Town Administrator Aitken told the council that he is finalizing an agreement with the United States Forest Service (USFS) for annual maintenance on the road that leads to the town’s water system infrastructure in Prater Canyon. The agreement carries a $155 processing fee and will apply for the 99‑year lease period of the road.

Aitken specifically commended Public Works Director Zack Edwards and his crew for their preparation, saying their work “impressed USFS inspectors,” and noted the agreement should be completed by mid‑February. The maintenance agreement is intended to secure long‑term access and upkeep for the road used to service water facilities in Prater Canyon.

The item was presented as part of the administration update during the Jan. 13 work session; the council did not take a formal vote on the USFS agreement during the work session but directed staff to finalize paperwork and return with any documents requiring formal council action.
