Carroll County approves $500 toward ISAC amicus fund in pipeline zoning case
Summary
The board voted to contribute $500 to an ISAC legal fund supporting an amicus effort related to Kuzer v. Shelby County, a court decision that invalidated a zoning ordinance regulating a hazardous liquids pipeline. The board added the amount to payables for timely payment.
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors voted Nov. 12 to join other counties in contributing to an ISAC fund to help cover legal costs in connection with Kuzer v. Shelby County, which challenged a local zoning ordinance regulating a hazardous liquids pipeline.
Speaker 1 referenced a webinar and framed the issue as one of "local control," then moved that Carroll County contribute $500 toward ISAC—s requested pool. Speaker 8 seconded the motion; the board approved the $500 contribution by voice vote and directed staff to include the payment in payables so the check can be issued by the stated deadline.
The ISAC request, as presented, seeks contributions from counties to reach a total pool of approximately $25,000. The board—s action is procedural: it commits $500 from county funds to ISAC's request and does not itself initiate litigation. Board members said they had reviewed ISAC—s letter prior to the meeting.
The board recorded the motion and carried it by voice vote; staff confirmed they will place the $500 on the payables list for the current payables run to meet ISAC's timeline.
