Commissioners discuss subdivision rules and new groundwater certification requirement, ask staff to follow up
Summary
The court reviewed proposed subdivision rules and a new groundwater certification requirement for parcels under 10 acres, discussed outreach to a former engineer who has not responded, and instructed staff to obtain firm answers or find another consultant; no formal action was taken.
Commissioners reviewed proposed subdivision rules that would require groundwater certification for subdivisions of less than 10 acres and discussed how the county should route review and approvals.
The court reported that former county engineer Ted Cantor had been asked to assist but has not delivered the requested work; commissioners said they would ask one more time for Cantor to confirm whether he will complete the job and, if not, pursue other options. Participants emphasized the need for an internal protocol for routing subdivision requests among departments (for example whether items go first to road and bridge, the sheriff’s office, or the commissioners).
No motion to adopt new rules or to contract with an alternate consultant was recorded in the transcript. Commissioners passed the item for further follow-up and directed staff to report back with a clear plan.
