UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES THAT. A. As funding and resources are available and authorized (as determined in each Party’s sole discretion), the Parties will provide technical, human and financial support to achieve the vision and outcomes of this MOU, including, but not limited to: 1. Support and work with existing and future forest-focused collaborative organizations to outreach and engage stakeholders to increase understanding and together refine the vision and outcomes detailed herein. 2. Expeditiously create a Boulder County map of forested lands that will be a basis for Parties to do outreach, priority setting and decision making. Consider on-going data management and governance needs, costs, and seek to maximize public facing information. 3. Establish and support a multi-disciplinary Science Team of the Parties and other representatives with varying perspectives that identifies priority areas (regardless of boundaries) in need of active forest management. The Science Team should consider creating a cross boundary treatment prescriptions "playbook" for ease of planning, approvals and grant seeking. The Science Team is to develop protocols and methods to support monitoring and adaptive management of on-the-ground cross- boundary forest management actions. 4. Establish and support a Communications and Education Team of the Parties and others to use the information developed by the Science Team and otherwise support the work of the collaborative organizations and ensure consistent messaging to the public and media by the Parties. Public education focused on proper and improper forest uses related to wildfire prevention and stewardship should also be a focus of the Communications and Education Team. 5. Through the Collaboratives, the Parties and others will together initiate stakeholder outreach, planning, and fundraising on a cross boundary landscape scale forest health and/or community protection project that meets the objectives of this agreement with implementation to commence in 2021/22. 6. The Parties will build, continually improve and host a map of Potential Operational Delineations (PODs) that spans the entire county. A PODs map identifies the safest and most effective control lines used to contain wildfire and can assist in integrating land management objectives and incident response while improving outreach to and education of the public. 7. The Parties will seek to increase the capacity of county fire districts so that they can play a greater role in outreach and engagement with stakeholders and in the implementation of small and large scale projects that include private land and defensible space/home improvements. 8. An Executive Committee of the Parties will meet no less than twice a year to gauge progress under this MOU. Goals, measures and timelines should be provided to the Executive Committee by each of the Science, Communications/Education and project teams once they have been established. The Executive Committee will also oversee progress on creating and maintaining a map of the county’s forested lands and PODs. B. Consider entering into separate agreements, as resources allow, to accomplish agreed upon projects to help achieve the vision and outcomes in this MOU. C. Review, revise, update and re-adopt this MOU every five years after its initial adoption. If all the current Parties to the MOU concur, new signatories may become a Party to the MOU at any time. D. PRINCIPAL CONTACTS – Individuals listed below are authorized to act in their respective areas for matters related to this agreement.
