Sheriff raises noise‑ordinance concern as wind‑project activity begins before dawn
Summary
Sheriff Jim Heflin reported a jail population of 62 and urged consideration of a county noise ordinance after wind‑project activity began near residents at about 4:30 a.m.; he raised the issue during his department report.
Sheriff Jim Heflin reported an inmate count of 62 and told commissioners he has received complaints about wind‑project activity starting at roughly 4:30 a.m. that disturb nearby residents. Heflin suggested the county consider a noise ordinance to address early‑morning activity tied to wind‑project construction or operations; the commissioners took the report for consideration but did not adopt any ordinance at the meeting.
Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer also noted a Safety Committee meeting would follow the commission meeting, which could be a forum to discuss law enforcement, safety and noise concerns related to wind‑project activity.
