The Buena Vista (BV) Board of Trustees will meet for a work session at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 25 to introduce the finalists for the open town administrator position. The regular meeting will begin at 7:00 p.m. and contain public hearings concerning the water dedication and allocation policy, The Crossing major subdivision plat and rezoning approval, and proposed changes to the Block 25 alleyway right of way in South Main. The Board will also consider final approval of phase one of the Carbonate Street project.
At the work session, Town Administrator finalists will each have up to ten minutes to introduce themselves and share why they are interested in the position. There will also be a fifteen-minute question and answer session following introductions to allow the mayor and trustees to ask their specific questions.

The finalists for the Buena Vista Town Administrator position include Town of Poncha Springs Administrator and Treasurer Brian Berger, former Durango Assistant Finance Director Jarrod Biggs, and former Parker Assistant Town Administrator Dannette Garcia.
During the regular session, the Board will consider approval of an ordinance to amend Chapter 13 and 16 of the Municipal Code related to water allocation, dedication, and reservation in a public hearing per discussions in their July 11 meeting.
The Crossing Public Hearing
A public hearing will be held regarding The Crossing, a major subdivision project. The Board will consider a request to rezone The Crossing subdivision and the preliminary plat for phase one of this project.
This ordinance would rezone portions of Blocks 7 and 11 Crossman’s addition and adjacent rights of way from general residential to high-density residential and amend the Town’s official zoning map.
