Moffat County commissioners approve airport appointment, road equipment and chip-seal purchases; table zoning amendments to March 11
Summary
Moffat County commissioners on Feb. 25 approved an airport advisory-board appointment, appointed a vice chair, adopted an intergovernmental resolution on contractor registration with the City of Craig and approved Road and Bridge purchases for sanders and chip-seal oil; commissioners also tabled proposed zoning regulation amendments until March 11.
The Moffat County Board of County Commissioners on Feb. 25 voted on routine appointments and several departmental procurement requests before moving into a lengthy public hearing on zoning and a solar project.
The board appointed Iva Jones to the joint airport advisory board and later appointed Commissioner Donald Broom as vice chair of the Board of County Commissioners. The airport appointment and the vice-chair appointment were each approved by a voice vote with commissioners saying "Aye." The board also approved a development services resolution (Resolution 2025-119) to authorize an intergovernmental process with the City of Craig related to building contractor registration; county planning staff said the resolution will require contractors registering to operate in Moffat County to be in "good standing" with the City of Craig and allows the City of Craig Board of Adjustment to review contractor eligibility under the 2017 Craig-Moffat Regional Building Department intergovernmental agreement.
Road and Bridge presented two procurement items. The board approved the purchase of four Monroe-brand sanders from OJ Watson Equipment of Denver for $103,920, a price the department said was well under the budgeted $140,000. Road and Bridge also sought to waive a separate formal bid process to purchase chip-seal oil at CDOT pricing through Suncor Energy to match the city of Craig's contract and scheduling. Department staff told the board Suncor quoted $607 per ton for the oil and staff estimated a three-load purchase would total $48,240; later in discussion the motion referred to a $670-per-ton figure. The board voted to waive the bid process and approved the purchase; the county will work with the vendor at CDOT prices and pursue a road maintenance agreement as part of the chip-seal work.
The board also advanced land-use procedure items. The board held a public hearing on proposed amendments to the county's planning and zoning regulations (Resolution 2025-14). Planning staff and the chair discussed delaying consideration so the public would have more time to review; after public comment, a commissioner moved to table Resolution 2025-14 to the next regular commissioner meeting on March 11, and the board approved the tabling motion by voice vote.
All votes were conducted by motion with voice vote recorded as "Aye." No roll-call tallies with named votes were recorded in the public transcript for these items.
