The Fire Advisory Commitee presented a grant application to clear several properties owned by the city that contain no structures and are need in of clearing in order to improve fire safety. The grant is for just under 6000 dollars, but requires matching funds from the applicant. The committee came up with a program that allows community members to adopt one of the parcels.
