D <br /> COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO -8/29/06 <br /> M <br /> jp <br /> DEPARTMENT: FIRE <br /> L <br /> AGENDA ITEM: Intergovernmental Agreement with the USDA, Prescott National <br /> Forest <br /> M <br /> Approved By: Date: <br /> 8/16/06 <br /> Department Head: Darrell Willis <br /> Finance Director: Mark Woodfill <br /> City Manager: Steve Norwood ...,F .g/0Z <br /> Background <br /> The City of Prescott Fire Department (PFD) and Prescott National Forest (PNF) have <br /> enjoyed a very cooperative, mutually beneficial relationship for many years. Since 1990 <br /> when the Prescott Area Wildland Urban Interface commission was established, this <br /> relationship has blossomed into a model of collaborative efforts nationwide. Currently <br /> the two agencies depend on each other's resources for planning, fuels reduction, <br /> Wildland Urban Interface protection, training, wildland fire and disaster response. In <br /> 2001 the City established a fuels reduction crew that has worked collaboratively and <br /> cooperatively with the PNF to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire in our community. <br /> These coordinated efforts have had a very positive effect on reducing the risk in certain <br /> areas of the City. <br /> Status <br /> Currently, the PNF has offered the PFD an opportunity to enter into an IGA that will pay <br /> the PFD approximately $100,000 over the next year by conducting fuels reduction work <br /> and mitigation in boundary areas adjoining the City of Prescott. The scope of work <br /> includes fuel breaks, thinning and prescribed fire operations that will be conducted on <br /> Federal lands adjacent to private lands to protect homes. This proposed work would be <br /> done in conjunction with planned projects within the City of Prescott. <br /> One of the PFD's objectives is to work in conjunction with the PNF on any fuels <br /> treatments that we share common boundaries with. This IGA assists both the PNF and <br /> PFD in planning for future work. <br /> This opportunity has just been brought to the PFD, if this agreement is not completed by <br /> the end of August the funding will not be carried forward into the new federal fiscal year. <br /> Financial <br /> By entering into this agreement the PFD will be able to reduce the expenses to the <br /> wildland budget in the General Fund. Depending upon the amount of work done, this <br /> could be a $100,000 saving. <br /> Recommended Action: MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 3772 <br /> 1 <br />
