Voter-Approved Wildfire Mitigation
Tax Powers Expansion of Services
ABOVE: Volunteers
work on a forest
wildfire mitigation
project in western
Boulder County.
T
he Boulder County Commissioners
took the next steps
to strengthen the county's
wildfire mitigation efforts
by approving 12 new staff
positions that will assist in further developing
wildfire mitigation programs and provide
direct mitigation assistance to residents. The
positions are in part funded by the sales and
use tax created by ballot measure 1A, which
voters overwhelmingly approved in 2022
and went into effect on January 1, 2023.
In order to proactively address the
increasing risk of climate-driven wildfires, the
new county staff have created a grant program
for strategic forest and grassland management
projects, and expanded the county's
innovative Wildfire Partners program, which
supports homeowners in preparing for and
protecting their homes against wildfire.

" We are grateful to voters for supporting
our ability to increase the county's wildfire
mitigation capacity, expand existing wildfire
mitigation programs, and bring new
programs and services to the plains, " said
Commissioner Marta Loachamin.
The staff positions are responsible for
outreach and education, community mitigation
planning, forestry and grassland projects,
home assessments, wood chipping,
community forestry sort yards, and grants
administration.
