Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
March 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors, during the budget workshop, discussed obtaining input from the Community and County Departments regarding priority projects within the County that could be funded by the Pacific Gas and Electric disaster settlement funds.
August 17, 2021, Item 4(f), acceptance of prioritized spend for projects utilizing Pacific Gas and Electric disaster settlement funds; discussion and request for the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Ad Hoc to work with the Mendocino County Association of Fire Districts to return with a plan for a fair and balanced allocation of $1,000,000 to benefit fire services County-wide.
December 14, 2021, Item 6(a), approval to invest one-time Pacific Gas and Electric disaster settlement funds in the amount of $1,000,000 to fund Mendocino County Association of Fire Districts, with $45,454.55 to each of the twenty-two districts, including approval to award $45,454.55 to Piercy Fire Protection District for purchase of radios, hoses, repairs, gear, and tools.
Summary of Request:
On December 14, 2021, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved investing one-time Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) disaster settlement funds in the amount of $1,000,000 to fund Mendocino County Association of Fire Districts (MCAFD). Through this approval, each of the twenty-two districts will receive $45,454.55 for various purchases and projects according to the BOS approved MCAFD PG&E Settlement Allocations. The BOS approved Piercy Fire Protection District’s (Piercy FPD) proposal to purchase radios, hoses, repairs, gear, and tools.
Since the BOS approval on December 14, 2021, Piercy FPD determined funds would be more appropriately utilized for purchase of a newer Type 3 Engine. Piercy FPD’s current Engine is old, transferred from the US Forest Service, and does not function well enough to ensure adequate response and proper services to the community. Piercy FPD has located a newer Type 3 Engine in Sacramento priced at $68,585, and is prepared to utilize PG&E funds and Piercy FPD savings to make the purchase.
Staff is seeking BOS approval of the revised proposal reallocating $45,454.55 towards the purchase of a newer Type 3 Engine. This proposal change does not affect the BOS’s total PG&E settlement funds allocated to Piercy FPD.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
