Agenda
Regular Meeting of BOCC & County Forester
Wednesday, January 11, 2006, 1:30 p. m.
Deschutes Service Center - 1300 NW Wall St., Bend
• Project Wildfire is a great organization for Deschutes County and
the work is rewarding personally and I believe provides outstanding
customer service to the citizens. For the past year and now for
2006, I will serve as chairperson for Project Wildfire, the
consequences are that approximately 20% of my time goes to this
effort. I'm not suggesting this change just that the BOCC and
County Administrator are aware of the program of work impacts and
not surprised by the workload.
• ODF Agreement with Project Wildfire-ODF is planning to
contribute approximately $25,000 to Project Wildfire over the next
18 months for Community Fire Planning and Fire Free campaign, and
we are finalizing an existing agreement with Rural Fire District 2 to
include ODF. This will provide essentially 100% staffing of the
Project Coordinator position. Currently Deschutes County provides
$30K/year (Title III), Fire District 2 and Bend Fire contribute
$10K for the contracted position.
• New Neighborhood Thinning-the work is scheduled to begin later
this week or early next week on 120 acres of lodgepole pine thinning
in La Pine at the New Neighborhood Project, Ed Morrison is the
Contractor. Funded by National Fire Plan $'s.
• La Pine High School has also been working on open space trails and
thinning; we have coordinated two efforts with the high school
forestry program and the Heart of Oregon program which is also
funded by National Fire Plan $'s. We will provide work for both
efforts until June at the New Neighborhood. We've had some media
coverage from the Newberry Eagle but will involve the Bulletin for
future coverage.
• With a combination of Deschutes County Forestry and Project
Wildfire grant applications it appears we will be awarded $75k for
Community Fire Plans, $100K for Fire Free and $150K for fuels
treatment for elderly and economically challenged households.
$325K in total that we'll be developing budgets for soon and these
grants can be extended past one year.
