During the 7:00 pm meeting, City Council members recognized Superintendent of Fleet Delton Grissett for 45 years of service to the City. He retires at the end of December.
Delton joined the City as an Auto Mechanic on November 10, 1975. Over the years, he held the positions of Mechanic II, Shop Foreman, Lead Mechanic, and Fleet Management Supervisor. He now holds the position of Superintendent of Fleet.
Not only does his 45 years of service make him the longest-serving City employee, he has not taken a sick day since 1997, also a record.
Delton is a dedicated Coastal Carolina University fan, and he and his grandchildren go to every game. He is also a huge supporter of the North Myrtle Beach High School Chiefs. He enjoys helping people, especially those who are less fortunate. Delton loves cooking and watching ballgames with his wife.
We thank Delton for his years of dedicated service and we wish him and his family all the best in retirement!

City Council passed first reading of an ordinance to reinstate the 1% percent hospitality fee and 1-1/2% accommodations fee.
The proposed ordinance would amend Chapter7, Article VIII of the City’s Code of Ordinances to reinstate provisions for a 1% Hospitality Fee and a 1-1/2% Accommodations fee, from Sections 7-120 to 7-155, and repeals other provisions of that Article and Chapter 7, Article XII, which pertain solely to the imposition of Hospitality and Accommodations Taxes. These actions are required to comply with a court order approving settlement, and authorizing related procedures, in the pending litigation, City of Myrtle Beach, for Itself and a Class of Similarly situated Plaintiffs, v. Horry County, 2019-CP-26-01732.
City Council passed first reading of the ordinance in order to be prepared to act when a court-approved settlement agreement occurs between Myrtle Beach and Horry County. Council will hold second reading of the ordinance only after that occurs.
