RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to accept grant funding from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Office of Spill Prevention and Response, Oil Spill Response Equipment grant, in an amount not to exceed $35,000, for the purchase of oil spill response equipment and training.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% State; matching funds are not required.

BACKGROUND:

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Office of Spill Prevention and Response provides grant funds for local agencies at risk of an oil spill to purchase response equipment to contain a spill or protect local resources. The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) plans to purchase a mobile trailer, 1,000 feet of containment boom, absorbent material, personal protective equipment, and a boom deployment-training course.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District will not be able to take advantage of this funding opportunity to obtain equipment and training to help mitigate the effects an oil spill.
