Board asks operations to study solar feasibility after bond restriction note
Summary
Board members asked staff to analyze solar options for district buildings after the bond manager said bond funds could not be used; operations/PBC will review feasibility, usage baselines and lease options.
A board member asked about progress toward district solar installations. Miriam said the board can consider solar but that the bond manager reported bond funds could not be repurposed to pay for solar installations. She suggested the Permanent Building Committee or operations run a feasibility study or data review to determine baseline electricity use, projected costs and potential leasing arrangements.
Board members discussed timing and the need for building-usage data before estimating rebates or savings; Miriam proposed bringing data to the operations committee or convening a special meeting. Concerns about installation safety on roofs were raised and the board agreed to defer detailed work to operations and PBC while staff gather the necessary building and cost data.
