Bobby Gutierrez cooks hamburgers and hotdogs at Meekerpalooza in 2015
MEEKER | Gearing up for summer events, the Town of Meeker’s Board of Trustees approved special event liquor permits for the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Banquet (June 12) and four Meekerpalooza events (June 11 and 25, July 9 and 23). The board also approved a fermented malt beverage license for the Little Cheese Shop.
Public Works Supervisor Russell Overton said the two “parklets” are complete and ready to be placed outside local businesses. And town crews assisted County Planner and Surveyor Leif Joy with locating and raising one of the oldest survey monuments in town to a usable level this week. The monument, at the intersection of Fourth and Main streets, was more than 3 feet below ground. Survey monuments, or markers, are placed to mark key survey points.
The board reappointed Leif Joy to the Meeker Planning Commission, reappointed Scott Nielsen and Kathleen Sizemore to the Meeker Housing Authority Board, and appointed Sean VonRoenn to the Housing Authority board.
