Court tweaks Title/federal forest funds split to boost firewise projects

Grant County Court · June 17, 2026

Summary

Grant County voted to maintain 85% of federal forest funds for Title I while adjusting Title II and Title III allocations (transcript records Title II adjusted to '-1%' and Title III to 8%); the stated goal is to enhance firewise projects and community fire protection.

The court reviewed the distribution of federal forest funds and approved a motion to keep 85% allocated to Title I while adjusting the other title shares to increase funds for firewise projects and community fire protection. The meeting minutes record an adjustment described as moving Title II to '-1%' and Title III to 8%; the court's stated intent was to allocate more funding to local fire-protection programs.

The court's motion passed 2–0. The transcript language on Title II appears inconsistent (the minutes show "-1%"), and county staff or minutes would need to be consulted to confirm the intended percentage allocation and the mathematical totals before implementation.
