Court approves first reading of ordinance on street‑legal special‑purpose vehicles; one magistrate dissents

The Whitley County Fiscal Court approved the first reading of Ordinance 2025‑06, described on the agenda as pertaining to street‑legal special purpose vehicles. Magistrate Scotty Harrison moved the first reading; the motion was seconded and recorded as approved with Magistrate Edmondo Cima voting no. The minutes record the vote as a contested first reading but do not include debate text or ordinance language in the provided transcript excerpt.

The court's minutes indicate the first reading passed and next procedural steps typically include scheduling a second reading; the minutes do not record a date for further consideration. The transcript records the procedural vote and the dissent but provides no explanatory remarks from Cima in the excerpt. The clerk or county staff would be the contact for obtaining the ordinance text and any materials submitted for public review prior to the second reading.
