Several other policy items came up during the Oct. 30 forum that the board asked legislators to track.
Election integrity: Supervisor Blaine Dunn urged stricter registration requirements, suggesting proof of U.S. citizenship comparable to a passport for voters who register by showing a utility bill. "If you vote, you should be able to prove that you're a U.S. citizen," he said. Legislators did not adopt a formal position but noted the topic would draw debate if advanced at the state level.
Solar siting and local control: Delegates and supervisors warned against state preemption of local zoning for large solar arrays and discussed alternatives such as rooftop or parking-lot solar to reduce farmland impacts. Several speakers asked for protections that ensure counties retain primary control over where large‑scale solar is located.
Trucking and infrastructure: Chair Josh Ludwig briefed the group on a U.S. House measure to permit heavier and longer trucks on highways. Speakers said potential benefits (fewer trucks and lower emissions) must be weighed against bridge and pavement costs and safety concerns; some suggested further study and engagement with trucking groups before taking a board position.
No formal board votes were taken on these items; staff and legislators agreed to follow up with technical materials and legal guidance.
