She said they might have resources that other groups might 8 not have. 9 Commissioner Fowler asked why Orange County Schools received more than the Chapel 10 Hill Carrboro City Schools. 11 Amy Eckberg said it was because this is the first time Orange County Schools has applied 12 and Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools has received a large share of funds over the years. 13 Commissioner Fowler asked why several scored 17 and only one received funding. 14 Amy Eckberg said greenhouse gas emission reduction was a factor in the decisions and 15 that is true for this one. 16 Commissioner Hamilton said it's important to spread around funding, but she also wants 17 to consider impact. She said she looks at the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. 18 Amy Eckberg said that reductions in greenhouse gas emissions is ranked 4 in the rubric. 19 Commissioner Richards said she was pleased to see the higher number of applications. 20 Chair Bedford said with the Inflation Reduction Act, non-profits will file a 990T and if they 21 are paying people living wages, it is between 6%-30% cash back from the US government. She 22 said that whoever ends up owning the solar at the end is the one that has to file the tax return and 23 get the cash back. She had asked if EMPOWERment and churches had factored that into their 24 budgets. 25 Amy Eckberg said she does not know about EMPOWERment but the other two had it 26 factored in. She said she would make sure EMPOWERment knows about this. 27 28 A motion was made by Chair Bedford, seconded by Commissioner Hamilton, to approve 29 funding for the recommended Community Climate Action Grant projects for FY 2023-24. 30
