Summary

Select board member Shane Beattie asked whether the town has regained control of its solar arrays; Town Manager Jessica Cyr outlined the process staff are pursuing to finalize control and the plan for ongoing maintenance. The minutes record that staff are "working through" the steps to get the arrays squared away and to maintain them going forward.
