RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE recommendation from the Fish & Wildlife Committee (FWC) for the off-cycle allocation of 2018 Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund grant funds in the amount of $7,811.49 to the Lindsay Wildlife Experience for equipment to be used in its triage wildlife hospital.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The recommendation will have no impact on the County General Fund. The FWC is proposing to allocate $7,811.49 of the $227,856 propagation funds available. 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:
The Internal Operations Committee recommends approval an out-of-cycle Fish and Wildlife Propagation Fund grant request from Lindsay Wildlife Experience (LWE). LWE has identified an acute and urgent need for physiologic monitoring equipment which will be used in their triage wildlife hospital. The attached memo, which was considered by the IOC on June 11, provides background on the grant program, explains the review process performed by the FWC and documents the FWC's reasons for recommending grant funding for the equipment.
