Narrative Summary
Summary
York County Council held a regular meeting on April 20, 2026 with all seven members present (Christi Cox absent for the first portion). The agenda was heavily weighted toward land use, with seven rezoning cases advancing through second or third readings alongside a slate of consent-style administrative items. Council also received County Manager Josh Edwards's FY27 budget presentation, which proposes no millage rate increase for the general fund. A golf cart ordinance for the Baxter Village Traditional Neighborhood District passed on second reading 5–2 after a failed amendment to expand its scope countywide.
