Board hears parks and library updates; library solar project bid noted at $227,223
Summary
Griffin reported park plans (gazebo replacements and possible pickleball league) and said the library selected Absolute Solar for a $227,223 solar project expected to generate roughly 110% of the library's electrical load.
Board member Griffin told the board that local parks and the library have several initiatives planned, including gazebo replacements and a proposed pickleball league, and reported details of the library's solar procurement.
Griffin said parks staff are "started talking about replacing some gazebos at Carr Park and Samaria Park. I got about $40,000 set aside for that." On the library project, Griffin reported the library had solicited bids and "they went with 1 from Absolute Solar for $227,223. It will generate a 110% of the electrical load that they have with the library." He said the expected payback on the investment is about six years.
The board did not take formal action on the parks or library items during the meeting; Griffin said funding decisions for gazebo work may be reallocated if the replacements do not proceed.
