Board OKs sheriff's request to submit CPW Back Country Search and Rescue grant

The Rio Grande County Board of Commissioners authorized the Sheriff's Office to submit a Colorado Parks and Wildlife Back Country Search and Rescue (CPW BSAR) grant application. Sheriff Anne Robinson said the office currently relies on an agreement with South Fork Fire District for equipment but is seeking grant funds to obtain its own kit; she noted potential reimbursement obligations for equipment use under the current agreement. Commissioner Gene Glover moved to approve the submission; Commissioner Scott Deacon seconded and the motion carried.
