Agreements*
- The County will use the allocated RBS funds for the items outlined in the estimated budget.

- I understand that in order to run an effective state boating program IDPR needs to be aware of local boating ordinances. As such, a copy of all boating related ordinances, if applicable to your county, has been faxed/emailed to the state boating law administrator. I also understand that the ordinances will be posted on the IDPR website to inform state boaters about local rules.
- I understand that all marine law enforcement activities for the current FFY need to be entered into the IDPR law enforcement database no later than October 31.
- I understand that the county must have a Personal Floatation Device (PFD) wear policy that requires all marine deputies to wear a PFD at all times while on duty during on-the-water operations.
