Vice Chairman Springle moved to adopt the amended Firearms Discharge Ordinance.

o To be adopted at the meeting where it is first introduced, an ordinance or an
action with the effect of an ordinance, or any ordinance amending or repealing an
existing ordinance (except the budget ordinance, a bond order or another
ordinance requiring a public hearing before adoption) must be approved by all
members of the Board of Commissioners. If the proposed measure is approved by
a majority, but not by all the members of the Board, or if the measure is not voted
on at that meeting, it shall be considered at the next regular meeting of the board.
If it then or at any time thereafter within one hundred (100) days of its
introduction receives a majority of the votes cast, the measure is adopted.
Therefore the Board will need to reconsider approval of the amended Firearms Discharge
Ordinance during their next regular meeting:
