Summary

Mercer County commissioners approved the first reading of a Wind Energy section in Chapter 4 of the zoning ordinance and appointed Chris Renner to the Planning & Zoning Board; the minutes show the motion carried unanimously.

On July 1 the Mercer County Commission approved the first reading of a proposed Wind Energy section in Chapter 4 of the county zoning ordinance.

The motion to approve the first reading was moved by Commissioner Casey Voigt and seconded by Commissioner Steve Guenthner; the minutes record the motion carried with all voting aye. The minutes do not include the full ordinance text or detailed provisions in the record, only that the first reading was approved "as presented." The board also appointed Chris Renner to the Planning & Zoning Board by unanimous vote during the same agenda block.

Because the minutes record only the procedural vote and not the ordinance text at length, staff will need to publish the draft ordinance language and schedule any additional readings prior to final adoption.
