Summary

Wayne County board members tested the current LESA scorecard on two local farms and voted to compare their scores with other counties before deciding whether to change the county's scoring system.

At the April 15 meeting board members ran two Wayne County farms through the current LESA (Land Evaluation and Site Assessment) scorecard to check scoring accuracy. Staff reported the exercise and the board decided it wanted to compare its scoring outcomes with those of other counties before considering changes to the county scorecard.

Members said cross-county comparison would help determine whether local adjustments to LESA are warranted; no formal change to the county LESA system was proposed or voted on at the meeting. Staff will follow up by collecting comparative scoring from peer counties and returning with recommendations at a future meeting.
