Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 38, September 20, 2024
(a) Grants shall be distributed commensurate
with the amount of Fees collected from the owners of Habitable Structures
within the SRA. Proportional distribution of funds shall be measured over the
following spatial and temporal scales.
(1)
The CAL FIRE Unit/Contract County shall act as the geographic boundaries when
accounting for Fees received and Project expenditures.
(2) Expenditures over a rolling seven (7)
year period (current year plus six (6) prior years) from this Grant program in
any CAL FIRE Unit/Contract County shall be proportional to the amount of Fees
collected from that CAL FIRE Unit/Contract County, and the amount appropriated
by the Legislature for these purposes.
(3) Funding shall be determined to have been
distributed proportionally if it is within 10% of the calculated benefit amount
determined in paragraph (2) above.
(b) To accomplish the goal of proportional
distribution of funds by CAL FIRE Unit/Contract County, the following shall
occur:
(1) The amount of Fees appropriated to
the SRAFPF Grant Program by the legislature for the current fiscal year, minus
any administrative fees required by CAL FIRE to implement the program, shall be
made available for grants.
(2) The
percentage of total Fees collected by each CAL FIRE Unit/Contract County from
the prior fiscal year shall be calculated to the nearest tenth of a
percent.
(3) The percentage of Fees
collected, calculated in paragraph (2), shall be applied to the total funds
available, calculated in paragraph (1), to determine the grant funding
available for projects in each CAL FIRE Unit/Contract County.
(4) The grant funds available for Projects in
each CAL FIRE Unit/Contract County shall be made available on the SRAFPF Grant
website concurrently with the advertisement of the SRAFPF Grant Program annual
application window.
(c)
To meet the proportional distribution of funds described above, any individual
SRAFPF Grant request in any funding year shall be capped at $250,000.
