Horry County Council honors long-serving staff, approves several ordinances and a dance-team resolution
Summary
At the council meeting, members recognized two sheriff's-office employees for 35 years of service, adopted resolution R137-2025 honoring the Premier School of Dance, and approved multiple ordinances (including rezoning requests) by voice vote with no public comment recorded.
Horry County Council used its consent and regular agendas to recognize long-serving employees, honor a local dance team and approve several ordinances without objection.
Council recognized Jeanette Faulk and Chief Deputy Tom Fox for 35 years of service to the Horry County Sheriff's Office. Speakers praised both employees for dedication to their roles at J. Reuben Long Detention Center and in county law enforcement and invited them to address the chamber briefly.
Councilmember DeSovada introduced Resolution R137-2025 honoring Caitlin Gessford's Premier School of Dance and its competition team for multiple awards at regional and national competitions; the resolution was moved, seconded and approved, and team members came to the dais for photographs.
On the consent and regular agenda the council moved and approved several ordinances by voice vote with no public speakers recorded: Ordinance 92-2025 (agent G3 Engineering for Normandy Corporation and Creek Associates), Ordinance 95-2025 (Brian Pearson et al.), Ordinance 96-2025 (Raquela Chonta Bell), and Ordinance 97-2025 (Ochsner and Stacy law firm, agent for Georgetown Memorial Hospital). In each case a councilmember moved, another seconded, and the ayes were recorded with no opposition noted.
Councilmembers also read a series of memorial dedications naming local residents and community members for remembrance. The chair reminded the public about upcoming meetings, including a fall planning retreat on November 4 and the next council meeting on November 18, and stated there would be no executive session that night before adjourning.
Why it matters: The actions reflect routine approvals of zoning- and land-use-related requests and community recognitions. Multiple unanimous voice votes indicate limited debate on those ordinances at this meeting.
What happens next: Deferred items (paragraph 16) were rescheduled for the Nov. 18 meeting; records of the adopted ordinances and the resolution will be filed in county records.
