Marion County board accepts appeal in Administrative Review Case #25-026 and schedules public hearing

The Marion County Board of Commissioners voted March 25 to accept an appeal of a hearings officer’s decision in Administrative Review Case #25-026, filed by Denise Burnham, and directed staff to set a public hearing at a later date.

Commissioner Kevin Cameron moved to accept the appeal and schedule a public hearing. Commissioner Danielle Bethell seconded the motion; Commissioner Colm Willis joined the recorded vote in the affirmative and the motion carried unanimously.

The transcript lists Austin Barnes in connection with the administrative review on the Public Works agenda; the record does not include further factual findings or a statement of grounds for the appeal during the board action recorded in these segments. The board’s action was procedural: accepting the appeal for further consideration and establishing that a hearing will be scheduled.

Next steps: a public hearing will be set for a future meeting to review Administrative Review Case #25-026. The transcript does not specify a date for the hearing or further evidentiary steps.
