Pike County Fiscal Court held a first reading of a proposed road ordinance that would set a 15 mph speed limit on Ziegler Drive, Judge Jones announced.

An attendee submitted petition pages in support of the lower speed limit; the transcript records "about a dozen signatures" on multiple pages. Judge Jones explained that as a first reading the ordinance will be advertised and scheduled for a second reading after required notice and publication.

No action or vote was taken on the ordinance at the meeting. Commissioners did not debate the merits on the record beyond confirming the petition and the next procedural step.

Local residents or petition organizers wishing to follow or comment on the ordinance should monitor county notices for the advertised second reading.
