Town Board Briefing
March 1, 2017
Please note that members of the Town Board will have dinner together starting at
5:30pm.
The regular Board meeting will commence at 6:00pm with two executive sessions, both
of which are expected to be completed by 7:00pm.
Enclosed for consideration are two intergovernmental agreements (IGAs). First, an IGA
among Grand County entities related to noxious weed management is proposed. Fraser
and Grand County have been collaborating on noxious weed management for many
years, and this IGA would formalize or relationship, include other entities, and formally
establish the Grand County Noxious Weed Advisory Board.
The second IGA relates to the Northwest Transportation Planning Regional Planning
Commission. This body is involved in long range planning and funding
recommendations for Colorado Department of Transportation projects and programs.
Representation has been based on one county representative and one municipal
representative from each county. This IGA changes that such that each county has a
representative AND each municipality has a voting representative. I believe this is a
very good change for Fraser and recommend approval.
I would like to revisit some of the provisions of Ordinance 436 with the Board. As we’ve
been working on implementation, I have concerns related to the availability of service
fee. While this seems relatively straightforward, as we’ve been working on determining
applicable properties, there seems to be some inequities that I would like to discuss.
Additionally, as we continue our work on the housing work plan, I believe the accessory
dwelling unit rates should be revisited.
Finally, I’ll be asking the Town Board for authorization to expense up to $27,000 for
painting the Historic Church, The Budget anticipates this expenditure, however, we
anticipated $18,000 for the project based on older estimates. Requests for proposals
were distributed to known painters in the area.
As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any additional
information.
