Acceptance of a Donation of a Rescue Boat | |
Recommendation | ||
Adopt a resolution authorizing the President of the Board to accept a donation from Mr. David M. Crisp of Azle, Texas, of a 27 foot rescue boat valued at approximately $7,000 to $10,000. The vessel is currently berthed at Coyote Point Harbor. | ||
Background and Discussion | ||
The Sheriff’s Office currently operates three boats that are utilized to perform water rescues and in support of the Sheriff’s Marine, volunteer Diver/Rescue program. One is a 32 foot Farallon which is routinely being used for the additional duty of security in the waters on both sides of the County. The two additional boats are an 18 foot a Zodiac Rigid Hull inflatable and a 14 foot inflatable. | ||
Vision Alignment | ||
Accepting this donation of a rescue boat aligns with Goals No. 2 and 7 by encouraging civic engagement and volunteerism, as well as maintaining and enhancing public safety of all residents and visitors. | ||
Fiscal Impact | ||
The only cost would be the annual maintenance and fuel costs that would be covered under the current Sheriff’s Office budget. Therefore, there is no effect on the net county cost. |
