Council unanimously directs BTU staff to revisit solar compensation model after public comments
Summary
After an extended citizen comment period urging grandfathering and transition measures, the Bryan City Council voted unanimously to direct BTU staff to prepare a revised solar compensation recommendation that takes public input into account.
Following more than an hour of public comment, a council member moved to direct BTU staff to return with a recommendation to revise the BTU solar compensation model that incorporates the testimony heard at the meeting. The motion emphasized reviewing submitted written comments and video of today's testimony and passed unanimously.
Council discussion acknowledged the concerns of both residential and business stakeholders and framed the motion as an opportunity to find a fair approach that balances those interests. The council did not set a deadline for the staff report during the motion; staff were asked to consider the record and the comments presented when preparing recommendations.
