Water Treatment Facility Expansion

On Tuesday, the Board of Trustees confirmed contracting with Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) for the design phase of an expansion to the Lynn R. Morgan Water Treatment Facility with an approval of Amendment No. 1. Public Works Staff anticipates Amendment No. 2 will be brought to the Board this spring.

Funding Request

The Board of Trustees authorized a funding request for traffic signal improvements at Erie Parkway and County Road 7 from the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG). In a presentation to the Board, Doug Rex, Executive Director or DRCOG discussed services offered by the planning organization to its 58 Town and City members. As one of the nation's three oldest councils of governments, DRCOG collaborates to establish guidelines, set policy, and allocate funding in the areas of transportation, growth and development, and aging and disability resources. To learn more about local government consider applying for the DRCOG Citizens' Academy by March 8.

Proposed Annexation

On Tuesday evening, the Board of Trustees approved an ordinance zoning the property on the northwest corner of the intersection of Jasper Road and N. 119th Street to 'rural residential' and annex within Erie. The owners plan to demolish the single family home and rebuild.

Erie Heritage Foundation

On Tuesday night, the Erie Heritage Foundation presented to the Board of Trustees revealing their mission and goals and requested a community grant in the amount of $5,000. Ultimately the 19 members hope to seek Federal 501(c)(3) status and establish a physical museum in the Town. The Board asked that Town Staff work with the newly formed organization on terms and conditions for awarding money.
