County ERCD, Planning, Tax Assessor and Budget staffs have <br />subsequently met with representatives from the Forest Service on several occasions to discuss <br />the memorandum of understanding and work towards mutual agreement of items that can be <br />addressed by each party, These meetings will continue and staff hopes in the near future to <br />bring back aframework/proposal to the BOCC which can prove workable for both the County <br />and the Forest Service. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The State supports 60 percent of the total Forest Service budget of <br />$153,711.
