he Board of County Commissioners is elected by registered voters in the county and is designated as
a representative per district. Commissioner James Newberry is the representative of District I, Commissioner Nancy Stuart is the representative of District II, and Commissioner Gary Bumgamer is the
representative of District III.
It is the desire of the Board of County Commissioners to provide a natural and social environment suitable
for a variety of commercial, recreational, and personal pursuits in which people can live, work, play, grow up,
and grow old reasonably safe from crime and harm by reducing the hurt and suffering of the less fortunate,
recognizing the worth of all people and the value of all elements of our heterogeneous community, evaluating
the trust and understanding of citizens through informed public consent, irreproachable stewardship of public
resources and proactive pursuit and protection
of shared values, without undue interference in their lives, and thereby protecting and enriching the quality of
life of current and future generations of Grand County residents, businesses, and visitors. Protection of property rights should be recognized in order to meet this vision.

The GIS departmental goals are to coordinate the human, capital and fiscal resources to build
the major base map layers critical to the county agencies. The numerous project benefits include;
eliminating data redundancy and duplicate effort, increase in accuracy, currency and the access and
availability of geographic information.
The major base map layer in development phase at this time is the Parcel-Property layer. Database coverage’s for land use analysis are also being created. Concurrently, the department is
responsible for updating existing map data, and coordinating application development.
In consideration to the scope of the project, the provision of mapping & data services to citizens, other government agencies and the business community is limited and based upon resource
availability.

resource management strategies for the protection and enhancement of local natural resources
and to educate and assist the residents of Grand County. Many of our efforts are coordinated
with private landowners, state and federal land management agencies, and our adjacent sister
counties. Successful collaboration with our partners is essential to our success on a landscape

DNR tries to address and implement meaningful wildfire mitigation efforts that affect the
most acres possible. These efforts whenever possible are coordinated via a collaborative working
relationship between the private sector and land management agencies with DNR acting as the
middle man or broker.
The DNR noxious weed and invasive species program is one of the most aggressive and successful in the state of Colorado. What is a noxious weed? Noxious weeds are non-native plant
species that have been introduced into an environment with few, if any, natural biological controls, thus giving them a distinct competitive advantage in dominating and crowding out native plant species. Biodiversity and ecosystem stability are threatened by noxious weeds as are
production agriculture and recreational opportunities. DNR incorporates an integrated weed
management strategy that includes cooperative partnerships, education, and control methods
that include cultural, physical, biological and chemical uses.
The DNR office is located at the Granby Road and Bridge building. To find out more specific

as first chronicled by the famous western writer, Zane Grey the men and women who
came to this part of the country during the Westward expansion of the United States
were bound by an unwritten Code of Conduct. The values of integrity and self reliance guided their decisions, actions and interactions. In keeping with that spirit we offer this
information to help the citizens of Grand County who wish to follow in the footsteps of those
rugged individualists by living outside city limits.
It is important for you to know that life in the county is different from life in the city. County
governments are not able to provide the same level of service that city governments provide. To
that end, we are providing you with the following information to help you get to know Grand
County Government.
