Commissioners place four‑month data‑mining and crypto moratorium resolution on consent calendar
Unidentified Speaker 3 introduced a resolution described as a four‑month moratorium on the data‑mining and cryptocurrency sectors and asked for the board’s support. "This is a resolution that you all have seen several times," the sponsor said, noting prior work on the item.

The sponsor moved to place the resolution on the consent calendar; Unidentified Speaker 2 asked if there was any objection and, without objection, the commission placed item number 1 on the consent calendar for action at a subsequent meeting. No formal vote tally was recorded in the transcript; placement on the consent calendar was announced as approved without objection.

The resolution’s purpose, as presented, is to pause permitting or approvals tied to data‑mining and cryptocurrency operations for four months while staff and legal counsel review rules and potential local impacts. The sponsor said the commission and county attorney “have done our homework” and acknowledged the county attorney assisted with drafting. No amendments or detailed ordinance language appeared in the recorded remarks.

Next steps announced in the meeting: the item was set for the consent calendar, which typically consolidates noncontroversial items for single‑vote approval at the following meeting unless a commissioner removes it for separate discussion. The transcript does not record a subsequent public hearing date or a formal recorded vote on adoption.
