Commission authorizes chairman to send letter clarifying county position on timber harvest
Summary
After discussion of perceived misinterpretation by a Forest Service official, commissioners authorized the chairman to sign a letter clarifying the county's position on timber harvest, with edits to CC titles.
County staff presented a draft letter intended to clarify Lawrence County's position on a recent timber-harvest field trip and said some outside parties had misinterpreted the county's stance. Staff recommended sending the letter to the appropriate Forest Service officials with corrected titles on the CC list.
An agency official present described the confusion and suggested removing a district ranger from the CC list because that person had not been part of the events that created the misinterpretation. Commissioners discussed editing titles for accuracy and then moved to authorize the chairman to sign and send the letter with appropriate edits. The motion passed by voice vote.
The board directed staff to finalize the letter and correct the titles and CC list before sending.
