Competitive grant funds will be awarded based on an application process.
The County of Sonoma is primarily focusing its efforts on identifying opportunities for which it is eligible to apply for competitive grant funds.

An FTE is defined as the hours worked by an individual, compared with the total number of hours in a full-time schedule for that position.
For example: an individual who works 208 hours in a position where the full-time schedule is 2,080 hours per year, would be reported as 0.1 FTE.
