Tama supervisors deadlock on Salt Creek Wind II agreements after negotiations with developer

The Tama County Board of Supervisors deadlocked Sept. 15 on a package of agreements with Salt Creek Wind II, rejecting motions to approve a development agreement, road-use agreement and decommissioning plan by a 2-3 vote after hours of negotiation and public comment. The motion to approve the documents was moved by Supervisor David Turner and seconded by Supervisor Mark Doland; the roll call read Curt Hilmer, nay; David Turner, aye; Heather Knebel, nay; Mark Doland, aye; Curt Kupka, nay, and the motion failed.
