When we entered into the first five-year participating agreement no funds where attached with the working partnership. In 2016 funds started being attached to the agreement through 2018. A new participating agreement was entered into in 2019 and will run through December 31, 2023. The USFS acquired $80,000 in 2019 that they attached to the working plan to cover costs for the term of the agreement. These funds will cover labor, herbicides and USFS equipment repairs. In 2021, the USFS received another $20,000 that they tied to this contract bringing the total to $100,000. The USFS has another $25,000 available that they would like to tie to our participating agreement. This will help increase the hours in which we are able to work under the five-year participating agreement. As a result of receiving these funds, we will need to complete a third modification to the working plan to lock in these funds. Otherwise, the $25,000 will not be available for our use. The non -cash labor match is work that we have already included in the budget to maintain the noxious weeds on our rights -of -way that border and pass through the Pawnee National Grassland. What options exist for the Board? (include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options): 1. Enter into a third modification of the working plan agreement. Completing the modification will allow us to ensure that the noxious weeds are addressed on Federal lands and preventing them from impacting private citizens. 2. Do not enter into this modification of the working plan agreement. Recommendation: 1. Enter into this modification of the working plan agreement. Perry L. Buck Mike Freeman, Pro -Tern Scott K.
