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

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

and roads in forest counties; and
WHEREAS, Congress 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 II 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of Commissioners, that Jefferson
County intends to allocate the portion of funds received for projects through the safety net
payment in the following manner: Title II: 70% and Title III: 30%.
