That budget 10 years ago funded a full-time law enforcement officer,two full-time recreation field supervisors, four seasonal staff members and supplies and vehicles for those employees. In 2018, that budget has dropped to roughly$40,000, which pays for one seasonal employee, supplies and a vehicle. In that decade, recreational use has only increased, putting a lot of pressure on the district office. This agreement between Eagle County and the Forest Service will allow hiring seasonal employee(s)to provide natural resource management and forest protection of the National Forest System to include but not limited to campsite monitoring, visitor contacts, and fire prevention messaging on the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District of the White River National Forest. Mr. Shroll spoke about the understaffing. This agreement provided additional services by hiring 4-5 seasonal employees from April through October. Every municipality in the valley had signed on as a financial partner. Chairman Chandler-Henry spoke about the need for management in the White River National Forest. There was some concern that this should be a Federal budget item, and the point had been made to the legislative bodies. The county would continue to push that point. However, this was important enough to the county to put up the money to keep campgrounds open. Commissioner McQueeney added her thanks. She believed this was a reasonable request. 3 12/18/2018 Commissioner McQueeney moved to approve the agreement between Eagle County and the USDA, Forest Service for the Front County Ranger Program.
