Ben Hinkle addressed the council to ask whether the city would have any interest in a joint effort to develop a potential large-scale solar project on his property. The item was presented as an initial inquiry; the council did not take action or make a commitment at the meeting.
The discussion served as a preliminary notice to the council about a private proposal; additional details—such as project scale, interconnection, siting, incentives, or required approvals—were not provided in the meeting record.
