Tori Franks, Eagle County Resiliency Director,presented a PowerPoint outlining the details of the lease agreement with Colorado Mountain College (CMC). She was joined by Dr. Carrie Besnette Hauser,President of CMC. She elaborated on the partnership,buildings, and updates on cost and timing. The goal was to construct two buildings near the Edwards campus. The buildings were almost identical and would provide 36 units. The first building(Building 1)would be owned and funded by CMC, and the second building(Building 2)would be owned and funded by the Housing Authority on land leased by CMC. Building 1 would be occupied by CMC staff and students, and Building 2 would provide housing for Eagle County Government employees and eligible households. Building 2 would have a permanent deed restriction on it to protect the investment moving forward. CMC would remain the landowner for all the land and continue to lead the construction and design process. Building 1 would be ready for occupancy in September of 2023, and Building 2 had a target start date of August 31 and available for occupancy in October or November of 2023. There was a request for$11 million on the agenda to fund the construction of Building 2. Dr. Besnette Hauser recognized the CMC Board of Trustees as well as the elected officials who acted quickly on this opportunity.

Eagle County Housing and Development Authority Board with the Advisory Committee bi-annual meeting Public Hearing - Eagle County Room 3 07/12/2022 1. First Hearing-An Ordinance Repealing Eagle County Ordinance No. 92-01 and Eagle County Ordinance No. 06-01 and Prohibiting Smoking and the Use of Electronic Smoking Devices in Public Places,Places of Employment and Other Places of Interest in Unincorporated Eagle County Executive Summary: Eagle County is updating its Smoking Ordinance to reflect legislative changes made through the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act and Colorado Revised Statutes 18-1.3-503 and 30-15-401.The revised Smoking Ordinance will repeal previous ordinances,but ensure that smoking in Eagle County remains regulated through state law and County-specific provisions that broaden the scope of the prior ordinances to include vaping. If passed,the revised Smoking Ordinance will apply throughout unincorporated Eagle County. Matt Peterson,Assistant Eagle County Attorney, stated that currently the county had two applicable ordinances to regulate smoking within unincorporated Eagle County. At the time those ordinances were enacted, they had done a great deal to reduce the risk of second hand smoke and both had been successfully enforced and implemented without issues. However,the Attorney's Office was recommending that the board repeal and replace those ordinances in favor of today's proposed ordinance. The purpose of revising the ordinance was to insure the county ordinance did not conflict with the"Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act"and to insure that the ordinance included the correct legal penalties as recently updated by the state legislature. His office had worked closely with Ms. Ivanov from Public Health to ensure that the new ordinance would be as strict as the current ordinance. The new ordinance would also confirm that vaping or the use of electronic smoking devices would be covered. To enforce the ordinance, it must be first introduced and read at a special meeting,which was the purpose of today's hearing. Public notice had been provided through publishing in the Eagle Valley Enterprise on June 30,2022 and July 7, 2022. Once the ordinance was introduced,the full text of the ordinance would be published in the newspaper 10 days prior to adoption. Today's hearing was simply an introduction of the ordinance. If the board wished to move forward,the board may move to publish the ordinance in full. He proposed August 16, 2022 as the next hearing date. Public comment would be accepted at that time. State Statute required that the full title be read into the record. Commissioner McQueeney thanked everyone for their hard work on this ordinance. Mandy Ivanov, Policy&Partnerships Manager for Eagle County Public Health, expressed support for the ordinance. She explained the offerings available through the"Quitline." She stated that the program had evolved over the years, and now youths down to the age of 16 could access the program. Commissioner Scherr read the title into the record and directed the Attorney's office to publish the proposed ordinance in full in the paper at least 10 days prior to the next meeting. An Ordinance Repealing Eagle County Ordinance No. 92-01 and Eagle County Ordinance No. 06-01 and Prohibiting Smoking and the Use of Electronic Smoking Devices in Public Places,Places of Employment and Other Places of Interest in Unincorporated Eagle County Chairman McQueeney seconded the motion. Of the two voting commissioners,the vote was declared unanimous. Work Session - Eagle County Room 1.
