Constituent Input Chairman Pro-Tern McQueeney opened constituent input. Teri Lester ceded her time to Joanna Kerwin. Kris Miller ceded her time to Joanna Kerwin. Stacy Sadler ceded her time to Joanna Kerwin. Joanna Kerwin, a resident of Edwards, spoke. She stated that the meeting yesterday with regard to the West End PUD was difficult. She requested that the board reconsider their decision with regard to the application. One of the commissioners commented in a prior meeting on the question of affordability over availability. She hoped that this would have been one of the topics discussed yesterday. It was disappointing to see that during the commissioner's hearings, it was said over and over again that the traffic study was updated in 2023 when in fact, staff knew that the traffic count had been done on March 4 and 5,2020. The traffic in the Edwards roundabout had increased significantly. More pedestrians will be walking across the active intersection to take the bus eastbound. This will create more traffic backups. She believed that many of the concerns expressed by the Planning Commission were not shared by staff. She believed that staff misrepresented the truth to influence elected officials and that this was not okay. She expressed disappointment in the final decision. She believed certain statements by the applicant with regard to CDOT were untrue. Based on all this information, she asked the commissioners to reconsider their decision. Chairman Pro-Tem McQueeney closed constituent input. Commissioner Updates Commissioner Chandler-Henry had no updates. Chairman Pro-Tern McQueeney had no updates. 1 09/10/2024 County Manager Updates Jeff Shroll stated that he recently traveled in the northern part of the county and gave a shout out to the Road&Bridge team, as the condition of the Trough Road and the Colorado River Road were looking good.
