The newly formed Outdoor Recreation Mitigation Board held an organizational meeting to review a draft grant application, confirm eligibility and prioritization rules, elect a chair by acclamation (Andy), and set timelines for rulemaking and a summer grant launch. The board emphasized prioritizing search-and-rescue and EMS reimbursements, using prepopulated data from state agencies, and designing documentation requirements to balance accountability and applicant burden.
