Commissioners table Community Wildfire Protection Plan contract
Summary
The board voted to table a professional services agreement with CI International to develop a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) that would assess wildfire risk and identify mitigation and preparedness actions. The motion to table passed unanimously; presenters later invited the board to a community event.
Chairman Johnny Owens moved to table a proposed professional services agreement between CI International and Comanche County — on behalf of Comanche County–Lawton Emergency Management — to develop a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). Commissioner Josh Powers seconded the motion; Commissioners Owens, Powers and Ryan John voted aye.
Meeting text described the CWPP as a plan that "will assess wildfire risk, identify priority mitigation and preparedness actions, and enhance coordination among local, state, federal, and volunteer fire service partners," and noted the plan could support eligibility for state and federal wildfire mitigation and resilience funding. The minutes do not record further debate or a next-step timeline for reconsideration of the agreement.
