Council amends negotiation authorization, raising county offer from $6M to $8.25M
Summary
After reconsideration, council approved an amendment to resolution R‑71‑2025 that increases the county's authorized negotiation amount from $6,000,000 to $8,250,000 following discussion with Myrtle Beach; the change was presented by staff and approved by voice vote.
The council revisited resolution R‑71‑2025 and approved an amendment that increases the amount the county is authorized to consider in negotiations from $6,000,000 to $8,250,000. County staff explained the adjustment was a response to a counteroffer from the City of Myrtle Beach and said the increase was not the county "bidding against itself" but rather a counter to the city's position. "This amendment ... would increase the amount that the county has authorized for our consideration in these negotiations from 6,000,000 to 8,250,000," staff told the council.
Council members asked no further substantive questions and the motion to amend and approve carried on a voice vote. The meeting record does not include details of terms, specific property references in the excerpted dialogue, or any recorded roll‑call vote; staff indicated the figure reflects ongoing negotiations with municipal counterparts.
