As of today, Frisco's election for council members will be canceled. A resolution to approve this was OK'd at Tuesday's town council meeting.
There are three candidates to fill three seats, so an election isn't necessary.
Though the Town of Dillon also has three candidates to fill three open council seats, its election is not being canceled as there are two mayor candidates - Don Parsons and Ron Holland.

The Summit Chamber of Commerce invites you to celebrate its revitalization on March 18 from 5:30-7:30 p.m at the Best Western Lake Dillon Lodge, located at 1202 Summit Blvd. in Frisco. In honor of the celebration, Climax Molybdenum and the Summit Daily News will host the Business-After-Hours Mixer.
Admission will be free. Join us for food, drinks, fun, door prizes, networking and business. Chamber partners and the general public are encouraged to attend, not only to celebrate the Chamber's future, but our wonderful community as well. The Chamber is grateful for the support it has received within the community the past few months, as it strives to represent the business voice of Summit County.
With food provided by All Seasons Catering and wine by D'Vine Wine, the evening is sure to be great. Thank you to additional sponsors of the evening; Creative Cabinetry, Edward Jones, GOP, Pinnacol Assurance, Tiger Run Resort and Yellowbook.

DILLON - Geoffrey Schmidt's desire to join Dillon's town council partly stems from his love for the community. But he also seeks public office to be heard by the town on his opinions over two public works projects. As one of three council candidates seeking three open spots, Schmidt will likely be a new member come April.
"The beauty of the lake and the mountains, the recreational opportunities and the small-town atmosphere of Dillon are aspects of our lives that we appreciate every day," said Schmidt, one of three town council candidates. "I want to be a member of Dillon's town council to help perpetuate the quality of life we've enjoyed in Dillon."
He also noted two specific town public works projects he would like to have influence over - the road reconstruction project in the Corinthian Hill neighborhood and rate fee increases for sewer and water use in Dillon.

SUMMIT COUNTY - The Summit Board of County Commissioners voted Tuesday to approve an expansion of Old Dillon Reservoir, located on U.S. Forest Service land between the Dillon Dam Road and Interstate 70.
The proposed expansion would enlarge Old Dillon Reservoir's capacity from 62 acre-feet to 286 acre-feet by raising its north and south dams.

Old Dillon Reservoir was originally constructed in 1936 as a water-supply source for Dillon. The 14-acre reservoir is fed by water diverted from Salt Lick Gulch, just to its north. Salt Lick Gulch is a tributary of the lower Blue River.
In 1963, Denver Water constructed the new Dillon Reservoir to supply drinking water to Denver, requiring the town of Dillon
