City Council Approves New Manager in Historic Vote

In a special City Council meeting held on August 22, 2024, in Hartyville, South Carolina, the council unanimously approved the appointment of a new city manager. The meeting commenced with a pledge of allegiance and a moment of silence for servicemen and women.

Mayor Harry Williams recognized the resolution, identified as 2024-8-22A, which authorized the mayor to execute the employment contract for the new city manager. Council members expressed satisfaction with the thorough selection process, facilitated by a top-tier search firm, and voiced confidence in the chosen candidate.

After a brief discussion, the council moved to a public comment period, which yielded no responses. The resolution was then put to a roll call vote, resulting in a unanimous approval from all five council members present.

Following the vote, the meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was also passed unanimously. Mayor Williams indicated he would address the press afterward, signaling the end of the formal proceedings.
