City boards and commissions serve as advisory groups that study specific policy areas, gather community input, and make recommendations to the City Council on those issues.

The Accommodations Tax Advisory Committee, mandated by the State of South Carolina, reviews applications and makes funding recommendations to the City Council. These expenditures are also reviewed by the State of South Carolina’s Tourism Expenditure Review Committee (TERC), which differentiates between events attended primarily by residents and those designed for and attended primarily by non-residents.
