Solar Gap Analysis Review. Cindy introduced the purpose of the meeting, which is to review the
draft solar gap analysis in preparation for presentation to the Select Board on October16th. Todd
walked the committee through the presentation slide by slide. There was extensive discussion
and many adjustments made to the presentation, as reflected in the attached draft capturing most
of the comments.
After reviewing the main presentation (not the appendix), it was moved, seconded, and
unanimously voted:
To endorse the presentation prepared by the working group, as amended, for presentation
to the Select Board, and to authorize Todd Rhodes to make minor wordsmithing
adjustments as he deems useful.
Cindy thanked the working group for their extensive efforts on this over many months, with
special thanks to Todd for his tireless work through many iterations and to Charles for his
contributions to the data and analysis. Cindy acknowledged that there is much more work to be
done in this area, but this analysis is a critical start.
