The Mancos Town Board is expected to meet Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. in the meeting room of the Mancos Town Hall, 117 N. Main St.
Board members are expected to appoint a new municipal court judge and a substitute judge.
Four attorneys were interviewed for the position. The municipal court judge presides over monthly court. A flat fee of $250 is paid for this purpose per month.
The board will consider the town's recommendation of James A. Shaner as judge and Michael Goldman as substitute.
Shaner is a municipal court judge in Cortez and Dolores and has a law practice.
The previous Mancos municipal court judge, Scott Moore, resigned on Dec. 30 when a jury trial was looming for pollution charges against Western Excelsior. Moore said he didn't have time to preside over a days-long jury trial.
The board is also expected to consider appointing John Bolton to a vacant position on the Planning and Zoning Commission. Bolton is a Mancos resident and a contractor and homebuilder.
Board members are also expected to discuss flooring options for the Mancos Community Center.
The current floor in the Community Center is scuffed, buckling and "poses tripping hazards," according to Town Administrator Andrea Phillips.
Estimates to remove and replace the floor range from $4,255 to $12,837.
Board members also will consider the transfer of the liquor license of Chavolo's Mexican Restaurant.
The restaurant ownership is being transferred from Edgar Ortiz to his brother, Chavolo Ortiz, and must be approved by the board.
Board members will consider a grant opportunity for a downtown consultant and will consider accepting a Colorado Tree Coalition grant.
