PALMER LAKE, Colo. (KOAA) — The results of Palmer Lake's special election were certified on Thursday. There were three things on the ballot.
One of those ordinances was to allow the people of the Town of Palmer Lake to vote whether or not to annex any land in the future, or in the last year.
That ordinance passed, with 780 people voting in favor of it, throwing the plans for the proposed Buc-ee's travel center at I-25 and County Line Road into limbo.
The other part of this special election was an initiative to recall two trustees, Kevin Dreher and Shana Ball.
The recall committee claims in part that they failed to provide fair, balanced, and well-informed leadership. Both Dreher and Ball have been outspoken in disagreeing with these allegations.
Both trustees were recalled. More than 670 people voted to recall Ball, and more than 640 were in favor of recalling Dreher.
The final item on the special election was who they could be replaced with. The following three names were included:
- Roger Moseley
- John Marble
- Elizabeth Harris
Since Moseley and Harris got the most votes, they will be the new replacements.
