Chaffee Common Ground requested commissioners make a 2021 Chaffee County budget amendment Tuesday. Commissioners unanimously agreed.Â
Rick Hum and Cindy Williams presented the proposal, showing that sales tax collections for Common Grounds funds have exceeded the boardâs forecasts by 5.8 percent for 2020, more than 2019 collections by almost 10 percent.
With that in mind, the board suggested adding full funding for the Methodist Mountain Front fuel break project at a cost of $180,090. That action would allow them to move $163,998 into the Coyote Valley Road fuel break, starting it in 2021, one year early.Â
Commissioners will consider the countyâs 2021 budget during their meeting Dec. 15.
