Bright Night to send revised SIP/PILOT draft June 29; Sherman County plans July 15 response
Summary
Sherman County minutes record that Bright Night will send a revised draft by the week of June 29 and the county expects to be ready to respond on July 15; no formal vote was taken and commissioners emphasized safety conditions for any agreement.
During the June 24 work session, Sherman County recorded two near-term deadlines for the Bright Night SIP/PILOT negotiations. Bright Night was recorded as agreeing to send a revised draft "hopefully by the beginning of the week of June 29," and the county said it would be prepared to respond on July 15.
The minutes record county priorities the draft should reflect: $7,000 per megawatt (the payment rate the county maintained), a community benefit totaling $1.75 million, a 15-year term, two annual thermal drone flights, and an access road outside the project fence. Commissioners said they could not accept a deal without the access road and that they might accept a reduced payment if the company funds the road construction.
No formal vote or signed commitment is recorded in the minutes; the session produced only a set of county conditions and a schedule for the next draft and county response.
