RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE recommendations from the Fish & Wildlife Committee for the allocation of 2021 Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund grant funds for seven projects totaling $60,831.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The recommendation will have no impact on the County General Fund. The FWC is proposing to allocate $60,831 or just 30% of the $204,510 propagation funds available as of January 15, 2021. 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:

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 seven 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 proposed allocation, the rationale for the FWC's decision, and any limitations on the use of the funds.

The Internal Operations Committee reviewed and approved staff's recommendations on April 12, 2021 and thanks Ms. Parkes and the Fish and Wildlife Committee for their coordination of the Request for Proposals and project selection process.
