FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no costs involved with assessing the potential of joining the <br />program. If the County chooses at a later date to join, grants are available from ICLEI and other <br />source's to cover the costs of analysis, plan development and implementation. The City of <br />Durham obtained a $50,000 ICLEI grant and funds from the N.C. State University Industrial <br />Extension Service for this purpose. In addition, federal funds are available through the USDOE <br />Clean Cities Program, the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program and the <br />State Energy Program. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board authorize the ERC <br />Director and the County Engineer to contact participating local governments in the area, explore <br />funding opportunities, and report back to the Board in April on the potential benefits and costs <br />of joining the CCP program.
