Rock Falls board adopts resolutions backing statewide transportation funding, seeks county moratorium on unapproved data centers
Summary
The Town of Rock Falls approved two resolutions June 9: one urging comprehensive transportation funding at the state level and another petitioning Lincoln County to enact a temporary moratorium on unapproved data center projects. Both measures passed unanimously and will be forwarded to state and county officials.
The Town of Rock Falls Town Board on June 9 adopted two resolutions addressing transportation funding and local land-use concerns.
Chairman Neubauer moved to adopt Resolution #060 920 26-1, described in the meeting as "supporting a comprehensive and sustainable transportation funding solution." Supervisor Swan seconded the motion, which carried. Clerk Chambers was directed to transmit the adopted resolution to the Governor's Office, the State Senate and State Assembly.
The board then considered Resolution #060 920 26-2, described as a petition asking the Lincoln County Board to pass an interim control ordinance imposing a moratorium on data centers that have not yet received county approval. Chairman Neubauer moved to adopt the resolution; Supervisor Niersel seconded the motion and it carried. Clerk Chambers was instructed to forward the minutes and the adopted resolution to the Lincoln County Clerk.
The items were recorded as formal actions with motions and seconds on the record; the minutes state both motions "carried," and the clerk will handle distribution to the named state and county offices. The board did not record further debate, amendments, or a vote tally in the minutes beyond the motions being carried.
What happens next: the transportation-resolution packet will go to the Governor's Office and the town's state legislative delegation for their consideration. The moratorium petition will be presented to the Lincoln County Board for any county-level action; the town's resolution requests the county adopt an interim ordinance, which would require county deliberation and possible formal adoption at the county level.
Officials present did not specify timelines for county or state responses in the minutes.
