Sections:

2.52.010    Correction of errors.

2.52.010 Correction of errors.

The Crook County counsel’s office is authorized to make changes to adopted resolutions, orders, and ordinances of Crook County (including copies of the County Code published online) and other similar documents to correct typos, scrivener’s errors, and other such inaccuracies. The procedure for doing so is as follows:

(1) When a typo, scrivener’s error, or other such inaccuracy is discovered, and in the opinion of the county counsel such inaccuracy is sufficiently problematic to warrant being corrected, the county counsel’s office will correct the inaccuracy and prepare a new copy of the document.

(2) The county counsel’s office will present the proposed corrections to the commissioners for their review. The proposed corrections will be accompanied by a written statement from the county’s attorney listing the changes being proposed. A corrected copy of the document may be signed by the county commissioners without the need to present the document at a meeting of the county court.

(3) If the proposed corrected document is signed by all three commissioners, the county counsel’s office is authorized to promulgate the corrected document. This includes, subject to the county clerk’s approval, recording the document in the records of the county clerk.

(4) If the proposed corrected document is not signed by all three commissioners within 21 days of being first presented for their consideration, the proposed corrections are considered rejected.

(5) If any document is altered according to the provisions of this section, the county counsel’s office will submit an order or resolution to a meeting of the county court, as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay, which order or resolution will describe the changes made and include the written statement described in subsection (2) of this section.
