Reason for Recommendation:
Federal Forest Reserve funds are disbursed to Counties by Congressional appropriation under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act of 2000. Under this authority, the Board of Supervisors has designated projects in the categories of search and rescue and wildfire education and planning. On October 26, 2006, the Board authorized the solicitation of proposals as a mechanism for allocating the funding budgeted for wildfire eduction and planning among community organizations.
Staff received six proposals, representing a total of 11 projects. An evaluation team composed of two representatives, one from a Resource Conservation District, and the other from the United States Forest Service, and CAO staff. The proposals were reviewed and the team has recommended funding for ten of the projects, for a total of $333,003. A summary is attached.
