Public Hearing Second and Final Reading Ordinance 688 (2018) An Ordinance of the Town of Rangely, Colorado eliminating and reducing the liquor related distance restrictions imposed by C.R.S. 12-47-313, relating to schools and campuses within the Town. – Andrew Key asked if we had a signature ballot turned in for this. He stated that there was one at the liquor store. Trey Robie stated that it was for a different issue, not this one. 10. Committee/Board Meetings a. Start-Up Colorado – 03/07/18 - Led by entrepreneurs, Startup Colorado strives to empower and sustain entrepreneurial communities across the state by amplifying a collaborative support network, making connections to key resources, and helping high-growth companies access trusted, flexible capital. – Peter stated that a group from the eastern slope came in and did a presentation. As a group we assessed strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for our community. Andrew Key thought that there was a lot of good information and feels that a lot more will come of it. Andrew stated that if they hand out 10 venture capitalist loans, they only expect 3 of them to be extremely successful and those will fund the other 7. The first 3 they expect to fail, the middle 3 to break even and the top 3 will pay for the rest of them. Lisa Hatch stated that they take the risk and expect to lose on some of 5 them and that it is hard for banks to take that risk and that is why this funding is so important. Lisa stated that what they were funding right now were businesses that exist somewhere else and want to expand in rural communities, but also startups were important to them and that is why they are in the rural communities. You have to commit quite a bit to get the money from them, but they are willing to give it. Andrew Key asked if they thought they were ambitious enough to work with smaller communities. Lisa stated yes. Andrew asked if there was a follow up to that meeting. Peter stated that we are supposed to get the information from the analysis but that he hasn’t seen that yet. Lisa stated that she thought Keely Winger would distribute Start-Up Colorado’s notes from the meeting. Lisa stated that some of the initiatives we are looking at is how to get the entrepreneurs to come here. Andrew Shaffer asked if Peter would email them with the follow up. Peter stated that he would do so. 11. Supervisor Reports – See Attached 12. Reports from Officers – Town Manager Update a. Don Reed – Utilities Dept. Update – Don stated that he had mentioned at the last meeting that there were some issues at the water treatment plant with coating the sedimentation basin. All the parties got together and came up with a final resolution which will be in writing. This resolution was to apply a coating gel to the south and east walls. Then go back and recoat any of the pin holes that were greater that ¼ in. Restructure, our contractor on this project, took it a step further and went back and coated any visible pin holes they could find. The warranty took effect this morning and the basin is back online. There was a lot of work to get it ready. The filters had to be reconditioned, the set tubes replaced and to do the drainage system. We are now back up and running. We are in negotiation with Sika to see if we can get an extended warranty because the overall product is not what we paid for and we will be monitoring it. We will be taking the basin down at least once every quarter. Apex who did the inspection, has volunteered to come up and see it whenever we take the basin down and they will perform an inspection at no cost to us. Apex is curious about the results and skeptical that it will hold. We hope that this is a resolution that will work. The last issue that we have had is rust forming on the new sludge collector in that same basin. We contacted Westech who is the manufacturer on that.
