Summary

The board discussed a draft ordinance to address battery energy storage systems (BESS) and decided to table the item to the June work session for additional review and edits.

The board took up old business on a draft ordinance to add battery energy storage system (BESS) provisions to the county code (Appendix B). County staff presented the draft and the board indicated there were outstanding issues that required further review. Chairman Jefferson said the consensus was to table the item until the work session in June so staff and the supervisors could address the remaining concerns.

A motion to table the ordinance passed on a voice/roll-call vote; supervisors agreed to meet in the scheduled work session for detailed follow-up. No substantive policy decisions were made at the meeting; the board directed staff to prepare additional revisions and background material for the discussion.
