Supervisors lay over amended resolution rejecting renaming of Lake Ontario after debate
The board considered an amended resolution rejecting a federal renaming of Lake Ontario. Supervisor Yapke spoke in support of the rejection, saying such actions "create chaos, disruption, and distraction" and argued the county's name and the lake deserve respect. Other supervisors and the chair agreed to lay the resolution over to the next meeting so members could review the amendment in more detail.

The clerk and members confirmed they were considering the amended text, and the chair explained that because the item was laid over it will be taken up next month. The transcript records the exchange and the chair's procedural ruling that discussion will resume later; the board did not adopt a final action on the substance at this meeting.
