Rangely council adopts historic-preservation code, approves Sagewood West subdivision and key appointments
Summary
On April 8, 2025, the Rangely Town Council adopted Ordinance 704 updating the town's historic-structure code, approved resolution 2025-02A to enable a local preservation board, reauthorized the town manager to finalize the Sagewood West affordable-housing project, approved a two-lot minor subdivision for Sagewood West, and appointed the town manager as the community's representative to Northwest Transportation Planning.
The Rangely Town Council on April 8, 2025 adopted Ordinance 704 amending municipal code 15.50 on historic structure preservation and approved a package of related actions intended to position the town for History Colorado certification and preservation grant eligibility.
Councilmember Robert Elum moved to adopt Ordinance 704, and the motion was seconded by Andy Schaefer; the motion carried on a voice vote. The council then approved Resolution 2025-02A, enabling the Rangely Preservation Board and its bylaws, a step council members said is required to pursue local-government certification and related grant programs recommended by History Colorado.
In related business, council approved a revised resolution reauthorizing Town Manager Alan Parker as the town's authorized agent to negotiate and execute documents for the Sagewood West affordable housing project so Parker can complete the closing process. Council also approved Sagewood West Minor Subdivision phase one, dividing a lot into two lots; the motion to approve the subdivision was made by Tim Weber and seconded by Todd (last name not specified), and it carried on a voice vote.
The council named Alan Parker as Rangely's primary voting representative to the Northwest Transportation Planning group and appointed Ron Granger as alternate; councilors noted the appointment is relevant to the CDOT district meeting concerning Highway 64.
Council handled the votes as routine agenda items; no recorded roll-call tallies were read aloud beyond the customary voice vote affirmation of "I." Councilmembers who moved and seconded each motion were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The approved ordinance and enabling resolution are intended to let Rangely reapply for History Colorado local-government certification and thereby make certain preservation grants available to property and business owners. The Sagewood West actions were described as procedural steps to finalize a near-closing affordable-housing project.
The council adjourned the meeting at 7:48 p.m.
