Price City hears proposal to rejoin DNR wildland risk-assessment mapping program
Summary
A Department of Natural Resources (DNR) representative told the Price City Council on June 10 that wildland-fire costs are rising and asked the city to consider re-enrolling in DNR risk-assessment mapping (Price previously participated 2017–2021); no binding decision was recorded.
Jeremy Jorgensen, identified in the transcript as representing the CWS Program, told the council that the costs associated with wildland wildfires are increasing and that a risk-assessment mapping program run by the Department of Natural Resources would help Price plan for and manage wildfire risk. Jorgensen noted Price participated in the program from 2017 through 2021 and asked the city to consider signing up again.
The presentation framed re-enrollment as a planning and mitigation tool rather than a funding commitment; no contract or formal MOU vote was recorded at the workshop. The council did not take formal action during the session, leaving the request at the discussion stage.
