Flick said the town has been coordinating with Charleston County on repairs that require county work and that a biweekly meeting with county staff was canceled recently for end-of-fiscal-year reasons. She reported ongoing ditch and culvert cleaning across several neighborhoods (Fort Johnson Estates, Mount Vernon, Chandler and Pauline) and replacement of two driveway aprons where pipes were also replaced.

The town participated in a vacuum-truck demonstration and expects a smaller vac truck model that does not require a commercial driver's license to become available for local purchase. Paving began on Green Veil Road in June. Flick also reminded residents of a Hurricane Awareness Expo with county partners and that the town will staff a booth at the event.

No formal council action was required for the public works update; Flick answered questions from council members and staff recorded follow-up items for coordination with Charleston County.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","James Island - Town Council - Jun 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Public Works Director Melissa Flick reported completion of Woodhaven, ongoing stabilization at Ocean View, required slip-lining at Quail Run and the start of paving on Green Veil Road.","taxTitle","James Island, Charleston County, South Carolina","taxId",70277,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6514402,"James Island pre-construction meeting draws bids for new art and community center; community events scheduled",182,1868000,2050000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5030957-901f0558913f98987e744fc1c15bd670&start=1868&end=2050","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5030957-901f0558913f98987e744fc1c15bd670/thumbnail_1868000.jpg","/articles/6514402/James-Island/Charleston-County/South-Carolina/James-Island-pre-construction-meeting-draws-bids-for-new-art-and-community-center-community-events-scheduled","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514402-bba061b5c5b8bf8f3631bb1ba2ff35b4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183845&Signature=BFpHiJBHD9~qp7oLUhnxZP0ogT0XxVBQd1azl4KJ5VEztwdteNrstZ75votUYg3SOujuSi~j02RymXNorVMGqMzVxvPkx~zqSGsJnY7UEEL~53~UKEgYo24YGbVMNjC5ezt6eTx2XqHRPVhp0pmLhD3KKA75C7w~CNyDzm~NyxZm3r2~II3ikgvsTHQZVykbtK5PtVS6WhAhadLtj23ubwWEKpn4xHrPdNNh1~71mUo2UdjTIyUS0AU6mrTvgTzOn3wTYyjnorrv2UW5AK1~m3Y1UQhQeug6hW4i8X8O6hx1CwyPQP6qiv0PJ6fybT4Q1jOxJU6OYu9CBejgbMILMw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town staff reported that a pre-construction meeting for the new James Island art and community center was well attended, with more than 40 people and roughly a dozen to 15 companies expressing interest in bidding.

Council members also highlighted several upcoming community events: a flagpole dedication on Folly Road with a ceremony scheduled for Thursday at 11:00 a.m., a Hurricane Awareness Expo at Lowe's on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the town market (reported to have drawn roughly 500 people during its recent occurrence). Town staff and volunteers plan to staff information booths at community events.

There were no formal votes tied to the pre-construction update or the events announcements; council members encouraged public attendance and noted next steps for procurement as questions and bids proceed.

\"We solved the case,\" Lieutenant James told the council, describing an investigation into burglaries at a Take 5 Oil Change location. He said the suspect was located in Houston after detectives reviewed tag-reader data and coordinated with other jurisdictions.

The deputy reported damage to a gate at Pinckney Park at 461 Fort Johnson Road; no suspects were identified at the meeting. Deputies also described repeated incidents involving off-road dirt bikes on local streets and said the department has resumed targeted, safety-conscious pursuits in certain circumstances after a prior policy of non-pursuit.

The patrol demonstrated a new mobile traffic device described as a \"stealth stat\" placed temporarily on Seaside to collect vehicle counts, sizes and speeds. The device, the deputy said, can distinguish large vehicles and provide live data to help identify problem times or locations.

Lieutenant James also recounted a nonvenomous rat snake removal led by Deputy Chris King and noted that violent crime remained generally low; he referenced an isolated homicide that occurred on Ferguson Road in the city jurisdiction and said a suspect had been arrested in that case.

The lieutenant closed by noting staff coverage and that he would be away for a scheduled retreat next month.

No formal council action was taken on the patrol updates during the meeting, but deputies described operational changes and tools that they said will be used to address recurring complaints.","At the town council meeting, the Island Sheriff's patrol reported a series of local incidents including the solved Take 5 Oil Change burglary, damage at Pinckney Park and renewed enforcement of dirt bikes using a new mobile \"stealth stat\" device.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6514410,"James Island council adopts FY 2025–26 budget; planning fee schedule tabled",219,1732000,1951000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5030957-901f0558913f98987e744fc1c15bd670&start=1732&end=1951","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5030957-901f0558913f98987e744fc1c15bd670/thumbnail_1732000.jpg","/articles/6514410/James-Island/Charleston-County/South-Carolina/James-Island-council-adopts-FY-202526-budget-planning-fee-schedule-tabled","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6514410-9d8c2dae09a091c0b5a080fd678e46fe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183845&Signature=QhnN7eAyZDZnlwlrTWUQZX2dksp6aRzglWS0cA45xMVR5pKeO6N3VStZTnLIZZFvviHi3fP73ywxHILycITF~zYRTVdl2zFoMyINIAxDEVlJ5n3MITmYFn8Ujspbo6OoFOwHXL6vvw3~kjLR~NOWfTmFPBN3-7qRqBvrlGwecAY3mubpSS8bJaD~lZt15j9CUE8xCX5xaIVNpEO01N9CjnttqmsdUPnHzmT-jzO-LspAxqX4Dkd-Wj-WntcFRZuqHKeTF3aPPFFdfqLr-x99nPNSQyn7rX18Pwreh5hKXQf-2tBLOrnEJAWyEdoqr4YueNjTRzsswuHPrOA3T3hYnA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of James Island council unanimously adopted the town's fiscal year 2025
nd'026 budget at second reading on Thursday, the council announced, and postponed consideration of an updated planning and zoning fee schedule until next month.

The budget passed on a roll-call vote at second reading as Ordinance 2025-O-4 after a motion and second; council members recorded their votes by voice. Councilman Mullenax was excused for a family wedding and did not participate in the vote. Council members did not identify the motion's maker or seconder on the record.

The planning and zoning fee schedule, listed as Ordinance 2025-O-5 for a second reading, was tabled after the council discovered that a required public hearing had been omitted from the agenda. The mayor moved to table the ordinance until July so the public hearing can be advertised and the item placed properly on the agenda; the motion carried.

Public comment at the meeting included a statement from Marilyn Clifford, who identified herself as a resident of James Island and urged the council to be more transparent about notices and agenda timing. Clifford also referenced the upcoming budget and said she opposed removing a town cost-sharing/tax-credit authority; she urged clearer, timelier public notices.

The council completed its roll call and adjourned to an executive session later in the meeting; officials returned and announced no votes were taken in executive session.
