CODE 54954.2 (B)) CONSENT CALENDAR 4 1 March 17, 2015 Minutes V. ACTION ITEMS 5 1 Board approval of Financial Statements and Warrant Requests 5 2 Board approval to adopt a phased approach to supporting the Mendocino County Fire Safe Council (FSC) MCRCD has begun building partnerships and submitting grant proposals to develop a Forest Health & Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program. This new programmatic effort arose due to new funding opportunities through AB32 and CAL FIRE and reflects an important goal identified in MCRCD s strategic planning process. The Fire Safe Council is an important partner in servicing the needs of landowners with forested properties. The FSC has limited capacity to meet the growing needs of county residents. They have requested support from MCRCD, including the possibility of transferring organizational management of the FSC to the MCRCD. Staff recommends that we develop a phased approach to providing the FSC with organizational support. The first phase would entail providing the FSC with a small amount of office and storage space. The second phase would entail seeking a small grant to fund a feasibility assessment of the costs and benefits of incorporating the FSC as a standalone MCRCD program (see Memo).
