Summary
John of MidAmerican Energy reported that "we do have all 54 turbines in the project commissioned at this point," but said punch-list work for Vestas and restoration remain; he had no firm date for ADLS lighting and deferred a roads-turnover question to JD.
John, a representative from MidAmerican Energy, briefed the board on the county’s wind project and described it as largely operational, while noting remaining work.
"We do have all 54 turbines in the project commissioned at this point," John said, calling the project a success while adding that some punch-list items for Vestas remain. He said restoration work will resume in spring to finish site restoration.
Board members asked about ADLS lighting (a lighting/navigation system referenced in the discussion). John said he needed to get the latest information and indicated he would follow up; another board member suggested February as a tentative timeframe for a tower or related ADLS work. On a question about whether roads had been turned over to the county, John said JD — who has been working on negotiations with MidAmerican’s director of engineering — would be the best person to provide the technically correct answer.
No formal action was taken on the MidAmerican project at this meeting. The board thanked John for the regular updates he has provided over recent weeks.
