NVCF Grant Funding Agenda Item - On January 29, 2019, the Board of Supervisors directed staff to implement a fee waiver program contingent upon availability of a non-County revenue source to backfill any waived fees. Staff have been working with NVCF on the Program which would provide partial reimbursement (50% maximum, up to $3,500) for building permit fees paid for by eligible Camp Fire survivors who choose to rebuild their home in the communities where the fire destruction occurred.
