DISCUSSION ITEMS:
ACTION ITEMS:
-approved SEP (special events permit) for Elbert Day on July 8.
-discussed ratification of Bison Oil & Gas Partners agreement; (Danny Willcox has already signed the agreement even though this is the first time the issue has been discussed in public); Thayer made sure Bison removed the confidentiality agreement - standard agreement; involves 30 acres - county being paid $3,000/per acre; three year lease with option to extend; 30% royalty if well is successful; Thayer says the amount of lease suggests that this company has some “short term goals.” Thayer says that the Niobrara play is moving south - that the oil is becoming mature enough to harvest. Proposing to frack this well if successful. A citizen asked about the roads - what if roads are damaged? Will oil company fix? Thayer said that a road use agreement would be a part of the process. Approved ratification of lease.
