4. Other Aaenda Items
a. Receive update on Central San's Solar Project on the Lagiss Property
Ms. LaBella provided a detailed review of the materials provided in the agenda
materials.
Member Wedington asked for more information on the Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA). Ms. LaBella explained that in order to take advantage of tax
credits, it was more advantageous to contract as a PPA and purchase only the
power. Chair Pilecki clarified that the tax credits go to the investors not
Central San. Ms. LaBella confirmed. A discussion ensued.
Ms. LaBella stated that 5,460 solar panels will be installed on the back side of
the Lagiss property and will not obstruct the view of the property or the Blum
Road neighborhood. In response to Chair Pilecki regarding the size of the
panels, Mr. Driver stated that each module is approximately 3x5 feet.
Mr. Bailey asked how many acres are being used, and if there was a potential
to use more. Ms. LaBella said the District is currently using eight of 48 acres
for this project and there is a potential to have more.
Member Wedington asked if the amount of power anticipated to be generated
will be more or less than the number of credits received from PG&E. Ms.
LaBella stated this was reviewed and the goal is to offset the power demand
and make sure power is not stranded. She also stated another goal is to
minimize the number accounts moved over from Marin Clean Energy (MCE) if
they are not needed because MCE has a green energy rate that is 100 percent
solar.
Chair Pilecki asked if there will be a ribbon cutting ceremony and mentioned
inviting the Blum Road neighborhood. Ms. LaBella agreed that it would be nice
to have a celebration.
Member Wedington asked if there was any funding on this project. Ms. LaBella
said no. Mr. Leavitt also said because of the way the project is structured
there are minimal upfront costs.
The Committee expressed excitement about this project and had no further
questions.
COMMITTEE ACTION: Received the update.
