           RECOGNIZING CHAFFEE COUNTY COMMISSIONER GREG FELT

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 9, 2025

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Greg Felt of 
Chaffee County, Colorado for his service to the people of Salida, Buena 
Vista, and Poncha Springs, on the Chaffee County Board of County 
Commissioners.
  Commissioner Felt is a dedicated public servant who has served the 
people of Chaffee County for much of his life. He led the county's 
response to the Decker Fire and guided public health efforts as Board 
of Health Chair during the pandemic. He has spent his entire life on or 
around the Arkansas River and has gained a unique perspective on our 
natural resources. With his expertise, he served as the Director for 
both the Upper Arkansas and Southeastern Colorado Water Conservancy 
Districts to help protect Colorado's Water and was appointed by Gov. 
Jared Polis to represent the Arkansas River Basin on the Colorado Water 
Conservation Board. Commissioner Felt created a lasting impact on the 
Arkansas River, and for Chaffee County, and his presence will be 
missed.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to congratulate Commissioner Felt for his time on the 
Chaffee County Board of County Commissioners and sincerely thank him 
for his contributions to the Colorado community. I wish him the best of 
luck in his future endeavors.

                          ____________________
