Harrelson asked county staff and commissioners to support a change to the county’s intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the school district so that city, county and the school district can form a new agreement that directs tax dollars for the pool to the school district and allows PB Swims to operate the facility.

\"We're moving ahead with our capital campaign to renovate our existing swimming pool and aquatic center,\" Harrelson said. She described ongoing coordination with city staff, the school district and the college and said PB Swims is seeking letters of support and grant funding. Harrelson estimated a reopening cost around $3,000,000 and said a joint work session between the city and county is scheduled in June to review a feasibility study.

County staff responded in the meeting that a joint work session is planned to review the feasibility study and that staff will follow up with Harrelson on IGA details. Harrelson said PB Swims is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is pursuing grants and community support in the absence of full institutional backing from the county or school district.

Ending: County staff said they will follow up with PB Swims and the city to coordinate the June work session and to determine what IGA changes would be required to allow a third-party operator to run the aquatic center.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lake County CO 04.15.2025 BOCC Regular Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","A Pb Swims representative told the Lake County commissioners the community has raised roughly $72,600 toward an aquatic center capital campaign and called on the county to terminate its existing IGA with the school district so the city and school district can craft a separate IGA to allow PB Swims to operate the center.","taxTitle","Lake County, Colorado","taxId",27576,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6600681,"County advances airport development: Mead & Hunt amendment approved and hangar RFP released",2400,6120000,8520000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3025743-fe52431261205588bc95cb198eac763c&start=6120&end=8520","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3025743-fe52431261205588bc95cb198eac763c/thumbnail_6120000.jpg","/articles/6600681/Lake-County/Colorado/County-advances-airport-development-Mead-Hunt-amendment-approved-and-hangar-RFP-released","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6600681-021a0122b42e619294d9530fa1119dbe/orig.mp4?Expires=1770945134&Signature=WqXqn36UDRhmaD-jWBJeE~eKkAgvO9cvveYrb5lRF5Vp8IS1DuRpQkVQh7Ti7Eur3yDENqyWiXOUGjsTZmUTXOmpK9pFY5CPMzHddIkvbfFmtkFtYXHyGgOHQylml1w9Z1ew2s-tXT4EGiZPc3ftFkMEpi22xJGyQXbwjtbwXU98wwp-UFXLej60XRHTjr4xrYq7wXraiqIKD6sQWtO7HvI~Ze-ctq6UC-9MbzqMkUNsaeKDdfabxqu~Hvf-N~xHSKg0MWVDeTzorttOV9qeKCS4HtpXoUzy4TxYILY88CH1gQQJTuFSQl8S~YtU30wxMK33cMX4koKEN~3uM1M~8g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","County officials said they are taking incremental steps to prepare an airport-area industrial park and to expand hangar capacity at the Leadville–Lake County Airport. Commissioners approved an amendment to the existing professional services agreement with Mead & Hunt for Phase 3 off-airport planning support and authorized release of a ground-lease hangar RFP.

Adam Ducharme, tourism and economic development director, told the board Mead & Hunt will supply market benchmarking against comparable communities and produce two conceptual layouts showing parcel sizing informed by market research — information the county said will make subsequent engineering and entitlement work more cost-effective. The approved amendment fee is $19,506.

Josh Adamson, airport director, described the hangar RFP as a ground-lease program that gives proposers flexibility on hangar size. The draft RFP provides an initial 30-year ground lease with a possible 10-year extension and leaves price negotiation flexible to reflect proximity to services. Adamson said the county will retain ownership of the land and that improvements will revert to the county at lease termination, requiring proposers to maintain their buildings during the lease.

The board voted unanimously to approve both actions. Commissioners said they want to avoid over-committing funds in the entitlement phase and welcomed Mead & Hunt’s market-based approach.

Ending: County staff will publish the hangar RFP, conduct pre-bid meetings and accept proposals; Mead & Hunt deliverables will be used to refine future engineering and entitlement RFPs.","The Board of County Commissioners approved a $19,506 amendment to Mead & Hunt for off-airport industrial-park planning and authorized a request for proposals for ground-lease hangar development at the Leadville–Lake County Airport.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6600686,"Lake County accepts DHS-funded Starlink terminal and 12 months of roaming service for incident communications",770,3940000,4710000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3025743-fe52431261205588bc95cb198eac763c&start=3940&end=4710","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3025743-fe52431261205588bc95cb198eac763c/thumbnail_3940000.jpg","/articles/6600686/Lake-County/Colorado/Lake-County-accepts-DHS-funded-Starlink-terminal-and-12-months-of-roaming-service-for-incident-communications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6600686-4df1fd8cdd7e4140800d45013f39b8df/orig.mp4?Expires=1770945134&Signature=c4~JEqaRbLRU-alVenooJgHxzEZLQhIxaHnkEgSIL0MAYDYl4jnnVoDFDNwD7VCiE4b0UNMZZmUMT4nkmq2yb1Kr1rw6SMskjoZaqCwXhXx1Y8JGXWOHJYRpJMFV45AEpssyh0oRpahzbEJeYLnaNIqD1BoHUmjQspPoHsYHbfbBfSUewic-4-swUu5Ypwti3QRL4-84lCHNFTTJ2trJm6TMQUqfa4DEZ~8QcuO7NgsmGmDKEGMPae6fqE~QvhoFc-apeCa3I~QPvpHavDp8mYxqEVnNtyevpilJ6g9lX81HP4ZXO0KOPTHutYbWJM3A8pbK-Nh5b9VFbF4o5ekcmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake County Board of County Commissioners unanimously accepted a Department of Homeland Security grant that will provide a Starlink satellite terminal and up to 12 months of Starlink roaming service to support emergency communications, Claire Hathaway, director of the Office of Emergency Management, told commissioners.

Hathaway described the grant as a federal pass-through that is managed by the South Central All-Hazards Region; the City of Colorado Springs serves as the regional fiscal agent and handles procurement. \"This grant's a little bit of an interesting one,\" Hathaway said, noting that the regional communications working group requested the equipment because some tactical cameras and devices fail when local cell service is unavailable. She told the board the project supplies each county in the region with a Starlink terminal and up to 12 months of roaming service, usable month-by-month and chargeable only for months activated.

Hathaway said the region received the hardware in March and that the county will need to test the Starlink terminal for compatibility with the county dispatch and firewall configuration. \"Now I really wanna manage that…making sure that it's compatible with our different areas,\" Hathaway said, describing prior incidents where temporary internet needs during events required external solutions. She added that the grant will reimburse up to 12 months of service through the grant closeout in May 2027 and that any service months activated are charged by calendar month.

Commissioners approved acceptance of the grant on a unanimous voice vote. Following the vote, commissioners directed OEM and IT staff to perform setup and testing with airport and dispatch staff, verify firewall and interoperability with local systems, and submit a short test report back to the board with recommended activation procedures and an estimate of ongoing costs after the grant period.

County staff said the long-term monthly roaming cost is expected to be small (Hathaway said it was approximately $1.65 per month in staff discussion), and that any ongoing cost would likely be budgeted in OEM for 2026 and beyond. Hathaway noted the service can be turned on and off by the county on a monthly basis and that experimentation/testing months will count against the 12-month grant allocation, so the county will schedule tests to limit consumption.

Commissioners asked for a follow-up test report documenting time to activate, typical network performance and any firewall or dispatch compatibility issues before routine operational use.

Ending: OEM will coordinate a Starlink setup and test with IT, airport staff and the City of Colorado Springs procurement staff and report back to the board by the end of May.","County emergency management presented a DHS-funded regional grant that supplies one Starlink terminal and up to 12 months of unlimited roaming service; commissioners approved acceptance and directed staff to test setup and coordinate procurement with the City of Colorado Springs.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6600691,"Votes at a glance: Lake County commissioners adopt emergency-meeting rule, accept Starlink grant and approve multiple MOUs and RFPs",380,3600000,3980000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3025743-fe52431261205588bc95cb198eac763c&start=3600&end=3980","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3025743-fe52431261205588bc95cb198eac763c/thumbnail_3600000.jpg","/articles/6600691/Lake-County/Colorado/Votes-at-a-glance-Lake-County-commissioners-adopt-emergency-meeting-rule-accept-Starlink-grant-and-approve-multiple-MOUs-and-RFPs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6600691-b74b29911181ae005de63ec27b93fb9e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770945134&Signature=QRsDldQypZcdkNI15HRFXzH5g-X4sbjDolvZNuX14I3sNnsduB6fF0TflXJLbG9CSVroUXMqcCj8luGFajC7Go~kxxh8a6M1N6RinQceK0tf-QKlC36diflPBS7OpM577Xtbt6G1StMpD7mVRwpXf4qwIx8kIl3pKCcpXaFbNtqPzkaqBjoqHnkkZyBMj8FeXRQF7qlX3orcW1ToshhqGV~3DhRXNDK7KC2ldb4S0YHtiTXGrqqf5Rbri7CzDzK7RlmRs7cXUpQWHWxzyH-8gwWThireFQrhq~itEoc~u2GLZ0q4FLIjpLmzd2jUmU1oXUMTFxP4aDtU1LEBpF7RLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lake County commissioners on April (date not specified) approved a package of actions including a resolution to allow emergency meetings with shortened public-notice procedures, formal acceptance of a Department of Homeland Security grant to supply a Starlink satellite terminal and up to 12 months of roaming service, and multiple memoranda of understanding and requests for proposals that the board said will advance county projects from the airport to the courthouse renovation.

The board adopted Resolution 2025-14 to allow the board to convene in a legally compliant emergency meeting when \"necessary to preserve health, welfare and safety,\" a staff presentation said. The measure passed on a unanimous voice vote recorded in the minutes.

Other formal actions approved by the board during the meeting included: acceptance of the DHS grant to furnish a Starlink terminal and up to 12 months of roaming service for incident use; approval of an amendment to the professional services agreement with Mead & Hunt for off-airport planning support; authorization to publish a request for proposals for hangar development at the Leadville-Lake County Airport; approval to issue an RFP for an architect of record for the courthouse renovation; approval of an RFP for a replacement computer-assisted mass appraisal system for the assessor; adoption of an alternate protest and appeal procedure for the 2025 reassessment year; approval of an agreement with Master's Touch LLC to mail notices of valuation; approval of an intergovernmental MOU that phases county support for Full Circle’s vans; approval of a memorandum allocating 5% of the tourism panel's net revenue to the county early care and education fund; and purchase of a small set of Airtable licenses for county process work.

Most votes were recorded as unanimous by voice (three \"ayes\" recorded in the meeting). Where the record shows a mover and a second, the minutes show the motion, a second, and the board voting in favor.

The board also approved an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Leadville to fund and operate the Leadville-Lake County animal shelter after late-stage clarifications on budget language; commissioners asked for explicit language limiting the county’s 2025 contribution to the county’s adopted amount and for a process to address supplemental budget requests.
