The County Administrator’s Office Grant Program staff collaborate with departments to provide a quarterly report to the Board on County grant activity that includes recent grant awards received, pending applications, and anticipated grant application submissions.
A Grant Steering Committee was established in the wake of the 2017 fires to bring together the relevant departments applying for recovery funding, so that efforts could be both coordinated and prioritized. The GSC has dissolved and in its place is the Grant User Network, a department staff-led forum for best practice and information sharing. The users are County staff who work on grants in a range of capacities.
