Decatur County APC approves wording change to survey ordinance on second reading
Summary
The Decatur County Area Planning Commission approved a minor wording change to the county survey ordinance on second reading, replacing the term “when” with “upon” in the section governing recording of new legal descriptions; commissioners approved the amended ordinance and will forward it as required.
The Decatur County Area Planning Commission approved an amendment to the county survey ordinance on second reading, adopting a wording change in the section addressing when new legal descriptions must be recorded.
Commission staff said the change replaces the word “when” with “upon” in the ordinance’s survey-recording requirement; the amendment was described as a clarification developed after consultation with county attorneys. The change was discussed as occurring in section 3 (with section 6 referenced in the discussion) of the ordinance text.
The commission held a short discussion and then voted to approve the amended ordinance on second reading. A member moved and another seconded the motion; the commission called the question and approved the change. Staff said members would have an opportunity to review the final amended ordinance language before it is forwarded as required.
The amendment was described as a technical wording fix rather than a policy change. Commissioners did not request additional substantive changes during the meeting.
The commission then proceeded to other agenda items.
