Summary

Dolores County staff said conservation-trust letters are due and suggested funding could pay for scales at the fairgrounds; commissioners discussed possible shooting-range upgrades and lottery funds but asked for more detail before committing.

Staff informed the board that conservation-trust letters were due next week and suggested that if the board selected the fairgrounds as a project, the funds could be used to pay for scales and similar equipment already purchased.

"If you had decided on the fairgrounds, we can use the money to do the scales," staff said, noting the county would not have to make a separate request within the county group if the fairgrounds were chosen. Commissioners discussed shooting-range needs, possible lottery-fund support, and the planning process; no formal decision was made and staff was asked to gather additional information.

The board flagged timing and permitting issues as follow-up items and will consider the matter at a future meeting when more cost estimates and scope details are available.
