Recently, the Greene County Conservation Board approved an updated list of rules and regulations regarding the county parks.
Conservation Director Tanner Scheuermann says County Attorney Thomas Lahen helped to update the rules and regulations that hadn’t been touched or updated for several years. He talks about the other reasons for needing to make lots of changes.
“Reduce the liability for the county on a lot of different things in there, there’s a lot of redundancy and repetition that we took care of too. So that was good to be able to do that. It makes the document a little bit easier to read for the layperson to come up when they have questions about something. A big thank you to (County Attorney) Thomas (Laehn). He was a big help with rewriting those, again it wasn’t necessarily adding and removing, it was a total overhaul, kind of eliminating the old rules and then adopting these new rules.”
Scheuermann points out that these rules and regulations will be posted in different locations within county conservation where the public can see them.
“Thomas again he had some great recommendations to be able to kind of teeth or to enforce a lot of these rules we have to have them posted at either the entrance or an area that’s you know highly visible to the public.”
Scheuermann adds they would still have the ability to enforce the rules if someone were to break them, but by posting the rules it is another step toward public convenience. Click the link below to see all of the rules and regulations for the county parks.
