El Paso County commissioners excuse absent member, approve land‑use consent calendar

The El Paso County Board of County Commissioners on March 13 voted 4-0 to excuse Commissioner Weissong from the Land Use meeting and approved the land‑use consent calendar covering items 6a–6g.

The actions were taken during a brief Land Use meeting that included an invocation by Susan Gillespie and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. A motion to excuse Commissioner Weissong was made and seconded; the board then took a roll call vote, with Commissioner Bremer, Commissioner Applegate, Vice Chair Williams and the chair each voting "aye." The motion to excuse Weissong passed 4-0.

The board then moved to the land‑use consent calendar (items 6a–6g). Meeting staff asked if anyone in the room or online wished to speak on the consent calendar; staff reported no speakers. A motion to approve the consent calendar was made and seconded and passed by the same 4-0 roll call: Commissioner Bremer voted aye; Commissioner Applegate voted aye; Vice Chair Williams voted aye; the chair voted aye.

The meeting record shows no called-up consent items, no department or committee reports presented, and no requests for an executive session. Staff announced the next meeting would be Tuesday, March 18, at 9 a.m. The meeting was then adjourned.
