HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Board of County Commissioners on Wednesday tabled a zoning case involving the Mary Magdalene House at 7201 East 4th, because they wanted to talk about it with all of the commissioners there.
"Since we have three today, there's AG's opinions that say, a majority of those present is enough to pass normal business," said County Counselor Patrick Hoffman. "Because amending a Planning Commission meeting requires a supermajority, if the commission's interested in amending that, I think it would be more appropriate to wait until we have the full body here, just because then, there would be an unusual situation. Even if we had three, a supermajority of who is here, would that be enough? I think it would be just clearer if you waited."
With that in mind, the three commissioners present voted to table the case until the next meeting on June 26.
