The Huerfano County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) meeting held on May 13, 2025, addressed several key agenda items, focusing on public safety, community support, and communication improvements.

The meeting commenced with a proposal from the sheriff's office regarding the purchase of a jail scanner bundle. The total cost for this equipment was $3,574.90. The scanners are intended to enhance the efficiency of the sheriff's office by automating logs and improving the monitoring process during rounds. After a motion was made and seconded, the commissioners voted unanimously in favor of the purchase, indicating strong support for the initiative.

Following the sheriff's office discussion, the commissioners reviewed financial updates, including the lead balances as of May 3. An award letter for a business loan fund was also presented, confirming that funds are now available to support local businesses in Huerfano County. This initiative aims to bolster economic development within the community.

Additionally, the meeting included updates from the Community Food Consortium, with new flyers distributed to promote their initiatives. This reflects ongoing efforts to address food security and community support.

In a significant communication development, the county staff announced plans to launch a county newsletter. Scheduled for release in early June, the newsletter aims to improve communication between the county and its residents. The staff is currently organizing sign-up processes to ensure effective distribution.

The meeting concluded with a report from the county attorney, although specific details from that discussion were not provided in the transcript. Overall, the meeting highlighted the county's commitment to enhancing public safety, supporting local businesses, and improving community communication.
