Committee recommends roughly $1.75 million for beach patrol and funds policing for major events
Summary
The committee approved funding recommendations that include roughly $1.75 million for Horry County Beach Patrol and additional police support for large events (biker events, Myrtle Beach Bowl); provisos and caps were discussed before members settled on approved figures.
Committee members approved funding to support Horry County Beach Patrol at a level close to last year, cited in the transcript as $1,750,000. Speaker 5 moved to fund the Beach Patrol "at very close level to last year, 1,750,000," and the motion passed by voice vote.
Members also discussed police support for biker events and other large gatherings. The biker-events line item referenced the provisional cap and was amended during discussion; the committee ultimately approved the revised figure discussed during the meeting. Funding for police support for the Myrtle Beach Bowl and other events was also recommended in committee and will go forward to Administrative Committee and Council for final action.
