Summary
At its Jan. 15 meeting Port Royal approved second reading of an ordinance to convey property for sidewalks (Ord. 2024-20), approved a $11,500 tree contract for Sands Beach Park and approved additional consultant work to finish a zoning-code review; all passed on voice votes.
At the Jan. 15 Port Royal council meeting the council recorded the following formal actions:
Ordinance 2024-20 (second reading): Motion to authorize the town manager to convey excess real property to facilitate sidewalk construction (described as Beaufort County Tax District 110, map 11, parcels listed in the ordinance). The council approved the ordinance on second reading by voice vote (SEG 1240–1268). No recorded roll-call tally was read; the motion passed on 'aye' voice votes.
Tree-maintenance contract for Sands Beach Park: The Sands Beach Task Force solicited estimates and two bids were presented ($11,500 and $12,000). Council approved the $11,500 contract for limb-up and cleanup on voice vote (SEG 1298–1486).
Zoning-code review consultant: Council approved additional funds to allow Moser Design Group to complete the zoning-code review and prepare grouped draft amendments for planning-commission review; staff said the work aims to finish key items in about three months (SEG 1488–1619). The motion passed on voice vote.
Executive session: Council moved into executive session to receive legal advice on three matters (an alleyway dispute between 11th and 10th Street, an easement issue at the end of 16th Street, and ongoing mediation with Safe Harbor). No action was taken during executive session; council reconvened in open session and adjourned (SEG 1919–1973).
Notes: Where the transcript reports only voice votes and 'ayes' rather than roll-call tallies, the council's approvals are recorded here as approved by voice; specific vote-by-name tallies were not specified in the meeting transcript.
