17-065 Tree Board Appointment
As Trustee Carroll was excused from the meeting at 9:50pm, Mayor Harris
cnveyed information that Trustee Carroll wanted the Board to consider.
The Tree Board reviewed the applications and are recommending that Arthur
Henderlong be appointed as he was the best candidate with the best experience.
Mayor Harris moves to appoint Arthur Henderlong to the Tree Board. The motion
was seconded by Trustee Charles. The motion carries with all voting
unanimously in favor.

Tree Board for attendance purposes.

was seconded by Trustee Schutt. The motion carried with all voting unanimously
in favor.

Trustee Charles - Trustee Charles was in attendance at the 1st Annual
Daddy/Daughter Dance at the Erie Community Center. It was a really awesome
TOWN OF ERIE Page 5 Printed on 3/16/2017
BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING Meeting Minutes - Final February 14, 2017
event. Thank you to all that were involved. The Historic Preservation Advisory
Board contracted with a consultant to do the Master Plan. When it is completed,
their main point of contact, Elizabeth Watson, would come and present to the
Board. They are requesting that $1,500 be available to fly Elizabeth in to give
this presentation. Town Administrator, A.J. Krieger noted that there was $10,000
budgeted in 2017 for the Historic Preservation Committee. General consensus of
the Board is to allow this additional expenditure.
Mayor Pro Tem Gruber - Wanted to make the Board aware of the meetings he
has been to recently. He attended the NATA (North Area Transportation Alliance)
meeting on January 26, 2017. Outcome of the meeting is the number one goal
for 2017 is WIG, a wildly important goal, the improvements to State HIghway 7
and I-25 and completing the BRT Study for State Highway 7.
The second meeting attended was the Metro Mayors Caucus on behalf of the
Mayor on February 1, 2017. One of the suggestions that came out of that is that
the Town really needs to query its residents about their transportation needs and
preferences. Can we add a question on our Citizen Survey when that comes up
about transportation; that's useful information for the caucus and for lobbying the
State House on transportation. They also developed principles/guidelines for the
discussion of construction defects reform. Third meeting was the CML Legislative
Policy Committee on February 10, 2017. There are currently 500 bills at the State
House. Mayor Pro Tem Gruber gave a handout to the Board on issues that CML
is lobbying for on our behalf.
Trustee Deakin - No report just a comment. Regarding the survey, not exceeding
the number of questions that people over readily respond to. Given the questions
the Board wants to ask, should a study session be set to discuss this with the
"survey organizer" or with staff to coordinate what the Board wants to ask? Town
Administrator, A.J. Krieger stated that they will be at the next meeting.
Trustee Schutt - No report.
Trustee Woog - Would like to ask staff to bring, if its ready, the possibility for a
golf cart trail. Either the next meeting or next couple meetings for staff to bring
whatever information has been gathered for that. (Costs, locations, options.)
Mayor Harris - Another outcome from the meeting with the Oil and Gas counsel is
to direct staff to get a quote from Pinyon to monitor noise levels at the Pratt and
Waste Connections well sites that are about ready to come online again. The
Board would like to be proactive with measuring the noise levels so that we can
respond quickly to our citizens concerns with data to back up the concerns that
our citizens have. Also would like staff to send a letter to the COGCC and Matt
Lepore to let them know that we will be monitoring the site and we have a
reputable agency that will be monitoring.
XIII. ADJOURNMENT
Trustee Charles moved to adjourn the February 14, 2017 Board of Trustees
