Town updates trustees on fire mitigation grants and recent field work; seeks committee proposals for remaining funds
Summary
Staff reported that CUSP and partner groups treated dozens of acres under a Kirkpatrick Family Foundation grant and that Mile High Youth Corps and Team Rubicon completed additional work at no town cost; staff asked the Fire Mitigation Advisory Committee to propose uses for unspent Kirkpatrick funds and to prepare an annual work plan for 2025.
Staff summarized fire mitigation activity funded through partnerships and grant work. The CUSP program and Mile High Youth Corps treated multiple areas along Thomas Trail and other town parcels; staff said some acres were completed without town expense through youth corps labor. The Kirkpatrick Family Foundation award (described by staff as roughly $65,000 initially) was discussed as likely not being fully expended and staff requested the Fire Mitigation Advisory Committee prepare proposals for additional uses or matches to expand the funds through grants.
Trustees asked for specific acreages and costs; staff said they would reconcile expense numbers and follow up. The board acknowledged successful volunteer labor from Team Rubicon and youth corps and the need to produce an annual work plan and budget for 2025 to allocate remaining mitigation funds.
