On April 7, 2009 the Board approved submission of the County Local Plan for Department of Energy American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 funds for energy program and weatherization services. The board order accepted funding for the plan via the California Department of Community Services and Development. An agreement amendment was approved by the Board on January 19, 2010 wherein the term was extended to March 31, 2012. Amendment #3 was approved by the Board on April 13, 2010 to incorporate updated funding terms and conditions, payment and program provisions as outlined by the State, pursuant to ARRA regulations. Amendment #4, approved by the Board on October 26, 2010, incorporated updated U.S. Department of Labor Weatherization Wage Determination as provided by the State of California. Amendment #5, approved by the Board on January 25, 2011, increased the payment limit and incorporated new exhibits regarding funding terms and weatherization equipment and material reimbursement rates for this fiscal year. Amendment #6 was approved by the Board on May 10, 2011 to accept a new Exhibit B (Payment Provisions) to describe procedures for the County to obtain advance working capital for major purchases on behalf of the weatherization program. Amendment #7 accepted additional funds in the amount of $1,101,321.

This amendment #8 is to accept an additional $500,000 in funds from the State. Approval of this agreement will allow the continued provision of weatherization services to program eligible households in Contra Costa County.
