From the meeting
Commissioner Ury reported on a meeting with the Nooksack Tribe regarding geothermal and asked that geothermal be added as a recurring old business item at future meetings. No procurement or project award was made. The signal is that geothermal is now a standing topic for ongoing policy and project development.
That can matter for later feasibility, permitting, or energy-related consulting work once the district defines scope.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
