CONWAY | Conway Main Street has agreed legally to abide by the dictates of the S.C. Open Meetings Law and has been enjoined from refusing to do so, according to a consent order filed Aug. 30 in the Horry County Court of Common Pleas.

The order is the result of a lawsuit filed by Conway artist and business owner Barbara Streeter because she was ordered to leave a March 19 volunteer committee meeting that was convened by the downtown development organization.

The order said that Main Street is subject to the state law because it receives public money and may close its meetings to the public only if it no longer has tax-supported funding.

Eleven people who were arrested during the weekend's turbulent Occupy Oakland protests were ordered Tuesday to stay away from the plaza outside Oakland City Hall that serves as the movement's main staging area, and city officials said they hoped the move would quell future disturbances.

The organization further was ordered to pay Streeter $1,500 in lawyer fees and $166 in costs.

Hillary Howard, the organization's interim director, said she had no comment on the order. Streeter could not be reached for comment this morning.
