Polk County commissioners unanimously reappoint member to Forest Land Classification Committee
Summary
The Polk County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Jan. 7 to reappoint Jock Dalton to the Forest Land Classification Committee for a four‑year term after receiving a communication from the Department of Forestry.
The Polk County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 7 voted unanimously to reappoint Jock Dalton to the county’s Forest Land Classification Committee for a four‑year term.
Chair (presiding commissioner) said the board had received a communication from Jeff Glasson at the Department of Forestry recommending Dalton’s reappointment and that Dalton has been serving in the position, which should have been renewed a year earlier. The chair described the committee as a small group of woodland owners that reviews properties for forest classification tax status and contributions to the county’s fire fund.
One commissioner asked for more information about the committee’s bylaws and charge before formalizing the reappointment; that commissioner said they would research the committee background. Another commissioner said they would second the motion given positive reviews of Dalton’s performance. The chair suggested contacting Jeff Glasson for additional background.
A motion to approve the reappointment was moved and seconded and passed unanimously. The meeting record does not show named movers or seconds. Commissioners also moved and approved the meeting agenda and the minutes from Dec. 31 by unanimous voice votes earlier in the session.
