AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Pitkin
County, Colorado, Acknowledging the Pitkin County Sheriff’s
Policy 300, Use of Force
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Jeanette Jones
ISSUE STATEMENT: Shall the Board of County Commissioners (“BOCC”) acknowledge the
Pitkin County Sheriff’s Policy 300, Use of Force to comply with the Department of Local Affairs,
Economic Development Division, to receive HUD funds for business loans?
BACKGROUND: On December 4, 2024, the BOCC approved Resolution No. 117-2025 approving
an IGA with multiple counties and authorizing the chair to sign a Community Development Block
Grant for the purpose of business loans funded by the grant.
As part of the provisions of the grant application and to receive grant funding, counties and
municipalities are required to adopt and enforce a Use of Force policy. To comply with the
requirements of the grant application, staff submitted to Anita Cameron, a copy of the Sheriff’s
Policy 300, Use of Force. However, after review by the Department of Local Affairs (“DOLA”) Ms.
Cameron was contacted by a representative of DOLA to request that the Chair sign off on Policy
300. Therefore, staff is bringing a resolution forward to the BOCC acknowledging the Sheriff’s
Policy 300, which after approval by the BOCC and signed by the Chair, will satisfy the requirements
set forth by DOLA.
The purpose for scheduling a special meeting for this matter is because Ms. Cameron needs to file
the final grant application, including this resolution acknowledging the Sheriff’s Policy, by next
Monday April 21st.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Safe Community: A sense of personal and community safety
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS: Staff will be present at the meeting to answer any questions the
Board might have.
BUDGETARY IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDED BOCC ACTION: In order to comply with the grant application and not
jeopardize grant funding for business loans, staff is recommending that the BOCC adopt the
attached Resolution Acknowledging the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Policy 300, Use of Force.
ATTACHMENTS:
• Resolution
•Excessive Force Policy

Use of Force
300.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Best Practice
This policy provides guidelines on the reasonable use of force. While there is no way to specify
the exact amount or type of reasonable force to be applied in any situation, every member of this
office is expected to use these guidelines to make such decisions in a professional, impartial, and
reasonable manner.
In addition to those methods, techniques, and tools set forth below, the guidelines for the
reasonable application of force contained in this policy shall apply to all policies addressing
the potential use of force, including but not limited to the Control Devices and Techniques and
Conducted Energy Device policies.
300.1.1 DEFINITIONS
Federal MODIFIED
Definitions related to this policy include:
Deadly physical force - means force, the intended, natural, and probable consequence of which
is to produce death, and which does, in fact, produce death.
Feasible - Reasonably capable of being done or carried out under the circumstances to
successfully achieve the arrest or lawful objective without increasing risk to the deputy or another
person.
Physical Force - The application of physical techniques or tactics, chemical agents or weapons to
another person. It is not a use of force when a person allows him/herself to be searched, escorted,
handcuffed, or restrained.
Imminent - Ready to take place; impending. Note that imminent does not mean immediate or
instantaneous.
Serious bodily injury - An injury that presents a substantial risk of death, a substantial risk of
serious permanent disfigurement, a substantial risk of protracted loss or impairment of the function
of any part or organ of the body, or breaks, fractures, a penetrating knife or penetrating gunshot
wound or burns of the second or third degree.
Totality of the circumstances - All facts and circumstances known to the deputy at the time,
taken as a whole, including the conduct of the deputy and the subject leading up to the use of force.
300.2 POLICY
Best Practice MODIFIED
The use of force by law enforcement personnel is a matter of critical concern, both to the public
and to the law enforcement community. Deputies are involved on a daily basis in numerous and
varied interactions and, when warranted, may use reasonable force in carrying out their duties.
6
Pitkin County Sheriff's Office
Policy Manual
Use of Force

Published with permission by Pitkin County Sheriff's Office Use of Force - 2
Deputies must have an understanding of their authority and limitations. This is especially true with
respect to overcoming resistance while engaged in the performance of law enforcement duties.
The Pitkin County Sheriff's Office recognizes and respects the value of all human life and dignity
without prejudice to anyone. Vesting deputies with the authority to use reasonable force and to
protect the public welfare requires monitoring, evaluation, and a careful balancing of all interests.
300.2.1 DUTY TO INTERVENE AND REPORT
Federal
Any deputy present and observing another law enforcement officer or a member using force that
is clearly beyond that which is objectively reasonable under the circumstances shall, when in a
position to do so, intervene to prevent the use of unreasonable force.
Any deputy who observes another law enforcement officer or a member use force that is
potentially beyond that which is objectively reasonable under the circumstances should report
these observations to a supervisor as soon as feasible.
300.2.2 ADDITIONAL INTERVENTION AND REPORTING
State
A deputy shall also intervene to prevent or stop another peace officer from using physical force
that exceeds the degree of force permitted by CRS § 18-1-707.
An on-duty deputy who witnesses another peace officer using force in excess of that permitted
by CRS § 18-1-707 shall report such use of force in writing to the deputy's immediate supervisor.
Such report shall be within 10 days of the occurrence and include the date, time, and place of the
occurrence; the identities, if known, and description of the participants; a description of the events
and the force used; and must be included with all other reports of the incident (CRS § 18-8-802).
A deputy shall intervene to prevent or stop another peace officer from using or directing the use of
ketamine to effect an arrest, detention, restraint, transport, or punishment; to prevent the escape
from custody; or to facilitate ease and convenience in the law enforcement encounter and report
the intervention as required by CRS § 18-8-805 and 4 CCR 901-1:17.
300.2.3 PERSPECTIVE
Best Practice
When observing or reporting force used by a law enforcement officer, each deputy should take
into account the totality of the circumstances and the possibility that other law enforcement officers
may have additional information regarding the threat posed by the subject.
300.3 USE OF FORCE
Federal
Deputies shall use only that amount of force that reasonably appears necessary given the facts
and circumstances perceived by the deputy at the time of the event to accomplish a legitimate
law enforcement purpose.
7
Pitkin County Sheriff's Office
Policy Manual
Use of Force
Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2024/09/09, All Rights Reserved.
Published with permission by Pitkin County Sheriff's Office Use of Force - 3
The reasonableness of force will be judged from the perspective of a reasonable deputy on the
scene at the time of the incident. Any evaluation of reasonableness must allow for the fact that
deputies are often forced to make split-second decisions about the amount of force that reasonably
appears necessary in a particular situation, with limited information and in circumstances that are
tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving.
Given that no policy can realistically predict every possible situation a deputy might encounter,
deputies are entrusted to use well-reasoned discretion in determining the appropriate use of force
in each incident.
It is also recognized that circumstances may arise in which deputies reasonably believe that it
would be impractical or ineffective to use any of the tools, weapons, or methods provided by this
office. Deputies may find it more effective or reasonable to improvise their response to rapidly
unfolding conditions that they are confronting. In such circumstances, the use of any improvised
device or method must nonetheless be reasonable and utilized only to the degree that reasonably
appears necessary to accomplish a legitimate law enforcement purpose.
While the ultimate objective of every law enforcement encounter is to avoid or minimize injury,
nothing in this policy requires a deputy to retreat or be exposed to possible physical injury before
applying reasonable force.
300.3.1 ALTERNATIVE TACTICS - DE-ESCALATION
Best Practice
When circumstances reasonably permit, deputies should use non-violent strategies and
techniques to decrease the intensity of a situation, improve decision-making, improve
communication, reduce the need for force, and increase voluntary compliance (e.g., summoning
additional resources, formulating a plan, attempting verbal persuasion).
300.3.2 USE OF FORCE TO EFFECT AN ARREST
State
A deputy should apply nonviolent means, when possible, and may use physical force only if
nonviolent means would be ineffective to effect an arrest, prevent an escape, or prevent an
imminent threat of injury to deputies or others (CRS § 18-1-707).
Deputies should only use that degree of force consistent with the minimization of injury to others
(CRS § 18-1-707).
Deputies shall not apply force in excess of the force permitted by CRS § 18-1-707 to a person
who has been rendered incapable of resisting arrest (CRS § 18-8-803).
300.3.3 FACTORS USED TO DETERMINE THE REASONABLENESS OF FORCE
Federal
When determining whether to apply force and evaluating whether a deputy has used reasonable
force, a number of factors should be taken into consideration, as time and circumstances permit.
These factors include but are not limited to:
8
Pitkin County Sheriff's Office
Policy Manual
Use of Force
Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2024/09/09, All Rights Reserved.
Published with permission by Pitkin County Sheriff's Office Use of Force - 4
(a)Immediacy and severity of the threat to deputies or others.
(b)The conduct of the individual being confronted, as reasonably perceived by the deputy
at the time.
(c)Deputy/subject factors (e.g., age, size, relative strength, skill level, injuries sustained,
level of exhaustion or fatigue, the number of deputies available vs. subjects).
(d)The effects of suspected drug or alcohol use.
(e)The individual's mental state or capacity.
(f)The individual’s ability to understand and comply with deputy commands.
(g)Proximity of weapons or dangerous improvised devices.
(h)The degree to which the individual has been effectively restrained and his/her ability
to resist despite being restrained.
(i)The availability of other reasonable and feasible options and their possible
effectiveness.
(j)Seriousness of the suspected offense or reason for contact with the individual.
(k)Training and experience of the deputy.
(l)Potential for injury to deputies, suspects and others.
(m)Whether the individual appears to be resisting, attempting to evade arrest by flight,
or is attacking the deputy.
(n)The risk and reasonably foreseeable consequences of escape.
(o)The apparent need for immediate control of the individual or a prompt resolution of
the situation.
(p)Whether the conduct of the individual being confronted no longer reasonably appears
to pose an imminent threat to the deputy or others.
(q)Prior contacts with the individual or awareness of any propensity for violence.
(r)Any other exigent circumstances.
300.3.4 PAIN COMPLIANCE TECHNIQUES
Best Practice
Pain compliance techniques may be effective in controlling a physically or actively resisting
individual. Deputies may only apply those pain compliance techniques for which they have
successfully completed office-approved training. Deputies utilizing any pain compliance technique
should consider:
(a)The degree to which the application of the technique may be controlled given the level
of resistance.
(b)Whether the individual can comply with the direction or orders of the deputy.
(c)Whether the individual has been given sufficient opportunity to comply.
9
Pitkin County Sheriff's Office
Policy Manual
Use of Force

Published with permission by Pitkin County Sheriff's Office Use of Force - 5
The application of any pain compliance technique shall be discontinued once the deputy
determines that compliance has been achieved.
300.3.5 USE OF FORCE TO SEIZE EVIDENCE
Best Practice
In general, deputies may use reasonable force to lawfully seize evidence and to prevent the
destruction of evidence. However, deputies are discouraged from using force solely to prevent
a person from swallowing evidence or contraband. In the instance when force is used, deputies
should not intentionally use any technique that restricts blood flow to the head, restricts respiration
or which creates a reasonable likelihood that blood flow to the head or respiration would be
restricted. Deputies are encouraged to use techniques and methods taught by the Pitkin County
Sheriff's Office for this specific purpose.
300.3.6 PROHIBITION ON CHOKEHOLDS
State
A deputy is prohibited from using a chokehold upon another person. A chokehold is defined as
a method by which a person applies sufficient pressure to a person to make breathing difficult or
impossible. It also includes pressure to stop the flow of blood to the brain via the carotid arteries
(CRS § 18-1-707).
300.4 DEADLY FORCE APPLICATIONS
Federal
When reasonable, the deputy shall, prior to the use of deadly force, make efforts to identify
themself as a peace officer and to warn that deadly force may be used, unless the deputy has
objectively reasonable grounds to believe the person is aware of those facts or that doing so would
unduly place deputies or other persons at risk of injury or death (CRS § 18-1-707).
Use of deadly force is justified in the following circumstances involving imminent threat or imminent
risk:
(a)A deputy may use deadly force to protect themself or others from what the deputy
reasonably believes is an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury.
(b)A deputy may use deadly force to stop a fleeing subject when the deputy has probable
cause to believe that the individual has committed, or intends to commit, a felony
involving the infliction or threatened infliction of serious bodily injury or death, and the
deputy reasonably believes that there is an imminent risk of serious bodily injury or
death to any other person if the individual is not immediately apprehended. Under
such circumstances, a verbal warning should precede the use of deadly force, where
feasible.
However, a deputy should not use deadly force against a person whose actions are a threat solely
to themself or property.
Imminent does not mean immediate or instantaneous. An imminent danger may exist even if the
suspect is not at that very moment pointing a weapon at someone. For example, an imminent
danger may exist if a deputy reasonably believes that the individual has a weapon or is attempting
10
Pitkin County Sheriff's Office
Policy Manual
Use of Force
Copyright Lexipol, LLC 2024/09/09, All Rights Reserved.
Published with permission by Pitkin County Sheriff's Office Use of Force - 6
to access one and intends to use it against the deputy or another person. An imminent danger may
also exist if the individual is capable of causing serious bodily injury or death without a weapon,
and the deputy believes the individual intends to do so.
300.4.1 MOVING VEHICLES
Best Practice
Shots fired at or from a moving vehicle are rarely effective and involve considerations and risks
in addition to the justification for the use of deadly force.
When feasible, deputies should take reasonable steps to move out of the path of an approaching
vehicle instead of discharging their firearm at the vehicle or any of its occupants. A deputy should
only discharge a firearm at a moving vehicle or its occupants when the deputy reasonably believes
there are no other reasonable means available to avert the imminent threat of the vehicle, or if
deadly force other than the vehicle is directed at the deputy or others.
Deputies should not shoot at any part of a vehicle in an attempt to disable the vehicle.
300.5 REPORTING THE USE OF FORCE
Best Practice
Any use of force by a member of this office shall be documented promptly, completely, and
accurately in an appropriate report, depending on the nature of the incident. The deputy should
articulate the factors perceived and why he/she believed the use of force was reasonable under the
circumstances. To collect data for purposes of training, resource allocation, analysis and related
purposes, the Office may require the completion of additional report forms, as specified in office
policy, procedure, or law. See the Report Preparation Policy for additional circumstances that may
require documentation.
300.5.1 NOTIFICATIONS TO SUPERVISORS
Best Practice
Supervisory notification shall be made as soon as practicable following the application of force in
any of the following circumstances:
(a)The application caused a visible injury.
(b)The application would lead a reasonable deputy to conclude that the individual may
have experienced more than momentary discomfort.
(c)The individual subjected to the force complained of injury or continuing pain.
(d)The individual indicates intent to pursue litigation.
(e)Any application of the conducted energy device or control device.
(f)Any application of a restraint device other than handcuffs, shackles, or belly chains.
(g)The individual subjected to the force was rendered unconscious.
(h)An individual was struck or kicked.
(i)An individual alleges unreasonable force was used or that any of the above has
occurred.

300.5.2 REPORTING TO COLORADO DIVISION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE
State
Statistical data regarding all qualifying incidents shall be reported to the Colorado Division of
Criminal Justice as required by CRS § 24-31-903 (see the Records Department Procedures
Policy). For the purposes of this section, a qualifying incident means any (CRS § 24-31-903):
(a)Incident involving the use of force by a deputy that results in death or serious bodily
injury.
(b)Incident involving the use of force by a deputy that involved the use of a weapon.
(c)Contact with the public conducted by deputies, including entries into a residence.
(d)Instance of unannounced entry into a residence.
300.6 MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Best Practice
Once it is reasonably safe to do so, medical assistance shall be obtained for any person who
exhibits signs of physical distress, has sustained visible injury, expresses a complaint of injury
or continuing pain, or was rendered unconscious. Any individual exhibiting signs of physical
distress after an encounter should be continuously monitored until the individual can be medically
assessed. Individuals should not be placed on their stomachs for an extended period, as this could
impair their ability to breathe.
Based upon the deputy's initial assessment of the nature and extent of the individual's injuries,
medical assistance may consist of examination by an emergency medical services provider or
medical personnel at a hospital or jail. If any such individual refuses medical attention, such
a refusal shall be fully documented in related reports and, whenever practicable, should be
witnessed by another deputy and/or medical personnel. If a recording is made of the contact or
an interview with the individual, any refusal should be included in the recording, if possible.
The on-scene supervisor or, if the on-scene supervisor is not available, the primary handling
deputy shall ensure that any person providing medical care or receiving custody of a person
following any use of force is informed that the person was subjected to force. This notification
shall include a description of the force used and any other circumstances the deputy reasonably
believes would be potential safety or medical risks to the subject (e.g., prolonged struggle, extreme
agitation, impaired respiration).
Individuals who exhibit extreme agitation, violent irrational behavior accompanied by profuse
sweating, extraordinary strength beyond their physical characteristics, and imperviousness to
pain, or who require a protracted physical encounter with multiple deputies to be brought under
control, may be at an increased risk of sudden death. Calls involving these persons should be
considered medical emergencies. Deputies who reasonably suspect a medical emergency should
request medical assistance as soon as practicable and have medical personnel stage away.
See the Medical Aid and Response Policy for additional guidelines.

300.7 SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES
Best Practice MODIFIED
A supervisor should respond to a reported application of force resulting in visible injury, if
reasonably available. When a supervisor is able to respond to an incident in which there has been
a reported application of force, the supervisor is expected to:
(a)Obtain the basic facts from the involved deputies. Absent an allegation of misconduct
or excessive force, this will be considered a routine contact in the normal course of
duties.
(b)Ensure that any injured parties are examined and treated.
(c)Once any initial medical assessment has been completed or first aid has been
rendered, ensure that photographs have been taken of any areas involving visible
injury or complaint of pain, as well as overall photographs of uninjured areas.
1.These photographs should be retained until all potential for civil litigation has
expired.
(d)Identify any witnesses not already included in related reports.
(e)Review and approve all related reports.
(f)Determine if there is any indication that the individual may pursue civil litigation.
1.If there is an indication of potential civil litigation, the supervisor should complete
and provide a written notification of a potential claim to the Undersheriff within
24 hours.
(g)Evaluate the circumstances surrounding the incident and initiate an administrative
investigation if there is a question of policy noncompliance or if for any reason further
investigation may be appropriate.
In the event that a supervisor is unable to respond to the scene of an incident involving the reported
application of force, the supervisor is still expected to complete as many of the above items as
circumstances permit.
300.7.1 SHIFT SERGEANT RESPONSIBILITY
Best Practice
The Shift Sergeant shall review each use of force by any personnel within his/her command to
ensure compliance with this policy and to address any training issues.
300.8 TRAINING
Best Practice
Deputies shall receive annual training on this policy and demonstrate their knowledge and
understanding.
Subject to available resources, deputies should receive periodic training on guidelines regarding
vulnerable populations, including but not limited to children, elderly, pregnant persons, and
individuals with physical, mental, or intellectual disabilities.

Best Practice
At least annually, the Patrol Division Chief should prepare an analysis report on use of force
incidents. The report should be submitted to the Sheriff. The report should not contain the names
of deputies, suspects or case numbers, and should include:
(a)The identification of any trends in the use of force by members.
(b)Training needs recommendations.
(c)Equipment needs recommendations.
(d)Policy revision recommendations.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
WORK SESSION DATE: April 15th, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Older Adults CSA Program
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Samuel Landercasper, Deputy Director, Human Services
ISSUE STATEMENT: With the recent cancellation of the Local Food Purchase Assistance
Cooperative Agreement Program (LFPA) by the USDA, the Pitkin County Older Adults CSA Program
that has been providing free local produce to older adults for 5 months during the summer is now
unfunded. This creates a significant gap in food security for older adults in Pitkin County, particularly
low-income older adults.
BACKGROUND: For the past seven (7) years, Pitkin County has worked with Two Roots Farm to
provide free, local organic produce to older adults in Pitkin County. From the beginning, the program
was funded using LFPA funds from the USDA. The purpose of the program and funding was “to
purchase foods produced within the state or within 400 miles of the delivery destination to help support
local, regional and underserved producers. The purpose of this program is to maintain and improve
food and agricultural supply chain resiliency.”
Initially, the funds were administered by LiveWell Colorado which became Nourish Colorado. Pitkin
County would apply each year for the program and funding would pass-through to Two Roots Farm.
There were no administrative costs associated with the grant. For the past three years, the funding was
managed by CDHS who notified us on March 10th, 2025 that the funding had been rescinded and the
program canceled. Funding levels varied between $20,000 and $60,000 annually, with the higher
amounts being made available during COVID response. On average, between 35-50 older adults were
receiving 5-10 lbs of free produce weekly between mid-May and mid-October.
This lack of funding and loss of this program represent a significant gap in the food security system
in Pitkin County. It impacts not only vulnerable older adults, but also our local farm economy. It is
known that decreases in food security for older adults, especially lack of access to nutritious produce,
has been associated with nutritional decline, increase risk or worsening of chronic diseases, higher risk
of dementia and depression, economic strain, decreased mobility, and loss of independence.
Support for the program has been significant with participants providing positive feedback both in-
person and through surveys. Some recipients wrote letters to the press in support of the program.
Anecdotally, in addition to the appreciation shown for the free produce, participants expressed
appreciation for the opportunity for socialization and volunteerism. The distribution is held at the
Senior Center which also provides participants with the opportunity for free lunch and other activities.
The Department has approached other local funding partners to gauge their interest in helping to fund
the program. The consensus was that some would potentially be interested at smaller amounts (approx.
15
$5,000) but would like to see a more substantial commitment before joining. The Department will
continue to explore potential grant opportunities that could offset the cost of the program.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Livable & Supportive Community; Prosperous Economy
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS: Recognizing the importance of the CSA program for Pitkin County,
does the County have the interest and capacity to fund this program?
BUDGETARY IMPACT: $30,000 to $50,000
RECOMMENDED BOCC ACTION: The Human Services Department recommends that the
BOCC fund the project at a minimum of $30,000. However, the program would best fit the demand
funded at $50,000. Potential funding sources include the General Fund or the Healthy Community
Fund, the latter of which has a substantial fund balance.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
WORK SESSION DATE: April 15, 2025
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Overview of Draft Intergovernmental Agreement for the
Construction of the Roaring Fork Fire Rescue Authority’s Station
42 Improvement Project and Pitkin County Regional Emergency
Communications Center Project
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Ann Driggers, Brett Loeb, GR Fielding
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Roaring Fork Fire Rescue Authority (RFFR) and Pitkin County are drafting an intergovernmental
agreement to facilitate efficient processes and timely construction of both the renovation and
expansion of District Station 42 and an additional floor area to Station 42 for Pitkin County Dispatch
for a new Regional Emergency Communications Center.
BACKGROUND:
The relocation of the Pitkin County Regional Emergency Dispatch Center from its current
location within the Aspen Fire Department’s Station 62 to a new, purpose-built facility at
RFFR’s Station 42 aims to establish a permanent and sustainable main communications center
that will serve our county’s needs for the next 30 years. In the 2025 budget the BOCC approved
the construction of an approx. 4,500-square-foot facility on the second floor of RFFR’s Station
42 with a target move-in date of mid-2026, at an estimated cost of $5 million. As part of the
approval of this capital funding request we began the process of drafting an agreement with
RFFR to be presented to the BOCC for review and approval at a later date.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
The relocation and construction of a new dispatch center at Station 42 will provide a
sustainable, resilient, and efficient home for PCREDC’s operations, supporting its mission to
deliver reliable and responsive emergency communications for all of Pitkin County and all the
law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services agencies therein.
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS:
The draft IGA describes how the two entities will work together to facilitate efficient processes
and timely construction of both the renovation and expansion of Station 42 and grounds and a
new additional floor area to Station 42 for Pitkin County Dispatch. The IGA will provide
agreement on the following:
•Construction process and cost sharing as it relates to all aspects of construction,
mechanical and electrical, earthwork, utilities, roof, parking and other site amenities
•Funding strategy between the two entities
•Condominimumization of the dispatch center
17
•Compensation for land
•and other aspects to be determined.
The purpose of this work session is to familiarize the BOCC with the outline of the draft IGA
prior to it being presented for formal adoption.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
The total cost of the new Dispatch center is estimated at $5 million, $2 million of which will be
paid out in 2025 and the remainder in 2026. This has been included in the 2025 budget and the
five-year plan for the Capital Fund.
RECOMMENDED BOCC ACTION: For discussion.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
WORK SESSION DATE: 4/15/2025
AGENDA ITEM TITLE:ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING FEES FOR
PUBLIC CHARGERS
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Matt Bergstresser, Fleet Manager
Brian Pettet, Public Works Director
ISSUE STATEMENT:
Pitkin County will soon be completing another direct current fast charger (DCFC) at Public Works.
There is an opportunity to provide the Community a fast charging option and offset infrastructure
costs.
BACKGROUND:
Over the past three years, the County has made significant investment to expand its EV charging
network for a growing number of County-owned fleet vehicles. Given additional capacity that exists
with the superior DCFC chargers at Public Works, there is an opportunity to allow the public to
charge as part of the ChargePoint charging network with a commensurate fee.
Currently, there is capacity to charge 16 vehicles at a rate of up to 160 kilowatts (kW). Some of
these chargers are inside the FFA security fence at the Airport and will not be available to the public.
By comparison, the DCFC chargers will support charging rates up to 400kw, which would allow a
customer to wait while their car charges in a short amount of time. Payment transactions would be
managed through ChargePoint, the charger manufacturer. A 10% ChargePoint fee would be applied
to cover the costs of hosting and managing credit card and app-based transactions.
Additionally, it is proposed to match the City of Aspen EV charging rates, even though the County’s
DCFC will provide a much faster charge for customers. The following is the proposed fee schedule
for this program:
Sixty Cents (.60) per kWh with a $1 dollar per minute idle fee starting after 5 minutes. All fee’s
subject to a 10% change per calendar year.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN:
Flourishing and Natural Built Environment
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS:
Does the BOCC desire to enhance the public facing EV charging capabilities and support a fee to
offset infrastructure and electricity?
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
19
Any revenue generated would be used to pay for capital costs for existing and expanding public
charging capacity.
RECOMMENDED BOCC ACTION:
Move item for consideration of a resolution on first reading on April 23, 2025
