Summary

Board member Darin Myers said discussions about a county solar pilot are in attorney-client review and negotiations are about a month from resolution; any County Office of Development-related work would likely be in 2028–2029 and is not guaranteed.

The board discussed a possible county solar pilot but agreed the topic remains preliminary and legally sensitive.

Darin Myers told the board, “it’s all in attorney-client privilege right now. They are still a month out on the legal pieces and negotiations,” and said that if the pilot proceeds any COD-related activity would be anticipated for 2028 or 2029. Myers stressed there is no guarantee the pilot will happen and the county cannot appropriate funds until the legal and pilot decisions are finalized.

Board members tabled further action at this meeting while awaiting legal guidance and clarification of funding or appropriation authority.
