County approves Good Neighbor agreement to continue participation in Carson National Forest prescribed burns
Summary
Taos County approved a supplemental Good Neighbor Agreement to allow participation in extended seasonal prescribed burns with the Carson National Forest, authorizing county personnel to assist should the forest extend its prescribed-fire season.
Taos County commissioners on Sept. 2 approved a Good Neighbor Agreement supplemental project agreement that allows the county to participate in seasonal prescribed burns conducted by the Carson National Forest should the forest extend its prescribed-fire season.
County fire staff explained the supplemental agreement extends the previous arrangement so county personnel can participate if the Forest Service expands the burn season. Commissioners moved and seconded the approval and recorded unanimous votes.
The action extends the county's ability to collaborate on prescribed-burning operations; the transcript does not detail specific burn locations, acreage, or operational conditions, nor does it describe additional funding for the county beyond participation authority.
