Cramerton board approves ordinance changes to decriminalize sections of town code
Summary
The Town of Cramerton Board of Commissioners on July 16 approved draft ordinance amendments presented by Town Attorney Karen Wolter to decriminalize multiple sections of the Town Code to conform with recent changes in North Carolina law; the vote was unanimous.
The Town of Cramerton Board of Commissioners voted July 16 to approve draft ordinance amendments to decriminalize multiple sections of the town code, Town Attorney Karen Wolter told the board.
Wolter said the changes align the code with recent amendments to North Carolina General Statutes and that staff prepared an attached memo detailing each modified or removed section. Commissioner Dixie Abernathy moved to approve the draft changes; Commissioner Jennifer Ramsey seconded the motion, and the board voted unanimously to adopt the amendments.
The board did not specify effective dates for the changes during the meeting. The training earlier in the meeting had noted statutory provisions in Article 6 of Chapter 160 of the General Statutes as part of the broader discussion of legislative roles and notice requirements.
The ordinance changes will be reflected in the town code as described in the staff memo; the board recorded no further conditions or amendments during the July 16 meeting.
