ROME — Legislation that would authorize a 90-day moratorium extension with respect to the establishment and construction of solar arrays within the city is on the agenda during the next Common Council meeting to be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 13, in Common Council Chambers of City Hall.

Ordinance 9528 states Rome Common Council has the authority to amend both the Zoning Code when it is deemed that the amendment would protect the health, welfare and safety of citizens and businesses, or further the public interest, and to impose a moratorium where appropriate. According to the legislation, the council is in the process of considering amendments to City Code Chapter 80, relating to the construction of solar arrays in the city and their requirements.

Second Ward Councilor John B. Mortise, Third Ward Councilor Kimberly Rogers and Fifth Ward Councilor Frank R.
