RESOLUTION NO, 73-01
WHEREAS, forest counties having United States National Forests within their boundaries

counties during most of the last century; and
WHEREAS, federal land policies during the past decade have shifted away from multiple
use land management; and
WHEREAS, Congress has recognized that these policy shifts have negatively impacted
local communities and the health of our National Forests; and
WHEREAS, Congress has passed HR 2389 which seeks to reconnect local communities
with decisions made on their national forests and invest in improving the health of our forests
and watersheds; and
WHEREAS, HR 2389 makes provisions for safety net payments to counties for up to six
years with either 15% to 20% of these funds being allocated to projects which would enhance the
health and safety of US National Forests.
NO1¥, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL VED, that Jefferson County, which has elected to
receive safety net payments under the provisions of HR 2389, hereby designates 20% of its
safety net payments to be allocated to Title n or Title In projects under this legislation; and

RESOLUTION NO. 74-01
WHEREAS, the counties having United States National Forests within their boundaries
have been receiving Forest Reserve funds for schools and roads under provisions of the
Agricultural Reapportionment Act of 1908; and
WHEREAS, in the past decade federal land use policy has shifted away from a multiple
use approach to one in which decisions are made on a centralized basis with great attention being
given to single uses; and
WHEREAS, this approach has had a devastating negative impact on funding for schools
and roads in forest counties; and
WHEREAS, the 106th Congress of the United States passed HR2389 which seeks to
maintain multiple use land management and reconnect local communities with management
decisions made about their national forests; and
WHEREAS, Congress has made provision for local projects under Titles n and III of
HR2389 whereby local Resource Advisory Committees will recommend projects which will
enhance the safety and health of forests as well as enhance activities conducted within the
National Forests within county boundaries.
NO1¥, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL VED, that Jefferson County intends to allocate the
portion of funds which it receives for projects through the safety net payment in the following
manner: Title II: 70% and Title III: 30%.
