Solid waste ordinance fails first reading on 3–3 vote
Summary
A motion to accept the solid waste ordinance on first reading failed on a 3–3 split (ayes: Judge Riley, Esqs. Travis and Brewer; nays: Esqs. Beaverson, J. Moody and M. Moody). The ordinance did not advance.
A proposed solid waste ordinance did not advance after a tied first‑reading vote at the Spencer County Fiscal Court meeting on Aug. 3, 2020.
Esq. Travis moved, and Esq. Brewer seconded, to accept the solid waste ordinance for first reading. The roll call produced three ayes (Esq. Brewer, Esq. Travis and Judge Riley) and three nays (Esq. Beaverson, Esq. J. Moody and Esq. M. Moody), and the motion failed.
Why it matters: A failed first reading halts the ordinance's progress and signals disagreements among magistrates about the proposed solid‑waste approach; the subject may be reintroduced later.
What’s next: Sponsors may choose to revise the ordinance language or present additional information before bringing it back for consideration at a future meeting.
