HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - November 2, 2016 Adjournmentat solar power, stating he would like businesses to have a fair opportunity in this process because
they were unaware of the waiting list and requested Council re -set the program.
City Attorney Magdich stated she recalled that Council's decision on the waiting list was made at
a public hearing, which was duly noticed, published in the newspaper, and posted and that the
subsequent Council minutes were posted as well. Municipalities are not required to do further
outreach, stating that the public hearing notice is considered the outreach and the public has an
opportunity to attend hearings and state their opinions.
Mr. Conklin countered that, had the notice stated there would be procedural changes
implemented and a waiting list created, a greater segment of the public would have participated,
but Council made its decision at the dais.
In response to Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne, Mr. Brucker stated the rebate program will conclude
at the end of 2017, explaining that the State mandated program started in 2008 and was intended
to run for ten years unless extended by new legislation.
In response to Council Member Nakanishi, Mr. Brucker explained that every customer pays a
solar charge that is collected for this rebate program and at the end of the program, the surcharge
will sunset.
With regard to the last suggested change to Option 1, Council Member Mounce suggested
moving at least $5,000 from the non-residential category into the residential category in order to
complete one more project at the $5,000 cap and divide the remaining balance in the non-
residential category for as many projects as is reasonable.
Mr. Brucker stated that many of the non-residential projects will reach the maximum cap, but
there are smaller projects also looking for rebates.
In response to Council Member Nakanishi, Mr. Schwabauer stated that, once the solar rebate
charge is eliminated, customers will see a slight decrease in the rate, roughly 2.5 percent.
Mr. Brucker added it would equate to 0.000125 per kilowatt hour.
Council Member Mounce stated she could not support a motion that does not cover an even
number of projects in the residential category at the $5,000 cap.
Mr. Schwabauer suggested a non-residential category amount of $95,000 split into three projects
and moving the remaining $5,000 into the residential category for a total amount of $185,000 for
37 projects at a $5,000 rebate cap.
Mayor Pro Tempore Kuehne made a motion, second by Council Member Johnson, to
approve funding the $320,000 carry-over of eight non-residential rebate projects at the 2016 cap
of $40,000; allocating $185,000 to the residential category for 37 projects at the $5,000 cap; and
allocating $95,000 in the non-residential category to be divided among three projects.
