BACKGROUND: As part of the FY 2019-20 budget, the Board of Orange County Commissioners (BOCC) created the Orange County Climate Action Fund dedicated to accelerating climate change mitigation actions in Orange County. This decision was motivated in part to help the County meet the climate change mitigation goals set by the Board in recent years: • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions community-wide by 26 percent by 2025 (from 2005 levels). • Transition to a 100% renewable energy based economy by 2050. For the 2022-23 funding cycle, $550,150 in funding was budgeted to support climate action projects that will benefit Orange County residents both socially and financially. Following the direction of the Board of Orange County Commissioners (BOCC), the process for soliciting and selecting projects to receive funding was conducted through a formal Community Climate Action Grant (CCAG) program. For this grant cycle, the BOCC reserved half of the total funding for this grant program ($275,075) to be awarded to projects submitted by either of Orange County's two public school districts. The remaining half ($275,075) was to be made available to all other eligible general applicants in this round. The Community Climate Action grant program received seven (7) applications in this round from a variety of general applicants representing non-profit and public organizations whose total requests add up to $585,873. No private sector applications were received. One (1) project, totaling $368,000 was submitted from the Chapel Hill Carrboro City School district. 2 Grant applications were completed over the summer and reviewed and scored by the Commission for the Environment (CFE) and the Human Relations Commission (HRC). In fall 2022, each of these Commissions voted to forward their final scoring and comments to the BOCC. The following is a rank-order summary table of the combined project scoring and recommendations. More details on each project are available in Attachment 1: Total Rank* Funding Recommended Running total Score Out of 7 Project Applicant Requested Funding Level Out of applica_ 26is tions General Applicants: Habitat Rooftop Habitat for $112,000 $100,000 $100,000 24.2 1 Solar Humanity Rebuilding Weatherization Together of $150,000 $25,000 $125,000 23 2 the Triangle Food Waste Eno River Monitors Farmers $4,500 $4,500 $129,500 21.8 3 Market Town of $89,243 $40,575 $170,075 17.1 4 203 Solar Project Carrboro Fleet Town of Electrification Pilot Chapel Hill $74,600 $50,000 $220,075 17 5 Solar Roof The $134,664 $55,000 $275,075 15.8 6 ArtsCenter Refillable Water The $20,866 $0 $275,075 10.9 7 Bottle Station ArtsCenter Total Requested by General Applicants: $585,873 $275,075 $275,075 (Funds available: ($275,075) School Applicants: Emission Reductions Chapel Hill Through HVAC Carrboro City $368,000 $275,075 Replacements Schools $275,075 19 1 Total Requested by Schools $368,000 (Funds available: $275,075) * All projects were placed in rank order by CFE and HRC voting. 3 FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Community Climate Action Grant Tax funding of$550,150 in FY 2022- 23 intends to identify impactful projects and distribute these funds promptly to accelerate action on the urgent issue of climate change and to help further stimulate the local economy. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable to this item: • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their dependents. Social Justice and Racial Equity is the most heavily-weighted factor in scoring projects proposed through this grant program, ensuring that the equitable distribution of funds and the repair of environmental inequities are a central element of each funded project. Local investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy in Orange County provides direct reduction of monthly energy bills and supports jobs and investments in clean energy technologies. • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or policies. Reducing energy usage from the electric grid improves air quality impacts. Improving local air quality helps to protect the health of vulnerable populations in Orange County whose health is disproportionately affected by ground-level ozone and other emissions. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The following Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal impacts are applicable to this item: • ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND WASTE REDUCTION Initiate policies and programs that: 1) conserve energy; 2) reduce resource consumption; 3) increase the use of recycled and renewable resources; and 4) minimize waste stream impacts on the environment. Investing in local climate change mitigation actions will conserve energy, reduce resource consumption, and increase the use of renewable resources. • RESULTANT IMPACT ON NATURAL RESOURCES AND AIR QUALITY Assess and where possible mitigate adverse impacts created to the natural resources of the site and adjoining area. Minimize production of greenhouse gases. The Climate Action Fund will continue to support high-impact projects which will improve local air quality and minimize the local production of greenhouse gases, reducing Orange County's contribution to the adverse impacts of climate change on human and natural resources both inside and outside of the County. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board 4 1) Receive the grant project funding recommendations from the Human Relations Commission and the Commission for the Environment for the FY 2022-23 Orange County Community Climate Action Grant Program; and 2) Approve funding for the recommended Community Climate Action Grant projects for FY 2022-23. 5 Attachment 1 - CCAG 2022-23 Project Descriptions, Scoring, and Comments for General Applicants and Schools Below is a set of expanded details for each proposed project, in rank order per HRC and CFE scoring.The quoted text was pulled directly from various sections of the submitted applications.Also summarized below are the comments from the HRC and the CFE, along with scores and funding recommendations. General Applicants: #1 Ranked Project—Habitat for Humanity Applicant(Collaborators): East Chapel Hill Rotary,Southern Energy Management Funding Requested: $112,000 Recommended Funding Level: $100,000 Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 24.2 Project Description: "To install rooftop solar panels on 14 newly constructed affordable Habitat homes in Hillsborough and Chapel Hill. This initiative will be undertaken in partnership with East Chapel Hill and Hillsborough Rotary Clubs, Southern Energy Management and Strata Clean Energy." Project Benefits: "The solar installations will help address inequities in access to green technology in Orange County,while promoting environmental and resident health by decreasing the amount of fossil fuels burned. Limiting monthly energy costs is a critical component of housing affordability. The addition of a 5.4 kWh rooftop solar system will save each qualified Habitat household approximately $780 per year in energy costs." CFE Comments:The CFE thought this application was well conceived and well done. They liked the collaborations Habitat has and the fact that the solar panels are free. It was mentioned that Habitat is well organized and well-funded. It was pointed out that the money offset in energy savings is statistically spent in the community which is an important point to highlight. It was also mentioned that local contractors would be used to install the panels which are being donated. The CFE liked the fact that Habitat has a proven track record and spends money quickly. It was also mentioned that 100%of the households are households of color and 90%are women led households.The CFE remarked that Habitat is affecting the lives of people with big savings in electricity. HRC Comments: The HRC mentioned that while this project helps some and not the whole community, it is an excellent project and Habitat has a strong history of education, outreach and serving minorities; 100%of customers are minority. Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $54 #2 Ranked Project—Rebuilding Together of the Triangle (RTT)Weatherization Applicant(Collaborators): Rebuilding Together of the Triangle (Orange County Home Preservation Coalition) Funding Requested: $150,000 Recommended Funding Level: $25,000 6 Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 23 Project Description: "To expand the provision of supplemental weatherization services to Orange County homeowners below 80%area median income. These owners have been identified through the work of the Orange County Home Preservation Collaborative. Projects would include weatherization services for owners that are not eligible for the state weatherization program, repairs that are preventing the state program from serving an otherwise eligible client, or enhanced weatherization and electrification measures that go beyond what existing funding programs will support such as window repairs, heat pump water heaters,fuel switching from propane and natural gas furnaces to heat pumps and replacement of gas cook stoves with electric induction models. Project Benefits: "This project is built on the foundational work of the Orange County Home Preservation Coalition (OCHPC). The OCHPC is a collaborative of 12 local government and community organizations that provide home repairs and modifications to Orange County residents primarily low- income or marginalized households. These households actively apply for energy efficiency services that they could not provide for themselves. Homeowners in need will see lower utility costs and safer, more comfortable homes, while we all benefit from the reduction in emissions." CFE Comments: This project received high scores from the CFE, however it was recommended to partially fund the project this year knowing that they are still spending down previous years' grant awards which were funded at the full amount requested. HRC Comments: The HRC feels this project can make a significant impact for minority households. They questioned how families will learn about the opportunity, but recognized the role the Orange County Home Preservation Coalition plays in helping to reach households in need of weatherization. The HRC commented that this project helps some but not the community as a whole and that teaching people about weatherization and doing outreach in targeted areas will go a long way towards achieving energy efficiency and cost savings. Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $386 #3 Ranked Project—Eno River Farmers Market- Food Waste Monitors Applicant(Collaborators): Eno River Farmers Market(Orange County Solid Waste, Brooks Contractors,Climate Reality Orange County) Funding Requested:$4,500 Recommended Funding Level: $4,500 Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 21.8 Project Description: "We are requesting funds to pay for 2 compost monitors for the Eno River Farmers' Market (ERFM) Community Compost Collection site. Monitors will work during market hours throughout the year to assure that only compostable items are collected and will provide education to ERFM customers and vendors about composting.They will also assist the ERFM Manager with community outreach in Northern Orange County to build awareness of the ERFM Community Compost Collection Site beyond the Market. Monitors will also be responsible for record keeping and setting up the compost collection table and bins and breaking it down at the end of the Market each Saturday." Project Benefits: "The monitors will provide education to community members about composting and encourage household compost collection.This will help Orange County to decrease the amount of waste going to landfills, reduce methane emissions at the landfill, reduce transportation to a Waste and 7 Recycling Center to drop off food waste, and will lead to the creation of rich compost that will increase the carbon capture of the soil in Orange County and the surrounding area." CFE Comments: CFE reviewers favored this proposal as it offered a nature based climate solution which they felt was important. They want to encourage applications outside of technological solutions that have strong education components. The CFE expressed that this is an example of small dollars making a big impact. It was mentioned that the Hillsborough farmer's market is heavily used.There was a desire to make sure that the compost monitors were taking every opportunity to promote and educate visitors about the benefits of composting. The CFE felt that in the future the County should pick up the cost of the compost monitors as it seems to be an on-going operating expense. HRC Comments:The environmental benefits of the project align with social justice benefits as less waste would be going to landfills in minority communities.There was a feeling that the applicant was leveraging existing impact and there was a desire to see more growth and outreach with minorities, however the HRC felt that this project was inexpensive and worth funding. Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $106.27 #4 Ranked Project—Town of Carrboro-203 Solar Array and Educational Display Applicant(Collaborators): Town of Carrboro(Orange County) Funding Requested: $89,243 Recommended Funding Level: $40,575 Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 17.1 Project Description: "The Town of Carrboro requests funding to construct a solar photovoltaic array and educational display on the 203 Project, a new building located at 203 S. Greensboro Street in downtown Carrboro. The 203 Project is a collaborative effort between the Town and Orange County to build a community-based facility containing Town offices, the Orange County Southern Branch Library, WCOM radio and other amenities. The array will help the 203 Project attain US Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (USGBC LEED) Gold equivalent performance goals for the building and help the Town meet additional goals outlined in the Town's Community Climate Action Plan, municipal Energy and Climate Protection Plan and Comprehensive Plan. The educational display will highlight the sustainable features of the building and educate visitors on all the possibilities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air and water quality through green building practices. These features will be prominently displayed in a highly visible, central location, serving to effectively demonstrate the Town and County's robust commitments to climate action." Project Benefits:The solar photovoltaic array will produce 102,700 kWh/year and the educational display will engage all visitors in the building. All residents of Carrboro and Orange County will benefit from the project's greenhouse gas emissions reductions resulting from reductions in electricity usage as well as reduced urban heat island effect from the solar array.The educational display and solar array will provide visible examples of the Town and County's commitment to climate action and sustainability in a prominent, highly visible location frequented by many for training and other pursuits in downtown Carrboro. 8 CFE Comments: The CFE liked the educational opportunity this project provides to the public given the amount of visitation the building will receive as a public library and its other uses and expects that education be prioritized as reasonable. The project would showcase environmental technology and promote renewable energy for a large segment of residents. The partial funding amount is another investment towards a larger goal as was done last year when it was recommended to provide only partial funding and encourage the Town to apply again this year. HRC Comments:The HRC felt that some Orange County residents may not have access to transportation to get to this facility. While not adverse to the local opportunity,they would have liked to have seen the social justice component built out more and address how they would provide meaningful outreach to the community. Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $133 #5 Ranked Project—Town of Chapel Hill-Fleet Electrification Pilots Applicant(Collaborators):Town of Chapel Hill Funding Requested: $74,600 Recommended Funding Level: $50,000 Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 17 Project Description: "The requested funds will be used to help purchase and pilot test, 1 electric garbage truck and 1 electric commercial mower with charging support equipment. These vehicles will replace older fossil fuel vehicles currently operating in the fleet. Lessons learned from operating this newly available equipment will be proactively shared with all other local governments in Orange County to help inform our shared interest in adding more electric vehicles to our fleets and better prepare all parties to take advantage of upcoming federal funding opportunities. Project Benefits: "Switching to electric vehicles would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve local air quality for residents and improve the working environment for the town staff who use these vehicles daily." "Garbage trucks are used daily to provide their essential service in every neighborhood across Chapel Hill.These heavy-duty vehicles drive long distances each year and burn thousands of gallons of diesel fuel in the process. Their pattern of stopping and starting during those miles, reduces their efficiency and increases the wear and tear on the vehicle's brakes. This driving pattern becomes an efficiency bonus when using regenerative braking in an electric vehicle. Garbage trucks also return to the depot each night, which can enable them to be fully recharged for the next day. These factors make them an ideal fleet vehicle to electrify to help reduce lifetime costs and neighborhood based emissions." "Commercial zero-turn lawnmowers are critical pieces of equipment that maintain the functionality of 1,376 acres of parkland and open space. This space is distributed across town to bring it close to town residents." Both vehicles start early in the morning and often operate close to residential areas. The reduction in vehicle noise associated with operating the electric versions of these vehicles would improve the livability of all Chapel Hill neighborhoods and reduce fumes and diesel exhaust in these neighborhoods." 9 "Vehicle decals and signage would promote and educate residents about the positive impacts of the project." CFE Comments: The CFE felt that the garbage truck had more benefits for the community and recommends providing partial funding for the garbage truck portion of the application and no funding for the mowers. While the CFE agreed that the mowers can also help improve air quality and reduce noise, it was felt there were more impacts to the community at large with the garbage truck. The CFE also liked that other funding sources were being knitted together and used to support the acquisition of the garbage truck; they liked that climate action funds were being matched and maximized to enable the funding of such a big purchase. The CFE noted that garbage trucks are heavy users of fossil fuels and local governments are strapped for paying for things like this as they are recovering from pandemic expenditures, however it was also noted that Chapel Hill has a large budget and more flexibility to shift funds around than other entities. The CFE expressed a desire to see an educational truck wrap used that promotes the use of clean energy technology.This will be a very visible way to educate as the truck travels through various neighborhoods in Orange County. HRC Comments:The HRC pointed out that garbage trucks drive by the Rogers-Eubanks Community on their way to the waste and recycling center which is an important point to make as this neighborhood has historically been subjected to the environmental impacts of living near this facility. The HRC liked the fact that the garbage truck would reduce emissions and air pollution in the community and suggested that there is a good opportunity for outreach in regards to the environmental justice impacts on the community. Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $251 #6 Ranked Project—The ArtsCenter—Solar Array Applicant(Collaborators):The Arts Center Funding Requested: $134,664 Recommended Funding Level: $55,000 Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 15.8 Project Description: "The ArtsCenter is the largest provider of arts education in Orange County. Since its inception 50 years ago, it has grown from a single music class into a dynamic multi-disciplinary educational arts center serving students of all ages. "The ArtsCenter and David A. Gange Architecture propose partnering with NC Solar now to install a photovoltaic system on the roof of the newly renovated ArtsCenter at 400 Roberson Street in Carrboro. This solar energy solution will not only significantly offset the ArtsCenter's utility costs; it will also provide long-term financial savings through a variety of solar energy rebates." Project Benefits: "This 99.84 kW system is projected to generate 128,426 kWh annually. Installation of a photovoltaic system will not only significantly offset the ArtsCenter's utility costs but also through net metering,the ArtsCenter would receive credit on its monthly electric bills for the excess electricity it adds to the grid. This project will enable the ArtsCenter to become impervious to unknowable utility rate increases. By installing a PV system, the ArtsCenter will be making a powerful statement about their responsibility as a community center to incorporate green building initiatives into their renovation project. Part of this responsibility is educating their community on the importance of green building. If the ArtsCenter receives funding for this project, they will share the story on their website and track the 10 reduction of greenhouse gasses. This story will serve as an inspiration to other businesses and residents to find new ways to reduce the community's carbon footprint. This project opens up opportunities for programming. As the ArtsCenter increases its focus on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics), a solar project such as this, offers an opportunity to educate about clean energy through the arts." CFE Comments: The CFE felt this was a worthwhile project that would advance clean energy in the community and suggests this project could be scalable and turned into a bigger system in the future. The CFE recommends greater community engagement be prioritized in future applications and intentional effort toward social justice and racial equity. HRC Comments: Overall,the HRC felt that the ArtsCenter does great work but this project needed to build out the social justice aspect more. Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $161 #7 Ranked Project—Water Bottle Filling Station Applicant(Collaborators):The ArtsCenter Funding Requested: $20,866 Recommended Funding Level: $0 Total Score (Out of 26 pts): 10.9 Project Description: "The ArtsCenter proposes installing two water bottle filling stations with water fountains, one in the newly renovated ArtsCenter at 400 Roberson Street in Carrboro and the other outside its building adjacent to the Libba Cotton Bikeway. This upgrade will allow the ArtsCenter to provide fresh, filtered water to the greater community while diverting thousands of plastic bottles from the waste cycle." Project Benefits: "This project is part of a much larger building project to renovate a new home for the ArtsCenter, incorporating green design and sustainable features wherever possible.Through funding received from Orange County, we are installing EV charging stations as well as a-bike charging stations. This project adds to these initiatives and further decreases the carbon footprint of the new building. By encouraging the usage of reusable water bottles,this project will reduce the impact that plastic water bottles have on the environment. A 16.9 ounce water bottle has a total carbon footprint of 82.8 grams of carbon dioxide. (if it traveled overseas,the number is even higher). Reusable water bottles take less oil to produce and replace all the plastic bottles that would have been used, reducing the burden on landfills, oceans, streams and all other places that plastic ends up." "Pre-pandemic,the ArtsCenter typically welcomed 35,000 visitors a year. With the new location and increased commitment to diversity, equity, inclusivity and accessibility,this number is slated to grow. If only half of its visitors refill their water bottle rather than use a plastic water bottle, in one year over 1.5 tons of CO2 would be reduced. This project offers a unique education opportunity. The indoor equipment comes with a "green ticker" which tells users the number of 20 oz. plastic water bottles that have been saved from waste. Not only will this educate the ArtsCenter's community of the impact of refilling water bottles, it will also serve as an inspiration for ArtsCenter patrons to find other ways to reduce waste. Grant Dollars Requested Per Metric Ton of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduced During Project Lifetime: $767 11 CFE Comments:The CFE expressed appreciation for the proposed project's focus on reducing single use plastic waste, however the CFE gave this project a low ranking because they did not think this would produce as much "bang for the buck". It would reduce plastic waste but not fossil fuel use in Orange County. It was mentioned that it was a worthwhile proposal and that they could reapply next year. HRC Comments: Overall,the HRC felt that the ArtsCenter does great work but they felt this particular project needed to build out the social justice aspect more. They suggested making a better tie in to how the filling stations could help kids on a scholarship, how minority families can save money, or how homeless could get access to the filling stations. School Applicants: #1 Ranked Project—Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools- Emission Reductions Through HVAC Replacements Applicant(Collaborators): Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools(Duke Energy and Piedmont Electric Cooperative) Funding Requested: $368,000 Recommended Funding Level: $275,075 Total Score (out of 26 points): 19 Project Description: "CHCCS is requesting funding of any or all of the following projects:The purchase of a variable frequency drive (VFD) to be applied to Phillip Middle School's cooling tower and McDougle Elementary's 16 air handler units, in addition to 5 replacement 14 SEER 2.5 ton heat pumps at Culbreth Middle School and 12- 14 SEER wall mounted heat pumps at Seawell Elementary School." Project Benefits: "CHCCS total energy consumption equates to 15,388 tons of omitted greenhouse gasses each year. CHCCS is mindful of its role as one of the largest energy consumers and contributors of greenhouse gasses in Orange County and seeks to reduce its carbon footprint. The proposed projects would lead to several primary benefits with many ancillary benefits including: reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (286 tons/year), annual energy savings (up to$54,201/yr), lower demand profiles, beneficial electrification opportunities, improved indoor air quality, reduced noise and occupant comfort." CFE Comments:The majority of the CFE felt this was a worthwhile project, however moving forward, the CFE intends to make recommendations for the BOCC to consider regarding distribution of grant funding for the schools which may include: Identifying and proposing a suite of projects for the schools to consider and simplifying the grant application to make it easier for school districts to take advantage of these funds. The CFE recognized that school staff capacity is a limiting factor and Orange County Schools do not have dedicated sustainability staff. HRC Comments:The HRC was supportive of this project and felt that it benefited everyone overall.They would have liked to have seen more engagement with marginalized communities specifically.
