The Fremont County Board of Commissioners honored Dr. Dean Sandoval of Canon City at their April 26th meeting for Sandoval's 15 years of service on the Fremont County Planning Commission. Sandoval did not seek reappointment to the Planning Commission this spring choosing to leave his post to spend more time with his dental practice and the Colorado outdoors.
County Commission Chair Debbie Bell noted that Sandoval served as Chairman of the Planning Commission for several years when the Commission undertook the task of updating the Fremont County Master Plan. District 3 Commissioner Ed Norden commended Sandoval for his wisdom and many long hours of service. Norden noted that the fact that three other members of the Planning Commission were in attendance at the meeting was a testament to the respect he had earned during his 15 years of service.
In thanking the Commissioners, Sandoval said it had been an enlightening experience and praised the hard work by Planning Director Bill Giordano and County Planner Marshall Butler.
