Staff recommends adopting building-and-trades code amendments without separate public hearing
Summary
County staff told commissioners legal counsel advised the building-and-trades code amendments to an already-adopted code may not require a separate public hearing; staff proposed cleaning up the item and placing it on new business for adoption next week.
Rusty (staff) briefed the commission on two procedural options for proposed amendments to the building and trades code: adopt the amendments next week without an additional public hearing or defer and rework them for a later hearing.
"It's been determined by legal that since these are amendments to a code that's already been adopted, there's some legalities here where we don't really need to have a public hearing," Rusty (staff) said, urging commissioners for guidance. Legal counsel (Tim, speaker 2) confirmed that proceeding to adoption would be legally acceptable and that any commissioner could request deferral to allow more public input.
Commissioners agreed to leave the item on new business, have staff "clean it up" today, and present it next Wednesday either on consent or as a new-business presentation with Chris at the podium if they wished public explanation. No formal vote was recorded in the excerpt.
