GHG Data Comments Staff adjusted estimates. <br />Other Staff Comments <br />BOCC & CFE Review Data and Notes <br />Overall Comments from <br />HRC (BOCC Report) <br />W hile it talks about the employee demographics and support for Durham, this is more for Orange <br />County; it also doesn't break down how much of the product goes to support social justice vs <br />business—Manufacturing of solar panels is a very socially and environmentally unjust endeavor <br />(e.g., child labor in Congolese cobalt mines)—W hile a valuable initiative for the farm and its <br />recognition that is supports a diverse community of workers as it works to increase their wages, <br />the impact here is incidental to the social justice and racial equity work, with a notable passion <br />toward increasing the wages of those workers with these savings—I like to see opportunities that <br />encourage just labor practices and laws but struggle to see guarantees that the value of this grant <br />is passed on to the benefit of those employees. W e do want to encourage businesses like this <br />which support our regional county education systems, but there is a tenuous relationship between <br />the solar implementation and the elevation of the workers' pay—The impact on marginalized or low- <br />income communities lacks specificity. Percentages are useful, however 64% of 300 people is <br />different than 64% of 12 people. <br />Recommended <br />Application <br />checked <br />CFE Recommended <br />Funding (enter $0 if not <br />recommending) <br />30000 <br />Application Ranking 2 <br />Overall Comments from <br />CFE Meeting (BOCC <br />Report) <br />CFE was very impressed by this grant. They applied last year and were turned down but took <br />advice and recommendations to make this year's grant request very appealing. Stronger, more <br />realistic business/farm application than last year's with increased partnerships/collaborators. <br />Notes for Applicant Could Red Hawk add something to their packaging to increase education (maybe a link to info <br />about the project?) <br />Contracting <br />Award Amount (Format <br />as follows: $XX,XXX.XX) <br />$30,000.00 <br />Does this applicant have <br />a W9 and EFT in the <br />system? <br />No <br />Correctly Submitted <br />Contracting Documents: <br />Contracting Status <br />Vendor Number <br />Grant Project Implementation <br />GHG Reduction (Annual, <br />metric tons CO2e) / GHG <br />Reduction (Lifetime, <br />metric tons CO2e) have <br />adjusted. <br />unchecked <br />Post Award Status <br />Comments <br />Award Tracker Notes <br />Grant Project Completion <br />Payment Complete.unchecked <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 1EDD1EF6-0E3A-40E1-B431-94002662BCDF
