The mayor and six councilmembers legislate housing policy, budgets, annexations, zoning changes, development rules, and public assets. The Planning Commission reviews defined land-use applications and sends recommendations to Council when final legislative action is required.

SOUTH CAROLINA / ACCOUNTABILITY SOURCE DESK
Myrtle Beach
Foundation / manual review
Myrtle Beach’s strongest structured accountability path is statewide: campaign disclosures and statements of economic interests are public through the South Carolina Ethics Commission, while local records remain distributed across city documents and FOIA access.
Oversight model
South Carolina Ethics Commission campaign, economic-interest, lobbying, and enforcement systems, municipal financial reporting, public meetings, and state/federal courts.

CITY COUNCIL & HOUSING DECISION FILE
Where housing power becomes a record.
This maps formal authority and public access. It does not assign the council sole responsibility for housing supply or infer motive from a vote, meeting, contribution, or lobbying registration.
Advisory and binding stages must remain labeled separately.
South Carolina campaign and economic-interest disclosures identify reported financial relationships. The filer, municipal office, client, matter, dates, and Council action must match before the ledger describes influence on a Myrtle Beach decision.

STATUS IS THE HEADLINE
One matter. Every procedural turn.
A person can be connected to multiple matters. Each matter keeps its own forum, case number, allegations, findings, outcome, and appeal history.

→03DecisionDismissal, no violation, settlement, plea, verdict, or final order
→04AftermathSanction, sentence, appeal, reversal, corrective action, or closure
A complaint is an allegation. A charge is an allegation in court. An audit finding is an oversight conclusion. An ethics violation is an administrative outcome. Only a guilty plea or conviction is labeled as a criminal finding—and appeals or vacatur remain visible.
