15 AGENDA:
16 Additions to the agenda:
17 • None
18 Chairman Suppes accepted the agenda as presented.
19
20 CONSTITUENT TIME:
21 Chuck Cherick, 5604 2000 Road, Delta:
22 Chuck asked who did the first Land Use Code done in 202. Chairman Suppes explained that this is
23 constituent time and normally they would go into dialogue but it was done via consultant, land use
24 attorney and the county.
25
26 Chuck asked when is the best time to be able to sit down with the Commissioner with general
27 conversation. Chairman Suppes said that he would have to do that individually because they cannot
28 meet together outside unless it is a publicly posted meeting but if you call them individually, they can set
29 up a time to meet with you.
30
31 Chuck referred to the blending station that they are doing to recycle dirt and sludge that came up at the
32 last commissioners meeting. He said they are talking about bringing the sludge down from Montrose and
33 recycling it and using it as top soil or compost. Robbie asked if this was at a Planning Commission
34 meeting. Chairman Suppes reiterated that it must have been at a Planning Commission meeting
35 because it wasn’t here. Chuck explained that he did some research and it coming here could be an issue
36 because the COVID virus that lives and doesn’t die in the sludge from what he has read. He stated that
37 he does not know that we wanted to be recycling that and spreading it out for top soil. Chairman Suppes
38 said it is news to him and if it is something that is in front of the Planning Commission, they cannot
39 address that right now.
40
41 Richard Lightfoot, 19500 G Road, Delta:
42 Richard said that he has information regarding Buckhorn Engineering on the batch plant. He went home
43 and looked up some stuff on his own and was able to find out some stuff that they would interest in
44 seeing if they have to deal with them again. Richard provided the Board with nformation. He explained
45 that it shows from the Asphalt Paving Association and it says that at 80,000-pound truck which fully
46 loaded concrete truck don’t weigh quite that much but they do weigh an awful lot but one truck is
47 equivalent to 6,000 automobiles. Richard stated that they will have a lot more than one truck going up
48 and down our roads over there so you were concerned at the last meeting that the roads might be
49 damaged more than we though. He added that we had Buckhorn do the engineering which they were not
50 qualified to do, don’t have a license or anything else and stated that they have done them before so
51 considered themselves good enough to do but obviously they did not take this into consideration which he
52 found online in ten to fifteen minutes.
53
54 Richard explained that there is a fire station down the road about a mile from the batch plant. He asked
55 what will happen when a fire truck comes down the road and gets behind a concrete truck and the
56 concrete truck tries to pull over on the side of the road, we are going to have problems there is no two
57 ways about it and the whole thing was is they are going to tear up our roads. Richard stated that it
58 doesn’t affect him personally except for the roads other than that there is no problem. He said nobody
59 thought this thing out very far and as far as Buckhorn doing the study, he doesn’t believe they did a study
60 he thinks all of the people opposing this all feel like it was kind of swept under the table and that wasn’t
61 right.
62
63 Richard stated that the Planning Commission wanted them to put up starting out at a $10,000.00 bond
64 and ended up with a $15,000.00 bond. He looked up the asphalt to be able to support a concrete truck or
65 the heaviest loads you can put on asphalt road will run about a million dollars per mile to put the base in
66 and everything else. Richard stated that on the other road that goes to Delta that is three to four miles
67 right there and it is already in bad condition. He said that he thinks it was the Board that approved the
68 bond for the solar farm was very high and was only going to last six month this is going to last years for a
69 $15,000.00 bond to fix a road will mean that all of us will be paying for that road and it doesn’t seem right
70 it seems like something is fishy from the start and the whole thing did not seem right. Richard does not
71 feel Buckhorn did their due diligence on this study and if you have to deal with them again, he would be
72 suspicious of their outcome.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 19th DAY APRIL, 2022
1 Mike Atwood, 15990 Farmers Mine Road, Paonia:
2 Mike thanked them for time being spent on the airport this morning he is a private pilot and he loves the
3 facilities around here and is glad they are addressing the issues that needs to be addressed.
4
5 Mike said he is not associated with DMEA other than as a customer but he disclosed that he is running
6 for the District #3 North Fork DMEA Board seat but he does not speak for them nor has he talked to them.
7 He stated that supporting agricultural is a serious consideration of his and he is a little confused because
8 he thought the Planning Commission did a great job pushing to make the land dual use and preserve
9 some agricultural need while also creating the solar farm.
10
11 Mike added that nothing supports agriculture more than first improving the economics of it and the tax
12 revenue, lower electricity prices are great for agriculture and he is confused that the Commission turned
13 down the wonderful job that the Planning Commission did of hammer DMEA to make it a dual use facility.
14 He would have been less happy about it if it was a pure industrial operation even though that feeds all the
15 power that is produced in Delta County during the day. Mike reiterated that the Planning Commission did
16 a great job twisting their arm and getting them to compromise a lot so he is confused about his thinking
17 on why you thought this was anti agriculture because it seems to him that you would have a win-win and
18 the Planning Commission had driven for a win-win and was successful.
19
20 Arlie and Kay Clark, 40386 Cottonwood Creek, Crawford:
21 Arlie explained that they are confused because they wanted to do a boundary adjustment and they own
22 both parcels and it seems like they don’t have any clear definition in writing what has to be done for the
23 boundary adjustment. He said that the Planning Department is saying they can’t have off sets and they
24 don’t understand because all it is doing is costing them and putting it out further into the future and it will
25 be almost a year and they will have to start over again on a boundary adjustment where they own both
26 pieces of property.
27
28 Kay explained that the issue they are having is they started a barn and like all of their projects they never
29 get finished in the timeline they are hoping. She explained that if you go on google earth dated 2015 you
30 can see the poles standing on one side and they have started on the other. Kay stated that the poles are
31 20 feet that are steel so between that time (2015) and now they have decided they may sell a piece of
32 property they have and own the one next to them and they wanted to have it large enough to keep her
33 horses and there would not be enough room on their three acres because most of it is in the ravine in
34 Cottonwood. She explained that they wanted to add the lower half which is not a very good quality
35 property to put it with that one and wouldn’t harm the sale of the larger piece because that has a lot of
36 salinity alkali ground on it even though there is some pasture.
37
38 Kay said she wanted the boundary adjustment so she could keep her horses and she would have room
39 for them and they set out to do this but in doing it and the surveyor came out Mr. Yeoman’s fence line
40 comes down but to get the barn on the property that they are living on she had to do an offset so she
41 moved it over and left some space behind the barn not realizing that they needed a 15-foot setback. She
42 said she thought the 15-foot setback would be on the piece they put to the other property and not on the
43 main property. Kay explained that it turned out that they are saying that she has to have 15-feet and in
44 doing so they would have to pull some pole which will be a real ordeal in order to get the 15-foot setback
45 from where she has put the line.
46
47 Kay stated that Planning is insisting that they don’t like the jog in the fence line they do not want her to
48 move down the fence line and start the boundary adjustment they want her to start it even with the
49 boundary line between Mr. Yeoman and them and come across. She explained to them that it would go
50 across through the barn. Kay stated that if they don’t do that, they have to move part of the barn which
51 will be very costly and move it to the south which will put them too close to the meadow for trucks to come
52 into load. She has asked to leave the jog but Planning seemed adamant they don’t want the jog in the
53 fence line and her argument is if you look at the property that they own, there is offsets in several different
54 places on it and she doesn’t know why that is an issue.
55
56 Kay said if she moved the setback there it will cause a real issue on trying to move, they would have to
57 move half of those poles that are setting in concrete and is not going to be an easy task. If she can leave
58 the jog they can pull one pole and move it to the front and it still won’t put the barn too close to the
59 meadow. She stated that this is what they are trying to get settled and it seems like they have hit a spot
60 that they are not giving one inch and they are going to have to do all the giving. Kay added that she has
61 written letters and she is frustrated because they bought the property, pay the taxes and they are telling
62 her she can’t put a fence coming here but they say she has to put it here and it is her property all around.
63 She does not understand why everything has to be in line.
64
65 Chairman Suppes said he cannot speak to being in line and they have to be careful with this discussion
66 because this is something goes past the Planning Department and this Board has to review it, they have
67 to be careful of giving you answers in that regard because of State Statute and ex parte communication,
68 they have to be careful how they travel down that path. He added that the setbacks have to be met but
69 as far as lines he cannot tell her about fence lines.
70
71 Kay stated that she is willing to do a setback she needs to start the fence where it is at and move one
72 pole forward and she hasn’t found where it says that everything has to be lined up. Arlie added that he
73 wants something in writing that says that and he has not seen anything yet. He said that he wants it in
74 writing so they know what is going on. Kay said that they don’t see it conforming to what they want it to
75 be.

1 Chairman Suppes said they will speak to the Planning Department and they will get those answers to
2 them by the end of the week.
3
4 Commissioner Koontz explained that Mrs. Clark contacted him yesterday and he suggested that this
5 would be an opportunity to visit with the Board so there was not a one-sided conversation. Chairman
6 Suppes reiterated that they will speak with the Planning Department and make sure they get some
7 definitions to them.
8
9 Citizens for a Healthy Community Executive Director Natasha Leger, 211 Grand Street, Paonia
10 Natasha said that they understand that in a joint statement by Guzman and DMEA they plan on
11 resubmitting their Garnet Mesa Solar project to the county for reconsideration and we would like to urge
12 you to review that and approve that in accordance with the Land Use Code and perhaps even better; she
13 knows that usually the recommendation is from Planning Director to the County Commissioners but
14 maybe a signal that the application when resubmitted should be reviewed and approved administratively.
15
16 Natasha stated that she wanted to bring up a disturbing discussion that ensued at the Planning
17 Commission meeting last Wednesday. She said there was discussion of potentially ending Zoom
18 participation for the public and she would like to urge the County and County Commissioners to ensure
19 that the Maloney House has the technology that is necessary so that both the Planning Commission and
20 the public have a quality audio and video experience when participating via Zoom. Natasha stated that
21 the conversation was doubly troubling because it was on the heals of discussion about important it will be
22 to have increased public input now that the Land Use Code is being revised so needless to say these
23 concerns should be addressed swiftly.
24
25 Natasha urged the Board to ensure that technology is not an issue and invest in a quality Zoom
26 experience you have done a great job here at the county certainly with the new facility so we encourage
27 that in all the county facilities where there are public meetings and not to penalize the public because it
28 definitely seems like an attempt to prevent public participation.
29
30 Natasha said they will be sending a letter to Robbie in regards to this. She stated through public records
31 request it has come to their attention there is a potential conflict of interest and she wanted to bring their
32 attention to staff regarding C.R.S. 24-18-109(2) which states that a local government official or local
33 government employee shall not engage in a substantial financial transaction for his business purposes if
34 a person who he inspects or supervises in the course in his official duties. Natasha added that she hopes
35 this issue will be addressed at the next meeting and please look for that letter to Robbie coming shortly.
36
37 Marcus Thackston 13683 Ragged Mountain Lane, Paonia:
38 Marcus wanted to speak about the decision recently to deny the Garnet Mesa Solar Project. He said that
39 he believes it is very important to Delta County to support solar and diversify energy needs in addition to
40 creating jobs and tax revenue for this county. Marcus stated that he has been here and trying to get solar
41 power for his house for the better part of a year and you cannot source solar power currently from DMEA.
42 He added that this is the first utility, he has lived in this state his whole life and he cannot switch to wind or
43 solar power program and a big part of that is due to a lack of local production of energy coming from solar
44 or renewable sources. Marcus said it was not the best thought out decision and the reasoning behind it
45 that it was going to lose agricultural land did not make sense to him due to the fact that grazing was going
46 to continue on the land. He wanted to attend the meeting today and put his voice out there in support of
47 diversifying our local economy, making it more resilient to economic ups and downs, booms and busts
48 and to source the power locally. Marcus stated bringing the tax revenue $15 million over 10 years here to
49 this county would be a huge boom to the coffers and for what we are able to do with our tax dollars.
50
51 Marcus said about the Maloney House and ending Zoom he is on the edge of Paonia so it is a long drive
52 to get to Delta and being able to attend by Zoom today was a great asset and made it a lot easier to get
53 their voices heard and he is encouraging them to not remove Zoom from the public and to ensure the
54 Maloney House has the technology to ensure all peoples voices are heard in these discussions.
55
56 Ryan Jacobs, 40000 Cedar, Delta County:
57 Ryan would like to address the Garnet Mesa Solar Project it has been talked about quite a bit and he
58 provided a different perspective on the whole thing. He explained that in the 1970’s he worked in
59 atmospheric photo chemistry with people that won the noble prize so he has credibility in what he is about
60 to say. Ryan stated winning a noble prize is not a small achievement it was not him but he was on the
61 team.
62
63 Ryan explained that there something called Solar Cycles and this has to do with levels of activity in the
64 sun and they last about 150 years, the last major event in solar activity was 1859 something called the
65 Carrington Event which is a burst of activity that happens on the sun and impact local infrastructure. He
66 stated that in the event in 1859 before the civil war; so much energy was released and affects
67 transmission lines and the telegraph lines started fires at the ends of the transmission lines. Ryan said
68 bringing that to forward what would happen and once again this is from the best estimates that is out
69 there. He added that the amount of damage would be around $2.6 trillion dollars, not millions, not billions
70 but trillions of dollars and would likely take four to ten years to repair the facilities.
71
72 Ryan stated that there is another Solar Cycle that is an eleven-year cycle and this is when the north and
73 south pole on the sun changes/flips so you can imagine what would happen to the earth if the earth’s
74 north and south pole flips it is a big event. He said when that happens then the earth’s magnet field
75 denigrates and the radiation from the sun is able to impact the planet directly. Ryan said this happens
3

PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 19th DAY APRIL, 2022
1 regularly every eleven years on the sun and during that time there is something call Chronal Mass
2 Ejections (CME) so these are vast quantities of electrons and protons that impact the earth and we are
3 approaching a maximum of this kind of activity so this will be in three years, 2025. He added that you
4 combine 150 years with this eleven-year cycle and they are both coming together at the same time and
5 we are over due for something incredibly powerful.
6
7 Ryan explained that if the long-distance transmission lines fail which is what will happen you will have to
8 rebuild that and it will take a long time and the gear that is needed to do that is not stockpiled so we are
9 basically sitting duck. He said we know this is coming its going to happen in a big way and we can do
10 something about it. Ryan stated that the answer is to have local power generation, there is sufficient
11 power generation with the Garnet Mesa Project to provide for Delta County. He is recommending that
12 they approve the project 84% of your constituents want that, approve it but also include the stipulation
13 that they restore power to Delta County first which would be easy to do because it is local, they are not
14 having to restore power to some place distant just in the county. Ryan added to also require that they
15 keep on hand the transformers and additional power lines locally. He stated that this is not something
16 that is a mystery that you do not know about, you know it is coming, you have precedence here meaning
17 that you know in advance it is coming and you can be absolute hero’s, what brilliant guys that they saw
18 this coming and they said yes we will have local power, were are going to be hero because when this
19 happens we will be prepared for it, so you can be hero’s here and he invite them to be hero’s and simply
20 add those couple stipulations to the approved contract; local power generation and keep on hand the
21 equipment you need to bring power back to this county.

45 located at 19548 Highway 65, Cedaredge. She reminded the Board that the State will be the one to
46 make the determination about the sales room but the local authority which is this Board unless any of the
47 conditions at the bottom portion of the application apply these conditions are items such as the impact of
48 traffic, inconsistency to local regulations or ordinances, laws of the local government, or zoning laws. Teri
49 stated that the applicant is asking for a permanent sales room.
50
51 Commissioner Lane made a motion that the Board approve the application for a liquor sales room for

57 COMMISSIONER’S BUSINESS:
58 Board’s Consideration and Discussion Regarding the Amendment to the Real Estate Offer at 829
59 Highway 92, Hotchkiss, CO:
60 Lynda Cannon and Christi Schmidt with Colorado Select Real Estate:
61
62 Christie explained that they are here to review an agreement to extend a contract to buy that they have
63 representing Delta County Board of County Commissioners. She stated that the buyer is Darius
64 Workman and the address of the property is 829 Highway 92, Hotchkiss and they had sent an agreement
65 to amend/extend the contract changing the purchase price to $322,000.00 so that the seller’s agent in
66 Grand Junction can get paid an additional $2,000.00. Christie explained that she and Lynda will still keep
67 their commission with the original agreement of $5,000.00. She added that Keller Williams sent a letter
68 that she presented to the Board and she was happy that they added the clause that if the property value
69 was lower than $320,000.00 then that will adjust accordingly. Christie did not see a problem with since
70 they have the letter stating that they are not making more money and neither is the county it is simply the
71 buyer agreed to pay more for the property so he could get paid more. Chairman Suppes said there is no
72 cost to the taxpayer.
73
74 Commissioner Koontz stated that this is the blue house on the southwest corner of Highway 92 and the
75 river in Hotchkiss. He added that the county went out for a Request for Proposal (RFP) for real estate
4

PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 19th DAY APRIL, 2022
1 services to sell this property after the county did a boundary adjustment and Colorado Select was the only
2 bidder for $10,000.00 total and what we are doing is the buyer wants to add $2,000.00 to his loan so they
3 can pay their agent the county is neutral on this one. Commissioner Koontz stated that he asked Lynda
4 and Christie to come and clarify so that everyone knows what is going and he appreciates them coming
5 in.
6
7 Chairman Suppes said that this is an action item and he would like to have approval to sign the
8 amendment.
9
10 Commissioner Koontz made a motion that the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to sign the

12 CO to amend it from $320,000.00 to $322,000.00 for the buyer to pay their real estate agent.
13 Commissioner Lane seconded the motion.
14
15 Motion carried by a vote of 3 to 0.
16
17 Board’s Consideration of Resolution Ending the Airport Advisory Board and Establishing the
18 Blake Field Airport Advisory Committee:
19 Chairman Suppes said that there have had several meetings between Delta County and the Town of
20 Paonia regarding the North Fork Airport and is an item that has been discussed in the past and it has
21 been brought up a number of years ago just because of the differences between Blake Field and North
22 Fork not to mention the differences in ownership. He stated that it was decided it would be best to split
23 up the Airport Advisory Board and reestablish a Blake Field Advisory Board and since Paonia has ¾
24 ownership of the North Fork Airport they would be the ones to set up the Airport Advisory Board for that
25 airport. Chairman Suppes reiterated that this has been discussed a few times at meetings between the
26 county and the Town of Paonia, nothing changes as far as ownership, operation or expenses this is
27 merely a change in the Airport Advisory Board. He added that there is stuff going on at Blake Field that
28 they need to get people involved that directly involves Blake Field.
29
30 Mary Bachran, 511 Box Elder Ave, Paonia, CO:
31 Mary stated that she was kind of blindsided by this. She said yes, they had talks and it seemed like there
32 was nothing that was substantially going to change in all of this and all of a sudden, we are breaking up
33 the Advisory Boards. She reiterated that she was pretty much blindsided by this as well as the Advisory
34 Board people were blindsided as well. Mary asked that they continue this item until we can sit down and
35 talk together with the Advisory Board and the Town of Paonia to see what is exactly is changing and what
36 is the rational for doing all of this.
37
38 Chairman Suppes said nothing is technically changing with the airport or the structure of the airport this is
39 merely the Advisory Board the resolution is clear that there is nothing that changes as far as agreements
40 between the county and the town on the airport. He added that all we are doing is just separating the
41 Advisory Board because the differences in the airport primarily differences in ownership which is
42 something that has been discussed several times and following through with it.
43
44 Mary said she still thinks it would behoove the Commissioners to sit down and meet with the Advisory
45 Board and discuss this issue with them if nothing else out of politeness and courtesy. Commissioner
46 Koontz said he was happy to do that. He added that this gives the Town of Paonia more control. Mary
47 said she suggests that they continue this after the Advisory Board has been met with and bring it back to
48 the table to discuss it.
49
50 Neal Schwieterman, 420 Minnesota Ave, Paonia:
51 Neal stated that he was the Chairman of the Advisory Board and he to was blindsided by this and he
52 would on a professional level respectfully request that the Commission table this until which time that this
53 could be vetted through the Airport Advisory and other interested constituents. He said on a personal
54 level he has sat on many boards with most of everybody here and he would like to make the same
55 request out of request for him if it can be tabled until the Advisory Board had a chance to talk with them.
56
57 Commissioner Koontz asked Neal as Chairman of the Airport Advisory Board what topic in particular
58 would he want to discuss. Neal said the proposed change and rational at the Airport Advisory Board
59 level. Commissioner Koontz asked if it was the structure of the board. Neal said yes and the rational
60 behind it.
61
62 Town of Paonia Administrator Corinne Ferguson:
63 Corinne said she would concur with both of the requests from the Chairman of the Advisory Board and
64 Mayor Bachran and add that on the administrative side for the Town it provides an opportunity for them to
65 look at being in more control isn’t always the best option for the Town or any entity as you know and
66 would like to look at what that would mean and what the likelihood is of creating that Advisory Board for
67 the Town and what effect that would have on communication overall for airport planning. She added that
68 she knows that it was said that it doesn’t change anything as far as the distribution of project and planning
69 but how then would all the different board be communicating with each other so everyone is aware and
70 coordinating appropriately. Corinne is requesting that the Commissioners table this item and provide an
71 opportunity for the Advisory Board and the Town of Paonia to review the document and come to some
72 kind of understanding and agreement prior to the Commissioner’s adoption.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 19th DAY APRIL, 2022
1 Mike Atwood, 15990 Farmers Mine Road, Paonia:
2 Mike stated that he wanted to point out that the Board is thinking about this from the ownership point of
3 view and that is certainly a way of thinking about it but another way to think about it is from the customers
4 point of view. He added that these two airports are 15 minutes flight from each other, Paonia is not a full-
5 service airport it is a great runway and good hangars but if you need major repairs and other things Blake
6 Field is the only place you can get them. Mike said from a pilots point of view if you keep a plan at
7 Paonia you go to Delta on a regular basis for services and if you are a Delta person you fly to Paonia
8 because it is a fun place to fly so they are intertwined as far as the customers are concerned and by
9 creating two different Advisory Board what you are doing is creating more bureaucracy because those
10 boards are going to have to talk to each other all the time unless you have the same people sitting on
11 each board in which case why. He stated they would be talking and representing the constituency of the
12 users and those users very much overlap.
13
14 Chairman Suppes said the Airport Advisory Board the goal was not to take on those types of discussions
15 of who flies in and flies out it was more of an infrastructure need; a purchasing needs a future outlook of
16 capital expenses at the airports were the primary focus of the Airport Advisory Board. He added that they
17 are an advisory board not an authority and they are to advise the Commissioners as to what the needs of
18 the airport are and this has been discussed several times and that was the primary focus here was
19 because the needs and availability of funds are different for both airports. Chairman Suppes reiterated
20 that there are ownership differences for both airports so it is not to take anything away it is to give a more
21 focused support. He stated that it is difficult to fill the board seats, we will advertise the positions and no
22 one fills them so hopefully if there is a Blake Field Board and a North Fork Board we can meet at the
23 respective airports and get more participation because the three people sitting here had to have their
24 arms twisted to be on the board and how long have, we tried to fill the seats and there were a number of
25 meetings where there wasn’t a quorum. He said this board is not something where we have people
26 climbing the walls trying to be on it and we are hoping there would be more participation.
27
28 Jeanette Waterman 18374 Highway 65, Cedaredge:
29 Jeanette said she was on the advisory board and she does support what the constituents asked for
30 because she believes it is important in order to get people to come and work on advisory boards and
31 committees, they need to feel that they are being involved and this is an opportunity for you to have that
32 involvement so she is urging them to postpone their decision and meet with us so we can encourage
33 others to be involved in the process.
34
35 Commissioner Koontz said that he does not think waiting two weeks to give them a chance to meet with
36 them will hurt. Chairman Suppes said he does not disagree.
37
38 Commissioner Koontz said based on the testimony they heard today it would be his recommendation that
39 the Board of Commissioners table this until the next meeting.
40
41 Chairman Suppes stated that they will table this until the next meeting and set up a meeting within the
42 next week with the Airport Advisory Board and the Town of Paonia and have a discussion on this.
43
44 Commissioner Koontz said to Mary and Corinne in the mean time you might think about how to structure
45 an independent board and what that might look like. Mary said they will discuss it.
46
47 Warrant Ratification:
48 Commissioner Lane made a motion that the Board ratifies and the Chairman sign warrants from General
49 Fund, Road & Bridge Fund, Energy Development Fund, Fairgrounds Fund, Lodging Tax-Tourism Fund,
50 Enterprise Fund, E911 Fund, Economic Development Fund, Contingency Fund, Capital Projects Fund,
51 Capital Improvements Fund, Employee Benefit Trust Fund, Conservation Fund, Self-Insurance Fund,
52 PILT Fund, Safety Improvement Fund, Booking Fees Fund, Inmate Fund, American Rescue Fund and
53 Open Space Trust Fund expenditures paid by warrant numbers 144138 through 144475 and ACH
54 transactions 308 through 322 from March 5, 2022 through April 6, 2022 totaling $909,194.27 in Accounts
55 Payable and $1,398,569.50 in monthly County, Human Services and Health Department March 2022
56 Payroll for items budgeted and approved per Delta County Policy. Commissioner Koontz seconded the
57 motion.
58
59 Motion carried by a vote of 3 to 0.
60
61 Board’s Consideration of Final Bid Tally 2022-RFP-08 for Segment I-V Miners Way to Delta County
62 Fairgrounds:
63 Commissioner Koontz explained that this an environmental review of the trail and the bridge crossing. He
64 said this will include Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Bureau of Land Management
65 (BLM), Threatened and Endangered, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Corps of
66 Engineers permitting requirements and Wetlands for the length of the trail and this will help with the
67 submittals for grants and other work in progress.
68
69 Commissioner Koontz said there were three bidders:
70 • BIO-Logic Inc in the amount of $32,770.50
71 • SGM in the amount of $40,878.00
72 • ERO Resources in the amount of $50,000.00

PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 19th DAY APRIL, 2022
1 Commissioner Koontz stated that it would be his recommendation that the Board approve the bid from
2 BIO-Logic Inc. at $32,770.50.
3
4 Chairman Suppes stated that the other part is that it looks like they will be able to get through the process
5 a little quicker which should help.
6
7 Commissioner Lane made a motion that the Board accept bidder No. 1 BIO-Logic Inc, 125 Colorado
8 Avenue, Suite B, Montrose, CO, Shawn Connor in the amount of $32,770.50 for the Miners Way to Delta
9 County Fairgrounds environmental review. Commissioner Koontz seconded the motion.
10
11 Motion carried by a vote of 3 to 0.
12
13 Board’s Consideration of Final Bid Tally 2022-RFP-03 Upgrade of County Building Access Control
14 System:
15 Robbie explained that for the past two years there has been ongoing issues with the existing county
16 access control system which main components are approximately 15+ years old. She said the IT
17 Department, Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and Administration worked with multiple vendors
18 last year and discovered that the current technology and access cards are outdated and an upgrade of
19 our access control system for security purposes and compatibility with new technology was
20 recommended.
21
22 Robbie stated that based on research conducted by OEM and IT in the fall of 2021 funds were added to
23 the 2022 capital improvement budget to upgrade the existing access control hardware at all county
24 buildings, to install a new modern cloud base system that is compatible with existing technology. She
25 said Emergency Management, Administration, IT and Buildings and Grounds conducted an intense RFP
26 process for upgrading the access control point. Robbie added that five companies participated in a walk
27 through of the campus and three bids were received. She said of the three bids submitted two
28 companies bid open path and a third company bid Kisi.
29
30 Robbie explained that a selection committee upon review of the bids meeting with all the vendors through
31 the walk through and interview process and presentation have determined that the best solution for Delta
32 County is Open Path a modern secure access control system as bid by Bear Communications aka Bear
33 Com. She said Bear Com Communication is headquartered in Garland, TX but has a local office in
34 Grand Junction where they would install a service and also be able to service the system going forward.
35 Robbie stated that they are the lowest bid at $49,997.02 and Delta County is familiar with Bear
36 Communication due to them being authorized Motorola Retailer and a vendor that sells and services
37 Motorola Public Safety radios to the Sheriff’s Office and installs and maintains equipment for dispatch.
38 She added that Bear Com can begin work approximately six weeks of award and complete installation in
39 approximately 30 days.
40
41 Robbie stated based on familiarity with Bear Com and their staff, the overall price and the competitive bid
42 they submitted, the quality and features of the Open Path system staff recommends BoCC award 2022-
43 RFP-03 Upgrade of County Building Access Control System to Bear Communications Inc. in the amount
44 of $49,997.02 and there are two changes in the scope of work which will lead into a potential change
45 order to remove reader at the Sheriff’s Office and add sensors to all exterior doors which will result in a
46 slight increase for the change order request.
47
48 Chairman Suppes commented that he sat in on the interviews with all the vendors and he questioned
49 them pretty hard as to why they were so much cheaper than the other and he believes they are a solid
50 company. He said he was concerned that they left something out of the bid but they got in depth and
51 detailed as to what they had included and he believes it is a solid bid and a good price. Chairman
52 Suppes stated that they talked about the door position sensors and that was not included in any of the
53 bids so it was not like the others had it included and they didn’t. He explained that the door sensor would
54 allow the security officers to know if a door did not shut or was ajar.
55
56 Commissioner Koontz said he was shocked at the price differentials. Chairman Suppes stated that he
57 thought for sure they would find something that they missed in their bid but they truly got everything
58 included. He added that Kris did a really good job that everything was itemized in the bids and everyone
59 did bid apples to apples.
60
61 Commissioner Koontz made a motion that the Board approve bidder No. 2 for the purchase of the access
62 control system to Bear Communication Inc. out of Garland Texas for the amount of $49,997.02.
63 Commissioner Lane seconded the motion.
64
65 Motion carried by a vote of 3 to 0.

67 PRESENTATION BY COLORADO ROCKY MOUNTAIN SCHOOL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT – KAYO
68 OGILBY AND STUDENTS:
69 Those present were Kayo Ogilby, Aden Berry (Senior), Leo Chrapla (Junior), Maia Dewey (Senior), and
70 Soren Peterson (Sophmore)
71
72 Kayo explained that they are here to present a geothermal analysis of the greater Paonia area and this
73 question came to them via Matt Ferrier who works for Roaring Fork Consulting and he was talking with
74 Paonia as he was exploring the possibility of helping them with their Master Plan and in that conversation,
75 he was approached and asked about the possibility of drilling for geothermal for hot water in the same
7

PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 19th DAY APRIL, 2022
1 spirit they did at Avalanche Ranch in the Crystal Valley. He said that Matt got in touch with him knowing
2 that the Colorado Rocky Mountain School geology students had done the work for Avalanche Ranch and
3 he put him in touch with the Paonia Town Council and Robbie so this project was born.
4
5 Kayo stated that geothermal is referring to any heat inside the earth and anytime anyone is exploring for
6 geothermal we are interested in those places on the earth that heat is closer to the surface than typical so
7 it is viable for either hot springs or geothermal energy. He added that a geothermal zone would be any
8 zone where volcanic captivity has brought that energy to the surface of the earth, Iceland is one of the
9 most iconic and famous geothermal zones resulting in hot springs, geysers and the use of that heat for
10 geothermal energy.
11
12 Kayo explained that in 2007 the owners of Avalanche Ranch approached the geology program at
13 Colorado Rocky Mountain School asking if they would do a geothermal analysis of property to see if there
14 were anywhere the owners might drill for hot water to develop into hot springs so the class has spent a
15 couple months doing that. He added that after they had geologically mapped the area and employed a
16 few other techniques on the last day they were collecting data it happened to snow that day and they
17 came across a zone that had been melted that hadn’t been previously discovered and it was that snow
18 melt that expression of the heat melting the snow that cracked the case and that is where they
19 recommended the owners drill and they did drill and ended up developing the hot springs.
20
21 Kayo stated that when they took on this project the challenge became of how they go from a single
22 property to a broad region encompassing around Paonia. He called Earth Scientist Burch Fisher he
23 quickly agreed to come out and teach the students how to use GIS technology and how to read high
24 resolution satellite imagery as tools to blow up and explore geothermal possibilities on a broader scale.
25 Kayo explained that the graphs in the consultant report and the images, graphs and visuals you see today
26 were built by the students using GIS under Burch’s tool age.
27
28 Leo said that he is a Junior at Colorado Rocky Mountain School. He asked the question why exactly
29 should we care about geothermal energy. Leo stated that first of all hot springs themselves provide
30 significant economic benefit from not only creating a tourist attraction for people to come from all around
31 the area as well creating job opportunities for people that live in the town as well as opportunities for
32 electricians, engineers to set up the hot springs itself.
33
34 Leo added that another great benefit is using it for direct use and what direct uses is taking the water
35 itself from a geothermal vent or from a well and pumping that through sidewalks, buildings trying to heat
36 or regulate the temperature of that area. He gave an example of melting sidewalks in a much more
37 efficient and cost affective way as well as repurposing abandoned oil/gas infrastructure. Leo said a lot of
38 abandoned bore holes are drilled down to areas where that the heat is strong enough for either energy
39 development and/or the development of direct use.
40
41 Leo showed a map of the great Paonia area pointing out the area below and to the east of Paonia that is
42 Igneous Intrusion which is magma underneath the earth has pushed up the rock but has not actually
43 erupted up on the surface as a traditional volcano. He pointed out another area that had basaltic lava
44 flows that were formed from eruptions. Leo said that these both are recent around 15 to 20 million years
45 which on the geologic time scale is very, very recent. He added that Paonia is built on older formations
46 the Mesa Verde and Mancos shale all places where you get oil from are much older however, when you
47 look at the map, they were able to determine that places like Mount Gunnison which are Igneous
48 Intrusions that there is potential for that magma to be underneath Paonia itself since it pushed out of it.
49
50 Aden is a Senior at Colorado Rocky Mountain School (CRMS). He said the same theme narrowing their
51 search for geothermal potential in the Paonia area they harden back the original CRMS Geothermal
52 Exploration Project at Avalanche Ranch. Aden stated that Kayo mentioned found geothermal site
53 through heat venting through the surface next to the road where they ended up drilling the well. He said
54 in order to do that on a broader scale of all the greater Paonia area they looked towards infrared satellite
55 data and to test the theory they went to Yellowstone National Park which is one of the most famous
56 geothermal sites in the United States and if not the world all the geysers in the area make up the Fire
57 Hole River Valley which means the river runs warm due to all the geothermal activity.
58
59 Aden explained that they imposed Terra Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emissions and Reflection
60 Radiometer (ASTER) data over the Fire Hole River Valley and color coded it to represent the warmth of
61 the surface. He referred to a map and said darker red is warmer than the greens and blues. Aden added
62 that you can see there is a pretty clear correlation between the known geothermal sites and this thermal
63 infrared satellite data. He noted that the data images in 100 by 100-meter pixels so when they were
64 looking around the rest of Yellowstone National Park individual hot springs and geysers that were not part
65 of large complexes didn’t have as clear correlation as the satellite data it was hard to tell and see a large-
66 scale surface heat change.
67
68 Aden said that they brought what they learned from Yellowstone National Park to the Paonia area but in
69 order to do that we needed some known geothermal sets so they found three thermal spring wells
70 surrounding the Town of Paonia. He stated that the well to the east is the Colonel Chinn Well it is 42
71 degrees Celsius and 107 degrees Fahrenheit which is pretty warm and warm enough for hot springs and
72 direct use. Aden said that there is significant geothermal activity already known in the Town of Paonia.
73 Chairman Suppes asked what the approximate location of that one. Commissioner Koontz said a little
74 north west of the airport.
75
8
Page 10 of 65PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 19th DAY APRIL, 2022
1 Aden explained that there is this known geothermal site and they were going to see if there was broader
2 representation of that across the landscape so they imposed their ASTER data over the map there was
3 almost zero correlation. He said when the image was taken there was a temperature inversion in the
4 valley surrounding the town which was cooler than the mountain tops and hill surrounding the town where
5 the sun warmed them and created anomalies. Aden explained that unfortunately they cannot use this
6 data to determine the potential for geothermal outside of these individual wells the fact that these wells
7 exist especially the Colonel Chinn well is tremendously promising for the potential development of more
8 geothermal.
9
10 Chairman Suppes asked how deep the Colonel Chinn well. Aden said there are conflicting reports when
11 they were digging in the old data the well was drilled in the mid 1800’s so there are some reports that it is
12 over a mile deep and some reports that say it is 500 feet deep. Commissioner Koontz said that that well
13 is 4,999 feet deep they had fractured in 1932.
14
15 Maia who is a Senior at the Colorado Rocky Mountain School and she will be talking about boreholes and
16 the land status of the greater Paonia area. She said based on the map that showed thermal wells that
17 showed the temperature gradient indicating that the black dots in the center of Paonia are 80 to 90
18 degrees Celsius which is pretty hot. Maia explained that if you look at the center of Paonia it is really hot
19 there are a lot of hot boreholes and as you move further away it gets cooler.
20
21 Maia referred to a map stated by the Paonia Reservoir/Bureau of Reclamation the green is Forest Service
22 and yellow is Bureau of Land Management and the grey is private lands so all these boreholes are all
23 over so it does not matter the land status. She explained that boreholes are basically anything drilled into
24 the earth and a lot of these are abandoned oil/gas wells.
25
26 Soren explained that all the heat is measured in thermal gradients which means what is the difference of
27 the heat at the bottom of the well versus at the surface. He showed an example that it can lose up to 30
28 degrees from the bottom to the top. Soren said that high temperature gradient means it is really hot close
29 to the surface also when you take this data from the boreholes extrapolate it to the entire region you can
30 see that the Paonia area has a really high gradient like other sites with geothermal significance for
31 instance like Ouray, Mount Princeton Hot Springs they all are on the bullseye of geothermal gradient so
32 this means that there is a lot of heat close to the surface which makes it an awesome place to use
33 geothermal power because you would not need to drill very far to get to the heat. Soren reiterated that
34 this makes it an awesome place to actually drill use the geothermal benefits.
35
36 Aden explained that with all of that data it comes back to the question whether geothermal development
37 in Paonia or the rest of Delta County for that matter is a potential. He added that yes there is tremendous
38 potential for geothermal development and with that they have a few recommendations.
39
40 Aden said the first would be direct use geothermal to heat buildings or sidewalks, direct use is extremely
41 efficient, reliable and inexpensive way to heat buildings and sidewalks other things in town.
42
43 Maia said another recommendation is to examine the possibility of hot springs development near the
44 Colonel Chinn well.
45
46 Aden stated that finally to examine the possibility of geothermal power development east of Paonia in the
47 geothermal gradient bullseye. He added that under 20 degrees Celsius per kilometer is a significant jump
48 in gradient and if you were drill or repurpose old oil/gas wells that would provide significant power for the
49 Town of Paonia and Delta County as a whole.
50
51 Aden explained that there is conflicting report in old studies about the well in regards to the Colonel Chinn
52 well and they had not seen the well itself so when they drove out of town after they conducted their
53 research, they decided to go see the Colonel Chinn well to what was there.
54
55 Leo said the first thing they noticed a distinct smell of Sulphur. He explained that Sulphur is often
56 associated with volcanic activity as well as hot springs so this immediately got them very excited. Leo
57 said that at the site they saw a circular place that seemed to be a well and as they were driving in, they
58 happened to see someone driving a tractor right down the ride. He went down the road to talk to that
59 person to see if they knew anything.
60
61 Leo stated that the person he was talking to was aware of the well and there is small hut that is situated
62 almost directly over the well and gases and vapors from there steam up into the house and a lot of times
63 the younger kids would go in there and take a steam shower from the vapors. He said it was exciting to
64 know that all their research and this potential geothermal well actually existed and we could potentially
65 use that heat and it seemed in talking to the owner or worker that they were interested and open to
66 possibilities, they had not considered anything themselves but it is something they are open to.
67
68 Commissioner Koontz asked about the drill hole data from Maia’s map and where did that data come
69 from is it off the geophysical logs. Maia stated that they combined the land status map on GIS and a map
70 of all the bore holes and then she color coded them off the temperature radiant and then they also
71 overlayed the thermal springs. Aden added that all the temperature data the well wand data. Leo said
72 that not all wells take temperature data while most of them do so these are the ones that were high
73 enough to put on this map. Commissioner Koontz stated that he would be careful of that data because
74 they will put in a default value on the older geophysical log when Amoco and other drilled north of town.
75
9
Page 11 of 65PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS 19th DAY APRIL, 2022
1 Kiyo asked if the default was used when. Commissioner Koontz said it was done if they didn’t take a
2 reading and didn’t use the data, they would use the default. Kiyo said that one thing that got their
3 attention was that they were not sure if they would find anything and one of his colleague’s was joking
4 that there were no hot springs in Paonia so it was intriguing to find and fun to see a distinct trend from
5 cooler to warmer right under Paonia. Commissioner Koontz stated that in 2009 Matt Sarers with the
6 Colorado Geological Survey did a statewide because this data does not match his. Kiyo asked what his
7 showed in this area. Commissioner Koontz said it showed very cool temperatures off Mount Princeton
8 diminishing as you go west and the cluster of yellows make him wonder whoever was drilling up here did
9 not have default set. Kiyo asked if Matt Sarers was around to chat with him. Commissioner Koontz said
10 that this was well done.
11
12 Robbie said that they are all very well spoken. Kiyo thanked the Board for taking time out of their busy
13 schedule to give this presentation. Commissioner Lane said since water is involved has someone filed on
14 the Colonel Chinn well and have the water rights. Commissioner Koontz said yes.
15
16 Chairman Suppes left the meeting at approximately 9:45 AM
17
