Summary
The Poweshiek County Board of Supervisors on April 9 set public hearing dates for revised solar and nuisance ordinances after receiving revised drafts from the county sanitarian; first reading is scheduled for April 20 and second reading for May 7.
The Poweshiek County Board of Supervisors on April 9 set public hearings for revised solar and nuisance ordinances after J.D. Griffith, the county Sanitarian/Zoning official, presented updated drafts.
Griffith told the board he had made revisions previously requested by supervisors and asked the board to publish notice and set the first reading for April 20 and the second reading for May 7. The board agreed to publish notice and place the ordinances on the April 20 agenda for first reading.
The board did not take final action on the ordinances on April 9; setting the readings formalizes the public-notice and hearing schedule and gives residents an opportunity to comment before any adoption vote. The county will publish the notices before the April 20 meeting, and the board is expected to consider public comment and any further changes at those readings.
No specific substantive changes in the drafts were detailed in the meeting minutes; Griffith presented the revised language for the board’s review and scheduling.
The hearings are scheduled as the next procedural steps; the board will consider the ordinances at the published readings and may adopt, amend, or postpone them following public input.
