RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, designee, or Mary Jane Robb - Sheriff's Chief of Management Services, to apply for and accept a California Department of Boating and Waterways Inland Boat Operator Training Grant in an initial amount of $8,000 for the training of marine patrol personnel for period of May 12, 2015 to the end of the grant funding.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$8,000 Initial Revenue. No County match required.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California Department of Boating and Waterways (DBW) is prepared to award a training grant to the Sheriff’s Office to provide Marine Patrol training for Boating Safety officers throughout the State. The grant funds shall be used for personnel costs, purchases of necessary training materials and equipment and related costs associated with providing maritime officer training courses. DBW recognizes the critical importance of providing professional maritime boating safety and education training and, as such, requested the Sheriff’s Marine Patrol to take part in maritime officer training courses.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not accepting this grant funding would cost the County funds from the General Fund for training of personnel.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

No impact.
