CHERAW – During the Oct. 13 Cheraw Town Council meeting, Cheraw Town Administrator, Bill Taylor presented a recommendation to Mayor Scott Hunter and Council members to accept a resolution opposing the U.S. Postal Service efforts in consolidating its services from the old post office facility on Market Street, to the Cheraw Carrier Annex facility on Hwy. 9. Council members unanimously accepted and passed the resolution. Recently, U.S. Postal representatives from Columbia hosted a public meeting regarding the proposed project, which allowed the citizens of Cheraw an opportunity to voice their concerns on the matter. Over 100 concerned citizens showed up to voice their opinions in a plea to keep the old post office on Market Street in place. During the Oct. 7 Postal Service public meeting held at the Cheraw Community Center, S.C. Ted Vick said that he and other town officials would take the matter all the way to Washington, D.C., if necessary, in order to save the old post office. A tentative date for that trip is scheduled, according to Vick. In other business: Council also unanimously passed a resolution for the Local Option Sales Tax Credit Factor for the fiscal year ending in June 2010, which, means an annual tax credit of $22.12 per each $10,000 in appraised value of real and personal property. Due to the fact that the town's rental uniform contract is set to end in December of his year, five rental uniform companies were sent bid specifications and four companies' submitted proposals. A committee was formed of those departments that use rental uniforms. The bid was awarded to Rental Uniforms, Florence, S.C. in the amount of $177.53.
