Commissioner Items

Commissioner Canda reported that the Board of Health (BoH) and the Economic Recovery Board met. The next BoH is scheduled for June 4th at 1 p.m.  He attended The Airport Board meeting. The Airport is short $50K on the AWAH program because the project cost has increased over time. They have been working with CDOT (Division of Aeronautics) and are also working to get the power trenched. It is a 3,400 ft. trench and the project may cost 10K. Efforts are being made to get a match of 5K in funding. The Airport Board  has also asked Sangre Electric how much it would cost to have them do it. Canda reported the commissioners continue working on the Fiber project and are working hard on getting the two spots for the towers nailed down and working with landowners directly. The work with Carmel group has been slow due to the virus. All three commissioners attended the Broadband executive session on May 4th. Canda said he sent the PDOT agreement to the two towns and the commissioners so that everyone is on the same page and can proceed on the intergovernmental agreement. An Internet Speed survey is now on the county website and he sent it to the newspapers. He is hoping to get feedback from the community. The new water truck is arriving today or tomorrow. He deferred to Mr. Flower on a new piece of road equipment that the county is using. Chairmen Flower said Mr. Hyde has a road groomer on a demo project. (The county is looking to budget an additional piece of equipment in the future.) Continue reading BOCC: May 29 Exasperating Pontification →
