The Sac County Board of Supervisors met in regular session with all members present, Rick Hecht, Chairman, presiding. The minutes of the last meeting were approved as submitted.
It was moved by Drake and seconded by Stock to approve agenda as posted. Ayes all, motion carried.
There was some discussion regarding setbacks for wind turbines around the area known as the Prairie Peddler. A recommendation from Region XII Council of Governments suggested adding language for that purpose. It was moved by Drake and seconded by Stock to add Item “G” in Section 6.14.047, paragraph 3, to include “event centers” which is defined as a venue used for public or private events and to set the date for the second reading of the wind turbine ordinance for June 19, 2018. Ayes all, motion carried.
Supervisor Rick Hecht stated that he was disappointed when he learned that some of the people opposing the wind turbines suggested that the Board had already made up their minds before hearing the input at the public hearing. He also stated that this decision was probably the most difficult one to make in his years as supervisor.
The Board took up the canvass for the June 5, 2018 Primary Election and offer the following results: REPUBLICAN BALLOT; U.S. Representative, Dist 4 – Cyndi Hanson-221, Steve King – 610*; State Governor – Kim Reynolds – 728*; Secretary of State – Paul D.
