Summary

Wakulla County commissioners approved ordinances to amend Chapter 8 (code enforcement) and Chapter 6 (animal control appeals) to transition both appeal boards to a special magistrate process.

Staff presented two related ordinance amendments to transition local appeals boards to special magistrates. The first ordinance would amend Chapter 8 of the county code to move code-enforcement appeals to a special magistrate. The second would amend Chapter 6 to transition the Animal Control Appeals Board to a special magistrate.

Staff said both ordinances change portions of the code to allow for the transition; both items were moved, seconded and approved by the board without public opposition recorded on the record.
