Summary

The board approved the first reading of a no-through-trucks ordinance as amended in a work session and removed a proposed right-of-way travel permit fee pending staff-defined structure and return to the board.

Commissioners approved the first reading of a no-through-trucks ordinance that had been amended during a prior work session. The motion included removing the right-of-way travel permit fee (referred to in the transcript as the 'right away usage fee' or 'right of way travel permit') until staff could return with a defined permit structure and fee recommendation.

The motion to accept the ordinance minus the right-of-way fee was seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote (5-0). Commissioners indicated staff will prepare the fee structure and return to the board for further consideration.

The ordinance advances to the next step in the county's process; staff will present the fee framework when available and the board may take final action at a subsequent meeting.
