business, which is number 13. Consider temporary closure of CR 39 between CR70 and 72. 00:03:39
All right. Moving to amend the agenda, we have a motion to amend the agenda removing item number 13 under new business 00:03:48
understanding is the contractor got behind, it's not quite done any further discussion. 00:03:54
Right all those in favor of amending agenda to remove item number 13 signify by saying aye aye all opposed same sign and the 00:04:02
agenda has been amended removing item number 13, approval of consent agenda. 00:04:09
Actually I have a question that came up and. 00:04:18
I just scan this really fast. I may have missed it, but there's something here from planning to ask about. There's an annexation. 00:04:23
Constituent asphalt and I don't see the referral. 00:04:30
We realize the referrals. I thought so. It's under the consent agenda, Commissioner. Yes, Sir. 00:04:33
Can we take that out of the consent agenda for now? 00:04:40
Is that a motion to remove that from considering that motion? 00:04:44
To remove which. 00:04:47
It would be annexation 20240162. 00:04:50
I don't see that on here anywhere. 00:04:56
One Commissioner, one number under the consent agenda. 00:05:04
So as it shows. 00:05:09
Mine it is 202-4016 to. 00:05:12
OK. But do you have, is there any communications or probably review? 00:05:17
That should be easy to find. 00:05:24
So I'm looking at it right now. There's no category for annexations. 00:05:26
So what category is it? 00:05:31
It's under the consent agenda, I believe. Well, we understand about what category under the consent agenda commissioner say so it 00:05:34
doesn't give anything under an annexation look on your agenda and see if you can find it. 00:05:39
So that we know where the heck you're talking about. 00:05:45
So under consent agenda we want certain things together as my understanding. 00:05:49
I'm looking at the first of the board Public Review #1. Is that it? 00:05:53
It doesn't give me that option. 00:05:59
I don't know because it's here on my agenda. 00:06:02
Resolutions. Petitions. Impact Report, Map. What's the item? 00:06:13
Item number one under public review. 00:06:18
Page 6 of the agenda. 00:06:23
Oh, OK, 0162. OK, so I didn't get that last four right 0162? 00:06:30
So it's in our agenda. I think it's OK to continue. 00:06:37
Consented in. 00:06:41
Like I want to make you understand the request. Are you? Are you requesting that this be removed to discuss separately? Yeah for 00:06:43
another day until we. 00:06:48
Because I asked the question this morning, it was probably a little late. I just got public notice. If there's another day, we 00:06:53
have to. 00:06:56
We're going to do it. It doesn't look like we did a referral. You don't have to take any action on that. It's just it was sent to 00:07:00
the board recognizing it right when we got that, we put it under public review. 00:07:07
Because we have no option anyway, right? There's nothing for you to do. It's just you with you show up that you got that we. 00:07:14
So I think we are going to leave a word such an acknowledgement of receipt, correct. Let me share my motion stands and move 00:07:26
approve the consent agenda and I will second that motion from Commissioner James to approve consent agenda second from 00:07:31

County Road 54 and Authorized chair to sign Great Western Railway of Colorado, LLC. Good morning. Good morning. Commissioners. 00:20:57
Michael Bedell from Public Works Department. 00:21:04
Umm this item. 00:21:12
First of all, there was a pass around on this item. 00:21:14
Dated January 8th. 00:21:18
That went around and was approved for recommendation. 00:21:20
Recommended for approval this Items associated with a railroad crossing on County Road 54 between 17 and 15. 00:21:24
Which isn't has been signed as a rough crossing. 00:21:36
Has quite an accident history. It's been a problem. 00:21:42
Literally as long as I can remember. 00:21:47
And. 00:21:51
This agreement is associated with the design phase of making the improvements for that crossing. 00:21:53
Ourselves in Great Western Railway. 00:22:02
Are proposing to share the cost of the design of this railway crossing improvement. 00:22:05
And our portion would be. 00:22:13
Let's see here, 69,585 is half of the cost. 00:22:17
And then once we get through this phase. 00:22:22
We would have a second agreement for the construction. 00:22:25
Phase of this crossing. 00:22:28
And I'll be glad to answer any questions anyone has. Anybody have any questions for Michael? Obviously that's a regular part of my 00:22:32
commute. You know what I'm talking? I know exactly. Landowner tells me all the time. He's like the graphics are saying some guy 00:22:38
just ran off of this thing again and they hit it too fast. But that being said, there's two crossings there that are bang, bang. 00:22:45
The other one, Yeah, the one furthest. 00:22:51
West is a Great Western one. 00:22:58
And it's the worst ones, yeah. And to fix it right, we're talking about raising the rail. The rail tracks even. So it's a major 00:23:01
thing. The one up the hill from there to the east is UP Railroad. We've also inspected it. 00:23:11
And we believe it can be fixed by basically just leaving the railroad alone and having our own crews go in there. 00:23:21
And do some remove some existing asphalt and repave it so that it's a better ride. And I think that that's our plan for that 00:23:29
crossing. And I mean to ask the questions like I'm a traffic engineer, that's you. But are we going to tackle the road towards 00:23:36
projects at once or it seems to me good question. 00:23:42
I'm certainly in support of what you're asking for. It would make sense to coordinate that would make all the sense in the world. 00:23:50
I can't answer that question right now, but that totally. 00:23:57
A ton of sense and. 00:24:01
Once we finish the design of this thing, then we probably need to start. 00:24:04
Talk and coordinating with our operations folks and seeing if there is a way to to possibly go out and work on both at the same 00:24:10
time. We we would probably need to close the road for, I don't know, a week or something like that. 00:24:18
But yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that and and Curtis is in here and and that's a really good idea. So he he think you think he's 00:24:26
hearing what we're saying here. 00:24:30
Wait, so yes, I believe I'm supporting the request. No, that's that's a good idea. Motion by Commissioner James for approval any 00:24:37
further. 00:24:41
So I do have a question. So is this the same? I'm not 100% that I'm familiar with that, but is that the same one that crosses 00:24:45
County Road 49? 00:24:50
No, no, this is one that. So this one actually have trains running on it. Yes, Yes, it does. Yeah, not a lot of train traffic. 00:24:55
But couple a day, they they Yeah, it's a spur thing. 00:25:02
No, this is, this is between 17 and 15. OK, alright. So now I know what you're talking about. So, so both of these railroad tracks 00:25:08
actually have trains that are actually actively running, fairly actively and and they're so close to one another that I mean if 00:25:15
you could do at the same time and only close the road once, I think is what you're driving in. Yeah. There's a motion on the floor 00:25:21
from Commissioner James for approval. Second by Commissioner Freeman. Any further questions or discussion? 00:25:28
Those in favor of approving contract ID 7754 signify by saying aye aye, all opposed. Same sign contract ID 7754 passes 5 to 0. 00:25:36
Thank you, Michael. Thank you. 00:25:41
This brings us to a planning item number one, docket #2024-0203. 00:25:48

Thank you. 00:31:18
