Agenda Item Text:
Approve a letter to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB), Real Estate and Environmental Services Division, in support of Water Mitigation Protection for Flying H Ranch.
Background:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CPB), is required to have a Biological Opinion with the US Fish and Wildlife Service (as does Fort Huachuca) in order to offset their presence, relative to water, in the area. Therefore CBP has contracted with The Trust for Public Land to find properties to purchase for conservation easements. Flying H Ranch is one of those properties. Supporting this supports the County's overall mission of environmental conservation.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Mail letter to:
Paul Enriquez, Acting Director
Real Estate and Environmental Services Division
US Customs and Border Protection
1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
