DeWitt County Board Anticipates Enel At August Meeting


At various points Thursday night, the DeWitt County Board made preparations for an upcoming meeting with Enel Green Energy - the proprietor of the Alta Farms II wind farm in DeWitt County.

During public participation, Betsy Schiflet called on the Board to be more assertive in its enforcement of violations against County codes by Enel.

 

There was continued conversation Thursday regarding the line of credit for decommissioning of the towers and what institution that line of credit would be held with. State' Attorney Dan Markwell offered his opinion on the County's stance to have a local institution take that on.

 

Joe Witte chairs the Land Use Committee and chimed in with the wording of the ordinance. Markwell clarified some of the questions the County Board brought up earlier this year regarding Enel posting cash. 

 

The Board approved the line of credit with Enel but they will want to hear more from the representatives when they come to the Board next month. 

Board Chair Dan Matthews told Board members Witte would lead the conversation with Enel representatives and encouraged Board members to get any questions they wanted to be asked to him before the meeting next month.
