Mount Kisco schedules public hearing and work session on BESS moratorium
Summary
The Board scheduled a public hearing on a proposed moratorium on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for Sept. 4, 2024 and set a related work session for Sept. 9, 2024 to discuss the legislation.
The Village/Town of Mount Kisco Board of Trustees scheduled a public hearing and a work session in August to consider a proposed moratorium on Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).
Deputy Mayor Theresa Flora moved (seconded by Trustee Angie Guerra) to schedule a public hearing on the proposed BESS moratorium for Sept. 4, 2024 at 7:00 p.m.; the motion passed unanimously. The Board also scheduled a work session for Monday, Sept. 9, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. to discuss the proposed BESS legislation further.
The transcript records only the scheduling actions; the draft moratorium text and substantive policy details were not included in the meeting minutes. The Board’s scheduling preserves time for additional review and public comment before any formal action.
Next steps: the public hearing on Sept. 4 will allow the Board to receive public input on the proposed moratorium; any decision to adopt a moratorium would require subsequent motions and a vote.
