Joel White, Division Chief Patrol — Sheriff  
On April 21, 2025, the Douglas County Seizure Board approved two funding requests

the equipment being purchased, a Controlled Equipment Approval Request Form needs to  
ultimately be approved by the DOJ prior to moving forward with the purchase. This form  
requires the approval of the Board of County Commissioners before it can be submitted for  
DOJ approval.  
The drones are utilized for suspect searches, crime scene documentation/evidence search,  
tactical operations, and search and rescue missions. These drones have enhanced color night  
vision and extended range that will aid our teams in these critical missions.

s. Materials Only Purchase with Econolite Control Products, Inc., for Ten Advanced Traffic  
Controller Cabinets and Ten Uninterrupted Power Supply Systems with Super Capacitors, in  
the Amount of $360,526.30. Douglas County Project Number TF 2025-015.  
Danny Montoya, P.E., Principal Traffic Engineer - Systems — Department of Public Works  
Engineering  
Technology is ever evolving in our world, as it likewise evolves in the traffic signal  
equipment industry. Douglas County traffic signal equipment is primarily based on 1970s  
technology that is gradually being phased out or made obsolete by newer technologies.  
Over the past year, Douglas County Traffic has been evaluating new traffic signal equipment  
to replace obsolete signal equipment, including Econolite Control Products ATC traffic  
signal cabinets and Super Capacitor UPS systems. Based on these evaluations, Douglas  
County Traffic would like to move forward with this purchase to continue the  
retiring/replacing obsolete equipment, which is critical to maintaining our ability to keep  
signal equipment running safely and efficiently now and in the future.  
Additionally, this new traffic signal equipment is targeted to replace obsolete equipment  
along Douglas County’s ATSPM (Advanced Traffic Signal Performance Measures) Pilot  
Project corridor on Lincoln Avenue/University Boulevard, complementing new traffic signal  
controllers and vehicle detection currently being deployed along this corridor for the ATSPM  
project.  
Econolite Control Products, Inc. is the sole provider of this new equipment, which has been  
tested by Douglas County staff to ensure desired functionality.  
Funding is available using Fund 200, Account No. 31660.474370 - Traffic Signals -

t. Acceptance of Quitclaim Deed from Elora Commercial Metropolitan District Regarding a  
Segment of Right-of-Way for Delbert Road Located Adjacent to the Elora Subdivision  
Development in Elbert County.  
Dirk Zender, Real Property Acquisition Specialist II — Department of Public Works  
Engineering  
MU Elora LLC (“Elora”) is developing certain subdivision improvements in Elbert County  
located adjacent to Douglas County’s northeastern jurisdictional boundary. As part of the  
subdivision development, Elora dedicated additional right-of-way to Elbert County for future  
roadway improvements to Delbert Road located adjacent to the development. It was  
determined that an additional unused segment of right-of-way for Delbert Road is located  
between the existing roadway improvements in Douglas County and the right-of-way tract  
dedicated to Elbert County (the “ROW Segment”). The ROW Segment is located within  
Douglas County’s jurisdictional boundary and is owned by the Elora Commercial  
Metropolitan District (“ECMD”). ECMD wishes to dedicate the ROW Segment to Douglas  
County for continuity.

u. Resolution Authorizing the Acquisition of Real Property from Pine Corporate Solutions,  
LLC as Public Right-of-Way for the Pine Drive Widening Project (Lincoln Avenue to  
Inspiration Drive), in the Amount of $23,850.00; Douglas County Project No. CI 2020-019.  
Dirk Zender, Real Property Acquisition Specialist II — Department of Public Works  
Engineering  
On November 15, 2022, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Public Contract for  
Services with Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, Inc. to provide design services for the Pine Drive  
Widening Project (Lincoln Avenue to Inspiration Drive) (the “Project”). The Project consists  
of widening Pine Drive to 4-lanes north of Lincoln Avenue to increase vehicle capacity and  
safety and installing new traffic signals at the Pine Drive/Ponderosa Drive intersection and  
the Pine Drive/Pine Lane intersection for better traffic progression and improved safety.  
The Project design is complete, and the County is currently performing utility relocations in  
advance of Project construction. In order to construct the Project, the County needs to  
acquire the final right-of-way parcel from a parcel of real property owned by Pine Corporate  
Solutions, LLC (“PCS”). PCS’s real property is encumbered by a conservation easement  
held by Douglas Land Conservancy (“DLC”) that requires the conservation easement interest  
be extinguished from the right-of-way parcel to be acquired by the County through a judicial  
condemnation proceeding. County staff has discussed the Project with PCS and DLC, and  
the parties have reached agreement on the acquisition of the right-of-way and entered into a  
Memorandum of Agreement stipulating the terms of the acquisition process.

Chuck Smith Engineer III — Department of Public Works Engineering  
Windfield Enterprises, LLC is proposing to dedicate right-of-way to Douglas County for a  
cul-de-sac bubble to provide for a turnaround. The right-of-way for the cul-de-sac bubble  
was originally approved by the Board of County Commissioners in March of 2024 and after  
the bubble was constructed, it was determined that a portion of the bubble was constructed  
outside of the dedicated ROW. This dedication captures the entire cul-de-sac bubble.

b. Public Contract for Services to TST Infrastructure, LLC, for the Spring Canyon 2023 Local  
Improvements District Project, in the Amount of $957,000.00, Douglas County Project  
Number CI 2023-019.  
Amy Strouthopoulos, P.E., Pavement Engineering Supervisor — Department of Public  
Works Engineering  
The Spring Canyon 2023 LID was created by the County after petitions from the property  
owners within the LIDs were received. The LID will construct water and sanitary sewer  
mains, natural gas and electric mains, and roadway and drainage improvements that will  
allow the lots within the LID to become buildable lots. The County and the Perry Park Water  
and Sanitation District (PPWSD) are partnering to manage the design and construction of the  
improvements. The lot owners within the LIDs will be assessed an equal share of the total  
project costs of the improvements, including the cost of this design contract.  
TST Infrastructure is the civil engineering consultant that PPWSD is using to design water  
and sanitary sewer mains for the district, including for LIDs. To reduce costs and provide  
design efficiency for the LID, the County will utilize TST to complete the design of the  
roadway and drainage improvements for the LID in conjunction with the design of the water  
and sanitary sewer mains. Based on past performance on similar LID projects completed for  
the County and PPWSD, and their unique knowledge of the project and associated  
infrastructure, including a water storage tank and sanitary sewer lift station, staff is  
recommending using TST for the design work associated with the LID.  
Funding for this project will advance from Business Unit 800731 in Fund 350, in the amount  
of $957,000.00. The County will receive a bank loan for the LID, and will reimburse this  
Business Unit in 2026, once the construction contract is awarded.
