MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Approval of Budget Amendment No. 10-006
ITEM NO. 3
Background:
Energy Block Grants are anticipated to be highly competitive. In order to receive support, we must
have an exceptional program. During the November 16th informal meeting, the Board discussed the
creation of a Community Development Financing Institution, comprised of local governments in the
Treasure Coast region and private banks. This public/private partnership would create a revolving
loan fund specifically geared towards low-interest loans for solar projects and green business. The
Board further discussed the need to hire a consultant to assist the County in this endeavor.
Recommendation:
Board approval of Budget Amendment No. 10-006, authorizing the County Administrator to transfer up
to $24,999 from contingency to hire a consultant to assist with the Energy Block Grant application to
create a Community Development Financing Institution.
