Summary

Supervisor Wolf said an issue statement and affirmation seeking party status in the Shepherd's Run matter were filed; a ruling on party status was expected the week of Feb. 18 and dismissal was also being pursued concurrently.

Supervisor Wolf updated the county board on the Shepherd's Run project and related proceedings, thanking residents who attended public comment hearings and urged support for local home‑rule positions.

Wolf said an issue statement (about 77 pages) and a 24‑page affirmation raising matters for adjudication were filed to seek party status — a status he said has not previously been granted to any town in the county's history — and that the town would learn whether it has party status the week of Feb. 18. He also said the town is moving to have the entire matter dismissed in parallel, though he described dismissal as less likely than obtaining party status.

The remarks were informational; no board action on the legal filings was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
