See page 12 for the 3 interim adopted resolutions pertaining to PUBLIC LANDS:
- INTERIM RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LONG-TERM FEDERAL FUNDING FOR SHARED STEWARDSHIP TO COLLABORATIVELY MANAGE UNWANTED WILDFIRE
- INTERIM RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE RECONCILIATION IN PLACE NAMES ACT AND SECRETARIAL ORDERS 3404 AND 3405
- INTERIM RESOLUTION SUPPORTING WILDFIRE MITIGATION EFFORTS ON U.S. FOREST SERVICE LAND UNDER THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT - This is the only resolution that failed - which demands immediate wildfire suppression.

Contact your county commissioners if you are concerned about the passing of this resolution.
