What: payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) agreements with four solar companies operating in Carver, to be negotiated by the Select Board and Board of Assessors.
Where it stands: The Finance Committee recommended the Special Town Meeting article on October 26; the agreement amounts have not been negotiated yet.
Recommended the Special Town Meeting article allowing four solar PILOT agreements (tally heard as 4-0). The Town Administrator said the terms are not yet negotiated, and that settling payments up front avoids disputes and appeals over how solar is taxed as personal property.
Four solar PILOT agreement articles placed on the warrant with wording amended to approve and authorize, and recommended unanimously; two are renegotiated older agreements that now include a bankruptcy clause.
