Greenville City Council approved several items on the consent and regular agendas, including a grant appropriation for police body armor and a development agreement for a downtown conference center.
An ordinance (item 15B) to appropriate $55,211 in the miscellaneous grants fund was approved to record an award from the Bureau of Justice Assistance Bulletproof Vest Partnership Program with matching funds from the Law Enforcement Special Revenue Fund to purchase body armor for the Greenville Police Department. "Any questions?" the chair asked; council moved and approved the item by roll call.
Council also authorized the city manager to execute an agreement with Ferman Company Development LLC for the Falls Park Conference Center development (item 16A). City Manager Shannon Lyron described the approval as "a huge step forward for the downtown conference center," and council approved the resolution.
The consent agenda was adopted as submitted. The transcript does not include a complete named vote tally for these items; staff will proceed with implementation steps appropriate to each item.
