More Information: View Meeting Agenda | Submit a Public Comment | Livestream Video (YouTube) Governor Closes Public Access to All Beaches and Waterways; Seabrook Island Beaches Unaffected On Monday, March 30th, Governor Henry McMaster issued Executive Order No. 2020-16, which ordered the immediate closure of any and all public beach access points, piers, docks, wharfs, boat ramps, and boat landings providing public access to waters of the state, to include any adjacent or associated public parking lots or other public facilities, for the duration of the State of Emergency. Because all beach access points within the Town of Seabrook Island are privately owned, they are not affected by the Governor’s executive order. Therefore, the town’s beaches remain open at this time. As a reminder, the Mayor’s Executive Order No. 2020-01 prohibits gatherings of more than ten people while outside their homes (including on the beach), requires people within groups of ten or fewer people to practice “social distancing” by maintaining a minimum separation of six feet between individuals, and authorizes the Town’s Code Enforcement Officers to disperse groups of three or more individuals if an Officer believes the group creates a threat to public health.

March 30, 2020 -- 8:00 pm Restrictions on Individuals Entering the Town from Areas with Substantial Community Spread In an effort to minimize contact with individuals entering the town from areas with substantial community spread of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), Mayor John Gregg issued Executive Order 2020-02 on Monday, March 30, 2020. Consistent with an order issued by Governor Henry McMaster on March 28th, the Mayor’s Executive Order requires individuals entering the town who have traveled to or from locations in the States of Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and the City of New Orleans, as well as a those countries designated by the CDC as subject to a "Level 3 Travel Notice," must isolate or self-quarantine for 14 days, or for the duration of the individual’s stay in the town (whichever is shorter). This order was effective immediately and applies to ALL individuals entering the town including, but not limited to: full- and part-time residents; property owners; family members and guests of residents and property owners; short-term rental guests; employees; and contractors. The Order also requires that property owners/managers communicate notice of these requirements to individuals coming to Seabrook Island from any of the above-referenced locations. The Order will remain in effect for the duration of the State of Emergency. More Information: View Executive Order 2020-02 | Isolation vs. Quarantine (SCDHEC) Limitations on Local Authority The Town of Seabrook Island has received many calls and emails over the last week requesting that access to the island be limited or otherwise restricted. Consistent with the town’s Comprehensive Emergency Plan, the town has followed the orders imposed by the Governor’s Office, as well as recommendations issued by experts from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC). We are aware that several neighboring communities, including Edisto Beach, Folly Beach, Isle of Palms and Sullivans Island, have established police checkpoints to limit access to their communities and, further, have imposed restrictions on certain business activities. On March 27th, the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office issued an advisory opinion which stated, in part: “[L]ocal government cannot exercise the emergency powers delegated to the Governor by the General Assembly… The Governor… as the Chief Executive of the State, is responsible for the safety, security and welfare of the State… Therefore, counties and municipalities should be aware that any unauthorized exercise of such emergency powers could subject these political subdivisions to liability at the behest of a private citizen with requisite legal standing.” Unlike those jurisdictions referenced above, the Town of Seabrook Island does not have a municipal police department to enforce such an order. Mayor John Gregg reached out to the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) to determine whether CCSO deputies would assist the town by staffing a municipal checkpoint, if the Mayor and Council were to decide at some point in the future to restrict access to the town. On March 30th, the town received a response from the CCSO which stated, in part: “After conferring with Sheriff Cannon and County Legal, the Sheriff’s Office will not enforce restricted access initiatives unless the Governor has declared Martial Law… [T]he Sheriff is concerned with ensuring Constitutional rights are not infringed during this challenging and constantly evolving event. The Sheriff’s Office has, and continues to assist beach communities upon request; however, the deputies that are working these areas are responding to calls for service or assisting with traffic control that is not related to access of the community being served.” Based on these limitations, and because the town does not control access through the SIPOA security gate, the town does not have a viable way to limit or restrict access to the island. At this time, the Mayor and Council remain in constant contact with the Town Attorney and various state and local partners to identify methods to best protect residents of the town. More Information: View SCAG Advisory Opinion | View Correspondence from CCSO Pre-Screening of 911 Calls In order to safeguard the health and safety of law enforcement authorities and other first responders who risk potential exposure to COVID-19 while providing emergency and other essential services during the State of Emergency, Governor McMaster has ordered all 911 operators or other emergency dispatchers to ask any individual placing a call for service whether such individual or any member of their household has tested positive for COVID-19 or is exhibiting symptoms consistent with the same. Extension of School Closures On March 28th, Governor McMaster ordered that all public K-12 schools, as well as state-supported colleges, universities and technical schools, shall remained closed until April 30th. Parents of children who attend private schools should contact those schools directly for additional information.

Mayor Issues Executive Order to Restrict Gatherings. On March 26, 2020, Mayor John Gregg issued Executive Order 2020-01. The order prohibits gatherings of more than ten people while outside their homes and requires people within groups of ten or fewer people to practice “social distancing” by maintaining a minimum separation of six feet between individuals.

The town’s Code Enforcement Officers are authorized to enforce the Order and are also authorized to cooperate with state and county law enforcement officers in their enforcement of the Governor’s Executive Order No. 2020-13, which allows for the dispersal of gatherings of three or more individuals if the officers determine that the gathering poses a threat to public health. The Mayor’s Order was effective immediately and will remain in effect for the duration of the State of Emergency. The order applies to gatherings at all indoor and outdoor locations throughout the town (including, but not limited to, the beach, the Lake House, the Island House and Bohicket Marina), but does not apply to gatherings within an individual’s residence.

In the spirit of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors,” Seabrook Island Village (SIV), a local 501(c)3 organization, realizes that there may be many people on Seabrook Island who might need a little assistance because they are impacted by, or may be at a higher risk, during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the SIV Board has decided to extend grocery shopping and prescription drug pick-up services at Freshfields to non-members. If you would like to use this service, please call SIV at (843) 580-2088 or visit their website.

March 22, 2020 -- 10:00 pm
In the last 48 hours, the town has received multiple calls and emails from residents, property owners and visitors regarding access to Seabrook Island and its beaches. Given the existing protocols already in place to limit public access through the Seabrook Island Property Owners Association (SIPOA) security gate, neither the Town nor SIPOA have implemented additional access restrictions at this time. Below is a statement from Mayor John Gregg regarding the town’s current status, as well as recommended actions that individuals may undertake to limit their exposure to Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). ---------- Statement from Mayor John Gregg As you may know, several area “beach communities,” including Edisto Beach, Folly Beach, Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island, have implemented restrictions on access to their beaches. In fact, those restrictions are in line with control of access to the Town’s beaches that is effected by the Seabrook Island Property Owners Association (“SIPOA”). That is, to have access to SIPOA’s beach accesses, it is necessary to have access through SIPOA’s security gate which is allowed for property owners, residents (including those who are not property owners) and their invited guests (by passes authorized by property owners and residents). Currently, “rental guests” can have access through the gate by virtue of having arranged a stay at a Seabrook Island property. The restrictions of the aforementioned beach communities similarly allow persons who have arranged rentals in those communities to access their beaches. I acknowledge the concerns expressed by some that an influx of rental guests and others into Seabrook Island increases the potential for spread of coronavirus here. No matter any limitations that may be imposed by governmental authorities on access to the Town’s beaches or access to the Town, we must each take responsibility for our own behavior to lessen the chances for being infected. The one practice that is available to all and that is universally recognized as being effective for spread of this disease is “social distancing” (separation by six feet or more from others). That practice is effective because the virus is spread through contact and the recommended separation will place you beyond direct ingestion of virus present in droplets expelled by coughs or sneezes of an infected person. Avoidance of groups of ten or more is a practice to help individuals practice “social distancing”—much more difficult when in the midst of groups of people. Practicing “hand hygiene” is effective to avoid indirect contact infection where live virus that persists on surfaces you touch is transferred from your hands to membranes at your face that would allow the virus to enter your body. Practicing “hand hygiene”, means frequent washing of hands with warm, soapy water to kill virus on the hands and wash away the killed virus; and avoiding touching your face with your hands to prevent transfer of virus from your hands to membranes at your face. The measures taken by the beach communities of Edisto Beach, Folly Beach, Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island were spurred in part by failure of beach goers to practice “social distancing”. By recent action of the Governor, law enforcement is specifically tasked to enforce state law providing for dispersal of groups of three or more on SC beaches. That enforcement can include fine and imprisonment. When on our beaches, the Town’s Code Enforcement Officers will be asking groups of beach goers they encounter to observe “social distancing” or disperse. I urge those of you who are hosting friends or family to remind them of the importance of practicing “social distancing” while they are on our beaches. If you own property occupied by rental guests, please ask those rental guests to practice “social distancing” while on our beaches. Kind regards, John Gregg Mayor, Town of Seabrook Island ---------- For general questions about COVID-19, please contact the SC Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) Care Line at (855) 472-3432.
