She stated she LaSalle County Board Minutes – January 8, 2009 hopes the board realizes the health issues from the impact of the wind farms have on people who live among them. Life flight announced they will not land among the wind farms if there is a medical emergency. She is also concerned if one of these wind turbines catches fire, because there are no ladder fire trucks in the area. CITIZEN COMMENT Ms. Cheryl Tate from Blackstone, Illinois addressed the board on the health & safety issues pertaining to the wind farms. She stated that the wind farms do not track stray voltage, broken blades, busted towers, or accidents, so they are not sure how many problems there are with the wind towers. She also informed the board about the drying effects of wind towers on the ground, it will increase the ground temperatures affecting the soil and the yields of their crops. She also stated that there is an elderly couple that has been forced from their home for medical side effects from the wind towers; they have been living in a hotel since the beginning of November. She also stated that since the company is a LLC, the profits would be going to foreign countries instead of staying in the United States. She feels there should be a hold on this development. CITIZEN COMMENT Ms. Kim Schertz from Hudson, Illinois addressed the board on the health & safety issues as well as the economic liabilities the wind farms create in the agricultural industry. Ms. Schertz informed the board that a vote for a wind farm is to vote to raise property taxes. Many fields will not be able to be sprayed by crop dusters resulting in crop loss. Ms. Schertz stated that it is the opinion of another state’s attorney from Tazewell County, Stewart Umholtz, informed his board, that if you vote to approve a wind farm and the farmer occurs increased costs and possible crop losses; the board would be responsible for those damages under the unfair business practices if the board doesn’t provide a stipulation to compensate for their reduced yields and increased costs to protect their crops. The noise and lights from the wind towers have been causing health problems. She would like to see a no vote on the upcoming wind farms.
