Regional Utilities Committee Referral Items #031090 - Airport Solar Project and #020285 - Airport Solar Electric Project (NB)
explanation
GRU has offered to build a solar electric system at the Gainesville Regional Airport. Funds sufficient to build this project have been included in the GRU budget for the past three years.
GRU staff has discussed the project with airport staff and agreed to work within the on-going airport master planning process currently in progress. Airport staff has requested GRU staff to work with their planners at an appropriate point in the master planning process. Recent contact with airport staff and their planners indicate that development of the master plan is now mature enough to allow consideration of how to integrate a solar electric system into their facility.
recommendation
The City Commission remove these two items from the Referral List.
