OBJECTIVES FOR FY2015: Planned activity on county timberland in FY2015 will consist primarily of monitoring forest health/performance. PERFORMANCE INDICATORS:2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Actual Actual Actual Planned Planned Acres of Timber Land Managed 96 96 48 48 48 SUMMARY OF KEY FUNDING/SERVICE ISSUES: This fund currently provides for the management of two County-owned timber parcels that were harvested to produce over $800,000 in revenue in recent years. This fund utilizes monies set aside from these timber harvests to perform ongoing timber and land management activities at these sites according to 15-year post-harvest plans. For example, a thinning contract was executed and completed on the Donovan Creek sale area in 2010 to promote the growth of valuable timber species. Subsequent management costs will be covered by future harvest of marketable materials at these sites. In the long-term, these sites and others will have the ability to generate additional County revenue through future harvests, and additional County-owned timber acreage could be harvested and added into this fund. The Transfer Site sale area has been designated for an equestrian facility, and the timber on these lands is no longer being managed under this fund. STRATEGIC BUDGET OBJECTIVES: Support an effective economic development strategy.
