Summary

The finance committee approved $7,500 toward a $9,000 drone project for the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office to support operations in southern Greenville County; the sheriff’s office will supplement the rest from its alcohol fund.

Greenville County’s Finance Committee approved a $7,500 community project award to the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office to purchase a drone to cover southern parts of the county.

Mr. Lambert presented the application and said the total project cost is $9,000; the committee’s $7,500 award would cover about 83% of the cost and the remaining $1,500 would come from the sheriff’s office alcohol fund. “This is an application for the Greenville County Sheriff's Office, for $7,500, and this is to fund a drone, to be kind of housed out of Southern Greenville County,” Lambert said.

Committee members moved and approved the request by voice vote; no roll-call tally appears in the transcript. County staff noted the county previously funded a similar drone for northern Greenville County and that this request will enhance coverage in the south.
