The Nevada County Board of Supervisors will discuss signing an agreement with the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management regarding how to cooperate in managing the large amount of public land in Nevada County.
In the staff report, signed by Chairman Ted Owens and Supervisor Nate Beason, the officials state that the agreement will give the county “more equal footing with the federal government” in making decisions and receiving information regarding projects that may affect county decisions.
“The (memorandum of agreement) provides earlier notification and communication from the federal land managers to the county than currently afforded in federal statutes,” the report states.
