Updated Schedule for Draft Renewable Energy Ordinance

Navajo County has an updated schedule for the draft Ordinance for Renewable Energy Generation Facilities. Thanks very much to Greg Loper for providing this information.

• Thursday, August 19: The Planning & Zoning Commission hearing for August 19 (tomorrow) has been canceled.
• Tuesday, August 24: There is an item on next Tuesday’s (August 24) Board of Supervisors agenda for the Board to provide direction to staff on the draft Ordinance. The meeting begins at 9:00 a.m.
  
  The agenda item is NOT a public hearing. That is, it is not open to the public to speak and there will not be any public input during the discussion of the item.
  
  However, the public CAN speak to the draft Ordinance (or to anything) during the “Call to the Public” portion of the agenda. It is at the beginning of the meeting. Speakers are limited to 5 minutes each. Note that the Board is prohibited to respond to anything brought up during the “Call to the Public”.
  
  If you want to speak during the "Call to the Public," be sure to  fill out a sign-up sheet before the meeting and  give it to the staff.

• Thursday, September 16: At this point the next public hearing is scheduled before the Planning & Zoning Commission on Thursday, September 16, 2010 – beginning at 6:00 p.m. (at the Navajo County Board of Supervisors’ Chambers at the County Complex in Holbrook).  The  staff hopes to make a new draft Ordinance available prior to the hearing.
