La Paz County Board Continues Sheriff Contracts and Approves Cadillac Cowboy Liquor License

In a pivotal meeting on August 18, 2025, the La Paz County Board of Supervisors made significant strides in local governance, particularly regarding the continuation of key items and the approval of a new liquor license for a local restaurant.

The board unanimously voted to postpone discussions on two important contracts related to the sheriff's department until their next meeting on September 2, 2025. Supervisor Megan emphasized the need for further negotiation and cleanup of the documents before they could be reviewed, ensuring that all details are finalized for the board's consideration.

In a notable public hearing, the board approved a liquor license application for the Cadillac Cowboy, a new restaurant located at 8010 Riverside Drive in Parker. The application, submitted by Lauren K. Merritt, received no objections from local departments or the public, leading to a smooth approval process. Supervisor Plunkett humorously noted that he couldn't recall any past objections to such applications, highlighting the community's support for local businesses.

Additionally, the board discussed the La Paz County Comprehensive Plan 2035, which was recently recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The plan aims to guide the county's development and growth, with input gathered from the public through a dedicated website. The board expressed appreciation for the collaborative efforts with the Matrix Design Group, who are assisting in the planning process.

As the meeting concluded, the board's decisions underscored a commitment to thorough governance and community engagement, setting the stage for future developments in La Paz County. The anticipated outcomes from the continued discussions and the approved liquor license are expected to foster local business growth and enhance community planning efforts.
