DeWitt County Board approves road-use agreement for Santa Anna Township Solar after failed motion to table
Summary
After a failed attempt to table the item, the DeWitt County Board approved a Road Use Agreement with Santa Anna Township Solar, LLC. The vote to approve passed 7–3 following debate about whether Farmer City should act first.
The DeWitt County Board approved a Road Use Agreement with Santa Anna Township Solar, LLC on Sept. 18 after rejecting a motion to table the matter.
Commissioner Carter moved to table the approval, arguing Farmer City had not yet addressed the agreement and the county should wait; that motion failed on a 3–7 vote (Yay: Myers, Ryan, Carter; Nay: Ferguson, Hammer, Prestegaard, Tilley, Walters, Werts, Witte). The original motion to approve the Road Use Agreement, made by Commissioner Prestegaard and seconded by Deerwester, then passed with seven votes in favor and three opposed (Yay: Ferguson, Hammer, Prestegaard, Tilley, Walters, Werts, Witte; Nay: Myers, Ryan, Carter).
The transcript records objections from Carter about proceeding before Farmer City acted; the board voted to move forward despite that concern. No additional conditions tied to the approval were read into the record during the meeting.
