$26 million proposal to the Governor
In 2006, a package submitted to California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger included the cover letter "Funding Allocation for Fire Safe Councils" signed by 10 members of the California Legislature and the associated document "Proposal for General Budget Funding of California's Fire Safe Councils." The document properties for the proposal shows that it was authored by Erica Bisch, the CFSCI Executive Director at the time. The reason for the failure of the proposal is unclear.

The existence of this proposal was not made public to local fire safe councils prior to its submittal. Rather, local councils only found out about it when John J. Benoit, the representative for California State Assembly 64th District at the time, issued a press release.
