Board weighs $225K–$318K power costs for Snowball site as part of multi‑year capital plan
Summary
The board discussed estimates to bring commercial power to the Snowball site (NV Energy estimates cited between $225,000 and $318,000), potential shared costs with the city, and options including solar/battery hybrids as part of the TV district's five‑year capital plan.
During budget and capital‑plan discussion, board members reviewed NV Energy estimates to bring power to the Snowball site and noted the wide cost variance and timing sensitivity. Kenny reported an initial NV Energy estimate of about $318,000; earlier internal figures had shown $225,000. The chair instructed staff to place power‑delivery as a future action item for a full board decision.
Members discussed alternatives — keeping generators, pursuing solar/battery hybrid solutions, or negotiating cost‑sharing with the city because Snowball also benefits municipal recreation. The board agreed to study contract language, cost share options and to include the topic as an action item in a future meeting before committing capital funds.
