Agency One

Agency One said the revised scoring gives more weight to counties with recent burn history, and said the change responds to 412 public comments filed during the review period.

Sample County Association

The Sample County Association said the new scoring moves money toward counties that already have mitigation staff, and asked Agency One to delay the start date by one year.

Placeholder Fire Districts Coalition

The Coalition said it supports the burn history weighting and said the January 1 start date gives districts enough time to file under the new form.

    We misread the docket total. The docket lists 412 comments. We corrected the figure and the sentence in Agency One's position that repeated it.
