Commission adopts code language creating Forests & Farms conservation lands trust fund
Summary
The board adopted an amendment to Ordinance 2024‑48 to create Division 6, establishing the Forests & Farms Conservation Lands Program Trust Fund to define collection, handling and use of conservation funds. Staff said the amendment implements an earlier program approval.
The board held a final public hearing on an amendment to Ordinance 2024‑48 to create Division 6, the Forests & Farms Conservation Lands Program Trust Fund, and voted 4‑0 to adopt the code language.
Chief planner Dodie explained the amendment is short and procedural: it sets out how funds collected for the county’s Forests & Farms program will be handled and expended, consistent with the program adopted earlier by the board. A member of the public thanked commissioners for the recognition and urged stewardship of the funds.
The ordinance amendment creates an accounting and procedural framework for receiving and disbursing conservation funds; no specific acquisitions or expenditures were authorized by the ordinance alone.
