Supervisor Lesko continues Ranger Energy Center item to Nov. 19 after opposition emerges
Summary
Supervisor Debbie Lesko moved and the board approved a continuance for the Ranger Energy Center (agenda item 5) to Nov. 19 following newly filed opposition and the applicant's request to work with neighbors.
Supervisor Debbie Lesko asked the board to continue the Ranger Energy Center item to Nov. 19, saying she had been informed of opposition and that the applicant wished more time to work with neighbors. The clerk confirmed a registered speaker who intended to testify on the Ranger Energy Center. After a short discussion and a speaker statement urging careful review of the battery storage project’s monitoring, remote control and proximity concerns, the board voted unanimously to continue the item to Nov. 19.
Why this matters: The continuance gives the applicant additional time to meet with neighbors and for staff and the commission to review concerns raised about safety, monitoring and environmental impacts associated with large battery energy storage systems.
