SUBJECT:
Resolution — Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) Phase Two
This Resolution provides for a contract award for the 2023 Community Wildfire Protection Plan
Mitigation Phase Two Project, which seeks to address significant beetle kill trees within the
Cemetery Creek drainage area. The project was well viewed, with three bids received. Doug
Koch Professional Tree Services, a local contractor currently contracted for the Phase One work,
was the successful bidder at a total proposed cost of $177,700.
The Maps below highlight the areas to be addressed. The terrain varies with some areas requiring
hand felling due to lack of accessibility for larger equipment. The slash site recently established
adjacent to the soccer fields will be a staging area for the project.
Fire Chief Prior successfully applied for and received grant funding from the Department of
Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Fire Protection to sufficiently cover the costs
associated with this Work. This project will be a large step in mitigating approximately 84.75 acres
of additional City property. Council's support is respectfully requested.
