The Fremont County Commissioners dealt with a very brief agenda of business for their January 22nd regular board meeting. The Commissioners added two new members to the Fremont County Fairboard appointing Marsha Bouchard and Jean Whitehorn.
The Commissioners voted to designate Commissioner Ed Norden to represent the board at a legal settlement conference in Denver on Tuesday, February 12th. Norden would have authority to act on behalf of the board in event any settlement would be arrived at in the case of Ingle vs. Dryer and Webb. The Commissioners later learned that the settlement conference had been canceled for February 12th and instead a mediation session has been scheduled in Colorado Springs for the case on February 25th.
Commissioner Norden also shared information at the meeting about the recent community agency grant awards by the Fremont County Tourism Council. He also discussed the new pie charts developed by county officials detailing how property taxes are distributed in various areas of the county. The color charts are posted outside the offices of the County Treasurer and Assessor and on the internet on the County Treasurer's web page at www.fremontco.com.
The Commissioners also scheduled a public hearing for the February 26th board meeting on a request to extend a conditional use permit for Fremont Paving to allow for continued reclamation work on a gravel pit on the east side of Highway 67 just north of the Arkansas River near Florence.
