Childs explained that the first year
would likely require a prorated calculation, with full property
tax relief expected in subsequent years, pending guidance
from the Department of Revenue. Marrah also requested
updated comparisons using the proposed 7% sales tax rate
and confirmation that the relief would apply to homeowners
receiving the homestead exemption, which was confirmed.
12. Committee Member Marrah asked about transparency
measures and how the tax could impact local businesses.
Administrator Herman explained that the ordinance requires
an annual report detailing sales tax collections and project
expenditures to ensure transparency. Marrah also asked about
potential impacts on manufacturing businesses, and Herman
noted that staff would research the issue further before the
public workshop.
c. Committee Member Marrah seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
3. Adjournment
a. Chair Bumgarner made a motion to adjourn. Committee Member Lane
seconded the motion. The motion to adjourn passed unanimously at 6:25 p.m.
