This agreement required the City to develop <br />the Lake Chaplain Tract Wildlife Habitat Management Plan (LCT-WHMP). This plan was <br />modified in 2015 by the Safe/Harbor Cooperative Habitat Enhancement Agreement <br />(SHA-CHEA) with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and Washington State <br />Department of Natural Resources. <br />The LCT-WHMP and SHA-CHEA manage timber harvest and forestry activities to <br />maintain and enhance habitat for wildlife. Commercial thinning creates understory <br />diversity, benefitting many species. <br />This resolution, which authorized the surplus of timber and call for bids on the Russula <br />Commercial Thin Timber Sale, will continue to accomplish the habitat objectives <br />approved in the LCT-WHMP and SHA-CHEA, as well as provide revenue to the City. <br />Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): <br />Adopt Resolution authorizing the surplus of timber and call for bids on the Russula <br />Commercial Thin Timber Sale. <br />
