During the public‑comment portion of the meeting, Jack McClain asked questions about two buildings on West St. listed in the code enforcement update and proposed several policy changes. McClain suggested mandatory zoning inspections and that a code‑enforcement inspection be required at the time of property purchase.
McClain also urged a moratorium on solar farms in the City of Hillsdale and suggested that city ordinances require a permit for temporary signs. The transcript records McClain's comments as: "Jack McClain suggested a moratorium on solar farms for the City of Hillsdale" and that he "also suggested that the City ordinances ought to require a permit for having a temporary sign."
Commissioner Winter later asked about the process for codifying a moratorium on solar farms, indicating the commission will consider procedure if it chooses to pursue the suggestion. No action or moratorium was adopted at the May 20 meeting.
