On October 18, 2022, the Board of Supervisors signed Resolution #22-206, authorizing filing of an application for a multi-level update of the local coastal program in the amount of $2,177,399 for Mendocino County and authorized the Chief Executive Officer to execute the grant agreement and submit all documents if awarded. Furthermore, on April 19, 2023, the County entered into grant Agreement No. LCP-22-06, with the California Coastal Commission in the amount of $2,177,399, through December 31, 2026 which specifically calls out details of the grant awarded and the subsequent contracts.
