FIGHTING THE BRADFORD ISLAND FIRE
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Amend the Board of Supervisors ' 1993 Legislative Program to add
item #34 , providing for the sponsorship of legislation to recover
the costs of fighting the Bradford Island fire in November, 1992 .
BACKGROUND:
On December 8, 1992, the Board of Supervisors voted to request the
County' s legislative delegation to assist in providing funding for
those fire districts which fought the fire on Bradford Island in
November, 1992, even though Bradford Island is not a part of any
fire protection district in the County.
Preliminary discussions with Senator Boatwright' s office indicate
that the Senator would be willing to assist in attempting to locate
a source of funding from existing State agencies such as the
Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Boating and Waterways,
State Fire Marshal or other possible funding sources .
In order to formalize the Board's .sponsorship of these efforts, it
is recommended that the Board formally amend its 1993 Legislative
Program in order to include this additional issue.
