At public comment on Feb. 3, Angela Metts told the Atlantic Beach Town Council that she was appointed to the Planning Commission, completed the required training and holds a certificate, but has not received any written notice or a "just cause" letter informing her of removal.

Metts said she has documentation of her appointment and training and that the certificate shows her term runs through 2026. She cited South Carolina Code 6-29-350 when asking the council for a copy of the removal notice and for clarification of the process. "I have not received anything from the Town of Atlantic Beach, even though I did what I was supposed to do," Metts told the council.

Mayor Pro Tem John David responded that the council would follow up with Metts on the matter. The transcript does not record a formal explanation or presentation of a written removal notice during the meeting; Town staff indicated they would investigate and get back to the commenter.

Status: unresolved. The council did not present documentation or a formal statement of cause at the meeting and committed to follow up with Metts.
