Board adopts county codification and forms citizen/staff review committee
Summary
After reviewing costs associated with codification service and attorney review, the board voted to adopt the codified ordinances as presented and to convene a volunteer committee to examine and recommend minor corrections to the code.
The board considered a codification package prepared by the county (CivicPlus engagement and attorney review). Administration summarized expenditures already incurred (approximately $9,950.50 to CivicPlus and $1,615 for attorney review time, totaling about $11,565.50) and recommended accepting the codification as presented and then creating a working group to identify required corrections.
Supervisors discussed whether adopting the codification now would require additional public hearings for subsequent ordinance changes; county staff and the CivicPlus attorney recommended adopting the full code and then addressing corrections via a resolution process or by batch public hearings when multiple sections are changed. The board voted to approve the codification as presented, authorized staff to convene a citizen/staff working group to review the ordinances, and indicated two supervisors could participate if they wished.
The board recorded 'aye' votes and directed staff to proceed with committee formation and provide a path for minor corrections and attorney review without further immediate expenditure beyond the contracted services.
