Montrose Commissioners Advance Wildlife Ordinance

Montrose County commissioners approved the first reading of an ordinance concerning non-native wildlife.

What happened

The county commission took the measure through its first reading. That is an initial step in the county’s consideration of the ordinance, rather than final approval.

What the action means

The first-reading vote moves the proposal forward in the county’s legislative process. The title identifies the ordinance as addressing non-native wildlife, but the available record does not describe the rules, animals or activities covered by the measure.

What comes next

The ordinance remains subject to additional county action before it can be treated as finally approved. The next stage could include further consideration by the commissioners and a later decision on the measure.

Montrose County’s commissioners are the public officials responsible for considering the ordinance. The county has identified the action as approval of the first reading, not as final adoption.
