Joseph Voll and Robert Dunn were business partners in a pair of restaurants in Connecticut called Macdaddys Macaroni & Cheese Bar. One restaurant was held in what would be known shorthand as the Monroe LLC, and the other similarly as the Fairfield LLC. A third company without a restaurant, the Management LLC, provided operational services to both Monroe LLC and Fairfield LLC.

Voll and Dunn owned all three LLCs as 50%-50% members, with the idea that profits would flow up from Monroe LLC and Fairfield LLC into the Management LLC, which would then distribute the profits equally to Voll and Dunn.

Voll was a construction general contractor, and he contributed the moneys and labor to build the first restaurant, which would go into Monroe LLC. For his 50%, Dunn contributed the concept, menus, and operational support. Dunn then was working as an investment broker, but soon agreed to give up that job and work at Monroe LLC on a full-time basis.

The first Macdaddys opened on July 4, 2011, but even before the concept was proven to be viable on a long-term basis, Voll and Dunn started looking for a second location only a few months later. The two decided on a location, and cut a deal with the property owner whereby Voll, Dunn, the property owner and his wife (the latter two, the Swansons, taking profits in lieu of rent), would all be 25% owners in the second company, being the Fairfield LLC. Certain licensing fees and royalties would also be paid to Management LLC, which was owned only by Voll and Dunn.

Apparently, there was not enough profit to sustain Dunns financial needs, and so beginning in January, 2012, Voll started loaning him $4,000 per month.

The second Macdaddys finally opened in September, 2012, and it was to be run by the Swansons. However, about the time that Macdaddys opened, the Swansons had some medical emergency and were unable to manage that restaurant, so Dunn started managing both Macdaddys. (At some point, apparently, the Swansons ceased to be members in Fairfield LLC, leaving only Voll and Dunn as the remaining 50%-50% members).

Unbeknownst to Voll, investment banker Dunn had never run a restaurant successfully, and he also had sticky fingers. Only 10 days after the July 1, 2011, opening of the first Macdaddys, Dunn started taking unauthorized withdrawals from Monroe LLC, depositing $21,150 in cash into this TD Bank account from July, 2011, to February, 2012, and depositing another $17,600 in cash into his Jordans Future, LLC (named for his daughter), from August, 2011, to May, 2012. Dunn disguised the payments as management fees or consulting fees, etc., on the checks, which were never authorized by the Monroe LLC or Voll.

Dunn also took another $5,750 in unauthorized draws from Monroe LLC, and further used Monroe LLCs assets to barter for goods and services for his home, including lawn care services and firewood deliveries, for $6,320. A later reconciliation of Monroe LLCs books against its point-of-sale system showed a cash shortfall of $39,425 between June, 2012 and November 15, 2012. Dunn also diverted the insurance proceeds from Hurricane Sandys damage into a second bank account that he opened in the name of Monroe LLC but didnt tell Voll.

Far Niente Winery in the Napa Valley pioneered the use of a floating solar array in 2008 by installing almost 1,000 panels on a 1.3 acre in Martin Stelling Vineyard. It produces 400 kilowatts at peak output. Similar applications of this innovative concept will be developed at six Sonoma County Water Agency holding ponds, making this the second-largest floating solar project in the world.

Sonoma County clean energy and water officials have set up talks with vineyard, farm, dairy and other landowners in Sonoma Valley and around Healdsburg about using their irrigation ponds for what is said to be the largest floating solar-electricity project in the U.S. and the second-largest in the world.

Sonoma Clean Power and Sonoma County Water Agency plan to hold additional information sessions throughout the county over the next three months to assess landowner interest in adopting a solar-over-water option. This comes after Sonoma Clean Power signed an agreement with San Francisco-based Pristine Sun in late February to install a 12.5-megawatt solar farm on pontoon docks at six holding ponds operated by the water agency in northwest Santa Rosa and Sonoma Valley. The power agency had reviewed bids from four solar providers.

The sunset of rooftop solar is not over the horizon, but the dawn of a new application for photovoltaic panels installed as floating arrays is an emerging trend in the industry. Some have already been placed above vineyard irrigation and frost prevention ponds as well as on fully treated wastewater reservoirs. The largest floating solar array in the world is a 13.4-megawatt installation by Kyocera TCL Solar on Yamakura Dam reservoir near Tokyo.

We took extra care to protect customers who will become involved in these floating solar installations with the risks being borne by the developer, said Geof Syphers, CEO of Sonoma Clean Power.

The risks mainly are over project location, he said. Since the project is not typical and is over water, there are potentially increased risks associated with construction and maintenance. As a result, the power agency took special care to ensure the developer carries all those risks.

About 25 percent of all vineyards in the county have holding ponds. One hundred of these vineyards have ponds that may be suitable for floating solar arrays, and 20 to 40 are near power transmission lines. A limiting factor for site selection is a pond within about a quarter-mile of a power-transmission line to save the cost of additional poles to reach the grid.

He said the power agency provides more solar power per capita than anywhere else in the country.

Customers have rates competitive with those of PG&E today with savings of from 6 percent to 9 percent on the entire monthly bill, Syphers said. Low-income customers, who qualify for a subsidy, can save as much as 10 percent to 14 percent. In the first year of operations, SCP customers saved $6 million over what they would have paid to PG&E.
