Jackson County set a public hearing for Aug. 25 at 9:00 a.m. to consider a replacement private on-site sewage disposal system ordinance, Environmental Health Director Elizabeth Townsend told the board. Townsend said the new ordinance would replace ordinances 250 and 88 and would incorporate state or DNR changes as applicable once those clarifications are available.

"So I just need to request a public hearing for August 25 for our private sewage disposal system ordinance," Townsend said, asking the board to schedule the hearing. Board members asked whether new state or DNR stipulations were already included; Townsend said some changes are expected and she will circulate the PDF of DNR updates to the board when received. The board approved the motion to set the public hearing by voice vote.
