San Miguel County commissioners approve consent agenda, adopt fee resolution and fund two part‑time deputy district attorneys
Summary
At a May 14 special meeting the San Miguel County Board of County Commissioners approved its consent agenda, unanimously adopted a proclamation and a resolution updating recorder/trustee fees, and authorized funds to create two part‑time deputy district attorney positions for the remainder of 2025.
The San Miguel County Board of County Commissioners voted on several administrative items during a special meeting on May 14 in Telluride.
The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote. It then adopted Proclamation 2025‑03 proclaiming May 2025 as Mental Health Awareness Month throughout San Miguel County; the proclamation was read at the meeting and adopted unanimously.
Later the board approved a funding request to restructure the county's district attorney staffing. The county will authorize up to $21,250 from general fund reserves to cover the remainder of the 2025 fiscal year while the DA's office moves from one full‑time assistant district attorney to two part‑time deputy district attorney positions so the current ADA can reduce hours. The board approved that motion without recorded opposition.
The commissioners also approved Resolution 2025‑14, notifying the public of statutory changes that modify county recording fees and public trustee fees. The resolution implements the changes required by Colorado House Bill 24‑1269 for county recording fees effective July 1, 2025, and notes the public trustee fee structure change enacted under HB 24‑1443 (effective July 1, 2024). The board adopted the resolution by unanimous vote.
