This program <br />provides weatherization improvements and HVAC improvements for low <br />income families. These energy efficient improvements are designed to <br />help low- income families save money on utility costs. The program <br />focuses on air sealing, insulation, reduction in water usage, and health <br />and safety improvements. Each year the Board of Commissioners must <br />approve the grant application. The late release of the grant applications is <br />preventing staff from being able to present the applications to the board <br />and return them to the state by the due date. Staff is requesting pre - <br />approval for submission of the application. Funding amounts are <br />determined by the State Energy Office by formula, therefore, pre - <br />authorization will not affect Cabarrus County's funding. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Motion to authorize staff to submit the annual Weatherization and Heating <br />and Air Repair and Replacement Program Grant Application. <br />EXPECTED LENGTH OF PRESENTATION: <br />5 Minutes <br />SUBMITTED BY: <br />Kelly Sifford, AICP <br />Planning & Development Director <br />G -3 Page 141 <br />
