RECOMMENDATION(S):

CONSIDER accepting a report on the Cleaner Contra Costa Challenge, as recommended by Supervisors Mitchoff and Gioia.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Cleaner Contra Costa Challenge is being funded by a $199,000 grant from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.

BACKGROUND:

On October 9, 2018, the Board accepted a Climate Protection Grant from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. Under this two-year grant, the County -- working in partnership with the Cities of San Pablo, Antioch, and Walnut Creek, Sustainable Contra Costa and 511 Contra Costa -- has introduced the Cleaner Contra Costa Challenge. The Cleaner Contra Costa Challenge is an online platform that allows residents to create an online profile for their household, and then take actions that create a cleaner, healthier community and save money.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Under the grant agreement, the County is serving as the administrator for the grant. The purpose of the grant is to identify marketing and outreach strategies that are most effective in reaching residents in the diverse communities of Contra Costa. Sustainable Contra Costa is the lead for the marketing and outreach activities. A key strategy for success is for residents to form teams, in terms of energy and natural resources, and take the Challenge together. See CleanerContraCosta.org for more information.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to accept the presentation means the Board will not have an opportunity to learn about the progress of the Cleaner Contra Costa Challenge.
