Park County commissioners approve routine resolutions, change meeting schedule and reappoint board members
Summary
On Jan. 14, 2026, the Park County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved two resolutions including a deposit-of-funds resolution, changed its regular meeting days back to Tuesdays, appointed Commissioner Wissel as chair for 2026 and reappointed several ABE board members.
The Park County Board of Commissioners met Jan. 14, 2026, and unanimously approved several routine actions including Resolution 2026-004 on deposit of funds, a change to its recurring meeting schedule and multiple board appointments. Commissioner Jason Gemmer was appointed chair for 2026 and the board reappointed and appointed members to the ABE board.
The actions reflect routine administrative housekeeping the board handled in a 50-minute session that opened at 3:03 p.m. and adjourned at 3:53 p.m. The board voted 3-0 on each motion. Key votes included approval of Resolution 2026-004 concerning the county treasurer's deposit of funds and Resolution 2026-005 rescinding and replacing a prior resolution to recommend amendments to the Park County Land Use Regulation.
Commissioner Amy Mitchell moved to amend the agenda early in the meeting, removing an abatement hearing for Parcel R0047546; Commissioner Gemmer seconded and the amendment carried 3-0. The board then approved consent items, including vouchers and minutes, on a 3-0 vote.
Following consent, the board approved several items by unanimous votes: Resolution 2026-004 (deposit of funds) and Resolution 2026-005 (rescind and replace recommendation for land use regulation amendments). The board also voted to change its regular meeting schedule back to Tuesdays with 9:00 a.m. work sessions and 1:00 p.m. BOCC meetings on the first three Tuesdays of each month.
Commissioner Gemmer moved to appoint Commissioner Wissel as BOCC chairperson for 2026; Commissioner Mitchell seconded and the motion carried 3-0. The board approved reappointments to the ABE board as follows: John Reiber (term through 12/31/2026), Patrick Schliken (through 12/31/2027), Ramon Castro (through 12/31/2027), Bernie Peterson (through 12/31/2028), and the new appointment of Amie Huffman (through 12/31/2027).
The meeting included two procedural presentations: a 'Guidelines for Remote Attendance' document and 'General Guidelines for Public Speaking,' both presented by Commissioner Mitchell and entered into the record. Public comment was recorded under the names Stan Bates and Suzie Bates; the transcript lists their names but does not include the content of their remarks. Commissioner Mitchell moved to close public comment and the motion carried 3-0.
The meeting adjourned at 3:53 p.m. Staff were given direction where applicable and documents referenced during the meeting (minutes, staff reports and guideline PDFs) were added to the record.
