1. Call to Order
a. Mayor Amidon called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m.
2. Ordinances and Resolutions for Second Reading
a. Mayor Amidon made a motion to approve Ordinance 0-11-26 for the Travelers
Rest Homeowner Tax Relief and Critical Project Sales Tax Referendum. This
ordinance would place a referendum on the November 3rd ballot asking
Traveler's Rest voters whether to approve a 1% Municipal Sales Tax. If approved,
the tax would be used to provide property tax relief for owner-occupied
homes and fund designated critical infrastructure and public improvement
projects with annual public reporting on revenue, spending, and tax relief.
i. Councilmember Bumgarner reiterated that Council is not imposing the
tax at this time but is approving the referendum question for the
November ballot, allowing Travelers Rest voters to decide whether to
approve the proposed tax to fund the projects presented.
ii. Mayor Amidon made a motion to amend the tiered project list by moving
the splash pad to Tier 2 and moving the skate park and Gateway Stadium

seating to Tier 1. The amendment changes the total for Tier 1 to
$7,105,106.05 and Tier 2 to $8,720,893.95.
1. Councilmember Lane explained that the skate park and
Gateway Stadium seating were moved to Tier 1 because the
skate park already has a conceptual design, serves multiple
age groups, and has lower ongoing maintenance costs than a
splash pad. Moving the splash pad to Tier 2 allows more time
for planning and design and ensures there is sufficient taxbase support for its future maintenance. She emphasized that
the change does not eliminate the splash pad but instead
establishes a different order of priority while continuing to
focus on Gateway Park.
2. Mayor Amidon said the skate park has been a long-standing
priority and would provide a place for Travelers Rest High
School students and other youth to go. She noted that the
current proposal feels like a more manageable and achievable
version of the project.
3. Councilmember Criss asked whether the park survey showed
greater public interest in a splash pad or a skate park.
Administrator Herman said she did not have the park survey
results available at the time but could later pull the results.
Councilmember Criss also asked for a ballpark estimate of the
operating costs for a splash pad. Administrator Herman said
she did not have a specific figure available but had researched
the costs associated with skate parks and splash pads.
4. Councilmember Lane noted that several municipalities have
developed skate parks before splash pads, possibly due to
financial considerations. Administrator Herman explained that
skate parks generally have lower ongoing maintenance needs,
primarily involving long-lasting concrete with occasional
repairs. Splash pads require more maintenance due to DHECregulated water circulation systems, pumps, electrical
components, and other mechanical equipment, which can
require frequent repairs.
5. Councilmember Criss clarified that moving the splash pad to
Tier 2 does not eliminate the project or the concerns
surrounding it; it simply defers when Council will address and
consider those issues. Administrator Herman also clarified

that the amendment only changes the order of priority
between the tiers. Projects would move forward as revenue
becomes available, with Council reviewing an annual capital
improvement plan. Funding for Tier 2 projects could begin
once 70% of Tier 1 contracts have been awarded. The City
expects approximately $1.6 million annually to be available for
projects, so the tiers establish the order in which projects are
funded rather than eliminating any project.
6. Councilmember James asked whether the order in which the
projects are listed within each tier determines the order in
which they will be completed. Administrator Herman clarified
that the projects are not required to be completed in the listed
order. Staff will present an annual plan based on available
sales tax revenue, project readiness, and which projects make
the most sense to move forward at that time. Council will
approve the plans and related expenditures through the
normal budget process.
7. Councilmember Campbell asked whether the previous park
survey was conducted before the current project and tax
referendum were developed. Administrator Herman confirmed
that it was and explained that the survey focused primarily on
residents’ interest in recreational amenities rather than
comparing those projects against infrastructure needs.
Councilmember Campbell characterized the survey as more
preference-based than technical, while Administrator Herman
clarified that it was technically structured but did not provide a
true prioritization of projects or account for other needs such
as parking, roads, and infrastructure.
8. Councilmember Guarniero asked whether projects listed
could still be pursued through other funding sources, such as
grants. Administrator Herman confirmed that being included
on the list does not prevent the City from pursuing separate
funding opportunities for those projects.
9. Councilmember Lane seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously.
iii. Councilmember Bumgarner seconded the motion, which carried 8 to 1.
b. Planning and Zoning Director Jay Martin presented the retention pond project,
explaining that it would provide stormwater and erosion control for the

surrounding sub-watershed, including the park and nearby properties. The
project would support future development by consolidating stormwater
management into one system rather than requiring multiple detention ponds. It
would also allow the existing stormwater pond in the park to be removed,
creating additional space for future recreational uses. The new retention pond
would be designed as a park amenity, with a walking path around it, picnic
areas, and passive recreation green spaces.
i. Councilmember Bumgarner emphasized that the retention pond project
serves an important stormwater management function, while also
providing recreational benefits. He clarified that the project is not simply
an aesthetic improvement or an effort to remove trees and add a
sidewalk, but addresses a broader stormwater issue affecting the area,
including DHEC requirements and future economic development.
ii. Councilmember James asked whether the concepts shown for the
proposed projects could be adjusted during the final design process. She
specifically raised concerns about the Trailblazer Park parking project,
noting that the current concept appears to remove the existing walking
track. She also asked whether the project could instead maintain the
track and preserve the area as a multi-purpose field that could
accommodate event parking when needed. Director Martin confirmed
that the Trailblazer Park project could be modified to preserve the
existing walking track while creating a multi-purpose surface that could
support both recreation and event parking. He explained that the
proposed project budget could accommodate this type of design change.
More broadly, he clarified that while the 29 projects and their approved
costs will remain the same, the implementation and design can be
adjusted as projects move forward, as long as changes remain within the
approved project scope, location, budget, and intended purpose.
iii. Councilmember Bumgarner and Director Martin both clarified that all of
the proposed projects are currently conceptual, and none are considered
shovel ready, and designs and permits have not yet been completed.
Director Martin explained that each project budget includes funding for
design and construction administration, allowing the City to refine the
concepts as the projects move forward. The City can make changes that
improve the projects and community benefits, as long as they remain
within the approved project scope and budget.

iv. Councilmember Guarniero noted that she has received numerous
comments from residents questioning why road resurfacing and
improvements are not a higher priority among the proposed projects.
1. Administrator Herman explained that the City did consider
road resurfacing as part of the project planning process.
However, based on discussions with Council and residents,
the current priority was to establish essential infrastructure
within the City’s two major park systems, including roads,
parking, and sidewalk connectivity. Travelers Rest has a
smaller road inventory than some comparable municipalities,
and much of the City’s roadway network consists of relatively
newer roads that have been recently paved or constructed.
c. Mayor Amidon made a motion to amend the referendum question to reflect the
corrected funding totals for the November ballot. The amendment was
described as a cleanup to ensure the funding amounts were accurately
reflected, with adjustments made between categories. The proposed totals
were $3,942,000 for connectors, trails, and sidewalks; $2,613,500 for public
parking infrastructure; $4,958,500 for public assembly infrastructure;
$3,062,000 for critical roadway repairs; and $1,250,000 for drainage
infrastructure.
i. Mayor Amidon clarified that two amendments are now attached to the
original project sales tax referendum ordinance and noted that, if
approved, sales tax collections are expected to begin in May 2027.
ii. Councilmember Byers asked when the City could expect to begin the first
project. Administrator Herman explained that the City is still awaiting
confirmation from the Department of Revenue on whether the sales tax
revenue will be remitted monthly or quarterly. Once funds begin
accumulating, the City could potentially begin the first project, with staff
developing a project timeline as part of the upcoming budget process.
Herman estimated that approximately $1.6 million in revenue could be
available during the first full annual collection cycle.
iii. Councilmember Bumgarner seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously.
3. Adjournment
a. Mayor Amidon made a motion to adjourn. Councilmember Guarniero seconded
the motion. The motion to adjourn passed unanimously at 5:30 p.m.

Council Meeting held on July 14, 2026. Councilmember Bumgarner
motioned to approve. Councilmember Marrah seconded the motion, which
carried unanimously.
4. Citizen Participation
a. Anne Huyler

i. Citizen Anne Huyler, an Urban Forestry Specialist with the South
Carolina Forestry Commission, explained that her office assists
municipalities with tree management and provides access to several
urban forestry grants, including four programs that are available at no
cost to participating cities: tree canopy mapping, ecosystem benefits
modeling, tree ordinance audits, and tree planting plans. She noted
that other grants, such as tree inventories, operate on an 80/20
reimbursement basis. Huyler also discussed the requirements for
becoming a Tree City USA, including having a public tree ordinance, a
designated tree board or responsible staff member, spending at least
$2 per capita on trees, and celebrating Arbor Day. She encouraged
Travelers Rest to pursue the designation, noting that the City may
already be doing much of the required work, and offered to assist
with tree inspections, grant applications, tree species selection, and
other urban forestry needs.
ii. Councilmember Bumgarner asked whether Travelers Rest had
previously been designated a Tree City USA and whether the City had
lost that designation. Anne explained that the designation must be
renewed annually, and that it is fairly common for cities to lose the
recognition if they do not reapply or meet the annual requirements.
b. Roger Sneed
i. Citizen Roger Sneed expressed strong opposition to the City’s use of
Flock and Axon ALPR camera systems, arguing that they infringe on
constitutional rights and pose a threat to citizens’ privacy and
security. He cited reported instances of law enforcement officers
misusing ALPR systems and cases where camera errors allegedly led
to people being wrongly accused or arrested. Sneed urged City
Council to discontinue its Flock contract, avoid entering contracts
with other surveillance companies, and consider following Oconee
County’s example of banning the technology.

10. Miscellaneous Matters
a. City Administrator Shannon Herman gave an update on the following items:
i. The SCDOT is resurfacing Main Street earlier than scheduled, and the
City plans to use the opportunity to explore extending the existing
road diet approximately 800 feet north from Poinsett through the
McElhaney/Main/Center intersection to improve pedestrian safety
and support downtown businesses. The road will initially be
resurfaced with temporary four-lane markings while DOT develops
the road-diet design, and the City holds public meetings for
community input. The project is expected to take approximately 35–
50 days. DOT will also improve pedestrian safety by adding highresolution markings to the diagonal crossing, relocating a
problematic Main Street crosswalk to improve visibility, and installing
pedestrian signals and flashing lights at crossings on Main Street and
South Main Street.
ii. Both lanes of Poinsett Highway are now open for travel, but some
project work remains, including installation of the Poinsett

crosswalk, punch-list items, landscaping cleanup, and Phase 2 solar
lights. MetroConnects is coordinating with DOT on a night work plan
from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. to complete necessary fixes with minimal
disruption.
iii. The special election runoff will be held Tuesday at City Hall.
iv. Beth has reinitiated Movies in the Park, which will be held once a
month during October, November, and December, with the fall
schedule allowing movies to start and end earlier.
v. Council was encouraged to visit the City’s new economic
development webpage, which features high-quality data and
resources for businesses interested in locating in Travelers Rest.
vi. Mayor Amidon thanked Shannon for quickly responding to DOT’s
unexpected Main Street resurfacing work, coordinating with DOT, and
taking advantage of the opportunity to explore improvements to Main
Street.
vii. Mayor Amidon praised the Police Department for their
professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to Travelers Rest and its
residents during the recent accreditation interviews.
viii.
Over 80 North Greenville University students volunteered to
pick up trash throughout the community, collecting approximately 80
bags of litter and demonstrating strong community involvement and
support.
ix. Councilmember Criss praised the new economic development
webpage for clearly highlighting the City’s assets, explaining how to
start a business, and demonstrating why Travelers Rest is a strong
location for businesses.
x. Councilmember Byers asked about the Flock camera that was
recently stolen, and Administrator Herman stated that the incident
remains under investigation.
xi. Councilmember Lane asked where the funding for the Main Street
repaving was coming from. Administrator Herman clarified that DOT
is funding the project and it is not a City expense.

xii. Councilmember Guarniero asked who is responsible for maintaining
and watering the landscaping between the sidewalk and road along
North Poinsett. Administrator Herman explained that the contractor
is responsible during construction, including cleanup and weeding
as part of the punch list. After construction, the City will be
responsible for maintaining the plantings, although the area remains
within the state’s right-of-way. Councilmember Guarniero clarified
whether the landscaping maintenance would be the responsibility of
the nearby business owners. Administrator Herman confirmed that
the City will handle the maintenance, with a contractor already
planned to maintain the City’s various planting areas. Businesses
may volunteer to help if they wish.

xiii.
Councilmember Bumgarner asked about changes to the Main
Street striping and crosswalk locations. Administrator Herman
explained that the existing crosswalks will be milled and replaced
without the brick-style treatment. One crosswalk near the
accounting firm will be relocated to a safer location between White
Rabbit Gallery and Swamp Rabbit Brewery/Shortfields. The
crosswalk near the gazebo will also be relocated to the Pinestone
sidewalk connection and will include flashing pedestrian signals on
both sides for improved visibility.
1. Councilmember Bumgarner asked whether the State would
handle the concrete work. Administrator Herman
confirmed that DOT will be responsible for the concrete
work and handle the curb and curb milling work. Any new or
relocated crosswalks will include proper ADA-accessible
curb ramps, while curbs at removed crosswalks will be
restored.
xiv.
Administrator Herman clarified that the permanent highresolution crosswalk paint will not be installed until after the road
design is finalized and public meetings and comment sessions are
completed. She also emphasized that SCDOT has final authority over
crosswalk locations and designs on these state-maintained roads,
although the City is able to provide input.

12. Adjournment
a. Councilmember Bumgarner made a motion to adjourn. Councilmember
Lane seconded the motion. The motion to adjourn passed unanimously at
6:32 p.m.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT

THIS INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT made and entered into this the
_________ day of ____________________, 20____ by and between Greater Greenville
Sanitation District (hereinafter referred to as “GGSD”) and the City of Travelers Rest
(hereinafter referred to as “the City”),
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, GGSD is a special purpose district created by the South Carolina
General Assembly for the purpose of collecting and disposing of solid waste, and
WHEREAS, the City is a municipality of the State of South Carolina located in
Greenville County, and
WHEREAS, each party finds that it is in the best interests of itself and its
residents to enter into this Agreement,
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the best interests of GGSD and the City
and other consideration set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
1. DUTIES OF GGSD: Beginning July 1, 2026, GGSD shall provide one gray
96-gallon roll cart for garbage collection in accordance with a list set forth on
Exhibit A. GGSD shall service the 96-gallon roll cart for garbage service on a
weekly basis. GGSD shall dispose of the solid waste collected from the City in
accordance with its standard practices and in compliance with all applicable
laws. GGSD will provide collection of leaves and yard waste material on a
weekly basis. GGSD will also provide services to commercial customers as
requested by the City and submitted on the attached Exhibit A (Periodic
Amendment to Intergovernmental Agreement).
2. DUTIES OF THE CITY: The City shall pay GGSD the sum of $15.25 per
designated business or residence per month beginning July 1, 2026 and on the
first of each month thereafter. The City agrees to notify GGSD if additional 96
gallon roll carts are needed as new businesses or residences request service and
if additional carts are needed for business or residences, and until July 1, 2027
to pay $15.25 per month for the additional businesses or residences and
additional carts per month beginning the month after service is started. In
addition, the City will pay for all disposal fees for garbage, recycling, leaves
and yard waste material at the City’s designated disposal facilities. The
monthly fee will adjust annually based on the attached schedule.

3. ADJUSTMENT OF FEES. As governmental entities of the State of South
Carolina both parties have similar benefits and requirements; for example,
both can buy fuel under a State contract and both must contribute to the State
retirement fund. The parties shall negotiate annually between May 15 and
June 30 to address increased costs which affect both parties. Any increase or
change to the amount owed for services under this Agreement must be in
writing, signed by both parties, and incorporated into this Agreement by
reference. However, fluctuations of fuel costs and the resulting expense
adjustments do not have to be in a separate written agreement by the parties.
Accordingly, for every twenty-five (25) cent increase in fuel cost, the City
agrees to pay an additional five (5) cents per customer serviced. The base fuel
cost for determining increases will be $2.00/gallon. The price on the last day
of the currently billed month will determine the fuel surcharge billed for
collection. GGSC and the City are in zone 1 and the “Transport” price under
the ULTRA LOW SULFUR DIESEL will be used. Daily ULSD/BIO prices
are posted daily on the SC Procurement website at http://procurement.sc.gov.
All fees and payments owed by the City to GGSC will be billed monthly in
arrears by GGSD.
4. LIABILITY AND INSURANCE. Each party shall maintain insurance necessary to
cover its operations. Liability issues between the parties will be governed by South
Carolina law.
5. TERM. This Agreement shall begin on _________ and continue for a period of
three (3) years. It may be renewed thereafter on an annual basis under terms and
conditions negotiated at the time of renewal.
6. TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated under the following
circumstances:
a. If the City fails to pay in full for the services of GGSD, GGSD may cancel
this Agreement after giving 60 days written notice to the City.
b. If the City determines that GGSD is not meeting its responsibilities as defined
in this Agreement, it may cancel this Agreement by giving 60 days written
notice to GGSD but the City shall notify GGSD of any shortcomings and
grant GGSC a reasonable time, not to exceed thirty (30) days, to cure before
exercising this right.
c. Either party may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party six (6)
months’ written notice
d. Both parties are responsible for services and payment for those services under
this Agreement until the effective date of termination.

7. NOTICE. Any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, or communication that
either party desires or is required to give to the other party shall be in writing and either
served personally or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to remain void and unenforceable, the
remaining terms shall be valid and binding.

to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, and legal
representatives.
