RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #28-370-1, including agreeing to indemnify the California Green Business Network, a nonprofit corporation, to pay County in an amount not to exceed $20,000 to promote and help businesses adopt environmentally preferable practices, such as reducing hazardous and non-hazardous waste and increasing water and energy conservation, for the period from March 1, 2019 through March 1, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this agreement will result in a maximum amount of $20,000 from California Green Business Network for green practices. No County funds required.

BACKGROUND:

This grant is a sub-award under California Air Resources Board Contract with California Green Business Network. In collaboration with program partners, County will certify new businesses, report outcomes and participate in working committees for green practices including reducing hazardous and non-hazardous waste and good water and energy conservation practices.

Approval of Grant Agreement #28-370-1 will allow County to receive funds from the California Green Business Network through March 1, 2020. The County received notice of the grant award amount in June, 2019. The County is agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the Contractor for claims arising out of County’s performance under this Contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive funding for green practices.
