Due to construction-related safety concerns at City Hall, the Reverse Osmosis (RO) water station must be relocated to the front left side of City Hall.

The RO station is working again.

We understand this notice is being provided on short notice and apologize for the inconvenience. This relocation is necessary to maintain safe public access during the upcoming construction.

PUBLIC SCAM ALERT

We have received reports of scammers posing as Village officials asking people to buy them gift cards.

Please be aware that no Village of Surfside Beach official or staff member will EVER ask you to buy gift cards.

If you get a text, phone call, or email making this request, do not reply. Block the number/sender immediately and report the contact to the Surfside Beach Police Department. When in doubt, always call City Hall directly to verify!

From the Mayor’s Desk

That was fun. NOT. Kudos to our Emergency Management team. They remained on standby before and during Bertha. They held daily briefings and were prepared for any outcome. Special thanks to Chief Hester who went out during the thunderstorm on Wednesday night to chase swimmers out of the water. Lightening and water don’t mix and I can’t imagine what those people were thinking.

On Tuesday night Council voted to appoint our Finance Director, Christie Briones, as the Interim City Administrator. She stepped up to take on the additional responsibilities and help us out while we search for a replacement. Thank you, Christie, I look forward to working with you.

The first Budget Workshop for the 2026/2027 fiscal year was held on July 21. These workshops will continue throughout August. The dates and times will be posted on the Village web site. If you are interested in how we plan to spend your tax dollars, you should make it a point to attend. We welcome your input.

All city employees, elected officials and appointees will attend a Sexual Harassment Workshop on August 10. It saddens me that employers find it necessary to make this training a requirement. We as a civilization should do better.

The power outage on Wednesday night proved to me how valuable the FEMA grant for a generator for City Hall and the EMS and Police Building will be. All deliverables have been submitted to FEMA, and the grant has been approved. It’s difficult to provide protection and rescue without power, when the only communication is two-way radios.

As I write this, we may still feel some effects from Bertha. We are sure to have some riptides and some wind and rain. Stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.
