Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund
DISCUSSION:
As a volunteer 8-member Board, the MMAC plays a vital role as liaison between the community and Humboldt County, providing a much needed voice in the unincorporated area of McKinleyville in matters related to land use planning, the Town Center ordinance, multimodal transportation planning, homelessness, airport land use, community safety and much more. Over the past year, the MMAC has been engaged in many challenging and time-consuming endeavors that have grown beyond the time commitments of the MMAC members. Thus, the MMAC is requesting the Board consider additional support to augment the work of the committee.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with this request are listed below. If approved, a supplemental budget will be required to increase the annual general fund contribution to the Board of Supervisors (BOS) (1100-101) budget by $9,889.
MMAC Annual Budget $2,500
Administrative Support $4,200
Zoom Annual Pro Account $150
IT setup/maintenance of MMAC Emails $2, 660
IT setup/maintenance of MMAC Webpage $379
