The Buena Vista board of trustees approved an intergovernmental agreement between the town and Chaffee County Fire Protection District, which if approved by the CCFPD board at its meeting Wednesday evening, would make Chaffee Fire âthe exclusive jurisdiction having authority to interpret and enforce the fire code adopted by the town within the townâs boundaries.â
In other words, entering into the IGA with Chaffee Fire would mean that the Buena Vista Fire Department would cease to exist as a separate entity responding to fire calls.
The IGA was drafted during a months-long process based on deliberations by the fire authority steering committee, which first met in February.
Here are three things to take away from the Jan. 26 meeting of the Buena Vista board of trustees:
1 Sara Cassidy, a representative from Colorado Midland & Pacific, stopped in on Tuesdayâs Zoom meeting to introduce herself and clear up some misconceptions about CM&Pâs lease of the Tennessee Pass Rail Line.
Later in the meeting, the board further discussed the future of trains in the Upper Arkansas Valley, and voted unanimously to submit comment on behalf of the town on the Surface Transportation Board Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Uinta Basin Railway.
The railway is another project by CM&P that would connect the Uinta Basin in northeastern Utah to the existing railway system.
