RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE comments to the California Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment on the draft CalEnviroScreen 3.0 that would change the definition of "disadvantaged communities" and affect access to Greenhouse Gas Reduction Funds.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If CalEnviroScreen 3.0 is adopted, several areas in Contra Costa County will no longer be classified as "disadvantaged communities" for purposes of accessing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Funds. This means the County, and cities within the County, will have priority for fewer funds. The exact amount is not known.
