County Attorney Cynthia Mitchell described the request during the meeting: \"There have been several Medicaid transportation service providers in Pueblo County that have had their role enrollment suspended and also have not been paid by the state for services that they have provided,\" she said, explaining the proposed letter would be sent to the state's Health Care Policy and Financing office, Policy and Compliance, and Finance divisions.

Commissioners said they were sympathetic and agreed the county should advocate for providers who are compliant with federal, state and local laws. One commissioner said some providers had been swept up in investigations despite passing reviews and were now at financial risk because they continued to provide services without payment. Another commissioner noted the critical nature of nonemergency medical transportation to community members and supported asking the state to release funds to providers.

Following discussion, a commissioner moved to approve item 3(a); another commissioner seconded, and the motion carried. The meeting record shows the board's action was to approve the resolution authorizing the letter of support; no additional motions or follow-up tasks were specified in the transcript.

The county did not record a vote tally in the transcript beyond the motion carrying. The transcript also did not specify individual provider names, the number of providers affected, or the dollar amount of unpaid invoices; those details are not specified in the meeting record.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pueblo County BOCC Meeting 5/15/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Pueblo County Board of County Commissioners voted to send a letter to state health officials asking that suspended nonemergency medical transportation providers who are compliant be reinstated and paid for legitimately billed services.","taxTitle","Pueblo County, Colorado","taxId",4963,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6055008,"Pueblo County approves $70,567 in property tax abatements and accepts April financial reports",167,72000,239000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3322604-23aa80911cc523f1dfed9ff4b7a6b0b9&start=72&end=239","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3322604-23aa80911cc523f1dfed9ff4b7a6b0b9/thumbnail_72000.jpg","/articles/6055008/Pueblo-County/Colorado/Pueblo-County-approves-70567-in-property-tax-abatements-and-accepts-April-financial-reports","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6055008-a36cbe9c748907300cfd665ceb108f8d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143051&Signature=UDJdDWTC9ZADmwoH~c8HZRX8LjcaYzos0fP~cl2VCjohSvldPpIYV5ORcVDVOfwqe6kSOP1Aewrqnm4pVQbWKQ1WK1omt6agUK~Xvlr0VgxFbpy0RYnxN0qxF6-bt8LqcXrSVQ8H0WUUIcNNN4d5PyiUF9IJmI-glJYtL08YPGXoh5R4tX4esHHYPfrGnssUReGNcCkGE9GLCmJ3NGFLLwQnQT2h7YVgwXGDw2-wsjmRNXX4fU9LcTIVB2KTlRBNUAYD653WItr2tN6SfgMItCoucUnTakisBsr1OxjPjyIPjM1DjdOMgT4j53lxRe1ppNwJ1j~XRCkFyMFdwb9EjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pueblo County Board of County Commissioners approved a consent agenda on May 15 that included property tax abatements totaling $70,567.18 and the filing of the Pueblo County Treasurer's statement of fees for April 2025 and the Pueblo County Trustee quarterly report for the first quarter of 2025.

County Attorney Cynthia Mitchell told commissioners that items 2(a) through 2(j) on the consent agenda were abatements for property taxes and that the total amount abated was $70,567.18. Mitchell said the abatements were for a mix of reasons, including properties exempted by the DPT and classification changes.

Mitchell also noted a few specifics discussed during the presentation: one abatement of about $33,000 was the result of a state exemption, and another abatement of roughly $11,000 followed a hearing that reduced the assessed value of a mobile home park. She added that some abatements reflected classification changes, for example from vacant to residential status, and that the county abates properties after the DPT processes exemptions.

A representative from the assessor's office was present for questions, according to Mitchell. Commissioners voted to accept and file the treasurer and trustee reports and then approved the consent agenda containing the abatements; the motion carried.

The actions taken were procedural: acceptance and filing of financial reports and formal approval of the listed abatements. No additional budget reallocations, appeals outcomes beyond the amounts cited, or follow-up tasks were recorded in the meeting minutes.

The board adjourned after routine public- and commissioner-comment items and set its next meeting for May 20.","The Pueblo County Board of County Commissioners approved a consent agenda including property tax abatements totaling $70,567.18 and accepted the county treasurer and trustee reports for April and the first quarter of 2025.","actionData","errors"]
