BOARD OF SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS The Grundy County Board of Supervisors met in regular session on September 6, 2016, at 9:00 A.M. Chairperson Smith called the meet-ing to order with the following members pres-ent: Bakker, Ross, Riekena, and Schildroth. Motion was made by Ross and seconded by Riekena to approve the minutes of the previous meeting. Carried unanimously. Chairperson Smith adjourned the meeting to move to the courtroom in the courthouse to ac-commodate the number of visitors for the public hearing. The Grundy County Board of Supervisors re-convened its meeting on September 6, 2016, at 9:05 A.M. Chairperson Smith called the meet-ing to order with the following members pres-ent: Bakker, Ross, Riekena, and Schildroth. Chairperson Smith opened the public hearing regarding an Amendment to Ordinance No. 2009-5 removing Wind Energy Conversion Systems over 100 kilowatts as a principle per-mitted use in the A-2 Agricultural District. She announced that in order to overrule the Plan-ning and Zoning Commission’s recommenda-tion there must be a negative vote of a majority of the supervisors. Motion was made by Bakker to postpone the public hearing to a later time, date, and place to be determined by the Board of Supervisors. Motion died for lack of a second. Laura Hommel, Sue Lynne Freese, Helen Hoffa, Ted Junker, David Strickler, Doug Haren, Charles Cuson, Nancy Rodemann, Susan Mill-er Janssen, Dave Hommel, and Jane Hommel, Grundy County land owners, spoke in favor of the amendment. Paul Thomas, Grundy County land owner, and P. J. Saliterman, EDF Renewable Energy, spoke opposed to the amendment. Auditor Deters read letters and emails from Glen Drap-er, John W. Essig, Essig Farms Corporation, Raymond and Katherine Kirkdorffer, Don and Helen Price, and Alice Draper, opposed to the amendment. After hearing everyone desiring to speak in favor of or against the amendment, the chair-person closed the hearing at 9:44 A.M. Supervisor Schildroth stated that he was not personally comfortable having a wind turbine, but previously the supervisors approved the request for 45 parcels to be rezoned and he could not change his vote in the middle of the Ivester Wind Farm project. Supervisor Riek-ena used an analogy that it would not be his place to stop landowners from harvesting oil if it was discovered under the land in the northeast corner of Grundy County. Supervisor Ross di-rected attention to the flag of the State of Iowa and the ribbon reading "Our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain" and stated that he supports the landowners’ rights to use their property for their benefit. Supervisor Bakker stated that he did not believe that this was the proper time for this to come before the supervi-sors and that he could not consider voting yes or no at this time. Supervisor Smith examined the definition of property rights which includes possession, control, exclusion, enjoyment, and disposition, and stated that she believes that the rights of the landowners should prevail. Motion was made by Riekena and seconded by Ross to reject the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to remove Wind Energy Conversion Systems over 100 kilowatts as a principle permitted use in the A-2 Agricultural District. Roll call vote was as follows: Ayes – Ross, Riekena, Schildroth, and Smith. Nays – none. Bakker voted present. Car-ried 4-0. Chairperson Smith adjourned the meeting to move to the Supervisors’ Room in the court-house. The Grundy County Board of Supervisors re-convened its meeting on September 6, 2016, at 9:55 A.M. Chairperson Smith called the meet-ing to order with the following members pres-ent: Bakker, Ross, Riekena, and Schildroth. Motion was made by Schildroth and sec-onded by Bakker to approve low quote dated September 1, 2016, from AgVantage FS of Waverly, Iowa, for supplying 5,000 gallons of diesel at $1.5504/gallon and 3,000 gallons of gasohol at $1.4096/gallon at its delivery cost for the above-ground fuel tanks at the Secondary Road Department in Grundy Center.

Motion was made by Riekena and second-ed by Schildroth to approve contract docu-ments with Gus Construction of Casey, Iowa, on Bridge No. D-05 replacement Project No. L-RCBD05—73-38 and to authorize the chair-person to sign said documents.
