In addition, a reference document is provided in Dropbox which <br />contains design principles, example guidance from other communities, and example <br />decision cases compiled from National Trust for Historic Preservation and National <br />Parks Service documents. <br />Last year, the Common Council of the City of South Bend issued a resolution in support <br />of a reasonable transition to cleaner sources of energy. This year, South Bend is <br />participating in the SolSmart program to receive free technical assistance to become <br />designated as a "solar- friendly" community. As part of that effort, South Bend is working <br />to reduce barriers to solar development by increasing transparency and providing clear <br />guidance related to local processes. <br />Leah Thill, MSES /MPA <br />SolSmart Technical Advisor <br />Sustainability and Solar Energy Consultant <br />[o] (574) 287 -1829 ext. 801 1 [m] (812) 653 -9730 <br />Ithili @solsmart.ora <br />
