Recovering Main Street, Walhalla parking spaces
A committee of the Walhalla City Council directed the city administrator to approach SCDOT about restoring and re-striping a number of parallel parking spaces on Main Street. The request came before the council committee for streets, the result of a community meeting. Dave Poulson, city administrator, said DOT’s concurrence is required because Main Street remains state-maintained and the agency will be liable to insist on meeting current standards covering what can be striped as a legal parking spot. Because of the September fire that decimated a large part of one downtown block, parking spaces have been reduced. And last night, Councilwoman Lynn McClain called for better signage to alert motorists where they are welcome to park.

Seneca Approves Initial Budget Adjustment for City Administrator Severance Agreement
Seneca officials unanimously passed the initial reading of Ordinance 2026-24, expanding the fiscal year 2026–27 general fund revenue and expenditures by $193,170—drawn directly from municipal reserves—to accommodate payroll and benefit adjustments linked to City Administrator Scott Moulder’s $500,000 settlement package. This action follows a prior decision to advance Moulder’s contractual departure date from May 2029 to December 31, 2026, under an early retirement arrangement where the municipality will purchase credits through the South Carolina Public Employee Benefit Authority (PEBA) to grant him 28 years of service and disburse the remaining balance of the $500,000 as a severance payout in exchange for a liability release, pending final ordinance approval by the local governing body.
