1. Call to Order
a. Mayor Brandy Amidon called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
2. Public Works Committee
Members: Lisa Lane (Chair), Grant Bumgarner, and Sherry Marrah
a. Chair Lane called the meeting to order by roll call.
b. Chair Lane made a motion to approve the minutes from the Public Works
Committee meeting held on July 6, 2026. Committee Member Bumgarner
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
c. Public Works Director Tate noted the following items:
i. The North Poinsett Highway Project is nearing completion, with the
southbound lane expected to reopen this week after temporary striping is
completed.
ii. A glass recycling event is scheduled for September 12 from 9:00 a.m. to
noon, or until the equipment is full, at Gateway Park.
iii. The Pinestone Crosswalk installation began today, with concrete work on
the trail side scheduled for tomorrow.

iv. Staff have begun planning for fall plantings and will coordinate with a
contractor and local garden clubs to finalize and install the plantings.
v. Chair Bumgarner asked for an update on the diagonal crosswalk signal.
Director Tate stated that there had been a delay and that he would follow
up and provide an update.
vi. Councilmember James asked whether the paint for the diagonal
crosswalk had been completed. Director Tate confirmed that it was
completed properly, although Councilmember James noted that the
markings appeared faint.
vii. Mayor Amidon asked about the existing crosswalk at the gazebo. Director
Tate explained that it will be removed once the new Pinestone crossing is
completed, with DOT responsible for the new roadway signage and
markings. The existing curb and crosswalk infrastructure will be
demolished, with the markings likely painted over.
1. Councilmember Byers expressed concern that pedestrians
may continue crossing near the Dicey sculpture despite the
new crosswalk location. Director Tate noted that staff will work
to educate pedestrians to use the designated Pinestone
crossing for safety.
2. Mayor Amidon expressed concern about the visibility of the
diagonal crosswalk. Administrator Herman stated that staff
are working with an architecture firm and DOT to explore
adding white edging to the crosswalk to improve its visibility
while maintaining ADA requirements.
viii. Chair Bumgarner asked about the pedestrian sign at Poinsett Highway
and Chicora, which had been knocked down. Director Tate confirmed
that the sign was installed by SCDOT and has since been reinstalled,
noting that signs placed in the center of the roadway are susceptible to
being struck and damaged.
ix. Committee Member Lane asked whether the lanes would remain open
after reopening. Director Tate explained that there may be brief
temporary closures, likely for about a day, when crews return to
complete the final asphalt and striping.
d. Committee Member Marrah made a motion to adjourn. Committee Member
Bumgarner seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
3. Public Safety Committee

Members: Kelly Byers (Chair), Shaniece Criss, Lisa Lane, Sheryl Barbosa, and
Jon Campbell
a. Chair Byers called the meeting to order by roll call.
b. Committee Member Criss made a motion to approve the minutes of the
Public Safety Committee meeting on July 6, 2026. Committee Member Lane
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
c. A review of the Public Safety Committee reports from July was given.
i. Chief Ford noted the following:
1. He thanked City Council, City staff, the Fire Department, and
Police Department for their support in making National Night
Out a successful event.
2. It was announced that South Carolina State Assessors will be
at the department on August 19 and 20 as part of the
department’s accreditation process. The assessors are
currently reviewing records and will visit the department to
evaluate its facilities, equipment, and personnel.
3. Committee Member Barbosa asked about the recent increase
in activity at Walmart, and Chief Ford noted that several
factors could be contributing to the uptick and that staff would
continue to monitor the situation.
4. Committee Member Campbell asked about the part-time
Code Enforcement position, and Chief Ford reported that three
applications have been received, with interviews scheduled for
this week and Sergeant Lewis leading the interview panel.
ii. Chief McMakin noted the following:
1. Call volume and training levels remain normal, the department
is fully staffed, and a former employee with significant
experience has rejoined the department.
iii. Administrator Herman noted the following:
1. Building activity was slightly lower this month, with
approximately $19,000 in permit fees collected, following a
higher month due to the LEVA project, while several residential
construction projects are expected in the near future.
2. Committee Member Barbosa asked whether the City had
anticipated LEVA’s permit fees when preparing the budget,
and Administrator Herman confirmed that the revenue was
expected within the budget year regardless of whether it was
paid in full or throughout the year.

d. Chief Ford gave a presentation explaining the City’s Automated License Plate
Reader (ALPR) systems, including how they operate, how information is
used, and the safeguards in place. Major key points include:
i. ALPR cameras capture license plate images and compare them
against law-enforcement databases and designated hot lists to alert
officers about stolen vehicles, wanted persons, missing persons,
and other violations. Officers must verify alerts before taking action.
ii. The cameras provide license plate information only and do not
identify the driver, passengers, or vehicle owner. They do not use
facial recognition, collect cell phone data, or continuously track
individuals.
iii. Flock data available to Travelers Rest Police is retained for 30 days,
while Axon and Motorola systems allow longer retention periods. All
three systems are CJIS-compliant.
iv.
Officers are required to provide a case number and reason for
searches, and the systems include auditing capabilities to identify
potential misuse. Chief Ford reported that TRPD has found no cases
of misuse.
v.
ALPRs can be used as an investigative tool to develop leads after a
crime and can share information with participating lawenforcement agencies, including agencies outside the local area.
vi.
Chief Ford provided an example in which a stolen vehicle was
placed on a hot list and detected by cameras in Hendersonville,
leading to the vehicle being recovered and the suspect
apprehended before the stolen-vehicle information had synced with
the national database.
vii.
After the presentation, the following questions were asked by
Council and answered by Chief Ford and Administrator Herman:
1. How is misuse prevented and audited? Searches require a
valid case number and reason, and Flock flags unusual
activity. TRPD currently conducts annual internal audits and is
considering more frequent reviews.
2. Do the cameras use facial recognition or track people? No.
They capture license plates and vehicle images only; they do
not identify drivers, passengers, or faces.
3. How is the data stored and protected? Flock data is stored
securely in AWS GovCloud and is accessible for 30 days under

the City's current plan. TRPD has confirmed that older data is
no longer searchable.
4. How are ALPRs used in investigations? They provide
investigative leads, not proof of who committed a crime.
Officers must conduct additional investigation and establish
probable cause before taking further action.
5. Who can access the data? TRPD officers and dispatchers have
access, and the City shares data with other law enforcement
agencies that have permission. Private entities may use
cameras on their own property.
6. What happens if the system is misused? Misuse can result in
disciplinary action or termination and, when appropriate,
referral to SLED for criminal investigation.
7. What transparency is available? The City is considering posting
its ALPR policies online and linking them to Flock's
transparency portal, which shows information such as camera
locations and scan activity.
e. Committee Member Criss made a motion to adjourn. Committee Member
Barbosa seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
4. Planning & Development Committee
Members: Catherine James (Chair), Jon Campbell, Kelly Byers, Shaniece Criss,
and Grant Bumgarner
a. Chair James called the meeting to order by roll call.
b. Committee Member Criss made a motion to approve the minutes of the
Planning and Development Committee meeting on July 6, 2026 . Committee
Member Byers seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
c. Director Martin highlighted the following items:
i. Whitehawk Meadows Phase 1A is in the final paving stage and will be
removed from the active project list.
ii. Work has begun at Hemlock Park on the apartment side, and the
project is moving toward construction.
iii. The Pinestone project is still being coordinated with SCDOT, and staff
will follow up on completion dates and the anticipated construction
schedule.
iv. Phase 1 of the Dicey Langston Heritage Garden is nearing completion,
with masonry finished and irrigation and landscaping underway. The
Charters of Freedom dedication is scheduled for September 17.

v. Councilmember Barbosa asked about the status of the Pinestone
speed hump, and Director Martin said it is moving forward and is
awaiting contractor scheduling after determining that direct
installation was the most cost-effective option. Barbosa also asked
when the fencing around the Dicey Langston Heritage Garden would
be removed, and Martin confirmed that it would be removed before
September 17.
b. Summer Intern Aubrey Hume presented her Travelers Rest Walkability and
Pedestrian Safety Study, which evaluated the city’s existing sidewalk and
pedestrian network and identified gaps in connectivity and areas with higher
pedestrian safety risks. Her analysis found that many sidewalks are isolated
rather than connected, particularly in the northern and eastern parts of the
city, limiting independent mobility for children, older adults, and residents
without access to a vehicle. She also developed a pedestrian traffic-stress
analysis based on factors such as speed limits, road length, and roadway
design, highlighting several areas where walking can be particularly unsafe.
Hume emphasized that improving sidewalk connectivity and pedestrian
safety would support Travelers Rest’s recreational identity, improve access
to businesses and community spaces, reduce traffic congestion, and
contribute to economic and quality-of-life benefits. She also demonstrated
how several proposed projects could significantly improve the city’s overall
pedestrian network.
i. Committee Member Criss asked whether the Gold Line was included
in the sidewalk analysis even though it is a separate path, and Aubrey
explained that it was included as part of the pedestrian network and
improves connectivity for that neighborhood, which otherwise would
have had only one access route.
ii. Mayor Amidon asked Aubrey to explain the final slide showing the
proposed improvements and how the projects would improve
pedestrian connectivity and safety throughout the city. Aubrey
explained that the proposed design narrows the roadway and limits
drivers’ sightlines, encouraging them to slow down and pay closer
attention to their surroundings. She compared it to a road diet, noting
that while the same travel path remains available, the design
encourages safer and more conscious driving.
iii. Committee Member Bumgarner asked whether Aubrey had studied
where pedestrian fatalities occur across South Carolina, noting that
he wondered if a larger number might occur in coastal or beach areas

because of the higher volume of vehicles and visitors. Aubrey
explained that pedestrian fatalities are not publicly broken down by
county in enough detail to determine where they occur, although
Greenville County ranks relatively high in overall traffic fatalities. She
also noted that recreational data shows people frequently walk, run,
and bike on roads identified as unsafe in the study, demonstrating a
demand for safer pedestrian infrastructure.
iv. Committee Member Lane asked whether the study included an
assessment of the condition and safety of existing sidewalks,
particularly along Main Street, where many people feel the sidewalk is
unsafe. Aubrey explained that, due to the time and resources
available during her internship, she did not conduct a detailed
assessment of existing sidewalk conditions. She gave existing
sidewalks a general safety rating based on the assumption that
sidewalks provide a safe route but noted that a more detailed study
examining factors such as buffers, curbs, and other conditions would
be valuable to pursue in the future.
v. Councilmember Lane asked how Travelers Rest compares with other
municipalities of a similar size in terms of walkability and where the
City ranks. Aubrey explained that Travelers Rest ranks below average
but cautioned that the EPA’s methodology is not necessarily a fair
comparison for small towns because its scoring relies heavily on
population density and census-based data rather than the actual
condition and connectivity of pedestrian infrastructure.
vi. Councilmember Lane raised a concern that some pedestrians may
avoid the Swamp Rabbit Trail because of the perceived danger from
cyclists traveling at high speeds. The trail is a shared-use path with a
20-mph bicycle speed limit, and trail guidance encourages cyclists to
slow down around other users and yield to pedestrians. Administrator
Herman explained that the Swamp Rabbit Trail is a Greenville County
amenity, so the City of Travelers Rest does not control its operation or
policies, even where the trail runs within city limits. She noted that the
trail is designed as a multimodal facility intended to accommodate
both pedestrians and faster-moving cyclists, which is why it is wider
than a typical pedestrian sidewalk. She acknowledged that the
experience could vary depending on how well cyclists and
pedestrians share the trail and communicate with one another.

vii. Administrator Herman explained that the City currently has a
sidewalk and road inventory study underway with Alliance
Engineering. The study is funded through the City’s annual County
remittance for traffic improvements and is expected to be completed
within the next month or two. It will evaluate every sidewalk and road
within the city limits, including those owned by the City, County, and
State, providing data that will help the City prioritize future
infrastructure investments and identify neighborhoods that should be
targeted first for improved connections to the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The
study was initiated before the proposed municipal tax relief
opportunity but will provide valuable data for determining future
projects.
d. Chair James made a motion to adjourn. Committee Member Bumgarner
seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
5. 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. Committee Member James made a motion to approve the Ways and Means

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

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
