BCC Approves Contract with Developmental Disabilities Resource Center
Commissioners approved a $7.2 million contract with the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center to provide services to Jefferson County residents.
 
DDRCOIn 2004, voters approved a property tax mill levy increase of a half mill to a total of one mill that is dedicated to providing developmental disability services to county residents. Jeffco contracts to provide those services. The contract with the Developmental Disabilities Resource Center in Lakewood runs through 2010.
 
The Developmental Disabilities Resource Center provides services that create opportunities for people with developmental disabilities and their families to participate fully in the community.

BCC Modifies Agreement with FAA for VOR Relocation at Airport
Commissioners approved a modification to the intergovernmental agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), increasing the cost of the preliminary site survey for the relocation of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport's radio navigation system.
 
AirplaneThe original cost to relocate the VOR, or Very High Frequency Omni-directional Radio Range, was about $40,300, but the FAA determined that more civil engineering work was needed to complete the study. The new cost is about $52,900.
 
Airport staff has been working with the FAA to relocate the VOR, which needs to be moved because of future work associated with the Jefferson Parkway. The FAA's work includes a feasibility study, a preliminary engineering design and cost estimate, and a detailed plan for final design, construction and relocation.
 
The preliminary site survey associated with the relocation of the VOR should be completed by spring.

Commissioners approved a funding agreement with the Fort Logan Lateral Ditch Company for the replacement of a pipe at West Quincy Avenue and South Kipling Parkway. The county is making improvements to the intersection and the Fort Logan Lateral Ditch Company requested that the county replace the current 12-inch concrete pipe with a new 18-inch concrete reinforced pipe. The replacement will improve the capacity of the irrigation ditch system there. The company is responsible for reimbursing all costs for the upgrade, which are estimated to be about $96,600.
