The San Miguel County Board of County Commissioners convened on May 21, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including financial approvals and community updates. The meeting began with a motion to approve a financial adjustment for the Dolores County School District, specifically addressing an error in the certification of the mill levy. The board unanimously approved a bond payment of $35,456 due on June 1, 2025, highlighting the importance of rectifying the scrivener's error.

Following this financial discussion, the commissioners shifted focus to community matters. One commissioner provided an update on the local immigrant community, noting that most immigrant-serving organizations reported stable participation levels. However, Strong Start, an organization supporting families, indicated a decline in applications, particularly from immigrant families, prompting a call for enhanced outreach efforts.

The meeting also included an update on the airport board's recent discussions regarding the Southside development project. This initiative aims to expand airport facilities, including the construction of additional hangars for private use. The project, estimated at $9.5 million, is expected to cost the regional authority only $2 million due to substantial federal funding, with no debt anticipated.

In closing, the commissioners planned to reconvene later in the day to consult with legal counsel on pending matters. Overall, the meeting underscored the board's commitment to addressing community needs and managing local infrastructure projects effectively.
