Custer County approves accounts‑payable, waives landfill fees for Silver Cliff cleanup and adopts resolution to sell surplus tires

Custer County commissioners on April 15 approved routine financial reports, several personnel and board changes, and an item authorizing sale of surplus equipment and tires.

The board voted to accept the treasurer’s report and an accounts‑payable listing totaling $218,852.00 for the month. Commissioners discussed several AP line items above $5,000, including lodging for inmates at the Fremont County jail, two John Deere finance payments for motor graders (combined payment $69,174.24) and a 12,648.45 payment for airport jet‑A fuel.

Commissioners moved and approved a motion to waive landfill fees for the Town of Silver Cliff’s annual cleanup day in May. The board clarified the waiver applies only to materials collected by or for the town during its designated cleanup event and that the town must coordinate timing with the county landfill.

The board also approved a signatory change for the CSU Extension 4‑H bank account, removing a previous signer and adding Ashton Walter, and accepted a resignation from tourism board member Debbie Adams while appointing Wendy Rusk as a voting member effective April 15.

On a separate administrative motion the board adopted Resolution 2625 to authorize selling surplus Michelin tires and related items (discussion noted a retail‑type set priced at roughly $2,200). Commissioners discussed the unusual sizes of the tires and agreed to proceed with disposition under the county’s surplus disposition process.

None of the motions required new appropriations; most actions were procedural or administrative. Commissioners directed staff to obtain a written 2026 contract from Westcliffe regarding law‑enforcement services before final ratification and to return that contract to the board for formal approval.

The meeting moved next to public‑comment items and an attorney‑client executive session.
