Supervisors hold public hearing and advance Human Rights Ordinance amendments with no comments
Summary
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors opened and closed a public hearing on proposed amendments to the county Human Rights Ordinance on May 1, received no public comments, and approved waiving three readings plus first and second consideration by unanimous vote.
The Johnson County Board of Supervisors on May 1 opened a public hearing on proposed amendments to the county Human Rights Ordinance, heard no public comment and advanced the ordinance through first and second consideration by unanimous vote.
The chair opened the hearing and noted the proposed amendments were published in the agenda packet. After calling for public comment three times and receiving none, the board closed the hearing. Supervisor Remington moved to waive three readings of the proposed ordinance amendments; the motion was seconded by Supervisor Sullivan and carried on a 5-0 roll call.
The board then moved to first and second consideration of the ordinance as published; that motion also carried 5-0.
No members of the public addressed the board on the ordinance during the hearing. The packet contains the full text of the proposed amendments; supervisors did not make edits on the floor during the May 1 meeting.
What happens next: Because the board approved first and second consideration and waived three readings, the ordinance moves forward per the county's ordinance adoption procedures. The adopted procedural actions do not by themselves change substantive law until the ordinance is placed on its next publication or adoption schedule.
