Council approves cooperative wildfire-mitigation agreement with state division
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 25-28 to enter a cooperative agreement with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands to participate in the Community Wildland Protection Program (CWPP), citing HFRA-aligned tools for local wildfire-mitigation planning.
The council approved Resolution 25-28 on Sept. 9 to enter a cooperative agreement with the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands to participate in the Community Wildland Protection Program (CWPP).
The meeting packet described the CWPP as "a collaborative framework designed to help communities in Utah mitigate wildfire risks and enhance resilience to wildfires," rooted in federal guidance under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act (HFRA). Councilman Wayne Winsor moved to approve the agreement; Councilwoman Angie Petty seconded and the motion carried with a recorded aye vote by council members.
The resolution authorizes the city to engage in CWPP planning and receive state-supported technical resources to identify and reduce local wildfire hazards. The record does not list specific mitigation projects or funding amounts; those details will be developed in follow-up planning with the state agency.
