<br />Resource Conservation Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />DATE <br />Page 2 of 2 <br /> <br />IX. FUNDING AND GRANTS <br />Annie brought up on the Council Chambers computer screen the newly established <br />Governor's Energy Office (GEO) website for energy efficiency rebate and grant <br />opportunities with GEO. The website is RechargeColorado.org, which has replaced <br />the old GEO website. Andy explained a number of grants that are available (and due <br />soon), such as the Above Building Code (ABC) grant to establish an above 2009 IECC <br />building code green building program, and the Main Street Efficiency Initiative which <br />had less interest from the group. It was decided that the ABC grant would be a good <br />fit for the LRCAB to pursue. Andy suggested a partnership with members of the Board <br />of Appeals and Mike Jones from the building department. It was suggested by Andy to <br />form a team of 2 members from each board along with Mike to apply for the grant. <br />Andy and Mark agreed to represent the LRCAB, and attend the next Board of Appeals <br />meeting to solicit interest from that group. Tom suggested that we need to look into <br />how we need to formally apply for the grant, and that it needed to come from the City <br />and may need to be run by City Council before any program is implemented should we <br />be awarded the grant. <br /> <br />X.
