ITEM 1 ~ CALL TO ORDER:
The meeting was called to order by Commissioner Dzadovsky.
ITEM 2 ~ SELF-INTRODUCTIONS:
Commissioner Dzadovsky and those in attendance gave self-introductions.
ITEM 3 ~ DISCUSSION OF POLICY
Commissioner Dzadovsky asked for a motion to approve the minutes. The motion was
seconded and approved. Commissioner Dzadovsky then turned the meeting over to Dan
Kurek for his presentation on the policy.
Dan Kurek said the document has gone from 10 pages to about 3 and a half and has
been extremely streamlined.
He went over the changes as outlined in the latest version.
There was a discussion about solar loan credits brought up by Marty Laven. It was
agreed would be discussed with the board members.
Commissioner Dzadovsky stated that it seemed everyone agreed with the changes to
the policy and that it was ready to present to the Solar Loan Fund.
Dan Kurek said there are still issues with the application that will need to be discussed
and worked through before presenting it to the board.
He then said that something to think about is that no matter how many loans they get,
they should probably do an RFP and have someone underwrite a position for doing the
loan processing, service the applications and put the paperwork through.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted by: Terri Ann Palumbo, Executive Aide to Commissioner Chris
Dzadovsky
