Board opens and closes public hearing on private road name Wabeek Bluffs; no action taken
Summary
The board opened and closed a public hearing on naming a private road in the Wabeek Bluffs subdivision, with county staff saying publication was not required and no public comments were received.
The Linn County Board of Supervisors opened and closed a public hearing on a proposal to name a private road in the Wabeek Bluffs subdivision "Wabeek Bluffs Road" during its March 31 meeting.
The chair opened the hearing and asked whether the required publication had occurred. Garrett Redish, identified in the record as Linn County assistant engineer, told the board: "I don't believe it need to be published because it's not a truly a road name change. This is a new bridal road, so it's more of the original establishment." Redish's comment was the only staff explanation recorded; no members of the public spoke.
Because there were no public comments and staff reported that publication was not required under the county's understanding for a newly established private road, the board closed the public hearing. The board recorded the open and close by voice votes; no final action to adopt or finalize the road name was recorded at the meeting.
The county clerk should have the formal file for the road-name proposal; the transcript shows the board treated this as a hearing without an immediate vote, and the chair explicitly asked whether action was required that day.
