Virginia, Gunnison, Colorado. Present were: Paula Swenson, Chairperson William Spicer, Senior Analyst Phil Chamberland, Vice-Chairperson Kristy McFarland, County Assessor Jonathan Houck, Commissioner Bob Blackett, Appraiser Bre Shelton, Clerk to the Board Alexandra Cohen, Appraiser NOTICE: The Petitioners’ and Assessor’s exhibits for each case are located in their individual Board of Equalization files. The target appraisal date is June 30, 2014. CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Swenson called the July 21, 2015 meeting of the County Board of Equalization to order at 12:58 pm. Chairperson Swenson explained the roles, rights and responsibilities of the Board and the Petitioner during each hearing where a Petitioner and/or a Petitioner’s representative was present, either in person or via telephone. Appeal notices were also provided to each petitioner/petitioner’s agent. CBOE #01 Thomas Stockton Assessor’s Case: Blackett described the subject property and the examples provided in the packet materials. He explained that when looking at the time adjusted sales prices from the examples given is supportive of the neighborhood factor that is currently being applied. Spicer clarified that the materials were given to Mr. Stockton within the statutory time frame of three days. Petitioner’s Case: Petitioner, Stockton, was present for the discussion via conference call. Stockton does not believe his property is being fairly assessed based on the evidence given. There was discussion from Stockton that he did not receive information regarding his property until the day before his hearing and did not feel like this was enough time to review the information from the Assessor. Stockton believes that the examples given to him from the Assessor should not be a final determinate of the value of his property. He discussed that he had to maintain his property and do winter road maintenance. He stated that two years ago his property, when looking at neighborhood factors, was .65 and now it has gone up to 1.0 and did not feel this was correctly evaluated. There was discussion on neighborhood factors of the mass appraisal model. In reference to Stockton’s property, Spicer discussed that the neighborhood factors can change and get re-set every two years and this would not have any significance. The CBOE and Spicer clarified that this adjustment of a 1.0 appraisal applied to the whole neighborhood.

Five interim Task Memoranda have been submitted previously, each reporting in detail on certain aspects of the study. A Final Report which discusses the study in a more detailed manner is submitted under separate cover. The objective of this study was to identify and evaluate water resource management plans to enhance the water-based economy of the Study Area in an environmentally sound manner. Both structural and non-structural components have been examined, evaluated and utilized to formulate alternative plans which would meet in-basin needs. A recommended plan has been identified which meets the study objective. Non-structural measures related municipal industrial sector were found to have little potential for saving water in the context of this basin-wide study because the total consumptive use in this sector is less than two percent of the total consumptive use in the entire study area at present.

The District anticipates consultant support throughout all seven watersheds as described in this document, with the greatest work effort occurring in the Ohio, East and Tomichi Creek sub- basins (Figure 1). 1.0 Background The District was established in 1959 by a vote of the taxpayers pursuant to the Water Conservancy Act to conserve, protect, and defend the waters within the Upper Gunnison River Basin. The District is governed by a board of eleven directors and staffed by its General Manager, General Counsel, Office Manager, Water Resource Specialist and Administrative Assistant. Our mission is to be an active leader in all issues affecting the water resources of the Upper Gunnison River Basin. The District website provides additional detail and can be found at: www.ugrwcd.org The Upper Gunnison River watershed is geographically located in west-central Colorado in the headwaters of the Gunnison River Basin, upstream of Blue Mesa Reservoir. The mainstem of the Gunnison River which forms at the confluence of the East and Taylor Rivers in Almont, picks up other tributaries on its way into Blue Mesa Reservoir. There are seven tributary mountain watersheds that make up the Upper Gunnison River Basin including Ohio Creek, East River (includes the Slate River), Taylor River, Gunnison River, Tomichi Creek (includes Quartz Creek), Cochetopa Creek, and the Lake Fork of the Gunnison (Figure 1).

ERO developed the plan using funds from the Certified Local Government Subgrant Program administered by History Colorado (Project #CO-15-08). The survey plan provides prioritization recommendations for future intensive or reconnaissance survey efforts to identify and document cultural resources in Gunnison County. The purpose of a survey plan is to identify areas where survey may help the HPC establish priorities for future preservation, nominations, and public outreach as derived through the information gained during a survey. The survey plan includes recommendations for future reconnaissance or intensive surveys of buildings, structures, and archaeological resources on county-, city-, and privately- owned land. The survey recommendations provided are prioritized based on public input, the extent of previously conducted work in the county, the current condition of resources that reflect important themes in the county’s past, and the goals and powers of the HPC.
