The Grand County Board of County Commissioners convened on January 7, 2025, to address various community concerns and administrative matters. The meeting began with public comments, highlighting significant issues affecting local residents.

One resident, Bryce McCall, raised concerns about a nearby junkyard, referred to as "Dilly Docks," alleging that it operates without proper inspections or compliance with county regulations. McCall criticized the county's handling of local businesses, suggesting favoritism and a lack of enforcement that could jeopardize community safety. He expressed frustration over perceived corruption within the commission and urged the new commissioner to avoid becoming part of a system he described as corrupt.

Following McCall's comments, Mariette McGrath announced an upcoming Law Enforcement Appreciation Day on January 9, inviting the community to a service at Winter Park Christian Church on January 12. She emphasized the importance of recognizing law enforcement officers and their contributions to the community, encouraging residents to participate in honoring them.

The meeting also included inquiries about the public's ability to comment during upcoming public hearings, with assurances provided that opportunities for input would be available.

As the meeting progressed, the commissioners moved on to administrative business, including discussions on departmental contracts and issues. The session underscored ongoing community concerns regarding local governance and the need for transparency and accountability in county operations. The board's next steps will likely involve addressing the issues raised by residents and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
