All voting aye, the motion was carried. Councilman Leach updated the Board regarding a solar panel project for the Town. He contacted NYSERDA and was given contact information for a gentleman in NYC who was in the process of vetting contractors that are qualified to handle such projects. In the meantime, Councilman Leach stated that Town would have to identify locations for solar panels for municipal buildings facing south. The Town's Water & Sewer Garage, Highway Department, and the Town Hall would be possible locations. Roof mounted solar panels are suggested to reduce tampering, which would mean that the roofs would all have to be 20-year roofs to last the lifetime of the solar panels. Councilman Leach explained that one of the benefits of solar panels was that the Town could lock in discounted utility rates for 20 years. He also asked Highway Sup't. Bush for his help to find out the kilowatts used at each location. On another note, Councilman Leach mentioned that according to NYSERDA people with medical needs could register with utility companies and in the event of an outage their service would be repaired first. Councilman Leach proposed that all Town trucks be lettered with the Town's logo and numbered so that Town equipment can be identified. Discussion occurred amongst the Board regarding the suggestion. Highway Sup't. Bush explained that all of the Town's larger trucks and equipment have the Town's decals. He also mentioned that the DMV has issued new license plates for municipal vehicles and that the Town of Cortlandville is identified on the new plates.
