Board hears update on solar energization delays, Ameren witness test and fence work
Summary
Board members were told the district's solar system is not yet energized because of pending utility witness testing and fence work; a board member urged withholding final payment until the system is energized.
Board members discussed continued delays in energizing the district's solar installation, with staff explaining the vendor is waiting on the utility (Ameren) for witness testing and final approvals. Fence installation delays and contractor scheduling were raised as contributing factors to the hold-up.
Board member Brian pressed for withholding the final contract payment until the system is live: "I wanna hold off to the last payment till we're energized," he said, urging the board to apply pressure on the vendor. Staff said Ameren's witness test had been completed earlier and that the company expected a short review period, but fence scheduling and final certificate-of-completion paperwork remain outstanding.
