Agendas & Minutes



Overview

The Trust Lands Advisory Committee reviewed and analyzed the history, issues, benefits, challenges, and advantages of the re-conveyance of trust lands to Clallam County and if found to be in its best interest, recommended such action as may be required to effect this change in the management of these properties. If not in the greater interest of the County to seek re-conveyance, the Committee was tasked to provide guidance to ensure a continual engagement with the Department of Natural Resources and how it is promptly and adequately fulfilling its Trust Land objectives to Clallam County, its taxing districts, and its citizenry.

The Committee addressed:

  • State Forest Board Lands (County Trust Lands): what they are, how they were obtained, where they are located, type of land, any restrictions
  • Trust land management and duties
  • Trust revenue: How it is generated, received by the County, and disbursed
  • Habitat Conservation Plan: Its relevance to State Forest Board Lands and impacts on the question of re-conveyance; etc.
  • Re-conveyance: Requirements, likelihood, obligations County would assume, additional staff requirements
  • Next steps if re-conveyance is not in the best interest of the County
