Public comments acknowledged; council discusses trail connectivity letter and streetlight change
Summary
Council members acknowledged multiple public commenters and discussed writing a letter about trail connectivity and the possibility of changing streetlights; no formal motions were recorded on these topics and the meeting adjourned after scheduling future sessions.
The Town of Crested Butte acknowledged written and oral public comments and discussed nonbinding next steps at a short May 4 special meeting.
Mayor Ian Billick acknowledged written public feedback submitted in advance from John Simmons, Peter Dea, Kent Lindberg, Audrey Anderson and Dave Ochs. During the oral public-comment period, two residents—Glo Cuningham of 324 Teocalli Avenue and Lis Collins of 20 Teocalli Avenue—spoke; the transcript notes their participation but does not record the content of their remarks.
In other business, Mayor Billick proposed that the council draft a letter regarding trail connectivity. Council member Gabi Prochaska mentioned changing streetlights as a topic for future consideration. The transcript records these as proposals or topics for follow-up rather than motions or formal direction to staff.
Staff provided updates: Town Manager Dara MacDonald and PROST Director Janna Hansen each "updated" the council according to the record, and Town Attorney Karl Hanlon gave a legal update; the meeting transcript does not include substantive text for those updates. The council scheduled work sessions and regular meetings for May 18, June 1 and June 15, 2026. Mayor Billick adjourned the meeting at 8:36 p.m.
