Commissioner Runyon stated that he was in favor of the overall budget with the exception of the housing loan fund. He requested that the item be voted on separately. He was not in favor of facilitating people getting into financial problems. Mr. Treu stated that it was best for Commissioner Runyon to make a statement that he was not supporting the item solely.

Citizen Input Chairman Fisher opened and closed citizen Input, as there was none. 3 08/25/09 Economic Stimulus Projects Update Tom Johnson, Public Works Mr. Johnson spoke about the New Energy Economic Development (NEED) grant process. Adam Palmer had been formalizing the application. Funding would be allocated in November. Mr. Palmer stated that there were 3 projects identified. The three projects included the solar thermal system for the justice center, the solar photovoltaic shade structure for the Miller Ranch community Center, and the wind testing and mapping study to identify specific wind energy resources in Eagle County. These smaller projects were selected because he believed they'd have a good likelihood of getting support. He asked the board if they wanted to request more money that may reduce the potential to be funded but would reduce the requirement for a county match. ECO build funds could be used for these projects. Commissioner Stavney asked about the cost share. He wondered if there were other funds available for the justice center solar system rather than using ECO build dollars. He wondered what the payoff plan would be over time. He believed that the wind testing and mapping study had the greatest public benefit. Commissioner Runyon believed that the projects should be judged by the global benefit. Mr. Palmer stated that the ECO build committee felt that funds should not be used disproportionately for public projects. Chairman Fisher believed that the county should move forward and apply for the grant and it was appropriate to use the funds for public buildings. Commissioner Runyon moved to approve the application for the NEED grant as outlined in the August, 25th letter to Tom Plant, Director of the Governors Energy Office. Commissioner Stavney seconded the motion. The vote was declared unanimous. 2009 Abstract of Assessment Assessor's Office Mark Chapin, Eagle County Assessor spoke about the Abstract of Assessment.
