Acceptance of Water Treatment Plant expansion tabled after recusals leave board without quorum
Summary
Trustees recused themselves from acting on the Water Treatment Plant expansion acceptance because of potential conflicts; Town Attorney advised the item could not proceed without a quorum, and the board tabled the matter to July 14, 2026.
The Board considered an item to accept the Water Treatment Plant expansion project, which had received funding from the State Revolving Fund (SRF) and the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB). Trustee Andrew Rice announced a recusal because he is employed by a state agency that reviewed, approved, and partially funded the project; Trustee Chris Sturm also recused due to CWCB involvement. Town Attorney Jeff Parker advised that recusal decisions are individual and that action cannot be taken without a quorum; the Board, by consensus, tabled the item to the July 14, 2026 meeting.
The minutes record the funding sources and the legal advice but do not include further technical discussion or a vote on the project's acceptance. The item will return to a future public meeting where recusals and quorum can be addressed.
