Sign agreement protecting city from lawsuits over property energy loans

The Open PACE program lets property owners borrow money for solar panels and energy improvements, then repay through their property tax bills. The city collects these payments but faces potential legal liability if disputes arise. If approved, the program administrator agrees to cover any legal costs or damages the city might face.
