Park County commissioners designate themselves as appeals board for contractor licensing
Summary
The Board approved a resolution appointing the Board of County Commissioners as the county appeals board for contractor licensing decisions, citing due-process requirements and recent language changes recommended by the county attorney.
Park County's Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously Wednesday to adopt a resolution designating the board itself as the county appeals body for contractor licensing decisions.
Why it matters: County staff and the county attorney said the change formalizes an internal appeals pathway for contractors when a license is denied. Commissioners cited due-process concerns and the need for a clearly defined appeals procedure under Colorado law.
County staff said Development Services staff and new County Attorney Christy Fitch reviewed licensing language and identified gaps in the existing process. The resolution appoints the Board of County Commissioners as the Park County Appeals Board for licensing matters; commissioners said it is one of several amendments planned to the county's licensing procedures.
The board approved the resolution by voice vote, 3-0.
Next steps: County staff indicated additional language changes and related amendments to licensing procedures will come before the board in subsequent meetings.
