AUTHORIZE ATTORNEY FOR THE TOWN TO FOIL THE WWIDA FOR THE 1999 LIST OF MEMBERS
SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT LAST MONTH THE TOWN BOARD PASSED A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE TOWN OF HARTFORD JOIN A LIST THAT THE WWIDA MAINTAINS THAT THEY CREATED IN 1999 OF TOWNS THAT DO NOT WANT THE WWIDA TO ENTER INTO ANY PILOTS ON ANY DEVELOPMENT IN THEIR TOWN WITHOUT THE TOWN GIVING APPROVAL. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT THERE IS A ZOOM MEETING OF THE WWIDA THAT SHOWS THEY DID NOT ACCEPT OUR RESOLUTION REQUEST BECAUSE THEY ARE THINKING ABOUT IT. SUPERVISOR HAFF ASKED ATTORNEY FOR THE TOWN, JEFF MEYER WHAT THE NEXT COURSE OF ACTION SHOULD BE. JEFF SAID THAT HE HEARS ALL KINDS OF THINGS ABOUT HOW THIS 1999 LIST EVEN STARTED. HE SAID THAT THE WWIDA SAYS THAT IT WAS A ONE TIME DEAL THAT WAS SET UP AND IF THE TOWNS DIDN’T JOIN THEN THEY LOST THE CHANCE. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENT BOARD MEMBERS ON THE WWIDA AND FOR THE TOWNS AS WELL – IT IS DISCRIMINATORY TO REFUSE MEMBERS ON A LIST THAT YOU STILL MAINTAIN TODAY. JEFF SUGGESTED THAT THE TOWN AUTHORIZE HIM TO FOIL THE WWIDA FOR ALL RECORDS REGARDING THIS 1999 LIST. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT IN THE PAST THE TOWN OF HARTFORD ADOPTED A LOCAL LAW THAT DOES NOT ALLOW ANY TAX EXEMPTIONS ON SOLAR FARMS. THE WWIDA IS CONSIDERING OFFERING COUNTY WIDE PILOTS TO A CONSORTIUM OF LARGE-SCALE SOLAR FARMS, 3 IN THE TOWN OF KINGSBURY. THE WWIDA CAN LEGALLY CIRCUMVENT OUR LOCAL LAW AND OUR HOME RULE PROCESS. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT IS WHY HE IS TRYING TO GET ON THE 1999 LIST. HE SAID THAT HE HEARD THIS SOLAR FARM CONSORTIUM IS OFFERING THE WWIDA A $650,000 FEE IF THEY ENTER INTO PILOTS. THE WWIDA WORKS OFF OF FEES. THE $650,000 WILL BE PAYABLE OVER 25 YEARS FOR A STEADY FLOW OF INCOME AND IF THEY ACCEPT THIS IT WOULD BE A BANNER YEAR FOR THE WWIDA. THE TOWN OF KINGSBURY IS CONCERNED. THEY ARE ON THE 1999 LIST AND DID NOT OPT OUT OF THE 487 EXEMPTION BUT KINGSBURY DOES NOT HAVE AN AG & FARMLAND PROTECTION PLAN LIKE THE TOWN OF HARTFORD DOES. THESE LARGE-SCALE SOLAR FARMS GO AGAINST OUR AG & FARMLAND PROTECTION PLAN BECAUSE THEY SEEK OUT PRIME FARM LANDS. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT THE WWIDA CAN STILL OFFER THE TOWN A PILOT AND THE TOWN CAN SAY OK YOU NEGOTIATED A PRETTY GOOD DEAL. SUPERVISOR HAFF SAID THAT HE THINKS THE TOWN SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO REVIEW THE DEAL AND SAY OKAY OR NOT.
