Commission pre-authorizes Stage 1 fire restriction pending state recommendation
Summary
Commissioners approved a motion to authorize the chair to sign a Stage 1 fire restriction if the DNRC recommends it, citing rising fire risk; motion carried by voice vote to enable a prompt local response if conditions require it.
With significant wildfire activity in surrounding areas and dry conditions forecast, the commission considered a draft resolution authorizing Stage 1 fire restrictions. Commissioners discussed the timing and coordination with the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) and other neighboring jurisdictions.
Commissioner (speaker 3) offered a motion to adopt the prepared resolution and allow staff or the chair to execute it if the DNRC recommended Stage 1 restrictions; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Commissioners said the approach balances preparedness and interagency coordination and instructed staff to have the final resolution ready to sign following DNRC guidance.
