Ivanhoe council backs Tyler County’s Community Wildfire Defense Grant application
Summary
Council unanimously adopted a resolution to support Tyler County's application to the US Forest Service Community Wildfire Defense Grant program, agreeing to help identify at-risk structures and support outreach if funds are awarded.
Council considered a resolution to support Tyler County's application to the United States Forest Service Community Wildfire Defense Grant (CWDG) program and adopted it by voice vote. The resolution states the city would contribute to implementation by identifying at-risk critical structures and supporting wildfire outreach and education if the county's application is successful.
The mayor said the action was requested by Tyler County and the commissioners court and described it as a cooperative, ``piggyback'' effort to allow the city to benefit from county-led planning and assessments. Council members asked about training and related requirements; the mayor and staff indicated the county will drive timing and detailed program requirements.
The resolution directs staff to work with program officers on interlocal agreements if needed and to identify city-controlled properties and outreach needs for the county-led program.
