She said this helps in a very tight budget year, it helps <br /> 6 the climate and helps the County's bottom line. <br /> 7 Commissioner Dorosin said he cannot support the amendment. He said the application <br /> 8 and vetting process developed for the climate tax is the right way to go. He said the schools <br /> 9 went through that process and were awarded grants. He said the proposed amendment <br /> 10 eliminates County oversight, and creates two priority lists. He said there could be five great <br /> 11 projects in pot 1 that could have a bigger impact than projects in pot 2, but pot 2 projects could <br /> 12 still get money. He said if the goal is to spend the money in the way that is most impactful, the <br /> 13 way it is set up now is most effective. He said he is not concerned about funds going to other <br /> 14 entities if those entities have strong projects. He said residents of those municipalities also pay <br /> 15 this tax. He said the goal of these funds was to find and support projects that meet the Board's <br /> 16 goals on climate change, wherever they come from. <br /> 17 Commissioner McKee said he is not going to support Commissioner Fowler's <br /> 18 amendments, but will support Commissioner Greene's on climate tax funds. He said he liked <br /> 19 both proposals, but unfortunately will vote for one and against another. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Chair Price said both proposals have good points. She said during the first year of the <br /> 22 climate tax, there were flaws in the process, but a new system was worked out that was more <br /> 23 fair and more community oriented. She said there is great enthusiasm from the community, <br /> 24 which speaks highly to the merit of the project. She said she would like to leave the process <br /> 25 alone for another year. She said she does have some issues with municipalities vying for the <br /> 26 funds, but she would like to give the Commission for Environment another round. <br /> 27 Commissioner Fowler said she is willing to withdraw her amendments and support <br /> 28 Commissioner Greene's. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 <br />
