Commissioners approve landfill grants, hangar lease, sheriff training and other routine contracts
Summary
At their April 1 meeting the Board of County Commissioners approved two landfill reimbursement grants, a hangar ground lease, a sheriff's travel request and several county contracts and renewals. Several approvals were voice votes; some follow-up paperwork and signature steps were delegated to the chair or staff.
The Grand County Board of County Commissioners on April 1 approved a set of routine administrative items including two landfill reimbursement grants from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, a commercial hangar ground lease at Kremmling Airport, a 60‑month copier lease for the sheriff's office, and an out‑of‑state travel request for Sheriff Brett Schrolein.
The board voted to authorize the chair to sign two CDPHE reimbursement grants covering groundwater sampling and analysis for the county landfills: Granby for $22,345.65 and Kremmling for $5,422.25. Road and Bridge staff told the board both grants are reimbursement agreements for the fiscal year 2024–25 work; a larger application for fiscal year 2025–26 was described as substantially larger but not finalized at the meeting.
The board also approved a commercial hangar ground lease at Kremmling Airport between Grand County and OKC Investments LLC and authorized the chair to sign the lease documents. County airports staff explained the lease applies to privately owned hangars and carries a 5¢ per square‑foot commercial fee applied to commercial hangars.
From the sheriff's office, the board approved a 60‑month Xerox copier lease for the sheriff's basement office and authorized the chair to sign related documents; the monthly lease payment cited by staff was $198.34 with usage charges listed in the contract (black‑and‑white and color per‑copy rates were discussed). The board also approved an out‑of‑state travel request for Sheriff Brett Schrolein to attend Advanced EMT clinicals in Las Vegas; staff estimated out‑of‑pocket cost at roughly $1,700.
The board approved an extension of the county’s comprehensive inmate medical coverage (an insurance product presented through CTSI). The contract description presented to commissioners included a per‑inmate deductible of $25,000, a per‑inmate coverage limit of $250,000 and a policy maximum of $1,000,000. The annual premium amount reported in the meeting transcript was not clearly stated and was not specified in the record provided to commissioners at the time of the vote.
Other approvals included maintenance contracts for three new printers (Information Systems), a maintenance/lease agreement for library and office devices, and a liquor license renewal for Tabernash Tavern (Tabernash Food and Beverage Company; owner Albert Sapien) for a hotel/restaurant license including takeout. The board ratified Community Development’s submission of a DOLA Energy Impact Assistance Grant application seeking a 50/50 match (the application requested $75,000 from DOLA to help cover expenses for a scheduled master‑plan update) and authorized Community Development to sign the grant documents if awarded.
Votes were taken by voice on these routine items; the meeting record shows affirmative voice votes but does not include a roll‑call tally for each item. Several approvals authorized the chair to sign documents via DocuSign or otherwise, and staff were tasked to follow up on missing or resubmitted signature packets.

Why it matters: These routine administrative approvals clear contracts and grant paperwork so county departments can proceed with scheduled operations — landfill monitoring and remediation work, airport business activity, sheriff office equipment and training, library and printer maintenance, and a continuing effort to update the county master plan if the DOLA award is made.
What’s next: Staff will complete DocuSign/contract signature steps where needed, follow up on missing packet items, and bring any grant award documents or contract exhibits back to the board if required by county procedure.
