RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a resolution:
a. Approving the Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) 5-Year Project List for Years 2021-2025; and
b. Authorizing the Resource Management Agency Director to submit the list to the California

For FY 2020-21, RMA is allocating $16.9 million of SB 1 funds.
