Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On November 9, 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 21-156, approving an allocation in funding, an application for funding and the execution of a grant agreement to HCD for the Fire-Hazard Abatement Ordinance Implementation Planning ($107,936) and Fire-Hazard Abatement Ordinance Implementation Public Services ($187,064) projects.
Summary of Request:
The County has proposed and received approval from HCD to rescope two awarded grant projects, 17-MITPPS-21011 (Fire-Hazard Abatement Ordinance Implementation Planning) and 17-MITPPS-21012 (Fire-Hazard Abatement Ordinance Implementation Public Services). Rescoping the two projects into one planning project will allow for a feasible project that better suits the County's current needs.
Mendocino County's Fuel Abatement Ordinance and Enforcement Planning project will devise an improved regulatory approach for the County to address hazardous vegetation and combustible material to reduce fire hazards. The project will research approaches taken by other communities to encourage and enforce hazardous fuel abatement requirements to ensure public safety, complete a comparative analysis of existing ordinance language to refine the County's existing ordinance language, develop a recommended approach for Mendocino County's fuel abatement program, develop updated ordinance language and create a forecast of the resource allocation needed for the County to adopt and implement the plan to aid in future implementation of the ordinance.
With the Board's direction, staff will develop and submit the required amendment forms to HCD on behalf of the County by HCD deadlines, and the Chief Executive Officer or designee will sign and execute the amendment and other documents related to the grant. The resolution presented is on an HCD-mandated template.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Provide alternate direction to staff.
