CT EAST HAMPTON — Clean Energy Task Force moves forward with Bronze Certification and VoltPost redesign. Chairman Russ Kaplan's board unanimously approved prior meeting minutes and confirmed submission of a Sustainable CT Bronze Certification application with 265 to 270 points against a 250-point threshold, positioning the Task Force to pursue Silver Certification within one to two years. VoltPost representative James Everley reported that site inspections revealed unanticipated trenching and pole installation costs, prompting introduction of new design partner Ahead Engineering; the prior estimate reached $90,000 for installation work.
Jonathan Searles was tasked with preparing a cost analysis for a $200 infrared camera purchase to be submitted to Town Council for resident-rental approval.
