AGENDA #7

 

MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                  Mayor and Town Council

 

FROM:            Tom Wills and Diane Reid, Co-Chairs, Million Solar Roofs Committee

 

SUBJECT:       Annual Report to the Town Council from the Chapel Hill Solar Roofs Committee

 

DATE:             October 8, 2003

 

 

We are pleased to submit to you a report on the work of the Solar Roofs Committee over the past year.  Tom Wills and Ralph Taylor of our Committee will present this report.

 

In September 2002, the Council authorized continuation of our work for one year, with staff assistance for five Committee meetings. In August the Committee held its fifth and final meeting within the one-year authorization period.

 

Tonight, we request the Town Council consider extending our authorization, including staff assistance, so that we may continue work on a number of projects underway and planned. We also ask that the Town conduct a new appointment process allowing interested Committee members to apply to continue participating in the effort, as well as allowing new people to join. Finally we ask that the Council consider our request to appropriate $600 needed to finish the installation of a solar water heating system at the Chapel Hill Community Center.
