For the minutes on County Council meetings, follow a similar procedure after clicking Horry County government Note 2001 and 2002 archived minute link at the bottom of those for 2003. These are not posted until after they are approved at the succeeding County Council meeting. For the agenda on Planning Commission meetings, after clicking Horry County government, click Departments, on the new screen, pull down the menu by clicking the down arrow immediately to the right of the words "select department" and scrolling down till the word "Planning" appears. Click on "Planning." On the new screen, scroll down to the menu and click the desired date alongside "Agenda" in blue text. Wait for Acrobat Reader to load the agenda text. "The Planning Commission agenda is hard to read when it comes up on the Planning web page. The first thing I would suggest doing is clicking on the break out of frames button on the left side of the page located under the Horry County symbol. This will eliminate the index and make the page full screen. After this, when you open the agenda it will be sized at 44% ( this should show up on the lowest toolbar at the top of the page on the left hand side). If you increase the size to 100% it should be readable. Also, if you prefer to print the page the font size should be readable on the printed page." -- Guidance as furnished by James Bischof Senior Planner. To get contact information on Planning Commission members on the county site, click "Directory," "Boards and Commissions" and then "Planning Commission."
