Posted

On Tuesday, Jan. 7, the Archuleta County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC) unanimously approved Resolution 2025-1, establishing a location for the posting of official county notices, setting meeting dates and office hours for county offices.

According to the resolution, pursuant to Colorado Revised Statute 24-6-402, in its first meeting of the year the BoCC is required to designate a posting place of official notices. 

The official posting place for public notices “shall be a link on the home page of the county website at www.arechuletacounty.org,” the resolution states.

Public notices will continue to be posted at the current county administration building located at 398 Lewis St., “as a supplementary location,” the resolution notes, adding, “however, such postings are for convenience only and the official public notice posting shall be the link on the home page of the county website.”

All other county boards, committees, commissions, authorities, or other advisory, policy-making or rule-making bodies will also have public notices posted for meetings, along with agendas, on the county website, according to the resolution.

Regular BoCC meetings will be held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 1:30 p.m., with the exception of March 4, June 3 and Nov. 4, which will be held on March 6, June 5 and Nov. 6. Meetings will be held at 398 Lewis St. unless otherwise noticed, the resolution explains.

During the Jan. 7 meeting, Commissioner Veronica Medina asked if there needed to be an adjustment to have a work session and special meeting scheduled for Dec. 30.

County Manager Jack Harper explained the adjustment was needed, with Commissioner Warren Brown then moving to adopt the resolution to include a work session and special meeting on Dec. 30.

Also during the Jan. 7 meeting, Harper was unanimously appointed as the budget officer for 2025.

Harper indicated that the budget officer for Archuleta County has “historically” been the county manager.

The BoCC also unanimously approved its consent agenda, which included Resolution 2025-2 and Resolution 2025-3, appointing one member to the Archuleta County Fair Board and two members to the Archuleta County Planning Commission.

Development Director Pamela Flowers explains in an email to The SUN that three of the planning commissioners reached the end of their term: Mont McAllister, Peter Beaudry and Richard Vihel.

According to Resolution 2025-3, Andre Hubbard-Redstone and Peter Vecvanags have been appointed to a three-year term on the planning commission, concluding on Jan. 7, 2028.

Flowers explains that these two appointees will fill two of the three vacancies and the third vacancy will be filled by one of the three whose term has expired, which will be determined at the next planning meeting scheduled later this month.

According to Resolution 2025-2, Ann M. Radford has been appointed to the Archuleta County Fair Board and will serve a three-year term concluding on Jan. 7, 2028.
