Susquehanna County commissioners close public comment and adopt Ordinance 2025-01
Summary
Susquehanna County commissioners voted to close public comment and adopted Ordinance 2025-01 during a brief meeting in which Commissioner McNamara was absent. The board recorded unanimous 'aye' votes among members present and adjourned at 01:24.
Susquehanna County commissioners moved to close public comment and adopted an ordinance the board said will provide a temporary framework for review over the next 30 to 90 days.
The meeting opened with the pledge of allegiance, and an attendance note that “Commissioner McNamara is not here,” before the board asked for public comment. Unidentified Speaker 3 announced, "Motion to close," and Unidentified Speaker 1 stated, "Motion by commissioner Darrow to close public comment." After an unidentified second, the board recorded 'aye' responses and the motion carried.
Minutes later the board took up an ordinance identified in the record as "ordinance 20 25 0 1." Unidentified Speaker 3 said, "I'll make a motion. To Adapt." Unidentified Speaker 1 said, "I will second that motion to adopt ordinance 20 25 0 1." The board again voted in favor; the chair declared the motion carried and said this action "at least gets us a starting point" and provides time "where nothing can happen to us too crazy in the next 30 days or 90 till it can get reviewed again." The meeting record shows the session closed at 01:24.
The transcript alternately spells the mover's name as "Darrow" and later as "Darryl." The public record as read into the minutes identifies the mover as "commissioner Darrow" (SEG 020) and later uses the variant spelling (SEG 050); the meeting did not include any on-the-record public commenters or extended debate about the ordinance's substance.
Formal actions recorded in the meeting transcript were: a motion to close public comment (moved in the record by Commissioner Darrow, seconded by an unidentified speaker) and a motion to adopt Ordinance 2025-01 (moved in the record by an unidentified speaker who identified the mover as Darrow/Darryl and seconded by an unidentified speaker). Commissioner McNamara was noted absent from the meeting.
The transcript does not include the ordinance text, its immediate legal effect, or detailed debate on its provisions; those details are not specified in the record. The board adjourned after the votes.
