,
Per Jefferson County Code (lCe) 18.05.080 the office of the Hearing Examiner is created and established.
The Hearing Examiner exercises the authority designated in 18.40 JCC to conduct land use hearings on
such matters as conditional use permits, variances and road vacations.
ANAL YSIS/STRATEGlC GOALS
The Hearing Examiner conducts quasi-judicial hearings on land use applications. The Examiner prepares
written findings of facts and conclusions of law based on local, state and federa1laws. The Examiner is
the decision maker for Jefferson County on those applications outlined in JCC 18.40. These cases require
thorough knowledge of all legal requirements, including an understanding of due process, procedures, and
court decisions.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
The Hearing Examiner is part of the County Administrator budget. The 2012 adopted budget includes this
item for expenditure by Jefferson County.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Community Development recommends the BOCC approve this contract amendment.
