Shawnee County commissioners moved Thursday toward potentially banning unauthorized camping on county property and requiring leashes for dogs in the county’s parks and on its trails. Commissioners Aaron Mays, Kevin Cook and Bill Riphahn heard county counselor Jim Crowl present the first reading of a proposed home rule resolution sponsored by Riphahn regarding unauthorized camping. They then heard Tim Laurent, the county’s parks and recreation director, present the first reading of a proposal sponsored by Commissioner Aaron Mays that would require dogs on park properties to be controlled by leash.
