CONSIDERATION OF ENDORSEMENT OF JOINT APPLICATION WITH LANE COUNTY FOR HUD ENERGY INNOVATION GRANT (memo distributed) Mr. Henry introduced Greg Page, Technology Coordinator, to provide back- ground information. Mr. Page stated this is a request for the council to authorize staff to write a letter of endorsement on behalf of the Mayor and council for a joint City-County application for a Housing and Urban Development inno- vation grant for community energy conservation. Lane County will be the applicant and grantee. However, the majority of the grant funds, approx- imately $860,000 plus administrative costs, would be subcontracted to the City, which will administer the loans occurring within the city limits. The competition for this nationwide grant is great and a letter from the council would make the application more competitive. Mr. Page stated the grant would contain three major projects: 1) a low-interest loan program for the weatherization of apartment buildings having five or more attached living units; the EWEB residential con- servation service program was approved last week by the Eugene Water & Electric Board which will provide for a loan program for owner-occupied and investor-owned properties having four units or less after the required court tests and funding hurdles are overcome; 2) a low-interest loan program for energy conservation in small businesses through: a) water/ space heating/cooling/lighting; b) process modifications that conserve energy and/or use renewal resources; and 3) a county-wide energy infor- mation and referral service which would serve two functions. The first would be to coordinate the promotion and educational activities of the residential and commercial loan funds. The second would be to provide information referral to the general public on energy-related programs and services through the use of a centralized telephone number. e 6/11/80--15
