Council Approves Perpetual Easement and Transfers Municipal Election Authority for Two Towns
Summary
Charleston County Council passed third‑reading ordinances granting a perpetual easement to RC RM Family Limited Partnership and transferring municipal election authority for the towns of Meggett and Hollywood to the county board of voter registration and elections.
Charleston County Council approved several administrative ordinances on third reading during the meeting excerpt. An ordinance granting a nonexclusive perpetual easement to RC RM Family Limited Partnership over a portion of county property at 8099 Palmetto Commerce Parkway (tax parcel 3930000003) passed third reading with nine ayes on a roll‑call vote.
Council also approved ordinances accepting the complete transfer of authority to conduct municipal elections for the towns of Meggett and Hollywood to the Charleston County Board of Voter Registration and Elections. Both transfer ordinances passed on third reading by unanimous recorded roll calls (nine ayes each in the provided transcript excerpt).
Why it matters: The easement authorizes a long‑term property interest for a private partnership on county land and the election‑authority transfers consolidate municipal election administration for the two towns under county election officials. The measures were routine, passed by recorded roll calls, and will affect county property stewardship and administration of local municipal elections.
