Greenville County Council Finance Committee voted three to two to approve two fee increases to fund improved communications and road maintenance.
The new ordinance would add a fee to each real estate parcel of $14.95 annually to lease, purchase, lease-purchase, or maintain county-wide public safety telecommunications network infrastructure.
In addition, the road maintenance fee would be amended to increase the fee to $25 per vehicle annually.
Voting in favor of the fee increase were Butch Kirven, Bob Taylor and Xanthene Norris. Voting in opposition, Sid Cates and Willis Meadows.
The ordinance will go to the full council for consideration at the next scheduled meeting which is Tuesday, February 21 at 6 p.m. at County Square.
