Commission approves series of administrative items: equipment disposals, contracts, dispatch renewal and deputy warden hiring

Colfax County commissioners approved multiple administrative items during a routine segment of the meeting.

The board approved Resolution 2025‑73 authorizing disposal of obsolete county laptop computers used as mobile data terminals; the item was proposed by the sheriff and carried on roll call. Commissioners then approved a professional services agreement with Molson and Corbin for on‑call engineering services for airport work; the presenter said the contract was required by FAA grant rules. The commission also renewed a dispatch agreement with the city of Raton on the existing terms and adopted a Colfax County public agenda request form for staff and residents.

On personnel, the commission authorized advertisement to hire a deputy warden for the Detention Center after the deputy resigned. The sheriff’s representative asked that the job posting include a salary range, and the commission requested the range be submitted to the county manager so the advertised high end does not exceed budgeted amounts. "I do think that that's important that we do advertise on a range and also that on the high side, it doesn't exceed what was currently budgeted," a commissioner said.

All consent items were approved by roll call during the meeting; staff were directed to follow through on contract execution, disposal procedures and posting the deputy warden position.
