Commissioners approve placing animal-tethering ordinance on November ballot
Summary
Bertie County commissioners approved a resolution to place a proposed ordinance banning animal tethering on the November general election ballot; the motion passed 4-0 at the March 16 work session.
The Bertie County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing a referendum to put a proposed ordinance banning animal tethering before voters in the November general election. The motion to authorize the referendum was made by Commissioner Michael White, seconded by Commissioner Ron Roberson, and recorded as passing 4-0.
By sending the proposed tethering ban to the ballot, the board chose to let voters decide rather than adopting the ordinance at this meeting. The transcript records the motion and vote but does not contain the text of the proposed ordinance or any on-the-record debate about its provisions or anticipated effects; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
