Motion to Ratify West Norriton Township's Letter of Support for the Clean Communities Investment Partnership (CCIP) Grant Application

Enterprise Community Partners, Rewiring America, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, United Way Worldwide, and Habitat for Humanity are partnering to form a coalition—the Clean Communities Investment Partnership (CCIP)—to submit an application for up to $14 billion in National Clean Investment Fund (NCIF) funding for affordable housing electrification.

Our joint mission is to transform the housing market, save households money, reinvest in communities and tackle the climate crisis. Our approach is centered around four strategies: 

  1. Reduce friction by simplifying the process and experience of home electrification; 
  2. Aggregate consumer demand by creating market leverage and momentum;  
  3. Create financial solutions for every housing type and circumstance that will unlock economic and health benefits for everyone; and
  4. Invest in equity by creating workforce development and wealth-building opportunities for community businesses and members. 
C.

Consider adopting Resolution #23-1711 Authorizing Execution of Cable Franchise Agreement between Township and Comcast of SE PA

Permit each individual at minimum one (1) opportunity to speak.  The President may require an individual who has already spoken to wait until all others wishing to speak have had the opportunity before permitting an additional opportunity to speak.  Once all others have had the opportunity to speak, the President shall determine whether time would allow for additional comment from the individual wishing to speak.  Such a determination shall be based solely on the factor of time and shall not be based on the content or viewpoint of the particular individual(s) seeking additional opportunity to speak.
  4. Provide for a five (5) minute maximum for each individual to offer public comment.  There shall be no ceding or assigning of time.  In no case shall a time limit of fewer than two (2) minutes be designated.  It may be requested that a spokesperson from a group address the Board of Commissioners.
