g.            Personnel Policy Review:
Kathleen highlighted the changes that the board had agreed upon stating that the section hearing rights in the table of contents was deleted as it pertained to nothing. After much discussion changes were made to the part-time hours as follows: more than 29 hours was changed to more than 32 hours to receive sick, holidays, vacation, and health insurance. Full time employees will now be considered as such when hired to work 40 hours per week. Sick and PTO will no longer accrue if an employee misses five or more days in a row, the accrual will be suspended until the employee returns to work. Motion was made by Trustee Baumgartner, seconded by Trustee Traxler to approve the personnel policy as presented with the revisions stated above; motion carried 6-0, Mayor Kipp, Trustees Baumgartner, Brandt, Tyler, Blackston, and Traxler voting yes
 
h.            Lost Creek Commons EDA request:
Kathleen advised that there is no basis in Colorado Law for a municipality to form an economic development authority that she is aware of, and rather than spending a great deal of time on this ; if the board desired and Denver East Group is willing to pay for the legal research she would be happy to move forward. The board agreed and directed the town clerk to respond to Denver East Group with a letter stating the same.

Board Member Comments: Mayor Kipp asked that the board members be ready for complaints, and respond taking into account that this is the first time citizens have had to do without services such as the lack of snow removal. And just explain that the board wants to be fiscally responsible, and hope that the budget looks better next year. A good part of the sand mix has already been used; the little sander spreads less and has been repaired.
