“Just one quick question. The first option, does that have a minimum number of years requirement? Is it?”

“Okay. Is that negotiable? Can you go any lower than that just to give ourselves flexibility? Have you asked that question?”

“I like the flexibility of that option, so I certainly like the flexibility even more if there's not a long leash or a short leash.”

“Yeah. So that's really, I mean, because my thought would be, too, if the solar technology increases at the pace it's increasing, then years three, four, five from now, it might make fiscal responsible sense to make a change then. Yeah.”

“I just wonder if it would be worth asking the question. Hey, would you all entertain a five-year deal? Just ask the question. I found sometimes people are happy to say sure.”

“It's not going to change my opinion. I'm happy with it. I would appreciate asking that question, though.”

“You're asking about the purchase of real estate? Yeah. I think there's a lot of protections of the taxpayers that we don't have to disclose some of those items.”

“Not until the deal's consummated, it's my understanding.”

“We've had some very serious discussions and negotiated in good faith. This has been talked about for months. This is a very long-term project. We've been talking about this project, Randy, for 10 years. And every one of us up here is elected to be as fiscally responsible as we can with taxpayer money.”

“Yeah, I just want to clarify. Maybe I got confused on this. Kevin, are we saying that the option of a different type of light is going to require that the actual electric grid or the energy be provided by someone other than Dominion?”

“but all the other options of life that they have we can work with because the main is currently sorry uh... terribly word question i've been told i did a lot and i did so let me make this a little bit more bite-sized chunks if we installed a solar powered light pole in this parking lot Are we able to use Dominion for the supplemented power needed between those cycles? Or if you put a solar panel on it, Dominion says we're not going to provide any power to it.”

“I'm just curious if there's a prohibition from our, because my understanding is there's not freedom of choice there. You have a territorial designation and that's your source of power.”

“Yeah. I'd be interested in those costs as well. I don't know what it is. I haven't done anything solar myself. But thank you for wording that better.”

“Can we ask for more clarification on that? Okay. Can you put that screen back up, please? All right. I understand the annual fixed costs are basically town assets, town parking, lots, et cetera. Correct. And you've got current expenditure. Correct. Give me an example of what that is.”

“So these are private neighborhoods with HOAs where we're paying the bill on the lots?”
Town Council · Sep 21, 2026

“So two neighborhoods cost us $430,000 a year?”
Town Council · Sep 21, 2026
- Play at 41:16
“Does that include the 162 or that separate? It does. It does? Yes. All right, so current expenditures for all lights is $430,000. Of the $430,000, $162,000 is town assets. So the difference is private lights that we're paying for.”
Town Council · Sep 21, 2026
- Play at 44:11
“Help me understand those two differences. Earlier we were at $500,000. If this is 100% with no subsidy, then it's now $683,000. Correct. Where does the extra $183,000 come in?”
Town Council · Sep 21, 2026
- Play at 44:32
“So we would call neighborhoods that are currently paying their own light and say congratulations, we're picking up the bill now?”

“Madam Mayor. Yes. Can I clarify, when you say you, you're directing that to the mayor, not to us as a council?”
