SUMMARY:Jeffco Wildfire Commission Meeting
LOCATION:Jeffco Administration & Courts Building, 100 Jefferson County Pkwy, Golden,
  CO 80401
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">2024 Meeting Schedule:</span><br /><span 
 style="font-size: 10pt;">February 8</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10p
 t;">June 13</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">October 10</span></p
 ><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">More than two-thirds of Jefferson County
  is within a designated Wildfire Hazard Overlay District, which establishes
  additional criteria for development. Additionally, the county ranks number
  one in Colorado in terms of the number of homes in high and extreme wildfi
 re risk areas, according to Verisk/ISO Stateline Report - with Evergreen an
 d Conifer ranking among the highest risk areas. At the same time, the count
 y and some local mountain area fire departments are facing finite resources
  for mitigation and response.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">T
 o ensure a thoughtful, collaborative approach, and to address the challenge
 s facing all, the Board of County Commissioners agreed to lead and serve as
  a convener by establishing the Jefferson County Wildfire Risk Reduction Ta
 sk Force in November 2019. <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helveti
 ca, sans-serif;"><span id="isPasted" style="color: #14140c; font-style: nor
 mal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight
 : 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-tra

 idth: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-thickness: initial; t
 ext-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inl
 ine !important; float: none;">Following a year of meetings and discussions,
  the Task Force presented its recommendations to the Board of County Commis
 sioners November 11, 2020. The board expressed its gratitude for the task f
 orce's diligent work and were supportive of moving forward with the recomme
 ndations.</span> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Follow
 ing the task force's recommendations in 2020, the commissioners approved a 
 transition from a task force to the Wildfire Commission beginning 2021. In 
 continuing the great work established by the task force, the commission beg
 in to address the recommendations, which were broken into three main areas 
 of focus mitigation, community education and revenue streams. </span></p><p
 ><span style="font-size: 10pt;">In 2022, the commissioners recently earmark
 ed $2.7 million in American Rescue Plan dollars to protect homes from wildf
 ires in Jefferson County. The county will leverage those funds with a new s
 tate grant totaling $2 million from the Colorado Strategic Wildfire Action 
 Program. Jefferson County is one of only a handful of counties to receive t
 his funding. These dollars and others totaling $7.5 million will advance th
 e Jefferson County Wildfire Safe program.</span></p><p><span style="font-si
 ze: 10pt;">There is no single, quick solution to eliminate wildfire risk. A
 s the Wildfire Commission continues to move the needle, stay in the know ho
 w things are progressing, including community engagement and feedback oppor
 tunities as we all do our part in tackling this important issue.</span></p>
