solar energy

The city's Climate Action Plan includes a goal to increase the use of cleaner and renewable energy sources (p. 17). Strategies listed include implementing additional "Solar on Schools" projects and a "Solar City" project on municipal buildings. The section notes that the city passed a resolution in 2012 to waive all permit fees associated with solar PV and hot water system installations for one year to reduce barriers to such installations (pp. 17, 23).
