# Georgetown County Council Meeting - August 11, 2026

Georgetown County Council meeting, August 11, 2026: Council discussed Ordinance 26-22, which would place a 1% local-option sales and use tax referendum on the November 3 ballot. Members reviewed the statutory allocation, which phases property-tax relief from 63% in the first year to 71% by the fifth year, with the remainder available for county and municipal operations. Staff gave illustrative estimates based on $18 million in revenue, including approximately $992,000 for Georgetown, $261,000 for Andrews, and $156,500 for Pawleys Island. Council members discussed the allocation rules and voter education; a motion and second were recorded, but the transcript does not capture the vote or outcome on the ordinance.

Council also approved Ordinance 26-23 to regulate through traffic, primarily large commercial trucks, on Turntable Road in Council District 1. The chair approved the agenda, and the meeting ended with an adjournment motion. No procurement, contract award, or purchasing activity was identified.
