ACTION REQUESTED:

Adopt the Union County Local Emergency Planning Committee Amended Bylaws.

PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:

None.

BACKGROUND:

Any amendments to the Union County Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) bylaws must be voted and approved by the committee before the Board of County Commissioners adopts the amendment. The LEPC approved an amendment to the bylaws in its February 5, 2025 meeting. The amendment was to meet Emergency Planning Committee Right-to-Know (EPCRA) Section 324 which requires local LEPCs to include a section in their bylaws that addresses public information requests. The requirement and process is specific and must follow the regulations as indicated in Section 324. The amendment has been reviewed and approved by County legal staff. The public information request section is identified as Article IX in the bylaws.  

FINANCIAL IMPACT: 

None.
