City Council Considers Proposed FY 2013 BudgetDuring their May 21 meeting, City Council passed first read-

ing of an ordinance to establish a FY 2013 Budget for the City.

Second and final reading of the ordinance will occur during

Council’s regularly scheduled June 4 meeting.

The proposed millage rate remains unchanged for FY 2013 at

38 mils. This includes 32 mils for operations and 6 mils for debt

service on the 2011 General Obligation Park Improvement

Bonds. The debt service millage, made effective in FY 2012,

will expire at the end of eight years when the Improvement

Bonds have been paid off. North Myrtle Beach continues to

have the lowest millage rate in Horry County.

The overall proposed budget for FY 2013 is $83,722,921

compared to $74,730,827 in FY 2012. The proposed increase is

attributed to major capital projects, including the construction of

the North Myrtle Beach Park & Sports Complex located west of

the Intracoastal Waterway, and major storm water drainage

improvements for the Main Street area.

The proposed Budget eliminates through attrition two regular

employee positions for a total of 359 employees,which is two

less than FY 2012.

If approved, full salaries and benefits would be budgeted for

all positions. However, depending on economic conditions, some

position vacancies might remain unfilled for the fiscal year.

A copy of the Budget is available at www.NMB.us under“New & Noteworthy” on the homepage. To have a copy emailedto you, please request one from pcdowling@nmb.us
