In Marion County the Concerned Homeowners in Partnership, Inc. (CHIP), in conjunction with Commission Chairman Steve Henning, were instrumental in pursuing the adoption of the Ordinance on 11 July 2000. Many individual residents and groups in our county, the city of Ocala and elsewhere played an important part in this entire process as they testified to commissioners about homeowners' rights. Marion county
residents are aware that Commissioner Judy Johnson offered amendments to
the original Ordinance which were approved unanimously by commissioners.
