c) Local Law #3 of 2026 Extend Moratorium Solar Energy

  CEO Roberts and Wiedemann are asking for a change to the moratorium, to state
that there should be an exception to allow Tier I and Tier II residential systems.
Supervisor Drozd asked Town Attorney Attea if that could be added to the moratorium,
and Town Attorney Attea said that he had a meeting coming up with Drew Reilly from
Wendel who has been the consultant on this project, and he will present this at that
meeting. It cannot be added to the moratorium at this time. CEO Wiedemann asked if
there was a time frame on this so that he can let residents know if they ask. Town
Attorney Attea said that hopefully the Board will be adopting the new laws at the next
Board meeting.
