"Solar Parasols" in A Parking Lot = Focus @ Mesa Council Study Session Mon 11 Dec 2017

City Manager Chris Brady had announced a meeting for December 12th, but somehow this is what got on the agenda for the day before - and surprisingly quite a few interactions around the U-Shaped council table.
Please take notice that this proposal for Solar Parasols to be located in the south parking lot on 1st Avenue at Mesa Arts Center was originally presented Sept 21, 2017.
 For reference here's an insert of that somewhat long session that expanded to a broader discussion about energy utilities here in Mesa.

D2 Councilmember Jeremy Whittaker asks that Item 5h be removed from Consent Agenda and City Manager Chris Brady Brady is fast-ready to respond to questions about ROI on a solar energy proposal in the South Parking Lot @ Mesa Arts Center for "Solar Parasols".
John Giles makes some other remarks about risks and negligible costs, supported by follow-up remarks from Chris Brady over rate comparisons.
Just trying to gauge the market ....Who is realistic here?
D2 Councilmember Mark Freeman chimes in well-informed about details he adds to the discussion.
