Commissioner Steve Hersey opened a discussion of commercial property assessed clean energy (C-PACE) financing at the Nov. 18 meeting, saying he raised the topic for transparency after constituents brought it to his attention.
County Manager Paul Van Haute read from a Georgia C-PACE 101 document provided to the board and said the meeting he attended was a "green sales pitch" by a private developer seeking financing for the LEN Resort and related projects. Van Haute described the presentation as sales-oriented rather than a neutral staff briefing. The board did not take action on the matter at the meeting.
No motions or votes were recorded on C-PACE; the item was discussed for informational purposes and documents were made part of the minutes.
