(Sponsors: Supervisor Haschak and Supervisor Gjerde)

End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board of Supervisors appointed the ad hoc committee for one way in, one way out communities. The Board of Supervisors has approved the continuation of CSA 3 and budgeted for its continuance.
Summary of Request:
Sherwood Firewise Council has been working with the BOS's ad hoc committee. Sherwood Firewise has obtained grants from the Community Foundation of Mendocino County and pro bono work from KMTG law firm in Sacramento to develop and create the framework for a benefit zone using CSA 3. Much work has been done which provided critical access for firefighters during the Oak Fire and relieved incoming traffic on Sherwood Road so that a safe evacuation was executed. Creation of a Benefit Zone for Sherwood Road using the CSA 3 structure will allow continual maintenance of these emergency access routes. County Counsel has been involved in the planning meetings. Next steps will require staff time and some resources to have an engineering report and to run an election in order to set up the benefit zone. Direction is requested from the BOS to direct staff to continue this process, determine the appropriate department for oversight, and approve funding for the engineer's report for the pilot program.
Alternative Action/Motion:
No action or alternative options.
