President Counley alerted trustees to a proposal from Cenergy Power to co-develop a 10–40 acre community solar project on property owned by Mrs. Vick. The item was presented as a heads-up and no formal vote or application review occurred at the Nov. 25 meeting.
Trustees questioned long-term lifecycle and disposal for panels, whether vegetation/mowing could be maintained under arrays, and how siting a solar installation might limit future development of the A‑Yard parcel. Deputy Clerk Prehn noted examples in nearby communities where panels were installed but not maintained; Trustee Bogacz said opposition in other communities suggests the proposal is unlikely to move forward without more information.
