Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board's Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Core Services/Other
Strategic Plan Category: 9999 - Core Services/Other
DISCUSSION:
The HDSO has made a donation to the HCSO SAR Program in the amount of $57,220. This is made possible due to support from the Christine and Jalmer Berg Foundation. The donation is specifically for the SAR Program to enhance the program and is not intended to supplant or replace any other budgeted resources for the program. The HCSO SAR Program has evaluated needs and is requesting the funds be used to purchase a rigid hull inflatable boat for rescue operations, supplies (e.g., radios, first-aid kits and splints, rope), clothing and protective gear (e.g., dry suits, helmets), and swift water training.
