Hunterdon County commissioners introduce environmental health ordinance, set public hearing
Summary
At the Feb. 8 meeting, a motion to introduce an ordinance under the County Environmental Health Act passed; commissioners moved to set a public hearing though the hearing date was not specified.
Hunterdon County commissioners moved to introduce an update to the county—nvironmental health ordinance and set a date for a public hearing during their Feb. 8, 2025 meeting at the Hunterdon County Historic Courthouse in Flemington.
The introduction matter came at the request of county staff under authority of the County Environmental Health Act and related SEHA provisions. Deputy Director Vandoren moved to introduce the ordinance, and Commissioner Rich seconded the motion. A roll call of present members recorded four affirmative votes with one absence; the motion carried.
County staff said the ordinance updates standard procedures for environmental health oversight but did not provide detailed text during the meeting. Commissioners who voted in favor indicated the move would allow public review and comment before a final decision.
The motion did not include a specific public hearing date on the record; staff said a hearing date would be scheduled and publicly noticed in accordance with county rules.
The introduction begins a formal public process: the ordinance will be posted for review and be the subject of a future hearing at which the board may adopt, amend or decline the measure.
No amendments or additional formal actions were taken at the meeting on this item.
