Winder said, referencing national political developments, that \"Colorado has until September 21 to comply with president Trump's executive order regarding federal requirements to secure elections,\" and argued the county should move toward \"in person voting on election day with a valid ID, paper ballots, transparency in vote counting and tabulation, harsh penalties for fraud, manipulation, and interference.\" She said, \"If you can vote but cannot verify how your vote is counted, you do not live in a republic.\"

Winder made a series of broad claims about alleged manipulation of vote totals, audits being blocked, and whistleblowers being silenced. The remarks were delivered during the public comment portion of the board meeting; no board-directed action or formal response to the request was recorded in the meeting minutes.

Candace Miller, planning and zoning coordinator, presented the JJ Scott Minor Subdivision (S‑2504). She said a 32.35‑acre parcel would be divided into four lots (three approximately five‑acre lots and one about 19.35 acres). Lots 1 through 3 will have access on County Road 7; lot 1 contains an existing residence with a well and the two other five‑acre parcels have city water available in front of the lots. Miller said the Division of Water Resources (DWR) noted that because the parcel is being subdivided after Feb. 2022 an augmentation plan will be required for existing wells; she said the landowner had been given that information.

Miller told the board an existing access easement for an adjacent parcel was not reflected on the submitted plat and that the surveyor must show the easement on the revised plat. She said the planning board recommended the sketch preliminary 3–1 conditioned on the easement being reflected; commissioners voted to accept the sketch prelim and to have the corrected plat returned for final approval in October.

Miller then presented the Powell Minor Subdivision (S‑2506). Owner Jerry Powell proposed dividing a 268.52‑acre parcel into two lots of about 17.192 acres and 11.647 acres; the remaining approximately 250.72 acres remains exempt because it exceeds 35 acres. Miller said the parcels have existing access from Highway 13 and the owner indicated no plan to drill a new well and would haul water; DWR was notified and the planning board recommended approval 3–1. Commissioners voted to approve the sketch preliminary as presented.

No members of the public testified at either hearing. Both items will return to the board for final action; the JJ Scott plat needs a corrected easement depiction before final approval.","At sketch preliminary hearings the board accepted the JJ Scott and Powell minor subdivision applications.

Public works staff said the county issued a request for proposals and held a pre-bid meeting on Aug. 14; one contractor attended and Taylor Fence submitted a bid at the public opening. Staff reported the county budget contains approximately $180,000 set aside for the project.

A commissioner moved to award the bid to Taylor Fence in the amount of $83,008.46; the motion was seconded and carried by unanimous voice vote. During discussion one commissioner said the new gates \"look very nice\" and would increase security at the facility.

Staff indicated the quoted amount may change if the scope is altered during construction; the county will proceed with awarding the contract and scheduling installation.","After a single bid opening, the board awarded a contract to Taylor Fence for installation of electronic gates at the Moffat County Public Safety Center for $83,008.46; the project remains within an existing $180,000 set-aside.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6474985,"Moffat County approves shared school resource deputy funded 75% by county, 25% by district",420,2053000,2473000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5737714-6f8b8812686091ea3a9320fb352d17c0&start=2053&end=2473","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5737714-6f8b8812686091ea3a9320fb352d17c0/thumbnail_2053000.jpg","/articles/6474985/Moffat-County/Colorado/Moffat-County-approves-shared-school-resource-deputy-funded-75-by-county-25-by-district","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6474985-9f9848c55ba464bb53917eb91044d339/orig.mp4?Expires=1773581546&Signature=bQsmG6Z~l-a5p9H3FNRJhJf8hKGBhGMjnWk0pBWfreygzcJOWbMg~7HYaIzG-2kjBQjqsftwV6nliqAzxt077alzx0Z4-8L4gDbJlRz32NNvv2SjGILSn7kEe9o2JkaYMwKKMkWc2PlLdesAynjqvOeLW2U89KdEELj~xw1VDToUSJgnOVAGTVx3PswlBgRAw6RI8JVjuqTyYaG7drUDhA~Kv4Gt5W69Z7JwDupGZS7~-kgUtZvlX2OpHt2ENuBNzlPJIFHyvCDgidaiq5mVCTg56ceDCleMLybjJX0ITdX06iYlI~zjJwYqAfZYIOgm3WBhyeaIPBq6~zpayuxpFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Moffat County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 9 approved creation of a new full-time school resource deputy position to be housed in the Moffat County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff Chip McIntyre and Undersheriff Buesinger told commissioners the position would be paid at the patrol deputy rate, with the school district covering 25% of salary and fringe and the county covering 75%. McIntyre said the step‑6 patrol deputy salary is $64,625.60 and, with retirement and benefits, the annual cost is $104,080.65. He said the school district’s share would be about $26,020.16 and the county’s obligation about $78,060.49, based on finance department calculations.

The sheriff said the city had asked the county to partially fund one of the city’s school resource officers; he recommended a deputy housed in the sheriff’s office instead so the county could deploy the position in the summer and on patrol outside the school year. McIntyre said the deputy’s primary focus would be Craig High School and the middle school but that the deputy would also visit elementary schools.

During discussion, commissioners asked whether grant funding was available. McIntyre replied that grants exist but typically require an existing position before application.

A commissioner moved and a second followed; the board voted in favor. The motion passed with all commissioners voting aye.

The sheriff’s office will advertise the position and screen applicants; the undersheriff said a job description has been provided to human resources. McIntyre said training requests such as DARE certification could be covered by the school district if the district requests it.","The Moffat County Board of Commissioners approved creation of a full-time school resource deputy position that the county will fund at 75% and the school district at 25%; county cost estimated at about $78,060.49 annually including benefits.","actionData","errors"]
