Summary
The council reviewed a Scheffler Energy LLC solar contract for a police-related project, City Attorney M. Muske forwarded questions to MPCA and MPCA confirmed the contract is allowable under the grant; the council approved the motion with Councilor Kastner abstaining.
The Comfrey City Council on Oct. 14 reviewed a solar contract with Scheffler Energy, LLC and approved the contract after confirmation that it met grant guidelines.
During the police report item, City Attorney M. Muske said he had reviewed the Scheffler Energy contract and forwarded questions to MPCA for their input on whether the contract met grant requirements. Kelly (role not specified in the minutes) received confirmation from MPCA that the contract is allowable under the grant. On a motion by Redman, seconded by Evers, the council approved the contract; the minutes record Councilor Kastner as abstaining from the vote.
Separately, the council received an email from Brown County Sheriff Jason Seidl reporting that solar speed signs and additional rotating brackets intended for Comfrey’s three entrances are ready and that the additional cost for brackets and posts will be covered by remaining grant funds; Brown County Highway Department will coordinate installation with S. Berberich.
According to the minutes, the attorney’s questions had been forwarded to MPCA and MPCA confirmed the contract’s allowability under the grant; the minutes do not record MPCA issuing a contract approval decision beyond that grant-eligibility confirmation. The council recorded the approval motion with one abstention and no roll-call tally of individual yes/no votes beyond that abstention.
