Kate Sheldon,Town of Eagle resident, expressed appreciation for the country's contribution to the wildlife passes. She thanked the board for walking the walk for wildlife so they could walk to survive. These passes are all across the world. She asked that the board consider variable speed limit signs for the 2025 budget. These variable speed limit signs flash and change at twilight;they are solar-powered and allow elk to cross roads safely. She suggested that the county partner with TOE for variable speed limit signs for Brush Creek Road where they cross in March and April. The signs were about$5000 each and would help wildlife. Valerie Glimp of Eagle spoke. She'd been a 14-year resident of Eagle County, and she felt that anything the board could do to help the wildlife in the county was very important, especially given its growth. Commissioner Scherr closed constituent input. Commissioner Updates Commissioner Chandler-Henry spoke about the BLM public lands rule which tied into what was said about wildlife. Eagle County had been a huge supporter of getting the Public Lands Rule passed which it did in the last year. It allows the BLM to manage conservation values equally with oil and gas. In an outdoor recreation economy,this was critically important to the county. She learned that this rule had a major change within the agency with regard to range health. When they look at range health,they have a wider view to give insights into the health and well-being of the wildlife and cattle grazing land, leading to better mitigation tactics and better forage for wildlife and cattle grazing. This has a huge impact, and she was excited to see it put into play. Commissioner McQueeney talked about a meeting with the Routt County Commissioners, and it turns out Eagle County had a lot in common with its neighboring counties regarding what they're working on. One of them was the senior care. She also reminded folks that next weekend was the Eagle River Cleanup. This is a great opportunity to get out with neighbors and/or work colleagues to clean up the river. There was a BBQ afterward at the Broken Arrow in Arrowhead. Information could be found on the Eagle River Coalition website. Chairman Scherr reminded folks that Labor Day weekend was coming up,which meant that the Vail Rotary Duck Race would be happening. It wasn't too late to buy a duck;they could be purchased at Vailduckrace.com. He also mentioned some film screenings that were advertised in the Vail Daily; if anyone was interested,they could go to RMPBS.org. 1 08/27/2024 County Manager Updates Jeff Shroll had no updates.
