Gibson County commissioners approve action to resolve two crossings after pavement dispute

An item addressing two road crossings on the Gibson County line passed after commissioners discussed recent repaving and missing bond paperwork.

Unidentified speakers described driving conditions on 'The Cobb' near the Gibson County–Horry County line and noted a stretch of pavement on the Gibson County side that one participant called 'brand new.' Speaker 3 said earlier paperwork around bond releases for the crossings was never properly submitted and staff were "tying up the loose ends of something that was already done." A motion and second were placed on the floor to resolve the crossings and associated paperwork; the chair called for the vote and the ayes carried.

Why it matters: the item involves county-maintained crossings and a referenced bond that, according to one participant, is "just the new bond for, like, $20,000." Commissioners asked staff to follow up and return with keys, paperwork and details for the two crossings so the county record can be completed.

What was decided: the motion on the crossings passed by voice vote. The transcript records the procedural steps — motion, second, and multiple "ayes" — but does not include the full text of the motion, a roll-call or a numeric vote tally.

What happens next: speakers said staff will provide follow-up on the two crossings and related bond paperwork; the meeting record indicates documents will be dropped off at the appropriate office for filing.
