Mr. Culver stated the Commission will review this again in September if the Commission <br />wants to make a formal recommendation to bring forward to the Council. <br />Member Misra thought the City was moving on the right track and she thought they have <br />talked about this for awhile and it seems like staff has reviewed this and the risk did not <br />seem that great to her with all of the items that are in place. She thought the City reducing <br />its carbon footprint is a brilliant idea, especially if someday the City can declare the skating <br />center carbon neutral. She thought that was a huge asset for them and a contribution they <br />should be looking to do. She thought it was time. <br />Member Kruse agreed and thought this was a great idea. <br />Vice Chair Wozniak stated in addition to what Member Misra stated, he liked the idea of <br />going after both types; Solar Rewards and the PV Demand Credit. He liked the latter <br />especially to scope out what they might be able to do with the skating center roof a year or <br />two down the road. <br />Mr. Chris Psihos stated when a solar array is put on a roof and there is an income producing <br />asset that over the life of the roof pays for the roof, that is an awesome situation. Usually <br />a solar array will pay for the cost of the roof with the energy savings over a 25 -year period. <br />Vice Chair Wozniak hoped the staff in Finance will take a look at the numbers to make <br />sure everything adds up and makes sense. He wanted to say kudos to the City Council for <br />wanting to display being green in the City and he thought that was a good step and looked <br />forward to more like it. <br />Member Misra thought the idea of using a ground base solar array for educational purposes, <br />there are other ways of doing that educational piece such as a kiosk in different parks, <br />something at the skating center and/or at City Hall that may not be as visually and intrusive <br />on the landscape would be a better way to go. She would like to keep the solar array on <br />the rooftop. <br />There was no motion made due to lack of Quorum <br />
