Chair Cihacek stated he would be interested to see a subscriber agreement and other <br />information that considers risk factors, what the City needs to do to mitigate the <br />risk, how it impacts the financial payout, and other scenarios with both leased and <br />non -leased options. They could then have the City Attorney look at it and consider <br />a revised option to adjust for risk. <br />Member Seigler inquired if the City's flat roofs would be considered small, <br />medium, or large, and if large would be the most efficient. <br />Mr. Weir responded the City's roofs are considered medium and a large roof is the <br />most efficient. Typically, a high school's roof is large and can handle 1 megawatt. <br />Chair Cihacek noted the leases correlate with the rate size. If they reduce the rate <br />size by 10 percent, the lease payment decreases. He also requested a scenario of <br />five to 10 percent less than what is designed so they have the capacity to move <br />panels. <br />Mr. Weir agreed that 10 percent less than the currently designed scenario would be <br />appropriate. <br />Member Misra stated she would also like to know what other rooftops have <br />encountered in terms of liability and other issues. <br />Mr. Culver commented Maplewood has existing rooftop panels and just went <br />through an analysis. He will reach out to them for additional feedback. <br />Mr. Weir agreed to collect the information requested. <br />Member Misra inquired if they use the same type of panel regardless of climate. <br />Mr. Weir commented it is the same panel. After 10 to 15 years, the inverters need <br />replacement. Other than that, not much typically goes wrong. They can withstand <br />a 100 mile per hour hailstorm. <br />7. Ordinance Updates <br />Chair Cihacek requested a report on the changes made from last month to this <br />month on the ordinance updates. <br />Chapter 405 — Noise Control. <br />Mr. Freihammer reported the change to this ordinance included an exemption for <br />City -led projects. The City Council had some concerns regarding whether this <br />should be included in the policy or the ordinance. Staff decided to take the entire <br />policy and include it in the ordinance and put atwo-day exemption limit on projects. <br />The ordinance also defines sewer lining projects, water main or valve work, and <br />high traffic areas. <br />Page 11 of 16 <br />
