Board approves letter supporting Small‑County PILT parity proposal
Summary
Commissioners voted April 27 to send a letter supporting the Small County PILT Parity Act intended to adjust caps affecting federal land payment distribution; staff will draft the letter for Representative Jeff Hurd and legislative contacts.
The board voted to authorize a letter of support for legislation described in the meeting as the "Small County PILT Parity Act," which speakers said would reduce a cap that limits payments to small counties.
Chair (Speaker 2) introduced the motion to assemble support for the bill, saying the change would increase county allocations: "...it would just decrease the cap on residence from 5,000 to 500. So Dolores County would benefit from that..." The motion to draft and send a support letter for Representative Jeff Hurd's effort was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Staff will prepare a formal letter of support and circulate it for signature and will place any follow-up on the next meeting agenda if additional direction is required.
