Board members debated whether to have the Berkeley Group draft a local battery energy storage ordinance (rather than start with county legal counsel), citing anticipated state law changes from Richmond and the need to preserve local control over siting and payment agreements. The board agreed to proceed with drafting assistance from the Berkeley Group, subject to review by the county attorney; roll call produced a 6–2 vote in favor.
