Pitkin County moves to advance two board nominees, city of Aspen names APCHA candidates
Summary
After interviews, commissioners signaled unanimous in‑room support to advance appointments for a senior‑services seat and a Board of Adjustment vacancy and staff will prepare a resolution for formal consideration at the board's first regular meeting in February; the City of Aspen also recommended APCHA appointments.
Pitkin County commissioners held candidate interviews on Jan. 27 and indicated they would move forward with appointments to two local boards, instructing staff to prepare a formal resolution for the board’s first regular meeting in February.
Charlotte Anderson introduced the senior services council interviewee listed on the agenda; the applicant described museum work and a desire to foster intergenerational programming. Board members complimented the applicant’s community engagement and thanked the applicant for applying.
Shortly afterward the Board of Adjustment candidate Amos introduced himself and described local experience; commissioners discussed conflicts, attendance expectations and timing for board decisions. After interviews, the board agreed in the room to advance both the senior services candidate and the Board of Adjustment candidate and the chair directed staff to prepare a resolution for formal appointment at the February meeting.
The City of Aspen also contacted county staff with recommended APCHA appointees: Peter Grenny for a regular seat and Jacqueline Matthews for an alternate seat. Commissioners expressed support for the city’s recommendations, and staff said they would draft the required resolution for the county’s upcoming regular meeting.
What happened next
- Commissioners said they had unanimity among those present to move the two interviews forward; no formal roll‑call vote was recorded that day.
- Staff will prepare a single resolution that lists the appointments for formal approval at the first regular meeting in February.
Quotes and context
A board member summarized the in‑room sentiment: “We have unanimity in the room, and we have absenteeism in the workplace. But we, the board, would like to move forward with both Amos and Allison.” Staff responded that they would prepare the resolution and bring it to the regular meeting for formal action.
Next steps
Staff will circulate the drafted resolution and place the item on the Feb. first regular meeting agenda for formal approval.
