For the first time, here is a chronological series of some of the discussions and integral votes of the Harrisburg Authority Board during the process of approving the Incinerator retrofit.

Notable to point out is Board member Fred Clark absences, comments, and abstentions. He is absent for the May 22, 2002 and the August 27, 2003. Clark abstains on the September 25th and December 15th 2003 votes.

Under the Public Officials Law, any board member who abstains must provide a basis for his abstention. Clark does not do this.

In 2000, Fred Clark introduced the Resolution that would begin the entire process.
