Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Tuesday, February 18, 2014 <br />Page 5 <br />FINANCE - Ron Wvnne <br />Mr. Wynne reported, our audit has started. The auditors were in the field last week and have <br />completed the field work and are now back in their offices reviewing the report and footnotes. <br />Everything went smooth. <br />POLICE - Chief Edelman <br />There was nothing to report. <br />PARKS & RECREATION - Bill Thomas <br />There was nothing to report. <br />ARCHITECT - Ron Dinardo <br />Mr. Dinardo reported, in your packets you should have a sheet that explains the solar energy <br />production over the last couple years. We finally were able to put the numbers together. You can <br />see how much power it is actually generating. The solar panels were installed at the Police <br />Station back in 2011. <br />I do have third-party consultant John Fadel here. to answer any questions. We discussed this in <br />Finance. Whoever was not at Finance, if you have any questions, Mr. Fadel is here to answer <br />them. The system does produce what was intended; actually more. It was designed for 54,000 <br />kw units. Last year it produced 64,000 kw units. We are doing pretty good with that. <br />Mr. Delguyd stated, this was discussed at Finance. We asked for a survey of the rest of the <br />buildings: a) are they conducive - are they south facing? b) the condition of the roofs and the <br />layout of the HVAC systems - does it make sense to put something else. It's about a 6 year <br />payback from an inveshnent standpoint plus additional financial benefits going forward. Actually <br />most of the benefits come after the 6 years of paying back. Obviously, Mr. Fadel is interested in <br />participating again. It's just a matter if we have the infrastructure. The three buildings we would <br />look at would be potentially the Community Room, although that doesn't look very likely, the <br />Fire Station, depending on the age of the roof and then the main Service garage and potentially <br />something at the pool, but that is a different project altogether. <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, so we would evaluate the structure and facing of it and the <br />use of the electricity? I would imagine the Fire Sta.tion uses more than the Community Room for <br />example. <br />Mr. Delguyd replied, correct. So, all costs; what would the payback be; what credits are out <br />there; what grants are out there? <br />Council President Buckholtz asked, Ron, did you do these numbers? <br />Mr. Wynne replied, no.
