Background
Since 2009, the Sheriff's Office has been applying annually for the grant funding to offset the costs to patrol the Rubicon Trail. The grant from the California Department of Parks and Recreation provides 75% of the operating costs, and the County is responsible for a 25% match.
Reason for Recommendation
