Commission votes to remove 144th Street discussion item about Whispering Creek Farms
Summary
After procedural debate about recognition of speakers, commissioners approved an amendment to the agenda to remove the discussion of proposed improvements on 144th Street for Whispering Creek Farms LLC; the amendment passed 5-1.
The commission amended its agenda to remove a scheduled discussion item about proposed improvements on 144th Street tied to Whispering Creek Farms LLC.
The presiding commissioner moved to delete the item from the agenda; a point of order about speaking order prompted additional comments from commissioners about procedure and respect for those waiting in the public comment queue. County counsel advised that the chair should recognize those waiting before proceeding; after recognizing commissioners, the motion to amend the agenda was put to a roll call vote and the amendment passed, 5-1.
Following the vote, resident Larry Yeatman, whose property abuts the project area, addressed the commission during the public-comment period and thanked commissioners for their time and analysis, noting that the work had identified a 'dead end' issue related to a Smithville city road. The commission indicated the 144th Street discussion would be rescheduled for a future meeting when more parties could attend.
The motion to remove the item was recorded as passing by majority vote and does not constitute a final decision on the merits of the proposed improvements; the transcript records the procedural amendment and a public comment from a directly affected resident.
