Commissioners set Public Forums for Cañon City & Florence

The Fremont County Commissioners have announced a pair of public meetings in Cañon City and Florence to kick off a series of Commissioners’ Forums with citizens across the county in 2006. Commission Chairman Mike Stiehl says the forums will again give the Commissioners the chance to meet face to face with citizens to discuss important county issues and to field questions.

The Commissioners expect to continue their discussion with citizens about finding solutions to the county’s fiscal problems, in particular how to open and staff the county’s new 96 bed jail which sits empty, adequately funding other law enforcement needs in the Sheriff’s Department, and restoring funding to the Road and Bridge Department to address road maintenance issues. Citizens will also have the opportunity to raise questions about any other issues of concern.

The District 1 Commissioners’ Forum is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday evening, January 25th, at the County Administration Building at 615 Macon in Cañon City. The District 2 Commissioners’ Forum is set 6 p.m. Wednesday evening, February 22nd, in the new Florence City Council Chambers located in the former Centura building.

The Commissioners urge all citizens who have concerns or questions about county government to attend any of the upcoming Commissioners’ Forums.
