The Johnson County Board of Commissioners voted on Dec. 1 to adopt Ordinance 2025-015, an ordinance vacating a county easement, after a public hearing that drew no comments from members of the public.

The board convened a public hearing at 10:01 a.m. on the ordinance and invited in-person and Zoom participants to speak. No one came forward to comment. A commissioner moved to close the hearing; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote, and the board then moved to the ordinance vote. A motion to approve the ordinance was seconded and the motion carried by voice vote.

The hearing record contains no public testimony for or against the easement vacation. The board provided no additional explanation in the meeting discussion about the specific property or the reasons for vacating the easement during the session.

Next steps: Because the board approved the ordinance during the meeting, the adopted ordinance will be reflected in the county's codified records; the transcript did not specify any additional implementation steps or effective date for this ordinance.
