(Red Oak, Iowa) – The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors are set to hold public hearing Tuesday, on the 2^nd reading of revisions to the Solar Power Zoning Ordinance. The hearing takes place as part of the Board’s regular weekly meeting, beginning at 8:30-a.m., in the Courthouse Supervisor’s Meeting Room. Last week, the Board approved the 1^st reading that made language in the Ordinance more consistent and removed unneeded definitions. They also added some sections with regard to the availability of funds for decommissioning, ground cover, and noise.

In other business, the Montgomery County Board of Supervisor’s will act to Swear-In Jill Ozuna as the Montgomery County Auditor and Commissioner of Elections. She will succeed Stephanie Burke, who resigned to take a job with the Stanton Community School District. Ozuna will fill the seat by appointment, effective August 1^st, and until at least the General Election in November.

The Montgomery County Supervisor’s will also act on: A request for use of the Courthouse lawn on Aug. 20^th, for the Red Oak Farmer’s Market; Approving an ARPA funding request for the Law Enforcement Center LED lighting upgrade. MidAmerican Energy is providing the County with an incentive that pays for 25 percent ($8,600) of the project. The cost to replace the fixtures is around $34,400. It’s estimated the new lighting would save the county around $7,634 per year.

Snyder and Associates Engineer Dave Sturm will provide the Board with a proposal for pipeline inspection, and the Board will act on approving an abatement for a County-owned parcel.
