County staff reported the San Juan National Forest will enter a law‑enforcement cooperative agreement covering calendar-year payments of $10,500 and continuing to Dec. 31, 2029. Staff said the county’s contribution was described in an exhibit to the agreement and that the contract covers specific forest access areas and parking lots listed in the agreement’s page 2.
Staff asked that the county attorney or other legal reviewer examine the draft before execution; staff noted the county attorney may be out of the office in the short term and that the agreement will be forwarded for review. Staff also said the agreement specifically excludes abandoned‑vehicle processing that county crews had handled in prior years; the Forest Service will now handle abandoned vehicles on its lands.
No formal approval or vote occurred at the workshop; staff recommended forwarding the draft contract to legal for review and returning the item for action once counsel has signed off.
Ending: Staff will send the draft to county legal counsel for review; commissioners did not take final action at the workshop.
