Park County commissioners approve contract renewal, plat amendment and appoint special counsel
Summary
At a brief Feb. 4 Park County Board of County Commissioners meeting, the board approved a $55,000 contract renewal with Mount Bailey Productions, a plat amendment for Elk Creek Highlands and appointed special counsel to serve as hearing officer in a short-term rental appeal; all votes were 3-0.
Park County commissioners met Feb. 4 and voted unanimously on three substantive items: a contract renewal with Mount Bailey Productions, a plat amendment for Elk Creek Highlands in Bailey and the appointment of special counsel to serve as hearing officer in a short-term rental appeal.
The measures cleared the board with no public comment and limited discussion during an 11-minute meeting. The actions formalize routine contract services, record a plat change approved previously in October 2024, and designate outside counsel for an administrative appeal.
The board approved a one-year contract renewal with Mount Bailey Productions to continue outreach, website support and related services for the South Park Heritage Area. The board packet lists the contract total as $55,000. Commissioners noted the agreement is a standard professional-services contract and can be amended if circumstances change. The motion passed 3-0.
The board also approved a resolution recommending acceptance of a plat amendment to reconfigure lots identified in the packet as “Lots 2829 and 30 of Elk Creek Highlands, filing 7, Block 19” in the Bailey area into two larger lots. Commissioners said the reconfiguration resolves a parcel split by a water course and that the neighbors agreed to the change; the board record shows the plat case had been heard and approved previously on Oct. 29, 2024. The resolution is listed as Resolution 25-003. The motion passed 3-0.
Finally, the board approved appointing Michaux (spelled variably in the packet), Guttenberger and McCaskin as special counsel to serve as hearing officer in a short-term rental license appeal. County staff described the contract as a standard agreement to provide hearing-officer services for that specific appeal. The motion passed 3-0.
Other routine business: the board adopted the meeting agenda, approved minutes and vouchers while excluding three contract items from consent for additional questions, closed public comment when no speakers were present and adjourned at about 11:12 a.m.
