OSTAC REPORT: OSTA Representative: N/A
Discussion Item: The Board researched new TRT requirements for spending funds. Discussed the split of what portion goes to the State vs County. If GCRSSD falls under the new requirements. New requirements are not clear if GCRSSD meet these requirements. Hedin stated that Grand County has overspent 1.2 million of 2025 Budget. Some of that was on CJC facility, OSTA Powder River panels, new safety officer position, new entry study for Arches, and to supplement EMS, among other things. Trish has advocated to sticking to the 2025 budget line items, and still fund the Pickleball courts and ADA playground, even if that means it must come out of the reserves. Although she is in the minority, and not all the commission agrees. The project is not dead, but still in discussion. Jim posed that the Commission pay the EMS supplement from TRT funds and fund GCRSSD from the general fund. This way the county can use the TRT funds with proper requirements and GCRSSD will not suffer the deficit of not receiving TRT. How TRT is spent falls under how the State interprets the new requirements. At this point the State does not feel GCRSSD fits the requirements.
Discussion Item: New Clerk position. Tejada will be moving on from GCRSSD. The new Clerk position will get posted with County and on Facebook. Looking to fill the position by September.
Financial Report: Emma presented the May financial statements. Everything look good.
