Board Of County Commissioners Special Meeting

The board discussed the implementation and adoption of the wildfire code, focusing on the lack of current enforcement mechanisms and the potential for a wait-and-see approach. The commissioners addressed concerns regarding state-mandated timelines, financial constraints for smaller entities, and the potential need for future revisions or a lighter version of the code for counties with limited infrastructure. Furthermore, the board approved a letter of support for the Economic Development Commission to petition for the re-inclusion of Dove Creek into the enterprise zone to restore access to necessary business tax incentives.
