Resident asks commissioners for clarity on local "fence law" during public comment

Keith Carter, who identified himself in the transcript as representing Hart's Gravel, used the public comment period to ask commissioners about a local “fence law.” Carter said he had discussed the matter with county staff and community members but could not remember when actions occurred.

Carter said, “I'm just here about the fence law. I've spoke to Kate a little bit about it. I spoke to Vaughn and it was a big deal.” He added, “I sorry, I'm over 60 now, so I can't remember when it was, but I know that I had dinner with John Barber and Tina Cannon regarding it. And I know something got passed. I think Von talked to Roland, and Roland said—” The comment ends in the transcript without a completion of Roland’s reported statement.

The transcript records Carter’s request for clarification but does not include any staff reply, any citation to a specific ordinance or statute, or details about what the fence law requires. Carter referenced conversations with two staff members (Kate and Vaughn) and with community members John Barber, Tina Cannon and Roland; the transcript does not identify those individuals' official roles.

Because no ordinance number, statute, or specific rule was cited on the record, the transcript does not allow the commission’s legal authority or the law’s substantive requirements to be reported here. Carter’s remarks were made during the public comment portion of the meeting; no formal action, referral, or direction to staff regarding the fence law is recorded in the available transcript excerpt.
