County attorney says wind ordinance draft and notes labor-preference language is permissive

Edgar County Board · July 29, 2026

Summary

State's attorney said he will draft a wind ordinance within months and included language preferring Tri-Trades agreement language where legal, but noted a preference cannot be required by statute.

State's Attorney told the board he would "move on to the wind ordinance" and hoped to have a draft within the next two months. He said he incorporated a provision to prefer the Tri-Trades agreement (union labor) but made clear that it would be a preference, not a legal requirement.

Board members asked whether such language could be enforced; the attorney responded that it cannot be required by statute and would instead be a negotiable preference at the building-permit phase. No formal action was taken on the wind ordinance at this meeting.
