The Fremont County Commissioners dealt with a brief agenda for their 2008 re-organizational meeting. District 3 Commissioner Ed Norden handed over the Chairman's gavel for the coming year to District 2 Commissioner Larry Lasha. District 1 Commissioner Mike Stiehl was elected the Chairman Pro-Tem. The Commissioners also voted to reappoint Brenda Jackson as County Attorney commending her for her service to Fremont County over the years.
Other resolutions adopted to meet statutory requirements for the new year included designation of the official posting places for Commissioners' public meeting notices, designation of official bank depositories for the county, designating the schedule for regular board meetings at 9:30 a.m. on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month, and designation of the Canon City Daily Record as the primary official newspaper and the Florence Citizen as the secondary official newspaper for county publication notices.
The Commissioners also approved a resolution adopting Phase II of the county's compensation plan for Fremont County employees. The plan was prepared by a Denver consultant and for 2008 includes an allowance for some longevity pay for county employees. Employees will see the first benefits of the compensation plan changes in their January 25th payroll checks. For all practical purposes the Commissioners put the new compensation plan into effect with the adoption last month of the 2008 county budget.
Chairman Lasha also reported that at Tuesday morning's regular meeting of the Fremont County Airport Advisory Committee Walt Giffin was re-elected as the Committee Chairman for the next two years. Lasha said County Engineer Don Moore also detailed to the committee some different design options for laying out the development of county property south of the airport runway. After more review by the committee and the Commissioners a formal airport plat is expected to be adopted by the Commissioners in the coming months.
