Commission recommends $8,000 Fish and Game grant for Ukiah Valley Fish and Wildlife to Board of Supervisors
Summary
The commission voted to recommend that the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors approve an $8,000 grant to Ukiah Valley Fish and Wildlife; commissioners noted the county grant balance would remain above $100,000 after the award.
The Mendocino County Fish and Wildlife Commission voted to recommend that the Board of Supervisors approve an $8,000 Fish and Game propagation grant to Ukiah Valley Fish and Wildlife.
A commissioner moved the recommendation and another seconded it; commissioners voted in favor. The motion was recorded as a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors, not as final county approval.
The commission discussed available funds before the vote. A staff member summarized the post‑grant balance, saying that if the board approves the $8,000 the program account would remain “over a 100,000 to work with” for future cycles.
Nut graf: the commission's vote was a funding recommendation; final disbursement requires Board of Supervisors approval. Commissioners also flagged outreach and education elements for future grant proposals and discussed whether to reopen the current cycle to solicit additional applications.
During discussion, one commissioner recommended adding an education and outreach element to invasive species projects and invited a California Department of Fish and Wildlife warden and wildlife biologist to the Feb. 11 meeting for more information.
Ending: the commission directed staff to forward the recommendation to the Board of Supervisors and to continue planning the Feb. 11 off‑site hatchery visit and follow‑up presentations.
