37. IGA WITH ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND REVISION OF THE COMMUNITY WILDFIRE PROTECTION PLAN Approve the IGA with Arizona State University for the development and revision of the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). The purpose of this plan is to implement a sustained pre-disaster natural hazard mitigation program to reduce overall risk to the population and structures, while also reducing reliance on funding from major disaster declaration. The IGA would be in effect from November 20, 2024, through June 31, 2025. The amount that Maricopa County Department of Emergency Management is allocating to this program is not to exceed $40,000.00 and will be paid on a quarterly basis. The department will be utilizing funds allocated within their budget to pay ASU for the services. The CWPP is a collaborative effort between local and state government representatives in consultation with federal agencies. It identifies communities within the County at moderate to high risk of wildfire and designates them as “Communities at Risk”, as well as identifying critical infrastructure at risk from wildfires. This plan will identify and prioritize areas for hazardous fuel reduction treatments and recommend types and methods of treatment that will protect the “Communities at Risk”. (C-15-25-007-X-00)
