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.

After West Nile virus case reported, SC town to spray for mosquitoes: Where & when

A case of West Nile Virus was recently reported in Anderson County, prompting Anderson County Emergency Management to hire a company to spray for mosquitos. So far this year, South Carolina has had 30 cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control. California has had the most cases at 452. Gregory Pest Solutions will be spraying for mosquitos in a one-mile radius of Barnes Station Road and Manning Road in Iva late Friday, Nov. 13, depending on the weather. “The water-based pesticide used during spraying does not pose a health risk to humans or animals, however, beekeepers with hives in the area should arrange to relocate or cover hives until spraying is complete,” the Emergency Management Agency said. Earlier this year, the South Carolina Department of Public Health confirmed two outbreaks of West Nile virus. There were four cases in the Midlands and two in the Lowcountry. There were also two cases confirmed in Richland County in early August. A number of cities and counties have sprayed for mosquitoes this year including Myrtle Beach, Columbia, Charleston and Horry County. The Charleston program used aerial and truck-based spraying, along with catch basin treatments, after cases of West Nile virus were confirmed.

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.
