Pottawattamie supervisors grant preliminary approval for RWE Clean Energy wind development agreement
Summary
The board gave preliminary approval to a development agreement with RWE Clean Energy regarding the Pottawattamie Wind Project, subject to final approvals; the vote split 3–1 with one member absent.
The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors granted preliminary approval for a development agreement with RWE Clean Energy, LLC related to the proposed Pottawattamie Wind Project, subject to final review and approval.
The action was recorded following a closed-session recommendation from the County Attorney. The motion to grant preliminary approval passed with Supervisors Brian Shea, Susan Miller and Keith Jones voting in favor; Supervisor Tim Wichman voted no and Supervisor Jeff Jorgensen was absent for that recorded vote.
County minutes list the approval as "preliminary" and condition it on completion of further steps before a binding development agreement takes effect. The board did not record final terms in the minutes; county staff will return with the final agreement for formal action.
The preliminary approval allows staff to continue negotiations with RWE and to prepare any contract documents, easement maps and related permits that may be necessary before final board action.
