District reports contingent $607,118 solar grant and approves energy assessment
Summary
The board heard that the district has a contingent solar grant award not to exceed $607,118 and approved an energy assessment/audit to advance planning; staff will confirm reimbursement timing before committing out‑of‑pocket funds.
Marshall Davis told trustees the district has a contingent award for a solar project not to exceed $607,118. He said signing the award letter moves the district into phase 1, which requires paperwork about site/land use and conflicts; the district is not yet obligated to accept the grant. "We received the solar grant that's, $607,000 about, I think. Not to exceed $607,118," Davis said, and staff emphasized they would confirm reimbursement timing before committing district funds.
The board also reviewed a proposal for an energy audit and baseline assessment and moved to approve the energy assessment. Trustees discussed phases of the grant and that the planning phase will require an up‑front amount (planning-phase costs were described as a six‑figure chunk in the grant schedule), but staff said they would avoid obligating the district to out‑of‑pocket costs until reimbursement mechanics were clear.
