No action taken on wind farm term sheet

(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission took no action Monday on the term sheet for the proposed Soldier Creek Wind Farm.

That followed two public meetings last week where residents voiced their opinion about the proposed project, with most speaking in opposition.

Following a 60-minute executive session Monday with windfarm attorney Jim Neeld by phone, Commission Chairman Gary Scoby announced that Commissioners are still reviewing the public comments from last week and still in negotiations with Florida-based NextEra Energy Resources.

The term sheet was released April 1 following months of negotiations between the county and NextEra Energy.

The 16-page document lays out the rules and regulations for the construction, operation and ultimately dismantling of the 300-megawatt wind farm.

In other business, Commissioners received three bids to repair the roof of the Pioneer Building. The bids ranged from around $33,000 to more than $99,000. No action was taken.

And the Commission approved the purchase of a new roll-off container for the landfill from Downing Sales and Service in the amount of $18,445. Funding will come from the capital outlay fund.
