Collbran trustees offer Dustie Colella temporary 90-day appointment as interim town clerk and treasurer
Summary
The Town of Collbran Board of Trustees voted to offer Dustie Colella a temporary 90‑day appointment as interim town clerk and treasurer, setting pay at $30 per hour as an employee or $40 per hour as a contractor and making the offer contingent on satisfactory reference checks.
The Town of Collbran Board of Trustees voted to offer Dustie Colella a temporary 90-day appointment as interim town clerk and treasurer, setting pay at $30 per hour under an employment contract or $40 per hour as a contractor.
The board made the decision after meeting in executive session under Colorado Revised Statutes §24-6-402(4)(f), which allows governing bodies to discuss personnel-qualified matters in private. The motion to offer Colella the temporary appointment was moved by Mayor Wilcox and seconded by Trustee Price and was amended to make the offer contingent on satisfactory reference checks. The minutes show the motion passed on roll call with Trustees Winkleblack, Price, Evans and Mayor Wilcox recorded as voting yes.
Trustee Winkleblack initially moved that the board enter executive session to discuss qualifications and a potential appointment for an interim town clerk/treasurer; Trustee Price seconded that motion and the board voted to enter executive session. The minutes record the board entering executive session and note Trustee Evans joined via Zoom.
The minutes list compensation and term details: a temporary, 90-day assignment; $30 per hour if hired under an employment contract; and $40 per hour if engaged as a contractor. The board directed Town Attorney Wilson Scarbeary to negotiate an agreement consistent with those terms and the reference-check contingency.
The minutes contain inconsistent time notations for when the executive session ended and when the meeting adjourned; the record states the board entered executive session at 6:25 p.m. and later records the resumption of the regular meeting and an adjournment time in the same minutes (see audit). The board did not record any further debate or direct quotes related to the substance of the candidate’s qualifications in the published minutes.
The minutes indicate the meeting was then adjourned; the signed minutes include an attestation block and the town seal notation.
