Montezuma County commissioners approve subdivision amendment, liquor-license renewal and routine contracts
Summary
Commissioners approved a subdivision amendment to extend a parcel to County Road T, renewed a liquor license for Maverick Inc., approved lodgers tax disbursements, awarded a compensation-study contract and approved $3.41 million in March payables; all votes were unanimous.
Chair opened the May 12 meeting of the Montezuma County Board of County Commissioners and the board moved quickly through several consent and action items.
The board approved a subdivision-amendment application for Lots 1 and 2 of the Frank Spohr subdivision (first amended), submitted by Ron and Sean Russell and Jonas and Ella Kim, for properties at 25582 and 25640 Road T in Dolores. Don, planning staff, described the proposal as an ‘‘acre-for-acre’’ boundary-line adjustment that will allow the Russells’ property to extend to County Road T. A commissioner moved to accept the amendment and the motion passed unanimously.
Jerry Frizzell of the clerk’s office presented a retail liquor-license renewal for Maverick Inc., d/b/a Maverick No. 763, at 7255 U.S. Highway 160/491 in Cortez. Frizzell told the board there were no recorded violations (the store has not yet opened). The board approved the renewal by voice vote.
The board also approved the Montezuma County Lodgers Tax Committee’s award recommendations. The committee had received requests totaling $355,000; the county verified $308,801.13 was available for disbursement (a shortfall of about $46,198.87). The commissioners approved the awards as presented.
On procurement, the board accepted the workshop recommendation to award the county’s compensation-study contract to PonteFlex for $39,500. Commissioners noted four qualified proposals were considered.
Finance presented March payables totaling $3,408,396.72; a motion to approve the payables carried unanimously.
The clerk’s office and county staff handled routine announcements and scheduling throughout the meeting. The board closed the session after finishing the agenda and adjourning.
What’s next: Items discussed but without final action included a tabled USDA Wildlife Services recommendation on vector control and other planning items (Durand subdivision, a revised high-impact permit for Brian Davis) that staff said will return to a future agenda.
