Back from lunch at #umcsc2023 and have heard a budget presentation and now on some resolutions. One on gun violence now before us. Voting on an amendment right now.

[Phillip Stone @stonerp]

Or #umcsc2023. Not sure what hashtag we are using!

[Phillip Stone @stonerp]

Underway with opening worship at #scac23 though the Wi-Fi is being glitchy. Bishop reminding us that we are stronger at the broken places and that we should stop trying to be so perfect.

A few items of routine business requiring council approval. Transferring a special property tax assessment on the Northside and approving a property donation in Highland. Approved. #sptbggov

[Phillip Stone @stonerp]

Consent agenda adopted which approves prohibiting firearm discharging in the city. #sptbggov

[Phillip Stone @stonerp]

At city council in person for the first time in a while. No public comment, hearing about the community health improvement plan. Redistricting hearing later. #sptbggov

It's #AskAnArchivist day - what questions can this archivist answer for you? @woffordcollege

Today a woman with developmental disabilities came into the library, and said she was lost. She didn't know her address, but her phone number was in her pocket on a piece of paper with Elmo on it. She kept saying, "The library is a safe place."

@JoeRJames3 I get emails addressed to "Stone" every now and then.

[PAL @palspartanburg]

We are THRILLED to share that PAL and @Spartanburg_Co have been awarded a USDOT RAISE grant for $23.8M to support 15 new miles of The Dan Trail System, a 55+ mile network made of existing and proposed trail segments that cross the urban area of the County. https://t.co/0H0X85ABxP

If you're already eating at these places, why not sign up - and if you aren't maybe try one out. #OneSpartanburg https://t.co/fEDV28Q0Vv

@HJDustin_Wyatt If it is getting any incentives then those would be in a development agreement that city council would need to approve. But the design is under DRB's purview.

[Phillip Stone @stonerp]

@HJDustin_Wyatt Sorry, its. Autocorrect.

[Phillip Stone @stonerp]

@HJDustin_Wyatt DRB has a mix of professional architects as well as citizen reps. And it's rulings generally don't go to city council. It's quasi-judicial.

[Phillip Stone @stonerp]

I miss going places! But we do have a great airport. #OneSpartanburg https://t.co/MTVgPpWTLS

@HJDustin_Wyatt My Charleston sister suggests it might be Harris Teeter. Says the ones in Charleston have pizza bars, hot food, some have Starbucks. We used to have HT here and I loved them.
