Approve allocation of 15 to 20 percent of federal Secure Rural Schools Funding to Title II and/or Title III funding.
Congress has reauthorized the Secure Rural Schools funding. As part of the reauthorization, Lyon County must allocate between 15 and 20 percent of the funding to Title II and/or Title III. The County has previously chosen to allocate 15% to Title II. As state law requires, the remaining 85% is being split between the School District and the Road Fund.
Title II funds are retained by the Forest Service and are allocated to specific projects that have been reviewed and recommended by a local Resource Advisory Committee.
Funds received under Title III are used to:
- carry out activities under the Firewise Communities program
- reimburse the participating county for search and rescue and other emergency services, including firefighting and law enforcement patrols
- cover training costs and equipment purchases directly related to the emergency service
- develop and carry out community wildfire protection plans.
- provide or expand access to broadband telecommunications services
There is a required 45-day public comment period before using Title III funds. Eligible counties must first publish in a publication of local record a proposal that describes the intended use of the county funds. The county also must submit the proposal to any Resource Advisory Committee for the participating county. Counties are required to certify the use of Title III funds. Please see our FAQs on the certification process.
