City manager reports solar array output, yard-waste drop-off and Parkside Park naming outreach
Summary
City manager told council the new municipal solar array has been generating since December and produced 7 megawatts on a recent sunny day (equivalent to power for about 1,800 homes); spring yard-waste drop-off is April 19 and city solicited Parkside Park name suggestions from Lebanon High School students.
At the March 20 meeting, Lebanon's city manager provided several community updates: the city's solar array has been producing power since mid-December, with a recent sunny day generating about 7 megawatts of power, which staff said is roughly enough to energize about 1,800 homes.
The manager said the array is integrated into the municipal electric portfolio and officials will monitor summer output. The city also announced a spring yard-waste drop-off day on April 19 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the public works facility on West Main Street.
Council members described outreach for the Parkside Park naming project: Lebanon High School students were invited to submit name suggestions, more than 100 suggestions were received and the deadline for submissions was April 4. Council also welcomed members of local scout troops who attended the meeting.
These items were informational reports; no council action was taken on the items reported.
