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 may verbally support their written objections during a June 30,
9:00 a.m. public hearing or a July 1, 9:00 a.m. public hearing at City
Hall. Property owners will sign in at 9:00 a.m. on either date and will
be heard on a first-come, first-served basis.
Although
the public hearings are 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.
Property
owners who file written objections to their assessments are not
required to participate in one of the public hearings. Their written
objections will still be made part of the record.
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 made up of City Council members will listen to each property
owner who opts to 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 vote on each written objection.
