Patrick Smith, treasurer and public trustee, said there have been five foreclosures so far this year; two are in bankruptcy and one recently was withdrawn. “I think I'm on 5 so far this year. And 2 are in bankruptcy, and 1 just got withdrawn,” Patrick said. He noted foreclosure notices are posted and published as part of the public process.

The nut graf: The board approved the reports and directed required administrative steps: sign the semiannual report and publish it in accordance with the statutory schedule. Staff reiterated that the semiannual treasurer’s report is required by state statute and must be published within the statutory timeframe.

Discussion during the treasurer presentation covered how funds and transactions are recorded across multiple funds, the role of treasurer’s fees (statutorily set percentages for some funds), and that certain grant funds (for courthouse work and congressionally directed spending) cannot be drawn down until architectural review and eligible construction activities are in place. Patrick and finance staff explained that some items appearing in the working fund reflect timing and transaction flows rather than final allocations.

A commissioner moved to accept the reports; the motions were seconded and recorded as approved (aye votes). The semiannual treasurer’s report will be signed and published per statute.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lake County CO 08.05.2025 BOCC Regular Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Board accepted the public trustee quarterly report and the semiannual treasurer’s report; the public trustee reported five foreclosures active this year (two in bankruptcy) and staff reviewed statutory reporting requirements for treasury reports.","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},6495295,"Board appoints three new members to Lake County tourism panel",174,2942000,3116000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5547844-be7ca0d9949f4fd2b1ca21ebf6a6c2ff&start=2942&end=3116","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5547844-be7ca0d9949f4fd2b1ca21ebf6a6c2ff/thumbnail_2942000.jpg","/articles/6495295/Lake-County/Colorado/Board-appoints-three-new-members-to-Lake-County-tourism-panel","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6495295-d34f2a993b8b4ea3e441e74c30a33371/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169843&Signature=FVsjgxKaOrObkt2zf07W4n93tuoA2hmXEcRHYPGDKY-31YsKlePuiup1AAut7lUiVtl8LgF8~WLWcGnMN~~nSrUjTcVhfnBt3MPsIS6Y~hlFBeOy9nLoFHU~MziamuYoKyZChVOFVv7SqhhNQpEcHHYYhvBkp0tkwFYzq-zLpwPEC2dmSC~uHEq38K-Ek3SbZuwxfs906XAEK4fgF1OzPPMcQDHihfUvQkrwcTaosidWHbkFq-TtSIOs9e8LtrdHgUgqZ3ejZJr7ijjd5ERTlVOr6uT83mcC-srNrpEuOor7oKam8j6KWmDpM8gDQ~Yn-h32SkpTIBPkM9hlq4zAtw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake County Board of County Commissioners voted Aug. 11, 2025, to appoint Lauren Barrett, Angela Chandler Peterson and Nelen Twist to the Lake County tourism panel.

Adam Ducharme, who presented the panel’s recommendations, said the panel had received five letters of interest and used a ranking matrix to identify gaps in representation; the board seat selections prioritized lodging representation and Twin Lakes representation. Ducharme explained the panel’s choices included two lodging representatives and a candidate with community‑benefit and community‑center engagement experience.

The nut graf: The appointments replace panel members who have left the county or stepped down and aim to broaden lodging and Twin Lakes representation on the tourism panel; one additional seat will open in January when an incumbent rolls off.

Ducharme noted that Misty Curtin requested to step down as she expands other commitments, and that two prior members had left the county. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the three appointments; the vote was recorded as three ayes. Ducharme said another seat will be addressed in January when a current member’s term expires.

The tourism panel now adds the three approved members and will continue to refine membership as future vacancies occur.","The Board of County Commissioners approved appointments of Lauren Barrett, Angela Chandler Peterson and Nelen Twist to the Lake County tourism panel; seats fill recent departures and leave one vacancy to be filled in January.",{"_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},6495300,"County approves feasibility amendment to study potential airport-area industrial park",1474,1463000,2937000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5547844-be7ca0d9949f4fd2b1ca21ebf6a6c2ff&start=1463&end=2937","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5547844-be7ca0d9949f4fd2b1ca21ebf6a6c2ff/thumbnail_1463000.jpg","/articles/6495300/Lake-County/Colorado/County-approves-feasibility-amendment-to-study-potential-airport-area-industrial-park","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6495300-9d44586bde9f99a24a1e0b632b155bd3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169843&Signature=fcUukypuZg1yhCgODV3ojBojHP-yDyMy6pc1MPNAd-5W-eUVwZdZPyg4yzWeklRXaEpUhzNrluU6gQntaJJmRQPTpWunN0VLKT9HIN9JKqa6RX17fFxGkPHep9yWs7TmlUNDYZ~Ph1YT1Xo4CGkgdRDUuUla~3cWOsmUZhIqs2UQ3RUVovx1KefOqgrWOF-g8lLhR1ZyWHZqn1qch-HZShp3UdTWDnrmXl7dUnZHThSYhUtaWI8oZO-Q6HkQTCm3gthPXJHEoZOpsdyADfWo4qBqxdPpH8OLVryPlYjDlIv0SkqafUMZ8cQDm0xCDDn-KPxSOhBm4wICvjd-~tfx5A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake County Board of County Commissioners voted Aug. 11, 2025, to amend a professional services agreement with Mead & Hunt to add a feasibility study for a proposed industrial park adjacent to the Leadville airport.

Tourism and economic development director Adam Ducharme told the board staff and consultants would “engage with Johnson Economics to be able to really understand, where the market is,” and described the work as a first-phase feasibility or “prelude” before a master development plan. Ducharme said the county intends to confirm market demand and the costs of bringing sewer, water and three‑phase power to the site before committing to full master planning.

The nut graf: The feasibility study will help the county decide whether to move forward with master planning and infrastructure work on the roughly 100‑acre triangular site south of the archery range and adjacent to the airport; staff described it as a needed step because prior analyses focused on different parcels and because construction and utility costs have changed since the last comprehensive study.

Ducharme said the study will consider “through‑the‑fence” development issues — whether certain parcels inside the FAA boundary could be designated for off‑airport development — and cited the city of Hayden as a local comparable. Candice (Community Planning and Development staff) told the board the project’s changed study area alters utility and sewer cost assumptions and that updated information is required because the last study was dated.

Commissioners asked questions about recreation uses and land entitlements near the study area; Ducharme and staff said they had discussed the site with local recreation groups and Leadville Sanitation District and that parcel entitlements and older rezoning requests in the area will be evaluated as part of the work. The feasibility scope was presented as budgeted at $41,000 and within the economic development budget; the board approved the amendment, with an affirmative tally of three ayes.

Staff said the feasibility study will report back to the board with recommendations that could lead to incorporation of the site into long‑range economic development planning or a decision to stop pursuing the site if the market or costs do not support it.","The board authorized an amendment to the professional services agreement with Mead & Hunt to add a feasibility study (Johnson Economics partnership) assessing market demand, utilities and FAA issues for a proposed airport-adjacent industrial park.",{"_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},6495305,"Lake County approves notice to proceed for Housing at 102 project after lottery yields local buyers",230,1191000,1421000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5547844-be7ca0d9949f4fd2b1ca21ebf6a6c2ff&start=1191&end=1421","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5547844-be7ca0d9949f4fd2b1ca21ebf6a6c2ff/thumbnail_1191000.jpg","/articles/6495305/Lake-County/Colorado/Lake-County-approves-notice-to-proceed-for-Housing-at-102-project-after-lottery-yields-local-buyers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6495305-a5f0885f7ed97c9be631bedf68071651/orig.mp4?Expires=1771169843&Signature=ZEKPXqUyg8QJw0sglVe45Mer5no933jY-w6tM8Ld0tC~K21ukf9prAWK4M5dlUWVf9sDeFPaRa2CvosaUWvLLdRcbxilFg23o4KIN-raLxOdQPXZQz11GrXDSdu5JG2XXpC0ENf2j9slgl1CUdlEp8mkJhlGnu8xT1Du15xWrEXeAqNHbmF54xbvy7BLoL2NLNxX0ac6DJ3gadCsrEijcx-fMpNKnj5v1Nl3QLYEe3A2b9N3ubW~zaPfiZHFEsuKNFihT-95cfV7Btfd9xtx8R3UK1L8FjalUvw5m21WdkidpZcfRhDi~0dyOZ-JOtufK3cNTOtntAD0khQOIjWjUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake County Board of County Commissioners approved the notice to proceed for the Housing at 102 project without adjustment on Aug. 11, 2025, after staff reported local buyer interest and developer commitment.

Housing program manager Jackie Wellahan told the board the project’s two lotteries produced a total of 23 qualified buyers. “We had 10 buyers moving forward [from the phase 1 lottery]…and the second lottery…we had 11 buyers moving forward,” Wellahan said. She added that two county employees subsequently applied, bringing the total to 23 and leaving one larger two-bedroom, two-bath unit still available.

The nut graf: The vote allows the developer and county to proceed with executing the contracts and ordering the 24 homes that staff and the developer say the market can absorb, preserving the county’s reservation of a public meeting to consider any future modification of the notice to proceed as required by the construction agreement.

County staff described the agreement as a combined notice to proceed and construction agreement with Oakwood; staff said the document reserves a public meeting if either party seeks to modify the notice to proceed. Amy (project representative) expressed the developer’s continued commitment: “We’re really pleased with the results of the buyers and the work Jackie and the realtor and team have put in thus far,” she said.

Board discussion was brief. A commissioner made a motion to approve “the notice to proceed without adjustment,” the motion was seconded and the board voted to approve with an affirmative tally recorded as three ayes.

The board did not instruct staff to scale back or alter the project at the meeting; commissioners instead approved moving forward as proposed. Staff said execution of individual buyer contracts will continue in the coming days.

The decision advances a project intended to add 24 homes; staff and the developer said they are confident the remaining unit can be sold to a local buyer. The board requested no additional conditions at the meeting and asked staff to provide updates at future meetings.","The Lake County Board of County Commissioners voted to approve the notice to proceed for the Housing at 102 project without adjustments after staff reported 23 qualified buyers from local addresses and continued developer commitment.","actionData","errors"]
