Mayor leads council to approve resolution clarifying terms for Board of Zoning Appeals

The North Myrtle Beach City Council approved a resolution clarifying term limits for members of the Board of Zoning Appeals after the mayor said a procedural error at the prior meeting had left the change without a recorded second.

The measure formalizes the length of terms for board members and corrects the prior meeting’s procedural lapse, the mayor said. "Basically, this is because at the last council meeting, we failed to get a motion in the 2nd. We passed it. So just a error," the mayor said during discussion. "It just identifies the term limits of the, of the members. That's what it's doing." After brief remarks the resolution was moved and seconded and put to a voice vote; the transcript records the mayor calling for the vote, the mayor saying "Aye," and no opposing voices recorded in the provided segments.

There were no public comments on the item. The council then considered procedural business and the mayor moved to adjourn the meeting to go to a budget retreat; that motion was seconded on the record, but the transcript ends before a vote on the adjournment is recorded.

Action details in the transcript identify the resolution as intended to set or clarify term limits for the Board of Zoning Appeals and note that the council corrected an earlier procedural omission from its prior meeting. The transcript does not include the full roll-call vote tally for the resolution or a recorded outcome for the adjournment motion.
