Commissioners table crypto-mining resolution after multiple public objections
Summary
After several members of the public voiced opposition, Milam County Commissioners unanimously voted to table a proposed resolution on crypto-mining developments until Dec. 2 for further consideration.
Multiple public commenters spoke against a proposed resolution addressing cryptocurrency mining developments in Milam County on Nov. 25, prompting the court to postpone action.
The minutes list six public commenters tied to item 16 — including Heather Richter, Wendy Sims, Mark Falke, Heather Beal and Mike Niedzwiecki — recorded as speaking "against" the proposal between 10:44 a.m. and 10:59 a.m. Following public comment, Judge Whitmire moved to table the resolution until Dec. 2; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Payne and carried unanimously. The minutes state: "Motion made by Judge Whitmire to table until 12/2, Seconded by Commissioner Payne and motion carried unanimously." The record does not include the precise objections each speaker raised in the minutes beyond the "against" notation.
The item will return to the court's Dec. 2 special meeting for further discussion; the minutes do not record staff recommendations or a draft ordinance/resolution text in the public minutes for Nov. 25.
