TJ Bunker, who identified himself as Good Citizen Media and as a local resident, told the board he had emailed details and said there are security concerns tied to staff departures in the sheriff’s office and that cameras at a Department of Human Services facility \"haven't worked there for over a year.\" Bunker asked county leaders to follow up on those issues.

Marguerite Schreiber, a resident of Navajo, asked the board about road safety on County Road 510, saying \"there's no lines in the middle\" and asking what residents should do to get the road restriped and whether a streetlight could be installed at the 510 entrance. Commissioners said they would raise striping at an upcoming Transportation Planning Region meeting with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and that the county would pursue striping; they cautioned that installation of a streetlight may require coordination with CDOT and other agencies.

Multiple speakers raised concerns about ICE detention facilities being located in the county and used the words \"concentration camps\" in their remarks. D. May Sandoval and Paula Pitia David expressed strong concern about the potential of detention centers in Huerfano County and asked the board to pursue state-level action or local protections. Daniel (last name not specified) and other commenters alleged federal facilities may block outside oversight.

Kristen McCall, participating by phone, told the board counties and cities can opt out of intergovernmental service agreements and described the IGSAs as a mechanism relevant to local decision-making. \"Counties and cities have the choice to opt out of... intergovernmental service agreements,\" McCall said. In response, a commissioner said he was not familiar with the specific statute and that he would \"have to look into that.\" Another commissioner responded to an allegation of existing facilities by saying, \"I know of no concentration camp,\" and several commissioners described the county's authority over the issue as limited.

No formal action or policy change on ICE facilities, IGSAs, road striping or DHS camera repairs was taken at the meeting. Commissioners said they would take public comments under advisement and staff would look into the legal and procedural questions raised by commenters, including whether an IGSA applies in any particular circumstance and whether CDOT coordination is required for road or lighting work.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BOCC Meeting 072225","oneSentenceSummary","Residents used the public-comment portion of the Huerfano County commissioners meeting to press officials on rumors of a proposed ICE detention facility, ask about county options to opt out of intergovernmental service agreements, and call attention to local road- and facility-safety problems.","taxTitle","Huerfano County, Colorado","taxId",27573,"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},6589878,"Huerfano County accepts Fort Orange Press proposal for ballot printing and mailing",252,155000,407000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5454814-11e8c292818de06f43c47b6da2fe87c1&start=155&end=407","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5454814-11e8c292818de06f43c47b6da2fe87c1/thumbnail_155000.jpg","/articles/6589878/Huerfano-County/Colorado/Huerfano-County-accepts-Fort-Orange-Press-proposal-for-ballot-printing-and-mailing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6589878-72ee679bdcde966d76d2a2a83a158187/orig.mp4?Expires=1771127275&Signature=e70qAsfb-2TlGcetTjHMPDc-b4KO-MO9mnxZ3y0wBzNQuovj32sqgeqOXw6UUWLjoWI5wzW1NB97uaKgI~nqeyZL7B-doKk1eDhFh6spCl6ogteXTUS9e2740I8VQMQDBtSfZ5y58fIjKoefDoTgbFBYOnOEi4qgNTP9LphCeGgPVn9scMPG8LucSh9fcDQ3GvX6~YcHPf3iSxQKJW8QeBovKM4z17ujHvtw3Epnqm3c6jae54PwDrHp9n1-3K365dIV~x4Jo3VEOBFqlxMGPNzadjs-66C70NGT3FtMQq4ZGFqxZzScm2HNA3jarDSDOqsPu2Tc8GMRrH5myIf-Mg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huerfano County Board of County Commissioners voted to accept a proposal from Fort Orange Press to print and mail ballots for upcoming elections.

Elections staff said Fort Orange Press had proposed testing color and new printing machines before production and that the vendor has worked with the county to resolve prior problems. \"They have some new premium machines and some new Other machines to test their color as well before they get it sent off to us,\" the county staff presenter said.

The staff noted the proposal’s quoted amount does not include postage. \"So it does not include our, postage. Okay. Which they they never do. They they charge us separately for our postage,\" the presenter said.

Commissioners called for a vote after a motion to accept the proposal was made and seconded. When the board voted, Commissioners Moreno, Commissioner Chen and Chairman Spooley voted yes and the motion passed.

The county did not provide in the meeting a line-item breakdown of services or the final total including postage. Staff said pricing used prior election volumes to estimate costs. No contract number or effective contract term was specified in the public discussion.","The Huerfano County commissioners voted to accept a proposal from Fort Orange Press to print and mail ballots; the quoted price excludes postage, which the county will be charged separately.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6589883,"Huerfano County raises emergency communications on-call pay to $25 per shift",224,434000,658000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5454814-11e8c292818de06f43c47b6da2fe87c1&start=434&end=658","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5454814-11e8c292818de06f43c47b6da2fe87c1/thumbnail_434000.jpg","/articles/6589883/Huerfano-County/Colorado/Huerfano-County-raises-emergency-communications-on-call-pay-to-25-per-shift","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6589883-5dda5efbd73e16a0a38657e922e8756c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771127275&Signature=Bl3I81AlL3UTnwAqouTIM20Zkfl9os6~KKiGP~h93LLH9kv848Zgp7gnitla0Y9hpxNvQad~8iy0ZifXzgnFjbHErHB4YVWm98dAwux9VhIODgPLi76RZisyx11Dv5qzLbo5bL-i4d~1vcvzEy7u5iBaxX7GRGpjJIaSxl9txpD6zmvT4EX7Tn83qF4aFcnfToEeTOGGPGFLAOpIWQo5Xa518IPmpmliLujdlTPP00R144ZeQRD~5gq5oI-UZwGq12nEdV9UsSvfgT2Fz1bJwQIV~H3XTqYeXzc2cvqYGoaXCpWcNU-QPgTjpe6aowlXqav8Ghjsr1NvKQru2i292A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huerfano County Board of County Commissioners voted to approve an update to the county’s emergency communications on-call policy that sets on-call compensation at $25 per shift and asks staff to evaluate the policy’s effectiveness during the next budget process.

County staff presented a draft policy adapted from other Colorado counties and said the proposed $25 per-shift payment is consistent with local practices. \"This year, it's probably about 2 ish thousand dollars, and, of course, a regular year, full year, about 4 ish thousand,\" the presenter said when describing the estimated annual cost of the increase.

Commissioners debated the per-shift amount briefly and approved the policy change. When the board called the vote, Commissioners Wardell and Chamberlain and Chairman Spooley voted yes. The motion carried.

The board’s approval includes an explicit direction to evaluate the policy’s effectiveness and consider another possible increase during the budget cycle. No amendment to the underlying on-call eligibility or scheduling rules was adopted in the meeting.

The item originated as a staff-drafted policy intended to align the county’s communications compensation with practices used elsewhere in Colorado. The presentation noted consultation with communication-center personnel and comparison to peer counties. The county did not specify in the meeting any new funding source; presenters described the projected cost as modest and within existing appropriations.","The Huerfano County Board of County Commissioners approved an update to the emergency communications on-call policy, increasing on-call compensation to $25 per shift and directing staff to re-evaluate the policy during the next budget cycle.","actionData","errors"]
