Mr. Coppelman felt that we should include information about the solar panels that are being installed at the landfill in both the solid waste and energy sections.
Ms. Carson will include all outstanding updates to the Local Comprehensive Plan by the end of 2011 and post the document online and also provide a hard copy for any members that request it. Board members should make any additional desired changes by email so that we can finalize our suggestions at our January 11, 2012 meeting.
