Fire crisis and abatement issues where there is extensive beetle -killed forests and
an ad hoc fire task force to look into the problem. This involves a variety of
agencies from various parts of the region. They are identifying the most crucial
areas, and how to mobilize neighborhoods to address the dead tree issue. A
major problem is the property owners who live elsewhere.

The Forest Service will work with professional woodcutters to address this
situation, following acceptable forest management practices.
Local homeowners are asking if the County would consider an ordinance so that
they can deal with out of area property owners. The County doesn't want to deal
with anything but the dead trees. The County does not want to lien properties.
The trees could be removed at no cost to the County and the property owner,
with the woodcutters selling it as firewood for fuel. YCC or Corrections might be
able to provide some of the labor.
The County is considering a way to contact out of area property owners to make
this suggestion. Some of the agencies have contacted the owners several times
with no response, so the County may have to step in at some level to move this
along.
There is a meeting in La Pine on August 20 to discuss this further. The Board
needs to review the legal ramifications first. Mr. Throop said that the State has
some control over this as well.
