The City has been constantly modifying and expanding <br />the no parking areas around the park and ride lots. He stated for the most part the <br />people who live around the fair are being accepting of the 12 -day interruption. <br />Member Misra asked if the City has put up temporary no parking signs. <br />Mr. Culver stated the City Street Maintenance Staff does that a few days before the <br />fair starts around the areas that are problematic or areas with safety issues or fire <br />access areas. He stated during the fair there are not any construction activities done <br />in the southern part by the City. He noted the fair is impactful, but the residents <br />and City have learned to deal with it. <br />Member Misra asked if the impact is mainly parking and no other issues. <br />Mr. Culver indicated that was correct. He stated the Police may have some <br />additional complaints at night regarding noise, but he did not think there was an <br />increase in crime. <br />Mr. Culver reviewed the City Council items that the PWET would be interested in. <br />5. Review of Community Solar Garden Subscription And On Campus Solar <br />Options <br />Mr. Culver explained at their July meeting, the PWET Commission received a <br />presentation from iDeal Energies about their proposal for on campus solar <br />installations on various buildings on the Civic Campus. He reviewed what the City <br />Council approved as far as the Community Solar Garden. <br />Acting Chair Wozniak asked if the bill credit and BPA rates fixed. <br />Mr. Culver stated both have a fixed starting rate and escalator which is adjusted <br />yearly. <br />Acting Chair Wozniak asked if there was a fear that BPA rate could fall below the <br />bill credit rate. <br />Mr. Culver stated it should not and when the agreement is set up that is something <br />the City wants to make sure will not happen. He noted the City will be subscribers <br />to a Community Solar Garden sometime in 2019. The City is agreeing to support <br />solar energy and the City will get the energy credits. What the City wants to do <br />beyond solar gardens is to look at every possible way to actually produce solar <br />energy on campus. <br />Page 3 of 11 <br />
