I aliance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Madam clerk, can I have a roll call? Mr.
Figero, here. Miss Terrell here. Miss Frasier here. Mr. Florio here. Mayor Bowser uh here. Before we begin, I just want to make a couple of comments. Uh many residents received a letter from me regarding the New Jersey community solar energy program. This evening, Ever
Solar, a local community solar provider, will explain their money saving program for our union residents. Will will they please come forward? Thank you. Good evening everyone. My name is Amelia Brown. I'm here with Ever Solar to speak
a bit more to how our community solar project located in Union Township can offer solar savings to Union residents. So to start, I'll speak a bit to what community solar is and how it works. So community solar is a state benefit
program. It's administered by the board of public utilities and it was in originally introduced in 2018. After a few pilot years of the program and after the program proved a success in saving residents money, the Board of Public
Utilities issued a permanent program voted on in 2023 to expand access and enable even more solar providers like Evers Solar to develop projects. And the plan of the community solar energy permanent program is to provide solar
savings to 75,000 households in New Jersey. There are some features of the program that was designed by the board of public utilities to ensure a positive subscriber experience for residents who enroll. The first is a set of consumer
protections to ensure that there's no startup fees, no fees to cancel, no ongoing or additional fees, just guaranteed savings on your monthly PSEG bill. It's also accessible. Community solar doesn't require that you install solar panels on your home or property.
It's accessible to renters and homeowners alike. There's absolutely no installation. So, for homeowners or renters who wish to benefit from solar savings but are either unable to or um uninterested in producing the upfront
cost to install panels on their roof. This is a great program. Simple billing. So, the original community solar program that I mentioned was introduced in 2018 had what's called dual billing. That meant that subscribers received two
bills. In the improved permanent program introduced in 2023, the board of public utilities directed all utilities, in this case PSEG, to implement what's called community um pardon me, utility consolidated billing. What that means is when you subscribe, once the project
starts generating solar savings, you'll see those savings reflected right on your PSEG bill. You will not get a second bill from Ever Solar. We can provide service to subscribers across PSEG territory. Um, but of course want
to ensure that as many Union Township residents enroll in this program. There's also an equitable element of the program. The Board of Public Utilities requires that 51% of the capacity of this program is reserved for low and moderate income households to ensure
that the solar savings are directed to the households that that need it most. To speak a bit about how community solar works, Eversolar constructs solar panels on warehouse rooftops. In this case, it's a rooftop on a warehouse on
Union Avenue off of I78. So, you won't see it from the street, but it's up there. And that solar farm generates energy from the sun that then gets distributed to the local power grid, in this case, the PSEG power grid. We can sell those energy credits to the
utility, and we receive a portion of the value of those solar credits. In the case of the Union Township Farm, that's 55% of that value. We pass the remaining 45% of that value on to subscribers in the form of solar credits applied to your PSE and G bill. That's how we're
able to guarantee savings each month. To speak a bit more about Evers Solar and our experience with community solar in New Jersey, we are the developer, owner, and long-term operator of the solar projects that we develop in the state. We already have eight operational projects in PSENG pro PSENG
territory serving 3,000 New Jersey households. Our solar project here, as I mentioned, is located on Union Avenue and it'll serve approximately 500 Union Township residents. We do have additional spots if we exceed those 500 resident spots, which we hope we do on
projects in PSENG territory, in other um townships. That being said, we encourage anyone interested in enrolling and enrolling now as we're currently offering the highest discount rate in PSENG territory. The average consumer that enrolls in the the average New
Jersey household that enrolls in the Union Township uh solar project will save $600 a year off their PSEG utility bills. And I'll wrap up here just by speaking to how you sign up. Uh it's quick and easy. It doesn't take too long. It's
handy to have a recent copy of your PSEG utility bill with you when you do enroll because we will be asking for a bit of utility account information so that we can validate your utility information with PSENG and make sure that we are allocating the appropriate amount of
energy from our farm to your account. So you'll visit the Eversolar portal that's here on the screen, union township.mmyeversolar.com. You'll answer a few questions. Service address, utility account number. You'll sign a disclosure form, subscriber
agreement. That's a just plain language summary on the disclosure form of the terms of your agreement, which are terms I've already spoken to. Cancel any time, no fees to start or stop. And once PENG validates that we have the right utility account information so that we can
ultimately enroll credits, we will issue just a a $50 thank you from Ever Solar. and we're busy at work constructing this farm. We mobilized on we began construction in January. We're expecting to complete construction in October. And
what that means is by early next year, residents who enroll in community solar will start receiving those credits on their bills. Ever Solar will keep residents a breast of the construction progress. So once you enroll, you can expect to receive not too many emails
but an email once the construction is complete and when you can expect your first solar credits. Thank you. Thank you. I have a question. Uh if I have existing solar panels on my property, can I apply to this program? So, we encourage uh residents with
existing solar panels to apply if the amount of energy that you're receiving from PSENG after accounting for what's generated from your on-site panels is under the program required 2,000 kilowatt hours per year. You may not be able to participate, but we do encourage
you to apply and we will be able to validate your eligibility with the utility. Thank you. Further questions? Yes, I have a question um for residents information and public information. Will there be any um hardware equipment or any kind of installation on any
individual's home inside or out? Great question. None whatsoever. That's a real benefit of the community solar program. Renters or homeowners who either are unable or or not wishing to install those sometimes costly panels
don't need to install anything. We manage that. We're building the farm on that location on Union Avenue and the residents don't need to do a thing. Thank you. Thank you. Any further questions from the committee? I would just like to make a statement so the
people of the public know this is not a scam. It's a legitimate state program. So I know there's a lot of scams going around, but this is not one. Thank you for that clarification, Joe. Thank you, Deputy Mayor. Thank you. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. The ever the ever solar representative
will remain after the meeting. So if you have any questions, you can meet with them after the meeting to have your questions addressed. At this time, can I have a motion to approve the minutes? Motion to approve minutes. Second. All in favor? I. Madam clerk, can we move on to the

Please remember the fiveminute rule. Please state your name and address. Hi, I'm Ruth Slovik, 1221 McGee Avenue. um the resolutions, they're done deals now. That's you can't change them, right? No. Okay. Because I was surprised
um with number 11 uh paying 22,000 Let me put my glasses on. 22,500 for custom artwork when in fact it would be an honor to have high school students present their work to be displayed in the library and save ourselves a tremendous amount of money.
Um, just I mentioned it once before about the curtains for the library that there's sewing classes in the high school and how easy it was to make them. Uh, and now I see you want to pay $22,000 for work that the students would be honored to have their work displayed
in the library. Um, so I'm a little disappointed. Um, I wanted to know what happened. Why do you need emergency air conditioning in the municipal building? And how long will you rent the the units? And will you be getting new units or they're going to be repaired?
The units are to really support the facility through the summer and then probably into the fall. And we have plans to to revamp the total system going forward in the future. So it's not working right now, you're saying? No, that's No, it's not. Okay. Um and I had
a question. What is the Title Six plan for New Jersey Transit briefly? I mean, I'm sure it's a very involved thing, but what is it? What is it briefly? Mayor, if I may, the
um we were awarded a grant for a bus and part of the being able to receive that grant is for them for New Jersey Transit to review our our title six um plan, which is a handicapped, okay, accessibility plan, and it was approved
and this resolution uh approves it and enables us to go forward with that grant. Okay. And um I know I I asked the last time I was here um regarding the finances about overpayment of taxes. Um
and it was mentioned how wonderful the tax assessor's offices and cracker jackack people who work in the department. I believe that um I was just wondering under what circumstances would would um um residents be overpaying on their taxes. Is that something like okay the grant the um bill for such and such
was less everybody in township gets less taxes. Is that how it works or is just individually? How do you how there's an overpayment of taxes? Under what circumstances would there be an over payment of taxes? Sounds like somebody paid too much to pay. Well, I'm just saying like they
wrote at the wrong amount in their check or like if I may. I think that was one of the things. It probably could be some other, but it's on an individual basis. It's not on a townwide basis. That's I wanted to know. Okay. It's on an individual basis. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you. Anyone else
wishing to come forward? Seeing none, could I have a motion to adjurnn? Some moved. Second. All in favor? I
