Committee approves ordinance setting County Board meetings to 7 p.m.
Summary
The committee approved an ordinance to amend MCKC Chapter 2.02(3) to set County Board regular meetings to 7 p.m.; supporters said constituents requested earlier times while others warned later meetings may be more accessible. Attorney Joseph Cardamone said the change could take effect with the new Board in April.
The Kenosha County Legislative Committee approved an ordinance on Feb. 18 to amend MCKC Chapter 2.02(3) so that County Board regular meetings start at 7 p.m.
Supervisor Gabe Nudo explained constituents had requested an earlier start to board meetings. Supervisor Stephanie Knezz said she preferred keeping meetings accessible to as many people as possible and worried an earlier start might reduce participation; Supervisor Mark Nordigan indicated he would support a 7 p.m. start and suggested committee meetings could move nights to improve attendance.
Nordigan moved to set the start time and amended his motion to a 7 p.m. start; the amended motion passed on an "All Aye" vote. Attorney Joseph Cardamone said the change "could go in effect with the new Board in April." The ordinance amends the county code section cited in the agenda; the transcript does not record specific outreach or rulemaking steps beyond committee approval.
