(County Board makes donations and approve a grant)....It happened at this week's Board of Supervisors meeting.

They approved a request from District 3 Supervisor Mike Kelley. $2,000 from the Community Benefit account will go to support the El Centro Moose Lodge 1033 to cover the costs associated with the replacement of an air conditioning unit. Another request came from District 1 Supervisor Jesus Eduardo Escobar. That request was also approved. $2,000 from the Community Benefit account will go to support the Calexico Rotary Club's Festival De Mariachi Sin Fronteras and Grito de Independencia events scheduled for September. The Board agreed to donate a 2012 Ford E-350 to the City of Calipatria due to the Cities dire need for their day-to-day operations and budget constrictions. The vehicle had been declared surplus. The City of Calipatria also received an emergency grant of $45,000 from the Community Benefit Program account. The city sought the grant to off-set expenses due to a network and data loss incident. The grant funds will assist in the installment of a server, establishing a cybersecurity network, and costs for an audit due to the lost data.
