Levy Court schedules hearings on sewage-district extensions and introduces budget amendment and streetlight district

Kent County Levy Court on March 10, 2026, approved several procedural items that set upcoming public hearings. The court approved resolution 41-46 to call a public hearing on a proposal to extend Kent County sewage disposal district number 1 (Aguila Farms, Chesil area). The motion carried by roll call, recorded as 7 ayes.

Vice President Scott moved the motion for resolution 41-46; the motion was seconded and approved by the court. The record shows the court accepted the resolution to call a public hearing; commissioners did not take public testimony on the extension at this meeting.

The court also introduced resolution 41-47, another proposal to extend Kent County sewage disposal district number 1 pursuant to section 4606, chapter 46, title 9 of the Delaware Code, and scheduled the public hearing for March 24, 2026 at 7 p.m. The agenda item announcing the hearing cites the relevant state statutory provision.

Commissioner Pepper introduced ordinance LC 26-05 for a fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment and set a public hearing for March 24, 2026 at 7 p.m. During the introduction, the presenter clarified that the amendment applies to the current operating budget: "We're amending this year's 2025," the presenter said, noting this is not an amendment to next year's budget but to the year currently under review.

Vice President Scott introduced resolution 41-48 to establish Carpenters Bridge Crossing Streetlight District Number 154 and scheduled a March 24 public hearing.

These items are procedural steps that schedule formal hearings where the public may testify; no final decisions on the extensions, budget amendments or the streetlight district were made at this meeting.
