You get 90 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,839 the water each meeting, each month. So, 91 00:09:11,839 --> 00:09:14,320 I didn't really want to rehash the calls 92 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,080 we had specifically. This is more kind 93 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,720 of just an overview. 94 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,640 The department inits is respond to 95 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,160 approximately 1,800 calls in 2025.

No, that doesn't mean we wrote 99 00:09:31,279 --> 00:09:33,120 1,800 reports. That's just calls for 100 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,560 service or something that we have radio 101 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:36,959 traffic law. 102 00:09:36,959 --> 00:09:40,080 2025 was also the first year since 2019 103 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,760 that the department brought on new 104 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,399 officers. This represents progress of 105 00:09:44,399 --> 00:09:46,320 staff retention and department 106 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,959 cohesiveness. It's a department our 107 00:09:48,959 --> 00:09:51,200 size. 108 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,279 It's very resource intensive to bring on 109 00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:56,240 new people, run them through an FTO, to 110 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,839 buy them new equipment. So, um to the 111 00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:01,760 best of our ability, if we can maintain 112 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,160 staff and keep those teams together, 113 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,600 that tends to pay dividends, not just 114 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,920 financially, but each year that that 115 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,600 group is together, they get more 116 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,120 familiar with each other. They work 117 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,959 better together. And that's kind of just 118 00:10:12,959 --> 00:10:15,920 a team set 119 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,720 officers completed approximately 472 120 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,360 hours of training in 2025. That training 121 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,160 includes statemandated training um 122 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,720 through post as well as policymandated 123 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,040 training. 124 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,440 We utilize a blend of inservice online 125 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,920 and classroom training. So you know that training line item that you guys 126 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,399 see in budget workshops each year. If we 127 00:10:38,399 --> 00:10:40,160 send somebody to another agency's 128 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,959 training, that's what we use that for. 129 00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:44,959 We also have some grant money. We use 130 00:10:44,959 --> 00:10:47,360 grant money as well. We don't apply for 131 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,279 grants to get their birth training sense 132 00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:51,040 who. But 133 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,040 the officers here attend a fair amount 134 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,640 of training. We also have a lot of 135 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,320 instructors on staff. So it makes us a 136 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,680 lot easier for us to get those 137 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,279 postmandate trainings particularly when 138 00:11:01,279 --> 00:11:04,240 it comes to driving, rest control, and 139 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,920 firearms. We do a lot of that in house 140 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,279 which is also very helpful for us 141 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:10,640 and for the first time in three years 142 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,399 the town had a municipal court docket 143 00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:14,720 every month using municipal court as a 144 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:15,760 venue has been valuable to both 145 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,519 defendants [snorts] victims and 146 00:11:17,519 --> 00:11:21,600 officers. Um when I first started 147 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,320 we were going skipping a month or going 148 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,720 two months with municipal court because 149 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,720 we weren't writing as much in municipal 150 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,040 court. Now that we have our municipal 151 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,720 court up and running, that process has 152 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,200 become much more streamlined. 153 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,760 Some of the changes we've made to our 154 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,320 own has kind of allowed us to write more 155 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,399 things into municipal court as well. But 156 00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:44,079 it's been really well received, not just 157 00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:47,600 by victims, but also by defendants and 158 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,959 the officers. We're not having to drive 159 00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:51,279 to Delta. We're not having to utilize 160 00:11:51,279 --> 00:11:52,720 district attorney's office, use their 161 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,839 time. They're very busy. So when we can 162 00:11:55,839 --> 00:11:57,839 utilize municipal support, it it really 163 00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:02,240 is better for everybody involved. And so 164 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,839 it was a goal of ours. I'm very happy to 165 00:12:03,839 --> 00:12:08,639 see the municipal courts being utilized. 166 00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:10,800 >> Any questions for the chief? 167 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,279 >> Sure. 168 00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:13,040 >> One question kind of out of left field, 169 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,279 but I'm just wondering if you'd have any 170 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:18,240 progress on where to take animals as far 171 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,200 as Royce and if that's 172 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,839 there. 173 00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:27,200 To the best of my knowledge, u 174 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,639 we don't currently have access to the 175 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:30,079 voice source channels and I'm not sure 176 00:12:30,079 --> 00:12:34,310 those are going to be 177 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,959 utilized all this year and I believe 178 00:12:36,959 --> 00:12:40,000 there are some talks to perhaps utilize 179 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,519 some morning or some kennel services 180 00:12:41,519 --> 00:12:44,079 that are in Ridgeway 181 00:12:44,079 --> 00:12:46,720 possibly non trails but given the 182 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,000 distance I'm not sure that would be 183 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,600 feasible for us except in emergency 184 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,519 situations 185 00:12:51,519 --> 00:12:53,120 we were making progress with the Royce 186 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,040 Tur, but again, I'm not sure that's 187 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,519 going to be viable 188 00:12:57,519 --> 00:12:59,760 2026. 189 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,920 Thank you.

We had some 212 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,720 emergency living removal that were 213 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,880 becoming dangerous. Here's a before and 214 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,199 after. Sorry, they're from the opposite 215 00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:09,279 sides of the street. Um, but those 216 00:14:09,279 --> 00:14:11,360 branches that are hanging down, that are 217 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,440 starting to curl down, um, when those 218 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,920 get weight on them, they snap. So, they 219 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,279 took those off because it was hanging 220 00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:19,600 over Third Street. Um, there's also a 221 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,920 good picture on the next one. This one 222 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,639 did snap and it was too high for us to 223 00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:27,760 reach. See, it's completely vertical 224 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,360 there. That was another one we had to 225 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,120 call someone in to get it. 226 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,560 Um, that was a pretty big one for trees. 227 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,240 uh parks. We are working with a 228 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,480 landscape company 229 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,760 to get us an estimate to redo the park 230 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,600 sprinklers and pump house that's on the 231 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,720 capital improvement project uh or plan 232 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,639 which we ended up getting that back. So 233 00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:52,560 that'll be in January's report but we 234 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,880 got a little bit more work to do on it. 235 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,880 Um trash 236 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,680 they have finished the initial 237 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,000 construction for the del compost project 238 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,040 out at Twin Lakes. Uh, I didn't have a 239 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,480 picture of it completely finished, but 240 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,199 we put some dirt in there that we can 241 00:15:09,199 --> 00:15:11,680 drive up on it. Um, so the lip isn't 242 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,040 there anymore. There is a 243 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,519 plan to hide it kind of like we were 244 00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:19,920 talking about before with a larger 245 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,920 banner stand that we could put something 246 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,079 with, you know, possibly welcome to 247 00:15:24,079 --> 00:15:26,320 payon with our logo, things of that 248 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,360 sort. 249 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,279 um they're going to start building the 250 00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:31,360 structure and then we will probably 251 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,279 bring this back to what do we want on 252 00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:34,639 those banners?

I think that was probably the 258 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,360 second time public works was actually 259 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,759 able to all get together and training. 260 00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:58,389 So it was pretty big feet 261 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,639 questions.

So, we uh went into a 355 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,559 contract with 356 00:54:52,559 --> 00:54:56,000 oh my gosh Leslie Clusmeer with her 357 00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,240 company to do a code rewrite and it was 358 00:54:58,240 --> 00:55:01,359 as pretty pretty entire code rewrite 359 00:55:01,359 --> 00:55:03,920 we've gotten some of the 360 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,040 um code rewrite in a larger sense but 361 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:12,720 because of the desire to have our 362 00:55:12,720 --> 00:55:16,720 chapter 16 land use comport with our 363 00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:20,079 recently adopted comprehensive plan. The 364 00:55:20,079 --> 00:55:24,720 request is to extend this contract until 365 00:55:24,720 --> 00:55:26,800 June, which the Department of Local 366 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,640 Affairs is is okay with us doing. Uh 367 00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:32,559 originally the contract was going to end 368 00:55:32,559 --> 00:55:34,559 January 31st, but Stephan had some 369 00:55:34,559 --> 00:55:36,640 discussions with Department of Local 370 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:37,839 Affairs and they said, you know, if you 371 00:55:37,839 --> 00:55:39,359 need more time, please write us a letter 372 00:55:39,359 --> 00:55:41,760 and let us know. So, he would like to 373 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,720 ask for more time to June 30th. No, no 374 00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:47,200 additional money is being asked for. Um 375 00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,200 he wrote in his report that there is 376 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,440 $9,78.15 377 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,079 remaining in the grant and the town also 378 00:55:54,079 --> 00:55:56,960 has to provide a 50% match. So there's 379 00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,799 still close to $20,000 in the grant. And 380 00:56:00,799 --> 00:56:03,359 um Stephan feels that that is enough to 381 00:56:03,359 --> 00:56:06,160 get a pretty 382 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:09,680 uh discussion ready changes to chapter 383 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,079 16. And then I'll add that I've looked 384 00:56:12,079 --> 00:56:13,680 at some of the other chapters that she 385 00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:16,319 had proposed changes to and they can 386 00:56:16,319 --> 00:56:18,480 come forward in the future as well in in 387 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,799 a lot of cases as she had proposed 388 00:56:20,799 --> 00:56:22,559 because some of it is just a cleanup 389 00:56:22,559 --> 00:56:24,720 that's not a huge amount of difference 390 00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:27,599 in approach so we could have more code 391 00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:30,160 rewrite in the future. But Stephan felt 392 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:34,319 like this was worthy of um staff 393 00:56:34,319 --> 00:56:36,480 uh 394 00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,160 hard looks is the word I'm looking for the staff to really focus in on 395 00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,440 chapter 16 as a comprehensive plan. So 396 00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,359 I'm sure there's stuff that Stephanie 397 00:56:45,359 --> 00:56:47,599 would add, but I think if that you know 398 00:56:47,599 --> 00:56:49,839 please ask any questions and I'm gonna 399 00:56:49,839 --> 00:56:52,559 also give the the public online and in 400 00:56:52,559 --> 00:56:54,480 the room the opportunity to ask any 401 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,319 question or to speak for three minutes 402 00:56:56,319 --> 00:56:59,920 on this topic as well. So maybe I'll do 403 00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:01,760 that right now if anyone in the room 404 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,440 would like to speak about extending the 405 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:05,920 DOA grant for code rewrite or anyone 406 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:10,000 online.

Okay. 407 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,920 So with that, if the trustees would like 408 00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:19,190 to ask questions, discuss 409 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:20,720 questions. 410 00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:27,829 Okay. Well, I'd like to make a motion 411 00:57:27,839 --> 00:57:30,160 » move to approve the grant extension 412 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,480 request with DOA 413 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,319 uh for EIA AFA 00278 and allow the mayor 414 00:57:36,319 --> 00:57:38,319 to submit the necessary letter to DOA 415 00:57:38,319 --> 00:57:40,240 requesting the extension. 416 00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,359 >> I'll second. 417 00:57:43,359 --> 00:57:45,440 >> I second it.

That passes 421 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,599 unanimously. Now, the next one is 422 00:57:51,599 --> 00:57:53,280 consideration of approval of the 423 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,040 intergovernmental agreement with Delta 424 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:58,160 County elections for the April 7th, 2026 425 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,319 municipal elections. And I will turn 426 00:58:00,319 --> 00:58:04,319 that over to clerk better. 427 00:58:04,319 --> 00:58:07,200 >> Um, so this is just basic housekeeping 428 00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:10,240 for once. We won't be turning it in at 429 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:14,160 the last hour, which is nice for me. Um, 430 00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:15,839 I also want to make it clear. I mean, 431 00:58:15,839 --> 00:58:18,160 right now we have eight packets out. 432 00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:20,400 We've had three come back to go back out 433 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:25,119 to be cured one um sufficient candidate 434 00:58:25,119 --> 00:58:28,000 so far. So there's always a possibility 435 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,480 still to you know if we only get five 436 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,240 people we could do a resolution and 437 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:34,160 cancel the election but there's stuff 438 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:37,359 built into place. So signing this today 439 00:58:37,359 --> 00:58:40,559 shouldn't affect that in the future um 440 00:58:40,559 --> 00:58:44,079 as long as our timing is right. So, 441 00:58:44,079 --> 00:58:46,480 >> um, and other than that, we just need to 442 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:47,599 get it over there so they know that 443 00:58:47,599 --> 00:58:49,280 we're going to take part because, um, 444 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,200 communities split the costs of 445 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,319 elections. So 446 00:58:54,319 --> 00:58:55,920 >> that was a question of what you just 447 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,880 said. So you got and this is these are 448 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:02,079 for the vacancies of the board and so 449 00:59:02,079 --> 00:59:04,160 you said you got three two had to go 450 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:05,599 back for curing 451 00:59:05,599 --> 00:59:07,440 >> kind of what are 452 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:11,680 >> okay so you um the election packet they 453 00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:13,359 come and they pick up a packet and they 454 00:59:13,359 --> 00:59:15,599 have to return a candidate affidavit 455 00:59:15,599 --> 00:59:17,839 declaring their candidacy and you have 456 00:59:17,839 --> 00:59:21,040 to take a petition out and get at least 457 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,160 10 signature 10 valid signatures on it 458 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,799 and so I've had eight people pick up 459 00:59:26,799 --> 00:59:31,359 packets. I've had three come back. Um, 460 00:59:31,359 --> 00:59:34,079 one I imagine she'll probably be here 461 00:59:34,079 --> 00:59:35,680 tomorrow to take care of the one thing 462 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,839 that she needs to do for her petition. 463 00:59:37,839 --> 00:59:40,400 Um, another one I had to um take 464 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,000 invalidate a couple of signatures 465 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,520 because they didn't match voter 466 00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:45,520 registrations. So, they just have to 467 00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,599 bring me in a new thing with a few more 468 00:59:47,599 --> 00:59:49,599 signatures that are valid. Um, so that's 469 00:59:49,599 --> 00:59:52,160 what I mean by curing. um just because 470 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:54,880 they have those are prerequisites for um 471 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,040 actually declaring themselves as a 472 00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,200 candidate. 473 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,079 Um I'll also say that as as I was 474 01:00:02,079 --> 01:00:05,839 reading through uh the exhibits 475 01:00:05,839 --> 01:00:08,079 um yeah the question was going through 476 01:00:08,079 --> 01:00:10,400 my mind if people mail things in there's 477 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,880 postmark issue which is just being 478 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:17,440 discussed now um as to whether um things 479 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,319 that come in on the postmark are really 480 01:00:20,319 --> 01:00:23,760 going to count unless the postal office 481 01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:26,400 validates that. But I don't think the 482 01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:27,839 kinds of things that they're talking 483 01:00:27,839 --> 01:00:31,359 about right now would apply just yet. 484 01:00:31,359 --> 01:00:34,880 Okay. Yeah, that's um and I guess I was 485 01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:37,119 just like it it'd be good to be prepared 486 01:00:37,119 --> 01:00:38,880 to make sure we know the right answer to 487 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,240 that question if it comes up. 488 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,720 >> Well, who that is going to affect is 489 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,200 going to be um Delta County elections. 490 01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:48,559 They're the ones that mail out the 491 01:00:48,559 --> 01:00:50,160 ballots, receive them back and do the 492 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,319 counting. It's one of the reasons 493 01:00:52,319 --> 01:00:54,319 there's built-in time for that. It's one 494 01:00:54,319 --> 01:00:56,880 of the reasons why we wouldn't swear in 495 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,359 new people until the second meeting of 496 01:00:59,359 --> 01:01:01,359 April, whether we have an election or 497 01:01:01,359 --> 01:01:03,520 not, because you have to certify an 498 01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:05,440 election within 10 days.

Um and then I do 502 01:01:14,079 --> 01:01:15,680 believe it's built into statute to where 503 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:16,960 there's just a certain point if you mail 504 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:18,799 your ballot too late, you're just kind 505 01:01:18,799 --> 01:01:21,119 of in a trouble. that most overseas 506 01:01:21,119 --> 01:01:23,040 stuff goes out actually before other 507 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:25,599 ballots do.
