Separately, the board voted to appoint Jenny Johnson Proetzer as the county’s new Board of Health medical director after Dr. Nicole Sheffield informed the board she must step down.

On regional consolidation, supervisors said one neighboring region is financially struggling and that state officials have been encouraging mergers to preserve service capacity. No final vote on consolidation occurred; the speaker asked for permission to continue participating in regional discussions and to return eventual merger agreements to the county board for signature. Supervisors described Worth County as currently doing \"okay\" financially but acknowledged that mergers could increase the number of counties represented in a governance body and complicate coordination.

On office space for CICS, supervisors reviewed county-owned spaces in the EMA and public‑health buildings and discussed privacy concerns and storage constraints. Staff and supervisors noted a private office in the EMA building is currently used for storage (hand sanitizer and medical supplies) and that some back‑hall offices behind the VA area are filled with county program storage. The board asked staff to inspect county facilities, clear or condense stored materials where feasible, and report back with a consistent Friday space for one‑on‑one client meetings. The supervisor who raised the request said she had suggested Northwood City Hall and local churches as alternatives but the CICS representative preferred a county location.

For public health leadership, the board accepted the resignation of Dr. Nicole Sheffield as medical director and approved Jenny Johnson Proetzer (a doctor of nursing practice and Northwood native) to fill the role. The board moved and seconded the appointment and approved it by voice vote; no salary or contract details were read into the record at the meeting.

The board asked that staff continue to coordinate with regional partners on consolidation proposals and to return any formal agreements or bylaws to the board for final consideration.","Supervisors discussed a possible regional consolidation of mental-health regions, the need to find regular office space for CICS services, and appointed Jenny Johnson Proetzer as the county's new Board of Health medical director after Nicole Sheffield stepped down.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6586400,"Worth County approves utility permits for Worthwhile Solar Farm West LLC and Worthwhile Wind LLC after discussion of land use and substation plans",295,270000,565000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5528971-18506db7b69714ac82eec040719aca6f&start=270&end=565","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5528971-18506db7b69714ac82eec040719aca6f/thumbnail_270000.jpg","/articles/6586400/Worth-County/Iowa/Worth-County-approves-utility-permits-for-Worthwhile-Solar-Farm-West-LLC-and-Worthwhile-Wind-LLC-after-discussion-of-land-use-and-substation-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6586400-24e735f1dbc9244bb77cd8512c8d0b9f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770872553&Signature=cw-kWgfa3JmHDYz9JN0JysGaMYgi50p6j1OpVdiHXtY6l4fx47c2mt87QhDqfWCjeoKf1dZtO2zleNOXbNYPXun33ztnqk7l8Ck6~ZjkHuYWuvHdYBN~G-LrGTt~2YyRwfdpcCF-PqaMLIRbb0yTeJNLWXtO4dFJnKwp9cvJvl3jHYLwSC3cLslMDnA5H-CgxqzD1yTnMDTpz5IwztsNlWT91FezEvAHo0NSFTPi~xWfARsOJFneyhgUaBjs1aeinwvtLsW5CWdh1WnZHtjzuwS9xN70QeUw6JFLckw-DNz~NGmqnR~B-SIBD8z4uRhh1SPXyCsTZmnNsDBxEM5Ftw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Worth County supervisors approved utility permits for Worthwhile Solar Farm West LLC and Worthwhile Wind LLC during their regular meeting; the permits authorize conduit/boring work related to proposed solar and wind projects. The board voted to approve both permits after brief discussion about project status and related infrastructure.

Supervisors said the projects have progressed through state permitting and that utility hookups are in place, though local construction start dates were not specified. Officials noted an ITC substation plan near the sites remains in development and ownership of the substation will be transferred to ITC when built. The board also discussed driveway configuration concerns raised by a landowner and the need for coordination with utility planners.

The board heard that some on-the-ground activity — posts and initial field work — has occurred and that contractors have been cutting across fields to perform early site work and ground testing. Supervisors described the conduit installed to date as \"empty conduit\" (a nonfunctional tube placed prior to final equipment installation) and said some conduit work is located near other proposed lines.

Supervisors discussed potential land‑use and tax consequences if large portions of farmland are taken into utility use. One supervisor referenced prior legislation and county guidance sent in 2021 about how certain utility or energy site statuses affect tax treatment; specifics of any tax change or schedule were not provided in the meeting. Estimates circulating among supervisors and landowners put the potential project footprint at a wide range; one speaker said rumors put the spread \"anywhere from 2 to 6\" (units not specified) for some parcels, while other comments referenced much larger acreage being discussed by developers but without firm figures.

Board members asked staff to keep them informed about any formal start dates, transfers of ownership for the substation, and any formal rezoning needs; no rezoning or land‑use application decisions were made at the meeting. The board approved the two utility permits by motion and roll call (see 'Actions' below).","Worth County supervisors approved utility permits for Worthwhile Solar Farm West LLC and Worthwhile Wind LLC, authorizing empty conduit/bored crossings for infrastructure. Supervisors discussed state approvals, an ITC substation proposal, possible tax/status changes for farmland, and uncertainty about project start dates and acreage.","actionData","errors"]
