|
Is it Mandatory or Discretionary? |
Discretionary |

There is no mandate for the Sheriff’s Office to accept grant funding to replace a 2007 personal watercraft, currently in the Marine Patrol Division’s fleet. However, if grant funds are not accepted, Sheriff’s Office General Fund budget would need to plan accordingly for future replacement of the aging equipment. |
|
Is the general fund affected? |
No |
|
Future fiscal impact: |
Future equipment maintenance costs will be budgeted accordingly. |
|
Consequences if not approved: |
If not approved, Sheriff’s Office General Fund budget would need to plan for future replacement of the aging equipment. |

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: General Rule. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment and therefore CEQA is not applicable. [See guidelines for the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, 14 CCR 15062 (b)(3)].
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The Sheriff’s Office received a grant award in the amount of $27,000 from the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Boating and Waterways, Boating Safety and Enforcement Equipment Grant - FY 2022/23. These funds will be used to purchase a replacement personal watercraft (PWC) so that an aging 2007 PWC can be retired from the Sheriff’s Marine Patrol Division’s fleet. The new PWC will be registered to and operated and maintained by the Sheriff’s Office. Future maintenance will be funded by a separate grant, the Boating Safety and Enforcement Financial Aid Program. Purchase of a new PWC will bolster the Sheriff’s Marine Patrol Division’s fleet, allowing for safer operations and lower overall maintenance costs.
Approval of today’s requested actions will allow the Sheriff to accept and sign the grant agreement CC22L0609 in the amount of $27,000, recognize the replacement PWC a capital asset and appropriate funding in expense and revenue accounts.
