REGULAR MEETING October 13, 2025 Page 3 of 6 b. DISCUSSION/ACTION – Related to Pop’s Sanitation Lease and Old Library: • Council member Pleas reported that renovations had begun on the old library, which addressed one of her concerns. She also expressed that the fee being charged to Plantation Landscaping for their 5-acre lease ($1,000) seemed too low, especially considering the town's budget needs. • Mayor Kornegay asked if there had been any updates from Pop's Sanitation since the last meeting. Town Clerk Reams indicated they received monthly deposits but no other communications. Council member Pleas noted that Pop's Sanitation does employ 2-3 people from Greenville. • Discussion revealed that Pop's Sanitation has a 5-year lease with a potential renewal clause. Mayor Kornegay requested that the clerk email a copy of the lease for review, and the council agreed to revisit this item at a future meeting after reviewing the terms of the lease. 10.

REGULAR MEETING October 13, 2025 Page 4 of 6 b. DISSCUSSION/ACTION: Related to Water Tank Cellular Antennas – Town Attorney John Reid & Jeannie Pound Wireless Landlord Funding LLC • Town Attorney John Reid and Jeannie Pound from Wireless Landlord Funding LLC presented information about a proposal regarding the town's water tower cellular antennas. • Attorney Reid explained that the town has an existing lease from 2001 with T- Mobile (originally Powertel Jacksonville Inc.) for antenna space on the water tower. The current lease brings $26,235.09 annually to the town. The lease has gone through several extensions and is set to end on July 31, 2026, after which it would continue year-to-year automatically under the existing terms. • Ms. Pound explained that investor companies like Wireless Landlord Funding purchase these lease agreements to bundle them as investment vehicles, similar to mortgage-backed securities. She presented two options: 1. A 50-year term easement for $498,000 2. A 99-year term easement for $525,000 (effectively perpetual) • Under either option, the company would take over the landlord position and receive all future rents, though the town would retain responsibility for maintaining the water tower structure. • Council members asked several questions: Council member Livingston asked whether the current lease terms with T- Mobile prevent other carriers from using the tower Mayor Kornegay expressed concern about potential impacts on grants the town has received for water system improvements • Given the complexity and significance of the proposal, Mayor Kornegay suggested holding a workshop to discuss the matter in greater detail. He also requested that Ms. Pound provide contact information for other towns that have completed similar transactions (specifically Sneads) for reference. • Council members agreed to schedule a workshop, with Town Clerk Reams to coordinate the date. c. DISCUSSION/ACTION: Related to RFP Evaluation Committee for FDACS Grant: Attorney John Reid • Town Attorney John Reid explained that the town needs to establish a three- member committee to evaluate proposals for three vendor positions (compliance specialist, project manager, and engineer) required for the $750,000 Florida

REGULAR MEETING October 13, 2025 Page 5 of 6 Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services grant.

He explained that while the Town of Greenville had been referred to the committee for deficiencies in its recent audit, the town had already submitted documentation addressing these issues in August. The committee staff indicated the town likely should not have been on the list and would probably not need to submit additional documentation.

REGULAR MEETING October 13, 2025 Page 6 of 6 • Council member Pleas raised a concern about the council compensation decrease ordinance, questioning whether the charter allows for decreases to take effect immediately while increases must wait until after the next election. Attorney Reed clarified that the charter specifically states there are "no restrictions" on the amount council may decrease compensation, unlike increases which have timing restrictions • Vice Mayor Housh noted the upcoming election in November and said that it had been a pleasure serving with the council. • Mayor Kornegay expressed gratitude to council members, especially Vice Mayor House and Council member Dansey, for supporting recent community events with DSR Public Health Foundation. These events included: o A meeting with Florida Department of Commerce representatives about the Rebuild Florida program, which was attended by about 50 people o A food distribution event where over 70 boxes of food were provided to community members • He specifically acknowledged DSR for helping the town secure approximately $4 million in grants over the past year and a half without charging the town for their services.
