According to state requirements, public comments can submitted from March 8 through April 4.

Sheriff Martin Ryan said in a release Friday that “this year a two-step application process will be required to allow public comment and feedback before final submittal. The preliminary application is due March 7.”

The application submission opened a 30-day public review and comment period. After that will follow the final applications, which are due on Monday, May 2. The State is using an Internet-based “On-Line Grant Application” process as the means to apply for State funding.

The Amador Sheriff’s Office grant application is for law enforcement activities. The preliminary application will be available online by visiting the California State OHV Grants and Cooperative Agreements program website. Hard copies may be requested by contacting Amador County Sheriff’s Sergeant Andrew Mendonsa at (209) 223-6785.

Current State regulations require annual public participation in the fund allocation process. The agreements support Off-Highway Vehicle management activities within the national forest, including operations and maintenance, restoration, law enforcement, education and safety.
