| Reduce Hazardous Vegetation on County-Maintained Roads and County Owned PropertyInformation and General Services |
Description |
Public Works and Facilities are responsible for managing hazardous vegetation treatment along county-maintained roadways and properties. These departments are developing vegetation treatment plans, pursuing grants, and are implementing strategies across departments to achieve greater fuels reduction on County properties to serve as examples of land stewardship and to keep members of the public and properties safe.
Progress Update | |
Updates from July - September 2022:
This quarter County Public Works completed 6 miles of brushing and 0 miles of spraying with 6 miles of mowing. These reduced numbers were due to Public Works Staff working on new vegetation removal contracts as well as time spent reviewing work from the last quarter. The quarterly target is 63 miles of vegetation treatment along county roads. Roads crews are judicious with vegetation removal during the summer months due to the fire threat.
Next Steps | |
Plans for next quarter;
County roads will continue to seek funding and use existing funding to reduce roadside vegetation to continue making evacuation routes safer during this year’s fire season. Crews will also increase roadside vegetation reduction as the fire threat wanes.
