The Huerfano County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) held a meeting on September 30, 2025, focusing on several key topics, including budget discussions, project updates, and a planned executive session.
During the meeting, officials noted that it is currently budget season, which has resulted in fewer meetings. The closing of bids for a broker request for proposals (RFP) was highlighted, with bids wrapping up the following day. Additionally, a comment period regarding housing-related changes is set to close soon, with a planning commission hearing scheduled for October 9 at 1:30 PM.
The commissioners discussed ongoing projects, particularly with Tower Technologies, which is awaiting a final implementation schedule. There are considerations to potentially delay a project involving Sea Lion Aeronautics, dependent on their financial contributions.
The meeting also touched on legislative priorities related to a 34-acre exemption, with discussions held with various stakeholders, including the Homeowner Association. A full public engagement session is anticipated in the coming months to address safety concerns.
In staffing updates, an offer has been made for a new billing system position, which is expected to be presented to the board soon. The commissioners are also advancing a commercial card program, with formal approval anticipated in the next few weeks.
The county attorney had no updates for the meeting but requested an executive session to discuss policy changes. The board voted to enter this session to receive legal advice on personnel and administrative policies, with no decisions to be made during the executive session.
The meeting concluded with the board recessing to reconvene at 1 PM for the executive session, emphasizing the ongoing efforts to address county governance and operational matters.
