Town Administrator/ Clerk Corner

The  Christmas  season  and  the 

end of  the year  is upon us – can 

you  believe  it?    We’ve 

accomplished many  things  over 

the  last  year:    Decker  Park  has 

new  playground  equipment, 

basketball and volleyball  courts, 

and a stage; we’re underway on 

assessing  our water distribution 

system  and  how  to  phase  its 

replacement  as well  as  taking  a 

long  term  look  at  the  Town’s 

electric  system  and  its  future 

needs;  and we  have  seen  some 

new    businesses  and 

accompanying  jobs  come  to 

Town.   

Even  so,  there  is  so much more 

in  front  of  us.  However,  given 

the  season  and  the  astounding 

success  of  our  local  businesses’ 

participation  in  our  holiday 

season’s  opportunities,  I  will 

save  further discussion on  those 

matters.   Thank all of you for all 

your help in continuing to move 

our community forward.

Town Board Matters

The Town Board is once again continuing efforts to encourage our local Oak Creek and South Routt economy by supporting local events such as the upcoming Oak Creek Holly Festival on Saturday, December 13th, coordinating with the South Routt Economic Development Council (SREDC) and the Town of Yampa.

The “Shop Local this Holiday in your South Routt Neighborhood” provides an opportunity to win a Colorado “staycation” and other wonderful prizes. Shop our local South Routt businesses this holiday season, save your receipts totaling $100 and the registration card available at these same businesses, and drop them at the Oak Creek or

Yampa Town Halls or Flat Tops Ranch Supply in Phippsburg. The prize drawing will be held at the Oak Creek Town Hall on December 30th at Noon. There are additional prizes that will also be announced at the drawing! While there’s no need to be present to win, it will be a great time to visit with our friends and neighbors.

The upcoming Town Board meeting on December 11th will be a busy one. In addition to adopting the 2015 Budget and the associated appropriations resolutions, the Board will be considering two land use applications, the rate for fee-in-lieu of parking, and a grant agreement for completion of an electric system mater plan. The meeting starts at 6 p.m. and we urge you to attend.
