The amendment would increase transfers from the general fund balance to cover three items: a replacement animal-control truck and outfitting, replacement handheld radios for building and codes/animal control, and immediate IT security/ firewall and server replacements.

Finance Director Nancy Grigsby told the council the amendment contains three parts. First, the city proposes to purchase a new Chevrolet Silverado 2500 configured for animal control and outfitted with a cooled bed mount unit, a Tommy lift gate, a four-corner strobe system, a rear warning stick, marking, steps and a truck radio for a total of $77,205. Grigsby said the city will fund the truck and radio from savings in the general operating fund balance.

Second, she said three handheld radios for building and codes/animal control were required because radios on loan from the police department will be obsolete after June 30; those radios would cost $19,499 and likewise would be purchased from the general fund balance.

Third, Grigsby said a neighboring municipality's recent network breach prompted the city to assess its cybersecurity needs. The city found its firewalls and one server required immediate replacement at a cost the finance director listed as $25,242 (the line-item later appears in materials as $25,243). Grigsby said the total emergency IT purchases would also be funded with general fund savings to protect FBI clearance status and other security requirements.

Council members questioned procurement details, including whether the truck was bought via state contract and whether more price comparisons had been done. One council member said the truck is available on a state contract (the finance director confirmed the vehicle was offered at a state-negotiated price and that a unit was available after another customer canceled). Council member McCrowley (recorded as voting nay on the introduction/first reading) said he believed the city should pursue more price comparisons for vehicles so the city could possibly obtain two new trucks rather than one new and one older vehicle.

The council first voted to hold a public hearing on the ordinance and then, after receiving public comments, voted to close the hearing and approve the ordinance's introduction and first reading. The roll-call vote to advance the ordinance recorded one nay (Council member McCrowley); all other members voting were recorded as aye.

If adopted in later readings, the ordinance would transfer the identified sums from the general operating fund balance into capital and IT line items as described by the finance director. The meeting record did not include executed purchase orders; the city indicated the purchases would proceed using fund-balance transfers and state contract pricing where applicable.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting Tuesday, March 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The council held a public hearing and approved the introduction and first reading of Ordinance 10-2024, a budget amendment that includes purchasing a new animal-control truck ($77,205), three handheld radios ($19,499) and IT/security upgrades (~$25,242).

Chief Gepard of the Hanahan Police Department presented the agreement, describing it as a reciprocal, no-cost arrangement that would allow the city to send personnel and equipment to assist aviation authority incidents and receive like assistance when requested.

\"It is free. It doesn't cost us anything other than manpower hours in the event they have a large scale catastrophe or emergency, and they request our assistance,\" Chief Gepard told the council. He said the agreement covers both equipment and personnel and follows the model of other mutual-aid pacts the department has entered.

Council members asked clarifying questions about the type of resources to be shared. A council member asked whether the arrangement covered fire trucks and EMS; Chief Gepard confirmed that it covers equipment and personnel.

A motion to approve the memorandum of understanding was made and seconded and passed by roll call. The council recorded ayes from Council member Crowley, Spurlock, Colton Shea, Sally, Dyson, Mayor Pro Tem Hedgepaugh and Mayor Christie Rainwater.

The public materials presented at the meeting did not include the full text of the final executed agreement; Chief Gepard said the arrangement follows previously established mutual-aid agreements and emphasized there would be no direct cost to the city beyond staff time.","Council approved a reciprocal mutual aid agreement with the Charleston County Aviation Authority to share equipment and personnel during large-scale emergencies at no direct cost beyond manpower hours.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6096200,"Hanahan council authorizes legal counsel to disclose information discussed in executive session",1804,28431,1833120,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2833639-6a42f0d3f30f48f0acdfbfbe45695944&start=28&end=1833","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2833639-6a42f0d3f30f48f0acdfbfbe45695944/thumbnail_28431.jpg","/articles/6096200/Hanahan/Berkeley-County/South-Carolina/Hanahan-council-authorizes-legal-counsel-to-disclose-information-discussed-in-executive-session","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6096200-dff4a40ea97989a7a27ff802e4ee6fc5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195345&Signature=jIlM339-7R~YObq2FZv-9ZJDqIB-bzisSiBpXF8lwU7mbWYtXmRECZfvAwoTa9lMg~seS2Kg1l~ia2h0oSFOxB6O3why85Lfo22WjBEQe35kli4ipd2hlkfM9khCsgnLVpRGXsIHcEOdRUNcuC~8iUQW25S0DONV9RzmmZDMNCWeLaBkCJVtSRklOr3EJ7W60EBMs6xw3MpZodEP0RC4C0JGVCftN6ZWtog~hdart1oKGzEH4n0xAu-70FoCUJoDKnjwPzMbW3lB6yiOQoTJ4lDDI-7RVN9TnSr3-qu64bm-0VbCVOkdKwHhG1~NKFXkFS50o~S1shGyd~q3oe6tcA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","HANAHAN, S.C. — The Hanahan City Council voted March 11 to authorize the city's legal counsel to disclose information discussed during a preceding executive session.

The motion, offered after the council returned to open session, said the authorization covered “the information as discussed in executive session, current information, or information that may be learned to the appropriate entities.” The council recorded a roll call and approved the motion.

Mayor Christie Rainwater presided when the vote was taken; Council members recorded as voting in favor included Council member Crowley, Colton Shea, Sally, Dyson and Mayor Pro Tem Hedgepaugh. Council member Spurlock was noted as absent for the vote. Allison (staff) conducted the roll calls during the transition from executive session to open session.

The council did not provide additional detail in open session about what information would be disclosed or to which outside parties, and no legal documents were presented at the public meeting. The motion authorizes the city attorney to make disclosures consistent with the scope discussed in the closed session.

No ordinance, contract or other public action tied to the executive session was included in materials presented to the council at the meeting. The authorization applies only to disclosure authority granted to the city's legal counsel; the council did not take any other formal action in open session related to the matters discussed in executive session.","After a closed executive session on March 11, the Hanahan City Council voted to authorize the city's legal counsel to disclose information discussed in that session to appropriate entities.","actionData","errors"]
