Edgar County schedules study sessions to update battery and wind ordinances
Summary
County staff and commissioners said they plan to update the county’s battery storage and wind-energy ordinances and to present standalone proposals at an upcoming study session in August or September.
Edgar County commissioners said they expect to move forward with updated ordinances for battery energy storage and wind turbines, scheduling standalone proposals for an upcoming study session.
Lisa, referencing communications with the county attorney, said the attorney is available and that she had suggested presenting separate battery and wind ordinance proposals for an August or September study session. County staff and a board member also discussed logistics for holding the study session in a community room, with timing (morning or evening) to be determined.
Josh and other staff confirmed the county intends to run the battery ordinance and then update the wind ordinance next month. The county attorney’s involvement was noted; no formal ordinance language or vote occurred at the meeting. Commissioners also asked staff to arrange use of a community room at Prospect and to confirm whether the session should be held in the morning or evening.
No formal action to adopt ordinance language was taken; the meeting discussion set the schedule and responsibility for drafting and presenting the proposals for board consideration at the study session.
