Board authorizes advertisement for public hearing on bamboo ordinance update
Summary
Supervisors authorized advertising a revised bamboo ordinance that clarifies enforcement and raises fines; the action recorded in the transcript is a motion to advertise for a public hearing, but the transcript does not include a vote tally or the hearing date.
The board reviewed a proposed amendment to the township's bamboo ordinance that would clarify enforcement procedures and increase fines for violations, and a motion was made to advertise the ordinance for public hearing.
A staff member (speaker 8) summarized the amendment: the revised ordinance treats planting or growing bamboo as a summary offense and includes notice-and-removal steps with escalating offenses if property owners fail to remove bamboo after notice. The amendment also increases the fines associated with violations.
The Chair (speaker 1) moved "to authorize for a public hearing" for the proposed ordinance (referenced in the transcript as "Ordinance 2026-2" in the meeting exchange). The transcript records the motion but does not include a roll-call or final tally in the supplied segments.
Next steps: staff will advertise the proposed ordinance and schedule a public hearing so residents can comment; the transcript does not record the hearing date or a recorded vote on the ordinance itself.
