***Please Note***
The City Administrator has suspended all non-essential regular City Committee/Commission meetings beginning March 12, 2020, as a precautionary and preventive measure for COVID-19. Non-essential meetings are defined as anything not having a state or federal timeline for funding. As a result, the Wildfire Safety Commission will not be meeting until further notice. The goal is to keep City employees healthy so that they can continue providing essential functions to our citizens. Staff is currently working on the technical details of facilitating electronic meetings for the City Council and Planning Commission and that is the priority. Once that is worked out staff will turn efforts to helping facilitate regular Commission and Committee meetings. |
Section 2.26.010 Purpose
The Ashland Wildfire Mitigation Commission shall provide advice and support to the Council and City departments and education to the community on wildfire issues and plans for mitigation action. Specifically, the Commission will function as the entity to foster the efforts of the city of Ashland to adopt and achieve the goals set forth in the Fire Adapted Communities program.
(Ord 3044, added, 01/18/2011; amended Ord 3095, 2014)
