Summary

During public comment residents asked about a moratorium and whether the Wind and Solar Ordinance committee meetings would be public; the minutes state John Lancaster said 'It will not be a public meeting' though earlier in the minutes Lancaster was recorded as absent.

Several members of the public used the meeting's public-comment period to ask about a moratorium and the transparency of a Wind and Solar Ordinance committee. Deb Grider asked about the moratorium and Todd Glancy sought clarification on whether meetings of the Wind and Solar Ordinance committee would be open to the public.

The minutes record John Lancaster as stating, "It will not be a public meeting." That statement creates an internal inconsistency in the official minutes because Lancaster was recorded earlier as absent; the commission minutes do not reconcile that discrepancy. The transcript does not include further discussion or a formal determination about the committee's public-meeting status at this session.
