RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE recommendations from the Fish & Wildlife Committee for the allocation of 2018 Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund grant funds to ten projects totaling $101,355.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The recommendation will have no impact on the County General Fund. The FWC is proposing to allocate $101,355 or 45% of the $227,856 propagation funds available as of January 12, 2018. Fish and wildlife propagation funds are restricted to costs for the protection, conservation, propagation, and preservation of fish and wildlife, pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 13100, and are budgeted in the Fish and Game Fund (110200).


BACKGROUND:

On November 22, 2010, the IOC received a status report from Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) regarding the allocation of propagation funds by the Fish and Wildlife Committee (FWC). The IOC accepted the report along with the recommended modifications to improve the grant process in the future. The modifications included (1) updating the FWC Conflict of Interest Code, which was accomplished, and; (2) having the IOC conduct a preliminary review of annual FWC grant recommendations prior to Board of Supervisors review, which is now a standing referral to the IOC.  
  
Attached is a memo describing the outreach and selection process and criteria, and transmitting the grant funding recommendations of the County's Fish & Wildlife Committee for full or partial funding of ten projects. The Fish & Wildlife Committee exercised care in limiting allocations to the direct costs of each project for activities that protect, conserve, propagate, and preserve fish and wildlife. The grant matrix attached to the transmittal shows each project in summary form, including the amount requested vs. the recommended allocation, the rationale for the FWC's proposal, and any limitations on the use of the funds.  
  
The Internal Operations Committee reviewed the proposed allocations on April 9 and recommends approval of the project funding as proposed by the Fish & Wildlife Committee.
