1
00:00:58,260 --> 00:01:07,240
And I think we're just going to be a very, very, very seasoned, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very much.

2
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,120
I don't think I'm just a person.

3
00:01:14,100 --> 00:01:14,360
It's just a person.

4
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,280
And they are very strong.

5
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,160
And I think it was just a precise thing.

6
00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:19,300
I'm hearing from you.

7
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,580
And he's like, you can come much as a bear with.

8
00:01:21,860 --> 00:01:22,360
That's a good one.

9
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:23,920
You can't missries.

10
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:25,280
How many bears his marshes?

11
00:01:25,740 --> 00:01:25,980
Yeah.

12
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,020
I've been not sure to bear that.

13
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:32,300
I'm trying to tell you when I'm telling you.

14
00:01:32,620 --> 00:01:34,540
But how many do you think that's going to be a bit higher?

15
00:01:34,540 --> 00:01:35,480
It was horrible.

16
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,700
But it was not really great now to the point that it was horrible.

17
00:01:38,860 --> 00:01:40,900
So now it's become like the fresh scraps.

18
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:42,780
And like a chin out still in our house.

19
00:01:42,940 --> 00:01:44,340
Who can get the face up anyway?

20
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:44,860
I don't know.

21
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,180
We just have to quit doing like fruit and stuff for others.

22
00:01:47,300 --> 00:01:48,520
Well, they go back.

23
00:01:48,860 --> 00:01:49,060
Wow.

24
00:01:49,580 --> 00:01:49,640
Yeah.

25
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:49,820
Yeah.

26
00:01:49,900 --> 00:01:51,340
It was like this perfect baking.

27
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:52,800
Oh, it's big.

28
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:53,580
It's a good idea to go back.

29
00:01:53,820 --> 00:01:54,920
I'm very good at that.

30
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,940
Oh, oh, I'm a factor out of my bed.

31
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:58,980
I was like, I think my shadow radiant provides.

32
00:01:59,620 --> 00:02:00,800
I also have so much to do.

33
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,300
I'm going to cry.

34
00:02:01,300 --> 00:02:02,640
Sometimes even more.

35
00:02:11,490 --> 00:02:13,730
This is mathematical academic district chair.

36
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:20,330
This is a Waters celebration time of September 2nd and February 3m,

37
00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:22,770
Commissioners please introduce yourselves.

38
00:02:23,130 --> 00:02:24,010
It's a bit of a thought point.

39
00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:26,670
Members should put an order núcleDIA economy commissioner.

40
00:02:27,430 --> 00:02:29,990
So tack a landing commission.

41
00:02:30,370 --> 00:02:37,930
Ladies and gentlemen, how many staff.

42
00:02:37,930 --> 00:02:38,670
Is it about

43
00:02:38,670 --> 00:02:40,870
All right, a couple items here.

44
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:43,950
The first up here is the Colorado Department of Transportation

45
00:02:43,950 --> 00:02:46,190
and C.D. at Planning Presentation.

46
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:48,770
Please say a big morning, and please introduce yourselves

47
00:02:48,770 --> 00:02:49,750
and then you have the floor.

48
00:02:49,950 --> 00:02:50,590
Yes, thank you.

49
00:02:50,610 --> 00:02:51,410
I'm Julie Constan.

50
00:02:51,410 --> 00:02:53,310
I'm the raging director for which Southwest

51
00:02:53,310 --> 00:02:55,050
is at Central Colorado, C.D.

52
00:02:55,630 --> 00:02:56,590
I'm Tony Gady.

53
00:02:56,610 --> 00:03:00,430
I'm the Planning and Environmental Manager for reach 5, 10.

54
00:03:00,850 --> 00:03:01,530
Tim Fong.

55
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:03,310
I'm C.D. at's planner for reach 5.

56
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:05,250
Ladies, I'm Annie Althberg.

57
00:03:05,290 --> 00:03:06,430
I want to see that written five.

58
00:03:06,430 --> 00:03:08,430
just the multifaceted model of transit liaison.

59
00:03:08,950 --> 00:03:11,610
And then this also might watch the main superintendent.

60
00:03:12,270 --> 00:03:13,710
And then down in the London more shazard

61
00:03:13,710 --> 00:03:15,450
that I've been for the planning unit.

62
00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:18,150
You're welcome to the table, if you like,

63
00:03:18,450 --> 00:03:19,990
or if you want to sit back for a minute, for a minute.

64
00:03:21,930 --> 00:03:24,110
You do the only one that line up virus.

65
00:03:24,730 --> 00:03:25,350
That's not a chance.

66
00:03:25,730 --> 00:03:26,390
I'm going to get a phone.

67
00:03:27,390 --> 00:03:28,130
That I had done.

68
00:03:29,470 --> 00:03:32,550
Well, yeah, thanks for having us.

69
00:03:32,610 --> 00:03:34,350
You just know we try to come out every year

70
00:03:34,350 --> 00:03:41,510
to meet with all of our counties the Transportation Commission, which is sort of C-DOT's regulatory

71
00:03:41,510 --> 00:03:50,750
body adopted new guidelines in May as it relates to our statewide Transportation Improvement

72
00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:52,590
Program or Stip.

73
00:03:53,630 --> 00:04:02,450
And that requires what we call our planning and programming process, the strategic project

74
00:04:02,450 --> 00:04:08,010
priority programming process or 4P process. So that's kind of the driver of these meetings.

75
00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:13,610
So they're intended to be project focused where we make sure you guys are aware of all

76
00:04:13,610 --> 00:04:19,410
the work we're doing in the county and then make sure we have you know understand your priorities

77
00:04:19,410 --> 00:04:24,810
as it relates to these projects that we have that we're currently working on, ones that we

78
00:04:24,810 --> 00:04:30,430
have coming up. Some of these are higher than higher priorities than others. We have projects

79
00:04:30,430 --> 00:04:34,790
identified there are no longer a priority to the county and then also at the end of the

80
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:39,310
presentation as always make sure we hear from you guys the priorities that we don't have

81
00:04:39,310 --> 00:04:41,510
yet or we don't have projects yet identified.

82
00:04:42,430 --> 00:04:46,830
And I do want to apologize to you. We also have two other individuals online from CDOT.

83
00:04:47,090 --> 00:04:50,150
So if you all like to introduce yourselves, please as well, apologize.

84
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:54,660
Through you.

85
00:04:54,660 --> 00:04:58,440
project with Google the Region 5 local agency engineer.

86
00:05:05,580 --> 00:05:09,940
I'm Jennifer Allison and the Region 5 Traffic Safety Program Engineer.

87
00:05:10,860 --> 00:05:12,380
Great, thank you, welcome.

88
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:23,000
The process that we have, we take a long range view first and then try to narrow it down to the projects

89
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,540
we're actually working on. So this last year, C-Dod, working with all the transportation planning

90
00:05:29,540 --> 00:05:35,620
regions, where Commissioner Selkha represents the county, where we finalized our the south

91
00:05:35,620 --> 00:05:41,700
west, transportation planning regions, long range plant. So that's the 25 year plan, basically

92
00:05:41,700 --> 00:05:48,140
kind of all the projects that we would like to see done between now at 2050. We take that really,

93
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:52,760
really long list of projects that we can't, we don't have funding for the state legislature

94
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:58,360
or census side funding for strategic projects that are fiscal even strained. So we have

95
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:04,060
a 10-year plan list of projects that is funded kind of the subset from that longer list.

96
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:10,420
And then those projects plus all of the other types of projects we're currently working on

97
00:06:10,420 --> 00:06:16,560
in the next 40 years are on our four-year step, our statewide transportation program.

98
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:22,760
So that includes those strategic program projects, it also includes all of our asset projects that we'll get to.

99
00:06:23,420 --> 00:06:32,080
So again, starting with the long range plan projects, the first one we want to bring up is the 160 corridor RITS project.

100
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,020
So this would kind of basically be a fiber out to climb between Wolf Creek and Durango.

101
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:41,600
You know, there's a segment between Wolf Creek to Bergosa that was funded.

102
00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:44,060
Construction is kind of stall about due to litigation.

103
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:53,380
this project was previously on the 10-year plan. It's not now because in the five years from

104
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:58,000
when we, I guess, actually seven years from when we did the last 10-year plan, there's now been a

105
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,580
lot of other broadband that's come into our area locally, right? So there's kind of build that gap

106
00:07:04,580 --> 00:07:09,560
where it's not maybe thought we had a bigger role in a plan than we do. Real quick,

107
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:13,720
Tim,

108
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,120
we are working with region nine as well as arch-related counting to get agreements in price.

109
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,800
Yeah, that's nice to that, but I can't disclose too much, but it's looking promising for

110
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,980
region nine too as well for potential funding.

111
00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:30,580
Yeah, it was aware that there was some efforts going.

112
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:31,620
Awesome.

113
00:07:33,180 --> 00:07:36,140
Okay, the next one is would be a huge project.

114
00:07:36,460 --> 00:07:42,780
It would basically take 550 south of Durango and continue the four lane segment from where

115
00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:44,700
we left off with the project we just finished,

116
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:47,000
County Road 302, and take it down

117
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,880
at the sunny side elementary area,

118
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,860
that would be about $100 million project.

119
00:07:52,660 --> 00:07:54,800
It's like I said, it's not currently funded.

120
00:07:55,500 --> 00:07:57,020
Some of the projects, the higher part,

121
00:07:57,140 --> 00:08:00,260
it was kind of decided that 160 corridor to Bayfield

122
00:08:00,260 --> 00:08:01,780
was at this time of higher priority.

123
00:08:01,980 --> 00:08:04,380
So that's those are the projects that are in the tank of your plan.

124
00:08:04,780 --> 00:08:06,180
But it is still in the list.

125
00:08:06,740 --> 00:08:08,980
And being on this list, especially the priority list

126
00:08:08,980 --> 00:08:12,820
that helps all of these projects for potential grant funding.

127
00:08:13,540 --> 00:08:16,180
Tim before I start furiously writing stuff down,

128
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,840
will we have access to these slides?

129
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,020
Yes, thank you very much.

130
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:21,260
Yeah, I made me a lot of handy.

131
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:24,480
And one other thing is any action item that we identify today,

132
00:08:24,540 --> 00:08:28,980
Linda's taking notes, we will make sure we get that one in down.

133
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,720
And we'll get a letter back to you guys.

134
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:32,840
It's the things that we can't address today.

135
00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:33,980
We'll find the interest to it.

136
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,980
You can't follow that way.

137
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,040
A couple more long-range projects, these are some projects that were brought forward by the city of Durango.

138
00:08:42,460 --> 00:08:45,980
The first one is the communal crossing that I'm sure you guys are aware of.

139
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,440
At the time, it was identified as about a nine and a half million dollar project.

140
00:08:51,540 --> 00:08:53,740
The city's got funding for design.

141
00:08:54,580 --> 00:08:56,180
It was looking for grant funding for construction.

142
00:08:56,500 --> 00:08:57,600
I think you guys are aware.

143
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:05,000
Another one would be to get a multimodal path from Durango up to the twin mut area.

144
00:09:05,860 --> 00:09:09,980
So that would be about a $6 million project also, currently a funded.

145
00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:17,180
And then the last kind of highway project in the long range plan, this would be the airport

146
00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:17,840
intersection.

147
00:09:19,940 --> 00:09:24,760
As you guys can tell, looking at the photo, you know, we've already added, you know, we've

148
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,560
got turn lanes in.

149
00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:31,260
We've got turn lanes out from both directions, you know, probably this would have to be

150
00:09:31,260 --> 00:09:36,980
be a relocation of this intersection, but yeah, so that would be a big project, probably requires

151
00:09:36,980 --> 00:09:44,340
the property takes things along. Is there other property owners just not willing to negotiate

152
00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:51,740
or we we started having conversations cash back in 2017 when I first became traffic engineer

153
00:09:51,740 --> 00:09:58,860
with CDOT. I think the property owners were willing to talk to us. It was mostly coming down to funding

154
00:09:58,860 --> 00:09:59,880
And...

155
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,900
And because this is an intersectional movement, and the need is really the growth that's happening out of the airport.

156
00:10:06,660 --> 00:10:17,340
See that has a hard time coming in and doing the whole project or self, unless we have crash statistics and crash data, saying we could put crash funding towards it, or safety funding towards it, and right now we don't.

157
00:10:17,620 --> 00:10:25,600
We probably have a lot of near misses, but unfortunately our safety data doesn't, our safety funding requires the crashes to actually be happening, it's kind of us.

158
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:32,600
backwards way, but that's how our funding is set up. So having it on the long-range plan,

159
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:38,240
if grants become available, if it gets elevated to a future tenure plan or with a new governor

160
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,440
come again, whether we continue to call it a tenure plan or if we have another big strategic product

161
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,240
projects, if it elevates into that, that's going to be the best way to get it funding for us to

162
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,700
be able to start revisiting or if the airport, the county in the city want to come to the table

163
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,180
and trying to help fund the project too,

164
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,080
we definitely figure out ways we could work together

165
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:58,840
to make it happen.

166
00:10:59,860 --> 00:11:01,220
I do have to say though,

167
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,280
these improvements that have been made,

168
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,920
that's been much better because it was,

169
00:11:06,060 --> 00:11:08,200
I do remember when it didn't have those turn lanes,

170
00:11:08,820 --> 00:11:10,220
that there's much, there's a lot of it.

171
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,580
Exactly, so those turning lanes have definitely helped.

172
00:11:14,060 --> 00:11:15,080
But there is a lot more traffic

173
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,740
I mean, I flew through at a time last year

174
00:11:16,740 --> 00:11:18,420
when I was going to Denver a lot.

175
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:19,900
I've seen it in Delta.

176
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,460
One of the fastest car in your ports

177
00:11:22,460 --> 00:11:23,900
and North America actually.

178
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:24,640
Oh, wow, yeah.

179
00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:27,120
I was like, 11% cut off.

180
00:11:27,340 --> 00:11:28,820
I was really rapidly growing.

181
00:11:29,180 --> 00:11:29,500
Surprise.

182
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:31,240
Well, just with a number of flights and frequency,

183
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,860
they often run now so many people

184
00:11:32,860 --> 00:11:35,160
of here can bite a number and back in a day

185
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,220
and not have to make that drive.

186
00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:39,080
Do whatever you need to do in Denver.

187
00:11:39,460 --> 00:11:40,640
This is too round about.

188
00:11:42,660 --> 00:11:44,020
Do we not have a brand like that?

189
00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:44,960
We're kind of surrounded by them.

190
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:46,420
It's got to be one of the past.

191
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,920
All right, the next one is some transit projects

192
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:58,140
any take this slide? Yes, there are three transit projects on the long-range plan. All of these are

193
00:11:58,140 --> 00:12:03,240
unfunded. We worked with the vision on transit and rail to help estimate the potential cost of these,

194
00:12:03,380 --> 00:12:07,160
just fear or awareness, so the first one is the essential bus service between Durango and

195
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,760
enough Creek. That's just looking at Oklahoma one day, excuse me, one round trip per day,

196
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:17,860
as well as thinking about the vehicles that would go with it. The next one's looking

197
00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:23,860
specifically at Thurango and the Zone 7 Transit expansion, just looking at how could we expand

198
00:12:23,860 --> 00:12:29,360
transit from the city and women's to the surrounding neighborhoods here in Thurango,

199
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,680
that would cost a little bit more 8 million and then lastly looking at the during transit bus

200
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:41,220
bar in electric education and looking at how could we upgrade our facilities in lieu of the increase

201
00:12:41,220 --> 00:12:44,540
of electrification that we're seeing so that's about six million dollars.

202
00:12:48,970 --> 00:12:50,090
So those were all the

203
00:12:50,090 --> 00:12:55,690
projects on the priority list, and there's 25 of those projects in the Southwest region.

204
00:12:58,110 --> 00:13:04,690
We wanted though, because that list is not the overall 25-year plan, it's not physically

205
00:13:04,690 --> 00:13:11,770
constrained, and because being on these lists can't help counties, municipalities, go after

206
00:13:11,770 --> 00:13:19,530
ramp funding. We've kind of opened it up to everybody's in our what are all the other needs in, you know, we'd like to see in the next 25 years.

207
00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:23,790
So these are the other projects that are on what we call the long list.

208
00:13:24,570 --> 00:13:29,750
Most of these basically all of these on the left are transit type projects.

209
00:13:30,890 --> 00:13:40,770
So expanding the transit center, making all the transit stops for ADA accessible, potentially installing some

210
00:13:41,630 --> 00:13:46,810
technology with lights where transit would get priority of the trial here, bus

211
00:13:46,810 --> 00:13:47,890
dang bus, whatever.

212
00:13:50,110 --> 00:13:54,890
And then, you know, city of Draingo is going to need to expand or place some

213
00:13:54,890 --> 00:13:56,770
of its fleet coming up.

214
00:13:57,990 --> 00:14:02,950
And then, lastly, kind of a bus, this would probably have to be a bus dang

215
00:14:02,950 --> 00:14:06,130
route, but to try to get a bus dang route from Draingo to Denver.

216
00:14:07,450 --> 00:14:09,870
And then the project was on the right to give most of these were brought forward by

217
00:14:09,870 --> 00:14:15,950
city of Durango. A lot of these are multi-modal type projects. Try to get more pedestrian

218
00:14:15,950 --> 00:14:23,730
crossings on North Maine. To try to install some intersection pedestrian detectors, so that

219
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,920
And people will be at the intersection, just don't realize there's, but they have to push,

220
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,200
some wildlife

221
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:12,540
sign, detection signs between Durango and Bayfield. We previously attempted this, but my understanding

222
00:15:12,540 --> 00:15:19,860
is the technology's got a little better on those. Some adaptive signal controls, so that would

223
00:15:19,860 --> 00:15:27,120
kind of allow lights to line up better with real-time data. Emergency vehicle, getting signal priorities,

224
00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:34,600
and then other ones kind of in the outside of Durango to get a parking ride and they feel.

225
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,400
We know there's a lot of obviously commuter traffic coming from Bayfield to Durango.

226
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,120
There's a parking ride a half way, but it also could get one out there.

227
00:15:46,060 --> 00:15:52,340
And then also taking the taking 50 from sunny side elementary, four lanes all the way south to where it is four lanes.

228
00:15:52,340 --> 00:15:59,260
again, just above the state line. Improving the intersection, this would be just east of

229
00:15:59,260 --> 00:16:06,300
Ignacio, a buck highway and a Colorado 151, and then lastly, getting some truck parking

230
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:11,900
between Drankham and Bayfield. We're always here from the truck and community, from the

231
00:16:11,900 --> 00:16:13,360
freight community, about parking.

232
00:16:15,380 --> 00:16:19,880
Can you go back to the slide?

233
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:30,020
So, is it that the, I'm wondering about Dry Creek on 162 Bayfield?

234
00:16:30,660 --> 00:16:32,440
That's on your next slide.

235
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:33,240
Okay.

236
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,380
I think the very next slide.

237
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:34,840
All right.

238
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,300
So this is to, yeah, 50.

239
00:16:38,460 --> 00:16:38,520
All right.

240
00:16:38,940 --> 00:16:42,540
And then I think just in terms of priorities.

241
00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:45,820
I think those were the ones I had hoped for.

242
00:16:45,860 --> 00:16:51,440
Whatever happened to this is past job, the bypass around Gem Village.

243
00:16:54,110 --> 00:16:55,450
That was forever ago.

244
00:16:55,690 --> 00:16:55,890
Yeah.

245
00:16:56,490 --> 00:16:57,510
That's in the EIS.

246
00:16:57,890 --> 00:16:58,190
Okay.

247
00:16:58,190 --> 00:16:58,510
Okay.

248
00:16:58,590 --> 00:16:59,830
It was the preferred alternative.

249
00:17:00,370 --> 00:17:03,310
We had a document that was signed in 2006.

250
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:07,210
It's a benefit on your GIS.

251
00:17:07,690 --> 00:17:11,850
So when we work with developers looking to build in that area,

252
00:17:11,850 --> 00:17:14,070
we let them know that way there's a potential alignment.

253
00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:17,230
And we can't stop them from developing.

254
00:17:18,310 --> 00:17:22,670
Most of them are willing to work with us to figure out

255
00:17:22,670 --> 00:17:24,610
where to build to that we don't have to reload.

256
00:17:25,770 --> 00:17:26,950
So it's in the budget for this.

257
00:17:26,970 --> 00:17:27,610
It is.

258
00:17:27,930 --> 00:17:30,910
It wasn't identified as a priority in this last round

259
00:17:30,910 --> 00:17:32,830
of the long-range plan update.

260
00:17:33,810 --> 00:17:37,710
It would be up to the county and maybe city

261
00:17:38,450 --> 00:17:44,390
people to end or go to identify as a priority and then we can start developing

262
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:52,210
potential funding sources that I'm not imposing that whatsoever I was just curious.

263
00:17:52,230 --> 00:17:59,550
That EIS in the ride really basically secure the fact that it's there on the shelf and

264
00:17:59,550 --> 00:18:02,710
we as funding becomes available for huge projects.

265
00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:10,910
And it's not necessarily set in stone, like Tim will talk about the U.S. 1, 6D, Elmore's project.

266
00:18:11,730 --> 00:18:16,610
That is actually not the alignment that the alternative that was selected as the preferred,

267
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:19,150
the modification of that alternative.

268
00:18:20,150 --> 00:18:22,770
And basically it was modified to avoid property extensions.

269
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:27,170
So we have simplified that design to avoid property takes.

270
00:18:27,170 --> 00:18:38,250
It still gets the safety benefit, and hopefully the congestion relief that we were looking for in the EIS, but we're simplifying it.

271
00:18:38,410 --> 00:18:45,910
We're not doing as much access control as we originally wanted, but hopefully we'll still be addressing the accident rates on that section road.

272
00:18:46,330 --> 00:18:46,910
Thank you.

273
00:18:47,410 --> 00:18:49,550
Simple question in here, apologies.

274
00:18:50,670 --> 00:18:51,290
It's my first meeting.

275
00:18:52,250 --> 00:18:57,530
truck parking between Durango and Bayfield. Is this so that trucks can safely overnight?

276
00:18:58,990 --> 00:19:06,550
Yeah, it's like been the trucks. This isn't like a park and ride into town. This is just a safety poll

277
00:19:06,550 --> 00:19:13,610
over. And I ask because I live, you know, one just off of 160 and you see a lot of semi's

278
00:19:13,610 --> 00:19:19,370
pull right off before my home and they overnight there and I'm wondering is that what this is trying to

279
00:19:19,370 --> 00:19:20,290
if you didn't exactly.

280
00:19:20,830 --> 00:19:22,290
So they like trying to clog any system

281
00:19:22,290 --> 00:19:24,650
that the truckers have to use now with their CDLs.

282
00:19:24,850 --> 00:19:27,230
Basically, it requires them if they hit that point,

283
00:19:27,330 --> 00:19:30,110
paying you to find a spot to pull over as possible.

284
00:19:30,750 --> 00:19:32,330
Truckers that drive our highways a lot,

285
00:19:32,530 --> 00:19:33,630
know where there's wide spots,

286
00:19:33,650 --> 00:19:35,470
because we don't have a bunch of like,

287
00:19:35,470 --> 00:19:38,170
truck stops down here for people to actually pull into.

288
00:19:39,150 --> 00:19:40,410
So they use those.

289
00:19:40,410 --> 00:19:43,750
So any place we can, you know, the concept is

290
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:45,650
continuing to identify locations like that,

291
00:19:45,670 --> 00:19:48,130
but make it safer for them to be fully off the highway,

292
00:19:48,130 --> 00:19:52,190
non-feeding traffic. There's only with some weights but like it's fine.

293
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:55,970
Why the stuff up? Okay that's it. Thank you. You've seen like at the

294
00:19:55,970 --> 00:19:59,970
gas stations in Bayfield and as well as right after.

295
00:20:02,060 --> 00:20:07,760
There's a pre-significant pull-off at the top of his first hill that has a lot of over there, traffic, too.

296
00:20:08,180 --> 00:20:14,860
Our maintenance, guys, is to be really careful about disturbing any area off of the pavement because it will get used.

297
00:20:15,300 --> 00:20:18,280
We don't have to start expanding the zoning, so big parking lot right there.

298
00:20:19,340 --> 00:20:20,940
That's a social trail for trucks.

299
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:23,700
Oh, that's a good way to think about it.

300
00:20:27,660 --> 00:20:38,420
So next is the 10 year plan project. So these are the projects like we said the 25 year list is not physically constrained. The 10 year plan list is

301
00:20:38,420 --> 00:20:46,020
Headquarters divides up the strategic funds across the five regions and basically told region five okay here's which you guys have got for the next 10 years.

302
00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:49,740
How do you you know how do you think this should best be spent.

303
00:20:49,740 --> 00:20:57,880
The top project on that list is the Elmore's next project, which you guys are pretty well aware of, I believe.

304
00:20:58,540 --> 00:21:04,990
I think Tony did bring up a good point that that is modified from the EIS buildout.

305
00:21:05,820 --> 00:21:08,520
It's still $122 million, right?

306
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:13,100
So to do that, EIS buildout in addition to a lot of property takes.

307
00:21:13,100 --> 00:21:18,340
would just be, you know, to get a divided highway with, with front and roads all the way from

308
00:21:18,340 --> 00:21:22,220
to the other side of the Bayfield, we're just not finding that that's going to have an

309
00:21:22,220 --> 00:21:27,440
MRP cost effective, we think we can try to address the same issues, adds capacity,

310
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:34,760
add safety with a smaller footprint. So this is what this project is intended to do. So it would

311
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,460
be 5 lanes from L-Mores to the bridge, so we'd have 2 lanes on each side plus a center

312
00:21:39,460 --> 00:21:46,820
turn lane and then we'd be repeating, adding and replacing the bridge over the flurry to river

313
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:57,520
and then have alternating pass lanes from there to the dry creep area. The next project

314
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,840
then the kind of DevTell is into that is the dry creep passing lane and intersection improvements

315
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,040
so that's the intersection, you know, they're to the gun range which is at a brilliant

316
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,860
that skewed, we want to turn that into a T, and then also a lot for some more passing

317
00:22:11,860 --> 00:22:12,820
through there.

318
00:22:13,780 --> 00:22:14,860
This one is kind of unique.

319
00:22:15,060 --> 00:22:18,560
It's the only 10-year plan project we have on our list that we actually don't have

320
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,640
fun set aside for, but we are hoping because we're taking the same approach with DelMores

321
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,200
that we did to the connection project.

322
00:22:25,460 --> 00:22:31,940
So with the connection project, we, you know, these are designed bid projects.

323
00:22:31,940 --> 00:22:39,400
we typically do, it's called design bid, and then build. With the design build project, we put it out for

324
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:45,740
a bid for both at the beginning. We set aside a budget and try to give, as opposed to our

325
00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:50,840
normal process where we say, these are the plans, please give us the best price. We kind of say,

326
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,960
this is the price, please give us the best scope or the most scope that you can. We do give them a

327
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,680
configure Asia, what we need them to build within that budget, but anything they can do

328
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,940
above and beyond that are they bring different alternatives to the table that's still meeting

329
00:23:05,940 --> 00:23:10,760
the needs of the project, which allows us to have those conversations and consider health.

330
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,680
Does that kind of proposal tend to bring in different kinds of contractors?

331
00:23:15,180 --> 00:23:17,780
Yeah, bigger ones. There are a lot of customers. Yeah.

332
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,880
So when we did the connection out there at three springs, initially we were only got to go

333
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:28,760
County Road to 20 with the white and tight reportion. By doing the design build process, the

334
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,820
contractor learns construction that won the bid, they were able to take that for a lane,

335
00:23:33,220 --> 00:23:38,260
much further south than what we thought we'd be able to do with our current budget. So that's

336
00:23:38,260 --> 00:23:43,880
been some of the wins we've seen before, so we're hopeful. Maybe we get some dry grief work out of

337
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:51,380
this, too, on top of whitening the highway. How's the crash data there? Are we able to pull funds

338
00:23:51,380 --> 00:23:55,440
from excessive crashes there. It is a dangerous business.

339
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,580
Yeah, I don't know off the top of my head, Jen. If Jen knows.

340
00:23:59,660 --> 00:24:03,180
I don't know. There's nothing. Maybe this is something we can apply towards.

341
00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:09,440
And then I understand from my understanding as that county staff have been just

342
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,220
pre discussions. So Dwayne has had a conversation with us for sure.

343
00:24:13,420 --> 00:24:17,640
If there's a way the county might be able to use some of the funding you guys are receiving to

344
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,680
So where that's out right now, sorry Tim.

345
00:24:20,940 --> 00:24:21,300
No, please.

346
00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:24,640
We're in the process of having one-on-one confidential

347
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,880
meetings with three different contracting engineering teams.

348
00:24:29,020 --> 00:24:31,140
We have to send out our revised proposal.

349
00:24:31,220 --> 00:24:34,980
I think I'm Friday of this week for their review.

350
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:38,420
And then this fall will be narrowing down

351
00:24:38,420 --> 00:24:40,900
and selecting a prime contractor.

352
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,380
And I do know one of those three teams has rose

353
00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:49,340
a little bit of doing somewhere, get that right through the intersection. So we'll be able to talk more

354
00:24:49,340 --> 00:24:56,200
about the way in the county. Once we have our selected firm on board and our out of this

355
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,280
an actual face. Thank you.

356
00:24:59,440 --> 00:24:59,960
The other thing.

357
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:16,160
Not just a Zellworth project, but any other projects that we're working on in the 10-year plan where we get project savings, we usually try to keep those on 10-year plan projects, so we could potentially use some project savings to other projects towards the German Creek budget, also.

358
00:25:19,380 --> 00:25:27,700
And that was something we kind of had asked for a special treatment from headquarters to allow us to put an unfunded project on the 10-year plan. They understood the rationale.

359
00:25:28,820 --> 00:25:33,380
Another one that's mostly unfunded that's on the 10-year plan, is the replacement of the

360
00:25:33,380 --> 00:25:38,760
Amish River, the Amish River Bridge, by 50, just north of New Mexico.

361
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,620
This would be about a $60 million project.

362
00:25:42,980 --> 00:25:49,560
We put like a $1 million kind of placeholder towards this project and we've been in discussions

363
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:55,800
with this other Union D tribe about they have some access to some current funds of tribal

364
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:02,120
bridge program funding that sea dot or the county typically would not have access to and they

365
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:07,780
sound a jable to working with sea dot to apply for funding that way. So we're hoping to

366
00:26:07,780 --> 00:26:14,520
that'll be kind of our plan A to get this funded. What is the status of the bridge like

367
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:20,380
does it get rated or graded and what's the what's the what's the grade? Yeah and Kevin you

368
00:26:20,380 --> 00:26:27,380
I believe it's currently fair, it's fair, we have concerns with it, but I believe the current rating is fair.

369
00:26:27,820 --> 00:26:30,680
But unfortunately, it's still rated as fair.

370
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,620
I keep hoping it can go to four and that gives us better leverage.

371
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,780
But it gets us back that every two years.

372
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,380
It's just kind of expected this year.

373
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,060
It didn't get any change on the structure itself.

374
00:26:43,180 --> 00:26:47,920
But we're monitoring it and hopefully we'll stay in place for now.

375
00:26:51,530 --> 00:26:58,530
It's poor, we are eligible for funds from bridge enterprise programs, so retail delivery fees,

376
00:26:58,550 --> 00:27:03,830
things like that, a lot of that money goes to see that's bridge and tunnel enterprise,

377
00:27:04,350 --> 00:27:08,670
and then that's money that goes specifically to these poor bridges, so they can support

378
00:27:08,670 --> 00:27:19,490
the freight traffic. But this one is still fair, so we're trying to look at other ways to get it

379
00:27:19,490 --> 00:27:24,130
last one. Yeah, so we have Project 2, 4397 and this is the Durango Transit Capital

380
00:27:24,130 --> 00:27:27,790
Improvements. So this is a project that we carried over from our last 10-year

381
00:27:27,790 --> 00:27:32,270
plan. See that Region 5 is actually delivering it through a local agency program. So

382
00:27:32,270 --> 00:27:37,490
for just Google who's on is the Project Manager for seed out on it. This project is looking to

383
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:43,830
improve the transit bus stops on North Maine, between 14th Street and Animus View Drive.

384
00:27:44,010 --> 00:27:48,710
This project is currently in design one unique thing about this project.

385
00:27:48,710 --> 00:27:51,310
is actually a lot of right away, which are local agency,

386
00:27:51,570 --> 00:27:53,170
program doesn't see a ton of them.

387
00:27:53,730 --> 00:27:55,310
So SCH, they're designed consultant

388
00:27:55,310 --> 00:27:57,170
is working property on us on that,

389
00:27:57,170 --> 00:27:58,630
and we're moving through those spaces,

390
00:27:59,110 --> 00:28:01,950
and then we're expecting construction next year.

391
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,340
And I'll let you take this one too, Amy.

392
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:07,880
Awesome.

393
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:10,220
So the next one, this is another project

394
00:28:10,220 --> 00:28:12,300
that we carried over from our last 10-year plan.

395
00:28:12,340 --> 00:28:15,420
This is bus service between Pegosus Springs and Durango.

396
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,460
Originally, like seven years ago or so,

397
00:28:18,460 --> 00:28:20,800
This was envisioned as a fusting route,

398
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,200
but we've heard from division of transit and railing

399
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,080
of the purpose of bushing as to connect

400
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,360
to rural areas to more large municipalities

401
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:31,000
and urban centers, and this would make more senses

402
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,660
around that would be provided by our local operators.

403
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:36,420
So we've had multiple conversations

404
00:28:36,420 --> 00:28:38,360
with both mountain express transit.

405
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,020
That's Archoleta County's Transit Agency,

406
00:28:41,020 --> 00:28:45,440
as well as roadrunners, Coca, to see which operator

407
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,840
would make the most sense to operate this route

408
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,280
those conversations are still happening, but we'll make sure we get the buy-in from our

409
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:57,720
local transit agencies and here in their thoughts and insights and how we can make this route

410
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:02,920
sort of our area. The best in so this would provide daily service between Pogo's

411
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:10,180
Springs and Durango as we see that as a high transit need. Do we have any kind of percentage of what

412
00:29:10,180 --> 00:29:16,580
um traffic reduction, car reduction, vehicle reduction that would mean you know that's a great

413
00:29:16,580 --> 00:29:18,360
like would we reduce, you know,

414
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,420
who goes to Dorengo by 10% or something like that?

415
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,980
Yeah, I think that would be,

416
00:29:22,980 --> 00:29:25,140
I think that's something division of transatlant rails

417
00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:27,120
working on just across the state of, you know,

418
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,720
how can the increase of traffic

419
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,300
see your reduction of vehicles?

420
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,980
And so I can, we might have that number.

421
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,140
Yeah, we'll have to be talking about.

422
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,060
They have to have a fun noise on the grid.

423
00:29:40,340 --> 00:29:40,780
Yeah.

424
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:41,360
No, no, no, no, no, no.

425
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,080
I think that's another out at the Riovento wheel,

426
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:43,760
I'm sure you see that.

427
00:29:43,900 --> 00:29:45,880
I guess it depends on whether they've predicted

428
00:29:46,460 --> 00:29:46,900
ridership.

429
00:29:47,020 --> 00:29:47,280
Right.

430
00:29:47,900 --> 00:29:52,220
Yeah, but it's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's interesting also in the makeup of what the predicted

431
00:29:52,220 --> 00:29:57,400
ridership would be is that predominantly tourists who are like staying in one area and one of

432
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,960
visit the other one for the day or is it?

433
00:30:18,620 --> 00:30:29,980
So all the projects we brought up so far, those are our strategic projects, kind of above and I guess kind

434
00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:34,320
or above and beyond our current state of repair project.

435
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,980
So I were most of the projects we work on

436
00:30:37,980 --> 00:30:40,120
in the Southwest part of the state

437
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,340
are through our asset management program.

438
00:30:43,060 --> 00:30:45,500
So C. Scott, and that's basically everything

439
00:30:45,500 --> 00:30:46,140
that we have.

440
00:30:46,300 --> 00:30:48,620
Biggest asset is the surface of our highways,

441
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,840
but obviously all our bridges, walls, tunnels,

442
00:30:53,580 --> 00:30:54,540
traffic signals,

443
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:03,840
GIO hazards, all of these things are assets, and we have four meal of funds that go to each asset type.

444
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:14,400
Those are typically managed at headquarters, and then each region then gets a portion of those dollars, specific dollar type,

445
00:31:14,420 --> 00:31:18,260
to each asset for these projects specific to the asset types.

446
00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:24,460
So, next we'll be some of the asset type projects we're working on.

447
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:29,780
What is currently under construction is the high bridge to Elmore's surface treatment project.

448
00:31:31,580 --> 00:31:34,500
So, you guys would trim it through this corridor many times.

449
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,640
I'm sure, so we're doing a surface treatment, we're placing the guardrail to make pavement markings.

450
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,420
It's about a $20 million project under construction,

451
00:31:43,540 --> 00:31:48,140
fall of 2026. As you guys have seen, we're the most of the work at night to try to

452
00:31:48,140 --> 00:31:55,080
limit disruptions to traffic. And we took away the bump. So as you go up in the

453
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,280
ramps, there's your reddit to the roundabout from town. We just got that done recently

454
00:31:59,820 --> 00:32:05,780
to open that right sooner and soon. It was like a dukes of hazard ramp. That one was

455
00:32:05,780 --> 00:32:09,420
not nearly as bad as the one on the bridge when we took the bridge.

456
00:32:09,420 --> 00:32:10,420
I don't know.

457
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,040
So we got it.

458
00:32:15,140 --> 00:32:17,000
I seem to be going really well.

459
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,480
I haven't been there for like two weeks when I went out there.

460
00:32:19,580 --> 00:32:21,600
I'm like, wait, you guys got so much done.

461
00:32:22,460 --> 00:32:23,600
So, yeah, you're really good.

462
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:24,960
Great work on the night.

463
00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:26,000
The next stuff.

464
00:32:26,820 --> 00:32:28,520
I know a lot of people appreciate that.

465
00:32:28,780 --> 00:32:29,860
Especially myself too.

466
00:32:30,020 --> 00:32:30,420
I can help.

467
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,540
We're going in the day with a mountain track.

468
00:32:33,740 --> 00:32:34,660
We have another area.

469
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:35,320
Not to mention.

470
00:32:35,820 --> 00:32:37,600
Also, heat of summer laying asphalt.

471
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,640
I'm going to ensure that people who are on the ground lay in the actual asphalt are properly

472
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,380
pretty pleased about cooler temperatures as well.

473
00:32:46,180 --> 00:32:47,880
How much of an increase was that?

474
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,120
I'm doing it from day to night.

475
00:32:50,260 --> 00:32:52,480
I don't know if we actually have numbers for that.

476
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:53,700
Kevin, do you have an idea?

477
00:32:54,540 --> 00:32:58,580
I don't know that it affects the price of asphalt that much.

478
00:32:58,780 --> 00:33:00,980
We do have a pay item in there for lighting.

479
00:33:00,980 --> 00:33:09,880
So that the contractor team, but I don't think, I don't think I can put a number on it at this point.

480
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,060
Definitely not significant enough for us to have it be like a budgister rate.

481
00:33:15,140 --> 00:33:20,360
When we did 160 between Bayfield and Rango as the same thing, we did a night job through there too,

482
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,700
just with the volume of traffic, and it was a huge success.

483
00:33:23,380 --> 00:33:29,000
We knew after that project that we can continue to pull these off, we can't do more than about one a year.

484
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:34,560
Just because the contractors only have access to so many nights that they can have their plants running,

485
00:33:34,660 --> 00:33:36,940
you know, codes that they have in the local agencies.

486
00:33:38,340 --> 00:33:42,660
So, which, you know, it's always that balance of what the line between all of our projects.

487
00:33:46,010 --> 00:33:46,070
Hmm.

488
00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:47,290
What codes are regulating?

489
00:33:47,910 --> 00:33:54,590
Apparently, the Plata County codes that oversee, I think it's the Plata County codes that oversee the asphalt plants

490
00:33:54,590 --> 00:34:01,510
or tired of the, have limits on how many nights a year that they can actually run their plants.

491
00:34:01,570 --> 00:34:05,930
So the neighbor concerns how did we, and it wouldn't surprise me if it comes down to their

492
00:34:05,930 --> 00:34:09,990
land development approval code and be an all process that they have to go through to have their

493
00:34:09,990 --> 00:34:14,570
plants place for their place. But I've never dug into your codes, that's just what the contractors

494
00:34:14,570 --> 00:34:19,770
have told us. But you do, you don't have more than a need for more than one of these a year.

495
00:34:19,770 --> 00:34:22,970
Yeah, but it's just curious for education purposes.

496
00:34:23,350 --> 00:34:24,210
Yeah, just a little bit.

497
00:34:24,210 --> 00:34:25,450
We don't have to look at each agreement.

498
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,740
All right, another asset in our region that

499
00:34:32,740 --> 00:34:34,540
needs a lot of work are all of our culverts.

500
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,660
A lot of these culverts are kind of reaching the end of their

501
00:34:39,660 --> 00:34:42,300
expected lifespans, and we're trying to do a lot of things to

502
00:34:44,240 --> 00:34:47,260
extend the life, and then if they've gotten too so bad,

503
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,980
we just have to replace them.

504
00:34:48,980 --> 00:34:59,740
Every fiscal year unspend federal funds get redistributed amongst all the states and this is with the

505
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,420
See, at the side, they were going to use that federal redistribution money for culverts. So that's what

506
00:35:06,420 --> 00:35:12,200
funded this project, where we've got several governments that we have. There's a lot of them are

507
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:21,840
in La Pada County. One of them, I guess near Interimosa, on 550, it was a corporate placement. We've

508
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:30,040
several in the reservation. One of them on 151 we've done, the one on 550 we've done. We've

509
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:37,620
got another one on 151 and two of them on 172 that we're gonna come back and get this fall. This is a

510
00:35:37,620 --> 00:35:44,620
13 and a half million dollar project originally. Roughly how long is the lifespan of one of

511
00:35:44,620 --> 00:35:50,120
the culprits? I think a lot of there's a lot of variables depending on where they're at,

512
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:55,700
how corrosive the water is, things like that. And then we are now, a lot of times try to replace

513
00:35:55,700 --> 00:36:02,100
our old corrugated metal pipes with reinforced concrete pipes, which we think was last longer.

514
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,740
But Kevin, do you know that the base, like kind of CMA, the 50-year-old?

515
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:14,300
Oh, a lot of those culverts were from the original highway construction in the 30s and 40s.

516
00:36:14,300 --> 00:36:21,320
They have way out live their lifespan and hopefully by us getting either rehab treatments

517
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,340
or replacements from US another 40 years.

518
00:36:25,460 --> 00:36:26,820
Good Kevin, not the top of your head.

519
00:36:26,980 --> 00:36:32,000
Do you know how many culverts we have in Region 5 that we like major culverts?

520
00:36:33,580 --> 00:36:41,920
Well, when we submitted our list to headquarters for that error redistribution funds, we have

521
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:53,000
Over 1,300 culverts in the region, we submitted a list of 9,100 culverts that needed attention, and we're not going to be able to get more than 50 or 60 with this project.

522
00:36:54,160 --> 00:37:00,240
In general, how much do we get a year in for culvert projects outside of these redistribution funds?

523
00:37:00,620 --> 00:37:05,580
Our asset management system gives us about $2 million a year.

524
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:13,840
So, there's a reason why we're often in reacting to COVID issues, because we just don't get enough money.

525
00:37:14,020 --> 00:37:17,240
So it's going to go in and get in front of the problems.

526
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,380
Is there a problem of money that once a COVID is failed?

527
00:37:20,980 --> 00:37:22,320
It becomes immediately accessible.

528
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,680
There is a burnt transportation commission contingency dollars.

529
00:37:26,140 --> 00:37:26,380
Okay.

530
00:37:26,380 --> 00:37:32,580
No, on Highway 17, between, oh, trauma and...

531
00:37:32,580 --> 00:37:35,900
And that's for you, Harvey.

532
00:37:36,820 --> 00:37:37,840
Yeah, two summers ago.

533
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:45,200
We had two culverts go, and we were able to quickly access those emergency funds to jump in and take out those projects.

534
00:37:45,740 --> 00:37:51,600
We would prefer that not to be the situation, but at least there is that pot of money that sets out there to help address those emergencies.

535
00:37:52,320 --> 00:38:01,460
That same summer region three up in the Northwest part of state also had a couple of culverts fail, so that helped bring some attention that when we got some extra dollars,

536
00:38:01,460 --> 00:38:06,980
it was we focused it in and covered. I don't know if that money's going to come around again any time

537
00:38:06,980 --> 00:38:09,520
soon, but at least we're getting as much done with it as we can, right?

538
00:38:10,940 --> 00:38:15,760
You in the situation we're in where we haven't been reimbursed for FEMA, for flood damages,

539
00:38:15,900 --> 00:38:21,280
did you have flood damages to any culverts or highways for that matter bridges that your

540
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:27,120
the state didn't get reimbursed for? Yeah, we I think we submitted but didn't get as yeah the

541
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:32,820
Trump wouldn't give us a designation. I don't think we got any dollars out of the

542
00:38:32,820 --> 00:38:36,740
out of the floods from last fall. We're okay. I'm usually a quick question on Colbert,

543
00:38:36,900 --> 00:38:40,640
so you guys, every two years didn't expect our Colbert's to grow into the can.

544
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,380
Or is your subreddit snow? You have just the bridges every two years.

545
00:38:44,900 --> 00:38:47,040
Now you're the major structures, I think.

546
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,620
Yes, sometimes for us a box call or some bridge is kind of a,

547
00:38:53,620 --> 00:38:58,100
but yeah, anything that's a major struck, classified as a major structure based on its size.

548
00:38:58,100 --> 00:39:00,080
I think the state is practicing every two years.

549
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,320
Regardless, whether it's on our system or not.

550
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:03,100
Thank you.

551
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,940
So some planned asset projects we have coming up,

552
00:39:09,300 --> 00:39:11,980
we're gonna be resurfacing Colorado, Colorado 3.

553
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,580
That's a $6 million project.

554
00:39:16,380 --> 00:39:19,900
We're gonna advertise it this fall, construction next year.

555
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:26,120
Another one is 550 from the state line north.

556
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:31,380
That's about a $20 million project that we're going to help to get about 12 miles

557
00:39:32,020 --> 00:39:35,720
resurfaced, advertising at $27 construction in 28.

558
00:39:39,430 --> 00:39:43,170
Another one is, we're going to go to the north of the Durango to rough to the rockwood area.

559
00:39:46,100 --> 00:39:52,140
That's going to be about a $17 million project we're advertising this winter and construction in 27.

560
00:39:52,140 --> 00:39:59,870
and then we receive the regenerative sleep from freight funding for installation.

561
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:15,680
All your questions in the Western Slope by basically all fall winter. It's spring and one of the things, I think, seed out her back from the free industry as part of that was, okay, if you're going to require all of this change, you've got to give us places to put the chains on.

562
00:40:17,140 --> 00:40:23,360
So we're looking at one on 160 going west, so that's heading towards like the rainbow west.

563
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:32,840
And then another one on 550 heading north, this would be near like the painted in hot springs in that area.

564
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,560
So we're going to advertise that at this winter for construction in 27.

565
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:48,120
And I think this is the last one we're looking to we've got a couple overhead irrigation structures we're looking to replace.

566
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,280
One of those is that big structure just west of Bayfield.

567
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,680
So that needs to be replaced.

568
00:40:59,060 --> 00:41:03,900
So this is a $5 million project we can to advertise this next year.

569
00:41:04,020 --> 00:41:10,060
And obviously this irrigation systems we have to do the construction when irrigation is

570
00:41:10,060 --> 00:41:10,340
off.

571
00:41:10,460 --> 00:41:15,740
So that would be the winner of $0.728 where we're going to be looking to replace that structure.

572
00:41:16,220 --> 00:41:20,880
There's water coming up from underneath the ground and the asphalt is that due to irrigation.

573
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,800
That's from the beginning of the system.

574
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,540
So it comes from the pipe down and underneath the road.

575
00:41:26,020 --> 00:41:26,460
Okay, yeah.

576
00:41:26,460 --> 00:41:27,620
It's fine to place a stick around.

577
00:41:27,940 --> 00:41:29,480
Yes, fun during the winter.

578
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,020
It's a little bit cold.

579
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,400
Like it melts a little bit.

580
00:41:33,860 --> 00:41:34,560
And okay, that's great.

581
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:38,800
And then how many times you replace that guardrail there?

582
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,880
I tell you what, you, it looks like weekly.

583
00:41:42,780 --> 00:41:44,220
It's still when it's drawn.

584
00:41:44,860 --> 00:41:45,200
It's coming.

585
00:41:47,020 --> 00:41:47,280
It's doable.

586
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:47,940
It's doable.

587
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:52,520
And the guardrail, the next one, it seems to be like

588
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,600
every other week, someone slams into one of those.

589
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:56,760
Right now, we're great.

590
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:58,060
What causes that?

591
00:41:58,060 --> 00:42:00,680
This isn't a particularly blind corner or anything.

592
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:01,200
Is it?

593
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,140
It's just people's attention.

594
00:42:03,140 --> 00:42:05,380
You can stop that.

595
00:42:05,380 --> 00:42:06,040
Bad driving.

596
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:06,980
Yep.

597
00:42:10,100 --> 00:42:10,560
Thank you.

598
00:42:10,820 --> 00:42:11,460
That'll be nice.

599
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:12,920
So every time I drive through there,

600
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,980
obviously, they need to be exactly the same thing.

601
00:42:15,260 --> 00:42:17,200
But you know, it's least it's,

602
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:18,600
obviously, it's made it there,

603
00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:20,140
since people keep running into it.

604
00:42:20,140 --> 00:42:21,500
And it's keeping people on the highway,

605
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,360
instead of going off those deep and bank months,

606
00:42:23,460 --> 00:42:24,320
because it could be worse.

607
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,240
And do you collect, so we try to do our best to be active on our ground rails when they're

608
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:33,020
struck, so if CSPs involved, you're able to then deal with the insurance carriers.

609
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:34,180
Yeah, okay.

610
00:42:34,580 --> 00:42:39,020
And the main money doesn't specifically come back to the region itself, but C.D. does recover

611
00:42:39,020 --> 00:42:42,180
what we can and put it back into our temporary coffers.

612
00:42:47,370 --> 00:42:54,910
So another type of project that C.D. helps deliver is we pass through a lot of state and

613
00:42:54,910 --> 00:43:02,210
general funds directly to local agencies and then, you know, any time those funds pass through

614
00:43:02,210 --> 00:43:07,590
the CDOT federal fund state funds, there's always have strings attached to them, so our

615
00:43:07,590 --> 00:43:12,790
local agency program works directly with the recipients to make sure they're following,

616
00:43:12,830 --> 00:43:16,910
you know, all the state federal guidelines on how that money needs to get spent.

617
00:43:17,390 --> 00:43:24,470
A lot of this goes to transit projects, a lot of it goes to bridge, but there's a local

618
00:43:24,470 --> 00:43:31,110
like off-system bridge program, and then also a lot of the multi-model site block type projects

619
00:43:31,110 --> 00:43:32,550
get funded this way.

620
00:43:34,170 --> 00:43:37,570
But yeah, I'll let Annie talk about these projects.

621
00:43:39,010 --> 00:43:42,710
So, the first one is the Durango College Drive and eighth project.

622
00:43:43,550 --> 00:43:46,130
So, most of the construction has been done on this already.

623
00:43:46,850 --> 00:43:50,230
All of the hard suit escaping is done, it's just a little bit of seating and some last

624
00:43:50,230 --> 00:43:51,050
minute.

625
00:43:51,750 --> 00:43:58,510
items to wrap up, but it should be done this year, so that was a 1.5 million in the MMOF

626
00:43:58,510 --> 00:44:04,150
$60, as I mentioned again, Bridgip dual sheet delivers all these little agency projects

627
00:44:04,150 --> 00:44:10,710
below the region, but this project reduced the roadway from four lanes to three, and

628
00:44:10,710 --> 00:44:16,430
if you're some transit stops, as well as some additional sidewalks. Construction project

629
00:44:16,430 --> 00:44:19,370
as active right now, is there was the Avenue Path,

630
00:44:19,530 --> 00:44:21,070
so that would be a shared East Path,

631
00:44:21,250 --> 00:44:24,370
and really multi-modal improvements along the avenues we see.

632
00:44:24,970 --> 00:44:28,770
A lot of pedestrian and multi-modal traffic on this route.

633
00:44:29,310 --> 00:44:32,690
This project has 1.2 million of our tap program,

634
00:44:32,770 --> 00:44:36,830
transportation alternatives, as well as some match for the city.

635
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:05,580
I think of what is the intersection there that is coming down and on to rules that it doesn't have a stop sign.

636
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:13,220
The one that goes up to me, the one that goes up to me, that is a crazy spot to not have a stop sign. Is that?

637
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,320
Yeah, that would be the end of our view. It's the city.

638
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:17,060
Yeah.

639
00:45:17,420 --> 00:45:17,620
Yeah.

640
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:23,780
I have watched so many near has misses and far is almost hitting cyclists.

641
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,800
It is, I live in Crestview.

642
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,520
And so I go by this. Sorry to interrupt you.

643
00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:30,880
No, no. I can agree with you more.

644
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,800
And I live in Crest, you said, probably do this.

645
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:33,820
I'll have me talk so a week.

646
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,360
You guys know what the numbers of average daily trips.

647
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,500
But I can't believe something hasn't been killed.

648
00:45:38,580 --> 00:45:40,740
And I'm so glad this is getting done.

649
00:45:41,100 --> 00:45:43,220
And yeah, the coming down for man,

650
00:45:43,220 --> 00:45:44,480
I going after the cemetery.

651
00:45:45,260 --> 00:45:47,440
And then people crossing right there.

652
00:45:47,580 --> 00:45:49,340
Because that's manna to the right.

653
00:45:49,700 --> 00:45:51,700
That's the intersection you're talking about commissioner.

654
00:45:51,860 --> 00:45:53,640
And then people crossing over,

655
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:55,680
Now we've had a pickleball quarts.

656
00:45:55,980 --> 00:45:59,920
It's like, I wear it stand with the danger, you know.

657
00:46:00,420 --> 00:46:01,740
So I'm so psyched.

658
00:46:01,740 --> 00:46:04,380
I don't like getting delayed every morning.

659
00:46:04,820 --> 00:46:05,040
Yeah.

660
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:07,340
Yeah, and go back.

661
00:46:07,340 --> 00:46:08,720
A little soapbox there.

662
00:46:09,020 --> 00:46:09,860
No, I'm sure.

663
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:11,480
I just wanted to know if you had jurisdiction

664
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:12,040
over stick.

665
00:46:12,540 --> 00:46:13,000
We don't.

666
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,040
Yeah, we've heard that before.

667
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,540
Is there another stop?

668
00:46:16,700 --> 00:46:18,260
So you're it's like, two ways to do it.

669
00:46:18,260 --> 00:46:18,800
Two ways to do it.

670
00:46:18,820 --> 00:46:19,120
Two ways to do it.

671
00:46:20,020 --> 00:46:23,120
There's two main archerials that are coming down

672
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:27,360
and intersecting in a T in terms of setting one has a stop sign of the other one does not.

673
00:46:27,620 --> 00:46:30,340
So that's what we're looking at right there. Yeah. Yeah.

674
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:35,400
One is cemetery. What is weird? I don't know. I can't ever which one is which.

675
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:41,780
You got it. It's not a road. I'm on too often, but every time I am, I'm like how, yeah, that. Yeah.

676
00:46:42,820 --> 00:46:45,900
And I was wondering if that was like a safety issue, like is it doesn't ice,

677
00:46:46,140 --> 00:46:50,520
and so they don't want to put a stop sign there. I, I, I, I don't understand anything.

678
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:56,980
the organization with that mind, yeah, you know, but in human back to the college and in

679
00:46:56,980 --> 00:47:01,300
graduate group, you know, so we took the four lanes to three, the general public gates,

680
00:47:01,460 --> 00:47:07,820
any time they hear that you're not taking away, but the data indicates that on roads like this,

681
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:13,760
they become much safer and nobody gets there any slower. So you might sit behind somebody

682
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,280
where you want to be in front of them, but at the end of the day, you're actually getting to that

683
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:22,660
to your destination just as bad as you were before. So this is something we're looking at kind of

684
00:47:22,660 --> 00:47:28,020
statewide, you know, taking a different approach to let's just put more lanes every time

685
00:47:28,020 --> 00:47:32,040
we have an issue with think that's going to make it better. The data is indicated actually that's

686
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:38,860
way that we just as much congestion. So like I said, there are not popular, so you guys might hear them

687
00:47:38,860 --> 00:47:43,820
and I guess that's the top of the point and we've the data in the case that they're not, you don't

688
00:47:43,820 --> 00:47:47,320
using any speed, you know, from when it would be, and it makes these road waste segments

689
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,900
quite safe. I think it's, yeah, it's much safer. I drive it all the time to go to and from

690
00:47:51,900 --> 00:47:59,460
work and it just makes sense. It's more of a traffic calming as well. Would you be able to

691
00:47:59,460 --> 00:48:06,060
provide us with some of that road diet data like just so that it's, it's good for us to just have

692
00:48:06,060 --> 00:48:09,680
that our favorite types of homework explaining it to people where we're getting our resources of

693
00:48:13,940 --> 00:48:20,260
And it's gotten so impobular, you know, it's very effective that I don't even think we are allowed to use the word road diet anymore.

694
00:48:20,660 --> 00:48:25,640
We have to say, the lane reduction or lane from our cops folks.

695
00:48:26,140 --> 00:48:30,060
We had a project in their diet and they had to take it out.

696
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,280
All right, now

697
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:45,700
there while I'll

698
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:47,100
do this fucked one this is a인가–Saundall

699
00:48:47,980 --> 00:48:53,400
get designated spending project to get there

700
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,780
revenue

701
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:54,860
of revenue at COVID

702
00:48:54,780 --> 00:48:58,140
at COVID as sales

703
00:48:54,860 --> 00:48:56,840
as sales

704
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:02,720
working through with us in the engineers. I think they're hoping to go to construction at

705
00:49:02,720 --> 00:49:09,580
2027. That's just not to go north though. It's just put the intersection there and stops

706
00:49:09,580 --> 00:49:17,220
because then, past life, it was the road to go north, tie into the school. So that's still a

707
00:49:17,220 --> 00:49:23,140
long range plan for Bayfield. I think this is just the signal itself and the infrastructure type

708
00:49:23,140 --> 00:49:28,300
that Bridget or Jen feel free to correct this. You guys have been intimately involved with it.

709
00:49:29,740 --> 00:49:35,240
Is this six to the housing project? Yeah. What was the question if we were going to extend to the

710
00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:38,700
North in the project or just in preparation for the.

711
00:49:40,060 --> 00:49:42,640
Just go from the Bayfield signal Parkway project.

712
00:49:43,420 --> 00:49:50,700
Yeah. We're just. We're going to place a signal at the Parkway intersection.

713
00:49:51,420 --> 00:49:59,980
There will just be a stub to the north that will stop shy of the right-of-way lines so that there's no right-of-way acquisition.

714
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:08,660
So I'd like to line and tie in. It's much more than a signal project because there's steep embankment

715
00:50:08,660 --> 00:50:13,580
slopes in so in order to build those turn lanes and acceleration lanes. There's a lot of dirt that

716
00:50:13,580 --> 00:50:21,760
has to be moved. Then we have an irrigation ditch on either side of the intersection that needs to be

717
00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:27,560
adjusted or extended. So kind of why it's taking a little bit longer.

718
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:34,280
Um, it's, it's a lot more details and things going on.

719
00:50:35,720 --> 00:50:36,700
So, guys, are the questions?

720
00:50:38,020 --> 00:50:41,860
Thank you. I look forward to this. It's been a long conversation with you and I we've

721
00:50:41,860 --> 00:50:49,480
patterned for many years. And so, um, I think the, depending on the economy, I think business

722
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:54,220
community will be able to help assist moving forward because that's about 100 acres right there

723
00:50:54,220 --> 00:50:58,580
for a commercial industrial housing is going to be

724
00:50:58,580 --> 00:51:01,840
going to open up a door. How big door? Wow. And we did break.

725
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:06,260
We had our our right away lines in some places. We have what we call an

726
00:51:06,260 --> 00:51:08,860
airline, which is basically like a line that we don't want to break

727
00:51:08,860 --> 00:51:12,820
till our more access to the highway. We were able to break that line

728
00:51:12,820 --> 00:51:15,080
to officially make sure to that that ordinance

729
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,040
up goes through and gosh, we did that in 2018 or

730
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:22,380
19. So it's been primed and ready. Yes, it is.

731
00:51:22,380 --> 00:51:27,500
I'm happy because children are still running across at the pawn shop area, and so this will help

732
00:51:27,500 --> 00:51:33,260
slow between the lights to a point. Just calm people down and set a fly-in through Bayfield.

733
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:37,600
The question and it's I don't expect like to cosporate down, but that

734
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:43,300
congressional director spending was a couple of years ago correct. Yes, so where do we see

735
00:51:43,300 --> 00:51:47,640
getting, because I agree, a top priority we've talked to Bayfield a lot about this.

736
00:51:48,740 --> 00:51:50,760
I'm sure there's a funding gap I know.

737
00:51:51,740 --> 00:51:52,740
I'm sure there is.

738
00:51:52,740 --> 00:51:57,720
I know Sita is putting some funds together into it from our signal assets that we have

739
00:51:57,720 --> 00:51:58,640
to build those signals.

740
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,300
It's only like $500 a year.

741
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:01,160
We get for it.

742
00:52:01,340 --> 00:52:02,600
So it's a pretty small pod.

743
00:52:04,140 --> 00:52:06,700
But yeah, I'm not sure where the rest is coming from.

744
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:07,220
Bridget.

745
00:52:08,020 --> 00:52:10,000
Are you tied into the funding side or Jen?

746
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,800
The city is actively looking.

747
00:52:13,260 --> 00:52:16,440
The cost estimate is upwards of 4 million.

748
00:52:17,460 --> 00:52:24,220
And, yeah, Jen came in with a state funds to provide the local match to the Congressional Award.

749
00:52:24,780 --> 00:52:28,500
And then an additional, I want to say around 300.

750
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:32,940
So I think she got in 700 to 800,000.

751
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:38,460
The city is paying for the design that isn't reimbursable at this time.

752
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,160
But they do have a gap to fund construction.

753
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:48,440
So, pain-year-olds, just to apologize now.

754
00:52:49,060 --> 00:52:52,960
The last thing is we're just trying to help them with grant applications, where we can signals

755
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:58,360
are a little bit trickier, but the app continued to offer that, but if anybody knows a couple

756
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,080
million, they need it.

757
00:53:00,860 --> 00:53:03,680
What's sad is when I was mayor, it was 2.5.

758
00:53:03,820 --> 00:53:04,640
Right, exactly.

759
00:53:04,660 --> 00:53:06,420
And then now it's at four.

760
00:53:06,580 --> 00:53:11,300
I know that there was about a hat, I don't quote me on about a half a million coming from

761
00:53:11,300 --> 00:53:16,820
that came from the school district, but I think the town used funds for engineering of that.

762
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:27,160
And so there may be, I can't speak for them, but maybe there is a lot of people be excited about this.

763
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:31,380
What do you want to take left?

764
00:53:31,820 --> 00:53:39,180
Sure, so Ignacio received a revitalizing mainstream grant and they were one of the last projects

765
00:53:39,180 --> 00:53:41,880
to receive funding, but the program was put on pause.

766
00:53:42,660 --> 00:53:44,840
So this was to do pedestrian improvements

767
00:53:46,420 --> 00:53:47,600
on part of St.

768
00:53:47,720 --> 00:53:50,160
because it got her, good or street, not her.

769
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:50,420
Got her.

770
00:53:50,420 --> 00:53:51,960
Thank you, I'll leave her down so it's got her.

771
00:53:52,260 --> 00:53:53,120
Thank you, Julie.

772
00:53:53,940 --> 00:53:57,120
And so they received 220,000.

773
00:53:57,380 --> 00:53:59,780
See that headquarters is actually delivering this project,

774
00:54:00,060 --> 00:54:01,420
not see that region five.

775
00:54:01,940 --> 00:54:03,820
So as they will get a status update yesterday

776
00:54:03,820 --> 00:54:06,260
from the C.D. headquarters project managers.

777
00:54:06,580 --> 00:54:08,600
And so they have some scope changes

778
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:13,720
that they're working through slightly to make sure that it aligns with the program, and that

779
00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:21,040
this consultant has provided preliminary drawings on RFBs, cross-archs, straightening, enhancements,

780
00:54:21,220 --> 00:54:27,440
and warning signal, signage, 5-foot sidewalks, lock pioneer street, and then landscape boulders

781
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:33,360
around the curve of the northwest corner, high-near street. So is the revitalizing Main Street

782
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:40,600
program over is not having the active funds over the level of warning any. Yeah, the state legislature

783
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:51,200
with the budget cuts and basically defunded that program. Hiatus until the JVC recommends refunding it.

784
00:54:51,580 --> 00:54:55,040
So they did not cancel any active projects, the little projects that I've received funding

785
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:59,960
and before still being delivered. But it was receiving its funds from the general fund and those

786
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:16,880
8% of the last two years. We'll see what this should bring. But yeah, take that light, religious leader. But like we had a big pot of money just sitting there not getting spent, not understanding sometimes it takes a while to get the wheels turning on these projects. So that's why they got targeted.

787
00:55:17,860 --> 00:55:19,120
And they were desperate.

788
00:55:20,720 --> 00:55:25,720
On that note, do we know and, you know, once I'm in D5, got pulled?

789
00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:29,140
The Transportation Initiative, 79? Yes, 79.

790
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:34,840
And then apparently that was a deal struck to take money out of the gym of lunch for transportation.

791
00:55:35,580 --> 00:55:40,360
Do we know when that is going, the details of that are going to come forward?

792
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:41,600
Does anybody hurt?

793
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:42,580
Yeah.

794
00:55:42,580 --> 00:55:47,960
I think it's going to come forward with the next legislative session because the conversation was a whole bunch of

795
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:53,120
some bills coming through the legislation and new fee bill coming through the next legislative session.

796
00:55:53,540 --> 00:56:00,420
Okay, so really it hinges upon the next legislative session actually doing something when we have a new governor and

797
00:56:00,420 --> 00:56:05,040
on top of whatever happens with elections going on the asphalt.

798
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:10,040
I mean, I personally am glad I got pulled, but then the intent of it was good.

799
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:14,100
And everybody was like, yeah, we need transportation funding. How are we going to make that happen?

800
00:56:14,340 --> 00:56:18,020
You know, I think it brought some attention to some of the issues that we've been struggling with for sure.

801
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:25,760
Yeah. So we'll hear in our CCI calls about, okay, so if when some be nine got pulled, then what is the idea for

802
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,200
Get transportation funding where it needs to be?

803
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:28,960
Okay.

804
00:56:29,820 --> 00:56:33,020
I haven't seen a whole bunch of details as pretty high level, but a lot.

805
00:56:33,340 --> 00:56:36,780
One of them was a feed bill that would go through the legislative session.

806
00:56:37,220 --> 00:56:39,240
And I think there's probably more.

807
00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:41,720
okay. Thanks.

808
00:56:46,050 --> 00:56:52,470
Yeah. So another local agency project, the division of transit and rail at headquarters is

809
00:56:52,470 --> 00:56:58,850
delivering this project, but it's the Durango evening. My good micro transit service, they were awarded

810
00:56:59,530 --> 00:57:06,730
MMMF dollars for this in the last call. And so they have $468,000 total the way that they're doing it

811
00:57:06,730 --> 00:57:14,190
just a small steady chunk each fiscal year through 2028. So they've been able to operate the service

812
00:57:14,190 --> 00:57:19,770
this past year. Basically it's more of the evening service critical for employees and

813
00:57:21,110 --> 00:57:25,370
eight residents and so this is a really successful program and we're happy that they're

814
00:57:25,370 --> 00:57:32,530
studying their money. That is really hugely successful. Yeah. So as a heads up, the funding for this,

815
00:57:32,530 --> 00:57:36,930
the multi-modal mitigation options fund, just like the

816
00:57:36,930 --> 00:57:41,850
providing the revitalizing main streets, was also swept back from the legislature.

817
00:57:43,370 --> 00:57:49,030
Luckily, about half of the funds were also fees that still come into the program,

818
00:57:49,250 --> 00:57:52,550
but more of those fees now go to Bustang than they used to.

819
00:57:53,210 --> 00:57:56,790
So, you know, the bottom line is the TPR, the TPR,

820
00:57:56,790 --> 00:58:03,270
works the MMO funds, they likely will not have money to do a new call for projects until

821
00:58:03,270 --> 00:58:10,730
probably 20, 30 or 20, 31. So these operaries, these transit type projects, right? They were able

822
00:58:10,730 --> 00:58:16,590
to apply for funding for operating for the window, which the TPR lasted call, but they'll call,

823
00:58:16,650 --> 00:58:22,570
which was through 20, 28. I don't know if during ago has funding identified beyond 20, 28 because

824
00:58:22,570 --> 00:58:26,690
these, and then the left dollars that they were probably hoping they could just apply for every

825
00:58:26,690 --> 00:58:31,770
few years and keep the program funded, at least they're going to probably miss one cycle.

826
00:58:35,700 --> 00:58:39,940
That's a bummer for the, I just talked to some news really, really concerned,

827
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:45,860
and you look at our jail data and 10% of people in our jails right there because of DUI's

828
00:58:46,820 --> 00:58:53,320
and the people that came in and did a early assessment said that is extraordinarily high.

829
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:58,600
And so things like this help get drug drivers off our

830
00:58:58,600 --> 00:58:59,900
history doesn't give.

831
00:59:00,860 --> 00:59:04,960
So maybe it'll be restored if we can find the transportation funding.

832
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,500
Another transit project that received at MMLF dollars is the roadrunners,

833
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:16,940
the Coga transit facility, their facilities, just south of B fields.

834
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:24,220
And this is a planning grant, so a shovel ready plan to really upgrade their facility.

835
00:59:24,220 --> 00:59:27,240
So, this project has two sources of funding.

836
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:32,440
It's the MMOF, which is really actually a supplement to an existing federal transit administration,

837
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:37,240
53.04, which is a planning grant through the FDA that Roadrunner received.

838
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:44,200
This project is being delivered partially through headquarters, mostly division of transit rail,

839
00:59:44,340 --> 00:59:46,500
but as well as our division of transportation development.

840
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,160
Some of the MMOF funds in this project need to be spent by the end of the year,

841
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,680
as well as the 53 or four on also expire.

842
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,300
And so they're making sure that they meet their deadlines,

843
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,000
they'll need for it.

844
00:59:59,220 --> 00:59:59,980
And I actually just...

845
01:00:00,910 --> 01:00:30,890
Okay, and then the last piece of kind of what C.D. does is our maintenance crews, so these are the, you know, orange C.D. vehicles you guys see, you know, fixing the car growl, like we talked about in a normal winter doing a lot of still plowing stuff, you know, trimming, mowing, a lot of different things that are bait and it's guys do. Basically it's just kind of keep the system running and do the fixes that they can do.

846
01:00:30,910 --> 01:00:39,010
with state staff. So just a couple, they also will do some, our maintenance guys, we'll

847
01:00:39,010 --> 01:00:44,930
do some resurfacing and surface treatment type projects. They are limited by the

848
01:00:45,650 --> 01:00:51,090
transition commission on how much they can spend on a single project. I believe the

849
01:00:51,090 --> 01:00:58,130
cap on that is $300,000. So a project costs more than $300,000 for required by statute to put it

850
01:00:58,130 --> 01:01:03,470
bit like those bigger projects that we do. So that's why a lot of times you will see just like a

851
01:01:03,470 --> 01:01:09,110
mile get done that you wonder why didn't they keep going? That's why. But a couple of those,

852
01:01:09,110 --> 01:01:16,630
one I think that was just finished and maybe just walked down but just north of Durango

853
01:01:17,270 --> 01:01:24,370
kind of in the Rockwood area there was a half mile that got resurfaced through there and then we've

854
01:01:24,370 --> 01:01:32,370
a chip seal on Highway 140 kind of just north of this state line. The chip seals, the highway

855
01:01:32,370 --> 01:01:37,690
thing which usually aren't is in bad shape and the chip seal can hopefully the lifespan on

856
01:01:37,690 --> 01:01:43,150
that is not as long but the highway is not so bad it's a lot more cost-effective so we can

857
01:01:43,150 --> 01:01:47,950
lot of times deal about five miles with a chip seal or as if we're completely resurfacing.

858
01:01:48,910 --> 01:01:51,010
We can usually get the one mile for the same price.

859
01:01:51,710 --> 01:01:57,130
We rely on those maintenance projects to really hold the roots together until we can get an engineering project in there.

860
01:01:57,290 --> 01:02:05,950
And some of our real-world areas, like Highway 90, over by that night of Highway 90.

861
01:02:06,090 --> 01:02:08,210
We literally year after year, we're doing a mile.

862
01:02:10,110 --> 01:02:11,070
So, good.

863
01:02:12,030 --> 01:02:12,430
Yep.

864
01:02:13,930 --> 01:02:17,430
And then we've got a couple more that are coming up.

865
01:02:17,430 --> 01:02:22,090
also in 550 north of the town and then kind of thinking up where that other ship

866
01:02:22,090 --> 01:02:26,430
seemed left off. I'll do that within the next year.

867
01:02:27,830 --> 01:02:34,890
And then this is, so in the last art, you know, the state fiscal year is July 1st through June 30th

868
01:02:34,890 --> 01:02:41,970
or fiscal year 2026. It just ended June 30th. So this is how much we spent in the

869
01:02:41,970 --> 01:02:49,710
County on maintenance of the highway system. I was 4 million bucks. A lot of times the

870
01:02:50,390 --> 01:02:55,350
that winter operations it was only 25% this year that usually is the biggest piece of

871
01:02:55,350 --> 01:03:01,430
the pot. But with having the light winter we had a little bit more a little bit more money

872
01:03:01,430 --> 01:03:11,950
to spend on some other things. So traffic services that's replacing signs doing a lot of

873
01:03:11,950 --> 01:03:17,510
on signals any time, you know, a traffic signal, our system goes down, things like that.

874
01:03:18,750 --> 01:03:21,610
The surface treatment is kind of what I just went over those types of projects.

875
01:03:21,970 --> 01:03:28,170
The earthwork would be like cleaning out our ditch lines, repairing shoulders, things

876
01:03:28,170 --> 01:03:29,730
along, things like that.

877
01:03:29,850 --> 01:03:38,690
Clean up is litter, room chill, geohazard, where we get mudslides or just rocks on the highway.

878
01:03:39,210 --> 01:03:43,710
And the right way maintenance that would include things like light guard rail, fences,

879
01:03:45,030 --> 01:03:48,690
mowing, tree trimming, weging, all things like that.

880
01:03:50,170 --> 01:03:51,610
And that is the last slide.

881
01:03:52,750 --> 01:03:56,630
So this is the point where we kind of open it up to questions to you guys and hear

882
01:03:56,630 --> 01:03:59,690
concerns that we didn't go over.

883
01:04:00,390 --> 01:04:00,730
Mistress.

884
01:04:01,930 --> 01:04:07,090
I don't have any particular question at this point and I hope you have a significant greater

885
01:04:07,090 --> 01:04:08,430
expenditure and snow removal.

886
01:04:14,670 --> 01:04:20,950
One of the only things I had was the irrigation that's going to love the highway.

887
01:04:21,170 --> 01:04:23,830
Sorry to bring up such a source subject here.

888
01:04:25,910 --> 01:04:29,370
Is CDOT replacing the irrigation that goes over?

889
01:04:30,190 --> 01:04:32,070
That's not the responsibility of the irrigation.

890
01:04:32,070 --> 01:04:34,390
It's not used the answer to our response, but it was, okay,

891
01:04:34,410 --> 01:04:36,990
it carries structures that actually cross our right away.

892
01:04:37,070 --> 01:04:38,670
Okay, keep those in good repair.

893
01:05:02,540 --> 01:05:16,000
So, that's why we are doing that. And that hasn't really been touched other than some tape put on it to remove air holes through it since it was first put in. So, it's time. When was it first put in?

894
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:22,180
I don't know, I haven't even remember when the overhead pipe structure was done, that's

895
01:05:22,180 --> 01:05:24,600
when the highway was relying probably in the 70s.

896
01:05:25,140 --> 01:05:31,760
Yeah, I want to say in the 50s, but I could look that up, but it's been there a long time,

897
01:05:32,180 --> 01:05:39,280
and we only recently conducted inspections that have never been done because they considered it a minor structure.

898
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:45,900
We have seven overhead pipes within the region, and we did an inspection on them last summer.

899
01:05:47,020 --> 01:05:52,680
And we were focusing our efforts on the Bayfield one right now, and then we also have one.

900
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:59,980
Across this 491 outside of Cortez, the R-Second focus, and then there's several a number of them on 285.

901
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:04,900
Some of them have already been abandoned, and we're looking into the possibility of removing them.

902
01:06:04,900 --> 01:06:10,180
But we also have irrigation structures that are

903
01:06:10,180 --> 01:06:11,960
ciphons that go under the highway.

904
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,600
A number of places throughout our region.

905
01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:18,940
We did replace one years ago when we did the two

906
01:06:18,940 --> 01:06:21,840
three intersection project, we replaced one that

907
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:22,880
one underneath the highway.

908
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:28,580
This happens to be overhead and it's way past you.

909
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,820
We were able to tap into emergency contingency

910
01:06:31,820 --> 01:06:33,840
dollars for this one as well because we really don't

911
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,500
have any sources of asset funding since it wasn't being inspected.

912
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,120
It's not considered like the regular asset system.

913
01:06:40,740 --> 01:06:44,360
So it was grateful that the Commission was willing to give us some emergency funds to make

914
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:48,000
sure we got this one done in the one North of the Court as done.

915
01:06:51,500 --> 01:06:51,720
Herman, stop.

916
01:06:51,980 --> 01:06:54,200
I just want to thank everybody for your work.

917
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:55,900
It's really, there's a great presentation.

918
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:03,660
There is a person I talked to, gosh, it was a long time ago, who held some questions about

919
01:07:03,660 --> 01:07:10,980
access on 5.50. South, who should I? I told him I would. Yeah, talk about it next time you all came in.

920
01:07:11,100 --> 01:07:14,700
And it would be Jennifer Allison with our traffic unit that takes care of access,

921
01:07:15,700 --> 01:07:20,020
Jennifer Allison. Right. She's on. Yep. Yes. Okay. Yeah. So thank you.

922
01:07:20,180 --> 01:07:23,400
Can you get her number? You know, you can, yes,

923
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:27,960
set it to Sean or something. Yeah, and we'll make sure the letter also has that information in it.

924
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:32,620
Okay. Thanks. And I'll just let you know he can talk. And then to put something on your

925
01:07:32,620 --> 01:07:38,460
screen that came across my radar screen. Apparently, there are some negotiations going on with the city of

926
01:07:38,460 --> 01:07:51,380
Durango and Perks of Wildlife around the Animus River Trail connection from Home Depot to where it comes down and it's like we need that segment and I think there's some

927
01:07:51,380 --> 01:07:56,420
concerns with CPW about that being a wildland corridor and which would

928
01:07:56,420 --> 01:07:58,920
to perhaps make the trail more difficult.

929
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,160
So I don't just to outreach to you

930
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,840
that that would take so that would take so many vehicles

931
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:05,900
off our roads if we can get that done.

932
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:10,600
And but I think there might be some considerations there

933
01:08:11,260 --> 01:08:15,840
with CPW saying that's a major wildlife area.

934
01:08:16,740 --> 01:08:18,800
And then the question I think would be

935
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,680
how would a trail impact a wildlife corridor

936
01:08:22,680 --> 01:08:25,320
if it's by a four or five laying high bed?

937
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:32,820
You know, I'm trying to be I'm trying to be flip it. I promise that I I'm waiting a lot of work in this area

938
01:08:32,820 --> 01:08:40,580
I don't want to like I don't want to like I don't want to put any wrenches and things because it's the city and not us

939
01:08:40,580 --> 01:08:46,800
But when we look at three springs and people being able to bike in and that corridor access the

940
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,880
Access plan that we just got for grand view. I just

941
01:08:51,260 --> 01:08:56,220
It's not virgin wilderness. It's a sea dot corridor and so I don't know

942
01:08:56,220 --> 01:08:59,540
And I'm talking from an educated perspective.

943
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,960
I don't know how a new trail would impact that wildlife corridor.

944
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:10,040
You know, and we probably just probably need to talk to Mr. Archer let it

945
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:14,680
to say, what is the science behind putting in a trail versus high-paying?

946
01:09:18,530 --> 01:09:18,950
I think that was.

947
01:09:19,410 --> 01:09:22,870
So all the animals used to cross at three springs.

948
01:09:24,150 --> 01:09:26,570
And since three springs has been developed,

949
01:09:26,570 --> 01:09:32,110
it's moved them closer to the highway three area and it's severe when arranged

950
01:09:32,110 --> 01:09:37,350
strictly above that, which is why it has the winter closure. Right. And those animals are moving

951
01:09:37,350 --> 01:09:44,070
down off that hill to the Animus River on a daily basis. So it does see a lot of animal movement

952
01:09:44,070 --> 01:09:52,850
and having a trail with human presence and domestic animals would deter its use by some animals.

953
01:09:53,210 --> 01:09:58,170
Um, it is right next to the highway, so I don't know how big of an impact I would be

954
01:09:58,170 --> 01:09:58,810
going to pay.

955
01:09:58,870 --> 01:09:59,490
That's the answer.

956
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:07,320
And we're going to look at, you know, would we allow that? What would that look like?

957
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:13,100
We have a lot of local agencies that are trying to put shared use paths in the right way and we're typically,

958
01:10:13,860 --> 01:10:27,220
we have been very open as long as you follow the design standards. So I guess I just can report for the city that they're trying to move through it without that, or within that restriction.

959
01:10:27,220 --> 01:10:27,900
Okay,

960
01:10:30,620 --> 01:10:34,720
so it'd be a realignment of the trail outside of the critical while they have a tap.

961
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:35,860
Yeah, I'm supposed to have a highway.

962
01:10:36,300 --> 01:10:36,720
Yeah.

963
01:10:36,860 --> 01:10:40,260
But I think that mitigations can hopefully be the conversation that needs to be had.

964
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:47,020
There are ways to screen the trail from the wild areas that the animals are using with with shrubbery.

965
01:10:47,300 --> 01:10:48,000
Mm, intact.

966
01:10:48,020 --> 01:10:49,840
It makes the project cost a lot more.

967
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:50,440
Okay.

968
01:10:51,180 --> 01:10:53,780
But there are ways to minimize the impact.

969
01:10:54,340 --> 01:10:54,460
Yeah, so.

970
01:10:54,460 --> 01:11:00,880
And Tony maybe reach out to Durango and let them know. I think they took that

971
01:11:01,860 --> 01:11:08,980
news from CPW and now are going to do a connected or connected with separation of

972
01:11:08,980 --> 01:11:23,980
barrier on that 550 as you come around the corner from Home Depot until they can get back to

973
01:11:23,980 --> 01:11:29,320
the left, which in that area would be, I think, like, the Northeast, that's the area they're talking about.

974
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:38,240
It was the prior trail alignment. So BLM would have pair people process. Yeah, and this is where

975
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:44,300
I heard it kind of, but yeah. Okay, that's good to know. Usually if you ask if you

976
01:11:44,300 --> 01:11:48,080
of you if there's a wildlife problem they say yes.

977
01:11:49,820 --> 01:11:54,520
So if you ever ask them if you should close any of your trails they'll say yes.

978
01:11:55,560 --> 01:11:57,060
That is probably what's happening here.

979
01:11:57,580 --> 01:11:59,160
There's Bill, Bill, I'm asking C.P.W.

980
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:01,760
That's there.

981
01:12:03,300 --> 01:12:03,920
Does it have a comment?

982
01:12:05,140 --> 01:12:05,980
Any other questions?

983
01:12:07,700 --> 01:12:08,420
Thank you very much.

984
01:12:08,660 --> 01:12:08,840
Thank you.

985
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:11,300
Thank you.

986
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:15,760
I'm going to just take a five minute break and then we can just crack through the rest of this here.

987
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:17,620
So we can be in Bibles.

988
01:12:18,180 --> 01:12:18,520
Thank you.

989
01:12:25,730 --> 01:12:26,170
Thank you.

990
01:12:26,290 --> 01:12:26,410
Thank you.

991
01:12:26,710 --> 01:12:27,150
Good night.

992
01:12:27,350 --> 01:12:27,510
Good night.

993
01:12:27,670 --> 01:12:28,350
Good night.

994
01:18:17,460 --> 01:18:21,780
I appreciate that you've had the moment of this move. Yes, look at us.

995
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:25,980
We're in a

996
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:28,700
way.

997
01:18:31,260 --> 01:18:32,920
Why we still have the one slide.

998
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:43,240
Who is the voice in the air? Is that Logan? Is there possible you can kick off? And then maybe that we'll go back to our normal screen.

999
01:18:57,540 --> 01:19:03,660
Okay. All right. We'll go ahead and reconvene a BDT here. And up here is future board discussion items.

1000
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:12,540
I have one that may take more time on my day.

1001
01:19:13,480 --> 01:19:17,520
I've been thinking about we have reconvened our meetings with the city and

1002
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:21,860
Ignacio, and I know this has some difficulty with the

1003
01:19:21,860 --> 01:19:25,040
system of heights, but I am wondering if we can eventually

1004
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:28,340
possibly even quarter, well I guess we're going to be in quarter

1005
01:19:28,340 --> 01:19:32,740
for pretty quick, reconstitute our meetings with Bayfield, the

1006
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:53,740
So I do, I have no issues, I have no concerns or issues with that, Commissioner, so just every time I have an opportunity to see any representation from Bayfield, I do remind them that we would like to do that because that was the last guidance I was given of being able to keep asking for that.

1007
01:19:53,740 --> 01:19:59,900
it improves, it just improves communication. So I have a region.

1008
01:20:01,940 --> 01:20:08,260
The Senateman Heights will come up and we'll just have to deal with it. It's really settled at this point from my understanding.

1009
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:14,400
But we have lots like I just was thinking to about the signal like we always talked about the signal.

1010
01:20:14,540 --> 01:20:18,680
We always talked about the way, you know, share patrols and all that kind of stuff.

1011
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:26,380
So I would say, if Sean is willing, see where John's at, and see where it goes, if they don't

1012
01:20:26,380 --> 01:20:29,840
reach back out to us, they feel like we've made the overture.

1013
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:35,080
I have an idea, Mitch, was I have an idea, and that is, you have not had, you've had the opportunity

1014
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:43,000
to meet with Ignatio, maybe you could have a reach out to Mr. Waters as well, an ask of

1015
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:48,840
that we like to be convened, quarterly, sir, whatever, or any schedule, and then maybe YouTube can

1016
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:56,460
me as well. Absolutely. Exactly. And that's great. Yeah, penned is. Yes. Thank you for that.

1017
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:03,800
Yep for me. Yeah. Yeah. I don't actually have anything in addition at this point in time.

1018
01:21:05,740 --> 01:21:10,380
Admittedly, I'm a little confused about all of the things that are on our ballot. So I was trying

1019
01:21:10,380 --> 01:21:16,080
figure out, when did we schedule the legislative discussion, the ballot discussion, and

1020
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:21,280
it's so, next week, I think we said it's for a nice week. That's what I thought is

1021
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:26,640
like a full-bind discussion. I want to do what I just want to make sure that I have plenty

1022
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,300
of leeway. That's just, I want to make sure I have no one to make.

1023
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:37,040
Well, I'm going to tie on to that for next week. I was going to have an ask because I sit

1024
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:43,320
on the land-film mitigation committee, and they move for the meeting, and it's on a Wednesday.

1025
01:21:44,140 --> 01:21:49,300
So I would, my ask was going to be, if Commissioner Filbert can run VDT that day because I

1026
01:21:49,300 --> 01:21:53,740
would really like to be there remotely. I'll be here at the office, but we'll not be able to be

1027
01:21:53,740 --> 01:21:59,420
part of VDT. So the question I'll have is, is I am comfortable with you all still proceeding

1028
01:21:59,420 --> 01:22:06,140
with telling having that discussion, but I would like to be at the land-film meeting during VDT.

1029
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:11,600
So I'm playing, I mean, obviously, that's fine, but I just wonder about then moving the overall

1030
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:16,720
ball of question to the 16th when you could be there, because I think getting all our views

1031
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:22,720
and being clear, we can talk about this later when we talk about 1, 3, 2, but it being clear

1032
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,140
like it's just talking, yeah, we're just talking.

1033
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:30,820
Well, it's also really interesting to understand how, because again, so many of these, particularly

1034
01:22:30,820 --> 01:22:35,860
at the state level, have fiscal notes for the state that they do not have to have a fiscal note

1035
01:22:35,860 --> 01:22:41,340
of the county, it's exceptionally important for us to have an understanding of how it will affect us.

1036
01:22:42,100 --> 01:22:52,040
I think I received a quick, I think all of us received a quick little bit of information about one particular proposal having a pretty significant county cost.

1037
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:58,560
And so it's just important for us to know, how does it affect us as the government?

1038
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:00,340
Yeah. Absolutely.

1039
01:23:00,340 --> 01:23:06,600
like um yeah so there's 16. Yeah yeah if there's time and Logan and trying to have it all

1040
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:11,440
worked out that we're not already filled up that time because I'd like you there I would like

1041
01:23:11,440 --> 01:23:17,460
you there just to like as we we all connect with different people yeah the ballot this year okay

1042
01:23:20,020 --> 01:23:24,680
it's yeah yeah I looked at ballotopia is that what it's called? Yeah ballotopia

1043
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:31,320
Well, it'sopia and the Secretary of State site and it's like power voters ever going to be able to figure this out.

1044
01:23:31,380 --> 01:23:37,960
It's also confusing enough that it this gives us a little bit of time to reach out to Tiffany to point out what also are the local

1045
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:42,800
ballot pieces that will pop up across the county.

1046
01:23:44,780 --> 01:23:49,800
Yeah, yes, it is going to be a thick ballot for sure.

1047
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:53,620
It could be a little extra postage this year, I'm sure, for the state.

1048
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:55,060
Do you want this on the 16th?

1049
01:23:55,060 --> 01:24:00,080
The 16th, please, a reviewing of ballot measures.

1050
01:24:02,020 --> 01:24:02,420
I'll be.

1051
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,920
And this is not, this is just our opinions.

1052
01:24:06,260 --> 01:24:07,440
These are just discussions.

1053
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:12,960
And it's just discussion between the commissioners and, yeah.

1054
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,240
And just to clarify, based on one thirty two.

1055
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:21,800
So if we then decide one of our rises to the level that we would like to oppose your support,

1056
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,260
can do that, but it goes on a public agenda.

1057
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:29,160
So that would be another discussion item like, do any of these, do we want to then put

1058
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:30,480
on the next business agenda?

1059
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,620
Balance, go out the 14th, about tuber?

1060
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:34,720
Yes.

1061
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:43,160
So I saw that somewhere, but it wasn't from Tiffany, so anyway, just to make sure we're following

1062
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:44,040
our piezing cues.

1063
01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:45,080
I think we can discuss.

1064
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:55,620
It's no different than legislation, right, and then if we decide we want to oppose something or support something, we can check with our attorneys, but I think we can then put it on the agenda.

1065
01:24:55,620 --> 01:24:59,980
Yes, so we have the 16th and then these...

1066
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,300
It's about the 14th of October.

1067
01:25:02,740 --> 01:25:09,180
That is what I saw on the blocks come out.

1068
01:25:10,020 --> 01:25:12,200
I usually beep like that.

1069
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:12,880
It's just before.

1070
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:14,140
Yeah.

1071
01:25:14,140 --> 01:25:14,940
That's on me.

1072
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:17,160
So I think this might work.

1073
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:20,900
I mean, just this thinking of loud commissioners and that is, is that we can

1074
01:25:20,900 --> 01:25:21,940
have that discussion.

1075
01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:28,080
And then I don't want to pull pressure on resolutions, so it would be.

1076
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:34,520
So if we have a discussion on 16th, we can then put it as soon as if there is a resolution

1077
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:37,320
on the 13th of October.

1078
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:39,560
Yeah.

1079
01:25:39,660 --> 01:25:40,220
I'll be next.

1080
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:41,460
Did I say anything after that?

1081
01:25:41,460 --> 01:25:41,600
No.

1082
01:25:41,780 --> 01:25:42,840
There's one next time.

1083
01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:43,260
Yeah.

1084
01:25:43,260 --> 01:25:46,940
I have time to, if there are any.

1085
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:57,280
Perfect.

1086
01:25:57,580 --> 01:25:58,320
Thank you.

1087
01:25:58,680 --> 01:25:59,220
All right.

1088
01:26:00,940 --> 01:26:02,280
Board discussion and updates.

1089
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:03,180
Come in there.

1090
01:26:03,540 --> 01:26:08,180
Well, next week we have the well for advisory for committee coming to you all.

1091
01:26:08,180 --> 01:26:12,100
I was request a couple of weeks ago that's happening,

1092
01:26:12,320 --> 01:26:13,960
so that's going to be a scene.

1093
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,100
As far as the workplace environment update on that,

1094
01:26:17,100 --> 01:26:20,400
just I continue to go to our different departments

1095
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:23,200
and have conversations about high-level

1096
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:25,140
somatic information on our survey.

1097
01:26:25,300 --> 01:26:28,660
We're getting a great response back and great dialogue

1098
01:26:28,660 --> 01:26:30,400
with the different departments.

1099
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:33,280
So that's going really well.

1100
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:35,620
Honestly, on that, you know,

1101
01:26:35,620 --> 01:26:41,680
have a city-county meeting of this week that we'll be going to, also, really, that's this week.

1102
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:47,160
And then public affairs, I'll let Emily give us a message before that.

1103
01:26:47,180 --> 01:26:49,800
Anything you'd like if you want to add for what we want to write for you?

1104
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:55,380
Good for the survey. I think having the faith-based presentation delivery in Q&A has been very helpful.

1105
01:26:55,580 --> 01:27:01,680
We've gotten a lot of good feedback and I think each one is slightly different and it's been great.

1106
01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:04,140
So I think, you know, this process has been fantastic.

1107
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:05,480
The feedback has been fantastic.

1108
01:27:05,700 --> 01:27:06,800
I'm glad we did it.

1109
01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,720
And I think it's going to reap benefits.

1110
01:27:10,060 --> 01:27:11,140
We're going to have to watch them this.

1111
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:11,880
So.

1112
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:16,440
So we did have a great meeting with Jesse Bowman.

1113
01:27:16,840 --> 01:27:19,180
I think we did a great conversation with her.

1114
01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:22,400
We're expecting, I was really expecting an article today.

1115
01:27:24,620 --> 01:27:29,880
So Friday, I would think she did follow up with a lot of fact,

1116
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:36,860
checking questions and I think she heard us that we care about what our employees say and

1117
01:27:36,860 --> 01:27:44,460
think and that we're really working together to improve the workplace and we're listening

1118
01:27:44,460 --> 01:27:51,560
and improving our culture. It was great. I wanted to let you know we are starting to work with

1119
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:57,700
Doyle, our consultant on the Connections magazine. I've been meeting with him on Friday. I would love

1120
01:27:57,700 --> 01:28:03,080
your feedback for things that you would like to see in the Connections Magazine.

1121
01:28:04,500 --> 01:28:11,840
Certainly we want to do, we will do a year and review for 2026 and we'll talk about 2027 strategic

1122
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:16,960
pillars. I know we're going to be working on those coming up. We'll talk about some of the other things

1123
01:28:17,800 --> 01:28:25,620
certainly but I would love to be back on any of those things and also ideas for stories. Otherwise,

1124
01:28:25,620 --> 01:28:31,200
I've tons of previous additions to use as a blueprint and we'll do that.

1125
01:28:32,140 --> 01:28:37,720
This week we're doing the Haye work for the county property tax shoot video with Kerry.

1126
01:28:38,040 --> 01:28:41,540
Instead of this jackal well, I'd say, why is the county keeping raising my taxes?

1127
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:45,780
Remember, this is an internal product right now, right?

1128
01:28:46,080 --> 01:28:50,580
So it's, you know, low key and Kerry's going to answer that question.

1129
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,480
I loved the one you did with Susanne or Susanne.

1130
01:28:54,480 --> 01:29:02,500
Susan Lane, that was very funny and it made me laugh. Good. We hope it made other employees laugh that up to be light

1131
01:29:02,500 --> 01:29:09,480
But then I was and then I loved how you brought Tiffany and great good. I'm so glad I really haven't got any feedback from anyone

1132
01:29:09,480 --> 01:29:14,280
So glad you liked it. Yeah, yeah, I went out into the midst of

1133
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,040
That was great

1134
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,020
Yeah, other than that,

1135
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:33,480
I have something for the agenda, I'm on the initiative center shot.

1136
01:29:34,780 --> 01:29:35,860
Thank you.

1137
01:29:36,860 --> 01:29:37,420
All right.

1138
01:29:37,940 --> 01:29:43,480
Next here is that I just wanted to, for this next item here is Proposition 132.

1139
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:47,720
Commissioners, I just wanted to take a conservative approach.

1140
01:29:49,060 --> 01:29:55,680
So I spoke with Miss Wallace and so she will not be attending today on this.

1141
01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:59,400
This is just more of wanting to make sure we dot our eyes and cross our teas.

1142
01:30:00,210 --> 01:30:14,190
Fair campaign practice laws. So we are moving forward on just not having that presentation today. I urge and it sounds like two as well that all three county commissioners have signed on.

1143
01:30:15,010 --> 01:30:27,990
What I would like to do instead of having this presentation, my ask would be commissioners is that I would be interesting doing a formal resolution to be put on to.

1144
01:30:27,990 --> 01:30:34,410
the next business, allowable business meeting for a resolution on the opposed position on

1145
01:30:34,410 --> 01:30:43,270
Bob 1-3-2. I can assist with language with staff. I have been working with Ms. Wallace from day one

1146
01:30:43,270 --> 01:30:49,250
of these discussions of just education. And so more than happy to help assist on drafting.

1147
01:30:50,050 --> 01:30:52,550
And then commissioners, of course, then you'll have review payments.

1148
01:30:52,970 --> 01:30:56,130
I think at this point, all three of our names. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

1149
01:30:56,130 --> 01:31:12,470
Okay, all right, so it sounds like I didn't get you pushed back. I would like to move forward with that when when we can get I would just only add the giving the significance of this if anybody would want to organize something that the commissioners attend very similar to the child care thing we went to

1150
01:31:12,470 --> 01:31:25,910
That's on our time not using a county equipment or county staff. I would I would go pending my schedule that you know because sometimes just having having an event where hey give on a Google me and learn about this so that might be something offline

1151
01:31:25,910 --> 01:31:33,950
I can speak with Rebecca on that type of option.

1152
01:31:34,350 --> 01:31:35,530
Thanks for working with her.

1153
01:31:35,590 --> 01:31:39,010
This was the county fiscal note that I was referencing.

1154
01:31:39,970 --> 01:31:42,990
It's a surprisingly large cost to counties.

1155
01:31:43,510 --> 01:31:43,690
Yep.

1156
01:31:44,770 --> 01:31:45,330
My opinion.

1157
01:31:45,530 --> 01:31:46,210
Six million.

1158
01:31:46,430 --> 01:31:46,630
Yeah.

1159
01:31:46,830 --> 01:31:47,270
My opinion.

1160
01:31:47,730 --> 01:31:48,450
D6.

1161
01:31:49,170 --> 01:31:50,390
For us or the whole state,

1162
01:31:50,390 --> 01:31:51,310
hosting whole state.

1163
01:31:51,310 --> 01:31:52,530
But still, we'll have to click.

1164
01:31:52,550 --> 01:31:53,770
Add it on everything else.

1165
01:31:54,410 --> 01:31:54,990
Yep.

1166
01:31:57,400 --> 01:31:58,360
We've got to go somewhere.

1167
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:06,140
Commissioners, our focus has been to provide more services in our region.

1168
01:32:06,860 --> 01:32:09,720
And so this doesn't really solve that problem.

1169
01:32:10,900 --> 01:32:10,960
Okay.

1170
01:32:10,960 --> 01:32:11,140
Perfect.

1171
01:32:11,280 --> 01:32:15,360
I look forward to having further discussions on that for a potential approval of a formal

1172
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:17,660
public resolution here in the future.

1173
01:32:18,640 --> 01:32:18,920
All right.

1174
01:32:19,620 --> 01:32:26,520
Next up here then is a discussion board discussion in updates from commissioners.

1175
01:32:29,060 --> 01:32:34,540
I have a couple if you want to wire your wean through things commissioners, you are

1176
01:32:34,540 --> 01:32:41,960
all aware of the letter that Commissioner Brown and myself signed on to the PUC as well

1177
01:32:41,960 --> 01:32:44,440
as the damage prevention commission.

1178
01:32:44,440 --> 01:32:57,120
I did receive a reply back that the damage prevention commission will be meeting on September 10th to review the letter and to provide any input of the questions of a raised in that letter.

1179
01:32:57,540 --> 01:33:07,760
So I've heard from the demand damage commission side. I have not heard from PUC yet, but you will be seeing this letter. We are going to officially ratify it.

1180
01:33:07,760 --> 01:33:14,860
to some of the language is more of from the commissioners. So we need to get that out of fun.

1181
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:19,140
So that will be on the next business agenda for a ratification of that letter.

1182
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:24,250
But more to come on that, but I did hear back from Damage Prevention Commission and they will

1183
01:33:25,020 --> 01:33:31,880
provide a formal response. So the other item too as well is that thank you very much, Mr.

1184
01:33:31,880 --> 01:33:38,460
the phobric on running BDT next week since I will be in the landfill meeting, and then I just

1185
01:33:38,460 --> 01:33:46,760
want to let you all know, Mr. Torres are a team. He had asked if using some of my

1186
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:51,680
kind of, my broadband contact on the Southern Indian tribe, to see what opportunities are

1187
01:33:51,680 --> 01:33:58,140
available to be able to access fiber from Highway 172 to the airport. This would,

1188
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:01,740
what would

1189
01:34:01,740 --> 01:34:07,760
airport and also very importantly our weather radar station. There is literally a 20-year-old

1190
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:16,100
plus fibrillation that's being used as well as a micro antenna to go from here to the airport.

1191
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:24,360
So we would love to have a fresh new connection and an opportunity for an additional pathway in and out.

1192
01:34:24,940 --> 01:34:31,360
I just connected the people to the table, heard the feel, and so James and his team will be meeting

1193
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:32,320
with them in the future.

1194
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:34,660
What I would like to at least put on your, you're right,

1195
01:34:34,700 --> 01:34:37,160
Arshana, is that the city has also done the same.

1196
01:34:37,540 --> 01:34:39,800
And so maybe this is a topic for you to discuss

1197
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:45,000
with Jose, just this, will be, this would be a joint

1198
01:34:46,340 --> 01:34:49,060
project with city and county to be able to tie

1199
01:34:49,060 --> 01:34:51,500
into the high of 172, bye bye.

1200
01:34:52,980 --> 01:34:54,720
That's all I have for right now.

1201
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:55,680
Wishers.

1202
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,040
I am going to be out for any afternoon,

1203
01:34:58,040 --> 01:34:59,700
and then

1204
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:29,500
Of course, we have Labor Day off. Next week, this is always really, really informational, the Colorado Commission of Indian Affairs is going to be, they do two hybrid meetings, and then one here in Durango and one in Toyock, each year. So I'll be gone all day Thursday, the tenth at that meeting up at Fort Lewis. And that's, of course, the county is ex officio, and then it's just hearing from state agencies and the Lieutenant Governor and all of the tribal,

1205
01:35:29,500 --> 01:35:34,380
We have a lot of tribal council members there that Chairman are both there from both tribes.

1206
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:41,580
On that note, I was able to attend the inauguration of Chairman Sage, and that was a great event.

1207
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:44,540
Look forward to working with her and the council.

1208
01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:48,960
And council member Barry is no vice chair.

1209
01:35:49,740 --> 01:35:53,340
So they get to name their own vice chair, and they also get to name their own executive officer.

1210
01:35:54,440 --> 01:35:58,340
So that there will be a new executive officer coming online soon.

1211
01:35:58,340 --> 01:36:03,200
I don't know if we that will be, and then we, let's see, what else?

1212
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:05,620
I think that's kind of it for our common agenda.

1213
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:12,740
I asked John, would need to reach out to you on the, for give me, when things are getting

1214
01:36:12,740 --> 01:36:15,800
signatures, they have a different number than when they make it on the ballot.

1215
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:23,400
I don't have any idea why that is, but whatever, beyond my pay grade, it's the land and water

1216
01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:34,680
conservation ballant a measure. So he very similarly to Rebecca, he's reaching out to all of us to see where we stand with that. So we can talk about that on the 16th down. And that's it.

1217
01:36:36,340 --> 01:36:45,360
So for me, I, while Colorado, if there is any listening public interested in this, while Colorado is such sort of self protected in the roadless rural world,

1218
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:54,820
the roadless rural comment period is open nationwide, at a point in time, because forests do not respect

1219
01:36:54,820 --> 01:37:03,060
man-made boundaries. It is important to know that there are states that are adjacent to our roadless areas that

1220
01:37:03,060 --> 01:37:11,400
could be affected by this. Now is the time to become an active member of your governance and may comments

1221
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:12,760
if that is something that you care about.

1222
01:37:13,020 --> 01:37:16,440
Like I said, in Colorado, we're pre-self-protected,

1223
01:37:16,500 --> 01:37:18,380
because of our own internal, robust rule,

1224
01:37:18,540 --> 01:37:21,440
but the federal rules are up for changing right now.

1225
01:37:22,480 --> 01:37:23,800
What's the done link in the short network?

1226
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:25,960
I want to say, yes, like the 15th.

1227
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:27,720
It's a very short window that's over.

1228
01:37:28,080 --> 01:37:28,520
They've started.

1229
01:37:29,100 --> 01:37:30,300
They've started it all the way.

1230
01:37:30,440 --> 01:37:31,600
That's the 15th.

1231
01:37:31,820 --> 01:37:34,220
I think we'll, we can double check that,

1232
01:37:34,360 --> 01:37:36,560
but I would suggest if you've got a few minutes.

1233
01:37:37,520 --> 01:37:38,620
Myisville, do it now.

1234
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:40,620
Is that something that you think?

1235
01:37:40,620 --> 01:37:48,760
public messaging. So it's really, this is purely just, we are a community that highly

1236
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:55,520
prizes our forests and our wilderness areas and land conservation and so there is a

1237
01:37:55,520 --> 01:38:00,920
large number of people in our community that would care about this particular rule and how it

1238
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:07,760
affects how it affects future development of those wilderness areas but it's not really

1239
01:38:07,760 --> 01:38:13,560
relative to, that's not our, it's not our message to Jaya, thanks. You're purely just making sure everyone knows itself.

1240
01:38:13,660 --> 01:38:18,240
It's open now because they opened it without a lot of fanfare, you know, intentionally.

1241
01:38:18,540 --> 01:38:22,220
I heard about a three-naco, and he knows a midnight of the twenty first.

1242
01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:29,220
Midnight of the twenty first. Thank you, Shana. So as far as my schedule is concerned, this evening,

1243
01:38:29,540 --> 01:38:36,900
I will be missing the Alliance Board meeting in order to attend the San Juan Basin Triple A Board meeting.

1244
01:38:36,900 --> 01:38:44,000
we are having an update and preparation for our presentation on the 24th to reach a nine, making sure

1245
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:49,260
that we are checking along nicely. We will be working with Laura's today. We will have both

1246
01:38:49,260 --> 01:38:55,860
either venture and firm director physically in person as well as Laura Strother from the State Union

1247
01:38:55,860 --> 01:39:03,020
on Aging will be online in order for us to have a full board understanding of where we are and where

1248
01:39:03,020 --> 01:39:05,380
going in preparation of that presentation?

1249
01:39:07,860 --> 01:39:11,620
Do I need to do I need to assist with, I talked to

1250
01:39:11,620 --> 01:39:18,300
Commissioner Anson last week, and he was trying to see about the

1251
01:39:18,300 --> 01:39:21,160
potential where the AAA discussion for regional

1252
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:25,740
be laying, lying on the agenda. Do I need to do some

1253
01:39:25,740 --> 01:39:28,280
outreach? I have not yet but what more than happy to

1254
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,900
to see if maybe we can push that item up?

1255
01:39:30,900 --> 01:39:38,920
It would be helpful to make it earlier in the day. Commissioner Ranson is trying to make it to the five by five leading.

1256
01:39:39,980 --> 01:39:45,100
Right. And that would potentially open up the opportunity for him to be able to do that.

1257
01:39:46,980 --> 01:39:52,560
It would be unfortunate if he was not in the room for that discussion in decision.

1258
01:39:52,940 --> 01:39:59,980
I know I want my my request to him was I would like for him to be there because I don't want it to

1259
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:08,740
Just be you. And me on the other side, I would like to have our telecounty as well. So, okay, I will reach out to

1260
01:40:08,740 --> 01:40:13,360
regional nine and see what's going on. And at this point in time tonight's meeting, every active

1261
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:19,940
member of the Board is planning to be there. We will be adjusting some of the bylaws in order

1262
01:40:19,940 --> 01:40:22,160
to help with the designation processing.

1263
01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:29,900
So, who's on the board these days? The right now,

1264
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:31,760
I would have to pull that up.

1265
01:40:31,900 --> 01:40:32,500
Oh, that's okay.

1266
01:40:32,740 --> 01:40:33,760
But yeah, it's going to start.

1267
01:40:35,420 --> 01:40:37,560
The people mostly leaving the transition

1268
01:40:37,560 --> 01:40:39,280
our commissioner, Rancid, and myself,

1269
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:43,780
he is now the treasure I'm not the chair,

1270
01:40:44,220 --> 01:40:45,840
and we will get a secretary today,

1271
01:40:46,260 --> 01:40:47,820
which we are hoping will be commissioner,

1272
01:40:48,020 --> 01:40:49,300
Macyl, Pete Macyl.

1273
01:40:50,940 --> 01:40:53,320
And I'm just sorry, I'm going to go off of your stuff.

1274
01:40:53,580 --> 01:40:56,860
I've received just some outreach,

1275
01:40:56,860 --> 01:41:02,060
And so I have reached to regionally and spoke on the exitums.

1276
01:41:03,060 --> 01:41:08,880
And so I have no concerns moving forward, but Laura Lewis Morechino.

1277
01:41:10,460 --> 01:41:13,000
She is, I asked those questions that I was hearing.

1278
01:41:13,260 --> 01:41:14,540
And so things are looking good.

1279
01:41:14,660 --> 01:41:16,740
She will also make the board meeting this evening.

1280
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:21,520
So we're really just doing the groundwork in order to make the transition

1281
01:41:22,300 --> 01:41:24,240
as likely as possible.

1282
01:41:24,240 --> 01:41:30,280
And if it is going to occur, and we'll know at the end of September, we want to make it as smooth as possible.

1283
01:41:30,540 --> 01:41:31,120
Absolutely.

1284
01:41:33,340 --> 01:41:42,420
So in addition to that tomorrow evening, I am with the Colorado Department of Labor and employment with the workforce development group.

1285
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:51,060
I last week got to tour our regional workforce development center, which interestingly enough, they handle between 150 and 400.

1286
01:41:52,380 --> 01:41:59,020
at folks every single month. That was an incredible number of people. We talked with them about

1287
01:41:59,020 --> 01:42:04,500
potentially working with our new veterans. A fairs officer in order to be able to help

1288
01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:10,620
do a little more outreach with our veterans community. So it was just a, I suggest going and

1289
01:42:10,620 --> 01:42:18,420
see it if you get an opportunity to, they have a brand new location up in the tech center. They do

1290
01:42:18,420 --> 01:42:25,320
incredible work. This is that that group that's, you know, predominantly post-secondary education,

1291
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:30,540
that is not traditional higher education. It's just really getting people into the workforce.

1292
01:42:31,440 --> 01:42:36,680
So tomorrow evening we will have that discussion. There still is the post-secondary talent

1293
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:42,720
pipeline occurring that the committee is occurring at the state level. They are trying to consolidate

1294
01:42:42,720 --> 01:42:49,100
roughly 20 departments into one single department with an interesting choice, I believe, my

1295
01:42:49,100 --> 01:42:54,700
work governor to want to do this in the 11th hour, only to leave it for someone else to have to

1296
01:42:54,700 --> 01:43:01,940
pick up. I'm not sure how beneficial that kind of rushed decision making was and we saw this

1297
01:43:01,940 --> 01:43:08,220
with the health departments as well, but we'll have more information after tomorrow's governance meeting.

1298
01:43:08,220 --> 01:43:12,140
For next week, Labor Day on Monday,

1299
01:43:14,160 --> 01:43:16,100
and we'll be the last week, it's the last week and

1300
01:43:16,100 --> 01:43:17,880
of late night horse being open, I believe.

1301
01:43:19,940 --> 01:43:26,320
And so after that, I have a handful of things that are happening next week, but a key

1302
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:32,280
one is I believe all, I will be gone all day Thursday at the Alliance Summit.

1303
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:39,200
I believe commissioner or chair Salka is speaking as well as myself for different reasons.

1304
01:43:40,300 --> 01:43:42,280
Commissioner Porter-Norton will you be attending?

1305
01:43:42,380 --> 01:43:45,600
I will because of the color and commission of the guinea fairs.

1306
01:43:45,900 --> 01:43:46,280
Oh, okay.

1307
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:46,960
So that's right.

1308
01:43:47,300 --> 01:43:50,360
I was like, well, I figure you all were going so perfectly.

1309
01:43:50,460 --> 01:43:56,460
And I have had to miss, I think, two meetings out of our last six and I just want to miss those.

1310
01:43:56,500 --> 01:43:56,800
Okay.

1311
01:43:56,800 --> 01:43:58,360
Do you have anything going on with the tribes?

1312
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:05,520
So the kick-up, and then next Friday I have, I know I'm sort of speaking far out, but you know,

1313
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:11,460
since we don't have, since I have some time to talk with some people about this between now and then,

1314
01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:22,500
last July, a federal bill, Congress passed the most consequential pro housing bill in the last 30 years.

1315
01:44:22,500 --> 01:44:35,020
Even though it is a federal bill, the work and the rewards are in local hands, I will be attending a meeting of the Permit lab, which is a subsidiary of the Abundance Network.

1316
01:44:35,920 --> 01:44:43,620
And the Permit lab is helping us better understand how we can access the benefits of this federal bill.

1317
01:44:43,620 --> 01:44:49,580
There is funding that comes with it, there is a variety of different components to it.

1318
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:51,820
It seemingly is very, very complex.

1319
01:44:52,540 --> 01:44:56,160
I am allowed to bring one staff member if anyone would like to attend,

1320
01:44:57,800 --> 01:44:59,980
but everyone has to be approved to be met in.

1321
01:45:00,340 --> 01:45:07,420
It is going to be a paraland working group that starts this week. And there are six sessions.

1322
01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:15,920
We're going to dig down and figure out how we can, if we, if we can, want, and if we want to benefit from this new federal law.

1323
01:45:16,260 --> 01:45:19,740
So I have a request. Do you, can you take notes?

1324
01:45:19,860 --> 01:45:24,140
Because we are talking about this on the 17th of the RHA Board meeting. Perfect.

1325
01:45:24,140 --> 01:45:29,020
And Maya got somebody, I honestly, I think it might have been somebody from Housing

1326
01:45:29,020 --> 01:45:33,840
Colorado that's going to talk to us, because we're trying to figure out across the

1327
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:37,940
four jurisdictions, how to leverage grants, and who applies for what, so we're not

1328
01:45:37,940 --> 01:45:42,760
duplicating, but if you just have, I don't even care if it's handwritten or typed up or

1329
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:48,040
A.I. notes, but just like I can, I can plug in some ideas from that to the R.H.A.

1330
01:45:48,140 --> 01:45:48,580
Great.

1331
01:45:48,860 --> 01:45:49,220
Absolutely.

1332
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:50,440
Happy to do it.

1333
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:52,160
Okay.

1334
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:52,900
So that's it.

1335
01:45:52,900 --> 01:45:58,260
Great. Thank you. Since you were going through that, there's two items here. I wanted to just

1336
01:45:58,260 --> 01:46:03,400
update you all on. And that is, thank you for the alliance mentioned of that.

1337
01:46:04,480 --> 01:46:11,400
The message for the panel that I'm on is, this is my title, not theirs, but like,

1338
01:46:11,420 --> 01:46:16,840
common ground. It's like, how did we move forward with 1, 2, 3 with common ground, working with

1339
01:46:16,840 --> 01:46:30,740
Commissioner Brown, myself and Emily and with with Senator Simpson and representative Stewart of how can we find a way to make or implement updates to be the process of working on both sides of the aisle.

1340
01:46:31,340 --> 01:46:38,500
So it's really today I have a meeting with Commissioner Brown and Emily to be able to fine tune that message.

1341
01:46:38,500 --> 01:46:42,100
but looking forward to that panel, panel time.

1342
01:46:42,540 --> 01:46:48,200
Commissioners tomorrow is the deadline for Monday's agenda items.

1343
01:46:48,300 --> 01:46:50,280
So please submit anything that you have.

1344
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:54,280
I have office hours tomorrow afternoon at the Bay of Field Library,

1345
01:46:54,460 --> 01:46:56,380
kind of a library from board of six.

1346
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:59,440
So I look forward to anyone that's interested to speak with me.

1347
01:46:59,460 --> 01:47:00,760
I will be there.

1348
01:47:01,480 --> 01:47:05,060
And then I am the chair of the self-assaving solutions board.

1349
01:47:05,060 --> 01:47:08,800
And there's been some revamping going on

1350
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:10,720
and on the administration side.

1351
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:12,460
And so I will be interviewing.

1352
01:47:12,740 --> 01:47:15,240
So I will not be in the office tomorrow morning for a bit.

1353
01:47:15,780 --> 01:47:19,520
I will be interviewing three applicants for finance,

1354
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:22,320
finance director slash deputy manager.

1355
01:47:23,080 --> 01:47:25,660
And so looking forward to reviewing the applicants

1356
01:47:25,660 --> 01:47:32,000
and seeing about fulfilling a necessary position to assist

1357
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:36,580
with missile kind on working selfless housing solutions.

1358
01:47:37,580 --> 01:47:38,380
And that's all I have now.

1359
01:47:39,280 --> 01:47:39,980
All right.

1360
01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:43,240
Any other items before I call this?

1361
01:47:44,180 --> 01:47:45,540
One more.

1362
01:47:46,060 --> 01:47:46,680
All right.

1363
01:47:46,900 --> 01:47:47,300
Apologies.

1364
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:52,860
I did reach out to Larry Z of the L-Wab.

1365
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:55,500
They will take up writing a letter,

1366
01:47:55,820 --> 01:47:58,680
so we may want to switch our interests

1367
01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:04,360
in this month's off end because what we don't want to do is ask them to do something and

1368
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:10,320
then sort of undermine them by a message and so if we want to have a quick discussion

1369
01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:13,600
or bring potential items forward to Matt over them.

1370
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:19,460
Let's think about it too. Let's talk about it. That is a item to submit of next letter.

1371
01:48:19,660 --> 01:48:22,000
Maybe we can do that underneath the origin item.

1372
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:25,820
What they had thought about based on the biceido person.

1373
01:48:26,300 --> 01:48:27,680
We don't have one.

1374
01:48:28,660 --> 01:48:31,200
So, I'm stuck in the op that.

1375
01:48:31,260 --> 01:48:35,200
One thing I thought about, remember the gentleman that I think he was what struck me

1376
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:40,800
at biceido is I don't think he was feeling to me like he was coming from some big political view point

1377
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:42,500
but he's concerned about the elections.

1378
01:48:43,260 --> 01:48:45,040
And I wondered about safe elections.

1379
01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:47,600
Oh, that's really good.

1380
01:48:48,540 --> 01:49:03,040
the Supreme Court in light of the attack on mail and voting in light on the email. We could talk about where our voting booths are. What happens if you're harassing and timidated there is a hotline.

1381
01:49:03,180 --> 01:49:13,820
Is where we I don't know what we want to put in there, but there's a hotline that outside groups are offering as well as pull watching and then there is a hotline from the secretary state.

1382
01:49:13,820 --> 01:49:20,180
And it certainly did recently release a press release that would be helpful for us to get

1383
01:49:20,180 --> 01:49:27,600
possibly include her, including her votes and, oh yeah, and her, yeah, and her, yep, you know,

1384
01:49:27,660 --> 01:49:30,160
uncomfortable reputation precedes her.

1385
01:49:30,400 --> 01:49:30,500
Yeah.

1386
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:35,760
What are we doing locally to ensure that we have fair, open, safe?

1387
01:49:36,480 --> 01:49:41,000
That was a concerning question that me on asked because I felt like it wasn't, they

1388
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:42,900
I feel like he was trying to grind and act.

1389
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,060
He was more like, are my elections safe?

1390
01:49:45,440 --> 01:49:46,400
Am I safe?

1391
01:49:47,700 --> 01:49:51,280
Commissioner Soka, as you draft this, I will see two days ago,

1392
01:49:52,180 --> 01:49:55,300
Colorado Public Radio had a wonderful interview

1393
01:49:55,300 --> 01:49:57,940
with the President of the Clarks Association.

1394
01:49:58,900 --> 01:49:59,980
And it was a pretty extensive...

1395
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:08,940
The interview more of the listening to help explain why Colorado has slightly more protections than some other.

1396
01:50:09,340 --> 01:50:14,760
I didn't realize we have the second highest voter turnout of any state in the United States.

1397
01:50:15,000 --> 01:50:21,700
That is incredible. Who are people? Also, and I know this organization has a little bit of bells and whistles with it for some people.

1398
01:50:21,700 --> 01:50:27,060
But because I was trying to figure out, okay, from the vaseto meeting, what happens if a voter

1399
01:50:27,060 --> 01:50:31,700
is intimidated, where they go, and there's a Secretary of State, but there's also ACOU

1400
01:50:31,700 --> 01:50:34,720
has an entire list of resources.

1401
01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:39,820
And then ballot track, people can use ballot track, and I mean, all of this is on all this

1402
01:50:39,820 --> 01:50:40,080
stuff.

1403
01:50:40,440 --> 01:50:43,120
But it's a lot to write if you're willing to take that on.

1404
01:50:43,460 --> 01:50:44,780
And we only have so many words.

1405
01:50:47,060 --> 01:50:47,540
Yeah.

1406
01:50:47,560 --> 01:50:47,840
Yeah, true.

1407
