Summary

Committee members attending a Land & Water meeting described Bill Johnson's presentation as positive; he will present the update to the full county board and a feasibility study is expected in coming weeks.

Committee members who attended a Land & Water meeting said they heard a positive report from Bill Johnson and expect a feasibility study to be completed in the coming weeks.

Attendees said the requested funding was reduced from the original ask but that sponsors hoped for a favorable Senate vote around March 17–19. Members said contingency planning was underway in case an EU-related contract scenario changed; Bill Johnson and others are discussing alternative markets and fuel sourcing, including outreach to other carriers.

Bill Johnson is scheduled to present the item to the full county board so the entire board is "abreast" of developments, according to committee comments. Committee members also noted a separate meeting on carbon credits scheduled for March 23 to receive an update.

No formal county action was taken at the committee meeting; the item was reported as correspondence and will be presented to the full board.
