Good morning Perry. Good morning. Okay, we are on the air and this is the Board of County Commissioners meeting for Monday, August 17th and the first thing on our agenda is roll call. Good morning, Commissioner Bill. Present. Jimmy Jankowski. Here. Commissioner Samson is out. Okay, with that, let's stand and recite the Pledge of Alleg iance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. If you remain standing and just have a moment of silence in your own way. Okay, thank you. Okay, do we have any public comments from citizens not on the agenda? Fred, do you want to get up here? We do have on the agenda later the... We have... It's the first time. Is it... We have a request for the Board of County Commissioners to consider waiving landfill tipping fees. Are you here for that? Or is there a different... No. Okay. Come on forward. Good morning. Oh, first, I guess I'd like to thank Perry for coming down and helping us get everything going down in Peach Valley for the recent, you know, shower floods we had. And then after we left the other day, I know we had another little bit of water come down the same way, the same gulch. But anyway, what I would like to request is that not only, you know, it looks like everything's going to be pretty good in the slaughter gulch area, but there's still the rest of the Peach Valley. There's probably, well, maybe five …

Okay, right, Shelley, we're on the air? Yes, sir. Okay, welcome to the Board of County Commissioners meeting for Monday, August 10th. Let's start with roll call. Good morning, Commissioner Will. President. Chairman Jane Coffey. President. Commissioner Sampson is absent? Is absent, yes. With that, let's start with the Pledge of Allegiance.

With that, if you remain standing and join me in a moment of silence in your own way. Thank you. Okay, thank you. So, first thing on our agenda is public comments from citizens not on the agenda. Do I have people here that are not? Please come forward. Just give us your name and address and your item you're talking about. Good morning. My name is Joe Malika. I live at 140 County Road 126 in Glenwood Springs. And so, I have a couple minutes. I just want to talk to you about a couple things. So, I saw John Martin in City Market. And a lot of memories came back. Started talking to him. So, years ago in 2007, I was a commissioner with the city of Glenwood Springs. And myself and a bunch of kayakers and rafters got an idea to build a water park in West Glenwood. So, we went around. We had fundraisers. We worked with Alpine Bank, Hot Springs Pool. Everybody put in the fund. And the city was behind it. And the kicker was we went to Garfield County. And Tracy helped. And John M …

Okay, thank you everybody for being here for Garfield County work session August 4th. And I also want to just mention this is fair week for Gar field County, so we got a lot going on in Rifle. Please participate if you get the chance. And with that, let's start with roll call. Good morning, Commissioner Will. Present. Jamie Jankofsky. Present. Commissioner Sampson. Here. If you join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. If you could remain standing and join me in a moment of silence in your own way. Thank you. Okay. We normally go right into our agenda. However, I know we have one individual here from-- a trust ee here from SILT that has a time schedule. I would like to make some comments. So we're going to go ahead and do that right now. Thank you. Good morning, Commissioner. And I think-- Are you talking about Hogback or the Traveler or both? I am here for the Hogback discussion and Traveler, I think, is part of that discussion as well. I have an 8:30 prior engagement. So-- but I am here in support of that. And Mayor Pro Temp-Henrihan will speak mostly for us. I just wanted to add that I am here in support. I think it's a good sign that I am here in support. I think it's a good sign that the multiple towns have approved this resolution. It shows the buy-in that we have.

We're ready to go, Shelly? Good morning, everybody. This is the Gilman Springs Board of County Commissioners meeting for August 3rd. This is a rolling agenda today, meaning that we don't have any afternoon items. We don't have any planning and zoning issues for this afternoon. So with that, we can start with roll call.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation , under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. If you remain standing and join me in a moment of silence in your own way. Amen. Thank you. Okay. It looks to me like we have maybe a couple people here for public comments. But since it's not on the agenda, would anybody like to come forward and speak? Thank you. Just go ahead and give us your name, where you live, and then the item you would like to talk about. Thank you, Commissioner. Good morning, Commissioners. My name is Rebecca Braesemore, and I live in Rifle. And I was here before you a few weeks ago. You probably remembered to talk about the Rafta-Hogback line. And I know you have before you for discussion tomorrow the temporary proposal to fund it for a few more years while Rifle and Silt find some long-term options. And I just want to request or beg you, please, to consider that funding proposal. I have confidence that this funding p …

Welcome you this morning. I'm pleased to introduce Kendall Ferris with Madison AI. Kendall works exclusively with local governments to implement practical AI tools that help staff quickly access information, reduce repetitive work, and draft reports. Today she'll share a few real examples of how cities and counties are using Madison AI in their day-to-day operations. So Kendall, good to see you. Please take it away. Hi. Thank you so much. Good morning, everyone. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to be able to speak with you all today. I've had some great conversations with Gary, you know, on Madison AI and what could be possible with bringing a solution like this into Garfield County specifically. So I'm going to start with a little bit of a presentation describing, you know, who we are, the use cases that we solve for, the collaborators involved, a little bit of a roadmap for our future. And then I'll jump into a demonstration so that we can see it in action. But please, at any time, if you have any questions or comments, don't hesitate to stop me. I can get a little excited talking about Madison, so feel free t …
