6 <br /> Only one project totaling $68,616 has been submitted from either School district, and no <br /> funding allocated for the schools has yet been recommended for approval. Attachment 2 <br /> provides additional information. In light of the Board's interest in supporting school climate <br /> action projects and the special challenges facing schools as they operate during a pandemic, <br /> the current grant deadline for school projects will be extended through the end of November. <br /> County staff have already begun reaching back out to the schools to offer direct assistance in <br /> generating project proposals for this extended FY2021-22 round of funding as well as the <br /> FY2022-23 round of funding set to open later this year. <br /> The information below describes the scoring, ranking, and reasoning of the review of general <br /> applications. <br /> The Community Climate Action grant program received seven (7) applications in this round <br /> from a variety of general applicants representing non-profit and public organizations whose total <br /> requests add up to more than $880,000. While staff fielded some questions from prospective <br /> applicants from the private sector, no private sector applications were received. <br /> Grant applications were completed over the summer and reviewed and scored by the <br /> Commission for the Environment (CFE) and the Human Relations Commission (HRC). On <br /> September 13, 2021, each of these Commissions voted to forward their final scoring and <br /> comments to the BOCC. <br /> The following is a rank-order summary table of the combined project scoring and <br /> recommendations, and more details on each project are available in Attachment 1: <br /> Funding Recommend Total Rank* <br /> Project Applicant Requeste ed Funding Running Score Out of 7 <br /> d Level total Out of application <br /> 25 is <br /> Low Income Rebuilding <br /> HVAC Together of $113,000 $113,000 $113,000 22.8 1 <br /> Replacement the Triangle <br /> Neighborhood NC <br /> Energy Sustainable $115,000 $90,000 $203,000.0 21.2 2 <br /> Resiliency Energy 0 <br /> Project (NERP) Association <br /> Food Waste Town of $4,000 $4,000 $207,000.0 20.4 3 <br /> Monitor Carrboro 0 <br /> Food Waste Eno River <br /> Monitor Farmer's $3,765 $3,765 $210,765.0 19.6 4 <br /> Market 0 <br /> Sustainability <br /> Upgrades (Bike <br /> Rack and Carrboro $17,000 $17,000** $227,765.0 18.4 5 <br /> Charging Arts Center 0 <br /> Station element <br /> only) <br />
