A form for tracking landowner’s matching hours for
cost share grants, is attached. It is not required for Firewise community
hours, but may be convenient for you to use it. Firewise
usually only asks for the total number of hours and does not require that you
submit documentation. The Firewise Community Committee Chair requests all WWV persons keep a record of time and resources spent on any fire mitigation actions taken on their properties. This information includes who performed what tasks, how much time spent on the tasks (i.e., cleaning
gutters, removal of ladder fuels, removing slash, chainsawing, etc.), equipment
expenditures (i.e. purchase of chainsaws, sharpening of saws etc.). This
information can be used for your personal state income taxes (see email
regarding Wildfire Mitigation Tax subtraction) as well as for the pursuit of Firewise grant monies for our HOA. If
you are interested in being a part of the FireWise committee or wish to discuss
the keeping of records further, please contact Jim Painter at j.s.painter@centurylink.net |
