Fire mitigation volunteers cut $10,000 of work in Green Mountain Falls; committee seeks modest funding for outreach events
Summary
Paul Yingling of the Fire Mitigation Advisory Committee said Team Rubicon volunteers completed about $10,000 worth of mitigation work over two days while the committee used approximately $100 in public funds; FMAC requested future modest funding for events and clarity on accessing Kirkpatrick Family Fund monies.
Paul Yingling, speaking for the Fire Mitigation Advisory Committee, thanked the board for support of a Team Rubicon event that mobilized 30 sawyers over two days. "We put 30 sawyers in the field over 2 days... That's about $10,000 worth of work, and we did it for a $100 of public funds," Yingling said.
Yingling said FMAC expects its next public-education home-hardening session (April 28) to cost nothing and later hopes to host a firefighter appreciation event estimated at about $1,000. Trustees asked staff to clarify how additional FMAC requests would be handled relative to the previously approved Kirkpatrick Family Fund allocation and whether a separate discretionary line item should be created for committee activities.
