Ashley shared that Kit Carson County has qualified to fill out a FEMA grant to fix or repair County Road U with the application deadline being this Friday. The grant would 75 Federal/25 County and the state has indicated that they would cover 12.5% and possibly CPW would do the same. There was al lot of discussion about the condition ofthe dam and spillway plus the condition oft the road. County Road Uis maintained by Kit Carson County but it is actually on ground owned by the Colorado Parks & Wildlife. Inspection ofthe dam has determined the integrity of the dam is in very poor condition, which makes it a concern for public safety. The five-year plan is to demolish the dam in the next 2 to 5 years, which is the state's decision. Discussion continued whether or not to repair the road. It was determined that the grant application will be filled out and submitted by Kit Carson County and then determine exactly what the funds can be used for. There will be a public meeting in Flagler on October 18th including background, the water compact, water law, water cannot be stored, and the proposed plan; more information to come on1 this meeting. Some thoughts were to. have updated signage to reflect there is no outlet from either direction before a vehicle gets to either cattle guard. Another suggestion, County Road U would continue to be maintained up to the  cattleguards on both sides but not within the Flagler Wildlife Area. The Board of County Commissioners' meeting adjourned at 4:05 PM.
