Job Description:
EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO (population: 55,731) Eagle County was
created by the Colorado legislature on February 11, 1883 from
portions of Summit County. It was named after the Eagle River,
which runs through the county. The county seat was originally set
in Red Cliff but was moved to the town of Eagle in 1921.
Eagle County is located on the western slope of the state,
approximately 90 miles west of Denver and 100 miles east of Grand
Junction via Interstate 70 and is ranked as one of the best places
to live. Set in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the majority of Eagle
County's residents live along the I-70 corridor in the Eagle River
Valley, with an additional population center located in the Roaring
Fork Valley in the southwest corner of the county where it
converges with two other counties. While Eagle County is considered
rural based upon population size, it is the 14th most populous of
Colorado's 64 counties.
The economy in Eagle County continues to be dominated by the ski
industry, real estate, and other tourism-related businesses. Vail
and Beaver Creek ski areas, operated by Vail Resorts, are two of
the most popular winter destination ski resorts in the U.S. In
addition to world-class skiing and snowboarding at Vail and Beaver
Creek, tourists visiting the county's scenic, historical and summer
recreational areas make a significant contribution to the county's
economy. Summer recreational activities in the county include
rafting, kayaking, paddle boarding, horseback riding, camping,
ghost town exploration, backpacking, mountain climbing, mountain
biking, and tennis. In addition, fishing and big game hunting.
The Community Development Department consists of 3 divisions:
Building Inspection, Planning and Code Enforcement, with a total of
