Tuesday July 30 2019 RCD and Grant Planning

CaseyD met with CaseyS from the RCD at Shingles (316 Madrone.)

a number of interesting and unknown points on the Grant came up.

  1. the CalFire grants are for a minimum of $750K
  2. they are intended for regional solutions, and it's not clear that the Butano Canyon _itself_ is a region.
  3. so for a regional solution the Canyon should focus on
    1. Evac plans, "Fire Emergency Access and Forest Resiliency projects"
      1. ladder fuel reduction
      2. forestry insight on road stability and stump removal


With respect to our Neighbors to the South the RCD's executive staff asks:

  • "Why form another Fire Council, the folks to the south don't have enough of an involved population to support it, and you Butano folks are already spread thin."
  • use RCD, or Fire Safe San Mateo County ( basically the RCD ) as the pivot point for granting
  • perhaps a South Coast Advisory Council

CaseyD agreed to take these points to the September 21st meeting.
