Scofield council ratifies amendment adding Section g. to hazardous-conditions declaration after campground tarp report
Summary
At a June 29 special meeting, the Scofield Town Council unanimously ratified an amendment (adding Section g.) to the town's Declaration of Hazardous Environmental Conditions, including an added requirement that Sections C and D maintain a 20-foot buffer from vegetative growth after a public comment about a wind-blown tarp.
Scofield Town Council voted unanimously on June 29 to ratify an amendment adding Section g. to the town's Declaration of Hazardous Environmental Conditions during a special meeting called by Mayor Jim Levanger.
The amendment (the Declaration is dated June 14, 2026) was read aloud by Mayor Jim Levanger. Councilmember Brad Peacock moved to accept Section g. with an addition to Sections C and D specifying a 20-foot buffer from any vegetative growth; Councilmember Kim Eikkila seconded. The mayor polled the council; the minutes record Meliss Holloway as "Yes," Brad Peacock as voting (record shows "1" in the minutes, recorded here as a yes vote), Kim Eikkila as "Yes," and Mayor Jim Levanger as "Yes." The motion carried and the amendment was approved.
During the public comment period, Carol Levanger of 435 No. Front Street told the council she had "seen a large tarp fly up and over the town campground" and said, "The wind is very strong." The comment was heard before the council moved to adopt the amendment; the record does not show additional staff presentations or technical findings in this meeting.
After the vote, Councilmember Kim Eikkila moved to close the special meeting; Brad Peacock seconded and all were in favor. The meeting was adjourned at 7:46 p.m.
The record lists Debbie Redford on the roll call but does not record her participation in the roll-call vote on the amendment in the minutes provided.
