Governance
Proposals this community is deciding together.
Climate-program priority ranking for next cohort cycle
Draft — gathering neighbor input to rank which programs the next cohort cycle should prioritize (solar, EV charging, weatherization, rain gardens). Moves to a ranked vote once options firm up.
Neighborhood-zone delivery & install routing
Sequence cohort installs by neighborhood zone (Columbia / Ellicott City / Clarksville) to minimize crew mobilization cost. Vote to ratify the proposed zone order.
Common-fund allocation: reserve for low-income retrofit match
Allocate a portion of the common fund to match retrofit costs for income-qualified neighbors so the climate program stays equitable across every allowlisted Howard zip. Vote on the match percentage.
Vendor selection: geothermal cohort installer
Two qualified geothermal installers bid the neighborhood cohort. Bid A is 8% cheaper; Bid B scored higher on warranty and local references. Ranked vote — recommend the committee summarize before close.
