County opens portal for comments on data-center moratorium and BESS ordinance; special meeting slated for Sept. 4
Summary
Commissioners opened an online portal for public comments on a proposed data-center moratorium and an ordinance on BESS. The portal is open for two weeks, and the commission plans to hold a special meeting on Sept. 4 at noon to review comments.
Commissioners told attendees they had opened an online portal to collect public comment on two related matters: a proposed moratorium on a data center and an ordinance concerning BESS (the transcript uses both 'BESS' and 'BSS' in different places). A commissioner asked Pam when the portal opened; the reply was "Today." The chair said the portal would accept comments for two weeks and that the commission would try to review submissions at a meeting on Sept. 4 at noon (noted as a schedule change because Labor Day falls on Sept. 7).
During the public-comment period an attendee asked whether a subcommittee would be formed to help draft the ordinance and whether previously submitted materials needed to be resubmitted through the portal. Commissioners clarified that the two-week portal window applied and indicated a committee could be formed to assist while a moratorium—if passed—was in effect.
