Council casts wary eye to solar plan BY REBECCA BUNCH Staff Writer A Inner of intent pre pared fur a proposed solar limn lease agreement at the Northeast Regional Air port m Edenton tidied to rei ei\e authorization front I he T< iwn t'ouneil during its Fel> Id monthly meeting. Mayor Roland Vaughan echoed the sentiment of several council members that at this point they had more questions they felt needed to be addressed. "Tltis is die third one (so ke farm project) that's ap pn nched us and we don't have one yet." the mayor said. “1 think we need to get our ducks in a row." A Eeh. o memo from Town Manager Anne-Ma ne Knighti >n to .loci ()lsen. founder of dll Energies. ,uid shared with the council, outlines concerns relating to the proposed letter of intent identified h\ town at - tomev Ho. mI EUi>. .Among tile eoneenLS identified is the fact that 02 Energies would be execut ing the letter of intent as the "leasee" hut would not in fac t be the ultimate leasee. "There needs to be a pro vision for the Town to have prior approval of ultimate lease before the lease is as signed." Knighton wrote. Another concern w as to make sure operations at the .airport would be protected. "We want to be sure that we condition everything to the operation of the air port such that no part of the solar farm installation or operation can interfere with that whether in the form of an existing law or regulation or in the form of a prospective regulation," she said in her memo. The memo also hits sev eral other key points in 'luding potential default on the lease1 agreement and a non-refundable option in eluded in the proposed let ter of intent. Knighton told (>lsen that with regard to rent anon-re fundable payment of $5,000 that would be credited to lease rent was an important consideration for the town council. The site lease proposal for the solar project states that the lessee would make a one-time refundable pay ment of $5,000, a down payment, to the lessor fol lowing execution of a bind ing lease. The lessee would then have six months — an examination period — to carry out a due diligence investigation of the leased premises. At the end of that time, according to the site lease proposal, the lessee would have six months to com plete its due diligence in vestigation of the leased premises. At the conclusion of that time period, the les see would have the option to be refunded the down payment if it decides not to go ahead with the project. "If lessee decides to con tinue moving forw ard wit h the project, the down pay ment would become non refundable, but apply to the rent payment,” according to the site lease proposal. According to the pro posed site lease, the lessee would begin paying the lessor $1,000 per month to maintain control of the premises. The term of the lease would be for 30 years starting on the commercial operation date, the date when the system is me chanically complete and operating according to the proposed agreement. Should the commer cial operation date not be achieved by June 30, 2017, the lessor would have the option to end the definitive lease. Councilmen Bob Quinn and Steve Skinner said they had reservations about when the rent should actu ally become due. They said they felt any prospective tenant should begin pav ing rent when papers were signed, not when the tenant actually moved in.

At the board’s Feb. 2 meeting, Commissioner John Mitchener requested travel funds to attend the National Association of Counties Legislative Con ference in Washington, D.C. He said he would like an allocation of $800 or so from the county and would pay the rest of the cost himself. Mitchener has estimated the total cost of attendance at roughly $2,500. Mitchener said he would bring back infor mation from the confer ence to the rest of the board. Susanne Stallings, clerk to the board, reported that there was $1,331 left in the commissioners' travel fund. About $250 is needed for an upcoming ethics webinar, she said. Commissioner Keith Nixon said the board did not budget for anyone to attend the NAC'o confer ence. Nixon also said he wasn’t sure there would be much benefit for the county in having a repre sentative at this gather ing. The commissioners' first priority in conferenc es of this type should be the state meetings, Nixon said. Mitchener said his idea that attending the national conference would be ben eficial was based mainly on a national meeting of pharmacists he had at tended while he was still in the pharmacy business. He said he learned a lot from networking with the other pharmacists at that meeting. Mitchener said this week that he had decided not to attend the confer ence since he fellow com missioners would not set aside a small amount from the travel budget to help with the cost. Mitchener said there might be some cases in which elected officials attend a conference and "goof off," which he said obviously is a waste of taxpayers' money. But lie said lie attend ed conferences when he served on the school board and found “the sky's the limit in terms of what you can learn." He said his plan had been to attend sessions and learn as much as he could. " lo me it makes sense," Mitchener said. "If I were going, 1 would go up there to work and not to play. And I would listen to the experiences of other commissioners and learn as much as possible and bring it home and share it with tlie other commis sioners." But he said he had reached the conclusion that he wasn't going to take all the money out of his own pocket to fund t lie t rip. In neighboring Perqui mans ('ounty, there is not a written policy on board member travel but the board generally has sent a representative to state - but not national - meet ings. according to Perqui mans ('ounty Manager Frank Heath.
