Park County Engineer, Brian Edwards – RE Approve to Replace a Park County Road & Bridge Mechanic
Trapper Marsh reported for Mr. Edwards. Road and Bridge is requesting permission to fill the mechanic position that is vacant. The department would like to go through the job description and pay rate and report back to the board with the recommendations on how to move forward with filling the position which possibly would include fleet management for county vehicles.
After discussions Commission Livingston made a motion to allow Road & Bridge to move forward with filling the mechanic position, Commissioner Thiel seconded, and motion carried.
Park County Commissioners – RE: Discussion to Start the Vacation Process and Vacate an Easement on Castle Rock Road
Mr. Edwards presented a resolution to vacate public road easements over private property owned by Hawks Hill Ranch, LLC located west of Deer Creek Road. This action is separate from but related to pending vacations for Roads 6JM, Road 54 and 54B. After a lengthy discussion and upon considering Attorney Skoric’s comments regarding commencement of the vacation and why it would be in the public interest, Commissioner Livingston made a motion to initiate the vacation process of all public easements from the junction of County Road 6NS to Castle Rock Road west to State Land Tract 53 near Road 6JM and appoint Brian Edwards as the viewer. Commissioner Fulkerson seconded and clarified that this process is to eliminate confusion regarding the public road easements and motion carried.  RESOLUTION 2020-59
Park County Commissioners – RE: Approve and Sign Hawks Hill Ranch, LLC and Park County Road Improvement Agreement County Road 6NS
Mr. Edwards presented an agreement for improvements to County Road 6NS with the opportunity to cost share and chip seal those two miles with Hawks Hill Ranch. The share would be 80% county and 20% the ranch. If approved this would help in snow removal and save the county money during the winter months as additional equipment would not need to be hauled to the area to complete the removal process. Commissioner Fulkerson made a motion to approve and sign the agreement as presented, Commissioner Livingston seconded, and motion carried.
Adjourn.
Commissioner Livingston made a motion to adjourn, Commissioner Thiel seconded, and the motion carried.
