Adair County supervisors move to begin repeal of pipeline ordinance after legal review
Loading...
Summary
Citing advice from neighboring Shelby County and counsel from the county attorney, Adair County's Board of Supervisors voted Feb. 18 to begin the process of repealing the county's pipeline ordinance; the auditor will place the repeal on next week's agenda to set a public hearing.
Supervisor Hoadley told the board Feb. 18 that Shelby County had been advised to repeal its pipeline ordinance because it conflicts with federal regulations, and he asked whether Adair County should do the same. County Attorney Larson told the board he agreed that repeal would be in the county's best interest.
On a motion by Wedemeyer, seconded by Hoadley, the board voted unanimously to begin the process of repealing the pipeline ordinance. Auditor Mandy Berg said the repeal would require either three readings of a new ordinance or that the board publish the ordinance and make copies available prior to the first reading, which would allow the board to waive the second and third readings by majority vote. Berg will place the item on the agenda next week to set a public hearing.
The board did not repeal the ordinance at this meeting; it authorized the start of the formal repeal process and scheduled further public process and notice consistent with Iowa's procedural requirements.
