First of three Cherry Grove canals dredging project public hearings set for June 11, 9:00 a.m. at City Hall

Property owners who have provided the North Myrtle Beach City Manager with a written objection to their assessment within the Cherry Grove canals dredging project special assessment district will have the opportunity to verbally support their written objections during a June 11, 9:00 a.m. public hearing at City Hall. Property owners will sign in at 9:00 a.m. and will be heard on a first-come, first-served basis.

Although the public hearing is open to the public, only property owners within the assessment district who have provided the City Manager with written objections to their assessments may speak. A property owner may be represented by an attorney.

Additional public hearing opportunities for property owners who provide the City Manager with written objections to their assessments are June 30 at 9:00 a.m. and July 1 at 9:00 a.m.

The final date and time for providing the City Manager with a written objection to an assessment is July 1 at 9:00 a.m. Property owners who do not meet that deadline will be deemed to have consented to their assessment.          

A panel that includes a quorum of City Council members and others will listen to each property owner provide verbal support for their written objection. The panel’s role is to gather information, not to make decisions. The City Clerk will record each public hearing.

At a later date, City Council will convene in public session to consider and vote on each written objection.
