Votes at a glance: Custer County approves contracts, DHS policy revision, resolution to sell surplus gear and a CDOT waiver
Summary
At its April 29 meeting the Custer County Board approved an intergovernmental sheriff contract (pending mayoral signature confirmation), adopted Resolution 26-26 to sell a surplus water tank and trailer, accepted a DHS policy revision, approved an accounts-payable report and authorized a CDOT construction-management waiver for a Baseline sidewalk project.
The Custer County Board of Commissioners took several formal actions April 29, adopting motions and making votes on contracts, policy revisions and surplus-property disposition.
Key votes and outcomes - Town-sheriff intergovernmental agreement (pending signature): The board moved to approve the intergovernmental agreement between the town of Westcliffe and the sheriff’s office, with the chair noting approval is contingent on verifying the town mayor’s signature; commissioners agreed to sign locally after verification. (Motion introduced; outcome: approved pending signature verification.)
- Accounts-payable report accepted: Staff presented AP items over $5,000 including county attorney fees ($5,031.50), Delta Dental ($6,771.04), Meritaine Health ($111,870.53), software/support ($10,321.75), district attorney office payments ($25,216.98) and a $123,750 crushing contract; the board accepted the AP report.
- Department of Human Services policy revision: Commissioners adopted a revision to the Custer County Department of Human Services policy on falsification and child-welfare records quality-assurance investigations, noting it aligns county practice with recent state changes. A motion to accept the revision was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote.
- Resolution 26-26 (sale of water tank and trailer): The board read and adopted Resolution 26-26 to authorize sale of a water tank and trailer from the federal DRMO program (asset ID 22) for $1,501, directing proceeds to the sheriff’s military-surplus fund per statute.
- CDOT construction-management waiver: The board approved a Colorado Department of Transportation consultant-waiver request (form used to allow the design firm to submit a construction-management bid) for the Baseline sidewalk project. Staff and commissioners discussed rising fuel and concrete costs and state-level funding reductions that may affect the project budget.
Procedural notes and next steps: several approvals were conditioned on follow-up verification (for example, confirming the Westcliffe mayor’s signature on the sheriff contract). Commissioners asked staff to continue follow-up on grant or financing details tied to the Baseline project and to report results on refinancing and asset sales that affect capital funds.
The meeting adjourned at 09:52.
