and would need tweaking before finalized. Chair Stenlund opined that other states must have something available that could be built on. In response to item 2), Ms. McKeown offered to look at the City's current ordinance language, and provide model language from the Green Step Cities website that would allow developers to move forward if and when adopted. Ms. McKeown advised that the model language was already available as part of her work with the Department of Energy. Ms. McKeown advised that the City of Rosemount had recently passed a good model ordinance, specifying where they did and did not want solar panels located. In response to item 3), Ms. McKeown noted that this is all so new, CERT's had purposely decided not to be aggregators or developers, in order to provide unbiased information to encourage and address community interest and protect those interests in partnership and provide resources and information as requested, as no one else was serving in that capacity at this time. Carol Rust, representing Knox North Como Presbyterian Church Ms. Rust advised that the church was interested in installing a solar array; and questioned if there was a minimum amount allowed for a building. Ms. Rust advised that the church was considering installing 80-100 panels at this time. Ms. McKeown responded that the minimum was probably five panels, and the same number of subscribers; cautioning that the system could not be built beyond the 120% of the church's current energy use. Member Seigler noted that there was nothing to preclude the church installing solar if they owned it themselves; but Ms. Rust clarified that the church was pursuing community solar options. Ms. Rust stated that they had been told that community solar was more expensive as the community then took more risk and maintained the panels, even though they had yet to determine costs. Ms. Rust advised that the problem was not knowing more information ahead of time before making those decisions; and the lack of information about where to go to get accurate information for non-profits; and asked for Ms. McKeown's assistance. Ms. McKeown advised that she had applicable information with her, and was also available on their website; and should provide the church with the most thorough, unbiased information available at this time. Stuart Roberts Mr. Roberts referenced Bethel Church in Minneapolis, and suggested that Ms. Rust model their program on theirs rather than trying to do their own. Page 13 of 20
