Administrator's Notes and CommentsJune 9, 2009
Prepared by Russell B. Hawes City Administrator Stimulus Funding The Police Department has received targeted law enforcement stimulus monies totaling over $55,000. This funding is allocated to computer system improvements for the department including laptops and the dispatch radio system. These funds were received with the stipulation that they be expended immediately upon receipt. We have received notice from the federal government of another $13,000 to be distributed to the Simpsonville police in the coming weeks under the same program.
Davenport Road Project CoTransCo, which is the company we must use on this project, is still awaiting environmental approval on the Davenport Road project from DHEC. The bid process will begin as soon as they have that approval. This is taking longer than they expected because the review of C-Fund projects was recently taken over by DHEC from SCDOT. That pushed the construction start time frame back an estimated sixty days to September. CoTransCo continues to receive slope permissions from property owners.
Recycling The City public works department has placed drop off collection containers at two locations. The container has segregated bins for, paper, plastics, aluminum and glass. Public Works is emptying these on a weekly basis compared to the County’s biweekly or monthly cycle. Amphitheater Events Preparations continue for the Movie Series set to begin July 7 th and run Tuesday evenings through August 11 th . Also, the Greenville Symphony Orchestra will again perform July 4 th at Independence Day at the Park. Tickets are moving briskly for the Styx , REO Speedwagon, .38 Special concert June 20 th . We have just announced that Bob Dylan, John Mellancamp, and Willie Nelson will be performing at the amphitheater July 29 th . This is a trifecta of rock and roll and pop culture legends.
Event Information• Next meeting of City Council is our Workshop meeting June 23 rd .
