Reading Energy Board declines to apply for state climate-resiliency pilot
Summary
Board member Brian Cali said he supports the state pilot but cannot take on new projects in 2026; with similar time constraints from other members, the board decided not to apply to the Climate Action Office pilot.
Reading Energy Board member Brian Cali reported he had been invited by Martha Harrison at MARC to participate on an advisory panel for the state Climate Action Office and to help test a draft municipal climate-resiliency planning guide. Cali told the board he supports the program but does not have time to take on a new project in 2026; Bill Neukomm also said he lacked time. The board decided not to apply to be part of the pilot cohort.
The minutes note the pilot will have six communities testing the draft guide and that the board’s decision was based on available staff and member capacity in 2026. No motion to change staffing or pursue the pilot later in the year is recorded in the minutes.
