Summary
The Missoula County Board approved a memorandum of agreement with United Way to formalize collaboration on wildfire resiliency and mitigation after the 2017 fire season, county staff said.
Missoula County approved a memorandum of agreement with United Way to formalize collaboration on wildfire resiliency and mitigation, a county staff presenter told the Board of County Commissioners.
The agreement memorializes a partnership that began after the February 2017 fire season, when United Way acted as the county’s financial agent for donations to people affected by that season, the presenter said. Excess funds from that period helped launch initial wildfire-resiliency projects and the MOA is meant to clarify roles and coordinate future work.
County staff said the MOA “outlines that relationship” and is intended to ensure both organizations understand their responsibilities and collaborate on mitigation, resilience and community preparedness. The board approved the agreement by voice vote with no recorded roll call.
The MOA does not, in the meeting record, commit specific new funding or describe program-level deliverables; it is presented as a framework for partnership and coordination moving forward.
