Water Commission approves Dec. 16 minutes with correction; no comment on two development items
Summary
The Douglas County Water Commission approved its Dec. 16 meeting minutes as amended and took a no‑comment position on two agenda items—Struby resurvey and Sand Creek Road residential application—forwarding them to county commissioners without additional comment.
At its Jan. 27, 2025 meeting the Douglas County Water Commission voted to approve the minutes from the Dec. 16 meeting with a correction requested by Commissioner Harold Smethals. The correction clarifies Smethals’ earlier remarks about candidate rankings in a prior appointment discussion.
The motion to approve the minutes with Smethals’ change was moved and seconded (second recorded as Tricia Bernhardt); the commission approved the minutes by voice vote with no opposition or abstentions recorded.
Earlier in the meeting commissioners reviewed two items requested by county commissioners for the commission’s position: a Struby resurvey (Highlands Ranch) and a Sand Creek Road residential application. No commission members offered comments at the meeting, and the commission recorded a formal position of “no comment” and asked that commissioners or staff be contacted directly if members later wished to submit comments.
Why it matters: the minutes approval and the recorded “no comment” positions are the formal administrative record of the commission’s actions; the commission noted members remain free to share additional feedback with staff or the county commissioners.
