County adopts updated traffic code, approves quarry lease and a three‑year vending‑machine trial
Loading...
Summary
At the April 21 meeting commissioners adopted ordinance 2026‑02 to adopt the 2024 model traffic code, approved a renewed quarry lease for Laveta Pit with William Campbell and approved a three‑year vending machine lease with Lone Spruce LLC on a $25 trial fee.
Huerfano County commissioners at their April 21 meeting took several routine administrative actions:
• Traffic code update: The board adopted ordinance 2026‑02 to adopt by reference the 2024 model traffic code, modernizing local traffic enforcement so deputies can issue local citations and county revenue remains with the county. A commissioner moved and the board approved the ordinance by roll call vote.
• Quarry lease: Commissioners approved a renewed lease for the Laveta sand and gravel pit with William Campbell to bring the pit’s lease into compliance after MSHA identified an expired lease and boundary adjustments. Staff said the lease and amendment complete the compliance process required by prior inspections.
• Vending‑machine lease: The board approved a three‑year trial lease with Lone Spruce LLC for a vending machine to be placed in the county facility referenced at the meeting (term begins April 22). The lease fee is $25 for the three‑year term; the county will seek to recoup electricity costs if they arise. Commissioners described the arrangement as a low‑cost trial and approved the lease by unanimous vote.
All three motions were seconded and approved by voice or roll calls during the regular meeting.
