Motion to delete Chapter 5 of Floyd County conservation ordinance dies; supervisors table second reading
Summary
Supervisors debated Floyd County Ordinance 2026-02 governing county conservation areas; an attempt to remove Chapter 5 failed for lack of a second and the Board tabled the ordinance's second reading until after the July 7 Conservation Board meeting.
A proposal to remove Chapter 5 from Floyd County Ordinance 2026-02 failed for lack of a second during the Board’s June 23 meeting, and the supervisors voted 3-0 to table the ordinance’s second reading until after the Conservation Board meets July 7.
Supervisor Frank Rottinghaus introduced the motion to remove Chapter 5 from Ordinance 2026-02, which would establish rules and regulations for areas under the control of Floyd County Conservation. That motion received no second and therefore did not advance. Rottinghaus and Supervisor Boyd Campbell then moved to postpone the ordinance’s second reading to allow the Conservation Board to review proposed language; the motion to table carried unanimously.
Because the Board did not adopt Resolution No. 22-26, the ordinance was not enacted at this meeting. The Board’s action keeps the proposed ordinance pending additional review by the Conservation Board; the County will revisit the second reading after that board’s meeting.
The transcript does not record detailed arguments for or against the proposed deletion of Chapter 5, nor does it quote members of the Conservation Board. The Board’s stated next step is to defer final action until after the Conservation Board’s July 7 meeting.
