The 30-second brief
158 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Inyo County's meetings, most in grants and public safety. The latest, from Oct 27: The Bonanza Peak REDAs required the developer to provide $2,000,000 for a Charleston View firehouse and firefighting equipment before building or grading permits could be issued for Region I. The Region II agreement separately required $500,000 for a CEQA-compliant Charleston View Community Plan and local road signs, with any leftover money held for firehouse and fire equipment maintenance. These are direct, project-linked public safety dollars, even though the underlying development decision was still in progress.
