TO ENCOURAGE THE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES TO RECONSIDER ITS PRELIMINARY DECISION TO CLOSE THE DEPARTMENT'S WILDLIFE OFFICE IN HORRY COUNTY, TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN OPERATIONS OF THIS OFFICE, AND TO TAKE STEPS NECESSARY TO MAINTAIN THE NECESSARY STAFFING FOR THIS VALUABLE CONSISTENT SERVICE.
Whereas, it has come to the attention of the South Carolina General Assembly that the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is contemplating the closure of the Department of Natural Resources county office presently operating at the M. L. Brown Building on Highway 701 in Conway, South Carolina; and
Whereas, the General Assembly believes that the public service provided by this office serves a vital constituent need in light of there being approximately twenty thousand registered boats in Horry County; and
Whereas, the General Assembly understands that Horry County is committed to its ongoing financial responsibility for the normal and reasonable expenses associated with the department's continued staffing of the local office. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, encourages the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources to reconsider its preliminary decision to close the department's wildlife office in Horry County, to continue to maintain operations of this office, and to take steps necessary to maintain the necessary staffing for this valuable constituent service.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Director of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, the Chairman of the South Carolina Natural Resources Board, and the Director of the Horry County Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Office.
