Farm right to farm ordinance heads to public hearing
Frederick County commissioners voted to send a right to farm ordinance drafted by a task force to a public hearing. The plan creates a seven member Agricultural Reconciliation Committee to hear complaints and mediate disputes, with health issues routed to a county health officer. The measure, aligning with Carroll County rules, would require disclosure to buyers and apply if municipalities do not block it, with an effective date of January 1, 1997. In other business, the courtesy snow removal program was extended for two more years rather than eliminated.
