3.B. ADOPTION OF PROCEDURES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
GOVERNING MEETINGS IN 2024
Mr. Mincks stated the next order of business would be the
adoption of the Board’s Rules of Procedures for 2024. He
further stated in addition to the proposed Rules of Procedure
attached to the agenda item. He stated a Board member has
requested including Section 12c. in the Rules which would
prohibit the Board from considering a zoning case if the case
was amended, changed, or had proffered conditions submitted
after notice of the Board’s public hearing on the case appeared
in the newspaper. He further stated this provision had been in
the Board’s Rules for many years but was removed by the Board
in 2020. He stated as was the case prior to 2020, if Section
12c was added back to the Rules, any amendments, changes or
proffered conditions made or submitted for a zoning case after
the newspaper published the notice would mean that the case
could only be considered by the Board at that meeting if the
Board voted unanimously to suspend the Rules. He further stated
a Board member has also requested removal of the word
“nonsectarian” from Section 8(9.) relating to invocations. He
noted Federal courts have consistently ruled that the United
States Constitution requires invocations given for legislative
bodies to be nonsectarian. Accordingly, removal of the word
“nonsectarian” would not alter the legal standard that
invocations should be nonsectarian in nature.
In addition, he stated references to years have been adjusted
to reflect that the proposed Rules of Procedure are for the
2024 calendar year.
Discussion and questions ensued relative to the proposed
changes.
On motion of Mr. Ingle, seconded by Mr. Carroll, the Board
adopted the of procedures of the Board of Supervisors governing
meetings in the 2024 calendar year.

Ayes: Holland, Miller, Ingle, Schneider and Carroll.
Nays: None.
On motion of Mr. Ingle, seconded by Mr. Carroll, the Board

8(9.) relating to invocations. (It is noted a copy of the 2024
