Three potential ballot questions will be discussed and must be decided by the July 29 2022 Deadline:

- Possible formal action and direction of staff to notify the County Clerk of Chaffee County’s intent to participate in the 2022 Election With Potential Ballot Measures Reallocating Visitors’ Bureau Tax.
- Possible formal action regarding Commissioner Term Limits.
Among other agenda items — the BoCC will consider ratifying the Bureau of Land Management ROW (Right of Way) for CR 397and the approval via the Consent agenda of several land use applications including the Bolin heritage Water Subdivision, the Ridley Heritage Water Subdivision, the Maier Plat Amendment, and the Bingham Plat Amendment.
The BoCC is going to consider raising the $20/hour fee for Colorado Open Records Requests (CORA) to $30/hour. The move places the transparency of public records in question; as getting at this information on behalf of the public is often the role of news media and this is a 50 percent increase at a time when budgets for news media are shrinking. Less access to records means less public transparency.
