Commissioner Garcia stated he participated in his first meeting as the Commissioner Coordinator for
the Department of Public Works with the Director, Pat Persichino, and he learned there has been more

high levels of snowfall. He commended the Department for doing a great job of keeping the roads
clear.
Chair Rademacher stated he attended a meeting with Senator Michael Bennet last Monday where he
was able to express his opinions regarding how the lack of regulations being applied to the agriculture
