Madison County board approves second reading to impose temporary moratorium on solar ordinance
Summary
At a special meeting, the Madison County board approved the second reading of a solar ordinance and enacted a temporary moratorium while staff and members work on corrections to the ordinance language.
Madison County supervisors approved the second reading of a solar ordinance and enacted a temporary moratorium to allow time for corrections to the ordinance text. The action was moved by Diane and seconded by Heather; the chair declared the motion carried.
The board said the moratorium will pause implementation while staff and members identify and make necessary edits to the ordinance. “Basically, it’s a moratorium until some more corrections can be made to that,” an unidentified meeting speaker said during the second-reading discussion.
Members did not record detailed amendments during the meeting; the motion before the board was confined to approving the second reading and placing a temporary pause on related permitting or approvals until the revised language returns for consideration. The board did not specify a deadline in the meeting minutes for when staff must return with revised ordinance language.
The action followed routine procedure for second readings: motion by Diane, second by Heather, and a verbal vote carried the measure. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
