GHG Reduction <br />(Lifetime, metric tons <br />CO2e) Comments <br />This does not include the electricity savings calculated. I did not add it in, <br />though, because I think the 5280 figure is generous because not all <br />seedlings will survive and the seedlings will have limited impact until they <br />are mature. <br /># of people served in <br />one year <br />1350 <br /># of people served in <br />one year comments <br />GHG Data Complete checked <br />GHG Data <br />Comments <br />Lifetime reduction is based on 40 years. Please note that estimated <br />reduction does not account for the following: Not all seedlings will survive <br />and the seedlings will have limited impact until they are mature. <br />Other Staff <br />Comments <br />BOCC & CFE Review Data and Notes <br />Overall Comments <br />from HRC (BOCC <br />Report) <br />This project combines beautification of neighborhoods with practical use of <br />trees and plantings to reduce flooding and water damage to homes, and <br />includes community education, consideration of income levels and the use <br />of library/community center. <br />Concerns: <br />W hile it is highly likely that this project will support communities that are <br />often marginalized, it cannot be guaranteed. <br />A great climate project, but certainly not prioritizing or addressing social <br />justice or racial equity concerns in any direct way, including recognition of <br />specific communities. Very general about its impact, though as with all tree <br />planting initiatives, a valuable response to climate mitigation. The <br />requesting program itself lacks diverse leadership, doesn't appear to have <br />significant experience with a project like this, and leaves doubt about <br />whether it would successfully be able to engage and work collaboratively in <br />and with communities of color and low resourced communities. <br />No specific plan was shared to target certain populations, but data shows <br />that target populations will benefit. <br />Recommended <br />Application <br />checked <br />CFE Recommended <br />Funding (enter $0 if <br />not recommending) <br />30000 <br />Application Ranking 3 <br />Overall Comments <br />from CFE Meeting <br />(BOCC Report) <br />Targeted approach to planting trees in disadvantaged communities and <br />educating residents. Plan in place to engage and educate tree owners and <br />keep trees alive. Strong partnerships. Deducted $7,000 for admin costs <br />and $3,000 to round down. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: CB1A7685-96B7-4FBD-80E0-8CF756D5E579
