County Attorney Anthony Rowell presented Ordinance No. 2024-01 at the April 2 workshop, describing the draft rules that would regulate activity in county rights-of-way and drawing commissioners' attention to Sections 90-6 (prohibitions) and 90-7 (penalties).
Several commissioners expressed concern about the wording in Section 90-7 and whether the ordinance would authorize a written warning or impose a fine for a first offense; Rowell and staff said they would clarify the language prior to taking the item to the regular session. The board indicated a desire to place the ordinance on the April 8 consent agenda.
The board did not adopt the ordinance at the workshop; staff will return with clarified penalty language and place the item on the April 8 consent agenda for formal action.
