Mayor and Council:
The following is my report for the current term:
• I attended the CCCMA, Colorado City and County Management Association, Conference April
25-28, 2023 in Glenwood Springs, CO. The conference was very educational and informative
and a great way to connect and network with city managers and county administrators
throughout the state. I was asked to present a leadership training that was very well received.
• The City has received the $1.8M payment from Vero for the fiber lease.
• The City Council retreat was a success, and Council was able to get a lot done setting and
updating their priorities for the City.
• A meeting was held with DOLA Local Government Division Director Chantal Unfug regarding
the City again being able to apply for DOLA grants, and grants administered through DOLA. It
was decided that since the City has completed the audits through 2020 and should be caught up
on the 2021 and 2022 audits by this fall, we are now able to apply for grant funding during the
next cycle, however, if we are awarded any grants, payment could be delayed until all audits
are complete.
• The City will be installing a barrier this week at the end of N. Adams St, a dead-end street off
of Montezuma Ave. to the east of City Market. N. Adams St. is being used as an unauthorized
through street across private property to access Main St., thus causing an inordinate amount of
traffic on a dead-end residential street. Information regarding this change is being shared with
the affected property owners, and the public at large.
