June 23rd Commissioners Meeting

June 23rd Commissioners Meeting

After adoption of a resolution on June 8th to have the Fremont County Building Department take over the task of manufactured home inspections in Fremont County, the Board of Commissioners Tuesday approved another resolution setting a fee schedule for those inspections.

The manufactured home inspection fees adopted by the commissioners calls for a $350 fee to be collected for the county plus another $40 mandatory fee to be collected for the State of Colorado. County Building Official Mike Cox said the $390 fee is still considerably less than the $600 to $700 fee that third party inspectors had been charging for manufactured home inspections.

The commissioners Tuesday also conducted a public hearing on a Community Development Block Grant revolving loan fund through the Upper Arkansas Area Council of Governments. Jeff Ollinger told the commissioners that $290,000 is being made available for small business loans in the six-county region of Fremont, Custer, Chaffee, Lake, Park, and Teller Counties over a two year period. He said the money will come from the Governor's Office of Economic Development and simply expands the amount of money available in the loan pool to small businesses in the six counties.

In other business the commissioners:
  • Approved a special events beer permit for the Canon City Rodeo Association for motocross races on July 10th and 11th at the rodeo grounds south of Canon City;
  • Approved a change in the corporate structure for the hotel and restaurant liquor license for Merlino's Belvedere. The change shows Mike and Cathy Merlino now holding a 51 percent interest in the corporation with Bruce and Susie Bell holding the remaining 49 percent.
