County maintenance staff reported the county received a $217,000 grant to install a solar array on the Weber Road facility. Commissioners were told staff will use the opportunity to perform necessary roof repairs at the same time and that a meter will measure electricity generated for credit against the county's utility bills.
Jason (maintenance) said the project is expected to have no net cost to the county through grant funding and potential electric-bill savings, though roof repairs will be required and funded as part of the project implementation. Staff said the county will coordinate repairs and solar installation to be completed together and that the county will receive credits for electricity produced when the system exports power to the grid.
No formal vote was required for the report; commissioners accepted the departmental update.
