Morgan County rejects Pawnee Solar road‑use agreement, approves Pivot Solar haul route
Summary
Public Works presented two road‑use agreements for solar projects. Commissioners rejected Pawnee Solar’s proposed haul route over routing concerns and approved Pivot Solar 71, LLC’s road‑use agreement; both votes were 3‑0.
Morgan County Public Works Director Bruce Bass presented two separate road‑use agreements for solar developers Oct. 21. For Pawnee Solar, Bass outlined required submittals and haul routes; commissioners questioned a backroads route and suggested it appeared to avoid a port‑of‑entry. The board voted to reject the Pawnee Solar agreement, citing routing concerns (motion by Commissioner Bernhardt; second by Commissioner Malone; carried 3‑0).
Bass then presented a road‑use agreement and haul route for Pivot Solar 71, LLC and the board approved that agreement (motion by Commissioner Malone; second by Commissioner Bernhardt; carried 3‑0). Bass told the board he had not experienced prior road problems with the companies involved. The decisions require the approved company to meet county road‑use conditions and any required follow‑up documentation.
