GLENWOOD SPRINGS – — The trustees of Colorado Mountain College will hold a “special meeting” Friday to take the school’s next step in preparing for a legal battle that seems headed its way.
The board of trustees were to meet at 10 a.m., via videoconference, to select an outside attorney from among a field of possibilities, according to college spokesperson Debra Crawford.
Explaining that Friday’s meeting will begin with an executive session, Crawford wrote in an email on Thursday, “The issue to be discussed is the hiring of separate counsel for the SourceGas matter.”
SourceGas, a natural-gas distribution company, had hoped to build a booster compressor station on either of two sites at the school’s Spring Valley Campus. The sites are located along a natural gas pipeline that stretches from Rifle to Avon and supplies gas to residential and commercial customers.
The school’s CEO, Stan Jensen, in 2011 signed a lease for the first proposed site, a relatively remote, five-acre location where SourceGas planned to put the compressor station.
