Board moves to present charter and codification amendments after staff corrections
Summary
Board agreed to present proposed amendments to the county charter and updated codification, with staff noting omissions to be corrected (District 10 town list and clarifying county attorney 'whole time' language); motion to present passed.
County staff presented proposed amendments to the county charter and accompanying codification updates and fielded questions about omitted town listings and language clarifications.
Clerk (speaker 4) said the amendments incorporated general codes passed earlier and updated references the board had missed in 2022. Committee member (speaker 5) flagged an omission: for District 10 the list included only three of six towns. Staff acknowledged the omission and volunteered to add the missing towns before presentation. Staff and board members also discussed clarifying language about the county attorney's outside practice and the meaning of 'whole time.'
Staff member (speaker 3) moved that the local law be presented with the noted change; the motion was seconded and the board voted to present the local law for the required next step.
The board directed staff to correct the District 10 listing and to refine the 'whole time' language before formal presentation to ensure the charter language accurately reflects current agreements.
