           Jan - April.  Lobbied both he board and key project leads on installing conduit at the new fire hall.  The key is to provide resilience as the workers confront the effects of fires and earthquakes.  Based on a recent CRD report, a combination of Solar/Battery/Starlink and EV charging is desirable.  All those components would be separate projects at a later date.
