Board prioritizes recreation plan and agrees to revisit sage‑grouse plan
Summary
Members agreed to prioritize creating a recreation plan and to revisit and simplify the county sage‑grouse plan, noting federal litigation and shifting federal guidance could affect state/federal coordination. Chair (speaker 1) will prepare an action item for the next meeting.
Board members discussed multiple county plans that need attention, with the chair (speaker 1) saying a recreation plan is a personal priority closely tied to the public lands use plan. The chair suggested simplifying the sage‑grouse plan by referencing active state work to make the county document more usable.
Staff (speaker 4) warned that federal litigation and changes to the federal sage‑grouse plan make it difficult to finalize a county version now, and that coordination with the planning commission will be required. A member (speaker 6) seconded prioritizing revision of the sage‑grouse plan and a recreation plan, and the chair agreed to draft an action item and calendar the work for the next meeting while cautioning about open‑meeting requirements for any subcommittee work.
