Morgan County commission continues minor plat MIP2602 after petitioner fails to appear and welcomes new commissioner Mike Kerr

The chair called the Morgan County commission to order, announced a quorum was present and welcomed Mike Kerr as the board's newest commissioner. “I’d like to welcome our newest member, our newest commissioner, Mike Kerr,” the chair said, and added that Kerr must be sworn in, asking Linda to proceed with the swearing-in.

After routine items, the commission approved the minutes and the agenda. The chair called for a motion to approve the minutes; the motion was seconded (the record notes “Bill Rumbaugh seconds”) and the motion carried. The chair recorded one abstention; exact yes and no vote counts were not specified in the transcript.

Under old business, the commission had scheduled a hearing on minor plat petition MIP2602 but the petitioner did not appear. “We can’t hear it tonight because he’s not here to present the petition,” the chair said, apologizing to those who attended for the hearing. The chair then moved to continue MIP2602 to the next scheduled meeting. The motion was seconded (the second is recorded as Jason) and, after the chair called for the ayes, the motion carried.

Later in the meeting the chair moved to the plant director report; a staff member noted the board would be “busy next month” and that staff would “have a look” at related items, but no substantive report was presented at this meeting.

With no further business, a motion to adjourn was made and seconded, the ayes were called and the meeting ended. The commission did not provide detailed vote tallies in the record for the motions noted; where counts were not read aloud the minutes record them as not specified.

The commission scheduled MIP2602 for consideration at its next regularly scheduled meeting; the transcript does not specify the date of that meeting.
