Council approves historic-preservation code changes, creates Rangely Preservation Board
Summary
Rangely council approved amendments to Municipal Code 15.50 and a resolution to enable a Rangely Preservation Board, citing History Colorado recommendations to pursue local certification and grant eligibility.
The Rangely Town Council approved an ordinance amending Municipal Code 15.50 on historical structure preservation and a companion resolution establishing the Rangely Preservation Board and bylaws. The clerk said both items were "recommendations by History Colorado" designed to allow the town to "apply again to get certified as a local government and move that forward," enabling community members and local businesses to pursue preservation grants.
Council voted on the ordinance and the resolution by voice; no public comments were raised during the final reading. Council members said the change opens grant opportunities and community access to preservation resources. The newly created board will have enabling bylaws approved by the council and will be the town's local body for preservation coordination and grant application oversight.
