Selectmen revisit Titan solar revenue-share proposal; motion made but final vote not recorded
Summary
Board discussed reauthorizing a Titan solar revenue-share agreement that could net roughly $8,000 a year; a motion to approve was made and seconded but the transcript does not record the final roll-call vote.
The North Stonington Board of Selectmen on June 25 revisited a previously tabled Titan solar revenue-sharing proposal that Collison said could deliver about $8,000 a year to the town for roughly 20 years.
First Selectman Bob Collison summarized the history: the town had the opportunity three years earlier to join the project but did not, and the present proposal would provide the town approximately $8,000 annually for up to 20 years. Selectwoman Nicole Porter asked whether the solar project was pre-approved without the town’s consent and expressed concern about the town’s prior resistance to solar projects. Collison said he had asked Titan and that the town would not be liable to remove equipment if a farm failed.
A motion to approve the Titan revenue-sharing solar project was made and seconded during the meeting, but the transcript does not capture a final roll-call vote or recorded outcome. Board members discussed one resident’s question about town liability and the broader uncertainty about whether the project required town approval to proceed.
The discussion indicated continuing uncertainty about the project’s status and legal obligations; the board did not record additional conditions on the record during the June 25 session.
