HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Board of Reno County Commissioners Chair Ron Hirst said the commission plans to look again at proposed wind farm regulations next month.
"February 9, after the regular commission meeting, right now we have scheduled a work session to review those," Hirst said. "The commission will discuss those. Public Works will present the version and then we will be working on that after the regular commission meeting on February 9."
The intent is to hammer out something they can agree on and get this moving.
"The time frame is not set in stone," Hirst said. "There could be a possibility to take this up on February 23 and we'd allow some public input, limited public input at that time, should that time frame be able to be met."
The intent would be to allow the public its opportunity to speak before any final vote is taken.
"We will probably set up a specific time frame in the meeting to talk about any wind regulations that the public wants to talk about," Hirst said.
That would be at whatever meeting any final action would happen in. That could be as soon as later in February, or could be pushed back depending on how much agreement they can get in their study session February 9.
