Public safety committee approves emergency management grant, community contributions
Summary
The Horry County Public Safety Committee approved acceptance of an $80,972 2025 local emergency management performance grant (50/50 match) and authorized three community contributions totaling $19,000 for school and nonprofit programs, all by voice vote.
The Horry County Public Safety Committee on Aug. 12 approved acceptance of an $80,972 2025 Local Emergency Management Performance Grant and authorized several community contributions to local school and nonprofit programs.
A staff presenter asked the committee to accept the emergency management grant, saying the award is $80,972 and requires a 50/50 match that the county will meet with income sources “so there's no out of pocket money from the county.” The committee moved and approved the resolution by voice vote.
Separately, the committee approved three contributions presented by staff: $5,000 for Saugustee High School’s tennis program for court maintenance and equipment, $7,000 for Sunshine Recovery Ministries to support entry fees for treatment program participants, and $7,000 for Traveling Apostles for Christ Corporation to fund outreach to low-income and homeless individuals. Motions to approve those contributions were moved, seconded and passed by voice vote.
Committee members did not record a formal roll-call tally in the discussion; minutes reflect motions made, seconds and affirmative voice votes. The chair announced each motion carried.
What happens next: Staff will complete grant acceptance paperwork for the emergency management grant and administer the approved community contributions through the appropriate county disbursement processes. No new county general-fund outlay was reported for the emergency grant because the match will be met with income sources, per the presenter.
