The meeting was called to order at 7:07 p.m. At this time Kristen read the minutes from the previous meeting. Amy Hardy did not like the wording around the impact the road improvements might have on the aspen grove between her home and the highway. Amy wanted all to know that it is BoCo’s intention to get back to us with some ideas on how to preserve/ fix the road and what impact that may have on the trees. With the changes, Christina motioned to accept the minutes. Bobbi Ann seconds. 7 in favor. 4 abstained.
Recycling/ Sustainability– We received our $15 k from the Sustainability Grant, therefore it is now imperative that we begin planning how to match the funding with our efforts. There will be several meetings in January to get a good start on this project. Also there are other grant opportunities coming up that will also be discussed.
Clerk– Kristen reported that Cirsa pointed out several areas of concern during the November Loss/ Control Meeting with Cirsa. The electricity between the radio station and the Town Hall, as well as the failing glass ceiling in library entrance were major concerns and will cause our rates to go up if not fixed.
Also, please note that the unsightly campers that were on the Peak to Peak near Tucker’s are GONE! Chris Pelletier, Jesse Farmer and Tucker Pattridge loaded them into a dumpster that Ward paid for.
Kristen pointed out the great job that Brodi Hawk has been doing shoveling. Keep up the good work, Brods!
Budget– A few final changes were made such as adding funds to the Abandoned Vehicle Fund, in the amount of $400. Also, a new line item was added for yearly funding for the Kid’s Christmas Party/ Pageant/ Talent Show, in the amount of $100. Christina motioned to accept the budget. Bobbi Ann seconds. 12 in favor. 1 abstained.
Reading of Marijuana/ Bicycle Ordinance– After much more discussion about inspections of electricity and how to keep grows organic, Christina Zahn motioned to extend our moratorium on licensing “legal grows” until December 2016. Amy Hardy seconds. 12 in favor. 1 abstained.
At this time, Andy motioned to have the “single-file ordinance” voted on at our regular April election. Christina seconds. All were in favor.
Katrina & Crystal– These ladies were present to ask for help funding the Kid’s Christmas Party. This was a no-brainer. All were in favor of a yearly $100 donation to this fabulous celebration! A new line was added to the budget for the future! You ladies ROCK!
Meeting Adjourned @ 9 p.m.
