Monte Vista council approves consent agenda, meeting schedule resolution and airport crack‑seal grant
Summary
At its Jan. 2 meeting the council approved the consent agenda (minutes of Dec. 19, 2024, and accounts payable), adopted Resolution 2025‑1 setting regular meeting dates and designated public posting locations, and approved a CDOT‑funded 2025 crack‑seal project for the municipal airport runway with a 5% city match.
The Monte Vista City Council took three formal actions during its Jan. 2 meeting, all approved unanimously by the council members present.
The council voted to approve the consent agenda, which included the minutes of the Dec. 19, 2024 regular meeting and approval of accounts payable. The motion carried on an affirmative voice roll call: Councilor Howard — yes; Councilor Lorenz — yes; Councilor Watson — aye; Mayor Pro Tem Secola — aye; Mayor Becker — aye.
The council adopted Resolution 2025‑1, which sets the city council’s regular meeting schedule for the first and third Thursdays of each calendar month at 6 p.m. at the Monte Vista City Hall, 95 West First Street, and designates the front south door and the city website as the public places for meeting notices. The motion to approve Resolution 2025‑1 passed on a roll call vote with the same unanimous tally: Howard, Lorenz, Watson, Secola and Becker voting in favor.
Council also approved a grant agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Aeronautics program to use Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funding for a 2025 crack‑seal and mastic project on the Monte Vista Municipal Airport runway. Staff said the runway rehabilitation project was postponed to approximately 2032 and that the crack‑seal work will extend the runway surface life until a larger rehabilitation can be funded. The project requires a 5% city cash match. The council approved the grant acceptance on a unanimous vote (Howard, Lorenz, Watson, Secola, Becker).
No other formal motions or ordinances were adopted at the meeting.
