Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
And
I
think
it's
time
to
to
get
going
before
we
go
here.
I
want
to
make
a
couple
of
announcements
first
off.
This
is
the
third
meeting
of
the
budget
review
subcommittee
on
economic
development,
tourism
and
environmental
protection.
A
Remote

will
be
allowed

all
meetings
during
the
interim
members
have
been
provided
information
prior
to
the
meeting
onto
regarding
how
to
access
the
meeting
remotely.
No

C
A
A
We
have
a
motion.
A
second
all
members
voting
to
approve,
say:
aye
opposed,
like
sign
minutes,
are
approved
thanks
everyone
this
morning
we're
gonna
going
to
be
focusing
on
the
volkswagen
settlement
funding
update,
and
I
would
like
to
welcome
to
the
meeting
secretary
goodman
secretary,
madam
secretary,
I'm.
D
A
Would
you
please
announce
yourself
officially
for
the
record
and
if
you
have
anyone
with
you
in
your
room,
if
they
would
also
address
for
the
record.
D
Well,
I
am
alone
at
my
dining
room
table,
but
kenya
stump,
who
is
the
executive
director
of
the
office
of
energy
policy,
will
be
on
this
call
with
us,
and
my
name
for
those
of
you
who
haven't
met
me.
I
think
I've
met.
Most
of
you
is
rebecca
goodman
and
I'm
secretary
of
the
kentucky
energy
and
environment
cabinet.
A
Thank
you.
I
think
I'd
like
to
be
at
the
dining
room
table
myself
well,.
A
D
D
D
As
most
of
you
are
familiar
and
as
you
can
see
in
the
appendix
to
the
to
the
powerpoint
that
we've
provided,
we
we've
been
at
this
for
a
while
in
2020
the
we
received
legislative
authorization
to
proceed
in
in
the
program.
D
It
was
house
bill,
352
and
kentucky,
as
you
know,
if
you'll
kenya,
if
you'll
take
me
to
slide
two
kentucky
received
20.4
million
dollars
under
the
volkswagen
settlement
agreement
to
spin
toward
mitigation,
the
three
categories,
or
the
categories
that
were
identified
by
the
legislature
and
others
as
being
worthy
of
those
expenditures,
were
the
administrative
expenses
which
was
1.4
41.8
percent,
or
about
eight
and
a
half
million
dollars
was
allocated
for
eligible
transit
buses
for
governmental
entities.
D
A
like
amount
was
allocated
toward
the
purchase
of
eligible
school
buses
and
about
up
to
15
or
a
little
over
three
million
dollars
for
zev
equipment
for
electric
vehicles.
Charging
stations
specifically,
which
make
up
the
total
of
the
20.3
million.
There's
a
process
on
the
next
slide,
a
process
for
accessing
the
trust
allocation.
D
The
current
actions
that
we're
involved
in,
if
you
see
on
the
left
of
your
screen,
are
the
transit
bus
project
awards,
river
city,
4.7
million
transit
authority,
2.1
million
lex
tran
one
point:
almost
5
million
and
the
owensboro
transit
system.
156
000.
on
the
right
of
your
screen
is
information
related
to
the
school
bus
project
awards.
We
conducted
a
seminar
for
those
interested
school
districts
in
september
of
last
year.
D
We
requested
that
the
applications
come
in
by
october
9th
of
last
year,
we
received
applications
from
93
school
systems
that
totaled
about
8.1
million
in
potential
reimbursement
for
those
project
applications,
and
we
have
about
400
000
remaining.
D
You
will
notice,
however,
on
a
later
slide
that
we
cannot
go
ahead
and
provide
the
actual
reimbursement
until
we
receive
proof
that
the
the
bus
it's
replacing
has
been
scrapped
and
that
the
new
bus
has
been
purchased
our
current
actions.
As
I
said
last
month,
we
submitted
the
appropriate
form
for
preliminary
review.
I
don't
think
we've
gotten
anything
back
on
that.
Yet
we
are,
that
was
for
the
transit
bus
projects.
D
We
are
preparing
the
appropriate
form
for
the
school
bus
projects
and
we'll
be
submitting
that
in
the
coming
months,
and
we
have
ongoing
discussions
with
potential
grant
partners
for
the
light
duty,
zev
supply
equipment
opportunities
and
we
hope
to
come
back
later
in
the
year.
Perhaps
during
the
session,
I'm
not
sure
when
we've
finished
those
negotiations
and
have
identified
the
grant
partners
for
that,
the
the
next
steps
in
the
project
are
to
submit,
as
I
said,
the
appropriate
form
for
the
school
bus
project.
D
We
will
begin
the
reimbursement
project
and,
of
course,
that
doesn't
occur,
as
I
said
until
the
until
the
buses
are
delivered
and
the
old
buses
are
scrapped
and
there
has
been
some
manufacturing
delay.
It's
my
understanding
for
some
of
these
transit
systems
and
for
the
school
districts
in
getting
their
orders
fulfilled.
So
so
we'll
stay
on
top
of
that
and
keep
an
eye
on
it
and
make
those
reimbursements
as
we
can.
D
D
A
All
right
are
there
any
questions
from
any
of
the
members
use
the
chat
function
if
you're
remote
and
have
some
questions.
A
Okay,
senator
mcdaniel,
even
though
you
didn't
have
to
use
the
chat
function.
E
C
E
The
slide
that
I,
like
the
best
of
anything
I've
ever
seen,
is,
I
believe,
it's
number
four
process
for
accessing
kentucky's,
vw
trust
allocation,
so
assuming
so,
let's
skip
the
individual
agency
action
of
scrapping
the
bus
and
buying
the
new
one.
If
those
if
those
actions
had
already
been
taken
from
where
we're
at
right
now
to
the
time,
they
should
see
money
in
their
account.
D
It
should
be
in
fairly
short
order.
Their
applications
have
to
be
totally
complete,
including
the
proof
that
they
have
scrapped
the
the
old
buses
and
the
purchase
invoices
and
other
documentation
of
receipt
of
the
new
buses.
So
we
should
be
able
to
expend
those
funds.
I
think
kenya
might
be
able
to
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
F
Yes,
sir,
I'm
kenya
stump
executive
director
of
the
kentucky
office
of
energy
policy,
we're
overseeing
the
process
of
reimbursement
of
the
volkswagen
funding
to
the
eligible
entities.
We
have
had
preliminary
discussions
with
wilmington
trust.
They
anticipate
that
their
review
so
we're
doing
pre-approval
of
our
application
to
draw
down
the
funds.
F
They
anticipate
that
they
should
be
able
to
approve
that
with
less
than
they
have
up
to
60
days.
They
anticipate
being
able
to
do
that
in
a
shorter
time
period.
So
at
most
we
have
75
days
before
we
could
do
that,
but
we
anticipate
that
being
much
shorter
than
that.
Based
on
preliminary
discussions,
we've
had
with
wilmington
trust.
F
Oh
definitely
definitely.
F
F
F
D
Might
add
that
they
needed
to
have
the
requisite
federal
transit
match
as
well,
and
so
these
are.
These
are
transit
authorities
that
have
the
match.
A
Okay,
you
talked
a
little
bit
about
ev
charging
stations.
Madam
secretary,
I
have
to
show
my
ignorance
on
ev
charging
stations.
Are
they?
Is
there
a
guideline
or
something
that
all
ev
charging
stations
have
to
be
the
same?
All
buses
have
to
have
the
proper
connectivity.
D
You
have
a
fast
charge
and
a
much
slower
charge,
which
is
typically
used
at
homes
or
hotels
where
people
are
staying
overnight
or
whatever,
and
then
the
fast
charge
can
charge
and
I'm
no
expert
either,
but
the
fast
charge
I
understand,
can
charge
in
15
minutes
to
45
minutes
and
give
you
enough
charge
to
to
go
out
and
drive
a
couple
hundred
miles.
So
kenya
may
want
to
add
something
to
that.
F
Yes,
madam
secretary,
volkswagen
settlement
is
very
prescriptive
on
universal
access
of
the
electric
vehicle
charging
equipment,
including
complying
with
ada
accessibility
of
our
charging
locations.
F
All
the
chargers,
all
the
chargers
have
to
be
universally
accepted
by
all
types
of
vehicles,
so
we
our
projects
with
the
charging,
whether
it
be
level,
2
or
dc
fast
charge,
must
be
able
to
accommodate
all
vehicles.
F
Just
federal
highways
has
specific
requirements.
The
volkswagen
settlement
does
not
have
specific
requirements
other
than
the
requirements
on
the
equipment
and
access.
A
Okay,
now,
if
I'm
not
mistaken
the
the
for
the
school
buses
anyway,
it
did
not
necessarily
have
to
be,
it
could
be
various
types
of
of
power.
Is
that
correct.
F
Yes,
yes,
sir,
that
is
correct.
We
remained
fuel
neutral,
unlike
some
other
states,
so
we
allowed
cleaner
diesel
as
well
as
propane
or
even
some
other
fuel
choices,
as
well
as
the
conversion
to
electric
school
buses.
Most
of
our
districts
chose
cleaner
diesel
and
propane.
B
F
Not
aware
of
any
of
our
school
districts
that
applied
for
funding
for
an
electric
school
bus,
we
do
have
an
electric
transit
bus
that
kytc
kytc
can
talk
about
in
the
in
their
update
and,
I
believe
that's
with
owensboro
transit
authority.
A
Could
I
have
a
list
of
the
school
districts
a
breakdown
of
what
they
applied
for
it,
the
whether
it's
propane
or
or
diesel
yeah.
F
Yes,
we
can
get
you
that
we
have
a
list
on
our
website,
we'll
be
happy
to
modify
that
to
include
what
they
requested
and
we'll
be
happy
to
follow
up
with
you
on
that.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
Miss
stump,
I
believe,
you're
still
up
for
another
presentation.
A
Okay,
my
mistake,
ms
hanley:
are
you
on.
G
G
G
Okay-
and
it
was
great
working
with
the
environmental
cabinet,
they
worked
extremely
closely
with
us
to
help
ensure
as
many
districts
as
possible,
we're
able
to
receive
funding,
and
we
are
so
appreciative
for
that.
So,
thank
you
very
much
kenya
and
your
team,
and
we
we
thank
you.
G
We
only
have
one
slide
today
and
bear
with
me,
and
I
will
share
my
video
as
well
okay,
so
we
have
one
slide
today
and
this
is
very
short
and
sweet
for
you,
sir,
for
our
2020
inventory,
2020
2021
inventory.
We
have
9
317
diesel
buses,
106
propane,
105,
hybrid.
G
G
G
That's
a
good
question:
I
can
verify
that
for
you.
I
have
been
here
for
seven
years
and
it
was
prior
to
my
my
being
with
the
department.
So
I
can
verify
that
for
you
and
get
that
to
you,
and
that
was
from
a
previous
grant
that
they
received
no
hybrids
have
been
purchased
after
that.
Grant
that
I'm
aware
of.
A
I
have
to
comment
that
this
is
the
first
committee
meeting
I've
attended
where
there's
only
been
one
one
slide.
I
have
to
commend
you
that
that's
wonderful,
so.
A
B
I
am
representative
beckler,
I'm
actually
here
with
alyssa
I'm
with
the
same
one
slide,
I'm
very
proud
of
that
one
slide.
So
that's
all
the
kentucky
department
education
has
to
offer
today.
If
you
all
have
any
additional
questions,
we'll
be
glad
to
answer
them.
B
I
think
alyssa
covered
everything
that
we
have
today.
A
Interesting
interesting,
okay
is
how
about
mr
perez.
C
C
C
Okay,
unfortunately,
I
have
a
few
slides
but
it'll
be
short
so
again
good
morning,
I'm
eric
perez,
I'm
with
the
office
of
transportation
delivery
within
the
kentucky
transportation
cabinet.
Today,
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
our
use
of
the
volkswagen
settlement,
funds
that
were
provided
to
our
office
for
public
transit
systems
throughout
the
state.
C
C
Priority
was
given
to
maximizing
federal
transit
grants,
I'll
discuss
the
vehicles
being
purchased
to
replace
the
older,
more
polluting
diesel
engines
and,
as
a
result,
the
significant
reductions
of
nitrogen
oxide
emissions
that
is
estimated
to
be
achieved.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
kentucky
energy
environmental
cabinet.
As
they
worked
with
us
on
these
projects.
They
helped
review
and
approve
the
transit
projects
that
were
submitted
by
our
office
for
eligibility.
C
Again,
as
I
already
mentioned,
there
was
four
agencies
they
were.
I
think
you
asked
the
question
of:
did
paducah
apply
or
were
there
any
other
agencies
and
know
that
we
only
had
the
four
transit
agencies
that
applied,
which
was
the
transit
authority
of
river
city,
the
transit
authority
of
northern
kentucky,
the
lex
tran
and
as
well
as
owensboro
transit
system.
C
All
the
other
transit
agencies
were
aware.
However,
it's
more
of
the
urban
systems
that
have
the
larger
vehicles
that
would
qualify
as
being
eligible
buses
to
be
replaced.
Paducah
transit
authority
does
have
a
few
of
those
larger
buses,
but
they
had
already
received
a
grant
to
replace
all
the
buses
that
they
currently
had.
C
So
first,
I
want
to
talk
about
the
transit
authority
of
river
city,
known
as
tarc,
which
covers
the
louisville
area.
Tark
was
awarded
4.8
million
towards
the
purchase
of
47,
cleaner
emission
replacement,
transit
buses.
15
of
those
buses
have
already
been
delivered
and
are
in
service,
and
we
actually
received
our
first
invoice
for
that
this
week.
It's
about
1.3
million
we're
currently
reviewing
the
backup
documentation
and
once
we
think
we
have
everything
in
order
we'll
send
it
to
eec
energy
environmental
cabinet
for
their
review.
C
Mrs
thump
will
help
look
at
that
and
if
everything
looks
in
order,
then
we'll
hopefully
be
able
to
make
payment
to
them.
The
remaining
32
buses
are
expected
by
the
end
of
2021
for
tarc
and
tarc
estimates,
a
lifetime
knocks
benefit
or
reduction
of
271
tons
for
all
47
buses.
C
Next
is
the
transit
authority
in
northern
kentucky
known
as
tank,
which
covers
the
northern
kentucky
area.
Tank
was
awarded
2.1
million
towards
the
purchase
of
six
clean
diesel
replacement
buses.
One
of
those
buses
have
already
been
delivered
they've,
yet
to
send
us
the
invoice
and
backup
documentation
for
that
they're
in
the
process
of
working
on
that
and
the
remaining
five
buses
are
expected
by
the
spring
of
2023
and
tank
estimates.
A
lifetime
knox
benefit
of
2.9
tons
for
all
six
buses
and
again
the
reason
these
buses
are
taking
so
long.
C
C
All
six
of
their
buses
are
expected
by
august
of
2022
and
they
estimate
a
lifetime
knox
benefit
of
10.9
tons
for
all
six
buses,
and
then
last
is
the
owensboro
transit
system,
which
covers
the
owensboro
area.
They
were
awarded
156
000
towards
the
purchase
of
one
electric
bus
and
express
depot
charger.
C
A
Thank
you.
When
I
look
at
the
slide
for
lux
tran,
they
got
a
total
of
six
buses
for
one
and
a
half
million
dollars,
but
tank
has
six
buses
for
2.1
million
dollars.
C
Yeah
the
difference
for
that
is
again.
This
is
towards
the
purchase.
So
obviously,
if
you
look
at
tar,
tart's
got
47
buses
for
only
4.8
million,
so
it's
not
x
amount
per
bus.
They
all
had
federal
transit
grants
already,
and
some
of
them
need
a
different
match
for
those
grants
depending
on
their
project,
and
so
some
of
them
are
being
matched
at
like
as
much
up
to
80
and
some
20,
some
50.
It
was
just
based
on
their
requests
that
they
had
need
for.
C
A
That,
okay,
in
your
slides,
you
talk
about
the
reduction
of
times
for
all
buses.
That's
total!
That's
not!
Each
bus,
correct.
C
Right,
yep,
that's
total
and
again
we,
the
the
transit
agencies,
are
the
one
that
provided
that
estimate
and
I
think
they
go
online,
there's
a
calculator
that
they
use
to
develop
that
and
it
differs.
If
you
look
across
them,
it
doesn't
always
seem
to
equal
out
because
it's
the
type
of
bus
that
they're
buying
as
well
as
some
of
them
might
travel
more
miles
than
the
other.
So
therefore
they're
reducing
more
emissions,
because
of
that.
C
Yes,
yes,
they
have
to
scrap
them,
which
means
to
render
them
inoperable
they're
they're
required
to
cut
a
three-inch
hole
in
the
engine
block
and
also
on
the
chassis.
They
have
to
cut
the
rails
completely
in
half,
and
so
they
once
they
do
that
and
they
get
the
new
bus.
They
send
us
pictures
of
that
with
all
the
backup
documentation
and
we
verify
that
before
we
we'll
reimburse
them.
A
I
would
expect,
after
doing
that,
that
they
could
take
those
buses
to
some
type
of
recycling
center
and
get
funds
for
that.
Is
that
correct.
A
C
A
Well,
we
don't
so.
This
may
be
a
record
for
for
a
committee
meeting
one
half
hour,
so
I
thank
you
all
for
your.
Your
presentations
keep
up
the
good
work
and
at
this
time
I
will
accept
the
motion.
