Votes at a glance: council approves RBC Heritage sponsorship, attorney practice-location change, and easement termination
Summary
At its Feb. 10 meeting the council unanimously approved a $400,000 sponsorship for the 2026 RBC Heritage, an ordinance to broaden town‑attorney practice-location to Beaufort County (first reading), and post‑executive‑session actions to terminate a parking/access easement; the council recorded 7-0 votes on each item.
The Town Council on Feb. 10 took several formal actions by unanimous votes.
RBC Heritage sponsorship: Council approved a resolution to enter the same sponsorship agreement as last year with the Heritage Classic Foundation to support the 2026 RBC Heritage Golf Tournament, with financial support of $400,000. A staff presenter said the agreement and dates mirror last year’s package; Steve Wilmot, who has led the tournament for 40 years, was present. The motion passed 7-0.
Town-attorney practice-location ordinance (first reading): Council approved on first reading an amendment to Town Code Title 2, Chapter 11, Section 2-1-40 to modify the practice-location requirement for the town attorney from “Hilton Head Island” to “Beaufort County” to broaden the applicant pool while retaining expectations of local knowledge. The ordinance advanced on a 7-0 vote.
Post-executive-session actions: After an executive session the council approved a resolution authorizing the execution and delivery of an agreement to terminate a parking and access easement, to amend a declaration of covenants, and to amend a nondisclosure/noncompetition agreement, and then approved an ordinance authorizing termination of the parking and access easement. Both measures passed 7-0 on the record. The public record at the meeting did not include detailed property identifiers for the easement; staff said the actions authorize completion of the described transaction.
What the votes mean: The sponsorship resolution commits $400,000 in support of a major tourism event and will be reflected in upcoming budget work. The town‑attorney ordinance expands the geographic practice-area eligibility for that position. The easement-termination items authorize staff to execute agreements needed to complete the transaction discussed in executive session; council did not discuss technical details on the public record during the meeting.
