Amend Title To Conform
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. Item (14), Section 5, Act 1595 of 1972, as last amended by Act 163 of 1995, is further amended to read:
"(14) The resident Charleston County Legislative Delegation shall set a tax levy ceiling to meet the necessary costs of:
(a) providing advisory and technical assistance to all appropriate groups such as legally constituted park, recreation, or playground commissions or other civic community groups;
(b) participating in facility development projects within those areas presently served by legally constituted recreation agencies but limited to land acquisition and facility construction where federal or state funds are used and further limited to participation at one-fourth of the total cost of the project;
(c) providing, maintaining, and supervising park and tourist attractions including, but not limited to:
(1) fishing facilities;
(2) historical preservation areas;
(3) marinas and boat landings;
(4) county parks;
(5) public beaches;
(6) golf facilities.
Prior to constructing or assuming ownership of a golf facility, the commission shall conduct or contract for a feasibility and marketing study or both on the need and cost for operating a golf facility. The study must be submitted to the County Council which must approve any plan to operate a golf facility prior to the district purchasing or assuming ownership, operation, or control of the facility. For the golf facility to be approved, its operation must be financially self-sustaining with no county millage required for its operation. The operation costs of the golf facility must include, but are not limited to acquisition and capital costs. Provided, however, that the authority conveyed in this sub-subitem. relating to golf facilities is limited to the provision, maintenance, or supervision of one golf facility which must be provided, maintained, and supervised in conjunction with a public institution of higher learning, as defined in Section 59-103-5 of the 1976 Code and located in Charleston County."
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
