During a recent government meeting, the board officially recognized the retirement of Chuck Haskins, following a brief procedural hiccup. Commissioner Campbell initiated the resolution for Haskins' retirement, which was seconded by Commissioner Baker and unanimously approved by the board.
The meeting also addressed a significant matter regarding the Lakeview Park cell tower application. Senior Assistant County Attorney Robert Hill presented the final decision on the appeal of case number CMRS 21-001. Following a public hearing held on June 11, 2024, the board had directed the attorney's office to draft a resolution. Commissioner Campbell moved to adopt the resolution, which reversed the conditional approval of the cell tower application, effectively denying it. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Sumi and passed without opposition.
In closing remarks, Commissioner Sunny reminded attendees that it was election day in Arapahoe County, urging residents to submit their ballots by 7 PM. He noted that voter turnout was low, with only about 15% of ballots returned so far. The meeting concluded without further business.
